Hi all. Anyone got a clue to first q5 word? Just can't find it.

2:49 am

Christine

My first q5 is absolutely, or very much so.

2:50 am

Christine

Nice to see you back on babble - I've been following your adventures - no luck on finding the right house?

2:51 am

hydra

This is a q5,20 that comes before 'absolutely' on the list. Hi christine! No luck at all. In fact, I must write up the latest adventure into the world of smelly flats!

2:52 am

hydra

Must change my icon now, and show support for jellen. Back in a mo.

2:56 am

Christine

Hydra - just jumped out at me -- to question

3:53 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

Hydra, did you find that q5,20 word?

3:54 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

stuck looking for that now, can't monkey it for trying!

4:01 am

sandyloo

you still there george?

4:02 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah

4:02 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

somewhere!

4:02 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

hello me, where am I?? ha!

4:02 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

in Ibiza, for the week, short holiday--that's where

4:02 am

sandyloo

did you get that q?

4:02 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

no, not a chance, driving me batty!

4:03 am

sandyloo

George, it is not an unusual word , think of asking a question

4:03 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

why have you found it?? oh yeah, clever clogs!

4:04 am

sandyloo

Where is Ibiza? A long way from Aus I bet

4:04 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh yeah, stupid me!! ha! ta, got it!

4:04 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

where it's always been, in Spain!

4:05 am

sandyloo

I thought so. Is the weather in Europe still hot?

4:05 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, but it's gorgeous here -- hotel pool's lovely! took a late night swim before bed last night, another when I woke up! need this, been working too much lately and running myself ragged!!

4:06 am

sandyloo

We are about to get some rain, we have only had 5 rainy days since november can you believe

4:06 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

no way, that's it?!? in all those months??

4:07 am

sandyloo

What do you do, if you don't mind me asking?

4:07 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh a few things

4:08 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

rag trade, djing, and so on

4:08 am

sandyloo

Even so, the rain we had was very heavy on those days and our paddocks are green- it is the middle of winter and we have had blue skies the whole time with crispy nites

4:08 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

some photography

4:08 am

hydra

Hi George and Sandy. No, I didn't find that q word.

4:08 am

hydra

And darn it, I thought I'd changed my icon but it hasn't worked. Oh well *sigh*

4:08 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh I got it, thanks to sandy -- it was so obvious I just about smacked myself, ha!

4:08 am

sandyloo

hi hydra, think of a question

4:09 am

hydra

OH!!!! I've just seen it to. *smacks head*

4:09 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, ha ha!!

4:09 am

sandyloo

hydra when I change icons , I have to go out of babble completely then come back in

4:09 am

hydra

I did, Sandy. I've been gone for about half an hour!

4:10 am

hydra

George, where in Ibiza are you? My friend and I want to go next month.

4:10 am

sandyloo

hmmm, can't explain it then, and I am no computer expert

4:11 am

hydra

I must have done it wrong. Everyone had flowers or candles to show sympathy for jellen.

4:11 am

sandyloo

so george, I take it you photographed all the food in your Flickr

4:11 am

sandyloo

I had a nice candle but decided to change today to our peaceful farm shot

4:12 am

hydra

Is that where you live, Sandy? It's really tranquil and beautiful.

4:12 am

sandyloo

You know, I love rain so much, I can hear it falling on the roof, it is such a gorgeous sound and has such a lovely smell

4:13 am

sandyloo

Yes hydra, that is our back paddock and our new house will overlook it , it is wonderful and very near the city can you believe

4:14 am

sandyloo

Well it is 20 mins away

4:14 am

hydra

George, are you still there? Here's a good food blog with some inspiring photography. http://www.lilyandchew.blogspot.com/

4:15 am

hydra

Are you getting a house built, Sandy? You lucky thing! I have spent 18 months trying to buy a London flat and failing miserably. All you can get for £300,000 is a mouldy basement!

We have a house just 10 mins out of the city which we are just going to put on the market. that will get us out of debt with enough to build the new one (daughter is an architect, she is designing it

4:17 am

sandyloo

Let's face it Hydra , it is all about money - I have an idea of a house and so has my husband , Mine is a palace , his is a shoebox LOL

4:17 am

hydra

My friend's parents live in Perth and she visits every year. I'd love to go. How lucky to have an architect daughter. Mine is a tarot reader!

4:18 am

sandyloo

Wow , my sister reads tarots

4:18 am

sandyloo

Not for me tho, it is too scary

4:18 am

hydra

Really? Professionally? I do candle wax readings myself. Yes, it is scary.

4:18 am

sandyloo

She is a judge

4:19 am

sandyloo

I have never heard of candle wax readings

4:20 am

hydra

I think my ideal house is halfway between the palace and the shoebox. And with a Mediterranean look. Vines and verandas.

4:20 am

sandyloo

Every time she reads for me, I am afraid she will find all my secrets LOL

4:20 am

sandyloo

That sounds lovely Hydra, that is about what I want

4:21 am

hydra

A friend's Russian mum taught me how to read candelwax when I was 11. You have a bowl of water and ask the person you're reading for to drip melted wax into the water and then I see shapes in the wax.

4:21 am

sandyloo

I always say that I am a sceptic, but hmmmm you never know....

4:21 am

4:23 am

hydra

I cured bad shoulders for two people just by streaming coloured light into them in my mind. Didn't have a clue what I was doing!

