12:15 am

12:16 am

had he had any health issues earlier? or ifyou don't want to discuss that is fine, too... one of the profs in my department had a massive heart attack and died Dec 8. He was 62. His funeral was quite a celebration of his life adn had great and fun music (he had been a dJ in the 60's)

12:17 am

hoho should be a word, especially since tsks and brrs are words.

he had 'an episode' about 4 years ago, trouble breathing, light-headed, spent 3 days in the hosp for testing, but they couldn't figure out exactly what happened - since then lost a bunch of wieght & gotup at 5:30 to work out, watched what he ate, was in great shape

Buenos dias ...

12:25 am

volley, that's a funny scene from your back yard!

12:26 am

At home, I'm on IE ..So I went to a country that has a flag ...

LOL...oops changed my pic and not my bio ty for noticing

12:27 am

what does IE have to do with the flag, tor?

12:27 am

in keeping with my decision to celebrate pretty much any holiday coming along... here's my Kwanzaa themed icon

12:28 am

I wondered the same thing jilli

12:29 am

thx helen... (i was on the phone just now)

12:29 am

i wondered that too :)

12:29 am

really nice icon and write-up, metal

12:29 am

kier - i used the very same icon when the theme was 'blue'

12:29 am

The country names that don't have a flag don't show up on IE sometimes ..

12:30 am

i like the moon =)

Clues are up! Enjoy!

12:30 am

Do they show up anywhere else, tor?

12:30 am

Moons are good ...

12:31 am

many thanks, Lickety!!!

12:31 am

The name shows up in Firefox ...

12:31 am

thanx, lickety!

12:31 am

TY Lickety

12:32 am

I have Netscape 7.2 as well as IE -- must see if they do there too

12:32 am

Lickety -- You are, have been, and will be -- Da man!

12:32 am

but at present there's nobody here flagless

12:33 am

ty Lickety

12:34 am

I've changed my country to one of the ones I've visited, but has no flag in the Babble database>> What do you see?

12:35 am

blank here in IE -- will go to Netscape -- brb

12:37 am

Azerbaijan

12:37 am

aha -- here in Netscape it says Azerbaijan!

12:37 am

This is what I'm saying --- In Firefox, the name of the country shows up -- In IE, it's blank ..

th 7

12:38 am

Ve-e-r-r-ry inter-esting...

12:38 am

By the way, Baku sucks on toast ..

12:38 am

Well, Firefox and Netscape are relate, yesno?

12:39 am

i.e. says countryu is azerbaijan

12:39 am

25 words

12:39 am

haha found an sh 4/5.....something you do in the bathroom

12:40 am

We ran into some Iranian students who said they hated Baku . . .When Iranians hate your country, your country stinks ...4

12:40 am

but bj, it doesn't say so right where the flag belongs - you have to put the cursor over the blank flag space

12:41 am

30 words

12:42 am

Guess i'm missing sometheing here. That's what I get for jumping into the middle of a comversation. I get the tooltip with the country name if i hover over the flag, blank or not. I don't see a country name anywhere else except in the profile itself.

12:43 am

As for firefox, I gave up on that a while ago when it started barfing on the chat log history.

12:45 am

tor pointed out that with Firefox (and I found also with Netscape) that the name of the country which has no flag appears where the flag would be without having to hover over a blank rectangle

12:45 am

G'noght all -- I am falling asleep at the keyboard and not really chatting so I am gonna go to bed -- see you soon {{**Hugs to all**}}

Hi Haz Any rain today? I think that was a clearing up shower (all day and all night). Beautiful day today - blue skies.

3:19 am

We had very stormy weather last night, and now it has calmed down beautifully. No blue skies though!

3:19 am

Just seen on the news that Saddam has been executed

New Year Honours I really like - Among the less well-known people to be recognised are John Grey, 80, a shoeshiner for Virgin Atlantic airline customers at Heathrow, former East Lothian milkman George Beal and Norfolk teaching assistant Susan Wade, who all become MBEs.

He's 80 and still working? The shoe-shine man?

3:29 am

Good morning, sprite!

