Yes JC that is why I am studying if i have nothing better to do. You truly are nothing but an ignorant mad as a hatter twat
1:22 am
J. C.

Hmmm. You behave like one then accuse me of it? Priceless. You must really enjoy showing yourself up.
1:23 am

And I would love to post the hateful emails you have sent
1:24 am
J. C.

You can't post imagination.

what a lovely picture flosey...I so want to take my son that way during storm season to see all the crashing waves

As I've done nothing of the sort.

Barb, it was magnificent, you really must see it - we were there in October

Well I’ve just found out something rather erm, “interesting” - as a friend alerted me to in an e-mail, telling me to look at “today’s” chat archive starting at 10:42 pm
1:26 am
Barb's Horses

we went long ago when I was a child to Long Beach....actually it was the year there were two murders and we wondered why there were helicopters. It was great watching the waves
1:26 am

hi jili
1:27 am
J. C.

Well it can't involve me, as I've said nothing about you or anyone else here. You have some imagination.
1:27 am
flosey

I agree Jilli, no need for unkind words in chog
1:28 am
J. C.

Maybe she should give up and be silent. There is no need for this nastiness she insists on trying to create. It's ridiculous. Nonsense.
1:28 am
J. C.

I couldn't agree more, Jill and Flo.

yeah josh
1:31 am
herinfernallady

Lets see: that is why I have about half a dozen emails from Julian Clary in my email in box. Talk about imagination. Would you prefer me to post ALL of them in a public web page humiliating you like you do to others. Thankfully I have a little bit more tact that to stoop to someone as low as you and a complete embarrassment to the Theatre and GLBT scene. (Go right ahead and call me a homophobe all you like since I have been fighting for equal gay rights for the last 12 years)
1:32 am
flosey

herin, let it go for goodness sake
1:33 am

I heartily second that, flosey.

pole even
1:34 am
Barb's Horses

thanks for the offer josh
1:34 am
J. C.

Considering I only sent you two, that is indeed some imagination. I replied to the two you sent - that was it. Yes, go right ahead - I haven't said anything to be ashamed of, as you seem to believe. Jill received BCC copies of each at the time they were sent to you - so nice try. I'm not an embarrassment to anything - but you're certainly embarrassing youself here, and probably everyone else. Nice going. Why would I call you a homophobe? You haven't made any anti-gay slurs I'm aware of - certainly none here. Homophobe wouldn't be the term for you. Now please - grow up, get a life and mind your own business.

That's correct, Barb - should work?

it just won't take that word. I tried it too.
1:52 am
J. C.

But you're right - it doesn't.
1:52 am

Hmmm.
1:52 am

I think it's a trade name, barb.

I think so.

no, how nice rolin
1:58 am

yeah... i asked him if he had heard of the website...playbabble...
1:58 am
jillibus

did you, rolin? Where?
1:58 am
flosey

did you see Julian perform?
1:59 am
rolin

i went to his show that was on near me...
1:59 am
flosey

great, rolin
1:59 am
flosey

and you got to meet him after the show?
1:59 am
rolin

yeah it was a fun show....but his reaction was that he'd never heard of babble...
2:01 am
flosey

strange!
2:01 am
rolin

yup..ppl could line up and get pics and have him sign merchandise....
2:02 am
flosey

oh, did you get a pic together?
2:03 am
rolin

nah..... i was just interested in seeing if he would either verify our j.c.....or expose him
2:04 am
rolin

but now when i think about it...either our j.c. is a fake... or the real one prefers not to acknowledge us...
2:04 am
rolin

either way....its not nice
2:04 am
rolin

either way....its not nice
2:04 am
flosey

hmmm, strange
2:06 am
rolin

im wondering if j.c.is still online...which he appears to be... would come and settle it for me..
2:06 am
jillibus

Dr_God has verified that JC is who he says he is.
2:06 am
gremlinn

Is Julian Clary someone famous?
2:06 am
flosey

good jilli, that's settled
2:07 am

hes a well known comedian....turned author....
2:07 am

just returned from shows in Australia
2:07 am

He's well known in the UK and Australia and NZ.
2:08 am

I'm good at not knowing celebrities even in the U.S.
2:08 am

cool..so if dr. god says he is julian clary.. the maybe he should change his login....to j.e.....lol

And JC is no fake.

