I am exhausted

flosey

I bet you are, sometimes when congested, it's worse to lie down so I bundle up in an lazyboy chair, start to read and often fall sleep

1:32 am

periwinkle

wish I had a lazyboy

1:32 am

periwinkle

I have vicks

1:33 am

periwinkle

my chair is not comfortable enough to sleep in

Hello, pug

3:04 am

puglet

morning OO--I think we are getting some of your nasty weather--and how are you today

3:05 am

o-o

stay warm

3:06 am

puglet

I plan of it! Its snowing like crazy here right now and first of the week we are to get temps we havent had in 20 years----14 below :(

3:07 am

o-o

I am ... anything else would be not so positive

3:08 am

puglet

part of your quote is in the grid today and thats a very true statement

3:09 am

o-o

DANGEROUSLY COLD ARCTIC AIR IS EXPECTED FOR THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. LIFE THREATENING WIND CHILLS OF 40 BELOW TO 60 BELOW ZERO ARE EXPECTED SUNDAY INTO MONDAY.

3:10 am

grannyrose

hey, i'm back. what does he not understand about a small meal, please. for goodness sake...a large dinner plate of food..guaranteed to stop an already sickly appetite in it's tracks. hello o-o. can you please help me to understand?

3:10 am

puglet

oh OO, thats really bad. I hope you take care and bundle up VERY good if you need to go out and I also hope your water lines dont freeze up

3:11 am

grannyrose

ugh, o-o and pugs. sending lots of warm wishes your way.

3:11 am

puglet

He dont want you to waste away!

3:11 am

o-o

National Weather Service alert for my area

3:12 am

puglet

OO is having it much worse then I

3:13 am

puglet

I forgot to eat yesterday and now my tummy is griping about it--lol

3:13 am

o-o

not so bad ... I just have to remember wearing shorts might be inappropriate

3:13 am

grannyrose

o-o, what do i need to say to him? he feels great...i feel sh**. what can i say which will not make him feel bad?

3:14 am

puglet

eat what you want and hide the rest when his back is turned

3:15 am

grannyrose

lolol...a tad difficult, pugs. and i would really value o-o's words. he is a male, and so is don.

3:16 am

puglet

you need a dog that likes lots of hand outs

3:17 am

zoozzoom

Just be honest, Rose, Tell him exactly how you feel...he loves you a great deal..he will understand.

3:17 am

grannyrose

yeah, pugs. but don can't see the correctness of having a pet, and feeding it, when so many humans are going hungry.

3:18 am

puglet

back in the old days people thought food was a pick-me-up and so maybe he thinks he is showing his love by making sure you have enough to eat. And too be glad you got a good guy

3:18 am

puglet

Hello Zoom--how did the family dinner go

3:19 am

grannyrose

thanx, zooz. i am completely stumped. apart from handing a dinner plate back which is still half full of food. it seems such a terrible waste.

3:19 am

zoozzoom

Tell him you know he is doing his best for you..but you just can not handle large meals at the moment no matter how delicous they are.

3:19 am

o-o

perhaps put it in terms of what your doctors said, whether they did or not. for example, must eat so and so and so much to help recovery .... so, ask Don to ask you what you can eat to comply with doctor's orders

3:19 am

zoozzoom

Hello, all :-)

3:19 am

zoozzoom

The dinner went well thank you, Pugs :-)

3:20 am

rubyfoo

good morning!

3:20 am

ahhh, good words, thanx o-o.

Hello, Ruby :-)

3:20 am

puglet

Howdy Ruby

3:20 am

grannyrose

3:21 am

puglet

how are things with you Ruby

3:21 am

grannyrose

and zooz, thanx also. will ponder.

3:22 am

rubyfoo

{{{roie}}} I haven't seen you in ages! What happened to cause you feelig so poorly?

3:23 am

rubyfoo

""pugs}} - still owe you a long letter!

3:23 am

rubyfoo

3:23 am

rubyfoo

3:24 am

grannyrose

ruby, dear. just a combination of stuff. pain, pain meds, and frustration at not being able to do stuff.

3:24 am

rubyfoo

It is pouring with rain right now, very weird for January. The snowbirds must be miserable because rain on top of snow, rain, snow, ice, etc. makes for dangerous and yucky conditions. Olus, who wants to ski in the rain

3:24 am

puglet

Rose, are you sure you are not having a spell of depression

3:25 am

rubyfoo

aaah, poor Rosie! As for the good, eat what you can and tell your swet husband that less is more! Small portion on big plate helps the appetite.

