which babbler was it, who always said: Keep your chins up!" Was it GroovyKiwi?
4:29 am

((((Brookie))))
4:29 am
Brookie

A little bit. Still just trying to make sense of what happened for closure purposes.
4:29 am
Brookie

Thanks, sprite!
4:30 am
Soodlebum

Lol. Sprite. (I have more Chins than a Chinese telephone directory!!).
4:30 am
sprite

me too, lol
4:30 am
Brookie

Time will heal. I just trusted someone completely, and that trust was destroyed. I'm feeling more skeptical, and I normally not that way.
4:31 am
Soodlebum

Have you spoke to him since Sunday, Brookie?
4:32 am
Brookie

We were supposed to speak last night, but the scheduling didn't work out. He did agree to speak with me. I totally do NOT want to get back together with him, but I just want to understand what happened. Part of closure is learning from an experience, and I'm still trying to figure out what to learn from this.
4:32 am
sprite

you are wise, Brookie. Yes, time will heal. And if you let it, it will even heal the skepsis and lack of trust you feel now. Because in the end, you want to be loyal to yourself and not to the hurt one person caused you. *big warm hug* for you and loads of strength and light.
4:33 am
Soodlebum

I hear you Brookie - and I second everything Spritey said. But closure is a very important of recovery....
4:33 am
Brookie

That's true. It's like they say, "Love like you've never been hurt."
4:34 am
sprite

yes, if you can get him to speak up, it might help. But if you can't, try and realise sometimes it isn't at all about you. He may have issues that caused this, and there is nothing you did wrong except being you - his loss, not yours.
4:34 am
Soodlebum

How did your chat with TheLegend go? Last time I saw you on here, the pair of you were kicking up a storm?
4:35 am
Brookie

We've been exchanging numerous emails. He seems like a nice guy, and very smart. We'll see how it goes. :-)
4:35 am
Brookie

Thanks for asking.
4:36 am
sprite

:D Good for you!
4:36 am
Brookie

So, how's everything in sprite's world? Soodle's world?
4:36 am
Soodlebum

You two seemed to be hitting it off. Play it by ear, Brookie, if nothing else, it will be a diversion!
4:36 am
sprite

I could use a lot more money, energy and health, but I am still feeling blessed with all that IS in my world.
4:36 am
Brookie

Good advice.
4:37 am
Brookie

As far as money is concerned, ask soodle. She's been collecting lots of cash from fellow babblers.
4:37 am
Brookie

And yes, you do have to count your blessings (and note to self on this one!)
4:37 am
Soodlebum

I donated it all to charity!!!!
4:37 am
sprite

grin, how did you do that?
4:38 am
sprite

*giggles* I know, I know, just kidding. I need to find out how to become a charity!
4:38 am
Brookie

Argghhh!!! You should have saved it for the "Babbler-in-Need" fund!!!!
4:38 am
Soodlebum

I began charging fellow babblers for clues, Sprite. They were all sending cheques to "Soodlebum, Ireland". I made a fortune!
4:38 am
sprite

see, you smart Soodle you!
4:39 am
Soodlebum

At present, I am sitting in the East Wing, waiting for the butler to bang the gong to tell me breakfast is ready.
4:39 am
sprite

I am this very intelligent woman, with no sense at ALL when it comes to making money from my talents. Not kidding now. I have the business sense of a worm.
4:39 am
Brookie

Plus, soodle charged for making intros between me and TheLegend, and she charged for promoting my speech video. She'll take any opportunity she can.
4:40 am
Brookie

Can totally relate to you, sprite.
4:40 am
Soodlebum

Not that I am preoccupied with money, or anything.....
4:40 am
sprite

Soodle, you need to start giving classes. For free! For fellow babblers, anyway :)
4:40 am
Brookie

Well, that's because it's second-nature to you now. :-)
4:40 am
sprite

isn't it a shame, Brookie?
4:41 am
Sally-catlover

Good morning all. Someone handing out money? Puts hand out nonchalantly.
4:41 am

hiya Sally :) Well, it is kind of the other way around... we want to collect!
4:42 am
Soodlebum

LOL. I have been holed up at home since this day last week. My car is under 4 feet of snow, and the temperature this morning was minus 14! I will propably get sacked from my job!
4:42 am
Brookie

It is a shame, sprite. And hello, sally!
4:42 am
Sally-catlover

Should have read the chog properly then.
4:42 am
Soodlebum

Hey Sally :-)
4:42 am
Brookie

Did the snow end yet, soodle?
4:42 am
sprite

they would be crazy to let you go, Soodle.
4:42 am
Soodlebum

It has stopped snowing, and the weather forecasters are predicting a thaw.......I don't see any yet.
4:43 am
Sally-catlover

