Ta Da, I am now a Village Elder. So you all have to treat me with proper respect. Granted I am an itsy bits Village Elder, way down near the bottom of the list. In fact I'll likely get pushed off the bottom of the list as others compleat the grid today, but I'm on the list for the next hour or two. I think for my Elder title I'll take Grand Poobah JoSo, no... wait, Illustrious Grand Poobah JoSo. Yes, that fits, you can all call me Illustrious Grand Poobah Joso from now on.

1:21 am

Heheheh, ruru!

1:21 am

lolol joso

1:21 am

oh, that was a bad one, nan. I hope no one was badly hurt

1:22 am

1:22 am

joso-ywan-kanobee

1:22 am

joso-highness

1:22 am

el-joso

1:23 am

in joso we trust

1:23 am

I heard an ambulance arriving at the scene around 8:00 pm, but don't know if that was just a precaution or not. They reported on the 11:00 pm news that it may have been deliberately set.

1:23 am

ty ty, *bows left, bows right, bows to the camera

1:23 am

Joso-licious?

1:23 am

wow, nan -- quite a fire!

1:23 am

1:24 am

joso-palooza

1:24 am

LOL

1:24 am

oh yes, we have sicko arsonists up here too, stid

1:24 am

*cries for canada*

1:24 am

yes, we were very fortunate that there was no wind tonight -- otherwise it would have spread up the hill towards our house.

1:25 am

mentally, I was packing...

1:27 am

I would have too nan -- I have a mental checklist of the things that are most important: Tom, boys, critters, my dolls... the important papers are in a fireproof box so no worries there.

1:28 am

good night all -- think everything is under control now, although the firetrucks are still there and they are still pouring on the water.

1:28 am

sweet dreams nan. May all be well.

1:29 am

I am heading out too -- need to be up in seven hours. *waves to all*

1:29 am

Impressive pixs nan, g'nite sleep well

2:02 am

2:02 am

2:04 am

2:04 am

2:04 am

2:06 am

2:14 am

aww, thanks lds, yw

2:15 am

jilli, it's a bird with a brightly colored beak

2:15 am

to6 is a tropical, carniverous bird. froot loops.

2:15 am

ty dc -- hope it eats fish

2:16 am

rodents mostly

2:16 am

i have two ty words, are there any more?

2:16 am

2:16 am

2:17 am

2:17 am

2:18 am

2:18 am

morning again, anyone here now?

2:19 am

i'm here!

2:19 am

yes, sprite m'dear

2:19 am

wb spritey!

2:19 am

indeed so, sprite, wb!

2:19 am

good to see you :)

2:20 am

i have one ay word, are there more than that?

2:20 am

my beautiful kids can read english so much better now (after 80 pages) that we actually read 7 pages this morning!

2:20 am

no, fran

2:21 am

thanks dc

2:21 am

that great, sprite!

2:21 am

what are you reading?

2:21 am

just one ay word, and I don't have it

2:21 am

that's so cool sprite, they really absorb so much when they're young

2:21 am

it is SO much fun! I only have to translate single words now. We are reading Arrows of the Queen by Mercedes Lackey.

2:21 am

What's the book, sprite?

2:21 am

jilli, you'll just have to keep looking ** the grid for it (add that)

2:22 am

it's a hebrew letter, fran

2:22 am

darn, don't know the book

2:22 am

thank you fran

2:22 am

oh thanks dc, didn't know that

2:22 am

jilli, it's a hebrew letter ¡ay mi mente!

2:22 am

yw jilli

2:23 am

it is totally painless indeed, Fran! I started out by reading a sentence and then translating it. After a while I read a sentence and let them translate with my help. And now I read, and they raise a hand when they don't know a word, and then the other translates, or me, if neither knows. They learn so fast.

2:23 am

jilli, I read a part of it in babblebooks!

2:23 am

aleph, beth (I think) -- that's about all the Hebrew I know

2:23 am

it's okay dc...we all have those days. :-)

2:23 am

i read that long ago. i barely remember it. may be worth a revisit.

2:24 am

16th letter of hebrew alphabet

2:24 am

lovely book

2:24 am

i haven't caught up with babblebooks sprite, something i should do soon.

2:24 am

you can let it play while babbling, Fran :)

2:24 am

sprite, I must do something about that some day -- skype, I mean -- but I never seem to have time.

2:25 am

i think that would be very distracting for me, sprite.

2:25 am

how do we get to babblebooks?

2:25 am

it is for me dc, i have to listen to the podcasts when nothing else is happening.

2:25 am

you will, jilli, when the time is right. For listening, you need nothing special. You can just use the player that is on the site itself, hit the play button and it loads, hit again and it plays, if I remember correctly.

2:26 am

www.babblebooks.podbean.com i think.

2:26 am

dc, that is for women. We easily multitask :)

2:26 am

finnaly found na6/18

2:26 am

http://babblebooks.podbean.com/

2:26 am

skype is really easy to install, as long as you have a broadband connection.

2:26 am

go dc go!

2:27 am

someone said the na6/18 was an indian dance, that's a new one for me

2:27 am

the second one from the top, jilli

2:27 am

sprite, i grew up in a house with a radio and a tele on most ef the time. I rarely listen to much at home. silence is golden. I break out the violin or piano if i want noise mostly.

2:27 am

wtg dc!

2:28 am

speaking of multitasking, today i was listening to iTunes, babbling, playing two games of scrabble and doing laundry. :-)

2:28 am

I only have radio or tv on when I really want to listen/watch something. For the rest, I love the quiet. But when I babble and need to listen to a podcast, it is not a problem.

2:28 am

Fran, you could be the princess of multitasking!

2:28 am

laundry is great that way, it goes while you do other things.

2:29 am

I've written it down on a piece of paper, sprite, for future reference because it's really bedtime for me. Very full days coming up.

2:29 am

and thanks for the na6

2:29 am

sleep well, jilli

2:29 am

lol, no that would be heather (featherbee) because she would be doing all that and nursing her son at the same time. :-D

2:29 am

sleep is important, jilli! *hugs* Sleep well!

2:29 am

night jilli! ((hug))

2:29 am

grin, true Fran.

2:30 am

i've watched my sister bake a cake while nursing. amazing to watch the juggling.

2:30 am

speaking of featherbee, that video for the last puzzle was hilarious!

2:30 am

funny dc

2:30 am

it's mostly a women's thing, to multitask. Men are way better in focussing completely. We are complimentary that way.

2:30 am

i have 2 AU words, any others?

2:31 am

clue for 2nd ta5/10, pls?

2:31 am

I agree, jilli! Great vid!

2:31 am

other AU words that is

2:31 am

2xau is it

2:31 am

dc, do you have the one that is almost the lone ranger's buddy?

2:31 am

there should be such a thing as a nursing sling so mothers could have both hands available for baking cakes etc. Maybe there is...

2:31 am

my only ta5 is a spot or smudge

2:31 am

thanks dc

2:31 am

thanks Fran

2:31 am

there is jilli

2:31 am

hm. good point, jilli

2:32 am

there is, jilli. We used it a lot.

2:32 am

yw sprite

2:32 am

*gasp* i found all the 4s before i found all the 5s. that's a rare thing for me.

2:33 am

i did that once dc, it is unusual

2:33 am

Glad to hear it! Now I must go -- lucky 13 words left for spooky tomorrow!

2:33 am

http://slingy.dk/

2:33 am

bye jilli!

2:33 am

woooot dc! Never happens to me!

2:33 am

jilli, that link is for you... write it down and check out later :D

2:34 am

ty sprite -- will do -- *poof*

2:35 am

i have 3 left, but monkeys are on strike, i might have to get the list

2:35 am

poor jilli, even when she is determined to leave, we force her to stay ;)

2:35 am

Fran, I am sure dc can help!

2:35 am

yep, it wasn't her doing this time. :-)

2:37 am

i think he's gone to check his email

2:37 am

and of course I could help by concentrating on the letters you still miss too

2:37 am

oh, hi

2:37 am

what'd i do?

2:37 am

i know they are normal words and i'm just not seeing them.

2:38 am

nothing bad, dc!

2:38 am

oh, i have 2 left, na5/10 and un5

2:38 am

go dc go!

2:38 am

i just found to5/16

2:38 am

awwwwwwww my hairy nosed dolphin is back! I love that babblet. So light and happy a word.

2:38 am

yes, i was happy to see it today too sprite. :-)

2:38 am

reach out and to5, dc?

2:39 am

which word is hairy-nosed dolphin, that means nothing to me.

2:39 am

mainly because i was happy to see any words that i recognized!

2:39 am

in4/4 dc

2:39 am

it is a famous babblet, dc. in4/4

2:39 am

yes, like the old AT&T jingle back in the day. :)

2:39 am

I love the sound of it, and the way it looks. It is a word that makes me smile. Am I a weirdo or not, LOL.

2:39 am

ah, okay.

2:39 am

you must google the in4/4 dc, it's really pretty. FM has it in her flickr i think.

2:40 am

lol dc :) Yup, that one!

2:40 am

will do

2:41 am

there's an na5/10?

2:41 am

gosh, were un5 a snake, it'a bit me

2:41 am

in dutch, dolphin is a great word. Dolfijn. Dol in dutch means crazy, wild, playfully-wild. Fijn means both fine and pleasant. :)

2:41 am

2x na5.10

2:42 am

dol might be related to dolt - a stupid or dense person.

2:42 am

that's cute sprite

2:42 am

fran, ur icon keeps making me think of breakfast cereal.

2:43 am

I don't think so, dc. Dol in dutch is really more wild, uncontrollable. Not dense.

2:43 am

breakfast cereal? how

2:43 am

awww sweet ghoulies, Fran!

2:43 am

yes, but if we allow for dol being a proto-germanic syllable, one could see where both derivations could come from.

2:43 am

does it look like frankenberry and count chocula?

2:44 am

and booberry! :D

2:44 am

and can somebody please tell me to quit trying vacant pleasepleaseplease? I am driving me crazy.

2:44 am

thanks sprite, aren't they?

2:44 am

"HAPPY HALLOWEEN" everyone.....:)

2:44 am

very!

2:44 am

2:44 am

and to you, too hodag!

