This "bug" hit pretty hard, and I even had a flu shot, so I was shocked.

the vax this year is for influenza B?? i think, and the flu going around is A?? or vice versa...
1:14 am

hey ya liz
1:14 am
Lizlin
How was hydro today?
1:14 am
VolleymomDee
that makes sense, then. How are you feeling, rose? Hi, Liz
1:14 am
Lizlin
Hi Dee. Hope you're feeling a bit better.
1:15 am
grannyrose
doing better than i hoped, thanx for asking. haven't needed endone, just the cold pack...so far...fingers crossed.
1:15 am
VolleymomDee
Fantastic!!
1:15 am
Lizlin
Fingers crossed for you.
1:15 am
Lizlin
That's really great.
1:15 am
VolleymomDee
Did you get your house projects completed?
1:16 am
grannyrose
if you call having 3 functioning toilets, done, then yes.
1:17 am
Lizlin
A good start - 3 toilets!
1:17 am
grannyrose
also have a grab rail over the bath...the bathroom is soooo close to being done
1:17 am
VolleymomDee
LOL... sounds like our last house when we moved in in the late 70's... we had to remember what we needed to do, so we knew which bath to use
1:18 am
Lizlin
That's really good progress.
1:18 am
Lizlin
oops! Sorry
1:18 am
grannyrose
LOLOL, dee, absolutely.
1:18 am
VolleymomDee
Great idea... was just thinking the other day that some grab rails would be nice - not sure yet if I have hubby convinced yet.
1:18 am
grannyrose
and.....
1:18 am
Lizlin
Has Don agreed to a builder for the kitchen yet?
1:18 am
grannyrose
don has bought the oil and applicator for the back deck and front steps. YAYAY
1:19 am
Lizlin
That'll look good. We did our decking and it changed its appearance so much.
1:19 am
grannyrose
oh, yes, liz. we just have to pull out the walls in the laundry, and he has even agreed to using the builders plumber for the new plumbing.
1:20 am
Lizlin
Fantastic - you really won't know yourselves, when it's all finished.
1:21 am
VolleymomDee
Bet you are so excited to see progress. Remodeling is so chaotic and emotional.
1:22 am
grannyrose
dee, after what we have been through, this is going to be a piece of cake...tiramasu, of course.

Rose, have you got a recipe for tiramisu?
1:37 am
grannyrose
probably, liz. but i don't have the facilities to bake it, otherwise i would do it. guess i will have to ask around the local bakeries.
1:38 am
Lizlin
Hang on - how about straight tiramisu rather than tiramisu cake. That doesn't need baking.
1:38 am
grannyrose
have yet to speak to my close friend of mine who is a chef.
1:39 am
grannyrose
oh, yeah, it's just layers of biscuits etc isn't it?
1:39 am
Lizlin
Or if you buy ready made plain sponge you could make the cake.
1:39 am
Lizlin
I just found a couple of recipes.
1:39 am

1:42 am
Lizlin
I guess it's not too hard to scale up. But otherwise we got my chocolate mud cake from The Cheesecake Factory - it really was very good and not too expensive.
1:43 am
Lizlin
Sounds lovely. I seem to remember Don's birthday is in April - what date?
1:43 am
grannyrose
we are having a juke box, several plates of 'finger' food, the cake, and a couple of plates of petit-fours. plus an open bar for drinks of any kind.

3:43 am

flosey, if you dont mind me asking, is Jillibus sick? I havent seen her for quite some time
3:45 am
flosey
I believe Jilli is just quite busy right now. I haven't talked to her in a couple of weeks but she is out playing bridge so expect that she is just keeping busy
3:45 am
flosey
and dear pugs, I do not mind at all, you asking
3:45 am

3:51 am

yeah, not too bad today :) How about you, my darling pug?
3:52 am
puglet
no fever but no relief from the other. I got my clinic paper yesterday and Iam personally taking it in this morning and going to try to get in as soon as possible
3:53 am
sprite
aw great. You definitely need help with this.
3:53 am
puglet
so it seems, nothing Iam doing is helping
3:53 am
sprite
how are you, flosey?
3:54 am
puglet
is you pelvis feeling better
3:54 am
flosey
improving slowly, Sprite, Thanks
3:54 am
flosey
had to have eye drops - got a bit of an infection in one eye - from the cold
3:55 am
sprite
holistically speaking, fever and inflammations are unvented anger, pug. Perhaps you need to beat up a few pillows or slam some doors, or (my favorite) throw handsful of icecubes into a bath tub.
3:55 am
sprite
how frustrating, flosey :( So tiring, an eye like that.
3:56 am
flosey
but, can't really complain Sprite, hubby is taking good care of me
3:56 am
sprite
yes it is, pugs :) Less pain today. Which is good, because my love is away camping out and canoeing this weekend, so I have to do the shopping and cooking.
3:56 am
sprite
yay for good hubbies, flosey :)
3:56 am
puglet
thats sweet of him flosey
3:57 am
puglet
did he go alone or did your son go too
3:57 am
sprite
just him and the dog, pugs.
3:57 am
flosey
I am up now (woke self up coughing) will slleep in my easy chair so that he can get a decent sleep
3:58 am
sprite
aw poor you :(
3:58 am
puglet
that will be good for him though--is he doing better with his stress? sorry I didnt ask you sooner
3:58 am
flosey
oh no, I can sleep well enough this way
3:58 am
sprite
darling, no need to apologise, you have more than enough to keep you busy. Yes, it will do him good.
3:58 am
puglet
now you have no foot warmer :{ lol
3:59 am
sprite
and he is doing better indeed!
3:59 am
sprite
lol true, and my feet are definitely feeling the cold!
3:59 am
flosey
sounds like a welcome break for your hubby, Sprite
4:00 am
sprite
he loves doing this. And he deserves some time off :)
4:00 am
puglet
I had to do the monthly town thing yesterday and as bad as I felt, do you think he would help with the heavy lifting? NO and on top of that I got drench too so I was not a happy camper so to speak--lol
4:01 am
puglet
does the dog like going that too
4:01 am
sprite
wth doesn't he help you do the lifting?
4:01 am
flosey
ah Pugs, hate to hear of you being treated so poorly - you deserve much better
4:02 am
sprite
oh pugs, Terra couldn't be happier. He loves every bit of it... the car drive there, the canoeing, the camping.
4:02 am
puglet
soon as I stop the car Sprite, he is off doing his thing and I dont see him until hes done--its always been like that
4:03 am
sprite
well change it for the next time! Tell him you need him to do the heavy lifting, so get that out of the way first and THEN he can be off to whatever.
4:03 am
puglet
dont matter where we go--even on outing with Carol and her hubby--he just takes off and never see him--makes me so mad
4:03 am
sprite
god, would that man hate being married to me... I'd give him hell for stuff like this.
4:03 am
flosey
I have a word that would fit that behaviour, pugs - I don't use it often but there are times it is quite fitting - YOU DESERVE MUCH BETTER
4:04 am
sprite
in that case, hun, refuse to take him next time.
4:04 am
sprite
amen, flosey :)
4:04 am
puglet
I may as well be single--lol
4:04 am
sprite
you'd be better off, imo
4:06 am
puglet
so what are you going to do Sprite since your man is gone for a few days
4:06 am
flosey
Pugs, are you able to do the shopping alone?
4:06 am
sprite
am gonna indulge in a lot of gaming
4:07 am
flosey
Enjoy, Sprite
4:07 am
puglet
yes Flosey, but once a month I have to take everyone to the bank and let them do their stuff
4:07 am
sprite
hehehe I will :) Kids are happiest when they can go their own way, so all I need to do is be home for them and make sure there is food.
4:08 am
puglet
what kind of gaming are you planning? Like a big women's poker game? LOL
4:09 am
flosey
ah, ok, Pugs - but, sounds like there are others, can't someone help you in with groceries, etc.?
4:09 am
sprite
roflollll nah, guild wars and runescape... and babble
4:09 am
flosey
brb - going to make a cup of tea
4:09 am
puglet
he does help with that here at home cause I refuse to do it
4:10 am
sprite
pug, I really think you need to readress those rules. If he wants a ride to town, he has to help you do the heavy lifting. If he doesn't want to help, he doesn't get the ride either.
4:11 am
puglet
yeah Iam going to have to do something---
4:12 am
sprite
*hugs pugs* Wish I lived closer, darling. SOOO would like a word with that man.
4:13 am
puglet
you mean to bury him--lol
4:13 am
flosey
be strong, my dear pugs
4:13 am
sprite
a nice, quiet, friendly word... over his grave ;)
4:14 am
puglet
tys flosey and I will, I dont have much of a choice but to
4:15 am
sprite
you can do it, darling. You are so much stronger than you know, and than he knows as well.

