Christine

2:57 am

flosey

bye for now jhb

2:57 am

jhb

Christine - what does yw mean?

2:57 am

Christine

See you soon, luv. Don't forget I need Larry's address.

2:57 am

Christine

you're welcome.

2:58 am

flosey

where did you sisters originate?

2:58 am

jhb

Christine - oh yes. He doesn't read his emails very often so I'll give you his home address. Will send an email right now so be sure to look at yours. Love.

2:59 am

Christine

We're from London (UK) - I've been in US almost 50 years, and JB has been in NZ alsmost that long, after living in Canada for a while. Too far apart.

2:59 am

jhb

Hi flosey - talkative New Zealander again. Cant stop us ionce we get started. We originated in London, Christine moved to SF and I moved to Scotland with my dashing Scotsman, then Auckland NZ, Montreal Quebec and back to Auckland and then various other places around this lovely country. Too much information?

3:00 am

flosey

wow, you are really a worldly traveller

3:00 am

Christine

I was in SF only a year - missed So.Cal, and came back before the second winter. Too like London weather.

3:01 am

flosey

I have a friend in Vancouver who is from NZ

3:01 am

jhb

Really going now - bye to all my new friends.

3:01 am

Christine

Bye.

3:01 am

jhb

Oh flosey - caught your last post - where is she from?

3:06 am

flosey

he is from Aukland

3:07 am

flosey

he is quite an artist

3:08 am

jhb

Soory - made an assumption as to gender. I lived on the beach at Takapuna in Auckland and he will know where that is. When you say he is quite an artist is that how he occupies himself or does he have amundane job and art is what makes his heart sing?

3:08 am

flosey

he has a studio in North Van where he teaches and paints

3:09 am

flosey

I believe that is it, jhb, I don't know of anything else he might do

3:09 am

jhb

Fantastic. Bye really this time.

6:19 am

Trifioso

amen carlee. I freaked for about a second, and now I am babbling happily away. it's just a team thing, and I often find the best parties are the last minute kind

6:20 am

Christine

Could've been worse, could've been last night was your night for hosting.

6:20 am

herinfernallady

it is also a bit adult

6:21 am

herinfernallady

Carlee I still would love to have a job in the scream palice

6:22 am

carleekat

thats right trifs....dont sweat the small stuff..pasta and sauce...is a bitty little thing...i always have 2 extra kids or more for dinner anymore...

6:22 am

EspritdJean

"Don't sweat the petty stuff"

6:28 am

6:29 am

Trifioso

THat too. I was snuggling a kitty. I think they know something is up

6:31 am

Trifioso

I am thinking I should go buy plates, though. I am not sure I have enough real ones, so it might have to be paper -- dread!

6:32 am

carleekat

sneezing fit....and it turns out am out of kleenex

6:32 am

Trifioso

remind me not to shake hands with carlee today....lol

6:32 am

herinfernallady

Trifs can you get some nice plastic ones?

good paper makes for quick clean up

6:33 am

Trifioso

maybe herin...at least those I could recycle....

6:33 am

herinfernallady

O I have an idea

6:33 am

herinfernallady

Thrift shop

6:34 am

Trifioso

maybe herin, but I think i will go with the plastic ones. it's an initial outlay, but I could recycle them, so that's good. If I want to go real plates I could ask the church if I could borrow some....they are great about that kind of thing

6:35 am

herinfernallady

http://tinyurl.com/292djco Here

6:35 am

carleekat

true - but practice makes it better

9:04 am

crosshair

i never let typing get in the way of a good word game;))

9:05 am

hootowl

and think about yesterdays and todays where I asked for clues for last words and they both yutned out to be fishy!

9:05 am

Scrabbler

Do you ever finish a grid, Crossy?

9:06 am

crosshair

i actually finish about 6 out of ten grids

9:07 am

hootowl

one big advantage of being "retired"; I can be on whenever I have time and fresh eyes are a real help.

9:07 am

Scrabbler

More than me, Crossy. I aim for passing halfway, unless it is a smaller grid or I have time to finish.

9:08 am

crosshair

"anything over ,lets say 250,i usually never finish

9:09 am

hootowl

It helps that BF doesn't mind when I hog "his" cmp. Only time I don't finish is when we are on vacation or weather keeps us off=line.

