Elections belong to the people. It is their decision. If they decide to turn their back on the fire and burn their behinds, then they will just have to sit on their blisters. Abraham Lincoln

as far as I'm concerned, that is
hi Mayne
you can imagine my answer lol
I am all ears..
hello Katie
Hi MGuy :)
why does it accept spanish cheers but not greek ones?
ruru -- my husband wants to know if you can recommend a reasonably priced full bodied red wine available in CA?
why does it accept some french words and not others? And so on...
sure.. like Cabernet or Zinfandel?
were as i can recommend a few Full blooded women. :D
OK, will not ask why... I know better
he would prefer the cab, a cab-sav or pinot noir
a good kiwi bottle nan
Pinot is tougher they are a bit pricey nowadays..
prefer chileans
well all kiwi bottles are good its a matter of actually finding one lol
price $25 or so? or less?
jilli do you get the robard and butler brand there?
don't thinks so, kiwi
lol-- actually, I tried a hardy's gewurts-reisling blend last week that was pretty good.
thats a chilean brand i love their reds
more like 10-12, ruru -- what we usually pay for our estate wines up here.
price range nan?
$25 for a bottle of wine *gasps in shock*
thats nothing over here katie
ok 130 found... my bed is calling. Night all :)
nite kaz sweetest dreams
Night Kaz
chilean? -- I thought it was aussie
gn kaz
bugger i am missing one t word
Good grief I never normally pay more than about £5, we usually have half price wines in the supermarkets so can get a good pinot grigo for about £4
had a great South African Drostdy-Hof Merlot 2000 I'd been saving, for Canadian Thanksgiving with son
its chilean branded here
lol -- I'm missing 8 of them herin
I would recommend Australian reds for him.. they are inexpensive and really tasty. The Cabs from around here are more than that...
No, nan, I just like wines from Chile
5 pounds is $10.00 CAD
you should worry i'm missing 16
phhhtt aussie reds lol
but that is like $100 in American no?
not any more, ruru, boohoo
Ok Aussie Reds here is something funny. One of Gordan Ramsey's foodies was given a $1000 bottle of french plonk and he thought it was Aussie $5 plonk
Chataux neuf de Pap (not sure how to spell it) is only about $20 with the exchange rate now and that is one of the best wines
Lol ruru
Oxford landing.. is good, certain Rosemont Cab/Shriaz blends are good..Santa Rita RIserva Cabernt is good (from CHile)
gawd, haven' had Chateuneuf du Pape in decades!
good heavens -- a good bottle of chateauneuf in France costs 10 euros!
Chateau - neuf-du-Pape
No .. some are reasonable....
I know we can get it for about £12
waaaa my speakers have died
I much prefer Black Jack wine
no hyphen between chateau and neuf, ruru, je sais
unless we go to France of course
THere is a really nice Cotes du RHone from Domaine de la Solitude that is terrific for $11
http://www.blackjackranch.com/
Luckily I really like cheap white and rose wine
really?
oh yes it is all one word
oppps shoot wrong site
My daily plonk is a Canadian Nero
88/100...time for bed...
NYTOL!
nite pini
We often get really nice wine on offer which is 3 bottles for £10. I'm on Stowells rose at the moment
http://www.blackjackwines.net.au/home/ Right site
night pini
bonne nuit, pini :)
nite pini sweetest dreams
our stuffy province doesn't allow booze or wine in grocery stores
i regularly buy an aussie wine, herin... from molly dooker, familiar with them?
they make some really nice inexpensive reds
molly dooker is great
no rosé, thanks
Good morning all! :)
also Torbreck is great
As I limit myself to one bottle on the weekend I usually have a Tinhorn Creek or Sumac Ridge Gewurtz -- a little pricey at $16-17 per bottle.
nope Kje
does that help nan
we get lots of yellowtail here
i do like Black Jack aus stuff
gimme your address sometime and I will ship you some vino for him to try
Oh we get yellowtail as well, it was on offer last month
check them out, herin... i like several of theirs, but my fave is probably two left feet
Thank you ruru -- been busy making out a list -- Perry will be pleased.
I try to limit myself to a bottle a night ;-)
I'm very fussy about whites -- only like very dry light ones
pr 6/7 combo
hate chardonnay
Pinot Grigio is my boy :-)
Me too Jilli
i dont like white wine at all give me a red any day
ruru -- e-mail me: cybernan@gmail.com, and I will let you know how we make out -- we are spending 3 months in Palm Desert this winter.
We are having a party on Saturday, I always end up with no PG and 6 bottles of Chardonnay, this time I'm going to make the guests drink what they bring!
kiwi, I MUCH prefer reds but sometimes whites are necessary
oh I will be down there a few times for events
for me - not unless im desperate or drunk already lolol
KJE how much do you pay a bottle?
good idea,katie!
jilli did I ever tell you my chardonnay joke
for the two left feet?
it is under 20... last time i bought a case... so hard to say
yes
Don't drink red at all but Hubby, Mari & Mr Mari do so I've got quite good at buying it
putting it down at 100.
night miles
MY wine budget is a bit higher.. but then I am a professional..lol
katie, your icon photo is much too big when I click on it!
nite miles sweetest dreams
how much for a case?
send me your e-dress then, and perhaps we can get together -- that is if you don't mind being a guide to local wines for my husband!
night miles
night MIles
what is the joke, ruru?
sure can do..
I have only 17 words and I don't care
I konw jilli I don't know how to make is smaller
KJe how much for a case?
ah, -- e-dress -- great term!
ar7 x 2
katie -- do you have photoshop elements?
just going to check
a convent of nuns were gathered together for a meeting in the chapel and the Mother Superior was extremely distraught and solemn.. all the sisters in the room were extremely fidgety until one of the older nuns asked the MS what she was so upset about... the Mother Superior said to the group : "Sisters we have a very, very serious problem... it seems that one of us has a case of Gonorea.."... The older sister in the back of the room said: "Thank God... I was getting so sick of Chardonnay"
herin... maybe 220-230... it has been a while... i don't remember exactly...
http://www.resize2mail.com/ Katie

likewise Asian
the 7's are: ar x 2; pr; ra; sa; ta x 2; tr and wa
wonder why ar 4 enemy is a word but coupled with the word in this grid it is not?
hey guess what
ive just clicked there are NO re words lol

Lol that will be because there is no re :-)
lyn, herin u still here?
Hubby has left for work, I'm back off to bed! See you all later :-)
bye katie hugs
can't imagine what the other 3 z's are!
zo 4 any of the free-swimming larva of certain crustaceans, as the crab, having rudimentary legs and a spiny carapace.
I've got two z4s, one pl of where you keep animals and the other the same but with a different vowel
then derivative then plural of the 4
then z spelt as a plural
oh thanks, kiwi -- that really helps ;)
TY Kiwi, I remembered that with your prompting
lyn has this tv advert been on your screens yet? http://tinyurl.com/5mqk8z

hi lyn :)
you mean youve managed to keep them this long spritey??? im impressed - dont forget to put some in the freezer
lyn she means the pineapple lumps
in the real icecold freezer, Kiwi? Or in the fridge?
me don't know pineapple lumps
no the real freezer until they are frozen solid
have been trying to be good about it all, Kiwi, lol, didn't want to binge. Totally enjoyed every little thing.
omg lyn you never tried them?? do you want me to send you some?
ok, and then hold them in your mouth until they give? Or just break your teeth on them?
I can live without them! but what are they, pure pineapple?
so spritey for christmas is it more of those or more of the milk bottles? lol
break them with your teeth
chocolate coated pineapple flavoured candy
milk bottles - blech
spritey loved the milk bottles lol
lolol, don't spend so much money on me again before I get the chance to do something for you! Top favorite were the crunchy bars, the peanut bars and the milkbottles. And then the lumps. There is real pineapple juice in them, lyn! And really dark chocolate on the outside.
i have to get the oseas chrissy parcels out by end of month lol
dang so many plurals i keep missing

jilli, you're missing most of those living in the country south of you. they'll be back someday. hang in there.
good morning - i am about - any one else?
Good morning Kazzer, you are not alone.
hi
Good morning, josh.
its not a bad grid today - i am still off with the lurge
Oh poor you. Do keep it to yourself, won't you?
Good morning... I was here, but now I must go and ( I hestitate to say this, so I will whisper )...clean the oven !!!!!....Oh dear, I hope I havn't frightened anyone.
Karys, I did mine last week...
It's a cleansing experience.
Morning :)
Oh there, I don't feel so bad now then, I hope it doesn't take too long.
shhsh mine needs doing...LOL
Good morning, FMitch!
The mere mention of 'housework' was enough to ring alarm bells here!
And, before I go, there can not possibly be another 9 words from the top 't' !!!!
I used a kit where you put the racks inside a huge plastic bag and let this wonder stuff (probably deadly poison) do the work.
Morning Haz and Karys and all (any)
Haz..name of the stuff plz!!!
There are no more than 12 Karys thats for sure
Havn't got a kit, so just elbow grease ... back soonish, I hope.
It came in a box with some dramatic name like 'Oven cleaner' on it. You use some of the liquid on the oven itself and the rest is put in the bag to soak.
Haz, stop now please, have mercy!
You don't want my recommendations for Soda crystals then?
Soda crystals a a miracle, never be without them,
karys - i dont have that problem - my oven blew up and we cant afford to replace it so we are using the microwave and the grill
I hope Lori isn't around with her nasty tazer :(
Not only for cleaning - they're great for making dogs sick (when they've eaten something they shouldn't). However, a surprising number of people don't know about them and don't have them in the house.
thats one way of getting out of cleaning it Kazzer
tazer - d'you use it to threaten the other half if they dont do the cleaning for you?
I take it you're having to be inventive with your cookery, Kazzer. What's going to happen at Christmas with the turkey?
aah we are lucky there we are going to a friends
worse than that Kazzer, Lori zaps me with it at the mere mention of doing housework :)
Good for you!
we have been growing chilis and have enough to feed texas so its been and going to be chili forever in our house
I keep forgetting that you're in the States, Kazzer.
phone brb
but now back to the grid and then off to cook some of that chilli and i m not in the states we grew them on the living room window and then moved them upstairs to the hubbys office we planted 20 seeds and ended up with 20 chili plants - all producing away madly
Sorry, Kazzer, getting you confused with someone else. You're the lady who climbs hill and dale!
that's me - but fell over saturday and been suffering since
bbl
I hope you mend soon, it's frustrating when you want to do things and can't. See you later.
No rest for the wicked, work is tearing me away from babble for now. See you later :(
See you later, FMitch.
hi all... late in getting here... had to type something for my hubby.... hugs to you
Good morning Volley.
gm haz
how's the grid
It's very nice so far.
good to hear after the last 2 wicked ones :)
Yes, I was a bit dense with yesterday's.
me 2
I don't know what it was, it just seemed to be more of a struggle than it should have been. Today's is better.
sometimes my brain just doesn't kick in
hey all.
I know - it happens.
Good morning bf.
i added sa4,4 (of sound mind) while the page was kinda loading. it showed the word in "my word list" but the relevant tile below the grid didnt show the word i got
so i refreshed the page and then it said i had not added any words!
You've confused the site.
so thanks to babble i typed an extra 4 letters today (plus the 200+ explanation!)
If the whole thing collapses we'll know who to blame.
grrrrrr on that
sometimes you've got to be careful and type slowly, or babble will miss a few here and there
as shaggy famously said, it wasnt me
ok, i've got 118 down, time to sleep
Sleep well, josh.
im aiming for 88 words today, never mind the hundred
hi Haz, bfsog & Volley and everyone else in the background
hi lyn!!
Hello lynxxx!
hi again :)
Oh, hello Ata, how are you?
hi Ata
not as tired as earlier :) Hobbit, however, is tired after chasing pheasants
So, you've already been out for the morning's exercise? Good for you, Spangle is having her post-sleep snooze.
ah, very important that!
Very. Since she had her hair cut the other day, The Arranging Of The Paws takes up very little time.
still, they must be Arranged for a full sense of decorum
and that takes effort
Oh absolutely, it's just that even she can't prolong the exercise beyond what's strictly necessary.
poor dear. she has a hard life
more time for snoozing recuperation though
Well, yes. And heating up from freezing outside.
The spoonful of gruel helps with that, though.
obviously. was she icicle-encrusted this morning?
I am not going to bite
I had to pr5/12 out of her kennel this morning.
I wouldn't, gruel tastes horrid
I suppose a chisel comes in handy in the winter
Hello lynxxx - spoke to you earlier. What's new with you?
Yes, Ata, we found that the blow-torch just singed things.
...hence the haircut
ewww yes, singed dog hair smells nasty
did you see the log earlier, haz, about my night-time adventures?
Happy to say not much at all Haz
Can you imagine having to explain singed hair to the groomers? It was bad enough when husband took to her ears with shaver things and she ended up looking a mess.
Well, that's good, lynxxx. Drama is over-rated.
loooooooool. that sounds familiar
Your night-time adventures? Do tell.
Silverclaw found a Mouse
And did the Mouse oblige by dropping dead?
in the bedroom - we sometimes get little field mice crawling in from the field next door - no, it didn't. It ran round and round followed by the cat for about an hour
much howling and screeching and elephant-hooves-pounding
eventually I just decided to get up
And that was just the husband....
but then the babble chat log was even more rowdy LOL
And?
... and there was me imagining the new lighting and the pink disco ball were in play *grin*
I take it this was pre-flip?
yep, about 4am
Oh yes, the disco ball should have been switched on to cause mousey disorientation.
watching Jac try and tell all the Americans to stop talking about the election was quite amusing
Poor Jac. She should have prayed to St Jude - patron saint of lost causes.
she stomped off eventually
Did red spontaneously combust at any point?
lol oh dear!
Still, we have the election campaign for 2012 to think about now.
Oh shhhh!
Sorry. That was me being facetious. Maybe they'll be sick of talking about the P word and give us all a bit of peace for a while.
they should start soon though, crazy the time it takes. We manage in about 3 months
***shuffles in unawake, grouchy aand most importantly, undercaffeinated***
Not to mention the money involved. It's obscene.
nobody talk to her until she gets coffee - its not worth it!
Get that coffee into you NOW Lori.
*Grabs emergency supplies of hot coffee and profers it toward Lori* and then backs away.
G'd morning. I guess.
*guards own supply of caffeine*
Well, good morning to you. (said in quiet, soothing tones)
***swills caffeine in all forms, waits for magical transformation***
(I'm playing good cop, bad cop)
We'll all wait for nice, kind, helpful Lori to emerge.
And no talk of blue moons or cows coming home, please.
***one eyebrow raised***
Was that plastic surgeon not able to do both eyebrows at the same time?
Good news! If you have over-plucked eyebrows, it's now possible to have eyebrow transplants.
chuckles for lori's new icon
: D
WRAAAH
Hi everybody :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
I wondered if Lori spends her time searching cartoon websites, but she says it's part of her liberal arts education course.
Looks like radio silence may be required...
hi, all. my husband and I spent our anniversary yesterday battling a stomach virus. not fun, but we're going to be okay.
Lujer din luder!
NOOOES
hi Angel, not very pleasant, hope its not long lasting
Haz1558 How many hours are you online pr. day?

