12:37 am

hi dc, feeling better?

12:37 am

didn't see you arrive, flosey, but the flip was delayed for me -- had to refresh

12:38 am

for me too jilli, I had to refresh as well

12:38 am

no, flosey, went back to the doctor, who found multiple infectoins. I TOLD them two weeks ago i had an ear infection. ah, weel.

12:38 am

night all, finishing tomorrow

12:38 am

well, rather. wish i could sleep i'm really tired

12:39 am

sorry to hear dc.....same thing happened to my son :(

12:39 am

nite crpw sweet dreams

12:39 am

well, the flu is gone, at least, flosey, but i missed class again tonight, thursday, and will likely not work today, friday.

12:40 am

ah, so i'm not alone, ty, mar, that actually makes me feel a tad better :)

12:40 am

well thankful for that dc

12:40 am

must be an international thing :(

12:40 am

have never had ear infection but sounds painful

12:40 am

indeed, flosey, at least i have some nergy.

12:40 am

sometimes the patient knows more than the docs

12:40 am

as an adult, not nearly as painful as when i was young, but yes.

12:40 am

flosey, I'm near tears of pain just thinking about it

12:41 am

sometimes, but not always.

12:41 am

I hear there's a lot of the real flu in the US -- a strain that escaped the vaccine

12:41 am

no, but here are 2 instances :(

12:41 am

sure, it happens

12:41 am

yes, jilli, influenza Strain B

12:41 am

Yes, it has gone around 'bout everyone I know, but we're all young and healthy, so it's more of an inconvenience than anything else

12:41 am

my niece in Woodstock Ont, has it and had flu shot

12:42 am

I know about earaches -- age 5 had scarlet fever, went to the ears -- no antibiotics back then so had 5 mastoid operations

12:42 am

hmmm Sam......what's young? lol

12:42 am

We're mostly in our thirties. At today's life expectancy we haven't even hit midlife yet

12:43 am

how awful, jill, that must have been

12:43 am

well many here right now have passed that decade decades ago lol

12:43 am

old is 15 years older than you are

12:43 am

sounds very painful jilli

12:43 am

Yepyepyep. I'm young. And lucky.

12:43 am

lol jilli

12:43 am

it's amazing how 'old age' keeps getting older eh jilli

12:43 am

hm. i don't perceive 52 as old, though i see the point, jill

12:44 am

ohhh you'll get there too Sam so enjoy......goes by very quickly

12:44 am

of course, much of my family lives intho their 90s or so. My personal goal is 105.5

12:44 am

I'm old enough to be sleepy at this time of night. Time for bed. G'night all.

12:44 am

g'night, samantha

12:45 am

night Sam.....have a great sleep

12:45 am

sleep sweet, samantha

12:45 am

goodnight sam, sweet dreams

12:45 am

grah. i can make many words with these letters--but i have to rearrange the letters to do so!

12:45 am

It was no fun and my parents were really worried, they told me later. One op went near the trigeminal nerve and they anxiously watched me wake up because it might have left me with half a paralysed face. My mother said they were never so glad to see me cry because I did it with both sides

12:45 am

yes so NEED to flip board around

12:46 am

night sam!

12:46 am

wow jilli, what a relief for your parents

12:46 am

i can imagine what a relief that must have been for them.

12:46 am

wow jilli...it's been a helluva ride so far, eh? so many advances during your lifetime and so much more to come too!

12:46 am

got that it7 at last!

12:47 am

go, jilli!

12:47 am

have never seen it spelled that way

12:47 am

british spelling, flosey

12:47 am

we in NA kept the Z, in Britain it changed.

12:47 am

oh, thanks dc

12:47 am

british? thought American.

12:48 am

flosey, that's Brit spelling -- lots of words with that ending spelt that way

12:48 am

no, we use the Z in those endings

12:48 am

lol i thought brit/canadian

12:48 am

oh we keep the zed here too

12:48 am

heh. the lack of z totally gave me that word

12:48 am

thanks

12:48 am

canadian is a mishmash

12:48 am

lol jes

12:48 am

lol, sure is

12:49 am

i know. i key in on bizarre things.

12:49 am

I don't use the zed in such words.

12:49 am

yes maybe so jilli but my formal education taught me z only so I miss many words cause of that

12:49 am

yes, but you're from britain originally

12:49 am

lol ---- scrolling back at chat - the brits had the right way of spelling first dc lolol

12:49 am

there is a -our spelling on the board....maybe should start looking for colour and favour etc :)

12:49 am

yes, dc, and a bit stubborn

12:50 am

lol dc.....without the u I'm lost

12:50 am

nothing wrong with having some british blood in ya lol

12:51 am

ive got 1 8 letter...any more....or any longer than that?

12:51 am

a friend of mine who grew up in England, and started programming at 9, used to get in trouble for writing color instead of colour. Tells you how much time he spent coding. LOL

12:51 am

i am just not seeing long words tonight.

12:51 am

only 1 8, no longer.

12:51 am

only 1 eight dart

12:51 am

well Dartie hasn't called fireworks yet so getting a bit nervous here lol

12:51 am

6 x 7 20 x 6 48 x 5 75 x 4

12:51 am

well, actually I'm bi(tri?)lingual -- had US education too so when in Rome had to do as the Romans did

12:52 am

ive just managed to hit halfway

12:52 am

due to working for many multinational companies, my spelling at this point is a blend, a sort of 'international' english.

12:52 am

so dont expect miracles from me tonite lol

12:52 am

stalled out at 83

12:52 am

it is a bit scary that dart isn't done

12:53 am

don't think I've added a word in last 10 or so minutes

12:53 am

good for you, kiwi -- I blab too much

12:53 am

i'm at 88 right now; still short a q and w, both of which i usually zip right through.

12:53 am

perhaps bedtime

12:53 am

so you yanks ( I know I know but we say it for the whole 50) use the zed, err zee instead of the S?

12:53 am

tho i do have all the corners done lol

12:53 am

I've noticed that, dc and find it charming

12:53 am

yes, just, we do

12:53 am

the w's were not bad, dc. i'm missing a q still though

12:54 am

oh my at 94 and late flip but I dead in my tracks right about now

12:54 am

i learned zed from my family, who came to Ohio from Montreal

12:54 am

have these 7's...which am i missing am , it, re , re , to ?

12:54 am

oh really dc? French heritage?

12:55 am

sorry dart i have those too no more

Heo

12:55 am

kinda sorta, great-grandpa was a german jew who spoke french, who moved to Montreal to learn english from the anglophone jewish community.

Hello even Dratted L got stuck

12:55 am

heo herin

12:55 am

sorry dart .....I have only 2 7's lol

12:55 am

hiya herin happy babbling

12:56 am

mom's mom's mom's mom was from Paris, from which i got some songs and mirepoix

12:56 am

oh so you are jewish still?

12:56 am

so you've read Mordecai Richler, dc?

12:56 am

i've got those 7s, too, dart.

12:56 am

i can understand quebecois, but i don't speak very well.

12:56 am

err still part of the mishbucha?

12:56 am

long ago, jill, yes.

