2:35 am

westford

2:35 am

westford

hard when your kids are hurting

2:36 am

westford

Vermont does have some fun stuff

2:41 am

rbud

he really was suffering, glad it went away. Oh, and when we finally got a doctor who would take the medical card, she sent out a letter about 3 weeks later saying she was leaving for another position somewhere else, so back to square one finding another one.

2:43 am

westford

ugh don't you just hate that

2:44 am

westford

I can't wait to see what kind of mess they'll make with health care

2:45 am

westford

2:46 am

o-o

I never did understand how a house could get better service

2:46 am

rbud

it's already so bad, no one will take the cards and we sure can't afford "real" insurance.

2:46 am

westford

hey there bab

2:48 am

westford

there's definitely a need for high tech medicine but our family doctor took out my tonsils and delivered my brother and everything in between

2:50 am

rbud

Oh, yes, those were better days, no doubt in my mind. sort of like dentists, I search out the older ones, they seem to know and do so much more than the young ones I've tried.

8:09 am

Trifioso

things here are a mixed bag. best news first - car.eeyore spoke to my dad yesterday!!!! his first meaningful interaction in a week!

8:09 am

Wolvie

YAY!! you must be walking on air

8:10 am

Trifioso

on the "legal front" no good news at all. They put their "big offer" on the table - state minimum child support, no alimony, no health insurance. Gee, thanks honey. Obviously I didn't accept that, but we are sort of at a stalemate now. I don't understand where his intolerable hatred of me comes from.

8:11 am

Wolvie

wow - that is bad news Trif. not too cool, especially given the kids

8:11 am

Trifioso

yes, I am quite happy about my dad. I am going to try to sneak down and see him today. Probably will do what I did last time - bring a book to read to him, and some music for him to listen to, even if he is not aware when I am there. Knowing he was awake for a little while is such balm to the soul though

8:12 am

Judi

Let's not forget that some divorce lawyers are major assholes, too. I know. I used to work with one.

8:12 am

crosshair

reminds me,must call my da..brb

8:12 am

Wolvie

I know it is Trif. I am glad that he has made that progress

8:12 am

Trifioso

yes, his lawyer is quite rude, judi. clearly not interested in settling, wants to get all he can out of us.

8:12 am

Soodle

Hi Trif - long time no see. Sorry about the hassle on the legal front.

8:13 am

Judi

That's their job, Trif. I don't know how they sleep at night.

8:13 am

Trifioso

I have asked mr. hate to meet me for drinks tonight, and a chat - hopefully he and I can come up with a better plan. if not, hey, at least I tried.

8:13 am

Trifioso

hello soodle! Spoke with ireland yesterday....how are you?

8:13 am

Wolvie

I hate rude people. You just know their life sucks and they want everyone else's to do so too

8:13 am

Trifioso

I hear you, wolvie. I hate undeserved arrogance.

good luck on that front trif. I hope he sees the light.

8:16 am

Wolvie

8:16 am

8:17 am

Michnick

I am not being insensitvie Soodle & Trif. I am burning up at your stories.

8:17 am

Trifioso

geesh, soodle, I am really sorry to hear that!

8:17 am

Soodle

It was the mid-life crisis to end all mid-life crises!! He had his own building business which went pear-shaped, couldn't stand the thought of the bank repossessing all his vehicles etc, so he just walked. Left me to pick up the pieces! What a guy!!

8:17 am

Soodle, do you have kids? How have they coped?

8:19 am

Soodle

8:19 am

8:20 am

Soodle

They are coping. But I often wonder how will it affect them in years to come.

8:20 am

Trifioso

8:20 am

Wolvie

but then... nope. I just won't do it. lol

8:21 am

Wolvie

oh ata - hope you get better soon. didn't know you were ill.

8:21 am

Occasional random drunk phone calls. He is totally paranoid. Reckons his e mail & phone is being tapped into. Any contact with him is very very negative. Cross - I am going to start a campaign for you to post photos of your decorations around Christmas!!!

