5:59 am

herinfernallady

errr groan bad snow

6:01 am

Andree

the only snow and ice i want to see is watching the olympics

6:02 am

KatieMcG

I know just how you feel Andree, I took photos for Diem yesterday - going to ask if he wants some of ours lol

6:02 am

herinfernallady

I can't watch the Olympics I want to strangle the commentary

6:08 am

bubba218

gr7= g + r4,4 +opp of close is op**

6:08 am

Andree

i agree herin, its bad but the skating etc is so worth watching. eddie mcguire is so the wrong person for this job

6:09 am

herinfernallady

I read his homophobic comments and what the hell Mike Malloy isn't even a sports commentator he is a comedian. It is embarising

6:17 am

lynxxx

hi, back after the mens figure skating

6:18 am

Andree

it was great wasn't it

6:18 am

lynxxx

Certainly was, best one won too

6:19 am

herinfernallady

Lynxx how is Stewart and ANdree how is Hugo?

6:20 am

redturtlehead

Good morning.

6:20 am

lynxxx

Good, sound asleep - as usual

6:20 am

lynxxx

hi Red

6:20 am

herinfernallady

HI Red

6:20 am

herinfernallady

How old is Stewart?

6:21 am

redturtlehead

i missed the skating but was pleased to see that evan won!

6:22 am

lynxxx

nearly 5 actually

6:22 am

Andree

hi red, pity to miss it, was a great show

6:22 am

Andree

herin hugo is fine, was desexed on monday

6:23 am

herinfernallady

Does he have his Cone head?

6:23 am

redturtlehead

I set up the air bed in the Living room with the tv and then of course fell asleep, woke at 2 to see some skelton sliding...

6:23 am

rubyfoo

did anybody mention snow? lol it is "slushing" out now, yuck

6:24 am

herinfernallady

o sod 42 d words

6:25 am

rubyfoo

the French commentary is even worse; because the athletes are mostly so poor, they are constantly interviewing the losers and airing their lame excuses. Brian Joubert is a big embarrassment to everybody, especially his mother, I think

6:25 am

redturtlehead

LOL Herin, I have 11...

6:25 am

redturtlehead

Hi RUby!

6:25 am

Andree

no, didn't need it, i didn't tell him he had had an operation

6:25 am

rubyfoo

hi redt!

6:26 am

rubyfoo

has his bark changed?

6:26 am

herinfernallady

Andree that is cute

6:26 am

Andree

lol ruby not yet

6:27 am

rubyfoo

Max, who was never fixed, has a very high voice for his size, much higher than Ruby

6:27 am

rubyfoo

we never fixed our previous male, either, I think chows don't have a clue about that stuff

6:28 am

rubyfoo

evidently when they want to breed them, they have to muzzle the females who get very nasty!

6:28 am

herinfernallady

My friend has 2 dogs not desexed. One male one female. He has never ever tried. The first time she bit him on the bits and told him off

6:28 am

Andree

really funny that he didn't seem to notice other than the fact that he spent the day at the vets, greeted me happily and has not seemed to have noticed the wound, vet gave me 5 pain tablets which i gave him over 2 days

6:29 am

rubyfoo

raofl

6:29 am

lynxxx

well if the boys don't know what they are doing, no wonder the girls get nasty

6:29 am

herinfernallady

Andree you are very lucky that he didn't react at all

6:30 am

rubyfoo

female chows are much bolder than the males; both of our males have been really meek except when other dogs attack. Then, it's another story

6:30 am

Andree

everyone to their own but i feel unless a dog is being shown or bred from they should be desexed

6:30 am

redturtlehead

it does reduce the risk of cancers, especially for girls.

6:31 am

rubyfoo

we don't have to worry about ours because there are no females in the neighborhood and Ruby is fixed

6:31 am

rubyfoo

really? I didn't know that

6:31 am

lynxxx

Agreed Andree...and it does make them better pets

6:32 am

redturtlehead

It really does reduce the risk, and it reduces things like roaming behavior and some other unwanted aggressive behaviors.

6:33 am

lynxxx

...and its cheaper for the council dog registration too!

6:33 am

Andree

glad i didn't know that red, my darling springer spaniel nearly 20 years ago died of cancer aged 7

6:33 am

rubyfoo

fortunately, we haven't had any problems with our dogs as the yard is totally enclosed.

6:34 am

Andree

thats something i must do now lynxxx, register with council

6:34 am

redturtlehead

It only reduces the risk of things like Ovarian cancer, or some such, not other cancers.

6:34 am

rubyfoo

we don't register dogs here but pitbulls and staffordshire terriers and, I think, rottweilers, have to be muzzled

6:34 am

rubyfoo

see you later, mail calls

6:35 am

redturtlehead

thats sort of unfortunate ruby, some very nice dogs I have met are rotties and pitties.

6:35 am

herinfernallady

My bfs dog was never fixed. She was err ambisexual (?)

6:35 am

rubyfoo

I think both breeds are beautiful and have known some nice ones, except for one rottweiler who had a crush on me and outweighed me by about 40 lbs.

6:36 am

rubyfoo

I thought it was funny when he tried to cuddle, but nobody else did!

6:36 am

redturtlehead

I have to admit a bit of a fondness for Rotts, though I have met some mean ones.

6:36 am

rubyfoo

the only mean dogs I've ever know were, believe it or not, yellow labs. But I think it was the owners' faults

6:37 am

redturtlehead

I actually completly believe that. They are such high energy dogs if not properly trained and well exercised, problems can occur

6:37 am

rubyfoo

they attacked our gentle male, Rufus, and he took them down in a heartbeat, but didn't hurt them. They just slunk away

6:37 am

Andree

anyhow its done now and i'm glad its over, stitches will come out in a couple of days and we will both forget it ever happened, i am sure it will make him a better pet

6:38 am

Andree

don't know how he was perfect already, lol

6:38 am

rubyfoo

I was surprised as I thought that labs were totally gentle and trustworth

6:38 am

redturtlehead

He is a very cute dog Andree.

