12:32 am

rururocks

I wouldn't violate his private email.. no way

12:33 am

To tell him that? How's that a violation?

12:33 am

Hi, Neil, sounds as if I missed something. 'sappnin?

I enjoy reading your stuff and leave it at that

[you and your puns]

12:34 am

no shit.. if he thinks your father has a warped se5 of humor

12:34 am

negativeneil

Uhhh, you don't know our dad. :P lol

12:34 am

12:35 am

rururocks

no.. not possible

12:35 am

negativeneil

Hi melonhead. :)

12:35 am

party went well; friend delivered a premie, but he's 6 pounds... hopefuly he'll grow fast and come home soon; other friend's back surg went well and they hope he'll come home tomorrow nite... but ...

1:17 am

sammysmom

oops

1:18 am

VolleymomDee

hubby's knee - bone on bone... cortisone shot helped for now, but eventually he is going to need a knee replacement in his right knee

1:18 am

VolleymomDee

I'll take a list of s's and a's rose :)

1:18 am

dart001

ouch

1:18 am

VolleymomDee

it's no wonder he has been hurting so much.

1:19 am

VolleymomDee

They said he can have cortisone shots every 3 months, so if that holds the pain, he'd like to wait until next spring at least...

1:19 am

grannyrose

dee, was offered the same deal by my ortho, but he went one step further, and warned me that cortisone softens bone, and when the time come, more bone has to be removed when the total replacement is done.

1:19 am

dart001

he can join ruru and have a double knee surgery

1:20 am

dart001

not two knees...two people

1:20 am

grannyrose

i opted to continue with anti-inflammatory agents and paracetamol extra strength.

1:20 am

VolleymomDee

That is what worries me! I want to ask my brother more about that.... not sure that waiting is smart

1:20 am

VolleymomDee

lol dart.

1:21 am

VolleymomDee

Hubby has so much going on right now; he would like to avoid surg for awhile.

1:21 am

grannyrose

hey dart, has been done. i nursed a guy who had it done....only took a little extra recovery time, compared to one knee

1:21 am

VolleymomDee

He said cortisone shot made a huge diff, so we'll see... doc didn't give him pain meds, so I figure if the pain gets intense before 3 mos, he'll have to do surg sooner.

1:22 am

grannyrose

dee, may i ask, how old is hubby?

1:22 am

dart001

i just meant...ruru has been putting it off for a while...they could go in together

1:22 am

VolleymomDee

he'll be 59 in Dec

1:22 am

VolleymomDee

maybe a discount?

1:23 am

VolleymomDee

prob began from basketball years ago

1:23 am

VolleymomDee

d's are: de 4, 5, 6, 4, 5, 4, 7

1:23 am

grannyrose

if he can hang in there until he's 60+, will have a much better result. you are only allowed 2 replacements per joint.

1:24 am

VolleymomDee

rose, actually, I think that is why doc wants him to wait for awhile..

1:24 am

VolleymomDee

He seemed to think if inflammation calms down, he'll have awhile w/o surg

1:25 am

grannyrose

get the cream dee. pain away arthritis relief. if you can't, for heaven's sake, email me your postal address and i will send him some.

1:25 am

VolleymomDee

then he'll have to think about what kind of knee he wants... biomet, zimmer, depuy lol...

1:25 am

grannyrose

stryker, the list goes on and on

1:25 am

dart001

they don't offer a trick knee?

1:26 am

VolleymomDee

I have arthritis pain cream... right now the shot did the trick... just not sure how long it will last... yes, and stryker

1:26 am

grannyrose

dart, mate, you still there? sure could do with some help with the e's, please

1:26 am

VolleymomDee

lol a trick knee...

1:26 am

VolleymomDee

rubyfoo

how are things, rbud?

2:37 am

rbud

oh, fair to partly cloudy - getting ready for that big annual party this weekend, going tomorrow to buy lots of buns and meat, paper plates, etc... and will start cooking Friday.

2:38 am

rubyfoo

what is the occasion for the party?

2:38 am

rbud

Hubby's bday is the 14th, our anniversary is the 16th.

2:39 am

rubyfoo

lovely

2:40 am

rbud

he likes a big party, but in Oct. on mine, I like it quiet, dinner out and a little campfire, I'm just that way, lol.