9:09 am

kje

40 left and still oe blank tile

9:10 am

hootowl

Or once when I actually forgot to finish.

9:10 am

Scrabbler

9:21 am

hootowl

croosy - you traded rain for snow?

9:21 am

hootowl

bye Scrabs

9:21 am

i did,but at that time,we traded poverty for work

9:21 am

hootowl

THAT works!

9:22 am

Nancy Boy

my family came here to escape the threat of terrorism. d'oh.

9:23 am

crosshair

we,good to get away from that nb

9:23 am

hootowl

That didn't - sorry NB. But remember - it's not personal and it's all over

9:23 am

crosshair

just stay away from those football games ahd you will be fine;))

9:24 am

Nancy Boy

out of the frying pan into the fire! as if the north would try anything. even their OWN allies don't support them :P

9:24 am

hootowl

posturing

9:24 am

hootowl

makes them feel important

9:25 am

Nancy Boy

right...such a scary, volatile country. my mum's from the north - got smuggled out when she was young. never talks about it!

9:26 am

hootowl

I've seen that here in people who were in WW2 . It is not something they want to reminise on

9:27 am

crosshair

you are in a far far better place

9:27 am

hootowl

The very few who did talk about it were usually blowharts

9:27 am

Nancy Boy

yeah, quite. Anyway...now that I've made the conversation sufficiently serious and akward...I'm off for a geriatric little afternoon nap. Later, all ;)

9:28 am

hootowl

no prob - have a good nap NB - maybe later

9:28 am

hootowl

not awkward

9:28 am

hootowl

kinda nice to have a serious conversation

9:29 am

crosshair

the only time my granpa ever talked about ww2 was in his last year before the cancer got him

9:30 am

hootowl

Had 2 uncles there and nothing ever said. Vietnam - no conversations either

9:31 am

crosshair

right near the end he said,it was scary bloody and dirty and he killed a lot of misguided people and lost almost all his buddies..that was it.i had to research the rest if i wanted to know

9:32 am

hootowl

nothing at all. I did find out one was a tail-gunner. The other just seemed to take out his anger at taking orders on his family. Not a pleasant person

9:33 am

crosshair

many brought home ghosts that were hard to live with

9:34 am

hootowl

My father spent the war in the Brooklyn navy yard doing the electrical work on the ships.

9:35 am

hootowl

ww2 that is - married men - especially w/children were exempt from draft then.

9:35 am

crosshair

my granpa was injured in a unspecified action overseas, was sent home and became a firewatcher.when london was being bombed he would sit and spot the impacts and direct fire/rescue efforts

9:36 am

crosshair

my da was born when he came home for new assignment

9:36 am

hootowl

I heard about the fire watchers. Dangerous job but I bet it saved a lot of people and buildings!

9:38 am

crosshair

very dngerous,he had a partner,a close friend.they were on the roof of their watch building when they fancied a pint..there was a bar under blackout but still open next door,my granpa left his buddy at the post and nipped next dor a 2 pints..when he got back,the entire observation building was gone..along with his buddy

9:39 am

hootowl

omg

9:39 am

hootowl

that can make you paranoid for sure!

9:39 am

crosshair

i only found that out much later from his buddies relatives

9:40 am

hootowl

They do not talk themselves. Might be better if they did. Holding all those horrors inside cannot be healthy

9:41 am

crosshair

when the war ended he became a fireman till the early 70,s then he got lung cancer

9:41 am

crosshair

they do talk with war buddies at leigons but nowhere else

9:42 am

bichon

hoot, now way -- Brooklyn Navy Yard! I was born there in '46

9:42 am

hootowl

there was a man who lived to serve. You have a right to be proud of him.

9:42 am

hootowl

At the yard???

9:43 am

bichon

Well, at the hospital at the Yard. Dad was stationed there in '46

9:43 am

hootowl

i was born in Brooklyn in 41, sister in 43 and other sister in 45

9:44 am

hootowl

not in the yard. Never knew there was a hospital there...but I was young

9:44 am

bichon

Where did you live? I lived on Pacific St. in Brownsville til I was 4 and 1/2

9:45 am

hootowl

at that time Pilling St. Off of Broadway - miles before Highland park

9:45 am

bichon

I don't have any idea of where that is

9:45 am

hootowl

was not aware of neighborhoods then

9:46 am

hootowl

I'm sure you could find it in Goole maps. But right now I can't find Goole maps!

