jillibus

McLeach

12:46 am

jillibus

okay, I'll start again. Mitch, the link you gave doesn't work for me. Any idea why?

12:46 am

McLeach

anyway, alternatively, go to YouTube and search for Kip Addotta Life in the Slaw Lane

12:46 am

McLeach

I have no idea, Kathy. Or would you prefer Alice?

12:46 am

McLeach

12:51 am

flosey

12:51 am

gapeach

Doing OK really....still have the headache that I've had for several days.....I think it may be the weather.

flosey

12:52 am

flosey

hope you get rid of that headache soon, they can be nasty

12:54 am

jillibus

mixi, no
appeared for me. But I got it via McLeach's saying Kip Adotta etc, and it;s a megaGROAN, very appropriate for ruru.

12:55 am

gapeach

Thanks, flosey. Please say one for me. Thanks

12:55 am

McLeach

glad you were able to find it, jilli

12:55 am

1:21 am

puglet

Iam going good so far

1:21 am

night Jilli

1:21 am

sprite

good to hear, peach and pug. Hanging in there, huh. *hugs*

1:22 am

grannyrose

well, said daughter has filled her up on sugar, AGAIN, and ended sitting with her mother in the emergency room until 1:30am.

1:22 am

sprite

night jilli, sweet dreams!

1:22 am

puglet

youre joking!

1:22 am

sprite

am really sorry to hear that, rose, but can't help being a bit wickedly pleased that for once daughter had to take care of the results herself.

1:22 am

gapeach

Thanks, sprite.....hugs back.

1:22 am

grannyrose

mother's lungs have filled up with the bug and fluid...she just will not listen to me.

1:23 am

sprite

thanks, peach :)

1:23 am

sprite

she is either stupid or evil. I think stupid. Guess she didn't like sitting in the hospital half the night.

1:24 am

grannyrose

btw, sprite, pugs...peach is not fine, she is now into her 6th day of a headache..

1:24 am

grannyrose

yeah, sprite. maybe she will listen now...* in my dreams*

1:25 am

puglet

poor Peach, how awful, will pray for his touch to your pain

1:25 am

gapeach

Thanks, hon.

1:25 am

sprite

*sending calming, healing vibes to peach's poor head*

1:25 am

grannyrose

sprite, how did the appointment go? or is it today?

1:26 am

sprite

it was yesterday, rose, and it went ok. I emailed you about it before opening babble just now. They can't offer me a resident program, alas. But they can offer me one day a week, in a group, for as long as it takes.

1:27 am

grannyrose

sorry to dob you in, peach. * grin *...sending some cooling hands on brow.....unfortunately they are still attached to my arms....will virtual hands do?

1:27 am

sprite

oh, they postponed the intake with the psychiatrist next week, won't be on Monday but on Thursday.

1:27 am

grannyrose

and you took it, sprite?

1:27 am

sprite

either virtual hands or very long arms, rose.

1:27 am

sprite

absolutely, rose.

1:28 am

grannyrose

atta girl, now you have a toe in the door, soon it open with other help for you.

1:28 am

gapeach

Oh, thanks, Rose.....I needed that.

1:29 am

grannyrose

pfft, on postponing your therapist. but still, yet again, you have a toe in the door.

1:29 am

sprite

don't hesitate to ask, and to tell us, peach. We can think of you and pray for you and it really really does help. You guys were with me all the way yesterday.

1:29 am

puglet

Peach you under some stress causing the headaches

1:30 am

sprite

the resident program is only for anorectics, rose. Can't put an obese binge eater among them.

1:32 am

grannyrose

oh, and sprite, pugs. i have told daughter that don and i are unable to go into the hospital for mother's needs. she will have to organise that herself. a touch malicious, perhaps. but i want this to impact on her hard. up til now, don and i have done all the running to and fro.

1:32 am

gapeach

Probably, puglet. It is worse at times, but there is nothing I can do about the stress....it's "family", rather, daughters.

1:32 am

sprite

very good, rose, am proud of you. Yes, let her find out what the results are from going against your informed advice.

1:33 am

rbud

oh, I just want to hug all of you, so many different troubles!!! (anyone wanna hear mine?) ;)

1:33 am

puglet

Rose, she should be the one to take care of this mess

1:33 am

sprite

too much worries, peach :(
We can't take them away, but we can be there for you and help you bear it all.

1:33 am

grannyrose

you don't think i'm being too nasty? maybe i should offer to step in for a day??

1:34 am

sprite

hiya rbud :) Yes of course, do tell.

1:34 am

grannyrose

go for it, rbud.you have the floor

1:34 am

puglet

anytine you need to vent Peach feel free and the same to you Rbud

1:34 am

flosey

oh Peach, sorry to hear that, can understand the stress

1:34 am

sprite

NO rose! You are not being nasty at all. Take care of you and Don for now, that is more than enough. Let daughter clean up her own mess.

1:35 am

gapeach

Hi there, rbud. Appreciate the hugs. Of course you may tell us yours. That's why we are all on the planet at the same time.;

1:35 am

puglet

I agree with Sprite on that Rose

1:35 am

flosey

agree with sprite - rose, it is time for daughter to step in for a while and look after Mom

1:35 am

rbud

bad hernia just above belly button, trying to keep my guts from falling out - not safe to cough or sneeze, mostly uncomfortable but occasionally painful. Have had cat scan, consults with surgeon, ER trip - all in the last week.

1:36 am

puglet

Hi Flosey

1:36 am

sprite

oh dear, rbud :( My husband had the same thing. Had to be operated on, but it worked out perfectly in the end.

1:36 am

flosey

rbut, sorry to hear, does sound quite painful

1:36 am

flosey

hi Pugs

1:36 am

rbud

just need to scrape up the $$$ for an operation and I'm hopefully fixed. might take a little while. but was glad to find out nothing worse was involved, really.

1:37 am

gapeach

Gosh, rbud.....that does need to be tended to. Do you have insurance that will cover it?

1:37 am

sprite

indeed, rbud... it hurts badly when it hurts, doesn't it. I hope you will be able to have the op soon.

1:37 am

grannyrose

hmmm, rbud, you allergic to tapes at all

1:38 am

puglet

I have one too in about the same place--about the size of a grapefruit

1:38 am

rbud

but I can't lift things, or get out of a chair normally, or sleep normally, or eat much... and of course no insurance. but it's not extravagantly over expensive, just not easy to put together.

1:38 am

sprite

*praying for a sudden inflow of moneys for rbud*

1:39 am

rbud

my deepest sympathies, pug, no fun, is it? I have a wrap thingie I wear when it gets too bad.

1:39 am

gapeach

rbud, could you qualify for Medicaid?

1:39 am

grannyrose

rbud, can you reduce it yourself?

1:40 am

rbud

not old enough yet, peach. I can keep pushing it back in, yes, if that's what you mean.

1:40 am

puglet

no its not rbud--I have already had it took care of once

1:41 am

sprite

side note: new word for the babble dictionary.
tengo - for when it takes 10 to tango

1:41 am

puglet

rbud I went to family service and they help with mine but that was a few years ago

1:41 am

grannyrose

yes, rbud. okay...for the time being you are okay. buy some sports tape, non-elastic cloth tape. use it to strap your tummy firmly. it will give your tummy some support.

1:41 am

rbud

I'm at that awkward age between when the kids got too old for me to ride on their medical cards, and being old enough for one of my own. but I've applied for a program through the hospital that will get me a discount, waiting for them to sort through it and approve it.

1:42 am

gapeach

rbud, Medicaid doesn't have an age limit. It covers people who need it.....perhaps you could contact someone there at the hospital or call Medicare and they will tell you whom to contact. Will always be praying for you.

