Me Again. The first timer. I've only got 35 words for 277 points. A lot of actual words aren't allowed for some reason. How do you play this game!!!! Are there any instructions for us beginners?
hi jilli, angel lore and kiwi and hugs to all
pink the letters must connect in consecutive order
any direction
pink -- you can go to Help up above, and scroll down to Anglesong's link. You were already told about Lickety's link -- all helpful
go to angelsong's babble page, pinklady -- link under the tile stats
Can't I go diag'ly? The puzzle says 230 words. Is that how many ar possible or how many folks have already come up with? what are the tile stats?
good evening evy1
help top right; lickety link [top mid column under Friends on lower left pg] lists 1st 2 letters & word value [sum tile values]*[# tiles - 3]; tiles must be connected to use
you can go every which way you can so long as the tiles join and you only use them once lol

that's good (I think)
been happening and will be for a while to come, for me
how was your party??? good weather?
the wedding day is almost here is everyone excited?
I'm kinda freaking....
the party was terrific and so was the weather we had a lot of murphy things happen right up to the last minute but all's well that ends well
glad to hear westie....
oh geez think of the luxury hotel and room service
cause the weather (other than the week I went fishing) hasn't been great here lotsa rain
ok back in a bit food calls me to cook well the brats do anyways
ok 100 found...time for bed...night all :)
you mean you might be delayed getting out?
only reg room at the luxury hotel unless I can finagle something when I get there
106 found here.
no should be okay I hope
well dojne jacula
we got a pile of rain too..now it's humidity times 1000
2 shy of halfway and stopped
and you won't have to worry about that in Las Vegas
yay just1
I'm off to bed, goodnight all, be back in the morning

se 8 if not called
you said the kids were getting married outdoors didn't you? is there an alternate plan just in case?
yes it would be inside if so...
we were in Phoenix in Aug one year and I do remember thunderstorms but they happened at night, didn't last long and cooled things off
cyber does the SE 8 extend from another SE word?
well I sure hope it will be nice
night flosey -- take care
howdy all
The first word I got on yesterday's grid was 'murder' and the last 'sh*t'. I thought that was quite funny.
yes
how many of you will be there? and how many from her side?
hello volley
hi dee
mlf - no
hi from me too dee
ty nD
watching a spoof movie (Mafia!) here, so I'll be lurking for awhile! Hugs to all and happby babbling

I have an SE8 that does come from an SE6
hi dee hi, bye dee bye?
hi jili, just, lore, mlf, west, et al
HI Dee
my sis was so wanting to be there but her first grandchild is due that week
sounds like a nice group
will someone videotape the ceremony?
very unconventional, it's fine with me
mlf - sorry, read ? backward; comes from 6
they opted not to have the hotel videotape, but many pix will be taken
my friend's daughter was married in Vegas and it was lovely
nD i saw ty
we don't have a cam...not sure if her side does
I need to ask a question for anyone who has YAHOO im
IM
Just tried putting the newest doctor in our surgery's first name into the grid. Didn't work. He's Saddat Hussein. Only one letter difference, but very unfortunatate. However, he's v. good looking with long,black curly hair and my Mum and all his other 'old ladies' fancy him.
I thought you might hire a videographer we were so happy we did for our daughter's wedding
I bet he dreads reading his patient list each morning. LOL
hi jac
that's funny, jac!
well they insist very strongly that we not pay for anything and they opted not to do that :(
Hi jilli. Can you tell my Mum to stop being silly over a GP who's about 30 to her 74?
ours was mostly for my mother it was too far for her to come
No way, jac -- I probably would be silly too
that's wonderful westie....these days I just take it as it comes...
jac you never outgrow your need for some eye candy
I swear that she's never had so many 'ailments' in her life!
my mother in law is coming ...she's 87!
I can see his appeal, but he doesn't 'do if' for me.
Morning folks! How many words?
LOL
morning monkey 230
it's good she is able to..I think my mom could have too if we weren't going to be there for several days before
230 Monkey
my parents and hub's father are all gone...
Thanks!
I'll tell ou 'cos all the old birds are busy dreaming of young eye candy. LOL
my hubby's parents are both gone mine are still around
it will be nice for your son to have his remaining grandparent there then
I have a dilemma today.... should i accept Invite A and take Walter to the mini-lake, where we have been before, and see about starting to teach him to swim, or should I accept Invite B and take him to the open-air pool, where we have not been before, and see about teaching him to swim?
down to 97 -- good night :) *crash*
go with the mini-lake monkey
and hello
yes westie it will ( thank you :)
goodnight nan sleep well see you next time
he'll be happier in familiar surroundings
just I suspect he's her sweetheart
what's the bottom of the lake like? if it's gooey Walter may say eewwww...
actually he'll be torn apart between his friends ...her family...and us
but I told him not to worry about us...
Probably will, that's a good point.... but it's farther and the bakfiets has had a blowout.... The lake has a sandy bottom. It's like a tiny little freshwater beach. But it will be MOBBED.
I'd opt for A. monkey.
everything will work out just..then the ceremony will be over and you can all have a nice party
OK, that's two for the lake... it's in the dunes, nice area.
hi every1.... newbie here day 2.... I had beinners luck and had fireworks yesterday :)
sandy is good. My mum taught me to swim in a pool when I was 3. I LOVED it
RE 6 if not calle
hi wild good for you!!
called
He also hasn't been well, and the pool would be VERY cold to prevent Legionairre's...
yes I'm sure it'll all be fine westie ...your so kind (((hugs)))
hi wild. This grid is much bigger...
been through 4 lol
hello wild
yes it is jillibus
On the other hand maybe taking him somewhere new with the idea of teaching him to swim could help him focus...
sons are easier than daughters and we have 3 of those
hi loredana
sigh......not in my case westie..
Tell me about it, West! I have a son, a daughter and a teen stepdaughter.
not in my case either west
if lake has fish, that may cause problems; pool might be easier to try something new, if not too crowded
and we are lucky enough to have 5 granddaughters!!
OK, I have decided to let Walter decide.
does he like the water?
sounds like a good idea, monkey!
you sure are westie!
lol just
phantom kelogg
He has opted for the lake. Yes he likes water. Yes there are fish, but they mostly stay out toward the middle beyong the it-gets-deeper floating pseudo-barrier.
monkey our 2 yr old doesn't like the pool, is iffy about the lake and wouldn't even put her bathing suit on when we took her to the ocean
so of course she went right into the waves ( with grandpa) in her long pants and jacket it was a hoot
ocean waves can traumatize 2-4 yo s
When I clicked on Ata's youtube video earlier, I found lots of 'stuff in our pool' videos. I can't believe the great pools Aussies have in their gardens.
she loved it
but everyone is different
Only 46 words here just not concentrating on this so ia m out POOF
bye mlf
I have 46 too
bye ML you'll be back in the morning to finish
Though the dog on the water slide did worry me, as he only just missed a stone-slabbed edge each time he emerged off the end. Humans are longer than dogs, so I wondered about kid and parent safety there.
nite
It's the bit that says "Het Wed"...... http://maps.google.com/maps?q=de+wet+h aarlem+netherlands&sourceid=navclient- ff&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGGL,GGGL:2006-38,GGGL :en
116 words here.
got an 8 finally
So next dilemma. I have never taught a kid to swim... Inflatable arm thingies or no inflatable arm thingies?
I'd love to see that dog..how big is it?
Monkey - go back to google with the address and click on Tinyurl.com.
OK... Never done that before... hang on.
Yes, use the inflatable thingeys.
ok im back dinner is up chicken and bacon burgers and fries
My mum held me up by bathing suit straps and walked beside me. Eventually after several such sessions she let go and I didn't notice, paddling away happily.
sounds like the gang will approve kiwi
groovy.. I would hate to see your chloresterol numbers..
We had slow-roased bacon hock and fresh, local vegetables last night.
ruru - stop being such a diet fuhrer.
i hvae very low cholestoral tyvm lol
oh that sounds yum jac
none of the instructors here recommend the inflatables - not allowed; we started at univ pool at 6 months & its a popular program; city program basically same
oh good for you..
We all only get one life and we must choose how to live it and for how long, God willing.
my artieries are hardening just thinking about it
lots of plurals
poached chicken breast with a light gravy made from stock I made from bones and froze, new baby potatoes and fresh swiss chard here
OK, I give up-- it defaults to another location every time I generate a tiny URL. Tried six times. Going to read back in teh chat now...
over here all the primary schools (equiv to your elementary) all have their own swimmin pools and it is part of school ciriculum to learn to swim at school
oh gee jilli that sound yum too
pure
sorry
mostly try gliding back & forth while held under arms , then blowing bubbles, then support torso so they move arms...
I give up,too. Lighten up on the diet stuff, ruru.
I learned to swim when I was thrown in the pool
ignore that
pan fried ham, pierogis and whole green beans here
I think my mum's method was best
ok whats pierogis?
except no straps on boys' suits
diet schmiet...
Monkey you could try http://bit.ly/go for making a tinyURL
My motto for life is, a little of what you fancy does you good, too much of what you fancy may make you fat (or prone to certain cancers), but, you only have one life to live. Do you want to live to 103 when all your friends, all your kids and all of the family that ever bother to visit you are dead??
kind of like a meat stuffed bready calzone kiwi
Will do. OK, so no inflatables. He is now very enthusiastic about this-- I said to him just now, "You know how people wsim in water so that they will not sink?" And he said, "Yes, and I cannot swim, and you will teach me how to swim!" and started making swimming motions with his arms! Guess it's time...
didn't think pierogies were anywhere but Canadian prairies and some place in Europe
it's a kind of turnover stuffed with potatoes and cheese or cabbage ( the kind we had ) that are heated then sauteed
oh yum now im hungrier lol
god help me if I live to 102
or 103
or 103
Mrs. T has frozen ones but these came from a Polish woman who makes them for my aunt
perogis are a Polish dish
you can buy frozen pierogies (all kinds) here
similar to the Jewish Varenika
deep fried often too
or the Chinese dumpling
every nationality has something similar
or ravioli
fresh much better
We have beef pierogis every week.
oh yes!!
but they're poptato things
The Scots, here in UK, deep fry Mars bars.
potato
ugh
ugh, jac!
I heard that jac are they many left? lol
jacula how does it taste?
You can count on them to make something unhealthy even more unhealthy, LOL. That's what my son said when I was being filmed making Scotch Eggs for my blog.
hoer
sorry I'll stop talking
No, idea wildflower.
There's a place on Atlantic Ave. in Brooklyn that deep fries several kinds of candy bars - an English pub type of place
keep talking wild I got 2 words out of it lol
but one more time and you'll have to go to the penalty box
perish the though, zsazsa!
That URL does the same thing. Dang. Oh well. For those interested enough in seeing a map with the mini-lake just go to Google maps and enter Kennemerduinen Haarlem Netherlands, and look for "Het Wet".
they must put them in some kind of batter I would think
or that fryer fat would be kind of goopy
lol
sounds like herseys from hell to me
will you bring the dog too monkey?
oh I wouldn't want to have one just wondered how it was done
Don't do deep-fryed anything. I ddid useed to love a high caffiene bar dunked in freshly made coffee once, when I used to go out on the road with Beloved.
No, it's a nature preserve and dogs have to stay out.
sorry not ignoring ya all just watcing all the wind and rain descruction on the news
bet the dog would love it though
sigh 1 BT anyone got the northeast E?
kiwi, do you know the reason for the scrab. ban?
bad weather for you kiwi?
We'll take the dog to the woods fro a run first. Yes, she WOULD love it there!
no but you can still play via their website
what is the scrab ban?
Kiwi i think sent you an email. I am out of here again BYE
I just read that the Indian brothers who put the game up are being sued by hasbro
i was just curious
dee, I heard Hasbro lowered the boom
I never did figure out how to play... lol..
I used to work for Hasbro
ruru - They're all getting upset about the ban of Scrabulous on Facebook, methinks.
aww... patent rights... that is what happened to online boggle and tangleword
boom isn't that many points anyway
I know
even went to their HO in Pawtucket (sp?)
i think it might have something to do with the fact that you can now play the real scrabble on pogo but only us and canadian players
yes, spelled correctly now pronounce it the way it's supposed to be
The Indian bros who've got the site have seen Hasbro off before and will do again,no doubt.
interesting argument about turf and royalties... bet it will take forever for them to sort things out
I wish they'd stop messing us about -- it's fun to play worldwide -- but we can do that on the scrabulous site via email
been playing scramble (5x5 long words...4 letter and up)
all i know is that i cant play scrabble on pogo but i can play srab from their website ok so i dont mind
why can't you play at pogo?
the news article said half a million people played it every day
because only US and canadian players can
westie ....you should tell nightowl about scramble
west, how should one pronounce Pawtucket?
not with a paw
it's more like puh
you mean P'tucket?
the first t is silent jilli
yeah.....like with a boston accent
lol
we natives can always tell the non natives
Pucket?
lol
as can we westie lolol
nope ruru all t's are there
lol jilli
just kidding
there are some limericks too
Not as nutty as Puyallup, WA, pronounced Pew-allup
all the folks at HO Hasbro in Montreal pronounced it just as its spelled
OK, dropped out there for a bit and now REALLY need to go. Will be back on later after swimming lessons!
I suppose you could say it's a silent w
west, that's Nantucket
have fun
so...anyone got an E work from the top right E????
err E word
have a great time monkey!!
we have some for Pawtucket too lol
but I'm sure they're similar
yes, mar, got 2 of them -- lucky guesses
can anyone guide me to the sa 7?
yeah i got the ks done and dusted lol
care to share?
*thinking* mar
monkeyed those k's and shocked myself kiwi

