Jon's birthday is coming up. I'll get him the 4g and confiscate it

3:32 am

westford

oh no, really?

3:34 am

Nancy Boy

Thanks! Can't see it, somehow. The army there is very "don't ask, don't tell" but you know...with me you don't really need to ask.

3:35 am

J. C.

Me either...

3:36 am

westford

much rather have you both here

3:36 am

westford

now a babble army might be okay

3:37 am

Nancy Boy

(For that you have to be a Korean national - I have a British passport)

3:37 am

J. C.

Erm - seems you didn't understand what I was saying there, westford. Only that with me, you don't really need to ask either. I'm rather obvious. :P

3:38 am

westford

I did JC

3:39 am

J. C.

Don't understand why you said 'much rather have you both here' then?

3:39 am

westford

our son's friend is Korean but born in Japan came here to school when he was going back Japanese embassy wouldn't help because he was Korean and vice versa

3:39 am

westford

here rather than in the army JC

3:40 am

J. C.

As if, westford? Could you really see me there?!

3:41 am

westford

lol you'd be entertaining for sure

3:42 am

westford

oh I meant to tell you JC there was a picture recently in your profile that looked just like a young Michael Caine

3:42 am

J. C.

Hmmm, westford? I doubt it somehow - as I've never resembled him.

3:42 am

westford

has anyone ever noticed the resemblance?

3:42 am

westford

it was in profile

3:43 am

westford

reminded me of his role in Zulu

3:44 am

J. C.

Erm, no westford - I look like me.

3:44 am

Nancy Boy

3:49 am

J. C.

Yes, Jesse is gorgeous...

3:49 am

westford

3:51 am

Nancy Boy

FMitch

I was looking at your pics yesterday, love the one of Terra looking in through the door with the snow in the garden

5:09 am

sprite

thank you :) Yes, I love that one too. He does't scratch the door, he just peeps his head over the rim of the window and expects someone will jump up and let him in. We don't disappoint.

5:10 am

FMitch

How old is he now?

5:11 am

sprite

in august he was 1,5 years...20 months now.

5:11 am

FMitch

5:15 am

5:15 am

sprite

wtg! I have no biggies at all yet, but that is normal for me. Happily plodding along.

5:19 am

Haz1558

5:19 am

FMitch

Oh a surpirse party, fun! Are you wedding shopping tomorrow?

5:20 am

Haz1558

Can we get jus in somewhere?

5:56 am

FMitch

5:56 am

FMitch

I'll add a splash of wine to justify the jus.

5:57 am

Haz1558

Absolutely and of course you'll need chef's vegetables of the season to add another Â£5.

5:57 am

Me too Haz.

6:04 am

Haz1558

6:04 am

FMitch

Haz I happened to be watching Nigella last night and she did spagetti with marmite (no other ingredients). The kids seemed to love it!?!?

6:05 am

my daughter would love that

6:07 am

lynxxx

Back. That sounds just awful

6:08 am

Haz1558

I'm hopelessly prejudiced against Nigella, I admit it. Maybe it has something to do with her being very beautiful and having a multi-millionaire husband, I don't know. Mainly it's because she's just so pleased with herself and because she doesn't ever seem to wear an apron.

6:08 am

sprite

she is so rich that you just don't recognise her aprons as such, Haz

6:09 am

Haz1558

And men LOVE her. All of them.

6:09 am

lynxxx

I'm in your camp Haz

6:09 am

FMitch

It's her half coy/seual looks to camera that bug me.

6:09 am

sprite

ooooo I hear green!

6:09 am

Haz1558

Hooray, I'm not the only one not to be dying about her!

6:10 am

lynxxx

not jealousy Sprite - just plain annoyance

6:10 am

sprite

*grin* Beautiful, sexy, rich and a good cook... no wonder men love her.

6:10 am

FMitch

OK I must get back to the kitchen as the oven is now heated and I need to get things rolling. back in a bit.

6:11 am

FMitch

oh and she has big boobies too sprite *grin*

6:11 am

Haz1558

Maybe it's green and maybe it's just incredulity that men are so drawn to her. Normal, sensible not-easily-swayed men. Like my husband! Maybe he just pretends to like her to annoy me, do you think that could be it?

6:11 am

lynxxx

and very annoyed at the person that told Nigella she should always wear block colored tops with v-necks

6:11 am

sprite

lolll ok! She cannot be competed with. I am just sexy. But still, men love me.

6:12 am

Eva

good morning. Just a few words about Nigella. She has actually gone through a tremendous amount...lost her mother, sister and first husband to cancer within a period of years. I also like having someone who cooks, and doesn't look like sitck..who actually ha some curves.

6:13 am

sprite

hi Eva, I agree

6:13 am

Eva

hi Sprite

6:14 am

lynxxx

hi Eva. I think we all know that and sympathise - but she still annoys me, I can't watch her. But then I don't like women who blatently use their 'assets'

6:14 am

Haz1558

I know, Eva, she has had many tragedies in her life, but I just can't relate to her food, nor the way she produces it, nor the deep meaningful glances she gives as she samples it. Still, at least her language is clean.

6:14 am

sprite

and Haz, I think he really likes looking at her... but he would never consider swapping.

6:15 am

sprite

I kind of like women who are not afraid to use their assets. Men do. Why shouldn't women?

6:16 am

Haz1558

No, I don't think he'd want to swap. He'd be far too intimidated.

6:16 am

Eva

I've never actually tried any of her recipes so can't vouch for that. The one whom I can't listen to for even a few minutes is Rachel Ray. The unceasing chirpiness feels like fingernails on a blackboard.

6:16 am

Haz1558

I've never seen Rachel Ray, Eva, so can't comment.

6:16 am

sprite

and cooking is just one of your many virtues, Haz.

6:17 am

lynxxx

Totally agree with you about Rachel Ray - watched her ONCE

6:18 am

Haz1558

I should google Rachel Ray and see if she's on youtube.

6:18 am

sprite

fireflies. As7 was hard to find for me... small wonder.

6:18 am

lynxxx

Congrats Sprite!

6:19 am

Haz1558

Well done, sprite!

6:19 am

wildcat17

*happily pats Merp*

6:19 am

sprite

good grid, for a small one

6:19 am

sprite

hi wildcat

6:19 am

Eva

very few f the shows actually teach anything about cooking any more. They are either celebrity vehicles or reality shows. The one I always learn something from is Alton Brown's "Good Eats". After years of dry Thanksgiving turkeys I followed his video et voila, magnifique!

6:19 am

lynxxx

hi Wild

6:20 am

Eva

morning wildcat....does he deserve to be patted if he intentionally walked across my sleeping (for the moment) body at 5 am?

6:20 am

wildcat17

hi hi

6:21 am

wildcat17

oh yes .. the cat's in charge after all

6:22 am

sprite

you mean you were actually asleep at that time??

6:22 am

wildcat17

why weren't you up tending to his needs?

6:23 am

Haz1558

I'm trying to find a number so that I can report Eva to animal cruelty.

