she's bandaged up to her eyeballs almost. because she's an old girl, they didn't pin her leg, they are just letting it heal naturally, cos any slight abnormalities from it will be nothing compared to her arthritis anyway

KatieMcG

2:19 am
KatieMcG

It didn't until yesterday jilli but it locked me in for 40 mins with the alarm going off every time I moved. It is now called Christine!
2:20 am
KatieMcG

smiley car is the relief car work hired for me!
2:20 am
jillibus

yikes! Evil Christine!
2:20 am
KatieMcG

it let me out 10 mins before the breakdown service got to me, which in my book makes it even more evil
2:21 am
jillibus

why particularly christine?
2:21 am
KatieMcG

Stephen King's book about a possessed car
2:21 am
jillibus

westford

hi lyn
2:32 am
pippingeek

i think it's bedtime for this kitten - laundry tomorrow and haircut and then major climbing day
2:33 am
KatieMcG

Oh yes, last year was a misery and I ended up playing gala bingo instead so decided this year I wouldn't be giving it up
2:33 am
pippingeek

and it's after 3am and i must get up at a reasonable hour!
2:33 am
lynxxx

goodnight Pippin
2:33 am
westford

I try to think of something I can give up but I hate to disappoint myself lol
2:33 am
pippingeek

night all
2:34 am
KatieMcG

i've actually given up chocolate no by choice but I realised that I hadn't had any since lent started so that's what I should carry on with
2:34 am
westford

good night pip sleep well
2:34 am
pippingeek

*poof*
2:34 am
westford

chocolate is a good thing to give up
2:35 am
westford

was it making you ill?
2:35 am
KatieMcG

that's what I thought, and then the easter egg will be very special
2:35 am
westford

oh yes !!
2:35 am
westford

Easter is coming so early this year
2:36 am
westford

and so it daylight savings time
2:36 am
westford

March 14th for us
2:36 am
westford

2:37 am
KatieMcG

28th March for us
2:38 am
westford

not that long ago it was closer to the end of April
2:38 am
westford

whose idea was that anyway?
2:38 am
KatieMcG

and we'll be on holiday lol
2:38 am
westford

oh nice where are you going?
2:39 am
KatieMcG

we keep having discussions about whether it should be kept. It was based on the farming requirements for as much daylight in the winter as possible I think
2:40 am
westford

that doesn't seem to work here it's always dark and dingy in winter
2:40 am
KatieMcG

We are going to the Maldives again with Mari & Mr Mari and our two closest friends can't wait. Will be 50 days next monday
2:40 am
herinfernallady

Hello
2:40 am
westford

KatieMcG

Hi Herin

2:43 am
herinfernallady

Thank gods Lynxx. Yes it was
2:43 am
westford

katie tell her about Christine..I'm sure you didn't think it was funny at the time
2:43 am
KatieMcG

Actually I kept my sense of humor quite well all things considered
2:44 am
westford

thank goodness for cell phones
2:44 am
herinfernallady

I read that. My friend said that about his car and BOOM damn thing breaks down
2:45 am
westford

my brother drives an old heap and it was stolen..thief left it a block away
2:46 am
herinfernallady

snort
2:47 am
westford

lol
2:47 am
KatieMcG

luckily the windows were opening so if something had gone really bad I could have climbed out the window, but as I told the recovery service my Daisy Duke days were long gone
2:47 am
herinfernallady

My teacher was Life coaching us today. i actually left the room as I was feeling ill
2:48 am
KatieMcG

you having a bad time herin?
2:48 am
westford

hope you aren't coming down with something herin
2:49 am
westford

katie if you had done a Daisy Duke imitation you know it would have shown up on YouTube
2:49 am
herinfernallady

No the subject made me vomitus
2:50 am
KatieMcG

oh the shame of it lol
2:50 am
KatieMcG

at least I have a reliable car for my work today and tomorrow, although I'm glad I don't have to leave until later on account of having to use gears again when Christine is an automatic
2:50 am
herinfernallady