Hand Jive. I meant.
ah yes Willie

Just got back from talking to my neighbour.
goodnight ruru sleep well see you next time
nite ruru nite katie hugs
good luck everyone
yeah jilli. for a grid with so many words in it, this is killin me
night ruru
gn ruru sleep well
some grids make me want to pu4
how is she jac?
ooh ty jilli didn't see that one lol
was that request, kiwi, or describing cream?
Heck! The binmen are back crashing bottles again.
We sure do live jam and pickles down his road.
no request from me lol
they wanted encore
Or even love down this road.
you know what song will never get out of your head, for days?
i like bread and butter, i like toast and jam
just had to share. bwahaha!
ah ah
They're doing my recycling boxes now.
I like that song
The crash wasn't as loud as that from others. LOL
what color are your bins jac?
well there is both samoan food and samoan money in the grid tonite and they both start ta lol
Why do you want to know that, West?
we have green for paper and blue for bottles and cans..or is it the other way around?
good old island spud huh kiwi
blah lol
glu spud
that's Samoan?
yup sure is
always have associated it with Hawaii but keep forgetting they came from elsewhere
Blue for glass, tin and foil. Red for paper. Not allowed to put thick card in there. Green for garden waste,but not allowed to put veg peelings in there. Oh, and no black platic in the blue box.
sounds like the recycling police have it all thought out
gee we just sort ou4 and put into plastic shopping bags and throw on the footpath to blow away rofl
we can put in cardboard boxes as long as they're broken down
we don't have recycle pickup -- have to lug the stuff to a recycling centre
Being a child of war babies, I've recyclyed all my life. I really don't need some council wallahs telling me what I should and should not do.
fireworks
YAY freep!!!
woopee well done justa
I can remember wrapping wet garbage in newspaper and tying it with a string
woohooo free ^5 wtg your lurker u lol
wd
Kiwi - I hope you wer joking aout the throw away bit.
thats right Jac I am with you on that we recycyled all our lives
If one thing really offends me, it is litter.
kiwi must be joking cause of the wind hey kiwi?
no they usually blow away down the street before they get picked up lol
same here Jac
they should have wheelie bins you pulling our leg?
yeah, I came back and lurked. then lickety'd for the final bunch. not a friendly grid, imo
in Maine we had to take trash and recycling to a site even had to have a special sticker for the car
i FIND THAT UNACCEPTABLE, kIWI.
here it's picked up once a week
Didn't mean to shout.
it used to be like that in NZ 30 years ago west
When we were on Crete, the rubbish was picked up DAILY
that sounds like the best plan
Crete sounds lovely how long were you there?
jac that would be great but did you have to pay more for that service we have to pay through the nose to have recycled items collected
between compost & recycling, only a bit of trash left
night, alllll
night justa
gn justa wtg on fireworks
what a shame lore that you have to pay
l
then we find out that they were dumping it all in the general waste soon sorted that out lazy blighters here
sorry was on the phone - we do the recycling into shoping bags and put them on the roadside and depending on how windy they are is how long they stay there until they get picked up by the collectors
that's terrible
not what groovy said lol what lore said
kiwi inform the council to get up to date with the rest of NZ that is disgusting
hey someof the rest of nz doesnt recycle at all!!!!
I started to ask kiwi an unrelated question and it flew off into cyberspace
i know that auckland and coromandel do
did you catch part of it?
no sorry
what west the rubbish
lol
there it goes again
im so lost in this chog lol
I must keep hitting the wrong button
what are New Zealanders called besides 'kiwis'
austrialians poor cousins lol
australians i mean lol
no lol a real term
just kiwis or new zealanders mainly
nah kiwi south sea poms lol (australian term for NZs)
I saw a reference to it but they didn't say what it was
maybe westie has another huh?
I don't
aoteroas maybe aoteroaians lol
ok i have to run for a bit - ya dont wanna hear me cause im swearing profusely but one friggen cat has pooped on my new carpet and its a icky runny one and i best clean it before it stains be back in a bit
was it referring to Aotearoa west?
ewww kiwi
ok kiwi dont kill the cat ok
no it wasn't lore what is Aotearoa?
native name of NZ west
it means land of the long white cloud
maybe that was it then
how pretty
west australians call us southsea poms
what do you call them? lol
You can do your best, as you may have dibe for the pasr 50 years, to recycle.

the completed puzzle gets shoved up in the archives tomorrow
and look at the link lickety's babble clues in the link section below the grid. that gives you a list of the first two letters of each word. some people like to use it
evening all :))
hi mrp!
Thanks Atalante. I'm looking forwrd to seeing what the other 121 words are! WOW! I think I prefer plain boggle with "house rules" like using the same letter more than once and not using a timer.
hi ata!! ((hugs)) good to see you!
how are you dear?
am doing ok sweetie! slowly getting better, am so looking forward to Spring! The weather has been a killer on the old bones
oh I bet!

Love the pic of doggie :) Lickety is going well... he is out at soccer practice with Luke, and it is bloody freezing out!
urf! "lucky" him!
I really should go and cook them up some dinner... they are going to be frozen when they get in. He is a right sucker for winter sport!
BBS, just need to get the chicken and rice on
he's mad :) summer sports are so much better! water sports! cricket! not standing round freezing one's ar4 off!

