grannyrose

1:22 am

rururocks

Whew I almost misread that

1:22 am

puglet

NO, but I was getting on his nerves not having anything to do and I was interupting his tv time and all--lol

1:23 am

grannyrose

lolol...ruru....could you please keep your mind above our navels?

1:25 am

puglet

Rose, sisters sugar were running 500 to 300 last week--five trips to town to docs and hospital and all :(

1:25 am

rururocks

Well..I just got back from church and you guys are talking about sex acts

1:26 am

joso

a navel alone is plenty to set ruru off

1:26 am

puglet

I dont think it was us but jbp

1:26 am

grannyrose

ugh, pugs. not good at all.

1:26 am

rururocks

joso

hi rose, very good to see you too

1:29 am

puglet

Ru, did you get to catch that wonderful colt and ram game last week and their game last night?

1:30 am

joso

the lows scare me, highs cause gradual wear and tear, but the Idea I might not have enough energy to keep my heart pumping, very scary

1:32 am

joso

oy, you have been both droped

1:32 am

puglet

yeah the lows scares me more too---the doctor called wanting me to up her dosage of insulant and I refuse cause she was getting 50's

1:35 am

joso

sorry you missed yesterday, you missed pug's pre photo impression of me.

1:35 am

puglet

so what are you doing on your vacation Rose, besides the naughty stuff?

1:35 am

puglet

well Joso, for some reason I was picturing you as Burl Ives--lol

1:36 am

grannyrose

lots of sight-seeing, pugs. the coast of southern australia is very rugged and beautiful...kinda like our ruru.

1:37 am

puglet

Ive never seen Ruru so cant say anything there

1:37 am

puglet

You surely are not doing alot of walking are you?

1:37 am

grannyrose

where we are now, mt gambier there are some magnificent sinkholes. they have been planted out as formal gardens. in one of them there are resident possums, who come running up to you, looking for food.

1:38 am

joso

not what you said yesterday, some creature that crawls (or maybe slithers) from the basement occasionally it what you said, quite happy the photo came close to human norms.

1:38 am

puglet

oh wow!

1:38 am

grannyrose

doing some walking, but with brace on. also resting well between walks.

1:38 am

puglet

lol Joso!

1:40 am

puglet

whos caring for MIL? SIL?

1:40 am

grannyrose

joso, crossy looks like DH. same salt-and-pepper beard, but DH has trimmed a little more off. same build of body.

1:40 am

grannyrose

pugs, MIL in care facility until next monday.

1:41 am

joso

really, i was picturing a thin man, not the same build as crossy or me

1:41 am

puglet

I think Joso is a nice looking man and not at all what I had pictured--lol

1:41 am

grannyrose

going out for dinner, now. chinese tonight, methinks. lol

1:42 am

joso

couldn't talk fang into tending her again, hehehehe

1:42 am

grannyrose

*chuckle* strange th4, joso. she wouldn't have a bar of it.

1:42 am

puglet

that sounds good! Rose--so glad your stress and mind seems more calmer

1:43 am

grannyrose

1:43 am

1:44 am

joso

1:45 am

sprite

good morning dear friends

1:45 am

puglet

How are you doing Joso? Things falling into place yet? Like a job and apartment?

1:45 am

joso

hi sprite

1:45 am

puglet

SPRITE!!!!!HELLO and hugs

1:45 am

sprite

hi joso :) *hugs8

1:45 am

sprite

hiya pug, finally! Glad to see you back. You ok?

1:46 am

puglet

yep! Iam fine! and how are you? How did the meetings go and group go

1:48 am

puglet

oh yeah, so glad that everything worked out for you guys too!

1:48 am

sprite

meetings went well, group was brutal. Lunch therapy triggered a flashback. But otherwise I am good :)

1:49 am

sprite

(waiting for joso to answer pug's questions too)

1:49 am

joso

hehehe, I thought pug was talking to you

1:50 am

puglet

but you made it through it though didnt you with flying colors?

1:50 am

puglet

Iam talking to you both--lol

1:51 am

sprite

hehehe, pug asked you: "How are you doing Joso? Things falling into place yet? Like a job and apartment?"

1:52 am

joso

ok, babble meet went very well, mrs crossy was there too, they are very much in love and very cute together, protective of each other. Flosey is very well turned out lady, quiet and proper.

1:52 am

sprite

I made it through. Not with flying colours, no. Had 4 bites in total over the whole lunch. But picked up the pieces afterwards relatively well.

1:52 am

sprite

awesome, joso

1:52 am

joso

but a hint of steel in her

1:53 am

puglet

well Sprite thats making some headway then, so glad for you

1:53 am

sprite

thanks dear one :)

1:54 am

sprite

she sounds wonderful, joso

1:55 am

puglet

and hows it going with Tim and Joso what has that got to do with what I asked? How is your well being?

1:55 am

sprite

can't believe joso missed your questions twice now, lololol

1:56 am

puglet

that or something is wrong and hes skirting the question

1:56 am

sprite

Tim is behaving moderately well. A couple of issues this week. We will see. Rob and I go for a meeting again today.

1:56 am

sprite

I will copy your questions once more.
JOSO: "How are you doing Joso? Things falling into place yet? Like a job and apartment?"