3:25 am

grannyrose

*eye-roll* pugs....it is most certainly likely...between the two mothers, surgery....

3:25 am

rubyfoo

food* (or good food)

3:26 am

grannyrose

ruby, i am trying to get it through to him...but he forgets...at least he cooks me meals.

3:27 am

puglet

I think you are by the way you sound and the things you are doing. I know for me this time of the year brings it on me for a bit.

3:27 am

rubyfoo

is he a good cook?

3:28 am

grannyrose

xoxox, pugs and ruby...and o-o and zooz. yes, ruby...but he needs to take into account my appetite is so lousy.

3:31 am

grannyrose

god love him...he just picked up my plate, and said...tonight you had too much...response, yes dear.

3:32 am

rubyfoo

I think he's a keeper, rose

3:32 am

puglet

Have you been grumpy with Don, Rose since you are depressed? If so maybe he thinks if he keeps you eating you cant gripe--lol

3:35 am

o-o

Rose, have you talked to your doctors about how you feel? Do they know what you have been dealing with in addition to the knee problems?

3:36 am

o-o

Is there a physical reason for your "lousy" appetite?

3:36 am

puglet

Rose are you crying, laughing or peeing?

3:36 am

grannyrose

o-o, yes i have. but i am not sure they fully realise the implications.

3:37 am

o-o

Loss of appetite is a symptom of depression as you know

3:38 am

puglet

and the crying and the not wanting to talk as well

3:38 am

grannyrose

o-o, medical research has shown a close co-relation between pain and appetite. in fact, it is well documented. trying to help don to understand is another scenario altogether. ahhh, o-o you are so right...maybe i need an anti-depressant??

3:40 am

o-o

Mayo Clinic: http://tinyurl.com/82bjmjl

3:40 am

grannyrose

yes, pugs. i have an appointment on the 9th...will talk it out with doctor then. until then, please be gentle with me.

3:40 am

grannyrose

thanx o-o

3:40 am

puglet

always Rose

3:41 am

rubyfoo

I wouldn't go on an anti-depresssant so fast, rose. First of all, they take 2 weeks to kick in. Second, they have some unpleasant side effects which would enhanced some of the effects of the painkillers.

3:42 am

rubyfoo

Take it from someone who knows about psychotropic meds!

your depression, if it is that, is perfectly explainable, situational rather than chemical

3:43 am

grannyrose

okay, ruby. but please be aware, my chemist, always double and cross-checks any new meds i am put onto.

3:44 am

rubyfoo

some of the side effects are not necessarily considered such a problem (by the md's and pharmacists), but (pardonme, everybody) constipdation is the worst one

3:45 am

grannyrose

ruby, if i am put onto anti-depressants, i would have to come off the natural remedy i am using for my fibromyalgia.

3:45 am

rubyfoo

painkillers cause it as do anti-d's

3:46 am

grannyrose

lol, yes i know. but this time i am on much lower doses. last year i got into a terrible pickle.

3:47 am

rubyfoo

that can make other problems pale by comparison!

3:47 am

grannyrose

roflol...needed gloves and lubricant last year. not a problem this year...

3:48 am

rubyfoo

I owe you an e-mail, hunee, on that and other subjects! lol

3:48 am

o-o

the chemical imbalance hypothesis is losing favor ... and I was pointing out the possibility in the sense of asking about it. I have been treated for many years, ruby ... I am not unlearned in the area.

3:48 am

sprite

good morning all

3:49 am

o-o

Hello, sprite

3:49 am

grannyrose

o-o, i would never under-value your opinion, mate.

3:49 am

zoozzoom

Ok bath water ready...sending lots of love & comfort thoughts & hugs to you ((Rose))...you are much loved here in babbleland...try your best to keep your chin up...i know it is hard..but you can do it...bye for now.

3:49 am

Hello/bye, Spritey :-)

3:49 am

bye zoom

3:49 am

rubyfoo

o[o, I had 3 bouts of"chemical depression" many years ago. They started EXACTLY 18 months apart and I was treated with elavil. They were bad enough to put me in bed with my shoes on!