I don't believe in Life Coaching. In fact I think its a crock and I get so angry and irritated
2:50 am
westford

herin are these life lessons a normal part of class?
2:51 am
herinfernallady

unfortunately yes
2:51 am
herinfernallady

BUT she should be teaching us not telling us
2:52 am
KatieMcG

Need to dash and do some work. See you all later, have a good evening/night/morning
2:52 am
westford

you too Katie nice to see you again
2:52 am
herinfernallady

Like um It would be really great if you could sort out your paper work by having in / out box not you MUST
2:53 am
westford

she's passing on her experience?
2:53 am
westford

or is she one of those that thinks her way is the only way
2:54 am
herinfernallady

Her way and you are a sheep. i had a talk with her today and apparently since I haven't worked for 2 years I NEED this help. Can I just say f off x a bizlion. I am perfectly happy being a cranky moo
2:55 am
westford

yes you may say it just not to her face lol
2:56 am
herinfernallady

I did tell her that I did not believe this stuff and that we are not sheep we are free thinking people
2:56 am
westford

some teachers are good and some are not you just have to do what is best for you
2:56 am
herinfernallady

I got told by the dean to stop putting up barriers I may learn something. I felt like saying what how to tell her that I don't give a north bound end of a south bound rat
2:58 am
westford

you should do what they say until you graduate and then you can do what you want it's hard I know
2:58 am
westford

sounds like a very strict atmosphere
2:59 am
herinfernallady

No. Screw that. I would honestly rather fail at that subject than have my beliefs destroyed
3:00 am
westford

do you have a problem with the subject or just the teacher might be better off dropping the class
3:03 am
herinfernallady

I think the teacher would be better off teaching properly and not preaching. NO one tells me what to do
3:04 am
westford

as I said before there are good teachers and bad teachers looks like you got a bad one
3:04 am
westford

if it makes you feel sick to be in her class that's not good
3:05 am
westford

how do the rest of the students feel about her?
3:06 am
herinfernallady

don't like it
3:06 am
westford

is she new?
3:07 am
westford

maybe at the end of the year when students critique her she'll learn from it
3:07 am
lynxxx

That's work/school Infernal - there is usually someone telling you what to do - you have to buckle under sometimes and show your initiative/independence in other ways
3:08 am
herinfernallady

Yes she is new.
3:08 am
herinfernallady

Lynxx it is the preaching that pisses me off. Plus at work you are paid to put up with crap
3:09 am
herinfernallady

BRB I think that cat did something gross
3:09 am
westford

oh no that's all you need
3:10 am
Haz1558

Good morning/evening all. Another beautiful day here, but COLD.
3:10 am
westford

getting some coffee bbs
3:10 am
lynxxx

Go with the flow Infernl, you need to get through this course and get good grades to help you get the job you want don't you?
3:10 am
Sally-catlover

Hallo Haz! See you still have my absolute favourite icon!
3:10 am
lynxxx

Morning Haz
3:11 am
Haz1558

lynxxx, I'm coming in on the tail end of the conversation and something tells me herin shouldn't think of joining the military....
3:11 am
Haz1558

Hello Sally! Good, isn't it?
3:11 am
Sally-catlover

Did you find it on google?
3:11 am
Haz1558

I did, I couldn't believe it when I saw it.
3:11 am
lynxxx

God forbid!
3:11 am
Sally-catlover

Think I need a large sized one of those.
3:11 am
Haz1558

Needless to say, I thought of you.
3:12 am
Sally-catlover

Found it! Will print it later. You are too kind Haz.
3:12 am
Haz1558

No problem, Sally. Will you wear it as a badge?
3:13 am
Sally-catlover

I have a lovely headline on my pinboard which says "Sally goes doolally"
3:13 am
Sally-catlover

No I was thinking of something larger than a badge :-)
3:13 am
lynxxx

jmc really didn't get the tradition of blaming FM but has funny icon up
3:14 am
Haz1558

lynxxx, I remember years ago when a young man we knew who came from rather a disorganised family, joined the army. When he came home on leave, his mother told mine that he was like a whirlwind in the house, insisting that everything be cleaned up and polishing everybody's shoes!
3:15 am
Haz1558

I must have a look at jmc's icon. When the theme came up I wasn't really sure what would be available, and was pleasantly surprised.
3:15 am
lynxxx

Perhaps you could embroider cushion with it on Sally - or make a quilt?
3:15 am
Sally-catlover

