Good morning, FM.
3:20 am
Atalante

toooooo many k's!
3:20 am
FMitch

Greetings Haz!
3:20 am
Haz1558

I can't say my heart rejoiced when I saw them.
3:21 am
Haz1558

Good morning, Ata!
3:21 am

I have finally vanquished them.
3:21 am
gremlinn

too much IOIOIOIOIO

3:21 am
Sally-catlover

Hi everyone on this lovely sunny morning. Hmm, haven't started the Ks yet.
3:22 am
Haz1558

Hello, gremlinn. It would be even worse if it were eieieo and then we'd all be singing Old McDonald.
3:22 am
FMitch

lol gremlinn and Hi Ata!!!! and Sally!
3:22 am
Atalante

FM! Haz in training! La Glitteratenilla in training!
3:23 am
Haz1558

And Mr Haz is training as well!
3:23 am
Atalante

oh! Mr Haz too!
3:23 am
Haz1558

Thankfully he doesn't ride a bike and shout at me through a megaphone, that would be off-putting in the extreme.
3:23 am
FMitch

Oh great, well done to MrH too. Trust he won't be wearing a pink bra though?
3:24 am
Haz1558

No, and nor will I! He's not necessarily doing the walk itself, but is helping me out when he can with company.
3:24 am
Atalante

and one of those weird coincidences - mum have to have a mammogram the other day after finding a lump and most likely will need a mastectomy
3:24 am
Haz1558

Oh, Ata!
3:24 am
FMitch

Oh no Ata!!
3:25 am
FMitch

so sorry to hear that hun.
3:25 am
Sally-catlover

Oh I'm so sorry Ata!
3:25 am
Atalante

it's strangely ok as she's always had problems with getting benign lumps and I think she's rather glad in a strange way to be able to have the op and stop all that
3:26 am
Haz1558

Even so, it's not something you really want to go through.
3:26 am
Atalante

nooooooooo
3:27 am
Atalante

the funny thing she'll probably end up in hospital at the same time sister is having her op, and hopefullyy the same hospital
3:27 am
Haz1558

I hope, hope, hope that all turns out okay.
3:28 am
Haz1558

If that does happen, Ata, they might as well just make a room for you and Hobbit.
3:28 am
Atalante

if not at the same hospital then at hospitals 10 miles apart which still isn't too bad
3:29 am
Sally-catlover

I'm sure the sight of Hobbit would cure anyone!
3:29 am
FMitch

will make visiting easier *wry smile*
3:29 am
herinfernallady

hello
3:29 am
FMitch

Hows the leg coming along by the way Ata?
3:30 am
Atalante

apart from the poor man who was quietly sunbathing yesterday on the beach that hobbit ran up to and sat on, while soaking wet
3:30 am
Haz1558

Hello, herin.
3:30 am
FMitch

Evening herin.

LOL Ata!
3:30 am
Haz1558

She could probably tell that he was burning and that cold needed to be applied. Hobbit is smart.
3:30 am
Atalante

getting there slowly ;)
3:30 am
Sally-catlover

splutter, ata. I hope you didn't laugh openly :-)
3:31 am
herinfernallady

Awww Ata. Too cute. Sorry about your Mum she will spring back. Best thing I heard about reconstruction from my cousin was she got new boobs and a flatter butt and belly
3:31 am
Atalante

not *quite*
3:31 am
rubyfoo

good morning everybody
3:31 am
Haz1558

Good morning, ruby.
3:31 am
Atalante

I apologised profusely then walked off very quickly giggling madly
3:31 am
FMitch

Morning ruby.
3:31 am
Sally-catlover

Hi ruby.
3:32 am
FMitch

Hobbit was just being her friendly self (wet and all)!
3:32 am
herinfernallady

How could you be mad at a cute dog. I would be like orff get off me. now were is your ball
3:32 am
Haz1558

Exactly, she was just being a cold compress.
3:33 am
Atalante

she was! I just don't think he was a doggy person ... *giggles again at the recollection*
3:33 am
Sally-catlover

How was she to know the man was sunbathing? She probably thought he needed help and was showing him to you.
3:33 am
herinfernallady

Bad Hobbit Bad Hobbit (Good Girl go sit on the man that doesn't like dogs)
3:33 am
FMitch

would quite happily hug a wet dog right now as the thermometer is rising.
3:33 am
Sally-catlover

If he was a nice man you could have said "fetch"!
3:34 am
rubyfoo

ata: I'm sorry to hear about your mom, but as an almost-s0-year survivor of the same thing, I wish her very well and give her some of my hope and optimism!
3:34 am
rubyfoo

that was 20*
3:34 am
Atalante

and the other funny thing is that she's obviously got into her head that if I sit down while out on a walk it means I'm Injured, cos I sat down and couldn't move when I hurt my knee. So I sat down on the beach yesterdya thinking I'd read for a bit and let Hobbit snuffle about. Oh no. She sat bolt upright on my outstretched thighs and glared at anyone or any dog that came close
3:35 am
herinfernallady

Awwwww bless her Ata
3:35 am
rubyfoo

I don't think Hobbit is part chow!
3:35 am
Sally-catlover

Oh, sweet!
3:36 am
Sally-catlover

Good job she isn't a Great Dane doing that, though, or you'd be back in hospital with crushed thighs.
3:36 am
FMitch

LOL Sally
3:36 am
Atalante

bad enough with her! she's very very solid
3:37 am
FMitch

Hobbit is solid but still quite petite.
3:37 am
rubyfoo

how much does she weigh?
3:37 am
Atalante

yes, but she's distinctly heavier than she looks! about 18kg
3:37 am
rubyfoo

but so**ing wet, probably weighs more
3:37 am
herinfernallady

O Hi Ruby
3:38 am
Haz1558

This question always interests me. Americans always seem to know and quote the weight of their dogs - I don't think Brits know.
3:38 am
herinfernallady

My cats weigh 5 -6 kilos respectively
3:38 am
lynxxx

Hi All
3:38 am
Haz1558

Good evening, lynxxx.
3:38 am
rubyfoo

here, every time you go to the vet, the virst thing he does is weigh the dog! maybe because of the meds?
3:39 am
Atalante

are you saying i'm secretly american?
3:39 am
rubyfoo

hello lynxxxx
3:39 am
herinfernallady

Hi Lynxx on this bleak winters day
3:39 am
FMitch

Ha! spotted the god of love without prompting - that must be a first!
3:39 am
Sally-catlover

I haven't a clue how much mine weigh. Not a lot would be the technical answer.
3:39 am
FMitch

Evening lynxxx.
3:39 am
lynxxx

Here you weigh a pet as soon as you enter the vets office - so than can work out any medication I guess
3:39 am
herinfernallady

Mine get weighed once a year so I can worm them properly for the year
3:39 am
Haz1558

