1:07 am
dizgrannie
grrrr red boxes again
1:08 am
worzel
yea I know. I was only thinking that if the weather was a predominant factor in the problems then surely it would be better to move the server somewhere where the weather is a little less temperamental

1:50 am
worzel
very well. I haven't managed to kill any yet, although my tomato plants are extremely lame. I grew them from seed and now they have stopped growing, so I'm going to cheat and buy a couple of bigger already grown-on plants
1:50 am

May I please have a clue for sa7-44? Thannks
1:51 am

peach, sa7/8 are the extras on lickety's list

1:52 am
gapeach
Oh, thanks much, Rose.
1:52 am
Foffle
tomatoes need loads of water. I looked after a tomato plant for neighbours one summer - seemed continually thirsty
1:53 am
worzel
i water them every day - once they're big enough twice a day, but they are only about 8 inches tall and have been for about a month now so I don't think any more will develop from them sadly. But although I'm going to buy bigger plants I won't dispose of the lesser ones - even if they don't amount to anything I can't stand the thought of killing them!!!!
1:54 am
grannyrose
i don't underst5 it, dee. both words are on lickety, and both words are in enable, but the grid disallows them. very weird.
1:54 am
Foffle
they might be late developers?

3:43 am

hello my darling rose :) Glad to see you. No, seem to have a tad of the flu or a bad cold. And dreaming rather horribly.
3:44 am
sprite
how are you today?
3:44 am
grannyrose
yuck!! you poor darling.
3:44 am
grannyrose
haven't pulled up to badly, dear. had hydro this AM, and doing okay, really.
3:45 am
sprite
oh and no sorry needed, lol. Real life comes first.
3:45 am
sprite
sounds pretty good, rose. As long as you can recuperate from what you do in a limited amount of time, things are definitely improving.
3:46 am
grannyrose
are you able to rest today?
3:47 am
sprite
I think so, yes, rose. Nothing much planned and my love has a day off from work. A bit of laundry, I think, and maybe a bit of cleaning.
3:48 am
grannyrose
just whisk the cloth around, that'll be quite enough, i am sure. what has he planned for the day?
3:48 am
sprite
more carpentry I think. He is making a.... rack (?) for Caya to hang up her guitars.
3:50 am
grannyrose
ahhh, interesting. i hope caya is appreciative. just pace yourself, dear * said the pot to the kettle*
3:51 am
sprite
I didn't get dressed yet, am sitting in my morning coat. If I feel up to it, am gonna take a shower after babble.
3:52 am
grannyrose
a shower might help the breathing, moist air, steam....
3:53 am
sprite
yes. And somehow it makes me feel cleaner ;)
3:53 am
grannyrose
oh that's just a side-effect. gotta watch those side-effects.
3:54 am
grannyrose
okay, parcel....company said it would resend on your tuesday.
3:54 am
sprite
I hope it will all go well this time, rose.
3:56 am
grannyrose
if it doesn't we find another supplier, and give this one the thumbs down. we checked, we definitely got tha addy exactly as you wrote it. and i should think you know where you live....unless you were having a bad hair day...in that case....IT'S NOT MY FAULT!!!
3:57 am
sprite
roflollllll want me to resend you the addy?
3:58 am
grannyrose
no thanx. have your original email still.
3:59 am
grannyrose
are you liking this grid? i was surprised at how quickly i found words. guess i must be becoming an 'old' hand at it.
4:02 am
sprite
lol yes, some grids are like that. So far so good, I even found a couple of 8s. And past the halfway point too.
4:02 am
grannyrose
good, i just noticed i made you laugh or at least smile twice. * sigh * my job is done.
4:03 am

4:06 am
grannyrose
roflol, don just suggested we have broccoli +++ for dinner. he read the look on my face, and said, okay broccoli in my right ear, broccoli in my left ear, and i don't want to think about where you are going to put the rest of it.
4:07 am
sprite
roflololllllllll
4:07 am
grannyrose
humph!!! i have now ordered, chips, corn on the cob, carrots and.....SOME broccoli
4:08 am

