1:51 am

rbud

1:51 am

jillibus

1:52 am

TraderKate

they make it so complicated, don't they?

1:52 am

westford

mmm now lobster I know

1:52 am

rbud

hoping for at least a referral to a specialist if nothing else.

1:53 am

TraderKate

you'd think if they were busy, they wouldn't mind passing you on...

1:55 am

TraderKate

maybe go to yellow pages. find specialist. call. tell them you need dr. to get a referral. often work closely with other drs. in area/building

1:55 am

rbud

oh, now they're saying they don't want us after all, since we never came in for initial appointments...is it our fault we don't get sick much? :P (they never said we should back then, either!)

1:56 am

TraderKate

sounds like a load of hooey to me

1:56 am

rbud

I haven't given up, will try something else tomorrow, going in for an annual checkup with my women's health Dr., thank goodness she hasn't thrown me out yet.

1:56 am

westford

ask to speak directly to the doctor sometimes office staff think they're holier than thou

1:57 am

TraderKate

the worst they should do is try to bill you for a perceived missed app't

1:57 am

rbud

and I signed papers back then to have the kids' records sent to them, now they say they don't have them. sigh!

1:57 am

TraderKate

lucky to get dr. on phone...can't bill it?

1:58 am

TraderKate

must find records...go back to ped. dr.

1:58 am

rbud

yes, will get it sorted out. (hopefully!)

1:58 am

westford

I still go up to Westford for my mammograms

1:59 am

TraderKate

1:59 am

rbud

yes

1:59 am

TraderKate

so easy, yeyt so hard...............

ped. should still see him? prob. have his records still

2:01 am

TraderKate

ped. should still see him? prob. have his records still

2:17 am

rbud

little heathens who only want to curse and talk nonsense - pests.

2:18 am

jillibus

2:18 am

TraderKate

must have missed them. been in and out cooking

2:18 am

rbud

I believe this one seriously insulted Pini.

2:19 am

jillibus

so...if there was a troll maybe that's what he meant by doing his duty -- getting rid of it

2:19 am

TraderKate

You lot and your word finding. Bad for the eyes or the brain or something.

hi uni

6:21 am

FMitch

Uni!!!!

6:21 am

Haz1558

Hello Uni. It's not great for the beam end either.

6:22 am

FMitch

Ah so I can blame babble for my posterior then?

6:22 am

Uniquity

In living colour.

6:22 am

FMitch

Are you still away visiting Uni?

6:23 am

Haz1558

Absolutely. It's about to be written up in the Lancet as a worrying new phenomenon. Not your posterior in particular, you understand.

6:23 am

Uniquity

Oh yes. We are looking to take in a theme park today, but the weather looks not good. Ah well. We will survive!

6:23 am

FMitch

lol

6:24 am

Uniquity

I wonder if babble can be blamed for my posture as well? And/or posturing?

6:24 am

Wolvie

that's my excuse . ;-)

6:24 am

FMitch

Theme parks in the rain are not too bad as you will get wet on the rides anyway :)

6:24 am

Haz1558

What's the theme of the park? Something tells me that with small boys in tow it won't feature needlecases and their manufacture.

6:25 am

FMitch

Oh imagine a babble theme park!!

6:25 am

Uniquity

there is a cute little roller coaster and a water slide and a flume ride and things of that nature. It is an annual trip, always taken somewhere around my birthday

6:25 am

FMitch

sorry almost used a plethora of ! but managed to keep it to just the two.

6:25 am

Haz1558

Yes, FM, get your creative juices flowing!

6:26 am

Haz1558

That sounds on the exciting part of civilised, Uni.

6:27 am

Scrabbler

Hello all! FM, I love your Babble PB pic!

6:27 am

Wolvie

hi scrabbler

6:27 am

Haz1558

Good morning Scrabbler.

6:27 am

FMitch

Only ever done 1 roller coaster, the one at Blackpool when I was a child. Wouldn't get me on one now unless I were to get a HUGE amount of money for doing it.

6:27 am

Uniquity

Indeed, civilized. I suppose it is not so much a theme park as an amusement park. I used to think such words were interchangable.

6:28 am

FMitch

Hi Scrabs - have you only just seen them?

6:28 am

Haz1558

The theme part would have to contain some suitable punishment for trolls.

6:28 am

Uniquity

I still enjoy roller coasters, althoguh I don't know for how much longer.

6:28 am

Wolvie

I just now looked at them myself FM - very cool

6:29 am

Scrabbler

On Sunday someone told me and I think I was given a link. Nice of you to put Hazel next to my fiance, George, just to make Hazel feel better and to keep the paparazzi away from me and George.

6:29 am

FMitch

As a a child and teen one does things fearlessly but as you get older mortality kicks in

6:30 am

Haz1558

(Mentally patting Scrabbler on the head and mumuring soothing noises)

6:30 am

herinfernallady

HI Scrabler

6:30 am

FMitch

LOL Scrabs
I put them together a couple of years ago now. HAve so many ideas for new versions but just no time to indulge right now.

6:30 am

Scrabbler

*telling George that Hazel is delusional again*

6:30 am

Uniquity

Women in particular seem to have some physical change in their 20s/30s which makes them ill on rides. This is sped up by having children, it seems. I know no (biological) mothers who can do/like rides.

6:31 am

Lizsark

hello everyone

6:31 am

Uniquity

Perhaps you should consider polygamy? or an exchange program? Haz has george every other Sunday and Weds through fri and Scrabs gets him the rest of the time? Hello Liz!

6:31 am

Haz1558

Uni, I recall going on a very simple fairground ride with older daughter when I was pregnant with younger. I had to signal to get me off within about 15 seconds.

6:31 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Uni, I did not have motion sickness as a kid but I did when older and now in the last few years I am ok again. Even just 5-6 yrs ago I puked on plane rides and I was ok with flying in April.

6:31 am

FMitch

Well, hello Liz!

6:31 am

Haz1558

Hello Liz!

6:31 am

Scrabbler

Hi Liz of Sark!

6:32 am

Wolvie

hi Liz

6:32 am

Lizsark

:) what a warm welcome :)

6:32 am

Uniquity

We've spotted a rare bird.

6:32 am

Scrabbler

How is life on the Island of Sark?

6:33 am

Lizsark

Lifes good thanks Scrabbler :) And with all of you I hope?

