lol stid been there done that got the certificate lol
the stories i could tell you about kieran growing up lol
I am positive you are not a bad mother, stid
oh kiwi! {{{{BIG HUGS}}}} how did your meeting with the school go? I have been thinking about you overtime...
wohooo all the 7 8 9 done
go kiwi go!
had another talk with them today - kieran will not be punished and they will send off the bill for replacing his uniform to the other kids parents
but im still not happy so the letter has gone to the board of trustees and i will be at their next meeting in october for the reply
good. poor kiddo... is his nose feeling better yet?
not really - he had it operated on yesterday to straighten it and has a cast from the forehead to the bottom of the nose stuck on with thick tape
ouchie. {{[gentle hugs for kiwikid}}}
but we have two weeks of spring break now so he can relax and get his confidence back
clue icon posted
hi nan!
hi stid
oh good. well, if it helps, let him know that there are people all over the world thinking of him? my kids always get a kick out of being told things like that
hi nan and ty
Hey Everyone. Anyone seen mrp today?
not yet lickety
hi lickety! no, haven't seen her in a few days with this dumb new schedule of mine
Everyone needs to make her feel extra special today - I woke up feeling like a cut snake and had no tolerance.
oh lickety teas
es
oh oh... lickety do you need to share Lucky's doghouse for a few days?
go buy some flowers lickety...
still looking for that ce 8 -- is it too early for clues?
Yeah - I think I should - might make it easy on her - it's hard enough for her as it is.
I'll go write her a note lickety so she knows where you've gone...
what you are BOTH dealing with is really hard. Be as patient with yourself as you can be ...
I'm so proud of her! She's doing so well.
nan ce 8/45 highly venomous viper of northern Africa and southwestern Asia having a horny spine above each eye
I am glad she is doing well -- is she getting frustrated with how long it's taking?
go write her a nice soppy im sorry note
now why didn't I know that Groovy?! -- lol
because i didnt either and monkeyed it by accident lol
ty kiwi
hi stid -- grant broke his arm again? same arm?
okay, I am really tired and need to be up again in 6.5 hours -- Lickety, a nice movie and her favorite dessert... *stern mama look* and tell her you are sorry.
stid - of course she is frustrated - I know I would be! Healing is taking time, but she's also trying to do what she can.
oops. yes ma'am jill ma'am
of course she is lickety -- and so are you and the children.
*shaking head* poor grant!
stid - go to bed - babble will still be here tomorrow
*nods* yep. poor kiddo. he will miss out on some of the fun things at camp next week.
that kid has so much energy -- he must be frustrated
mmm, more chocolate
thanks kiwi. I think I will go to bed. Jill -- I am working in Mother's classroom tomorrow, will be home in the evening and check mail then. He is frustrated, but if we can keep him from making it worse before the cast goes on it might be a relatively quick downtime
no cast yet stid?
okay, kiwi, I am going to sleep. Tom is going to come to sleep too... *looks over at Tom's computer*
sweet dreams stid
G'night, stid
night stid, take care
no, they splint for the first few days jill to let the swelling go down beforehand, but it's the same solid casting material, just not all the way around the limb. and now, I fade out slowly.... *blows kisses to Jill and all*

ps**! hi all
GM all. Can anyone tell if you can play the square from Lickety's page?
Can someone please explain to me how, once I get into meet & greet in Bab Anon, how I leave a message for FranMag?
I dont think I understand your question Galey, and Flask no I am not sure how to do that
ok Meiliae...thanks anyway!
I'm so new at this. Theres the daily square on lickety's page. It looks like you can play it. It shows the clues with boxes. You can check them off.
Atal...surely you can help me????
hello everyone
Hi lynxxx
Morning lynxxx!
Galey go to bottom of page and click on Licketys List
Lynxxx can you please help me?
Hi Galey - nice icon! The grid on Lickety is probably the same as the babble one - some people print off Lickety's list which is why he has it shown there as well. You enter the words in the square at the top of the list and it will go to the right place on the list. You can also bulk add, see the instructions at the bottom. Have you asked Lickety for Babble Expert yet though?
Hi Flask...no I am sorry, I have looked at Babb Anon but have never done anything with it. Sorry
flask!...i think you make an account first !!
Ok thanks anyway, I tried last night too...but my carers arrived so I had to abandon it........and woke this morning with it on my mind......
Djin..thanks!
yw!
anyone have teh de 6/21?
ok Flask what you need to do is find a post that Fran made over there, then click her name on the box to the left, it will bring up her profile and in there you will see an option to leave her a message, provided of course that she has an account there
nm found it
I looked around and I didnt see an option to see who all is members or a way to have a friends list either yet
franw66 at aol dot com ... that is frans email in babble, just fix up the @ and . signs
Hi MRP
Morning MrP. thanks....and thanks to you too Meliae....
thank you Mrp
Poor Fran, just can't stop thinking about her....
anyone help me with the ce 8/45?
I know I feel so badly for her
what's happened to Fran !!!!!!
Haven't start yet ruru......sorry!
Her sister was hit by a car and did not survive
what is wrong with Fran?
oh bad news
Lynxxx....her middle sister was killed yesterday by a car
which Fran?
lots of people distracted in our babble world today worried about our Frannie
FranMag..Liz!
OMG that is so dreadful :(
oh no ! thats so bad....
we just got Mrp home from the hospital and feeling better, feather had her baby and is up and around, and now this =(
Yes I know......and there's not a lot we can do...except let her know we are here for her!
I wish there was a way we could make an e-card and all sign it for her, but we do have the post at Bab anon
Is there anywhere we can leave a message of support for her and her family
acre
sorry mind was elsewhere
we should start a new post there titled Dear Franmag or something to that effect, that we can all leave our condolances on
I know Meliae....and its times like this when you realize just HOW mysterious the workings of "him upstairs" really are!!
would you do that please Flask? then we can direct people to that thread
there is a thread in bab anon.....I just don't know how to add to it!
have you registered?
I have tried several times!
that one is telling us what happened I think we need a new one directed specifically to Fran
tried that too....but to no avail!
and you went to your e-mail they sent you and confirmed it 2 times?
what about on the good reads site - could we leave messages there?
you have to go to your e-mail account 2 times and click the links to get it activated
I think I am just going to send an email directly to her......at franw66@aol.com
good idea Flask
not sure Liz would have to ask MRP about that
sorry meliae, about what?
about the goodreads
oh didn't realise mrp was on that one. Sorry, being dim
Morning all What a nice grid for the end of the week.
I have emailed Fran like Flask said I think that is best.
Morning FM
goodmorning FM
Hi Liz, afternoon lynxxx
Liz, got my first tutorial on the 4th!!

hi lynxxx!

