Goodmorning! ((zzoozz))

((Ruby)) How are you?
3:45 am
rubyfoo
Why don't they give us big grids on the weekends?
3:45 am
zoozzoom
I know right!
3:46 am
rubyfoo
At the moments, I have an appraiser here to set a value on the antiquees, simply to satsify the US lawyer.
3:46 am
zoozzoom
Did you enjoy Le tour de France?
3:46 am
rubyfoo
Wht a waste of time and money!!!
3:47 am
zoozzoom
Would not like someone round my place valuing my things. Hope they are not there long, Ruby.
3:47 am
rubyfoo
The Tour was less interesting because my "horse" in the race was Valverde, who didn't have a chance. But the scenery was magnifique!!
3:48 am
rubyfoo
My dog is having a lot of trouble with this, protcting me. He takes his job VERY sriously
3:48 am
zoozzoom
Good that might make them hurry up a bit then lol
3:49 am
rubyfoo
How are you, zooz, enjoying this wonderful weathr?
3:50 am
zoozzoom
I am well thank you, Ruby. The weather here is not what it was a week ago but still pleasant at the moment. Would like it atad warmer but still around 19-21c
3:51 am
zoozzoom
Now if it was 27-35c I would be happy :-)
3:53 am
rubyfoo
Here, it's perfect. A little bit hotin the afternoons, but coolenough at night. I keep the house wide open.
3:55 am
zoozzoom
Is that safe to do that where you are. Could not do that here.
3:55 am
rubyfoo
Believe it or not, the garden could use some rain. But I have all the ripe figs I can eat and/or give away.
3:55 am
rubyfoo
I think my largee dogs make me less of a target.
3:56 am
zoozzoom
Well at least you will be going regular then LOL with all those figs.
3:56 am
rubyfoo
They sleep most of the day but appear to be en garde all night. I'm not worriednabout that, just about everything else LOL
3:57 am
rubyfoo
The figs don't do that, malheureusement; I think I probably take too much morphine
3:58 am
zoozzoom
wow that is a long word just to say sadly LOL
3:58 am
rubyfoo
sorry, too engrossed
3:58 am
rubyfoo
I've begun thinkingin French and have to translate on the rare occasions when I'm with an anglophone
3:59 am
zoozzoom
Well you have live in France a long time, Ruby, so I am not surprised.
4:06 am
zoozzoom
I was with my father the other day in a supermarket and a tin of peas had no price on them so i asked a shop assistant who was near by how much they were. He had such a strong scottish accent that I just could not understand what he was saying. I kept say pardon and he was getting annoyed with me. i was rather embarrassed by it all in the end. I mean Scotland is part of the UK and I felt bad that I could not understand him.
4:07 am
zoozzoom
We got there in the end though :-)
4:08 am
rubyfoo
Iknow exactly what you mean. When I was still in the US, I had clients in the South with whomI could have used an interpreter!
4:10 am
rubyfoo
It varies here. Mostpeople understand me, but now and then, somebody with a prejudice against Americans, will blatantly refuse to. Fortunatytely, that happenns rarely and since virtually no one speaks English here ( except skiers and friends fromthe UK and Ireland), the French appreciate my efforts, accented as they are
4:10 am
zoozzoom
I always have had a huge respect for people who can speak more than their native tongue. I have given french,dutch and german a go but I am no good at it.
4:11 am
zoozzoom
I bet your french is better than you think it is, Ruby!
4:12 am
rubyfoo
I had a lot of French in school, but never really spoke it untilI startted coming to France in my 20''s, then it became a necessity because I was with my baby son.
4:13 am
zoozzoom
Ys i think the best way to learn a language is to live in that country. It kind of forces you to learn it rather quicker than you would in a class in your own country.
4:13 am
zoozzoom
So sorry for the typos.
4:13 am
rubyfoo
I don't translate when I speak, but I think I probably have a bad accent because my first Fr teacher, when I was 11, was fromthe Bronx. My English is without accent, but that took a year of corrective speech toget the New York out of itt.
4:15 am
rubyfoo
Almost everyone understands me herte and they are very sweet about it.
4:15 am
rubyfoo
(sorry for the typos)
4:16 am
zoozzoom
Well like you said, Ruby, they appreciate that you try and plus you have chosen to live there too!
4:16 am
zoozzoom
Have don't worry about your typos, Ruby.
4:16 am
rubyfoo
And none of my French friends speaks English.
4:17 am
zoozzoom
Sorry to leave you, Ruby. But I need t go and sort parents meal out for lunch time. It was very nice to see you though ((Ruby))
4:18 am
zoozzoom
That must be hard at times, Ruby. But you seem to get on well despite no one there speaks your native tongue.
4:18 am
zoozzoom
Bye for now.
4:25 am

