not so badly, dear. youngest son and wife attended first counselling session yesterday afternoon. turned up here this AM looking like how they should be, two kids very much in love.
2:43 am

yeah kind of. It was lovely to come home in a really quiet house and have a peaceful evening. Afterpain after overtaxing is bad due to the new meds. But otherwise I am fine now :)
2:43 am

Thats really good Rose
2:44 am

oh rose, I am SO glad! My husband and I did the same thing and it made all the difference for our marriage. Learning how to communicate together is imperative.
2:44 am

and you yourself, rose?

Glad to hear you are good, pug :)
2:44 am

why do the young folk think they don't have to work at a marriage?
2:45 am
grannyrose

sprite, twinges in both right knee and left ankle...nothing i can't handle...lol
2:45 am
sprite

I have no idea, rose. But sometimes it seems to me young people nowadays think everything will roll their way.
2:45 am
sprite

*sends gentle healing vibes to rose's legs*
Any news on the work front?
2:46 am
grannyrose

oh, so totally with you, sprite. if it's not the material aspects, like house, job etc, it's the emotional stuff.
2:46 am
puglet

Most of the time I think they are blinded by love and think it will be that way for all the days ahead-lol
2:47 am
grannyrose

sprite, have next week off as well. have to file a new claim, and be examined by an independent medical examiner. lol, told my boss, by the time THAT appointment rolls around, i will probably be back at work...
2:47 am
sprite

it is something I have discussions with my son about... that he seems to think he has a RIGHT to everything good. And I keep telling him, yes he kind of has, but he has to work to make it his. He has the right to work towards his goals. That's about it.
2:48 am
sprite

lol rose! But still, very good. Let them check it out. Any other doctor will say the very same thing. And please take it easy with going back to work.
2:48 am
sprite

pug: that too, but that is of all times, I think :D
2:48 am
grannyrose

so true, sprite. and i never told my kids it would all be handed to them on a silver platter. they saw how hard i had to work...
2:51 am
grannyrose

ah well, at least son has changed his mind about the stand he took last tuesday. the counsellor i got them into is excellent. christian-based, too. she is in her mid-60's, so has been around the block a few times.
2:51 am
sprite

our son works in a supermarket. They asked him to start working for once at 6 am. He is very indignant they had the nerve to ask and is doing all he can to make somebody else do it. I watch it and am baffled. We would have simply set our alarm clock and arrived on time.
2:51 am
sprite

rose, that is marvellous. Well done!
2:51 am
grannyrose

ROFLOL...sprite that is so funny...
2:52 am

2:53 am

yes, sprite, they BOTH like her. and have committed themselves to on-going help. they both recognise they have issues to deal with.
2:54 am

I hope they are now telling you how right you were, rose :)
2:57 am

side note: so that nice Qu there in the corner is just a waste of space today??
2:57 am
grannyrose

well, it's true, sprite. my DH was astounded when we were first married, and i got up at 5:30am in order to prepare myself for a 7:30am shift.
2:58 am
grannyrose

sprite, qu is used once, sq5/20
2:59 am
grannyrose

*giggle* i don't push it, sprite.
2:59 am
sprite

yeah. My husband still starts work at 7 am and has to leave home around 6 to be there on time. And I always worked that early too. I mean, what is the hassle? Set alarm clock, get up, do your morning routine and go to work. Easy as pie. Though sleepy-eyed sometimes, but jeezzz, if that is the worst part...
2:59 am
puglet

I know several young people in my circle of friends that stays in bed until noon or better. To me the whole day is gone by then
2:59 am
sprite

lol rose... you wise woman :D
3:00 am
sprite

pug, I couldn't agree more. Left to his own devices my son does the same thing. I know the puber hormones change their sleeping rhythm, but there is such a thing as overdoing it.
3:01 am
sprite

thanks for the sq!
3:01 am
grannyrose

besides, sprite, tell him it's a learning curve...
3:01 am
puglet

I have worked all three shifts during my working days, and I still get up with the dawn.
3:02 am
sprite

also very true.
3:02 am
grannyrose

prepares him for real life. babies don't have a clock, they just yell when they are hungry...
3:02 am
sprite

it is as simple as that, rose.
3:02 am
puglet

Even when I lived at home we had to get up and deliever papers before school
3:03 am
sprite

I keep wanting to enter garnet.
3:03 am
grannyrose

ditto, pugs. the night shift was the hardest. i had to stay up until the kids went to school, about 8-8:30am, then be up again at 3pm to go pick them up.
3:04 am
sprite

ouch, that is tough indeed, rose.
3:04 am
grannyrose

oh, pugs, don't start me on that track. paper deliveries...
3:05 am
puglet

Yeah I think 3rd shift is the hardest too but you got to do what ya gotta do
3:05 am
sprite

baby sitting, cleaning, supermarket. When didn't we work?
3:05 am

imean, how do you send a 12 year-old out at 5am, in howling winds and poring rain.
3:05 am

I started working at about 7, as soon as I was tall enough to use the cash register in my father's candy store. And he would leave me alone there, for an hour a day, while he went to pick up my mother from her work.

