Hi jilli

1:09 am

hola jellen :)

1:10 am

ah but jilli, I bet you at least bid game !!!!!!!

1:10 am

Hi Jilli

1:10 am

great jilli too bad you didn't bid it

1:10 am

we weren't playing against flosey and her hubby though

1:10 am

that would have been a dilemma

1:10 am

you should have been jilli - we were terrible tonight - should say I was

1:10 am

well, yes, flosey, and nobody else made 7 that time

1:11 am

I did but not even in game - I was really out to lunch tonight

1:11 am

how many tables?

1:12 am

1:13 am

sp 6 x 2

1:13 am

when we were student wives we used to roam the halls in our building looking for a 4th

mi 7

1:14 am

we didn't play until hubby was in last year

1:16 am

A bunch of us skipped many a McGill lecture because of bridge -- but not the kind Goren was playing there at that time.

1:17 am

cool Goren was there when you were?

1:18 am

well, I never knew him, west, but I believe he was, or shortly before

1:18 am

ours was very much the kitchen variety

re 6 x 2

1:19 am

ours too

1:20 am

I think I'm glad I didn't find him roaming the halls lol

1:20 am

I think we were still using Culbertson -- my partner today had never heard of Culbertson but she's a very good player -- just younger than I am, which isn't hard to be, lol

1:20 am

we started right into duplicate pretty much from the beginning

1:21 am

Jilli, that can't be right? am sure she's older?

1:21 am

never have played that

1:21 am

oh, you meant your p tonight?

1:22 am

I don't see the mi7

a bad pl 4

dial

1:23 am

I was introduced to auction bridge by my parents when I was very young, and I remember them discussing the switch to Contract bridge, and Culbertson's system of Honour Tricks. They bought an Autobridge gadget and that's what I learned on. I still have a portable version.

1:23 am

nm found it

1:24 am

Thanks, Dee

1:24 am

flosey, I was talking about the other Gillian, lol

tonight is not my night... I guess I need to hush LOL

1:24 am

I didn't play cards until meeting hubby

flosey -- your book sounds interesting. I wonder if we'll be almost the only icon Themers again

1:29 am

Jill - Played my Autobridge yesterday as I have decided to learn to play bridge properly at last

1:29 am

strange jilli, you'd think more would have a book to review

1:30 am

this is a great book jilli, I'm really enjoying it - very sad in parts, but humour as well

ur 6

1:32 am

it's hard for us to imagine thousands of young children walking/running through the desert, running at night, for years

1:33 am

just read your review flosey would like to read it too

un 6 x 2

1:33 am

such a beautiful continent in such dire straits

flosey just saw a good movie about the lost boys... but my brain isn't remembering the name of the flic... rented it thru netflix... terribly sad... the group that was filmed had ended up in Pittsburgh

1:36 am

if you remember the name of the film Dee, Please let me know, I'd like to see it

brb I'll see if I can find it in my list

1:38 am

re

flosey name is: God Grew Tired of Us.. here is the blurb info: After raising themselves in the desert along with thousands of other parentless "lost boys," Sudanese refugees John, Daniel and Panther have found their way to America, where they experience electricity, running water and supermarkets for the first time. Capturing their wonder at things Westerners take for granted, this documentary, an award winner at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival, paints an intimate portrait of strangers in a strange land.

1:46 am

Now how did that re get in there?

1:46 am

Sometimes I get in the chat very mysteriously!

1:47 am

Took it down, thanks so much Dee for going to all that trouble, I really appreciate your interest

1:47 am

Trying to be a lurker and there I go revealing myself!

1:47 am

Goodnight all...

1:47 am

I'm going to Toronto next week for 3 weeks, I'll look for it while there

no prob at all... I am so bad at remembering titles

1:48 am

I'll be babbling from TO as well, so will let you know when I find it

nite ddb

cool

1:48 am

we have 2 sons there - plus others of my family

1:49 am

plus a GRANDSON of course

1:49 am

G'night ddb4

1:49 am

was gone for a bit -- Cat wanted attention, bit me when she'd had enough

I have also seen several flics about Rwanda.... I decided I needed to do a better job of educating myself about other parts of the world

1:50 am

I have all of 9 words, busy day tomorrow so won't finish this big one

you will have so much fun

1:50 am

well this book has certainly opened my eyes

this one is going slow for me, too, jili

1:50 am

for me too, thought it was because am so tired

odd how quick our media is to discuss some topics, yet they ignore others

I get so very irritated

1:51 am

yes, some things are uncomfortable perhaps - and downplayed

sp 7... a dog... a cocker ....sp

1:52 am

ty dee!

1:52 am

oh, thanks, my first 7

my brother is a minister in inner city Pittsburgh, PA, and visiting there has been an eyeopener... ty jili.... no one wants to discuss the poverty in America either...

1:53 am

I'm hoping the headache I have and the one side of the throat sore doesn't mean anything...

another sp 7/32 and a related form 8/45... looks like the body part starting with same 1st 3 letters

1:54 am

oh jilli, hope not, you've had enough of that for this year

wow me 2 jili....

1:55 am

I'm telling it to go away and may go away myselof -- to bed, lol!

1:56 am

sleep's good jilli for fighting these bugs

1:56 am

think I'll be off to bed - maybe this grid will look better in the morning

agreed flosey

1:57 am

great chatting, and thanks again Dee, now, goodnight all

1:57 am

be back early tomorrow

1:57 am

I just have to go through the tiles once

1:57 am

G'night, flosey

1:58 am

good luck jill

1:58 am

night flosey

nite

re-hi

How are you?

2:05 am

hi herin

pretty good; how about you lady

good just got back from the library

I did that last Friday... found so many fun books... Evanovich, Nancy Fairbanks, Joanne Fluke... fluffy mysteries

our local library is fairly poor. I am getting a book ordered in from another library

the one I go too is puny too, but they are all so very nice... will get books from other places, just like yours.... I love going to the library LOL... feel like a kid....

I like librabies and im not used to this tiny little library that we have

I am used to 'get lost for hours' library's

One of my earliest memories is sitting in the egg shaped window at the library when i was a kid

I totally understand

So how are you Volley?

2:14 am

our small library has over 40,000 books plus DVDs, tapes. etc and interlibrary loans. I work there -- it's run by 2 part-time pros and 150 volunteers

Thats Small? Not in my world sigh that sounds lovely

hanging in there lady... our weather has been nuts, so my RA has been painful... but have been reading alot, babbling, and doing a little needlework... so life is good

2:16 am

people like it. There are magazines too, free computers, copier, and a great kids' section downstairs

Needle work is good for bad hands

Jill that sounds lovely our library has free 'local' library connections

helps keep my fingers limber, but sometimes it kills my thumbs, must be how I hold the needle... not really sure. I'm not great, but I make simple things like bread covers, table runners...

sounds like a fun place to work jili

I am currently hunting down a full list of Jodi Picoult books

2:19 am

it's great, dee

Jill that sounds like a fun volunteer job.

oh lady.. I just finished her book, "My Sister's Keeper"... wow what a twist at the end of that one

I had never read any of her books before

I want to start reading the very first book. Ill just borrow them. I have already made a bad book choice this year

I have a cousin in NC who has her degree in library science. She is librarian at a grade school and also teaches 4th - 6th graders how to use the net for research...

what was her first one lady?

and of course closely watches that they don't end up places they shouldn't...

Um looking now

SOngs of the humback whale

2:24 am

herin, it's been perfect for me -- meeting like-minded people, lots of laughs, feeling useful, seeing lots of good books, magazines, helping people learn to use computers, etc etc

2:24 am

NBT so going to bed -- night all!

Night Jill. Also Jill you are an inspiration

Night Jill. Also Jill you are an inspiration

ty lady; I'll check it out. jili I hope you feel better!!!

Volley i made a really horrid book choice today so now im going to read Harry Potter

2:27 am

thanks herin and dee xoxoxo *poof*

Question: Would it be really mean of me to email an writer and tell her what i think of her book (its not good)

what book was horrid? I have never read the Harry Potter books... I've seen a few of the movies; I am just not a fan of wizadry, so didn't want to spend so much time on such large books. Have you read any Sue Crafton books?

I have done that before; I just make sure I criticize the work, rather than attacking the author.

pa 8/65

The Book was Keri Arthur's Full moon rising. Its just sloppy

No i haven't read Sue Crafton.

she is nicknamed the alphabet author... mysteries... starting with letters ... I think she is up to "S"

http://www.suegrafton.com/

One of my main gripes is the sloppiness of the writing for instance a bunch of vampires attack this club (random factoid not going anywhere in story) and she mentions that two of the women were raped. My point with this is there is no need to include that as there is no point in it. Also her technology is sloppy.

then, you should share those observations ...

have you seen the movie August Rush yet?

I am thinking so. I think its just that i am a big nerd and a big role playing nerd. No to that movie.

great flic... worth seeing just for the music in it...

http://www.apple.com/trailers/ i like to look here for future movies

I'll check that out; I have only used netflix.com and imdb.com

you always have great websites to investigate

I like to trawl about the net you never know what youll find

I love ask.com for that very reason

li 6/24... have never heard that word before...

here's the meaning... odd word . 1. a slightly rough or ripply surface on a body of water. 2. spray from small waves.

oh dear. I just found a very odd movie Zombie Strippers

yuk

Robin Williams is in August Rush... plays a really strange part... wish I had the cd for just the music...

i think i just cracked up laughing at its badness of it. OH i have heard of that movie

lol

my nets just died

how can you still be here?