4:20 am

It is so nice to come in here and see all you good friends
4:20 am

irregular shifts, rbud?

okay Ruby--here it comes :) lol
4:21 am

?Pugs, what if he doesn't carry, you don't cook
4:21 am

nice to see you too Ruby
4:21 am

babble is a wonderful place
4:22 am
rbud
my old man hasn't carried anything for me in decades, don't feel alone, puglet - but he has his medical excuses
4:22 am
rubyfoo
Our weather is incredible! The Saharan sand has cleared and it is sunny and fairly warm, no jacket necessary for dog-walking
4:22 am
flosey
agree, Sprite - what else does one do in the middle of the night shen one should be sleeping
4:22 am
flosey
**When (not shen)
4:22 am
puglet
Ruby, since his last jail time I dont cook for him or anything else for him
4:22 am
sprite
indeed, flosey :)
4:23 am
rubyfoo
if husband doesn't carry stuff it stays where it is. I have enough back problems without lifting and he knows that.
4:23 am
rubyfoo
I'm glad, pugs, he deserves nothing from you
4:23 am
rbud
I am an expert at toting a dozen plastic grocery sacks at once. :P
4:23 am
flosey
good for you Pugs, stay strong
4:23 am
rubyfoo
he's very good about shepping stuff, I must sasy that
4:24 am
puglet
thats good Ruby
4:24 am
sprite
aw but your husband will gladly help, ruby, as long as he understands what is expected of him... and rbud, if he shouldn't lift, ok... but pug's husband is just too darn lazy to lift a hand.
4:24 am
sprite
good job, pugs!
4:24 am
sprite
lend a hand... lift a finger... whatever
4:25 am
rbud
these days I do get help from the kids, if they're around. and several of Hubby's buddies are quite helpful if they're around, yay!
4:25 am
rbud
I think they all think we're getting old, lol - guess they're right.
4:26 am
sprite
never abuse them of that notion, rbud :D
4:26 am
puglet
I know my body is just not what it use to be and it sucks
4:27 am
sprite
yeah well, such is aging. As Haz once said, aging is not for the timid.
4:27 am
flosey
there's a beauty to every stage of life, pugs
4:28 am
rubyfoo
old,moi, I'm almost 71! where did the time go? I want a do-over
4:28 am
sprite
amen to that, flosey. I don't mind aging myself.
4:28 am
rbud
We had quite the day today, he's been having a hard time breathing, and I finally insisted he go to the ER this afternoon. They put him on IV fluids, magnesium, etc., and gave him steroids and some brething treatments - turns out it was "bronchial spasms" - not congestive heart failure like I feared.
4:29 am

wow, scary day, rbud! So glad it wasn't his heart.
4:29 am
rbud
*breathing treatments - sent us home with a nebulizer, a first with one of those
4:29 am
puglet
I bet that did give you a scare Rbud
4:29 am
rubyfoo
nebulizers can bring a lot of relief
4:30 am
rbud
well, he has the muscular dystrophy, and we're not sure how that affects things, really. yes, I was getting really worried.
4:31 am
puglet
that must be hard on you and him as well--sorry about that Rbud
4:31 am
rbud
they actually said as he was low on magnesium, it would make his muscles feel weaker - sort of a relief to hear, there, too, we had thought it might be the MD, but no, yay! :)
4:32 am
puglet
I got a childhood friend that has that and shes now in a wheelchair but she is so uplifting to those around her
4:32 am
rbud
now I need to research foods high in magnesium and see how many I can get him to eat. He's not too picky, but of course the best one he doesn't care for, lol!
4:34 am
rbud
He likely should be in one, but he wobbles along with his cane, and has an electric wheelchair for going downtown and visiting around - plus he rides his riding mower all over. had chains on it this winter. :)
4:34 am
puglet
my sister went through that being low on mag. They do make pills for that rbud. Since she was a diabetic we had to go that route
4:35 am
flosey
going to try to sleep, bb much later

