2:22 am

rbud

unacceptable, you were brave. (((hugs)))

2:23 am

grannyrose

ruru, i decided that i was there to worship my God, not win friends, that was the most important issue for me

2:23 am

rururocks

I grew up in a violent household.. it's horrible for the kids.. you did the right thing.

2:23 am

grannyrose

thanx mate

2:25 am

2:28 am

grannyrose

okay, ruru, no need to stress your response. it can be pretty mind-blowing when you think about it.

2:29 am

grannyrose

i still love my son, and when he is ready to acknowledge my existence again, i guess i will welcome him with open arms. just breaks my heart, tho, not being able to talk to him.

2:30 am

rururocks

does he speak to his siblings/

2:31 am

grannyrose

bichon, we are talking 80's here. churches weren't ready to acknowledge the grievances between husband and wife. all was very hush-hush. i was the extraordinary one, in that, i spoke up.

2:32 am

grannyrose

yes, ruru. when their father died last year, they made a pact to stick together, no matter what

2:32 am

bichon

this one is either the very last re6/21, or if the slow growth one is last then it is immediately before it. I have the re4/7 with an f in it is before that: i.e. in the last three re-s.

8:12 am

crosshair

In 1941, the U.S. government banned silk stockings. Why? Japan cut off America’s silk supply during World War II, and the government decided that producing silk parachutes for American pilots took precedent women’s fashion needs.

72 Temple Owl

good to hear, red.

8:36 am

redturtlehead

nope, came home the same day. been riding the exercise bike and all.

8:36 am

Haz1558

I think hospitals should probably come equipped with conveyor belts. Speedy discharges seem to be the order of the day.

8:37 am

redturtlehead

just wish I could start walking without crutches. maybe by the end of the week.

8:37 am

72 Temple Owl

easy on that. following orders re how much?

8:37 am

redturtlehead

I actually have to ride the bike. otherwise the hip will freeze. But today I have a holiday.

8:37 am

72 Temple Owl

probably not evenn hospital probably one day surgi center. like the mcdonalds drive through window

8:38 am

redturtlehead

I did have to have it in hospital, the surgery went pretty long, but Luckily I was able to sleep in my own bed...

8:39 am

72 Temple Owl

wishing you a speedy recovery

8:39 am

Hello, Annie.

8:42 am

redturtlehead

I'm good. I had left hip surgery on thursday...but I really am alright, doing quite well.

8:42 am

Anniebrook

I am fine...concerned about you

8:42 am

Anniebrook

Hi Hazel :)

8:43 am

redturtlehead

my only wish is to get off crutches, so I can stop drinking coffee standing up in kitchen!

8:43 am

Anniebrook

red, I am glad to hear that.

8:43 am

redturtlehead

I am counting the days til friday when I follow up...

8:43 am

Anniebrook

red, Did you fall or injure yourself running?

8:44 am

redturtlehead

Apparently I have had a congential hip malformation all my life, it got aggravated by sports, and I tore the cartlidge around the hip.

8:44 am

redturtlehead

So he cut off the offending bone, and sewed the cartilidge back where it belonged. I wish I had done this back in february or March...

8:45 am

Anniebrook

red, I hope you heal quickly.

8:46 am

redturtlehead

thanks, I seem to be doing great. and the chronic pain I have had for 7-8 months is gone!!!!

8:47 am

Anniebrook

red, No pain is a blessing. Will you be needing physical therapy?

8:47 am

redturtlehead

tons. I started riding the bike in the gym the next day, and will start the real work on thursday. I cant really walk yet.

8:48 am

Anniebrook

red, Be patient. I wish you a very speedy healing.

8:48 am

crosshair

poor red:(( at least you have babble to keep you company whilst bedridden

8:49 am

redturtlehead

I am glad for babble. I am trying not to dominate chat with hip talk...

8:49 am

Haz1558

Time for the old cliche of one step at a time.

8:49 am

Anniebrook

LOL

8:50 am

Haz1558

Don't try to run before you can walk.

8:50 am

redturtlehead

thanks Haz!!!

8:50 am

Anniebrook

Can I get a clue for ab 6.27 after the ab 8 ?

8:50 am

redturtlehead

My goal is to tart to jog like a half mile in September.

