great to have on hand, jilli
12:54 am

I'm sure, flosey - probably nicer than mine. Except for my large lavender bush. ;)
12:55 am
Pinikula

I have a lavendar bush in my backyard...but they're 'illegal' here now...
12:55 am
J. C.

How can lavender bushes be illegal?!
12:55 am
jillibus

why on earth should lavender be illegal?
12:56 am
J. C.

No kidding - who smokes it? :P
12:56 am
J. C.

That would give someone lovely breath. :P
12:56 am
Pinikula

because it's not 'native' to this area and is an intrusive plant? I don't know...
12:56 am
flosey

my goodness, we have lavender farms here!
12:57 am
J. C.

How ridiculous. As if you don't have other non-native plants growing there? Nonsense.
12:57 am
Pinikula

I just know that because it's already here, I don't have to get rid of it...just can't plant any.
12:57 am
J. C.

Or else, what - you'll be arrested? :P
12:57 am
Pinikula

cha right...
12:57 am

12:58 am

oops...wrong plant...my bad...
12:58 am
Pinikula

...they banned the butterfly bush...
12:58 am
Pinikula

JC, that grows rampant here...
12:59 am
J. C.

Glad I don't live in that country...
12:59 am
J. C.

What, wild?
12:59 am
jillibus

same comment re butterfly bush -- quite harmelss!
12:59 am
J. C.

I'm wondering how this can be?
1:00 am
jillibus

JC -- can't get into the acrobot guestbook -- just tried -- some kind of error...
1:00 am
Pinikula

due to the plant's aggressive competition with Douglas Fir seedlings, an economically key crop for the state, the plant is ironically bad for butterflies. While it attracts the insects, it chokes out other native plants that would feed caterpillars, and is not itself a caterpillar habitat. In New Zealand, which has a similar climate to that of Oregon, the butterfly bush is so invasive that there are dense monoculture stands where nothing else grows.
1:00 am
J. C.

I'll check the settings, Jill.
1:00 am
J. C.

Oh?
1:01 am
jillibus

Well, they're pretty eco-sensitive around here too, but no such ban. I have 2 buddleias and neither have been aggressive
1:05 am
J. C.

We need a new acro word. Any suggestions?
1:05 am
Pinikula

they are, but well...I live in a tree state
1:06 am
Pinikula

* thinking JC *
1:06 am
Pinikula

easy or hard?
1:07 am
jillibus

I thought of a good one months ago but can't remember it now -- wrote it down on a slip of paper but do you think I can find it?
1:08 am
jillibus

Pini, we live with Douglas firs here too...
1:08 am
Pinikula

too funny, jilli ;)
1:09 am
Pinikula

I never know what the reasoning is around here, jilli...sometimes they come up with the weirdest things
1:11 am
J. C.

A good word for the acro game, Jill?
1:12 am
J. C.

We have one now, Jill - just posted.
1:12 am
Pinikula

I'll check the bot in the morning to see what was chosen...calling it a night...cya'll tmw ;)
1:13 am
J. C.

Settings are all on 'connections' Jill. So no reason for that unless you aren't connected to the acrobot?

Hmmm. Looks like you are?!

Glad I did the shopping yesterday, all I need to do today is walk into the village for the Saturday papers and that is me done for the day.

Did you watch any of the Strictly Come Dancing last night?
3:38 am

Ann Widicome is dancing tonight and Paul Daniels did last night, a bit painful.

She is a bit.

HAve you completed the grid, I've not long started but so far so good.
3:42 am

3:45 am
FMitch

Hows the glittery one Haz, is she still on the tablets?
3:46 am
Haz1558

Yes, she'll always be on them. She got trimmed yesterday so is looking and smelling rather nice.
3:47 am
FMitch

that will help her muchly with the arranging of groomed paws then :)
3:48 am
Haz1558

Yes, much less to ferret through. It gives her more time to read the paper and do her chores.

