3:58 am
sprite

how is Don doing lately? Feeling good?
3:59 am
grannyrose

at the moment, yes. we...note the we....are filling out the paperwork for his shoulder surgery. * sigh * what is it about men? they don't recall their own surgical/medical history.
4:00 am
sprite

they are manly men. They don't want to remember their weak moments ;)
4:00 am
grannyrose

aha...is that so?
4:01 am
sprite

if you realise our systems are still wired as if men go out to hunt and women protect the homestead, it makes sense. Can't go hunt if you remember every pain and illness.

okay...chicken kievs, cordon bleu. oh, my, so delish.
4:24 am
grannyrose

how you doing now, sprite?
4:25 am
sprite

wow, you inhaled that!
4:26 am
grannyrose

*giggle* old habits die hard...
4:26 am
sprite

I just finished my coffee. It is kinda fighting inside with my meds, lol. But Rob just said he is willing to drive me to amsterdam, so I think I will go.
4:27 am
grannyrose

oh, good for rob. how soon do you leave?
4:27 am
sprite

oh not for a while. It is half past 11 in the morning here now. Appt is at 2 pm. Two more hours before we leave.
4:28 am
grannyrose

so does rob have the day off?
4:29 am
sprite

only self-inflicted jobs, lol. He wants to work on a paddle. And cook.
4:30 am
grannyrose

*giggle* give the man a gold st4...
4:31 am
grannyrose

keep meaning to ask you...what is rob's line of work?
4:31 am
sprite

oh yea. Every day. A friend of mine stayed for dinner on Friday and we discussed relationships... she has a background of abuse, esp. emotionally, and tends to find men who continue the pattern. So we discussed the warning signs, and also how great men and partners behave. They behave like mine! And like yours :)
4:33 am
sprite

Rob's job is to help ppl with an unemployment benefit to become ready for a regular job. Especially in the construction market. It ranges from arranging education to learning basic employee skills. Like getting up in the morning, using an alarm clock etc.
4:33 am
grannyrose

i know....and if it weren't for the incredible counselling i received after my first marriage, i am guessing i would have 'walked' straight into an identical relationship.
4:34 am
sprite

oh yeah, rose. My first long relationship was with an alcoholic who abused me emotionally and mentally. His girlfriends before and after me, he abused physically as well. I don't get cookie points for that choice either!
4:35 am
sprite

The people Rob helps range from young school dropouts to ex-drugs addicts to ex-cons.
4:36 am
sprite

though I award myself cookie points for the fact he didn't dare abuse me physically... I must have send out at least one strong and clear signal, even back then.
4:39 am
sprite

oh, new babble dictionary word, rose: presib - brother or sister born earlier than you
4:44 am

4:57 am

5:03 am

5:03 am

oh dear. For crying out loud, just when you think you have found something that works... Yeah, will have it checked out.
5:05 am

how is zooz this fine morning? Tis a bracing minus 5c here this morn and the snow looks like it is going to stay around for a bit now.
5:28 am
zoozzoom

Tipping down with rain here, Crossy.Still mild :-)
5:28 am
zoozzoom

I am well thanks. Carboot was canceled as of the weather :-(
5:29 am

Hope you are well?
5:29 am

I am fine as is the mrs. and the offspring:)
5:30 am
zoozzoom

That is good to hear!
5:30 am
crosshair

Carboot, I am guessing is something like a mobile flea-market out of the boot of your car?
5:30 am
zoozzoom

Correct..Although they just take it out of the boot/trunk and place items onto a table..lol
5:31 am
crosshair

We move all that sort of thing inside now till Spring:)
5:32 am
zoozzoom

Yes this would of been the last one now untill spring time. So no more car-boot sales for us now untill next year :-(
5:32 am
crosshair

As for myself, after being in the same place now for 21 years, my entire lodging is one great big carboot!. I have no need to add to it!
5:33 am
crosshair

I console myself by calling it "eclectic" in decoration;)
5:33 am
zoozzoom

Even though most of it is crap.We still enjoy going around it all.On the off chance we might find somethng of a bargain.
5:34 am
zoozzoom

LOL as long as you are happy with it, Crossy.Plus it is what makes your house a home :-)
5:34 am

My place is full of 'bargains". Tornado could go through here and do $20,000 dollars worth of improvements;)
5:34 am

5:35 am

I have some lovely bookcases I have collected over the years and they are bursting at the seams, so all is fine as far as the rest of it goes. My books are the heart and soul of my living space
5:36 am

lol, ruru
5:36 am
crosshair

That and my oil lamp and inkwell collection. sets it all off quite nicely
5:37 am
zoozzoom