ouch that one took a loooooooonng while
LOL!
So, sprite, now that you are babble celebrity, do we have to address you as ma'am? or, your eminence?
your icon just inspired me to have a belated small breakfast with chocolate, Haz :D
everyone knows about Franmag correct?
are there any words using the x
lol... what made me celebrity all of a sudden then?
your spiteness
spriteness
The icon was in honour of Scarlet's birthday yesterday. She LOVES chocolate.
yes meliae, and so sorry for her :(
lol rurr
I'm glad you rephrased that, ru....
oops my typing is way off today
coolgirl, there's a precise word using the x.
LOLLLL spiteness... no, that does not fit. I think sprite will do fine.
There's also an ap4.
Ive found four coolirl
4 even, haz, and it took me ages to find them, lol
a multimedia star giving readings and selecting programming
and 4 ex words
I haven't found them all yet - still in the first round.
found a fifth
am sorry 'bout this but can someone PLEASE tell me what a sun god is called?
lol BabbleRabble... hardly! A babbler sharing pieces of books and fun, rather, I'd say.
thanks folks
Don't forget, BabbleRabble, we knew her BEFORE celebrity. We can give interviews on whether we think she has changed.
Flask: hip hip Hoo**!
good nite all ... good luck your spriteness! lol..
Flask - first two letters of what athletes run.
we knew her back when the letter K was a dirty word!
carm
lol... *goes in hiding fast*
nini Ruru
Yep, so true
hey hey, K is always a dirty word!
night ruru, sweet dreams
~takes notes to send to National enquirer~
*she yelled from out of her hiding place*
'night ruru!
please dont mention a k near a babble grid it makes me nervous
goodnite Ruru
granadan, you are a woman I can talk to :D
see you tomorrow... o tay!
2 hours till meds what shall i do to fill the time?
so... I take it you did not like the babblebook casts, BabbleRabble?
late for us Ruru, ~yawn~
what is the link to the babble book thing? I just have not had the time to go see what that is all about, and do I have to be a paid member here to see it?
sprte i dread to think how long we have been babbling!
mel - do you play Weboggle?
LOL Gran you sure you do not want to rephrase that?
years on end, granada :D
no, you don't have to pay at all, meliae
I tried it but no one was there and I got bored and left
let me find it for you
http://babblebooks.podbean.com/
grandan, you your case since June 2004! or was that a rhetorical question? Hi again, quick hello over morning coffee break.
you can just start one of the casts and listen to it, meliae, it is not a live chat
Hello FMitch - how are you?
Hi FMitch, and off to the penalty box with you!
on the contrary, sprite.... I just point out that celebrities sometimes leave the common folk behind in all the exitement of such mercurial rise to stardom
Sprite won't forget the little people.
Hi fmitch - I didnt realise you could date it! no is that date since goin pro or since babbling?
lol BabbleRabble... I am going nowhere and intend to keep it that way. Like it way too much here with you all. Guess you will have to deal with my growing arrogance ;)
Fine thanks Haz esp as it's Friday, you? Oh heck PB here I come :(
what little people Haz? Did I finally get some dwarfs to help me do the cleaning here???
No, no, it's the leprechauns you'll be looking for. They're a boon for the busy housewife.
owwwww I'd love those! Do I count as busy housewife? I bet I do !
I never once thought of you as arrogant, your eminence
Since you started gran, I don't have a crystal ball tee hee, it's in your onscreen profile. Click on yr icon and look in the very top right hand corner.
Just say busy housewife on the application form, the leprechaun supply people don't do much checking up.
*grins at BabbleRabble* Rattling my cage, aren't you?
Ta, found it fmitch!
*filling in form right now*
I'm new here,it appears to be nice and friendly :)
those darn leprechauns - keep them away, they eat all my teaspoons!
it is, ms_gilly, though sometimes quite silly :) Welcome to this addictive game!
And because they're so small, they don't take up much room, sprite. They'll pack in a suitcase and come on holiday as well.
miss gilly, theyre a lovely bunch. i come for the chat as much as the game
Welcome ms_gilly we are a friendly bunch although we do have our moments, don't we Haz?
oh, they can have my teaspoons if they like! No problem with that.
Haz, that is so great!
Yes, our cat-fights are legendary, aren't they, FMitch?
LOL all hail the CoG. Oh I haven't told you of the DoG yet *big grin*
when FMitch and Haz start throwing fish, it is time to dug.
Yes, leprechauns are invisible to x-ray so they just get waved through security examinations.
DoD even
I think I just fell in love with leprechauns.
unless you like fish of course
The DoD? Belonging to a diddy person?
Morning everyone - been here for a while but didn't like to interrupt the cabaret!
LOL no *turns reverb and echo machine on* The Dog of Dooooom!
I quite apologize if I offended you, spite.
Just make sure you have potatoes at all times, sprite. Leprechauns won't work unless they have their potatoes.
JFB, you are an addition, never an interruption
The Dog of Dooooooooooooom? Pronounced Frazer style?
LOL morning JFB
hello JFB !!
Good morning JFB!
ok all signed up I will have to listen in tommorow, thank you Sprite
Thank you sprite
BabbleRabble: no need for any apology, I enjoyed your teasing! Was just checking if I'd done anything to make you think I was thinking myself better than others.
great meliae, hope you will enjoy it :)
Yup thats the one Haz, My very own cutsey puppy wuppy given to me by Ata .. well actually a Scottie dog mug. The front part and back part with a mug in between.
A puppy wuppy? Cuteness!
FMitch, can we have a pic?
please pity please?
not at all, your eminence... you are not like that
So, if it's a Scottie, it should be a dog of McDoom.
well Sprite I could take issue with you finishing grids sooo fast - that does make me feel that you are much better than me
As soon as I get a new digi camera sprite definately. LOL Haz, even better
I am glad, BabbleRabble :) *takes bow at unearned title*
Good move meliae - Haz don't you think leprechauns should be issued with Babble so we can spend more time babbing?
lynxxx just mention KKKKKK words and that will bring her back down to earth.
ANd have you named the pup? And how is housetraining going - no unexpected leaks?
rofl Haz
lynxxx, I am nowhere near finishing. I could not even find the ex words today. I am absolutely not better. Just maybe more addicted.
lolol Haz !
hahaha FM
Did you not get your free leprechaun when you joined, JFB? I got a breeding pair. I'm overrun now.
*hits K-bottom hard*
I thought I would do a daily blog, pup has failed to curl up on my feet, spilled all over the place and because of it's dispositions definiately does not eat cake or curry.
getting cold here almost time to get the neighbor guy to fire up the heat for me
you still at work, meliae?
Oh, no curry?
I work at home, taking care of mentally handicapped adults, I have a foster home
But haggis, a Scottie pup would love haggis.
and yes I am on shift tonight =)
... and it hasn't spoken a word or rather a woof yet. Ah thats a thought and perhaps I should take up bagpipes?
oh, darn, I knew that, I am sorry meliae. Got it all mixed up again in this fuzzy brain.
And you could get a kilt to put round the mug when it gets cold.
As I am bereft of leprechauns I must go and do a few jobs. We have our house on the market and the strain of keeping it tidy and presentable all the time I'm either going to hit the bottle or tranquilisers!
I wouldn't take up the bagpipes, FMitch, especialy if you're going to move to a new place. There'd be petitions.
It is already wearing a nice red/grey/black tartan thanks.
I have 4 am meds (2 hours from now), then breakfast then I get to sleep
owwww JFB! I understand that, quite a burden! Hope you sell it fast.
nothing worse JFB ...bye for now
Oh JFB I am moving and looking!
I could send you over a leprechaun, JFB. They sleep six to a bunk bed so I'm sure you could find room. Just put them under the settee when house viewers come.
yes that is hard on the whole household never knowing when someone is going to want to look your house over
And make sure the viewers know that leprechauns don't dome with the house.
One advantage we have is that the 21 year old son is working away from home at the moment!
that must be a relieve indeed, lol
I'm sure he'll be delighted to know his absence is a relief!!
bbl - have fun!
Bye JFB!
thanks.. .I mean relief
Byee JFB
Has Atalante's internet connection got sorted out yet?
She was on earlier but I think it might be having some teething issues.
she is still having problems with it, but when it works, it works great!
Technology's great whle it works.
From what she was saying the new packages benefits far outweigh any initial hic ups.
RBR
goodnight to you all,see you tomorrow.I will join in the lobby talk as I get to become more familiar with you
ms_gilly, till tomorrow and don't hold back, we are open to your contributions! :)
Bye ms_gilly. You'll probably realise that some of us are more sensible than others. Nice to have you join us!
*now wonders which category Haz places herself in*
thankyou,I go another game site and talk lots there :)
Sensible, of course, sprite.
lol, I was afraid of that...
When have I ever talked anything but sense here?
Head mistress'ish?
whenever indeed... :)
Others may have stays in Homes for the Bewildered or Hostels for the Deluded, but not me.
I'm fine here with my dog and my leprechauns.
on a permanent stay :)
Of course Haz dear, now here just take this pretty pink and white pill.
There are other people here who wear pyjamas all day, but they're nothing to do with me.
haz just wears a 20 stone wedding dress and drinks baileys
... but wearing them to the library was a little questionable, don't you think?
Atalante! Good morning.
I'm not really here, but couldn't resist that!
dog is insisting on walk. will try and kick connection into working better when I get back
Hi Ata, where have you been? I've introduce the DoD to the babble family!
I suggest a non-violent approach, Ata.
yea, FMitch told us she hates it!
dog of DOOOOOOOOM!
Yes, we've heard about Dog of McDoooooooom. I'm commissioning a tartan.
howdy, yall
*gasp*
Ignore sprite, she is all out of sorts
take mine as well please ata!
And a little tammy to keep the tea warm.
I mentioned KKKK words and she didn't like it
ok, I lied. She just told us the dog does not do any of the things she expects from it :)
It's that celebrity status - sprite doesn't love us any more.
Hi ds, happy Fridays!
love you to pieces, Haz
hi dc!
Good morning dc.
ty, fmitch, morning haz.
Glad to hear it, sprite, you can paranoid in this place.
hi sprite
You can *get*. See, I can't even type now.
Or could paranoid be a verb? I paranoided when I realised someone was behind me.
I paranoided and parachuted.
Going to go and hit head on wall then make phone call to suppliers of ink cartridges that run out WAY before the warning 'low' mark.
of course paranoid can be a verb; we're speaking English!
Blame the Dog of Doom. I've heard they'll drink anything.
paranoia can save lives :) and being paranoid doesn't mean they are NOT after you.
So if you jump out of the way of a descending parachute, do you paravoid?
if you do it all the time because you only think you are attacked by parachutes, yes Haz
'I wasn't being paranoid, they were jumping on me'
Note to self - keep looking up.
grrrr. dog was pestering. I'll be back!
See you later, Atalante. Dog of Decision must be obeyed.
lol Haz
wow this conversation over here sure took a 180 degree turn when I left you were all chatting about the evils of the letter K and leprechans, and I come back to paranoid parachuters, feeding their dogs, LOL
such are the joys of babble meliae :)
I know. I keep trying to get them to talk about the grid, but oh no....
Grid what grid?
i know, meliae, and i came in in the middle of it. :)
eh... and why did that need any turn? Isn't that quite in line?
Now, don't get paranoid, meliae, but you may have been hypnotised.
dc pushed the steering wheel, I bet
Oh do you need a clue? she asked innocently <------ it's over there :)
well I suppose its a bit better than the poop one from a few weeks ago, LOL
We can get you back. FMitch is good at this sort of thing. She keeps my medicine.
oh, i'd never do such a thing, sprite :D at least not while anyone were looking
I dont have a clue, I think the leprechans stole it!
grin, that proves my point. I did not look!
is stolen clues how leprechauns make their lucky charms?
I think I need one of those charms then
Only the ones who have gone to the bad. Real leprechauns are scrup... scroop... very honest.
hello everybody - I am bew to babble - have I entered the Underworld?
no, xris, welcome to the Otherwordl.
No. this is reality. What you have lived before was just a bad dream.
ty that should of course have been new
hi xris... yes, in a way. Very nice Underworld though. Even though it is ruled by Enable, which lacks both PCness and any kind of logic.
LOL Haz and ds
Welcome to babble. Some people look for words in the grid over there, some of us exchange interesting ideas instead.
non-pc words are most useful in scrabble-like games, as are many archaiscims.
I am enjoying your chat very much even though I am extremely baffled most of the time.....
ah, but so are we, xris... so are we...
we're baffled most of the time too, here have some tea. *pours a cuppa for xris*
chuckles
Don't worry. You'll get the hang of it eventually. Just bear in mind that I'm very sensible, it's the others you have to worry about.
no sugar thanks
xris we are baffled too, typical of any day in babble land :)
Haz is right. Sure Haz. Relax now, okay?
haz is paravoid, but we like her anyway.
They're coming for me again. How many times do I have to take the pink and white pills?
and as long as you don't parachute on her, she will probably don't hate you either.
she is safe - I am a devout coward!
I bought a "parcel of land", the map to the land had to be "un wrinkled" before I could figure out the "worth" of my "spanish house." So I "tossed" my "hard gotten cash" to the wind to "the direction the sun rises" and hoped I had not placed all my "embryos" in one basket.
That's one thing you'll not get leprechauns doing. They have a deathly fear of heights so no parachuting for them. Top bunk is as high as they'll go.
there is a clue for ya! LOL
another reason to love leprechauns and xris then
LOL meliae! That is one helluva smart clue!
8 words in that clue!
ty meliae - I actually understood the clues - there is hope for me at the end of the trail...
working on the embryos, the rest is taken ca4 of. Wonderful :)
Sorry Haz, was administering to the DoD. No need for more meds yet, but it is time for your shot of voddy cooking sherry as its Friday
Good going mel.
I thought I might try going cold turkey today.
Do you want the turkey on white or brown?
fmitch, i didn't know you worked for the depatrment of defense.
Some people mentioned that I thought drink might be influencing me. I don't want to be paranoid but....
FMitch comes in many guises.
But lurking beneath is THE ADMINISTRATOR.
Sorry I can't say otherwise I self destruct at the end of the grid.
Hi
(I forgot to turn the echo machine and reverb on)
*Boom*
But you got the effect, right?
That wasn't self-destruction, was it? Or was it a parachutist out of control?
somehow this reminds me so much of a joke. This guy that comes to a psychiatrist because he has sexual problems. The shrink draws him a rectangle and asks what he sees in it. The guy says: "That is a bed... with a couple in it having sex."
You should have looked up, Fmitch!!
deep breathing Haz and look at the pretty yellow squares.
The shrink goes "Hm-m" and draws a square. "And this?" "That is a room," says the guy. "With at least 20 couples in it having sex."
But I need to know about the boom. Was it fireworks?
"Hmmmm" says the shrink and draws a circle. "What is this to you?" "That is a circus tent, big top. With a 1000 couples in it having sex," says the guy.
I see a pattern emerging.....
Someone must have ad fireworks. ... waiting foor the punch line.
"I think we really need to work on your fixation on sex," says the therapist. "What, on MY fixation?" the guys yells. "I am not the one drawing all those dirty pictures!"
lol
Hi
Thank you sprite!
Now Im going to look back in the log and see what make you think of mass sex sprite:)
hi lady
hello, infernal
lol FMitch!
Yes, let us know what you come up with, FMitch. Did you ring the ink people?
Hi Infernal, DC
Thanks Melia im working on your clue
ty for welcoming me - I will say bye for today - love your sense of humour!!!
yesterday I saw a man with a "bunch of women" I watched for awhile to be sure no "hurt" would come to them. They were "moving rapidly" and just about "out stepped me" but I followed close behind. Suddenly one turned and looked at me I watched how she "Behaved towards me" following them and wondered if they were going to perform some "holy rite" I was a bit "frightened" and put "more distance between us" But it turned out they were just going to a "health club" to sip on an "english beverage"
Bye xris - have a good day.
howdy, lynxxx
ciao, xris
Yup, sending me replacement post haste. blooming pain in the xxx hey ho.
bye xris
lol meliae, you are on a roll!
post ha5, FMitch, post ha5. Sigh...
to the penalty box with you FM!!
Thanks
FMitch loves it there...
Hi back
All looking good
Poor FMitch - that blow on the head from the parachute has affected her.
mea culpa spritey, I must be off anyway so wil leave you in peace till the next time :))
Bye Haz TTFN
And I should go as well. FMitch has her Dog of Doom, I have my Dog of Distinction beside me.
in pe5, FMitch, in pe5... double sigh :D
*hugs Haz and FMitch* Thanks for the laughs!
hasta, fmitch and haz
Bye for now, Fmitch. Looks like you'd be in the penalty box for a loooooooong time if you stay around.
now hasta is a phantom, I can live with that :)
bye FM
Okay, time to go - bye all!
Thanks mel
*poof*
bye Haz
somehow, i've got to be rested enough to work tonight. Not sure how i'm going to do that.
lemme think... by going to bed NOW?
i 've only been up for an hour, after sleeping for 5.
I am happy that i have found out the gov have stuffed my claim
ok... how about a walk outside to get the head cleared up, and then a little nap?
it's still dark, and a bit chilly, so for now, no thank you.
maybe in a bit though. The dog would enjoy a wakl.
brr
phamtom: gamophobia
ah ,the roommate is up.
HI babble
My doctor rocks
hello, herin
morning, babrab
mine has rocks
hello, dcseain
I give up :) You figure it out for yourself, dc :D
in the kidneys, BabbleRabble?
Mine just told the social services that they are dumb arses
eventually, i shalll :| this has not been a good week for sleep.
that's a useful thing in a doctor, lady.
He told me I am one of a personality not conducive to the techniques he employs and wished me well
That is very usefull he even hand wrote an explaination
nice.
babrab, your doctor fired you?
Yes. Babble you worked with a doc?
yep
my god BabRab - and were you speechless?
some doc
psychologist
did s/he at least give you a reference?
me, speechless? hardly ever
lol
he should be kicked in the .... where it hurts I mean. He basically tells you he is inadequate to help you and wishes you WELL? The very very least he could do is referring you to someone who is more capable!
he told me about some studies that contend there are a small percentage of people that will not benefit from therapy
talk or psychoactive?
he is not the first one to tell me that
and really, there are many different ways of handling such.
talk, in this case
now I am speechless. Or well, no I am not. I am mad. That is some mean thing to say to a person. So he cannot help you and in stead of admitting he is lacking skills, he tells you it is because you cannot be helped? The idiot.
babble that is rude and mean and well not helpfull
I was not very upset.... I been to many, many mental health professionals ... I learn what I can
you seem to have your sh** together to me BabRab - more so than many
I think in a way the man may be right... in the sense that you are the only expert in this field, BabbleRabble. You help yourself and take from each professional what can be of use. I think it is a tough way to go, but a very rewarding one in the end. I admire you.
when the therapist starts asking me what he/she can do to help me, it is a pretty good indicator of their frustration with me.
lol, mine asks that same question every time!
ultimately, it is still my life and it is still up to me
i hate that question. If i knew that, why would i be paying them.
yay dc, that is it exactly. If I knew, I would be doing it myself.
That is a great motto to live by, BabbleRabble. You have said it before. I remember.
I think i have found a wonderful place to hide
I generally respond by asking them to get me assignments ... what they perceive I need to work on .... I very much believe in beeing very active in the process
ok, kids to feed lunch to, back later. I enjoyed the fun earlier and the good talk now. You guys are the best.
i agree, babrab, that's important.
later, sprite
they sometimes forget that they are working for me ...
bye for now Sprite
later sprite'
See you sprite .... errr your eminence
Good day everyone!!!!
yes, babrab, some docs are like that :|

Scarlet hi
How are you, Lady? Are you nearing Spring yet, or still in the winter doldrums?
It is spring but its a bit crappy still/ How are you
We have finally had a cool front and the mornings have been nippy (compared to the 75-degree 5 a.m.) We really like the mountains...
oh pretty
has anyone heard from fran?
It's still so nice... and the gardens are still flourishing... nice for the near-end of September. No, I haven't Lady. I tried to post yesterday but had several difficulties.
I don't know whether my condolence was "taken" or not... you are Net-Savvy, Lady, if it isn't there, could you please help me with getting a message there?
Is it from Scarlet?
I cant log into the stupid board
Yes, Lady. That I cannot imagine her pain, and that family is everything. I send my deepest condolences to her and her family.
I cant log into the board either
I wonder why it is being so cranky?
I cant remember the stupid password to the board
are you part of the goodreads board?
OH! I didn't know there was a password to that particular thread... No, no Goodreads here, Lady.
I don't think anyone would be interested in what I read...
ok
Um you need to register to post or get a member to post
A member of what? The Babble line? I am so out of it with techie talk and terminology...
Ok errr
Did you want to email me something and ill forward it
I even e-mailed my daughter yesterday to get her password... she is the one who originally started with this site, and "gifted" me with it.... and I never re-log in...
ok
um scarlet is there anything you want to say and ill email her?
Okay, Lady... that sounds like a partial solution to the problem. Thank you for your kindness.
does anyone have the 2nd er5 & er6 please
Hi everyone
Let me click on your icon for the address, and I'll send something in a bit.
Scarlet, did you have a nice birthday yesterday?
Hi, peri and 10s... peri, LOl... your wonderful music is in my heart. It was a wonderful birthday... maybe one of the best, ever!
10s, it is to build, and plural
I dont have emai addy
When I received a phonecall from an old friend, long thought "disappeared"... I just felt so teary-eyed and happy... that is a true present.
Did you want me to post it here?
That's great Scarlet, glad it was a good one
HI peri and Katy

Hi, Katy!

