ah there you are! is the wedding being shown on CBC?

1:21 am

flosey

Jilli, sorry

1:21 am

scouser

An infant school up the road had a party yesterday on their field. It was a lovely sunny day for them all in their pretty frocks and waving flags. Nostalgic.

1:21 am

jillibus

also tried clearing the cache on the desktop to get Lickety -- didn't work.

1:21 am

rururocks

finito!!!!!!!!!!!

1:21 am

scouser

That's fab jillibus. I got Lickety - do you want me to put it on my profile?

1:21 am

flosey

I want to tape the wedding, can't stay up to watch it, have to be out of here about 9:30

1:22 am

flosey

well done ru

1:23 am

scouser

I have not got a TV. Only the internet. I will be in the garden instead.

1:24 am

jillibus

It's being shown just about everywhere, flosey -- CBC, CTV, Global and as far as I can see at least NBC among the US channels

1:24 am

flosey

oh great, thanks jilli

1:24 am

flosey

going to go down and set the tape, bbs

1:25 am

jillibus

it's ok, scouser -- I have Lickety on my laptop (using Babble Expert) -- it's just that the new desktop is being difficult

1:27 am

scouser

One day there will be a new computer that is completely backwards-compatible and endowed with every driver under the sun and will run everything properly. One day.....

1:29 am

jillibus

the weird thing is that when the hiccup takes place at 2 am grid time, all will be well on the desktop. I have a techie coming on Tuesday to try to sort it out.

1:34 am

scouser

2 am grid time, for four minutes or so, is when Babble server has its tantrum and is doing a backup. I e-mailed Dr God and got that info from Jamie T in reply.

1:40 am

jillibus

yes, I know -- and for some reason it fixes Babble Expert on my desktop -- updates it.

1:41 am

jillibus

(sorry -- took a break to do some kitchen chores)

1:42 am

flosey

back for a bit, am reusing an old tape, presume it's ok

1:46 am

scouser

Weather forecast for London is sunny until the afternoon when it might rain a bit; cooler than yesterday at about 12-14 degs. Here in the northwest it is mild sunny-through-mist and no wind at all. English preoccupation with the weather coming to the fore there!

1:49 am

scouser

ad5/14 for now.

1:50 am

flosey

bye for now scouser

1:52 am

jillibus

toddles, scouser -- happy gardening!

1:53 am

jillibus

I mean toodles, sigh.

1:54 am

scouser

well, I do toddle now and then

1:57 am

jillibus

btw, I have two little Union Jacks in a holder on the windowsill in the front of my house, in honour of the celebration.

1:58 am

flosey

lovely, jilli

2:14 am

jillibus

Hooray -- post-hiccup, and Lickety is up on the Desktop.

2:15 am

flosey

super, jilli

2:16 am

flosey

too tired to see any more, goodnight jilli

2:17 am

jillibus

Another oddity -- before the hiccup I went to the plain ordinary Babble (not Expert) and clicked on Lickety's Babble Clues, and they showed up.

2:18 am

jillibus

Goodnight, flosey -- hope your old tape works!

2:36 am

rubyfoo

GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY! whoops, didn't mean to shout

2:36 am

rubyfoo

is anybody still here?

2:37 am

Trifioso

i am here ruby, but only sort of. should be sleeping

2:39 am

rubyfoo

I'm trying to get myself moving. Slow, achy start this morning; there must be more rain coming.

2:39 am

rubyfoo

I'm trying to get myself moving. Slow, achy start this morning; there must be more rain coming.

2:39 am

rubyfoo

How are you, trif?

2:39 am

Trifioso

i am fine, thank you!

2:39 am

rubyfoo

I loved yesterday's grid, but only had time for a little more than half

2:39 am

Trifioso

how are you doing?

2:40 am

rubyfoo

we needed the rain respertely as they were about to impose water restrictions, but I feel much better when it's warm and sunny and dry

2:41 am

rubyfoo

that was supposed to be desperately, duh, my spelling is a little off this AM hahah

2:41 am

Trifioso

we are drowning over here....I swear, a million or two bugs were born in the last two days

2:42 am

rubyfoo

gnats or mayflies? you need to import wome lizards!

2:42 am

rubyfoo

some*

2:42 am

Trifioso

both I think...some sort of pteradactyl made it's way in the house yesterday...free dog snacks! (ack)

2:43 am

rubyfoo

did the dog clean up after himself....or leave a trail of little feet and tails....

2:44 am

Trifioso

swallowed it one dusty, bogus gulp!

2:44 am

Trifioso

more evidence that dogs will do things human would NEVER do!

2:44 am

rubyfoo

ack is right

2:45 am

rubyfoo

I am always washing out the dogs' water bowls and then they drink from the fish pond, brown mucky water!

2:46 am

rubyfoo

I love my dogs but don't claim that they're brilliant, that's for sure!

2:48 am

Trifioso

watching some early coverage of the royal wedding in england....thinking that a fairly effective drinking game would be "drink every time someone says the word 'diana'"....would be hammered in NO time!

2:48 am

rubyfoo

who is daying "Diana". Poor Camilla!

2:48 am

rubyfoo

slip

2:48 am

rubyfoo

slit

2:48 am

rubyfoo

slid

2:49 am

Trifioso

every single person they have interviewed, so far

2:49 am

rubyfoo

whoops, so sorry

2:49 am

rubyfoo

that's disgusting! Is there coffee in the PB?

2:50 am

rubyfoo

the last "royal" thing I watched was Queen Elizabeth's coronation, but I was 10

2:51 am

lynxxx

Hello Trif & Ruby. I think it is understandable - it is her first born and he looks so much like her. Don't think it reflects on Camilla at all.

2:51 am

rubyfoo

I am more worried about the bombing in Marrakesh. My handyman and his 8 yrs old son arrived there yesterday morning for a one-week holiday!

2:51 am

rubyfoo

{{lynxx}} I hope not, as I feel sorry for Camilla

2:52 am

Trifioso

I think it can't be avoided. everyone is going to be thinking of her today, it seems

2:54 am

Trifioso

Honestly, I hope the day goes well for them. there was a very worrying report on the news this week about protests that are planned for today, and some very concerning web sites

2:55 am

rubyfoo

how could anyone protest such a lovely match

2:55 am

lynxxx

The royal weddings are such a spectacle. Of course people will compare it to Charles & Diana. It is nice to have something happening that is not concerned with natural disasters or terrorism for a change.

2:55 am

lynxxx

When does the tornado season finish Trif - it is just awful over there

2:56 am

Trifioso

it seems a lot of people are vexed at the thought of the wedding costing the taxpayers anything, when england is having to cut services

2:56 am

rubyfoo

that's true, lynxx, but the idea of the public having to pay for the wedding is crazy. Isn't the queen the richest woman in the world?

2:57 am

lynxxx

Think of all the money pouring in though. Are you sure the 'public' is paying?