You can't be the only one who can't get in, soodle.
4:43 am
Soodlebum

(((Sprite))). I may have to ask you for a reference....
4:43 am
Brookie

Hopefully it'll thaw slowly so there isn't flooding.
4:43 am
sprite

any time, Soodle.
4:43 am
Sally-catlover

I liked the succinct forecast this morning: cold.
4:44 am
sprite

it is cold here too, but not as cold as at Soodle's.
4:44 am
Brookie

It's around 0 C here.
4:44 am
Sally-catlover

Stupid enable. Saddo isn't allowed.
4:44 am

Our government announced the Budget yesterday. It made a refreshing (if disheartening) change to have something other than the weather on the news.
4:45 am

a few degrees under zero here.

oh I have a bit of good news! Wanna hear?
4:48 am
Soodlebum

Hurray for good news!!! Spill the beans, Sprite....
4:48 am
Sally-catlover

Yes please sprite.
4:49 am
sprite

one of the ugly things my mother did, was giving 'the' piano to my sister, while I was the one who played and my sister never had a single lesson.
But now my sister and I are SO back together and enjoying it... and she told me she doesn't have room for the piano, and would I like to have it! Welllll YESSSS! Please! Including the piano bench our grandfather made himself.
4:50 am
sprite

my love is thinking up a new way to arrange our furniture so it will fit. And my kids and I are looking forward to playing!
4:50 am
Soodlebum

How lovely, Sprite. What a sisterly gesture. I'm very happy for you.
4:50 am
Sally-catlover

Oh that's lovely sprite! And lovely that your sister and you are back together too. {{hugs}}
4:51 am
sprite

we found out that about 95% of our incompatibility stemmed from the things our parents did to keep us apart. We are closer now than ever and feel it makes our lives so much richer :)
4:52 am
Sally-catlover

Sprite, don't say if you don't want to, but why on earth did your parents want to keep you apart? Fully understand if it's private.
4:52 am
Soodlebum

Oh Sprite. Why in the world would your parents try to split up two sisters? That is dreadful.
4:52 am
sprite

we are back together for more than a year now, and we are very dedicated to never being torn apart again.
4:53 am
sprite

divide and rule, galls, that is all. If you can convince one sister that the other is the bad one, you can count on her support... until the sisters finally get together and talk it out.
4:54 am
Soodlebum

Are your parents still alive?
4:54 am
Sally-catlover

Are your parents both still alive sprite?
4:54 am
Sally-catlover

Snap soodle.
4:55 am
sprite

my parents had an ugly divorce and kept battling over our heads for at least 20 more years. My mother is bipolar, my father has narcissistic personality syndrome. It is quite a mess.... and yes, they are both alive.
4:55 am
Soodlebum

Oh wow. Theres a lot going on there, Sprite.
4:57 am
Soodlebum

Once again, I thank God I was blessed with wonderful parents, and the best siblings in the world. But I bitterly regret saddling my kids with that waste of space I married, as a father.
4:57 am
sprite

yeah. But I try to keep my distance now. All I do with my mother is trying to enable the grandchild/grandmother contact between her and my kids. And with my father, I decided to cut off all contact after AMPLE attempts and deliberation.
4:58 am
Sally-catlover

brb
4:58 am
sprite

well, Soodle, I can imagine the feeling, but on the other hand, those beautiful children of yours wouldn't have been there without him. At least he left you something very good :)
4:58 am
sprite

hurry back, Sally
5:00 am
Soodlebum

I think it is very generous of you to allow your mother to have contact with your children, Sprite. And yes, you are right about me not having the kids without 'yer man', but I often worry about the long-term effect on the kids.
5:01 am
sprite

they have you, Soodle. As someone who 'has been there', I can assure you that children are incredibly resilient. If they have one parent they can rely upon, one that values their feelings and opinions and gives them love and boundaries, they will be ok. Not unchanged, but ok.
5:02 am
Sally-catlover

Back. Yes soodle, I too married a waste of space, and my sadness is that his relations with my son are even worse than they once were. However, son is old enough to make his own decisions, but it must be hard for him to realise quite what his father is.
5:03 am
sprite

wb Sally. Yes, that must be hard for him. It will hurt. But knowing he is truly loved by you will help a lot.

