I do not and I cannot know;
For Knowledge thus far does not go.

But Beauty, Truth, the Good, and Love
Our human life are far above,
Existing independently
Of Mankind and his destiny.

Here then we know at least one Truth --
That if a person loves in sooth,
That love can never pass away,
Come Death, Destuction, or what may:
I takes its place with God's decrees
Among th' Eternal Verities.

And so, dear Jill, my love for you
Shall ever live, strong, deep, and true.

1:36 am

We're not going to play doctor.
1:36 am
negativeneil

I used to drive my brother nuts... then he'd cave in and beat me up, haha! Dad would take us to the door and say "If you two are gonna fight, take it outdoors and try to refrain from any activity that results in bodily injury or expensive dental work."
1:36 am

lol no. Dirty in the literal sense. Clothes-wracking dirty.
1:37 am

lol @ your dad. My kids quote me still on the 'Don't bleed on the carpet!'

1:37 am

1:37 am

Ok, is there a sandbox around?
1:37 am

my little one might eat the marbles
1:38 am
sprite

my love made us a wonderful sandbox and climbing house. The kids (of the whole neighbourhood) had so much fun there.
1:38 am

We could get a little pool and splash around.
1:39 am

with sand and water, I was a happy little girl
1:39 am

Sounds like fun for them, sprite. :)
1:40 am

eating them is the easiest way to lose them sprite
1:40 am

yeah, our kids couldn't have asked for better. It had a small swing too, and when they got older, my love built the thing up until it looked over the fence. You wouldn't believe the fantasies they lived out there. Castles in the air!

Yeah, but just in case anyone confuses us. Not like the would, but still.
2:10 am
sprite

not here, probably, unless he plays babble under a similar name
2:13 am
negativeneil

No. He made an account here but never has time so he hasn't upgraded it. I think he played once or twice. He said he finished one grid... but it was a small one and not too difficult.
2:14 am
sprite

too bad, but if this isn't his kind of thing, he is right not to waste time or money at it
2:19 am
sprite

oh mannnn hail! Big stones falling here.
2:22 am
negativeneil

Oh it isn't so much that, sprite, he is just super busy and doesn't have time for this.
2:24 am

also a valid reason. Too bad though, from what you say it seems he would be a nice addition to the babble community.

We watched home videos made when our kiddies were little, what a trip! Those little cute voices and they were so funny bumbling around. Time goes fast as lightning too.
2:34 am

Oh that's funny... watching ours when we were kids. Can't believe I looked and sounded like that! lol
2:35 am

it does. My son is more than a head taller than I, with a deep voice and sometimes amazingly mature attitude. And it seems like last week that I was walking around with him in my arms because he wouldn't stop crying.
2:35 am
Marmar

Aw Neil, don't count yourself out just yet Dude! You're a fox! (do people still say that?)
2:36 am

I don't know, Marmar, lolll. I do know that my kids often do that 'roll-eyes-upward' thing when I use a word from my teenage days.
2:37 am
Marmar

I remember when my friend's oldest was about 14 and she was marveling that this little human was becoming so interesting and opinionated and fun to converse with. I'm experiencing that now....wonderful.
2:37 am
sprite

same here! 15 and 13 they are.
2:38 am
Marmar

Sprite, I voluntarily gave myself the nickname "wet blanket" as I know I'm out of date and usually say "no" when they want me to say "yes". Goes with the job. Oh, I'M right behind you, 13, 12 and 10.
2:38 am
negativeneil

Uh, I'm a nerd/dork Marmar... but think you for being so kind. ;)
2:39 am

oh yes. Giving them limits may be the most important thing of the job now. Being there, loving them unconditionally and limiting them!
2:39 am
negativeneil

Aww, sprite. Does the time really seem to go that fast? My mom always says it does... she keeps saying it's strange to see us as adults now, because it seems like no time since we were little ones.
2:39 am
Marmar

Just think, Neil has this all infront of him (and he'll prob be the cool dad)
2:40 am

And I know that's really sad for her in some ways.
2:40 am
negativeneil

If I'm ever lucky enough to be one, Marmar.
2:40 am
sprite

it really does, neil. I don't know why, but it really does. One's own kids are always older than we think.
2:41 am
negativeneil

Yes, my parents have said the same!
2:41 am
sprite

for me it is not sad though. I have loved watching them grow up and I stil do. I find them more interesting the older they get. I love a cuddly baby, but I don't long back to that period.
2:42 am
Marmar

Neil, for me, it continutes to go faster as I get older, for obvious reasons I guess, the expiration date gets closer and closer. But It literally feels like I just moved here and settled in and it's been 15 years. Sometimes I look at my husband and think, I hardly know him, and look at the kids and think, who are these little adults-like people...funny.

