Hi Sami, Diz, Haz, and BabbleRabble. My icon today is the two feet of snow we are currently experiencing.

Good morning, Sally and Soodle. We are not alone.

I see BabbleRabble is feeling cheerful!
3:51 am

That's a lot of snow, Soodle. Hopefully your own feet aren't that cold?

Obviously this grid will be a doddle, already have two greyed squares, top left and top right :-))
3:52 am

Nice and snug indoors, Haz. But the roads are very very dangerous. My little car is iced in!

Sorry to hear that, Brookie. His loss.....
4:08 am
Brookie

That's true. It's just that I had finally found someone who was kid-friendly and whom my parents liked.
4:09 am
Brookie

He's clearly too picky.
4:09 am
Sally-catlover

Well when I was younger and dating, it was always a bad sign if my parents liked them :-)
4:09 am
lynxxx

good one Sally
4:09 am
Soodlebum

Were you with him long, Brookie?
4:10 am
Brookie

LOL, Sally. Unfortunately, my parents are normally right about these things. I was with him for just 5 months, but he seemed like a keeper.
4:11 am
Soodlebum

Well, he sure won't find another Brookie. Like I said....His loss!
4:11 am
FMitch

I've given up on the dating game. Decided that solo works for me but I am a lot older than you Brrokie so don't give up.
4:12 am
Brookie

I think I'm also upset (and sorry to keep going on about this) because I had taken a vacation day today to celebrate his birthday. If he knew he was going to end it, he could have spared me the vacation day.
4:12 am
Brookie

Okay, I'll stop talking about this now. I appreciate everyone's support, though. It means a lot!

4:37 am
Brookie

Thanks, herin. I will spend part of the day sleeping, as I've been up since 2:30 a.m. Plus, my eHarmony subscription hasn't expired yet (though it had been inactive for several months), so I'll conjure up some new interest.
4:37 am
Sally-catlover

Well think about it Brookie. Where else would there be someone to chat to 24/7, chocolate on demand with not a thought of your weight, jokes and hugs available at all times depending on your need? Would you get that in a mere man?
4:38 am
herinfernallady

I have some excellent news that will cheer you up.

4:46 am

I have a game running in the back ground.

When I say multi-tasking, I mean, keeping one eye on the grid, and one eye on the chog. It certainly has nothing do to with housework or feeding kids....

It was nice hearing from you!
4:47 am

It feeds off the ME 7/40, which is a bit of the brain. ME, opposite of bright, and vowel....
4:55 am

The me 10 builds from a 7 and 8 but I can't work out a decent clue yet.
4:56 am

I hope you got the ME 7..... if so, stick one of the Kennedy brothers at the end of it for the 10.

and thanks from me
5:04 am
Brookie

Okay, so I've now returned to eHarmony after a long hiatus. I reactivated my membership a FULL 3 hours ago... and I'm still not seeing results! Shouldn't all American men be up at 3 a.m. just waiting to hear from me? Hmmmph!
5:05 am
MollyL

Oh...I guess I needed to use my "brain" to get the 7, 8 and 10. Thanks for the clues.
5:06 am
Soodlebum

Clearly they are all getting their beauty sleep, Brookie. And stocking up on their energy levels, for what lies in store for them.
5:06 am
FMitch

Patience child, don't forget you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your Prince.
5:07 am
MollyL

A wise person once told me that you usually find what you're looking for when you stop looking.
5:08 am
Sally-catlover

I found my second husband at a bus stop. As I said, there is always another bus!
5:08 am
Brookie

All very good advice, and I've heard that too. It's strange, but I tend to meet people when I'm in a receptive mode.
5:08 am
Brookie

That's a sweet story, sally!
5:08 am
Soodlebum

LOL Sally. You make him sound like a lost umbrella!
5:08 am
FMitch

Where did you lose your first one, you careless person! :)
5:09 am
Sally-catlover

My car had broken down and he offered me a lift. I thought (as I frequently tell him) that he looked old and harmless. I would normally NEVER take a lift with a stranger!
5:09 am
Brookie

