dizgrannie

re 9/66

3:20 am

rubyfoo

good morning! Here for a few minutes

3:20 am

rubyfoo

how are you diz grannie?

3:21 am

rubyfoo

aah, I just looked at the "chog time"; I think I'm alone!

3:31 am

swmbo

I am here, but won't be for much lonher. How are u?

3:32 am

swmbo

rils

3:33 am

rubyfoo

hi swmbo

3:33 am

rubyfoo

it is another lovely day here! you, too?

3:33 am

rubyfoo

we usually get your weather 3 days later

3:34 am

rubyfoo

oh, whoops, was thinking scotland -- still sleepy I guess

3:35 am

swmbo

It is 5:34 AM and I haven't looked outside lately, but I think we are at least free of precipitation

3:35 am

rubyfoo

is it still cold?

3:35 am

swmbo

LOL yes I am a bit east of Scotland!

3:35 am

rubyfoo

we need rain very badly here -- long winter drought, very weird. No snow since December which (although pleasant) is bad for this valley

3:35 am

swmbo

or should I say WEST??? Getting tired...

3:36 am

rubyfoo

close enough, I read it as west anyway....

3:38 am

swmbo

We get tons of precip, snow, rain etc. Must be awful to be so dry

3:38 am

rubyfoo

very unusual for here. We had 4 ft of snow in December and then none afterwards

3:38 am

rubyfoo

and we're in the Alps

3:40 am

swmbo

Very high up?

3:41 am

rubyfoo

not very high, but in the foothills and there is usually substantial snow. The ski resorts died this year

3:42 am

rubyfoo

there is still snow way up on top, but not like most years

3:42 am

rubyfoo

we are near Annecy

3:43 am

swmbo

I'll bet. Weather all over is 'off'. Even here, we have had such mild winters the last few years.

3:43 am

rubyfoo

it is very strange and unsettling

3:43 am

rubyfoo

and those poor people in NC!

3:44 am

rubyfoo

where are you? (If I leave abruptly, it's because husband is back with groceries)

3:47 am

swmbo

I am on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia Canada

3:48 am

rubyfoo

I've read a little about that place, it must be gorgeous! And don't you benefit from the Gulf Stream?

3:48 am

rubyfoo

so you can swim in winter hahah

3:48 am

swmbo

I live right on the Atlantic coast, so we get lots of wind and wetness. The Gulf Stream mostly passes us by haha

3:49 am

rubyfoo

whales? great fishing?

3:49 am

rubyfoo

oysters? winkles at low tide? clams?

3:50 am

swmbo

It IS very green here and the summers are lovely, nice and warm without the humidity. Lots of whales and fishing has been a traditional occupation, but not so much since the depletion of the fish stocks

3:50 am

rubyfoo

I've just read that many of the N Atlantic fish are making a big comeback! I hope it applies to CBI!

3:51 am

swmbo

Ye4s, we certainly dig clams,, oysters and enjoy other shellfish, particularly scallops

3:51 am

swmbo

There is a dicided opinion about the recovery of the fish, especiallt the Atlantic cod. Some say we are far from a good recovery

3:51 am

rubyfoo

I miss all that, living inland. There are nice things about it (clement weather, etc), but I really miss seafood having come from MY and then Miami

3:52 am

rubyfoo

NY*

3:52 am

swmbo

sorry my typing is terrible, I have a trigger finger and it prevents proper typing

3:52 am

swmbo

New York?

3:53 am

rubyfoo

originally from Queens and used to go fishing with my dad. 100 yrs ago lol

3:53 am

rubyfoo

trigger finger? good hunter?

3:54 am

swmbo

Not a good hunter! It is an extremely painful condition.

3:54 am

rubyfoo

phantom: flaccid

3:54 am

rubyfoo

I'm sorry, shouldn't make jokes! uh oh, husband is back. Nice talking to you, swmbo!!!

3:54 am

swmbo

I visited NYC last year for the first time and I LOVED it!!! Ho0w could you bear to leave?

3:55 am

swmbo

Me too, I have to go...

3:55 am

splasher

Trigger finger is easily curable via a minor surgical procedure.

3:56 am

swmbo

I think I am going to have to have that surgery too. previously had trigger finger twice and both times it resolved but not this time

3:57 am

splasher

Yes, in and out in 15 minutes. Drove home 2 hours later.

3:58 am

swmbo

Really? My finger is getting contracted, was yours? Did it take long to heal?

4:00 am

splasher

Mine was at the base of my thumb. Every time I used my thumb it would stick and then jump..and the jump was painful. It is basically the sheath around the muscle that sticks...and then releases suddenly. I think it is the fluid inside the sheath that gets grainy.

4:02 am

swmbo

yes, I had the same thing in both index fingers. This one is not quite the same, and is not resolving so I see my dr on Thursday and will be looking for a surgical consult. I am willing to put up with the pain but not long term disability, which I will have if this is not fixed

4:03 am

swmbo

Oops, I goota go, nice talking to you!

4:03 am

splasher

I agree..it's silly to wait.

4:03 am

splasher

Go well.

4:17 am

herinfernallady

Pounce Hi sprite

5:35 am

sprite

hey lady :) *hug*

5:40 am

herinfernallady

how you

5:41 am

sprite

sort of ok. Going through a rough period but doing it in style, and with my optimism intact. So not bad.
And you?

5:41 am

herinfernallady

Laugh or you will cry ok

5:42 am

sprite

yeah, lol, although I sometimes do cry.
Oh, about laughing... wanna hear a cute story about some small kids in our neighbourhood?

5:42 am

herinfernallady

sure

5:44 am

sprite

2 boys and a girl, about 6 yo, playing with a piece of rope that they tied to a tree. One boy is saying to the others to pass under the rope. They do, but he says: "No not like that! Like this!" And he makes a big belly and leans backwards. "Come on, you know what Lingo is, right??!"

5:45 am

herinfernallady

cute

5:46 am

sprite

we had a great laugh over it, such a cute mixup.

5:47 am

herinfernallady

Kids are great

5:48 am

herinfernallady

whoot

5:48 am

sprite

yeah, usually, grin.

5:49 am

herinfernallady

I am so freeking tired and over our public transport

5:49 am

sprite

{{{{{{{{{{lady}}}}}}}}}}}

5:50 am

herinfernallady

Since I have started work they have had a 82% Puncuality rate and last month it was 79%

5:50 am

sprite

very irritating when you depend on them for transportation

5:51 am

herinfernallady

And when you have a boss that thinks you are talking crap

5:53 am

sprite

who is driving to work in his own car, no doubt. Or her car.

