peterv_3@excite.com

1:44 am

did you attend school in Britain at all, sprite? It's rare for me to meet a non-native English speaker that knows that one.

1:44 am

hi everyone

1:44 am

ok on its way :)

1:45 am

it's before midnite here...what am I to do?

1:45 am

I never did, seain. I think it has once been a rather popular song in the netherlands, because I know it all.

1:45 am

hello, bee

1:45 am

it's nearly 3 here; i ought sleep, or be productive.

1:45 am

there are a couple of things I could suggest if this wasn't an all ages site. Apart from that, reading comes to mind, sleeping even...

1:45 am

sing of good things not, bad, sing of happy not sad! :D

1:46 am

I had a wonderful pork roast with potatoes and carrots and onions...stewed all day in the crockpot...the poopies were just drooling when I returned from work...

1:47 am

dont worry if it aint good enough for anyone else to hear, just sing sing a so4 lalalalla lalal alalalalalalalalala

1:47 am

make it simple, to last your whole life long...

1:47 am

sorry i didnt make it to your place for dinner pav lol

1:47 am

*drools too*

1:47 am

not that i like pork but just to have a man cook for me again would be so nice lol

1:47 am

guess I'll clean up the kitchen...and then rest...I've been swaying to the music

1:48 am

i learned 'to last your whole life through'

1:48 am

ah, I see, it is from the Carpenters. I think I know pretty much all their songs.

1:48 am

ditto, sounds yummy

1:48 am

happily, little cleaning with the crock pot

1:48 am

wouldn't rhyme with through, I think it should be long

1:48 am

oh, did they record it? we learned it in school.

1:48 am

loves cockprot cooking but the kids dont that much unless its my schnitzel casserole

1:49 am

we had a good sing song last nite or was it the nite before spritey? lol

1:49 am

the one I know is from the Carpenters, yes. Never knew it was a school song!

1:49 am

I love crockpot cooking.

1:49 am

whats schnitzel? :)

1:49 am

we did, Kiwi, the night before I think, yes :)

1:49 am

schnitzel casserole? If schnitzel means what it does in Oesterreische, that sounds possibly unpleseant.

1:49 am

hi HoneyBee

1:49 am

thin steak size pieces of beef honey

1:49 am

hi sprite

1:49 am

oh no this is yummy dc

1:50 am

you take a kilo of schnitzel steak (uncrumbed) and freeze it first

1:50 am

then take onions and carrots and dice and slice into the crockpot

1:50 am

yeah, I was thinking the same. Schnitzel should have paneer around it.

1:50 am

last time I added some frozen green chili...If I had a brain cell, I would have rememebered to put the last bit in, still scrupmtious...I'm not dyslexic..just my bifocals won't let me type right ...that and the keyboard is playing games with my fingers...

1:50 am

add 2 oxo cubes and a cup of water

1:50 am

Firefox 3 shows boxes with the double-byte codes in them, since my rommie doesn't have Chinese installed on this computer. nifty!

1:50 am

then through the frozen meat in

1:50 am

and then turn on and cook for the day

1:51 am

oh, gotcha, that does sound quite lovely, sprite.

1:51 am

sure PAV, sure, don't worry,we know you are one of the smartest cookies in the jar ;)

1:51 am

throw the meat in too lol

1:51 am

hmmm, sounds good

1:51 am

i'm beginning to learn how to use meat substitutes in my cooking more.

1:51 am

I think you mean Kiwi, seain :)

1:51 am

this is so much more melt in your mouth than just using thick casserole steak and it ends up like a thick chowder because the meat just falls apart which is why you need to freeze it first

1:52 am

we, collectively, really should do a cookbook.

1:52 am

man, this is a biblical grid. I just found what God might do to us when we commit those two sins.

1:52 am

i usually make pepper steak in the crockpot :)

1:52 am

that would be great, seain. Ruru could contribute too, he is a marvelous cook.

1:52 am

I use the leftover liquid for the poopies' dry food, that way they eat everything up...

1:52 am

it's spicy

1:52 am

sounds great too, HoneyB!

1:52 am

oh, indeed, i was looking at picture, not name :">

1:53 am

well i got space on my website to make it an online one if anyones interested

1:53 am

oh yes, they will love that, PAV. Will remember that for when we get our doggy.

1:53 am

might be fun, Kiwi. I think we have some people who can make websites as well, right?

1:53 am

well, i'm going to head upstairs and see about getting some sleep.

1:54 am

oh, it's been so lovely seeing everyone, i do hate to go, but alas.

1:54 am

my sepcialty is still cheesecakes of all sizes...from the bitsize to the larger...choc on choc on choc with 5 or 6 varieties of choc...

1:54 am

lol yes, it is weird to see my face on babble. But I am honored Kiwi did it.

1:54 am

1:54 am

2:05 am

spritey you could put in the theme list to say "email groovy with your recipes and she will put them up on a website for everyone to share"?????

2:05 am

I certainly will, Kiwi.

2:05 am

2:08 am

2:09 am

2:09 am

Babble Cook Book!!! Email groovy with your recipes and she will put them up on a website for everyone to share!!! (groovykiwi at paradise.net.nz)

2:10 am

how is that, Kiwi?

