J. C.

Hmmm, PAV? Is my own photo still showing - because it shouldn't be?

12:54 am

westford

it's hard writing something all the nuances are not there

There should be a photo of one of my ancestors there instead, now...

12:55 am

PAV3

12:55 am

m9f9l

I see you here in the chog. but if I click on you I see your grandfather J.C.

I thought so, JC. The photo was emailed to me by a cousin in england -- grandson of that second wife.

1:20 am

J. C.

Same here, m9 - just now.

1:21 am

J. C.

Ah yes, I see...

1:22 am

jillibus

I'd seen your granddad in your Who Do You Think You are...

1:23 am

J. C.

Yes. We supplied several photos of him for that.

1:24 am

jillibus

Imagine being in both wars!

1:24 am

Yes. I'm sure one was more than bad enough. :(

1:28 am

J. C.

I was actually born at home in my parent's flat, with only a midwife attending.

1:29 am

m9f9l

cool J.C! all of my children were born at home

1:29 am

jillibus

where was that, JC?

1:29 am

westford

that's getting to be more and more common

1:29 am

J. C.

In London...

1:30 am

J. C.

Yes. It used to be, then wasn't for some time.

1:30 am

J. C.

Now in vogue again. :P

1:30 am

m9f9l

yes. this last one I didn't get as much guff as I did 22 years ago.LOL

1:30 am

J. C.

Ah, I see.

1:30 am

m9f9l

my dad was premature in a house in 1910. He was what he called a "shoe box baby" 3 lbs..

1:30 am

J. C.

My mum hated hospitals - can't blame her.

1:31 am

m9f9l

good for her!

1:31 am

J. C.

Wow, m9 - amazing he survived, back then!

1:31 am

westford

one of my mother's brothers was kept in a box in the oven he was premature too

1:31 am

m9f9l

1:31 am

J. C.

In the oven?!

1:32 am

m9f9l

1:32 am

frogtaco

flosey

that's what they did with an old friend from the east coast, he was a premie, but grew to about 6' 3 or 4"

1:33 am

jillibus

Home birth of my son would have been difficult for me -- was sort of homeless -- parents in Shanghai, aunts in NY, m-in-law away at the summer place, staying in her house in Montreal, hubby having been transferred to Toronto so planning the move there
...

1:33 am

m9f9l

my poor hubby has to do a lot of work too.. the first three were all back labor..

Got to love finding out who got the job over me

herinfernallady

Yep.

1:51 am

rubyfoo

1:51 am

herinfernallady

1:51 am

westford

no way !!

1:51 am

herinfernallady

Yep

1:52 am

westford

something tells me she's going to blow it

1:54 am

herinfernallady

(someone (ok it was me) said that she blew someone to get the job)

1:54 am

westford

you might be right lol

1:55 am

rubyfoo

that's what I was thinking, too. Bad Ruby

1:56 am

herinfernallady

just makes me cry

1:56 am

westford

1:56 am

rubyfoo

if that's what she did to get the job, she won't be able to keep it

1:57 am

westford

you know you're better than she is

1:58 am

herinfernallady

I said it in jest. This girl has 0 intelligence is always late and can't get her shit together

1:58 am

jillibus

miner #5 on his way up -- the 18-yr-old

rubyfoo

westford

2:03 am

rubyfoo

2:03 am

westford

these hiccups keep lasting too long

2:03 am

herinfernallady

M9 I really shouldn't ahve clicked on your icon shudder

2:04 am

herinfernallady

Actually I have kitty therapy.

2:04 am

m9f9l

herinfernallady

westford

9 is plural

2:11 am

herinfernallady

2:11 am

westford

sounds like a broken down old shack without the di

2:12 am

Christine

Wow, it took that time -- thanks for the hints.

2:13 am

herinfernallady

Well that is kind of weird can't get it

2:14 am

rubyfoo

I don't get the broken down shack

2:14 am

westford

if he sits down he makes a la*

2:15 am

2:18 am

westford

can't get it flosey

2:18 am

flosey

ok, will keep monkeying!

2:19 am

lynxxx

Stoning is practiced in Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Nigeria, and Iran - and that is just nowadays. Historically lots of countries and religions as you would all be aware

2:19 am

Christine

Hmmm, looking online for a photo of an "illustrious" ancestor, came across a woman in Queensland looking for information on the same man -- I may've found a new cousin.

2:20 am

westford

lyn all I can think of is that Bob Dylan song

2:20 am

westford

Christine that's pretty cool..you need to find someone closer

2:22 am

Christine

Someone from my Dad's family went to Australia in the late 1800s (and some later)) and from my Mum's family, a cricketer played in the first England -Australia game, so ...

2:22 am

westford

flosey, dee said the pe was from the left corner p

2:22 am

flosey

thanks west, it's my last word, still monkeying

2:22 am

2:27 am

lynxxx

2:27 am

flosey

2:27 am

herinfernallady

HTanks

2:27 am

rubyfoo

but a foot massage would be lovely!

2:27 am

herinfernallady

I feel the need to go and torment the Sims game

2:27 am

flosey

2:28 am

lynxxx

2:29 am

westford

I have a feeling you took several

2:29 am

herinfernallady

Sims 3 Ruby

2:29 am

herinfernallady

I feel the need for designing houses

2:29 am

Christine

That's on my listof things-to-do, for tomorrow - pedicure, foot massage and lunch out, before the eleven books waiting at the library.

2:30 am

westford

nice day you have planned Christine

2:30 am

lynxxx

nice plan Christine

2:30 am

rubyfoo

2:30 am

rubyfoo

2:30 am

rubyfoo

*poof*

2:30 am

westford

2:39 am

Christine

Bye, rubyfoo.

2:39 am

herinfernallady

Byebye

2:40 am

westford

bye herin happy designing

2:58 am

lynxxx

BBL nice grid

2:58 am

westford

bye lyn just puttering

2:59 am

Christine

I looked-up the definition of la8, and one of the paid ads on the page was for help if your the victim of harassment - extremely so, I'd say.

2:59 am

westford

no kidding

2:59 am

Christine

*you're, of course

3:27 am

rubyfoo

back for a minute

3:27 am

westford

hi again ruby

3:28 am

rubyfoo

waiting for poor husband to come back with groceries

3:28 am

rubyfoo

121 words so far; this is a nice grid

3:28 am

westford

is his back any better?

3:29 am

rubyfoo

no, it's worse, and he insists on carrying stuff, won't let me take over any of his chores

3:29 am

westford

it is nice I'm just picking them out..getting some non words too lol

3:29 am

rubyfoo

he is very stubborn and refuses help -- only complains in front of me, not in front of his doctor or nurse

3:29 am

rubyfoo

how many do you have

3:29 am

westford

typical man

3:30 am

westford

I have 149 so far

3:30 am

rubyfoo

I'm afraid that he won't get better without taking it easier

3:30 am

rubyfoo

the bites, however, are pretty much healed

3:31 am

westford

that is really amazing especially without skin grafts

3:31 am

westford

what's news of the dog?

3:31 am

rubyfoo

and he has a flat scar, rather than concave as I feared

3:32 am

rubyfoo

he seems to be elsewhere as they keep their gate open

3:32 am

westford

he must be in pretty good shape then

3:32 am

westford

far far away I hope

3:32 am

rubyfoo

but he is 85 and feels his age (ears, eyes, and now back) and is very depressed

3:33 am

westford

that's right I was thinking he was 80

3:33 am

rubyfoo

court date is the 5th of Nov, so we'll see what happens with the dog then. I am more concerned, at this point, with our expenses AND damages. I think the neighbors will take care of the dog.