Ok, I must go and do the running thing, see you later perhaps.
physicists have a sense of humour?
yeah, who would have guessed
you should send the link to Lickety Josh so we can all see it
bye Red
ha6 = Nancy Regan might have said this of her husband (sort of/ish). Morning all
FM! I am embarassed!
so am I (sorry)
lol
fm? you turning into sprite?
*Gasp* NOOOOOO
loooooool
I have a cat in a bag!
as opposed to a cat in a hat? Have you a pic?
downloading pics now!
here's the link - warning, it is VERY amateur but amusing - http://youtube.com/watch?v=A1L2xODZSI4
that's fab!
*faints* just stumbled over the gu8
Rushing in with the smelling salts for FM..........Hi all.....
Now that's what I call an efficient first aider! Morning cait!
Has FMitch been taken over by aliens? How can I leave the country when she's this close to embarrassing everyone?
lol Morning Haz It's part of my master plan to make sure you don't gooooooo
Hi Haz LOL
Very ingenious, I must say, FMitch.
ty for the gu8!
Phase 2 is to send GC back to you tomorrow
Hi Caitlyn & Haz - was submerged in Ata's photos (always wonderful)
I feel a frisson (as clued by Ata the other day).
oh rats ====> PB here I come and I didnt have that word either
Hi lynxxx
ty lynx!!
Of you go FM.......cup of tea waiting for you there
there is actually 2 gu8's, only one is a plural
ooo which gu8 did you get, FM?
2 x gu's .. cait pass the smelling sa4s again I found the gu8/60
One is a plural type of lace.
I can see Im going to be a busy 1st aider today!
lace??! I don't know any types of lace! apart from chantilly
The other is a heavy for Cleopatra's man.
gu7 - ends in the word that means unadulterated.
It's the lce one I don't have then
Like me Haz??
Yes, caitlyn, like the driven snow.
what a word!
Please don't make me spit out my tea, it's not nice
It used to be very popular for wedding dresses. I know, because I was a sad girl who read descriptions of weddings in the local paper.
LOL
could one get it in pink?
I would imagine so.
Was THAT dress made from it?
Jordan would be happy then
I thought hers was made from parachutes?
You two are obsessed with that woman!
Not me. Ata's the one who reads magazines about her.
But guess what? She was barred from some posh polo event at SMith's Lawn.
1 magazine. you read mag fronts every week!
She was incredibly upset, apparently.
True and we have photographic evidence to substantiate it
I did feel sorry for her this weekend though when she wasnt allowed in to the polo event
there, check my flickr, FM!
I just skim the magazines to see what I'm not going to read.
I didn't! finally it was shown that celebrity doesn't equal - um - class?
*Sudd*whispers* My father was a member of The Guards polo club that played there back in the 70's
ignore Sudd typo
got the gu8's, thanks for the clues
dont' worry FM, I have friends that play for the Guards now :P
Ooooooh. We have celebrity in our midst - that's nearly as impressive as Ata being Einstein's grand-daughter.
ummmaaah FM said a word
not quite though
atalante, fmitch, you guys should go in the penalty box!
Flippin heck, Im not talking any more *stomps around the PB*
She's on a roll, is FM. I don't see her getting out of the PB this side of Christmas.
I didn't say it! I didn't ... um ... well I blame FM for mentioning it first
josh I permanently reside in the PB, if you want to see what it looks like, look at my flikr pics
Absolutely, Ata, FM is certainly to blame.
you can look at silly sily pics while in there :)
Poor FM.............(laughing )
Love the eye, paw and tail one
she's now faaaast asleep in the bag. I think the bag protects her from the evil fan
i can't get the flickr part of my profile to work here
Make sure you add your flickr name in your babble profile and hit update profile, that usually gets overlooked.
have you ticked the right boxes?
oh i try to do that, but it keeps telling me the name is wrong
not sure why, i'm positive i'm entering the right name
go to flickr and copy/ paste the name?
I have no experience of flickr myself, but some others seem to have trouble from time to time, Didn't Jacula have issues with getting flickr to talk to babble?
well, that was the 15th thing i tried
still didn't work. kind of baffling.
yes, jac did
Back in two ticks.
If I go missing at times its because Im doing housework in between babbling!!
house work, what is this foreign word? Never heard of it.
bet enable doesn't accept it
I don't accept it either pah!
LOL it does seem a strange word
as babblers we should pretned it doesn't exist
I will wash the floor of the PB as I have the mop out
mop?
FM you spilt you tea in there, why didnt you clean it up?
cos you have the mop silly :)
LOL
Hello all!!
Well, her father did play in the Gu6 so she's maybe above things like that.
good point
Hi peri
hi peri
need to get as many words as I can now, have an eye doctors appt in a few hours.
Good morning peri!
may I have clues for the 8's please
Weee found the se8 can't see any of the other 90 words but found that one
ph8
One gu8 is a plural type of lace, gu8/60 is someone who might look after a picnic pest?
Hi peri - se6 = Vivaldi's 4 se's and extend for the 8
great clue, Haz, got the gu8/60
don't know anything about lace though
or Vivaldi :(
gu7 - gu, a vowel, then the driven snow word, plural for the 8.
What a joy you have alead of you then peri, google or youtube Vivaldi
Meandering off - stuck on 63 and only 2 of the 7s found. see you all tomorrow
i know some things about vivaldi :) thanks for the clues FM
Bye lynxxx.
I will FM
yw josh
Bye lynxxx see you later
I now have Vivaldi playing in my head!
Bye lynxxx
got the gu7/8, thanks Haz, new words for me
I was saying earlier, peri, I used to read descriptions of weddings and that lace seemed to be popular at the time.
need more help with se8 and ph8 please
peri obviously doesn't flick through wedding mags
no I don't, Ata
se8 - if you find the word that refers to what spring, summer and winter are examples of, make it an adejctive.
got it, thanks Haz
ph8 - run together the Egyptian ruler and sweet smelling flowers.
thanks Haz, have all the 8's now
You're welcome, peri.
Sigh, I keep forgetting plurals, going though my list has just given me a load more words
Speaking of morewords.....
lol see how neatly I worked that into the conversation for you Haz
yay for morewords.com!
You should think of a career in TV, working in links.
morewords.com, the babbler's friend.
Hello everyone. Finally a big grid again.
Hi there!
How is your Walter, MG?
Hello Scrabs, it is indeed and a tad feisty Hi Monkey
Good morning Scrabbler, and Monkey.
morning all;)
I must get my eyes tested I thought Scrabs asked how is your Water?
hi crosshair
Morning Scrabbler and cross
My water is yucky well water--stinky, but safe and potable.
Hi cross
And monkey!!
I feel your pain, FMitch.
Darn it, he was a LOT better yesterday, although still tied. But today he's pale and grumpy again, and had a headache this morning. He insists he feels OK but then has collapses and is quite pale.
Hi caitlyn
ok, that's it. to the grid i go
Poor boy---any cough?
Have you given up on flickr, joshua?
Monkey to tie him??
Go Joshua go!
i gave up on flickr long ago. i've given up on finding words without the grid, though
No cough at all. He's also getting quite stir-crazy even though we did get out to his playgroup yesterday.
That was supposed to say TIRED, Caitlyn! My bad!
Oh thats a relief Monkey LOL
morning gang
Morning feather!!
Good morning feather.
hi feather!
I sure hope he can go to daycare tomorrow but I'm starting to have my doubts. But he's missed a lot and could use the socialization and being away from me, and i could use the break (used to have school Thursdays but it's summer).
how old monkey?
Almost 4.
breakfast is ready, brb
Scrabbs, what sort of course should I expect if it were, say, Lyme Disease? We have more infected ticks here than the rest of Europe combined. Not that I have seen one on him.
help with U words please
Hows things with you Scrabbler
I have no u words yet, sorry!
just found one, ur4/5
and ur5/12
Sorry, I stepped out to set up some e-mail Scrabble games.
Hi Feather
someone clued the up7 earlier
ok, will look
up + h5/14
Lyme diease typically presents with either a "bull's eye" rash or aflu-like illness (aches, fever, headache).
don't have the h but will look, thanks josh
up7 - what I do with pictures of GC.
I know that up to 20% don't get the rash, and he has had headache and a runny nose for some time now, but only the low fever the one day.
thanks Haz, but that is not helping
FMitch--I am doing well--planets have lined up for me, haha. My cough is improving, my sciatica is improving, Mr Fix-It Man repaired my sump pump piping yesterday and will do some other little projects around here soon.
ho5 - to store away, sometimes on an obsessive basis.
Thats not you Haz
Oh dear, didn't know you had all that on your plate! Glad to hear it's on the improve!
ah, thanks Haz and josh
MG, it is most likely that Walter has a bacterial sinusitis at this point.
Good to hear Scrabs
*dreads to think what haz does with pics of GC*
Sometimes everything is going wrong to some degree, and sometimes everything is just right.
I don't need pictures of GC--he is upstairs in bed, sleeping in a bit.
That example was merely hypothetical, you understand.
When you have the real deal living with you, pictures don't really matter.
(Keep talking nicely to Scrabbler, her delusions are stronger in the morning before the meds work)
gc?
help with E in upper right
OK, thanks. Nothing comes OUT... poor kid. Now, teh doctor told me to use the decongestant for a week and then come back if he's still ill. But you, the package insert, and online resources say five days. I'm thinking maybe take him in on Friday, day 5, if he's not much better. As someone no doubt often overworked due to overconcerned moms like me, do you think I should do that or just wait through the weekend? That's if he's not significantly better.
Poor cross. Not to know who GC is. George Clooney.
LOL Haz
If I had a webcam, sweet GC could look at you. (keeping my fantasy going here)
oh i see your hearts are all going pitty-pat over clooney lol
ep4/6 and its plural. ep plus half the laughing fence.
Saw Rutger Hauer on a bike a few years ago... since we're on celebrities...
MG---sinusitis is overtreated in the US, for sure--people get antibiotic treatment for the common cold. But if he is not better after 10-14 days he likely does have a treu bacterial sinusitis and thus feels awful.
Laughing fence?
thanks Haz
, laughing fence!NM!
I know I dont get out much but who is Rutger Hauer?
I don't know, Monkey. You're taking advice from a doctor who thinks that George Clooney lives with her. Doubtful, very doubtful.
*snorts with giggles*
we get that here a lot scrabs,too many super bugs out now that can eat antibiotics for breakfast,some docs are even going back to the old sulfa based treatments to give things a rest im told
So if i see even gradual improvement, though, he should just get better on his own, right? And would daycare be detrimental? He likes it there. I just don't want to make him worse by letting him be too active... that happened the day we took him to the zoo (Saturday).
God, I hope he hasn't developed a pet allergy... but his eyes aren't red.
bangs head on desk
SCRABS..MY DOC refuses TO PERSCRIBE ANTIBIOTICS until a fever is 48 hours old...unless of course...is a HIGh temp
there, there, fm
LOL !!
stop that right no FMitch! You have a very nice head
head banging fm?....
cool crayons carlee
Spaces are available in the Home for the Bewildered.
Hi carlee and Eva
It's my waffling on, isn't it? I'm sorry!
oh man...george is back????
you know fm,banging your head on the desk uses 54 calories per hour and feels so good when you stop;))
brb
hi caitlyn et al
FM do you need my 1st aid skills?
Oooh, I could use one of those spaces, Haz!
Lifts slightly bruised head. Hello Eva and carlee. Not this time thanks cait, I cheated and put a cushion down first.
me too
with cushion=25 calories per hour;)
54 calories an hour for head banging on desk? Who knew? It could sort out the obesity and mental health crisis in one fell swoop.
the home for the bewildered that is....not putting pillows down to bang head
lol cross
I was off setting up Scrabulous games again, and making breakfast for George.
depends on the force used haz:))
seeing as i'm supposed to be starting a trip to grandma's in an hour and a half, i'd better stop watching the chat and start loading the van! bye all. srabs, i'll catch up with scrabble games via email later!
Hi Carlee
and the hardness of the head
how many cals for electroshock therapy?
Bye feather have a good visit
indeed eva
Really did see Hauer. I was walking along the sidewalk, and he was stopped at a red light on his bicycle right next to me. Of course, this was in Amsterdam,a nd he does live there and all.
Bye featherbee!
ata I thought you wrote "how many cats for ECT" and was really trying to figure that one out. Not enough sleep.
Still, if it all counts as exercise, and if, as you say, you feel good afterwards, maybe head banging is the way forward. And office workers have no excuse either.
Bye feather have fun
looool :)
wicked thunderstorm here..satelite out
Bye feather.
I was told that during a thunderstorm you should turn computers off.......is that true ?
of course one must really take care when deciding what the desk itself is made of haz....
don't like this grid. I'm getting grumpy.
yes,it is a safe practice cait
I don't but I do have a power surge breaker plug on the main socket
in theory, cait. if you don't have a surge protector, which I think we do built into the system. the US doesn't so much
If the computer is wireless it shouldn't make any difference should it?
Hi
Thanks........I hate storms we had a nasty one the other day
Scrabbler, did you see my further annoyingly-bugging-you questions about it getting better on its own and daycare? I'll leave you alone in a minute, ai promise...
I don't know if I have a surge protector. It sounds manly.
i have a surge protector
Hi herin
i love them
if you have newish wiring over here, there should be some surge protecton built in. I *think*
Hi. i don't know when i will be back on line as the internet provider is SUCKING
We had a whole house surge protector installed at the junction box, as major appliances were getting zapped regularly.
Hi herin! Mine sucks too. Hang in theer!
Eva that is not good. Virgin mobile has gone down
As I dont know if I have a surge protector I will stick to turning it off if there is a storm about
My friend's house in the countryside was hit by lightning a few years ago. REALLY hit. Fused the insides of all the appliances and every nail jumped out of the walls.
Wow Monkeyu that is scary
scrabbs,on the count of 3 we are all going to bend over and cough,you get the glove ready;) lol
so is this a grumpy grid?