4:53 am

4:53 am
sprite

Today is 2 years since my Dad died. A tough day for us, especially my Mom.
9:22 am
hego
wow! 2 years already.
9:22 am
Scrabbler
Yes, it flew by.
9:22 am
hego
I remember it being very traumatic for you.
9:22 am
Scrabbler
He died in front of me.
9:23 am
Scrabbler
Unexpectedly.
9:23 am
Scrabbler
Your quote helped me mom--something about widowhood.
9:24 am
hego
Is your head better?
9:24 am
Scrabbler
Head is good. Residual tinnitus. Neck is less sore.
9:25 am
hego
Hope tinnitus improves.
9:25 am
Scrabbler
It only bothers me when my environment is quiet.
9:25 am
hego
Bill had a head injury and his never went away.
9:25 am
Scrabbler
Or when I think about it.
9:26 am
Scrabbler
It is a high-pitched whistle.
9:26 am
hego
yes, I have it too. Just mildly.
9:26 am
jaxx7
Does it disturb your sleep?
9:28 am
Scrabbler
Hi jaxx. No, except when I am falling asleep and very aware of it. [I have a greatnephew named Jaxson and we sometimes call him Jax or Jaxie.]
9:29 am
hego
Hard to extend words today.
9:29 am

Try a small radio under the pillow.

Jaxx--tune radio to static?
9:31 am

Yellowfin tu4.
9:31 am

Jaxx, your ma has a sense of humor.
9:32 am
hego
Bill uses an air purifier for white noise at nite.
9:32 am
hego
Dual purpose.
9:32 am
jaxx7
Not necessarily, any noise will do. It just masks the tinnitus. You can get a box that gives out white noise so I guess static will do as well as anything.
9:34 am
Scrabbler
I share a bedroom with a rabbit, so I wonder what he prefers. I will ask him....haha.
9:35 am
jaxx7
Not really. She had a thing for the letter J. We went to the same school so there was Jack, Jill and Jon all with the same surname. Imagine the confusion if you were ordered to go to the Head's office. All three of us would turn up and stand in a line. The Head would then select the one he wanted.
9:35 am
Scrabbler
Sometimes Bunny Tucker decides it is a good time to thump and warn my other bunnies in the house. Then I tell them all to knock it off.
9:35 am

Hego, sometimes they do!

Jaxx that's funny.
9:36 am
Scrabbler
Nice, Jaxx. Visiting the UK is on my bucket list.

I am the oldest of 3 sisters: Lynda, Lisa, Leslie--people have always mixed us up.

I live in Teignmouth on the Channel coast. It is a pretty little town but won't be so if the planners have their way. I come from Manchester originally but married a Teignmothian and stayed

I have been baby Helen my whole life.
9:39 am

9:39 am

Pretty silly at this age!
9:39 am

That's the same for my brother. he's over 60 now but we still refer to him as our baby brother. daft really
9:40 am
Scrabbler
Jaxx, there is a Babbler (not here much anymore) that lives in Taunton/Williton.
9:41 am
Scrabbler
I am looking at Teignmouth on a map, Jaxx.
9:42 am
jaxx7
All my father's family going back to the early 1800s, had samuel as the eldest son's name until my brother who has samuel as his second name. Not so long ago he decided that meant he wasn't dad's son but as mum is now dead he will never know
9:42 am
Scrabbler
I cannot find Devon.
9:42 am

Ooo, now I'm thinking of Baby Jane Hudson.

I've never sent a letter to Daddy.
9:43 am
Scrabbler
I found Devon now.
9:43 am
jaxx7
look at the peninsula, the bit that looks like the leg of the pig that the man is riding on. Right at the tip is Cornwall and Devon is the next county up. teignmouth is between Exeter and Plymouth
9:43 am
Scrabbler
Time to get going. Meeting a friend for a quick walk before the rain hits.
9:44 am
hego
I think your brother should'nt worry about that Jaxx. Mom just wanted all J's.
9:44 am
Scrabbler
Bye, kids!
9:45 am
jaxx7
I am sure that is the case but I do wish she had called me Jane, much easier to spell
9:45 am
jaxx7
bye, Scrabs
9:45 am

I was told it was an old lady riding the pig.

and now it is time for Crossy's tidbit of the day! The long lost art of binding books in human flesh was very popular in the 17th century, but seems to have been a passing fancy. it is known as Anthropodermic bibliopegy .

Never really read any Hemmingway before, so I researched the author. He lived hard and fast, drank like a fish, and beat the ever loving crapola out of his body before offing himself with a shotgun at the age of 61.
1:39 pm
crosshair
sorry, he was 62, he died in 1961

Hemmingway lived in Idaho, so grew up with him. He and Steinbeck are two of my favs...real and raw

must be the lack of ba5/16

for example, I can say eh if I want you to repeat yourself, but I can also say eh if I want you to confirm what I just said

I have this odd desire to see Noah. Maybe it's because I haven't seen a good biblical drama since the days of Charlton Heston.

2:03 pm
Jillyjill
<----agrees with hego...sci fi
2:04 pm
MollyL
Wait, the story of Noah is science fiction?
2:04 pm
hego
more special effects than Bible.
2:04 pm
MLFAN17
molly its more visual
2:05 pm
MollyL
I don't know, I think a massive flood that destroys the Earth is kind of "special effecty"
2:05 pm
Jillyjill
Noah is totally off the biblical grid....and Noah is a paranoid personality in movie...just saying, entertaining but I did NOT think it was worth paying to see...wait for PPV or Netflix
2:06 pm
MollyL
That's funny. I bet everyone thought Noah was a paranoid nut case when he was building his ark. *Thinks of Bill Cosby*
2:06 pm

heh heh....