1:57 am

joso

It was a blustery day with on and off rain, when we exited to the parking lot I was half afraid flosey would blow away. flosey said she could walk but I offered her a ride anyway (almost didn't because my car was such a mess). finish this later

1:57 am

puglet

thats helps in the family then

1:57 am

joso

I am fine, no cause to worry here ladies

1:58 am

sprite

hm, I think you are right, pug, those are not answers to your questions :)

1:58 am

joso

no apt, or job yet, but i am not worried.

1:58 am

puglet

not sounding so uplifting to me, Joso

1:59 am

sprite

ok, good about the not worried part. Blessings your way, mate. May you find a fun job and a nice place to live soonest.

1:59 am

joso

I have the option to stay here one more month if I need to.

2:00 am

joso

not looking for work right now, concentrating on apt

2:00 am

sprite

that is a reassuring idea.

2:00 am

puglet

thats good---I too hope you find a job soon, Joso

2:00 am

sprite

and you yourself, pug? Computer issues again, the last few days?

2:01 am

puglet

yes, had it in the shop for a few days

2:01 am

sprite

we thought so. Glad it wasn't anything more serious. Did they find something this time?

2:01 am

puglet

Hubby didnt like me not having my computer--lol

2:01 am

joso

did the shop guy tell you what was wrong?

2:02 am

sprite

lololllll were you being a pain? Good for you.

2:02 am

puglet

something was unplugged on the inside, is what he said

2:02 am

sprite

ah... maybe the ventilator. That would certainly explain the behaviour.

2:03 am

puglet

after ten trips there in the last two years you would think they would of found it sooner

2:03 am

sprite

or maybe they unplugged it themselves and forgot to replug it.

2:03 am

puglet

well I was interrupting his routine of life--lol

2:04 am

sprite

very good. Let him realise you are a person in your own right :)

2:04 am

joso

ah, so he reseated the memory simms and cards, hope it didn't cost too much.

2:06 am

puglet

they didnt charge me this time since Ive had it there so many times before with the same problem

2:06 am

sprite

very good

2:06 am

joso

perfect

2:07 am

puglet

so Iam just hoping that was the problem and its fixed

2:07 am

sprite

I hope so too, pug. It is not the same babble without you

2:08 am

puglet

that is what I missed most--all of you guys

2:08 am

sprite

*extra hug for pug*

2:09 am

puglet

and thanks Sprite! Glad you guys dont mind my over talking--lol

2:09 am

sprite

cute icon, btew

2:09 am

sprite

btw*

2:10 am

sprite

you don't overtalk, hun. You are a lovely ch4tee.

2:10 am

puglet

got my winter cap on--lol but is going to warm up for the next few days----has been in the 20 to 30's and now we are to get 60' to 70 and storm sunday

2:11 am

sprite

oh, odd weather! I hope the storm won't be bad.

2:11 am

sprite

I have added ch4tee to the babble dictionary, btw. Should be a valid word.

2:12 am

puglet

in real life believe it or not Iam a quiet person but on here Iam a busybody

2:12 am

sprite

I very much enjoy your input, pug. And I miss you when you aren't online.

2:12 am

puglet

yeah me too--but when that hot and cold slams into each other then watch out!

2:13 am

joso

continuing, so I give flosey a ride, and find that the 2-3 blocks walking distance I expected was 10-15 blocks, very glad i offered her a lift. She was also very gracious about the condition of my car, told me it made her feel at home as hubby keeps his truck in the same condition. I am convinced she would have merrily walked home without another word if I hadn't offered the lift.

2:13 am

puglet

thank you Sprite as I miss you when you are not on

2:13 am

sprite

worst kind of storm, that kind. Will keep fingers crossed for you.

2:14 am

sprite

she sounds like a delightful lady, joso. And you guys are wonderful gentlemen.

2:14 am

puglet

that was so nice of you Joso and so glad your car didnt break down too while being so kind!

2:15 am

joso

If it broke down flosey would probably offered to push, lol

2:15 am

sprite

lol

2:15 am

puglet

Such a Kight is shiney armor! :)

2:16 am

puglet

In not is

2:16 am

joso

so what's with the darth maul pug picture pug?

2:16 am

sprite

guessed as much, grin.

2:17 am

puglet

dont look like I can spell this morn either

2:17 am

puglet

its a winter knitted cap Joso

2:17 am

sprite

joso, pug is slowing tuning in to her inner darth maul pug. Which is a good thing. She needs a bit of extra power to keep standing with her husband.

2:18 am

joso

well now she has a secret mode of attack, disrupt his tv time, lol

2:19 am

sprite

lolol

2:19 am

puglet

Well to tell the truth I dont always like the person that he brings out in me at times

2:20 am

sprite

*embraces and hugs that part of pug*

2:20 am

joso

when you trained horses did you have to do some things you didn't like

2:21 am

puglet

Yep! Sure did

2:21 am

joso

aside from shovel poop i mean

2:22 am

puglet

I stand up for myself and that might be part of the problem too

2:22 am

joso

and when you watch your grandson, do you let him do whatever he likes

2:23 am

puglet

I didnt mind the shoveling actualy miss it now.It was good exercising for my body parts

2:23 am

puglet

most of the time Joso unless its something that might harm him

2:24 am

joso

yes, sometimes you have to tell even loved ones no.

2:24 am

puglet

I dont have kids, Gradyn is my great nephew

2:24 am

sprite

standing up for yourself can never be part of the problem, pug. You have to give him limits, or he will kill you.