My sister is here and we are watching some TV, but I am constantly distracted.
8:17 am

I miss my Babble buddies so I really wanted to try to do this.
8:17 am

you've probably already learned how precious a private moment in the bathroom is
8:17 am
Judi
Courage, Scrabbler. Your karma rating is now off the charts.
8:17 am
72 Temple Owl
and how goes the practical vs. the theoretical?
8:19 am
Scrabbler
We are watching a documentary on thunderstorms because Jax loves them.
8:20 am
Scrabbler
I would not try this if I were the only adult. The only time I can be on the computer is at work.
8:22 am
72 Temple Owl
how about naptime? bedtime?
8:25 am
Scrabbler
After they fall asleep I make their lunches and snacks for day care, shower, then go to bed. I am exhausted.
8:28 am
72 Temple Owl
i am sure you are.
8:28 am
72 Temple Owl
but it seems god had a plan for you.
8:31 am
Scrabbler
The boys are very happy here and get love, discipline, and a daily routine. Their day care center is excellent and Jax's speech has improved dramatically in the last 2 weeks while being with peers.
8:31 am
72 Temple Owl
that is wonderful news
8:32 am
72 Temple Owl
i think you will find shortcuts and new ways as you go on
8:32 am
Scrabbler
Now, will their parents grow up, become mature and responsible as parents??
8:32 am
72 Temple Owl
and of course, they will grow and change and everything will evolve
8:32 am
72 Temple Owl
let's hope so.
8:33 am
Scrabbler
I am calm and consistent with discipline whereas the parents are impatient yellers.
8:33 am
welki
not surprised that the boys are thriving in your care, scrabb - too bad the parents don't have an aunt they can go live with to learn how to be adults
8:33 am
Judi
How are the bunnies getting along with the boys?
8:34 am
Judi
Fireworks, by the way. The grid's a bit of a yawner today.
8:34 am
Scrabbler
Poor Remy, the free-range bunny, runs away from the boys.
8:34 am
Scrabbler
Congrats,Judi.
8:34 am
72 Temple Owl
wish i could yawn my way to the last 9
8:34 am
Judi
Hmm. Not surprising. Lots of extra noise in the house. Not something the buns are used to.
8:35 am
72 Temple Owl
have you had to evict any of them to give the boys their rooms?
8:37 am
Judi
Off to breakfast. Y'all have a great weekend!
8:38 am
72 Temple Owl
lol just heard a teaser on the news about a mother hypnotizing her kids.
8:40 am
72 Temple Owl
stats for the 7 other than the en7 pls?
8:41 am
Scrabbler
No. I had an extra room next to mine and put the crib and twin bed in there.
8:42 am
Scrabbler
I need to learn that skill,Owl.
8:42 am
72 Temple Owl
that is helpful. and the boys are probably used to sleeping in the same room. they are happy, you are doing a good job

