my grandfather came from Spain when he was 11 - around 1918. He always told us that one regret was that he was never needed for any wars - too young or too old.

hi ankh -- me too have tried fest many a time, along with afro, internet, etc

12:25 am

I keep seeing French words -- some are ok, some are not, bah

12:25 am

I appreciate the company, Jilli. Hey, I want a new word entirely: "ediot," for the person who revises your work and does a bad job of it!

Good evening all, just in to check the grid - off to bed now, will get an early start tomorrow

12:28 am

hi and bye flosey!

12:28 am

Good Evening -- My icon is a photo that I took of the wild poppies that grow along the edges of the wheat fields in the Loire Valley in France.

12:28 am

too many fffff's in this grid

12:28 am

No, Junky, isn't that just taking evidence in a court case? Not actually settling, right?

12:29 am

Gracious, Nan, nothing to compare with that!

12:29 am

lovely, nan

12:29 am

12 f's

12:29 am

hi all!

ank - I suppose so, but in certain cases it can also mean to resolve

12:30 am

beautiful poppies!!

12:30 am

NICE icon, Mab... mab? Ty, Junky

12:31 am

Although, I think the "resolve" word, though it sounds similar, is dis* instead of de* -- ?

12:31 am

jili - thanks for taking the time to write your profile, it was very interesting & very touching :)

12:32 am

hello to everyone while i was gridlocked

12:33 am

helen, I hope everyone reads your profile - so moving

12:33 am

hi kal - very profound sentiment

Wow, Jilli, thank you for all the background.

12:34 am

thank you, jilli........

12:35 am

Lest we forget...

12:36 am

helen, thank you for sharing the info about your parents...

12:37 am

kier - tx, there's plenty more, i wish i remembered more, i wish they had written alot of this down -

12:38 am

seems like lots of wwii veterans preferred to forget

12:38 am

although they were both from poland, they first met in passing in italy during the war & met again & got engaged in london after the war

12:38 am

i can understand that.............those embroiled in a war are changed forever

12:38 am

How very sweet...

12:38 am

did they move to u.s. (i see you are from chicago)?

12:38 am

that's a great story, helen

12:39 am

kier - i don't know about that, i remember that whenever my parents met anyone/were introduced to other poles, like at weddings & funerals, the first topic of conversation was always 'what did you do during the war'

12:39 am

my nephew is in iraq (or was, have lost contact with him). he is just a baby of 21

12:40 am

kier - yeas, they stayed in london for 7 years, & then came to chicago - i don't need to tell you they had THE oddest accents

12:40 am

helen--maybe they felt more comfortable with people of their own generation/background. did they share much with you?

12:40 am

while we remember the wars gone by, let's not forget the boys (and girls) who are fighting today......

12:40 am

kier - that breaks my heart, these kids lives/outlooks are changed forever

12:40 am

my father fought in the british army in africa, lived to tell the tale but would never tell it, subject was closed to all of us

12:41 am

lol helen, ican imagine! i've had 2 good friends who were from poland. they have great accents

12:41 am

andree, my uncle was a Japanese pow for 3 years and would Never talk about it, died young

12:42 am

kier........what part of iraq?

12:42 am

seems we just never learn to stop sending our babies to war (no matter which 'side' )

12:42 am

omg kier - they sure did, & at the oddest times too, i always felt it was my duty to listen (kids do get antsy, but this was so solemn), one time my mom was telling me a story about one of her gestapo interregations while we were drinking ice teas, sitting in the middle of 6 flags over st. louis

12:42 am

surreal

12:43 am

kalea--he was outside of baghdad somewhere. he would be out in the surrounding area for weeks and then come into baghdad somewhere to regroup or recharge or?

12:43 am

my son is in samarra........just north of baghdad

12:44 am

my uncle was also a pow in changi for 3 years, he is the opposite of my dad and the subject is never closed, he has dedicated a lot of his later years to a memorial in mornington victoria and in 2004 was named anzav of the year

12:44 am

po7

12:45 am

kalea--do you hear from him much? he is my nephew but i hadn't seen him since he was 10. I found his name on 'anysoldier.com' and sent him some stuff, he called me out of the blue. it was really weird but cool but now i don't know where he is

12:45 am

hi all, all the profile stories are incredible!