wow! My old house was struck, but it only blew some shingles off the roof and fried the clothing on the laundry line (metal poles).
That sounds terrible Monkey
You bet! And it was about three minutes after her husband left the flooded basement.
I am stilling a friends internet
might just be my brain carlee
This is indeed a grumpy grid. I am stuck utterly at 85 words.
well..either way..no time for one of this size
help with K words please
It really wasnt her day was it Monkey
just found ke4/8 :-)
No. But it could have been SO much worse!
*catching up with chat and laughing at Hazel's comment about surge protectors sounding manly---hahaha**
I am stealing a friends internet
*wondering how one steals the internet?*
worst of the line is over now..just heavy rain :)
It's like killing time.
or stilling it
Get their net connection and plug it into ones internet
r
Poor Walter wants to go out onto the deck and play in his wading pool andpaint the chair we foundhim but I think it'll start raining here any second.
OK, I must get ready for a long day of work. Bye all. Enjoy the day.
I must go and do a bit more house wifely duties!!(I dont get paid enough for this.........hang on, I dont get paid at all) See you all later, bye
Hugs Scrabbler
you can steal the internet in many ways scrabs.one of them is called waredriving.that is where you use your wireless to try and "tap" into someone elses wireless signal
Real quick... if there's gradual improvement he won't need antibiotics right?
Bye cait and Scrabs
Let him play and go to day care, if he wants to, MG. Keep him happy and if he is not better on Friday have him seen again.
tc scrabbs,and hug the bunnies for me;)
See this is not stealing per say as that is bad for ones karma
he will if he has bubonic plague. that involves a snotty nose
OK, thank you so much... again!
Ah, yes, crosshair, the connection to the internet.
poor walter....rough go with this summer ocld :(..i always hated getting summer colds..they are the worst
As far as I know there's no plague outbreak here right now, but my friend was just redirected from the French campsite she was planning to use.
If not better I would certainly prescribe antibiotics--a cold virus should be gone by 2 wks or so.
Enjoy the day everyone!!
Bye Scrabbler.
OK, thanks again. I'll see how he is. He's crashed again today but is STILL better than before we got the nose spray.
Have a great day Scrabbs!
bye scrabs
Maybe he has trypanosomiasis. Has he been to Africa recently?
new mothers:) got to relax i know its hard.when our boy was young he had a bad cold for 2 solid weeks then it just blew away and he was climbing the walls the next day
ata! dont give her ideas
loool
HE hasn't... One of the neighbors was just in Ethiopia though. Not that I took that as a serious suggestion, for the record.
lupus? *goes through Dr House's normal suggestions*
if lupus,keep out of sun
(trypanosomiasis does give headaches and fever, and owieness. and flake out sessions.) lol
d
lets not forget rocky mtn spotted fever...
It's never lupus. Maybe it's neurocystocercosis.
lol just trying to relax you a bit monkey:)
It'd be pretty hard to get RM fever here...
it was lupus once!
How far can a tick swim?
i heard a tick can live for weeks
a long way, especially when carried on something else
True, it WAS lupus once.
If they do it in relays, ticks can cover vast distances.
there is a illness you can get from having giant praying mantis bugs as a regular part of your diet.....
Well, I'm just going to stick to Scrabbler's advice which differes from the advice I got at the doctor here only in that she says not to use the spray for more than 5 days and they said 7.
Is there really? What?
its all that purple blood i suppose...
Hmmmm...
yes, sounds like scrabs is a wise doc
Can you get the same illness by eating more small ones?
I'm just hoping I don't have to miss more of my apprenticeship. This sure has been dragging on.
i assume so,ive never caught enough to find out
I'm a doctor too. No-one ever asks me stuff *sigh*
HOW can there be more to words????
Now, see, Ata, I did not know that. I'm sorry. I will commence mercilessly bugging you for a change now. Didn't mean to leave you out!
What did you make of the fossil they found in a rockery Ata?
Are you any particular KIND of doctor, so I know how to gear the pestering?
ok monkey,unload on her! :))
She made it into something?
LOL
Wouldn't that be a laugh. Someone finds a priceless fossil and some well-meaning artist drills holes and makes it into a sculpture.
ata? i think i have borneo jungle fungus:/
Put a preying mantiss on it, Cross.
lol
it got sick as well
Hmmm. Better soak it in brandy, then.
raining so hard here now i cant see across the road:/
poor praying mantis
here comes the thunder and lightning
That heppened here the other day. Talk about torrential.
fossil? rockery? what??
i think it was the foor odour ata
foot
It won't notice much after the brandy soaking.... For the record, I do actually like them very much an dwouldn't REALLY do that.
Yup a forerunner of the haddock aparently was on TV yesterday
really? wah! how come I didn't see that??!
you soak praying mantis in brandy?
But really, Ata, what kind of doctor? Just curious.
you were out getting your prints
lol
better be a shrink today:))
well I specialised in whirling disease for quite a while during studying
Do they improve if you whirl them?
Was Ata out getting finger-prints done? What HAVEyou been up to now, Ata?
naw,they just throw up from all that brandy
whirling disease is very serious. it can kill millions
My uncle is a doctor of paleomagnetism and my aunt is a doctor of anthropological linguaistics...
cross you are a hoot!
palaeomag? what's his name?
Gary Scott.
moi? nothing of course!
Invented shielded rooms.
so if i need a fast translation from punic to sanscrit they can help ata/
No, but if you want to revive a dead language my aunt's you, umm, man.
Is this the part where we boast about our relatives? You go first, Ata.
shielded rooms?
why would i want to revive a dead language? once i learned it,who would i chat with??? lol
The rooms that entirely cut off the Earth's magnetic field allowing more in-depth study, especially o ffossils.
I never boast about my relatives!
So modest!
oh gosh, I never fossil people needed that sort of thing!
My aunt helps American Indian tribes recover their languages.
No, of course you don't.
would be just me and your momma i suppose
how does that help looking at fossils?
Thanks to these rooms I have smoked weed outside the Earth's magnetic field. Sorry to say there was no difference.
try smoking week is a sweedish sauna
We could have an alternate babble grid made of deak languages, mind you with some of the words that come up here we probably already have it.
The magnetics of nearly anything revert to the location of magnetic North at the time the fossil (or rock, etc.) formed, making for better dating.
*dead
not much difference either,but the company is nice;)
I'd pass out, cross. This I know.
all those tall blonde women...
oh right. I never realised that was a big part of paleo studies
ouch! wife just cuffed me upside the head! violence!
Have looked up whirling disease. Ata, are you an oceanographer? My grandfather's an oceanographer.
lol wonder why cross ;)
she has no sense of humor
is he? wow, you have a clever family. and I don't think oceanographers would be very interested in whirling disease
Is that the one that plays the harmonica MG?
Can't be true, Cross. She'd never survive.
Maybe it's her newest form of exercise? It's bound to be worth a few calories, cross.
Yes, FM. He's a retired folklorist and folk singer as well.
wow. thats amazing!
His website's at samhinton.org
so if im practicing my driving with my golf clubs,and put one into the ocean,and it gets stuck in a piolet whales blow hole i can call you grandpa?
That side of the family is indeed really interesting. The other side... well... hmmm.
better to call a marin ebiologist, or diver's marine rescue :P
ah a Seinfeld fan
i know she has infinate patience
No, he's 91. Doesn't whale-wrangle anymore. Maybe he could recommend someone, though.
do i play it where it lies,or can i take a drop?lol
you could just ask nicely for your ball back of course.
there is that...
But the whale might not speak English.
think i need my tea and meds...
True. I have enjoyed the company of the pilot whales I've met.
so this dating fossils thing ... hoe far back does it work?
It might speak a dead language instead.
fossil dating works back as far as you like due to carbon dating ata
I'll have to ask him that. I think theoretically as far back as they're from, though-- simple (I am told) magnetism effect.
whalely old latin
morning all
Good morning sadie.
morning Haz
Hi Esprit and sadie
wow that's clever. I'm amazed that these boxes aren't everywhere, must be much easier than working out age stratigraphically
hiya FMitch
He has built around 30 shielded rooms so far, I think, at labs all over the world. Rome, Santa Cruz, Berkeley, Sweden... But right now he's at a homo habilis dig in Spain.
found the greek temple and the god of love (in the grid that is) not on a dig :)
I'd have been VERY surprised if you hadn't found the god of love.
He hasn't been in the grid for ages
He's been worn out.
mmm finding teeth in baking hot digs. fuuun
Hi all.......please somebody clue me the first 2 da words....can't for the love of me find them?
da4/7 slang word for an italian
Hello Flask - da4/7 - term of insult for a foreigner
Actually he's finding remains of meals in shady caves...
Here's a web page about these rooms. http://myweb.facstaff.wwu.edu/bernieh/ paleomag/ffroom.htm
Hi Flask
help with sa7 please
da5 = da + cons + heavy weight
da6 - the Bond actor, Timothy
OK, I really should go do something productive now. Like help Walter paint that chair. Back sporadically; have fun all!
I know feel like a right fool.....its so easy!!!
oh right. that stuff. still hot and toothy
and help with ga7 too please
now I can't even spell properly!!...lol
No need, Flask.
thanks Haz!
Peri, haven't got very far with the 7s.
ok, must get ready for my doctors appt. will be back later
See you, peri.
Haz...do you have the da6 to follow?
I should go too. Hair appt soon!
she clued it at 6.54 Flask
Ooo Ata, have fun look forward to hearing what was decided.
Thanks Mitch...never saw it.....too busy feelish slightly folish....lol...thanks!
can you sense the outrage from the furbrats about to be abandoned for the afternoon?!
da6 - same structure as the TV family whose goodnights lasted forever.
yw :)
The whole afternoon? Call yourself a responsible pet owner?
thanks Haz!....Mitch pointed out earlier clue....thanks a lot!
I know. about 3 hours. maybe even *4*
You're welcome, Flask.
What are you getting done? Cut and colour?
yep. and my hair takes twice as long as most people's because it's thick and there's far too much of it
and its 20 mins into canterbury and 20 mins back etc etc
Well your grandfather had a big mop of hair too didn't he
My elder daugher's hair is like that. They schedule extra time for the blow drying. She doesn't get it from me, that's for sure.
good point, FM
morning (at least on this side of the atlantic)
Good morning Dorens.
I get it from my father. its a pain in the backside, even though most people go "oohh you have such thick lovely hair". no. not lovely
Morning Dorens
My daughter is always amused that if she pats my head, she can feel my scalp.
ooo!
I'm sure my hairdressers groan when I go in!
Hers is so thick that all you feel is hair.
wow! that was a nasty bolt of lightning! but the house out of action for 15 min:/
put
Do they get hedge shears out when you appear?
ok. I'm going. ditto here, haz! I need to find some food before appt
no, they run away :P
All OK though cross?
Okay, Atalante - enjoy the hair thing as much as you can and see you later.
now..where were we? banging your head on a desk to help with borneo jungle fungus?
enjoy your cut ata
We've had shielded rooms since then, cross.
wew were looking for your golf ball but the whale dived so it has gone
I will! I get through about half a book each time I'm there :D
byeee! glad you're ok, cross
hi everyoe
Oh! Maybe they'll have magazines about Jordan for you to read, Ata!
i had that the other day cross... big thunder, no lights, happened ttwice within the half hour. welcome back
Hello Becca - how are you and the little one?
oh!!! maybe! if I learn anything exciting, you'll be the first to know, don't worry
hi becca
*really poofs*
well,in that case i wont be able to play the ball from where it lies:/
hi Haz - we're oth very well thanks
feeding and babbling at same time hence poor typing
hi Dorens
Good for you! Your typing looks fine to me.
can't do anything else while feeing so good excuse to play!
So, he's three weeks old now. How are you holding up?
Congratulations Becca I missed the news of his arrival!
oh yes! i haven
t been aware either.. how lovely!
very well really. he sleeps well, feeds well. doesn't like the heat tho
hi F
hi fmitch
crossy slowly backs out of the room as the women are talking babies....
No, it's a problem when they're tiny. Your instinct is to wrap them up, but it's too hot! I'm glad that feeding is going well.
hi crosshair!
Hold your ground, cross!
We'll not go into too much detail, don't you worry!
mine is 14 and we are already making plans for his room! lol
Besides, maybe it's nice for you NOT to talk about babies, Becca? It does become all-consuming at first.
its ok,she is proud momma
certainly is all consuming!
other topics welcome
yes, and babble probably provides a welcome respite
Okay, who will we talk about? Oh yes, Ata's gone so we can talk about her.
keeps my braiin active dorens
lol Haz!
Apart from Ata's Jordan obsession, I'm worried about those poor animals of hers, left alone in a house.
Becca is that your new bub?
You'd think she could cut her own hair and save leaving them, wouldn't you?
Jordan the country or the model??
hi herin, yes tha's him
and she's leaving the country on Friday *sob*
Oh, the model. What Ata doesn't know about Jordan isn't worth knowing.
should of seen it earlier,all the room a pitty-pat over clooney,was a mess
lol!
where's Ata goin? permnently?
you were jealous croos, admit it
oh i watched the good german last night., he is just too divine
steady ladies....
cross - we treat Scrabbler gently, we're hoping that with therapy she'll come through the delusions.
Well Congratulations. I have been a tad awol lately
US for 6 weeks Becca
assuming the clooney of reference is my george
Is any other Clooney worth referring to?
oh ok haz,i will be gentle
where/why is ata coming to the us?
Forewarned is forearmed, so to speak.
thanks herin
She's been deported, Dorens.
ok, i must have missed a great comversation then
Well, your loss is our gain! Oh, greetings, all
um visiting friends in oregon and is exhibiting at dragon.com in Atlanta I think
She's being sent to Oregon and then to a correctional facility in Atlanta.