Good morning all.....a clue please for as5/10 please?
hey lynxxx!
as5/10 - as plus the King of Siam's governess, minus a consonant
WRAH WRAAAAH
Bye all
G'd morning Angel, repartee, Flask
is lori safe now? *looks round cautiously*
She seems to have reached maximum civility point.
phew
Define safe? :p I'm somewhat normal, loosely speaking.
Hello all.
Hello Marmar.
G'd morning Marmar
Safe means never having to say you're sorry. No, wait, that's something else.
hi Marmar
yay it's the gorgeous fluffsome dog!
Flask, Marucus, my 7 year old who plays Babble with me was happy to see the Scottish flag, he went to a Scottish theme birthday recently! We are flag lovers here!!!
Oh yes....I am very proud of the Scottish flag!
Marcus is home from school today, bad cold...getting lots of rest but excersizing his brain with Babble.
Marcus got all the z words you guys! He's a champ! Yoo Hoo.
Marcus is the Z King!
yay Marcuz!
good morning, all - good morning, Marmar and Marcus! I have only 4 z's!
hi JBV
I have 3 that look related (4, 5 and 5) and one with a lot of animals
G'd morning jbv
I'm sure Marcus could help you with the other 4 JBV
hi, Lori, lynxxx, Ata, flask - the U.S. crowd must still be sleeping - I woke up dreaming of packing to move into the White House
Marcus's hint for your last Z JBV: It's like a bee sound
lol JBV
oh! thanks you Marcus, Danke! (did I spell it correctly?)
*thank you* (I meant the German, I think I know how to spell in ENglish) LOL
Bitte! Marcus says, Yes it's correct
Good morning all.
hi Frances
hi Frances
Hello
I'm hoping the rain stays away for the fireworks tonight.
G'd morning Frances
that's a beautiful picture in your icon, Frances
Why fireworks tonight?
fireworks night!
(pardon my ignorance)
Good morning Frances.
Thank you JBV Today is Guy Fawkes day and the sky will be alight with fireworks to celebrate.
Fireworks for Guy Fawkes to celebrate that he didn't cause Fireworks at the Houses of Parliament.
Ah ha, I have heard of it but did not when it occured. I love fireworks too.
So many dog icons! I love it. Especially yours Ata.....Hobbit being a bit of a devil.
We used to celebrate GF out here when I was a child. before they banned open fires and fireworks
I thought Australians were all for celebrations rather than regulations?
Always someone to spoilt the party lyn.
hello everyone :)
I should change from my halloween icon, but hobbit looks so cute!
Good evening mrp!
hello mr p
hi MRP
G'day mr.p
hi haz, jbv, lynxx, mar, et al :)
Hello mrp. How are you these days? I haven't been around for a while so starved of news.
hi frances :) doing ok thanks hun! i have put some things in my bio, but am doing better and better thanks
Mrp, wonderful news. I hope things keep getting better and better.
I went to a school meeting tonight and got accepted for a job at the school next year! It is wonderful cause it is only during school hours so I get to keep mothering my darlings!
Excellent. Things really are on the up.
I'm fading here. Goodnight all, keep well. Congrats MRP!
foes
aren't they getting old enough to want some Freedom?
Good night lyn. Sleep well.
Good night lynxxx, sleep well.
sorry
nah ata... not when my son has autism. gotta stay on with him till at least high school
Ata they are but mrp isn't LOL.
you are right frances! they better not grow any more! LOL
I thought he had Asperger's? Have they diagnosed autism now?
Isn't aspergers a type of autism?
yep, it is autism. He has been put on medication to help with the tics and impulses, and for the anxiety it causes him
is it helping him? *hopes so*
yes frances, it is... there are different spectrums of autism, and asperger's is one of them
mr p - congratulations on your job - sounds perfect
He is alot happier on the meds, he isn't depressed anymore! that is a blessing
wonderful!
Mrp he is very fortunate to have such loving and caring parents..........your daughter too. Mustn't forget her.
I am trying to change my icon photo - but I don't think it worked - can you let me know what you see?
there was nothing worse than my son crying how he didn't want to be born, wishing he was 'normal'... it nearly broke my heart. I knew then that he was depressed.
Two people on a beach.
My daughter is amazing! she is the most wonderful person on the planet!
oh, good - but I am still seeing the old picture
JBV refresh.
thanks, Frances, I've clicked "refresh" two or three times
poor lickety :P
LOL Ata
haha ata! he gets his share!
I'm just sitting here thinking, I quite like my daughters, but they're obviously rubbish compared to mrp's girl.
anyway, that's my son - if we're counting blessings, he's the other half of my very blessed life (since I am the family photographer, we don't have many pictures of the three of us together)
Too much information mrp.
as 5/10 please
maddison obviously doesn't just get fed gruel every other day while growing up :P
gran - as5/10 - as plus King of Siam's governess, minus a consonant.
Could that be the difference, Ata? Should I have included cod liver oil?
maybe once a month
I was nearly going to say castor oil, but is that not what you put in engines?
Thanks Haz
wasn't castor oil the predecessor of cod liver etc?
Oh well. I'll know for when they produce grandchildren and they're looking for tips. 'Gruel isn't cruel, keep taking the oil'
I know the Chalet School girls are always given castor oil when ill in the books
I know there's castor sugar.
You're welcome, gran.
Oooooh! You know the Chalet School girls!
I seem to remember castor oil from my childhood.....yuck!
what is gruel?? sorry! LOL
sounds gruelsome LOL
Hi
I've been a Chalet School addict for years! I loooove the books. I have them all. I read them when I'm ill. I even wrote a CS encyclopaedia, but forgot to finish it
Gruel? Kind of thin porridge, as served to Oliver Twist. Every child and pup should be fed on it.
Hi infernal
hi infern :))
should cats get gruel too?
I loved the books as well - Jo and her voice of a choirboy, Bill whose hair turned white overnight.
I'm not sure about cats. They do need meat to survive so whether gruel fits the bill, I'm not sure.
oh porridge!! Maddison feeds herself gruel then! She needs help! Cause she makes it for herself in the mornings!
I love Jo. And Mary-Lou. And any time husband wants to go skiing, I insist we go somewhere near one of the CS locations so I can investigate
Is there a CS theme park anywhere? (I think I know the Swiss reaction to that!)
gruel = porridge with water and more indigestible stuff than nice oats
nooooooo!
and guess what.....
there's an official tour route, though, around the Oberland
waves hello
It would be cheesier than Swiss cheese (a theme park) You're better off sticking to your imagination and the text. That tour route sounds good, a bit of the work done for you.
she makes gruel with soy milk! arghhhhhhh!! (must get her to a therapist)
hey I like soy milk. Mr Pres what sort of Soy?
oh yes. and so much of the books are the atmosphere adn way of life of that age, and you'd lose all that
I don't think gruel should see milk at all.
no, no milk
haz, it isn't milk... it is bean piss
MR PRes what brand of soy?
we use So Good infern
Sounds so awful to me.
fat free bean piss to be precise
Ever thought of working in the advertising industry, mrp?
OH DEAR GOD NO. Please please please please please x a million buy Safeway Organic or Pure Harvest
You have such a lovely way with words mrp
LOL !! indeed!
NO its (add expletive ) full of shit and it is not good. I uses Safeway organic or pure harvest
bean piss and shit? lovely stuff ...
Mr Pres what is the Soy content in that stuff?
infern, I have tried many different types of soy.... many many many... but the 'so good' is the one that they find palatable
ata, that is pretty much a perfect description of some soy products.... but I do it for love indeed
shudder. its gross. What is the soy content in it?
I will check infern
ta. Its for my curiosity
it has probably been said but elections fascinate me. Well done Senator Obama!
HI BFSOG
alright lady
hi bfsog! Love your page, very very well done hunny!
OK muttmeister has just had a huge bowl of chicken. He then comes to me for a cuddle to say thanks for his favourite food and that is also my cue that he wants to walk. Back later.
the babble page? oh thankies
awww whave a lovely walk, frances
infern, I can't decipher the crap written on the side... is it soy protein content? cause that is all I see
enjoy the walkies frances :))
Bye Frances.
that would be it
sog, you are pretty amazing and dedicated to babble! you should become a friend of babble!
it says 4%
most of it is filtered water and vitamins and minerals
i maybe amazing at creating apps that help babblers, but at actually playing babble im only 37 words good!
ewwww. Mine is 13%
sog, you are good no matter what!
it is a handy addition, but friends of babble is full, one more link would make it drop to a new line
sog, you are worth the whole line darling
***springs back in, all jacked up on caffeine*** G'd morning again Babblers!
Hooray! She's back to being Lori!
Hello all.
G'd morning Scrabbler
yay Lori!
hi lori and scrabs! :)
ccccaaaaffffeine izzz grrrrrrreat, no side effects at all
Hi Scrabbler and Im trying to work out how prop 8 is going
what's a nice birthday colour for a bouncy girl - red, pink, purple, blue or yellow/orange?
Yellow/orange.
mrp--I saw an Aussie family inthe office on Saturday--I saw 2 of the 5 kids--moved from Bundaberg
purple for sure
What is prop8?
Pink is hideous for any occasion.
you told me scrabs... the mother was trying to get away with no medical records
purple + green--my faves
purple and silver is the best for little girls
Scrabbler its looking at banning Gay Marriages in Cali
Ignore everyone else, Ata, they're talking rubbish.
Ah, herin
and haz has what suggestion??
What are the little girl's favorite colors?
I said yellow/orange. Clearly the best choice.
yellow and orange if you like ronald mcdonald
Ronald McDonald? No, we're talking autumnal hues for an autumnal birthday.
*hehehe* sorry but that is what comes to mind! LOL haz!!
I never said a *little* girl :P
But I think yellow and orange is a good idea
No, you said a bouncy girl.
with a bit of purple
(Ata thinks I'm right. Smug)
I used yellow and orange for the birth page of my daughter in my scrap book.... kind of reminded me of the colour of my bruises
she's very bouncy. but not very little LOL
does someone have all the o's? one is trying to run away from me
Thanks BFS i have marked your page
not sure I want a bruise coloured card ...
good morning everyone:))
I am O literate
I have the o words.
hi crossy!! :)
why did you mark it? with a perm marker? what did it ever do to you
G'd morning cross. bf, I'm missing an o as well.
op word??
crossy groa ns at "O literate"
haz i have mistake, the singular and plural of leakage, the op4 and the os4
op + do evil
You miss an exclamation, and op5/12
Oh sorry, you have the mistake.
o*** I did it again! brittney repeat

I smacked the cat with shoe tonight.
did you hear about the magic tractor? it was driving down the road and then it turned into a field!
no infern! you didn't!!
LOL sog! you are too clean man!
bfsog--go go
I so did. Snarky bint was hissing and snarling at me so she coped a smack. It wasn't hard but it was enough to tell her to quit it. She was all bent out of shape as a friend was over
I have ze4, zo4 x 2, and zo5--what am I missing?
good Morning!
plural the zo5
zo 5 the latin ending
morning red:)
Oh and i had already told her to stop and bugger off
or if you have the plural, change the las letter to another vowel.
HI Red and Katy

Where can you find a tractor with no wheels????
Are you looking for one for the new house?
TY for zo5 clue
Where you left it :D
Hi Katy

HI Elder

red icon reminded me:)
Look at Herins Icon. Cross.
:D
REd, A smile on your face this morning :) brilliant !
ahh figured he had it nailed
I am shocked at how much more relaxed I feel. I guess I was a bit tense
Can you believe NC is still too close to call!!! I'm glad I voted there.
...and he won Colorado , sister is ecstatic . Now to the grid.
red, just a tad, but worth it for you.
Time for me to go.
are they going to recount some of the states? cause some said 100% reporting but still not called.
fine ill go press a button in my kitchen
Red, yes a good move.
was it a landslide or close?
Hello and Bye Haz.
I dont think they will take the money to recount. I mean it was a landslide.
bye dear!
but they have to call them at some point... right?
Hi folks! Just on for a few over lunch.
lol have to be careful when leaving the grid today as the po** word is in there
hurshy smurshy!
yes hursh they do. I really think NC is going to be Blue!!!
Goodness, so it is!
hi ata! how're you
tired :)
hello Hursh and Monkey.
Monkey monkey
hi monkey and Ata
yeah, i'm a little tired myself but prolly not as much as you
it's very annoying, US elections being held inthe night :P
yah for my microwve
my brain hasn't accepted the time change yet so i woke up an hour early
hursh admit it you were just excited
of course, that too
We watched until we fell asleep, and I didn't hear the outcome until noon today what with Walter going to school and me being a Lousy Mother today (six of us checked teh whole school-- no lice).
mg,just noticed you write sf:) if you havent red them try "flowers for algernon" and "the cold equasions" by tom good win:)
read*
Greatest idea i have ever had - square of Lindt Chilli Choc in hot choc
and the "space mail" collection by issac azimov
Haven't read either in a VERY long time! Good idea to revisit them, thanks!
Yes, I've read all his stuff, even How to Use a Slide Rule.
that sounds like a very fancy choc herin.
Vonnegut is one of my favorites as well, as is Spider Robinson.
i used to actually know how to use one of those!! lol
Is the Pres still here?
ray bradburys 'dark carnival" :)
Yes, excellent stuff
the "golden apples of the sun" collection
ive gotten back into my old sf stuff in a big way while ive been off sick:))
Yes, have that in storage; books were hard to bring over and now that we live somewhere big enough they're too expensive to ship! We have visitors bring them over one box at a tuime.
I have found heaps of awesome ebooks free online
odd one: paving substance + cooking vessel
Some newer stuff that is REALLY good is teh Vurt series by Jeff Noon.
Monkey not even to send sea male?
I dreamt that teop** was in the grid. I guess that ta6 is near enough!
:)
Well, that would be about $45 a box, so might get do-able once I get this degree and find work.
Have you read The Difference Engine by Gibson and Sterling, crossy?
wow that is alot
i waiting for the amazon kindle e-reader to become available outside of the U.S or im just going to buy the sony reader and get all theese great books in one spot;)
Have you read the Baroque Saga by Neil Stephenson?