8:50 am

Haz1558

All ab6!

8:51 am

Haz1558

As long as your goal isn't to jog like a tart. That would be unbecoming.

8:51 am

Anniebrook

Thanks Haz, I thought I had that one.

8:51 am

redturtlehead

I would love to jog like a tart! or like anything!!! :)

8:51 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

8:53 am

redturtlehead

I love grids this size, there are lots of words for easy finding for a long while!

8:53 am

Haz1558

Well, I'd better be off, places to be etc. Enjoy the grid and the rest of the day - bye for now!

Sounds like a nice garden JMC. I have tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, green peppers and zucchini in. So far the tomatoes and the peppers are doing the best.

10:05 am

uusue2

flylady is kind of a housecleaning guru, with a lot of fee-good self-talk built in

10:05 am

MollyL

Ugh...zucchini and potatoes.

10:05 am

*feel-good

10:06 am

herinfernallady

It is a really great website to help you get organised. I get the newsletters and a lot of it is just Buy our stuff. I find local substitutes. Like did you know microfiber clothes are excellent to polish wine glasses

10:06 am

herinfernallady

My looking for work person is going to look into it for clients that have mental health issues as the baby steps are just great for that

10:07 am

jmcnrick

a little bit relentlessly cheerful for but there do seem to be a few useful things i may go back and read later

10:07 am

BzznBea

I get daily reminders from Skipper the Domestic Goddess on facebook.

10:07 am

herinfernallady

I like the detailed cleaning list

10:08 am

jmcnrick

cukes and squash go in next -- eggplant is more important

10:08 am

herinfernallady

Bzz similar concept

10:09 am

jmcnrick

then purple hull peas and okra

10:09 am

jmcnrick

so she sends daily reminders to clean?

10:10 am

jmcnrick

i had a roommate that i called dolly domestic she was so organized. so she cleaned and i cooked. it was heaven

10:10 am

herinfernallady

Yes. But more in a This weeks zone is the Kitchen

10:10 am

herinfernallady

It is really great tool for rebrain training

10:10 am

JBV

good morning - can someone answer a question about planting zucchini? I started seeds and they're all sprouted - the directions say to gradually condition them by placing them (in the tray) outdoors for a few days, how do I know when they're ready to put int he ground?

10:11 am

jmcnrick

hmmm i could see its value

10:11 am

herinfernallady

Don't ask me I kill plants

10:11 am

jmcnrick

jbv it primarily depends on where you live

10:12 am

JBV

NJ - tomatoes are in and growing nicely - I'm afraid I started a little late with the seeds

10:12 am

jmcnrick

if the soil is reliably warm you can plant them anytime. build a hill and plant them around the edges

10:13 am

jmcnrick

then either plant radish seeds or use cedar mulch to keep the squash borers away

10:13 am

jmcnrick

trust me the squash will catch up!

10:13 am

JBV

oh, thanks for that tip

10:13 am

JBV

I had a garden many years ago but haven't done this for a while - forgot how!

10:14 am

herinfernallady

I kill plants but some how managed to grow Tomatoes in a heavy soil that had been covered in plant killer

10:14 am

jmcnrick

well zuccinni you usually have to kill with a stick

10:14 am

lilliann

i have planted my courgettes straight away and i've also left them out for a few days and they have all grown in the past. i've just bought some in pots which need to go into larger tubs.

10:15 am

jmcnrick

depends on the plant killer herin--herbicides are remarkably specific

10:15 am

jmcnrick

hi lill!

went on a little flood tour, the lagoon is lower but the river is up, and a couple of parks are underwater

11:21 am

Nef

DH and I were gone for a few days; we were up in central and midwestern MN (he had a state convention and I went up to join him on Thursday). Fargo ND had a record day yesterday: it was the 62nd day in a row that the Red River of the North was still over flood stage there. Everything and everywhere we saw water overflowing the rivers and swamps.

11:22 am

Nef

And each day I go to work I check the Mississippi River here in the Twin Cities and it hasn't returned to it's normal level yet; it's still too high

11:23 am

flosey

does anyone have the first di7 please (before the di7 and 8)

11:24 am

wvteach

di 7 = same first three letters as the other di 7 + ra 4/4

11:27 am

uusue2

our floods are nothing like that, nef, just one day's rain and pretty minor (these places flood often).