5:54 am

herinfernallady

Her.

5:54 am

herinfernallady

She thinks I am full of crap and should get an earlier train

5:54 am

sprite

can you do that?

5:57 am

vanillaslice

herinfernallady

6:02 am

lynxxx

6:02 am

herinfernallady

they need to get the sodding trains running

6:03 am

herinfernallady

No Frankston and it is really poo. The school holidays are helping though

6:11 am

herinfernallady

Hi Odin

6:11 am

Odin

Hey everyone...grid looks good but then again I am just getting started.

6:11 am

lynxxx

its a challenge

6:11 am

sprite

good grid, but some tough-to-find words for me.

6:12 am

Odin

I may take back that statement...hhhmmmmm maybe a wee bit harder that at first glance.

6:13 am

sprite

I must be afk for a while, back later. Bye all!

6:14 am

lynxxx

bye Sprite

6:14 am

Odin

Later Sprite

6:14 am

vanillaslice

anyone have a clue for cr8/45?

6:17 am

herinfernallady

Later Sprite

6:17 am

Odin

sorry Vanil just getting started...need more coffee before the 8's

6:17 am

lynxxx

when you throw your pants onto the floor - in the morning they are cr8

6:18 am

Odin

ty lynxxx

6:18 am

vanillaslice

no problem. Down to the last 12

6:19 am

vanillaslice

mmmmcreased is not there, so....

6:20 am

herinfernallady

my brain hurts

6:20 am

lynxxx

you are on the right train vanilla

6:20 am

vanillaslice

ahh yes, even more so thxvm

6:21 am

Odin

Mine is starting to Herin and I have only been here a few minutes.

6:22 am

herinfernallady

I have had pain relief my eye is still trying to get out of my head

6:23 am

Odin

I don't know if you were around the other day when I explained I am trapped in a wheelchair with an avulsion fracture to my knee...pain sucks!

6:23 am

vanillaslice

yeah, she's tough today

6:23 am

herinfernallady

ewwwwwwww

6:24 am

herinfernallady

How did you do that?

6:25 am

Odin

Strange as it may sound it happens unexpectedly when I stood up. My knee must of slightly dislocated and when it did a muscle snagged a piece of bone clean off!

6:25 am

vanillaslice

ouch, hope theyre giving you some morphine

6:25 am

Odin

Oss fracture but if the ligaments are good I'll be walking again in a hinged brace

6:26 am

herinfernallady

O I tore both my ligaments in my knee standing up so you are not that special

6:27 am

lynxxx

when do you find that out Odin? sounds like you need to be mobile

6:27 am

Odin

got the good stuff in the ER but then they are stingy with anything after. Vodka is always a good standby. Herin you are an amazing lady...I can appreciate how much that hurt!

6:28 am

herinfernallady

It hurt but I didn't do jack until three days later. I am a tough cookie.

6:28 am

herinfernallady

Then I got off crutches and fell down a stair rolling my ankle back onto crutches. Fun times.

6:29 am

Odin

I will get the MRI results tomorrow. I am not one to sit and depend on others for mobility, food, drinks or a ride. IHerin I was sippin' the vodka the next day. Why? It was just normal weekend cocktails

6:29 am

Odin

Herin you are tough!!!!

6:29 am

Odin

How are your knees now?

6:29 am

herinfernallady

No I think clutzy

6:29 am

herinfernallady

VOdka is good.

6:29 am

Odin

Atta girl!

6:31 am

herinfernallady

I have a great idea you know a coffee machine with a filter

6:32 am

Odin

YES

6:32 am

herinfernallady

Well you get fruit put that in the top then pour vodka over it

6:34 am

herinfernallady

You squish the fruit and put it in a jug and pour vodka over it leave it sit for a day. Then use the filter and pour the mix over it straining the mix through the filter into the jug

6:35 am

Odin

Now that sounds good. We love fruit infused vodka. Get some citrus and other fruits add vodka and put it under pressure a day or so and ....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmvodka!

6:35 am

Odin

Great minds think alike Herin!

6:36 am

lynxxx

a russian sangria

6:36 am

Odin

Exactly! and quite tasty...no one makes better vodka that the Russians.

6:37 am

herinfernallady

Yep

6:37 am

herinfernallady

Friend did it with berry skittles

6:38 am

Odin

Wow...that's an interesting idea.

6:39 am

herinfernallady

Not sure if you guys had the chilli ones?

6:40 am

Odin

Chilli ones?

6:40 am

herinfernallady

skittles

6:41 am

Odin

Haven't seen those ... wow my mind is already imagining how good those are and with vodka...mmmmmmmm

6:42 am

herinfernallady

I think they were limited edition

6:42 am

Odin

Chilli Skittles :} I know I would like them.

6:43 am

herinfernallady

I would like to know if sour skittles would work

6:43 am

Odin

I could whip up a batch in the interest of science.

6:43 am

herinfernallady

Do you have sour skittles?

6:45 am

Odin

I believe we have those. I am on a mission to check out all available flavors here and then I will test each one with good vodka and will report back on my findings! Tough job but...I'm in!

6:47 am

herinfernallady

brillant

6:48 am

lynxxx

co-incidently ambulance were called to a house in one of our suburbs today. neighbours were feeling dizzy and having trouble breathing.Turns out a neighbour was drying chillies in their backyard

6:48 am

Odin

Skittle shots...maybe a new fad which would go over big.

6:49 am

herinfernallady

Lynxx that was funny as

6:49 am

herinfernallady

I am actually suprised it wasn't pot they were drying

6:49 am

lynxxx

pretty amazing considering how cold it has been

6:49 am

Odin

lynxxx I have heard it happens to those who harvest hot peppers. Herin the chillis were to hide the pot!

6:50 am

herinfernallady

I know the suburb. I am really suprised it wasn't green

6:51 am

lynxxx

Yeah

6:53 am

Odin

Like Mendocino county if California...pot growers consist of most of the residents.

6:54 am

herinfernallady

Well I was just told actually suprised it wasn't a Meth Lab

6:56 am

Odin

Being in emergency medicine for so many years...meth labs and dealers and users are something we could all do without.

6:56 am

bichon

Then there's the show "Breaking Bad" I watched it a couple of times, but felt repulsed

6:57 am

Odin

Haven't seen it Bichon but a friend told me about it.

