Oh thanks... needed a shave though. lol
1:41 am
flosey
nice smile
1:42 am
negativeneil
Ha. Thanks flosey... but I'm looking a little too positive. Might ruin my image. :P
1:43 am
jillibus
that needing-a-shave look is au courant these days but I prefer clean shaven.fine
1:43 am
negativeneil
I do too jilli... but it's hard to maintain that well with me and Ijust don't want to bother some days. Shaving is a pain.
1:43 am
flosey
have it jilli, no pb
1:44 am
jillibus
glad, flosey -- but the hands we got at bridge served as enough of a penalty.
1:45 am
flosey
what a night
1:45 am
jillibus
did anyone ever figure out what caused the mixup?
1:46 am
negativeneil
Actually re: the "negative/positive" thing, I have a funny cartoon someone drew... gonna put it on photobucket. Should give you a laugh.
1:50 am
flosey
not sure jill, may have to do with the spare table - boards there from previous round should move to next playing table and new boards go spare, MAYBE
1:50 am
flosey
the only thing I can imagine
1:52 am
negativeneil
Ok here it is... it features our friend Brad [who we call "Scandal Pants" sometimes and who says "totes" instead of "totally"] and me... although I'm sure neither of us ever looked this bad, haha:

You will have to click the image to enlarge it so you can read it.
1:53 am
negativeneil
Ugh. Photobucket resized it smaller so it's still just bout impossible to read even when you click on it. Bummer... sorry about that.
1:57 am
jillibus
Got a vague Idea of what it's about
1:57 am
negativeneil
If there are any words you can't see I can tell you what they are.
1:57 am
negativeneil
Or attach it to an email and send it?
1:58 am
jillibus
The email idea is best
1:58 am
negativeneil
It cracked up both up though... he printed it out and has it on his fridge.
1:58 am
negativeneil
Yep, sure. I'll do that now.
2:03 am
negativeneil
Sent.
2:07 am
jillibus
Thanks. I'll have a look and then I'm off to bed.
2:10 am

6:59 am
Mom
oh that is awful
6:59 am

I'm probably the only person who likes MRI's. They put me to sleep instantly, it must be the rhythmic pounding! lol
7:03 am
hokie carla
granny, I have had one on my knee and my elbow. The technicians told me the elbow was the absolute worst body part for an MRI. They weren't joking.
7:03 am

7:05 am
bichon
I think my arm would fall asleep
7:05 am
hokie carla
I didn't know there were so many different kinds of slugs. They're all gross to me.

the last time I saw a solar eclipse, was at the Inst for Advanced Study and we had our hippie priest, several little kids (including my son who was 6) and it was wonderful. Father Brown said a prayer and we all watched the projection through my backwards telescope
7:11 am
uusue2
yes, bichon, here's one: http://venustransit.gsfc.nasa.gov/
7:12 am
uusue2
you won't be able to see this directly - you can either watch a live stream or project the sun's image onto a screen - but Venus is very small compared to the Sun
7:12 am
grannyrose

50% woohoo
11:14 am
cybernan
you can probably find them on your computer, glan -- just google diamond jubilee and you will come up with lots of stuff
11:14 am
Glantarell
I really appreciate the energy and effort and determination and dedication the queen has pout into ther role
11:14 am
Glantarell
but I don;t think the UK is in a strong enough financial position to have done the whole jubilee thing
11:15 am
cybernan
yes - she has worked very hard all her life and at 86, still is. Can you imagine? -- over 400 engagements in the past year!
11:15 am
Glantarell
we've had 2 extra days holiday which must have hit small businesses very hard and the amount of money spent on the celebrations has been phenomenal
11:16 am
cybernan
It was all financed by donations -- and the think of the tourist Pounds it has brought in
11:16 am
Glantarell
we've been hearing about it for months and months - alternating with the Olympics
11:16 am
rururocks
you should try a new presidential election every 4 years glant.. talk about waste of money
11:16 am
Glantarell
I think the Queen is great, I really do, but hope the tourist income covered the cost because I think we could have spent the money in better ways
11:17 am
cybernan
yes -- your elections probably cost 5x as much spent on the jubilee
11:17 am
Glantarell
trye ru - and I have noticed that the candidate with the biggest budget tends to won
11:17 am
rururocks
i can't comment..last time I did Haz gobsmacked me
11:18 am
Glantarell
your elections seem very complicated to me
11:18 am
cybernan
according the the newscast, glan, the jubilee cost the public approximately 65p per taxpayer
11:19 am
cybernan
All other costs were covered by donation.
11:19 am
Glantarell
I think that robably doesn't include what it cost small businesses to have two days where they paid their workers for doing nothing
11:19 am
Glantarell
or big businesses, come to that