12:45 am

I would have liked to have heard the stories but it was not possible with my uncle - or on 2nd thot, maybe didn

12:45 am

I have 58 and starting to struggle can someone please tell me how many words are in this cube?

12:45 am

my dad who had served in WW1 was imprisoned as a civilian in HongKong by the Japanese from 1941 to 1945. He wrote verses as "mental exercises" and they are so good. He often said war never did anyone any good.

12:45 am

Okay, I changed clothes and added our family's stories.

12:45 am

i don't know how soldiers or other people who have been in wars EVER now how to return to "normalcy"

12:45 am

12:46 am

ty Jill :))

12:46 am

kier - i really like your choice of icon, i am glad to see it, because what we are striving for is also important to remembet

12:46 am

he used to call me a lot, but haven't heard from him in over a month

12:46 am

flip de dip!

12:46 am

What aggrevates me is the response some make to the death toll in Iraq: Its an all volunteer army. Are the lives of volunteers worth less?

12:47 am

hi chic

12:47 am

ankh - is that a precious little angel hamster?

12:47 am

i am scared my son will want to join the military and HE IS ONLY 8!!!

12:47 am

hiya Andree!

12:47 am

sorry........hubby is calling me to bed..........early remembrance day ceremony in the morning

12:47 am

bye kalea

12:47 am

We'll all be thinking of you, Kalea. Goodnight.

12:47 am

kal - thanks for sharing, good nite

12:48 am

goodnight, all

12:48 am

Ka&Ba, i was having a conversation with some students at the university where i work and one of them said they signed up for war so it's no big deal if they get killed!!! I just don't understand this thinking

Good night Kalea.

12:48 am

Yes, Hyprhrted, thank you.

12:48 am

Gnite Kalea... hope your son is safe

12:48 am

Too young to understand, Kierlex.

12:48 am

ankh -- so many angels are being remembered today - all of us seem to have a story...

12:49 am

i need a picture like that of my kitty who just went to kitty heaven!!

12:49 am

g'night,kalea

12:49 am

Send me your cat pic and I'll see what I can do for you.

12:49 am

i don't know Ankh, i think there are people who believe that no matter their age

12:49 am

kier - i think it's more than just plain ';youth' - there a whole new 'life is not worth much' culture growing out there - much of it fostered by gangs

12:50 am

that would be sooo cool thank you!!

12:50 am

Youth is wasted on the young!

12:50 am

Yes, Jilli, it hurts so much. When my godfather/uncle died, he got the gun salute; it hurt so much. I used to live next to Arlington National Cemetary (about 2 miles away) and it was... it was devastating to go out there in "the fields of stone."

12:50 am

at least Donald Rumsfield is out now, maybe that will help

12:50 am

i have also met many european young people who are extremely well versed on historical warfare, because so much has been fought on their land

12:52 am

all wars are bad wars

12:52 am

Sure, Hpy, just give me a few days, though. :)

12:52 am

hpyhrted -- did you find your kitty -- your profile just said she was missing...?

12:52 am

andree - ita

12:52 am

kierlex, those young people should try reading some of Ambrose Bierce's short stories of his experiences in Civil War - very graphic

12:53 am

Also War on the Western Front

12:53 am

what a lovely way to start the weekend! to 7/52...

12:54 am

All's Quiet on the Western Front I mean

12:54 am

maybe they will learn when they have their own children and see how fragile life is

12:54 am

and there are so many unsung heroes, like ambulance drivers, nurses, clerical workers, cooks...and even dogs giving their lives...

12:54 am

has anyone read 'the things they carried?'

12:55 am

po 7/40

12:55 am

sorry, chic

12:55 am

Chic - to7.52 - is that the sweet one?

12:55 am

yes sweetie!

12:55 am

and what's the 7/52? How does it start?

12:55 am

Kierlex, that's exactly when they'll learn. Jilli...

12:56 am

no kier - but why does it sound so famliar?

