Its not where I got the name, but it's still a terribly fun song =)
12:16 am
dianedecoder

He also wrote "Poor, Poor Pitiful Me" which was actually a big hit for one of our Canadian country singers.... he was diverse, that's for certain!
12:16 am
moonwoof

I enjoy a fair bit of his music. He's not my favorite, but he's certainly decent, imo
12:17 am
TraderKate

hi diane :)
i remember that song, but can't remember who sang it... but i'm pretty sure anne murray covered it ;)
12:17 am
TraderKate

where'd you get moonwoof from?
12:17 am
moonwoof

Really? Zevon sang it, originally, as well. He sang most everything he wrote to the best of my knowledge
12:18 am
moonwoof

Well, there's a thing called a "wolf run" where Ive done most of my growing up... and it involved mead, a full moon and skinny-dipping lol
12:19 am
dianedecoder

yes he did... then Lynda Rondstadt did it, and an Alberta C & W singer, Terri Clark had a hit with it more recently
12:19 am
moonwoof

So I'll spare the details, and just say the water was cold. But I got called that for a while.
12:19 am
jillibus

so your moonwoof name is appropriate :-)

1:07 am
stidmama

not sure, jill -- was hoping for the end of this month, but with the funeral that weekend, it's not looking likely... probably have to push into August at this point, assuming I don't have a classroom of my own to plan for it is wide open.
1:08 am
stidmama

oooh. NBT and NBS, but not halfway yet.
1:09 am
jillibus

and stid, maybe you'll need to do some supervising of the building of your new house?
1:09 am
TraderKate

go, stid, go!
1:09 am
stidmama

I might, jill -- but right now it's in such a holding pattern and time is running out on the rate we were pre-approved for. I really hope this is going to happen, but at the moment, I am thinking long-term apartment living again.
1:10 am
jillibus

oh no, stid!
1:11 am
TraderKate

surely, you can shop around for another mortgage company who will match the rate? competition is high...
1:11 am
stidmama

the house we have planned for and signed the contract on is quite expensive. The rate we had was VERY good for a construction loan, and rates have gone up since then.
1:11 am
TraderKate

they don't want to lose your business to another bank/holding company
1:12 am
stidmama

To be honest, I don't know that any of it is worth the effort. I want to rebuild, but not at the cost of my sanity. We don't even know that the permits will be possible within the time frame...
1:13 am
jillibus

Keep the faith, stid!
1:13 am
stidmama

thanks jill and kate -- something will happen, some time, but I am not holding my breath
1:15 am
jillibus

why is it in a holding pattern?
1:16 am
stidmama

between bank approval of the contract we signed with the builder, the builder having not yet submitted permits for building (and who knows how long getting permits will take!)... it's in a holding pattern. We are also still waiting for the final answer on why the house burned, as well as the final decision on how much we will receive to reimburse us for the contents.
1:18 am
jillibus

How terrible that other people are delaying things for you -- can't your bank see that?
1:18 am
TraderKate

that's a lot of pressure stiddie, are you coping okay - really?
1:19 am
stidmama

a lot of it is our fault, too, jill -- we didn't make several things clear from the start and that has meant additional delays.
1:19 am
stidmama

no kate, to be honest I am NOT coping well. But I am coping, and there is no alternative to this. I will make it through, but it's going to be messy.
1:20 am
stidmama

I am a person who hates transitions of ANY kind, even good ones. So... I know myself and am doing what I must to keep myself and my family as intact as possible. Looking for work, while financially a high priority is pretty low on my list of things to do.
1:21 am
TraderKate

alternate idea - if you are not "married" to the house, sell it to a developer or professional and just get another house... i've seen it done. unless you are filthy rich, most of the value of the house is in the land.... and the house is not beyond repair
1:21 am
jillibus

"Life is not all froth and bubble.
Two things stand alone--
Kindness in another's trouble,
Courage in your own."

I wish your bank, contactors, and so on, would heed that.
1:22 am
jillibus

Kate, the house has been demolished.
1:23 am
stidmama

it's our HOME, kate -- we own the land, it just lacks shelter... my garden is there, and my heart. And Jill -- I believe our builders and the insurance adjusters and the bank people really are good, kind people -- or we wouldn't be dealing with these particular people. But still, things get missed and mis-understood, and that makes things rougher.
1:23 am
TraderKate

yes, stidddie, i agree. the house is your number one priority atm.... keep plugging away one thing at a time.... "what's for you won't go past you" my grandma used to say
1:23 am
stidmama

And yes, the house WAS beyond repair and was razed.
1:24 am
TraderKate

oh stiddie, i didn't realoize it was torn down..... sorry!
1:24 am
stidmama

it's okay, kate -- how would you know? *hugs*
1:25 am
TraderKate

is it possible to get the insurance and bank and (lawyers?) all together to hash things out with everyone on the same page? can the ombudsman of any of these firms help?
1:25 am
moonwoof

change is *always* hard. That's its nature. But you're here and well, even if stressed. I like that part.
1:25 am
TraderKate