6:23 am

Eva

yes-and haven'tbeen doing well in the sleep department recently so was not amused. Took some more mediation and got another hour and a half. To his credit, he didn't bite me for ignoring him. Or sit by my ear mummphing.

6:23 am

sprite

call the cat whisperer

6:24 am

wildcat17

awww sorry Eva

6:24 am

sprite

sleeping problems suck

6:25 am

wildcat17

sigh have to go to work .. lovely chatting with all of you. *pats Merp one more time*

6:25 am

sprite

bye wildcat

6:25 am

lynxxx

bye Wild

6:26 am

Eva

he has had a couple of very odd moment in the past month,repeats of behaviors from when we first got him and he was partially feral, where he has attacked, quite badly, seemingly out of nowhere. Then he seems to feel terribly embarassed, I was afraid it might be senile dementia. But I think it usually happens after he has killed something, and then gets a bit confused about what is prey and what not

6:26 am

Eva

bye wildcat

6:27 am

sprite

got his bloodlust up maybe

6:27 am

Eva

that's what I think

6:28 am

lynxxx

It is you he is attacking?

6:28 am

Eva

yes.

6:30 am

lynxxx

Have you had the opportunity to mention it to the vet? maybe there is some medication or natural product he should be on to calm him down

6:31 am

Eva

I did mention it when he had his checkup, but the thing is that aside from those moments he's not agitated at all. That's what was so odd about them.

6:32 am

Eva

The other possibility is that there is some spot on his body that I accidentally touched that was bothering him. I havent been able to locate it, but you never know.

6:32 am

sprite

I once separated my cat from one he was fighting and he bit me severely. But I could see in his eyes he didn't see me at all, he was totally into the fighting mode. Never bit me before of after. Could be the same thing?

6:34 am

Eva

Yes it didn't feel like he was intentionally biting me at all. Just that something came over him, and then was done. I did terrify him after the last time, just to leave a really strong memory trace that this behavior is completely unacceptable.

6:35 am

sprite

should have made an impression

6:36 am

Eva

one can only hope that something enters that pea brain.

6:36 am

sprite

I have to be off, bye all, thanks for the chat and the help.
BabbleRabble, take care of you as best as you can.

6:36 am

Haz1558

Bye sprite.

6:36 am

lynxxx

bye Sprite

6:36 am

Eva

adieu sprite

6:37 am

Haz1558

I need to go as well -dogs to walk, papers to buy. Enjoy the grid and bye for now.

NonoNanette

8:00 am

NonoNanette

8:00 am

Mom

((Soodle)) hello

8:03 am

carleekat

hmmm..us dollar down again..i may have to go shopping in us this weekend

8:04 am

Mom

8:04 am

carleekat

well...sorry mum..not THAT far in us....across the river..us

8:04 am

NonoNanette

its good news for you Carlee but not for us :(

8:04 am

Mom

:-)

8:05 am

carleekat

not really..means our gas going to skyrocket...

8:05 am

NonoNanette

ours already is!

8:05 am

Mom

$2.79/gal here

8:05 am

carleekat

ours is 1.05/l...that 4.20 a gal

8:05 am

NonoNanette

they tell us price is stabalizing and it starts climbing up again

8:06 am

Mom

cough!

8:06 am

carleekat

urs honey is CHEAP

8:06 am

carleekat

so..at that rate..with our $ stronger...for u to buy gas here is about 6.45/gallon

8:07 am

carleekat

4.45/ gallon

8:07 am

carleekat

sorry..typo... didnt mean to scare y'all

8:07 am

Mom

wow, I would hate to pay that for gasoline

8:07 am

NonoNanette

and the government has the gaul to not give seniors on social security a raise for the second year in a row

8:08 am

Mom

I read that Nono, but you might still get a $250 bonus

8:08 am

NonoNanette

possibly Mom but I have my doubts

8:09 am

Mom

me too, but there was a piece in the newspaper about it

8:09 am

Soodle

In this godforsaken country - they are introducing cuts for all social welfare recipients....

8:10 am

Mom

it is just pitiful

8:10 am

NonoNanette

Soodle is social welfare something that you pay for when you work like our Social Security?

8:11 am

Soodle

Its the state pension - which you contribute to during your working life. All existing civil servants have taken a 10% cut - with more forecast. Its a disaster

8:12 am

NonoNanette

oh that just is not right!

8:12 am

carleekat

this grid is a disaster

8:13 am

carleekat

this grid is not right

8:13 am

Judi

Good morning, all.

8:13 am

NonoNanette

carlee the grid tells me just what it is in two directions :(

8:13 am

carleekat

hi judi

8:13 am

Mom

morning Judi

8:13 am

NonoNanette

morning Judi

8:13 am

Judi

Oh, Soodle. That's just wrong on so many levels.

8:14 am

Soodle

I honestly can't see how this country is going to get out of this financial crisis. We are bailing out corrupt bankers, and neglecting the ordinary decent folk.

8:14 am

NonoNanette

the same thing has been happening here Soodle and it has to stop

8:14 am

Judi

Welcome to the club. It seems to be a trend. They're doing it here, but the rebellion is in the making.

8:15 am

carleekat

fortunately here....our banking laws...we didnt have the corrupt bankers to bail out...but our health care is spiralling out of control

8:15 am

Mom

phew got the gr 9!

8:15 am

EvaNadine

i categorically refuse to believe that there are any words in this grid longer than 5 letters.

8:15 am

carleekat

its rather barren isnt it mom?

8:16 am

Mom

it is indeed, Carlee

8:16 am

Soodle

Aaargh.... there's a gr9????

8:16 am

carleekat

think of what a mudhole is for the gr9

8:16 am

Mom

it is a compound word Soodle .... another word for lawn + not more

8:16 am

carleekat

uses all those snakelike letters

8:16 am

NonoNanette

good clue Carlee

8:17 am

carleekat

a yard full of weeds would be this too

8:17 am

Soodle

Thanks guys :-)

8:18 am

EvaNadine

ok, i believe that there is ONE word longer than 5 letters. ;)

8:18 am

Mom

:0

8:19 am

carleekat

grade 12 bio lab to a frog is in here to..although we did faetal pigs

8:20 am

Mom

thanks Carlee

8:20 am

carleekat

and when we are sad we are filled with so6..those all my words over 5 letters thus far

8:21 am

EvaNadine

ok, fine carlee. 3 words over 5 letters. ;)

8:21 am

jmcnrick

ty car

8:21 am

Mom

thanks Carlee

8:21 am

jmcnrick

all excited evan?

8:22 am

Mom

and if you ignore someone you di** them and make it plural

8:22 am

EvaNadine

if by excited, you mean exhausted and ready for all the planning to be over, then sure!
;)

8:22 am

jmcnrick

are we all going to post out wedding pics tomorrow to celebrate with you?

8:22 am

Mom

I can do that, jmc and good morning

8:23 am

NonoNanette

playing around on the floor might be wr7/8 combo

8:23 am

EvaNadine

wedding is next weekend.
but i think people were supposed to change their icons yesterday...
didnt see too many -- not many people change their icons on a regular basis these days...

