hi everyone
3:36 am
Haz1558
Hello Andree.
3:37 am
millsbooks
morning
3:37 am
Andree
haz haven't seen you around the last few days
3:38 am
Haz1558
Andree, I've been really busy so was doing the grid and not chatting.
3:38 am
Haz1558
And of course,the day when things ease up, we have a tiny grid!
3:39 am
Andree
i do that often when i'm busy
3:40 am
Andree
its tiny but has it teeth, i have just started
3:40 am
Haz1558
Hello. floppy Ata. I'm crawling to a finish.
3:41 am
Atalante
I'm crawling to a start
3:41 am
Andree
haz did you see that i have changed puppies name
3:41 am
Haz1558
Yes - Hugo now - a very dignified name.
3:42 am
Haz1558
And tomorrow is the big day?
3:43 am
Andree
yes, miss 6 and miss 10 are coming with me to pick him up
3:43 am
Atalante
what fun!
3:44 am
Haz1558
That'll be great, Andree, company and memories to be made for them.
3:44 am
Andree
it has worked out well its a long weekend and tue is day off so i have 4 full days with no work, once he is potty trained he will come to tha office with me
3:45 am
Haz1558
He'll probably learn quickly, he's bound to be smart. And with spaniel eyes he'll be quickly forgiven for any accidents.
3:45 am
Andree
jules leaves tomorrow for NZ to visit her birth family so it will give me 10 days in the house alone to bond
3:46 am
Andree
its a shame the kids won't be here but maybe for the best
3:46 am
Haz1558
How old will he be, Andree, and when do you do routine vaccinations in Australia?
3:46 am
Atalante
probably
3:47 am
Andree
ata i found a perfect box and blanket so will start with those till he is bigger before i buy a bed
3:47 am
Atalante
awww great
3:48 am
Andree
nearly 8 weeks, next vac next week then 12 weeks then 1 year
3:48 am
Haz1558
Have you got the kennel built?
3:48 am
Haz1558
(Waiting for cries of outrage)
3:48 am
Haz1558
And then once he gets his final vaccinations you can start all those route marches.
3:48 am
Atalante
looooooool
3:49 am
Atalante
even I believe in route marches lol
3:49 am
Andree
i had lunch with mrp today and she offered me her unused kennel, don't think i need one, all my dogs before have slept inside
3:50 am
Haz1558
Ah, that's where you've been spoiling your dogs, Andree. Nothing says you're in charge more than providing a dog with a draughty, damp, spider infested kennel.
3:50 am
Atalante
and gruel
3:50 am
Haz1558
Thin gruel. Thinnest of thin.
3:50 am
Andree
i was planning bread and water
3:51 am
Haz1558
It has to be mouldy bread, don't forget.
3:51 am
Andree
is that thin enough
3:51 am
Andree
well we all know what a cruel person i am
3:51 am
Haz1558
I suppose if you mix the mouldy bread into a paste with the water, it would make a kind of thin gruel.
3:51 am
Haz1558
You're certainly on the right lines.
3:52 am
Haz1558
We talk about your cruelty constantly, Andree.
3:55 am
Atalante
all the time
3:55 am
Andree
i know, guess i deserve it,lol
3:59 am
Haz1558
How did your lunch go with mrp?
4:00 am
Andree
it was lovely, we had a delious chinese meal
4:01 am
Haz1558
Just the two of you? No problems in keeping the conversation going, I'm sure.
4:02 am
Andree
she has been so sick for so long and is so well now looks fantastic, hope all that ill health is behind her
4:03 am
Haz1558
I think we'd all join in that hope, it's been a long road for her.
4:04 am
Andree
she feels the fast she has just done[ 14 days] has rid her body of all the drugs and antibiotics she had been on for so long
4:05 am
Andree
and i must say her eyes are sparkling and skin looks fabulous
4:05 am
Andree
made me quite sick really
4:05 am
Haz1558
She didn't go for the old colonic irrigation?
4:06 am
Haz1558
The thought of it is bad enough, but there are people willing to go on TV and have it done. Some things are best left to the imagination.
4:07 am
Atalante
could you get any less dignified?
4:07 am
Andree
and a lot of other things on tv, i really hate reality shows, only watch 1
4:09 am
Andree
don't worry ata for the sake of ratings someone will come up with something
4:09 am
Haz1558
I don't mind the reality shows where people are actually being taught to do something.
4:10 am
Haz1558
But talking about TV and reality in the same sentence is probably pushing it.
4:11 am
Haz1558
Husband once took part in a local series about his veterinary practice. He got weary of having to drive the car for them to get a shot of him approaching the farm, and of being asked to do some part of an operation 'again, we didn't get a good shot.'
4:11 am
Atalante
oh no! lol! poor cow!
4:12 am
Andree
many like me watch tv to get a break from reality
4:13 am
Haz1558
One segment featured him paring a cow's foot. You can't really put the stuff back on again, just for them to get their camera angle right.
4:13 am
Andree
i was watching something the other day and they were picking up their dog poops!!!!
4:14 am
Andree
and talking about the smell and carpet stains, would love to tell them to get a life
4:14 am
Haz1558
It was a bit of a pressure on everyone, because they would ring up and say that they were coming in on a particular day. There was no guarantee that life-saving and interesting operations were going to be needed to be done.
4:15 am
Haz1558
You can't just grab ill=looking animals and announce 'So you've always wanted to be a TV star?'
4:15 am
Atalante
as long as they didn't make up any interesting operations!
4:15 am
Haz1558
Just think, Andree, you could ring up a TV station and ask to be followed around while you're house training Hugo!
4:16 am
lynxxx
Good evening
4:16 am
Haz1558
Ask for plenty of money.
4:16 am
Andree
they would probably be quite happy if you made an animal ill so they could get a good shot
4:16 am
Haz1558
Hello lynxxx.
4:16 am
Haz1558
It was quite funny, they would be willing the phone to ring with some outlandish complaint to be dealt with.
4:17 am
Andree
withthe other rubbish thats on they would probably thin it was entertainment
4:17 am
Andree
hi lynxxx too
4:17 am
Haz1558
Hugo would have the cute factor on his side.
4:18 am
Andree
and the eyes!
4:19 am
Haz1558
You could have lingering shots of the kennel.
4:19 am
Atalante
and gruel recipes!
4:19 am
Haz1558
Damp, draughty with HUGE Australian spiders.
4:20 am
Andree
so hugo could be a star, and i could be rich
4:21 am
Haz1558
It looks that way.
4:22 am
Andree
hope i still have time to babble
4:22 am
Atalante
hey, we're host to loads of famous ppl here!