6:38 am

lynxxx

spoken like a new mum

6:38 am

rubyfoo

the vet who fixed Ruby left a very nasty wide scar, but she's never had any trouble with it

6:38 am

herinfernallady

happy dance found vegan cream

6:39 am

redturtlehead

Well, we had a chocolate lab, he was very friendly but if not properly exersised he was a nut in the house, once eating an entire newel post....

6:39 am

rubyfoo

see you later, put the happy dance on youtube!

6:40 am

rubyfoo

years ago, I had a friend with a black lab who used to swim with me. As I dog paddle, he probably thought I was just some funny-looking little dog

6:40 am

rubyfoo

male chows sleep about 26 hours a day!

6:41 am

redturtlehead

I have not had very good experiences with chows, I admit...but they are stunning in appearance.

6:42 am

rubyfoo

again, I think it's bad owners. I've known a lot of them and not one of them has been the least bit nasty, but they are very protective of me, and that's a good thing

6:43 am

redturtlehead

The one I had a lot of experience with was overprotective of owner. I was doing home health, and for several visits the dog would not let me near the owner.. and tried to bite me, despite the owner giving all the "Ok" signals

6:43 am

redturtlehead

I think any dog is really a product of owners. the worst bite I have ever gotten was from a chihuahua. the family came to pick her up and were also afraid of the dog!

6:44 am

rubyfoo

I can understand your not liking them, then, they can look very scary -- huge teeth in black gums!

6:44 am

redturtlehead

they are however, very fluffy...

6:44 am

rubyfoo

but if they swallow something bad, I can always just put my hand in their mouths and remove it, never a problem

6:45 am

rubyfoo

I don't like chihuahuas and that is the only dog my dil likes. Poor son!

6:45 am

herinfernallady

My friends dog has a gapping maw and you can very easily put your hand in his mouth to get something bad out

6:45 am

rubyfoo

TTYL

6:45 am

redturtlehead

I dont liek chihuahuas and I dislike Yorkies a lot...

6:46 am

rubyfoo

me, too, on yorkies, they remind me of what they are trained to kill, rats!

6:46 am

rubyfoo

I prefer rats!

6:46 am

redturtlehead

will take anything excpt spiders over rats!

6:47 am

rubyfoo

I prefer spiders to yorkies and chihuahuas!!

6:47 am

rubyfoo

can you imagine carrying your dog around in your handbag?

6:47 am

redturtlehead

there are some nice ones out there...

6:48 am

redturtlehead

I dont think the dogs like being in the handbags!

8:21 am

bichon

But, there's grandkids

8:21 am

Lindrickway

It is scary Bichon, especially as I am only 44!

8:21 am

Mom

no grandkids here or daughter-in-laws even

8:22 am

bichon

I've got 3 grands, and it is divine

8:22 am

evanonut

poor momzoid, they are depriving you

Judi

8:23 am

Mom

8:23 am

Lindrickway

later Judi

8:24 am

evanonut

almost as excited as the soon to be aunt

8:24 am

Mom

that is right... I see this one will be spoiled

8:24 am

Mom

do they live nearby?

8:25 am

evanonut

the first always is correct?

8:25 am

evanonut

actually, my parents and brothers all live across the road from one another, i'm the farthest at 15 minutes away

8:25 am

Mom

yes I believe they are

8:25 am

Mom

I am glad our first was not the first grandchild on either side

8:26 am

evanonut

eh, i'd want to be the first so i could hand it off to as many hands as possible, i don't like the things until their old enough for me to lie to

8:27 am

evanonut

they're....yeesh

8:27 am

Mom

that is so cool, Nutty.

8:27 am

Mom

oh Nutty.

8:27 am

evanonut

didn't i ever mention that i lack that maternal instinct?

8:27 am

bichon

I love them when they're little. They're never naughty

8:28 am

Mom

no, I believe you left that out.

8:28 am

evanonut

no, they just scream and cry and shit their pants

8:28 am

Mom

5 was the perfect age for me. They still needed you but could wipe their own butts.

8:28 am

evanonut

yep, and you can make up stories and they'll believe you

8:29 am

Mom

their dad did that. He would read them stories and when they could read and went to read them by theirselves, they would come and say that isn't how dad read it

8:30 am

periwinkle

bye for now

8:30 am

Mom

bye bye Peri, have a delightful birthday

8:30 am

evanonut

yep, i'd be like calvin's dad, if its easier to lie...lie

8:30 am

evanonut

ta ta peripoo

8:30 am

Mom

lol

8:31 am

evanonut

don't go in the basement - - - why? - - - because there are ghosts down there

8:31 am

evanonut

problem solved

8:31 am

Mom

it sticks with them too. When Shay was in college they had to bring in their favorite childhood book. Shay did and he read it exactly like his dad read it to them.

8:32 am

Mom

cracked the class up

8:32 am

evanonut

as it should be!

8:32 am

Mom

I don't think you would do that Nutty

8:32 am

evanonut

already did

8:32 am

Mom

you would make a great mom. There would never be a dull moment

8:33 am

evanonut

not me, unless i adopt some day...or have an "oops"

8:33 am

Mom

yours would be the house all the kids would flock to

8:33 am

evanonut

lord spare me from such a fate

8:34 am

Mom

:)

8:34 am

evanonut

i have an oops and your on sitter duty mom

8:34 am

Mom

Fine by me Nutty

8:35 am

Mom

the house is way too quiet

8:35 am

evanonut

i might drop them and disappear, come back when college is paid for

8:36 am

Mom

wow, think what college will cost by then. It is already just shy of $4,000 a semester now

8:36 am

redturtlehead

Mom thats not too bad...

8:36 am

Mom

them??? our you planning on "oops" and "oops"

8:36 am

evanonut

lol, you have to tell me?

8:36 am

evanonut

6 classes, 10k

8:37 am

Mom

not for a public college.

8:37 am

evanonut

my luck the oops would be twins

8:37 am

Mom

6 classes?