MONKEY: http://tinyurl.com/yvsrl this site is simply amazing

Hello Carleekat and Mr P.
cross, I don't want her to age a single moment more
there is a seriously impressive amount of old books on that url.
hi elder!! lovely to see you!
Thank you!
whats wrong carlee?
oh carlee! I know it is something else ((((hugs))))! I am thinking of you
OH Carlle HUGS
still after that op5 mrp - my bad
( just the husband moving out thing crossy..MRP and I have not seen eachother since he did...that all )
sorry my bedside manner is a tad coarse and i just dive right in...ih yea ok i remember now
sog... so you have the plural of the pus
phantom: traipse
I am just REALLY tired from staying up watching election returns and speeches etc....
pus? um i only need one o word, so i guess i do
hows things with u prezzy?
http://tinyurl.com/yvsrl If anyone is interested in old books
and I guess I am off to the pb....enjoying a BIG mug of coffee
sog... if you commit a s** you have done a bad thing in the catholic church.... add that to the op for one of the words you need
any PH or PS words?
thanks mrp. silly me
PB? what did youday?
carlee, I am doing good thanks hun! am so nearly normal after giving up the pain meds (narcotics) but we are moving in 4 days
crossy offers carlee a sure fire blues fix: a cup of his tea strong enough to stand a spoon up in and a plate full if crispy english muffies with real butter and apple jelly
*wants apple jelly*
one of the most horrid things about giving up the pain meds was the nasty nasty nasty depression that came with it.
Cross, a lovely treat to offer Carleekat.
Lickety has said that it was one of the most horrid times I have been through, but I am getting back to normal.
Hands over a cup of my secret Hot Choc mix. Mr Pres i am surprised that your brain has unscrambled with those horrid drugs.
I thinkI may go abck to sleep
yummm..thanks crossy....
however, I refuse to be on pain meds if I don't need them, so screw it that I went through the horrid stuff
***hands Ata homemade apple jelly***
I was lucky with the sleeping meds last winter....I was so afraid of becoming dependant on them
and believe me, it was horrid!
Bravo for u prezzy....
are there any PS or PH words?
*clings at apple jelly and squirrels away*
carlee, I need my sleeping meds at times, especially when I have anxiety so bad that I can't sleep. It is a matter of mind over meds
Mr Pres i believe you. I was a zombie after a tooth operation so i would hate to think how much you went through. You rock my world
Uh oh, Walter wants to watch Bambi. He hasn't watched it in MONTHS, since he was too young to really understand that one scene.... sigh. Am I ready for this?
my better half has been on t 3,s for a while for abdomen pain..hope it dosent become an issue later on;/
maybe I should make some apple jelly this weekend...I have never made any....
and anyone who wants to say that meds for sleep isn't needed, come step in my shoes for 1 second
*high five for sleep meds*
what are t 3's cross?
MOnkey don't do it. Can you suggest a non violent movie? (i think i know what i mean)
yay hursh!
codeine
wouldn't dream of it prezzy....I am one of those few people who when stress becomes way too much..i WANT TO sleep and my body does sut down and I sleep for WAY more hours then normal
carlee, sleeping is a way of healing
so what else is new prezzy?
He wants to watch it. I just need to be ready to work him through it if the scene bothers him. He needs to come to terms with some elements of reality at some point anyway. At least it's not that Lion King, where his father gets trampled at the beginning...
talk him into mary poppins? "father died laughing... never se4 him so happy in his life"
codeine is bloody nothing compared to S8 drugs! I am taking 1 codeine tab a day to get by when in pain,.... from the withdrawl
Or Finding Nemo whose mum gets munched on at the begining
Wish I had a copy....
Yeah, Nemo is another one he used to watch a lot that I cringe at the thought of now...
carlee, I am off the narcotics... that was horrid horrid horrid
A lot of fear and angst in that one too.
nemo traumatized ME!
i gotta go get ready for the day, ttfn all
and we are moving in 4 days, to a big beautiful house ... I am so so so happy to be going for the space
{{{HUGS}}} I wish u could twin lickety for me ;o)
u r moving AGAIN????? holy COW
He HAS been watching 101 Dalmatians three times a day (the original one) and a lot of Dribble. Guess he's got to grow up sometime...
Mr Pres you could always sell off the drugs (JUST KIDDING) my aunt said it after her husband died.
oh carlee! I am lucky, and at the same time I feel like a complete bitch for being so demanding from being sick... I can't compare it to anyone, but I am lucky
infern, I came across a site, a very very popular site, that people were asking for the drugs I have left over... It made me sick to my stomach that they were addicted to it.... recreationally
as long as lickety does not think u are...and ur kids are good....don't worry... u have time to make it up to them for what u've been like
carlee, we have been through this for more than 8 yearsw
wow. I honestly never thought that existed. My Aunt worked in a hospital that is why she had a lot of c8 drugs at home as she was trusted to care for her husband
I don't want to be an enabler. I would never give my drugs to anyone. I have been asked to sell them, but I find that repulsive
Can't you give them back to the pharmacy? We can do that here.
I do to. I was just kidding. I would rather hand them back to the hospital or flush them
yeap...its been a lon ghaul..... but now...u can start living again....healthy
yes monkey, but I would rather burn them.... and that is what I will do
Hi all,I'm just about to log out.
oh boy im boned. I just saw that the drugs i am on can't be taken any higher than they already are
MR Pres its a pity we don't have a way to send these drugs over to a country that needs them
Go for it, Mr. P!
you can do, there are ways, I'm pretty sure
Just want to say how happy I am for you mrp!!! Really, it sounds like you are coming out of a long dark tunnel into a wonderful and healthy life again. Best wishes and lots of love!
All this reminds me I need to go give back the antibiotocs I turned out to be allergic to.
ANd yah MR PRES to
mar, that is exactly what it is.!!!!
thanks infern...
Monkey i would rather be a corpse in bed recovering naturally for a month than touch antibiotics.
thanks mar! (((hugs)))
ok, time for bed! nearly midnight (thursday) and need to get up early!
Mar is that your puppy? If so go hug it for me please
night night all :))
herin, antibiotics can be life-saving
about the meds, in Germany it typical to go through the med. cabinet and take all unused meds back to pharmacy, they dispose of them. I just read an article that said flushing them is becoming a huge problem for city water supplies, traces of allmost all kinds of drugs are present in city tap water...uhg.
OK... for me it depends on what is wrong and which antibiotic. This one was an attempt to deal with the skin condition i've had for 28 years.
OH it is too thanks for the time check.
Ata they are but they don't like me
Yes Lady, that's Monty! All to happy to oblige, he's a doll!
OK, Walter has become bored with Bambi already and has requested Teletubbies in Dutch.
ohhh that;s a shame!
nite prezzy ( sorry was on phone)
I can take them but they make me feel sicker
night Pressie
The one I just took was the only one i've ever had an allergic reaction to-- made my arm all weird and numb and crampy and played with my proprioception in the hand and arm. It was bizarre.
"Just took"... well, it was several months ago.
ok night all.
nite nite herin {{hugs}}
Night Herin!
hugs all round
We're out too, see you all next time!
later mar
I'm off too; time to clean!
h
later mg
I suppose I should look at the grid
Hello :)))
hi liz
liiiiiiiiz!
Hey Ata! You joined COL on facebook!
yes!!!
I saw it on your facebook:)
Join the website too!!! I've been a member of that for years and years
oh! didn't know about the website, I will!
:))
didn't have too much time to explore them
I'm sitting here sending out sponsorship begging letters for Peru Ata!
I found out yesterday that I don't think I can go ... my autumn would be zapping back and forth from Peru to America to England with about a day or two between big events. I'm very annoyed. But I'm also very determined to take part in 2010, and I'll organise my autumn around it!
Nooooooooooo! Oh what a shame :(
I could *just* do it, but I'd be jetlagged constantly at art shows etc etc
No you need to be bright and fit and stuff, not tired out. Better to wait till another year :(
but this way I have a year and a half to work out the funding thing!
WE have another jumble sale on Saturday - I am the Jumble Queen lol
do you think you might do whatever they choose for 2010?
or will you have had enough by then?!
Geeze, am I the only American on this early?
I was thinking about that the other day. It depends what they choose. They do a trek across the Sinai desert which I would really love to do, but then they also do lots of bike rides and I'm not up for that!!
nooooo no bike rides!
Exactely!!!
But I do want to still raise funds for DFD
would it help you - *thinks* - if I made you a small art print thingy you could sell in your shop for sponsor money? I'll donate the original art, and prints are so cheap to make, I'm sure we could make some money that way!
Every other day of the year I come on the chat is full of Americans. I will instead congratulate the world on our good fortune...No McCain AND Yes Obama! **Having Canadian party since it affects us a tonne too** Adios!
Awwwwww that would be really kind of you Ata :) xx
uniiiiiiii :D
We're a bit scared of Obama over here Uni
I'm American!
you'd have to wait for a month or two, cos I'm booked up, but ....
hi uniiiii!111
And I am absolutely Ecstatic!!
You can be a bit scaredof Obama, butonly if you are more scared of Palin and McCain
...and is Hobbit wearing Devil's ears?
LOL Uni, actually I really like him but he wont be good for the Channel Islands economy!
Why would anyone be scared of Obama?
email me, liz, if you like the idea, we'll work something out without taking out the chat log! email is in my profile
nice icon, carlee :)
cos he's an evil arab terrorist, or something
Ata - I have until July to raise the £6000 that I am aiming for
and im ready to change the stars in the usa flag to hammers and sickles
oh ok! will email you, far more sensible lol
LOL!
are you guys serious?
suddenly thought of that rather than wittering on on the chat log!
evil Arab terrorist? Where does this come from? As someone who couldn't vote but will be affected immensely by the election no matter what, I am pumped. Canada got it wrong last month IMO and I was afraid the USA would too. I was prepared to flee to Ata's house!
Jayde - he wants to stop US citizens from banking with offshore finance houses - ie us over here! Thats all - personally I dont work in finance so it wont affect me but...
You would actually would rather have McCain than Obama? People have lost their damn minds!
I think he is really just looking to dig us out of the GINORMOUS hole dumb Bush put us in Liz
some ppl do ... they are allowed their opinions too I guess!
The US is bleeding money and banks like nothing else. People should be trying to keep their own economy alive first...although, I have beem getting screwd for those reasons for ages in Canada, so..
though I *did* like McCain in his speech last night. I thought he was very humble and kind to Obama
well I hope so Jayde - as I said I actually like him, I was just telling you what a lot of CI residents are panicking about
I thought that too Ata
mornin babblers! :)
hi evan!
I refused to watch coverage, was too scared. Just looked this morning and practically cried with joy.
I watched until 10:30 last night and he was ahead 207 to 138 - so when I saw the LANDSLIDE this morning I cried with joy too!
we watched much of the coverage, but i had to force chris to turn off the TV so we could sleep. i knew it would be a late night + i was exhausted!
I'm glad Obama won, but that result does affect people other than Americans, and not necessarily in all good ways
Yes, but if McCain won, it would effect other people in a much more negative way
im moving to singapore soon
Voice of reason there Ata! I'm of the same opinion as you. and now I shall pootle back off to the grid and keep quiet lol
spawnage is off to school! yaaa!
Unless you have a *lot* ofmoney or strong interest in war and guns (:)) McCain would have been just as bad or worse though. They each have serious negatives, but for us, Obama is the clear better.
absolutely, Jayde, but you have to realise that some people *will* be negatively affected by this, and they are perfectly well allowed to grumble about it, whatever their personal feelings
crossy slinks to the grid to avoid poli tics...
*shuts up too*
last word...sa 7 pls?
*holds Crossy's hand and sneaks off too* LOL
im moving out of the US before our health system turns to dirt
sa 7=tree resin+farm yard bird+ a vowel
Well, a year of anticipation and arguments, but NOW we are quiet? Seems backward o me, but I will head off as well. Be well, all
lovely lovely lovely to see you Uni!
Before? Bit late then. Well, the elections's over. congratulations to the US
how's Emma? before you go!

ty for that clue kim
ty got it and the 7.
yw...have a great day...bye
off to the shower.
cross, just read your comment, sorry ... yes, I'm afraid I got hooked on the atmosphere in half life. Almost as bad as babble ;)
morning friends!
dont be city..love the game myself;))
moring feather
what's half life?!
hi feather!
nice size grid for a day at home. daniel has a screaming ear infection. we're just waiting for the ped's office to open up.
feather..a sure fire trick to ease up discomfort...rub some vick vaporub behind his ear
ohhh, thanks carlee! i tried a warm washcloth, but he didn't like that
a computer game, Ata, of the funnest sort (allows the shooting of aliens, soldiers, zombies, the citizenry police force) while ensuring enough puzzle-solving game-play to keep the brain active.
when my kids started with ear things....vick to back of ear....a lightly warmed heating pad inside pillow case...next morning...gone
he fell asleep on the couch right now, will try the vicks in a moment...see how sneaky i can be and not wake him up
The setting and graphics are remarkably atmospheric.
ooooh that sounds fun!
he woke up around 2am, and has been awake off and on since then. awake fully since 5.
yes half life 2..hl2 first and second edition
*writes down*
I wondered what to get husband for christmas!
Ata check out: http://store.steampowered.com/
Oh, if he's into computer games he'll love half life (the original game *looks* very dated compared to 2/ 2 and a bit, but is still great to play
he looooves computer games
chris is addicted to his video games... FIFA, Assassin's Creed, Star Wars...they all go on simultaneously...right now its some game he rented from the store...
good morning all
help with H please
hi peri.... there is an h in here?
morning peri
could someone clue me the a words botton left? thanks,\
The gravity gun in half-life 2 is just the best weapon ever imagined. It throws enemies around like rag-dolls.
wow, i'm liking the grid so far, and only 2 letters in
ha4/5 - common babblet with seemingly backwards vowels.
thanks City
x 2
i want chris to get Fallout 2 -- its set right in DC and its got all the monuments + even travelling around the metro system... i wanna see it!
got them both
liking the grid so far
yw peri.... eva, that sounds monumentally cool
*adds to christmas list for me, never mind hubby*
shoot, almost thought i had "aspirin"
sorry, i mean Fallout 3 -- i think part 2 was in california
great, there's a million different editions of half-life 2. typical!
hope daniel is feeling better feather... but the vicks should do wonders... my kids would come down with "ear infection" early symptoms and I nipped in bud a bazillion times...my daughter is 12 only been on antibiotics once in life...
and son only 2 or 3 times..once for pneumonia...
i haven't done it yet, i'm too afraid of waking him right now.
he was literally screaming about every 10 or 15 minutes from 5am onward.
this is the copy you want ata.... http://store.steampowered.com/sub/716/
he's 4, and this is only his second or third ear infection.
ah....well... if he rouses..get on him...and give him a neocitron for kids..knock him on his ass..with a warm pillow under sore ear
what's neocitron?
heat kills infection..is why our temps go up...
neo citron...the pink kind for kids...warm lemon with cold drugs in it....and puts them to sleep
hee hee, nick just sat on a pillow, and is having fun bouncing up and down now
neo citrin rocks!
i've never heard of that before....is it only in canada?
neocitron is a parent's bestest friend with a sick kid in the house
i doubt it... little packets...add boiling water....is hot lemonaid....with cold drugs in it
ohhhhhh, ok, now i get it
like lemsip
he loves lemonade, i bet he'll go for it
i suppose u could make ur own..hot lemon...a shot of rye and honey
would love clues for zo 5s please.
or hot lemon, with a smidge of dissolvable paracetamol, and honey
paracetamol?
neo citron and vic vap-o-rub is all that a person needs
acetaminophen
( essentially baby aspirin peri...brit form )
uh oh he's stirring.....
ok
vicks..NOW....go..run...dive in there feather
brb store run....po 4/8 :)
baby aspirin? lol no
*** Ata! :p***
your tylenol
loriiii!
ok
ok...going to get my ass out of chair..and get ready for work....
ttfn all

Pesky customers again?
he's not at work with me today
I was sidetracked by a real doughnut this time, rather than Oscar LOL
LOL Lori - no, just food!
loooool
Oh, okay. Food is okay, customers should be ignored. then they'll think they're in a real high end, snobby joint. :D
I sm so stuck with the H words grrrr
Liz they are babblets
ha4's
2 ha 4/5's liz
LOL Lori! I'm up to my ears in paint pots and builders - nothing snooty about this joint at the mo

Customers like to be ignored. trust me.

hello everyone!
that is SO Oscar
gm, Annie
hi peri
Annie of Brooklyn! G'd morning and thanks.
Hi Lori.
why is it when i click the ? to find a meaning, it says no such word found? bums me out. it happens a lot and then i feel like why is it in the grid then?
hello everyone
the cr 4 5 is not in dict. try it and see.
Enable is evil
Right now I've licked my fingers clean of pink sticky doughnut icing I have to get back to painting! Have fun all :)
G'd morning kalea
hello Lori
Happy painting Liz!
hi kalea
hello Annie
you can always use google, mkg
cr4/5 is one of hundreds of non-English words accepted by Enable . . . in French it's a noun
Google ?
it's an alt spelling for a type of knife, I believe
Hi Une!
so if excepted why isnt there a meaning for it in enable???????click and see une.
I've been trying to get ready for work too - between finding spurts of words. Fortunately, it's "be seen in jeans week" so getting dressed for the office is a breeze! :)
G'd morning Une
hey, annie :-)
G'd morning Lady
Lori, your icon is priceless! My "mystery machine" is well decorated with canine toothmarks!
got an appt. with the ped for 10am, in the next hour. he woke up but is half watching tv. his eyes barely look open.
morning, Lori :)
:) Une
LOVE your icon, Lori
my mystery machine is in the closet
I hang wet towels on my mystery machine.
Proving 4 the record, that I do actually own one of those things.
Lori, I am hoping gremlins or someone will dust in the bedrom, you can write your name in the dust on the bureau
does it actually work?
course it does..............as a clothesline
Dunno', no instruction book with it.
It's not dust Peri, it's cumulative history.
brb
ah, like that explanation, Lori, thanks
hi everyone! just stopping in to get the word count - see you at lunchtime!
hi TO!
I still have 71 words left ADHD mode today I think.