Yes. Haven't been sleeping well; sciatic nerve pain. Took 2 aleve last night and slept from midnight until 7 AM, so started my day early.
11:49 am

Ugh, sorry to hear that. I have had the sciatic nerve thing and it's a whole new frontier of pain.

same here vollymom dee my sciatica was drivng me mental that pulling feeling running all the way up the leg.i also too alieve and i find that sleeping with a body pillow tween the legs helps a lot
12:10 pm
VolleymomDee
I agree crossy; I have more pillows that the store has in our bed..... I also use rice pillows on pressure spots; do stretches.... doing everything I can to delay a surgery.... go to chiropractor... it's the "chew nails" kind of pain ... so sorry you have it, too :(
12:11 pm
crosshair
true in deed vollymom.my doc said to avoid surgery at all costs and to not come in till i was crawling on all fours
12:12 pm
crosshair
cause once they start poking around the spinal column you may as well flip a coin
12:12 pm
VolleymomDee
ditto that... have a friend who had epidural shots a few weeks ago... helped him a lot
12:12 pm
VolleymomDee
so very true
12:13 pm
crosshair
i had a friend with the same cause as mine,herniated neck disks.he went in for surgery..and came out needing 2 canes for the rest of his life:(
12:13 pm
VolleymomDee
have been wondering if a hot tub would help
12:15 pm
crosshair
so i put up with tingling and pulling sensation in arms and legs do the exercises,take advil or alieve and wait
12:15 pm
VolleymomDee
aleve is about the only thing that will work for me... do you think the exercises help?
12:16 pm
crosshair
i do them all,and all i think it does is help keep me limber to some extent as i am a tall large hefty fella
12:17 pm
VolleymomDee
I'll have to be more faithful about doing them. :)
12:17 pm
crosshair
want a good one volly mom? lay on yer bed flat on your back with everything below your tushie hanging off the bed and let your feet rest on the ground.you can feel it stretch all the way up
12:18 pm
VolleymomDee
I'll try that! Thanks!
12:20 pm
VolleymomDee
odd word in 7/36 not sure I have ever seen that before
12:28 pm
MollyL
I can vouch for the exercises. They help build up the muscle which supports the nerves.
12:29 pm
onyx
Yep exercise works for me too. and losing weight
12:29 pm
VolleymomDee
Thanks for the encouragement; I really needed it today!
12:30 pm
VolleymomDee
Losing weight probably won't happen for me... prednisone pretty much kills that idea, but stretching exercises should be on my daily to-do list :)
12:31 pm

In the reboot, Grandpa is described as a powerful vampire with the quick wit that Lewis initially injected into the character. He's the head of the mysterious family who continues to have Herman under his thumb.

Both pe6/24s sound alike, different spellings
1:56 pm
cosdem

1:57 pm
uusue2
thanks molly, never heard of the alternate spelling (to the jelly one)
1:57 pm
Uneaixoise

1:57 pm
MollyL
I haven't either Sue, but you know, in Babble, almost anything goes.
1:57 pm
Nef

2:04 pm

2:10 pm
Uneaixoise
hego, not that I'm aware of!! LOL
2:11 pm
hego
all of the old Babblers like Haz and FM, jac, etc use defs.
2:11 pm
cosdem
sometimes I wish I had an ignore feature on here because some of the people idk about lol
2:11 pm
BabbleRabble
There is no consensus on the proper way of giving clues ... only debates and preferences
2:11 pm
MollyL
To clarify, someone gave the definition as one thing and I posted "actually it means..." and got a lot of mean spirited comments as a result. Like "if you don't like the clues, don't play". WTF?
2:12 pm
Uneaixoise
oohhh, I've corrected stuff before too -- not very well accepted . . . oh well
2:12 pm
cosdem
oh and u have to be sure to thank each and every person who gave u a clue too apparently
2:12 pm
BabbleRabble
I tell the critiques to put me on ignore

