don't know if i mentioned it before, but i danced at the 64 worlds fair with a group of filipino dancers

my husband is a major NY world's fair collector

12:24 am

hmm

12:25 am

we used to go around the Heinz exhibit collecting little samples of baked beans etc instead of buying lunch

i remember being able to get in for 25 cents on mondays as long as there was an adult who accompanied you. I loved GE, GM, Ford, Kodak and It's a Small World, great memories

ok. i'm off to bed. g'night ya'll.

have had the opportunity to go to Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and Curtains

12:52 am

'Night, Jess.

12:52 am

The Mark Twain play Is He Dead? was rediscovered among his papers at the UC-Berkley's Bancroft library in 2002. Apparently Twain wrote it after successfully emerging from bankruptcy but it was never staged, presumably in part due to his "roasting" a well-known French painter. The play tickled my funny bone and glad my tix not affected by strike.

12:52 am

lady i saw Legally Blonde via tv i think i twas mtv or vh1 not a bad show

12:53 am

heard dirty rotten scoundrels is supposed to be good

12:53 am

adn curtains too

12:53 am

ugh, internet shut off for a few minutes again

12:53 am

jes! did you find that last word?

it was awful here during the strike, (especially since we had so many tourists in town for the thanksgiving weekend) I felt really bad for the kids. Scoundrels was hysterical

curtains was ok, one of funniest i've seen is "spelling bee" very clever

12:54 am

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels was very good but my niece tells me it was far superior when Norbert Leo Butz was in the role.

12:54 am

lady is that still on broadway/? i have been DYING to sese that one.

and paired with Lithgow.... absolutely hilarious

12:55 am

see that one sorry for typo lol

12:55 am

Taking my son to see Avenue Q this Thursday, replacing our "strike" performance.

12:55 am

Lithgow is great

mlfan which play are you asking about? spelling bee?

12:55 am

yes he was brilliant in the role. lol

12:56 am

wow muse, long trip from the bahamas to get to those shows, eh? ;-)

12:56 am

yes lady spelling bee

12:56 am

thought ti had left broadway

12:56 am

lol I take the ferry from Bermuda to NC, then fly up.

12:57 am

2 word founf on new grid, so far.

avenue q - very funny but racy... spelling bee is still playing and there are always discounts available via playbill.com or theatremania.com

12:57 am

22, not 2!

12:57 am

:-)

12:57 am

1:40 am

I gave him an hour off from cleaning the kitchen

1:41 am

Ok, Flosey. Which one's your old man?

1:41 am

lollll flosey!

1:41 am

lol flosey, you're so nice

1:41 am

{{I'm feeling subtle tonight. can you tell?}}

1:41 am

1:42 am

Oops. That was my outside ketboard, again.

1:42 am

thank you Fran, that's so sweet

1:42 am

1:43 am

ok. My antennae are itching and I have no feet. I think I need caffine. BRB

1:43 am

1:43 am

Hi everybody! Lots of people still up tonight!

1:43 am

hi nef!

1:43 am

am very lucky Fran, he is a real sweet guy

1:44 am

lol woof, on my screen you are not cindy loo, but something that looks like a dark angel. Black background, sort of white wings at the top, arms and feet... which icon did you have before cindy?

1:44 am

hi Nef! I am up because it is morning here. Quarter to 9.

1:44 am

I second that, flosey -- funny too, and smart, and...

1:44 am

time to bow out.. and say good night.. good luck all and hopefully see you tomorrow

1:44 am

good for you flosey, any guy that cleans the kitchen is worth keeping. :-)

1:44 am

yup jilli, all of the above

1:44 am

I had a piece by a guy who's name I'll butcher. Waleski, or something like it.

1:44 am

and delightfully wicked, too, jilli, don't leave that out :)

1:44 am

lol Fran, he told me to say that,

1:45 am

bye Ruru

1:45 am

night ruru!

1:45 am

She had such a nice butt, too.

1:45 am

ok, thnx, at least now I know what I am looking at :)

1:45 am

but actually, he did clean up after we had big dinner for 8 the other night

1:45 am

moon, to me your icon looks like 2 ice cream cones

1:45 am

kept

1:45 am

seeeee?? my ANTENNAE are bloated. I think.

1:46 am

I've only got one ball, but it's Huge.

1:46 am

Ooops! Sorry. (WHEN will I ever learn?)

1:46 am

Now's good.

1:46 am

LOL, Nef... off to the penalty box with you. You are lucky it is stacked with midnight snacks and all.

1:46 am

but when I click on it, there's a little alien with a...bomb?

1:46 am

woof, your icon looks like disneyworld to me

1:46 am

Jill, what is your icon, it looks like a map but when I click on it, it's yesterday's

1:46 am

jilli, that's cindy loo who from the grinch movie. :-)

1:47 am

Nef, can you get BabbleExpert or do you hae a Mac?

1:47 am

SEEE?? Actually, Jilli, that's Cindy loo hoo. From Suessland, yesterday.

1:47 am

the icons are wayyyy off today. It is kinda funny.

1:47 am

OUCH, moonwolf! Nice to meet you (I see you're a fellow MN; we are a blunt bunch at times!) :)

1:47 am

flosey, it's a map of NYC

1:47 am

And she was a little alien.

1:47 am

ah, Fun City Jilli

1:48 am

Sorry, I missed out on reading Suess

1:48 am

I kinda appreciate bluntness. No pretenses, all clear at once.

1:48 am

It's true Nef. That's not a Now {{{GRRR}}} That's a "I'm glad I'm not the only one who states the obvious" Now.

1:48 am

jilli, I'm on a Mac. No Babble expert for me yet:( I do keep hoping, however

1:48 am

NYC was my home sweet home for years.

1:48 am

Suess was big when my kids were that age

1:49 am

That's a map of NY?? Is it backwards?

1:49 am

I seem to remember that, Nef. Poor you, lol

1:49 am

yay nef! (we're a minority here)

1:49 am

As it should be freaky vegans. Apples are for goats.

1:49 am

moon, it's manhattan island

1:49 am

Fran, YOU are on a Mac? WOW! I'm so impressed! How come you never goof?

1:50 am

Someone knowing about programming for Mac should help, Lickety does not have that knowledge. If he had, he would have made the Expert available for Mac already, but it is not a matter of simply changing, I understood it needs to be built off from the bottom again.

1:50 am

really? you sure? The ocean's on the left LOL

1:50 am

wow jilli - I've visited three times - once saw Aida, another time My Fair Lady, the other just a get-away - saw Count Basie and got his autograph

1:50 am

nef, you've just never seen me do it. :-)

1:50 am

lol Fran, not true, you hardly ever goof.

1:51 am

yes, rather a big river, moon, lol!