9:46 am

bichon

We moved to Rockaway after that. To a middle income city housing project. Mostly everyone there had a dad who served in the war

9:46 am

hootowl

I seem to remember it being kinda central Brooklyb

9:47 am

bichon

Okay, it's in Bushwick. Definitely not my part of Brooklyn

9:48 am

hootowl

Nuts - I can't even remember the street we moved to next. Then to Williamsberg. Vewry jewish. If I had 1 day a week with a full class it was a miricle. I never knew they had so many religious holidays!

9:49 am

hootowl

yeah Bushwick. but more east end than west

9:50 am

hootowl

then we moved to Long Island. Family owned a summer home there and we took it over.

9:51 am

bichon

Yes hoot, we had lots of days off from school and I lived in Rockaway.

9:51 am

hootowl

The one thing I will oaways remember about that street I don't remember was that if you went around the corner and drove straight, you arrived at Ebbets Field.

9:52 am

hootowl

It was near an armory too.

9:53 am

hootowl

We huh? I hope I'm not offending you. But I did like school and I did like learning and it was disappointing to sit and draw or read alot

9:54 am

bichon

Ebbets Field, my father practically lived there

9:54 am

hootowl

I was the only one ther - and the teacher

9:56 am

hootowl

My father would not take me to a ballgame! I saw Ebbets Field when he took me to I think a Hopalong Cassidy rodeo. Hockey games were ok but I guess as a dyed-in-the wool Yankee fan he couldn't abide ging into the enemies camp!

9:56 am

bichon

I remember the gentile students who had to hang out at school, while we got days off. Unfair

9:56 am

hootowl

I think I became a Dodger fan just to spite him

9:57 am

bichon

Family definitely not Yankee fans. They were crushed when the Dodgers moved

9:57 am

bichon

Even though I don't watch baseball, I'm a Mets fan just because

9:58 am

hootowl

I tried following them in Cal but the resorses we have now were not there. I finally gave up when the Mets started.

9:59 am

bichon

When I am among other Brooklynites, my accent returns. I've been in CT now for 38 years.

10:01 am

hootowl

I apparently never had one. I was always getting surprised looks when I told them where I was from. There is only one small area where the dutch accent prevails.

10:01 am

bichon

Is the Dutch accent and the Brooklyn accent one in the same?

10:02 am

hootowl

I think so. I'm not sure accent is the right word either

10:03 am

bichon

What I consider a Brooklyn accent is largely spoken on the Island, Queens and parts of Jersey

10:03 am

hootowl

Most people think a Brokklyn accent is dese, dem, dose. Not common and def not all over the county. Mostlu around Greenpoint area

10:04 am

hootowl

Never was aware of it and most of those areas are expats from Brooklyn

10:05 am

bichon

Hubby, who speaks very standard American always laughs at some of my pronounciations. I pronounce the animal donkey as if it rhymes with monkey. And chawkle and cawfee

10:05 am

hootowl

I have once been identified as a New Yorker by accent. I don't drawl I guess.

10:05 am

bichon

* chawklet

10:06 am

bichon

I'm sure if we spoke, we'd have very similar pronounciations

10:06 am

hootowl

That isn't standard american? And since when IS there a standard american???

10:07 am

hootowl

think so!

10:07 am

bichon

By standard I would think of maybe midwest. I guess standard isn't the realy word for it.

10:08 am

hootowl

the closest thing to standard american is probably cartoons. Movies are useless

10:08 am

kje

gu5?

10:08 am

bichon

10:09 am

hootowl

and since I've been w/BF we have done alot of traveling and regional standards are firmly in place as long as you don't stay in high class hotels and such. They are always soooooo right

10:09 am

10:10 am

California, where I spend a lot of time [Bay Area] doesn't seem to have a strong accent

10:10 am

hootowl

I feel like I'm doing what I always dislike - hogging the chat w/non-grid conversation. But it's been fun

10:10 am

rururocks

they talk with clenched teeth in Marin Bichon..

10:11 am

Deeha

It is strange to read your messages. Altho we have loads of regional accents over here we dont usually think of America as having regional accents for some reason. And why not? You are a much bigger country than we are. Except Deep South - like Scarlet O'Hara!!

