12:54 am

grannyrose

12:55 am

rururocks

I didn't have much time to guess. I had to rush to the ER.. and I went to my car where I jabbed myself with an epipen

12:55 am

tuco

my mom just had a transcather aorta valve replacement at 87 years old. She is doing great

12:55 am

rururocks

12:56 am

puglet

Hi tuco, thats great news

12:56 am

tuco

they went in port side between her ribs below her breast with a bovine valve

12:56 am

rururocks

wow

12:57 am

puglet

that sounds scarey Ru

12:57 am

rururocks

has she taken a liking to eating grass tuco :D

12:57 am

grannyrose

it looks a little like cardiac failure. not too bad now, but doc wants it checked out. short of breath, and soo tired all the time. feet and legs were oedematous to the knees. not so now.

12:57 am

rururocks

that's not good granny..

12:58 am

rururocks

do you have to wait long for tests?

12:58 am

grannyrose

tuco, scary stuff for both your mom and you. i am so pleased she has pulled through. good for her.

12:59 am

tuco

they are doing great things now grannyrose hopefully you will be able to get the kind of care she has had.

12:59 am

grannyrose

the definitive testwill be done y the cardiologist when i see him in a few weeks time. he is a very busy doctor.

1:00 am

grannyrose

if my GP was at all worried she would have my admitted to a hospital.

1:01 am

puglet

well Iam worried about you

1:01 am

rururocks

ok.. that's a better sign then

1:01 am

tuco

My mom went to a teaching hospital in Philadelpha. Jefferson University Hospital. They let me see her trans esophogeal echo cardiogram on a monitor. It was amazing.

1:02 am

puglet

you taking it easy this week end Ru

1:02 am

tuco

don't let the doctors wait too long grannyrose. A squeaky wheel gets the grease!

1:02 am

rururocks

yeah... sort of.. I'm definitely taking it easy this weekend.

1:03 am

puglet

what kind of answer is that--lol

1:04 am

rururocks

I had a lot to do this week so I pushed through ..even though I wasn't feeling great

1:04 am

grannyrose

tuco, i really am okay at present. the acute phase has been managed well. my immediate superior at work is going to find out how much sick leave i have owing. i might take some time off.

1:05 am

puglet

well I hope by monday Ru you are back to full power

1:05 am

rururocks

thanks pugs..

1:06 am

puglet

Rose, I hope you are off work for now

1:06 am

rururocks

it's been hard to eat.. I get blisters on the roof of my mouth when I come into contact with nuts

1:06 am

puglet

yw Ru

1:06 am

puglet

Iam not touching that! lol

1:07 am

grannyrose

awww, poor you, ruru. can i ask you something aout your epipen? please?

1:07 am

rururocks

you'd think this game would affect me then wouldn't you :D

1:07 am

rururocks

sure

1:07 am

grannyrose

when you use it, do you go all jerky and feel your heart racing?

1:08 am

rururocks

not jerky.. but my heart does race.. but I was also upset and rushing to the hospital.. so hard to tell

1:08 am

rururocks

it's the first time I have had to use one.. i'm usually extremely careful about what I eat

1:09 am

puglet

is that the first time something like this has happen to you Ru

1:09 am

grannyrose

yeah. the last time i used mine, i was already at the doc's. he and two others almost had to lie on top of me, to stop me from shaking myself off the table.

1:09 am

rururocks

no.. but I think my allergies to nuts are getting worse

1:10 am

rururocks

wow GR. .you must be hypersensitive

1:10 am

grannyrose

ruru, is it all nuts? that you are aware of?

1:11 am

rururocks

mostly walnut, pecans, almonds and hazelnuts.. are the worst.. but now even cashews, and pistachio nuts affect me

1:11 am

grannyrose

egad, mate. you are so going to have to be ever so careful...

1:12 am

rururocks

that's the thing.. I was really careful.. they were hidden in a salad.. and after I told the server who said NOT A PROBLEM

1:13 am

rururocks

ER rooms are really expensive

1:13 am

grannyrose

oh for goodness sake!!!

1:14 am

puglet

can you make them pay Ru

1:15 am

rururocks

I wrote a note to the restaurant owner. Haven't heard anything.. mostly I hope she'll train people better

1:16 am

puglet

well thats good but I think they should help out there since you did ask

1:16 am

rururocks

i told the waiter I can't have nuts.. but i wanted a salad (it was hot out).. he said it wasn't a problem the kitchen can leave the nuts out.. but that's not what happened

1:18 am

puglet

probably cost too much to make them do right by you--but that sucks

1:18 am

rururocks

$800 + what my health insurance covers..for one hour.. probably the whole bill was a couple grand

1:19 am

puglet

geez Ru--that was one heck of a salad---sorry for ya

1:20 am

rururocks

lol.. the most expensive salad I ever tried to eat

1:20 am

puglet

you could of had gold flakes in it for all that-lol

1:21 am

rururocks

well it's better than dying at a restaurant.. what a way to go huh?

1:29 am

grannyrose

naughty ruru.