12:56 am

The books are fine.... but I expect there are some veterans near by that can give vivid accounts of how the first bullet coming your way took the glamour out of war. As mentioned earlier, the veteran and his/her family will never be the same...ever

12:56 am

TO, jilli

12:56 am

whee! i just discovered the -ing

12:56 am

ho7/40

12:57 am

Jilli, I just *wish* the U.S. would declare 9/11 a holiday in honor of public safety workers / first responders, like everyone from S&R dogs to the dog catcher, the firefighters, the cops, the EMT's.... it fits because of 9/11 and because 911 is our emergency number here. And I want it to be a REAL holiday, with a paid day off and NOT FLOATING.

12:57 am

ka - true enough

12:57 am

Ka&Ba, you should go pro so we could compare icons! :)

12:58 am

12:58 am

helen it's a novel from a guy who was in vietnam, tim o'brien, and talks about the different things some soldiers carried like good luck charms, letters from home, etc etc. it is very moving

12:58 am

12:59 am

i recently bought 'the last true lie i'll ever tell' it is written by a national guard guy who was sent to iraq (called up when he was on his honeymoon). i haven't gotten to read it yet

12:59 am

<very meekly and quietly> I'm done....

12:59 am

oh! of course!

12:59 am

yay summer!

12:59 am

ankh - we already have a day like that, it's called dec. 7

12:59 am

12:59 am

12:59 am

oops -- sorry!

CONGRATS Summer Rose

1:00 am

ankh, i scanned a pic of my cat, but i'm not very good at this, how do i send it to you??

1:00 am

Wow Summmer - congrats!

1:00 am

Helen, what do you mean? Pearl Harbor Day is not a day for domestic emergency responders... ??

1:00 am

thank you....

1:00 am

my husband is a police officer, i think he would rather just have a little more appreciation/positive attitude from people throughout the year than a whole day of recognition

1:00 am

summer you are amazing!

1:00 am

Hyper, drop me a note right now @verizon.net and I'll give you instructions.

same basic thing though - attack on us soil, & people responded

1:01 am

there's not a lot of weird words in this one...

1:01 am

I'll drink to that, nan (a double)

1:01 am

I have 34 left, but I want to go listless so probably won't finish tonight.

1:01 am

I'm sure he would, Kierlex, but I want them all to have that day anyway. They deserve it. They secure our domestic peace as soldiers try to secure our international peace.

1:02 am

I only have 9 left and they are driving me crazy.

1:02 am

YAY, Rose, and glad the words are normal!

1:02 am

get off the bus, Shannon

1:02 am

hehe, I have 74 left as usual

1:02 am

this puzzle does need a brs, however...LOL...

1:02 am

*bra

1:02 am

or instead of a day off, how about providing decent body armor.... that stuff is so expensive, a lot of departments can't or won't pay for it, or just buy the basic stuff

1:02 am

brs?

1:03 am

thanks Kier for posting that title, I'd like to read that

1:03 am

ooh, a drink, that's what i need! good idea nan!

1:03 am

bra

1:03 am

you're welcome, muse.

1:03 am

and pimple creme...

1:03 am

wasn't my idea, but I'll join you!

1:03 am

I Want The Day Off for the whole country, with parades. AND I want the body armor.

done!

1:04 am

Congrats, Tea!!

1:04 am

anyone with the po 7/32?

1:04 am

oops, it was jill

1:04 am

A Rose for T &C!!! @}>~~~~~~~ Congrats!

1:04 am

Shannon, look at the ho7.

the action of the po 4/5

1:04 am

YAY TeaNC!

1:04 am

yay tean

1:05 am

Congrats T&C!

1:05 am

another really intense thing is The Band of Brothers hbo series. Very good and they intersperse it with interviews of the real soldiers that stephen ambrose wrote about for the book/series

1:05 am

the rhyme with a suffix- sounds like eyes

thanks everyone - just in time, too - hubby is going to work, so I should go to bed!

1:06 am

I have the 7/40, it's the very first po 7 word that I'm missing. It's the one after the literary thing.

1:06 am

are there any dh's in this one?

1:06 am

oh, no, summer, don't spoil chj's fun -- he has the ho4/5 for ti4/4 and may hoist a fi5/24 in their honour if he's ho7/40 a group of ho3/4 - lol

1:06 am

yes

1:06 am

good nite everyone and let's all pray for peace on this day too

1:06 am

Yes, Muse... good night.

1:13 am

i wonder if we have any kahlua in the house? time for a nightcap..