What actually was the theme Haz?
3:15 am
Sally-catlover

lol lynxxx. You haven't seen my sewing.
3:15 am
Haz1558

It was 'Let's not blame FMitch' day.
3:16 am
Sally-catlover

Oh I see!!!
3:16 am
Haz1558

Because, as you know, FM takes the blame for everything, from nuclear weapons to litter in the streets.
3:16 am
Sally-catlover

Must go and find jmc's icon.
3:16 am
lynxxx

The army here likes to 'break' people like Infernal
3:16 am
Haz1558

Jmc's icon is really good!
3:17 am
Haz1558

I think armies everywhere want to get people to do what they tell them without thinking. It seems to be the way to get people to obey orders, even if they seem mad.
3:17 am
lynxxx

Yes
3:18 am
Sally-catlover

Found the icon - brilliant!
3:19 am
Sally-catlover

I sympathise with herin, I don't like being told what to do either, but throughout life we have to accept orders - from the police, employers, whatever.
3:19 am
Haz1558

We've had a series of programmes over here (not immediately recently) which followed young ne'er do wells as they entered the army for a spot of discipline. Some fought against it harder than others, but so many lacked even the fundamentals of respecting the offices etc.
3:19 am
Sally-catlover

Things have improved in that I think we don't accept stuff from say doctors without question, but has gone too far.
3:20 am
Sally-catlover

I remember when I was in hospital at age 5 my mother was told she couldn't visit because "it would upset me". I got my own back because on visiting day oh boy did I make a fuss! No mother would accept that now.
3:22 am
Sally-catlover

You note that this was so long ago that visiting was once a week.
3:22 am
Haz1558

Things have swung to the other extreme in many hospitals as regards visiting - they were finding in some cases that people couldn't get on with their jobs, patients couldn't get proper rest, simply because visitors were swamping the place the whole time. I've a friend who is a ward manager in a maternity unit and they had to clamp down - they were having families camping for hours!
3:23 am
diann

how many words are there??
3:23 am
Sally-catlover

I agree there, and number of visitors especially should be restricted. It's very tiring to have visitors when in hospital, but should be different for children.
3:23 am
Haz1558

There are 148 words, diann.
3:23 am
Sally-catlover

148 words
3:24 am
Haz1558

Yes, children are a special case, I agree.
3:25 am
lynxxx

Our childrens hospital allows parents to sleep in the rooms, no bed, only chair but still. Not sure about in wards though
3:25 am
herinfernallady

SOrry about that I got chatting to my neighbour about his daughters very awesome schooling
3:26 am
Sally-catlover

I think that's so here lynxx. My case was (cough) a few years ago.
3:26 am
Haz1558

Yes, I'm pretty sure there are facilities (depending on the hospital) for parents staying over.
3:26 am
lynxxx

lol
3:26 am
herinfernallady

Isn't the Royal CHildrens Hospital here very family centred?
3:28 am
lynxxx

Thst is what I was talking bout Infernal
3:30 am
lynxxx

BBS Off to ice first half of neenish tarts
3:30 am
Haz1558

See you later, lynxxx.
3:30 am
Sally-catlover

neenish?
3:31 am
Sally-catlover

I love the differences in language that crop up in Babble, not the grid but in the chog.
3:31 am
herinfernallady

Its an Iced Biscuit
3:31 am
Sally-catlover

OK, have neenish. Google was my friend.
3:32 am
Sally-catlover

A neenish tart, also in the past sometimes called a nienich tart, is a tart made with a pastry base, usually jam, sweet gelatine-set cream or mock cream paste filling, and icing on top in two colours, half one colour and half the other. They are almost exclusively sized as individual servings, 10-12 cm in diameter. This kind of tart (so far as is known) was created in Australia, and is still best known there.
3:33 am
Haz1558

It's funny, we have iced biscuits over here, we call them German biscuits, but everywhere else (Scotland, England etc) calls them either Empire or Commonwealth biscuits.
3:33 am
herinfernallady

Yep we are weird
3:41 am
Haz1558

Time for me to be off, I'll be back later. Bye for now!
3:41 am
Sally-catlover

Bye Haz
3:41 am
herinfernallady

3:59 am
Sally-catlover

I hope you took clean ones in to throw :-)
4:00 am
Sally-catlover

Wonder what he does with them all. Mind boggling here.
4:01 am
Andree

he takes it all with such good humour, guess they go to some charity or he has a very big storeroom
4:04 am
herinfernallady

