Hello

12:01 am

12:01 am

hi infernal

Hey everyone

12:02 am

Evening lady

Hello and i will say very early Merry Holidays as i am going to be out soon

12:03 am

flosey -- I was an only child -- stocking was hung on the end of the bed to greet me when I woke up -- I still remember one time when I was four and had asked for a British flag, and there was a tin one in my stocking

12:04 am

hi all

12:04 am

Evening cathy

12:04 am

ah, lovely jilli

Jill that is a lovely memory

I hope you all have a safe christmas as i am likely to be vanishing soon

12:05 am

Happy Holidays? Hanukkah was Dec 5, eid was a few days ago -- this is CHRISTMAS!

12:05 am

have a great one herin

12:05 am

You, too lady. Have fun, but be safe.

12:05 am

flosey, I love YOUR story

Well some don't celebrate the birth of Christ.

12:05 am

Could mean Kwanza Jilli...

hi!

12:06 am

thanks jilli, great memories

12:06 am

is it Christmas there yet, infernal?

I am going to go have a dinner meeting with an ex bestie tonight

Harp its 5pm Monday here

12:06 am

there is a christmas word in the grid

12:06 am

have fun herin

Yes well this should be interesting tonight as i havent spoken to her in a month she apoligised to me

12:07 am

herin -- have a great time. It's just that Christmas is the name of this particular holiday, whether you celebrate it or not, just as Diwali is the name of the Hindu holiday.

12:07 am

ok, so you're in the Thick of Christmas Eve then

12:07 am

god speed!

12:08 am

and good luck, herin, making peace with your friend.

OK Safari is going kookoo bananas with babble.

Oh yes Harp. Jill that is partially true

Jill I don't know how it will go i am at a different point of my life now

12:10 am

i am stuck at 32 words so far

12:10 am

i don't understand why my icon won't change - is there something new i should be doing?

12:10 am

ok...this grid is allowing a proper name! hmmm

12:10 am

sometimes you can reconcile easier when you have moved to a different place in your life

12:10 am

I thought the same thing, Cathyar!

12:11 am

it looks different here, helen... 3 wise men.

12:11 am

Hah! I am stuck at one, mlf -- must pay attention to the gird!

12:11 am

Helen -- I see we all got e-mail from Fireman about the defunct Tangleword

12:11 am

must be a xmas gift to us from Dr. God!

12:11 am

have you tried "refreshing"?

my first was a ridiculous H word.

12:11 am

and i don't have a proper name except d4

12:11 am

ok then moon - i guess i'm the only one who can't see it

harp i am hoping

12:11 am

23 p words !!

12:11 am

I guess w4 is a proper name too

12:11 am

erda - i haven't checked that account - any (good) news?

12:13 am

12:13 am

12:14 am

you mean middle h?

12:14 am

my ja5 is a 22 pointer

12:15 am

I don't think it's a Common use for the word, erda, but it's still a real non-noun

12:15 am

Interesting, moon...I learned something new!

12:15 am

yes, mlf, left side

12:15 am

12:17 am

12:17 am

it's the H above that, which has no vowels touching, that I was wondering about

12:17 am

it's a four letter word, jill, just monkey it (the H)

12:17 am

Tried two -- they are not as good as Tangleword...

12:17 am

mlf, flosey was talking about J words

12:54 am

it's not just a noun anymore.

12:54 am

hmm. *remains skeptical about Enable's sanity*

moonwoof - I'm developing a new keyboard - one key for every word in the Enable dictionary. Then to solve the grid, you just slide down it like a slide.

my hair is even curly!! something had to change... maybe my body will like the change and treat me right

2:23 am

MRP - Can you see my new baby? if not refresh

2:26 am

what a handsome boy, lynxxx!!

oh lynxx... gorgeous!!! vixie would love to meet him!!!

2:27 am

ah lyn - he's a handsome puppster

2:27 am

He is MVA and I think he will be a good dog once he gets more used to us...a lovely nature

they would make beautiful pups!!

whippet x sheltie are divine!!

con grats on your baby!!

2:30 am

umm Stewart has had a little operation - all GREYHOUNDS that go through the GAP adoption do.

oh darling!! stewart is still welcome to 'fool around doggie style' :) :) :) (((how uncouth of me!!)))

well, us ladies know the drill.... special occassions! :) LOL

2:32 am

MRP but you are the secod person today who said he was a whippet. He is the size of a female though - 26 kgs only. lol I am sure he would like to fool around - he is very playful

2:33 am

all he probably needs is love, time and more love lynnxxx

2:34 am

yes MVA - probably hasn't had much 'real' human contact in his first 2.5 years (in racing kennels) so will improve over the next few months

good on you for taking him in!! be tough and give him love when he earns it! we learned alot about that when vixie became a bitch!! she is very loving and obedient now!!

2:37 am

my dad had anex racerand after time he was the sweetest tempered dog out, my nephews learnt to walk by using him to pull themselves up!

2:38 am

Wow that's great - not many dogs of any breed would tolerate that

2:41 am

anyway I'll be off and wrap these presents and finish this off in the morning. MRP/Lickety ( & kids!)- have a wonderful & exciting day tomorrow! Bye for now

2:41 am

it took love, patience and time but he was a lovely dog... so love and look after stewart!

2:42 am

So how are you my dear?

4:33 am

its christmas...so... miserable..i hate this time of year...

HUgs

4:33 am

hi carlee, angel

4:33 am

thanks....but in 1 week its all over...

4:33 am

hi sprite

4:33 am

and *hug* carlee, I know. I am just the same. Shitty time of the year.

I am not going to let it bother me this year. I spoke with the ex g.f and it was hard. I wasn't the same

4:35 am

i wish I could turf all the xmas stuff out the door

4:35 am

I just had to explain to my kids why I am so unstable at this time of the year, and I promised them we will make a lot of good memories this year.

4:36 am

my kids just know I hate this time of year

4:36 am

we can't, carlee, as long as we have kids. I will light a special, NON-Xmas candle for you and send the light and warmth straight to your heart :)

Thanks i have to go light a candle on the porch

4:37 am

thanks sprite...

Carlee i do send yuo a big hug

4:39 am

dearheart, if you wanna talk, my email is in my profile, ok? If you need someone who really understands how it is to live through this time of year while HUMBUG rules.

I saw someone last year and it changed my attitude. I cant really explain it

4:40 am

its ok sprite...its nothing tragic... its 2 fold..my personal beliefs..and a long history of disappointments at this time of year...

4:40 am

{{herin}}

4:40 am

that's just the problem... it is not really tragic. It is just hard. *hugs* anyway :)

4:41 am

Hello. I totally lack holiday spirit this year myself, despite a lovely solstice ritual yesterday.

4:41 am

:o)

4:41 am

happily, i don't have SAD issues.

He Dc

4:41 am

yea...throw in some SAD and that is me

4:41 am

hi dc....

4:41 am

rather sads

4:42 am

ah, is it officially a syndrome now. i guess that makes sense. :)

4:42 am

hello, sprite, lady, carlee. :)

4:42 am

its part of it...

4:43 am

hi dc! *hug* I love solstice. Much more in my line as well. And yeah, lots of sadness, and not wanting to participate in buybuybuy and eateateat and presentspresentspresents. We are celebrating Xmas in a very moderate way this year and we all feel good about that.

done

4:44 am

yes, and happily, today we begin getting longer days here :)

4:44 am

congrats, lady

4:44 am

4:49 am

hm. i wonder if pe6/7 describes me sometimes; rather i worry that it does.

4:51 am

lady, you were beautiful before as well, but it is lovely to see how more defined your face is now, and you seem to look calmer as well. Congrats on taking it the slow way and taking care of yourself.

4:51 am

I have never felt there was any relation between you and the pe, dc.

4:51 am

ca 7/36 = what batman wears around his shoulders + another name for a wireless party

4:51 am

ty, sprite

4:52 am

thanks, both of you. Now all I need is the sleep one.

Thanks I had a hair cut since then. I needed it. No more lady Godiva hair

4:56 am

An early good morning o everyone on this beautiful Christmas Eve day. DC, you were an early riser this morning, too, or are you in Hawaii?

