1:36 am
VolleymomDee

Very productive day, achy evening. We found flowers for the planting areas!
1:36 am
grannyrose

oh?? what did you get?
1:36 am
VolleymomDee

Had to have our breaks replaced grrrr.
1:36 am
grannyrose

achy hips, or achy all over, dear?
1:37 am
grannyrose

ugh, that can be expensive.
1:37 am
VolleymomDee

3 rose bushes to replace 3 that died this winter, a hydrangea plant, some multicolored wave petunias to hang off the deck, some gladiolux....
1:38 am
VolleymomDee

hips, knees, back... all over tonight. We went to 4 different flower places, so lower back started pain everywhere else. It is starting to settle down a bit now.
1:38 am
grannyrose

lovely, dee.you'll have to take pics and send them to me.i've lost 2 roses this summer. i was able to get out and water them much, and don never thought of it either.
1:39 am
VolleymomDee

a spidery purple flower that I can't remember the name
1:39 am
VolleymomDee

I hope hubby remembers to water these. He isn't a great gardener, but I love roses. We'll try them one more time :)
1:40 am
grannyrose

a cleome?
1:40 am
VolleymomDee

hmmm, that sounds right
1:41 am
sprite

good morning all
1:41 am
VolleymomDee

It has been strange buying plants here. The old house had so much shade, we bought begonias, impatiens, etc. Here we have all sun, so we have to learn everything new.
1:41 am
VolleymomDee

Hi sprite!
1:41 am
grannyrose

my next gardening project is to set up a watering system for the garden beds. i have one for the window baskets, and the bed along side of the house.
1:41 am
sprite

hello Dee
1:41 am
VolleymomDee

Hope you are doing well, sprite.

1:42 am
sprite

1:42 am

1:42 am
VolleymomDee

1:43 am
VolleymomDee

lol, rose
1:43 am
grannyrose

not bad today, sprite. have taken it very easy. went for lunch with a friend. first time since the surgery. it felt great.
1:43 am
sprite

how liberating, rose :) I hope you had a good time.
1:43 am
grannyrose

lol, ruru, i'm just another flower child....in disguise.
1:44 am
VolleymomDee

bet it was liberating
1:44 am
grannyrose

are you really fine, sprite? was it another warm day yesterday?
1:44 am
rururocks

If you sleep in a manger..we will know you have lost it
1:45 am
grannyrose

and who are you calling a dog in a manger? huh? huh?
1:45 am
sprite

yes but today seems a bit cooler. And yeah, am fine. Must shop and cook dinner today, that is a bit of a battle. But otherwise all is well.
1:46 am
grannyrose

hopefully being a little cooler will help you, sprite. just take it in easy stages, pace yourself...hmmm, where have i heard that before?
1:46 am
sprite

guess you are picking up vibes from my night, grin. I had horrible dreams again. Serial killers, for starters.
1:49 am
sprite

yes will pace myself. Am gonna do it in stages. First thing will be the shopping, gonna do that this morning. And rest between.
1:49 am
VolleymomDee

oooh, not fun. I hate nightmares. Hope your day and cooking go really well, sprite. Well, I am off to my pillow! Have a great eve / day all! *poofing with hugs*
1:50 am

1:50 am
sprite

rose, my new babble dictionary word for today:
per + ma6/24, someone who is raving mad forever.
1:51 am
grannyrose

hmmmm...lolol....someone we know?
1:51 am
sprite

*grin* could be, could be...
1:51 am
grannyrose

*equally evil grin*
1:53 am
sprite

lol am still laughing... someone from my eating disorder group is organizing a lady's party with naughty toys. And I am invited. Emailed her to get her address... ages ago. No answer. Emailed again, no answer. Posted on her facebook, got a lovely long email in reply... and she forgot to give me her address again :)
1:54 am
grannyrose

oh, for goodness sake....how silly
1:54 am
sprite

she has ADHD and has trouble focussing on one thing for long, lol. It is endearing.
1:56 am
grannyrose

it would be, sprite. and because of you being who you are, you understand her quite well. a lot of others would quietly slip aw4, and forget about a friend like that.
1:57 am
sprite

she is a lovely person. I don't mind her quirks, I have mine, lol. A bit of a sense of humour is all it takes to enjoy eachother's peculiarities, right?
1:58 am
grannyrose

right! like our group he4 does.
1:59 am
sprite

exactly. Imagine everybody being just like you... or me... *shudders* How perfectly boring that would be.
2:00 am
grannyrose

hey, speak for yourself....lolol....i am not boring....besides it would be like watching a pin-ball machine. all of us bouncing of each other.
2:01 am
sprite

hahahaha no slight intended... I just meant that diversity is so much nicer than uniformity.
2:02 am
grannyrose

no offence taken....so agree, that's what makes this site so different. tolerance from most players for others.
2:03 am
sprite