2:57 am

Trifioso

I am not sure, lynxxx -- it lasts all summer, anyway

2:57 am

rubyfoo

this year's tornados in the US are the worst I can ever remember

2:57 am

rubyfoo

near

2:58 am

rubyfoo

peats

2:58 am

Haz1558

The whole question of payment for the wedding is subject to rumour and counter rumour. No, the taxpayers are not paying for everything. Apart from anything else, they'll say it'll cost so much for policing when the police would be getting paid anyway.

2:58 am

Trifioso

it has been a heck of a tornado season, so soon

2:59 am

rubyfoo

I love you both, but I had better stop chatting because I'm too scattered to get my words in the right box!

2:59 am

lynxxx

Charles is paying for the wedding but the public pays for the "security" - police I guess

2:59 am

Trifioso

oh, ruby honey, I don't mind if you goof now and then. love you too!

2:59 am

lynxxx

Hi Haz

2:59 am

Haz1558

Ditto the military. It's not like they would be getting no pay unless they turned out to do their wedding spectacle duty.

3:00 am

lynxxx

'zactly

3:00 am

rubyfoo

thank you, trif, but because of Marrakesh, I didn't sleep much

3:00 am

Haz1558

And they've already got all the uniforms, the coaches are there anyway etc.

3:00 am

Trifioso

I think Kate is just lovely. I wish them both well. I was nervous as all get out on my wedding day, and we only had about 125 guests. I cannot even bear the idea of what that young woman is taking on!

3:01 am

rubyfoo

she seems like a lovely girl andhe, a fine young man!

3:02 am

Haz1558

And frankly, by the time it's over, we'll not notice a penny of difference in our taxes and those who get benefits from the government will not notice any difference.

3:02 am

Trifioso

the hats ALONE are worth watching the wedding for. wow!

3:02 am

lynxxx

and are you glued to the TV Haz? might pick up some tips?!

3:03 am

Trifioso

I would pay my weight in gold to have Dame Edna arrive in her full splendidness....

3:03 am

Trifioso

splendor?

3:03 am

Haz1558

No, I haven't turned on the TV yet. I'll watch the ceremony but I'm going to a concert this afternoon (Music for a Royal wedding) which will be broadcast on Radio 3, so I'm looking foward to that.

3:04 am

rubyfoo

I think for Dame Edna, splendidness is correct! lol

3:04 am

BabbleRabble

Without a scintilla of proof, I rather think it is an oversimplification to say the cost of security on the day of a royal wedding is not considerably more than on a day without a royal wedding.

3:04 am

Haz1558

Nevertheless, it's probably not going to be as much as the figures that are bandied around.

3:05 am

rubyfoo

hello BR. I agree with you because I'm sure they have called in all the people with days off plus reserves and extras and extra pay for longer hours

3:05 am

lynxxx

I think Barry Humphries is a guest - don't think he'll do it in a frock though

3:06 am

rubyfoo

tids

3:06 am

BabbleRabble

But then again, what goes on is none of my business. Certainly, the needs of the common people will always be of less concern. The common people are budget items. Royalty is royalty.

3:07 am

Trifioso

wow, success seems to have many fathers....BBC is interviewing people from out of the wood work of Kate's life...

3:07 am

lynxxx

Same in most societies it seems BR

3:08 am

Haz1558

The needs of the common people are met very handsomely (by US standards) from government coffers. They'll not go without their benefits, don't worry about that.

3:08 am

lynxxx

(not always 'Royalty' but other Upper levels)

3:09 am

Haz1558

Some people make it sound as though beggars are lining the streets of London scrabbling for the crumbs to be thrown from the royal carriage.

3:09 am

Trifioso

its interesting to hear you say that, Haz, as there has been a LOT of coverage here concerning all the programs being cut in London. Not just because of the wedding, of course, but just down to the bad economy

3:09 am

rubyfoo

great image!

3:09 am

Haz1558

They'll be made to stand in an orderly queue, naturally.

3:09 am

rubyfoo

but it sounds a lot like the Tube when I was there last year!

3:10 am

rubyfoo

( is the z only a tease?)

3:10 am

BabbleRabble

I suppose I should go. Being told to not worry is quite comforting.

3:11 am

Haz1558

Trifioso, the economy (and sorry, my eyes glaze over when money in millions is talked about) isn't great, but in real terms this wedding and the government's contribution to it is a drop in the ocean compared to the real money pits.

3:11 am

rubyfoo

but, as they say in France, "Let them eat cake"

3:12 am

lynxxx

lol BabRab, Haz will keep her eagle eyes across it all - no fear

3:12 am

Haz1558

Stay and be worried, BabbleRabble, it's your right.

3:13 am

Haz1558

Let's face it, if the people were that resentful, they wouldn't be turning out in their thousands to see the wedding procession etc.

3:13 am

lynxxx

I'll just enjoy the pageantry, BBL, it has started (watching the BBC coverage on cable)

3:14 am

Trifioso

ummm - the announcer on the BBC just said this is not an official state event, as the Prince is one back from the actual throne.

3:15 am

Haz1558

Those who do resent the money being spent will stay at home and shake their fists at the TV, or spend the day gardening or whatever. And people are free to say what they think on either side, so that's a bonus.

3:15 am

lynxxx

Actually he is now a Duke, and she a Duchess - does this mean he is no longer a Prince?

3:15 am

Trifioso

I hope they do stay at home, haz. It's the people who are planning all sorts of public displays of disapproval I am worried about

3:16 am

Haz1558

He's still a prince, but she wouldn't automatically become a princess upon marriage. The usual shortcut is to make them Duke and Duchess.

3:16 am

rubyfoo

aren't you glad to be Australian, Lynxx, a part of a very democratic society?

3:16 am

Trifioso

duke of cambridge, yes?

3:16 am

lynxxx

Yes, They are now Duke & Duchess of Cambridge

3:16 am

Snoopycat

andres is the duke of york and he is still prince andrew

3:16 am

Snoopycat

andrew

3:17 am

lynxxx

Yes Ruby, but Elizabeth is still Queen of Australia

3:17 am

Trifioso

THIS JUST IN == Victoria Beckham just smiled on camera!

3:17 am

rubyfoo

OMG, did her face crack and bleed?

3:17 am

Trifioso

LOLOL. she has a lovely hat

3:18 am

rubyfoo

and speaking of ti***, did you notice it in the grid?

3:18 am

rubyfoo

accident?

3:18 am

Trifioso

she has ti4s? she seems too skinny

3:18 am

Haz1558

And I still haven't turned on the TV, not even to see Victoria Beckham smile.

3:19 am

rubyfoo

no no, ti5! hahah, trif

3:19 am

rubyfoo

I was talking about Dukes and Princes

3:19 am

Trifioso

((((scarlet))))

3:19 am

jillibus

Well, all the guests are arriving and the selection of hats is interesting. I think my pick would fit in very nicely. Hello everyone!

3:19 am

rubyfoo

hahah, trif!

3:20 am

rubyfoo

3:20 am

Trifioso

morning jili! BBC just interviewed a seemingly sane canadian, so well done to you!

3:20 am

rubyfoo

was it jilli?

3:21 am

jillibus

I've been watching CBC for over an hour

3:21 am

rubyfoo

I think Canadians are the most sane!

