you're up late

12:20 am

VolleymomDee

12:22 am

rururocks

yes.. we accepted one and a nice back up offer too

12:22 am

rururocks

12:22 am

VolleymomDee

Fantastic!! Congratulations!

12:22 am

rururocks

they are paying cash for the house

12:23 am

VolleymomDee

Even better!

12:23 am

rururocks

ot

12:23 am

rururocks

oh ..it is really a great offer. .for a little over the asking price.. they weren't fooling around

12:24 am

VolleymomDee

You must be relieved :)

12:24 am

rururocks

my wine cellar is going to become a fur closet though :D

12:24 am

rururocks

they don't drink

12:25 am

VolleymomDee

LOL... that is a real waste!

12:25 am

VolleymomDee

wr 7

12:25 am

rururocks

no kidding

12:25 am

rururocks

it's a really cool cellar

12:26 am

VolleymomDee

But, as long as they are happy, that is all that matters.

12:26 am

rururocks

from wine to politically incorrect clothing

12:28 am

jwr

what kind of furs, ru?

12:28 am

rururocks

I was afraid to ask

12:29 am

rururocks

she's a bazillionair

12:29 am

jwr

oh, well. Cash is cash.

12:29 am

rururocks

I guess.. kind of creeped me out a bit

12:30 am

jwr

Where will the wine go now

12:30 am

rururocks

to my cellar at my new house

12:31 am

jwr

Wonder if the people you bought from are teetotalers --

12:31 am

rururocks

sounds like it.. it's a shame.. it's one of the best things about the house

12:32 am

jwr

Just teasing. All is good if you're satisfied. Moving can be fun. Unpacking, though . . . . ugh.

12:33 am

rururocks

yes. that's the worst part I guess

12:35 am

jwr

Parents used to tell a story about a woman in Tennessee they stayed with during the War (WWII, The War, right?). She gave away all her wine and stocked the cellar with hundreds of cans of rationed food.

12:35 am

jwr

Flood came along and removed all the labels. The whole town cheered.

12:36 am

rururocks

there's a lesson in that gluttony I guess

12:37 am

jwr

Two lessons: I think the wine was supposed to have been very very good.

12:38 am

jwr

I'm off to walk the quiet streets in the neighborhood. Filled with about 100,000 tourists yesterday. Still some random bangs going off - it's chinatown around the corner

12:39 am

rururocks

oh.. I bet

12:39 am

rururocks

i'm in the city tomorrow all day

12:40 am

jwr

Have a good babble. And a smooth move. And a remunerative, if foggy, Monday ru. See ya.

1:23 am

1:25 am

mrpresident

(((dcs))) was just thinking about you! great to see you here also

1:25 am

dcseain

evening, flo and cosmo.

1:26 am

mrpresident

oh the 9 is a pretty combo

1:26 am

flosey

hi seain don't see you too often either - time difference I presume

1:26 am

dcseain

part that, and part i only in the last few days have i been meaningfully engaging in the chog again.

1:27 am

dcseain

it's been like a homecoming week here thus far, which has been very lovely to see. So many old and new faces :)

1:27 am

mrpresident

yes, after following a thread on FB, have decided to come back myself to be part of the babble family and friends :)

1:27 am

mrpresident

it has been a lovely couple of grids and chats too

1:28 am

dcseain

that was such a very useful conversation there, agreed, mrp.

1:28 am

flosey

glad to hear it mrp - we've missed you

1:29 am

dcseain

thanks for the wa8 -- a verboten word in my industry in most contexts along with 'guar****.

1:30 am

mrpresident

I've missed you all too

1:39 am

rururocks

Why have you avoided the chat dc?

1:43 am

rururocks

Did i ask a verbotten question?

1:43 am

mrpresident

a lot of us have ruru

1:44 am

rururocks

Ok.. i will bite ...why?

1:46 am

mrpresident

I wasn't baiting you hunny.
I personally was tired of the bullying.
Other people have reasons why, that differ to mine, but essentially they don't want to chat either during ceertain convos

1:47 am

rururocks

Ok. That is their choice then..

1:48 am

sprite

good morning all

1:48 am

mrpresident

grannyrose

* giggles * aussie slang mrp

1:56 am

Lizlin

Good thanks - whale watching cancelled for tomorrow though :(

1:56 am

sprite

that is a good thing, ro4. Never wait with resting till you have to... small spans of action with rest in between is the ticket, grin.

1:56 am

Lizlin

Glad you're feeling good ro 4

1:56 am

grannyrose

liz, is it getting any warmer up th5?

