1:17 am

sprite

new word for the dictionary: coitire - become sex-fatigued

1:18 am

rururocks

coities for the bondage types

1:18 am

Jadeomoan

wish I knew what hat that word meant in practical use, sprite....lol

1:18 am

sprite

I like it, ru, am putting it in

1:19 am

rururocks

*whistles*

1:20 am

sprite

I am a happy camper now, arb, all is going well here. How about you?

1:20 am

ARB

Other than the political situation here, we are good.

1:21 am

rururocks

I can't imagine living on the edge like you do arb

1:21 am

sprite

am glad things are good on the personal level, arb. The other part is troublesome though.

1:22 am

sprite

*what ruru said*

1:22 am

ARB

Ruru, regular life here is great -- good weather, good cultural life, good food. You just learn to ignore headlines, and be streetsmart.

1:23 am

rururocks

well.. you are surrounded by lunatics

1:24 am

sprite

aren't we all

1:24 am

ARB

True. Too true.

1:24 am

sprite

oops, did I say that aloud> ;)

1:25 am

ARB

It's why Israelis travel a lot -- to try for some foreign normalcy.

1:25 am

rururocks

we tend to put ours in congress. .sprite

1:25 am

sprite

too true, ru, too true.

1:27 am

rururocks

I'm losing weight in sympathy for you sprite

1:27 am

rururocks

My doctor put his foot down and said I need to lose 20-30 pounds or more

1:27 am

sprite

and is that a good thing, ru, or were you skinny to start with?

1:28 am

rururocks

no.. I've never been skinny

1:28 am

rururocks

I'm on the husky side

1:28 am

Jadeomoan

i'll join you too ruru.....

1:28 am

sprite

ah I see. How is it going, ru?

1:29 am

rururocks

so far.. I've lost 6 pounds.. i'm on a lot of salads right now.. and cutting back on a lot of stuff

1:29 am

rururocks

I will start riding my bike too in the early evening.. to hot during the day

1:29 am

ARB

It's not that I weigh too much for my height; it's that I am too short for my weight.

1:29 am

sprite

sounds good, ru. Slow and steady is the way. And lots of veggies help.

1:30 am

sprite

that is it exactly, arb. I should have been 3 m 50

1:30 am

rururocks

it is so hard to drop weight though .. I think my metabolism has changed

1:30 am

rururocks

lol arb

1:30 am

rururocks

I used to be six feet tall.. but i'm shrinking

1:31 am

sprite

that is quite possible, ru. If it keeps on being a struggle, you might want to try to stop eating carbs for a while. That forces your body to burn fats and it can change back your metabolism to a fatburning one.

1:32 am

rururocks

i don't eat carbs.

1:32 am

rururocks

i'm off of carbs

1:32 am

rururocks

and limiting wine due to carbs in the vino

1:33 am

Jadeomoan

oh carbs are my biggest downfall. but if i eat it in smaller portions i'm ok.

1:33 am

sprite

ah awesome. That can help a lot. And yes, alcohol = sugar. Drink water instead.

1:34 am

sprite

I don't eat carbs at all now. No potatoes, pasta, ri4 or anything with sugar in it in any form. Sometimes it is hard, but I do have more energy and I am finally losing some kilos.

1:35 am

rururocks

good for you

1:36 am

sprite

thank you :) Good luck to you, ru. Changing our eating habits is not an easy thing.

1:36 am

rururocks

I don't eat bread, potatoes, rice. or pasta.. I'm avoiding sugar.. sticking to fruit and veggies and small pieces of protein... it's really boring

1:36 am

sprite

it is. You may want to watch the fruits too. They have a lot of carbs in them.

1:36 am

rururocks

eating dinner earlier in the day is helping me too I think

1:37 am

sprite

oh, good idea!

1:38 am

rururocks

when i buy my house i'll have a small swimming pool..but swimming doesn't really take off weight unless you swim miles.

1:39 am

sprite

not in itself, ru. But the exercise is great for your total health and you keep your muscles up, and that does help.

1:39 am

rururocks

i'll shut up now.. hogging the chat

1:39 am

sprite

hog all you want. We like to hear about our babble friends.

1:40 am

rururocks

I'm surprised GR isn't done yet

1:41 am

sprite

oh she most likely finished already. Just still online and may pop back in to chat with us

1:42 am

grannyrose

AND HERE I AM!!! got tied up with a phone call . {{hugs}} and good morning sprite. g'day ruru

1:42 am

1:43 am

grannyrose

1:43 am

sprite

1:44 am

grannyrose

how are you, sprite? a little calmer?

1:45 am

sprite

yeah, calmed down. Drove Rob to the river yesterday. It was beastly weather lol, I almost felt guilty. Almost.

1:46 am

grannyrose

hmmmm, drove him to the river.... not in? she asks tentatively. did he take his umbrella.