hi there
9:33 am
Scrabbler
I was doing a bit of cleaning.
9:34 am
Scrabbler
How are you and Dylan? Did you get a 2nd dog?
9:35 am
rururocks
we're fine.. Dylan has been doing much better. No second dog yet.. still construction going on over here.. and yard landscaping to be done
9:35 am
rururocks
we have setbacks still.. but they're minor compared to what I was dealing with before.
9:37 am
Scrabbler
Bad allergy issues, just like we see in kids.
9:38 am
rururocks
yes.. he is on allergy shots now.. we're hoping in six months they will start to knock that back
9:39 am
Scrabbler
We see some kids with just horrendous eczema and it is as though they are allergic to everything in the environment and every food.
9:41 am
rururocks
we discovered what Dylan was allergic to.. mostly grasses and molds.. and a few other weird stuff.
9:42 am
rururocks
so from reading your posts.. the boys have the bedroom next to yours?
9:45 am
rururocks
have the parents seen them? Or are they not allowed to right now? I'm just curious
9:45 am
Scrabbler
Yes, perpendicular to mine, at end of the hallway.
9:45 am
rururocks
good.. you can hear what they're up to :D
9:46 am
Scrabbler
Their mother has seen them twice weekly, under my supervision,but visits with their father,my nephew, have not yet been arranged. Those visits will be at a social services agency and also supervised but not by me due to the order of protection.
9:47 am
rururocks
your nephew sounds like a winner... jeezus
9:49 am
Scrabbler
I am very disappointed in who he is at this time, at age 28. But I remind myself that we are all works in progress and he has the choice to mature and to become respectful and responsible. He does not have to be his father but so far he is even worse.
9:49 am
rururocks
yep.. coming from an abusive home.. I completely understand that
9:50 am
rururocks
sometimes those "lessons" from the father go very deep. I am sure that's why I never had kids to repeat the process
9:52 am
Scrabbler
Me too. But my middle and youngest nephews are so different. They have all suffered and experienced abuse, but have responded to it in different ways.
9:53 am
rururocks
Neglect and apathy towards the kids are deep scars. This I know
9:54 am
Scrabbler
Me too. We have multigenerational issues here. Some of us are resilient, others are not.
9:57 am
rururocks
so true..
9:57 am
rururocks
your other sibling's kids have had issues too?
9:59 am
Scrabbler
I knew to not have kids as did another sister. The one sister that should never have had kids have 3. My brother still lives with my mother, never learned to drive, doesn't work...hermit...
10:00 am
rururocks
your brother is the father of these boys?
10:03 am
Scrabbler
No, my nephew.
10:03 am
rururocks
oh.. from the sister that should have never had kids?
10:04 am
Scrabbler
I must run to the post office to pick up a package. Take care,ruru.We are survivors.
10:04 am
Scrabbler
Yes, that sister should never have been a parent.
10:04 am
rururocks
ok.. thanks.. i'm sorry I'm not trying to pry.. but this is really interesting to me
10:43 am
TQ
I think lots of us have had messed up childhoods
10:46 am
TQ
I was brought up by grandparents. But my gran from as early as i can remember turned me against my mum,telling me she'd never wanted me.
10:47 am
TQ
It wasn't until she started doing this with my daughter that I realised what had happened all those years earlier.
10:59 am

I think parents should have to take tests by professionals to become parents. the world would have less people and better people

