1:26 am

1:27 am
sprite

very rewarding, rose :) Well done you.
My night was ok. Slept most of it, not too much pain.
1:28 am
grannyrose

ahhh good. i prescribe a day out with dienie at least once per week.
1:28 am
sprite

that would be awesome :)
1:30 am
sprite

how's the ole body holding up?
1:31 am
grannyrose

good all things considered. still able to make decisions and get stuff don....although the government forms are still waiting. I HATE FILLING OUT FORMS!!!!
1:32 am
sprite

I hear ya, hun. They make our brains go dead and our eyes goldfishy
1:32 am
grannyrose

ahem... that is done... could do don then i would be done don... lolll
1:33 am
sprite

don should do them, don't ever doubt it.
1:33 am
grannyrose

well i have lost my grandmother's hat size....
1:34 am
sprite

ummm what does that mean?
1:35 am
grannyrose

it's just a piece of fun, tongue in cheek style. the laugh is that you have to have that info in order to complete any government form.
1:35 am
sprite

ahhhh now I get it. Sorry, still early here ;)
1:36 am
grannyrose

np's. it's a bit of obscure australiana.
1:37 am
sprite

we have something similar here. It goes like: Born... yes. And then 'geslacht' which is dutch for gender, but also past particle for to butcher... so after 'Geslacht' we fill in 'not yet'.
1:37 am
grannyrose

just making sure you are hedgimacated.
1:38 am
grannyrose

roflolll
1:38 am
sprite

hedgimacated? Educated? Housebroken but then within the borders of the garden?
1:39 am
grannyrose

yup. you like it?
1:39 am
sprite

very nice :D
1:41 am
sprite

more iffy... hinkier. Why isn't it valid?
1:43 am
grannyrose

hinkier??? what's a hink?
1:44 am
sprite

you mean 'hinky' is not an english word? As in 'this is iffy... this is hinky'?
1:45 am
grannyrose

i haven't heard of it. but is not to say it isn't.
1:45 am
sprite

checked and it is. *miffed* I want hinkier!
1:45 am
sprite

"hinky - Wiktionary
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/hinky
(comparative hinkier or more hinky, superlative hinkiest or most hinky). (informal) Acting suspiciously; strange, unusual; acting in a manner as if having...
1:46 am
grannyrose

new word for me. thanx sprite
1:46 am
sprite

and there we have the reason it doesn't take. It is informal. Enable doesn't do informal. Just obsolete and foreign, but not informal.
1:47 am
grannyrose

but it does do argot or slang... fine line enable is reading.
1:47 am
sprite

*giggles* Anytime, dear. (Now I feel like I managed to teach my granny to suck eggs)
1:48 am
sprite

enable is the most random wordlist there is
1:48 am
grannyrose

yuch!!! sucking eggs.... now blowing is different.....
1:49 am
sprite

come on, swallow, honey... it ain't battery acid...
1:50 am
grannyrose

with my gag reflex.?????... not even my best friend would let my play chubby bunnies
1:50 am
sprite

lol and wo7 is valid.
1:50 am
sprite

*hugs rose* Just pulling your leg. You can spit it out, no problem.
1:51 am
grannyrose

hmmmm...... nope better not to mention that here. ruru might get the right idea...
1:52 am
sprite

*grins* For some reason that reminded me of another dutch joke... when someone is smoking a pipe... we say "Two ugly heads on one stem"
1:53 am
grannyrose

oh dear lord... LOLOLLLLLL
1:54 am
sprite

dutch is pretty good at insults, lol
1:58 am
grannyrose

btw, the two soups i served i had never made before. i wanted to see the reactions before i sent the recipes.
1:58 am
sprite

yeah, I was hoping they'd turn out well. Giefff, woman!

and as usual, my last one was a biggie
2:00 am
grannyrose

young Tim told his mother to get the recipe from me. that was the tomato and orange. personally i am going to leave out the orange rind next time and just use the juice. it was nice but it had an unexpected zing with the rind.
2:00 am
grannyrose

Hello zoozzoom and aeb and mf9 - much giggles here in Liverpool at the puns - made my day they did. I shall need something to laugh at tomorrow and Sunday as we have a FusionFestival (Olly Murs et al) happening in our local park about 500 yards away. The sound- test is going on now and wow all my ornaments are trying to leap off the windowsill.
12:18 pm

Hello, Scouser! Sorry to hear that the venue is close to you. Here when the Isle of Wight festival is on..people who live near by get free tickets to go to it.

jada and xena and kipas and alex - go take another hit on the crack pipe and then breath real deep. repeat 30 times until you pass out. Believe me, everyone here will then like you.

telling kids to kill themselves, even jokingly, is not prob in the best taste

kipas

please don't lump me with those clowns. I made an honest mistake.
4:42 pm
kje

usual method for dealing is 1) ignore, 2) notify Dr. God and he'll block them... re question, no Dr. God does not monitor chat, though he will, if notified, block access
4:43 pm
KnightTime

i did not ask them to kill themselves
4:43 pm

thanks kje.

