4:53 am
lynxxx

Australia (stupidly) works on a calender month - our Winter is 1st June to 31st Aug - ie not 'true seasons
4:54 am
herinfernallady

That is Roman Calander not Pagan Calander sorry if that is the wrong words I broke my brain
4:54 am
herinfernallady

opps Gregorian
4:54 am

we should do that too because our winter always starts sooner than Dec 21
4:55 am
westford

it's usually snowing here by mid November
4:56 am
westford

when my husband was in the Navy they had to change uniforms on a certain date didn't matter if it was blasting hot or freezing cold
4:56 am
westford

same with the heating and airconditioning
4:57 am
herinfernallady

We used to work on Term Dates for school clothes and it was ridiculous as September was still freezing and we had to wear summer uniform.

5:01 am
westford

don't do that herin you'll be passing it back and forth for weeks
5:02 am
herinfernallady

Yep But make him suffer. I am watching this idiot on telly smash a very old marble fireplace. I don't think you can print what i said
5:02 am
westford

is it one of those makeover shows?
5:04 am
herinfernallady

Yes and they just put vinyl records on the wall. Seriously what they just did was the equivalent of telling me that you just soaked old books in kero and made them into fire bricks.
5:05 am
westford

I know just what you mean they destroy beautiful things so they can have a simplistic look
5:09 am
herinfernallady

It drives me spare. I love our house and there is so much that we could do if it was ours
5:10 am
westford

you appreciate the finer things
5:11 am
herinfernallady

I am sad that we had to cover our fireplace
5:11 am
westford

did you move some furniture in front of it or really cover it?
5:12 am
herinfernallady

Moved Furniture as we dont have much space
5:13 am
herinfernallady

We dont have much blank wall space nor money to buy things to fix the problem
5:13 am
westford

that's too bad you'll probably save on heat though fireplaces can let in lots of cold air
5:14 am
herinfernallady

That is true. We do have ducted heating
5:15 am
westford

it's like money going up the chimney
5:16 am
herinfernallady

true
5:16 am
westford

they are nice to have though
5:16 am
westford

Santa needs a place to come in lol
5:17 am
herinfernallady

but the fire place is very pretty. Once we get the money we are getting the 43 inch Tv repaired then a cabinat for storage
5:17 am
westford

that will be very nice
5:18 am
westford

have you looked into buying a new TV might be less than getting that one fixed
5:19 am
westford

they've really gone down in price here
5:20 am
herinfernallady

No. THe tv will cost about $300 to fix its a $3000 tv
5:21 am
westford

then you're doing the right thing
5:22 am
westford

speaking of TV's we bought a 23 inch flat screen TV for one of the bedrooms for $200 pretty good deal it's a Samsung
5:22 am
westford

so we get it home and find out it's not a TV at all it's a monitor!!
5:22 am
herinfernallady

oh bugger

5:23 am
westford

5:23 am
westford

5:24 am
herinfernallady

Oh that is good. Simple mistake to make
5:24 am
westford

now we're wondering what a TV like that will really cost
5:24 am
herinfernallady

Oh dear
5:25 am
westford

we have an old fashioned 13" that works fine for now
5:25 am
westford

I usually put the TV on to fall asleep to
5:26 am
herinfernallady

Scrabbler

Yep, Qu is now grey.

6:17 am
westford

no thanks
6:17 am
crosshair

then down it at a single draught
6:17 am
westford

sounds worse than the hangover
6:17 am
crosshair

cures any hangover,i promise
6:18 am
BabbleRabble

inebriates likely are more concerned about their next drink than a piddling cold
6:18 am

6:25 am
Scrabbler

Haha, BR. Anger management is needed.

herinfernallady

6:26 am
crosshair

lol herin,want wormwodd? just get a nice bottle of imported absinthe
6:26 am
LoriP