2:40 am

rubyfoo

how many people on Sat?

2:41 am

rbud

don't really know, anywhere from 60 to 100 or more, depends on the weather, many will ride motorcycles if it's nice.

2:41 am

rubyfoo

wow!

2:41 am

rbud

that's his bunch, he works on Harleys, certified HD mechanic.

2:42 am

rubyfoo

go Salukis!

2:42 am

rubyfoo

*poof*

2:42 am

rbud

we encourage camping, too, and there's a little local motel that usually gets a bit of business when we have the party.

2:43 am

rubyfoo

that all sounds wonderful!

2:43 am

rbud

we have a big chunk of land, and lots of woods across the driveway for tents.

2:44 am

rbud

it's fun, but exhausting for me, I end up in the kitchen most of the afternoon, but oh well.

2:44 am

rubyfoo

you're still young and have the energy!

2:45 am

rubyfoo

2:51 am

flosey

Has anyone heard how Dee's husband made out - and also the cesarean baby of a friend of hersp

2:51 am

rbud

I 'm glad I could follow your clues, too, g'rose, I'd have had a hard time with several of those! :P

2:52 am

grannyrose

flosey, babe delivered successfully, at 6lbs, and hubby needs a total knee replacement.

2:56 am

flosey

wonderful news re the baby. not quite what her hubby want to hear I think?

2:58 am

flosey

I just caught a tiny mouse with a fly swatter and upside down flower pot with hole corked

2:59 am

grannyrose

clever flosey, not sure how i would have handled that situation. the only thing i have ever done is scream....very loudly

3:00 am

flosey

we;;. at 1am. O dpm

3:01 am

flosey

start again, well, at 1;am i don't want the neighbours running over to see what was wrong

3:01 am

grannyrose

now why would that be, i wonder, lol

3:03 am

flosey

lol, hate to think what would be running through their minds

3:04 am

grannyrose

not a mouse, presumably

3:05 am

flosey

just as long as they don't call 911 before coming over - wouldn't that be quite a hullabaloo

3:07 am

flosey

well, I did go to bed earlier because I was so tired, but couldn't settle down, so thought I'd pick up a few more words

3:07 am

grannyrose

could be a bit of a giggle actually...about equivalent to the time i stopped my car, in peak-hour traffic, and refused to get back into it, as there was a great hairy spider crawling over the ceiling of my car.

3:07 am

grannyrose

where you stuck, sweetie?

3:08 am

flosey

oh, my daughter would do the same thing- , she is as frightened of spiders as I am of snakes

3:12 am

flosey

ok, dozing off again, be back in the morning

3:13 am

grannyrose

flosey, you still here, or are you aleep at the keyboard?

3:13 am

flosey

left a note to hubby about the mouse. (by the coffee machine0

3:13 am

grannyrose

oh, i see, well slepp well, my dear, see you at the flip

3:13 am

3:38 am

rubyfoo

3:38 am

rubyfoo

can you carry some branches?

3:39 am

rubyfoo

what a difference!

3:39 am

rubyfoo

and your clues made all the difference

3:40 am

grannyrose

now that's always a good thing....confronted himself re our bathroom today. offered to hire someone to finish it...he became very defensive.

3:40 am

rubyfoo

burt is sulking because the handyman started with "my" tree instead of "his" grass

3:41 am

rubyfoo

but the grass was too wet to cut in the morning

3:41 am

grannyrose

lol, for goodness sake, does it matter? both obviously needed to be removed

3:41 am

rubyfoo

he needs to find something to sulk about....

3:42 am

grannyrose

oops, dinner here, my dear, need to go. talk to you tomorrow

morning all. if you are interested... that is about my cousin.

8:05 am

MollyL

Wow Hursh, what a story. Your family must be very proud. He's an amazing young man.

8:06 am

hurshy

yeah... he's a lot younger than me so i don't know him all that well (we have a large family) but that certainly brought tears to my eyes.

8:06 am

i'm proud of my aunt for being so strong, too.

His Mom is amazing too. She seems very devoted to her son. Great story, thanks for sharing it.

