1:42 am

well.. my sister's guy had diabetes... and had gotten to the point where they were talking amputation
1:42 am

But I could stick it in my profile!
1:42 am

lol, m9 ;)
1:42 am
flosey

I'll look later
1:42 am
jillibus

good idea, melissa
1:42 am
m9f9l

and during a...what's that called.... dialasis!
1:42 am
m9f9l

he got a bad staph infection..
1:43 am
jillibus

dialysis
1:43 am
flosey

thanks Melissa, will look
1:43 am
m9f9l

so.. hospital stuff..it was just not pretty. At dialasis he'd see people with amputations. He figured once they start lopping off parts of you, they just keep lopping more..and he didn't want to go that way.
1:43 am
m9f9l

(thank you for the spelling)
1:43 am
flosey

oh m9, how awful
1:44 am
m9f9l

they'd always dreamed of going to the desert and panning for gold..
1:44 am
jillibus

poor guy!
1:44 am
m9f9l

so.. they sold the place, bought an rv and from my brother's wedding they drove off..
1:45 am
m9f9l

they were out in the hills (if you can call them that) near Winnamucca when he fell. And she couldn't get him back into the bed in the rv. and she knew he wasn't doing well..
1:45 am
m9f9l

and even though that's how he wanted to go.. it occurred to her..
1:45 am
m9f9l

it might not be so easy to explain..driving out of the desert with a dead guy.
1:46 am
m9f9l

so.. she piled pillows all around him and drove as carefully as she could into the town.
1:46 am
jillibus

omg!
1:46 am
m9f9l

she knew he didn't want to go to the hospital..
1:46 am
m9f9l

and she didn't know how to find hospice..
1:47 am
m9f9l

so she went to the store and asked if they knew where the LDS church was (she's an inactive member of the church..was baptized a while ago, but never really solid)
1:48 am
m9f9l

and the checker said.. "hey! We have someone here who goes to that church." Phone calls were made. Within minutes the bishop and the relief society pres were having a confab in the store parking lot..LOL
1:50 am
m9f9l

wait.. I have this out of order. she got medics first..
1:50 am
jillibus

and...?
1:50 am
m9f9l

but told them he didn't want to go to hospital.
1:51 am
m9f9l

and they actually got her a hotel room so she'd be more comfortable. Very nice people in Winnamucca.
1:51 am
m9f9l

then the store.
1:51 am
m9f9l

then the hospice lady came.
1:52 am
m9f9l

and he died. and the hospice lady was also the coriner or something.. and she kept the police part down to a minimum...
1:52 am
m9f9l

(cause someone dying in a hotel room usually causes a bit of a ruckus)
1:53 am
jillibus

My goodness!
1:53 am
westford

did all this happen recently m? how is your sister doing?
1:53 am
m9f9l

and she suggested the mortician from the next town over.. so he came. and then the Relief society president from the church said that they had an rv hookup in their yard and my sister was welcome to stay there
1:53 am
m9f9l

no.. it was 2 years ago.
1:54 am
melissamay

I posted a few links to my profile. Thanks for asking about that, flosey. I'll toodle off now so no pressure if you listen and go blech! Thanks again for your help -- and be well everyone.

1:54 am

we all slept on their trampoline. and we were able to go with my sis to pick up his ashes.
1:56 am
jillibus

Wow, m9!
1:57 am
m9f9l

coming out of the desert she had lost what we referred to as the "poop pipe" off her rv...
1:57 am
m9f9l

she kept talking about the place where they stayed at the end there.. and I could tell she needed some closure on that place of some sort.. so I suggested we go look for the poop pipe.
1:58 am
m9f9l

she was very happy about the idea of showing me the place. and then we were going to camp on the way back to the lovely couple's.
1:58 am
m9f9l

we found the site.. and collected some amazing quart rocks.
1:59 am
m9f9l

and we even found the poop pipe!
1:59 am
m9f9l

and then driving out...we got a flat.

I'm still at the nice stage where words are queuing up to be entered. The 'challenging' stage is where you scour the horizon for a single word to show up.

gm haz, friend is trying to fix washing machine....water everyplace!
3:10 am

both are nice stages

Hi Lynxx & Haz.

hi Soodle
3:10 am
Haz1558

Hello, ruby. Does the friend know what he/she is doing?
3:11 am
Haz1558

Hello, Soodle.
3:11 am
rubyfoo

at least he got the water out, which was a big improvement
3:12 am
rubyfoo

he is very handy; I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but I think it has to be replaced
3:14 am
Haz1558