6:26 am
crosshair

that will kill the cold lol
6:27 am
herinfernallady

This is fairly heavy duty stuff minus the heavy duty price tag
6:27 am
Scrabbler

I decided that my final comment will be: I wish you peace. Because that's what he needs. To find peace and happiness in life, instead of being a jerk, but I fear he will not learn in this lifetime.
6:28 am
crosshair

it is offered in our flagship l.c.b.o store at $85.00 for a bottle somewhere between a mickey and a 26er;(
6:28 am
LoriP

Scrabbler, as you know too well, those people usually don't learn.
Unfortunately.
6:29 am
Scrabbler

No, for him life is about power, control, greed, seeking admiration, etc.
6:29 am
LoriP

6:30 am
crosshair

so scrabbs,from what o gather he is a type A,overwound twitchy sort who should get his first million and his first heat attack round the same time?
6:31 am
Scrabbler

But he is such a poor businessman (foolish decisions) that he is always struggling and then his employees are underpaid.
6:31 am
herinfernallady

Cross this stuff cost about $15
6:32 am
crosshair

lol,the real stuff (i think from poland or the baltic or some such place) is much more expensive

bye Lori
7:26 am
Haz1558

I can't tell you of the mental images that's conjuring up.
7:26 am
Uniquity

Lori is probably putting on her radar system and walking to FM's to get her on here. THis "reloading" is just a guise.
7:27 am
sprite

right
7:27 am
Haz1558

Could she be doing housework and being too shy to mention it?
7:27 am
Atalante

oh look! flying pigs!
7:27 am
Uniquity

No.
7:27 am

we're still talking about Lori, right?
7:28 am

I just thought I would indulge in some blue sky thinking, be creative etc.
7:28 am

It did not pan out.
7:28 am

I knew housework and Lori are unlikely companions in any sentence.
7:29 am

as unlikely as Spangle and ugly

7:32 am
Atalante

Innocence, yes
7:32 am
Haz1558

She doesn't do well with sleeping in. She likes to be up with the larks.
7:32 am
Atalante

How can one be innocent with half-naked men hanging outside one's window
7:32 am
Uniquity

No wonder I never catch her on babble. She's up early, I'm up late and we're four hours apart!
7:33 am

it was so lovely to see my daddy!!! great dinner too!
7:33 am
Haz1558

Something in my psyche tells me that she's working. I get signals.
7:33 am
Atalante

how very random
7:33 am
sprite

them being only half-naked and able to walk away unmolested kind of proves her innocense.
7:33 am
Uniquity

Something in my inbox tells me she is working.
7:34 am
Atalante

Uni has a pyschic inbox!
7:34 am

I want to see my Mama! :D

There are a lot of words I've never encountered before. I'm wondering if I'll retain them.

Because it's wonderful, FM.

and because it's a British summer sporting tradition
10:32 am
FMitch

sure.
10:32 am

be lucky if i find them let alone retain them...
10:32 am

And it is only for a fortnight, and it's nice to see tradition meeting sport.

10:35 am
Haz1558

Ah, I didn't realise you didn't have digital yet. You're really missing out with the shopping channels. I've never known people to be able to talk for so long about nothing and still sound as though they're thrilled with every product.
10:35 am

The other evening they had people on showing how to make Christmas cards. I kid you not.
10:37 am
FMitch

Has anyone here actually bought anything from one of those shopping channels?
10:37 am
Haz1558

They had a Christmas tree up and everything. That's taking being prepared too far.
10:37 am
Haz1558

I haven't, FM.
10:37 am

not me i just breeze right by them when channel surfing....
10:38 am

I would have been aghast if you said you had!
10:38 am
sadie52

well thats just pushing the season a tad
10:38 am
Haz1558

They may well be a boon for people who can't get out to shop, but the endless prattle would drive me round the bend.
10:39 am

If BabbleRabble were he he would remind us how many days to Christmas eek!

I am going for Murray... I know it is a longshot... cause Federer has his eye fixated to this one.