sorry don't ahve it
Hello everyone.
Hi all.............plural the bear
tks anyway herin
thanks chiley, so often forget that style
Hi chilley
ur 5 sort of what you do with the end of a pencil
I wish i could go to bed
why can't you herin?
I am with my b.f and we are at a friends place he is doing his thing with his friends i am not here.
oh herin, that is most frustrating
well its my fault so its me to blame. This is his night out with the boys im not going to interupt him
how about just curling up on the couch
I could if i wanted my friend has a fairly comfy bed.
hmmm, have to wonder why you would tag along
This i know as i stayed the night when we were babysitting a very upset friend
FLosey my pc was broken and i needed the b.fs brains to fix it. He got home late
On the upside i get to use the internet as mine is not working. For some stupid reason
ok, understand - and sorry, really non of my business
at least you can get on with babble
*none
No its ok. Flossey. I did start it. I am just wondering how many Starbuck stars are closing in aus.
now that would concern me!!
People were told today first by the paper which states would close but people that worked for them got told today that by Sunday they have no job.
when I go back to TO, I have to go a distance to find Starbucks - in Vancouver they're everywhere
Its not a concern so much but there is another industry plant is closing to and so many people aren't going to have a job.
that is very discouraging herin
Have you seen the 18 pages of closures in the states. About 12 000 people wont have jobs.
I now take my own coffee when I go back to Toronto
wow, no I haven't seen an American paper, and we didn't get a paper yesterday, so behind in the news
I use Ometepe coffee and it has been held up at the American border - why, I don't know
I don't like starbucks coffee, Chai tea yes. But so many people about 600 in Aus aren't going to have a job. Its really sad. I used to work in the hospitality industry. The place I used to work at Schlotskys Deli just closed its doors at Midnight and the next day we turned up to work to see a big GO AWAY sign. What was in our lockers we couldn't retrieve
we do have a roasting company here on Salt Spring though, and it
good coffee
herin, that's terrible
mmm coffee. I lived near a maker and it smelled good tasted like crap. In the fog in winter the fog tasted like brewed coffee
they had to move the roasting plant, neighbours were complaining
That is why i feel for these people. Its really hard to get and keep a job in the hospitality industry.
very sad
Wow. I could see why the neighbours would complain. Burnt coffee smells awfull
oh yes, it does indeed, if anyone has ever had coffee boil over on a stove
it would happen every once in a while back in the days of percolators
It happens regularly to me with bad barristers. Over cooking the coffee blar.
barristers? that is a lawyer here, and blar? sorry don't know that word
sorry let me try that again.
Ok Barista's are the people that brew the coffee. A bad one makes the coffee taste horrid. Sorry i mistyped
ok, understand now, thanks
Opps tired eyes bad spelling. Helps with babble though
I don't order coffee in a restaurant unless I know what they're brewing and if they make it regularly
are we the only ones in here?
I don't order from places unfamiliar as i get concerned that they are trying to poison me with milk instead of soy
Hiya everyone!!!!!
hi there movieman
Nope there would be a MM Hello
Have either of you found any 7s or 8s yet?