12:57 am

quebecois is to French what Southern USA English is to the Queen's English lol

12:57 am

no, jewish/catholic/lutheran on mom's side, native american on dad's. sister and i both came out with the native american, but bits of jewish and xian traditions, like pesach, shiva, and xmas. we're both Unitarian Universalists at this point, too.

Hello back. I have the Eye of Bast for Mr Pres. There will be Bastet Icons for her till she returns home

12:58 am

but that's the way it should be...language that is constantly evolving

12:58 am

yes, just. i remember at 18 having the epiphany that the French English, Spanish and Portuguese of the Americas resemble each other more than we do our European cousins linquistically.

12:59 am

Southern English resembels Scots and Irish English

12:59 am

for sure and wow what an identity tree dc......wonderful!

DC you on yahooo?

12:59 am

I can understand people from Aberdeen with little difficulty

12:59 am

Some Quebec joual is derived from old Norman, I think.

12:59 am

yes, lady, i am, and aim and googletalk

12:59 am

oh, that would explain a lot, jill :)

1:00 am

it's still spoken here Jilli but not by many......they are dying off and the younger generation is quite sophisticated

Ok ill tell you something there

1:01 am

at work, we support people all across US, Canada, and Mexico. People under 40 in Quebec have much better english than most of those older than that.

1:02 am

yes for sure because the world has become much more globalized and they have tapped into that and understand that

1:02 am

just, I think joual still flourishes in places like Tadoussac where my hubby's family has summer places.

1:02 am

oddy, in Mexico, even along border, not as much English spoken. Part of that is sounds of Spanish and English much farther apart than French and English, i think.

1:03 am

yes it probably does but it is dying out

1:03 am

of course, even in the Quebec hinterland there is now TV and radio where better French is spoken.

1:04 am

when i was young, we could only get TV from Quebec where my family's summer place is in NY.

1:04 am

I think that the internet with regards to the younger generations has helped that along

1:04 am

i used to watch my cartoons in French while i was there. I think that's part of why i comprehend better than i speak.

1:04 am

indeed, just

1:05 am

but there were local english stations too ...the CBC in both languages and depending on your age..ctv....

1:05 am

this was in the 70s

1:05 am

where was your summer place dc?

1:06 am

but still -- tabarouette, câlinne-de-binne, etc...

1:06 am

CTV was in place for sure at that time

OH i got the 8 no help woot

1:06 am

one in Dundalk, one up near Plattsburgh

1:06 am

lol jilli

1:06 am

go, lady!

1:06 am

No English stations anywhere near Tadoussac

1:06 am

Plattsburgh I know well but never heard of Dundalk

1:07 am

Dundalk is in Wetern NY, below Buffalo, in Chautauqua County, on Lake Erie

1:07 am

oh ok that's why then lol

1:07 am

good for you, herin -- I still need it

1:08 am

think fractions jilli

Jill do you want a clue? (not glue which is what i first wrote)

1:08 am

1:37 am

I remember, just! I also remember snow in April...

Really good. I sent Mr Pres a letter

sprite, I have a question for you... once you have joined facebook, how do I find the games & what group do the babblers use?

1:37 am

but daffodils will be out soon here

1:37 am

here too, dc

1:38 am

well at least in april we don't get the -30 temps so let it snow lol

The seasons are changing here

1:38 am

we're BabblersWorldwide in facebook, might be with a space

1:38 am

Hi Everyone!

ty dc

1:38 am

hi marmar

1:38 am

the babblers can be found at Babblers Worldwide. Easiest is when another babbler invites you to the real fun games, I think.

1:38 am

Guten Morgen, Marmar!

HI Marmar

1:39 am

hi Marmar

1:39 am

on the news tonight they said that this year...with the amount of snow we've received and the frigid temps in between the snowfalls, the snow dump sites won't be cleared of snow til August!!!!!

1:39 am

so please tell me again about global warming, LOL.

1:40 am

hi MarMar my namesake!

1:40 am

oh, i lived through a winter like that in Boston, it was amazing watching it melt in the dums through the summer.

Brrr. The weather turned and i have a 5 foot pile of laundry

1:40 am

not here spritey :(

1:40 am

I am sorry for you, 1Mar, but happy for the world as a whole ;)

1:40 am

think I'd rather have a 5ft pile of snow lol (which I do)

1:41 am

it's much warmer here. We get in March what used to be April, and what was October doesn't arrive untill Nov or early Dec anymore.

1:41 am

hey ladies, we are in the grid!

1:41 am

well the last 3 or 4 winter's here were wussy ones spritey....guess we were due

Id rather have a five foot pile of washing

1:42 am

well, looks like you are both blessed then :)

1:42 am

and it'll be just fine if we get a beautiful spring and summer

1:42 am

oh, fyi, as it came up elsewhere, my name, seain, is pronounced as shane. :)

1:42 am

uppss, phone rang as soon as I sent greeting. Hope everyone is well, or continues getting well!

1:42 am

I knew that, dc!

1:42 am

had i told you before, sprite?

1:43 am

same to you, Marmar.

1:43 am

dc, do you prefer seain or dc? I asked before but didn't see the answer.

1:43 am

no. But I have come across your name before and I remembered.

1:43 am

you may have mentioned it once or twice dc lol! (jk)

Thanks for that clue too Sprite

1:43 am

yw lady :)

1:43 am

ditto Sprite, hadn't seen it!

1:43 am

whichever you prefer, jilli, dc is certainly easier to type :)

1:43 am

Hi Lady!

1:44 am

and to you too, marmar, danke.

1:44 am

this long cold snowy winter has been messing with my mind, so don't mind me!

1:44 am

hehehe, we are kinda hidden, but irrepressable.'

Hi Mar. I guessed you ducked off like i do

1:44 am

ok, dc -- I'm lazy :)

1:44 am

I have a nasty headache this morning. Might call for coffee.

1:45 am

but seain is cool

1:45 am

very cool

Sprite water not coffee unless you are an addict to the stuff

1:45 am

DC, Seain is irish isn't it? I agree Jilli, very cool!

1:45 am

Hello!

HI Carra

1:45 am

Hi Herin!

1:46 am

Hiya carra

1:46 am

ideed it is, marmar, though the ancestor who we thought was from Ireland admitted on her deathbed she lied to immigration, and was actually from the Clwyd Valley of Wales. LOL

1:46 am

hi, carra!

1:46 am

Carra Mia! Good morning (is it morning for you?)

1:46 am

not for me, lady. The only thing that helps when I have a bad headache is coffee. And I am not an addict nor have I ever been... 2 cups a day is max for me and most days I don't reach that amount at all.

1:46 am

Im done with this winter weather! I feel "blah" not motivated to do much

1:46 am

Hi Justmar, DC, Marmar.. ( early early morning... 247am)

1:46 am

lol dc! I remembered because there was a difference between sean and seain.

1:46 am

Hi Sprite!

Sprite I used to be a snarly itch without my coffee

1:47 am

yes, mine is the possesive.

1:47 am

yaaawwwn -- thinking about bed

1:47 am

Isn't it funny DC, what we know, and more, what we don't know about our ancestors!