I am currently watching every episode of house on Netflix. I missed the first three seasons when it was on television, so I am enjoying it

I don't either, but my son took me out to it.
2:08 pm
hego
the first years were the best Crossy
2:08 pm
MollyL
It is one of Cosby's best. That and the bit about the day he "lets his wife sleep in" and makes breakfast for the kids. ♪Dad is great, fixes chocolate cake♫
2:08 pm
penquis
agreed, hego....went over the top in later years...
2:09 pm
hego
It was my fave show in the beginning.
2:09 pm
MollyL
I think any show that goes beyond five years has worn out it's potential for good story lines. *COUGH* Grey's Anatomy
2:10 pm

Lol, re: Cosby's Noah sketch: For those who use Roger cable as their ISP provider. The machine you use to deposit your money onto your account at the rogers outlet have a finish "Ping" that sound just like when Cosby did it on stage. lol. was feeding the evil thing what seemed like a endless procession of 20 dollar bills the other day and once it ate all of my money it went "PING!" , so in a loud voice I said "NOAH!!". Everyone in the store over the age of 30 broke out in smiles and laughter.

when you take a dipper full and begin to pour it into your glass, it should make a steam like hiss as it hits the bottom of your glass or it is too weak;)

hollow feeling.
5:32 pm

All for now have a ncie evening all.
5:34 pm
Soodle
Actually, my overriding feeling this evening is outrage. At the end of last Summer, I asked Son of Soodle to drain the petrol/gas out of the lawn mower. He forgot. The machine wouldn't start last weekend, so I dropped it in for a service. €133.20 was the service charge!! I am horrified.
5:38 pm
MollyL
I don't get it. Wouldn't the gas just have evaporated out of the mower?
5:41 pm
MollyL
Never mind, Google just answered that question. We could have a long talk about sons who forget things over a bottle and two glasses.
5:41 pm
Soodle
Apparently not, Molly. It broke my heart to pay this shyster. Crikey! If I spent that much money on a pair of shoes, at least I'd have nice shoes.
5:43 pm
Soodle
Our day will come, Molly, our day will come. We will discuss forgetful sons, lawn mowers, other Babblers(!), shoes, ships, sealing wax, cabbages & kings.
5:45 pm
MollyL
This is why the man worth having around is the Mr Handyman/Fix It Guy who is on your payroll. I don't want another husband, they are tedious. But I would love to have a Mr. Handyman/Fix It Guy.

5:58 pm
72 Temple Owl
i dont drain my mower, although I know I should.
5:58 pm

Oh, and then REALLY do it.

Hi Jaxx, good thanks.i saw my brother today for over an hour and i have one of my nieces' here for the weekend. the last time i saw her was last November for about an hour and a half. My bairn and her are like twins...even though they are 2 years aparts, they finish eachother's sentences and say the same things at the same time
6:26 pm
lilliann
How's it with you Jaxx?
6:27 pm
Soodle
Thanks Lil. I don't ever recall seeing that word on Babble before. I remember on my wedding day, co8 was thrown around with gay abandon. Much of it got lodged between me & my dress. The dye in the crepe paper ran, introducing an interesting pattern....
6:28 pm
lilliann
They've always got on well and haven't seen eachother for 3 years
6:28 pm

I was supposed to go and see a friend of mine from teaching college fifty years ago. She cancelled asshe wasn't well which was a shame.
6:28 pm
72 Temple Owl
just wanted to say my friends ran ahead of the rain for the whole trip. they said the weather was much worse here than there.
6:28 pm
MollyL
I have never been at a wedding where co8 was thrown. Rice, yes, back when that was allowed.
6:28 pm
72 Temple Owl
oh soodle! did it ruin the dress?
6:29 pm
72 Temple Owl
yes, no more rice. just rose petals. like they don;t stain and are not slippery. I do not get it.
6:29 pm
lilliann
Yw Soodle.What a shame, but i don't think it's quite like it was now
6:30 pm
lilliann
Alot of Churches won't allow co8
6:30 pm
Soodle
Nope, but my carefully selected underwear was multicoloured!
6:30 pm
MollyL
Or bird seed. I would rather nothing be thrown than bird seed. And the blowing bubbles thing is just too froofy for me.
6:30 pm
jaxx7
It was used before churches got worried about tidying it up afterwards. Rice is bio degradable and birds will eat it.
6:30 pm
lilliann
Oh, Jaxx, that is such a shame, hopefully you'll catch up with her again soon
6:30 pm
MollyL
Oh, like your carefully selected underwear was not just torn off and cast aside later.
6:30 pm
72 Temple Owl
i think the objection to rice is slipping on it?
6:31 pm

You can still get Co7 but it is different, as it is now, biodegradable

lilliann
I'm really sorry jaxx about not seeing your friend.x
6:35 pm
jaxx7
At our stage in life you never know if you will see each other again. I have friends who have had cancer scares, MS and other nasty things. One was killed when a drunk put his car into reverse instead of first. His car shot out and collided with her car in the front seat where she was sitting. We had been friends since I was 7 and she was 9. I felt I had lost part of me.
6:37 pm
lilliann
Cutching (cwtching) up to Soodle in the stocks...well, atleast we'll keep warm Soodle :)
6:37 pm
MollyL
Oh wow, okay. *Pours a round of drinks for all*
6:37 pm
72 Temple Owl

"Cutching In The Stockade" sounds like a Harlequin Romance Novel.
6:38 pm
jaxx7
I do not like this grid
6:39 pm
lilliann
Sorry Jaxx, it's hard to lose a close friend, especially in difficult circumstances
6:39 pm
lilliann
Neither do i jaxx
6:39 pm
lilliann
Soodle, Molly can feed us alcohol through straws
6:39 pm
Soodle
(((Lil)))). As for regaling you lot with the story of Soodle, her multi-coloured underwear & her wedding night, well, tough luck. You're just going to have to buy the book.
6:40 pm
lilliann
Bye To, tc hin

6:41 pm
penquis
hello again....
6:41 pm
penquis
i don't even do facebook...
6:42 pm
lilliann
Because we like to tease you Molly..
6:42 pm
MollyL
Why Pen? You don't want all your friends, family and people you barely know to have access to every minute detail of your life?
6:43 pm
penquis
nope....more importantly i don't want to feel obligated to follow every minute of their lives... ;o)
6:44 pm
penquis
hi lilliann...
6:47 pm
Soodle
Tawdry life stories? Oh my. As I lay my head down to sleep tonight, I'll pray for a tawdry life event or two... Just for Molly. :-P
6:47 pm
gramma
Okay my fellow Babbleonians. it's Friday night and I need to move on with my life.....1 left wi 5/18? It cannot possibly be as difficult as I've made it out to be. It's HUGE..I can't move on. Put me out of my misery. What the he** is it? Aaaack
6:47 pm
MollyL
L, trust me when I tell you that no tawdry autobiography would make me gasp or breathlessly turn the pages. My own story is tawdry enough, I don't need to read another.
6:47 pm
penquis