I reall do need another bookcase. So many books starting to stack on top of each other and looking a bit like they are going to fall over.But I have not much room for another bookcae :-(
5:37 am
zoozzoom

oil lamp coleection..interesting!
5:44 am
crosshair

yes, i have about a dozen of them, not reall high priced ones, but ones that can be used at need
5:45 am
zoozzoom

Sounds okay to me, Crossy.at least they can serve a purpose.
5:47 am
zoozzoom

My parent s had a couple of them when i was living at home.But do not know what happened to them, as I do not re-collect seeing them when I go round.Will have to ask them what they did with them.
5:51 am
zoozzoom

Do you ever go whale watching, Crossy? Would love to go and see that.
5:52 am
Lizlin

Hi all :)
5:52 am
zoozzoom

Hello, Liz :-)
5:53 am
zoozzoom

How are you?
5:53 am
Lizlin

Zooz - you need to get over here to go whale watching. We go every week in our winter (June - Oct)
5:53 am
Lizlin

Very well thanks but very hot - how about you?
5:53 am
zoozzoom

I bet it is an awesome site to behold, Liz!
5:54 am
zoozzoom

Not too bad thank you :-) Still mild here although tipping down with rain
5:54 am
Lizlin

Truly awesome - I never get sick of the sight of the whales - but it's always best when they're feeling active rather than just swimming along.
5:54 am
zoozzoom

Damn forgot the fullstop.
5:55 am
Lizlin

We need rain - the ground is very dry and brown. Heatwave this weekend - temps in the mid 30sC
5:55 am
Lizlin

Also forgot full stop!
5:56 am
zoozzoom

I do hope there is no bush fires this year for your country, Liz.
5:56 am
Lizlin

Me too - though there've already been reports of fires in the Blue Mountains, ne4 Sydney.
5:57 am
Lizlin

It always angers me so much that some people deliberately set fires and others are just thoughtless.
5:58 am
zoozzoom

When it is a natural one that is bad enough.It is when it is human made that I do not understand those ones.
5:58 am
zoozzoom

Oh Snap, Liz!
5:58 am
Lizlin

Great minds .... :) It puts so many lives at risk.
5:59 am
crosshair

I am in central Ontario, zooz. Whale routes are a long ways off for me, sadly
5:59 am
crosshair

We have blue mountains here as well, liz:)
6:00 am
zoozzoom

Agreed. If the person caught doing these things has property.The punishment should be they have to set fire to their hous and let them watch it burn down.As they love fires so much.
6:00 am
Lizlin

We saw whales last year from Vancouver Island and from Juneau on our amazing holiday. I know that's not close to you, crossy.
6:00 am
zoozzoom

Ahh Okay, Crossy.I bet you have been to a few though no?
6:00 am
crosshair

Wish it was. Would love to see the whales.
6:01 am
Lizlin

Blue mountains are supposed to be beautiful - hope to get there some time in the not too distant future. There's so much of Australia that I haven't seen - in fact most of it!
6:01 am
zoozzoom

Same here, Crossy.
6:01 am
Lizlin

I hope that you both get the opportunity some time :)
6:01 am
zoozzoom

It is a very L-A-R-GE place, Liz :-)
6:02 am
Lizlin

Very true - it's funny though, kids of friends on their gap years, come here and see more of the place than I've seen - and I've been here 6 years now!
6:02 am
zoozzoom

I saw a dolphin once and I was so excited, I was like a little kid in a candy shop..lol
6:03 am
Lizlin

Love dolphins too - we often see them when we're whale watching. But I'd love to go swimming with them one day.
6:03 am
zoozzoom

Yeah but you have a job, Liz, That stops you doing a lot of travling around.
6:04 am

6:05 am

*giggle* zooz. on our trip to tasmania, we went on a boat ride into the southern ocean. dolphins everywhere much to my delight.
6:06 am
Lizlin

Same here, zooz - in fact it was only when I moved here, I realised what a nature lover I am!
6:06 am
Lizlin

That's a place I want to visit - Tasmania, I mean.
6:06 am

Wow i bet that was amazing to see that.Did you have a video camera with you to record it?