3:21 am

jillibus

not me, Trif!

3:21 am

Trifioso

not unless she a) has an infant and b) is outside the balcony, staked out for a good viewing spot!

3:22 am

jillibus

we certainly have insane moments

3:22 am

rubyfoo

jilli's secret life!

3:23 am

jillibus

I have two little Union Jacks in a stand on my front windowsill. Remember, I was born a Brit.

3:26 am

rubyfoo

has anybody used the lovely z yet?

3:26 am

jillibus

not I

3:27 am

jillibus

have you, ruby?

3:27 am

Trifioso

hmmm,thought I had a photo of me wearing a hat to use for today's icon, but I can't find it....

3:27 am

rubyfoo

like scouser, I look like a walking mushroom in a hat, much too short although I love them

3:28 am

rubyfoo

when it's cold I wear my chapka but with dark glasses so not recognizable!

3:28 am

Yvo

good morning Babblers just wanted to have a quicksay on the wedding of two lovely people..yesterdayat 2:15 someone called them2 inbred halfwits,i found that so offensive.with so much tragedy in this world,we chould enjoy this beautyful event.the cost is not an issue . the us spends Millions if not Billions,and the return is we are not liked,and alot of lives are lost.just enjoy this day,my 5 cents worth .

3:28 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Yvo.

3:28 am

rubyfoo

nicely put, Yvo!

3:29 am

rubyfoo

half now and taking a break. See you later!

3:30 am

Yvo

i gave up swimming to watch ,and enjoying it evry minute.

3:32 am

Haz1558

Good! Enjoy it, Yvo. You still swim most days?

3:32 am

hootowl

and I should be in bed 2 hrs ago! I have one z in a p4.

3:33 am

hootowl

I hate hats.

3:33 am

Yvo

evry day for the last 12 years

3:33 am

hootowl

I am not watching the wedding

3:34 am

Haz1558

You're very dedicated. I can't swim a stroke.

3:34 am

hootowl

HI!

3:34 am

Haz1558

Hello, hoot.

3:34 am

Haz1558

Are you not watching the wedding because of your hat hatred?

3:35 am

Haz1558

I've not got it on either, but will watch the ceremony later.

3:35 am

hootowl

No - just not interested

3:35 am

Yvo

seems that nothing hurts in the water,and feel so good after it.

3:35 am

Haz1558

And you don't mind all the getting dried and dressed afterwards?

3:37 am

jillibus

I love swimming -- have done so since age 3. Got a diving prize (a silver spoon engraved with the date) when I was 4. Water baby.

3:37 am

Trifioso

if I had to sit behind some of the hats, I would be so grumpy! some of them just cannot be seen around!

3:38 am

Yvo

have a good day Haze im lurking ,have to make some coffee and just let it all happen .no i dont mind a person is a creature of habit,it comes automaticly take care haze see you again soon.

3:38 am

Glantarell

morning all - what's with the hats being worn on the forehead? Looks ridiculous!

3:38 am

Haz1558

I'd be grumpy if I had to be at a wedding for hours before the ceremony.

3:38 am

jillibus

Beckham's wife's "fascinator" is really way out.

3:38 am

Haz1558

Bye, Yvo, nice to talk to you.

3:39 am

Trifioso

I like her hat better than that bright blue thing a few seconds ago...

3:39 am

jillibus

Oh, I thought hers was the blue thing.

3:40 am

Trifioso

hers is dark blue

3:40 am

Glantarell

victoria beckham is entirely in black - doen't feel apprpriate for a wedding

3:40 am

jillibus

I have CBC on here and BBC in the kitchen, lol!

3:40 am

Glantarell

i am wearing a fuschia hat LOL but even though i have refreshed several times i still seem to be an easter bunny

3:40 am

Trifioso

is her dress black? I thought it was sort of a navy

3:41 am

jillibus

I guess I was looking at the wrong person -- she wasn't identified exactly.

3:41 am

Glantarell

tara palmer tomlinson is the blue forehead hat

3:41 am

Haz1558

Now try to explain Tara Palmer Tomkinson!

3:42 am

jillibus

I see yours when I click on your bunny, glant. Very nice!

3:42 am

Trifioso

bbc is making me giggle - their two female correspondents have the same name as my daughters, so it's quite funny - over to you, back to you...

3:42 am

jillibus

who is Tara Palmer Tomkinson?

3:42 am

Glantarell

socialite

3:43 am

Glantarell

semi nobility and celebrity

3:43 am

Haz1558

She's an old family friend, probably infamous for drug abuse in earlier times.

3:43 am

Glantarell

i love the trees in the abbey

3:45 am

Trifioso

me too! gives it a lovely natural, softer look

3:46 am

jillibus

I love the whole thing -- so good to see so much happiness for a change.

3:46 am

Trifioso

have found an icon with lots of hats. everyone can choose one

3:46 am

Glantarell

well, i am off to watch it with friends - see you when it's all over

3:47 am

jillibus

great, Trif!

3:47 am

Trifioso

elton john has arrived in his hat of hair!

3:47 am

jillibus

bye, Glant -- I don't have many friends willing to stay up until about 4 am our time

3:48 am

jillibus

Oh I missed Elton

3:49 am

Trifioso

I cannot even imagine how Kate is feeling right now

3:49 am

hootowl

I give up! 10 left for whenever I regain consiousness tomorrow. Have fun with your wedding. g'night

Aww, Google's wedding graphic is sweet (although I'm starting to feel like there's nowhere to go even in the virtual world where it's possible to avoid the ... uh ... enthusiasm.

Right, I'd better go and get ready to be distracted along with the rest of you. Enjoy the grid and the day - bye for now!

I'm watching the wedding on TV and Babbling at the same time. Seen Elton and David, and the Beckhams.

4:05 am

Trifioso

golly, some of the seats in this abbey are completely blocked off all view. can you imagine? You get an invite to the wedding, you are all excited, and upon arrival it's "sit here behind this pole, thanks"

4:06 am

City 17 dweller

I have to go; trying my chances at finding a garden centre open. Happy wedding-watching, folks.

4:06 am

I agree, Trif. And the hats will block a lot of people's views, soo.

4:19 am

prince william looks pretty darn anxious. can't blame the poor guy

4:20 am

Good Enough

This is so exciting! I'm so glad I got up early to watch!

i agree. my two daughters, however, ages 11 and 14 could not care less.

Hi Hydra. I would love to know what he did but sadly that is a secret

The Queen wears such lovely colours.

4:50 am

herinfernallady

But she never puts a foot wrong.

4:50 am

hydra

Yes, that buttercup yellow looks lovely and fresh on her. And I can't believe Prince Phillip is almost 90.

4:52 am

herinfernallady

I am wondering if I can get info on both Grand and Great Grand parents

4:52 am

hydra

Ooh! First glimpse of the dress! And in my excitement I've dropped some chocolate between my laptop keys.

4:53 am

jillibus

Here comes the bride...

4:53 am

hydra

The dress looks gorgeous! Love that lace.

