1:13 am

sydney has flood warnings, but we are very high up... over 500m above sea-level so we are safe, but so many suburbs are not. Is sad
1:15 am
mrpresident

I remember YEARS ago! that the most affluentual suburbs of sydney were flooded, cost a fortune for the damage... and still, the foreshores of sydney are being flooded and government and people do nothing to move them to safety. I think that is appalling to let that happen.
1:16 am

and remembering, most of the people living in these suburbs are very elderly.

bad story, west
6:31 am
rubyfoo

can you come back from that kind of poisoning?

6:32 am
doseffing

... depends on the amount of brain damage ...
6:32 am
rubyfoo

hello dose
6:32 am
westford

I think it was an isolated incident so not all the people in the hotel were affected
6:32 am
westford

hi dos
6:33 am
westford

I know teach is setting up a music festival and all I could think of was I hope the people coming in for that weren't harmed
6:34 am
doseffing

... the carbon monoxide doesn't let go of the blood molecules the way carbon dioxide does ... so oxygen can't connect in the lungs ... thus oxygen doesn't get to the brain ... ... break the chemical bounds by given them lots and lots of oxygen and everything is fine ... ... unless it has taken too long
6:34 am

... morning
6:34 am

that's good to hear dos I do hope they got to them in time

6:38 am
westford

6:38 am
rubyfoo

I guess I've never seen anything that cu**
6:39 am

6:43 am
doseffing

... sorry ... male perspective ... found it first before the 9
6:44 am
westford

maybe the subliminal message in the grid forced me to bake
6:44 am
rubyfoo

I used to love baking, but husband doesn't eat sweets or homemade bread.... :(
6:45 am
MollyL

I wouldn't know Ruby, my husband's side of the family are gypsy-like. Spread all over everywhere. There are a lot of people with that last name down south.
6:45 am
westford

send it over here..I have yeast and that's the only progress I have made
6:46 am
rubyfoo

I love homemade bread; it's why I had granite counters installed
6:46 am
MollyL

Ruby, you should make mini loaves for yourself. You can freeze them.
6:47 am
rubyfoo

that's a good idea
6:47 am
westford

we have granite counters..how do they figure in ?
6:47 am
rubyfoo

I don't like the local bread although it's highly to**ed
6:47 am
westford

good idea molly
6:48 am
MollyL

Good kneading surface West. I use a bread maker so I don't think of things like that.
6:48 am
rubyfoo

they're the best for kneading and rolling out pastries
6:48 am
rubyfoo

but the best cooking trick of all, is buying Westofrd frozen white bread, letting it thaw, the rolling it out and braiding it, letting it rise, adding olive oil and sea salt and claiming it's homemade for company
6:49 am
westford

now that I could do
6:51 am
MollyL

Oh, now I want to do that. Hmm, makes mental note to add frozen bread dough to the grocery list.
6:52 am
rubyfoo

and you can claim all the credit; they'll never know
6:52 am
westford

is the olive oil and salt added before or after baking?
6:52 am
rubyfoo

before
6:53 am
rubyfoo

and yu just smoosh the oil on with your finger so that the sea salt adheres
6:53 am
rubyfoo

you can braid it or make a spiral
6:54 am
westford

you said roll it out..then divide it into threes?
6:55 am
rubyfoo

once it thaws, you make a long strip, then cut it and braid
6:55 am
rubyfoo

I meant roll it out by hand
6:55 am
rubyfoo

like clay
6:55 am
MollyL

I can't do the salt though, I'm a low sodium girl these days.
6:55 am
westford

I see now
6:55 am
rubyfoo

it is so simple and delish
6:56 am
MollyL

<---Loves the word SMOOSH
6:56 am
rubyfoo

olive oil and a little oregano or thyme maybe
6:56 am
MollyL

I was thinking onion and garlic powder
6:56 am
rubyfoo

but does enable accept it???
6:56 am
rubyfoo

that would work
6:56 am

7:00 am
westford

you said it ruby
7:00 am
Trifioso

she seems to be. the classes are a lot easier than the ones she is used to at home, which is abit of a surprise, and kids at the school are OBSESSED with glee (aren't we all!) and keep asking her if she knows this film star, or that tv star, or how many movie sets she has been on. I am guessing they aren't --quite-- up to speed on where massachusetts is, exactly
7:01 am
MollyL

<---So NOT obsessed with Glee
7:01 am
rubyfoo

it isn't on Fr TV
7:01 am
Trifioso

oh, I love me some glee, molly!
7:02 am
rubyfoo

I was lucky to find The Big C
7:02 am
Trifioso

she said yesterday the math teacher asked them what 33 divided by 11 was, and some girl yelled, 10!
7:02 am
movieman

ou7/40= opposite of in+rebounded sound
7:02 am
Trifioso

yelled it after a prolonged silence, mind you. how sad is that?

Hmm, not too bright those kids, eh?
7:04 am
Trifioso

me either! and get this - she is at a school for the gifted.
7:05 am
rubyfoo

that is depressing about the "ten"
7:05 am
MollyL

A school for the gifted? And the kids can't divide 33 by 11? Oh dear Lord.
7:06 am
car.eeyore

<---- not having much luck with any of the clues today :(
7:06 am

maybe that's the "new math"

Hey girl!
7:06 am
rubyfoo

like "wasup"?
7:07 am

I am more worried than ever now that she is gonna be way behind when she gets home, but I am gonna let that go. she can make up work.
7:07 am

time for newspaper in front of the fire
7:07 am

yay!
7:07 am

that probably is the superior spelling, yes ruby
7:07 am

Just relax. Let her enjoy.
7:07 am

Let her be the smartest one in the class for a while!

Funeral?!?!?!?

And what time is that?
7:16 am
MollyL

Oh, I would love to see Downton Abbey decorated for Christmas.
7:17 am
Haz1558

It looked even more splendid than usual, and that's saying something.
7:17 am
Trifioso

11 this morning,bernadettes dad. it's so sad how the funerals for parents are ramping up. I guess it's just life isn't it? we all got married at around the same time, had kids around the same time, and now everyone seems to be losing their parents
7:18 am
car.eeyore

Ahhhh trif.....
7:18 am
car.eeyore

Oh no! I didn't even know. Please send them my love.
7:18 am
MollyL

A good bit of the charm of that show for me is noticing all the detail of the decor. And I just swoon over the costuming.
7:18 am
car.eeyore

I really need to start watching it.
7:19 am
Trifioso

you SO TOTALLY DO! I love Downton Abbey more than I can even say
7:19 am
car.eeyore

OK...so what time?
7:19 am
Haz1558

I know, the costumes are great. You'll always find people over here who can spot things amiss like tv aerials and things or too many buttons on a waistcoat but overall it just sucks you in.
7:20 am
car.eeyore

ballpark?
7:20 am
Trifioso

though I must say, I preferred season one, which wasn't quite as sensational and soap opera like
7:20 am
Trifioso

ummmm..... 12:30 ish?