Yeah, but it's a fun way to get a conversation going, heh.
2:15 am

sure...and thats great.... but why pretend he doesnt.... he looked me in the eyes and said he didnt know what i was talking about... why couldnt he have said..oh hi rolin..nice to meet you...move on..
2:15 am

There is that going for it. I knew I knew Stephen Fry from somewhere, but had to google him to figure it out.

hi Rolin. Really good. Winter has arrived, cold and darkish at 5.30. Lovely! How are you and family?
2:34 am
rolin

we're really well.. busy... my kids have had successes.. but im watching the election results very closely..
2:36 am
lynxxx

Yeah, the good voter turnout is making the news here - bad luck about that!
2:36 am
rolin

well i dont understand why they run elections on a weekday...!... why no the weekend like aus...
2:37 am
lynxxx

It would be asking for trouble it seems - perhaps they don't want to pay penalty rates to electoral workers?
2:39 am
rolin

lol.. perhaps.. tho penalty rates really dont exist here anymore... i used to do the polls when i was there... it was fun in our little town.. we knew mostly everyone so it was a social occasion really..
2:41 am
Haz1558

Good morning/evening all. You can't mess with tradition. Elections are always on a Thursday. It's in the law of England.
2:41 am
rolin

lol... but why haz?
2:42 am
Haz1558

I don't know why. It just is.....
2:42 am
lynxxx

Hello Haz. Shrove Tuesday, Voting Thursday - why not I suppose
2:42 am
Haz1558

Isn't it a good thing to not have to worry about what day of the week to have it? Election = Thursday.
2:42 am
Haz1558

It's like school uniform. A certainty in life in a changing world.
2:43 am
Haz1558

You don't have to worry about what to wear when you've got a school uniform. Mind you, there's always the customisingthat goes on.
2:44 am
rolin

but it seems to me that having it on a work day.. means that you are in dangre of having what happened.. ppl going out after work..and being locked out...with a sat...you have all day
2:45 am
Haz1558

The people in England obviously don't use the Irish method of voting - vote early, vote often. (There used to be an awful lot of personation going on, kind of wiped out now with photo id required). There must have been major problems with staffing or something in those centres.
2:47 am
rolin

im just listening to the bbc reports...and they are quoting 'the constitution'...but britain doesnt actually have a constitution
2:47 am
Haz1558

The constitution is unwritten but understood - a bit like the rules in babble chat etiquette.
2:51 am
rolin

it is amazing tho that a country that is so old..has never put the constitution to paper..
2:51 am
rolin

i wonde rif the queen votes??
2:51 am
lynxxx

perhaps because it has a queen/king ??
2:52 am
rolin

well strictly speaking aus has a queen..
2:52 am
Haz1558

I know, but I kind of like it. The constitiution has come together over hundreds of years and is subject to change etc.
2:53 am
Haz1558

I'm not sure if she is permitted to vote or not.
2:53 am
Haz1558

She probably says that she can't vote just to keep the candidates away.
2:54 am
Haz1558

Can you imagine loudspeaker cars circling Buckingham Palace. 'Make your vote count!'
2:54 am
rolin

lol...oh if only we could all do the same

they could sponsoe buzzbies in party colours..

not life lynxxx, I really need to get a life
3:00 am

Oh yes, I remember you saying you were going to do that. Has the move been completely accomplished now?
3:00 am

You were there for so long, I suppose there was a lot to sort out. How is it working for you?
3:01 am

I am now ensconsed in what was supposed to be the dining room, everything in its place and I feel much more relaxed working
3:01 am

I ditched the panasonic 7 phone system I had[ will get my niece to sell it on ebay for me] and found a 2 line phone with 3 handsets so I can wonder up to the veg patch if I like.The fax, computer, fax and eptos machine took some more lines and so I am all set up

hi Katie! Siesta time again?

3:05 am

it will please you to know we are just doing the online check in to come home

How could you bear to be away with the election happening?
3:09 am
KatieMcG

the internet is a wonderful thing
3:09 am
Haz1558

It's not the same. You don't get David Dimbleby squinting through his glasses on the internet. (Has no-one told him about varifocals?)
3:10 am
lynxxx

Can you vote online?
3:11 am
Haz1558

I don't think so - postal votes are about as sophisticated as we get.
3:13 am
Andree

us too haz, I guess voting on line would open a can of worms
3:14 am
KatieMcG

and you can only do that if you are in the country 4 days before the election
3:14 am
Haz1558

I couldn't even begin to work out how they'd verify identity etc.
3:14 am

It does seem so logical though, wonder how long before it happens
3:15 am

You could use something like your tax file # as identification

I'm sure younger people would embrace the idea - older people I'm not so sure about. There were major difficulties here when the government made pensioners put their money into an account which they could only access using a fiddly wee machine.