8:23 am

Wolvie

Yeah - good idea soodle!

8:23 am

Trifioso

do you have national health care where you are soodle?

8:23 am

Isn't screaming mandatory in that situation?

9:05 am

I saw her before she went out for lunch.

9:05 am

9:17 am

Soodle

9:18 am

o-o

9:19 am

Judi

Fascinating! Although, I'm sure finding pickled druids is not for everyone.

9:19 am

rururocks

tell me moor about it soodle

9:19 am

Judi

Oh, for peat's sake.

9:19 am

FMitch

Im sure bog snorkeling was one of those 'games' invented in a pub after way too many beers.

9:20 am

bichon

No way would anyone under 80 in CT turn their heat on that warm Wolvie. We're tough old Yankees

2:33 pm

Wolvie

we were at 49 Bichon, 80 the day before. I lived in Mass for quite awhile, but 49 is a bit cool

2:34 pm

jesdraggon

50 out? crap, if you've got any kind of insulation, your house should still be warm :)

2:34 pm

2:34 pm

2:34 pm

he says i'm cold-hearted and evil, though... so maybe you don't wanna go that route

2:35 pm

Wolvie

no fun unless its cool, eh? lol

2:35 pm

bichon

49 is cool to walk outside, but inside our houses are very insulated and it's okay. But, it's been in the lower 30's at night and 40's during the day. It's what you get used to I guess

2:35 pm

Wolvie

my Mom complains a lot if the house gets below 63.

2:35 pm

jesdraggon

not directly, BR. We are currently studying the new understanding of the way the brain processes and integrates new information. And talking about the history of U.S. education (1820s-1840s) and doing specific workshops in teaching techniques... my problem is integrating all these rather distinct areas into some coherent form.

8:39 pm

stidmama

Hey feather -- I'll grade your papers if you'll write mine...

8:39 pm

Hi Min. Still no pic of YOU then? LOL

10:13 pm

Minveryork

Hello dcseain! How are you? I was playing some Pinball

10:13 pm

Carolryberg

way to go dan2bit

10:13 pm

jmcnrick

yeah I think I am bagging it. I would probably end up asking for a clue to every last word here and I am thinking I would rather go to sleep

10:13 pm

dcseain

sweet dreams, jmc

10:13 pm

Carolryberg

Sleep sounds like a good idea. Goodnight everyone

10:13 pm

Minveryork

Today the person in my profile has the same name as me, so it is sort of me.It's first my name, not my face

10:14 pm

Jacula

jmc - if sleep is what you want then go for it!

10:14 pm

jmcnrick

bye all

10:14 pm

Jacula

Goodnight Carol, too.

10:14 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye Carolryberg! I'll see you tomorrow in the log

Nef

hi Min

10:15 pm

Minveryork

Hello Nef! We got snow today. Did we beat Minnesota

10:15 pm

Jacula

If find it quite scary to see the bug-eyed and over eager Fergie in the chog tonight. (Sorry Min!)

10:16 pm

Nef

We had snow last week on 2 different nights, but that didn't last

10:16 pm

Minveryork

Well tomorrow I will have an icon clue for that theme

10:16 pm

Minveryork

It probably didn't last because it made it's way to NY

10:17 pm

Jacula

Thing about SF is that she got into debt and more or less had to get herself out of it but thinks she really knows what it is to be 'poor' and how she can help 'real poor people' get out of debt. PSHAW! (There's an old upper class English exclamation for you!)

10:17 pm

Nef

that's probably true

10:19 pm

Jacula

No probabability about it, Nef.

10:19 pm

Jacula

Excuse the stutter, it's due to babbling. LOL

10:20 pm

Nef

Jac, I'm really SLOW tonight and was responding to Min's statement about snow not lasting because it went to NY.

10:22 pm

Nef

I probably shouldn't even be in the chog tonight because I am so slow.