LOL
*giggle*
It was only a couple times. We did plan 1 of the kids. I'm tot totally irresponsible.
Gasp
*not even
so was Uni the official one? :P
In the interest of not completing the psychological damage already done to them, I decline to answer that on the grounds it may incriminate me.
looool
That's what Oprah is for anyways.
LOL
hmmmmmmmmmm.............can Canadians claim the 5th?
All 4 of them believe they're the one, so why ruin it? :D
LOL
very wise, Lori
silence is a virtue in many things
canadian's can't, but we all have the right to remain silent LOL
lol
Every year, Meet The Creature, same thing. "'Yer little Rocket Scientist is very sarcastic". to which I always say Noooooooooo. Really?
lol
"yes, I'm very proud"
can't imagine where he gets it from
really?!?!?
lol
i love sarcasm, freedom of expression in it's most basic form
That's what I say Ata and it goes over like a lead balloon every year until this year. #2 has a teacher that he's bonded with in sarcasm, and is having the best year ever.
excellent! teachers like that are worth their weight in babblets!
<----- Pretty sure that's a 150 word grid.
how many words are there?
169 word grid
188
Yup, everything is so PC nowadays in our schools. ***feels a rant coming on, reverts to mumbling about grid***
They say 188, but I take exception to that possibility.
lol which is it?
188
ty, lol
Pick a number you feel comfortable with jacq.
77

glad to hear that crossy, enjoy!
mrph..crossy gets crumbs in the keyboard:)
Hi again for a few.
14 left!
118 left!
Bah but wtg! o's are my undoing these days.
34. Whatever....
o's??!! they are all fairly common in babble words today
Can anyone clue any Z except the animal park one?
i am trapped in an immensely boring class that i am required to take even though i already know how to do the things they are telling us about (telling us about in the slowest manner possible...)
last letters of the alphabet
Oooh, I HATE that sort of thing, Hursh!
planktonic larva and larvae, MG
Thanks!
zo4 like the to4 babblet we often have, and pl and latin pl
And thanks!
thanks, hurshy
4th row e... ea4 ep4 and...?
ea4
Anyone have a really good potstickers recipe?
really? hmmm
i wonder what kind of puppy the Obamas will get?
2 ea 4's? Get outta' here
It would speak volumes if they went to the shelter to get one.
ea4, ea5
Walter says he has "made my eyes broken" and I may now buy two ore from him. New variant on the protection racket?
i have an ea5 from the bottom...
Not sure I should take the deal... he replaced my back twice yesterday and it still hurts...
Doh! it's an ep 4/6
yes, the ea5 is from th ebottom, the ea4 isn't
Ack, can't believe I missed that
thanks lori
Missing 1 a now, before the vowels go bye bye.
thanks, I needed that one too
Hi red, the race is finally over...happy with the result...l
That e bugged me from word 1. Poopy
are there an PH or PS words
No hurshy
yes me too. now focusing on the puppy question Annie!
ty fm
should get a mutt
Not yet, but I'm not done, with the p
I predict the Obama puppy will be socialist.
yes, I was saying it would speak volumes if they went to the shelter for a Pup.
Or an ex-racing greyhound.
did they say they would get a puppy?
i can't find any more z words, have the animal place and the ze, can anyone help with some clues?
pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassss ssssssseeeeeeeeeeee
yes ATA it was inhis acceptance speech!
yes he promised his daughters a puppy if he won
Yes Monkey that would also be cool
****flutters my eyelashes pleadingly**
awwww
I'm gettin' supery aggritated, gonna' play some Guitar Hero for a bit to soothe my shattered nerves. Later gators
and perhaps he will name it Lenin!!!
though I think the kids will name it.
bye Lori
he should get a spaniel
Ta, Lori!
he should get a russian blue kitty and name it smirnoff;)
he should get a mutt from a shelter
a rescue dog would set a good example
I think he should get a Dane. But failing that, a pound mutt or an ex-racer.
jac you need the no4/9, and 2 x 5/20 that build off the 4/9
zo---zo 4/9 is a common babblet usually starts with a T and plural and latin pl.
zo4/9 that is
Great Danes live so short lives.
Hi FM!
It would, jacq, and actually to wax briefly serious that is what I'd most like to see on the pup issue.
Personally I think a Rescue Golden, but...
it will probably be a shitzu... eeek.
lots of spaniels in rescue centres
Hello Annie :)
ugh,no yappy ankle biters....
Longer and longer, Red. OUr Saskia is still VERY playful at nearly 5, and they're living to 10, 12, even older these days. At least here they are. The giantism damage from teh 70's is starting to be bred out.
he will realise he's in a unique position to set an example, and rescue dogs don't just go to anyone, it will help a lot of charities
bitty dogs..yuck....( chihuahua's excepted..just cus they got spunk! )
Carlee the only dog that ever bit me was a chihuahua like a small meat grinder.
the us shelters are more full of pit bulls and black labs and german shepherds and rottweilers
He better get a guard dog. His Secret Service detail is going to need all the help they can get.
depends on where you go.
no sense getting a pit bull now...
yeap...i grew up with chihuahuas....they are good watch dogs..and move so quick..people don't know HOW to react
Poor Saskia... speaking of bitty dogs. There is this tiny, tiny mutant of a daschund with a giant puff of hair on its head that plagues her every chance it gets, flying in her face and barking, and she makes herself as small as possible and tries to hide behind Walter. Nope, just don't like bitty dogs.
if I could I would get an irish wolf hound...a mini horse..or a newfie dog
I got a brown dog that looked just like TOTO from wizard of oz from the shelter.
He was awesome.
There's a fabulous Newfie around teh corner. Plays with Saskia all the time.
had a customer who had a pair of black newif dogs..each weighed 185 pounds!!
newfie*
they are such gorgeous dogs...but u have to have space..i don't have space
cross how is the eating?
so I have 4 cats instead
We had a great dog when I was growing up, part Shepherd, part Lab, part coyote. Super clever dog, with a very bizarre and wonderful personality. I miss him still.
Popping off for a bit. Filing. Uhg.
they filled up the entire back of a mini van
there's a scottish deerhound down the road who is just gorgeous. hobbit can walk right under her tummy
was good red:) had a bagel and sum milk for brekkie;)
whichever breed he chooses he will have to think about that example too, he's not just a guy trying to please his kids anymore
( looking up what a deerhound looks like..i love the big hunting dogs...)
There's one here too! Saskis used to try to pick on her for some reason but they're both over it all now and studiously ignore each other.
thats why I want him to go to the shelter. Because I think he is such a figure it would encourage others to go to shelter.
big enough to see over wild moorland
even if the dog has to be a socialist.
yeap..that would work too for a dog for me...but alas..no space...
I am all for the shelter dog or rescue dog plan. How do we start a petition?
deerhounds are wolfhounds on steroids :P
the dog will probably be noncomformist lol
email the whitehouse
ill send the dog some of our green party info lol:)
i have no idea. most likely someone will gift him a dog.
( I know this isn't going to be the popular answer...but....i say let the kids pick..no matter what...yes they will have a life of wonderful connections and experiences..but they have had a rough go not having daddy around...let thekids pick as that was the "deal" )
i hope he'll be as good for the US as i feel he will, i felt from the word go that W would be bad for everyone, even before he was elected
take kids to shelter and let them choose.
i agree carlee
their life is about to undergo extreme changes.... let them pick their own dog without setting the "proper example and let the kids be kids)
I do agree with that. He promised his kids a pup, not a public gesture, no matter how good it would be. But he can drop suggestions.
lol..both our cats are snoring
already jacq the world is rejoicing. this already raises our standing outside the world.
he can guide them like a good parent should
we bored them to sleep
my cats are STARVING.....am out of cat food...getting some on way from work...
My dog's upsode down, and my cat is stuffed into a small cardboard box (by choice)...
this might give the economies the world over a good kick in the ar4
he can guide them..but if their hearts are set on a golden retriener...or an irish setter or a chihuahua...get it
I agree.
I'm sure they have some sort of plan...but I will be curious.
i'm so hungry
lol Monkey my cats used to sleep on the dirty laundry, as soon as i brought it all downstairs they were right in there, and they defended that bed to the bitter end
I meant dropping hints about going to a shelter instead of browsing the breeder websites.
corrsy offers hurshy one of his fresh bakery bagels....
ty
2 kinds of cream cheese,garlic and chive and roasted red pepper;)
food, i better grab something the Boss was hacked off yesterday because i forgot to eat, brb
Cats are like that, eh? Mine will NOT stop sleeping on my husband's good black sweater and he woill NOT accept that he should just put it somewhere else. He's been trying to teach her not to for four years.
oh gosh still saying NC too close to call. I know we went blue why dont they ask me?
ROASTED RED PEPPER>>MY FAV!
Good thing I have to go make those potstickers soon... now I'm hungry!
crossy moves his fingers away from carlee and drops the cream cheese before he loses a digit
so many times i had blood on the laundry because i insisted on putting it into the wash anyway lol
how is it too close to call? 100% of precincts reporting. They both got 50% of the vote, but Obama got more votes...so shouldn't it go to him?
brb
<snicker>
this grid is tricky
Heehee! You know what makes my cat leave a room immediately? The sight of a can of air freshener. Having a Great Dane means always having one handy, especially oif she's snitched Walter's lunch leftovers.
its just that the NC people running the election are still in shock.
It is, kje.
oh wait, even better, obama 50%, mccain 49%, even more clear! lol red
i thought it was a landslide by earlier reports?
it was but NC was not a landslide.
red... aren't there still absentee ballots to count? maybe they want to wait for those since there are only a couple thousand separating the 2
kje did you go to palinaspresident.com?
ahh i see
it has changed!!!!
The electoral vote was a landslide, however, if you look at the percentages it was close
yes red.... music today... very civil rights music spiritual hymn feeling
here we had a local candidate win by 3 votes a few yesars back,they recounted ballots for weeks lol
Our govenor's race may end up being the same way for the second time
wow, 7 states that went rep last time went dem this time. no states that went dem last time went rep. that's amazing!
and she is gone...
here this year,its a case of meet the new boss,same as the old boss;(
NC race was really special for me to see. I vote thereand I see the reflection of the changing values and population!!! so exciting.
for awhile red, i think it is too much to hope that the reps will set her aside and choose a more moderate and inclusive candidate
anyone know what those last 2 z words are??? not the animal haven or the letter?
i think she had a pretty big hand in mccain not winning. it would be foolhardy for the reps to run her again.
A babblet relating to plankton and plural, kje.
So before I go start the potstickers, does anyone have a really good recipe? I'm still working one up and tips are always welcome.
TY monkey
have been monkeying them for ages kje, still no luck
never made them MG
Sure thing! I got 'em from Ata and Lynxxx.
I still need 1 jac
Me too.
oops, no i don't
ihave 2 z's in total lol
What is it? What is it?
the plankton one has a normal plural and a latin one, mg
Ah, of course! TY.
jac - z + 3 vowels... and then 2 types of plurals
i got them all at once LOL
OK, off to wing some gyoza! Have fun folks!
does the wtf was that dance
ty for the help
LOL jac... imagining what that dance might look like
the dance is all arms and legs and flying hair
lol

It's one of those "how did I miss that word the first time round" grids
darn... now I will feel stupid FM!
Join the club!!!
at least I can only feel stupid over 10 words :P
are there degrees of feeling stupid?... will have to test that once i start to list - LOL
I found quite a lot of words that I had typed in hadn't taken again today which drives me nuts, thank goodness for the list for that!
i think that too fm... i just grayed the w with 2 words that i could have sworn i have already entered and seen go green
hi again all....
Oh kje .. off to the PB with you.
darn