4:22 am
Haz1558
You can employ staff, you'll be able to devote your energy to babble.
4:23 am
Atalante
and walking Hugo
4:23 am
Andree
and we know famous is as famous does
4:23 am
Atalante
Hugo would be a charming famous puppy
4:24 am
lynxxx
I watched a new show last night (well new for Aust) with Kirsty from Relocation, Relocation. Showed her parents house - if I was to get rich I would buy that house complete with furnishings, beautiful!
4:24 am
Atalante
Kirsty Allsop?
4:24 am
Haz1558
She does come from quite a rich background, doesn't she?
4:24 am
Andree
what was the show called
4:25 am
lynxxx
Yes, I didn't realise
4:25 am
Haz1558
Is it the one where she makes stuff for a cottage. Kirsty's House or something?
4:26 am
lynxxx
Kirsty Handcrafts or something along those lines - the show itself was so-so, sped too fast through everything
4:26 am
Andree
thus nights, i will watch out for it
4:27 am
lynxxx
yes Kirsty Allsop, should that surname ring a bell?
4:27 am
Andree
thurs too, my typing is extra bad tonight
4:27 am
Haz1558
It didn't get very good reviews over here - I haven't watched it myself so can't comment other than to say that critics felt the whole idea of people making their own stained glass was a bit unrealistic. It would still be more interesting than watching people picking up dog poo.
4:27 am
Andree
or having a colonic
4:28 am
Haz1558
Or having inane conversations about themselves.
4:28 am
Andree
and i know a couple of people who do stained glass
4:29 am
Haz1558
I think the idea is good - to encourage people to try out new crafts, but the idea of doing everything is a bit much.
4:29 am
Haz1558
But at least she speaks nicely!
4:29 am
Atalante
you need collectives. 1 to do stained glass, 1 to make pottery etc
4:30 am
Haz1558
I'd make the tea and do the ironing!
4:30 am
Atalante
and cook cheesecakes
4:30 am
Haz1558
Yes, they'd all get horribly overloaded with calories.
4:31 am
Haz1558
And I could brush up and keep the place tidy.
4:31 am
Atalante
takes energy making crafts!
4:31 am
Andree
and i am craft mad, have so many projects going, want to finish before i die, i know my kids will toss out all my fabrics , paints etc
4:32 am
lynxxx
Energy...and time, and passion, and even money
4:32 am
Atalante
send them all over here! I'll use them! I have boxes full of *stuff*
4:32 am
Andree
stained glass i have been told is a very expensive hobby
4:33 am
Haz1558
Do you have a dedicated craft room, Andree?
4:33 am
Andree
what i hate is when you give an item you have made, folks think you have saved money,lol
4:34 am
lynxxx
My mother was a spinner, dyer & quilter plus sewer etc. She had a quilting room. It took so long to clear it all out and pass on appropriately when she passed
4:34 am
Andree
i have a sewing room with all my stuff but keep painting and messy stuff in the garage
4:35 am
Haz1558
My daughter in Edinburgh was very pleased with herself, She had saved the leather from a much loved pair of boots and eventually found someone who was able to make a bespoke handbag using it and some buttons and bits and pieces she had squirreled away. She's thrilled with it and so triumphant that she hadn't listened to me and thrown out the boots.
4:36 am
Andree
when we moved in here, that was to be my work room, Jules's files and paperwork and computer etc have crept in, one of the few things about my "flatmate" that annoys me
4:37 am
lynxxx
Haz - is Edinburgh permanent now? Is this the daughter who graduated?
4:37 am
Andree
thats true recycling, i'm a recycling nazi[among other things]
4:37 am
Haz1558
Yes, it's the one who graduated in July. She's got a job in Edinburgh now although I can't see it being a job for life - and I think she'd go crazy if she thought she'd never get something better.
4:38 am
Haz1558
However, it's a job and better than nothing. She'd like to stay in Edinburgh, but will have to be prepared to adapt to whatever the job market is offering.
4:38 am
Andree
i try to give her the hint especially when i am making a quilt to put her stuff somewhere else
4:39 am
Andree
from little things big things grow haz
4:40 am
Haz1558
I'm happy that she has a strong work ethic, this job frustrates her because she isn't kept busy enough.
4:40 am
Andree
and i guess at the moment one has to think that many graduates have no job
4:41 am
Haz1558
Exactly. She's been feeling a bit down lately, probably because so many of her friends are going elsewhere and suddenly the reality of living as an adult instead of the different world of university is hitting home.
4:41 am
forwardbyfaith
can't find any of the p words - find a pu4 but that is not even showing up!
4:42 am
Atalante
is she teaching?
4:42 am
Andree
my ex son in law who is an economist was retrenched last december and still not working, he is being far too fussy
4:42 am
lynxxx
a golf pu**?
4:43 am
lynxxx
pf4.9 is a bit odd
4:43 am
forwardbyfaith
i found that one lynxx but it isn't showing up
4:43 am
Haz1558
No, she's working on the marketing of an interior design firm, but the boss is very resistant to change.
4:43 am
Haz1558
po5/14 - plural little platform
4:43 am
lynxxx
worked for me Faith
4:43 am
Andree
i would not care less except my daughter has not had a cent from him for the kids for almost a year, she dare not complain as he may be able to claim child support from her as he has the kids 1/2 the time
4:44 am
forwardbyfaith
sorry - didn't realize it was on the other p...slinking away now
4:44 am
Haz1558
Goodness, I hadn't realised that the whole child support thing could be that complicated.
4:45 am
forwardbyfaith
thanks for the clue Haz
4:45 am
Andree
yes as she is the only parent earning
4:45 am
Haz1558
You're welcome, forward.
4:46 am
Haz1558
Do you think he's withholding the money with that get out clause in mind?
4:46 am
lynxxx
po4.6 is spelled like the small 'forest' here
4:48 am
forwardbyfaith
i have a po5,14 and a po4,6 - am I missing another po?
4:48 am
Andree
no he is still jobless, i can't understand why he does not take what comes along, the longer one is jobless the harder it is to find employment
4:48 am
Haz1558
Just two po words.
4:48 am
lynxxx
no, try the pf4.9
4:48 am
lshult
just got the last of the 6's, but still missing 2x7's (got de7/44 x2)....any clues for other 2?????
4:49 am
Haz1558
I agree, Andree, if only to give him structure and a bit of money.
4:49 am