10:11 am

bichon

what? haven't heard that.

10:12 am

Deeha, we definitely have regional accents. Maybe not as distinct as the South. If you listed to someone from Minnesota, you can hear a Scandinavian influence [and some Canadian]

10:13 am

I have trouble sometimes watching Masterpiece theater. I think they try to curb the accent but it do slip through!

Even CT has an accent. Son doesn't have it, daughter does

I love Masterpiec Theater. Watching the Wallender series now [Season 2]

oh my yes! My sisters friend moved to boston. The most fasinating part is when she visits we all start talking like her!

If you really listen you will find that there are a number of US Southern accents....Charleston, SC is different from Georgia or Alabama

not too bad. I lost a stone and a half then put on a bit on holiday but lost it again!

10:56 am

Haz1558

Have you got an ultimate target you're aiming for?

10:56 am

KatieMcG

4 stone more!

10:57 am

Haz1558

Eeeek!

10:59 am

Haz1558

And a timeframe for achieving it?

10:59 am

KatieMcG

2 years

11:00 am

Haz1558

A marathon rather than a sprint. (Sorry for mentioning marathon, the forerunner of Snickers)

11:02 am

KatieMcG

and I'm of the age to remember that lol! I thought it was more sensible to set a gradual target but giving up smoking at the same time has rather derailed me on the steady loss but at least I haven't put any on

11:03 am

Haz1558

Good for you on giving up the cigarettes as well. Were you a heavy smoker before?

11:04 am

KatieMcG

about 10 a day, it's been quite hard to get nicotine replacement low enough so probably not that much

11:05 am

Haz1558

Nevertheless, it's an achievement, so well done. I suppose you'll be going teetotal next.

have been propogating them for over 30 years, tempted to stop but nooo

11:19 am

FMitch

lol,

11:19 am

helensgirlkid

Do you take your impatiens indoors in the winter Aloy? The one time I tried that they brought in a huge infestation of bugs, and I've never had the courage to try it again.

11:20 am

Aloyisius

helens, for some reason, thankfully, this species, called "Sultana", is resistant to bug infestations.. have not had that problem

11:21 am

Aloyisius

they are not annuals - they are "tender perennials"

11:21 am

helensgirlkid

I shall make a not of that one, and try to get it next summer. I used to get summer plants, and then houseplants as well, and everybody else in the family got fed up with it!

11:21 am

helensgirlkid

Believe me, tender perennials do not do well outdoors all year in Calgary!

11:22 am

Aloyisius

have to cut them back as they get "leggy" indoors over the winter, but in the spring they are easy to cut and root - so I have lots of "new" plants to put back outdoors.

11:25 am

helensgirlkid

That legginess is what keeps me from just having them as houseplants - and of course they are a lovely, easy piece of outdoor decor - but I suppose I could just cut back and root in new pots!

11:27 am

Aloyisius

yes, you really do need to give them a good "haircut" (-: I save a number of the cuttings to use as starters, putting them in water till they root

11:27 am

helensgirlkid

I will now probably become almost unconscious of teh chat while I stare at the grid - anybody wants me, just shout - I'll probably notice a batch of CAPS!

11:27 am

its only tuesday ruby

12:17 pm

rubyfoo

my week went from Wednesday to today!

12:17 pm

rubyfoo

the only really good thing to come out of it was a way of cooking fresh beets and then adding feta cheese, learned from my boy

12:17 pm

carleekat

alrighty then ruby....well..the week is over...so hopefully next week is an improvement

12:18 pm

rubyfoo

starting this very minute! I feel like I'm back with friends and nobody will yell at me

12:19 pm

carleekat

how do u prepare the beets ruby?

12:19 pm

crosshair

i would never hell at you ruby

12:20 pm

rubyfoo

he bakes them wrapped in aluminum for 1 1/2 hours, then peels them, adds olive oil and a little bit of wine vinegar, salt and pepper, and when they are tepid and they are cut up, add little pieces of feta

12:20 pm

FMitch

or yell even ;)

12:20 pm

crosshair

yell even

12:20 pm

crosshair

snap fm

12:20 pm

rubyfoo

it is possible to buy them here all cooked and peeled and I think I could then add the feta and oil

12:21 pm

rubyfoo

you can hell at me crossy; I know you do it lovingly

12:21 pm

carleekat

oooh....yummm ruby..i will have to remember that

12:22 pm

Dorens

i do beets that way ruby, adding walnuts, and serving on greens. sometimes goat cheese instead of feta. delicious

12:22 pm

Sally-catlover

I make lovely borscht.