10:22 pm

dcseain

this one is slow, argeed

10:25 pm

Jacula

Well, if you need any clues be quick and ask, 'cos it's 4.25am here and I may well zzz again soon.

10:27 pm

Nef

okay, what a clue for that bottom row A please?

10:27 pm

Jacula

ur8 = mycology word for the rust sporeson fruit. U + scarlet + hairy-nosed dolphin Babblet.

10:28 pm

Jacula

Heck! Now which one was it?

10:28 pm

harpjane

jac, you are such a night owl!

10:29 pm

harpjane

we figured out the bottom row a this morning, which one do you need nef?

10:29 pm

Minveryork

Hi harpjane! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

10:30 pm

Jacula

I know Harp, hence my net nick. 'Things' have been keeping me restless lately, like new info on the saga of stepdaughter's journey in life leading her to live with us (me and her Dad).

10:30 pm

harpjane

good min, we've had snow for a week now lol

10:30 pm

Nef

Oh dear. I already have the right one, I didn't *see* that one. I need the one on the bottom row left

10:31 pm

harpjane

let me ponder that nef, see if i can figure it out

10:31 pm

Jacula

I just do the grid randomly and don't notice where the words stem from. I guess I could work it out, having done the grid, but...

10:31 pm

harpjane

try at5/10, part of a room or the heart

10:32 pm

o-o

am + abbr for des moines' state

10:33 pm

Nef

harp, where do you live? In Msla? if you've had snow for a week, isn't that awful early for you?

10:33 pm

harpjane

yes it is a bit early, it's pretty much all melted now. i'm 50 miles south of missoula in Hamilton

10:33 pm

Jacula

Which Babbler is it that works it out mathematically and asks for clues that way? I'm a poet and a writer, not a mathematician.

10:34 pm

Nef

BR had the correct word for that A; but I thank you also for that clue Harp as I didn't have it yet

10:34 pm

Nef

Is Hamilton at a higher elevation?

10:35 pm

harpjane

yes a bit higher, not much

10:36 pm

Jacula

Oh, I remember, it's Hurshy.

10:36 pm

harpjane

last Friday I had to push HARD to open the front door because of the snodrift on the porch

10:36 pm

Nef

I have siblings in Missoula and Helena; they are continually telling me it's warmer out there (I'm in the Twin Cities)

10:37 pm

Jacula

She reminds me of 'Brennan' from the tv series 'Bones'. as does my only son.

10:39 pm

Jacula

Life's strange, isn't it? My long-for first child, after the one I lost, turned out to be a computer personified and my daughter, who I'd also longed for and named before I met her (like I did with my son) is the total opposite; far too emotional sometimes.

10:41 pm

Nef

Life IS strange, Jac. Good thing we can't forsee the future, isn't it?

10:41 pm

Jacula

And now I also have my 14-yr-old stedaughter to try to understand. Ain't life fun?

10:41 pm

Jacula

Nef - it sure is!

10:42 pm

Jacula

Whole new set of 'bogeymen' to understand re stepdaughter, though.

10:44 pm

Nef

I'm trying to adjust to a mentally ill daughter-in-law myself, Jacula. Somehow we have to learn a new way of communicating with these strange new family members

10:45 pm

harpjane

di6?

10:46 pm

Jacula

IF the teachers, child protection agency. police HAD been told the latest bit of information re her Mum's b/f, he'd now be serving a custodial sentence. Thing is, her Mum DID know the info, that's what causd her to disappear into thin air for 10 days befor coming back and deciding to stay with her b/f and forsake/betray her only child.

10:47 pm

o-o

tom, dic* and harry; + mashed po***oes

10:47 pm

Jacula

Harp - di6 - political word for a harsh regime.

10:47 pm

harpjane

thanks, or a penis tattoo?

10:48 pm

dcseain

danke, Jacula

10:48 pm

Jacula

Nef -((hugs))x

10:48 pm

dcseain

Nef, best with it. It's hard, the getting to know.