Of course, you are absolutely right. Its just that the story of my childhood could have been written by Meave Binchy.... and it troubles me that my kids were put through a very difficult time. How old is your son now, Sally?
5:04 am
MollyL

Just chiming in to say good morning to all and that I'm proud to be a woman.
5:04 am
sprite

hiya Molly, good morning and YAY to that.
5:05 am
Soodlebum

Hey (((Moll)))
5:05 am
Sally-catlover

I initiated them getting back together, at son's request, and as I said things are now much worse because he isn't a little kid to be pushed around and to accept his parents as they are any more. The trouble is, I think he always had hope that one day the relationship would be good, and now he know that won't happen.
5:05 am
sprite

Soodle, there is a lot of learning and ripening to be found in very difficult times. Going through them with your support won't make it easy, but it will make it doable.
5:06 am
sprite

how painful, Sally. It is always hard to learn to say: yes, this man is my father, and no, he is not a nice person.
5:07 am
Sally-catlover

Got it in one sprite.
5:08 am
sprite

*hugs to Soodle, Sally and Molly* There is power in love :)
5:08 am
Soodlebum

I confess to having an utter horror of my ex waltzing back into my kids' lives, and them forgiving him. I think that would kill me.
5:08 am
MollyL

Hugs back to you Sprite. There is power in love. And light.
5:09 am
Sally-catlover

And I am overjoyed that I have a wonderful relationship with son and a fantastic little grandson whom son adores and has a terrific relationship with. Brings tears to my eyes sometimes. Good to know that in that respect he is NOT like his father!
5:09 am
sprite

it would be great for them if they could forgive him, Soodle. Forgiving isn't saying 'you were right', it is just freeing yourself of the ongoing damage of hating someone. But for waltzing back into their lives... no, I hope they won't let him.
5:10 am
sprite

awwww Sally, that is so beautiful.
5:11 am
MollyL

"Freeing yourself of the ongoing damage of hating someone"...that is spot on Sprite. And true. It's very freeing to let that stuff go. It's so heavy to carry around.
5:11 am
Soodlebum

Now THAT is very heartening to hear, Sally.
5:13 am
sprite

it is, Molly. I am finally learning to let go of the anger and hate towards my father. Knowing he suffers from narcissistic personality disorder helped, I can understand him better now. I can forgive him. And I also know that I have to keep him away from me and mine, because he causes intense damage wherever he goes.
5:13 am
Soodlebum

Its 3 and a half years since Mr Soodle ran away. Neither me or the kids have seen him since then. We get the odd drunk telephone call, with him ranting and raving down the phone, blaming us for all his woes. Its very difficult to let go.....
5:14 am
Sally-catlover

Could you change your phone number soodle? And in my experience, kids will work things out for themselves about people as they get older, you don't need to worry about that.
5:14 am
sprite

that is so awful, Soodle. Someone who is addicted to alcohol isn't the person you knew, but an addict. The blame game sounds familiar :(
Can't you change your phone number?
5:15 am
sprite

snap, Sally :)
5:15 am
Sally-catlover

:-)
5:15 am
Soodlebum

OMG. I just google Narcissist Personality Disorder. It's Mr Soodle!
5:16 am
Sally-catlover

Just a moment :-)
5:16 am
sprite

omg really? Feel free to email me, if you feel like you want to, Soodle... I am almost an expert now, lol. It is the disorder that is hardest to treat.
5:18 am
Soodlebum

Thank you Sprite, but as I say, he is gone now, and not (hopefully) coming back. Himself and his NPD are somebody else's problem now!
5:19 am
sprite

very good! Especially if you already know that you were in no way to blame.
5:20 am
Sally-catlover

This seems familiar: The serial bully displays behaviour congruent with many of the diagnostic criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Characterised by a pervasive pattern of grandiosity and self-importance, need for admiration, and lack of empathy, people with narcissistic personality disorder overestimate their abilities and inflate their accomplishments, often appearing boastful and pretentious, whilst correspondingly underestimating and devaluing the achievements and accomplishments of others.