OK. I will make sure we are here.

7:21 am
Haz1558

Yes, season two came in for a lot of criticism because the stories became less believable - it had the air of having been written quickly in order to cash in on the huge success of series one.
7:22 am
Haz1558

Even with that, it's still escapist viewing.
7:22 am
Mom

I would like to see season 1, I hope the library will have it
7:23 am
Haz1558

Hello, Mom. I'm sure they will and you can indulge yourself.
7:23 am
Mom

Hi Haz. How are things going with you?
7:24 am
MollyL

One of the reasons I'm glad I bought into Amazon Prime is that it has all of Season 1 on it for free. : )
7:24 am
Haz1558

I'm being kept very busy with duties to do with the local Festival. I'm the secretary for the Speech and Drama section and there's a lot of paperwork/admin involved.
7:25 am
Mom

That sounds like a lot of fun. It is probably good that you are doing this so that you stay busy. :-)
7:25 am
Haz1558

I had said that I would wait unti lafter the Festival to think about getting another dog, but husband is proving unexpectedly reluctant to get another one. He found Spangle's death much more traumatic than I had even realised.
7:26 am
Mom

maybe holding off a bit longer will help him
7:26 am
Haz1558

I'll not force the issue, but springtime this year would have been ideal.
7:27 am
Haz1558

And I've landed myself in PB...
7:28 am
Mom

I would think that it would be. Our oldest got their golden at the end of November a year ago. They said they would not get another puppy in the winter again
7:28 am
Mom

hmmm let's see what Haz said ...
7:28 am
Mom

got it
7:28 am
Haz1558

What I wasn't going to force.
7:29 am
Haz1558

Good, you found it easily.
7:29 am
Mom

thank you, I love free clues
7:29 am
Mom

how has your daughter adjusted to married life?
7:29 am
Haz1558

I also had a nice e-mail from FM's cousin. It was good to hear from her. I still find it hard to believe that FM's gone.
7:30 am
Mom

I'm glad she wrote. She posted a lovely item on Facebook.
7:31 am
Mom

I had computer issues and lost my email addresses. If no one has sent it to you I would like to.
7:31 am
Haz1558

That was good of her. It helped to make a connection and I was glad that the family appreciated the good wishes.
7:32 am
Haz1558

If you don't mind, I'd like that. Do you want me to drop you a line so that you can get my address again?
7:32 am
Mom

To know that a loved one was cared about and admired has to help.
7:32 am
Mom

yes, please
7:33 am

*by so many across the world

7:41 am
Haz1558

You'd probably have to prise Ata off her sea-urchins and barnacles to get her here.
7:41 am
hurshy

i know! all she ever posts about on facebook is sea-stuff.
7:41 am
Vicuna

I've been fine, hursh, just in perpetual lurk mode. How about you?
7:41 am

oh basically fine here too. got my tonsils out.

It's 106 miles to chicago, we gotta full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses
7:42 am

have you totally recovered hurshy
7:42 am
Vicuna

Most people try to prise barnacles off their stuff, but then Ata swims along and they have to prise her off the barnacles!
7:42 am
hurshy

yes i've recovered
7:42 am
Vicuna

Hello, Molly. =)
7:43 am

7:43 am

It's a line from The Blues Brothers and my immediate response to "we're getting the band back together".
7:43 am
Haz1558

Thanks, Mom, much appreciated.
7:44 am
Mom

you are so welcome :-)
7:44 am
Haz1558

I was thinking the other day about how shocking it is that I haven't seen so many films. Blues Brothers is one among many.
7:44 am
hurshy

what is it with S words?!
7:45 am
Vicuna

To tell the truth, I'm not sure I've ever actually seen it all the way through, either. But I'm pretty sure I've seen most of it at one time or another.
7:45 am
MollyL

Well, you can put it on your "movie bucket list" Haz.
: )
7:45 am
Vicuna

They come between R words and T words. ;P

I am not a movie watcher, but our homemakers group went and saw One for the Money on Sunday

My older two sons are versions of Jake and Elwood. I've seen that movie dozens of times.

My problem is that I hate seeing them in the cinema. They turn the volume up so loud that I'm deafened.
7:47 am

Haz, I agree. Movies at the theater are WAY too loud.

Thank goodness I'm not the only one!
7:48 am

good for you Trif
7:48 am
MollyL

Especially the action films. I was practically deaf after we saw a Die Hard movie at the theater.
7:48 am
Mom

the previews here were much louder than the actual movie
7:49 am
Haz1558

Husband and I once went to see 'Clear and present danger' in the cinema. Thanks to the noise and the tricky storyline, we had to watch it a couple of times at home before we could figure it all out.
7:50 am
Mom

I wish I could stay and play but .... it is Thursday so that means grocery day! I love going to the grocery
7:51 am
Vicuna

Maybe if there are really this many of us in agreement we should all start leaving complains with the theater managers. Probably loads of people dislike the noise so loud, but we've all been fooled into thinking we're the only ones.
7:51 am
Vicuna

*complaints
7:51 am
Trifioso

okay, I really should get going now. blessings to all....
7:51 am

not here in ny but did in pa..
8:00 am

i've never really understood why SEEING his shadow (a sunny day) would mean more winter.
8:00 am

peri, it is the MOST adorable cu9
8:01 am

the longest cu word I have is cu6
8:02 am

No kidding, hurshy. Other people's children always grow up fast! =D
8:02 am
Aloyisius

and then keep going
8:02 am

Peri, think of things that are not just adorable, but downright saccharine. And the most of that.