8:23 am

jmcnrick

i wax and wane on that

8:23 am

Mom

thans Nono

8:24 am

jmcnrick

weds was surprising relatives but i was on the road

8:24 am

jmcnrick

so yesterday was wedding pics?

8:24 am

EvaNadine

hints for the top S or the bottom O?

8:24 am

jmcnrick

*scratches heads*

8:24 am

NonoNanette

drop the first letter on that wr combo for another pair

8:25 am

EvaNadine

yes, i think so, jmc.
i believe they are doing them again on wedding day (next saturday) but sprite had made that yesterdays theme so i could actually see them...
oh well!

8:26 am

NonoNanette

pl what you call the other girl in your family... not your mother, Eva

8:26 am

jmcnrick

hmm i don't think i have one on this laptop

8:26 am

jmcnrick

maybe i can find it on the laptop in my room and post it at lunch time

8:26 am

NonoNanette

all my wedding pics floated away in a flood or I would post them

8:27 am

Mom

oh nono, that is terrible

8:28 am

NonoNanette

pictures were the worse loss of all in the flood Mom, things can be replaced but not so easy to do with pictures

8:28 am

jmcnrick

i have very few because my photographer misloaded his camera

8:28 am

jmcnrick

but relatives took some

8:28 am

jmcnrick

nono are there not friends and family members with copies?

8:29 am

jmcnrick

or if it were a professional photographer they often keep the negatives

8:29 am

NonoNanette

unfortunately not jmc A friend took all the photos and even gave us the negatives with them. So even they are gone

8:29 am

jmcnrick

oh too bad

8:30 am

jmcnrick

that would be hard

8:30 am

NonoNanette

I have the memories in my head and have to live with that I guess

8:30 am

EvaNadine

one of the bonuses of this day of digital photography -- no negatives to lose. just have to be sure to have the images loaded onto at least the hard drive, but preferably a website. then they are at least relatively safe...

8:30 am

Mom

((nono))

8:31 am

EvaNadine

nono -- you should treat yourself to some make-up wedding photos. :)

8:31 am

jmcnrick

that is true nono

8:31 am

NonoNanette

a website is best Eva. Hard drives die, and discs can be lost etc.

8:31 am

jmcnrick

what a good idea eva

8:31 am

NonoNanette

Eva, kind of hard to do with hubby no longer living

8:32 am

jmcnrick

hmmm well there is that! lol sorry!

8:33 am

EvaNadine

::open mouth, insert foot::

8:33 am

NonoNanette

it's ok hun. You didn't know

8:33 am

jmcnrick

but it was a good idea evan just an issue with facts

8:33 am

carleekat

sorry all..am on chat with a bestie gf..just gotten back from here wedding trip to vegas

8:34 am

NonoNanette

congrats to your friend Carlee

8:35 am

9:19 am

carleekat

{{{TRIFS}}} how are u honey?

9:19 am

Trifioso

wallowing today carlee, but then that's it. one day of jabba the hutt, and then on with my life. thanks for asking

9:20 am

Anniebrook

trif, what is happening today?

9:20 am

Trifioso

i am being sad today. on purpose. I went to court for my divorce yesterday. so that's it. 20 years, snuffed out.

9:21 am

Vicuna

It's right to have grief, Trif.

9:21 am

Trifioso

i am surprised how sad I am. i thought most of this was behind me. but today. sadness. huge

9:22 am

Vicuna

Then eventually - maybe a long eventually - you'll be able to mine the experience instead of considering it wasted.

9:22 am

Anniebrook

Trif, I completely understand. Sadness is part of it. Have a good cry. We are all with you.

9:24 am

Anniebrook

It was not wasted...you have 3 beautiful children.

9:24 am

Trifioso

how strange, and how amazing, to think the best, most supportive people I know in my life right now are you all - people I don't even really now.

9:24 am

Trifioso

know, even

9:25 am

carleekat

u mised my comment yesterday trifs..u left to quickly..i said "wallow as much as u need...dig ur toes in there..and squish about in the midst of it...sink up to ur chin...and let urself totally submerge urself in ur wallowing.....its part of grieving...and if u deny urself this stage of it..the longer it will take u to move on

9:25 am

carleekat

( and remember those words for when i need them pls)

9:25 am

Trifioso

thanks carlee. I have somewhere to go at one today, and was invited out for drinks tonight, but yeah. I think wallowing is in order

9:25 am

jmcnrick

*bounce*

9:26 am

jmcnrick

how can you say you don't really know us?!?!?!

9:26 am

Vicuna

Hello, jmc.

9:26 am

jmcnrick

hi vic

9:26 am

carleekat

yeap..babble is a great place

9:27 am

jmcnrick

we share births deaths weddings job changes

9:27 am

jmcnrick

and my meetings ;-)

9:27 am

Anniebrook

jmc, Wow! Is that Frederick Douglass in your icon?

9:28 am

Vicuna

On-line is weird. In some ways we know more intimate things about each other and in other ways we know nothing.

9:29 am

jmcnrick

yes annie he is my son's great great uncle

9:29 am

carleekat

pretty much..yes... its tru vic

9:29 am

jmcnrick

his second wife was my m-i-l's great aunt

9:29 am

jmcnrick

that is why i like the babble meet ups

9:29 am

Anniebrook

jmc, quite an impressive relative to have

9:29 am

Vicuna

Cool, jmc.

9:30 am

Vicuna

I've only ever met two other Babblers, not counting the ones I introduced to the game.

9:31 am

Vicuna

But anyone in the Boston area is welcome to come meet me at one of my several shows coming up! lol

9:31 am

debjed

I need help with the bottom O, please :)

9:32 am

debjed

good morning everyone

9:33 am

Vicuna

(And one of those, wht, I didn't meet as a Babbler, so he doesn't know I'm Vicuna anyway. lol)

9:33 am

Vicuna

od5 - a kind of poet

9:34 am

debjed

thank you very much!!

9:35 am

jmcnrick

wht is here vic

9:35 am

Vicuna

Where? *looks around*

9:36 am

jmcnrick

hi kelcy what specifically do you need

9:36 am

jmcnrick

he is here at the board meeting where i am

9:36 am

jmcnrick

this is actually where i sucked him into babble

9:36 am

jmcnrick

he is speakingnow

9:37 am

Vicuna

Oh, lol. You're responsible - well done! Does he know you're Babbling as he speaks?

9:37 am

jmcnrick

he wouldn't be surprised

9:37 am

Vicuna

I'm sure he wouldn't! =D

9:37 am

jmcnrick

he was reading a two sentence report about a school in belize

9:38 am

jmcnrick

so i am surprised he has not made the connection

9:39 am

GerardB

fireworks

9:39 am

Vicuna

Yay for GerardB!

9:39 am

jmcnrick

wtg gerard

9:40 am

Vicuna

Well, I suppose he may have made the connection, but on the occasion when I made the connection we didn't really get a chance to talk.