1:47 am

caffeine helps with headaches

1:47 am

same time here carra

1:47 am

still think it's evening tho

1:48 am

indeed, marmar :) though once we learned that, we could finde the words we knew in the Welesh dictionaries, which we never could in the Irish ones. LOL

1:48 am

for you too, dc? I always feel like a freak, but it is the only thing that helps.

1:48 am

so needing lickety at this point 45 left and basically toast

JIll i love your icon story. 2000 was a leap year cause it was divisible by 4

1:48 am

I took a nap.. fell asleep watching tv lol at 6 woke up at little before 8 . Which I really didnt want to do but just happened

1:49 am

the pieces fell together in a way then! My families heritage on my dad's side is a little murky but some family members are working on it and finding some intersting stuff.

1:49 am

I think you needed it, carra

1:49 am

i take excedrin from my migranes, 250mg aspirin, 250mg acetominophin, an 65mg caffeine

1:49 am

herin, 2000 was NOT a leap year because it was divisible by 400!

1:49 am

I think its just this weather.. its always gloomy

That was something i read.

1:50 am

no, will was a leap year because divisible by 400

1:50 am

2000 was a leap year because it was divisible by 400, not 4.

1:50 am

anyone feel like cluing the w from the top left....I do have the wi 4,8

Ok so my math sucks

1:50 am

lol, seems we all love to share our knowledge of weird facts :)

Plural the Wi

1:51 am

TY Lady

I failed Basic Math. I don't even know my times tables due to moving

1:51 am

2000 WAS a leap year, that's right -- sorry (tired)

1:51 am

ty herein (says red faced) lol

1:51 am

Pretty icon photo 1Mar.

1:52 am

Oh thx marmar!

Thats ok

1:52 am

yes, marmar, my uncle found that 500 years ago, dad's dad's people patrilinerally were jews from friesland who moved to East Anglia; 250 years later, my line came to Virginia, then later Ohio, then back to Virginia.

1:52 am

Ah, Lady, there is hope! If you have children, you can learn along with them. I am learning and re-learning volumes daily!

1:52 am

if every year divisible by 4 was a leap years, we would have a minor difference over the ages. That is why they decided to correct it by excluding the full centuries, unless they were divisible by 400.

1:53 am

yay dc, so you have dutch roots :)

1:53 am

that's so trued marmar

1:53 am

I have one W from the upper left -- sounds like the palest of colours.

Thanks Sprite

1:53 am

the other one is the plural, jilli

1:53 am

indeed so, sprite :) our original family name was Gutreich

1:53 am

it is jilli now pluralize(pluralise?) it

1:54 am

Gutriech rather

1:54 am

ty, sprite -- forgot to change direction

1:54 am

(...looking up Friesland....)

1:54 am

hi, all. I am only barely on the planet. I spoke with my daughter last night....she is expecting her third child.

1:54 am

and lady, you are a smart person. Even if you schooling wasn't entirely up to stats, you are. And you are still learning!

1:54 am

herein helped me there on that one :)

1:54 am

hi angel!

1:54 am

sounds german, rather than dutch or Fries, dc!

Um Angel is that a good thing?

1:55 am

yay angel, congrats!

1:55 am

morning, angel, congrats on the news!

1:55 am

oh congrats and hi angel

SPrite i know i am smart in some things maths not so.

1:55 am

so Ws Walloped, as stid would say

1:55 am

Ithink it is a good thing.

1:55 am

i agree, sprite, though part of Friesland is in Germany, and part in Denmark. The people with that name today mostly live in The Nederlands

1:55 am

good for you, lady. Just wanted to check ;)

1:56 am

That's wonderful Angel!

Angel well congratulations to them. I hope this turns the corner for them

1:56 am

a part of Friesland in Germany??? Errrrrr.....

1:57 am

I am still recommending counseling for both of them.

1:57 am

and part in Denmark???

1:57 am

Dylan's 4th birthday was yesterday, and Ryan is a year old.

1:57 am

Ha, me to Jilli! (Walloped! great word)

1:57 am

ok, you have me baffled. To me, Friesland is in the Netherlands.

angel that is a good thing

1:58 am

you are blessed with grandchildren angel....:) this will not happen for me.

1:58 am

Sprite, you know about those moving borders from ages past....what am I saying, they are still changing from time to time

did anyone find the last 7?

1:59 am

I think they need counselling now even more, Angel... with all the added confusion of hormones out of control and later on disturbed sleeping.

1:59 am

Hello everyone!

HI Jandy

1:59 am

all the way to Denmark, Marmar?

1:59 am

The last seven, volley.... I only got two! LOL!

1:59 am

1:59 am

Hey herin, hey sprite!

1:59 am

hi jandy

2:00 am

Sorry, dag Sprite!

I only have 2 7s

2:01 am

hi, jandy

2:01 am

Hey Volley!

2:01 am

Hey Volley!

2:01 am

Or is that goodbye, Sprite?

2:01 am

2:01 am

Sprite, I'm looking for a historical map right now, that kind of stuff is SO interesting to me.

2:01 am

me too herein

2:01 am

hehehe Jandy, wonderful! Dag Jandy! Hoe is het?

2:01 am

i've not found any, lady

2:01 am

my daughter is also changing career paths. She plans to become a paralegal, instead of a nurse.

2:02 am

Erg goed, dank je wel!

2:02 am

no Jandy, it can be both. Hello and goodbye. Hello usually is goedendag.

2:02 am

yes, sprite, fisian, and the historic friesland, stretches from modern Netherlands to Denmark

2:02 am

so marvellous, seeing you speak dutch perfectly! I love it, Jandy!

2:02 am

I love those multipurpose greetings in another language. Just one thing to remember!

2:03 am

sounds almost German which sounds almost Yiddish

2:03 am

dc, I never knew that! Thanks :)

2:03 am

I have a little help, spritey! My clogwog friend is Babbling with me, as he often does!

2:04 am

definintion of clogwog?

2:04 am

I only have one 7 so far

2:04 am

Maybe I'm more multilingual than I thought, Just1Mar!

2:04 am

then I say: Hoi, leuk dat je er weer bent! Goed grid vandaag :)

2:04 am

Clog - pertaining to the fine Dutch people - Wog - atrocious Australian term for foreigner

2:05 am

lolol

2:05 am

It's so nice to listen to Dutch when you speak English and German, it's kind of like stepping stone between the two sometimes. Other times, I drown in confusion!

Shortened from Western Oriental Gentleman.

2:05 am

*giggles at clogwog* Sounds like Klukkluk, from Pipo de clown.

2:05 am

great word!

2:05 am

jandy, wog is brit too

2:05 am

Grid neit te moeijelijk!

2:05 am

Pipo de clown, as in the French Pipo?

2:06 am

Lots of things in Australia are British based, jilli, though there is more and more US influence

2:06 am

jilli which 7 do you have? maybe I can help you with another one

2:06 am

no, Pipo the Clown is totally dutch, dc. Very old kids' programme on TV.

2:06 am

watching Australian movies, in many ways, ur more like us than you think.

2:06 am

Close, Jandy! Niet te moeilijk, inderdaad!

2:06 am

ah, i've encounterd in French comic books

2:07 am

j's were on sale today, thought I would throw an extra one in!

2:07 am

just, I just gave the one I have -- it7/32 -- the source of all that zed discussion, lol!