1:14 am

what a good idea, krys -- I have some...

1:14 am

and I have some whipping cream to float on top for an Angel's Kiss...

1:14 am

I think I may have figured out how to put an icon on my gray head.

1:14 am

mine with milk and ice please

1:14 am

I did, I did!

1:14 am

yummy! i will go raid th basement and see what I can find

1:15 am

i keep seeing words that aren't there "petite".. maybe I shouldn't have one after all! brb

1:15 am

Well, congrats, Shannon, but who are those two lovelies? You *must* put it in your profile or I'll ask you ever time I see you, forgetful old soul that I am!

1:15 am

last 25 will have to wait for tomorrow -- good night, everyone.

1:15 am

milk and ice sounds good -- brb -- anyone else?

You are all remembering - Remembrance Day? What does the day relate to? We remember on what we call Anzac Day - the landings at Gallipoli WWI

2:32 am

the ending of ww1 in europe

2:32 am

rememberance day is for all who died in any wars

2:32 am

Veterans day

2:32 am

se6.36 - compound - start a journey

2:32 am

ty lynxxx

2:33 am

i thought it was the signing of the end of 2nd WW and memory of dead soldiers

2:33 am

lynxx to teh rescue again ty

2:33 am

ww1 ended on the 11 th hour of 11th day of 11 month

2:33 am

same here ursh

2:34 am

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month the gunfire ceased in 1918 the end of World War 1. So we take that time and day to remember all who died in conflict.

2:34 am

but sappie is right - it is the end of wwi not ii that marks the date

2:34 am

That's right sapphie. I remember now. We don't celebrate that ... supposedly Gallipoli was the worst casualties for the Anzac troops - that's the day we use.

Hi everyone - Just finished my last one: eo + religious notion of fault - How is everyone?

2:35 am

australia does have a minutes silence on rememberance day

2:36 am

hi purple, well done!!

2:36 am

and we also wear poppies today

2:36 am

hi purple

2:36 am

31 left - and stuck. off for the list.

2:36 am

i have a lot of aussie friends and they have told me about anzacs day...they get up at first light to have ceremony

2:36 am

We have such a day on the day WWII ended in Holland. 4th of May. And the next day is Liberation Day, when we celebrate the importance of freedom.

2:36 am

Gosh, I wonder why we don't? Do you also have poppies on Anzac Day?

2:37 am

Click on my icon for the reason for the poppies

2:37 am

yes anzac day is huge in australia, but rememberance day is also important - there were a lot of ceremonies today

2:37 am

wtg purple!

2:37 am

i never knew that sprite, thats interesting..i guess most countries have a similar thing going on

Oh yes, today is Remembrance Day. I see you're wearing the poppy jilibus

2:38 am

Can't find the d8. Can somebody give another clue, please?

2:38 am

You finished, puff?? Well done!!!

de8 the act of removing a king from the throne

2:38 am

2:39 am

de + striking an attitude

2:39 am

End it with the po 6/27

2:40 am

ty, Ganja, jilli and Ang.

2:40 am

Having a break now - 34 left. I must say today and all your comments leaves me quite sad and brings back memories of family members who were in the wars. Let us all hope that what one of the thngs that they fought for - no more wars - will one day actually happen. Peace.

2:40 am

ack!! silly me! merci all...didnt even see the present continuous suffix there!

2:44 am

Ganja, how old was he?

2:44 am

I hear you, lynxxx, and I am right with you. If we no longer hope and believe it can happen, it never will. So let's believe in peace.

2:44 am

Whoo - is that what it is ramix - if I'd known that I would have told you!

2:44 am

3:12 am

Nice photo, haz. How is spangle?

3:13 am

Spangle is fine - I'm thinking I should change icon if the theme is Remembrance Day?

3:24 am

hi ml!

3:25 am

hi metal

3:25 am

3:25 am

hi metal

3:25 am

Yes, that's a thought metal. Does them good to be off balance. But I am also reading short stories by Roald Dahl at the moment ... he is more interesting!

3:25 am

guessing, i mean

hi Biltong, Fran and everybody who arrived while I had my head in the grid

3:26 am

Does anyone want a clue? I know you are probably enjoying finding your own words, but impolite if I leave without asking.