3:26 am
puglet

Sprite maybe your mom done the best she could--was her mom like that too
3:26 am
sprite

no, her mother still managed very well until into her 80s. And yes, of course you are right. Only the best she could (and the best my father could) left me handicapped for life. So that kind of sucks.
3:27 am
rubyfoo

no, pugs, it was just a \NY-style candy store with a fountain, newspapers, books, toys, cigarettes and cigars, andy, magazines, comic books, greeting cards, you name it! It was wonderful

3:37 am

3:38 am
puglet

3:38 am

hi all. Got a kick out of the definition of a new word I monkeyed earlier today. It's an sq (are there more than one today?) meaning " to produce an output that oscillates between a certain maximum and zero, especially when due to the effect of a grid." ... especially when Lickety isn't around.
5:14 am
zoozzoom

The only one i have is the SQ5/20 you are describing, Jwr.
5:14 am
jwr

hmm - looks like I'm speaking to an empty room again. Ah well, I'll just go back the word list and just chortle to myself once in awhile. Bye y'all.
5:15 am
zoozzoom

Sorry...was making a cup of tea.
5:15 am
jwr

Aha? Zoom is here. That's the one. Was it new to you too -- or are you into electronics?
5:16 am
zoozzoom

I am sure i have seen it before in the grids..but not a word i have needed to use...lol
5:19 am
jwr

I may have missed it because I don't push to finish grids when I don't have the time (no fun then), and I'm sure I would have remembered it since it's so odd: a compound word.
5:20 am
jwr

I'll remember it now, though, for sure. And as you say, it won't ever get used otherwise.
5:21 am
zoozzoom

It can also be spelt with a KW i see!
5:25 am
grannyrose

back..cooee zooz and jwr
5:25 am
zoozzoom

Teehee that was in yesterdays grid, ((Rose))
5:26 am
grannyrose

yeah, i know, couldn't use it as a greeting
5:26 am
jwr

Really? Didn't see that. Probably won't stick though since it doesn't glue together the same words that make it memorable. Sometimes I get such a kick out of babble/ Hi rose. Cooee was yeste -- oops - zooz beat me to it. or "snap" as you say.
5:27 am
jwr

We're talking about the SQ, rose. I'm sure you have it.
5:28 am
grannyrose

yes, jwr. it certainly is a weird word
5:28 am
jwr

If you go back to 5:11, you'll see what I've been ticked about.
5:29 am
grannyrose

another weird one is the av5
5:30 am
zoozzoom

Av 5/16 Rose, that one?
5:30 am
grannyrose

yes, zooz. once you see the definition it makes sense
5:30 am
jwr

That's right. I was doing a quick lurk (I call them in-and-outs) earlier when someone made a joke about that one, I think -- about doing it with an American Southern accent.
5:33 am
grannyrose

ah, just checked zooz, no. the av5/20
5:33 am
jwr

... yes the 5/20
5:34 am
grannyrose

it's the last of the 5 av's
5:34 am
zoozzoom

Ahh ok..just checked the Def..and could not get what you meant...thank you..will look for the AV 5/20
5:34 am
grannyrose

broad definition plane fuel
5:36 am
zoozzoom

Yep got it!
5:36 am
grannyrose

also the le7/8 combo was new to me. foliage + era
5:36 am
zoozzoom

For piston engines.
5:37 am
grannyrose

also oa5/16. different plural for oa4, thugs
5:38 am
jwr

the 7/48 & 8/65? I think that's one of the ones that made jillibus give up in disgust and poof away saying there were too many made-up words in the grid today.
5:38 am
grannyrose

yeah, jwr
5:39 am
grannyrose

there is sa6/7 combo. type of sport, like boxing, using hands and feet
5:41 am
grannyrose

tr6/30, no meaning in dictionary.com. it is the la4 tr...
5:41 am
jwr

That got me too, until I realized it was pronounced, a la francais, without the final letter
5:42 am
grannyrose

yes, like se5/12. mostly se4 in the bible, between verses
5:43 am
jwr

...talking about the boxing one. Sorry I'm getting some chats online now so I have to pay attention to work for a bit.
5:47 am
grannyrose

how rude, work interfering with babble..lol
5:47 am
jwr

back, sort of. I think this chatter will be back again soon though. ... rose, don't have the se 5/12; will work on it (I've got 208 so have quite a way to go) but since I'm in such a giggly mood tonight, you made me think about all the hidden meanings between/behind biblical verses.
5:48 am
grannyrose

ahhh, se5, se + ***,***, singing
5:49 am

har=dee-har. Who said it was interfering? It keeps me sane.