indeed! A good place, our babble.
2:06 am
sprite

oh I see Kent Clark could make it today :)
2:07 am
grannyrose

yeah, and his twin brother, there are 2 of them.
2:07 am
sprite

I miss our pugs. I hope she is soundly asleep.
2:20 am
grannyrose

she was probably very tired. did she work 2 days in a row?
2:20 am
sprite

I thought so, yes. And her back was giving her a hard time.
2:21 am
grannyrose

hmmm, do i need to send her some magnesium, do you think?
2:21 am
sprite

oh, great idea!
2:22 am
Dianne

what kind of Job did she get?
2:22 am
grannyrose

okay, will do, but we will have to make sure she takes it.
2:22 am
sprite

she was hired by the factory where she used to work something like 12 years back.
2:23 am
sprite

yes, we will, rose
2:24 am
Dianne

Well if it is assembly line work she will certainly be tired.
2:24 am
sprite

not sure what kind of work it is. But could very well be that.
2:25 am
sprite

2:26 am
grannyrose

poor frogface, i'm sorry dear. your mam-in-law has a very wicked sense of humour. dad never knows what is going to come out of my mouth.
5:33 am
worzel

anyways I'm away to the kitchen to ruin my diet and get some bacon butties I'll see u in a bit xx
5:34 am
worzel

you girls BEHAVE!!!!!
5:34 am
frogface

or go in ???
5:34 am
grannyrose

uh, worzel, don't touch it!!
5:34 am
frogface

he's gonna become a pig eventually, he eats so much
5:35 am
grannyrose

oh, let him, frogface....he'll work it off in bed...
5:35 am
frogface

comes to something when worzy tells someone to behave, we must really be bad
5:36 am
grannyrose

oh, yeah.....that word not in my dictionary...*giggle*
5:37 am
frogface

never heard it before, i'm a good girl
5:38 am
grannyrose

so, what are your plans for the day, frogface?
5:39 am
frogface

as little as possible, just a bit of pottering round the house, nothing exciting unfortunately
5:39 am
grannyrose

are you into gardening like worzel?
5:40 am
frogface

not as much, i do the inside of the house, decorating, i do help him a bit tho
5:42 am
grannyrose

yeah. just after dad and i were married, he was outside, trying to get the better of a clump of blackberries. i, naturally, grabbed my gloves and secateurs, and went out to help him. when dad saw me, his jaw dropped, and he said what are you doing? i said i'm helping you......his ex next did anything with him at all. i think it's good for couples to do stuff together.
5:43 am
frogface

it is, especially when you see the finished result and you can think....we did that.
5:43 am
grannyrose

re4 *never*
5:44 am
grannyrose

there's some stuff he wouldn't touch with a 40' barge pole...like the ironing, and writing a shopping list.
5:45 am
frogface

worzy isn't too bad, when he first moved in he used to do all the ironing, but somehow that has become my job, lol, but he will do most other stuff
5:45 am
frogface

he's not a bad lad
5:45 am
grannyrose

and there's stuff i won't touch, like changing the oil in the motorbike....i predict i would probably suffer something unspeakable if i tried it.
5:46 am
frogface

i'll try anything once, i figure it's worth a go
5:48 am
frogface

was funny when we tried to fix the mower, was dumb and dumber, but we did it in the end
5:52 am
grannyrose

yay, you both. anything mechanical, i leave to him. and anything to do with the computer...it's so sad. he has the degree in computer stuff, and i , i want to die computer illiterate.
5:53 am
frogface

you seem pretty computer savvy, i'm the same tho, the computer confuses me
5:54 am
grannyrose

not as savvy as himself, or two of my bro's.
5:55 am
frogface

it's the best way to be, computers are always going to be here now, they are the future i suppose, even if i do want to go back to pen and paper sometimes
5:56 am
grannyrose

i still do at times, frogface. the art of communication is being lost.
5:57 am
frogface

it is, i've got a few letter worzy sent me, and i keep them, it's kinda romantic, texts and emails........not so much
5:58 am
zoozzoom

6:02 am
zoozzoom

My mother is on the verge of a nervous break down very hard to watch and try and comfort.
6:03 am
grannyrose

6:03 am
zoozzoom

But we are slowly getting there..funeral is on the 2nd june.
6:04 am
zoozzoom

Thanks, Rose, yes he has prescribed some valium type pills but they are not much help for grief..but having family and friends around is helping.
6:05 am
grannyrose

that's a while. keep her accompanied at all times, so she can talk as much as she needs to do.
6:05 am
zoozzoom

OK just wanted to know how you were getting on, Rose, Take care and hope to speak to you soon *hugs*...bye for now.