1:42 am

puglet

Iam in the same place Rbud---

1:42 am

rbud

I got an elastic wrap with velcro from the med. supply, it helps.

1:43 am

grannyrose

when you use the tape, paint your tummy with tincture of benzoin, or friar's balsam. it protects your skin and helps the tape stick longer.

1:43 am

gapeach

Will you be going to Springfield for the surgery?

1:43 am

rbud

I suppose I should look into it, but they pretty much told me when Hubs got on disability that there was nothing for me. and the surgery is "elective" - bah.

1:43 am

rbud

No, they'll do it near here, only a few miles away.

1:44 am

grannyrose

yeah, until it strangulates, that is.

1:44 am

rbud

yep. guess they don't believe in the ounce of prevention theory, lol

1:45 am

sprite

stupid of them

1:45 am

grannyrose

rbud, the tape will help. i am mindful that you are heading into warmer weather. giving you a cooler alternative.

1:46 am

rbud

I will check into the tape, you may be right about it being cooler, this big wrap is rather warm to wear. (especially with the occasional hot flash!) :P

1:46 am

puglet

people at the age of rbud and I have trouble getting medical help

1:46 am

grannyrose

duh...you are heading into cooler weather. don't mind me, i'm just an idiot who can't remember the seasons. now where did i put that laptop?

1:47 am

sprite

another new babble word:
feminar - a seminar for women only

1:47 am

sprite

it is behind your ear, rose

1:47 am

grannyrose

lolol, now that one i like, sprite

1:47 am

flosey

must get to bed, 32 to go. Hope you will be able to get this matter properly resolved soon rbud - and pugs too

1:47 am

rbud

lol!!

1:47 am

sprite

:)

1:48 am

grannyrose

not between my ankles? oh, dear!

1:48 am

sprite

bye flosey, sleep well!

1:48 am

flosey

cute one sprite

1:48 am

puglet

night Flosey

1:48 am

grannyrose

xoxox, flosey, sweet dreams, hun

1:48 am

flosey

thanks rose and goodnight all

1:49 am

sprite

thanks, rose and flosey :) The dictionary is gr4ing nicely.

1:49 am

rbud

reminds me of an uncouth friend I had, he always used to say stuff like "if it was up your 'behind' you'd know where it is!" (nonsense, but still funny)

1:49 am

gapeach

Sweet dreams, flosey.

1:49 am

sprite

lol rbud

1:49 am

rbud

nite, flosey!

1:50 am

grannyrose

*chuckle* well you would know if something was there, surely...

1:50 am

puglet

Peach, you need to release some of your stress

1:51 am

rbud

so, pug, you said you'd had yours repaired already? and it came back? the surgeon said that happens a lot, was wondering if it's even worth it.

1:52 am

gapeach

Yes, 'm dear. I know. It is with me constantly. And only I can do it......just have to keep trying. I'm so grateful that I have all of you to calm me when it gets too rough.

1:52 am

sprite

we're here for you, peach, every step of the way. Holding you and praying for you.

1:53 am

puglet

I went in er for another reason and they put me in and ended up having 4 that they repair and it came back about 3 years later

1:54 am

puglet

I hate you are in so much pain and stress Peach

1:54 am

rbud

so how do you deal with it? just be very careful, I suppose, of course?

1:55 am

gapeach

Thank you, dear sprite. You know the same goes for you as well. It seems that we all have problems....and it does help so much to have people who genuinely care about ut.

1:55 am

gapeach

rather, us.

1:55 am

sprite

tape it in as rose said, rbud, and be very careful for now... and pray for lots of money :)

1:55 am

puglet

when it pops out and is hurting I just take it easy during that time

1:55 am

sprite

I couldn't agree more, peach. It makes all the difference. *hug*

1:57 am

puglet

I guess heavy lifting and hard work caused mine over the years

1:59 am

puglet

I hate seeing anyone in pain --- Hugs to you Peach

1:59 am

rbud

I think mine just grew over the years from a little one I'd had since the last kid was born, with normal lifting, etc. Then this spring I was so sick I coughed for days, and it got worse. Plus I tried to help Hubby up when he fell a few times lately.

2:02 am

puglet

mine didnt pop out until working at the nursing home,lifting people.But Ive always packed feed bags and hay when I had horses

2:04 am

rbud

that's some heavy lifting, for sure

2:04 am

puglet

Sprite did you make it to your ride before the rain came,yesterday

2:05 am

sprite

pug, I was so protected all day by all your prayers and good thoughts. Yes, I didn't get a drop of rain, which was pretty amazing considering the weather :)

2:07 am

puglet

thats so good! I like the rain myself. I use to love going walking in it--I think rain is good luck

2:07 am

gapeach

Makes a kind of "shield" around one, doesn't it?

2:08 am

sprite

I don't mind the rain usually, but I didn't have a rain coat and I hate arriving in wet clothes.

2:08 am

sprite

it sure does, peach.

2:08 am

puglet

A shield of loving friends prayers

2:09 am

gapeach

How true, puglet.

2:09 am

sprite

lol... we both must go to the PB, pug. Ra4 is in today's grid.

2:10 am

puglet

I have been caught out in it on the horses and have used a trashbag as a raincoat-lol

2:10 am

sprite

hehehe, nice image

2:13 am

puglet

talking of images, Rose did you like the image I had of you and Don?

2:14 am

puglet

I had a image of Rose and Don wrapped in heavy housecoats with thermometer hanging from their mouths yesterday-lol

2:15 am

grannyrose

yes, pugs, made me smile as it was very close to the truth.

2:16 am

sprite

lol pug :D
I think rose sneaked off to help Don and see to dinner.

2:16 am

sprite

ah ok, I was wrong :P

2:18 am

puglet

Peach, there is a site called Daily Strength and there is a group that Sprite pointed me to called Dont Give Up (isnt Sprite?) and they have some beautiful poems and up lifting stories that makes you feel really good. Plus they have a support group for anything under the sun.

2:19 am

sprite

indeed, peach. A good community there too.

2:20 am

puglet

Rose and Rbud, you might like it as well--didnt mean to leave anyone out

2:20 am

grannyrose

back...nope, it was a potty break.

2:20 am

sprite

bad bad rose, breaking another potty

2:21 am

puglet

sprite, did you read the little story about rootbeer and cupcakes

2:21 am

grannyrose

roflol, sprite. well i don't like chamber music..

2:21 am

sprite

yes I did! Isn't that a lovely story???

2:21 am

gapeach

Thanks puglet, I will get on it. Is it on FB or do I just google it?

2:21 am

puglet

2:21 am

sprite

lol rose :)

2:22 am

gapeach

Chamber music.....good one, Rose. Gotto remember that one. lol

2:22 am

grannyrose

awwww, himself has fallen asleep beside me...ain't it sweet?

2:22 am

puglet

2:22 am

sprite

2:23 am

puglet

chamber music like dark shaddows?

2:24 am

grannyrose

sometime tonight we have to pack our Christmas Child boxes, or at least before sunday. hope everything fits in. it should once we have removed all the packaging.

2:24 am

puglet

sprite, do you guys have halloween there

2:24 am

gapeach

Thanks, sprite. I have written it on my daily list.

2:25 am

sprite

lovely, peach. My handle there is 'spritelet'. Would love to become friends there as well.

2:25 am

sprite

rose, what are Xmas Child boxes?

2:25 am

puglet

where do you send them too Rose or is it for local kids

2:25 am

grannyrose

don and i have daily messages sent to our computers. short readings from the bible. it is amazing how many times The Word is just for us.

2:25 am

sprite

pug: no, we don't. But because everything here becomes more and more american, it is starting to be a thing here too.