1:40 pm
jmcnrick

people will bring food. . . even if I asked them not to!
1:41 pm
jmcnrick

i hope they bring beer...most of the veggies are from my garden so the price is right. . .
1:41 pm

olive oil, lemon juice, mustard dressing?
1:41 pm
lideola

olive oil, a little lemon zest, a light vinegar (white or red wine), salt and pepper
1:42 pm
dianedecoder

hmmmm..... something light and oily, with a bit of zip. I use Balsamic often.
1:42 pm
jmcnrick

yum that sounds great. . . and i bought a whole bag of lemons thinking i would make lemonade so it will even be fresh lemon. . .
1:42 pm
jmcnrick

lemon zest sounds like a good touch too!
1:43 pm
jmcnrick

i just bought a big jar of dijon mustard. . .
1:43 pm
dianedecoder

Now my mouth is watering, and I just had a big brunch about 2 hours ago !
1:43 pm
lideola

toasted almond slivers would be good, too.
1:44 pm
jmcnrick

its six pounds of potatoes and a couple of pounds of green beans from my garden. . .
1:44 pm
xeiluj

Dress it whilst the potatoes are warm, takes the dressing better. Also crispy bacon placed on top is good
1:44 pm
jmcnrick

i have walnuts. . . pesto making is on the horizon. . . what would you think about walnuts. . .
1:44 pm
lideola

i second the bacon
1:45 pm
jmcnrick

alas to many vegetarians among my friends for the bacon. . .which i dearly love!
1:45 pm
lbdawger

walnuts can be bitter. but if you like them use them
1:45 pm
dianedecoder

we are eating our own potatoes and yellow beans at the moment... tomatoes coming at about 5 a day... love the fresh stuff.
1:45 pm
jmcnrick

potatoes were cooked yesterday so i will have to dress it at room temp today. . ..
1:46 pm
lbdawger

my tomatoes are still very small and green. this time last year I had a bounty of lovely red maters.
1:46 pm
dianedecoder

It sounded colourful and simple the way it was... just choose a nice dressing.
1:46 pm
jmcnrick

not so much that i like them but they are a cheaper alternative to pine nuts for the pesto
1:46 pm
lbdawger

walnuts in pesto...that's doable. lots of parm!
1:47 pm
jmcnrick

i have had a few tomatoes. . .my sister and another gardener in the community garden have had tons!
1:47 pm
lideola

i wouldn't do walnuts. Maybe sesame seeds
1:47 pm
lbdawger

I've made pesto with cashews too.
1:47 pm
jmcnrick

yes toasted walnuts with the pine nuts stretches the budget a little. . .
1:47 pm
lideola

you can also make it with sunflower seeds
1:47 pm
lideola

pesto, I mean
1:48 pm
jmcnrick

i saw giada make pesto with toasted walnuts which is what ga** me the idea. . .
1:48 pm
lbdawger

my herbs aren't doing well this year either. however, the cilantro is growing like weeds
1:49 pm
lbdawger

I think you can make pesto with just about anything.
1:49 pm
lbdawger

I've even seen it made without basil
1:49 pm
lideola

Yes, I've seen it with baby spinach
1:49 pm
jmcnrick

my greek oregano died. . . but the thyme and rosemary are doing fine. . . and the bay tree is now 20 ft tall!
1:50 pm
jmcnrick

i am sorry but i think pesto with out basil is depressing. . .
1:51 pm
lbdawger

I think pesto without basil isn't pesto. i'd love to have a bay tree. lucky you!
1:51 pm
jmcnrick

i freeze it for a little summer in the middle of winter. . .
1:52 pm
jmcnrick

i use my tupperware hamburger patty holders and they hold just enough pesto for dinner for two....
1:52 pm
lbdawger