Don't start it all again, please. Your dear friend has taken up more than enough babble time, in my opinion. And yes, I'm entitled to have one.
4:38 am

starting nothing, just expressing my disappointment. even under the tories there's no law against that...
4:38 am
Nancy Boy

did you get the result you hoped for, Rolin?
4:40 am
rolin

oh no ...while i think a hung parliament is theoretical interesting..its a disaster for the financial markets.. and the idea of a minority conservative gov...which i think will happen fills me with dread

Hello, herin.
4:41 am

quite - and in the face of so much Lib Dem optimism, as well! it worries me because we're in a time where, I think, where we need some powerful and decisive government...a hung parliament won't really achieve that
4:42 am

I am so confused as to what happens now in England parliament.
4:42 am

no it wont... so i think it will be 1974 all over again...
4:42 am
Haz1558

Any party, in order to have a majority, has to have 326 seats. In the event of failing to meet that, the parties can join forces in collaboration.
4:43 am

I was talking to the B.f about it and reading the uk google news
4:43 am
rolin

clegg is now saying that the tories should try to form a gov.
4:43 am
Haz1558

The minority parties can try to get some of their favourite policies adopted etc. It'll come down to who Nick Clegg is prepared to back.
4:44 am
herinfernallady

See I really can't comment on the whole UK PM thing as I don't like our 2 current choices.
4:44 am
Haz1558

Conservatives have won more seats, they would claim moral victory in that why should the two losing parties form a government. There'll be a bit of horse-trading.

it will take time to resolve the situation, but he has offered a change to the voting system, which is obviously a carrot for the lib dems
7:49 am
guernseygirl

thanks nan
7:50 am
NonoNanette

yw
7:50 am
lynxxx

what situation? the fact that some voters could not get into the polling stations?
7:51 am
Atalante

the entire lack of no one party being in the majority
7:51 am
guernseygirl

not that. we have a hung parliament - no one party has an overall majority
7:52 am
guernseygirl

not clear who will get to be in power
7:52 am
lynxxx

Do your parties not have preferences?
7:53 am
Atalante

um?
7:53 am
guernseygirl

at the moment they are arguing about which has the strongest claim to lead. both major parties would like the lib dems to support them so that they could get an overall majority of the seats
7:54 am
herinfernallady

Helo
7:54 am
guernseygirl

lib dems came third
7:54 am
lynxxx

Not so in Australia. The essence of preferential voting is that voters number candidates on the ballot paper in a rank order of choice. You put the number 1 next to your first choice candidate, 2 next to your second choice, and so on. If your first choice candidate is not elected and no candidate receives half of the vote, your vote may be re-examined for its next preference. The point of the system is to elect the most preferred candidate, to choose the candidate that can build an absolute majority of support in the electorate rather than the simple majority required for first past the post voting.
7:54 am
lynxxx

sorry, voting preferences as under
7:55 am
guernseygirl

that is the system that the lib dems (and me) would like over here. it seems much fairer
7:55 am

9:11 am
Haz1558

Do they know already that it's to be a girl?
9:12 am
72 Temple Owl

9:13 am
Haz1558

That gives them a head start on working out names, at least.
9:13 am
72 Temple Owl

Haz1558

9:16 am
72 Temple Owl

i think "snither" should be a word...need to come up with a definition
9:16 am
Judi

Snither here nor there. Morning, mates!
9:16 am
Mom

Oh Haz, think of the adventure you would have.
9:17 am

9:17 am
72 Temple Owl

hi judi. judi is NOT coming to the babble meet. she doesn't love us
9:17 am
Haz1558

Mom, I'm just not the adventurous type! Although funnily enough, I saw a lovely baby yesterday out shopping and had to resist the urge to pick him up and cuddle him.
9:17 am
Judi

Huh? Who? Where? What?
9:18 am
Haz1558

Now Judi is going to pretend she wasn't invited.
9:18 am
72 Temple Owl

i can honestly say i 've never really felt that emotion.
9:18 am
Judi

Refresh my swiss cheese memory. When is the meet?
9:18 am
Mom

I can't say as I did until I had my own.
9:18 am
72 Temple Owl

9:19 am
Haz1558

Really? He was a darling. I stood like a fool trying to get a smile.
9:19 am
Mom

all the children I had seen up until then were 'crumb snatchers, curtain climbers, rug rats" :-)
9:19 am
Judi

Hmmm. I'm free. Where's it going to be?
9:19 am
72 Temple Owl

i;ve heard that. perhaps it's bnautre's way, from the days when having them was not a matter of choice,
9:19 am
72 Temple Owl

chek seain's profile. it's a diner near johns hopkins
9:20 am
Haz1558

I like babies from about the 3 month to the 9 month stage especially. Old enough to know what you're doing with them, not old enough to be on the move and be potentially suicidal.
9:20 am
72 Temple Owl

i must call je, i don't think i even have the name may be in my browser history
9:20 am
SeaSpray