I don't want to think about that one :D
4:05 am
lynxxx

4:05 am
Andree

4:09 am
Sally-catlover

4:09 am
Andree

4:10 am
lynxxx

any nibbles yet Andree?
4:12 am
Andree

i have had 2 offers, so low, its not funny, i made a loss last year[ who didn't] and there broker says lots out there trolling to pick up a bargain
4:13 am
lynxxx

Has work picked up at all?
4:14 am
Andree

definitly better, but still slow despite what our government have to say
4:15 am
lynxxx

I know you don't want to but maybe you can hang in for the year?
4:17 am
Andree

i made a major decision today and rang telstra to arrange for the phone and fax lines to be moved here , if i can work from home i will save quite a lot of money and can hang out for another year or 2
4:18 am
herinfernallady

That sounds like a plan ANdree. Also look at better phone deals
4:18 am
lynxxx

Seems like good idea, good luck
4:19 am
Andree

one guy is emailing broker daily, really wants the business , this has been going on for 6 weeks and he won't go away, not sure which part of offer is not nearly high enough he doesn't understand
4:21 am
Andree

today's email says she will never get a better offer than mine, i could sell off the trucks and bins for more than his offer
4:21 am
herinfernallady

What is it with some peole
4:28 am
redturtlehead

Morning people. Andree, reading back....sounds like an unpleasant situation!

lynxxx

Just thinking that, struggling to get to 100
4:32 am

redturtlehead

LOL!!!
4:33 am

5:21 am
Norma

That is what is called getting your priorities right lol
5:21 am
Scrabbler

This grid does not seem very easy.
5:21 am
Norma

There are some very strange words in it... even strange by babble standards
5:23 am
Scrabbler

I am starting to see some patterns now.
5:32 am
Scrabbler

Yay, 76/72 now and off to get ready for work.
5:51 am
Merk

Here and gone ... just checking out the grid ... looks interesting. bbl ... tata
5:59 am
lideola

with such a large population of double consonants on the right side of the board, I am beginning to think that solid knowledge of Welsh would be helpful today.
6:02 am
westford

right lid and there was talk of Tom Jones awhile ago in keeping with the theme
6:09 am

Haz, I hardly knew ye!
7:13 am

I know, I'm a bit unfamiliar looking. It was for yesterday, when FM was NOT to blame, but Sally was.

Hello, featherbee.
7:14 am

I missed yesterday, but got to hear all about your meet with Ata.
7:14 am
hego

Clash of the Titans, babblewise that is.
7:15 am
Haz1558

Oh, it was great fun, hego. I kind of knew them well from exchanging e-mails etc, but it was special to see them face to face and to laugh together.
7:15 am
hego

Sounds great.
7:16 am
Haz1558

Well, both FM and Ata are taller than me,that's for sure. The picture Ata had up was deceiving - FM and I were both sitting down. If it had been done with us standing up, I'd have been a lot lower down. You'd have seen the top of my head.
7:17 am
hego

Where was the picture posted Haz?
7:17 am

Hi Haz! Glad to hear your meet went well. I missed the chog yesterday.
7:17 am
hego

I'd love to see you not looking like a spaniel. LOL
7:18 am
Haz1558

Ata did have it up as her icon and I'm sure she had it on FB as well (not that I know anything about FB)
7:18 am
Haz1558

I could put it up, I sneaked a copy.
7:18 am
Haz1558

Hello hydra - the meet up was fine, lots of conversation and much laughter.

Nope, I still can't see it. Damn!

bacon bits..the fairy dust for meal perfection
7:28 am
periwinkle

hmm,ok, I am thinking of another one for you
7:29 am
crosshair

im thinking as well cause "ban bacon" just does not work for me
7:29 am
Haz1558

The old title was Ban Bacon! Remember that these are the shortest books in the world, therefore the chances of you writing much about banning bacon are slim.
7:29 am
crosshair

ahh i see
7:29 am
hydra

Hiya hego. Sorry, I'm very rude today. Dived straight into the chat without saying hello. Sorry everyone! I still can't see the pic Haz. I can see it as a tiny icon but can't enlarge it. Grrr!
7:29 am

In the same way, I'm useless with a needle, so My guide to embroidery is likely to be blank pages.