And the ones where the price comes down are even worse - encouraging you to buy but to hold off buying is something of an art form.

no, it's not worth it. just be gentle with yourself and you'll get there quicker
12:55 pm

laparascopically. Have five little holes.
1:03 pm
jacq

i had a hysterectomy at 26 they reopened my c section scar for it
1:04 pm
gwenski

It was a bit difficult for the doc to do. He came very close to opening me up. C-section scar tissue, plus everything was bigger than they expected.
1:04 pm
jacq

wow gwen that's good, you should recover well and quickly just take it easy
1:04 pm
jacq

nods
1:04 pm
gwenski

Yes, very glad that he didn't have to open me up.
1:05 pm
Atalante

it's amazing how they can get big things out of you laproscopically
1:06 pm

Yes it is. And google 'Da Vinci surgical system' to find out even more interesting things. The doc used this on me.

one of my best friends was at uni with me, and we lived in a block of halls across the corridor from each other. Now friend is wonderful in many ways, but tidyness and cleanliness are not some of them. She grew up in a house with cleaners and people tidying everything for her etc etc. So university was a bit of a challenge. Anyway. at the end of the year, all rooms were inspected ...
1:38 pm
Atalante

the inspector guy looked under her bedcovers, and under the bed (the under bedspace was about 10" high) and the entire underbed area was a 10" mass of mould. Solid mould under the whole bed.

Don't let Ata on the beach. She'll come back full of holes.
4:54 pm
Dorens

silly apple store... they have none in stock. they have some they could sell me, and they are exactly the same, but different inventory, and my warranty is still good for another 29 days (!)
4:54 pm
Atalante

for once, no. we wandered from home through the woods and fields around the local villages adn stuff
4:54 pm
wildcat17

absolutely use that warranty
4:55 pm

funny old grid today - i still have 78 words to find

be careful on the beach ata, no broken bones or sprains, please
4:55 pm
wildcat17

woods are fun too ... see any good wildlife?
4:55 pm
Uniquity

Dorens, tell them to order one from another store. There are many ways to make that have a shorter wait. Thus is the point of warranties!

4:57 pm
Uniquity

The only apples I have had the misfortune to use hace been six years old and sadly outdated. I find them very uncomfortable and boring. Then again, I am attached to my poopy (but much loved!) laptop.
4:58 pm

oh no, i love my mac... particularly when the warranty covers the problem!
4:58 pm

Thanks for clues found them and fireworks!!
4:59 pm

Greetings Babble buddies. I am lunging in the front yard under the trees, watching birds and squirrels.
4:59 pm
Uniquity

With computers, warranties are almost always worth their weight in gold. Particularly macs, because if they were to break it would be an arm and a leg. They break in the funniest ways! I am learning more about them as I have to use them at work.

oh - lunging - I thought you were breathing in lots of air
5:01 pm
Haz1558

As long as you're not in a luge. Those things are mad.
5:01 pm
Scrabbler

It is one of those anti-gravity chairs that can tip back and hold me horizontally. $39 well spent--so comfy.
5:02 pm
Uniquity

Anti gravity? Horizontal? This sounds like a chair best used with a partner...
5:02 pm
Scrabbler

I turn into a human luge in the winter when I wipe out down a hill while cross-country skiing.
5:03 pm
Scrabbler

Don't tell, Hazel, but George will be here to share the chair soon.
5:03 pm
Uniquity

I expected as much.
5:03 pm

Of course he will, Scrabbler.
5:03 pm

So, how long is it since you last took your meds?

Scrabbler

I live in an elaborate fantasy world.
5:04 pm
Dorens

was busy trying to figure out how to get picture of wildcat and me up here... just saw that scrabbler is out there lunging at the animals!
5:04 pm
Scrabbler

I decided that I don't need my meds, Hazel.
5:04 pm
Haz1558

You need to take them regularly for best therapeutic dose. Otherwise you'll get breakthroughs or blips in reality.
5:04 pm
Uniquity

Hm. Fantasy world. Horizontal anti-gravity chairs. What does Scrabs do in her spare time? *Thinks of how many times "restraints" have been mentioned..
5:04 pm

A chipmunk just peeked out from under a rock--he got scared when he saw me.

i'm sure he did with you lunging and luging in your chair
5:05 pm
Haz1558

Scrabbler, don't forget that you're a children's doctor, you leave the psychiatrists to do their work.
5:05 pm
Haz1558