4:24 am

sandyloo

I try to keep an open mind about all these things because even tho I maintain that I am very scientifically minded, I have come across a lot that can't be explained

Ruby, herin is right in what she says, you must address that problem with the nurse, she will be there a lot

6:03 am

sandyloo

the nurse will soon be able to assess the situation

6:03 am

rubyfoo

I'm sure that all of that is true and I'm trying to help him all I can, but he wasn't nice to me before and this certainly hasn't changed that! I promised myself that I wouldn't whine on the chat! Sorry, ladies!

6:03 am

daykat

hopefully he will recover in time, if not then intervention may be needed

6:04 am

daykat

rubes, not whining, isnt that what we do for each other?

6:04 am

herinfernallady

Gillard doesn't have kids. BUT I am sick of her being attacked for that. Who is to say she can't have kids as opposed to not wanting or maybe not wanting as it isn't her path

6:04 am

sandyloo

you could insure him heavily and send him on another walk

6:04 am

rubyfoo

hahah, sandy, he is uninsured!

6:04 am

sandyloo

Having kids is not the end all be all

6:05 am

daykat

Gillard is also being attacked because she admitted she was atheist - again unfair I think

6:05 am

sandyloo

Even I cannot see any logic in attacking her childlessness, that is totallyher choice and nobody's business

6:05 am

daykat

sandy, rubes, herin , there is something you can help me with, talking about having or not having kids

6:05 am

rubyfoo

why does that become a political issue? Or the childlessness, too? I don't understand that

6:05 am

sandyloo

I can help, I have 4

6:06 am

rubyfoo

OK, shoot....

6:06 am

daykat

my daughter - 34, married 2 years, has just been told she is unlikely to have children, she's upset ++ and I'm not sure how to help her

6:07 am

herinfernallady

Day excuse me for asking is there a reason ?

6:08 am

rubyfoo

my son (46) and his wife (41) have decided not to have children, maybe it's a political statement as she's an ardent vegetarian etc. My feeling is that, although it would be nice to have grandchildren, it is more important to have a good relationship with my son and it is not, after all, my onions(as the French say).

6:08 am

daykat

severe endometriosis, she has had surgery but no help

6:08 am

rubyfoo

you can just be supportive and if she is upset, encourage her to talk about it

6:08 am

herinfernallady

Has she seen a natropath?

6:09 am

sandyloo

day, my daughter is 36, unlikely to have any and another is nearly 40 and feels her biological clock ticking (she is a career person) I am sure that I dont know really, but I do point out to them that there is a lot life has to offer in other directions and they cannot be assured that they will have a perfect child

6:09 am

rubyfoo

they have a very good life without children - he can pursue his music, she can sleep all the time (lol)

6:09 am

daykat

ruby, I feel much the same, grandkids would be nice, but there are more imortant things , like their health and happiness, and that they love each other

6:10 am

daykat

and you are so right , there is no such thing as a perfect child!

6:10 am

rubyfoo

and I am too frail to carry grandkids around, anyway

6:10 am

daykat

no natropath yet

6:10 am

sandyloo

Indeed day , and if they are desperate, there are a lot of kids who need homes in the world -would they consider adoption

6:10 am

sandyloo

Ruby, you are not that old

6:10 am

rubyfoo

my husband has 5 grandchildren and one great, and he knows none of them or has any interest, for that matter!

6:10 am

rubyfoo

just tired

6:10 am

daykat

sandy, not sure. they're certainly not wealthy

6:11 am

herinfernallady

Day honestly get her to a natropath

6:11 am

rubyfoo

he is in contact with only one o children and that is tenuous, at best!

6:11 am

daykat

ruby, dont you so often hear stories like that! Having children/grandchildren is certainly no protection against lonliness

6:11 am

daykat

herin, what could naturopath do?

6:11 am

rubyfoo

DH could be lonely in a room full of people (and in a house with me!)

6:11 am

sandyloo

A lot of kids are too idealistic these days, children are faced with huge problems in this society that we never faced (drugs, employment, expectations that are non achievable etc)

6:12 am

rubyfoo

myson lives in TX, but we are in frequent touch and he comes here when he can. I am very fortunate

6:12 am

herinfernallady

They can discuss a lot of issues.

6:12 am

daykat

sandy, true, but sometimes I wonder if every generation has said the same things

6:12 am

herinfernallady

one moment please

6:13 am

sandyloo

Happiness does not come in the form of a baby - I love my kids and they are good kids but they have a lot of health problems and that is a constant worry to me that I can do without

6:13 am

herinfernallady

Day: http://tinyurl.com/2bdksfy

6:13 am

rubyfoo

I never decided to have a child, it just happened when I was married about 6 months and only 19 when I got pregs

6:14 am

rubyfoo

I think my happiest time was in my 5-9th months of pregnancy and then for the first couple of years of son's life.

6:14 am

sandyloo

she will not see any of those issues as relevant tho , daycat, you can only be supportive and be as positive as possible

6:15 am

daykat

herin - thank you so much - I'll forward that url to daughter

6:15 am

rubyfoo

son and his (odd) wife seem to be very happy together, Each is strange in his own way and they've been together about 14 years!

6:15 am

sandyloo

LOL, I thought you were going to ask us whether you should get preggers

6:15 am

carleekat

its a bitty grid

6:15 am

rubyfoo

that's wht I thought, too, snap sandy

6:16 am

daykat

yes I think you are right sandy, any decisions must be hers and her husband, who incidentally adores her, and I'm there to give her mummyhugs

6:16 am

rubyfoo

hello carlee!

6:16 am

rubyfoo

that's what mummys are for!