{{{(((stiddie)))}}
1:26 am
stidmama

that is why I have confidence, kate -- these are people who are from our community, who already know and work well with each other, who (I believe) feel that it is more important to have long-term good will in the community than immediate profit
1:26 am
stidmama

thanks moonwoof
1:26 am
jillibus

Stid, you WILL get your new house.
1:26 am
TraderKate

it sounds to me like you require more guidance than you are getting... you mentioned a legal friend (but not in real estate field)... can he help?
1:26 am
stidmama

eventually, yes Jill -- I might be 96, but I will have one! LOL
1:27 am
jillibus

or, to make it grammatically what I mean, you SHALL get your new house. That's the imperative.
1:28 am
TraderKate

IMPERATIVE that stiddie and co. get a new abode!!!!
1:28 am
jillibus

And I mean NOW. With those understanding people you can work with.
1:29 am
stidmama

no, my friends who are lawyers are not this type of lawyer and we don't have money for the right kind. I am not actually worried about the legal bits, having read and helped write some legislation, I am worried about meeting deadlines. I am a highly punctual person, Tom is not, and his easy-going approach when combined with our rather too-common misunderstandings... *sigh* He and I rarely have "issues" but this process is extremely hard on both of us.
1:30 am
jillibus

The birth of a new life is always difficult.
1:30 am
stidmama

true that, jill!
1:31 am
stidmama

anyway -- didn't mean to take up the chog with my issues. They are so minor, compared to many peoples' troubles. We have shelter, we have the means to survive even if it's not ideal, and we have "prospects" in both the short-term and the long run. We are survivors.

i wish i had some better advice for you stiddie ( or a bunch of cash to send you), but alas, no lottery and trite sayings don't cut it... you and yours are in my thoughts, if i can think of anything at all that may help, ill chat to you.
take up the chog all you want stiddie 0- that's what it's for.... we each do what we can to support our babble family. just talking can be of some theraputic value at times... everyone needs to vent, and you never know who's lurkinga and might have an angle not yet thought of.

it is positively luxurious to be able to babble morning , noon, and night! i am looking forward to seeing all my babble friends htat aren't on when i normally am throughtout the week :)

i most certainly do want to see them stiddie! i love to garden and chestnut trees are one of my very favourites!

yay, stiddy...and i have the short cut already on my bar
1:55 am
TraderKate

no stiddie, i had no internet at home ( and no computer - long story) but i have been going to a FREE internet cafe where i have "made myself useful" they have been pretty good to me, and they gave me the loan of an older lap top (just like the one i used ot have) for the weekend 2 weeks in a row! the new neighbours upstairs have wifi and kindly allow me to hitch-hike on their internet....
not really working a "real jjob now stiddie :(
1:56 am
stidmama

oooh! very nice, kate. about the making yourself useful, not about the employment situation. ((hugs)) I will put you on my list of people to hold in my heart if you like? It is discouraging to want and need a job and not get something.
1:56 am
TraderKate

you have so many other things that should take priority stiddie! but thank you for the address... i noticed it's not in your profile....
1:57 am

i am in the absolutely worst place in canada to be looking for a job... i really need to move back to toronto... but now, i have put down some roots, and am making a good name for myself... i'm hopin gsomething will come of it eventually
1:59 am
stidmama

no, I don't generally put things like that in my profile. :-) even though the chog is permanent and searchable, I think people are less likely to actually look for details like that in the archives than they are to randomly look at my profile.
1:59 am
TraderKate

okay... your screen name . com
2:00 am
TraderKate

i will make a note to myself in my e-mail, so i don't forget.
2:00 am
stidmama

yes, roots and a name are important. It's one of the reasons our home is important to me -- I have lived in that community more than half my childhood and for almost all my adult life (as a military brat this is important) -- and the people there know me and eventually I will get the job I desire. I think. I hope. Or at least in one of the local communities I have been working in lately.
2:01 am

and of course, kate, my email if you ever want it would be the screen name. At gmail . com

this is a very small town, and though i have been here only about 2 1/2 years, i am fairly well known. i did a lot of volunteering my first year and a half... plus a little job i have on thurdays and saturdays which gets me out in front of the people. i think my best chance is going to be because i "knew" someone who put me together with someone looking for someone like me. in the mean time, i get some odd jobs form the internet cafe as well.