1:29 am

Lizlin

I don't blame you.

1:30 am

grannyrose

did you see the pictures of ballarat covered in snow?

1:30 am

Lizlin

Yes - hard to believe them! The only time I've been to Ballarat, it was a really hot January day.

1:31 am

grannyrose

liz, even in the middle of winter, it is usually balmy weather up there, during the day. of course, at night the temp gauge dips a lot more.

1:32 am

Lizlin

Weather's so strange. We've had frost, which I think is also unusual.

1:33 am

rururocks

i'm stuck.. damn

1:33 am

Lizlin

But I bet you're almost done!

1:34 am

rururocks

rururocks

1:35 am

rururocks

for all the players who have "monkeys' to help them

1:36 am

Lizlin

That's what I guessed. There's some babble language I find hard to use!

1:36 am

grannyrose

liz, we didn't have a frost this year. just lots of the wet stuff, and biting winds.

1:36 am

Lizlin

Still thinking of coming up to QLD sometime?

1:36 am

grannyrose

you bet!! liz....can't wait.

1:37 am

Lizlin

Looking forward to it :)

1:43 am

1:44 am

Lizlin

Sleep well, Ru and Congrats!

1:44 am

grannyrose

1:44 am

Your heart????????????????????????????

1:44 am

grannyrose

1:45 am

Lizlin

Oh Rose :( You look after yourself, please.

1:46 am

grannyrose

the acute phase has been well managed. now we are waiting for tests and an appointment with my cardiologist.

1:46 am

Lizlin

It seems never ending - you poor thing. How's your leg now?

1:46 am

grannyrose

it seems to tie in with the new BP med. doc is checking my renal function to make sure it isn't that.

1:47 am

Lizlin

He seems to be thorough then, checking things off the list.

1:47 am

grannyrose

well i have two ankles again for starters. or do you mean the knee which is fine and dandy.

1:48 am

Lizlin

No, I meant the ankles but glad about the knee.

1:48 am

Lizlin

Were the swollen ankles linked to the heart stuff?

1:49 am

grannyrose

just over 3 weeks and i see the new doc about the FM and central sensitivity syndrome.

1:49 am

grannyrose

liz, until we get all the results back, we won't know.

1:49 am

Lizlin

That's exciting. Hope he can suggest something to help.

1:49 am

Lizlin

I'll be patient then.

1:50 am

Lizlin

And try not to nag.

1:50 am

grannyrose

and i have an appointment with the lawyers next friday.

1:50 am

Lizlin

Now that will be interesting :)

1:51 am

Lizlin

Missing a j! Just looked at the list! Yikes! jn???? I'd love a clue for that pls.

1:51 am

grannyrose

yeah....when i rang up, i said i was on workcover, and that i felt things were about to turn nasty. they slotted me in ASAP.

1:51 am

Lizlin

That's really good news.

1:52 am

grannyrose

jn5, j + alternative word for grandmother

1:52 am

Lizlin

Thanks. We've had that before. I remember now.

1:52 am

Lizlin

Lizlin

3:38 am

sprite

3:38 am

Lizlin

Glad you got them OK - Rose you (and Pugs) should have them too.

3:38 am

3:39 am

sprite

3:39 am

Lizlin

How's life treating you, Sprite?

3:40 am

grannyrose

yes thanx liz. they are magic pics.

3:41 am

sprite

3:41 am

Lizlin

:) Watching the whales is the magic!

3:41 am

Lizlin

Yeuch! Feel better soon. Hugs

3:41 am

sprite

magic is the only word for it. Even on the pics, I can tell.

3:42 am

Lizlin

Feel so lucky to be able to see them.

3:42 am

sprite

well you deserve it, Liz

3:43 am

Lizlin

Was going to laugh - then realised I'd send myself to the PB!

3:43 am

sprite

*grins*

3:44 am

Lizlin

3:44 am

3:46 am

sprite

a quick halfway today

3:48 am

grannyrose

yes, sprite

3:48 am

sprite

glad to see you, rose... missed you yesterday

3:49 am

grannyrose

i was here very late. stuff sort of happened, and i didn't have time to play

3:49 am

sprite

bad stuff? I hope not?

3:50 am

grannyrose

not really bad, just things i had to sort out, and do. i was so tired and cold i could hardly move.

3:51 am

sprite

aw sweetie :( It so sucks when you feel like that and there is a lot you simply have to do.

3:51 am

grannyrose

i refused to get up and go to hydro. the weather has turned very cold. no frosts, but plenty of rain, hail and snow.

3:52 am

sprite

good for you. You be loyal to your body, that is the only way.

3:52 am

grannyrose

and the wind!!! i am sure it has come straight up from the south pole.

3:53 am

sprite

brrrrrr how positively rotten!

3:53 am

grannyrose

:-( i didn't even go out with my friend like we were supposed to do. she always brings her dog with her, and we have to sit outside to eat. and it was too b****y cold.

3:54 am

grannyrose

lolol, here i am bitching about the cold, when you live with it for over half the year.