1:57 am

sprite

aw why is that, Liz? The weather?

1:57 am

Lizlin

No - marathon here this weekend - loads of tourists. Full boat so they phoned and asked if we'd mind giving it a miss.

1:57 am

Lizlin

Not a problem.

1:58 am

Lizlin

It's in the low 20s by day but down to about 8 / 9 at night.

1:58 am

sprite

yeah, not much fun with a full boat anyway.

1:58 am

Lizlin

True - that was the problem last week and why I didn't get any good shots.

1:58 am

Lizlin

Still we're so spoiled going so often.

1:58 am

sprite

ks killed

1:59 am

grannyrose

liz, that's about the same he4. at night anyway.

1:59 am

Lizlin

Step son said it was really cold in Melbourne this weekend ( I think)

2:00 am

Lizlin

It's lovely in the sun by day - cold in the shade though.

2:00 am

grannyrose

oh yeah. especially at 9am sunday when we were sitting outside watching football game.

2:01 am

Lizlin

Not envious of you doing that - but I bet you enjoyed it - just watching Deacon :)

2:01 am

Lizlin

Sprite - hope all goes really well for you today.

2:01 am

grannyrose

i just adore watching deacon play. he has the most gorgeous pair of legs, muscles well developed.

2:01 am

sprite

I'd better be off, brush my teeth and get me something to eat for after the bloodwork. *hugs* and sleep well, you aussies, and have a good day for the rest.

2:02 am

sprite

thanks Liz :)

2:02 am

Lizlin

Now now - he's a bit young to be ogling his legs!

2:02 am

Lizlin

You have a good day too.

2:02 am

grannyrose

* giggling * th5 we4 a couple of episodes of a ball of arms and legs. one time deacon was the one on the bottom of the heap.

2:03 am

Lizlin

He was OK though?

2:03 am

grannyrose

good luck sprite. hope all goes well with no hitches today. xoxox

2:03 am

grannyrose

oh yes, he was fine. granny wasn't though.

2:03 am

grannyrose

son and hubby had to hold me back from running onto the oval.

2:04 am

Lizlin

I bet you weren't - til you saw him get up and start running again. Time for a post-gym snack - glad to have caught up with you. Perhaps catch you later. Hugs Rose and Sprite.

2:04 am

grannyrose

later lizgirl. ttfn

zoozzoom

Hello to anyone here. I have the eight lettered word.Is the nine lettered word related to the eight at all?

5:05 am

Frances

Hello zoom. No, the nine is sh9/84.

5:05 am

zoozzoom

Ah okay thank you, Frances!

5:13 am

zoozzoom

Found the SH 9/84.Thank you once again, Frances.Alas I am also in the PB for OK 4/10 tsk.

5:18 am

Frances

Thank zoom. I'd completely missed the ok4/10.

5:19 am

zoozzoom

Oh haha in that case you are most welcome :-)

5:20 am

MollyL

The Penalty Box is well stocked, as is the bar in there. I think that ok word will snag a lot of people today.

5:23 am

zoozzoom

hehe yes I think you are right there, Molly.Still it is nice and comfy in the PB.Will settle down and munch on a few snacks before any more babblers arrive in here :-)

5:25 am

MollyL

Of course, since most people tend to abbreviate these days, I could be wrong. In which case, all the more for you, Zoom.

5:26 am

zoozzoom

I am used to being on my own so no worries there..lol

5:30 am

MollyL

Well Zoom, as Paulo Coehlo says...Solitude is not the absence of company, but the moment when our soul is free to speak to us and help us decide what to do with our life.

5:31 am

sukee

good morning all.

5:32 am

MollyL

Good morning Sukee

5:33 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Sukee :-)

5:35 am

sukee

How is everyone today?

5:35 am

MollyL

My lips are above the water level
: D

5:35 am

sukee

Well, that is always good.

5:36 am

zoozzoom

All well here, Sukee.How about yourself?

5:36 am

sukee

So so, still missing my kitty but getting used to it.

5:38 am

zoozzoom

understandable as it was not that long ago.No thoughts on a new little friend then?

5:39 am

sukee

I'm giving myself about a month. I do find myself thinking I want another one :)

5:41 am

sukee

Since I live alone it would be nice to have another cat to hug and talk to :)

5:43 am

sukee

On another point, I cleaned up some stuff and found what I think is mould. Have to get the super to check it out.

5:44 am

zoozzoom

Mould is not good.I would most certainly get it sorted.

5:45 am

zoozzoom

I think you already know you would like another cat, Sukee.Why wait a month :-)

5:46 am

sukee

I want to get the apartment cleaned up, get rid of other cat smells and I have some furniture to get rid of.