6:33 am

FMitch

May I remind you Haz and Scrabs that t'was I who had GC first and I lent him to Haz for a couple of weeks just to cheer her up and never saw him again.

6:33 am

Scrabbler

All is good when we are in Babble Land!

6:33 am

Wolvie

much to generous FM. ;-)

6:33 am

Lizsark

LOL Uni...by the way...reading down the chog....I've always hated theme park rides but when we were just in Spain I went on loads of them and had a ball!

6:33 am

Scrabbler

GC mentioned you, FM.

6:34 am

Scrabbler

Rats, I have to get ready for work. Waaaaahhhh. Bye all. Enjoy the day.

6:34 am

FMitch

I know Wolvie, but glad to see he hasn't forgotten me.

6:34 am

herinfernallady

Lizie

6:34 am

Uniquity

Aha! Liz, you are putting holes in my theory. Now I will have to delete the chat so the opposition never occurred.

6:34 am

FMitch

awe bye Scrabs.

6:34 am

Lizsark

Herin! Hello!

6:34 am

Haz1558

Bye Scrabbler. Keep taking the tablets, you know it's for the best.

6:35 am

Lizsark

LOL Uni, sorry! And I have two kids :)

6:35 am

Uniquity

Scrabs is away? Au revoir!

6:35 am

Haz1558

No, Uni, there's always an exception that proves the rule, and let's face it, Liz is pretty exceptional.

6:35 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Hazel, my dose was increased, and with no apparent side effects either. I will keep smiling.

6:35 am

Wolvie

bye scrabb

6:36 am

Haz1558

Good for you, Scrabbler!

6:36 am

They were here in the spring. More ant traps are in order. What can I say. I have such alluring pheremones.

8:15 am

crosshair

i use pet proof ant baits.they have some peanut butter mixed with ant poison that they take and carry back to the colony

8:15 am

jacq

the ants must be getting ready to create a new nest they swarm here before they do that

8:15 am

8:17 am

crosshair

as any sf book lover should agree

8:17 am

jacq

heay Wolvie

8:17 am

Wolvie

any clues before I head out?

8:18 am

redturtlehead

News says that they have actually ruled Michael jacksons death a Homicide... wow.

8:18 am

Judi

Yuck. Boiled fish.

8:18 am

jacq

have just started Wolvie, but thanks anyway

8:18 am

crosshair

ahh do we have the final verdick on jacksons death?

8:18 am

Haz1558

I think his doctor had better start consulting lawyers.

8:18 am

crosshair

verdict even

8:19 am

redturtlehead

they say Propofol and a combo of other drugs.

8:19 am

Wolvie

okey doke - I will see everyone tomorrow!

8:19 am

crosshair

tc wolvie

8:19 am

Haz1558

Bye Wolvie, have a good day.

8:19 am

jacq

bye wolvie

8:19 am

redturtlehead

Bye Wolvie, have a great day!

8:20 am

Boobear

clue for ma 6/24

8:20 am

crosshair

ahh did a jim morrison eh?

8:20 am

Judi

He's been lawyered up for quite some time, Haz. The guy is screwed. I think he shoudl have just referred ol Jacko to a sleep clinic and had done with it.

8:21 am

Haz1558

He certainly seems to have been unwise in his prescriptions. I'm using understatement font.

8:21 am

redturtlehead

It's a bit bizarre that anyone would think that was an appropriate use of that medication! and theres no real way that Jackson could have administered it to himself....

8:22 am

Haz1558

ma6/24 - a male, not he, not she but ** , wrap up with a vowel

8:22 am

crosshair

rule #38 in the celebrety overdoing it hand book: "always sleep on your stomach whith your head hanging over the side of the bed"

8:22 am

Boobear

I think lots of the doctors are going to get hung out to dry

8:22 am

redturtlehead

TY Haz, I foudn that!

8:23 am

herinfernallady

Crossie you are a bad bad man.

8:23 am

redturtlehead

Hi Boo

8:23 am

Haz1558

Glad it worked, red.

8:23 am

Judi

True, red. He just kept throwing money at doctors until one agreed to use sedatives. Drug addicts will get their fixes by any means necessary.

8:23 am

Boobear

hi red

8:23 am

crosshair

i am indeed naughty herin

8:24 am

herinfernallady

I think i just found a video website that solved the grumpy gusses

8:24 am

Boobear

Haz I don't understand your clue

8:24 am

redturtlehead

I hate to say it, but I am glad that the case is a bit high profile, because it does highlight the problems with prescriptions etc, and irresponsible use of medicine...

8:24 am

Judi

Oops. I just realized I should be sitting in the PB. For use of a bug word.

8:24 am

Haz1558

When you think about it, by the time he was dead, Michael Jackson was a prime example of the abuse of medicine and surgery.

8:25 am

crosshair

enough money can bypass any set of rules that get laid down

8:25 am

Haz1558

Boo - try, ma, a baby louse, a vowel at the end.

8:26 am

EvaNadine

8:26 am

8:27 am

herinfernallady

Seriously I read that as ''enough money paid down can get you laid

8:28 am

jacq

8:28 am

redturtlehead

Hi eva. and herin this is probably also true.

8:28 am

herinfernallady

8:28 am

crosshair

ive seen big shots at our local airport get out of the car,go through a small gate,right onto the 12 seat executive jet and they are off in 10 minutes to the states,no customs or line ups.soo i imagine money can also by a blank rx pad with a person to fill them

8:28 am

Judi

lolololo. Actually, knowing Crossy, that's probably what he really meant.

8:28 am

crosshair

lol herin that as well

8:28 am

redturtlehead

Oh yes, Haz, MJ and the surgeries were really scary....

8:29 am

crosshair

8:43 am

Judi

"Tudor" is not accepted. Hmmph.

8:43 am

Haz1558

No, a letter can only be used once in each word.

8:43 am

Dorens

if you mean twice, afflamed, then no you cannot

8:43 am

Judi

That would be correct, afflamed. And welcome!

afflamed

in WOW its impossible to endgame, which is nice, theres always more to do

8:54 am

redturtlehead

I almost didnt Nono! partly because I worked.

8:54 am

Judi

I agree, Nono. It took me about 18 minutes to finish that. Irritating really.