I've put them in ice cube trays and frozen them that way. a couple cubes for dinner.
1:53 pm
jmcnrick

i tried several times to get my bay tree growing. . . one year i asked my mother for a bay tree for christmas and the boy said "why? you have a 10 ft tall one in the back yard." And sure enough i did! it was hiding behind the butterfly bush!
1:54 pm
dianedecoder

...same as laurel, right ?
1:54 pm
jmcnrick

i did the ice cube trays too until i got these hamburger patty holders. . .they stack so nicely in the freezer
1:54 pm
lbdawger

yes, bay and laurel are the same.
1:54 pm
jmcnrick

yes. . .it is a kind of laurel. . .
1:55 pm
jmcnrick

i cut off branches and sell them for a fundraiser for a scholarship fund at my meeting. . .
1:55 pm
lbdawger

i'll have to keep my eyes open for the hamburger patty holders. that sounds like a good idea for other things.
1:56 pm
jmcnrick

last time i sold them this woman told me that she put several bay leafs in olive oil and roasted them briefly and then roasted potatoes in them. . .sounds great and i would be able to sell more bay leafs!
1:56 pm
dianedecoder

I only use bay le6/27 in soups and stews.... I guess I should get more adventuresome !
1:56 pm
dianedecoder

aha.... just saw idea #1 :-)
1:56 pm
jmcnrick

i got them from a tupperware party years ago but i think you can get tupperware online now
1:57 pm

i had never thought of it either but it sounded wonderful!

1:58 pm
jmcnrick

olive oil, lemon juice and dijon mustard. . .
1:58 pm

Hello MollyL!How are you doing today? Welcome to the log
3:20 pm
MollyL

Hi Min, I'm good, how are you?
3:20 pm
Minveryork

I am well,however, I think I might have gotten a lemon car
3:20 pm
MollyL

Oh no
3:21 pm
Minveryork

I just got my car back from Subaru.Subaru had it for over a month trying to fix something. I got it back yesterday only to find out the AC does not work. Bringing it back Monday.
3:22 pm
MollyL

Oh how frustrating.
3:23 pm
Soodle

They had it for a month??? Yikes.
3:24 pm
bichon

Did the AC work before then?
3:24 pm
Soodle

And Hi Min, Molls :-)
3:24 pm
Minveryork

I am wondering how many problems you need to have with a car before it can officially be called a lemon.
3:24 pm
Soodle

Sorry. Hi Bich. :-)
3:24 pm
MollyL

Do some Google research on The Lemon Law, Min.
3:24 pm
Soodle

How old is it Min?
3:24 pm
bichon

Hi Sood, Min, Molly
3:24 pm
Minveryork

Yes,the air conditioning worked just fine before.It's weird.
3:25 pm
bichon

Is it the same car?
3:25 pm
Minveryork

The car six months old. I got the car in March.
3:25 pm
MollyL

The Lemon Law in your State, I meant to say.
3:26 pm
bichon

New or used?
3:26 pm
Minveryork

New, 2013
3:27 pm
bichon

Definitely lemon law material. Get on their case. I would think it's still under warranty and they should give you a loaner.
3:29 pm
Minveryork

They gave me loaner car the whole time they just had car.
3:29 pm
Soodle

I just googled Lemon Law. What a marvelous piece of legislation.
3:30 pm
bichon

They don't have it in Ireland. Get to work Soods. It's a great cause.
3:30 pm
Minveryork

Do they have the lemon law in your country as well Soodle?
3:32 pm
Soodle

No, Min. Here, if you buy a new car & you have tons of problems with, it's called a Monday Car. Meaning it was assembled on a Monday, when the workers were 'below par' . Another example of Irish euphanisms.
3:33 pm
bichon

I remember the first Toyota we got. It was assembled in Canada and we were so happy that it wasn't a US made car
3:33 pm
Minveryork

I like that Monday car.I wonder why they call it lemon here
3:34 pm
bichon

Think of eating a lemon, it give's you a sour taste
3:34 pm
Minveryork

Problem I had was a problem I had NEVER heard of before.
3:35 pm
Minveryork

The key got stuck in the ignition and it wouldn't come out.
3:35 pm
bichon

Subaru's are supposed to last forever. They really should give you a new car.
3:36 pm
Soodle

Still, it must be very frustrating to have bought a brand new car & have so much trouble from it. :-(
3:36 pm
MollyL

Found this on line...It seems most likely that that the use of a ‘lemon’ as a bad car came from another British slang term from the early 1900’s in which “to hand someone a lemon” was "to pass off a sub-standard article as a good one."
3:36 pm
Minveryork