3:27 am

I am missing a z Angb. I have zi 4/9, clue for the other one please?

3:27 am

I'm fine at the minute, but thanks for asking! It's a user friendly grid so far.

Hello, Onpaki

3:39 am

Hello, Onpaki

Hi Onpaki

3:39 am

hi onpaki

3:40 am

Merk - it's the kind of grid where you can find normal words quite quickly. I'm over halfway - maybe things will get more difficult.....

3:40 am

hi onpak

3:40 am

any clues for the eo please?

3:40 am

eo plus wrongdoing, for eo5

eo + religious notion of fault

3:41 am

That 'c' is going to be worthless today, isn't it?

3:42 am

I think so, Merk.

3:42 am

not even a czar...

3:42 am

23 left and I haven't used it yet

3:43 am

According to BJ's list the c is not used at all

3:44 am

I'd forgotten BJ did a letter count... I love obscure statistics...

3:45 am

His 2nd letter list is very userful to eliminate unused letters

3:46 am

It's so straightforward, as far as options

3:47 am

I've never used BJ. What and where is it?

Clues anyone? - before I go?

3:48 am

No, but what did you find to be your hardest word? Not the lone 8 this time round.

5:38 am

morning frances

5:39 am

Hi Frances

5:39 am

can anyone help with this he 7/36

5:39 am

sorry please

5:40 am

i have a bit of a bizarre wquestion.......does anyone have a sony ericsson k750i mobile phone?

hi everyone

5:41 am

In the USA it is Veteran's Day today. IS it Remembrance Day in the UK?

it is scrabbler

5:41 am

I made the mistake of being in the supermarket during the 2 minutes silence... most people stopped and observed the silence, but a few carried on shopping, talking etc...

5:41 am

Sorry rilin - Samsung

5:41 am

Even rolin - so sorry

5:41 am

You did the right thing, sherb.

my son has a sony ericsson but don't know which one

and he's gone off to work now

5:42 am

I don't understand how some people can choose to ignore it... two minutes silence is not a lot to ask to show respect for those who gave their lives...

5:43 am

Quite right sherb

5:43 am

feel better now after that rant... :)

5:43 am

Because of self-absorption, ignorance, disregard--sadly

5:44 am

too true sherb

5:44 am

well..no...not really scrabbler...its ironic really...cos..one of the things ppl say they fight a war for is to protect the rights of other ppls freedom of coice...and those ppl choice not to observe the silence

5:45 am

But some people think only of themselves and are not grateful

5:47 am

yes, that's a logical argument, rolin... but I just find it unnecessarily disrespectful...

5:47 am

all ill say is if it wasnt for them people in the ww2 we wouldnt have the life we lead these days

5:47 am

Amen.

5:47 am

ill second that

5:48 am

anyway im stuck on this he 7/36 can anyone help me please

5:48 am

i have a problem with the whole remeberance thing...thats all..

5:48 am

me too sandr... I think it's an he from something Haz said earlier, but I may be wrong...

5:49 am

he7... begins with a word for seven

5:49 am

and dont tell me herb that haz has gone

5:50 am

ofts

5:50 am

he 7/36 2 syllable word. 1st syllable is an old fashioned word for "cool cat" 2nd syllable is a common chemical suffix

7:21 am

Thanks for the de help....got it all now.

7:22 am

cliffopa----what a bunch of sweeties

I used to have a little kitten that hid under my hair and rode on my shoulder when I went shopping.

7:23 am

scorpio--scroll down to Friends of Babble, second column, 4th link down

7:23 am

Is there a link to babblers anonymous, scorpio? Those who have joined se a different screen to you.

Rock's so territorial, we can't foster any at present. When he's gone, I think we might foster some. and we'll adopt only special needs cats such as the very old, or those with physical problems.

Scorpio... use this link: http://licketysplitaus.googlepages.c om/babbleclues

sorry it's not all on the same line

7:25 am

metal-all my adoptees(3 cats/1 dog) are rescues, most had medical issues. since we have an empty nest, i've set up a spare bedroom as a kitten room.

back to try and get a few more

welcome back for another round anno

7:26 am

Good for you, cliffopa. Someday when I retire I want to manage a rabbit rescue in my home.

ty metal I keep finding a few then getting dragged away to do other things

7:27 am

scrabbler, there is definitely a need for that since most people don't get their bunnies spayed or neutered.