No, Ata, although you may have been influenced by summers spent over there. It's just something I've noticed (the weight quoting thing)
3:39 am
rubyfoo

I had a cat once who weighed a stone+a kilo
3:39 am
Sally-catlover

Yes, with certain meds they go on the weight and we have weighed them in the past for that.
3:40 am
herinfernallady

Ruby same as mine
3:40 am
Sally-catlover

A stone plus a kilo? That's a nice mix of metric and imperial measurements ruby!
3:41 am
rubyfoo

and she used to sleep on my chest and purr and knead
3:41 am
herinfernallady

awwww
3:41 am
rubyfoo

Clarissa Reed Fitzrour Kelley
3:43 am
herinfernallady

3:43 am

you're kidding, herin!
3:44 am
Sally-catlover

104 to find here :-(
3:44 am
herinfernallady

I used Morewords after 6 of them my brain stopped working
3:44 am
Haz1558

Have we noticed that jillibus'and flosey's bridge partner is here? Mr Sharif?
3:45 am
Sally-catlover

Oh, no I hadn'. ty
3:45 am
Atalante

and so is a real life dragon
3:45 am
Haz1558

He's strangely unacceptable to enable.
3:46 am
Sally-catlover

yes, just realised :-)
3:49 am
rubyfoo

perhaps enable doesn't play bridge
3:49 am
Atalante

as is the dragon, sadly
3:50 am
rubyfoo

named for a scientiest maybe? well soon have an ata dragonfly!
3:50 am
Haz1558

Most provoking!
3:50 am
Atalante

named for where it lives :)
3:50 am
rubyfoo

ahah
3:51 am
FMitch

... and done, silly re words were my final hurdle.
3:51 am
Haz1558

Well done, FM!
3:51 am
herinfernallady

woot
3:51 am
lynxxx

Clever FM!
3:52 am
FMitch

Thank you, thank you :)
3:52 am
Sally-catlover

Yay for FM!
3:52 am
Atalante

woohooooo FM!
3:52 am
rubyfoo

yay for FM
3:53 am
FMitch

and the ar6/30 led me a merry dance until I looked at gremlinns list.
3:53 am
rubyfoo

aras
3:53 am
rubyfoo

whoops, sorry
3:53 am
Sally-catlover

Just found the lovely fi 7/60 by trying a word I didn't think it would take :-)
3:54 am
Sally-catlover

think that has double R, ruby
3:54 am
herinfernallady

back soon
3:54 am
rubyfoo

I was thinking of the constellation....
3:55 am
FMitch

Todays grid has some lovely babblets in it and the rest the monkeys took care of.
3:55 am
rubyfoo

monkeys are desperate
3:55 am
Sally-catlover

Think I have all the As. Need a particular clue?
3:55 am
FMitch

*passes some bananas over to ruby for the monkeys*
3:55 am
Atalante

I don't like monkeys. I have tapirs instead
3:56 am
Atalante

I think they still like bananas thouhg
3:56 am
FMitch

How can they type for you Ata, given the lenght of their claws?
3:56 am
rubyfoo

I once did a drawing of a tapir
3:56 am
rubyfoo

bananas with ants on top
3:56 am
FMitch

oops sorry thinking of wrong animal there.
3:57 am
Atalante

with their prehensile noses
3:57 am
FMitch

LOL
3:57 am
rubyfoo

great image!
3:57 am
Atalante

we have tapirs locally
3:57 am
Atalante

or should I say typirs?
3:58 am
FMitch

all that gunk over the keyboard must make a mess.
3:58 am
rubyfoo

my husband is walking around the garden with his rifle! I had better be nice.....
3:58 am
FMitch

Is he heron hunting?
3:58 am
Atalante

monkeys are messier
3:59 am
rubyfoo

yes, he's obsessed!
3:59 am
Sally-catlover

A farmer friend of mine shot a fox on his land once, only to find he had also shot one of his hens. Tell husband not to aim at the fish!
4:00 am
Atalante

at least it keeps him out of your hair for a whiel
4:00 am
FMitch

Can't blame him after the loss of so many fish.
4:02 am
Atalante

can just imagine the headlines "local heron population in mysterious crash"
4:03 am
Haz1558

The headline in the Ballymoney Times a few weeks ago was 'Pigeon Poisoned'. It was a slow news week.
4:03 am
Atalante

wonder if heron tastes good
4:03 am
Atalante

oh dear LMAO
4:04 am
Atalante

aha! I have the great cook herself here ....
4:04 am
Atalante

Haz, what should I make with some pheasant eggs?
4:04 am
FMitch

heron stuffed with koi - could be a good recepie.
4:05 am
FMitch

Scotch eggs
4:05 am
Haz1558

I have no idea about pheasant eggs. What sort of size are they?
4:05 am
Atalante

about 2/3 chicken size
4:05 am
Atalante

they had some down at the farm shop and I simply had to get some, now of course I have no clue what to do wit hthem
4:06 am
FMitch

dainty egg and soldiers?
4:06 am
Haz1558

Egg mayonnaise?
4:06 am
FMitch

or use them in a salad nicoise
4:06 am
sandr

last time i had them i poached 1 and fried 1 just to see whjat they are like
4:06 am
sandr

morning all
4:06 am
Sally-catlover

Put them in a salad, Ata
4:06 am

Good morning sandr.
4:07 am

4:07 am
Haz1558

Good morning, sandr.
4:07 am
FMitch

good and nice to see you again!
4:07 am
Haz1558

Google says that their yolk tastes richer than a chicken egg.
4:07 am
sandr

hiya haz
4:07 am
Atalante

and what were they like???
4:08 am
FMitch

ooh that would make a good mayo then, turn it into aioli by adding loads of garlic.
4:08 am
sandr

yeh its a much stronger taste but worth it you get your moneys worth id recommend them to anyone but its big breakfast,i think they might go well in a cake to!!!
4:09 am
Haz1558

How many did you get, Ata?
4:09 am
Atalante

6
4:09 am
FMitch

scrabmled eggs and pancetta for a Sunday treat?
4:09 am
sandr

1 poached 1 fried 2 for a cake and 2 for mayo problem solved
4:10 am
Haz1558

Oh well, you're not going to have too much difficulty finding something.
4:10 am
Sally-catlover

Scrambled eggs and smoked salmon?
4:10 am
Atalante

oooo smoked salmon!
4:10 am
FMitch

Babblers just love thier food don't they?
4:10 am
Sally-catlover

Or I love scrambled eggs with mushrooms cooked in a little butter and stirred in.
4:11 am
Sally-catlover