4:09 am
grannyrose
oh, sprite, you are so gonna love my man, as i am gonna love yours. we are so alike, i am thinking the man in our life is probably very similar, too.
4:10 am
sprite
it definitely sounds like it, rose. A sense of humour always at the ready, a warm heart and basically an outdoor guy.
4:23 am
sprite
was that a squirrel, was the dinner ready right away, did you go for meds, or did you fall asleep on the keyboard?
4:24 am
rubyfoo
hello and bye, the Sicilian is bringing us some minestrone for lunch. We are giving him the huge barbeque which we no longer use. Fair trade, I think....lol

Hi Crossy. Somehow I am slowing down and I am not quite halfway. Do you have a class today?
5:55 am
crosshair
yes, I do, Scrabby. YThis is the last week of English with a big exam this Friday.
5:56 am

{{crossy}] {{scrabs}}

Will you take more classes before the fall semester?
5:56 am
crosshair
I have one more after this one. It is a law class
5:57 am
crosshair

5:57 am
Scrabbler
Interesting.
5:57 am
crosshair
I will actually miss English lit. had almost 19 weeks of it in a row
5:58 am
Scrabbler
What were your favorite books?
5:58 am
rubyfoo
I admire your ambition, crossy, I can't imagine starting more school
5:59 am
crosshair
out of the required reading? They would be The Old Man and the sea and Of Mice and Men

It is finally sunny and the crazy wind has died down.
6:00 am
crosshair
you should try it , ruby. It is great fun busting the grading curve on all those lazy 19-25 year olds:)
6:00 am
rubyfoo
No tornados (thanks God) ut a mess, anyway
6:01 am
crosshair
only problem with doing that is you get stuck with a lot of peer editing.
6:03 am
crosshair
they all laugh now when I bring out my editing kit( yellow highlighter and three sharp pencils) I call my highlighter "mellow yellow" and none of the kids get the joke:)
6:03 am
Scrabbler
And you are probably amazed with the poor spelling and grammar of your young classmates.
6:04 am
crosshair
scrabby, I do not know how they got as far as they did in high school.
6:04 am
rubyfoo
bring in the record!
6:04 am
crosshair
first I have to tell half of them what a "record" is
6:05 am
rubyfoo
Are you both too young to have learned to parse sentences? The young ones probably don't even know what parse means, unless it's attached to something green and curly
6:05 am
crosshair
and there are at least two that I know of who can only tell time on a digital readout. They are cofused by a clock with hands and a face
6:06 am
crosshair
confused
6:06 am
rubyfoo
that is awful! And I'm sure they never learned the times tables
6:07 am
Scrabbler
No Child Left Behind = kids get moved on to the next grade when they are not ready
6:08 am
crosshair
they no longer teach it that way ruby
6:08 am
crosshair
re parsing
6:09 am
rubyfoo
and memorizing poems.
6:09 am
crosshair
yes, scrabby. they just ram them through and they end up in learning centres
6:09 am
rubyfoo
They were so deeply embedded that I still remember most of them, all these years later
6:09 am
crosshair
and they also avoid rote memorization learning methods
6:10 am
rubyfoo
don't they realize that rote learning helps increase the number of synapses in the brain?
6:11 am
crosshair
and contrary to what you may believe, about half of the 18-25 year old males have very little skill with computers
6:11 am
rubyfoo
that surprises me, but I guess you have to know how to read to use a computer...
6:11 am
crosshair
and about 90% of them smoke, pregnant or not. It drives me crazy
6:12 am
Scrabbler
So sad.
6:12 am
rubyfoo
that is all terrible, crossy
6:13 am
crosshair
the pregnancy rate is just insane, scrabby. If I have to hazard a guess, I would say 8 out of every 10 girls there 18-22 are pregnant
6:13 am
crosshair
seems like a new babby is coming every other day now
6:13 am
rubyfoo
not enough TV channels?
6:13 am
rubyfoo
no birth control info?
6:13 am
crosshair
guess not
6:14 am
Scrabbler
We see that in our office far too often. Our theory = once the girls lose their identity of being a student or having a career they see their next identity as being a mother.
6:14 am
bonkler
those smoking, pregnant, computer illiterate, 18-25 year old males are a plague :)
6:14 am
crosshair
well, the males are not pregnant, bonkler..lol
6:14 am
crosshair
but I will clarify for you:)
6:14 am
Scrabbler
And far too many young women are attracted to those bad boys.
6:16 am
crosshair
what really blows my mind, scrabby, is they say that the doctors tell the heavy smokers to keep smoking now during pregnancy to "avoid stressing" the baby
6:16 am
crosshair
just sounds wrong
6:16 am
Scrabbler
Ugh! Smoking decreases blood flow through placenta to the fetus.
6:17 am
crosshair
I mean that is why we had all those preemies in the 60,s. all our mums smoked like fiends
6:17 am
Scrabbler
I must get ready for work. ENjoy the day, kids.