7:03 am
rubyfoo

9pm is late for us old folks
7:03 am
pippingeek

yes but i just turned 40, I
7:03 am
pippingeek

i'm still a young fry!
7:03 am

forgive me for putting my big nose in, pip
7:04 am
pippingeek

no, i don't mind at all, it's nice to have folks who look out for you
7:04 am
rubyfoo

I stated to hit my peak at 40 and it kept getting better for 7 years!
7:04 am
pippingeek

and this was the last of my 5 birthday festivities, so now i can relax
7:04 am
MollyL

Ruby, I didn't see you yesterday, but you were in the grid, so here is a tiara for your itty bitty head.
7:04 am
pippingeek

we did a late brunch, then dessert, then i had a single cocktail, and then we sang karaoke
7:05 am
rubyfoo

does caffeine help the migraines? Is used to get them from birth control pills and at that time, all they prescribed was ergot
7:05 am
MollyL

A single cocktail? Wow, what a party girl : D
7:05 am
rubyfoo

I was in the grid? And I missed it? Fie on me
7:06 am
pippingeek

times have changed, molly. when more than one cocktail means two days of migraines, it's just not worth it anymore unless they are amazing
7:06 am
MollyL

Well, your alter ego, Naughty Nell
7:06 am
rubyfoo

I think there are all kinds of new meds for migraines -- tripto something?
7:07 am
pippingeek

caffeine doesn't really help enough. i think i just need to get out of my job with the crazy doc, hence the need to rock my interviews so I can move to Chicago
7:07 am
rubyfoo

uh oh
7:07 am
mattygroves

Is the UP word obvious - am I just being my usual blind self?
7:07 am
MollyL

Blech, if I had to deal with no alcohol because of migraines I think I'd start smoking pot.
7:08 am
pippingeek

I take triptans, but you can only take them 1-2 times per week, and then I take a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor as a preventative, but it has some crazy side effects and i'm still kind of touch and go on it
7:08 am
rubyfoo

sounds like a plan, molly. Is pot good for migraines?
7:08 am
pippingeek

and I can't smoke because that gives me a headache half the time and i'm likely to be tested for school in the near future so it's not worth the risk
7:08 am
MollyL

up + not front
7:09 am
MollyL

*Blesses self and thanks God for good health*

7:09 am
mattygroves

Thanks Molly!
7:09 am
pippingeek

actually there's some reputable research that says that psychedelics (even at a sub-high dose) can stop the migraine cycle for like a good year or more) so I'm game for that but it's a question of getting some
7:10 am
pippingeek

don't exactly run in those circles anymore
7:11 am

There was a smart woman named Molly, Whose postings were often quite jolly, We bless her good health, And wish her great wealth, And even in stealth, say by golly

7:40 am
suefrad625

i feel bad if i eat two melba toasts

7:40 am
suefrad625

7:41 am
suefrad625

i would agree molly, but i am getting 10oz of meat a day, 4 servings of carbs and a lot of vegies
7:41 am
suefrad625

it seems here in the US we eat a lot more then most
7:42 am
MollyL

No, I meant it is not healthy to feel bad if you eat two melba toasts
7:42 am
suefrad625

oh
7:43 am
pippingeek

on the other hand it is healthy to feel bad if you eat too much cake. but i will fix it by eating some veggie hummus and balancing my taste buds again
7:43 am
suefrad625

i am a habitual eater. I just dont stop. I think it is still from smoking at such a young age. even though i quite 18yrs ago
7:43 am

I'm glad you're happy with your weight loss. I am not a big fan of the HCG diet
7:44 am
suefrad625

me either now molly.
7:45 am
suefrad625

i forgot to take it yesterday and i saw a slight difference in my hunger. maybe the 100% hormone free HCG drops arent doing much
7:45 am
suefrad625

or, maybe the taste is so bad it stops me from wanting to eat for a bit after. either way, onward and downward

hi, folks!
8:38 pm
lilliann

There's days where i'm up chatting here at 5 am, but not lately
8:38 pm
lilliann

Hi Welki
8:38 pm
dianedecoder

I've seen you mention Durham, Newcastle, etc. Is that where you live... in that area ?
8:39 pm
dianedecoder

Hiya welki !! :-)
8:39 pm
lilliann

That's the problem Diane, with my problems i can sleep too much sadly and miss alot of the day
8:39 pm
lilliann

Yes.We live just outside Durham City
8:40 pm
Minveryork

Hello welki!How are you doing today? Welcome to the grid
8:40 pm
welki

hi, min - nice to 'see' you :)
8:41 pm
dianedecoder

My paternal grandma was from Durham.... I still have relatives in Darlington, Red Marshall, etc. Grandma was born in a little village called Bishopton, which is still "little" and much unchanged.
8:41 pm
lilliann