Don't you realise that this is displacement therapy? Play Babble instead of eating.
4:11 am
Atalante

this is always the best place to ask food questions!
4:12 am
sandr

i put harrisa in mine i got it from tunisia
4:12 am
FMitch

Nah, babble and eating at the same time is the best :)
4:12 am
Atalante

I think I should get some free. Whichever flock of pheasants they came from, Hobbit is bound to have spent at least a few hours chasing them - like Mr Haz shouting encouragement at Haz. Training them
4:14 am
sandr

right guys im going to get my head shaved then round leeds tonight so speak again sometime bye!!
4:14 am
Atalante

apparently the collective noun for a flushed group of pheasants is a bouquet
4:14 am
Haz1558

I draw the line at the loud-hailer, though.
4:14 am
FMitch

a boquet of pheasants - well you live and learn.
4:14 am
Haz1558

Bye sandr (hoping that it's the r who's getting the head shaved)
4:15 am
sandr

of course haz
4:15 am
FMitch

Bye sandr
4:15 am
Haz1558

Excellent! Nice to see you again.
4:15 am
sandr

bbbbyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeee *poof*
4:15 am
Atalante

and of course all babblers should know the term for a group of pheasants while on the ground ...
4:15 am
Haz1558

Is Dead Meat.
4:15 am
rubyfoo

are pheasant eggs bigger than hen's eggs? ex-city girl here....
4:16 am
Atalante

loool
4:16 am
lynxxx

lol
4:16 am
FMitch

a flush?
4:16 am
rubyfoo

np pheasants here
4:16 am
Atalante

it's a babblet! ni4 :)
4:16 am
rubyfoo

no*
4:16 am
Atalante

no, ruby, a bit smaller
4:16 am
rubyfoo

colored?
4:16 am
Haz1558

I've got one of those Shott's Miscellany books, they're great for odd facts.
4:17 am
Atalante

rather beigey-khaki coloured
4:17 am
rubyfoo

I love quail eggs especially raw in sushi
4:17 am
FMitch

and we just thought you were really clever Haz.
4:17 am
Atalante

there is a pic on my FB, ruby
4:18 am
rubyfoo

all the facts at haz' fingertips!!
4:18 am
Atalante

anyway, it's nye or nide
4:18 am
Haz1558

A nye of pheasants?
4:18 am
FMitch

You are giving your secrets away!
4:18 am
Haz1558

It's a nye according to Shott's.
4:18 am
Haz1558

Between Shott's and Google I can fool people into thinking I know stuff.
4:19 am
Atalante

it's nide according to dictionary.com
4:19 am
Atalante

so I'm assuming both are accaptable
4:19 am
Atalante

and now you'll know next time it's in Babble
4:19 am
Haz1558

I'd assume so.
4:19 am
Haz1558

ruby, if more than one heron turned up it would be a sege.
4:19 am
FMitch

of course we will remember that for next time :)
4:20 am
Haz1558

And I love an exaltation of larks.
4:20 am
Atalante

oh yes, me too
4:20 am
rubyfoo

I think it's the same one; I think they are solitary most of the time and he's unlikely to tell his mates about the great resto!
4:20 am
Atalante

and a murder of crows
4:20 am
FMitch

I think that one is so approriate Haz.
4:20 am
Haz1558

Ptarmigan. Any takers?
4:20 am
rubyfoo

that's my favorite!
4:21 am
rubyfoo

a party?
4:21 am
lynxxx

a new type of cheese?
4:21 am
Haz1558

A covey.
4:21 am
Atalante

a ptarmy?
4:21 am
Sally-catlover

I like a murmuration of starlings!
4:22 am
Haz1558

Yes, and a pontification of priests.
4:22 am
Atalante

and a clowder of cats
4:22 am
Sally-catlover

That sounds too much like soup, Ata.
4:22 am

Good morning spritey sprite - welcome to the ks :)

Hi sprite. You'll be delighted to see there are 16 K words.

I have 2 minutes for sprite's decision!!! :(

oh dear, Ks! And a vote! *Kicks mind in gear*

Are we allowed to lobby? Or offer bribes?

I do like the tower of babblers... calls babylon to mind without saying it out loud.

Is that how you describe your husband, ruby?

somebody tell me Sprite's decision later, pls, the man with the rifle wants his apero!

But Babylon and the Tower of Babel were different.

Haz, you are so right. I need that coffee. I meant the tower of babel, of course. *Drags mind from the gutter*

Haz1558

Bye ruby. Slip a sedative into the drink, that'll calm him down.
4:32 am

and we can throw in pond-boy. Oh, good, sprite, I hope you like it! *poof*
4:33 am
sprite

FM, that is heaven :)
4:33 am
Haz1558

A tower of babblers is good - it speaks of strength, cooperation and building on each other's knowledge.
4:33 am
Sally-catlover

FM is cheating, for sure.
4:34 am
sprite

I also like the harmony, but always harmony might get boring, and not a chance of that happening in babble anyway. So how about throwing in the occasional dissonant to make it spicier and call it a symphony?
4:34 am
Haz1558

But harmony doesn't consist of the same note - it's tones of notes that work together.
4:34 am
sprite

that is so beautifully put, Haz. My final vote is for Tower of Babblers.
4:35 am
Haz1558

I'm visualising a singing tower. Anybody remember the Singing Ringing tree from Tales of Europe?
4:35 am
KatieMcG

morning everyone
4:35 am
FMitch

I would go for a symphony rather than a tower as that intimates that someone is at the top.
4:36 am
Haz1558

Good morning, Katie.
4:36 am
sprite

morning Katie. Did you have a good birthday?
4:36 am
FMitch

I do Haz!

Morning Katie.
4:36 am
Atalante

but symphonies always have conductors
4:36 am
Haz1558

That programme scared me and fascinated me all at the same time.
4:36 am
Sally-catlover

You can have a norman tower, that doesn't have a point at the top
4:36 am
sprite

true, FM, we should visualise a flowing tower, always moving and bringing eachother to the top.
4:36 am
FMitch

well that is Dr_Gs role then Ata
4:36 am
KatieMcG

a lovely day thanks sprite :-)
4:36 am
sprite

Ata, could that be DrG?
4:37 am
lynxxx

hi Katie
4:37 am
sprite

wonderful, Katie!
4:37 am
Atalante

well then DrG can be at the top of the tower!
4:37 am
sprite

he should be the foundation, I think
4:37 am
Haz1558

Maybe it'll be a one-storey tower with a very wide base.
4:38 am
FMitch

lol Haz
4:38 am
FMitch

In other words babble has just moved in4 a bungalow.
4:39 am
Haz1558

Where's lynxxx, she needs to be the final say on this. What was your thinking behind the tower? A 3000 word essay in the next ten minutes, please.
4:39 am
sprite

I think this tower could reach to the skies as long as we don't bother about who is on top at any time. Just building together, making it sturdy and steady and wonderful
4:39 am
Atalante

and toowers are good cos we can throw people we don't like off the top
4:40 am
FMitch