5:47 am

sukee

Besides, I have to wait until the end of the month to afford a new cat. I'm due for an interest payment on my pension.

5:47 am

zoozzoom

Sounds like a plan all coming together :-)

5:48 am

sukee

I haven't been without a cat in my life for over 35 years, other than about a two month gab. I think the odds are I will have another one.

5:48 am

MollyL

I think it's good that you are waiting until you are comfortable to get another pet. You will know when the time is right.

5:48 am

sukee

gap

5:49 am

sukee

There are some sweet rescue cats out there and they let you know exactly what type of home the cat needs.

5:49 am

zoozzoom

Where is the mould, Sukee. Is it like a bathroom mould or more serious do you think?

5:54 am

sukee

It is just off the kitchen where I had some flooding when the sink backed up and the water vacuum they left behind overflowed.

5:54 am

sukee

It's just one corner.

5:57 am

sukee

Hoping it's easily treated.

5:58 am

zoozzoom

Does not sound to bad at all.Should be treated easily enough.

5:58 am

sukee

I had a pile of cardboard boxes piled up there, ones the cat had chewed on. Threw them all out yesterday and discovered this.

6:00 am

sukee

Well, I have to get ready to go out to the gym.

6:01 am

zoozzoom

I should think pleanty of ventilation would be enough to get rid of the damp. Once it is given a good clean.Have a good day, Sukee :-)

6:01 am

sukee

Take care :)

6:03 am

zoozzoom

Plenty*

6:15 am

MollyL

I like the combination of plenty and lean. It's like wishing you had plenty when things are lean.

It's much hotter here, will probably be around 35 this afternoon

6:21 am

MollyL

It's hard to have to wait for news like that. Candle lit Ruby

6:21 am

zoozzoom

A bit of time to wait then.Is, Burt, still in hospital?

6:22 am

zoozzoom

Sounds like my type of heat, Ruby!

6:23 am

bichon

35 is bout 90 or 95?

6:23 am

rubyfoo

Burt was only in hospital for one night but now |I'm making arrangements for 2-days/week adult day care

rubyfoo

Anniebrook

hi Scrabbs

8:27 am

mrpresident

good to see you too trif :)

8:27 am

Trifioso

scrabbler!!! boy, do I wish you were here right now....I need help with a student, hooooo boy!

8:27 am

mrpresident

oh what is the student doing trif?

8:28 am

Scrabbler

Aw, what is the problem, Trif?

8:28 am

Trifioso

not coming to school. Ever. Hasn't attended one day since november. Supposed to have come to summer school today - no show. Parents are saying he has PANDAS, but have yet to show one piece of documentation supporting that. Poor kid....crippling anxiety problems, for which the parents have done NOTHING - no therapy, no meds.

8:29 am

Anniebrook

So very sad.

8:29 am

mrpresident

oh the poor kid

8:30 am

Scrabbler

Poor kid needs to learn coping strategies. And to not be avoidant.

8:30 am

crosshair

Reading up on that now. terrible thing, but it seems quite treatable with the proper medication and intervention

8:32 am

mrpresident

all the K's are done! yay!

8:34 am

Scrabbler

Anyone following the Tour de France?

8:37 am

Trifioso

just got a text from the mom - they arent sending him to summer school, want a home tutor. which the school doesn't want to provide, as these parents are a tricky ass business - basically, this is what they have wanted all along. They want their kids to be home schooled, and they want the school to provide teachers for them, at no cost. Well, sorry, but that isnt' how public school works.

8:39 am

Scrabbler

They are enabling their son to be paralyzed by his anxiety.

8:43 am

Trifioso

100% scrabbler. it's easier for them to keep him at home, and have someone come to the house. And that's fine, but it's not with in the public school realm to send a private tutor to the home of every kid who doesn't feel like coming to school. i mean, I dont' mean to sound unsympathetic, but this is, i think, their third kid they have tried this on. They are a tricky, tricky family

8:44 am

Anniebrook

Did the city provide a tutor for the other 2 kids?

8:46 am

Trifioso

dont' know, it was before my time. All i know is that this kid had to be dragged out of the car every day for Kindergarten, was home schooled 5th and 6th grade, attended 7th grade and got all A's, stopped coming to 8th grade in November, and the parents claim he was diagnosed with PANDAS in January and are acting like that explains everything, and a 21 day course of antibiotics is all that he needed to be "cured" - I am so done with them.