Also, the driver's se4/4 got stuck & was impossible to move
3:36 pm
bichon

It took them a month to replace the ignition? Did they work on it on alternate Mondays?
3:36 pm
hego

Oops, sorry molly. for aome reason I thought Minver was you.
3:36 pm
Soodle

Lol Bich!
3:36 pm
hego

Hi All
3:37 pm
bichon

We had two GM cars which were total lemons. After that we only have driven Toyota's
3:37 pm
Minveryork

That is really funny bichon! They said when they hooked it up to the computer,it couldn't tell them exactly which part they needed. So they kept ordering the wrong part for it.
3:37 pm
hego

Good choice Bichon.
3:38 pm
bichon

Hi hego
3:38 pm
Soodle

Sounds like a Monday car Min. I'd definitely be demanding a replacement. A Tuesday or Wednesday model.
3:38 pm
bichon

I would get a Honda or a Nissan, but never an American car. I am patriotic except when it comes to durability
3:39 pm
Minveryork

They had to order one of the parts from Japan because it's not sold anywhere in the U.S.Part comes from Japan and it turns out to be the wrong part. So much for technology!
3:39 pm
Minveryork

Hello hego! How are you doing today? Welcome to the grid

Don't think that General Motors makes Subarus. I based my decision to get my Subaru after reading Consumer Reports.
3:41 pm
bichon

We have had our Toyota's forever. I think they may become lifetime cars.
3:42 pm
bichon

Yes, Subaru's have a great reputation..
3:42 pm
Soodle

My little car is a hyundai. It was making strange noises last week. Usually, when this happens, I turn up the volume on the radio. Sadly, the weird noises got worse. The garage man told me it was on it's last legs. I was gutted. I felt the very same as when the vet told me he was going to have to put my dog down. :-(
3:42 pm
hego

awww.........
3:43 pm
bichon

How many miles on it Soodle? Or Km's?
3:43 pm
MollyL

Bich, I feel the same way about American cars. Been driving Hyundais for 15 years.
3:44 pm
Soodle

Its a 2003 car, with 180 K miles. Its been a reliable, trusty, stalwart little motor, and I mourn it's impending demise.
3:45 pm
Soodle

I also wonder what the heck I'm gonna do when it finally lies down & dies....
3:46 pm
MollyL

Soodle, my last Hyundai lasted over ten years and I sniffed and waved goodbye as they towed it off to the place I donated it.
3:46 pm
bichon

Our 2001 Corolla has 65 K miles on it. It will be with us forever
3:47 pm
Soodle

Long live Bich's Toyota!
3:47 pm
MollyL

I love "stalwart" to describe a car. It's like it is a relative of The Little Engine That Could. : D
3:48 pm
bichon

When my Mom stopped driving she gave us her 2003 Toyota Avalon [more upscale]. I think the Corolla outperforms it.
3:50 pm
Soodle

I'm not sure if the names of cars are the same in the US as here. My 'stalwart' little chariot is a Hyundai Accent. My son was horrified when I bought it. A very uncool car. To this day, he refers to it as the Hyundai Accident.
3:51 pm
bichon

Yes, when we were in Britain this summer the cars had totally different names
3:51 pm
MollyL

Yep, we have Hyundai Accents here. I have an Elantra.
3:52 pm
BzznBea

My daughters drove a Hyundai Accent into the ground. Still running well when traded off for the Hyundai Sonata.
3:52 pm
Minveryork

My Subaru is the first automatic I purchased.I miss driving a stick. I've always driven a stick shift, but I think stick shifts will soon become obsolete. That's why I got an automatic.
3:53 pm

3:56 pm
Soodle

My son, Paul, (the relative formerly known as Son of Soodle), has a VW golf, but modified. A big vroom vroom exhaust & a dixie horn. I was driving it while my own car was in the repair shop. I bamboozled other 'boy racers'. They saw the souped up car, then when they got alongside, they saw this menopausal woman at the wheel. He he he
3:57 pm
MollyL

He drives a Golf and he was embarrassed about YOUR car??
3:58 pm
Soodle

Oh Molly, modified Golf's are the bizz here.
3:59 pm
MollyL

That's funny : D
4:03 pm
Soodle

Euphemism alert. Before my 'domestic circumstances' changed, I drove a Nissan Navara, & he had a BMW X5. Oooooh, I loved my Navara!
4:07 pm
BzznBea

Thinking about dinner...It makes my brain hurt...
4:08 pm
Soodle

Meanwhile, back in the utility room, the washing machine is being hormonal.....
4:09 pm
Soodle

