m9f91 - looked at your blog, then at the other blog that told of your friend Steph (concoluted sentence?) and .... what happened to her children, if you don't mind sharing.
3:05 am

3:06 am
westford

yuck about ata who would do such a thing?
3:06 am
m9f9l

why would someone do that?
3:06 am

God in heaven, what could she have done, to have her chikldren (and her), treated this way.
3:07 am
City 17 dweller

looking for them now, cosmo, (in between gasping in dismay at the chat log news) ...
3:07 am
sandyloo

Terrible, but she wants to know who did it, she said he knew anyway.... but how vicious is that?
3:08 am
m9f9l

she didn't really do anything... they are technically her half siblings..that she pretty much took care of when they were little (mom's a freak).. and then when they were removed from parents, they gave custody to my friend...
3:08 am

af 6/30 ... to do something af**** (over again)
3:09 am

3:15 am
Christine

m9f91 - I read your post, looked to see your current posting (none) then saw a link to a second blog; being nosy, I clicked, and saw the postings about Steph and the children. If they're ;back in Virginia' does that mean they're with parent or foster parents?
3:15 am
m9f9l

ah! under profile!
3:16 am

she has the email address from whence it came but I haven't seen her on since it happened

Hi Haz...pity they feel the need to spread their venom here
3:17 am

Gawd, it gets worse.
3:18 am
Haz1558

The e-mail address was probably false - same as the abusive one that was sent to sprite but made to look as though it had come from me.
3:18 am
sandyloo

A very strange thing to do, and how did they get Ata's husband email?
3:19 am
sandyloo

That thought did cross my mind Haz
3:19 am

I think it crossed a lot of minds
3:20 am

3:40 am

It's about 9:0am in UK, so I guess he's not done with the doctor, yet.
3:40 am
westford

ruby chows are very cat like?
3:40 am
rubyfoo

definitely, like VERY big cats
3:40 am
Christine

Sorry, that was about zooz, not the chowchow.
3:41 am
sandyloo

aaah, difficult to relate when its 4.41pm here
3:41 am
rubyfoo

zooz called the police and said he was seeing his doctor today, so hopefully, he'll be helped, and quickly
3:41 am
sandyloo

Ruby, do you spend a lot of time grooming them or do you send them to the pet parlour?
3:42 am
rubyfoo

the groomers here are all afraid of chows, so I do what little I can but it is an every day chore
3:43 am
sandyloo

Must be a nightmare to bath them
3:43 am
rubyfoo

and although her coat is beautiful at a distance, it has a lot of knots in it and he odor is something only a mother could love!
3:44 am
rubyfoo

we installed a special shower outside, but the weather has been too iffy and husband can't really help. Needless to say, Rubes doesn't really like it
3:44 am
Haz1558

<---------- stands happily in the shower to be washed. Okay, sits down and shivers.
3:44 am
rubyfoo

but do you walk into the living room and shake off all the droplets?
3:44 am
sandyloo

I love long coated dogs but here they would get too many prickles in their coats, the jack russels are fine for us
3:45 am
rubyfoo

you are much better off; I think you have a huge amount to do with horses and being a perfect wife and all that!!
3:45 am
sandyloo

One of our jacks loves the water and if you run a bath and leave the door open she jumps in!
3:45 am

You are just a lost cause Sandy, not worth my while trying to correct you
3:59 am

That sounds even lovelier. You have a date after that for the MRI?

Excelent idea spritey sprite, it will do you and the family the world of good to get away for a while. Shame re the girls but everything has its season.

But yes, I can iron.
5:35 am

Hi Katie.

Not sure about that lynxxx, last time I loaned Haz a male I never got him back.
5:35 am

very wise, Haz. Once it is healed, you could have a vacuuming feast.

can you drive by and pick mine up too, Katie?

You'll have to sneak it in. I managed to do the ironing while everyone else was out otherwise I might have been scolded.

in fairness Mari has just taken most of mine and my washing, I only have the shorts and trousers left
5:38 am
herinfernallady

Can I have a person kidnap me so I don't have to go to the future MILs tommorrow
5:38 am

It would be not so much a case of washing your dirty linen in public as ironing it in private.