I see, sprite.

someone told me time goes faster all the time, because every next year is a smaller percentage of the time we have lived. Somehow that makes sense to me.
2:43 am
Marmar

I agree Sprite, I am enjoying it like crazy and look forward to the new and amazing things we'll all experience in the future.
2:43 am
negativeneil

Where did you move there from, Marmar?
2:43 am
sprite

wait till they start talking back without reason or sense, lol.
2:43 am
Marmar

Dallas Texas.
2:44 am
negativeneil

Oh, ok? I just assumed you were German.
2:44 am
negativeneil

But you're American... cool. What took you over to Deutschland?
2:44 am
Marmar

I feel German sometimes.
2:44 am
negativeneil

After that long living there? I bet.
2:44 am
sprite

Marmar is an import German :)
2:44 am
negativeneil

Yes. :)
2:45 am
Marmar

Fell in love with a German musician who was playing at Wurstfest in New Braunfels Texas one year.
2:45 am
negativeneil

I can understand a lot of German to hear or read it, because Yiddish is so similar. I've had conversations with Germans speaking German, with me speaking Yiddish... it's funny.
2:45 am
negativeneil

I see, Marmar. :) Very good reason!
2:45 am
sprite

I like Yiddish better though. It is softer in sound.
2:46 am
Marmar

Oh that is fun. I love how languages evolved, shared and changed into what they are today.
2:47 am
Marmar

I love to hear Hollandish as it such a neat combination of German, English and jibberish (NO offence to any Nederlanders out there)
2:47 am
Marmar

I have never just heard someone speaking Yiddish, just the occasional word thrown into English conversation.
2:47 am
sprite

hehehe no offense taken! I can understand how it sounds like jibberish.
2:48 am
Marmar

Sprint, why have I thought your flag was the Belgium flag all these years....
2:48 am
negativeneil

I loved hearing Dutch spoken when we were there last year. :)
2:48 am
sprite

and yes, Dutch is very relaxed in taking up strange words. We say 'het is een mengelmoes' = it is a mishmash.
2:48 am
negativeneil

And I agree, Marmar... I'm fascinated with languages.
2:49 am
sprite

I don't know, Marmar!
2:49 am
negativeneil

I knew what "het is een" meant... but not that last word.
2:50 am
sprite

mengelmoes = hodgepodge
2:50 am
Marmar

I am doing a project with the kids called "English from the roots up". It takes a latin or Greek root word, defines it and then we look at all the words we know in our lives today that use that root. It's fun, maybe more for me then them, but they will appreciate it someday when they score high on their ACT's or the German equivalent.
2:50 am
negativeneil

How do you pronounce that, sprite?
2:51 am
negativeneil

Oh that would be fun, Marmar.
2:51 am
sprite

wow Marmar, that is really a gift to them. And fun! I have read english books with them and they still benefit enormously.
2:51 am
sprite

hold on, let me think how to put that
2:52 am
negativeneil

Are your kids fluent in English too, sprite?
2:52 am
sprite

I think if you would say 'mengle moos' it would be correct
2:52 am
negativeneil

With a hard 'g' sound right?
2:52 am
sprite

they are better reading than talking, neil, but yes, pretty much so.
2:52 am
Marmar

Mengelmoes is my word of the day!
2:53 am
sprite

no, the g is part of the NG here. Which is the same as in english.
2:53 am
negativeneil

I find that too... I'm much better with reading than speaking other languages.
2:53 am
Marmar

Do you all watch DVD's in English sometimes Sprity?
2:53 am
negativeneil

Yes! I just learned a new Dutch word. I'll remember it for next time I'm there. :P
2:53 am
sprite

yes, often, Marmar. I don't mind subtitles, but I don't need them for english either.
2:53 am
sprite

great neil :)
2:54 am
negativeneil

That and to buy that teapot I mentioned. ;)
2:54 am
Marmar

By the way, I think this grid is a big mengelmoes.
2:54 am
sprite

I agree
2:54 am
negativeneil

Haha, a little.