I want to build out lateraly
4:40 am
Haz1558

Ata! And pour boiling oil on top of their heads?
4:40 am
Sally-catlover

So we'll need a moat and a drawbridge, Ata
4:40 am
Atalante

quite probable
4:40 am
Atalante

probably!
4:41 am
Atalante

got to think of the practicalities!!
4:41 am
sprite

boiling oil, that is not babbly. Molten chocolate?
4:41 am
FMitch

chocolate covered cabana boys :)
4:41 am
sprite

(can I say I only have 2 K words so far and cannot imagine this darn K producing any more? Let alone 16?)
4:41 am
Sally-catlover

We can fill the moat with orcas
4:42 am
Atalante

and inia
4:42 am
FMitch

PB Ata!
4:42 am
Atalante

and have trained anoa pulling the drawbridge up and down
4:42 am
Atalante

not my fault. I blame FM
4:42 am
KatieMcG

but if we did molten chocolate no one would want to be in the tower we would all be attacking it
4:43 am
Sally-catlover

And nenes swimming on the water
4:43 am
FMitch

I don't think so!
4:43 am
sprite

it is lovely to have you around again, Ata! Missed you in chat.
4:43 am
Atalante

exactly, katie ;)
4:43 am
sprite

it would depend on who was chocolate coated. I love my chocolate as much as any girl, but there are people I wouldn't want to lick it from.
4:44 am

No point starting up a John Prescott fan club among babblers, I see.
4:45 am

ok, keep this on, it might cure me from chocolate cravings
4:45 am
Atalante

have I got news for you was sooooo wonderful this week
4:45 am
Haz1558

I didn't see it - wasn't he the guest host? I must watch the extended version.
4:46 am
Sally-catlover

When John Prescott's affair was made public, I remember hearing a joke which was that making love to JP would be like having a wardrobe falling on you with the key still in the lock.
4:46 am
Atalante

he was. and Ian HIslop laid into him so so SO much. it was absolutely brilliant
4:47 am
FMitch

Oh willl have to go t iPlayer for that gem.
4:47 am
sprite

lol Sally
4:47 am
Haz1558

Oh, I must see it. He was either very brave or very stupid to agree to do it.
4:47 am
lynxxx

Sally!
4:47 am
Atalante

and there was one moment where you could just see Prescott was sooo nearly going to just smack him but managed not to
4:47 am
Atalante

lmao sally
4:47 am
Atalante

it was like 30 minutes of Ian Hislop saying everything he'd ever wanted to say to Prescott but couldn't while he was in government
4:48 am
Sally-catlover

Must watch it on iPlayer.
4:48 am
FMitch

noooo really?
4:48 am
Atalante

oh yes, really worth it
4:48 am
Haz1558

Didn't he know what was in store for him? Did he not watch the programme?
4:49 am
FMitch

I am going to have to go watch that now - TTFN and I also have things to do so back later.
4:49 am
sprite

bye FM, have a lovely day!
4:49 am
Atalante

he came out of it ok. but just about ok. you could tell he was reading a lot of scripted stuff making gentle fun of himself. but Ian HIslop just laid in to him freom beginning to end
4:50 am
Haz1558

See you, FM. Apparently he twittered or tweeted that his stuff was scripted but the rest was pure ad-lib.
4:50 am
Sally-catlover

bye FM
4:50 am
lynxxx

bye FM
4:50 am
Atalante

it was very very clear his stuff was scripted!
4:50 am
KatieMcG

bye FM x
4:51 am
Atalante

I think he must have seen Lembit Opek on there a few weeks ago, and Lembit came out of the whole thing brilliantly. He was really funny and very self-deprecating
4:51 am
Haz1558

So, that's definitely one for the must watch list. I suppose it was obvious it was scripted if it made sense. His normal English is incomprehensible.
4:51 am
Atalante

and he just simply read off the cards LOL. no attempt to try and look likehe wasn't
4:52 am
Haz1558

I'm going to be good and get ready to go out shopping. Ugh and double ugh but people here insist on eating. Bye for now and I'll be back later. Toodle-oo!

Good luck with that hydra. Staying in London?
5:57 am

FireFlies! Anything I can help with before I go?
5:58 am
hydra

Not exciting when you haven't enough money for what you really want. I can't stay on at my partner's cos I've been paying £2oo a month to the storage company for the last 7 years. Do the math! Yes, staying in London. I want a place near my friends, but close enough to see Mr Grumpy at weekends. I don't drive, so it's all down to public transport.
5:58 am
Sally-catlover

Well done sprite! No thanks, will plod on - 15 to find.

Not surprised. That's damn unneighbourly!
6:22 am

And then one of the guests answered the door and was a total air head. I could have slapped her.
6:23 am
hydra

What are you going to do?
6:23 am
herinfernallady

I think they turned it down. It is fairly crapy when you live in a brick house and can hear them
6:24 am
herinfernallady

There is a stretch of cars down the road. I am liking your middle of no where idea at the moment
6:25 am
hydra

I have had that problem almost everywhere I've lived. except here at my partner's, which is detached. But two doors away there are teenage kids who are always having loud parties so you can't leave the windows open at night. I am a quietness freak. My sister lives surrounded by mountains - then the RAF ruin the silence with low-flying exercises!
6:25 am
herinfernallady

the Raf are noisy
6:26 am

I have put in an offer for a ground floor flat. But if I can hear too much noise from upstairs, I shall do it up and re-sell it!

Nancy Boy

just read back a little...I always invite my downstairs neighbours to any parties we have here. Otherwise they complain like crazy...they are allergic to noise, apparently.
6:37 am
herinfernallady

Nancy hun. See the thing is politeness. You tell them instead of being rude and then having an idiot guest to answer the door. I just have a head ache that is the thing
6:38 am
Nancy Boy

sometimes these things get out of hand, though, I guess. how old are your neighbours?
6:39 am
herinfernallady

Over 50
6:39 am
herinfernallady

That is the funny thing. this woman that answered the door was at least over 40
6:40 am
Nancy Boy

haha! good for them. I hope I'm still partying when I'm 50.
6:41 am
herinfernallady

IT is a rare occurrence. There is the whole street with cars. I couldn't care less but right now headache from hell
6:42 am
herinfernallady

I think I am just annoyed with the lack of ding dong we are having a party

8 am games every Saturday

Yup, serious NB - it was great!
7:03 am
Nancy Boy

I wish my old school had cancelled football (soccer) games when it rained. Messy!
7:03 am
NonoNanette

thats a big league, how many teams?
7:04 am
Nancy Boy

well then I'm in awe of you JFB - longest I've gone on without sleeping is a 50-hour bash...I looked like a zombie at the end of that, though
7:05 am
Riverdance

there are 5 teams in our division - furthest is an hour away - luckily today it was the next town over so not a big deal driving out there
7:05 am
JFB

