2:57 am

Lizlin

Back - but looks like you've gone :(

2:57 am

rolin

i'm here

2:57 am

Lizlin

Hi Ro - have you spoken to Rich?

2:58 am

rolin

lol...yeah...I was just about to ask you the same... what a bummer eh?

2:58 am

Lizlin

Real bummer. Messaged Deb too - she's really low.

3:01 am

rolin

yeah... rich just texted...about some stuff of my mum's

3:01 am

Lizlin

Didn't know that. Just about Debs mums.

3:02 am

Lizlin

Perhaps he's going thru stuff more now.

3:02 am

rolin

yup...I gave her a pair of her pearl earrings when we were sharing out stuff

3:03 am

Lizlin

:(

3:03 am

Lizlin

It's such a personal violation.

3:03 am

Lizlin

Nothing can replace sentimental value.

3:04 am

rolin

and that's the word I used...violation... when we were broken into... and they took my engagement ring... ok..i wasn't wearing it...but I had had that ring on my person for 28/9 years..... its was part of me...

3:05 am

Lizlin

:( I felt that way about my mums candlesticks - stolen from my dad and step mum.

3:07 am

rolin

i know its bolting after the horse.... but once it all calms down there... I'm going to suggest getting a little safe...

3:07 am

Lizlin

I think Pete said they should talk to Steve.

3:09 am

rolin

yeah locksmiths sell them....

3:09 am

Lizlin

Like you said, better late....

3:10 am

rolin

but naturally when rich realised what had happened he went straight to the music room...

3:10 am

Lizlin

Great relief for him! Small comfort but at least that's good.

3:11 am

Lizlin

The story about rewrpping the plates is odd. Hopefully not casing the joint for future activity!

3:12 am

rolin

i didn't get that story

3:13 am

Lizlin

You can imagine the plates I mean?

3:13 am

Lizlin

They were unwrapped then re wrapped.

3:13 am

Lizlin

Very carefully, I believe.

3:14 am

rolin

ooooh... the ones part of the set??... i thought he meant the miniatures.... geez.... carefully eh?... well at least they were considerate...but yes.... he does need to speak to steve....quickly...that would be a worry...

3:15 am

Lizlin

Yes, I think those.

3:16 am

Lizlin

Just checking with Peter.

3:16 am

rolin

that would have really upset me... isn't it silly... they are just things....but as you said its the sentiment they represent

3:17 am

Lizlin

Yes, those.

3:18 am

Lizlin

You can't replace sentiment- it's a part of us.

3:21 am

rolin

*shudder*... when pete and i were first married... we were broken into when we lived in Canterbury... we were so broke the best they could do was steal some cigarettes...lol... and the guy who did it was having a very bad day.... and he ended up getting caught after trying to escape through a window he thought was open......but wasn't...lol

3:21 am

Lizlin

Lol but just the thought of someone going thru your things ...

3:22 am

rolin

oh absolutely...when we got home my knicker drawer was open..... that was just....not nice

3:23 am

Lizlin

Yuck!

3:23 am

Lizlin

Anyway - are you enjoying the summer hols?

3:25 am

rolin

i am.... i spent the first couple of weeks doing what teachers do....catching up on cleaning and maintenance.. and now i'm potting..... we have a friemd of den's staying last and tonight...then we have a high friend staying here for three weeks....i will taking her to York next week...and the Cotswolds the week after

3:25 am

rolin

*high school*

3:25 am

Lizlin

Lovely :) And back to PT work in Sept?

3:26 am

rolin

OH YES!.... i tell ya what... i did not realise how difficult it was going to be going back full time... to that job in particular... SO streeful

3:27 am

Lizlin

I can imagine. Really good of you to do it but I guess we all help out if needed.

3:27 am

Lizlin

You'll totally appreciate it when you go back.

3:28 am

rolin

i so will... and the way i look at it... its paid for my share of the bathroom renovations... tho i did have to attend a core group meeting last week and write a report..

3:29 am

Lizlin

In the hols? Outrageous!

3:30 am

rolin

well... it was my choice really... this family is heading for a crisis point...and ive been working with them for three years... i could be called to court... i felt i needed to be there

3:30 am

Lizlin

Of course. I wasn't serious. It had to be pretty important.

3:31 am

rolin

yeah.. rich has just sent an email if pete wants to pick it up..