Diane, What did you bake today? Anything we can eat, i'm peckish :)
8:41 pm
dianedecoder

Hello, Minveryork :-)
8:42 pm
Minveryork

Nice to see you here too.Been here off and on all day long
8:42 pm
lilliann

Hi MIn
8:42 pm
dianedecoder

I baked a date cake, with drizzled orange juice over the top.
8:43 pm
lilliann

Diane, have you been here then to visit
8:43 pm
lilliann

That sounds lovely, i'll have a slice with my cuppa :)
8:43 pm
Minveryork

Hello lilliann! How are you doing? Nice to see you here too
8:44 pm
lilliann

Not too bad thanks Min.How are you doing?
8:44 pm
dianedecoder

No, and I probably never will. :-( Granddad was from Yorkshire, and I'd have liked to visit there as well.
8:46 pm
welki

<-- spent about an hour driving around the roundabout in York. thought i'd never get out, was ready to call out for sandwiches
8:46 pm
dianedecoder

:-) You mean they don't have a sandwich kiosk?!!
8:47 pm
lilliann

I know Darlington and i've heard of Bishopton but i don't know Red Marshall.That's a shame.Have your relatives ever visited you Diane?
8:49 pm
welki

was such a wreck by the time i finally made it out of the circle, that i found a pub - the owner, a nice guy, shared his single malt with me. the name of the whiskey? sheep dip *lol* but it was wonderful
8:49 pm
lilliann

I went to York with the bairn in the Summer but on the train as it is alot easier.I couldn't drive around it, it's a one way confusing system, so i'm not surprised you drove around in a circle Welki
8:49 pm
dianedecoder

I've met a second cousin who is one year younger than I am. We correspond and it's amazing that we are much alike, in looks and in interests, yet never meeting each other until our late 50's.
8:51 pm
dianedecoder

As long as there was no wool in it, welki, you'd be fine!
8:52 pm
lilliann

My husband drives around there in his coach, i don't know how he does it,i'd get bored after 5 minutes with all the traffic lights for cars and pedestrians.It's stop start!
8:53 pm
lilliann

Welki, i bet you had no trouble driving around York after the sheep dip :)
8:54 pm
lilliann

It's lovely that you can can get on so well Diane, just sad that you both live so far
8:55 pm
dianedecoder

Yes it is, lil because family and ancestors mean a lot to me.
8:56 pm
welki

i didn't drive after that, lil - was lucky to have someone else who drove
8:56 pm
dianedecoder

Grandma and Granddad never did get back....people didn't travel in those days ( 1908- ish ) like they do now.
8:56 pm
lilliann

I was going to say that i didn't think you'd be able to walk after that welki :) Did you stay in York?
8:58 pm
dianedecoder

After my dad died, my mom got really brave and went to England ( as a tribute to him ) and met and visited all of his relatives. She had a wonderful 3 weeks in England )
8:58 pm
Minveryork

I am doing well lilliann! Not looking forward to wintry mix
8:59 pm
welki

home base was a friend's house in dunstable - travelled all over and spent nights in bed/breakfasts wherever there were market days
8:59 pm
lilliann

I do have family in canada, but i'm not sure where.My mam was supposed to be on the ship that got bombed on it's way to Canada in ww2, but my nan took her off at the last minute
9:00 pm
lilliann

That's brilliant Diane
9:01 pm
lilliann

Where did she go Diane?
9:01 pm
lilliann

Dunstable, that's in Kent isn't it?
9:02 pm
dianedecoder

It was a big trip for my mom, who'd never gone anywhere by herself. She went to Durham...stayed mostly in Darlington. They did many little day trips which she just loved. They even drove down to where my granddad was born, in Yorkshire.
9:03 pm
welki

bedfordshire, lil - it's near luton
9:03 pm
welki

(and there's a magic roundabout there, too)
9:04 pm
lilliann

There's also a Dunstable in Kent as i've been there when i lived in Kent
9:06 pm
lilliann

I think it's Hemel Hemptead where they have the big rounda bout which has about 7 little ones off if it...I'll need to look it up but i've been around it and it's awful!
9:06 pm
dianedecoder

Fireworks.... and I'm off to watch some hockey. They seem to play better when I'm watching! :-) Thanks for the nice visit.
9:06 pm
welki