lady, can you tell her from me too? That I am so very very sorry for her loss and that I am thinking of her, and that I hug her from afar?
peri, isn't is sobering that the small, nagging things in life can be annoying, but when something so tragic happens, it pulls you into reality and makes you feel more in touch with gratitude for what is in your own life?
yes indeed Scarlet
sprite!! *Hugs to you!*
Scarlet, fyi I quite Chico's yesterday
*hugs Scarlet right back* Hi, so good to see you!
gm all
Oh, I'm sorry that it wasn't what you wanted, peri... but this just means that something better is just around the corner... you can't arrive if you don't get started! LOL

Well, only you can make the determination of what best suits you, per... so, best of luck with the job-hunting... Maybe Borders will be your new "address"...
Dear Sprite: How are you these days? LOL
Ug Bugger about the job Perri.
Esprite did you want me to add a message. I still havent sent the email yet

You have done a truly good deed today. Thank you!
As long as your ok with it Peri but still arr annoying

may I have a piece pls
Um i dont think there is enough to share :(
you could PRETEND!
Oh, ok. goes off and pouts...
aloha, Babblers, and happy Friday. any clues for the CE8?
Hi angel
what sort of broken is your brain, herin?
Sorry Phan I would share but I think there is one truffle in the box when i can open the damn thing.
*tapes mouth shut for angel's question*
Depression anxiety the usual angst
hi Angel
morning angel, ask jean!
lol
got the CE 8
by reading the earlier chatlog angel?
I was going to say that, Katy but I decided it would be cruel.:)
i just couldn't resist jac
awwww :( thats no fun
no, Jean...just monkeyed it
i bet i put carma in at least 6 times! my mind cant understand why you can't use an "e" on the end! lol
but you're lucky that you can get disability for that!
No its not but the doctor is awesome. He is doing a mental health health care plan that goes to medicare so i can have discount psychiatrist people. I am in the midst of government battle as they are stupid
the government stupid?! The hell you say!
ca5.22 uses an x also.. hi fellow babblers!
Well centrelink are being a bit stupid (they are the nice people that give me money) when it comes to my form as they asked the same question twice but reveresed so they took the Yes as a No
thanks aloyisius, thanks the one i was searching for with carma
yw.. glad you found it, Katy
I wish we could get disability for such things *sigh*
Thank you, Aloy and good morning to Babble's newest and happiest grandmama... *hug* :-)
There is different levels of pensions here. its not easy to apply for a pension. I have been ill for 2 years with another 2 in the futer
(-: woke up smiling.. ty Scarlet
Awwwww....
so you are depressed and anxious too, Ata ?
Poor Ata it sucks to be on the 'not normal' scale but what is normal i say
on occasion LOL. well, I have quite bad "bipolar" whatever that may actually be. Anxiety attacks, hypomania, baaad depression, paranoia, you name it, I had it!
Scarlet karma paid off i just got expensive gourmet chocolate given to me.
hello
I prescribe a good dose of meditation...
Oh, Lady... it is true: what goes around comes around... always!
morning robin
Hi Robin
woohoo got all the R;s!
meditation, dog walking and lots of lithium LOL
Ata dear, you would never know to *see* you in the log and you don't go on about it, hugs.
hi robin
Ata that is bipolar there is either run about like a five year old on red cordial or doors and blinds stay shut days.
how is every one
well bipolar isnt *quite* that simple, herin ....
cats
At least you seem to have a happy balance happening and Hobbit loves his/her fur mum
Good morning, FMitch and robin!
Hello Aloy, hows Grandma and Grandpa today *grin*
ahhh but now you see me after the calming effects of dog walking, meditation and medication ;)
I know that its not that simple nothing ever is with our brains
Or furter exposure to Firefly, which I have just seen ( the first few episodes)
hi there, FMitch.. have you been lurking? We are fine.. hope you are too.. (-:
did you like it??????
hi scarlet
Hi FMitch.
Red cordial?
Firefly is one of those i cant pin point why i dont like it shows
No re lurking, just looking over the parapet into babble land, whilst waiting for some printing to finish. alls well here too.
Ata - just noticed that you appear to have moved across the world.
got to go
only in my imagination, unfortunately
I *love* firefly
Afternoon Jacs and Hi Scarlet
FMitch... you are one of those wonderfully positive people... so good to see!
It is greatttttt; cannot imagine why they cut it after one series
*give Scarlet a little hug and then blushes*
woohoo! wait till you see the episode Jaynestown. You'll just love even more. Its such a fantastic series
Firefly didnt rate that is why :(
Lady, please... what is red cordial?
I loved buffy
hi
yes, you are, FM!
mmmmm Jayne
Hi, Liz.
Awwwww *hugs to FM*
Good morning, Lizsark!
much better i think than the other Joss Wheeldon thing; the over-rated Buffy
HI Fm
anyone heard from Fran?
Red Cordial is liquid red drink
I agree. Firefly is intelligent sci-fi. Like Bab 5
Hi Liz
I loved buffy just as mindless brain fluff
But, what is it, Lady... alcohol, medication in a liquid base, or a kid's sugared drink?
Cordial = old fashioned fruit drink type thingy. No Liz, don't think we will hear from her for a little while.
Firefly is the best TV show ever made.
No I dont suppose so FM I just wondered
is ge 8/9 a compound word using the word above it?
woot! yay Inge!
no I don't think so...
Thank you, FM and Lady... never heard of it until today...
:) ata
could adam baldwin be any hotter.
hows Hobbit Ata?
not really!
Hi, Inge2!
hello everyone
Another Firefly big fan - why on earth did they cut it ?
hi Scarlet :)
hobbit is *fine* check my flickr LOL she's just had a trim as well, and looks very sleek and beautiful
Scarlet think of the era of Little Women and What Katy Did, harks back to that.
aww bless
Scarlet have you heard of Syrup?
morning Annie
Not enough ratings Zen
Good morning, AnnieBrooklyn! *Hugs to you!* Thank you, FM and Lady... now I get it!
which is insane, because *so* many people adore it
Seriously, Zen. Fantastic cast, incredible writing, funny, great characters, beautiful set...
Luv the attention thief piccy Ata
mornin babblers!
Scarlet, just read my email, will answer later {{hugs}}
Must have been too intelligent for most people
They put in on a Saturday night, I think, opposite some tough competition. It didn't get the attention it deserved till after it was pulled
she sticks her head up through the crook of my arm when she wants attention!
Okay, Annie! Did you see "A Chorus Line"? Was it just too wonderful?
Also, I think it was very expensive to produce (check the set) for a TV show
Scully used to pat me with her front paws when she wanted attention :) Theres nothing like a cocker for wanting to be centre of attention
when the baseball season ends, I will return to regular programs, I have been drawn into baseball this year and love it
Oh, Annie... Last Friday
ok I have to dash. Have fun all
Yes, I agree Inge; it is tragic that it wasn't continued - can we start a petition with Ata
A Chorus Line was wonderful. Just as good as the original
Summer Glau who played River was the dancer in Angel as was Amy Acker (fred) till an injury ended her dancing career
Friday's comeback win over the Red Sox was the stuff of dreams... what a hootin' hollerin' game for the NY Yankees!!
if petitions had any effect, we'd be at about firefly season 7 now!
Scarlet, what did the Yanks do yesterday? I missed the game. I thought they played at night but could not find them at all
yup, ata! I like Wash's little set of dinosaurs on the bridge. "We have discovered a new planet...we will call it This Land!"
that would be great Ata; I would see alot more of Inara then.....
oh yes, they were so cute. and jayne's "I'll be in my bunk"
Oh must start watching firefly
Money makes things go round
Annie, you will love the character interaction
dont worry, Zen, you see a lot more of her later in the series LOL
Annie, I was out kicking up my heels with beloved to celebrate... I haven't looked at Sports'Center on ESPN or looked at the sports pages yet... not known, but they are going to snag the AL East... I can feel it... and the Cubbies have some magic going on this year...
bottom S please help the one next to the EE
Haha, Jayne... my wireless basestation is named after him. And his gun, Vera.
Scarlet, what is happening to your Mets? I hope they dont blow it
If you buy the DVDs you get several more episodes taht were never even aired...and they are GOOD
Oh excellent news Ata; that has cheered me up no end
we roll played Buffy for a while
Inara is just *gorgeous*
I need to see Buffy. I have a doctor friend who tells me it's all about life...the meaning of life. He is quite serious.
Did you like Mal ?
Yes in my next life I want to come back as Inara...or Sophia Loren.
HElp with that S please next to the Es
Mal's ok. He's a great foil for the other characters. But Jayne and Inara steal the show I think. And Wash, in an understated way
Mal? Of course! Captain Tightpants. He's the man. Quirky sense of honor, tongue-tied in front of the ladies...totally charming.
I have to buy ANgel as i have all of Buffy and i must buy firefly
and so amusing with his wife
in my next life I want to be Inara's husband - or even one of her customers....
hows everyone doing this morning?
that's a great episode. LOL
Annie... the Mets are going for the classic New York flame-out and Willie Randolph must be crying in his pillow every night... the bats are cold, the bases don't go so swiftly for Jose Reyes and the fielding looks like the Mets of 1962! :-)
morning Eva, doing well here thanks
HELP Waves help
HElp with that S please next to the Es
Hi Eva
I wouldn't mind being Zoe either.
dont have it yet herin
bags, herin. sa4
Poor Mets....incantations might help
thanks
nor me, infernallady
not sure about Zoe. she never *does* anything that any other character couldnt do
down to 17 words left. gonna leave it for tonight. Have wonderful days. My girls are running in a 3 mile race this afternoon.
im just eating breakfast here -- TGIF, i say!
what? she's a warrior.
ty Ata
What about Simon though; is he too prissy for the girls ?
phand, good luck to the girls!
good luck to the girls phand!
thnx
Simon's a bit prissy, yes...but he is actually very strong and gutsy in his way.
I love River
I'm laughing very hard, Annie... I'll contact the local wicca groups... it worked for the magnolia tree, after all...
She does a great job in that role, infernal
i wish i understood people better -- have you all heard about the shooting at Delaware State University?
Zoe was Jasmine in Angel
only a bit, Eva...they're still looking for the shooter, no?
Yes, Eva... another heartbreaking day in this country...
No, Eva, what happened?
ANother one?
http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/09/21/delaw are.shooting/index.html only 2 shot, i think...both survived... still looking for the shooter
hadnt heard about that Eva
hi all, I am so sorry, got disconnected, connection went haywire and I couldn't reconnect until now. Sorry to have cut of the conversation just like that.
hi sprite
i only heard when i checked CNN this morning... why do people rampage like that? *le sigh*
must say bye again too, just wanted to let you know I did not disappear on purpose :)
i like simon's character very much, but not as a omg-you're-gorgeous guy. adam baldwin scores there
*hugs Scarlet*
Must go to work now...have a great day all. Nice chatting.
hi and bye, sprite.. (-:
bye sprite and Inge2
HI and bye sprite
head desj
bye, Inge2..

*Hugs back, spritey*
fireworks...
Who were the other ladies to post that wicked Truffle Pie recipe... other than ch1212... I made it yesterday and it is sin on a platter!
watching damages again
Yippee for Angelsong!
yah angel
Congrats Angel
woohoooo Angel congrats!
yay angel!
woohooo got the ge9! silly word
Truffle Pie you say???????
A wee clue, Ata, please?
ermmmm! ge4/6 + ca5/12
Yes, chiley... killer... 10 Oz. 100% cacao, 1 C sugar, five eggs, 1/2 pound of unsalted butter... ohhhh
faints at such divine thoughts of choc heaven
Thank you, Ata...will hunt and peck...
Scarlet im getting fat thinking about it
FM... it is one of the richest, most sinful desserts know to mankind...
That's it? What kind of crust?
No crust... Let me get the recipe, chiley... it's not complicated...
Ata! thank you! got the ge9
Nevermind mankind, what about womankind!! :)
LOL, FM... yesterday was the chocolate heaven day...
Fireworks
Congrats to Merk
yay annie!
Thank you ... have a great day. It timed out perfectly ... my grandson is just waking up.
Chocolate Truffle Pie 1 c sugar 10 oz semisweet or bittersweet choc (I use chips, or you can break up chunks) 2 (1 oz) squares unsweetened choc 2 sticks (8 oz) unsalted butter 5 eggs Combine 3/4 c sugar and 1/3 cup water and boil in microwave. Stir in semisweet and unsweetened choc's and butter until melted. Beat eggs and remaining 1/4 c sugar on high speed until almost double in volume. Stir egg mix into choc mix until well blended. Turn into greased and parchment-lined springform pan or, as I prefer, a round silicone pan. Set pan in larger baking pan so that you can add enough water to the outer pan to reach 1 inch up the side of the inner pan. (If you use a springform and it doesn't have a tight seal, it will leak and the corners of your pie will be a little mushy, hence the silicone pan works better for me. But springform may allow it to be prettier upon removal.) Bake 40-45 minutes in preheated 350 oven, or until it's set. Cool in pan, refrigerate overnight or several hours. Remove carefully. Serve with whipped cream or rasberry sauce, or garnish with berries or mint, or do any combination of the above!
Thanks
Congrats Merk, have a great day
This is the recipe I clipped from ch1212's bio... but I used 12 oz Ghiardelli 100% cacao, and it's 10 ox. bittersweet and 2 oz. semi-sweet chocolate... the pie is not sweet.
I am organising and cooking for my thirtyth dinner
well I know how I'll spend some time today....thanks.
Lady... if you treat yourself to this recipe, you will never go back to another chocolate dessert again... LOL, chiley... it is truly wonderful with some fresh whipped cream with a whisper of vanilla-sugar.
There goes the diet...just copied your recipe, scarlet
may do it for the thirthth
Now every lady here is as happy as I am....
HAHAHA.....refrigerate overnight....AS IF!!!
You must, chiley.... LOL...