2:07 am

Sprite, just found what looks like an interesting page on Friesland history if you are so inlcined: http://www.i-friesland.com/Hanseatic_L eague.htm

would you like me to list my 7's... I am missing one still... I have am 7, it 7, re 7 x 2, to.. anyone have the last one yet?

2:07 am

always appreciated, JJandy ;)

2:07 am

The clogwog's Dutch is somewhat rusty... he has a far more Australian accent than this British import!

2:08 am

and thanks Marmar, will check!

anyone know what the o in the last column starts with?

2:08 am

ok I have that also....the other one i have is .....to 7.....small city + middle joints of legs

2:08 am

Errrmmm. o?

2:16 am

Yes, but Australian EST, if that helps!

2:16 am

2:16 am

1Mar, I am getting up around the Flip and can be seen here at any time in the following 16 hours....

2:16 am

I do at all hours, just as my other chores allow

Night Just

2:17 am

2:17 am

hope y'all have a good one take care

2:17 am

I'm missing one Q. I have Q5/16, 4/7, 5/16, 5/16, 5/16, 6/27, 6/27, 8/55. What's missing?

2:17 am

1Mar, As I say to my kids: sleep with angels!

2:17 am

Sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite!

2:17 am

night just

2:17 am

has lickety finished the list yet?

2:18 am

Another 5/16, angel.

2:18 am

lickety has other things on his mind today, I am afraid.

No list or LIckety working or at the hospital/Family stuff?

2:18 am

another 5/16 after the monarch, angel

2:19 am

sprite, have you heard any more about mrp?

2:19 am

nothing yet, jilli. Am worried.

2:20 am

actually, it was the monarch I needed to finish the Q's.

2:20 am

Well, it will take time to get news, I think

Mr Pres was online this am. She was using the net cafe before treatment

2:20 am

oh lol, angel!

2:20 am

I'm out of the loop, has something happened to Mr. P?

sprite do you know what they decided to do for treatment?

Marmar Mr Pres arm is bad again shes in hospital getting it fixed. I have eye of bast for her

2:21 am

no, I have no idea, Dee. There was talk about antibiotics again, but am not sure that is what they decided upon in the end.

2:22 am

My goodness, I hadn't heard. I'm so sorry.

2:22 am

What Lickety said was three days in hospital with iv's and six months of home nurse care

my heart hurts for her... for them...

2:23 am

thanks BabbleRabble. Good to see you. It is incredibly tough on both of them.

2:23 am

They've have so many hurdles placed in front of them...God bless them.

ditto that marm

2:24 am

What a beautiful last verse that poem has, BR. And appropriate when times are tough!

2:24 am

I'm still missing a Q -- a 5/16, I think -- the 4th or 5th one maybe, probably before the repetition

2:25 am

I'm going to go back to bed. back later to finish, and I will also post Babble Stats for the month and year-to-date.

2:25 am

Total of 5 x 5/16 jilli

2:25 am

night angel, and thanks

2:25 am

Bye Angel!

2:25 am

bye Angel, sleep well

THanks Babbe

I sent her a letter today

2:25 am

Good night then angel! Sleep well

SOrry my L is stuck

2:27 am

Jandy, I know, and I'm missing one of them

2:27 am

Add a vowel to the 4/7? or do you have that one

Night ANgel

2:28 am

Jandy, you're right, that poem is beautiful, never read it completely.

2:28 am

have that, jandy. Maybe it's the one after that.

2:28 am

Ah, the recreational pastime popular on cruise ships?

2:29 am

that's it, jandy -- thanks!

2:29 am

You're welcome! The under 40s would never get that allusion.

2:29 am

Qs Quonquered

2:29 am

hey! I'm under 40 and get that allusion :P

I am thinking of going for a whie.

2:29 am

Ah, ha, Sprite, remember a few days ago, maybe a week, we were talking about those who have so much suffering in life?

2:30 am

Lucky you, ata. Twice! LOL!

2:30 am

i'm missing a w... from the top. any ideas?

Plural

hi Ata

2:30 am

Plural, hillary

2:30 am

and hi LOL

2:30 am

oh thanks!

2:30 am

gave it a while ago, hillary -- sounds like the palest of colours (and pl)

2:31 am

I remember, Marmar. It never rains, but it pours. :(

2:31 am

I got the single from the wrong e and then didn't see the plural for ages.

2:31 am

ata -- beautiful icon -- your design?

2:31 am

same here jandy

2:31 am

yep! a big commission I did a few years ago. Its about a metre squared in size really

Ata is that Silly in the box?

2:31 am

this is tricky without the list. where are the 7s... i have only one, re7/32.

2:32 am

yes, that's the monster cat

2:32 am

am close to finishing. Want me to put a stats list on Babanon after finishing?

2:32 am

That same day I read something about St. Peter Damian, an Italian bishop who had a horrendous childhood and yet became a most generous man: here's his thought on human suffering: "Personal experiences of suffering should make us sympathetic to others in need; St. Peter's difficult childhood made him particularly mindful of the poor and lowly." THAT's exactly what you exhibit to others!

would you please sprite

I am stuck with 33 left

Silly is mighty Pretty and im a fur mum

2:33 am

she really is *proud* and she has a vet appt in 2 hours. she'll just hate me

I told my friend that one of her kittys is not cute

2:33 am

I'm over half way and heading for bed -- night all

2:34 am

awwwww Marmar.... thanks for saying so. You actually bring tears to my eyes with it.

2:34 am

good night jill

nite jili ty for helping earlier!

2:34 am

What a lovely compliment, Marmar, and richly deserved! I think the memory of what has happened to you is also important to sympathy and empathy

2:34 am

Nite Jilli, sleep well!

sleep well

2:34 am

Good night jill! Rest well.

2:34 am

Sily is gorgeous. And she will hate you only temporary, Ata, don't worry.

2:34 am

poor friend's kitty!

Ata do you have any little kitty pics?

2:34 am

sleep well, jilli! Happy dreams to you :)

Sprite that would be lovely

2:35 am

44 to go...

2:35 am

Well, you're dear to many people. This whole group of Babblers is outstanding in my opinion! Ok, lovefest over!

2:35 am

hehehe Marmar, I agree. This is one special community.

2:36 am

hi everyone

2:36 am

hi Andree

Hi ANdree

2:36 am

one more I from the second row right... i have a a 4/4 and a 6/30. What am I missing, please?

2:36 am

you mean sily as a kitten?

2:36 am

Hiya Andree!

2:37 am

*poof* [blowing kisses to all]

2:37 am

the other day I popped into another word game, don't know which one because I left after one glance at the chat, it was so full of vulgar language and crass comments...no way. I came back here!

2:37 am

I think you are missing the 7 that builds on the 4. Brits spelling.

2:37 am

am babysitting AGAIN, grandaughter just put to bed, grandson watching teletubbies, granma babbling

2:38 am

Andree, you are wonderful :D

Marmar.Dr G stomps that sort of behaviour

2:38 am

http://silver-claws.deviantart.com/ <- Silverclaw's dA account!!

2:38 am

It's great, isn't it?!

2:39 am

(lucky Marmar wasn't here for the Dutch ovens conversation the other night, sprite!)