6:38 am
worzel

Good, good! The UK is a little overcast, dull and boring - as seems the norm for our early summers nowadays. However, I and my good lady are good - well, I have a small viral thing going on, but I can cope and won't let it "bug" me
6:38 am

6:42 am

It is to be a brand new shower for us all to see

MollyL

7:01 am
72 Temple Owl

hi, car. no , molly, just yard work and concert. next weekend is nj crawfish festival. will pale by comparison, though.
7:02 am
MollyL

Mmm, I love seafood festivals.
7:03 am
72 Temple Owl

i did not have boiled crawfish in LA. they just look nasty, heads on and all
7:06 am
MollyL

They are very passionate about their crawfish down there. I'll take a Maryland blue crab over crawfish any day.
7:07 am
72 Temple Owl

i only saw fried at the event itself. did not see them at the restaurants. next weekend will be mostly about music and dance.
7:08 am
72 Temple Owl

i love crab. cannot wait to get to annapolis for some. perhaps in two weeks.
7:08 am
car.eeyore

We will be heading to the shoreline in Maryland this summer......CRAB FEST!!!!!

7:13 am

You all have beautiful beaches up there, what brings you all the way down to Maryland?
7:14 am
car.eeyore

Family vaca....dad is renting a beach house for a month
7:14 am
car.eeyore

We had done it many years ago, so it will be so much fun to go back with the kids
7:14 am
car.eeyore

Dewey, maybe?
7:14 am
MollyL

Yep Dewey, that is in Delaware though, very close to Maryland. Nice beach town.
7:15 am
car.eeyore

That's it then!
7:15 am
MimiCat

Morning, everyone. Typing very slowly today. Took a fall yesterday and both my arms are really painful. Can barely move either. Don't think I broke a bone but may have splintered one or two. My right elbow and forearm can barely be moved. Not sure how I'm going to do anything like this and hoping it will heal soon.
7:15 am
car.eeyore

{{MimiCat}}
7:15 am
periwinkle

sorry to hear about your fall, Mimicat
7:15 am
MollyL

Sorry to hear that Mimi, hope you heal up quickly.
7:15 am
car.eeyore

Ummm...can you go for an x-ray?
7:16 am
MollyL

Yeah, splintered bones are nothing to fool around with.
7:18 am
periwinkle

bbl
7:18 am
MimiCat

I don't think I need one but if this doesn't get better in a couple of days I may just to be sure. You should have seen me trying to get a can of cat food out of the cupboard this morning. Really a challenge since it's very painful raising either of my arms higher than mid chest level. I'm going to have my neighbor come and move several cans down to the counter.
7:18 am
car.eeyore

Mimi...I would go today.
7:18 am
car.eeyore

It's a long weekend coming up and if you run into trouble you will be stuck in an ER for hours.
7:19 am
MollyL

I agree with Car
7:20 am
car.eeyore

the water nymph is in the grid today...FYI\
7:21 am
car.eeyore

AC 7/40 comes from that A, Peri
7:21 am
MimiCat

I'm doing warm compresses and taking Aleve. I think it's mostly muscle/inflammation issue. I'll see how it goes. I don't actually have a doctor other than my cardiologist but there's an urgent care just across the street a bit. Will see how it goes. Thanks for the concern.
7:21 am
car.eeyore

I mean AC 6/27...sorrrrry!
7:22 am
car.eeyore

Please take care of yourself.
7:22 am
MollyL

No more vodka for breakfast for you, young lady
: D
7:22 am
MimiCat

The real problem is that there's no way I can work like this. But I'll have 4 days to get it done so might improve enough by Sunday. I'm lucky to be able to do it that way.
7:23 am
car.eeyore

LOL
7:23 am
MimiCat

Actually, since I can't do much, vodka for breakfast may just be a great idea! I fell because one of my cats raced in front of me as I was going into kitchen.
7:24 am
car.eeyore

<clink>
7:24 am
car.eeyore

Screwdrivers and bloody marys for all
7:25 am
MollyL

The emergency room will refer to that as "woman vs cat"
7:25 am
car.eeyore

Cat won
7:26 am
MimiCat

Was just going to say that, car! All three look worried and stay huddled around me...it's very touching.
7:26 am
car.eeyore

Of course....keep your enemies closer....
7:28 am
MimiCat

OK...this is getting too painful. Another warm compress session and vodka (for medicinal purposes of course) coming up! Of course, not even sure I can lift the bottle......man, this sucks!
7:28 am
car.eeyore

Seriously Mimi....no vodka...urgent care. It could affect how they treat you, so go there first.
7:30 am
MimiCat

Thanks, car. I have no way to get there until tomorrow anyway. I think I just need to be determined to rest and that's the most difficult thing for me. This is the only thing that benefits from extra body fat....I mostly bounce!
7:32 am
Lizlin

Just came in to turn my computer off - leaving 56 til tomorrow, and saw about your fall, Mimi. Hugs. Get a taxi to the medical centre or something. Call a neighbour. Don't leave it - you might cause all sorts of problems. Having said my bit, I'll now head to bed. Hugs :)
7:32 am
MimiCat

