You know how it goes -- looks like fun until slam, there's the wall.

I'm a little coffee-jangly!
2:26 am

Yes, I know what you mean.
2:27 am

but making that mistake got me a whole bunch of other words: c's, h's
2:28 am
gapeach1066@yaho

Great going there, girl.
2:28 am
rubyfoo

96 words and will be happy if I reach half!
2:30 am

I've been on for two and a half hours and have only l59.
2:32 am

sounds great to me!
2:32 am
gapeach1066@yaho

Has it been a nice weekend there?
2:33 am
rubyfoo

it's the first good weather we've had, after two weeks of visitors and constant rain!
2:33 am
rubyfoo

everybody is gone, just us and the sunshine
2:33 am
rubyfoo

how about you. Is it hot yet?
2:34 am
gapeach1066@yaho

That makes it nicer, eh?
2:34 am
rubyfoo

are you still having that awful drought or did it sort itself out over the winter?
2:35 am
gapeach1066@yaho

Oh, yes, it is hot and HUMID. I just killed the first Palmetto bug this year! I really despise them. Just cockroaches on steroids. UGH!
2:36 am
rubyfoo

we had them in Miami; I used to drop a phone book on them from shoulder height and then the phone book would alk away!
2:36 am
gapeach1066@yaho

We did get some rain last week....but not nearly enough.....had severe thunder storm warnings on TV. We were lucky it passed by.
2:37 am
rubyfoo

are there still water restrictions?
2:39 am
gapeach1066@yaho

HAHAHA! OMG, that's a good one. I have a dust mop that works pretty well....if I can get them covered....they won't be here any more (of course, their entire family will envade the house) hope I don't give myself nightmares....HaHa.
2:40 am
rubyfoo

I was the only one who wasn't afraid to at least try to kill them. The other women would climb on their chairs and scream!
2:41 am
gapeach1066@yaho

Yes, we are told to water every other day. I don't have much yard space....enough for flowers and a great little covered patio.
2:41 am
rubyfoo

my sister, in NY, is afraid of even small roaches. Of course, I don't like them, but not afraid.
2:41 am
rubyfoo

not covered in kudzu, I hope, or the house might disappear!
2:43 am
gapeach1066@yaho

I've seen some very artful displays that mother nature does with that stuff....but no, we aren't bothered with that. There's a service that comes and keeps the yards and bushes trimmed....community association does that.
2:44 am
rubyfoo

do you have roses on your terrace?
2:44 am
rubyfoo

patio, I meant
2:44 am
jillibus

hi peach -- I've just come back from doing this and that.
2:45 am
jillibus

I'm envious of your weather -- everything in the garden has slowed down, it's been so chilly and damp.
2:46 am
rubyfoo

the veg garden has taken a reall beating; most of the stuff didn't even germinate - too cold and rainy
2:46 am
gapeach1066@yaho

Not yet, ruby....I moved here last December and am just starting to get some potted flowers on the patio but there is room for some roses.....I can't do a great deal caring for plants and flowers now.
2:47 am
rubyfoo

this is my first garden (and I'm old!) and it is a great delight!
2:47 am
gapeach1066@yaho

Hi there, jilli......I trust you are well tonight?
2:47 am
jillibus

But at least the flowers in my icon are blooming as are several others like columbine and azaleas and rhodos -- but no roses or peonies yet. Of course, it's not June yet either, lol!
2:47 am
rubyfoo

everything is at least a month late this year. Last year I had figs in June!
2:48 am
gapeach1066@yaho

Good for you, ruby. I turned 72 on the 12th of this month.....can't even begin to do the things that I want to do.....just do as much as I can and then rest.
2:48 am
jillibus

I'm fine, thanks, ruby, but about to head for bed ;)
2:49 am
rubyfoo

sweet dreams, jilli! dream of flowers and upppies!
2:49 am
rubyfoo

I feel the same way, do what I can and then lie down for an hour or two
2:49 am
rubyfoo

that was uppies, no uppies
2:49 am
rubyfoo

2:49 am
jillibus

Well, I'm lucky to have a good youngish lady gardener/designer originally from England.

I had better get dressed; husband will be annoyed when he gets back from the store!
2:50 am
gapeach1066@yaho

I'm glad you have a veg garden.....I thought about a large clay pot and some tomato plants in it...I think about a lot of things....HA HA.
2:51 am
jillibus

belated happy birthday, peach!
2:51 am
rubyfoo

I only had good tomatoes one year out of 11! It's not worth the effort! Maybe cherry tomatoes in a pot?
2:51 am
rubyfoo

and to you jilli!
2:51 am
gapeach1066@yaho

Nice to talk with you and jilli tonight. I'm going to go to bed too, jilli.
2:51 am

No veg garden here -- deer would eat everything. I don't have enough of an area fenced off.
2:51 am

Got the bargain of the year yesterday 5 hosta plant for £20 at the local garden centre each one would have cost me at leat £10 and they are all ready to start flowering.
3:32 am
FMitch

Morning Haz, good to see you.
3:32 am
Haz1558

Hello! I'm only here temporarily but couldn't resist greeting you all.
3:32 am
sprite

encouragement from the heavens, FM! Or at least from the garden center.
3:32 am
FMitch

sheesh, missed commas and the word 'each' out of that last post.
3:33 am
lynxxx

don't know if you have snails FM but they love hostas too
3:33 am
Andree

hi haz
3:33 am
sprite

those darn snails seem to love everything young and green. Anyone good remedies to keep them away?
3:34 am
FMitch

