jillibus
What browser are you using, fran? Although I prefer Firefox, Babble defaults to IE, much to my regret. How can I change that?
12:48 am
FranMag
i'm using Safari, jIlli. you have to change your user settings to make firefox your default browser.
12:49 am
FranMag
and i wish i remembered how to do it on a PC
12:50 am
cosdem
i have the same problem jill! its annoying.
12:50 am
jillibus

12:50 am

12:51 am
FranMag

12:51 am
jillibus
me too, cos
12:51 am
jillibus
Babble Expert, fran -- puts everything on one page plus other goodies. Did you leave before it arrived?

I don't think so, west -- had our Happy Hour here tonight and this time did it all myself -- it was fun. Patrick and dorothy are back from Tenerife but Dorothy didn't come -- has a streaming cold and didn't want to give it to me.

Happy Hour all by yourself sounds like a lot..but glad you enjoyed it
1:02 am

1:02 am
jillibus
Not a big deal, west -- but I do tire sooner than I used to these days. Still healing.
1:04 am

Nice thought, west, but they are busy -- Pat is working full time on the next book - did so in Tenerife too.

thanks fran!
1:06 am
MPittore
Yes ru....time is so important to us...and the cruise although the ship had troubles, cancelled ports and excursions...many people complained..Royal Caribbean refunded full fare....but we had a wonderful time...if only people would realize that blips in the plans are only small stuff in perspective to dealing with terminal cancer...who cares about a change in a cruise at least we are alive! The big C changes your life forever and makes you realize what really is important! There is always hope, we believe in miracles and the wonders of science!
1:07 am
jillibus
I have an ar 5 like that, but not an ar6

so sorry to hear that Ruby
5:01 am
rubyfoo
Please pray for him!
5:01 am
bojazz
hi ruby - sorry for your distress
5:02 am
rubyfoo
I've called the police, gendarmes, spa, all the neighbors, lefts my number everywhere
5:02 am
vanillaslice
does she tend to wander ruby?
5:02 am
rubyfoo
this is the first time in his 8 years that he's been off the property
5:02 am
rubyfoo
he must have dug under the garden fence
5:03 am
vanillaslice
thats strange so hope for you that he's found
5:03 am
Glantarell
he's probably spending happy time with a female feline
5:03 am
rubyfoo
he doesn't know about cars and there is a lot of traffic on these small roads, so I fear the worst
5:05 am
rubyfoo
sorry -- obviously to crazy to play. Thought I could relax, won't o that again
5:06 am
City 17 dweller
Don't worry, ruby. I'm sorry to hear about Max. I hope he's found quickly and not any the worse for his adventures.
5:09 am
City 17 dweller
(I meant, don't worry about putting a few words in the chog - telling you not to worry about Max would be idiotic).
5:16 am