4:55 am

herinfernallady

I love the dress. But still my hurt aches for my USA friends

4:56 am

jillibus

those kids look so wonderful!

4:57 am

herinfernallady

I do love the dress how it is perfect

4:57 am

Good Enough

Pippa rocks!

4:57 am

jillibus

yes indeed, good.

4:58 am

hydra

Whar's up with your US friends, herin?

4:58 am

herinfernallady

The Tornados

4:58 am

jillibus

are you thinking of the tornadoes?

4:59 am

herinfernallady

Yes

5:00 am

hydra

Any minute now... the dress in all its glory.

5:01 am

herinfernallady

O Myh

5:02 am

jillibus

So perfect!

5:03 am

hydra

Modest, girlish, beautiful. Her makeup is lovely, too. She doesn't look at all nervous.

5:03 am

jillibus

She is SO beautiful.

5:03 am

hydra

I would be so scared I'd be wearing incontinence pants!!!

5:03 am

hydra

Sorry. Lowered the tone there!

5:04 am

herinfernallady

Who designed her dress I missed it?

5:05 am

hydra

Sarah Burrton for Alexander McQueen

5:05 am

hydra

The music is exquisite.

5:06 am

hydra

Oh, those little bridesmaids are so cute. The one with the little pouty face.

5:06 am

jillibus

Nifty pageboys too

5:07 am

herinfernallady

Mr McQueen would have been so proud

5:07 am

hydra

I meant Burton with one r. Mistyping in my excitement.

5:08 am

herinfernallady

I found it

5:09 am

jillibus

wow, what a camera angle!

5:09 am

Good Enough

Oh fabulous

5:09 am

suefrad625

good morning all

5:09 am

hydra

I adore Harry. He's so handsome and rakish. Yes, jilli, a wonderful angle looking down into the Abbey.

5:09 am

herinfernallady

THat is so the British Flag

5:10 am

suefrad625

what time did the wedding start there in England?

5:10 am

hydra

Ooh, Elton!

5:10 am

jillibus

11 am

5:11 am

hydra

Didn't realise Wills was so bald! He needs Elton's hair restorer.

5:12 am

hydra

Love your hat icon, Jilli. Been too glued to the TV to change mine.

5:12 am

hydra

Get your tissues out now, folks.

5:13 am

hydra

Kate is gulping a bit. Bet she's trying not to cry.

5:13 am

jillibus

Thanks, hydra -- I liked it.

5:16 am

hydra

She is trying so hard not to cry. Aaah!

5:17 am

hydra

He's giving her such a lovely secret little smile.

5:20 am

MollyL

Morning all. How nice to start the day watching a wedding.

5:20 am

hydra

Are you watching it, Molly?

5:20 am

herinfernallady

HI Molly is everything settled down there now?

5:21 am

MollyL

Yep. She looks lovely. I expected no less. Things are fine here Herin. We did not suffer any damage. It was south of here, thanks.

5:21 am

herinfernallady

My dinner is burning

5:21 am

herinfernallady

Thank goodness

5:21 am

hydra

Run, herin!

5:22 am

jillibus

Hello Molly -- thanks for the hat icon suggestion -- there are some doozies there!

5:22 am

herinfernallady

huh?

5:23 am

herinfernallady

Nah. I will get himself to see if it is ok. I can't be stuffed

5:23 am

jillibus

I love the descants those boys are singing

5:25 am

hydra

James Middleton is reading that speech so well.

5:26 am

hydra

Damn! Camera swung away just as Wills and Kate were sharing a smile.

5:28 am

herinfernallady

I could not imagine James marrying anyone beneath the stairs

5:28 am

hydra

Love the hymn they're singing now. Those choirboys have glorious soaring voices.

5:29 am

hydra

Another great camera shot down into the Abbey.

5:33 am

hydra

Gosh, didn't realise it was St Catherine's Day today. Wonder if that's why they chose today for the wedding?

5:35 am

MollyL

Hi Jilli. I'm in and out getting ready for work. "Every wedding is a royal wedding". What a sweet thing to say.

5:36 am

hydra

He seems such a nice jolly cleric.

5:36 am

hydra

'Each must give the other space and freedom'. I echo that.

5:38 am

herinfernallady

Hydra that is the 25th of November

5:39 am

hydra

That's odd. He just said, 'St Catherine of Siene, whose day it is today.'

5:39 am

hydra

Maybe I misheard.

5:40 am

herinfernallady

No My bad

5:40 am

herinfernallady

I got the wrong Catherine

5:40 am

hydra

No I didn't. Just Googled it and it says the Catholic church celebrates it today.

5:41 am

hydra

LOL.

5:41 am

hydra

Very haunting hymn they're singing now.

5:42 am

herinfernallady

As I said wrong Catherine

5:42 am

herinfernallady

I was thinking Saint Catherine of Alexandria

5:43 am

hydra

My lol referred to that, herin. Flad is next to me, snoring louder than the TV volume.

5:43 am

herinfernallady

awwww kity?

5:53 am

MollyL

No Herin, you got it right. Today is the feast day of St. Catherine of Siena.

5:54 am

MollyL

Oops. Mis-read the chat. Time for more coffee.

5:54 am

herinfernallady

No Hydra had it right first. I got confused with the Catharine the matyr

5:54 am

hydra

Well, I'm going for a coffee now. Enjoy the rest of the day, everyone.

5:55 am

hydra

See you later.

5:55 am

herinfernallady

Ok

5:56 am

jillibus

bye hydra

5:57 am

jillibus

6:01 am

herinfernallady

YEp

6:01 am

herinfernallady

6:03 am

ivesy3

6:03 am

JenMO16

obama was not invited

6:03 am

jillibus

I don't know but I don't think so.

6:04 am

herinfernallady

No he wasn't invited. Then again neither was Brown

6:04 am

Patxxx

It is not a state occasion and certain rules apply. If he was King now there would be a heavier guest list.

6:04 am

uusue2

6:04 am

jillibus

6:06 am

jillibus

and his partner

6:06 am

JenMO16

elton john and his signifcant other are both there

6:07 am

herinfernallady

That is because of their connection to Princess Di

6:08 am

ivesy3

thats nice...seems appropriate

6:08 am

jillibus

William looks worried about sstepping on Kate's dress

6:08 am

herinfernallady

That and because of William also connection with the carities

6:08 am

herinfernallady

charities

6:09 am

uusue2

6:14 am

herinfernallady

Don't think anyone noticed

6:15 am

JenMO16

i know!

6:15 am

Patxxx

William and Harry are so much like Princess Diana that, to me, it always feels as if she is there.

6:15 am

herinfernallady

I love seeing the Guard.

6:15 am

JenMO16

i agree patxxx

6:16 am

EspritdJean

I agree with Pat they don't seem to reflect Jughead at all

6:16 am

Kaplan the Magne

We do love our royalty.

6:16 am

JenMO16

ther is so much of her in them

6:16 am

Kaplan the Magne

But we have the Kardashians.