((Liz))
7:36 am
MollyL

The problem is, bone injury after "a certain age" needs to be treated immediately, not days later.
7:38 am
car.eeyore

Mimi I wish I was there to take you myself.
7:38 am
car.eeyore

OK...must take Mom to her day program. Back in a bit.
7:49 am

I just cut open the holiday weekend watermelon. Wow is it good. Wish it were injected with vodka but, those pesky kids, you know?
7:59 am

Hiyas, kiddoes! *doing happy three-day weekend dance*

Judi, Car and her clan are headed down your way this summer, Dewey.
8:01 am
Judi

*snarf snarf* Goes well with the diet shake I'm drinking now. Bleh.
8:02 am
Judi

Dewey! Party town. Not our kind of place. But, there are some very nice rental homes down there.
8:02 am
MollyL

Yes, I don't remember much of the last weekend I spent in Dewey. : D
8:03 am
Judi

Mimi - read about your fall. Try some ice packs instead of the heat. Better for swelling injuries. If your arms swell up real bad, get to that urgent care.
8:04 am
MollyL

Yeah, I thought it was ice for the first 24, then heat.
8:06 am
rururocks

I am guessing the ice will jave dual uses
8:06 am

I hear that quiet in New York is a rare commodity
8:31 am
Judi

Don't you just love the sounds of sirens in the evening? And the night? And at all other hours of the day?
8:32 am
MollyL

I'm very suburban. Big cities make me tense. I like some space, some trees and not a lot of noise.
8:33 am
Judi

Me too, Molls. I need my elbow and ear room.
8:33 am
MollyL

And being from the DC area, where DC is my go to city, cities with tall buildings freak me out. We don't have them here.
8:34 am
Judi

Cities annoy me. I don't even like going into Wilmington. I liked Toronto. That was a beautiful city. And Montreal.

Grok means to understand so thoroughly that the observer becomes a part of the observed—to merge, blend, intermarry, lose identity in group experience. It means almost everything that we mean by religion, philosophy, and science—and it means as little to us (because of our Earthling assumptions) as color means to a blind man.

2:24 pm

I decided to put the burgers on the grill barbeque on the cooktop. I am afraid these burgers are endangered as my husband is pretty hungry.
2:25 pm
saanichcat

feed him, hungry husbands...
2:25 pm
hego

Or maybe my pretty clematis vine can brighten your day.
2:25 pm
saanichcat

hego, just imagining it cheers me
2:26 pm
hego

it is my icon, can you see it?
2:26 pm
stidgmere

I can complete that sentence, sanich!! I have a white clematis just blooming today and the flowers are the size of coffee saucers. The little pink one is about finished blooming but it was so pretty too. I'll look at your icon hego.
2:26 pm
saanichcat

what a fabulous senual coulour! What is it's name?
2:27 pm
saanichcat

sensual
2:27 pm

I have no idea Saani.
2:27 pm

Great word, sensual. Rich and deep, full value color there hego.
2:27 pm

But they are huge also and almost luminous.
2:27 pm

All for now the rescue is in full swing to get lunch onthe table. GGlessings to all.

Stidge, what is the name of your white clematis? Sounds amazing
2:30 pm

bye...
2:31 pm
jaxx7

i love clematis too. We have a pink and white 'Nelly Moser' that is almost 30years old. It has huge blooms as well but they soon bleach in the sun, unfortunately. The small pink one sounds like a clematis Montane.
2:31 pm

Really? sorry, I'm a terrible typist.
2:34 pm
jaxx7

As long as the name is not rude, I'm happy.
2:34 pm
hego

:)
2:36 pm
jaxx7

I love that clematis, hego. I think it is the same family as the Nelly Moser we have but the name escapes me at the moment.
2:36 pm
hego

I never knew it. Just saw it in the garden center and loved it.
2:37 pm
jaxx7

We used to have a blue version in a large pot but it blew over in the winter gales and hasn't recovered.
2:38 pm
hego

too bad
2:38 pm
MollyL

Yes, Jaxx has been around for a while, but still no profile. I always think she is a new person at first. But then there are many "grey heads" these days.
2:39 pm
jaxx7

Mine is a pink head! It matches my specs
2:39 pm
hego

:)
2:40 pm
MollyL

Don't see a pink head, just the grey head.
2:40 pm
hego

You have to go to England for that.
2:41 pm
jaxx7

I can't get hold of Dr God. All my e-mails come back as undeliverable so I shall be profieless for a little longer I'm afraid, Molly
2:41 pm
jaxx7

profileless!
2:42 pm
MollyL

Really? Dr. God is very good about responding to emails from users. His email address is dr.god@playbabble.com. You need to put a period between dr and god.
2:42 pm
jaxx7

grey hair denotes wisdom but I am not sure about pink hair. Crazy perhaps
2:43 pm
hego

I must be wise as all get out, then.
2:43 pm
jaxx7

I will try again, promise. I know my lack of profile drives you mad.
2:43 pm
hego

imagination Jaxx
2:43 pm
MollyL

No, it really doesn't drive me mad at all. I just find it curious.
2:44 pm
jaxx7

I still have my name in the rankings in black. I know I am a half breed! lol
2:44 pm
hego

I always contact him on Facebook where he is Babble Overlord.
2:45 pm

Now I could try that, hego. Good idea. I am of the (very) old school and don't use Facebook all that much

Never, that is.