8:54 am

crosshair

lol afflamed,wife has played it three times through,this is my first(couldnt get it away from her)

8:55 am

NonoNanette

yes Judi, I was all set for a nice sit down at the puter and it only took me about 15 minutes give or take a couple and it was done, leaving me no excuse for not getting some work done

Dorens

oh i get a flu shot every year.... the flu is a far worse alternative

9:01 am

redturtlehead

I admit, i never get the flu shot.

9:01 am

redturtlehead

Plus it appears that I had the swine flu back in june.

9:01 am

crosshair

bad red,bad

9:01 am

NonoNanette

ok will have to arrange it with my doctor then

9:02 am

NonoNanette

oh my red

9:02 am

redturtlehead

Well, I wash my hands and have rarely gotten the flu.

9:02 am

Dorens

wow, did you really red?

9:02 am

Aloyisius

ooh, not good, red.. how long did it last?

9:02 am

redturtlehead

The swine flu itself is not that bad, but if you have problems like asthma, COPD, its bad.

9:02 am

afflamed

I had mono for 16 months 4 years ago - ugh the worst but Ive been good ever since. For some reason teh flu shot made my antibodies take a year off.

9:02 am

crosshair

spend one winter laying on your back breathing through a straw and you get enlightenment in a hurry

9:02 am

redturtlehead

ABout 6 days, the hoopla about the flu is amazing. Its actually milder than the regular flu.

9:03 am

Dorens

but red, it has killed... you had a mild case and that is good, but it has killed children

9:03 am

afflamed

dang it work requires me to get ready - Nice to meet u all and Im sure Ill be back....

9:04 am

redturtlehead

Yes, as does the regular flu each year.

9:04 am

NonoNanette

bye bye afflamed have a good day and come back soon

9:04 am

redturtlehead

People forget the regular flu kills children and adults each year.

9:04 am

Dorens

i agree the media overblows these things... sensationalism is rampant in the news

9:04 am

NonoNanette

i think a lot of the hoopla about swine flu is because it appeared in a non traditional season for flu

9:04 am

Aloyisius

phantom: dimwit

9:05 am

crosshair

actually on your stomach while someone pounds yer sides to loosen the mucus:( lol well we have dextromethorapan(sp) for that now lol

9:05 am

redturtlehead

But I also wear a special respirator mask any time I now come into contact with patients with the flu.

9:06 am

redturtlehead

I had a patient come into the er the other day with obvious flu/cold symptoms and he thought he could just not wear a mask, well...he found out differently.

9:06 am

Boobear

clue for mi 9 pls

9:06 am

redturtlehead

in the midst of the colder season.

9:07 am

crosshair

lol red,when i was ill ,i was the one to mask up to protect me from everyone else lol

9:07 am

Aloyisius

Twist Shakespeare's "A Mi*Summer's Night Dream"

9:07 am

crosshair

crossy hates those masks;(

9:07 am

Judi

LOL . *imagines red clamping a mask on an unwilling patient* Cootie Patrol!

9:07 am

redturtlehead

Cross, with your Cancer hx I imagine you were neutropenic.

9:07 am

crosshair

indeed red,

9:08 am

Aloyisius

yup, Mask On.. or git out

9:08 am

crosshair

good clue aloy:)

9:08 am

redturtlehead

Yes, I think the pt was very selfish. Most of the time once we point out that they feel bad, dont want others to feel so bad, they pop it on....but this guy...

9:09 am

redturtlehead

I dont really mind the mask, but I am probably one of the few, all the staff are complaining.

9:09 am

crosshair

red,you hear bout that dr in the states who refuses to treat smokers unless they quit? cant recall the name...

9:10 am

redturtlehead

I didnt...and that seems a bit unrealistic. Hard to really tell if a person has quit or not.

9:10 am

crosshair

can agree or disagree,though it must be agrivating as hell treating a patient for lung ailments for 2 years and watching them light up when they get back to thier car

9:11 am

redturtlehead

I think for some people once they find they have Lung Ca, they just decide not to bother to quit, I mean, they think, "what worse can happen?"

9:12 am

crosshair

i see it at the princess magrett lodge all the time here

9:12 am

Dorens

my dad's doctor told hiim it just didn't matter much when he was diagnosed with endstage lung ca. he certainly didn't smoke much then tho

9:12 am

redturtlehead

I think Dorens that your dads doc was correct, at the end there, I mean, really? What worse can happen....

9:13 am

redturtlehead

But with EMphysema, its possible to slightly improve lung function by quitting.

9:13 am

Dorens

oh absolutely, red

9:13 am

crosshair

if your to the point of pallative care,then yes i can agree

9:13 am

Dorens

i can't understand how one can smoke with emphysema

9:14 am

redturtlehead

It is a very strong addiction, and I think its pretty hard to break....

9:14 am

Dorens

well. halfway and nbt.. i either list or go do something productive... much to do today

9:14 am

redturtlehead

Alright, I need to take a small nap, Will be back for 89 more words. Have a happy daya ll.

9:15 am

10:29 am

Atalante

My granddaughter lives with me...she has a blankie that is crocheted. She puts it over her head, and walks around, looking like a little ghost! Too cute- she is going to be 2 the 7th

10:36 am

hurshy

speaking of Great, i have been calling the cats "Marty the Great" etc. and i said something to husband about a list of Greats - Peter, Catherine, Sheila...

10:36 am

Atalante

awwwwww

10:36 am

hurshy

and he was like, "Sheila?????"

10:37 am

hurshy

i guess he was never a preteen girl.

10:37 am

Vicuna

I'm like "Sheila???' too.

10:37 am

hurshy

vi, i was counting on you!

10:37 am

jaianniah

me, too

10:37 am

Vicuna

ANd I even was a preteen girl once.

10:37 am

hurshy

did none of you read judy blume???

10:37 am

Vicuna

Thought not a very good one, when it came to pop culture.

10:37 am

jmcnrick

sheila??

10:38 am

Vicuna

Ahhh, that explains it. Couldn't stand Judy Blume! lol

10:38 am

Atalante

nope!

10:38 am

jmcnrick

Judy Blume was way to recent for me

10:38 am

jaianniah

My prude of a mother would not allow her books in our house....

10:38 am

jmcnrick

and I had a son so no never read much

10:38 am

hurshy

well, one of her books is "Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great".

10:38 am

Atalante

she was pretty much banned over here!

10:38 am

jmcnrick

hi all

10:38 am

Vicuna

Ah yes, I recognize the title.

10:38 am

jaianniah

Hi, jm

10:38 am

jmcnrick

banned???