Oh at my advanced age I had to sleep - then party on!!
7:06 am
Nancy Boy

that would have been the wise choice, but if I'd slept I might have missed something - something I was not prepared to do! ;)
7:06 am
Riverdance

I keep getting red boxes today - must be the electrical storms in the area messing up the internet
7:06 am
JFB

Us OAPs have to risk it!
7:07 am
NonoNanette

glad it wasnt any further I would have been miffed to drive that far and have the game cancelled
7:07 am
Riverdance

one Dad was mad - yelled at the other coach - I couldnt believe it - bad example for the kids
7:07 am
Nancy Boy

lol! we should all try and do what Kate Moss does - stay awake partying for however many hours you are old! 20 for me next birthday...easy ;)
7:07 am

C u all later
7:08 am
NonoNanette

It is usually the parents that set the bad examples like that. It's unfortunate. Then the rest of the parents have to do some damage control with their won kids
7:09 am
NonoNanette

bye JFB
7:09 am
Riverdance

very true
7:10 am
NonoNanette

Used to be quite involved with the local Little League and Babe Ruth Leagues and have seen some pretty messy situations over the years
7:12 am
Riverdance

my kids have always been active in the local recreational league - baseball, softball, soccer, basketball - it all about having fun. Some parents take it so seriously. My kids play school sports too - that is a different situation altogether.
7:13 am
NonoNanette

yes it is. school sports coaches can be real jerks at times. My son is an umpire for high school baseball and he tells me sore horific stories about coaches
7:15 am
NonoNanette

he ejected one coach from a game, which means they must sit out the next game as well. The infraction was so bad the school imposed further sanctions on him
7:16 am
kje

LOL- can't believe enable took that pi5
7:16 am
Riverdance

yikes - this past indoor soccer season - an opposing coach got thrown out - at first he wouldnt leave so the ref had to threaten ejecting the team - coach finally left
7:16 am
kje

must have been written in the 50s
7:17 am
Riverdance

I am finding this to be a tough puzzle
7:17 am
NonoNanette

it is a very challenging grid
7:17 am
kje

I am only 68 in, so OK so far... I'm sure there is a wall waiting for me however
7:18 am
NonoNanette

i got to around 100 and then it really slowed down
7:18 am
Riverdance

I only have 52 so far - do we know if there is a list today - I dont want to look yet
7:18 am
kje

ok... thanks for telling me where the wall lies - LOL
7:18 am
NonoNanette

there is one in gremlinn's profile
7:19 am
Riverdance

just like yesterday - that god for gremlinn
7:19 am
NonoNanette

yes gremlinn always seems to have a list posted if Lickety isn't there
7:20 am
kje

i do hate k words though... 16? really? hmmmm
7:20 am
NonoNanette

yes 16 and most of them rather strange
7:21 am
Riverdance

oh great - monkeys best start warming up
7:22 am

7:30 am

yep - nono is correct... there is the wall about 100 in....
7:31 am

7:57 am
dan2bit

my company only gives 2 weeks "new parent leave" but I tacked on a bunch of accumulated vacation. mrs2bit had to use all her vacation and then go on "short term disability" and then (if she wants to) unpaid leave
7:57 am
hurshy

don't have it - but thanks for the clue that there are ko5/18s and one's a plural! got two words there.

yes, but you canadians probably have a spirit of law-abiding. if the gov't made it mandatory here, they companies would do it but find a way to lay the women off completely through some loophole...

8:32 am

scrabbler, he is working in all mediums at the moment, as he is in an accelerated program and they cover all sorts of stuff. we are thinking that question over a lot. He knows he wants art in his life, but we don't know if what form
8:32 am
Trifioso

and please, with the greatest respect and love -- he is primo in the chog....
8:34 am
Scrabbler

Oops, sorry, I didn't even realize I did that. My friend's daughter majored in art at Carnegie-Mellon Univ. The challenge is earning an income as an artist.
8:35 am
Trifioso

I absolutely agree! he has NO desire to be the enfant terrible of the Soho art scene, or something like that. Will it be design? architecture? graphics? landscape architecture? illustration? education? there are so many ways to work in art....
8:36 am
Trifioso

I feel another challenge is to get him to look at a variety of colleges, with more offerings than just a strict art curriculum...
8:36 am
Scrabbler

Yes, that visual-spatial gift can be used in so many areas.
8:36 am
Scrabbler

Does he want to stay in Boston? New England?
8:37 am
Trifioso

I know he would do better at a small college v. a large university, but which one? a straight art school, or a college?
8:37 am
Scrabbler

he's lucky to have a mom who thinks about college as a step towards the rest of life, rather than an end in itself...
8:40 am
Riverdance

tuition is about 27,000
8:42 am
Trifioso

perhaps they are disguised, scrabbler? ha ha ha
8:42 am
Scrabbler

With skyrocketing tuitions in private schools it is tough to choose a major one in interested in, e.g. history, vs a major that will help one get an intact career. Education vs vocation.
8:43 am
Marc Freeman

Good morning, can we go over the 7's again, I have the fi7, there is one pi7 and a ti7 which am I missing, please?
8:43 am
hurshy

it doesn't help when the student has undiagnosed generalized anxiety disorder being hidden and repressed vigorously.
8:43 am
Trifioso

I agree scrabbler. Everyone keeps telling us to "pick the college you want, and the money will follow" which is the same thing I have heard about careers, but to be honest, you can't prove it by me
8:44 am
Scrabbler

A chair was overturned, a plant stand and potted plant were knocked over, the watering jug was knocked over, my newly planted hostas next to the deck were stomped on. I guess that a posse of big grey squirrels can do that.
8:44 am
Riverdance

I know - we have one year of high school left - I'm scared. My daughter is interested in the Arts as well but leaning towards photography/photo journalism.