2:12 am

sleep well, sweet kate. i won't be here until nearly 4am your time.
2:12 am
moonwoof

nope. plural lex = le5/14
2:12 am

which is what I took limb + notch to mean. I may have misunderstood
2:12 am

pr6, abdominal ambulatory process of caterpillars.
2:13 am

Well, I can well imagine that a caterpillar would be considered pr6

Hey there, scouser. How in the world are you? I haven't seen you on here for a whil.
2:34 am

thanx for sharing, peach
2:34 am
moonwoof

And I cant lie... babble makes me make up words so I dont step all over grid owrds accidentally lol
2:34 am
moonwoof

lo scouser! glad you liked!
2:35 am
gapeach

Knew you would like to know. I get one warning nowadays and I start toward THAT room.
2:35 am
scouser

I'm still babbling but trying to reduce amt of time on computer - directly proportional to the size of my waistline.
2:36 am
gapeach

I know what you mean there, scouser.
2:36 am
grannyrose

peach, add to that taking a diuretic, then there is even less warning time.
2:37 am
moonwoof

My doctor prescribed a minimum of 2 hours a day on the computer. She seems to think it's the only way I can stay still.
2:37 am
scouser

maybe I should put the computer higher up so I have to stand and not sit
2:37 am
moonwoof

but then, she's also an odd duck
2:37 am
gapeach

I drink a lot of tea and I think that may contribute to this problem....oh, hell, I'll blame it on something.
2:38 am
scouser

hey moonwoof - babble's working again bringing such a variety of folk together
2:39 am
gapeach

de6-39 please....thanks

2:39 am
scouser

I drink loads of black tea all day especially now I have retired. but I don't drink alcohol or coffee or milk
2:40 am
gapeach

Does black tea have a diuretic effect, scouser?
2:40 am
grannyrose

peach more like de*, de*, wetness on grass + *s*e, land surrounded by water + sometimes vowel
2:41 am
gapeach

Thanks once more, Rose.
2:41 am
grannyrose

peach, coffee, tea and even chocolate all have a diuretic effect. the caffeine acts like a water pill
2:43 am
grannyrose

i drink green tea only after 4pm, no coffee, black team chocolate or cola. otherwise i am still sitting up at 3am, looking for the party.
2:43 am
gapeach

Dang, Rose, I had forgotten about chocolate.
2:43 am
grannyrose

lol, peach, not many peeps remember that chocolate has just as much caffeine as coffee
2:45 am
gapeach

I have a friend who jokingly said, "Well, you can always get a catheter." I hope she was joking. LOL
2:46 am
grannyrose

mind you, fresh coffee has no effect on me. it's only the 'artificial' coffees that do it to me.
2:47 am
gapeach

Wonder why that is?
2:48 am
grannyrose

*giggle* at work we currently have only one toilet for all the staff in 6 theatres, endo theatre, recovery, short stay unit and cardiac cath. lab.
2:49 am
grannyrose

i don't know peach...perhaps i am able to process the natural caffeine better? *shrug*

3:20 am

lol Maisie, how nice, a freebee :)
3:23 am

in that case, rose, your only two strategies would be A. to not react or B. to keep mixing up the facts. "Was that with Elvis? You mean Sandra Bullock was in love with Marilyn Monroe??? How exciting!"

lol, yeah....
3:35 am
grannyrose

sprite, i wondered why that is myself...
3:35 am
sprite

I mean, it is not fair. "Let's have a party. We partied all night." Right?
So... "Let's have an or4. We orgied all night." Works for me. Babble-wise, that is. Not so much in practice.
3:36 am
zoozzoom

Not getting the eye clue o-o?
3:36 am
puglet

I, myself have never been to such a party
3:37 am

me neither. I like my man alllllll for myself.
3:38 am

Ahh thanks, Rose....No problems, o-o..I often am in my own little world..lol
3:41 am
sprite

if my ey5 was my own little world, I could fly
3:42 am
sprite

of all unfair things in creation, the fact I cannot fly bites most
3:42 am
zoozzoom

Are you scared of flying, Sprite?
3:43 am

no. I would love to be able to fly. Like a bird. Or superman. Not in a plane.

puglet

I would enjoy that ability myself Sprite
3:47 am
grannyrose

awww, sprite and pugs. {{{hugs}}}} to you both
3:47 am
sprite

was talking to God about it very recently. Asked him: "So how does it all fit together? I mean, when I ask about world peace you tell me about human free will, but when I ask about wanting to be able to fly, you just say no? Where's our free will there then?"
3:48 am
puglet

Ive got questions for him myself when I get to meet him someday
3:49 am
sprite

but of course, the Big Man had the last Word and said: "Imagine how world peace would suffer when Man could fly."
3:49 am
zoozzoom

But you can fly, Sprite..your spirit is free to fly where ever...you often say i will pray for you..so your spirit flies to that person for healing....where did that come from..lol
3:49 am
sprite

awwww zooz. I love you so much. :)
3:49 am
grannyrose

sprite, something to do with our body mass, perhaps. besides we can do all sorts of things, just not fly.
3:50 am
puglet

oooh thats nice Zoom
3:50 am

no wonder that in my books we CAN fly :)
3:50 am

ahhh, zooz, much better answer
3:51 am
grannyrose

pugs, just pick up the line of communication...it is open 24/7, hun

Is it possible to comprehend the "Omnis" of God?
3:52 am
puglet

thanks Rose--hugs to you all
3:53 am
o-o

When I talk to God, I just tell him he has to try harder.
3:53 am

Well, since we are created in His likeness, we might look at our own Omnis. But I am not sure where it is.