1:52 am

jilli, your map does seem backwards for some reason

1:52 am

I've only driven past it. I must have missed the orange part of New York, sorry Jili =)

1:52 am

That's true Fran. I don't get here as much anymore; and I rarely see some of the old familiar faces. This new job really interferes with my playtime! :)

1:52 am

i hope you enjoy the job nef or it wouldn't be worth it. :-)

1:53 am

sprite, when i do mess up it's always at the worst time, like right after i scold someone else. :-)

1:53 am

I'm liking it so far. It will be MUCH better when I can do it from hme though

1:54 am

I swear, in the blue part on the left which is too big, it says Map of New York City. I liked the colours, lol

1:54 am

From home is good. Especially, if you're in MN, too. Driving with these people gets darn frustrating in the snow. You'd think they'd know that it doesn't just Say 4x4 for looks.

1:54 am

ooh nef, that will be good.

1:54 am

I love the map, jilli, and since I am a total dork with geography, I see nothing wrong with it :D

1:55 am

Fran, I can't remember you doing that, but it sounds like a good laugh ;)

1:55 am

The colors Are nice. Even if it's flipped backwards. I'll blame my Antennae.

1:55 am

yes, your colour jilli

1:55 am

moon, most of the people I see in those SUV's seem to think that they don't have to drive according to the weather since they have the SUV. I see more of them in the ditch than normal cars

1:56 am

off to bed now, goodnight all

1:56 am

sleep well, flosey. Or have fun with the old man first ;)

1:56 am

see you at flip tomorrow

1:56 am

night flosey! and goodnight to mr. flosey too. :-)

1:56 am

naughty sprite! :-)

1:56 am

I guess maybe I need to go out during the day to see that =P Or not. Trust me. When you get there, you'll like working at home.

1:56 am

grrrrr goth is not valid.

1:56 am

Nite Flosey

1:56 am

Good night Flosey!

1:57 am

nef, so you're sort of a help desk for medical questions?

1:57 am

thanks jilli - taking daughter's bf out to lunch for starters - then Christmas shopping

1:57 am

totally, Fran! I like goth. I would have been goth if there had been goth when I was at goth-age. I sneekily pretend to be goth sometimes.

1:58 am

have fun flosey! (tomorrow too) ;-)

1:58 am

I think goth is gothtly

1:58 am

You know you typed that out loud, right sprite?

1:58 am

pardon my ignorance, what is goth?

1:58 am

lol jilli, exactly!

1:58 am

LOL sprite

1:59 am

Fran, that's part of what I do. We are also trying to teach people how to take more active parts in their own healthcare and also teach them to make healthier lifestyle choices

1:59 am

Goth is um, vampiric in apperance and usually underage.

1:59 am

lol woof, yes I know. I am so at home here at babble that I sometimes think out loud on my keyboard. You're not alone in that ;)

well Amit, then I'd say pick a letter. Type it. Then pick another letter next to it and type that. After 4 letters hit enter until you get points.

2:15 am

hi again infernal!

2:15 am

goodnite Nef

2:15 am

Hope to catch you all again soon! <Poof!>

2:17 am

2:17 am

brb

2:17 am

found my first 6, lol.

2:18 am

You knwo, now that I read the help page, it could at least say English words...

Hi my instructor was sick and the other instructor was crap

2:18 am

wait. Babble? How many ways can you spell "know" ?

2:18 am

that would be debateable, woof... half of enable is not english at all, or not anymore.

2:19 am

Does Knwo count?

2:19 am

That's true, sprite, but Every word no matter it's derivation can be found in the english dictionary.

2:19 am

BabbleRabble, I am still waiting for the correct answer on your 'it' question... how many ways?

2:20 am

Maybe that's a philosophical "it"... He may be meditating on it.

2:20 am

yay, I found a biblical sin!

Hello

2:21 am

OR he's trying to change his icon and having trouble, too.

2:21 am

all possible, I guess. But still only guesses.

2:21 am

at least we're not all Rhyming again.

2:21 am

don't start it, woof!

2:22 am

{{{Evil Chuckle Here}}}

2:23 am

Is it hiccuping again?

2:23 am

no, it is just quiet

I am here

2:23 am

there are a few very rare moments when all babblers are babbling.

2:23 am

Wow. Again.

Helo?

2:24 am

That's been true so far.

2:24 am

Hiya again, Lady

See i am here

2:24 am

helo: friendly halo

I cant think right now i have 30 left

2:25 am

It was just so... still. that's just wierd.

2:25 am

Ok. I vote again for wierdness and vinyl.

2:25 am

Or a Helicopter.

2:25 am

I have 23 left and I feel like I have tried everything else. A little tight grid.

2:26 am

Wait. Was that a philosophical "helo"?

what

2:27 am

I want to use that wh.

2:27 am

french, german, irish, columbian!/spanish - just been looking at the words I have monkeyed...just try any combo that looks vaguely OK

2:27 am

Oh mahn. Sadly, I don't have caffine to calm me.

2:27 am

lol lynxxx! Good advice :)

2:28 am

*pets woof calmingly on the head* now now, come come, there you go, gooood girl...

2:28 am

Well English on both sides of the pond being "melting pots" couldn't have anything to do with that, I'm sure.

2:28 am

<<<<<Scritch>>>>

2:28 am

*outch*

Moon do you need the pettings

2:29 am

^{. .}^

2:29 am

Always. Wanna help? She keeps missing under my arm.

Oh that is too cute a way to type

2:29 am

that was on purpose

2:30 am

Awwwww. {{{{{GRRR}}}}}}

2:30 am

I see boobies and armpits, what do you see, lady?

not much

2:31 am

Oh, I am here way too long, a mountain of laundry awaits. Bye everyone, have fun!

2:31 am

/\,,,/\ <------------ Scritch HERE

2:31 am

Nite Marmar

2:31 am

argh Marmar, just start the laundry and come back... ;)

2:32 am

*scratches behind the left ear*

brb

2:33 am

ty. I needed that. My ball is heavy, I'm missing my wings, and the antenne make my whiskers itch.

2:33 am

Sprite, this screen stays up on my computer most of the day!!! I check it out as I run past it. Plus my 6 year old little boy is getting as obsessed as his mommy, he'll be on it when he gets home from kindergarten! Talk to you all soon!

2:34 am

sounds like you're in desperate need of an icon change... hold on, hun, you'll be fine later!

2:34 am

bye Marmar, sounds delightful :)

2:35 am

I hope so. Really I do.

2:36 am

Actually, I'm just coming down off of being in the zone. I was sewing all day, after I mailed you.

2:37 am

when I sew, it never gets as beautiful as the things you make... hope that is a consolation :D

2:37 am

I doubt it's like that for you when you write, but making stock is brain free work, and it gets all pent up while I'm doing it.

2:37 am

Oh, well, ty. I'm telling you, tho... Those aren't very good pictures.

2:38 am

hm, no not really, though sometimes writing is pure inspiration, but most of the time it is just hard work.

2:38 am

Coming up with stuff to make is fun, tho.

2:38 am

man - that last word was a hard one or to5.18 !