3:54 am

sprite

aw darling. One of those days, huh... am sorry. Here's a big sprite *hug* for you and you alone. Holding you and knowing how very frustrating this is.

3:55 am

sprite

you go right ahead and bitch. More space outside than inside for such frustrations, lol.

3:57 am

grannyrose

so what's on your agenda for today?

3:59 am

When we were Girl Scouts we used a tuna fish can and packed it with cardboard covered with wax, put a wick in the middle, and that was our fire. Then we used a large coffe can, turned over for our cooking surface.

the Jehovah's have been active in my neighborhood, riding around in their white shirts and ties and on bikes

10:49 am

Jillyjill

Those sound more like Mormon missionaries ruru

10:50 am

rururocks

oh.. maybe that's it.. they tried to stop me on my walk last night with the dog

10:50 am

Jillyjill

They will all have black nametags as well. I live in a highly Mormon country

10:50 am

rururocks

I get a lot of missionaries around here for some reason in this part of town

10:51 am

rururocks

I saw the book of Mormon and you're right jilli.. they must have been Mormons.. I'm guessing my "Screw Romney" t-shirt didn't throw them off

10:52 am

Jillyjill

LOL....one time they made the mistake of knocking on my door, awakened me in middle of day when I was working graveyards. Not my finest moment...I opened the door, saw them and said "I'm Catholic g-damn it." and slammed the door

10:53 am

rururocks

I told these nice Christian ladies who knocked on my door .. i'm an atheist and I'm on the phone right now with God.. gotta go

10:58 am

Keep trying nonsense...to no avail...LOL

11:07 am

Jillyjill

fa6/7 a new compound word for me

11:10 am

rururocks

we've had it before jilly

11:10 am

MollyL

Yep

11:11 am

Jillyjill

Oh, it could be my memory, or lack thereof...LOL

11:12 am

rururocks

a lot of people said ennead was a new word to them.. but we've had it dozens of times .. not just you jilly :D

11:13 am

Jillyjill

I do know that one!

11:13 am

rururocks

hey molly..i'm going to a comedy show tonight

11:13 am

Jillyjill

What show?

11:13 am

rururocks

Lisa Lampenelli is out here.. I find her funny, but slightly abusive.. it will be interesting.. I need a few laughs

11:14 am

Jillyjill

will have to youtube her...but I don't really enjoy or need abusive after this week

11:15 am

rururocks

bad week?

11:15 am

rururocks

me too

11:17 am

Jillyjill

Yes. Our hospital has cramped down on budget. Working very short staffed in my department. Yesterday was on my feet for 8 hours straight with one bathroom break.

11:17 am

MollyL

Good for you Ru. Comedy shows often put things in perspective. : D

11:18 am

Jillyjill

Oh! Name that character from Johnny Quest!

11:19 am

MollyL

Well, Hadji, but no D here.

11:19 am

rururocks

that sounds pretty bad jilly

11:19 am

Jillyjill

well, close....going phonetically

11:20 am

MollyL

Careful, Name that...is supposed to be words that are not allowed.

11:20 am

Jillyjill

Didn't realize the rules...LOL...

11:21 am

rururocks

oh.. don't get me started on rules around here

11:21 am

Jillyjill

Always better to beg forgiveness than ask permission I say!

11:21 am

MollyL

Well if you answer in a word that is in the grid, you would be in PB violation. Although the PB is kind of empty and cobwebby these days.

11:22 am

MollyL

You vill follow ze rules and you vill LIKE THEM!!!

11:23 am

Jillyjill

Poor cabana boys... ;P

11:23 am

12:19 pm

Smdnjv

Hi everyone....Peri, do you know why Hurshy is not on any longer. I miss her and her odd sense of humor. She made me laugh!!

12:19 pm

periwinkle

I don't know for sure, I heard that another babbler had been harassing her.

12:19 pm

periwinkle

I miss her too.

12:22 pm

periwinkle

I found the fa6/7 and I do not remember ever seeing it here before.

12:22 pm

Smdnjv

I hate that. I think some took what she was saying wrong. I wish she were still here. I do not chat much since I had a stroke, but I still read while babbling.

12:28 pm

uusue2

hi all!

12:28 pm

sammysmom

i son t understqnd why anyone whould be mean to anyone elseon here............ have always felt good about ther folks on this site.......

12:29 pm

uusue2

me too, sammysmom, it always makes me sad when people here don't get along

12:32 pm

rururocks

I don't think it was a matter of "getting along" with Hurshy.. I think she was scared

12:33 pm

uusue2

that really is too bad :-(

12:34 pm

rururocks

and rightfully so in my opinion

12:34 pm

sammysmom

scared ru?... that someone might be able to find her and hurt her?? ???

12:34 pm

rururocks

stalked

12:34 pm

uusue2

I must have missed what went on

12:34 pm

rururocks

and not just her

12:35 pm

uusue2

somebody can stalk you online and do a lot of damage without a physical threat (I don't know if that's what was happening here)

12:35 pm

sammysmom

i find that terrifying !!