Good early morning to everyone, guys. Does anyone have the clue list?
5:19 am
City 17 dweller
I think there's one in hootowl's profile, HF.
5:21 am
HavingFun
Thank you so much. Found it. How do you people come across those things. Is there an online generator somewhere that does it or something?
5:24 am
rubyfoo
I don't know what else to do
5:24 am
City 17 dweller
How close is your nearest vet's office? Have you called them, Ruby? Someone might think to take him there, since he's obviously not a stray.
5:25 am
City 17 dweller
HF ... I dunno, I haven't even finished a grid for ages, myself.
5:25 am
rubyfoo
I've called the vete and the "pet emergency" number
5:30 am
City 17 dweller
I don't have a dog, so I'm not sure where they're likely to bee-line for, once away from their usual territory. Do any of your neighbours have female dogs that aren't 'fixed'?
5:31 am
rubyfoo
maxis very strange, autistic (yes, really, and on prozac), he's not neutered and there are no females around
5:31 am
rubyfoo
he is very quiet and sweet and seemed to have no interest in ever going off the property
5:33 am
City 17 dweller
He's very probably just followed his nose to something exciting. Hopefully, he'll find his way back without incident, or someone will find *him* and get him to a vet/shelter, where they'll know you're looking for him.
5:36 am
City 17 dweller
Do you have another dog? If that one needs walking, perhaps walking your usual route would be an idea? *is sorry for not having more helpful suggestions*
5:39 am
rubyfoo
THAT WAS WHAT i DID FIRST THING THIS MORNING; i TOOK rUBY ON HER USUAL WALK, seeing various neighbors along the way
5:40 am
rubyfoo
this is just too horrible, especially considering my husband's fragile state! Max was his dog at least much much as mine
5:41 am
City 17 dweller
If you've alerted anyone who might recognise him, and anyone to whom he might be taken, the only other thing I can think of is a flyer in the nearest post office - or busy local shop - with a picture.
5:42 am
rubyfoo
our handyman is, as we speak, making posters
5:42 am
rubyfoo
I've notified as many people as I could and now just sitting by the phone
5:43 am
City 17 dweller
:::hugs::: he's so obviously a well cared for dog that anyone who sees him will probably think to look for a collar ... does he have an information tag?
5:44 am
rubyfoo
no coller, no tag. Since he's never been off th property, we were afraid he'd get caught in a shrub, wearing a collar
5:44 am
rubyfoo
he has a tattoo, but that was done in Canada and I have no idea what info it holds
5:44 am
City 17 dweller
Does he have an identity chip?
5:44 am
rubyfoo
He is very rare, though, nobody here has ever seen a black chow
5:45 am
ivesy3
has anyone talked to mrp.. hope all is ok with her
5:46 am
City 17 dweller
I doubt he'll go unnoticed for long. I know the roads are a worry, but he's more likely to be off in some wooded area chasing squirrels.
5:46 am
rubyfoo
I hope you're right, city, but I can't quite picture him chasing anything lol (ruefully)
5:58 am
City 17 dweller
Well, I hope you get Max back quickly and unhurt. I have to go, but I'll be back later and will check the chog, and I really hope there'll be good news! :::hugs::: good luck, Ruby.
6:00 am
MollyL
(((Ruby))) I just lit a candle and said a prayer for Max's safe return.
6:17 am

Okay, just didn't want to appear as though I was typing random words into the chat log. : )
7:04 am
hurshy
people often do type random words in the chat log but one kinda gets to know people and i thought in your case it was more likely the mic.

i was talking with annie last week about vegetable cream cheese - and no matter how i try, there's an ingredient in it that i can't seem to find in order to make it taste like it came from a bagel store
9:07 am
Scrabbler
Was the bunny hopping around? Are the ears laid back or standing up? The latter means it is weaned and on its own.
9:07 am
Scrabbler
Hi Nono
9:07 am
welki
i can get the texture just right - but there's one flavor missing
9:08 am
NonoNanette
Morning Scrabs, a lovely sunny day so far
9:08 am

Standing up, but he's so tiny yet. Just adorable.
9:08 am
72 Temple Owl

9:08 am

welki, scallions, carrots and green pepper are the ingredients they use, I think
9:08 am

Sunny and the big winds continue. Power outages exist north of Buffalo.
9:09 am

9:09 am
Scrabbler
Baby bunnies are unbelievably cute. They fit in your hand and you just want to smooch them up.
9:09 am
welki
yes - and there's something else, maybe in the cream cheese, that's missing (and i've had some with cucumber in it, too)
9:09 am
72 Temple Owl
annie do you think there is garlic in it as well?
9:09 am
Scrabbler
mklein, do you have the bunny now?
9:09 am
mklein
Thats for sure.
9:10 am
Anniebrook
I never tasted veggie cc with the taste of garlic
9:10 am
mklein
Yes. I can't turn him loose in my yard - I have dogs
9:10 am

9:11 am
Scrabbler
Baby bunnies, well all bunnies, are prey animals.

Is there a wildlife rehab person or place near you, mklein?