I know lynxxx, am keeping fingers croosed as I haven't seen a slug or snail in the garden yet.
3:34 am
Haz1558

Hello, Andree.
3:34 am
Haz1558

Aren't crushed egg shells supposed to be good?
3:34 am
lynxxx

lucky FM, those birds are doing a good job
3:34 am
FMitch

Did Mr Haz get the ceiling painted for you Haz?
3:35 am
lynxxx

I know used coffee grounds don't work
3:35 am
Haz1558

No, Mr Haz did not paint the ceiling. Mr Haz took himself off to do gardening for his sister. I did the ceiling myself....
3:35 am
sprite

oh true, they don't like sharp edges, do they?
3:35 am
FMitch

Ah OK! but well done you.
3:35 am
Andree

in my veg patch the possums don't leave enough for the snails, its very discouraging
3:35 am
Atalante

Mr Haz!!
3:36 am
Haz1558

I know!
3:36 am
sprite

aw Andree :(
3:36 am
Atalante

did Spangle get dripped on?
3:36 am
lynxxx

I go out about 9pm and pick up snails and put them in the garbage bin. Take out a salt container to sprinkle on slugs - I hate slugs they are too disgusting
3:36 am
sprite

well at least now it is done really well, Haz. With a woman's touch.
3:36 am
Andree

the best way to get snails is to go out after dark with a torch
3:36 am
sprite

somebody told me they love beer. And die from it.
3:37 am
lynxxx

I am very impressed Haz
3:37 am
Haz1558

But in his defence, although why I should be defending him, I don't know, it was REALLY warm on Saturday evening and he would probably have killed himself trying to do it (he turns incredibly red and sweaty). So I turned red and sweaty instead.
3:37 am
sprite

they are scared of a torch?
3:37 am
FMitch

LOL oh Haz!!
3:38 am
Haz1558

Honestly, at one point I caught sight of myself in a mirror and I looked even hotter than I felt.
3:38 am
FMitch

you poor dear! but I am chuckling away at the image (sorry) :)
3:38 am
Haz1558

However, it is done (and he hasn't dared go into the room to point out any minuscule areas that I missed) and it's ready for the papering to start.
3:38 am
Andree

lol sprite, thats how as lynxxx just posted you can pick them up easily
3:39 am
sprite

*grins* I couldn't resist, Andree, sorry.
3:39 am
lynxxx

what room are you doing now Haz?
3:39 am
Haz1558

It's my younger daughter's bedroom, lynxxx.
3:39 am
sprite

George said he thought you looked hot, Haz, but I didn't understand what he meant until now.
3:39 am
Haz1558

It was intended to change it from being her bedroom into a spare bedroom, but now she has decided to come home for a while.
3:40 am
FMitch

LOL sprite
3:40 am
Haz1558

Honestly, sprite, I looked hot, but DEEPLY unattractive. I'd have scared horses in the street if there had been any around.
3:40 am
sprite

he loved you just the same, Haz
3:41 am
Atalante

oh Haz! I have a giggle from Liz
3:41 am
Haz1558

Has Toyah shown up on Sark or something?
3:41 am
Atalante

Toyah is going to be playing in Guernsey!
3:41 am
Haz1558

Gosh, there's a reason for getting in a boat.
3:41 am
FMitch

oh how funny.
3:41 am
Haz1558

Heading to Jersey.
3:42 am
sprite

do you like it, Haz, having your daughter back home?
3:42 am
Atalante

Heading FAR away from Guernsey! It's soon as well. At a big festival
3:43 am
Haz1558

She's not back yet, Sprite. She'll be home probably middle of July. It's going to be strange having her back after effectively five years away although she's been home for holidays etc. But her job in Edinburgh just hasn't worked out very well and I think she needs time to regroup.
3:43 am
lynxxx

who is Toyah?
3:43 am
Haz1558

How do you explain Toyah?
3:44 am
sprite

you're a good mum, Haz.

Haz1558

Toyah Wilcox, started off as pop singer, turned actress, lisps, wears extraordinary clothes and strange hair, takes herself pretty seriously.
3:44 am
FMitch

Toya was a pop star back a while in the late 70s if I remember correctly.
3:45 am
Atalante

she now Gardens I think
3:45 am
FMitch

Ah, Haz has done a much better bio than me.
3:46 am
Haz1558

Ata, tell them about her wanting her name removed from Liz's blog. That was hilarious.
3:46 am
sprite

a less talented Madonna?
3:46 am
Atalante

I can't remember all the details! But Liz had a big run-in with Toyah's PA over Liz mentioning Toyah's name in her blog
3:47 am
Haz1558

She's not in the same league as Madonna, just thinks she's important.
3:47 am
Atalante

Toyah is to Madonna as MKG is to Haz
3:47 am
FMitch

ROFL
3:47 am
sprite

lolllllllllllll ouch ouch ouch
3:47 am
Haz1558

She was supposed to come to Sark to do something, didn't show, Liz mentioned it in her blog, the PA objected to negative publicity. She's been a laughing stock in babble since.
3:47 am
lynxxx