2:26 am

puglet

same for me too Peach and mine is the same as here

2:26 am

grannyrose

through our church. we fill the boxes with recommended things, wrsap them, and Operation christmas Child sends them to third world children in time for christmas

2:27 am

gapeach

'm dears, I do believe I need to start getting ready for bed.....a little early for me, but just maybe I can get to sleep at a decent hour. Blessings

2:28 am

puglet

Prayers that He wraps you in his healing arms through out the night..night Peach

2:28 am

grannyrose

xoxox, peach. hope you awake refreshed, minus the headache.

2:28 am

sprite

I hope you will sleep quickly and well, peach. *hugs* Will hold you in my prayers.

2:28 am

puglet

do you use shoeboxes Rose

2:29 am

sprite

that is awesome, rose. We should have something like that too. Will look into it.

2:29 am

grannyrose

not actual shoeboxes, pugs. that is how it all started. we now can purchase boxes, folded flat, ready to be made into boxes.

2:30 am

grannyrose

sprite, google it. it is actually an american based organisation. but world-wide also.

2:31 am

sprite

very good, rose. Will do. We used to do something like that when the kdis were in elementary school.

2:32 am

grannyrose

well, our church makes up baskets of food, about 20-30 for one of our local primary schools. the social worker there works out which families need them, and passes them on. we do it 3-4 times per year.

2:33 am

puglet

thats nice Rose--I miss going to church

2:34 am

sprite

that is nice too.

2:34 am

grannyrose

awww, pugs, is it so difficult to go to a church near you?

2:34 am

sprite

church is wherever you come together to worship, pug. Can be with your husband in your garden, if you want.

2:35 am

grannyrose

*grin* when we make up the school baskets we try to include stuff like candy, and even vouchers for a 'fat' food chain. it gives them a treat they would not other-wise have.

2:36 am

puglet

we have one about a mile from my home but the people didnt make you feel welcome, and where I use to go, our pastor had a stroke and is no longer there.

2:36 am

grannyrose

*fast* but fat works too, lol

2:37 am

puglet

so many of the churches wants to be a place of entertainment and except things thats not to God's words

2:38 am

grannyrose

and yes it is a treat, when your diet is only the recommended amounts from the food pyramid. i don't think the occasional treat like that is out of the question.

2:38 am

sprite

not at all, rose. A treat is healthy for body and mind and spirit.

2:39 am

sprite

this is another grid with teeth, even though teeth is a phantom

2:39 am

puglet

I miss when we were kids going around homes of the elderly singing christmas carols

2:40 am

grannyrose

that's the problem with the young families of today. restraint is not taught as a basic habit...and then they wonder why our kids are overweight. it's not the fast food places at fault, it's the parents for not teaching self-restraint.

2:41 am

sprite

very very true, rose. Am happy to say that even with my eating disorder we raised our kids slim and healthy.

2:41 am

puglet

once on a camping trip with our horses we went to a church service on horseback in the mountains. It was so beautiful there and was such a touching service too

2:42 am

grannyrose

yup, sprite, it is. was getting particularly nasty towards the end, for me...lol

2:42 am

sprite

lol rose :)

2:43 am

grannyrose

awww pugs, what an incredible experience.

2:43 am

sprite

how lovely, pug

2:44 am

puglet

are there any ing words in this grid

2:45 am

sprite

yes, I found one, pug

2:45 am

puglet

okay thanks

2:47 am

grannyrose

do you mean the start or end, pugs?

2:47 am

puglet

congrats Rose on your fws---ending

2:48 am

grannyrose

thanx, pugs...yup, only one word with the gerund finish

2:48 am

grannyrose

te7

2:48 am

sprite

belated YAYYYYY for our rose

2:49 am

puglet

2:49 am

grannyrose

2:49 am

sprite

2:49 am

grannyrose

nice job, pugs, well done

2:50 am

puglet

ty all

2:52 am

puglet

Rose, may I ask why you were out shopping sick?

2:53 am

grannyrose

yup you can pugs...ask away...*grin*

2:53 am

sprite

you already did, pug

2:53 am

puglet

thats not resting and taking it easy

2:53 am

puglet

oh, did I--sorry

2:54 am

grannyrose

because we needed groceries...and DH was still not well enough to go. i don't like to waste money on asking the local to deliver.

2:55 am

puglet

and so now you are paying for that outing?

2:55 am

grannyrose

it was just down the road about 10 minutes. and i used a tissue to cover my mouth and nose when i coughed/sneezed.

2:56 am

grannyrose

not really, dear. nose hase been congested all day, i think this is the flick in the tail of this virus.

2:56 am

puglet

and that wore you out?

2:56 am

sprite

*giggle* Don't say sorry, pug, we are both pulling your leg.

2:56 am

sprite

well, if your body can work it out with a good case of the sniffles, you are doing ok.

2:56 am

puglet

shes sneaky Sprite!

2:57 am

sprite

isn't she just, pug, isn't she just L(

2:57 am

sprite

2:57 am

grannyrose

puglet

2:58 am

grannyrose

oops,,yup that line i shouldn't cross, there it is, 5 fe4 behind me...darn!!

2:58 am

grannyrose

how did it get there??

2:59 am

sprite

I have the feeling rose is very able to judge her limits. I think she wouldn't have gone if she had felt it would be too much.

2:59 am

sprite

lol rose

3:00 am

puglet

lol Sprite! we are talking about Rose are we not?

3:00 am

3:09 am

sprite

I hope so too, rose

3:10 am

grannyrose

ahhh!!!! good...so you do understand me..would never do or say anything to hurt you, my dear.

3:10 am

sprite

you didn't, I can take jibes like nobody's business, grin. Have at it and don't worry :)

3:11 am

grannyrose

my dear, even rhinoscerous hide thins at some point.

3:11 am

sprite

not from your kind of jokes, rose. I love 'm. Please don't worry.

3:14 am

Lizlin

Most people here would not deliberately make hurtful comments. Good natured jiving is affectionate.

3:14 am

Lizlin

Jibing

3:14 am

sprite

I couldn't agree more.

3:15 am

puglet

has any of you seen on tv where this man got tired of his daughter wearing short shorts and he(being kind of chunky) cut off a pair of his pants to make himself a pair of short shorts and went out in public with her. She did not like that at all. lol

3:16 am

sprite

lol pug. Silly man. Let her wear short shorts while she is young and enjoy it.

3:16 am

Lizlin

Too funny!

3:17 am

puglet

when their cheeks hangs out, thats too short

3:17 am

sprite

well yes. True. But when else to experiment with that kind of things? They will get over it soon enough.

3:18 am

snags

may I make an observation?

3:18 am

sprite

always, snags!

3:18 am

Lizlin

So many kids dress like that. Thankfully most gr4 out of it!

3:19 am

puglet

Nice to meet you Snags--yes fire away

3:19 am

snags

Did any of you see Miley Cyrus and the exhibition she put on............. a former Disney child star........

3:20 am

snags

nice meeting you also puglet, sprite

3:20 am

puglet

yes I did, too much of her lately

3:20 am

snags

what did you think of her performance?

3:21 am

puglet

dont want to step on anyones toes but I think its disgusting to say the least

3:22 am

sprite

glad you join our chat, snags. No I didn't see it. Should I google for it?

3:22 am

grannyrose

g'day snags. no. i didn't see

3:22 am

snags

it's just so.......... in such poor taste

3:22 am

snags

hi grannyrose

3:22 am

puglet

no good for roll models for kids today

3:23 am

grannyrose

snags, back to my earlier comment about parents teaching their off-spring restraint??

3:23 am

snags

my daughter buys slutty clothes for her 17 yr old daughter

3:23 am

puglet

its was (what did you call it Rose?) something dancing,but with clothes on

3:24 am

sprite

ok, googled and found it. I think I am with Elton John on this... she is an accident waiting to happen.