6:58 am

lynxxx

hi Bichon. have to agree, don't understand why it was raved about so much

6:59 am

bichon

My husband and son watch it. I watched The Sopranos and the characters were repulsive. But watch a show about Meth dealers is something different

6:59 am

herinfernallady

Interesting

8:26 am

hurshy

8:27 am

FMitch

Hello Haz, did you get you photo taken?

8:27 am

Haz1558

Not only did I get my photo taken, I had to make a speech.

8:27 am

MollyL

I (like the cheese) will stand alone in having never heard of the breed.

8:27 am

hurshy

ooh, what did you speak about?!

8:27 am

Haz1558

I was then conducted on a tour of the various artists and had to chat to them. I felt like a minor royal or something.

8:27 am

FMitch

oh heavens! wtg.

8:28 am

FMitch

Perhaps you should ahve worn a hat.

8:28 am

MollyL

*Curtsies to HRH Haz*

8:28 am

hurshy

you're not a MINOR royal, you're the Queen of the World!

8:28 am

Haz1558

I was collecting a cheque on behalf of a cancer charity I've been involved with for a long time. The money was raised by a group of amateur artists selling paintings at an exhibition and them giving part of the proceeds to the charity.

8:28 am

FMitch

lol Molly

8:29 am

Haz1558

It's a nice little group - they meet once a week and do their paintings and they have tutors who come and give help.

8:30 am

EvaNadine

mornin babblers!

8:30 am

FMitch

Sounds like a sociaty my Mum used to be a member of.
Hi EvaN

8:30 am

Haz1558

Lots of them are retired and they confessed that they could never draw at school but had amazed themselves by taking up painting and really enjoying it.

8:30 am

Haz1558

Good morning, EvaNadine.

8:31 am

uusue2

8:31 am

EvaNadine

8:32 am

Riverdance

8:32 am

FMitch

Feel v sorry for Mum now as she longs to paint still but can't sit for long periods due to oteoperosis etc (sp)

8:32 am

uusue2

So I got an email from someone at a newspaper (web site) called the New Europe who wants to reprint an article of mine :-)

8:33 am

uusue2

FM, sorry to hear about your mum, that is tough :-(

8:33 am

Haz1558

Glad you enjoyed it, River. Are babblers looking at each other now wondering if he/she is a secret Rules maker?

8:33 am

Riverdance

everyone must be reading Haz's profile...

8:34 am

Riverdance

lol

8:34 am

FMitch

Isn't it great River!

8:34 am

Haz1558

EvaN - I'm fine, enjoying some lovely sunshine and providing the voice of sanity and reason during wedding preparations.

8:34 am

hurshy

8:34 am

EvaNadine

sanity and reason dont exist during wedding preparations, sorry.
hehe.

8:34 am

EvaNadine

Cialis!

8:35 am

hurshy

ding ding ding!

8:35 am

FMitch

They have to for the mother of the bride

8:36 am

Haz1558

I'm not convinced that the bridesmaids' shoes have to match the colour of the pearls at their neck, but apparently it's vital.

8:36 am

FMitch

Haz and her clipboard WILL remain in control until after the event :)

8:36 am

uusue2

lol, haz!

8:36 am

EvaNadine

shoes matching pearls?
thats a new one for me...

8:37 am

hurshy

is the daughter of haz to be wed?? did i know this if so???

8:37 am

FMitch

LOL EvaN - this from the woman who was going demeted about orange shoes :)

8:37 am

Haz1558

My daughter is just ever so slightly fussy about tiny details.

8:37 am

hurshy

is the daughter of haz to be wed?? did i know this if so???

8:37 am

EvaNadine

FM, at least i didnt have to match them to anything other than a totally arbitrary and imaginary picture inside my mind!

8:37 am

Haz1558

Yes indeed, hurshy. My older girl is getting married at the beginning of August.

8:37 am

FMitch

*grin*

8:38 am

hurshy

is this the one that worries like me?

8:38 am

Haz1558

The very one.

8:38 am

hurshy

and do you like the lad?

8:39 am

Matches

clue for re9/66

8:39 am

Haz1558

This is the girl who used to do packing lists for holidays which included diagrams of hair accessories and jewellery.

8:39 am

Haz1558

I like him very much indeed, hurshy. He is very calm, kind and has a good sense of humour.

8:39 am

FMitch

someone who choses to live in isolation Matches.

8:39 am

EvaNadine

::hides formatted and saved "beach packing list" that she has on her work computer::

8:40 am

uusue2

8:40 am

hurshy

the bottom left i box is bugging me - i can only find land surrounded by water :(

8:41 am

Haz1558

Thank you! We think they're well suited and they've known each other for a long time.

8:41 am

uusue2

oops - time has gotten away from me - time to run off to work!

8:41 am

Matches

ty fmitch got it

8:42 am

Haz1558

For the other i, think of a different spelling for what we change from time to time <---------

8:42 am

FMitch

darn HAz beat me to it.

8:42 am

hurshy

i have the ones from the right, it's the left that's giving me trouble

8:43 am

FMitch

Ah that will be the is6/24 and 7/32

8:43 am

FMitch

oops 7/36

8:43 am

Haz1558

And no wonder, hurshy, they are words that don't spring readily to mind.

8:44 am

hurshy

thank you the stats helped, i have got them!

8:45 am

Haz1558

Well done!

8:45 am

FMitch

you are a very talented lady in that case!

8:45 am

hurshy

well it took a bit of monkeying

8:46 am

FMitch

I had to morewords them (and yes the cheque is in the post Haz).

8:46 am

Haz1558

Excellent. The wedding fund is grateful.

8:47 am

hurshy

i kinda want fofo to be a word. just because.

8:48 am

FMitch

I really enjoy cluing for babblers that I've babbled with for years as you sorta know when to just do stats or what ones they might be missing - if you know what I mean :)
Also enjoy doing clues full stop - before anyone takes offence.

8:48 am

Haz1558

What would it mean?

8:48 am

hurshy

i dunno - what do we think it should mean? :)

8:49 am

FMitch

A bit like a faux pas but not as bad?

8:49 am

hurshy

good one FM. i was thinking maybe extremely foolish.

8:50 am

Haz1558

I'm thinking food, not sure why. Of course we need to establish how it is pronounced. Fo Fo or fof-o.

8:50 am

hurshy

Fo Fo

8:50 am

pabtrek

fs

8:50 am

FMitch

Ahh Fo Fo with sweet and sour sauce

8:50 am

hurshy

it could easily be a chinese food.