2 more words...

Marmar

I need a proper cup of coffee. I had one but it was awful. I used a new milk frother and it over-frothed my milk and was basically a cup of froth, no room for the coffee!

2:56 am

Oh? I just drink my coffee inky black... with sugar.
2:56 am

50% is nice
2:56 am

Yes, a clue for the 10 :)
2:56 am

No thanks sprite... but thanks for asking. :)
2:56 am

No, just take care of yourself!
2:57 am

2:57 am

One thing at a time, boat. "Not out" but... **?
3:03 am

A canvas hut?
3:03 am
negativeneil

Then an electrically charged particle?
3:03 am

I have in 4/4.

A canvas hut -- wigwam, teepee, etc.?
3:04 am

Ok, well try in6,18 first.
3:04 am
boatierra

Oh, I have the word. I just didn't understand that that statement was a clue for the word. I get it now :)
3:05 am

It was never my in9,54 to give you that obvious a clue. :P
3:05 am
negativeneil

Oh, I see!
3:08 am

You have patience in abundance. Thanks :)
3:09 am

Who, me?

Yes

I wouldn't say that! :P
3:10 am
boatierra

Well I would. Take a compliemt :)
3:11 am
negativeneil

Ok? Thanks. :P
3:12 am
boatierra

It says a lot about a person that even if they do not agree with the compliment given to them that they know how to take a compliment well.
3:13 am
negativeneil

Uh, well I said that with a :P after it... so don't know what that says about me?
3:22 am
boatierra

Just that I thought you had a lot of patience in helping me when you thought I needed it and I appreciate it.

I have no health insurance in France which is scary
10:32 am

I thought there was great health insurance for non citizens in France. Isn't that what Michael Moore's film Sicko said?
10:32 am
rubyfoo

I think that's only if you're working here, not just retired
10:33 am
bichon

Ok, so what do you do if you're sick, just pay it all
10:33 am
rubyfoo

yes
10:33 am

That's the main reason I wouldn't want to retire outside the US.
10:33 am

or die, I guess
10:34 am
rubyfoo

but if DH had let me keep my old work-related insurance, I'd still be covered. He thought it was too expensive
10:34 am
bichon

There was an article in the paper listing great countries to retire. The first one was Ecuador. What if you needed Open Heart Surgary? Would you have it done there?
10:34 am
rubyfoo

have you ever been in Ecuador? That's a scary idea
10:35 am

I've been reading articles lately about over-treatment and too much testing. Very interesting
10:35 am

could you work a while and pay into the french system to be covered?

used by Jews during Sukkot - there is a whole industry that provides etrogs of the finest quality
1:42 pm

ah, thanks for that info
1:43 pm

I mean, it's not exactly in common everyday use, but then how many words in the grids fall into that category anyway?
1:44 pm
flosey

all too many imho
1:44 pm

Haha, of course it should, Sue.
1:44 pm

It's a citrus fruit, flosey... similar to a lemon.
1:44 pm
negativeneil

It's a common word to us, Sue.
1:45 pm

And like you say, there are many grid words not in common use.
1:45 pm

oh, is it as bitter?

he went to the docotr without me about 2 weeks ago for knee pain; they decided it was his back (I couldn't go with him to that or the next app't.) The surgeon showed us his X-rays and MRI; he needs a laminectomy; but his knee problem is probably his ACL

now he's just been approved for disability because he can't work any more. MD - runs in his family. But - he had broken his back when he was young, and they thought they could operate to improve the aftereffects of that.

Its all a bit bizzare for us. My parents are both in their 80's. We are all in our 40's ot 50's. Never has a serious illness touched any one of us. It takes a bit of getting used to, I guess.
4:11 pm
SeaSpray

Not for FIL, at first they gave him a 50/50 chance of surviving surgery, now they say surgery is not an option and they don't think he is stron enough to survive treatment either. Meeting with doc tomorrow to find out how advanced it actually is.

How old is your FIL seaspray?

He is 88 Soodle but very active, until now.

Well then Soodle, you are a hearty lot and that gives your brother something to fight with. Sea, I'm sorry that your father in law's prognosis isn't better.