3:34 am

westford

not the owners

3:34 am

westford

I can't imagine why the dog wasn't put down

3:35 am

rubyfoo

as far as the petition goes. I'm afraid if I make too big a deal about killing the dog, the damages will not be addressed adequately

3:35 am

rubyfoo

stupid laws here. The people are required to muzzle it, keep it on a short leash, keep it in a kennel, etc., but who, actually, is going to enforce that?

3:36 am

westford

and who will be at fault if the dog bites a child

3:37 am

westford

did your husband enjoy your son and his wife's visit?

3:39 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all.

3:40 am

westford

hello Haz

3:40 am

Haz1558

ruby must have gone awol.

3:41 am

westford

she buries herself in the grid I think

3:41 am

Haz1558

Either that or the dog sits on top of her and she can't reach the keyboard.

3:42 am

westford

lol

3:43 am

westford

Haz, have you been following the progress of the mine rescue in Chile?

3:43 am

dizgrannie

Hi all!! again, 50 left and stalling rapidly

3:43 am

westford

hello diz

3:43 am

Haz1558

I've not been watching the live news, obviously following it in general and glad that their initial estimation of how long it would take was pessimistic.

3:44 am

Haz1558

Hello, dizgrannie.

3:44 am

westford

seems so I was watching it on the computer but it slowed things down

3:45 am

Haz1558

I can't imagine what life must have been like for them down there. I hope they're given enough time to come to terms with the whole experience.

3:46 am

westford

they're talking books and movies

3:46 am

dizgrannie

its great that those guys are being rescued,but (haven't watched all) I thought the weakest would have been brought out first????

3:47 am

westford

for some reason they said the weakest would come up last

3:47 am

Christine

I reaad yesterday that they and their families are being taken off, somewhere that they can regroup. And a Chilean millionaire gave $10,000 to each miner - but those that were not trapped are complaining they lost out, because they've not worked since the collapse.

3:47 am

Haz1558

I suppose it's inevitable, westford.

3:48 am

Haz1558

Was the idea that the strongest would come out first to make sure that the equipment worked correctly and to give detailed feedback on what the ascent will entail?

3:48 am

westford

oh dear Christine sour grapes

3:48 am

Christine

The four strongest were to go fidst, so that if there was a problem, they'd be better able to handle the disappointment, and could put on a brave face for the others. Then the weakest would come up.

3:49 am

westford

Yes, Haz that and the 'techiest' were the first to come up.

3:49 am

Christine

Unimaginable, to be there afor so long.

3:49 am

Dachef

the second guy up was apparently very p'o'd cos someone reminded him that he'd forgotten to clock in when his shift started.

3:49 am

dizgrannie

thanx for that info Haz, seems like a good idea, so if anything went wrong they might be able to cope....

3:49 am

westford

too funny dach

3:49 am

Christine

OMGosh !! he won't get paid fpor that shift?

3:49 am

Haz1558

Oh, Dachef! Overtime and everything and time and a half for public holidays.

3:50 am

Christine

Time for a cuppa

3:50 am

dizgrannie

I laughed about the guy with wife AND mistress there to greet him...hehehe

3:50 am

westford

I wonder how many will be back working in the mines.

3:50 am

westford

that's right I'd forgotten about that diz

3:51 am

westford

he'll be the last one up lol

3:51 am

westford

I thought it was sweet that they all wanted shampoo and shoe polish.

3:52 am

Haz1558

I wonder how long it will be before they start to bore people with their stories. 'When I was trapped underground'.... a former dog warden here managed to get his experiences in Burma into every conversation. 'You think it's raining hard? When I was in Burma....'

3:52 am

Haz1558

It'll be 'you think this is dark? When I was trapped underground...'

3:53 am

westford

He sounds like our ex brother-in-law. He always prefaced with 'That's nothing...".

3:54 am

westford

They have all been very fortunate.

3:54 am

Haz1558

I know the type, westford. You're nearly inclined to make up ever more extravagent claims just to hear them top them.

3:55 am

westford

The coverage from the Washington Post has been extraordinary. Cameras everywhere. If only I'd paid more attention to Spanish.

3:57 am

dizgrannie

you did that, well I did one better....know a lot of peeps like that, one used to regale us with his escapades in Vietnam...proved later he was never there.....really sad when they have to makeup a life to think they would fit in...

3:57 am

Haz1558

I suppose every now and again a story comes along that has all the elements of a good adventure novel but it just happens to be real.

3:57 am

Christine

I imagine the man with the wife and mistress spent a lot of time exercising while he was down there, so he can run faaaast, away from his wimmen.

3:58 am

westford

oh diz seems lots of our politicians are being caught out lately

3:58 am

Dachef

Some members of the Catholic Church were today thrown into panic when a typo in one newspaper reported that 'minors freed from underground prison'.

3:58 am

dizgrannie

LOL Christine

3:59 am

westford

yes Christine I'd like to imagine the women have become good friends

3:59 am

Christine

Haz, that's why these "survivor" shows are so annoying - there are real survivors out there, who don't have cameras on them

3:59 am

dizgrannie

and LOL Dachef...that would be a worry for them

3:59 am

westford

Dach were they panicking because the 'minors' got out?

4:00 am

Haz1558

And there was the case of the 9/11 faker as well, she was eventually caught out.

4:00 am

dizgrannie

Christine, never watch reality shows, seen too much in real life, so know what your saying

4:01 am

dizgrannie

what happened there, Haz??

4:01 am

westford

So many sad people out there.

4:03 am

Haz1558

A woman claimed that she had lost her fiance who worked in one of the Twin Towers and that she herself had escaped from a high floor on the other tower. She was to the forefront of a victims support group and gained great prominence until it was discovered that she hadn't even been in New York on the day.

4:03 am

westford

unbelievable

4:04 am

Haz1558

Her name was Tania Head - actually a Spanish woman who did have burn scars etc but who made the whole thing up.

4:04 am

westford

might have been self inflicted

4:05 am

Haz1558

They think she received the scars from some sort of incident years before, but certainly not in the way that she claimed.

4:05 am

westford

I wonder if she was related to Scrab's old boss.

4:06 am

dizgrannie

what a biatch....sorry for swearing.

4:07 am

westford

So sorry for all those who did die or were injured and for their families to have someone like that in their midst.

4:08 am

Haz1558

It was amazing that she got away with it for so long, but she became president of the survivors' self-help group and everything.

4:08 am

westford

that's terrible

4:08 am

westford

I wonder if she's somewhere in a mental hospital now.

4:09 am

Haz1558

Once her story began to unravel she disappeared, possibly back to Spain but I don't know if her whereabouts are known for sure.

4:10 am

Haz1558

She may well emerge triumphant from that mine in Chile....

4:10 am

westford

Ha ! There will soon be an empty mine shaft.

4:10 am

westford

we think alike lol

4:10 am

Haz1558

Watch out for a short, blonde woman.

4:11 am

westford

not that it's anything like that story but have any of you heard of Rosie Ruiz?

4:11 am

Haz1558

No, I don't think I have.

4:11 am

westford

Won a marathon and then they found out she rode the subway for most of the 26 miles

4:12 am

Haz1558

That's my kind of marathon!

4:12 am

lynxxx

very funny!

4:12 am

lynxxx

Hello again. Morning Haz

4:12 am

westford

Yes. Maybe they weren't specific.

4:12 am

Christine

Hey, I'm short/blonde - well blond-ish, though more ish than blonde, these days.

