12:23 am

Lizlin

Glad you were titillated by nan's find.

12:24 am

rururocks

I kept nippling at the to 7 until I found it

12:24 am

ursh

12:26 am

rururocks

to be honest liz.. I was hooting when I found it

12:27 am

Lizlin

I can't compete! I wish I was quicker at these puns cos they make me smile!

12:27 am

rururocks

normally I'm a boob at it too

12:27 am

Lizlin

Or, dare I say it, groan! How's the count going?

12:27 am

Lizlin

That's a groan there, by the way.

12:28 am

rururocks

tough year.. everyone is used to my sick humor now

12:28 am

jwr

I just monkeyed a drug. I think I'll retire to the PB and have a smoke . . . .

12:28 am

Lizlin

Still enjoy it though!

12:30 am

ursh

i cant find anything to smoke ?

12:30 am

Lizlin

Any other 7s found?

12:30 am

jwr

old Indian dream drug

12:31 am

ursh

stats jwr ?

12:31 am

jwr

pe6/27

12:32 am

Lizlin

Ah! Have that - never checked the meaning.

12:32 am

jwr

you can chew the "buttons" too.

12:32 am

jwr

now you know. It's an hallucinogen

12:33 am

Lizlin

I know it by it's other name

12:33 am

jwr

nasty taste though. What other name, Liz?

12:33 am

Lizlin

mescalin

12:34 am

Lizlin

It was in a song from the 70s - trying to remember the song

12:35 am

Lizlin

And failing - can't even remember the correct lyrics, so google isn't helping.

12:38 am

jwr

Once you have the melody, you have the lyrics. That;s why rap doesn't have the same effect. Mescaline comes from the peyote plant but they are slightly different alkaloids. the peyote itself is more complex ... (so I've heard . . .) . It's different the same way THC and marijuana are.

12:38 am

Lizlin

Happy Nightmare - Focus. So glad I found it.

12:38 am

jwr

Where did you find it Liz?

12:39 am

Lizlin

I googled 70s songs containing word mescaline and it came up. I could hear it in my mind.

12:40 am

Lizlin

Only once in a life, mescaline
Floating over a mountain, like to sea
Stop and faint at the sun, feel the blood through your arm
Only once in a life, mescaline

12:40 am

jwr

Ahh. I don't know much of anything American about the 70s; spent most of that decade in Japan.

12:40 am

Lizlin

They were a Dutch Rock band. I first came across them when I was still at school

12:40 am

jwr

Good grief! They weren't fooling around, those songsters.

12:40 am

Lizlin

In the UK

12:43 am

Lizlin

From the album In and Out of Focus - just listened on iTunes.

12:44 am

Lizlin

Time for a break.

12:45 am

jwr

Couldn't find it on YouTube but I found another of the same title. Hard rock, driving rhythm. Can't make out the lyrics but who cares. It's from 87 though.

12:45 am

jwr

That was fun, Liz. Thanks for the pointer.

12:45 am

Lizlin

I'll see if I can find it on YouTube and post the link if I can.

12:45 am

jwr

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=190bnN\nVuNYw

12:46 am

jwr

That's the one I found ... not yours. But still... it sounds as if it were 70s!

12:47 am

Lizlin

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKPViU\noatqw

12:48 am

Lizlin

I

12:48 am

Lizlin

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKPViU\noatqw - you'll need to take out the /n

12:49 am

Lizlin

Oops! Should've been a forward slash!

12:49 am

Lizlin

Alternatively go to Youtube music - and search Focus Happy Nightmare.

12:50 am

Lizlin

Back in a minute

12:50 am

jwr

group is Opal. Ah. I keep forgetting to put any links into TinyURL before posting on Babble. That takes out all the problems. see ya

12:53 am

cybernan

crashing -- good night

12:53 am

Lizlin

Don't like using tiny url - happier just to split the URL. Back for a few minutes. We're mad enough to feed the wild birds outside and they were creating havoc outside!