I am here. I just rebooted

I just found that you can get the August Rush cd at Amazon.com

welcome back

I first rented thru netflix, then bought it at walmart

Thanks

Silly pc

Keri Russel was in another flic... director actually was murdered right before movie's release... I think that one was called Waitress.

have guests back soon

okay... I should be going shortly; ty for all info

Hiya Haz

5:25 am

Hello MM.

5:25 am

hi Mr P

lynxx... I got bombarded by a drama queen who is 36 going on 14... just wanted to tell her to shut the F up, but can't do that... had to 'advise' her to ignore the problems she was facing

hi monkey

by ignore, I mean just leave it be and stop dragging everyone else into it

5:26 am

another clue for the sp8 pls?

sp8.... a person who speaks spleen??

5:28 am

Deep breathes MRP. Don't do yahoo I'm afraid

a person from spleen!

Mr Pres you need a natter

5:28 am

what's a natter?

5:29 am

thanks for sp 8 mr p

5:29 am

ty mrp how are you?

Natter to talk

sokay lynxx... I had a good laugh at her expense though... she thought all the crap about her was coming from one person... she found out the difficult way it was coming from all corners! I felt sorry for her for a few seconds, but when she started swearing her head off ... I just put my hand up and said.... "not involved, deal with it darling"

SP 8 please

ardilla! am well thanks! did way way way too much today, but am happily resting on babble

5:30 am

OH shoot me. I didn't see the bottom L

5:34 am

yah, d's are done!

Yah how are you Ardilla

Lots of Dutch words.... prei, plein...

5:36 am

my dutch is weak

Mine is weaker than I thought. People still have to check the grammar in my reports before I turn them in.

5:38 am

actually, my dutch is severely disabled

mine is non excistance

5:38 am

tomorrow should be my last day on crutches!

Do you actually have some Dutch, kje? Given that je is a normal diminutive to end a name with? Walter is Waltertje, to many, dfor example.

Yah Ardilla

Yay Ardilla! That must be a relief.

5:39 am

well - my deepest sympathy ardilla - but your arms will get ripped!

5:39 am

no dutch - except chocolate

I've been over here 15 years. hought my Dutch was pretty good until I went back to college.

5:40 am

yeah, they're quite sore

5:41 am

Happy days Ardilla!

5:41 am

I thought my english wa pretty good until I went back to college

5:41 am

think of toned upper arms and all the arm wrestling you can now win

Is it your native language?

5:42 am

yes

5:42 am

ha ha ha :)

Mine too.

g about moving somewhere, I was having a nice convesration today with a Japanese lady and a Czech lady; we only had Dutch in common. So three native languages and one additional common one.

Where do the first parts of my posts go? That was supposed to start "Fun thing"

OK, got to get Walter up for his nap. Back in a while.

5:44 am

that was one of the weird things when visiting Switzerland - since they have 3 languages... you would meet 2 or 3 swiss people who used english to communicate as that was their common language - surreal

Monkey sometimes you typein stuff before it has a chance to load

It's quite charming, really.

6:12 am

He gets bored so he draws himself going for a walk under the moon. Lots of puns, like when he makes land or draws up the covers.

Phantom: eland

6:16 am

good, kje. It is so much easier when things are in order. I can't believe how much better it is.

is that just dutch?

I just found awesome food

6:17 am

no - eland is a real word

6:17 am

kje, didn't you order the filing system?

6:17 am

Does it mean the same thing (moose or elk)?

HI anyone i missed

6:17 am

this is work office angel?

What sort food?

6:17 am

whats for food herin ( am making koshary right now for missie's class tomorrow)

6:18 am

but monkey - it doesn't exist in this grid

I'll be making Korean Pancakes with 9 fillings tonight. Might just do 5 though.

That's why I said phantom, kje.

6:19 am

what makes a pancake korean monkey?

6:19 am

Maria Gracia has an organizing book for the office as well as for the home, kje

6:19 am

oops - missed the phantom part : )

6:19 am

OK angel (are you sure your not getting a kickback?)

The pancakes themselves ar epretty straightforward. Thin things made of milk and flour and eggs and chili powder. But the fillings use Korean spicing and teh whole affair is a Korean dish.

Carlee im looking at the amazing delievery of tiffins in the city

6:20 am

absolutely sure, kje...I just know a good thing when I see one :)

6:20 am

tiffins in the city?

What's a tiffin?

6:20 am

sound yummy monkey...

They're good. Just do a Google on Guchul Pan, and you'll find 'em. Easier than they sound, too, just a tad time consuming.

The dipping sauce is best with Chinkiang vinegar, but what isn't? That's at most Asian groceries.

Ok a tiffin is a stack of food (think Bento but small stack of tins)

What's a Bento?

Bento is a box of fud

6:22 am

kje, I've been collecting online resources for getting organized and for frugal living for months. very helpful.

6:22 am

I am finished, I am exhausted looking at the defs to see what all these words are! Must get some dinner - bye for now

6:22 am

i'm just working on last part of koshary... making for 30

Gotcha.

6:23 am

<POMPOM TOSS> for lynxxx

Bye Lynxxx!

What's Koshary? I know, I'm useless.

6:23 am

woohoo lynxx

6:24 am

Congratulations, and take care lynx!!!!

Ok so in Mumbai they have the wives family members cook the food into these boxes and then this company collects them and delivers them to the offices for about 300 R a month. My city has just opened a delivery service in the city at a small price

Yah lynxx

Mumbai? What kind of food? Sounds really yummy!

Indian

6:25 am

koshary is the "staple food" of egypt... meaning..its is equivalent to mac and cheese in North america...or... eggs and chips in england

Of course.... I cook from several regions. I'll look up Mumbai recipes.

Great, Carlee! What IS it, though?

Its a great way to make sure your rice isn't soggy and your bread is covered in goo

6:26 am

its a mixture of long grain rice..over cooked macaronis ( they like pasta cooked to soft there ) and lentils..with diced tomatoes..and fried onions...then baked

OH carlee i need to look that up

That sounds really nice. Thanks!

6:27 am

am just finishing the macaronis... then pour over the tomatoes..and sponn on the onions..and bake

6:27 am

our next-door neighbor gave us a weed-eater yesterday.

t to go check the soup again.

I am a puss id have to leave at the hot

leave out the hot even

6:31 am

oh...the hot BARELY there... cus rice and macaronis naturally kill the hot

I am a puss

6:32 am

no seriously herin..if u ever in a situation where the food to hot foryour palete....spoon it over rice... cuts the heat in 1/2

I just avoid hot

6:33 am

i put in...to a pan to serve about 30...maybe 1/4 tsp of cayene... I'm doing this the EASY way

6:33 am

this grid stinks

yep

fine

oops!!!!!!

6:34 am

thanks MG...i didn't have that one

I have that one

6:34 am

but I have a bit of cayene in my nose...

6:35 am

nose and eyes running

eww

Ooh, that can be a problem! Sometimes when I'm frying up the peppers for various dinners I smoke us all out with the pepper gas, though, but at least that can be aired out. I have no suggestions... snort milk???

Poor love

6:37 am

mmm mmm mmm spicy hot food! can i have some for breakfast morning all

6:38 am

lol snort milk

Hello!

I don't like it Fran

eww

6:38 am

perhaps eat some bread.

I like snort the milk as a concept

6:40 am

people make the mistake of grabbing a glass of water when somehting is hot. that just spreads the heat.. besides, most hot things are oil based.. so water doesnt wash it away.. you have to eat bread or like carlee said.. rice

bread

Milk is one of the things that does pick up the chili. But she got it up her nose.

6:40 am

sees someone stuffing bread sticks up their nostrals

I still say snort milk

6:41 am

me too! your right snorting milk might help.. it couldnt hurt

6:42 am

or she can drink a glass and we can make her laugh till it comes out her nose !

Or snort Whizz Fizz and then you will ahve a frizz nose

6:42 am

LOL whats whizz fizz?

Frantique, you the winner! Hee hee!

6:42 am

lol

Pixie Stixx

6:43 am

my nose is fine all...koshary in oven now

6:43 am

perhaps soak a tissue in milk and blot the inside of the nose

6:43 am

yay LONG LIVE THE NOSE ! hip hip hoooray!

mmm yummy'

6:44 am

ok now when do we eat the Koshary. we all want a taste!

6:44 am

inabout an hour...its done

6:44 am

6:49 am

Feral means wild from birth but not a native species.

I make mock things by just adding every spice i have and then grilling them in a hot pan on top of stove.

6:57 am

These three are the third generation and the fourth. There was a BIG flock 20 years ago but people stole teh babies. This third one is the first baby in 20 years to make it and stay wild. He's 1 now. The parents are about 18.

Lemme find the website about 'em.

I can't get it and I am leaving soon. I wanted to get a good start before we 'hit the road' so I could do it alone.

7:15 am

you have lots of work ahead of you kat ! - bravo for even contemplating doing this !!

7:16 am

an8 - an plus two thirds of Mr Geller and the whole of Mr Gore

7:16 am

an6 that should be, I beg your pardonl

good clue haz

7:16 am

I thought I needed an an 6 Haz

7:17 am

Who is Mr. Geller?

7:17 am

I hope it helps Merk - I made a mistake, Merk, that was the an6.

7:17 am

th hazel ! and how are you dear ?

7:17 am

Mr Geller - spoon twister? Or first two letters of the proper term for body waste, fluid style

7:17 am

Hello montreal - I'm well, thanks.

7:18 am

it keeps me young luc... or 1/2 crazy... or is that the same thing?