There was an article in today's paper (probably from the NYT) that they are finally finding carcinogens in e-cigs. Of course, they don't yet know the long-term effects.....

6:21 am

I'd like to know how teens can even afford cigs these days. Do they work?
6:24 am
crosshair
living at home, they work a part time job and have no bills.
6:25 am
crosshair
they save nothing
6:25 am
rubyfoo
I wonder if the parents contribute
6:26 am
crosshair
my sons friend works part time at a coffee shop, lives and home, contributes nothing and has 3k in cash on him all the time. it is insane
6:26 am
rubyfoo
that souds all wrong
6:26 am
crosshair
though his mum and dad are ready to toss the little bugger to the curb
6:28 am
crosshair
the kids spend $800.00 on an I-phone 5 and think nothing of it. Mind boggling.
6:28 am
rubyfoo
I;m glad my son is grown and there are no grandchildren to worry about
6:29 am
crosshair
my son got a 2 year old I-phone 4s for 45 dollars. I like to think his mum and I taught him the value of a dollar
6:30 am
rubyfoo
crossy, I need for you to yell at me to get at my paperwork! Be stern; call me lazy bones or whatever!
6:30 am
crosshair
brand new and still in the box, but 45 vs 800 dollars is a good thing any day
6:30 am
crosshair
naughty ruby!!
6:31 am
rubyfoo
Sounds like you did a good job with him, crossy
6:31 am
crosshair
that paperwork is not going to do itself is it?
6:31 am

that is why i traded in my 9 year old echo. the emission testing was nickle and diming me to death
10:15 am

I mean poooooF (the poo comes later)
10:16 am
crosshair
better just to use all the money on a new car
10:16 am
dcseain
it's not that expensive. :)
10:17 am
crosshair
i was looking at an etire new muffler system including catalytic, there was a pinhole leak in the filler pipe, then the o2 sensor, then it was due for new tires, and on and on and on
10:18 am
dcseain
And it's the first time in the decade i've owned it i've needed emissions repairs.