11:44 am
FMitch
Ata, though of you today as I wrapped up the DoG in bubble wrap :)
11:44 am
Atalante

11:45 am
72 Temple Owl

11:46 am
FMitch

11:46 am
Vicuna
Keeps 'em safe, TO. Her dog has a perfect finish.
11:46 am
72 Temple Owl
just leave hte head out
11:47 am
Vicuna
ANd if you don't use plenty of bubble wrap the postal service can be so rough.
11:47 am
Vicuna
No, TO, the head's the most delicate part! Double layer there!
11:48 am
Atalante
I wish WISH I could find another 2 for me and Haz!
11:48 am
Vicuna
Is all this wrapping preperatory to the move, FM?
11:49 am
FMitch
Refresh for a pic of the DoD, ... see I am so out of touch with babble I got it mixed up with the CoG!

Is your typing really that contagious, FM? Will it help if I rub my screen with alcohol periodically?
11:56 am
jmcnrick
I liked the two guys I met through match.com
11:56 am
72 Temple Owl
well doren got her neighbor!
11:56 am
EvaNadine
my ex, who i dated for 2 years, i met on match.com
11:56 am
nrkii
and one of them I actually dated a few times
11:56 am
nrkii
oh, I also got a neighbor... lives 3 doors away
11:56 am
72 Temple Owl
oooh dish, je! i did not know you joined
11:56 am
EvaNadine
course, they also tried to match me with an old coworker, and a friends ex!
11:56 am
nrkii
didn't date him though... that would have been TOO bizarre
11:57 am
jmcnrick
several years ago when son was young
11:57 am
nrkii
my last match experience made me quit match though
11:57 am
jmcnrick
but it turned out my son couldn't handle me dating so I stopped
11:57 am
72 Temple Owl
wekk any of you who have experience, can you help me please> why do i get matched by mail where i am older than they specify? that's cheating. you too nrk - dish
11:57 am
jmcnrick
one was a writer who lived in rural va.
11:58 am
FMitch
Time for dinner - lovely to see you al but must be off.
Happy Babbling.
11:58 am
jmcnrick
the other was a lawyer whose wife had dumped him for a woman
11:58 am
72 Temple Owl
fm lovely to see you.
11:58 am
nrkii
1. match.com kept sending me same matches over and over
11:58 am
Atalante
bye dear!
11:58 am
nrkii
2. match.com kept sending me matches way out of my geography range
11:58 am
jmcnrick
you get match if you have several thing matching even if not all
11:58 am
EvaNadine
TO, i think if you match up with the majority of their specifications, they will still match you
11:59 am
nrkii
3. 2 of the 3 guys I dated from match were not self-confident enough for my tastes
11:59 am
72 Temple Owl
and do they do that to void the guarantee? that is why i think they send me matches that don't want me
11:59 am
EvaNadine
my friend + her hubby met through match, though. they seem well-matched!
11:59 am
jmcnrick
wow there were a lot of vowel combinations around the pf!
11:59 am
72 Temple Owl
ok well as long as it did not involve danger...how long were you a member?
12:00 pm
nrkii
no, TO, I think they just want you to keep your options a bit more open
12:00 pm
nrkii
off and on for a few years
12:00 pm
jmcnrick
no they were both sweet.
12:00 pm
nrkii
the last one had me worried about danger, after I broke up with him
12:00 pm
72 Temple Owl
ty for sharing. i do need to go have a headshot done
12:00 pm
jmcnrick
of course the minute i describe my job anyone can find me on the internet
12:00 pm
nrkii
I went to Glamour Shots and splurged, then also put in a couple of candids
12:01 pm
jmcnrick
maybe I should get my son to go a glamor shot of me and try again
12:01 pm
Vicuna
Umm... belated farewell, FM!
12:01 pm
72 Temple Owl
is there still a glamor shots?
12:01 pm
nrkii
It was nice to meet new people, and to date... I miss that
12:01 pm
nrkii
yep still exists... I went to the one in the Bridgewater (NJ) mall
12:01 pm
EvaNadine
i always emailed/chatted online for quite some time before agreeing to meet. if they were too desperate to meet or pushing me into it, i was done.
then, when i did agree to meet, it was always in a public place, where someone knew where i was + when i was to be home. often, i would have a friend with me for the initial meeting.
12:01 pm
nrkii
it was fun!
12:02 pm
72 Temple Owl
ok thx will google ...the one here made me look like a tart
12:02 pm
nrkii
Eva, I wasn't quite as cautious
12:02 pm
nrkii
oh, just tell them you need headshots for work, so you can't go too crazy
12:03 pm
EvaNadine
i was kinda paranoid. but better safe than sorry. :)
12:03 pm
nrkii
and after I "wasn't quite as cautious," I wished I had been more so
12:03 pm
72 Temple Owl
ok i think i would begin as eva but i guess there is a point where you make a decision
12:04 pm
nrkii
nothing happened, but I had a few days where I was worried he was going to turn into a stalker
12:04 pm
nrkii
TO, very true, at some point, you're going to take a risk
12:04 pm
72 Temple Owl
OMG nrk they can airbrush you!!
12:04 pm
nrkii
they DID airbrush me, which was a little annoying
12:04 pm
EvaNadine
TO, if youre still in annapolis, theres a Glamour Shots near there. ;)
12:04 pm
nrkii
that's why I ended up including candids too
12:05 pm
72 Temple Owl
hell nrk i need all the airburshing i can get! ty evaN
12:05 pm
nrkii
oh, one thing with Glamour Shots... bring some clothes of your own... don't rely on what they have. And bring good color selection.
12:05 pm
72 Temple Owl
they would need to graft a new head, as beat aws i am after work
12:06 pm
Atalante
go before work then ;)
12:06 pm
nrkii
well, they airbrushed out a couple of moles I have on my face, which is great, but eventually you're going to meet the guy, and not look quite as GLAMOURY as they make you look
12:06 pm
72 Temple Owl
good thought ata but i look horrid at 6AM
12:07 pm
Atalante
awww bet you don't
12:07 pm
Vicuna
Or bring your own extra head so they don't give you one that looks like a tart.
12:07 pm
72 Temple Owl
what i fear is that they will make my skin look better than it is then whomnever will be very disappointed
12:07 pm
nrkii
no way TO... you're quite pretty and I know you'll look great...
12:07 pm
Atalante
I think anyone who sees a "glamour shot" will know thats not 100% accurate
12:08 pm
nrkii
and if they overdo it on your skin, you can get the non-airbrushed version too
12:08 pm
nrkii
but definitely include a couple of candids in your profile
12:08 pm
Vicuna
I think you looking nice is much better than any attempts to make you look like some fake model person.
12:08 pm
72 Temple Owl
nrk: i had such bad acne as a teen and young adult...i have had two lasers to treat it and am currenlty g ong to book another
12:08 pm
nrkii
I agree Vicuna, but I still had a blast getting the glamour shots done
12:09 pm
jmcnrick
TO go on a day off and then you have no excuse
12:09 pm
Vicuna
Well, that's a whole nother issue, nrkii. No harm in having fun with it! =)
12:09 pm
72 Temple Owl
i don't want to look glamourous. just pretty
12:09 pm
EvaNadine
i had glamor shots done when i was like 13 or 14 and people thought i was 30. :X
12:09 pm
nrkii
TO, didn't I meet you in DC this past winter? Weren't you there?
12:09 pm
72 Temple Owl
yes.
12:09 pm
nrkii
by the way, my facebook pic is Glamour Shot
12:09 pm
Atalante
can you get a friend to take some just "normal" photos? Friends always get the best shots of you looking relaxed
12:10 pm
nrkii
well, I didn't notice anything with your skin, so you shouldn't worry about it too much
12:10 pm
72 Temple Owl
good plan, ata
12:10 pm
nrkii
our mirrors need to be redesigned so we can't look at them quite so close up
12:10 pm
Atalante
that's a lovely pic, nrk
12:10 pm
Vicuna
Or get them slightly frosted.
12:10 pm
72 Temple Owl
LOl it's worsew with reading glasses if you forget to take them off
12:11 pm
nrkii
I loved that shot because even though it makes me a little "too pretty," it captures how I felt inside, and my personality in general
12:11 pm
nrkii
and thanks Ata!
12:11 pm
Atalante
it is, it's a really "normal" glamour shot, you look happy and smily
12:11 pm
72 Temple Owl
well i was loooking for one of the shots from our meet that i thoght was pretty good but no one has sent any
12:12 pm
nrkii
yes, maybe we could get that filter they used on Cybil Shepherd in Moonlighting... soft filter on all our mirrors, so we are more forgiving
12:12 pm
nrkii
TO, can you grab it off FB?
12:12 pm
72 Temple Owl
i read where tom brokaw was shot through a filter
12:13 pm
Vicuna
Yeah, very nice smile, nrk!
12:13 pm
EvaNadine
hrm. i dont think we are facebook friends, nrkii...
12:13 pm