8:09 am

crosshair

and a special salute to your cousin hurshy.the rest of the world can sleep easy knowing men and women like him are over there on the other side of the wire protecting those in need.my granpa was in ww2 and was called back to do much work as a fireman during the blitz

8:09 am

hurshy

and the four younger siblings have all been able to take turns visiting him down at walter reed, too. it is so weird though, since my aunt isn't so very much older than me and i attended her wedding as a young teen, to think she has a son old enough for this!

8:10 am

MollyL

His story reminds me of Carl Brashear, who was a pioneer in making sure military amputees would be reconsidered for active duty.

8:12 am

hurshy

my family doesn't have much military history in the past few generations - my dad was 4F for vietnam bc of his back - so this is all pretty new to me. must be cool to have a grandpa from WWII.

8:12 am

hurshy tell your cousin that i think he is amazing and i pray that all our military men feel as he does. we must be ready to sacrifice for our freedom. i fear these people. there is a you tube from london of an imam telling how the muslims plan to take over europe and then the world: little by little. they will eventually vote into power their own candidates and we will have shria law.........and then they will be in power. very scarey.

Tyvm MollyL, I have been trying to decode the earlier clues for co8/9 for hours. I still don't get the original clue! Must return to lurkerville and stuff to do. TA!

8:44 am

MollyL

It appears to mean Mexican skunk, but I don't clue with definitions I'm pretty sure most people don't know.

8:44 am

hurshy

you are so wise :)

8:44 am

Uncover

wouldnt the second half of the word be the same as the pa4 5?

8:45 am

MollyL

Yes it is. But I'm never sure which words people have and don't have yet.

8:45 am

Yay! Just broke 100.

our cat likes to lay on the bath mat while we shower,guess he likes the heat and steam,but i had to teach him early on in life that everything that swings and moves is not a dangle toy...

10:37 am

EvaNadine

hrm. trying to come up with ideas for dinner tonight (the planned meal is a no-go) and just nothing is appealing to me. i want something different from the usual...

10:38 am

crosshair

whats in the fridge,what meats are laying round?

10:38 am

Erda

Have it catered...

10:39 am

crosshair

lol,catering for a regular dinner..love it

10:39 am

EvaNadine

no meats that are thawed + not much in the fridge that isnt already allotted for something. i have some pasta, some instant rice, some butternut squash (already steamed). already had pasta this week, though...

10:39 am

rastapopolous

egg fu yung. Quick, cheap, easy, out of the ordinary.

10:40 am

EvaNadine

wish we could afford to have it catered!

10:41 am

crosshair

any chicken breasts in the freezer?

10:41 am

EvaNadine

yes, but i wont be able to thaw it in time for dinner.

10:42 am

crosshair

yes you can,put them in zip lock baggie and float in sink of cold water

10:42 am

periwinkle

you can defrost them in the microwave

10:43 am

EvaNadine

the microwave always dries them out + i will have minimal dinner-preparing time tonight. im thinking i may just be telling the hubs that we are just going out for dinner. thankfully, i have been saving some coupons...

10:43 am

crosshair

lol,love how she passes by my suggestion to get ready for dinner out on the town..lol

10:44 am

crosshair

i often thaw meats /fish in cold water baggies

10:44 am

crosshair

and i am agreeing with eva on microwave thawing

10:45 am

EvaNadine

crossy, i have defrosted them i nwater before as well, but it just takes too long. plus i dont really have anything else to put with it, so id have to stop by the grocery store first anyway. too much time + effort tonight. cant be bothered.

10:46 am

crosshair

food is so inexpensive in the states.go out for dinner here and the MINIMUM you drop without any drinks is 80 dollars!

10:47 am

EvaNadine

we are still working on a slim budget since moving, but i think we can afford $7 per person at the Old Country Buffet. ;)

10:48 am

crosshair

wow!..for m7 dollars all you can eat,i would pitch a tent in the lobby

10:48 am

EvaNadine

hah. well, ive never been there before. im guessing the food quality is "meh" at best, and im sure the health value is even worse. but at least you can get whatever you want and as much of it as youd like.

10:52 am

MollyL

Old Country Buffet is so so. It's better for breakfast. Pretty much your standard, cafeteria, steam tray fare.

10:56 am

EvaNadine

any other suggestions, molly? im looking for quick + cheap, but also decent-ish food and some variety... whats near us?