4:56 am

you are on your way to be your new self, it seems, lady. Slowly changing into yourself. :)

4:56 am

hi Merk!

Hi Merk

Sprite tonight was hard as i met the ex g.f. It was like an elephant in the room we were all trying to ignor

4:58 am

adjective of ap 6/21

4:58 am

yeah, that is not an easy thing. *hugs* Hope you feel you came out of it strong and in one piece.

4:58 am

4:58 am

*share the buche de noel, complete with marzipan mushrooms*

4:58 am

owwww of course! Thanks :D

4:59 am

and a good morinng to you, merk!

4:59 am

Hi Sprite and Herin ... another small grid. Will it be hard?

4:59 am

thanks happydan, I meant :D

4:59 am

no, it is disappointingly easy, Merk. A quicky.

Happy early Christmas Merk

5:00 am

merk, i started 30 min ago, and i'm about 2/3 done.

5:01 am

OK

i am done

I was lurking and talking

Dc have you Christmas off?

5:03 am

5:03 am

i shall miss the rice pudding tonight.

5:03 am

are you still with us, BabbleRabble?

5:04 am

sprite, he's not online here right now

5:04 am

oh, stupid of me, could have checked that myself. Thnx, dc.

5:05 am

it only sometimes occurs to me to check :)

5:06 am

hw and qh were once common digraphs in English.

5:07 am

I am very dense today, very prone to crying and totally fuzzy about who to organise everything. Hubby yelled at the kids a little while ago and I went all depressed and hopeless. And then I wa4 to kick myself in the ass and then I remember that I am learning to be gentle with myself... arghhhhh. Let me babble till January 2nd.

5:08 am

where 'who' of course should have read 'how'. Nice illustration.

5:08 am

*hugs sprite* It will get better.

5:08 am

qho and hwo both existed in early forms of enlgish for who. and it parsed just fine :)

5:08 am

thanks dc :) It will. It must.

5:09 am

hehehe, that is nice :D Makes me smile.

5:09 am

i grew up in da4/5 city, virginia

5:10 am

sounds good to me, dc. Like there are mountains near.

5:10 am

Half done

Dc do you get New YEars Eve?

5:11 am

Just the people I was hoping to wish happy holidays to =)

5:11 am

merry christmas eve

Hugs SPrite

5:11 am

i'm up at 6 am now, eating breakfast and hoping to get some things done before everyone else wakes up

5:12 am

mountains lay 75km to the NW of where i grew up, Sprite. Some days, we got, and my nephew still gets, a day off from school because the County can't get a school bus up Bull Run Mountain at the other end of the county. I grew up near the confluence of the Potomac and Occoquan Rivers.

5:12 am

heyyyy woof! *hugs* Received the emails yesterday and moved the email directory to a save drive, so it will not happen again that I lose everything. I hope you have a wonderful Xmas and may there be Light in your days and your nights, hun!

5:12 am

moon and feather! hi! :D

5:12 am

lovely, dc. Funny thing... when you tell stuff like that, I start feeling better.

5:12 am

very happy holidays to you both!

5:12 am

hi feather. If only babble, right? ;)

5:13 am

Morning Dc. Happy day to you, too, although I'm sorry to read you'll be missing pudding.

5:13 am

and the same wishes for you, feather.

5:13 am

hehe, well i do see it's a small grid....perhaps just a few itty bitty words before i start the day?

5:13 am

And as long as you're around sprite, I'll always have a Light.

5:13 am

happily, my life centers not on pudding :) nor on cherry sauce to have with it.

5:14 am

When I met my parents-in-law for the very first time, they served ricepudding with berry juice as dessert. I managed to work my way through it without flinching, behaving so very perfectly.

5:14 am

Someone mentioned food and it made me hungry. bbl

5:14 am

ah, finally got the wireless bit of the ca7 clue. ty whomever that was :)

5:14 am

ciao, merk

5:14 am

oooo. Cherry sauce. I dunno Dc. Sounds like a difficult choice. Of course, it doesn't help that I'm hungry.

5:14 am

dairy agrees w/you not, sprite?

5:15 am

And then, second round of dessert, and hubby-to-be takes a huges portion. I hand him the berry juice. He says, not too much, darling, or I cannot taste the ricepudding anymore.

5:15 am

Cya Merk. Happy day!

5:15 am

and I blurt out: "That is what the juice is for!"

5:15 am

LOL sprite! oopsie!

5:15 am

bye Merk, take care of you!

5:16 am

LOL sprite :)

5:16 am

Danish rice pudding is quite unlike rice puddings we eat here in the States.

5:16 am

in a good way.

5:16 am

yeah, a blooper I will never ever live down. And my inlaws are both gone!

5:16 am

It's actually good that you got that out of the way early, in your relationship, sprite... I stepped on my nuts yesterday, with my boys family...

5:17 am

lol, true woof. What happened?

5:17 am

I'm pretty sure I'll know if it wasn't too bad, if he doesnt file for divorce =P

5:17 am

oh, what passed, moon?

5:18 am

umm, is that middle H an HW?

5:18 am

Oh mahn... It was straight out of a Chaplin movie. I swear I felt like I was on Candid Camera...

5:18 am

that bad, hm? LOL...

5:18 am

oh, there's alpo in the grid today :)

5:18 am

5:18 am

feather: yes, HW4, babblet.

5:18 am

I'm a Complete Clutz. I'm a good natured menace to myself on a Good day...

5:18 am

unit of currency in Korea, the hw.

5:19 am

aha! i knew it was a babblet, but for the life of me couldn't see it. just did now.

5:19 am

sounds endearing to me

5:19 am

You know Dc. I tried to enter that like 4 times... It Kept telling me it wasn't a word. Silly game.

5:19 am

yay feather

hey buddies, and yet another itsy bitsy grid i see 8-)

5:19 am

Well, it is, I guess... As long as you dont rip your father-in-laws toupee off his melon.

5:19 am

sometimes it does that with valid words, moon. On some occaisions one most clear cookies and restart game to get them to take, or at least sign out and back in.

5:20 am

morning, gwen :)

5:20 am

hi Gwen, yes, one of the most uninteresting ones I played in ages. Alas. But we will see what tomorrow holds...

5:20 am

I tripped over my nephew who was diving for the dog who got scared by Something and I grabbed the closest thing to me for support.

5:20 am

lolllll woof... you did that? Wonderful! Might give him the courage to do without ;)

and a happy no4 to everyone LOL

5:21 am

oh fabulous, moon

5:21 am

lol gwen... nice one! Same to you!

5:21 am

merci, gwen, et a vous aussi!

5:21 am

Sadly, however, he used spirit gum on his toupee... And I ripped it Straight off his head before my hand (clutching the toupee, of course) Right into the green bean casarole.

sprite, thanks for letting me know how uninteresting it's going to be (!) LOL

5:22 am

Evening Gwen. Happy morning.

5:22 am

5:25 am

5:29 am

historcaly, more people than you'd think, moon.

5:29 am

woof, if I knew why people wore them, I might be able to answer why they glue them.

5:29 am

I love bald heads. Picard is ever so sexy.

5:29 am

I knew it was a toupee. *I* did. But apparently my neice and nephew had No idea, and they just stared.

5:30 am

sprite, do you know Christine Lavin's "Bald Headed Men"?

5:30 am

It kinda felt like I stepped on the Easter bunny.

5:30 am

Picard Is sexy. But I can ignore bald for that accent.

5:31 am

I don't, dc?

eegad -- !

Hello Babblers... Merry Christmas

Moon you make me laugh

5:31 am

Christine Lavin is a tongue-is-cheek folk artist. i think you'd like her work.

5:31 am

Morning Nono. Merry Xmas to you, too.

5:31 am

morning, Nanett, and to you too! D:

5:31 am

5:36 am

I think it will be tomorrow, if the hubby's still here. And I suppose it's true, Dc. I just never expected to physically channel Robin Williams.

5:37 am

All I can hope, right now, is that he's up there getting his dad so drunk he won't remember. =P

5:37 am

Or cleaning the toupee lol

5:37 am

Ok. I feel better.

5:38 am

Good Morning all, may I please have clues for the 7's

5:38 am

snow. it rained this weekend. Snow at xmas has happened 3x in my life here.