Helo everyone. Sprite - it is soooo good to see you and you seem in very good spirits so that is even better
5:20 am
Sally-catlover

Hi lynxxx! Welcome to the Babble psychiatry clinic.
5:21 am
Soodlebum

I know it's been said before, but Babble is really a remarkable place. Counselling, Friendship, Support and a great laugh. What more could anybody ask for?
5:21 am
sprite

hi lyn :)
Lovely to see you too, and yes, I feel blessed with my babble friends and happy to share some valuable experiences together.
5:22 am
sprite

it is important to realise that inside someone with NPD hides a very scared and lonely person. Everything that is so hurtful about them is part of the persona, of the mask. And you cannot get to it.
5:23 am
Soodlebum

Lynn - Hi and Bye. Sprite, Sally and Molly, thank you all for your words of wisdom. You are all terrific people! Poof

Hugs to all dealing with alcoholism and/or personality disorders. I have dealt with them both, in people I have cared for and it is very, very difficult.
5:28 am
sprite

amazing, isn't it. He was one special guy. It really saddens me that special people are so often killed :(
5:29 am
sprite

am sorry you had to deal with them, Molly. It is very difficult. But I think you came out a winner. You sound balanced and full of light :)
5:30 am
MollyL

I believe that everything that crosses one's path, crosses it for a reason. You can either choose to learn from it, or be bitter about it. I choose to learn.
5:31 am
sprite

I couldn't agree more. Though I have had my periods of bitterness, but they don't help. Letting go, learning and investing in one's own life are a much better way to go ;)
5:31 am
Sally-catlover

I agree with you there Molly. My father used to say that no experience or knowledge is ever wasted.
5:32 am
sprite

oh wait, where do I have them... Rules for being human. Hang on.
5:32 am
Sally-catlover

Burning up with bitterness or hatred or whatever only burns yourself up.
5:34 am
sprite

RULES FOR BEING HUMAN




1. You will receive a body.
You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period of time around.

2. You will learn lessons.
You are enrolled in a full time informal school called life. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant and stupid.

3. There are no mistakes, only lessons.
Growth is a process of trial and error experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much part of the process as the experiment that ultimately "works".

4. A lesson is repeated until learned.
A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it, you can then go on to the next lesson.

5. Learning lessons does not end.
There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.

6. "There" is no better than "here".
When your "there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here".

7. Others are merely mirrors of you.
You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.

8. What you make of life is up to you.
You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.

9. Your answers lie inside you.
The answers to life's questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen and trust.

10. You will forget all this.

it seems to be a systemic problem as I get a recording when I call. Very annoying, though

Ooo, yes Eva. This may sound weird, but it's easy and the meatballs turn out great. Put a pound of frozen meatballs in the crockpot and cover with one bottle of chili sauce and 1 small jar of (yes) grape jelly. Simmer in the crockpot for a few hours. They are really good.

It is sad Eva, It would seem that workers would be much more productive if they were comfortably warm
8:42 am

i readily admit that i find it much colder than everyone else does -- im just cold-blooded.
but most of the women find it chilly in here.
its always been a battle of men-vs-women. we have to call the building maintenance to get the temp changed, and whenever we ask them to turn it up, the men complain that its too hot + they call to have them turn it back down...

9:25 am

ive read it twice, its cute.
it is a series of letters between a few characters who live on a fictitious island named after the guy who came up with the sentence that has every letter of the alphabet in it...
9:25 am
jmcnrick

it was rough teaching my kid the alphabet because i still tend to think elemento p so i had to be careful
9:26 am
jmcnrick

okay not getting nbt before work -- late leaving home as it is
9:26 am
EvaNadine

one day, in the town square (where they have a statue to the guy that has the sentence on it) a letter fell off the statue. the government decided it was a sign from the gods that they werent supposed to use that letter anymore, so it was outlawed.
one-by-one, letters start falling off the statue, and the letters written between the characters have to reflect that...
9:26 am
EvaNadine

eventually, it becomes quite difficult to write (and read!) so they plan an uprising to get the letters reinstated.
its a fun story!
9:27 am

seems to me i heard a story about a country where a letter was outlawed O maybe?

4:34 pm
Soodlebum

Gratefully accepting the Jemmy, Moll, (never one to refuse), but we are nice and toasty again. I am sooo thankful to have an obliging plumber!
4:35 pm
cosdem

oh i see my problem im looking at ad and not ar like i need to be
4:35 pm
MollyL

A good plumber is a Godsend. If I had it to do over again, I would have become a plumber myself. Good money and job security for life.