12:36 pm

MollyL

No one "too what she was saying wrong". She was very specific and said she felt stalked.

12:37 pm

sammysmom

dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

12:38 pm

car.eeyore

The stalker is no longer here, correct?

12:38 pm

rururocks

the stalker is still here

12:39 pm

car.eeyore

Why didn't Dr. God ban him/her?

12:39 pm

sammysmom

and this is the only site that i have ever said anything about my life of family on line............ sometimes ya just has ta say hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

12:39 pm

sammysmom

can he do that?

12:39 pm

uusue2

yes, he can, sammysmom

12:39 pm

Deutsch

I remember when Hurshy joined Babble.

12:40 pm

rururocks

that is a really loaded question car.ee

12:41 pm

MollyL

Honestly, and sad to say, you should never "feel safe" anywhere on line.

12:41 pm

car.eeyore

Well it shouldn't be. Hurshy should be here and the other person not.

12:41 pm

rururocks

I agree.. but Dr. G doesn't

12:41 pm

MollyL

Unfortunately, what should happen and what does happen are two different things.

12:43 pm

MollyL

Also folks, please be careful on Facebook. People who are your "friends" can copy any of your posted pictures and email them to people that you might not want to see them.

12:43 pm

uusue2

I think it is good to assume that anything you put online is public

12:44 pm

MollyL

I do too Sue, but some people think that because they have "privacy" things set on Facebook, they are safe.

12:46 pm

uusue2

Having the privacy settings helps but, as you say, you still are counting on the people you share things with not to share them more widely. Kind of like real lift except it's a lot easier to do online.

12:47 pm

uusue2

real life, not real lift. I need better glasses.

12:48 pm

Smdnjv

Hurshy was a good person. The only family she talked about were her kitties. She mentioned each time she became an aunt....and the time she was having marital problems. She is a smart lady and I miss her "ding, ding, ding"

12:49 pm

uusue2

I agree, smdnjv.

12:50 pm

sammysmom

en 7/28 ??

12:51 pm

uusue2

agreement between nations, sammysmom

12:51 pm

Smdnjv

I think I remember her quoting the whole script of Pirates of the Carribean!!!

12:51 pm

Deutsch

She accused a young player of duplicity. After a few days of accusations, the youngster became scared and left Babble as did most of her adult friends. I don't know what really transpired.

12:53 pm

MollyL

Deutsch, I don't recall that but I will say that if Hursh said anything to someone about being duplicitous, she probably had a good reason for doing it.

12:54 pm

Deutsch

Perhaps.

12:55 pm

uusue2

fireworks!

12:55 pm

dan2bit

woo woo sue!

12:55 pm

MollyL

Duplicity has been a constant problem here. There is no check on how many times a person can register using different names.

12:56 pm

uusue2

Well, if you have different email addresses, it would be hard to keep track

12:56 pm

rururocks

not to mention multiple personalities :D

12:58 pm

dan2bit

firewords here too. tx River and all cluers. an6/18 was my last - an + anagram of bird home

12:58 pm

Smdnjv

I miss Nancy Boy also. I remember a conversation once that someone said that he really did not die but was using a different ID. I disagreed even tho I did not say so at the time. There could only be one "Nancy Boy".

12:58 pm

rururocks

oh boy

12:58 pm

MollyL

A chat forum that is moderated does not allow users with the same IP address to register with different email addresses. This forum is not moderated.

12:58 pm

MollyL

Smd, Nancy Boy was a hoax.

12:59 pm

rururocks

smdnjv.. I hate to tell you this.. but nancy boy was a fake

1:00 pm

Smdnjv

OMGoodness. How was that discovered. He was on here for years!!!! That must have been during the time I was recovering from a stroke.

1:00 pm

rururocks

Nancy Boy is like Elvis.. he didn't really die :D

1:01 pm

MollyL

There is a person (or persons, I tend to think it is a group) that regularly sign on here under fake names and work at duping people by befriending them. People fall for it all the time.

1:02 pm

Smdnjv

I loved that kid into adulthood and then death. I still have him as a friend on here. I have to be really stupid to be duped that long!!!!

1:03 pm

MollyL

No, you are not stupid, just kind. The person or people who get off on doing that sort of thing are pretty sick though.

1:06 pm

Smdnjv

I cried when someone on here told that he died from disease caught in Korea when he went back to register for service. And then the rant from a friend that he did not tell because he wanted to die in peace.

1:07 pm

rururocks

you were among many who fell for their games smd

1:08 pm

rururocks

lots of people were gullible

1:09 pm

rururocks

register for service? what?

1:09 pm

Smdnjv

I think that from now on, I will lurk and play and not get involved.

1:09 pm

rururocks

it was drama (fake) created that he was flying home to confront his parents about his gayness

1:11 pm

rururocks

I hate to admit I fell for it for a long while too

1:11 pm

Smdnjv

ruru.....it was told that he had to go back to his birth country...Korea....to register for service...like the army. I can't remember exactly how it was put.