7:27 am

back for a bit, hi again

7:27 am

When I'm of fixed abode I'm going to have loads of needy creatures of all sorts. At the mo, they're all human!!!

7:27 am

Hi pam

7:27 am

hello pam:)

hi pam

when we first got Rock, he was just an older cat... and we fell in love with his dignified manner. Since he came home to us, he's had cancer twice (and lost a leg to it in the process) but still manages to herd us around as if he were a border collie

7:28 am

Ah it's a glorious Saturday in south Florida.....sunny, clear...65.....it's a great day to be alive

7:28 am

Hi Pam

7:28 am

Lovely pic, annotherone. Where is it?

7:28 am

I have raised bunnies for 23 yrs, and have had, and still have, special needs bunnies. I have the scars on my hands and arms as a result of trying to get medicine into bunnies.

7:28 am

thanks for the welcome!

7:28 am

Faerie--how's mom?

7:28 am

50 wrds down

it was a photo I took in Cornwall hydra

7:28 am

metal, rock is very lucky he found you.

Bassetts Cove

7:29 am

Pam she is still with my Sis and about the same - I'm going to have dinner with her this evening

was down there in March and realised what a beautiful sunset it was so raced to the nearest coastal point to photograph it

7:29 am

and Thanks for asking :)

7:29 am

chiley--great icon. I am a pediatrician and CF is a dreadful disease for kids and their families.

7:29 am

i missed that she was discharged--wasn't on for days, enjoy dinner!

7:30 am

scrabbler, i purchased an item for my cats that helps with that. let me see if i can find the link.

7:30 am

Yes Pam she has a nurse coming in to see her 3 times a week and living with my oldest Sis right now

7:31 am

I hope she is okay, and that all of you are as well--you have had a time of it...

7:31 am

That would be great, cliffopa, because oven mitts are too bulky.

7:31 am

diving back in

7:31 am

ok. I finally got that de8 (kept forgetting about the verb ending). bbl for the final 23. have fun....

7:31 am

Oh, faerie, I didn't know she left the hospital--great!

i've got it thanks. Anyway i'm looking to make new friends L)

i've got it thanks. Anyway i'm looking to make new friends L)

hi everyone! what's today's theme?

7:32 am

Join in on the fun, friendship and frustration, scorpio

we think we're lucky to have him. he brings us such joy and so much fun every day. (except when he does his mountain goat imitation and leaps from the floor up to the top of whichever human is closest to the edge of the bed. that's his signal that its time to feed the cat, or water the cat, or otherwise pay attention to the cat

7:32 am

Roses TO and Hi

7:33 am

or flowers in general

7:33 am

It is wonderful that you chose to extend his life, despite illness, metaleather, as many pet owners, upon hearing the cost of care, choose to euthanize.

7:34 am

There is an o word accepted which is NOT in the grid does anyone else have the same problem??

7:35 am

nicely said, scrabbler

7:35 am

No, it is there, lucky--there are 2 double F's in the grid.

accepted in the game but can't be found in the letters?

hi faerie nice to hear your mom is better

7:36 am

TO - can't say she is better but she is out of the hosital which is wonderful

7:37 am

She still still has constant pain and her bowels are well going all the time

7:37 am

If only those words worked!

7:39 am

now you have all seen my amazing strategy...argh

7:39 am

Pam - Dr's are still trying to get her meds regulated since they OD'd her twice in the hospital

7:39 am

fo6 is fe5 with O inserted

Scrabbler,...what is fe5? do not have either of them.

sorry

kkiln, one is "parties or celebrations" and the other is "stinky"

7:44 am

well I've made it 1/2 way thru the grid without waking my company yet *teehee*

7:46 am

TY cliffopa, although I may get shredded trying to get one of my bunnies in that. Callie is a sassy bunny.

my Spousal Equivalent/Other Half and I were laughing about something the other day... neither he nor I will go to the doctor unless SEVERELY ill because of cost, but let Rock show the slightest sign of appetite loss or a dark scaly patch (that's how his cancer started both times) and we scoop and run to the vet in a heartbeat

7:46 am

(((((((((faerie))))))))))

7:47 am

Same with me, metaleather

7:47 am

2:42 pm

2:46 pm

I meant of 6,27

2:46 pm

I am sending my son to counselling since he has impulse control issues

2:47 pm

thanks bubba!