Haz1558

They're awkward in that fridges will have to be moved, but I'm going to pretend that the bits behind the washing machine don't matter. It's only woodstain so I can slap it on at speed, gloss paint would be a different matter!

Juicing is awesome 'cause you can cram all sorts of vitamins and minerals into one drink. Parsley is good for detox too. A little goes a long way though.

hi all
10:59 am
flosey

and Fireworks, last word re5/12, second one
10:59 am
mongie

I was reading through the chat a bit, and have a question for flosey
11:00 am
flosey

ok?
11:00 am
mongie

flosey , what kind of cancer did / does your husband have?
11:00 am
mongie

Mine has dealt with lung cancer twice ... just curious
11:00 am
flosey

prostate
11:00 am
flosey

and it came back in same spot!
11:01 am
mongie

Wow ... that is a bit unusual, isn't it?
11:01 am
mongie

Did he have surgery of any kind?
11:01 am
flosey

makes one wonder, but was scarey at the time
11:01 am
flosey

yes had it removed first time - that's why it seemed strange to return same location
11:02 am
mongie

I know what you mean. I feel like I am always waiting for the other shoe to drop.
11:02 am
mongie

Maybe the doctor didn't get all of the cells?
11:02 am
PinnyPoppins

my grandma also had cancer in the same spot twice, which sucked because she's already had the mastectomy the first time
11:02 am
Judi

They must have missed a few cells the first time, flosey. Happens often enough.
11:03 am
mongie

My husband had 2 different kinds of cancers of the lung ... 2 different cell types.
11:03 am
flosey

don't really know mongie, first time was in Ontario, second time it was just after we moved to BC
11:03 am
mongie

Sorry for your grandma, PinnyPoppins.
11:03 am
PinnyPoppins

that's ok - this happened over 20 years ago and she's still around
11:04 am
mongie

Wow ... good for her!
11:04 am
flosey

no op. second time but radiation! - every day for 6 weeks
11:04 am
mongie

Oh, sorry for your husband, flosey. Mine has never had any radiation or chemo.
11:04 am
lawyer-1

flo, what was the 1st treatment?
11:05 am
flosey

first was removal
11:05 am
lawyer-1

what was removed?
11:06 am
flosey

the radiation was really more awkward for us since it meant ferry over to Victoria every day
11:06 am
flosey

prostate removed lawyer
11:06 am
flosey

then C came back in same location 5 1/2 years later
11:06 am
lawyer-1

if the prostate was removed, how does one get prostate cancer again?
11:07 am
flosey

beats me! but was in same location
11:07 am
lawyer-1

I am asking because I had my prostate removed about 6 years ago
11:07 am
flosey

possibly, as one babbler suggested, some cells still remaining?
11:08 am
lawyer-1

i go for the psa test regularly...with quite a bit of trepidation
11:08 am
mongie

Cancer cells are so insidious. I guess they can "hide out" for years.
11:09 am
flosey

yes lawyer, he does too
11:09 am
Judi

Have you had a PET scan, lawyer? (scans the whole body). Some cancer cells can travel throughout the body.
11:09 am
flosey

but that was over 10 years ago now so hopefully....
11:10 am
lawyer-1

and, the 1st or 2nd year after the operation, the psa level was up a bit
11:10 am
lawyer-1

scared the hell out of me
11:10 am
flosey

well, good luck lawyer, hope you never see it again
11:10 am
flosey

it did hubby too
11:10 am
lawyer-1

no Judi, I did not
11:10 am
flosey

well, both of us actually
11:11 am
lawyer-1

ty flo
11:11 am
mongie

My husband was "cancer-free" for 6 1/2 years, then another tumor showed up on a scan just last November. He has had both upper lung lobes removed, and we are afraid every time he has another scan scheduled.
11:11 am
flosey

understand mongie - always nervous just waiting for the results
11:12 am
mongie

Flosey, thanks for sharing. I hope all goes well with your husband.
11:12 am
Judi

That is odd, mongie. Is he a smoker? Or was he exposed to pcbs, asbestos, etc.?
11:12 am
mongie

Judi, he was a smoker, but quit one year before his first diagnosis.
11:13 am
mongie