1:12 pm

rururocks

nope.. that wasn't it

1:12 pm

MollyL

The story I heard about Nancy Boy, from Nancy Boy was that he was going to Korea to confront his parents about his sexuality. Again, it was all fake drama.

1:12 pm

rururocks

it was all about confronting his father and being "who he is" and gay.. blah blah blah

1:13 pm

rururocks

*puts on "Lurkers are boring" t-shirt*

1:13 pm

MollyL

These fake posters are big on drama.

1:14 pm

rururocks

gay drama

1:15 pm

MollyL

All kinds of drama.

1:15 pm

Smdnjv

I think I got my info from stidmama and stidgmere and featherbee, at the time. shortly after that I had a stroke and I guess I missed the unfolding drama.

1:15 pm

helensgirlkid

Not fair, Ru - lots of perfectly non-gay fake drama on the Web!

1:16 pm

rururocks

i'm just speaking about this group Helens.. not on the web

1:16 pm

MollyL

HGK has a point : D

1:16 pm

helensgirlkid

Ah - we just don't have enough fake drama to provide a good sample! Not that I want more . . .

1:17 pm

rururocks

these guys have a penchant for creating gay drama and bisexual drama and animal rescue drama

1:17 pm

MollyL

Well, for what it's worth, I think this group has gotten into non gay drama to throw people off. But fake drama is fake drama.

1:17 pm

helensgirlkid

Sick children drama? That's big on the Web.

1:18 pm

Hi Jan.

1:21 pm

Smdnjv

Please don't tell me Hurshy was drama?

1:21 pm

rururocks

no.. that was real

1:22 pm

Smdnjv

I remember also Lickety and MRP having stalker trouble but that was "real world."

1:23 pm

chiley

I guess I've been lurking too long. Is Hazel still here?

1:24 pm

Smdnjv

I think it was real world but now I am not sure of that either. I have been told that Lickety and Mrp have split.

1:24 pm

chiley

Am I reading correctly that Hurshy is gone?

1:25 pm

Smdnjv

gone from Babble..chiley

1:25 pm

chiley

And Hazel too?

1:26 pm

rururocks

haz is protesting.. but still plays and lurks

1:27 pm

rururocks

hurshy doesn't play babble any longer

1:28 pm

chiley

Sorry to hear that. i just never got involved in the ongoing feuds or drama.

1:29 pm

Smdnjv

the last time I saw Hurshy on Babble was back about the end of February.

1:29 pm

rururocks

I don't know about feuds..I think it is a personal decision on her part

1:30 pm

rururocks

that's about right smd.. somewhere around then

1:36 pm

lgg

Why is haz protesting?

1:38 pm

1:45 pm

no, and they did exceptionally well -- mind you their workshop ran from 9am - 4pm each day.

1:45 pm

even so there were a lot of talented kids on that stage.

it's ok, crossy....

2:35 pm

Trifioso

Im slogging away at nbt here

2:36 pm

crosshair

I find I do better if I have some other mental task to bounce back and forth with

2:37 pm

Trifioso

I was trying to pay a bill on line, but the company website is heinous, so it didn't go through.

2:37 pm

crosshair

so i keep babble up on a split screen with my novel on the other side. Works pretty well:)

2:37 pm

crosshair

ugh@ internet bill payments

2:38 pm

Trifioso

seriously. I am WAY behind on this one too, and it's only partly my fault, I swear! I tried to go to their office and pay it - turns out their "office address" was a post office. Tried to pay it on line - no go. They don't accept personal checks, and I am d_mned if I am going to pay for a money order because their web site blows

2:39 pm

Trifioso

so NOW I have to wait until monday to call them

2:40 pm

crosshair

that is terrible set up for payments

2:40 pm

crosshair

hope it is a bona fide business. their payment set-up sounds shady

2:41 pm

Trifioso

the whole thing makes me want to scream

2:41 pm

Trifioso

I am trying to pay the bill. I swear, they go out of their way to make it harder!

2:42 pm

crosshair

My nemisis is Rogers. They are one of the triad of monopolistic Isp/cable/phone providers here in our area

2:43 pm

Trifioso

I just feel so slimy now - It's my fault I got behind, and I own that. But the way they make you feel if you do! like I am the worst scum on the earth

2:43 pm

crosshair

they would be equivilant to your AT&T by the sounds of things

2:43 pm

crosshair

I know it trif.

2:44 pm

Enomis65

good afternoon!

2:44 pm

crosshair

we have one more year on our smart phone contract, then I think we are going back to pay-as-you go phones..less headache

2:44 pm

Trifioso

hello enomis

2:44 pm

crosshair

howdy enomis

2:44 pm

Enomis65

Ha Tri - stuck in Rogersland - i sympathize

2:44 pm

Trifioso

not with rogers actually, but similar approach, I guess

2:44 pm

Enomis65

hey cross - you're done? Congrats!

2:45 pm

crosshair

Is it not horrid, enomis? I swear i must of been three kinds of stupid to get these phones on a 3 year contract

2:45 pm

Enomis65

poor you, and of course, they are closed on weekends...