6:16 am

herinfernallady

Well I do as my Grandfather was a Queens Guard

6:17 am

JenMO16

i was surprised to see that Cate didn't wear her hair up, all the hoopla this week about it

6:17 am

Kaplan the Magne

Diana...

6:18 am

EspritdJean

the kardashians are royal buffoons

6:18 am

Patxxx

When Diana's sons glance down for a second I almost see her.

6:18 am

Kaplan the Magne

No class at all.

6:18 am

Kaplan the Magne

The kards I mean.

6:19 am

herinfernallady

I love seeing the Buzzbees

6:19 am

EspritdJean

none self absorbed buffoons

6:19 am

JenMO16

Cate looks down everytime William salutes,

6:20 am

Kaplan the Magne

is it on now in the US?

6:20 am

herinfernallady

That is a matter of manners

6:20 am

herinfernallady

She is acknowledging them

6:20 am

jillibus

I think she's supposed to -- I gather William is returning a salute made to them.

6:20 am

ivesy3

yes,,, on almost every channel

6:21 am

JenMO16

it has been on here in Missouri since 3 AM Kaplan

6:21 am

ivesy3

we love wils...lol

6:21 am

Patxxx

6:21 am

jillibus

I'm watching BBC World

6:21 am

JenMO16

i see herin

6:22 am

JenMO16

did you see Prince Philip almost tipping the carriage over?

6:23 am

herinfernallady

The military wife usually bows her head. It is like her way of saluting but she is not

6:24 am

JenMO16

i heard that babies will come soon, patxxx

6:25 am

Patxxx

Jen - Diana would have been the perfect Grandmother.

6:26 am

JenMO16

6:26 am

JenMO16

6:27 am

herinfernallady

6:27 am

JenMO16

6:28 am

JenMO16

i took the day off for this day!

6:28 am

Patxxx

Now, Jen, we wonder what the evening gown will be like. Harry always seems to gravitate to children and seems be thoroughly enjoy their company.

6:28 am

herinfernallady

THat is because Harry is a kid

6:29 am

JenMO16

i think Harry is dying to be an uncle soon!

6:29 am

Patxxx

We all are!

6:30 am

Uneaixoise

6:31 am

herinfernallady

Still can't work out why Fergie was not invited

6:31 am

Uneaixoise

because she was an embarrassment to the royal family?

6:32 am

Uneaixoise

:-D

6:32 am

jillibus

Too much scandal, I think, and that business about trying to sell access to the royals or something

6:32 am

Uneaixoise

hey, jilli!!

6:32 am

Patxxx

I gather she is at a Spa in Thailand, or somewhere nearby.

6:33 am

jillibus

salut, une!

6:33 am

Uneaixoise

6:33 am

did you get my clue for the si4 and 5 yad?

10:47 am

YadNivek

i have those si's, i need the first si 5/10... oh, nm, I was missing the plural, DUH! TY

10:47 am

forwardbyfaith

10:48 am

lilliann

10:48 am

lilliann

ok, just read back

10:48 am

YadNivek

yep, down to 11 left

10:48 am

MollyL

I didn't realize si4 had a plural. I thought it was one of those words like "deer" which can be singular and plural.

10:49 am

lilliann

me neither molly

10:49 am

MollyL

As a matter of fact, si4 with an s on it sounds weird.

10:50 am

YadNivek

it is a verb according to Scrabble dictionary, that's why it takes the "s"

10:50 am

YadNivek

-to fill with a sedimentary material-

10:51 am

MollyL

si4 is a VERB???

10:51 am

YadNivek

Scrabble makes a lot of words into verbs

I rather suspect we are all honorary Brits today.

5:07 pm

uusue2

bye, jmc, and yay, cos!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5:09 pm

uusue2

well, and if the wedding had anything to do with my stepmom's recovery (see my profile) I will be eternally grateful to them :-)

5:10 pm

lynxxx

Wow Sue - she would have surprised everyone

5:10 pm

MollyL

I am immature. Every time I see a fancy wedding like that, I keep expecting the officiant to say "Mah-widge"...ala "The Princess Bride".

5:10 pm

uusue2

certainly did, lynxxx!!

5:11 pm

MollyL

Sue, it's amazing what small sparks of life will instigate a person's physical recovery.

5:12 pm

ch1212

LOL Molly!
I must add, our family genealogy does trace back to King David of Scotland. He was my 26x great-grandfather. So somewhere in there I get to officially be Brit -- at least for the day. ;)

5:12 pm

LuwandaHL

Good movie

5:13 pm

ch1212

And Robert III was my 18x great-grandfather. Pity the family left -- who knows, I might have been there for the wedding!

5:14 pm

ch1212

But alas, laundry calls. Anyone need a clue before I head downstairs again? :)

5:15 pm

lynxxx

with lineage like that perhaps you should have servants to do that

5:16 pm

lynxxx

BBL

5:17 pm

ch1212

lol. Well, like I said, the family left to America circa 1610. And truly, we also claim the first Irishman to set foot in the Massachusetts Bay Colony -- as an indentured servant!

5:17 pm

ch1212

Now I am off to do the laundry. Have fun, everyone.

Hi Red. I haven't had much time to devote to this grid today. Busy day at work and all that. I've just been trying to find a few words when I could take a break.

5:35 pm

redturtlehead

5:35 pm

oops! sorry - finger slip. Too much red wine!

5:36 pm

My favorite fashion comment of the day was that Victoria Beckham looked like she was wearing cartoon shoes.

5:47 pm

uusue2

actually, hats are fine on other people, I just don't wear them myself

5:47 pm

Glantarell

silly place to wear a hat

5:48 pm

Glantarell

hats look really sillynon me but i could ge away with a fascinator

5:48 pm

MollyL

Okay, if that dude designed the hats on Eugenie and Beatrice, he needs some serious help.

5:48 pm

Soodlebum

Sheesh, I didn't see Posh's shoes! Her pout took all my attention.

5:48 pm

MollyL

I know Soodle. Seriously, does the woman ever smile?

8:01 pm

herinfernallady

I was just saying that Apple just realised its iphone 4 to spite me

8:01 pm

herinfernallady

Thanks lynxx. Enjoy the weather will it lasts as it is going to be horrid next week

8:02 pm

lynxxx

oh great.

8:03 pm

Nef

I'm still looking for some nice weather here.

8:04 pm

lynxxx

we probably shouldn't complain...think the US has complaining rights on weather at the moment - frightful

8:04 pm

herinfernallady

Next week is going to be Horrid

8:04 pm

herinfernallady

And we still don't have a heater

8:05 pm

herinfernallady

Lynxx I have been so worried about the US friends

8:05 pm

lynxxx

really? do you have open fires?

8:06 pm

lynxxx

You rent - isn't some form of heating an obligation?

8:06 pm

Nef

I keep forgetting that you are the opposite of us and you're just going into winter!

8:08 pm

herinfernallady

I rent. But the thing is we are waiting for a repair person.

8:09 pm

lynxxx

I'd be calling the agent every day

8:09 pm

Nef

How long must you wait?