3:29 am

I had an aunt who worked providing meals for "old" people - she was 86!

3:33 am

I'll be watching firework with dog (he loves them) champers in hand.

3:33 am

We have a good friend over, we lost a mutual friend this year, it will be enough to share the family warmth and support each other through this last festive day. Peace and quiet is what we go for.

3:33 am

lovely thankx lynxxx, my daughter did the honours this year, first time I got a break since I took over from my mother in law over 30 years ago

3:34 am

LOL - its the only time my dog will set on my lap - he's ppetrified of the noise!

3:34 am

Ours loves them. He drags me outside to watch

3:35 am

I think most pets are scared of the noise

3:35 am

That's pretty amazing for a dog, Frances!

3:37 am

OK think its time to hit Lickety - 111 down but not seeing anything new

3:37 am

my son and family arrived today from living overseas for 13 years, we are allvery excited to have them here to live again

3:39 am

sprite, he's a deep chocolate brown weimaraner/Hungarian Vizla cross and is the most affectionate dog I know. He is wonderful but given the chance he would run all day - and I do mean all day. He gets walked for about four hours a day - minimum.

3:39 am

their dog will see the freworks at quarantine station, should have a million dollar view, lol

3:40 am

Wow Andree - that will be great for you. Where have they been living? Have you seen them during those years?

3:41 am

Sounds like a great dog, Frances! Can't he be in your icon one day? Would love to see him. I am happy for you, Andree - must be wonderful to have them close again.

3:41 am

I'll see if I can dig out my favourite pic

3:42 am

new york, then Singapore then back to Aus for a year then japan then Singapore again, 3 kids all born in Singapore, I have visited at least twice a year and they come home twice a year

3:45 am

They have certaily got around!

3:45 am

dh5/14 and dh6/24

3:45 am

How on earth can there be 8s and 9s in THIS grid? I have trouble finding 7s!

3:46 am

I am having trouble finding 4's, sprite

3:46 am

dh 5/14 is a loin cloth and 6/24 is plural

3:47 am

Yeah, that too, Andree, lol.

3:50 am

both do6/21's please

3:54 am

I have 'more fond of'. No other yet.

3:55 am

thx sprite

3:57 am

also need the 2x do5/12's, not the giver of blood

3:57 am

The other one is to put on (as in clothes), plus men's neckwear, but with the t replaced by the plural letter.

3:58 am

There is the giver in two different guises, one ending in a double vowel

3:58 am

For 5s I have the blood donor - change last 2 letters.

3:59 am

Sprite said a word.....

3:59 am

Oooowwwww..... how incredibly stupid. I am soooo sorry!

3:59 am

Not to worry! Is the double vowel the receiver? It gets me confused..

4:00 am

Also have (she whispered almost inaudible) do5 plural of do4, bit, trifle, or dutch co4.

4:01 am

Haz, it seems the double vowel one is a law word. 1. a person to whom a gift is made. 2. a person who has a power of appointment in property.

4:01 am

Thank you!

4:02 am

thx haz and sprite

4:03 am

sprite dog picture here now

4:03 am

Very handsome!

4:04 am

wow Frances, what a cutie! And yes, it is obvious that he should have lots of exercise, lol.

4:05 am

ok, found one 8/9 combo. Prefix not out + royal seat, past tense is the 9. Desperation has led to a biggie :)

4:05 am

nice dog frances

4:06 am

But that normally would be spelt with en, wouldn't it?

4:06 am

do you want the co8&9?

4:07 am

de6/24 please

4:07 am

Yes it would, Haz, I just looked it up, wondered myself :) Lynxxx... pleassssse! I feel like I am babbling for the very first time, am sooo blind to words.

4:08 am

co + opp of yes + what you might say to a child - **** touch the fire! & plural

4:08 am

its that kind of grid sprite, like pulling teeth

4:08 am

de6/24 - to confuse or mislead someone (noun)

4:08 am

thx haz

4:08 am

de7/36 is the plural

4:08 am

lynxxx, thanks, wonderful clue. Strange words.