I am trying but just can't get the ending right

by the way vi, :P what i meant of course was WHY are S words SO HARD to FIND
8:06 am
Vicuna

Yeah yeah, I know. I was just being a smarty-pants.
8:06 am
hurshy

i know. hence the :P
8:08 am
Vicuna

Oh, hurshy, feline news for you: our cat died in the spring and we adopted another in the summer.
8:08 am
hurshy

oh i am so sorry. how is the new one?
8:09 am
Vicuna

The new one drives me batty by lying all day between computer and keyboard... and stre-e-etching... and pushing keyboard, mouse, and any papers overboard.
8:09 am
hurshy

:) sounds nice to me
8:10 am
hurshy

name that proper noun! poirot portrayer
8:10 am
Vicuna

But the nice thing is she really considers the kids her family, too. Nightshade never considered them anything but rather tiresome interlopers best ignored.
8:10 am
Vicuna

Suchet
8:11 am
hurshy

ding ding ding!
8:11 am
hurshy

maybe it helps to have the kids first and then the cat.
8:11 am
Vicuna

Absolutely.
8:12 am
MollyL

I would dearly love to know how Phil saw his shadow when it's been cloudy all morning.
8:12 am
hurshy

i've been watching a lot of murder she wrote lately. i do not know why i love that show so much.
8:13 am
Vicuna

Maybe it was the shadow from all the television crew spotlights!
8:14 am
crosshair

just checked the news,wiarton willie failed to see his shadow,so a early spring is coming
8:14 am
hurshy

hmm, conflicting reports from canada and the US
8:14 am
crosshair

you and phil can have 6 more weeks of winter if you wish
8:14 am
Vicuna

Considering that around here we've barely had any winter yet anyway, I'm not that fussed over when spring comes.
8:14 am

h'mm.. so some places will have an early spring and others won't
8:14 am

I've never really understood the whole groundhog thing. Technically, there are 6 more weeks of Winter (Spring being about 46 days away)
8:18 am
crosshair

we also have had hardly any winter to speak of,i think it only went below minus 20 once and the snow levels are way,way down
8:18 am
crosshair

thats the idea molly,the furry rats win no matter what
8:18 am
mixi6

snow? Haven't seen any this winter.
8:18 am
hurshy

well yes Winter but the groundhog is about winter like weather.
8:19 am
hurshy

The celebration, which began as a Pennsylvania German custom in southeastern and central Pennsylvania in the 18th and 19th centuries, has its origins in ancient European weather lore, wherein a badger or sacred bear is the prognosticator as opposed to a groundhog.[6] It also bears similarities to the Pagan festival of Imbolc, the seasonal turning point of the Celtic calendar, which is celebrated on February 1 and also involves weather prognostication
8:20 am

the c's are so hard
8:43 am

i just stare and stare
8:43 am

8:43 am

8:45 am
Aloyisius

just found one of my favorite birds.. the ru6.33-sided towhee is in the grid
8:45 am
Aloyisius

such pretty colors
8:45 am
bichon

How many do you have to have before you list. I always try for at least half way
8:45 am
uusue2

yay hurshy!
8:45 am
hurshy

i do 80-90% depending on how i'm feeling about the grid. today was 85
8:45 am
hego

it's up to you Bichon
8:46 am
mixi6

I try for 1/2 way, or when I get frustrated.
8:46 am
hego

make your own rule
8:46 am
Aloyisius

wow, I aim for 75%
8:46 am
bichon

I do, but I was just wondering what others do
8:46 am
uusue2

2/3 for me although I haven't gotten that far in a long time
8:47 am
hego

depends how much time I have
8:47 am
Aloyisius

I just divide 4 into the words total and use that number
8:47 am
hurshy

if i based it on how much time i have i would never get the list.
8:48 am
hego

: )
8:49 am
hurshy

BUT there is a possibility that sometime this year i MAY be able to get a job where i have more WORK to do!
8:49 am
hurshy

that would be exciting.
8:49 am
hego

yikes you were right about the c's
8:51 am
Punster

Lol I find it amusing I'm not the only one who works on that, personally I try for at least 80% of the words; today I hit 35 left before needing help :)
8:51 am
hurshy

one must have a goal
8:51 am
mixi6

I listed at 119 today.
8:51 am
Aloyisius

wtg, Punster
8:52 am
hurshy

but no matter what your goal, you get the list and then you find yourself going, "ack, how did i miss THAT?"
8:52 am
Punster

lol thanks Aloy
8:53 am
Punster

Amen to that hurshy! :D
8:53 am
hego

right hursh
8:53 am
Aloyisius

hurshy, you used to go listless.. I remember.. wish I could finish one without having to look up one single word.. think I did once, a small grid though
8:53 am
mixi6

agreed.
8:53 am
bichon

right hurshy
8:53 am
mixi6

found the f number after I listed!
8:53 am
hurshy

yes that was when i didn't have a job at all.
8:54 am
Aloyisius

well, there you have it.. time is of the essence
8:55 am
mixi6

I think I've only completed 2 without a list and they were both small.
8:55 am
hego

me too
8:55 am
Aloyisius

lol, just found the smelly st 6.24
8:55 am
bichon

I don't think I've ever finished without the list, but the one earlier this week, 73, I got pretty close
8:55 am
MollyL

I'm sure how long you remain list-less depends a lot on how much time you have to devote to the grid.
8:56 am
Aloyisius

righto, Molly
8:56 am
Punster

I've only ever completed 4 grids without help, with the biggest at about 130 words - still proud about that :P
8:56 am
hego

yes, Molly
8:56 am
hurshy

i could still go listless now - occasionally do if it's a real friendly grid - but somehow i've lost the taste for sitting in front of a babble grid for lots of hours
8:56 am
MollyL

On work days, I am seldom more than in and out, finding a few words here and there.
8:56 am
bichon

Does getting help from the chat log count as going list-less
8:57 am
hurshy

yes
8:57 am
mixi6

yes
8:57 am
MollyL

I think that is a matter of opinion Bich. I think getting stats on words is just the same as consulting the list for stats.
8:57 am
bichon

yeah!
8:57 am
hurshy

there is an extra level of no-list no-clues which i've done once or twice.
8:57 am
Punster

I count it as words found with help, so personally no
8:58 am
hego

never. lol
8:58 am
Aloyisius

I agree with Punster
8:58 am
MollyL

Yes, I agree Punster. Good way to define it. "Words found with help".
8:58 am
Aloyisius

so.. a "purist" Babbler would say.. close the chat log
8:59 am
hurshy

i think that the concepts are different in some of our minds since once upon a time there was no list, but people still helped each other back then.
8:59 am
Punster

lol on occasion I'll actually turn the chatbox to friends just so I don't accidentally see hints that'll mess with my total lol
8:59 am
Punster

HEH in other words I agree with Aloy
8:59 am
bichon

I've resigned myself to needing help, but not tons of help
8:59 am
Aloyisius

i remember, well, hurshy
9:00 am
hego

just the ones you're really stuck on
9:00 am
mixi6

needs feeling of accomplishment more than purist definition of no list.
9:00 am
MollyL

I turn off the chat when people are cluing words I don't have.
9:00 am
Aloyisius

most all of us do, mixi.. (-:
9:00 am

9:01 am

hi judi; I missed the chocolate pie. Is there any left?