8:50 am

pabtrek

oops sorry

8:51 am

hurshy

i don't think you need to be sorry for saying "fs".

8:51 am

FMitch

lol Hi pab

8:51 am

Haz1558

I agree with the Fo Fo pronounciation.

8:51 am

pabtrek

hi everyone

8:51 am

FMitch

The Fo Fo was freshly caught this morning.

8:51 am

Ouwachita

any clue for the last ch5 ?

8:51 am

Haz1558

Hello, pabtrek.

8:52 am

hurshy

hey pab, got any suggestions for a meaning for "fofo"?

8:52 am

Haz1558

ch5/16 - to rhyme with the sort of wriggly thing birds like to eat.

8:52 am

Ouwachita

nevermind...I found it

8:52 am

FMitch

and funnily enough it is related to bird song.

8:52 am

Ouwachita

thanks anyways...haz

8:52 am

crosshair

good morning everyone;) haz i have read the minutes of the meeting in your profile and i must disagree at one point.there is no such thing as a babble"addiction" as i have quit many times over the last 3 years;)))

8:52 am

pabtrek

at little less then fufu?

8:52 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

8:53 am

FMitch

Good morning crossy ((()))

8:53 am

hurshy

8:53 am

crosshair

((FM))

8:54 am

Haz1558

fufu - what junior ballerinas wear?

8:54 am

FMitch

How are you and Mrs C today?

8:54 am

crosshair

mrs c is still snoozing but we are all well and good:)

8:54 am

hurshy

so a fofo would be a ballerina costume for an infant?

8:55 am

crosshair

is that not a fru-fru?

8:55 am

FMitch

If ballerinas have fru fru on their tutu's perhaps make ballet dancers just have fo fo on their tights?

8:55 am

hurshy

fru-fru is adjectival. anything that is unnecessarily dandy.

8:56 am

hurshy

this grid is very french... cela, celui, cheri...

8:57 am

Haz1558

frou-frou - excessively fancy, like most mother of the bride outfits.

8:57 am

FMitch

This grid is just very .... I have no grey cells left for today.

8:58 am

hurshy

ah, zee little grey cells...

8:58 am

8:59 am

pabtrek

9:03 am

crosshair

9:04 am

FMitch

'fraid not

9:04 am

crosshair

9:04 am

hurshy

is the ac8 weird or normal? :)

9:05 am

FMitch

but I bet your sons trousers are cr8 than yours if he leaves them on the floor over night.

9:06 am

FMitch

It is a pl of the ac7 and is a word I am not familiar with hursh.

9:06 am

Haz1558

It's not normal, or at least not in my world. It's a plural for ac7.

9:06 am

FMitch

<-- goes to look up the def.

9:06 am

Haz1558

For ac7 - start off with what you don't want to have in your car and run it into Spanish day.

9:06 am

hurshy

are there two ac7's, then?

9:06 am

FMitch

yes

9:07 am

Haz1558

There are two ac7, yes.

9:07 am

crosshair

9:07 am

FMitch

9:08 am

Haz1558

Hold on and I'll have a look.

9:09 am

FMitch

Ta

9:10 am

Haz1558

It says nothing. Further investigation is required as dictionary.com can't come up with anything either.

9:10 am

FMitch

Ah c'est la vie

9:10 am

hurshy

apparently it's sloth

9:10 am

crosshair

9:12 am

hurshy

9:12 am

Haz1558

And how do you feel?

9:13 am

crosshair

tried darjeeling the other week and it was so weak it was like someone dragged a tea bag through hot water for 10 seconds lol

9:13 am

hurshy

fine. i think i might like it better than my current job, but i've also applied for something else which i think would be a much better opportunity, so i'm not as into this one

9:13 am

FMitch

My Grandpa worked at the steel mills all his life and through WW2, they used to eg extra rations of tea and as a good Yorkshire man always brewed a a mug of tea so that the 'spoon could stand up in it'.

9:13 am

crosshair

only way ta brew it fm:)

9:14 am

FMitch

:)

9:14 am

Haz1558

All the best with the interview, hurshy, if nothing else it gives you experience.

9:14 am

hurshy

i am hoping i don't end up having to decide something about this one without knowing about the other.

9:14 am

hurshy

thanks :)

9:14 am

FMitch

Well done for aplying for the jobs hursh and good luck with the interviews, I know it is not easy for you.

9:14 am

crosshair

heat the pot first so the water stays hot longer and you can steep it till it begs for mercey

9:14 am

Haz1558

Yes, but don't spend time worrying about it.

9:15 am

crosshair

you will do great i am sure hurshy

9:15 am

Haz1558

You need to worry about things like whether your shoes match your necklace.

9:15 am

FMitch

... and don't overanalyse afterwards :)

9:15 am

FMitch

LOL Haz.

9:15 am

crosshair

good grief....wimmens...

9:16 am

hurshy

i have been doing reasonably well about the worrying thing, i think. and my shoes never match my necklace :) lol

9:16 am

car.eeyore

Hey all!

9:16 am

FMitch

Back in 5.
Hi car.e

9:16 am

flosey

as

9:16 am

car.eeyore

Hi and Bye FM.

9:16 am

Haz1558

Hello, car.

9:17 am

flosey

good morning everyone

9:17 am

Haz1558

Good morning, flosey.

9:17 am

car.eeyore

Hurshy...I haven't seen you since the accident happened at Yale. The girl that was killed....lives in the town next to me. The Babble World is indeed a small place.

9:17 am

car.eeyore

Good morning Flosey!

9:17 am

car.eeyore

Good morning Haz!

9:17 am

hurshy

it is. she was killed right across the street from my office. :(

9:18 am

crosshair

wear something comfortable and do dress up like you are going to a catillion ,always make eye contact do not make your previous experience into a big long story.keep it short and simple but factual and when the interviewer says "where would you see yourself within this company in ten years?" do not answer "your chair":)

9:18 am

crosshair

dont dress up like a party*

9:18 am

car.eeyore

I knew that she had been killed right across from you, but then to find out she lived in the next town from me....kind of weird.

9:19 am

hurshy

well, i guess everything is near SOMEbody!

9:20 am

crosshair

every summer i do about 50 interviews and it is always the same.and it is always the same type that make it to the final 5 short list

9:21 am

hurshy

i don't mind interviews, really.

9:22 am

hurshy

what i find hard is the imagining what a new thing would be like, and whether i would like it, and making decisions.