11:08 am

11:08 am
MollyL
I think it is very important to let go of the emotional baggage of your past so you can enjoy the gift of your present life. So many people drag the baggage of their past around with them far too long.
11:08 am
doseffing
... too true
11:12 am
rururocks
that's true molly.. but sometimes the past has a weird way of popping up at inopportune times
11:14 am
kje
I think it depends on the past - some things have done damage at a level that is much harder "to let go of" at both a conscious and definitely the unconscious state. That is easier said than done for many
11:14 am
MollyL
I believe that is the process of what Carline Myss calls "living in your wounds" instead of living in a healing place.
11:15 am
rururocks
that's kind of true for me KJE.. it's the unconscious stuff that gets to me
11:16 am
kje
you can believe that, but platitudes are not backed uop by teh research with thiese groups that show that what happens at young ages can impact future lives in ways we can't even completely measure
11:16 am
MollyL
I disagree. There are people who have lived horrible pasts (incest, Auschwitz survivors, etc) who have decided to let go of that horror and live in the present moment. And they are not "platitudes" thanks. I have done plenty of research on this subject myself.
11:17 am
kje
and that is wonderful for them, but that is not the case for everyone... and that does not mean others are somehow hanging onto baggage or not choosing hard enough to let go
11:19 am
rururocks
there are people who do hang on to baggage.. like my brother.. they never dig themselves out. I chose not to live damaged.. and tried to move on.. but once in a while.. weird stuff comes up..it's like a bad dream or something
11:20 am
doseffing
... 9 left but they won't come without a list so time for lunch and the ball game and if it doesn't rain the lawnmower ... ... ... luck to all
11:20 am
MollyL
And I never said that "others are somehow hanging onto baggage or not choosing hard enough to let go." I suggested that letting go was a more healthy option than living your entire life as a VICTIM.
11:20 am
kje
enjoy, dosef!
11:20 am
rururocks
all American day for dose
11:21 am

Everyone has a choice. They can choose to continue living in wounds of the past, or choose to heal and move forward. I think many people have found a comfort zone in being a victim. Just my opinion. No one is required to agree with it or think it is right.

I disagree with the language, Ru... it is a blame the victim language that says only someone with great strength, etc... I understand that is the language that has been used for years, but it is also language that mental health professionals have bene trying hard to change - but it is so ingrained. So one soldier comes home with PTSD and recovers to a normal life, and another does not fair so well and is still fighting demons homeless on the street years later.... it isn't that easy
11:24 am

I feel like a nosy person, but getting glimpes of others' lives and attitudes is fascinating.
11:26 am

That I don't know much about the PTSD.. that's for sure.. I was just relating to my situation growing up
11:26 am

I had wonderful parents and a lovely, hard-working childhood, but still had issues to resolves with a therapist. Fortunately, all the good stuff prepared me for the difficult parts now.
11:27 am
MollyL
No one, especially not mental health professionals is trying to "blame the victim". The discussion in the mental health field has been about whether or not someone continues to identify as a victim.

Molly - they have a great influence on our country ... when you sleep next to an elephant and all that
12:38 pm
cybernan
everything your government does influences our country and let's be honest -- Trump is a threat to the entire world
12:38 pm
MollyL
Honestly, I have not seen anything that affects Canada from a US President in years.
12:39 pm
cybernan
then you certainly don't understand our economics
12:39 pm
cybernan
or world politics for that matter
12:40 pm
MollyL
I understand both of those things very well.
12:40 pm

Funny how no one was worried about our current President.
12:40 pm
cybernan
then you should understand why Canadians in particular as well as the rest of this world are following this election.
12:41 pm
cybernan
Because Obama is sensible and tried to do a lot of good for your country in spite of the Republican's despicable behaviour in congress
12:43 pm

Oh my, that line of thinking will continue until Obama retires on a golf course somewhere, as the most ineffective President of these United States.
WAH!!! It was all the Republican's fault!!!!

ch1212
Molly, sometimes I wonder if you really don't understand certain things you make statements about, or if you are just pot-stirring for fun. With the first one I think, 'okay, she just hasn't informed herself, and given the tone of her statement, I am not sure she wants to' .... with the second one I think, 'okay...I'm not going to play.' In either case, as a Babbler who celebrates the daily kindness and support of our oneline community, sometimes, like today, it's hard for me not to respond.
12:47 pm
ch1212
I sincerely hope I'm not being too harsh. I do enjoy your company here, but feel the need to speak up.
12:48 pm
MollyL
Ch, I understand a lot of things. And I am very informed about the politics of my country. I state an opinion here when there is an actual adult conversation (not weather or kitties). Interesting how you say you "celebrate daily kindness" after your last post.
12:49 pm
ch1212
I know what you mean, Molly, and I did think hard about that last sentence before including it.
12:50 pm

No problem. I get that you are a "friend of Crosshair" and feel the need to make disparaging comments about me whenever possible. I really don't care about that.