Plenty, ruby. Beware. It contains to4.

9:48 am

9:48 am

s really made with to4.
9:48 am

Do "decent" and "to4" even belong in the same sentence??

Corn IS a type of grass molly
10:01 am

I believe that corn is part of the grass family, yes
10:01 am
movieman

As are barley, wheat, oats etc
10:01 am
MollyL

This is the kind of stuff you only discover here. I always thought corn was a vegetable.
10:02 am

I can barley corntain myself.
10:02 am

in fact if you let your grass grow and look at it carefully you can see the relationship - look at the way the leaves grow, the seed head, and so on

Oh not too bad thanks... you?
10:40 am

And good morning to you too.
10:40 am
rururocks

pretty well. got some decent news on my knee from a new doctor
10:41 am
negativeneil

Missing a lot of Babble lately... life gets in the way, dammit.
10:41 am
negativeneil

Oh really? What's that?
10:41 am
rururocks

yeah.. Babble is a huge time commitment
10:42 am
negativeneil

Haha. If you let it be I guess.
10:42 am
rururocks

Looks like I may not need a replacement.. but my tennis days are over for sure.
10:42 am
negativeneil

Oh yeah? So what can be done?
10:42 am
negativeneil

Is there some way of fixing it so you're not in all that pain anymore?
10:43 am
rururocks

I have to have some more tests done and a bone scan..then I will know more
10:43 am
rururocks

maybe arthroscopic is my fate
10:43 am
negativeneil

Oh, ok.
10:43 am
negativeneil

Arthroscopic surgery shouldn't be too bad. Some pain and swelling for a little while after while it heals.
10:44 am
negativeneil

But that's to be expected with any surgery.
10:44 am
rururocks

this doctor doesn't feel replacement is warranted
10:44 am
negativeneil

Good!
10:44 am
negativeneil

Some would want to do it anyway, or too easily.
10:44 am
rururocks

so.. I had some relief..the pain has lessened somewhat and is only bad in wet-cold weather
10:45 am
negativeneil

Oh really? What has given you that pain relief?
10:46 am
dianedecoder

ruru.... I've had arthroscopic surgery done on both knees... it helps for quite a while,... but is not a cure all.... My pain is back but as with you, the specialist says they do not yet warrant replacement :-(
10:46 am
rururocks

it's just sort of toned down in the last few weeks.. I'm not sure why.. maybe the inflammation has gone down some
10:46 am
negativeneil

Oh, do they not want to do knee replacements until a certain age?
10:46 am
rururocks

sorry to hear that Diane
10:47 am
rururocks

I think they only last so long neil
10:47 am
rururocks

surgeries are great as you get older
10:47 am
negativeneil

Oh geez. :( That's not such good news.
10:47 am
rururocks

I mean not so great
10:47 am
dianedecoder

I rely on cold packs, anti-inflammatory drugs and a topical anti-inflammatory cream called Dyclofenac.... surprisingly that helps !!
10:48 am
negativeneil

Wow. You should give that a try ru?
10:48 am
rururocks

I can't take anti-inflammatory drugs.. bothers my GI
10:49 am
negativeneil

Oh no. :(
10:49 am
rururocks

but the cream might help
10:49 am
negativeneil

Well the topical cream may help?
10:49 am
negativeneil

Yeah.
10:49 am
dianedecoder

But I have good times too... and the more you can build up the muscles around the knee, the better it is... I don't take drugs very often... just Aleve occasionally
10:49 am
negativeneil

And the cold packs too.
10:50 am
negativeneil

What exercises would build them up, Diane?
10:50 am
rururocks

I take vicodin when it is bad .. that helps me cope
10:50 am
dianedecoder

and the treadmill.... I can do that ! .... no impact. Sleeping is the real problem... can't find a place to "put" them when in bed.... my knees, that is LOL
10:51 am
rururocks

was wondering where she was going there
10:51 am
dianedecoder

lol.... thus the clarification !
10:52 am
negativeneil

You would, ru. :P
10:52 am
rururocks

maybe I can tell Mrs Ru that more sex will help me build up my muscles?
10:52 am
negativeneil

[thinks ruru's mind needs a cleansing]
10:52 am
negativeneil

Yep, I know. I should talk. :P
10:52 am
negativeneil

Just stay off your knees, ru. ;)
10:52 am
rururocks

talk about the pot calling the kettle something
10:53 am
negativeneil

I actually hurt my left knee that way, last week.
10:53 am
rururocks

woof
10:53 am
negativeneil

But a couple of days on extra-strength Ibuprofen and it was a lot better... fine now.
10:53 am
dianedecoder

Old minor injuries from childhood come back to haunt one... they find all the vulnerable places and settle in with a vengeance.... in the spots where the osteo-arthritis dwells as well.
10:53 am
rururocks

the knee you mean?
10:53 am
negativeneil

Yep. I injured that knee as a kid.
10:54 am
negativeneil

Yes ruru, the knee. :P
10:54 am
rururocks

I just wish I cut back on tennis some instead of being a maniac about it over the last ten years

They won't just lop off the 40%, because then the rich wouldn't get all the exceptions and the poor will support them.

12:20 pm

filling that passport!
12:21 pm
uusue2

although it turns out that even though my retirement pay will be about 3/4 of what I make now, my take-home will be almost the same due to fewer deductions
12:21 pm
crosshair

yaaaa for sue!
12:21 pm
rubyfoo

12:23 pm
rubyfoo

12:23 pm
MollyL

Yeah she does Ruby, that was a joke.
12:23 pm
rubyfoo

12:23 pm
mixi6

oh wow sue.
12:24 pm
uusue2

I am looking forward to it - was getting pretty burned out. And I can still teach a course every now and then if I want to (and if they want me to).
12:25 pm

12:25 pm
MollyL

Sounds like a charmed life.
12:25 pm
mixi6

just don't get back in debt uusue.
12:26 pm
uusue2

No, the debt problems were due to two ex-husbands who are now out of the picture. It feels good to be starting over again.
12:27 pm
mixi6

then they are worth being ex-es.
12:27 pm

Reminds me of one of my favorite Dickens quotes: It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.