Your car breaking down was a good thing, then!
5:09 am
Sally-catlover

I left the first one in the left luggage. As far as I know he is still there and unclaimed :-)
5:10 am
lynxxx

sure Sally, sure
5:11 am
FMitch

I divorced my first one and then fell in love with the bulder that was doing wok on my apartment.
5:11 am
TheLegend

i was up at 5 waiting to hear from you brookie..:)
5:11 am
Sally-catlover

Chinese builder FM?
5:12 am
Brookie

Well then, legend, you're a very smart man. :-)
5:12 am
FMitch

hah hah
5:12 am
Soodlebum

ROFL Sally
5:12 am
TheLegend

and im debating eharmony here
5:12 am
lynxxx

Clever FM - a tradie!
5:12 am
Brookie

Don't debate eharmony. It can't talk back to you.
5:13 am
Brookie

Have you tried eHarmony before?
5:13 am
Sally-catlover

Is eHarmony an online dating agency? Should we just cut out the middle man and put Brookie in touch with TheLegend?
5:13 am
FMitch

B was a great craftsman.
5:13 am
TheLegend

lol...nice comeback brookie
5:13 am
TheLegend

and no...ive not done eharmony
5:14 am
Soodlebum

Legend - meet Brookie. Brookie - meet The Legend. Now you both have been introduced. Its up to you from here....
5:14 am
Sally-catlover

mmm, checks profiles. Ages are about right.
5:14 am
TheLegend

thanks soodle
5:14 am
Brookie

Thanks, soodle. I'll send you some more $$.
5:14 am
Sally-catlover

Are you good with children, Legend?
5:15 am
FMitch

*wishes that Lgend would change his icon - a guy in a vest is so not good*
5:15 am
TheLegend

dont have any of my own...but im the fave uncle to 8 nieces and nephews
5:15 am
Brookie

Very good answer, legend.
5:16 am
Sally-catlover

Wouldn't this be fun if it really happened? Has there ever been a Babble romance?
5:16 am
TheLegend

:)
5:16 am
Soodlebum

Just had a look at The Legend's pic. Notwithstanding the vest, is elbowing Brookie out of the way.....
5:16 am
Sally-catlover

lol soodle.

Pushing soodle to the back..

5:17 am
FMitch

Yes there was a few years ago Sally and UK one and a US one
5:17 am
FMitch

but neither worked out.
5:18 am
Sally-catlover

Oh sad.
5:18 am
Brookie

Okay, so I'll put myself out there. If you check out the link on my profile, the YouTube video has my full name. If you're not scared away from the video, track me down. I'm easily Google-able.
5:19 am
TheLegend

im going to do just that..:)
5:19 am
Sally-catlover

Bravo Brookie!!
5:20 am
Brookie

Oh, and I purposely look frumpy in the video due to the topic of my speech. So don't hold that against me. :-)
5:20 am
Sally-catlover

*Wipes away a sentimental te4*
5:20 am
Soodlebum

Oh my! I wonder are we witnessing the beginning of something wonderful....
5:20 am
Sally-catlover

Sitting here grinning like a Cheshire cat.
5:20 am
FMitch

well we have had some babble weddings and quite a few babble babies.
5:20 am
Sally-catlover

Ssshh, let's tiptoe off and leave them to it.
5:20 am
Brookie

My fellow Babblers make me smile.
5:21 am
Soodlebum

Are babble babies called Bablets?
5:21 am
Sally-catlover

lol soodle.
5:21 am
FMitch

lol
5:22 am
Brookie

They'd be babble boomers.
5:22 am
FMitch

Does this mean I need to build a chreche in the PB?
5:22 am
ChampFit

BaBabes! BBL...going out for a bit...thanks again for the great start Soodle!
5:22 am

Bye Champ. Have a good day!