10:39 am

Vicuna

Banned? It was practically the opposite over here. She was SO in.

10:39 am

jaianniah

banned.

10:39 am

Atalante

well, not officially banned! but generally considered inappropriate

10:39 am

Dorens

hmmmm

10:39 am

jaianniah

God forbid, I should read a book that talked about getting your period....

10:39 am

jmcnrick

oh really lol!

10:40 am

Dorens

trying to figure out how inappropriate she could be

10:40 am

Vicuna

Nobody minded if we read books about periods, but I thought why on earth would I want to?

10:40 am

jaianniah

What is so funny is that when I was NOT around her, I talked like a sailor and cracked people up

10:40 am

Atalante

but I was at the start of her popularity, so everyone was just shocked at the content lol

10:40 am

jmcnrick

what little I read I didn't like that much but never seemed bad enough to censor

10:40 am

Vicuna

Can't think of anything less interesting!

10:40 am

hurshy

but sheila and the turtle books and stuff didn't have that sort of stuff in them anyway.

10:41 am

Dorens

don't think that was the main thrust of the book, vi, just happened to happen

10:41 am

jaianniah

No, but my mother was not a real reader...reading to her was tackling "Good Housekeeping"

10:41 am

jmcnrick

I was stuck with my son reading these really boring sport books that were all exactly the same

10:42 am

Dorens

boys sports books are boring, but scifi was what my boys liked most

10:42 am

jmcnrick

but I read better books to him -- Once and Future King, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, The Three Muskateers

10:42 am

Vicuna

Well, in my opinion, all these "real kids with real issues" books are all exactly the same, too! lol

10:43 am

jmcnrick

I am with you vic

10:43 am

jaianniah

I met my husband -to-be in 8th grade, and he introduced me to Robert Heinlein and Asimov and all those great ones... my mother didn't mind those for some reason

10:43 am

Atalante

I just lived on Ursula le Guin and Tolkien and stuff like that

10:43 am

JenMO16

hey everyone

10:43 am

jaianniah

Hey, Jen

10:43 am

Dorens

these days, it seems, anything that will get these kids out from the video games and reading the written word is considered a godsend

10:43 am

Vicuna

Yeah, I was fantasy through and through when I had my choice.

10:44 am

jmcnrick

I got tired of Sci Fi in the 9th grade. Assimov was good but Robert Heinlein always read like a teenage boy's wet dream

10:44 am

Vicuna

Hello, JenMO.

10:44 am

hurshy

i liked the babysitters' club :)

10:44 am

jmcnrick

hi Jen

10:44 am

jaianniah

You got that right! I mean- making love to your daughter????

10:44 am

movieman

On the subject of books, I managed to read all seven Harry Potters in less than two weeks!!!!

10:44 am

hurshy

and sweet valley

10:44 am

hurshy

and nancy drew

10:44 am

Atalante

Alan Garner *bliss*

10:45 am

jmcnrick

Not to mention Stranger in a Strange Land where the leader screwed all the adoring women and knocked them up

10:45 am

Vicuna

But I couldn't help laughing and rolling my eyes (strictly internally, mind you) when my daughter's teacher recommended she read Junie B. Jones instead of fairy books, because it's more real...

10:45 am

jaianniah

My Favorite books were horse books, especially "The Black Stallion"- I had that one memorized!

10:45 am

Vicuna

When we got home I explained to my kids that Junie B. Jones is just as much fantasy as "Fairy Chronicles."

10:45 am

hurshy

teachers have no business recommending INSTEAD OF reading!!!!

10:45 am

jmcnrick

ooo all the Horsey books were good

10:46 am

Atalante

you must read Alan Garner books to the ToG in a few years, Vi

10:46 am

jaianniah

Oh, yeah- and pretending that your bike was a Palimino with all the trimmings....

10:46 am

jaianniah

sp.

10:46 am

Vicuna

Never read Alan Garner, Ata. I'll check it out.

10:46 am

jmcnrick

I loved reading aloud to my son -- we would read the book -- like To Kill a Mocking Bird -- and then watch the movie and talk about how they were different

10:47 am

Vicuna

I love reading aloud, too.

10:47 am

jmcnrick

But the best was Once and Future King --- the best book I have ever read I think

10:47 am

Atalante

*fa6* you really must. for yourself and the kids. Elidor, Weirdstone of Brisingamen, Moon of Gomrath etc. They are another attempt at English mythology, and he manages it better than Tolkien

10:48 am

jaianniah

My daughter HATES the movies they make from books...

10:48 am

Vicuna

Sounds intriguing.

10:48 am

Vicuna

*throws water at Ata's face*

10:49 am

Atalante

I'm on a crusade to bring Alan Garner to Americans!

10:49 am

jaianniah

I just love Babble chat! You never know...you just never know!

10:49 am

jmcnrick

it is TH White and the basis for Sword in the Stone among other things

10:49 am

movieman

On the subject of books, I managed to read all seven Harry Potters in less than two weeks!!!!

10:49 am

jmcnrick

vic why are you throwing water at Ata?

10:49 am

Vicuna

Did you enjoy them, movieman?

10:49 am

Atalante

cos she's mean

10:49 am

Vicuna

Because I made her fa5, jmc!

10:49 am

jmcnrick

they are very readable mm

10:50 am

jaianniah

MM, that was a feat I could not do...

10:50 am

movieman

Certainly did, vic

10:50 am

Vicuna

Good! =)

10:50 am

jmcnrick

you guys!

10:50 am

Atalante

(or not)

10:50 am

movieman

I'll probably read them again in a month or so

10:50 am

movieman

I ordered the boxset from Amazon for £35

10:51 am

Dorens

gee, i wish i could read that quickly... so many books to read, so little time (thanks to babble?)

10:51 am

jmcnrick

seems like if you made her fa5 you should throw the water in her face

10:51 am

Vicuna

I thought I did!

10:51 am

jmcnrick

I finally finished Potter -- they are my airplane reading material

10:51 am

jaianniah

I remember a "For Better or Worse" comic one day...Grandpa had come to saty, and was sleeping in the little girl's room...the last frame showed him in her bed, reading Harry potter and plugged into headphones, while the daughter of the house slept in the basement!

10:51 am

ch1212

Morning all. Movieman, it's time for me to re-read them all again too. Wonderful, rich writing!