4:10 am

Looked up the def of the C: a Paleozoic microfossil occurring in various jagged or toothlike shapes and constituting the hard remains of an extinct marine animal of the order C8a (or C8ophorida), found abundantly worldwide in sedimentary rock. We all knew that, right?

4:10 am

I know it now, but will I still know it tomorrow?

4:11 am

errr yes ! well after some-one earlier clued it!

4:11 am

I will, more or less. I can connect fossil to Mast(same ending as C) the big extinct elephant :D

4:12 am

I have 2 7s, prefix + where the beach is.

4:13 am

And do you have what speaks louder than words? There's also a plural painkiller (or thereabouts)

4:14 am

I have the painkiller. Not the other one yet, I think. I do have the words, lol. Not practise but T6.

4:15 am

Also Co7/32 THE act.

4:16 am

ca7 - the person who takes your money at the store

4:17 am

As8 - flabbergasted, bewildered.

4:18 am

Found the louder than words one, Haz, thanks :)

4:18 am

You're welcome - just found your co7

4:19 am

And the as8 - thanks

4:19 am

yw :) This is really a teamwork grid.

4:21 am

sprite - did you get the misleading de6/24 and de7/36 comb?

4:21 am

Yes, I did, thanks. Also found the Ca from lynxxx, thank you lynxxx :) Slowly getting there.

4:22 am

It's taking a long time to grey any squares......

4:23 am

It is a slow grid, indeed. Also not very rewarding, not many words that make me smile finding them anyway.

4:24 am

TY Haz - I could only think of ducks for a while but did at last find the de...

4:24 am

I'm glad you got there in the end, lynxxx.

4:27 am

I must take a break, the words aren't exactly queuing up to be found. See you later!

4:27 am

I haven't found the de's haz

7:52 am

Morning Matty, Pam, Temple, Jacula and peeps

hi inge2!

7:52 am

hi, inge2

7:53 am

Can I offer my feeble clues for any1?

7:53 am

Hi matty, inge & anyone else I've missed.

7:53 am

gramma your clues are never feeble!

What's the grid like? Are the 9s weird words or normal ones?

ugh! so many near words today...

7:54 am

Feeble? Hardly, gramma! You got me a word I almost never spot.

yes i'd like the y words not long ago

7:54 am

yes, inquiring minds want to know about how weird the (s are.

7:54 am

* that would be "9s" :)

7:55 am

matty, of course the words are all normal. What kind of game do you think you're playing?

7:55 am

true. I've used that "hebetation" word from last week a number of times already this morning....;-)

and after babbling this long what's "normal"? not sure i would know ; )

7:55 am

normal to .... whom though? :P

7:56 am

Me too, Inge!

7:57 am

though I will admit that the co8/9 are everyday words for me, being a palaeontologist!

7:57 am

TO, play the point value game and you'll see them right off.

7:57 am

oooh, nice clue atalante...off to look

co8/9? *eyes glisten*

7:58 am

I see it's not "coprolites"

7:58 am

10th letter of the Hebrew alphabet

I'm afraid my Hebrew skills are rusty...

*eyes encyclopedic dictionary on bookshelf*

can you please give us the first two and point count?

7:59 am

Did not realize you are a paleontologist, Ata

7:59 am

Co as clued earlier, CO + a 2 letter negative word + a usually contracted not to

7:59 am

nope, not this time! these things could produce microscopic coprolites though I guess. co8/55 and co9.66. they have big teeth

8:00 am

marine biologist / palaeontologist. did my PhD in dead fish.

8:00 am

8:12 am

I'm off, too. Have to prep for a dinner tonight. Happy babbling and see y'all tomorrow.

8:12 am

oh shoot, i missed her

8:13 am

Bye Pam, Charm. I'm off soon too.

Oh great - how about London?

8:13 am

feather - we use a mixture of metric and imperial, it depends on how old you are but generally people still understand speed as mph be it travel or wind

8:14 am

ahh, gotcha! thanks!

One year (when I was pregnant with my daughter), my mum came over from the States, and offered to cook a roast. She came to me in a panic, exclaiming "what are we going to do - this oven only goes up to 250"!

8:16 am

hehe!