*caterer
welcome tpz you can check the help just above the chat area
there are also some good help things in the menu below
welcome, tpz54! links below too.. Babble for dummies, etc..
Thx I tried but will again
Hi, tpz... look to the links below the Tile Stats and click on Lickety's Babble Clues.
basically, you find words in the grid.. letters must touch each other and the word has to be at least four letters long.. and you can't use a letter more than once in the word
Sounds like a fun party, Lady... let us know what you will create for the Beast Feast.
the same letter that is
We may have even scored a chocolate maker. We have a cake maker making our cake
I'm funny about cake... it has to be moist, has to be rich, and has to have real butter in it...
how very disappointing to bite into a bagel that i just bought and to find it stale.. yuck
tpz54 Click on the Help button above the chatlog for basic how to's and rules.
There will be an assortment of roast (cold) meat. hot veggies, quiche (vegan) chips dip the usual
Oh, yuck is right, Aloy!
ALoy toast the bagel
sounds wonderful, herin
i did, herin.. :-(
Our gang loves Wimpies on a bun, Lady...
noticed bits of growth, too.. double yuck..
but still not good that it was stale
going to return them to the grocery store today..
ewww, Return it stat
aloy, in the garbage pail with the bagel and tell the vendor when you see him next
herin is right, return them
Aloy ewww
lol... hope i haven't ruined anyone's appetite..
nope i am about to hit the bed
night, herin
have a good snooze, herin
Soon
Sleep well, Lady!
Im going to bed soon
You can't ruin MY appetite, Aloy... I eat like a trucker or a logger...
that
?
is good, Scarlet.. a zesty appetite for life.. (-:
pinky finger slipped, lol
we may get raspberry filled chocs as our lolly bags too
Always, Aloy... God granted me the metabolism of a humming bird and no diet woes...
lucky ducky, Scarlet!
have to run, be back later
Lucky, yes, and some darned good genetics from my Finnish forebears...
Later, AnnieBrooklyn! Sooo good to see you.
Good morning/afternoon all.
Hi Haz!
hi haz
Good day, Haz... welcome to the chocolate celebration!
Hello to all - are we still eating chocolate?
not now
Yes, and spreading the joy with recipe postings...
There can never be too many chocolate recipes.
amen to that
We know... :-). Thank you, Ata... I just found that ge8 & 9.
I was on earlier but made remarkably little progress with the grid. I'll have to be disciplined now.
(Cue hollow laughter from the rest)
nose to the gridstone, Haz!
Scarlet, can u share this 8 and 9?
Likewise, Haz... I only have 101... back to the grid.
Oh, you're further on than me, Scarlet. I'm a disgrace.
Hi, Mark, yes, ge4/6+ca5/12
ah ha
That's the nine... the eight is singular on the ca
Hardly, Haz... glad you found it, mark. No disgraces here!
Only pre-graces.... LOL
You say that now, Scarlet, but you haven't seen FMitch out on the town.
LOL, Haz
Hahahhaaaa... tis a condition devoutly to be wished....
too bad there's not another e up there, cuz then we could have sp5/14 +ge4/6....
LOL, mark.
Night
Good night, Lady.
night.. see you next time
Sleep well, herinfernal.
thanks
I'll go make some toast and juice... it's a peanut butter morning on oat bran toast!
Oh, Lady, thank you for your efforts for the posting, also.
ahh, better than stale bagels.. (-: sounds good, Scarlet
Thats ok
You poor thing... anticipating a good bagel and getting dreck!
I suppose it's like some brides. They think they've found Prince Charming and then....
oh well, the cottage cheese was fresh at least..
Although it works the other way as well. Some men think they have found their princess.
aha.. fireworks to send me off for my haircut.. (-:
Congratulations Aloy!
oh, btw.. to finish a report from yesterday... the house raided on my road had 211 marijuana plants in yet.. 2 men arrested.. bit of excitement in the hood yesterday..
Oh yes, you were about to go and check it out. Did you get interviewed?
Well done, Aloy... wow, a large operation!
For the paper, I mean. Not by the police.
i have the ge9, are there any more 9's
lol, Haz.. no, the electric people were there when we went by, disconnecting stuff I imagine.. the police and reporters had left.
There are two 9 letter words, but I don't have the other yet.
What a shame. Still, I'm glad you weren't swept up in the police fervour to solve the crime.
an $800,000 grow house.. wonder what will happen to it now, TV said it would be "gutted"
de9
A de8/9 combo, pabtrek... and I don't have it yet, though.
To lessen or maybe to smooth.
opposite of to make greater for the de8/9
thanks Haz, Jacula and Scarlet
Hello Jacula.
Why would it be gutted?
Hello, Haz.
well, the walls were lined with aluminum to reflect light for the plants.. otherwise, I don't know why
Why, Aloy? I know meth labs get gutted because fo the corruption of the walls and rooms, but marijuana farms...
puzzles me too, Scarlet..
*of*
No shortage of tinfoil at Christmas in that house. Supermarkets over here always seem to feel it's a possibility and you have to climb over piles of tinfoil to get anything else.
Hmmmm.... Well, you seem to be in a center of excitement, Aloy.
well, I'd like to stay and chat, but don't want to miss my hair appt.. see you wunnerful babblers next grid.. happy babbling!
'Bye new grandmama!!
See you again, Aloy. Will we recognise you?
lol.. you two make me smile.. blowing kisses.. poof

Bunnies and guinea pigs, TO. Yes.

Hello, deb.
Hello debjed. Glad you're feeling better.

Good morning, debjed. I am glad that you are not in so much pain today.
Pardon, flosey?
FIREWORKS!:-)
wtg Jacula!
Congratulations Jacula! To the hutches!
wtg jacula, you were looking for he4/5?
flosey - No. But thanks anyway. LOL
Slaverdriver, Haz!
I was just trying to make it sound positive and heroic.
Which it is, of course, just not pleasant, perhaps.
You succeeded, Haz. *girds loins in preparation for heroic task ahead*
*Trudges up garden path in direction of bunny shed* Byeeeee.
Indeed, girding the loins is good. Go forth and conquer!
need a clue for de6 please?
(More like go forth and shovel sh**):))
yay and bye--ee jacs!
And just be glad I'm not advising you to go forth and multiply. We'll leave that to the rabbits.
de6/24 - de plus an attribute that Jacula is showing by looking after her rabbits.
*spews water over keyboard* HAZEL!
hi all how many words today?
Speaking of which, I told Paul what you said yesterday, Haz. He'll be having words when he next sees you.
Sorry, sorry. I said I would be good.
I think most of us have completed the cycle of multiplying, Haz...it is now in the "Hands?" of our offspring...
Oh no, not Paul on the warpath. When will I learn to keep my mouth shut?
thanks Haz
well that's no fun is it?
Yes, Scarlet, and aren't we jolly glad?
Going now... really... byeeeeeeee.xx
Bye Jacula!
*Remembering the young days of no sleep and lost teeth*... It's so much better with the grands, Haz.
sorry anyone have the total word count pls?
171, swa
Most couples really only indulge in addition. But my husband and I actually did multiply x 2.
171 words. swa.
thanks has and scarlet
You're welcome, swa.
ce 8 please
ce8/45 - ce, rearrange the four letters of what twinkles in the sky, finish off with a vowel and a plural letter.
ty Haz
hello everyone :))
You're welcome. Vicuna, I had forgotten you're the mother of twins. Very efficient of you.
Hello mrpresident!
Good morning, mrp... How are you today?
Oh yes, we were all about getting that stuff over with as quickly as possible! (Like we planned it. Ha ha.)
LOL, Vicuna...
I can hear that hollow laughter, Vicuna.
yes indeed, it is morning!! saturday already!!
hi mrp
And speaking of the progeny, I am called upon to read them a story, so I guess I won't be finding any more words just now. Back later. Sigh. ;)
Until later, Vicuna.
See, now I'm confused. herinfernal has just gone off to bed. Is she extra late or are you extra early?
my it comes around quickly
See you later, Vicuna.
Does Lady have a vampire schedule?
it is 12.45am haz, saturday morning... I am having a very late night/morning
Vampires wouldn't be able to keep a cat, I don't think.
well the cat is very pale ...
Okay, so it's really the very early hours of the morning. Can you not sleep?
infern LIVES on babble... she spends her waking hours here
Hahhahaha...
Is all the blood sucked from it, do you think?
quite possibly!
We know MrP, I have the grey hairs to prove it. Oh and hello all.
Hello FMitch and Atalante - come to join the party?
hehehe! Hi fmitch! :))
LOL, FMitch... I use chemicals to "enhance" my look...
hello haz! and ata! and scarlet! soooooo good to see you all
S from the middle of the last row?
It's good to see you too, mrpresident.
Great to see you, mrp... you're chipper as always... such an inspiring soul...
We loves the pres.
Yay to that!
Ditto!
Sorry, sorry, I will be good. I WILL BE GOOD.
lol. makes a change
Was there an Aussie Vampire attack in your town recently, Haz...?
Fireworks - very academic video today - will have to really concentrate to get it
Not that I've heard of, Scarlet. PHone!
My brain prefers dogs on skate boards and such like
Zips mouth suddenly remembering that I spent the whole of this morning in the penalty box and here I am again chatting!
Well done, ursh... I don't want to concentrate today... the post-birthday shut-down is mandatory...
yay ursh :)
hey scarlet, know the deal... I am having pre-birthday daze
When is yours, mrp?
Hi all just popping in before going to bed
Hi, Tiny... nice to see you after so long!
Hi Tiny :))
Oh come on, FMitch, there's no fun in sitting on your hands. They just go numb.
Hello Tiny!
I have been on a bit lately Hullo Mr P
Since when has sitting on your hands stopped mouth, huh? Hi Tiny
Mr P my chat log is so slow lately
Tiny and FMitch are looking in the pink today. Lovely colours.
back again
thank you very much mine is a clue
need a clue for sa5 please?
oh is it clue night?
Ah, I had just been looking at the colour.
Mine's, er, just me :)
scarlet, it is next week sunday... I think
And very nice it is, FMitch.
Is it just me, or are there more birthdays this month among babblers than usual?
has anyone heard how Fran Mag is
The 30th, mrp? That's a nice date... I like threes... LOL
Funny I was thinking that last night. September is definitely a bumper month and we all know why don't we!
No, not yet, Tiny.
We are the children born of Christmas celebrators, Haz... LOL
No, why is that, FMitch? You have a theory?
New YEars Eve celebrations :)
hah mine is 18th of December
So, peace and togetherness?
Tiny! So is my daughter's birthday!
et voila!
And all shattered nine months later?
my brother was born 25th and I was born 30th september... we are xmas and newyear babies
In a word, yes, Haz... LOL
it is a good day
It is a perfect day, Tiny!
Ypsi ajr your around??
How many words today?
But going back to your original point HAz, it is interesting how many virgos there seem to be.
171, Jayde
well I am off to bed good night all and God Bless You All
I'm just wondering if it's representative of the general population. I should ask my midwife friend.
And God bless you, Tiny.
Good night, Tiny, sleep well.
Night night Tiny sleep well.
night
de 8 please