2:39 am

Writing? Steve says that, too. I never have that whenever my brain spits out something to write. I don't do it for a living, tho.

2:39 am

wtg lynxxx!!!

2:39 am

congrats Kitty

2:40 am

I bet, woof! The creative part always gets the juices flowing ;)

2:41 am

Actually, I have the exact opposite problem... I'm thinking all the time. It's settling on One thing to do that gets me all tense.

2:41 am

wow, finally greyed out the middle D.

2:41 am

I can't get the first D =P It's been at 6 for the last couple of hours. It's really bugging me.

2:42 am

Might get going and some 'stuff' while its still daylight - bye everyone!

2:42 am

bye lynxxx *hug*

2:43 am

It's especially hard, like tonight, I've still got all this random obtuse stuff coming out because it's all been rolling around in there for 8 or 9 hours...

2:43 am

do you have the writing table and the word for not high?

2:43 am

Nite lynxx

2:44 am

de5/16 I mean?

2:44 am

yes table... and yes deep. Also land title + s many of the letter and bug spray

2:44 am

plus the psych word

2:45 am

don't say the words themselves, please woof, lol. Others might want to find them by themselves :)

2:45 am

How was that for obtuse LOL

2:45 am

past tense for the title.

2:46 am

Oops. I was totally thinking oceanic. Apologies

2:46 am

lol, thought it might be something like that.

2:46 am

but you are missing the past tense, I think.

2:47 am

it has a past tense? Hmm. Prolly right

2:48 am

Not the plural?

2:48 am

he was de5 by the queen for his good de5. Or something like that, I'd think.

2:48 am

you said you had the title and the plural. That could mean you are missing the past tense of the title.

2:51 am

It's completely eluding me.

2:51 am

BRB

2:51 am

argh! stressful day today!

2:51 am

ok, let's see if we are talking about the same thing here. Are we looking for the one missing de word from the upper left D?

2:52 am

Yes.

2:52 am

Hi Ata *hug* What's rattling your cage today?

2:52 am

Morning Ata

2:52 am

cake making, tidying, posting parcels, hair cut, dog walking, finishing present wrapping, ayla gets here tomorrow morning!

2:53 am

Oh joy. Coolio just got turned into a vampire.

2:53 am

Welcome to the hubby's B movie night on the SciFi channel.

2:53 am

ok. Act and acts. Not high. Plural letter. D + sounds like digest. Then the title, the past tense title and the plural title. The de5 of thoughts, or of the ocean. The writing table.

2:54 am

lol woof... let him have fun his way ;)

2:54 am

Well, Ata... Will tomorrow suck if it's not perfect?

2:54 am

Oh I am. That's why I know coolio just got turned into a vampire lol

2:54 am

yes LOL everything has to be perfect. lol. well not really. but ... she's my best friend coming over from the US and I havent seen her for months and and

2:54 am

woof, that is the perfect question. Try and relax, Ata, and do one thing at a time. Also ask yourself: what really HAS to be done for tomorrow to be not suckish.

2:55 am

Ayla is coming for YOU and the beasties, darling. She will not care one bit if your hair is unperfect or the house not pristine. You know that.

2:55 am

what really has to be done is that I get down to Gatwick to pick them up LOL

2:56 am

As long as Ayla gets there safe, that's the most important, thing. I doubt she'll care if the bed's made Just So.

2:56 am

but! she didn't have a birthday cos of the storms in Oregon. So she has to have a birthday cake

2:56 am

so, there you go, that is important.

2:56 am

The little I know about Ayla, I can tell for certain sure she won't give a shit about the tidiness of the house, lol.

2:56 am

oh, dont give a stuff about the bed and stuff! just her birthday cake. and the dog not stinking of pondweed. LOL

2:56 am

Or a birthday cookie, cupcake, brownie, or hug. You know better Ata

2:57 am

she is staying for a while, right? You can bake a cake while she is there and she can enjoy the smells as well as the taste.

2:57 am

On your way to Gatwick pick up a scone and stuff a votive into it. It'll be fine. Scones hold votives better than you'd think.

2:57 am

Ayla will love the dog, stinking or not. De4 breath, Ata. You are in the same state I was in recently, remember? Remember what you told me to do?

2:58 am

lol yes I know .... but I do want to try and make her a pretty cake. Espcially after Jac's angst about my cake making skills lmao

2:58 am

The votive will cover the pondweed some, too.

2:58 am

And to top this all off: Ayla will kick your ass if you rush yourself through all kinds of duties just for her, and be tired and pooped when she arrives!

2:59 am

lol @ Jac. Ok, so... walk the dog, bake the cake, pick up Ayla. Nothing more.

2:59 am

Well there you go. Welcome to something less stressful Ata. But don't do the top left D first, it sucks.

2:59 am

LOL true. Never thought about that with scones!

3:00 am

woof, I clued each and every one of the De words. Just check them off one by one :)

3:00 am

Ty sprite.

3:00 am

Down to 2... both Ts.

3:01 am

It works, truly. Best use for my mom's scones, ever.

3:01 am

only one more...

3:02 am

Good job Spite. GoGoGo

3:02 am

Sadly, I lack the pom-poms to make that truly effective.

3:02 am

nope, works perfectly for me. I just picture the pompoms.

3:03 am

yay finished the Ds

3:03 am

*-O-*

3:03 am

LOL

3:03 am

pfffff to5/16 was a b*tch.

3:03 am

firewords :)

3:03 am

yayyy!

3:04 am

congrats Sprite

3:07 am

Ok. That was wierd. AGAIN with the wierdness.

3:08 am

Well, I was hugging my husband, listening to some problem at his work, and taking a leak. So I was kinda quiet here.

3:08 am

just in time to congratulate Sprite ... woopee!!!

3:08 am

thnx lore

3:08 am

That's not wierd =P I just got booted.

3:08 am

Evening Lore

3:08 am

3:10 am

Ty again sprite. I was dying

3:10 am

3:10 am

3:10 am

3:12 am

3:12 am

3:13 am

eeww.. see..i wanted to say a phantom was a mouth part... and thats close

3:13 am

nice sprite.

3:14 am

better than the Goth phantom

3:14 am

well thats not a phantom..enable just wont let us have it

3:14 am

indeed :) Drop consonant from mouth piece could have been another clue.

3:16 am

wouldn't "mouth muscle" be a better phrase? Even if there would be comments...

3:16 am

I thought of 4 other parts before i got to the muscle.

3:16 am

why moonwoof...i dont know WHAT you mean..lol

3:17 am

*I* do {{{evil grin}}}

3:17 am

I could show you...

3:17 am

lol.. my partner would want to wwatch,

3:17 am

why can't I find any 6s LOL

3:17 am

Sokay. Mine, too.

3:18 am

*slap self*...behave

3:18 am

i have one ata

3:18 am

Cause your dog smells like pondweed and you haven't gotten out a scone, yet =)

3:18 am

I'd rather be Good.