It's all gone now :-( Do you have both the K words? Not asking for clues, but have one and just can't see the other.
5:14 am

Wondered if it was a fish.
5:15 am

How are things in your neck of the woods this Saturday morning?
5:19 am

Better weather than yesterday, but that's not hard. I gather the sun is shining in Billingshurst (sto step-daughter says).
5:20 am
FMitch

It was a little while ago but had gone all shy and hidden behind grey - but at least it is not raining!
5:21 am
Sally-catlover

Hammered down here yesterday. When I let the hens out they took one look, and said "you've got to be kidding!".
5:22 am
Sally-catlover

But our stream was hammering down like Niagara falls, quite spectacular.
5:22 am
FMitch

LOL re the chickens.
5:23 am
Sally-catlover

Their house is in a covered run which leads to a large free range area, but I think they stayed under cover all day. Got very grumpy with each other!
5:24 am
FMitch

poor chooks, I just had a very bedraggled colony of sparrows looking mournful.
5:25 am
Sally-catlover

We had a beautiful cock pheasant in the garden this morning. A very striking dog collar on him and a most gorgeous tail.
5:25 am
FMitch

oh talking of which I haven't topped up their se4 feeder so I had better pop off and do that now whilst I think of it. TTFN.
6:03 am

All done. Bye to any lurkers. Anyone need clues before I go and make myself useful?

Do you need any more?
6:07 am
zoozzoom

No, i am flying through this one, But many thanks Sally :-)
6:08 am
Sally-catlover

It's a nice quick one today which is good. I didn't have time to finish the very large one the other day.
6:09 am
Sally-catlover

Have you seen Dr_G's latest suggestion on the Babblers group on FB?
6:09 am
zoozzoom

No, i do not use FB, but i have seen the suggestions here in the chog, sounds really good...some great ideas.
6:10 am
zoozzoom

oops, PB, for the se4 word :-(
6:11 am
Sally-catlover

I looked away and didn't notice it so you're safe :-). The latest idea is an Achievements board, where you get a little picture of a rocket (I think) for every so many grids you complete.
6:11 am
jmcnrick

hi all
6:12 am
jmcnrick

has dr god posted something new?
6:12 am
zoozzoom

Hello, Jmc :-)
6:12 am
Sally-catlover

It had gone very quiet on there because Dr_G was doing gainful employment or some such rubbish, so I was pleased he is still working on it.
6:12 am
Sally-catlover

Yes jmc. In the Babble Community group.
6:13 am
zoozzoom

will be interesting to see the final results..
6:16 am
jmcnrick

i will have to go take a peak later
6:17 am
Sally-catlover

I can see it could turn into a badge of shame, for those of us who obviously spend too much time here :-) There's one for Complete 1,000 puzzles.
6:18 am
jmcnrick

lol i spend too much time here but don't worry about completing the grid
6:18 am
zoozzoom

i have completed over 1200 so far..lol
6:18 am
jmcnrick

and there are others who complete all of them and then run away
6:18 am
Sally-catlover

Let me check...
6:19 am
jmcnrick

really zooz???
6:19 am
jmcnrick

where would you check that?
6:19 am
zoozzoom

goto rankings Jmc, it is the stats on the left.
6:20 am
Sally-catlover

Can't see how I would check that.
6:20 am
jmcnrick

oh is that what that is
6:21 am
Sally-catlover

Surely not, that's just average performance?
6:21 am
Sally-catlover

It says For each puzzle that a player participates in, his or her score is divided by the maximum possible score for that puzzle and then multiplied by 1000 to come up with a score between 1 and 1000. The average of all the player's scores is then calculated to get his or her "raw rank." An additional point for every puzzle that the player has completed is then added to their raw rank to come up with their final rank.
6:22 am
carleekat

morning all
6:22 am
Sally-catlover

So today, for instance, with 1055 points, I would score 1,000 plus however many points for however many puzzles I have completed.
6:22 am
zoozzoom

what a shame, would be good to have a rank for how many you complete.
6:23 am
zoozzoom

Hello, Carlee :-)
6:23 am

hi car
6:23 am

another bitty grid...<sigh>
6:23 am
jmcnrick

well make that suggestion to dr god zooz
6:23 am
zoozzoom

in that case, i have not completed as many as i had thought..lol
6:23 am
Sally-catlover

I think there will be on this new feature, in effect. You will be able to see how many you have completed. Dr_G says it will probably be "retroactive".
6:23 am
zoozzoom

A very nice grid though Carlee
6:24 am
jmcnrick

well then everyone will be able to see how few I complete! lol

6:27 am

Yes, I hope this new idea doesn't make people too competitive. I enjoy completing the grids, but if I don't have time, I don't have time and it's not a matter of life or death. And Hi Sprite!
6:27 am
sprite

hi Sally, if it becomes competitive, I am gone
6:27 am

but competitive people can ruin the chat atmosphere, alas
6:29 am

dont you have to do some stupid a$$ like thing to complete 30 in a row to make any sgnificant improvement in your stats????
6:29 am
Sally-catlover

I love playing, love chatting, and am glad to give clues. I hate it when people just appear and without even a "hi" just say, clue for xxx, in a demaing way without even a please.
6:29 am
Sally-catlover

Rant over.
6:29 am

as long as they have a chat log, i will still enjoy being here.