8:47 am

Trifioso

clearly their son has a crippling anxiety disorder, which could be managed with the right meds and talk therapy. neither of which they have ever pursued. And now the mom is blowing up my phone with messages, claiming she has a "right" to have me come to their home - which is completely not my decision to make.

8:48 am

Anniebrook

I feel sorry for the child. How will he cope when he is no longer in the school system remains to be seen. He needs help.

8:48 am

welki

'morning folks

8:48 am

Trifioso

jeesh. you need a license to catch a fish, as they say....

8:48 am

Trifioso

good morning welki

8:49 am

MimiCat

It is a very tricky situation. My middle child had to go to school and always hated it. He was a bit traumatized by his experience there and I wish I had chosen a different route for him. Though it is not good to allow him to avoid that experience entirely, it is understandable that they want to spare him the trauma. However, these parents do seem a bit overwhelmed and not able to make good decisions. Unfortunately, there aren't any good, solid, pat answers to this problem. I feel very sorry for the entire family and hope they'll find a good counselor who can guide them through these decisions and how to deal with all this.

8:49 am

Scrabbler

We see this happen. Parents that do not act as parents, rather, they are their child's friend.

8:49 am

crosshair

((mimi))

8:50 am

crosshair

howdy, welki

8:50 am

welki

i feel sorry for trif, too - parents can be the worst thing about teaching

8:50 am

Trifioso

mimi, you are totally preaching to the choir. I was BADLY bullied in sixth grade, and seventh and eighth grade were sheer hell. But my mom advocated for me, got me an excellent counselor, and we worked with the school guidance counselors as well. There are solutions, but the parent need to step up.

8:50 am

Scrabbler

Children need to be prepared for adulthood and must learn to adapt regardless of their personality.

8:50 am

MimiCat

((crossy)) Was up at 4 and made the mistake of watching Pearl Harbor again...cried uncontrollably for nearly an hour but know it wasn't just because of the movie.

8:51 am

Trifioso

thanks welki. Not to sound like a complete shrew, but I am pissed about the money. I didn't find another summer gig, as I had this one, and now, if I don't, I am going to end up WAY short.

8:51 am

crosshair

Not all tears are evil, some are cleansing.

8:51 am

MimiCat

I'm sorry that happened to you Trif...but I'm so glad you had good help.

8:52 am

MimiCat

You're right, crossy...I've been avoiding emotion like the plaque. However, as someone once said, they may be cathartic but are not necessarily healing.

8:53 am

Trifioso

(((((soft gentle hug for mimi...)))))

8:54 am

welki

how about a compromise? is there a school-sanctioned neutral place you could meet? like a library?

8:54 am

Scrabbler

((Mimi))

8:54 am

MimiCat

Thanks, Trif....appreciate it.

8:54 am

MimiCat

((Scrabbler))

8:54 am

welki

would keep the kid 'in school,' and you in a job

8:54 am

Trifioso

that was offered, the parents turned it down flat. They want what they want, and that's it and that's all. again - tricky

8:54 am

welki

blech.

8:55 am

MimiCat

Has anyone else noticed that all the wrong people seem to be reproducing?! I know I'm cynical.

8:55 am

Trifioso

this mom is driving me nuts. She is so obviously trying to trip me up, trick me into saying I will come to the house. I dont' need to get in trouble with the admin, thanks very much

8:56 am

crosshair

I would most definately stay within the school board guidelines in dealing with this bunch. They seem to have an ulterior motive planned.

8:57 am

MimiCat

Parents often do not realize it is their job to raise their children to LEAVE them. They need to provide the emotional support and the skills to make their children independent.

8:57 am

crosshair

Sadly, they are doing so at their child's expense:(

8:57 am

Trifioso

hahah mimi - we said that in reverse this weekend. Some man in Texas purposely jumped in to water that was posted "no swimming - alligators" and his friends tried to talk him out of it, but he said "f*** the alligators!" and jumped in anyway. It took about 10 seconds for the alligators to say "no, dude, F YOU" and he was dead in minutes. I would say that cleaned the gene pool some.

8:57 am

Scrabbler

Surrender the decision to management, Trif.

8:58 am

crosshair

Guess he is up for this years darwin award;)

8:58 am

Trifioso

Im sitting here at this desk until 12, as I was told to, and they are damn well going to pay me for it.

8:58 am

MollyL

Trif, so did the guy in Maine who set off a mortar firework on his head.

8:58 am

MimiCat

Let's say a collective "duh" on that one, Trif.