I guess asking them to take crack until they pass out came across as such to me, KT.
4:46 pm
kje

there used to be a link under the grid on how to play/rules... I don't see it now. What was that link? anyone remember?
4:46 pm
KnightTime

i just figured from their repulsive attitude that that was an activity they were familiar with
4:48 pm
MollyL

This is not a bunch of random trolls. If they know about Dr. God, I would guess this is a bunch of people who harbor a grudge against Babble chat.
4:49 pm

There is no link under the grid about how to play. the HELP link at the top of chat explains the game and how it works and scores.

4:53 pm
MollyL

Knight, just for the record, I didn't take your comment as suggesting suicide.
4:59 pm
kje

the reaction to crack cocaine is not passing out - it is a stimulant. When over-dosed, your heart rate speeds up excessively, your blood pressure spikes, some may get hyper-active or psychotic, and it causes heart attacks. Unlike heroin which is a depressant and people pass out, cocaine is the opposite. If you know the drug, then his comment can mean nothing else. But even if not meant that way, I don't think I would ever tell someone to go take a bunch of drugs, even if I did think they use them at baseline. I understand the frustration with trolls, though my usual response is to ignore them, but the comment is rather harsh.
5:00 pm
kje

I'm off. HAGD all
5:01 pm
MollyL

I think comments like the one Knight made are not to be taken so seriously. If, in frustration with someone, you suggest that they go jump off a cliff, it's not really meant as "go kill yourself".
5:06 pm
Soodle

Sorry I missed you Kje. I agree with Molly in that I don't believe KnightTime's comment was an incitement to suicide. The poor trolls, bless them, are probably off their faces already.

My Mom died when I was 8; that was hard; my Grandmom died when I was 19; I was very close to her and I still miss both of them a lot.

I also wonder, Nef, what I would have been like had my father lived. I am sure I would have had a very different life.
10:23 pm
grannyrose

it was nef. i think it may have had something to do with my decision to become a nurse. i wanted to help people like my grandparents did. they were such kind people.
10:24 pm
origami

I had one grandparent. She was freaking awesome. She raised four boys during the great depression by herself with no resources. She worked 3 or 4 jobs. She was a force of nature
10:25 pm
origami

Well, I mean I had one grandparent I knew.
10:29 pm
Nef

Same here. When my mom died; she was supposed to be in the hospital for 6 months on bedrest (we're talking 1950's here) because she had a bbad heart. the year before she died she'd lost a set of premie twins right at thanksgiving; so when she found out she had to be in the hospital again over the holidays; she asked her mom & her sister to give us the kind of Christmas she had as a child. So they brought the 5 of us kids from Montana to Minnesota for Christmas; then she died January 10th. We didn't hear from our dad again for 4 years.
10:30 pm
Nef

That is lovely, granny.
10:31 pm
Nef

and origami, my hubby's grandmother raised 5 girls through the depression on her own too; her husband died in a farm accident before the last girl was even born!
10:32 pm

And I know that I became a nurse (& specialized in CV-ICU for 34 years!!) due to my mom's death
10:34 pm

HI, sorry, had to step away. Mom never remarried. In my eyes, nobody could have ever come close to the wonderful of my father. She once told me she didn't remarry because nobody would have been good enough for me :-)
10:45 pm
Nef

Wow. That's a heavy thought for you!
10:45 pm
origami

And it is small world. My grandfather died from a farm accident also. I guess there were a lot of them back then.
10:46 pm
Nef

My grandfather died during WWII working in a tow mill and a bale of flax dropped on his head & killed him! (he was too old to enlist)
10:47 pm
origami

It was OK Nef. I never felt any guilt about that. Because she had a lot of time after I grew up to marry, but she never did. But she was a tough, head-strong woman. She told me once that there weren't many men who could take her on.
10:47 pm
Nef

so it wasn't exactly a farm accident; but was definitely farm related
10:48 pm
Nef

Did she enjoy her life, origami?
10:49 pm
origami

Wow, my father's father died when he fell off the top of a silo. I guess that's a farming accident?
10:50 pm
Nef

Farming IS dangerous! But it was much more dangerous "in the olden days" I'd guess!
10:51 pm
origami

My mother had a really tragic life nef. She tried to enjoy it, but she lost two children and her beloved husband. If you were asking about my grandmother, she definitely enjoyed life. She had many grandchildren she enjoyed. She taught me how to cook, crochet, play poker. I loved her so.
10:51 pm
Nef

(my elderly cat is inside a grocery bag & beating it up! I guess even at somewhere around 17 years old she's still just a kitten at heart!)
10:52 pm

Oh, MY! Origami; how did your siblings die? (if I may be so bold...)
10:55 pm
origami

Yes, Nef. Both of my siblings died. One (I was really close to) died when she was 28 from a previously undiagnosed congenital heart defect. I was devastated because she was like a second mother to me. My other sister died the same year my mother and husband did. She died of a heart attack at 54. A very bad year for Sherrell.
10:55 pm

I'm so sorry for your losses, origami!