10:57 am

crosshair

lol when someone aks me for quick,cheap and fast,i tell them to pick two and get back to me

10:58 am

EvaNadine

well, arent quick + fast the same thing, crossy? ;)

10:59 am

sorry was supposed to be good fast and cheap for the choices

10:59 am

11:02 am

crosshair

up here we have,montannas,red lobster,one local mom and pop steak house and of all things a schnitzel(sp) house

11:02 am

MollyL

Eva have you been to Acajutla yet? That is pretty close to you, and it's good Mexican food. Not sure about how cheap though. I'm sure you could find their menu on line.

11:02 am

uusue2

OCB is not bad - bland, mostly, but you can hover around the salad bar for lots of fresh fruit and veggies, and the desserts aren't very good (so not tempting, at least to me)

11:03 am

EvaNadine

we have a red lobster. but theres not a whole lot there i can eat. wasnt a huge fan before WW anyway -- other than their glorious cheesy biscuits. :)

11:04 am

11:08 am

1:05 pm

flosey

have to tell you about my middle of night experience - couldn't sleep, so came out and turned computer on again, realized there was a mouse in the office, so closed the door and chased him around with a fly swatter and plantpot with hole blocked, finally cornered him under the plantpot and left him for hubby to deal with this morning

1:05 pm

crosshair

best 11 dollars i ever spent

1:05 pm

1:12 pm

jmcnrick

haha my cat is too old for those shenanigans now!

1:12 pm

uusue2

when there are words like "word" and "grid" in the grid the penalty box can get pretty crowded :-)

1:12 pm

uusue2

1:13 pm

jmcnrick

some are less fun about it than others ;-)

1:13 pm

medusa

1:13 pm

lilliann

no, cos it is too addictive..worse than cigarettes and they were easy to give up, compared to this....plus there are loads of lovely people from across the world and we all learn lots about different cultures...but i'd ignore flask from scotland, she's a pain!! lol

3:06 pm

Soodle

Oh my, Sue. Big changes!! Onwards and Upwards....

3:06 pm

uusue2

Indeed! I am going to park myself in the library for a while and read all the books :-)

3:07 pm

Soodle

Yay for you, Sue.

3:09 pm

scrambler

Congrats! Sue!!

3:09 pm

3:19 pm

lilliann

3:21 pm

Kazzer99

evening all - is there a list anywhere today?

3:21 pm

lilliann

or ve and foot digits

3:21 pm

uusue2

thanks all!

3:21 pm

lilliann

hi kazz, negative neil and wvteach

3:21 pm

uusue2

(I am in my "do other things but keep an eye on the chat for clues" mode)

3:22 pm

HarryHood

congratulations sue - I'm sending you a virtual gold watch

3:22 pm

lilliann

as far as i know, there could be more,so my apologies if i've left anyone out :)

3:22 pm

uusue2

thanks, harry! (although I'm not sure I'm going to care what time it is any more :-)

3:22 pm

uusue2

neil's list is in babanon too

3:23 pm

HarryHood

58 left and I'm stuck

3:23 pm

Kazzer99

got it by looking rankings

3:23 pm

lilliann

can i ask, why is it when people retire that they get a gold watch? (i know it's not always the gift now)

3:23 pm

HarryHood

I have one 8 and no 9s

3:23 pm

lilliann

did you get the ve sarah?

3:24 pm

MollyL

Who knows Lilliann. I've always thought that was a fairly dumb gift.

3:24 pm

lilliann

64 and stuck harry

3:24 pm

HarryHood

well lill I think I'll come back later and list

3:25 pm

HarryHood

good luck

3:25 pm

uusue2

bye, harry!

3:25 pm

lilliann

i always thought so... what were they suppose to do with it apart from the obvious...remember what they would be doing at that time?

3:25 pm

lilliann

bfn harry, i'll probably still be here!! lol

3:26 pm

MollyL

It's kind of a moot point these days as so many people are looking to work long after they might have retired.

3:28 pm

Soodle

A boyfriend of mine - decades ago - gave me a watch as a birthday present. My aunt declared that the next thing he would give me would be an engagement ring. She said that a gift of a watch meant 'The time is right'. My aunt was wrong..........