8:59 am

MimiCat

There was an idiot on the 4th setting off fireworks off and on for FIVE hours here in the parking lot where there are cars with gasoline!! I finally called the police as it is illegal to set off fireworks. However, Arizona totally makes no sense about its laws as they made it legal to BUY fireworks but still illegal to set them off....duh again.

I just got ey7:)

9:00 am

hego

Hey Mimi. How are you?

9:01 am

MimiCat

This guy periodically sets off a certain one that is so loud it makes me jump and my cats run and hide. Then he strategically goes and hides in his apt. fast so we can't figure out who he is. Been doing this for at least a year.

9:01 am

Trifioso

we went to plymouth harbor in Massachusetts to watch the fireworks. We parked somewhere for free, and at the house next to the parking lot this idiot dog was yapping it's fool head off. We had a blast of a night, and finally made it back to the car a good five hours later - dog was STILL BARKING.

9:01 am

MimiCat

Trying to heal, hego. Thanks for asking.

9:02 am

Good healing vibes out to Mimi.

9:04 am

I had dinner out with friends Saturday evening and left the town at 7:55. I knew there were fireworks planned so I avoided the main intersection, but then I got turned around because of the parade! It took me three tries (and 2 turn-arounds) to get out of that town.

9:08 am

MimiCat

Going to try to make some breakfast. You wouldn't believe what a challenge that is using a walker and then having to put the plate on the counter, move it to the baker's rack, then move it to the table by the couch where I can reach it. But I'm adapting as truly necessity is the mother of invention and I'm determined to stay independent.

9:09 am

been there, done that.

9:09 am

You should get a restaurant table bus cart , mimi:)

9:10 am

You can use it as a walker in the kitchen, plus it will hold all your brakfast fixins

9:10 am

Good for you to not be so anal. Some of us are still struggling with letting it go when we travel.

3 week road trip, hego. Chaco Canyon and Abluqueuque in NM, then Fayetteville and Devil's Den in Arkansas, then Devil's Tower in Wyoming. And many many places in between! Great fun!

I agree. It's awful!

They don't capture them anymore but they can't release the ones that they already have. They have lost too many survival skills.

Now when a one gets separated from its pod (quite rare) people try to make sure that it stays safe until the pod comes back and then they try to arrange a rendezvous. It is very exciting.

We always think our vacations are just a teeny bit too long, no matter how long or short they are.

We had trouble in the heat, of course, but as it turns out, we missed a record heat wave in our home town. It was actually 10 degrees cooler in the desert!

2:05 pm

My brother in henderson NV was dealing with 109F the other day:(

2:06 pm

hego

Don't know how anyone lives there.

2:06 pm

crosshair

I do not know how he does it either.

2:07 pm

crosshair

lets see what it is there today...

2:07 pm

hego

Love, my wet, green New Jersey.

2:07 pm

crosshair

it is exactly 100F there atm:(

2:08 pm

hego

:P

2:08 pm

crosshair

108F again by Monday

2:08 pm

Bugsaw

I jsut read all about him crossy. Fascinating! and terribly sad that the others can't hear him if he gets close to them

2:08 pm

crosshair

Poor 52 hertz:(

2:09 pm

crosshair

I first heard of him about 5 years ago. On the plus side they say he is healthy.

2:12 pm

Bugsaw

I was taken with the idea that he could be deformed in some way. Whales are such social creatures it makes me sad to think that perhaps he was pushed out of his pod. More likely that he got separated and they couldn't find him. Either way, poor 52 Hertz

2:13 pm

hego

poor boy

2:14 pm

crosshair

roaming the endless sea--singing a song of love and loneliness to a lady who can never answer:(

2:15 pm

hego

Crossy, you're going to make me cry....

2:15 pm

hego

Would make a great song..or poem.

2:15 pm

crosshair

next tidbit will be more upbeat--promise.

2:16 pm

Bugsaw

there you go, crossy. how are you at poetry?

2:16 pm

hego

:')

2:16 pm

crosshair

2:16 pm

hego

I'll bet he'd be good.

2:16 pm

crosshair

dozen or so rough poems

2:16 pm

hego

I knew it!

2:17 pm

crosshair

They need polishing, but they are all complete

2:17 pm

Bugsaw

crosshair

I spit these things out like pumpkin seeds:)

2:28 pm

hego

lol

2:30 pm

Bugsaw

you must! I used to agonize over my writing until I saw how fast some people read. They don't care nearly as much as I did over the exact choice of word to evoke image or emotion.

2:31 pm

hego

I always feel guilty when I skim over a page.

2:31 pm

hego

I think of the poor soul who struggled to get ti just right.