3:49 am

grannyrose

thanx zooz, enjoy mate.

3:50 am

sprite

bye zooz *hugs*

3:51 am

puglet

Sprite I just loved the rainbows--it was so pretty

3:51 am

sprite

I don't think there are many anti-deps that you haven't had prescribed at some point, are there, o-o?

3:52 am

sprite

am so glad, pug :) It was a pleasure creating it.

3:52 am

puglet

I have never tried anti-depression meds. They scare me

3:55 am

o-o

I have been around a few blocks with medications and therapy .... treatment is a tool ... something to put to professionals for guidance

3:55 am

puglet

how are you Sprite today and did you read in the back log that Rose heard from Joso and his computer is down

3:55 am

sprite

have fought like a tiger the first time my doctor suggested taking them, took me ages to decide to follow her advice. And then it took a long time to find the right ones. But now I say: if you are depressed for a long time and can't get out of it, go for it. It makes so much difference if you find the right ones.

3:56 am

sprite

no pug, but he emailed us all. Didn't you get the email? I saw your name in the header.

3:56 am

puglet

not that I know of--I will have to check

3:56 am

sprite

I agree, o-o. It is not a layman's (sp?) matter.

3:57 am

puglet

one of my sister has bi-polar depression and she came too close to taking her own life on anti-depression meds

3:58 am

sprite

have forwarded it, pug. I see he sent it to me twice. Might be mixed up with you.

3:58 am

puglet

okay, thanks Sprite

3:59 am

sprite

yes, that can happen indeed, pug. That is why people on antideps have to be monitored closely to see if it is the right one for them. It is very very personal.

4:00 am

sprite

I am very lucky in that the combination I am on now works so very well for me. I realise that and am grateful for it.

4:01 am

puglet

OO, may I ask, did your or does your sickness come from serviing in the service

4:01 am

grannyrose

back.. some of the natural herbs in the med for my fibromyalgia are anti-depressants. my chemist lets me know if they clash.

4:02 am

puglet

and we are lucky too Sprite

4:03 am

sprite

hiya rose, *hugs* Too early for antideps, I think? You have been through way too many ordeals this last year and now you are in pain. Not at all strange that you are feeling down. You have reason.

4:03 am

grannyrose

i try to use natural remedies. usually easier to come off, than the chemical ones.

4:03 am

puglet

It dont help Rose that you cant be busy with yourself either

4:04 am

grannyrose

:-) sprite. you are so right...

4:04 am

grannyrose

btw, sprite, received and read your email. thanx dear.

4:05 am

o-o

vietnam did not help but is not the main reason for the demons I fight

4:05 am

sprite

if you can, dear friend, tell yourself: "It is ok to feel what I feel right now. It will pass, but for now I will take extra good care of myself because I need and deserve it.'

4:05 am

grannyrose

pugs, i am normally very busy physically.

4:05 am

sprite

love you, rose. You know it. *hugs*

4:06 am

sprite

growing up with an abusive parent often scars us for life.

4:06 am

grannyrose

awww o-o. gentle hugs, if you will allow it.

4:07 am

o-o

Interesting article: http://tinyurl.com/pbuc7r8

4:08 am

puglet

I find there are many things in life that chips away at us

4:08 am

grannyrose

yeah, sprite, as you say. but now i can move forward without her over-shadowing me...such an interesting concept.

4:09 am

puglet

my anti-depression meds are you guys right here

4:09 am

sprite

true, pug. And if we have been damaged from early childhood on, we often lack the resilience to bounce back... or we have used it up, maybe. Don't know.

4:10 am

sprite

so true, rose. It will liberate you. But for now, just feel what you feel and know it is normal for the situation. And we are here for you.

4:11 am

grannyrose

o-o. tried the addy, didn't work. could you please email me? maybe it will work from there.

4:11 am

sprite

lol pug, ok!

4:12 am

grannyrose

thanx, sprite. i really need to bring don into the picture. i don't think he understands how much pain and pain meds effect one's libido. * sigh *

4:14 am

sprite

ask him to email me, lol, rose. I will tell him. Gladly. Man do they ever! I didn't care about lovemaking one bit when I was on oxycodone.

4:15 am

grannyrose

oh, so glad, sprite. was beginning to doubt what i felt.