Hi Marc, and MNH I never greeted you

Hi Scrabbs - I have been sort of lurking - should actually be doing chores
8:46 am
hurshy

that was me. but my mom just felt education was worthwhile for its own sake and didn't offer any guidance beyond that. so, my life is basically being wasted.
8:46 am
Trifioso

I should post a photo of Primo's latest art assignment -- it made me roll, it's so funny! They had to do a book cover, and he did a comic book front for a character he invented called "commander commando" ---it's pretty damn hilarious

Education is not the key, happiness is the key. If you are happy and find bliss in what you are spending your time doing then all else doesn't matter.
8:47 am

I tried that too, dan! :)
8:47 am
hurshy

actually i can't, trif, not for another 3-5 years. my husband is currently doing his PhD. when he's done and gets a real job, then maybe i can make a change.
8:48 am

So Hurshy, you need to create the life you want and discover happiness. It will take baby steps.
8:48 am
Trifioso

small changes can be accomplished now, hurshy -- the tiniest step in the direction of your souls' bliss will bring instant relief
8:49 am

hurshy, where are your passions, what brings you bliss?
8:49 am

uh, look guys, i've tried, really. i'm just stuck for now. better to just accept it.
8:49 am
hurshy

i haven't got passions.
8:50 am

Are you seeing a therapist to discuss your life?
8:50 am
hurshy

no. i did that for three years and got the anxiety sorted but it didn't help with the rest.
8:50 am
Trifioso

that is one frustration I have with that whole "do what you love and the money will follow" == have yet to find a way to get paid to babble!
8:50 am
Scrabbler

Lack of passion suggests to me that you have dysthymia +/or depression.
8:50 am
Marc Freeman

No interest, some things that just come easy for you? Go out and get a book written by two friends of mine called the Passion Test, Chris and Janet Atwood.
8:51 am
hurshy

yes, i have had dysthymia since at least around when i started kindergarten.

Me too, but you must challenge the negative thinking.

8:53 am
Scrabbler

Hurshy, you are only 32, you have lots to figure out still.
8:53 am

hello gramma. I think of a passion as a love you have for something - something that lights you up, makes you feel alive, something that you NEVER have to be "made" to do, but that you can't wait to do

take babble for example -- I never feel it's a drudge to start a new grid. I look forward to the new challenge each day brings, and can't wait to see who is in the chog, what the count is, etc. NOW -- if only I could get paid to do it!
8:54 am
gramma

Trif, I'm going to think about that. My passion is ???
8:56 am
Scrabbler

I agree, Trif.
8:56 am
gramma

Oh, okay. I was looking for something deeper. Silly me. Of course I have passion.
8:56 am
Trifioso

something particular to women though -- studies have shown that if a woman does have a passion -- I will use babble in this example -- and then she gets paid to do it, it becomes a huge buzzkill. Women tend to start to have anxiety about the things they once loved, because they begin to feel layers of expectation that were not there before.

they studied expert quilters, knitters, seamstresses, artists, gardeners, child care providers, etc. When the women were doing it because they loved it and were good at it, all was well. When they started to get PAID to do these things, the joy got sucked right out, as they women began to worry over how good they were doing, if it was good enough, would the "boss" be pleased, etc.

Hi Herin

I can't remember what the takeaway was....not that women should not be business owners, etc., but that societal expectations have put layers on women that make them focused outside themselves, i.e., the women stopped finding joy in what they were doing because it was no longer enough that THEY were happy with their output, but that someone else had to approve it. does that make sense?

The impetus for me to do it was listening to a lady at our AGM who told of attending for mammography 'on a whim' - no symptoms or anything. Her cancer was picked up, she was treated and was now well.

I had cleared out hte smaller guest bdrm and moved my bed into it...and now the master is in disarray...but I have been sleeping much mire soundly and restfully since I moved the bed..

1:22 pm
Soodlebum

Nef - I am so glad your hubbys back home with you,
1:22 pm

MBDR = 20D x 13 W...2nd bdrm = 9D x 13 W
1:23 pm
Soodlebum

Hey Minver. Puzzles with no lickety scare me..........
1:23 pm
Nef

that's a BIG difference! Any other differences besides size? (is direction for different sun exposure or???)
1:23 pm
PAV3

master faced east and the noise...2nd bdrm faces west and get little noise...I'm in the center of our block so to speak, so not much traffic all aorund...
1:24 pm

thanks Soodle. I'm thrilled myself!
1:24 pm
Minveryork

Soodlebum, I have a list in my profile if you need one.
1:24 pm

I have my Meyer lemon tree i nthe smaller bdrm for the window light...bright from 5'ish until later afternoon...

Thanks Min. I will see how far I get without it....
1:25 pm
PAV3

I positioned my bed in the same direction as I had it inthe master..but for some reason...noise?, I actually enjoy my sleep moreso
1:27 pm
Nef

unless you use room darkening curtains, I think it's harder to sleep in an east-facing bdrm
1:27 pm
PAV3

my neighbors are also not using their spaces next to the smaller bdrm as much...one is the sountern neighbors 2nd bdrm which she uses as an office/craft room...my northern neighbor has her kitchen there, again with little usage. Condos can be as bad as apartments' thin walls so for now it seems to work for me...

Nef: Three years ago my daughter was diagnosed with MS and CIDP. At this time, after being allergic to just about all treatments she is on Rebif and steroid infusions. She is declining every day and the doctors have told us that she will eventually be paralyzed from the neck down. However, she remains very positive and believes that God has a plan for her. We are actively researching and talking to the University of Pittsburgh researchers dealing with computerized implants for mobility.

There is a new medicine made available in March called Ampyra. It has shown remarkable results helping people regain walking. If you google ampyra it will give you all the details. I hope this works for your husband. I must go now as we are having bad storms here. Good luck.

My monkeys were crazy today and ran am 4/9. They were an4/4-Babble. They ra 4/4ed and raved on how they did not want to help.Monkeys wouldn't listen to their ma5/12. I wanted to kick them in the ar 4/4. I tried to lock them up in a ro 4/5, but they would not stay in their do 6/24. Monkeys smelled the ar5/12 of fried bananas and ar 5/10 out of their seats and ran out the do 4/5 down Ma 4/5 Street to ro 4/5 around places unknown. I am so mad at them.I am locking all my do5/12 and will not let them back in4/4 my house when they come back. Wouldn't even give them a mo 6/21 of chocolate if they wanted it. I hope they get bitten by a kr 5/18. They ma 4/9 me so mad and put me in a mo 6/21 mo4/6.Thought I was do4/6ed when they left the house.I got all nervous that I would not finish because of no list and no monkeys.My stomach became tied up in a kn4/8.My monkey troubles are a mo4/5 point now because I finished anyway.It to4/8 me awhile, but I finally did finish. I was tickled pi 4/9 when I finished. However,my ra4/8 is still low.I hope this story of clues ma 5/20 sense to you. I am going to go kn 4/8 my shirt some mo4/5.