6:16 am

daykat

preggers? Me??? good lord, no thank you very much

6:16 am

rubyfoo

my only regret is that I never had a daughter!

6:16 am

daykat

twice was enough

6:18 am

daykat

ha ha ruby, I thought I could have a daughter to dress up in pretty pinks, but she has always worn jeans!

6:18 am

sprite

good day all

6:18 am

carleekat

morning.... amm bleary eyed watched the owl cam most of the nite

6:18 am

rubyfoo

food question: does anybody know the beverage LABAN? Husband bought it by mistake, thinking it was milk, and I love it, but is it good for me. It is like liquid yoghurt....

6:18 am

daykat

hi carlee and sprite

6:18 am

rubyfoo

hello Sprite

6:19 am

rubyfoo

what is owl cam?

6:19 am

carleekat

yeap...know it...yummy... u find right now cus is ramadan ....today first day of fasting

6:19 am

daykat

hmmm, Ruby, Googling Laban brought up stuff about contemporary dance - nothing to do with milk!

6:19 am

rubyfoo

aaah.

6:19 am

carleekat

http://www.ustream.tv/theowlbox

6:20 am

rubyfoo

is it good for the digestion?

6:20 am

sprite

6:20 am

carleekat

yeap...it is watered down yogurt

6:20 am

rubyfoo

nurse is Moroccan, but not observant, no scarf, TG!

6:21 am

carleekat

hahaha...iftar in the grid too so funny

6:21 am

sprite

that is how to make it, with the ingredients

6:21 am

rubyfoo

it's in the stores here, sprite, I just wasn't sure if it was a good thing to drink

6:22 am

rubyfoo

years ago, I used to make my own yoghurt and then fresh cheese from it

6:22 am

sprite

that is why I found this for you. Then you know what is in it.

6:22 am

rubyfoo

ty sprite

6:22 am

sandyloo

is it like yakult

6:22 am

carleekat

i do that too ruby..make my own yogurt too

6:22 am

daykat

would be like a probiotic

6:22 am

daykat

like yakult

6:22 am

daykat

sanp sandy

6:23 am

sandyloo

daykat, I can hear the lovely rain falling on the roof

6:23 am

daykat

but eating decent yoghurt would be just as good for digestion etc, and probly nicer

6:23 am

rubyfoo

it is wonderful that you have rain, sandy

6:23 am

daykat

does your heart good, eh sandy

6:23 am

sprite

yakult is different. That has certain bacteria that help your bowels.

6:23 am

rubyfoo

I like this stuff, surprisingly

6:24 am

rubyfoo

like Activia here, I guess

6:24 am

daykat

so does good yoghurt I thought

6:24 am

sandyloo

it sure does daykat, and hi sprite, I am meaning to email you when I get a chance

6:24 am

rubyfoo

I think so, too, daykat

6:24 am

sprite

good yoghurt does most of that too, yes. Yakult contains a special kind of bacteria that is not in yoghurt.

6:24 am

sandyloo

I give the horses bran and chaff for their bowels, try him on that Ruby

6:24 am

rubyfoo

will the desert flower?

6:24 am

daykat

brb

6:25 am

rubyfoo

no no, it's for me.

6:25 am

sandyloo

Ruby, my icon is our back paddock

6:25 am

rubyfoo

I need the brana nd chaff!

6:25 am

wonderful, sandy, looking forward to your mail :) But take your time, real life comes first :)

6:27 am

sandyloo

Sprite, I'm glad you are understanding

6:27 am

sprite

always, dear sandy. *hugs*

6:27 am

rubyfoo

and it is so green! I guess because you have your own water source

6:28 am

sandyloo

no, we have no water on that paddock , just good soil and 5 heavy showers of rain

6:28 am

rubyfoo

*poof and big hugs* (it is amazing that it "greens up" so fast then; the horses must be delighted!

6:28 am

herinfernallady

Day I don't take no for an answer.

6:48 am

daykat

there was a tragic case here in Perth just recently - a woman had chosen not to follow conventional treatment and pursued naturopathy instead, her full choice, sadly she died and her sisters took the case to court - the naturopath was soundly criticised by the coroner, as being "nonmedical"

6:48 am

daykat

set the naturopathic approach back decades I reckon

6:49 am

daykat

and I beleieve they can often be very helpful, when conventional medicine cant help, or as an adjunct to conventional medicine

6:50 am

sprite

we have lots of holistic treatments here done by medical doctors.

6:50 am

herinfernallady

Day who is to say that the woman knew she was going to die and wanted to try something else. When did our right to live and how we want to live is someone elses decision.

6:50 am

daykat

agree totally herin, I was incensed by the coroners comments

6:51 am

carleekat

8:28 am

mrpresident

hi ruby

8:29 am

rubyfoo

that was a great fi clue from the chog! ty

8:29 am

bichon

hi ruby, how goes it. I'm in CA where it's so cold

8:29 am

rubyfoo

I guess husband is getting better, he has been nasty to me all day. He communicates by e-mail and phone, otherwise silent treatment

8:29 am

bichon

why ruby? has this been an ongoing thing?

8:30 am

rubyfoo

otherwise, it is beautiful here and the mayor came to see how husband is doing and to get photos of his wounds

8:30 am

Anniebrook

ruby, This should not be.

8:30 am

rubyfoo

yes, for quite a while but while he was injured, he started to be nicer. Not any more!!