11:28 am

Nef

the sad thing is these aren't considered floods now; the river levels and water level is just UP!

11:28 am

Hello all! :)

11:44 am

Haz1558

Hello, Megg.

11:45 am

Megg

Hiya Haz, I uploaded pics of my little 'un :)

11:45 am

Nef

hi Megg

11:46 am

Haz1558

So lovely!

11:46 am

Nef

and your little one is a cutie, Megg! I haven't "met" you before; welcome to Babble!

11:47 am

Haz1558

Babies never cease to amaze me with all the creases in the right places. She's gorgeous.

11:47 am

Megg

Thank you! That's a just a couple, as you can probably guess I have a couple hundred already and she's only 10 weeks!

11:48 am

Haz1558

And is she a contented baby?

11:49 am

Nef

LOL! Any parent or grandparent understands how that goes, Megg! :-)

11:49 am

Megg

Nice to meet ya Nef..I'm on babble daily but I very very rarely join in in the chat

11:50 am

Nef

And I chat more than I should (especially when tired and unable to keep words in the right boxes!)

11:51 am

rururocks

I hardly chat.. (not)

11:51 am

Megg

My midwife calls her the "chilled out chick" lol. She is so laid back its unreal. Saying that, from Thursday till last night she was poorly and was either crying or asleep. All better when she woke up today though. :)

11:52 am

Nef

right, rur.

11:52 am

Nef

ruru,

11:52 am

Haz1558

Babies can be like that - you absolutely know that they're not well but they can recover very quickly. Be very grateful to have a happy child!

11:53 am

Nef

agreed, Haz.

11:54 am

rururocks

only `14 more b's...whew

11:55 am

Haz1558

This is a bit of a slog your way through it grid, isn't it?

11:55 am

rururocks

no kidding

11:55 am

rururocks

I've had a lot of trouble with this one

11:56 am

Haz1558

There are quite a few words that I've never seen before.

11:56 am

11:57 am

sammysmom

nice big grid for this day...

11:57 am

Nef

I'm down to 185 left; starting to wonder how twisty they are

11:57 am

sammysmom

i had planned to do alap and this seems like it

11:57 am

Haz1558

I'll give you big. Nice is debatable.

11:57 am

wvteach

need clue for the re 6/21 (the one that is not to slow down)

12:03 pm

rururocks

*smacks head*

12:03 pm

rururocks

thank you haz

12:04 pm

Haz1558

It's this grid - it makes you think normal words aren't there.

12:05 pm

rururocks

yes I agree.

12:05 pm

rururocks

Have you seen FM lately?

12:05 pm

Haz1558

I'm in e-mail contact with her, she's not been around in babble so much.

12:06 pm

Nef

meader

12:06 pm

Nef

DANG!

12:06 pm

Nef

sorry, not a WORD

12:06 pm

rururocks

oh.. I hope she's okay

12:06 pm

Haz1558

I'll let her know you were asking after her.

12:07 pm

rururocks

I love her joie de vivre

12:08 pm

Haz1558

Coupled with her je ne sais quoi.

12:08 pm

Nef

I've missed seeing her too but thought is was because of my weird hours. Has she been ill?

12:08 pm

rururocks

and her esprit de cour

12:09 pm

Haz1558

She'll probably pop in some day when you're least expecting her.

12:10 pm

Haz1558

(Wondering if I should correct ruru's French or just smile indulgently)

12:10 pm

Nef

I hope so

12:10 pm

rururocks

please correct

12:10 pm

rururocks

corps

12:10 pm

Haz1558

Esprit de coeur

12:11 pm

rururocks

I didn't have enough heart to finish that haz

12:12 pm

Haz1558

Ah well, your heart is in the right place. (most of the time)

12:12 pm

rururocks

most?

12:13 pm

Haz1558

You're pretty heartless when you go on your punning exploits. Babblers seeking therapy left right and centre.

12:14 pm

rururocks

oh..well..that..

12:14 pm

rururocks

(most of them need therapy)

12:15 pm

Nef

ruru, :-P

12:15 pm

Haz1558

It's known in psychiatric circles as the ruru effect. They're working on medication. I don't know if vaccination is a possibility.