9:41 am

Vicuna

Plus I'm not very active in the yearly meeting, so he's less likely to know who I am in any case.

9:41 am

jmcnrick

oh so you are a Friend?

9:41 am

Vicuna

Yeah.

9:41 am

Vicuna

I thought I'd mentioned that!

9:42 am

jmcnrick

we are both at FUM general board

9:42 am

jmcnrick

maybe several people in babble are Friends or near-Friends

9:43 am

msideb01

Makes you wonder what that's doing to us as a culture, huh? Online identities, Babble identities, real life identities... intriguing.

9:43 am

Vicuna

I'm trying to think whether anyone from my meeting is there, too.

9:44 am

Vicuna

It is a strange phenomenon to be sure, msideb.

9:45 am

jmcnrick

well it is not new to have different communities which may or may not overlap

9:46 am

Vicuna

I think it's great having contact with all sorts of people I would not normally rub shoulders with in the real world.

9:47 am

jmcnrick

me too!

9:47 am

jmcnrick

lots of military families here

9:47 am

rururocks

what's a near-friend?

9:47 am

Vicuna

But it's a strange kind of contact where I don't actually have to engage with people. If things get frustrating, people just melt away and come back later when it's simmered down. Both good and bad in that.

9:47 am

jmcnrick

some one who does not belong or regularly attend a meeting but self-identifies

9:48 am

jmcnrick

i just made it up as a term

9:48 am

jmcnrick

my hubby was a near-friend when i met him

9:48 am

jmcnrick

and hi ru

9:48 am

Vicuna

Should be "near-Friend" with a capital. Near-Quaker

9:49 am

Vicuna

and hello, ruru.

9:49 am

jmcnrick

the ability to walk away is an important skill to practice

9:49 am

msideb01

True, definitely different than having different friend groups. Being able to engage without, perhaps the word would be direct consequences, is certainly something that can be comforting. AN online community is of course the perfect medium for it.

9:49 am

Vicuna

Yes, but practicing it in the faceless on-line is very different from practicing it in person.

9:50 am

Vicuna

Walking away, I refer to

9:50 am

jmcnrick

it is easier to walk away here but it is a first step in learning how to do it in person

9:51 am

rururocks

I've only met one babble person in person.. and it was really fun.. and we had a lot to talk about and lots in common

9:51 am

jmcnrick

well i tried when i was in SF ru but you were busy!

9:51 am

rururocks

me being so shy and all..

9:51 am

jmcnrick

or maybe i was not clear enough

9:51 am

Vicuna

Anyway, speaking of walking away - I really do need to go! Must pack up the car for show set-up this afternoon. But don't take it personally! lol ;)

9:52 am

rururocks

well I would love to meet you on your next visit out here.

9:52 am

jmcnrick

lol have fun vic i am going to ask wht about you and your art work ;-)

9:52 am

jmcnrick

i will be there again for sure ru

9:53 am

rururocks

I can find things to do and hook up with you easily.

9:54 am

rururocks

brb.. need to get coffee

9:59 am

rururocks

is Vic an artist

10:00 am

jmcnrick

yes ru the issue is that i am at a meeting with wht and vic didn't know if he had made the connection with her as a person (whom he knows) and her babble persona

10:00 am

herinfernallady

huh

10:01 am

jmcnrick

hi herin

10:01 am

rururocks

wow.. that's funny

10:01 am

herinfernallady

crap so much for stealthy. Hi everyone

10:01 am

jmcnrick

sorry to hear you didn't get the job :-(

10:01 am

jmcnrick

*giggle* were you trying to sneak in?

10:01 am

rururocks

HI herin

10:02 am

herinfernallady

JM I am still really pissed off about it. I just can't believe they would hire someone that lacks initiative, no time skills and is a totally brain dead waste of space. Seriously some of the stupid things she has said hurts my hed

10:03 am

jmcnrick

i don't blame u

10:03 am

jmcnrick

but sometimes professional people are threatened by smart support staff

10:04 am

jmcnrick

but then you don't want to work for someone who would spend their time being threatened and trying to squelch you

10:05 am

herinfernallady

Well that is true but this is hit the point of why bother trying they are all going to have the same lame excuse

10:06 am

rururocks

I missed a lot of stupid words in this grid

10:06 am

jmcnrick

are you done ru?

10:06 am

rururocks

no

10:06 am

rururocks

but now with the list I see how dumb I am

10:06 am

jmcnrick

lol poor ru

10:07 am

jmcnrick

herin i don't quite get your comment

10:07 am

herinfernallady

right It is time for this little black duck to go to bed. Night all

10:07 am

thehoffs

gio r

10:07 am

jmcnrick

sleep well herin

10:07 am

herinfernallady

nights

10:07 am

jmcnrick

your job will open to you

10:07 am

rururocks

sorry to hear things did not work out herin

10:08 am

jmcnrick

hi thehoffs

10:08 am

rururocks

I hate interviewing for jobs

10:08 am

jmcnrick

are you folding at home thehoffs

10:08 am

rururocks

I am glad I work for myself

10:08 am

jmcnrick

i hope to have one soon ruru

10:09 am

jmcnrick

but I can only apply for jobs that i will be the boss

10:09 am

rururocks

did your current job end?

10:10 am

jmcnrick

no i am stepping down because i am ready to move on

10:10 am

rururocks

wouldn't it have been better to have something else lined up first in this horrible economy?

10:10 am

jmcnrick

my last day will be next summer

10:11 am

rururocks

oh..you have plenty of time then

10:11 am

jmcnrick

well i thought about that but my board needed the time to plan too

10:11 am

jmcnrick

i have applied to several and so far no one is interested in me

10:11 am

rururocks

you could also practice law though no?

10:11 am

jmcnrick

but the worst thing that will happen is I spractice law

10:12 am

jmcnrick

exactly

10:12 am

rururocks

why are you ready to move on.. ?

10:12 am

jmcnrick

but i really don't want to do that anymore

10:13 am

rururocks

being a lawyer seems to be like cramming for exams all the time

10:14 am

jmcnrick

i can't really say except that i see that i am starting the downside of the crest of my enthusiasm and ability to do the job and i care enough about the organization to want the best for it

10:15 am

rururocks

that's honest

10:15 am

rururocks

good for you

10:15 am

jmcnrick

that is what makes being a lawyer interesting ru ;-)

10:16 am

jmcnrick

i have seen too many orgs struggle because their leader stayed too long

10:17 am

rururocks

bb in a minute.. have to let the dogs out.

10:18 am

Nef

good morning.

10:18 am

jmcnrick

hi nef

10:21 am

Nef

I'd heard yesterday that you were looking for a new job. NOW I understand

10:21 am

Nef

(Just caught up with the chat)

10:22 am

Nef

How long have you been doing this, jmc?

10:22 am

jmcnrick

ah i am glad i don't have to say that all again!

10:22 am

jmcnrick

11+ years

10:23 am

Nef

Do you feel like you've hit the ceiling, or just that your enthusiasm has dropped?

