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

Bet you are so excited to see progress. Remodeling is so chaotic and emotional.
1:22 am

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.

1:42 am

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.

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
puglet

okay, thank you
3:45 am
flosey

I have been receiving emails from her

Sprite! good morning and love and hugs

3:51 am
sprite

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.

It is so nice to come in here and see all you good friends

irregular shifts, 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

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
sprite

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
4:35 am

Most nutrition guides list magni=esium. Offhand, bananas and any foods that have potasium

4:45 am
sprite

oh woooooot rose! Such progress!
4:45 am
puglet

seen where you got such a warm welcome at your work Rose, you must miss your co-workers
4:45 am

i am hoping to reduce the SR oxycodone to only 10mgs on hydro days, and none for the rest.
4:45 am
puglet

so good Rose!
4:46 am

you will get there, and beyond, rose. Give it time.
4:46 am

Iam sure you do miss them but just dont rush things, you will get there
4:47 am

*leashes rose* Down girl, easy. Now take it slow, ya hear??
4:47 am
puglet

I know, co-workers can mean as much as family
4:47 am
grannyrose

pugs, love. i am so not rushing it, dear. 2 hours twice a week is not rushing it in my book.
4:48 am
sprite

very much depends on what you do and won't do in those hours, in MY book, rose
4:48 am
grannyrose

lolol, sprite...* choke, choke *
4:49 am
grannyrose

okay, okay, sprite, settling down to a dull roar here...happy now ??
4:49 am

4:50 am
grannyrose

sprite, pugs, i am only doing tea-relief. which means i take over patients who have already been settled in the recovery room. no major dashing about...
4:50 am
sprite

and no salsa dancing on wet floors, and no walking that extra mile for any reason whatsoever.
4:51 am

4:51 am
grannyrose

mind you, it was so lovely, to have the anaesthetist who gassed me greet me with...aunty rose!! how lovely to see you! are you getting well??
4:51 am
sprite

Did I sound stern there? Good. I meant to say: What. So. Ev. Er.

4:52 am

I love it that you enjoyed getting back there, rose. That is a good sign. And of course they are delighted to see you, tsk. Who wouldn't.
4:52 am
puglet

lol--poor Rose with so much care and love you cant go wrong
4:53 am
grannyrose

this doctor is of asian descent. in their culture it VERY polite to acknowledge someone who is older and more experienced as aunty or uncle.
4:53 am
puglet

but you still have about 3 weeks or more to go yet
4:53 am
sprite

lol true. She is complaining to Don that we don't let her breathe... and we yell over that: "Forget breathing. First walking. Then running. And only then can we talk about breathing!"
4:53 am
sprite

aw that is so sweet, rose!
4:54 am

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.

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.

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.

Wait, the story of Noah is science fiction?

more special effects than Bible.

molly its more visual
2:05 pm

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*

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♫

lol, yes

agreed, hego....went over the top in later years...

It was my fave show in the beginning.

I think any show that goes beyond five years has worn out it's potential for good story lines. *COUGH* Grey's Anatomy

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.

5:34 pm

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.

Our day will come, Molly, our day will come. We will discuss forgetful sons, lawn mowers, other Babblers(!), shoes, ships, sealing wax, cabbages & kings.

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

They've always got on well and haven't seen eachother for 3 years

I have never been at a wedding where co8 was thrown. Rice, yes, back when that was allowed.

yes, no more rice. just rose petals. like they don;t stain and are not slippery. I do not get it.
6:29 pm

Yw Soodle.What a shame, but i don't think it's quite like it was now
6:30 pm

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

Oh, like your carefully selected underwear was not just torn off and cast aside later.

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

Hi Pen
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

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.

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

7:09 pm

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
lilliann

Ru :)
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

That would be the common sense approach L. Alas, not many employers have it.

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.
8:28 pm
crosshair

shreds
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
8:31 pm
Lizlin

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
lilliann

Back to the grid
8:31 pm

OK thanks
8:31 pm

yup. If we were all the same, things would get boring

8:32 pm

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

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
Lizlin

HI Cos
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

4 more weeks and I can read just to read again:)
8:40 pm

L, seriously, you take "polite" to a whole new level.
8:42 pm

Fireworks! Finally
8:42 pm

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:)

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

the whitest of all white lies I think :P

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

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

.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.

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.

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

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

its a smoke shop :(. but the profits are prety nice.

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

I don't think your job is in jeopardy
10:41 pm

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Bugsaw

sorry stid. I can't help

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