i thought the pit of quicksand would have finished you off
You're my nemesis.
touche
I can't help myself, sorry.
no its fine, i do like correct grammar/punc but its the tinternet, i let things slide
I took myself off this morning when the log looked to be going all... about things in US.
lets stay clear of that then, did it get heated?
Never let things slide. It's the thin end of the wedge.
Yes Ma'am
I don't know, bf, I'm beyond wanting to stay around for heated or reheated.
Reheated is a guilty pleasure we all share.
hey bf, Haz
Hi Jacq.
Yes, but sometimes things should just be put into the bin and not inflicted again. Hello jac q.
can i ask yet again how many words today?
please
188 today.
ty, i was told earlier but i've been dotting about and have forgotten
When I see food going to waste I often wonder how many people were involved in getting it from where it came from to my plate/hand, but by the time I think of an answer its in my stomache.
And you're still upright so it must be okay.
as my belly goes gurgle gurgle, pipe down!
the z's were hard, since i don't know all the abblets yet
babblets too
I have hit the road block on this grid and theres no sign of a tow truck
babblets?
apparently words unique to the grid are called that?? i think
I see. Me neither, in that case
i can help with the z's if you need?
Babblets are usually obscure words that rarely appear in real life but seem to crop up constantly in babble.
like volcanoes
lol ata
I have the animal pen and the one that sounds like t** shirt (plural)
ok the other three zo's are all relting to plankton apparently (ty kje for that) and the first is z with three vowels then the latin end and the plural of that
And geese and Hawaiian white men.
thanks again to kje for that too
no kidding Haz. Good Morning again back from congratulating my Mom and stuff on last night
wb red
thanks jacq
Your mother won something?
thanks to kje, couldn't have gotten them myself without help, was at them for an hour
Here's where I do my morewords advertisement. www.morewords.com is very useful to many babblers.
ahem...
JacQ
yes red?
here is some news it appears that someone petitioned Obamas a long time ago aboutt heshelter dog
http://network.bestfriends.org/obamafa milydog/news/29375.html
LOL
SO yay...they will adopt.
good
what's up bf?
and now back to the grid.
http://www.andrewbuchan.co.uk/babble - inspired by morewords, and lickety. plug over
hi Babblers!
Hi Aloy!
bf - so young, so talented!
ahoy there aloy
Hello Aloy!
Haz thats nothing, you should see what I do at work :\
i love being among genuises geniuses genii smart people
ok need to start dinner, brb
i am so smart, i am so smart. s m r t ... i mean s m a r t . Homer Simspon
I could well believe it, bf. I'd be so impressed my eyes would probably glaze over.
red, so did North Carolin a officially go for Obama yet?
lol
Hello fellow Babblers. This is a fun grid, isn't it?
any further on the sock-dog, haz?
Hi Nef, yup.. I'm enjoying it!
hi Nef. whats Twin Cities?
No! Nothing at all. It must have spontaneously ejected said sock.
Minneapolis/St. Paul
I guess so!
I have to go to work now, but I've been able to fill in the whole right column ;) and find at least 1 word for every letter! :D
I see, so they are close to each other?
hagd, Nef..
bfsog, the Twin Cities are Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota
Right across the river from each other
St. Paul is the capital of Minnesota
I finally have no blank tiles, but I have to go the gym
i think i remember a reference from a film called Fargo about Twin Cities, i could be wrong
ar 7/8 combo?
bichon I dont see it, but frankly the votes are counted NC is Blue like a Blueberry.
for the first time in forever.
There are other Twin Cities in the US, but those are the most well-known
I was very surprised to see the Charlotte area go blue
i see. so twin cities just mean cities close by / in the same state
like liverpool and manchester, brits?
No, not exactly, more like cities, separate, but similar in size
yes bichon. btu I predicted the state would go blue. NC has changed so much in the last 4 yrs.
the Twin Cities are just 8 miles apart from city center to city center. And they are very different cities: St. Paul is the capitol on MN and was founded by Irish Catholics and MPLS was founded by Scandinavian Lutherans and is very industrious: it was the center of the worlds' milling industry for grains during the late 19th and the beginning of the 20th century
geom/trig term... combo of bend and common geom. relationship
is that the ar 7/8 Aloy?
yes, bichon .. sorry, clue seems vague
more like birmingham and coventry, kind of together but separate
ty Aloy, got it.
yay... you know your math! (-:
Red, a lot of places in the US have changed. I was shocked to see Henrico county in Virginia [the suburbs of Richmond] go blue. I have family there aand it seems very Red to me.
the Quad cities are in different states but danged if I can remember what they are right now <blush>
They are in Iowa
thanks, bichon.
It was very exciting to me Bichon.
i seen a map of where was blue and red and alot of north east/north was blue and a lot south east coast/south was red - based on the votes
yes bfsog, but not enough of the vote was red.
It's the economy. When people are hurting, they go for improvement over the same old
Oh well, I'd better go again.
and the South is usually red as a tomato.
it was something like 238 to 140 in blue favour when i left for work, with mccain already giving up and obama accepting
The South used to be solidly Democrat, as Republican was the party of Lincoln. That got straigtened out years ago
have a good sock less day Haz.
bye haz
Haz, I get the feeling you will be happier when all this election chat dies down?
And I'm off to work too. Good luck all; I'll be back this evening to finish (I hope)
Note my icon, the Dems are the donkeys, the Reps, the elephants
It got "straightened out" when Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act, specifically
I dont think we can help talking about the election for a bit more. It is a big deal.
*grumble grumble grummmmmmmmmmble*
Hi hursh!
what's grumbly, hursh?
I must go to gym.... Buh Bye
ttfn, red.. have a good workout
oops, phone.. brb
i despise bureaucracy. i despise red tape. i despise large organizations saying they hire the best people and then making them sit in training classes for things they already know which teach in a manner suited to people whose brains are the size of a pea. a SPLIT pea.
. . . Havign a bad day at work, hursh?
well, the class is over now, so that's something, but i think the suicidal feelings will have to be allowed time to dissipate
a MUSHY pea?
I know what you mean Hurshy. At Wesleyan we always had to go to these nicey-nice workshops
rats, whoever.. hung up.. only rang three times.
They can dissipate justin time for you to have to sit through Sexual Harassment training. Cheer up!
is there really an as 5/10 before the 4/4?
we don't have the sexual harassment training.
Commiserates with Hurshy. Those classes are a waste of life.
We've all been to them, I think.
actually, i would mind that LESS than the computer ones.
we had it ad nauseum. As well as how to get along with your fellow workers
it gives me horrid elementary school flashbacks.
there, there
This is a good place to rant
I feel sorry for my husband. He has to sit through quarterly safety, diversity and mentoring meetings. He's more patient than me. I'd be climbing the walls.
at yale, we don't admit the possibility that anyone in our big happy family would not get along well.
Right. We had to listen to the lecture that eveen thogh we may look different, we all have feelings
no, really? i was SURE that right-handed people did NOT have feelings.
bichon, that as word is pretty... a + what sounds like the hot place with steaming rocks that you find at athletic clubs and sp**
and don't get me started on those people with droopy earlobes.
I'll never forget the gender discrimination THING we had to sit through for 2 days (in theory). The lecturers were asking whether it was wrong that in deals, girls should wear short skirts and nice clothes to get the older company executives to play nicely. The lecturers thought this idea horrendous. We all went "hell, yeah! whatever it takes!". They ended up walking out after about 2 hours
Yes, we all have feelings. I feel that we will all get along fine as long as everyone speaks understandable english and they all have good personal hygeine.
the problem with common sense is that it's not all that common - mark twain
Wait--they were trying to tell you that "dressing for success" only means putting on a suit?
lol
Aloy, got it. TY
Judi, why did you have to say that before I've showered today??!?!?
they were trying to tell us that all the girls shouldn't use their feminine charms to get ahead with a deal!
Thought it sounded East Indian
*smacks forehead* Samantha, all these years I thought they were saying, "Dress for safe sex". Silly me.
that we had to wear trousers LOL every day! no skirts!
Judi, you crack me right up :)
trying to run one copy of babble on 2 machines here but it don,t work out
trying to run one copy of babble on 2 machines here but it don,t work out
i bet all the individual people involved in these stupid classes DO have common sense. it's just an inevitable fact of large organizations. a person deciding what makes sense is replaced by a procedure that must be followed. the procedure takes on a life of its own.
oh, good, bichon!
yes, it just gets silly and so PC
and you spend the time talking about concepts that just don't work in the real life
hurshy: onea coworker made a remark to a jewish coworker recently about wearing a yellow star. now tell me about common sense?
people rise to their own level of incompetence, hurshy
Yeah, it's often a matter of differing standards more than it's a matter of common sense. Mind, some people are just dumb, too!
there are definitely a lot of people with no common sense in the world. i was just trying to give the people involved in MY torment the benefit of the doubt.
LOL. My husband was in a "diversity awareness" class about a year ago. The instructor asked the question, "How would you define workplace diversity?". Hubby's office mate replied (dripping with sarcasm), "corporate buzzword?". Hubby said he just about snorted coffee out his nose.
TO, a friend of mine recently disagreed with a Jewish coworker who snapped "yeah, well, you're German, it's not surprising you'd argue with me."
looool Judi. Diversty awareness courses are so stupid
i almost never get angry about anything. the two exceptions are my husband, and people who inflict boredom on me.
lol ditto here, hurshy! exacly!
Amen, Hurshy.
sepa
sepa sepa
gezundheit, TO
you keep using that word...
Nice try, TO. No cigar.
can you do that again with a real word or two?
purlease???
threats to hurt other people can trigger me pretty quickly. I'm willing to be bored by people, though. :)
LOL
1st pa clue please
bullies, racists and ignorant f*&^%$£ who want to hurt others, that gets my blood up fast, the rest i let slide
see those things make me more scared/sad
ruru: not mom, + green b**** and onion casserole is a popular dish at Thanksgiving
I skip over scared and go straight to "boiling"
they make me sad too, but in this day and age with the advances we have made in improving understanding and acceptance, those things realy anger me
ty aloy
SPEAKING of green bean casserole, can you believe campbells is suggesting that it is part of the "magic" of christmas and show a spoonful of GBC enabling a christmas tree to light up??!?!?!?!
hi all. How's your day going?
I pitty those type of people too. For they are alarmingly ignorant.
yw.. hurshy, i really don't care for it.. sloppy, ruins the g. beans
Oh, dear, hurshy. Christmas has no magic left, then
i don't know which i think is sadder, that or the high fructose corn syrup commercials.
but think amo ment. the culture has become so crude. tcact and manners are considered for the old folks. what is the most popular humor? it's mean humor. Can't make fun of any group so just be mean to all.
i don't pity them, their ignorance is a sign of a closed mind and lack of education, something we are all responsible for in ourselves, but to think those people are breeding and passing on that sickness, that's scary
The WHATS?
*SPLUFFFFFFFFFF* water has come out of my nose hursh
sorry bout that TO :)
lol
at least it was only water, it could have been more painful :0)
:D i needed a laugh today!
TO, that's a sort of "this younger generation is awful" complaint we've been hearing forever--if tact is for old people, how do you explain Don Rickles??!?!?
glad to be of assistance, then
can someone please clue the ar7/32 for me?
it is an inverse trig function
this generation is awful, but you have young people being raised by a genberation who were raised by the people who lived through the fear and uncertainty of the war, that causes a rift in attachment and in social rules, why be strict when it could all end tomorrow?
perhaps, sj. but rickles was one man. it's pervasive now. things change, they don't stay the same. that's the direction we are g oing.
ty hursh
it's a vicious cycle
sorry, steps off soap box
jaq: very true. that fear is still palpable in me.
I don't believe that this generation is awful. I have strong reservations about our culture in general, but I don't buy that one generation is more to blame for "culture" than another
young people these days are as frightened at the ones who lived through the war
what is the other 8, besides the ar?
it all depends on what you look at though. i mean, in cold mountain, for instance, when news comes that the civil war has started, the young men start saying, "whoooo! we got our war! we got our war!"
tr8
they aren't but when a generation lived through a hellish experience, like the londoners or berlinners during the war, it means they are less rigid because they know how frail and short life can be
Rickles was a very popular comedian, though; if he were "one man", he'd have been ostracized for his attitude, not paid handsomely for it. The general culture approved, is what I'm saying.
TY annie
i agree Samantha
i should have seen that one
hi Anniebrook!
now, i personally think that they sound an AWFUL lot like guys who are cheering for their football team, and am very thankful that much masculine energy has been redirected from violence to sports.
they are. different things are frightening them but they are frightenined just the same. do you suppose this is a twentieth century thing, or do yo uthink the coming generation always had such angst?
Hi Aloy!
I think that Socrates complained about the lack of respect and manners shown by the coming generation! LOL
they didn't understand the horror of war, we have the media and the popular press of the time to thank for that, if they told it like wilfred owen did they wouldn't have had a generation sign up to defend country and home
are you having an Indian Summer in NY, Annie?
i think the angst comes with coming of age and the uncertainty from that
ah, then i am in good company ;)
Aloy, it is starting to cool off here. The colors of the trees are magnificent
we're all trying to not be our parents, but so often i sound like my mum then i cringe
we're all trying to not be our parents, but so often i sound like my mum then i cringe
jacq, we're in a war right now. And the day after 9/11, military recruiting skyrocketed.
wish i was there annie... no changing colors here
wow, i sent that only once
it just seems the social structure has changed so much iover the last 6 or 7 generations, accelerating that angst.
enjoy the eye candy while you can, Annie!
my father often talks about the marvels he has seen that they never dreamt of
I agree, Temple, we're inthe middle of some cast social restructuring that started with WWII and hain't ended yet
yes it did Samantha, and that war situation, the horror of 9/11 and everything since then has only heightened the fear felt by everyone, the young are more susceptible
i would hesitantly hypothesize that as technology accelerates, everything else accelerates
Hmmmm - With so many benefits, may be I should take up Drinking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL 'Life isn't about how many breaths you take in one moment, but by the moments that take your breath away' 'Sometimes, when I reflect back on all the wine I drink, I feel shame. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the vineyards and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this wine, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered.

A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But, naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers.' WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may make you think you are whispering when you are not

