5:34 am

marilyn992

:-)

5:38 am

Haz1558

Molly, just to avoid confusion, the list needs three mo4/5 words between the mo4/6 and mo6/21.

5:50 am

uusue2

ok, that was scary - babble just deleted my whole profile! Thank goodness for Google cached data!

5:50 am

uusue2

and good morning all!

5:50 am

uusue2

(I see that I am starting the day in the PB. Oh well).

5:52 am

Thanks Haz, I'll delete it.

5:52 am

Scrabbler

Good day to all.

5:52 am

uusue2

morning, molly and scrabs!

5:53 am

uusue2

how is your head, scrabs?

5:53 am

Scrabbler

Swelling is down, area is quite sore, neck hurts (whiplash-type injury) but no neurologic issues so I am relieved.

5:54 am

Aloyisius

Happy Monday to all.. glad to hear you are ok, Scrabbs

5:54 am

Scrabbler

Hi Aloy

5:54 am

uusue2

hi aloy!

5:54 am

uusue2

<--- more than familiar with neck injuries

5:55 am

Scrabbler

You had one?

5:56 am

uusue2

fell out of a tree when I was 30 - ok at the time but developed bone spurs many years later - have had three fusions now

5:56 am

Scrabbler

Ugh, yuk.

5:57 am

Scrabbler

I found the 9 all by myself.

5:57 am

uusue2

worst part was that it took almost a year to diagnose what was wrong when it first started acting up, due to misread MRI - probably not a problem you would have (and hopefully you won't have any long-term repercussions like that at all!)

5:57 am

Aloyisius

does not sound like fun, sue.. :-(

5:58 am

uusue2

yay scrabs!!!

5:58 am

Scrabbler

A misread MRI....awful!

5:58 am

Aloyisius

I logged on right as it was being clued, so I can't claim that, Scrabbs..

5:59 am

Aloyisius

speaking of med tests, I have to go now.. having an ultrasound done of right enlarged thyroid.. bbl..

6:00 am

uusue2

good luck, aloy!!

6:00 am

uusue2

and I have to go too, car is due in the shop!

How do I find Molly's list? Where is she listed?

6:51 am

bojazz

i always look for name under rankings

6:51 am

Haz1558

I've just checked. Molly has deleted the list because it wasn't correct - try Mitchdick, but be aware that the mo list isn't correct.

6:52 am

sheila48

Thanks Haz

6:52 am

Haz1558

Go to rankings, do control F, type the player's name you need, it will be highlighted, go to the profile.

6:53 am

sheila48

On an iPod touch! Not that easy......

6:53 am

Haz1558

Ah well, there's your problem.

6:54 am

Haz1558

Technology does have its limitations. Anyway, hope you find a list somewhere, sheila.

6:55 am

Haz1558

Bye for now!

good morning everyone:)do not worry bout sleep overmuch mrp,i have severe apnea and average 4 hours at a time,the rest of it is 15 min here,30 min there before work,5 minutes while laying in the bottom of the tub during a shower..the boy is a great adaptor and can find bits of sleep here and there..on the escalator..in that power meeting with the boss..stopped at a traffic light...lol

10:03 am

crosshair

body

10:03 am

bichon

do you have a CPAP crossy?

10:03 am

crosshair

indeed bichon

10:04 am

crosshair

it is the devils device and i loathe the thing

10:04 am

bichon

so I've heard

10:04 am

crosshair

but i tryu to wear it every night

10:04 am

bichon

Finally my clues have come aboard

10:04 am

mixi6

my hubby uses one every time he lies down.

10:04 am

crosshair

nothing like a 1400 dollar machine that you hate;((

10:05 am

crosshair

but without it,i stop breathing,so what can we do?:(

10:05 am

mixi6

some are supposed to ease up when breathing out now.

10:05 am

lbdawger

ahh, but it's keeping you alive, well worth the machine

10:06 am

mrpresident

(((crossy))) !!

10:06 am

crosshair

it is indeed lbd

10:06 am

crosshair

wiothout it,chance of heart attack and stroke rise 50%

10:06 am

crosshair

(((mrp)))

10:06 am

bichon

what exactly makes it so heinous?

10:06 am

mrpresident

that is a total suck crossy :(

10:07 am

mixi6

a) noise. b) immediate feeling of not being able to breathe out.

10:07 am

mixi6

c) face mask.

10:07 am

crosshair

mine is a full mask type,because my nose often plugs up at night,and when moving during sleep,the seal between mask and face often leaks air into your eyes etc,waking you up,plus even with the built in humidifier,it makes you very,very dry

10:08 am

bichon

sounds odious, but it would be a problem for me if I couldn't sleep on my side

10:08 am

crosshair

that is how i have to sleep,on my side

10:08 am

mixi6

I use the nose strips, and it keeps my nose open.

10:08 am

crosshair

hence the frequent seal breaches

10:09 am

mixi6

qu9?