I had a 15 year old car that I lost to SuperStorm Sandy and I never had those problems
10:18 am
dcseain
Exactly, Erda. My CRV is at about 237k miles, so far so good.
10:19 am
dcseain
annie, i hope that's all you lost. That hit so hard.
10:19 am
MollyL
I never had an emissions problem with my former Hyundai and it was 12 years old when I replaced it.
10:19 am
anawaltgal
157 on my CRV, love it
10:21 am
Anniebrook
I lost the car but I had to evacuate for 3 weeks. I went to my daughter in CT and she lost all her power so we wound up at her mil's house. Five days later we were back at Liz's and stayed another 2 weeks. Now I am losing my parking spot in the parking lot (I live in a co-op due to Sandy. New electrical substation have to be built) Nasty.
10:21 am
dcseain
My uncle has my grandfather's 1982 accord. It now has about 1.2 million miles on it, and still running well.
10:22 am
MollyL
Oh no Annie. Will you have to park on the street?
10:22 am
flosey
anawaltgal, just read your bio - I too love to visit my old valley where I lived until I was 13, walking down that hill in autumn, all the beautiful red sugar maples, love that memory
10:22 am
Anniebrook
Yes, and it is a horrible situation. Especially if I have to go get Bobby if he gets sick.
10:23 am
dcseain
sigh. how will they now allocate the reduced number of spaces?
10:23 am
MollyL
Seain, same engine in that Accord?
10:23 am
anawaltgal
tks flosey
10:23 am
Anniebrook
dc, They wont. It will be an unholy mess.
10:24 am
Anniebrook
I leased a Honda Civic and I am happy with the car.
10:24 am
dcseain
Molly, yes. Engine replaces every 500k miles usually.
10:29 am
dcseain
Ra6.21 is a town near here in West Virginia, not far from Harpers Ferry.
10:31 am
MollyL
Annie, that is awful. I can't imagine relying on street parking in New York.
10:33 am
Anniebrook
Molly, It will be awful. I live near the ocean and summertime, forget it. I will go from alternate side of the street parking to the other. Or take my car to my daughter and leave it there for the long time it will take. This has really upset me.
10:35 am
dcseain
i have a friend at W 96th and Westside. She parks in CT and takes Metro North home, and goes to the car when she needs it. Your life may not support that arrangement, of course.
10:36 am
Anniebrook
dc, It boggles the mind. Manhattan is worse than Brooklyn.
10:36 am
crosshair
Lord save me forever from having to deal with city parking nightmares :(
10:39 am
dcseain
yes, parking in Manhattan is difficult, but she inherited a LOVELY rent-controlled penthouse apartment in a private elevator building.
10:40 am
crosshair
very nice;)
10:40 am
Anniebrook
dc, sounds heavenly. Then her parking dilemma is worth the hassle.
10:41 am
dcseain
It is! She has 15 foot ceilings, 10 rooms, and 5 fireplaces for about 800/month. And lovely views across the Hudson.
10:42 am
dcseain
hi, bichon
10:42 am
MollyL
Hi Bich. Jack is back tonight : D
10:42 am
Anniebrook
dc, That is unbelievable. Lucky her. Living in Manhattan is a joy...I was brought up in NY, now I cannot afford to live there. She pay practically nothing re: Manhattan rents.
10:42 am
bichon
I was going to mention that to you. Highly anticipating it
10:43 am
Anniebrook
hi bichon
10:43 am
MollyL
You can't get that kind of living space ANYWHERE for 800 a month. Wow.
10:43 am
dcseain
Yes, she got really lucky with the heritable lease.
10:44 am
Anniebrook
Anywhere is correct.
10:44 am
dcseain
Her aunt had been paying only 650/mo. Her rent froze in 1965. They increased it as much as they could when my friend got the place.
10:44 am
MollyL
People are paying thousands for tiny one room apartments in New York.
10:45 am
dcseain
yes they are. :/
10:45 am
bichon
To think I was actually sad when we left Manhattan in '72.
10:45 am
MollyL
I had no idea that rent control still existed.
10:45 am

My friends son pay $3000. for a 2 bedroom in Soho.

suefrad625
my father just moved from brooklyn. we had the apt for 50 ye**s. It was 1200 sq., on Prospect Park Circle. Only 1200 a month. My friends here almost fell out. 1200 here would buy a really nice house.
10:46 am
dcseain
1200 is very reasonable by DC standards, as well as NYC ones.
10:46 am
suefrad625
well, almost finished gardening the side. Found my normal 1 snake.
10:47 am
suefrad625
now the apt goes for 4500 per month
10:47 am
dcseain
what kind of snake?
10:47 am
Anniebrook
sue, how many bedrooms in your Dad's apartment?
10:47 am
suefrad625
dont know, beheaded it. it was a beautiful brown. We have Copperheads here so I didnt take chances.
10:48 am

good to be safe, indeed, suefrad
10:49 am

In my opinion, the price of real estate in some areas is insane.

In my subdivision in Northern Virginia, prices range from about 400k to about 1.4 million.