strange, the reading today was from st. luke's gospel. ch10 verses 1-11 and 16 -20
3:58 am
sprite

why is that strange?
3:59 am
grannyrose

*reaching out to you chrissie*
4:00 am
o-o

For me, "lurker" is a pejorative. I am an occasional disinterested observer most of the time .... a disconnect that might be existential ...
4:01 am
zoozzoom

Sprite..If i may ask..how did the B-B-Q go recently?
4:01 am
grannyrose

strange in how Our Lord's word is there whenever we need it. and not so strange...the word gives us the strength to proclaim the gospel.
4:01 am
sprite

I think originally 'lurker' is a pejorative. But not in babble. Here it is a friendly word for those playing, reading chat, but not chatting.
4:01 am
zoozzoom

I personally prefer the word, Stealth..lol
4:02 am
sprite

oh zooz, that was yesterday. It was LOVELY! Beautiful weather, good food, and the best company. Rob had brought our hammock and the children played and dozed in it the whole time.

4:04 am

LOL..yes i think your son is too old to be seen playing about..that would seem too childish to him :-)
4:05 am
o-o

Yes, puglet. It speaks to me.
4:05 am
sprite

probably. Though with little children he is pretty good, he wouldn't mind entertaining them.
4:06 am

I love to still get down in the dirt and play cars with my nephew--its getting back up thats the problem--lol

“If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.” ~ E.B. White

having an issue with my 'cell' phone. ag4 ago, himself put a mobile phone in for repair. when 'it' came back, he was sure it wasn't his original phone. lately i have been getting sms's from his 'phone' to say it is in sri lanka.
6:33 am
crosshair

uh oh
6:33 am
crosshair

better call the company who repaired his phone
6:34 am
crosshair

they may have givine him his phone but put the wrong sms card back into it
6:34 am
grannyrose

when he had the original phone, he installed avast anti-theft program...he thought he had uninstalled the program. however it was embedded in his phone.
6:34 am
crosshair

may be your phone but with someone elses chip in it
6:35 am
crosshair

i have heard of this happening when the repairs are heavy and they have lots of phones being serviced and someone is in a hurry
6:36 am
grannyrose

the company has sold his original phone on. and the avast program is still on it. now, every time the person in sri lanka opens/ inserts his sim card, i receive 2 sms messages to tell me his phone is in sri lanka.
6:36 am
crosshair

well,better look into that.that is for sure
6:37 am
crosshair

odd things going on with your smart phone usually translate into odd huge massive bills at the end of the billing period:(
6:38 am
grannyrose

we have texted the new owner, told him how to iuninstall the program...he is non-compliant. i have to remember to put my phone into silent mode every night...or we are woken to beep-beep at 5:30am every morning.
6:40 am
grannyrose

yeah, crossy. am guessing it is now a company phone...and this new person doesn't give a s**t about the cost.
6:40 am
crosshair

see at this point i would be calling someone to either make it right,or cancel my service,take the bloody phone back so i can get a nice new phone from a nice new provider.one that has no issues
6:41 am
grannyrose

*giggle* maybe i need to leave the phone on himself's side of the bed...? we are trying different apps every other night. hopefully one of them will work.
6:42 am
crosshair

i have no patience for odd things going on with my electronics.either i fix it or if i cannot fix it a tech will and if he cannot ,i put it into a blender and set it to frappe
6:43 am
grannyrose

ROFLOL!!
6:46 am
grannyrose

i think my plan would work better...
6:48 am
crosshair

when i first got into computers in the early 90,s for the house,i had no idea what i was doing and of course i instantly got myself a virus.i took it to a local computer guy who i blindly trusted and instead of rooting out the virus and making everything nice,he wiped the hard drive clean,eradicated all my things that were on the computer and when he re-installed windows and an anti-virus both were 2 years older than the software i had on it when i sent the unit to him.i vowed never to let that happen again.i got a 2 year subscription to maximum pc magazine and poured over them like my very salvation was in the pages somewhere and ever since that time,i build my own computers and have never darkened the door of a computer repair shop again.that is how crossy deals with balky electronics;))
6:52 am
grannyrose

yay, crossy...but how to translate that to himself....who thinks he knows better? *sigh*
6:53 am
crosshair

lol.just get him a subscription and leave them laying around the house.if i can do it,anyone can
6:54 am
grannyrose

my own brother, who lectures to the top tutors of an university, who travels internationally to teach programs, apparently doesn't know as much as himself...
6:55 am
grannyrose

ah, well, *sigh* so long as i can babble, play my jigsaws, and receive/send emails....
6:56 am
crosshair

and you do not have to end up building the actual computer.if you go into a repair shop knowing the lingo as it were,you will not get ripped off anymore.i had a unit i wanted a new operating system put into and a few other tweaks i had no time to do so i sent it to a local office supply store that did minor repairs on the side.he started off trying to charge me 300 dollars but by the time i was done interrogating him as to exactly what he did,and spending 30 minutes roaming through the innards of the computer,the bill suddenly dropped to 59 dollars plus tax
6:58 am

you have to.take this point: if it was 72f and sunny all the time with no wind or rain or storms,you would not know what cold is
7:12 am

so a small flaw only accents just how good us canadians are:))
7:12 am
hurshy

sure but i don't believe you can base ultimate truth on human experience. and i believe God would be good regardless of whether anyone had chosen to rebel and be evil.
7:14 am
hurshy

just because we can't IMAGINE how it would be if there were no evil, and it SEEMS to us like we wouldn't be able to know that good was good without the contrast, doesn't mean that it's true. we don't know what it would really be like cause we only know the world as it is.