6:50 pm
penquis

6:50 pm
MollyL
Well thank God for Gramma's finish. After that dramatic post I was concerned about her welfare.
6:50 pm
gramma
Before I leave you all, need a clue?
6:50 pm
jaxx7
Thanks, Pen. and on that note, with 54 left I am abandoning this grid and hoping for better tomorrow. I have a Diana Gabaldon novel to read and my time would be better spent reading that. I will see you tomorrow, folks. Look after yourselves
6:51 pm

Soodle

6:53 pm
jaxx7
Now I am going for real

6:56 pm
MollyL

6:57 pm
Soodle
Absolutely no idea how that happened.I can't even blame the cat.
6:57 pm
lilliann
It was me soodle's next to you in the stocks!! :)
6:59 pm
Soodle

7:00 pm
lilliann
Can i have a clur for un5/16 please before where we all drink
7:00 pm
lilliann
Night Soodle, sweet dreams and tc hin
7:01 pm
MollyL

7:03 pm
lilliann

7:03 pm
lilliann
Ty Molly, i did say that i had the drink one:))
7:03 pm
MollyL
Ah oui, Jacques Clouseau
7:04 pm
lilliann
That's it Molly :)
7:04 pm
lilliann
Merci beaucoup
7:05 pm
MollyL
Yes you did L and I did not read your clue correctly. Blame that on the head cold that has invaded my life.
7:06 pm
lilliann
Sending head cold tablets and freshly squeezed fruit juice and a hug to Molly
7:07 pm
lilliann
Head colds are alot worse than other colds, because atleast with them you can snuggle up in bed
7:07 pm
MollyL
Your clue? Your post. Ack. Thanks L. I don't do cold tablets but I do have a juicer and love fresh juice.
7:08 pm
penquis
i am finally winding down from my week long cold....thank goodness!
7:08 pm
phandmd
oh, just realized I finally made it half way.
7:09 pm
MollyL
I'm so tired of people who come to work sick, hacking and sneezing and spreading their crap to the rest of us.
7:09 pm
lilliann
I don't do tablets either Molly
7:09 pm
rururocks
that doesn't sound sanitary
7:09 pm
penquis
i stayed home.. ;o)
7:09 pm
lilliann
Glad tyo hear that you are getting better Pen:)
7:10 pm
rururocks
can't they use a restroom like everyone else?
7:10 pm
lilliann
Yay Phan :)
7:10 pm
MollyL
I'm more tired of employers who have no tolerance for people who need to take a sick day.
7:11 pm
lilliann
That's just stupid Molly as why have sick days if people can't use them, and genuine sick people
7:11 pm
penquis
thank you, lilliann....lingering cough but nose is much better...
7:12 pm
MollyL
L, in my line of work, people who call in sick are referred to as (apologized to all the fragile people) pussies. You are supposed to suck it up and come to work no matter how sick you are. Which is insane.
7:13 pm
lilliann
I suppose that is the problem...as alot of people who do get sick still go to work but then you have people throw sickies because they have a football match to watch or baseball game
7:13 pm
MollyL
*Apologies
7:13 pm
rururocks
Oh my goodness
7:13 pm
rururocks
*runs from the chat*
7:14 pm
lilliann
Well, if you get paid and don't get sacked for being sick, then they should take sick days, and sod being calling a pussie
7:15 pm
MollyL
Sorry Ru, you can put something bitter about me in your profile tomorrow. : P
7:15 pm
rururocks
I had better not comment on pussies at work.. or I'm in big trouble
7:15 pm
lilliann
Health is more important and if a person isn't 100% well then the job won't be done properly...so better that a person takes the time off
7:17 pm
lilliann
Ru...i have a hairy pussy.....and a toirtoishell!! :D
7:17 pm
MollyL
That would be the common sense approach L. Alas, not many employers have it.
7:17 pm
rururocks

Hardly, i was saying it for you, as i knew what you'd say...i winding you up man!!:D...you're too predictable :)
7:20 pm
rururocks
well.. that's one way to wind me up I guess
7:21 pm
lilliann
But i do have a pussy that needs trimming!!
7:21 pm
rururocks
oh jeez
7:21 pm
rururocks
* I need to put spanks on now :D*
7:22 pm
lilliann
I meant my cat
7:22 pm
MollyL
Oh this is too funny, and they are probably still bitching about me on Facebook. Ahahahaha!
7:23 pm
rururocks
do they still do that Molly? Don't they have something better to do?
7:23 pm
lilliann
I was joking Pbr...and talking about my cat, as she does need a trim
7:23 pm
lilliann
So apologies sent
7:23 pm
MollyL
I have no clue Ru. And I really don't care much.
7:24 pm
rururocks
wonders who would dare trim a cat
7:24 pm
rururocks
and still have fingers left
7:24 pm
lilliann
I don't want to offend anyone.
7:25 pm
lilliann
That's Molly's job!! :)
7:25 pm
rururocks
I don't know either molly as I avoid FB like a plague
7:25 pm
phandmd

7:25 pm
pbr

7:25 pm
MollyL
Right, because L is all "hi hin, how are you doing, love you, kisses and hugs" : P
7:25 pm
pam
Hi, all. And for what it isn't worth, the last time I saw Molly's name in the FB community, someone was trying to get a message to her, and they were told Molly's not on FB. And that was a few months ago. Not that you care. :)
7:26 pm
rururocks

7:27 pm
lilliann
Hi Liz:)
7:27 pm
pbr
Been around, but not as much as I would like. Turns out tonight I have internet and a computer. I have tried using my ipad, but to no avail.
7:28 pm
pam
I was only added to that group about 6 months ago, and again, I haven't seen anything since that last time, two months ago. Maybe I am blocked.
7:28 pm
pam

lilliann
That's a shame Pbr
7:28 pm
rururocks

7:29 pm

I usually don't post much..but obviously conversation caught my attention tonight.
7:29 pm
pam
LOL! Same here, pbr. And yes, ruru, that's true. :)
7:29 pm
pam
Almost 10 years a player. :)
7:29 pm

I'm sure tonight's conversation will be on the Babble email hotline, if it's not already.
7:29 pm
rururocks

7:30 pm
rururocks

7:30 pm

7:36 pm
rururocks

7:36 pm
MollyL
Oh for God's sake, church? There aren't enough earthquakes in California?