7:18 am

**i Geller

7:18 am

hi there haz

I am sorry i am so lost

7:18 am

'xactly kat ...lol

Back for a min and off topic. I found a TV. It works fine. Had a sign on it saying "free, take it away". SO here it is. But the universal remote I bought needs to be programmed. I have the code lists. However, the TV says it is an RM 2000, which the guide and online sources say is a sattelite dish. Anyone have any experience with this sort of thing? I just need the code to tune the remote to the machine.

7:19 am

Hello carlee - I'll be back later once lunch is done and errands run.

7:19 am

carlee is preparing a sleepover celebrating "Anne of Green Gables" at her place herin...

7:19 am

later hazel - take care !

7:19 am

googled it and got it with Haz's clue. ty

7:20 am

Glad you got it, Merk - bye!

7:20 am

( at the church around the corner actually )

7:20 am

ok...people..suggestions for making black current punch... I have rybena

7:21 am

had to program a number of TVs MG...but none that gave me "satellite dish" source...sorry...

7:21 am

limeaid?..lemonaid? pineapple juice?...what flavour do you think would go best?

brain aid would be good right now

7:22 am

lemonade would be my choice kat...

7:22 am

lol herin

Montreal, have now found TV in Dutch listings only but no sign of code key. Is there a way to get it to respond, is there a "universal" code, anything?

7:22 am

i'd call the help desk for either of the products..when in doubt...be a blond and ask ]

7:23 am

i think i might have mislaid you herin...carlee is organizing but it will be at her church - is that right kat ?

Even though it's a free TV I found on the street? I'll see if I can get the web to cough up a service number...

7:24 am

how do they know... could be your dad's old tv for all you know...or an old roomate...

7:24 am

don't believe MG that there is a "universal" code - i remember going through hundreds of codes and eventually returning the remote to the store to get a more expensive one that worked...

7:24 am

( not my church..hahaha...its not important... its just the church where our guides meet every week )

Dang. OK, back at it I go...

7:25 am

but DEFINITELY not at my house...

i know what is happening

7:25 am

LOL kat...

7:25 am

montreal, hello...

7:25 am

good for you herin...cause i certainly don't...lol

7:26 am

7:28 am

I like the stats page because it's automated a bit.

7:28 am

it was fine Angel - did you get negative comments from elsewhere ??

ANgel my dear where do i find the stats that you have done please

7:29 am

no, I've had no negative comments. It's just I've never done a spread sheet like this before.

7:30 am

herin, go to the main page of the babble online resource guide...under Babble links...Angelsong's Stats

7:30 am

at some later time, i would like to know how you automated that page Angel...

your thingie?

7:31 am

lori, not getting your FA7 clue - i only have 1 FA4 and it doesn't work with Guy's last name...

7:31 am

I just used Google Spreadsheets. If I enter numbers, then select the data, it gives me a total automatically, and it is set to republish each time I edit the page.

I can't find it angel can you please URL it

7:32 am

best part is, it cost NOTHING.

7:32 am

Oops, typo monty, extend the fl 4. Man. I need more coffe. Sorry!

7:33 am

10:44 am

10:44 am

10:44 am

Have you heard the latest about Mo?

10:44 am

10:46 am

10:48 am

(wink)

10:48 am

Hello TO!

10:48 am

hi owl

10:48 am

Written in invisible font, I should hope.

10:48 am

hey TO :-)

10:48 am

Oh no! We can NOT allow our unexpressed thoughts to be recorded in anyway...they would all involve very NOT G rated things..

10:48 am

Hey TO! Are you lurking too? :-)

10:49 am

wont be much help at the moment ... only just started!

10:49 am

Invisible font, indeed.

no lori! just began lunch. say there is a babbler in the grid - and it counts!

10:49 am

How about "Lurkers Anonymous?"

10:50 am

I just feel that the term lurking has a pejorative sound to it. Silent Observation sounds less threatening.

10:50 am

HI Im Ruru.. I have been lurking for an hour... group says "Hi Ruru!"..lol

10:50 am

LA LA land?

10:50 am

kje i am always there lol

Hello ruru!

10:51 am

could someone clue the OP?

10:51 am

mo no problem i only have 80 words and started last night

10:51 am

Silent observer seems much more unnerving to me. Like a voyeur..

10:51 am

but SOSO is just ...er... well...so-so

10:51 am

HI haz

10:51 am

hey this could end up a large club.

10:51 am

o + double consonant + vowel + *** Rathers

10:51 am

op + Life of ** + Mr. RAther

10:51 am

and plural

10:51 am

Silent Observer sounds like you're in a tree with nigth vision goggles.....

10:51 am

You see, this is where we need someone with Mo's diplomacy to sort out the duties and functions of the self-help group. Lurkers versus observers.....

10:52 am

trained in Contra camp in Central America

10:52 am

10:54 am

do you think he looks like your George?

10:54 am

Magesse. Look at Help above the chatline for the rules. Basically you have to find the words within the grid to the left. At least four letters long, touching, any direction.

10:55 am

Magesse - above this chat box, click on the "help" icon. Also, below the grid in friends of babble box, see "angelsongs babble page". Double also, Don't Panic and always keep your towel with you.

10:55 am

Two eyes, a nose and a mouth are about as similar as they get.....

10:55 am

I always thought George had a special third eye...

10:55 am

I have seen Sir Terence in real life. Jealous?

10:55 am

I cant understand why people think they are alike.

10:56 am

How about instead of Silent Observers, something like Non Participating Participants?

10:56 am

Terry is the only reason I watch the Eurovision.

George, Renee has always been insecure. I feel sorry for her.

11:30 am

I GOT IT

11:30 am

She's a nice girl. Just a bit stalker-ish, her and some lady from New York state as well.

11:30 am

Not from Ireland though I hope George

11:30 am

Well, we all know the one from New York state. She drives about with skis and canoes on top of the car.

11:31 am

i love renee zellweger but i still dont know what she was thinking when she married that country singer and then later they were divorced

11:32 am

But George, you're so good at coping with all those delusional women.

11:32 am

There you go, wax is for more than just skis. It's a burden to be sure, but I have broad shoulders.

11:33 am

Oh and those shoulders are soooo dreamy!

11:33 am

HI Uni LOL!

11:33 am

Broad shoulders and a big heart. I'm not surprised the others want you as well.

11:34 am

wax .. shoulders ... george has hair on his shoulders

11:34 am

I'm just so glad that you found safe haven in the understair cupboard. Who'd have thought it?

11:34 am

Oh yeah, I used to be lurking. I can't convince myself to work on this grid! Have been reading webcomics instead.

11:47 am

if it works, I'll make more Caitlyn, how's that

11:47 am

Great idea

11:47 am

1st column of rankings flosey - "Cream of the crop"

11:48 am

ah, I'm so far down in that one, never thought to keep track of numbers there, must try

11:49 am

almost always complete babble, but will be in Toronto for 3 weeks next month - may miss a few

11:49 am

well, for the other 2 columns, Village elders is straight forward - and Who's hot is almost impossible to maintain at 1030 unless you do EVERY grid...

11:50 am

{{Lucien}} I am laughing so hard now... we have the same book cover!

11:50 am

have been on top of that one but it fluctuates

11:50 am

Im guilty of that at the moment monty!!

11:50 am

is the top one the first to finish the grid of that day?

11:50 am

(((SCARLET))) - amazing isn't it ??

11:51 am

Yes!!

11:51 am

But not surprising!

11:51 am

Flosey, are you going to visit your sons again?

11:51 am

lol caitlyn !! - no flosey - it's closer to how you perform (percentage wise) over time...

11:52 am

interesting

11:52 am

will start watching it closer

11:53 am

t'was a GREAT book O Red One !

11:53 am

now must try to find my last 23 words - have errands to run and summer clothes to drag out and get ready for TO

11:54 am

For me, Oh Northern Great One... it was the pivotal time of my life! Later flosey! Be well!

11:54 am

that much effect scarlet ?

11:55 am

Yes, Luc... some things just stormed into my heart and soul, and should be, by all accounts, paying me rent! :-)

11:56 am

ahhh - you write I see in your profile... seriously or more keeping a journal like ?

11:56 am

I was a newspaper editor and features, political and sports' writer for many, many moons, Luc!

11:57 am

Scarlet you must ahve had a very interesting career

11:57 am

well, i'll be darned !! - never knew that ! - i understand the culture now...:-)

11:57 am

I did, Cait... and now, it is time to continue with the imperative...

11:58 am

What culture, Lucien? I am a little lost now :9

11:58 am

Cait, my passions are politics and sports... so, they are not so different after all...

11:59 am

well you don't exactly appear to be a wallpaper dear one !

11:59 am

LOL... Luc... you always tickle me no end!!

11:59 am

Both the things Im not very good at Scarlet LOL

12:00 pm

not very strong in sports either Cait...

12:00 pm

The practice of politics in the United States is a lie wrapped in hypocrisy inside a half-truth.

12:00 pm

Have you all been reading about that dreadful man in Austria?

12:01 pm

Sport trivia question: Who was the 1st man to run the mi** in less than 4 minutes ? (no cheating allowed)

12:01 pm

Cait... I would have, in the long past, have truly enjoyed doing feature stories on so many Babblers... everyone, no matter whom, has a story and I have been humbled, brought to tears, learned and forged on through disasters... so, I learn from every person here. Hello, BabbleRabble-rouser!

12:01 pm

***tiptoes in to hug Scarlet, greet Babblers, and consider lurking***

12:01 pm

Its no different in the UK Bab

12:01 pm

roger bannister

12:01 pm

yay BR !!!!!

12:01 pm

Lori Darlin'! Thank you for the hug! Much needed today!