ty
thanks
gets smaller?? hahaha
You're welcome.
I am still trying to figure out what the wee scotsman has to do with it :D
de8 smaller
Haz is on a scottish bent today.
s she is fantasising about George Cluney parachuting in, wearing a kilt?
Think of the kilt and all those pleats. Just another name for what makes the pleat.
fair enough... I am on a facial hair de8 today
It must be my Scots blood rising to the surface. There was a funeral this morning at the local cemetery, A bagpiper and everything.
Awe and I thought you looked cute with a mustache!
That has always been standard in our family, Haz... the pipers playing "Amazing Grace"
Och Aye The Noo Haz :) Hello again all
:) Hi Liz
Yes, Amazing Grace was played, Highland Cathedral etc. I got the impression they weren't quite sure where the grave was, it was taking them so long to process solemnly towards it.
oh we all look cute with a mustache.... for our baboon cousins
any more Baileys wreaths?
No, this was quite dignified. Not a Bailey's wreath in sight.
not sure if thats a disappointment or not
What is a Bailey's wreath, Ata?
Waits to see if Ata or Haz responds to that one.
over to Haz ....
I must look into putting another babblebooks reading up.... anyone interested in sending a recording???
Scarlet, I told FMitch and Atalante about a funeral a while back. One of the traveller families was involved. It was all very.... tacky.... and one of the wreaths was done in the shape of a Baileys bottle. Label and all.
Brown and orange silk crysanthemums were employed. The florist showed some ingenuity, I suppose.
Unable to help there MrP
Ohmigosh... those Travellers certainly have a flair, don't they, Haz? Thank you for the insight... now I can die a fulfilled woman...
My brother in law had a wreath that was a pint of lager in bronze chysanths with white ones for the froth running down the side of the 'glass' and he wasnt even a traveller just someone who drank lager!!!
There was also a fish shaped wreath ( he was fond of fishing). Doves were released (or perhaps pigeons dyed white, who would know)
fond of fishing or drank baileys like one?
A previous traveller had been fond of ELvis. Cue guitar shaped wreaths. I kid you not.
I attended a funeral for a man who made a living as an Elvis Presley impersonator... the flower guitars, piano and cape were unlike anything I had ever seen before... or since.
I assume the horse-shoe shaped wreath confirmed his interest in horses. Or gambling. Or both.
Snap, Haz! LOL
See, I knew the travellers had to get their ideas from somewhere. The piano must have been inspirational.
Some of the more intricate wreaths are floral works of art. Afternoon Deeha
I know, but how DO they keep their face straight when people are making their requests?
soooo, babblebooks is of no interest?
Afternoon FMitch I always feel it is a bit like a vikings funeral - sending things off into the hereafter with the deceased!!
Sorry, mrpresident, we were sidetracked.
I assume that business is business and nothing is deemed too bizarre...
It would be a real challenge for the florist tho' wouldnt it?
I would love to go back in time to see my Viking ancestors and their customs, but I am here in the 21st century for a little while longer.
May there never be an occasion for anybody to order a Babble wreath with the grid outlined.
grrr stupid internet connection. so it was a permanent baileys wreath! does it get reused for each funeral?
LOL, Ata..
It has been removed, Atalante, so they'll have to start from scratch if it's ever needed again.
Phone BRB
can someone explain babblebooks?
mrpresident - there's your cue from Deeha.
A quick hello to all. My visiting sister and I will be going for a walk soon.
someone probably has it on a wall instead of flying ducks
hi scrab
Hello Scrabbler - who's winning Scrabble wars?
Hello, Scrabbler. Hello to sister.
Like the idea Atalante
Leslie is, 3-1. I will try to even things up today.
hi scrabs! back in a bit. hobbit is looking at me with big eyes. she obviously hasnt had any fuss for months
deeha, go visit http://babblebooks.podbean.com it is a babbler place to share books and contribute to the community I am asking if it is good enough to keep running at the moment :)
If she sees me Babbling she will yell at me.
hare d
Oh, gosh, Scrabbler... doesn't she understand, YET?
Resort to cheating if necessary, Scrabbler.
sorry MrP I haven't had time this week to check it out. Will do as soon as I can
nice sister
Wash your mouth out Mrs Haz!!
Here she is--she thinks I am checking e-mail.
ce8 please
back soon
Hi Scrabbler
Good morning, BR-r. Oops.... lady-fight...
OK, off I go. Bye all! ENjoy the day!
Sorry, sorry, I said I would be good. But really, if she beats her in scrabble and won't let her babble, what kind of a visitor is that?
Thank you, Scrabbler.
PHone...
it is 1.30am!! must be off for sleep time. see you later :)
Rest well, mrp.
Bye MrP
ce+****afarian+this is my b**t clue!
Sleep well, mrpresident.
Thanks, Dee, All Done!
well done bubba think that is the second tine I clued your last word - I'll have a large gin when I see you!!!
I do admire your seamless logic, Haz.
Dee, The pleasure would be all mine
Congratulations, bubba218!
Seamless is always best. No sewing.
seamless logic may leave one in stitches
Okay... I'll retreat to the depths of the grid... our punstermaniacs are out of the bos...
Well, must go and have an hour in the garden see you all later
*box*\
Until later, Deeha.
Don't forget to put your thermals on Deeha :)
Don't go, Scarlet! We need you to keep us under control.
ME?! Ha!
Anyone need any clues before I go?
Yes please: ea5/12
ea5,12 past tense of the things you hear with
the pages in the book are dog ea5/12
But of course! Thank you!!
sa5/12 please?
sa + consonant + egyptian sun god
thanks bubba
yw
Bye for now
Bye bubba.
Fireworks
Well done, flosey!
Congratulations flosey.
ty scarlet
and Haz
flosey's friday fireworks!!
was stuck on that sa for such a long time!
thought I had monkeyed every which way
It's all behind you now, flosey... LOL
hi haz & everyone
Hello, Zenmed.
Hello Zen - nice to see you!
what are the rules
now back to bed, am fighting a nasty cold
Are you still up in the library, haz ?
Hello, bluenoser. Check the links below the tile stats and go to Help above this chatline for some outlines.
Ok nevermind found them
The first rule is to enjoy finding words. You'll find the guidelines to the game above in 'Help' and also if you scroll down to Angelsong's Babble page.
yes lol thanks, I had just logged on & found under "help"
Oh, flosey... but not too sick to Babble! There's the spirit! Be well.
No, Zen, my computer is back home again so all is well with the world.
Welcome to Babbleland bluenoser
so do we all play automatically against each other?
thanks
not against bluenoser, with - it's a very friendly group
No, you find words at your own pace. There's no competition involved.
No, bluenoser. We play for the sheer satisfaction of accomplishing something so esoteric.
heh thanks
bluenoser - from Nova Scotia?
first ac4,5?
Past tense of the high playing card, deb.
Marvellous - are you also a Firefly fan, Haz, as Inge, Ata and I were discussing earlier ?
ac4/5 - a land measurement
My bad... it is a land measurement.
And hi, Scarlet
ty
I don't think I can be, Zen. I'm reading through the chat log at the minute so I'll see what you were discussing.
I'm sure you would know if you were - mmm, can't remember the time of that chat
Yes, I rather think I'm not. It's nothing to do with Firefox, sure it's not?
No, it is a TV sci-fi programme from a few years back that was increduously dropped from the screens
Well ,if it was sci-fi, then definitely not!
Sillly ps4/5 word...
Ah, you don't know what you are missing, Haz
But I do, that's the point. I'm happy to miss it.
I'm an object of pity in the babble world because of my determined dislike of all things fantasy.
Zen, no point in wasting your time. Many have come before and talked of sci if to Haz.
Not at all, Haz. That's why there are choices...
Wee goblins and people with funny names just don't do it for me.
You'll not get George Clooney stooping to be a hobgoblin.
Well the leprachauns were doing fine with you this morning if I recall.
Where's that logic I so admired, Haz... Mr. Clooney may do anything that Hollywood pays him enough money to do... and then, you might become a fan at last!
They're okay. They're useful.
LOL Scarlet, nice one.
:-)
Haz, don't you mean "all things fantastic"? But seriously, I share your dislike of whimsy--except for Lord Peter of course.
The day George appears in a hobgoblin suit is the day I...... Well, he won't do it, so I needn't worry.
Goblins and elves do zilch for me too, except making me want to stamp on them, but Firefly is very intelligent stuff...
LOL....
Sharp intake of breath "whimsy"!!
As for George Clooney--I profess to know nothing
He is, as Haz describes attractive men, "decorative"
Yes, hetty, maybe I mean fantastic. And if you don't know George Clooney, google him and prepare to sit down.
Why the sharp intake, Fmitch?
I shall google him when I've finished the grid. Not when I'm on a roll.
You'll be off that roll when you "meet" Mr. Clooney, hetty.
Oh no reason .. Oh OK my faterh got me hooked on Azimov and Star Trek and one thing leads to another.
Exactly, Scarlet.
*Father
I thought I was the Number One Azimov fan here, FM!!
You mean I'm not going to want a roll in the hay?
Woot!
You like the grey-haired type, haz ?????
And who the hanover is Azimov?
I can see I have a lot of googling to do
A brilllian scientist who couched a number of his theoretical, futuristic ideas in fictional form, hetty.
Only one of the finest sci fi writers, Way ahead of his time.
*brilliant*
Ah much more eruditely put Scarlet.
:-)
Sorry, back from rescuing clothes from the line.
oh,you mean isaac. I was in a play by him once.
Which one, hetty?
Okay, I hold my hands up in surrender. I fully support people's choice to read and enjoy science fiction. I choose not to.
Can't remember a thing about it, except his name.
Ah, I was just surmising that you must like the grey-haired type, Haz...
I think it was called "The 75th" and was certainly nothing to do with sci-fi
Trying to dregd up more--it was decades ago
good morning/afternoon everyone :)
Haz did you see the recipe for chocolate heaven earlier - can you make it and take a photo so I can stick a pic on my notice board and not put on weight?
Haz, all I can say in defense of, and without attempting to put anything on your human will, is that Science Fiction, as a genre, is theh ability to dream great things for our future... or be nihilistic, if you will.
Grey-haired men can be very attractive - PROVIDED they don't use combover methods on what remains of their locks.
Hi all
chocolate heaven?
Arrrrgggghhhh... combovers! Better bald! Hi, peri.
I am with Haz re sci fi and fantasy
I agree Scarlet re comb overs
I haven't come to chocolate heaven in the log yet, Fmtich. I'm still reading about herinfernal's continuing struggle with the universe. How is it that she is so surrounded by idiots?
Grey haired men can turn my knees all trembly
So sad, Haz.
Hi all - only here for an hour at most - anyone got a clue for the ar5/12 plz?
That's jolly reassuring then Haz and FM as most of what i have left is well grey
FMitch, is it the one I posted? I can re-post it if you wish.
For pity's sake don't resort to the Grecian 2000 either, Zen.
Don't you dare Scarlet, I will put on another 5lbs if I read it again!
Scarlet would you e-mail chocolate heaven to me then?
Well helloooo Zen *grin*
I am in possession of a powerpoint presentation that proves the wonderment of chocolate, I should pass it on.....
LOL... it's redemptive to go against the known universe, FM!! Of course, peri!
clues anyone for that PS word ?
He's married, FM. The good ones always are.
Haz's icon is the very best!
to whisper all consenants
and I already have my own grey haired GoL
Good afternoon all..........
hey what happened to Spangle, Haz?
montreal - ps,4 - as used in books to indicate that someone wants your attention.
Don't worry Haz, there's not enough there to take any Grecian!
ps, getting someone's attention, snakelike
ps, opening word when whispering in a theater
Spangle is fine, peri. I just found this card for Scarlet yesterday to feed her chocolate fever.
ar5/12 anyone plz?
thank you all ! - didn't realise it was a word...
still looking Sandie
ok Haz, good to know. Love your icon, but happening trouble reading the small print
So, you don't look like Donald Trump, then, Zen?
dont have that one sandie
ps, vowels, we don't need any stinking vowels
*having* trouble even :-)
ar5/12 - begins and ends with the same vowel, structured the same as the sports stadium but exchange one consonant for a higher scoring one.
Must go see my neighbor's new Subaru.... See you all later, Babblers. And here:
Has the absence of thick flowing locks put you off then, FM ?
ar5/12 = use the ar4/4 and insert cons before last letter
thanks Haz
Peri - I'll get my glasses on and transcribe it for you.
Chocolate Truffle Pie 1 c sugar 10 oz semisweet or bittersweet choc (I use chips, or you can break up chunks) 2 (1 oz) squares unsweetened choc 2 sticks (8 oz) unsalted butter 5 eggs Combine 3/4 c sugar and 1/3 cup water and boil in microwave. Stir in semisweet and unsweetened choc's and butter until melted. Beat eggs and remaining 1/4 c sugar on high speed until almost double in volume. Stir egg mix into choc mix until well blended. Turn into greased and parchment-lined springform pan or, as I prefer, a round silicone pan. Set pan in larger baking pan so that you can add enough water to the outer pan to reach 1 inch up the side of the inner pan. (If you use a springform and it doesn't have a tight seal, it will leak and the corners of your pie will be a little mushy, hence the silicone pan works better for me. But springform may allow it to be prettier upon removal.) Bake 40-45 minutes in preheated 350 oven, or until it's set. Cool in pan, refrigerate overnight or several hours. Remove carefully. Serve with whipped cream or rasberry sauce, or garnish with berries or mint, or do any combination of the above!
:-)
Tee-hee, FMitch... 50 pounds notwithstanding... I'll mail it to you, peri!
tx haz for the ar 5/12 !
No Zen not at all, Haz just won't let me flirt. My love has very little on top and it is all grey Northing wrong with that at all.

Nothing at all FM, - the less hair, the more testosterone!
Caitlyn Helloo, was overcome with chocolate.
Cait, I love you
A fragment of a dream. And in my chocolate kingdom they brought me great mountains of chocolate and thereof did I eat. And it did not make me feel ill or ashamed, neither did it put weight on my thighs. For the chocolate was health-giving and nourishing, and the more I ate, the more beautiful I became.
HI, caitlyn... no stomping. *hugs*
Hi cait -- I'm invisible today too
Caitlyin --howdy!!!!!
We were all dreaming of chocolate heaven, cait

Is that what the ge8 and 9 mean to you, lillian!?! I would have said they were boxes that cogs go in!
lol
peri, a topical one from his cards reads "Live your dreams, except the one where you get eaten by the giant spider"!
I will have to look for his greeting cards Haz
He supplied the Cat of Glory card that amused so many of us.
he is very clever Haz
don't remember the Cat of Glory Haz, do you still have it arouind somewhere

All hail the CoG "and there shall come amongst them a Cat of such Great Glory that all who see it will be sore amazed and marvel at its spendour.
Haz I think it might be time for our medication, the blue and yellow ones I believe?
Yes, I've had enough of the pink and white ones. They've done nothing for me all day.
Haz, that's cause the pink and white ones are just Valentines candies.
off to other pursuits -- nothing exciting, unless you get a thrill out of washing the kitchen floor -- back at the flip :)
You weren't supposed to swallow them, I don't know!
Bye, cybernan.

I love baseball and football, as you can tell from my bio... basketball I watch but haven't developed the passion!
scarlet - an american *swear* word (I think but change the first letter for a c - d*** it - similar to damn!
Oh, for heaven's sake, bubba. Thank you...*head hanging in shame*/ Thank you, Denny!
yw scarlet - i've had plenty of fish moments today and the most embarrassing one was he4!!!
LOL, Denny... I think we've all be shamed by our Babble-blindness at times... LOL
I think there should be a special blushing fish smiley button for the chat that we can use for those special moments!!
our 2005 basketball season was awesome - with Dee Brown, Deron Williams, Luther Head, James Augustine. We made it all the way to the championship game in the NCAA finals. (if anyone really cares) But we had fun!!
And I have all these scars from using frozen haddock? Now you tell me your brill idea, Denny! LOL
I care, deb... and I love the stories about the little schools that do the impossible. I live about 35 minutes from Boone, NC, and when Ap State beat Michigan in the big house, the state went entirely nutzo!
I had to make do with fish fingers!! Bloomin' breadcrumbs get everywhere!!
LOL... 'bye Denny... have a spectacular day!
After cleaning up all your breadcrumbs of course! :-)
ok really going now. enjoy your sports, red!
Well if no-one requires anymore clues, i'd better get ready for the tidal waves that are my kiddies bathtime!!
I will... always, deb. Thanks for the chat!
I'm good after having been knocked over the brain by bubba telling me a simple word... celebrate your day Denny and deb!
afternoon babblers!
Hi, EvaN!

i have menieres disease(fluid build up in inner ear)i had treatment which did'nt work because i got it in both es
but these ladies would love to be able to go and have a good time
sorry,both ears.
Oh - that dies nasty things with your balance doesn't it Lilliann.

i fly,,but i take pills before i get on the plane,,,i sleep the whole time
i get dizzy flying,but who cares atleast i'm on hols with my family and there are worse people of than me.i have a dissability,i,m not dying.lol
The first flight my husband took was the worst flight I everbeen on! I guess he started badly and it has only got better since.