'night, diane
9:07 pm
lilliann

That sounds great, i'm glad she had such a good time and got to meet family Diane
9:07 pm
welki

we have roundabouts here, now - they take some getting used to, but seem to keep traffic moving (so long as the folks in them know how to maneuver around them)
9:07 pm
lilliann

Night Diane.Enjoy your hockey and sweet dreams and take care
9:07 pm
dianedecoder

Good night, welki, lilliann.... enjoy the game :-)
9:09 pm
lilliann

We've had them here for years and some people still can't drive around them properly.Some of them can be pains.It depends on how many lanes of traffic are coming onto each roundabout.When they have traffic lights they can be better
9:11 pm
welki

i don't think ours will have traffic lights - they put them in our neighborhoods to get rid of the traffic lights. for the most part, there are two lanes around them - just getting people familiar with who has the right of way is the hard part (even though it's in the drivers' manual we're supposed to read before our road tests)
9:13 pm
welki

maybe there should be a guy at the entrances who hands out shots of sheep dip to all who enter the roundabout :D
9:13 pm
lilliann

You always have to give way to the people on the right..well here anyway.It's only our large roundabouts and some in Cities and large towns that have traffic lights and some of those only come on when there is alot of traffic, as in rush hour traffic
9:14 pm
lilliann

Aye, we'd probably all drive better around them :)
9:15 pm
welki

here, we drive on the other side of the road - right of way in roundabouts is given to the car on the left, the car on the inside of the roundabout
9:15 pm
welki

(theoretically, anyway - doesn't always work)
9:16 pm
lilliann

We have two laned raoundabouts aswell and it doesn't matter which lane they are in, we have to give way if they are coming towards us
9:17 pm
Minveryork

I heard that round-a-bouts are safer than traffic lights. Do not know if it is true or not. We have a few here in the U.S
9:17 pm
lilliann

As long as it's not to our left, then it would be like bumper cars :(
9:18 pm
welki

pssst -- i drove the wrong way down oxford street during rush hour, when it was a taxi only street
9:19 pm
lilliann

I prefer traffic lights as on a round-a-bout you just have to go for it but traffic lights are safer.yopu have to stop, but saying that there are plenty of drivers who go red lights
9:19 pm
lilliann

Omg Welki and you're still here?
9:20 pm
lilliann

Luckily it was only taxis
9:21 pm
welki

most of them were pretty good natured about it. one guided me through traffic so i could get back to where i was supposed to be. (between shifting with my left hand, all the traffic rules and driving on the other side of the road, it's no wonder i ended up all kerfuffled)
9:23 pm
lilliann

Some round-a-bouts are more dangerous than anything and shouldn't be there.We have a round-a-bout in our city which has traffic lights which is fine but going to one of the lights we have bus lanes and the cars aren't allowed in them obviously but there isn't much lane left for a car to get into before the lights.the cars want to be in the lanes of the buses and the buses want to be in the outer lanes where the cars are.It wasn't designed very well at all
9:24 pm
lilliann

You needed more sheep dip :)
9:24 pm
welki

rush hour lanes and vehicle restricted lanes cause lots of problems here, too
9:25 pm
Minveryork

Do U guys have HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle) lanes there?
9:25 pm
welki

ha! yes, sheep dip, the cure for all that ails you
9:25 pm
welki

yes
9:25 pm
lilliann

It must have been hard driving on the opposite of the road and on the opposite side of a car so hats off to you Welki
9:25 pm
lilliann

No Min
9:26 pm
lilliann

We have bus lanes
9:26 pm
welki

once the initial weirdness wears off, it's not so bad - but it sure is disorienting at first
9:26 pm
Minveryork

Is it true that Japan has no speed limits and they have the least amount of accidents? Speed limits are a joke in U.S.
9:27 pm
lilliann

I've driven in France but in an English car and that's bad enough
9:27 pm
Minveryork

Nobody follows speed limits&they aren't enforced enough.
9:27 pm
lilliann

I don't know Min, i've never been
9:28 pm
lilliann

I think alot of them use the trains as they have a very good rail service
9:28 pm
welki

just googled tokyo speed limit -
The typical speed limits are 80 to 100 km/h on expressways, 40 km/h in urban areas, 30 km/h in side streets and 50 to 60 km/h elsewhere; however, drivers tend to go a little over the posted speed limits.
9:28 pm
lilliann

Or is that China, i'm thinking about?Not sure
9:29 pm
Minveryork

Welki,you beat me to it!Was about to post the same thing.
9:29 pm
lilliann

Drivers do tend to go over the speed limit in any country
9:29 pm
welki

:D
9:30 pm
welki

then i'm glad i just didn't blurt out the information, as if i knew the answer ;)
9:30 pm
jwr