9:23 am

crosshair

they must fe confident,calm,meet your eyes when you speak and be a people person.shmoozing with customers is #1.if you can make my customers have a good experience a good visit.actual knowledge about whatever it is i am selling is secondary.if you can handle people that is the best skill

9:23 am

hurshy

i've been lucky, lately, that the jobs i have interviewed for, i have felt iffy about, and they haven't been offered to me, so i didn't have to decide! :)

9:24 am

crosshair

but of course everything i do up here is tourist trade fodder

9:25 am

crosshair

it is all the art of the sale

9:26 am

hurshy

yeah i'm not in sales.

9:26 am

crosshair

sell,then gas,sell them books,hell sell them my car and house if the price is right

9:27 am

JBV

hi folks - crossy - remember we were talking about book stores the other day and someone mentioned the BBC series Black Books - have you ever seen it?

9:27 am

JBV

very funny - exactly NOT the way to run a book store - he does everything to shoo customers out so he can just sit and read

9:27 am

crosshair

no i have not jbv

9:28 am

crosshair

lol

9:28 am

JBV

I ordered it from Netflix - it's not my style of humor, but I did get a few good laughs

9:28 am

FMitch

Back again with mug of tea seeing as crossy was too busy ;)

9:28 am

crosshair

that what you have to be carefull of.not to turn your books store into your own private collectuon

9:29 am

crosshair

damn typos

9:29 am

JBV

you would probably enjoy it

9:29 am

gremlinn

fireworks unaided

9:29 am

crosshair

i shall look it up,is it a tv series or a book set?

9:29 am

crosshair

yaa for gremlinn

9:29 am

FMitch

Will you have to remind yourself of that crossy when you do open your store?

9:30 am

JBV

I saw the first season of the BBC tv series - I think it was 6 episodes on the DVD

9:30 am

JBV

probably based on a book, though

9:30 am

crosshair

there have been a few delays fm.i will have to keep you posted

9:30 am

FMitch

Hi and congrats gremlinn and thanks for the lists you put up when lickety is indisposed.

9:30 am

gremlinn

9:31 am

car.eeyore

Well done Gremlinn!!!!

9:31 am

JBV

the story is about nothing - it's kind of a British "Seinfeld" - three loser friends who get in the usual scrapes

9:31 am

JBV

there's my 25-word review, free of charge :)

9:31 am

crosshair

and the bbc way of filming is hard on north american eyes most of the time and takes getting used to

9:32 am

crosshair

it is all in the camera angles,lighting aND THE WAY THEY PAN THE CAMERA AND OR SWICH TO A DIFFERENT PERSON TALKING

9:32 am

crosshair

sorry caps

9:33 am

crosshair

for instance i love james herriot and his vetcapades,but try and watch the series i go into a coma lol

9:34 am

Haz1558

Times have changed since Herriot was filmed. Now it's fashionable to pretend that the cameraman wants to induce seasickness in the audience.

9:35 am

FMitch

lol @ vetcapades. Wonders if Mr Haz has any of those?

9:35 am

car.eeyore

Whew! Finally NBT!

9:35 am

FMitch

It is a long time since you told us a story Haz.

9:35 am

Haz1558

9:36 am

vanillaslice

9:36 am

FMitch

I still smile when i think of the goat on the bed one.

9:36 am

vanillaslice

the other is the re9/66

9:36 am

Haz1558

I know, the goat owner is still a client.

9:37 am

FMitch

really? LOL!

9:37 am

Haz1558

His old aunts are dead and he's living in a more modern place but he's still farming away.

9:37 am

FMitch

re9 = someone who choses to live in isolation

9:37 am

car.eeyore

re 4/5 is short for an activity room with a plural at the end....or old vinyl RE*ord*

9:38 am

vanillaslice

9:38 am

car.eeyore

TY FM!

rubyfoo

hello car.ee

9:43 am

rubyfoo

9:43 am

crosshair

((ruby))

9:43 am

Haz1558

re9 - the state that a hermit might live in. Think of a lonely word starting with s and make it r instead.

9:43 am

rubyfoo

aaaah, got the re9! yay

9:43 am

rubyfoo

ty haz, but had just gotten it

9:44 am

FMitch

tsk tsk ruby, I'll come over and be your PA for a month and get you filed and sorted :)

9:44 am

rubyfoo

9:45 am

FMitch

lol

9:45 am

rubyfoo

but yo're welcome to try, FM, and the roses and peonies are almost ready to pop. And my little baby lilac has surprsingly large sprays of almost-open flowers

9:47 am

rubyfoo

(imagine ruby giving helpful hints) fofl

9:47 am

crosshair

more that likely ruby ty:)

9:47 am

rururocks

If I ever finish this grid.. I am never doing it again

9:48 am

Haz1558

Run together most of a hermit with a charged particle for the re9.

9:48 am

rubyfoo

hahah ruru

9:48 am

Haz1558

Never doing what again? Babble? This grid? Making bad puns?

9:48 am

crosshair

ty haz and ruby

9:48 am

FMitch

Mum was saying on the phone today that she would like a laptop (bear in mind she has no PC experience nor can type). I tried to explain that to use a laptop and the internet you need a connection through the phone. We decided to talk about something else :)

9:49 am

rururocks

no.. haz.. just this grid

9:49 am

rubyfoo

maybe from the wrong like

9:49 am

crosshair

not the person the act of..now it makes sense

9:49 am

rubyfoo

or life

9:49 am

FMitch

Hey ruru!

9:49 am

crosshair

get her hooked up with 3 g wireless fm

9:49 am

rururocks

hey FM.. Haz is picking on my punning

9:50 am

FMitch

May this grid never revisit us!
Can you blame her ruru?

9:50 am

rubyfoo

there is a whole new book out on punning, reviewed yesterday in the Int'l Herald Tribune, perfect for ruru

9:50 am

Haz1558

FM is my back-up.

9:50 am

rururocks

godspeed to her I say!

9:50 am

crosshair

i type like a cat running across the keyboard and it has never stopped me;))

9:50 am

rubyfoo

ruru do you know chattanooga choo choo jokes?

9:50 am

FMitch

at least she is not pruning your punning.

9:51 am

rururocks

no...ruby I don't

9:51 am

crosshair

crossy talks to the wall....

9:51 am

rubyfoo

if you e-mail me, I'll send you some; if you like puns, they're terrif

9:51 am

rururocks

NOt sure I'd let Haz near me with pruning shears

9:51 am

rubyfoo

uh oh.....