Listen you guys. This whole subject is very complicated. The problem here in America is that we are very frustrated with our politicians. They just don't feel they ever get anything done. Republicans or Democrats. I am sorry, Molly, though I am not afraid of Trump being President and I don't think he will be a disaster for many reasons I also don't think that you can say that Obama has not gotten anything done. He has done allot. And I do agree with you it is not all the Republicans fault. It takes two to tango.

But you can just say the Molly is uninformed. It is not a fair statement. There is way too many connections in the world and the world arena is way too complicated. None of us are completely informed. But unfortunately, we can't vote on what our politicians will do for Canada. That is not our job. We need to focus on what they will get done for America and hope for the best on the international arena.

Hilarious. I am "grossly uninformed" about the political climate of my country, but Canadians are "in the know".
I get great laughs from this chat.
1:46 pm
Nef
Molly, there are a lot of Canadians who are in the know about our politics; and our citizens are very divided & may just see the one side of US politics that they favor.
1:48 pm
Nef
There is no better way to explain the contrast in how the Rep & Dem conventions presented such completely opposite views of our country; especially looking at employment & crime rates
1:51 pm
MollyL
Thank you Marc for your comments. It never ceases to amaze me that people in other countries consider themselves experts on the American political scenario.
1:58 pm
IndiaJan
yes Molly, people outside your Country take an active interest..I have studied US politics extensively as it relates to Canada..so yes...I am an expert..but thanks for the insult
2:08 pm
MollyL
No insult intended. I'm just wondering how US politics relates to Canada. Other than NAFTA, which is largely ignored, and border crossing issues. I just don't see how US politics affects Canadians.
2:08 pm
hego
Well, I see not much has changed since my computer 's been down.
2:08 pm
MollyL
But then, as previously state, I am "grossly misinformed"
2:13 pm
Nef
NAFTA, Keystone Pipeline, NATO, TPP, the Middle East, The United Nations; all of these are things that affect Canadians.
2:17 pm
Nef
Hi hero; how are you today?
2:17 pm

got a cold. How are you and DH?
2:19 pm

Doing better with the lower temperatures; hot & muggy isn't our type of weather these days.
2:20 pm

Glad to hear better. :)
2:20 pm
hego
Love the way auto correct has made me a hero.
2:21 pm
Nef
Boy! I keep forgetting to pl & pt words today!
Oops! Sorry about the hero;but maybe that's what you are in real life! ;-)
2:22 pm
MollyL
Yes Nef. All of those things affect Canadian citizens. And yet the Canadian government does nothing about them. No wonder Canadian citizens are so interested in American politics.
2:23 pm
hego
Nef, all nurses are heros in a small quiet way.
2:26 pm
Nef
The Canadian government does more than you think, Molly. But because we, in the US, are so well-covered by our media 24/7, we kind of develop a narcissistic view of the world & really believe that we *are* the center of the world.
2:26 pm
IndiaJan
oh my ...i was wrong about you being grossly uninfomed..i am changing my opinion to ignorant of anything being your border...and actually im not sure you are even aware of what is transpiring within your borders.
2:28 pm
hego
Nef, you are right, we are egocentric.
2:28 pm
MollyL
Hi India Jan...*Strikes up a chorus of OH CANADA
2:29 pm
Nef
I used to live just south the Canadian border & listened to CBC from Winnipeg & Calgary (they often came in clearer than anything for the big cities here in the US) & I was amazed by their news in comparison our "local" stations back then.
2:29 pm
hego
I have always been impressed in my travels by how well informed people in other countries are. If you want a perfect example watch BBC news sometime.
2:29 pm
MollyL
I find it very sad that American citizens find their country egocentric. But then I find the voting habits of American citizens pretty sad as well. No wonder other countries think we are fools.
2:30 pm
Nef
egocentric was the word I was looking for; that fits better than narcissistinc
2:32 pm
Nef
I watch & listen BBC news a lot; I prefer BBC & MPR for radio stations both in the car & our home than other "talk radio"