12:17 pm

rururocks

I thought that the ruru effect was like the coriolis effect where I make toilets flush in the other direction

12:20 pm

rururocks

*okay okay.. I will stop punning from here on out*

12:21 pm

Nef

oh, you don't have to quit punning *entirely*; just quit when you're ahead, ruru

12:22 pm

Haz1558

Now I'm worried. Half the babbling population will be mad at me and the other half grateful. You can't please all of the people all of the time.

12:22 pm

Nef

that's why I wrote that he could just quit while he's ahead, Haz

12:23 pm

rururocks

that's shouldering a lot of responsibility haz

12:24 pm

Nef

(Personally, I doubt if he CAN stop!)

12:24 pm

Haz1558

I know.

12:24 pm

rururocks

*zips lips*

12:25 pm

BabbleRabble

Do pyromaniacs drive blazers?

12:26 pm

rururocks

BR picks up the slack.. lol

12:26 pm

Nef

LOL! Doesn't take long, does it? Hi BR! How are you?

12:29 pm

Haz1558

Hello, BabbleRabble.

Hello, car.

12:31 pm

hi car.ee.

12:35 pm

tceicher

12:40 pm

rururocks

see how much more boring the chat is without punning?

12:40 pm

Haz1558

It's not boring. It's soothing.

12:40 pm

Haz1558

It gives you time to think about all those words you haven't found.

12:40 pm

FMitch

Good morning/evening - that grid was a slog!

12:41 pm

rururocks

yay FM!!!!

12:41 pm

Haz1558

See? I told you she'd drop in.

12:41 pm

rururocks

Haz has been chastising me

12:41 pm

Haz1558

I didn't think you'd take me seriously!

12:42 pm

Haz1558

Now you're going to play the victim card.

12:42 pm

Haz1558

Violins and everything.

12:42 pm

rururocks

<---walking wounded

12:42 pm

FMitch

Hello ruru! and Evening Haz - my ea4 have been burning :)
I am sure you deserved it ru *grin* what have you been up to?

12:42 pm

Haz1558

The man caused jillibus to take to her bed, so outrageous was his punning.

12:43 pm

rururocks

oh..lol

12:43 pm

rururocks

she was just tired

12:43 pm

Haz1558

She was driven to it. Driven.

12:43 pm

FMitch

LOL!!!
Its raining Haz (yay for the garden) but I put the heating on this evening.

12:44 pm

rururocks

that's like talking climate change due to Beatrice's hat

12:44 pm

Haz1558

Rain? We've had hailstones today!

12:44 pm

FMitch

Good grief!

12:44 pm

FMitch

Talking wakling wounded ruru haven't seen you in ages - how is the had?

12:44 pm

Haz1558

Seriously, it wasn't taking time to come down.

12:45 pm

FMitch

*hand even

12:45 pm

rururocks

I'm fine .. other than being responsible for Pyschologists making a hard living

12:46 pm

Haz1558

Oh! I thought you were asking after his head - the one he keeps smacking because he can't find words.

12:47 pm

FMitch

How is the glittery one Haz?

12:47 pm

Haz1558

She's fine, thanks.

12:48 pm

Haz1558

Conked out at the front door, gathering her energy for the greeting ceremony when husband returns.

12:48 pm

FMitch

Has he not finished yet? I don't know! Too busy punning people into purgatory I suppose?

12:48 pm

Haz1558

He's been at this grid for hours and still hasn't cracked it.

12:49 pm

rururocks

I'm slow

12:49 pm

Good Evening Everyone. I had my "adopted" grandkids over this afternoon (my former neighbor's 2year old girl and 4 year old boy). We had our grandson here yesterday; and DH and I learned today that 3 adults with 1 kid (yesterday) is easier to do than 2 adults with 2 kids; especially when it comes to blowing bubbles outside!

6:13 pm

Minveryork

Hello Nef! How are you doing?Welcome to the chat log

6:13 pm

uusue2

bye, lynxxx, and hi, min, hean, and nef!

6:14 pm

uusue2

Sounds like you had a fun day (if tiring), nef!

6:14 pm

Minveryork

I kid is usually always better than&easier than 2 kids.