it is nice that they will do that for you. . .
12:23 pm

i spent some time being angry. . . it was not completely resolved. . .it wore me out as i said
12:26 pm
TraderKate

they have been very good to me, and i do what i can to "make myself useful", what goes around comes around.... if i didn't need to save my pennies for a much-needed a/c, i would buy it form them - it's an old one like the lappie i used to have, so it shouldn't be that expensive. joso has kindly offered me a desk top that he no longer uses... just a matter of getting it from toronto to fort erie.
12:26 pm
jmcnrick

well it sounds as if you can be patient it will work out for you. . .

3:47 pm
Soodle

I saw your generous good wishes on FB! Your a better man than I am, Gunga Din Trif!
3:48 pm
Trifioso

that was mostly for my kids benefit....but I did mean at least some of it, i guess
3:49 pm
sammysmom

li 6/27 ?
3:49 pm
Soodle

It came across as generous & well meant, Trif. Good for you.
3:49 pm
Trifioso

thanks. life is short, you know?

3:49 pm
Soodle

YOLO!
3:50 pm
Trifioso

in any event - its done. Im not proud of this - at all - but when I first heard, my very very first thought was "maybe I can get more child suppot now!"
3:51 pm
Soodle

Candy is dandy, but li____ is quicker!
3:51 pm
sammysmom

dammmmmmmmmm.. thanks mom... one would think i should have gotten that one,
3:51 pm
momof5

perhaps too early in the day???
3:51 pm
Soodle

Sheesh Trif! You must look after you & yours!
3:52 pm
MollyL

Trif, le5ly I don't think your ex's spouse's income has anything to do with child support.
3:53 pm
sammysmom

taking benadryl for my itchies.. have welts on upper trunk and they itch
3:53 pm
Trifioso

apparently it does if the new spouse is a "high earner" -- I need to find out what that actually means
3:53 pm
MollyL

Poor SMom. Why are you welty?
3:53 pm
Soodle

Whats causing the itchies, Sammys?
3:53 pm
sammysmom

i don t think it is hives though... i have already had them... guess you can get them again though
3:53 pm
momof5

bug bites?
3:54 pm
sammysmom

don t think bug bites.. or they would be on legs priobably?
3:54 pm
momof5

hives can happen any time you have allergic reaction. I had them when I found out I was allergic to acrylic
3:54 pm
MollyL

Wow, I had no idea that a step-parent would be legally bound to support step-kids.
3:55 pm
Soodle

Benadryl absolutely Zonks me..... I take it only when absolutely necessary. I go around walking into walls after taking it.
3:55 pm
sammysmom

maybe strss........... hubby was in hospital almost all of last month....... he had a bleeding u,lcer .. also has copd and emohysema......... he lost lots of blood
3:55 pm
Trifioso

they aren't. but they are legally required to support their spouse. And if that joint income is really high, child support can get raised
3:55 pm
Trifioso

sammy, I am so sorry to read this news. how stressful indeed!
3:56 pm
momof5

That could do it. My dad had copd/emphysema. Not fun. How is your hubby now.
3:56 pm
MollyL

Aw, poor SDad. Is he better now?
3:56 pm
sammysmom

had to have 4 units of blood .... lost all his strength.. so we have him home in a hospital bed in living room... he is getting palliative care , so dr comes to house as well as nurse and therapist
3:56 pm
Trifioso

gotta go....need to drive the girls somewhere. as always

4:00 pm
sammysmom

we are grateful for every day .. and all my kids and grandfs are in and out constantly helping with what they can
4:00 pm
Soodle

You be sure to take care of yourself while all this is going on, SammysM. It would be very easy to neglect yourself at times like this.
4:01 pm
sammysmom

4:04 pm
momof5

Good. Always take time to refresh yourself.
4:04 pm

Soodle, have you been gardening or walking in the woods? Sounds like you are allergic to something with stems or branches. There are other antihistamines as well. Visit your pharmacist and let them have a look at the rash.
4:13 pm

4:17 pm

My, didn't I just pick the perfect time to check the chog? Who's scratching what, and why? Or do I want to know? ;)
4:18 pm
Soodle

Okaaaaaay...... I googled 'word games', and found Babble! Never did I think I would end up ...... clamped in the butt cheeks of a fellow word game enthusiast! Funny old world.....