Molly, one of my scariest height moments was when my mom and I started back down Mont Ste. Victoire and realized we'd taken the difficile path rather than the facile one!! and nothing to hold onto . . . slid in the dust and gravel and peed our pants all the way down LOL!
3:03 pm
MollyL

Oh, I thought that was part of the huge weenie joke
3:04 pm

Great story Une.. I am getting the most wonderful mental images. And RIP your lovely Mom. And hello all.
3:43 pm
Soodle

Ruru, If you are still onboard, will you give my regards to Broadway? Please.
3:50 pm
Soodle

Oh dear. I suppose Broadway is just going to have to soldier on without the regards of Soodle. :-(
3:50 pm
MollyL

Please do Ru, I'm sure Broadway has been just dying to hear from Soodle. : P
3:52 pm
Soodle

Holding it's breath, I would say. (Broadway, that is, awaiting my regards).
3:53 pm
MollyL

I'm sure it just hasn't been the same since the last time your regards flew in. : (
3:54 pm
MollyL

Ru is going to be really busy. What with regards, and all those "hugs" he is supposed to give Dorens and then get "hugs" back for people. He will be plum tuckered out.
3:55 pm
Soodle

The one and only time I was there, I saw Miss Saigon. That wasn't today nor yesterday. I'm due a return visit to New York. Heck. New York is due a return visit from ME.
3:57 pm
Soodle

LOL, Molls. Vicarious Babble hugs can be very time consuming. This I know for a fact after the mini-Irish meet up. But pesky good-looking waiters kept getting in the way. Tsk tsk.
3:59 pm
MollyL

I think River was astute enough to have conveyed a general "hug from Babble people". If not, you two would still be standing there with River saying "This is a hug from Person A, and this is a hug from Person B...etc ad infinatum"
4:01 pm
Soodle

Hugs were OK. The rock we perished on was when we started having drinks for individuals... Heres to Ruby. Clink. Heresh to Peri. C;
4:02 pm
Soodle

Clink. Heresh to Mollsh. Clink. Heresh to em all clinkety clinkety clink...
4:02 pm
MollyL

Oh well toasting people is okay and works to both of your advantage. I'm glad River was our Babble ambassador to Ireland. Couldn't have been a nicer person for you to have your first Babble meet with.
4:04 pm
MollyL

And *cough* like all those drinks would not have been consumed anyway, had you no one to toast. *cough*
4:04 pm
Soodle

For sure!!
4:05 pm
MollyL

So what is new in your world? How are the kids? How are the elder folks? How are you?
4:07 pm
Soodle

Kids are A1, Molly. Healthy and happy. Thanks be to God. The olds are still this side of the ground, which is good. My Dad got a place in a Nursing home in Dublin last week, which eliminates the necessity for me to be spending 9 hours a day visiting him, which is just wonderful. My Mom is ... hanging in there. And I am well. Thank you for asking.
4:09 pm
Soodle

The artist formerly known as Son of Soodle (Paul) is home at the moment, which always raises my spirits.
4:10 pm
MollyL

Sounds good. Glad to hear that things have taken a turn for the better. May that keep on.
4:10 pm
Soodle

Indeed. And you? How is life treating you?
4:12 pm
MollyL

I have decided that it's not about how life is treating me, it's about how I respond to that treatment. All is wonderful.
4:14 pm
Soodle

Whoa! Excellent philosophy.

Saani, I am still a student in Earth school. I take copious notes and show up for the next lesson eagerly.

Hello Soodle!

Molly I wish you had a blog
4:19 pm

Soodle, how goes it?
4:20 pm

Oh Saani, I am laughing here. You are probably one of the very few people who wishes that. : D
4:21 pm

I appreciate your honesty and dry wit and getting right to the centre of issues, thats why

4:25 pm
72 Temple Owl

hello, soodle
4:26 pm
saanichcat

glad to hear that, such laughter you will have
4:29 pm
Soodle

Laughter, teasing, bickering, argumentativeness, more bickering, more laughing, more fighting. Just a normal family getogether really. I savour every milisecond of it.
4:30 pm
saanichcat

sounds great!!!
4:31 pm
MollyL

It's good to have your circle of loved ones around, Soodle. I'm glad they are all there. That does a Mother's heart good.
4:32 pm
Soodle