9:52 am

FMitch

I now crossy, they have a PC up in the office but to do the whole wireless thing and get her up and running would just be too much for her.

9:52 am

rubyfoo

how old is your mum, FM?

9:52 am

crosshair

:(

9:52 am

rururocks

...this grid is impossible...

9:53 am

FMitch

'talks to the wall' - Shirley Valentine' - great movie.

82 ruby

9:53 am

rubyfoo

I keep trying helas NOT

9:53 am

rubyfoo

younger than my prince

9:54 am

Haz1558

Not impossible, ruru. You must pull yourself together and remember that you're a seasoned babbler. We don't give up.

9:54 am

FMitch

Think I will just delcare an open bar in the PB until flip time and we can forget about the poopy grid.

9:54 am

FMitch

Very good Haz - stiff upper lip and all that and soilder on through!

9:54 am

rururocks

what am I seasoned with.. garlic and oregano?

9:54 am

crosshair

open bar??....WHERE?

9:54 am

rubyfoo

open bar sounds good to me! I mix excellent martinis and margueritas, will bring the necessaries

9:55 am

crosshair

crossy dives into the pb

9:55 am

Haz1558

Absolutely, keep calm and carry one.

9:55 am

FMitch

PB crossie

9:55 am

crosshair

already there fm:))

9:55 am

rubyfoo

poopy grid is right, hahah

9:55 am

FMitch

and with the good wather over here it might be time for the cabana boys to get dusted off.

9:56 am

rubyfoo

can you believe there's a fr football player named that?

9:56 am

FMitch

oh for heavens sake - spelling has gone out the window today.

9:56 am

MollyL

*Nominates FM "Babble Queen Of The Day"*

9:56 am

bichon

Hi everyone

9:57 am

rubyfoo

9:57 am

rubyfoo

9:57 am

Haz1558

I was going to say, FM, your spelling is even more creative than usual.

9:57 am

rubyfoo

sounds like a grand party

9:57 am

FMitch

lol Molly and Hi bichon

9:57 am

crosshair

is 6/24 and is 7/36=is+ what sounds like the board applied to a home to hold the gutter on

9:57 am

FMitch

Been up since 5am Haz and that is my excuse.

9:58 am

Haz1558

I'm suspicious about FM getting nominated for Babble Queen right after she announces open bar and cabana boys.

9:58 am

MollyL

Why Haz? That's why I nominated her. : )

9:58 am

FMitch

awe don't steal my brief moment of glory :(

9:59 am

Haz1558

I knew it. Telling people to keep calm and carry on with stiff upper lips just isn't popular.

9:59 am

crosshair

we prefer panic,weeping,wailing and gnashing of teeth

9:59 am

FMitch

well at least I tried the Brit approach first.

9:59 am

rururocks

...I ...can't...find... one...more.. word...*collapses*

9:59 am

rubyfoo

I found an is6/24, Italian island, but it doesn't have a plural. Is that what you meant crossy?

9:59 am

Haz1558

Wimp.

10:00 am

MollyL

Haz, I was afraid nominating you might interfere with your...um...secret...um...stuff.

10:00 am

rubyfoo

OK, girls, let's pick up ruru - 1, 2, 3!

10:00 am

FMitch

*passes ruru a cognac*

10:00 am

crosshair

it was a rough clue only ruby it has a strangle pl for the 7

10:00 am

Haz1558

Ah. Understood.

10:00 am

crosshair

well,even that is not really a pl,

10:00 am

MollyL

Very confused about is 6/24. I thought it was an anatomical term.

10:01 am

FMitch

it is that too Molly

10:01 am

crosshair

i just clued with a sound alike molly not an exact definition

10:01 am

MollyL

I see. An anatomical Italian island. Oy.

10:01 am

crosshair

i rarely clue with exact definitions

10:01 am

FMitch

a greek island or similar and a hip related thingy

10:02 am

MollyL

No, Ruby said it was an Italian island.

10:02 am

Haz1558

FM goes to the top of the anatomy class with that accurate description.

10:02 am

rubyfoo

watch out for Italian doctors!

10:02 am

crosshair

but anyways on we go...

10:02 am

rururocks

I thought it was a creepy Chia-Pet

10:02 am

FMitch

*giggles and chokes on tea at the same time* gee thanks Haz

10:03 am

rururocks

*heads to the wet bar in the PB.. it was worth it*

10:03 am

rubyfoo

uh oh, ruru is at the party!

10:03 am

MollyL

*Heads to the open bar to sc6/39 a drink*

10:03 am

crosshair

good lord..someone pour me a shot of something strong....

10:04 am

rubyfoo

what are you doing to that drink molly?

10:04 am

FMitch

Triple vodka with 2 tetleys Tbags on ice sir.

10:05 am

rubyfoo

did anybody ever have Long Island iced tea? I've had it in bars but could never replicate it at home although lord knows I've tried

10:05 am

MollyL

sc6/39ing it Ruby

10:05 am

crosshair

sounds good..crossy put tea bags on his eyes and slams the 3 fingers of vodka down and chases it with a shot of absinthe

10:05 am

bichon

sc 6/39?

10:05 am

Haz1558

Minveryork's going to have one strange tale to tell with her clue story.

10:06 am

rururocks

I don't see that sc either

10:06 am

rururocks

lol haz.. that's for sure

10:06 am

FMitch

ROFL crossy

10:06 am

MollyL

*So glad that good vodka was not polluted with tea*

10:06 am

Haz1558

sc6/39 - sc plus a phonetic rendition of what the hyena is famous for (kind of).

10:06 am

crosshair

ruby,i used to bar tend and i can make you a traditional long island iced tea...no pre mix

10:06 am

crosshair

do you wish the recipue ruby?

10:06 am

bichon

does it have a double consoant?

10:07 am

MollyL

sc + alternate spelling of ha ha ha

10:07 am

Haz1558

Or s plus Mr Clavin from Cheers, different vowel.

10:07 am

rubyfoo

10:07 am

MollyL

Yes Bich

10:07 am

Haz1558

And make it the one who does for sc8.

10:08 am

crosshair

k

10:08 am

rubyfoo

is it only clear liquors?

10:08 am

rururocks

oh jeezus.. no wonder I'm struggling.. these aren't words

10:08 am

Haz1558

A bad babbler blames the words.

10:08 am

MollyL

It's a great word. I'm going to use it in so many different ways. Like sc6/39 it all to hell! AND I don't give a sc6/39 about that.