10:51 am

Vicuna

Ata, I threw water on your face, didn't I?

10:52 am

jmcnrick

I thought ata made you vic fa5? I am confused as usual

10:52 am

jmcnrick

hi ch1212

10:52 am

movieman

Although on occasions I did stay up until 3 or 4 in the morning reading them

10:52 am

Atalante

yep *wipes face*

10:52 am

Vicuna

lol, jmc! Well, everyone just put on goggles and jump in the water, and it won't matter any more.

2:35 pm

torgone

Bleh .. meetings ..

2:35 pm

Dorens

2:35 pm

Dorens

2:35 pm

sprite

2:36 pm

sprite

oh wow I love the mi biggie!

2:36 pm

torgone

Seriously ..

2:36 pm

KatieMcG

shudders remembering today's meeting

2:36 pm

Pinikula

Just coming back from 3-week vacation and wishing I could retire...the break was great!

2:37 pm

sprite

I am serious. Meetings should be abolished. Forever.

2:37 pm

Pinikula

I agree, sprite!

2:37 pm

Pinikula

Especially when they're with really stupid people!

2:37 pm

jmcnrick

I would rather be at a meeting at this point *looks at stacks of veggies to freeze*

2:37 pm

KatieMcG

3 hour meeting today, will to live lost at 22 mins

2:38 pm

Pinikula

2:38 pm

Pinikula

ROFL Katie...recover soon!!! :) * poof *

2:38 pm

sprite

bye Pinik

2:38 pm

sprite

Meetings longer than 30 minutes are craziness

2:39 pm

KatieMcG

this one is a weekly meeting so I lose at least half a day a week to it

2:39 pm

Soodlebum

Good evening all

2:39 pm

sprite

hiya Soodle!

2:39 pm

KatieMcG

evening soodle

2:40 pm

Soodlebum

Hi Katie, Sprite, Pini, JMC, Dorens, et al

2:41 pm

KatieMcG

I want druid (stamps foot)

2:41 pm

sprite

meetings are get-togethers where people feel compelled to pee against the same post again and again and again.

2:41 pm

sprite

*is with Katie on that*

2:41 pm

jmcnrick

poor kaite that's too long for a meeting

2:41 pm

jmcnrick

hi soodle

2:42 pm

KatieMcG

the week before last was 4 1/2 hours so it's getting better!

2:43 pm

sprite

less terrible maybe, but not better :)

2:43 pm

Atalante

hi all!

2:44 pm

sprite

hi Ata

2:44 pm

jmcnrick

ach! why are your meetings so long??

2:44 pm

KatieMcG

{{{{{{{ATA}}}}}}}} did you have a good time away?

2:44 pm

jmcnrick

hi ata

2:44 pm

Atalante

wonderful, yes!

2:45 pm

KatieMcG

we have 32 projects to go through and feel the need to discuss every one of them, we also need to find out about policy decisions. As we get them approved and signed up it should be shorter, lets hope so

2:45 pm

KatieMcG

it's nice to have you back

2:46 pm

Atalante

for a while *she says darkly*

2:46 pm

jmcnrick

gosh I hope so --- you have to discuss each one every time? you couldn't like group them?

2:46 pm

jmcnrick

that is the second time today you have suggested you are going away again ata --- what's up?

2:46 pm

KatieMcG

unfortunately not at this stage, some issues are a repeat so we get quicker as we go through it

2:47 pm

Dorens

ata? dark?

2:47 pm

Dorens

j your turn. yours too ata

2:47 pm

KatieMcG

I think a 2 hour walk is just creeping to your dog lol

2:47 pm

Atalante

husband telling me to leave *his* house cos I ate a pack of oatmeal and raisin cookies yesterday. divorce looms!

2:48 pm

KatieMcG

oh and people took you so seriously on facebook!

2:48 pm

jmcnrick

lol!

2:48 pm

sprite

lol and I thought that after the phantom phleas he couldn't get any more childish

2:48 pm

Atalante

its true though!

2:48 pm

jmcnrick

what I just took my turn!

2:49 pm

Dorens

go again

2:49 pm

Atalante

apparently I spend all his money recklessly, and he can't deal with sustaining my "lifestyle"

2:49 pm

Dorens

cookies?

2:49 pm

jmcnrick

there dorens :-P

2:49 pm

sprite

of course not. Oatmeal and raisin cookies... extravagant!

2:49 pm

Atalante

exactly, sprite!

2:49 pm

jmcnrick

cookies as a lifestyle?

2:50 pm

KatieMcG

hmmmmm have you tried "half of everything" on him for size and see how his "lifestyle" changes!!

2:50 pm

jmcnrick

*imagining cookie bars where people lie on sofas indulging in cooies--haze covers their shame*

2:50 pm

Atalante

cookies are deeply significant lol

2:51 pm

sprite

those cookies are a symbol here. Come to the dark side... you know why!

2:52 pm

Atalante

absolutely!

2:52 pm

jmcnrick

huh?

2:52 pm

KatieMcG

*rushes off to clear house of all cookies, significance like that I could do without*

2:52 pm

jmcnrick

dark chocolate?

2:53 pm

Atalante

so he told me to leave the house last night cos he couldnt deal with me. I ignored him

2:53 pm

jmcnrick

that was the proper response

2:53 pm

Soodlebum

'Thinking - husband/cookies....cookies/husband....
.' ???? Hmm I know which I would pick - any day!!

2:53 pm

KatieMcG

hand him his car keys next time he says it, honestly mid life crisis?

2:53 pm

sprite

lol so you should. Since when is it HIS house?
Perhaps you can tell him there are cookies outside the house?

2:54 pm

jmcnrick

since I don't eat sugar I guess I would be stuck with the hubby

2:54 pm

sprite

lol Soodle!

2:54 pm

Dorens

oatmeal raisin cookies are worth it, though. were they good?

2:54 pm

KatieMcG

I'll keep my hubby over cookies but that is only because he maintains my "lifestyle"

2:54 pm

jmcnrick

obviously he has something else on his mind -- I hope it clears up

2:55 pm

Dorens

your turn j

2:55 pm

jmcnrick

:-P

2:55 pm

sprite

I picked the sw5est hubby in the world, so I wouldn't pick the cookies. But luckily I can have both!

2:55 pm

Dorens

and if they were homemade, and fresh baked......

2:55 pm

KatieMcG

now Doren don't make me waiver on my choice lol

2:56 pm

KatieMcG

seriously Ata you OK?