4:15 am

sprite

ah, I see, o-o. Interesting. Funny how for scientists this is such a weird concept, while for most of us it is a no-brainer. Of course what we eat and breathe and do during our pregnancies will affect the baby! It has to grow from 2 cells to a full human baby in 9 months and it needs building blocks. Tsk.

4:16 am

grannyrose

but i looove his kisses...

4:16 am

sprite

time for lots of kisses, hugs and caresses, rose. And if he flips, introduce him to his right hand. Or left. Or both. He will have to be patient and wait for you to be ready again.

4:16 am

o-o

sprite, please send the url to rose

4:17 am

sprite

will do, o-o

4:17 am

grannyrose

oh, my...roflol...sprite!!!

4:17 am

puglet

Rose, its been along time since your mind and body has had a chance to just relax with out all the outside worries. You are going through alot of changes right now

4:18 am

grannyrose

understand, o-o. your privacy is paramount. sorry to ask you, and put you on the spot, so to speak.

4:18 am

sprite

sent

4:19 am

grannyrose

ta sprite

4:20 am

puglet

Sprite it was on my mind this morning, has your daughter gotten better since they have been out of school

4:21 am

sprite

I think so, pug. She is doing a lot of fun things and is enjoying them. So that is a real good sign. She still looks like a little raccoon though. Of course, she didn't sleep much at her friend's yesterday.

4:23 am

puglet

we got snow coming down the size of nickles and heavy too

4:24 am

sprite

oh wow. Beautiful to look at, pug, but not at all practical.

4:24 am

sprite

tell my son that noob is not a word

4:25 am

grannyrose

o-o, got the link through sprite. will read it all over the next day or so. it is now almost 9:30pm here. and i have meds on board. thanx mate, it looks very interesting.

4:26 am

puglet

I know and tomorrow and saturday I have to take everyone to town to do their things and the first of the week 14 below---but OO has 40 below wind chills

4:26 am

grannyrose

poor caya, sprite. hope she catches up on her snooze time over the next few nights.

4:26 am

sprite

I hope things will work out, pug, and you can do it all safely

4:27 am

sprite

I will tell her to go to sleep earlier this week, rose. I think she has the same idea already herself.

4:27 am

sprite

o-o, that is SO cold! I hope you have a heated hammock.

4:27 am

puglet

when do they return to school

4:27 am

grannyrose

better to let her think it's her own idea, sprite...

4:28 am

sprite

true, rose, true

4:28 am

sprite

pug, on Monday again

4:30 am

o-o

phantom: disambiguation

4:30 am

sprite

lol

4:30 am

grannyrose

our schools don't go back for another 4 weeks, i think. please don't quote me...lolol

4:31 am

puglet

ours go back monday too

4:31 am

grannyrose

it's either late january or early february. not being part of the system i am not sure.

4:32 am

puglet

I dont know that word is it one of those jibberwhacky words?

4:32 am

puglet

boy they get out along time there

4:34 am

grannyrose

yeah, pugs. then a short break about easter, a longer one in june/july, another short one in november....and we are back to christmas again. boy!!! 2014 went quickly. lolol

4:35 am

sprite

pug, no it is a real word. It means to clear up the difference if you have two things that seem to mean the same.

4:36 am

puglet

like pare and pair?

4:36 am

lynxxx

Hello everyone

4:36 am

sprite

Xmas next year you will be running around like your usual squirrelly self, rose, you will ride your bike again and will feel chipper.

4:36 am

puglet

HI lyn

4:36 am

sprite

hi lyn! xxx :)

4:36 am

lynxxx

This is our 'summer vacation' for schools Pug

4:36 am

o-o

cognitive polyphasia and cognitive dissonance

4:37 am

sprite

right, pug. If there is confusion over the use of those two words and someone clears it up, it is called disambiguation.

4:37 am

grannyrose

whoa!!! lyn!! how are you dear? have you had a good one?

4:37 am

puglet

Rose do the kids go to school from 8am to 3:30 pm

4:37 am

lynxxx

hi Rose - very good one

4:38 am

grannyrose

and, yes, that is grannyrose's way of saying happy christmas, and a wonderful new year...lolol

4:40 am

lynxxx

Our Junior schools are 9.00am to 3.30pm. Secondary Schools 9.00 to 4.00 Puglet

4:40 am

puglet

when I see huge flakes of snow like we are having I wonder if this is how God sent the manna to his people while they were on their journey

4:42 am

grannyrose

lolol, what lyn said. sorry, was wolfing down a serve of plum pudding.