our dog was a better mouser than our cat
I have two good Rat dogs and a Border Collie
My best friend had Jackies
We also have a cat, a horse, 4 sheep, one cow, a horse and 10 chooks
out dog was golden retriever
Big lot of land then Sandy?
what are chooks
What's a chook?
Flosey so you had a Vacuum on legs?
are you on a farm sandy?
Only 7.5 acres but very near to the city and absolutely gorgeous.
Chooks are chickens
lovely
A chook is an Aussie chicken Judi
Well, color me educated.
sandy, your babble name is a sometimes nickname of one of our daughters
lol
she is sandra louise
Oh I am a Sandra Leonie
Hi judi
interesting, nice name
what is it with old places and boarded up fireplaces?
Hi again, back for a few minutes. Walter has painted his chair (anyone know how long it takes 1 cm thick acrylic paint to dry?) and is eating his lunch.
pardon my random tangent
Hi Monkey and no idea
Tell Walter it will be dry in about 5 mins
Hopefully a matter of mere days.
Ugh. Chairs are the worst, Monkey. Give a few good hours. Unless it's humid where you are, then longer.

Good morning to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?
What goes through the minds of the young? Walter just started whining and when I asked what's wrong, he pointed out that everyone in Dora just won a medal but he doesn't want one. What's that to be upset about> His brain just wants him to practice being upset I guess...
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

just looked it up -- Hughes apparently did not invent the bra -- but about 10 other people take credit for it!
was probably some cave wench with giant hooters!
babble is behaving funny - keeps freezing on my and I have to keep refreshing
actually claims go back to the Minoans so you are not that far off!
but you have to love the fact that otto titsling's name is in there - how perfect would that be
lol -- had a chuckle at that one too

I was outraged about the lack of pudge, as well, redshoes.

hi peri
hi peri
hello peri. bye mlf
hey here's a question, if you were making a noun to talk about something that was aerodynamic, what would you make it? aerodynamicity? aerodynamicality? aerodynamism?
was thinking about tea recently. Drinkg coffee in the am and was thinking of going back to drinking tea. less tea and more anti oxidants
aerodynamicly
I did take that into consideration Vi. Thanks for the affirmation. =)
oops that is not a noun
I think it's "aerodynamics." But I like aerodynamism.
but you can't say something has aerodynamics, can you?
um...too many letters in a row for redshoes to think about it at all. sorry.
you'd have to specify that it had good or bad aerodynamics
You would say it is aerodynamic.
sounds like a verb
-ism I would think
no, you say something IS aerodynamic
See, redshoes... thinking like me!
"i have my doubts about that car's aerodynamism"
aerodynaticism?
aerodynamicism?
or "aerodynamic ability"
aerodynamic properties
no, you would say you have your doubts about it's aerodynamics.
just what I was going to say, Vi
no it would be aerodynamics...not ism
and it would be its, not it's
don't you think aerodynamism gives a slightly different nuance than aerodynamics?
i think i shall coin the -ism for my own enjoyment.
Afternoon, y'all.
Hi Judi
as many of you know, my motto is, "shakespeare made up words - so can we!"
good plan, hurshy
not as oft-used, perhaps, as my other motto, "if you can't be british, be as british as you can"
Up with isms. The world needs more isms.
"oft-used"--brilliant hurshy! cheerio!
Interesting. Would "oft-used" be a hyphenism?
then there's "some people just happen to be cats. they can't help it. they were born that way."
indeed i think it would judi
I see a hybrid dictionary in your future, Hursh.
Prius. n.
"There are two means of refuge from the misery of life--music and cats" Albert Schweitzer
well i will see if there is any work i can be doing, may be back in a bit
and chocolate
SO when your cat scratches you, I guess the only remaining refuge is to compose music about it?
but of course, chocholate!
or to screech musically
Ahhh, chocolate. That's the ticket.

Peri: gizmo's close friend.
ga6/33 - thingy in the kitchen, as in Inspector Ga6
duh, thanks Vi
and Judi
She would be if I'd let her, Ata. But I told her she'd have to do something that didn't require my assistance for a while. So she's making a "book" about jewelry.
Her brother is lobbying to have her include "nose pinchers" in her list of jewelry types.
lol Vic. Could be worse. She could have taken up tatooing or body piercing.
She is declining, on the grounds that she "doesn't really like those."
Could be much worse, indeed, Judi.

Hmmm... good point, icepyro. No sense in insulting her behind her back!
indeed we must wait for her to return and then insult her viciously, especially considering she left without warning while we were going to insult her the first time!
jk
brb
Better watch out, icepyro. Who knows what rumors I'll start about you while you're gone!
*mutters* Of course, no one will hear my beautiful rumors .

Well, icepyro, perhaps you're setting your sights a bit too glamorous. I mean, not everyone can be an international man of mystery or a leader of a drug cartel, or run off with the minsiter's wife, or something.
You want people to believe your rumors you'd better stick with exceptional halitosis or dysfunctional pets.
phone hasn't rung for a couple of hours and as soon as I join the chat it rings. Life is so unfair bbl
*waves at FM*
I'd settle for "single lonely guy looking for a girlfriend and will treat her nice"
But icepyro, if that's TRUE, it doesn't count!
oh
And remember my motto: You're never lonely with an eccentric bird on your head.
that might explain it
goodmorning
I havent seen many owls around here, and while a crow would be cool also, I havent died with great injustice yet to earn one of them
Poor icepyro. I'm sure there's some nice woman eagerly awaiting your kind offer. But for gosh sakes, get off the computer and go out and talk to her!
g'mornin lynxxxxxxx
Yeah, I'm not sure a crow is worth that !
Hello, lynxxx.
sa5.10 fat man, chimney, but change that last vowel
point me to her and Id be happy to :P but this is california where status seems to mean more than personality
what about a raven?
Good Evening everyone/ morning .
Oh well, don't ever listen to any advice on dating from me. I was always the world's worst dater.
there she is!
Does it croak "Nevermore" all the time?
hi Elder
brb
Ata, I was trying to start rumors about you.
yay! Hit the 200 mark...taking a break...bbl
What's so hard about dating? The guy picks you up, he pays for everything, you get a headache. Date over.
ooooh fab! like what?
Hello Lynxx, how are you ?
Well, I don't know about you, Judi, but I always attempted to maintain a passable discussion in between.
meeting someone?
that's what's ha4/6 about dating!
mmm... 12:37 I began...
very well Elder TY. You?
I haven't dated anyone in 23 years. Marriage, you know.
been divorced 6 years, but I haven't either...
Jump back on that horse, Jessmom.
I double da** you to go out on a date
gullibility and low self esteem got me into that marriage, I'm afraid to try again
Lynxx , fine thank you , bit sticky due, to high humidity, but it seems thats what on offer if we have warm /hot days this year.
you can go on a date while married!
You are sadder but wiser, Jessmom. Wisdom consists in not making the same mistake twice. So, now go out there and make all new mistakes!
that was the prob with the ex, he was dating while married...
Speaking from a guy's perspective (but one who's celebrating 20 years next week), a woman who likes word play (ala Babble) is more than half way there to being a good catch!
just with your husband / wife
aww, thanks Mark (blushing)
And like Judi said, just go out and make different mistakes! Heck, we all do. I'm not sure there aren't very many I haven't made in the last 20 years of marriage.
Actually, I expect that jessmom is happier and wiser!
I agree with mark, intelligent conversation is becoming harder and harder to come by it seems
Yes, blissfully, ecstatically divorced, but a bit lonely
Well, daughter is back to work on bracelets, son is demanding help with legos, my chance at conversation (intelligent or otherwise) with adults (virual or otherwise) is over. Back later, no doubt. Goodbye, all.
Yes, TV and the internet have shortened everybody's attention span, as well as our ability to converse in other than sound bites.
bye dear!
bye vic
bi Vi
listening quietly, read an interesting article relating to short attention spans - here's a summary:
my that is short. well put too. jk
there's a dwindling group of traveling bards in Rajasthan, India who can narrate epic poetry for seven or eight nights in a row
Aaarrgh! How can there be 160 MORE words left in the grid. I must not be seeing well today.
:) - still going, icep
so the problem is not that they can't remember the poems - they can - but they claim their audiences - the local village people do not have the attention span to SIT THROUGH THE PERFORMANCE!
*listens intently*
they quoted an oldtimer who complained that the youth are spoiled from watching TV!
Maybe they're not telling it right!
well if by "right" you mean with flashy animated computer assisted technology, I suppose so
No, just funny voices. :-)
so of course another centuries old tradition is slowly dying out with this generation
sorry, seemed rather humorously ironic to comment on short attention spans and then say here's a summary: and thats it.
you were quick, ice pyro, I'll give you that!
or maybe thats just my messed up sense of humor
I was not aware that there were still bards in this world. I would love to see such a performance.
hello again - please clue the re6/18 and then prob need a fish
ursh give me one good re6/18 why I should help you:)
re 6/18: give me a good re**** why I should help ursh.
no rhyme or re*****
they do it at annual festivals with large gatherings of people from neighboring villages - they use a painted scroll to assist them in remembering the stories -

I've missed you Dr. Ata. LOVED your bit in the chog this morn. It can always be Lupus.
Finished ..
oh yes, it can :D