3:19 am

actually pondweed smells quite nice, but its definitely an acquired smell

3:19 am

you would???.. hmmm

3:19 am

Even mixed with Dawg?

3:19 am

Of course. =D Or Best. But I'll settle for Damn Good.

3:19 am

anything mixed with spaniel is lovely

3:19 am

oh I found one yay!

3:20 am

hi Ata!!

3:20 am

ata...how do you cope with a dog and winter...that was my downfall..

3:20 am

a dog and winter? in what way?

3:21 am

That's easy. You fence the yard, and get one with little or no fur. It's working great for me.

3:21 am

But you fell from what?

3:21 am

well.. taking zak for a walk was one thing..but hed come back sooooooooo filthy... and he was such a crazy dog... every walk meant the house was covered in muck..

3:22 am

maybe it was the fact he was so crazy... maybe we just have to have any dog we have trained...right from the start

3:22 am

ahhh. its called the beach!

3:22 am

oh, that. Get him booties.

3:22 am

aaah.. different froma muddy park..

3:22 am

then a constantly on hand bucket of water outside for any muddiness

3:23 am

I use baby wipes, myself. They work great for the muddy days.

3:23 am

She rolls around and digs in the muds, and I baby wipe her and let her in.

3:23 am

hmm.. well its not an experiment i will take on again without LOTSA thought

3:23 am

oops

3:24 am

I am seriously considering buying a dog from the errrr... word.... breeder? Because I want to do the training from the very start.

3:24 am

the beach is always the saving grace for muddy days

3:24 am

And Jack Russels are about as crazy as they get...

3:24 am

Yes, breeder. And that Is a good way to get one.

3:24 am

not as loopy as spaniels :P

3:25 am

yeah sprite..thats where we went wrong..and we werent home enough..but now my partner works from home..we could consider it

3:25 am

and ata..i love spaniels..and wanted one...but i didnt realise they were loopy

3:25 am

training from the start is just like any of the other training, tho. Even rehab dogs respond to consistency. And you have to have it from the start and keep doing it.

3:26 am

Do you mean dopey? Cause that i could see. But loopey, she very much is.

3:26 am

spaniels are fairly mad ...

3:26 am

yup, am reading up on the subject at the mo. As soon as hubby realises that once I have decided we get a dog, we are gonna get a dog, we will try and find our perfect King Charles Cavalier Spaniel :)

3:27 am

you still want a Cavalier? I think they are perfect for you

3:27 am

And Russles aren't? Have you ever seen one of those bank around the back of a sofa like the Indy 500? I'd say they're down right Wacko.

3:27 am

Which ones are the King Charles? I don't remember specifically...

3:28 am

hm, facebook is nuts. Everything results in an error.

3:28 am

hi again everyone!

3:28 am

We've had 2 spaniels, both different, but I don't remember which, anymore.

3:28 am

it looks like they're changing things sprite

3:28 am

WB Fran

3:28 am

the error messages are different from the normal ones

3:28 am

How were errands?

3:29 am

http://tinyurl.com/2q3jp2

3:29 am

yep, blank pages with only a button for return home and previous page

3:29 am

fine moon, i actually was distracted by other games before i came back

3:29 am

and the buttons aren't working either! :-)

3:30 am

i cant get into scrabulous... but i can get into my profile on facebook

3:30 am

Aw, the mini. they are cute.

3:30 am

hi rolin!

3:30 am

And fairly calm for mini's I understand

3:30 am

hey fran...

3:30 am

http://www.preloved.co.uk/fuseaction-a dverts.showadvert/index-1031279074/ee3 ed185.html

3:31 am

yes, cavaliers are sweeties. they are still proper dogs, but ever so cuddly and docile

3:31 am

very. And they can either walk for hours or be content with a short walk.

3:31 am

and they fit on the front of a canoe!

3:31 am

hi ata!

3:31 am

I've heard good things about them. They're also good with kids.

3:31 am

aloha Fran!!!

3:32 am

kia ora lore!

3:32 am

hi franny!

3:32 am

ok..i better get myself ready to go to work... maybe see some of you at lunctime..

3:32 am

exactly, woof and Ata!

3:32 am

bye rolin!

3:32 am

hey lore! *hug*

3:32 am

later rolin

3:32 am

hugs back Princess

3:33 am

rolin: looks like a darling! But I will need a pup, not a grown stud :) Can't have that much competition in da house.

3:33 am

how are you doing, lore?

3:33 am

pooh...sent you the wrong link.. http://www.preloved.co.uk/fuseaction-a dverts.showadvert/index-1031279374/35c 69b9f.html

3:34 am

good sprite missed you this weekend another hug to make up lol

3:34 am

also, I am wondering about the prices. We are not rich, as you all know. I was thinking, some pups are up to breeding standards, others miss some of the 'beauty-requirements' for the race. Would the latter kind be less expensive? I do not need a show dog, just a good dog :)

3:34 am

glad you are good :) *hugs right back*

3:34 am

hi again infernal!

3:35 am

hey herin!!!

3:35 am

yes, generally most breeders will sell off non-show standard pups for less. like HObbit!

Sprite try your local http://dogzonline.com.au/

3:36 am

Yes, Sprite. They occassionally come down when a pup has a problem, however, since they're pups, they can grow out of many flaws. You need to make sure they're not coming down in price for a health issue.

these people have breeders and also rescue pups

3:36 am

wonderful, Ata and woof! I'd love that.

3:36 am

you'll basically need to talk to the breeders and ask

3:36 am

If it's a health issue, it'll cost you More in the long run than paying the extra 100 upfront.

3:37 am

no, I want a healthy one, but I would not mind any 'flaws' that are related to looks or height or something like that.

3:37 am

hobbit was sold off cheaply cos she has a white blob on her chest, so she's not a perfect black cocker

I hate pet stores. I was there today and some toss has crossed a cav with a cocker spaniel Cockalier just annoys the hell out o fme.

3:37 am

My partner breeds russels. She does that, but very often. Just cause you Say you won't breed or show it doesn't make it binding.

3:37 am

and I also want a good breeder, that has done the necessary things with the pups from the very start. Socialising begins early in life :)

Sprite the site i showed you there may be something in your end of the world

3:38 am

oops. Not often.

3:38 am

lady, thanks, gonna check it now

3:38 am

That's Very true sprite. It's important.

3:38 am

rolin: sweeeeeet!

I don't think that this site will help you sprite but what i am getting out is that some times a dog out grows its cute factor or the person has to move OS and bredding papers state that the line cant leave the country so the dog gets sent back to a breader

breeder not breader dang it

3:39 am

That does sound like a good ad if it's close to you, Sprite. But be sure to ask Why less expensive.

3:40 am

If it's just the white, then all good.

3:41 am

But 150 is a lot for a breeder to come down, on this end of the planet, and that's not exchanged.

3:41 am

I will remember, woof! And it is too early for us still, I want a pup from a litter come spring.