Not exactly aging gracefully,read her blog and she is on about her hip replacement.
3:48 am
sprite

that is pathetic
3:48 am
Haz1558

And I thought my en9 clue was so good, it flew right over her head.
3:48 am
Andree

what a hoot
3:49 am
Atalante

and now SHe's Back in the CHannel Islands. Liz and I are very amused
3:49 am

I wonder. Will drG get a demand this chog is removed?
3:49 am
Haz1558

Did she not do I'm a Celebrity a while back. Or as I heard it called the other day 'I'm a Celebrity, give me some panto work'
3:50 am
sprite

what is panto work, Haz?
3:50 am
Atalante

snerk
3:50 am
Haz1558

Pantomime - staged every Christmas in theatres all around Britain. Mostly peopled with ex-TV people along with fading stars.
3:51 am
sprite

oh I never knew. Thanks.
3:51 am
Haz1558

They're tremendous fun, but you'd have to say that if someone is appearing in panto then they're possibly on the wrong side of the climb to fame.
3:51 am
Atalante

Eastenders stars
3:51 am
sandyloo

they do shows like Cinderella and such fairy tales
3:51 am
Haz1558

Cue enraged letters of complaints from PAs to stars....
3:51 am

Targeted at children Sprite
3:52 am

Oh now come on, the tradition of panto goes back such a long time.
3:52 am
sandyloo

I used to take my kids to pantos every year when they were little
3:52 am
sprite

hey sandy :)
3:52 am
Haz1558

It does indeed, and it's only lately that there's been the trend to have exTV people doing a turn, mainly to attract people in to see the show.
3:52 am
sprite

we don't have something like that, sounds like fun.
3:52 am
FMitch

It has just been bastardised over the last 20/ years.

3:54 am

hi Sandy
3:54 am
sprite

those horses can wait. We are more important. We don't play in pantomime.
3:54 am
Haz1558

It is fun, sprite, they take nursery rhymes/fairy stories and add songs, comedy routines etc, make women dress as men, men dress as women and two people to become horses or cows.
3:54 am
Haz1558

You know you're washed up as a star when all you get is the back end of a pantomime cow
3:54 am
sprite

oh I am pretty certain I could be a cow.
3:55 am
sprite

lol especially the back end indeed
3:55 am
FMitch

you would have to choose to be the front or the back sprite :)
3:56 am
sprite

I think the back end. Would bring out my best endowed feature ;)
3:56 am
FMitch

LOL
3:56 am
sprite

and Torah could be my front. If she doesn't behave, I am in the perfect position to correct her. And take sweet revenge over Liz's blog.

ata: there are about 20 fish, all traumatized by the heron, but as long as they're not all girls, the pond should re-generate. My husband is a new man!

I have never seen anybody as miserable as my husband was this past week.
4:11 am

I've left the bronze heron on the pond for now, hoping to protect the remaining fish
4:11 am

I think he has used up his sympathy quotient!!!!
4:12 am

better make sure he knows you are more important th4 any fish.
4:12 am

and suggestions?
4:13 am

take a bath in the pool?

4:14 am

pond, that was the word. Not pool. Sorry.
4:14 am

that would surely keep the heron (and everybody else) away! eeeew
4:15 am
rubyfoo

no pool, here, again, me in a bathing suit? eeeeew!
4:16 am
rubyfoo

I think the cloudiness of the water protects the fish and I think they eat the alga
4:16 am
lynxxx

If you can get duckweed to grow (ie the fish don't eat it all) it will keep the sunshine from the algae
4:17 am
rubyfoo

we had duckweed and husband removed it!
4:17 am
rubyfoo

he grows waterlilies and pond irises plus reeds
4:17 am

finally. Thanks for the ag6, lyn
4:17 am

oh no! it is the BEST food for the fish
4:18 am

the reeds have tiny cattails! for a while, loosestrife (escaped from the garden) was grwing in the pond, but disappeared (also from the garden)
4:18 am
lynxxx

I buy it for my fish but they eat it all in 24 hours
4:18 am

tell him it is to fish like spinach is to Popeye. They will beat that heron once they can eat duckweed again.

can you imagine saddling your children with those names? yago!!!!
5:50 am
NonoNanette

hi Ruby
5:50 am
NonoNanette

yago is indeed a strange name, what is its origin
5:50 am
rubyfoo

I guess I just like old-fashioned, simple names
5:51 am
lynxxx

I quite like He6 and Oscar, Oscar has been quite common here for quite a few years. Not sure about Yago, wonder where that is from?
5:51 am
rubyfoo

I can only think of Iago in Othello and that is awful! And they are such anglo-saxon parents
5:52 am
rubyfoo

that's funny about oscar. from Oscar the Grouch? I thought it was only from my mother's generation or from the Cichlid
5:52 am
rubyfoo

a lot of Cubans in Miami name their sons He6
5:52 am
Atalante

Jago is the Cornish version of James, I know that
5:52 am

He6 goes back to Greek mythology so I guess that qualifies as old fashioned
5:53 am
NonoNanette

thanks Ata was wondering what it might come from
5:53 am

thank you ata, that makes sense since the man is English (Cornish?)
5:53 am

Jago sounds a LOT better than Yago
5:54 am

6:07 am
Trifioso

the big joke with my grandfather on that side is that his father wanted to name him William, and his mother insisted on Edward (she NEVER lost an argument, that one!). For his ENTIRE life, my grandfather was called "ed" by his mother, and "bill" by his dad.
6:07 am
rubyfoo

but everybody wd pronounce it differently.....
6:07 am
rubyfoo

that is too funny, trif

I've got the picture and love it!
6:10 am

honestly, my grandfather was a wonderful man, with an amazing sense of humor. I think that helped him survive Puritan Edna
6:10 am
rubyfoo

he had an uncle Reed, a great-grandfather Reed and then, of course, the John Reed clubs when he was at university!
6:10 am

I mean....Edna! Do you need more information than that?