Drumming fingers on keyboard waiting for the return of The Legend.....
5:23 am
FMitch

Isn't she great Legend!
5:23 am
Sally-catlover

Well if nothing else this has cheered up you two (and the rest of us).
5:24 am
Brookie

Toastmasters is really cool. You can talk about anything you want, and people have to listen.
5:24 am
Soodlebum

Herin got a job, and sparks are flying with Brookie & The Legend. This is a GOOD day!
5:24 am
FMitch

I'm Brookie's unofficial cheerleader!
5:25 am
Brookie

AND I still have vacation today!
5:25 am
FMitch

Soodle if you haven't seen Brookie's 'talk' you are missing a great laugh.
5:27 am
Soodlebum

Oh I watched a couple of weeks ago, FM. Absolutely brilliant.
5:27 am
FMitch

:)
5:28 am
Brookie

Thanks so much!
5:29 am
Soodlebum

Frankly, I'm a tad peeved. The Legend is going to fall for her, now, and not give a thought to poor old Soodle, languishing away. Bah. Foiled again.
5:29 am
Sally-catlover

I think she's nearer than you are soodle :-)
5:29 am
TheLegend

what a hoot! Brava, Brookie!!
5:30 am
Sally-catlover

Although, my knowledge of US geography being what it is, that might not actually be true :-(
5:30 am
Brookie

Thank you so much!
5:30 am
Soodlebum

How close, geographically, are you two?
5:31 am
Brookie

Actually, I just googled myself, and there are more Brooke Grubb's than I thought. My email is delawarebrookie@gmail.com. Only if you want to say, hi.
5:31 am
Brookie

I guess we're a few hours away, driving.
5:32 am
Sally-catlover

Hey, just a friendship is good, if nothing else. Don't knock it.
5:32 am
Brookie

If you don't want to email me, I'm sure soodle would be happy to fly out to meet you.
5:33 am
TheLegend

im dropping you an email right now..:)
5:33 am
TheLegend

did you do a Paperless sketch?
5:33 am
Brookie

:-)
5:33 am
Soodlebum

Mustering as much dignity as I can manage.... I concede defeat!
5:34 am
Brookie

Yes, I did that too. My coworker and I put that together in a rush. Purposely corny.
5:34 am
TheLegend

my name is Chris, btw.....
5:34 am
FMitch

and very gracefully done Soodle.
5:34 am
TheLegend

but you can call me Sir
5:34 am
TheLegend

lol
5:34 am
Brookie

How about Sir Legend?
5:35 am
Brookie

Soodle can take consolation in all the money she gets from her fellow babblers.
5:35 am
TheLegend

that works..:)
5:35 am
Sally-catlover

Hands up all those in the chog who are grinning all over their faces right now.
5:35 am

I'm just too jaded with relationships
5:38 am

tiger blew a 5 stroke lead....and lost....cant say i feel all that sorry for him
5:38 am
FMitch

personally that is - not on babble or anywhere else.
5:40 am
Soodlebum

Fireworks here! Chris & Brookie.... if anything develops from this......Me and Sally & FM MUST be kept in the picture. I am feeling like a benign maiden aunt in the presence of all this romance!
5:40 am
Sally-catlover

Sprite will be pleased that there are 5 K words :-)
5:41 am
Brookie

Again, I completely forgot about the grid. No comments about multitasking, soodle! I was too busy sending an email!
5:41 am
FMitch

Congrats Soodle!
5:41 am

congrats Soodle
5:41 am

And congrats, soodle!
5:41 am

Thanks all. Anybody need a soodle-clue before I go?
5:42 am
Sally-catlover

Congrats soodle. Eek! Still have 76 to find here.
5:42 am
FMitch

not for me thanks, am done.
5:42 am
Brookie

Yeah, just some quick clues for the 117 words I have left. And you get to guess which ones I'm missing. :-)
5:42 am
lynxxx

congrats too FM
5:42 am
Sally-catlover

Not for me thanks, just plodding through.
5:43 am
Soodlebum

I'll be off, so. Have a great day everybody, and thanks for chat. Poof

Any news from LizSark about her dog, Oscar?
5:58 am
Sally-catlover

Not that I've noticed in the chog, Scrabbler.
5:58 am
Scrabbler

TY, Sally.
5:58 am
Sally-catlover

But I haven't seen her in the chog for ages, we must be on at different times.
6:00 am
Scrabbler

I am laughing because a mistyped word turned out to be a real word. I love when that happens.
6:01 am
Sally-catlover

Yup :-) Also when you try a made-up word at random and it works.
6:04 am
Brookie

Gotta go now and get ready for work. Have a great day, everyone!
6:05 am
Sally-catlover

Bye Brookie. You too!