2:39 am

there's some baby pics on there

2:39 am

grinnnn Marmar can handle fun. That is not what she means ;)

2:40 am

That's good! And I agree, there's fun and there's filth, and the latter is hardly ever the former!

2:40 am

don't worry sprite your turn will come, 1 minute you have little children and the next they have children

2:40 am

I actually think I caught a part of that as I was zipping back and forth by the computer you two...

Ata your cat is really into getting that tinse

2:40 am

am looking forward to it, Andree. Seems to me the best part of kids... ;)

2:40 am

Ata, one of my sons is a graphic designer who has some pics on deviantart... it's a great site.

2:41 am

No, what I mean is that blatant "troll" type talk.

2:41 am

lol Marmar... and I am right, right? That was fun.

2:41 am

definitly better than parenting

2:41 am

oh jandy? what's his name on dA?

2:41 am

Me too, and I'm a lot closer than you Sprite. Plan on getting them high on red cordial and hot dogs then sending them home.... revenge is sweet....

2:42 am

Well his name is Andrew Law, and I think he might just use that...

2:42 am

i use chocolate and don't make them brush their teeth,lol

2:42 am

exactly, Jandy! All the fun and none of the worries.

OH Silly is so pretty

2:42 am

Excellent, Andree!

2:42 am

so he does, jandy :)

And a little to into getting that tinsel

2:43 am

I know I'm biased cos Sily is mine, but really, yes, she's an incredibly pretty cat

2:43 am

i am just waiting to be old enough and silly enough to embarras my kids , that revenge will be very sweet

2:43 am

If there are currently any pics of him making ridiculous faces, ata, it was nothing to do with his upbringing. Really.

2:43 am

wups, I am way past my limit. I better be starting my chores. Take care everyone, I wish you a fantastic day.

2:44 am

lol Andree!

http://tinyurl.com/2m5lrq is this your Kitty Ata?

2:44 am

bye Marmar, have a great day too! *hugs*

Ata she is pretty and im a kitty mum

Bye Mar

2:44 am

Oh, I started that program early Andree. My sons were bigger and taller than me when they were ten, so I used shame as discipline..

2:44 am

actually you're quite safe Jandy. Just Death Cult logos and lots of red and black!

2:45 am

nope, thats too big for Sily

2:45 am

Used to drop them at college (age 16 or so) and yell "Bye Bye sweety, mummy loves you so much" out of the window when they were painful!

Looks like her

2:45 am

lol jandy

2:45 am

Right, dinner date calls. Bye all, thanks for the chat! Back tomorrow to finish off.

2:45 am

it does. not as pretty though

2:46 am

bye jandy

2:46 am

did someone say there is a q8, if so could i have a clue

Qu math

2:47 am

there is, Andree. Divide 8 by 4 and the answer is your answer.

2:47 am

and I am done, fireworks. Off to make you guys stats.

Yah Sprite

2:47 am

3:10 am

what's up herin?

Friday night irrits

3:11 am

is friday worse than other nights? I find them all equally irritating.

We have to move and yet my house mate still wants to roll play. We have to get up early and i just want peace and quiet

3:13 am

we haven't moved in 15 years now... i just can't begin to imagine how horrific it would be.

Well it shites me to tears i just need tonight to be quite

3:15 am

what do you mean by your house-mate 'roll playing'?

3:16 am

sound a bit saucy herin

Dungens and Dragons.

Not really

3:18 am

are you moving to a cool new place?

We are looking but this is why im annoyed we need to be up at 7am

3:20 am

hell is other people... which often means housemates.

Indeed but when its friday night and you just want to chill and have silence it doesn't work

3:22 am

never got into d&d

Its not just that game

3:24 am

well hell is this grid at the moment for me... i've gotta go take my teenage drama queen to the theatre with her high school drama class. might come back and try to find remaining 32... herin tell your housemate to bugger off and leave you alone.

Cant

Later Hillary

Just have to wait until the 18th of April and then im FREEEEEEEE,

3:26 am

hi herin I'm here to listen

WESt hello. IM just freaking about moving and the organisation factor. Im also worried about Mr Pres

3:27 am

I am too don't know the story very well has she had trouble before?

Its her arm. She has had an infection and so forth and it has flared up again

3:28 am

YEs two lovely children and te wonderful Lickety

3:29 am

it's hard taking care of little ones when you're not 100%

3:29 am

he seems like an angel don't think I've ever seen her here

They are 8 and 10 i think

Mr Pres is so lovely. I sent her a letter today. A real letter

3:30 am

Yes. I find letters are a lot more special when sick

How are you today?

Also i scored the two thumbs up in the cool girlfriend award

3:31 am

pretty good the builder is coming in the afternoon and bringing his a/c guy with him

3:31 am

3:32 am

we sold our house and have a little money left over so we're doing the kitchen here

sod

3:32 am

I want you to know we took several boxes and bags to our charity shop today

Well done

3:32 am

Good Morning Haz, happy lurking :)

3:45 am

and i am going to have some dinner, 60 left will get list soon

3:45 am

enjoy andree!!

3:45 am

No, silent observation sounds better than lurking. The same way a self-scheduling domestic overseer sounds better than a housewife. Anyway, back to it!

3:47 am

LOL

Lickety if you are there i sent stuff to you

3:51 am

hello lady!!

3:52 am

3:59 am

lots of good aussie flicks what are you watching?

I am watching Metal Skin

4:00 am

is it about robots?

Cars

4:02 am

makes sense

4:02 am

I have a friend in Perth she plays here under Ossie have you met her?

4:03 am

anyway she sent the trailer to a Hindi movie that looks fantastic

4:03 am

Jodhaa Akbar have you heard of it?

OSSSIE yes indeed

The movie was going to be called Speed but well that was nicked by a yank

4:05 am

that was a great movie though..Speed

this movie is just weird

4:06 am

lots of car chases?

Um drag racing and that kinda of thing. google Metal Skin and have a look

4:07 am

will do can't find another word to save my life

http://tinyurl.com/24uk78

This is it

4:08 am

right, im entering stealth mode aka lurking

Its a bit nasty in some parts but i like it

No stealth

4:09 am

I just found it on Rotten Tomatos the guy is kind of cute

The IMDB site is better

4:10 am

I just read an article in the Washington Post about several people killed while watching a drag race nasty stuff

4:11 am

ok I'll check that one out

Yes indeed

4:14 am

that was better

4:15 am

started to tell you a story when you had to leave about the kerosene lamp

4:15 am

long story short I put it in my laundry basket to bring upstairs and didnt' realize it was still full got kerosene all over everything

Oh no that is very annoying

I am sharing a very small space with the kitty

4:17 am

does she want some of your dinner

I have had it

4:18 am

the annoying part is it hadn't evaporated must have been there for years

She wanted to sit in the warmth of my seat so i let her

Oh dear west

4:19 am

our old Jenny cat likes to sit on my lap with the laptop

4:19 am

she's 18

Oh wow that is old and good for the kitty

4:20 am

she's outlived her 'husband' and son both looked just like your Pandora

4:20 am

loved the video

Oh wow. Pretty. Thanks

That and i think she wants cuddes

4:21 am

Disney ( that was his name ) had one blue eye and one green eye he was such a handsome boy

Pretty

4:21 am

the cat in the picture is KC he found us

KC is pretty and fluffy

4:22 am

he is such a doll

I think the kitty wanted to be scritched

4:22 am

jenny hates him of course

4:23 am

have you seen the video of Nora the piano playing cat?