ruru - sea squirts / tunicates are absolutely fascinating.. they are an important part of evolutionary studies, and in embryology
1:12 pm
rururocks
oh.. they are tunicates.. got it.
1:12 pm
rururocks
they are related to chitons then?
1:13 pm
rururocks
I am going to have to read up on them.. I don't think I have ever seen one diving out here on the West Coast.
1:16 pm
Atalante
no lol. they aren't really related to much. they really are a separate little bunch ... probably the next group "down" from the real vertebrates. read up on them, it's fascinating.
1:17 pm
bichon
That's cause the water's too damn cold
1:17 pm
rururocks
nm chitons can't be related.. we have some types of tunicates out here, but they are attached to rocks and are tiny.

yep, tunicates are everywhere, most ppl just don't notice them

2:28 pm

i liked it ex hubby hated it, told me if i ever got sanything else pierced or bleached (hair) he was leaving, so i pulled up my top and told him i was getting them done next, the suitcases were in the loft

Hmm. I don't sense a lot of compromise in that relationship, jacq! =P

Ata? When you write your papers do you use a style guide? If so, which one?
4:12 pm
Atalante
not any more. I followed my PhD supervisors guidance originally, but guidelines really depend on which journal you're writing for
4:16 pm
BabbleRabble
I have come across some articles recently that talked about making science more interesting to non-scientists by changing the way the papers are written
4:17 pm
Atalante
I think there are 2 types of scientific paper. And this is what scientists work towards - you write a few scientific papers in obscure journals, and then write a popular science version for something like Sci American or Nature or the newspapers
4:18 pm
BabbleRabble
Science Today has articles I sometimes understand .. I think
4:19 pm

Is there a te 5/12?
4:20 pm
Atalante
it's really nice to say they all should do, but they just dont. I couldn't write about the details of fish cladistics without first explaining the concepts behind cladistic analysis etc etc. To just write "cladistics is a mathematical way of analysing relationships" is possible, but that's dumbing down
4:22 pm
BabbleRabble
I mention it because science is so important .. especially now with so many environmental and food issues ... the world needs top people to find solutions

absolutely. it is ... the world is so screwed, but it's so important to see reality from hype
4:29 pm
BabbleRabble
the reality for me is that too many Americans think being the number 1 or 2 polluter and the number 1 consumer as their birthright ... absolute hogwash but hard to combat
4:29 pm
Atalante
yep! ditto in China
4:30 pm

I'm with you Atalante. I like to read Science and Nature. there are definitely some scientific articles that I dont want to read, but I think are important for others in the profession to read. but, there are so many who wont even read nature or National Geographic.

cute puppy. indulgence wouldn't be healthy if it were a frequent habit... need a proper balance of wanting and having

5:51 pm
Dorens

5:51 pm
DR1965
yes it is indeed wrong Dorens
5:51 pm
Nef
Hi DR, Dorens, wildcat and all