4:42 am

sprite

sort of, pug, but much more substantial :)

4:43 am

lynxxx

I think the Israelites were joiurneying through a desert - though I am sure a few snowflakes wouldn't have gone astray

4:43 am

sprite

my dog is in the grid :D

4:44 am

puglet

I could see manna coming down in much of the manner as the snow

4:44 am

lynxxx

TY Sprite

4:44 am

grannyrose

your dog is called 'rat' ?

4:44 am

o-o

If so, I hope there were signs posted about the requisite of having a hard hat

4:45 am

sprite

lol rose. Close. But no cigar.

4:45 am

puglet

lol OO

4:45 am

grannyrose

lolol, sprite

4:45 am

sprite

must be in the bible somewhere, o-o. "Blessed are those with hard heads, for they can walk through the desert without helmet."

4:46 am

lynxxx

that sounds right

4:47 am

grannyrose

okay, nearly 10pm here. think i had better be making my way to the bed. thanx to you all, for lifting my spirits. thanx o-o, sprite and pugs.

4:47 am

lynxxx

sweet dreams Rose

4:47 am

sprite

anytime, dear rose. Sleep well and dream even better. And tell Don no sex and lots of cuddles ;)

4:47 am

puglet

good night Rose and you are in my prayers--hugs

4:47 am

o-o

be well, rose

4:48 am

grannyrose

oh, and of course, lyn. just seeing you here was great, hun

4:48 am

o-o

Exodus 16:4 Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.

Exodus 16:15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.

4:48 am

grannyrose

* poof *

4:49 am

sprite

no mention of helmets though

4:49 am

o-o

"the people shall go out"

4:49 am

puglet

It was soft and fluffy bread, I bet

4:50 am

lynxxx

bet it was flat and hard in those days - def required helmets

4:51 am

sprite

ah of course, it goes without words that when they went out, they needed protection. Thanks o-o.

4:51 am

o-o

the people went out after the manna had rained down

4:52 am

sprite

hence not needing protection anymore. See, the Bible needs to be explained to me or I don't get it :)

4:52 am

puglet

I dont think God would send hard bread because in those days there were no dentistes and the old people whom didnt have teeth would not had been able to eat it

4:52 am

roybarin

Exodus 16:31 on what manna was like...flat cakes with honey

4:53 am

sprite

hi roybarin, interesting, didn't know that. Yes, that would be hard. Sweet though.

4:54 am

ivesy3

but if it had honey , then they would need helmets becuz it was sticky ...

4:55 am

sprite

hiya ivesy :) Imagine sticky hair in the desert...

4:55 am

puglet

Hi Roy and ivesy

4:55 am

o-o

Numbers 11:8 And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.
Like hoar frost.

4:55 am

ivesy3

and good morning from western ny..more snow warnings and wind chills below zero.....

4:55 am

puglet

you feeling better ivesy

4:55 am

lynxxx

hi Ivesy

4:56 am

sprite

brrrrrr ivesy

4:56 am

roybarin

looks like it must have been versatile. Exodus 16:23 says it could be boiled and could be baked.... nice to chat with you all.... am new here.

4:56 am

lynxxx

hi Roybarin - welcome

4:56 am

puglet

we are having snow too Ivesy but not the - temps yet

4:56 am

ivesy3

yes pug.ty.. back to work after mini vac.. thinking deeply about whether i want to work or not.. very big decision

4:56 am

sprite

welcome to babble land, roybarin. Enjoy the game, welcome to the chat and let us know if you have any questions. And yes, it is addictive. Not fattening though.

4:57 am

sprite

that is a biggie, ivesy.

4:57 am

lynxxx

maybe like manna - addictive but not fattening?

4:57 am

sprite

I'd say so, lyn :)

4:57 am

ivesy3

sigh, i know.. i love the job..just dont know if im up to it anymore.. and money helps.

4:58 am

sprite

any chance you can work less hours, ivesy? Have the best of both worlds?