4:23 am

you'd love it I believe it's on Utube

zYEs i ahve

Why do kittys have to squish themselves into the smallest space. I do feel privileged that she wants to sit with me

4:25 am

she has such a great personality reminds me of your cat

4:26 am

how old is she looks pretty young

Shes about a year we think. She was found as a palm sized ball of fluff

4:27 am

like KC

4:27 am

will you have trouble getting a new place with a pet?

They no nothing about the kitty

4:29 am

easier to sneak in a cat than a big dog

4:29 am

I could never understand people who won't allow pets they are part of the family

People think that pets are destructive have you seen the damage little kids can do?

4:33 am

yes, first hand lol

4:33 am

pets and kids are as good as the people who raise them

I didn't get the place i wanted due to the fact that we are too young

4:34 am

oh that's too bad

4:34 am

how can they discriminate like that

4:34 am

so you'll get a place you'll like even better

Cause we will trash the place obviously

4:35 am

that's just not fair

4:36 am

they would probably have been terrible landlords then

4:36 am

do you have security deposits?

Yes

We have everything sorted

4:38 am

no I meant do you have to pay one when you rent

4:39 am

so if there is any damage they take it out of that

Yes there is one month bond and one month rent in advance

4:40 am

pretty much the same here

4:40 am

very expensive to move

4:41 am

don't you like where you are now?

Sorry i had to refresh. I am hopping to stay in this area but right at this moment in time its a case of take anything

4:43 am

well the good thing is you've cleaned out a lot of junk

4:43 am

so you'll start with a clean slate

I did

4:43 am

I'm very proud of you

I did indeed. I just cant believe how much we are searching for a place.

4:44 am

have you gone to an agency or are you doing it on your own

There isn't anyone here to help unless you are already renting through an agent. But we are privately renting

4:48 am

I wish you all the luck in the world you deserve to have the place you want

4:48 am

do you have a time limit?

Yes 18th of April that is why i am pissy about guests tonight

4:50 am

well you have one extra day..today

4:51 am

where are you..near what big city that I would know

I am near a major center. I don't like to say exactly were here

4:52 am

ok

I am looking at places now. Do you have MSN or Yahoo chat?

4:55 am

it's almost 6 a.m. here Friday the 29th and I haven't been to bed yet so I'd better go and try to get a little sleep

That is a good thing West

5:16 am

Carlee i have no idea as to that conversation.

Oh Scrabber that is not good

6:24 am

I have downy, hairy and pileated woodpeckers around here.

LOL..

6:25 am

hello friends....

HI Lori.

6:25 am

Haha, RTH--he is asking a lot of medical questions now, but the challenge is that he does not like math at all.

hi lori ann

6:25 am

Hi Lori Ann.

6:25 am

hi lori scabbler

6:25 am

oh...was a cnn reporter trashing matt drudge for breaking media silence on prince harry..he let a string of aussie slang rip and I didn't catch it all but none were very ncie

HI Loriann

6:25 am

Dang, why is it Micro$oft hiccups that make me have to restart, can't make Babble say I'm done after said restart? :-)

6:25 am

And it is only 5 degrees F here so I am wondering whether to cross-country ski this afternoon??

Well, then being a nurse would be easy, very very little math involved beyond Basic 7th grade algebra., really.

was was the aussie slang?

6:26 am

G'd morning Scrabbler, Lori

suh-weet! about someone slamming matt drudge that is hee hee

My cat is such a moron she just fell of the ledge

6:26 am

bullard and dagus that I heard...

6:26 am

Hi Lorip, Queen of Nova Scotia.

Ok let me have a look at this as i have bog all idea

6:26 am

i don't like drudge but I go to his site every day for news..

6:27 am

I see Peter is better Scrabbler. This is a good thing.

6:27 am

Scrabbs...We are also only reading 5 degrees here in central PA!!!! There goes the advice from yesterday to get outside and get some sunshine!!! I'm a chicken when it comes to the cold!!!!

6:27 am

RTH---maybe he will keep thinking about it.

why patronize someone with no morals?

OK so it was a reporter trashing him?

Oooh Lori, are you close to say Gettysburg area? My paretns are coming home tothat are soon and will have a bad awakening.

6:28 am

LAyers, Lori Ann!

we have snow here and 21 degrees (Fahrenheit) which is too cold!

6:28 am

yeap.... the aussie reporter with the really crooked nose who reports ALL Time from iraq of aphghaistan

Well, Scrabbler I hope he feels better, and if he was lacking an interest maybe something int he hospital will spark an interest...

For once it is getting warmer in NM...

6:29 am

( I like to read stories from all sides...I read algazeera every day too )

6:29 am

Redturtlehead...we are about 3 hours away from gettysburg.

Ok im having a look now

6:29 am

i read super conservative and super liberal..somewhere in there is the truth

I grew up in Shippensburg.

6:29 am

RTH, where are you in NM?

6:29 am

I will try the layers scrabbs!!!

6:29 am

good morning. Gwen, it's balmy where you are.....-16 degrees here and expecting, surprise, surprise, yet another snow storm. At least it's covering up the ice so walkingis possible again.

godthaab, I am currently working in Espanola, and have the joy of living in Chimayo....

6:30 am

thats cool Rth...I know alot of people who attended the university there.

21 ain't balmy, not for a warm-blooded mammal at least LOL

6:30 am

Is that near Taos?

Yes, very near Taos and Chama.

As i wasn't here i have no idea Carlee

6:31 am

Great mountain scenery through there!

but not like Taos, I should add.

Man i need to kick people out

glad i have a working furnace-thing

Yes, It is pretty but I am mighty glad it is temporary.

6:31 am

its ok herin

Ducted heating with couch over it. mmm toasty

Oooh mentor is a good phantom today.

6:32 am

Temporary?

gm all

HI Nance

6:32 am

hi nance

hey herin

hey carlee

cat just jumped on my head

lol

declawed?

GOD no that is so cruel

6:35 am

( i agree herin)

it is - i had i done once but never again

6:35 am

Silly cat! Bunny Sebastian jumps on me during the night, especially if I try to sleep in.

No she flew about half an inch from my head

yesterday I excavated the closet to get to the door to get to the furance to get to the filter to change it. landlord never changes it. it had pretty much a solid layer of paper-like crud on it. yuck! thinking i should mail it to landlord anonymously

i heard they break their little toes

6:36 am

they cut off the END of their toes

ewww and that is bad

6:36 am

take off first knuckle

You can buy Soft Paws for kitties now

I like that idea book

6:37 am

I

thanks, infernal 8-)

6:37 am

or you can just say I have a cat. Cats have claws. Therefore I must deal with scratching if I want a cat

6:37 am

Yuck, BDG--that should be changed monthly---it will make the furnace more efficient too---lower cost.