8:30 am

bichon

you must really have a close knit village

8:30 am

mrpresident

that isn't nice ruby

8:31 am

mrpresident

hi bichon

8:31 am

rubyfoo

no choices for me

8:31 am

herinfernallady

O Ruby

8:31 am

bichon

Hi Mr P, glad you're feeling better

8:31 am

rubyfoo

it's a very small village and really nice. The people are wonderful!

8:31 am

mrpresident

hey infern (hugs)

8:31 am

mrpresident

feeling much better all the time bichon :)

8:32 am

bichon

Met some Aussies on the plane out to CA, they asked how I knew they were Aussies.

8:32 am

bichon

Been to NZ and knew the accent wasn't from there

8:33 am

rubyfoo

and you said......

8:33 am

herinfernallady

hugs mr p

8:33 am

bichon

Told them I've watched lots of Aussies on TV

8:33 am

bichon

They were a jolly bunch

8:34 am

mrpresident

that is cute bichon... a lot of people mistake aussies for brits

8:34 am

mrpresident

((hugs)) infern

8:34 am

bichon

No way jose

8:34 am

rubyfoo

I've only met Australians since I started playing on line (scrab and bab) but ruby loves aussies!!!!!

8:35 am

bichon

I thin the NZ accent sounds more like South African

8:35 am

herinfernallady

Bichon were they Aussie Aussie or normal?

8:35 am

rubyfoo

yes it does, bichon

8:35 am

bichon

Herin, what is that?

8:35 am

rubyfoo

hahah, Herin, how do we make that distinction?

8:36 am

bichon

I miss NZ very much. Felt very at home there an it was so far away from everything, it was peaceful

8:36 am

Anniebrook

what is normal?

8:38 am

herinfernallady

Ok by that I mean out back like talking like Steve Irwin did or closer to English

8:38 am

Anniebrook

I killed the chog,,,,sorry

8:39 am

mrpresident

I guess that is like asking about the accent

8:39 am

bichon

Certainly wasn't closer to English, but definitely not Steve Irwin, somewher in between

8:40 am

herinfernallady

Normal then.

8:40 am

mrpresident

I have been watching a show on lifestyle channel... I nearly choked on my tea!!
It is called 'Jerseylicious' and I didn't believe that the 'Fran the Nanny' persona was actually really from New Jersey

8:40 am

bichon

They dressed different, hard to describe. But loked like they were out to have a good time

8:40 am

herinfernallady

Thanks Mr PRes cant think of words

8:41 am

mrpresident

But, there they were! larger than life, with hair, nails, accent and all!

8:43 am

mrpresident

It is really very amazing how different accents are in the states

8:43 am

Dorens

mrp, i can assure you i was raised in nj (went to school in Ny and Philadelphia) still live in NJ and my hair, nails, accent are nothing like that! and i'm not the only one

8:44 am

Anniebrook

hi dorens, I am sure you are not.

8:44 am

bichon

I was raised in NYC and I'll be damned if I'm giving up my Brooklyn accent

8:44 am

Dorens

the funny thing is, i've learned to recognize the nj stereotype from watching it on tv, etc... don't see too many people like that where i live or where i grew up

8:45 am

Anniebrook

bichon, LOL, I was raised in NYC, have lived in Brookyn for many years and I still have my Noo Yawk accent

8:45 am

bichon

I see it as a badge of distinction. Others don't

8:45 am

mrpresident

hi dorens!! (hugs)

8:46 am

Anniebrook

bichon, down with the Others.

8:46 am

Mr Bob

Hello all

8:46 am

Dorens

how are you doing mrP? two days in a row is quite a change.... nice to see you back.

8:46 am

mrpresident

I think it is amazing the accents! luv it

8:46 am

Anniebrook

hi mr bob

8:46 am

Dorens

hi mr bob...... and mr P, when are you coming? still have a room or two for you here in Joisey (in the woods, actually)

8:47 am

Anniebrook

I dont know anyone who says Joisey

8:48 am

Dorens

i know, annie... so where did that come from?

8:48 am

bichon

In the Sopranos there certainly were

8:48 am

rubyfoo

about accents: I grew up with a Queens accent but at Queens College, they made me take a semester of corrective speech and now I just sound "northeast"

8:48 am

Anniebrook

Oh yes, LOL< the cast of The Sopranos

8:48 am

rubyfoo

except in Fr where I have a NY accent that I can't hear

8:49 am

bichon

Really Ruby. We had to take speech, but it wasn't corrective, it was public speaking

8:49 am

mrpresident

oh Dorens! am so looking forward to coming over! I wish I had a firm date, but can't do it until Mark's work settles down

8:49 am

Dorens

between them and the cast of "jersey shore" we're certainly looking horrible

8:49 am

bichon

I'm sure the French love to point it out to you

8:49 am

Dorens

not a problem mrP, i am almost always here

8:49 am

rubyfoo

it was a required course and they did a recording and made me go to summer school for my retracted aw and poor-quality r's

8:49 am

Dorens

was going to france in december with son and granddaughter, but he says now it looks like the fares are prohibitively expensive

8:50 am

mrpresident

:) thanks Dorens

8:50 am

rubyfoo

no, they say they like the accent! prefer it to the Brits!

8:50 am

Anniebrook

I cant believe the Jersey Shore..they should call it Bensonhurst Beat instead

8:50 am

mrpresident

wow ruby! that is incredible!

8:50 am

bichon

I'm sure of that ruby

8:50 am

Dorens

and that's why brooklyn accents are famous and queens accents aren't

8:50 am

bichon

The French and British have "history"

8:50 am

rubyfoo

unpredictable, these French, but I love them!