6:50 am

zooz, I want to say one more thing: saying what you were doing to yourself here in chat was a very brave thing to do. Opening yourself to our care was too. And letting in the police, eating cake, contacting your doc and deciding to go on, are the bravest of all. *hug*

JBV - your comment about about family characteristics passed down = do you know the poem called The Family Face?
9:11 am
Anniebrook

FM, I am reading Citizens of London. It is about the courage and determination of the Brits during WWII and the interaction between the UK and the US>
9:12 am
FMitch

Oh that sounds interesting Annie, we were talking earlier about The Help which I bought as a result of babblers talking about it.
9:12 am
JBV

Annie, that sounds very interesting - I'll put it on my list - I have my father's letters from 1943 and 1944 and some are from when he was stationed in England - he had some great experiences with the English
9:12 am
rururocks

oh great news Dorens!
9:12 am
JBV

9:13 am
Dorens

9:13 am
FMitch

JBV, how wonderful to have your fathers letters from that period!
9:13 am

Now.. if Ken will just buy you that new car..
9:14 am
JBV

yes, FMitch, I've done a big project with them, typed out each one (had to translate some which were in Italian), and created a family "book" for my brother and sister - it's a project still in progress, as I would like to add some narrative and really tell a story
9:14 am
JBV

I have 54 letters
9:14 am
Dorens

:-) he really doesn't need to, ru. i have a nice one of my own.. i'm really a pretty lucky lady
9:14 am
FMitch

My Mother was only a child of 10 when the war started and I remember asking her to tell me stories of the war. her younger sister had never seen or tasted a banana for example.
9:14 am
rururocks

I'm kidding
9:15 am

How is Haz doing ? recovering?
9:16 am
JBV

I also have his photos of his wartime service - some from England and some from France
9:16 am
FMitch

Haz is doing very well the op was a doddle and she is able to do everything apart from hoover -which of course is driving her mad.
9:17 am
JBV

thanks for the author info, Annie - I will definitely look it up
9:17 am
rururocks

9:18 am
Anniebrook

I did far more cardio/aerobic exercise in the winter with XC-skiing + snowshoeing, then added mountain biking, hiking + weight-work in the spring.

::rips hair out::

time for this gal to ask for a raise. not only do i always end up cleaning up everyones work after them, but in the last year or so, we have gone down 3 staff, leaving me the only tester left on the contract. so basically, im doing the work of 4 people.
*humbug*

i would ask Eva if i was you..taking liberties if you ask me.
10:11 am
EvaNadine

ive never actually asked for a raise before, so i dont really know how to do it. and ive never been very good at promoting myself.
but this is just ridiculous.
10:12 am
Scrabbler

So many employers do that: squeeze more out of fe5 employees.
10:12 am
Scrabbler

Eva, do you have a Plan B?
10:12 am
EvaNadine

yeah, apparently the title of the last management meting was "budget cuts"
10:13 am

thats what my friend did, and it worked for her
10:13 am
EvaNadine

scrabbler. not particularly, but i have considered moving to a different contract within my company -- they have a few closer to home, and my friend/former manager is on one of them, and i know if theres a spot there, she would hire me.
10:13 am
rururocks

um I wouldn't say anything eva.. but let them know you could use help
10:13 am
zoozzoom

well i am sure you are contributing to the cuts by doing four peoples work Eva
10:14 am

cuts are all well and good but overwork can make you ill and where would they be then

this needs to be pointed out to them

i wont be putting my job in danger, but i will make it fairly clear to them that they are putting themselves in a bad position by cutting staff so low here. not only am i good at what i do, but i have been here a long time and have a lot of institutional/historic knowledge that no one else has that will be lost if/when i leave.

heh, i guess i do.
but really, i just know the history behind why these applications were designed the way they are, and whether or not some functionalities are now obsolete. theres not a lot of documentation from back in the day, other than inside my head. :)

It's interesting to see how some of the boys in that film have grown up to have good film and TV careers. Yes, the bit at the end has them all standing on their desks, swearing allegiance to 'Captain, my captain'

I am going to rent the film..really must see it.
10:35 am

It was set in the US, Christine, supposedly 1950s private school. I enjoyed it, it just seemed so ridiculous that boys of their age would be repeating things by rote.