4:58 am

puglet

yes it is ivesy---are you thinking along that line due to your health and also how was the book that your son got you

4:58 am

ivesy3

im soooo confused lol

4:59 am

o-o

service providers ask if there is anything more they can do for me ... I keep asking for a winning lottery ticket ... or at least green stamps

4:59 am

ivesy3

yes pug... it would be health wise decision..the book is great.. i think it will help..very good ideas...i had five days off and found i like being home.. i just dont know if i am ready to give the job up yet

5:03 am

sprite

sounds to me like it is the choice between wise and smart... the wise decision is to listen to your body and don't overtax it anymore. And smart is to keep earning money and being part of the work process. Very tough choice.

5:03 am

sprite

lol o-o

5:04 am

lynxxx

my comment got lost in the ether - but I think you should cut down on your hours or days - a good way to ease into retirement over a few years

5:05 am

sprite

lost in hiccup time, lyn.

5:05 am

ivesy3

def. sprite.. and lynxx that is exactly what i have been thinking about doing.. i enjoy the job so hate to give it up completley.. well ..c how i feel today.. unfort its a long day 10-7

8:04 am

crosshair

White Seal

Oh! hush thee, my baby, the night is behind us,
And black are the waters that sparkled so green.
The moon, o’er the combers, looks downward to find us
At rest in the hollows that rustle between.

Where billow meets billow, there soft be thy pillow;
Ah, weary, wee flipperling, curl at thy ease!
The storm shall not wake thee, nor shark overtake thee,
Asleep in the arms of the slow-swinging seas- Rudyard Kipling

8:04 am

Judi

Can't imagine a foot of snow in Maine gets much attention either.

8:11 am

Riverdance

not really TO but my driveway was an ice skating rink from the snow, then melt down, then bitter cold. Had to have it sanded only for it to snow on it today.

thanks, Molly! We did take him to the walk-in clinic and then to the ER but fortunately all he has is a concussion.

11:04 am

good morning sue

I think at one point I referred to the walk-in clinic as urgent care - perhaps that was the source of the confusion. Different places have different names for these things..

11:06 am

uusue2

he was in the bathroom looking for his keys - which he still hasn't found - and he thinks the other guy may have harassed him about it, at which point he slapped the guy, who then turned on him and punched him several times (including after he was already on the ground and barely conscious)

it's occasional, ruru, but more often than I would like; it was New Year's Eve, though, and he was out with a couple of his fraternity brothers

11:08 am

MollyL

Oh my, alpha males and too much liquor. I have heard bouncer stories that made my hair curl.

11:08 am

11:09 am

rururocks

I'd hate to be looking for keys in a bathroom..it sounds kind of weird

11:09 am

uusue2

he found them in the pantry at the frat once, so I suppose anything is possible

11:09 am

uusue2

and his jacket has a hole in it so they could be anywhere

11:10 am

rururocks

I know what he should get for his next birthday

11:10 am

MollyL

Clap on!

11:10 am

uusue2

haha, or maybe even sooner, as his birthday is at the end of November

11:11 am

uusue2

maybe they make key chains now with RFID chips so he could use his phone to find them?

11:11 am

rururocks

I've been around males that just are always on the edge of wanting to get into a fight.. its best to say.. be safe.. have a great night and go

11:12 am

uusue2

this is the first time he's been in a real fight (he's 24), at least if you don't count the time his crazy ex-girlfriend beat him up - he's actually a very nice kid

11:12 am

MollyL

They make remote key finders (like the clapper) Problem is, people lose the remote locator. : O

11:12 am

rururocks

how did he get home?

11:13 am

uusue2

the bar is walking distance from the frat so his frat brothers walked him home that night; he called me the next day to get him from there, and we took him straight to the walk-in clinic

11:15 am

rururocks

oh.. he's lucky it wasn't more serious

11:16 am

rururocks

if someone has a concusion they should never let them go to sleep

11:16 am

uusue2

yeah, it sounds like the guys with him were pretty clueless about what to do

11:17 am

uusue2

although someone did give him some ice for the bruises

11:17 am

rururocks

frat boys are generally a bunch of dumbsh..

11:18 am

uusue2

when he first joined I thought it might be a good thing, as it is a Jewish frat and they at least pay lip service to GPA and studying, but it seems to involve an awful lot of drinking

11:19 am

rururocks

I think that's just about any frat these days

11:20 am

uusue2

Apparently.

11:21 am

MollyL

When I was in college, rugby players and frat boys were the hardest drinking guys on campus.