2:44 am

2:44 am

hi ho, happy hallowe'en!

2:45 am

2:46 am

2:47 am

2:47 am

2:48 am

2:49 am

2:50 am

ca4x2 ca5 cux3

2:50 am

2:50 am

thanks dc!

2:50 am

2:50 am

duh, i was missing the very easy ca5

2:50 am

but I don't have the cu words yet, so thank you too :)

2:51 am

well, we can do without the cu4 in the grids

2:51 am

2:51 am

2:52 am

just as i missed the musical term :)

2:55 am

hmz, could not find the first cu word...

2:55 am

way to go Fran>>>>:)

2:55 am

oh yes, it certainly did, dc! Nice to know! The madhouse in the middle ages was called de dolhuis in dutch.

2:55 am

it's an unpleasant word, sprite, we avoid it in the chat.

2:56 am

~F~I~R~E~W~O~R~K~S~ for Fran!

2:56 am

cu4/6 sprite, one we don't like, but the trolls love

2:56 am

ah, okay, so that sense existed in dutch, but yall took a happier take on it. :)

2:57 am

yeah, I know dc... I was wondering whether it was stupid of me I could not find it at first, or that it is because of my pure brain...

2:57 am

;) *pats sprite on head fondly and offers her a quaalude*

2:57 am

LOL

2:58 am

sorry to be unclear... I found it, but it took me some time, and I thought, I should have seen it earlier... or perhaps I should not :D

2:58 am

oh, my, maybe i'm in the tee-hee zone. :)

2:58 am

there has to be a different reason, because we know you aren't stupid, but you also don't have a pure brain. :-)

2:58 am

lol dc! and lol Fran too.

2:59 am

Now I know... below-the-belt-babble-blindness!

2:59 am

that's a good one sprite!

2:59 am

same reason people miss penis. :-)

2:59 am

lol sprite!

3:00 am

and then it's always a guy that asks for a clue for it!

3:00 am

lol Fran... when penis is in the grid, I always spot it fast... and then I say hey, my favorite p5 word is in the grid, and then everybody spots it too :D

3:00 am

more like below-the-bible-belt-babble blindness

3:00 am

oh yes, that is true Fran!

3:00 am

grin, dc! Nice one!

3:00 am

i've had to have the p5 clued

3:01 am

Fran, I had to re-read your post, btw. Miss Penis looked so weird to me :)

3:02 am

LOL sprite! that would be the winner of the transgender pageant.

3:02 am

in dutch we have NO nice word for this cu4. It is either a scientific word or a rude word. Nothing in between.

3:03 am

Spanish is like that with sexual bits, too.

3:03 am

sad, isn't it. Such nice things and no nice names for it.

3:05 am

i think it shows either an uptightness or a laidbackness on the topic, if not showing some of bothe.

3:05 am

probably really obvious but any clues for na4,4 first one

3:05 am

I agree, dc

3:05 am

indian bread, double vowel

3:06 am

thankyou got a bit of a blank on that one

3:06 am

3:06 am

3:06 am

3:12 am

3:12 am

Yes he was 8)

3:13 am

3:13 am

okay, this is just my guilty pleasure of the moment, but i was so upset...Sabrina was voted off of "Dancing with the Stars" tonight!

3:14 am

Did I just hear Charlie Daniles?? :)

3:14 am

I have no idea about Sabrina, Fran, but I can hug you {{{{{{{{{FRAN}}}}}}}}}

3:14 am

3:15 am

3:15 am

3:15 am

3:15 am

I,am thinken....lol

3:15 am

not really, dc, it was about the lyrics Fran quoted

3:15 am

yes, i saw, and actually put it together this time. :D

3:16 am

i want to get the fiddle part for Devil Went Down to Georgia. i think it'd be fun, and a good exercise for me to learn.

3:17 am

wtg dc, i frequently get lost in the chat, especially during the US day when there are so many people on.

3:17 am

Rock And Roll Heaven - The Righteous Brothers

3:17 am

that would be cool dc...then you could record it and post it for us to hear. :-)

3:17 am

3:26 am

I think this one is tough,maybe it is because im tired

3:26 am

it was tough, hodag

3:26 am

3:26 am

lots of vowels is often worse than lots of consonants.

3:26 am

no it is tough

3:27 am

Im glad it isn't just me.....:)

3:27 am

I mean, it is tough, not it is because you are tired, lol. Sorry.

3:27 am

3:33 am

3:33 am

Cool Girl - I am very anti-fireworks - my friend had half his face blown off at a Trafalgar celebration do a couple of years ago

3:33 am

3:33 am

that is terrible, Liz!

3:33 am

LOL DC

3:34 am

3:34 am

yes Sprite - but he is doing ok now after lots of surgery and a false eye

3:34 am

he is very positive about it all

3:34 am

3 dragon farts?

3:34 am

Liz, I SO hate that to happen to people because of the stupidity of others. I am glad he is so strong about it. He deserved better.

3:34 am

OOPs!!!

3:35 am

lol ho... 3 dagen fris = 3 days fresh (in dutch)

3:35 am

the problem 4 me is whos selling these kids the fireworks in the first place

3:35 am

He is a lovely fella Sprite. He had to give up his job - well he was in hospital so long - but he's now set up his own business and is doing really well

3:35 am

lol ho!

3:36 am

3:40 am

3:41 am

evening all

3:41 am

the babbler in the grid is one of the 6s, but good catch

3:41 am

MrP! Hi :)

we don't do anything for halloween dcs. day of the dead is tomorrow, we think of our dear dead then

3:44 am

what is her name

3:44 am

sprite, i carefully avoid certain areas around this time of year.

3:44 am

oo ooo I found two words! LOL I'm on a roll

3:44 am

it can be horribly overwhelming.

3:44 am

go liz go!

3:44 am

I only found 17 so far and I've been here 15 minutes!

3:45 am

brb

3:45 am

in full she is Isis Caya... Isis from the egyptian goddess of fertility and Caya from Gaya or Gaia, the Mother Earth.

3:45 am

could you btell me what these 6s start with

hi sprite :)

3:45 am

ah thats where you got the Caya from

3:45 am

lovely name

3:46 am

6s: in, nax2, ou, to, vi

3:46 am

thanks sprite

3:46 am

My little girl has an ordinary sounding name but we changed it last minute - she wasn't breathing when she was born, it was a very dramatic story, and we called her after the midwife who ssaved her life

3:47 am

and we call here Caya, but we chose to put her second name in front... because we thought Caya Isis sounded like a kind of disease, and because my first name starts with a C as well. Easier to separate the mail this way.

3:47 am

wow Liz... my daughter didn't breath either at birth.

3:47 am

2 of my children have quite unusual names ther nadine and sheriff

3:48 am

lovely names,, cool

3:48 am

it was a nightmare Sprite. My baby was born on Sark - only baby to be born here for nearly 40 years - no equipment on the island for such a thing! Midwife rushed over on lifeboat in hurricane force winds and saved her

3:48 am

that is wonderful, Liz. I am so happy it ended well... you must have been scared out of your mind.

3:49 am

nah I was high on gas - the only pain killer they had lol

3:49 am

(I can laugh now...)

3:49 am

liz, what is your baby's name?

3:49 am

my sons name means first born in muslim im not muslim but his dads from nigeria

3:49 am

She is Megan Samantha, Xan

3:49 am

nice

3:50 am

fireworks, and a beautiful name, Liz

3:50 am

Megan because my Dads family are welsh and Samantha was the midwife who brought over the life saving injection to get her heart going

3:50 am

5:02 am

WHAT???

5:02 am

That dolphin really gets around.

5:02 am

hairy-nosed dolphin. it's an in4/4

THanks dc

5:03 am

No if you go to Whos online and have a look at FMMitch she has babblets in there

5:04 am

it's one of the babblets you'll learn as you play more, like etui and etwee, which are needle cases, alt spellings.

OUtie is a word

5:18 am

Did you find the ou word, lady?

5:18 am

it's good stuff. you use it just at earliest onset of symptoms, or when you 'll be in an environment or conditions where you might get sick.

I did find that ou 6 thanks

5:19 am

What's in it, dc? Chemicals or herbals?

5:19 am

herbals

5:20 am

Sounds good. Wish they sold it here.

i am drinking Pervonkia (?) Croat wormwood

5:21 am

sounds awful, but i know it's effective

pelinkovac i mean

5:22 am

Does it taste very bitter, as in wormwood and gall?

It will knock you on your arse but its ok

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelinkova c

5:24 am

we were discussing hot toddies earlier, speaking of medicinal drinks

5:26 am

I see it's akin to Jegermeister. That got me back on my feet in Austria, the first and last time I tried skiing. Never again!

This is the company

http://www.badel1862.hr/en_jap.asp

Pelinkovac Gorki Pelinkovac Gorki makes you feel good. The most popular among bitter liqueurs, Pelinkovac Gorki, is distinguished by strong and agreeable aroma. It quickly found its way to a wide range of admirers. Due to the prevailing flavour of wormwood, well known throughout centuries as a medicinal herb, Pelinkovac Gorki has been recognised as indispensable in moments of relaxation and companionship. 31% vol.

5:26 am

i've had no interestin downhill, but i like cross-country. Of course, i like hiking, too.

Its enough to scare off a cold.

Hydra i did warn you about it

5:27 am

31%?Mein Gott!

5:27 am

It's enough to scare off the Grim Reaper, that's for sure!

Yep. That and honey, non alcholic mead, honey, cloves and ginger. Been keeping it at bay

5:29 am

I have no interest involving anything that requires having my feet slide from under me. I'm a wimp. Horses, bicycles, fine. Skiing, skating, forget it.

5:29 am

we vote next week for state and local officials. it's shocking how much mail i've gotten relative to the election.

Oh and snow is wet and cold.

Dc the sad thing is you cant tell them to bugger off

5:30 am

It looks so bgeautiful on the trees and mountains tho, lady

5:30 am

Snow, not election mail!

Thats true. and thats where it and i part

Well thats a vailid point to Hydra Election Mail is made from trees tress that would look better on mountains

5:32 am

2 more words to find. I hadn't meant to be so profound, but now you put it like that, my subconscious was obviously working behind the scenes!