Seriously Molly, have you ever though of starting a blog?
4:34 pm
MollyL

Blogs tend to end up being the minute details of someone's life, kind of like Facebook postings on a grander scale.
4:34 pm
Soodle

You speak sense. Your head is firmly on your shoulders. You seem to have the ability to see the wood instead of the trees.
4:38 pm
MollyL

Ah, you have no idea how nonsensical I have been, how off kilter my head has gotten and how much time I have spent among the trees. : D
4:39 pm
Soodle

I know you are going to hate this, but I'm going to do it anyway... ((((MollyL))))
4:39 pm
MollyL

Thanks for the parentheses. : P
4:40 pm
Soodle

So.... Moving swiftly on.... How's the weather in your part of the world?
4:42 pm
MollyL

And it's not that I "hate" the idea of conveying warmth to someone. I'm just not a big proponent of doing that with punctuation marks. The weather here is glorious.
4:43 pm
MollyL

And I hope your dog and cat and all other pets are doing well. : P
4:43 pm
Soodle

Understood. But, in fairness, it's difficult to convey any sort of emotion (good or bad) via a keyboard.
4:46 pm
Soodle

Well... the dog is a rescue creature. If she were a human, she would surely be blonde. Sorely lacking in grey matter. The cat is fat, greedy and arrogant. The budgie, called Babble is the lowest maintenance pet Chez Soodle.
4:46 pm
MollyL

Yeah, but I am a word person and I find that sort of thing better done with words. Just my opinion (which usually goes over like a lead balloon here)
: D
4:47 pm
Soodle

Which reinforces my theory that there is a need for 'Sarcasm' font on a standard keyboard.
4:50 pm
MollyL

That would be fun, but I doubt it would make much difference to the humorless.
4:50 pm
jaxx7

Hi, Soodle and Molly (again)
4:51 pm
Soodle

Ah, (((Jaxx))). Nice to see you. :-)
4:52 pm
jaxx7

Soodle, I guess that rock we talked about has shifted?
4:53 pm
jaxx7

You sound so much better
4:53 pm
Soodle

If not quite shifted, Jaxx, It's certainly been dislodged, and open to movement.
4:54 pm
jaxx7

That's the point of the story
4:54 pm
Soodle

Indeed. :-)
4:54 pm
jaxx7

and i am so pleased for you
4:55 pm
Soodle

I know you are, Jaxx, and that means a lot. Thank you.
4:55 pm

Now, do you have a clue for de8 please. it's all I want you for really :))
4:57 pm
Soodle

Back of my hand to my forehead........ You only wanted me for my words..... Dramatic sigh...
4:57 pm

LOL.
4:58 pm

Could somebody please help with the DE 8. PLEASE.
4:59 pm

Hey Zoom, how are you and your clan doing. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
5:00 pm
jaxx7

Thanks, zooz. how are you?
5:01 pm
jaxx7

Soodle, don't say that. You are good at listening
5:02 pm
zoozzoom

Funeral is on the 2nd of June..mother is close to a nervous breakdown..taking tablets for it plus lots of family & friends around to help..many thanks for all your kind support..it really does mean a lot to me..thank you.
5:02 pm
Soodle

Ah, Zooz. Mega hugs ((((()))). I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your brother. That was a really bad blow. I hope you are doing ok, old friend. (((More hugs))))
5:03 pm
zoozzoom

All I can say is drink has taken my brother away from us way to early at only 54.
5:04 pm
jaxx7

I know that extreme feeling of loss as a mother who went through it herself. tell her it won't get easier immediately but eventually she won't suffer so much pain. I will think of all of you om the 2nd of June.
5:05 pm
jaxx7

That stuff is worse than any other drug
5:05 pm
zoozzoom

I will tell her, Jaxx, not just yet as i do not think it would sink in but over time i will..thanks.
5:05 pm
MollyL

Oh man Zoom, I didn't know it was alcoholism that took him. It is a horrible disease. Please know that all the good thoughts and prayers coming your way are a blanket of comfort for you.
5:06 pm
zoozzoom

I do like a drink and still will have one now and again..just sad when it becomes an addiction some people can not get out of.
5:06 pm
Soodle

Zooz, is there anything us Babblers can do to make things a bit easier for you? Would you like to tell us about your brother? Would you like us not to mention what happened? Is there anyway at all that we can help you to get through this awful time?
5:08 pm
ivesy3

zooz, as a mother of a recovering addict i offer sympathy.. we also have it in the back of our minds that this will happen.. i always do..so sorry
5:08 pm
zoozzoom

Thanks, Soodle, but it is not so much about the drink problem my brother had but where, how and the state he was found and we had no idea that hurts the most. the feeling of wish we knew to try and help..but he just wuld not let us in.
5:08 pm
MollyL

Zoom, Mom will find peace in her own time. There isn't much anyone can do to mend the hurt in her heart right now. And words are meaningless to someone going through such a loss. Again, you folks are in my prayers.
5:09 pm
ivesy3

thats always have it in my our minds, not also.. its always there...
5:09 pm
jaxx7