12:01 pm

Thats a lovely thing to say Scarlet

12:02 pm

run to hug ((scarlet)) !

12:02 pm

Caitlyn, what I want to know is how his wife did not know all this was going on. Give me a break!

12:02 pm

in that case Scarlet, allow me {{{scarlet}}}

12:02 pm

Bab are you talking about Dr Roger Bannister Bab?

12:03 pm

It doesnt make sense at all Bea

12:03 pm

Which is harder to believe. That the woman didn't know what was going on, or that she did know and went along with it?

12:03 pm

Buncha' hug copycats! ***never can be enough hugs.... :-)***

12:03 pm

it was my sports trivia question Cait...

12:03 pm

Awwww... thank you so much, flosey. {{Hugs to Lori and flosey, too}} Hello, Haz! I have missed you all so much!

12:03 pm

Hello Scarlet!

12:04 pm

He used to live around the corner from me in London monty

12:04 pm

well hazel, i would find it UNBELIEVABLE that she did not know !!!!!!

12:04 pm

Haz, it's all hard to believe.

12:04 pm

did you meet him Cait ?

12:04 pm

Oh, I absolutely agree. Whether she knew or not, the whole situation is ghastly.

12:05 pm

Who lived around the corner form you Cait?

12:05 pm

1954: Bannister breaks four-minute mile. Roger Bannister, a 25-year-old British medical student, has become the first man to run a mile in less than four minutes.

12:05 pm

Please clue in the floundering American on this story?

12:05 pm

That poor girl must have had a life of sheer hell

12:05 pm

Are y'all talking about the freak that locked up his daughter? ***too lazy to scrolll back***

12:05 pm

Bea Roger Bannister

12:05 pm

Whoa!

12:05 pm

Creepy.

12:05 pm

Yes Lori

12:05 pm

Scarlet, Austrian police have discovered that a 74 year old man has imprisoned his daughter for 24 years. She bore him seven children.

12:06 pm

ACK!

12:06 pm

No way that family was THAT ignorant to what was happening. They allowed themselves the be ininvolved.

12:06 pm

imprisonment started when she was 18...

12:06 pm

She and three of the children were kept in an underground basement of their home. Three of the children were raised by him and his wife. They adopted them - they were 'left' on their doorstep, supposedly with a note from the daughter saying she couldn't cope.

12:06 pm

That is disgusting, horrible and mind-blowing.

12:07 pm

whew, it sure is scarlet

12:07 pm

What I found really disgusting that the penalty in Austria for this is 15 years imprisonment!

12:07 pm

Some of those chidlren never saw the light of day for their entire lives.

12:07 pm

It truly is. One 18 year old boy emerged along with a five year old. They had never seen daylight.

12:07 pm

They think the younger children ,who have never seen daylight may recover

12:07 pm

The daughter and those children will never know normalcy.

12:08 pm

horrifying story... am sure it happened in the past but now the whole world knows...including youths...not very good images to put in their minds...

12:08 pm

don't know that I could have left this to the court to decide punishment!

12:08 pm

bichon... that is equally disgusting.

12:08 pm

I can't imagine such a lenient punishment elsewhere.

12:08 pm

I just can't fathom how that man could continue in such wickedness for so long.

12:08 pm

How were they dis- or UN- covered, Haz?

12:08 pm

No, they won't Scarlet. I'd prob'ally start in International Bable incident, but I can never be convinced, that he pulled that off, without arousing the wif/Mother's suspicions. Never. She had to be suspicious of somthing

12:09 pm

There has to be a special place in Hell for those who commit such deeds.

12:09 pm

Scarlet, one of the children kept underground became seriously ill and had to be taken to hospital.

12:09 pm

Stockholm Syndrome, perhaps?

12:09 pm

One of the older ones got sick, and needed medical care

12:09 pm

I agree Scarlet

12:09 pm

who delivered the babies, him?

12:09 pm

almost hoping there is a hell at all...for such persons

12:10 pm

Yes

12:10 pm

you'd think hospital staff might have obtained information from that child

12:10 pm

Oh, Haz... I am thoroughly flummoxed by this story.

12:10 pm

The police must have become involved and the father led them to the basement. He had it locked with access only by password.

12:10 pm

The father delivered the babies when they arrived.

12:10 pm

One of a set of twins died at birth. He incinerated the body in the house boiler.

12:10 pm

One of the babies was a twin that died so he threw it into a furnace

12:11 pm

he was a newspaper editor wasn't he ??

12:11 pm

He can rot, and he makes me pine for an afterlife, which he can rot in again and again.....

12:11 pm

Am I right in supposing that this isn't being covered much in US news?

12:11 pm

they said that the dead twin died of neglect. I wonder what the father provided for these children and how did he get all these things in the house without the wife knowing?

12:11 pm

It's been in the papers Haz

12:11 pm

It's making press here Haz.

12:11 pm

I have been out of the loop for other than political and weather stories, Haz.

12:11 pm

No, it's big news here

12:12 pm

it was on 1st page CNN web site yesterday...

12:12 pm

yep, that's where I 1st saw it monte

12:12 pm

Okay, I was just wondering how much attention it had received.

12:12 pm

unfortunately, worldwide attention hazel...

12:12 pm

I think the whole world feels sick about this story

12:13 pm

A lot, but don't forget, there's the Polygymous Sect news here too

12:13 pm

I have had virtually no computer time lately, so these horror stories have eluded me... this one will be a Hollywood production for certain... either the Coen brothers or Quentin Tarantino...

12:13 pm

Newspapers here are wondering - why Austria - this is the third such long-term imprisonment story to emerge in the past couple of years.

12:13 pm

It will be on "Law and Order" for sure

12:13 pm

i see George as the le**...lol

12:13 pm

Yes, the Texas polygamous sect is getting minute by minute coverage here, so otehr stories are being overshadowed.

12:14 pm

There is another gut-punch, Lori... and it goes on m ore than any of us realizes.

12:14 pm

in Texas lori ? haven't heard that one...

12:14 pm

Do others feel slightly sick/guilty at the thought of this being served up as entertainment in the future?

12:14 pm

I saw that last week Lori but no news lately on it

12:14 pm

wow, I'm surpised the txas story is getting that kind of coverage in NS lori

12:14 pm

absolutely Haz

12:14 pm

Of course, Haz... but it is as inevitable as the sunrise.

12:14 pm

Very much so Haz

12:14 pm

of course hazel...but if there's a buck to be made..."sigh"

12:15 pm

It sell papers, so when there's a profit motive, it will be news

12:15 pm

I have to admit that when I watched the coverage of 9/11 - people saying 'It's just like a film' - I cringed - we have enjoyed violence as entertainment.

12:15 pm

Here monty http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2008/04/ 28/texas-polygamyranch.html

12:16 pm

I, too, heard that, Haz, and I WAS ill from it...

12:16 pm

It's quite sickening Haz, but won't be the first time, nor the last that profit is made in Hollywood, from others real life suffering.

12:16 pm

Phone... be right back.

12:16 pm

tx lori, will take a peek...

12:17 pm

14 year old girls ??!! hard to fathom...

12:17 pm

I know - it just makes me sad. I didn't go to see the film based on the Flight where the passengers took over the plane.

12:18 pm

There is no way they'll ever be able to enjoy a sense of normalcy, they'll always be seen as a side show, and I hate to be crass, but would there not be health issues on top of th pain, via the too close genetic relationship?

12:18 pm

Unfortuantely, people are very desensitized. :(

12:18 pm

There must be a lot of genetic issues as you say Lori

12:19 pm

You would think so, Lori. It's a ghastly situation that isn't going to be cured just because it has been uncovered.

12:19 pm

wouldn't be surprised lori... 463 children and 50 odd teenage girls - don't know how many men were involved though...

12:19 pm

What's even more sad is that any problems that have arisen genetically will be continued indefinitely if they have children.

12:19 pm

Do ya'll think that this it is clear this is the FLDS (fundamentalist) not the regular LDS church - being a (regular) Mormon I wonder how it is affecting how people are making the association or if

12:20 pm

Didnt it get uncovered by someone escaping?

12:20 pm

sad but true Uni...

12:20 pm

Lex - I think it's been made pretty clear thta this is a fringe group

12:20 pm

No, it was an 911 call that was never really justified. They never found the girl who purportedly made it

12:21 pm

caitlyn, the raid happened as a result of a call from a supposed 16 year old cult member that they can't find, so it may place the legal ground for the warrant in jeopardy, or not.

12:21 pm

fa5 please

12:21 pm

"never jusitified"? hmmm - maybe not owned up to, but justified considering there has been stauatory rape

12:21 pm

sorry, must go BBL - happy babbling all - "POOF"

12:22 pm

Bye monty take care

12:22 pm

I had to explain to my classes that (because they asked) if they were doing this in our regular church - they would be excommunicated

12:22 pm

I think people understand that there's always sect offshoots that take astrange directions. I'm Jewish, but I hope people don't think of all Jews being like the fanatic Hassidim

12:22 pm

lex, honestly, most people aren't going to differentiate, given that polygamy was only abandoned what, a little over a century ago by the LDS?

12:22 pm

It is so sad that so many of those people are so lost and confused about normalcy - and genetics definately can play a part of the issue

12:23 pm

fa + jazz grat L*** Horne

12:23 pm

I meant justified, as in finding the actual person making the call

12:23 pm

disagree lori - mormon faith has become pretty common in the states - I don't think most people believe they still practice polygamy

12:23 pm

abandoned in 1865 - I think

12:23 pm

thanks Lori

12:23 pm

And Ken Jennings earned a lot of good press for Mormons.