2:31 pm

2:32 pm

I do a lot of stream-of- consciousness writing. It is my stock-in-trade as it were.

On the other side of the coin I have spent 3 weeks grinding over a 5 page essay:)

5:17 pm

featherbee

i figure i'll pick at it now, while i'm resting, and do more later

5:18 pm

featherbee

my back, neck, and hips aren't too pleased with me right now!

5:18 pm

kje

why is that?

5:18 pm

kje

my hip and shoulders have been sore lately, I think it is the mattress

5:19 pm

featherbee

back/neck from hauling crap all over the place last week and loading/unloading over the weekend, oh yeah, plus a flat hard mattress. hips from walking in deep sand and walking miles over the sand flats when the tide was out.

5:19 pm

featherbee

i'm about 90% unpacked

5:20 pm

kje

you sound old

5:21 pm

5:22 pm

kje

ibuprofen, hot bath, and stretch for a while... in that order

5:22 pm

featherbee

did the first, and then sat for a while, rather than continue to do laundry/clean/mow

5:23 pm

featherbee

maybe i'll do the bath and stretch in a bit

5:23 pm

featherbee

i was chatting with ruru here last night. he docked me niceness points because of my history of taking your side with him, lol!

5:25 pm

featherbee

5:25 pm

featherbee

5:26 pm

featherbee

5:27 pm

kje

no one would know that IRL you're this tiny, shy, dimunitive personality

5:27 pm

featherbee

wow, you're not going with the hippie pothead angle? ;P

5:28 pm

featherbee

daniel is currently placing handcuffs on my ankles..........

5:28 pm

kje

well, we haven't brought up weed yet

5:28 pm

featherbee

me: "ow"
him: "your ankles are thick"

5:30 pm

5:46 pm

Soodle

6:17 pm

57 cent short stack. I make better pancakes than that though. : D

6:17 pm

Good to know, TO' I'll pass that on to my kids (we don't usually go there; but who knows?)

6:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am sure, but there is just something about out for pancakes that is fun

6:18 pm

MollyL

And free breakfast at Denny's on your birthday (All you Breaking Bad fans know this)

6:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

i had the worst breakfast last week at perkins. i do not keep bacon, so when i want it it is out for breakfast. not often, but every few months.

6:21 pm

MollyL

Nothing worse than looking forward to something and having it turn out bad

6:22 pm

Nef

We don't usually go out for breakfast unless we're traveling - or after church. Going out for breakfast requires getting dressed, & now that we're both retired we sit around in our jammies most mornings for quite a while! ;-)

6:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

molly and crosshair can have a breakfast cook-off!

6:24 pm

MollyL

Breakfast is such an inexpensive meal to make at home and it costs about four times as much when you eat out. I like the occasional Sunday brunch at a nice place, but that is about it.

6:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

time to make dinner. chicken with shallots and white wine.

6:26 pm

Sounds good TO, enjoy

Much better ... thankfully it wasn't enough to be hospitalized ... still took about 5 days to pass.

7:36 pm

Not pleasant.

7:36 pm

Nef

Yikes, Pini! That sounds nasty. Did you figure out what you ate?

7:36 pm

Pinikula

I was more frustrated that I couldn't go riding than I was at feeling sick (until my rolling stomach reminded me otherwise).

7:37 pm

Pinikula

Determined it was a bad egg.

7:38 pm

TraderKate

One bad egg spoils the whole carton.... poor pini, my sympathies!

7:38 pm

Nef

Wow. My daughter had Noro virus & managed to spread it to about 10 people before things settled down for her. (She'd eaten at a restaurant that caused it for severeal other custermores

8:12 pm

Nef

how are you doing feather?

8:17 pm

featherbee

pretty good, distracted by tv, lol

8:18 pm

featherbee

watching so you think you can dance. i love it.

8:19 pm

Nef

Well, enjoy it then. I've only watched it once (I think) and couldn't understand why so many people were upset by the winner that night

8:20 pm

featherbee

hmm, i don't remember people being upset over who won on it...i did miss a season or two in the very beginning, so might have been one of those

8:20 pm

Nef

I think it was a year or 2 ago; I just didn't get into it

8:21 pm

featherbee

ahhh, gotcha

8:25 pm

Nef

I love to watch ball room dancing; I used to like to dance; but I think it's watching some of the practices & mental stuff over the previous week that I didn't like

8:27 pm

featherbee

i love seeing all the different kinds of routines, and enjoy the vibe of the judging, it's always very dancer-supportive

8:27 pm

Nef

Still trying to finish this, had to go to Lickety and still couldn't find the first ar5!