8:07 pm
TraderKate

ask crossy next itme you see him, he's pretty much our resident computer guru...
8:07 pm

Then you need a USB cable that will connect to your phone and to your computer. The store where you bought your computer should be able to help you out with that.
8:08 pm
lilliann

i wouldn't even know how to do that molly.email a picture to myself that is?
8:08 pm

no, bad link, when I cut and paste it leads me else where
8:34 pm

ha, interesting, the extra character didn't show up when I typed it in; it appeared as a forced new line. I think I understand the problem now.
8:34 pm
lilliann

i just put it in yahoo and got photos up. i recognise it now
8:34 pm

anyway babble inserts a backslash and an "n" into long url's

8:46 pm

hmmm.
8:46 pm

anyway it is apparently a control character that babble is choking on

8:50 pm

it may be an attempt to keep long strings of characters from forcing the chat box to extend itself (which it still does anyway sometimes)
8:52 pm
uusue2

fireworks!
8:52 pm
MollyL

\ "anything" is code speak for "new line" Whatever is in the code for this chat box is incorrect, so it is instead, inserting the \n instead of forcing the new line

9:01 pm
joso

canoeists po7 around rapids
9:01 pm
TraderKate

to carry a canoe over land bypassing things like waterfalls... maybe a north american thing, not sure... origin of the wored is french
9:01 pm
lilliann

TraderKate

9:03 pm
MollyL

Not being a boat person, the definition of that word never did anything for me.
9:04 pm
TraderKate

..... baby you can drive my car.....
9:04 pm
lilliann

i could carry it over my head molly and you can sit in it whilst the bairn pushes me, then we all get to sit down and have a ride :)
9:06 pm
MollyL

L, I see you more on a pontoon boat, with swarthy men guiding it and your young one feeding you grapes. (Notice I did not say mushy peas)
9:06 pm
lilliann

i must admit, i'm not a boat person, apart from the fact that i've been on a ferry so i wasn't sure what i was looking for
9:07 pm
lilliann

aye, otherwise i would have tipped you out of my canoe
9:07 pm
MollyL

Not being dumb, I would never trust you with safe passage over water, L.
9:08 pm
joso

perhaps old harbour would have been a better clue
9:08 pm
lilliann

charming!! lol
9:09 pm
lilliann

i can actually paddle a boat as i'm sitting down, as long as i don't move my arms too much as then i start getting dizzy :D
9:10 pm
lilliann

joso, any clue is gladly received , whether i get them or not. the fact that someone has gone out of their way to clue in the first place is good enough for me
9:11 pm
MollyL

Paddle a boat, as long as you don't move your arms too much. Slow trip.
9:11 pm
uusue2

there is a town near here in Indiana named po7; I've always wondered if one had to carry one's canoes around it
9:12 pm
lilliann

anyway molly, i was talking about throwing you out of the one i was carrying over my head, and you sitting there like lady muck doing the royal wave as we go by
9:13 pm
lilliann

very slow trip molly, especially when we go round in circles!
9:14 pm
lilliann

you never know sue :)
9:14 pm

*Adds Lady Muck to the UK terms I have learned this week. "Diddums" is still my favorite* (Notice I put no U in favorite)
9:14 pm
lilliann

yes!!
9:17 pm
TraderKate

sue - probably named for an old po 7... they usually are... in niagara falls (ontario) we have a po7 street, because that was the original path... and there is a po7 la prarie in manitoba... lots of them in quebec
9:18 pm
joso

like all those ford and spring names
9:18 pm
MollyL

*Wonders why you need to carry a canoe over a prarie*
9:19 pm
uusue2

interesting, kate!
9:19 pm
uusue2

yes, the Rock River is near here and there are towns named things like Rockford and Rock Falls, same idea
9:20 pm
joso

the prarie has a few rivers, most noted for flooding at the moment
9:21 pm
TraderKate

because it is on the assiniboine river , the po7 joins it to the red river .....
9:22 pm
TraderKate

joso.... so wry ;)
9:23 pm
TraderKate

yes sue, if you look at maps old and new... you will probably seewhere they must get around some obstacle in the water like bad rapids... or they want to "transfer " to a different waterway

Hi, everyone! ((Kate)) Just here for a couple of minutes to say hello.
10:04 pm
TraderKate

{{{{((((MIMI))))}}}
i've been asking about you!!!
where have you been???? i was worried
10:05 pm
TraderKate

soooo glad you stopped by :)
10:06 pm
MimiCat

Dear Kate. Jilly emailed me and told me. I asked her to tell everyone I was fine....just working a lot...finally. But I miss you guys SO much! I'm fine, dear. You can always email me personally...glad to hear from you.
10:08 pm
TraderKate

i was just about to e-mail you... others had said they saw you around the chog, figured i was just missing you... glad you're working, though hope you don't overdo it. i saw some comments about "the nutter" and the "normal" one.
10:09 pm
TraderKate

i know how much this job means to you, you must make it your first priority!
10:10 pm
MimiCat