I always want to feel their hair Haz...so soft...am getting 21 month old granddaughter this evening for a sleep over

Judi

No, I don't, TO. How do you want to exchange this info?
9:28 am
SeaSpray

I'll never be able to afford to have my pearls dry cleaned lol
9:29 am
Mom

I don't have real pearls, just costume jewelry
9:30 am
Haz1558

Pearls are lovely, but to be honest, the fake ones are so good that I don't see that you can justify the price of the real ones.
9:30 am
FMitch

Saves on the insurance then Mom
9:30 am
SeaSpray

the imitation stuff can go in the dryer Mom
9:30 am
Mom

yes it does FMitch
9:31 am
Haz1558

Apparently, you can tell the real from the fake because real pearls are gritty to the teeth. How many of us go round demanding to have a go at someone's pearls with your pearlies?
9:31 am
Mom

lol Haz.
9:31 am
SeaSpray

Who wants to bite them?
9:32 am
Mom

When I got engaged a person actually took my engagement ring to a piece of glass to see if it was a real diamond

9:36 am

9:36 am

9:36 am
Mom

that is great Une
9:37 am
SeaSpray

9:37 am
Uneaixoise

well, ruru, she's taking a break before considering pursuing a PhD . . . but it's a possibility! LOL
9:37 am
Haz1558

Excellent, I hope she enjoys her new position. That's quite a distance from you, isn't it?
9:37 am
SeaSpray

wow, very ambitious
9:37 am

lol Seaspray
9:37 am
FMitch

She deserves to rest on her laurels for a little while at least!
9:37 am

9:38 am
SeaSpray

Now we are in the midst of planning a wedding
9:38 am
Uneaixoise

how exciting, seaspray!
9:38 am
Mom

it was funny, when he bought the engagement ring for his now ex=wife, she would n't settle for anything less than one carat. It was milky looking and really ugly. I told him his was zirconia
9:38 am
Mom

oh Sea, a wedding. How wonderful
9:38 am

9:39 am
Mom

I got a lot of laughs out of it
9:40 am
Mom

but it was a carat!
9:40 am
SeaSpray

There was a brief period in the mid to late 80's where it went down to 0.78 per gallon or so. Time warp. Apparently the Arabs drilled too much. Practically had to give it away.

Under your tutelage ruru I am sure he will be great :)

Precisely, Haz.
10:17 am
Haz1558

They're not known for being fast movers, so I reckon the keepers would have them rounded up quickly. Unless they had help from the outside with getaway vehicles.
10:17 am
Vicuna

Panda cars, in fact.
10:17 am
Vicuna

Hello, all.
10:18 am
Haz1558

Absolutely, VI. Hello!
10:18 am

Well Fiat did make a car especially for them HAz (or at least named after them) :)
10:18 am

Hiya, Vic!
10:18 am

Greetings Vi!
10:19 am

Pondering: what should I have for lunch?
10:19 am
Vicuna

We saw one just the other day, stalking the wild bamboo with skill and guile.
10:19 am
Haz1558

What would you like to have?
10:20 am
Haz1558

Was the panda on its own, VI?
10:20 am

10:20 am

Yeah. His wife had taken to her bed in case of pregnancy.
10:21 am
Vicuna

This was at the National Zoo in D.C.
10:21 am
Haz1558

he7 - what I dread unravelling in case I have to re5/14 it.
10:21 am
Haz1558

Taken to her bed? Morning sickness, I suppose.
10:22 am
FMitch

*ponders if mammals get morning sickness*
10:22 am
Vicuna

They had closed the panda house so no one could go inside, so she could get some privacy. But the gentleman was outside.
10:22 am
Vicuna

We're mammals, FM. (Although I got evening sickness, not morning sickness, myself.)
10:23 am
Haz1558

Was he looking suitably proud? Handing out cigars? Pacing up and down in practice for the birth?
10:23 am
Uniquity

**Pouts because this is another grid of phantoms!**

Haz1558

Hey ho Uni!

I will punctuate. Hey ho, Uni!
10:24 am
Haz1558

Is that better?
10:24 am

Well, are lengths of bamboo close enough to count as cigars?
10:24 am

Hello, Uni!

Lynn Truss would be proud! Also, I've got a short book in your profile. How exciting!
10:25 am
FMitch

Lol Vi, was thinking about poor elephant with her gestation period.

Hello Uni!!!!!!
10:25 am
Haz1558

I think so. If he was making pretend smoke rings, then I think you can safely assume that bamboo = cigar.
10:25 am
Uniquity

'Lo all!
10:26 am
Uniquity

Has my mother made her promised appearance yet today?
10:26 am
Vicuna

True, FM. No fun.