6:14 am

I actually found the sweetest letter I have ever seen in an old trunk after my grammy died - "bill's" dad wrote her a letter when she and my grandfather got engaged, and it was LOVELY. It starts "well, it seems I am about to get a daughter, and I have always wanted one....." I have it framed on my wall.

when my son was here, cleaning out my studio, he went through all the drawers where I keep old correspondence (MOST of which I threw away when I re-married) and he said "How many boyfriends did you actually have, Mom?"

sure, Hurshy. I feel guilty about upsetting my family all the time, but at the end of the day they're choosing to upset themselves. So, unreasonably guilty...sure
10:26 am

very strange!

I only feel guilty if I make my dogs feel bad, otherwise never

we have been camping on a penisula on a lake in Maine - have to boat or walk in a mile all gear. We get most of it in by boat and then we play in the water all week. Very relaxing. No services - so kids dont have TV, computer, cell phones. We have a crank up radio to check the weather.

i went on a tour of a historic house with my mom and dad, husband and sister, and the volunteer guide, well, he left much to be desired. i wasn't sure if my parents had really been interested in the first place, so i made a comment when we left about his being not so great, i don't know, by way of apology or just acknowledging that i knew he wasn't great or whatever. and then people stuck up for him and ever since i feel really bad about it, and i don't know why! he didn't know i said anything at all!

Hey, Mom. I'm headed to NE and Canada for my vacation next month.
10:28 am
helensgirlkid

Envy you Mom - we used to do two one-week backpacking trips every year - when the kids were little (we started when they were 5 and 2) we'd hike in for two days and the kids and I would perch in a good place to keep them busy and my husband would go off for two days on a more challenging hike - then back out in two days, back to town, replenish the packs, and off for another trip! Wonderful!
10:29 am

You are permitted to your opinion, Hursh. You had higher expectations. I am similar.

Put it out of your head, hurshy. If you'd told him off in terms of him being a numbskull and humiliated him, then you might have cause to feel guilty. You expressed an opinion in a discreet way.

It is funny being friends with my French neighbors; it is much more formal than with English-speakers, probably because I'm not from here. My neighbor across the road has lived here for more than 30 years and is still not accepted as a local

That's what I mean, Ciocia, people probably think that their life is normal, but it's interesting to others. I can't imagine having my garden eaten by deer but it seems to happen to people here.
10:42 am
Riverdance

that would be fun
10:42 am
Riverdance

oh, they dont eat my garden just my hostas - lol
10:43 am

oh Haz, we have to maintain high fences here or the deer would get in and clean us out!
10:43 am
rururocks

deer are rodents with hooves
10:43 am
Haz1558

That's what I mean. The closest we come to having deer around here is when they bring Santa's reindeer across at Christmas.
10:44 am

and you should see the moose - huge
10:45 am
Riverdance

we can tell when they come through with the indents across the lawn

On the other hand, any Americans/Canadians I know can't get over us having lots of old buildings or castles and us being so blase about it.

Mom, my traveling companion wants to see moose - any special places to go?
10:46 am
Haz1558

Kind of reproduction ones?
10:48 am
Riverdance

Pittsburg NH - on the Canadian border - drive on Rte 3 at dusk - you will see dozens. If you are driving through northern Maine at dusk you may see some as well. Look for mud slicks on the side of the road - that is a good indication of where they will be.
10:49 am

Hi Boo
11:16 am
Atalante

fine! it was all very straightforward. 25 minutes in there. and I didn't have to go all the way intp the MRI tube, so it wasn't claustrophobic or anything
11:16 am
flosey

hi Boo
11:16 am
Riverdance

oh good - any results yet?
11:17 am
Mom

that is the worse part I think, going in the tube
11:17 am
Atalante

results tomorrow, but interestingly the dr notes (that I sneaked a look at) said ACL not medial ligament. INteresting ...
11:17 am
Riverdance

it is freaky in there with all the clanging and noise
11:18 am

we overshot spring and went straight to the tropics - it is mid 80s today I am melting :)
11:21 am
Atalante

yes, scrabs ... I wasn't very amused to see that!! But it can't be really torn, if there is a problem there, because I can walk (just) without the brace
11:21 am

Ata, sounds like the appointment wasn't too traumatic. i hope the results are good.

Sure you can walk with a torn ACL. The ACL limits anterior motion of tibia (lower leg) so you can walk but if you stopped and pivoted--unstable knee joint.
11:23 am
Vicuna

Yes, the Vicuna family slathered up this morning before school for the first time for the season. (Probably should have started about a week ago, though.)

11:25 am
Atalante

oh well, we'll see tomorrow! I do have to say that the ACL area does feel very very tight. I'm hoping I just bruised it or something
11:25 am
Atalante

and the medial definitely went to some extent, I saw my knee hyperextend inwards quite dramatically. But I know that heals relatively quickly adn easily
11:26 am
FMitch

there are times when ignorance is bliss.
11:26 am

Sorry to be pessimistic, just being realistic.
11:27 am

lol Scrabs and how is life with you today?
11:27 am

hello. so, sounds like there will be progress ata
11:28 am

Typically ACL tear is assoc with severe pain, "pop", and swollen joint (hemarthrosis).
11:28 am

Hello, dcseain.
11:28 am

I slept poorly last night, perhaps 4 hrs, and have avoided the crankies so far.