Yeah, got a really terrible dr. who I've nicknamed "the alien chipmunk with OCD on drugs." She's REALLY bad. I'm the type who gets very irate when the working relationship isn't as reciprocal as it should be....hanging in and trying. Making pretty good money, though, and tonight I treated myself to a pizza for the first time in nearly 3 years! It's the little things in life....
10:11 pm
MimiCat

Since I can't eat much at one time, this pizza will last me three days!
10:12 pm
MimiCat

So glad you have a computer you can use at home instead of at the coffee place!
10:13 pm
TraderKate

ah mimi, i know where you're coming from... i remember a post not too long ago about kd and pb... i won't elaborate, but i wanted to help.... at the time i had nothing to assuage the situation... when do you get your first cheque from the job?
10:15 pm
MimiCat

Already have one but the bigger one is this Friday. My first early retirement check is in 10 days as well...things are definitely looking up. I did see where several of you are talking about meeting up...Canada people, etc....so wish I could join you!
10:16 pm
MimiCat

Talking to Jilly about getting us western Babblers together maybe in September.
10:16 pm
TraderKate

so glad to have the loaner, but it goes back monday...i wanted to buy it, but i desperately need an a/c for my apt. basement, but surprisingly warm and extremely humid here. lots of black mold... makes it tough to sleep in the warmer weather, as i get very little breeze through the 2 windows.
10:17 pm
MimiCat

Oh, dear, wish I could help. I have a computer that needs a mother board I could let you use if we were closer. Did I see where joso was going to help?
10:18 pm
TraderKate

so glad you already have the extra cash coming in, thought it might be weeks.....
we will have to have a PB party to celebrate your new-found success!
10:19 pm
MimiCat

It has been a long hard struggle, Kate...and today I found myself being sad and weepy about my kids...no solution there, just heartbreak...but somehow I'm strong enough to keep on keepin' on! Grateful for what I DO have.
10:19 pm
TraderKate

mimi, dear mimi, no need to worry... last month was just an especially tough month for me. i have a roof over my head - i'm safe (nowthat the psycho neighbours upstairs are gone), and i eat very well - just absolutely nothing extra...
10:20 pm
MimiCat

One of these days, Kate, we'll get together. I'll find a way to come and visit and we'll go see our Babble people...I just KNOW it! You are so special to me.
10:21 pm
TraderKate

i hope you manage to have a meet-up out that way - there are lots of you, but spread out all up and down the country!
10:22 pm
TraderKate

we will make it happen mimi! perhaps after yoou move to thatr special little place you've had your eye on????
10:23 pm
MimiCat

That will hopefully happen early next year. But in the meantime I want to see you and crossy and Min and everyone out that way. Just a plane ride away...
10:23 pm
TraderKate

i'm so glad that things are looking up for you, i know how hard you have been trying, and how much you have sacrificed.... wish there was an easy solution for the kids... one thing at a time :)
10:25 pm
MimiCat

I have excellent friends who love and support me and have become my family....never take that for granted. When such special people care about you, it helps one's self-esteem.
10:25 pm
TraderKate

if i cou;ld arrange it, i would have a huge babble meet-p out wash. d.c. way... they seem to have a great core group, and is very easy for many to get to... and of course, i have not seen the capitol.....
10:26 pm
MimiCat

D.C. is amazing....I've been there several times. You could spent your entire life seeing the Smithsonian. My godson is there working on his Ph.D. and when done will hopefully be back in Berkeley....where his mother (my best friend of 44 years) and I want to join him eventually.
10:27 pm
TraderKate

crossy - i love to pieces... and min! well, what can i say??? she's always so helpful and pleasant... the unofficial "hostess" to the grid... it's so nice to be greeted by her
10:28 pm
MimiCat

Dear Kate, I'm really tired and must start work early tomorrow, so will have to say goodnight. So glad I could talk to you and do send me an EM any time...I would love hearing from you.
10:28 pm

My patience has been tried today...thought I was going to spend time with Josh, but his family hijacked him...

:(
that sux, Sux, SUX!!! whence did they hijack himself to? and to what purpose?
11:03 pm
TraderKate

understand being miffed - after those litttle words... inconvenient, to say the least!
11:04 pm
Jellen

I'm not sure...He just told me that it was a family get-together that he couldn't escape.
11:05 pm
Jellen

Now he's waiting for his mom to come home so he can leave...SMH...

good, bye for now
11:08 pm
Jellen

My problem is that it seems to happen a whole lot...
11:08 pm
TraderKate

does mom require a lot of care? if so, it must be accepted now, or it will lead to problems later....o rperhaps she will be watching his kids... not sure...
11:09 pm
Jellen

Yes, I think at least one of his kids is still there...
11:10 pm
TraderKate

mom as excuse not to see you?
11:10 pm
Jellen

It usually has to do with the kids...
11:10 pm
TraderKate

well, someone has to watch the little one.... musn't be irresponsible...
11:11 pm
Jellen