8:28 pm

featherbee

did you find it?

8:28 pm

Nef

okay. Thinking back, I think the episode I watched there was some actress who seemed overly self-centered

8:28 pm

Nef

Yes, I just did before I worte that

8:29 pm

featherbee

you're thinking of a similar show, dancing with the stars, i think

8:29 pm

Nef

oh! That might be; I didn't know that there were 2 shows like thaton now!

8:32 pm

featherbee

they both debuted in 2005, wow! i just had to look up which came first, lol, and looks like they're the same time

8:33 pm

featherbee

dancing with the stars is a bigger franchise though

8:33 pm

Nef

(Can you tell I don't watch the regular channels much? I watch PBS, History Channel, Science Channel, etc.)

8:35 pm

featherbee

i watch this, and the big bang theory....that's pretty much it! oh, and the tour de france right now. :)

8:38 pm

Nef

DH & I started getting some classes we've been watching some "Great Courses" videos lately. That's been good

8:40 pm

featherbee

what are those?

8:43 pm

Nef

It's a company where you pick & choose courses you'd like to take. We've taken courses for ancient history, Cooking, medivial history, comparing religions, etc. They're supposedly taught by college professors (but I can't see where we'd be able to get credit for them). ANd they are kind of spendy too

8:43 pm

featherbee

oh neat!

8:46 pm

9:06 pm

9:06 pm

Nef

9:12 pm

dcseain

:)

9:12 pm

welki

i was playing tangleword when that closed down, too. a few of us made it here.

9:13 pm

featherbee

i found it with the stumbleupon site, i believe

9:13 pm

welki

wow, stumble's been around that long

9:13 pm

torgone

I first saw Babble on boingboing ..

9:15 pm

Nef

I joined the first day I came here; it was a much better fit for me than role-playing games.

9:15 pm

featherbee

stumble's been around since 2002, apparently

9:16 pm

dcseain

i got told about Babble by my friend mark, whose handle on here i forget.

9:16 pm

Nef

OMG! We're getting older and so is the internet!

9:17 pm

9:18 pm

I can't remember the one gals' name (she was from Winnipeg), but a young guy from the game (Pyroto) used the name of Yoink.

9:18 pm

welki

hey, stid, nice to 'see' you here!

9:18 pm

Nef

Hey stid!

9:18 pm

stidmama

My Tom told me about Babble after it was reviewed in some computer magazine (or site?)...

9:19 pm

stidmama

I love Babble, but nowadays don't worry too much about the stats. I have fallen a lot in the rankings since I went back to school in 2008.

9:19 pm

featherbee

down to 20

9:20 pm

stidmama

go feather go!

9:20 pm

featherbee

yep, i do the smaller ones, bigger ones i do as much as i feel up to. too much else going on around me to be able to do it all.

9:20 pm

featherbee

i prefer under 200 grids

9:20 pm

Nef

GO feather (I still have 40 to find; I should work on the grid PLUS chat, right?)

9:21 pm

welki

when i started, i tried to finish every grid. now, too busy to be so competitive with myself

9:21 pm

featherbee

i'm currently ignoring my laundry buzzer

9:21 pm

stidmama

just down to 50 (played a bit earlier)

9:21 pm

Nef

same here. There's just too much going on these days

9:21 pm

stidmama

Feather, I ordered that book you recommended. It should arrive Wednesday...

9:21 pm

featherbee

awesome!!!! i know you'll like it!

9:22 pm

stidmama

Laundry buzzer? You do laundry in the summer? I just tell the kids to turn their clothes inside out and run through the sprinkler a few times... *wicked mama of adults grin* or they can do their own.

9:23 pm

featherbee

lol, yeah, gotta get the sand out of things. however, baths DO fall by the wayside more in the summer. i mean, come on, a dip in the pool, with chlorine, they can't get much cleaner!!!!

9:23 pm

Nef

LOL!

9:23 pm

stidmama

:-D

9:24 pm

Nef

it would be great if that would work, stid!

9:24 pm

featherbee

ok, 16 left...better get them before they wrinkle, because i do NOT iron.

9:25 pm

featherbee

brb

9:25 pm

stidmama

well, down to 48. Going to work on clearing off ONE table this evening (putting the must-use materials in a box by my work chair in the living room). BUGS WILL BE HERE TOMORROW! 24-hour countdown begins! :-D

9:25 pm

stidmama

She promised she was coming to see me and to not inspect for dust, so I am NOT trying to get everything cleared, just a bit MORE space so we can maybe eat at a table if we want. It is going to be SO MUCH FUN!!!!