6:38 am

u train them not to... water guns as a kitten..and a good scratching post

6:38 am

woops...had to take a phone call...and was in the wrong box to type. LOL at least I didn't type a word in this time!!!

scrabbler, yep, the new filter i bought is a monthly filter. i don't relish changing it every month since the door to get at it is not really a door so much as a huge piece of plywood with no good place to grab it

SOft paws are a great option but my cat has grown up on lino so she is used to not clawing its my bleeding couch that cops it

6:39 am

wrap it up in tin foil, the unshiny side out

wrap up the cat or the couch, atalante?

6:39 am

LOL both would be a good idea!!

As Dc says you can always recover the couch

6:40 am

the couch. if there are any bits she concentrates on

well, i have a few words to go, must get to my daily chores, bye noe

Very temporary godthaab, I have about 5-6 weeks left.

6:41 am

bye BDG!

Have a nice day BDG..

bye gwen

We do have a post and i do need to get the claws trimmed but we will deal

hey red & atalante

hi nance.

6:43 am

I am so not liking this puzzle today!!!

6:43 am

its better than yesterday's!

hey lori

6:43 am

I didn

6:43 am

it is better then yestedays

I never heard of the actual procedure for declawing that is awful

6:44 am

woops....I did'nt mind the one yesterday.

6:44 am

declawing is horrendous, and should be banned

It is in your country Ata

6:44 am

yeap....my furniture and rugs are fine... water guns work

My cat loves the water

6:45 am

yes. and i'm very grateful for that. i was horrified the first time i heard of it happening

I hated yesterdays, and once again did not finish...I just have a lto of crud to do.

6:45 am

( well ur cats are weird..we already KNOW that <giggle> :op~~~~~ )

6:45 am

It's not a very interesting puzzle today.

Poor little kitty feet. Carlee my cat often hits the glass

i didn't mean to start an uproar - i don't believe in it either

6:45 am

Words are not jumping out at me.

6:46 am

I just waited to see where Silverclaw decided she wanted to scratch and then coated those areas with some carpet off-cuts. So she can scratch where she wants, but no damage is done

6:46 am

I strongly agree Inge!!!

Keep sipping the coffee Scrabbler.

Nance thank you for telling me

I am craving a visit to Caribou Coffee, or even StarBucks. Will have to drive into Santa Fe.

6:46 am

Maybe I need some coffee also RTH!!!

6:46 am

it is a boring one

6:46 am

The people demand intriguing words to keep their interest!

Ok im off i have to clean up and kick people out

I'm good with boring, too much chaos in life right now.

6:47 am

I did recently notice that QU tile.

Good afternoon/morning all. Apologies for the icon and its effect on the digestive system.

7:07 am

argh! thats almost as bad as THE DRESS

7:07 am

I knew you'd love it!

7:07 am

its quite something

hey haz

7:07 am

brb I need tea after that shock

7:07 am

Isn't it? I didn't use the thong one on the grounds of decency and the unwillingness to send people to hospital.

7:07 am

Oh no! Oh well, at least he's not wearing a thong, Haz.

7:08 am

Another Stringfellow fan!

7:08 am

On the other hand, Jacula, who knows WHAT he's wearing in that photo. He doesn't look comfortable, if you ask me.

7:09 am

Photos of Barbara Cartland have much the same effect on me. I always thought there ought to be a warning on the page before her picture.:(

7:10 am

Poor woman - she pioneered the fresh-faced no make up look.

7:10 am

And never really got the credit for it.

7:11 am

http://tinyurl.com/39tpmf

7:11 am

Could she be an icon for qu5/16 of romance?

7:11 am

I suppose she could, Haz.

Ok signing off until the end of work. Bye.

7:12 am

'Bye, red.

bye red - take care & hurry back

7:12 am

back with a fortifying cup of tea. I think I can handle the Stringfellow thing now

7:13 am

Ata - click on this http://tinyurl.com/39tpmf

7:13 am

And now, Atalante, you have to see Barbara's pic.

7:13 am

:D

7:13 am

*dies*

7:13 am

*Sends ambulance to Ata's.*

7:14 am

Death by make-up

7:14 am

LOL

7:14 am

She certainly used to trowel it on!

7:14 am

this one is better: http://tinyurl.com/yvu4on

Ooooh, Barbara wars

7:15 am

AARGH!

7:18 am

*sudden brilliant idea*

7:18 am

who is barbara? please don't say "the first mom"

7:18 am

The poor woman was obviously suffering from cataract or something - either that or she got made up in the dark. Kind of lipstick by faith.

7:19 am

lol flask - I didn't even see the Q yet!

7:19 am

Hello Flask!

7:19 am

Oh no! What's Ata going to do now?

Morning babble!

7:20 am

*Resists the temptation to photoshop a pic of Haz.*:D

7:20 am

*looks around for fm to be a co-conspirator*

7:20 am

Oh, please do resist.

7:20 am

Good morning Uniquity.

7:21 am

I'm trying really, really hard to resist, Haz.

7:21 am

7:21 am

Well, try harder, Jacula!

7:21 am

I'm not *grins*

7:21 am

resisting, that is

7:21 am

thanks Haz!

7:21 am

Okay, Haz. I'll look for my last 4 words. (Ata can get the blame instead!)

7:22 am

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Here's where all my mocking catches up with me.

You're welcome Flask - windy and rainy with you as well?

7:24 am

Any particular pose?

7:25 am

7:25 am

'cartlandise'. I like that word!

7:25 am

7:25 am

*flinging arms around Spangle*

7:25 am

Okay, let me see what I can find.

7:25 am

woot!

7:33 am

7:34 am

7:34 am

Thanks for the pic., Haz. Those flicky out bits on your hair are a b*gger to 'cut' around. LOL

7:35 am

I must speak to the hairdresser.

7:35 am

Yes, make it nice and straight for photoshopping.:D

7:36 am

Maybe we should aim for a Stringfellow look. Or a Cartland cut?

7:36 am

Don't tempt Ata like that, Haz.

7:36 am

I was considering turning George into Peter S for you ...

7:36 am

The human body is such an enigma...

10:41 am

It's definitely winter still-- it's snowing right now. And my spring break isn't until April 7th because I'm student teaching and I get it at the same time as the school in which I am placed. My University has spring break this coming week, but I still have classes.

10:41 am

10:44 am

Ty Scarlet

Hello deb!!

10:46 am

Then you are a true rarity, april.

10:46 am

10:46 am

how you doing Red?

porky, oh no!!!

10:46 am

oh, and very few commercials, too, which makes it actually BETTER than T.V.

10:46 am

The same, red, but not worse... How are you?

I tried it April and I could not find Land O CI...

hi deb, I am ok...

10:47 am

Yes, his face is filling out, and he has cut his hair shorter so the proportional balance is "off", red.

Oh no...Poor Vincent, he needs a trainer....

I have one to send him.

10:48 am

IN the first one please and a clue for the IN 6 please

10:48 am

glad it's friday, it was a tough, emotional week. and i don't know what to do about a boy that doesn't treat me too well. oh i know what i should do, but it's hard to let go.

10:48 am

He needs a severe ego-reduction while he's at it... but, his character has developed nicely in the series... I keep seeing him in MIB... LOL

men are very difficult deb.I sympathize with you heartily.