6:15 pm

Nef

I'm afraid that both kids today went home with all of the bubble solution IN their shoes! (major bubble spills of solution on each of them because of the "Me DO IT!" attitudes

6:16 pm

Nef

We had a blast though; just a bit tiring

6:16 pm

Minveryork

Well at least you know they went home w/clean shoes

6:17 pm

firefly779

The far left A and the far right E are eluding me...any help?

6:17 pm

Minveryork

Isn't that bubble solution just soap and water Nef?

6:17 pm

Nef

true! I told their mom that when she washes them; don't add soap to the wash cycle! :-)

6:17 pm

Minveryork

em5/12 is em + double vowels plus consonant firefly99

6:18 pm

firefly779

thanks Min!

6:18 pm

Nef

for the best bubbles, it should be soap, water and glycerine, Min

6:18 pm

Minveryork

ad 4/5 is ad plus he, she, ** firefly99. Is that the one?

6:18 pm

Minveryork

With such a big grid on this da4/5, May 30,2011,I de 4/5 it necessary to be an ai5/12 and ai4/5 my de4/5 babble friends with a story of clues for you to re4/5. So here it is. I deba 4/6d whether or not to goto the doctor about my allergies. Thought I could be 4/6 my allergies by myself, but gave up. Di 4/5ed my doctor, who is right down the ro 4/5, this morning because I couldn't be4/6 being miserable another day. I was on the bo7/40 of insanity with all my coughing,sneezing and puffy eyes full of te 4/4. I was coughing so hard, I almost ca 6/24 a few times. I fe 4/7ed that it would never end. Fortunately,my doctor was able to me4/5 with me today. Doctor sa 4/5 that I have bronchitis and forba4/7 me to goto work,which is fine with me. I won't be bo5/16 tomorrow. I will have fr4/7 time to babble without hubby around. Doctor lo 4/5ed me up with 5 different medicines. She told me I should take the medicine with water, not ci5/14.I pray to the Lo 4/5 that this will help. Oh dr 4/5! Hubby is being a br 4/6 and wants the computer.I wish I could tell him to sc 4/5, but I fr4/7 what he may do if I don't give him computer. It would be a good id4/5 to let him have it or he will become ir 5/10. I did not ed 4/5 this story so there may be some mistakes. I am going to get up off my re 4/4 and onto my fe4/7 and go make London Br 5/14 to fe 4/8 us for dinner. We love red me 4/5. If I play my ca4/5s right,husband will let me have the laptop again during the la6/18 part of the day. Adios!

10:12 pm

dianedecoder

10:14 pm

Nef

Does anyone know how the new version of the game is doing? Would that fix this type of thing?

10:15 pm

Nef

I've never heard of that site either, book; but I'll bookmark it now!

10:15 pm

bookwomen

That web site tells you if it you or the site. A great help. It said Babble was down for everyone. No the server was down so nothing to do but wait.

10:16 pm

Pinikula

cool...just bookmarked it! :)

10:17 pm

bookwomen

saves some head scratching and hair pulling.

10:17 pm

Pinikula

no kidding! :)

10:18 pm

jmcnrick

book that is a wonder site! i could have used it earlier today when i ONCE AGAIN accidentally turned off my wi-fi

10:18 pm

Minveryork

Now that we are back & running,I just wanted to let people know I have story in profile for those who feel delayed by Babble shutdown.Glad to see we are back.

10:18 pm

jmcnrick

oh but i guess it wouldn't have worked lol!

10:19 pm

jmcnrick

hi min

10:19 pm

bookwomen

no but you can have a friend try it to see if it just you or everyone.

10:20 pm

PCJonesy

10:20 pm

Minveryork

In the meantime,I was reading some Babble reviews.I could tell that they were very old reviews because of the way the game was described. They also said that people do not really chat,they just give clues or brag about how well they are doing. All reviews were good.

10:21 pm

jmcnrick

really? i never really saw what we do as "bragging"

10:22 pm

jmcnrick

oo nbs!

10:22 pm

jmcnrick

[blushes to think may be bragging]

10:23 pm

Nef

they must have been Really old! I don't ever remember people bragging!

10:23 pm

bookwomen

I would agree. I have not seen any real bragging.