1:43 pm

That's lovely Molly, and describes this time of year so well!

3:02 pm

no idea what it was but the wind chill in Chepstow this lunchtime was breathtaking!
3:03 pm
Soodle

Am very impressed with Focal's new acronym... NWB. Bless the inventor of electric blankets.
3:04 pm
Glantarell

and hot water bottles
3:04 pm
lilliann

i don't need electric blankets soodle as i hjave 2 cats plus i'm in the menopause so i have to have the radiator off in the bedroom as i'm the nearest to it and i have a fan going all night on high...poor hubby who normally gets hot has the cover over his head!!!lol
3:04 pm
Soodle

Bless 'em all! :-)
3:04 pm
Glantarell

never felt the need for eith in a home with heating - this unheated home takes me back to my childhood where I used to admire the ice patterns on the inside of the windows...
3:05 pm
Glantarell

have you tried a 'chillow' Liliann?
3:05 pm
lilliann

and dis you have an outside toilet glant?
3:05 pm
lilliann

by the way that wasn't being cheeky?
3:06 pm
lilliann

chillow?
3:06 pm
Glantarell

i didn;t have an outisde toilet at home, but my grandparents did - and i spent every six week summer holiday woth them
3:06 pm
lilliann

my gnome already is!!:)
3:06 pm
Glantarell

tin bath in fornmt of the fire too
3:06 pm
lilliann

me too glant
3:06 pm
Soodle

Hmm. The radiator in my bedroom is banjaxed, which is fine until the temps drop to sub-zero. During the horrificly bad weather last year, I found ice on the inside of the bedroom window. Thats when I invested in a lecky blanky.
3:07 pm
Glantarell

chillow - a chilled pillow designed to m ake life more comfortbale whenyou are menopausal with night sweats - just google it
3:07 pm
lilliann

as in my grandparents did but they also had an inside one and a bath and my nan used to make me eat a raw carrot every night so i could see in the dark for the loo...never needed the loo at night!!
3:07 pm
Glantarell

no double galzing soodle?
3:08 pm
Glantarell

i am lucky in that my friend is letitng me stay rent free, but also thta I prefer cool homes to hot ones - mind you, I didnlt bargain for the levels of chill we are dealing with in her house, bless her
3:08 pm
lilliann

ok, will do thanks glant. i've been it for nearly 8 years, hopefully it won't be much longer!!
3:09 pm
Soodle

Yup, got double glazing, but a complicated electrical arrangement for outside lights etc means my small window has to be left open 24/7. Brrr
3:09 pm
Glantarell

oh dear Lilliann - my menopause lasted about 10 days but as it was chemotherapy induced I am not sure I'd recommend it!
3:10 pm
lilliann

we need new double glazing as every window is damp in the morning oin winter
3:10 pm
Soodle

The chillow sounds great. Even for the not-yet-menopausal. I often wake in the middle of the night and find if I turn the pillow upside down, I can get back to sleep.
3:10 pm
lilliann

oh, sorry to hear that glant. mine is due to early hysterectomy
3:11 pm
lilliann

i hope all is good now glant?
3:11 pm
Glantarell

it was back in 2005/6 and as far as I know I am fine - a lopsided Amazn woman with attitude LOL
3:12 pm
lilliann

i agree soodle, my hubby could probably do with one as he always turns his pillow over when he gers hot
3:13 pm
lilliann

lol...sounds like my cousin :) glad you're ok now hin
3:14 pm
Glantarell

i have a better appreciation of life for the experience
3:16 pm
lilliann

my cousin is the same and since my life has changed in different ways so do i.i think sometimes we all take life for granted and i also believe we need to live every day one by one and enjoy what we have and take nowt for granted as we never know what is around the corner
3:16 pm
Glantarell

why isn't toesies a word???
3:17 pm
Glantarell

if cu9 is a word i think toesies should be one LOL

3:24 pm
lilliann

3:25 pm
Glantarell

lilliann

3:29 pm
lilliann

3:29 pm
Glantarell

3:30 pm
lilliann

3:30 pm
lilliann

my cousin is the same...she doesn't eat any dairy products
3:30 pm
Glantarell

thye were pretty obvious Lily!
3:31 pm

3:31 pm
Glantarell

I don;t eat any dairy either
3:31 pm
lilliann

yeah...thanks for that glant...not to me!! lol
3:31 pm

The latest craze here is to grow vegetables in raised purpose built beds - either corregated iron or wood...very good where you don't have any space.

3:46 pm
Kazzer99

we are sort of doing a semi raised bed to even out the back garden - it will be 2 boards high at the front but the side boards will go back into the ground so the bed is level for growing
3:46 pm

Lil...I'm not in a chair but would appreciate raised beds! I'm thinking of buying a metal bed to put in a sunny spot on my bricked patio area...my garden is too shaded now with trees
3:48 pm
Glantarell

My friends cat is a bit of a wold one and he mews loudly but he aso lashes put and bites

lynxxx

3:49 pm
Glantarell

I fancy a nectarine or fig
3:49 pm
lilliann

that sounds good lyn, and i think whether your'e in a chair or not raised flower beds are best as no back ache or not so much :)
3:50 pm
Glantarell

but not sure how well a nectaruie would do
3:50 pm
lilliann

3:51 pm
lynxxx

I wish I had appreciated the self sown fig tree that we had in our first house more...now I love love love figs
3:51 pm
lilliann

mine was just lovely...he didn't have a bad bone in his body and shared our garden with all the wild life!! lol
3:52 pm
Glantarell

my friend gets about 6 phone calls a day about him - because he goes off and stands in the gutter in the ,iddle of town and mews incredibly loudly and looks pathertic and people assume he needs help...
3:53 pm
Glantarell

I love love love figs too but they are really expensive here
3:53 pm
lilliann

i've only had them once in ecypt and didn't like them lyn, but i don't know whether it was fresh or old, but i do like dried and fig rolls
3:53 pm
Glantarell

3:53 pm
lilliann

lmao glant...he just likes attention...obviously!! lol
3:53 pm
Glantarell

I think so Lily
3:54 pm
lynxxx

They can be here too...I paid a fortune for them to have on Xmas day - fresh with duck as an entree - yum. Dried figs are great in meat dishes...morrocan type stews etc..add a really nice sweetness
3:56 pm
lilliann

my nextdoor but one neighbout grows all sorts...he has peaches,all the ones i grow, damsons and a few others i cant remember. he buys alot from ideal world on the tv
3:57 pm