8:37 am

SeaSpray

my daughters was twice that mom and that included scholarships

8:37 am

evanonut

6 classes, 10k, correct

8:37 am

Mom

oh geez, SeaSpray

8:38 am

Mom

Nutty, the octomom :)

8:38 am

SeaSpray

yes, but did the happy dance last may after 5 years

8:38 am

evanonut

maybe its 7? Momzoid, you keep that up and i'm coming down and duct taping your mouth, and you KNOW i have the time to do it right now

8:38 am

redturtlehead

My college was quite expensive. but Nursing school was rather inexpensive, and it ne** me my income....

8:38 am

Mom

we may get to do the happy dance this December.

8:39 am

Mom

Dad won't let you do that.

8:39 am

SeaSpray

daughter got her BSN red, so it was worth it

8:39 am

Mom

must be the part of the country that you all live in

8:39 am

evanonut

i bet he'd help me, if i asked very nicely

8:39 am

Mom

he probably would

8:39 am

redturtlehead

I also have a BSN. Unfortunately it makes very little difference here in FLorida that I have it.

8:40 am

evanonut

yep...probably undo you when i left though, the sneak

8:40 am

Mom

what is a BSN?

8:40 am

Mom

he would not take it off gently either, he would just let it rip

8:40 am

SeaSpray

Bachelors in Nursing mom

8:40 am

evanonut

big snotty nose

8:40 am

redturtlehead

A Bachelors. You can become a Registered nurse in a variety of ways, you can go to a diploma school or get an associates or get a BSN...

8:40 am

Mom

thank you Sea

8:41 am

SeaSpray

yw

8:41 am

Mom

you can get an associate degree in nursing? didn't know that

8:41 am

evanonut

big snotty nose sounds funner

8:41 am

evanonut

so whats the diff between that and registered nurse, and physicians assistant?

8:41 am

redturtlehead

You can even get a diploma, no degree, at a few remaining schools in the country. The RN's from diploma programs tend to be very very good however.

8:42 am

Mom

had no idea, Red

8:42 am

redturtlehead

A PA is what is called a Mid Level provider, like a Nurse Practitioner, they can prescribe and see patients like a Physician. Their ability to practice depends on the state.

8:43 am

Mom

we have Nurse Practitioners here

8:43 am

SeaSpray

my daughter said after 5 years she was finished lol

8:43 am

evanonut

oh... what doesn't a pa know?

8:43 am

Mom

both of ours would like to go and get their masters

8:43 am

SeaSpray

now she is planning a wedding

8:43 am

redturtlehead

Personally, I am always a little worried about some PA's. They have a lot less education than a Physician.

8:43 am

Mom

that is exciting SeaSpray.

8:44 am

SeaSpray

we will be broke forever

8:44 am

Mom

yes, it seems like it is a production now to get married.

8:44 am

SeaSpray

yes mom, we went wedding gown shopping on Tuesday, it was her birthday

8:44 am

Mom

We did the whole shabang for around $2000.

8:44 am

evanonut

wait, where did weddings come in?....ohi see....sea

8:44 am

Mom

of course that was 27 years ago

8:45 am

SeaSpray

its a production for everything these days

8:45 am

ADHDWordLover

8:45 am

Mom

hi ADHD

8:45 am

redturtlehead

It really is an event- weddings that is!

8:45 am

evanonut

i stayed out of wedding planning too much, i was more concerned about the house...hullo thar adhd!

8:45 am

SeaSpray

they just built a house eva

8:45 am

evanonut

momzoid was giving me the old guilt trip about not being in babble, so here i am

8:46 am

ADHDWordLover

8:46 am

Mom

8:46 am

ADHDWordLover

hi mom

8:46 am

Mom

it was not a guilt trip. All I said was I missed seeing you in babble

8:46 am

SeaSpray

sounds like it was a great time mom

8:46 am

ADHDWordLover

PAs can prescribe class3 drugs, APRNs can only prescribe things like antibiotics and such

8:46 am

evanonut

if the house is already built, kudos to them, its a right pain in the @ss to keep on a contractor and make wedding decisions

8:47 am

evanonut

lol momzoid...that's not a guilt trip? i'm actually here cause i took a mental health day

8:47 am

Mom

it was indeed

8:47 am

SeaSpray

yes, house is done, now doing the wedding planning

8:47 am

Mom

BabbleRabble

The princess and the pea

10:38 am

Makes my back hurt just to think about it. And little black sambo! So politially incorrect, but I love it.

10:38 am

Gail

Ferdinand the bull.

10:38 am

BabbleRabble

and ring around the rosey

10:39 am

Gail

Little Lulu comic books.

10:39 am

helensgirlkid

It was my favourite book for a whole winter - one of those that got read two or three times by my mother until she said enough, sending me across tthe room for my father to read it two or three times! Then I got the book out to read to my daughter and was horrified at the racism!

10:40 am

helensgirlkid

Didn't see any of that when I was little - envied Sambo so much - Purple Shoes! The glory of it. Would I have been allowed purple shoes - of course not.

10:41 am

BabbleRabble

Yep, long time ago

10:41 am

helensgirlkid

Went on to Ferdinand the Bull and A book about a penguin who discovered how to slide.

10:41 am

Gail

Me, too! I thought he was wonderful!

10:42 am

Gail

The original Nancy Drew books were MUCH more racist! Terrible, but those were the times.

10:42 am

helensgirlkid

So clever - and marvellous that the tiger turned into butter.

10:43 am

Gail

I can see the illustrations from those books in my head. So great. I loved to read the old books to my kids and see their delight in the marvelous artwork.

10:43 am

ADHDWordLover

glancing at chat... remembering "little black sambo"

10:43 am

BabbleRabble

Unfortunately, many of the stereotypes remain.