12:53 am

Lizlin

Sleep well nan

12:56 am

jwr

WOW. That was a one of the best descriptions of an acid trip I've ever heard. Night nan, Gotta go myself Liz. very nice joining up in the time-back machine.

12:58 am

Lizlin

Sleep well - it was fun

12:59 am

jwr

Going to work

1:01 am

jwr

Will get back on Babble in between calls. Makes the night ... more normal, less crazy.

1:28 am

sprite

good morning all

1:36 am

grannyrose

finally.... i have been popping in and out of here so much you can call me yo-yo.... {{sprite}} hugs and kisses sweetie.

1:37 am

sprite

*hugs yo-yo* Lovely to see you, my dear friend. Have had two days at Noud's, family constellations. How are you doing on your new meds?

1:38 am

grannyrose

really well. sleeping well, FM not rearing it's ugly head. exhausted though. Thom's Place Friday, all day selling raffle tickets at a local shopping centre Saturday. no church today. way too tired.

1:39 am

sprite

wow sweetie... I hope you are taking all the rest you can... you know you are overdoing things!
Good news about the FM pain, that is awesome.

1:39 am

grannyrose

when everyone asked Don where was I, and he told them what i had been doing and why i wasn't at hurch, apparently there were a lot of guilty faces.

1:40 am

grannyrose

*church*

1:40 am

sprite

it would be nice if they did not let it stop at the guilty face, but actually transformed it into some action.

1:41 am

grannyrose

yeah it would. next week i have something happening everyday....and there is nothing i can do about it. i will rest where i can...

1:42 am

sprite

how about standing up in church and asking: who is going to do A.? And who is going to do B.?

1:42 am

grannyrose

so... how did 'constellations' go ? with Rob's issues woven in ?

1:44 am

sprite

I didn't bring in a question, I just assisted. So no, nothing about Rob's situation. But it was an amazing two days. Very deep processes and baffling representations. Powerful.
I decided to stay home today, no meeting, body is hurting too much still. So that gives me a chance to play babble with you too :D

1:45 am

grannyrose

i am going to leave the "standing up in church' to Don. i am just too tired to handle it.

1:46 am

sprite

it would be a good thing if he did. Simply stating that there is more help needed to get everything done, and listing the tasks.

1:46 am

grannyrose

nice that you are here. xoxox

1:46 am

sprite

nice to be here :D I missed you. Will answer your email later today too.

1:47 am

grannyrose

np's honey. only if you feel you have to do so. just seeing you here is soooo good.

1:48 am

sprite

answering your email will be a pleasure, no worries.

1:50 am

sprite

when will your life go back to manageable activeness?

1:52 am

grannyrose

not for another 6 weeks or so. it's because i now have cardiac rehab Tuesdays, and lenten studies Wednesdays.after Easter all should settle a little.

1:52 am

sprite

all good things, but a bit too many. *sending rose a truckload of energy*

1:53 am

dizgrannie

Ru if you are around, remember 8am tomorrow morn my time.

1:55 am

grannyrose

diz, g'day honey. how are you doin?

1:57 am

dizgrannie

hey Rose, holding up ok...miss Hubby heaps, but have had g/kids staying with me to keep me on my toes.

1:57 am

grannyrose

poor sweetheart. i am sure you do. prayers and gentle hus heading your way.

1:58 am

grannyrose

2:06 am

grannyrose

BIG HUG for a lovely lad. xoxox

2:06 am

grannyrose

ugh *lady*

2:06 am

sprite

*amazed at how fast sex changes are made in babble*

2:08 am

flosey

not good tonight, went to bed 2 hours ago with a good strength sleeping pill but no go!!, bad headache but sleep eludes me

2:09 am

sprite

aw that is nasty :(

2:09 am

grannyrose

poor flosey

2:09 am

flosey

sure is, but tks for sympathy, Sprite and Rose

2:10 am

Morning

2:27 am

2:27 am

mattygroves

sorry!

2:28 am

sprite

morning matty! *hugs*

2:29 am

mattygroves

Hugs back! It's a cold, bright, sunny morning here

2:29 am

grannyrose

whoot!!! hugs matty and also to your other 'alf.