7:38 pm
lilliann
Have you never heard that Liz? i'm not sure, it could be southern
7:39 pm
Lizlin
No, not heard it before. Smiles innocently :)
7:39 pm
lilliann
Have you never heard the expression...'you're an old trout'!!
7:40 pm
lilliann
It might not mean slut, it could mean you're an old bag
7:41 pm
rururocks
slut is really an offensive word isn't it?
7:42 pm
lilliann
It's only offensive Molly if someone knows what you're talking bout
7:42 pm
Lizlin
Vaguely stirring something in my memory but not an expression i know well.
7:42 pm
lilliann
It's only offensive Molly if someone knows what you're talking bout
7:42 pm
Lizlin
I wouldn't call anyone a slut
7:42 pm
rururocks
I can think of one liz
7:42 pm
lilliann
I wouldn't either, which is why you say a trout...not so offensive
7:43 pm

Also, I think "normal babble word" is an oxymoron. Agreeing with Liz.
8:15 pm
Enomis65
Thanks lbdawger, good to be back!
8:16 pm
Lizlin
Perhaps words are only normal if they are in your own vocabulary.
8:16 pm
lilliann
Molly, it's better than having something up your butt!
8:18 pm
lilliann
I'm shutting up now and diving in, before i dig a bigger hole!!
8:18 pm
MollyL
L, you can go back to your sweetie pie stuff. You have topped my "most offensive person at Babble" thing umpty million times tonight. YOU OWN IT.
8:19 pm
Enomis65

8:19 pm
lilliann
This is my other 'twin'...:(
8:19 pm
lilliann
Have i really been that offensive?
8:20 pm
Lizlin
I don't find you offensive.
8:20 pm
crosshair
howdy again everyone:)
8:20 pm
Lizlin
But perhaps I'm not easily offended.
8:20 pm
lilliann
Hi Crossy:)
8:20 pm
crosshair
howdy, lilliann:))
8:20 pm
Lizlin
Hi Crossy - I'm sure like so many others, I thought of you when I found ba 5!!!

MollyL
L, you are never offensive. Neither am I. It's all about the people who choose to take offense. You remain one of my favorite people here. Don't ever change.
8:25 pm
Lizlin
I agree totally Molly - wow, we're agreeing a lot. Kind of scary!!!
8:25 pm

Just finished reading The Old Man and the Sea for our next report. Was a fast, and enjoyable read;)
8:27 pm
Lizlin
I loved that book, when I read it - long time ago!
8:28 pm
crosshair
now I get the joy of tearing it down into quivering shreads and putting it under a microscope, then writing about it:)
8:28 pm
MollyL
I think it's that dolphin that gets talked about so much Lil.
8:29 pm
Lizlin
I think that's one of the things that eventually I got really fed up of doing, Crossy. I now read purely for pleasure - don't want to analyse too much, if at all. Superficial perhaps, but just the way it is now.
8:29 pm
lilliann
in and 2 vowels Lil
8:29 pm
crosshair
agreed liz, for my personal reading pleasure I hate tearing a book down like this, but for school they seem to love it:(
8:30 pm
Lizlin
I studied German at uni - and we always had to analyse down to the nth degree. Turned me off in the end - but never off reading!
8:30 pm
lilliann
Thanks Molly, but i apologise to people if they think i've been too crude

Lilli - we are what and who we are - people should accept us as such!
8:31 pm
Lizlin
I also never mean to offend though.
8:31 pm

Back to the grid
8:31 pm
lil*monkey
OK thanks
8:31 pm
crosshair
yup. If we were all the same, things would get boring
8:32 pm

Ta5, 1st one?

MollyL
It's unfortunate that there are so many Literature classes that make people feel that way. There are really good professors that can teach a class like that and make people enjoy how writers come to their craft.
8:32 pm
Lizlin
Add a consonant to the ta 4
8:34 pm
crosshair
not that I hate the tear down books. It just gets the joy of it pales after a bit. It will be a grand total of 16 weeks of this non-stop before it is all over
8:34 pm
Lizlin
Don't get me wrong, Molly. I enjoyed the literature I studied but after 4 years, just wanted to read for pure pleasure and still do.
8:35 pm
cosdem
hello hello
8:35 pm
crosshair
good lord. She would crucify me for that sentence I just posted. lol
8:35 pm
MollyL
It's probably writers that get into that kind of thing more than avid readers. I always found it fascinating.
8:36 pm
lilliann
come out of lurkdom to say to hi to Cos
8:36 pm
MollyL
Hello Cos, hi hello and hi.
8:36 pm
crosshair
Thoug I will say one thing. Once you have waded neck deep into the minutae of the craft of writing, you gain a new respect for published authors.
8:37 pm
Lizlin
But for example, who are we to say that hanging up washing represents claustrophobia - how do we know that's what kafka was saying?
8:37 pm
MollyL
God forbid L should lurk while there is someone who needs saying hi to.
8:38 pm
crosshair
lord save me from a overload of symbolism
8:38 pm
lilliann
I can't help it, i ws brought up to be polite...saying that after tonight and things i've said...
8:38 pm
MollyL
We don't Liz, but that is what makes discussion of a writer and his work interesting. For me anyway.
8:38 pm
Lizlin
4 more words to go - then i really must go back and read this chat!!!
8:39 pm
Lizlin
It did me for a while but eventually I had too much of it, I think.
8:39 pm
cosdem
How can anyone not say hello? What a wonderful word!
8:39 pm
crosshair
4 more weeks and I can read just to read again:)
8:40 pm
MollyL
L, seriously, you take "polite" to a whole new level.
8:42 pm
Lizlin
Fireworks! Finally
8:42 pm
crosshair
on the bright side, I have discovered that I have a knack for editing. I get at least 5 kids (18-25's) a day bringing me their papers before hand in time for some peer editing.:) . My red marker gets a workout:)
8:42 pm