Wonderful, Elder. Congrats!
Congrats Elder!
Wow.. a Rocky Horror reference
Thank you, I thought I would be here for ever !!!
phew! *someone* noticed!
:)
I am a babbler for Barack Obama.I agree with hurshy
I never made it the whole way through Rocky Horror..
I just can't say anticipation without adding the pause!
moving right along here, 34 left
I'm a babbler for Canada.
very hot here today, in the 90's
LOLIcouldn't venture a guess how many times I've seen it
I'm a babbler for fish! fish and chocolate
NOT moving right along!46 left!I'm not going to finish
You can do it, Min!
clue for ph 8 please
nor me, cad
ph8 - plural lighthouses at alexandria
96 left, but few bumps so far.
53 left and suffering
I am listing though, that helps.
10 more!
50 and have gone to List
nt getting the clue ata
Is that Alexandria Virginia or Egypt?
need another break, bbs
there's another alexandria outside egypt?
Of course I have no vote... but who ever, is in the White House impacts here on our little island. and if I may, given my limited knowledge of American Politics say that I thought it was wrong that Mr Bush was handed another term, following the last voting procedures. ..
I agree w/you elder. Hopefully it won't happen again.
Alexandria, Virginia
mr bush was not "handed" another term. He was elected to another term
More than a little impact on us up North as well. This election has the potential to be a very momentous occasion. Hopefully we all come out okay :)
Boo = try a mix of ancient leaders of Egypt & flowers
oh. very well known world wide :P
got ty
He was "elected" but not by popular vote.
One of the Seven Wonders of the World
no president is elected by popular vote. '
none of our presidents is elected by popular vote
if the electoral college system is to be replaced, it will require an constitutional amendment
If, i was able to vote I would vote Barack, and we can only hope for better times to come. History will confirm one way or the other.
the system is what it is, it is changeable too
230 total, right?
yes phae
yes, phae
yes
Adams, Hayes, Bush and Harrison won electoral but not "popular" vote.
thnx
K21. aaah, interesting ..
no president has been elected a majority of eligible voters
should one of the questions be is *that* acceptable?
by definition it HAS to be acceptable, since it is determined by the constitution
I am stopping at 194 words & 1985 points.Don't care about finishing today. I will see you tomorrow. Bye!
bye min...see ya tomorrow
well, is the constitution acceptable then? :P
Around the time of the last st USA elections was'nt there some issues with votes not being recounted in the South? .
bye Min
!*!DONE!*!
Yup! I agree that its a shame that Bush was handed another term. Look what he's done to us! If it weren't for his brother in Floriday claiming "hanging chads" and cheating with the numbers - think about it - we never would have gone to war! What a sad, sad state that the popular vote just "doesn't count" where and when it should.
yay phae!
Congrats Phaeton!
Congratulations phaeton on finishing grid!Good for U
of course it is. IMHO
yea phae!
Any clues required before I leave. I appreciate , some of you Babblers may have just started to play.
so you think its ok for your leader to not be elected by the people?
the constitution makes provisions for the constitution to be changed
Thank you all! On to other things...see ya next time!
it is irrelevant what I think, The system is what it is. If enought people want to change it it can be changed
Bye MIn.. and Well done Phaeton!!!
Minveryork - way to go! I've only got 111 words for 1234 points and am STUCK! I only have 3 of the 8's and 2 of the 7's.... sniff sniff sob sob
It's not ok, ata, we don't have a say in how it is done
you are still allowed opinions
Bye all!
of course we do
we elect representatives to the federal government
I think it's sad that less than 40% of those registered actually vote in a Presidential Election
Byee Phaeton...
America has never been a democracy at the federal level
it has always been a representative republic
in fact, other than the most local governments, democracy does not exist in America
true democracy is very hard to obtain
Ata, Ditto.
the founding fathers knew a democracy would be untenable
thats because they did not have democracy in Britain.
danf63 point is well taken. But the reality is that the two political parties in the US rely on voter apathy
or in other countries..
to maintain tenure
which is sad
agreed ata, agreed
true KT, but if less than 40% vote, there will never be a majority winner. And the people who complain the most (at least around here) are the ones who didn't vote!
has there ever been an independent president?
I complain and I didn't vote...but only because they won't let me.
that has been my experience danf63
define independent
sorry, I mean non democrat and non republican
LOL Uni...maybe I can find someone around here who will let you use their vote
Uni, how awful why can't you vote?.
yes
those weren't always the party divisions...
the first several presidents were not Rep/Dem...parties weren't around then
correct hurshy
has there ever been more than 2 parties to vote for?
there were non-dem non-repub presidents who were still members of major parties... even early on there were fairly clear divisions
Hmm...I wonder if (as a Canadian) I could buy the vote of an uni-interested American. We could start a whole service! Everyone could have their say! (Elder, I don't live in the States, never have).
i think george washington is kinda the only president you could call "independent"
the closest a 3rd party candidate came to being elected was Teddy Roosevelt. I seem to recall him running as a 3rd party candidate after his 2 terms and losing
Uni, I thought you meant, you could not Vote in Canada :)
Oh, I can here. I was too young last time 'round though :(
buying votes is against the law, but you could probably pick who you wanted and have someone use your choices as theirs, especially on an absentee ballot
One of my co-worker has dual citizenship and votes (from NS) in the American election.
that's so foreign to us lot. We always have more than 2 parties, though 2 tend to be the biggest at any one time
George Washington's grandfather is buried in a church near where I live..
yeah, our party system is the suckiest, we admit it
Hursh, our is not that great and would appear to be worsening as the years go on.
i suppose most large govts worsen as time goes on... matter of time before we fall like ye olde roman empire
Ata, we have more than 2 parties, but the others are not considered "real" as they tend to have 1 major platform or agenda
can't be helped, human imperfections being what they are
::))
if no clues required, I will be on my way.
bye elder...see you tomorrow
and who knows, our country could collapse sooner than expected. i was reading an article yesterday about how there is like a billion dollars of possible loss in the housing market or something, and people are just walking away from their mortgages, so banks take the loss, and there's only 1.3 billion in the whole banking system so that would be a big problem. except, i doubt that MOST people are walking away.
great, isn't it?
bye and interesting chat of the political systems. Take care..
apparently this is what it looks like when a housing bubble "bursts"
yep *sigh*

Hello m'lady...how are things down under? settled into your "new" place?

I'm playing sudoku in another window and checking back to see if anyone needs help.

hi
Hello everyone! I used to be a regular babbler- haven't been here in a long time. I came by today because I found out an old friend of mine is in prison, and I wanted to send him a babble puzzle since we used to play word games together. Has Babbler's Anonymous been dissolved? I wanted to send him answers too.
sa5 sa + red flower -e
Thats good herin, glad to hear you are happy :)
If you go to my flickr account the front of the house is there. Hi Dora and Fooeey and Speed
I am happy just tired
thanks jessmom
hi
will look in a moment then herin
hi fooey
dora, you can get clues from Lickety's page, just click below.
yw speed
hi zsa
that should be stats dora
It's supposed to be one of the most stressful things, moving house
It is.
jessmom, thank you SO much!
Are you settled for a while now then ?
yw dora, welcome back - if you sent puzzles from the archive you'd be able to include the word list---or not and make them work for it!
Yes i am. I am watching Christian the Lion on the telly.
Herin, front of house looks lovely, and you have gone blonde !!!
Yes i have more blonde than usual. Need to recolour it
Personally, and this is purely personally, I think I like it darker, but then i am the other side of the world, and what do I know anyway !!
Karys. Its winter. I tend ot go lighter in winter as its so bler
it's your hair herin, and it should be up to you how you have your hair, but I hope you don't mind me voicing my opinion :)
No go for it Karys. I like it lighter in winter and in summer the natural darker colour. It just brightens my day up (i need a hair cut and recolour though)
thanks so much for your help- I'm scrolling through archives now trying to fnid a good one to send him!
d answers a few days later
Me too, I'm waiting to have mine done as we speak, I need a colour and a cut
Karys i do my own colour and get a $15 cut as long as i have a pic she does a really good job
Thats good herin, I used to do my own, but I don't now
I do as its expensive at the hair dressers
lo
Hi Show
opps Shoe even
hello shoe
Well i can't have a coffee at Starbucks near were i live as they are closing 64 of the 84 stores which is sad for the workers
It is herin, you're right
Well the only other coffee store at my centre is Gloria Jeans and they support what i feel to be a purely evil charity
what charity herin?
Mercy Ministries.
what's their evilness?
Ok Gloria Jeans founders are very big in the Hillsong Church. Mercy Ministries is evil because the are ex-gay, anti-gay and pro life. These are meant to be helping young woman with their problems but there is serious issues when they One said "she quickly became disheartened after 'free' meant signing over her Centrelink payments to the group and 'treatment' didn’t include proper access to doctors, psychologists and social workers.
ouch
>.< being pro-life isnt evil --
Yes i believe in spiritual reconnection but i also believe strongly that you should not be made to feel wrong that you are pro choice and able to make your own decision in regards to sexuality. It makes me furious that they get money so they can do the whole 'the power of Christ' evangelistic bullshit. If you are sick you are vulnerable and should be given an even and balanced help.
it so stinks when vulnerable people are taken advantage of.
Cata I strongly believe that is your decision to be pro life. But it is my uterus. There are so many personal reasons behind a choice but when you are vunerable you should receive a wholeistic spiritual healing. Pardon my rant
oh im not saying that being pro-choice is bad or being pro-life is bad --- but the way you put it -- it seemed like you were saying prolife was evil
Oh and the other reason i don't like Gloria Jeans is the major store in the mall closed for renos and the owner refused to pay the workers.
Cata. I only say pro life is evil when its forced on someone that needs love nuturing and a healthy mind to make their decision.
Sorry i am ranting. Its not healthy. Oh look puzzle
sounded like a level-headed rant to me herin
oops, we said a word...
YooHoo... I am back (without leaving).... Daughter woke up !
pb for you lol
say a few more..can use all the help!
on that note, I must dash. As usual, I'm late to pick up my daughter.

ah, the old, my lappie died just as i was going to greet you with grace and good humour
when you typed Hail, Hail the gangs all here, I was actually typing what the heck do we care, what the heck do we care, but it died on me !
babs, could you recommend the greens that taste best in a smoothie??? i used apples, nectarines, peaches, and carrots
Nut i guess since you are an adult that means you can eat coco pops for tea if you liked
i dare say a smoothie is better for you than coco pops
I sometimes have rice crispies for tea !!
what the hell is tea?
dinner..... evening meal..
I have ice cream for dinner.
and you're ripping on a smoothie?
Not me Nut, not me !
oh yeah, that was ferny, sorry aussi emo

Speaking of food. i need to think about either breakfast or sleep

breakfast is good Herin !
I am so tired though
sleep is for the weak
rofl ZsaZsa... I usually try it too...
Ice i need my 12 hours a day sleep
Even if i save it up
12 hours Herin ?? cor blimey !
I could sleep for 12 hours .. I do on weekends...
I wish !
but then I have sleep apnea and my machine broke and I keep forgetting to make an appointment to get it fixed
Ok let me rephrase that. I need at least one day of 12 hours sleep other wise 5-8 will do
not a good idea then Pyro..
Ah, better Herin !
ICE GET IT FIXED
ok, off to get painkillers..... brb...
at least I had surgery last year so its not as bad as when I first got the machine... if I lost 90 lbs I probably would completely get rid of the sleep apnea
bring me some, aussie
Well 5 pounds at a time Ice. Hi TO
**whisking away 90lb for Pyro so he can sleep without fear**
**passing painkillers for TO**
clue for the at words please?ty

ANd you are my age. *she who need to lose 60pounds herself)
I need to do it too Pyro.... maybe we can battle it together ?
ice ..where do you live in CA...traveling there tomorrow..
lol I could probably lose weight if it wasnt for that whole thing about food tasting good and being right down the hall
ICE.
about an hours drive north of yosemite... in gold country... due east of san fran
Ah, Pyro.... meet your friend, willpower !
well...there is that...you can live for the taste of food until you give all your earnings to the medical system..
As herself thinks aobut eating icecream and choc top for breaky
lol
so...you could be taking some great walks and hikes? ice??
may i have a clue please for at6? ty
**smacks Herin's backside for thinking about Ice Cream for brekker**
If you spend $50 a week on junk food it works out to be about $2600
I been swimming more this year than last few years...
I tell my daughters to listen to all of their body parts, not just their tongues! but i'm the one who ate peanut butter and chocolate for dinner (with a salad, don't forget)

going to a conference in Santa Clara..
TO im trying to think of a clue
a + music sound + ?