2:10 am

when i make the draft site ill let you know you can have a peek then take the URL and add it to the themes as well then ill email DrG and ask him if he will put me in the babble friends list

2:10 am

BabbleCookOff i think will be the name of the website lol

2:12 am

lovely, Kiwi! Have been thinking about asking drG to put my profile in the list too, for the icon themes, but he usually isn't too nice to me.

2:13 am

this all sounds great will look forward to some great ideas

2:13 am

well if worst comes to worst and it dont happen and mine does spritey then we could always make an extra page on my site

2:13 am

lol... we are going to have a theme: what you want to be in your next life. I am going to put the cook book line there as well, grin, just in case...

2:13 am

2:28 am

never thought about other countries having diff. seasons

2:29 am

i don't think so, lol

2:29 am

Kiwi is one of our antepodeans, she does it all the other way around. Nights and days, summer and winter, spring and fall.

2:29 am

3:05 am

hi Andree!

good morning

3:06 am

hi Josh

hi lynxxx, how's it going

3:07 am

hey all

3:08 am

back again, hi josh ans bfsog

3:08 am

great thanks Josh

3:08 am

morning bfsog

3:09 am

what was melbourne weather like today lynxxx , we had a perfect spring day

3:09 am

im back after a while away from babble, i still see some familar faces

3:09 am

welcome back, bfsog, I know you used to play a lot

3:10 am

Beautiful down here too Andree - Tshirt weather

3:10 am

yeah i came back on saturday, finished sat and sun's grid so im hopeful today

3:10 am

today's is pretty ok

3:10 am

yeah yeah bfsog, so we're addicted

3:10 am

and supposed to be the same tomorrow, then to turn cold and wet

i took several years off babble - i'm back for a month or so now and i'm fully addicted

3:11 am

i'm off to bed can't stay awake much longer

3:11 am

sleep well, HoneyB

3:11 am

goodnite HoneyB

3:11 am

well welcome back josh and bfsog

3:11 am

bye honey

3:11 am

thanks :) bye

3:12 am

seems babble does that to some people. Never noticed that addicting quality myself though.

3:12 am

i think i am going to develop a webpage to help with babble

3:13 am

bfsog - you should see Angelsongs babble page - link below - I understand it is pretty comprehensive

3:14 am

what kind of help, bfsog?

3:15 am

i looked at that page, and most of the ones down there when i first joined. i plan to develop a page kinda like morewords. as in you type in a clue (such as en6,30) and the page displays words that match that (such as enough)

3:16 am

obviously though the data behind the page will be limited to words i have recorded, which as of now is only sat and sun and 15 words from this grid!

3:16 am

i love morewords

3:17 am

bfsog, if you really are going to put work into that idea, you can use the same wordlist babble does. It is available. But morewords and A2Z are pretty much doing the same thing.

3:18 am

ooh really, where do i get my grubby little mitts on it, email god?

3:18 am

and to add to sprites comment, licketys page is a great help anymore would make it too easy

3:18 am

http://www.bytefusion.com/products/op/ dm/enable.htm

3:19 am

Andree, I sometimes use a2z, but without lickety's list.

3:20 am

I was told this one is the version babble uses.

3:20 am

(this link I just gave, you can download the wordlist from there)

3:20 am

thanks. wow 172,000 i think i wont do it by hand

3:22 am

You wouldn't need to lad any words longer than 13 letters - or less than 4 - maybe that would get you down to 150,000!

3:22 am

ah, thats alright then :

3:22 am

lad? load

3:22 am

:P

3:22 am

lower even, I think, lyn. I seem to remember removing all the smaller words is making it a lot shorter

3:23 am

bfsog, try this one: http://personal.riverusers.com/~t hegrendel/software.html

Hi folks! Just on for a few minutes probably. Just me an the chairman of the board here at work today, and i get a break now...

3:27 am

hi monkey

3:27 am

hiya MonkeyG! How's Walter, and how is the crazy boss behaving? And how is the back?

3:27 am

hi MonkeyG

3:28 am

I'm away now, 7 left for my morning coffee. Bye all

3:28 am

bye lyn, sleep well and have a good day

3:28 am

bye lynxxx

3:30 am

and fireworks for me.

Walter is just fine now, for a week or more! Tha back is VEEERRRYYYY bad; I have heavy painkillers that take the edge off. Just got the insurance sorted, though, five minutes ago, so I can get into physio this week. Boss id being very slightly better. But my grandfather is very ill.

3:30 am

yay sprite

3:31 am

sorry to hear about your grandfather. But good about the physio. Take care, and cuddle your little monkeyman from me :)

3:31 am

I am off, enjoyed both grid and company very much. Thanks all and have a good ti4.

Gotta go for now

3:32 am

bye sprite and monkey, is anyone left

3:32 am

thats me done....thanks for the clue...happy babbling to all today!

3:32 am

hello and bye flask

3:32 am

I'm here, Andree, good evening.

3:33 am

clue for gl6 please

3:33 am

hi haz

3:34 am

Add a couple of vowels to the oversupply word.