hi, vicuna, scrabbs, FM, ata, boo, et al
11:28 am

drat. well there was a biiig pop. it was very swollen, and there's still quite serious bruising from knee down to ankle. but not much pain
11:29 am

oh dear that is not a lot of sleep at all. I got woken up by a car alarm going off this morning and had been hopingfor a sleep in.
11:29 am

Hey dc, good to see you again.
11:29 am
Atalante

poor scrabs and FM :(
11:30 am

Initial treatment is no different--rest joint, relieve swelling, and if not improving in 2 wks get MRI
11:30 am
Atalante

and I got up at 5am to watch the finale of LOst *facepalm*
11:30 am

Poor Scrabbler. I get cranky even with plenty of sleep! =)

I have never watched Lost and will rent the DVDs to see with a friend that also missed the Lost cult.
11:32 am
FMitch

I watched a couple of them when the series first started but have to admit - it just didn't catch me or I didn't catch it ... either way .....
11:32 am
Atalante

I loved Lost. But I did prefer watching the series on DVD afterwards, so I could just sit and immerse myself in a whole series at a time
11:32 am
dcseain

same here, FM
11:33 am
FMitch

phew thans dc, was worried that I was going to be the only one in the world that didn't get it.
11:33 am

So maybe I won't get into it anyway.
11:33 am
dcseain

no, you're not the only, but we seem to be a minority
11:33 am

Never tried. I don't have time for much TV, preferring to waste my time in other ways. =D

it's rare for a bird to be on the balcony. usually they sit in the tree, just beyond the balcony
11:35 am

it's worth trying, scrabs. you'll either love it or think what the heck was the world interested in!
11:36 am

11:55 am
Sally-catlover

Our land is very wild and undulating, so it's not a straightforward job, but it's lovely to be out and absolutely wonderful that T is able to do so much more now than last year :-)
11:56 am

11:59 am
Sally-catlover

Glad you enjoyed the website FM. We just adore our garden here. Every spot is a joy to be in, by the stream or by the pond or anywhere else. Sigh.

12:16 pm
FMitch

So are you geting clothes packed yet ruby?
12:16 pm
hurshy

here's my version of california girls:
well East Coast cats are hip
I really dig that fur they wear
and the Southern cats with the way they meow
they knock me out when i'm down there
the Midwest farmers' barn cats really
make you feel alright
and the Northern cats with the way they purr
they keep their mamas warm at night
i wish they all could be my cute kitten caaaats..."
12:17 pm
rubyfoo

and we still have a small 20-30 breeding population, hoping that they aren't all girls!
12:17 pm
Sally-catlover

Oh hi ruby, was revisiting the Siamese Cat song. It is so brilliant, especially if you know Siamese :-)

12:31 pm
Sally-catlover

ruby, you need to learn to open a new tab, or new window. You can always copy and paste the link into that tab or window, then it's easy to get back into babble.
12:31 pm
Riverdance

she is quite the character
12:31 pm

12:35 pm

Hi to all. Just coming to the grid for today. The washing is being done, the drying is drying, tomato plants are waiting to be planted, and the piano tuner is pounding on the piano. All's well with the world.
12:52 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

hiya stidgmere -- are you one of the famous stid clan?
12:52 pm

How lovely stidmee.
12:53 pm

Hio BD sitdmere is the mama of the clan.
12:54 pm

12:55 pm

stidmama is si stdmeres daughter.
12:55 pm

stidmere is the mama of the mama
12:56 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

okay, i checked yer profile. a beaver holding a shrimp on a skewer, hmmm lol
12:57 pm
stidgmere

Yes, I am Stidmama's mama.
12:57 pm
stidgmere

Well, I didn't see the skewer. We were in Quebec and it seemed appropriate for a logo.
12:58 pm
FMitch

hello stidmere, good to see you.
12:58 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

and in the other hand he's got a huntin' knife. that beaver is prepared for anything LOL
12:58 pm
Atalante

and what relation are you to Scrabbler?
12:59 pm
stidgmere

Well it is good to see fmitch. I am not the uberBabbler that my daughter is but we want our offspring to be sufficient. I am no relation to Scrabbler. She is related on the son-in-law's side of the family. Do you have a pencil to scratch out all of the lines and such?
1:00 pm
stidgmere

I've figured out through geneaology that we are all cousins if we go back a few centuries. So, I am very polite to rude drivers. I consider them awkward cousins.
1:00 pm
Atalante

you're a relation in law :)
1:01 pm
FMitch

lol stidmere
1:01 pm

Yes, I think that is right Atalante. How are you?

Hi peri. Oh, it is time for a coffee break I think.
1:03 pm

Have to go, only popped in to say Hi to you stidmere. To all alll other see you on the morrow.
1:03 pm

I have one purpled tile but that is the n 0/0. Do you think it is grayed?
1:03 pm

Thank you fmitch.
1:03 pm

well, mine look kinda blue but i consider the filled ones to be gray cuz i'm weird
1:04 pm
Atalante

I did, peri. MRI completed. Results tomorrow :)
1:04 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

okay, i just grayed out the C and spoiled my pattern 8-(
1:04 pm

ok, Ata. did you have to get there yourself.
1:05 pm

I am lagging behind as usual. But the scenery is lovely.