12:22 pm

my sister called and said I should stand up to the typeA bullies -- easy for her to say

12:22 pm

Dorens

bye fm. i'd like some cauliflower right now. go**, fresh vegetables cooked well are just so wonderful

12:22 pm

carleekat

oh...cold u imagine pralines instead of walnuts???? just lightly coated....hmmm...making the coating with maple???

12:22 pm

rubyfoo

I would love your recipe, sally

12:23 pm

well i see there is a lot of food talk. i have pork chops to cook tonight and lack inspiration.....any suggestions??

12:24 pm

rubyfoo

and the beets are pretty sweet by themselves

12:24 pm

Sally-catlover

Are you saying your son yells at you too?

12:24 pm

carleekat

pork chops i always marrinated in beer with BBQ sauce

12:25 pm

rubyfoo

for pork chops, I sprinkle them with ADOBO seasoning, fry onions in olive oil and butter, and then fry the pork chops. Then serve with rice, refried beans and avocado (if I have one)

12:25 pm

Dorens

easy delicious pork chops... trim fat, salt on both sides. then put a slice of onion, a slice of lemon, a dollop of catsup, a sprinkle of brown sugar. bake covered one hour, then uncover last hour

12:25 pm

rubyfoo

your recipe sounds better than mine, dorens.

12:25 pm

carleekat

as for the caulifower..i steamed it whole for 20 mins...then brushed with butter...and coated with a panko breadcrumb mixture that had parmasean, garlic, oregano and cayenne ...and baked for 15 mins until golden brown...the kids devoured it

12:25 pm

Dorens

no, uncover last Half hour...

12:25 pm

Dorens

oh yes. craving cauliflower now!

12:25 pm

rubyfoo

Sally, I seem to be a perpetual doormat for type a men -- my mother never taught me to express anger

12:26 pm

Dorens

don't know about better, but easier.. don't like to fry

12:26 pm

carleekat

my kids NEveR EAT THE STUFF...AND IT WAS ANNOUNCED "MOM...DO THAT ONE AGAIN"

12:26 pm

aknitter

well since i lack many of the other ingredients suggested .. I think Doren's recipe will be diner tonight LOL

12:26 pm

Sally-catlover

Not, not anger. Ice-cold calm and firmness is the best response. Just remember, a bully always needs a victim. You are NOT a victim.

12:26 pm

Dorens

bake some potatoes along side, there's two thirds of a good meal. green beans are nice with it

12:27 pm

rubyfoo

my husband detested cauliflower untiol I cooked it for him with garlic and olive oil. Actually, I think you could cook a bedroom slipper in garlic and olive oil and it would be delish

12:27 pm

Sally-catlover

lol ruby.

12:27 pm

Dorens

i like to roast cauliflower high heat, olive oil, cumin, mustard seed.. tastes so sweet when roasted

12:28 pm

rubyfoo

when it's just my husband, sally, I just walk away. With my son, I said that he was being too harsh and nasty (nosobdy was actually yelling; it just felt like it)

12:28 pm

Dorens

gotta run... a bientot

12:28 pm

Sally-catlover

He was a guest in your house for goodness sake!

12:28 pm

aknitter

and baked potatoes....the ultimate lazy side dish! great idea thank you

12:28 pm

rubyfoo

dorens, you sound like a great cook!

12:28 pm

Sally-catlover

No wonder you are exhausted. Doctor Sally prescribes a large drink, a good book and early night.

12:29 pm

rubyfoo

French potatoes are too waxy to be baked. They never seem to be cooked, just get harder and more waxy

12:29 pm

aknitter

french potatoes? they are different? would have thought a potato was a potato. hmmmm

12:30 pm

aknitter

do they have an accent ruby? well i suppose i would have the accent to you ;)

12:30 pm

rubyfoo

The good news is that I've started gathering written testimony from neighbors and they are wonderful. The statements are accompanied by a lot of religious talk, but anybody praying for me is a good thing!