Bzz. We had salmon, new potatoes & fresh garden peas. Yummy & recommended!
4:09 pm
BzznBea

Except I don't like salmon. Or have any in the freezer...
4:10 pm
MollyL

Mmm, fresh garden peas.
4:10 pm
Soodle

Okay! So whats inthe freezer?
4:11 pm
MollyL

And I could eat salmon every day if it weren't so damn expensive.
4:11 pm
BzznBea

It's not a matter of what is in the freezer. It is a matter of I really don't want to cook or deal with it.
4:12 pm
BzznBea

My peas never make it from the garden to the table. I eat them right out in the garden.
4:12 pm
Soodle

Oh, I forgot to say, I made a cheeky little hollandaise sauce to accompany the salmon. Sublime!
4:13 pm
MollyL

Sounds delicious Soodle. My stuffed chicken breasts pale in comparison.
4:13 pm
Soodle

Bzz. I take it you have the number of local take outs? Go for it!
4:14 pm
BzznBea

I think we will have chicken salad sandwiches with fresh sliced tomatoes and cottage cheese.
4:14 pm
Soodle

Molly, it was divine!
4:16 pm
Soodle

Bzz, as long as the bread is fresh, those sammidges sound like winners.
4:18 pm
BzznBea

Good thing I don't have to decide what to feed the fur kids...Time for their dinner...
4:18 pm

I love Salmon, but will eat only wild fish. All this farmed stuff doesn't really tast like fish.
4:20 pm

fo 6/27, the first one pls.
4:22 pm

That is why I buy my fish at Whole Foods.

4:25 pm
bichon

I get mine at Costco. They quite often have wild fish. They actually have wild Haddock and Cod.
4:37 pm
MollyL

I love shopping at Costco. I don't do it often because it's just two of us and I don't have an extra freezer.
4:40 pm
bichon

After a Costco run, my freezer is bulging. But, I find that for your buck the meat, fish and produce is well worth it.
4:42 pm
uusue2

hi all! We have just found Costco as well - now our shelves are full of gluten-free crackers and our freezer is full of chicken burgers and frozen fruit
4:45 pm
MollyL

I wish I had more freezer room. I have frozen some fresh green beans and some berries while they were a good price this summer. But not as much as I would have liked to.

4:51 pm
uusue2

halibut is a pretty mild fish, I think
4:51 pm
MollyL

I like halibut too, Min.
4:51 pm
Minveryork

I also don't like squash or cabbage, but the squash noodles didn't taste like squash.Cabbage didn't taste like cabbage.

It took me ag4/6 just to find 198 words today. I am not going to accomplish the fe4/7 of finishing grid. I ga4/9 up on grid so here is a story with clues.I ha4/5 flying on airplanes. I ha4/8 not done a va4/7 amount of flying in my life. When I was a te4/4ager I flew out to the ea4/4 coa4/4 to visit my friend in California. It was the worst experience of my life. Things got quite te5/10. I wasn't able to fly with ea 4/4 because the airplane had engine failure. When plane st 4/4ted to go down, stewardesses sugge4/6ed everyone to fa 6/27 their se 4/4 belts. The plane descended very quickly.As we were going down, I realized the plane wasn't going to make it to its ga4/7. As I grabbed my oxygen ge 4/6, te 4/4s were streaming down my face and I thought this is my fa 4/7. I was not meant to live long. I prayed that an angel with a ha4/5 would sa4/7 everyone on the airplane. I think someone heard my prayers because as we got ne 4/4 the ground, the pilot was able to land this plane sa 4/7ly. That was the la4/4 time I ever flew on an airplane. I ha 4/8 tried to er5/10 the memory of that flight, but I can't.I'm now a fe 6/27 of flying and I fe4/7 airplanes. I will never go on a plane ever again. It is a good thing I don't ea4/4 a living as a traveling sa 4/4s person. Husband wants the computer. I am going to give it to him before he begins to ra 4/4 and ra 4/7. I am going to le 5/16 Babbleland now and go watch the film The Fa 4/7 and the Furious. By the way,my ta4/4 is not true.I will be back la4/4r on tonight to chat w/others & to help out with more clues.

the plumber was there today laying the pipes. Then I think the reinforcements go in and then I think he puts the pex tubing for the heat (or maybe he'll lay the pex tomorrow and then they reinforce after?). He says they will be able to pour the slab sometime next week. I am so excited!
5:52 pm

5:56 pm
Anniebrook

Stid, but you will be moving into a new house.
5:57 pm
stidmama

Yes, and as finished as I can afford. I was trying to set things up for some pretty specific enhancements like a lateral drain in the master shower, but the best I will be able to do for now is pretty standard stuff. I just can't afford $500 just for a drain when a normal $35 one will do!
5:58 pm
Anniebrook

$500 seems like a lot of money for a drain.
5:58 pm
stidmama

But it is interesting to look at what is available and talk to people who have actually installed things to help me decide if they work or just look good.
5:59 pm
stidmama

LOL that's what I thought! I would rather spend that money on a better range for the kitchen.