I must tell you a story about a young vet. First day on the job he was sent to a farm, arrived there, was told he was late. He apologised, got his waterproofs on, asked what was the matter, was told 'something wrong at the back end'. He concluded he was going to see a calf with scour. He was conducted to the back door of the house to find a very cross wife with a washing machine in bits. He'd got the wrong house and didn't know who was more confused, him or the people who wondered why a washing machine repairman needed full waterproofs and welly boots..
3:15 am
rubyfoo

thank you for making me smile, haz, maybe I need a vet!
3:15 am
sprite

rofLOL!
3:16 am
Haz1558

Oh, the vet in this house knows his limitations! Hope you get it sorted, ruby.
3:16 am
sprite

that is beautiful story :D
I wouldn't even be surprised to see someone in waterproofs... I'd think it wise, working with washing machines...
3:18 am
Haz1558

And it being his first day, the waterproofs would have been nice and clean.
3:19 am
lynxxx

I want to ask how vets clean their waterproofs - I hope they throw them out.
3:20 am
sprite

true, that. Just finished reading the 2nd james herriot, All things bright and beautiful. Old times for vets, of course, but I bet doctoring fa4 animals is still a dirty job.
3:21 am
Haz1558

They're too expensive to throw out! They're washed down with hot water and disinfectant and then hung up to dry. Things like plastic sleeves are disposable, thank goodness. You're right, sprite, it is a very dirty job at times, more especially the large animal side of things.
3:22 am
sprite

dirty, but beautiful. A vet really makes a difference in the world.
3:24 am
lynxxx

BBS need to see if this pastry can be rolled out (think I overworked it), making asparagus quiche, well trying to anyway
3:24 am
Haz1558

It's like any other job in that there are moments of victory and satisfaction but lots of hard graft and boredom at times as well. We always say it's a lifestyle rather than just a job.
3:24 am
Haz1558

Asparagus quiche sounds good!
3:26 am
Haz1558

We should be speaking in rhyme in honour of all the verse-writing words.
3:27 am
sprite

I can imagine it is. I also realise it isn't always fun. But it is making a difference. To fa7 for th5 livelihood and to pet owners for th5 happiness. Lots of responsibilities.
3:27 am
sprite

thanks for those, Haz
3:28 am
Haz1558

You're welcome.
3:29 am
Haz1558

I've just realised that blissful ignorance sent me to the pb for all those agricultural words in the story!
3:30 am

lol yes. I bravely refrained from mentioning it
3:31 am
Haz1558

I'm grateful.

*grin* I know.

...... in motion, see her gentle sway-ay...
no wave out on the ocean could ever move that way...
3:35 am

you got me singing
3:39 am
Haz1558

Google's great. The song wasn't familiar but google knew it. 'Poetry in motion'.
3:39 am
sprite

hehehe wtg Haz. An old one... I used to be into rock 'n' roll as a teenager/twin. Still love songs like that.
3:40 am
Haz1558

I know, some with really catchy tunes and with an innocence to the lyrics.
3:41 am
sprite

I love every movement
there's nothing I would change
she doesn't need improvement
she's much too nice to rearrange...
3:41 am

exactly, that is it.
3:44 am
sprite

we had this old-style rock 'n' roll dance school, called Happy Days, where we went for a couple of years. Even won a first prize once. Loads of fun back then :)
3:44 am
Haz1558

And did you wear the big skirts and all the right clothes?
3:46 am
sprite

petticoats, yes :) We even shopped in secondhand shops for dresses and skirts from the 50s. I could make a really high bob from my hair.
3:46 am
Haz1558

I once witnessed people coming out of a rock and roll style wedding. They'd really gone to town with their costumes, had a cadillac etc, but the thing that really got us talking was the rumour outside the church that had the minister dressed up in a black leather jacket with Elvis style sideburns. It was only a rumour....
3:47 am
sprite

hehehe, I think in Vegas you can have that for real, not even a rumour.
3:48 am
Haz1558

I know - they really go to town, don't they?
3:49 am
sprite

yes, but from what I have seen it is business. Not much romance.
3:50 am
Haz1558

Yes, money makes Las Vegas go around.
3:51 am
sprite

we sometimes watch CSI Las Vegas and I told my kids who are the real winners in Vegas, every hour and every day... the banks.

If I disappear I am up in the hills. Ruby I had no machine for 6 months then mine spat out the bra boning and it worked
4:32 am
rubyfoo

friend came and got the water out but it still won't work; hopefully it's just the security catch on the door and can be fixed.
4:32 am
Sally-catlover

rofl herin.
4:32 am
rubyfoo

bra boning? from whales? hahah
4:32 am
herinfernallady

No.