12:30 pm

Sally-catlover

Must just go and shut hens up. Back in a bit.

12:30 pm

carleekat

cut up potatoes iin 1 inch chunks...coat in olive oil and salt and pepper and roast.....so simple and delish...no garlic on that one

12:31 pm

aknitter

shut up hens...sounds interesting

12:31 pm

aknitter

my mother would never let me tell the hens to shut up, i would have to say be quiet

12:31 pm

rubyfoo

evidently, there are a lot of different kinds of potatoes (who knew) and Idahos are the ones for baking and mashed and potato pancakes. French ones are good for frieds (first you soak them in ice water) and for potato salad

12:31 pm

4:43 pm

jmcnrick

hic

4:44 pm

Dorens

hah! there is a teacher in my school whose last name is oguss. what a strange word to find in the grid

4:44 pm

jmcnrick

what a strange name

4:45 pm

jmcnrick

so how is the new school year going dorens?

4:45 pm

Dorens

yes, it is. and she teaches autistic children, which is a very different area from most, as well

4:45 pm

Dorens

oh j, it is so hectic and crazy and i don't know what on earth they'd have done if i haddn't been there

4:45 pm

jmcnrick

and you are working two schools?

4:46 pm

Dorens

and the icing on the cake is a girl who just turned thirteen two weeks ago. I've known her since she was in third grade. I went to speak to her and she looked 6 - 7 months pregnant. I began discussing the weight gain with her in general terms, planning on laying the groundwork for more delicate conversation the next day

4:47 pm

jmcnrick

yikes!

4:47 pm

Dorens

but the next day her parents said she went to the hospital with stomach pains. well, you can guess the rest. but it is worse than we might think

4:47 pm

Dorens

i can only say that someone is in jail now. and yes, two schools

4:47 pm

jmcnrick

really?

4:47 pm

Dorens

really.

4:47 pm

jmcnrick

wow! what a story!

4:47 pm

jmcnrick

sad

4:48 pm

jmcnrick

too bad it wasn't found out sooner

4:48 pm

Dorens

mexican family, speak no english, two brothers in the house were raised in mexico and sent for when their father married this girl's mother. they spoke no english when they came. they are doing so much better now. the family will be so devastated. don't know how they will make it

4:49 pm

Dorens

it is one of the worst cases i've dealt with, really. still don't know the whole story, don't know if i ever will.

4:49 pm

jmcnrick

they will survive and that is the truth

4:50 pm

Dorens

DYFS is involved, but they don't always share info. I just want to know what they will do for her... talk is that mom will have to go to work now and the girl will have to stay home to care for the child. she is going on home instruction. i think this is not a good plan

4:51 pm

jmcnrick

is there no school there that takes mothers? we have several here with day care as part of the school

4:51 pm

jmcnrick

it is certainly not a good plan if daddy is out of jail again

4:51 pm

Dorens

she is only in 8th grade, not high school. some of the big cities have alternative middle school classes etc.

4:52 pm

Dorens

i think if daddy ever gets out of jail he will be deported.

4:52 pm

jmcnrick

we have a hs/middle school joined with day care

4:52 pm

Dorens

we are a small town tho. and i am trying to find out if there is anything in the county at all for her

4:52 pm

jmcnrick

Well i hope so!

4:52 pm

Dorens

is that dc, j?

4:53 pm

jmcnrick

yes dorens

4:53 pm

Dorens

that is our problem, we aren't a big city, far from it..

4:53 pm

jmcnrick

DC is not a big city it just looks like one

4:54 pm

Dorens

true... newark is far bigger. but still, it is a lot bigger than wanaque nj, with two small k -8 schools in the whole town - barely 1000 kids in all

4:55 pm

jmcnrick

true that

4:55 pm

Dorens

so what is the scoop on geneva? is this within the realm of possibility?

4:56 pm

jmcnrick

it is in the scope of possibility but not extremely likely

4:56 pm

Dorens

well, still exciting... is it a short term move or open-ended?

4:56 pm

jmcnrick

another possible job in phillie just opened up and it has even more travel than my current job

4:57 pm

jmcnrick

well it is a permanent position but my minds eye has 5 years

4:57 pm

Dorens

and do you like the travel part?