5:56 pm
stidmama

later MaMa!
5:56 pm
stidmama

I am almost to halfway... is there a list posted somewhere bichon?
5:56 pm
stidmama

hey Nef! is your DH home today?
5:57 pm
Nef

all theu usual people and on Babanon
5:57 pm
stidmama

LOL I adore penne, but admit the methods to get it into the tummy are lacking.
5:57 pm
stidmama

thanks Nef
5:57 pm
Nef

I brought him home this AM, stid! I am SO glad he's home! :-D
5:58 pm
stidmama

WOO-HOO!!!! *celebrating with choclits*
5:58 pm
stidmama

I am very happy for both of you! (((hugs)))
5:58 pm
Nef

I'm thrilled!
5:58 pm
stidmama

now then. will you have the support you need to keep him safe and you sane?
5:59 pm
Nef

you mean 4 point leather restraints? ;-)
5:59 pm
stidmama

(for you, or for him?) *wink back*
5:59 pm
Nef

none of those here; but he will be having his therapies at home for now since getting in and out of the house is not too good yet.
6:00 pm
stidmama

GOOD. at home therapy may be more useful, since the therapists may be able to suggest things to you when they see the actual situation. It was useful for my grandmother, post-stroke.
6:01 pm
Nef

the Metro Mobility doesn't help people exiting or entering their homes; just on and off the transport bus. If I'm working; he can't do it
6:01 pm
stidmama

ah, I see. That makes sense, but not so convenient for either of you.
6:02 pm
Nef

the PT and OT therapists came on Friday and saw the house and watched him enter and leave. THAT was what made them decide for at home therapy for now
6:02 pm
stidmama

Excellent. I am glad they were able to do that.
6:03 pm
stidmama

I think, if I weren't going to be a teacher, PT would be my other choice. I have so much respect for the ways PT and OT helped our elder son when he was younger.
6:03 pm
stidmama

and the ones who came to my grandmother's house were also excellent.
6:03 pm
Nef

me too! I only have a few things I had to change; and we found that if he uses the front door for exiting, we'd have to do a small amount of remodelling (which we don't have the $$ for anyway)
6:03 pm
Nancy Boy

hi, all. I'm on break...yawn!
6:04 pm
stidmama

hey Nancy Boy! how's the training going?
6:04 pm
Nef

what was the matter with your son?
6:04 pm
Nef

Hi NB!!! DH is HOME!!!! :-D
6:04 pm
stidmama

he has CP, Erb's palsy and some other brain damange. all minor, but all together needed help when younger.
6:04 pm
Nancy Boy

Ohhhhh Nef, what great news!!! I'm so happy for you :)
6:05 pm
Nef

:-D Me too. I can relax!
6:05 pm
Nancy Boy

and it's going well thank you Stid ;) well, I have my first big test coming up on Monday...20 mile run around London. Should be interesting. How are you??
6:05 pm
stidmama

technically, the Erb's thing is damage to the nerve between the neck and the shoulder, not brain damage, but the other stuff is.
6:05 pm
Nancy Boy

quite Nef...no more going back and forth all the time :) you definitely deserve a break!
6:05 pm
Nef

WOW, NB! That's ambitious
6:06 pm
stidmama

20 miles? I am exhausted just thinking about it! Do you get to stop at pubs and such for breaks? *innocent mama look*
6:06 pm
stidmama

I am feeling better and better. Actually went out with Mother and the younger stidkid to shop for clothes for his promotion ceremony later this month.
6:06 pm
Nef

It really does help when they can do early intervention on kids.
6:07 pm
stidmama

He is going to have *drumroll* patent leather CONVERSE high-tops to wear with his dress-up clothes! LOL
6:08 pm
Nancy Boy

I wish Stid ;) and you got that right Nef...not as ambitious as the marathon it's in training for, mind you :P
6:08 pm
Nef

WOW! They make those???
6:08 pm
stidmama

We got him three dress shirts, his first pair of really nice dress pants, and two pair of converse (the other are just standard black ones).
6:08 pm
Nancy Boy

oh, good that you're up and about, Stid! Don't wear yourself out though :)
6:08 pm
stidmama

they do! LOL Mother saw them on the display behind the fancy tuxedos, and she insisted he have some!
6:09 pm
stidmama

I am being VERY slow today Nancy Boy, trust me! Even was lying down for a little bit just now. The flu always takes it out of me for an extra week.
6:09 pm
stidmama

oh. and a hat. He looks REALLY good in his hat!
6:09 pm
Nef

Wow! :-D that's really interesting! My brother (56 y/o) still only wears the red converse hightops; I need to tell him about those!
6:10 pm
Nancy Boy

those standard black converse served me well during my school days, Stid. They were against school rules, but when it came to me and uniform, the school had to pick its battles ;)
6:11 pm
stidmama

:-D It is so much fun when a person has a "signature" piece or two. I think my son's are the converse and the hats. The other son loves interesting ties.
6:11 pm
Nef

why would black high tops be against a dress code? They certainly don't stand out that much
6:11 pm
stidmama

those English schools, Nef. they're pretty strict sometimes I think.
6:12 pm
stidmama

I will be student teaching next year in a public school in Tacoma that has a dress code. Should be interesting.
6:13 pm
Nancy Boy

My argument exactly, Nef! I used to always just casually rest my bag over my feet in assembly...I also got in trouble for wearing my tie round my head, but that wasn't really all the time ;)
6:13 pm
Nef

you will do great! DO YOU have to follow a dress code too?
6:13 pm
stidmama

I am hoping the teacher dress code is more flexible...
6:13 pm
stidmama

I will find out on Tuesday, Nef. Will meet with my mentor teacher.
6:14 pm
stidmama

??? tie around the head? like a headband???


(you radical, you)
6:14 pm
Nef

Wow! It seems to be happening fast, stid!
6:14 pm
Nef

I can understand the tie thing, NB
6:15 pm
stidmama

It is happening fast, Nef. When I started back to school (a year before the master's program -- I had so many undergrad classes to meet requirements), it seemed like it would be forever. Now it's only a year away.
6:15 pm
Nancy Boy

well, we had a really strict dress code, so we used to entertain ourselves by doing costume drills. There would be a 'rock' drill and everyone would put on sunglasses and put their ties on like headbands...stuff like that. We had to make our own fun in my day!
6:16 pm
stidmama

LOL Nancy Boy (in your day indeed, you young whippersnapper!)
6:16 pm
stidmama

down to 61 now...
6:16 pm
Nef

what a hoot! That had to have been --what? Last year?
6:17 pm
Nancy Boy

how scary, Stid! I'm sure you'll be a great teacher...just hope your students aren't as naughty as I sometimes was ;)
6:17 pm
stidmama

I can handle them, Nancy Boy. I am a MOTHER! *practices stern mama look on Nancy Boy*
6:17 pm
Nef

stid's got kids of her own. She at least has some idea of how the teen mind works
6:18 pm
Nancy Boy

*instantly removes tie from around head*
6:18 pm
stidmama

oh no, Nef. I don't think ANYONE has any idea of how the teen mind works... LOL
6:18 pm
stidmama

see? it worked! LOL
6:18 pm
Nef

well, Moms at least know that they work in strange ways
6:19 pm
stidmama

that's true enough. And each teen is stranger than the next.
6:19 pm
stidmama

Nancy Boy, are you still a teen?
6:19 pm
Nancy Boy

for a few more months at least, Stid ;) strange indeed!
6:20 pm
stidmama

ah, you're a young'un, all right! when I was your age... *tries to remember* that was more than 25 years ago and I was just leaving my first college because I ran out of money.
6:23 pm
Nancy Boy

well, at first I thought 20 sounded a bit daunting. but I was thinking about my nineteenth year, and it's been pretty messed up - bittersweet is the best way to describe it. maybe my twentieth year will settle it down a little!
6:23 pm
stidmama