2:25 am

sprite

kill your spirit, I mean

2:26 am

joso

beside the point, you love him, not going to let him play with matches or in the middle of the street or whatever

2:26 am

puglet

I do and no I wouldnt

2:26 am

sprite

good :)

2:27 am

joso

It is your duty to consider your husband's wants and needs as equal to yours, but he should do the same, and if you have to remind him of that, then that is what needs doing

2:27 am

puglet

It takes alot for me to lose it but when I do--:O, my redhair becomes aflame--lol

2:28 am

sprite

A-freakin'-men to that, joso

2:29 am

puglet

If I let him, he would like to have complete control on my every move, but I dont give in so its like to rams butting heads

2:31 am

joso

nowadays it's supposed to be an equal parnership, back in the olden days a wife was more like property or a slave. but that is not the standard today. th bible says you should not beat your wife with a switch learger round than your thumb, nobody applies that standard today

2:31 am

puglet

my marrige is kind of like that Dolly and Kenny song(two story house)

2:33 am

sprite

better not beat at all, or he'd have a house full of trouble, lol. Not that my love would ever raise his hand against me.

2:33 am

puglet

well thats a pretty large stick as round as a mans thumb

2:33 am

joso

ok, I'm sure that gets tiring after a while, but keep standing up for yourself, you are too beautiful a soul to let if get stiffened and submerged.

2:34 am

sprite

I am with joso

2:34 am

joso

well todays standard is no beating at all.

2:34 am

joso

and no need to feel guilty about it, you are doing the right thing.

2:35 am

puglet

yes it does Joso, its like having another to care fore with out having a full deck

2:36 am

sprite

I hope your husband counts his blessings. He'd have a hell of a lot of trouble if I were his wife ;)

2:37 am

joso

yes, a thumb width is big, I think limiting beatings to something non lethal was a step forward back then.

2:37 am

puglet

I like to operate things on truth and rightfulness and I try walking in the others shoe before saying nay or yay

2:37 am

sprite

I think so too, joso. That is one of the things that worry me sometimes... that people read the Bible and forget to take into account the time it was written.

2:38 am

puglet

and also those things were for christens and followers in the church

2:41 am

sprite

a lot of the wisdom in the Bible is eternal. But many guidelines are just not for these ages anymore and need to be transposed to modern times. Can't avoid being sent to prison by saying the bible told you you could beat your wife with a thin stick.

2:43 am

joso

I know the bible is a big and diverse book, passages have been found to justify slavery, torturing Spaniards, invading the holy lands, the feudal system, eugenics, keeping women down, wars and more. you really want people with a good spirit interpreting the bible, it has been so misused over time.

2:43 am

puglet

the thing with the Bible is that people takes things and turns them around to justifie their actions

2:44 am

puglet

so very true Joso

2:44 am

sprite

that too.

2:44 am

sprite

*giggles* And polygamy too.

2:45 am

sprite

only for men though. Which is pretty unfair.

2:46 am

joso

well that they got right, never should have changed that, lol

2:47 am

sprite

lol joso. Well, giving that right back to you men would be open for negotiations with me... but I want equal rights!

2:47 am

puglet

I think God goes by what is in the heart and soul--cause for me He has answered many prayers and I know there are many times hundreds of times Ive not been worthy, yet they are answered

2:48 am

sprite

you are totally worthy, dear pug. Take that on faith. Cause He showed you you were.

2:49 am

sprite

and yes, I agree. Whatever the Big Power is that I feel in everything, He reads our hearts and souls, and intentions.

2:49 am

puglet

and Sprite, it was only through a woman that He came from

2:50 am

sprite

:) Yes. A very strong woman, that Maria.

2:50 am

joso

polygamy is so stupid, we are born 50\50 gender split, marriage needs to acknowledge this

2:51 am

sprite

I am still proud and grateful that Rob is the father of our children, and gave them half of their genes.

2:51 am

puglet

Iam a mother figure in my marrige--or that is how my H sees me as I think

2:51 am

sprite

that is tough on you, pug :( You don't need another child. You deserve a husband.

2:53 am

puglet

by now Iam use to it maybe one day I will have what you have if its in His power to give or maybe in the next relm

2:54 am

sprite

He better. Or I will have words with Him.

2:54 am

puglet

lol

2:56 am

sprite

Joso, this might be interesting for you too:

2:56 am

joso

I doubt it's going to change much, but at least you don't have to feel guilty every time you stand up for yourself, you have every right to do so and should not add more pain to your situation with wrongly placed guilt. You are just as valuable as he is or anyone else for that matter.

2:56 am

puglet

Mrs Ruby's breed of dog is in the grid today

2:57 am

sprite

again, I am with joso

2:57 am

sprite

yes, I found it, thought of her too :)

2:57 am

puglet

thanks Joso and Sprite! Hugs to you guys for your caring and friendship

2:58 am

sprite

we luv you to pieces, dear one. It is as simple as that.

2:58 am

puglet

same here to you and Burl Ives-lol

2:58 am

sprite

joso, did you see the link I posted? Might get lost in chog otherwise.

2:59 am

sprite

oh, might be of interest to your sister as well, pug, that link!