It makes sense, doesn't it?
5:05 pm
Uniquity

She'll be logging in that chair before long.
5:06 pm
Scrabbler

Hazel, you make so much sense.
5:06 pm
Haz1558

(Am I being soothing and non-threatening? Don't want to spook Scrabbler)
5:06 pm
wildcat17

keep talking haz ... we'll sneak up behind her and gently wrap her in the big comfy jacket
5:07 pm
Scrabbler

I love being under the trees watching all of the birds. Also the squirrels are always out-squirreling me and figuring out how to get the bird seed.
5:07 pm
Haz1558

So, just lie back, relax and soon those silly thoughts will go...
5:07 pm
Haz1558

Well done, wildcat. She's a worry, isn't she?
5:07 pm
Scrabbler

I hardly slept last night so the sleep deprivation is making me goofy.

Dane is capitalised and therefore not included.
5:12 pm

an older version I believe
5:12 pm
Uniquity

The dictionary is called Enable. This is an older version of it, although I don't know which.
5:12 pm
Scrabbler

Aha, I never considered using the q again.
5:12 pm

Ah.

Well done at the guessing! I have a younger brother who claims to not remember his password, so he makes a new account whenever he babbles and then taunts me in chat until I ID him. He comes off a bit like a troll though :(

i was trapped in a tunnel on the metro for a half hour yesterday evening, but that was actually before that happened. so of course, i was crotchety once i finally got out, then i heard all about the crash + spent the rest of the evening dumfounded.
worked from home today, as the trains were still running slow this morning.
found out my best friend had her 3rd baby this morning, then found out this evening about the 2 people i knew...
so it was a bit of a rollercoaster of a day...

I think I'll just ignore.

LOL, red, it does indeed. ON the ohther hand, I have reacquainted myself with a jr high friend, met some of her friends and have really had some fun
6:50 pm

isn't that the truth, Red
6:50 pm

very hard to explain though as I will maybe someday have to see cousin again.
6:51 pm
Krista

:) Pam
6:51 pm
pam

that's the sticky wicket, red
6:51 pm
Krista

I am usually honest to a fault, but this is what white lies are made for. Friend her, then unfriend her, then say you don't know what happened. No good can come out of telling the absolute truth in this situation.
6:52 pm
Krista

That sounds terrible, doesn't it?
6:52 pm
Anniebrook

No.
6:52 pm
redturtlehead

Yes, I sort of figured thats what I'd tell the Nurse manager. I think though I might just ignore.
6:52 pm
pam

no, krista.
6:53 pm
redturtlehead

It doesnt sound bad Krista. I mean, there are some people that come up again and again on my screen, and I figure I have come up again and again as a friend option...
6:53 pm
redturtlehead

And I just figure we arent that interested in each other.
6:54 pm
Krista

*whew* glad I didn't sound like total manipulator, there...i read an article about FB and "worlds colliding" and all the sticky wickets it brings up...
6:55 pm
redturtlehead

I know there is some way to set certain accounts to limited access- some teachers use it etc... but I cant figure it out, and I would LOVE to put my whole family on that.
6:55 pm

In some ways, it reminds me of this chog. The good aspects of FB and chog.
6:55 pm
pam

Oh, that would be appealing for some, red!!!
6:56 pm
Krista

my ex-husband'ss relatives are all on there...so is his fiance, who I like and we get along, but I don't want to step on her toes by being "friends" with the ex-inlaws..so I haven't friended them..oh yes, red..i didn't know about that
6:56 pm
redturtlehead

On another topic, is anyone watching "In Plain Sight"?
6:56 pm
gwenski

I have found FB to be a great way to stay in touch with family that are very scattered. Plus I've caught up with some HS friends. Fortunately haven't experienced the negatives yet.
6:57 pm
redturtlehead

I think the negative for me Gwen, is that there are people I dont want to come in contact with again...but they seem to want to contact me.
6:58 pm
Krista

Thanks for chat and clues..need to go...kids need me for something outside. Uh oh.
6:58 pm