8:50 am

mrpresident

airlines are a rort!

8:51 am

rubyfoo

hahah dorens. On TV they just refer to both as "outer boroughs"

8:51 am

Dorens

fatter

8:51 am

herinfernallady

Hi Dorens

8:51 am

Dorens

sorry.. wasn't even a word, tho

8:51 am

rubyfoo

I think it's Edward Burns who has an accent that is dear to my childhood heart!

8:52 am

Dorens

hi herin

8:52 am

rubyfoo

maybe that's it and the fact that there aren't any Americans around here

8:52 am

rubyfoo

I will make husband a martini to see if he'll stop his silent treatment. Otherwise, he's on his own for dinner

8:52 am

Anniebrook

okay, have to start my day, anyone want a clue before I leave?

9:26 am

Judi

GASP! Mr. P! Long time no see!

9:30 am

rubyfoo

9:30 am

rubyfoo

9:48 am

Jellen

Hi, Scrabbler

9:49 am

crosshair

9:50 am

Jellen

And, one of my sisters is visiting next week...

9:50 am

Scrabbler

Hi Crossy

9:50 am

Scrabbler

One hour, one day at a time, Jane.

9:50 am

crosshair

indeed

9:51 am

crosshair

nite

9:51 am

crosshair

oops

9:51 am

Jellen

Plenty of food in the pb, crossy!

9:51 am

crosshair

see what i get fro trying to walk and speak at the same time? lol

9:52 am

crosshair

TODAY IS BACON DAY!!

9:52 am

Jellen

lol

9:52 am

crosshair

had to put it off cause bacon has gone up so much of late

9:53 am

crosshair

it went on sale and crossy bought 4 pounds...

9:53 am

crosshair

mmmm

9:54 am

crosshair

now..i have a book here on the shelf somewhere...it,s 75 recipies for bacon...

9:54 am

Scrabbler

So, will you ration it out or have a bacon festival?

9:55 am

crosshair

i have to ration it out as 4 pounds in a single day would be too much even for ole crossy

9:56 am

rubyfoo

hello jellen, I was just on the phone

9:56 am

crosshair

wonder if i dare try..the bacon weave blt....mmmm

9:56 am

rubyfoo

girlfriend commisserating for my day of "silent treatment"

9:56 am

Jellen

Hi, ruby...I've been thinking about you and your hubby...

9:57 am

rubyfoo

Burt must be feeling better, because he's totally back to his old nastiness and general ill-humor. Meantime, the nurse has to keep coming for more than 3 months!

9:57 am

Jellen

Your husband's giving you the silent treatment?

9:57 am

crosshair

poor ruby..my wife spends her days trying to get me to sshut the hell up before the cats walk out on us

9:58 am

rubyfoo

he is incredibly nasty and mean. Lucky mee! Fortunately, this place is paradise and I have my garden and dogs!

9:58 am

Jellen

Dogs are wonderful confidantes...

9:58 am

Scrabbler

That is his usual behavior, ruby?

9:59 am

rubyfoo

but, Jellen, The locals and the gendarmes have been wonderful. The may or of the village actually came here this AM, with two gendarmes, to see my husband and get his photos for the prosecutor

9:59 am

crosshair

you are a strong woman ruby..my mrs would kick my butt out the door if i got like that

9:59 am

rubyfoo

yes, scrabble, just the last 6 months or so

9:59 am

rubyfoo

he's 84, what can I do, set him on the side of the road with the trash?

10:00 am

crosshair

indeed

10:00 am

rubyfoo

I don't think I'm so strong, just pragmatic

10:00 am

crosshair

my father in law and your guy are of an age and he is the same way as well

10:01 am

crosshair

i just hope my books and babble keep me from getting the grumpies if i make it that far

10:01 am

Scrabbler

Ah, 84--perhaps depressed? Men react with anger when depressed. Will he have that assessed?

10:01 am

rubyfoo

I made this choice, after all, so can't blame anybody

10:02 am

Jellen

Is there no one who could persuade him to get some psychiatric help? When my mom had Alzheimer's, I could get her to do things my dad couldn't...

10:02 am

crosshair

mm..crossy wonders if he can gum bacon ok if he gets to his 80,s with no teeth...might pose a problem...

10:02 am

rubyfoo

the problem is that his depression is of long standing and he doesn't admit it. And he is charming to his Md, toe the ER people and to the nurse. So when I bring up the ssue, they probably see me as the shrewish wife!

10:03 am

rubyfoo

has all his teeth, lol

10:03 am

Jellen

You could puree the bacon, crossy...

10:03 am

crosshair

good then,but there are bacon smoothies,so im ok anyways;)

10:03 am

rubyfoo

he doesn't believe in psychoanalysys or in psychotropic drugs! denial denial denial

10:04 am

crosshair

crossy loves drugs..thats me,an arm out and a leg up...lol

10:04 am

rubyfoo

funny, you don't look shrewish! hahah

10:04 am

rubyfoo

I have to keep my sense of humor and the babble chog is very helpful!

10:04 am

Jellen

Such a difficult situation, ruby...

10:04 am

crosshair

crossy puts on his fools hat for ruby;))

10:05 am

Scrabbler

Ruby, ignore HIM when he is rude. Walk away. You deserve better.

10:05 am

rubyfoo

jellen, you are my heroine for handling the most difficult situation! I am coasting along here in paradise and even if he is miserable, I'm still OK!