Glantarell

they are lovely Lily - just google tagine recipes
3:58 pm
Glantarell

lots of lamb and apricot
3:59 pm
lynxxx

and don't forget to throw in a tin of chick peas - very good for you
3:59 pm
Glantarell

I make veggie moroccans stews with chickpeas and tmaties and spices and apricots and serve with coucous
4:00 pm
lilliann

4:00 pm
Glantarell

4:00 pm
Glantarell

yw
4:01 pm
lynxxx

My fav is lamb, pumpkin, sweet potato, chick peas, dried figs and pretty heavily spiced.
4:01 pm
Glantarell

sounds yummy
4:01 pm
lilliann

hubby doesn't like cous cous but i like it if it has alot of flavour but i'm not a spicy person, he likes chick peas, i don't but i do buy the tins of mixed beans and add them to casseroles and stews
4:02 pm
Glantarell

I adore chickpeas - not quite sure why but I do LOL
4:02 pm
Glantarell

I once had a chickpeas and rice recipe that I couldn;t resist but can't find it any more :-(
4:03 pm
lilliann

i love butternut squash but the bairn and hubby dont
4:04 pm
lynxxx

I do a roasted pumpkin (your butternut squash) and chickpea and cucumber salad, w. cumin and a tart dressing - very nice
4:05 pm
lilliann

i thought pumpkin was a different veg to butternut squash as pumpkimn is rounded and squash is long
4:06 pm
lynxxx

...but I don't like the to4.8 I just found
4:06 pm
lilliann

i don't like pumpkin but i like butternut squash especially roasted
4:06 pm
Glantarell

pumpkin in the Uk is bigger, more watery, softer
4:06 pm
Glantarell

butternut squash is denser, pear shaped and sweeter
4:06 pm
lilliann

the veggy one lyn? i 've never tried it
4:07 pm
lynxxx

just horses for courses Lil...the only 'squash' we have here are the small bright yellow ones
4:07 pm
Glantarell

to4/8?
4:07 pm
lynxxx

sort of Lil...made from beans
4:08 pm
Glantarell

ah, our butternut squash is a very dense one with buff skin (very thin) and which is sort of elongated pear shape
4:08 pm
lilliann

normally in the uk we only use them for halloween. i've tried cooking with pumpkin but can't get on with it? but i must say i do like the pumpkin bread...mom sent me a kit and me and the bairn made some and i like that but preferred it with the icing on
4:08 pm
Glantarell

very diff textured flesh to other squashes
4:10 pm
lynxxx

In Australia we call that butternut pumpkin
4:10 pm
lilliann

and is orange when you take the skin off and we only normally or i do eat the long bit which you can cut up in chuncks and the rounded end i normally throw away as i can't be bothered to get rid of all the seeds
4:13 pm
Glantarell

I just scrape the seeds out with a spoon
4:13 pm
lynxxx

like you I prefer the butternut to any other pumpkin. I have made a cake using that as well - very nice, again lots of spices
4:13 pm
lilliann

ah ok, that's really interesting lyn. as we have 2 different veggies with the same names
4:14 pm
Glantarell

there are some pumkin squashes called turk's heads - they have nice texture and are good baked - also some special ones with blue in the title - dense soft well flavoured flesh
4:14 pm
lilliann

i can't be bothered to do that glant and then you don't get as much squash when it is peeled, plus arthritis in fingers, is too much for me
4:14 pm
lynxxx

the turks heads are very pretty to draw as well!
4:14 pm
lilliann

i've never heard of turks heads glant
4:15 pm
lilliann

you'll have to give me the recipe for the butternut cake lyn, i like carrot and parsnip cake
4:16 pm
lynxxx

they look like a turkish hat lil and are beautifully striped in greens and yellows - like a large and small donut shape on top of one another
4:17 pm
lilliann

oh ok, thanks lyn
4:17 pm
Glantarell

well, I am finally half way through so taking a break - bbl
4:17 pm

Nef

Lil, I was catching up with the chog and saw you didn't threw the squash away with the seeds in it? Cook it whole and then remove the seeds; it's no work at all that way
5:03 pm
lilliann

nite soodle.x
5:05 pm
lilliann

i do throw that bit away with the seeds nef.i suppose if i was doing a soup i wouldn't.how would i cook the whole lot nef? if i peel it which i find difficult can i just roast the whole thing or do you mean boil, slow cook?
5:06 pm
lilliann

i love butternut aquadh and would love more recipes with it
5:07 pm
lilliann

i normally get hubby when he is here to peel hard weg like butternut aquadh and swede
5:07 pm
lilliann

do you have swede?
5:08 pm
lilliann

*squash
5:08 pm
Kazzer99

i am going to grow swede this year
5:10 pm
lilliann

is it easy to grow kazz?
5:10 pm
lilliann

up here they call it turnip, but i keep saying, turnip is white and fed to cows normally although you can buy it in shops..i like turnip roasted
5:11 pm
Kazzer99

dead easy - grew it from seed last time - straight in the ground and just thinned them out. Thing to remember thought is that swede is a brassica so if you suffer from club root remember to lime the soil
5:12 pm
Kazzer99

you can grow little white turnips that you can roast whole
5:12 pm
lilliann

oh ok. is it something i can grow in a deep put?
5:12 pm
lilliann

*pot
5:13 pm
Kazzer99

yes - though if i was growing in pots, I would put them in a long rectangular one
5:14 pm
lilliann

a window box?
5:14 pm
lilliann

would that be deep enough?
5:14 pm
lilliann

as in the long ones?
5:15 pm
Kazzer99

that could work and then you could pick them small and sweet - doesn't need to be too deep cos the top half is above the soil
5:15 pm
lilliann

is that for turnips or swedes?
5:15 pm
Kazzer99

thats what makes the top of the veg purple - exposure to sunlight - both
5:16 pm
Kazzer99

the best thing we grew we dwarf french beans - planted 10 plants and the beans lasted for nearly 18 months
5:16 pm
lilliann

oh ok, how long do they normally take to gtow?
5:17 pm
Kazzer99

about 12 to 15 weeks but they can stay in the soil until you need them - just watch out for things eating them
5:17 pm
lilliann

really...i've never heard of dwarf french beans...and that was in tubs?
5:18 pm
lilliann