4:12 am

Haz1558

Hello, lynxxx.

4:13 am

Haz1558

I'm short and blonde as well, but you'll not get me down a mine!

4:13 am

westford

Do you speak Spanish Christine? lol

4:14 am

Christine

Only restaurant spanish = deos equis por favor.

4:14 am

Christine

my computer can't spell in Spanish.

4:15 am

westford

So many political ads now. I wish they'd all have to take a truth pill.

4:15 am

westford

we all know that one Christine.

4:15 am

lynxxx

West or Christine - have you heard of these people. Glamorous Fabrics. Sell ends of upholstery fabrics, seem extremely cheap. I am trying to see if they will ship to Aust. http://www.glamorousfabrics.com/index.
php

4:16 am

westford

I haven't heard of them but I'll check it out.

4:16 am

lynxxx

I don't - what does it mean?

4:16 am

Haz1558

Is Stewart demanding a glamorous bed?

4:16 am

westford

what are you planning to cover?

4:17 am

westford

dos equis is beer

4:17 am

Christine

I don't know them, dear - I buy only quilting fabrics.

4:17 am

lynxxx

He already has them Haz. A couple of chairs maybe or else a couple of ottomans

4:17 am

Haz1558

Nothing too sequinned, though, he might not find it comfortable.

4:18 am

westford

we had a sub in German once and the only thing he knew was Geben sie mir ein bier bitte.

4:18 am

Haz1558

Is this Plan B, lynxxx, in case the job in the furniture place doesn't happen? Plan A, staff discount, Plan B, glamorous fabrics.

4:19 am

lynxxx

fake suede and sheepskin for Stewart, I resisted fake leopard skin thought it looked a bit feminine

4:19 am

Jayk

Morning all. I'm in the middle of major slipcovering, myself, as we speak. I think fabric.com ships everywhere

4:19 am

Haz1558

No, I don't see Stewie with leopardskin at all.

4:19 am

lynxxx

sort of - the chairs are still OK so thought I would get those reupholstered

4:19 am

rubyfoo

rosie ruiz!

4:19 am

westford

the site says now accepting international orders lyn

4:20 am

Haz1558

Hello, Jayk.

4:20 am

westford

you heard of her ruby?

4:20 am

rubyfoo

hello jayk

4:20 am

lynxxx

Thanks Jayk

4:20 am

westford

hi jayk

4:20 am

rubyfoo

I was in NY at the time! I always thought the story was a riot

4:21 am

rubyfoo

she probably dumped water on herself to look sweaty at the end

4:21 am

lynxxx

I know but usually International means Canada and Hawaii to the US

4:21 am

westford

so did I ruby she had cajones

4:21 am

Christine

But the shipping costs, for upholdtery weight fabrics will be exhorbitant. I once (only once) ordered fabric from England and the shipping blew me away.

4:22 am

rubyfoo

and, I think, a sense of humor

4:22 am

westford

shipping is outrageous that's for sure

4:22 am

lynxxx

I'll bear that in mind Christine, thanks.

4:22 am

herinfernallady

Hi. Lynxx if you are looking for cheap and good fabric try Brunswich

4:23 am

rubyfoo

when you ship into France, they not only charge shipping, but about 20% tax including tax on the shipping cost!

4:23 am

westford

when I send parcels to my friend in England it does cost less to go by boat

4:23 am

rubyfoo

just requires long-range planning

4:23 am

westford

takes forever though

4:23 am

Haz1558

Note, lynxxx, that I am unable to offer any help whatsoever.

4:24 am

westford

I greatly admire anyone who upholsters.

4:24 am

Haz1558

I admire anyone who can pick up a needle without breaking out in a sw5/18.

4:24 am

lynxxx

Not travelling to the colonies via US just for me Haz?

4:25 am

rubyfoo

ty for sw5, haz, I didn't see it

4:25 am

Haz1558

Oh, I suppose I could carry the stuff for you, it's what needs to be done afterwards that would have me in a tizz.

4:25 am

lynxxx

BBS just having dinner

4:25 am

rubyfoo

I used to make all my own clothes, now can't even thread a needle with a threader

4:26 am

Haz1558

Bye, lynxxx, enjoy dinner.

4:26 am

rubyfoo

are you having something wonderful, lynx?

4:26 am

westford

we'll figure it all out while you're away lyn

4:29 am

rubyfoo

does everybody have the rutabaga word?

4:29 am

rubyfoo

uh oh, stomping -- Ruby's time is up

4:30 am

Haz1558

(Switching on the universal translator for rutabaga)

4:30 am

rubyfoo

it looks like a proper noun and I don't know if it's used out of the US as it's slang

4:30 am

rubyfoo

(other sw5)

4:30 am

Haz1558

Yes, had it but didn't know it. sw5/20 - a turnip like vegetable.

4:31 am

rubyfoo

and delicious mashed with butter

4:31 am

rubyfoo

hard to find in France. Do they have them in the UK?

4:32 am

rubyfoo

*poof*

4:32 am

Haz1558

Yes, we do.

4:33 am

westford

I wish I had some right now even though I've never heard of it.

4:33 am

Haz1558

It's like a pale version of turnip.

4:34 am

westford

love turnips

4:34 am

westford

can only get them around Thanksgiving

4:34 am

Haz1558

The only thing I don't like about turnip is the cooking smell.

4:35 am

westford

yes the kitchen does have to be aired out

4:36 am

Haz1558

I used to sw5/20 chunks of it when it was raw to eat. My mother had to have extra rations of vegetables to compensate for the amount that was eaten raw before it could get into the pot.

4:37 am

FMitch

By coincidence I bought a sw5 yesterday along with other root veg to make soup this week.

Greetings all.

4:37 am

Haz1558

Hello, FM!

4:38 am

FMitch

Morning Haz, how is Ballymena today? T'is rather chill and grey here - perfect soup weather.

4:38 am

Haz1558

You've just described the weather here as well.

4:38 am

FMitch

ah well :(

4:39 am

westford

hello FM

4:39 am

Haz1558

I'm soon going to have to reconcile myself to winter clothes. Boring.

4:39 am

westford

I was just googling and can't find the sw. Does it rhyme with anything.

4:40 am

Haz1558

The vegetable? It's a description of a Nordic person, not a Dane.

4:40 am

FMitch

My vegies were a bargain turnip, parsnip, carrots, couple of onions all for 75p not bad for about 8 meals worth of soup.

Hi westie.

4:40 am

westford

good soup !!

4:40 am

Haz1558

Do you put barley etc in your soup, FM?

4:40 am

FMitch

will add some pearl barley and lentils to some of it.

4:40 am

westford

ah thanks Haz

4:41 am

Haz1558

I really love the pulses in soup, just for extra oomph.

4:41 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, westford.

4:42 am

westford

what kind of broth do you begin with FM?

4:42 am

FMitch

How is the grid shaping up today, won't be able to start until later.

4:43 am

westford

it's friendly

4:43 am

Haz1558

That's another difference in the language between US and Britain. For us, broth is the finished product, having started off with stock.

4:43 am

Haz1558

It's a nice grid so far, FM.

4:43 am

FMitch

just water westie as all the goodness of the veg makes a wonderful stock in itself.

4:44 am

westford

we start with stock too I misspoke

4:44 am

Sally-catlover

Good morning everyone. Glad to hear the grid is friendly, because I have slightly limited time this morning!