Dorens
levi - 2 /12 and honestly will be a gifted musician. you should see him on drums, but harmonica is his favorite right now
9:50 am

9:51 am
Dorens
i'm sitting on couch snuggling with phoebe and she's reading her new story book creation, the strawberry shortcake unicorns.... he comes in carrying three harmonicas and says, I'm tired of my sister, and sits down and starts playing
9:51 am
kje
well, honest little guy, isn't he - lol
9:51 am
Dorens
scrab- did i tell you about jeremy and johns hopkins? he and liz are there this weekend being recruited... they want to steal him and are apparently offering a sweet deal
9:51 am
Scrabbler
My brain is easily overstimulated with noise and activity, Doren, so I would struggle.
9:52 am
Dorens
i understand that -- something different when it is him though. in school it would drive me crazy, but he is my love
9:52 am
Scrabbler
I saw that earlier, Doren. He should talk with kje--she trained there.
9:52 am
Dorens
he had been offered scholarship there for med school, but did harvard instead
9:52 am
kje
applying for residency?
9:53 am
Scrabbler
Way bigger, kje.
9:53 am
Dorens

10:00 am
Scrabbler
Ruru, I think the Yosemite/Sequoia trip will happen in June. My sister will know vacation days next week.

10:00 am
car.eeyore
Ruby...do all of your neighbors know that you are looking for him?
10:00 am
rururocks

Hope it wasn't worry that was keeping you awake. Night worries are so annoying because the issues/problems just keep rattling around in circles with no progress. (At least for me...)

it was my son - he's back with the crazy abusive girlfriend, and is over at her place now
12:07 pm

Oh no! It's so hard when you can see exactly what is going on, but the person involved is too close to the situation for perspective.

He's like an addict when it comes to her Sue and he's going to have to hit his own bottom.
12:10 pm

One of my colleagues teaches a ourse on domestic violence, and she says that often people in abusive relationships have to play out in several rounds. It's a very common and natural part of the dynamic, and she says that tsupporters of people in these relationships should understand this and know that it is a part of being able to see the relationship for what it is and ultimately get out and get on with their lives.
12:10 pm
uusue2
((((ivesy)))) how is your son doing?
12:10 pm
uusue2
but she almost killed him in the last round, jan; what is it going to take???
12:11 pm
MollyL
Good advice Jan, sometimes hard to follow.
12:11 pm

doing quite well at the moment. they are putting him on suboxone, it curbs the urge to use opiates. one drug for another, but his is medically supervised ty

a friend of mine has 3 children all 20 to 26 ALL of them moved back home,one of the GF,S pregnat.my friend sat down one day with his wife and looked at the chaos,saw they were never going to move out and adding to the population as fast as you can say natural child birth,so he went to the oldest son and his pregnant gf and sold them the house for 1 dollar and my friend and his wife moved out!
12:11 pm

ah, that is good to hear, ivesy

well, I can't give my son this house, the bank is going to take it, but I may give him my car if I can afford to buy a new one (maybe by the end of the year)
12:12 pm
uusue2
see you later, pickles!
12:13 pm
ivesy3
evenutally your son will see the light. .it may take awhile and all you can do is be there for him, as im sure u are. one thing i found out. he will do opposite of what i suggest
12:13 pm
jan
Absolutely true, Molly. My sister was in a very abusive relationship years ago, was hospitalized with serious injuries twice, and still couldn't get out of it at that time. She finally did, though. Ironically, he was killed some years later by police when he tried to run away from a shoplift he was committing. Strange that in the end, he was the victim of undeserved violence.
12:13 pm
uusue2
I'm working on a letter to him - telling him that i will keep paying his tuition as long as he's in school, but won't support his relationship
12:14 pm
ivesy3
pretty much what i did with my son. i will buy u food, etc. but no cash exchanges hands.cant take the chance that he will use it to buy drugs
12:15 pm
jan
Quite right, too, Sue. Supporting him emptionally doesn't mean approving of his choices, or supporting him financially in making them.
12:16 pm
doseffing
... perhaps "you can't support the relationship because it's hurting you too much" ... ... perhaps it's less threatening and it presents a thought that there are other people being hurt besides him ... only a suggestion
12:16 pm
uusue2
same here on the cash - I won't buy cigarettes or alcohol, so I am putting money on his "huskie bucks" - kind of a student debit card that the university, and some of the local restaurants, will take - so he can get a burger in the middle of the day if he needs it
12:16 pm
jan
I'm not sure, but isn't there some kind of tax brak in the US for tuition payments? You should probably make them directly to the school and see if you are eligible for that.
12:17 pm
uusue2
I already do pay the tuition directly to the school, but make too much for the tax break (since I am single)
12:18 pm
jan
Too bad, then. I was hoping that our daughter would go to a school where there was a tuition exchange program with my uni, but no such luck.
12:18 pm
uusue2
and thanks for the suggestion, dos
12:18 pm