10:58 am

so now i'm waiting on an O2 sensor to arrive. Then, i will pass emissions they tell me. So emissions and recharge the AC. A bit more than i thought i'd spend, but yay! And if i still have the car 4 years from now, i'll no longer need emissions.
10:58 am

Just kidding : D I always prefer more fresh and less boring

Hopefully your Babble deductible will cover it.

it would be terrible if that didnt happen wouldnt it?
2:04 pm
Judi
Speaking of Sn5/10 - my husband has been banished to the couch until he gets his tonsils, etc. removed. It's like sleeping next to a rampaging warthog.
2:05 pm
MollyL
I've seen some men who look like rampaging warthogs.
2:06 pm
MLFAN17
ROTFLMAO Is that what doctor's told him t o so he wouldnt do that anymore?
2:07 pm
Judi
Yes, MLF. He saw a ear/nose/throat MD a few years ago because I told him he had apnea. Sleep clinic confirmed. Doc told him he needs his tonsils, adenoids and uvula removed to remedy the whole sn5ing and apnea. He's a big baby about it.
2:07 pm
Judi
Doc says he'll have a really sore throat for two weeks. Wah wah wah.
2:08 pm
MLFAN17
WOW How long in the hospital?
2:08 pm
MollyL
One of my kids has a bifidu uvula. He calls it a double dingy.
2:09 pm
Judi
It's only a one-day, in and out surgery. Then a diet of ice cream and pudding for two weeks.
2:09 pm
MLFAN17
my hubby and snore but nt sur about any sleeping disorders but i think hubby snores worse then i do
2:09 pm

Hi, all...six words left.
2:10 pm
Judi
Molly is speaking in tongues!
2:10 pm
MollyL
Easy folks, I corrected it.
2:10 pm
MLFAN17
i think se means bifida
2:11 pm
MollyL
Uvula...what hangs down the bad of your throat. Bifid uvula is one that is forked in two.
2:11 pm
Judi
Never heard of that one.
2:11 pm
penquis
learn something every day.... ;o)
2:11 pm
MollyL
Or the back of your throat.
2:11 pm
Judi
Forked uvula! Wild. Does he have cloven hooves too?
2:12 pm
penquis
sounds kinda evil....
2:12 pm
MLFAN17
in the throat?
2:12 pm
MollyL
At times Judi.
2:12 pm
MollyL
Look it up, it shows a picture. Nothing like having a pediatrician look down your kids throat and say "Oh, he has a bifid uvula"
2:13 pm
lbuxx
Judi- couldn't he just use a cpap machine?
2:13 pm
MollyL
This child was 11 pounds at birth, I should have seen it coming.
2:14 pm
MLFAN17
i have heard of it just didnt know what it was
2:14 pm
Judi
The surgery is a more reliable fix. Although, I've heard of some people who've needed the CPAP after the surgery. Let's not talk about that.
2:14 pm
MLFAN17
my bro has spina bifida occulta i have spina bifida
2:14 pm
MollyL
That sounds like a lot of swollen material for a CPAP to deal with.
2:15 pm
Judi
Can't remember what spina bifida is. Is that where you are born with a portion of your spine exposed?
2:15 pm
MLFAN17
how old is your chil with it Molly?
2:16 pm
MLFAN17
yes judi and curvature
2:16 pm
MollyL
Also, I know people who have used a CPAP and not had good results and had to opt for the surgery anyway.
2:16 pm
MollyL
MLF, my kid does not have spina bifida.
2:17 pm
Judi
In my opinion, the CPAP is a ridiculous contraption that causes more sleep problems than it helps.
2:17 pm
MollyL
I agree Judi
2:17 pm
MLFAN17
i know molly:)
2:18 pm
MollyL
Well then why did you ask me how old my child with it is? I don't understand.
2:18 pm
penquis
i know two people who swear by their CPAP machines....never knwe a good night's sleep until they had the machines...
2:18 pm
MLFAN17
with the bifida:)
2:18 pm
Judi
Hubby is sulking now. He says he going to record me snoring. I say fine, go ahead. I had my tonsils and adenoids out when I was 3. *sticks tongue out*
2:18 pm
MLFAN17
haha Judi
2:19 pm
MLFAN17
i wonder if caffeine makes us snore worse?
2:19 pm
Judi
And, I don't stop breathing when I sleep/snore.
2:19 pm
penquis
i had my tonsils out when i was a kid, but i have mild apnea....88% of the time, it occurs when I am sleeping on my back...
2:20 pm
MLFAN17
and no sleep disorder either for you right judi?
2:20 pm
Judi
I think apnea is more tongue/soft pallet related.
2:20 pm
Judi
No sleep disorder for me. zzzzzzzzzzz
2:20 pm
penquis
with me, it's a large tongue and a narrow airway...
2:21 pm
Judi
Bet you can hurl a mean spitball, penquis!
2:21 pm
MLFAN17
Judi your hubby mut be seriously unhappy with you right now lol
2:22 pm