12:24 pm

There always will be sects that go under the name of religon but only are doing it for self gratification

12:24 pm

My daughter was in a class last year where the spelling word was polygamy - and the teacher used this sentence for the example - "it is only legal to practice polygamy in Utah>

12:25 pm

Well, I don't live in the States and don't know any Mormons but was certainly under the impression polygamy was not only practised but promoted. I seem to recall a program on TLC with a Mormon gentleman with several wives a little while ago...doesn't mean it's true though, but the perception is certainly there.

12:25 pm

Lots of horrible thing shave been done in the name of many different religious groups - hopefully people understand the difference between true believers in different paths vs extremists using it to their own benefit

12:25 pm

kje, only my opinion. One need only look at a number of recent news, world wide events, that paints an entire group with a brush, based on the actions of a tiny percentage.

12:25 pm

911!!

12:26 pm

I don't know where somee teachers come up with these things. When my son was in grade school the kids had to write a story about Easter and my son wrote about Easter Island. The teacher said she'd never heard of Easter Island and that he was making it up!

12:26 pm

Oh man - bichon

12:26 pm

LOL bichon - No Way!!!

12:26 pm

Not gonna' mention specific events,. because there'll be a fight. i'm just saying it's the nature of the beast.

12:26 pm

I have heard it all now bichon

12:27 pm

yes, lori, there are extremists on all sides - those behaving in extreme fashions, and those interpretting all people different from themselves in extreme ways

12:27 pm

Sounds like teacher needs to brush up on her geography ! Hi all :)

12:27 pm

Hi MaMa

12:27 pm

G'd afternoon MaMa

12:28 pm

bichon, tell me you're kidding.

12:29 pm

bichon! Wow...just when I thought I have heard it all...

12:29 pm

Him MaMa!

12:29 pm

Or, *Hi*

12:29 pm

if you want to know the Church's actual stand on polygamy you can look up LDS.org and look at frequently asked questions or mormon.org

12:29 pm

In Canada, we have the equivalent in Bountiful BC, with Winstons Blackmore's cult. Government ahs avoided it like the plague, to date.

12:29 pm

hi back Scarlet :)

12:30 pm

:-)

12:30 pm

lex, myself, I'm quite aware of the differences. In general, people paint with a broad brush.

12:30 pm

funny thing - is - I am trying to get my daughter to wear something "mosdest" to prom and she actually thought that I meant she should look like one of those texas women

12:31 pm

Freedom of expression, religious beliefs, press... and on and on... Even the American Nazi party is protected by law!

12:31 pm

LOL lex - she was just being a typical teenager...knowing how to push your buttons!

12:31 pm

"but mom, you don't want them to think I'm in some cult , do you?"

12:31 pm

That's her job as a teen lex.... ;-)

12:31 pm

LOL lex, you should get her a dress like that and see what she says

12:31 pm

good luck Lex trying tofind something modest, let alone getting her to wear it

12:32 pm

She shouldn't wear what they wore at that Fashion festival Haz showed us the other day...

12:32 pm

Oh - I know to misunderstand and think I am an extremist

12:33 pm

LOL, DO NOT wear any of the hideous dresses that haz linked to.......

12:34 pm

UNi!! {{Hi}} Sorry about me disappearing yesterday... a monster storm knocked me off the 'net right in the middle of "Tell me your favorite male actor" conversation! :-)

12:34 pm

Well I really must get some supper ready!! I have enjoyed having a good conversation tonight.See you tomorrow, take care all.....bye

12:34 pm

afternoon all - how's the grid? It's a bit late for me to be starting, and word count over 200 - I think I won't - but, I was just curious!

12:34 pm

The room got quite warm during that conversation yesterday...... :-)

12:34 pm

(Red) It's okay...we all agreed to love Clive Owen. You didn't miss much.

12:34 pm

bye cait!

12:35 pm

bye Caitlyn

12:35 pm

Happy cooking caitly, take care!

12:35 pm

OK until about the last 50 or so AsGreen

12:35 pm

G'd afternoon As!

12:35 pm

As, don't even look at the tiles, they are pure evil.

12:35 pm

I was there for the Clive rant! Bye, caitlyn~ So good to see you~ Hi, Asgreen.

12:36 pm

lol - ok, I'll take Uni's advice!

12:36 pm

I told her she could truly stand out at prom - be the talk of the prom - no go though

12:36 pm

I missed the Clive rant.... hi kje and Lori and Scar too!

12:37 pm

And I have to go as well. Bye! (The grid is doable but gird your loins)

12:37 pm

It was a grind, As, but fun. New words for me in this one. Later Haz!

12:37 pm

The rant being a unified opinion that Clive Owen is one of the most amazing actors in the world now, and it is kinda pretty, too. Later, Haz... girded and set to go! :-)

12:39 pm

*kinda* pretty she says...only one we could all agree to droll over! Everyone else had at least one vote against.

12:39 pm

pr6 and 7 please

12:39 pm

maybe I'll "dabble" in my profile a bit, and see if I can figure out how to update photos, etc...

12:39 pm

LOL, Uni...

12:40 pm

pr 6 = before + arms and legs are ***bs

12:40 pm

thanks Lori

12:40 pm

pr 7 is before + the move The Wedding ****ner

12:41 pm

thanks Lori again

12:41 pm

Let's see, I found a GOOD one....does it show?

12:41 pm

Oh for cryin' out loud, Lor... I had the mi... and never thought about this! **Fish bath**

12:42 pm

nope, it's the same photo I think....

12:42 pm

LOL Scarlet. YVW pab

12:42 pm

do I need to log out and log back in?

12:42 pm

only a bath Scarlet, I'm swimming in fish

12:43 pm

**giggle** pab...we are not at our best today! LOL

12:43 pm

No, just refresh, green.

12:43 pm

NO, As... just refresh

12:43 pm

As, I see a family photo (it seems) when I click your profile, but to see in babble, refreshes are usually required

12:43 pm

I am failing miserably at this grid..Lori tells me I will hate myself when I ask for a clue, but instead I hate the grid :)

12:44 pm

LOL.. Uni, don't listen to your mother...

12:44 pm

**ducking**

12:44 pm

ok, I think I did it...

12:45 pm

Scarlet! Don't encourage her disrespect! ***lobs guppy at Scarlet***

12:45 pm

that's a family photo, yes, with one particularly famous person that we met while on vacation!

12:45 pm

Hi Babblers! "The gang's all here!"

12:45 pm

Hi Aloy

12:45 pm

**Gulp** Aloy!! Are you in Ohio now? Are you well? Did you find any MIckey's this year?

12:46 pm

oooh, it's very distorted....oh well...

12:46 pm

G'd afternoon Aloy

12:46 pm

I feel like a Babble seal... Lori lobs a guppy and I had it for lunch!

12:47 pm

Going back to COLD Ohio tomorrow evening, Scarlet.. hopefully, my Downy dryer sheets have kept all the Mickeys away!

12:47 pm

**slapping flippers together...acting cute for the hope of another guppy treat**

12:47 pm

So, you had a bad storm yesterday, Scarlet?

12:48 pm

LOl, Aloy... it is COLD here today, too... Yes, Aloy, a real bright-light strike of lightning and no phone, Internet nor lights for quite a long period of time~!

12:49 pm

oh dear.. glad the lights are back on..

12:49 pm

There is a limit, Aloy... all but upstairs in the noggin... this grid is fun but sloooowww.

12:49 pm

Lol.. some weirdo words in this grid for sure

12:50 pm

Yep! When does your husband pick the oranges, Aloy? Is that in the next month? I don't know anything about citrus crops.

12:50 pm

ok, profile done, Uni won't let me start, so I think I'm off to do some other puttering around the house until it's time for the kiddos to descend!

12:50 pm

fireworks, had to go to the list and then I found a lot of fish

scarlet - how was the political rally?

ahhhh, that kind of neutral.

1:57 pm

Fairly amazing, kje... Sen. Clinton is very impressive, but not enough to make me change my mind. It was exactly like every other rally I've attended, but the energy was way, way different.

1:57 pm

LOL, yes, red... do you like your new placement, and is it with the geriatric folks?

1:58 pm

plus i was sick again...

2:00 pm

thank you notes from patients Red?

2:00 pm

After looking at every single picture in your FliKr account, red, I am in awe of your travels, your experience and your photography. You are one special young woman.

2:01 pm

NIce to be appreciated, red.

Scarlet thats nice,i'm fairly regular!

2:02 pm

very cool Red - congratulations

it's nice, i'm just glad its all working out.

2:04 pm

So am I, red. You said that you specialized in ER work, primarily, so you have to have a well-balanced approach to geriatric medicine.

2:04 pm

2:07 pm

Welcome to my world, pug... I had a couple of Trojans and some parasites two weeks ago, and they have been making me very snarky... blasted computer troubles!

Ahh, ER docs are waaay different than surgeons...they tend to be a lot more laid back. And in my home hosptial I am more suggestive, but these docs are older etc...

2:08 pm

Better for your peace of mind, then, red. :-)

2:48 pm

ugh trumped!

2:50 pm

I always snort when humor is so sharp... Go get it, kje... let's the three of us do a line...

2:50 pm

An ugging Pug has pulled her plug...

coffee done. this grid is not coming easily for me...88 words so far. I need a few more before I hit the list.

2:51 pm

NO violence, red! NO hitting.

2:51 pm

clearly scarlet is avoiding the re's

2:51 pm

with you red 86 here

2:51 pm

Clearly.... where are the next verses?

86?

oooooh....

2:51 pm

don't blame her I hate the re's!

I was thinking of 86 as in the term to 86 something.