10:24 pm

mrpresident

brag?? not unless it is jokingly

10:24 pm

jmcnrick

we mainly cheer each other on

10:24 pm

Minveryork

I also found a site that gives some pretty interesting information about babble.There are 4 tabs:summary, visitors, server details & on the web. In visitors tab, it shows the percentage of users each week. Here is the link if anybody is interested in checking it out:

http://bizinformation.co/www.pla
ybabble.com

10:25 pm

bookwomen

if anything everyone encourages everyone to reach there goal whether it be nbt or finishing.

10:25 pm

Minveryork

4 or 5 of those reviews were from 2004&the last one was from 2006.No reviews on the website since then.

10:25 pm

jmcnrick

438 visitors daily? Wow that is a lot of lurkers lol!

10:26 pm

Minveryork

Even when Babble isn't working I am thinking about it

10:27 pm

WakeMeUpAt1010

who you calling a lurker? lo

10:27 pm

Nef

Usually when it's quiet here there are around 100 people when I check the "who's Online" tab up above chog. Right now there are only 63! That's the lowest I've ever seen!

10:27 pm

jmcnrick

lol! im thinking you might just be a lurker wakeme!

10:28 pm

Minveryork

I just checked and it said 61. Lowest I've ever seen.

10:28 pm

mrpresident

that might be cause of the 3 hour offline issue

10:28 pm

WakeMeUpAt1010

well, if the shoe fits i suppose i must wear it

10:28 pm

jmcnrick

10:29 pm

10:33 pm

Nef

I haven't reached the blue hair point yet; but my hair is pretty wild (which is why I picked that atavar

10:35 pm

jmcnrick

i don't think it happens anymore. people use real dye instead of blueing to keep their grey hair from turning yellow

10:35 pm

mrpresident

nah, mrpresedent stands for mental resident president

10:36 pm

WakeMeUpAt1010

well, when i'm old and senile (next year?) i will dye my hair blue like nef's... such a nice shade

I've been waiting for gray hair for years since I've always had what my family called "difficult" hair: fine thin and straight. Gray hair is supposed to have volume; for about the past 6-8 years I've used lots of product to get it to do anything

10:38 pm

jmcnrick

10:38 pm

Pinikula

speaking of greys, I need to finish so I can wash mine away!!!

10:38 pm

10:40 pm

Pinikula

10:41 pm

WakeMeUpAt1010

jmcnrick

10:42 pm

WakeMeUpAt1010

i should really get back to the puzzle lol... or maybe i will hope over to my cryptogram site

there was a young girl who started going gray when she was in grade school when I was young. She had long dark brunette hair and this marvelous gray streak in the front on one si**! I think she was 9 or 10 when that started; by the time she graduated from high school she was mostly white with a dark streak

10:49 pm

WakeMeUpAt1010

although when i was 8 i would have DIED rather than say 'fart'... i thought it was a bad word like s*it

10:49 pm

bookwomen

bragging. I finally finished and am now hitting the sack. Thanks for the chat and I hope I do not wake up with grey hair.

11:07 pm

stidmama

*munch munch munch*

11:07 pm

Nef

How are you doing? Done with school yet?

11:08 pm

stidmama

I have four full-time teaching days left, then I revert to volunteer status -- part time in the elementary classroom I have been in, and if they want me part time in the middle school until the end of the year (June24)

11:09 pm

mrpresident

would easter bunnies do in the PB?? I have heaps left over!

11:09 pm

stidmama

and I decided that, instead of celebrating at the awful graduation ceremony I will instead be a water balloon target at the annual school picnic that day. FAR more fun, and helps the kids out!

11:09 pm

mrpresident

that is gorgeous stid!!

11:10 pm

stidmama

thanks mrp -- I don't "do" celebrations.

11:10 pm

stidmama

so it makes far more sense for me to be with the kiddos.

11:11 pm

joey

another topic. I know for sure that there are words that I put in last night that were accepted that are not there now. Any thoughts?

11:11 pm

Nef

my DH had finals for both his BS and his Masters' programs when they had the graduation ceremonies. I wish that after all of that hard work and $$$ he would have been able to be in the formal ceremoney

11:11 pm

stidmama

oh Nef -- was thinking about you the other day, and hoping you are okay? do I remember correctly that you are having issues with your leg?