10:10 am

bogster

you need a different mask

10:10 am

10:18 am

cybernan

10:18 am

Scrabbler

Gulliver is adjusting nicely--using litter boxes, and he lets me approach him, then he puts his head down for me to pet him. He does not like being held but I do it anyway to smooch him up.

10:19 am

crosshair

kissing rabbits will give you hairballs;))

10:19 am

Trifioso

great to hear, scrabbler! Is he Gulliver due to size against the other bunnies?

10:19 am

Scrabbler

I don't like it, Crossy, but I tolerate it. I know that you have struggled from the start.

10:19 am

Scrabbler

I spit out the bunny fur, crossy.

10:20 am

crosshair

lol

10:20 am

Kaplan the Magne

ewwww.

10:20 am

Scrabbler

The bunnies are kept separately in their own bedrooms.

10:20 am

Trifioso

scrabbler, check out my new profile photo - it's secondo with some BIG bunnies (!!) she is meeting on her trip

10:21 am

Scrabbler

Yep, those are big hoppers.

10:21 am

crosshair

you should save it all scrabbs,get a spinning wheel,some carding combs and make some rabbit hair wool,you could knit them little sweaters..saw one woman who did this for her dog.the dog wears a diggie vest made of his own fur:)

10:21 am

Trifioso

oh hey - how do YOU spell relief? it's a phantom today!

10:21 am

Kaplan the Magne

If I only had an e...

10:21 am

Scrabbler

Good idea. I do brush them when they shed. Gandalf is shedding right now--dark grey fur.

10:21 am

Scrabbler

I agree, Kap.

10:21 am

Trifioso

okay, break is over....love to all in babbleland

10:22 am

Scrabbler

Bye Trif

10:23 am

Kaplan the Magne

I am circulating a petition to have the fourth column third row a changed to an e.

10:24 am

Scrabbler

I second that request. All in favor please raise your hands.

10:24 am

Kaplan the Magne

One hand only, please.

10:24 am

Scrabbler

Yep, Crossy was cheating.

10:26 am

Kaplan the Magne

It looks like we have too many conservatives supporting the status quo, so...

10:26 am

Kaplan the Magne

no e.

10:26 am

Kaplan the Magne

all that wasted e potential.

lbdawger

how's the head, scrabs?

10:37 am

Scrabbler

Back--saw siblings. Lump is less swollen, very tender, and biggest issue is sore neck muscles. It was a whiplash sort of injury.

10:38 am

Scrabbler

I like that wa12, Kap.

Scrabbler

Done. Anyone want clues before I go ?

11:14 am

Judi

Q's clues?

11:15 am

Scrabbler

qu5--you need enough people to hold a meeting

11:15 am

Scrabbler

qu9 = occurring daily

11:16 am

Judi

*scratching head over the Q9*

11:18 am

Scrabbler

Same first 4 letters as the qu5, then add Not ego or superego but ** and then add The sun is rad***t today.

11:18 am

MollyL

qu9...first four of the qu5 + The Prime Mer***** is a line of longitude

11:18 am

MollyL

Or what Scrabbs said

11:18 am

Judi

Ty. Think I tried to monkey just about every other version of those letters!

11:19 am

MollyL

There is a bread place that is called Le Pain q9...but it is spelled with an E at the end. It means The Daily Bread

11:19 am

Scrabbler

OK, I am off for today. See you tomorrow.

11:19 am

Judi

Yoiks. That's a very pretentious name for a bread joint.

11:23 am

Judi

Hunger pangs beckon. BBL. *POOF*

things with doctors and referrals and insurance are so dizzying!

11:47 am

crosshair

tell me bout it,dr,s love delaying critical paperwork untill you are almost in a panic

11:47 am

crosshair

especially govt paperwork

11:48 am

crosshair

i think the dr,s do it so they can sell us more meds..lol

11:48 am

crosshair

treat those bleeding stress related ulcers...

11:48 am

hurshy

i had to get a referral from my primary care doctor to have a sleep study. then they referred me to an ENT for my tonsillectomy. but that hasn't really helped so now i need a referral to the dentist to make a thingy for while i sleep and i have to get that from my original doctor

11:49 am

hurshy

lol @ ulcers

11:49 am

crosshair

took me two trys to get an accurate sleep study report

11:49 am

hurshy

this is funny, lickety's printable clues says they are for tuesday the 14th! did i miss a day, or are they just eager for valentine's?

11:50 am

crosshair

and we are only covered for 2 a year,so if you cannot get a good read with 2 studys,you are out of luck

11:50 am

crosshair

remember,they are a day ahead in aussiland

11:50 am

Jindigo

need a clue for AR 7/36

11:50 am

hurshy

yes but usually it is not ahead on there

11:51 am

crosshair

and if you need a cpap machine hurshy,try and get used to the nasal variety of mask..the full face is$$$ and a pita to use

11:51 am

hurshy

i don't think i do, i don't have actual sleep apnea.

11:51 am

hurshy

i'm getting a "mandibular advancement device"

11:51 am

crosshair

then why the sleep study?