4:57 pm

jmcnrick

i love the travel part

4:58 pm

jmcnrick

but it rolled back here due to my mother's final illness and then the $$ thing and finally being gone a month to Kenya

4:58 pm

jmcnrick

nothing I like better than going to a new place and getting a couple of hours off to see what is there

4:59 pm

jmcnrick

except for speaking before a crowd of people who have not all heard my stories

4:59 pm

7:20 pm

crosshair

thats what i am waiting for,for him to try and move the pregnant gf in

7:21 pm

jacq

i think it means aside, or an aside a bit like the ag

7:21 pm

BettyAnne

Nef, I think it means transition.

7:21 pm

jacq

ohhhhhhhh don't let him crossy it becomes hellish and it's them against you and they use the baby every day

7:21 pm

Nef

Betty, your icon is beautiful! Where is that?>

7:21 pm

BettyAnne

Durango, Colorado.

7:22 pm

crosshair

yes,i hear the baby becomes a unstoppable weapon

7:22 pm

jacq

yes

7:22 pm

crosshair

would probably be better for the wife and i to sign the house over to them and move out ourselves lol

7:22 pm

jacq

even though i live with angie now they still use the baby and she's two past, but for two eayrs it was awful

7:23 pm

jacq

and the hardest part is watching them make mistakes and trying not to interfere

7:23 pm

crosshair

that would be me,trying to advise them

7:24 pm

jacq

yes and then when they fight, oh boy

7:24 pm

crosshair

yup,better to give them the house

7:24 pm

jacq

and baby is in the middle with you

7:24 pm

jacq

yup thats what i did

7:25 pm

crosshair

and move 3000 miles away right out to the west coast and get a small place on the ocean

7:25 pm

jacq

the housing people here told us the baby would be about 5 by the time they got a place and on his apprentice wages they couldn't afford to buy or rent privately

7:25 pm

Nef

That doesn't sound wise to me.

7:25 pm

jacq

well if you're going to move do it before the baby comes

7:25 pm

crosshair

i will definatly keep that in mind jacq

7:26 pm

jacq

7:26 pm

crosshair

jacq

it might, it also has a reg cleaner that cleans out old entries

7:29 pm

jacq

it comes with c.cleaner so don't download a seperate one

7:30 pm

jacq

i did my mums laptop with it tonight and took 3 gb of rubbish out of it

7:32 pm

Nef

DH has been complaining his pc is slow; is the c cleaner internal or something to download?

7:32 pm

jacq

go to filehippo

7:33 pm

jacq

it's top of their download list and it's free

7:33 pm

jacq

they also have a defraggler thats better than windows

7:33 pm

jacq

it's called defraggler in cse you thought that was a typo

7:34 pm

Nef

I'll try it later when I'm done Babbling then (I'm on my mac)

7:35 pm

crosshair

trust me everyone c cleaner in combination with disc clean and defrag and keeping track of your startup items with msconfig is all you need

7:35 pm

crosshair

7:45 pm

jacq

16 left here and still not too bad

7:46 pm

jillibus

This c.cleaner sounds interesting -- is it idiot-proof? I use Norton's scandisk every once in a while.

7:47 pm

MPittore

jilli yes I am that idiot..LOL... and I did two pc's in a lick and a flash!

7:47 pm

jillibus

really? fast? Scandisk takes hours.

7:48 pm

jacq

it is idiotproof, but a word of caution, it deletes everything, no recycle bin to rescue you

7:48 pm

jacq

jilli, it took 3gb of rubbish out of my mums laptop

7:48 pm

MPittore

yes...very fast...so easy! and if any question our friends will help..

7:49 pm

jacq

every single scrap of anything in temp files etc is gone and it makes a real difference

7:49 pm

jillibus

does one have to tell it what to do?

7:50 pm

jacq

you just choose to clean or analyse, if you analyse you still have to clean

7:50 pm

jacq

it can take a while first time you run it, but never more than 10 - 15 minutes

7:50 pm

jacq

it lists everything it got rid of, the type of file and size etc

7:51 pm

jacq

but after i use it i hvae to log in to babble again

7:51 pm

jillibus

hmmm, I'll try it. What does alayse entail?