I cant take a lot of over the counter drugs as i am allergic to tetrocycline (the main incredient in most antibiotics and my Antidepression drugs stop me from taking over the counter stuff

Thats why i think campaign material should be elective. like "no election mai,l but send it to this email addy, or on their website, that kind of thing

5:34 am

***FIREWORKS**** Happy Hallowe'en! *poof*

5:34 am

congats, hydra!

Night Hydra

I used to have trouble sleeping but it seems since I started taking vitamins, my sleepless nights have ended.

Yep. I sleep talk so it wakes him up and me. ONe hot toddy and its all good tonight

5:49 am

ciao, must do shift turnover.

5:49 am

{poof}

5:52 am

Good morning everyone.

Good morning, carlee!

Good morning, scrabbler!

5:53 am

5:53 am

hi nonnie

5:53 am

morniing. maybe he wantss to leave us time for trick or treating?

good morning, dorens

5:54 am

***sneaks in and Halloween pounce hugs carlee***

5:54 am

maybe THATS it???? sheesh

5:54 am

G'd morning Babblers! itty bitty grid. :(

5:54 am

Carlee how are things going?

5:55 am

those granddaughters of yours a real cuties Nonnie!

5:55 am

hehehe...morning lori * brushing self off and hands halloween girl a cup of coffee*

5:55 am

things are way too busy.... am glad is a small grid....

5:55 am

It is always fascinating to ask kids in my office what they are planning "to be" for Halloween. The boys are into superheros, firefighters, policemen. So many girls are princesses, cheerleaders and brides. The latter makes me concerned.

5:55 am

***gratefully accepts fresh coffee***

Thank you, lideola!

Good Morning Babblers and Happy Halloween

5:55 am

morning nono

5:56 am

G'd morning Nono. Happy Halloween to you!

5:56 am

morning everyone :-)

5:56 am

every girl should get to be a princess at least once for Halloween

5:56 am

Hi Lori and Nono--a bunch of us just walked in the door at the same time.

5:56 am

age old traditions die hard scrabbler

5:56 am

G'd morning katie. :)

Good morning, nono!

5:56 am

Hi katie

5:56 am

wht bothers me is when they are all characters I've never heardof, and wear these awful storebought costumes that all look the same.

5:56 am

what are the granddaughters getting dressed as Nonnie?

5:57 am

I have the ever popular 1 devil, 1 ninja, 1 spiderman this year.....

Lid, that is a darling picture of your two little ones. Cute!

5:57 am

Yes--Power Rangers, etc.

5:57 am

Lideola's girls are So cute--I stared at that pic a few days ago. It is a great shot.

She is going as an octopus, lideola.

5:57 am

Power Rangers. Banned here, that show induces ADD I swear

5:57 am

i have a daughter who is going out with a friend as "conscience ", mine is the devil on one shoulder...

5:58 am

i have to go to our school's halloween parade this morning and act suitably delighted, scared, impressed or whatever by all the kindergartners and first graders (yesterday one asked me what I was going to be)

5:58 am

the other...weare in london..he is playing hockey..no trick and treating for him

5:58 am

LOVE it Nonnie

5:58 am

DoodleBops are banned here Lori

5:58 am

and ALL Bratz

5:59 am

what is a doodlebop?

5:59 am

those Bratz, they make me glad our girl is now way too old. What crap!

I was going to ask the same, carlee :o)

5:59 am

ty Nonnie- everyone ooohs and ahhs over animal pics, and they are cute, but I like to see the kids : )

5:59 am

DoodleBops are on Playhouse Disney and I just can't even look at them

5:59 am

***pretends to know what a doodlbop is, but really doesn't.***

I have a hard time deciding between animals and kids...animals and kids, since the grandbaby--no contest!

6:00 am

I don't know what any of these things are... I'm still stuck on Sesame Street characters like cookie monster and oscar the grouch

6:01 am

oh animals AND kids make for cute pictures... either/or

6:01 am

There is a lot of crap, more of it detrimental to girls than the boys, IMO.

6:01 am

ok... never heard of them... bratz... know those...daughter has a few.... i have noticed that they are easier to dress then a barbie was... a barbie was a struggle to dress..I hated barbies as a kid for that VERY reason

6:01 am

I've had to cut back on the Sesame Street a bit since my 2 1/2 year old has decided that she really IS Super Grover and absolutely CAN fly

6:02 am

lol lideola

6:02 am

LOL, Lideola

I was volunteered to watch a friend's three year old the other day. I was subjected to multiple shows of Sponge Bob. I'm sorry, but after that I told my kids I will stick fork prongs in my eyes before I allow another showing of Sprong Bob in the house. My grandkids will just have to suffer.

6:02 am

snufflupagous... hands down my fav BEFORE everyone could see him..i liked when he was big birds friend ONLY

6:02 am

nver thought i was going to have to cut out sesame street for content reasons

6:03 am

Is anyone else typing in words for letters that have 0/0--I am. Dopey Scrabbler.

6:03 am

Scrabbler, i agree that a lot of subliminal and not so subliminall messaging is being done to little girls. Programming htem to be empty headed and pretty, and nothing else. i worry about that

morning all, can someone clue me for the ou 6 can't figure it out and I have to go to work, it will bother me all day, lol

6:03 am

agree carlee... snuffie was big bird's friend and we shouldn't have ever seen him

6:03 am

actually nonnie..initially I felt the same about SB...but...I watched a few...and the " be a friend, be loyal, be kind " themes are pretty strong in there....

Good morning, Cheryl

Hi anyone i missed

6:04 am

I wory when the parents permit their girls to watch or live out that negative, low-aspiring stuff.

hey nonie

6:04 am

Walking through the girls section of a Department store to get to the boys section, scares me. i'd NEVER purchase some of the clothes I see. totally inappropriate for the age IMO

6:05 am

i worry too lori... I started buying the tv series on dvd's...we've done little house on the prairie, christy, beauty and the beast, macgyver and now we are doing gilmore girls

6:05 am

G'd morning herin. g'd morning Sheryl. Sorry, i have 2 words.....

6:05 am

Absolutely, Lori--some of the words and phrases are totally sexually oriented.

6:05 am

i'm disturbed by all the sex kitten clothes that mmake their way down to clothes for 6 year olds... belly shirts, off shoulder, etc... these little girls look so pathetic, particularly the pudgy ones

6:05 am

lol i brainwash my girls..."We don't like spongebob, we don't like Bratz, yucky DoodleBops, no- that candy tastes terrible" and my favorite, "So, what kind of doctor are you going to be when you grow up?"

6:05 am

Great choices, Carlee.

6:05 am

I've got 14! sounds like we are all flying through the grid today!!

6:05 am

Exactly Dorens. Disturbing, at best.

Dont forget now Cookie Monsters cookies are sometimes food

Good message but one of the character's head exploding and the brain rolling around on the floor was just a little too weird for me.

i dont have the ou6 yet Sheryl

6:06 am

I wish #1 was on. She'd love this conversation.

6:06 am

Or when I see an adolescent girl with a belly ring and she says, "My Mom and I got them at the same time."

And then they made Mrs Snuffy to be PC

6:06 am

We are huge Spongebob fans here. #1 loathes them

Scrabbler do you reach out and smack them upside the head?

6:07 am

don't let's get started on poor parenting now, scrabbler... i'll never find the other 51 words

lol dorens

6:07 am

this grid is ridiculous

6:07 am

what grid?

this grid is an halloween horror!

6:07 am

I avoid reasons for arrest and prosecution, Lady, but a large number of parents and kids need a smack upside the head.

6:08 am

sheryl, I got it not in but ou* + movie ***ors and ***resses

6:08 am

there is a grid.... * looking around, deliberately ignoring that yellow and green squarish thing *

6:08 am

I have found 7 words, LOL.

6:08 am

i'm up to a whopping 13

6:08 am

***doesn't even see this yellow/green thing carlee is referencing***

What is wrong with The Doodlebops having not seen it apart from the web they seem like Hi Five

ah, ty lori!

6:09 am

I'm up to 4!

6:09 am

i just don't like the way they look, don't like their voices, etc

6:09 am

Get it sheryl?

6:09 am

Hmm, what movie is that, Lori?

ty, didn't get it but have to go to work, have a good day all

Ok you need to check out Hi 5 at least they use proper spelling

oops, 9 past the hour! Have to get going or I'll be late for work. Take care all and have a very Happy Halloween, for those who are tricking OR treating. <boo!>

6:10 am

yes, we occassionally watch Hi5 here, but our new favorite is SuperWhy- new show and we LOVE it

6:10 am

Take care nonnie, sheryl have a good day.

6:12 am

but videos/television is strictly rationed in my house- they watch one during breakfast, 1 before nap and 1 before bed

Oh and dont start me on the Veronicas makes me want to reach out and slap them. THey are 20 years old and make hooker wear for 7 year olds. THey are singers and they think that 'I would wear it, its ok'. I told the boy to get them off the telly the other day as i loath their principles and their songs

Lideo there is Itunes podcasts for Superwhy

6:13 am

just to help settle them down before sleeping, of course we have the bedtime books and songs, etc.

6:13 am

i don't know the Veronica's

6:13 am

never heard of the veronicas herin

6:13 am

we painted our 2 jack o lanterns as SuperWhy characters

6:14 am

never heard of super why

http://www.target.com.au/theveronicas/

6:14 am

oh wow..up to 13 words now myself...

It has sound but this is the fashion

6:15 am

yeah i am watching Hook Me UP right now

6:16 am

Good morning Babble ladies!

and listen to the lyrics it is aweful

6:16 am

good morning red.... and beloved ;-)

I love watching Five Minutes more (story on a rug) I love it

Hi scarlet

6:17 am

aha! i have gotten to the halfway point and now must get ready to face the day..... see you later, and happy babbling

6:17 am

Passed along to the big coffee sipper in the kitchen, kat! :-)

bye bye dorens have a great day

6:17 am

and good morning scarlet.....

6:17 am

Hello, Dorens... I hardly ever see you anymore!

6:17 am

Later Dorens. G'd morning Scarlet!!!

6:18 am

hi Scarlet.