6:38 am

I never race, I just want to find words. All of them, if possible. Learning new ones. Training my brain to see patterns and stay open for new or weird possibilities.

I admire your courage and positive attitude, carlee. Your children will benefit from that.
6:57 am
carleekat

no courage sprite..maybe i just grew up???
6:57 am
jmcnrick

well i think sometimes people get in a tiff and it escalates and that I think happens way too often
6:57 am
jmcnrick

but it sounds like this has been well thought and out and may be one of the reasons why divorce shouldn't be a stigma
6:58 am
sprite

maybe... but certainly courage too.
6:58 am
jmcnrick

so i admire your attitude and i agree with sprite it still takes courage
6:58 am
jmcnrick

especially to do it in a non-toxic way
6:59 am
carleekat

perhaps... this is not a tiff...those who have heard the "saga" know its been a long hawl..sometimes i think i am giving up and maybe if i tried harder... but...the one thought that remains in my head is.." i cannot imagine old age together with that man"
6:59 am
jmcnrick

well there you go
6:59 am
sprite

there is giving up and there is knowing when you have tried enough. Sounds to me like you both know the difference and are doing what is best for all of you.
7:00 am
carleekat

( there soem toxins..right now we cannot be in the same room together with out bickering... but in time... hopefully that will fade away)
7:01 am
jmcnrick

i recommend Mistakes were made butnot by me as a good read about how people paint themselves into corners
7:01 am
jmcnrick

i suspect it will go away car
7:01 am
sprite

it probably will if you can go on respecting eachother as people. And yourself too. And if you both can accept that for your children you will always be mum and dad. There is a connection there.
7:02 am
jmcnrick

it may be like the bickering my boy and i did for him to distance himself from me without too much pain
7:02 am
sprite

great title, jmc!
I would recommend the books of mr and mrs Pease on man and women. For all intersex relationships, not just marriage.
7:02 am
Trifioso

hello friends. Carlee, I am sorry to hear your news, but proud of you. its a hard decision, but it sounds like the right one for you. Children should be in a happy home, if possible, and remember, you are also modeling marriage to them. you would want them to aim for happy, good "fits" in their own marriages....
7:03 am
jmcnrick

i often wonder if i would be so gung-ho about people sticking it out if my hubby had lived?
7:03 am
jmcnrick

hi trif!
7:03 am
Trifioso

And I absolutely, positively recommend the book "getting divorced without ruining your life" by Sam Marguluies
7:04 am
sprite

hiiiii Trif *hugggs*
So true, about modeling marriage. My parents were about the worst examples and I have long doubted I would ever be able to be a good partner. But my grandparents were great together and I know I learned from them too.
7:04 am
carleekat

time will tell ...sorry but i am one of those people who cannot get through self help books...i bought "the secret" cus my sis in law hounded me for weeks...and got to page 2...when i was preggers i got the what to expect when ur ecpecting....i think i got to page 5
7:04 am

whoa. That was a HUGE statement there jmc
7:04 am
jmcnrick

lol car mistakes were made is not a self-help book
7:04 am

carlee, I promise, it's not a self help book. Get it from the library at least. It
7:04 am
Trifioso

it is really excellent
7:05 am

lol carlee, that is not a fun book. You may want to try the books of the Peases or, also very worth while, John Cleese (life and how to survive it is a great one)
7:05 am

ugh - just found the di7. God help us all.....
7:05 am

it is a actually more about politics than marriages but very interesting

oh lovely - now that connie francis "d-i-v-o-r-c-e" song is stuck in my head....

its like childbirth...u forget the painful parts....maybe that is why I am second guessing myself right now about "if i tried harder"
7:09 am

carlee, not to pry, but is the wasband on the same page you are, or is he resisting the sep/div?
7:09 am

jmcnrick

i am still at the same job -- they have just posted it to do a search for a replacement
7:10 am
sprite

carlee, might be just me but I feel 'quit' is a rather negative word. You are not a quitter. You tried and finally decided there were better ways to spend your life and energy. That is wisdom.
7:11 am
jmcnrick

and i have applied for several other jobs
7:11 am
Trifioso

that is beautiful sprite!
7:11 am

i am not quitting! I am stepping down!
7:12 am
jmcnrick

moving on to other things
7:12 am
Trifioso

jmc, I am really shocked! you always speak of it with such conviction and joy. may I please ask, why are you choosing to step down at this time? has something about the job changed, or are you looking for something different?
7:12 am
carleekat

thanks sprite... i will try and remember that..... most times i do..but am hormonal today and its raining..sun came up over and hour ago and it looks like dawn just breaking....
7:12 am