It is a bit chilly but seems to rain when we are in
4:37 am
herinfernallady

The person that had the car previous to us was very rude and returned the car on empty. Not empty like 100ks left but flat empty it turns out. We put $10 in before it even went a bit above empty on the gauge
4:39 am
rubyfoo

4:46 am
Sally-catlover

Was your dad pleased with his surprise?
4:46 am
rubyfoo

no, never had the opportunity. Besides the UK and France, most of my travelling was to Japan, Belgium and SA for biz
4:46 am
rubyfoo

a little bit of the rest of Europe with first husband, but nothing exotic like Australia
4:47 am

how many people were present when the surprise happened?
4:47 am

TASMANIA is wonderful, been their twice and would lurve to relocate there

What is wrong Katie?
5:06 am
rubyfoo

kitty problems?
5:07 am
KatieMcG

we have a stray which is coming into the house, we have been feeding him in the garden. unfortunately our cats have taken in very badly and Ruby is now messingin the lounge. we have put out cat litter and are putting in a microchip activated cat flap so he can't come in anymore but we don't know what to do about the stray.
5:08 am
rubyfoo

I love that your cat is named Ruby. I think that Ruby and Max are the most common pet names
5:08 am
lynxxx

Do cats need to be registered with your council?
5:08 am
Sally-catlover

Try the cats protection league? They have been very helpful about strays. They will lend you a cage to catch the stray in.
5:08 am
Sally-catlover

Must dash for a bit, husband back from doctor.
5:08 am
KatieMcG

we are not sure he is a stray, and we don't just want to stop feeding him in case he is starved. we are thinking of catching him and scanning him at the vets to see if we can get a microchip reading and if not then rehoming him but it is how to catch him without stressing out the others
5:09 am
herinfernallady

Make sure that the cat you have is going to be rehomed with a non kill shelter if its mummy and daddy can't be found
5:09 am
KatieMcG

Sally - that is a fantastic idea! The microchip catflap is a God send as our's will not wear collars
5:09 am
KatieMcG

don't worry herin I will
5:10 am
KatieMcG

I am sick of having to clean up though. So far we have had to wash rug, curtains and clean the sofa 4 times

Happy sunny Friday all.
5:53 am
Haz1558

Yesterday I was on a sort of archaelogical dig. My sister-in-law has decided to have a room replastered. This involves getting the paper off and since her mother could never summon up the patience to strip off the old before putting on the new, we were taking off about 6 or 7 layers of wallpaper. Thank goodness for steamers.
5:53 am
Haz1558

Hello, FM.
5:53 am
Sally-catlover

Hi FM! A bit grey today, so you have our sun.
5:53 am
herinfernallady

wow.
5:53 am
herinfernallady

Hi FM
5:54 am
FMitch

Bet there were some interesting patterns revealed Haz and hello Sally and herin.
5:54 am
Sally-catlover

I have an archaeological dig when I tidy a room, usually when we have visitors coming.
5:54 am
FMitch

lol
5:55 am
Haz1558

If by interesting you mean hideous - then yes.
5:55 am
FMitch

I was being polite I admit.
5:56 am
herinfernallady

I like how someone I know framed the little bit of wallpapers from the house when they stripped it just for history purposes
5:56 am
Haz1558

And then when we got all the paper off, it revealed that at one time they thought bottle green paint on the bottom, a red stripe and mustard paint on top looked good.
5:56 am
Sally-catlover

oh yuk haz!
5:57 am
FMitch

Leave it like that long enough and the look will come back :)
5:57 am
Haz1558

I can only imagine that it was done to be servicable, but it wasn't great.
5:57 am
Sally-catlover

Reminds me of a house we lived in which had gold paper with red stars on the walls, and red paper with gold stars on the ceiling. And it had had some treatment over so you couldn't steam it off!!!
5:58 am
FMitch

Which room in the house was that in Sally?
5:58 am
Haz1558

Dear me! How did you get rid of it?
5:59 am
Sally-catlover

Sitting room. It was my parents' house.
5:59 am
Sally-catlover

Had to be removed very slowly - and very urgently!
5:59 am

My mum cooked a roast tonight. It was good. Problem was she got pork which I don't eat from the store she bought
6:02 am
lynxxx

goddess - YES - domestic - not so much
6:02 am
FMitch

That was a shame herin.
6:02 am
Haz1558

I'm more domestic than goddess.
6:02 am
herinfernallady

I cooked a steak instead. My poor mum forgets I have turned into a bit more of a conscious were I buy things eater.
6:03 am
Haz1558

I'd have been very cross, I must admit.
6:04 am
Sally-catlover

I am very brave these days at asking if the chicken is free range in a pub or restaurant.
6:04 am
FMitch

I really enjoy cooking but as to other domesticities - nah.
6:04 am
FMitch

According to the press Sally we should be asking if it Hallal or not, not that they would probably nkow.
6:05 am
lynxxx

I hope your boyfriend earned some brownie points and ate the roast pork Infernal?
6:05 am
herinfernallady

I am not domestically challenged I am lazy
6:05 am
herinfernallady

He eats everything Lynxx. He doesn't mind. I just think well be stuffed if I am supporting animal cruelty to eat it
6:06 am
herinfernallady

Hallal is fine but the slaughter has to not be cruel just blessed
6:06 am
lynxxx

I am sure your Mum will forgive you
6:06 am
herinfernallady

Yep she liked the fact I ate veggies
6:07 am
Sally-catlover

Don't think I would go that far FM. However, I did see some wonderful looking Scotch eggs in my local butchers (I adore Scotch eggs); they make those things on the premises (she says being careful to stay out of the pb) but when I asked, said they were farm eggs, not free range, so I didn't buy one.