3:32 am

Lizlin

Just told him. Thanks.

3:32 am

rolin

the stuff about timing is a bit scary

3:33 am

Lizlin

Just going to read over his shoulder. Back in a mo.

3:34 am

Lizlin

Very scary for Rich.

3:35 am

rolin

and his mother.... you don't wanna be part of that...

3:35 am

Lizlin

Poor Deb

3:35 am

Lizlin

Poor Deb

3:36 am

rolin

yeah... this is not what she needs

3:36 am

Lizlin

For all

3:36 am

Lizlin

Just sends shivers thru me.

3:38 am

rolin

well...im getting no where with this grid for now... i best be productive else where.... and then i'm having lunch with a friend... and being taken out for dinner tonight.... i reckon that's a result!

3:38 am

Lizlin

Enjoy your day.

3:38 am

4:17 am

zoozzoom

How about yourself?

4:18 am

Lizlin

I'm fine, thanks. Getting ready for a cold night - down to 6 C. Mind you, it was 22 C today, so not complaining.

4:18 am

zoozzoom

Brr hope you will be well wrapped up tonight then, Liz!

4:19 am

Lizlin

Sure will :)

4:19 am

Lizlin

Doesn't seem like your having much of a summer this year.

4:20 am

zoozzoom

You should know this IS our usual summer..lol

4:20 am

Lizlin

* you're - hate misspelling that!

4:20 am

Lizlin

Lol, I guess I do.

4:21 am

zoozzoom

I knew what you meant, Liz :-)

4:22 am

Lizlin

I know but as an ex English teacher, I hate it!

4:22 am

zoozzoom

Ah yes in that case you should of known better. Detention for you young lady!

4:23 am

Lizlin

It's one of those words, along with there, their and they're!

4:23 am

Lizlin

Yessir!

4:23 am

zoozzoom

Teehee

4:24 am

Lizlin

Of course, autocorrect doesn't help.

4:25 am

zoozzoom

I use firefox and auto correct does not seem to work for some reason.

4:25 am

Lizlin

Using my iPad right now.

4:26 am

zoozzoom

I have used my parents galaxy tab a few times when I am there.But could not see the words too well on it to use.

4:26 am

Lizlin

Time for dinner now - have a good day.

4:27 am

zoozzoom

You too, Liz.Nice to see you.Have a wonderful night!

4:55 am

zoozzoom

Down to 67 more to find but slowed right down.

5:03 am

Jivingjenny0

any clues for the 9 or 10 please

5:07 am

zoozzoom

IN 9& 10 someone who stay overnight in hospital?

5:08 am

zoozzoom

Some one who just pops into hospital for help then leaves is an out_______

5:13 am

zoozzoom

Did that help at all, Jenny?

5:30 am

sukee

Good morning.

5:31 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Sukee :-)

5:32 am

sukee

Hi zoo.

5:36 am

zoozzoom

How are you keeping, Sukee?

5:36 am

sukee

:) Not bad. Got new TV, cats are fed and napping

5:37 am

zoozzoom

Oh yes how is it.Did he set it all up for you?

5:37 am

sukee

Yes, it was quite easy. And it was a girl :) It took about 20 minutes for everything.

5:38 am

sukee

It would be perfect if I had HD channels but still it is a big improvement.

5:38 am

zoozzoom

Excellent so no more internet bandwith usage then!

5:38 am

sukee

I also found apps that let me control some things from my iPad. I can search YouTube on it and bring the videos up on my TV.

5:38 am

zoozzoom

Bandwidth*

5:39 am

sukee

Well, I will be watching Netflix and You Tube. I am going to change my plan to unlimited since it's only about $10 more than what I pay now.

5:40 am

sukee

I can't believe how much bandwidth watching baseball team used, 4 times what my normally daily use is.

5:40 am

zoozzoom

I think going unlimited is the best way.I have that so no need to worry about how much usage i am using.

5:40 am

zoozzoom

Well if it is HD then it will use a lot more.

5:40 am

sukee

The plan I have now is not being offered anymore :)

5:41 am

sukee

But, I will have to exchange my modem before I can upgrade :)

5:41 am

zoozzoom

That is no big deal as they send you the router code with the new one anyway.

5:42 am

zoozzoom

Are your cats behaving themselves?