8:17 am

Can anyone clue the ao - probably obvious but not seeing it

8:17 am

i'm not starting off very well here.

8:18 am

TY Inge

8:19 am

yw, and now off to the showers!

8:21 am

grrrrrrrrrr I had my CDs in my car in a specific order that makes no sense to anyone but me, and my husband's friend has just put them all back in the right cases and "organised" them for me! grrrr! its going to take me ages to sort them out again. why do people *fiddle* with other people's things??

8:22 am

woohooo I got the 8's + 9's

8:22 am

serious control issues, atalante -- your husband's friend apparently thinks he knows how you "should" be doing things.

8:23 am

I know! am seriously annoyed! and he expects me to thank him! LOL!

8:24 am

Well hello ATALANTE :)

8:26 am

thank him to keep his hands off your things Atalante

yeah shorty !!

8:27 am

I didn't think you'd speak

8:27 am

ty oldhousejunky

Can anyone clue the final 8 (that doesn't have a related 9)?

8:29 am

I'm going to flounce off and fix things and make sure he knows exactly how displeased I am with the whole matter! nothing like a bit of melodramatics to liven up an afternoon *grin*

8:30 am

8:30 am

old word for surprised / amazed etc, matty

8:30 am

Hi everyone!

The in's have me mystified - I have the 1st and last but nothing in between

8:33 am

8:34 am

in4 and plural == Peruvian money, basic unit

8:34 am

Have just found in 8 & 9 - thanks anyway

8:35 am

TY ch1212

8:49 am

8:50 am

oops, duty calls, bbl

8:52 am

TY Inge - thought it was something like that but kept leaving out the a on the end

Damn. It looks like I'll need the list and I'm not even halfway through

A professional organizer begins by finding out how the client's mind organizes, then goes from there --- NEVER would a P.O. simply organize his/her own way.

9:02 am

In our house, if you are looking for James Brown music, look in the Shostakovich case, and if you want Mozart, it is probably in a Bob Wills case. Drives me nuts.

A double whammy, eh? I hope you can get some rest soon and recover. Maybe after the wedding you can go to bed and rest for a couple of days

9:09 am

co = against + vowel + opp of do (contraction word) then plural

9:09 am

Yes, I have the next 2 days off. But I have so much housework to catch up on! I need a maid.

9:10 am

There you go, give yourself a Christmas present and get one for at least one or two times to get caught up

11:26 am

I'm struggling with this one...

it sure is fun tho, and the chat has been a blast!

11:28 am

there you go... I should have switched the chat on earlier...

11:28 am

I've only just returned after cleaning out rabbit & g/pig hutches. Discovered poor old Joey rabbit has what I think is 'snuffles'. V. serious & contagious. Daughter has taken him to vet's. Awaiting news now...:(

if you get a chance read where ypsi clued me the as7, I almost wet myself laughing so hard

11:29 am

oh dear... poor Joey... :(

awww so sorry Jacula

11:29 am

What sort of time was that grammat?

just not long ago, maybe half an hour

11:30 am

I'll let you know how Joey gets on. He's recovered from a stroke & later on from fly strike. I am hopeful.

wow

11:34 am

11:35 am

11:43 am

thanks gramma

yw

11:44 am

hi all

hi Kate!

11:45 am

afternoon kate :)

11:45 am

everything just got a whole lot worse

oh no what?

11:45 am

he's been seeing her for the past couple of weeks and he's leaving to be with her

11:46 am

I kept asking him what was going on and he kept telling me they were just friends and she was helping him out by giving him a break every now and again, I knew I didn't believe him

11:47 am

I wouldn't have cared so much if he had told me the truth, but I'm so hurt that he lied to me so many times

Dear Jesus, we don't know why things like this happen, but I ask that you be with Kate just now, grant her peace, and your strength to get thru this, thank you Father for your grace, amen

11:47 am

I was trying so hard to hold on to him as a friend and it's all blown up in my stupid niave face

yes lying only hurts people worse

I don't think you are stupid, love is very blind darlig

11:48 am

I've never felt so alone

it took me 10 years to be friends with my ex, way to painful at first

11:49 am

don't let this make you think that you're stupid kate...

amen sherb, (((hugs))) kate

11:49 am

good afternoon everybody:)

hi jean

11:50 am

I'm so angry and hurt, I'm trying so hard not to cry, I don't want to sit here alone and crying

crying is healthy and healing kate

11:51 am

I don't want to cry alone, I know I need to cry but i don't have the strength to do it on my own

11:51 am

Go ahead and cry, Kate. Might as well get started before the kids see you. Best to have a good cleansing cry. Best to do it while you're alone so you can really let it all go.