6:18 am

G'Day dear LoriP! Good morning, Scrabbler.

6:18 am

the song is decent- but the message of the video is not so hot, "Be disrespectful towards teachers, the classroom isn't a place for learning, its a place to meet guys, etc"

6:18 am

Geez, I have just 10 words. I was off checking e-mail.

6:19 am

anyway- grid diving now as I have only a few more minutes of babble time left this morning

Lideo also the stupid thing is they are bouncing about in 'school uniforms' and singing a song which has a double meaning

6:20 am

OK herin, now I see your point. I must be getting old, what is wrong with little girls being little girls?

6:20 am

Yippee, Katie

I dont know Katie i have seen 10 year olds wearing 'love you long time' t shirts

Now i feel old ha ah

6:22 am

this type of crap is exactly the kind of crap that brought about all the problems my daughter had in the spring with online bullying

Scrabler long time no see how is the bunnies?

My friends son had to ring her whilst IN CLASS as the teacher had left the room and he was being bullied. Turns out he was punched so hard he had a bruise. But this kid had to use his phone to call his mum to call the school. It is disgusting. He got suspended for 2 days for swearing at a teacher (proofed as here say) These kids get nothing for hitting him

6:28 am

yeap... I know... the teachers here anyway...refuse to do anything about bullying...their attitude is "don't do it" and instead of being adults and actually intervening they are completely putting the responsibility of stopping it upon the kids... they require "prep time" and so therefore cannot be on the school yard to supervise except 5 mins before the bell ( mind lunch time is from 11:30 to 12:15 and the kids who eat at school are outside unsupervised from 11:50 to 12:10

6:29 am

The bunnies are all cute and well, Lady.

In school we had lunch time supervision

Scrabbler you seen cute overload lately?

6:29 am

contract with the gov't is... X number of prep time minutes / school day during reg school hours...

6:29 am

Yes, a few days ago. Time to get ready for work--bye everyone. Enjoy the day.

6:30 am

and... of course the union mandated 2 15 min breaks and 30 min lunch

6:30 am

*Waves goodbye to Scrabbler*

6:30 am

bye scrabs... enjoy the day

bye bye scrabbler enjoy your day

6:30 am

we had lunch mothers/playground monitors- mothers who volunteered to supervise lunch and the 45 minutes after eating that the kids played in the school yard

6:31 am

i must get to work as well, thank goodness I telecommute

6:31 am

I can just shut of babble and log in to work.

6:32 am

and sometimes I don't even need to shut off babble!

6:32 am

bbl for my last 54, lol

6:32 am

happy halloween!

6:32 am

happy haunting

6:32 am

boo

6:32 am

And the same to you, lideola!

6:32 am

Later lideola, have a good one.

6:33 am

Oh, before she comes on, I just wanted to remind everyone that tomorrow is AnnieBrook's birthday, and it would warm the little cockles of her heart if we all remembered!

6:34 am

Tee-hee...

6:34 am

***having completed itty bitty grid, Lori ponders ways to distract everyone***

6:34 am

Congrats Wonder Woman!

6:34 am

( I won't be here red...I will be dashing off to london long by now :o( so ifyou can pass on my wishes??? )

6:34 am

<POMPOM TOSS> for lori....

6:34 am

i have some friends that are teachers. from the amount of work they do outside school hours on prep and marking and the constant increase in class sizes, they get a bit of a raw deal. then there is the issue of lawsuits. they walk on eggshells all the time because all it takes is an accusation of touching a student to put them on administrative leave. i'd say a good bit of the trouble lies within families where parenting is left to the tv and the general tone of the culture. life is getting meaner and it isn't all the teacher's fault.

6:35 am

I most definitely will, kattie. I will not forget such sentiment.

gosh darn it i got booted

6:36 am

Why is it that cockles in ones heart sounds like surgery is required..... :-)

and i lost my pic :(

6:36 am

i have family that are teachers too bonkler.... and i agree with the issues you raise...but... that does not take away from issues that they can deal with..that they aren't

I wonder if hearts actually HAVE cockles

6:37 am

LOL... Lor... There is another phrase that always catches me up short: curb cravings with a diet product... I have, never, ever, craved a curb in my entire life...

6:37 am

Me too esprit. g'd morning to ya'. :-)

never heard "he had to have a triple cockle bypass"

6:37 am

the heart is a mussel...so it must have cockles...cockles and musseels alie alie ho.

lol

6:38 am

OH Dear! I can't stay quiet on this subject. The school system has removed the parental rights and involvements. They've taken over teaching our kids more than their academics. Then they remove the teachers capabilities for any sort of discipline and control in the classroom. What do they expect.

good one bonk

6:38 am

LOL... EJ... your wit is right on target this morning~!

my butt hurts i got booted

6:38 am

Better mussels than clams...... :-)

6:38 am

honestly I think alot of the problems going on in ontario schools anyway are the teachers that are teaching now..were raised with no mandatory curriculumn of the late 70's early 80's. My son had a teacher that honestly could not string together a sentence without using "um" and like" before every other word

6:38 am

LOL, bonkler... sooooo good!

And dont forget that precious little George NEVER EVER EVER did anything wrong in class

6:39 am

curbs don't taste very good red..especially when you trip over them and land flat on your face

6:39 am

My daughter can't teach. During the course of her day, they have lock downs, weapon checks, etc. Lovely atmosphere.

6:40 am

Parents are not parenting. We had a case here, where the bus broke down, and the Jr high students became unruly, started a fight, the driver put them off the bus, and he/she got suspended.

6:40 am

Fireworks :-)

yah ktie

6:40 am

the kids were not made accountable by their parnets or the school for their behavior in the incident. Deplorable.

6:40 am

LOL... kat, haven't done that in years! ;)

6:40 am

yeap..parents are not parenting.....that is for sure

6:41 am

but you remember...and so...you no longer crave a curb ;)

6:41 am

Yahoo for katieW!! @@@

6:41 am

<POMPOM TWIRL> for katie

6:41 am

Congrats katie!

6:41 am

LOL, kattie... you can be a stinker sometimes!

Man that hot toddy im drinking is blah

6:41 am

ty off to bed again now, can't shake sprite's cold. see you all tomorrow ;-)

6:42 am

If one of MY kids is fighting on the bus, how can i blame the driver? When they get home, it will indeed be dealt with

6:42 am

are u suggesting red..that I smell.... I just scrubbed down with dove...

6:42 am

sleep tight katie.

6:42 am

***I did notice an aroma, but didn't want to hurt carlee's feelings*** :)

6:43 am

Last year when school was closed due to a snow storm, my daughter had to try and locate 30 parents to let them know that their child was being dismissed at 11 am and could not be ion school grounds after 11:30. What are you supposed to do w/that?

6:43 am

Oh, no. Another eerie similarity... all I have used for decades is Dove... my daughter calls me a walking advertisement for it! Lori is sooooo diplomatic!

Gramma where do the kids go if the rentals are working?

6:43 am

***my humility is my strength....*** :-)

6:44 am

Oh and any child caught touching the snow would be suspended. Right??

6:44 am

Gramma, that is no small task. A phone tree works, but only if everyone does their part.

6:44 am

* whistling * and ignoring lori... I smell lovely..it must be lori..maybe an old tuna under her chair?

6:44 am

That's the issue isn't it. Where do they go?

6:44 am

carlee said a word, carlee said a word..... to the box!

6:45 am

carlee says a word..EVERY day... I drop one in chat..somewhere...every day...

gods did i fear 'when your father gets home' that sentence is enough to make you go 'im in the crapper;

6:45 am

i ride public transit every day and i am stuck with a busload of high school kids. the youth culture has change drastically. court dates and arrests are signs of social achievement. violence is glorified, planned and routine among both genders. it isn't just the teachers, it is a cultural problem and mandated curicula hasn't done a damn thing to fix it. in fact the harris innovation of hamstringing the teachers to the three 'r's has left whole segments of the school population out to twist in the wind. it works fine for the bulk of average kids but abandons the under and over achievers. ain't no perfect system but the problems run deep and wide.

6:45 am

*Dashes to post to unearth WORD*

6:45 am

Off for coffee BBL

6:45 am

***I'm telling, if you don't go to the box...***

6:46 am

Later gramma!

I seem to be naked at my end do i have an icon

6:46 am

:-P~~~~~~~~~~ make me lori <giggle.

6:46 am

Yes, Lady... your pentagram is intact.

6:46 am

yes herrin... your 5 pointed star is up...

dang i am naked at mmy end

6:47 am

There's an image we'll not dwell upon.

6:47 am

carlee, if you don't go, I'll start typing entries from your diary in to chat )you know, the one hidden under your mattress)

HI Haz and FYI im in winter pjs

6:48 am

i agree bonkler.... there are problems...but... when you look at our school system now compared to what was taught in the early 80's...at least the kids are leanring to spell instead of that free form spelling doesn't count it is all about creativity....

6:48 am

morning, all. phantom: intuit

6:48 am

LOLOL Haz. Yah, i could have done without that. G'd morning!

6:48 am

there's a t-shirt that will get you a funny look or two..."i babble naked".

6:48 am

yea yea... and MY life is just SO bloody exciting right now lori....hahaha

6:48 am

* learning* even..oops

6:48 am

Bonkler, sad but true. G'd morning Angel!!!

6:48 am

Hello Lori. I'm not really here. I'm in stealth mode.

Ha ha Bonkler. I just made my b.f whince with the drink smell

6:49 am

I don't know about the 80s, but I went through elementary school in the nineties, read by grade primary because of my parents. One of my younger brothers (on dad's side) is nearly seven and can't read or spell for beans....isn't expected to try either, particularly not by his teachers.

6:49 am

***Dear diary, today i drank coffee, then george Clooney came in wearing a "I Babble naked t-shirt and.....***

6:49 am

a stealthy haz....

6:50 am

Didn't you know that George has escaped?

6:50 am

Giggling breaks through stealth mode.

6:50 am

G'd morning my love!

6:50 am

Then I shall not say good morning to a stealth Haz.

6:50 am

ugh..george clooney... you've got someone else's diary... I can't stand the man...

6:50 am

Snort! I'm not here either.