8:12 pm

herinfernallady

No idea. We don't have an agent. B.f is organising it through work

8:14 pm

lynxxx

Hard to push along 'favours' - the owner won't attend to it - or let you get it repaired and take it off your next rent payment?

8:21 pm

lynxxx

Last word re6.24 re & too cute black/white bears ****a

8:21 pm

Nef

What weather are you expecting next week, herin? Blizzards, rain, cold or???

8:31 pm

herin, it sounds like you need to move: no heat; poor internet connection= time to move

8:32 pm

herinfernallady

No hun more like stop downloading so much crap

8:34 pm

Nef

LOL! Then the slow connection is your fault?

8:34 pm

herinfernallady

We have one day left and then it will reload

8:34 pm

herinfernallady

Yes it is. We both got new iphones and went a little silly

8:36 pm

Nef

Oh, MY! That IS a little silly!

8:36 pm

herinfernallady

It is mostly because I have an internet dongle and bad connections between that and my poor computer has broken usb ports

8:37 pm

Nef

Hey, herin! It sounds like you need a whole bunch of stuff fixed now

8:40 pm

Hello uusue2! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

8:51 pm

uusue2

hi, herin and min! I am doing well. Happy to be home. Long week.

8:52 pm

herinfernallady

How goes it?

8:53 pm

uusue2

Interesting development with my stepmother:

8:53 pm

uusue2

Well, they were going to try to wean my stepmother off the ventilator today or tomorrow, but she pulled the tubes out herself last night. AND......she is fine! Was sitting up in bed watching the wedding when my stepson went in to visit her. Go figure :-)

8:54 pm

uusue2

We'll see how long she stays fine, but so far so good.

8:54 pm

9:03 pm

Nef

sue, I'm happy to hear that she pulled her own tube out and is doing werll. Let's hope that if she gets into trouble again they will remember she's a DNR

9:03 pm

uusue2

that's weird, herin!

9:04 pm

Nef

what do you mean your tongue is going funny herin?

9:05 pm

herinfernallady

I can't taste things properly

9:05 pm

uusue2

thx, nef, it was quite a surprise!

9:06 pm

Nef

is it swelling; or is it masking the taste of food?

9:07 pm

herinfernallady

No it just tastes like I have no taste buds. LIke when you burn your tongue or eat fake sugar stuff

9:07 pm

Nef

sue, after working in ICU for 34 years; I always hated if a patient pulled out their breathing tube; but if they had a DNR and were accidentally intubated and put on an vent; we were pretty much screwed

9:09 pm

Minveryork

A's asserted! 5 left

9:09 pm

Nef

oh, good herin! If your tongue was swelling, that's a bad sign -it means you are allergic to the medication. If your sense of taste changes; that is just a temporary thing and it will come back once you are done with the med

9:10 pm

Nef

Go, go Min!!

9:10 pm

uusue2

indeed, nef; on the other hand she is still with us and apparently alert. Not that I expect her to recover enough to go home, ever, although I've been surprised by her several times already!

9:12 pm

stidmama

lady, is there anyone with you? sometimes the taste of things is "off" just before I have a major anaphylactic reaction. Don't hesitate to call for help if you you have any other symptoms.

9:12 pm

stidmama

oh, and hello all. I am finally home and able to watch the wedding.... her dress is SO lovely!

9:12 pm

Nef

Sometimes I've seen people recover and go home; other times they have a short reprieve and then pass away, sue

9:13 pm

Nef

hi stid

Hi all, how is Babbleland tonight?

9:13 pm

Minveryork

Hi stidmama! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

I know, nef; at this point I would not be surprised either way. I am just glad I got to see her last weekend.

9:17 pm

Minveryork

I am being distracted by two very loud barking dogs.

9:18 pm

Nef

oh dear, Min! Are they yours and why are they barking?

9:21 pm

Minveryork

I am watching sister's dog for the weekend and she's a yapper and then she gets my dog all riled up as well.

9:22 pm

oh boy! It sounds like you may need earplugs soon!

Great I stand up for my oldest and dearest friend and they treat me like crap

9:25 pm

uusue2

well, that sucks, herin, what happened?

9:26 pm

herinfernallady

I stood up for my girl as this person made a really intimate comment on her fiancées FB page. He defriended me and didn't even say why. I have been worried about them and sent them phone messages and calls and nothing

9:27 pm

uusue2

oh, herin {{{{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

9:27 pm

herinfernallady

Honestly I told him if someone left that kind of message on my b.f's page I would kick their arse too

9:28 pm

herinfernallady

I mean who the hell leaves a message in a public forum saying ''Well if you need a place you can always come to mine''. Making it seem like it is his partners fault.

9:30 pm

Nef

I often wonder why people say very personal messages on FB. I mean, there are some things that shouldn't be printed , shown, or seen in public and people treat it as being no big deal

9:31 pm

uusue2

Indeed. One thing I do with my UNIV 101 (intro to college) class is pull things off their facebook pages (without names), just to show what an employer could find.

9:31 pm

herinfernallady

I have been friends with this girl for 7 years.

9:32 pm

wht

A clue for the ra6,18 please.

9:32 pm

Nef

Seriously, herin; you may have lost a friend even though I'd agree with your thinking.

9:33 pm

uusue2

ra6/18 = rodent + how many ***ms on your list?

9:34 pm

herinfernallady

If I would say it to defend my partner I would so kick their arse too and yes Sue I have read some things that potential employers would not find good

9:34 pm

9:36 pm

Nef

I have a niece who is so inappropriate that I send her personal msgs. all the time telling her that that isn't something a *normal* person would put in public

9:37 pm

Personally...I defriend people who are more inappropriate in text than they are 'normal'

Hi pini

9:38 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Pin. Also I am 34 this year not 14 so I do not need this shtuff

9:39 pm

Nef

hi Pini. This niece hasn't had much direction from her parents; they were drunks and promiscuis when she was young. I try to give her some pointers if I can

9:40 pm

Pinikula

Sorry, Nef...didn't mean to imply defriending applies to misguided children...just to those (usually adults) who just don't care...

9:40 pm

Pinikula

...I guess I just don't need to be reminded that they don't give a crap (pardon my french)

9:41 pm

Nef

adults are something else. I have defriended some rude adults

9:41 pm

lbdawger

do you think that because it is the internet that people think it's okay to be rude?

9:41 pm

lbdawger

hi ya'll

9:42 pm

uusue2

hi, pini!

9:42 pm

Pinikula

In some ways, lbd...I think the net gives people a false sense of "distance"...

9:42 pm

Pinikula

hi uu

9:43 pm

herinfernallady

I think so. But this person that she is marrying I am the bridesmaid and one of her oldest friends. Sorry but don't piss on my pack and not expect repercussions.

9:43 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Lb

9:43 pm

Nef

hi lbd. I think some people don't think of consequences when they are stupid like that

9:44 pm

lbdawger

hi UU, Pini, Nef and Herin. I think the media age has allowed people to leave manners in a box

9:44 pm

Pinikula

I wonder, herin, if the relationship between you is as strong as you think it is OR she's going through some stuff (without support) that is leading her to make misguided mistakes

9:44 pm

uusue2

hi, lbd!