5:59 am

It's a Bill Cosby comedy bit. About making breakfast for his kids. Dc sugar line reminded me of it.

5:59 am

no, they are kind of unwords.

5:59 am

i thought xmas snow was a myth perpetuated by TV for many years.

5:59 am

oh, now that you say Bill Cosby, I remember! I loved that show as a kid.

6:00 am

I think we only get it about 1ce every 5 or 6 years

6:00 am

Actually, Dc, it's "secretly" perpetuated by Minnesota, and most of Canada =P We got a Ton yesterday.

6:00 am

same here, carlee. Not very common, but it happens.

6:00 am

yes, when i lived in Boston, it'd been snowy since early Nov :D

6:00 am

no worries sprite..i always drop 1 word per grid...that was my drop

6:01 am

I can show you what it looks like... You opena blank word document... Well. like that.

6:01 am

Afternoon all. Popping in again to wish Happy Christmas to those I haven't already seen today.

6:01 am

6:04 am

na5 sounds like nailed.

6:05 am

It's beautiful, Mitch, truly.

6:05 am

6:07 am

Yay congrats Gwen

6:07 am

bragging is good!

6:07 am

Good job, gwen. Way to stick it out =)

btw, dc, i like your icon. looks like a little robot

6:07 am

does anyone know what might cause the profiles to not open for me?

6:07 am

the bunny show was really cool/

6:08 am

And yours still kinda looks like a dalek =)

do you have a popup blocker on sprite?

sprite: i get that sometimes. could be a browser issue. have you done browser maintenance lately?

6:08 am

LOL

6:08 am

it's an Elektra w/bakelite handles espresso machine :) R2D2 meets coffe. it's actually taller and slimmer - it's a rectangular photo squashed.

moon, ummm, it IS a dalek LOL

time for breakfast here bbl

6:08 am

thats me done great video hope scrabbler gets to see it... thanks bb

6:08 am

It is Now. =)

6:08 am

6:09 am

Cya nono

6:09 am

<POMPOM TOSS> for lore

ew, you squished a coffeemaker! LOL

6:09 am

bye nono

6:09 am

thanks carlee!!!! hugs

6:09 am

well done lore!!!

6:09 am

Ok. You're still on coffee. I thought maybe you wanted santa to bring you a robot lol

6:09 am

Gwen: I just reinstalled the whole works, windows, browser, everything.

so, i was looking for cute pix of cats to print out on "to: from:" labels for my cousin and the internet has millions of cat pix! Unfair to daleks who don't have so many pix!!

6:10 am

popup blocker... yes... is on. Let me check.

sprite, you're running windows. that is always the firth thing i blame . . .

6:10 am

It truly is. It Must be discrimmination.

6:10 am

LOLLL Gwen! Yeah, computers are like airplanes... never open windows!

6:11 am

When I grow up, I want to have a Mac.

6:11 am

ROFL so true, sprite!

in fact, Babble is the only thing I use IE for, since it doesn't run well on Firefox

6:11 am

that's true for me at home, too gwen. only cause Lickety wrote it that way.

6:11 am

Nothing wrong with Windows or have I been lucky also use IE fine!

6:12 am

I use firefox... It seems fine to me... Except when the whole site freaks out.

6:12 am

same for me fm

mitch, how can you say nothing wrong with windows!!! ack!

6:12 am

LOL Gwen.

6:13 am

How ya doing carlee, hanging in there?

how do i love windows? let me count the ways. ummmmm . . .

6:13 am

i never used babble in IE at all until i started babbling from work, where we only have IE.

6:13 am

darn, I cannot get it to work, I hate this. I want to see that necklace. Etc.

6:14 am

oh well, why didnt you ask?? silly girl.

6:14 am

sprite I'll email you a pic if you like

6:14 am

is it a kind of security setting?

6:14 am

IE, google, yahoo, and other toolbars can block pop-ups, unless a site is excepted.

sprite, perhaps they will simply email you the jpeg?

6:14 am

please do, FMitch! Thanks so much!

ummmm . . .

6:15 am

I am gonna put babble into the green zone, see if that helps

6:15 am

I already did, mitch. But yours would prolly be better quality

6:15 am

in, IE, yes, sprite. Pop-ups are managed through Tools>Internet Options

6:15 am

Back in a sec, pootles off to email

ummmm . . .

6:16 am

thanks to you both! But not having the profiles s*cks big time anyway... guess I do need to fix it after all, dc :(

6:16 am

good morning all

6:16 am

Ok, there

6:17 am

is One reason to like windows. You can adjust stuff =P

6:17 am

morning, phan!

ummmm, no, you can adjust stuff on a mac too

6:17 am

Morning phan. Merry Xmas!

6:17 am

is everyone ready for x-ms?

ummm . . .

6:17 am

lol

6:18 am

Not like on a PC. I've owned both and I came back.

ah, ah, ah, file sharing is usually easier if you have windows. okay, that's one . . .

phand, by ready you mean what, exactly? LOL

6:18 am

I couldn't upgrade the Mac like I can my pc. Especially the laptops. The graphics Arent quite as good, tho.

6:19 am

Thankfully, Phan, neither my dogs or my cats are allowed to have a calendar, so I'm totally ready =)

6:19 am

and i work tonighht and tomorrow night, so i'm ready.

plus there's enough pressure without this chat room turning into a pressure zone too LOL

6:20 am

Oh, I forgot to ask, Dc. Did you settle on something for your mom?

6:20 am

no more shopping baking, wrapping, cleaning

6:20 am

so, by that def, I am not

6:20 am

I have cleaning to do

6:21 am

i bake today..my hubby has one more gift to get

6:21 am

I used to do a lot of astrology and the programs just did not run on a Mac. So I used PCs and now I am used to them.

6:21 am

no, moon. there's always gift certs for borders, whicth she loves.

6:21 am

dc, what do you do? are you in the medical field?

6:21 am

Ok. I really Was hoping for the theater escort tho. I think that coulda been classy =)

6:33 am

hi moon! hi FM!

6:33 am

hi fran

6:34 am

what a lovely picture FM!

6:34 am

hi carlee!

6:34 am

hi sprite!

6:34 am

hi dc!

6:34 am

(did i miss anyone?)

6:34 am

morning, fran; ur up late!

6:34 am

I cannot get the profiles to open, it drives me mad. I am gonna email lickety and I will leave it rest for now.

6:35 am

Frannnnnn! *hug* I missed YOU :)

6:35 am

( try openning babble on its own..without lickety....

6:35 am

then try profiles )

6:35 am

i know dc, just dropped in to say hi before bed

6:35 am

thanks sprite!

6:36 am

same problem, carlee, I tried that as well

6:36 am

i was catching up on e-mails and other things since we were out all day and look at where the time went!

6:36 am

Awww... That's the second best present I've gotten, today. Fran stayed up for us!

6:36 am

hmmm..then am stumped

6:36 am

lol moon

6:37 am

{{let me have my delusion fran, it's been a rough night.}}

6:37 am

woof needs all the love she can get, lol

6:37 am

this is the place to get it. :-)

6:37 am

thanks for the email FM!!

6:38 am

it is not related to the expert, that is for sure. And not sure about the popup thing. Usually I can open any popup by clicking on it with Cntrl held. Does not work either.

6:38 am

oh look, a word that goes with our theme today

6:38 am

reboot?

6:38 am

Glad to send it Fran, yours has arrived too :)

6:38 am

sprite, try crtl+click on icon, pls, and tell me what happens.

6:39 am

oh good. :-)

6:39 am

anyway..off to sofa for a bit....

6:39 am

You'd'a been proud, tho. It involved green bean caserole. And it has been good. I would say maybe even Wise to come here.

6:39 am

enjoy, carlee.

6:39 am

enjoy the day all..happy christmas to those I may miss later on

6:39 am

lol dc, see my last post...

6:39 am

You too, carlee. have a good day.

6:39 am

sprite I had the same thing on Friday and it was around the same time babble and sudoku went a bit slow and glitchy, then it was all ok again after about an hour.

6:39 am

oh, i see. does the sceen do anything when you do that, or just nothing?