10:06 am

rubyfoo

I've been walking away for the past few months, since he has become more phsycially aggressive. He doesn't quite hurt me, but is coming close. If he even hits me, then I'll call the police, but for the moment, I don't think he'd dare.

10:06 am

rubyfoo

ever*

10:07 am

rubyfoo

love crossy fool's hat!

10:07 am

rubyfoo

and thank God for friends and family, even if everybody is far from here.

crosshair

When last comes to last,
I have little power:
I am merely an urn.
I hold the bone-sap of myself,
and watch the marrow burn.

When last comes to last
I have little strength:
I am only a tool.
I work its work; and in it hands
I am the fool.

When last comes to last,
I have little life.
I am simply a deed:
an action done while courage holds:
a seed.

why python?

I have applied for 30 jobs and dropped off another 28 resumes and still no job

Oh Python! How disappointing!

10:44 am

thats suck pythonx

during my last hiatus,i,put out 66 resumes in the first week9thank god for open office and printers!!)

10:44 am

car.eeyore

(hug)

10:44 am

stidmama

*poof*

10:44 am

crosshair

if you do not have it yet,download the freeware program called "open office"

10:45 am

pythonx

what does it do?

10:45 am

crosshair

it is so easy to use..unlike bill gates office product

10:45 am

crosshair

it is a full office priogram

10:46 am

pythonx

most of the jobs I have applied for only let you send by email or fax, so I don't have to print those

10:46 am

pythonx

i already have ms office

10:46 am

car.eeyore

Python...what field are you looking in?

10:46 am

crosshair

you will see whe n you load it,it is very handy and microsoft office can read it no problem,so you will have no problem sending resumes via the net

10:47 am

pythonx

i'm looking for clerical work, i have 9 yrs experience, plus just finished a course for medical office assistan

10:47 am

crosshair

crossy just does not care for ms office

10:47 am

car.eeyore

Python...just a thought...I do medical transcription from home. It may be something you can do to tie you over.

10:47 am

pythonx

doesn't help that my city has the highest unemployment rate in the country

10:48 am

crosshair

paython,here all the big factory jobs are gone and we now fight the university students for jobs..many of us hold down 2 or 3 "Mcjobs" to pay the bills

10:49 am

pythonx

car, i have thought about that.. but not sure how to get into it

10:49 am

pythonx

do you have to purchase software or equipment to do it, Car?

10:50 am

crosshair

the days of the 25 dollar an hour jobs are long gone..heck they are even laing off in medical,so what they do is hang around and try and fill in when those who still have jobs take their vacation

10:51 am

pythonx

i've never made 25$, i'd be happy with much less

10:51 am

car.eeyore

The industry and equipment has changed a lot since I started. All you need now is a foot pedal with a USB hookup and headphones. The company you work for generally provides the software you need. There are several companies online, just google medical transcription at home.

10:51 am

crosshair

the hospital came in 400,000 over budget,so 5 nurses had to go and now they are just floaters

10:52 am

today, i am quite tempted to put the following note on the kitchenette microwave:

dear fish-eaters: please enjoy your nasty-smelling fish at home and do not heat it in the office microwave. it stinks, and i now want to vomit. sincerely, me.

11:55 am

jmcnrick

harsh evan

11:56 am

EvaNadine

seriously, though, dont people know that its an unwritten rule that you dont heat fish in a communal microwave?

11:56 am

EvaNadine

now i feel all icky and its putting off my lunch.
which is fish-free.

11:56 am

jmcnrick

i didn't know that but I don't eat fish for lunch

11:56 am

it probably did not cross their mind Eva

11:57 am

how about a note that says: Please do not reheat fish in the microwave as it leaves odors behind

11:57 am

periwinkle

I had a neighbor when I lived in an apt. she cooked fish every fri. she lived across the hall from me and all night my apt smelled from fish. I understand how you feel

11:57 am

11:58 am

EvaNadine

peri -- we had similar neighbors. thankfully, they moved out before we felt the need to mention it to them...

11:58 am

i do enjoy fish,but it is probably not a good idea to reheat the kippers from your breakfast at work

11:58 am

jmcnrick

lol probably not crossy

11:58 am

in every office i have worked in, there has always just been an understanding that you dont heat certain foods with pungent odors. those are better saved for home.

KatieMcG

3:13 pm

car.eeyore

Say yes...let him sit there.

3:13 pm

zoozzoom

3:14 pm

redturtlehead

I gave up and sent him a mail that was not the nicest but said I do not want to pursue a relationship with you.

3:14 pm

KatieMcG

Oh I've just read that on facebook - seriously it's time to be brutally truthful as the kinder approach does not seem to be working

3:14 pm

car.eeyore

Please note...I am not normally a harsh person, but in light of the date and the continued messaging....

3:14 pm

redturtlehead

It is Sooo painful.

3:14 pm

Nancy Boy

oh, I think I missed this - why was the date so disastrous?

3:14 pm

car.eeyore

I am sorry Red. No fun at all.

3:14 pm

zoozzoom

some people never seem to get the hint.

3:14 pm

Kazzer99

i dont know about the date but if he was a jerk then you should see him

3:15 pm

Kazzer99

oops not see him - sorry

3:15 pm

redturtlehead

Well, he got very touchy feely kissy at the end, and Actually I found it all a bit much for me, plus the calling me daily, emailing....

3:15 pm

KatieMcG

I once emailed someone to say I didn't feel the "connection", it was that or FO so I went the connection route

3:15 pm

redturtlehead

Kazzer, that is too funny!

3:15 pm

zoozzoom

lol

3:15 pm

redturtlehead

Katie! I should have used the Connection!