3:34 am

The ones that begin the downy duck.

3:35 am

thx haz, had already tried every combination but that

3:36 am

You're welcome.

fireworks! :)

3:36 am

yay chak

3:37 am

Congratulations chakram.

morewords is so my friend!

3:38 am

I agree, chakram.

3:38 am

ditto

3:39 am

hi Haz :0

3:40 am

Hello bf - you've come back to the fold?

3:40 am

im afraid so!

3:41 am

You could be doing worse things.

3:41 am

yeah, it wont be long until i am offloading my bad jokes onto the rest of you. like the good old days

3:42 am

We're used to old jokes around here.

3:44 am

my grid is drying up... already

3:45 am

There are a fair number of normal wordsm, but then a proportion of 'not before encountered' helps to bring you down to earth.

3:48 am

so whats new with you haz?

3:48 am

are the ru5 and 6 normal words?

3:48 am

Think cow stomach, Andree.

3:49 am

They're ordinary words in this house, but when husband is a cattle vet, you can understand.

3:50 am

What's new with me? Not a lot - both daughters are at home, the younger one had a summer in New Zealand, she goes back to Edinburgh for her final year in a couple of weeks time. I had my summer holidays in Tanzania and enjoyed it very much.

3:50 am

thx haz

3:51 am

You're welcome, Andree.

3:52 am

sounds good haz. i havent been on a hol this year but think i have got next week off

3:53 am

Are you still running?

3:54 am

yeah! and ive started playing badminton too.

3:54 am

You'll wear yourself to a shadow.

3:55 am

nah i like the food a bit too much for that to happen

3:55 am

That's a comfort. You can't babble if all your energy is dissipated elsewhere.

3:55 am

nah lol i still veg a lot

3:56 am

Proper order.

3:59 am

ex6 please

3:59 am

ex6 - stage direction to say everyone leaves

4:00 am

ex plus the mixed up letters of what goes with words to make a so4/6

4:02 am

Right, I'd better go. Happy babbling to all!

4:02 am

Bye!

4:02 am

stabye haz

4:03 am

bye haz and thz and fireworks for me

4:32 am

morning everyone

4:35 am

hi Katie

4:43 am

good morning, Katie and everyone - this is very early for me - (5:40 a.m.) -it seems I went to take a "nap" last evening which turned into a 12-hour sleep, so now I am up and ready for the day!

4:44 am

good nap

4:45 am

every once in a while it's good to catch up on sleep that way- I feel very refreshed

4:46 am

yeah i really should sleep more!

Back again for a little break! Anyone here?

5:21 am

I'm popping in and out depending on work

5:22 am

im here.

Me too! Hi.

Can one of you clue the A that doesn't mean goals?

5:23 am

thats the only one I have monkey :-)

OK!

What do you do, again, Katie?

5:26 am

hi, Monkey, the ai 6 is the same goal with a suffix

Ah, thanks!

5:26 am

I'm a development manager working in regeneration

5:27 am

At the moment I am a fed up development manager as I have loads of documents to check but none of them have been sent through so I am wasting my ti** but will be rushed off my feet later!!

5:28 am

Monkey, the last I heard from you yesterday was when Walter was erasing you - I got worried .. :)

Hee hee! Yeah, but I was restored.

Ummm.... what's the first letter of teh suffix?

5:30 am

I'm still trying to work it out monkey

5:33 am

suffix starts with f (3 letters)

Oh THERE it is! Thanks.

5:34 am

by the way, I never told you Monkey, but I just love your running narration of Walter's antics and fantasies - he is adorable, these are precious years to treasure forever

Aww, thanks!

I do love every moment with him.

This morning he told me that he had thrown me off the bus into the "icky water"of the canal and was going to daycare by himself.

He still wants to be a podiatrist.

5:38 am

well, I remember a day when my 2-year-old son (who is now 24) was really being a pain and wouldn't listen and I was losing my temper and he looked up at me calmly and said, "Go to work, Mom!"

5:38 am

you will be telling these stories for years

Now that is funny! Last week a similar thing was happening, and Walter said, "Go in the kitchen and make dinner. I do not want to see you." Off to lunch break with me; back soon!

5:40 am

isn't it fascinating how they are so strong in their character at such an early age - they do teach us a lot

5:44 am

just got the ai, thanks

5:48 am

yw, Katie - I'm taking my breakfast break now - good luck, bbl

OK, back with Turkish feta-cheese thingies.

11:32 am

hello all

11:32 am

hi sadie

11:32 am

the em4/8 was the first word i found, maybe i am senile lol

11:32 am

hey sadie

11:33 am

And I have the added grief of trying to kick smoking today - so, trust me, I'm in no mood.

11:33 am

oh Met, speaking of senile Barb called yesterday & said my Dad keeps trying to "take off" from the Hosp. so they put a net over his bed so he can't....

11:33 am

hiya pugmama and jacq

11:36 am

Well I hope there's something they can do....

11:37 am

metfan - i quit smoking 3 months ago. all i can say is one at a time and try not to take anybody's head off --- and good luck

11:37 am

hope everything goes ok pug

11:37 am

Maybe there's a medication that will slow it....