6:50 am

Aha, Jacula has been lurking as well.

6:51 am

Has anyone checked carlee's sanity recently?

6:51 am

well i finished with school in 79 and there was no such thing as free form spelling. and from my experience in university and working with folks from two universities the literacy level is not improving. some of the biggest mandatory first year classes are remedial grammar and spelling.

6:51 am

not here neither, and leaving for work *poof*

6:51 am

Uniquity also can verify that 32, at 12 years old, cannot write cursive, and has not been and still is not expected to by teachers, now in Jr High.

6:51 am

32 = #2

6:51 am

it left... about a month ago haz...

6:52 am

His penmanship is horrendous.

6:52 am

G'd morning not here Jacula!

6:52 am

NO, it did not, kattie.

6:52 am

It's the only explanation, carlee.

I am 30 yes my spelling sucks its just i dont retain words in my head. But i did get taught the proper their there and they're stuff

6:52 am

The school and I have battled over this. they say it doesn't matter. Lovely.

6:52 am

Haz gets carleekat's helping of Clooney.

Done

6:52 am

the teachers don't teach cursive... I taught my kids....my son was never taught..and all projects starting in grade 3 the kids are expected to submit in typewritten form else they receive an incomplete

6:53 am

Thank you, Scarlet.

6:53 am

:) Haz.

6:53 am

It's outrageous, the lowered expectations in our schools.

6:53 am

:D

6:53 am

Here in NS, worst is we rank last in the country, so imagine how low the expectations are.....

6:54 am

In university I can't submit anything non-electronically. Most people don't even write out their notes...penmanship is unnecessary, apparently. The lack of reading bothers me much mroe though...reading is pretty basic. Even an attempt would be good.

6:54 am

now there's a point. kids shouldn't be allowed to use computers for most class work until they are well into high school. i work with people that need calculators to do rudimentary addition and subtraction.

I am off

6:55 am

my girlfriend's son was in engineering school the first year CANADIAN students struggled to just pass the math courses...the european kids all said " we covered this in grade 10, grade 11...this is all review for us "

I dont think you should be allowed a calculator until basic math is learned

6:55 am

Haz - don't say it! LOL

6:55 am

I agree 100% Bonkler!

Ha Ha. Yes i am off and going :p

6:55 am

oh..heck... they want calculators in grade 1, I JUST bought my son a calculator in grade 9 and every year i faught with the teachers...

6:55 am

'Bye, herin. Sleep well.

6:56 am

Elementary 'puter usage, is a sea of math blaster. they can't read, but they can use a mouse.....

6:56 am

I wasn't allowed a calculator by my father...I see no purpose for them. I understand the troubles that some people have with math, but I nearly always figure out basic math before the other person can type in the numbers!

6:56 am

so math became my subject along with cursive...they absolutely refused to teach my son math.... 2 days a week i HAD to go to school and take my son to resource for math

6:56 am

G'night Herin

Once i finish the hot toddy i should sleep like the dead. General Shermans army marching up the street shouldn't be able to wake me.

6:56 am

Garlands to Haz for her amazing restraint and dignified self-control.

6:57 am

Good morning, Jacula!

Carlee best of wishes to you and yours too.

6:57 am

'Bye Lady.

6:57 am

***Lori isn't falling for haz's facade of couth. She's as wild as the rest of us....*** :-)

6:57 am

good nite herin... sweet dreams

6:57 am

Sitting on hands.

6:57 am

Good morning, Scarlet.

6:57 am

I'm not here, you know.

Night Haz feel free to be a smarty pants now. Hugs

6:58 am

Scarlet hasn't been paying attention obviously.

6:58 am

Oh, but your icon is sooooooo nice, Jacula! Must be a quark....

6:58 am

i was in 11th grade, the very first year that calculators were allowed in a math class. my folks bought me a texas instruments calculator the size of a brick that cost over $100. of course i promptly disassembled it. i completed the yeardoing the figures on paper and finished near the top of the class. i never did tell the folks about all the bits of calculator in my locker.

6:58 am

LOLOL Bonkler. Good for you, minus the $100 demolition....

6:59 am

hehehhe... now that is funny bonkler...

6:59 am

A mixed message there from herinfernal......

6:59 am

( probably learned way more about electronics then anyone else too )

6:59 am

Er, I noticed.

7:00 am

In 1970's money, a hundred clams was a lot of coin!

7:00 am

Hands... sit back upon, Haz.;)

7:00 am

Sitting.

7:00 am

That would not be a surprise then, Haz

7:00 am

Good morning Zen!

7:00 am

Good girl.

7:00 am

***Rumble?*** :-)

7:00 am

Good morning, Zenmed.

7:00 am

(Temporary suspension of hand sitting for the purposes of greetings)

7:01 am

G'd morning Zen

7:01 am

And you too

7:01 am

morning zen

7:01 am

LOL, at Haz. Hello, Zen.

7:01 am

that was when calculators were under glass like cameras in the old eatons store. my dad would have skinned me if he found out.

7:02 am

Other than rudimentary household math, I am a certifiable math moron.

7:02 am

I can only the punishment imagine bonkler. I remember those days.

7:02 am

Hi too to scarlet lori jac & carl

7:02 am

yeap..if happened today..children's aid would be on your doorstep

7:03 am

Basic math, that's it, that's all i got. Angles, degrees, is all blah, blah, blah to me. Always was. But, I can do the basics quite well

7:03 am

haz

7:03 am

Zen.

7:03 am

I have a hundered dollar calculator that is on its way currently to its third or fourth owner...I didn't really use it, so found someone with more advanced math requirements.

7:03 am

childrens aid should have been on our door step then. we were the poster family for ptsd.

7:04 am

Sorry, slight mistake there...

7:04 am

Right... with cooking, simple, basic math is handy... balancing the checkbook, easy stuff... I didn't even learn simple algebra until I was in my early 50s.

7:04 am

#2, the 12 year old, has to actually "think" about the answer to multiplication sometimes. Another battle I had with school. They "reviewed" the tables in grade 6. Blew my mind.

7:04 am

Yeah, but Lori...You never hid that with telling me to use a calculator or find the answer somewhere else. You found someone to help me, or I did it myself.

7:04 am

#3 and 4 can do all kinds of math though, thanks to me :)

7:05 am

well said...

7:05 am

Credit where it's due #1. You help them out where i cannot. I was no use to you either in that regard, but tried to intervene other ways, with people that actually taught it correctly to you.

7:06 am

Haz, did you see the report from the Univ. of Munich where they say that being in regular contact with a dog causes a 29-fold increase in the risk of women developing breast cancer ?

7:06 am

Exactly - one of my many parents or relatives could explain it, and you made that happen.

7:06 am

They certainly don't get it in school. "teacher says we don't need to know". I loathe that statement

7:06 am

Zen - what??

7:07 am

Zen, that sounds like junk science 101 numbers.....

7:07 am

Yes, I did, Zen. It was very interesting but I'll wait for the report to come out with the opposite conclusions.

7:07 am

ok all...am off...enjoy the day... the whirlwind begins..now... catch you all friday

7:07 am

'Bye, carlee.

7:07 am

Have the best that you can make it, kattie. Be tough, dear. *Hugs*

7:08 am

Take care carlee, be safe. ***halloween hugs***

7:08 am

Bye carlee.

7:09 am

Does your local vet have a comment on that report?

7:09 am

***and a hush falls over the room, as carlee departs*** :)

7:09 am

LOLOL I glanced down and saw that as "vocal vet". :-)

7:09 am

I don't know whether he saw it or not. I'll have to run the theory past him, the paper is still here.

7:10 am

Any comment on that report probably contains the words relating to male bovine faecal matter.

7:10 am

He's a vocal vet when farmers ask ' Will he be long?' 'Tell them I'm driving a car, not a helicopter!'

7:10 am

***To err is human, to forgive bovine***

7:11 am

*groan*

7:11 am

LOL! That's what P says when he's delivering. Substitute 'wagon/lorry' for car.

7:11 am

LOL, Lori.

7:11 am

The report Zen is talking about claims that the Mouse Mammary Tumour Virus may be harboured by and transferred to humans by dogs.

7:12 am

Why male, Jacula - are you a misandrist?

7:12 am

The same farmers who urge speed of vet arrival are always the slowest to pay their bills. Make a theory out of that!

7:12 am

Zen - no, but the expression is.;)

7:13 am

Then why use it

7:13 am

Or rather the expression refers to the male of the species.

7:14 am

Well, I am off to seek the elusive glow-sticks. I had a stash here in this chaos, but i cannot find them. ***no comments from #1 on this***

7:14 am

Okay - I'll leave out tommyrot and just say what a load of old rubbish, Zen. Or is that ageist?

7:15 am

Y'all take care, and if i don't pop back in have 'yerselves a great day!

7:15 am

Tommyrot - perhaps would offend veterans. And hogwash won't go down well with pigs.

7:15 am

Haz - I seem to remember that being mentioned in the James Herriot books.

7:16 am

(The hurry uppers and slow payers, I meant.)

7:16 am

I had tommyrot once. Nasty business.

7:16 am

LOL, Dachef. Hello. Long time no see.

7:16 am

It's ages since I read the Herriot books. I always loved the mistake made by a receptionist in rendering swine erisypalis as Smiling Harry Syphilis.

7:17 am

And yes, the slow payment people have always been with us.

7:17 am

Far be it for a youngster like me to comment on agism, jacula!

7:17 am

Hello Dachef, nice to see you!

7:18 am

Don't let him get away with that, Jacula. He's got grey hair and everything.

7:18 am

And I missed saying bye to Lori!

7:19 am

Must be a GOG then, Haz. *grins*

7:19 am

Yes, but I dyed it grey specially to enter the George Clooney look-a-like competition

7:19 am

He's a George wannabe.

7:19 am

Snorts with laughter.

7:20 am

any trolls about today? I have a massive hangover and could do with feeling socially superior for a bit.

7:20 am

Dachef - we will leave if you mention that word again.

7:20 am

None today - but Dachef, take your place in line, I'm the smarty pants one today.

7:20 am

No, just a George lok-a-like, Haz

7:21 am

Jac- the "H" word?