1:46 am

grannyrose

pictures Rob rowing down the river, a little brolly attached to his headgear.

1:47 am

sprite

umbrella... we had winds up to windpower 8/9. So no, lol.

1:47 am

grannyrose

well if he held it the right way it would have worked like a sail, no oars/paddles needed.... lol

1:48 am

sprite

*giggles* no umbrella can weather that

1:48 am

grannyrose

mind you, he probably would have had to tie himself to the canoe.

1:48 am

sprite

he had to tie the canoe down as it was :)

1:49 am

rururocks

A whole new meaning to phone sex

1:49 am

grannyrose

what's that up in the sky? is it a bird? is it a plane? it's super Rob and his wind-powered canoe

1:50 am

sprite

superrob!

1:51 am

Jadeomoan

1:51 am

grannyrose

1:56 am

grannyrose

1:56 am

rururocks

1:58 am

1:59 am

sprite

2:01 am

grannyrose

2:07 am

grannyrose

btw you two. have either of you looked at the moon recently when it is just new or just about finished?

2:08 am

sprite

can't say I have. Just the occasional sliver

2:08 am

grannyrose

we used to have a sickle of light on the edge of th moon. nowadays it is almost on the bottom and top.

2:09 am

sprite

did the moon shift or did we? Or wait, it must be the sun!

2:09 am

grannyrose

sorry, that was meant to read .... on the side edges of the moon

2:10 am

grannyrose

i don't know. i was wondering if the view had changed in your hemisphere as well.

2:11 am

sprite

*giggles* I was trying to picture a sickle in the middle of the moon

2:12 am

grannyrose

*rolls eyes* lord save us!!! sprite....you are so silly, but i loves ya

2:12 am

sprite

luvu right back, darling

2:16 am

grannyrose

2:16 am

sprite

2:17 am

grannyrose

2:21 am

grannyrose

2:25 am

2:26 am

Jadeomoan

5:47 am

5:57 am

sukee

Hi again, got busy with Facebook :)

5:57 am

hurshy

do you have the new cats???

5:57 am

sukee

Yes I have new cats

5:57 am

hurshy

cat damon and tobey catguire?

5:57 am

sukee

and sore feet this morning

5:58 am

sukee

That is them.

5:58 am

hurshy

sore feet?

5:58 am

sukee

I slept diagonally on my bed and woke up to two cats completely stretched out together taking up half of the bed.

5:58 am

sukee

They kept jumping at them.

5:59 am

hurshy

what do they look like?

6:00 am

sukee

One is black, with a touch of white on his chest, he is the smaller one. The other is grey with white tufts behind his ears and a spot of white on his chests, he is very fluffy and I think part Persian.

6:01 am

hurshy

so other than jumping at your feet how are they doing

6:01 am

sukee

My camera is broken so I can't take new pictures. I do have their Humane Society pictures.

6:03 am

sukee

Great, were all over me when I got up and went into the kitchen to feed them :) They are still exploring. They jump on each other once in a while.

6:03 am

sukee

They have both cuddled with me, the grey one is more brave and lets me pick him up

6:04 am

hurshy

nice sounds like it is going well!!

6:04 am

sukee

Yes, they seem very happy to be here.

6:07 am

sukee

Place seems more like a home again :)

6:08 am

hurshy

aw, yeah!

6:18 am

sukee

Just got done with a play session, I had a thing on a stick that they have been jumping at Working off that breakfast :)

6:19 am

hurshy

fun :)

6:20 am

hurshy

i am feeling quite overwhelmed- moving in 3 days - so much to do - wondering how cats will handle massive road trip...

6:20 am

sukee

It's cute, when the black one catches it in his mouth we have tug of war and he growls a bit :) I told him he's not a panther.

6:20 am

sukee

My cat Boo, moved 4 times with me. He was fine :)

6:20 am

hurshy

you're supposed to tell him he IS a panther

6:21 am

sukee

lol

6:21 am

hurshy

my cats have moved multiple times and they are always fine with it, but those were shorter distance moves. this, they have to be travelling for many days, they have never had to have more than 1 day in a car before, before they got to settle somewhere and get used to it for a bit.

6:22 am

sukee

But, then with Boo we mostly flew, just one 1 hour trip in a car where he yelled the entire time. These guys on the other hand were quiet as mice when we drove them home.

6:22 am

hurshy

and of course they are older now

6:23 am

hurshy

right now it's like, i have so much to do that i hardly even know how to begin

6:23 am

crosshair

I am glad your new kitties are settling in well, Sukee:)

6:23 am

sukee

They will keep me on my toes

hi scrabbler...wandering off, checking emails

8:11 am

JBsAnno

Scrabbler!!