5:52 pm
Atalante

5:52 pm
DR1965
I have 20 words so far

5:58 pm
suefrad625
hi seain
5:59 pm
suefrad625
the same vowel?
5:59 pm
dcseain
yes, rest achieved. Things are well. We got home on Tuesday, and are going back to Cleveland tomorrow, as there's a follow-up with the FNP on Monday
5:59 pm
dcseain
be well, wild :)
5:59 pm
suefrad625
nm, got it
5:59 pm
DR1965
that is encouraging DC Good for both of you!
5:59 pm
DR1965
I know it has been hard
6:01 pm
dcseain
he's frustrated, as it hurts, and his gradient and flow have not changed as yet when invoked according to the echo
6:03 pm
DR1965
could the non change be due to surgical swelling? _ I have no clue- just have had lots of suregery
6:03 pm
Nef
He looks pretty chipper in the pictures; although if I was his nurse I wouldn't let him look that rumpled and let you take a picture of him like that!
6:04 pm
dcseain
he's been in a good mood all-in-all. And i have no pity for the pain, as he's not using the lipoderm
6:04 pm
Nef
when was his surgery? (trying to figure out if he should still have enough swelling to cause that)
6:05 pm
Uneaixoise
wow, very stoic, seain
6:05 pm
dcseain
a week ago thursday, the 24th
6:05 pm
DR1965
then i do not pity the pain either! I have had lots of surgery and htey give you pain meds because it hurts!
6:05 pm
dcseain
ah. i'm sympathetic, and i'll suggest the lipoderm again to him.
6:05 pm
Uneaixoise
good mood but not taking pain meds?
6:05 pm
dcseain
exactly, dr
6:05 pm
Uneaixoise
seems pretty stoic to me! :-)
6:06 pm
dcseain
he has chronic pain, une, so this pain is more concentrated
6:06 pm
Nef
he will feel better and move better if he uses the pain meds more now this soon after surgery
6:06 pm
Uneaixoise
oohhh, ok
6:06 pm
dcseain
i know, nef, and so should he. I'll remind him :)
6:06 pm
Uneaixoise
but so far, so good, right/
6:07 pm
Atalante
and, no, it's not wussy taking pain relief! :P
6:07 pm
Bugsaw
seain, tell him he is only supposed to resist painkillers if he just had a baby and is nursing. Otherwise, the pain meds will help him relax and heal quicker.
6:07 pm
DR1965
LOL- nice Bugs
6:08 pm
Bugsaw
Does he still look like a Simpson with all the orange paint?
6:09 pm
Nef
The sooner he's up moving around the better he will be. The pain meds allow him to move better this soon after surgery. By holding off on them it slows his healing down
6:09 pm
dcseain
will do bugsaw
6:09 pm
KatieMcG
well that was uplifting (not!)
6:09 pm
dcseain
he's moving lots, nef, that's not an issue
6:09 pm
DR1965
I have 2 de7 and 1 fa7- what is the last one please
6:09 pm
dcseain
he was out of bed day of surgery, into wheelchair, into bed, and walking the next day
6:09 pm
Atalante
lol torchwood isn't exactly all happy endings!
6:09 pm
car.eeyore
There are 3 DE 7's
6:10 pm
DR1965
CAR!!! How are you???
6:11 pm
Nef
Here's my pain scale I used on my pts. 1-3 is distracible pain (you forget about it while oding things; but are aware of it if not distracted). 4-6 is pain you can't be distracted from; you can still eat, visit, watch TV, but are aware the pain is still there. 7-10 pain is shut up, give me drugs, leave me alone! (You can't DO stuff at all) You want to keep the pain less than 4-5
6:12 pm
dcseain
for him, 7 is distractible, but his usual levels would be a 3 to most people, i'm sure, so his view is skewed
6:12 pm
Jacula
Hello everyone. I've had a hell of a job getting this site to load. Odd, since it's a small grid.
6:13 pm
dcseain
hi, jacula
6:14 pm
Bugsaw
Is this surgery designed to relieve him of pain levels that high, seain? I sure hope so
6:15 pm
Nef
Seain, tell him to ONLY consider the surgical pain, not whatever his chronic pain is
6:15 pm
dcseain
no, bugsaw. this surgery was to relieve his hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy
6:16 pm
KatieMcG
is there going to be another series?
6:16 pm
dcseain
i've tried, nef.
6:16 pm
dcseain
he is taking his percocet
6:16 pm
Nef
okay. I'm not his nurse; and he won't listen to you. That makes it tough
6:17 pm
redturtlehead
nurses make realy suckky patients!!!!
6:17 pm
KatieMcG
having watched 4 hours of torchwood and now thoroughly depressed I'm off to bed, see you all tomorrow x
6:17 pm
Atalante
that is still under discussion, katie. everyone wants one, and it's *likely*, I think
6:17 pm
Bugsaw
I feel so badly for people who must live whith chronic pain. I admire their persistence and good humour when I would probably be rolled up into the fetal position
6:17 pm
dcseain
there is that, red
6:17 pm
car.eeyore
Sorry DR...what chatting with DH....we are OK...hanging in.
6:18 pm

Giving up, as my posts aren't appearing. It's worse than the old days of 'dial-up'.

6:19 pm
DR1965

6:25 pm
72 Temple Owl

Atalante

6:26 pm
72 Temple Owl

6:35 pm
dcseain
jacula, ty for the list
6:36 pm
Nef
(I first took the CCRN exam on vacation in Montana in 1978) It's a tough exam; I took it a total of 7 times before I gave up and renewed my CCRN by CEUs
6:36 pm
Eva
we babblers all know that woot is indeed a word! also wooted!
6:36 pm
Jacula
Just wondring now if my lag is due to the fact that I used a pic straight off the net rather than downloading it and taking it from my pc.
6:36 pm
dcseain
indeed, eva
6:36 pm
dcseain
and noted about the exam, Nef
6:36 pm
Jacula
Eva - I thought that about 'woot', too.:-)
6:37 pm
Eva
is it you who always says that Jac? Or someone else.
6:37 pm
Nef
maybe they consider woot a noun, it IS a website (woot.com)
6:38 pm
redturtlehead
clue for the last po 4 6? i need a fish i am sure...
6:38 pm
Jacula
Not me, Eva.

6:43 pm
72 Temple Owl

6:43 pm
DR1965
sorry to upset you TO and Nef
6:44 pm
dcseain
0.75 C fine chopped onion, 3 cloves garil minced, 1/8 C hot peppers, chopped an mostly seeded, 6 fresh tomatoes, rough chopped. Brief saute of onion/garlic/peppers, add tomatoes, cook until tomato caramelizes. Deglaze with juice of one lemon, let cook more. Add 1 C pasta water, toss with pasta and 1/2 C grated cheese. Spicy, but not too much so.
6:44 pm
DR1965
I am amused because my boss said to me just today " Wow! You love your commas." as she was erasing them
6:44 pm

7:08 pm
Jacula
Ata - mine won't stay off work unless he's half-dead, and then I have to cosh him with a frying pan to make him stay home.
7:08 pm
Minveryork
Congratulations stidmama on finishing the 1st week in your Master's program. How many more weeks left
7:08 pm
dcseain