10:28 am
Haz1558

And you're looking at me to tackle the ceiling? Me, little tiny me?
10:28 am

Ceilings are FM's job, I think.
10:28 am
Vicuna

It's floors for you and me, Haz.
10:28 am

Methinks we might be waiting a while. The weather here is magnificent and I believe hers is as well. She'll never come inside!

No stilts for FM when she does the ceiling.

Come on out everyone *places water splurger on the ground*
Lovely to see yo again Lori.
10:36 am

Hazaurus! No worries about getting under the desk. All that's required for order to reign is FM's proper b
ehavior .....
10:36 am
Judi

Balloon sucking. How undignified. (could you pass one over, please?)
10:37 am
Uniquity

Red, white or rose, Judi? (Pretend there's an accent on that e, please.)
10:37 am
Haz1558

It's okay, I've fitted the extra long arm extensions so that I can keep typing. The periscope is difficult to master, but we're getting there.

10:38 am
Haz1558

Well, Lori, I'm very pleased to see you. You've been missed.
10:39 am
Uniquity

I've also got a 2 l. bottle of a terrible white "wine" known as "The Great White". Tastes awful and is 20%. Needs to go!
10:39 am
Judi

Pffth. And you thought you could only put cocaine in balloons.
10:39 am
LoriP

You'll notice I've taken typing classes during my hiatus.
10:39 am
Vicuna

If you've been missed, it's just because FM's aim isn't very good! ;)
10:40 am

LOL Vi!
10:40 am

*Re-align's FM's catapult*. Try again!

Dump it, Uni. Twould be unethical to subject anyone else to it.

My spelling mistakes have kept babble entertained for years now.
10:41 am

I wish "blempt" were a word. I don't like this grid.
10:42 am
LoriP

With FM it's one on one co-respondents. Vic how much white out is on your screen with THIS grid?
10:43 am
Vicuna

I think the white-out is in my brain.
10:43 am
Haz1558

It's a stinker of a grid.
10:43 am
LoriP

I tried some very impressive sounding words and they were declined. I think there's something wrong with enable.
10:43 am
Vicuna

Oh, there's just so much wrong with Enable.
10:43 am
FMitch

Perhaps we should start our own dictionary
10:43 am
aebmusica

hey Vi.......remover 2 letters and it is a word.
10:44 am
Haz1558

Enable has little imagination. So unwilling to test new waters.
10:44 am
Uniquity

And we're all such an adventurous lot! :)
10:44 am
Vicuna

Alas, i did already have that bl4. But thanks, aebmusica.
10:45 am

Wonder wjhat it would take to get Dr_G to update to a newer version of Enable?
10:45 am
Boobear

can someone reclue the he 7. I am stuck
10:45 am

But then there would be MORE words in the grid. That sounds like trouble.

10:45 am

Except when Enable accepts a word we don't know, we always complain about how stooopid it is, so maybe it's no wonder Enable won't stretch itself.
10:45 am
Haz1558

he7 - the length of a skirt, perhaps?
10:45 am

Hi aebmu

Was also going to query when Uni said she snapped her suspenders, did she mean the things that hold up socks or trousers or a particular piece of undergarment to hold up stockings? :)
10:51 am
Haz1558

I know. I wondered about that as well.
10:51 am

11:26 am
Haz1558

We probably should. Vi, I misread, your Nightshade has the opposite problem. Is she hyper?
11:26 am
Vicuna

Nightshade's is hypER, and she wasn't so much lethargic as just losing a lot of weight.
11:27 am
Vicuna

No, not really hyperactive. But she got weird urges to eat stuff she never liked before.
11:27 am
72 Temple Owl

did judi say she would stop back in today?
11:27 am
Haz1558

I knew Spangle wasn't right because she was so unwilling to walk very far and just lacking her usual bounce. Blood tests confirmed it.
11:27 am

Judi said she was going for lunch, not sure if she'll be back.

yes... less pucker power, especially at end of sip. the labels will often tell you soft tannin.. low tannin...ask at liquor store for help... doesn't need to be too dry. a little sweetness would not go amiss

I know why (dont hit me) but I cashed in a 401K two years ago to buy some property. Got hit with that added to my income and owed the government lots of money besides not qualifying for any credits or even deductions - sucked for us poor folk - its the only way we could have bought the property