I lived in Japan for seven years. It is quite true, both about the speed limits and over 90% use of the superb public transit. There are also vending machines selling alcoholic beverages along the roadway. However, . . .
9:30 pm
Minveryork

Hello jwr! How are you doing today? Welcome to the chog
9:31 pm
lilliann

Hi Jwr and thanks for telling us.I'm not so sure about the alcoholic vending machines though...do they get used?
9:31 pm
lilliann

Did you live there for work Jwr?
9:32 pm
Minveryork

Does that mean it is legal to drink and drive in Japan jwr?
9:32 pm
jwr

However! There are many rules to follow; penalties for breaking them are severe. (Also Japanese go through a much stricter government-run driver training than anywhere else). Many checkpoints, especially at night. If you are caught with ANY alcohol content - License gone, big fine, possible jail term. More
9:33 pm
Minveryork

This was posted September 19, 2007
9:33 pm
Minveryork

Starting Wednesday, Japan’s tough new traffic laws go into effect, making jail time of up to three years a possible punishment for driving after drinking as little as one beer
9:34 pm
lilliann

So no MIn and i wouldn't think the machines get used much either
9:34 pm
welki

(then i wonder what the purpose of those vending machines is - sounds like subtle entrapment)
9:35 pm
lilliann

Unless you're walking and buy one but by the sounds of it you could get arrested for drinking and walking
9:35 pm
welki

nah, not subtle entrapment - must be a better term, but i think you understand what i mean
9:35 pm
lilliann

It does sound odd to sell alcohol in vending machines on the side of the road
9:36 pm
jwr

There is a speed limit, especially for residential areas (very very slow, the latter) but it depends on the safety observed in the driver -- passing, stopping, etc. If you are caught in the slightest form of what might be perceived as reckless driving: License gone (forever), big fine - if you caused an accident: automatic jail term.
9:36 pm
lilliann

Blimey, they are strict!
9:36 pm
welki

i wonder what the penalty is for distracted driving
9:36 pm
Minveryork

Think that's how it should be here in the United States too
9:37 pm
Minveryork

People get away with drinking&driving way too often here
9:37 pm
lilliann

I wonder if i could be done for speeding on my mobilty scooter
9:37 pm
jwr

Welki, lillian, all - All Japanese, at least all born in Japan, are burdened with numerous responsibilities from the day they are morn. Many of these are social responsibilities. It wouldn't work in any other culture I know of, definitely not in the US where people think only of rights and never of responsibilities (unless forced to).
9:38 pm
welki

scooting under the influence
9:38 pm
jwr

not morn, born
9:39 pm
welki

where do you live now, jwr?
9:39 pm
lilliann

Aye, i suppose, it's natural to them
9:39 pm
lilliann

Lol Welki
9:39 pm
jwr

The vending machines for practically everything (including casual clothing) are available everywhere. You may want to take a bottle of beer home with you, right? So you stop and buy. It would never occur to the driver to drink it.
9:40 pm
lilliann

Even clothing? wow
9:41 pm
lilliann

But why the machines when they have shops?
9:41 pm
Minveryork

How can you buy clothes from a vending machine without trying it on first? I never buy any clothing without trying it.
9:41 pm
Minveryork

Except for socks and underwear
9:41 pm
lilliann

Saying that shops have closing times
9:41 pm
welki

(i ask because i think that your comment, "definitely not in the US where people think only of rights and never of responsibilities (unless forced to)," paints americans with too broad of a brush. american born, i can tell you that social responsibility is not as uncommon as you might think in the states.
9:41 pm
Minveryork

I bet U pay alot more for the convenience of the machines
9:42 pm
jwr

Me? Last 35 years in the city of the US which also has a strong sense of social responsibility to balance its freedoms, as well as a strong Asian makeup.
9:42 pm
lilliann

I'm like you Min, i have to try on first
9:43 pm
Minveryork

However, I HATE shopping for clothes so I really do not buy clothes for myself. Wait for someone to buy clothes for me
9:43 pm
jwr

No, you pay what you would in a low-cost store. You have to remember that in most cases one size would do in Japan.
9:43 pm
lilliann

I don't live in the U.S, so i don't have a clue Jwr
9:43 pm
welki

<-- hates shopping.
9:44 pm
lilliann

I hate shopping too.I'm in and out so a machine would do me
9:44 pm
jwr

Again, a size situation that wouldn't work elsewhere. -- (Lil - San Francisco).
9:45 pm
Minveryork