2:45 pm

crosshair

no, not done the grid yet

2:46 pm

crosshair

and If you mean the book, I have once more fallen into the writers trap of editing in sections before the end has been written

2:46 pm

Enomis65

yes Cross, I was there but with Bell - never looked back when I left hat contract behind

2:46 pm

Enomis65

oh oh you're supposed to finish before editing ( and yes I meant the book :)

2:47 pm

crosshair

I am bad:(

2:47 pm

crosshair

but the entire section 2 is done:) leaves the last part then a nice or catastrophic finish

2:47 pm

Trifioso

count for lower right e please, for the love of god?

2:47 pm

Enomis65

I guess it,s normal cross

2:48 pm

crosshair

en 7/28

2:48 pm

Trifioso

thank you crossy

2:49 pm

crosshair

may just kill everyone off in the book for all the grief they have given me:)) mwahaha

2:49 pm

Enomis65

well, that's one option! however not very nice for your readers...

2:49 pm

Enomis65

they should all get married - you know an Harlequin kind of ending... lol

2:49 pm

crosshair

rule # 42: Put your protagonist(s) through 15 shades of living hell

2:50 pm

Enomis65

way better...

2:50 pm

crosshair

an anti-hero is always nice as well;)

2:50 pm

Boobear

Hi all

2:50 pm

crosshair

howdy boobear

2:51 pm

Enomis65

hey boobear

2:51 pm

Trifioso

hello boo bear

2:52 pm

Enomis65

cross, you should have a female anti-hero and she should save the planet at the end! (oh no wait, that's the script for 24...)

2:52 pm

crosshair

lol. Not a sci-fi, but I will keep it in mind for the next book:)

2:52 pm

Enomis65

(((((bowing))))) pleased to help! :)

2:53 pm

Enomis65

I think I am going to stick to the grid and leave the writing to you!

2:53 pm

crosshair

With the U.S.A set to import ebola patients, I may do a spin on that and wipe out a few states;)

2:54 pm

Enomis65

ouch...

2:54 pm

crosshair

means a lot of research though:(

2:54 pm

Enomis65

I'm telling you, harlequin books are up go something...

2:55 pm

crosshair

so, many of those things around, both our used book stores keep a bin outside full of them and give them away

2:55 pm

Enomis65

perfect for reading in the bath though

2:56 pm

crosshair

good for the composter as well:)

2:56 pm

Enomis65

yep

2:56 pm

Trifioso

boy meets girl, boy and girl fall in love. girl gets boy into pickle. boy gets girl out of pickle. boy gets pickle into girl.

2:56 pm

Enomis65

especially if they are dropped in the bath...

2:57 pm

crosshair

:) not my type of reading

2:57 pm

Enomis65

tri you should not tell the ending of the book :)

2:57 pm

crosshair

bodice rippers;)

2:57 pm

Trifioso

that is also the plot of every romantic comedy and musical ever, according to my college prof :)

2:57 pm

Enomis65

me neither, I get frustrated at the writing and end up throwing the book across the room

2:58 pm

Enomis65

or in the bath, depends

2:58 pm

crosshair

sadlu, unless something changes, my heroine is going to die a totally unexpected and tragic death and it will be slow

2:58 pm

Trifioso

guess who is feeling VERY smug, as she just found the 9 all by herself?

2:58 pm

Enomis65

go tri!!!

2:58 pm

crosshair

yaaa for trif!

2:58 pm

Enomis65

she could drown while reading in the bath...

3:08 pm

crosshair

do not use Lickety much myself. however, it has been a while since I have gotten myself down to 20 words :)

3:09 pm

Enomis65

could not finish a grid without Lickety

3:09 pm

Enomis65

but not using as much because Lickety pro doesn't work on a Mac

3:10 pm

Enomis65

which means that i often not finish

3:10 pm

crosshair

I have never owned a mac. I like digging into the entrails of my pc tower and those all-in-one macs are not built for that:(

3:12 pm

Enomis65

and I switched to mac because I was tired of digging into the entrails of my PC!

3:12 pm

crosshair

Macs are pretty things though and the displays are superlative

3:12 pm

crosshair

lol, enomis

3:13 pm

Enomis65

yes I like the simplicity of them and the feel of the keyboards

3:14 pm

crosshair

See them all the time in the medical profession. seems like every office i go into has a Mac all-in-one on the desk with a 30 inch display:)

3:14 pm

crosshair

lots of eye appeal

3:14 pm

Enomis65

really neat to watch movies... don't know if they're better for the medical world...

3:15 pm

Enomis65

yes and simple to use

3:15 pm

crosshair

they seem to prefer them

3:15 pm

crosshair

yes, i am sure they excell for multi-media applications

3:16 pm

Enomis65

did you find the bottom right e?

3:16 pm

crosshair

but blow a fan or have a stick of memory go and you have to ship the entire thing off. A fan goes in mine, i open up the side, pull out the fan, take it to store, get another 5 dollar fan and go home and put it in, all for 8 dollars

Its a pretty good crowd for a Saturday, as the regular crowd shuffles in (Well, Soodle shuffles in, anyway...)