3:16 pm

redturtlehead

I had to email his sister too ( my friend) to apologize for dumping her brother, never had so much trouble after one date before....

3:16 pm

Kazzer99

he doesnt babble does he?

3:16 pm

car.eeyore

Yeah, Red, that is just too much for the beginning of a potential relationship!

3:16 pm

redturtlehead

I thank you all for listening!!!!!

3:16 pm

HarryHood

it's not me!!! I swear!

3:16 pm

zoozzoom

3:18 pm

HarryHood

3:19 pm

3:19 pm

zoozzoom

Bye Kazzer

3:19 pm

Nancy Boy

3:19 pm

HarryHood

first night I thought it flew out the window...then he's flying around again the next night, shut him in the bathroom, and put him in a box the next morning, to take him to the lab

3:20 pm

HarryHood

the bats and the cats! oh rats!

3:21 pm

KatieMcG

I love the way she writes. I read her other 2 books in June.

3:28 pm

Soodlebum

How long will you be gone for, Nance?

3:29 pm

ChampFit

You gotta do it Cheeky!

3:29 pm

cheekycharlie

lol

3:29 pm

cheekycharlie

how much is it to join...in pounds sterling...anyone please?

3:30 pm

Nancy Boy

Oh, only 10 days - depending on how the family reacts to my sudden return from the dead, that'll be either not long enough or ten days too many ;)

3:30 pm

redturtlehead

hey scrabbs, and Hi Cheeky! you will love going Pro. THe Pound is pretty strong to the dollar right now.

3:30 pm

Soodlebum

I don't think it would br much more than a tenner, Charlie. Money very well spent!

3:31 pm

Jellen

Back again...had company...

3:31 pm

Nancy Boy

ooh, I can't remember how much it was in sterling, now...how much is it in dollars?

Hi Jellen

3:32 pm

cheekycharlie

ty champ

3:32 pm

Soodlebum

NancyBoy. Will you be told????? You will light up their lives. And if you don't, they are not worth the trouble. Either way - you come up smiling!

3:32 pm

KatieMcG

Hi Jellen {{{{{hugs}}}}}

3:32 pm

Nancy Boy

That works out around £9.50, Charlie!

3:32 pm

Scrabbler

Your family will allow a visit, NB? That is good.

3:32 pm

Soodlebum

Hello Jellen. I love your FB tribute to Tim. Thank you for sharing.

3:32 pm

Nancy Boy

awww, thanks Soodle :) I hope so!!

3:33 pm

cheekycharlie

thanks NB

3:33 pm

Nancy Boy

Ah no Scrabbs, this is the family in Korea - they think I'm dead, so they don't know I'm coming. But I am...in 9 days!

3:33 pm

Nancy Boy

you're welcome :)

3:34 pm

KatieMcG

are you going to let them know you are alive before you turn up?

3:34 pm

Soodlebum

Red, would I be right in guessing your date was not quite a match made in heaven?

3:35 pm

KatieMcG

Charlie - I joined over 4 years ago, great value for money lol

3:35 pm

redturtlehead

He just sent me another message. The date was alright, but the obsessive follow up is annoying and frankly a bit scary.

3:35 pm

Nancy Boy

Nope, pretty much just going to turn up on the doorstep - I don't think they'll believe me otherwise. News of my 'death' came from my parents - as far as the rest of my family is concerned, they have no reason to lie.

3:35 pm

cheekycharlie

cool Katie, I will defo join up tommorrow

3:35 pm

redturtlehead

nancy, when do you go?

3:36 pm

redturtlehead

Charlie, it took me almost a year to join, I wish I had just done it earlier, I love the icon themes and such...

3:36 pm

Nancy Boy

the 20th, Red! Hence, I am beginning to flip out a little about it :P

3:36 pm

cheekycharlie

is there many to choose from Red?

3:37 pm

Scrabbler

Red, yes, his behavior is worrisome.

3:37 pm

cheekycharlie

where r u living now NB?

3:38 pm

redturtlehead

Well the icons, you can upload anything you want, I usually choose from google images.

3:38 pm

Nancy Boy

Currently in London, Charlie :) my parents moved to England from Seoul when I was five

3:38 pm

KatieMcG

charlie you can upload any photo to be your icon, however sprite posts themes every day and you can change it to match the theme

3:38 pm

Soodlebum

Is there anybody here (or on Planet Earth) who hasn't heard that my daughter won us a 3 night break in a luxury 4 star hotel? I have been crowing about this since the weekend.... We check in on Sunday....I CANNOT wait. Spa, massages, 4-poster bed......

3:39 pm

redturtlehead

Nancy, I htink it will do you a lot of good. I hope you will be able to update us here about your trip...

3:39 pm

Scrabbler

Wow, Soodle! What a special prize!

3:40 pm

MizHoffle

Have fun!!

3:40 pm

ChampFit

Soodle, the update here is that MY 15 year old has NOT won anything. I'm excited for you! You'll have so much fun!

3:40 pm

KatieMcG

I really wished I hadn't just had my evening snack of an orange and a low fat yoghurt. this is for two reasons 1) I would LOVE some chocolate and 2) I obviously didn't get all the chilli off my hands when making the salsa and now my lips are stinging like mad

3:40 pm

cheekycharlie

Very Nice Soodle..sonds as though your gonna have a great time there

3:40 pm

Soodlebum

I know, I am soooooo excited! Its the sort of place that I am normally found peering in the windows of, with my nose pressed up against the window, drooling...