11:38 am

does he have any infections mama? urinary tract infections etc can cause extreme confusion and what seems to be a rapid decline, but antibiotics fix it fast

11:38 am

yeah good luck met, you can do it

11:38 am

Thanks josh - only two hours and already I want to smoke my socks.....

11:38 am

I told steph she must get power of attorney ASAP to make medical decisions for him as Louise is in total denial & 5 years older than him!

Pug, my hubby's brother has recently been diagnosed with Parkingsons, he is only 62

i had a girlfriend who was quitting at the same time as me

11:39 am

11:39 am

1:36 pm

Hello Minveryork! How are you? Welcome to the grid!

1:36 pm

for those who care, im developing a tool to help babblers. it is a cross between lickety clues and morewords

1:37 pm

very interesting!

1:37 pm

Sounds good...(but I don't know what morewords is)

1:37 pm

sound like it should be most popular with the Babble masses!

1:37 pm

ne 4/6 is ne plus hesitation sound Pinikula & hi there.

1:38 pm

Hello torgone! How are you? Thanks for the welcome.

1:38 pm

thx min

1:38 pm

with morewords lets say i knew there was a word that began with ab and was 4 letters, you would enter ab__ and it would list words that start with ab and followed by 2 other letters

1:38 pm

Sticky wicket today, eh what?

1:38 pm

yw

1:39 pm

mine is similar, except you enter the lickety clue such as ab4,6

1:39 pm

lots of weird ones Tor

weird is an understatement!

1:46 pm

1:57 pm

danske are amazingly comfortable

1:58 pm

2:40 pm

glad to hear your leg is "behaving" stid

2:41 pm

me too, sk! I have even been able to walk LONG distances this past week! (twice around the mall, for instance -- one of them the outside around!)

2:41 pm

No, most is still in the garage. I still have a bunch of stuff belonging to my ex in the attic...we're going to pull a switch at the very least...

2:42 pm

woohoo, stid! now just tell me how much shopping was incorporated with the walking LOL

2:42 pm

ah. the old "15" game, eh? my grandmother used to keep one of those in her purse... trying to get the tiles all in order without actually pulling them out of the board. LOL

2:43 pm

oh sk! I only bought ONE thing (mostly was just looking and talking with my friend) -- a blouse for $8 that was originally $60. And it fits and looks nice, too!

2:43 pm

down to 22...

2:44 pm

Yay, stid...I LOVE bargains!

2:44 pm

bargain! what a coup...walking and a great deal...sounds like much fun!!!

2:44 pm

me too! I am trying to get a good wardrobe for teaching before I have to. I have about 3 years' lead time, hope it'll be enough (but I will be student teaching before then of course)

2:45 pm

twenty...

2:45 pm

slow going now isn't it?

27 here....stopped for some cereal.

2:46 pm

sounds like you are definitely on your way, stid...glad to hear it!

2:46 pm

I went through clothes in my attic last week. Rediscovered items I'd forgotten I had!

2:46 pm

shoot, 29 here and I only have one "N"... ;(

2:47 pm

2:49 pm

Food break...see you all later!

I love choco milk. especially lately.

2:51 pm

we had ovaltine so often i cant stand the hershey syrup kind; sister used to spoon eat the nestle granules

I like ovaltine as well, but...

2:52 pm

back in a bit... going to go play with the kid's bird. *poof*

2:52 pm

I like hershey syrup or reusing milk when eating choco cereal but otherwise not a fan

2:53 pm

ovaltine all the way!

2:54 pm

hello everyone. Just popped in to say hi! and help if I can.

2:55 pm

mom always tried to push bromley as well [yuck]

ice I feel for you...

3:01 pm

?

choco milk is such a joy in my life! I hate for anyone to miss out of it.

3:03 pm

I''ll stick to choco and milk. I dunno why but it makes a difference, kinda like I dont like choco ice cream but love covering vanilla in choco until its basically choco or choco milk shake has to be choco and ice cream/milk and not choco milk/icecream

choco ice cream tastes to me like choco flavored chalk...

3:05 pm

at least we agree on that

3:05 pm

3:54 pm

hi sprite and madi and to and anyone else that came in while I was away

3:54 pm

hi ice.

hi ice

3:55 pm

hi to

3:55 pm

Babs: no, the parents of a friend of my daughter's. Last weekend my husband picked them up from horseriding and took the friend home, but she slammed the cardoor on our daughter's hand (by accident of course) and didn't realise it. My husband has spoken urgently to her to open the door, and has packed up our daughter and went home immediately to start cooling the hand.

3:55 pm

heh I held my cellphone in front of me and snapped a shot this morning lol

3:56 pm

my sweet girl tried to call her friend as soon as she was sitting in my arms, with her hand in an icepack. No answer. 5 mintues later the father called and gave my husband an earful about how he dared to yell at HIS daughter.

3:56 pm

ohhh...is her hand ok now??

3:56 pm

lol, see... you ask. They still haven't. Yes, her hand is ok. Black and blue, but nothing broken, hallelujah.