Hello BabbleRabble!How are you? Welcome to the grid
7:08 pm
BabbleRabble

7:08 pm
Jacula
*Draws curtains over SueFrad's room and writes a line of .....'s.*
7:08 pm
Atalante
lucky you! husband has been ill all week. he has a "cold"
7:09 pm
dcseain
best case, demotion of gods
7:09 pm
dcseain
in the name of conversion/salvation.
7:10 pm
redturtlehead
Does he have the Swine FLu?
7:10 pm
BabbleRabble
are you serious?
7:10 pm
Atalante
at least. pneumonia too probably
7:10 pm
Jacula
Ata - mine was fine until 20 mins after he got up at about 5am yesterday, then the coughing began.
7:10 pm
stidmama
hello BR!
7:10 pm
dcseain
i am, though that was all long, long ago.
7:10 pm
Jacula
Red - I hope not! Someone where he works really did have it last week.
7:10 pm
BabbleRabble
hello, stid
7:11 pm
Jacula
I'll probably sleep on the sofa tonight.
7:11 pm
Atalante
I tried to persuade him that if he spent all day yesterday playing on his playstation, he could probably manage to work today. but no. "best to be careful" he says
7:11 pm
BabbleRabble
I see ... I have a word for that
7:11 pm
redturtlehead
If he has it he'll be sick like the regular flu for about 8 days, then pretty much get over it. and Sofa a good idea. He might want to get the nasty tamiflu since it started suddenly.
7:11 pm
Jacula
Better not climb into bed with stepdaughter as she's a bit miffed at us for daring to watch Autumnwatch on TV together without informing her.
7:11 pm
dcseain
yes, BR? :)
7:12 pm
redturtlehead
Ohhhh One of my fav foods is in Grid!
7:12 pm
Atalante
how dare you!
7:12 pm
Jacula
red - thanks for the info.
7:12 pm
BabbleRabble
oh I am not going to pursue this
7:13 pm
redturtlehead
I think Jacs that I pretty much told you what you already know. ;)
7:13 pm
Atalante
how dare you was to Jac lol :P
7:13 pm
Jacula
Ata - exactly. Maybe we'll draw up a timetable of our activities for her, so she can approve them in advance. =)
7:14 pm
Atalante
I think that's safest :P
7:14 pm
dcseain
yay. cat left
7:14 pm
Atalante
bye cat! was it Alabaster?
7:14 pm
redturtlehead
fireworks! thanks to all for Clues!!!!
7:15 pm
dcseain
no, Feldspar. Alabaster's asleep on the chair beside me.
7:15 pm
dcseain
congrats, red
7:15 pm
stidmama
YAY red!!!!
7:15 pm
Jacula
Cat left? Maybe it's out with my cat? Last I saw of him he was crunching up a sweet field mouse like I'd just seen on Autumnwatch.:(
7:15 pm
Atalante
awwwww :)
7:15 pm
stidmama
so. my younger son has his best friend staying with us over the weekend. Nothing like a couple of mid-teens being goofy as they peruse a take-out pizza menu!~
7:15 pm
Jacula
Well done, red.
7:16 pm
stidmama
and now dog is adding his opinions about what should be brought home... *sigh*
7:16 pm
Jacula
Stid - you have my sympathy. I think I've got a similar scenariio to come on Sunday.
7:17 pm
grammaterri1
hello awesome babblers, I am missing an A. I have ai4 and 5, ap4, at4 and 4 and au4 and 6. what am I missing?
7:17 pm

7:17 pm
BabbleRabble
Why are you so drained, stid?
7:17 pm
Jacula
Somewhere between 9-12 later, the Gas Board (not called that now) are delivering our new boiler, new rad, new thermostat and timer and other sundry stuff ready for the men who will be installing it all on Monday, starting 8am, and possibly Tuesday too.
7:18 pm

Hi grammterri

grammaterri1
hi Jac, good to see everyone w00t!
7:19 pm
Jacula
stid - I've got a boy and two girls and I'm still not sure which scenario I prefer either.
7:19 pm
stidmama
it was a LONG week, BR -- enjoyable, nice, but in a large crowd. Overstimulating, and hence draining. I am a small-cluster person (no more than about 5 or 6), not a big-happy-family type
7:19 pm
Jacula
grammaterri - you can't say 'woot', enable doesn't allow it.
7:20 pm
grammaterri1

grammaterri1
hi Heather, good to see you
7:21 pm
stidmama
yes, I did that some, but really wanted to make an effort this week. NEXT week I intend to revert to type.
7:21 pm
grammaterri1
thanx Jacula, off to look
7:21 pm
featherbee
:) sitting here, feeling lonely, figured this would be a good place to come!
7:21 pm
Jacula
Someone comes into a room, senses something is going on and asks, 'What's af5?'
7:21 pm
Atalante
hi feather!
7:22 pm
stidmama
why lonely feather?
7:22 pm
stidmama

7:23 pm
grammaterri1
aww I'm listening to the Austin City Limits concert on Hulu and enjoying a babble
7:23 pm
stidmama
oh, that annual training. Comes like clockwork, don't it?
7:23 pm
featherbee
NOPE. but, gee, thanks for thinking of me.
7:23 pm
Jacula
Well, feather, Babble's always a good place to be if you feel at a loose end. Always someone to chat to.
7:23 pm

dcseain

7:25 pm
Uneaixoise

7:25 pm
Shirlockc

7:26 pm
lbdawger
i was chosen for jury duty, and made the call in call. my case has been settled.
7:26 pm

7:26 pm
dcseain

7:26 pm
Uneaixoise
dawg's in the mountains
7:26 pm
stidmama
wow. so now what, LBD?
7:26 pm
lbdawger
now my dilemma is, do i tell work this and be open for calls to come for work or do i just take the days off and get my class stuff ready?
7:26 pm
Nef
Hi lbd. What is the dilemma?
7:27 pm
featherbee
days off!
7:27 pm
lbdawger
no hard freezes yet. but there is snow in the mountains
7:27 pm
Uneaixoise
dawg, they've never called me back for jury duty ever since I was the foreperson in a trial many years ago :-)
7:27 pm
Shirlockc
ah that was the clue I caught the end of in the chog!
7:27 pm
Jacula
days off, lbd.
7:27 pm
Shirlockc
thx dcseain
7:27 pm
stidmama
rofl... nice dilemma... but how would work feel if it finds out you didn't need the days off after all?
7:27 pm
stidmama
thanks for the big DE word
7:28 pm
featherbee
oh wow, belatedly caught that DE word, thanks
7:28 pm
lbdawger
how would they feel? they are unfeeling corporation, i doubt they'd say anything unless someone calls in sick and they need a warm body to fill in
7:28 pm
stidmama
okay, down to TEN and can't list until I have NBT. how about the O on the far right? it's my last sticky one, and I am certain it is a fish
7:28 pm
Jacula
stid - now how would work find that out and anyway the day off WERE needed.
7:28 pm
Uneaixoise