3:24 am

grannyrose

ahhhh.horizontal slam-dancing?

3:25 am

sprite

does her daughter want to wear those, snags?

3:25 am

puglet

now shes got a new video out with out clothes on at all

3:25 am

snags

perhaps out of control trying to prove she is now 20 yrs old and not a good girl image

3:25 am

snags

yes sprite she does after all, mom bought them.

3:26 am

sprite

many child stars end up bad, in my opinion. Being a star is not a good environment for raising a child well.

3:26 am

snags

agree

3:26 am

sprite

lol I think my daughter would look at me and say: "You wear them, mum."

3:26 am

snags

good for her sprite

3:27 am

sprite

indeed! Am very proud of her. She has a mind of her own and is not afraid to express it.

3:27 am

puglet

true Sprite but so many young girls think they want to be like them

3:27 am

snags

I just dont get why the parents let the clothing industry tell them how to slut dress their kids

3:27 am

snags

shaking my head

3:28 am

sprite

very true, pug. They only see the glamour. Not the stress and the kissing-up people around them.

3:29 am

sprite

snags, my daughter had a classmate when she was in elementary school. Her mother dressed her like a slut too. And when asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, she literally said: a hooker. She meant it too, having the role model at home, apparently.

3:29 am

snags

well gosh.............. there is the example

3:29 am

sprite

it was so sad. And nothing one can do about it.

3:30 am

puglet

I dont have kids myself but when I visited my sister and her daughter came out in a top that was too revealing for a 13 year old, Her mom says I hate her wearing that and left it at that. I fixed it for her, I ripped the thing into

3:30 am

snags

around my area, cops have picked up moms prostituting her daughter she was 7

3:30 am

grannyrose

snags, it is so sad...but as long as WE have started the fire* by raising our children the correct way*, we are not able to pull the next generation into line. all we can do, is express our disapproval ( in a kindly, gentle way * of where they are, in today's society. it takes an incedible amount of strength to stand firm against what current peer pressure applies.

3:30 am

sprite

wtg pug. Seeing things through when you don't like what they do is so important.

3:31 am

sprite

omg snags... that is horrible

3:31 am

snags

maybe my daughter wished she had dressed that way herself.

3:31 am

snags

yes it's tragic sprite

3:31 am

puglet

sex is everywhere--tv, games you name it

3:32 am

snags

yes even on pinterest.com

3:32 am

sprite

we have always been open about sex towards the children. But we have also always stressed that even though it isn't taboo, it is definitely a private thing.

3:32 am

snags

sex sells

3:33 am

puglet

modesty is not in this generation coming up like it was during our raising

3:33 am

snags

we have a new bar/grill in town that has the serving wenches dress in kilt skirts,and a halter type top that pushes up and out.

3:34 am

sprite

yes, I think that is it, snags. Sex sells, indeed.

3:35 am

snags

very short kilt skirts don't bend over

3:35 am

puglet

well look at these cheerleaders at games!

3:35 am

snags

nor move your arms or you will fall out

3:36 am

sprite

somehow I distrust the food in such restaurants, snags. If one needs to take away the attention from it in such a fashion, the food has to be bad :)

3:36 am

sprite

oh yeah, that kind of halter tops. We always say: "Don't sneeze!"

3:36 am

snags

they don't care about food really, it's the booze

3:36 am

snags

big money maker

3:37 am

puglet

you go to the beach or pool and theres women in suits with just a string between the cheeks

3:38 am

snags

and it's so ugly

3:38 am

sprite

the butt floss clothes. Would hate to wear them.

3:38 am

snags

most of should leave our beach coat on

3:38 am

puglet

if I did wear such,no one would even see the string

3:39 am

sprite

you know, I think this all happens because people confuse shame with modesty. I think it is a wonderful thing people are not pressured to be ashamed of sex, nudity and their own bodies. But a bit of modesty goes a long way. No need to let it all hang out, to put it gently ;)

3:40 am

snags

that would be me............ many pounds ago you would have seen it.

3:40 am

sprite

same here... too much cheek and no string.

3:40 am

puglet

lol me too!

3:41 am

snags

I can dress like that at home for my hubby if I want.

3:41 am

puglet

we are not like Rose,she can still wear a tutu

3:41 am

sprite

yeah... at home in private, it is a whole other matter.

3:41 am

snags

I can too, in my dreams..........lol

3:42 am

sprite

rose is unbeatable :)

3:42 am

snags

I 'm glad someone is........... :)

3:43 am

sprite

:D
Where is our rose, btw? Did we lose her amidst the cheeks?

3:43 am

puglet

and Ruby too

3:43 am

snags

hope not.........

3:44 am

puglet

I dream of myself in one of those evening gowns that has the fullflowing skirts and in emeral green with the jewels to match-lol

3:45 am

snags

what a wonderful dream

3:45 am

sprite

that would be much more my style too, pug. Elegant flowing clothes. Well who knows... if I learn enough in the clinic, I might be able to wear that kind of clothes again some day :)

3:46 am

snags

what are you learning sprite?

3:46 am

puglet

I have also wanted to do ball room dancing

3:47 am

snags

live your dreams ladies..........

3:47 am

puglet

Sprite is that you in your photo profile with the long dark hair?

3:48 am

puglet

3:48 am

sprite

am gonna learn how to battle my eating disorder, snags. Will start a program for that end of this month.

3:48 am

puglet

I hope you come and join us more Snags

3:49 am

sprite

in the glasses and the dotty blouse? Yes, that was me, some time ago

3:50 am

snags

You can beat this sprite.......... I quit smoking, (but too late)

3:50 am

snags

thank you puglet, I am having a sleepless night.

3:50 am

puglet

well you are a nice looking young lady--you put yourself down too much Sprite

3:50 am

sprite

too late for what, snags? Are you ill with it?

3:51 am

sprite

aw dear pug... I don't look like that anymore, that is 10 years ago :) I am much much fatter now.

3:51 am

snags

copd, that is at times exasperating.

3:51 am

puglet

I have been trying to quit for so long Snag and I still havent gotten it done--sobs

3:51 am

sprite

oh that is an ugly disease to have :( Am so sorry, snags.

3:52 am

snags

me too sprite. by the time I quit, the damage was done.

3:53 am

sprite

Did you read the book Allan Carr's easy way to quit smoking, pug? It really helps.

3:53 am

puglet

yes me too Snag, Hugs for you

3:53 am

sprite

*hugs* for snags

3:53 am

snags

This is my second marriage. Hubby's wife and my spouse died the same year.

3:53 am

puglet

yes I did Sprite

3:54 am

snags

He married me knowing I have these health issues because he went a just plain fell in love with me and didn't care, just wants to take care of me...... I am so blessed.

3:54 am

3:55 am

snags

3:55 am

snags

no need to be sorry at all Snag

3:57 am

sprite

glad you joined us, snags. No matter of hijacking, we are all avid chatters here.

3:57 am

snags

my avatar is how we are living our lives........... for however long!! :)

3:57 am

puglet

I talk alot too and Sprite and Rose are kind enough to not tell me to shut up

3:57 am

sprite

if a couple can laugh together, they can stay together forever.

3:57 am

snags

:)

3:57 am

snags

how about all of you............. married? widowed?

3:57 am

sprite

pug, I sent you an email.

3:58 am

sprite

I am happily married, with two teenager kids.

3:58 am

puglet

3:59 am

snags

4:00 am

puglet

4:00 am

puglet

4:01 am

snags

have your lives turned out and any of you expected when you were a very young adult?

4:02 am

snags

wow sprite, pug

4:02 am

sprite

not even close.