Annie, one of my sons-in-law was brought up in Brooklyn (I know that is such a small community, LOL) his last name was Olsen.....he would be about 77 now.....
7:41 pm
gapeach

I guess I should have asked how long have you lived there.
7:41 pm
Anniebrook

peach, I dont know him but by his last name I am guessing he lived in Bay Ridge
7:42 pm
Anniebrook

I grew up in Manhattan and when I married I lived in Manhattan for a short time then we moved to Brooklyn. I have lived in Bklyn for over 50 years.
7:43 pm
gapeach

Do you see many plays?
7:44 pm
Anniebrook

I used to go all the time but now I am very close to 80 years of age so it is hard for me to get into the city.
7:45 pm
Anniebrook


The last play I saw was Jersey Boys and I loved it
7:46 pm
gapeach

I've been there (briefly) once. Would have loved to see some plays....lived in Norwich, CT for 7 years....but had had two small strokes and it was just too much trouble to get into the city.
7:48 pm
Anniebrook

I could understand how difficult that would be. My daughter lives in CT. You must have been very young when you had the strokes/
7:48 pm
gapeach

I bet it was good. I've seen some in Atlanta at the Fox....saw Yul Brynner in "The King and I" and several others.
7:48 pm
Anniebrook

LOL. I saw Yul Brynner on Broadway (a hundred years ago)..Wasn't he marvelous?
7:49 pm
gapeach

I was 62. I was lucky.
7:49 pm
gapeach

Indeed, he was.
7:49 pm
Anniebrook

Yes, thank goodness. You were lucky. Glad you are here to babble.
7:50 pm
Anniebrook

How long are you living in Georgia?
7:50 pm
Anniebrook

I think it is Georgia?
7:51 pm
gapeach

Due to Elder Abuse, I had to move back to GA in 2009. If I had not left there, I do not believe I would be here to Babble....LOL
7:52 pm
Anniebrook

Oh my God. very glad you escaped that horror.
7:52 pm
gapeach

I left KY in 1977 and came to Augusta, GA and lived here until the strokes in 2002.
7:53 pm
gapeach

Oh, where in CT does your daughter live?
7:53 pm
Anniebrook

She lives in Wilton. peach, I am glad you are safe.

7:56 pm

I was trying to look up Wilton, but the print is so small in my Atlas.....just wondered if it was near Norwich.
7:57 pm
Anniebrook

peach, I dont know where Norwich is but Wilton is sort of near Westport
7:58 pm
Anniebrook

and its nearer to Norwalk
7:58 pm
MollyL

Wilton is about 75 miles from Norwich.
7:59 pm
gapeach

I don't think it is near Norwich.....not too much is, really. It was chosen because it is half way between each of their work places.
7:59 pm
Anniebrook

so Norwich is north of Wilton
7:59 pm
gapeach

Which way, Molly?
8:01 pm
Anniebrook

peach, it was nice chatting with you. I hope all your days are peaceful and full of babble. I'm going to do some reading and then to bed. gnite.

she had the gall to show up at my clinic last week, looking for him. said they weren't done. I said "you aren't done? you broke up with him. you broke up with him in a horribly rude and inconsiderate way, posting pictures of yourself kissing another guy and declaring your engagement to him on facebook. you ARE DONE, that's what 'broke up' means.
10:01 pm

OMG!!! What kind of an idiot is she? I hope he wasn't there
10:02 pm
jesdraggon

she (again, of course) accused me of not being a good parent, and not actually caring for the kid, and being selfish, and asked what happened to being supportive of him. I think she was a bit taken aback when I said "You. YOU are what happened to being supportive. You with your lies, you with your threats, you with your manipulation. YOU are what happened." Then she threatened to call the cops if I wouldn't let her speak to him. I laughed at her, wished her luck with that, and told her to leave my business and not return.
10:03 pm

Lucky for her, she did, or I would have offered her the phone to talk to the cops, so she could explain why she was trespassing, harassing and threatening me, and interfering with my business.