3:41 am

start talking to the breeders in the new year then, sprite. get a rapport with a few

3:42 am

FYI pups are usually more expensive in the spring, probably for many of the reasons you're interested in spring.

3:42 am

I need to be a little stronger myself first. I want to give the pup all the attention and training and cuddles it needs and though my kids will help, the training will have to be consistent and I want to do it.

3:42 am

People don't like the hassle of puppy training in the cold. That could be part of the reason she's coming down for a good home...

3:43 am

will do so, Ata. And no, woof, not for those reasons, just because I am not ready yet. If there is a lot of difference, perhaps we will even wait for autumn then.

3:43 am

I was thinking of emailing a couple of breeders and 'feel out' their answers.

3:44 am

I'm glad you know that about you, sprite. That's good for you to know. And it's true. If you're pricing now, wait til March to look again and you'll notice a difference.

Thats an idea sprite but always thing that in the new year puppies are a little larger and no longer cuter and thus dumped at a pound

3:44 am

why the heck cant I find the o!

3:44 am

You can also try going to breed "club shows"

3:45 am

Um Ata... That's a very personal and profound question. How much do you like you?

3:45 am

Ata, you o5 to be able to find it easily :P

3:45 am

Are you treating yourself well at home?

3:46 am

DUH! ty

3:46 am

that video is excellent agreeing with Princess Sprite

3:46 am

thanks sprite! that's been killing me too!

3:46 am

yay lore!

3:46 am

oh wait, which video?

3:47 am

watch that ending, Fran and Ata. It might help you find a couple of other terribly hard to find words today.

3:47 am

isn't it, lore :D

3:47 am

breeders often form clubs to make contacts and show off their dogs. You can visit those to meet breeders as well. It's a good time, usually, because they aren't usually "dog shows" they're more like business get togethers.

3:47 am

it just has :)

3:47 am

no kidding sprite, i'm finding all my missing words now

We nearly didn't have a cat last night. The cat snuck out of the house luckily the b.f found her at the front door

3:48 am

I try to, woof. But being good to myself is one of the things I am finally beginning to learn... note the word 'beginning'.

3:48 am

todays Fran

3:48 am

all cats sneak out. as long as you notice and can grab them ....

3:48 am

then, yay lore!!

3:48 am

Fran, I can give you the URL if you hold on (Fran has a Mac and no Expert, lore)

3:48 am

and congtrats on finishing, Lore!

3:49 am

well, like I said. Good for you. It's never too late to start, but it's more fun if you start sooner =)

3:49 am

Ata i didn't notice. I started to tear the house appart

3:49 am

thanks Sprite the grid wasnt too hard grateful its a small one

3:50 am

There is a belgium shepard up for adoption at the local shelter i wish i could tell my friend she loves shephards but has been uncontactable

3:56 am

can't believe the amount of work, lol, but it was worth it.

3:57 am

1 left!

3:57 am

and they spent less than an average commercial.

3:57 am

go ata go!!

3:59 am

stay Ata stay!

4:00 am

4:00 am

4:01 am

4:02 am

4:02 am

nope

4:03 am

firebirds!

yah ata

4:03 am

yay ata!!!!

4:04 am

what was the last one?

4:04 am

Hope it's not 5,18 ata. Went to bed, couldn't sleep, finally left the snuggly comfort for a cold computer and monkeyed it ... and then couldn't find a definition (other than proper nouns). Phooey. Go walkies and return.

wow i have 27 left

4:04 am

Ah hoooooray Ata. Freedom awaits!

4:04 am

hi jwr

4:04 am

yup te5/18

4:05 am

4:05 am

what an ugly word!

4:05 am

sily is licking my laptop. strange

4:06 am

Hi, Fran -- I'm about to return to dictionary dreamland (where every word has a meaning) but I always enjoy the chatcrowd at this time of night -- you're all bright and friendly and interesting.

Ata my cat lives on my laptop

4:06 am

yes, that was one of the horror words, lol

4:06 am

congrats!

Hi Jwr

4:06 am

LOL jwr, sounds like you fit right in here jwr. :-)

4:06 am

Hi herin -- how are you feeling?

4:07 am

even if we don't have caffine...

good

4:07 am

ok. dog walk, parcel posting etc. think I'll leave cake making till this evening, too stressful now!

4:07 am

welcome to the chatcrowd then, jwr... sounds like you are part of us already :)

4:07 am

Evening jrw

4:07 am

NO stressing Ata. It's silly

4:07 am

no stress allowed, Ata. One thing at a time and 3/4 of what you have planned is not necessary.

4:08 am

I'm not really, I promise :P

4:08 am

Remember. Scones!

4:08 am

so... go and have fun, Ata, and that is an order ;)

4:08 am

4:09 am

yes you would, you liar!

4:09 am

I understand festive xmas candles go well with raspberry.

4:09 am

loooool

4:10 am

A touch of holly and you're done decorating for the holidays, too

4:10 am

actually I might even go down to the farm shop and see if they have a sponge cake I can decorate for great ease

4:10 am

You're really multitasking

4:10 am

That's much better. Have fun Ata.

4:10 am

great idea, there you go Ata :)

Atta how old is kitty?

4:10 am

*poofs*

4:11 am

o, you are soooo tempting. But it's after 2am and ... well, you understand. If it were yesterday's puzzle I'd still be futzing around blearyeyed but this may be a chance in a babble-lifetime to get a real night's sleep ... so, I'm off in a couple of lambshakes to count tails.

4:11 am

bye ata!

4:11 am

Nite J

4:11 am

Nope i am a 30 year old fur mum (which is somewhere)

4:21 am

Ok. If a fur mum is what *I* think it is I got you beat on the head in gutter bit.

4:21 am

4:22 am

(and actually I've just worked out I've got till Friday, cos darlin Ayla gave me her arrival time in Oregon time, not Brit time!)

My kittie is my fur kid. I don't want kids. They drive me nuts. Cute and everything but not my thing

4:22 am

4:24 am

Hello Fran et al.

4:24 am

(wheeeee no cake hassles till tomorrow! really going to walk the brat now)

4:24 am

4:24 am

heeeeeeeey Haz! Always a pleasure to see you.

4:25 am

5:18 am

gh/5 gruesome fiend

Hi nono

BFS no as the concept is stupid

Sorry i don't mean to be rude

5:24 am

is hurt by that remark !

5:28 am

it is awfully quiet in here today!!!

5:28 am

"turns up the volume"

5:29 am

lol bfs

5:29 am

have you been babbling for long?

5:30 am

um, around 2-3 months, how bout you

Hey i didnt mean it in a rude way. I mean in the sense that by story line Aliens are hive driven (prey) Predators aren't. Arse kickery all the time with the Predator unless swamped by aliens under queens command. ALso the Predators shell is made from Alien skin

Ok now i just revealed i am a big arse nerd.

bf, I just watched your trailer..... its definitely not my kind of movie LOL

5:32 am

i've been playing on and off since 2004, but in december last year i started babbling religiously

5:34 am

@herin - i was jesting, the concept is stupid i agree, i guess it is escapism. and it is obvious to guess the ending. myself - i like the predator and alien movies, and avp will be worth a watch (for me) plus it looks a bit b movie which i love!