nap time for me, see y'alls later POINK
1:06 pm
Atalante

yes, peri! it was a bit of an effort ...
1:06 pm
periwinkle

I am sure it was, be sure to give dh a hit on the head for me!!
1:07 pm
Atalante

willingly :P
1:07 pm
periwinkle

could he not rearrange his schedule?
1:08 pm
Atalante

nope
1:08 pm
periwinkle

did he even try tho? sorry had to ask
1:08 pm
Atalante

nope!!
1:08 pm
Scrabbler

He just exudes compassion, doesn't he?
1:08 pm
periwinkle

give him another hit on the head then!!!
1:08 pm
Atalante

oh utterly!
1:09 pm
periwinkle

hi there Scrabs
1:09 pm
Atalante

I had to get a bus into Canterbury, then a bus up to the other hospital, then walk 15 mins to the hospital with the MRI. then reverse!
1:09 pm
Scrabbler

In between patients again. 2:00 pm patient is not here yet.
1:09 pm
periwinkle

that is an awful lot of effort Ata
1:09 pm

poor Ata
1:10 pm
kje

how late can they show and you still see them, scrab?
1:11 pm
Scrabbler

You are an independent, tough chick, Ata!
1:11 pm
periwinkle

Ata, just think you are getting lots of exercise
1:11 pm
periwinkle

she has to be Scrabs with the spouse she has
1:11 pm
Scrabbler

We give them 15 minutes, for well visits, no limit if sick, as we cannot not see a sick child even if parent is irresponsible.
1:13 pm
Scrabbler

I had a no-show this morning, for pre-op clearance. Mother called 30 min ago to say she forgot and surgery is Wednesday and kid must be seen...so I added kid on at 3.
1:14 pm
Scrabbler

It is sad to see widespread, abundant parental irresponsibility on a daily basis.
1:14 pm
kje

yep, harder with kids... if an adult fails to show, they pay the penlty (ie - maybe their surgery will be delayed) but with a kid, or an adult dependent on a lousy parent or child... you give them the benefit
1:15 pm
Scrabbler

We must take care of the kids, even if parent deserves a swift kick...oops, not sounding too caring there, am I?
1:16 pm
kje

well, it gets hard if a parent decides they can flaunt the rules and know you are forced to do what is best for the kid despite their lunacy
1:17 pm
periwinkle

1:17 pm

Yep, ongoing challenge. Dr Scrabbler's Orphanage would be overfull if funding were available.

we have a holiday today for the Queen's birthday. Only it is not her birthday so it is just a good day for a parade
2:42 pm
stidmama

IT WAS WONDERFUL!!! (only three days) and exhausting, and a lot of work, but actually not bad. I love it. I really feel good when I have spent time in the classroom; I really feel nervous when I am with the suits who are faculty at our college (although I am not sure any of them actually own suits...)
2:42 pm
stidmama

oh! happy queen's un-birthday to you! LOL
2:43 pm
Bugsaw

relax. The suits can see how comfortable you are with the kids
2:43 pm
Kazzer99

thats interesting bug cos in the UK only the civil service gets a day off for the queens birthday
2:43 pm
Bugsaw

You must be kidding Kazz!
2:43 pm
Kazzer99

and thats next week after the bank holiday
2:44 pm
stidmama

thing is, when I have a child in front of me who needs help, I am pretty good at figuring things out. But when I have to talk about hypothetical children in the aggregate it doesn't mean much too me. I am a very concrete thinker, and resent too much high-brow theory nonsense.
2:44 pm
Bugsaw

We call this the bank holiday then. No more long weekends until our independence day on July 1
2:45 pm
Kazzer99

nope we get 8 bank holidays with 1 days for queenies birthday, 1/2 day for Maunday Thursday and another day at christmas
2:45 pm
Bugsaw

I used to worry about that too stid. I don't interview well but I can do the job so I stopped worrying and did as well as I possibly could on the practicums. It works
2:45 pm
stidmama

sorry about the typos, I have been writing a report all day, need to start on an assignment for tomorrow next...
2:45 pm
stidmama

thanks Bugs, I think that is what I needed to hear today!
2:46 pm
Bugsaw

We don't get anything for Maundy Thursday but government workers and schools get 4 days at Easter. Everyone else just gets Good Friday off.
2:47 pm
stidmama

you get religious holidays off? *mind boggles*
2:47 pm
Bugsaw

Take heart stid. You are a gift to the schools and they (even the suits) will see it
2:47 pm
Bugsaw

We do get Boxing Day off tho Kazz
2:47 pm
stidmama

U.S. only religious holy day off is X-mas and that's more because it's a traditional secular day.
2:47 pm
Bugsaw

You don't get Easter stid?
2:47 pm
stidmama

oh, the phone. brb

"If voting made any difference they wouldn't let us do it."

"I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it."

4:55 pm
crosshair

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

so..how u liking our first taste of summer..on the may 2-4 weekend no less....i cannot believe how gorgeous it is
4:55 pm

I had a white 2-piece suit 50 years ago, but it was a heavy material and not transparent. Snazzy at the time.
5:42 pm
Nancy Boy

I thought, well, you know, I tan, so they'd look good next to my skin. And they did, until I got wet..