11:52 am

crosshair

oh that dental fitting?

11:52 am

hurshy

there are other problems besides apnea!

11:52 am

westford

ar 7/36 is a compound word..something you might have trouble carrying

11:52 am

crosshair

be carefull with those,i hear they have issues of their own

11:52 am

hurshy

i have insomnia, the sleep study was to try to find out why.

11:52 am

hurshy

thanks west!

11:52 am

crosshair

ty west

11:53 am

Jindigo

thanks west

11:53 am

Jindigo

thanks west

11:53 am

hurshy

well i did read that if it isn't well made it can mess up your teeth but the sleep center gave me the name of a dentist they recommend so hopefully that means he can do it well.

11:53 am

crosshair

lol,insomnia is a way of life for me now..4 solid hours a night and what ever cat naps i can grab during the day and at work

11:53 am

westford

you're all welcome

11:54 am

crosshair

those dental fittings are a mid point between the nasal strips and a full blown cpap machine is all

11:54 am

westford

and hello all

11:55 am

crosshair

they will know,if you choke or stop breathing during sleep study

11:56 am

crosshair

i stop breathing on an average of 50 times a night and twitch when i do,so i just went right to the evil cpap:)

11:56 am

westford

that's scary crossy

11:57 am

crosshair

if the dental appt and the mouth fitting are more than 700 dollars,do yourself a favor and just cough up an extra 3 and get a nice cpap machine

11:57 am

crosshair

it is indeed westford

11:57 am

westford

does the machine wake you up?

11:58 am

crosshair

no,it is very,very quiet.what wakes me up is when i roll on my side and break the mask seal on my pillows

11:59 am

crosshair

like i said earlier,my nose clogs up terrible at night,so i cannot use the nasal mask,i need a full facial unit

11:59 am

westford

I mean when you stop breathing

11:59 am

crosshair

no,the machine prevents the stop breathing issue by ramming air down your throat and nose under pressure

11:59 am

crosshair

keeps everythingopen

12:00 pm

westford

that's a good thing then

12:00 pm

crosshair

it is a love /hate thing:)

12:00 pm

westford

I'll bet

12:01 pm

crosshair

but since i do not wish a 50% increase in heart attack or stroke,i do it

12:01 pm

rolin

oh crossy...you have sleep apnea?

12:02 pm

rolin

sorry just caught sight of the chat....my partner has it too..and has a cpap..

12:02 pm

crosshair

indeed rolin:(

12:02 pm

crosshair

12:02 pm

rolin

12:03 pm

crosshair

12:03 pm

crosshair

hi lynxxx

3:51 pm

lynxxx

Hi jmc. What is your news?

3:51 pm

ch1212

hi lynxxx and jmc. I have 1 left, so won't be here much longer... (she says optimistically ;)

3:52 pm

jmcnrick

my poor contractor is in the hospital with unknow lump on back after being declared cancer free in November

3:53 pm

lynxxx

ugh - poor man - hope it is nothing but how worrying for him

3:53 pm

jmcnrick

his brother came by today to see what needed to be finished and essentially asked if i would be willing to wa** on the outside to give his brother something to look forward to

3:53 pm

ch1212

The one who did all the work on your home? I'm sorry to hear that. Cancer sucks.

3:53 pm

jmcnrick

i am so so sorry for him

3:54 pm

jmcnrick

i told his brother if i could get the inside done i would not in the least mind wa**ing on the outside

3:54 pm

lynxxx

how old is the contractor?

3:54 pm

jmcnrick

60s

3:55 pm

ch1212

That is very thoughtful of you. It's true that folks in treatment seem to do better who have plans and projects waiting.

3:55 pm

jmcnrick

maybe 50s

3:55 pm

MollyL

It's nice that you are an understanding customer JMC

3:56 pm

jmcnrick

i remembered how much it meant to my husband that one of his clients would rather stay in jail and wa** for him. . . even though it turned out for naught

3:56 pm

lynxxx

Yes - good to have something to focus on other than the Big C

3:56 pm

jmcnrick

really if i can get into my kitchen i am fine--its not like i do a lot of yard work in Feb anyway

3:57 pm

jmcnrick

and the worst thing that happens to me is that my guests will have to wear rubbers in the back yard for my March 10 party

3:58 pm

lynxxx

March 10? is this significant?

3:58 pm

ch1212

jmc, I'm looking at such a clear photo of your home on google. Don't know how old it is, but it's absolutely gorgeous. Love that porch.
I hope your contractor will be well enough to attend the party.

3:59 pm

jmcnrick

well only to me--it is a saturday mostly and i thought my neighbors and friends could start the spring checking out my roof deck and such

3:59 pm

jmcnrick

it is from about a month ago i think ch1212

3:59 pm

jmcnrick

it is from about a month ago i think ch1212

3:59 pm

jmcnrick

now it has railings and a fan on the roof deck

4:00 pm

ch1212

How old is the structure? I also like the columns, and the landscaping.