I would much rather go to work than go shopping, any day
9:45 pm
welki

me, too, min
9:45 pm
lilliann

I've always wanted to go there Jwr.I want to drive down all teh hills :)
9:45 pm
welki

(too, many, commas, sorry, about, that)
9:46 pm
Minveryork

Once I got out of jury duty early and I went back to work.I was told that I was crazy for going back to work instead of going shopping for the rest of the day.
9:46 pm
lilliann

Right, i'm diving in as i'm giving myself 15 minutes to get 63 words...nevr going to happen but i can try
9:47 pm
jwr

You would enjoy shopping in Japan, Min. And a lot of other things. The problem is that it is incredibly expensive for foreigners.
9:47 pm
welki

g'night everyone - thanks for the chat, was a nice evening
9:47 pm
Minveryork

I got a story of clues in my profile if you wa 4/8 to read it.
9:47 pm
lilliann

Night Welki, lovely chatting, take care hin and sleep well
9:48 pm
jwr

Come along, Lil - Just don't use a standard shift car, especially if you're from a different-side-of-the-road country.
9:48 pm
lilliann

Ty Min, will do
9:48 pm
Minveryork

Goodbye welki!I will see you tomorrow in the chog maybe.
9:49 pm
jwr

And yes, I lived and worked there and loved every minute of it. Gotta leave myself, get ready for work (overnight job). Babble on, folks!
9:50 pm
lilliann

Lovely speaking to you Jwr, you'll have to tell us more another time.Bye and take care
9:51 pm
Minveryork

Goodnight jwr!I will see you tomorrow in the chog maybe.
9:52 pm
lilliann

Ty Min, i got a few words from your story
9:52 pm
Minveryork

I agree.. Americans are painted with very broad strokes..
10:39 pm
Minveryork

Hello rururocks!How are you doing today? Welcome to grid
10:40 pm
rururocks

hi minver.. I'm doing great.. nice day for me.. how are you.. and is your hubby better?
10:43 pm
Minveryork

Better from his Pancreatitis? Yes,he has been back at work for awhile now. Thanks for asking.Glad you had a nice day
10:44 pm
rururocks

he needs to take better care of himself.. that's a pretty threatening condition
10:44 pm
rururocks

and drink lots of liquids (especially water)
10:50 pm
rururocks

<---dr. Ru
10:53 pm
Minveryork

He does drink lots of water. Unfortunately he also drinks a lot of beer too. Like talking to a brick wall when it comes to his health. Some people just must learn the hard way.
10:53 pm
rururocks

oh jeez
10:53 pm
rururocks

alcohol is not a good idea with pancreatitis
10:54 pm
rururocks

anything that dehydrates the body is really bad for him
10:56 pm
Minveryork

Well, he thinks since he drinks lots of water he is hydrated
10:56 pm
rururocks

wow.. he really is in denial
10:57 pm
Minveryork

I told him to not expect me at his bed side during his next hospital visit. Anyway, on that note, I must go to bed. Bye!
10:57 pm
rururocks

does he eat a lot of fatty foods too? let me know if I'm being too personal..if so I'm sorry
10:57 pm
Minveryork

He he eats lots of fatty foods, but has cut down quite a bit
10:58 pm
rururocks

wow.. he's a walking time bomb.. i'm sorry minver.. men can be so stupid sometimes
10:59 pm
rururocks

you sleep well.. Thanks for letting me know he came out ok
10:59 pm
Minveryork

Goodnight to my fellow babblers! I will see you tomorrow.

rururocks

hey hi doren
11:01 pm
rururocks

you are up late
11:03 pm
Dorens

had a long day... started this puppy very late. silly me
11:03 pm
rururocks

oh.. too bad ..it's a biggy.. you need minions
11:04 pm
Dorens

no, i didn't just start now... came on about an hour or two ago but doing other things in between. down to 46
11:05 pm
Dorens

i get my grandkids next weekend.. super excited... taking them to a jazz for kids concert at Jazz at Lincoln Center (in the building that houses Per Se)
11:06 pm
Dorens

big question now is do we go to the Plaza for tea at the Palm Court afterwards, or just go to Bouchon (which is in the building). i think it depends on the weather
11:07 pm
rururocks

the sensible thing sounds like Bouchon is the best option
11:08 pm
Dorens

yes it does... but having read Eloise to Phoebe a year or so ago and promising that one day we would have tea at the palm court (and having LOVED that book so much as a kid) and having nice memories of being there with my kids and dad many years ago............
11:11 pm
rururocks

well.. do the palm court then.. can you do it before?
11:13 pm
Dorens

hmm. it is such excess of food - you know. the full cream tea thing? that I think it needs to be afterward.
i just think i can't make up my mind right now. I'm in a weird space.... bad exacerbation of the COPD thing today and it is screwing with my head
11:13 pm
rururocks