9:26 pm

Nef

THat sounds great, stid! I hope you have fun!

9:27 pm

welki

wish more babblers lived near me - you're lucky, stid

oh - and Nef -- I wish you could see the garden. It's not perfect yet, but it is getting there. One of my new dahlias is actually starting to bloom. Unless the deer at it today... I don't see it from here. *hmph look* I think I shall investigate. Might be time for my patented deer-B-gone stinky spray. And Welki, if you are EVER near the Salish Sea, please let me know. Unless it's the middle of Spring I can probably take a personal day off from school and come see you! *extends offer to others also*

9:28 pm

Nef

HEY! It's about time! :-D (I've been trying to get herin here instead of FB

9:31 pm

Nef

Now I understand, herin

9:32 pm

herinfernallady

Welki Hey. As for the Bisquick thing this is a new product in Australia. I for one am not fussed on using store bought short cuts. I just found it interesting that we are getting it.

9:32 pm

Nef

JUst now? Bisquick has been around at least since the '60's (I used it when I was in college)

9:33 pm

welki

9:33 pm

herinfernallady

Welki - are they Peppermint Ridge ones?

9:34 pm

welki

i think they're the same company, arnotts

9:35 pm

welki

maybe they just tasted better because they were gifts

9:36 pm

herinfernallady

Then if they are Arnotts TIM TAM Biscuits NOT cookies they are the same

9:37 pm

Nef

what would be the difference?

9:37 pm

featherbee

hi herin

9:38 pm

herinfernallady

9:49 pm

featherbee

9:54 pm

Nef

thanks! :-)

9:54 pm

herinfernallady

She wanted to be an architect as there was a lady working at her fathers office. That was a silly notion as the lady was the Secretary. She did have a hand in designing her house though

9:55 pm

Nef

good for her!

9:56 pm

featherbee

or6 please?

9:56 pm

Nef

The aunt who raised me raised the 4 of us girls to believee that if a man could do something, we could too. Later in her life, though, she couldn't understand why we felt that way! (I don't think she ever realized what an example she was to us)

9:56 pm

herinfernallady

Gram had a really silly idea of putting the washroom in the middle of the house.

9:57 pm

Nef

or + a *** of sun (spelled wrong)

9:57 pm

Nef

why was that silly?

9:58 pm

herinfernallady

1946 that was a silly idea

9:59 pm

Nef

washroom ; is that a bathroom to us Americans?

9:59 pm

herinfernallady

no wash room - laundry and I think toilet

10:00 pm

herinfernallady

and I think bathroom

10:00 pm

Nef

The house I grew up in had a 1/2 bath on the main floor that was in the center of the house (the full bath upstairs was on an outside wall

10:00 pm

herinfernallady

The washroom was where laundry was done and where the icebox use to live. They were also fancy and had gas and electric ovens in the kitchen

10:02 pm

featherbee

10:05 pm

10:05 pm

Nef

10:06 pm

featherbee

Nef

10:55 pm

stidmama

Well, not making progress as fast as I had hoped, but still there is progress. I am going to finish clearing off this one table (we call it the "game" table) tonight, and then spend my day tomorrow working on getting the actual dining table clear. Thing is, I am actually trying to "touch once" and put things away rather than just stuffing things into another box for a distant and poorly-defined "later." I hate going through all this stuff. But I am still missing about thirty items that if they still exist I really want. So...

10:58 pm

Nef

Good for you, stid. I have a box sitting beside me right now that I can't figure out what to do with the contents of. So it sits . And waits. (I kind of hope that by the time I look at it again, I'll just throw it all out!)

11:01 pm

stidmama

I have all kinds of art and craft supplies that I have discovered from when my sons were younger that I can take to school. But things that I had for myself, for the most part, I am going to get rid of (not the fabrics, or vintage patterns, though!) and just buy new when I have the time to work. The papers are slowly mouldering and the paints are mostly gone anyway. Books are the hard ones to part with, but there aren't many of those left so it's not that bad.

11:02 pm

stidmama

It has really cooled down here (finally!). It's not even 70 outside now, and yesterday it was still well above 80.

11:02 pm

stidmama

Almost feels like rain, but likely a false alarm. Still, probably should close the windows on the car.

11:02 pm

stidmama

down to 40...

11:05 pm

Nef

I have 2 left. If I would stop chatting I'd be done by now; but that's no fun

11:07 pm

Nef

fireworks. (finally)

11:07 pm

stidmama

go nef go!

11:07 pm

stidmama

YAY NEF!!!!!!