ty !
AUssie i said thinking about it. It beats the coffee i have been eating for breaky
sorry...to rant about weight/health...maybe I've been a wellness consultant for too many years to take that hat off!
Ive decided that there is nothing wrong with what I eat... merely the amount... I like salad more than I do ice cream or chocolate (but not as much as lean red meat)
mmm dead cow
oh babs, thats like a 3-4 hour drive from me
naughty Herin, leading me on with thoughts of ice cream !
What
hi everyone!
HI Sean
Babs..... Wellness Consultant sounds like a really interesting profession. Can you give me some tips for a diabetic (Me) for help to lose weight ?
Hey Sean !
babs, as long as you dont go on some binge that being vegan is good for you (which its not), then Im ok =D
very late start today... tough grid?
its a meanie Sean !
hey aussie, a guy here just got the gastric bypass surgery, more because he was diabetic than weight... note I said was... 3 days after surgery and he no longer was diabetic ....
are they always this tough?
last one... pls help: last na5?
WOW Pyro !! I mean really, WOW !!!!!
ice.....there's lots of viewpoints on veg or not that, so I won't go there!
some are much easier than others, Zsa
Sean nice tunes
i've been holding with 72 to go for over an hour
got it. nevermind. :-)
I am a meat eating Vegan
thanks so much herin!
haha.... i don't think it really works that way! :P
YAY Walnut !!
hmm looking at map now... Im more west, northwest of yosemite than just north...
Well i can't have most dairy and eggs is my fav
ga5/14 and 6/24 clue, please?
cackleberries
cackleberries you mean ?
snicker
Oh, snap ZsaZsa !
I keep forgetting to look up your tunes sean... myspace is blocked here at work
googs is the other one i use
I use goggs to Herin !
ga5/14 nickname for croc's cousin
TO, they are both plurals of the word before them
interesting, ice... nothing is blocked at my office, haha
or, chuckleberries..
i was out the last two days though
and, my 2 year-old calls chickens chooks !
plurals of the long nosed fish?!
It isn't uncommon for us to go through a dozen free range eggs a week
I could go to the public team member computers and get on myspace
where do you work, ice?
people here dunno hwo to properly surf the web... anytime we allow someone myspace access on a windows computer they break records for how fast the system can be compromised and so thoroughly infected the viruses are conflicting with other viruses
black oak casino
wow... how can you be that bad at something so simple? then again, i grew up with the internet...
and i don't mean "you" i mean "one"
I dunno so only a couple linux boxes have access to myspace, and they are vlan'd to be off from the normal network
ah, well... you're not missing much
*thinks we may have scared off the ladies*
I am here, just buried in the grid...
computer talk will do that...
NNo i am here.
Nerdie is me
been shopping lately? :P
no, but a buddy just bought a 42" LCD TV and I got his hand me down half working 32" now =D
exciting!
drool
took the... drool right out of my mouth?
eww
telly new good
sean I didnt know you and infernal were like that ;) jk
I have a 42" tv too !
wow i have just been informed that Parkinsons in war vets is happening
pardon me, bea...did you mena ga 5/6 combo was plural of the long nosed fish? 'cause that's thw rod before them
lol Sean, that sounds so gross !
lucky aussie
were is my telly
:0) I know Sean, I know !
**passes Herin a new 42" tv**
Lucky i hang out with stinky war gamers and clean roleplayers nothing bothers me
I'm sorry TO. Wrong clue.
ga5 is short for croc's cousin.
unfortunately the cable input doesnt work, so hooked xbox to 32" for dvd/games and mounted above my old 26" so I can watch tv on it
if only it were that easy, aussie
ty!
no kiddin
I know Sean, I wish it were too !
YW!
meh, i'm happy with my 27" SDTV... at least i tell myself i am
Id pass myself the 50" at the store when my friend bought his 42" .. not just because of size btu also picture quality
first priority was paying off the car...
Hi kids---I am on the phone with my mother and she is rambling away.
We spent $25 on a cable for the sd conversion for the playstation 2 only to discover that we had the cable to start with. sheeesh
I was happy with my 26" until I tried to play multiplayer rock band....
HI Scrabbler. Just insert mm hum and ahah every now and then
i agree, ice... size isn't as important... plus that would leave money for a nice sound system
oooh, thats harsh Herin...
uh oh, here we go.
Hey Scrabbs !
rock band eh? i'm not gonna lie, i can't wait for guitar hero 4...
hi scrabs
scrabbler, may i ask a medical advice?
sorry TO :P
Im goin with rock band 2, but I think my roomie may buy guitar hero 4 anyways
I love your icon herinfernallady!I agree, it is so true!
Yes, TO!
since I already have rock band
Hey MIn !
HI Min
hi min
Good evening to all! Having a hard time finishing here
yeah, same reasoning for me... i'm already used to and addicted to guitar hero... couldn't get used to the rock band controller
Hi everyone i missed. Thanks min it was the first thing i thought of Monkey = Politicians = insert Planet of the Apes quotes
me too Min, me too...
i can't get anythin gto take this tootahache away. tried all day to get a dentist, not going until 9am. i am sure it's a dying tooth. it's also under a bridge. what can i take
Ibuprofen 800 mg every 6 hrs or naproxen (Aleve) 440 mg every 12 hrs.
CLoves too TO
What have you tried so far, Owl?
Swish some vodka in your mouth ..
Wish life did not have so many discractions like very annoying husbands! Let's see if I can do this without being interrupted every two minutes! 22 words left.
I was addicted to guitar hero and use the guitar hero controller for rock band sometimes, but love rock band so much... Ive spent more than double the game cost on accessories and downloadable content so....
i agree with torgone... then swallow
TORGIE !!
A shot gun to the temple relieves all pains.
hi torg
uh, is that some sort of sick pun?!
Heyas kids ..
yeah, i think you may be stuck now, ice
I hadn't intended, but it was funny.
fine with me, I still enjoy it
right about now i could use it
Cloves: Cloves is another natural, safe and easy remedy for toothache. Cloves are known to help ease throbbing pain. Use of cloves in toothache decreases the infection due to its antibacterial components. You can apply it to a decayed tooth cavity. It can also help in reducing pain. The clove oil contains antiseptic properties. Clove oil mixed with ground black pepper and a little salt is extremely effective against a toothache.
When I have bad migraines I often want to shoot my cranium.
my friend had a tooth pulled and it was still bothering him and they used clove oil to relieve the pain
herein: it is crowned NOTHING TOPICAL CAN GET THROUGH THE CROWN
clove oil is one of the best remedies... I use it...
but then, just ignore me since topical isnt an option
**I see TO is screaming in pain**
no aussie - just crying
I had the same problem in January, Owl---I was in the 5% of people that get a failed root canal. Has that tooth had a root canal. Owl?
no
Where is Periwinkle? She needs to send some reiki energy to you, Owl.
I once read a paper on 150 ways to kill yourself... I really laughed at the one saying put a sharpened pencil point up then slam head down such that pencil goes up nose....
clue for the up word please?
wow its after 6... tiem for me to go home
You can put clove oil on the base of the tooth otherwise milk pain killers and owies
TO, rub the clove oil into your gum !
That may be better, Owl---remove crown, remove decay---unless you DO need a root canal.
night night Pyro...
bye ice
up+ ho5/14
hmmm think I may jump in the pool too

I wanted to stay up for the flip. But after sitting on my arse all day doing this, my brain is fried!Bye to all!
MRIs are hard. complete stillness for a very long time. almost impossible. I hope your son will recover well.
Goodnight to my fellow babblers!I'll see you tomorrow
thx, zsa. I hope so, too, but things aren't looking very good just now
later, min
MIn! sleep well. you will be sorely missed!
YEs Tyger.. it was no fun and I have residual issues but I would do it again with the Dr I had
Bye Min- Thansk for ht ehelp
we're both claustrophobic and have to be tranquilized for them
* the help
sounds like yours was pretty successful, DR
not everybody's is. AAMOF, I've heard so MANY horror stories
I can't imagine it, tyger. I just had a leg mri-ed and I could barely do it.
Guess I will be going to sleep in the penalty box. Had to eat my dinner there too.Hope the cots are comfy!
the tranks are why I had to drive him
he drove me for one (locally) a few weeks ago
It was to stop further damage that I already had to my spinal cord. ..There are TONS of bad stories... it depends on the Dr.
LOL, min
Min, you will never earn a penalty! the karma scales are tipped in your direction.
we all slip sometimes, zsa :)
Karma Counts???!?
that could be good OR bad. LOL
Min said a wurd??? *looks frantically in chog for help*
hey, stid
oh she did!!!! LOL now I have 89!
hi stiddy!
it was tush Stid!!!
(thanks min, sweet dreams) hey all!
g'night min
How's life Stiddy
stid, you look like a fairy or something in that image
or something alien, except I can't imagine an alien using candelabra
it's good, DR. I don't have class again until Monday evening, and I have only 1 textbook (400 pages) 16 books, two papers (one research, one based on essays), and the rest of my math portfolio to finish in the next four weeks...
that's me, dear tyger, La Stid, from Neptune...
doesn't sound like a really awful load for a grad course
My hat is off to you....
um, except these are undergrad credits! LOL
OTOH, undergrads would blanch, or faint ;)
oh, dear!
education is education...
it's an ed course?
oh, I forgot. this is summer school. :doh:
I am taking (just finished the class portion) Math for Educators; Lifespan Development Psych; "Children's Lit" (adolescent multi-cultural emphasis)
I remember taking a parasitology course in spring/summer. there were 35 contact hours/week
wow. that's a lot!
5 credits in 7 weeks
the Psych and Lit classes just started this week
9 hours lecture, the rest lab
my mentor insisted. the prof was retiring; it was the last time he'd teach it
lab would be fun (methinks, having never taken a college-level lab class)
Now that it's over . . . my grad summer courses were the best. Down to brass tax (or tacks, depending on the version) and over in a flash.
we dissected Am roaches & frogs
yuk
I hated pithing that frog, and overdid it
icky icky icky.... *shudder* roaches...
oh, I agree, ladies. I hate, loathe & abhor roaches of all kinds
we were looking for their parasites, y'know