7:13 am
Trifioso

carlee, this is going to be a hard time. there is no reason to surmise otherwise. but it will pass, I promise. funny that you referenced childbirth, as that is EXACTLY the metaphor I have been using lately. My court date is october 14th, and right now it feels like the last month of pregnancy. I am tired, and need this to be over. its been too long now.
7:14 am
jmcnrick

and it was time for me to do something else
7:14 am
jmcnrick

i hope some of the rancor has gone for you trif
7:14 am

sounds like you are on the same sort of page as carlee. you both know it's time to do something, and I think the fact that you are both choosing to be in better environs shows what amazing women you are.

7:17 am
Trifioso

carlee, you should def talk to a good lawyer (I recommend the collaborative kind, if you have that option) and see if you can arrange things so that you are not responsible for his debt. Keeping the children in their house is always a priority for the court
7:17 am
sprite

it will take more time, carlee, but you are going to have your own home in time
7:18 am
carleekat

i want a new home...yes..doing colaborative...
7:18 am
Trifioso

oh, okay then. I am delighted to hear you're doing collaborative. it is the way to go
7:19 am
Trifioso

I got a collaborative lawyer, but the wasband didn't, so we are doing this weird hybrid.
7:20 am
jmcnrick

okay 1/2 way and i promised to help with my sister's book sale so i will be off
7:20 am
carleekat

something smaller...there a lot of little "cottages" in this area as we a lake front community....i want a little cottage...something i can white wash..and collect shells and have water pics up...find old taps and mount to a weathered board for a coat rack and a gingham table cloth on the kitchen table and abook case full of old hard cover books...i want it full of shades of the lake

and yes ..along that line...mind the cottages around here that i can afford are cheeck by jowl on postage size lots...but fence with ivy....that blocks out noisy neighbours
7:24 am
Trifioso

sprite, I like what you are saying. I have sort of been trying to do that very thing with my upcoming court date. Not to envision me walking away with a big smile on my face, or anything like that, but just to hold the image of me getting through this with grace and courage, and both of us making some concessions to the other. mostly I find I am worried about what the judge will decide, in the end.
7:25 am
carleekat

ugh....court..i dont even want to think about court...
7:25 am

i start the whole lawyer thing this week...
7:26 am
Trifioso

for some reason, it's the sound of the gavel bang that I keep fixating on. like a gunshot, killing the marriage. it starts with a kiss, and ends with a gunshot....
7:26 am
sprite

I can imagine it must be really tough to be dependant to the judgement of a stranger in the end. But I do believe that what you are doing will help. It 'tunes' your own mind and energies.
7:26 am
carleekat

i feel same trifs...the lawyer office and the whole divorce ting feels so tawdry
7:27 am

yes, I would rather that we work together to make the decisions that effect our family. but perhaps if we could work together, this would never have happened

I understand, carlee. I was referring to Trif's words, that mr hate doesn't want to have to pay her a cent.
When there are debts, things are different. Tough :(
7:34 am
Trifioso

I still think you should ask if you are responsible for his personal debts, carlee
7:35 am
sprite

not yet, carlee, sorry
7:35 am
carleekat

well..one was for a family vacation.he said he had the $ on hand..a.ctually 2 of them....and then there his truck.....
7:35 am

is the truck in his name only?
7:35 am

we will see...if i do that..he loses everything..goes bankrupt...and then i get no child support etc
7:36 am

yeap..its in his only
7:36 am

then it is his debt

carleecat, I went through this some time back. It has been 4 years. I still pay my ex husband's cell phone bill. But I know if his phone gets cut off he may lose his job (he works from home) and the instability would be terrible for the kids. I have been glad I took the high road
7:37 am
Trifioso

oh, yes, that is a good point sprite. def worth asking
7:37 am
carleekat

and he paid off my car with some rrsp...and when all said and done he giving me that....its in his name
7:38 am

stability for the children is a very good point, alembick. Wtg you did it that way.
7:38 am
carleekat

we will see what the lawyer says...i am not going to quibble unless he does
7:38 am
Trifioso