3:28 pm

lilliann

which would be good but sad as retirement is suppose to be a happy time and catch up on things they couldn't do and have fun with their lives and enjoy. my grandad worked hard for alot of years and was in ww2 and a year after he retired he was gone....

3:28 pm

sarah6girls

still can not get the ve6 27 need more help sorry :)

3:29 pm

sarah6girls

MollyL

Notice I am not saying one word about Soodle and men. Not one.

3:36 pm

lilliann

why break a habit of a lifetime molly!! :)

3:36 pm

Soodle

Molly. Your tongue-biting skills have been noted, and appreciated.

3:36 pm

uusue2

oh, here's the (almost certainly useless) definition of the ep4/6: a hebrew unit of dry measure, equal to about a bushel (35 liters).

3:37 pm

lilliann

thanks for the ep sue, but not sure about the measurement

3:37 pm

MollyL

*Whistles casually and wishes like hell that Ruru was here*

Typical, Molls, isn't it? Never a Ruru around when you need one!

3:41 pm

uusue2

ha, I need 5 of them, medusa!

3:42 pm

medusa

i have 8! lol

3:43 pm

MollyL

He probably would be of no help anyway, Soodle. He's been all "Father Ruru" lately.

3:43 pm

uusue2

ok, now I have 8 w's also.

3:43 pm

lilliann

i have 8 w's

3:43 pm

Soodle

Oh No, Molly. Has Ruru had an epiphany?

3:44 pm

medusa

i have 6 4 letter ones and 2 5s

3:44 pm

MollyL

No, I think he just goes on occasional guilt trips.

3:44 pm

uusue2

i have a 6. pt of one of the 4's

3:45 pm

Soodle

Oh, golly Miss Molly, don't we all? :-P

3:45 pm

3:48 pm

periwinkle

ok

3:49 pm

lilliann

and hi peri :)

3:49 pm

Soodle

<------ very impressed at Moll's ability to whistle whilst biting her tongue. A veritable contortionist!

3:49 pm

lilliann

she can wrap her legs around her head too soodle!!

3:49 pm

uusue2

So, how much sympathy should I have for students who don't bring a calculator to a physics final exam??

3:49 pm

Soodle

How many people have just tried to whistle while biting their tongue....... Hands up.....

3:50 pm

lilliann

are they allowed??

3:50 pm

uusue2

pretty much required, lilli

3:51 pm

MollyL

Not a lot of room for humor in chat anymore Soodle. Whistling is probably for the best. Biting tongue if necessary.

3:51 pm

amelu0218

*hand up* ~:o)

3:52 pm

uusue2

Yes, amelu?

3:52 pm

lilliann

i hated physics and maths so why i took it up at school, i don't know....oh yes i do.my mam told me too!! we weren't allowed calculators though...saying that, it is 28 years ago....omg...i'm getting old

3:52 pm

lilliann

if it is a requirement then no!!

3:52 pm

Soodle

Molly... No matter where you are, theres always room for humor!! And Amelu's honesty is to be commended!!

3:53 pm

periwinkle

I know people without a sense of humor,very sad

3:53 pm

uusue2

well, this is second semester university physics for engineers - they should know by now to bring a calculator (I thought of suggesting a slide rule as a backup but probably none of them have ever seen one)

3:53 pm

Soodle

Oh, me too, Peri. I dread them.

3:54 pm

periwinkle

I would not have sympathy sue,surely they know to bring a calculator to class by now

3:54 pm

lilliann

that's why you need to whistle, bite your tongue and wrap your legs atound your head molly!! :)

3:54 pm

periwinkle

missing a v and a w and 42 other words, and I hear there is no lickety

3:54 pm

periwinkle

that I would like to see :-)

3:55 pm

Soodle

Gawd!!! Speak for yourself, Peri....

3:55 pm

medusa

3:55 pm

lilliann

well, then they should no better and if they fail it is down to them sue

3:56 pm

uusue2

3:56 pm

periwinkle

was just kidding

3:56 pm

periwinkle

3:56 pm

lilliann

mmm.....i don't think i'd like to see molly do things like that...she'#d probably get stuck for one and not an image i'd like to see in my head!! love you molly :)

3:56 pm

Soodle

Desperately putting images of a contorted Molly out of my head......