8:11 am

72 Temple Owl

what brand? there are several

8:11 am

JBsAnno

Sodium PCA spray, it's a good remedy for skin overexposed to sun.

8:12 am

JBsAnno

I remember using Twin Labs, TO.

8:15 am

JBsAnno

But if there is a company that you are familiar/comfortable with that also offers it, that should suffice. For extra peace of mind, you could print the ingredients off the web to compare to what's in store.

8:16 am

72 Temple Owl

i thought i also saw NuSkin.

8:16 am

Scrabbler

Use a mineral-based sunscreen---with zinc and titanium. These are the safest and most effective.

Let's play! Faux Word Definition for 'crince' : to cringe and wince at the same time.

Wegmans has the best meat of any grocery store around here. A lot of their brand name products are priced far below other stores (butter and coffee are two I can think of)

8:24 am

JBsAnno

Hi, TK!! :)

8:24 am

TraderKate

Hi Molly :)

8:25 am

JBsAnno

So true, Molly, butter at my Wegmans is USD 2.49 compared to 3.99 at other local grocery stores.

8:26 am

hi al. clue for the 8 please and stat.

8:27 am

Anniebrook

ci 8 ---yellow stones

8:27 am

72 Temple Owl

wow jb i must go there

8:28 am

Anniebrook

There is no Wegmans in Brooklyn, sadly

8:28 am

JBsAnno

I go to the one in Montgomeryville, TO, at the Montgomery Mall, right off of 309 North. It's the closest for me. I'm not sure if prices similar to the Warrington or Cherry Hill stores.

8:29 am

MollyL

If you get a Wegmans card, that signs you up to get their coupons and the coupons include one coupon for 5 dollars off your total order. You get one of those per week.

8:29 am

Scrabbler

I think there will be a Brooklyn Wegmans in the future. Did I read that recently?

8:29 am

JBsAnno

:(, Annie, I know how you feel. I waited for Wegmans for 7 years to get into my area!

8:29 am

72 Temple Owl

i tend to go to warrington since i also do the shoprite up there

8:29 am

Anniebrook

I hope so, scrabbs.

8:30 am

JBsAnno

Yes, Molly, I signed up the first day. Those coupons are money in my pocket!

8:30 am

72 Temple Owl

i believe i read that as well. at least somewhere in the city. jb have you patronized the pub there?

8:30 am

JBsAnno

I don't want to turn the chat into a commercial, so I'll just say that I am a happy shopper at Wegmans.

8:32 am

JBsAnno

No, TO, the Pub has good food, but not in our perceived price range for a restaurant in a grocery store :). Not against it, just don't want to pay that much for lunch!

8:33 am

JBsAnno

QUESTION - is there a limit on the amount of people you can have in the My Friends list?

8:34 am

72 Temple Owl

i get that, same here, but curious.

8:35 am

bichon

We don't have Wegmans at all in CT

8:36 am

TraderKate

I think so JB

8:37 am

Scrabbler

It's wonderful to see a company function at a level of excellence for customers, because we know how poor customer service is with far too many companies. Wegman's does it right consistently, year after year.

8:39 am

bichon

Now you are making me jealous Scrabs. all we have in town is Stop and Shop and Price Chopper

8:41 am

MollyL

JBs, I don't know the answer to your question, sorry. Maybe email Dr. God?

8:43 am

Scrabbler

Lickety is the manager of Babble Expert, not Dr God.

8:43 am

JBsAnno

Thanks, Molly, I just did. Wandered away for email, and just realized, I need to get my tea and bagel! I'll be in and out all the rest of the day to finish. Catch you later!

No Scrabbs, I am referring to the My Friends list tab at the top of the chatterbox.

12:00 pm

TraderKate

ruru you're my very favourite Babbler... :D

12:00 pm

rururocks

:D

12:00 pm

TraderKate

that was a fast closing!

12:01 pm

rururocks

yes.. she wrote a check. ... no bank loans

12:01 pm

rururocks

nice to be in the 1% (for her I guess)

12:01 pm

rururocks

it's a cash deal so quick closing

12:02 pm

TraderKate

Nice for you too....gives you more latitude to move on a house quickly if you need to

12:02 pm

rururocks

yes.. if I can find something that meets my criteria

12:03 pm

rururocks

a lot of the houses with guest houses here are illegal units

12:03 pm

TraderKate

the guest houses not permitted and up to code?

12:03 pm

rururocks

usually garage to guest house conversions.. as an example

12:04 pm

TraderKate

I suppose if you found the right property at the right price building your own is out of the question?

12:04 pm

rururocks

i'm waiting to see if a certain house comes on the market

12:04 pm

rururocks

I would prefer to not have to build.. but i'm willing to put in a small swimming pool

12:05 pm

TraderKate

That's what I last heard.... so it's not even for sure it will come up?
Can realtor not approach the owners with a tentative offer - just expressing your interest?