6:16 am

I only fell once!
6:17 am
Sally-catlover

Be careful there ruby. Was minus 7 when I went out to do chickens this morning and is still below freezing.
6:23 am

I wish I could go to work; retirement isn't all it's cracked up to be!
6:24 am

Things must be bad if you wish that! Aren't you glad you don't have to turn out looking smart in weather like this though?

really crappy ruby. really. depressed, and not dealing well with some recent revelations that I am just not ready to discuss. it's why I haven't chogged lately

I was so angry with husband yesterday, that I finally said something. Very rare for me. I was right, but he got angry
6:40 am
Sally-catlover

I'm glad you said something, ruby. Better to get it out than bottle it up sometimes.
6:41 am
crosshair

my wife holds nothing back,she is a firm believer in instant karma i think....:/
6:41 am
rubyfoo

he put cinders where he had to walk, and ignored my path. I trusted that they were there and, of course, fell. He said it was because I am clumsy!
6:41 am
rubyfoo

I am poor at expressing anger
6:41 am
Sally-catlover

Husband and I very rarely get angry with each other. Occasionally a bit ratty, but not more.
6:41 am
crosshair

you should take some lessons from my elegant!
6:42 am
rubyfoo

he gets very nasty when he's wrong
6:43 am
rubyfoo

and he should take some smacking around from our crossy!!!!
6:44 am
Trifioso

my ex husband is now touring ireland (where he is from) with his male roommate, whom he repeatedly looked me in the eye and said he was "just friends" with. It's a lie. He told the children the other night that he and the roomate are actually lovers, and then sent them home to tell me. so, there you go.
6:44 am
rubyfoo

eew! he sounds like a real sh** head
6:44 am
Sally-catlover

Oh Trif! No wonder you are having problems. I would find that so hard to deal with.
6:45 am
Trifioso

so basically, my children had to be the ones to tell me that my whole life has been a lie.
6:45 am
rubyfoo

that is so horrible, trif, your reaction is not inappropriate!
6:45 am
Trifioso

and please understand me - I am not upset that he is gay, per se. there is nothing - absolutely NOTHING - wrong with being homosexual. I have HUGE problems with liars and cowards, however. huge.
6:46 am
rubyfoo

and your husband probably feels good that he has been honest! what a louse
6:46 am
Sally-catlover

Not your whole life, Trif. Sometimes people do change in this way I believe. They deny things to themselves until they think it might be too late otherwise. Remember you have some great kids from the relationship.
6:46 am
Trifioso

now I wish I hadn't said anything. It was a weak moment, forgive me.
6:47 am
Sally-catlover

No, I'm glad you did. It is the beginning of moving on. I feel for your kids too! They have to deal with this. Now if you like we will change the subject.
6:47 am
crosshair

you know that you can vent here anytime about anything
6:47 am
MollyL

Trif, loving someone is never a lie. ((((Trif))))
6:48 am
rubyfoo

we are here for you trif; we all go through these bad moments and this group is very supportive! NEVER regret what your tell us. We are ultimately sympathetic and understanding.
6:48 am
Trifioso

I just can't stand that he lied to me. over and over. and that he used the kids like that. Rule #1 of getting divorced is don't use the kids as messengers, and it's all he ever does. it's gross.
6:48 am
rubyfoo

My husband is very jealous of this support system, but too bad for him!
6:49 am
Sally-catlover

I agree with you there. One thing from my own experience is that the kids will work this out for themselves, you don't have to play that game.
6:49 am
MollyL

It's unfair to use the kids that way. I'm sorry to hear that's happening. I know it must be difficult for you Trif.
6:49 am
kittychan

I have known many gay men who were once married. It strikes me as so, impossible, hurtful? because I know that there are the women who tried so hard to be what he wanted and they never knew that it wasn't possible. All those years of effort....
6:49 am
Sally-catlover

Your husband is jealous of Babble ruby? How strange.
6:50 am
rubyfoo

I just shouldn't talk about it, but it is important as a supportive part of my life. He is very isolated
6:50 am
Kaplan the Magne