hi lynxxx
hello lynxxx
hello there
Thanks Mad Giraffe, found it
hey feather, is daniel feeling any better?
Nasty word, that is.
well, his eardrum is infected almost to the point of rupturing. he got 3 different meds and is napping now.
Hmm, does anyone have ta7/ 32?
poor Daniel!
yeah, he was literally screaming about it this morning at 5. that's when i realized that we had a problem.
oh, poor Daniel, he must be hurting! hope he comes through the other end all intact
ta7.32 is plural. Black stuff and frying ****
he should do better now. he got motrin, amoxicillin, and numbing drops to put in the ear right away.
the ped looked in his ear and said "oh yeah, this is textbook."
he said you don't see them quite that bad that often. my poor baby!
poor little guy... poor little guy's mama! glad he'll be okay though
i've had many ear infections as a kid, so i completely understand how much it hurts. doug never had one, lucky guy, so he wasn't quite getting it about why daniel was so hysterically clingy to me all morning. i couldn't even go into the kitchen without him freaking out.
any ache in the head is awful
good afternoon babblers
72 left, getting the list.
...many
hi Josh
Is it genetic or something?
don't think so giraffe, as this is only daniel's second or third one in his life, and he's 4. i'd get that many in one year, at least.
Was he able to tell you it was his ear?
oh yes, he was!
...only?
we walked into the ped's office, and he was telling the receptionist "my ear hurts!"
It's lots better for them to be able to tell you. With the littler ones, they just scream and you have no idea
I don't know how often ear infection occurs in infants, but it would surprise me if it was that often.
Some children have a differently shaped ear canal and are more prone. My son seemed to have one after another and my daughter hd a few. But, grand kids haven't had any so far
yeah, it all depends on the kid.
how did we make out feather?
Hmm well yeah, ear formation is indeed mostly non genetic.
Like fingerprints.
scroll down a little carlee, i just got here!
me too..ok...
My daugher used to get them frequently too, in fact still has occasional problems and now in her 20s. They tested all kindergarten kids before they went to primary school and we found out she only had 30% hearing! Happily clears up with medication only
well..hope he is better....
So apparently she actually was a bad listener.
he should be soon
good good
hearing aids is difficult business...
Mad G. lol - It did explain a lot of seemingly small issues
Hey folks! Walter in bed and taught me a new song he made up: "There is a window, there is a mama, there is a twinkle star, there are curtains. It is a doggy, it is a kitty cat, twinkle star, curtains, mama daddy I love you." So how is everyone tonight?
aww, cute song!
hi Monkey - cute
You should hear the tune! Not to mention the sweet, shy little voice mumble-singing it into my neck.
awwwwwwwwww cute
In english?
Yes, we speak mstly English at ome although all his entertainment, school, daycere, etc. are in Dutch along with most of his friends.
TV kids' shows in English freak him out now. Kind of cute. Given the choice of Teletubbies on Ned1 or BBC, he'll plump for Ned1 every time.
Dang, my keyboard's doing that again!
I personally always preferred quite the opposite.
Now he is also not content to know a word in only one language. If he learns an English word he immediately requests the Dutch and andersom.
It troubles me to see that more an more kid shows on Dutch television are dubbed in dutch.
That's good.
Yes, I prefer the ones made here. Sesame Street for example-- they always do that regional.
At least this isn't Germany-- adults are expected to be able to read subtitles. But yes, wherever possible I am a stickler for Original Language.
Although I wouldn't have been able to read the Discovery of Heaven when I did if I was religious about that... but I'm ready for the original NOW.
I saw one kid's show that had actors dubbed in dutch, truly horrible.
Are you over here, then, Mad Giraffe?
Yeah.
evening everyone
Which show was that? There are a few that bug me.
Where are you? If it's not rude to ask. We're in Haarlem.
hi kitt!
It's a great day to be American, hi babblers! Is the grid friendly today?
I don't know the name of the show. It's about some kid.
And some school.
The gid is not outright malicious...
gRid...
asg..isn't it amazing how one event can change the owrld's perception overnight?
Hi AsG..nice grid (except for the last 20!)
I need to go straight to the pb as I signed off with a P*** this morning :-(
Ah. Walter's only 4 so he probably doesn't watch that one, then. Can't think of one that fits the description, anyway.
not outright malicious... is that the best ya got? lol hi carlee and lynxxx
Yup.
we noticed Katie!
oooh, I think that'll be my first word katie!!
See lynxxx I'm an honest person :-)
oooh, some good w words!
The dubbing on Dora and Diego actually amkes them less annoying, and then there are shows where noone actually says anything, like Bruno, but in general I prefer original language stuff for him. Interestingly, though, we have a Dora DVD he's been preferring tow atch in Portuguese lately...
lol whayt
Yeah, don't know why. Guess he just likes the sound of it. "Baila con los Teletubbies" (got free on Queen's Day) leaves him cold though.
Fireworks here - oooh have you noticed - hardly any fireworks and it is Guy Fawkes!!! yay
I only have one from the right S-- what one does to gravy on a plate with bread. What do the other two look like?
congrats ursh
Congrats Ursh!
YAY URSH!
Hey, why so it is....
Eh, one of the babble words doesn't have a definition...anywhere.
wtg ursh!
That happens sometimes. Which one is it?
sh4 is a butter
Ah, TY so much!
so4.6 is the other
OK, looking! Thanks!
Think poor Mr Fawkes has died a "timely" death
One of the ai4's.
Oh, only have the obvious one of those.
Good evening everyone.
Yeah I only got it trough trial and error.
Hi elder
Hullo Elder.
Hey there Elder!
hi Elder!
w gray - all by myself! :)
WTG, AsGreen!
hello all. Hope everyone is ok.
So I am dying of curiosity... not so many Nederlanders on here. Which province are you in, Mad Giraffe?
Don't know him.
Utrecht, you?
We're in Haarlem, Noord Holalnd.
So not so far, then. What fun.
Arrg. Clue for As5/10, please?
I have met up with another Dutch Babbler, Sprite, in Koog aan de Zaan.
Joy.
Not a Zappateer, are you?
No idea where that is.
as5 ens like the long yellow fruit
Ty! Fireworks!
enDs
Congrats Judi!!
wtg Judi!! and thx lynxxxx
Home from gym 84 left moving right along.
I'm always saying "tx lynxxx"
Outskirtish, around 40 minutes from Haarlem. Small place, as you may have guessed. Not important, really, either...
Yay Judi!!!!
hello Monkey! (((((hugs))))) how are you today?
YAY Judi!
Why do a lot of the small dutch places have weird names? Really...
hi Red
Hmmm. Like Vrouwenverdriet, or Drie Hoefijzers? I think that happens the world over...
Vrouwenverdriet just HAS to be based on one of those plague-years widow towns...
we have a village called Nempnett Thrubwell :P
hello red, Judi, Stidman AsGreen and anyone else who i may have missed.
the first name started with "women (who do something)" the second is "three hof (house?) something..."
And I'm sure Drie Hoefijzers is the result of a thrown shoe. While the horse recovered they found they like it there. Just a theory.
hello Ata.
hi BLUE turtle head!!!
Hi elder, stiddy, ata, et al!!
congrats Judi (delayed response from the McGrath household)
Blue, your state is still undecided ya know
the lecturers are rambling a bit today, I am getting a lot done in the grid.
Vrouwenverdriet means "sadness of women", and Deie Hoefijzers meand "three horseshoes", Stid, so VERY good!
AND -- after only two days, I already have some things growing in the lab!!! *excited look* I have to go in later and count the colonies that are forming!
stiddy, you are doing the grid whilst in class??? shame on you!! :) ***gives mama a stern mama look***
Are they things you intended to be growing in the lab? Ha, ha, o really--what are they?
thanks Monkey, I do try, even if i only understand a little bit. it's easier to read Dutch than the textbook for my class...
LOL As!
Oooh, they're about to interview Attenborough! May be distracted now.
down to 81.... *sticks tongue out at As*
go stiddy go - but don't get caught!
AS wait until the paper is due, then there will be regrets :-)
stid you came home?
Awesome!!!
Are you a native Dutch person, Mad Giraffe? It's no doubt obvious I am naturalized instead of native.
ah, it's okay As... this part is things I already know really well. :-)
I have changed my icon and mappy guy fawkes day...can you wish someone a happy guy fawkes day?
I'm 100% dutch.
yes, red, I am optimistic today.
Sure, why not, Red?
OK. Was just curious.
i dunno Monkey I dont know much about it.
Yes me too Stid. very optimistic.
ok, I'm embarrassed to say, "who is guy fawkes"
Can you speak fluent dutch?
You can google him AsG
guy fawkes was the leader of the people who tried to blow up the british parliament a long time ago... around the time of Charles I think
AsGreen, learn to use Wikipedia.
Well, neither do I, Red.
ah, yes, I could, but I figured someone would want to espouse a bit
Mad -- that was rude.
thank you stiddy
It was honest.
it was rude. you assume that someone doesn't know how to do something without reason.
so why would it be a "happy day" ?
But I guess honesty is overrated.
thats why I was asking asg.
***shouldn't need to acknowledge, but will" : I know how to use Wiki, but I felt like asking
It looks fun, but...not sure why it should a wishing you a happy guy fawns day
fawkes.
THis is insane that they are not calling NC.
stiddy, thank you my dear, but we can move on - my skin is much thicker than that. I'm sure Mad is just testing the waters...
it provides an opener to a conversation
so red, I mean blue, did you see my comment about NC?
Ah, then my apologies, assumption is the way of the devil. I'm used to dwell in the darker depths of the internet...
how close does it need to be to provoke a recount?
apology accepted Mad :)
1605 Catholics led by Guy Fawkes tried to blow up Parliament in the reign of James 1st. \Guy and others were caught and tortured to death for treason.
But I forget, this is not your standard community.
thanks elder.
anyway, still don't get the "happy guy fawkes" part, but, if I have the time and the inclination I'll study it more... LOL, or rely on elder to educate me! :)
hung drawn and quartered and their remains displayed in public, the celebration is the foiling of the plot and the saving of the king
Giraffe, you will find this chat room to be shockingly friendly. I have never once seen a flame war, and we get through interpersonal problems with flying colors. Had a bit of a kerfuffle with someone myself last night and well, water under the bridge. This place rocks.
God Save the King!
It's popularisation might have something to do with the movie that was made about it.
hello asg
Lynxx :)
thx to you too jac.... so.... I guess HGF day to all.. but for me, I'll focus on "proud to be an American again day"!!
LOL lynxxx!
I think I missed it AsGreen? what was the comment?
it was celebrated at the time of the execution, remember the king had a lot of political clout in those days
ah kje, my ally!!!
Therefore the fireworks are in celebration of the saving of parliament etc.
you need an ally?
just that they still hadn't called it, so pick your head back up! :)
gotta run
lol, nope she doesn't
lol, nope she doesn't
I can't say proud to be an American simply because I am not one anymore, but I CAN say, proud, proud of by birth country this day!
and Red, I think you can say happy fireworks if you want to.
bye kje
always be proud of your roots
later kje
Bye kje!
we were headed to rude territory - but Mad came around and became friendly again!
Wierdly the state itself is reporting on the Web site a win for Obama. I can not see why they dont just give it up...
bye kje
KJE WHAT HAPPENED!!!!!!
I'm mr. blunt.
asg is zac efron coming to your house??
Mad, I'm fairly outspoken myself - no worries!! :)
kje has made me want coffee BBS
lol lynxxx
hello Mr Blunt, i loved your first single
I need coffee too, but I am being strong... LOL
I changed my icon is my effigy showing up for anyone?
oy, we're quickly going on tangents!! lol
ok, it's grid time again.... ***splash***
it looks like a house to me
yes Red, and it's so cute..
We have a dining room full of fireworks for saturday :-)
well, down to 71 and stalled. I need to get the list. I changed my icon too -- but you might need to refresh to see it... it's probably squished funny, too.
I wish.
Yaaay!
:)
stid. He looks grrrreat.
Obama won?
the effigy looks like a muppet... LOL
thanks red.
Indeed Mad , he swept it.
oh katie! that is so dangerous! *worried mama look*
Nice.
We don't smoke in the house honestly. They are all in their packaging and the kitties can't light matches so it should be fine. They have actually been here for a week and a half already :-)
*****restraining herself from making snide internet comment to Mad******
well, I hope so. *worried mama look* my brother's best friend did firewords... and ended up blowing up himself and his grandfather's house making a rocket. *sad mama look* that was 20 years ago...
o from far right column?
rofl as As...
As -- mistake exclamation... OO**
what you say when you make an error asg
tx stiddy!
right column grey!
and tx red!
go As go!!!!
on another note, I saw Tyson Gaye at the gym today, apparently he;s back with us for the winter.
who is tyson gaye?
who is tyson gaye??? (and should I care?)
wiki girls, wiki!
hi everyone. Stid - are you supposed to be studying?
...
He is an Olmpic Althelete. strong runner...I like seeing him round.
wow. I got the 8s!
um, in lecture, autumn... (see earlier discussion on my slacking off)
oh coool
oh! okay, then I care a lot and am glad he is back!
errr Olympic
*read it earlier, thought it was over*
that's cool red - very cool! I no longer go to a gym now that I do boot camp... OUTSIDE 3x a week!
what are you getting told about today, stiddie?
I do get to be part of a cool training situation...
I guess what I meant, As... was who is that man to red... is there a relationship. And she answered it. *grin*
but it was mentioned that I look like I gained a little too much weight recently...not so fun.
biofilms in medical settings. BAD news.
BBC's doing a thing on Guy Fawkes now.... Wish they'd get back to Attenborough.
are the 7 c words all cr?
I run outside in the am, and swim but the weights remain in the gym
BBC doing Guy Fawkes on Guy Fawkes night? Never!
this slide is papillomaviruses. wa4 all over the screen. yuck.
no, there are two ch words
that was an unkind comment, red, you have my permission to ignore it. You look fine to me.
Ata, Are they tonight . Previous years they have shown the celebrations in London at the nearest weekend.
As axed!
not on my BBC, but ... obviously on MG's
its ok stid. I might have put on too much, but I was too thin before. its hard to balance.
just goin gto check my BBC
This show is doing it now. Just said that he got his experience with gunpowder HERE.... also he was not the plot leader, he was just the gunpowder uy, it seems...
MG.
oh, right :)
now we are talking about oncogenes and proto-oncogenes
thx for the ch's, Stid. I introduced my MIL to Kitchen Nightmares last night. I think she's hooked
nopem he was just the fall guy
This is The One Show, it seems.
rth, I mean bth, who would have the nerve to say that? meanie
ours is showing guy fawkes in a very condesending way
oh ok
my coach....AsG. it's ok, the extra weight makes me about 20 sec slower per mile.
*doesnt watch the one show*
Cs conquered
Giraffe, this is also a problem when I and MayneGuy are both on.
ah, got the ch's too.... and only ONE cr!!
now we are talking about the cell cycles, and how the viruses cause cancer accidentally....
Ok red your coach is about the only one who could get away with it without attracting the wrath of babble chat
rth, in this boot camp we have to do a timed mile every week or so - I've shaved off lots of seconds - but I'm NOT a runner!! so, I'm proud! :)
yeah, except MayneGuy has a Canadian flag... LOL if Mad goes pro, we'll be sunk!
i USUALLY DON'T EITHER, aTA, BUT THEY SAID aTTENBOROUGH WAS THE SPECIAL GUEST. Oops, sorry, capslock does that sometimes...
If.
as5,10, please, just can't see it
hello bubba
As 5/10 is the yoga pose with breathing
Hi Stid!
as + girl's name, funny spelling
Yeah, but regardless of who has what flag, directing comments to MG *can* go wrong.... Just like talking to "Monkey"-- more than once I have been on at the same time as Lil' Monkey AND Blue Monkey!
tell us a bit about yourself, mad giraffe, we'e at a disadvantage while you're not pro
*off to look for words*
It should be no problem for the wieght to come off though, so its just a matter of a few weeks.
I have NBT.... 75 words in....
now talking about pap smears... what they do and don't actually tell about potential infection
go As go!
Thanks
stid, WHAT CLASS IS THIS???
Rd, I am trying to lose 23 kilos... in addition to the 9 I have already lost.
Es erased...
I'm an artist, of sorts. Game/character design oriented.
microbial ecology -- how do the organisms affect their environments
Balanced diet Monkey...and moderate exercise.
rth, my comment was for you to ask me, "oooh, ASG, how fast is your mile now"??? :)
23 kilos... that's a fair bit to lose!
And I've got tons of hobbies and interests everywhere.
AsG that is awesome! on the running
please I still have 4 stone to go!!
Cool,Stid! Get a webcam so we can audit.
oh interesting! I know quite a few people who do similar. It's fun
LOL
Fs fixed
ditto here, kitt!
LOL wish I could, Monkey. my computer doesn't even have a built-in mic.
I can handle kilos. stones???? *sigh* you brits are truly amazing with your measures
Hs hacked.
aw shucks, I'll tell ya - the first time it was 9:07, then I got it down to 8:40, 8:34, and then, then... I ran with "the fast girls" and got 7:57!!!!
The quickest way to lose way is to get a tapeworm, seriously.
ASG you can tell me how fast you are now if you want.
I was doing OK then was poorly and work got stressy so need to start again
*weight
Ns nixed...
That's 25 kilos, Stid. About what I have to lose as well.
go stiddy go!!
Ok that is 56 pounds
Stone= about 12-14 pounds.
WOW As! *impressed mama look*
rth, I'm ahead of you! (in terms of telling you before you ask)....
stone = 14 pounds
but, I could NEVER sustain that speed longer than one mile
thanks red. wow.
Ok no complaint here, I need to loose errr (Shamefully ducksrotten tomatos.) 4 pounds.
Yaaaay ASG!
you could if you wanted to
I'm the same as you rth, a few lbs would be great
Well, that show is over... an absolute waste of Sir David Attenborough. No wonder you don't watch the show, Ata.
GO ASG!!!!
I'm going to turn over and watch the football now
OK, now we are going to watch recorded stuff and settle in for the evening. I may pop back on whenD goes up for a smoke, Have fun, all! And YAY about the election!
*through tomatoes, pumpkins and old dahlias from compost heap at red*
rofl...
bye Monkey and Katie!!
Happy Guy Fawes day!!!
Os obliterated
Bye Monkey
stid, that is not nice.
:(
still trying to monkey 3 c words
I'm still here, multi tasking at it's best
earlier this year I had to gain about 10 pounds so having to lose is very odd.
Slinks off to shower...
I should have been paying better attention today. BUT it just wasn't in me. In fact, I almost skipped the lecture entirely.
red, you aren't going to make friends this way! lol
ah, then hi again katie!
bye Monkey
i only lose weight when I am really miserable. I'm concentrating on not gaining any more.
my puppy is wiped out - we had puppy kindergarten this am
Well Katie do not get miserable.
you're right.. *throws chocolate cake, milkshake and cookies at red*
*wicked grin*
Yaaay Puppy K!
I'm shattered I woke up in time for the acceptance speach which was way too early
Asg he is very cute.
yes *she* is
Exactly red better fat than miserable :-)
stid!!! i THOUGHT YOU WERE "mY FRIEND"
ooops
caps lock...
I saw Ringo at work today thought better of telling him about a puppy named the same ;-)
rofl again
apologizes for shouting throughtout chat
PA 5/12 after the doubles of things?
I'm sure that counts as a word
lol Katie
teacher just said "listen up"
LOL Stid...directed directly at you???
yet, you are still typing stiddy
she's spotted you stid!!
you now need to answer a question to prove you know about oncogenes.
Or ask a question of minor importance.
pa5/12 - like a fabric design, no L or Y
shena warrior princess is not a word darn
no, no.... she was talking to the whole class. someone was snoring.
xena
why is pe4/5 a word but po4/5 is not (bodily functions)
LOL
pa5.12 alter the end vowel on the 'fabric' one clued by Autumn
I take my notes on the computer, so there is little difference in pattern from that and babbling
aha! thanks for the PA 5/12
i have no idea, sometimes the words on here shock me, like the di words yesterday
good cover Stid!
Ps pummeled
the chuckling might give the game away
94 in/94 out - must go shower and be a bit productive for awhile - bbs
but right now, she is talking A) so far above my head and B) so fast, that even with my ability, it is futile to try.
hb
JUST caught on to Stiddy's alliteration. LOL
I am learning more by listening with one ear constantly than by trying to get it all written down.
*grin* took you long enough As!
bye everyone... *po4/8*

mostly about how happy people are, especially African-Americans
hi, everyone - just stopping in to chat - we're stilll absorbing the big news but today the talk is already about his cabinet, etc....
I haven't looked/heard yet Carlee. But we had pretty saturated coverage all day/night yesterday. Everyone I have spoken bto seems v. happy about the result
Tee hee .. I'm an imp ..
hi Torgone, ok?
wooohooooo done at last
it's momentous - and so wonderful to have a president who is able to express in words what this means for everyone - he spoke so well last night, and so did McCain, I have to say
I just found a way to babble at work ..
Hooray for jacq!
wtg tor!!
please, do share, torgone
hey, torgone, that's cool - I found a way to not work at all this week (just kidding - it's a school vacation)

I found if I follow a link from a site, I could go to some sites that were blocked ..
a nice romantic? pic on the beach?
oh, thanks, jacq - but why can't I see it? (by the way, that's my son!!) LOL
that's why i put in the ? i wasn't sure
LOL
when I enter a post, I'm still seeing the old picture of me with my husband
have you refreshed the page?
yes, I've refreshed many times
should I log out and start all over again ?
jbv - I had to log off, turn off the 'puter, then power up again before my last one changed. But everyone else saw my new one
oh, thanks autumn, I may try that later
by the way, I finished earlier - if anyone needs a clue...
A clue for zo5, 20 please?
zo4.9 has a normal & a latin plural
zo 5 - add three vowels, Mad (Latin plural)

Dang that's a lot of vowels.
Thanks a lot.

On vacation and enjoying a warm sunny day.
(so much for learning basic math...I don't remember TRIG!)
nice..is warm here too ( relatively )
cld it be preceded with "co"?
I'm in Ottawa right now, carlee
Pretty warm here too ..
ah..well....is relatively warm there too. ( am in sarnia )
got it!
I'm not dumb after all!
sounds the same Pini
heading to TO on Monday, hope the weather holds
what in toronto for u am?
to meet finally see the granddaughter
how old?
WOOHOO for u AM... when was she born?
*to meet AND finally.....* She was borned Apr 22 so 7 months
woot woot ! enjoy !
nice... how exciting for u
and great shopping too
Don't know if we'll do much shopping. Will have to take a look around their place and see what else they need. New condo, new baby - probably lots
where abouts are they in TO?
scarb
( sounds like a trip to IKEA )
Ikea --- good idea! Hey that rhymes
If you mispronounce it.
( well... here...we pronounce the same....we've canadianized it )
that's how it's pronounced in their ads
eye Key ahh
Yeah, but who makes the ads?
eye Dee ahh
Where you from Mad Giraffe?
From the netherlands.
Hey, dat's purdy fancy talkin dere, eh ..
na 5/10, please?
(tor - you forgot the " ya'all "
tor...u sound like a newfie
actually..no....like a saskatchewanan ( north dakota is close )
..don'tcha know ..
lol carlee.... I just had to re-read that....
Here's my one question of the day...
saskatchewhatnow?
na5.10 n & what you breathe & vowel
Sound Native American.
...how does one who has lived in snow for so long have an accent from the "Fargo" area?????????
saskatchewan is a profince in mid canada ( between manitoba and alberta...)...and yes..is a native indian word ( for what..no eye dee ahh )
Watch a lot of television.
ty lynxxx
I been dere plenty o' times ..
The one thing I think of when I hear "that" voice is a wood chipper!
The province's name comes from the Saskatchewan River, whose name comes from its Cree designation: kisiskÄciwani-sÄ«piy, meaning "swift flowing river".
The name for the province of Saskatchewan comes from the Cree, who called the Saskatchewan River "Kisiskatchewani Sipi," meaning swiftly flowing river.
Heh, topological naming used to be so simple.
Well, tanks for clearin' dat up for us ..
* snap * you two!
hehehe....sn4,5 am
to the PB pini
..don'tch know ..
Back from the de fleaing adventure. not very successful.
OOPS!

and again, pini
er...way
what now????
oo4
say kisiwatchiwani fast 5 times
oh, crap...I think I'd better forget the grid for now and just go back to work!
Not especially hard..
later pini
I did it .. You'll just have to take my word for it ..

Warm climate.