His lung tissue also showed signs of asbestos exposure.
11:13 am
mongie

But, we are sure it was the smoking.
11:14 am
Judi

I suppose that combination would be a double whammy. Good to know they caught it both times.
11:14 am
lawyer-1

how can u b so sure?
11:15 am
flosey

lawyer, if you would care to speak to hubby, I'll put email add. in bio
11:16 am
mongie

Lawyer .. I guess we can't be 100%, but sure seems highly likely. He smoked 1 1/2 - 2 packs a day, of camel non-filters for almost 30 years. His mother also had lung cancer (died years ago) and was a smoker.
11:16 am
Judi

Lawyer - I don't understand how a PSA level can be elevated if you've had your prostate removed.
11:17 am
mongie

I believe some people are genetically predisposed to cancer.
11:17 am
flosey

but that doesn't mean that it is necessarily in the family genes?
11:18 am
lawyer-1

i appreciate that flo, but as of last year, my surgeon released me. I still do the follow-up psa tests and annual physicals, so I am as comfortable as 1 who has been thru it can be
11:18 am
flosey

Judi, happened with hubby
11:18 am
lawyer-1

judi...just like i can't understand how flo's husband can get a reoccurrence of it in the same place after the prostate was removed
11:19 am
Judi

*scratches head* Must have something to do with testosterone.
11:19 am
flosey

also, hubby's first was over 15 years ago - lots of updates and new information available now
11:19 am
Deeha

In Dover last week thee was the funeral of a man who wanted 'smoking killed me' on his coffin - he was 86!!!
11:19 am
mongie

Flosey .. I guess it speaks to the question of genetics or environment. But, I grew up with smoking parents, I smoked for 15 years, have brothers who are current smokers, and have never had a cancer incident.

On Lickety's List ... to what does the heading "Total, On, and Off" refer? I have had some confusion trying to decipher that page.
11:34 am
Judi

Total: words left to find. On/Off - whether to show the clues or not.
11:34 am
bojazz

total refers to # of word in grid, on refers to words guessed correctly, off - words yet to list
11:34 am

12:34 pm
rubyfoo

what was wrong with him
12:34 pm
hego

Oh, dear
12:34 pm
Atalante

they found out he had a tumour the size of a melon in his stomach, and as he was 13 too, doing anything else would have been cruel
12:34 pm
FMitch

Oh dear, what a day :(
12:35 pm
Atalante

vet said he'd maybe manage another day or two, maybe a week, but in pain :(
12:35 pm
rubyfoo

that is so sad!
12:35 pm
Atalante

I know! I was meant to go out today, but I just had to stay in and be with Hobbit!
12:35 pm

12:35 pm

12:36 pm
rubyfoo

I think about Ruby's mortality every day. Chows don't live past 10 or 11, so it's a real concern to me
12:37 pm
EvaNadine

our internet here at work is misbehaving...
so i was going to blame it on you -- and THANK you for it. ;)
12:37 pm
Atalante

awful, isn't it? and as Deeha said, I hate ppl who look at you pitingly and say it's just a dog
12:37 pm
rubyfoo

that's when you tell your dog to bite!
12:37 pm
hego

no compassion
12:37 pm
FMitch

heh heh!
12:37 pm
Atalante

that works until you have a spaniel!
12:38 pm
rubyfoo

they just don't get it
12:38 pm
hego

but it isn't "just a dog". It's your friend and companion and much more.
12:38 pm
FMitch

Oh Ata another Chinook flew over today, aparently they fly out of RAF Odiham quite a bit on low level training as fas as I can gather.
12:38 pm
Atalante

exactly! *we* understand :D
12:38 pm
rubyfoo

even stinky ones like mine!
12:39 pm
hego

yup!
12:39 pm
Atalante

Odiham! well well. at least it's Chinooks and not fast jets
12:40 pm
FMitch

12:40 pm
Atalante

I do like chinooks
12:42 pm
FMitch

EvaNadine

heard the funniest line ever from the mom of one of the girls on my dance team: after we performed last weekend, she asked her daughter who "the light skinned girl" was -- she thought i was black! (im the only white girl on the team)
i took that as a huge compliment to my hip-hop dancing ability!
12:46 pm
hego