BF it does.

Its a bit of fluf

5:39 am

i have to run....have a good day....evening all!!!!

bye bye pink have a great day

5:40 am

good morning. Didn't we have some of these words yesterday? Is it Groundhog Day?

7:09 am

sometimes you see a word and are sure you entered it, but you must have dreamed you did because when you go to the list, you find it is not entered.. hi Inge2.. Feb 2 is groundhog's Day

7:09 am

Hi Inge, I didn't do much yesterday so I don't know :-)

7:09 am

I was referring to the Bill Murray movie, Groundhog Day.

7:09 am

oh, the movie, lol.. i am slow!

7:10 am

7:14 am

arrgh... three more four letter words i "thought" i had entered.. my brain must be ahead of my fingers ..

7:16 am

but here is a new one for me: sk4.9 means a beehive..

7:17 am

That's what I'm getting for Christmas.

7:18 am

Or rather, what somebody else is getting on my behalf. A new word to me as well.

7:18 am

great, Haz! my hubby used to keep hives, and he taught our daughter .. protected of course with the bonnet, veil, gloves etc.. we had them for many years and enjoyed the harvest.. even made mead for holiday gifts.. great hobby!

7:18 am

really, Haz? what a great present. I assume it comes with bees?

7:19 am

Yes, and the bees are disappearing, so the more sk4s we have the better, I would think

7:20 am

As far as I know it comes with bees. Husband is buying it on my behalf for someone overseas who can use it. It's a charity called Send a Cow, but you can send all sorts of things!

7:21 am

4 left for me. ANyone have the te5 yet?

7:21 am

Ah, I did that for my daughter last Christmas. THrough Heifer Project

7:21 am

te + this is a to*** word to find

7:22 am

danka

7:22 am

now THAT is a new word for me.

7:22 am

bitte

7:23 am

And no definition given so we can let our imagination run riot.

7:23 am

yes, Haz. SOunds like an expression of disgust to me.

7:24 am

actually, it is an adverb that means "tough"..

7:24 am

I can't find my last two-- last de5 and first do 5

7:24 am

i am done, done.. sigh..

7:25 am

whosoever do*** this grid must also do*** housework next..

7:25 am

Just in time to go to the penalty box, Aloy.

7:26 am

fireworks! thx!

7:26 am

congrats, Aloy. SUch great letters in this grid...but if we just had a couple more vowels...

7:26 am

oh dear.. lemme look

7:26 am

kudos, Grace

7:26 am

Good afternoon all, time for lunch = time for some babble chat.

7:27 am

hi there FMitch.. (-:

7:27 am

Hello FMitch.

7:27 am

congrats, Grace!!!

7:27 am

Hello Aloy and Haz

7:27 am

you changed your icon.. going to take a look, FM

7:27 am

thx all...see you tomorrow.

7:28 am

HI F. Bye, Grace

7:29 am

Hi inge2

7:29 am

well, fox in sox showed up when i clicked, but i enjoyed reading your poetic paragraph!

7:29 am

Is favourite city the theme for today?

7:30 am

Yes it is Haz but unfortunately I got error messages when trying to load my icon

7:30 am

do you travel often for work, FM? Daughter is in Rabat right now..

7:31 am

I used to Aloy my territory was from South Africa north to Finland, spent 2 years travelling then had to stop, too much! Now I stick to the UK.

7:31 am

morning all! shouldn't the singular of toga be togus? :)

7:32 am

Have alwasy travelled on and off my whole life though.

7:32 am

toga is the singular, togae would be the plural.

7:32 am

sounds good to me, dan2.. we really need to write our own dictionary...

7:32 am

Latin nouns ending in us become i in the plural.

7:33 am

Think how obtuse our dictionary would be. It would probably make Enable look sensible.

7:34 am

vene, vidi, vici.. tearing myself away.. have so much to "get done".. you are right, FM.. nutso ! Bye all.. see you next grid ! Happy Babbling!

7:34 am

haz - yes, I was goofing

7:34 am

Ah, 5 years of Latin is enough to make anyone (me) too serious about the thing.

7:34 am

Bye aloy

7:35 am

"Have more tea...will babble some more" - hi babblers everywhere !

7:35 am

Lol, Haz.. there was in Gaul three provinces.. burned into my brain.. Caesar's Gallic wars.. Poof..

7:35 am

bye Aloy !

7:35 am

Hello monty.

7:36 am

Hello again, montreal.

7:36 am

Bye Aloy!

7:36 am

bonjour FM et Hazel ! - 15 left here...

7:36 am

That was one of the things that disturbed me about 'Dead Poets Society' - they had great lumps of boys repeating stuff that they should have learnt in first year.

7:37 am

ca va? 75 ici.

7:37 am

ça va bien - spouse and I are going to a Christmas lunch today !

7:38 am

Jolly times.

7:39 am

Must get some lunch... Not a turkey in sight, unfortunately.

7:39 am

13 left.. went through it once

7:39 am

Tuna salad here sigh

7:40 am

it's starting earlier than usual for us - wife is going to a Christmas dinner as well...

7:40 am

lol had that happen in the past and by the time you get to Christmas Day, it's "oh no not turkey again"!

7:42 am

the best is "Turkey leftovers" hummmmm

7:46 am

mmm leftovers. Lunch is done so must pootle off and do something productive...*meanders towards the kitchen wondering if drinking tea is classified as productive ..? *

7:47 am

It would be productive if you worked as a tea taster.

7:47 am

lol I thought you had gone?

7:48 am

having tea while babbling IS productive...for me at least...

7:48 am

Well I had, sort of. It's been a coming and going sort of morning.

7:48 am

And here's Barclaycard ringing again.

7:48 am

and as I am not allowed to babble w/o my minder *grin*

7:49 am

your "minder" ?

7:50 am

6 left!

7:50 am

Yes, apparently I'm her protector. Five foot one and a wimp, I'd not be much good.

7:50 am

It was a joke (I think) from yesterday. Inge not inge2 asked what I was doing in babbleland w/o my protector!

7:51 am

ahhh... get it ...lol

7:51 am

I've been getting computerised phone calls for weeks now, never anybody speaking just clicking off once answered. It finally occurred to me to ring back the number. Barclaycard (we don't have one!) trying to contact us. Every time they ring me (every hour or so) I'm ringing them back to complain....

7:52 am

I feel a letter of complaint coming on.

7:52 am

well done hazel ! if everyone did that...maybe they'd stop !

7:52 am

Those computerised call outs are so frustrating. If the call centre is UK based they have to leave a call back number. O/S the UK and no way to compain.