10:49 am

Sorry to hear that, debjed. I hope you are able to get some rest and relaxation this weekend. It sounds like you need it.

Him or his character?

10:49 am

deb... listen to your brain... the heart often sends mixed messages...

10:50 am

Him, red... that's why the show hired on another team to offset the crushing film schedule...

10:50 am

I don't have those yet MLF, or I'd help you out.

10:51 am

Chris Noth and his ever-changing series of partners...

10:51 am

10:51 am

Or, small city...

10:51 am

10:52 am

If you like him, red, hair or weight won't make any difference...

10:52 am

10:52 am

10:53 am

IN + men wear a **e

10:53 am

10:53 am

mlf - going by the count, you could have tried all the possibilities in that time; they were limited

10:53 am

what does the 8 start with?

10:54 am

red, do you know ANYthing yet about Florida?

Ok, i need to make one more last ditch call to Hospital, and then try to sleep because Imust run this afternoon...

10:54 am

I am waiting on a liscene, sould come in 3-4 weeks.

10:54 am

I amsubmitted to one hospital. they called toschedule an interview, and have not called back since then, btu the job is open.

10:55 am

I am very very angry at J.

10:55 am

:-)

Which is affecting my job search.

10:55 am

i got that 8, thank you:)

10:55 am

Sounds very iffy, red... did they give you an encouragement in the job search?

10:55 am

Yea, deb!! :-)

It is always iffy in this situation.

10:56 am

that would be two vowels right scarlet?

My resume is very very good. So theres not an issue there, but timing and all the other hassles make itdifficult.

10:56 am

It has two vowels, MLF, but interrupted by a consonant...

Ifall elsefailsthere is a job in Boca Raton, onein Coral Gables and one in Homestead, would all piss J off, which might just be enough for me totake them...

10:57 am

hi all

hi Doxy.

10:57 am

10:57 am

HI, Doxy!

11:05 am

11:05 am

Hi scarlet. Just popped in to see how many words there were. I was helping my sister with a catering contract yesterday (and Wed) so haven't been here for a couple days. Things are good, Luc!

11:05 am

11:05 am

Later, doxy!

11:06 am

11:07 am

i just had always known that word to have a z not an s

11:10 am

Hello TO!

11:10 am

bonjour Temple !

11:10 am

11:10 am

11:11 am

2:34 pm

Karys - There may be more of us getting 'Cartlandised'.

2:38 pm

2:38 pm

Hi, Carlee.

2:38 pm

Well, luckily the soothing glow of the golden tiles seems to have miraculously restored my vision.

2:38 pm

She always wore pink - and she had peke dogs. She didn't dye them pink, thankfully but it was a close run thing.

2:38 pm

you must be a youngster shoe ifyou haven't come across her before. Hey carleeeeee

2:38 pm

Hello carlee!

2:38 pm

Hello, carleekat!

2:38 pm

2:38 pm

hello carlee

2:39 pm

How is is that hideous hags seem to love pink? Jordan will be old one day! LOL

i am a lowly 20 year old

2:39 pm

Gardners World is on (1st of new series) and that means Spring is not too far away!!!

2:39 pm

where's your version, Jac???!!

hey carlee

2:39 pm

Barbara Cartland. Prolific authoress, step grandmother of Princess Diana, known for her light make-up touch.

2:39 pm

Oh boy will she have some droopy bits eh Jacs?

2:39 pm

Drat! I forgot to watch it. I'll have to catch it online later, FM.

i am soon to be 21, and i am presuming nothing at all will change

2:40 pm

yes..light... I can see that...

2:40 pm

Ata - it's not as good as yours but it is quite Warholy.

2:40 pm

Nothing will change, shoeless.

nope

2:40 pm

wanna see!

2:40 pm

and..how did we get on the topic of barbara cartland?

2:40 pm

I'll put it up as my icon, Ata. Hang on.

2:42 pm

Oh, carlee, it was a while ago, we were talking about Peter Stringfellow and somehow Barbara came up.

2:42 pm

...and there she is in all her glory... Ms. Hazel Cartland.

2:42 pm

and if that is what Ata does to friends, god help her enemies!

2:43 pm

wonderful!!!!

2:43 pm

Its even worse than I remember

2:43 pm

hahaha....oh my jacs...that is wicked of u

2:43 pm

but there's one thing wrong Jac. the lipliner stays within the actual lip area :P

2:43 pm

And the moral of the story is - if Atalante or Jacula ever ask for a photo of you DON'T DO IT!

2:44 pm

I know, Ata. I did take it up a bit but I though afterwards that it was too neat.:-)

2:44 pm

Haz - you knew exactly what we were going to do.:D

2:44 pm

*giggle*

2:44 pm

*gasps for breath*

2:45 pm

*crawls painfully toward the door*

2:45 pm

I know. Anything (well, almost) for a laugh.

2:45 pm

We're all planning on getting makeovers for a theme ay.:D

2:45 pm

*oh, the horror!*

2:45 pm

Are you all right down there, Vic? Need a paper bag to breathe into?

2:45 pm

In the US we'd probably have to do Tammy Faye Bakker day instead.

2:45 pm

well fm has my pic...

2:46 pm

2:46 pm

should I be worried?

2:46 pm

Qu4 posting, Jacs! You're just making it worse!

2:46 pm

Oh yes I do, don't I .... LOL

2:46 pm

Do you wish the "treatment"?

2:46 pm

FM could probably open a virtual beauty salon with the makeovers as examples of what can be achieved.

2:47 pm

if we having a theme day..knok urself out

2:47 pm

"beauty" solon, eh?

2:47 pm

2:47 pm

2:47 pm

Haz, what a hoot of an idea

2:48 pm

Tammy Faye doesn't look QU5 as bad as BC.

2:48 pm

Let your creative juices flow, FM.

2:48 pm

2:48 pm

NOthing new there, Jacula.

2:52 pm

How does it feel to be plastered (literally) all over the chatlog, Haz?

2:52 pm

Ah well, I've not taken the bold step of refreshing yet. I suppose I'd better?

2:52 pm

Haz is plastered again? It may be time for an intervention.

2:52 pm

Gosh it has been ages since Haz took a nip of the cooking sherry Jacs

2:53 pm

refresh! refresh!

2:53 pm

Any help with the se 5,10's

7:39 pm

its darn gusty out there.....

7:39 pm

hello, could someone clue the last me5/6 combo?

7:39 pm

Back then there were no high-rises in TO, and 401 didn't exist.

7:40 pm

just lurking while watching a movie...evening everyone

7:40 pm

lol how times and things have changed, eh?

7:40 pm

just like the se4 above, but end with a different vowel for each

7:40 pm

aussieme - first earthquakes, now wind gusts...what's going on over there :)

7:40 pm

i like your clue jill

7:41 pm

I dont know Angela, but it is sure scary, its costing me a fortune.....

7:41 pm

it's probably not a combo - me5 is the plural of the me4/5 and the me6 is more meat, but spelled differently

7:41 pm

the last me 5 and 6 are not a combo -- the 5 is the present tense of me4/5, the 6 is me + level of seats

7:41 pm

I can imagine! We have been getting a ton of snow but I would much rather that that what you have been getting!

7:42 pm