2:52 pm

hello friends! how's the grid today?

2:52 pm

I can start giving random clues if you like red - bet I canguess the heinous ones

2:52 pm

hey red! long time no see!!!! you okay?

2:52 pm

As in: throw it in the drink?

2:52 pm

Hi, stid.

2:52 pm

roti

2:52 pm

A beastie with fangs and a vile sense of humor describes this grid, stid.

2:52 pm

oops - wrong box

2:52 pm

STIDDY!!!

its a nice word kje, but not in this grid.

2:53 pm

stid!!!

hi StidM.

2:53 pm

hm. so like the mother of teens, eh? I think I can best this one... LOL

2:58 pm

redT, that dog seems to asking how he got into that predicament.

2:59 pm

hey BR!

2:59 pm

Hello, peoples

2:59 pm

hi babrab

2:59 pm

hi BabRab

3:00 pm

Another innocuous grid to stroll through

3:01 pm

Hello, BR-r.

3:01 pm

I don't think that is the sentiment in these here parts BR

3:03 pm

doesn't everyone think upon finding a word, "that wasn't so hard"?

3:03 pm

yes, and then I spend twenty minutes on a fish, BR...

3:03 pm

No, BR-r... I think, "I am getting slower as I age rapidly, and this is accelerating the process."

3:04 pm

I must say, attitude adjustment is in order. This is fun. Make it so.

3:05 pm

It is. I am still aging rapidly.

3:05 pm

BR is in his mean dad mode today : )

3:05 pm

YAY ! I greyed the G tile!!!!

3:05 pm

"no grumbling in there or you'll go to your rooms!"

3:06 pm

That's just fine with me, kje... I need a boot to the tailfeathers every once in awhile... LOL

3:06 pm

ayay stid!

3:07 pm

Aging as a biological process does not prevent choices as a thought process.

3:08 pm

So right, as usual, BR-r. Choices saved my life.

3:08 pm

okay, I give up. got to 82 words. see you-all tomorrow!

3:09 pm

'Bye, stid.

3:09 pm

Be well, stid

3:09 pm

leaving so soon stiddy?

3:09 pm

awww stid - bye

3:12 pm

too many die, without ever learning to live

3:12 pm

And, in having lived, having learned to love and forgive.

3:13 pm

Yeah for you, Scarlet

3:13 pm

And to you, BR-r.

3:16 pm

As an editor, Scarlet, did your paper have a code of journalism ethics that included opinion articles by the editorial board?

3:18 pm

Yes, BR-r. We all had to study not only ethics, but journalistic law. The primary opinion-giver was the publisher, but many times, he allowed guest editorials. Our board, since it was a privately-owned paper, consisted of the entire editorial staff... read that, reporting staff.

3:19 pm

I learned to not be bullied by politicians and not allow being pushed into a corner for the "greater good of the community"... which translates as the "special interest" of the said bully.

3:21 pm

is there something specific that you were thinking of BR?

3:22 pm

That is wonderful, Scarlet. I have been telling the local paper at best its editors are at best more puppy dogs than watch dogs and too often lap dogs. I also found them to be akin to political operatives acting as boosters or champions of their own agenda. Papers has so much influence in choosing what is fit to print.

3:23 pm

One editor now calls me his buddy, although I doubt I will ever get a Christmas card.

3:23 pm

the buddy he most wants to shoot?

3:24 pm

Probably

3:24 pm

We find that condition wherever we travel, BR-r... one, in order to maintain one's integrity, must take a stand and offer sometimes unpalatable opinions to kick-start some awareness and/or action on the part of the readers, the politicians, the public at large, and maybe the periodical's staff who play it entirely too comfortably... one must have some guts to say: "The emperor has no clothes!"

3:25 pm

Please clue the first sp6/24

3:25 pm

Please clue the first sp6/24

3:25 pm

I have been writing letters to the editor with the theme of "who will watch the watchdog"

Please don't stop that, BR-r... one voice in the wilderness is better than the alliance of silence or shoulder-shrugging that has become the median behavior. One voice can and often does make a differnce... you just can't allow the slanted opinions of those "in charge" to call the shots.

3:27 pm

in keeping scarlet's theme music going...now starting to softly play the battle hymn of th republic

3:28 pm

I love the Russian Naval Hymn...

3:29 pm

not sure I know that one *flipping through sheet music*

3:29 pm

Just watch Hunt for Red October and it will give you gooseflesh, kje~

3:29 pm

does this mean we can stop Taps - Rs completed?

3:29 pm

Three more taunt me, kje!

3:31 pm

Does the Russian Naval Hymn have lyrics too?

3:31 pm

will ggole

3:32 pm

It must, BR-r... I have only heard the choral underpinnings of sound relating to the music... so beautiful. I bet I will end up Googling that after I finish!

3:32 pm

apparently yes, but in russian - LOL

3:32 pm

I found an MP3

3:33 pm

says the hymn was written for the movie

3:33 pm

my typing in english is bad - but my typing in russian would be worse

3:33 pm

that's what I saw also BR

3:33 pm

It was so beautiful... I have watched that movie, probably, a dozen times and every time I hear that music, I get chills.

3:35 pm

LOL, kje...

3:35 pm

Unbreakable union of free republics, Great Russia has joined forever! Long live the created by the will of peoples United and mighty Soviet Union CHORUS: To Glory, our free Fatherland The stronghold of the friendship of peoples Party of Lenin is the power of the people It leads us to the triumph of Communism 2. Through storms the sun of freedom shone to us And the great Lenin lighted us the way He raised peoples to the right cause He inspired us for labour and for acts of heroism CHORUS 3. In the victory of the immortal ideas of Communism We see the future of our country, And to the Red banner of our glorious Fatherland We shall always be selflessly loyal CHORUS

3:35 pm

Not exactly memorable.

3:36 pm

While I have major disagreements with the political philosophy, I still love the music... the lyrics are truly outdated.

3:36 pm

not a lot of great communist political music out there I imagine

3:36 pm

Music is apolitical.

3:37 pm

music yes, lyrics no

3:37 pm

LOL... I just can't put those words to such a magnificent sound... LOL

3:37 pm

hope that didn't ruin the music for you scarlet

4:19 pm

Dr. Phil is now ripping him a new as*hole

doing what he does best. :) i *heart* Dr Phil and don't get all the criticism against him. he just enlightens with common sense, which a surprisingly large amt. of people seem to lack

6:40 pm

duh, thanks kje

6:40 pm

6:40 pm

yw x 2 : )

6:40 pm

that is so sad

6:40 pm

so true...but did i answer the question kje?

6:41 pm

not done yet nut!

6:41 pm

I'm at the shameless plugging part

6:42 pm

hmmm - I don't think benny hill music could have made that kid funny - but might have made him scarier : )

6:42 pm

that's not shameless! that's the whole point of the show...promoting this site.

6:42 pm

true kje, that's why i didn't benny hill him, but i thought i needed to stick him in

6:42 pm

no - I'm talking about promoting babblecast - LOL

6:43 pm

whoa - glad you did, though it makes me depressed

6:43 pm

logic time kje...if you don't promote babblecast, then other people won't listen, then its not promoting this site

ok so i was only on for about 20 mins, but i am pooped, nigth all, my socks and i salute you

6:44 pm

good night oh shoeless one

6:44 pm

pulease!!! I tested outta logic class in college

6:46 pm

just promote the show and quit being a whiny baby

6:46 pm

nut - is your fisher price head green?

6:46 pm

I have you bookmarked...and have told everyone I know how wonderful babble is : )

6:47 pm

I thought it could only be blue or ppink - how did you manage that

6:47 pm

ok, good girl...but make sure you download instead of stream...it's downloads that you have to have to get ads

6:47 pm

oooooohhhh

6:47 pm

you should say that on the site

6:48 pm

yeah...well, i don't think podango would take too kindly to that

6:48 pm

besides, if everyone would just subscribe in something like itunes, then i wouldn't have to announce everytime a new show went up

6:49 pm

just say something like... for best sound quality, download...

6:49 pm

and when are you going to submit a short story kje?

6:49 pm

OH, I'll do that, I'll add it to my podcasts in iTunes

6:49 pm

what, me lie? when have i ever twisted the truth?

6:49 pm

not a LIE

6:50 pm

yay! and write a review too!

6:50 pm

you sure? i think it might be.

6:51 pm

I think it sounds better when not streamed - then if there is a blip in the server, you don't get interrupted : )

6:52 pm

ok...i concede the point

6:53 pm

i wonder how i update the feed on itunes?

6:53 pm

searching for you on itunes...

6:53 pm

Nut - It's typed and I'm about to send it to you.

6:53 pm

ok jac, i might not read it till friday or saturday, is that ok?

6:53 pm

there are two babblecasts in itunes...

7:15 pm

now brooke is singing i'm a believer - i LOVE that song

7:16 pm

me too.... **I take it we are talking about the song by The Monkees **

7:16 pm

but, you know, after dunkey's version...

7:16 pm

I hear her having difficulty in the low range

7:16 pm

lot of them have troubles with the low notes

7:17 pm

i dunno what it is this season with the low notes

7:18 pm

i can't believe harrison ford did another indy movie. i mean i'm thrilled on the one hand. but on the other hand, i'm wondering if he had to spend hours in a hot tub every day after filming

7:18 pm

they have to start that low so the high notes are where they can actually reach them, it's hard to sound great at both ends

7:18 pm

jordin and melinda sounded good at both ends, as i recall

7:18 pm

wondering the same thing hursh ! I LOVE the INdy Movies !