Being careful hasn't been enough, Sally. (fa4)

herinfernallady

Is farm eggs caged eggs? Bit different class here
6:08 am
Sally-catlover

Farm eggs is not necessarily caged, but could be in a barn.
6:08 am
FMitch

I remember one domestic science class where we made Scotch eggs, they tasted so different to shop bought ones.
6:08 am
Sally-catlover

Oh bother!! She shouts faintly from the pb.
6:08 am
Haz1558

I had to laugh at jillibus' description of a menu she had 'fa4-picked potatoes' - what other kind are there?
6:08 am
Haz1558

Double stint for you, Sally.
6:09 am
Sally-catlover

Yes, I have made them and they are lovely. You must have been at my domestic science class.
6:09 am
lynxxx

what an odd expression Haz
6:09 am
herinfernallady

Machine picked. Maybe she meant hand picked. Not sure wasn't privy to conversation
6:09 am
Haz1558

I know - I thought it was peculiar.
6:09 am
Sally-catlover

The best eggs are the ones I have just collected myself from the nest box.
6:10 am
lynxxx

Did you wear a grecian tunic too Sally? (sorry couldn't resist)
6:10 am
FMitch

Yum, can't get any fresher than that Sally :)
6:10 am
Haz1558

I think a lot of restaurants are getting into fancy language to make things sound more appealing. Crushed potatoes, melon pearls, that sort of thing.
6:10 am
herinfernallady

I just get shirty with mum that has some of the best fruit and veggies and road side stalls in season and she still buys from Woolies. Drives me batty
6:10 am
Haz1558

OnlyFM is entitled to wear the Grecian tunic.
6:10 am
FMitch

*sigh* thanks so much friend lynxxx.
6:11 am
Haz1558

You know you're with friends, FM, when they bring up the old Grecian tunic.
6:11 am
Sally-catlover

Haven't got the legs for the Grecian tunic these days.
6:12 am
herinfernallady

But she thinks it is ok as it is Tassie grown bah
6:13 am
Sally-catlover

Besides I wouldn't want to compete with FM.
6:13 am
Haz1558

FM is in a league of her own, I know.
6:14 am
Sally-catlover

Haz, yoiu've forgotten "nestling on" and "jus" in your restaurant menu.
6:14 am
FMitch

LOL
6:14 am
Haz1558

Yes. Where did gravy go?
6:14 am
Sally-catlover

You get more if it's gravy.
6:15 am
FMitch

gravy is too common these days aparently, it has to be a jus or a reduction.
6:15 am
FMitch

and they can charge more for it.
6:15 am
Haz1558

What really kills me is when they try to be smart but get the spelling wrong - canopies anyone?
6:15 am
Sally-catlover

rofl! Have also seen quick lorraine :-)
6:15 am
lynxxx

no!
6:16 am
Haz1558

Do have some pavolva with your pavalova.
6:16 am
lynxxx

she was the sheila that dashed past
6:16 am
Sally-catlover

Yes, in a wine bar.
6:16 am
Sally-catlover

pavolva sounds like a rude part of the body.
6:16 am
herinfernallady

I have icecream
6:16 am
FMitch

LOL!
Oh gotta go for a bit, window cleaner is here. back shortly.
6:16 am
Haz1558

Yes! I've seen the canopies in a restaurant that should have known better.
6:17 am
Sally-catlover

Did you tell them?
6:17 am
lynxxx

house cleaner AND window cleaner!
6:17 am
Sally-catlover

Perhaps they are very large canapes (can't do accents in the chog) and you can shelter under them.
6:18 am
Haz1558

No, I should have told them at the end of the meal, shouldn't I?
6:18 am
Haz1558

She's one spoilt FM, lynxxx. No competition in the housewife stakes at all.
6:19 am
Haz1558

VI has a good way of getting her windows cleaned. She's taught her twins to abseil from the roof.
6:19 am
Sally-catlover

Well, she's bringing employment to them local peasants Haz.
6:19 am
lynxxx

lol
6:19 am
Haz1558

Sport and chores rolled into one.
6:20 am
Haz1558

I wonder if the window cleaner is tall, dark and handsome.
6:21 am
Sally-catlover

She obviously needs the house cleaner to tidy up before the window cleaner arrives and looks through the windows.
6:22 am
Haz1558