And now... a migraine. I may or may not be able to get back in to count my plates. Will rest up an hour or so and see...
JUDY!!!! (((((((hugs)))))))
Hello
*!* ta da *!* - thanks for the help :)
*hands migraine meds to Stid*
thanks Judy.
woohoo Nan!!!!
YAY nan!!!
How's school going, Stid?
I am afraid I need assistance on the last two fishy SE 5
se 5: rhymes with Hi IQ group me***
not well Judy -- I am completely disillusioned, NOT understanding anything about what one of the teachers is insistent is important (yes, it's important, but it's too complicated to start with)...
se 5: use your common se***
AHA! thanks nan
oh, no, Stid. Very sorry to hear that. I had trouble with an ethics class. Could not get on the same wave length as the instructor no matter how hard I tried.
I am not stoopid, but I am feeling stoopid, Judy. it's not a comfortable feeling.
off to make some lunch -- bbl for clue giving :)
cu later Nan
It's just that the class said freshmen were accepted... but there were no indications that you already needed to have some basics in microbiology before you started. I got bogged down in week one.
I feel for you Stid. And I know what you're saying about the class. I had the same thing happen. I think sometimes they don't take the time with the "older" students who are returning to explain things.
thanks Judy. I am glad you understand. I am actually learning a lot, but the lectures are not helpful, and *whine whine*
I too took classes out of order and it was a royal headache.
on the other hand, the research project for the class is going just fine.
SN 5 please?
well that's good Stid. I'm sure the project will count for a good portion of your grade.
Aren't there other students that can pull you along?
s + type of tide Stid
gah. thansk for the fish, Judy
how are you doing? it's cold here, I imagine you're getting a bit nippy back there?
would you believe it was 67 today. Absolutely gorgeous. But the cold is returning on Sunday. :(
firewords. thanks for the help!
have tons of yard work to do and they're calling for showers so I can toss that aside. And it's getting dark now way too early to suit me.
woohoo Stid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That sounds really nice, Judy! I bet it's nice to not need extra layers!
I left my gloves behind at the kid's school just now, so will have to go get them before I head back to my own school.
I am basically a wimp -- I don't like being cold. Ever.
how many nights do you have classes?
I have class only Wednesday nights for this one class, but I also have to go to the lab this afternoon and see how many colonies I have growing... checked this morning, and some plates were already very well covered (trying to see what microbes grow in compost)
as5/10 pls?
as 5/10: as + a girl's name miss-spelled, it is a yoga position with breathing
? don't know yoga and just can't monkey it
okay, I need to go do some studying.
good luck Stid. cu later
as + end of the name of a long yellow fruit
good clue Mad ty
Hmm, ap5 clue please?
ap 5, plural of the one before
D'OH
Can't believe I haven't tried that one.

Limitations of the mind.
bicho! Freeze!
I love cracking myself up ..
Might have been funnier if I'd spelled bichon right ..
Long time no "see", Tor! How are you?
..I'll just be over here amusing myself ..
Ha, Ha, Ha, heard all the Bichon jokes. The worst one is Bitchin' Frizz
Not bad, Judy ..How's you? ..
No use complaining, Tor. Nobody wants to listen!! LOL Seriously, not doing bad.
Back from dog walking and bathing adventure.
DOg no longer has fleas, but I now have several as they jumped ship...
Had your shots I hope.
Fleas are actually pretty cool looking IMO.
They have this sort of moustache and angry eyebrows
I guess I'm alone in that one.
I've got a mustache and angry eyebrows ..
This angry?: http://tinyurl.com/55ww6j
Not quite ..
I'm overly vaccinated.
bragging again, torgone?
mab my love!
How are you?
oh, you know. have you had your fangs filed down?
Do they have flea eradicaters for humans like they have for canines. If so, is it applied to the back of your neck like Frontline
happy with the election?
Very
Mostly ..
Your crown would be a more logical location...
Also, depends on where the fleas dwell.
thats good, bichon, because torgone can't reach there with his tongue. at least as far as I know.
Like in the nether regions.
I have to hold the fluff still and rub the fur around the spot. Otherwise he shakes his coat and the stuff goes spraying around
CA voted down gay marriage, didn't it?
I can't reach everywhere ..
too bad.
I still can't believe it ..
hi everyone... oooh mab, what exactly does that mean? what about the people who are already married?
I don't think the final tabulation is in. They still don't have one for NC and MO
I support right to gay marriage, i meant to indicate.
I think they are still counting absentee ballots, but it's looking very likely, mab :/
That'll be too bad [MHO]. They just approved in in CT this year.
here in Mass too.
Hmm, Obama doesn't support gay marriage.
I'm in Mass too :) my marriage ceremony was performed by a gay friend - I was proud that I live in a state where he could not only be my officiant, but also marry too if he met the right man.
I think it's pretty much permanent in MA, right?
But he does want to give equal rights for gay couples
I think he may privately, but cannot publicly, not yet.
he doesn't, MG...and that's one thing I majorly disagree with. I think that he does support civil unions, if I have interpreted things correctly.
that's my guess, mab...but who knows.
What do you mean, mab?
He's saying so for more votes?
but what about those who are already married? that's what confuses me...
I think he may speak prudently on some issues. He is actually more liberal than is prudent to display. But this is my opinion, I don't really know. Sorry
not exactly that, MG...but that he personally might believe in equal marriage rights, but knows that it's not currently the will of the nation, and that there are more important things to tackle.
No marriage benefits?
I don't know about that either, but if you are married in a state that allows gay marriage, what happens if you move to a state which doesn't? That's a very difficult question.
Maybe the state just doesn't acknowledge it, depends on state?
I think that people who marry in mass are married always wherever they go or are from. For whatever that's worth.
btw, I strongly support it too
So he does it to get the nation more on his site, ergo, more votes.
*side
hello all. Does anyone need clues?
Just imagine if a gay couple, married in MA, moves to Alabama. I don't think they would recognize the marriage cause it would be against their laws.
hello
hello all
hi phand and peri
I condone gay marriage, I don't support it.
I think that's the wrong way to look at it...I feel like that implies that he's going to get into office and be like SURPRISE, we're gonna have gay marriage, biotches!
hello all, been a while
Well, I don't suppose that anyone running for public office doesn
what then for example, a man who married a 14 year old girl - legal in some states, not in others, as far as I know. Or a marriage of 12 year olds in India, they are still married in England
doesn't think before they speak
sorry chatting with my daughter right now bb if I can
I don't think he has any sort of thing like that in mind, if he supports equal marriage rights at all...this is just speculation. personal feelings and public politics don't have to be the same thing, and perhaps it's even better if they're not...then things can be more balanced and fair for all.
mab, love your icon. I have the same picture on my wall
thanks peri. you are a flower person.
True, politics still is and will always be a theatre.
anybody have a clue for sa 6/18?
ok, two more crs.....
At least, that's how I view it.
Hi interesting thread here. before Civil Rights became a national issue, an intermarried couple (white and nonwhite) that even visited certrain Southern states were committing a crime!
I have the cr 4/9, 4/5, 5/14, what am I missing please?
i don't think any states still allow marriage to minors, Ata, I don't think..... As for immigration, I don't know.
Fortunately, we've gotten past that.
there's a difference between putting on an act, and putting aside your own personal feelings for the good of the country - picking and choosing your battles.
exactly, michnick, it's not just gay couples that face these kind of issues
there;s 1 or 2, I remember looking it up a few months
2 x cr 6/21
Well, Have we gotten past it? Just substitue gay for race.
yes, goat, i think that's more of what I meant.
cr 6/21 - mispronounciation of unwanted edges in clothes
i think we're on the same page, mab :)
Liset was one of nearly 60 girls in that state who married in 2002 at the tender age of 14 – the minimum age in Texas with parental consent. (A handful of other states sanction extremely early marriages with parental consent: In Alabama, South Carolina and Utah, girls can marry at 14; in New Hampshire it’s 13; in Massachusetts and Kansas, 12.)
cr 6/21: the US is experiencing a financial one (pl)
12?
12? Sheesh.
got that cybernan, not the other but working on it
wow, Atalante! I had no idea some states, including my own, had laws that allowed marriage at such a young age!
Ata, have you seen the election map? the south is still pretty tough in some areas.
How long has it been since they updated that one?
incredible, isn't it?!
t'is
I think the question of child marriages is very different that gay marriages. Where is the mutual consent there? Consentual adults? I have kids those ages, they rely on us to help them make decisions, how could that decision be to their ultimate benegit?
anyone want clues before I leave?
can't imagine giving ocnsent
sa 6/18, please
US laws seriously need some cleaning up some time...
I wonder if for MA it's just a blue law and on the books but not actually used. We have a bunch of those.
I agree, Michnick.
it's a different issue; but the same situation in a way - if a 12 year old is married in KA, and goes across to OR, are they still married?
Gosh, my kids don't even date yet!
sa 6/18: french without + beginning of a conjugation of to be
Shalom, Michnick
don't know ata.
Shalom Bichon. Are you french?

US still isn't truly democratic.
But a small victory once in a while is nice.
My dog just actually fixed a toy.
well we voted down the next proto-fascist, so woo-hoo1
Good for you.
Obama has such a pile of poo to clean up ..
And hopefully good for us too.
i'll second that with enthusiasm book!
jan 21, FOX news is GONE. just hoping.
Hrm, how was Obama's stance on relations with Europe again...
tanx mab 8-)
oh, he's agin it. LOL
he has to undo all of W's evil
Heh, 'W', like Wario, Mario's evil opposite.
i think obama knows how to delegate. he will assign a highly qualified team to each mess and get 'em cleaned up. i predict.
...
So first he's going to spend quite some time on finding qualified teams.
i sence a lack of enthusias, giraffe 8-)
I've always been kind of apathetic towards politics.
if anyone can, it's obama. yes he can.
Haven't voted last two years for instance.
until they lock you up with no access to a lawyer, or in some other way trounce on your rights . . .
Hah.

Forms of the word.

OK
littlebit, what are you doin this weekend?
I'll be honest, I'm not happy with Obama. I don't trust him. However, I don't think *any* republican could have won, not after Bush....
Did you trust MCain more?
More of a lesser of two evils thing for me, Mad
well..now that media have annointed him "saint Barack" he is doomed to failure no matter what he does
going down to eliz. city for big bit's chief initiation
oh that's great!!!! I hope you have fun :)
and what are you doing?
Well in that case, I agree, you can never trust politicians.
i'm sure we will!
It's a very mistake prone and risky profession.
mr. monkey and I are planning to see the Norman rockwell exhibit at the Chrysler Museum... other than that, nothing much

Can I just voice my displeasure that we are finally over the political ads but tonight I have seen 5 commercials for Christmas!!!! Too Early
hehe indeed
nice feeling, election being over and all. can't think about commercials yet though
only 5? with the recent financial troubles I've seen more 'Christmas' sales of late... Many stores had Christmas items next to Halloween
hey, dorens!
Tch only just now xmas oriented ads? You're a month behind.
which kinda worked for me since I've already exchanged Christmas gifts with family while I was visiting on vacation
target here has a full corner fo the store xmas already.
Let's just rush our lives away!!!
i haven't seen any christmas commercials
granted... i don't watch a lot of TV, but do watch some
hey une. i haven't seen commercials per se, but displays are up in target, costco, etc

hey, mom!
{{Une}} hi
Hello mom.
hello mom
Hi Mad Giraffe. I don't think I know you, have you been babbling long?
Hi Ice
hi there mom how are you doing this evening?
{{Dorens}} hi, I am doing just fine. How are you?
Indeed I haven't, still working on getting my firs fireworks.
I sure hop it'll live up to it's legend.
ok mom, but the words are coming slowly to me tonight
well, welcome to Babble. you will get the fireworks the first two weeks but after that you will have to be Pro to get the fireworks.
ty for 8s
I have been struggling as well. I think my brain is fried
MOM!
{{{{MOM}}}}}
I've only got two weeks to achieve fireworks? Dang.
:( this thing is killing me
{{Lil*Monkey}} hello. How are you?
finally got 2/3 of the words so i just opened lickety, it is going much faster now
Mad, you can pay a one time fee of $15 and then you can get fireworks everytime you complete a grid
doing OK mom, and u? btw, your monkey kin say hello LOL
that is good Dorens, I am just picking at words tonight
no, mad giraffe you can achieve fireworks anytime, but you need to shell out the $15 after two weeks... and well worth the money
{{Hugs to the monkey kin}}
Glad you are doing fine, Lil Monkey. Doing just fine here too
Mad, not only will you get the fireworks, you will keep the tile stats and word stats too
AND get to put in a cute picture (icon)!
Meh, I don't really feel a need for those stats.
Good for you, Mad, I would be lost without the them
Nor do I really need the whole community thing. I'm just here for the puzzle.
well I wish you fireworks
Well thank you.
oh good evening all. I was here at 4:30 and just woke up. darn it all.
you are so welcome. :)
I will not finish grid I still have 69 left.

eva... i plan to sleep very early tonight
help with the last pa5 please?
oh..hi eva...missed u there.....trying to get this thing done.....7 to go
plural the pa4
like an ally-oop in footbal... but takje away an s
i already accidently napped for the last few hrs
my phone is also SO quiet
accidently napped.. lol
TY mixi and kajee
i was up early yesterday (well, my normal go-to-work time) voted, worked from home + it felt like i had a late night... all this getting-dark-super-early crap is making me sleepy all the time!
that is good lexi... i hate salescalls
kje came home to the US!!!
LOLOL, red! I feel like my whole day should have been an accidental nap
i voted a week early so i could work yesterday.
first pa5?
alas, dc, MD didnt have early voting -- but we voted it as a constitutional amendment yesterday!
took the pressure off, eh DCS?
i had a nappypoo too
but (unfortunately, in my opinion) we also voted in slots... :/
oh, cool, evaN. here in VA, we've been able to vote early for several years now.
voted in slots?
slots???
me too - but did not stay up for election results - too much stress and suspense - not fun
MD had slots for decades, as therefore did Colonial Beach, VA
oooohhhh - gambling slots!
slot machines, I assume....
MD will now have slot machines... the money will do to education...
i thought you meant you were given a time slot to vote
Oh, lex, you should have joined us last nigth watching!
I treated it like Santa or the Easter Bunny - went to bed and waited to see what Uncle Sam brought in the morning
mccain's concession was lovely said. would that those in the crowd listening cared what he said.
LOLOL, lex....
im all for creative fund-raising...but im concerned what slots will do to the areas where they allow them...concerned about the people they will bring around...
sorry, obviously a little slow on the uptake tonight
indeed, dcs.....
the money from the lotto was suppose to go to education when i was living up there, eva... so much for THAT!
( we had it here eva...
no - I am not happy with many out comes - I would have been grumpy
dcs, why do you think they didn't care?
It's hard coming back down to earth today.... last night, I had three windows of returns open....
they built a casino in an area that not proximal to residential.... is a bit secluded actually...there a "special " bus specifically for that location...
the booing at his conciliatory words, and the zealous cheering when he mentioned Palin
b/c they booed
( and we a border town ...so there the whole cross border thing)
i minded the booing, not the cheering so much... glad her base applauded her, LOL
need to be good sports...
the community it in..is virtually tax free ( local level)
indeed, leeanne
yeah, but I think the booing is normal for the folks a the losing candidates concession
we arent getting full-on casinos... they are just gonna allow certain places to get licenses to have slot machines... there wasnt a whole lotta detail on the ballot, but i think theyre gonna have them in bars + such...
yea...the booing normal..they emotional..and just voicing their emotions... mc cain handled it well
tr 5, 10 clue please ... the second one ... ty
and we have slots too...but they ONLY at the horse race track..no where else
there used to be slot casinos in Southern MD back in the day.
tr + you're walking a fine l***
tr5 - 3 + 1/2 a goose
there..finished the grid....whew....can have a slice of cheesecake now
I felt very bad for a friend of mine, who was in PA all day yesterday trying to get out the vote for McCain... losing cause, but she's such a good-hearted person and really believed in her cause, so I just felt sorry for her
we have slots everywhere.
wtg carlee!
*calculating... if i go to bed at 7, what ungodly hour will i wake up?*
about...2 or 3
10 am?
LOL, kje!
thanks nrk
congrats, carlee!
no reason to feel sorry nrkii... she was practicing democracy and should feel good about that
you know, nrk, I am glad she had her day!
thanks dc
i personally voted against it...but hopefully they handle it sensibly + bring in the revenue they are hoping to get from them. im not totally opposed to the idea, just concerned that the implementation wont be handled well...
woohoo carlee!!! (sorry, was calculating)
i agree, kje, it was wonderful how many people were involved this election cycle
ok..ewll..am off... cheesecake time
kje, I think she did feel good in a way
we'll get 'em next time!
yay,. carlee

2 to go here...
ar7 - reciprocal trig function

woohoo mix!!!
done!
weed!!!
The New Colossus by Emma Lazarus Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land, Here at our sea-washed sunset-gate shall stand A mighty Woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprison'd lightning, and Her name, Mother of Exiles. From Her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; Her mild eyes command The air-bridg'd harbor that twin cities frame. "Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries She. "Give Me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore; Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to Me; I lift My lamp beside the golden door!"
dcs,(and all, LOL), I have to say, I was so dejected by the referenda....
kje--reciprocal trig???? dumb it down for those of us who never got beyond geometry, please.... 8-)
help me find words
thanks, dcs... .LOVE that
to which referenda do you refer, pam?
anywho, gonna creep into the bathtub before chris thinks to jump into the shower...