7:53 am

Should I tell them I'm Chief of Police?

7:53 am

yes haz lol

7:53 am

Oh yes that will carry clout. Just don't mention the you-know-what.

7:53 am

need the first to5, anybody?

7:54 am

It's an 0808 number. Will that get me to India?

7:54 am

how many words today?

7:54 am

No, no mention of the only you know what.

7:54 am

It could do, depends on how the numbers behind the 0800 are routed.

7:54 am

75 words babs

7:55 am

thanks

7:55 am

here in Canada (and the US) , a "no call" list is being set up: if you put your name on that list, tele-marketing companies won't be allowed to call you !

7:55 am

We have the same here but again it is only effective when the calls are from within the UK

7:56 am

We have 2 numbers on the one line, they're ringing the second one, it has a special ring-tone so that's how I always know it's them.

7:56 am

oh i see FM...

7:57 am

Barclaycard would have a website, wouldn't they?

7:57 am

likely....

7:57 am

yes Haz they would

7:57 am

brb ma going to put kettle on

7:58 am

I'm on it now. An e-mail coming up.

7:59 am

6 left...

8:01 am

Well, if they don't get the message from that.... I used capitals and everything.

8:01 am

capitals...lol

8:02 am

You have to get to5 with these people.

8:02 am

like Paris, London, Berlin ?

8:02 am

Oh don't. I remember trying to clue 'city' for someone using those examples and it fell on stony ground.

8:02 am

"when the going gets to5, the to5 get going"

8:03 am

"stony ground"... i like that hazel

8:03 am

And it's time I got going as well, I should be across town by now. I'll just blame FM.

8:03 am

Feel free!

8:03 am

Bye for now!

8:04 am

yes hazel, when in doubt, blame FM...

8:04 am

hagd hazel !

8:04 am

Bye Haz

8:06 am

yes, when i tried to upload todays, a bunch of errors came up with the server...

8:07 am

Hi EvaN there is a prob, but love yr icon from yesterday. Venice would have been 3rd on my list before San Fransisco

8:07 am

as my profile says, i dont know if its really my favorite (i dont think i really HAVE a favorite) but i feel in love with it when i was there!

8:10 am

Oh I see Venice now EvaN

8:10 am

a friend of mine went to Venice a few months back - at 70$ per person, the pirogue run better be romantic...

8:10 am

i sent him an error report a few minutes ago. let's hope it's a minor fix

do5 rhymes with 'when the going gets to5'

and my dalek here looks kind of shaky, lite it's missing a few pixels

8:28 am

thx, book

8:29 am

I'm in expert which always messes up pics, but in log I see...something. Very pixelized, maybe a windmill on a plate? Lol. In profile, i see Seuss

8:30 am

can't change my icon at all--when i try to upload i get error messages . . . ugh

8:30 am

The one time being pro isn't better than non! Hehe

8:30 am

une -- me too, but eventually, it changed within the log anyway (though, not within my profile) kinda odd today.

uni, that's a dalek, not a windmill! (but yes, it's a picture on a plate) LOL

8:31 am

I don't know what that is...must google, brb

lessee if i can get the Dr Seuss picture back into the chat log . . .

8:32 am

uni -- its a Dr Who thing. ;)

8:32 am

eva, all i see is green eggs and ham . . .

8:32 am

It's a robot? From Dr. Who?

the Lorax is back!

8:32 am

LOL. That's pretty neat.

uni, it is a Dalek, yes, but not a robot

8:33 am

une -- you might need to refresh. others said they saw my Venice... but at this point, i think its a losing battle to try to see anything...heh

12:04 pm

YAY Becca! How're the triplets ;)

12:04 pm

thank you Uni!

12:04 pm

Angie, if you're jsut beginning, this will seem impossible. But you will grow to love it!

do 5/14? please?

sigh. Another diversion to keep me from work

12:06 pm

If you look up the middle english for "do" on google, you will likely get it, hotc.

12:06 pm

the last 8 seem impossible:) And this does keep one from getting work done - hee hee

12:06 pm

You are being sucked in to this babbleland angie..there is no escape now LOL

12:07 pm

triplets (!) doing fine uni - not making me quite as sick now, but still comes in waves!

thnx uni *smacking forehead*

12:07 pm

Someone was asking about you the other day, and it made me curious too...now if only I could remember who! Do you get to find out the sex where you live?

12:08 pm

I've got to go now - have fun everyone, and keep with Angie - you'll love it!

12:08 pm

Becca !! I didnt know,congratulations

12:09 pm

12:10 pm

uni not that it affects me (thank God) but when they have the 2nd scan they can ask the sex of the baby if its clear enough

12:10 pm

ok , got those, how many to's

12:10 pm

4 to words

12:11 pm

I just wondered as here in NS, Canada you're not allowed to know unless it is a high risk pregnancy. I don't get the logic, but...

2nd su? not the bird food

12:12 pm

I wouldnt want to know a lot of people dont

12:12 pm

su + **osties and **oulies and things that go bump in the night

12:12 pm

It sounds like what you do when you are really tired or frustrated, just with a different vowel

12:12 pm

hotchoc - s+the groan word j.

12:12 pm

su + i don't believe in **osts

3 to go....

12:13 pm

I don't know if I would want to know...but that is MANY years away. University is enough for me :) I just think refusing to tell you if you ask is strange.

12:13 pm

I have one. It is a 5 letter word beginning with T. And judging from what Caitlyn said, it's a to5. Urgh.

12:14 pm

I agree Uni..

12:38 pm

trying to do it w/o list but i think i reached my limit

12:38 pm

BEing sick is hard to do, especially when you're young. When your body doesn't co-operate with what you want, it is very frustrating

12:39 pm

i just feel so bad for him

12:39 pm

how old is he feather?

12:39 pm

3 beth

12:40 pm

poor baby, they dont even understand eing sick at that age. poor mommy too

12:44 pm

You ou*** to know better by now, that balle will get you every time!

12:44 pm

I'm so glad I'm not alone here...misery truly loves company!!!

12:44 pm

12:45 pm

oh, duh! Many thanks, Uni...

12:45 pm

It was a cute little grid, but I found the few toward the end (TOs) to be trickier.

12:45 pm

hmm, stick a few random letters on the front of that too jeanne, i just got 2 more that way

12:45 pm

Peri helped by suggesteing there was a lot 'gh'

12:46 pm

yippeeeee!!!! that surely helped featherbee!!!!

12:46 pm

12:47 pm

12:48 pm

E help please? i don't have any of the three

i couldn't get into the ones by the coal mine with the back gardens that had veg growing in or the ones near the shops and opp the park, but it didn't bother me as i'm use to it plus it is suppose to be about the olden days and they weren't wheelchair friendly then, and i got in for nowt i think, so i can't complain

I've heard of dogs "diagnosing" cancer in people, even (nudging them where it is). I wonder if it's ever been studied.

10:58 pm

It is worth 14 points because lickety sayd it is...