3:57 pm

Soodle

Love ya Molls (((((_

3:57 pm

lilliann

yay peri, have you got a clue please

3:57 pm

MollyL

<--Not a contortionist. And yes, people without a sense of humor are OH SO dry.

3:57 pm

periwinkle

3:58 pm

lilliann

3:58 pm

periwinkle

4:02 pm

periwinkle

4:03 pm

Soodle

MollyL, you may not be a physical contortionist, but your mind is very very agile! And thanks for the comfort food. I'm ravenous. :=

4:03 pm

periwinkle

never heard that phrase, Molls

4:03 pm

craftylady

Yes thanks Peri

4:03 pm

lilliann

diving into moly's soup....mmmmm...tastes yum....needed that!

4:03 pm

periwinkle

I am hungry too

4:03 pm

periwinkle

yw craftylady

4:05 pm

MollyL

Peri, Irish women generally cook enough to feed their clan, the clan next door and anyone else who wanders down the street. At least the Irish women in my family cook that way.

4:05 pm

lilliann

tomorrow night, i have my bairn'r boyfriend, and friend who is also a boy coming over for tea. we are having a raclette, but i've told her they all have to stop downstairs!am i being too mean?..

4:06 pm

periwinkle

raclette?

4:06 pm

MollyL

Raclette? Is that fondue?

4:06 pm

lilliann

most of my family are welsh molls and they did the same and it has come down in generations, also my mam's side are geordies and scottish so the same there too

4:07 pm

lynxxx

It is your house Lill, so whatever makes you comfortable

4:07 pm

MollyL

And if you mean by "stop downstairs" that there is no entertaining in her bedroom, you are most certainly NOT being too mean.

4:08 pm

periwinkle

39 left, bbs

4:09 pm

lilliann

no, it is a french thing....it is electric, and has a griddle pan on top and a grill underneath and you get 8 little triangle pans, so you cook yopur food on top and then put notmally raclette cheese which you get from france but here i use any soft cheese slices and so you put your food you've cooked in your little pan and then put cheese ontop and then grill

4:09 pm

lilliann

bye peri, tc hin

4:10 pm

lilliann

my mam and dad brought it over from france as when my bairn and i were there we liked it

4:10 pm

lynxxx

sounds delicious

4:11 pm

lilliann

you put it in the middle of the table and have loads of other things as in we cook courgettes, mushrooms, prawns, tonatoes, really whatever you want...it's suppose to be a family thing

4:13 pm

Soodle

Good heavens, Lil. You are pushing the boat out! Boyfriends of daughters in this house take pot luck. It could be egg and chips, or it could be lobster thermiador (yeah right!!)

4:13 pm

lilliann

no, i don't think i am either, thanks molls, could be as i'm an older mam, compared to my bairn's friends, but she is nearly 13 and hormones are flying at the moment

4:14 pm

lilliann

lol soodle, i'm doing the raclette as it is easier for me as they cook what they want, instead of me cooking it and them not eating it...plus, they don't know this yet but they are helping me prepare everything!!! lol

4:15 pm

Soodle

Personally, I am fond of the boyfriends who come bearing Chinese take-away or pizza.

4:15 pm

lilliann

ne too, but he is only 12...so that isn't going to happen...

4:17 pm

Soodle

Lil, you will have a great evening. I love being in the background, and listening to the teenage conversations. I usually need Molly's tongue-biting talents...

4:17 pm

lilliann

i'm sitting with them!!!

4:19 pm

MollyL

Lilliann, I don't care how old you are or how old her friends Mothers are, 13 year old girls should not be entertaining boys in their bedroom.

4:19 pm

lilliann

my daughter actually wants me eating with them and so does her boyfriend who i've never met but spoken too on the phone, he sounds very polite and her male friend, we've both known since she was a baby and she went to school with him until last year when they chose different ones

4:19 pm

cosdem

that sounds delicious and i would not mind one bit u sittng with the table if ii were one of them

4:20 pm

MollyL

I mean, unless you WANT her pregnant at 15.

4:20 pm

cosdem

then she could be on a tv show on mtv :)

4:20 pm

Soodle

14, Molls.... do the math!!!

4:20 pm

lilliann

thanks molly, her dad and i are rather strict but probably because we are older and the way we were bought up

4:21 pm

MollyL

I was allowing time for the usual fumbling teenage sex, Soodle.