2:59 am

puglet

okay, wrote it down

3:00 am

puglet

brb--coffee refill needed

3:02 am

joso

just back from reading it sprite

3:02 am

joso

I wonder it it is only almonds, I eat lots of nuts of all sorts

3:03 am

sprite

not sure. The article is specifically about almonds. Worth looking into.

3:04 am

joso

doesn't matter, i'll be eating nuts weather they are good for me or not, lol

3:04 am

sprite

hehehe I looked up the measures though. In Dutch, an 'ons' = 100 gram. But an ounce is a little over 28 gram.

3:05 am

joso

yea, she is talking puny amounts, a mouthfull

3:05 am

sprite

yes. Good to realise.

3:06 am

sprite

I could get an 'ons' from the shop, divide it in 4. Should work out fine.

3:06 am

sprite

I hope pug brings me a cuppa too, btw

3:06 am

joso

but i do prefer the dry roasted type

3:07 am

puglet

back and heres some for you both

3:07 am

sprite

great! Was hoping you would bring us some. *hugs*

3:07 am

puglet

I drink instant, sorry

3:07 am

sprite

no problem, so do we. Smells delicious, pug.

3:10 am

joso

they ran an add for almonds here once, two guys standing up to their hips in a large room of almonds. they chat about the goodness of almonds, how they've had a bumper crop, price is low, as more and more almonds added to the room. Last desperate plea is 'a can a day is all we ask'

3:10 am

puglet

sprite, hows the sunlamp working

3:12 am

sprite

lol joso

3:12 am

sprite

pug, so far so good. Am not depressed. First time in ages that I made it into november without losing hope.

3:12 am

puglet

are almonds a tree nut or a ground nut

3:13 am

joso

tree nut

3:13 am

puglet

great Sprite! that is wonderful

3:14 am

joso

originally poison, like peach pits, lots of cultivation back in the day to get an edible version

3:16 am

puglet

have you ever tasted a peach pit? It taste like Dr. Pepper and I didnt know they were poison

3:17 am

sprite

if I get through december without feeling down, I will know the lamp works. Nothing like december to push me deep into depression.

3:17 am

puglet

When I go to a place where they are roasting almonds I cant stand their smell. Something about it takes my breath away

3:18 am

puglet

Is that due to xmas or light

3:18 am

joso

peach pits have a lot of cyanide in them

3:18 am

sprite

sounds like your body clearly tells you they are not good for you, pug

3:19 am

joso

good thing the shell is so hard, keeps kids away from them

3:19 am

sprite

I think mostly due to light, though I don't like the stress in december, the commercialism, the forced upbeat merriment. For me, december is Midwinter, turning in, more meditative, celebrating the birth of light still deeply hidden, waiting for spring to get out in the open.

3:19 am

puglet

after another year or two I wont be able to eat nuts until I get falses--I got only one tooth left on top--lol

3:20 am

puglet

well maybe we can pull you through that month

3:20 am

sprite

aw sweet pug. I so hope you will be able to get new teeth sooner.

3:21 am

puglet

I got all my bottom teeth though and no cavities

3:21 am

joso

well the sun machine is working so far, maybe you will have a merrier Christmas this year sprite

3:22 am

sprite

I hope so, joso. I certainly feel better right now than I usually do in november.

3:22 am

puglet

but my top teeth, though in good shape(or were) they just loosen and I pulled them one by one and now 1 left in the back

3:23 am

joso

oy pug, sometimes i don't know how you keep as cheerful as you do.

3:23 am

sprite

argh... sounds painful :(

3:24 am

joso

sounds like scurvy, do you get much fruit pug?

3:24 am

puglet

all part of aging I guess--lol

3:24 am

puglet

yeah I eat fruit

joso

3:33 am

pink17

i read in spurts have a kindle so it is easy todownload books

3:33 am

puglet

How many books is there Sprite in this series

3:34 am

sprite

very nice and sexy reading, entertaining, good dialogues. You really feel connected to her characters. And if you read the books in order, you get another storyline that lies deeper. Lovely.

3:34 am

puglet

more then fluff almost to xrated-lol

3:35 am

pink17

50 shades of vampire lol

3:35 am

joso

3:36 am

sprite

ok pug... don't buy new ones yet.

3:36 am

pink17

ch 6?

3:37 am

puglet

when I order this set I dont know why they started with number 2 instead of 1

3:37 am

sprite

because Julian is not a DarkHunter. He is an ancient god.

3:38 am

puglet

do I need to read it to fit it into the line

3:39 am

joso

same sad story pink, got all the 4's

3:39 am

sprite

I think so. You want to know Julian and his love bettere too.

I know, joso, and I was :P

3:49 am

puglet

Have you read these books Joso

3:49 am

sprite

I have a copy of the one about my namesake with Sherrilyn's autograph. Atalante got it for me.

3:49 am

puglet

oh wow! Nice

3:49 am

sprite

yes, I treasure it :)

3:50 am

puglet

the next one I need is seize the night and so on

3:51 am

joso

no, not into the vamp thing

3:51 am

sprite

ok hun. Don't buy yet. I am gonna send you my copies since I have them all as ebook.

3:51 am

joso

except as the monsters they should be

3:51 am

puglet

I got my list you gave me but its only got about 20 on it---okay

3:52 am

puglet

its much more than vampires Joso

3:52 am

sprite

but real women's books, I think.