2:47 pm

what do you mean by impulse control?

2:47 pm

yw

2:47 pm

As in, he says and does what comes into his mind without thinking about it

2:48 pm

he also has trouble controlling his temper and emotions when he gets frustrated

2:48 pm

my son comes home from college every tuesday and every weekend to see his daughter. it's a two hour drive each way. i have my granddaughter 3-4 days a week also.

2:49 pm

ohhh...i hope the counselling is helping. sometimes when someone is so intelligent, they do get frustrated when things don't happen as they are supposed to.

2:49 pm

this weekend, i took the trip down to his college just for a change of pace

2:50 pm

precisely, Dispatch. :) And he is in a school district where your school is assigned by grade, not by location, so, he will be with teh same 20 kids for 12 years since that is the top 25% of the class

2:50 pm

and the same 6 in gofted (top 1%)

2:51 pm

I think it is a great thing that he can still go to school and can have time with his child

2:51 pm

on one side, some great friendships will cultivate over the years...but on the other side, if you don't get along with someone...the experience is negative

2:52 pm

dispatch - I live here in Morgantown and husband works at WVU

2:52 pm

Precisely, and he ain't the most popular kid in class, actually, more of them barely tolerate him

2:53 pm

i must brag...my curtee is extremely blessed. not only does he have a healthy, beautiful, loving child, but he was very successful in high school. his senior year, he was prom king and was the star pitcher of our baseball team. he led his team to win the PA state championship with a no-hitter. Never been done in state history!!!

2:54 pm

he gave up baseball in college though because of his commitment to come home to see his daughter. needless to say...mom and dad are very proud of him

2:54 pm

klaurel I was like that in school, top of the class with no friends. If he is anything like me, he will happy when he leaves school and is free to be himself instead of being forced to fit in

2:54 pm

he is studying chemical engineering. he's a sophomore. next semester he will be co-oping with the chemical company that he had a summer internship with

2:55 pm

so...he will be living back home by mid-december

2:55 pm

congrats kth on your academic status!

2:55 pm

yep, KT, he is like my brother, totally brilliant and clueless socially

2:56 pm

society doesn't really cater for bright people who want to be themselves

2:56 pm

you are a very sensitive mom to get him counselling now. and kth is right...once free to excel on his own...who knows what he'll do

3:03 pm

I know! I hope so he does well and the counselling helps him now. I went into manic depression before my mom acknowledged there might be a problem

3:03 pm

girls want to read a story...i'll be back tonight to finish it up and watch the flip. have a great day everyone!!!

3:03 pm

enjoy, Dispatch

STUBBY - by grad school you should be able to write a 10 page paper in your sleep.

the paper would be easy, if not for a series of very pointed questions from the prof. It's grad school-shouldn't we be able to form our own opinions based on our own research???

8:58 pm

ankh, of plus exam

8:58 pm

Raise that as an issue, Stubby, as a way sexism has permeated even this class: you are being pushed towards the prof's conclusions about sexism by being fed leading questions.

8:59 pm

Dawg, thank you thank you.

Just wondering because I never know what I need.

10:29 pm

msilver -- I have licketys printable list open in a different window next to the babble window -- this way I just line them up to compare

10:29 pm

I type the words into Lickety's or I print out the list and write the words.Usually I print out Lickety's list.

10:30 pm

msilver20, do you have the tile stats? Aren't you pro?

10:30 pm

Grey, I would love to do that but I can't figure it out. I'm also on an Apple laptop. I do have a Dell desktop but I'd rather use this. Can I do that?

10:30 pm

I am pro

10:31 pm

So the tile stats below should tell you what you need.

10:31 pm

It does but there is much more info on the clue list!

10:32 pm

I don't know, ms -- I am not familiar with Apple tech

10:32 pm

Neither am I.

10:32 pm

I agree msilver620. I prefer to use Lickety's list also.

10:33 pm

It's good to have both. They each serve a discrete purpose.