10:43 am

sciencegeek

I have that original Sambo here at the house

10:44 am

ADHDWordLover

ah my Nancy Drews... with Ned and Bess

10:44 am

Cherrypop

BabbleRabble

where oh where is little ???? where oh where can she be? how on ??? lets go find her come one ??? lets go find here ... way down yonder in the paw paw patch

10:46 am

Gail

and George and her wonderful Dad who bought her new roadsters. The books that have been reprinted have statements in them about the racism. All the bad guys were either black or Jewish and the bad women were fat. Very blatent.

10:46 am

Gail

Bo-Peep, of course.

10:46 am

ADHDWordLover

sad... i wasn't raised to see color; my favorite babysitters as a kid were two friends Angela and Madeline, aged 70 and 75. when i saw them at the bottom of my driveway one day after school, i excitedly raced down and threw my arms around them giving kisses. the next day i was ridiculed for kissing a negro... horrible

10:47 am

ADHDWordLover

yeah gail

10:47 am

BabbleRabble

yep, sad

10:48 am

Gail

I should spell blatant right, right?

10:50 am

Gail

12:20 pm

rubyfoo

I hate stuff like that; there was something like that in Flashpoint last night, season one, episode 2, where a guy was speeding his daughter to the ER but the Canadian cop guided him in!

12:21 pm

ADHDWordLover

he ticketed you???

12:21 pm

crosshair

we are a more tolerant people;))))

12:22 pm

ADHDWordLover

there are some cops that are just on power trips

12:22 pm

rubyfoo

do you need a lawyer? I would fight it and sue for damages!

12:22 pm

ADHDWordLover

i don't think it has anything to do w/tolerance crossie, just some idiot cop who can get away w/being an idiot

12:23 pm

rururocks

did he leave a trail of donuts on the way?

12:23 pm

crosshair

though we have bad ones as well,if yiu are in the area,drive AROUND Brandon Manito
ba lol

12:24 pm

rubyfoo

the idea that he would handcuff you outside the emergency room is just ourageous! I am angry on your behalf!

12:25 pm

ADHDWordLover

i think you speak for all of us ruby!

12:27 pm

rubyfoo

except I miswrote outrageous (blushing),; it's enough to make you move to France where they don't enforce the laws......

12:28 pm

rubyfoo

some dopey woman called a local policeman names after he gave her a parking ticket, so he called in the Gendarmes (national police) and they gave her 4 tickets and took her to jail

12:29 pm

rubyfoo

but that seems more in line with correct behavior, n'est-ce pas?

12:29 pm

Merk

12:29 pm

12:33 pm

Mudd

Wow! ADHDWordLover sure knows how to respond and make a person feel good ... real motivator for me today.

12:33 pm

rubyfoo

you need to reed Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer for the soupcan phones! Read it, it will both break your heart and make you happy

12:34 pm

rubyfoo

I've read it 3X so far, and it is one of the best things ever

12:34 pm

Mudd

On my 'to do' list then

12:35 pm

Dorens

me too! did you read history of love by his wife? alison something. i think maybe kraus.. anyway, if you liked his, you'll like hers

12:35 pm

rubyfoo

I don't recommend many books (more likely to recommend movies), but it's a wonderful book

12:35 pm

rubyfoo

Yes, Yes!

12:35 pm

rubyfoo

Dorens, OMG

12:35 pm

Dorens

now back to work (was just stealing a couple of minutes to enter words... four hour drive to boston and then grandchildren to play with later, don't know if I'll finish)

12:35 pm

rubyfoo

Alison Krauss

12:36 pm

rubyfoo

I keep sending the two books to friends and nobody really reacts

12:36 pm

Dorens

(you have the wrong friends, maybe?)

12:40 pm

rubyfoo

definitely must have the wrong friends. The two books totally stunned me

12:40 pm

crosshair

just read the review on that book,seems interesting

12:42 pm

rubyfoo

and Foer's other books, All Things Illuminated just arrived today. I'm saving it for a peaceful moment

12:43 pm

polly1958

Hello everyone,i'm new here.

12:43 pm

jmitch

sorry I got called away.....Boss in DC wanted to discuss the situation regarding my "arrest"....rumor mill!

12:43 pm

Dorens

all things illuminated was good, but didn't blow me away like extremely loud. . enjoy, and crossy, see if you can get them for your reading machine... fun books, even tho some grave subjects

12:44 pm

rubyfoo

did you like the History of Love as much, Dorens?

12:44 pm

rubyfoo

I read it through twice in succession as I was interrupted in the first reading numerous times

12:44 pm

crosshair

lol the review leads me to think it will be a tear jearker for the mrs

12:44 pm

rubyfoo

no, I don't think so, crossy

12:45 pm

Dorens

liked it a lot, but not as much, no.
and yes, tearjerker to an extent, but fascinating in other ways

12:45 pm

rubyfoo

I cried reading both books, but that's different, I think, as I'm from NY

12:46 pm

Dorens

(born in NYC, went to NYU, live 40 minutes from George Washington Bridge, daughter lives in Brooklyn. saw world trade center on way to work

12:46 pm

rubyfoo

Krauss's ability to speak in other voices knocked me out. My husband didn't like either book very much, talk about choosing your friends more carefully.....

1:48 pm

bichon

se 8

1:48 pm

bichon

it is another form of the se 6/18 before it

1:49 pm

se 8? -- xe must be a 7 then

1:49 pm

ChrissieDee

that's a 7 nan

1:54 pm

ChrissieDee

1:54 pm

cybernan

191 down -- time for me to head to the list I think

1:54 pm

LuvWordGames

the se 6/18 is se + thorny flower but change the last letter to another vowel. I don't have the 8 that builds off it yet tho

1:55 pm

ChrissieDee

ends in sometimes vowel Luv

1:55 pm

Soodlebum

The ending of that 8 sounds like a big town - a capital of a country

1:55 pm

bichon

it's a different form of the same word, it's a noun

went grocery shopping- friends are comming for dinner- the one who " can t be bothered with coupons"... i spent 200 bucks- then i gave the checker my store card... tghen i gave him the coupons that i spent 1 whole hour on with the shopping circular... i paid 127 bucks for the groceries.. got 7 bucks in coupons for the next trip and have 1.20 off a gallon on next tank of gas. figure i saved about 100 dollars altogether.... i will taske the time to do the coupon thing yessir!!