10:23 am

jmcnrick

i would say i have peaked

10:24 am

jmcnrick

i want to leave them will good memories of me! lol

10:24 am

Nef

and there is now way to go sideways or depth-wise to make this work for you?

10:25 am

jmcnrick

there are other people who can take the org forward and that is what i want

10:26 am

Nef

If there is no further chance of growth for you and the org together; then it is best to move on

10:26 am

Nef

What are you interested in doing in your next *life*? ;-)

10:26 am

jmcnrick

i think it is possible but unlikely

10:27 am

jmcnrick

i am cle** that i need to move on

10:27 am

Nef

it sounds like you see potential in the org. under new leadership too

10:28 am

jmcnrick

i do

10:28 am

Nef

that's good.

10:28 am

rururocks

don't introduce them to babble..lol

10:29 am

jmcnrick

lol

10:29 am

Nef

LOL, ruru!

10:29 am

10:30 am

Hi fellow babblers!

10:32 am

jmcnrick

hi ruby and beach

10:33 am

rubyfoo

jmc, I will be following your career move with great interest and hope!

10:33 am

rubyfoo

I felt that way when I was a teacher and then moved on..... that was many years ago

10:33 am

rubyfoo

hello beach, it's been a while

10:34 am

jmcnrick

lol well i hope you hope into the right job

10:34 am

Nef

I never would have dreamt that I would end up where I currently am when I started my job hunt 4 years ago. I had an OTJ foot injury that meant no more hospital nursing for me (after 34 years in CV-ICU; the love of my life). I *thought* I'd found a perfect job in triage telephone nursing; but it was horrid! I was out job hunting again in 8 months, but didn't quit the triage job. I kept looking for CV nursing; but this job as Manager of a small prenatal clinic came up and I went for "interview practice" only! 3 More interviews with them and they offered me the job.

10:34 am

rubyfoo

I have huge confidence in you, jmc!

10:34 am

Erda

help on as6,33 please?

10:35 am

beachboggle

Hi Ruby, it certainly has been!

10:35 am

Erda

NM -- got it

10:35 am

Nef

I fought tooth and nail for them NOT to hire me; but I'm loving this job and am challenged every day! I just went from one end of life to the other!

10:35 am

rururocks

butt dimensions erda

10:35 am

rubyfoo

when I quit teaching, my wonderful dad said "I have great confidence in you' you can do anything" It made all the difference when I changed fields and went into unknown territory

10:36 am

Erda

LOL on your definition, ruru !!!

10:36 am

rubyfoo

butt dimensions....hmm....my butt has no dimensions

10:37 am

10:47 am

jmcnrick

i am a carribian anphibian; i am a frog with a calypso beat

10:47 am

rubyfoo

is that a thyroid disease?

10:47 am

jmcnrick

too bad sea

10:47 am

SeaSpray

Half Moon Cay, St. Thomas, Grand Turk, etc. Crusin you see

10:48 am

rubyfoo

controllable with meds?

10:48 am

rubyfoo

I once went on a womanship cruise and taught everybody to salsa!

10:48 am

SeaSpray

I was devastated Jmc, but he is 14 and yes he is on medication now to try to control it...Tumor in the Pituitary they say

10:49 am

SeaSpray

He has been on 4 different meds in as many months and they finally were able to diagnose it

10:50 am

beachboggle

Oh Sea, can't imagine! I have a Cairn (my little darling!) very close relationship to Westie.... they are so dear

10:50 am

rubyfoo

what were the symptoms?

10:50 am

jmcnrick

it is hard regardless of how old

10:50 am

SeaSpray

I have had him since he was 8 weeks old, he is like my 3rd child

10:50 am

SeaSpray

Cairns are such cuties

10:51 am

rubyfoo

easy to understand feeling that way

10:51 am

beachboggle

That is about the age Cosmo was when we got him; he is 6 this month

10:51 am

SeaSpray

But, I will continue to be his nurse and hope for the best

10:52 am

rubyfoo

dinner, see you later

10:52 am

beachboggle

I will be hoping with you; are meds helping at all?

10:52 am

jmcnrick

bye ruby

10:54 am

SeaSpray

Just got him started on the one for this disease on Wednesday, but he seems perkier already. Research tells me it could take weeks and even months before I notice visible improvement of his skin and coat, the execssive drinking should subside in a few weeks

10:54 am

SeaSpray

Bye ruby

10:55 am

jmcnrick

*imagines a drunk westie*

10:56 am

SeaSpray

Funny you should say that jmc, when I first got him my sister in law sat a White Russian on the floor beside her chair and he drank it, he was a little tipsy to say the least...we often laugh about it

10:56 am

jmcnrick

lol

10:58 am

jmcnrick

10:59 am

SeaSpray

11:00 am

11:33 am

crosshair

volunteering is fine as long as you do not need an income to live lol

11:33 am

Nancy Boy

11:33 am

carleekat

11:33 am

crosshair

11:34 am

11:34 am

carleekat

i amthinking of going back to school.....get my teaching degree..just unsure of the job market when i get done...i work with kids and dont get paid...they keep coming back to me...so..i figure i might as well get paid to do it

11:34 am

Nancy Boy

I can't act! Last time I acted was in a school play of Macbeth. And my beard got caught in the swordfight and propelled into the audience.

11:35 am

Nancy Boy

Besides, I looked like Mincing Macbeth, the campest man in Scotland.

11:35 am

hurshy

but there isn't a lot of flirting in macbeth

11:35 am

hurshy

you need to try something more modern

11:35 am

Nancy Boy

::sideways tackles NB with snoggins::

11:38 am

Nancy Boy

gidday Eva :)

11:38 am

EvaNadine

hola, allo, and hullo!

11:38 am

EvaNadine

id offer you some of my sushi, my dearest, but you wouldnt have the crab, im afraid...

11:39 am

carleekat

man it must suck for young people trying to figureo ut what to do... i am still trying to figure that one out

11:40 am

EvaNadine

carlee, i think it is rare for people to figure out what they want to do, pursue it, and actually make a living in that field.
i think most of us study something, find a job decent enough to pay off our loans/bills, and fall into something...

thats how it is for me, at least. i was an english major, and here i am doing software testing.
who knew?

11:40 am

hurshy

but eva, do you HATE your job?

11:40 am

Nancy Boy

I was contemplating trying to make some vegan sushi. Sounds like a new challenge ;)

11:41 am

EvaNadine

dont hate, dont love.
some days i quite enjoy it, some days i dread coming here.
there have definitely been times when i have hated it. but i look on the bright side -- working here affords me enough freedom to do things that i do love.

11:41 am

jmcnrick

vegan sushi is a california roll i think

11:41 am

EvaNadine

NB, sounds yummy!
i get the veggie roll from time to time, and its quite yummy!

11:42 am

hurshy

cause i'm not so picky that i want something fabulous that i love - i just want something that doesn't make me want to kill myself.