Otherwise, it's the end of something tuneful or mel****.
7:30 pm
stidmama
LOL see, I just KNEW it was fishy!
7:30 pm
lbdawger
okay, so i'll call in Tuesday and let them know I'm available Wednesday! lol
7:30 pm
stidmama
that sounds reasonable, LBD
7:31 pm
stidmama
to my little pea-brain anyway
7:31 pm
dcseain
i like that plan, dawg
7:31 pm
lbdawger
I still have to teach monday and tuesday night, so i'm not totally off. but I love teaching
7:31 pm
Nef
lbd; what do you teach?
7:32 pm
Jacula
I'm assuming fu4.13 has a place in the Babble dictionary because, as a Japanese word, it means something other than the mountain and the make of film.
7:32 pm
lbdawger
basic computers to veterans
7:32 pm
stidmama
teaching = fun/good; store work = work/sore feet
7:32 pm
stidmama
thanks for the f 4
7:32 pm
lbdawger
it's also a type of apple, jac
7:32 pm
Jacula
Teaching is great if you are teaching those with a mind to learn.
7:33 pm
Jacula
If not, it's a hard slog.
7:33 pm
featherbee
teaching kindergarteners is great!
7:33 pm
stidmama
down to 6, still listless, but lapping up clues like a starving kitten
7:33 pm

fa7 pine is a fa*****
7:33 pm
lbdawger
well, these guys are all veterans from as far back as the Korean War, so their skills are from totally nonexistent to quite good.
7:33 pm
stidmama
okay, have to head out and go get pizza. Back later to finish (boys elected to bring it home rather than eat at the pizzeria...)
7:34 pm
featherbee
bye stid
7:34 pm
Uneaixoise
later, stid :-)
7:34 pm
stidmama
(((((hugs all))))) see you soon!
*poof*
7:34 pm
lbdawger
fa7 is obese + what trees are made of
7:34 pm
lbdawger
later, Stid!
7:34 pm
Shirlockc
thx for the fa clue, never heard of that word
7:34 pm
Jacula
bye, Stid. I'd send you some of Paul's home-made pizzas, but he's too busy coughing and trying to sleep to cook.
7:35 pm
featherbee
doot is too a word. just ask mrs. robinson.
7:35 pm
lbdawger
it's a new one to me too, shirl
7:35 pm
Jacula
LOL, feather.
7:36 pm
Uneaixoise
i knew about the fa7 'cause i see ads for it in magazines but it's actually dangerous -- can cause fires in your flue
7:36 pm
Uneaixoise
and yes i'm paranoid about fires
7:36 pm
Jacula
I hadn't heard of it before either (fa7) but monkeyed it by accident. When I Googled it I found half the world calls it that rather than kindling.
7:37 pm
featherbee
but...it's not fat, it's skinny bits!
7:37 pm
Uneaixoise
jac, it's very specific kindling like pine . . .
7:37 pm
Atalante
really? wow
7:37 pm
lbdawger
oxymoron
7:37 pm
Jacula
True, Une - pine heartwo4 is full of resin and can spit globules out very far.
7:38 pm
Minveryork
Hello all! Speaking of teaching a heard a teacher say something today to her kids that was like the sound fingernails on a chalkboard.I heard her say "sit down and do not do nothing!"It was all I could do to not go into her room & correct her in front of her students.
7:38 pm
Jacula
The wo4 you normally burn has been dried out for a year or more.
7:38 pm
Dorens
hullo. you know what else helps to start fires? the lint from dryers. roll it up and put it under some wood and it catches nicely (free too)
7:38 pm
Uneaixoise
yup, "seasoned"
7:38 pm
featherbee
yeeks min!
7:38 pm
Uneaixoise
hey, dorens!
7:38 pm
Dorens
uh oh. right into the pb with me,
7:38 pm
Minveryork
Hello Dorens! How are you? Welcome to the chat log!
7:39 pm
Jacula
Hi Min. Maybe that teacher was just asking them to sit down and not be doing anything or listening to anything?
7:39 pm
Dorens
looking for chocolate in the pb
7:39 pm
featherbee
ok, my only zero box...the U please?
7:40 pm
dcseain
up4 - swept up hair style
7:40 pm
Minveryork
That up 4/7 word is a fancy hair style featherbee.
7:40 pm
Dorens
opposite of letting your hair down
7:40 pm
Uneaixoise
like in Mad Men :-)
7:40 pm
featherbee
right jac, then she should have said "do not do anything"...unless she didn't want them sitting there literally doing nothing...wait...i'm confused...lol!
7:40 pm
Jacula
Kids of today (oh heck, never thought I'd hear myself use that expression, seem to need constant noise and or entertainment. They have no idea how to stay still and just look and listen.
7:41 pm
Minveryork
I don't care what she was asking them to do. Double negatives are a HUGE pet peeve of mine!I hate them!
7:42 pm
dcseain
double negatives go back as fare as Beowulf in English. They are VALID in English. The late 19th century latinate grammarians disliked them.
7:43 pm
dcseain
English mostly prefers to avoid them, but they are permissible. In her case, it was emphatic
7:43 pm
Jacula
Ah, didn't read it properly, too long as a proof reader who's been disappointed by so-called writers. I hate double-negatives, too. I must have edited your post as I read it.
7:43 pm
rolotom
Hello all, no lickety today?
7:43 pm
Jacula
rolo - list's in my profile.
7:43 pm
dcseain
indeed not, rolo
7:43 pm
rolotom
Thanks jacula!
7:45 pm
Minveryork
I'm like the grammar police and I always hear people talking incorrectly using bad grammar. I also hate it when people misuse subject verb agreements&when they say drove when they should say driven. I could go on forever about using bad English & bad grammar
7:45 pm
Jacula
I assume they all sat down, some did nothing and others did stuff (as requested).
7:45 pm