canada has(had) a 30% tuition break for students,but that is being tossed this year,as well as funded daycare and the retirement is going up to 67 and the old age pensions are going to be income oriented.no more millionare snowbirds collecting canada and old age pension
12:18 pm
MollyL
Sue, I hate to break this to you, but kids use those "school dollars" to pay for other people's food and get cash from them. My boss found out this was how her daughter was funding a drug problem.
12:19 pm
uusue2
ah, he is going to the university where I teach so he gets a 50% discount on tuition, although the state legislature is talking about repealing it
12:19 pm
ivesy3
thats why i dont get jason food cards or any kind he can get cash for. has broken my trust too many times.
12:19 pm
jan
So sorry to see that Canada is going down the 'cut all the social services and benefits' road that the US has gone down.
12:20 pm
doseffing
... is that still available after you retire? Might that cause him a problem?
12:20 pm
crosshair
ahh was wondering why no food cards,so you just get food for him direct so he does not swop the cards out
12:20 pm
uusue2
and I'm sure he can find ways around things, molly; I'm not trying to control all his spending, just don't want to pay for the relationship (and I'm sure he could buy her food but I'm not talking about a lot of money on this card, maybe enough so he can go to McDonald's 3-4 times a week)
12:20 pm
ivesy3
my son gets , are u ready for this? $8 a month cash from soc. serv. thats to buy any non food item , tp, soap shampoo etc..
12:21 pm
ivesy3
yes crossy. i learned the hard way. gave him money for round trip bus ticket.. turns out he bought one way, used the other money for drugs. now i get the ticket
12:21 pm
crosshair
8 dollars?
12:21 pm
jan
That's crazy, ivesy, it's no wonder that folks in need turn to crime to support basic living necessities.
12:22 pm
uusue2
and dos, as long as the law doesn't change, the 50% tuition break will still be available after I retire - only difference is that he can only use it at NIU and not at any of the other 11 state universities (but he wouldn't want to go to any of them anyway)
12:22 pm
ivesy3
yep 8 dollars.. amazing .. other people get hundreds depending on how many kids they have. they walk around with expensive cell phones, manicures..
12:23 pm

... just checking ... when my wife got laid off she continued to get the employee discount ... when I got laid off from the same place, I didn't ... just checking to make sure

We have a colleague whose grown son has Tourrette's Syndrome and they've cut him off disability saying he ought to be able to support himself. Who would hire a 19 year old who frequently and uncontrollably bursts out in profanity and obscenities? Just crazy...

Wait, wait, 8 dollars? What disability is he claiming for?

this is thru soc services molly. they pay part of his rent, some food stamps and thats it. the $8 is on a debit card
12:25 pm

but he will be trying to get disablity pension thru the vets.. then he can drop all the soc services

Actually, these days everyone does have to twork. The old "welfare" sytem is dead and gone. I have a student who had a very premature baby and needed welfare assistance. They cut her off after 15 months and are saying that she needs to quit school and get a McJob instead. So short sighted.

Good point...
12:53 pm

maybe you can use it as weed killer or something...

Or fruit fly bait. If you put a little wine in a glass and top the glass with a plastic funnel, fruit flies fly in and then drown in the wine. Of course, we're months way from fruit fly season, and what I have would be more than a lifetime supply.