he wasn't working that day, so no, he wasn't there. but he'd witnessed her crazy directly the weekend before, when we were all in town and she started calling his dad's phone and swearing incoherently at him. Asked him why he called her ("i didn't"), then accused him of fucking her ("I didn't do that either"). he hung up on her, she called back and swore at him some more, so he hung up on her again.
10:06 pm
jesdraggon

she CALLED BACK (this was on speaker phone so the kid heard both sides) and Bruce asked if she was drunk. She (and the person in the background) started giggling uncontrollably and then she managed to get out "i'm not <i>drinking</i>" and went back to giggling. Bruce asked if she was high, which was just met with more giggles.
10:06 pm
jesdraggon

Then she asked if he knew who she was, and he said he only knows one 14 year old stupid enough to get high and call him, and hung up on her again.
10:06 pm
jesdraggon

She called back twice more, but he ignored both calls. Kid was mortified.

10:16 pm

the kids live with the mother's mother, who is seriously lacking in both intelligence and spine, and lets the twit order her around and run the household. mother also lives there, but spends most of her time locked in her bedroom ignoring the kids.

10:18 pm
Nef

My son was laid off with 1/3 of the salaried company back around Halloween, and he had vacation and sick time through Jan. 1, then severance pay and benefits through April 30th. DIL is bipolar and during her last manic phase (in April) she took out 4 credit cards and maxed them out (around $10,000 or more, neither will tell us the whole amount). Our son was working way above his education after 9 years at his former workplace and he didn't have the certifications necessary to be hired at the level he was used to working at. He's taken a bunch of courses through a state program and now has all of the certifications done; he's been doing 2 free lance jobs and is applying for permanent positions; but the $$$ isn't there to pay off her debts too.

depends on the state you live in, joso. washington is a 'community property' state, so any debt or assets accrued after marriage are shared.
10:33 pm

keep hubbies money separate, she can declare bankruptcy separately. this used to be true, but the financial firms have jury rigged so much of the system in the states that I don't know if it is still possible.
10:38 pm
joso

then get divorced and live in sin, continue to live together and love each other but get the finances separated. must remember it is a chemical imbalance of the brain, truly not her fault, support can help, and tinkering with doses and drugs have a good chance of sorting it out over time, but be ready for a wild ride, and take practical steps.

10:46 pm

the rules are different even between states in the States, guys... options will really depend on where they declared residence at the time the debt was racked up.
10:46 pm

in the US, a lot of states have different laws than others. SO it all depends on where you live I guess.
10:47 pm

It's hard to keep up with the state's fiscal laws, I know cc debt no longer goes away with bankruptcy, and student debt is also very sticky now, lobbies are steadily sticking it to the average joe.
10:52 pm
Nef

DIL hasn't worked in 5 years; I doubt if she can live on her own at this point because of her crazy thinking. I wish she'd stop using the internet because she goes to all the "Ntural" sites instead of using it to help herself. She won't stay on her meds and she gets all sorts of weird ideas from her on-line "friends"
10:56 pm
joso

sounds familiar, seems to be a strong desire to deny your mind is working against you, Uncle joe used to get on an even keel, then after 3-4-5 years stop taking the meds, believing himself cured. The lows can be bad too, not believing it is worth getting up for anything, staying in the same chair for days regardless of the need for food or the call of nature.

But she has a habit of making nasty remarks that cut to the quick and I've become super sensitive to her nasty cuts about my housekeeping and cleanliness. I keep a neat house, but she's always complaining about my "clutter" and "all the dust and cat hair" around. I thoroughly vacuum once a week and I run my Roombas 1-2 times a week; but she is always talking about how dirty my house is (and my grandson has repeated it too)

11:04 pm

jes, the first 3 days they were here I called the cops because I couldn't stand her continual fighting. The woman officer told her that if she sees something dirty, she should clean it herself; and that she needs to go to the Dorothy Day Center with the officer to see what happens when you don't have relatives that care about you.
11:05 pm

For the le7/8, add how old someone is.

You know, joso, you have a good idea there. I think the counseling is the right plan.
11:12 pm
Nef

As far as what and why this all started; I really believe that she did well til she got pregnant and went off her meds. *I* think she went through some peri/post partum depression; she has been in denial about that for years; but in April (when she was hospitalized) she said she thought that may have been the start of this.

You are not the first person to deal with this, tap that knowledge. A chat group of people in a similar situation can guide you to all sorts of help, and let you vent to those who understand. Babble is one of the kindest places I know, but talking to those who truly understand because they are dealing with the same thing is also good.