congrats!
8:42 pm

lilliann
Yay!WTG Lbd!
8:44 pm
MollyL
L, I don't think anyone is going to go cry in the corner because you forgot to say hi. You can feel free to work on the grid as you will.
8:44 pm
Lizlin
Have a good night / evening all and thanks for the clues.
8:45 pm
lilliann
Night Liz and tc
8:47 pm
lilliann
I know Molly, but if i've spoken on the chat, and recently when someone speaks i feel i should reply...it's not nice when someone talks or asks for a clue and no-one answers
8:47 pm
cosdem
See sometimes I see someone asking for a clue and no one is responding and I still dont give one because I wish to remain lurking. I see nothing wrong with it :)
8:48 pm
cosdem
anyway sorry to have butted in :)
8:48 pm
lilliann
I must admit, i'm like that too at times Cos.
8:49 pm
MollyL
People are not always 100% attentive to chat. At least I hope so. It's not offensive if someone does not get responded to in a split second.
8:49 pm
lilliann
When i'm lurking, but if i've been speaking i feel like i should say something, whether it's to say a clue if a have it or not
8:49 pm
crosshair
in the rush of the chat, things are often missed and only caught after many repeats. I am not bothered if no one responds instantly to a clue request
8:49 pm
lilliann
Cos, you're not butting in:)
8:50 pm
cosdem
If i get desperate and need a clue bad Ill just pretend I just got here.
8:50 pm
MollyL
Butted in? Feeling delicate tonight? : P
8:50 pm
cosdem
the whitest of all white lies I think :P
8:50 pm
cosdem
yeah im still in work mode
8:51 pm
lilliann
It's just me then, it's just who i am...
8:51 pm
crosshair
we are all who we are and unique, as it should be
8:52 pm
cosdem
and thats ok lilli!
8:52 pm
lilliann
I can be the nicest person going and if you cross my family or me, then i'm the mama bear!! :)
8:53 pm
cosdem
sounds like me at work.. fun and easy going til you break a rule ;)
8:54 pm
lilliann
Now i sound threatening...sorry
8:54 pm
lilliann
Just as it should be Cos :)
8:55 pm
MollyL
It's just a chat, really, just a chat. You don't have to check in and out like everyone is dependent on your every move. You don't have to feel guilty if you don't greet someone. We all have reasons why we don't promptly respond.
8:56 pm
MollyL
And sometimes, golly gee, we need to go attend to real life things.
8:56 pm
lilliann
I know Molly...i will try:)
8:56 pm
cosdem
May I have permission to go to the bathroom Molly?
8:57 pm
MollyL
Hell no. Hold your water. : P
8:57 pm
lilliann
It's just that i was always brought up to answer people's questions and be polite
8:58 pm
lilliann
Even now, in my forties, it has stuck...
8:58 pm
cosdem
So was I. I guess its more complicated now that theres an online world too
8:58 pm
cosdem
does rules apply to both or just one?
8:59 pm
MollyL
That is fine in a real life situation L. It doesn't play on internet time.
9:00 pm
crosshair
well, the difference in here is that there may be 20,30 or more active players all talking, gaming or whatever all at once. sometimes instantaneous repsonses cannot happen in the same way as if you were having a one on one chat with someone
9:01 pm
crosshair
for all I know cosdem may have asked me how to make my famous bacon vodka 5 lines ago and I missed it:)
9:01 pm
MollyL
Exactly, people are not "here" 100% of their time. They are at work, dealing with family things, taking a break, etc.
9:02 pm
cosdem
no. I asked 14 lines ago. :P
9:02 pm
lilliann
I know Molly, but that's who i am, and whether i'm online or not, i can't help it...and do yopu know,people always tell me how polite the bairn is, and if she's polite on line then good for her..
9:02 pm
crosshair
crossy hangs his head in shame..;))
9:02 pm
MollyL
Oh my, now Cos is going to go cry in the corner.
9:03 pm
lilliann
Cos, both or just one?
9:05 pm
MollyL
Oh well, my point is lost. It's not about being polite. Being polite is great in face to face communication. But (hopefully) people are not glued to their computer and hanging on every word in a chat log.
9:06 pm
zoozzoom
Ba 5/16 vodka??..really??
9:07 pm
cosdem
Molly that was what I was trying to say :)
9:07 pm
lilliann
If she ever plays on here on her own and she has her own account, i hope she is polite to people...ok...well then when she's on here next time, i'll tell her be offensive to people then, shall i...that's really going to go down well here...she'll be called a troll!!
9:08 pm
crosshair
.It is chat room. there has to be some give and take, some ebb and flow and less rigidity. No one will live or die based on what we post here today:). Politeness and common courtesy of course never hurts.
9:08 pm
MollyL
I know Cos, I was trying to reiterate your point. Both of them seem to be flying out the lead balloon window.
9:09 pm

Hello, Lilliann :-)

9:12 pm

Up late, Lillian, Getting ready to retire for the rest of the night :-)
9:12 pm

it is more of an essence, a subtle hint in the background of flavor. it is not overpowering

9:16 pm
crosshair
though notice, I did not add it. After all these weeks of Microsoft office hammering the alt spellings at me , I am not surprised. The school computers reset to default settings every night, so I never bother changing it from U.S setting anymore.
9:17 pm
penquis
he + oxygen + vowel...
9:17 pm
crosshair
Just swap them around at will.:)
9:17 pm
penquis

WE never spell it "tyre" unless I am doing something fancy
9:20 pm
cosdem
ah never midn then
9:20 pm
crosshair
though it is common in the U.K of course
9:20 pm
zoozzoom
Must admit we do spell it tyres here.
9:20 pm

we do not call a car hood a bonnet or a car trunk a boot either:)
9:20 pm

any other clues for 7s out there?
9:22 pm

Lots of Brit/Canadian crossover in how to spell and say things. Go to hospital, instead of go to the hospital, go on holiday, instead of go on vacation. go to cottage, instead of...oh I don't even know what that would mean here.