6:39 am

bye carlee! have a good day. (hug)

6:40 am

take care, carlee. Am thinking of you and helping to carry the burden a little. Wind beneath thy wings, darling!

6:40 am

Bye carlee

6:40 am

the blue bar at the top goes light, as if there is another page active, that is all.

6:41 am

ok, might try later then as well, FMitch, but it has been this way since the reinstall, I am afraid it is not due to a server problem, alas.

6:42 am

Ah well in which case resort to the old fashioned way of fing things and kick it *grin*.

6:42 am

tools>internet options>security>pop-up blocker shed no light on the matter, i gather.

6:43 am

sprite, on my husband's laptop sometimes the shift or control key locks even if i haven't pressed it and that causes strange things to happen.

6:43 am

nope, dc, I even tried with unabled blocking and they still do not appear.

6:44 am

sprite, when you go to your window menu, do you just have the one window open?

6:44 am

lol FMitch, that sounds like me :)

hi, all!

6:44 am

hi TOwl!

6:44 am

hi TO!

6:44 am

Yay TO Happy Christmas

6:44 am

Morning TO. Merry Christmas!

6:44 am

not sure I know what you mean, Fran?

6:44 am

great icon TO!

merry christmas back atcha!

6:45 am

Her cat gnomes =)

or should i say ,ele.kaliki. heck fran, you know!

6:45 am

I saw them and half expected to see a new Travelocity commercial. =)

mele kaliki...whatever

6:46 am

sprite, i'm thinking the profile windows may be hiding behind the active one

6:46 am

close enough TO!

6:46 am

mele kalikimaka me ha hau'oli makahiki hou!

6:47 am

ah, I see. No, I checked that, they are not on my bottom bar either. They just not appear. Thanks for helping me thing!

6:47 am

Fran what does that translate to?

6:48 am

sorry if i'm mentioning things you've already attempted. :-)

6:48 am

Ok, Fran... I have a silly question.... Does "Mekeleka Hi Meka Hiney Ho" mean anything? (Go ahead and laugh, it's pho-en-et-ic)

6:48 am

merry christmas and happy new year FM.

6:48 am

Hi, sprite, temple, Fran, moon, mitch. Merry (almost) Xmas!

6:50 am

<----------- BIG large marge fan

wtach it woof - i'll sic my cats after your dog ; )

6:52 am

That could suck. Ok. You win.

6:53 am

So basically, it didnt mean anything, right?

6:53 am

7:09 am

same here, TOwl, I bet I made some mistakes with that as well. Let me just say a general hi and bye with lots of warmth to all :)

7:09 am

that's quite a vacation owl.. how did you manage that, and what are your plans?

7:11 am

please, can someone help me here? I cannot find my last word, not even with lickety's list. It is the pa4/9 after the trousers. I am already holding a fish ready to slap myself.

well - work interfered with the week i saved for medical. and i never picked out the tile so no bathroom redo yet. and i lost a day or so not having time to take them. bascially excpet for fest i never taook a vacation. i don't recommend that. : /

7:11 am

do you play chess sprite?

change the chess piece ending

7:12 am

only at a totally basic level, Dorens.. I once learned to play, but I suck at strategy.

7:12 am

oh no, owl vacations are a true necessity

7:12 am

Sprite - a chess piece (the smallest).

7:12 am

use the consonant before the "m"

sprite - to hock.

7:12 am

sprite. that question was a clue!!!!!lol

7:12 am

oh, tsssss, I am TOO dense here. I have a chess piece, but it is my very last pa4/9. I need the one before that? Right after the trousers?

7:13 am

Merry Christmas MrP and Lickety!!!

7:13 am

use the consonant before the "M"

7:13 am

change the last consonant.. sounds like a man's name

7:13 am

for the ending

7:13 am

sprite - in that case it's the word that sounds like my Other Half's name.

hi pink!! merry christmas to you too!!!

7:13 am

Dorens I apologise for being SO stupid, lol. I realise now it was not a question. Sigh...

hi lil!

p + night bird, spelt with an 'a'

7:14 am

hey sprite, no need to apologise.... anyway, I didn't have the word you needed then, not using llist... but after you said, that then i played around with last consonnat. hi pink

7:14 am

Jac, that did it! Thanks all of you for the help to this dense lady. Fireworks at last. Jac, may there be Light in all your nights and all your days, hun. Thanks for the beautiful card!

7:14 am

hi TO....where are you off to?

7:16 am

I am so happy that xmas is here!! I wish you all the best xmas and happiness like we have!! :) :) :)

7:16 am

babble is a avery good place to connect to love in stead of stress and sadness. I feel connected to you guys in a very warm and strong way.

7:16 am

merry christmas to you to bbnaz

7:17 am

singing is one of the best things, bbnaz. I am going to put on some mantras on Xmas and we will sing with the kids, and do some drawing and colouring mandalas. It will be great.

7:17 am

7:35 am

I ran off to the loo. No, Doren, no trip to NJ, but maybe in the spring. I do want to meet you & Owl sometime. (Hmm, do YOU want to meet goofy Scrabbler?)

7:35 am

We shall find out, boo.

7:35 am

Good morning Babble!

7:35 am

Oh my goodness! Mrpresident, you are Gorgeous!

7:36 am

Surely Dr God will know that we'll have no time to babble on Xmas day, so it will probably be just two words -Merry Christmas!

Yes boo - I can vouch for that - and I don't need to be biased

7:36 am

Ah, the beautiful Michelle! Merry Christmas to Lickety, Michelle, Luke & Maddie and the dog!

7:36 am

7:40 am

Yahooo Jacula! Please give Flossie a big Christmas snuggle from me and my bunnies.

7:40 am

Yes, there is a responsible teenage girl up the street, but, still I have trouble surrendering control.

7:41 am

WHen I go to Boston to see Phoebe (which is once a month) I don't like to be away from the cats for more than two nights.

hey guys!!!

7:41 am

So you understand, Doren.

7:42 am

Hi Johnny

7:43 am

My first 27 have come rather easily but now it is tough.

7:43 am

it is a bit challenging jr

7:45 am

Hi, Scrabbler - I'm at 28 right now - so I know what you mean.... Hi, Babblers- Merry Christmas to all!

7:45 am

aplei

7:45 am

on no

7:45 am

Well, I have to get ready for work and the drive up north. Even if the office is quiet from parents not wanting to drive in the snowstorm, I am going to give Xmas presents to my friend's (with cancer, in the hospital) kids. Mary will not be home for Xmas and I am sad.

7:45 am

penalty box for me!

7:46 am

come on, JBV, give us a real word.

7:46 am

just monkeying around, sorry

7:46 am

oh, sad scrabbler. nice that you are going...drive carefully

Good morning all, why can't we have a big one on a day when I have time?

7:47 am

Hi all

7:47 am

Happy Christmas to all who are celebrating today! Joy and Peace and all good things to you and yours!

7:47 am

Hi and by, Scrabbler

7:47 am

good mornin

7:47 am

hi marc... this might be small, but it is taking more time than some of the larger ones.. hi ch and peri

7:47 am

The husband spoke to me yesterday and he is struggling the most. But the focus is on the kids. I will visit Mary in the hospital too. She is brave and getting stronger.

7:47 am

Hi Periwinkle, my Noggin friend!

7:48 am

Hi marc and ch and frantique

Hi Scrabbler hope this next year is less struggling for all in your life

7:49 am

:D

7:49 am

But life is always full of struggles.

Need a clue for ca7/36, please?

7:49 am

Bye buddies!

7:49 am

bye scrabs

Life should be full of bliss and happiness, ignore the struggles

7:49 am

Happy holidays all from the "great white north" !

7:50 am

Hey Lucien, Happy HoHo!

7:50 am

and you as well, lucien

ca7/36, please?

7:50 am

dont have it yet marc...

7:50 am

don't have it marc.. hi uniquity

ok

7:51 am

I've been so distracted by chat I don't have any words yet...whew

I guess I will have to struggle along

7:51 am

Bacon said, life is "lucid intervals, happy pauses".

7:51 am

marc, you just said to "ignore the struggles" !!

7:51 am

Or maybe he was referring to madness ... I can't remember :)

I know, ironic isn't it?