Hey, everyone has there own way of playing this game. Nothing is set in stone.
2:18 pm
Uneaixoise
un + ca4 is pretty weird too!
2:18 pm
hego
that's what I thought
2:18 pm
MollyL
I agree Une. I assume it's referring to removing something ca4ed on.
2:19 pm

question: Why does the Queen always carry a handbag?
2:40 pm
hego
no one knows
2:40 pm
hego
I heard today, it's not money, she never carries monry.
2:40 pm
periwinkle
seems odd, maybe it gives her something to do with her hands
2:40 pm
BabbleRabble
because handbags can't walk
2:40 pm
hego
or to give her something to do with her hands
2:41 pm
periwinkle
snap, hego:)
2:41 pm

I like BR's theory. lol

2:41 pm
scrambler
maybe she's packing a pistol! hahaha!
2:41 pm
hego
Peri they really discussed that on the Today show.
2:42 pm
scrambler
or maybe it turns into a weapon!
2:42 pm
hego
It's a bespoke bag made for her.
2:42 pm
hego
Um... I think Scram is a little sinister.
2:43 pm
scrambler
her majesties' secret weapon., provided for by MOD.
2:44 pm
hego
it's called the diva.

oh dear. I wander away a bit and you guys get weird! Haldol works better than thorazine, hego
2:51 pm
scrambler
hegos trying to knock me out!
2:51 pm
Nef
(lots faster, IMHO)
2:52 pm
hego
after I wrote it I thought of Haldol, Nef
2:53 pm
hego
taking a break. bbl

:-) Thorazine always seemed to take too long when someone was sick and violent
2:55 pm
MollyL
Damn, look out. Nurse Ratchets are in the house.
2:57 pm
scrambler
hahah molly ! nurse diesel! loved that movie!
2:57 pm

no, you're safe. We are retired nurses now; we're almost harmless (we're probably dangerous only if we start talking "shop" at mealtimes
2:58 pm
scrambler
have to go fix dinner! babylon babblers!
2:58 pm
MollyL
If I were on the psych ward, I would want Whoopie from Girl Interrupted as my nurse.
2:59 pm

since I don't watch movies, I don't know any of the nurse characters in them. (probably a good thing, too.)
3:00 pm
viajes
final wr6 anyone?
3:00 pm
MollyL
Why don't you watch movies, Nef?
3:01 pm
MollyL
wr6...what you do when you are vomiting
3:01 pm
viajes
you could know Nurse Rachet from the book
3:02 pm
MollyL
It's actually defined as a miserable person. See? I correct my own definitions : P
3:02 pm
Nef
Oh, I do know her from the book, viajes, but movies often change characters and don't follow the story lines.
3:03 pm
viajes
it's a homonym to the re5 :)
3:03 pm
Nef
Molly, I get nightmares easily; so even stupid childrens movies with a bit of suspence cause them. I stay away from movies; no nightmares
3:04 pm
MollyL
Ah, vivid imagination.
3:04 pm
MollyL
*Reminds self not to sneak up on Nef*
3:05 pm
Nef
TOO vivid. But there are worse things inlife; glad I found a way to fix this one
3:05 pm
MollyL
Ahem...what happened to Via's Not In The Grid Made Up Word Of The Day?
3:06 pm
Nef
Yeah. I don't do well with that either. :-( My kids used to get a kick out of startling me
3:06 pm
MollyL
Nef, you are what is called an emotional empath.
3:07 pm
Nef
??? ( off to look that up)
3:10 pm
Nef
Actually Molly, I have Narcolepsy (if you really want to know) Cataplexsy, Hypnogogic Hallucinations and sleep Paralysis are all part of the deal. I don't need nightmares!
3:11 pm
MollyL
No, indeed you don't.
3:12 pm
Nef
I don't think the emotional empath fits at all. I am a caretaker, be that good or bad. But have never had depression, panic attacks, food, sex, or drug binges, etc. I don't think I could have worked in ICU for 34+ years of my nursing career if I was an emotional empath
3:13 pm
MollyL
I stand corrected. I only said that because emotional empaths often can't watch movies because they become too involved in them, and then have dreams or nightmares about them.
3:14 pm
Nef
ah, okay. You're forgiven. ;-)
3:16 pm
Nef
BTW, anyone else going to watch the transect of Venus?
3:17 pm
Nef
OOPS! Transit!
3:18 pm
MollyL
I read an article about it that said it sounds like the title of a romance novel. Take care, you need a special viewer for that.
3:19 pm
MollyL
1882 was the last visible one.
3:19 pm
MollyL
Next on up? 2117.
3:20 pm
Nef
LOL! During the eclipse of the sun we discovered that our neighbor has not 1 but 2 welding masks! It was pretty cool watching that (til the sun set) and he's home so I'm going to wander over after a bit and borrow them again! :-D
3:20 pm
MollyL

Venus transits occur in pairs that are eight years apart, but these dual events take place less than once per century. The last one happened in 2004, and the next won't come until 2117.