4:02 am

puglet

no way!

4:02 am

snags

lol

4:03 am

snags

next question, is it better or worse?

4:03 am

puglet

a touch both ways I guess

worse, in that it has a lot more problems and battles and issues than I planned. Better, in that I could no way have pictured the experience and wisdom I have acquired through it all, back then

4:06 am

sprite

4:08 am

puglet

I never seen Ruby leave and Ive not seen Joso on yet this morning

4:09 am

sprite

hm, problem. My boy is still ill, my girl is off to school and I am hurting allover from yesterday's ordeal. But... the dog has to be walked.

4:09 am

sprite

didn't see joso either today. And I think ruby left suddenly.

4:10 am

puglet

hmm, wonder who gets to walk the dog-lol

4:10 am

sprite

yeah, sigh. Not sure I am up to it. But on the other hand, it is just pain. I can handle pain.

4:10 am

puglet

you dont have a fence in yard

4:11 am

sprite

yes but our yard is really really small, pug. Not much to occupy our dog's attention.

4:12 am

puglet

oh, you never know, you might feel better after you get out there

4:12 am

puglet

take time to smell the roses as the saying goes

4:13 am

puglet

god gives us so many colors and things to enjoy each day we sometimes forget to look

4:13 am

sprite

true. Well, babble first. Then I will dress, and we will see.

4:14 am

sprite

you are right about that, pug. I try to start every day with being grateful for all those things.

4:15 am

puglet

isnt there a spice called torgon or something like that

4:16 am

sprite

oregano?

4:16 am

sprite

and we have a babbler called torgone

4:16 am

puglet

it starts with a t

4:16 am

Jayk

tarragon

4:17 am

puglet

maybe its taragon

4:17 am

sprite

tarragon

4:17 am

puglet

4:17 am

hiya Jayk :)

4:17 am

Jayk

morning all.

4:18 am

puglet

morning Jayk

4:18 am

puglet

I dont know that Ive met you before

4:19 am

rubyfoo

aback. Sorry for the abrupt departure. DH got back from the store with his usual list of mistakes. I should start going to th market with him but 1)he insists on driving 2) it is too cold for me and 3)he is obnoxious

4:19 am

Jayk

i'm here all the time--well, very early mornings--but generally just plod through the words

4:19 am

rubyfoo

hi jayk

4:20 am

sprite

hi ruby, wb and don't worry about the leaving. It is a tough situation. Maybe you can go once or twice a week by yourself and get what he forgets?

4:20 am

puglet

welcome back Ruby

4:20 am

sprite

or ask your help to do it once a week?

4:20 am

sprite

brb, son is awake and sneezing his head off

4:20 am

rubyfoo

I read back over the chog and snags sounds nice and interesting but only went back to the bottom of the current page as I haven't time for "research"

4:20 am

NonoNanette

morning babblers :)

4:21 am

puglet

morning nan

4:21 am

rubyfoo

it's not that he forgets and I make very detailed lists (VERY), but when he knows it's the wrong thing, he tends to get 4 or 5.

4:21 am

rubyfoo

hello hello nan

4:22 am

puglet

to just got to you Ruby

4:22 am

rubyfoo

for example: I asked for mini mozzarellas, those little balls to go with the cherry tomatoes. I carefully explained what I wanted and wrote it down. He came back with 7 packages of other kinds

4:23 am

NonoNanette

Ruby, my son does my shopping and he is forever getting the wrong thing cause he doesnt take the time to read the lable

4:23 am

puglet

I meant to just get on your nerves Ruby

4:24 am

rubyfoo

What I don't understand is why, when he knows it's not what I asked for, he buys multiples. Is it a |mother issue" ad he wants me to berate him and be disappointed, like his mother

4:25 am

rubyfoo

I know I'm lucky that he does the shopping, but he leaves for the store before 8AM and I'm just not ready that early

4:25 am

puglet

what if you say nothing and take those items back and get what you want

4:26 am

rubyfoo

I had to do that yesterday because he bought a $400+ WATCH THAT HE DIDN'T NEED AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE STORE AND TOLD THE SALES CLERK THAT SHE HAD TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AN OLD MAN WITH POOR COMMUNICATION SKILLS (AN UNDERSTATEMENT)

4:27 am

rubyfoo

sorry for the caps

4:27 am

puglet

hate to say but that happens too many times to the elderly

4:28 am

NonoNanette

yes it does!

4:28 am

rubyfoo

it's true, but I certainly got my way in the store! I can be surprisingly aggressive in French when I need to be

4:29 am

puglet

good for you Ruby!

4:31 am

grannyrose

*giggle* yay you, ruby, standing up to the store staff. no, pugs, not gone, was stuffing my face * in my defence it is/was dinner time*. hello nanette and jayk

4:31 am

NonoNanette

hi Rose

4:31 am

puglet

sprite thought you got lost in the crack--lol

4:31 am

sprite

good for you. I don't think he does it on purpose, ruby. He is just confused. He may realise it is not exactly what you said and then compensate by bringing you many.

4:31 am

rubyfoo

I am woman, hear me roar, even at the dept. store!

4:32 am

sprite

hiya Nanette :)

4:32 am

NonoNanette

hi Sprite

4:32 am

sprite

lol indeed, lost in the cheeks convo, rose

4:32 am

sprite

my boy is feeling miserable, poor kid. Wanting to sleep and sneezing his head off.

4:32 am

grannyrose

ruby, so frustrating that DH cannot follow a list. same here, and my DH could give your DH 15 years and still be younger.

4:33 am

rubyfoo

hahah, ruefully, rosie

4:34 am

sprite

my love does the same thing. When I show him the empty package and ask him to bring me exactlly this, he still comes home with something else. Men... what can we say ;)

4:34 am

puglet

was he near Rose and Don, Sprite?-lol

4:35 am

NonoNanette

it does seem to be one of their
traits )

4:35 am

sprite

ah, you think it is catching? :D

4:35 am

rubyfoo

If he could cook, I'd do the shopping, but I cN ONLY DO SO MUCH!

4:35 am

puglet

mine too--and you tell him where something is right here in the house, he still cant find and it will be right in front of his face

4:36 am

o-o

Seems to me the solution is quite simple. Women do the shopping. The simpleton men as you so aptly berate, can stay home.

4:36 am

rubyfoo

MUST HAVE TO DO WITH THEIR GENES, IF IT'S THE YOUNG ONES,TOO

4:36 am

puglet

morning OO

4:36 am

rubyfoo

they can stay home, but then they have to cook and put the sh** away!

4:36 am

sprite

also, let's say for instance we always have the same tea. For years. Tea is out. I ask him to bring tea. What do you think he brings? A whole other kind of tea, and he is beaming about it: let's try this one! And all I think is, darn, I want the old one.

4:37 am

rubyfoo

exactly, sprite.

4:37 am

rubyfoo

No pride in this o-o, just a question of who does which work

4:37 am

sprite

hi BabbleRabble, good to see you. Not putting men down. Just discussing a trait that seems to be there in some of the men we know :)

4:38 am

puglet

Sprite, the thing to do is hide some of the old tea

4:38 am

rubyfoo

and how much of it

4:38 am

o-o

Sure, but each morning there would be more about how the inept men blew it again.

4:38 am

sprite

lol pug :)

4:38 am

rubyfoo

perhaps you're the perfect exception, o-o

4:38 am

sprite

nah, I am happy my love is willing to do most of the shopping. And gladly I am able by now to go out to the store and get something by myself if I really need to. Couldn't do that for years.

4:38 am

o-o

I have been watching this type of convo ever since I started coming here.

4:39 am

puglet

why is that oo of the men?