I know several women that this has happened to and the sense of betrayal is horrendous.
6:50 am
rubyfoo

hello kitty
6:50 am
kittychan

hello
6:51 am
rubyfoo

it is a horrible betrayal
6:51 am
Sally-catlover

I talk about Babble and what goes on to my husband, and about another group I belong to. I'm sure he isn't jealous, but it is no part of his life.
6:51 am
Sally-catlover

Like your icon kitty :-)
6:51 am
crosshair

not so strange sally...mins hubby loathes babble and her friends on here..i am lucky that my lady shares my love of babble
6:51 am
kittychan

thank you, Sally
6:52 am
Jayk

That happened to me too. I only found out after I left him.
6:52 am
Trifioso

I think that is what gets me, kitty. Why couldn't he just be honest? This whole divorce he has been so acrimonious, with him blaming me for everything under the sun. why not just be honest? He would have found me the most helpful ally. But here I argue with reality. In order for him to have made healthy, appropriate choices, he would have to be healthy. and he is not. Waaaay outside of the orientation piece. He just is not capable of that kind of higher emotional function. So i argue with reality, and wish things were different. waste of time.
6:52 am
rubyfoo

when he is feeling cross, he throws up what I'[ve told him about my friends on here
6:52 am
Sally-catlover

Tony doesn't loathe Babble, he just wouldn't play it or be involved in an online world I think.
6:53 am
Trifioso

but it is painful to think of them together, driving around Ireland, visiting with all the people I loved there. this is interesting, though -- he did NOT stay with his brother, but called him on the phone - from Ireland - to tell him what was going on. Weird. They might see each other today, but I am not sure.
6:53 am
Sally-catlover

I find this so strange ruby.
6:53 am
kittychan

I'm sorry Tri - there is a whole world of wasted time and effort behind that 30 second story of your life. Here's to better things to come *raises glass*
6:53 am
Trifioso

((((((((((((jayk))))))))))))))))))))
6:53 am
Trifioso

thank you kitty
6:54 am
Jayk

It completely sucks. Plus, I felt exceedingly stupid
6:54 am
rubyfoo

I think, in the end, many men are hard to fathom. I think they repress their true feelings very early on, probably from bad mothers.
6:54 am
Sally-catlover

Yeah, raises glass to Trif! At least now you know that it was NOT your fault or anything you did, if you ever doubted it, he was just trying to make you take the blame.
6:54 am
crosshair

i see so many of my friends become total idiots like that when the marriage fails(we are the last ones married from our original group of friends) and pray that if that ever befell me,i could handle things better and definatly not use lids as weapons..i am so sorry trif
6:55 am

damn typos
6:55 am

raising glass to trif; we all care about you and are here....
6:55 am
Trifioso

thank you all. I am just really sad. I am a little surprised at how depressed I have been.
6:55 am
Trifioso

I think I just need to feel it.
6:55 am
kittychan

That is perfectly normal.
6:56 am
Sally-catlover

I would be surprised if you weren't depressed.
6:56 am
kittychan

You'd be weird if you weren't.
6:56 am

I don't think time of year is helpfult. As Dostroievsky said "All happy families are alike but unhappy families are unhappy in their own ways!"
6:57 am
Jayk

tallor
6:58 am
Trifioso

but, in so many ways, I resent being sad about this. I have cried too many tears over that liar, and don't want to waste one more minute on his sorry hide. but really, I am stuck with him, as a co-parent for the next 60 years. how do you co-parent with someone when you can't believe a word that comes out of their mouth?
6:58 am
Kaplan the Magne

It was Tolstoy, Ruby. Anna Karenina.
6:58 am
kittychan

When the kids are out of college the game will change a lot.
6:58 am
Trifioso

and I have legitimate questions that he refuses to discuss. how long has it been going on? did he jeopardize my health at any time? is he happier now?
6:58 am
MollyL