4:44 am

lynxxx

Back. Must add that if you all think I am doing the actual re-upholstery, you are all mistaken

4:44 am

westford

that's a relief lyn lol

4:44 am

westford

hi sally

4:44 am

FMitch

lol lynxxx and morning Sally.

4:44 am

lynxxx

sw*** is slang? It's the only word I know for it too

4:44 am

Haz1558

But lynxxx, that would put you so far ahead in the perfect wife stakes - sandyloo wouldn't have a hope of catching up.

4:44 am

Haz1558

Hello, Sally.

4:45 am

FMitch

maybe that is why we haven't seen her around for a while - she is honing her skills.

4:45 am

Haz1558

I wouldn't put it past her.

4:46 am

Haz1558

You need to up your game, lynxxx!

4:46 am

FMitch

Either that or the rooster finally caught up with her?

4:47 am

Jayk

and it's not that hard, lynxx

4:47 am

Haz1558

That would have made it into the papers. 'Rooster eats woman'

4:47 am

Haz1558

And yes, I'm heading to the PB.

4:47 am

lynxxx

Back.

4:48 am

FMitch

you are getting lax Haz, you seem to be spending rather al lot of time in there these las tfew weeks or so!

4:49 am

Haz1558

I know. It's pretty horrifying.

4:49 am

lynxxx

Hi FM

4:49 am

FMitch

eek must dash have totally forgotten I was supposed to do something 1st thing this morning. TTFN

4:49 am

lynxxx

Sorry my chat froze hence I came 'back' a few times

4:50 am

westford

bye FM happy soup later

4:50 am

Haz1558

A wee senior moment for FM.

4:50 am

Haz1558

She's getting on a bit so these lapses are inevitable, dear help her.

4:51 am

westford

she'll get you Haz

4:51 am

westford

whack you on the shins with her cane

4:51 am

lynxxx

Its funny - I never get junk mail but the other day I got an email from Sandy which was junk. Obviously this mobile phone supplier had somehow got access to everyone that Sandy had ever sent an email to - weird

4:51 am

Haz1558

Oh, I know. She's a menace with that thing.

4:52 am

Haz1558

Maybe her computer has been hacked? That might explain the long silence.

4:52 am

Haz1558

And the dodgy e-mail as well?

4:52 am

westford

lyn someone got my cousin's email address and 'he' sent me a plaintive note about being mugged in London

4:52 am

lynxxx

Maybe. The reason for her long absence last time started when her computer broke down

4:53 am

westford

I sent it to him. He wrote back that he was safe at home but if I wanted to send money his wife would be happy to send it to him

4:53 am

Haz1558

That happened to someone else here on babble, westford, someone sent e-mails on their account asking for help. I can't remember who it was.

4:54 am

westford

I remember that. Said it was really a pain because they'd changed his password as well.

4:55 am

Haz1558

Yes, someone from the States, but I can't remember who exactly. FM isn't the only one having senior moments.

4:55 am

lynxxx

Friend of a friends daughter travelling in South America had her laptop stolen. Her father got an email from the thief saying he would return it - for a price

4:55 am

westford

cousin is Bill or Billy to the family and this was signed William

4:55 am

westford

enterprising young thing

4:56 am

4:57 am

The odd thing is that the email address that went to is the one I only use on Facebook and here.

4:57 am

Haz1558

Okay, I'd better be getting on with other things. See you later!

4:57 am

Sally-catlover

Sorry about double post.

4:57 am

westford

is Sandy selling roosters? lol

4:57 am

lynxxx

bye Haz

4:57 am

Sally-catlover

I would guess someone has hacked her FB account and sent this to all her FB friends.

4:57 am

westford

I'm off too. Nice seeing all of you.

4:58 am

lynxxx

bye West

4:58 am

Sally-catlover

Note to self: buy new deodorant. I'm still here, all alone :-(

4:59 am

lynxxx

Must go deeper Sally as I am not FB friend. I did once email her though and she replied - so they must have got into her email

4:59 am

lynxxx

It's OK I can't smell anything

5:00 am

Sally-catlover

As far as I remember she has never emailed me except through FB but I could be wrong. I wonder if she realises? Didn't think to tell her.

5:01 am

Sally-catlover

Wrong. Just checked. She sent me a recipe to that email address, so you are right someone has hacked her address book. I will let her know.

6:00 am

Sally-catlover

There's a word inside that one, as well, if you haven't found it already (and its plural)

Sally-catlover

it was an off-night for both of us. had a good chat before bed, which set things back on the right path.
we are just both stressed out with this planning...

12:21 pm

Nancy Boy

oh good, Eva :) good communication can sort most little hiccups! And yes, I imagine you are - but not long now, and then you never have to think about wedding planning again! Just have to worry about showing up and looking gorge ;)

12:22 pm

EvaNadine

i would love to just sleep straight from now to then -- that might be enough for me to feel rested!

12:23 pm

redturtlehead

Oh my Eva. I sometimes think the honeymoon is just for the couple to recover from the wedding maddness.

12:23 pm

Nancy Boy

Ohhh, I know how you feel about the sleep. I am sleeping SO much these days but still seem to be just dragging around - need to get a little sparkle back!

12:23 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL Red! Makes sense...

12:26 pm

EvaNadine

speaking of sparkle, dearest, i have hardly spoken to you in weeks!
how is life and such?
(and by "such" i mean frank!)

12:28 pm

Nancy Boy

Oh my, not much to report really...'such' is good ;) and I haven't smoked in five weeks! Other than that, just been madly busy - but not as madly busy as you, I'll bet!

LOL! Ouch. Wish I could tell you what it said at the bottom but half the script is cut off...probably the Korean for "shiiiiit!"

12:40 pm

EvaNadine

i could use HIS trainer.
though that seems like an awful lot of work + not much eating anything that tastes good...

12:41 pm

Nancy Boy

If I ever achieved a physique like that, my first move would be to cover my chest in paint and press up against my wallpaper. I'd want to remember that bad boy.

12:41 pm

EvaNadine

haha!

12:41 pm

EvaNadine

12:43 pm

1:11 pm

Jellen

You know, I've seen dogs and cats type, but this is my first bird sighting! :-)

1:12 pm

Jellen

I'm taking another break from manual labor...

1:12 pm

bethn

the bird is obviously spelling impaired

1:12 pm

bethn

what kind of manual labor jellen?

1:12 pm

Jellen

But much more creative than my cat...

1:13 pm

jessmom

but it knows emoticons!

1:13 pm

Jellen

Exterminator's coming tomorrow...have to empty kitchen cabinets...

1:14 pm

Jellen

My liquor cabinet alone is quite impressive...had no idea!

1:14 pm

bethn

when your feet are as long as this bird's with so many spread talons, you can say a whole lot with one quick run across the board : )

1:14 pm

Jellen

lol

1:15 pm

bethn

I hate emptying. we just painted the living/dining room so i had to empty everything. I am not putting it back til I can afford to install hardwoods and will do everything then ... may take years :/

1:16 pm

Jellen

Hardwoods are so nice...

1:18 pm

bethn

they are under the carpet now, but the previous owner had large dogs so they are reaaaalllly bad. to refinish them would be very time conuming and smelly and with the parrot, we would have to board him for weeks til the smell dissapated (sp?) so we are going to go over the existing ones

1:20 pm

Jellen

I was lucky...have the original hardwood floors in most of the house, and our floor guy was able to match really well for the rest...