5:43 am

sukee

More or less, both jump on the counters now :) But jump down when I come near.

5:44 am

sukee

Tried putting lemon juice on the counters, no effect :) Tried pepper, no effect :) I will pick up some double sided tape to try that.

5:44 am

zoozzoom

Little buggers. Yes that could be a good idea.Never thought of that!

5:45 am

sukee

Damon discovered the top of the refrigerator a couple of days ago.

5:47 am

zoozzoom

Well you could just put items on the edge of the refrigerator so they have no edge to jump up onto.That might work for a while.

5:48 am

sukee

I have done that around the TV so they don't jump up there.

5:49 am

zoozzoom

I think as they get older they might settle down and be less inquisitive.

5:50 am

sukee

I'm sure they will.

5:51 am

zoozzoom

how is the gym going?

5:53 am

sukee

Good, going 3 times a week, most weeks, haven't been since Monday this week.

5:53 am

sukee

How are things going with you?

5:54 am

zoozzoom

It is good to keep fit..something I should do more of..lol

5:54 am

zoozzoom

I am doing okay thanks, Sukee. Staying in today as we have had lots of thunder & lightening and lots of rain today.

5:55 am

zoozzoom

Still raining as I type.

5:55 am

sukee

We had that a couple of days ago, today it's sunny and no clouds in the sky. Going up to 26C but they are saying rain is coming back.

5:56 am

zoozzoom

We have not had a good summer this year that is for sure.But still I am sure the plants are have a wonderful time!

5:57 am

zoozzoom

I would go out there and enjoy it while you can then, Sukee..lol

5:57 am

zoozzoom

If we had 26c we would call it a heat wave haha!

5:58 am

zoozzoom

Will you let your cats into your garden or would that not be a good idea?

5:59 am

zoozzoom

Sorry..you have come here to enjoy babble not to be interrogated by me.i will leave you in peace :-)

6:02 am

mrpresident

zoom, you are not interogating anyone! especially cat talk :)

6:02 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Mrp :-)

6:03 am

mrpresident

I have been bombarding sukee with ideas on how to get the cats to stop jumping up on the food counter.
I still suggest orange and black pepper oil... :))

6:03 am

mrpresident

but her cats seem to be made of something stronger than feline! LOL

6:03 am

sukee

Hi Mr.

6:03 am

sukee

Sorry had to clean the cat box

6:04 am

mrpresident

hi sukee :)

6:04 am

sukee

I live on the 9th floor, my cats are indoor only.

6:04 am

zoozzoom

Cats are a lot clever than people realise..lol

6:04 am

mrpresident

same with my puss, but he is allowed out for half hour on the large balcony at sunset

6:04 am

sukee

They keep trying to get out when anyone comes to the door.

6:05 am

zoozzoom

Oh yes Sorry, Sukee I had forgotten that.

6:05 am

mrpresident

and he is monitored at that time. Idiot got bit by a redback spider last time he was out without supervision

6:05 am

sukee

Oh goodie, got a note the plumber is coming in today to fix a pipe. Will have to hide the cats. And that means I have to get dressed :)

6:05 am

mrpresident

do you have long hallways sukee?

6:05 am

zoozzoom

Nasty.did he need vet care for it?

6:05 am

sukee

Yes.

6:06 am

mrpresident

are there cameras out in the hallways?

6:06 am

mrpresident

yes zoom... would have killed the poor bastard

6:06 am

sukee

Not that I know of, but I would worry they would jump on the elevator. Although, Damon did get out one and ran in when he heard the elevator.

6:07 am

zoozzoom

We have false black widow spiders here now.They can give a nasty bite so i am told.

6:07 am

mrpresident

I cured Dmitri of his curiousity by letting him go out the door, and then chased him all the way down the hallway and back... he flipped out!! LOL

6:08 am

mrpresident

He is now trained to see the open door and go back to his pedestal

6:08 am

sukee

I got so used to having an older cat, they tire me out sometimes :)

6:09 am

mrpresident

yes, kittens can be a handful!

6:09 am

zoozzoom

You love it, Sukee :-)

6:09 am

sukee

And there they go fighting again.

6:09 am

mrpresident

my oldest cat is 19... she is such a darling but gone back to kitten behaviour

6:09 am

zoozzoom

Better than being bored.