Major illness is hard to deal with Soodle, you just take it a day at a time. I found that out when my Dad had a severe heart attack and had triple by pass surgery.

thanks Bich.... he is in a teaching hsopital in Dublin. I have no fears about the care or treatment he is receiving. It is second to none. But all I can think about is Steve Jobs.... if money could have saved him, he would be alive today. I am sorry to be dragging down the mood of the chog, but I'm awful sad.

8:45 pm
jesdraggon

i'm well, molly. though i had to make collections calls today at work, and that's no fun.
8:47 pm
MollyL

I hear you Jes, I have had to do that too. I much prefer collection letters. But sometimes phone calls are all that will work.
8:48 pm
jesdraggon

i start with calls. if i don't get a response, i send a letter
8:49 pm
crosshair

sigh..so many books,so little time ,i figured out once that at and average of 2 books a week we are limited to10,000 or so in our lifetiume;((
8:49 pm
crosshair

life time
8:49 pm
bethn

I have to do them for our company, I always start as if possibly i have not posted their payments so as not to sound hostile. I am the only person in the office so i have some kind of relationship with most of our clients usually we come to some kind of payment schedule
8:49 pm
jesdraggon

did a couple letters today too; for people who've disconnected or changed their phone numbers
8:49 pm
MollyL

Jes, it gets hard when you have to start mentioning denying services for unpaid invoices, but that sometimes gets people to take notice.
8:51 pm
jesdraggon

have only had to do that a few times, molly. will usually still provide services, on condition that they pay in advance for everything we plan to do.
8:51 pm
bethn

of course there are always a few that just dont pay. I have had to stop services on a few accts over the years. Some have called back some months later and asked to be restarted and then become abusive when i said we could but that it would be on a "payment must be received at the time of service" I was actually a little afraid of that loon
8:52 pm
jesdraggon

very small here too, beth... if possible, i'd like to keep most of these people as clients. i don't like sending people to collections, and generally only do so as a last resort after multiple warnings.
8:52 pm
jesdraggon

though, frankly, the number of warnings varies based on the amount of bs they fling me.
8:53 pm
MollyL

It's a fair deal, Beth and Jen. If someone has taken advantage of the credit you've given them, "pay up front" should be their only option.
8:53 pm
jesdraggon

some people are just so clueless though... we've actually had people that we've sent to collections come back later and ask if they could make payments on a new bill. HAH right, I'm that stupid.
8:54 pm
MollyL

Jes, the number of clueless in the world frightens me most days.
8:54 pm
bethn

our "collections" is sending my boss to collect a check. We are very tiny, me 2 bosses, and 4 men on crew
8:55 pm
jesdraggon

i don't have time to go to peoples' houses and ask for money in person beth. some of these people are an hour's drive away, and I have things to do.
8:56 pm
jesdraggon

it's bad enough that i have to call people every month. if i can't get them by phone, i send a letter. if they still don't pay, a collections agency can call them. if the collections agency collects, they take a chunk, but whatever i get is more than i was going to get if they didn't pay anything.
8:56 pm
MollyL

Putting accounts into collection is a marginal win. The collection agency takes a big chunk of the payment for their "services".
8:57 pm
MollyL

Snap Jes.
8:57 pm
bethn

most of our clients have been with us for many years - some as many as 30yrs. I couln't possibly make the personal visit but my boss doesn't mind
8:59 pm
MollyL

That is the benefit of a small company with long term business Beth. It's nice you have that option.
8:59 pm
jesdraggon

phone calls are as personal as i can afford, beth. if i started visiting houses to ask for money, i'd never be in the office to do my actual job. doesn't mean that i'm trying to be impersonal, just that it isn't physically feasible.
8:59 pm
crosshair

yes,i have been on both sides of sending in the hounds,and being the one hunted down..there are no winners
9:00 pm
jesdraggon

and some of the people i'm calling have been clients for ages--i try to work with them as much as possible, but i've gotta stay in business. there're a couple i'm letting pay in firewood, for instance.
9:00 pm
crosshair

yes,jes,i extend much credit,but one can only do so much once it goes past 90 days
9:00 pm
herinfernallady

Hi. Jess you do good
9:01 pm
MollyL

That is very nice of you Jes. I'm sure those people appreciate that.
9:02 pm
jesdraggon

got one guy that is 6 months from his last payment, and owes over $800. i'm trying to work with him, because i know he's not just dicking me around--wife's been seriously sick all year, and the 10 year old is a diabetic, but for craps sake, send $10 to keep the account current!
9:02 pm
crosshair

in my own business,i end up sitting on over 5 thousand dollars of recipts..itis hard
9:02 pm
bethn