4:39 am

rubyfoo

perhaps you should just lurk then

4:39 am

A*n*i*t*a

Morning all

4:39 am

rubyfoo

we eed to share; perhaps you don't

4:39 am

puglet

morning Anita

4:39 am

o-o

I am a perfect nothing. I just know men will get blasted no matter what they do.

4:39 am

rubyfoo

hello anita

4:39 am

grannyrose

and why, 0-O, do the women have to carry all the food etc home? i thought historically it was the MEN who supplied all the foods and other needs?

4:40 am

rubyfoo

amen, rosie

4:40 am

grannyrose

good morning, anita

4:40 am

NonoNanette

and I am grateful my son does my shopping, I have learned to just go with his mistakes or simply ask him to take something back if need be

4:40 am

sprite

I know it is a sensitive thing for you, BabbleRabble. In no way I mean it to be hurtful for you. It is the same kind of thing as men compairing notes on how their women nag. A gender thing. But no disrespect intended.

4:40 am

puglet

well I for one find it strange that all over the world the men seem to have the same traits

4:40 am

rubyfoo

that is absolute BS, o-o, and you sknow it!!!!!

4:40 am

o-o

I think women just need something to complain about.

4:40 am

sprite

hiya Anita :)

4:40 am

rubyfoo

I give the "mistakes" to the housekeeper

4:41 am

rubyfoo

that, too, is BS!

4:41 am

sprite

that is probably true. And men do too. That is a human trait.

4:41 am

puglet

Iam sorry too if your feelings got hurt OO

4:41 am

grannyrose

ooohh!! BR is so stirring the pot today...

4:41 am

rubyfoo

On "good" days, we all share them, too

4:42 am

rubyfoo

Sprite and Rosie, have you ever seen me riled up before?

4:42 am

sprite

BabbleRabble, I think you have seen me say good things about my love very of5 as well... you know how I feel about it.

4:42 am

puglet

I like OO and his statement though sometimes I dont get them

4:42 am

rubyfoo

and Puglet?

4:42 am

o-o

My feelings are not hurt .... I just see the comments. And you people are not stirring the pot

4:42 am

sprite

guess I have, ruby

4:42 am

puglet

I dont think so Ruby

4:43 am

rubyfoo

I don't think o-o is in a position to judge us; if we need to vent, this is a perfect place. If he doesn't like it, tant pias!

4:43 am

o-o

Women are perfect. Men are always wrong.

4:43 am

puglet

I wish I were!

4:43 am

rubyfoo

o-o that is utter nonsense

4:43 am

NonoNanette

on the contrary, no one is perfect

4:43 am

rubyfoo

pis*

4:43 am

sprite

lol yeah, we are so perfect. Most of our chats are about our own failings though ;)

4:44 am

rubyfoo

exactly, sprite

4:44 am

puglet

yeah from fat to tears!lol

4:44 am

rubyfoo

and loaded guns!

4:45 am

o-o

You by your own admission choose to remain with your husband ... still each day it is yip yip yip

4:45 am

sprite

argh yes. Fat, tears, therapy and teenagers.

4:45 am

sprite

well, judgement is easier than compassion, always, BabbleRabble...

4:46 am

rubyfoo

but nobody has the right to criticize ua, at a combined age of 158,, there are not a lot of choices. Why don't you tell us about your "happy" life o-o, the recluse

4:46 am

o-o

and complaining is complaining

4:46 am

puglet

Iam cause I made a comitment before God and I cant live by his words on life if I only take out what I want that fits my own needs

4:46 am

rubyfoo

f*** you! And now it's off to lunch with my perfect husband. And with whom are you having lunch o-o?

4:47 am

o-o

This is too funny.

4:47 am

NonoNanette

enjoy your lunch Ruby

4:47 am

rubyfoo

You are a jerk, o-o by any name!

4:47 am

sprite

yep, like you complain about us. I don't mind, I know a tiny bit of where you are coming from. But we will vent now and again in the chat, it is what women do to sort out our stuff and get things back on the rails.

4:48 am

rubyfoo

bye no no and see you kids later, hopefully o-o will have gone back into his perfect cave

4:48 am

sprite

come on, no need to call names or curse. We all have a right to speak our mind.

4:48 am

puglet

You dont bother me OO--If you need to vent too by all means feel free

4:48 am

o-o

well sprite ... you can think what you want.

4:48 am

rubyfoo

*woof*

4:48 am

puglet

bye Ruby--hugs

4:48 am

rubyfoo

but venting against us? What about his "perfect" life?

4:48 am

o-o

I have not cursed.

4:49 am

sprite

I know, BabbleRabble, and I do. And no, you did not curse and I was not addressing you. Just stating that you also have a right to speak your mind.

4:49 am

o-o

You people simply cannot face the reality of what you do.

4:49 am

rubyfoo

I did and robably the first time in here. You are very unpleasant o-o! Is that more ladylike?

4:50 am

rubyfoo

We all truly face our own realities and need each other to share them. We don't need you!

4:50 am

o-o

I will readily assume the role of pariah and you can yip at me all you want.

4:50 am

puglet

oo have you had bad experences with women

4:50 am

grannyrose

o-o, do you think my DH has never complained about my behaviour? yes, it hurts, but i always take on board what he has said. he is a very wise, and sensible person.

4:50 am

sprite

for me it is not you people, but us people. Of which you are a part that I personally care about.

4:50 am

rubyfoo

Anybody who says "you people" is a igot, whether against people of other races, other genders or other religions

4:51 am

rubyfoo

bigot* but probably not a typist

4:51 am

NonoNanette

ok its time for me to leave the chat talk to you all another time

4:51 am

o-o

Has your dh come into the chat to berate you?

4:51 am

rubyfoo

bye bye no no

4:51 am

sprite

bye Nanette, sorry you fell into this argument

4:52 am

rubyfoo

(haven't felt this much adrenalin coursing since yesterday! lol

4:52 am

grannyrose

o-o, he berates me in front of our friends at church. and quite loudly, i might add.

4:52 am

sprite

*gently advocates a bit of compassion once more*

4:52 am

puglet

mine cant hardly write or read, so no, but he is good at putting me down else wheres

4:52 am

puglet

bye Nan hagd

4:53 am

o-o

oh don't worry ... I made my point and shall leave so you people can have your unfettered bashing without interference.

4:54 am

puglet

bye OO have a good day

4:54 am

sprite

bye BabbleRabble, all the best to you.

4:54 am

grannyrose

o-o, okay, mate. you made the point you wanted to make. and that is fine...hope your day is good for you..

4:55 am

puglet

Ruby please dont stress yourself out too much

4:56 am

sprite

I always hate it when a discussion turns from being about what people do to what people are.

4:57 am

puglet

it really dont bother me

4:57 am

puglet

there must be a burried reason for it

4:58 am

sprite

7:01 am

BzznBea

It's raining pecans at my house.

7:01 am

BzznBea

Morning, Annie,

7:01 am

Anniebrook

Hi Bichon, ((ruby)), Bea

7:01 am

rubyfoo

better than raining slugs which it does here from time to time

7:01 am

MollyL

Mmm, fish fry and pecan pie for dessert.

7:01 am

bichon

really ruby?

7:01 am

Anniebrook

Is Erhard home safe and sound?, Bichon?

7:02 am

rubyfoo

not often, happily, but when it does, it's disgusting

7:02 am

rubyfoo

looks like moving poops in the grass

7:02 am

bichon

Yes, and we had a nice dinner followed by TV. Peaceful and sourrounded by our loving fluffs

7:02 am

BzznBea

The pecans wouldn't be good in a pie. They are still green and half eaten by fuzzy tailed rats. Thus the reason it is raining pecans.