my biggest concern is my health insurance. it's a family plan, so it does not cost a cent more to have me on it, but he insists on turfing me of it, just the same
7:38 am
alembick

where I live, any debt incurred while legally married, both parties are responsible for the debt, regardless of who actually took the loan or whose name the asset is in. (the asset is legally both too even if only in ones name)
7:38 am
sprite

same here, alembick
7:38 am
carleekat

exactly what i was thinking alem...
7:39 am
sprite

he shouldn't do that, Trif. Maybe he can be convinced the extra money that would cost (for you) could be better spend on the children?
7:41 am
alembick

keep your chin up carlee. hopefully if you turn the focus of the communication to what is best for the kids then he can see that it is more reasonable and better for them to not do things out of spite.
7:41 am
Trifioso

of course he shouldnt, sprite. but he is. he wouldn't contribute a cent for primo's car expenses, he won't give me a cent towards primo's senior pictures, he won't won't, won't. and so I have a credit card bill that climbs higher and higher, while he sits on a pile of money.
7:42 am
JBV

good morning, reading and learning - my good wishes to you both, trif and carlee - one question for Trif - are you sure about the health insurance? we just had a case here where a police officer was convicted of fraud for keeping his ex-wife on his "family " plan health insurance - should have notified them of the divorce but didn't
7:42 am
carleekat

i cant say my ex is like that at all trifs..my daughter has an enrichment trip this weekend coming up..he is paying the 200.00 for it..he is working a side job to come up with the $

7:43 am

that is terribly sad, Trif. Sounds very much like my father in his divorce. Try not to worry too much though... focus on how things are going to work out great for you and your children. They will.

it's all a bit dicey right now, exacerbated by the fact that about a month ago he got in a HUGE fight with secondo, and she has refused to see him, or really even speak to him since. and it took him about ten seconds to start railing about how *I* am not doing enough to fix it, how she has no right to say when they visit (she is over 14, so indeed, so does), and how I am not helping him enough. So that is the mind set he is in as we enter final negotiations. charming

Trif, I was at the school my kids go to, and listened to the speech the principal gave to the new kids (my daughter for one). She told them to ask themselves every day: "What did I contribute today to... a pleasant class atmosphere, a good school atmosphere, etc."
Your soontobe-ex should ask himself the same. Not about what you do, but about what HE does.
7:48 am
Trifioso

excellent sprite! it is an important question for me to ask myself. every day I should strive to be excellent.

6:45 pm
m9f9l

hopefully it's woodaged. that's better. but the idea is to balance the skin's ph. if you don't have that.. you can do baking soda.
6:45 pm
m9f9l

google it.
6:46 pm
Jellen

I do have baking soda...
6:46 pm
m9f9l

it says 1/2 cup to a tepid bath and soak in it.
6:47 pm
m9f9l

or.. just dissolve some in a big bowl, wet a nice not rough cloth, and drape the cloth on for a whle (it will feel good cause it's cool).. as the cloth warms, just redip it and put on again
6:47 pm
m9f9l

that way you can treat the burn, feel better and still BABBLE!!
6:49 pm

I may be going out again tonight, but I will keep these in mind...

6:52 pm
Jellen

de + *** crept in on little cat feet...
6:52 pm
m9f9l

I think that dissolving some baking soda in cool water and then just swabbing it everywhere would be quick and not stinky (quite the opposite I suppose!).. and getting the ph balanced sooner than later would be a good idea.
6:52 pm
Jellen

I'm very cl 5/12 to the finish line so here's a story of clues for today's da 4/5 October 2, 2010 in case any of you ne 4/5 help. Had to fe 4/8 for myself with the grid today. I got no help from monkeys today. When I went to get monkeys, they pretended to be de 4/7 by saying they could not hear me.Then they had a fa 4/11 headache. I usually te 4/5 to sc 5/14 monkeys, but today I wasn't so4/5 on the idea of fighting with them so I let them go. They ran away on their fe 4/7 to go digging for go4/7. So I didn't fe4/8 them fe4/7 cheese which they love.Ne4/5 to ta4/8 a break.I am going to get out of this se 4/4 and get se6/21 on my co4/7 so4/7 & watch the di5/14 film Saturday Night Fever. Usually like to watch suspense films that keep you on the ed4/7 of your se4/4 like the movie Under Si5/14, but I LOVE Saturday Night Fever. I've se 4/4 it so many times. I also like John Travolta. He is a ne 4/4 actor. I'll be back later after I've ea5/10 dinner and watched my movie to accomplish the fe4/7 of de 6/20ing this grid.