2:51 pm

dcseain

sammys, well done. back in the early 90s, i worked for a local discount grocer. Once a month, a woman came in early on a Thursday, and filled 5-7 carts of stuff. (we opened a register just for her) After coupons, she usually only spent about 70 dollars for all those cartful s of groceries.

2:51 pm

Christine

$100. for an hour's work - that's pretty good going.

3:40 pm

dcseain

my sister cooked on the grill this past tuesday for much the same reason, though she had to dig it out

3:40 pm

sammysmom

of course, we are eating it inside though

3:40 pm

3:41 pm

lbdawger

it's 35°F and although the sun is out, the wind is also bashing us. no cook outs here.

3:41 pm

redturtlehead

frankly it is too cold for that here...

3:41 pm

cybernan

interesting coverage during supper hour so hamburgs here -- anything we can eat in front of the set!

3:41 pm

lbdawger

welp, i better get my behinder moving. bbl

3:42 pm

redturtlehead

I wish they would interview more of the athletes that come knowing they have no medal chances. I think they must be very interesting people...

3:42 pm

redturtlehead

see you later lbd, I will probably still be here..

3:43 pm

dcseain

be well, lbd

3:44 pm

Good Enough

good point red. i'd like to hear from those athletes too.

3:46 pm

dcseain

great point, red

3:49 pm

redturtlehead

I really think especially for people who didnt make it out of the heats or something, it was still an experience. They still sacrificed quite a lot, and deserve a lot of respect.

3:49 pm

redturtlehead

anyone watch tiger woods??

3:50 pm

SeaSpray

yep red I did

3:50 pm

redturtlehead

I did not, but I am curious. I feel that this is a private thing.

3:50 pm

redturtlehead

what did you think sea?

3:51 pm

sciencegeek

did he cry?

3:52 pm

SeaSpray

I think he was sincere and that he did get caught up in the idea that he thought he was invincible, kinda like the movie stars and now realizes he isn't

3:52 pm

redturtlehead

His home is close to mine, but obviously not the same neighborhood!

3:53 pm

SeaSpray

he choked up once or twice, but all in all I think it was a heartfelt apology

3:53 pm

SeaSpray

but, I have always liked him, someone else may feel differently

3:54 pm

redturtlehead

I have actually no opinion about him, probably as I am not really about golf...I was amazed at the attention he generated!

3:55 pm

SeaSpray

I have played golf and he is wonderful to watch

3:55 pm

redturtlehead

He is a great athelete.

3:55 pm

MPittore

I think Tiger is sincere...we are all subject to make errors in our decisions but it takes alot to admit them especially so publically. I hope he and his wife can work things out and have a stronger better marriage.

3:56 pm

redturtlehead

but I would not blame ELin if she just left.

3:56 pm

redturtlehead

could I have a Y clue?

3:56 pm

MPittore

To stay is the harder/braver thing to do.

3:56 pm

SeaSpray

Yes, I thought it took a lot of courage to do what he did today, but then again the public expected it and if he wants to come back to golf he didn't have a choice really

3:57 pm

redturtlehead

I admit I would not stay with one who had that many affairs. I just would not. but it would be the harder thing to do.

3:58 pm

MPittore

I think the women he was with have a responsibility in this also....you know the old two to tango thing!

3:58 pm

redturtlehead

true. but all it takes is one to put a stop to it.

3:58 pm

SeaSpray

I think the women wanted money, period!

3:59 pm

SeaSpray

or they wouldn't have all come out of the closet

3:59 pm

4:00 pm

SeaSpray

i feel sure one of them did as she had scheduled some kind of press release and all of a sudden it was cancelled, pay off i guess

4:00 pm

redturtlehead

I am at 99. jmb is doing better than I.

4:00 pm

MPittore

Yes I once dated a man for a while and accidentally found out he was married when I called his house to cancel our date and his wife answered the phone...I was able to think quickly and told her her husband was trying to help my husband find a job and I was calling to tell him my husband was very ill...then when the guy called me I let him come over and let him have it and told him how hurtfull it was for his wife...I think I scarred the daylight out of him...

4:01 pm

SeaSpray

back later all, have fun

4:01 pm

redturtlehead

Yes, I think these things happen unfortunately more often than we expect.

4:02 pm

jmbdobie2

don't worry red - you wil be past me soon!

4:02 pm

MPittore

I only have 202 left *grin*

4:02 pm

kc8501

yeah it does. One odd thing I found when dealing with my husbands affair is that it happens a LOT more than people think... and not just because the cheater is just lookign to cat around

4:03 pm

Scrabbler, quick medical question...can I head off a UTI with cranberry juice and lots of water?

4:21 pm

Good Enough

Arg! i have the most wonderful perfect dog in the world except if she vomits it is always always on the carpet!

4:22 pm

Scrabbler

You would ne4 to drink gallons of cranberry juice to decrease your urine pH. Just drink tons of fluids so that you have dilute urine, and pee a lot.

4:22 pm

Gehenna79

jellen: if you are quick enough and that cranberry juice has no sugar, it might save it

4:22 pm

Scrabbler

Jellen, I have gotten over bladder infections just by drinking + peeing a lot.

4:23 pm

Scrabbler

What is your dog's name, Gehenna?

4:23 pm

Good Enough

FYI they have do it yourself UTI tests at the drug store now.

4:23 pm

Gehenna79

it's not only about the pH, there's also a compound that prevents those bacteria from sticking to he walls of urinal ducti

4:23 pm

Jellen

Thanks, Scrabbler and Gehanna...babblers are such a fount of knowledge!

4:24 pm

Big grids are fun--so many words to find.

my babble pro account really is the gift that keeps on giving

4:24 pm

Gehenna79

but if you get fever, fed the doctor quick quick quick ;) because if it gets up to the kidney level, you'r soon in trouble.