2:56 pm

sprite

fireflies btw. Ata, if you ever need a place to stay for a bit, just call and I will send my love to canoe you and yours to our place.

2:56 pm

Atalante

they were *really* good, and so necessary cos I'd been on a long walk with the dog and got lost in the woods, it was just a tiny bit creept. needed sugar!

2:56 pm

Atalante

awwww thank you dear

2:56 pm

Atalante

*creepy

2:56 pm

KatieMcG

congrats sprite

2:56 pm

Soodlebum

Ata - I am very familiar with the Male Mid-life Crisis. My ex had a pretty spectacular mid-life crisis. they can go pretty bonkers!

2:56 pm

Soodlebum

Way to go spritey!!

2:57 pm

jmcnrick

whoo hoo sprite

2:57 pm

Atalante

what was freaky it that he'd either gone through the rubbish bin to see what I'd bought or got through every item on my tesco receipt

2:57 pm

sprite

and "ex" being the key word here, lol

2:57 pm

Atalante

and absolutely - I'm not leaving, he can if he's having an angst fit. I have animals to look after!

2:57 pm

Soodlebum

Yikes. Ata! How old is he?

2:57 pm

KatieMcG

hang on a minute they weren't even his cookies, seriously I wouldn't have controlled myself

2:58 pm

jmcnrick

oo ata I am sorry -- we are joking and he has obviously turned this into a real thing

2:58 pm

Atalante

36

2:58 pm

Atalante

I didnt. I really yelled at him. Which I hate doing, but I just couldn't take that

2:58 pm

sprite

it is as silly as the fleas, Ata. Let him find a nice little apartment, sterile and white and free of living things and filled up with cookies.

2:58 pm

Dorens

he has a problem, ata?

2:58 pm

jmcnrick

give him a hug and ask him what is worrying him

2:58 pm

Soodlebum

And is this behaviour out of character for him?

2:59 pm

jmcnrick

tell him something he did this week that you appreciated

2:59 pm

sprite

he has no problem. He IS a problem.

2:59 pm

Dorens

36 is too young for midlife these days

2:59 pm

Atalante

no, he's been being an idiot for about 2 years now. Sprite knows! this is just the last straw, and I'm not putting up with it!

2:59 pm

KatieMcG

now I don't want you to get paranoid but my ex turned funny at the same age, lost loads of weight, criticised me for not and generally everything I did was wrong.

2:59 pm

Aimsly

36 IS midlife for some people who only live to their 70s

2:59 pm

Atalante

and jmc - it *is* funny - it's just stupid and silly - just real as well

2:59 pm

jmcnrick

this is too sad

3:00 pm

sprite

wtg Ata! Chin up and spine strong, and stay proud of yourself. He is acting like a silly, petulant kid.

3:00 pm

Atalante

sounds very familiar, katie. I even got a lecture on not sticking to weight watchers yesterday with the cookies! me: yeah, I know. I'm not worried. deal!

3:00 pm

jmcnrick

well it is funny I agree (let me tell you brain tumor jokes sometime) but I want to be supportive of you too

3:00 pm

Soodlebum

Ata! Life is short. Too short to put up with that sort of gob-shitery. You know yourself - you deserve better than than. I don't need to tell you than.

3:01 pm

KatieMcG

we once had a blazing row because I had burnt his dinner and I had to point out that I had been cooking his dinner for 10 years and only burnt it once.....he learnt to cook.......he burnt it a lot more often lol

3:01 pm

Dorens

doesn't sound good, does it ata? and speaking of midlife crises, my ex turned 40 and then that was it....moped around in a dark mood for five months and then told me we were getting divorced. no ifs ands of buts

3:01 pm

Dorens

does he have redeeming qualities, ata?

3:01 pm

jmcnrick

my husband and I got through some rocky times by making sure we told each other something each day that the other had done that we liked -- sometimes it was really really hard to think of something

3:01 pm

Atalante

exactly. to be honest, he;s just given me an excuse to tell him where to go. he's been a nightmare for too long, and I'm too nice generally

3:01 pm

Atalante

right now? none! well. um. he fixes my html coding for me ...

3:02 pm

KatieMcG

I didn't realise how bad things were until I was out, good on you for knowing.

3:02 pm

Dorens

does that offset him berating you for eating cookies?

3:02 pm

KatieMcG

You can pay someone to fix your coding

3:02 pm

jmcnrick

it is not a question of offset. things are not tit for tat.

3:03 pm

jmcnrick

sorry I am clearly out of sync with everyone else

3:03 pm

sprite

it is a great technique, jmc, but it might be too late for that? It is not a recent thing, as Ata said already.

3:03 pm

jmcnrick

I will come back later.

3:03 pm

jmcnrick

we were very close to divorce sprite

3:03 pm

Atalante

no it doesn't! and actually I feel almost calm now because he has set my path for me. I'm not dealing with feeling guilty about eating a cookie for goodness sake! Sometimes the little things just kill you

3:03 pm

Atalante

stay jmc!

3:03 pm

sprite

bye jmc *hug*

3:03 pm

KatieMcG

My counsellor asked me what I would miss when ex & I split (I'd taken it badly) and when I did the list there wasn't one thing that was specific to him rather than just someone in your life

3:04 pm

jmcnrick

if you want ata but I argue for the effort even after two years of nonsense

3:04 pm

KatieMcG

jmc your opinion would be valued, a different experience is always worthwhile

3:04 pm

Atalante

I'd love to be able to do something like jmc said. About 4 days out of 7 I don't even *see* husband though. I totally don't know him anymore

3:04 pm

sprite

if both partners would participate, it might do a lot of good, jmc.

3:05 pm

Dorens

have you ever had counsleing?

3:05 pm

jmcnrick

we joined a couples support group

3:05 pm

jmcnrick

we started the process ourselves of appreciating each other each evening.

3:06 pm

sprite

but it really takes two who will put in loads of effort, or it will not work.

3:06 pm

jmcnrick

we would do three things: I appreciated you today for. .

3:06 pm

Soodlebum

Same here Katie. I found that it was the fear of being on my own which kept me with a control-freak. When matters were taken out of my hands (he just ran away) I found that life was in fact better. Our standard of living went down, but quality of life soared.

3:06 pm

jmcnrick

THe best thing that happened to day was. ..