hey every1, hows u all?
Oh my son is planning to marry a girl from California. She came this summer - don't think she liked England too much.
where did your ex son in law live nana/
why do these kids do that,,move from their country
Fireworks is what you get when you complete the grid.
he was from hull
my daughter did her student teaching out there
I wish my son wasn't planning to move to the US - is too far away for me.
and met him on a rebound,,,he was very nice, a lot of fun,,and a hard worker
i hear you sand
it terrible
hi craggus,have you got a glass of wine tonight?
for what sand??
it was difficult for his family to visit during the holidays
because the weather here is cold at xmas
For me to see him on a regular basis - will miss him a lot.
but california is nice all year
i sure have lillian, just had one in the bath but may save the rest for tomorro :op
i felt bad for his parents
thank god they never had children
married 7 years
we're going on the night from hull in december to see my mam and dad in france for xmas.
those poor people would never see their grand children
Yes - that's how I feel - what if my son has children and I rarely get to seethem.
oh lil that sounds nice
your parents live in france
don't save it for tomorrow crag,its friday,drink it and enjoy!!
Now France is my favourite country in the whole world.
my daughter has remarried and had a rough time getting pregnant,,,invetro never worked,,when she vacationed in france,,the miracle happened,,she is 3 now
lol
aye my mam and dad live in the vendee.
I just think the French are so very civilized! And they make the best wine as well.
they cut a label from one of her outfits that said MADE IN FRANCE and hung it on her door,,lol
We used to take the kids to Eurocamp there when they were little.
i'm glad your daughter had a happy ending nana.
my son in law is french,,,and a gourmet cook,,,not good for the waist line,
yes we are happy,,,i sometimes miss her ex, but time makes things pass
They didn't call your grandaughter Paris by any chance did they? LOL.
no thank God
she is fresh enough,,,lol
my mam and dad use to take my brother and i to france every year.brittany,normandy and the south.

what a marvellous video, since I myself tend to see numbers in color. But that guy is much more advanced.
{{{{inge}}}} Tag!
hey stid!
hi feather -- you didn't get a "simplicity" crib for per-nick did you?
noooo, why?
Just passing through, since I did not have time to watch the video this morning when I finished. Came back to see that amazing video. I understand a bit of what that Daniel is experiencing.
there's a recall on them. just wanted to be sure "our" baby was safe!
Hi feather and stid. Have to fix dinner now. buy
later inge!
whew, pros. all those grey heads were giving me a headache
hi hurshy!
my daniel? or a daniel on the video?
hi
I am guessing on the video feather, haven't got there yet, of course!
maybe the video has someone daniel's age in it
we're waiting for the pizza delivery guy...aka doug
I was considering pizza tonight, but we are going to eat out at least once tomorrow, so it's leftovers instead.
i have five to go 1-4-1
i mean 1-3-1
sheesh
i'm doing about 6 things at once, finding words, doing chat, IMing a friend, talking with daniel about what he's doing with his trains
ack!
1-2-1
wow feather... drop us and come back later.... LOL what IS daniel doing with his trains?
the bulldozer is pulling the trains up the bridge
hm. sounds like heavy work...
clue for ce 8/45?
pretty "normal" right now...well other than the green beans that were on the track a minute ago
my crib is storkcraft, btw
sorry craggus, don't have that one...
c + periods of history + ***s, julia roberts' character from ocean's 11
it's the grid that's ending up being dropped really, slow going
:-D the grid isn't overly easy today I think
poop, i don't know that name
thanks hurshy
I haven't watched any Ocean movies yet
exam + ***t
well i jinxed myself saying "poop" cause that's what nick just did! brb
LOL, see you soon feather!
the ocean movies are so fab, you gotta watch em
got it! thanks hurshy!
ohh, i was missing the plural in the middle of htat word. ty babrab, i had guessed that, but without that middle letter it didn't work!
I want to... but just haven't found the time. They're on our netflix wishlist.
thanks also BR!
two more words, two more words
what is the point total today please?
well, I just got past halfway with that one, but lack an E from the bottom right. are they fishy, or???
i was waiting a second to make sure nick didn't do any more, (as he likes to do to me as i'm fastening up the new diaper) and daniel says "he kicked his blanket off...he's cold" and put the blanket on him again. 1-2-3, "awwwwww!"
hey all... happy friday
nevermind, found one! to the list!
Hello, stid .. haven't watched a movie since 1997. No television since 1998 2304
happy Friday to you also Dorens! huzzah! another week under our belts!
wow BR --- good for you!
ok so that means i need 27 points
so the four is odd
but you're online, so obviously not boycotting all technology?
heigh-ho, to the list I go!
bbl
later feather
were you in school this week stid, getting those cute little first graders in lne?
that is a lot for a four and a five. does anyone have either a C word with an x in it or a P word with an X in it?
ca5.22 Hursh
ca 5,22
oh boy was I Dorens! and hauling one malingerer out of the bathroom when he went (for the third time before first recess) and took too long !
not I, but then again i only am halfway hurshy
yes Hursh, ca 5/22 has an x
little bugger was having a conversation with another kid in there!
thank!
social life is very importnat stid. thanks br
ooh. got that CA -- thanks!
off to cook. *poof*
do you have that all consonant p 4?
apparently more important than getting the instructions for the work... why is it always the slow learners who do this? (rhetorical question, no answer expected)
ah, and i finish with the onomatopoeic word.
YAY hurshy!!!!
(i meant to be tongue in cheek with that Stid, even if I am a guidance counselor.
Yay hurshy!
what a lag - i got it before you posted, but you guessed right brabble.
I know Dorens, just feeling frustrated... one wouldn't have thought first graders would already hate school so much... *sigh*
well stid, maybe they have older siblings who have programmed them badly
or maybe they just get mad at having to get up early.
that could be... kids are complicated creatures!
it does get tougher every year.... more and more who just don't seem to have the right attitude. ( and more with parents who have programmed them badly. there must be a mathematical model to explain exponentially how it progresses)
or maybe they feel stupid and frustrated with school.
Sun is shining .. windy and cold but the sun is such a day-brightener
the sun was shining on the sea, shining with all his might he did his very best to make the billows smooth and bright and this was odd because it was the middle of the night
true br, sun does make a big difference
it is sunny at the moment here too, BR. Not a bad day, overall. Need to vacuum the heat ducts this weekend though... can't hold out much longer without the furnace
the moon was shining sulkily because she thought the sun had got no right to be in the sky after the day was done "it isn't fair of him," she said, "to come and spoil the fun."
oops i misremembered a bit of that stanza, now that i look it up.
little stinker did it to me anyway! didn't even get him off the changing table
rofl feather.... *imagination runs wild*
well at least you don't have to lift him back on then
pooped in the sparkling fresh diaper
what is the name of it, hurshy?
wasn't on him more than 5 seconds
the walrus and the carpenter
but they don't come into it until the fourth stanza
the third is the funniest i think
pizza's here! bbl again
I got all the EX words by myself!
later feather...
the sea was wet as wet could be, the sands were dry as dry you could not see a cloud because no clouds were in the sky no birds were flying overhead there were no birds to fly
Hi all....clues please for the cr6/21..7/32 combo??
how many are there stid? (still listless)
flask: make a line in fabricwith a fold, and plural
there are four EX words
cr + e4/4 flask
thanx stid
ah, that's the ex*** number i have, stid!
yw :-)
i was able to do the whole grid listless with not much trouble, so you can do it too dorens!
of course the most famous stanza is
grrr hush
hursh too
AHA! a word with no vowels... (I hate those)
oh don't start hurshy!!! i have 74 left and can't imagine where they are.. and I want to read tonight after the treadmill.. can't spend all night here (tho i do enjoy it)
ok...that me done......goodnight to you all!!
hooray for flask.. and goodnight
Dorens, are you walking and babbling at the same time? *goggly eyes*
YAY flask!!! sweet dreams
that would b something stid... no, need to treadmill after babble (and get dinner in somewhere as well).
"the time has come," the walrus said, "to talk of many things of shoes and ships and sealing wax of cabbages and kings and why the sea is boiling hot and whether pigs have wings"
oh, I see! I wonder if I could hook a treadmill to a generator and get exercise and words in at the same time? i used to read while doing the ellipticals...
reading and babbling do require different muscles, stid. wow. if I could babble and exercise at the same time, i sure would exercise more
that's how I am too dorens, not much of one to listen to stuff, I can't learn a thing that way. But put a book in front of me and I am like a donkey with a carrot!
well, down to 21, and half an hour before kids begin to come home. Going to take a little napperoo. back later to finish.
i'll probably still be here, stid, if i don't go to the list (63 now)
gee, talk about lag
oh my post got lost
i said dorens, really, you can do it, the whole grid took me an hour and a half, tops
hurshy, that would translate to three hours for me!
and thou objecteth to spending three hours babbling?
oh hurshy, i would happily babble for fie hours ( and have done so), but I have a bunch of stuff that needs to get done thee days... being back to school cuts down on my time. and I must accomplish a couple of goals beyond the grid
what is three hours but an eighth of a day? and what is an eighth? an eighth of a cup is two tablespoons. are you saying it's not worth two spoonfuls of sugar to make the listless medicine go down?
i just goof around dorens, don't mind me :)
i will complete the grid, but can't really afford more than two hours. (56)
how much time have you spent so far?
but you know, i do like the challenge.
hm... been outside from time to time with a few garden chores, been home about an hour I guess
i am trying listless too, dorens, maybe we can help each other out :(
i still think you can do it :) :) :)
whoops meant to be happy :)
AND you have the hurshmeister to play GWDIM and GWLAIM
thanks lesleyann and hurshy... good cheerleaders here. I really do love this place
hmmmm a new challenge? GWDIM?
yes! you're looking very psych-ic today, hursh
well, you can't play that one dorens.
you can play all the other ones though.
ty leslie :)
now i'm confused. not that it takes much to confuse me thesse days
ok the original game was GWHIM (Guess What Hurshy Is Missing)
and you can figure it out from there.
ooooooh, i have played that game
tis a good game, i think
and i excel at GW_IM
must admit the first few times I played,, I wondered why you did that. but now I know (all to well)
for example, i'm missing one e from the 2nd one in the bottom row... have what houdini does
past tense
i have both them la, but not sure which the other was
no sorry
dizzy here
ah yes, and i won't try anymore
snails, *****got
aha thanks hursh
people did not understand about GWHIM. see i LOVE to play for other people, and i didn't mean for anybody to play if they did not love it too.
i understood, i thought it was a fun game.
and then some people would play who were, well, let's face it, NOT very good, and it would just clog up the chat
i think a lot of us do like to clue, and that just adds another dimension to cluing
it helped that you were always very gracious about thanking us
not that i don't clog up the chat all the time anyway
i gived you a thousand points per word! lol
my only problem is figuring out which spot a word originated from... still not very good at that.. but i'm not bad at guessing the missing words
and you have read my guide to boxes, dorens?
yes, and i do understand it in theory, but it doesn't come easily to me
perhaps my guide needs improving
perhaps my BRAIN needs improving, hehe
how many to go now, D and LA?
too many 50
22
ge 9/72?
(panting)
compound word - ge** on a car + suit*** or a law ****
ge9 pl of ge8
thanks (47)
thanks :o)
and the other 9 (i'm shameless)?
i'm missing one g in the fourth row... have the two that sound like the birds related to ducksa
(feel like those people who get on and immediately ask for clues for the biggies)
or even ducks
hi all 2 left sa5/12 and sa6/24 any clues please
to go down, like in price, dorens
it's a de
ty leslie ann... now, i only have one birds related to ducks. whats the other
the plural
there is one related to another pair, that ends in a vowel
that's the one i have ( i think) maybe i'm gonfused
(sorry, i ran off to sudoku
got it, thanks hursh
i didn't finish yesterday's hurshy... seemed to hard when i got to it late last nite, and will probly never get there tonite
how bout the m up top? i have the me 4/4
4/5 that is
ends in vowel???? i must be all wrong. *you don't mean the anagram of receives, do you?*
me 4/6
the root is ge + abbr. for a road. then add the second vowel for another word. the root also has a plural
ah was missing the last one. thanks
dorens, did you get all the g's now?
another of my posts got lost. my connection is being very naughty.
nah, i'm hopeless
i think with the birds you were thinking of ge4
but LA was referring to a 5/6 combo that rhymes with rare who roast b****
i have the g's related to car part.. (a 4, 8 and 9)... plural the letter... like bacterium, and those three leslieann refered to -----huh?
ah, roast b**** is a f**** i can't stand in the l****!
from the grinch...
ge + a cheer, dorens
how many words today?
171, elemce
now LA is not referring to the same ones i clued, so do not get confused.
ty for that one LA.. i now have all g's from second column.. missing two from first column
they rhyme with not west
got it, thanks hursh
but really, you need to watch the grinch again if you don't remember those lines.
fiinally understood the f*** l*** bit
haven't seen the grinch in decades
that is a major problem
it is still on my tivo from last christmas
only one of many, hursh. sad to say
christmas isn't christmas without a grinch watching and a white christmas watching and an it's a wonderful life watching and a christmas carol reading
but at least i'm down to 37--- need to take a break and change laundry.
ok, white christmas is negotiable if you're busy
iiiiiiiiiiiii'm dreaming of some cuuuuuuuuuuuute kittens
just like the ones i have right heeeeeeeeeere
where the big eyes glisten, and big ears listen, to heeeeeeeeear mouses in the wall
FIREWORKS !!! goodnight all.
*twiddles thumbs while waiting to play GWLAIM*
hi everyone
hi mom, it's a little quiet at the moment
It is very quiet. So unusual
Have all the Brits gone to bed?
i must have scared everyone away
How are you doing Hurshy?
Hi Haz
haz, you give the answer by asking the question
Good evening all.
you certainly scared me! (29)
i am ok at the moment mom
hi haz and mom
Is that a good thing, hurshy? Efficient?
:), you have been in my thoughts.
yes, efficient, but put me in a quandary
thank you mom
A quandary? Is that a questionable spelling or a US thing?
why, how do you spell it?
**heating up the tea pot and coffee** **sets out plates for banana nut bread**
Seeking confirmation from the dictionary.
how very mom-ish
Help! I'm wrong, you're right. I should go to bed as well.
:), it is one of my down falls. lol
no haz, we don't want you to go
But I can't even spell and I'm telling others how to. Wrongly.
but i didn't fall for it, you see.
Please stay Haz
Well challenged!
for what it's worth, i thought it was quandry at first too, haz
pronunciation can be so misleading.
It looks right..
Haz, I have just nipped in to finish off the grid, and what do I find ?!!!!!!
Tell me?
i think he finds haz
Are you letting the Ballymena standards slip ?
Isn't it awful?
You mustn't be right at this time of night...
I'll blame the time - you back me up, Zen.
So, have you finished the grid, Zen?
Yes, it is after midnight and therefore it is tomorrow, so I will let you off and not tell FMitch
after midnight... we gonna let it all hang out
Thank goodness. She goes to bed early so if you keep quiet about it, she may never know.
hang down
Ha thats what you think!!
Yes, I had just popped back to finish with the As
Just shutting things down now actually :)
Caught you!
oh-oh, haz is for it now!
Good grief. Can I get nothing right tonight?
thanks jean, my disco is weak.
:-)
Well, at least I wasn't saying anything about you, Fmtich. You're up later than usual?
Oh dear, FMitch was here all along...
LOL dear Haz I am half asleep and will leave you in pe5/14. Took me ages to wind down. Hi Zen
I try to stave off the alzheimer's by playing musical games in my head
mitch. My fingers won't cooperate.
Fmtich must be FM's sister?
good night FMitch
ITs the shock of seeing me at this time of night. Night all and see you soon *yawn*
You could stay and play and we could get you all wakened up again.
Hi FM, have sweet dreams tonight of 6 foot 1 men......
'Night, FMitch. I only popped in to add a video link to my bio.
Steady on, Zen.
no fmitch, she forgot how quandary is spelt BEFORE she saw you
Good night FMitch - sleep well.
lol Zen you naughty thing. *poof*
Oh well, I'll be off too then and dream of tall women and then petite ones - goodnight all
And again I say, steady on Zen.
good night Zenmed
Goodnight Zen - sleep well!
Goodnight, Zen.
It must be the time of night Haz
And goodnight everyone....
It must be. I've just realised that I have sunglasses perched on top of my head. Who put them thee?
lol Haz ... and how long have they been there?
there. I'm losing my mind.
I don't know, Mom, that's the scary thing. Did I go out with them on?
It wouldn't be a problem if it was nice weather, but I would have looked silly today.
mmmm, probably. You would think someone would have told you
a new fashion statement
I'm used to pitying looks and sniggers so it wouldn't have been anything unusual.
lol Haz
You'd think the dog would have indicated something.
the dog probably thought you looked cute that way
It's been raining for most of the day here - no need for sunglasses.
if you would like to get rid of the rain, we sure could use it.
Haz - if Spangle was grinning at you...
It hasn't been raining, but it hasn't been bright either. I reckon I've just picked them up and put them on this evening. That'll be it.
Mom - I believe it's set to rain all weekend. I'd love to send you some... if I could.
we would love it. We have only mowed twice the entire summer
We could mow twice a week here if it would stop raining.
Haz - perhaps you meant to put them away and just put them on your head as you finished some other task, and then forgot? (It's her age, you know!):D
:)
Anything's possible, Jacula. I can't blame FM for this one.
Hi, all
Nope. Did you finish the grid, btw. Haz?
Hello pam.
Hello, pam. We were just discussing whether Haz is losing her marbles.
Hi Pam :)
Yes, I finished this afternoon and am just hanging around being a nuisance.
hello pam-i-am
never a nuisance, Haz
Haz - I meant to ask you, did you watch 'The Dinner Party' on TV the other night? It was hailed as the modern version of 'Abigail's Party'. If so, whay do you think of it?
hi again. back to get my last 21...
*what not whay.LOL
unless maybe we slip and fall on the marbles...
Hi Stid :)
LOL, hursh.
You're very kind, Mom. Jacula, I didn't watch it. What did you think of it?
AR 5/12 please? the one after "places" 5/10
I found it uncomfortable viewing, Haz. I don't think it bore any resemblance to the excellent 'Abigail's Party' other than that Alison Steadman was in it.
a + again + the golden state
Hi, Jac and Hursh
Hello, stid.
thanks hurshy. dumb old babblet
hi pam and jac
is the DE 8 compound?
Not really, stid.
Maybe they used the 'Abligail's party' tag line to persuade people to watch.
no
no Stid
it's a normal word
Haz - I think that's the case.
okay, is the DE 8 animal, veggie or mineral?
Oops! ca4/5
umm... verb
None of those, stid.
got it, thanks hurshy!
moving right along.... GE 8... animal veggie mineral? or part of speech...
verbgetable
um that was just from before not about ge8
ge8 IS compound
LOL okay *thinking*
and i spose it would be mineral
got it! you are cluing great today hursh!
i'm not even cluing, lol
i think you are just smart
Well, my hair's finally dry and the last load of washing is ready to come out of the machine so I think it's time me and my book went to bed. See you all next grid. xx
sweet dreams, d4 Jacula!
Good night Jacula, pleasant dreams.
ciao, jacula
hope it's a good book!
ge 5/16 please? I have all the other G words...
but just because it bought you dinner doesn't mean you have to put out
fireworks!
Good night Jacula. I should go as well. I'll take the sunglasses off before I go, it'll be dark enough when the light's out.
ge + what cheerleaders say
pam - it's listed on Goodreads. 'Fifty is not a Four Letter Word' by Linda Kelsey, former editor of Cosmo mag.
YAY ypsi! (and hi -- haven't seen you in a while)
Congrats, ypsi
ge + go team
'Night, all. Yes, Haz, take them off. We don't want you tripping over.
ge + football cheer
thanks ypsi! :-)
I am still behind on goodreads!
hi everyone... I'm here pretty much every day lurking..
Night, haz and jac
down to 7... wow it goes fast when the clues are this great! (hi knight)
Will do - good night all!
congrats Ypsigirl
good night Haz
sweet dreams Haz
pleasant dreams
Hi Knight time
Ok off now to have apple pie and watch the Tigers lose with the kids
okay, down to four. All dreaded RE words