4:25 pm

Yep, kidney infection = risk of scarring of kidney + blood infection.

dcseain

it will be nice, though i'm guessing it'll be a late one this year - may not be much green til april

4:46 pm

PinnyPoppins

i didn't actually - i stopped watching it about three years ago (although i used to write episodes back in the day)

4:47 pm

Nancy Boy

really, Pinny? that's so cool!

4:47 pm

Soodlebum

OMG, Pinny!!! Really????

4:47 pm

dcseain

way cool, pinny!

4:47 pm

PinnyPoppins

yup - eastenders, coronation street and hollyoaks - but that was a decade ago

4:48 pm

PinnyPoppins

well - just one episode of each

4:48 pm

Christine

They stoppe showing Eastenders in our area.

4:48 pm

Soodlebum

Pinny. I am humbled in the presence of Greatness. I am gobsmacked! Can I tell people I know you?

4:48 pm

PinnyPoppins

if only you could see what a horrible car crash i made of my life, you wouldn't say that

4:49 pm

dcseain

i've not had tv in 7 years, so i've no clue whether it's on PBS here or not. though bbca may carry it, i guess

4:49 pm

Gehenna79

aww, coronation street is on our tv too now =)

4:50 pm

Soodlebum

Oh crap. Pinny, I am so sorry to hear that. But, if you had anything to do with institutions like Corrie, or EE - well, you have made a huge impression on people.

4:50 pm

Christine

Wow - my icon is changed, and I didn't do it. I don't knopw where that picture came from - it wassn't there the last timr I checked, at the weekend.

4:51 pm

dcseain

it's pretty, christine

4:51 pm

Soodlebum

Pinny, I would really like to hear more about you 'life in soaps'. My email is medickinson@eircom.net. If I am not being too bold, you might email me sometime.

4:52 pm

PinnyPoppins

nah soodle - just right place at the right time. i did a masters degree in screenwriting and as part of the course we had opportunities to meet with producers/dierctors/agents/etc and i was just super pushy about being given opportunities to write. it helped that i was only 21 at the time and really pretentious

4:52 pm

Christine

I haven't a clue what it is. I looked in my pictures, and it'a not there.

4:52 pm

PinnyPoppins

hmm - i mean precocious

4:52 pm

dcseain

it's surrealist, whatever it be

4:53 pm

Soodlebum

Well, Pinny, I, for one, am seriously impressed!

4:53 pm

PinnyPoppins

ty soodle

4:54 pm

Soodlebum

And DC - no telly for 7 years???? OMG - 7 years is the mandatory life sentence here for murder!!! I don't think I could live 7 hours without telly!

4:54 pm

Gehenna79

4:55 pm

redturtlehead

98 here and very cold cold.

4:55 pm

dcseain

much to my surprise, i don't miss it, soodle

4:55 pm

redturtlehead

Soodle you can! I have been without TV for times in my life. It was forbidden in high school. I missed a whole generation of stuff.

4:56 pm

redturtlehead

but I admit to liking to watch cartoons phineas and Ferb these days!

4:56 pm

dcseain

that one is hilarious, red. i see that one when i babysit my nephews

4:56 pm

Soodlebum

Lol. I know I could live without tv, but, would life be worth living. (Angels chorus in the background singing GET A LIFE SOODLE) lol lol

4:57 pm

PinnyPoppins

my sister doesn't have a tv for religious reasons

4:57 pm

dcseain

fascinating, pinny. May i ask what her religion is?

4:57 pm

redturtlehead

I think Phineas and Ferb are cool because there are sooo positive, even when the Candace is being a witch.

4:57 pm

PinnyPoppins

when my niece is very good, she gets to come over and watch spongebob

4:57 pm

PinnyPoppins

we're jewish

4:57 pm

redturtlehead

she must be Amish?

4:57 pm

redturtlehead

oh sorry Pinny.

4:58 pm

PinnyPoppins

no worries

4:58 pm

dcseain

ah, okay. she's more toward the hassidic side?

4:58 pm

redturtlehead

Amish peoplea re the ones I know who are without tv...

4:58 pm

redturtlehead

Pinny, she should watch Phineas and Ferb! It has good values.

4:58 pm

dcseain

hint for de5.16, pls?

4:58 pm

Soodlebum

Pinny, I'm sorry if I am annoying you, but was there any particular story line in either EastEnders or Corrie that you were responsible for?

4:59 pm

PinnyPoppins

just run of the mill orthodox, but she believes that a tv allows a huge amount of negative influence into the home

4:59 pm

dcseain

ah, okay.

4:59 pm

PinnyPoppins

haha - soodle, i did a storyi

4:59 pm

redturtlehead

Well, pinny I can not disagree with her there.

4:59 pm

Soodlebum

DE 5/16 - think God!!

5:00 pm

dcseain

just found it, thanks, soodle

5:00 pm

redturtlehead

thanks Soodle, I would not have it without you!

5:00 pm

Gehenna79

ah, found that one too, thanks

5:00 pm

PinnyPoppins

i was about the recount a story i did for corrie, but i genuinely can't remember any of the characters names!

5:01 pm

PinnyPoppins

it's been a rough decade!

5:01 pm

Soodlebum

aaaaarrrggghhh. I'll help.....

5:01 pm

PinnyPoppins

mike.... someone... played by jonny briggs

5:01 pm

PinnyPoppins

mike baldwin maybe?!?

5:02 pm

Soodlebum

C'mon Pinny. Think of Soodles kudos in the pub if I could say ' my friend the Corrie script writer'

5:02 pm

Soodlebum

Yup. Mike Baldwin. married to alma.

5:02 pm

PinnyPoppins

(does it help that i'm irish too?)

5:02 pm

Soodlebum

owner of the factory, c'mon

5:03 pm

PinnyPoppins

ok - so, mike baldwin was having an affair with his son's wife, and i wrote the episode where alma caught them together

5:03 pm

Soodlebum

Well, thats a no=brainer!! Of course your Irish!!