1:21 pm

crosshair

you see that so often,especially in homes built in the 40,s and 50,s you lift up some hideous carpet and find the most amazing hardwood floor underneath

1:22 pm

bethn

it is such a nice look. we installed carpet because of the babies, but they are gone now so i can start redoing

1:22 pm

crosshair

then you spend foever getting stuck carpet backing off

1:22 pm

Jellen

My house was built in the 20s, but my grandparents covered most of the floors, too...

1:23 pm

bethn

i think it was a status symbol, to be able to cover the cold, hard floors

1:24 pm

crosshair

and all that amazing oak trim and the rosettes around door frames..buried under 22 coats of lead paint ugh...

1:24 pm

crosshair

i think it was bethn

1:26 pm

bethn

all the trim in my house is natural, and my friends keep saying "why don't you paint it to match?" I can still hear my father saying - you NEVER paint wood. It is one of the few times i paid attention. I cnat bring myself to paint the trim to this day

1:26 pm

crosshair

good girl;)))

1:27 pm

Jellen

I agree with your dad!

1:27 pm

bethn

besides, it is much easier to keep clean, never peels or cracks, just dust or wipe with damp cloth

such a wonderful area, but not the easiest to find employment i would guess.

2:22 pm

bethn

I'm guessing private schools might have more funds available than the public ones in this Christy-era

2:23 pm

tcnjgrad10

enjoyable, but you're right..easiest-not in the least. I graduated in may and have applied to about 70+ jobs with only 3 interviews that went nowhere

2:23 pm

tcnjgrad10

even private schools are suffering though

2:23 pm

tcnjgrad10

for right now I'm just teaching privately so that I have some money

2:23 pm

tcnjgrad10

and am still looking for a teaching job, there are a lot of maternity leaves and long-term substitute jobs that pop up during the year

5:42 pm

JBV

I have the TV on and keep running in and out to see eachrescue - # 28 is next I think

5:43 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

5:43 pm

nanachichi

5:44 pm

Kallia

5:51 pm

Bugsaw

hello all

5:52 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

halo, Bugsaw! Xx!

5:52 pm

Nancy Boy

Hiya, Bugs :)

5:52 pm

Bugsaw

Hi George. Still trying to find a picture of me I am willing to post. Thot I would post an ancestor instead.

5:53 pm

Bugsaw

Hi NB. So good to see you back here. We have not been on at the same time in a heck of lnog time

5:53 pm

Bugsaw

*long time

5:54 pm

Bugsaw

Hi redturtlehead. I love your giant anenome. Did you know that they will eat hot dog weiners?

5:54 pm

redturtlehead

i did not know that bugs, goodness...

5:55 pm

Nancy Boy

Thanks, Bugs, lovely to see you too! I'm guessing the 'ancestor' thing is an icon theme? Too boring for me - all my ancestors look like me, just in different clothes :P

5:56 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

post where, Bugsaw? and why not post a pic of yourself, on your page, like??

5:56 pm

Bugsaw

Yes, many years ago, I was at a beach party and some drunk guy decided he didn't want his hot dog so he stuck it in the anenome who closed its little arms all around it and held on. It stayed there for days, just got shorter and shorter

5:56 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, NB, it was the theme today, which is over in 4 more mins here, ha!

5:57 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

so I've got an ancestor and a relative in mine!! that's my sis Siobhan's little girl!

5:57 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

does your mum count as an ancestor though?!?

5:58 pm

tcnjgrad10

wait the theme is ancestors?

5:58 pm

tcnjgrad10

I have a few

5:59 pm

Nancy Boy

Don't see why not George, although I certainly wouldn't count my own mother as one ;)

5:59 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, 'most surprising relative/ancestor' is the icon theme for today!

6:00 pm

Bugsaw

Of course parents count as ancestors. I don't have any pirates of thieves that I know of but I was missing my Dad this weekend so I used him.

6:00 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

don't have any surprising ones in our family really, but my mum's strength has surprised me over the years!! so there you are, that'll hafta do!

6:00 pm

tcnjgrad10

by surprising you mean, "ohmygosh I didn't know I was related to them!" kind of thing?

6:00 pm

Bugsaw

I don't do the icon theme every day but it seems to be very important to Jillibus and she is so great, I do it more for her

6:01 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

I suppose, yeah, something like that?? none like that in our family though, but some of my family surprise me at times, you know how it is!!

6:01 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

and if anyone of them do, it's most often my mum and this little niece of mine, ha!

6:02 pm

Bugsaw

I have hundreds of weird relatives but I wasn't sure what kind of surprise they were hoping for tcn

6:02 pm

tcnjgrad10

oh ok well in that case..

6:03 pm

tcnjgrad10

here is my most surprising ancestor

6:03 pm

tcnjgrad10

uh oh..hmm

6:03 pm

tcnjgrad10

wonder why it's not showing

6:03 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

reload the page, m8!

6:04 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

then it will!!

6:04 pm

tcnjgrad10

is it working now?

6:04 pm

tcnjgrad10

nope

6:04 pm

tcnjgrad10

darn

6:04 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, that worked!!

6:04 pm

tcnjgrad10

it did?

6:04 pm

tcnjgrad10

you can see the guy with the shoe?

6:04 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

I reloaded the page and it shows now, the babble site page, like........

6:04 pm

Bugsaw

I hit refresh and it worked tcn. try it.

6:04 pm

tcnjgrad10

cause I cant

6:05 pm

tcnjgrad10

ooooh ta daaaaa

6:05 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

not that I know who he is--should add a blurb about him in your bio, beside the pic??

6:05 pm

tcnjgrad10

thanks Bugs

6:05 pm

Bugsaw

so what is your number tcn?

6:05 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

you should do the same, Bugsaw, cos no one knows why you've put that pic in there otherwise!?

6:06 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

number??

6:06 pm

Nancy Boy

I don't think I have any surprising relatives. Goes back to the Goguryeo warriors so I guess I'm related to the original samurais. Actually, considering me, that's pretty surprising...

6:06 pm

tcnjgrad10

there

6:06 pm

tcnjgrad10

now y'all can read about him

6:06 pm

Bugsaw

Thanks George. I did say what it was but I guess I forget to hit something and it says my Dad is a paper doll!!!

6:07 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, I don't either, NB, but mine would probably all say they have one--me, ha!

6:08 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

ha, ha, Bugsaw!!

6:08 pm

Kallia

I saw that Bugsaw...made me smile :)

6:08 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh yeah, tcnjgrad?? interesting, but you should say how he's related to ya!?

6:08 pm

Nancy Boy

haha, George! well I don't think my relatives were totally prepared for me, either :P

6:09 pm

Bugsaw

Fixed it now but I haven't found many words yet. lol

6:09 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

we lost my dad 7 years ago, Bugsaw

6:09 pm

tcnjgrad10

okie, did it

6:09 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, NB, doesn't seem like it, sad that!!

6:10 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh yeah, cool tcn!!

6:10 pm

Nancy Boy

screw 'em ;)

6:10 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

handsome fella, he was!

6:10 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

no ta, NB!! not even if I was desperate, lol!

6:11 pm

m9f9l

hello! NB!! George!!!

6:11 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL! I think you know that's NOT what I meant :P

6:11 pm

Nancy Boy

Hi, M9!

6:11 pm

Bugsaw

You guys crack me up!!! Hi m9

6:12 pm

m9f9l

any lawyers on? I actually need one for once!

6:12 pm

m9f9l

well.. my friend does.

6:13 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

halo, m9!! Xx! congrats on our scrabble game, btw!!

6:13 pm

m9f9l

Thought I'd babble for a few and let my brain spin around on what to do.

6:13 pm

m9f9l

why thank you! we were close there!