4:00 pm

lynxxx

Sounds like fun

4:01 pm

jmcnrick

the basic house was built in 1926 but the decks are new

4:01 pm

jmcnrick

you can see DC Virginia and Maryland from the roof deck

4:02 pm

ch1212

Oh wow! I wish I lived in the area, I would defintely attend the festivities. I do have friends who live right outside DC, and we are overdue for a visit, so perhaps someday.

4:02 pm

jmcnrick

well you would be welcome

4:03 pm

jmcnrick

i hope moll comes out of her shell long enough to come

4:03 pm

jmcnrick

*poles moll's turtle shell*

4:03 pm

ch1212

I was looking at her profile earlier ... wait, we are talking about molly?

4:04 pm

jmcnrick

yep

4:05 pm

jmcnrick

ooops soo sorry molls i only meants to poke not pole!

4:05 pm

ch1212

I thought so. I hope she will too. We have a splendid community of babblers.

4:07 pm

jmcnrick

we do indeed

4:09 pm

jmcnrick

i was reading a note that said: you may want to reconnect to your community and I thought: I need to babble!

4:14 pm

ch1212

Exactly. When my dad died in 2006, and my brother this past August, it was a very real comfort to come here and connect... in a different but meaningful way.

4:15 pm

ch1212

I think back over the many years of babbling, and am a bit amazed at how much many of us have shared together.

4:15 pm

Nef

Good Afternoon, Fellow Babblers. How are you doing today?

4:16 pm

Congrats and bye ch1212

4:18 pm

Nef

YAY, ch1212!!! WTG!!! (and would you come clean off my desk too? DH has piled it full of stuff that doesn'tbelong here

4:18 pm

lynxxx

very well down here Nef. You are still retired and enjoying it?

4:20 pm

Nef

*I* am retired; but I keep getting called back to help out. It seems that the new people weren't adequately oriented to the job; so I'm spending several hours each week answering questiona and finding stuff and etc. there. I wish someone had told me about this a while ago

4:21 pm

lynxxx

nice to be needed though....and I hope you get some 'pocket' money for that

4:21 pm

jmcnrick

hey nef and yikes! they just now figured out they don't know where stuff is?

4:21 pm

jmcnrick

belated whoo hoo for ch1212

4:23 pm

Nef

hi jmc. Yes; the gal who took over for me worked til she retired the end of January; but she didn't teach the newbies anything (I think she figured that if they watched her; they'd "get it". Either that, or she was secretly hoping that they'd fail without her

4:23 pm

jmcnrick

wow that was pretty thoughtless but surely they had a responsibility to ask too

4:24 pm

Nef

and yes, lynxxx, I do put in for a little pocket money for the non-volunteer hours. I'm putting that in an IRA for now

4:25 pm

MollyL

*Laughs at JMC's 1950's use of the word "rubbers" *
: )

4:25 pm

Nef

well, she had a strong personality, and (looking back on it) she was over-bearing and also intimidating too

4:25 pm

Nef

hi Molly

4:26 pm

MollyL

Over bearing + intimidating = Blech

4:27 pm

Nef

may I please have the stats for the 8 & 9? DH wants to go and do stuff; so I need a bit of help for the NBS. Thanks

7:14 pm

periwinkle

hey Molly, I watched it too

7:15 pm

periwinkle

it surprised me too

7:15 pm

periwinkle

it has a great cast

7:15 pm

MollyL

Of course it doesn't hurt that Simon from Flash Forward is in it and I think he's delicious.

7:16 pm

MollyL

I am often bored by "New York theater life" kinds of shows, but something about this one appealed to me.

7:17 pm

cosdem

oh im glad you liked it. i did too.. i just ignored the musical but i thought the storyline was good

7:18 pm

cosdem

the crtiics are calling it a musical west wing which is one of my favorite shoes

7:18 pm

cosdem

shows i mean lol

7:21 pm

MollyL

Interesting analogy. I think The White House and the New York stage are about as different as different can be.

7:21 pm

running for office is pretty much acting though

Picklesny

Hi, minver, i need more help on that one

Minveryork

8:39 pm

Minveryork

Good evening to my fellow babblers! How is everyone?

8:39 pm

MollyL

No worries Pickles. Not many people know the meaning of that word. : )

8:39 pm

Minveryork

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

8:39 pm

8:40 pm

Minveryork

yw

8:40 pm

Minveryork

I am well MollyL, thanks. Saving my last word for later

8:43 pm

Minveryork

I put the word "daily" into the thesaurus and found it

8:43 pm

Picklesny

Ha, Min gotta have the last word. lol

8:44 pm

Minveryork

That is what my husband always tell me:I always have to have to last word.I believe he has to have the last word. Maybe that's why our arguments are always so long. LOL!