3:53 am

puglet

yet nothing like the vampire show and stories you've read before

3:53 am

puglet

they are good, glad you sent me to them

3:54 am

sprite

:)

3:54 am

puglet

Iam going to hate it when they come to a end though

3:55 am

joso

so I suspect, for fantasy I'm into the iron druid series and the dresden series

3:56 am

puglet

Ive been reading the books Rose sent too and Iam having trouble getting into it. But Iam just into it from a few chapters so I hope it changes. Dont want to hurt Roses feelings after all the trouble she went to

3:57 am

sprite

ooooo joso I am just reading the dresden files!

3:57 am

puglet

I will read them! Yes I will! lol

3:58 am

sprite

pug, just be honest with rose, she is not going to be hurt. And give it time. Some good books really take some time to grab you, but when they do...

3:58 am

joso

porr old harry, his challenges just get bigger and bigger.

3:58 am

sprite

am at book 10 of them, joso. I enjoy them very much. Takes quite a writer to be original about using garlic to slay vampires.

3:58 am

puglet

I know and I think it will change once I get into them more

3:59 am

sprite

lol yes, poor harry. And still no love of his own.

3:59 am

puglet

Are they as good as the DH's books Sprite

3:59 am

sprite

and I love the dry style of writing. Good dialogues too.

4:00 am

sprite

very different, pug. They are about a modern day wizard, who openly does his trade. In a world that mostly denies magic exists. It is fun. Not sexy. Well written.

4:01 am

joso

I love how he has a drop dead gorgeous 18 year old babe of an apprentice, daughter of a good friend, whom he has to keep fending off passes from.

4:02 am

sprite

lol yes! And I am kinda in love with the skull. Bob is so great.

4:02 am

joso

and the fieriest cat in the world

4:02 am

puglet

do you see yourself as this Harry, Joso?

4:02 am

joso

yea, bob the pervert

4:02 am

sprite

and the biggest dog ever, who is more than just a dog and is named Mouse

4:03 am

rubyfoo

hello?

4:03 am

joso

a similar sense of humor, and moral code, but otherwise no

4:03 am

sprite

it was rather sad when Bob was taken by that dark wizard and had a personality transplant. Glad he is back to being himself.

4:03 am

joso

hi ruby

4:03 am

rubyfoo

Oh, boy, my friends are here!

4:03 am

4:06 am

sprite

ah am so glad, ruby! That is what you need, a bit of support and niceness. Glad you are smiling again. *hug*

4:07 am

sprite

ok, the ch6 and 7 are odd ones

4:08 am

rubyfoo

how cold is it there, sprite? It is around 7C here but with a howling wind, so it feels worse

4:08 am

sprite

biological words. Singular and latin plural.

4:09 am

sprite

right now it is lovely here, ruby. Sun is out, temp is around 10 celcius, almost no wind. Yesterday was horrible, hard winds, rain, hail and cold.

4:09 am

puglet

I love sleeping with a winter howling wind slapping against the windows

4:09 am

rubyfoo

your new icon is adorable, pugs

4:10 am

rubyfoo

wind makes me uneasy, I don't know why

4:10 am

puglet

4:11 am

rubyfoo

4:11 am

puglet

I feel for those that were in that typoon

4:11 am

sprite

wind does that to people who are sensitive to weather, ruby. Changes in air pressure etc.

4:12 am

sprite

animals and children will tell us a storm is approaching... when they go wild with no reason, better close the windows :)

4:13 am

rubyfoo

ruby was terrified of windstorms until she got to be 9 and I think her hearing was less keen

4:15 am

Hello, everyone! Getting back on my feet nicely...actually worked today! Hooray for avoiding a stroke!

3:26 pm

lynxxx

hi Mimi - what on earth happened?!

3:28 pm

MimiCat

((lynx)) I had a recurrence of afib (uneven heart rhythm) and had to get to my cardiologist quickly on Wed. Medication is working. I felt it coming on for over a week but I had gotten to the point that I was short of breath just getting up and going into the kitchen and my heart was literally pounding. Good to go now, though! Had a heart attack last year so need to pay attention.

3:30 pm

lynxxx

phew! better get onto him more quickly next time though so you don't risk another episode

3:31 pm

MimiCat

Yes, live and learn. I was on the verge of passing out several times, so called a taxi and got over there. He says I now need to be on medication the rest of my life...which I HATE! But better than having a stroke.

3:32 pm

MimiCat

I'm better at taking care of others than myself!

3:33 pm

But I think I'm finally realizing that if I don't take care of myself, I won't be able to take care of anyone else.

3:34 pm

lynxxx

I was just about to write the same thing. Have you started selling your home yet so you can move before Summer?

3:35 pm

MimiCat

I live in an apt. so that's not an issue. Must wait for my lawsuit to settle (hopefully in my favor) so I'll have the money to move. How amazing of you to remember that, lynx!! You're so thoughtful.

3:36 pm

lynxxx

not at all - I just remember thinking how unbearable that searing heat would be to live in

3:37 pm

MimiCat

Don't know if you remember, lynx, that my daughter and I weren't speaking...over a year. We are now back in touch and I think I have my baby girl back (baby--27 and a paralegal). Happy, happy!

3:38 pm

MimiCat

Have had a very difficult time the past couple of years...considered suicide seriously. But I'm proof that if you hang in there long enough and keep trying, things usually work out. For me now, pleasure is merely the absence of pain!