6:09 am

sukee

I took out a wicker box I had in my kitchen and they take turns sleeping in it. They can't chew it, although they try.

6:09 am

mrpresident

her claws don't retract anymore, so she gets stuck on everything she steps on!!

6:10 am

mrpresident

that is great sukee! get a couple more for them... is a good sleeping spot :)

6:10 am

sukee

Yes, Boo used to get his claws caught on things and I'd have to rescue him.

6:10 am

rubyfoo

I love all this cat talk. I once cat-sat a cat that used to wait on the lintels above doorways and pounce when you came through. Unfortunately, he lived on the 7th floor and committed suicide or maybe was trying to catch a pigeon and misjudged

6:10 am

sukee

Now they are both in it and fighting :)

6:10 am

sukee

Aww, poor kitty.

6:11 am

mrpresident

oh ruby! poor puss!

6:11 am

zoozzoom

Oh how sad, Ruby!

6:11 am

zoozzoom

Was it bad of me to sort of giggle when you said that story though.

6:11 am

mrpresident

sounds like a terrible accident

6:11 am

sukee

These i words are giving me grief today.

6:11 am

zoozzoom

Dont be a child, Sukee.

6:12 am

sukee

That is why I don't want to let my cats out on the balcony, they are so curious and jump up all the time.

6:12 am

zoozzoom

that was a hint by the way :-)

6:12 am

sukee

TY, got it :)

6:12 am

zoozzoom

:-)

6:14 am

zoozzoom

We had a dog on the island jump of the cliff chasing gosh knows what and well you know what happened there.Sad but sometimes domestic animals forget their surroundings and that's what happens.

6:15 am

zoozzoom

whoohoo just found a war aircraft in the grid!

6:16 am

sukee

what does it start with?

6:16 am

zoozzoom

Since my neighbour has moved and took her two cats with her.i have not had so many cats coming in and pooing on my garden :-)

6:16 am

zoozzoom

SP8

6:16 am

mrpresident

I want the Tuscany Hidden Cat Litter Box

6:17 am

sukee

Ah, I see it, ty :)

6:17 am

mrpresident

looks so much nicer than a standard box

6:17 am

sukee

I do have to buy a cat fountain, they keep knocking over the water dish.

6:17 am

sukee

Is it automatic? :)

6:18 am

zoozzoom

Just googled it, Mrp, looks like a plant pot.Nice!

6:18 am

mrpresident

don't think so sukee, but would pay good money for that!

6:18 am

mrpresident

it is zoom! I want one!

6:18 am

zoozzoom

I think many people would pay a good price for an automatic one..lol

6:18 am

sukee

Cute, they would eat the plant.

6:18 am

mrpresident

well I know I would!

6:19 am

zoozzoom

Could put catnip in it.The cats would be in heaven!

6:19 am

sukee

My two are not sure about catnip, they don't know what to do with it :)

6:19 am

mrpresident

I am stunned at Dmi... he will not eat anything but cat food... not a nibble

6:19 am

zoozzoom

I think it is catnip that cats go mad for?

6:20 am

crosshair

Good morning, everybody:)

6:20 am

sukee

One ate a bit, the other completely ignored it.

6:20 am

sukee

Hi crossy.

6:20 am

mrpresident

my cat goes mad for cardboard boxes and glasses of water (knocks them over)

6:20 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Crossy :-)

6:20 am

mrpresident

hi crossy!! ((hugs))

6:21 am

sukee

I have banned all cardboard boxes from my apartment. My last one chewed it a lot, may have contributed to his intestinal problems.

6:21 am

mrpresident

oh for sure sukee

6:22 am

sukee

I have to go get dressed and make breakfast, stomach is growling.

6:22 am

mrpresident

6:23 am

zoozzoom

Soundbar*

6:24 am

mrpresident

Oh now I want one zoom :)

6:26 am

mrpresident

oh crap, forgot to ring dad :(

6:26 am

zoozzoom

Well it does seem to work well for him, Mrp. But really all he needs to do is have his ears syringed but he is stubborn and will not go again.

6:26 am

zoozzoom

It is not too late to do so is it, MrP?

6:26 am

mrpresident

it is almost 9.30pm...

6:27 am

zoozzoom

Yes it is a bit late then.