8:47 pm

MollyL

As long as you have the last laugh, Min. : )

8:53 pm

Picklesny

just rtead you story, min, hubby must be a good sport

8:56 pm

welki

hi folks

8:56 pm

Minveryork

Husband and I are both good sports.I put up with his crap and he puts up with my crap. Guess that's what marriage is all about. If there was not any crap than it would be boring, right?Mine is certainly NOT boring

8:57 pm

Minveryork

Hello welki!How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle

8:57 pm

MollyL

Hi Welki, how are you tonight?

8:57 pm

Minveryork

*then

8:57 pm

Picklesny

hi, welki

8:58 pm

Minveryork

I hate it when I make spelling errors like that. Shame on me! I should know better. I am an English teacher.

8:58 pm

welki

i'm well, thanks. very busy at work, and the weather has turned, but doing well :)

8:59 pm

crosshair

howdy min and do not worry,crossy is no grammar/spelling nazi:)

8:59 pm

Picklesny

which way did the weather turn?

8:59 pm

MollyL

Min, we all have a margin for error : )

9:00 pm

welki

occasional flurries have turned into a pretty nice winter storm

9:00 pm

Picklesny

blame the keyboard!

9:00 pm

welki

hey crossy

9:01 pm

crosshair

howdy welki

9:01 pm

Picklesny

where are you in canada? We just got our biggest dump in western ny

9:01 pm

welki

alberta, pickles

9:02 pm

Picklesny

I'm geographically challenged : is that in the middle?

9:02 pm

crosshair

i am in ontario(central) and it was a fine sunny spring day here of -1c;)

9:02 pm

welki

you have lake effect snow in rochester - makes for intense storm systems

9:03 pm

welki

british columbia is the most west, then alberta (just east of the rockies)

9:03 pm

Picklesny

not bad today yesterday was big snow

9:03 pm

welki

did albany get it, too? one of my kids lives there

9:04 pm

Picklesny

ty, I picture it better when I can put a name to the location

9:05 pm

Picklesny

Albany is really the other end of the state. generally don't get as much snow

9:05 pm

Picklesny

i could use an e

9:06 pm

welki

(alberta shares it's southern border with montana)

9:06 pm

welki

which makes lbdawger my neighbor :)

9:06 pm

crosshair

E...e...eeeeee...there ya go pickles:)

9:06 pm

Picklesny

ty again welki, its sinking in

9:07 pm

lbdawger

i heard my name being mentioned...hi everyone!

9:07 pm

Picklesny

Nopw how do i put that in the puzzle crossy?

9:07 pm

crosshair

not sure atm:)

9:07 pm

welki

how's your son coping, pickles? you were saying that he was pretty upset about financial aid

9:07 pm

Picklesny

lbd lives in montana?

9:07 pm

welki

hi, neighbor :)

9:09 pm

welki

*looking under the samovar* where'd molly go?

9:09 pm

Picklesny

talked to my son briefly today. he sounded fine. he usually figures these things out as we have never been much help in the money dept.

9:09 pm

MollyL

Over here, by the keg : )

9:11 pm

Picklesny

just found my hubby's fave sauce

9:11 pm

welki

one thing my kids' father and i agreed on was that the kids funded their own college/university and it turned out well - they're all financially 'capable' adults now. i know some folks don't agree with our decision, but it worked out

9:11 pm

Picklesny

ta6/18

9:11 pm

Jindigo

a type of plaid

9:11 pm

lbdawger

hi welki

9:12 pm

welki

or plaque on your teeth

9:12 pm

welki

ohhh, you weren't asking for a clue! ^5 Jindigo - we thought the same thing

9:12 pm

Picklesny

I feel guilty about not being able to help more but he's become very resourceful and a hard worker

9:12 pm

Jindigo

AO 6/18 please

9:12 pm

lbdawger

i think if a kid pays his own way in college s/he often does better. doesn't waste a lot of money or time.

9:13 pm

MollyL

Oh Welki, I agree with your decision. I have seen kids spoon fed all the way through college with absolutely no appreciation for that and no idea of how to manage their finances later.

9:13 pm

lbdawger

add a consonant on the ao5

9:13 pm

welki

he'll be better for it, pickles

9:14 pm

welki

some parents cover their children's education expenses and it works out for them, too - personal choice and, in some cases, simply a matter of opportunity

9:14 pm

Jindigo

thanks Ibd

9:15 pm

welki

(and yes, i've seen those kids too, molly - hopefully they're the minority, but that sense of entitlement starts waaaaaaaay before college)

9:15 pm

Picklesny

I always say that poverty made me a better parent. if I had more money, i would have ruined the kid. My first impulse is to give.

9:15 pm

welki

which, up here in the great white north, they call 'university'

9:16 pm

Picklesny

un iversity sounds more expensive than college

9:16 pm

welki

took me years to understand that university lingo thing up here

9:16 pm

MollyL

Pickles, not having a lot in the way of financial things to give makes you focus on giving the more important things.

9:16 pm

welki

nah - up here, post secondary education is cheap (in spite of the whining to the contrary), compared to the states

9:17 pm

crosshair

university aka= 60 grand of debt to start off that fresh now post school life lol..