12:05 pm

crosshair

Here, if you can squeak a "bunkie" in at 108 sq/ft or less, you are good to go without a permit:)

12:06 pm

rururocks

the owner of the property hasn't decided on a price.. I think that's the issue. I can wait till the market softens some to buy up I guess. But I don't want a large house anymore. too much hassle

12:07 pm

rururocks

i'm okay living where I am.. so I'm not pressured like my ex is to buy

12:09 pm

TraderKate

then you have the luxury of waiting for the perfect property :)
It does drain the equity some though... unless you've got a really good deal.

12:09 pm

TraderKate

Hi Crossy :)

Lucky you!

Some days it feels lucky, other days, not so much. My hubs says we only get two seasons. Summer, Summer, Summer and not Summer.

5:35 pm

jaxx7

The seasons are all mixed up here. You get Spring flowers blooming with summer ones. The weather is all muddled. We had a month's rain on Thursday.

5:35 pm

Hi jaxx. Back in pyjamas and wooly,jumpers here ðŸ˜¨

We have even had the heating on this last week - in july for heaven's sake. Hello, Chrissie

ChrissieDee

That's lovely jaxx.

ChrissieDee

How are,you?

I had a bad spell a few days ago and I have a troubling cough that wakes us up in the night. Otherwise, I am taking it steady.

5:43 pm

jaxx7

And you?

5:43 pm

ChrissieDee

Excuse random commas. I use an ipad and when I'm tired Typing goes to pot :)

5:44 pm

ChrissieDee

Bad tummy this weekend, but otherwise ok too.

5:45 pm

How is your hubby? I see alex Salmond has started on the referendum issue again.

5:46 pm

ChrissieDee

Hubby is good thanks

5:47 pm

I am not too happy with this grid!

5:47 pm

At the end of Sunday here, cos. I am finishing my day with a bout of babble

5:51 pm

MollyL

Hello saying to Cos think I

5:52 pm

cosdem

Sunday = visit MIL. Such a long drive for a short visit.

5:52 pm

cosdem

ugh there's something I wanted to tell you Molly but I forget. Ill prob remember when I send you an email later on :)

5:53 pm

rururocks

just house stuff here.. laundry, vacuuming, errands, drugs, and putzing around

5:53 pm

jaxx7

Then why no random commas from you, Ru?

5:54 pm

cosdem

We got a new vacuum today

5:56 pm

rururocks

nothing I do is random unfortunately

5:56 pm

jaxx7

Did it come with domestic staff to do the hard work?

5:57 pm

cosdem

Kinda. Thats Ryans job. He has a lot of making up to do for me.

5:57 pm

rururocks

cos has a MIL to do the cleaning

5:58 pm

jaxx7

I need a new Vac but the EU has made the stronger suction ones illegal.

5:58 pm

cosdem

lol no we are her maids :P

5:58 pm

rururocks

why is that jaxx?

5:59 pm

rururocks

I have a new Miele "Monica" model

5:59 pm

jaxx7

So cleaning the carpets now takes twice as long. As the idiots were trying to save energy it seems daft to me

5:59 pm

rururocks

dumb

6:00 pm

jaxx7

That's the EU for you. They are after hairdryers next

6:01 pm

cosdem

whats next low pressure shower heads?

Well at least there was drugs among the other household drudgery.

*quietly sidesteps all british royalty jokes*

6:03 pm

MollyL

I'm torn between Dyson and Shark as my favorite vacuums. And yes, my life is that boring that I have favorite vacuums.

6:03 pm

cosdem

molly we got a shark today

6:03 pm

jaxx7

Goodness knows. They have some real daft ideas and Britain being Britain we Kow-Tow to them and implement every stupid idea. Now if we followed the French example, we would say bien sur and then carry on doing our own thing.

6:03 pm

rururocks

only if they are on pedestals molly

6:04 pm

jaxx7

cos, what a way to talk about your MIL

6:04 pm

MollyL

It's a good machine, Cos.

6:05 pm

rururocks

does the shark make bumbum duh bumbum sounds while vacuuming?

6:05 pm

rururocks

(sly reference to Jaws)

6:06 pm

jaxx7

Clever, Ru

6:07 pm

MollyL

I think Dyson is better, but I didn't have the money to replace my last Dyson with another, so I got a Shark. The Dyson still works with the tools, but not for the carpet and floor.

6:07 pm

doseffing

... Jaxx ... I suggest using the Quebecois .... bien oui ... (pronounced ... ban oui) ... it's roughly translated as "yeah sure" and is considered quite rude ... the French might not recognize it ...

6:08 pm

jaxx7

Thanks. I only have 'O' level French from 1962.

6:13 pm

jaxx7

I am giving up folks. This grid isn't for me. Take care all of you