COPD?
11:14 pm
Dorens

yeah. i like to pretend i don't really have it, but then crap like this comes up. and there's no way to pretend today
11:15 pm
rururocks

I don't know what it is?
11:15 pm
Dorens

chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder? disease? i don't know. Chronic bronchitis.
11:16 pm
rururocks

ooh.. I didn't know that
11:16 pm
rururocks

I just thought you were breathless with my witty remarks
11:16 pm
Dorens

well, it doesn't fit in with my self-image, so i tend to deny it except when i can't
11:17 pm
rururocks

yeah.. well lots of things about me don't fit my self-image.. get over yerself
11:18 pm
rururocks

need help with anything yet?
11:18 pm
Dorens

had nice long date today starting with breakfast at farm where my CSA boxes come from (had never been there), moving onto the movie Interstellar (which i really liked) then a two hour hamburger at a diner. Punctuated by wheezing coughing fits which were most unattractive. Now have had my codeine and waiting for it all to stop. which it won't for about six weeks
11:19 pm
rururocks

I have had a cough too.. on-going.. especially when I talk on the phone
11:19 pm
Dorens

so I'm indulging in a little self-pity. I'll get over it
11:19 pm
Dorens

nah, not yet.. 34 left
11:19 pm
rururocks

ok.. i'm popping in and out .. going to fire off some emails
11:21 pm
Dorens

ty. i prob will need you
11:25 pm
jacq

could the phone cough be because you are unconsciously holding your breath?
11:27 pm
rururocks

I don't know..
11:27 pm
rururocks

it's seems to come and go with allergies
11:28 pm
jacq

rhinitus? not sure if i spelt it right lol
11:29 pm
Dorens

my coughing happens more when i speak too. but i don't know what that means
11:29 pm
Dorens

en8 please?
11:29 pm
rururocks

en + the end of feeling great >> I feel fan...
11:30 pm
Dorens

thanks
11:30 pm
rururocks

<direct cluing is acceptable at this time of night
11:30 pm
rururocks

:D
11:30 pm
jacq

my mother in law had a cough for months and months, it got worse when she spoke, after chest xrays and everything else she saw a physiotherapist who specialised in chests etc and he eventually told her she was subconsciously holding her breath
11:30 pm
Dorens

what constitutes direct cluing?
11:31 pm
Dorens

that's interesting jacq
11:31 pm
jacq

it isn't night here it's 5:31 am
11:31 pm
rururocks

I think I'm more likely to have rhinoitis .. since I'm horny a lot :D
11:31 pm
jacq

LOL ruru
11:31 pm
rururocks

beats me .. I like to do cute clues
11:31 pm
Dorens

<----not even thinking of touching that one
11:32 pm
jacq

best not to dorens
11:32 pm
rururocks

LOL good idea.. leave it .. keep moving on folks.. nothing to look at here
11:32 pm
rururocks

I couldn't pass up on that joke
11:33 pm
Dorens

course not.
down to 14
11:34 pm
Dorens

and nearly half of them are in's
11:34 pm
jacq

i feel squint this morning
11:34 pm
Dorens

? squint is what i do with my eyes when I can't quite see
11:34 pm
rururocks

the in's are really normal words
11:35 pm
rururocks

what does squint mean?
11:35 pm
jacq

no squint also means leaning slightly
11:35 pm
rururocks

oh
11:35 pm
jacq

i feel as if i am leaning
11:35 pm
Dorens

ah, but i am in such an abnormal mood
11:35 pm
rururocks

like vertigo?
11:35 pm
Dorens

are you sitting down?
11:35 pm
rururocks

should I be?
11:36 pm
jacq

no i'm not dizzy just squint
11:36 pm
jacq

11:36 pm
Dorens

11:37 pm
rururocks

11:37 pm
jacq

no am ok but just squint, maybe see the doc today anyway
11:37 pm
rururocks

good idea
11:37 pm
rururocks

that sounds odd
11:38 pm