9:17 pm

Picklesny

yeah, Matt's got oodles of love!

9:17 pm

welki

the easy explanation is that university will end up with a bachelor's degree and that college will give you some sort of diploma

9:17 pm

crosshair

took my brother 10 years to pay his off

9:18 pm

Minveryork

ao6/18 word is ao5/10 word plus perpendicular letter

9:18 pm

welki

but he, like aaron tippin, can say, he 'got it honest'

9:18 pm

Minveryork

I am done! I have fireworks! an7/28 was my last word

9:18 pm

welki

wtg min :)

9:19 pm

crosshair

ended up being worthless any way..he stayed home and watched the kids..her nursing degree was what was useful in the end

9:19 pm

Minveryork

I will be here off & on to help out with clues if needed

9:21 pm

Jindigo

Min - i could use a couple DI 6/24 and LA6/18

9:21 pm

welki

my oldest started in an accelerated med school program - then switched majors to music education. graduated and decided she wanted to be a paramedic - went to school (because i used to be an emt back east, she received a 60% scholarship) - she JUST finished her nursing degree and is starting her new job tomorrow

9:21 pm

crosshair

very good indeed! anything in medical is golden right now

9:21 pm

MollyL

I'm not a big believer that college/university degrees are worth what they used to be.

9:22 pm

welki

she's an amazing kid, crossy (they all are) - wouldn't be surprised if, in a couple of years, she ended up back in med school.

9:22 pm

MollyL

Congratulations to your daughter Welki. You must be very proud.

9:22 pm

crosshair

i see degrees all the time in app at my station,too many thought 5 years of school 50 grand and a sheepskin on the wall would equal a 6 figure job...not anymore

9:23 pm

welki

my thoughts are a little different, molly - i think any education is worthwhile, but i don't think that everyone needs to have a university degree in order to be successful

9:23 pm

crosshair

you should be a proud momma welki:)

9:23 pm

welki

<-- is proud of all her broodlets

9:24 pm

Minveryork

di 6/24 is di plus vowel plus at 4/5 word and la6/18 is la plus not a square but a ****ngle Jindigo.

9:25 pm

Jindigo

Thank you Min!

9:25 pm

MollyL

I agree Welki, education is worthwhile. But many times people go through the motions and just figure that piece of paper will get them somewhere. And it ends up a huge waste, kind of like what Cross said below.

9:25 pm

crosshair

i see so many angry young adults with expensive degrees;(

9:26 pm

welki

our second oldest, the only boy, is also an over-achiever - masters degrees in math and physics and almost ready to argue his doctoral thesis in (i think) astrophysics

9:26 pm

Minveryork

yw Jindigo

9:27 pm

crosshair

as a matter of fact,in many case,a degree is a handicap as i will not have anyone hired that i take time to train,that is only using my place as a stop gap till the next6 thing comes along..i get too tired to train a new body every 3 months

9:27 pm

crosshair

wow welki!

9:27 pm

crosshair

smart boy indeed!

9:28 pm

welki

ohh, i think you misunderstand - i'm not saying that everyone who has a degree uses it to its advantage, but that education, in general, is rarely a waste

9:29 pm

welki

the rest of them are more 'normal' - moms, HR administrator, office worker

9:29 pm

welki

don't know where the normal came from - certainly not me :)

9:30 pm

welki

(and come on, someone - comment on my new icon! i almost fell off my chair when i saw it!)

9:30 pm

MollyL

Hmm, I guess I'm just "normal" then.

9:30 pm

Jindigo

TO 6/21 please?

9:30 pm

crosshair

MMMM RABBIT PANCAKES!

9:30 pm

welki

oh i'm normal in those ways too - just not 'normal' - as in nutso

9:31 pm

welki

thank you, crossy

9:47 pm

mab

oh. be right over to help, torgone.

9:47 pm

9:48 pm

torgone

Because it's close, and I'm poor, we have done it bit by bit over the last two weeks ..

9:49 pm

mab

are you done?

9:49 pm

jmcnrick

that has its pluses and minuses the biggest minus is the relentlessness of the process

9:49 pm

lbdawger

when do you expect to be fully moved in?

9:50 pm

torgone

I'm all moved in now .. Just have some clean-up to do at the old place ..

9:52 pm

mab

i am famously weak and i hate lifting.

9:52 pm

torgone

Yes, my stemware should be arriving shortly ..

9:53 pm

jmcnrick

*hopes the stemware arrives on time*

9:54 pm

torgone

Yeah, and I'm getting rather old to be carting all this crap all over the place ..

9:54 pm

mab

my cousin is a weight lifter and loves to lift things, so when I move... problem is I haven't actually seen him in over 25 years. he promises to come however

9:55 pm

jmcnrick

maybe you will have to move just to see him!

9:55 pm

mab

oh pooh. you're not so old.