4:22 pm

lilliann

i think i'll need molly's tongue biting talents too soodle! :)

4:22 pm

Soodle

Point taken Molls. (I had forgotten about the fumbling bit... :-(

4:22 pm

MollyL

I don't think you are strict at all, Lilliann. If anything, most parents these days are WAY too lax.

4:23 pm

Soodle

HIya Cos. Or should I call you Rembrandt? (Cos and I are playing Drawing with Friends on Iphone....)

4:23 pm

lilliann

aww, thanks cos :)

4:24 pm

lilliann

mmmm. you've never met me molly, believe me, i am strict...sometimes i think too much!

4:26 pm

cosdem

lol i suck soodle but i upgraded to draw something pro last nght.. only 1.99

4:27 pm

Soodle

Not at all, Cos. I ain't no Michaelangelo myself!!!

4:27 pm

lilliann

and as for getting pregnant when she is 14 she's not 13 yet and if i have my way she will be in a....ahh, i can't think of the word, i said it to my brother earlier, about one of his daughters!!

4:28 pm

lilliann

got it...chastity belt!!!

4:28 pm

lilliann

hi cos

4:29 pm

Soodle

Lill, I have 2 girls. One 20 and one 17. So far so good, but I'm not complacent. its a tough world out there. You do your best, you pray, you keep your fingers crossed, and hope they will turn out OK.

4:30 pm

lilliann

at the moment theya re into holding hands and a kiss on the lips...better stay that way.....

lilliann

i take my hat off to you soodle as i only have my daughter and i know how hard it is to tell them right from wrong, about sex but at the end of the day whether she listens to me is another thing...i hope so

4:32 pm

crosshair

throwing in my 2 cents worth.i would not allow my 13 year old daughter to entertain a boyfriend in the bedroom

4:32 pm

Soodle

Oh, and I almost forgot... you terrify the bejaysus out of them by telling them the graphic details of giving birth.... (joking)

4:32 pm

lilliann

no you're not...lol

4:33 pm

lilliann

i've already told her...

4:34 pm

lilliann

i'm trying to put her off anyway i can...as they grow up alot quicker now, as in hormones, periods...its frightening!!

4:37 pm

Soodle

About 4 years ago, I had a 17 yr old son, and a 16 & 13 yr old daughter here. I used to have to duck to avoid the hormones flying about. I retaliated by saying 'Just you wait till I hit menopause... just you wait...........'

4:38 pm

crosshair

lol,i am always asking the mrs if it is hot and cold enough for her:))

4:38 pm

MollyL

Hormones and periods have been around forever. It's the exposure to sexually graphic stuff that kids get these days that contributes to what I call "early onset sexuality".

4:40 pm

Soodle

Molly, my sister found pretty graphic porn on her Iphone. Nobody but her or her 7 yr old son had access to her phone. Now THATS scary.

4:41 pm

lilliann

i've been in the menopause since i was 35, and am nearly 43 so that might also be why i'm a grumpy old mare, but saying that i would still be the same as in how i bring her up! :)

4:43 pm

MollyL

I wonder why a 7 year old has access to a cell phone that can download porn.

4:43 pm

crosshair

yea,mom and dad can just put her on toddlers and tiarras instead..show sickens me

4:44 pm

lilliann

my daughter has a laptop but only until a certain time and certain sites are not allowed..we have access to every site she visits

4:45 pm

lilliann

the problem is that her friends show her things!!

4:46 pm

Soodle

Well, I guess she never in a million years guessed that a 7 yr old would have the wit to google bigboobs.com or whatever. NetNanny has been installed on every device in the house now, but my sister is terrified of what he has been exposed to, and more importantly, how a 7 year old even thought to google such a thing.

4:46 pm

lilliann

omg soodle, did he realize what he's done...probably not, but would he really know what he was seeing...??

4:47 pm

Soodle

$64,000 question Lill.

4:47 pm

lilliann

as in a sexual thing..hopefully not!!

4:48 pm

lilliann

maybe he's looked at your sister's and then just typed it in??

4:49 pm

Soodle

When the net was relatively new, my youngest was doing a school project on Ancient Egypt. I had the brainwave we would Google it.... well, the stuff that was thrown up would make your hair stand on end.....