2:40 pm

How is it "mean-spirited" (I love that, used all over the internet when people are pissed off) to state my opinion about something? Like my opinion or don't like it, but get a grip and quit acting like I'm attacking you when I'm not.
2:45 pm
Soodle
Note to self:- Don't just read the last post before posting a banality. Beware of ongoing hostilities....
2:47 pm
IndiaJan
passive agressive posts intended to bait me. this started when I pointed out that you seem uninformed about the world outside your borders...this is a fact. there is no shame in that. The shame is thinkng you know all..when you dont..and to insult those who may be more informed. if you i called you mean spirited because i am loathe to use the word I actually thought...
2:48 pm
IndiaJan
Soodle - i love my wood floors as well..no more carpet..ever
2:51 pm
MollyL
I love the over use of passive-aggressive too.
India, if you want to engage in an adult conversation about politics, grow up. Try stating your opinion without slamming someone who doesn't agree with you.
2:52 pm
IndiaJan
how about twat? i bet you find that over used as well
2:53 pm
Nef
Hi again. I thank Goodness for Resolve carpet cleaner! It has to absorb the spill (for a while now that I've brushed it in) then I can vacuum.
Soodle, all of the rest of the house has oak floors which we've just had refinished; but the family room has carpeting because kids sit on the floor & also there is ugly plywood as a base floor here (1970's addition)
2:57 pm
Soodle
Yay for Resolve Carpet cleaner!! Interestingly, there's a product on the market in this part of the world called 'resolve', but it's marketed ad
2:57 pm

No, twat is only over used by you and your friend Carlee.

3:17 pm
Nef
Molly, I was NOT calling you an idiot; and I meant that you may not have intended it; but you did come across as being rather rude. (saying things that may be hurtful to someone who isn't in the US like Canadian government doesn't do anything)
3:17 pm

Actually, Molly, I'm not sure that you really DO know how you sound...

Oh, I was rude. I did not call India "mean spirited". I did not call her "grossly misinformed". I just said what I had to say. And YES Soodle, I am very well aware of how I sound. It's just not acceptable here because people don't like a controversial chat.

Soodle, I'll pray for her. Geriatrics don't always do well with anesthesia; DH's Aunt came out of hip surgery & I got called to the recovery room because she'd grabbed her IV bag & was swinging it at the nurses! It took her 3 weeks to recover mentally from the temporary dementia from it! (And you should hear the stories she told while confused!!! 8-o

Am having problems with lickety. Have done a bulk grab but it isn't adding the second ve, which I have got. Also I don't seem to be able to find the last word for fireworks. Apart from the second ve4, none of the other words need ticking, yet I have one word left to get (on the grid for fireworks) but I don't know what it is!!!!!
3:47 pm
lilliann
Adds to the spice of life!

That's happened to me before Worzel. I had to reenter every word into lickety to find the missing one.
3:50 pm
worzel
ori i did it via bulk grab and babble says im missing a t, but lickety says I have them all
3:50 pm
lilliann
I can't believe it took me so long to get the last 2x4 words and a 5.They were staring me right in the face!!
3:51 pm
lilliann

I once used Vanish (stain remover) on my hob (stove) by mistake. I'm still looking for it.
3:55 pm
mattygroves
Part of that story is true.
3:55 pm
Nef
What did it do matty?
3:55 pm
lilliann
The hob Matty?
3:55 pm
Soodle
Which part, Matty?
3:56 pm
Nef
DUH!!! That's funny now that I realized it's a joke!
3:56 pm
origami
Ha Matty :-)
3:56 pm
mattygroves
Hah. Actually, it worked really well, but was a pain to get all the foam off. But the joke was that the brand is called Vanish....so my hob...well...vanished?!
3:56 pm
lilliann
Duh!! lol Matty
3:57 pm
lilliann
I like vanish
3:57 pm
Soodle
This is the Babble I knew & loved!!!! 😄
3:57 pm
mattygroves
It was spray stuff meant for carpet stains but it was the same colour bottle as the Cilit Bang (kitchen cleaner) so...well...
3:58 pm
mattygroves
I did see the earlier chat, and as an American who has lived in the UK for 28 years I was tempted to pitch in. I resisted. It seemed the best 'way forward' as the young people say ;)
3:58 pm
mattygroves
Lillann, try it on your hob sometime. If you don't mind loads of rinses, it works wonders.
3:58 pm
lilliann
Am off to stuff my face and watch 'the Spy'. Too much excitement for me here tonight!! :D Night all and tc
3:59 pm
Soodle
Night Hin! X