6:28 am

mrpresident

I will try him at lunchtime tomorrow :)

6:28 am

zoozzoom

Still need 46 words.I am finding this grid a hard one today.

6:28 am

zoozzoom

Better write it down so you do not forget again, Mrp :-)

6:29 am

mrpresident

it is in my phone set as an alarm

6:29 am

mrpresident

too much on my mind with the kids and school

6:30 am

zoozzoom

My sister's children are moaning that they only have three weeks left of the summer holidays and then back at school..lol

6:30 am

mrpresident

how long do the holidays go for?

6:31 am

zoozzoom

I think it is almost seven weeks.

6:31 am

mrpresident

ah well yes, would get boring

6:32 am

zoozzoom

Please they don't know what boring means.I used to go round with a bike tyre and roll it around pretending I was a racing driver..lol

6:32 am

mrpresident

ah, before ipads :)

6:33 am

zoozzoom

Exactly.

6:34 am

zoozzoom

Plus they go to a lot of places like legoworld,zoos,carshows, lizard lick etc they do a lot during the summer holidays.Yet they still complain they are bored!

6:35 am

hydra

We would roller skate (I was useless), play hopscotch, play with a skipping rope, or hula hoop, ride our bikes, play hide and seek and 'What's the time Mr Wolf'? and there were never enough hours in the day. No TV till I was 15, just a radio, which was my dad's, and a record player. My sister and I were never bored.

6:36 am

zoozzoom

what's the time mr wolf.wow I had forgotten that one!

6:36 am

hydra

And The Farmer's in his Den!

6:36 am

mrpresident

did you guys play 'who's got the ball?'

6:37 am

zoozzoom

I used to jump off of a bike shed onto an old matress and thought that was the best thing ever!

6:37 am

hydra

Don't know that one, MrP

6:37 am

mrpresident

Queenie, Queenie.. who's got the ball!?

6:37 am

zoozzoom

Not heard of it unless it is called a different name here?

6:38 am

zoozzoom

Is it a girls game or for both?

6:38 am

mrpresident

It is a group game for all

6:39 am

hydra

Kids don't play group games any more, do they? They're all isolated with their hand-held devices. Sad.

6:39 am

zoozzoom

http://tinyurl.com/pwgbr3v

I am sure that is it, Mrp

6:40 am

hydra

Mr partner's granddaughter is only 4 and already has her own pad and other techy stuff.

6:40 am

zoozzoom

Not just children to be honest, Hydra. Even my mother has her face buried in facebook on her phone theses days. It is just my dad and I who sit and talk most of the time I am there.

6:41 am

mrpresident

oooh hydra... that is young

6:41 am

mrpresident

and here we are on our computers playing and chatting! LOL

6:41 am

zoozzoom

I personally think that is way too young.But am not surprised that at that age they have these things either.

6:41 am

mrpresident

as far as I'm concerned, I need to be online and keep up with the brats!

6:41 am

hydra

Yes, hahaha! We're just as bad. But at least we learned how to socialise when young.

6:42 am

hydra

I must change my photo. Poor Flad passed away a few weeks ago. I miss him like mad. He was 18.

6:42 am

mrpresident

oh hydra :( sorry darling

6:43 am

zoozzoom

I agree to a certain extent I meant when you are with other people.Like when I see my parents.My mother sister her partner and my sisters children are all on their devices except my father and I..lol

6:43 am

mrpresident

Jessie is coming on 19 years old... she is looking rough too, but I reckon she will go a few more years

6:43 am

zoozzoom

Sorry to hear that, ((Hydra))

6:43 am

hydra

I have bought a bench and had a memorial plaque made. Anyway, let's stick to the chat about kids and games!

6:44 am

mrpresident

zoom, I love sitting down with a newspaper puzzle and working on it with other people... so much more fun!

6:44 am

zoozzoom

It is ookay to talk about her if you wish, Hydra :-)

6:45 am

zoozzoom

I just like to sit and talk when other people are in the room family members I mean..I have a problem with speaking to people I do not know..lol

6:45 am

mrpresident

that is so nice and what a lovely memorial

6:46 am

zoozzoom

Talk about him sorry.

Moving is a slog. I've declared I'd never do it again. I'd rather sell everything I own rather than take it with me.