7:21 am

No, the 't' word, Dachef.

7:21 am

ahhhhhhhh, sorry.

7:22 am

Some of us are still suffering post traumatic stress over the whole thing. Have you put in your compensation claim yet, Jacula?

7:22 am

Haz - is a smarty pants higher ranking than a smartarse? MrP bestowed the former title upon me. *grins*

7:23 am

Still filling the form in, Haz. Difficult, since my hands are still shaking.

7:23 am

Gosh, I don't know. Does the bestower of the title have anything to do with the rank?

7:24 am

And the tic - still twitching?

7:24 am

N

7:24 am

ot

7:24 am

too

7:24 am

b

7:25 am

ad

7:25 am

now, Haz.

7:25 am

LOL - You two need to start a comedy club

7:25 am

That's good. The doctor says my delusions may wear off, but not before I get my claim.

7:26 am

Any chance of you being delusional enough to think that my ironing pile is yours?

7:26 am

It's selective delusion disorder.

7:27 am

Hmm... thought it might be.

7:27 am

A bit like the selective hearing loss I note in my husband and children.

7:28 am

That'll be the washing the dishes deafness etc.

7:29 am

Yes, and the Tidy Up Your Room one. One daughter is home for a week from university. Her idea of unpacking is to empty the contents of the case over the floor.

7:30 am

if you liove on your own, you can say "sod the dishes". However, they pong after a few days.

7:30 am

Speaking of forms, have you ever had to fill in one for Attendance Allowance? Three of us spent hours a couple of years ago trying to figure it out. The best bit was 'List your medication......... Please do not attach your medication to this form.'

7:30 am

Well, Haz., yove seen my daughter's room. It looks no different even though she did take lots off stuff off with her to Uni.

7:31 am

Haz - Mum and I filled one of those in. I don't remember seeing that bit though.

7:31 am

Dachef - paper plates etc. might be the answer. Mind you, you've got to wash them to recycle them.

7:32 am

Maybe it's a Northern Ireland version for the bewildered.

7:32 am

Oh, LOL, Haz. Must remember to tell my Mum about that.

7:33 am

in my restaurant I ma the cleanest man on the planet - at home I'm the untidiest man on the planet.

7:33 am

You just know that in the previous version people sent in their tablets, painstakingly sellotaped on.

7:34 am

But is it clean, Dachef? A place can be clean and untidy. It's when it's dirty and untidy that problems start and Kim and Aggie start showing up.

7:34 am

lol. On 'phone to Mum now.

7:35 am

Off 'phone - her doorbell rang also.

7:35 am

At least you know where her priorities lie.

7:35 am

She's going to dig our copy of the old form out.

7:36 am

It was the 'freezer man' apparently.

7:36 am

Oh, the freezer man. The iceman cometh.

7:36 am

nato doesn't work? Bah.

7:37 am

I'd better leave my final 25 words until later... I can hear Kim & Aggie advancing up my path.

7:37 am

Will THEY do your ironing?

7:37 am

Haz - He got there before you... it says 'Eissman' on his van.

7:37 am

Morning all.

7:38 am

Good Morning All

7:38 am

How is the grid, does not look too inviting

7:38 am

Brilliant, Jacula! See you later and good morning to Frances and peri.

7:38 am

Hi & 'Bye, Frances. No, don't sniff your armpits. Your deodorant's working. I just have to go.

7:38 am

It's a dreadful grid, peri. Good morning

7:39 am

Bye Jac LOL

7:39 am

The grid is .... okay. Lots of normalish words, a few headscratchers.

7:39 am

Hi and 'bye, peri.

7:40 am

well, I have found the 11 normal words :-)

7:41 am

Now move on to normalish.

hi all! what a dreadful grid!

7:42 am

hi Owl

7:42 am

, it is indeed

7:42 am

Agreed, TO. I'm going to the list with 16 left.

7:42 am

Good morning TO. We don't talk about dreadful, we use happy words like 'challenging' and 'vocabulary stretching'.

7:43 am

.......or well hidden.

7:44 am

and "arcane" and "ridiculous" ;-)

7:44 am

hello everyone!

7:44 am

No, no, inge, you're veering away from the positive!

7:44 am

Hello Annie!

: )

7:45 am

trying to stay on target, Haz ;-)

7:45 am

7:45 am

Hi Haz, seen George lately?

7:45 am

hi inge2

weel, i thinnk i will go let vocabulary stretching go until lunchtime. happy babbling. and hi annie!

7:46 am

Sad news, Annie. He has escaped from the cupboard under the stairs.

7:46 am

And the police are no help at all. They just laugh at me.

7:46 am

by TO, lol

7:46 am

He will be back when he gets hungry.

7:46 am

Bye TO!

7:47 am

hi Owl

7:47 am

I'll live in hope should I die in despair.

7:47 am

...missed a few babblets...

7:47 am

How very Jane Austen, Haz

7:48 am

My mother often said that - don't know its origins.

7:49 am

I like it...will try to use it today

7:49 am

Anyway, lunch time, so I'd better get some food prepared. Bye for now!

7:49 am

by Haz, later

7:49 am

*bye

7:50 am

bon appetit, Haz. Eat in hope.

7:50 am

It's a good expression - to be applied to doing babble, I reckon as well as all other life situations!

7:50 am

Byeeee!

7:53 am

ok, more postive now. The grid is not really so bad, I'm just royally blind today.

7:54 am

8:17 am

Weather report: Partly sunny with a chance of fish.

8:17 am

must go also, happy halloween all!

8:17 am

you too, inge!

8:18 am

Sorry, EvaN... when you deserve it, they have to be slimy and coooooooooollllllllldddddddddd.

8:18 am

Bye, Inge2, and have a great day!

8:18 am

The weathergirls sang raining men - preferable to raining fish I think.

8:18 am

Frances, may I please just have water from the sky?

8:18 am

awww, but im trying to save money, and sushi would mean free lunch!

8:19 am

There is no free lunch... Theodore Roosevelt.

8:20 am

there is for my BF -- hes out of work right now, and im paying for everything. :/

8:21 am

Oh, bummer, Eva. There seems to be so much of that right now...

8:22 am

yeah, hes been getting the run-around from a few companies and it seems to take people weeks, if not MONTHS to actually hire someone...

8:22 am

What profession is he seeking employment in for placement?

8:23 am

Has he tried Craig's List for your area?

8:23 am

Or, Monster dot com?

8:24 am

well, he was a Bio and Anthro major back in college... i know he is interested in GIS Mapping and in survey-type work, but i think at this point, he will take just about anything with a decent paycheck... hes been looking everywhere.... putting in resumes, hearing back from some, getting interviews, but despite telling him they love him, no one is actually HIRING him....

8:24 am

oh, we have a Babbler in the grid today--Vi**** :-D

8:25 am

Oh, THAT waltz... it can be very disheartening.

8:25 am

Oh, fab clue, Une! Got that one right away. :))

8:25 am

Yep, Une! Inge2 clued it that way just as I came back to finish.

8:25 am

sending positive employment vibes your way, eva!

8:25 am

Ditto!

8:26 am

sorry--didn't see Inge's earlier clue . . .

8:26 am

yeah. hes keeping up good spirits and being EXTREMELY helpful with the housework while hes home (without me even having to ask!) but its frustrating... he did apply yesterday for unemployment, so hopefully that will help a little

8:26 am

thanks Une!

8:26 am

Yes, good vibes, Eva. Job hunting bites. Hope he lands a good one sooner rather than later.

8:27 am

At least he isn't a lump who expects you do to everything, Eva... too much of that is happening, too.

8:27 am

Don't be sorry, Une... it's a good clue for everyone~

8:27 am

Since when is "yike" not a word?

8:27 am

yeah. hes a good guy. just having tough luck right now.

8:27 am

i thought the same thing, judi!

8:28 am

I thought the same thing, Judi... but I guess it has to have an S on the end!

8:28 am

doesnt it have to be "yikes" ?

8:28 am

And... "kitch".

8:28 am

Great minds in the Babble world!\

8:28 am

kitsch

8:28 am

kitsch, Judi.

8:28 am

ok, so help with my last 6? i have NA6 x2, OU6, TO6, and Vi6...

8:28 am

clue for the ou6,24 please

8:28 am

(i tried it too! lOL)

8:28 am

Me three.

8:28 am

OU6 = to perform better onstage

8:28 am

in 6

8:29 am

To be a better performer

8:29 am

thanks jen!

8:29 am

yw :o)

8:29 am

in6/21 whole, of a piece

8:29 am

Think that's two words, but looks like we're in bizzarro babble today.

8:29 am

Totally meaningless protest: I hate N words.

8:30 am

Good morning, Jen34!

8:30 am

i always thought of that as 2 words, but i have seen it as one...

8:30 am

The two-word usage is incorrect, Eva.

8:30 am

thanks Eva

8:30 am

morning scarlet, how are you?

8:31 am

YW rnp

8:31 am

Wonderful, Jen! And, thee?

Good start to the day, even if it is just a nibble...

8:33 am

yes, definitely anxious for some bigger grids!

8:33 am

i have a sore throat

8:33 am

We must be very careful about what we are wishing... we'll get it... in spades! LOL

8:33 am

8:35 am

I have Good Earth Chai... sooooooo good!

8:35 am

husband is sleeping . . . bless his heart, he's been pulling shifts at two jobs and exhausted!

8:35 am

Oh, Jen... a hard-working man is worth his weight in gasoline! LOL

8:36 am

ai 5,14?

8:36 am

:-D

8:36 am

Une... I read that: stewing as we speak... I thought, "HUH?"

can someone clue the first na4? going nuts here

8:36 am

lol . . . yeah, I think I'll keep him . . .

8:36 am

Ai5 sounds like a letter for the alphabet

NA + pick ** apple

8:39 am

Hello all

8:39 am

elara, thanks so much! we're still on a high! what chorus do you sing with?

8:39 am

As weird as this grid is, there's no "etna". Hi, Peri!

8:39 am

Scarlet,, hope you are happy, I am totally addicted to Fowl Words

8:39 am

elara6, my daughter's applied to grad school in your neck of the woods (for a SECOND Master's)

8:40 am

morning, peri!