11:52 am

I have run out of strength, I just can't do it any more

I know that anger keeps the crying emotions at bay also, but grieving a lost love is just as crucial as grieving a death

it feels like death

11:53 am

kate- you may be the only one there physically, but you are not alone

11:53 am

I wish I was dead, I wouldn't have to feel it any more

I know that online friends can't really DO anything, but know that people do care

amen leep

that's a normal feeling kate, but you know that would only make matters worse for your family

11:54 am

living well is the best revenge kate

11:55 am

Kthdsn,

11:55 am

Ivanna Trump said: "Don't get mad, get everything!". Been following your story, Kate. Wish there was something left of his that you could get.

11:55 am

KtH please dont qwish something so awful ,think about your 3 little ones ,they need you now more than ever

11:55 am

His idiocy is not your fault...not a reflection on you.

11:56 am

And when you are ready, you may use the phrase my best friend in college and I used after a bad date, bad relationship, etc.

11:56 am

In a word it is

11:56 am

"NEXT!"

11:56 am

so true asculptor

11:57 am

lol

11:57 am

Amen, asculptor!

11:57 am

(Just returned from a 'phone call.) Katie - I know how you feel, I've been through it myself but you MUST hold onto life for yourself, for your children and for your family. I know it all feels hopeless and sh*tty right now but it WILL get better. You can rebuild your life - never doubt it!xx

boy it so doesn't feel that way now, but yep Jacula is right

11:58 am

I just feel dead

11:58 am

kate - Think of someone, a friend or family member that you can call now to support you and have a good cry with, then call them.

dead people don't feel ( : but I know what you mean

11:59 am

You are emotionally exhausted, Kate. And who wouldn't be. You've taken a beating lately.

11:59 am

katie - Your feelings are normal; it's a grieving process.

11:59 am

you know, your body sends chemical signals in response to shock....and gradually reabsorbs them and you begin to feel a little lighter... it will happen!

12:00 pm

all I know is I need to get out of here and get to canada

12:00 pm

you are stronger than you know.

12:01 pm

Are there any faith based organizations (churches,shelters, etc.) that you can turn to, Kate? They might be able to provide some emotional as well as financial support right now. Most types of places have an influx of cash right after the holidays.

12:01 pm

Kate, I just was reading your websites. I like the trials you have documented. And your girls! How beautiful! You are going to be OK. My mom and dad divorced and there were 3 of us kids. We are all OK. Both remarried. Things will get better!

12:03 pm

I just don't know what to do right now, I know I can manage in the long run, i know I'll pick up the peices somehow, but right this minute I don't know what to do with myself

12:05 pm

well my mom passed away in sept and I had a hard christmas... I know what's it like to lose someone youthought you would have for a long time, but you just be and get up and take care of your girls and yourself and stop beating yourself up and try to figure out your next steps.

12:06 pm

katie - again, that is a perfectly normal feeling. You feel like a caged animal, not sure whether to pace aimlessly, run about and panic or just roar with pain and frustration. Step back, take a few deep breaths and try to re-centre yourself. Relaxation tapes can help - even bring the healing tears you so desperately need.

((ypsi))

right Jacula

12:09 pm

Got to go and make dinner now. My sympathy for your loss, ypsi. Katie - Hold on to things. You WILL come through this.

12:09 pm

hi all..does anyone have the first ac6 pls?