I know that inexpensive red wine makes a good cooking wine, at least in small amounts, because the grapiness and sweetness can balance the natural acidity in things like tomato sauce, and the alcohol brings out the flavor of compounds that are alcohol soluble instead of water or fat soluble. But I think there are limits--you can't use it for recipes like coq au vin calling for a lot of wine, and the wine can't have any really weird or off flavors.

Just checking in and hoping for good news about Ruby's Max. Anyone heard anything?
2:16 pm
uusue2
no - I heard he was poorly a few days ago but nothing since then - what's up?
2:19 pm
MollyL
He went missing last night.
2:19 pm
MollyL
Her dog, not her husband.
2:24 pm
uusue2
ah, the dog! (somehow I thought her dog was named Ruby, but perhaps that was an earlier dog). Oh, dear, I do hope he shows up. (And now I don't remember her husband's name, although I'm sure I have it in email somewhere).
2:26 pm
MollyL
Her husband's name is Bert.
2:37 pm
uusue2
ah. Now I remember :-)
2:38 pm
ladycece920
Ruby has 2 dogs, Ruby and Max. Ruby was one that was sick.
2:39 pm
uusue2
<--- needs to make a wall chart of babbler's names, including the names of their partners, pets, and children. Also where they live.
2:42 pm
MollyL
Maybe not Sue. Could be stalkerish. : P
2:48 pm
Soodle
Oh dear, which of RubyFoo's dogs has gone missing?
2:48 pm
uusue2
Well, I wouldn't exactly publish it or anything; it would be for my own reference, so I don't put my foot in my mouth too often (sort of like an external hard drive for my brain - its internal memory seems to be not doing so well lately)
2:49 pm
lawdoggy1
Anyone know what has happened to lickety?
2:49 pm
uusue2
Max, soodle
2:50 pm
Deeha
Thinking about our American babbler friends especiallythose in the hurricane areas.
2:51 pm
uusue2
lickety is sometimes available, but not every day, lawdoggy - real life has gotten complicated for them
2:51 pm
lawdoggy1
sorry to hear that. I hope in the end it will work out for them.
2:52 pm
uusue2
likewise! we are all pulling for them...
2:55 pm
Soodle
Indeed... my thoughts and prayers are with the Babblers affected by terrible weather events.
2:56 pm

I have got one not sure if it the one you need - con diment
3:17 pm
ivesy3
thats the one ty!
3:25 pm
Deeha
hola kje how are things?
3:28 pm
Deeha
Have to say kucky you - we hjave had the driest winter in dont kn ow when in the South east here, reservoirs are only 40% full and they are valre4ady forecasting drought conditions in the summer - and that is without all the Olympic visitors coming over here and bathing!!!
3:29 pm
Deeha
I think they ought to bath before they leave home!!
3:29 pm
kje
there is a drought here also, it is just that all the rain has decided to fall today, so currently very wet
3:30 pm
Deeha
Have to admit they are forecasting heavy rain tomorrow but we will need it for about 4 weeks
3:30 pm
lynxxx
You can have some of ours if you like...flooding over here. We'll tell our athletes to BYO
3:31 pm
lynxxx
What official restrictions are you on Deeha?
3:32 pm
Deeha
er - do Austrelia have athletes?Oh yes they are the ones that come over and nick ou medals!!
3:33 pm
Deeha
Nothing so far just the threat but 'they' always like to frighten us!!
3:34 pm
lynxxx
We have just come off most of our restrictions after about 3 years so know what it is like...our dams were down to 25/26%...now 2 years of summer flooding
3:35 pm
Deeha
Actually every other country in the world comes over and pinches our medals!!
3:35 pm
lynxxx
oh well - at least you will get the tourists so very good for your economy
3:35 pm
MollyL
Not getting the condiment. Have the word, don't get the clue. Maybe it's an international thing.
3:36 pm
lynxxx
Salt & Pe**** Molly
3:36 pm
Deeha
Wowlynxx- mind you places like Australia save any water they get - we dont and then when we have a couple of dry weeks we start bleating about drought
3:36 pm
MollyL
Oh, okay. I think of that as a seasoning, not a condiment. My bad.
3:37 pm
Deeha
And so little money has been put back by water comnpanies millions of gallons a day are just leaking out of old pipes
3:38 pm
lynxxx
Yeah, infrastructure costs are huge too...expect an increase in your water costs. Our have risen dramatically as before the drought broke they decided to build a huge desalination plant
3:40 pm
lynxxx
(which will be a good backup - just seems obsolete requirement now that we are being blessed with (too) much rain)
3:40 pm
kje
that seems like one of those damned if you do and damned if you don't situations, though
3:41 pm
lynxxx
Speaking of which - not drizzling at the moment so might get our walk in ...BBL
3:49 pm
uusue2
if you put an -ic on the end it has to do with debating, kje
3:49 pm
uusue2