aye, same as carrots and radishes
5:18 pm
Kazzer99

it was in the ground but my friend grows all her stuff in tubs and she grows them
5:18 pm
lilliann

oh ok, thanks kazz, will look out for seeds so i can start growing them
5:19 pm
lilliann

i do like french beans...so i expect you still poles for them to grow?
5:20 pm
Kazzer99

i have my seed tin to hand - I will have a peruse and tell you
5:20 pm
lilliann

but i put canes in for my tomatoes,peppers, courgettes, cucumbers etc
5:20 pm
lilliann

ok, thanks kazz
5:22 pm
Kazzer99

Swede it says 6 inches apart but that's if you want big ones - grow 3 - 4 inch apart and you can pick little ones. parsnips are good one for deep pots - grew em like that last year and I got a big enough crop for me
5:22 pm
Kazzer99

roasted beetroot is nice as well
5:24 pm
Kazzer99

we will all have to post our veggies patch photos on line - perhaps we could have a babble veggie growers group in flickr
5:24 pm
periwinkle

first ch5 pls
5:25 pm
lilliann

thanks kazz...i tried parsnips last year and didn't work for me. i will try swede this year and beetroot as hubby and bairn love it and my daughter helps me to plant...not very often as she gets bored but she loves harvesting everything....especially all my different types of potatoes!

Unfortunately - Beloved's aunt's death AND ex-hub's aunt's death were both caused by hospital negligence and bad hospital hygiene. There are now two coroner's investigations to go through.

When I met my husband, fo4/8 years ago, I believed that he was the cu 6/24 person I had ever seen.His face was of5/16 et4/6 in my brain and I could not get it out.When hubby & I started dating he would take me out to dinner&I'd play fo 8/55 with him at the restaurant. I'd ho 4/8 it on over to his ho 5/14 every day after work.All my friends thought my behavior was a ho 4/5 because they thought I acted like a teenager in love.I wanted to be the perfect ho 7/32 whenever he came to my place. Realizing it was silly to keep going back & forth between our ho 6/24 we finally decided to buy a love ne 4/4 and live under the same ro 4/7. The next thing I knew I went to the st 5/10 to buy wedding invitations and I se 4/4 them out. Since then,unfortunately,our marriage has gone so4/5 with money being the ro 4/4 of our problems. I think things are really te 5/10 between us now. They have been the te 7/28 they have ever been. Sh5/12! Hubby wants to to4/4 me off the computer.Hubby to 6/18 me off the computer & us 4/5 it every time I'm babbling. I'm going to give him the laptop befo4/7 he cu 6/24 me out. He can be su 4/7 a pain!

9:06 pm
Jacula

Pickles - hello. I don't know. I don't know what your icon was before. You and a chap at a bowling alley, this one looks like.
9:06 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

it all depends on how good the fiber-optic cables are in one's area, and how much load is on them, and whatnot
9:06 pm

Good night Babblers. Stay warm.
9:06 pm

pickles, when i click on you, i see a pic that looks like it's from an old b/w tv show, but in the chat i see a color pic, probably the bowling alley one
9:08 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

do not panic -- i have given up trying to change profile pix in here since it just doesn't seem to work until you do it a zillion times
9:09 pm
MollyL

That is Buddy's wife, Pickles! Great icon!
9:09 pm
cosdem

the last st6 please?
9:09 pm
Jacula

All you have to do is sign out and then sign in again, and then your new icon shows up. It's always been that way.
9:09 pm
Picklesny

that's not me, i don't know who the girl is the man is my son
9:10 pm
Jacula

s + guided visit with a vowel at the end.
9:10 pm

st6 = st + s*** (bitter tasting) + vowel
9:11 pm
cosdem

thanks jac and gwen.. i shld have tried that lol
9:11 pm
MollyL

I guess I'm the only one who can see Buddy and Pickles.
9:11 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

sign out and sign in again????? not sure i ever tried that!!!!!! (facepalm!)
9:11 pm
Jacula

st6/21, btw, is a conflict or turmoil.
9:12 pm
Jacula

Gwen - do you not turn your pc off at night?
9:12 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

i am running win7. it has a "sleep mode" so, no, it does not get turned off at night. but i do reboot regularly
9:13 pm
Picklesny

how about now?
9:13 pm
cosdem

i can see the icon pickles
9:13 pm
Picklesny

why won't it change on my profile?
9:13 pm
cosdem

but when i click on it its a different pic. a b/w one
9:13 pm
MollyL

I keep saying I can see it, I must be invisible.
9:13 pm
Jacula

Goodness! If more people turned things off at night, rather than leaving them on standby, there would not be such much waste.
9:13 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

same for me, pickles, but maybe i won't see your new pic unless *I* sign out and in!
9:14 pm

9:14 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

"sleep mode" overnight does not use any more electrons than startup does, according to my tech anyway
9:15 pm
Picklesny

why do i even care?
9:15 pm
MollyL

Yes. Right click in your profile and then click RELOAD in the drop down menu.
9:15 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

i'm going to sign out and in and see what i see for your pic, pickles. just a sec.

aha, try the word i just mention, but change the last letter into an diff consonant

I hope you don't mind
9:26 pm
Picklesny

so I never got the answer to my ? If i do part of the puzzle does it help my ranking?
9:26 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

hunting for an F now, and yes, i'm using morewords, heh heh
9:26 pm
westford

if you don't finish your ranking goes down
9:26 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

yes, finding even one word will help your ranking, pickles
9:26 pm
72 Temple Owl

ty gwen
9:27 pm
Picklesny

now I'm getting conflicting reports
9:27 pm
westford

hmm mine always goes down

but it doesn't matter
9:28 pm
72 Temple Owl

te8 pls?
9:28 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

to be honest, i have not paid any attention to my ranking since i started playing, many moons ago. so maybe i'm wrong
9:30 pm
westford

t eo5/10 and a cuppa minus the last letter
9:30 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

aha, found the last f: fo6/27. fo + vowel + execu*** (old word for someone who ahndles a dead person's estate)
9:31 pm
72 Temple Owl

omg ty and i am falling asleep ! bye
9:31 pm
westford

good gwen..had that one
9:31 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

okay, then there's this one: british spelling of fetus (very similar to the other one)
9:32 pm
westford

good night TO..when you wake up there will be a present on your bed table
9:32 pm
westford

have that too
9:32 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

do you have three F words with a double-S in them?
9:33 pm
Picklesny

according to montreal's cream o' stats: you get credit for the percent of points you get versus total for game and you get a point for completing
9:33 pm
westford

no just 2
9:33 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

aha, west, try fo5/16 with a double S in it
9:33 pm
westford

thanks pickles never read them
9:34 pm
westford

have Bob and plural
9:34 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

that would seem to support the notion that finding just one word is better than finding none. but then again, the rankings are also affected by how well everyone else is doing . . .
9:34 pm
dianedecoder