She is overwhelmed by all sorts of feelings at the moment but I'm willing to bet the hardest to bear is the sense of guilt. If there is anything I can do to help let me know.
5:09 pm
zoozzoom

Agreed, Molly..just being there for her is all we can do at this early stage.
5:10 pm
ivesy3

oh yes the guilt... i agree jaxx.. its terrible
5:10 pm
MollyL

You are a wise one Zoom, that is all you can do right now.
5:11 pm
MollyL

And Zoom, there is no way to help someone who won't let you in. Try not to beat yourself up over that.
5:12 pm
zoozzoom

OK once again for being here my babble friends..but I can no longre see what I am typing..so will go for now..but I thank you all for putting up with me being sad at this moment in my life.
5:13 pm
MollyL

Any time Zoom, there are people who care about you here. Always remember that.
5:13 pm
MollyL

This all reminds me of some good advice I got once.
Nothing that comes after "if only" matters.
5:14 pm
Soodle

Oh Zooz, there is a process that you, your Mam & all bereaved by your brother's passing must go through. There will be grief, lots of grief, there will be anger, guilt, and eventually some sort of accxeptance. Zooz, your are a dear Babble friend and I will pray for you, your family and the peaceful repose of the soul of your brother

I think I'll go to bed now. My heart is breaking for Zooz. I really wish I could give him an actual hug rather than an parenthesis one. I hear you Molly
5:19 pm
jaxx7

Sleep well, soodle and sweet dreams
5:22 pm
Soodle

Nite Jaxx. I really wish i could make life a bit easier for Zooz.
5:25 pm
jaxx7

it's that rock thing again. It is a cliche but time will make things easier. You have your own experience to confirm that and I have my late son. Alcohol ism is a nightmare. I think from what Zooz said that no-one knew of the problems his brother had and that adds to the impact.
5:26 pm
MollyL

I don't think that people grieving a loss need other people to take it on, and act as if it is a personal tragedy for them. On the contrary, what our grieving friends need to hear is words of strength and hope from those of us trying to support them.
5:26 pm
periwinkle

well said, Molly
5:27 pm
jaxx7

I agree, Molly. if he needs to work it out then he knows where we are.
5:27 pm
MollyL

Thanks Peri. I have been through this grief thing and I learned a few lessons along the way.
5:28 pm
jaxx7

He's worried about his mother too. You expect parents to be strong.
5:29 pm
MollyL

No, not really. Not when they have lost a child. That is the most horrible and unexpected loss there is.
5:29 pm
periwinkle

very true, no matter how old the child
5:30 pm
jaxx7

I know that personally Molly. nevertheless, you still feel like a child when your parents are there whatever your age. It is hard to realise that they are human too
5:31 pm
MollyL

I was very close with a woman who was in her late 70's and lost a son in his mid 40's. She was never the same after that.
5:32 pm
jaxx7

I lost mine when I was 60, Molly. It has taken me nearly nine years to accept that it was out of my control as a mother
5:33 pm
Anniebrook

Zooz, if you are still here please accept my condolences on the loss of your brother and extend the same to your family. So sorry.
5:33 pm
jaxx7

I tried, I really tried and yet he still took his own life at 30 years of age.
5:34 pm
Anniebrook

oh jaxx, what mothers go through. very sad to read that.
5:36 pm
jaxx7

I do understand what Zooz' mother is going through.
5:40 pm
MollyL

Probably best to focus on what Zoom is going through at the moment and offer up any words of support we can.
5:41 pm
jaxx7

Fine
5:41 pm
pr

I'm so sorry jaxx. No mother should have to endure that.
5:43 pm
jaxx7

The point I am trying to make is that after more than 15 years of struggle, it was not unexpected while in zooz' family case they didn't know and that has made it harder
5:48 pm
jaxx7

and that is my last word. I am off to my bed.
5:49 pm
Anniebrook

have a peaceful night, jaxx
5:54 pm
MollyL

Everyone has their own take on things like this. I was just trying to suggest that when someone is going through a difficult grief of their own, our stories of our grief experiences are not really what they need. At least that was my experience. It's not about what happened to you, or how your heart is breaking, it's about what is happening to them. Sorry if this was misunderstood.
5:56 pm
Anniebrook

jaxx was sharing her own experience with losing a child. I think it probably helped jaxx, somewhat, even after all these years. It never really ends.
5:59 pm
MollyL

I understand that Annie. Perhaps it is just my experience with comments after losing a loved one. I really didn't want to hear about "other women who had lost their husband" or "how they dealt with it". What I appreciated the most was just the kind words and the person who would sit next to me and remind me to breathe.

well I just walked into this heavy convo, but MollyL I wholeheartedly agree with you... my closest friend is dying of brain cancer and she is so OVER people coming in the room and saying Well when uncle Bill had brain cancer, he died just like that. And Etc. Everyone has a story to share, but the person living the story right now doesn't want to hear it. OK just my 2 cents.