11:42 am

EvaNadine

jmc -- california roll has crab or imitation crab (which is made from fish)
not vegan.

11:42 am

jmcnrick

oh

11:42 am

jmcnrick

not the ones i get

11:42 am

EvaNadine

same for me, hurshy. :)

11:42 am

Nancy Boy

LOL Hurshy. I want a job where I don't get groped or deafened ;)

11:42 am

carleekat

i cant like any job....i am not picky... i just cant handle a boss who wants to throw me under the bus to save his or her own reputation

11:43 am

rururocks

I want a job where i get groped

11:43 am

carleekat

can like*

11:43 am

hurshy

well ruru, that's real easy then...

11:43 am

Nancy Boy

By randy guys, Ruru?

11:43 am

Nancy Boy

It's actually pretty easy to make vegan sushi, I think.

11:43 am

mummy

spooky, I have just come in from work, moaning about a simple typo in draft letter that my director had a go at me abouT and then I just saw hurshy's response to Eva! my name is Eve! so you could have been talking about me, and yest tonight on a Friday I do hate my job! better buy a lottery ticket this weekend!

11:44 am

rururocks

no.. not by Randy guys

11:44 am

EvaNadine

id think being groped wouldnt be SO bad.
hehe

11:44 am

EvaNadine

but im with you, carlee.
i hate managers you screw you to save their own arse.

11:44 am

carleekat

being groped would be horrid

11:44 am

hurshy

so do regular porn, then, ruru.

11:45 am

mummy

yes, you can see why the director had a go at me, typo's al over the place!

11:45 am

EvaNadine

cant win if ya dont play, mummy.
:)

11:45 am

rururocks

<--- not into porn unfortunately

11:45 am

hurshy

well that's the only job i can think of that primarily involves groping

11:45 am

rururocks

and certainly don't want to see Brett Favres dirty texts

11:46 am

carleekat

waiter/ waitress at a bar

11:46 am

carleekat

more groping

11:46 am

carleekat

ok..i have to go pick up mail...reg letter came yesterday but missed the post..likely divorce paperwork crap

11:47 am

rururocks

oh wow.. sorry to hear that carlee

11:47 am

carleekat

its ok...i hate the process..wnt the outcime

11:48 am

carleekat

come*

11:48 am

hurshy

here's a particular problem. when i am most miserable at my job i am inclined to apply to other things. but when i am that miserable, i can't write a good cover letter. all i can think to say is "please somebody get me out of here"

11:48 am

carleekat

back in a few unlessi have to go to lawyers officce

11:48 am

hurshy

and HOW does anybody ever move UP when everything requires so much experience doing the thing you're applying to do???

11:48 am

EvaNadine

i hear ya, hurshy.
maybe try writing the cover letter on a good day?
then its all done and ready to send out on the bad days...

11:49 am

hurshy

you can't apply for a position that involves supervising other people without extensive supervisory experience...

11:49 am

hurshy

it's ridiculous.

11:50 am

EvaNadine

play up anything you have ever done that involves any sort of management/supervision whatsoever.
ever led a team that did something?

11:50 am

hurshy

i've tried doing that, eva, but it didn't work.

11:51 am

hurshy

i wish people didn't ask for cover letters

11:51 am

EvaNadine

hang in there.
its tough, i know...

11:52 am

hurshy

and i wish they wouldn't ask why you want to leave your current job, or what your goals are

11:52 am

hurshy

it's not fair to those of us who just hate our jobs and whose only goal is to pay the mortgage.

11:53 am

Kaplan the Magne

Phantom Gossips? Just got back from a call to jury duty- they never pick me, but what a long morning!

11:53 am

EvaNadine

maybe they would appreciate your honesty?

11:53 am

EvaNadine

::shrug::

11:53 am

hurshy

hey, i did that yesterday, kaplan!

11:53 am

EvaNadine

has NB gone off to make us all some veggie sushi??

11:54 am

Kaplan the Magne

They alsways ask if my work would make it hard for me to be impartial, and I always say yes.

11:54 am

hurshy

i didn't even get to voir dire :(

11:54 am

hurshy

i was SO hoping to get on a jury, just for something interesting to do.

11:55 am

Kaplan the Magne

It was a criminal case. The defendant looked like bad news.

11:56 am

Kaplan the Magne

How could someone get a fair trial with a fece like that?

11:56 am

Kaplan the Magne

Face- not fece!!!

11:56 am

Kaplan the Magne

Jeez!

11:57 am

Kaplan the Magne

It looks like even if youse speak Brooklynese, woid is not a woid.

11:57 am

EvaNadine

i had to do duty a few months ago.
got to voire dire, but thankfully got dismissed and was allowed to go home.

12:02 pm

hurshy

it's not fair, hardly anyone WANTS jury duty, and i do, and i don't even make it to voir dire.

12:03 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

halo, kids! tough grid?? looks it!

12:05 pm

EvaNadine

im over halfway, george, but then i puttered out...

12:05 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh yeah?

12:05 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

not got much time, seeing what I can do!

12:06 pm

12:06 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

12:07 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

ooh, just found a few big long words!!

12:17 pm

rubyfoo

hello again

12:20 pm

rubyfoo

hurshy, I got my last (and best) job by pretending to be an expert and asking everybody I knew in the field for chunks of their expertise.

12:20 pm

rubyfoo

I wrote an elaborate marketing study without ever having done any marketing!

12:24 pm

mummy

I have now realised that the best job I've ever had was a housewife and mother. No-one to tell you what to do, or when to do it, and when the kids went to school it was great to have 'me-time' something I get very little of now.

12:25 pm

rubyfoo

my husband thinks that is what women do best, stay home and take care of their children

12:25 pm

rubyfoo

I had no choice but to go out into the horrible world of sales -- had to support a kid etc

12:27 pm

mummy

It's ok if you have enough money to be able to stay at home. we really struggled for the first five or six years. At one stage we were tossing a coin to see which bill got paid, then my husbank bought home some work for me to do and that lead to a few odd jobs now and then which kept our heada above water.

12:27 pm

Jellen

Hello...

12:28 pm

mummy

hi jellen, how are you today?

12:28 pm

12:32 pm

rururocks

12:32 pm

mummy

ha ha ruru!

12:32 pm

rubyfoo

creeping thyme is the best solution for lawns, but my husband won't let me plant it

12:32 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

well if your 'lawn' area was only dirt, it would be gr9/66 wouldn't it??

12:32 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh yeah, ruru beat me to it while I was tweeting!

12:33 pm

rubyfoo

or youw could paint the dirt green

12:33 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh, just the gr5, yeah

12:33 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

what you should find on a lawn!

1:00 pm

carleekat

my first love was scottish....and it ruined me....forever...tall...black hair..swarthy skin...blue eyes....played football...so had the ass and legs to go with it...was a firefighter...and god...the accent...looked absolutely delish in his kilt

1:01 pm

rubyfoo

1:01 pm

jacq

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

1:01 pm

Soodle

Carlee - you let him get away????