Trif, this is just like any other loss. You need to mourn it, and grieve it and then put it to rest. Then you can move on with your life. And you will do that. First you survive, then you thrive.
6:59 am
Trifioso

thank you molly.
6:59 am
Sally-catlover

Good advice Molly
6:59 am
rubyfoo

amen, molly-the-wise
6:59 am
Sally-catlover

I would suggest you get a check-up though Trif.
6:59 am
Kaplan the Magne

yes.
7:00 am
Sally-catlover

How are the children taking it?
7:00 am
crosshair

get a check up molly,live a good life,be there for your kids and hold to your standards and beliefs that is all you can do,you cannot change this man nor should you give yourself one more second of anguish by trying
7:00 am
Trifioso

sigh. I suppose you are right. of course, since the jerkface didn't give me health insurance, it will cost me....I suppose I don't have to be embarrassed in front of the doctor. I am sure he has heard it all before
7:01 am
crosshair

sorry,just my male musings
7:01 am
crosshair

no need to worry bout what the doc thinks,go to a clinic tell him your health concerns and get a check up
7:01 am
Sally-catlover

You can't get that sort of check-up free? We have specialist clincs here.
7:02 am
MollyL

Okay Cross, I'll get a check up. But I think you were posting to Trif. : P
7:02 am
Trifioso

actually, sally, the children made me really proud of how I raised them. They have no inherent issue with him being gay, and werent' embarrassed or anything. they just found it hilarious. Tertiare made me smile...she said "it's worse than you thing mom. Dad SMOKES!" And she's right. that is worse
7:02 am
rubyfoo

have to go. Take care of yourself, trif, and the offer still stand of a shoulder if needed!
7:02 am
kittychan

Careful - if you're on the verge of getting insurance privately you don't want to establish a pre-existing condition.
7:02 am
Trifioso

and the sardonic part of me smiled to myself and thought Excellent, puff away, I am still the beneficiary on your life insurance policy.
7:02 am
Sally-catlover

rofl Trif. That keeps things in perspective!
7:03 am

9:23 am

snow or fog? Here it is fog, and ice on the streets.
9:23 am
NonoNanette

he says it is ok while sleeping, is breathing ok but when active it sneezes
9:23 am
mkg

maybe the kitty is allergic to cats! hahahaha.that is what happens to me when i get close to cats.
9:23 am
Haz1558

If it's had its cat flu vaccinations, then it's maybe some sort of allergy?
9:24 am

don't know about the vaccinations but allergies a possibility, could they come on all the sudden?
9:24 am
Haz1558

Or, maybe it has something up its nose that is annoying it and the sneezing is to try to dislodge it?
9:25 am

9:25 am
mkg

i got the an word. but it is not a 8 or 9. i am so confused.
9:25 am
Haz1558

If the cat's been in contact with something unusual an allergy might kick in. But if it's eating and sleeping etc, probably will right itself eventually.
9:26 am
NonoNanette

that was my thought Haz, he says it is eating and drinking as normal
9:26 am
Haz1558

I wish I could, sprite!

Hi Ruby. I hope your Japanese maples are not wrecked. Those are beautiful trees.
12:39 pm
rubyfoo

they are in a beautiful spot but, unfortunately, when snow comes off the (steeply pitched) roof all at once, it breaks off branches. I'm afraid to go out and look
12:40 pm
EvaNadine

is there an 8 that is not related to the AD and EM groupings??
12:40 pm
rubyfoo

I made a little u-shaped Japanese garden in the driveway: the center is a tulip tree, then 3 little maples (2 red, one green), then azaleas, then juniper, then moss and rocks
12:40 pm

it sounds fussy but is beautiful in spring

primary roads get the attention first..our parking lot sadly is not primary:(
1:34 pm

I remember a few years back the snow was falling so thickly that after clearing up the whole driveway with a snowblower, the driveway where we started already had a foot of accumulation... is it like that over there, crossy?
1:37 pm
crosshair

last i checked dfm,it was up to the doorhandles of the car...cleaned some away so it would not be to the roofline tomorrow
1:39 pm

1:55 pm
dfmchfhf

I actually made a 200m-long cat6 cable o.0
it is HEAVY... but I run all over the house with it connected to my laptop... :o3
I usually forget to disentangle it though, so part of my Sundays is spent untying the line from walls, posts, tables, and the like...
1:55 pm
crosshair

lol@ 200m cat cable..ever hear of a wifi box and wireless nic card?
1:55 pm
dfmchfhf