5:50 pm
Uneaixoise

5:50 pm
jillibus

great idea, red -- send it to sprite!
5:50 pm
Nancy Boy

at least it was on a beach. plenty of topless women and guys in speedos, my cute little bum wasn't the centre of attention for too long ;)
5:51 pm
redturtlehead

I think it would be really fun to see everyones wedding photos. My Parents did the Justice of the Peace thing, and have no pictures.
5:51 pm
jillibus

where was this beach, NB *reminds self to avoid it*
5:52 pm
Nancy Boy

LOL Jill! Before moving to London, I used to live in Brighton, so my friends and I spent a lot of our summers on the beach there...unless I was packed off to Korea!
5:52 pm
Uneaixoise

jilli, it also sounds like the Riviera!
5:52 pm
jillibus

They go topless on Brighton beach? My, how times have changed.
5:53 pm
jillibus

We lived 10 miles from Brighton in 1939-40.
5:53 pm
Nancy Boy

oh yes, you get some brave souls! Ugh, 8 Mile is on TV. Doesn't that have Eminem in it? Gross.
5:54 pm

5:55 pm

well, i saw it a LONG time ago but remember being surprised that it was good
5:55 pm

Eminem = unnecessary obscenities (to me)
5:56 pm
Uneaixoise

and the actress who played his mother was very good in it . . .
5:56 pm
Nancy Boy

I don't mind the swearing...the homophobia is an issue. Like I say, the song "Criminal"...it's foul
5:56 pm
Uneaixoise

wow, just looked it up -- that was Kim Basinger!
5:57 pm
Uneaixoise

i can certainly understand, NB -- didn't watch it 'cause I was a fan of his music . . .
5:58 pm
Nancy Boy

guess not. If I saw him I'd say...silly white boy ;) play him at his own game.
5:58 pm
jillibus

I don't really know much about Eminem -- just that a little girl about 10 came into the library to get his lyrics off the internet, left her treasure with us at the desk while she got some money -- it contained words like motherf***er. Charming.
5:58 pm
Uneaixoise

knew very little about him at the time -- that was back in '02

6:14 pm
Uneaixoise

6:14 pm
Nancy Boy

I wouldn't mind the music if the lyrics weren't so anti-gay - not my kind of thing, but you know, I could listen to it. But...*sigh*
6:15 pm

I thought 'Stan' was an especially well-written song....
6:15 pm
rururocks

Its ok minksi, I almost forgive you for being a Celtics fan...
7:55 pm
JBV

more or less the same, thanks for asking, red - his biggest complaint right now is hip and back pain - undergoing some tests to see if it's more than just sciatica..... other than that we just carry on with his chronic issues - we've adapted
7:55 pm
redturtlehead

JBV that sounds fairly settled, hope if it is siatica, it stops flaring.
7:56 pm

they have got to take JJ reddick out of this game. the man hails from Duke and I still say he has no game.

oh the celtics will win, but the point is that this time, they are actually playing a decent game. And since I live in Orlando...I' m a fan.
8:12 pm

well, lurking is okay, but you need to pop in occassionally to at least say hi!
8:13 pm

I will, LBD!

I know, red, but i want them to take tonight's so they get a decent rest. Doesn't seem like it will be easy, lol

8:17 pm
redturtlehead

oh nef.
8:18 pm
Nef

I appreciate all of the support from everyone. One thing about having hubby ill is that I haven't had time to think about my work: We've had our hours and salary cut in half due to economic reasons (non-profits don't function well without and cash)
8:19 pm

UGH, Nef. You are getting it on all sides.
8:20 pm

8:31 pm
Nef

jmc, what did you do in 1976? They won't let you OUT of the USA or Canada won't let you IN?
8:32 pm
jmcnrick

Canada stops me and it all started in 1976 when I went to visit my sister after my bil left her on her second son's first birthday--with the kids
8:33 pm
jmcnrick

that is B-I-L
8:33 pm

and why do they stop you?
8:33 pm

what an effing jerk
8:34 pm

different reason every time but I have traveled over . . . . 6 times and 6 times I have been stopped.
8:34 pm

carting body parts across the border probably wasn't a good idea.

what really took the cake was him finally "agreeing" that she could see the kids and him spending the time trying to convince me my sister was a bad mother
8:35 pm

you shoulda just dropped him in the river and made it look like an accident. ;-0
8:35 pm

turns out after all was said and done and he got custody of one of the kids, he abused him

8:38 pm

Sometimes you have to believe that there IS a *special* place in Hell for people like that
8:38 pm
jmcnrick

alas he is not -- but Canada gets to keep him because the US wont let people practice clinical psychology with only a masters and he could never get a doctorate
8:38 pm

Nef, Well, they actually have a position open now that is clinic hours, some sort of head of some type of Quality...

8:39 pm

very true, rob
8:40 pm

hmmm does it look bad for nurses to switch to often in a short period of time? I have no idea
8:40 pm

Good idea, red
8:40 pm
redturtlehead

no one cares JMC. as long as you have the credentials.
8:41 pm

here,good nurses are so scarce,we do not care how many other places they have worked!!
8:41 pm

okay then!
8:41 pm

also locally you get known, so everyone knows a bad apple...I went into orientation today and everyone I met of the 4 of us in the ED knew a variety of people I know, so we just sort of keep work pretty clean.

8:42 pm

jmc, the thing with nurses is that we are sometimes a dollar a dozen to hospitals and sometimes pure gold. We need to find our place to shine and feel good. Someplaces can really be awful for certain types of nurses and others fit right in
8:42 pm
jmcnrick

well it clearly it is different for different professions so I was just being an inquiring mind

9:40 pm
CadFan

Preschool did it for my son... he had to be in with the Babies until he was trained... only took him 2 days once he figured that out.
9:40 pm
TeaNCrackers