3:38 pm

lynxxx

I have a 29 yo that I am pretty close to so I can imagine how painful that would have been for you.I think they will always be your baby - you just can't let them 'see' iot

3:40 pm

MimiCat

I also have two sons, ages 32 and 29, and I love them dearly, but my daughter and I have always had a special relationship. She does, however, tend to judge a bit harshly....gee, don't know where she gets that! I'm so much more understanding than I was in my youth.

3:41 pm

MimiCat

There's something to be said for living long enough to know how much you don't know!

3:42 pm

crosshair

((mimi))

3:43 pm

lynxxx

Yes. In hindsight I remember how I treated my mother whilst in my 20s - nothing brutal just basically ignored because I was tied tied up in my own life.

3:44 pm

MimiCat

((crossy)) So glad to see you!

3:44 pm

lynxxx

We are quite similar, I have a son age 35 and I never thought I could be closer to a child - until my daughter came along

3:44 pm

MimiCat

It's very comforting to be in your 20s and have all the answers. Now that I'm 62, not only do I not have all the answers, I'm not even sure I understand all the questions!

3:46 pm

MimiCat

It is a wonderful thing to get to this point and really know how fortunate I am and be truly grateful what I DO have rather than lament what I DON'T.

3:47 pm

lynxxx

At this age you realise what you don't really need to be happy

3:48 pm

lynxxx

I must get going - lots on today. Bye Mimi and Cross

3:48 pm

MimiCat

My ex-husband and I are very close. We're a good support system for each other. Much better at being divorced than married. I want to rip his girlfriend a new one for mistreating him the way she does!

3:48 pm

MimiCat

Bye, lynx, dear. Good to touch base with you! Big hug.

3:48 pm

crosshair

mimi, if i ever hear even a rumour of you trying to off yourself, i will come down there, toss your sorry carcass in the back of the jeep and drive you to a place where you can be buried that will have chickens pooping on you for eternity..so behave

3:48 pm

crosshair

tc,lynxx

3:50 pm

MimiCat

((crossy)) You are so dear. No, that time has thankfully passed. I was serious, though. Knew how I was going to do it and had the letters written and was giving things away. Then my feisty side took over and said "I'll be damned if I let you get the best of me!" Have always been grateful for the feisty side......

3:51 pm

crosshair

well, stay feisty

3:51 pm

MimiCat

Yep----I'm a redhead! (Well, it used to be natural.)

3:52 pm

crosshair

mm,a red head..that explains a lot....lol

3:52 pm

MimiCat

A redhead and Irish...that says it all!

3:53 pm

crosshair

though when in our teens and twenties,when going to a party,we soon learned to hook up with a red head for the evening.they always new how to party hard lol

3:53 pm

crosshair

irish?? well that is it.all over..everyone out of the pool and call the cops now lol

3:54 pm

MimiCat

I am so re-excited by life now that there just aren't enough hours in the day...my gratitude for this near phase of life never ends. LOL on the comments!

3:54 pm

MimiCat

new phase

3:55 pm

MimiCat

Weird phantom....acetate.

3:56 pm

crosshair

yup,remember,there is always something new and interesting just over the horizon

3:57 pm

MimiCat

What did we ever do without computers?!!

3:57 pm

crosshair

we did jig saw,puzzles,read more and watched gobs of television

3:58 pm

MimiCat

It's always amazing to me how tuned in animals are to us. While I was getting sick, my cats would not leave me and kept looking into my face and "talking" to me....they knew. We can learn so much from them.

3:58 pm

crosshair

yes,they have a sense of things

3:59 pm

MimiCat

But with my twisted brain, all I could envision was having a stroke, not being able to feed them, and them having to eat me!! Yeah...I know...twisted.

3:59 pm

crosshair

lol,would be a good stephen kig book

3:59 pm

crosshair

king

4:00 pm

MimiCat

Wait until you read the book I'm writing about my life...Stephen King has NOTHING on me!

4:00 pm

crosshair

or think on this next time you think on skipping your meds..having a stroke, but not dying,rather just lingering on for 5 or 8 days with half your body seized up,so take those meds

4:02 pm

crosshair

there you go! i want to see a book form you.will keep you busy;))

4:02 pm

crosshair

from

4:02 pm

MimiCat

One of the thoughts that kept me from attempting suicide is that I was afraid I wouldn't actually die but live impaired and only wish I was dead.

4:03 pm

crosshair

i am taking so many english classes this year,that i have become a pro at editing,so send me a rough draft when you are ready and i can dissect it for you:)

4:03 pm

MimiCat

Oh, I have been writing. Must say, it really has been an epic life...and not done yet! But if they want to put it on film, it will have to be a miniseries...way too much for just a movie!

4:04 pm

MimiCat

I've actually written all my life. Wrote a one-act play when I was 10. But I have nothing substantial to show for it...it all got lost or destroyed along the way....sad.

4:06 pm

crosshair

well,now with modern technology,you can keep spare drafts all on a tiny usb key that you can keep on your keychain

4:06 pm

MimiCat

My best friend of 44 years kept ALL the letters I wrote her, though. Now, reading those again will really humble you! Wow--have a changed...I think much for the better.

4:08 pm

MimiCat

All I know is at this point in my life, with all I've been through, I have reached my crap quota....not taking ANY more!