11:11 pm

mrpresident

85 left... do I have a chance girls and boys??

11:11 pm

stidmama

poor DH. at least at our school there are only rarely "finals" and they never schedule classes for that final week of the year.

11:11 pm

stidmama

go mrp go!

11:12 pm

stidmama

joey, I think that sometimes the signal at the actual game computer gets scrambled. Hate it when that happens!

11:12 pm

Nef

yes, stid. I need a hip replacement. I need to find out about allergies and get cortisone injections first (doing both on June 9th)

11:12 pm

joey

me too.

11:12 pm

mrpresident

my DH got his Bachelor in Computing... I wanted him to go to the University and be part of the celebration, but he would have nothing to do with it... so guess what I did!!

11:12 pm

stidmama

*grin* "tardis" is in the grid!!!

11:12 pm

Nef

mrp, I have 83 left.

11:13 pm

11:13 pm

mrpresident

3 hours of downtime didn't help a lot of people

11:13 pm

mrpresident

i didn't like that either nef

11:14 pm

mrpresident

too many B's!!!!

11:14 pm

Nef

What did you do, mrp?

11:14 pm

stidmama

it's an acronym of course "time and relative dimension in space"

11:14 pm

joey

it killed me. I have 65 left

11:15 pm

Nef

me too, joey; but that's okay. I've mellowed out a bit

11:15 pm

mrpresident

half way through the B's thou....

11:16 pm

Nef

mrp, what did you do for your hubby's graduation since he wouldn't go?

11:16 pm

joey

funny. for about 3 years I was anal. had to finish. it killed me, I was really stressed if I didn't. the last 3 weeks - not nearly as much. there is more to do

11:16 pm

mrpresident

I framed his degree... set up a family party at a fabulous local restaurant, and got all the staff to sing to him and all the patrons joined in, standing and clapping for him!!

11:16 pm

stidmama

very nice, mrp!

11:17 pm

mrpresident

so, he HAD his celebration!!

11:17 pm

mrpresident

I love my lickety, he should be proud of himself.

11:17 pm

Nef

LOL! WTG, mrp!

11:19 pm

stidmama

oh well, I am off to print some examples and patterns for my kiddos for tomorrow. We are going to play with simple patterns this week to explore geometry in the context of the American Revolution.

11:31 pm

mrpresident

some 18 year old soccer fiend accidentally kicked a ball directly at my boobs from 10 yards away.... 150 mile an hour... I raised my hand instinctively to protect my chest and the ball smashed into it! boy did it hurt!!

11:32 pm

mrpresident

i was refereeing at the time... he was so sorry! and his parents came up and apologised for it, but it was a total accident that i couldn't avoid... if I had ducked, i would have had a broken nose

11:32 pm

Nef

DANG! Did you tell him he has to do your housework for the next 6 weeks?

11:32 pm

mrpresident

I should have!!

11:33 pm

doxy1lover

so sorry mrp. I hope you heal fast

11:33 pm

mrpresident

he was from the nasty team too

11:33 pm

Nef

Isn't it against the rules to kick a ball at a ref?

11:34 pm

mrpresident

he didn't see me there... he had turned and was looking at the ball and just kicked it...

11:34 pm

mrpresident

it is a red card offence to kick a ball at the ref on purpose

11:35 pm

Nef

Make him do your housework

11:35 pm

mrpresident

thanks doxy... i will use my homeopathy to try and do some good from the inside

11:35 pm

doxy1lover

I wish I could be there to help you out.

11:35 pm

mrpresident

nef, I have a housekeeper... and I don't think an 18 year old boy could do the job anyway!! LOL

11:36 pm

doxy1lover

I want a housekeeper.

11:36 pm

mrpresident

I am fine doxy... really I am... I have good friends looking after me everyday and doing my housework for me

11:36 pm

11:36 pm

doxy1lover

11:37 pm

mrpresident

i luv you guys, you get me thru

11:37 pm

Nef

I want a housekeeper too! I don't know; I would want to punish him so that he will look before he kicks again! (especially if he's from the nasty team)

11:37 pm

mrpresident

ok, ready to clue, have my clueage hat on

11:37 pm

mrpresident

I red carded a little prick from that team too

11:37 pm

Nef