6:13 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

what's the trouble, m9?

6:15 pm

m9f9l

I did some transporting for my friend today. Took her mom to cancer center, picked up son from school and drove him home. While there.. sherriff came to arrest her! Luckily he said it was up to him..and decided not to arrest her right there but to put it to a grand jury or something...

6:15 pm

Bugsaw

can we listen even if we aren't lawyers m9?

6:15 pm

flosey

Hi all, Bugs - there aren't enough teachers with the attitude of your Father, easy to see why you followed in his footsteps.

6:16 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

blimey, arrest her for what??

6:16 pm

tcnjgrad10

what was she being arrested for, if you don't mind me asking?

6:16 pm

m9f9l

her whack job druggy sister vandalized the mom's house a while ago. after the house had a fire...

6:16 pm

Bugsaw

Hi flosey. Nice to see you again too and thanks for the kind words.

6:16 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

well then why's she being arrested??

6:16 pm

m9f9l

her mom was really not doing well with cancer treatments and left the stove on.. and there was a fire while mom was at hospital.

6:16 pm

flosey

just popped in to check on tomorrow's theme

6:17 pm

m9f9l

sister has accused her of insurance fraud.

6:18 pm

Bugsaw

how terrible families can be to each other!! Makes me so mad sometimes

6:18 pm

m9f9l

sister's daughter is a runaway from foster home right now.. and plans were in motion for my friend to have the girl. I think sister is just so messed up and broken that she has fixated on the idea of ruining my friend's life to feel better about herself.

6:18 pm

Bugsaw

that makes sense and probably did to the cop too

6:19 pm

m9f9l

I hope so. but it's pretty serious.

6:19 pm

m9f9l

and she can't afford a lawyer. Sometimes those nut jobs can sell a story pretty well. I'm hoping all her craziness catches up with her this time.

6:20 pm

m9f9l

And it totally messes up the plan for the neice.. who is now on the street again!

6:20 pm

Nancy Boy

Don't they appoint lawyers for those who can't afford them, M9?

6:20 pm

Bugsaw

Our ministry in BC has decided that they won't put a child in foster care unless they have to so they put the guilt on other family members to take the kids. They forget sometimes how much more complicated it can be to do it that way.

6:20 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

god, what a mess and yeah, what about legal aid?!?

6:21 pm

m9f9l

So..... I got online to look up the local CASA. They are usually appointed by a judge, but maybe we can get that in motion.. so the neice has someone looking out for her.

6:21 pm

m9f9l

it's drugs. drugs just mess things up so badly.

6:22 pm

m9f9l

I was also on here to get the phone number of a retired lawyer I know in our area. Teaches the church class I'm going to tonight and that my friend sometimes goes to. Thought I'd see if he'd meet me early tonight.

6:22 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh yeah, know a lot about that, I do--was very messed up on them for a time myself, don't touch'em now though, don't even drink now and have almost entirely kicked the cigarettes as well!! still battling that one, keep on fighting though!

6:22 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, that might be a good idea, m9, ring him?!

6:22 pm

Bugsaw

don't forget that lawyers and judges have seen this scenario a thousand times before and they will recognize that Mum has an underlying agenda.

6:22 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

should think so, Bugsaw, yeah

6:23 pm

m9f9l

that is SO great George. Ugh.. there were smoker's outside her apartment today. It sure smells nasty. Especially the ones who have a day (or more's) worth of the smell on them!

6:23 pm

Nancy Boy

Haven't smoked for five weeks myself. *smug*

6:24 pm

m9f9l

oh Nancy! That's great~! I was hoping you'd stick with it. Frank too?

6:24 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, sure does, realised after giving it up how much better it is without!! yeah, read that on the updates, NB, so proud of ya, kid! Xx!

6:24 pm

car.eeyore

AWESOME NB!

6:24 pm

Bugsaw

you are doing so well with all that George. Even doing bikram at 7:00 a.m.!!

6:24 pm

m9f9l

I know... yoga! awesome

6:24 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, can you imagine, me getting up that early now, Bugsaw?? ha, ha! doing it though!!

6:25 pm

Nancy Boy

awww, thanks everyone!! (George, a certain friend of ours threatened to stop talking to me if I started up again :P)

6:25 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh yeah? ha, good for him--that'll make ya stay off'em, lad!!

6:25 pm

Nancy Boy

Don't know HOW you are doing that, George. So early in the morning my eyes are watering!

6:25 pm

Bugsaw

5 weeks NB!! well done. It was hard to quit smoking but once I got that far I just did it day by day for life. I know if I had even one I would remember why I enjoyed it

6:25 pm

car.eeyore

Congrats to you too George!

6:26 pm

m9f9l

oh...phone! maybe it's the bishop!!

6:26 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, it's bad if you have one again, that happens to me once in a while when I'm really stressed out! I'll have one, then two or three or more, then just stop again, get right back on the wagon!!

6:26 pm

Bugsaw

Good for you George

6:27 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

I go back on the patch when that happens, helps me not to light up again for a while, use those ecigarettes as well

6:27 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

ta, car.eeyore!

6:27 pm

car.eeyore

May I please have help with the middle column E's?

6:28 pm

car.eeyore

Sorry! Just the center E!

6:28 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

ei4/5 is almost a duck?

6:28 pm

car.eeyore

Fish! TY!

6:29 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

short a letter (last consonant)

6:29 pm

Bugsaw

tx George

6:29 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yw Bugs!

6:29 pm

Nancy Boy

Good for you, George...I think if I had one now I'd be lost forever. Couldn't actually bring myself to throw my remaining cigs away so I had to give them to friends.

6:30 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

why would ya want them to smoke?? I don't have any trouble breaking up and throwing away the nasty cancer sticks!!

6:30 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

especially not after seeing my mum develop emphysema from smoking!!

6:31 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

she quit the moment she was diagnosed, threw out her last packet of fags right there in the bin in the doc's exam room and never lit up another--she says she wouldn't put another to her lips even if she was offered £1,000,000 or more to!!

6:32 pm

Nancy Boy

A large majority of my friends smoke, and refused to quit with me. So, someone might as well get some use out of them.

6:32 pm

Bugsaw

Good for your Mum. I am sorry she had to get to the point of diagnosis before she had the strength tho.

6:32 pm

Nancy Boy

But I gave them to a friend who smokes Gitanes. He tells me my American Spirits are "wimpy".

6:33 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

it was really affecting me as well, knew if I didn't quit I was headed that way!! was really ruining my voice, should send you clips of me singing when I was still smoking heavily a few years ago and then some from over this past year since I quit, NB!! what a differe4nce, it's very noticable!

6:33 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah me too, Bugsaw, but she would be loads worse off if she hadn't quit when she did!!

6:34 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

don't matter, NB, shouldn't have given them to anyone, only helping them to ruin their health, wouldn't help anyone to do that!!

6:34 pm

Nancy Boy

really, George! I have seen a few from this past year (yes, you're sounding lovely!) - good that you quit before you did permanent damage to your voice!!

6:34 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, I worried about that but it was affecting my breathing pretty bad, I've had pretty bad asthma since birth and it deffo wasn't helping that!!

6:36 pm

jacq

hello everybody

6:37 pm

Bugsaw

hi jac

6:37 pm

jacq

heya NB!!!

6:37 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

halo

6:37 pm

jacq

hi Bug

6:37 pm

Nancy Boy

Yeah, I'd say!! I guess I'm lucky I got a wake-up call to quit before any real, permanent damage was done. Well, knock wood, anyway.