Yeah, but he wasn't scheduled to have the kids today...
11:12 pm
TraderKate

kids will always pop up when you least expect/want the diversion....try to roll with it? there will always be "hiccups" the real question is can you roll with them?
11:12 pm
Jellen

My impression is that the ex dumps responsibility on him. Like not picking them up on time, etc.
11:13 pm
Jellen

It will be better when 1) he's comfortable with me being around the kids, 2) when the ex knows of my existence, and 3) it's okay for me to be around the family...
11:14 pm
TraderKate

ah, a classic control thing by one or both of the former partners..... you're not asking, biut i suggest you stay out of it... nothing good comes from getting in the middle of that particular can of worms.... further along from now, you could embrace this as an opportunity to spend some "quality time" as more than just a couple..... just not yet
11:17 pm
TraderKate

you are entirely correct, the only cure for this is time..... and i thnk you have a very realistic handle on the situation... though i can commiserate with you - you meet a great guy and wnat to spend a lot of time with him (perfectly normal when the pheremones are alight) but cannot because one of you has RESPONSIBILITIES. don't trade a short term gain for long term pleasure
11:17 pm
Jellen

Wise words...
11:18 pm
TraderKate

LOLOLOL LMAO... from a woman who has NEVER been married, and has no children... but i watch others and learn... osmetimes
11:20 pm
TraderKate

.... and i once met a guy - both ridiculously crazy for each other... long story short - he had the responsibility of a son to care for full time, and i was ultimately a distraction to his prime goal in life - get the son ready for the real world... i still misss him :(

how's tricks tonight? are things going as smoothlyu as possible under the circumstances?
11:25 pm
TraderKate

i've slain the chog :(
note to self: don't tell any more stupid stories....
11:25 pm
stidmama

I think so, we spent most of our time today at IKEA (again) trying to be sure we were getting furniture we actually WANT and will keep for a few years. It's not a lot of fun to feel that we have to have all this stuff right away, but really we DO need things like beds and a sofa. So there's a bunch of "decisioning" going on and it's tiring. You?
11:28 pm
TraderKate

any chance you could buy "gift cards" instead of the actual furniture until you need the stuff? don't you have to store it all????
...and in canada IKEA is swedish for "out of stock" (running gag)
11:29 pm
TraderKate

up here, ikea has become veryu expensive... you can easily buy a couch (assembled and delivered) for less than they charge...
11:29 pm
stidmama

:-) today was the first time ever that something we wanted wasn't in the store, but we adapted and just got a different color. And right now we need beds and a sofa. Really need. We are sleeping on air mattresses lent us by a friend (we had the rental furniture removed yesterday), so it will be long enough waiting for the furniture to be delivered now.
11:29 pm
TraderKate

oh, i thought you were staying with family...
11:30 pm
stidmama

We have no trouble assembling IKEA things ourselves. :-) but king size beds and sofas don't fit in my minivan.
11:30 pm
TraderKate

disregard my ramblings
11:31 pm
TraderKate

... so your nes best-est friend will have a pick-up truck?
11:31 pm
stidmama

LOL it's okay kate -- the fire was in March. The insurance company has us in an apartment, and they were renting furniture for us, but it was so uncomfortable (much too big for us, and made my physical limitations worse), so we are replacing our furniture now instead of after the house is built.
11:31 pm
TraderKate

you are right, no one can get a decent night's sleep on an air mattress....
11:31 pm
stidmama

We have friends with trucks, but IKEA is way the heck and gone distant from us. So only in a real emergency.
11:32 pm

oh! so that is the "crush"!! it makes sense now...

that would be nice for her!
11:47 pm
stidmama

so frustrating when a computer has issues like that, have you tried clearing the cache? Sometimes there is something weird that "sticks" even after a reboot.
11:49 pm
TraderKate

she doesn't usually dop out with no salutations... a phone call or something must be keeping her.... i forget how to clear the cache, it's been ages- but the lap top i am on was wiped clean and cjompletely reset (for sale) prior to my getting my paws on it...
11:50 pm
TraderKate

it may be something to do with XP or this particular type of lappie ( IBM thinkpad 43) i had the same problem with my own (same lappie)
11:51 pm
joso

do you have air conditioning TK
11:52 pm
TraderKate

no i don't joso, but i do have the lappie slightlt elevated, so air gets underneath it.
11:52 pm

and it's not that hot or humid atm
11:52 pm

that's good, I do the same with mine

put your fingers near the air vent exit, is it very warm?
11:54 pm

hi stid, howyadoin?
11:55 pm
stidmama

not bad, joso -- Tom just made sandwiches for our supper and salad. :-D I am so pampered
11:55 pm
stidmama

how about you?
11:56 pm
stidmama

kate, we "blew out" the parts of my laptop a week or so ago (took off the back and gently cleared the muck off the fan). It's amazing how fast it accumulates! If your fan seems to be running constantly, it might be dust inside.
11:56 pm
TraderKate

only place i feel any heat is center underneath, but not hot, just a bit warm. think air vent is on the left on this contraption...looks like the right kind of "fins"