Review: Starbucks - Green Tea Frappuccino. Most people know it at Starbucks as the Green Tea Frappuccino, but the full name is the Tazo Green Tea Frappuccino Blended Creme. It features a blend of sweetened matcha green tea, milk, and ice. Matcha has a distinctive, deep taste that sets it apart from other green teas.May 16, 2012

6:19 pm

Now that clue I understand, ch. The parent one had me lost.

On that happy note I will go empty the dishwasher. Thanks all, have fun!

6:21 pm

Aloyisius

bye, ch1212..

6:22 pm

MollyL

I thought a proge7 was someone who sweeps the floor with years of experience. : D
(meant to be humorous)

6:23 pm

Aloyisius

lol, get it

6:24 pm

MollyL

I have to qualify all my joke comments now because I was reprimanded for "sounding critical"

6:25 pm

Aloyisius

well, I just ignore all that fluff..

6:25 pm

MollyL

Best idea

6:25 pm

Aloyisius

Babble is a fun time for me, and I keep it that way

Wish I stayed at work now. I am so behind idk why I even came home lol. Hopefully this grid isnt too challenging

7:03 pm

Lizlin

Hi and good morning, all :)

7:04 pm

Aloyisius

kind of medium, cos.. hi there Liz

7:05 pm

Lizlin

I found it hard to get into this grid - but only 14 left now.

7:05 pm

Lizlin

Trying to think about Molly's clue for ge 7

7:05 pm

If people don't get your humour, Molly, ignore them! Their problem!

7:07 pm

cosdem

I'll probably be regretting it tomorrow when I end up staying til 9pm :P I cannot wait for Sundays when I go back to afternoon/evenings

7:07 pm

cosdem

lol yes gi8 :P

7:08 pm

MollyL

Indeed, Liz

7:08 pm

Lizlin

Though hanging my head - don't get the ge 7 clue :(

7:09 pm

rururocks

ge 7 is a guy who cleans up genes

7:09 pm

MollyL

The ja7...the guy who mops up and cleans in the building...start it with a ge

7:09 pm

Lizlin

Ah right - thanks.

7:10 pm

MollyL

Whew. I thought maybe they were called cleany men in England.

7:10 pm

rururocks

<---got the same clue in first :D

7:10 pm

Lizlin

Would definitely not have thought of that - makes sense to me with pro in front of it.

7:10 pm

rururocks

scrub-bubs molly ..

7:11 pm

MollyL

That is because you are the Babble Beloved, Ru.
: P : P

7:11 pm

Lizlin

No, called caretakers! But I know ja 7 from TV

7:11 pm

Lizlin

But I like cleany men! Might start using that.

7:12 pm

rururocks

cleany men would squeak

7:13 pm

Lizlin

lol!

7:13 pm

cosdem

Molly Ive been watching The Stand the last few days and something I didnt notice before is now bothering me.. Why would people be piloting a plane or driving cars when they were dying of Capn tripps?

7:14 pm

MollyL

Cleany men who eat lollys and put nappies on their grandbabies.

7:14 pm

MollyL

There was mass panic about Captain Tripps and people were trying to flee, thinking they could escape it. Have you read the book?

7:15 pm

cosdem

Ok I am actually reading the book now for the first time. But that makes sense since all the planes that crashed were small ones not the 747s

7:16 pm

MollyL

I'm confused because there is nothing about planes in the mini series.

7:16 pm

cosdem

Oh there were planes on the side of roads when they were all traveling to Hemingford Home

7:19 pm

MollyL

Ah, okay. I think The Stand was one of the best cast Stephen King stories ever (except for Molly Ringwold) Ruby Dee as Mother Abigail was an inspired choice. And Bill Fagerbakke was born to play Tom Cullen.

7:19 pm

cosdem

Rob Lowe pissed me off in this movie. His portrayal of a deaf man was truly offensive

7:20 pm

cosdem

No deaf person I know would hold their hands on someones chest and open mouth in awe when they are singing. No. Never would happen.

7:20 pm

MollyL

Rob Lowe is never a good choice for anything. And yes, the last time I watched the Stand I noticed Rob Lowe understanding what people were saying without looking at them.

7:21 pm

Lizlin

Fireworks - thanks for the help. Enjoy your evenings.

7:21 pm

cosdem

But yes Rudy Dee and Bill were great. Ossie was good too so was Ray.