12:10 pm

I have to go now too...... off to lunch, take care KATE!

bye jac

by ypsi hello rolin

12:10 pm

sorry, I am reading, I just don't know what to say

12:10 pm

got it thx

12:10 pm

bye ypsi ((hugs)) :)

12:11 pm

my partner found it...(he made me say this..lol)

that's fine kate, and really nothing we can say or even do will help, you have to work thru your grief

lol rolin

12:11 pm

you don't have to say anything kate, just hang in there.

12:12 pm

down to my last 8, and time for a break... later all :)

12:13 pm

I feel like I've been shot

ac + lymph ****

12:14 pm

bye for now, everyone. (((hugs))) kate

12:21 pm

have to go now, everybody. Kate, take care and know that you can get through this. God bless.

12:23 pm

thanks everyone for being here, I feel a little less alone

I have a website that I go to when I need prayer, you have to register, but the people are great, www.naznet.com if you are interested

babblers are great encouragers too I have found

it's great being able to share with you kate

the internet is amazing

12:27 pm

kate, is there anyone IRL you can talk to? maybe give your mom a call?

back

hi smiley and feather

12:28 pm

hi gramma

12:30 pm

i'm having a hard time seeing the words today

any clue for co6/33? plz and ty

12:31 pm

past tense of co4/8 if you have it

they are definately hiding today

12:31 pm

i thought i was doing soo well, but still got 105 to go...:-(

don't have that one either

12:32 pm

you mean the hair one sparkly?

I can't see the last sh4/5 besides being hurt by a gun

12:32 pm

the hood cap one feather

12:33 pm

ok, same one, different meanings

ty got it

12:33 pm

aha

12:33 pm

feather: something you put on your feet

12:34 pm

co4/8 - co + 2 letter word meaning whether/possibly

12:34 pm

then past tense will give you the co6

12:34 pm

i have the one sparkly is talking about, and the past tense of it. now is the feet one the same points? or a different word?

12:35 pm

Hello Babblers.

hi swmbo

12:35 pm

feet one is same points

12:35 pm

ok, looking. thanks.

I think the feet clue was for me, but I already have all the feet sh's

12:36 pm

oh! lol, i was trying co words

looking for the last sh4 after the coastline, but not being hurt by a gun

12:37 pm

the last sh4 is sh + bu**ed treasure

12:37 pm

not sure of the definition....

12:37 pm

gramma, I can't believe you have 14 grandchildren! How very prolific a family you have. My mother, who had 9 children, has only 11 grandchildren. WOW

wow I should have known that, ty sparkly

12:37 pm

:)

12:38 pm

I'm really struggling with the first 2 yo words! does anyone have them and can clue?

ty swmbo, prolific is a great word to describe my family lol

12:38 pm

days of yo**

12:39 pm

thats the one I have annie, it's the yo4/8 and the yo5/18 I can't seem to find

12:39 pm

yo4/8 - Hebrew letter, ends with two unlikely consonants

there is 5 generations of women in my family, my gramma is only 76, and my oldest grand is 11, so very likely could be 6 gens

12:40 pm

where the blooming heck are all the F words?

12:40 pm

thanks vic! would never have got those 2 :)

1:28 pm

Each little step helps you get back to normal.

1:28 pm

Joey is back from the vet's with a good prognosis. He's probably going to have to become a house rabbit from now on though. Could be awkward... with 2 cats.

1:32 pm

1:32 pm

I don't dare put my music on, I'm not ready to cry yet

1:33 pm

jac, depends on your cats i guess

1:33 pm

I know I'll be alright eventually, I just don't know how to manage this particular day

1:34 pm

kate, you are breathing :) and we are all here to give your emotional support.

1:34 pm

10:29 pm

Oh B*gger! Just taken a trip up the stairs, after helping newly arrive home daughter with latest feeing on sick rabbit. Last advice I gave other half re too-hot bedroom was 'leave door open'. It seems to have worked for him because he is sleepinf (and not even snoring). However, he has, in his tossing & turning, dragged entire bottom sheet and mattress cover off my side of bed. I cannot sleep on what's there and I can't put it right either, with Other Half's weight on it.:((((

10:29 pm

thank you...firworks!!

10:29 pm

HI BJ! Happy New Year to you... soon!

10:29 pm

Happy New Year Jacs.