But.... if you miss playing one day, your ranking goes down a point... even if you don't sign in
9:35 pm
westford

sometimes I go for days without gaining a point..figured it had to do with grid size
9:35 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

okay, then you need a 4-letter word with a double S
9:35 pm
dianedecoder

and it takes one month to regain them,
9:35 pm

9:53 pm
gapeach1066@yaho

May I please have a clue for te8-40? Thanks
9:54 pm
stidmama

It is, firefly -- the bruising was almost gone this morning (compared to Monday when the toe was almost black...); and I know it's going to be about 4-5 weeks to stop being tender, so not too worried. My paternal unit tells me to see a doc, but I know there isn't anything that can be done -- the bones are not displaced -- so it's just a waiting game.
9:55 pm
stidmama

te 8? really? *looking*
9:55 pm
firefly779

sorry peach, don't have it

9:58 pm
dianedecoder

Hiya Stid :-) I'm sorry you broke some bones in your foot... :-(( I broke a couple just back of my little toe, up the side of the foot .... it healed but I now find wearing high heels painful... so I don't !!
9:58 pm
firefly779

great clue diane, thx
9:59 pm

Diane you are wonderful.....don't forget it. Thanks

10:01 pm
firefly779

Thanks stiddy - no family or friends, just gonna hotel it with the hubby. Sad to leave my kiddies behind, but it's best this way.
10:02 pm

Well, that will be okay, though. Some time together will be nice, I hope. Be patient and kind with yourself... *protective bubble around firefly*
10:03 pm

diane - cute new pics of the dolly you have for a great granddaughter! i have a penchant for babies with tons of hair as all three of my girls had tons from birth
10:04 pm

thanks firefly... I just added those last few. My three girls had lots of hair as well... son had lots but it was blond and I had to hold him up to the light to see it !
10:04 pm
firefly779

stid - have you heard any negative vibes/news from Harborview/UW? I heard something bad from my end to there and am nervous now going...
10:05 pm
firefly779

of course it could just have been some emergent cases that didn't turn out well, but i don't know...can't find any "news" on it, so maybe it's still just rumore
10:05 pm
firefly779

*rumor
10:06 pm
stidmama

I have NOT heard anything negative about Harborview or UW; Harborview is a top-flight trauma center, and has a solid reputation. Of course, individual mileage can vary...

thanks for the offer stid, but you're doing plenty just being my friend that's close by and helpful ;) Do you know anything about Lynnwood? It's where our hotel is - not sure if it's, um, "safe"
10:10 pm
firefly779

thanks diane, appreciate the kind thoughts :)
10:10 pm
stidmama

Lynnwood does not have a negative reputation, I have a friend in the Seattle area, can check with him if you like
10:13 pm

but this website seems to indicate that there are some risks. http://www.neighborhoodscout.com/wa/ly

10:15 pm

nice work diane - and a fun ending!

well, you still have time to change your reservation at this point...
10:15 pm

YAY diane!!!
10:16 pm
stidmama

but again, lynnwood doesn't actually ring alarm bells when I hear about it. There's a mall there... LOL
10:16 pm
dianedecoder

thanks stid :-) ..... You've cut your hair !!!
10:16 pm
firefly779

not really stid - getting a friends and family deal at the Marriott and it's lots cheaper than the one next to the hospital...but at least I'll be prepared mentally ;)
10:16 pm
firefly779

yeah, i think we're right by the mall
10:17 pm
stidmama

well, Marriott is a GOOD hotel chain, and I would think you are safe there!
10:17 pm
stidmama

LOL yes Diane, and now trying to decide if I want to grow it out again or keep it short and sassy...
10:18 pm
firefly779

i was hoping that might be the case...my saving grace if you will
10:18 pm
stidmama

firefly, are you registered at CaringBridge? It's a free online service so you or your hubby can post updates for people instead of having to field endless emails and phone calls.
10:18 pm
dianedecoder

It really suits you... if it's easy care... go for it. I loved my hair when it was growing out after the chemo.... should have kept it that way .... it even had a wave to it !
10:19 pm
firefly779

anyways, i was going to say that the good news is that it is not cancer, the bad news is that it is a giant aneurysm that's in a difficult to treat area at the back of my brain
10:19 pm
stidmama

well, CARP. VERY good that they found it. VERY sad that it's there to be found.
10:20 pm
firefly779

stid, yes i have heard of that - so far been keeping up with most people on my Facebook, and minimizing calls that way..
10:20 pm
stidmama

If I let it grow again, I think I will keep it to the look I had when I first met pinikula http://www.flickr.com/photos/59401038@

10:20 pm
stidmama

it was my last time to donate hair, diane, which makes me sad. But there is going to be too much gray in it in another three years.
10:21 pm
stidmama

So I figure I might as well go for a nice style now. :-)
10:21 pm
stidmama

firefly, are you my friend on facebook?
10:21 pm
dianedecoder

I miss Pini :-( .... I gues she doesn't play any more ?
10:21 pm
stidmama

she plays occasionally, but has been swamped with work lately, I think
10:22 pm
firefly779

no stiddy, i am not - strictly an IRL FB girl (sorry, it's my way)
10:22 pm
stidmama

that's okay, firefly -- a good policy. I only "friend" babblers, and IRL friends.
10:23 pm
dianedecoder

The new Facebook "timeline" is going to be forced on us very soon, I hear.....I just got used to the last changes !!
10:24 pm
gapeach1066@yaho

firefly, I have a friend in KY with the same problem....was diagnosed over a year ago and so far is still driving and doing her "thing". There are several Babblers who pray and send energy....if I may I will be happy to pray for you.
10:24 pm
firefly779

my hubby knows i play here though, and if anything serious happened, i'd be sure that he'd let my friends here know ;)
10:25 pm
stidmama

I don't like the way facebook (and now Google) just ram new looks down our throats. Just about the time I have things figured out and arranged so I can use them (vision problems) they change it arbitrarily and I have to try to find the settings to make it work again.
10:25 pm
stidmama

okay firefly, but NOTHING serious is going to happen. *stern mama look at weak blood vessels*