2:29 am

sprite

here as well. We've been having days like that for almost a week now. Very cold, but lovely winterweather.

2:29 am

mattygroves

He's looking after his (senile) mum last week and this as his sister, who is her full time carer, is on holiday. It's been tough!

2:29 am

mattygroves

And hugs to Rose and Don!

2:30 am

sprite

wow that is taxing. Great that his sister can take a well-earned break though.

2:31 am

mattygroves

So he's up north and I'm here (I have to work during the week so...) but anyhoo, I'm in bed with coffee and Babble :) How are y'all (I've caught up on the chat - so gentle hugs to both for what I've read!)

2:32 am

grannyrose

it is tough to take care of an older relative whose mind has deteriorated. gold stars to himself for giving his sister a break. don's sister had to be beaten into submission before she would take her mother for more than a few days.

2:33 am

sprite

don's sister needs her ass kicked daily, by a very big strong man. Just sayin'.

2:33 am

mattygroves

Jeff's been doing it last week and will do it all next - back a week from today. He finds it really hard because it's like there's a bratty alien who has taken over his mum's body

2:34 am

sprite

not easy at all, poor Jeff. Dementia is like bodysnatchers and pod people for sure.

2:35 am

mattygroves

Yeah - and Jeff (and his sister) really almost worshipped their parents for their upbringing. Jeff's dad died in November and now there's this alien who looks like Margaret but isn't

2:35 am

grannyrose

tell im to hang in there matty. he DOES get to hand his mum over to his sister soon. just imagine what she goes through, every day.

2:35 am

sprite

must be hard for them, to cope with all that loss

2:35 am

mattygroves

What's the stats for your PA7 fencing term (I have the wiki article open fencing to try to get a clue) ;)

2:36 am

sprite

pa7/36 :)

2:36 am

mattygroves

Yeah - she's 85 this year, Dennis was also 85 when he died - so it's not wholly unexpected but never easy

2:36 am

grannyrose

pa7/36

2:36 am

sprite

and even harder when your parents were great parents and great people

2:37 am

mattygroves

Yep. My mother was slipping into senility when she died but she'd agreed to go into assisted living and she never got so far down that road and never so aggressive

2:38 am

mattygroves

You do mean fencing the sport, not the job of putting a fence up ...

2:38 am

sprite

fencing the sport, yes. One of the moves.

2:39 am

sprite

fireflies. Not a tough grid.

2:40 am

mattygroves

I've only just begun

2:43 am

sprite

a big *hug* to both of you, and one extra for rose :)
Have a blessed day and a peaceful night... and rose, darling... take care of yourself as best as you can, okay?

2:44 am

mattygroves

Have a wonderful day, Sprite

2:44 am

sprite

flosey, if you are still here, *hugs* and I hope you will be able to sleep soon, and that your headache will be gone upon waking.

2:44 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE !!! xoxox for a special person.

2:47 am

grannyrose

night matty. the week will be over very soon and you and himself will be back together. hugs for you both.

2:48 am

flosey

thank you Sprite, so sweet of you, headache is starting to wane, not throbing

2:49 am

mattygroves

Have a good night and sleep well - talk soon! xx

2:56 am

flosey

have found 51 words, 109 for tomorrow, head seems to be calming down so will try to sleep now

2:56 am

flosey

rubyfoo

7:21 am

rubyfoo

l would like to do the gardening as l used to, but now l can barely make it to the fishpond!

7:24 am

rubyfoo

There's a lot of French slang in here: condom, bzd guy, and more LOL

7:25 am

rubyfoo

l teach Fr friend English bad words; they teach me Fr ones

7:28 am

MollyL

I'm glad you have "angels", Ruby.

7:31 am

2:10 pm

Soodle

Hannah... if you have health concerns, go see a doctor. Trust me! If you self diagnose on Google, you'll drive yourself nuts. Have a parent/ guardian take you to a qualified medic.