Soodlebum

Did you get the ar, Cos?
4:36 pm
cosdem

Bonus plural with that one too Cos. Although I'm not sure I understand the grammar in that.
4:36 pm
Soodlebum

You're not joking there about the money, Molly. He charged me 100 euros - about $140.... but heck... we are warm again.
4:37 pm
cosdem

4:38 pm
MollyL

Spill Cos.
4:38 pm

Oh Goody. I love embarrasing stories that don't involve me.....
4:38 pm
cosdem

4:39 pm
Soodlebum

4:41 pm
Soodlebum

Hey Nan :-)

4:43 pm
Soodlebum

Karma..... doncha just hate it!
4:43 pm
cosdem

and i need to do christmas shopping! lol
4:43 pm
Lady Biotch

can't believe how cold it has been Soodle - I was complaining about 18 degrees with a wind chill factor of 10 we are having a warm front compared to you
4:44 pm
MollyL

To counter balance that, I have a touching story. I got a box in the mail from my sister today. I had already gotten her box with holiday gifts in it, so I thought perhaps she had forgotten to pack one.
4:44 pm
Soodlebum

Positively balmy where you are, compared to here, Lady. This cold spell has broken all weather records.
4:45 pm
Soodlebum

So, what was in it, Moll?
4:45 pm
MollyL

It was a lovely gift for me, because my sister was thinking about how hard this time of year must be for me, missing my husband. It's a beautiful white candle, inside of a piece of tree trunk. I am Pagan by nature and have a deep love of trees.
4:45 pm
cosdem

oh that sounds beautiful
4:46 pm
Soodlebum

Oh, how lovely. Molly. A combination of light and nature, and a wonderful sister. That must have made you very happy. :-)
4:46 pm
MollyL

She said that she said some prayers over it before she sent it, and that each time I light it, I should be reminded of the great love there is for me in this world. Did I mention that I stood in the right line for sisters before I jumped into this world?
4:47 pm
MollyL

Made all my eye makeup a soppy mess, that did. In a good way.
4:48 pm
Soodlebum

Thats wonderful Molly. And you deserve it. You are a great cheerer-upper for lots of Babblers (including myself).
4:49 pm

4:53 pm
dfmchfhf

well, to be more precise, the fan exploded... there are bits of fan all around the inside of it.
4:53 pm
Soodlebum

I found the first Christmas more difficult than the New Year. I sort of looked at the new year as a new beginning, blah blah. The empty seat at theChristmas dinner table was excrutiating.
4:53 pm
jmcnrick

yikes!
4:53 pm
dfmchfhf

well, at least THAT explains why it has been overheating quite often recently...
4:54 pm
jmcnrick

well i suppose it is whatever triggers that realization that you are realio trulio alone that does it
4:54 pm
jmcnrick

i had a 8 year old son at christmas to attend to and he was asleep when the new year came in
4:55 pm
jmcnrick

it was one of the coldest winters ever with the pipes in my house freezing to bursting 3 times and waking up to the sound of neighbors hammering (literally) the ice off their steps to get out of the house
4:56 pm
jmcnrick

and the water was contaminated and I had to go to the second floor to get a bucket of water and bring it to the first floor to boil before we could use it for anything.
4:57 pm
jmcnrick

good times
4:57 pm
Soodlebum

Hmm. The holidays are indeed a tricky time of year. But, as usual.... we get on with it! (Beats the heck out to the alternative!!).

Alternatively, the cartesian identities for the topology are

if one is taking protnix for ulcer, and has immediate indigestion, is there anything to take for the immediate discomfort? protonix is one at night
6:45 pm

hi all!
6:46 pm
hootowl

hi
6:46 pm
kje

protonix should not cause indigestion
6:46 pm
72 Temple Owl

iwould take the dose but not sure if i can eat later after taking it
6:46 pm
kje

take it with food at dinner - it lasts 24 hours anyway, so will still cover your nocturnal GERD
6:46 pm
72 Temple Owl

no, drug is not the cause. it's the treatment
6:47 pm
72 Temple Owl

ty kje!
6:47 pm

ah, all the atibiotics... yes... take with food
6:47 pm
MPittore

I have reccently heard that if you have indigestion to take a couple spoons of vinegar and that will stop it.
6:47 pm
72 Temple Owl

i tseems an empty stomach is causing discomfort.
6:48 pm
72 Temple Owl

too much time between lunch , which is small, and dinner
6:48 pm
kje

yes, pills in general can be hard to take on an empty stomach, especially some of those antibiotics
6:48 pm
MPittore

The reason is that indigestion is often caused by too little stomach acids

My friend is from Serbia and his wife from Canada..the Slava is a Serbian celebration of the families move from paganism to Christianity and they have a family Saint, I believe the celebration is symbolic of Holy Communion because they have a special slava cake and wheat...

Sweet Cheeks Winery (your names are as inventive as ours!) -- is there another that you would recommend, keeping in mind that we are looking for an off dry white wine?

I'm not much into wine, nan (ruru would have better input in that regard); however, if you're looking for scenery...King Estate is quite spectacular (like going to an Italian winery)...
