the end of the current period of my life is approaching and i'm having trouble imagining any way in which i will be happy in the future

9:36 am

9:37 am

Book Doctor Gwen

sending you magical healing energy over the web, hurshy

9:37 am

hurshy

ty gwen

9:37 am

Atalante

the good thing about future happiness is that sometimes its something you never could have expected to happen

9:38 am

hurshy

i know. but. the thing about that is that you can't count on it to actually happen

9:38 am

Atalante

there's nothing you can count on to happen past the second you're living in

9:38 am

crosshair

((Hurshy))

9:38 am

hurshy

yes, exactly

9:39 am

hurshy

i'm just so TIRED

9:39 am

hurshy

always always tired

9:39 am

Atalante

and therein lies the problem *hugs*

9:39 am

Atalante

it's impossible to b eoptimistic when you're that tired

9:40 am

hurshy

but it never goes away

9:40 am

justafreep

Sending you California good vibrations, Hurshy

9:40 am

9:40 am

9:40 am

Atalante

even a day?

9:40 am

hurshy

well we have thanksgiving this week so

9:41 am

justafreep

(Also, while not important, I think we can all count on the fact that there are certain words we are NEVER going to use outside of Babble. Somethings are, actually, predictable.)

9:41 am

hurshy

true freep

9:41 am

hurshy

i am imagining that may be the case with whatever these X words are

9:41 am

crosshair

Sounds like a warrior princess shiw back a few years ago

9:42 am

crosshair

Show

9:42 am

Atalante

actually they are words I've used outside Babble because they are the scentific names of some corals. and plants I believe

9:42 am

hurshy

but most of us aren't marine biologists

9:43 am

hurshy

ty crossy

9:43 am

Atalante

but you have found it many times before in babble :)

9:43 am

crosshair

:)

9:43 am

hurshy

yes, we have had it before

9:44 am

crosshair

Enable is a riddle wrapped in an enigna.

9:45 am

crosshair

Enigma

9:46 am

hurshy

found a TE8!

9:47 am

crosshair

:)

9:47 am

Atalante

there's at least 2 worms in here. I never understand what scientific names enable takes and what it doesn't

9:48 am

crosshair

Te8 was hard to see as it is ver small. :)

9:48 am

hurshy

i think you're thinking of te7 crossy, unless it has a related 8 that i haven't got yet

9:48 am

crosshair

It does

9:48 am

BzznBea

Found a reptile

9:49 am

hurshy

my 8 is a past tense that's ... shaky

9:49 am

hurshy

ok thanks for that other one

9:51 am

Atalante

hmmm wonder what the 9 is

9:52 am

BzznBea

ha9.60 the reptile

9:52 am

crosshair

Ha 8 and 9 sound like where a gent my buy headwear

9:52 am

Atalante

oooo

9:53 am

justafreep

and again, a word that almost none of us will ever use

9:54 am

Book Doctor Gwen

got the ha9, thanks! new word on me

9:54 am

crosshair

There are a large percentage of "words" in Enable that will never be used in general conversation.

9:54 am

justafreep

with your clue, crosshair, I simply trusted the fact that 'if you can pronounce it, it might be in enable' and got it right away. Thanks for that.

9:54 am

crosshair

:)

9:55 am

Book Doctor Gwen

all dictionaries are abridged in one way or another

9:56 am

Atalante

hatterer

9:56 am

Atalante

9:57 am

crosshair

Close. Give it a spanish ending

9:57 am

Atalante

ah well then. new words!

9:57 am

crosshair

Yuppers. :)

9:58 am

Atalante

ah its a tuatara

9:59 am

crosshair

Babble and Enable teach me new words every day--broadening my mental horizons as it were. :)

10:01 am

crosshair

Now, if I can only remember where I put my car keys. :)

10:05 am

crosshair

But learing about New Zealand reptiles is good as well.

10:11 am

justafreep

You put your keys in your etui. Or perhaps it was your etwee. I cannot be sure.

10:11 am

hurshy

i have a hook

10:11 am

BzznBea

My fob is in my purse.

10:12 am

crosshair

Ahh yes, my handy dandy needlecase.

10:15 am

crosshair

Dealer charges $400!!! to replace a key, program it, etc. If my vehicles cle was a 1980 version I could get a new key for six dollars. Technology is great. :/

10:15 am

hurshy

is it really so lost that you might need to resort to that?

10:16 am

crosshair

No, I am sure it will turn up.

10:17 am

crosshair

I have yet to check the fridge, freezer, and sugar dish, so there is hope.

10:18 am

crosshair

Brb, pups need to tiddle.

10:22 am

crosshair

Found them!! My keyring has a leather fob, and one of the pups took it off the table and was chewing on it in his doggie bed. :/

10:22 am

Atalante

hahaha

10:23 am

hurshy

oh dear

10:24 am

crosshair

Pup is fine. I swear the boy couldvswallow a cow whole and not even burp.

10:24 am

hurshy

10:24 am

hurshy

only he's a cat

10:24 am

crosshair

Lol

10:24 am

hurshy

he once bit a bulb off a string of twinkle lights

10:25 am

hurshy

and i THINK swallowed it, because i never found it

10:25 am

hurshy

but suffered no ill effects

10:26 am

crosshair

We had an orange cat once--a female. She was twenty pounds of mischief.

10:26 am

hurshy

well fritz is a tuxedo cat. TWENTY pounds? yikes

10:26 am

crosshair

She was just big. A tiny bit chonky but long.

10:27 am

crosshair

Lived to 21 years old.

10:27 am

Atalante

thats a great age

10:28 am

crosshair

It was. Her heart gave out.

10:29 am

hurshy

ete

10:29 am

crosshair

All the other rescue cats we have had barely made it to ten before cancer or congestive heart failure took them.

10:29 am

hurshy

that's weird

10:30 am

hurshy

somehow i typed half a word in the add word box, then the second half ended up over here

10:30 am

crosshair

I get that sometimes, or my text in chat will just repeat iself at random.

10:34 am

crosshair

Seems that we are in for a rough flu season here. I am told by those in the know that when brewing up this years flu vaccine they missed the varriant by a wide margin. :(

10:37 am

Atalante

I've heard the same here

10:37 am

crosshair

My lungs are already a mess this year, so it should be interesting. I am the only driver in the house, so should I shuffle off this mortal coil, Hurshy, you can have my Jeep. :)

10:40 am

Atalante

I don't like my last 5

10:40 am

crosshair

:(

10:41 am

Atalante

I can't even think what they could be lol

10:44 am

crosshair

So mant babblets in here, they could be anything.

10:46 am

Atalante

10:47 am

Atalante

10:53 am

Atalante

10:55 am

hurshy

first two pe6 are past tenses, then like, um, idk, a nickname for a lord in the UK? then a very vowelly one and then a very normal one

1:51 pm

crosshair

Winnipeg can get super cold.

1:51 pm

rururocks

I think it was 37 below with a wind chill factor on top of that cold

1:52 pm

crosshair

When I was young we had a 1969 Beetle, and it got so cold it blew the frost plugs out of the engine block.

1:53 pm

crosshair

Minus 37 plus wind chill is nasty.

1:54 pm

My beloved cannot stand creepy-crawlies.

1:59 pm

hokie carla

1:59 pm

crosshair

She can wear a snake like a necklace, but spiders will make her run.

2:00 pm

hokie carla