7:52 am

Hi Marc...is is a small fish and starts the same as the ca r/y befoe it...

7:52 am

yep..

7:52 am

down to 30 left.. better get ready for work :(

7:52 am

oops the ca 4/6 is mean...

7:52 am

oh my...better stop trying to type!

what is the r/y if have the small fish?

7:53 am

bye Lady !

7:53 am

later all... Merry Christmas

7:54 am

Sorry Marc...not a great start to my day! It should read "starts the same ans the ca 4/6 before it"...

FYI: last Dec 24th we had 182 words and Christmas Day we had 284. I happen to be a list maker and was watching to see is there was any pattern to the size of the grids... not nerdy enough to determine any, but it is fun to look back. Have a Merry Christmas to those who celebrate ... time to bake and cook for tonight!

Yes I understood but there is a ca5/14 between but I still don't get it

7:55 am

tx read .. and enjoy !

7:56 am

read knit bake, do you recall the very large one we had early july. i think 535 or something like that, and a very small one a few days before or after... 38 or so? do you have the facts on that?

7:56 am

ok, try the 5/6 then ad la 4/5 minus the e

7:57 am

oh rats...I mean the ca 4/6...better go back to bed!

7:58 am

Merry Christmas Eve everyone.

merry xmas mom!!

Jul 9th was 535. I did not finish that one. It was 68 the day before and then I was gone for 12 days on vacation . Jul 25 was the 38. I know I am not the only one who keeps lists thought...it has been discussed in chat.

Hey Read-Knit-Bake I recently learn't that Dr God makes Grids in advance - and I know cause he ran out a while back and had to make another batch - so if he really wanted to, he could move them around.

7:58 am

to you as well, mom!

7:59 am

Hi, again, I'm working on this and I am not getting the clues, either - ca 7/36

7:59 am

Dorens, I am like Read Knit Bake, I have that on July 25 we had 38

hi marc! merry xmas!

hi mom! merry xmas!

7:59 am

lol Read Knit Bake, I thought you had left so I was going to answer Dorens for you.

7:59 am

thanks rkb... and mom. i often have people ask about the smallest, and I thought it was 38 in july. and I certainly remember the 535 cause I did do that.

7:59 am

thank you Dorens

7:59 am

hi mom - happy holidays !

7:59 am

Hi JBV

8:29 am

wd scary - Merry Christmas to yo and yours !

10:44 am

I love peanut butter !!

10:44 am

Oooh...peanut butter fudge is DELICIOUS I will be on my third set of gingerbread men

10:44 am

10:45 am

Oh, it was quick cuz I found some...a surprising can of beef vegetable something or other. it's not even condensed! I am happy

10:45 am

tomato soup sounds really nice right now... with toasted cheese!

10:46 am

oh... I'm sorry here *passes plate around* I brought some for my boss and then he informs me he doesn't like peanut butter

10:46 am

Mm...maybe I shall have to melt some cheese into my soup as a compromise

10:46 am

WHAT?! Who doesn't like peanut butter? People who are allergic even like it, I bet!

10:47 am

Mmmmmmmm lovely Niamh thank you

10:47 am

he's a huge smart alec... I'm not entirely sure he wasn't playing with me... but he hasn't eaten any yet!

10:48 am

Sounds like my Dad....I make him delicious things and he complains about it, lets it sit...then complains when I eat some...THEN secretly eats it all. Men are complicated, I fear

10:49 am

At least my stepdad openly appreciates delicious things!

10:49 am

Well I had better go now...I hope you all have a very Happy Christmas See you all soon..bye

10:51 am

Bye Cait! **hug**

10:52 am

It can be frustrating, but at least it is all appreciated!

10:52 am

I wonder if Dr. God purposefuly gave us a small grid today knowing we all should probably be doing other things???

10:53 am

I know the grids are randomly generated and all... but he is a Dr. and a God on top of that...

10:54 am

I alwyas wonder...someone came on and said that last XMas, it was a 287 word grid though...

10:54 am

He chooses what ones go on what day though, I believe. At least, i assumed after the day that he ran out of grids

10:59 am

maybe the 287 word Christmas grid was a gift to those who needed a distraction that day?

11:00 am

maybe the 287 word Christmas grid was a gift to those who needed a distraction that day?

11:00 am

stupid glitch... I think that's only happened to me one other time

11:05 am

12:32 pm

Nokia's are invincible.....

12:32 pm

I'm pretty certain Nokia are the ones which last forever...google each one though, read consumer reviews...definitely a good idea, as some phones are just trouble.

LOL, FMitch; can't wear those in the house, my dad's very traditional :) Lol, if I did, I'd have them confiscated! Or BURNED. And I just can't do that to my babies.

4:02 pm

Well, now I am imaging something all-together fantastic!

4:02 pm

Thanks Becca. Bye and Happy Christmas phandmd

hey, peeps

Never allow your dad to see your shoes Nancy - it's aginst the law o burn high heels!!

4:03 pm

Herin, I've been at the pre-pre-pre-Christmas parties :) believe it or not, one was at the end of November...:)

HI Tyger

4:03 pm

Hey tyger...

Wow Nancy.

Hi Tyger. Tinsel sprinkle

4:03 pm

Guys, high heels are so uncomfortable! I can't wear them for very long at all.

4:04 pm

Neither can I ..

I used to hate heels but I love them now!

4:04 pm

Same here Uni, haven't worn heels for about 4 years, am learning how to all over again, such a laugh.

LOL torgone! And hello

4:04 pm

I never will, Becca!! He's also not allowed to look in my wardrobe; he'd have to double his blood pressure tablets if he did.

4:04 pm

Easy once you try, Torgone ;)

I useta wear heels, but had to stop about 15 years ago, when my back began to get worse :(

4:04 pm

Hey torgone!

LOL Nancy!

4:05 pm

Hi-de-ho-ho-ho!

you're very festive today, herin :)

4:06 pm

hi all!

earlier this year I found a beautiful pair of pewter-colored leather flats with beading on the toes. That's about as fancy as I can get with heels these days

4:06 pm

I al already 5 foot 10...my bf is only 5 foot. We don't need heels, 'cept on him! :) It hurts my feet too much, I am a fan of flats. Cute flats though

hey, snap

H snap

I am. Its actually Christmas day and im in a delightfully irritating happy mood.

4:06 pm

Evening Snap

HI Snap

yay, herin! :D I'm delighted it's so. you've seemed to be struggling too often lately

Uni, at only 5 foot 1, I need all the height I can get!

4:07 pm

lol herin Christmas will do that

4:07 pm

Uni I saw earlier today that LoriP did accept Haz's gift, was happy to see that.

I used to be a hair under 5'8", but I wore heels proudly

4:07 pm

Well, no heels for pregnant ladies, way too dangerous! :)

that was *tall* for a femme, back when I was young

4:08 pm

Yep...Mum and I went pro together, both by sponsorship. We are so happy and appreciative...looking for ways to pass it on

4:08 pm

Uni, as long as they're cute, shoes are ALWAYS delightful :D

absolutely, Uni! already enough pressure on the low back

I can still wear them at the mo - not waddling yet!

4:08 pm

tyger I'm 6' and wear 3" or so heels now

well, just don't do it too long, becca :)

4:08 pm

Also a bigger tripping danger, aside from the damage they automatically due to the feet and back

really, FM? you don't have the 'look' of a tall woman in your photo

Yess Tyger *looks down at feet*

4:09 pm

Oh Fmitch...you sound so glamorous at 6 feet in your snazy dress with 3 inch heels!

Uni's right becca :) just don't do it too long, luv

I only wear them for special occasions - not everyday - can't be bothered with that!

I love when a tall woman has the courage to "flaunt it"

4:10 pm

Tall enough to be a supermodel, FMitch ;) I have to go back to visit my relatives in Korea; I can't talk to them, but I always feel tall there :)

Tyger i have new pics in my icon

4:10 pm

I love being tall, always have. I need to skinny up a bit more before I can flaunt the beauty of height!

I know, I won't be wearing them much longer anyway, my back is already starting to ache wth flats on

has everybody finished the grid? I came in for a bit, thinking someone might need clues

how far along are you, becca?