7:23 pm

Aloyisius

wtg, Liz.. congrats!

7:24 pm

MollyL

I'll watch anything with Gary Sinise in it. That man has appeal.

7:24 pm

cosdem

He was amazing as Harry Truman

7:25 pm

MollyL

He was, he is such a good actor. And under utilized, although I think that is by his choice.

7:26 pm

cosdem

Oh come on! Rob Lowe is answering a questing by writing it down but he has his eyes on the paper and not the person who is speaking. Makes me mad lol

7:26 pm

cosdem

Gary and Tom Hanks are pretty selective but that is fine. whatever they do is popular.. idk what people see in tom hanks though. cannot stand him.

7:27 pm

TraderKate

congratulations liz!

7:27 pm

MollyL

That is what I meant by understanding people by not looking at them. They really should have had a deaf person as a consultant.

7:28 pm

cosdem

Marlee Matlin was at her prime then too. Makes no sense why they didn't use her. Phyllis Frelich (tony winning actress). I dont mean as the character but to advise. Theres also a huge deaf theater group in NYC. Well known.

7:29 pm

MollyL

Or while not looking at them...it's been a long day here

7:29 pm

cosdem

The deaf girl on abc family's switched at birth is not a native signer. she isnt culturally deaf but plays one on tv.

7:30 pm

MollyL

Well if I noticed Rob Lowe's mistakes portraying a deaf person, I am sure the deaf community did. I bet they got lots of complaints.

7:31 pm

cosdem

I probably dont remember because I was like 13? Or no I was a freshman in HS and I had a crush on rob lowe so I didnt notice anything he did wrong lol

7:32 pm

Aloyisius

last word, ti7.32 which I will be if I have another VT.. bye babblers, see you tomorrow.. poof

7:34 pm

MollyL

I think a better actor would have asked for a deaf person on set as a consultant. Rob Lowe is too in love with himself to think he needed that.

7:35 pm

TraderKate

congratulations aloy!

7:38 pm

cosdem

wth sesame street is moving to hbo?

7:38 pm

MollyL

Wow, PBS lost big time on that.

7:39 pm

MollyL

And now, of course, kids whose parents can't afford HBO will not get to see it. That sucks.

7:40 pm

cosdem

Ah first runs on hbo. reruns on pbs

7:40 pm

cosdem

and 35 episodes per season instead of 18.

7:41 pm

cosdem

episdoes will air on pbs 9 months after hbo airs it.

7:42 pm

cosdem

THis deal actually looks like a winner to me.

7:45 pm

MollyL

PBS is free TV. HBO is pay TV. Why would anyone watch on HBO?

7:49 pm

cosdem

Yeah but the streaming thing .. they are going to be adding 150 episodes of past seasons on demand. PBS had cut the show to 30 minutes only starting this fall.

7:50 pm

cosdem

I'd rather first runs be on PBS then go to HBO. But that would make way too much sense.

7:59 pm

MollyL

I'm just glad I don't have young kids that need an explanation about why Sesame Street isn't on PBS anymore. Mine got perturbed enough about membership drives.

8:00 pm

dan2bit

the back catalog of Sesame Street is where it's at anyway :-)

8:00 pm

cosdem

Oscar can swear now. Bert and Ernie can finally sleep in the same bed.

8:00 pm

dan2bit

hahaha cos

8:01 pm

MollyL

I remember hos crushing it was for my niece when Mr. Hooper died. What will happen when Bob, Maria, Luis and the rest pass?

8:02 pm

cosdem

Maria just retired from the show.

8:02 pm

cosdem

I am still not over Mr. Looper's death... (That's Hooper Bird....)

8:03 pm

MollyL

Hos crushing? I really need to call it a day.

8:04 pm

cosdem

At first I thought you had to make crushed hohos for your daughter

8:05 pm

MollyL

No, it was my niece. She called him Mr. Hoo-Hoo. And she couldn't understand why he died. She was pretty little at the time.

8:05 pm

cosdem

Airing it on Thanksgiving was an interesting choice

8:07 pm

MollyL

I agree with 2Bit. The back catalog of Sesame Street is the best. Christmas Eve On Sesame Street is still one of my favorite Christmas shows.

8:16 pm

cosdem

I own that on dvd Watch it every christmas eve at 11pm