lilliann
Soods, i'm going to get on my scooter and do wheelies after to get rid of some calories.I hope the neighbours don't mind me go 'whee' up and down the road at about midnight!
4:02 pm
Nef
LOL, lilli! Just be careful you don't tip!
4:03 pm
lilliann
Nef, i could have given Evil Kenevil a run for his money!! :D
4:04 pm
Soodle
Lili- you do that!! And be assured I'll be with you in spirit. (In spirit, I say, cos I don't want to be arrested!!)!
4:05 pm
Nef
DH has had some spills with his scooter. Not good for either the scooter or him!
4:06 pm
lilliann
LOL Soodle.They won't know it's me as i'll wear a balaclava :)
4:07 pm
Soodle
I've met 2 Babblers to date. Top of my list of Babblers I want to meet next are Nef & Lil.
4:07 pm
lilliann
Sorry to hear that Nef.They can run away with you at times.Mine certainly does when the bairn sits on my lap and drives if i'm bad or my fingers are hurting, i get alot whiplash when she drives!
4:08 pm
lilliann
Definitely off now.Bye all and tc again
4:09 pm
lilliann
Ahh, Thanks Soods :) The bairn wants to go to Ireland as her dad is there alot, especially this year and wants him to take us and show us all the places he goes to, so hopefully we will meet at some point
4:09 pm
Soodle
Balaclava-wearing mooning gnome!!! Yeah, Lilli. Nobody will know you!!!!
4:09 pm
Nef
Aww, thanks, Soodle! I'd love to meet you too.
4:10 pm
lilliann
If i drive it with my butt and draw some hair and a tash, they'll think i'm someone else :)
4:10 pm
Soodle
((((Nef))))
4:12 pm
Soodle
Lol!!! Lil... Come on over! We'll have a laugh!!!
4:14 pm
lilliann
Saying that, that'll be no good, i'm not good at going backwards.I'll just add a noisy smuggler(is that what you call one)? the noisy exhausts the boy racers have and no-one will know it's me they'll just think it's one of them :)
4:15 pm
lilliann
We would Soods.I'll try and get something
4:15 pm
lilliann
oops, as soon as i know what hubby is doing in the winter, we could arrange something.
4:16 pm
m9f9l
hello! Are there any da words?
4:17 pm
Soodle
Please do, Lil. I'd sell my soul to meet ya!!! And - at least 2 Babblers can confirm I'm not a mad ax-murderer!
4:18 pm
Nef
Good to know, Soodle. I'd hate to meet you if you were!
4:22 pm
Soodle
Lol Nef! This is the internet!!! You just NEVER know!
4:23 pm
m9f9l
2 left without list... wonder if I can find them!
4:23 pm
Nef
True; isn't stid the one who posted that at some point?
4:24 pm
Soodle
But at least Riverdance & Trifiso can confirm that I'm a person!!
4:26 pm
IndiaJan
i have met riverdance as well...she can vouch for me too!
4:27 pm
m9f9l
I've met Stid. That was fun :-)
4:28 pm
Nef
I've met UUSue & she's real too
4:28 pm
mattygroves
I'm real. But no-one in the chog (but some non-chog babblers) have met me
4:28 pm
IndiaJan
where are you matty?
4:29 pm
mattygroves
I live outside London in Wraysbury (London, England, not London Ontario)
4:29 pm
Nef
And I've met RoundBarn; she's really real also.
4:31 pm
IndiaJan
not a lot of babblers from England?
4:31 pm
mattygroves
There are a few - often on earlier though, as we're at least 5 hours ahead of North America.
4:31 pm
mattygroves
Plus a few from Scotland, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Wales and the like.
4:32 pm
IndiaJan
then you guys need to plan a party :)
4:33 pm
mattygroves
T'would be nice - though some of the distances (especially with British motorways) can be non-trivial (I know it doesn't seem it but it's a different world here ;) )