3:40 pm

KatieMcG

soodle that sounds fantastic, I was away at the weekend so hadn't heard

3:40 pm

Scrabbler

Ouch, Katie

3:40 pm

Nancy Boy

Scrabbler

Uh, oh, J, why the early departure?

3:43 pm

Soodlebum

Oh, poor Jell...

3:43 pm

Jellen

Don't know...maybe he just feels awkward alone with me...

3:43 pm

Scrabbler

Is it too painful for him to stay in town?

3:44 pm

Jellen

Maybe so...

3:44 pm

KatieMcG

it could be that he just needs some time on his own Jellen

3:44 pm

Scrabbler

When will you resume your business, Jellen?

3:45 pm

Jellen

Focusing on deep breaths right now...

3:45 pm

KatieMcG

Oh Jellen I wish we could help more

3:45 pm

Scrabbler

It's HIS choice, J. Not you.

3:46 pm

Scrabbler

3:54 pm

Jellen

No, we were at the hospital

3:55 pm

Good Enough

a few years ago my brother and his wife grew chiles, dried and ground them. only discovered later that night that they hadn't washed their hands thoughly enough. she was especially uncomfortable if you get my drift!

3:55 pm

KatieMcG

i'm going to sit here sobbing about my healthy snack with burning lips while you all get your McDs

3:55 pm

weiik

at least together ... my aunt whom just pasted, her children were at her side ... please be strong, think about what they would want you to be

3:55 pm

redturtlehead

Oh man katie, I should have a salad...

3:56 pm

KatieMcG

3:56 pm

weiik

3:56 pm

redturtlehead

I'm ok, I get this way when I start to run out of groceries.

3:56 pm

Good Enough

ooh now that's not funny katie

3:57 pm

KatieMcG

I did have a salad today made from my very own tomatoes, lettuce, rocket and spring onions, and the chilli burning my lips was home grown. So as I lose weight I can be proud of my achievements lol

3:58 pm

weiik

has anybody made apple fr7/40 lately? They were my daughters favourite snack when she was young

3:58 pm

redturtlehead

Ohh, I should...

3:58 pm

Soodlebum

OMG, Good, Your poor sister in law.... brings a whole new meaning to 'Hot Stuff'.....

3:59 pm

KatieMcG

I think that would have been more painful than the contact and would have gotten much less sympathy

4:00 pm

Good Enough

lol

4:01 pm

Soodlebum

Red, going to McDonalds and ordering a salad is like going to a brewery and ordering a lemonade. Its just not right!

4:02 pm

Nancy Boy

going to mcdonalds is not right full stop!!

4:02 pm

weiik

but soodle, it is a better choice than the big mac .... at least i'd not be feeling that guilty

4:02 pm

KatieMcG

too true soodle, I'm trying to go a month without eating one, I do this one day at a time!

4:03 pm

weiik

4:04 pm

KatieMcG

Hi M9

4:04 pm

4:04 pm

4:05 pm

Nancy Boy

Ew, M9, yes! And yet people ask me why I'm a vegan...

4:06 pm

Soodlebum

When I was growing up, all the kids had dogs, whose names changed daily. We all went through a phase of calling our dogs after American detectives... There was Starsky & Hutch, Ironside, Petrocelli, Cannon, and loads more. Looking back on it, it was so funny...

When I was growing up, the old Batman used to be shown on Irish TV on Saturday evenings. Whether we were dirty or not (!), Saturday evening was bath night. After our baths, all the kids on the road used to stuff our bath-towels down the back of our necks, hop up on our bikes, and trundle up and down the road, going 'Da-na, da-na da-na BAT MAN..... Oh, those were the days............

Thanks to you as well, Anniebrook.

8:15 pm

Anniebrook

8:15 pm

herinfernallady

8:28 pm

lbdawger

it's usually just a blood sample to test for rabies

8:29 pm

HarryHood

not sure - but 1) they might need a brain sample and 2) they probably don't relish the idea of getting a blood sample from a live bat

11:07 pm

stidmama

thanks Min. Hope your week is going well so far?

11:09 pm

Minveryork

Yes stidmama, I am enjoying my time off. You would think I'd be here on Babble all day since I'm home,but life gets in the way and I'm still busy. Didn't get here until after dinner tonite.Glad it was a small one today

11:09 pm

stidmama

yes, I am the same way -- for some reason I never manage to accomplish as much "resting" as I intended on my days and weeks off! LOL

11:11 pm

Minveryork

I'm using my time off to do things I do not have time to do during the school year; i.e. car and dr. appts, cleaning, quality time with dog, other odds and ends.

11:11 pm

stidmama

yep. especially quality time with the dog...

11:11 pm

Jillyjill

I seem to work harder on my days off than my days on the job!!

11:12 pm

11:16 pm

Jillyjill

Okay, for you all on the east coast with heat and humidiity; they just mentioned the dreaded "s" word for tonight in our higher elevations....

11:16 pm

stidmama

yep, I am much the same way. *sigh* but soon I won't be able to stay up until flip... I will have an 8 pm bedtime so I can get up at 5 and leave the house by 5:30 to get to the school I am teaching in by 7:30 every morning...

11:30 pm

mkg

11:31 pm

stidmama

oh, look at the time. I am determined to be at the theater early today... the last two days both I and another mother have been LATE picking up the kids... LOL because they keep ending rehearsal earlier and earlier and earlier! which is very strange for productions which normally rehearse later and later the closer to opening night.

11:32 pm

stidmama