3:28 pm
Nef
(I'm usually very interested in all things space, as is my son. But I don't know how I missed that one.)
3:29 pm
Nef
LOL! Same here! I've gotta share a cute kid story about space though.
3:31 pm
Nef
My grandson is now 3. He watched Carl Sagan's "the Cosmos" with his dad; and now every time he comes over he has to dig out my science books and magazines and have me read "The Cosmos" to him! Doesn't matter what space exploration the book or magazine is about; it's ALWAYS "the Cosmos!"
3:31 pm
bichon
Let's hear Nef
3:33 pm
bichon
Why do we let kids grow up?
3:35 pm
Nef
So when I was coming back from my vacation I picked up a science (space) magazine with a picture in it of Yoda about aliens; and he's trying to get his dad to watch the Cosmos again because he missed Yoda in it the first time! :-D

3:38 pm

3:39 pm

gotta do some productive things and stuff
3:40 pm
crosshair
well nef,so far today he has knocked down a plant stand with 15 plants on it,ripped the wiring out of three computers,tipped over 3 water dishes,spread his cat food and littler into the living room,attacked the other 2 cats,got into the cupboard under the sink and broke a mirror,,,and he has not even had a nap yet
3:40 pm
bichon
I think it must have been a newspaper plastic bag which is thr right color.
3:41 pm
Nef
can you kennel him for bad behavior, crossy? (And could the other 2 cats be "helping" him with this chaos?
3:41 pm
Nef
Oh, dear bichon!
3:42 pm
bichon
how would a kitten understand being kenneled for bad behavior.
3:42 pm
Nef
are the plastic bags biodegradable?
3:42 pm
crosshair
you kidding?/ the other 2 cats hide in the bedroom and will not come out except to eat and poop.if i kennel him he cries and wails
3:42 pm
bichon
He usually finds day-glo ear plugs and poops orange
3:42 pm
bichon
I am afraid to even think about it
3:43 pm
crosshair
as bichon says,he is too young to understand yet
3:43 pm
Nef
oh, my crossy. you have your hands full then. The other 2 cats avoid him?
3:44 pm
crosshair
well,the 3 year old will play with him in the morning but runs out of steam after 2 hours.the 6 year old female avoids him like the plague
3:44 pm
bichon
These two weren't puppies when we got them, but previous puppies were crated for portions of the day to keep them out of mischief. And at other times, leashed to my belt.
3:44 pm
bichon
at least a kitten will use a litter box.
3:45 pm
crosshair
now bichin,i like that leash to the belt idea...
3:46 pm
crosshair
we have a cat harness and are setting that up as we speak
3:46 pm
bichon
A pupper won't learn to be housebroken if it is give free run of the house. Now you don't have to worry about that with a kitten, but it's the general idea
3:46 pm
Nef
my friend has her 9 month old King Charles whatever leashed to her belt at all times. Darn dog just won't potty train

when we've had kittens, we played very hard with them and then would kennel them for an hour or two so they could rest. How old is your kitten, crossy?
3:48 pm
bichon
Small dogs can be difficult, but leashing to a belt will not allow the puppy to squat. That and taking to dog for regular walks, especially after a meal will help. and, male Bichons are very difficult to housebreak.

we used to put our 2 kittens in the bath tub and put a pingpong ball in there and they would play "hockey" for a good 15-20 minutes. It was hilarious and they got so tired!
3:51 pm
bichon
was the bath tub full or empty <ggg>
3:53 pm
crosshair
gave devil kitten tennis ball yesterday..he punctured it:(
3:53 pm
Nef
Bichon, this is her 2nd dog. The first one was very easy to train; she takes each dog for separate walks, and the indoor leash is about 10 feet long (the outdoor leash is a standard one)
3:53 pm
Nef
bath tub was empty, bichon.
3:53 pm
crosshair
kitten is 12 weeks btw
3:53 pm
Nef
Crossy, how did a kitten puncture a tennis ball?
3:54 pm
crosshair
with his teeth
3:54 pm
bichon
way too long. It has to be short enough so the dog can't squat [get into position to pee]. Is it male or female?
3:54 pm
crosshair
he is a big kitty with a wide head already..looks like a young jaguar..
3:55 pm
Uncover
sure you didnt get a bobcat somehow?
3:55 pm
Nef
female. She taking her for puppy training too. Puppy has never wet in her kennel; my friend has taken her to the vet numerous times, no UTA, does her business outside too
3:55 pm
crosshair
ears are not tufted
3:56 pm
bichon
We rescued a Bichon puppy once [male] who spent most of his first 4 months in a crate. So he did the rare thing, he eliminated in the crate. He spent months leashed to me
3:56 pm
Nef
I was going to ask the same question, Uncover!
3:57 pm
bichon
Dogs won't usually eliminate in their crate. But you just can't allow them freedom in the house until they're reliable
3:58 pm
bichon
The two we have now [rescues, strays] were not housetrained at over a year [lifted their legs in the house]. Took a loooong time