6:39 pm

jacq

hello George, sorry was distracted, am watching the chilean rescue on tv

well, then, to be completely technical, it's a specific pair of the front appendages of the spider, specialized for feeding. Hence the latin for foot part of the word we all recognize.

7:24 pm

Scrabbler

I just took "Zantac" because of heartburn after eating veggie chili.

7:25 pm

redturtlehead

I rarely get heartburn, thank goodness.

7:25 pm

jacq

i only get it when i eat fast food

7:25 pm

jacq

and since i loathe fast food that's never an issue

7:26 pm

redturtlehead

Scrabbler, what do you think of singulair vs albuterol for exercise induced asthma in someone who also has allergic rhinitis?

7:27 pm

Scrabbler

I always prefer a topical/local med over a systemic one. Drug of choice for asthma control = inhaled corticosteroid.

7:27 pm

Scrabbler

Do you flare up when you run and swim?

7:28 pm

redturtlehead

I am finding that I am not doing very well with the inhalation, and only have symptoms when running or swimming. lots of coughing and having to stop to catch breath.

7:28 pm

jacq

number 32 is up and safe

7:30 pm

Scrabbler

In the "old" days premedicating with albuterol was advised. Now exercise-induced asthma is viewed as mild persistent asthma that requires daily use of an inhaled steroid. e.g. QVAR, Pulmicort, Flovent. You could have PFTs done, start inhaled steroid tx, then redo PFTs. I bet you will improve with numbers and overall performance with running + swimming.

7:34 pm

cosdem

pe 8/60?

7:34 pm

Scrabbler

I have no 7s, 8s or the 9--I just started.

7:35 pm

cosdem

aw thanks anyway!

7:35 pm

redturtlehead

I had pft's done by an allergist yesterday they were wonderful, of course, but I would have preferred to try the singulari, he wanted to give me like 5 different scripts. I really just want the singulair, since each time I try to inhale I dont get but 1/4 of the med.

7:35 pm

cosdem

7 words - very easy fyi

7:35 pm

Scrabbler

I find Babble relaxing before I go to bed.

7:35 pm

herinfernallady

Cos think feet

7:35 pm

redturtlehead

I actually disliked that MD so much that I am thinking about not going back.

7:35 pm

lbdawger

pe8.60 is food + vowel + friend + consonant

7:35 pm

Scrabbler

Red, then you need a spacer!

7:36 pm

redturtlehead

they told me I didnt need one with that particular medication, another reason I think I will try to get my new primary who may also stink, to handle it better. I'm not liking these local MD's much.

7:36 pm

lbdawger

hi everyone

7:36 pm

cosdem

thanks!

7:36 pm

Scrabbler

Hi dawg

7:36 pm

Bugsaw

cosdem - the first 4 letters refer to feet + when you are in love your heart ***itates (another word for beats)

7:37 pm

cosdem

got it ty all

7:37 pm

Bugsaw

Hi lbd

7:37 pm

herinfernallady

sorry wrong letter

7:37 pm

lbdawger

hiya, scrabs! hiya, bugs

7:37 pm

Scrabbler

Every MDI is far more effective with a spacer. 70% of adults have been shown to not use their MDI correctly. Or use a DPI--Pulmicort.

7:38 pm

redturtlehead

Well, that pretty much indicates that I need to not go back and see that guy again, he was all into doing the skin tests for allergens and stuff, which I let him do but I should have told him to skip it.

7:39 pm

Well done, Julian!! I have the added benefit of knowing how crazily quickly you did that. Inhuman, just inhuman :P

7:39 pm

J. C.

Thank you, cosdem, jacq and Bugsaw! :)

7:40 pm

J. C.

I did go well over halfway yesterday morning though - so was only a matter of completing it now. ;)

7:40 pm

Scrabbler

RAST is now more helpful than skin tests. And you can already guess what you are allergic too--trees, grasses, weeds, etc--and you can't avoid any of it. So use nasal steroid spray + inhaled steroid. And you will soon be in an Ironmand!

7:40 pm

J. C.

It's easy when you list, Jesse...

7:40 pm

J. C.

Yes. I am having the RAST allergy test done.

7:41 pm

Nancy Boy

That's the sad thing - I AM listing ;)

welki

baxter was a puppy; we had an aged basset hound when we adopted him. then, about a year after reggie died, we adopted a border collie (don't know exactly how old he was when we took him in, maybe 1.5 or 2)

8:28 pm

PAV3

Sir JC! how "early" is it there?

8:28 pm

Nancy Boy

hmmm, not that I'm aware of, Pav! It's not a good quality picture - not sure if that's anything to do with it? ;)

8:29 pm

LuvWordGames

la 8/50 la + vowel + what's on a calendar

8:29 pm

PAV3

usually you here the la8 as part of a word (not here) meaning rundown and in shambles...dila8

8:29 pm

Nancy Boy

it's about half past two in the morning here, Pav! Check out JC's link, it's adorable :)

8:29 pm

dianedecoder

la what you get when you sit.... + first person pronoun... + going on a _ _ _ _ with your sweetie

8:29 pm

PAV3

it seems to me to be a mix of photo washing with sepia undertones, quite artistic

8:30 pm

Nancy Boy

ehh?? blimey Pav, all surprises to me - I didn't take the picture (er, clearly!) so I'll have to ask the photographer...as far as I know it was taken with a mobile phone, though.

8:31 pm

Nancy Boy

Then again, what I know about photography, you could write on the back of a stamp.

8:31 pm

J. C.

It's 2:30 am, PAV - early enough for you?

8:32 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Thanks, Luv and diane.

8:32 pm

PAV3

well some mobile phones do have poor lenses and thus poor imagery. It just looks pleasant enough to be artistic IMHO.

8:33 pm

PAV3

Dear me Sir! it's way past your bedtime and when I catch up, it'll be way past my bedtime, even when I'm on staycation!

8:33 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Oh, and thanks to PAV3.

8:34 pm

Nancy Boy

well thank you very much, PAV ;)

8:34 pm

PAV3

I'm soory peach, did I throw you for a loop? sometimes my clues are cryptic enough...it's a hit/miss thing

8:35 pm

PAV3

I've not been using my freetime on vacations well, or I'd have photos to show myself...

8:35 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

No, dear, it just takes a little for my brain to click into gear. Thanks.

8:36 pm

Nancy Boy

ohh, I would love to see some photographs you take, Pav. Sounds like you know your stuff!

8:36 pm

PAV3

brain in gear...hmmm? I may want to do that sooner than not...

8:37 pm

PAV3

NB...i use to take seven rolls of 36 exposure 35mm film to produce one shot worth saving...thank goodness for digital...now not soo much adventurism left in me...

8:37 pm

Nancy Boy

Hrrm. Pe8 please, anyone? I keep entering words that aren't 8 letters and have no chance of being in the grid...like 'peyote'...just words I like.

8:38 pm

Nancy Boy

Well as long as you produced something worth saving, Pav, I'd say it was all worth it! I prefer to be in front of the camera than behind it, though. If I'm taking the photo, odds are some unfortunate will have their head cut off..

8:40 pm

PAV3

my grandmother use to tell me she hated being in pictures...the spanish folk of yore sometimes felt a picture steals a person's soul...for the most part, mine are landscape photos..

8:43 pm

Nancy Boy

ahhh, I prefer to think that my soul isn't stolen but just rather well preserved ;)

8:44 pm

J. C.

pe8,60 = pe**(cure), to beautify the feet (toenails) and ****ate, as a doctor would examine a patient with the hands and fingers.