Oh, Eva. Too funny
12:46 pm
hego

And so wrong in a way. lol
12:47 pm
rubyfoo

that says a lot about your dancing, eva
12:47 pm
EvaNadine

we actually have a joke between me + my friend cherise that theres one white girl on the team + its not me -- i always have to help her get the hip-hop moves...hehe
12:47 pm

back from an entertaining drive in 'smiley' car
12:53 pm
Atalante

yay smiley car!
12:54 pm
KatieMcG

It got a pat on the bonnet for being so good, I only stalled twice which in 130 miles I thought was quite good!
12:54 pm
Atalante

very good!
12:54 pm
Atalante

were the cats keeping their beady eyes on Christine?
12:55 pm

Hi Jellen
12:55 pm
Atalante

hi Jellen!
12:56 pm
Jellen

What's a smiley car?
12:57 pm
Atalante

one that doesn't try to eat you
12:57 pm
KatieMcG

One that doesn't lock me in with the alarm going for 40 minutes. My normal car will hence forth be known as Christine the mean car
12:57 pm
hego

:-)
12:57 pm
Jellen

Ahh...lol...oh, that must have been terrible!
12:58 pm
KatieMcG

I have 'smiley' the hire car until Christine gets a check at the garage on Monday and a guarantee that it won't happen again
12:59 pm
KatieMcG

unfortunately smiley is manual and Christine is automatic so a long drive today was interesting. Smiley also has a much bigger engine so I pulled off at some lights like a boy racer
12:59 pm
hego

Is she named for the stephen king car?
12:59 pm
KatieMcG

Oh yes hego
12:59 pm
Atalante

katie, do you ever get utterly confused with local laws, national laws, EU laws, national guidelines, local guidelines and which is most important??
1:00 pm
hego

good name, then
1:00 pm
KatieMcG

yes but when I did law of the built environment it was drilled in to us that EU law always won over UK law
1:01 pm
KatieMcG

along with sue the one with the money lol
1:01 pm
Atalante

even if EU law goes against (for whatever reason) local wishes / local laws?
1:01 pm
Atalante

all these layers of statutory and non-statutory stuff is doing my head in completely!
1:01 pm
Jellen

Good advice...deep pocket principle, isn't it?
1:02 pm
KatieMcG

yes unless the local law goes above the standards required in EU law. The easiest way to remember it is that the courts go. District, Crown, Appeal, High, and the EU with EU being at the top
1:03 pm
KatieMcG

this is why the argument against being in Europe means that our law doesn't apply.
1:04 pm
Atalante

that makes sense. *nods slowly*. sorry to fling a work question at you!
1:05 pm
KatieMcG

The thing you have to be careful on is when things are actually guidance and when it is law. Sometimes there is a period of grace for European law to be enacted so it is not necessarily applicable from the date the bill is passed, there is an effective date. This helps all countries to enact it when they are able to.
1:06 pm
Atalante

I think that's where I get confused. eg Severn estuary (yes, I'm on to estuaries now). There's the local planning laws, national estuary advice (ha!), Glos estuary advice that isn't law, and then the Severn Management Plan that isn't law. That sits *somewhere* in the middle.
1:07 pm
KatieMcG

the only one of those that is law is the planning laws unless the others are backed by an act of parliament OR are local bye laws. However environmental protection laws will apply
1:09 pm
dalia

sorry to interrupt...but I'm down to two and stuck. need clues for ts and second te5-10...=)
1:09 pm

I can't quite get my head around spending $$ on making estuary guidelines / management plans with no statutory position. Can't anyone turn round adn ignore the things?

hi, all. I have spoken with my daughter today and she is home. She told me what happened that led to her arrest on drug charges, and I believe her completely (which was not the case in the past at all). I am no longer angry at her at all. She said she was stopped for a faulty headlight, the office checked her name in his computer system and found out about her history of drug issues. He then told her he would turn drug sniffing dogs on her car. She admitted having some Vicodin for which she did not have a prescription bottle (although she does indeed have a prescription for the medication) and the officer "tore up" her car inside, and found an old syringe "from a long time ago" that was buried deep inside the console of the car.
4:10 pm
jmcnrick

i am so sorry to hear this angel. I hope your daughter is able to get an attorney to help her.
4:11 pm
jmcnrick

Is your daughter in Texas too?
4:11 pm

she is working on getting an attorney now. she does live in Texas, yes
4:12 pm

I do not believe she was or is using any illicit drugs.

she lives in Austin; incident was in Williamson county, to the north of Austin.
4:15 pm