3:57 pm

I bet they don't even know that her hand was caught in a door

3:57 pm

they are all over us for the simple fact that my husband hasn't talked sweetly to the girl. They don't care about Caya's hand at all. And when we came to their home today to talk it out like adults, they did not want to listen at all.

3:57 pm

i thin whenever there is trauma that one is a part of...a common response is to blame outside...because the guilt or responsibility feels so heavy. Glad her hand is ok!!! yay!

3:58 pm

oooh

3:58 pm

yes, they know, but they don't care. And they said their daughter is afraid of my husband. And that Caya, our daughter, is terrified of us but doesn't dare to tell us.

silly, SILLY fl5/6!

3:59 pm

we are cruel parents, according to them. Caya must be home at the time we told her. She has gone missing for at least (seriously) 50 times, not telling us where she was, so we are very strict about that. But to them, that means we are cruel.

3:59 pm

sounds like there was fu4/10 in the room during your discussion! (a new word for me!)

4:00 pm

and I am arrogant and I am looking down upon them (god knows where they got that from) and they forbid the friendship between the girls from now on.

4:00 pm

when I was young, my friends parents thought the same of my mom and nearly had us taken

4:00 pm

Have you figured out what prompts her to wander, sprite?

sprite sorry to hear of it. glad your caya 's hand is all right.

4:01 pm

fl5/20?

4:01 pm

F + not short

4:01 pm

fl5 rhymes with s4 th5 t4 h4 etc

4:02 pm

this woman called me names and yelled at me, then told me to leave her house, which we of course did. And I said, good evening anyway, and she went totally mad. "Yeah, behave politely," she yelled. "Looking down at us again, go be polite."

4:02 pm

*giggles*

4:02 pm

sounds like a conversation my dad had with another set of parents when we were young, sprite... they thought my dad was mean b/c we had to come home from a party on a sunday evening by 1-pm (school night) and the other parent said, but the party doesn't even end until 10:30... and my dad said, yes, nad they will be home by 10

4:02 pm

not about you sprite, about the f5.

4:02 pm

Babs: she forgets. She goes home with a friend, which she is allowed of course, and then forgets to call us.

4:03 pm

howdy all

4:03 pm

so glad Gustav weakened! Anyone have famly who evacuated...sounds like it was more like walking than driving out of New Orleans!

4:03 pm

*smiles at Madi*

4:03 pm

be a mean parent sprite! that is what I say

4:03 pm

I wandered because I wanted to see/do something and forgot to go all the way home to tell mom

4:03 pm

we have had years of looking for her, very worried, and finding her in one house or another, so we are very strict.

must go peeps - see you later!

4:04 pm

see ya later folks ,going to lie down for a bit. Happy Babbling! POOF!

4:04 pm

bye to!

4:04 pm

we have grounded her once for a whole week because she had done this 4 times in a row... and this lady points literally at her forehead when she relates that.

4:04 pm

how old is Caya now?

4:04 pm

bye bye pug

4:04 pm

bye pugmama

4:04 pm

she is 10 now.

4:05 pm

we also read english books in the morning with the kids. That is cruel too.

4:05 pm

how can she just disappear at10???? I thought hse must be a teenager or something... and what business is it of the other mom that you make her come home????

4:05 pm

ru 5/14 please

4:05 pm

i was thinking teenage, too.

4:06 pm

having to do with a cow's stomachs

4:06 pm

I once asked her daughter not to call us 3 or 4 times every morning because she really interfered with our morning schedule and reading, and that was cruel too. Now, so the mother claims, the girl doesn't dare calling us again. (she has called is about 9 times in last week alone).

4:06 pm

I stand by my original remark... be a mean mom Sprite - (if that is how she is defining mean) - someday she will thank you

4:06 pm

hmm...maybe too much responsibility to make the decision to go to a friend on her own? it just seems like kids at that age are so into the moment, they need lots of structure to help them feel secure...just one opinion here...

4:06 pm

I grew up in a suburban neighborhood with lots of friends. I always got in trouble for wandering to someone's house. all within half mile or so, but mom worried a lot

4:06 pm

r**en noodles: change the first vowel

4:07 pm

afternoon babblettes!

4:07 pm

thans ndan

4:07 pm

hi LM

4:07 pm

*thanks

4:07 pm

lol, the disappearing was from 4 years on! As soon as she started school, she went home with friends and just didn't tell us, or went playing after school on the playground near us and then disappeared into someone's house without telling. I have been scared to death by her more times than I can tell.

4:08 pm

we wondered all over too ice, but we had set times we had to be home.... and we knew we had better be home by then

4:08 pm

hello monkey

4:08 pm

wandered actually... though wondering is not all too far off either

4:08 pm

hola ice!

4:08 pm

we daren't leave ones so young alone; too much occurring last few years

4:08 pm

back to find my final 24

4:08 pm

the older they get, the more freedom they get. But when they are little, I want to know where they are.

4:08 pm

my friends call me in the morning too!! very annoying. it's hard enough getting in the car by 7 without them calling

4:08 pm

my friends call me in the morning too!! very annoying. it's hard enough getting in the car by 7 without them calling

4:09 pm

yeah, mine was dark, but if I went inside and played video games suddenly it would be 9pm

4:09 pm

I don't mind if they call for something important, but 4 times a morning about things that can wait until school are irritating.