I think it will -- do you keep a diary?
6:24 pm
stidmama

I find that, when I take time to journal regularly (maybe not daily) that it helps me gain perspective when I look back later on.
6:24 pm
Nancy Boy

and now look at you, Stid - getting ready to go back into the classroom from the other side!
6:24 pm
stidmama

I know. pretty scary, isn't it? Scarier still, how long it seemed to take me to figure out what I wanted to be when I grew up.
6:25 pm
stidmama

wow. down to 49...
6:25 pm
stidmama

left column grey...
6:26 pm
Nancy Boy

scary, but I can really imagine you as a teacher. and you've worked so hard for it, so maybe it was worth the wait to find that level of dedication :)
6:26 pm
stidmama

well, let's see if I survive student teaching. I have VERY long commutes coming in the fall -- close to two hours each way for about 11 weeks. It will be the hardest part of the year.
6:27 pm
Nancy Boy

ouch! shudder to think of how early you'll be getting up in the morning :S
6:28 pm
stidmama

yes. early starts, and lots of work during the evenings, so will have sleep dep issues I am sure. However, that is a temporary thing, and I can do anything for a couple of months.
6:28 pm
Pinikula

Graduationi is over/done with!
6:28 pm
Pinikula

(hi all)
6:29 pm
stidmama

I will just work hard this summer to make sure that the house and yard are in the best possible shape so that when I am working this autumn it won't take so much time to keep things up at home.
6:29 pm
stidmama

hoorah, pini! (you're in the grid)
6:29 pm
Pinikula

* grin *
6:29 pm
stidmama

pini -- Nef's DH is HOME!!!
6:30 pm
Pinikula

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!
6:30 pm
Nancy Boy

sure you can if you're determined, Stid ;) seems babble is full of inspirational stories recently - new jobs, people quitting smoking, Crossy doing so well with his diet...
6:30 pm
Pinikula

How're they doing?
6:30 pm
Nancy Boy

hi, Pini!
6:30 pm
Pinikula

hi NB :)
6:31 pm
stidmama

I think they're doing okay -- she was here a little while ago.
6:31 pm
Pinikula

glad to hear it, stid!
6:31 pm
stidmama

EEK. I need ELEVEN more K words??? *faint*
6:31 pm
Pinikula

It's always a good thing when the family can be together! :)
6:32 pm
Pinikula

I need 7 more, stid :)
6:32 pm
Pinikula

Didn't know there were that many words that started with K!
6:32 pm
Nancy Boy

actually, on that note, I had to do the conversion maths to figure out how well Crossy had done - turns out, really well! I was having a chuckle over it, 'cause he's lost one fifteenth of my total body weight ;)
6:32 pm
stidmama

*gasp* wow, that is great news! I am pleased he is doing so well. And YOU could stand to add a little young man! *concerned mama look*
6:33 pm
Pinikula

NB, if I lost a pound it would be the equivalent of you losing both legs!!! LOL
6:33 pm
stidmama

pini, we bought the younger stidkid some dress shirts today for his promotion ceremony later this month... The SMALLEST neck size they had was still a little large on him. *sigh* I think he needs more milkshakes.
6:34 pm
Pinikula

I'm sure he'll "grow into his own" (eventually), stid...however, I'm sure he's loving the fact he needs mo4 milkshakes!! :)
6:35 pm
Nancy Boy

it's all the recent trouble Stid, I've been burning off calories through the most vigorous, effective exercise I know - nervous jittering.
6:35 pm
Nancy Boy

LOL Pini! things aren't that dire ;)
6:36 pm
Pinikula

NB, better stop jittering or there'll be nothing left of you!!! :)
6:36 pm
stidmama

I don't think he minds the milkshakes, to be sure. I was just happy that his feet STILL haven't grown (now two years) so his new patent-leather converse don't have to be so large.
6:36 pm
stidmama

well, make sure that you are eating GOOD food, kiddo. I do worry about you, you know!
6:37 pm
Pinikula

patent-leather converse? Didn't know you could get converse in leather!! :)
6:37 pm
stidmama

yep. apparently so. Mother saw them today when we were at the store for the dress shirts and insisted he get some! LOL
6:37 pm
Pinikula

wow! will wonders never cease!
6:39 pm
stidmama

down to 38 now!
6:39 pm
Nancy Boy

s'alright Stid, I know well what my body can take. At my worst and most eating-disorderly, my BMI came out at 12 - I won't go there again!
6:39 pm
stidmama

(that's another wonder!)
6:39 pm
Pinikula

57 to go here...
6:39 pm
stidmama

I would feel overly thin at a BMI of 20...
6:39 pm
stidmama

go pini go!
6:39 pm
Marc Freeman

good evening, I need a clue for the re that is not putting something in water again?
6:39 pm
Pinikula

I'd hate to even venture finding out what my BMI is...
6:39 pm
stidmama

hey Marc
6:39 pm
Pinikula

hi marc
6:39 pm
Pinikula

6:40 pm
Marc Freeman

thanks stid I got it
6:40 pm
stidmama

good for you Marc
6:41 pm
stidmama

so, I think I will lie down again for a while. See you-all again soon I hope! ((Nancy Boy)) remember to eat good COMPLEX carbs and plenty of protein while training for the big run.
6:42 pm
Nancy Boy

well, a BMI of 20 is healthy, Stid. I should know 'cause it's what I happen to be at right now ;)
6:42 pm
Pinikula

take care, stid ;)
6:42 pm
stidmama

Pini, I will be in Portland tomorrow afternoon. want me to pick up anything at powell's?
6:42 pm
stidmama

LOL I'll see you later. *poof*
6:42 pm
Nancy Boy

thank you, Stid! Come to think of it, I should get back to work...hah. Rest well and be good ;) xx
6:42 pm
Pinikula

I'll have to pass this time, stid...but looking forward to going again sometime! :)
6:43 pm
Pinikula

A kn 4/8 word is a way to make a sweater and kn 4/8 is same word with different vowel in middle. Ko 4/8 is ko plus k plus J*** of Arc. ko4/8 is same but ends with a snake letter. Ko4/8 sounds like Christmas song;the first N*** and ko5/18 is plural.ko5/18 is ko plus water from the sky minus the last letter.ko4/8 is k plus The Peace C***.The next ko4/8 word is the same but ends with snake letter.The kr5/18 sounds like milk carrier