(well actually it's closer to 170 metres... meh, close enough)
1:56 pm
crosshair

and i still use cat 5..or used to
1:56 pm
dfmchfhf

yep, sometimes go wireless too, but wired is faster.
1:56 pm
crosshair

now i use 802.11 n wireless
1:57 pm

when I'm on wireless I use that too :oP
1:58 pm

I'm also connected to my computer and not my router via cable, and my computer doesn't have wireless. :oO
2:03 pm
crosshair

get one of those small wireless keys dfm,i got one for the wife...22 bucks,just plug into usb 2.0 port and yer done
2:03 pm
dfmchfhf

hard disk of laptop doesn't actually contain much, most files are stored on the computer and externs
2:04 pm
dfmchfhf

so that cable actually sees a LOT of volume.
2:05 pm
dfmchfhf

I should probably consider making/getting a shorter cable (probably 70m) so I don't need to run around the house disentangling everything, and it's lighter, and probably a bit faster. In theory.
2:05 pm
crosshair

soon they will have usb video cards lol,will no need to open up a computer anymore,to upgrade just jam a usb key in!:)
2:06 pm
crosshair

ger a wifi key like i told you and a wireless router all for under 70 dollars,forget hauling all that cable round

8:24 pm

would that garland be known to someone who doesn't decorate for Christmas?

You just take it as it comes Herin, and remember to hug the loved ones around you when you do.

Molly if I hug anyone in his family I will tower over them
8:25 pm

In that case, warm pats on the back work wonders.
8:26 pm
Nef

you can still hug them herin (just bend your knees to get closer to their size! )
8:26 pm
herinfernallady

Nef to ease your confusion. Pa was sick but by a twist of fates b.fs mum sent him a text about 8 weeks ago saying that the ''oldies were sick''. He didn't get the message and we were only informed 2 weeks ago. We were going to see him on Thursday but he died on the Wednesday.
8:27 pm
Minski

sorry, not getting the garland clue for the ad7/8 I am missing. could you dumb it down for me please?
8:27 pm
Nef

oh, no, herin! That is tough!
8:28 pm
herinfernallady

Well I figure that whatever reason we didn't know was a good one. I did have a crow or 3 hanging about. Maybe they were just watching out for me and making sure I got the best I could on the studies. And the B.f would not be upset for so long
8:28 pm
MollyL

ad + you use a r**er to measure + I *** too much at dinner. Then past tense.
8:29 pm
herinfernallady

Nef b.f gets on average 100 sms messages a day. he just doesn't have time to read them all
8:30 pm

I have that one Molly. I'm pretty sure I'm missing the 1st ad7/8 combo. the hint I was given had something to do with garlands that I didn't get.
8:30 pm
ch1212

Minski, my first ad7/8 has to do with glands.
8:30 pm
Nef

Do you have totem crows, herin? My FIL was part ojibwe indian and his totem was the crow
8:31 pm
72 Temple Owl

So do I. Poor B.f has to wear the full suit. I hope he doesn't bake. I will wear a sleeveless dress and short sleeve cardigan as it is a Catholic mass and it is disrespectful to have bare arms in a church

herinfernallady

I think he is also opting for a long sleeve shirt.
10:22 pm
herinfernallady

I was going to go and wear a ''cow'' print sun dress but I have a feeling that black would be better. And it is likely to rain at the burial so that should be muddy fun
10:23 pm
Minski

10:24 pm
herinfernallady

I know but the cow one is higher cut. Less boobs
10:24 pm
Minski

Traditional black not super sexy but not tentish either with a cardigan.
10:24 pm
dfmchfhf

an6/24 is a wreath for your head
10:24 pm
dfmchfhf

Not sure what the other is, lemme check...
10:25 pm
stidmama

10:25 pm
dfmchfhf

oh, huh, an6/30 is a moon of Jupiter. Enable is sooooo silly...
10:25 pm
herinfernallady