7:51 pm

jacq

it just goes through it and tells you what it can delete and what space you will save

7:51 pm

crosshair

np mp,glad i could help

7:52 pm

jacq

you get the option then to select if i remember rightly, but i have never lost anything valuable yet

7:52 pm

jillibus

so nothing abstruse?

7:52 pm

jacq

i never analyse

7:52 pm

jacq

7:53 pm

crosshair

7:54 pm

jillibus

yes, crossy, good to know but although I just bought an external hard drove I haven't used it yet for backup becuse I'm too much of an idiot and people have me all confused about what to back up.

7:54 pm

jillibus

*drive

7:54 pm

jillibus

any reg talk scares me.

7:55 pm

jacq

this one is safe, you get the option to select

7:55 pm

crosshair

7:55 pm

jacq

7:56 pm

jillibus

I wouldn't know what to select. Can one of you come here and hold my hand please?

7:56 pm

crosshair

c cleaner is the perfect cleaner for the masses that the pc shops will not tell you about

7:56 pm

jillibus

Someone said that if you back up everything you get a whole lot of rubbish too.

7:57 pm

11:15 pm

that's good. This sounds like it's too much to handle right now

11:15 pm

The main problem with recruiting is most of my friends work and have kids...

11:16 pm

11:29 pm

rururocks

wishes I could give Jellen a big hug

11:29 pm

Nef

there are 7 stages of grief; some get mixed up together; some take a long time to get through

11:30 pm

rururocks

I don't know the 7 stages.. they seem to all hit me at once ..

11:30 pm

Jellen

We talked about the tangled ball of emotions at my group tonight...

11:30 pm

rururocks

friends are still staying in touch with you aren't they jellen?

11:31 pm

jmcnrick

yeah when people talk about the 7 stages it sounds like there is a progression but they actualy come and go kinda randomly

11:31 pm

Jellen

Yes, they are, ruru...though not so often...

11:31 pm

jmcnrick

11:32 pm

Nef

they are very random. Jellen, don't cut yourself off from your IRL friends

11:32 pm

jmcnrick

well people have a hard time knowing what to say as time goes on

11:32 pm

jmcnrick

they are afraid to talk about Tim and afraid not to

11:32 pm

Jellen

Oh, I won't, Nef...called two of them tonight...

11:32 pm

rururocks

I think people are afraid to say the wrong thing

11:34 pm

jmcnrick

i'll never forget the 90 yearold client who said "i know just how you feel. I am so sorry about your husbands' death"

11:34 pm

rururocks

The group is probably a healing thing.. that sounds useful jellen

11:34 pm

jmcnrick

then she called the next day to apologise

11:34 pm

Jellen

Yes, it's a good group...

11:35 pm

jmcnrick

she said -- i realized i didn't konw how you felt. my husband died at an old age after many years together

11:35 pm

Jellen

How perceptive of her, jmc...

11:35 pm

rururocks

how young was your husband when he passed jm?

she said i was presumtuous

11:35 pm

jmcnrick

40 ru

11:36 pm

Jellen

(((jmc)))

11:36 pm

jmcnrick

but the thing is no one knows what you feel and yet what you feel is completely universal

11:36 pm

rururocks

wow.. wow..wow...gosh you guys.. I can't imagine that

11:37 pm

jmcnrick

and i am here to tell you that it gets better with time

11:37 pm

Nef

My Grandma had a saying that puzzled me when I was young; but it makes sense now that I've lost some family. "The longer the coffin, the deeper the pain."

11:37 pm

I know it will...

11:37 pm

rururocks

I have had significant losses in my life.. but not a mate

11:38 pm

my best friends daughter just lost her baby ..just before coming to term.. I didn't have the right words.. it is so hard to step outside of yourself and say things that are meaningful and helpful

11:42 pm

jmcnrick

the thing is that most meaningful thing you can say is i am sorry and then listen to them

11:42 pm

Nef

the best words are "I'm sorry" and "I'm here if you need to talk or anything"

11:42 pm

jmcnrick

:-) see nef and i agree

11:42 pm

Nef

Yep :-)

11:42 pm

rururocks

11:42 pm

Jellen

jmcnrick

if it "just" happened; they need time. Up here it's a fairly common practice to just bring a hot meal over for the family every once in a while; we just drop it off and don't stay for supper.