12:55 pm
Riverdance

no plans at all - was thinking about taking my Mom out for breakfast - just the 2 of us - otherwise I would like nice quiet day at home, maybe sitting outside with a nice glass of wine - or if raining babbling with a nice glass of wine
12:56 pm
Boobear

well have a great Mom's day
12:56 pm
Riverdance

whatever I do it will be with a nice glass of wine
12:56 pm

1:00 pm
rubyfoo

I worked out a detente after that last war, and it seems to be holding, at least for now
1:01 pm

1:03 pm
rubyfoo

yes, soodle, it really does
1:04 pm
rubyfoo

there are a lot of birds in this grid
1:05 pm

1:05 pm
rubyfoo

every time I cuddle Ruby, I worry about her getting older
1:06 pm
rubyfoo

1:06 pm
rubyfoo

losing a dog is horrible
1:07 pm
Riverdance

1:07 pm
Riverdance

and that was 10 years ago
1:07 pm
rubyfoo

when our Rufus was put down, I had the vet come to the house and I held him on my lap and had him buried in the garden next to Cleo
1:08 pm
rubyfoo

my husband wants to be buried next to the dogs, but I think it's against the law!
1:08 pm
Riverdance

I thought it would be comforting to talk to her as I am looking at my flowers.
1:08 pm
Riverdance

we can come and take of that for your ruby - lol
1:09 pm
rubyfoo

when Ruby is upset or afraid of the wind or thunder, she hunkers down on the graves, really spooky
1:09 pm
Riverdance

1:09 pm
rubyfoo

I was just thinking the same thing, mom! needed a laugh!
1:10 pm
rubyfoo

my son might be coming next week, but still hasn't firmed up his plans. They're coming standby and will be here the 12th or 13th or whatever. His wife is a vegetarian and he is gluten-free! Happy Mothers' Day to me hahahah
1:12 pm
Riverdance

Oh, you will have a great time. Just have lots of salad stuff on hand. There is breakfast salad, lunch salad and supper salad. Covers both issues
1:13 pm
rubyfoo

at least he eats eggs (she doesn't) but I can't even make couscous for my boy, and it's his favorite dish!
1:14 pm
Riverdance

there must be a gluten free section in your grocery store that may have something similar to a couscous
1:15 pm
rubyfoo

I wonder if he eats quinoa?
1:16 pm
rubyfoo

are you kidding, separate a Frenchman from his bread????
1:17 pm
Riverdance

I dont know what that is - but if he is gluten free for a medical reason - he mostly likely does not eat bread anymore
1:17 pm
rubyfoo

I just reached half at last, YAY, and will be off for the night. See you tomorrow while the lamb is spinning on the spit!
1:17 pm
Riverdance

3:33 pm
stidmama

how about you?
3:35 pm
lawyer-1

got a potential medical problem that has me in a funk
3:36 pm
stidmama

oh no. (((lawyer))) that's too bad. Anything I can "do" to help?
3:36 pm
lawyer-1

help me get my mind off my problem
3:36 pm
stidmama

okay, what's black and white and red all over?
3:37 pm
lawyer-1

a sunburned penguin
3:37 pm
lawyer-1

a shot nun
3:37 pm
stidmama

oh! that's a good one! I was thinking newspaper being red...
3:37 pm
stidmama

ewww. don't like the nun one.
3:38 pm

3:38 pm

3:38 pm
lawyer-1

newspapers are read, not red...it's an oral joke
3:38 pm
stidmama

I know, lawyer, but since I can't "say" it I had to pick one or the other. *sigh*
3:38 pm
lawyer-1

so, what r ur weekend plans?
3:38 pm
stidmama

okay, so that doesn't work.
3:39 pm
stidmama

Homework, of course, trying to work ahead on some of the required assignments, since I have to miss one week of classes to teach. And gardening. A LOT of gardening. Tom and the boys must get the fence up around the veggie garden so I can plant!
3:40 pm
stidmama

how about you? hanging out with some grands?
3:40 pm
lawyer-1

I miss not having a veggie garden
3:41 pm
lawyer-1

no, we are heading up to PA for a warehouse shoe sale
3:41 pm
stidmama

I did, too -- couldn't work outside at all last year (couldn't walk or get up and down) and so nothing got done. Tom will garden, but I am the one who loves to plan and plant.
3:41 pm
stidmama

hm. shoe sale sounds like a good alternative! LOL
3:41 pm
redturtlehead

Evening all. how is everyone going along?
3:42 pm

3:42 pm
lawyer-1

It's Hanover shoe, so they have Clark's, Bostonian, etc.
3:42 pm
stidmama

oh, those are NICE shoes!
3:43 pm
stidmama

my paternal unit swears by Clark's
3:43 pm
lawyer-1

especially at $19.95 a pair
3:43 pm
stidmama

*gasp* almost would make the airfare worth it! LOL
3:43 pm
redturtlehead

I should have my Parents drive on over. is it in Hanover?
3:44 pm
lawyer-1

My wife refers to me as the male Immelda marcos
3:44 pm
lawyer-1

It is on the square in Hanover
3:44 pm
redturtlehead

Ahh, I will send my parents a message, they do not live that close, but not that far either, and both are a bit picky about shoes.
3:45 pm
stidmama