9:45 pm

uusue2

Hard to tell what people are thinking sometimes; they seem to forget that writing isn't the same as speaking, and that written words don't go away.

9:45 pm

herinfernallady

No I think that there is a lot of stuff going on that I do not need to be told about nor published. I will defend my friends. I really am too old and tired for b.s

9:46 pm

lbdawger

I hope your friend realizes what a good friend she has in you, herin.

9:47 pm

Nef

I feel for you Herin; and I feel for your friend. This doesn't sound like a healthy marriage

9:47 pm

Pinikula

I'm not sure it's just the internet that has made people lose their manners...I think its because, as generations move forward, rules and regulations seem to replace respect and integrity with angst, stupidity and rudeness

9:47 pm

Pinikula

I hope she see's the light soon, herin!

9:48 pm

lbdawger

amen to that, Pini. cell phones are the bane of my existence right now. i'd like to cram them where the sun don't shine on some of my customers

The icon is in honor of one of our local police officers who was killed in the line of duty last friday (memorial service today)...

10:16 pm

Pinikula

...almost 500 emergency response officers participated in the motorcade

10:16 pm

Oh Pinikula,I'm so sorry to hear that! How many killed

10:16 pm

Nef

YAY, Min! WTG! (*I'm* lagging tonight worse than my computer!)

10:17 pm

herinfernallady

I have a question please

10:17 pm

Pinikula

Just one officer was killed...a motorcycle officer on his way home...

10:18 pm

Pinikula

...pulled a vehicle over and the driver shot him before eluding police on a chase for about an hour.

10:18 pm

Pinikula

yes, herin?

10:20 pm

wht

So tragic, pini

10:21 pm

herinfernallady

Ok I saw a picture of the Tornado victims there was a first response guy carrying a child. I do want to know what has happened since

10:22 pm

Pinikula

I've never observed a motorcade in person before; I was moved more than I thought I would be...many of the officers in the vehicles were red-eyed...it was an emotional day

10:23 pm

Pinikula

The only thing I can think of, herin, is to find out where the photo was taken (which tornado-stricken area) and watch for news clips and/or contact one of the local news stations for assistance?

10:23 pm

I also told hubby he should go on a di4/5 and lose weight. Hubby is ra5/14ly gaining weight. Husband ea 4/4 the worst food and he si 4/4 and drinks beer every night. He thinks that going on a di4/5 is not such a ne 4/4 idea either. If he pa 4/5 more attention to his health, he would not be in such bad shape. Husband's health has really sl4/5 over the past few years. I feel like my hubby is sl4/5ping away from me with his drinking. I can't st 5/12 it! I just st 5/10 at my husband in disbelief as he drinks one beer right after another. When I try to talk to him about his bad health, he just sn4/5s at me. Hubby tells me I drink too much so4/5 which is bad for me. Da4/5! He wants computer. I have to bid you ad5/14 for now. I hope you found more words to add to your li4/4.I am going to go cuddle w/my dog who is ne4/4by with his head ti4/4ed waiting for the sound of my footsteps.I will see you tomorrow maybe.Goodnite to all babblers!

gapeach1066@yaho

Everything here is much better than the other night. We were so very fortunate not to have been in the tornado's path. I looked outside around 3:30AM and the trees were twirling around from the force of the wind.....lightening was frighteningly beautiful. I went to bed around 6:00AM and the rain was coming down in torrents. But we were spared.

Yes, herin. I keep in daily contact with friends in KY who have been through two really bad ones in the past. I don't remember having tornados there and I grew up and lived there for 38 years. Weather is really changing.

so many stories of people's generosity -- on our 6:00 news there was a man from Alabama who came thru the tornadoes ok but he drove his truck to Tennessee to buy generators to take back to give to an elderly woman living alone, a young woman who's husband is serving in Afghanistan, etc.

I was as prepared....well, to be best of my ability....took pillows, bottled water and flash lights into one of the bathrooms...had the dogs leashes out....the dogs wouldn't leave my side.....they started acting strangely a couple of hours before it got here.

Uneaixoise

11:22 pm

herinfernallady

I have the most awesomest hot chocolate

11:23 pm

Pinikula

I wouldn't mind that if I didn't have a headache!

11:23 pm

herinfernallady

It is using Ibara chocholate

11:23 pm

Pinikula

sounds nice

11:23 pm

BabbleRabble

How is your thumb doing, Pini?

11:24 pm

Pinikula

soooooo much better, BR!!! all better now :)

11:24 pm

herinfernallady

it is Ibarara chocolate

11:24 pm

Pinikula

How are your waters, BR?

11:25 pm

BabbleRabble

Stress headache?

11:25 pm

Pinikula

More "exhaustion" I think

11:25 pm

herinfernallady

Hi BR

11:26 pm

BabbleRabble

The water is slowing receding... so far so good. Winds have been in the high twenties with gusts. ... good for drying the saturated soil.

11:26 pm

herinfernallady

O gosh BR I hoep you and yours are ok

11:27 pm

BabbleRabble

Your job is exhausting?

11:27 pm

Pinikula

good to hear, BR...might get to lower the hammock soon after all...makes getting into it all that much easier ;)

11:27 pm

BabbleRabble

Hello, herin ... doing fine ..

11:27 pm

Pinikula

Sorry, no...exhausting day...memorial service for an officer killed in the line of duty last friday

11:28 pm

herinfernallady

This was near your Daughters house ? Pini

11:28 pm

Pinikula

<-- didn't go to work today because of the motorcade...staging and start very close to my house and several streets were closed; then watched the live-feed of the memorial

11:28 pm

BabbleRabble

Sorry too .... so easy to forget people are still dying ... real people with families

11:29 pm

Pinikula

Herin, this was part of the chase that was taking place (toward my dau's home) that I was speaking of last friday; we didn't know he lost his life until late friday night; she made it home safely

11:30 pm

herinfernallady

Ok I do remember reading that that is why I asked. SO sad.

11:31 pm

Pinikula

He was 43 yrs old; left a wife and 2 daughters (11 and 4)

11:31 pm

herinfernallady

I really don't like people at times

11:31 pm

Pinikula

The woman who shot him was caught and is in custody; she's also confirmed that she shot him

11:31 pm

cosdem

hello all

11:31 pm

Pinikula

hi cos

11:32 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Cos

11:32 pm

herinfernallady

lOLs at photo Cos

11:32 pm

Pinikula

best you could find, cos? *grin*

11:33 pm

cosdem

awkward pose! lol

11:33 pm

cosdem

love the little girl's face behind them

11:33 pm

herinfernallady

I loved her reception dress pity Cowmilla spoiled the shot

11:33 pm

Pinikula

btw: how rude would it be to go around to the neighbors behind me and ask them to manage their dogs in such a way that Koda could actually spend time outside in the yard without being taunted and barked at the whole time he's there?

11:34 pm

Pinikula

missed that one, herin

11:34 pm

cosdem

not very rude.