8:44 pm

J. C.

And PAV - check your email. ;)

8:45 pm

PAV3

hmmm clues worth running after....email too?

8:45 pm

J. C.

Yes. :)

8:45 pm

Nancy Boy

Thanks, Julian! I'll puzzle that one out ;)

8:46 pm

welki

was on phone .. jc! it's a wonderful pic! thanks :)

8:47 pm

J. C.

Ah. Thank you - thought you might enjoy that, welki. :)

8:48 pm

Nancy Boy

Okay, that's not a real word. And if it is, it's ridiculous!

8:48 pm

Nancy Boy

(thank you :))

8:48 pm

PAV3

I love the pic! my neighbor actually tipped me onto another "spoiling" - lighted collars and leads for walking the dogs...I'm night-blind so any help to make sure I "see" my poopies is worth it...

8:48 pm

J. C.

Well, yes. That's what I thought, Jesse.

8:49 pm

PAV3

yeah, I'm with NB..a word my feet!

8:49 pm

J. C.

Ah. That's a good idea, PAV - for purposes of visibility when walking them along a roadside at night.

8:49 pm

Nancy Boy

Took me long enough, anyway...

8:50 pm

PAV3

or in the middle of a condo complex where even the pathlights are dim...

8:50 pm

J. C.

Sure. Anything like that...

8:51 pm

PAV3

or at the top of ones wtairway, when sleeping/guarding and my bad eyes can't make out a shape much less a dog or a wall...

8:51 pm

Nancy Boy

that's fireworks for me, then. officially the chubbiest grid I ever vanquished.

8:51 pm

8:52 pm

J. C.

Hi, Jellen...

8:53 pm

J. C.

You're quite welcome, Jesse. ;)

8:53 pm

Jellen

Hooray for welki!!!

8:53 pm

J. C.

Yes. Time for sleep...

8:53 pm

Nancy Boy

yes - I was going to say I should go lie down in a darkened room, but then I realised, that's pretty much just going to bed.

8:54 pm

Jellen

lol, NB...

8:54 pm

J. C.

Off to Horsham later today...

8:54 pm

PAV3

NB...I put ear muffs on at times to prevent intellectual drainage...does it work?

8:54 pm

J. C.

Go lie down? What about sleep?

8:54 pm

J. C.

Hmmm. You think the grey matter can leak out of the ears, PAV?

8:55 pm

Jellen

Depends on the company, I'd say, J.C....

8:55 pm

J. C.

Or just the intellectual matter it contains? :P

8:55 pm

Nancy Boy

I've got to be awake again in about an hour anyway! not like that'll stop me from drifting off, I am completely shagged...

8:55 pm

Nancy Boy

or knackered rather, sorry.

8:55 pm

PAV3

well the grey matter has already started to spring forth from my head..so leakage would be inconsequential...

8:55 pm

PAV3

take a power nap, NB!

8:56 pm

PAV3

if the hairstyle fits NB

8:56 pm

J. C.

Well I was shagged, a little earlier - now I'm simply knackered, yes. :P

8:56 pm

our son is down in Casa Grande for 10 days, doing a little golfing and wife...shopping, of course. He built a home there 5 years ago, and we go down there for 2 months, in Jan, / Feb.

9:18 pm

PAV3

It's about an hour's drive from me.

9:18 pm

westford

the pe8 is first part of toenails polished etc and same as first letter and end of skin on your head

9:18 pm

dianedecoder

He uses it when he can get away .... and hey... they are starting to build some homes in his community ( Mission Royale ) with solar everything !

9:18 pm

a solar home in AZ is the dream...alas, regulations get in the way...

9:21 pm

westford

lots of 'solar' there lol

9:21 pm

westford

you'd think they would be all for it

9:22 pm

westford

pav you remember my brother in law and his wife moved there?

9:23 pm

westford

too hot for them by June..they're back in CO

9:23 pm

PAV3

yeah, I work for the Corp Comm which regulated the public utilities here in AZ..you'd think the public would be all for it, but the industry is disadvantaged here by the "electric" utilities...it'll be an issue quite rapidly

9:23 pm

dianedecoder

Last winter down there wasn't the best... we were there when they got that big rainstorm and had to close down the airport... Jan 21 I think. Our daughter and hubby just made it in before they closed it. .... same time as all the snow in Flagstaff.

he's the same one who moved to Seattle and said..it rains a lot here lol

9:25 pm

dianedecoder

got in lots of golf though, so it can't have been THAT bad !! I'm beginning to really like it down there... one gets used to the sand and small gravel, instead of grass lawns, etc.

9:25 pm

PAV3

Oct-Mar is the best time for those not used to "warm" weather...

9:25 pm

dianedecoder

probably would find it "windy" in Chicago too LOL

9:26 pm

westford

diane is your son a contractor..you said he built a home there

9:26 pm

PAV3

Ugh! we're trying to spruce up our condo complex after years of landscapers that turned us into rocks and dirt...

9:26 pm

yes, he doesn't research places very well I'm thinking

9:33 pm

westford

I copied down the info crossy will do

9:34 pm

crosshair

the reason i say sony for pdf is because sony dan display in portrait or landscape mode and pdf works well in landscape mode

9:34 pm

herinfernallady

B.f wants a page per page

9:34 pm

crosshair

the nook can only do portrait mode but excells in e-pub files

9:35 pm

crosshair

then go with the sony 6 inch touchscreen reader herin

9:35 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

cool westford,they are doing great things at stanford.you should be proud

9:39 pm

westford

she's so smart and pretty and young...I hate her lol

9:39 pm

crosshair

then herin there is the top of the line sony called "daily edition reader"

9:40 pm

crosshair

9:40 pm

crosshair

the kobo is a basic entry lever reader only

9:41 pm

ChuggaBOOM!

9:42 pm

9:44 pm

westford

I need to try it out for babble

9:44 pm

crosshair

the i-pads are ok for what they are westford ,but untill they can take flash,i will have to pass

9:44 pm

westford

I know that's the rub

9:45 pm

herinfernallady

That is why I asked Cross

9:45 pm

crosshair

3 g rules and regs differ from country to country,so you will have to research a bit herin but the wi-fi will suffice

9:45 pm

herinfernallady

Problem is the 3g thing

9:45 pm

crosshair

it is a big rub westford

9:45 pm

herinfernallady

What about the Kindle Crossie?

9:46 pm

westford

he uses it when he travels to meetings just downloads things from his computer before he goes

9:46 pm

crosshair

if he wants to do a ton of surfing a reader is not what he wants herin,even the best wi-fi capable and 3 g reader machine should be considered always and formost a reader..you want to surf heavy duty..get a net book

9:47 pm

crosshair

the kindle has its own issues....

9:47 pm

crosshair

it has severly proprietary software limitations herin

9:47 pm

westford

does he have a birthday coming up herin?

9:47 pm

crosshair

you can ONLY load books from amazon

9:47 pm

crosshair

9:49 pm

herinfernallady

It does Support it Cross but you need to convert what a pain in the ass

9:49 pm

crosshair

they do it so you cannot download your own books online herin

9:50 pm

crosshair

seriously herin it is the sony or the nook,but you have to have someone buy the nook for you in the states

9:50 pm

PAV3

37 left, wovels are done

9:50 pm

crosshair

the kobo is fine for reading only....no frills

9:51 pm

westford

are those the same as vowels pav? lol

9:51 pm

crosshair

the nook has a user changable battery,all the rest you have to send in

9:51 pm