3:50 pm
stidmama

well, down to 55 and have to keep working on this obnoxious "survey of the literature" -- it's crap, but it's also half written and not due for a few weeks so if I get it "done" now then all I have to do later is tweak the little things.
3:50 pm
redturtlehead

Oh and an update, my "avocado plant" turend out to be elephant ears that were dormant, oops.
3:51 pm

neither Herm nor Sark have cars, but Herm is smaller and i think has less than 50 people
4:56 pm
guernseygirl

Sark has about 400. very high cliffs and a very narrow pass between the two parts of the island. scary to walk across
4:56 pm
Trezz

i remember taking the ferry to one of them and walking around the whole island pretty much
4:56 pm
Trezz

i like guernsey a lot more than jersey though
4:56 pm
guernseygirl

that'd be Herm. Also very pretty
4:57 pm
guernseygirl

i think Jersey is a bit more commercialised than Guernsey - good zoo though
4:57 pm
guernseygirl

what part of the world do you come from?
4:57 pm
Trezz

haha yes the darwin zoo is that? i liked it there
4:58 pm

hi folks, catching up with the chat, crossy, glad to hear you are on a campaign to fix the apnea problem, I'm wishing you the best - here is some hope for you - hubby had bad apnea too, did the sleep study, etc. CPAP, all that, then lost weight (unfortunately not voluntarily) but guess what - no more apnea!!

NB, join me in the PB with cocktails - Mom wants to talk and hug of course
6:51 pm
Nancy Boy

the strange this is, it's not really a religion thing - my family are buddhist, which has very little against being gay. It's the culture itself, I guess
6:51 pm
Nancy Boy

it's okay, I can deal with some coddling ;)
6:51 pm
stidmama

I know cross! I am considering (after I am done with school...) getting a divorce here in the U.S. and then going up to Canada for getting married. And then coming back and insisting they also accept the marriages of the family members who have gone to Canada to get married because they can't in the states.
6:51 pm

It's a sometimes difficult path you have chosen NancyBoy but there is a lot of happiness there. I hope that someday your family will come to accept it and you can have a relationship again

some people just cant change from what they were brought up in - I told my parents I was getting a divorce 26 years ago. My Mom blew her top blaming me, how could I. But the times and their beliefs wouldnt allow it. It took a long time for us to reconcile but we did. The old countries are that much harder

ask someone over to take his attention away from it, red .. we have the same problem with our dogs. the basset hounds would lay down and let us dremel tool their nails. now, the border collie and golden have us thinking we're torturing them. no filing allowed, freaks them out. and last time, my other half nipped a vein .. messy
7:13 pm
redturtlehead

Welki, its usually me, the last time I had him sedated and had them do a big cut at the vet, but it seems to have traumatized him more, they really cut them shorter than I thought necessary...now he gets snarly, which is totally unlike him, or he cries and shakes all over.
7:13 pm
welki

take tiny bits off, if you must do it yourself ... a tiny bit, a tiny cookie ... a tiny bit, a tiny cookie (or big "good boy," if that works). might take longer, but you'll get it done eventually
7:14 pm

I probably should use like cut up hot dogs.

It is my fault, for not handling his feet all the time when he was young.
7:15 pm
redturtlehead

I spent about 30 minutes today trimming with a large human clipper, he did sort of ok until the end.
7:15 pm
welki

i think you need to make the treat specific to the job .. maybe it will perk him up if he realizes the only time he gets (for instance) hot dogs is when he lets you trim his nails
7:16 pm
redturtlehead

yes, thats a good idea welki. need to figure out what he likes a lot, maybe some salty ham.
7:16 pm
welki

we handled baxter's feet (murray is a rescue) ... i think some dogs are just more sensitive than others (or maybe it's a golden thing .. what's ruru say?)
7:16 pm

I have two black labs and have never cut their nails. We live in the country so they go for many walks in the woods - the rough surface keeps their nail at the right length

"Engineered to roll naturally, the rocker outsole induces a normal walking motion while naturally toning leg muscles. It also benefits users by promoting a perfect posture, reducing stress on muscles, joints and back, giving you energy all day long.