I really didn't come here to bug you!
9:40 pm
Scrabbler

So, underwear go on when he wakes up, bring him to potty every 60-90 minutes, give him permission to ask for diaper for pooping. Clean up messes calmly--show no emotion. This is HIS responsibility.
9:41 pm
TeaNCrackers

will try that, I'm at my wits end
9:41 pm
Minski

Does anyone have the 1st SE7 and the last SE5 please.
9:41 pm
TeaNCrackers

he is going to start kindy in the fall - he ahs to figure this out
9:42 pm
rururocks

starts out like a constant killer and past tense of eat se7
9:42 pm
TeaNCrackers

thank you, scrab
9:43 pm
Minski

Thanks ruru.
9:43 pm
Scrabbler

Just tell him that you know he will solve the problem. It is HIS problem--he must decide to be independent + responsible for pee/poop in potty. No more diapers except at night and if he needs to poop and refuses to use potty.
9:43 pm
Scrabbler

TY, Ru
9:43 pm

Does anyone have the SE5/18 please/

Thanks. got them.
9:45 pm
TeaNCrackers

we will give that a try, our pedi told us to not worry about, just send him to school in pull ups and the other kids will make fun of him and he'll figure it out.
9:45 pm
Scrabbler

Hi Nerky!
9:45 pm
nrkii

hi scrabs!
9:45 pm
Scrabbler

Peer pressure helps, but diapers make it easy for him to not solve the problem.
9:46 pm
rururocks

how old is he tea?
9:46 pm
TeaNCrackers

almost 5, ruru
9:46 pm
TeaNCrackers

he is definitely my challenge!
9:47 pm
rururocks

wow..it is time for him to figure it out..
9:47 pm
Scrabbler

If kids are not trained by age 30 mo = toilet training resistance = control-issue with parent(s).
9:47 pm
TeaNCrackers

he definitely wants to be in control of everything!
9:47 pm
rururocks

(nods head)
9:47 pm
Minski

I used to set the loudest timer in the house for 45 minutes after she went. Then I would make her go again. If she refused I would set it for 5 minutes and try again and keep trying until she peed then set it for 45 again.
9:48 pm
Minski

We had frequent wars, but eventually it worked.
9:48 pm
Scrabbler

..and ambivalence about becoming a "big" kid with greater responsibilities...psychobabble, sorry, but a reasonable theory
9:48 pm
Shirlockc

to8? clued earlier as extension of to6 but not getting it ...
9:48 pm
rururocks

I think I potty trained pretty quickly as a kid
9:48 pm
nrkii

shirlock, that was my mistake
9:49 pm
Scrabbler

To 8 = Babbler To*gone + qu5
9:49 pm
TeaNCrackers

it is hard to be consistent with babysitting another kid, hubby is not on board/doesn't want to work at it, Tea is still in school, so lots of trips back and forth. I think we will hunker down when she is out of school and stay home until it gets handled.
9:49 pm
Scrabbler

I do not recall being toilet-trained at all.
9:49 pm
rururocks

hmm you both need to be on it.
9:49 pm
TeaNCrackers

my mom said that both my sister and I were trained at 18 months! Amazing!

9:51 pm

thanks, that was one of my missing 7
9:51 pm
Scrabbler

Just tell him: underwear goes on when you wake up; when alarm goes off (every 60 min)--> potty. If you need to poop you may ask for a diaper or use the toilet. If you make a mess you can clean yourself up---have clean undies + shorts/pants easily in access.
9:52 pm

I said same thing in chat long earlier today, Nerky.
9:55 pm
TeaNCrackers

thanks, scrab - that helps
9:56 pm
Scrabbler

Really, TNC, NOW is easier than later. Get it done so that you can enjoy the summer.
9:56 pm
nrkii

it's both a full sentence (Oh, Gotcha.) and a noun (Yeah, that's a gotcha.)
9:57 pm

oooh, maybe i should watch it, it's probably just coming on in this time zone
9:58 pm

are all the spinoffs ending too?
9:58 pm
TeaNCrackers

we have so much planned for the next couple of weeks. then daddy is going out of town two days before school is out and will be gone for three weeks. I was thinking that that would be the ideal time, we can stay home, be non social and I am the only one working on it.
9:58 pm
Minveryork

ts6:t + so 5/10 word harpjane. Don't have the other.
9:59 pm
nrkii

other is the same, just change last vowel
9:59 pm
Scrabbler

TNC--underwear--he MUST experience the inconvenience. Have a supply of clean undies + shorts/pants. Make him change himself--not you. When you clean him up he is allowed to be dependent, like a baby. Make him assume independence + responsibility.
9:59 pm
harpjane

thanks minver\
9:59 pm
TeaNCrackers

I am so overwhelmed with this right now and feel like I have failed somehow.
9:59 pm
Pinikula

I think once he experiences a day or two...it'll be all downhill from there!
10:00 pm
Pinikula

rest assured, you haven't failed!
10:00 pm
Scrabbler

And, TNC, be very matter-of-fact about it--show no disappointment. When he has success, say, "See, I knew you could solve this problem."
10:02 pm
TeaNCrackers

thanks, pini, I am just so disheartened right now
10:03 pm
Scrabbler

So get it solved now, do not let it be prolonged over the summer.
10:03 pm
Scrabbler

Laundry + carpet cleaning is way cheaper than continuing to use diapers.
10:04 pm
TeaNCrackers

alrighty then, tomorrow - unders!
10:05 pm
Scrabbler

Yes, he must experience the discomfort! Have piles of undies + shorts readily available. If he makes a mess tell him to go change and then you will do ______. Use the phrase "If ____, then ____."
10:06 pm
TeaNCrackers

we have unders, pants, the works. we can do this
10:08 pm
Scrabbler

He will do this with your teaching + leadership. Keep me posted!
10:08 pm