MollyL

Like I said, everyone has their own take on things.
6:01 pm
MollyL

Thanks Lil, I'm glad someone understands. And I'm very sorry about your friend. I will light a candle for you and for her.
6:01 pm

I think just caring words and keeping someone company is best. Just let them know you love and care for them, and they are important to you.

Thanks you Moly, her name is Mary Eileen.

crosshair

Just reading back and both side of the grief/ death/ crisis view are correct. In the initial stages support and kind words and just being there for some who has lost a loved one is crucial. Later on , however, the sharing of ones own pain and similar experiences can let a person know that even though there is pain and anguish at the moment, the can be and is resolution, closure and indeed a life after the death of someone close.
8:11 pm
Bugsaw

thankyou for your perspective crossy. well said
8:12 pm
Uneaixoise

8:15 pm
crosshair

ahh right now i am studying a civil action suit; Anderson v. W.R. Grace
8:16 pm
crosshair

The parties involved are filing for compensation for negligence, pain and suffering, wrongful death, and financial restitution for their homes and the property they sit upon.
8:18 pm
crosshair

if you give me your addy, you can peer edit my paper for me:))
8:20 pm
Bugsaw

bugsawbabble@gmail.com I can edit for grammar and ease of understanding but the content must remain yours. I would love to read it just for information. I sort of remember this. Anderson was the first person to notice the connection between leukemia and polutants i think
8:21 pm

just have to add a conclusion but 99% of it is there.
8:26 pm
Bugsaw

ok printing now
8:27 pm
crosshair

you are quite correct, bugsaw this is the exact case that i am working on
8:27 pm
crosshair

there was a movie done about it called A Case study starring John Travolta
8:28 pm
crosshair

the movie itself ended quite abruptly, but was enjoyable to watch
8:35 pm
o-o

Six people died including five children. The settlements reached to me are surprisingly low.
8:36 pm
crosshair

do you know the settlement totals per familly o-o?
8:37 pm
crosshair

although money cannot replace the loss of a loved one.
8:38 pm
o-o

No, but nine million leads me to believe there were proof problems.
8:41 pm
crosshair

well, big corporations like this will drag things out hoping to bankrupt the plaintiffs into settling quickly for a lesser ammount than they had hoped for.
8:41 pm
crosshair

it gets to be a contest as to whose pockets are deeper
8:43 pm
crosshair

that was untill their lawyer gave all the doccuments over to the E.P.A
8:44 pm
o-o

I expect the clients had contingency fee arrangement with their lawyers
8:44 pm
crosshair

i am sure, but in this case, the lawyer and his entire firm ran out of capital as well
8:45 pm
crosshair

everyone went broke on the way to the initial 8 million
8:45 pm
crosshair

Personally, i would of collected what info i could and would of involved the EPA sooner
8:46 pm
o-o

one company settled for a million, one was exonerated and the last paid 8 million
8:46 pm
crosshair

ahh . got it.
8:46 pm
o-o

The EPA should not of needed an invitation to do its job
8:47 pm
crosshair

the lawyers for the plaintiffs even sold the furniture and their own home to generate liquid capital
8:47 pm
crosshair

no, they should not have.
8:49 pm
o-o

Aerial photos showed barrels of contaminants on the property of one company going back into the sixties
8:50 pm
crosshair

and, if the movie was correct, they borrowed an additional $600,000.00 from the bank
8:50 pm
SeaSpray

Was this in NJ?
8:50 pm
o-o

MA I believe
8:51 pm

yes, and they did a fast and dirty dump of all toxic materials on site in 1981, tossing the bulk of it into an ajacent river
8:51 pm

I think I saw the tail end of that movie last week.
8:52 pm
crosshair

the movie ended abruptly and it could have been done better
8:53 pm
SeaSpray

Is there a book?
8:53 pm
crosshair

some actual court scenes with the family, the lawyer of the plaintiffs and the E.P.A would of really helped
8:53 pm
crosshair

i think there is, seaspray
8:53 pm
SeaSpray

As we all know the book is always better.
8:54 pm
crosshair

yup. I can only think of one or two instances where the book is inferior to the movie
8:54 pm
Bugsaw

9:25 pm
crosshair

9:26 pm
crosshair

9:26 pm

9:27 pm
Bugsaw

looking at your paper now crossy.... thanks for letting me learn some more
9:28 pm

no problem, bugsaw. Thank you for agreeing to peer edit on my behalf. I cannot do it in my class because it seems that 90% of them should be sent back to high school to repeat grades 9-12:(
9:34 pm
crosshair

9:43 pm
crosshair

It is my bed time. tc all and happy babbling> i will touch base with you tomorrow, bugsaw.