4:09 pm

crosshair

lol,i did a summary piece today on a sort story.darn thing too all day,had 2 rough drafts,3 editing rewrites and a semi-polished copy and a final copy.40 pages of paper for a summary review on a short story.was insane

4:09 pm

crosshair

short

4:10 pm

MimiCat

You know how most people dream in pictures? Well, I sometimes dream in words...and must wake up and write them down immediately. Very weird.

4:11 pm

crosshair

i have much more respect for published authors now.they must go through reams and reams of paper before a final clean copy is laying on the desk,because i do not know about them but i edit better when rough drafts are printed out and not just on the screen

4:11 pm

crosshair

lol,you do have the writers brain then,mimi

4:13 pm

MimiCat

I was so proud that after 30 years of not writing "technical" stuff, I went back to school, had to write an original research paper of 2500 words and got 100%. That meant so much to me. I published on research in my 20s but nothing since.

4:14 pm

MimiCat

I must always fall asleep with the TV on to distract me or I am awake all night just living in my brain. Hey...it's a nice place to visit but I don't want to live there!

4:16 pm

lbuxx

clue for FI 4/7 please

4:16 pm

MimiCat

I hope you know I'm definitely taking you up on your offer to visit next spring! So looking forward to meeting you and your beloved. Rest up....what a time we will have! Maybe I'll have a draft of the book with me....optimism.

4:17 pm

MimiCat

ibuxx..think sports car.

4:17 pm

lbuxx

geez..

4:18 pm

lbuxx

that helped! thank you

4:18 pm

lbuxx

thank you!

4:18 pm

MimiCat

Any time...I never get to clue! I'm so happy!

4:19 pm

lbuxx

4:20 pm

MimiCat

I'm an underachiever here...never finish...and don't really care! Now I'm here more for the company. Fabulous group of people.

4:21 pm

MimiCat

I've been missing smores so am going to email her.....anyone want me to say hello for them?

4:22 pm

lbuxx

yeah.. unfortunately I'm not here very often.. i sneak in every now and then at work.. try to get a start at lunch and then finish up after.. i get to chat every now and then..

4:23 pm

MimiCat

I have a Babble meet coming up soon and looking forward to it. Now that the weather is beautiful again here in Phoenix, lots of people coming back or visiting.

4:23 pm

MimiCat

BTW, ibuxx...I was once offered a job at the St. Louis Zoo!

4:23 pm

lbuxx

very nice

4:24 pm

lbuxx

really? that would have been awesome. I have a friend who works there in marketing/ PR

4:24 pm

MimiCat

I have a lot of experience working with exotic animals. Lots of stories there...

4:25 pm

MimiCat

I was just passing through on my way back home to California at the time. I actually was offered several jobs at zoos on that trip.

4:26 pm

lbuxx

we have another thing in common- my fiance is from CA.. lol

4:26 pm

MimiCat

Crossy, did I scare you away at the thought of me visiting you?!!

4:26 pm

lbuxx

Monterey County

4:26 pm

lbuxx

It is beautiful there!

4:27 pm

MimiCat

MY FAVORITE PLACE!! Carmel is my idea of heaven. I told me kids when I die to scatter my ashes over the 17-mile-drive and that way if they want to visit Mom, they get a nice vacation!

4:27 pm

crosshair

i would never hide from you,mimi.had to make the offspring some dinner so was AWK

4:28 pm

crosshair

AFK*

4:28 pm

lbuxx

lol.. that is awesome.. we went to Carmel and did the 17 mile drive as well.. had lunch at the golf course i think..

4:28 pm

MimiCat

Awww, crossy!

4:28 pm

crosshair

and 100% on a 2500 word research paper is amazing no matter what age you do it at!

4:29 pm

lbuxx

nice talking mimi but i gotta run.. have a great weekend everyone!

4:29 pm

MimiCat

Bye, ibuxx!

4:29 pm

crosshair

the rule of thumb however is that nobody ever gets 100% you could get 98 or 99 but never,ever 100,that way you do not bust the grading curve of the class

4:30 pm

MimiCat

I have my own grading curve, crossy.....

4:30 pm

crosshair

new grading i suppose

4:30 pm

crosshair

:)

4:31 pm

MimiCat

Have yet again forgotten to eat and getting shaky, so better get a tidbit. See you tomorrow, crossy, dear. Always so good talking with you. You really cheer me. BIG HUG.

4:31 pm

crosshair

my niece just finished getting 120% in science that cause them to do some fancy back tracking.they did not think she could get 100% on all the bonus work as well as the regular work,she is so smart in grade 11 that it is scary.the universities are already sniffing around

4:32 pm

crosshair

(mimi) tc and tc of yourself

4:32 pm

MimiCat

Good for her, crossy....scholarships! I will and you do the same.

4:41 pm

crosshair

well.neck is killing me.time to get off this infernal machine and over to my comfy la-z-boy and my tablet;)

4:42 pm

MimiCat

Not to brag, but I had to beat them off with a stick all my life...of course, it was a small stick most of the time..and I showed little commitment.

4:42 pm

MimiCat

I see an em waiting from my daughter...this is a good day.

hi, everyone

9:02 pm

welki

sheesh - i need to look at the post times

9:02 pm

joso

hi ho hotcake head

9:03 pm

welki

i like to mix it up a little :)

9:04 pm

welki

usually keep my icons in a fishing theme, but what the heck - i've had this one before and it's pretty darned appropriate

9:04 pm

joso

:)

9:04 pm

welki

joso, you work in IT?