7:03 am

rubyfoo

that's ike the plum "drops" which are wormy and not ripe

7:03 am

Anniebrook

Bichon, sounds homey and what you both needed after all that excitement

7:03 am

bichon

Annie, it's so funny, but Mr. B had a twitter following

7:03 am

crosshair

mmm,fresh plums...

7:03 am

rubyfoo

but fuzzy-tailed rats sound cute -- almost-squirrels?

7:04 am

bichon

I slept so soundly last nice. It was even nice to listen to the soring

7:04 am

bichon

*snoring

7:04 am

Anniebrook

wow, Mr. B is going to be famous...He should start a blog about his adventures on quiz shows.

7:04 am

MollyL

Mr. Bichon, Internet Quiz Show Sensation : )

7:04 am

BzznBea

Not cute! Yes, they are squirrels. But here, they are vermin, imho.

7:05 am

bichon

I think he's too busy with his Facebook page

7:05 am

rubyfoo

they only show dopey Fr ones, here :(

7:05 am

rubyfoo

no squirrels here, the Fr have eaten them or worn them as 500-skin coats eeew

7:05 am

bichon

You could follow it on line ruby

7:05 am

crosshair

ewww

7:06 am

rubyfoo

how, bichon?

7:06 am

Anniebrook

Name that proper noun....Captain in the Caine Mutiny

7:06 am

MollyL

If squirrel were the only meat left to eat, I would happily become a vegetarian.

7:06 am

bichon

Just go to the web site and click on the on line function

queeg?

7:07 am

Anniebrook

ding ding ding!!!!

7:07 am

Uneaixoise

:-)

7:07 am

BzznBea

These squirrels would not be worth eating. They are small, just a bit bigger than a rat.

7:07 am

rubyfoo

small bones, not much meat; you'd have to season them like Buffalo wings

7:07 am

bichon

I have 43 words and nothing bigger than a 5 letter word

7:07 am

bichon

time to refuel

7:08 am

7:10 am

72 Temple Owl

7:11 am

Uneaixoise

ditto molly

7:11 am

BzznBea

The old lady that once lived in our house would climb out the upstairs bathroom window with her shotgun and a bottle of whiskey and shoot at them.

7:12 am

MollyL

Bea! : D

7:12 am

72 Temple Owl

you are not old, bea.

7:12 am

BzznBea

She never hit any because, "She only had that one eye."

7:14 am

crosshair

as kids we used to take them out with sling shots loaded with ball bearings.they would get into the attic of the old place we were in and chew the wiring.was nos chance of beating them since they outnumbered us 1000 to one but was fun for evil pre-teen boys

7:18 am

crosshair

just reading back on rbuds medical woes.it is sad she lives in a country where she is forced to endure that till she can pay cash for an operation:(((

7:22 am

As weather goes, the rest of the year here is excellent. It's just getting through the summer that's difficult. But I still miss the big lush trees and the good earth where you can actually grow things. I grew up in Ohio so I remember that.

I found a healthy piece of fruit!

9:16 am

i was thinking of that as a color

It's an edible color!

9:17 am

jmcnrick

hehe

9:17 am

jmcnrick

the volcano and goose are both there too

9:17 am

reminds me of the first few years i was on babble

9:20 am

9:21 am

the goose and the volcano showed up almost every day. . .

9:21 am

jmcnrick

they were my first two babblets. . .

9:22 am

I was able to use the needle case the other day in scrabble. It was a proud moment for me

Sounds like an ad slogan from "Crazy People", Judi.

9:37 am

Judi

Pffth. I think I've hit the wall at 43.

9:41 am

penquis

i am knocking on the wall with 47 left... ;o)

9:45 am

MollyL

♪All in all it's just another♫brick in the wall♪

9:47 am

penquis

if you can have an ingrown toenail, doesn't it take time to ingrow?.....and if you can have something that is ongoing, it had to start to ongo at some time, right?

9:52 am

MollyL

*Calls PB violation on a technicality*

9:54 am

penquis

do i get to go to PB??

10:01 am

Judi

If this was the $10,000 Pyramid, you'd get disqualified from continuing on.

10:01 am

MollyL

Eh, no one seems to care about PB violations anymore.

10:02 am

penquis

for what?....i don't believe in asterisking parts of words because those parts are in the grid....it just calls attention to the grid words....

10:03 am

penquis

unless i am cluing words, of course... ;o)

10:03 am

MollyL

Yes, but using gr4, even in a part of a word, used to constitute a PB violation. Like I said, no one really plays that game anymore.

10:03 am

Judi

One person's clue is another person's penalty.

10:04 am

penquis

well i don't believe in cluing when no one has asked for a clue....and asterisking like that is doing that...

10:04 am

MollyL

Yes, clue blurting...I'm not really sure why people do that.

10:05 am

penquis

i don't know...it's irritating...

10:05 am

penquis

it's why i avoid chat until i start to hit the wall...

10:08 am

penquis

well i am off for now....down to 41....bbl....*waving*

10:09 am

MollyL

It is irritating. Giving a clue when it's asked for is one thing. Just blurting one out is unnecessary.

10:10 am

Judi

Finito!

I left pastries for you in the PB, Ruby.

ranee

11:32 am

rubyfoo

Thank you, I need something sweet but will probably resort to yoghurt and white peach jam

11:32 am

72 Temple Owl

;)

11:32 am

rubyfoo

and I have plenty to share, TO

11:33 am

MollyL

Well, the big mystery of ra5/10 is cleared up.

11:33 am

rubyfoo

Oh, sweet mystery of life, we've found you

11:33 am

72 Temple Owl

ty ruby.

11:34 am

72 Temple Owl

i got to 27 and am giving in to clues

11:34 am

MollyL

That song always makes me think of "Young Frankenstein"

11:36 am

rubyfoo

One of the times I saw that movie was in France at an outdoor thing in a small village andnobody got the jokes. Similarly, I saw the Graduate there once and the audience found the scene in the swimming pool hilarious, Humor doesn't translate too well

11:36 am

rubyfoo

It's two!

11:36 am

rubyfoo

twoo

11:37 am

rubyfoo

What the French find funniest is men with lots of facial hair dressing as women

11:37 am

MollyL

How can the humor of Young Frankenstein not translate? Just looking at Marty Feldman cracks me up.

11:38 am

MollyL

I will refrain from comment on that, Ruby.

11:38 am

rubyfoo

they certainly didn't get "AB Normal" on the grave

11:38 am

bichon

Back from BJ's. How come I never spend less than $100 there

11:39 am

rubyfoo

what's BJ\'s

11:39 am

MollyL

That is what happens when you have to buy everything in bulk.

11:41 am

rubyfoo

There was an op-ed essay in the NYT either today or yesterday talking about buying food in bulk, whether at big box stores or in fast food restaurants, as being a cause of American obesity.

11:42 am

MollyL

BJ's is a warehouse store, like Costco. They sell everything in "big" packaging. 24 rolls of toilet paper, 5 pound cans of coffee, etc.

11:43 am

rubyfoo

Who has room to store so much?

11:43 am

rubyfoo

My husband would love that. Today he bought 6 different kinds of fresh mozzarella.

11:43 am

cybernan

good morning :)

11:43 am

MollyL

That is my problem. I don't have an extra freezer, so I'm limited to how much I can store.

11:44 am

MollyL

Plus it's hard to buy for two, on a budget, at a place like that.

11:44 am

72 Temple Owl

eeek! it's not as if that will keep or can be frozen

11:44 am

rubyfoo

We had to buy a little freezer for the garage when my fridge died, but I don't use it now. I tend to lose things in the freezer

11:45 am

rubyfoo

and electricity here is insanely expensive

11:46 am

MollyL

I don't have a lot of storage space for non-perishables either, TO.