10:48 pm

Nef

Thanks, Jac. Same to you

10:48 pm

Nef

Harp, I like your clue!

10:50 pm

Jacula

The only penis tatto worth having, if you are to show it in full is Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwl
lllantysiliogogogoch

10:50 pm

Nef

Seain, it is hard to do. Have you had to deal with that type of a situation before? It's like 2 steps forward, 3 steps back

10:51 pm

dcseain

oh, yes. His whole family was there for the surgery. He listed me as primary POC. And his family dynamic entirely unlike either side of my family. We're MUCH more stoic.

10:52 pm

dcseain

with all of us stressed, no fun

10:52 pm

Jacula

family dymanics. Yup, that is the main difference, I'd say.

10:52 pm

Nef

and is Tom stoic or more emotional?

10:53 pm

Jacula

My family favours black humour, but some don't underrstand that.

10:53 pm

dcseain

more stoic than they are

10:53 pm

cybernan

hi everyone -- finally home again -- feel like we've been away for months!

10:53 pm

dcseain

oh, but that's on of the best kinds, jac. but you speak truth

10:54 pm

dcseain

welcome, nan

10:54 pm

Nef

then that's a blessing, isn't it? It's also why he chose you as his POA

10:54 pm

Jacula

seain, it's the oly way to go when life looks bleak!

10:54 pm

dcseain

that, and 3 months of drilling about his issues and desires :)

10:55 pm

dcseain

agreed, jac

10:55 pm

Nef

hi nan. Where have you been?

10:55 pm

Jacula

Hi cybernan.

10:56 pm

cybernan

we were in Europe for 6 weeks, nef, home for one week when my husband was airlifted to Victoria for a quintuple bi-pass -- just got back home today.

10:57 pm

Nef

LOL, Seain! I think most nurses are like that. I *think* my Living Will is about 5 pages longer than anyone else's I've ever seen. I'd suspect Tom's done the same with his

10:57 pm

dcseain

is he doing alright now, Nan? How stressful

10:57 pm

cybernan

yes -- he is doing really well considering that his surgery was just 11 days ago.

10:58 pm

Nef

Sorry to hear that Nan; but I

10:58 pm

harpjane

how are you seain?

10:58 pm

Nef

m glad he's doing okay

10:58 pm

Jacula

What might I say to my stepdaughter, who I caught stirring ametal spoon around in the water soaking the remains of a sausage pasta meal from this evening? 'Don't ruin my non-stick pan, those big deep ones are hard to find these days!' Or maybe, 'STOP strangling my toothpaste tube! You're driving me mad!'

11:00 pm

Nef

Jac, buy her her own tube of toothpaste. Don't sweat the small stuff.

11:00 pm

Jacula

I guess I should do a Last Will & T soon,since family life got more complicated.

11:01 pm

dcseain

i'm well, jane, thank you. I've an interview tomorrow, to top off an already stressful week. :)

11:01 pm

Jacula

Nef - I intend to! But that might not stop her driving me and her Dad (we both have different tubes) mad anyway by 'trying to share and be Part of the Family', as she perceives it.

11:02 pm

Nef

Oh, my Seain! You should be sleeping so you will be on top of your game tomorrow

11:02 pm

harpjane

interview for....?

11:02 pm

dcseain

it's at 13, i'll be fine :)

11:03 pm

dcseain

a position of some strip with Chandler Hill Partners, who seem to be a headhunter/placement agency.

11:03 pm

dcseain

i think it's an intake interview

11:04 pm

harpjane

dr5/20?

11:05 pm

Nef

to have a glass of H2O

11:05 pm

harpjane

thanks

11:08 pm

Nef

Jac, sit down with her and talk to her; I was 15 when I was forced to live with my 26 y/o step mother and father. Tell her The Rules, find out what's she's used to and be sure and let her know what's permitted or not'
But be sure to let her know you care

11:09 pm

dcseain

last ta6, pls?