1:01 pm

rubyfoo

1:02 pm

Soodle

Have you looked for him on Facebook, Carlee?

1:02 pm

carleekat

first consideration..the accent..it turns me into a puddle

1:02 pm

1:02 pm

Soodle

Rofl Carlee

1:03 pm

rubyfoo

we are closely following your story, soodle!

1:04 pm

jacq

1:04 pm

rubyfoo

I almost married a Frenchman in '78, but his mother changed my mind

1:04 pm

jacq

1:06 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

1:06 pm

jacq

when she was ill in hospital i used to go with home made food every lunch-time because she wouldn;t eat for anyone else, even after her son and i split up

1:06 pm

jacq

i think it was because i stood up to her george

1:06 pm

rubyfoo

when I went to stay with them, prior to getting engaged, she asked if there were any food s I didn't eat. I (innocently) said "rabbit" so we had rabbit every day of my visit

1:07 pm

2:14 pm

Jellen

I am fine, Nef...need to get stuff done today, and I'm going to a concert tonight...

2:14 pm

2:20 pm

carleekat

2:20 pm

Jellen

Oh, yum, carlee!

2:21 pm

Nef

Jellen, about the only type of music I don't like is twangy country western. I love everything else.

2:21 pm

While I was emptying my kitchen cabinets, I found some single malt scotch I got when I was last in Scotland...

2:22 pm

carleekat

2:22 pm

Nef

hey, carleekat; things going better for you? That sounds like an interesting addition to the apple crisp!

2:22 pm

2:22 pm

MollyL

*Molly gets out two shot glasses for her and Jellen*

2:23 pm

Nef

So EvaN, you still do play Babble; just no time for chat?

2:24 pm

EvaNadine

Jellen

2:25 pm

carleekat

2:27 pm

Nef

(((carleekat))) Hmmm, I'll have to see if we have any whiskey and try that. I was thinking some rhubarb apple crisp sounded good this AM

2:27 pm

carleekat

2:27 pm

carleekat

i wouldnt put with mixed fruit..just apple

2:29 pm

Nef

2:30 pm

carleekat

2:30 pm

carleekat

just cut into 1 inch chunks...toss in a zip loc..and freeze

2:30 pm

Jellen

I love rhubarb, particularly in strawberry/rhubarb pie!

2:30 pm

Nef

2:31 pm

carleekat

i like it stewed

2:31 pm

carleekat

and rhubarb pie

2:32 pm

Nef

2:33 pm

cosdem

di7?

2:33 pm

Nef

Kian always wanted it straight from the garden. He'd start by biting the stalk in the middle and suck all the juice out. He used to give me the dry stringy stuff back once he got all the juice

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

6:00 pm

Joanne123

6:01 pm

herinfernallady

Hi. I am officially an Aunt

6:01 pm

welki

if no one claims her (and the person ahead of me on the list passes her over) .. yes yes yes!! i sure hope we can adopt her!! (like i need another dog .. i do! i do!)

6:01 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

how many have ya got now, welki??

6:01 pm

Nef

Joanne, bok choy has some other names, I believe. Is it Chinese cabbage or Napa maybe?

6:01 pm

welki

2 dogs and a cat, george

6:01 pm

Bugsaw

YAY herein. What did you get?

6:02 pm

6:02 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

Joanne123

6:02 pm

welki

6:02 pm

Nef

YAY, herin!!! Boy or girl?? How big?

6:02 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

Staffies, they're gorgeous and such good dogs!!

6:02 pm

herinfernallady

I got a 9pound 11ounce baby girl as my new snuggle and spoil gift from the fates

6:03 pm

Jellen

Congrats, herin

6:03 pm

Bugsaw

what a huge baby! does she have a name yet?

6:03 pm

Nef

Joanne, I would wonder what bok choy could possibly mean in Chinese

6:04 pm

welki

i like staffs and pitties ... however, there is breed discrimination (real and perceived) throughout Canada. can't get it through folks' heads that it's the owner, not the dog, that is ultimately responsible for the dogs' behaviours

6:04 pm

Joanne123

ohhh congrats herin

6:04 pm

herinfernallady

Reilly. And her middle names are from mum and dads side. I am so supper happy. I have to wait to see her though

6:04 pm

welki

how long, herin, until you see her?

6:05 pm

Joanne123

nef i think my boss is just being an ass and saying someone found it offensive

6:05 pm

herinfernallady

Welki are Staffies banned there?

6:05 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, bloody sad that, welki!!

6:05 pm

herinfernallady

Welki not sure

6:05 pm

welki

in some municipalities (not here, in calgary)

6:06 pm

Nef

Congrats, herin. When will you get to see her?

6:06 pm

Joanne123

dogs are banned because of people, not dogs

6:07 pm

Nef

Joanne, I'd be very careful about it then. Someon could mistake it for work place harassment

6:07 pm

welki

our responsible animal ownership bylaw has been adopted by many canadian municipalities .. because it addresses owner responsibility

6:07 pm

herinfernallady

Wow Welki the thing with Staffies are they are a great dog. Pitbulls not so much. Should be more baning of people

6:07 pm

herinfernallady

Not sure when I see the baby

6:07 pm

herinfernallady

But I am glad I bought all size 1s for her

6:07 pm

welki

we have the lowest stray euthanasia rate in north america because of our strict licensing policy (for cats and dogs)

6:08 pm

Nef

good thing herin! My son was 9 12 when he was born, I don't think he even was in newborn clothes at birth

6:09 pm

Joanne123

i'm not to worried nef, i have something in my hip pocket

6:09 pm

herinfernallady

That is good Welki. I am all for rescues or responsible breeding.

6:09 pm

Nef

Joanne, how do** the young man react when you say it to him?

6:10 pm

herinfernallady

Nef I went into a baby clothes store and the lady behind the counter said that 0 was for about 6 months. My friends kid is 6mths and in a 1 and she is not that big

6:11 pm

Nef

size 0 is tiny. I've never bought newborn clothes as gifts

6:12 pm

herinfernallady

I had to they were too cute not too. I got dinosaurs and I got one that said 'the force is strong in this one''

6:13 pm

herinfernallady

Welki you know that you are going to have to get the basset :D

6:13 pm

Nef

I like that, herin! Being your niece she will have a strong force! ;-)

6:14 pm

herinfernallady

I love the name Reilly it means courageous. It is a good strong name

6:14 pm

herinfernallady

And its good and Irish too

6:16 pm

Nef

is your heritage Irish, herin?

6:17 pm

welki

herin, if we're called, yesssss ... we're ready to adopt her. we've had bassets before, so know they're quirks and needs

6:17 pm

herinfernallady

awwww. Welki is she a rescue or just from a good breeder?

6:18 pm

herinfernallady

Nef I think so But I am adopted so possibly.

6:18 pm

Nef

what about your sis?