10:09 am

rubyfoo

I had to look it up; it's a golfing term

10:09 am

MollyL

*Pours Ru another drink*

10:09 am

rururocks

that's so funny Molly I forgot to sc6

10:09 am

rubyfoo

maybe tiger needs to know it, might help his game

10:09 am

MollyL

Ru, Haz called you Bad.

10:09 am

rubyfoo

sc sc sc

10:10 am

rururocks

he would need a ho in front of the s ruby..lol

10:10 am

FMitch

but doesn't bad mean good these days? or has it reverted again?

10:10 am

rubyfoo

2 more for half, then I can feed the hungry troops

10:10 am

Haz1558

It's reverse psychology, I'm trying to get ruru fired up with enthusiasm.

10:10 am

FMitch

I am sadly lacking in street talk.

10:10 am

rubyfoo

sc sc sc!!!!

10:10 am

rururocks

Haz has license to rib me as much as she wants

10:11 am

Haz1558

*smug*

10:11 am

rururocks

I was enthusiastic until I hit 50 words to go

10:11 am

rubyfoo

yay, half! see you after dinner and after I find crossy's recipe

10:11 am

rururocks

yo! FM wassup?

10:12 am

MollyL

FM needs to get some phat street cred.

10:12 am

FMitch

Ahh that was the point i sunk too ruru but did get there in the end although with my usage of morewords I have paid for Haz's daughter wedding several times.

10:12 am

Haz1558

It's a bit of a slog, I'll grant you. But we've seen worse, much worse.

10:12 am

rururocks

Yes.. buys FM's some really extra large pants that hang down and shows her underwear...

10:13 am

FMitch

Just seeing yo when it is not a typo makes me shudder :)

10:13 am

crosshair

ok ruby i have sent it to you

10:13 am

rururocks

10:13 am

rubyfoo

10:13 am

rubyfoo

ty crossy, I'll stagger back to the grid after din

10:14 am

crosshair

lol be careful.after 3 of those your legs do not work anymore

10:14 am

rubyfoo

they do literal translations which don't usually work - back to that Italian doctor.....

10:14 am

MollyL

Why is fonk not a word? I'm sure it was used on Batman.

10:14 am

rururocks

that was Bonk molly..

10:14 am

crosshair

it is a "creeper' drink they sneak up on you

10:14 am

rubyfoo

they translate all bad words as me***

10:15 am

crosshair

and it tastes exactly like iced tea..you cannot taste the booze lol

10:16 am

FMitch

Boink surley ruru unless it was a secrect message between Batman and Robin?

10:16 am

rubyfoo

that's like putting booze into Red Bull (not in my experience, however)

10:16 am

Haz1558

FM is starting to need subtitles herself.

10:17 am

rubyfoo

secrect sounds like an underground religion!

10:17 am

rubyfoo

tell the truth, has anyone here actually tried Red Bull?

10:17 am

MollyL

One sip. It tastes like liquid Pixie Stix. Gross.

10:17 am

FMitch

sorry Haz, it's all this blue sky and sun - justnot used to it.

10:18 am

rubyfoo

Pixie Stix?

10:18 am

Haz1558

Well, time I was getting off my ac8/55 (hip thingies) and heading off for a walk. Toodle-oo!

10:18 am

MollyL

A sugary powdered candy that used to come in straw tubes.

10:18 am

FMitch

Bye Haz have a good walk with the glittery one.

10:18 am

rubyfoo

we had those but by a different name, molly

10:19 am

rubyfoo

10:19 am

FMitch

Bye ruby

10:20 am

crosshair

i do not care for any of the "energy" drinks all of them seem to have mango juice

10:21 am

FMitch

Way too much caffine in most of them.

10:21 am

MollyL

Isn't that the point FM?

10:21 am

FMitch

true but so open to abuse.

10:22 am

MollyL

Between the Starbucks and the energy drinks, it's a wonder some young'uns don't sprout wings and fly.

10:23 am

6:03 pm

lilliann

hope all is well with you molly

6:03 pm

lilliann

6:04 pm

MollyL

I've been through some incredibly tough things in the last year or so. I've come to realize that it's the small, gentle things we do for people that mean the most. Must be quiet without your girl Lilliann. Sue, continued good thoughts out for Dad's wife.

6:04 pm

uusue2

no although he texted me back after I texted him asking what was up (he'd texted me Sunday morning to tell me she was quite ill)

6:05 pm

6:07 pm

lilliann

6:26 pm

6:26 pm

lilliann

i'm glad you got it peri, took me ages to think of a clue!

6:26 pm

what are you sorry about lil, the clue was great

6:27 pm

MollyL

I have a hard time with grids like this, full of (to me) nonsense words.

6:27 pm

lilliann

57 here. i started at 9pm here and shouldn't have done!

6:27 pm

periwinkle

neer saw a rabbit like that gobias

6:27 pm

periwinkle

never, even

6:27 pm

lilliann

thanks peri

6:28 pm

Gobias

They seem to be popular around here right now peri. Someone looked it up the other night and I guess they are a fairly new breed.

6:28 pm

lilliann

neither have i peri, it's cute but strange looking , being half and half?

6:29 pm

lilliann

so what are the breeds than gobias?

6:29 pm

lilliann

as it is obviously cross bred??

6:29 pm

Gobias

He is a lionhead. I'm not sure what was mixed to come up with that?

6:31 pm

lilliann

oh ok, i love his head and wish his whole body was the same or vice a verca, maybe thats just me! but he's still cute and cuddly :)

6:31 pm

lilliann

i love long haired guinea pigs

6:32 pm

Gobias

I just googled it... they think it may have started as a cross between a dwarf and a wooly rabbit (like the jersey wooley)

6:33 pm

Gobias

He is lucky he is cute, because he really isn't cuddly! He has a very outgoing personality, but would rather not be handled.

6:33 pm

lilliann

oh ok, i've heard of a dwarf rabbit, but not a wooly one

6:33 pm

Gobias

And I also love long haired GPigs! I used to have 2. They were the best.

6:33 pm

lilliann

why do breeders cross breed animals?

6:34 pm

Gobias

I guess lionheads are a recognized breed in England? (I know nothing about showing rabbits! LOL)

6:34 pm

Gobias

I don't know, Lilliann. I hate that they do it with dogs and charge ridiculous fees for a "mutt."

6:35 pm

Gobias

be back in a bit... my computer is being taken over.