3:50 pm
uusue2

3:53 pm

another plural ... have a blindspot on those this evening
10:47 pm
uusue2
it's those two r's that have been throwing me off, maggie
10:47 pm
FranMag
it's because of the two Rs, the word can go either direction!
10:47 pm
lilliann
ahh, i'm glad sue
10:48 pm

rule of thumb is to always try the plural whether there's an S in the grid or not! ;-)

that's some incredible lung power, lill! lol
10:50 pm

no wonder i can't sleep when i lie next to him...the bed even vibrates!!! lol
10:50 pm
FranMag
that's exactly what a babblet is, maggie! a word that only makes sense in babble. lol
10:50 pm
dcseain
he should schedule a sleep study.
10:51 pm
lilliann
hi dc...what's a cpap?
10:51 pm
uusue2
that would definitely be a babblet, maggie - not a word that you would encounter outside of the grid :-)
10:51 pm
lilliann
he'sjust been tested for sleep apnea, and he's ok
10:51 pm
dcseain
a cpap is a machine that provides constant pressure to keep the air passages open. Snoring is a sign of sleep apnea, which is a silent killer.
10:52 pm
dcseain
it makes a soft humming that's soothing when running, and comes in both regular models and ones that provide humid air.

Continuous_positive_airway_pressure
10:53 pm
lilliann
well,as he's been signed off from the hospital he won't get any machine
10:53 pm
dcseain
http://tinyurl.com/ytlm8p
is the wikipedia article about them.
10:53 pm
lilliann
i'll just knock him out with a rolling pin!! :)
10:53 pm
dcseain
was he flat or inclined when sleeping in hospital? Inclining the upper body 30 - 45 degrees can reduce snoring and sleep apnea
10:54 pm
lilliann
thanks dc, will look into it, as it does worry me
10:54 pm
uusue2
or if you poke him and get him to roll over on his side - that often works
10:54 pm
dcseain
yes, that's true also, good advice uusue
10:55 pm
FranMag
i heard she just kicks him completely off the bed, sue! ;-)
10:56 pm
dcseain
LOL fran
10:56 pm
uusue2
that would work too, fran :-)
10:56 pm
lilliann
he wasn't in hospital. he went in to the day centre and they glued the thing on his finger and put all the tubes on and the machine and sent him home for the night and then he had to go back the next morning with the machine so they could look at the results
10:56 pm
FranMag
CJ, are you still here? need clues?
10:57 pm
dcseain
Ah, yeah, sleep study really is called for then, though i've no clue how easy it is to get one through the NHS
10:57 pm
lilliann
kick him off the bed...i would love to but i'm 5ft2 and slimish and he is 6ft and built like a brick sh** house!!
10:58 pm
lilliann
he sleeps with 3 pillows dc, so he is always inclined
10:58 pm

11:01 pm
uusue2
what I've found with Frank is that if I poke him it wakes him up a little and then he stops snoring for a bit - he's not a really bad snorer, though
11:01 pm
CiociaJudy
Thx Lil. Did you finish, Lil?
11:02 pm
lilliann
i poke him and then he stops and then 10 seconds later he starts again!!
11:02 pm
uusue2