7:46 pm
Minveryork
Hi rolotom! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
7:46 pm
dcseain
minver, does that not allow for difference in register, say formal vs vernacular?
7:46 pm
rolotom
Well, thanks minver, 5 left!
7:47 pm
Minveryork
Go rolotom go!
7:47 pm
Jacula
Min - but the thing about the English language is that it's only so rich and versatile because it keeps growing and changing. So, though pedants like you and I (or is that you and me?) keep railing at the changes, the changes still occur.
7:47 pm
Jacula
feather, yvm for list.
7:48 pm
Jacula
Min - I'm more concerned about the disappearance of punctuation. Lack of punctuation could start a war.
7:50 pm
Jacula
yvw. I meant, feather.
7:50 pm
rolotom
pf4 -- that's a new one for me!
7:50 pm
featherbee
well, jac, re: the punctuation, i'm very lazy in a place like this. sometimes i do, sometimes i don't. same for capitals. however, for anything remotely connected to work, i'm always proper. and sometimes, depending on who i'm talking to, i'm more proper here as well.
7:50 pm
lbdawger
is it bucketsful or bucketfuls?
7:50 pm
dcseain
feather, that's a good explanatory example of registers of speech :)
7:51 pm
featherbee
yup seain! it all depends on my audience and message.
7:51 pm
Jacula
pf + letters 3 & 4 of an ancient r**n.
7:52 pm
Minveryork
That is another pet peeve of mine.I don't like spoken bad English&written bad English. I am always editing my husband reports he writes for work.Husband has terrible grammar skills; spoken and written!
7:52 pm
dcseain
i think the latter, lbgawger, but i am not certain
7:54 pm
featherbee
po5 please?
7:54 pm
Jacula
feather - that's a bit like me talking/reading. My natural accent leads me to say bath rather than barth, grass rather than graas etc., but when reading out, unless the context is ther in the accent of the area, I tend to go for the vut-glass Southern UK vowel sound. No idea why.
7:54 pm
dcseain
feather, latin plural of speaker's stand
7:54 pm
lbdawger
latin plural of the thing you might stand behind whilst giving a speech
7:55 pm
Jacula
However, as a poet, I go with whichever sound suits my rhyming scheme.
7:55 pm
featherbee
that's interesting jac!

feather - I think it maybe becaue I was published at a very young age, as a girl with UK Midland vowels, by a company from London, also went to a posh grammar school.
7:57 pm

Minveryork
My husband thinks I need to get a clue,but no thanks
8:05 pm
Jacula
It's gone quiet upstairs, so he's sleeping now, not coughing, but maybe I should still sleep on the sofa? Mind you, I might not be up by 8am, and then the men delivering the stuff for the central heating might find me 'exposed' whilst alseep on the sofa. On 2nd thoughts, I think I'll go to bed upstairs somewhere.
8:06 pm
Jacula
Min - that's just him. However, if you need a Babble clue, let me know.
8:09 pm
lbdawger
whoooohoooooo FEATHER
8:10 pm
Jacula
Oh, and a word of advice, Min - don't let your man drag you down. My first tried it and didn't succeed. My kids may wonder what I'm going to do or say next, but they will say I never let them down. They'll also say I never pretended to be superhuman, that I had faults and admitted to them and that I was a superhuman walking dictionary without which they wouldn't know half of the things they know now, despite their university education(s).
8:12 pm
Jacula
I decided not to go to uni when I'd met my kids dad-to-be. Then I worked hard to get us a home, and so did he, then more hard work for a family home, despite him suddenly informeing me he didn't want a family,

8:34 pm
BlueAndAmy
Oooooo Jac... that's a tough one
8:34 pm
Jacula
I did remark in a light-hearted and airy fashion that I was removing the last £20 note earlier and Beloved, said, 'Spent it al already?'
8:35 pm
Jacula
Well, no, actually I klknow I haven't.
8:35 pm
BlueAndAmy
any other siblings?
8:35 pm
BlueAndAmy
does she ever have friends over?
8:36 pm
Minveryork
Are you just discovering this now Jacula or have you been thinking about it for awhile? Jacula, if you just discovered it now,then you should ask stepdaughter about it. Maybe ask your other half what you should do.However,that's a tough one to call though Jacula.
8:36 pm
Minveryork
Hello regis! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
8:36 pm
Jacula
My son is still at home, but he earns more than either of us, Blue. My daughter's left home and she doesn't need the money either.
8:37 pm
Jacula
Min - it's a thing I've wondered about for the past two weeks.
8:37 pm
Minveryork
Both de7/44 words are a past tense of de6/27 words
8:37 pm
BlueAndAmy
because if she ever has friends over, you could sit her down as if you're confiding in her that you are concerned one of her friends might have taken it, and ask her what she thinks you should do... maybe if it appears you're instilling that much trust in her that it would never occur to you that she might have taken it, it'll motivate her to confess or at least it might "mysteriously" re-appear
8:38 pm
BlueAndAmy
is that naive of me to think? I don't have any kids of my own...
8:38 pm
Minveryork
And that de 7/40 word is a person who kills God regis
8:38 pm
regis
i have the 7/44 s
8:39 pm
Jacula
I wish she would take herself out enough from thaty state of 'I've been plonked her because my Mum rejected me' to actually make some proper friends here. No, is thieving ha been done, it's her.
8:41 pm
BlueAndAmy
hmmm.... that's such a difficult situation, Jac... yeah, I think min is right, maybe see what your other half thinks
8:42 pm
Jacula
It's not the first time I've noticed the money from the pot disappearing. I didn't say anything to her Dad first time. Dificult subjject to broach, but yes, I think she is stealing.
8:42 pm
BlueAndAmy
How old is she?
8:43 pm
Jacula
She thinks I'm veru 'cool' and 'laid back' and that I don't notice stuff, but she's wrong.
8:44 pm
regis
minveryork i am not getting the 7/40 de
8:45 pm
Jacula
Next time he gives me the child allowance for her (which she thinks she is alllowed to spend), I'll put it somewhere else. Never had to hide money from their \Dad from my kids, but maybe a new approach is needed here.
8:45 pm
Minveryork
Remember Jacula that she is your stepdaughter NOT your friend. Proove her wrong about being cool and laid back, otherwise she'll just take advantage of you
8:46 pm
BlueAndAmy
well, maybe you could set up either your webcam or something to unquestionably "catch" her in the act, then confront her.... but that runs a big risk of making her angry, not solving the real problems, etc. You could replace the $ inside with a compassionate note of some kind, hope to appeal to the little girl that's still in her, something like "if you need money, I wish you'd come to your father and me and talk to us about it..." ... or again, maybe i'm being naive...?
8:46 pm
Jacula
Min - did I EVER say I ythought sh was my friend?
8:46 pm
Minveryork
Put"someone who kills God"in reverse dictionary and it is the first word on that list regis.
8:47 pm
Minveryork
No you didn't Jacula. I was just offering some advice.
8:48 pm
Jacula
Blue - when her Dad gets over his mysterious cough which we hope isn't Swine Flu, I'll tell him straight that she's been steaaling money, or thhat I think she has.
8:49 pm
Jacula
Min, okay re step.x

8:52 pm

Incidentally, sep did say that I scare her when she annoys me. She thinks I've 'shouted' at her. As my kids said when I told them that, 'SHE HAS NO IDEA!. Pis our Mum off and then you won't knoiw what hit you. Best education any chuild can have. Both o them said that.