11:46 am

rubyfoo

husband buys stuff and puts it in the garage, never to be seen again lol

11:46 am

72 Temple Owl

i manage to store too much.

11:47 am

rubyfoo

I always wind up with mystery things in the freezer which I ultimately toss

11:47 am

72 Temple Owl

i am going through things little by little. my aterh akept every report card, honor card, and news clipping on us. i am reading them and tossing them.

11:47 am

MollyL

If I had the room, and an extra freezer, I would be an avid warehouse store shopper. It's really a cost effective way to shop, if you have the money up front.

11:52 am

72 Temple Owl

wow that double f is well hidden today

11:53 am

rubyfoo

I only used it once, TO

11:54 am

bichon

I disagreed with Frank Bruni's column about big-box food stores. I store, freeze, etc.

11:54 am

rubyfoo

Otherwise, do you like the way he writes, Bichon?

11:54 am

bichon

aand, the quality of meat, fish and produce at Costco is great

11:54 am

72 Temple Owl

and that is it for me. happy babbling, everyone.

11:55 am

rubyfoo

You sound much better organized than I!

11:55 am

rubyfoo

bye TO

11:55 am

bichon

Yes, read him all the time. He actually was bulemic in college

11:55 am

rubyfoo

no kidding!

11:56 am

rubyfoo

The International Herald Tribune and The New Yorker are my lifelines

11:56 am

bichon

Yes, one of his first works for the Times

11:56 am

bichon

I bet ruby, I don't know what I'd do without the Times

11:57 am

cybernan

11:57 am

And the IHT carries the same editorials and op-ed pieces plus the cultural stuff. But I even read the Miami Herald avidly, only getting the N|YT on weekends

11:58 am

how are you hurshy? how are things?

hurshy

stressish. marty started having weird symptom monday night - brain sending electric shocks through his body every minute or less.

5:52 pm

mab

any news from the vet yet? poor boy.

5:52 pm

hurshy

vets don't really know why. but, luckily it seems to be getting gradually less severe and he's returning to being able to sleep and eat.

5:53 pm

mab

whenever a sick cat begins to eat it's such a relief.

5:54 pm

Hi stid. How is Babble's newest teacher?

6:02 pm

stidmama

Tired, bugs, virus #2 in 5 days. I think I am over it, but have a lingering cough and congestion. LOVE the kids, though! Having a great time actually TEACHING instead of only being in charge of keeping someone's kids "safe" and contained...

6:04 pm

Bugsaw

Everyone gets sick the first month of school. You will become more immune as years go by. I did find a bottle of hand sanitizer on my desk and asking the janitors to wipe down all the desktops with an antiseptic each night helped a LOT.

6:04 pm

stidmama

how are you? is the "Ark" buttoned up for the winter yet?

6:05 pm

stidmama

I asked for antiseptic wipes from the custodian yesterday, but was so tired today that I didn't wipe things down before I left. I will try to leave early tomorrow so I can do it before kids come in for the day.

6:05 pm

Bugsaw

and I know what you mean about having your own class. It is easy to love all kids but your own kids are always different.

6:05 pm

hurshy

zinc

6:05 pm

stidmama

I have a 7:30 meeting, so I have to be up even earlier...

6:05 pm

stidmama

ooh! hurshy! you're THE BEST! yes, I could get zinc tablets again. Those have helped in the past.

6:06 pm

Bugsaw

the custodian will do it for you since the desks are cleaned anyway. I found them to be the best allies in the school. You get all kinds of free pencils and pens for recycling from what they sweep up.

6:06 pm

Bugsaw

what does zinc do?

6:07 pm

hurshy

boosts your immune system

6:07 pm

stidmama

We are down TWO custodians! Injuries and such... but the day custodian is an amazing woman who really helps a lot.

6:07 pm

Bugsaw

oh, how did I never learn that? thanks!

6:07 pm

hurshy

and unlike extra vitamin C, it is the only supplement that studies have ACTUALLY shown to be able to shorten the length of a cold or cut it off at the pass if taken early enough.

6:08 pm

stidmama

it's a micronutrient used to support cell growth, but I don't know how it does it

6:08 pm

hurshy

you gots to get the chalky tablets that you let dissolve in your mouth, though, not the pills that you just swallow, and not the sugary cough droppy ones. esp if you have a sore throat that you want it to help with. in my experience.

6:08 pm

Bugsaw

good to know. When I get a cold I drink orange juice every 20 minutes and just flush it out of me but this sounds better

6:09 pm

stidmama

the chalky tabs are the only ones I can use anyway...

6:09 pm

stidmama

I just have to remember where I got them last time!

6:10 pm

hurshy

more naturally oriented grocery stores, some pharmacies

6:10 pm

stidmama

AHA! I found the 8! :-D *proud mama look*

6:11 pm

Bugsaw

I am tutoring 2 days a week this year since it was so much fun only 1 day last year.

6:11 pm

stidmama

and there is halfway AND NBT already. Maybe leaving early today was a smart thing! LOL

6:11 pm

stidmama

good for you, bugs! nice to keep on doing what you love.

6:13 pm

Bugsaw

can anyone clue the io 7 for me, please?

6:15 pm

Bugsaw

nevermind

6:16 pm

stidmama

how fishy is it, bugs?

6:17 pm

Bugsaw

it is not fishy to me. I used MoreWords. io 7,36

6:17 pm

stidmama

thanks *thinkng*

6:17 pm

Bugsaw

will clue more if needed

6:18 pm

stidmama

does it build off the charged particle, bugs?

6:18 pm

Bugsaw

yes and according to the dictionary, usually has ic on the end

6:20 pm

Bugsaw

need more?

6:20 pm

stidmama

okay... *thinking more*

6:20 pm

stidmama

I think so...

hey joso, received and answered your email.

6:57 pm

joso

good

6:59 pm

grannyrose

DH rolled his eyes...another jigsaw site....yup, i said, should stop me from making demands on your time for a while...he said, that's what i'm afraid of...methinks he is feeling better.

7:04 pm

joso

He is coughing less?

7:05 pm

grannyrose

definitely, he actually was able to sleep most of the night in bed. only got up the once for a little while.

7:06 pm

joso

very good, and how is her ladyship doing

7:07 pm

grannyrose

okay, at the moment, thank-you kind sir. not coughing, sneezing and nose doing as it should.

7:08 pm

joso

what about the ladyship in law?

7:08 pm

grannyrose

a little concerned with kidneys. no pain or anything, but not going as much as i usually do.

7:10 pm

joso

thats very specific, I guess thats the risk of being a medical person, you know all the gory detailo

7:11 pm

joso

*details of what can go wrong.

7:12 pm

grannyrose

yup. mate, emailed you again.

7:14 pm

joso

gotch

7:14 pm

grannyrose

n ow as for MIL, well we are standing back and allowing her daughter to do it all. if anything had happened overnight we would have heard by now. so my guess is she is still with us.

7:16 pm

grannyrose

strange, i just mentioned to himself, perhaps we should ring the hospital to check on the mother. he immediately started coughing....

7:16 pm

joso

hehehe

7:17 pm

joso

something freudian perhaps

7:18 pm

grannyrose

hmm, ya think...lol. a pretty high chance of it being so.

7:19 pm

grannyrose

so what time is it over there? about 8pm? and did you swim today?

7:20 pm

joso

yep, 8. no didn't swim, its getting boring, harder to motivate myself to go.

7:21 pm

grannyrose

hmmm, must send some cabana girls your way them...would that motivate you?

7:23 pm

joso

I don't think I'd want cabana girls until much further on in the swimming program

7:23 pm

grannyrose

* giggle * we are talking motivation here, right?