hey stid and others! I am just arriving and read that people are not enjoying this grid.
10:25 pm

hey bugs it isn't easy...
10:25 pm
Bugsaw
altho if you keep giving hints like that cosdem, I will be happy
10:26 pm
stidmama
bugs, so happy for your boy's new employment -- has he started already? Grant had a "job" this week helping at a local church while their regular custodian took a break. He enjoyed earning money. :-) hoping he'll make it a habit!!!!
10:28 pm
Bugsaw
Yes he is working in a family run welding shop just north of Edmonton. I am glad it is a small organization because he is just starting out and he will probably get jobs with more variety than he would at a huge place.
10:28 pm
stidmama
so it's even better than I had imagined -- except for the being so far from home bit.
10:28 pm
stidmama
"family run" has a nice ring to it, though...
10:29 pm
Bugsaw
I think he will do well there and welding is a good fit for him. He likes things to be done well and welds have to be done well or things leak.
10:29 pm
cosdem
lovely my mom found a new app that makes funny pictures out of her pictures and she wont stop sending me pics
10:30 pm
stidmama
rofl... don't worry, she'll grow out of it
10:30 pm
stidmama
and you had some good news on the job front too, I think cos?
10:31 pm
Bugsaw
I think it is great how your mum tortures you cos. It means you are on her mind a lot and you are loved.
10:31 pm
Bugsaw
what good news cos?
10:31 pm
cosdem
yes stid!
10:32 pm
cosdem
i agree bugs :) and the good news was i had my first job performance eval. last night. was told i was a successful hire, 5% pay raise, will be back enxt school year - and will become certified state employee on august 3rd
10:32 pm
cosdem
a cushy state job, full benefits, retirement, pension etc.
10:32 pm
stidmama
:-D *proud mama-by-association look for cos*
10:33 pm
cosdem
was unemployed for 5+ years so I was getting scared for my future.
10:33 pm
Bugsaw
WELL DONE COS! I thought you would be perfect for a job playing with kids and being a friendly uncle typy guy!
10:34 pm
cosdem
sadly this means we have to live in this town for a long time. so conservative here lol but hey.. the jobs good and the scenery is gorgeous.
10:35 pm
cosdem
but thats ok. we are in the process of buying a store too ... not too many people know yet
10:35 pm
stidmama
I put my job in jeopardy today... I called in sick because of a stupid migraine. Not the best timing, the last day before break. Missed a meeting yesterday because I didn't feel "great" already. *sigh* BUT I looked up my social security logs tonight and I FINALLY have enough credits to retire (being out of work while childrearing put me almost two decades behind...)
10:35 pm
Bugsaw
If you stay long enough anyplace becomes home. It is filled with friends
10:35 pm
stidmama
wait wait. STORE????? will you sell books and useful things, or dumb things like food and clothes?
10:36 pm
stidmama
my brothers' store sells dumb things like food... *sigh* so inelegant no tiaras for me!
10:36 pm
cosdem
lol well no... well we will sell candy bars and stuff but... ryan is currently working as a manager for someone who has to sell his store due to him owning a 7-11 which violates 7-11 policy.
10:37 pm
cosdem
so hes selling it to us really cheap. we had an accountant and a lawyer look it over, plus ryans mom who is an exec accountant at wells fargo.. all looks good.
10:37 pm
stidmama
oh -- that is strange, but I suppose it's nice for ryan!
10:37 pm
cosdem
our loan was just approved. and we are now on thebusiness license.
10:37 pm
Bugsaw
stid you can't be thinking about retirement already and anyone who has had migraines know you can't go into a flourescent lit classroom with noise in it.
10:37 pm
stidmama
and for you, too -- but owning a store is HARD WORK. *worried mama look* don't overdo things!
10:37 pm
cosdem
its a smoke shop :(. but the profits are prety nice.
10:38 pm
cosdem
and right by a military base. excellent location.
10:38 pm
cosdem
I was sooooooo opposed to the idea but looking over the papers... it does look good besides ill just be a silent owner. no pun intended.
10:38 pm
stidmama
I couldn't even stand upright today, Bugs -- it was a really really bad one. Woke me up just before midnight (this was after I had already taken the prescription meds for it!) so I wrote up lesson plans and sent them to our wonderful secretary, phoned in to the sub service, and turned off my alarms...
10:39 pm
stidmama
roflmao -- cos! you're so silly. :-P
10:39 pm
Bugsaw
wishing you well on the store. If Ryan handles the store front and you work at your job, you will have everything covered.
10:39 pm
cosdem
aww what will the kiddos do without you stid?
10:39 pm
cosdem
thats the plan bugs.. and i can work at the store over summers.
10:40 pm
stidmama
it was my first time calling in sick -- I have taught with a kleenex box in one hand and a whiteboard marker in the other; wearing sunglasses because of migraine; with laryngitis... so I know they know it wasn't my first choice to stay away. :-( but I still felt sad to miss waving good-bye to the kiddos as they headed out on break
10:41 pm
Bugsaw
I don't think your job is in jeopardy
10:41 pm
cosdem
If we show up at work with even the sniffles we are sent home. i dont think your job is going anywhere.
10:42 pm
Marc Freeman
could I get a clue for ta5/16, please?
10:42 pm
stidmama
you'll enjoy it, cos -- although it will be challenging I think. I know that when I was working in Walla Walla at a Sears store we had a number of migrant customers. It was difficult to communicate sometimes because my Spanish was academic rather than functional.
10:42 pm
stidmama
But I could count back change, and that always made them smile. :-D
10:43 pm
cosdem
well ASL is my native language sooo....
10:43 pm
cosdem
im a master in both ASL and english. which is a rarity.. not to toot my own hron

10:45 pm

lol hamburgerrs or hotdogs.. either works
10:45 pm

oooh. great clues, guys!

Such a cutesy-pie sounding word is actually a nerve gas ..
10:48 pm

tor, how's that new guitar coming? I showed Grant the pics, and he was envious. One of the things he wants to do is make a guitar once we move home.
10:50 pm
Bugsaw
ty for the clues
10:50 pm
stidmama
gah. my brain is shot. how about that N in the fourth row down? my last blank. and then I think I should lie down for a while again
10:51 pm

It's coming along. I'm just about done with the grain filling on the body. Learning as I go .. I've got some color on the neck. Should have more pics in a few days.

sorry stid. I can't help
10:52 pm
torgone
na5/5 + hair remover + vowel
10:52 pm
stidmama
I'll keep my eyes peeled, tor -- I hadn't even considered needing to fill the grain, but it makes sense. I will have to strip and refinish what's left of my great-grandmother's hutch when we get it back, I have already decided to just seal and paint, but I know there will be things I need to fill where it burned.
10:52 pm
torgone
na5/10 actually ..
10:53 pm

ah. that's the currency word? *goes to look it up* thanks tor