I know!
6:22 am
Sally-catlover

I'd be too embarrassed to have a cleaner, I would be exhausted before they started.
6:23 am
Sally-catlover

We had someone house sitting last year (friends) while we were away, and it killed me, having to clean out and re-arrange all the cupboards before we went!
6:23 am
Trifioso

hello friends.
6:24 am
Haz1558

Did you find anything interesting, though?
6:24 am
lynxxx

I'm off to a job interview on Monday. I'm kind of surprised I was rung up...they could easily add 1+1 and work out how old I am. Must be desperate! I have been sending off resumes if the jobs suited me - most of the time they aren't even acknowledged. God - if I get an offer I would really have to think about it!
6:24 am
Haz1558

Hello, Trif.
6:24 am
lynxxx

hi Trif
6:24 am
Haz1558

Oh, lynxxx. Would this affect babble? And Stew?
6:24 am
Trifioso

hello ladies. i love reading about cleaning for the house cleaner. I used to do that, back when I had a cleaner....
6:25 am
Haz1558

The only time I had a cleaner was when I was in halls of residence at university. Apparently I was very tidy compared to others, a fact which shook my mother to the core.
6:26 am
lynxxx

Only part-time Haz and they say hours are flexible. Stew doesn't mind sleeping on my bed for several hours and he keeps his legs crossed very well (like 13 hours one time!)
6:27 am
Haz1558

13 hours! I wonder if that's a world record? Spangle shows similar bladder control at Halloween when the fireworks are going off. Not a paw will she put over the door.
6:27 am
lynxxx

So this is why your standards are so high Haz...Your mother!
6:27 am
Trifioso

why do you have fireworks on halloween?
6:27 am
Sally-catlover

You mean you allow Spangle indoors at Halloween then Haz?
6:27 am
lynxxx

Fireworks and rain for Stew
6:28 am
Haz1558

Oh, my mother was incredibly houseproud - from a long line of women who loved to clean. I'm probably rubbish according to their standards.
6:28 am
Haz1558

Spangle is inside most of the time anyway, just goes out to her kennel at night.
6:28 am
Sally-catlover

I imagine Spangle with a permanently mournful face pressed to the window.
6:28 am
herinfernallady

awww
6:29 am
Trifioso

herin, I wish you and I lived closer....we would be the best of friends, wouldn't we?
6:29 am
lynxxx

lol Sally
6:29 am
Haz1558

No, she's just used to the routine. My daughter tried to keep her inside some nights when she was staying in the house on her own, but Spangle wanted out to her own bed.
6:29 am
herinfernallady

Yep Trifs.
6:29 am
herinfernallady

Yep Trifs.
6:30 am
Trifioso

I heart herin
6:30 am
herinfernallady

Back at you trifies
6:30 am
lynxxx

I got a word!
6:31 am
FMitch

Back and hello Trif.

Glad my domestic arrangements bring yuo hilarity :) BTW window cleaner has an incredible mullet. Thought that hairstyle went out decades ago.
6:31 am
Sally-catlover

That's the general idea lynxxx.
6:31 am
Trifioso

this made me think of you: http://kingrichardsfaire.net/
6:31 am
Trifioso

it's only about 20 minutes from here. God, girl, we would tear that place UP
6:31 am
Sally-catlover

Mullet? Thought that was a fish?
6:31 am
Trifioso

MULLET! LOLOLOL "business in the front, party in the back"
6:31 am
Haz1558

A mullet is a hairstyle with an identity crisis - short on top, long on the bottom.
6:32 am
Sally-catlover

Well you learn something new every day on Babble.
6:32 am
FMitch

and his is spikey on top and dyed too.
Google it Sally - you will have a laugh.
6:32 am
Sally-catlover

I confess, FM, we have a window cleaner and a gardener.
6:33 am
Trifioso

go outside and ask "Excuse me, have you seen 1985?"
6:33 am
herinfernallady

Trifs the final day is my birthday.
6:33 am
Trifioso

oh, now that is just PAINFUL herin!
6:33 am
herinfernallady

Mullet I heard that as a discription for a wedding dress the other day
6:33 am
FMitch

lol Trif
6:33 am
licketySplitAUS

Clues are up
6:34 am
Sally-catlover

Just googled, FM. lol, a chav hairstyle then.
6:34 am
Haz1558

But apart from the mullet, did he have any other redeeming features, FM?
6:34 am
herinfernallady