8:40 am

lol, judi, i know . . . i tried etna first thing and was disappointed . . .

8:40 am

County Connection in Region 17 (Michigan). We're mid-size and not terribly competition focused, but we have fun. :)

8:41 am

Very deceptive puzzle today. Still lamenting that I can't quite make "caution".

8:41 am

Uneaixoise, which school? I work at UM. :)

8:41 am

ah, good region! I'm going to check out your chorus' website today. I have some good friends who sing with Pride of Toledo. :o)

8:42 am

Library Science at UM

At first glance, this appears to be one of those really nasty little grids. Is that accurate?

9:33 am

Tis, gwen.

9:33 am

Good thing I have the day off, then. LOL

9:34 am

anyone have a clue for ac45....the SECOND one please?

9:34 am

Scarlet.....helloooooooooooooo

9:34 am

AC+ **ke a break from working so hard, Flask!

9:34 am

i don't like this grid gwen

9:34 am

A pet chicken? hmmmm

9:34 am

9:35 am

Oh, it's not horrible... just tricky enough to keep us honest... LOL

9:35 am

9:35 am

We need tricks to keep us honest??

9:35 am

Yes, dear?

9:35 am

9:37 am

So glad you've cleaned up your act, mark.

9:38 am

9:38 am

Eva... think of an eye-related word for the ot4/5

9:39 am

And the word we use when we are hurt...

9:39 am

Yep! :-)

9:39 am

i think its ear related, not eye related?

You are so right, lideola... seven lashes with the OED for me!

12:01 pm

hi all - short lunch break here...

12:02 pm

12:02 pm

hi mont!

12:02 pm

congrats!

12:02 pm

yay triple - congrats !

12:03 pm

12:03 pm

my icon is the fleurdelysée triple...

12:03 pm

mom - the na 4 is another weird one - na+same letters reversed...

12:03 pm

i like your icon! i wish i were home!

12:03 pm

only na i got is a nickname for gramma...

12:03 pm

NA4 = indian bread NA4 = granny

12:03 pm

ty - again

12:04 pm

na 6- na + vowel + scratch that i***

12:04 pm

still in houston triple ??

12:05 pm

sadly, yes...ick...the food here pales in comparison to back home. eating is important for louisianians.

12:05 pm

i just make my own gumbo...

12:05 pm

and etouffee...

12:05 pm

same here triple - any idea when you'll be able to move back ... or are you ?

12:06 pm

dont know what etouffée is ??

12:06 pm

maybe in 3 years. i just want to go home so badly!

12:07 pm

etouffee - it is a wonderful sauce served over rice. usually made with shrimp or crawfish. first, i start with a roux (that may be a new one too) and then add the celery, bell pepper, onion, then the other stuff. it is superb.

12:07 pm

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89tou ff%C3%A9e

12:08 pm

am taking the address down - tx triple

12:09 pm

it might make you hungry! i think i may go get some lunch now...but that's an example of the cooking we do...

12:09 pm

always wondered -- whats the main difference between gumbo + etouffee?

12:09 pm

sounds great !!

12:09 pm

does anybody need any clues before i go to lunch?

12:10 pm

too many left triple but tx anyway - bon appétit !

12:11 pm

gumbo has a darker roux...etouffees have a lighter one. the darker the roux, the richer the flavor.

12:12 pm

1st and 2nd na4. Any help?

12:12 pm

gumbo is also more creole in origin - they thicken theirs up with okra as well. cajuns use more meat products as they are typically hunters...

12:12 pm

indian bread + granny

12:12 pm

neat

12:12 pm

KC - check eva's clues at 12 03

3:18 pm

Hi Helen

3:18 pm

yay gwen!!!

3:19 pm

hi helen

hiya mva, uni, gwen all

a startling bonus video today LOL

pock marks on the face was my last word. i *never* see that one!

gwen - startling as in scary?

no, startling as in unusual information conveyed

ok, good then, thanks

helen, you are not a fan of scary movies i take it

i no likeee the scareeee

stay indorrs tonight, then!!

3:22 pm

going now, thanks for your help, seeyou at the flip tomorrow!

3:22 pm

This is bad! I just came over to look in case it was a short one. . . and I have a kink in my neck, but I got the fireworks. So much for the show I was going to watch before time for Jeopardy 8-)

no maam, that's an understatement - spent the majority of 'the exorcist' sitting in the lobby, while my friends were all in the show, soon there was a group of up chickens, we had a great time, i'll never forget that

bye mva

yay for erilar !!!!!!!!!!!!!

chow all, have to get ready for the big night hee hee *poof*

bye gwen

3:24 pm

I will never quite forget my first really scary one. My brother and I took turns peeking over the seat back at Ghost of Frankenstein. And it was REALLY scary walking the few blocks home from the theater!!

3:24 pm

By the way, that was when it was a new movie 8-)

lol erilar, i made my pomeranian go with me into the basement for months after seeing silnce of the lambs

3:25 pm

hello :)

3:26 pm

Cant see a little pomeranian being much help lol

hiya liz

3:26 pm

ok I give up, na 6/18 please

3:26 pm

We had a bigger dog back then, but he didn't go to the movie with us. I seem to remember being a bit leery of the outdoors after dark for a while 9-)

pomeranians are loyal, fearless & have a very annoying bark, tyvm!

3:27 pm

actually second thoughts - I bet he's more protective than my soppy labrador :)

3:27 pm

Helen I was only joking honest! My Nan had pommies and they were all fearless and gorgeous

3:27 pm

My current dog, a Minischnauz, is good at making brave sounds--as long as it

3:28 pm

s not a thunderstorm!

3:28 pm

my lab is so dim I think he'd welcome a 'bad guy' into the house with a wagging tail

3:28 pm

That was funny! I hit return rather than apostrophe!

hi peeps

3:28 pm

lol Erilar

3:28 pm

Hi Tyger

Poms are fearless, but it's more of a yip than a bark.

Like jilli, I had Danes. *Nothing* like a Dane for protection! :)

i know liz, i was being silly

3:29 pm

Labs tend to be friendly in general in my experience.

3:29 pm

:) *hugz*

yes, a dog the size of a horse is bound to scare the bad guys

Labs are rarely protective, but they're great dogs all the same

3:30 pm

Tyger I had two cockers before my lab and they were dab hands at seeing off people I didn;t want at the house :) Bless them!

true, yips for sure

3:30 pm

Friendliest dog in our neighbor is a Newfie 8-)

yup, HK, most people don't know that Danes are usually friendly

3:30 pm

Tyger - he is adorable (just not very selective!)

of course, that's until somebody acts threatening

most of the hunting dogs are friendly. Newfies were bred up from hunting dogs, I believe, but they were bred for rescue

Liz, I really like labs (who doesn't? only a dog-hater)

As for Newfs, you wouldn't want a rescue dog that wasn't very friendly and outgoing!

3:32 pm

Tyger he's a loveable rogue

a rogue? he's a "bad boy"?

3:33 pm

Last year at Crufts I watched a Nefie doing heelwork to music! It was soooo majestic

1/2 way - going to watch for the kiddies now

see you all later

later, HK

3:33 pm

LOL Tyger he's a complete nutter but we all love him to bits

3:33 pm

bye Helen

oh, wow, Liz, I'd love to have seen that

3:34 pm

It was great Tyger - it was a display group with beeds ranging from a Chiuhuahua to the Newfie

I'm sooo impressed with the Landseers. I've seen just one in person, to get my hands on. The Newf wasn't a Landseer, was it?

3:35 pm

No it was a black

most of them are

3:35 pm

We're thinking of getting a new pup next year (just lost our last cocker girl) but we cant agree on what breed to go for

oh? if you go to shows, you've been exposed to lots of breeds

3:36 pm

I think thats the problem LOL

other than companionship, is there anything else you want of your dog?

3:37 pm

My husband wants another Cocker, my kids want a 2nd labrador and I am thinking I'd like a border collie

3:37 pm

I do agility with my lab so thats why I'm leaning towards a collie

you do know that they REQUIRE a lot of time and attention?

3:38 pm

hi all.is everyone ignoring you meliae?na6/18 na and what a rabbit lives in h****

3:38 pm

Yes, three of my friends have them and I dog sit when they are on holidays

they certainly can shine in agility, but it's like having a 5 year old underfoot all the timme

okay, then, you know what you'd be letting yourself in for

maybe your family doesn't want such a demanding pet?

3:39 pm

Well, thats kind of what I like :) I do all the training, caring, grooming, feeding etc of all the dogs we have ever owned. My lab goes to agility and obedience class twice a week with me too

we weren't meaning to ignore anyone, lilli. but when doggy people get onto that subject, everything else flies out the window [blush]

3:40 pm

I dunno Tyger. My husband just desperately misses our cockers (dont we all?) and my kids just love rough housing with the lab - hes such a softy

3:40 pm

we had a border collie from a rescue centre and had to have her put down as she went mad and started attacking other dogs and our other dog wouldn't go anywhere near her!

sounds to me like you have a fair argument on your side, liz

3:40 pm

Meliae, Lilli - sorry too :(

3:41 pm

aw thats awful :(

3:41 pm

Me too Tyger ;-)

3:41 pm

it's ok, i've had dogs all my life aswell,so know what its like!i wasn't being mean!

3:41 pm

And now the cats are after my attention! Never get 5 minutes peace as it is lol

lilli, dogs that are really smart can go crazy, just like people. Heaven only knows what kind of home the dog had before you

Liz, if your family really wants just a nice, "soft" pet, you may lose the argument

3:43 pm

With five cuddly lap-cats and a labrador I think they already have that :)

3:43 pm

she had been rehomed a few times apparently and just before we had got her she had had some pups and then kicked out, but apparently the pups wouldn't have survived without her as they were too young without her!1

3:43 pm

Aw Lilli :(

oh, man, what a rotten existence that poor dog had

3:44 pm

One of the collies I look after sometimes is a rescue. He was beaten about the head as a puppy and now has terrible balance

well, good luck to you, then, liz :)

3:44 pm

we tried to rehome her on a farm but they said the best thing would be to put her down.it was a very hard decision

3:45 pm

Thats heartbreaking isn't it Lilli. I really feel for you

my foundation bitch, champion-sired, had been hit in the head (who knows how many times) and kept chained in the basement before I got heer

3:45 pm

my brother had a cocker spaniel and they need alot of attention don't they liz?