4:11 pm

I finished this morning Tyger, give a shout

Nowhere near finishing tyger - too busy chatting!

4:11 pm

Glamerous,? than you! 'Fraid I am *clears thraot* a little too old for that but I love you for saying it.

oh, yeah. nice poses, kiddo! :)

LOL, becca

4:12 pm

Oh come off it, FMitch! A woman's beauty is timeless ;)

Only 10 weeks tyger, which is why I can keep the shoes for a bit

4:12 pm

That is so nice Tyger! but I'm just getting started

4:12 pm

Did everyone know that NancyBoy is my bestest best friend *grin*

absotively posilutely not after 4 months, becca, and you shouldn't go that long, okay? (motherly tone)

no, FM, didn't know that.

4:13 pm

Fmitch, Lori wants you to know that "there is a conspiracy of kindness (or so she and I feel) and we want to thank you for your part in it" ((She has the boys on Santa Tracker, so I speak for her))

OK tyger - to be honest, I prob won't have occasion to wear them again now anyway

4:13 pm

<<matches FMitch's grin>> BEST friends. C:

Becca hands you a comfy pair of Ugg boots

4:13 pm

And congratulations, Becca! :)

4:13 pm

I think that nancy boy should be my best friend too! **pouts in corner**

Ooh, nice and cosy. Thanks herin :)

4:14 pm

Uni! You look great =)

Thanks Nancy Boy. Very excited about it, but would love to stop feeling sick!

4:14 pm

Ladies, ladies. There is more than enough Nancy Boy to go around ;) Just form an orderly queue. No pushing.

Uggs are surely comfy, but I doubt I could ever bring myself to wear them

4:14 pm

Merrry Xmas Eveeerybudy!

4:14 pm

Well, some pushing.

Hi Moon!

4:14 pm

Uni please say Happy Christmas and best wishes to Lori for me.

4:15 pm

**shoves to the front of the line anyway, panting**

hey, woof! and a very merry to you, too!

4:15 pm

Hey Moon! Lori and I have been sponsored, maybe to help you keep your sanity??

4:15 pm

Hiya Becca and tyger. Hope you're both having a great day.

Becca a friend of mine carried her one up front and she swore by Ugg boots.

HI Moon

4:16 pm

It's true. =) Sprite and I had the HARDEST time not saying anything. {{grin}}

4:16 pm

LOL, thanks Uni :D

4:16 pm

Heya lady

I think they will be too hot by July though Herin

herin, the baby was a girl??

4:16 pm

I don't think I could ever bear to put them on my feet. Actually, I know that unless some insane situation which I can't even imagine coming up does, I will never wear them

4:16 pm

Right I only popped in to say Hi and Bye, Hugs Nancy and look after that ankle dear! HAve a great day tomorrow all and see you soon in BabbleLand.

Uni, what's your Chinese zodiac sign?

Merry Christmas FMitch!!!!

later, FM

4:17 pm

Moon - Was there anyone who didn't know? I am feeling super out of the loop

4:17 pm

I am a cusper - Leo and Virgo

4:17 pm

((HUGS)) See ya, FMitch :) x <<shakes the jingle bells>>

4:17 pm

Waittt a sec, Uni. Did Ata sponsor Lori, too??

I didn't know Uni!

4:17 pm

Wait. Oh. Paying attention.

4:17 pm

She was NOT supposed to...

4:17 pm

chinese zodiac - dragon

that's western astro, babe. Chinese goes by year of birth

oh. I thought somehow you'd be a sheep, like me :)

4:18 pm

And by element.

4:18 pm

No, Haz did Lori, Ata did I...Seriously though. Did everyone know?? **smiling in joy**

4:18 pm

Merry Christmas Eve everyone!

4:18 pm

For instance, I am an "Iron Rat"

HI Lori - Merry Christmas!

isn't it absurd? that a sheep would so love tigers :P

4:19 pm

Well... I guess Sprite and I are gonna have to gift someone else then. DRAT

4:19 pm

Becca, all the ebst to ya!

hey, lori, Merry Christmas to you, too

4:19 pm

*Waves at Lori from the distance*

4:19 pm

Lol...I think more absurd is that in western i am the virgin and the lion. Contradiction?

4:19 pm

Same to you and yours tyger.

4:19 pm

Well, prolly. Haz and Sprite had a really hard time. They kept talking about it. =P

4:19 pm

Moon, how do you know the element? It's shameful that I ask you this, as I actually come from ancestry in the orient. But all I know is that I'm a horse :)

thx, lori

4:20 pm

FMitch!!!!! I think that this may truly be your fault..... :-) In the nicest possible way. :-)

I'm a horse too Nancy!!

4:20 pm

Well Lori...we gotta blame her no matter what!

4:20 pm

Isn't anyone else a dragon? **feels left out**

4:20 pm

Ah, the element is derived from what season you're born in the year of what animal. I had a web page link 4Ever ago... I'll look for it.

4:20 pm

There were actual tears. Conspiracy of kindness, made my whole year.

It's always FMitch's fault!

4:20 pm

<<high fives Becca>>

lemme look it up. I think my son is

4:20 pm

Thanks, Moon :)

4:20 pm

Oh yeah Uni? Try being the only Rat =P

*high fives back at Nancy*

4:21 pm

I ain't nothin' but a hound dog.

4:21 pm

The internet says I am an earth dragon...

4:21 pm

*Faint voice in the distance from a departing FMitch... Happy christmas all ... * Poof xx

Hi Vicuna. Merry Christmas!!

4:21 pm

Merry Xmas Lori. You look SSOOOO much better without the big ears.

4:21 pm

Oh Fmitch **sighs**

4:21 pm

The youngest is Santa Tracking, with norad, so I must be off. just wanted to wish everyone all the best. It's been a fabulous day.

4:21 pm

Hello, Becca, and everyone!

4:22 pm

Mery xmas Mitch!

Happy Christmas FMitch

LORI you went pro

http://tinyurl.com/yoj9go Tyger this is my before and after shoots so far. These are the clean ones

4:22 pm

4:23 pm

Howdy, howdy. Merry, merry.

Yah lori

4:23 pm

Cya Lori! Mery Xmas

4:24 pm

You, too Vic

4:24 pm

Looks like I'm a metal horse :)

oh, I'm a water sheep - that goes well with my Virgo LOL

loris no longer nekid icon girl

how do you find he element bit?

Tyger: http://tinyurl.com/yoj9go update photos

4:25 pm

Well there you go Tyger...we might not share the chinese, but our western predictions are aligned!

4:25 pm

Oh. I forgot about my Xmas present for the girls. Drat. brb

4:25 pm

Awww, now to me, a metal horse sounds quite threatening.

4:26 pm

I am rather intimidated Nancy...**returns to end of line** :)

4:26 pm

I checked out my sign and am a RAT

4:26 pm

<<hugs>>Oh Uni, I'm more of a water rabbit :')

Well it seems I'm an earthy horse

4:27 pm

Then Inge, you are imaginative, charming and generous :)

okay, herin, I'll read later, K? :)

4:28 pm

imaginative is correct, the other stuff is an off and on trait

4:28 pm

Well, now that we all know so much about each other's horoscopes, can we have the pillowfight and pigtails?

LOL, Uni

4:28 pm

Oh Uni. I've been WAITING for someone to ask. <<fluffs pillow excitedly>>

Well not so much as a read but a look

4:28 pm

My earth dragon descriptors don't work for me very well at all. I was surprised.

No uni, or else Santa CLause won't come to our houses

inge, rats are very highly respected in Chinese astrology!

Nancy i read Metal as mental horse. Think i need more coffee

4:29 pm

Uni, you missed me,, the pillow flew right past me to the neighbors house

my sheep/goat/lamb descriptors are actually almost spot-on

4:29 pm

LOL, Herin! Now that -is- intimidating :'D

4:30 pm

**aims interestingly shaped pillow at Nancy boy - fires, then runs through the line of adoring fans**

4:30 pm

Yeah! I'm not the only Rat!

or at least in every one I've ever read thus far. haven't gone deeper into that site. takes too long away from the chat

keeping it up for later ;)

4:30 pm

after baking checkerboard cookies, three pumpkin pies, I am again on kitchen detail for supper. Is that what rats re suppsoed to do.>?

and thinking it's about time to change my icon again

checkerboard cookies, inge??