3:06 pm

Dorens

although listening to you today, it seems like it might be late for that, sounds like you have little to appreciate right now

3:06 pm

jmcnrick

My gift to you today was. ...

3:06 pm

Atalante

I *want* to argue for the effort, but when I know the effort will be worse for me than saying "enough" ... that makes no sense, I think, but I have very bad depression stuff and bipolar depression and another year of this will send that screwy as hell, I can feel it, adn I'm not prepared to live through that for any man!

3:06 pm

sprite

that is pretty intensive, jmc! Good for you both.

3:06 pm

Dorens

oh that fear of being alone..... haunted me. and now, even tho i have a terrific man in my life, I seem to need my alone time and space, I really have grown to like it

3:06 pm

Atalante

*is making a note of jmc's words*

3:07 pm

jmcnrick

we found that by concentrating on the positive on both sides we got over the rocky parts better.

3:07 pm

jmcnrick

even though some times we would say "Appreciate me, G*d D**n it, and it better be good" lol

3:07 pm

Dorens

if you can find positive, then it is certainly a good thing... it is certainly worth trying

3:07 pm

KatieMcG

my ex told me he would never marry me as I was too fat to be his bride, it all ended there and then

3:08 pm

sprite

roflol, if you can laugh together like that, you are almost halfway already :)

3:08 pm

Atalante

OUCH

3:08 pm

jmcnrick

the primary reason people break up is because of lack of communication and not really looking for the positive

3:08 pm

jmcnrick

You should break up with him katie! ouch

3:08 pm

sprite

that man wasn't worth a nanogram of your love, time or energy, Katie!

3:08 pm

jmcnrick

any way I know I sound like little mary sunshine here

3:08 pm

Atalante

I had my hair done a few weeks ago, and he just looked at the result in utter disgust and said it looked awful, he hated it, and wasted his money *facepalm*

3:09 pm

Atalante

and thank goodness you do, jmc!

3:09 pm

sprite

jmc, please, you don't at all. It is great input.

3:09 pm

Atalante

(and check out my new pic for a joyful thing!)

3:09 pm

jmcnrick

but when my husband went deaf we were blessed because we were forced to communicate intentionaly

3:09 pm

Atalante

wow, yes, I can see that

3:09 pm

jmcnrick

great photo ata!

3:10 pm

Atalante

that was this morning :)

3:10 pm

Soodlebum

Ah!! A deaf husband. Now thats something to envy!!!

3:10 pm

sprite

great pic, Ata, I really don't understand what his problem was with they way your hair looks there

3:10 pm

jmcnrick

and the gift thing was really important because it is easy not to see when someone is being nice to you.

3:11 pm

Atalante

it didnt' conform to his standard of what I should look like

3:11 pm

jmcnrick

my husband always brought me tea with honey and lemon when I was sick and I HATE tea with lemon and honey

3:11 pm

Atalante

but he *thought* of you

3:11 pm

sprite

I am not sure I'd call it a blessing, jmc, but you seem to have managed to handle it positively

3:12 pm

sprite

I bet it were the fluffy black ears he didn't like ;)

3:12 pm

jmcnrick

yes but I could have thought--we;ve been together x years you'd think he'd know by now I hate honey in my tea!

3:12 pm

Soodlebum

Ata. Look at the chog. Rooting through rubbish bins? Examining your Tesco receipts? telling you your new hairdo is horrible? The man is a waste of time and space

3:13 pm

Atalante

I know - it's just got to a stupid state now. Of course today he's all "I'm sorry I didn't mean it". But this time, I'm not accepting it

3:13 pm

jmcnrick

why not ata? maybe he is concerned about your health?

3:14 pm

KatieMcG

to back up the other side I have really close friends who nearly split at the same time as us, they had talked about who moved out and where to etc. To give the ex credit he phone up the one who was going to leave and told them that they could be making the worst decision of their lives and to at least talk, he was in tears when he told her. 4 years on they are great together and show that it can be worked through

3:14 pm

Atalante

because ... he's chosen to go out tonight rather than come home and talk about it. among other reasons!

3:14 pm

Dorens

you have tough decisions to make ssorry i was gone, i just had someone come to luck at my crumbling chimney flues

3:15 pm

Atalante

and because I was almost scared of him last night, and I refuse to allow myself to get into that situation

3:15 pm

jmcnrick

maybe he's embarrassed

3:15 pm

sprite

it is not like you haven't done about everything to get through this together, Ata. But you cannot do it alone. And I think it is important to keep your self respect. He's been very hurtful for a long time and you suffered seriously. No relation is worth going bananas over.

3:15 pm

Atalante

not crumbling flues! sounds awfully diseasy

3:15 pm

Dorens

no just awfully expensive, i'm waiting for them to come up with the estimate

3:15 pm

jmcnrick

well as sprite noted this has been going on for a while and I don't know the whole story.

3:16 pm

Soodlebum

Do you have any kids, Ata?

3:16 pm

Atalante

he's not embarrassed, he informed me that we were not discussing the issue any more cos he was right and I needed to see that!

3:16 pm

Aimsly

106 words of 227 -- first time playing, gonna call it quits for today. no fireworks, sadly.

3:16 pm

Atalante

nope, no kids, thank goodness

3:16 pm

Dorens

ohhhh doesn't sound good

3:16 pm

jmcnrick

and you should never be afraid of your partner

3:16 pm

sprite

Aimsly, that is terrific! Fireworks are an extra, not a must. I hope you enjoyed yourself.

3:16 pm

Dorens

i don't mean about the no kids, just his not talking now

3:16 pm

Soodlebum

How long have you two been together?

3:17 pm

jmcnrick

do you have joint accounts?

3:17 pm

KatieMcG

When I had been single for about 6 months I had to work late I was driving home (to my own house) and couldn't work out what was wrong, I suddenly realised that I didn't have a fist of fear in my tummy about the cold shoulder there would be because I hadn't made it home in time to cook dinner

3:17 pm

jmcnrick

aimsly

3:17 pm

Atalante

oh yes, jmc, he's pulled this sort of weird shit for ages now. invisible fleas in his side of the bed so the bed clothes needed changing every other day for months, my car being inhabited by his dead mother;s spirit ... all sorts of things!

3:17 pm

Aimsly

Thanks Sprite - see everyone later.
Ata, take care of yourself <3

3:17 pm

Dorens

good job aims

3:17 pm

KatieMcG

didn't realise that I had fear until it had gone!