5:03 pm

PinnyPoppins

but i don't remember anything about the 'enders episode, and the hollyoaks one was merely moving the stories on to a more exciting place

5:04 pm

dcseain

firewords

5:04 pm

Soodlebum

Oh my!! That was a real show stopper. I repeat... I'm in the presence of greatness.

5:04 pm

Jellen

Yay, dc!!!

5:04 pm

Soodlebum

DC - well done!

5:05 pm

Soodlebum

So, Pinny, how Irish are you?

5:05 pm

Gehenna79

all the time trying to give "doily" there but there's now such word in the grid :-))

5:05 pm

PinnyPoppins

my dad was born and raised in dublin, where the remaining members of his family still live

5:05 pm

Soodlebum

Gehenna79 - that is known as a phantom in Babble-terms!

5:06 pm

Gehenna79

oh, nice to know this jargon too!

5:06 pm

PinnyPoppins

my mum's from london, but we all had irish passports from birth (although my brother and sister have since defected and got themselves british passports as well, but i refused)

5:07 pm

dcseain

doily is a word, but the letters are not aligned correctly in grid to make it today

5:07 pm

PinnyPoppins

sorry to everyone who's totally bored with my life story!

5:07 pm

dcseain

thanks, yall :)

5:07 pm

dcseain

i must away to do other things around the house.

5:07 pm

Gehenna79

dcseain: exactly. i have crocheted many of them form also english patterns

5:08 pm

Soodlebum

Well, Pinny, I live in County Meath = about 35 km from Dublin. I married an Englishman, and our kids have English passports (they were cheaper than Irish ones at the time) My hub since did a runner - I swear - if my life story was in a soap, nobody would believe it!!

5:08 pm

dcseain

lovely to see everyone, and nice to meet you gehenna. Happy babbling, yall! {poof} oh, and gehenna, 'yall' or 'y'all' is a contraction of 'you all' and is used as the plural of you in the part of the US i live in

5:09 pm

PinnyPoppins

what a rude bastard!

5:09 pm

Soodlebum

Cheers DC all the best!

5:09 pm

PinnyPoppins

soodle's hubby i mean, not you seain!

5:10 pm

dcseain

lol pinny {re-poof}

5:10 pm

Soodlebum

Hey, Pinny, pity your not still in the soap writing business - I could have supplied you with endless material...lol

5:10 pm

PinnyPoppins

my life story has been in a soap! a strange and cruel twist of fate means that my best friend now writes tv shows, and she's based a bunch of storylines around the bad stuff that's happened to me over the past few years

5:10 pm

Gehenna79

nice to meet you all too, got to go now. got to get some sleep (01:11am) bye o/

G'night, Gehenna

5:12 pm

Soodlebum

Pinny, I don't know if you caught my email when I threw it out before, but, i would surely love to have a chat with you without boring the Babblers. If you ever feel the urge, please, please, feel free to contact me.

5:12 pm

PinnyPoppins

thanks soodle - i'll run back through the chog and find it

5:13 pm

Soodlebum

I honestly look forward to chatting to you Pinny.

5:14 pm

Soodlebum

Anyway = back to babbling. Can I help anybody before I poof?

5:14 pm

5:18 pm

hi peri, happy birthday, I'd forget the babbling and go for the ice cream b-day cake

5:19 pm

they have not called me down for it yet. I will wait patiently

that's really cute, peri. happy birthday!

5:21 pm

PinnyPoppins

the surprise for my birthday (two weeks ago) was that everyone forgot

5:22 pm

Mary

well belated bithday wishes to pinny

5:23 pm

Jayk

Hi all. Happy Birthday Peri. Just checking in to say with 58 left, I'm outta here. Not worth it today. Too much else to do. Maybe tomorrow will be fewer. I hate giving up, but I just did.

5:23 pm

Jayk

then HB to you too Pinny!

5:24 pm

PinnyPoppins

thanks all! the hallmark channel started running every episode of law & order svu on my birthday, so i took that as my present

5:27 pm

Jayk

Wise choice. I think the presents one gives onself are the best. I just gave myself a Kindle--which I hope was not a HUGE error.

5:28 pm

PinnyPoppins

that's exactly how i feel. maybe because no-one's ever given me a really awesome present though! how're you finding the kindle?

5:28 pm

Jayk

It hasn't come yet. I just did this yesterday

5:30 pm

Jayk

I travel some--and it's hard to pack for 2 weeks in Europe when half the suitcase is books--so I'm hopeful

5:31 pm

PinnyPoppins

i spent a month in bali last fall and read 14 books while i was there

5:31 pm

fuquayvarina

I've been thinking about getting one for the same reason, jayk. Let us know how you like it when it comes.

5:31 pm

PinnyPoppins

mainly because the friends i stayed with didn't have a tv and went to bed when the sun set (at 6pm)

5:32 pm

Jayk

See?! Exactly. When I travel, I allot one book/day. I often travel alonje, so there's more book time than one would think--plus the horrible many-hours flights

5:32 pm

Jayk

people go to bed at SIX?!

5:32 pm

PinnyPoppins

how come you travel so much?

5:33 pm

PinnyPoppins

they live a very simple life - bed when the sun sets at 6pm, up when the sun rises at 5am

5:34 pm

Jayk

Not so much--just some. It's not work travel (I wish!) but pleasure travel. We usually go to Europe a couple of times a year--not this year though.

5:34 pm

Jayk

that does make for a nice long sleep!

5:35 pm

PinnyPoppins

i used to go to the states a couple of times a year, but haven't been for about 5 years now and i miss it so much

5:35 pm

PinnyPoppins

think i've been about 30ish times

5:36 pm

Jayk

I have 2 barriers: the exchange rate euro:dollar and my HUGE dislike of long flights. But we're going to Italy in June (DUH: could there be worse time for that? No)

5:36 pm

PinnyPoppins

which parts??? you have to see the amalfi coast - it's amazing

5:37 pm

periwinkle

belated birthday wishes to you, Pinny

5:37 pm

Jayk

I would love to go back to London, but the exchanmge rate is crippling

5:37 pm

PinnyPoppins

thanks peri - send me some cake :)

5:37 pm

periwinkle

I will when I get some too

5:37 pm

Jayk

You know, we have NOT done the amalfi coast--maybe this time

5:38 pm

PinnyPoppins

you must. i got lost on the beach there when i was two. my sister (three) and i walked off and were gone for the entire afternoon. my parents thought we'd been kidnapped. such fond childhood memories!