I ended with the re's too!
the re's in the puzzle are good
TWO.... *zip zip*
bye bye Ypsigirl
all normal words
Good night all!!!!!!1
FINITO!!! fireworks....
well Stid, you are turning the words out tonight
I am liking normal...
wtg stid
it's easier to do Mom, after a nice nap!
probably so. I tried to nap today and everytime I was just about asleep the phone rang
Congrats Stid!
dumb old fone!
really
interesting video...
I have seen something like this before -- a whle ago
there 130 done 41 left and that is it for me tonight. Have to get ready for classes tomorrow. Quilting in the morning and crocheting in the afternoon
well done Mom! I hope you have fun with the classes ... they sound nice.
I do have a good time. I am learning lots of things
well done mom! quilting and crocheting, sounds like a lot of work
our library sponsors it and best of all is that it is free.
except for your materials
hi everyone.
that's wonderful. it would be fun to do something like that someday.
Hi LBD, not really. It tends to be relaxing.
hi LBD! how are you?
my sister goes to classes like those, but i think the craft shops put them on.
how's hubby-dawg today?
hi stid, i'm fine, got a sick hubby tho. :-(
there are several places around here that teaches knitting but not quilting
did you know I caught his cold? was miserable yesterday... better today. *grin*
oh LBD, so sorry hubby is not feeling good
I'll be sure to tell him he's sharing his germs cyberly. lol
oh -- and stidkid#2 broke a wrist bone yesterday. Same arm as 7 months ago... LOL poor kid will be in a cast at least through hallowe'en
there is banana bread on the counter with coffee and tea. Last one out, please turn off the lights. Hugs to all of you
i think he relapsed yesterday, but too stubborn to stay home and really get well.
oh Stid, that is terrible
men can be so exasperating!
Night Mom, have fun tomorrow
mmm. thanks Mom *stuffing face*
see you next time!
Sorry, stid...
thanks LBD, pleasant dreams
Jeez Stid. I think you need to wrap him up in bubblewrap. how'd he break it?
bye Stid, pleasant dreams
and sorry about your husband, lbd
yes, he is not too happy. but it's kinda funny -- he climbs 40 ft trees and breaks it stepping/jumping over a low rope fence
he's out cold in his recliner. i'll go throw a blanket on him in a few minutes
*shrug* I think there may not be enough bubble wrap...
part of it is just he is growing SO FAST that his brain forgets how far down his legs go!
Cadfan's boy broke his arm again too. do you think the two boys are wearing out the same guardian angel?
oh poor cadfan... and poor little guy... I suspect that angel is working overtime...
imagine what we might have to deal with if she weren't standing guard!
I think you and cadfan need to call in some reinforcements for those angels. those boys are gonna wear them out! Cadfan's boy is in high school
yes, teens are somewhat klutzy....
I am looking forward to having both of mine reach adulthood and becoming responsible for their own health.
was just thinking back on my son...yup, shoulda bought stock in bandaids, duct tape and neosporin
*grin* yep. I know that feeling
and now he's a daddy... how is the grandkid doing these days LBD?
but it is nice to know that they do grow out of most of that klutzi-ness
grandkid is jabbering and taking over the world! lol
good to hear it! :-)
okay, little dog is frantically scratching her ears. Time for a cleaning, I think.
talked to his daddy last week, with the report that the mommy person got to go out and have an adult drink and conversations for a couple hours
Not all of them grow out of it Dawg...my brother and sister are still klutzes...;-)
have a lovely evening everyone!
Dan, i did say MOST of the klutziness. lol
(good for the mommy person... glad she did that) *poof*
night Stiddy
I never outgrew my clumsiness, I fall, trip, bang into things...
I, on the other hand, am typical of a world class athelete...except for the world-class and athelete parts.
i can be quite the klutz too Pam.
LOLOL, dan
lol dan
hi can any1 slowly clue me thru the ge9? Thnx

Guten Abend Babblers! I just lost a game of Scrabble to my visiting sister. I was ahead the entire game and then she won on her last turn. AAAAHHHH.
gives you a reason to live for tomorrow scrabs!
Hi Scrabbler!
I know how *that* feels Scrabbler
revenge, revenge.. you'll beat her tomorrow
We still have to finish a game of SuperScrabble. We started last night and that board is on the table. We just now played regular SCrabble with the travel set in front of the TV so she could watch "her" Yankees.
How has everyone been this week?
sounds like you're having a good visit..
Is your sister addicted to Scrabble and picks on you for babbling?
yay, dorens!
de 6/24?
thanks pam. (i take it you are not doing the holiday thing, pam?)
We have been laughing SO much, playing Scrabble, hiking in the woods, and she bought a kayak and we paddled yesterday.
of course, babbling does not give her a turn unless you have two computers
I used to be addicted to Scrabble and played on line all the time. Guess what, Babble has overtaken it
de+ ca4.5
bichon, de + ca4
ty
Scrabs, are you on vacation again?
My sister likes word games but doesn't like sitting in front of the computer, as she does it at work.
Yep, dawger. An annual trip to New England fell through for a bunch of us, so I decided to take the week off anyway and stay at home. It has been nice to do that.
I was addicted to scrabble during my first pregnancy. I drove all our friends crazy looking for partners
good for you! i'm sorry the New England trip fell through tho
Hi
I have a message from Fran its in my profile
Best online scrabble site ever- Scrabulous.com
there's a great on-line game. It's competitive against players at your level
hi herin
I am not observant--don't believe in an organized godthing--dorens, but take comfort in the world's spirituality, if that makes any sense. You? Are you doing the Holiday thing? I am going to a friends' for break fast tomorrow evening--I won't be fasting, however...
Hi
Fasting and I don't get along. The only time I do is for a colonostomy. And, not without a lot of groaning
ce 5/6?
hi, herin
de9/66?
LOL, funny icon, Karyn.
nm, got the ce How dense of me
Bye everyone--off to another Scrabble game.
I have a message from FRAN
hi guyzes
hello, nutty buddy, how are you today?
good and you inky stinky???
what does Fran say, infernal?
evening all
look at lady's bio
Its in my profile
Hi Evan an Mool
hey fenie
Sorry i was looking at hotel packages :D
Where is fran? I think I am missing something...
fran's sister died, she was hit by a car
there's a thread in babanon for condolences
fran went to guam for the funeral, and said she wasn't sure when she'd be back, or when she'd be up to chatting about it
Feather i recieved a lovely email from her. The info is in my bio
Oh, that is so sad.. I will go to babanon
toughish grid this one
My mums friend died last week and they were friends for 45 years.This week has been so poo. I am glad today is the weekend. Im Hugging the Fran
how awful for Fran and her family.
I have sent a couple of emails to fran but i dont want to be a pest
Hi, all. I'm so sorry about Fran's sister. How do I find the thread in babanon to send condolences?
it's in the meet and greet section
I guess I am not a proper member to send messages in BAbAnon. Would someone please tell her, that I DO care also
oh good lord i think the person that killed Frans sister didnt stop :(
why do you say that herin?
i would inge, but i can't sign in either! forgot my username/password
Thanks, feather--I'll try there
inge, you can type your sentiments here and i'll c &p them over in babanon for you.
Fran, we miss you already. PLease accept my condolences as well. Inge
Papers feather
posted for you Inge.
papers?
feather, i can c&p for you too if you'd like
thanks, lbd
I can read the online news. But regardless. I love Fran she is a fantastic person. I just hope she gets our vertial hug
that's ok dawg, as i've already emailed her, and was the one to come let everyone know!
is there a Guam paper we can read up in?
ty though
k
you found an article about her sis? what does it say?
Yes but i dont know how shed feel about it being discussed like a news item. I think i should have just remained silent (shit my bad)
http://tinyurl.com/25ey35 this is the news article on Fran's sister
hi everyone - just read the chat....very sad - my prayers are with Fran and her family
ty dawg. herin, i see it more like this way she won't have to go through the explanations with us
Thanks, lbd. Was just searching
Thats true. Thanks LB. I just dont know what to say. I found the article as i was looking for something else.
If you go to google and type in hit-and-run accient on Guam, you get most of the facts
oh man, that stinks. i had a feeling, from her phrasing to me "hit by a car and didn't survive" that it was something like that, where she died a while after the accident. so terribly sad.
Feather it does suck royally. I dont know what to say. I i i i (blabber on)
did you read the comments? Man, it sounds SO provincial! My heart aches for the family.
herin, there isn't much to say. hope they catch whomever was driving the car.
Pam, i did read those comments. provincial...yeah that's one way to describe it.
it doesn't matter what she was doing where. the driver should have had the decency to stop and help.
brb
Blaming the victim chaps my butt.
Those sort of negative comments make my blood boil. If you hit an animal most people stop but a person to be left to die on the side of the road like garbage fks me right off
i agree with both of you. i just hope that person never has to have his/her life opened to public comment.
There is other comments on an older news article about an unnamed person This sums it up 'My point: show some respect, the woman is dead.'
Ok most people are being human on the actual news posts there is just a few complete insensitive dickx
Any how frans family have been in my mind since this happened
those are the ones you have to pity. They are quick to draw conclusions about the worst in others; if only they'd stop and look in the mirror with those same accusations.
I dont know if you remember my friends little bro was killed in a car accident, it was initially written off as 'his fault' but it turns out someone may have caused the accident and ran. This is why im so cranky about Frans situation
poke
is anyone here or have we all wondered off?
I just got here and had to read back to see what is going on
here, jsut got back
almost ready for the list, just need a nudge with the bottom right E
um that E next to the G?
heavy topics tonight, I am so sorry that you and Fran faced and are facing so much pain and turmoil
no, your other right
I dont have that one
feather, e + terms of agreement often suing for peace or a truce
ah, ty
ok, off to the list with 52 to go
thanks lb
Hi nat
yw
hi herin
Nat thats why i havent been talking as much as usual (just in spurts) as im currently largely displeased with the world in general
I understand
first ar5/12 please?
I actually am contracted though DCFS and see terrible things taht parents do to their children every day
*plugs ears* lalala, don't wanna hear.....
Hi feather
fetaher, look up betel nut
Oh look its a squirrel
ty dawg
I wont share the details of my work, just that I am in people's homes making the situation better for the kids
Thats a good think Nat. I may have to go poke my boy out of bed. I really wanted to do something today and the lazy shthead is still in bed
that's always the good part of it nat. i guess i'm a turtle. i know bad things are happening to kids, and i do what i can within our school to help, but i can't stand to hear particulars. especially now with a newborn!
haha, sounds like a good plan
yeah, it is really hard, I hate getting new cases because we hear all the really bad stuff all at once
feather, what kind of crib is Nick in? there's a major recall of one made by simplicity.
we're ok, but thanks dawg! stid was checking on me earlier too
Feather how is those lovely pair of kids of your going (note too cute for words)
Nat, i admire you for your work. I know I would be on a murder streek if i had to deal with people who hurt children.
When I was a kid, lo these many years ago, no one listened. There was no mandatory reporting. So, the scars and bruises were noticed and no more. Thanks, Nat
*streak*
and now its too late to go out grrrr
LB keep your clothes on :D
Hi all, Is Fran ok? Just saw something below about "Fran's situation."
cr6/21 please?
thanks guys, I forget how important it is sometimes
fran's sister died from a hit and run
feather: something to iron out
herin, that's why i don't do that kind of work! besides that's such an awful image!
other one please wv
Recently?
DON"T EVER FORGET. No one listened. And everyone knew.
okay...plural of social system popular to india
feather, cr+ donkeys, play with the snakes a bit
my program is called family preservation, and we are very intensive at resolving issues, in the home twice a week
oopss...thats for ca6/21
it kills me to see a kid that i suspect something has been happening with...i can't imagine NOT telling somebody about it and trying to get help for that kid
He he he. I worked in the courts for 2 years i still have night mares about my job. I worked as a security guard and well as feather said la la la l ala
That
great, Nat
Hi Nat. I'm a social worker and could have had a free MSW if I agreed to work in CPS for two years. Couldn't do it. Hats off to you.
these days it is so different. My mother was the perpetrator--much like Joan Crawford--my father the enabler, though his spankings were beatings. No one knew how to deal with a mother behaving that way...
well my friends, numbers is on early tonight, so i must go make the popcorn and get ready to snuggle in. see you all tomorrow
whats MSW?
night dawg
masters in social work
Master's of social work
I hope I don't remember it too well, lbd! Have a good night