4:49 pm

crosshair

pe 6/27 and 7/36 used when making jams and jellies (alt spelling)

4:49 pm

i typed in catteries as in for my cats top go and stay for 2 weeks whilst we were away and you don't want to know what came up!!!

4:50 pm

Kids hear things from other kids. I would guess that is how the youngster knew what to type in to get to the mentioned sites. We are a long way from boys swiping their Dad's Playboy magazines.

And you can filter and NetNanny everything in your house, but what happens when they are playing at someone else's house? *Goes back to whistling as this conversation seems very unpopular*

4:55 pm

crosshair

you control what you can in your own home and set the rules,unfortunatly you cannot censor the great outdoors and he or she will come into contact with things you object to

4:57 pm

lynxxx

TY Cross, nice one

4:57 pm

Soodle

So, whats to be done, Molly? My sister sat her son down, and asked him why he typed in bigboobs or whatever. He was utterly mortified (can a 7 yr old be mortified?) She did her best to explain why ladies take their clothes off, to earn money etc, but she felt her explanations went over the head of a 7 year old. Vicious circles....

4:57 pm

lilliann

i bet he didn't take it though crossy...it's sooo hard being a parent as you tell them right from wrong but then they will still choose their way....i just hope that we have done right!

4:58 pm

he did not take it,he has been offered sex and meth,and ecstacy.a parent can only teach them right from wrong and hope for the best

4:59 pm

lilliann

i didn't dare do wrong as my dad was a policeman at the time but now teenagers don't give a monkeys if you frighten them with the police, because they want a fight!!

5:06 pm

5:06 pm

Soodle

I'm not sure if anybody ever suggested this on Babble before, but was there ever a suggestion of a Babble Book Club? I.e., a book would be nominated, a month would be allocated to read the book, then a discussion of the book would follow.....Perhaps on FB or some other forum..........or am I being hugely optimistic?

5:06 pm

medusa

thanks guys. got there eentually! lol

5:07 pm

5:09 pm

I just joined a local book club, Medusa, and having read the nominated book, I was fascinated to hear other people's opinions of the same book. Many of them totally different to mine!

5:09 pm

its good to do i guess. not found anything like that round here

5:10 pm

Soodle

Oh thanks, Cross. I had no idea such a group existed. Is it Negative Neil?

5:10 pm

5:11 pm

lilliann

ois that on fb viajes?

5:11 pm

crosshair

and goodreads is a very nice site in its own right,keeps track of the books you have in readers or on your shelves,allows you to rate them for others and suggests a next read based on your reading patterns

5:11 pm

Soodle

so without knowing your 'real-life' name, how do I make contact, Via?

5:12 pm

viajes

yeah... except I only log in about twice a year and update all the books i've read in six months...

5:12 pm

it might be Katherine... maybe...

what's the group called again crossy? It's like "Babblers Who Read."

5:13 pm

no it's not on FB it's its own site, goodreads.com or maybe .org, I forget

5:13 pm

having just moved into a new neighbourhood, my new neighbour and I decided we would landscape together (we were much younger then). The plants arrived and we spent the morning planting shrubs at her place. We had just finished and settled ourselves on the front step with a bottle of beer when two reps from some church or other came down the street, bibles in hand. They took one look at us and actulally crossed the street, continued to come down our way and crossed back again after passing us by! --- I guess they thought we were beyond redemption!

8:29 pm

lilliann

yay molly!!

8:30 pm

MollyL

I'm right there with you Lilliann. I actually feel sorry for people who make it their business to say nasty things about other people. What a sad way to live one's life.

8:32 pm

lilliann

exactly molly, they are just jealous! i feel sorry for people that don't have our lives and want them, i wish i could give all the good people in the worls what they wanted

8:33 pm

lilliann

but sadly i don't have a magic wand, and at times i feel guilty for what i have

8:33 pm

Good Enough

I used to be very self conscious until i heard "you wouldn't worry so much about what people thought of you if you realized how little they do". So true! everyone is worried about what you think of them to worry about what they think of you!

I have been for three days, neil, but people keep getting confused and looking for it in the grid, so I had to rename it today

10:09 pm

lilliann

I think "not-in-the-grid" is an essential part of the title