4:09 pm

10 is too young - they do not know enough of the world yet to understand why wandering off could be dangerous and deadly

4:09 pm

why not just have the rule that a parent has to call you if she goes home with a friend...otherwise she comes straight home? maybe I'm naive...just never let my daughter to go home with anyone but me.

4:09 pm

woo-hoo......fireworks

4:10 pm

4:10 pm

thans all for the couple of clues!xxx

i didn't get that privelage untill my 12 b-day...

4:10 pm

wtg lou

4:10 pm

i got a cell then so i could call

4:10 pm

ice - ours was when the street lamp came on... we had to be home before the street lamp lit... they had those kind that would slowly start to light, and we'd start running or biking for home

4:10 pm

privilege*

4:11 pm

woohoo lou!

4:11 pm

kje, Querrey dared to challenge my Rafa but to no avail!!!

4:11 pm

kje, more or less the same for me

4:11 pm

woohoo Ndala!!!!

4:12 pm

parents often don't act that responsible with other's kids, alas. We had the rule that if she wants to go to someone, she has to come ask first. Now that she can come home from school alone, we have agreed that she can go play with somebody, but only after phoning us where and setting a time we can pick her up. It is all very local here. But even if we are strict, we are never mean. And our kids aren't scared at all. You all can ask MonkeyGames, who visited us recently.

4:12 pm

ok, that was suppose to be... woohoo Nadal!!!

4:12 pm

he's rafalicious!!!!

4:12 pm

hehe I had to buy my own pager and carry change when I started high school

4:12 pm

ok, zipping back out of chat . . . *poof*

4:13 pm

sprite - ignore the other mom... you can raise your daughter the way you see best... who cares what she thinks... question is, do you want her hanging out with that family if they are that loose with their own kids

4:13 pm

I hate it that they are so mean to Caya. Not caring about her hand and ruining the friendship(they have been friends for almost 4 years now).

4:14 pm

Whenever I've seen that too much freedom has caused a problem...and possible danger, I've pulled in the reins...I think that makes the children feel safer...I know I've always sensed my daughter trusting our decisions about her freedom of choices..A great book to read..From Form to Freedom by Betty Staley really helped me get a feel for how much freedom to give at different ages...

4:14 pm

4:14 pm

I cannot let my daughter go to a family that would leave my girl with her hand caught in a car door until their own daughter would be sufficiently cuddled.

4:15 pm

FIREWORKS!

4:15 pm

woohoo monkey!!! you rock!

4:15 pm

dancing for monkey!

4:15 pm

my kids both tell me they feel safe with us, and with our rules, and they understand them completely. Even if they rebel sometimes, they still relax once it is clear where the limits are.

4:15 pm

THAT'S mean... not the other way around

4:15 pm

kje... parents can be dumb and less mature than kids... my best friends parents nearly had child services take us away from our mom because they thought we were neglected half the time and abused the other half for similar reasons

4:15 pm

well done lil*monkey

4:15 pm

wtg monkey!!

4:15 pm

what, sprite? did someone hurt your daughter by closing the car door on her hand????

4:16 pm

thanks Madi :)

4:16 pm

yes, by accident of course, lil*monkey. But they don't care.

4:16 pm

i wouldn't let my daughter play at that house ever again

4:16 pm

sprite - are you on the way between lyon france and copenhagen?

4:17 pm

the girl that did it has made a perfect drama about my husband not talking sweetly to her, but yelling at her to get that door back open.

4:17 pm

lol, kje, yes in a way... I am very close to Amsterdam.

4:17 pm

seriously, sprite, i would write them off... no more contact

4:17 pm

we may need to meet for lunhc : )

4:17 pm

that is what we had to decide indeed, lil*. They cannot be trusted with our girl.

4:17 pm

oh kje, that would be great!

4:18 pm

good for you sprite :)

4:18 pm

jealous! I want to have lunch with sprite and kajee!

4:18 pm

let me say that I don't blame the kid for hurting my daughter. Accidents happen. My husband wasn't mad at her either. Just very urgent she got out asap.

4:18 pm

we'd love to have you, lil*!

4:19 pm

kajee is always going on trips that don't include stops in Virginia *hmpf*

4:19 pm

I asked: do you realise none of you have even asked how CAYA is doing? And all she said was: of course not.

4:19 pm

me7?

4:19 pm

Hi all! Anyone have the 1st em4/8

4:19 pm

sprite: good riddance to them

4:19 pm

a kind of cigaret taste, Madi, plural for the 8

4:20 pm

me7 is a type of cigarette

4:20 pm

em4 - electromagnetic fields

4:20 pm

em4,8 is em + no i**, ands or buts

4:21 pm

they were really close friends, but I wonder... any friend would at least want to know how things turned out, right? But this one actually asked Caya today on seeing the bandages: hey, what happened to your hand? So Caya stared at her and said: you know.