6:35 pm

lilliann

ahh, i love them gobias, never had any as i've always had cats, but when me and the bairn go to the local farm, we can hold rabbits and guinea pigs and i always push the bairns out of the way with my wheelchair so i can hold a guinea pig!! lol

7:13 pm

redturtlehead

I need a pair. my legs are sore, and I feel like whining but..I took care of a guy with Lou gherigs disease today, he could not move his arms...so hurty legs...not so bad.

7:14 pm

lilliann

i've never heard heard of Lou gherigs disease red. what is it?

7:15 pm

redturtlehead

It's a late developing neuromuscular disorder. Starts late in life, like 40's and pt is not able to control voluntary muscle movements and it is progressive...

7:17 pm

lilliann

is that all muscles or just certain ones?

7:17 pm

lilliann

as in just arms? legs etc

7:17 pm

lilliann

or all

7:17 pm

redturtlehead

generally it eventually involves all the muscles, and will usually eventually cause death...

7:17 pm

kje

lou gherig's = ALS

7:18 pm

lilliann

oh no, never heard of it? is it rare?

7:19 pm

redturtlehead

He was the first patient I have had who has it, so yes, fairly rare.

7:19 pm

redturtlehead

Lou Gherig was a famous Baseball player in the US, so it is more known here.

7:19 pm

redturtlehead

Hello KJE.

redturtlehead

7:20 pm

lilliann

wtg sue

7:20 pm

kje

rare-ish, but one of the more common neuromuscular diseases... I have see quite a few cases

7:21 pm

Nef

famous British physicist Steven Hawkings has ALS/Lou Gerhigs' disease

7:21 pm

lilliann

with people in their 40's kje?

7:21 pm

kje

starts in 40s to 60s usually

7:21 pm

lilliann

he is brilliant nef

7:21 pm

redturtlehead

it generally develops later in life.

7:21 pm

kje

yes, most I have see are in 40s or 50s

7:21 pm

redturtlehead

Like in the 40's and beyond.

7:22 pm

lilliann

so, how does it start?

7:22 pm

lilliann

(symptoms i mean

7:22 pm

kje

weakness

7:23 pm

lilliann

in muscles?

7:23 pm

kje

yes... any muscle group but usually a limb, but sometimes more cenntral

7:24 pm

lilliann

ok

7:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

wow little more than halfway and i am stumped

7:26 pm

Nef

Correct me if I'm wrong here (and I often am lately!) but ALS and MS have some similarities at first, don't they,kje?

7:26 pm

kje

how is that?

7:27 pm

lilliann

i'm doing well so far :) i have muscle problems but that's because i can't walk, and my wrists and fingers are now affected, well, the last few years! my fingers have arthritis and my wrists i've had problems since i was 17, now 42 and geting on!! :)

7:27 pm

kje

i don't think of them the same

7:27 pm

lbdawger

hi nef, kje and TO

7:27 pm

lilliann

but i've been told i have arthritis in my fingers

7:28 pm

Nef

kind of a weird, vague weakness that's difficult to figure out?

7:28 pm

kje

ALS is purely motor... MS ca be motor or sesory ad has a very different course

7:28 pm

Nef

hi lbd

7:28 pm

lilliann

hi To, sorry, i missed you

7:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

7:32 pm

lilliann

my friend has MS aswell nef and it took the doctors a while to find it...apparently she had had it for years but not that thay couls see

7:32 pm

Nef

I just Googled the difference and they aren't the same but both can affect gait and strength; and that's kind of what I meant by they start out with kid of vague weakness es

7:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

7:35 pm

lbdawger

7:35 pm

7:36 pm

Nef

lillian, I don't think my DH would have gone to the doctor when he had his first symptoms of MS; but I noticed a huge change in him and thought he had a stroke so made him go in.

7:36 pm

lilliann

i was the same with meneires, it took my consulstants years as i had different ?? can't think of the word and i had menieres and basilier migraine and they showed up by electrodes on my head, which is why i get dizzy and pass out...what joy!! but hey, i'm here and i love life and have a bairn who i do things ith when i can

7:36 pm

lilliann

*menieres

7:38 pm

lilliann

i didn't go to my gp for a couple months nef, but i was passing out at work and getting dizzy, ny gp at the time told me to take a holiday!!

7:39 pm

lilliann

great advice when you can't afford to take time off1

7:39 pm

kje

do you have hearig loss?

7:39 pm

lilliann

yes

7:39 pm

lilliann

i have 2 hearing aids

7:39 pm

Nef

I've always thought it was easier to observe health problems in other people than it was to see them in myself.

7:39 pm

kje

classic

7:40 pm

kje

that was meat for lill

7:40 pm

lilliann

i now have no balance as my hearing was destroyed by injection in one ear when my balance was already gone, naturally in the othe one

7:41 pm

kje

doesn't seem to hold you back, lill

7:41 pm

lilliann

i get ringing in the ears alot of the time, especially when i'm lying down which drives me crazy!!

7:42 pm

kje

classic meniere's

7:42 pm

kje

I thik the ringing would almost be the worst

7:43 pm

lilliann

problem is, it does kje, as i lie down alot during the day because of dizzy spells and now since balance wne t my memory has been affected and i ger pressue in my head, i can't reach down to my toes sometimes, or up in the air

7:43 pm

Nef

I would think the ringing would be horrid too. I've had the ringing with ear infections, and it's so terribly annoying

7:44 pm

lilliann

i can't excercise, can't go back and forwards as in rowing motion, etc

7:45 pm

lilliann

it's not nice nef as it can happen any time of the day

7:45 pm

kje

didn't mea to imply it doesn't affect you... just meant you still seem to do a lot.. travel and such when you can

7:46 pm

kje

meat i admire that you are out there doing what you ca

7:46 pm

lilliann

what annoys me, is that i had medical treatment because my consultant said it would work, amnd since then i lost my balance completely and lost my bairn's childhood...as in could skip, jump with her etc

7:47 pm

Nef

lillian, are you in a wheel chair?

7:48 pm

lilliann

i travel as i'm sick of being stuck in my house 24/7, and i do get dizzy flying, but i don't care as i love taking off and landing even tho it does my head in!! lol...np kje, i didn't take offence1 :)

7:48 pm

lilliann

yes nef

7:49 pm

Nef

the reason I ask is because my DH's mother was in a wheelchair from the time he was 6 yrs old on and THAT wasn't what he remembered about her

7:49 pm

lilliann