Thanks Lickety
6:34 am
lynxxx

hi Lickety - TY!
6:34 am
Trifioso

thank you and god bless, lickety
6:34 am
Trifioso

chav?
6:34 am
Haz1558

Who's going to describe a chav for Trif.
6:34 am
FMitch

He does the job welll and is always cheery.
6:35 am
herinfernallady

Trifs: Chav is sort of like um redneck but more fake class
6:35 am
Haz1558

In a non-judgemental, kindly fashion?
6:35 am
Trifioso

sorry for being american and all....
6:35 am
lynxxx

chav - it means a spiffy dresser doesn't it?
6:35 am
FMitch

go for it Haz ...
6:35 am
Haz1558

Doing the job well is the most important thing. And if he's cheery, all the better.
6:35 am
Trifioso

so, a person who thinks they are a higher class then they are, or pretends to be higher class?
6:35 am
Haz1558

Chav - fond of bling and labels.
6:36 am
Sally-catlover

A chav woman would often wear tight jeans and white high heels, lots of make-up and a bleached mullet hair style.
6:36 am
Trifioso

I dont see how a mullet would help to that aim
6:36 am
Sally-catlover

No, a chav doesn't pretend to be higher class.
6:36 am
FMitch

and don;'t forget the fake tan
6:36 am
Sally-catlover

Oh yes, the fake tan and lots of bling jewellery.
6:36 am
Haz1558

A chav aims to be noticeable but gets noticed for the wrong reasons, if you know what I mean.
6:37 am
herinfernallady

what I mean is instead of flannies and jeans they go for the fake adidas and burby
6:37 am
Trifioso

oh, okay. got it. I wonder what we call them? sounds like trailer trash maybe, or a jersey girl (new jersey, that is). In Boston, we would call them "Revere Chickens" in deference to a particular town, Revere, which seems to churn those ladies out like a factory
6:37 am
Sally-catlover

Often applied to people from Essex, but that won't mean anything to non-UK residents:-) And I apologise in advance to those from Essex.
6:37 am
FMitch

on the button herin.
6:38 am
Haz1558

Yes, but we have male chavs as well. All burberry baseball caps and pit bulls.
6:38 am
herinfernallady

O THink of like Sookie from Jersey Shore
6:38 am
Sally-catlover

Yes, and the males also have bling jewellery and fake tans.
6:38 am
herinfernallady

Gods you just made me think of Peter and Jordan
6:39 am
Trifioso

i must admit, whenever I am in new york city, secondo and I head for the "purse guy" right away - the one on the corner, selling knock-offs purses on a blanket. Totally trashy, but we loooooove it. We get such a kick out of it "Are there two D's in Prada?"
6:40 am
Trifioso

heartbreaking to think Jersey Shore has made to Oz. No wonder people hate Americans
6:40 am
Sally-catlover

I suppose I would say chavs have money but no taste.
6:40 am
herinfernallady

There was a girl on the train flashing her Versac bag. It was all open for the world to see. it was like she was saying See it is real except the lining was fabric and becoming detatched on the other side
6:41 am
Sally-catlover

Victoria Beckham will always be a chav, even with all her money. She can afford to buy the taste but somehow will always look chav (to me).
6:41 am
Trifioso

really, its just for fun, herin. for 20 bucks you get a nice fun bag that lasts for a while, and its all good.
6:42 am
Haz1558

Donatella Versace is probably the inspiration for many chav women.
6:42 am
herinfernallady

Trifs there is those that buy fakes and don't care and then there are those taht buy fakes and pretend that it is real.
6:42 am
Haz1558

Blonde, bronzed etc.
6:42 am
Trifioso

I don't understand donatella at ALL. how she can be a purveyor of fine fashion escapes me.
6:43 am
herinfernallady

I was taught when I did security how to tell the difference between fake Versace and Real
6:43 am
Trifioso

oh, TRUST me herin, we spend naught trying to pass them off as real
6:43 am
Trifioso

herin, do you get "modern family" in Oz?
6:44 am
Sally-catlover

I always assume that if people look at me, they will not see the tramp that I am but think I am some eccentric millionairess in disguise.
6:44 am
herinfernallady

Yes. But We get the other stuff like Jersy on pay tv
6:45 am
Haz1558

Okay, time for me to hang out the laundry and then pr5/12 Spangle's perpetually mournful face away from the window and take her for a walk.
6:45 am

you had me fooled, sally

6:46 am
Trifioso

ugh. trouble moving the vowels today....need more babble fiber, I guess
6:47 am
Patxxx

I'm a Victoria Beckham fan. She appears to have worked hard along the way but reporters don't like her. I think it makes their job easy, after a bad night just write a trashy column about VB and everyone will read it. I don't just believe what I read, I need more than that.
6:47 am
herinfernallady

Hi Patx.
6:47 am

I love that one of the online sales places had her jeans on sale. I would have bought if I was a stick creature

Hi Herin. I usually avoid chat because I will eventually start to enter words in the log. Hopeless!
6:49 am

I think she looks great and as for her husband - ! but she never looks as though she is having any fun
6:49 am
FMitch