4:21 pm

hehe funny to use a clue about cigs to someone young enough that someone in this world would probably be offended that you did ;)

4:22 pm

you mean a brand name?? i don't know cause, well, i dont smoke

4:22 pm

gotta run, but we will talk more later sprite - looks like I may be over near you in December...

4:22 pm

sprite, you find out who your true friends are in a time of crisis.. obviously this girl is not a "true" firend to your daughter

4:22 pm

its a flavor madi

4:22 pm

not necessarily a brand

4:22 pm

oh dear... let me assure all present, especially Madi, that I don't suggest to go smoke them.

4:22 pm

Thanks ice & lil*

4:22 pm

Madi, cigarettes can be plain or me7 (a flavor, like Salem cigs)

4:22 pm

is it possible she didn't know it was her hand and misheard what your husband said?

4:22 pm

lovely, kje! Looking forward to it.

4:23 pm

or she may have blocked it out

4:23 pm

no, she knew perfectly well, as we found out today when we went to speak to her parents. She just doesn't care, because she claims she is hurt much more by my husband speaking so urgently to her.

4:23 pm

googled them. thank you

4:24 pm

gotta run... sprite, sending good karma to you and your family :) xxx

4:24 pm

LoL!!! didn't mean to sound like that sprite, I was watching a show yesterday where they are trying to make it so smoking in movies get rated R unless they are showing how harmful cigs are or they are portraying a historical person who smokes

4:24 pm

thanks lil*monkey, for bearing with me!

4:24 pm

guilt sometimes makes people pick something else to focus on

4:25 pm

actually, as I tell my kids, don't start smoking ever. It is bad for your health, bad for your breath, bad for your wallet and tough to get rid off.

4:26 pm

nDan: that is what has happened. And in stead of calming their girl and seeing how caya was doing and smoothing it all out effortlessly (nobody was mad at her), the parents made this into a kind of war.

4:26 pm

some good pics show what even 1 can leave in your lungs - yuck

4:27 pm

hope I made up for it now, icepyro ;)

hey, peeps

4:27 pm

anywyas just reminded me of that mindset to see the clue and found amusing.

spritey, I don't think I've ever seen you in here this time of day!

4:27 pm

you'll all be tired of my story, I know, but can I say one more thing? That I really feel there isn't anything more hurtful to say to a parent than that their kids are terrified of them?

4:27 pm

i need to go. hashbrown casserole to tend to. be back tonight for more. spritey, best of luck to your family.

4:27 pm

lolol those kinda mindsets amuse me. (at least until they frustrate me)

4:28 pm

hiya tyger! Am here almost every night now, shortly anyway, to announce the new icon theme (and to check if it shows up properly in my profile)

there is such a thing as righteous fear.

4:28 pm

bye madi take care

4:28 pm

bye!

4:28 pm

bye Madi, be well!

but, Owl, righteous fear is *respect*, not terror

(jumping right in, just like a fool) :P

your point, tyger? you agrtee with the neighbors, or with sprite?

4:29 pm

my kids aren't afraid of us. Yes, they respect us, and our rules. But they call us funny names too, wrestle with us, make joke with us, hug and cuddle with us, talk back to us.

my grown younger grandson was a rebellious youngster, and my son had a heavy hand, but he will lay his head on his dad's shoulder when they're sitting together watching TV

I don't think kids should ever be afraid of their parents

4:30 pm

they are polite and friendly to other adults, thanking parents for letting them play or stay for dinner. But they chat easily with them too.

my son always could say/ask anything (still does) - same with grandson

you'd be amazed at some of our conversations, I bet

4:31 pm

exactly tyger, and they do. I just know that if they were scared, they wouldn't come to us with everything that bothers them, or make fun of us in a good way, or crawl all over us to hug and cuddle and tickle.

if i did wrong, i was afraid of the consequences and their reaction. Guess my parents were cruel and unreasonable. how in the world do i love them so? *poof*

owl, I'm not sure whether I've got the entire story straight, but I

oh, well. I was always afraid of consequences of wrongdoing - but never afraid of my parents. I think that's what you were talking about, sprite?

4:33 pm

lol TO, thanks. Exactly. If my little girl is going to be late for the 5th time in a week, or worse, realises she hasn't called us for the 5th time that week, she doesn't like going home and getting a mouthful from me, or a punishment like being grounded for a couple of days.

4:33 pm

exactly, tyger, that is it.

tyger: email has no intonation. typed words can be didactic if not downright offensive. *real POOF*

I guess I shoulda kept my mouth shut?

no. I SHOULD HAVE

4:35 pm

not for me, tyger, I hear you and I think we mean the same thing.

but I have very rigid, old fashioned ideas about parenting - which my son shares

4:35 pm

and you too, TOwl, I think we agree on the essence.

and apparently my grandson feels the same. I don't think I need worry about his kids, when he has some

4:36 pm

being clear about rules and respect never hurt a child, as far as I have seen

but I always talked with my son, both before and after punishment

and he did the same with his kids

4:36 pm

hey y'all. what works for me and my family ain't for everyone. i try not to judge, people shouldn't judge me because i don't raise my son in a typical,orthodox way...