7:18 pm

so part of the talent is knowing your own voice strengths and picking the right song in the right key

7:19 pm

and of course having a great voice like jordin, melinda and so many others

7:19 pm

i'm not sure why they keep saying that this year has so much more talent than ever before. i mean, melinda - that gal could do anything

7:19 pm

Guten Abend, Babblers. Finally finished. After supper i discoverd that I had left 50 words for after sudoku and forgot. Well It is all made up. Is there a clueless babbler whom I can help?

7:20 pm

7:20 pm

Guten Abend inge !

7:31 pm

Every evening I clean her bottom and cover it with diaper rash cream, then give her 2 medications.

7:31 pm

7:32 pm

LOL--I was SO irked at wilson!!!!!!!!! And, I missed something--think I was too brain-dead...so it was either scattered or I was...

7:32 pm

JAC!

7:32 pm

Callie is an old lady, with lower spine arthritis and a very weak left hind leg. She has a tilted hop and falls over a lot.

7:32 pm

Did you manage to find any of the Avent Magic Cream Scrabbs ?

7:32 pm

hurshy, we watched house also and felt the same

7:32 pm

you know, with the calendula in ?

7:32 pm

Scrabbs - it was a bit sad sending the remaining dry rabbit food etc., over to my daughter's friend who will be looking after the animals when we are all away on hol. (She has a bunny, too.)

Poor bunny. Hugs

7:32 pm

I use "Triple Cream" or 40% zinc oxide, both of which work very well.

7:33 pm

usually house episodes are so much more... put together... and satisfying... glad it wasn't just me.

7:33 pm

Hi, pam. Hi Herin - welcome back.

Jac that would be hard. :(

7:33 pm

Did someone in tis chat say once taht hamster live only four years? My granddaughter says that mine is four years old on fathers day

7:33 pm

na 5 /12 please

7:33 pm

((Flossy + Jacula))---very sad and tough!

7:33 pm

thats good that it works Scrabbs...

7:33 pm

four years is quite a long life for hamsters!

I can't remember Inge

7:34 pm

Wow, Inge--the longest I ever had a hamster was 2 yrs 7 mo, and he died last Sept.

7:34 pm

four years is so good for a hamster ....

I remember someone here used to do hamster dressing up

7:34 pm

ruru, the na 5/12 is the water sprite who bubbles up every now and then

7:34 pm

2-3 is the norm, i had a 3+ year one, that was quite long

7:34 pm

7:34 pm

7:34 pm

7:34 pm

7:34 pm

7:34 pm

7:34 pm

yes, I loved those icons

7:34 pm

Scrabbs - Flossie had lived a very long and happy life for a bunny and was not disabled or ill when he died. I don't feel too bad about it. Just have to remember to stop bending down to his hutch and chatting to him, since he's no longer there.

7:34 pm

That reminds me, I need to tape Law + Order:SVU---Robin Williams is on tonight's episode.

7:35 pm

7:35 pm

7:35 pm

Ankhorite always has hamster icons, and some silly ones.

7:35 pm

7:35 pm

thanks for the reminder there, scrabs!

7:35 pm

Hello, k21. I think you need less pressure on the send key. LOL.

Jac will you ever get another bunny? Not right now i don't mean to be insensitive.

7:35 pm

can someone clue the pl 5/12 please

7:36 pm

It is hard to lose a beloved pet. Very hard!

7:36 pm

JBV what you fly in !

7:36 pm

Herin - Not for now. We still have 5 guineas and a cat.

Very hard i agree Scrabbler even if its a fish.

7:36 pm

I will never not have a bunny, at least until I get taken away to the assisted living home, hospital or morgue.

7:36 pm

was there really an fl7?

7:36 pm

any help with the 2nd RE 6/18? Pretty please

Ok Jac i didn't realise that you had guineas.

7:37 pm

oh I have that one, aussie - there's one after that, thanks

Yes pam

7:37 pm

Yes, it is very hard, herin. I miss my dog, China, terribly

7:37 pm

ah, will have a look then JBV !

Scrabbler i can see you as a really old lady even in assisted living with a rabit.

7:37 pm

((China + Pam))---she had a wonderful life with you, I am sure, Pam.

7:37 pm

na 5 is an aquatic nymph

7:37 pm

Maybe an assisted living home would let me keep a rabbit.

7:37 pm

thanks, scrabs...

7:38 pm

fl 7 - french word - start with Spanish dessert - and french ending - amat*** (not professional)

Excuse me i have to look up Feline Cystitis as someone peed on the floor this morning and i want to double check something

7:38 pm

thanks, jbv

7:38 pm

OK, I must take care of Callie, set the VCR, then get to bed. I was on-call last night and am tired.

7:39 pm

Bye everyone.

7:39 pm

well, then good night Scrabbler

7:39 pm

Pam - It's about 13 years since Ihad to take my old dog on his fi5/16 journey. It's only now that I feel ready to find a new one.

7:39 pm

{{{{lots of Bunny Hugs for Callie, and big hugs for Scrabbs}}} night night Scrabbs xx

7:39 pm

7:39 pm

'Bye Scrabbs. Sleep well.

7:39 pm

I can understand that, jac...

7:39 pm

7:40 pm

Pam- actually, he or she will find me. My pets always seem to come to me that way.

7:40 pm

7:40 pm

found the pl 5, aussie - do you need it?

7:40 pm

yes JBV !

7:40 pm

Hugs scrabbler and callie

7:41 pm

7:41 pm

7:42 pm

NICE poem today, kje...

7:43 pm

hmm, how about an OP clue?

7:43 pm

! aussie... I love Paz...

7:43 pm

thanks pam and aussie

7:43 pm

ruru - 1st pa6/21 = pa** (ashen or wan) + Mr. Bundy or Mr. Gore.

7:43 pm

pa 6/21 - french basket (usually spelled with a double consonant)

7:43 pm

o + double consonant + vowel + Mr. Rathers

7:43 pm

thnx, it took me a couple but finally got it.

7:44 pm

ruru - 2ns pa6/21 is more glassy? Or a donkey basket with the middle consonant missing.

Um question of the day does any cat people know of cat fud that is good for cystistis?

7:44 pm

thankee kindly kje

7:44 pm

thanks, kje and jac

7:44 pm

lately i have been reading that raw meat diets are the best, but they are complicated and expensive.

7:44 pm

science diet c/d--here in the states, herin

7:45 pm

is cystitis the crystal thingy? my boys eat c/d for that

7:45 pm

I fed evo, which was grain free and human grade, to my dog because I didn't want to deal with raw...

7:45 pm

hi, nut

7:45 pm

but, i read stories where people's vets had told them to just put the cat down, and then the owner switched them to raw meat diet and they lived for years and got lots better.

7:46 pm

hee haw.. don't get the donkey basket clue..

7:46 pm

due to her cystitis and crystals, the cat has eaten c/d for over 4 years and is doing great

7:46 pm

hi pam

7:46 pm

i just started mine on a brand called "life's abundance" which i read is next best for cats if you aren't doing raw - has more protein and fewer carbs, and higher quality ingredients. no decaying meat, for instance...

7:47 pm

Herin - your cat needs to see a vet first to be sure of the cause. Then you can add 250mg of vitamin c per day to canned cat food. Himalayan Salt is another thing you can use.

7:47 pm

not a pot but a p** + me myself and * + **, a hospital drama on NBC, ruru

Hi Nuttie. Yes she peed outside her box and i will watch her and stuff but i just wanted to find out what wet food would be good for her.

7:47 pm

I wish I had known that before the crystals took over, jac... now she needs the special food....

7:48 pm

has the cat been checked for bloakages/stones?

7:48 pm

High protein, no carbs herin...

Jac i rang the vet It just happened once. She could have just had and accident.

7:48 pm

got it thank you pam

7:48 pm

i didn't know girl cats could have blockages too...i thought it was just boy cats

7:48 pm

sure ruru!!!!!!!!

7:49 pm

human females are more prone to UTIs, so i don't know why it would be different in cats

Evan girls are known for it. My old girl kitty had a problem. She is still runnning about like a dumb arse and not yowling at nothing

7:49 pm

My cat is a girl cat, nut, and she started getting crystals a VERY long time ago...

7:49 pm

yes girlies get it too...also should see what the crystal composition is....would help in coming up with a tx

7:50 pm

hmmm...my vet told me blockages were more common in the boys

7:50 pm

herin, I just found this.....

7:50 pm

Cystitis can also be caused by stress. Stress may be a result of a change in environment e.g. moving house, a new addition to the home e.g. anything from furniture to a new pet, visitors, a change in diet or even the weather.

7:50 pm

david archuletta isn't a person, he's a perfected image of the 1950s. i love him, but he's so funny

7:50 pm

might be more common--that's what I was told, too--but my girsl has one!!!!!

7:51 pm

any clues for the ra 5/14 - there are 2 of them, I have neither

7:51 pm

my cat pees outside the box

7:51 pm

lol peri

7:51 pm

my cats pee out of the litter box if they don't think its clean enough

7:51 pm

you make it sound like a good thing for a job interview

7:51 pm

sometimes they use a cath for a short period of time to try and get rid of the blockage

7:51 pm

i think outside the box....

7:51 pm

the first ra 5 is a man's name

7:52 pm

Good point, nut.

7:52 pm

thanks for that, inge, i remember that now from another grid

7:52 pm

could it be cystitis, she had kidney/bladder infection several years ago and has been peeing outside the box some of the time since then

7:52 pm

the second ra 5 is a water fall , Grand RA***s, Michigan

7:53 pm

Cat's are very fussy about their litter tray and also doin't like sharing it. Ideally, they should have one each which is cleared of solid matter daily (or more) and thoroughly changed and washed out every 3-4 days.