10:31 pm

I know folks who each have their own quilt to avoid that problem

10:31 pm

well, that sounds like quite an adventure, jac!

10:31 pm

Harp - Hi! The suv explanation - that's a 4-wheel drive thingey here then. Like I thought.

10:32 pm

or their own bedrooms *snicker*

10:32 pm

They call them 4x4s in Albion...

10:32 pm

SUV pretty much = selfish b*stard here

10:32 pm

call them road hazards in canada....

10:33 pm

Hmm - I'll huff and puff a lot when I go up... if he opens his eyes, or even one eye, after that, I'll hit him with my 'Evil Bitch' look. That should do the trick! LOL.

10:33 pm

BJ - They are called 'Essex Tractors' here in UK.

10:34 pm

the thing is, most people who have them don't actually NEED that sort of vehicle, they do very little driving that uses the four-wheel drive. We just need them because we THINK we need them!

10:34 pm

we sensible subaru drivers drive up the snowy mountain at a reasonable speed, passing all the SUVs overturned on the side of the freeway... thought they could go fast because of the size of their vehicle

10:34 pm

anyone want a clue before I leave?

10:34 pm

go subaru drivers! That's what we have too!

10:34 pm

they cannot need those vehicles becauuse they are completely useless. no carrying capacity

10:35 pm

the seven sisters rule!

10:35 pm

hi nan!

10:35 pm

Same here, Harp. I do live in a semi-rural village where half of us DO need that type of vehicle (or just a basic Land Rover) but most of these stupid car owners are women driving kids 50 yards to school down a tarmac road!

10:35 pm

hi babblers!

10:35 pm

i love freezing rain up here. Get to see all the corvettes and suv's in the ditch.....

10:36 pm

yes, nan, ac7, 32

10:36 pm

Well, if you need a vehicle that will take a harp through the mountains one day, and a family through the mountains the next, then you could make a case for it. But most just want to be the biggest SOB (oops, excuse me SUV) on the road...

10:36 pm

plural of ac6 21

10:37 pm

lol brandyjack! Ever drive over Snowqualmie Pass near Seattle? It would be easy to negotiate if it weren't for the porches that get stuck and slow everything else down!

10:37 pm

hi o2b

10:37 pm

BJ - we used to do that in North Wales. Sometimes we'd drag 'em out with the tractor or land rover... sometimes we wouldn't.

10:49 pm

o2 see fran's clue

10:50 pm

co9 is the plural of a long-gone animal that is co8/50. co8 = co* (dupe) + vowel + squashed up form of do not. The 9 adds the usual consonant for the plural.

10:58 pm

so does the UK have graduated prices based on the vehicle you drive?

10:58 pm

I'm in Tucson, AZ. It was chilly here today, only in the high 50s, but there is snow on our mountains.

11:53 pm

So, can I ask? Why is evryon so keen to shunt 2006 out?

cause it sucked

11:53 pm

Good question Jac and Hi

11:53 pm

we wont talk about snow or cold...lol I used to live in safford...used to is the operative word! :-)

11:53 pm

it more than sucked it was horrible

11:53 pm

I'm not. It went way too fast. Remember when your parents used to tell you that you shouldn't wish you were older because time goes by way too fast as it is. It's very true.

11:54 pm

Does anyone really belive on year will be bette than the next? Time is what you make it.

11:54 pm

no, i think next year will suck too

11:54 pm

I'm going to be away from babbling except for a bit after the flip until after 2006 departs

11:54 pm

yes it is too true Shannon.

11:54 pm

But every bad thing that happens is soon just a memory.

11:54 pm

my outlook is there's no way it will be as bad

11:54 pm

11:54 pm

Actually my year turned out to be pretty good so I have no complaints

Come on! Get with you it you lot! When my Dad was in a closed ward due to dementia, and, belive me it was hard out-running him to the door, where he'd then beat on it and yell, 'Don't leave me! I want to go home!' (But, he'd do that when he WAS at home, too.)

11:59 pm

11:59 pm

MC, AF guys are safe, relatively, so don't be too worried.

12:00 am

12:00 am