4:36 pm

we do that too.

hey, onyx

4:37 pm

hi onyx! No two families are the same, no two kids are the same. What I said was, it is pretty cruel to tell parents their kids are terrified for them, while it isn't true.

4:37 pm

as un-traditional as we are we still teach respect, mannersand disipline.

so long as kids seem okay, I try not to stick my nose in parents' methods. I don't like to see bruises, or see a kid nervous

4:38 pm

hey tiger

4:38 pm

so true tiger

I also hate to see kids act out in public

that is storing up trouble for when they're grown, and have to make their own way, if they don't know how to act

4:39 pm

I am missing the ho4/7, any help (I am supposed to be in bed but how can I go to bed with only 15 left!?)

4:39 pm

bruises never! And nervous... well, when realising they have broken the rules for the ugh time that week should get a little bit of nervousness, I think. But not as a basic emotion.

right, sprite. I meant, as a basic manner

4:39 pm

ho4/7 rhymes with what you sing

what else do you need, mich?

4:40 pm

thanls sprite, one more ho

4:40 pm

I thought that was what you meant, tyger, and I agree completely. Kids that act nervously all the time, and lack self confidence, I don't like to see that.

ho4 is a Chinese organization :)

4:40 pm

you are not calling me a ho, are you Mich ;) ;)

LOL

4:41 pm

ha ha sprite, no, I have one more ho to go

mich, do you not use Lickety's page?

I rely on it

4:41 pm

I knew, just was kidding. Need a few laughs to quell my being pissed before bed.

4:42 pm

put 2 together & a fave kiddie snack - hoho s

4:42 pm

4:44 pm

10:08 pm

and striking terror into the hearts of all the grid monkeys.

10:09 pm

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

10:09 pm

10:13 pm

i'm only checking in between tetris rounds, fortunately i'm not very good at tetris,

10:14 pm

dislodging tiles and leaving the poor babblers...

10:14 pm

confused and frustrated.

10:15 pm

The lurker turned his attention from the monkeys to the babblers, his real goal...

10:17 pm

...is to distract kje from Gustav...

10:17 pm

and stealthily moved from cluer to cluer looking for the one believed to hold the...

10:28 pm

Lurking is my OTHER job!

10:28 pm

LOL

10:29 pm

10:29 pm

you are kidding I hope harp??? what did they think you did with patients on holidays?

they didn't THINK, even when we told them during the interview "your first year you will have to work several holidays, so the longer-term staff can have the holiday off"

10:30 pm

hi tyger!

10:30 pm

I was just closing down windows, and saw the discussion: couldn't resist :)

10:31 pm

woohoo hshliz!!!

10:31 pm

if you are around the second year then YOU get the holidays off!

10:31 pm

harp, what did they think the residents did on holidays??

10:31 pm

hey, kje; yay, shs

10:31 pm

ooops I meant hsh!

10:31 pm

oh shoot - toe cramp

10:31 pm

my fingers got tangled

10:32 pm

not real good problem solvers, eh?

10:32 pm

sok tyger. Call me liz and maybe it'll be easier?

10:33 pm

if you choose to work in a service job that must provide 365-service, then you're automatically going to have to work some holidays

10:33 pm

thx, liz :)

10:33 pm

yes indeed....as I did today

10:33 pm

and will be back there at 0630

10:33 pm

absolutely! my dad was a meteorolgist and we grew up thinking it was normal to work holidays

10:34 pm

therefore my family has a healthy attitude toward, I think\

10:34 pm

very little "family drama" when someone does not show up for Christmas dinner

10:34 pm

and if you patronize a store that's open on those holidays, always remember that the cashier/meat slicer etc. also has a family at home they would rather be with

10:34 pm

ok - brb- need to strecth this thing before it kills me

10:35 pm

there are too many things that simply cannot shut down, as well as those places - like Walmart - that choose not to

10:35 pm

i also used to staff a women's shelter with volunteers, the jewish ladies were alwasy willing to work on Christmas

10:35 pm

ouch.....how'd you know

10:35 pm

yup, consideration for others is always worthwhile

10:36 pm

very little of that going on in the checkout lines at Walmart

10:36 pm

i don't like that so many nonessential places are staying open on holidays... can no one spend time with their families anymore???

10:36 pm

it's greed on the part of the retailers, kje

10:36 pm

but there are places that must be open (hospitals, police, firemen) but very few true essentials

10:37 pm

I'll guarantee you none of the Waltons work on holidays

10:37 pm

i can remember th good old days when most stores were closed EVERY Sunday

10:37 pm

don't i wish

10:37 pm

greed...the root of all evil

10:37 pm

yup, kje. it's the LOVE of money that's the root of all evil

10:38 pm

now they pay you extra to work on Sundays and holidays just to get you in there

10:38 pm

I love chocolate chip cookies

10:38 pm

amazing the people who jump at the extra money rather than spend time with family/friends

10:38 pm

and they convince us that if we need something we should not wait!

10:39 pm

credit cards are the root of all evil

10:39 pm

i kind of enjoy working holidays actually, gives you some variety

10:39 pm

I was about to close this window (getting ready to shut PC down) when I just had to speak up. nytol :)