Speaking of Santa Claus - just realised I've left a bag full of stocking fillers in my bed and hubby has just gone up - time for me to go too. Night all and Merry CHristmas!

never heard of those

4:31 pm

<<Quietly begins filing a lawsuit against Uni>>

4:31 pm

Tyger - I am gonna look into it more at a later time as well. I am always interested in horoscopes

awwww, nancy

4:31 pm

Nite Becca! Have a merry day.

4:31 pm

Night night, Becca :) Merry Christmas!

4:32 pm

Aww, night Becca! Take care of you and yours

4:32 pm

Sadly, none of the chinese sites I've looked at so far are breaking down the elements. Thats Lame.

4:32 pm

Tyger, you should've seen the shape of the pillow! I have never been more OFFENDED in my seventeen years :O

in general, Uni, I've found that Western birth signs are often fairly accurate. however, the daily stuff, even if cast personally, usually are crap

4:32 pm

Well...If I had thought that you were going to be so offended, I would have thrown two! :)

oh, really? that bad?

4:32 pm

Yeah, right. A guy who's "offended" by a pillow fight LOL

4:33 pm

LOL, Uni :DD

NIght Becca

4:33 pm

The general descriptors of virgo are very accurate for me...with a few leo traits as well. However, like you said, the day to day is useless...

4:34 pm

Moon, I'm only delicate! :')

did becca leave? I missed it. if not, later, becca

4:34 pm

Hmm. I'll have to dig around some.. But, for instance, "metal" should be broken down into iron, bronze and silver...

absolutely, woof. metal is too generic

4:35 pm

Of COURSE you are, Nancy. I never suggested otherwise. Until just now.

gold /= lead!!

4:35 pm

I like that I am earth..although what I read didn't work for me, as I am highly emotional...but I am afraid of change! Lol

4:35 pm

I can't quite recall all of it, tyger, sorry. It's been a long time.

Uni, have you ever had your birth chart properly constructed? You may have a bunch of planets in air or water (as I do)

4:36 pm

I don't even know what a birth chart is..sounds interesting though

Nancy when we did a role playing game my house had a horse that was 30 hands high and was a Ghoul it was very mentally impressive

4:36 pm

LOL, Moon. Now you mention it, I did have a pillow fight when I went camping with some guy friends. Sadly, they all profess to be straight. Being out the closet myself, I'm sure I know better ;)

4:36 pm

The most "accurate" of the astrology stuff I found was a natal chart.

4:36 pm

As I said, horoscopes fascinate me as part of the nature/nurture battle, and the brutal honesty of them

4:36 pm

Gosh, I left when the drunken pirate rum-party began, and come back in on a pillow fight! Nancy Boy!! Delighted to see you dear... how are you? Happy holidays to Lady, tyger, moon and all... Uni, so nice to see you and Mom are now officially "Pro"!

You hafta know your exact time of birth (and location) and then take an ephemeris to figure out what planets are above the horizon, and what signs they're in

4:37 pm

SCARLET! I have been waiting for you ALL DAY! Lori and I wanted to wish you a very merry Christmas!!!!

4:37 pm

Merry Xmas red!

thx, scarlet, and same back to ya!

Hi and Merry CHristmas Tinsel sprinkle Scarlet

4:37 pm

Merry Christmas, Scarlet!! I'm fabulous, of course ;) but managed to damage my ankle in my eagerness to pop some pressies under the tree!

4:37 pm

Moonie-Poo!! Happy, happy! :-)

4:38 pm

Scarlet!!!! I wrestled a puter away from a Sanata tracking 7 year old, to hug you!

4:38 pm

Oh, tyger, make sure she has her latitude and longitude, it makes it easier to use the eph.

4:38 pm

Tyger, I have all that info...I am gonna check into that at some point, sounds fascinating!

UNIQUity welcome to Pro doom sorry i didn't read your name right

woof, I did say location! :)

4:38 pm

Tyger... so happy, happy! Thank you, Lady... Lori, dearest, you are a pro and I was waiting for a hug... backatcha dear lady!!

4:38 pm

***everybody talk to Scarlet all at once again,....LOL***

Tackle Lori and talk her ear off so you are not alone

4:39 pm

Well, yes, but when *I* went to go do it I knew the "where" but not the Location of the "where" LOL

4:39 pm

Thankee Herin...I am easy to overlook in my rantings! :)

4:39 pm

No problem... I have a full belly and empty head... so, pile it on!! LOL

Uniquity i so your name as the other Uni

4:40 pm

Anyways, real life and all that, but I had to pop in and say hi to all, and give Scarlet a hug! Have fun all! Merry Christmas!

4:40 pm

Nancy did you seriously get a pair of Blahnik? Also for you

4:48 pm

I am so happy...so amazingly happy, thank you all for your gifts

5:09 pm

5:09 pm

Stid, I've been partying like it's 1999! :D But I've broken my ankle in a foolish outburst of xmas merriment, so I'm indoors this evening :)

I have 8 left and losing patience!

5:10 pm

I wish I wasn't already sick so I could enjoy this a bit more...but a bit of wine and rum makes the throat stop hurting so I feel better, surprisingly!

5:10 pm

oh no! *shudder* well, stay OFF the ankle, do what the doc says and DON'T push yourself. Do you have someone to fetch and carry for you?

5:11 pm

oh oh Uniquity! so sorry you are not completely well.

5:11 pm

5:11 pm

Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate it!!

5:12 pm

5:13 pm

LOL, Stid!

5:13 pm

5:15 pm

5:15 pm

5:16 pm

My idealism would like to stretch that good will throughout the year across the continents... but, I am reallistic, so I'll take whatever peace is here...

5:16 pm

5:16 pm

I hear ya scarlet

5:17 pm

*Incoming salmon at Stid's head*

5:17 pm

well, we celebrate the solstice in our family, but maintain many of the familiar Christianized yule traditions... giving peace a chance in our family means not rocking the boat too much with the grandparents...

5:17 pm

the et 4/4 is killing me anyone?

5:17 pm

*urgh* thanks for the fish...

5:17 pm

Just: it's a mountain...

5:37 pm

Feliz Navidad!

5:38 pm

5:38 pm

5:38 pm

Or, Hawaiian, even! LOL

5:38 pm

YAY lil monkey!

5:39 pm

I keep looking for all the other babblers' langauges----India, KOrea, Finnish, where are they?

5:39 pm

frohliche Weihnacht, liebe inge!

5:40 pm

buon natale, i believe that's italian

5:40 pm

danke, stidmama, I loved the two chapters and expect two per week ffrom now on!!!\

5:41 pm

we had Argentinian earlier today,

5:41 pm

I hope to write another one today, and each day until the kids (and I) return to school, inge, I think two a week is possible...

5:41 pm

whooopiee!

5:41 pm

yes, yanaina? I think her name was... It was nice to see spanish for a bit.

5:42 pm

yes, lil, that is italiano

5:42 pm

I keep going back to Santa tracker. Great fun

5:43 pm

Santa tracker?

5:44 pm

I can't even track the status of the laundry today (my dryer is starting to fail)... a laundry tracker would be nice.

5:48 pm

okay, I need to head out also. I hope everyone has a lovely evening, and if you celebrate tomorrow, may it be full of love and light. *poof*

5:49 pm

i'm just trying to keep track of my focus - have new contacts and am also using reading glasses....... i've joined the ranks of the bifocal users.....

5:49 pm

They are difficult to get accustomed to, arlen..

5:50 pm

hints - please onthe bifocals ----

5:52 pm

I had a bit of difficulty with sidewalks, and wayyyy overstepping the curbs at first... then I learned how to focus my eyes with the new double vision thing...

5:52 pm

I'm using the moving my head and and shifting the competer screen but I'm not sure what else to do... I've broken three cups so far

5:53 pm

that ounds like more fun - once I get teh glasses... oh well...... that's life

5:53 pm

LOL... at least you haven't broken a bone... you will find your own way... what works for my husband does not work for me... so, little by little, I learned, and then discovered I could not stand them...