9:55 pm

jmcnrick

tell him you need to move some furniture in the apartment around

9:55 pm

mab

he lives in minnesota.

9:56 pm

torgone

Next time I move, I'll get some weightlifters .. Or else they'll be dragging my ass to the home, at which point I won't care ..

9:56 pm

mab

with the remnants of my family

9:56 pm

jmcnrick

next time i move they will be dragging my ass to the home

9:56 pm

mab

mine three

9:57 pm

9:58 pm

mab

i think it would be nice to have all one's friends in the same home.

9:59 pm

jmcnrick

well if i could have my laptop all the time i might could stand it--but i needs my privacy

10:00 pm

mab

oh I'm not going yet. I'm thinking I should try a husband one more time.

10:00 pm

jmcnrick

:-) hopes springs eternal

10:01 pm

mab

men my age seem so old...

10:01 pm

torgone

Yeah, I might try living with a woman again ..

10:02 pm

mab

10:04 pm

kje

10:05 pm

kje

lol jmc

10:05 pm

mab

yikes

10:05 pm

kje

not that either

10:06 pm

kje

but I do know some that wear hawaiian shirts all the time, I find that odd

10:06 pm

jmcnrick

maybe that is a DC thing

10:06 pm

jmcnrick

i like my hawaiian shirt and my guyberras

10:06 pm

kje

what is a guyberra

10:07 pm

mab

younger men are attracted to me. lots younger. I have no idea why.

10:07 pm

jmcnrick

a misspelled mexican shirt

10:07 pm

jmcnrick

go for it mab

10:07 pm

kje

10:08 pm

jmcnrick

i wish

10:08 pm

kje

10:09 pm

torgone

No one is attracted to me ..

10:09 pm

mab

10:09 pm

jmcnrick

torgie how can you say that?

10:09 pm

kje

wasn't there another babbler who was?

10:10 pm

mab

10:10 pm

jmcnrick

if you were 2900 miles closer i would be looking you up

10:10 pm

kje

lol jmc

10:10 pm

mab

i think you look a bit sever and forbidding - maybe smile more

10:11 pm

jmcnrick

there. . . the truth is out!

10:11 pm

torgone

But then you would see me up close, and then you would not be attracted to me ..

10:11 pm

mab

oh pooh

10:11 pm

jmcnrick

:p

10:11 pm

kje

i think he looks like a bubble gum head

10:11 pm

kje

maybe use more colorful gumballs

10:12 pm

mab

just stay well-polished

10:12 pm

jmcnrick

really, women go crazy for whimsical men. show your whimsy.

10:13 pm

mab

night jmc

10:13 pm

jmcnrick

thanks anyway

10:13 pm

jmcnrick

*poof*

10:13 pm

kje

wondering how you show whimsy as a man...

10:14 pm

mab

by making wry observations

10:15 pm

kje

women go for men that are clearly into them... can't tell you how many girlfriends have married guys they didn't think they were interested in initially b/c the guy stuck it out and was so clearly committed and in love (in a non stalker way of course) - can't help but like someone who sees you that way

10:15 pm

kje

guys who don't know what they want or are wishy-washy are not attractive

10:17 pm

mab

yes, i think you've put your finger on it.

10:18 pm

torgone

I'm not wishy-washy, I just don't have a towering ego ..

10:18 pm

mab

Toooorgoooon! Are you taking notes?

10:18 pm

mab

sorry to yell in your ear

10:19 pm

mab

you have to fake it then. if you live it, you may become it.

10:20 pm

mab

your self-esteem really needs some work, tor.

10:21 pm

torgone

I guess I need to be fake then .. I've met two Babble ladies IRL and not generated much interest ..

10:22 pm

mab

well, you know the pictures of you and your kids? I think that makes you very appealing.

10:23 pm

mab

if you can show that side of torgone, which I suspect you don't, it could be helpful.

10:23 pm

mab

warm, witty, etc.

10:25 pm

torgone

Well, I do try, but I'm just so far removed from the dating process (which I never did well at anyway) that I just don't do well in those situations ..

10:26 pm

mab

it's hard for men. harder than for women, don't know why.

10:27 pm

mab

the man feels more pressure, I think. doesn't help.

10:28 pm

torgone

It's tough to know what the expectations are ..

10:29 pm

torgone

And when you already know you don't meet a lot of the standard expectations ..

10:30 pm

mab

it's trite, but relax. I can't imagine what expectations you think you should live up to and dont.

10:32 pm

mab

you need to work on confidence, I think. I'm positive you have more pluses than minuses.

10:34 pm

mab

therapy, if you don't mind my saying so, wouldn't hurt.

10:35 pm

mab

rawn

10:35 pm

mab

oops

10:35 pm

kje

sorry, stepped away for a sec

10:36 pm

kje

10:36 pm

torgone

Thank you for the kind words, mab

10:37 pm

mab

oddly enough, I feel like i've known you for a long time.

10:37 pm

torgone

Thanks K! I had a lovely time with you ..