I'm not saying you should, just how it is for us. there is not enough time in the day to do it all, I limit my "personal" appearances to the occasional times a check has to be delivered for damages our crew incurred - like the time our crew dropped a cleaning cloth in the godiva chocolate strawberry melting station. that needed a very apologetic, sincere person
9:02 pm
jesdraggon

he keeps saying he's trying to get a couple hundred to come in with all at once, and he hasn't managed it in 6 months, so he keeps getting late fees, and at some point i HAVE to send it to collections or i can't anymore...
9:03 pm
MollyL

Jes, it's amazing how many people don't understand how much a small good faith payment will keep them afloat.
9:03 pm
herinfernallady

Hi
9:03 pm
bethn

what kind of business jes?

i used to,,but it got too crazy
9:06 pm
jesdraggon

service station? like fuel? how do people accrue debt there? I thought that was strictly a pay-as-you-go deal?
9:06 pm
crosshair

people would tab their smoke habbit and that would add up too fast
9:07 pm
jesdraggon

ah. yeah... i'd consider that "elective" and not allow payments on it anyway, crossy :)
9:07 pm
jesdraggon

i'm more lenient on emergency things
9:07 pm
crosshair

i am a softie jes..just 20dollars till our diability cheque comes in...
9:07 pm
herinfernallady

Crossie there was a service station around the corner from my house and that was our local place we were really good with them. My ex's Brother in law gave them our number as he had no money. We knew nothing about it. So I told them that we were good with them and send the cops after him as we had no idea.
9:08 pm
crosshair

i need gas to get to littlebillys chemo treatments..and on it goes

Hi all. I run a bar and we do not do credit at all! The people who used to run the place allowed long term tabs but we are pay as you go.
9:09 pm
herinfernallady

Hi Pint
9:10 pm
jesdraggon

we have one woman who's constantly paying her kids' bills, because her kids are losers. and every time the kid comes in and says "phyllis is paying" i call and ask her.
9:10 pm
jesdraggon

i think my accounts receivable right now is around $20,000.
9:10 pm
bethn

our co used to run a tab with one of our small gas stations,we paid in full every week, we have 4 vehicles that we gas up daily. it was a good deal for him, we never filled up anywherre else, and our men did'nt have to carry cash. when he sold, the new owner wasnt interested in that arrangement so now we pay cash dailly at a different station
9:10 pm
crosshair

that is sad jes
9:10 pm
jesdraggon

most of that is current/in payment accounts, thankfully.

9:13 pm
MollyL

Jes, you are doing something right with only $20,000 in accounts receivable.
9:13 pm
jesdraggon

should be zero, molly. officially, we don't take payments!
9:14 pm
bethn

we told them we were willing to give them a large sum up front so they would always be ahead, i think it was too much bookkeeping for them. I love the word "bookkeeping" 3 sets of double letters in a row : )
9:14 pm
crosshair

and our fuel when droppedi n our tanks must be paid in full within 24 hours sitting one 500 lotres for credit does not do us any favours
9:14 pm
jesdraggon

and that's gonna get more official if the state keeps on with trying to classify anybody that takes payments as a lender, and makes us do all the credit checks and "red flag" crap that banks have to go through.
9:15 pm

Jen, if that happens, I guess you will have to go the route of many physicians and ask for payment at the time services are rendered.
9:16 pm
jesdraggon

we do, molly. and the bulk of our clients pay at the time...
9:16 pm
herinfernallady

I really do not want to take brat cat to the vet
9:17 pm
jesdraggon

but there's always someone who wants to do hold checks, or "can't I pay half next month?", and then I end up with a pile of bad/bounced checks and a list of phone calls because they never did send a payment.
9:17 pm
bethn

nite crossy sleep tight
9:17 pm
bethn

what's wrong with the brat?
9:18 pm
Pint1

It's really unfortunate this happens to you jessdragon. I know you perform the services because you care what happens to the animals but if this keeps up you won't have the luxury of that choice. It sucks that people don't understand that.
9:18 pm
herinfernallady

She needs her annual check up but the vet Dr Roach retired. He was really good with her. As she was badly neglected we have to be very selective of who we go to as she gets all pissy and then takes it out on bags by wizzzing on them