5:40 pm

Jayk

OMG. That happened to my two kids too when they were little. Not Italy, Chicago actually, but we were completely distraught. Finally, some kind soul figured out that maybe these 2 babies should not be by themselves

5:40 pm

Hi all. Just thought I'd add my own 2 cents: it has to be *real* cranberry juice, not the cranberry coctail or 100% all sorts of other juice. Real cranberry juice costs over $& a quart bottle here...0

7:02 pm

redturtlehead

I would not be allowed to work with pink hair.

THAT mask will keep me away effectively.

Pluschenko states he feels he deserved the gold because he did a quad jump..

Hubby thinks that it is just another word game.I give hime a do4/5 of his own medicine when I di4/5 baseball & the Yankees. I will never ever reg5/14 joining Babble. Now it's even worse because we are down to just one computer&I tend to be gr 6/33 with it & spend a gr 5/14 amount of time babbling. I'm always gr 5/14 with envy when people finish the big grids and I don't, however, I did finished today since I was en7/36ed in the grid most of the day. I de 5/12 w/some very difficult monkeys today so I ad 5/12 those who are always so willing to ai 4/5 with clues. Clues are an as 5/10 for me and st 5/10 me in the right direction to get tiles gr 6/33. I love the as6/18ment of clues given in chog. Sa 5/16, my hubby wants the computer so I ne4/5 to go now.

hello, a very sleepy babbler here. up at six, made spinach quiche for breakfast at school. long day at school, then 4 1/2 hour drive to see my grandchildren, and just wpent last hour and a half trying to put a very cranky, sleepy month old back to sleep. and just succeeded!

10:39 pm

I had to go check gremlinn. but yes, it is the one with 160 or so members

10:39 pm

10:40 pm

10:40 pm

jillibus

thanks stid -- I found pippin via you and have asked her to be a friend

10:40 pm

10:41 pm

DOREN!!!! (((many hugs)))

10:41 pm

Dorens

hi stid, and circe, and barb ad pippin and gremlinn and jilli. stid decided that i would like to see fantastic mr. fox with her tomorrow. do you think so?

10:41 pm

Barb's Horses

on FB you should be able to also see pics of my family, both 4 legs and 2 :)

10:41 pm

jillibus

Hi doren

10:42 pm

pippingeek

but still red!

10:42 pm

circe

on which one gremlin? the regular one or the worldwide one?

10:42 pm

jillibus

pippin, I found you and invited you

10:42 pm

pippingeek

i want to play hooky from work and go rock climbing tomorrow.

10:42 pm

Dorens

and what's wrong with RED hair?

10:42 pm

pippingeek

yes, jilli, and yu have now officially been accepted!

10:42 pm

stidmama

phoebe asked you to the movie?

10:43 pm

gremlinn

Anyway, on facebook, if you search for "scramble" in the search bar at the top, you should see in the Applications section a Boggle-type game. We should meet up in a room there or something.

10:43 pm

jillibus

I don't know how to find the Babble group on FB -- I'm sure I joined it but...

10:43 pm

stidmama

LOL nothing is wrong with red hair! my hair is boring brown with increasingly obvious streaks of gr4

10:43 pm

jillibus

thanks, pip

10:43 pm

Dorens

yes, she did ask me to go wtih her tomorrow... exciting, isn't it? i think we'll leave Levi home.

10:44 pm

jillibus

btw, pip and barb -- how about putting your babble name under your picture in FB? Most of us have done that

10:44 pm

Dorens

i was borm a redhead, and hated it as a girl, all the attention, all the older ladies fussing over it and making me selfconscious. couldn't wait to be old enough to dye it brown

10:44 pm

circe

I have a horrbily common name (as it turns out), if you want to add me via email it is sjhay01@chartermi.net otherwise my profile pic is an ocean sunset there.

10:44 pm

stidmama

that will be excellent. yes, make it a "girls day out" she will remember it for a long time!

10:45 pm

jillibus

hji circe -- will do...

10:45 pm

gremlinn

10:46 pm

10:46 pm

Pinikula

evening all...just popping in to say hello and see how everyone is doing...

10:46 pm

10:46 pm

stidmama

I friended you circe!!! hey pini!

10:46 pm

Pinikula

;)

10:47 pm

pippingeek

jilli - i also don't shop my online name around because it's the name i use for all my online identities, many of which i don't want to be viewed by lots of the folks i am friends with on fb

10:47 pm

stidmama

we're widening our social network tonight...

10:47 pm

circe

hi pini-- stuck here at 72 sigh

10:47 pm

hi pini

10:47 pm

Dorens

(she owns the copyright etc to stidmama. it is her!)

10:47 pm

pippingeek

saying all this out loud makes me sound weirdly paranoid, i just have sort of an inner circle that gets to be privy to more than the public persona of fb

10:48 pm

stidmama

LOL Doren...

10:48 pm

Barb's Horses

I was daisymae for several years before and I couldn't get it when I logged in here

10:48 pm

10:49 pm

Pinikula

oh my, stid...you best take care of your studies...they are important, dear!

10:49 pm

Dorens

10:49 pm

I totally understand pippin -

10:50 pm

stidmama

studies are well in hand, otherwise I would be drinking coffee and trying to be productive. But if I re4 now, then I will be more productive tomorrow than if I try to push myself.

10:50 pm

pippingeek

oh my. all that date info and fb flurry made me temporarily forget how tired i am!

10:50 pm

stidmama

I have three more weeks of class, but only this weekend should be so busy.