10:38 pm

kje

you just have to stick yourself out there tor... maybe do a dating service there in San Diego where you can meet online, and feel comfortable, and not have to approach someone blindly like at a bar or something

10:38 pm

mab

kje, your dna looks like the june taylor dancers.

10:38 pm

mab

oh yes. bars are horrid.

10:38 pm

kje

ummmm.... ok....lol... I have no idea what that is!

10:38 pm

kje

but I will google it

10:40 pm

kje

ah.... yes, like in the movies, didn't know they had a name

10:42 pm

mab

i think they used to be on the jackie gleason show.

10:43 pm

torgone

Yeah, that's the ticket. I just need to get out there more and try to find someone somewhat like me ..

10:44 pm

mab

yes indeed

10:46 pm

kje

ok, past my bedtime, gn all

10:47 pm

uusue2

I'll bet there is, torgone! Just be yourself...

11:11 pm

uusue2

fireworks!

11:13 pm

mab

hurray sue! there is tor. the odds are ridiculously in your favor. do be yourself but work on not looking like you're about to bite someone.

11:18 pm

uusue2

g'night, all - see you tomorrow!

11:18 pm

jillibus

hello all -- just finished

11:19 pm

jillibus

I've been reading back in the chog -- tor -- look for someone who completes you

11:22 pm

mab

hi jilli, welcome to therapy general

11:22 pm

jillibus

hi mab -- pretty bird

11:23 pm

mab

your susie cat is gorgeous

11:24 pm

mab

it's funny how one misses each pet for different reasons.

11:24 pm

jillibus

she was, and so sweet and good -- never touched a bird and there were lots around here -- she just liked to sit on a lounge chair and watch them at the feeders

11:25 pm

mab

i mean, people tend to think cats are interchangeable, but they aren't at all. aw, sweet.

11:25 pm

jillibus

Cats are VERY individual

11:26 pm

mab

i still get teary about cats I had 30 years ago.

11:26 pm

jillibus

Just going to check email etc and change icons -- back for the flip. I guess torgone is gone.

11:27 pm

jillibus

Me too -- and about all the Great Danes I loved. Sigh.

11:42 pm

vanillaslice

Hi Jill, wish we could say the same about cats in our neighbourhood, we lost another four birds last week and have had to resort to extra protection for the others but pity the wild birds they are being decimated

11:46 pm

vanillaslice

cats are were introduced here and like foxes, rabbits, toads, rats, camels, etc and all kinds of plants, its been a disaster

11:49 pm

ursh

funny how cats are different - i have 3 - two older ones dont bother to hunt - younger one seems to not have enough "killer" in him - he eyes birds but has never caught one - then again I do shout at him if I catch him looking at birds

11:49 pm

cosdem

my cat absolutely loves to cuddle... every night he likes to sleep on my chest and bury his head in my neck. Considering he's overweight it's uncomfortable but adorable.

11:50 pm

vanillaslice

I supppose people are the worst introduced species

11:50 pm

cosdem

lol basically

11:51 pm

ursh

oh absolutely vanilla

11:51 pm

vanillaslice

not willing to get out yet though

11:51 pm

flosey

especially the ones who, in their great wisdom, brought MORE rabbits to this small island - to chew up the local gardens

11:52 pm

flosey

very hard to keep rabbits out of a garden - unlike deer

11:53 pm

ursh

we have lovely flowering tibouchina trees here in Dbn brought in from South America I think and they suck up and store water - now in Africa there is not enough water to do that so a lot have been chopped down - again some person brought them here thinking they were pretty which they are but best left in S American rain forests

11:54 pm

vanillaslice

we used to live on rabbit when we first came out in the 50's, so now can't stand them, they were here in their millions till they statrted poisoning them but they are making a return now

11:55 pm

flosey

well, fortunately, we have a friend who is very happy to receive one, now and then

11:55 pm

ursh

never tried rabbit - keep thinking "bunny"

11:56 pm

flosey

I can't imagine eating them - same reason I guess ursh

11:56 pm

vanillaslice

used to love a good rabbit stew...yuk

11:56 pm

jillibus

The neighbourhood cat who bit me brought a dead baby rabbit to my door as a "forgive me" present.

11:57 pm

flosey

son was horrified when he had dinner at girlfriend's home and rabbit was served - fortunately, there was a choice

11:58 pm

vanillaslice

shant say what my family ate duringt he war in Europe

11:58 pm

flosey

they're still together, about 25 or so years later

11:58 pm

jillibus

I made a blah "roast beef" Meal on Wheels delicious today by using Bisto brown sauce thinned with Barefoot Zinfandel.

11:58 pm

jillibus

That might work with rabbit stew?

11:58 pm

vanillaslice

nice jill

11:59 pm

flosey

yes, good for you jilli

11:59 pm

vanillaslice

though I dread the time I'll have to make use of the good Meals on Wheels service

11:59 pm

jillibus

The beef was so overdone it was curly

12:00 am

flosey

oh, yuk