Happens to us all at some point Patx
6:49 am
Trifioso

oh hey - before I forget - need a babble survey - how much would you expect to pay to have one skirt and four pair of pants hemmed? no linings, just regular hem jobs
6:49 am
lynxxx

$100
6:50 am
Trifioso

so that's 20 per hem them?
6:50 am
Trifioso

then?
6:50 am
Patxxx

It's almost impossible to find someone to alter or mend clothes here.
6:51 am
buslady

$30-35.......no more than $50.
6:51 am

Yep - if in a shop. You need to find someone working from home
6:51 am

For me it might be cheaper to ship them over for you to mend and still be in profit.
6:53 am
Trifioso

I think I will go with $50. five items, and I did them overnight, so that seems fair enough. not ridiculous, anyway, but worth my time.
6:53 am
herinfernallady

Trifs it depends if it is a plan hem like an A line skirt or a really annoying one like pleats
6:53 am
Patxxx

Got to go to shops and it's raining and I've just washed my hair, which will frizz!

Think you will find the explanation in the chog ruby. Someone with money but no taste, lots of fake tan, bling jewellery, very often tight jeans and high heeled white shoes (and that's just the men).

Hi all. I have a day off today and will be in and out.
9:03 am
EvaNadine

we were discussing the weather -- it has been so sporadic here. earlier in the week, we had highs of 60 and downpours. this weekend, its highs of 80 and bright sunshine.
i commented that i could deal with the chill, but since we are having an outdoor ceremony, i really NEED it to be dry (otherwise we have to move indoors, which neither of us wants to do.)
he commented that we would NOT be having it indoors, to which i replied, "hon, if its muddy outside, i will NOT be having my dress dragging on the ground."
9:03 am
EvaNadine

he actually said...
wait for it...



"so what? you will only wear that dress one day."
9:04 am
crosshair

....
9:04 am
EvaNadine

i glared, he went upstairs.
9:05 am
wht

Eva, My daughter's wedding was supposed to be outdoors but rain forced it inside but it didn't seem to bother anybody.
9:05 am
crosshair

if it is muddy tell him to carry you the the altar and have a platform there for you to stand on;)
9:06 am
Haz1558

(little cough as I point out that the we7 word is in the grid) And put an a in front for aw8.
9:06 am
wht

If it is muddy, it is not just a problem for the bride, but also for any of the guests who are wearing heels. They just sink in.
9:06 am
EvaNadine

im just pretending at this point that that whole conversation never occurred.
clearly MY fiance wouldnt be so stupid as to say something so dense.
9:06 am
EvaNadine

ahh, thanks haz.
off to the PB i go...
9:07 am
beachboggle

Hiya babble friends
9:07 am
Haz1558

But EvaN, to him it IS just a dress that is worn once. He doesn't get the sentimental/cost value of the gown.
9:07 am
crosshair

you must remember as guys,we love whats inside the package,we do not care if you show up in a 20,000 dollar dress or a potato sack,we only see you
9:07 am
Haz1558

Hello, beach.
9:07 am
EvaNadine

wht -- dear fiance has gotten into 2-year-old mentality as we are nearing the big day. everything is "i want!"
heh
9:08 am
wht

There was a tornado watch for the day of the wedding. It put the rain into perspective.
9:08 am
EvaNadine

it wasnt even so much the sentimental value of the dress -- my reaction was practical -- i wont be wearing a wet, muddy dress all night!
9:08 am
wht

Who would.
9:09 am
Haz1558

Well yes, there is that.
9:09 am
EvaNadine

i did get to see him try on his tux last night, and he looked SO HANDSOME!
i couldnt stop smiling. :)
9:09 am
crosshair

yup we do dress up well;0
9:10 am
Haz1558

My daughter's wedding is next August, but we7 here is so variable it would never occur to us to try to have an outdoor ceremony.
9:10 am
wht

Anyway, got a lot to do. I will be popping in and out all day. And thanks haz for the we7 and friends.
9:10 am
Haz1558

You're welcome, wht.
9:10 am
EvaNadine

i never wanted an outdoor ceremony for just that reason.
but this venue made me feel at-ease with how quickly they can move the whole shindig indoors.

im really hoping we dont have to do that, but it gives me comfort.
9:11 am
Haz1558

Yes, if they're used to Plan B, that makes it easier.
9:12 am
EvaNadine

i did have to calm him down a bit last night, though.
a groomsman made a comment that shouldnt have been such a big deal, but being that it is only 2 weeks to W-day, he should have known that emotions are running high...
one person says something thoughtless and stupid, and i spend the rest of the evening calming him...
9:13 am
Haz1558