6:18 pm

welki

she was picked up by animal services wandering in the street

6:20 pm

welki

yipes ... we know their quirks/needs. sometimes my tongue gets in front of my eye teeth and i can't see what i'm typing/saying

6:21 pm

herinfernallady

awww Welk that would be wonderful. Sounds like fate to mee

6:21 pm

herinfernallady

6:22 pm

6:22 pm

Joanne123

6:22 pm

Joanne123

6:23 pm

Nef

6:23 pm

herinfernallady

Ok. I am an only child. I have 5 birth sisters

6:23 pm

welki

herinfernallady

Good luck Welki

6:25 pm

herinfernallady

Nef I was adopted as my birthmum was too young and my birthfather ran for the hills (must not talk ill of the dead though)

6:25 pm

Nef

Okay, herin. Here in the US, the birth sister would have the same mother, the child has a birth mother and an adoptive mother

6:26 pm

herinfernallady

I have one mum and one lady I am very grateful for giving my parents the gift of a child they couldn't have

6:27 pm

herinfernallady

That is the same here. Nef all teh girls have the same mum but different dads

6:27 pm

Nef

Oh. I'm getting even more confused trying to explain it! BUT Now I understand what YOU mean! :-)

6:28 pm

herinfernallady

By blood I am an aunt and sister.

6:30 pm

Joanne123

thank god i left for a few minutes...don't have the energy to figure it out

Okay I have a non-grid question for you...should I go alone to a bar called Hogs and Hot Rods if I'm not the the woman I had arranged to meet there will show?

9:53 pm

Pinikula

thx all...especially for that last clue! :)

9:53 pm

Jellen

if I'm not sure, that is...

9:53 pm

J. C.

Erm, Jellen? That doesn't make sense?

9:53 pm

J. C.

I'm with you up until this part - 'if I'm not the the woman I had arranged to meet there will show?'

9:53 pm

Pinikula

why not, jellen...

9:53 pm

Jellen

Sorry...let me start over...

9:54 pm

Nancy Boy

Dunno Jellen, when I hear 'bar' my immediate response is 'yes'.

9:54 pm

Pinikula

...can probably still have a good time whether she shows or not! :)

9:54 pm

J. C.

Sigh. :/

9:54 pm

Pinikula

down, NB, down! be good boy now! :) LOL

9:54 pm

J. C.

Quite, Pini. :/

9:54 pm

Pinikula

oh sorry

9:54 pm

Jellen

My friend, with whom I currently have a flirtation, is a drummer in a band. They are playing tomorrow night in a bar called Hogs and Hot Rods...

9:56 pm

Nef

Jellen, is the bar a biker bar? If so, I (myself) wouldn't go alone; but I'm pretty old-fashioned.

9:56 pm

Jellen

The woman I was supposed to meet there (so I wouldn't be there alone) is not sure she can make it...not sure if I'm brave enough to go to a bar where I will know no one, except a member of the band...

9:57 pm

Jellen

I've never been to the bar, but the guy who does my lawn says it seems fairly nice...

9:57 pm

J. C.

Well, you should probably do what you feel is right, for you - it's a hard one to answer. If you don't feel safe, then don't.

9:58 pm

Nef

If it isn't a biker bar, then I might go alone (depending on how I felt that night)

9:58 pm

Nancy Boy

Def go alone, they'll probably all turn out to be total sweethearts.

9:59 pm

J. C.

Well. Don't listen to me - what do I know?

Jellen

I'll probably be as old as most people's mother...

10:00 pm

J. C.

Then you'll probably be al right - is it in a decent part of town?

10:00 pm

Nef

There's a bar here called Hoggs Breath that I've always wanted to go to (for 38 years!) *just* to say I went there; but it's a biker bar and I've never dared to go there even with other people!

10:00 pm

Jellen

Think so, J.C.

10:01 pm

Pinikula

It's totally up to you, Jellen. If your friend isn't sure she's going to go and you want to, consider inviting another friend to join you; or call it a night and enjoy the company of Babblers and/or some other equally enjoyable activity.

10:03 pm

Pinikula

...on that note...NB, how are you coming along...need any clues?

10:03 pm

J. C.

Oh I'm cluing him, Pini - on MSN. ;)

Nancy Boy

Jellen, if you do end up going alone, just make sure you sit where you're clearly visible to the bar staff. they'll deal with any undesirables for you.

10:04 pm

J. C.

Yes - good idea.

10:05 pm

Jellen

Good idea, NB...

10:05 pm

Pinikula

Long week, stid?

stidmama

VERY long, jellen. and a long day today.

11:44 pm

Jellen

For me, too...although mine was not necessarily busy...

11:44 pm

stidmama

stayed an extra hour, recording the grades from something I am going over to make comments on this weekend. Wanted to be sure that I had the grades clear before I brought things home.

11:44 pm

stidmama

(((jellen)))

11:45 pm

stidmama

I am working hard on refining techniques, presentation and planning so that the end of the unit will be stronger than the beginning...

11:45 pm

Jellen

I've done something that may not be wise...

11:45 pm

stidmama

*listening ears on*

11:46 pm

Jellen

You're such a pro, stid!

11:46 pm

Jellen

I'm in the possible beginning stages of a relationship with a man...

11:47 pm

stidmama

oooh. I see,

11:47 pm

stidmama

and?

11:48 pm

Jellen

I think I'm ready. But I'm not really sure if I'm ready for this particular guy...

11:49 pm

Jellen

He's a workaholic and very independent...

11:49 pm

stidmama

that would be okay, jellen -- knowing what is right for you is not the same thing as finding what is right...

11:50 pm

stidmama

so -- dating is fun with this fellow?

11:50 pm

Jellen

But I really like him! On the other hand, I've only talked with him a couple of times, very briefly during the week...

11:50 pm

stidmama

it's okay to date with no expectations for more... and to see what develops over time.

11:51 pm

Jellen

We've only gone out to dinner as friends once, to a fast food place...

11:51 pm

stidmama

that's a fun dinner date! LOL Tom and I have been doing that some Fridays at a little sushi place near his work

11:52 pm

Jellen

He's a drummer for a rock band...I've seen his band play several times...

11:53 pm

stidmama

*puts in earplugs*

11:53 pm

Jellen

11:54 pm

Jellen

Can I give you any clues, or did I ruin your chance of finishing?

11:54 pm

stidmama

;-D

11:54 pm

stidmama

I was done.

11:54 pm

stidmama

Ready to go to sleep, but have missed you so, couldn't give up the chance to chat

11:55 pm

stidmama

are you sleeping better these days, then? and eating good food? *inspects for signs of too many sweets and not enough greens*

11:56 pm

Jellen

Well...I have been eating a lot of Lean Cuisine and Healthy Choice frozen dinners...

11:57 pm

stidmama

that's a start... I know you are not a person who enjoys cooking much

11:57 pm

stidmama

do you make and eat salads?

11:58 pm

stidmama

my grandmother who is no longer alive used to make wonderful salads (didn't like to cook much either) -- she would soften raisins in water (very old-fashioned european thing to do) and add those and sesame seeds to a mixed greens base and then she made a vinaigrette. they were delish

11:58 pm

stidmama

also very quick to make and healthy