11:09 pm

Jacula

In truth, there's Me and Her Dad (we're a couple) annd there are my 2 kids (22 and 25 years old). Youngest has left home and eldest intends to remain at home 'cos his Mother's 'a great cook'. Neither has ever accepted the fact that me and their Dad won't get back together again in the end. Neither has accepted their Dad's 'new' g/f as his wife (they marrid 6 years ago) OR as their stepmother. Neither sees eitherof her daughters as their stepsisters. What chance does my b/f's daughter have when she asks them, 'Do you see me as a sister, step-sister or just your Mum's b'f's daughhter?' I do wish she wouldn't kep asking us all things like that.

11:10 pm

Nef

sorry, Seain, I don't have it yet

11:10 pm

Jacula

Nef - she knows I care.

11:10 pm

Jacula

But she keeps asking if I love her.

11:11 pm

harpjane

seain bye bye and 3rd note of a scale

11:11 pm

Nef

and that is what she needs. She sounds very alone.

11:11 pm

Jacula

Like Bones' Brennan, I'm an honest person, and so I remain silent when she asks me that. I don't love easy.

11:11 pm

dcseain

ah, the japanese matt :)

11:22 pm

Nef

YAY, Harp!!!!! WTG!!!!!!

11:22 pm

dcseain

not when the situation's that close, it doesn't usually in my experience, jac

11:23 pm

Jacula

Probably because it's a proper noun, bekki.

11:23 pm

Jacula

dcs - thanks for your support.

11:24 pm

Nef

Jac, why don't you like her?

11:25 pm

dcseain

a guess a KA7 is a follower of he Governor of Virginia ;)

11:25 pm

Jacula

I didn't say I don't like her, Nef, I said I don't love her.

11:26 pm

dcseain

I, not a (I accidentally wrote in dialect)

11:27 pm

Nef

but do you like her? I'm not getting what it is that bothers you so much about her?

11:27 pm

Jacula

If I can't 'take to her', there's probably a reason why, but I don't know what that is yet.

11:27 pm

mrpresident

jac, is better to be honest and forthright.

11:28 pm

Jacula

I try to be circumspect, MrP.

11:28 pm

dcseain

my mother finds my sister's elder son hard to like, mostly due to his total and complete lack of empathy

11:28 pm

cybernan

di 6, please?

11:28 pm

Jacula

I think, maybe, she is too like her mother?

11:29 pm

mrpresident

lack of empathy ... yep, my dad has that with my son.

11:29 pm

dcseain

11:29 pm

Jacula

It's not her fault that she looks and sounds like her, though.

11:29 pm

dcseain

oops

11:29 pm

Jacula

Or that she has ingrained stupid faults from her...

11:29 pm

Nef

thanks Seain! ;-)

11:30 pm

Jacula

I just need time, as does she, to integrate into each other's psyche and lifestyle.

11:30 pm

dcseain

may that it happens, jac

11:31 pm

Jacula

AndI also need to see that, due to her being mostly ignored as a small child, she's naive in some ways and I need to bring her up to speed, if my kids aren't doing it for me.

11:31 pm

Nef

please tell her that, Jac. She's just a child who doesn't know her face from her feet; and what she needs is some honesty and love

11:32 pm

Jacula

Neff - it's being done. Don't worry.

11:33 pm

11:36 pm

Jacula

It's hard sometimes when I see how quick and intelligent my own kids are and how 'slow' she seems to be. But my kid make up for my menopausal impatience at suddenly having a kid I never asked for again, by being kind a patient with her and they make me proud of them.

11:37 pm

Nef

Well, I'm falling asleep here; so before I fall out of my chair again; I'm going toquit and go to bed

11:37 pm

If I had any pet bunnies living, we would all be staring at you in an accusatory fashion.

11:42 pm

Jacula

Or do I mean accusing? LOL

11:42 pm

dcseain

Bunbun does that to me. And he head-butts me with teeth if i offer him celery

11:43 pm

Does he not like cerery then?