11:21 am

rururocks

i am glad he's ok.. hope it was a learning lesson

11:22 am

uusue2

I hope so too, ruru

11:22 am

I think Rugby is more of an East Coast thing.. they do play it out here .. but I don't remember ever hearing about it in college

11:30 am

MollyL

Same with lacrosse, I would imagine

11:31 am

rururocks

another sport I know very little about

11:31 am

periwinkle

I don't know anything about rugby or lacrosse

11:31 am

It's weird how regional things are. Lacrosse is not big in the DC area, but huge in the Baltimore area.

11:32 am

MollyL

How are you feeling today Peri?

11:32 am

crossy tidbit of the day!!. The Mars One project has announced that it has weeded out 99.5% of the estimated 200,000 applicants for the one way trip to set up a mars colony in 2025.They figure one more year to weed down the remaining 1058 potential candidates into a group that will be trained ,with small breaks, for the next decade thus ending up with the final number they need for the one way mission. So keep looking for that call from N.A.S.A my babble friends;))

12:46 pm

12:55 pm

crosshair

Many artificial color additives are prohibited by law, so farmers add marigold petals to their chicken feed as a natural color enhancer to give their egg yolks that sunny, yellow hue.

12:56 pm

hego

I think Frank Perdue did that.

12:57 pm

hego

natural chickens look white.

12:58 pm

no,the chickens are the same..well except for all the growth hormones..

5:35 pm

Lizlin

Not at the moment o-o. North Stradbroke Island is the closest I know but it's contained on the island. We had some rain last night but the winds are strong and northerly, so we have to be aware of the danger. Thanks for asking.

5:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

the storm has terrible timing. stores are cleaned out after the holiday and stock reorders and crew not here.

5:36 pm

Lizlin

Lots of post uni kids come and do bar work here.

5:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

5:56 pm

penquis

5:56 pm

Lizlin

any thoughts on what I can give the hostess of a belated US Thanksgiving dinner?

5:56 pm

phandmd

Way to go, TO!

5:56 pm

Lizlin

Congrats TO

5:57 pm

phandmd

Wine?

5:57 pm

Lizlin

something typically American or thanksgiving-ish.

5:58 pm

Lizlin

Wine, chocs, flowers etc are what I'd usually take but wanted to be a bit more original.

5:59 pm

penquis

you could donate to a local food bank in the name of your hostess...

5:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

something personal for her if you know her well enough to know her taste; massage certificate, mani/pedi, to pamper herself after all that work

5:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

but i do like pen's idea as well

6:00 pm

Lizlin

Good ideas and I like them but I just wondered if there was something that could represent America or specifically thanksgiving.

6:01 pm

Lizlin

Why do words disappear from babble. I've just reentered about 4 that I'm sure I entered yesterday?!

6:01 pm

penquis

you could bring a branch that looks like a mini tree....cut out leaves to hang on it....everyone then can write what they are thankful for on a couple of leaves and hang the leaves on the tree....it's a center piece....then after dinner you read all the leaves of thanks...

6:02 pm

Lizlin

Cute idea - will give that some thought :)

6:02 pm

penquis

we did it at my niece's and everyone enjoyed it...reminded us of what we are thankful for...

6:03 pm

Lizlin

It's always good to be reminded of those things - or rather to remind oneself.

6:03 pm

penquis

yes...and it is an activity kids can take part in....

6:04 pm

Lizlin

Thankfully none of those around!!! These people are all mostly older than us and my hubby's kids are adults (phew!)

6:04 pm

Lizlin

Seriously though, love kids though. Taught them in London for 30 years.

6:04 pm

penquis

ah...

6:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

when is your thanksgiving? I was thiinking you already celebrated american holiday and wanted to thank your host

6:05 pm

Lizlin

No - she's doing it for an American friend, who wasn't well at the time.

6:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

very nice.

6:06 pm

Lizlin

We don't have thanksgiving in Australia or in England. Australia has Australia Day on Jan 26 - it'll be one year this year since I became an Aussie.

6:06 pm

I was reading that the next few days in chicago the high will be -5

6:39 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

at least it's a pretty light snow, so it comes off the car without too much screaming

6:40 pm

Do they issue snow shovels with automatic screamers? Sounds like a great feature, if available.