11:34 pm

Pinikula

not sure why she's covering her ears, cos :)

11:34 pm

herinfernallady

No it wouldn't Pini. It sounds like their dogs are a little untrained

11:34 pm

BabbleRabble

I do not think it would be rude... however, I doubt it will do any good.

11:35 pm

cosdem

should be her eyes haha

11:35 pm

herinfernallady

Because these days most people are right assholes

11:35 pm

Pinikula

If I do make that effort though, would it then be appropriate to ask the City for any municipal rulings that might be applicable?

11:36 pm

herinfernallady

Yes

11:36 pm

herinfernallady

If yo have made the effort to ask them to keep their dogs in check why not

11:36 pm

Pinikula

I mean, there's one dog behind and one house over that incesently (sp) barks...and I've found a muni code that 15 minutes must past before calling for assistance.

11:37 pm

Pinikula

* pass

11:37 pm

Pinikula

<-- Koda is a good dog! He doesn't bark unless taunted! Honest! ...and, since he's usually in the house so he can't be taunted, he's exceptionally good!

11:38 pm

herinfernallady

It is called common sense and common courtesy which people lack these days.

11:38 pm

Pinikula

...but it sure would be nice to make sure he can do his 'business' outside!

11:39 pm

Pinikula

ok...off my rants for this evening...

11:39 pm

BabbleRabble

Do it, Pini. I have a friend who fosters rescued dogs. Her house is across the alley from an apartment complex. Many living in the apartments let their dogs out and pay no attention to what they do. The apartment managers do not even require the dog owners to clean up after the dogs.

11:39 pm

Pinikula

Will do, BR...I think trying to talk with them is the least I can do before going to the 'authorities'

11:40 pm

herinfernallady

That is gross BR

11:40 pm

Pinikula

...as for cleaning up after the dogs...perhaps a pile should be placed on the manager's doorstep

11:40 pm

Pinikula

oh, wait...did I say that out loud?

11:41 pm

herinfernallady

I was reading that some complexes require you to declaw your cat. I was like hell no

11:41 pm

gremlinn

small grid coming up...97

11:41 pm

herinfernallady

Stupid Human Vet told me to get rid of the cats as they were affecting my asthma

11:42 pm

herinfernallady

I would like a large grid please

11:42 pm

BabbleRabble

Getting information about the rights and obligations of the dog owners does not qualify as going to the authorities in my view. It is good to know what you can do if reasonable discussion is to no avail.

11:43 pm

herinfernallady

Someone was reported for a non stop barker around here. I didn't know a thing about it

11:43 pm

Pinikula

So true, BR, so true...I will become informed and take appropriate action (if there is any)

11:44 pm

herinfernallady

Sadly most people don't give a crap these days and they wonder why the kids are obnoixious little turds

11:45 pm

Pinikula

goes back to my earlier comment this evening about 'respect'

11:45 pm

jillibus

Done -- finished, and my last words, I'm ashamed to say, was ti5/10 and it spl -- the one I always miss and shouldn't because it's the name of our first Dane after whom our kennel was named!

11:45 pm

Pinikula

wtg jilli

11:45 pm

herinfernallady

Sorry Pini people don't get that these days. I was given the evil glare of doom for not giving up my seat to an elderly person. Mind you there was a spare seat available AND i was still sick not that you could tell

11:47 pm

cosdem

ugh 14 mins? ugh. ill be back after a run to 711 for sprite

11:47 pm

jillibus

sorry about the typos -- it's Friday night after Happy Hour. I stayed up to watch the whole wedding and went to bed after the second kiss at about 5 am. Slept till 1 pm.

11:47 pm

cosdem

jill did u see the pose they did in my icon?

11:48 pm

BabbleRabble

Who got married? Anyone important?

11:48 pm

Pinikula

William and Kate

11:49 pm

Pinikula

thx for that one, jilli

11:49 pm

gremlinn

must be celebrities...?

11:49 pm

herinfernallady

Pardon my charming nature tonight long day yesterday was long

11:49 pm

Pinikula

English royalty

11:49 pm

herinfernallady

Royality not Celebraties big differnce.

11:49 pm

cosdem

prince william and the newly titled duchess catherine of cambridge

11:50 pm

gremlinn

ah, time for the world to outgrow the notion of "royal"

11:50 pm

herinfernallady

Gremlin coming from someone in the country that worships whores of media

11:50 pm

gremlinn

I don't worship anyone, personally

11:50 pm

cosdem

touche herin :)

11:51 pm

cosdem

i for one prefer the royals over paris, snooki, lindsay, et al

11:51 pm

Pinikula

he's not a prince anymore, is he? Aren't they now know as His and Her Royal Highnesses, the Duke and Dutchess of Cambridge?

11:51 pm

gremlinn

the very notion is obscene

11:52 pm

cosdem

bbc said william would also keep his title of prince

11:52 pm

cosdem

but it would make more sense to go with the duke title because of his wife

11:53 pm

herinfernallady

No I said IN as in Lives in. A country that appears more concerned when Oprah is retiring, Paris has had a court date for a stalker and Charlie Sheen is being a moron than 300 plus dead from Tornados, an economy in the toliet and New Orleans still in the crap from Katrina where poor people suffer (IE after Katrina) more than rich (Ie after the Fires in Cali)

11:54 pm

herinfernallady

get assistance.

11:54 pm

gremlinn

not sure why disparaging the notion of "royalty" is an assault on a country that deserves recompense

11:55 pm

Pinikula

TV shows like "My Super Sweet 16" should be banned and those kids should be taught that the money they would have spent on their "parties" could have gone to better use by helping others

11:56 pm

gremlinn

I pretty much keep away from TV except for sports and occasionally news

11:56 pm

cosdem

Agreed Pini but while we're banning shows lets ban jersey shore... why Snooki, Pauly D and the sitch are stars now? f***king embarrassing

11:56 pm

Pinikula

PLEASE, COS! Just put me out of my misery on those!!!

11:57 pm

BabbleRabble

No one forces anyone to watch.

11:57 pm

MLFAN17

hello

11:58 pm

Pinikula

true, BR...I do avoid them...

11:58 pm

herinfernallady

No you compaired Royals to Celebraties which are mostly money grubbing media whores

11:58 pm

gremlinn

so, I'm going with just a 97 size today

11:58 pm

Pinikula

...there are better things to absorb

11:58 pm

BabbleRabble

Years ago, my therapist would ask me whether it is more important to be friends or be right.

11:58 pm

MLFAN17

pinik do you think they crae or know the value of a dollar??

11:58 pm

gremlinn

why are they not celebrities?

11:58 pm

Pinikula

absolutely not, mlf

11:58 pm

MLFAN17

i would say at least that grem

11:58 pm

gremlinn

let me just check the definition really quickly

11:58 pm

cosdem

flip time soon yay

11:59 pm

MLFAN17

agreed cos

11:59 pm

cosdem

then i can go watch dr who the movie

11:59 pm

BabbleRabble

I replied ... smarty that I am .. it is better to be with the right friends

11:59 pm

gremlinn

11:59 pm

Pinikula

I was just trying to figure out how to say just that without being offensive, BR!