you going to be (even more) confused when the Sun comes up though
4:52 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I am already confused. The physical therapist told me that the hip pain I have had is really back pain.
4:53 pm
lynxxx
ah yes - the good old referred pain
4:53 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I am supposed to get out of bed in a whole different way. Which isn't easy since getting out of bed is usually not a wholly conscious act
4:53 pm
Kaplan the Magne
And I have to get up differently from sitting down.
4:54 pm

You must have very bad pain - my sympathies
4:55 pm
Nef
(((Kap))) What happened?
4:55 pm
lynxxx
You don't like chiropractors?
4:55 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Nothing happened- I thought it was arthritis, but appenently it's musculo-skeletal.
4:55 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I am going to find a chiropractor.
4:56 pm
Kaplan the Magne
And try not to get a chiropodist by mistake.
4:56 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I think chiropractic is the way to go, at this point.

I don't know why I have waited this long.

In fact, let me go and do a search now. ttyl.

I visit one once a month and find this prevents a lot of major issues. But even better for my back was going to gym 3 times a week - MUCH stronger and less prone to major outbreaks

stid -- there was a movie in 1937 called "Sixty Glorious Years" about Queen Victoria, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of her coronation. I saw it at the Grand Theatre in Shanghai when I was 10. I also saw the first Disney Snowhite at that theatre that year.
9:00 pm
stidmama
I phrased that one question strangely -- Jill, I didn't know that movies were available in Shanghai, not that you didn't have the technology. *bangs head on keyboard*
9:00 pm

Oh, I bet seeing Snow White in the theater must have been wonderful -- I don't think I ever saw it on the big screen, but it has always been one of my favorite movies.

Elizabeth wasn't as young as Victoria when she got stuck with the job.
9:07 pm
mab
with all due respect to the queen, she's no beauty.
9:07 pm
jillibus
No, stid! She does wear wonderful colours.
9:08 pm
stidmama
I think she's beautiful -- she looks like my grandmother! REALLY looks like her, only younger.
9:08 pm
jillibus
She was, mab.
9:08 pm
stidmama
I am hoping I will have a face like hers when I am that age.
9:08 pm
mab

mab

9:10 pm
Bugsaw
Hey stid and everyone here
9:10 pm
jillibus
The Queen does NOT have a long horsy face! You're thinking of poor old Camilla.
9:10 pm
mab
not that i have any less respect for her. hi bug.
9:10 pm
Bugsaw
or Princess Anne. She sure lost out on looks
9:11 pm
mab
anyway, jilli, you are beautiful. Elizabeth will be fortunate if she begins to look more like her late mum
9:11 pm
stidmama
I think the princess looks like her father more than her mother.
9:12 pm
Bugsaw
yes Jilli. I saw your pic on Facebook with your family and you certainly do look younger all the time
9:12 pm
mab
well, camillla too.
9:12 pm
jillibus
Thanks, mab, for the eye of the beholder. Mine eye saith otherwise!
9:12 pm
stidmama
but I didn't see her, I think, at any of the festivities this weekend.
9:13 pm
jillibus
Camilla was hiding under a huge hat.
9:14 pm
jillibus
Meow. I think she's really a very nice fun person.
9:14 pm
stidmama
camilla was - she always seems to wear such large hats!
9:15 pm
jillibus
What someone said about the Queen is so true -- she is a constant in such a changing world.
9:15 pm
stidmama
okay, I have to head out. down to 36, which isn't too bad.
9:15 pm
jillibus
I should be getting supper!
9:15 pm
Bugsaw
too bad I missed you then. Keep in touch
9:16 pm