LOL... I took science through physics, but math only through geometry... trig and calculus never crossed these eyes..except when reading physics!
YAYAYAY, Merk!

seain from a "distance" your icon looks like a bandana
Hmm, ra7 please?
kje, i see your old icon, the coffee cup, and all i think of is packrat!

i should update my icon, but yes, it does
i saw the new one, and read it

as5? anyone?
woohoo merk!!! (late again, oops)
Dang, dont have that ra5.
how about the cr6/21, first one?
All my ra's are pluralised.
as + girls name... *** and the king
as5 is a yoga pose

ra5 is similar to the time piece
sa7, think tree sa*, chicken, vowel
ra5-rhymes with what a chicken does
monkey... think leg vein that is stripped for bypass grafts
ok, ewweww and owie kje!
anyone have the cr6?
i'm surprised how much traffic goes through the intersection of Temporary and North Shore
that doesn't help me, feather... I have never done yoga
TY kajee, that clue did it
For my mom they used one from the upper leg.
cr6 - plural of verb for 'crazy'
yw monkey... knew you would get the reference
but, kje.... I did get the as5 from your clue that I missed until now... ty
cr6, like the other cr6.
cr6 like the fold in your pants leg, minus the first vowel
ok lady....as + b***na sundae
ahhh, ty
yes, mad... the sa7

Trying to make it to 10pm EST, kje
yeah pam, i went to bed around 12:30, only to have daniel start waking up around 2 with an earache! by 5am, i went over to his bed. he was literally screaming every 10 or 15 minutes.
Oh no Feather
ummm, not gonna happen here... i'll be in bed by 8 i suspect
oooh, pizza done. bbs
Ouch, feather!
OH, feather... that stinks......
enjoy dc
JUST found the monkey word....
so4/5 combo, second year people in high school or college
I think your 8 is my 10, kje.....
yeah, the ped said it was near to rupturing. he took an almost 4 hour nap this afternoon! on top of falling asleep on the couch for an hour this morning.
it's 8 here now kagee
my 8 is your 9
but really 10 is 10 in your own time...
OH, that is so painful, feather been there....
last two se5/10s? please let them not be fish
Oh, I really have no clue about the time zones... I know that it's my time, but still....
but you slept last night lexi... so you can stay up a bit
yes - well - I turned out my light at 11
i used to get ear infections a lot as a kid, so i know what he felt. he was velcroed to me all morning, poor boy. this is only his second or third one though, thankfully.
last se5 - you have 5 of these... taste, smell...
change the last vowel for the other 5
got em both
before you clued the top one
computer testing all week for those who didn't pass in 8th grade or any other up until grad
that's good, feather. I got them as a kid and get them as a freakin' adult!
and ty! needed your help for the first one
suuuuure feather... OK
testing what
yeah, i've had them occasionally as an adult too. i also think i "almost" get them a lot. i mean, when you have a cold/congestion, and your ears are plugged, it really shouldn't hurt to bend over to pick up a paper, right? or feel like your brain just did a flip?
for computer competency - graduation requirement here in NC
that would be the story of my sinuses, adn eustachian dysfunction, feather.....
yes, that is normal with congestion feather... not equal to an infection
sitting still so long watching them test (I am reading) does make me sleepy
computer competency? really? wowow....
interesting lexi... didn't know that, but good idea
ok, well that's good at least!
See Pam, NC is no longer so backwards. :)lol
My mother in law (lives with us - 83) was diagnosed with pneumonia yesterday
nope... it went blue
I know mine is infected when the pain, pain, pain and weird discharge, and well more pain...
pain in the butt kje
LOL, red
i so wanted "snirt" to work.....
sorry to hear that lexi
Oh, lex, I hope it was caught early
NC has more "standardized" tests than any other state
FIRWWORKS!!!!!
yippee!
whoot! down to 11!
yay monkey!
yes - I think so - they said ANY worse and she would be in the hospital
Yay, lik
*lil
yay lil*monkey!!
6 left!
feather is in a snirt... b/c she was up all night with daniel... snirts make her do mean things... like stealing lightbulbs from little boys
she is better off at home...
so I am feeding her - she said nothing tasted good and she lost 10 pounds - now at 113
flashlights you ninny, flashlights.... er, i mean, I DO NOT!
LOLOLOL, kjw
oh yes... flashlight - rofl
pneumonia is hard at any age...
I hope she gets better Lexlee soon.
although, i have been known to take his lamp out of the room too, when the little wisenhammer just flicks the switch on if i take the flashlight....
I know - watching her closely - I woke her up on Monday - she was hot and told me about a dream of Egyptians and geneology etc....
just make sure she drinks a lot, lexi... her appetite will return as she feels better... and also, make sure you give her calorie dense foods... if she has no appetite, she will not eat much, so you want what she does eat to be high in calories... like high fat
can you say FEVER DREAM???
Her DR told her 4 of her water bottles - she said NO
he said 3 - she said NO
soups thicken nicely with cream, grated cheese, etc.... and apple juice is easier than oj....
so....he said Hospital???
well, she needs to drink or the dehydration will really be a fever dream.....
you say... you can drink it here... or we can take you tothe hospital and stick an IV in you....
sounds like a good doc 8-)
yesterday - I made her fried Spam and potatoes and pineapple sherbet
exactly lex
argh, ok, i give up, sn5/12 please
skip the sherbert... give her that ultra deluxe triple fat ice cream... all that good stuff we can't have - LOL
today - Butternut Squash soup and pineapple
but fried spam... now that is calorie dense
sherbet - her favorite - I also got her Ensure for when I am not home
add more calories, lex....
LOL...spam, spam, spam.....
s + ne4
sherbet? add whipped cream--not cool whip
1st pa5?
thanks, kje
add cram or cheese to the soup
she only eats a spoonful at a time anyway....I'll keep trying
well that's a dumb word. ty.
I wish I could eat like her,
can i call you spam, then?
cram?
oooh cream
that is why you want that spoon to contain 100 calories... not 10...
what about milkshakes? or is ensure like that?
3
crammed spam
I had a HORRID pneumonia as a teenager... lost 35 pounds in 5 days.... was sick, sick, sick.... 105 fever for a day, etc....
1
only ensure if it is double calorie ensure
5 left here, not really racing, but now i decided i want to beat lady!
yes, kje, a few of my friends do call me spam....
ensure has nutrients and is a milkshake like substance
won't happen feather
lol, feather... no-one ever wants to beat me!
but you need the enriched one for her, lex
3 left
Ensure is supplementary for people who are not getting enough on their own
I don't think people--not kje, red and other medical professionals--realize what a pneumonia does....
uno
I got that one
go lady go!!!
FIREWORDS
yay, natt!!!!!!
woohoo lady!!!!!!!
argh! i typed done at the same time, but using the add word box in expert, lol, so it didn't show!
steven FOrbes is a bit amusing, more so than they type I would have thought.
I feel so SATISFIED :D
she asked the Doctor - "I never go anywhere - how did I get this?"
then had to deal with the non-video window popping out
but seriously, lexi... if you are going to fight with her over something, make sure she gets enough fluid... her appetite will return when she feels better
excuses excuses excuses...
me too..... I was worried there.... I did the whole f*i*r*e*w*o*r*k*s thing and forgot to press control before enter.
but woohoo anyway!!! : )
I will explain it when she is more coherent - less egyptians around
LOL, feather
you probably did beat me by a second, because when i hit enter on my done, i saw yours
yay feather! HIGH 5!
I will kje - she is trying harder - she said she stayed up and napped and drank all night
yay Lady and Feather
who has egyptians around? I missed that conv
great, lex!
lexi's grandma is walking like an egyptian
in her dreams anyway
I sang that to her!
walk like an egyptian......
king tut....
speaking of egyptians, kje, i have two architects made in packrat!
LOL lexi
oh dear.
OK, I am so punchy....
had a condo made of stona
don't wanna hear it feather!!! unless you are sharing
okay... 2 minutes more, then I have to go do all the stuff I have to go do ...

OK, I must go to sleep. I have to get up early and do rounds at the children's hospital---4 kids to see.
Pam I believe in human rights. if there was a vote that said NO to a black person Marrying a white person there would be a sht fit and a half. it seems ok to do what we wouldn't do to others to do it to people that are the way they are for what ever reason
herin... i looked back at that wine... i paid $22/bottle
sleep well scrab... i am in the hospital now too... doing consults
ciao, scrabs...... sleep well
And, thanks, herin.....
It is good for you to be taking a break, kje.
lady, up until 1968, whites could not marry non-whites in 31 states. though i don' think the antimiscenegation laws were ever put to a popular vote.
So, kje, will you sleep in a call room, kje?
wow Kje. we get ripped off
no no no... consults during the DAY... any emergent night issues is what residents are for
there is a discount by the case, herin

Pam my best friend (gay) died 2 years ago at the age of 29 he had 2 colours that he wanted at his wedding Blue and yellow if he ever found the partner of his dreams. His family said that those colours where is favourite and they ignored everything about him from when he was 18. Thus this issue is important to me as a supporter of human rights.

Thank you that is the one. that was driving me nuts.
Chris stood in the street listening to both speeches over loudspeakers, what a blast and though the result is fantastic, i have to say mcains speech was that of a true gentleman
beautiful things herin... btw, are you familiar with barenecessities.com? nice lingerie at discount

yes, mccains concession was beautiful, and in line with my image of him
Looking now and book marking that
sp6 - what you may do to your ankle if you twist it
sp5 - jack sp5 could eat no fat
I never hadanything against mccain, didn't like his policies necessarily, it was palin i couldn'r stand

my daughter has it on her leg
there are cremes that the better drug stores carry, leeane, many athlete's foot products work for ringworm
that's what I thought I read - thanks for the second opinion

the OTC strength is not the same as Rx strength, but may work if the case isn't really bad
I may send her to the college clinic

probably OK with the OTC antifungals...
okay - I can send some if her boyfriend goes down there

I am LDS
yes, phan
cool, leeanne. i have a lot of friends who are.
p + 3 vowels + small hump ltr
we are cool!
sorry your friend was hurt/disullusioned or whatever
me too, but she's doing as her mind, heart, and conscious dictate, so i support her in her decision.
omg, this grid
what do you need, Green?
4 left, all s' words, all 5 letters, all annoying
i didn't think the LDS church let people just resign?
Thank you phanmd.
sn5 ?
you have to write a formal letter - then they take you off the church records - it can be that simple
the RC church does not acknowledge resignations. The LDS do, as far as i know.
sn 5/12 = add a silent vowel in the middle of the 4/5 above it
sn + plus a mixed up gorill
gorilla
yeah, she figures she may need to call central records in Salt Lake to be removed, but a letter is all it takes.
heya, ruru
hi DC...
mmm. the couple people i know who've tried to leave kept getting called and mailed trying to convince them to come back. said it was worse than email spam.
oh, bbs, gotta check on something I was cooking.
Yes - then her Bishop will probably come and talk with her to see if they can fix whatever happened but if not - they will remove her from the records
omg, got the sn - tx!
... 3
if she calls that is what they will tell her
1st NA5, pls
sounds simple enough, i hope it goes well for her.
my parents are working in the records archive right now
na + mixed up oxegen

Hi TO!
indeed, lady, though the number of things missing, not to mention the money, and lack of a will reading all are very suspiscous, and younger uncle's children are suing him for his role as executor of their mother's estate - he is their stepfather
younger uncle is a liar and a cheat at best
well this is nice, home from work early, grid done ane even time for a nana nap
rest well, andree
congrats, andree
is he related to my ex husbands younger brother, lol
I remember reading someone did their Will that if anyone contested everyone would get $1 and the rest would go to charity

this is very much not that case, lady
Yah ANdree and well done. Jes how is my favourite fur beasts going??

hmmm...not off the top of my head, kje, it's been awhile since I've seen it...
Um not sure. I don't have a dog just a mental cat. But it is a brilliant idea to stop a dog being bored. YOu VW

ROFL !
OH KJE by the way the kitty also likes to be dried off with the hair drier

aaahhhh poor fixed kitty... so confused
pini... will get you a clip
yes.,that or she lost us.

Nope. Just a special puppy
hey, peeps
hi tyger
hey, kje
Hi Tyger
Oh, kje...you are too funny!!!!
hey, herin
I'm not here for long. I finally finished the grid, but I've been nodding all the way thru. I had a busy afternoon, and had to do my grocery shopping alone - son hasn't been feeling well - so I'm exhausted
"Tarantara Tarantara Tarantara..."
what's pini geeked about?
wtg tyger!
Tyger, kje, keeps hearing my name in the song from Pirates of Penzance...
thx, pini. I'd done 80 in the wee hours, and I didn't want to waste that effort
really? uh, how?
is Feniculi, Fenicula in there??
"Tarantara" sounds like "Pinikula" if you're not paying attention! ;)
not that knowledgeable about Gilbert & Sullivan
oh, okay. if you/she say so :)
Here's the link she gave me: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=iAc5Z89S jH8&feature=related
pini... here is the best song though... kevin kline in his prime doing some damn hard dancing toward the end... he is pretty hot - LOL
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdJg6Du zzf4
I just took a pick of my kitty sitting on a charge cord with the tittle plug in to charge
don't think I've got what it takes to watch anything. I want my beeeed, and my pillooow :groan:
feniculi fenicula is another good one tyger!
OMG, herin
LOL herin
Italian, isn't it? as I said, I'm so sleepy I'm dopey
cueing to listen, kje! ;)
post it, herin!, oh, sorry, hi all
well she sat on it
I wanna see the plugged in kitty, too!
hey, shady
ok give me a sec
this is a looker, pini... not a listener... those deep lunges kevin kline does at the end are fantastic
hi tyger, just walked in on that
takes a lot of strength
ok!
oh, shady, what a groaner of an icon :P :D
that is a funny icon shady!!!
I mean, using a simple right triangle ..... :D
sorry, tyger, too lazy to change it, it went with a theme in maybe june or so
oh they're deep alright!
makes me laugh, too, kje
it's funny, unless a student is turning it in on a quiz
i fell in love with kevin kline in that movie pini - LOL
supposedly that was the source, tyger, but off the web....
even then it would be funny tyger... you'd have to flunk them, but you'd lauh while doing it
as a teacher, i certainly got the humor
yep shdy
tis a great icon!
many thanks pini!
as one who loved math as a teen - probably would have majored in it, if I'd been able to go to college right out of HS
never too late tyger!
I work at a uni and most of the students I work with probably would have just skipped it since they're all writers.
it reminds me of the humor of a guy who picked on me all through school - from like 1st grade
nope, shady. I had real trouble grokking calc when I finally got to college, but I'd had TWO closed head injuries in the interim
I never cleared my incomplete on differentials
Ok they are up via my icon
eek, both for the mean guy and the closed head injuries, has this week been better? (not trying to minimize)
too cute, herin
SHe does try and aim for a daily cute quota
I need 4 to finish, please, fe4-8; ep4-6; cr6-21 the 2nd and es4-4. Thanks
not really, shady. stressful, but hopefully over
those were great, kje...thx for sharing them with me! ;)
fe4/8: a sound of disgust
fe4/8 = fe + abbrev after elementary school
good, tyger, I guess i was thinking of my life, didn't make it to college right away
ep4/6: ep + exclamation of humor
ep4/6 = ep + 1/2 a laugh
cr6/21 = alt spelling of bad situation
cr6/21: c + when you use the other end of the pencil (minus the initial letter)
es4/4 = pl the phonetic spelling of the curvy letter
ok, just popped in to say hi, will let you all get back to the grid - it was very nice to see all of you (and the kitty)
es4/4: many of the plural letter
night shdy
actually, the 2nd cr6/21 is the plural of a bad situation (darn those Latin plurals) :P
nite, shady
well, peeps. the bed is calling me so loudly I'm surprised all of you can't hear it. nytol
right 3rd times a charm