3:17 pm

jmcnrick

wtg aimsly bye *waves*

3:17 pm

Atalante

absolutely Katie - that's why I always run to Oregon for a month or so of just not having that constant tension

3:17 pm

Atalante

yay aimsly!

3:18 pm

jmcnrick

if you have joint accounts you need to go first thing in the morning to close them.

3:18 pm

sprite

sheezzzz Katie, ouch. Being single after that guy must have been quite a relief. As heaven.

3:18 pm

jmcnrick

*lawyer kicking in*

3:18 pm

KatieMcG

bye aimsly be proud of yourself

3:18 pm

Dorens

ditto what j said

3:18 pm

sprite

very good advice!

3:19 pm

KatieMcG

hubby is still a revalation of loveliness, he's not perfect just perfect for me

3:19 pm

jmcnrick

okay I need to run to the farmers market {{{{{ata}}}}}

3:19 pm

Atalante

yes, and I want to go and see a solicitor to at least see what options I have and their outcomes. I'd rather know these things!

3:19 pm

jmcnrick

I am full of good advice!!! LOL

3:19 pm

sprite

bye jmc

3:19 pm

KatieMcG

bye jmc x

3:19 pm

Atalante

ty ty for your advice jmc

3:19 pm

jmcnrick

bbl

3:19 pm

Dorens

whenever you're ready j

3:20 pm

KatieMcG

the knowledge is certainly worth having Ata, I would get that advice quickly so you know where you stand and what you can do about it.

3:20 pm

sprite

Katie, imagine how it would be if our hubbies were really perfect! I'd kick him out. I swear.
My love has a load of oddities (as have I) but he is loving and warm and supportive to me. What more can I ask?

3:20 pm

Soodlebum

I was married 20 years - 3 kids. 2 yrs ago, he vanished. Police traced his credit cards to Bangkok. (he is 54!) Haven't seen him since then. He phones occasionally, drunk as a lord - blaming everything on me!

3:20 pm

Dorens

oh ata - that picture IS fantastic

3:20 pm

Atalante

oh joy! what a man!

3:20 pm

Nef

Hi people. Ata, I'm just catching up in the chog and I want you to know that he sounds mentally off.

3:20 pm

Dorens

ewww soodle, sounds dreadful

3:20 pm

Atalante

ty dorens, it makes me smile!

3:21 pm

KatieMcG

exactly sprite. If I have to work late he greets me with a glass of wine and a hug :-)

3:21 pm

Soodlebum

Does not contact the kids at all. Our son turned 19 today, and he got an email from his dad, wishing him a happy birthday.

3:21 pm

sprite

craziness, Soodle. Cruel on you! Must have had a helluva time.

3:21 pm

Dorens

good, you must keep smiling. lucky you that you can!

3:21 pm

Atalante

one of my best friends had something suspiciously simialr happen - husband vanishing to Bangkok!

3:21 pm

KatieMcG

At least they have you Soodle, just as well!

3:21 pm

Soodlebum

Lol ATA, maybe they are hooked up together!!

3:21 pm

Dorens

song from chess... one night in bangkok and thte worlds' your oyster

3:22 pm

sprite

lol yes... the bars are temples but the pearls ain't free!

3:22 pm

Atalante

I think they might be!!

3:22 pm

KatieMcG

seriously can't they just buy a whole new wardrobe and dye their hair like women do

3:22 pm

Soodlebum

Dorens ...I hope its crabs, not oysters!!!! lol

3:22 pm

KatieMcG

LMAO soodle

3:23 pm

Dorens

haha soodle

3:23 pm

sprite

I think it wouldn't matter much what someone would do to get through a midlife crisis, as long as it wouldn't make him hurtful to others. Putting someone down constantly is a very cruel thing to do.
Leaving wife and kids like that too, btw.

3:23 pm

crosshair

some very interesting news for all you bibliophiles... http://dvice.com/archives/2009/08/new-
wireless-so.php

3:23 pm

Dorens

some men just have a defective gene, and turn into total a**holes midlife

3:24 pm

Nef

How is the grid today? I'm just coming to; had a coloscopy this AM and don't know if I want to think hard this evening

3:24 pm

pardon? you said what about poor ole crossy?

3:24 pm

Soodlebum

Hey - who is the winner? I have my 3 kids. what has he got? He is 54 - looking down the barrel of old age. Miles from home, and with 3 kids, who would not spit on him if he was on fire!!

3:24 pm

I did well until 100 and haven't moved since

3:25 pm

You know, I couldn't stand living with a person who always finds fault with others. Marriage is supposed to be a union of 2, working together to make one union. It sounds to me like somewhere, somehow, someone forgot that reason for the marriage

3:27 pm

sprite

Oh yes there are, and Ata deserves a wonderful one. Some day. When she wants him :)

3:27 pm

Thanks!!! I am done.

Hi folks. I was quietly Babbling and reading all the hubby horror stories on the chog (I had one like that, too). Anyway, I just went in and gave me partner a kiss 'for being a lovely man'. He's now looking nervous & wondering if I'm after something. LOL.

3:28 pm

crosshair

makes me edgy when that happens as well jacula lol

3:28 pm

Stories like this sure makes one appreciate her own hubby.

3:30 pm

Ata, Sorry you are having a hard time of it. Close the bank accounts (good advice from jmc) and go see an attorney to see what your options are. I would try marriage counseling

Hi all. Been reading the chog. Sorry to hear about things from Ata. Just remember, Ata, the problems are his, not yours. If he criticises you for eating cookies, tell him it;s your body and your business.

3:32 pm

KatieMcG

to completely change the subject. A football from my football team was stabbed in the legs on saturday and is still critical in hospital, another's father died on the way to the match on sunday on the motorbike his son bought him. Now we are losing to our arch rivals, there is trouble in the stadium and hundreds rioting outside, boy it has been a bad week to follow west ham

3:32 pm

AND your cookies!

3:32 pm

hi Sally :)

3:32 pm

KatieMcG

oh we've just scored!!

3:32 pm

DH and I are mentors in our churches' Marriage Prepare Program for engaged couples. We stress that it takes a lot of work to have a good marriage; but lack of communication will make any marriage hell.

If he tries it again, don't shout. Just stay calm and cool and be FIRM. It will give you power, which shouting won't do. Go and shout in the woods :-)