9:04 pm

joso

darned appropriate, How on earth is it darned appropriate??

9:05 pm

welki

because most of the time, i really have no clue what some people are talking about

9:06 pm

joso

I have from time to time, not working just now

9:06 pm

joso

ah, I was forgetting the caption

9:08 pm

welki

for instance, a friend of mine posted six things on facebook that people supposedly didn't know about her. i didn't know it was a facebook type challenge, so i posted six more things, thinks that i know about her. turned out well, i made her laugh :)

9:08 pm

joso

do you have a IT problem welki?

9:09 pm

welki

nope, was curious is all

9:09 pm

joso

A challenge from facebook?

9:09 pm

welki

(actually, i always have IT problems at work, but i have an army of techs who, for some reason, always rescue me - they're a great bunch of folks)

9:10 pm

welki

(they know i only call when something is REALLY wrong)

9:11 pm

welki

'course, buying them coffee and donuts doesn't hurt

9:12 pm

joso

sometimes the smallest bribes are the most effective

9:12 pm

welki

the facebook thing - from what i gather, someone posts a post like i described - if you 'like' it, they send you a number and then you're supposed to list that many things that people likely don't know about you

9:12 pm

welki

they're not bribes - they're thanks. my heros - and i let them know they are

9:13 pm

jmcnrick

hi all

9:13 pm

9:15 pm

snags

9:15 pm

jmcnrick

so what

9:15 pm

welki

jmc, have you 'met' joso? joso, jmc is my favorite babbler

9:15 pm

joso

hi jmc

9:16 pm

jmcnrick

*second try* so what's new i am terribly behind in babbleland gossip

9:16 pm

welki

so what - what?

9:16 pm

joso

yes, I've met jmc, just polite chitchat to date

9:16 pm

welki

i've not been here much either - i have enough b.s. in real life :)

9:16 pm

jmcnrick

joso and i have met before. . . and i heard the rumor he was a phantom. . .

9:17 pm

welki

yes, i heard that too - what i wonder is why there was never a rumour about US!?

9:17 pm

jmcnrick

what?!?!?!? you have already forgotten our night nekkid in the hottub? *sniff*

9:17 pm

joso

well jmc, kind of old news now, but have you heard that i am a clone of crossy

9:17 pm

welki

that's exactly what i meant - that wild, hot night

9:17 pm

jmcnrick

i has been working my tail off ty very much. . . .

9:18 pm

jmcnrick

no joso was in the hottub with me in the chog. . .

9:18 pm

jmcnrick

i would have thought you was his brother in the pic joso! haha

9:18 pm

welki

ohhhh, i thought you were talking about our night "together"

9:19 pm

jmcnrick

welki and i merely got drunk and looked at zebra photos until dawn. . . .

9:19 pm

welki

joso, there was a babble meet in new jersey last spring - jmc and i bunked togeter

9:19 pm

welki

yes, that's true

9:19 pm

joso

now that sounds like a babble meet where pictures should have been taken

9:19 pm

jmcnrick

obviously i made a big impression on joso *goes to sulk in the corner*

9:20 pm

welki

we met with hego, mr hego, dorens, owl, jbv and nrkii - had a great time

9:20 pm

jmcnrick

there were pics but in the restaurant when we were relatively sober. . .

9:21 pm

welki

relatively is a relative term

9:21 pm

joso

no no, hot tub pix are the thing

9:21 pm

jmcnrick

i don't photograph well in the buff. . .

9:21 pm

welki

sorry to disappoint, there were none. however, be thankful, because if there had been some, they might have made your eyes bleed

9:22 pm

joso

sounds great, ours was just a nice brunch, yours sounds like a party

9:22 pm

jmcnrick

i did finally figure out that o-o is BR. . . i think. . . .

9:22 pm

jmcnrick

welki and were separated at birth. . . .

9:22 pm

welki

again, true

9:23 pm

jmcnrick

except i refuse to go to canada and ha** fishing. . . but other than that. . .

9:23 pm

joso

I was told that is the case, but BR is before my time

9:23 pm

welki

can't wait until the next time we get together - maybe spring?

9:23 pm

welki

you haven't technically 'refused' to come to canada, you're just being stubborn

9:24 pm

jmcnrick

it was a nice calm dinner joso. . . the party happened when welki and i got back to the hotel. . . we babbled while drinking jack and other fine spirits. . .

9:24 pm

phandmd

good evening.

9:24 pm

welki

<--- grateful we didn't have to walk far to the bed. i think we called it quits - 3am? 4am?

9:24 pm

welki

hi phan

9:25 pm

jmcnrick

we will see. i am currently doing the moral equivalent of a three star chef doing prep work for a two star chef. . . i work from 8 to 7 unless i can't take it any more and just leave. . .

9:25 pm

welki

it's months away, we can plan

9:25 pm

joso

hi phand

9:25 pm

jmcnrick

we were waving the brits off to work by the time we got to bed. . . .maybe to lunch. . . .

9:25 pm

jmcnrick

hi phand

9:26 pm

welki

we had fun - well, i had a LOT of fun

9:26 pm

jmcnrick

WE had fun. . .

9:26 pm

welki

how's your cat doing, phan?

9:27 pm

jmcnrick