3:46 pm

Soodle

For anybody 10 years older/younger than me... that was a line from a Billy Joel song.....

3:48 pm

Soodle

Soodle shuffles uncomfortably around the chog. Shifts from one foot to the other, and calls for another drink. Tries to look inconspicuous

3:48 pm

Thanks the Lord that Jaxx arrives!!! Hey Jaxx!

How is your weekend going, Jaxx?

Dang it...I knew the song, but didn't catch that! Piano Man....woohoo!

3:50 pm

sing us a song you're the piano man...

3:51 pm

jaxx7

I have had an awful experience - I have received a copy of the photo my friend took yesterday. We were in a cafe and the resident cat sat on my lap. I was stroking it when Debs took the pic. Aah! you can't see the cat so I look as if ia asleep. Ihad treble chins and looked like a man. lol

3:51 pm

Soodle

Ding Ding Ding Champ & Econ!!!

3:51 pm

Enomis65

poor jaxx

3:53 pm

Soodle

Ah, Story of my life in pictures, Jaxx. More chins than a Chinese Telephone Directory! (I always wanted to use that joke and never got a chance.. chi-ching)!!

3:53 pm

jaxx7

Now I know why I usually avoid having my pic taken. I shall shortly be arrested for murder of my BF.

3:55 pm

jaxx7

Otherwise, my weekend is going well.

3:56 pm

Soodle

It has rained here today non stop. Roads are flooded, I put my central heating on this evening, I have had my house lights on since about 4.00 today. HELLOOO. It's August 2nd!

3:57 pm

jaxx7

hasn't this been a strange year for weather?

3:59 pm

Soodle

I just had a SnapChat from my youngest, who works part time in a hotel, to pay her way through College. A Ladies lavatory, absolutely destroyed with human waste. And some horrible witch decided that it was ok for her to leave the facilities like that for another person to clean up. Shaking my head in despair.

4:01 pm

jaxx7

Some folk are just animals. I am so sorry that your daughter had to see this

4:01 pm

ChampFit

Unbelievable!

4:04 pm

Soodle

Me too, Jaxx. It outrages me that people can expect other people to clean up hideous messes. My girl is 19 and was brought up reasonably well. To think that somebody thinks that it's OK for her to clean up their excrement infuriates and excorsises me. Rant over.

4:04 pm

ChrissieDee

How gross Soodle. My kids did crappy jobs to pay their way through college and uni too. I sympathise. It's not what we want for them.

4:04 pm

jaxx7

I think the rant is justified.

4:05 pm

jaxx7

jest

4:05 pm

jaxx7

That it definitely wasn't. Free word as usual

4:06 pm

ChrissieDee

You never disappoint jaxx :)

4:06 pm

Soodle

LOL, and Hi Chrissie :-)

4:06 pm

jaxx7

It has become my trade mark! lol

4:07 pm

ChrissieDee

Hi Soodle, jaxx, champ

4:09 pm

jaxx7

Hi, chrissie

4:10 pm

Soodle

Chrissie, my older girl did the same hotel job as Suzie. Now she is some sort of scientific guru(which her poor old elderly mother does not understand) and she is in a position which does not require her to clean up human excrement. Which is a plus, all things considered.

4:13 pm

Soodle

By the way.. can I help anybody with clues?

4:13 pm

ChrissieDee

It's just a means to an end . Same with my kids and I'm sure your youngest has an equally bright future ahead of her.

4:14 pm

ChrissieDee

Still, there's no excuse for someone leaving the facilities in such an appalling condition!

4:15 pm

Soodle

Of course it is, Chrissie. Sometimes it's just tricky to see the wood for the trees! But, everything will be all right in the end. If it's not all right, its not the end!

4:15 pm

jaxx7

My granddaughter has got herself a job as a waitress. Tonight she was half an hour past her leaving time because no-one had cleared up the outside tables. She had gone from 5.15 to 9.45 without a drink. She was thirsty and thought that she would be walking home but dear grandad had gone for her and waited.

4:16 pm

ChrissieDee

God bless grandad

4:16 pm

jaxx7

What a foul woman that was. May she get her just desserts

4:16 pm

hello friends. I love that saying Soodle. It gets me through a lot of disgusting stuff

4:17 pm

Yay for Grandads!

Hi, bugs. Long time no talk

4:17 pm

Soodle

Was Grandad Nigel?

4:18 pm

Indeed. he is the only one she has.

4:18 pm

Bugsaw

I have been quite quiet lately.I still love you all and wish you all well.

4:18 pm

Soodle

Lol Bugs. Sometimes, 'sayings' can get you through difficult times.

4:18 pm

jaxx7

Great to have you back.

4:19 pm

Soodle

Bugs... I was thinking I hadn't seen you recently. Its lovely to see you again ((()))

4:20 pm

I like the quote in you bio Bugs. Just shared it with hubby

4:20 pm

Bugsaw

I have been busy with family and volunteering in my community. I am active in a terrific group but just added another job.