but then again she doesnt use it much
WVU!
and I blame her for getting me addicted to this game
how bout them eers
Lovely WVU...where greatness is learned and couches are burned
Ha ha ha ha - my old companys motto - making every day a better day - thats why kids i have been broken in the head for 2 years
wv, you know the account like the one you are using is free and then you can use your own name
actually I've got the pro-account
I paid for it when my mom's trial ran out...mainly because I wanted the tile stats
ge5/16 please?
Sorry everyone
dont worry...my old companys motto was "we're not happy until you're not happy" ;)
ah, you just haven't put in sex and country and everything
and havent bothered with any icons...specially since this isnt my really personal accty
you can ask drgod to change the name if you really want to just take it over on her
makes sense :)
get your mom a cool icon and put funny links in her profile ;)
Teach these guys were and still are tossers
that could be very amusing....
ok im going to have a shower and yell at my b/f for being a lazy sob
should get some sorta bikini model or the like for her icon

they keep ending up crazy, but at this stage they're always so promising
mrp, can you sleep and babble at the same time?
that sounds like me TS, only with guys
allegedly ping :B
the before anything happens part is so much more satisfying than the first part...
lol
arrrrrrrrrrrgh renner
I like your buck teeth, mrp!
i have an anxiety disorder, i want to be comfy - before things start i can just dream and be happy :)
hehehe !
Hello Mr. President! And chic, and evanonut, and
me!
Hi, Ankh
hi ank!!
heheheheehehe!
Happy Birthday, Ren!
why are you arghhing me?
hey ank
sorry to hear it nat. so frustrating
thanks ank
hi ank
Ankh long time! How are you?
Ren is it your birthday? going on 6?
I know it, I just keep waiting to meet the sane one, but they all turn up crazy, but that might be because they find out I am a therapist in training and unload on me
watcha do for ya birthday rennie?? ***happy birthday***
19th was my bd chic -
therapist here
heh
sigh
ren was supposed to have had a cake
Well happy, Happy anyway!
Hey, Chic, it's been a long summer. I'm all tuckered out, no time for computer games. :(
Hi there, Ping, didn't see you!
i was at the hospital w/ my pops - i had a strawberry ice cream cake, and got prezzie's from nut
That's just so sad, Ankh! but welcome back!
hi ank
nut gave me "orlando"
nut, that's a great sister
OOO what did Nut get you, Ren?
are you really a therapist TS?
Thanks, Chic... okay, diving into the grid!
tragic is a social worker nat
its true
i think i only loaned him actually ren
mrp!
{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}
me too and working on my therapy degree, I wonder if there is something about our profession that attracts the crazies
and a black pearl braclet, a sponge book journal, a captain jack sparrow action figure, a pirate bandana, and a booty bag...you GAVE him to me nut
i need alot of hugging too :D
Oh as in Bloom? (not Tony)
oh maybe that's a sponge bob
i think its not the profession... i think its us )
you ok doll?
as in bloom chic
come to think of it, maybe those are all loaners...
the same things that bring us to the profession bring the crazies to us
Sounds like hours of fun there, Rennie!
we will have to work on that TS
(((mrpresident))) <-three hugs
((((mrp)))))
so tell us about the new love interest
10 years of therapy and counting :)
orlando is non returnable
am ok jade, just tired of being tired :) happy to be here though
That's why I declined getting a degree in Psych. I'm too empathetic....lock me up already etc.
Glad I haven't lent George to anyone.
I feel your pain and frustration, mrp....
well... lmao- i'm such a stereotypical lesbian... all excited over essentially nothing... we've only known of each other for a day...lol

Hi TO
(((Owl!)))
ah chix, i would love to share myeveining with you but i am an msn girl
you are so welcome but my real arms are too short to reach you
Nat is the bartender tonite Owl!
{{{mr. P}}} i am very loving with a few vodkas under my belt LOL
anyhow, she and i have been emailing all day, fairly constantly throughout the day
I had to go back, I got lost in the grid, I have never heard of that site before TS, but sounds like a neat site
Hello everyone! May I get help with the 1st ge5,14? Thanks!
i am flagged chixie@
did i not get my drink or did i drink it already?
dka gimlets
Nat... a pina colada here,if you'd be so kind.

Hair of the dog, Owl...

thanks tiny!
and she's super cute... which i don't nec. care about... but it's nice...
how are you ankh? hi nut i am buzzzed
yvw
:::puts big tip on the counter for Nat:::
blends the pina mix and rum and slides to Ank, and the gimlet to TO
my chat is lagging again today
ok chix one vodka gimlet please!
was this meeting online or real life, ts?
that is nice TS, always helps the spark along
I'm old! The summer has kicked my aged butt. That's why i haven't been around... we had drought here, I was in the yard watering all blessed day every day. Came in, fell asleep, night after night, like a farmer.
it is nat - it even gives you the statistics on why you're matched with who
online thus far. her birthday is monday - we're going out sunday
and it is free?
hiya all and iya pinger
owll is buzzed? wahoooooo!!!
TS, OKCupid okay with lesbians? I hear that eharmony discriminates.
its free
yup on both counts
shoot it's a wonder i could drive home can't even type and nut no comment formt he peanut gallery
hmm I will have to look into that
loads of bi girls... far fewer lesbians, but the site is happy with everyone
hello t owl
ok, no comment on the driving drunk thing
I did a match account, but didn't want to pay and it wont let you read what people send you
Nut where are you?
i'd kinda like to see there be trans options, but...
I know some poly people who use it, guess I should have known OKC would be more welcoming than eHarmony.
at home in bed chic
::debates whether she knows TS well enough to ask::
Alone? get on your IM....
if i'm a lesbian? :)
Evan, you do this in bed?
<--- tried laptop in bed last year, didn't much work.
Er, no, TS, you just mentioned trans.
i yam!!!
ahh
I'm having a bad Blurt Attack, ignore me.
*pouts* i want to play, too!
no, just quite trans-friendly
I already blurted out the exact same question to someone RL this week... I have the manners of a goat.
heh- in the future you can ask what pronouns they use
Owl, play what? the grid?
then you're not a goat, just gender-progressive
i'll go on msn! i'll update ya
nno i want to im but my pc cannot handle yahoo
sorry pooper
i'll go to msn as well owl
maybe aim, owl?
Heh! No, I know that device. What it is, is my neighbor in my non-lez-friendly neighborhood was over. And she raised the issue of trans, and the way she raised it suggested she was thinking about it, and without thinking about my manners, I just... blurted.
ahh...
yeah- well... i've been asked like 10 times this week in "real life"
not sure what it's about...
I couldn't unsay it, but it was okay, she just laughed. She was the one who brought it up. Her partner calls her "husband" so I thought, you know, well maybe? I don't know many lesbian pairs that say husb/wife.
de8,50 please?
ankh, where is the source of all our troubles?
:::points to the White House::: But I think you mean the brain. :)

hi gang - would love a clue for the first ha4,5. How's everyone doing tonight?
Hello babbz! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
Not too bad, min, and thanks for asking - how are u tonight?
Does anyone have a clue for the er 5/12 word please
ha + cute alien movie
ha 4/5 could get you jugged
min when someone builds something, they er*** it
er 5/12, er*** a building, construct
Thank you for the er 5/12 clue. I just found the word
joso - thanks - that one was giving me fits - never heard of it!
yw babbz
yw min
say, i have a question for you babblers around the world. Are your street intersections being blessed (!) with cameras that give you automatic tickets if you don't stop before the white line when driving?
I am doing well babbz. I signed on late so won't finish.
me either min - i've got 30 left so it'll be close
Fortunately, it has not happened to met yet babbz.
I have 13 left, but don't really care if I finish tonight.
babz, a few corrners, not all by far.
i probably didn't phrase that right - i meant that the cameras record people who don't stop before the white line at a red light and you end up getting a ticket in the mail for $100!!!
well, that was a fascinating video - i was kinda bored by the beginning, but i'm glad i watched the whole thing - amazing
This scares the snot out of me. - HK are they putting these cameras in Chicago?
babbz - they are here & my friend works as a hearing officer for these cases
yes, got the idea, we have at maybe 1 in 200 corners, high accedent corrners only so far, but you can see the thin edge of the wedge.
there's one on an intersection near my house & it's really stopped people going through the red light which i like
oh no kidding? I just can't believe how they are popping up everywhere. It has turned me into one paranoid driver, second guessing myself at every stop. I HATE them!! I can see giving a ticket to someone who runs the red light but they are giving tickets to people who stop but whose bumper goes slightly over the white line. Also lots of right turn on red lights.
guess the eyes-in-the-sky have reached the outskirts of town. I understand from friends on the right (directionally speaking) side of the Atlantic, they've been in vogue for a decade or more -- not just for traffic but for all kinds of surveillance. Welcome to the world of George Orwell.
although i strongly believe that if bad driving was handled they way it was when i was learning to drive ( in the 70's) that there would be fewer idiots who feel like they can do whatever they want
Hello jwr! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle!
Scarey, isn't it, jwr? I was reading where they were originally taking photos of people in the cars, too.
& that is that there were cops everywhere giving tickets, so it was fear-based good driving, now these cops are either out shooting people, getting shot, or eating donuts
true dat, helenkeller - around here everyone thinks where they have to go is infinitely more important than where you have to go, lol!
i hear that!
jayferg..how are you doing?
Did I tell you all my son got hired as a police officer out in Wyoming? He's currently in the police academy.
Is that you Mom??
I have 7 left and would like to finish before flip,so I'm going to rapidly ask for clues. I hope you don't mind!
yes
He got maced the other day and apparently will get tasered too. He said the mace was the worst pain he's ever been in in his life and he has no plans to ever mace anyone ever, unless someone is trying to kill him
Hi Minver -- just leaving, actually. I'm giving up with 31 left, the furthest I've gotten so far (and proud OF it!) but I had to put my tuppence-worth in. See ya all next grid.
although, i always try to think that maybe they actually may have someplace very important to get to - i think back when i was called to the hospital, my mom was dying & i went through every red light i came to, probably a dozen - of course, it was 4 am & the streets were empty
Hello G-Ma! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
I only have 40
well that's one thing, but around here they drive that way taking their kids to soccer practice, lol
I am doing ok. 49 to go but stuck and Merlo wants the computer
Hello jayferg!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid
wow - scary what they make them go through, but i guess it makes good sense - good luck to him, may he always be safe
Thanks. "Hi"
thanks!
yes, well to some people soccer is religion, lol
haha hk
gotta go check on dog - bbl
cu later