7:53 pm

one cat, one litter box

7:53 pm

Herbal remedies include Dandelion, Parsley, Bearberry and Watercress (taken as infusions). To prepare an infusion: Add 1tsp of the dried herb, to one cup of boiling water. Leave to stand 20 minutes then strain. Give 2 tsps twice daily with food for a week (when the cat has an acute infection). Make a new infusion every 2 days. Chinese Medicine: 1 tsp of hops diced finely and added daily to the cat’s food. Homeopathy: Cantharis (acute dosage) for acute painful cystitis. Causticum, Equistetum and Thlaspi Bursa (chronic dosage) for persistent cystitis.

7:53 pm

also found that too herin !

I don't mean to sound gross but my cats dirt box is so clean that you could eat out of it

7:54 pm

Most cats eventually die from re5/10 failure, brought about by the fake diet we give them of tinned and dried foods. Dried are the worst culprits for this.

7:54 pm

*feels bad for the non-US folks, who can't get a cat genie yet*

7:54 pm

of uh, i feed my cat canned and dry food

7:54 pm

Herin - is it so clean that it stinks of disinfectant (to a cat). Cats HATE that smell and will avoid it.

7:55 pm

an6/21 please

7:55 pm

inge, I thought the ra 6 would be a plural, but can't find it, can you clue that also?

No i don't use dissinfectance

7:55 pm

I have been cleaning out the litter box using a homemade mixture of distilled water, castille soap and some teatree oil.

7:56 pm

7:56 pm

an6.21 an + **n (where you put deceased ashes) + mr. gore

Once a week i clean it out with a small dash of laundry stuff that i have always used (safe stuff you can eat it if you want) and every time she uses the box its scooped out.

7:56 pm

thank you

Hurshy what is a cat genie?

7:57 pm

it is a self-washing, self-drying cat waste miracle!

Ok i have seen it that would be useless for fuzz but she must dig to CHina

7:58 pm

ra6/16 ..... ra + 3rd vowel, stick letter + 2nd vowel + 20th letter

7:58 pm

you can get the dome to keep the granules in

7:58 pm

i mean you can't cause i don't think they are shipping to australia yet

OH i like that idea. My friend in the states uses the Litter Robot.

7:59 pm

If your litter tray (or any pet place, or even your own loo) gets stained with hard pee crystalline deposit, you can use citric acid (or boiled lemons) to remove it.

8:00 pm

i can't believe i used to live without a cat genie...

8:00 pm

8:00 pm

8:21 pm

Inner Peace I am passing this on to you because it worked for me, and we all could use more calm in our lives. By following the simple advice I heard on a medical TV show, I have finally found deep inner peace. A doctor proclaimed the way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started. So, I looked around my house to see things I started and hadn't finished and, before leaving the house this morning I finished off : a bottle of Merlot a bottle of Shhhardonay a bodle of Baileys a butle of vocka a pockage of Prunglies tha mainder of bot Prozic and Valum scriptins the res of the tchesescke an a box a choqolettss. Yu haf no idr who gud I fel.

8:22 pm

8:22 pm

lol...now those are words to live by

OK there was a US speaker that said 'to expensive to pay of their loans' but his accent sounded to me like 'pay of their lungs.'

Spangle is one

8:23 pm

kje - I thought you meant on Goodreads for a moment, then I realised you meant my icon.

8:23 pm

2nd sp7 is like the fake sugar, but change 2nd to last letter to to 3rd vowel

8:23 pm

second sp 7 looks like it might be related to a body part, ends in 2 vowels

8:23 pm

sp 7 - related to the spleen - ends in 2 vowels...then add stick for 8

8:24 pm

i need some of that ( Inner Peace) it may help me finish this grid

Hi, jilli. I saw that story. Didn't know what to make of it.

8:39 pm

hi and thanks, Jilli

8:39 pm

well, going to go to bed now... I am so tired..... It 20 to 3am !! so time to go to sleep !

8:40 pm

sweet dreams Babble Family.....

8:40 pm

i'm not sure if i can check that out...it might disturb me

8:40 pm

8:40 pm

8:40 pm

it's very disturbing but there's apetition going

8:40 pm

'Night, Aussie.

8:41 pm

night aussie!

8:41 pm

**poof**

8:42 pm

ick, jilli...just checked it out...the pic just about broke my heart

8:42 pm

Jilli - you are thrashing me in our latest game on Facebook, as is feather. *wilts in an appealing feminine, daughterlike fashion in the hope that it will disarm her opponents.*

8:43 pm

nighty night, aussie

8:43 pm

*A false hope, she knows already!"

8:44 pm

hi jilli (the only one of us that can post her own book for this theme - impressed)

8:45 pm

You crawler, you, kje! LOL

8:45 pm

hey Babble friends :) Is everyone done with this grid?

8:46 pm

I am, Mama. Dunno about the rest.

8:46 pm

hi mama...i'm not even close to finishing

8:46 pm

crawler?

8:46 pm

How many words tonight

8:46 pm

kje, I had a hard time choosing my REALLY favourite book -- Just So Stories, all the AAMilnes including the poem ones I adore, Alice... yes, I know, kid stuff, but are they?

8:46 pm

hoper hope

8:47 pm

kje - it was a joke about what you said to Jilli.

8:47 pm

209 jule

8:47 pm

still loooking for 100and some

8:47 pm

I just don't know what a crawler is - besides like a night crawler which is a wrom?

8:48 pm

MaMaWa, I have all of 58 words but haven't had time today to get any more.

8:48 pm

Nce book, jilli! 8-)

8:48 pm

jilli - So-called 'kid's' stories, if they are well thought out, work on many levels. If you're clever when you right them, you also appeal to the adults who will be reading them to younger children.

8:48 pm

Jac has lots of writing to her credit but she is too modest to mention it

8:48 pm

jilli - in general, I hate choosing my favorite anything - so confining : )

8:48 pm

Hear hear, kje

8:49 pm

I NEVER could pick a fave... franny & Zooey? Garp for what it mean to me? any of th ebooks I re4 last week? Waaay too many options...

8:49 pm

i was catching up in the chat and all a bout who read what when, I read the Hobbit long ago (35YRS) and several times since. Did anyone ever read WAtership Down?

8:49 pm

kje - I meant a creep/ar*se licker, sycophant.

8:49 pm

Jac has been holding out? - are you an author Jac?

8:49 pm

I did, Ma

8:49 pm

I liked it, mAmA

8:49 pm

ooooh - a brown noser - that's what we'd say here

8:50 pm

jac's an author, kje...

8:50 pm

EEK! write them, not right them! What did I TYPE? aaargh!

8:50 pm

Me too and reread ? it several times I read alot and many books over and over

8:50 pm

Pam - did I give you permission to blow my cover? You naughty girl!

8:50 pm

LOLOL, jac! Can't blame a greengrocer for that!

8:51 pm

don't you right them, too, jac? 8-)

8:51 pm

8:51 pm

8:52 pm

It was about rabbits

8:52 pm

Yeah - I think I read that one

8:52 pm

you're remembering correctly, kje, and the use of experimental animals

I'm back....still with 96 words left.

8:53 pm

8:53 pm

Hiya red ;)

8:53 pm

Why can you be a playwright or a millwright but you can't actually wright something?

a hint for the an 6, 21? Please

8:53 pm

Watership Down is a brilliant book. My daughter wrote to the author to say how much she'd enjoyed it and he sent her a very long hand-written letter back and a printed map of where everything was.

8:55 pm

Jac, I LOVED The Secret Garden and was totally enchanted by a friend of my grandmother who had created a "secret garden" on the grounds of her home in Louisiana . . . she had speakers in the trees and we would go visit . . . and I danced in her gardens to Debussy!

8:56 pm

8:56 pm

Oh thanks anyway

8:56 pm

8:59 pm

There was an article recently (in Time?) about how terribly hard it is for the people who care for lab animals, but those animals are heroes who have saved many human (and other animal) lives.

8:59 pm

iwas so disappointed when Narnia came out as a movie and it wasnt the whole saga but now see where the caspian yrs are about to hit theatres

8:59 pm

9:24 pm

I tried to get the thing men pee into, but of course that's not there

9:24 pm

Last time I did a long trip (to Crete) my legs and ankles swelled. That may have been due to 7 hours in the airport beforehand and a dawn landing in Crete rather than a 1am landing.

9:24 pm

like the planet but with a double vowel ending

9:24 pm

yes, please, help with the pa 8, please.

Great BZZZZZZ

9:24 pm

9:25 pm

9:25 pm

PA8 - a change in thought. (sounds like two coins)

9:25 pm

theanks, phandmd, and bzznbea

9:25 pm

Jac, this computer stuff is too much for me. I went to Babblecast and got all tangled up in a you tube thing. I don't surf this stuff, I drown in it. I just need to play Babble. It's where I belong.

9:26 pm

not getting the double vowel ending on ur6 - sorry

9:26 pm

good for you Bzz

9:26 pm

pa8 is a grammatical word. Think of the army guys who jump from the sky, then add what you do with a spade in the garden, then add the first letter of the name ou give to the woman who gave birth to you.

9:26 pm

nm - got it. thx!

9:26 pm

serveral countries have this pair of vowels as an ending

9:26 pm

ur6 - sort of 'relating to' the planet before Neptune.

9:26 pm

See you all tomorrow.

9:26 pm

Okay, gramma. Sorry you won't hear my story, or the rest of the fun there.

9:27 pm

10:23 pm

no . . . it's a very limited run . . . sigh