Lilli, you did the best thing for her. She needed the Rainbow Bridge

3:45 pm

Some people are just downright dreadful

evening all, can anyone clue me for the ou 6 pls and ty, can't figure it out

3:46 pm

Yes they do Lilli, especially in the grooming department! It used to take me 4 hours to completely hand strip and groom my black cocker

3:46 pm

Hi Sheryl

3:46 pm

oh, tiger, thats terrible,some people should never be allowed to have pets

Peaches had a dent in her skull, and sometimes had (VERY) brief seizures. She was a genius dog

3:46 pm

hi sheryl

hey sheryl

the ty is a little kid

3:47 pm

can i have some clues for ANY of the sixes please

I haven't got the ou6 yet

3:47 pm

I dont have the ou yet, sorry

3:47 pm

Sheryl, ou6 is what Tom Hanks does to Adam Sandler

hey guys

Mark, I'm not a movie-goer, so that clue means zilch to me

3:48 pm

Ah ha! Thank you Mark :)

3:48 pm

when i get pets i always get them from rehoming centres now and i usually get the worse looking one going which can cause alot of problems and cost alot of money but i can't help myself. who is going to have them otherwise

3:48 pm

Tyger ou6 - to best someone at the job that Tom Hanks does

you're a softie, lilli. That's a good thing for the dogs

3:48 pm

I dont have a rescue centre near me here Lilli

[light dawns] :D thx

3:49 pm

But I took my golden cocker on knowing she had horrendous health probs

3:49 pm

yw

finally got it, duh took me forever

3:49 pm

i don't have dogs anymore because i can't walk them but i do help cats

3:50 pm

lol Sheryl

3:50 pm

acuot

it's usually harder to drive a cat crazy :)

3:50 pm

oops

3:50 pm

doing the random thing in search of words I've never heard of...

3:51 pm

my father in law use to have a golden retriever who ended up living with us, he was a lovely,soft dog.i miss him

3:51 pm

I love walking my lab, At the moment he is coming with me on all my training walks - he is great for company

we understand, jeanne ;)

3:51 pm

ah Jeanne - monkeying! :)

3:51 pm

c'es la vie! I just need a better dictionary to look these oddities up!

3:51 pm

we all do it jeanne

wish I could walk a dog, now - wish I could *have* a dog now [sigh]

3:52 pm

Tyger - My Oscar would gladly welcome you with open paws :)

3:52 pm

3:52 pm

3:53 pm

i would love to have a dog again as they are mans best friend and i could do with one of those!!

3:53 pm

ditto liz!

3:53 pm

any clues on the an5,10 and an5,12 words? I'll either whack myself in the head for missing them, or say, "those are words?"

I love to visit dogs :)

3:54 pm

Which country are you in Tyger?

Mark, an5/10 is an4/5 + another vowel

I'm in the US, about 100 miles above New Orleans

so it would be hard for me to visit you, alas

3:55 pm

A bit far to visit me (or rather Oscar!) then :(

3:55 pm

Oscar's sire has just spent a year in the US

hi all - does anyone have the n form the bottom row, middle? ty

an5/12 is an4/4 + a *onsonant

3:55 pm

6:01 pm

Hi DS927,

6:01 pm

once it gets dark......generally they start coming around 7p

6:01 pm

Hi Mom

6:02 pm

hi ds927

6:02 pm

we have a set time 6-8 p.m.

6:02 pm

I live in the university area so we don't have many and it is hard to gauge just how many will come.

6:03 pm

you must spend a fortune in the us fortreats.i bought a couple of bags of sweets and still have 1 left and the otherone only went because i told them to take loads

6:04 pm

well hubby and daughters are sweet tooths so that is never a problem here..........

6:04 pm

we haven't had any for 4-5 years but I still buy candy in hopes that some will show up. This year I only bought 6 Hershey bars so it wasn't but a couple of dollars

6:04 pm

brb

6:04 pm

I spend lots of $$ and get few thank yous

6:04 pm

i came back!!

6:05 pm

HI Joanne

6:05 pm

6:05 pm

that aggravates me when they don't say thank you

6:05 pm

how difficult is it?

6:05 pm

they r so polite gotta luv em

6:05 pm

i had 5 people tonight and got one thankyou and he was about 5 and the others were older

6:05 pm

hi again jo.welcome back!

6:05 pm

mine so far said the words

6:06 pm

tyvm

6:06 pm

I was always taught to say trick or treat and thank you. I guess I'm showing my age. The only ones saying thank you are the cute ones about 3 yr old.

6:06 pm

yes

6:06 pm

my age is showing then as well. If we didn't my mom would have taken us home

6:07 pm

and I am 50

6:07 pm

my daughter has to say thankyou and please.it's manners and it doesn't take much, but alot of bairns don't have them

6:07 pm

but i had 2 girls maybe 12 13 sucking soothers and i said "" to go the mile you deserve the treat" they laughed and said ty

6:07 pm

but different culture too

6:08 pm

alot of the bairns now don't know manners but they know how to swear.it's the parents fault!

6:09 pm

they were indian and i find most of the ones born here are the rude ones

6:09 pm

i always had to say please,thankyou and excuse me please

6:09 pm

my hubby was that way when he grew up

6:10 pm

I remember the last time I went trick or treating, I was 14 and I was Mickey Mouse and my friend was Minnie Mouse and we went to this house and the elderly lady said in order to get a treat we had to sing the MIckey Mouse Song, so we did and she emptied her bowl in our bags. It was a hoot

6:11 pm

my mam and dad were quite strict and i suppose i am in a way but i like children to have good manners and be polite.it doesn't take mush!

6:11 pm

I just had some teens say thank you and even smile. Woohoo!

6:11 pm

manner seem to have gone in the garbage. It is such a shame

6:11 pm

i was 12 and went to an apt. and she said"you are to old for this and shut the door"

6:11 pm

congrats DS927, that is worth a woohoo

6:11 pm

that sounds great mom.hope you enjoyed the sweets!!

6:12 pm

oh no, that is awful

6:12 pm

aahh,that wasn't very nice jo!!

6:12 pm

oh yeah, have a gigantic sweet tooth

6:12 pm

Love that story Mom.

6:12 pm

woohoo ds927, atleast theres some nice ones around

6:12 pm

thank you DS927

morning everyone :)

6:14 pm

i don't think you are ever too old!i've never been able to take my bairn trick or treating which is a great shame,but she's dressed up in the house and gone to the neighbours.i feel like she's missed out!

6:14 pm

hi mrp

6:14 pm

a very good morning MrP :)

6:15 pm

I think babblers must just have more manners than the rest of the world. This is the nicest group.

6:16 pm

plus up here in the north, alot of people won't open the doors,especially the older people, because they are frightened,can't say i blame them with the world we live in today

6:16 pm

congrats LA

9:20 pm

down to 13 boowaaahhhaaahaaa

9:20 pm

need any clues all the way over in bermuda, muse?

9:21 pm

lol no thanks LA, going to list now, too tired to think

9:22 pm

after helping give out 200 bags of candy

9:22 pm

aw, 13 you can do it!

9:22 pm

wait, 200 bags?

9:23 pm

yep my brother, sister-in-law and I combined our efforts

9:23 pm

and my 18 month old nephew helped give them out also

9:23 pm

do you live in a gingerbread house? how do all the kids know to go there?

9:24 pm

there are 3 buildings in the complex and the children trick or treat in them

9:25 pm

the other complex I lived in had two 45 story buildings....missed giving out the candy and seeing all the kids in costumes

9:25 pm

so I went to my brother's, my building keeps everything locked up, not kid friendly at all

9:26 pm

so of course the kids invite their friends to go trick or treating; but it's great, we decorate the hallways too

9:26 pm

yeah, this was the first year we lived in a house, but i just put a bucket of candy outside because the puppy flips out every time the doorbell rings

9:26 pm

aww that's cute

9:27 pm

what's nice is that the small businesses on the avenue are getting in on the act; they give out candy to all the kids that venture in

9:28 pm

and that is in New York :)

9:28 pm

sounds fun

9:29 pm

it is....lasts from 6-8:30p.

9:30 pm

here they have trick or treating starting at 4 p.m. isn't that the most ridiculous thing you ever heard? who's even home then?

9:30 pm

lol everyone I know that tried that, the bowl was emptied in less than 20 minutes coz someone usually gets very greedy

9:30 pm

I know, usually it's for the toddlers

9:31 pm

well most of the kids in our subdivision are pretty young, there's probably only a few that went out without their parents

9:31 pm

so we still had quite a bit at the end of the night

9:31 pm

lol, you can always "spread" the wealth with your coworkers

9:32 pm

good idea, i may keep all the almond joys and whoppers though.

9:35 pm

lol, my hubby claimed the whoppers and milk duds, my son the reese's wafers and me the snickers, lol ...that leaves milky ways and nestle crunch

9:36 pm

I hope they hide them from me....tooo tempting

9:41 pm

finito

9:43 pm

grid finito?

9:43 pm

yes LA

9:44 pm

Pelinkovac Gorki makes you feel good. The most popular among bitter liqueurs, Pelinkovac Gorki, is distinguished by strong and agreeable aroma. It quickly found its way to a wide range of admirers. Due to the prevailing flavour of wormwood, well known throughout centuries as a medicinal herb, Pelinkovac Gorki has been recognised as indispensable in moments of relaxation and companionship. 31% vol. this and honey and ginger and cloves and spiced apple and lemon tea warm. Sleep like the dead

So now you do, but it still isn't in the grid lol

11:22 pm

nautic should be a word too

11:22 pm

I agree.

11:23 pm

the old man and the sea had a nautic way about himself

11:23 pm

anyway, the ky word means "a paper money, cupronickel coin, and monetary unit of Burma (Myanmar), equal to 100 pyas." Aren't you thrilled to know that?

11:50 pm

not many, but you notice the lack of glowing gold less, if the stripes are decent

11:51 pm