True but that cardi is on only in church or I will bake too

oops, wrong answer. I me4...
11:06 pm
dfmchfhf

no, herin, you're totally alone... alone, and there is nobody else here...
11:07 pm
Susan-Victoria

gapeach, to pattern your behaviour after..
11:07 pm
herinfernallady

Well if that is the case I can run about naked
11:08 pm
dfmchfhf

yes you can... but you shouldn't, there may or may not be innocent people watching...
11:08 pm
herinfernallady

I know that is why I said I could
11:08 pm
herinfernallady

or meant to
11:08 pm

Hi Susan

Hi herinfer...

herin please it is will be easier

Susan-Victoria

Hello, young Canuck (dfmchfhf...)
11:10 pm
dfmchfhf

:oO Susan our Babble ages are the same!
11:11 pm
Susan-Victoria

We've got babble ages?
11:11 pm
Susan-Victoria

So we do!
11:12 pm
dfmchfhf

haha, there are 176 Babblers between us... and I joined slightly earlier than you :oP
yeah, check the profiles...
11:12 pm
Susan-Victoria

West coast or east coast or somewhere in between, dfmchfhf?
11:13 pm
dfmchfhf

At the moment, in the nation's Capital... usually a bit further down south. And a bit further west.
11:14 pm
Susan-Victoria

I imagine you're a little colder than we are... No snow here, but a southeaster promised.
11:18 pm
dfmchfhf

I heard there was a snowfall that more or less equals the yearly average on the west coast recently?
11:19 pm
dfmchfhf

I think we're a bit colder over here... more inland... but we've barely had any snow.
11:20 pm
Susan-Victoria

It didn't actually hit my neighbourhood, but there was a sprinkling on the ground for a day or two.
11:22 pm
Susan-Victoria

When you're ready to retire to the warmth, come west young man!
11:22 pm
Susan-Victoria

I guess it'll be quite a few years for you tho', since you're under a year....
11:23 pm
dfmchfhf

hehe.
actually nineteen... still in university...
11:24 pm
dfmchfhf

and I like the cold... o.o
even though I was born in Hong Kong...
11:24 pm
Susan-Victoria

Excellent! What are you studying?
11:24 pm
Susan-Victoria

Math?...
11:25 pm
Susan-Victoria

Guess based on that Rubik's cube...
11:25 pm
dfmchfhf

good guess!
And you're right...
CS / Pure Mathematics
11:26 pm
Susan-Victoria

Interesting. You're obviously a well-rounded person because here you are using the other side of your brain doing word games.
11:26 pm
herinfernallady

back later sorry life has to interrupt
11:27 pm
dfmchfhf

bye herin, hope it's not a serious issue!
11:28 pm
dfmchfhf

<-- is a mathophile.
"matho" prefix meaning "knowledge", not "mathematics".

Close enough to a polymath, I guess, but most of what I know isn't in-depth... :o(
11:28 pm
dfmchfhf

although I must admit I'm also a mathephile ("mathe" meaning "mathematics" and not "knowledge")!
11:30 pm
Susan-Victoria

It's a nice, reliable subject. What do you plan to do with it? Accounting? Business?
11:32 pm
dfmchfhf

stuff that's neither nice nor reliable -- quantum mechanics, or quantum computing.
11:33 pm
Susan-Victoria

gulp. Sounds like a heavy course load.
11:35 pm
dfmchfhf

CS + PMath already is, I need to take 55 courses to5 :oS and standard is 40... thinking I'll take an extra term, and delay the physics half until later... (though a minor in physics is included in the 55.)
11:36 pm
Susan-Victoria

That's very ambitious. It'll be wonderful when you're done, but I don't envy you right now. Don't let it wear you down.
11:40 pm
dfmchfhf

wonderful that is, if I can find some place to work or make a discovery... ;o)
Research-oriented jobs are difficult, or so I've heard... kind of a bit anxious about it, being on a co-op term with a "normal" job this term is making the anxiety a bit worse...
11:44 pm
Susan-Victoria

If you're studying something you genuinely enjoy, then it will definitely work out for you. The problems only arise when people aren't committed to their choices.
11:48 pm
Susan-Victoria

And the co-ops give you a bit of a 'foot in the door' of the places you might be interested in working, don't they?
11:50 pm
dfmchfhf

yeah they do :o)
11:50 pm
cosdem