4:33 pm
mattygroves
I used to write on a few review websites (Dooyoo, Ciao and the ilk) and we did do a few meet ups with those folk. I even wrote a review of THIS site ;)
4:34 pm
mattygroves
As did another Babbler, whom I got into Babble and into Ciao - though she doesn't chog here. Plays every day though, and finishes every day
4:35 pm
m9f9l
fw. no list but used morewords for those last two,,
4:35 pm
IndiaJan
well its definitely smaller and closer than here..but i can appreciate the traffic issues.
4:35 pm
IndiaJan
yahoo m9
4:35 pm
mattygroves
Well, yes! Many Americans (bearing in mind I am a displaced American - grew up in NY) forget that Canada is geographically bigger than the US
4:36 pm
IndiaJan
with a way smaller population...
4:38 pm
mattygroves
Yeah - you have got those crazy cold bits, though ;) I went to Expo 86 in Vancouver and met loads from the further north places, away from the US. Slightly scary, in that some actually had an accent like Bob and Doug McKenzie's (complete with the 'ay' at the end of sentences). I thought that was a myth like thinking all Irish say 'beggorah'
4:39 pm
IndiaJan
i know whatcha mean eh
4:39 pm
mattygroves
But do you go 'out and aboot'?
4:40 pm
IndiaJan
well I don't but my neighbour does
4:41 pm
mattygroves
My dad said that I sound like an American trying to put on an English accent...badly. I've been here so long I now have wandering accent syndrome
4:42 pm
Nef
(sorry, had a phone call from a friend who just got back from Alaska). I lived about 180 miles from Winnipeg, & I heard lots of eh?'s at the ends of sentences (& we even would pick that up ourselves at times); but I never heard "out & about" until I met a friend from Montreal
4:42 pm
IndiaJan
i know what you mean..i lived long enough in northern quebec that i picked up a french accent..
4:43 pm
Nef
But then again, most Minnesotans don't talk like the actors in the movie "Fargo" - unless they're from the Iron Range area
4:43 pm
mattygroves
My daughter's accent is 100% British - admittedly, her dad's British, she went to school here and so forth. You'd have no idea she has an American mother
4:44 pm
Nef
"Wandering accent syndrome" -- I like that term! :-)
4:44 pm
IndiaJan
i love the accent in fargo
4:45 pm
m9f9l
My brother lived in St. Johns Newfoundland before he passed away. He picked up the "eh?" habit.
4:45 pm
mattygroves
I have been known to say 'innit' (isn't it) - a very London usage
4:46 pm
IndiaJan
newfoundland is a whole different can of worms..
4:47 pm
IndiaJan
i dont understand a lot of what they say..lol
4:47 pm
mattygroves
That's like when I hear people from either Glasgow or Newcastle. They could be speaking Klingon for all I know (especially strong Newcastle)
4:48 pm
Nef
I never saw the movie (I don't care for them if they have suspense or violence); but we once were Walleye fishing on a boat launch & there were some young guys whose accents were so thick (like "Fargo" that my husband & his friend were laughing about it; so I do know how it sounds
4:49 pm
Nef
(they were laughing because it was so interesting to hear; not to make fun of them. The young men were totally unaware of how they sounded to the rest of us.
4:54 pm
mattygroves
Fireworks! That's be done for the night - have a great rest of your day, whatever time it is where you live
4:55 pm