An anatomically correct patented interlocking footbed system with arch support that is loaded with latex, memory foam and cork to create a "perfect fit" every time by forming to the natural contours of the foot, giving each user their own customized fit. Footbed is removable and available in medium and wide widths." (no narrows :(

CadFan

This little penny is to wish on
And make your wishes come true
This little penny is to dream on
Dream of all you can do
This little penny is a dancing penny
See how it glitters and it glows
Bright as a whistle
Light as a thistle
Quick, quick as a wink
Up on it's twinkling toes
This little penny is to laugh on
To see that tears never fall
This this little penny
Is the last little penny
And the most important of all
For this penny is to love on
And where love is, heaven is there
So with just five pennies, if they're these five pennies
You'll be a millionaire
For this penny is to love on
And where love is, heaven is there
So with just five pennies, if they're these five pennies
You'll be a millionaire

9:42 pm
pippingeek

i'm convinced the only reason they haven't yet come out with a biopic about kaye (cause he's amazing and they should) is because no current actor could do him justice
9:42 pm

pretty incredible! LOL
10:19 pm
hootowl

Une - hi! Glad to see you are ok. Did you have any damage? How's your mother? Ok I hope.
10:19 pm
Uneaixoise

hootowl, I was asking about you -- and emailed Greywoulf but didn't get a response! I'm fine and so is Mother -- and you??
10:20 pm
Uneaixoise

I'm very very lucky -- sooooo much destruction here . . .
10:21 pm
hootowl

Lots & lots of water but nothing else! The worst was listening to siren warnings that were for somewhere else!
10:21 pm
Uneaixoise

I was at my daughter's graduation in Michigan but knew what was going on . . . drove back here Sunday
10:22 pm
hootowl

I worried. They never mentioned how much power was out - just flooding.
10:22 pm
Uneaixoise

some power is still out . . .
10:22 pm
hootowl

Well that's one way to miss a mess:D
10:23 pm
Uneaixoise

incredible to think that landmarks like Opryland Hotel will be closed for 6 months and the symphony hall until September
10:23 pm
hootowl

Now I can stop worrying.
10:23 pm
Uneaixoise

:-D
10:23 pm

I shudder to think of the mold!
10:23 pm

oh, i know . . . ugh

Haven't kept up with the news; is Nasville getting gov help?
10:25 pm
hootowl

Nashville
10:25 pm
Uneaixoise

yep . . . declared a federal disaster area -- lots of instructions being posted on a gazillion websites about how to apply for FEMA aid
10:26 pm
hootowl

Well that should help. But you know there will be people who manage to NOT find the info.
10:26 pm
Uneaixoise

needless to say, no one has flood insurance
10:27 pm
Uneaixoise

they've even got volunteers with laptops in all the shelters who're applying on behalf of those who need help (esp elderly -- many of those)
10:28 pm
hootowl

why should you? If it hasn't flooded since who-knows-when, it never occurs to anyone. And I'll bet the people with homeowners will be denied help for some reason.
10:29 pm
Uneaixoise

no doubt
10:29 pm
hootowl

That's a good idea. Hooray for volunteers and laptops!
10:29 pm
Uneaixoise

the number of volunteers out there doing everything imaginable is truly heroic
10:30 pm
hootowl

I think whoever got the idea should get a medal or something. It's a brilliant idea!
10:31 pm
Uneaixoise

necessity as mother of invention, eh?
10:31 pm
hootowl

yep
10:33 pm
Uneaixoise

re7/28 please?
10:34 pm

it's a plural

I have an re7/28 that's a plural.

I don't get to play very often.
10:39 pm

I had a special reason to get on tonight -- the twin grandbabies were born last night! A bit early, but doing well.

well congrats grandma! Best wishes to the new mother too

Thanks. Now the next thing is to figure out when we're going to get to see them! (By car, we live ~20 hours away.)
10:43 pm

10:43 pm

Very Excellent!
10:44 pm

NC to TX?? I suppose. But we have been boarding one of their dogs, so we'll need to make the trip to return her to them.
10:44 pm
Uneaixoise

indeed! :-)
10:46 pm
hootowl

well in that case I's wait a while. Let them sattle into a twin routine first and then bring the dog to mix them all up again.:D
10:47 pm

my typing has gone south! It's - settle

We think the twins will spend 3 weeks in the hospital.

DO they have names gwen?
10:50 pm
hootowl

Sounds like a great way for them to make more money. Healthier to take them home. They can get sick IN the hospital
10:50 pm

Yep. Khloe Reese & Joah Scott.
10:51 pm

10:51 pm

10:53 pm

I'd never hear of that name before. But I found it later in an on-line list. Definition was something like friend of God.

I expected them to have less-common names, since their mom has a very common name (Amanda). She always had several girls in school classroom with the same name, and some even shared her middle name.