2:22 pm
penquis
congrats!
2:23 pm
Judi
Oh, he's fairly resigned to the situation. I've put up with his snoring getting worse and worse. It's ultimatum time. However, to make him feel better, I told him I was going to schedule my first colonoscopy this summer.
2:23 pm
penquis
i have had 3 in the last ten years...
2:24 pm
MLFAN17
that is so nice of you judi i hope you are ok
2:24 pm

Ugh! That's way over the quota, penquis.
2:25 pm
Judi
Well, I turn 50 this summer, so... might as well get it over with.
2:25 pm

Go to a sleep clinic. They tell everyone they have sleep apnea.

2:29 pm
MLFAN17
pen i dont know any ohenry
2:29 pm
Judi
Wonder why humans have uvulas (uvulae?). It's just a dangly bit of skin. Just so you can make noise when you gargle?
2:29 pm

2:30 pm

2:30 pm
MollyL
Yes Judi, and so old men can make that hagd noise when they spit
2:30 pm
Judi
*ack* *ack* Hate that noise.
2:31 pm
MollyL

2:31 pm

Holy Fantastic Journey, Batman!
2:33 pm

Pfft...I am in tears laughing about a doctors commentary about the journey up your....
2:33 pm

2:34 pm
Judi
Note: please file under "things best not seen".
2:34 pm
penquis
the nurse is always standing by to add more sedative if i need it.... ;o)
2:35 pm
Judi
I figured the doc would just inject some gnomes to harvest the polyps (like mushrooms).
2:35 pm
MLFAN17
cyber i dont know what the first one is but the one pn just mentioned a clue fori is the only one i have found so far
2:35 pm
penquis
heh heh....
2:35 pm
MollyL
Seriously...me...getting colonoscopy...want a video with commentary? Hell no.
2:36 pm
Judi
Then you would have... polygnomials.
2:36 pm
penquis
lolol....
2:36 pm
MLFAN17
my husband and dad had them
2:36 pm
Judi
Where's Ruru? I am particularly proud of that pun.
2:37 pm
penquis
my mother had them, too....
2:37 pm
MollyL
And by the way Judi. You get your throat excavated and I'll get my colon probed is a weird marital deal.
2:37 pm
penquis
my bro's boss had his first colonoscopy at 51 -- at his insistence; doc didn't think it was necessary -- and he found that he had colon cancer....
2:38 pm

2:38 pm
penquis
lol, molly...
2:38 pm
penquis
sorry...then i don't have it yet...
2:38 pm
Judi
Polyps are quite common. Fortunately, it no longer takes major surgery to remove them. Smile for the camera and snip snip.
2:39 pm
penquis
yes, the worst thing is the prep for the procedure...
2:39 pm
Judi
I just figured an anal probing trumps a sore throat any day.
2:40 pm
MollyL
Okay, that makes sense. You do have to "one up" them when they are babies.
2:41 pm
Judi
My thoughts exactly.

8:05 pm

it is a longish movie. plan for just over 2 hours