10:58 pm

*said

10:59 pm

my olde english/shakespear isn't happpening for me dc :-(

11:00 pm

skheiny, archaic 3rd pers singular of 'do'. One finds it in King James Bible, too.

11:00 pm

11:01 pm

2 syllables

11:13 pm

i'm going to get some potato chips

11:13 pm

i'll be right back, have to get kids out of the tub and run out to do an errand.

11:14 pm

the suprise at dinner was the wine was only $30 for the bottle, quite reasonably priced wine list.

11:14 pm

i guess i'll see you all after the flip!

11:14 pm

ttfn fran

11:14 pm

fran, i just passed in the almost-finish game.

11:15 pm

so6?

11:15 pm

sheesh, dc -- try Viu Manent (Chilean) Malbec for a lovely red, less than half that price

11:15 pm

a so6 after item.

11:16 pm

thanks dc that's it for me!

11:16 pm

well 30 is restaurant price, and that Malbec goes for 18 here

11:16 pm

yay harp! :D

11:16 pm

gotta go to sleep while the Christmas Music Vortex allows...I actually have a whole day with no gigs and no rehearsals./....

11:16 pm

apparently my pass finished the game.

11:17 pm

yeah, right, restaurant price. One of Montreal's civilised things is BYOWine. Not here!

11:17 pm

yup you get the save dc!

11:18 pm

brb

do 5:14? Shakespeare do? what?

11:18 pm

nor here. One can bring own in DC and PA around here, though corkage fees in DC can make that not worthwhile.

11:18 pm

do5/14 - archaic 3rd-person present of 'do'. add a vowel into do4/6.

11:19 pm

Fireworks

11:40 pm

glad it was a small grid. Long day. I just got up from a two-hour nap... LOL

11:40 pm

which one, dc?

11:40 pm

yes seain, what a peculiar word that it!

11:40 pm

I love red fish blue fish one fish two fish, btw

11:40 pm

indeed. congrats, stid!

11:40 pm

my last was a really dumb T becuz I had the pl

11:41 pm

don't you hate when that happens, Jill? *empathetic smile* at least it doesn't happen too often

11:42 pm

how was the weather for you today Jill? it was nice here, but a bit chilly of course

11:42 pm

so you finidhed, stid? (phone call interrupted)

11:43 pm

here was very nice today - in the 50s F.

11:43 pm

nice but shilly day here, stid -- no precip as was threatened yesterday

11:43 pm

yep. combustion initiated!

11:43 pm

that's chilly, duh

11:43 pm

YAY stid!!!

11:44 pm

yep figured. how's the library damage estimate now? is there a lot of work needed?

11:44 pm

dc, similar temps here

11:44 pm

that seems balmy for this time of year seain -- about 10-15 higher than normal

11:46 pm

it was 20ºF warmer than usual here, so quite pleasant.

11:46 pm

library damage is HUGE. New roof required. Still drying out. nearly 400 big boxes of books stored. We open next Monday with very limited resources in half the area. Spoent this afternoon re-shelving DVDs in tema area -- much more to be done. Big nightmare.

11:47 pm

yeah - I remember one year when we were outside on the driveway in shorts, trying out new roller skates ... back in Virginia where usually it was snowy and cold.

11:47 pm

oh, my jilli. is there money for the roof?

11:47 pm

are you going to re-roof even though you were planning on building new?

11:48 pm

and stid, we usually could use our new skates or bike on xmas afternoon.

11:49 pm

we MUST re-roof! New building won't happen for a couple of years at least -- gov'ts are passing bucks about the grant we should have heard about in August. Insurance will cover expenses, but a $2500 deductible.

11:49 pm

community can pony up that deductible, if asked?

11:50 pm

wow. I didn't realize the money wasn't coming through for the new one. What a bummer. Well $2500 isn't pocket change, but at least it's possible.

11:50 pm

community has already been asked for support and gave -- can't keep asking. Very small population.

11:51 pm

is there a site where others can donate, jilli?

11:51 pm

*I* wasn't asked, dear Jill. we can't afford much, but will happily contribute.

11:51 pm

exactly, i'd gladly give something toward that.

11:52 pm

niiiiiiiiine minutes

11:52 pm

eiiiiiiiiiiiggggghhhtttttt minutes

11:52 pm

In the local paper today people were asked what they thought about the water damage. One jerk replied that he doesn't use the library and buys his books, and is oppoosed to the new building. Selfish igonorant bâtard (that's real French)

11:53 pm

blue, you're new, right?

11:53 pm

LOL Jill, even _i_ understand that french!

11:53 pm

ask for help if you need it, blue

11:53 pm

dc, and stid -- you are so generous and thoughtful! So far no such site!

11:53 pm

yes. it's really obvious isn't it

11:54 pm

i was counting down

11:54 pm

is there an account set up at a bank for the library? we could do a wire transfer -- or I can send you a check

11:54 pm

blue is new and coool

11:54 pm

aw thanks. i finished my first grid today

11:54 pm

that's fun to do blue -- what do you hope the next grid will be like? I am hoping for around 275...

11:54 pm

jilli, do let us know how/when we might contribute.

11:54 pm

YAY blue!!!!!!

11:54 pm

:D thanks jill

11:55 pm

243 would suit me just fine.

11:55 pm

good for you finishing a grid so soon after starting. that's a difficut

11:55 pm

congrats, blue! :D

11:55 pm

argh. difficult thing to do

11:55 pm

i'm hoping for a baby step forward, honestly. this 75 was a gift and i don't think i'll be able to finish much bigger

11:55 pm

argh low battery brb

11:55 pm

and Jill -- if there is a public way to donate, we'll put it on babblecast.

Clues aren't up!

hehehehehe

11:56 pm

heh, hi lickety!

11:57 pm

rofl.. oh lickety, you silly boy!

11:57 pm

No, stid, on both accounts! It will muddle through! The grant will arrive eventually, and so will the insurance money. There have been some sonderful unpaid volunteers doing a magnificent job, working every day to fix things out of sheer devotion. This library is unique -- one part-time pro chief librarian (who was away this past week!) and about 150 volunteers, some of whom are retired librarians and other well educated people

Hey all - The stress is over, We have officially exchanged - got the deposit, the house is sold!

11:58 pm

cool, lickety!

11:58 pm

yay lickety!!! does this mean your good for a loan?

11:58 pm

YIPPEEEEE lickety!!!! oh how super-wonderful. NOW you can move on and get back to a normal. Selling and moving is harsh

11:58 pm

congrats lickety :)

11:58 pm

Whoopee, Lickety!!! A load off your backs!

11:58 pm

have yall looked at any places yet?

11:59 pm

yay lickety! also hi

11:59 pm

oh no here it comes

11:59 pm

evening (morning) all

11:59 pm

hello Just!

11:59 pm

Hi mar

11:59 pm

Yeah - ask away - Now the stress is finding a place!