Did the groomsman know the effect he'd had?
9:13 am
crosshair

well these big do,s with a long build up get everyone that way ad it draws nigh
9:15 am
EvaNadine

im not sure. chris tried to behave and not react (or over-react, at least). but i have half a mind to say something. we were trying to save the guys some potential drama and a decent chunk of money, and the guy actually told chris that what he was being asked to do was "inconvenient" -- driving to a store location 10 minutes away instead of the one closest to his house.
9:15 am
SeaSpray

good morning everyone
9:15 am
EvaNadine

i told chris "if he wants to potentially get the wrong tux and pay $50+ more for it, thats his buisness."
9:15 am

Haz1558

Hello, SeaSpray.
9:17 am
SeaSpray

Outside wedding was beautiful and weather was perfect Eva...yours will be too!
9:17 am
EvaNadine

there were 2 things going on.
(1) the guy at our shop basically said "avoid shops A and B because the people who work there regularly order the wrong items"
(2) if our groomsmen pick up their tuxes at this particular shop, the guy will override the price in the system and give them a $50 discount.

silly me for thinking a 10-minute drive would be worth knowing youve got the right tux AND an extra $50 in your pocket!
9:17 am
EvaNadine

very happy to hear, sea. yay!
9:18 am
crosshair

deep breaths eva....
9:18 am
EvaNadine

im annoyed, but mostly ok.
chris was rather fuming, though.
9:19 am

i just dont want to hear the word "inconvenient" for the next 2 weeks. :)

Something there is in beauty
which grows in the soul of the beholder
like a flower:
fragile--
for many are the blights
which may waste
the beauty
or the beholder--
and imperishable--
for the beauty may die,
or the beholder may die,
or the world may die,
but the soul in which the flower grows
survives.

well mac a cheese has lots of protein and calcium
3:52 pm

as a woman you need calcium
3:53 pm
jmcnrick

sounds so good i may go home and make some for myself
3:53 pm
jmcnrick

but I always add a can of tomatoes to my mac and cheese
3:53 pm
redturtlehead

thank you jmc. I think that helps. I did just force myself to eat a summer squash. raw. it was not that tasty.
3:54 pm
redturtlehead

I have about 15 pounds to lose, but, I just can not do anymore fish today.or chicken...
3:54 pm
redturtlehead

thinking of putting bacon in mine!
3:54 pm
jmcnrick

well i know george is big into raw but summer squash cooked with a little water and some nutmeg (freshly grated of course) is heaven
3:55 pm
jmcnrick

a little bacon is fine the trick is not to eat too big a portion
3:55 pm
redturtlehead

cooked, it would have been nicer, and raw usually it has a sweetish flavor, may be because its end of summer? little bitter.
3:55 pm
jmcnrick

there was an interesting report of a college prof who lost 20 lbs eating junk food -- and i mean real junk food like twinkies -- because he watched the caloric intake
3:56 pm
redturtlehead

you can lose weight on any calorie restriction, but your body will not perform well on twinkies..
3:56 pm
jmcnrick

he said his point was that losing weight alone is not the issue but eating healthily is
3:56 pm
jmcnrick

exactly red
3:57 pm
jmcnrick

i prefer my squash cooked but if I am worried about calories i use water instead of butter or oil
3:57 pm
jmcnrick

help with the first pe please
3:58 pm
redturtlehead

I slice up the squash and put it in a bowl like chips and then veg out (literally) in front of the tv...
3:58 pm
redturtlehead

the first pe I have is the babbler.
3:59 pm
jmcnrick

hmm seems to be a 5/12 and 6/21 before her

He came home from work in a bad mood and after packing the car and getting the kids ready to go to New Hampshire for the long weekend tonight, he announced that he isn't up for the drive and we aren't going until tomorrow morning. I'm so mad at him. Now he's lying down resting and the girls are both whining and crying and fussing because they thought they were going to see their grandparents tonight.

i honestly tried my best to watch a few game of soccor this year,i really did,but when the first place team and the last place team can play a game and it is tied 1-1,i find more action watching the fans kill each other and tear up the seats lol

i have been woken at 2 am with drunken plebes in philly during army/navy weekend-- does that count?
8:33 pm
lbdawger

8:33 pm
lawyer-1

When I lived in Toronto, I could not have a conversation with anyone from September to May unless I spoke hockey.
8:34 pm

9:56 pm
nrkii

I will be extremely subtle
9:56 pm
Pinikula

add a hook to the po7
9:56 pm
jmcnrick

it is an extra letter on the po7 that makes it a person
9:56 pm
Pinikula

(that probably wasn't a very subtle clue for diane) ;]
9:56 pm
jmcnrick

opposite of another word inthe grid pini
9:56 pm
lbdawger

diane, make the 7 into one who does.

oops mine was for the A
9:58 pm
Pinikula

9:58 pm
nrkii

okay... we're ready
9:58 pm
dianedecoder

10:07 pm

it's always a challenge when you ask for obscure clues