4:16 pm
Angelsong

Williamson County has a zero tolerance policy, but this situation feels to me like some officer with a quota to fill who took her history and ran with it.
4:17 pm
jmcnrick

i understand. the fact that he had to tear up the car to find the syringe tells against him
4:18 pm
Angelsong

she told me she had no idea the syringe was present. she said she was not drug tested upon her arrest/incarceration, but that if she had been tested, she would have tested clean.
4:18 pm
jmcnrick

i sent an email to friends of mine and will get back to you. you can email me at jmcnrick at yahoo.com to give me your email address and i will email the info to you directly so we don't have to run into each other on the chog
4:19 pm

if she is not locked up she should go get drug tested at a hospital asap -- if she is locked up she should ask to be drug tested

I have a digital SLR and take pictures on auto (getting up the courage to use it properly) and my pictures are flashing as overexposed on the screen (although they look OK on the computer) I wondered what I should change to stop it. I don't have a uv filter yet I am getting one at the weekend

well, first off, Don't necesarially trust your monitor. Use a site like this one to calibrate your brightness: http://www.tranquilityimages.com/calib

5:24 pm
bichon

I have a digital SLR and use it on auto, bt don't usually have this problem. And the user is not so brilliant
5:25 pm
smooth_pappa

getting your monitor set as accurate as possible will really help you and your pictures. In a former life, I worked at a photo lab, and I can't tell you how often people were disappointed with their pictures because they looked ok on their home computer. I would ask them if they adjusted their monitor, and every once in a while they would actually say "Yes. My picture was too dark/light so I adjusted it to look good on my computer. Why doesn't the picture look like my monitor?"
5:26 pm
KatieMcG

the problem is on the screen of the camera which is probably the one which is correct
5:26 pm
smooth_pappa

do you happen to have any pictures online that had this problem, katie, that I might be able to look at? I might be able to give you some tips.
5:27 pm
smooth_pappa

yes ad no... it will be truer, but also the screen of the camera is often going to look a little brighter, due to the way that the screens are lit. It's not usually that different though

7:38 pm
Eva

everyone is invited for this year's Black Fly Festival. VT is a phenomenal place, but not for the faint hearted - there are about 4 months during which there is no place on earth more beautiful, then severe sun deprivation, cold and insects. But the sense of community and the eccentricity is definitely worth it for me.
7:39 pm

well, not every winter .. 3, i think *prone to exaggeration*
7:39 pm

The da 4/5 is March 3, 2010 and here is my story for today. I am not in a good st5/10 of mind right now. I am in a very te 5/14 mood. I didn't have a very good day today. In fact, it was a sh 6/27 day. I had to da 4/6 out of the house since I was late for work. Then my car over he4/5ed on the way to work.Then I had to deal with administrative bullsh4/5 at work.I ate a boring lunch because I am on a di 4/5. I had a di 4/6 of left over veggies from last night. Then I got home and had to du 4/6 my du 5/18 furniture. I am having unexpected company coming. I wish I had a ma 4/6! I came home to deal with my ma4/5 who has to di4/5 everytime I Babble. I just hi 4/5 right back at him. I wish I could ma 4/6 his face in sometimes. I think I'll be a he 9/60 & he 8/45 to get up tomorrow for fear of having the sa 4/5 kind of day as today.This is one of my worst days in hi4/5ory I think. I think I should go to ma 4/5 this week to get rid of my hatefulness. At least I got to sa 7/28 myself w/babbling on babble websi4/4. By the way, everything I just sa4/5 is not true. I am going to get out of this se 4/4 and go eat a ta 5/14 dinner of ta5/10 tots and hamburgers and then raid my st 5/12 of candy and watch television.

Surgery Saved my life. Or in some cases not. I just saw this woman (that was pixulated) involved in a boating accident and the trauma surgeon saying ''Sometimes you juts got to know when to let it go and no matter what you do you can't save everyone''

smart surgeon, IMHO
9:51 pm
herinfernallady

O no she didn't live. She did die and they did show it. It was done with great respect. They knew that they could do all the intervention in the world like cpr and such but it would not make a difference. You actually get to see her heart rate on a monitor beating at 34 beats a minute then the surgeon says ''she is dying we can't do anything at all '' and then nothing. It was one of those ''wow'' even though it is a real life show it was very real life