10:44 am

He plays Dr. James Wilson in house, Haz
10:45 am

Hugh Laurie's a very good actor, Jellen, isn't he? He was well known over here, but of course, it was House in the States which really brought him to attention over there.
10:46 am

And Stephen Fry...what a pair of talents!

11:07 am
crosshair

10. Guaranteed to get at least a little something in the sack.

9. If you get tired, wait 10 minutes and go at it again.

8. The uglier you look, the easier it is to get some.

7. You don't have to compliment the person who gave you candy.

6. If you get a stomach ache, it won't last nine months.

4. If you wear your Batman mask, no one thinks you're kinky.

3. It doesn't matter if kids hear you moaning and groaning.

2. Less guilt the next morning.

1. If you don't get what you want, you can always try next door.

A lady walks into a drugstore and tells the pharmacist she needs some cyanide. The pharmacist says, "Why in the world do you need cyanide?"

The lady then explains that she needs it to poison her husband. The pharmacist's eyes get big and he says, "I can't give you cyanide to kill your husband! That's against the law! I'll lose my license. They'll throw both of us in jail and all kinds of bad things will happen! Absolutely not—you cannot have any cyanide!"

The lady reaches into her purse and pulls out a picture of her husband in bed with the pharmacist's wife. The pharmacist looks at the picture and says, "Ohhhh. Well, now. You didn't tell me you had a prescription...

What games does Nick play?
4:24 pm

you are lucky feathers..here the new -phones are impossible to get
4:24 pm

shape builder, it's a puzzle game, and then toddler teasers, where he has to touch the letter/shape that they say, or a sorting one, where he has to sort letters, numbers or shapes.
4:24 pm
featherbee

problem is now when my phone rings, he runs after me saying "i play! i play!"
4:25 pm

it did come in handy when i was stuck waiting 10 minutes at lowes for someone to even talk to me at the paint counter.

I am more worried that you have "walking pneumonia" or pertussis.

don't think pneumonia; not prone to that type of thing

A cold is a viral sinus infection and should resolve after 10-14 days. Bacterial sinusitis is suspected if these symptoms last more than 2 wks.

Hello hpb! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle!
10:11 pm
Minveryork

Gr 5/14ings all babblers! I gave up on the grid so now I can wr5/18 a story of clues. It aw4/8 me how some babblers can finish big grids in just hours. Ha 4/5 off to those talented babblers! Sometimes Babble just ea 4/4 up my day and nothing else is done.I started this grid at flip & found half of the words. Then I woke up this morning and got a fr5/18 start on grid & I found some more words. I have 176 words so5/16,but I had fe5/24 hours to do grid because I was very busy and did not have much fr4/7 time. I won't fr4/7 over not finishing the grid. I agr4/6 with other babblers in th 4/5 babbling should be fun and not stressful. I do not ta4/8 it too seriously when I don't finish grid.I will be fr5/16 tomorrow, so hopefully I'll be able to finish the grid. I'm usually the fr6/27 on the weekends because I don't have to work. Babbling time may be cut short because husband & I had a he 5/12 to he 5/12 about my babbling time. We usually get into really he 4/5ed arguments over Babble,but not this time.I can tell he is about ready to tell me to take a hi 4/9 because of all of the hours I spend on computer & the non-hours I spend cleaning house. Don't want to hi4/5 someone to do it, so I need to do it. Now I can he 4/5 husband waiting for me to watch a movie.I'm going to get out of this hard se4/4 and go sit on the so4/7 so 4/7 and go watch a film which st 4/4s Morgan Freeman. I will not be back here for the re 4/4 of the night. I will st 5/10 babbling again tomorrow. Goodnight babblers!