5:54 pm

i haven't left the house with them yet..... absolutely terrified of what'll happe when I'm driving

5:54 pm

So now I use glasses for reading, crocheting and using the computer, and my distance vision has improved fivefold... the eye doctor told me that it happens frequently... one of the few good things about aging... LOL

5:55 pm

You will come to be comfortable with them, arlen... how long are you wearing them now?

5:55 pm

about 4 hours a day.....

5:56 pm

WEre you advised to lengthen the wearing times each day?

5:56 pm

yep..by an hour each day -yesterday was three.

5:56 pm

Maybe the cup mortality rate will wind down too... LOL

5:58 pm

i hope so..... it's not so much them breaking - i ahve lots...but the finding all the pieces...... the contacts fix the long distance and reading glasses fix the short-b but there's still the middle ground....

5:59 pm

My daughter has serious vision problems, and she is seeing so much better with her contacts... her glasses have a prisim to enable her sight to be stronger...

5:59 pm

hello all and happy (fill in the blank with your holiday). does anyone have a clue for the H in the middle of the first column? it must be a weird one, HW or HN?

5:59 pm

I sorry bernice- I'm still looking for that one

5:59 pm

Hi, BQ!! Happy _+__ back! :-) Yes, it's an hw4/9

6:00 pm

thanks scarlet. btw, i LOVE your icon. where did you find it?

6:00 pm

(got the HW, thanks)

6:00 pm

HW + hugging **d kissing! Thank you, Bernice! I went searching the net the other night and looked for about two hours to find it on Google!

6:01 pm

well worth the two hours. i'm going to send it to my mom. she'll love it.

6:01 pm

I am sort of universal in my love of mankind, and whatever faith system anyone embraces... and did not want to ignore nor specify any one group...

6:02 pm

scarlet -I think it's great.

6:02 pm

and supposedly, each faith promotes peace, though some people so horrible things under the flags of their religions. nice to be reminded of the real purpose of these faiths

6:03 pm

Okay, Bernice... I put "Peace on Earth" in the Google image search engine, so you will find it there... Thank you, arlen!! Hope you find it, Bernice!

6:03 pm

i actually already copied it from your profile, thanks

6:03 pm

LOL... you're quick! I love that you will pass it along to your mom...

6:04 pm

Happy Christmas all!

6:04 pm

Clue for the ca 7 please

6:04 pm

Hello, and happy holidays, witchy!! :-)

6:05 pm

Witchy, what Sherlock Holmes wore over his shoulders... or a magician wears, + not by sea, but by ***d

6:05 pm

6:05 pm

Or, the easy way, LOL ca4/6 + not by sea...etc.,,

6:05 pm

thanks

6:05 pm

You're welcome.

6:07 pm

6:07 pm

6:08 pm

na 5/12 --- I just can't see it

6:08 pm

6:09 pm

Sounds exactly like having hit a metal thing with a hammer, arlen...

6:09 pm

6:09 pm

6:11 pm

Fordy, weren't you the one who celebrated your first fireworks on October 15th?

6:11 pm

yes scarlet :)

6:12 pm

I thought so! How is your completion rate these days... are you hopelessly hooked like the rest of us? LOL

6:12 pm

scarlet - not getting it - to me that usually sounds like 'BOONG'

6:13 pm

A long thin metal thing that gets banged into wood with a hammer is a NA**, then add the past tense ending...

6:13 pm

Sorry, take out the second vowel...

6:14 pm

glurph..... not I got's it

6:14 pm

6:14 pm

Yippety!

6:14 pm

new eyes- can't do a thing with them

6:14 pm

i try not to get too obsessed with these things because they can really take over :P

6:15 pm

There are so many of us who just have to play daily... I hear you, Fordy...

6:15 pm

I know what you are saying Ford - I 'm working on the same thing.

6:17 pm

if I start playing I can't stop ..... and then nothing else gets done

6:17 pm

I have learned to integrate my housework and other obligations... some days, when it is huge, that works in my favor.

6:20 pm

Any other clues needed before I go watch football? Must...have... my... NFL!

6:20 pm

The game starts at 8 tonight because it's the Eve...

hi scrabbler

9:28 pm

doug and i opened pressies too already. tomorrow is all about the boys

9:29 pm

2 phantom words for me today were deepen and planets.

before i go, if anyone wants some different holiday music to listen to, go to wxpn.org and listen to their stream/ bye!

9:29 pm

I am listening to music from the Christian radio station in Bath, NY--near Featherbee!

9:30 pm

good range!

i heard the greatest play today by a group called groovelily called striking twelve, baed on little match girl. it was awesome!

9:31 pm

scrabbler, your turn...i'm still waiting to get rid of some letters before i tell you what move i had planned earlier!

9:31 pm

I am listening to the sounds of silence. My loud niece and nephew finally went to bed and all the company has left!

yay for you min! *poof*

9:31 pm

lol, Min, that's my favorite sound!

9:31 pm

The rest of the family went to church and I am babbling!

9:32 pm

ah silence... all I hear is the sound of people passing the office... maybe i should turn on some music? nah

9:32 pm

what kind of work do you do icepyro?

9:32 pm

OK, feather, I will go there.

9:33 pm

IT

9:33 pm

yippee!

9:33 pm

Hope God forgives for Babbling instead of going to church

9:33 pm

ahh, you and DC have somethings in common then.

9:33 pm

Min, say a few hail marys when you get a word. I'm sure he is very forgiving

9:34 pm

being holiday tho, most people are off, and now this late half of those left are probably gone

9:34 pm

so, you're basically just babysitting the office.

9:35 pm

Wish I could get paid to Babble! Cannot babble at my job

9:35 pm

just in case someone can't turn on a printer or something yeah

9:35 pm

for another 20ish minutes

9:35 pm

i want to get paid to babble too. or rather to play babble! lol

9:36 pm

im probably not supposed to babble, but what is there to do when noone is around to break something?

9:36 pm

we'd all be rich :)

9:36 pm

Where are you from icepyro? It is 10:36 here in Vermont

9:36 pm

Im in cali

9:37 pm

well, i'm rich with the company of so many great people. too bad that doesn't pay the bills.

9:37 pm

They changed the filters at my work so now babble is off limits to play even on free time

9:37 pm

very true lb

9:37 pm

IT hours are 8am-8pm and being the n00b means i get the later shift and weekends

9:37 pm

Then that does make sense that you are still at your job

9:38 pm

lol onyx, Im blessed with a company who only outright bans myspace and that can be accessed in the break area

9:38 pm

Hi onyx! How are you doing? Merry Christmas Eve to you

9:39 pm

10:01 pm

For Poles, Christmas Eve is a time of family gathering and reconciliation. It's also a night of magic: Animals are said to talk in a human voice and people have the power to tell the future. The belief was born with our ancestors who claimed that Dec. 24 was a day to mark the beginning of a new era.

10:06 pm

he seemed to miss Maryland alltogether :) guess I was naughty

10:07 pm

hola from Mexico, feliz navidad!

10:07 pm

Thankfully, most of Kristianna's gifts are books... now that she has read The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and we are reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory now, he has brought her Peter Pan to put into the lineup

10:08 pm

Feliz navidad, shdy!

10:10 pm

my oldest daughter slept with books instead of stuffed animals - she graduates from law school this month

10:10 pm

Now I just need to find an affordable source for all of the L Frank Baum Oz books.... not only for her, but so I can read them all too!

10:10 pm

Woulfie! Shady!

10:11 pm

10:11 pm

Congrats, saph -- Kristianna is like that too -- before we had to take the books out of the bedroom to keep them safe from Seb, she would keep a stack of them next to her bed so she could read them if she woke up before us in the am

10:12 pm

Poor Daniel.

10:12 pm

10:14 pm

I would be unable to perform my job duties in a bookstore.

10:14 pm

I became so intimately aware of just how many books were released each month and how little time I had to read them

10:14 pm

Merry Christmas Eve all!

10:14 pm

10:14 pm

10:15 pm

i'd love some help with the N, 2nd column, middle row....

10:16 pm

I consider my true crowning achievement to be that Seb will fight with Kristianna over the Dr Seuss books already -- it is gonna be tough keeping them in books as they grow older, but I think I am up to the challenge

10:16 pm