4:21 pm

Soodle

My battery is on it's last legs. I will say goodnight before it expires. Night all and thanks for the company. ((()))

4:22 pm

Thanks Chrissie. It is there to remind myself more than to preach to others but it is a good one. I love little mantras that can be recited to sideswipe panic.

6:45 pm

I am doing ok bugs, and you?

6:46 pm

Bugsaw

slow but steady. same as always

6:47 pm

Bugsaw

do you have the second part of your novel up yet?

6:47 pm

crosshair

wins the race they say:)

6:47 pm

crosshair

not yet. but I am just about finished it. two more days should see it done

6:48 pm

Bugsaw

It is holding my inerest so keep those pages coming.

6:48 pm

crosshair

I am, however undecided on if I should put the second part up on authonomy or wait untill part three and the conclusion are finished as well

6:49 pm

Bugsaw

I am no use. I like to read the whole thing in one go. It helps my failing memory. :)

6:49 pm

crosshair

actually what you read IS part two. I actually went back in time and did part one secondly> I will then add on to what you have read already. that is actually the easy part

6:50 pm

Bugsaw

well, whatever you decide. Just remember your Babble fans are waiting to cheer you on.

6:50 pm

crosshair

what is on my screen now and almost finished is an extended prologue of sorts and I think it will add much depth to the overall tale

6:51 pm

crosshair

That is well. I need all the good wishes I can get

6:52 pm

Hi Minveryork. I just finished and should get back to house cleaning. It is not my favourite job.

for chuckles I will also run the completed manuscript through a "Hemingway" app just to see what comes out the other end:)

7:04 pm

stidgmere

Hello just getting started and letting the tomato/chicken sauce simmer. I don't know how to spell catchatori. I also don't know how to make it but this is inspired by the more complicated dish.

7:07 pm

crosshair

howdy stidmere

7:07 pm

crosshair

I am sure it will turn out fine.:)

7:08 pm

stidgmere

I crossy. It smells good so I think we've got a good start. Thing is to let the chieken cook completely. I wish I had a good dessert but that is not going to happen this evening!

7:09 pm

crosshair

Sometime the big Chefs make it more complex than it needs to be as it adds a touch of panache and showmanship. Sometimes it is useful to cut through the glitter.

7:10 pm

crosshair

I have the best recipe for a baked apple desert but you need two punds of your fav apples, a pack of golden cake mix and a tube of crescent roll dough

7:10 pm

crosshair

pound

7:10 pm

stidgmere

This evening it will be glitterless. We've had some weeks of pretty warm weather and I just seem to loose any ounce of stifftening I usually have!

7:11 pm

stidgmere

Your dessert sounds very nice but I lack 3 out of 3 ingredients. I have heard of appleless apple pie but this would be more minimal than my chicken sauce!

7:12 pm

crosshair

mm,lacking 3 out of 3.. :(

7:12 pm

crosshair

must feed the kitties brb

7:15 pm

stidgmere

Murphy had his kibbles, gravy, meat juice, and yogurt for dinner. Just a cup of kibbles twice a day.

7:18 pm

crosshair

back. it is amazing, stidmere. You line a lasagne oven dish with one tube of crescent roll dough, then peel, core, and cut 2 pounds of apples into segments and lay in the dish, then sprinkle 3/4 of the pack of golden cake mix overtop, shaking the dish to get the powder into the crevies , then pour 1/4 pound of butter on top, add 1 tsp cinnamon and 1 tbs of brown sugar and bake at 350f till edges of dough are brown

7:18 pm

crosshair

crevices

7:18 pm

stidgmere

What a lovely dessert, crossy!

7:19 pm

stidgmere

I just thought crevies was Canadian for crevasses!

7:19 pm

crosshair

It is truly tasty

7:19 pm

and quick to mak. it almost turns into a apple crescent roll cobbler

7:20 pm

During the Fall harvest you can almost smell the apple presses in action as they make our very own local hard cider in a little town called Thornbury, just 15 minutes up the road from me.:)

Hello stidgmere!How are you doing today?Welcome to grid

7:45 pm

stidgmere

Hi minver, I'm doing just fine. Summer is wonderful and the fruit is ripening and the grass growing. We are very much appreciating the season.

7:48 pm

crosshair

We are loving our summer this year. it is perpetual early summer with nights of 9-15c and daytime highs of 15-20 c. Some call it the summer that never was, but I am quite content. I do not need to roast to have a summer.

As I continue with my novel, I find that the way it develops and grows to be almost as interesting as the book itself. (I know you are all probably bored to tears hearing about) but I had been playing with ti all day and doing not much by editing and adding a few words here and taking away the odd word there, so not a whole lot was happening until one hour ago, I get this gigantic flash of inspiration. Actually it is not a flash, and it does not creep up on me but entire chunks of the story suddenly appear in my mind as a whole. So, in the last hour alone, I have added the staggering amount of 6500 words! I Am quite chuffed with myself;))

9:33 pm

flosey
