wow, birdeee -- good for him!
nan, is that followed by an or8?
or6 x 2
yes, pav
He was an English major for undergrad and so had to take the prereqs & MCAT etc - it was a lot of work and devotion. Good for our kids to see you can work hard - even when a geezer
according to them
50 a geezer? No way!
ditto, jilli!
crashing -- see you tomorrow
just according to them, although he mostly goes to school with folks in their early/mid twenties

hubby - click on my icon - first year med student at 50
I think that's great!
it is great and an interesting journey
think of the life lessons he has over the young ones
super family btw
it makes some things easier and some things harder - we are really glad that we have raised our kids already and are not doing that simultaneously
must have been nice to get together like that
It was a great trip - we took two weeks
I wish you both all the luck in the world
thanks - it is just the beginning, I am sure you will hear more about it along the way
before you know it he'll be graduating
and applying for a residency ;)
sc6 x 4
we just have to remember to have fun along the way too!
and we're never too old to learn! here's my icon update!
that's right and he'll already look experienced so he'll be turning the patients away
there will always be babble
tee hee - we will see!

oh pav sorry but I agree with you 100%

if you had asked me a year ago if i relished turning 40 i would have said no way but now im relishing it
i turned 40 two weeks after my hubby was involved in a sniper incident at his work (he's a police) and another officer died. 40 meant nothing other than i was glad to be alive and glad he was alive!

hi Jill, yogo, diem, mrp, west.

We got another 2-3 inches of snow today. Finally had our family Christmas dinner that we have postponed twice
(long drive to mom's, long drive home at 40kmh)
does anyone have it
please
autumn, this weather is ridiculous! Anyway, it's supposed to rain tomorrow and the next day and the next day...
where is mom's, autumn?
yeah. Are we having a troll problem?
yep
please talk to me
stopped here about 2hrs ago got about the same my light up deer are buried AGAIN
Jill, only Burnaby - but in this weather, it may as well be in the Okanagan....
yogo..thers a cetain etiquette here..
pl come to play and chat...
LOL, autumn!
what rolin
some ppol who come into the chat window only asking for clues...can be considered a bit leechy...and therefore a lot of ppl tend to avoid pleading
There must have been 4-5 inches in New West.
esp when if comes to the big words which most ppl like to have a fair crack at looking for themselves before asking for help..
hi rolin :)
yowser!
hey mrp
ok i can give clues too
but i only have 28 words
rolin, no feeding please
about the same in N Delta
whats feeding
is this snow you are talking of??
cool.. thats cos youre new... but being new you can also take the view that you need to practice the game..learn to find stuff yourself..and be realistic that theyre not gonna be the big words right away
yes, mrp
please, rolin!
okay, it's well past bedtime for me. *shipping snow off to MrP*
oh thanks moon! it is way hot here!
hey jilli...how do you tell the diff between a troll and a person who just doesnt know how a community works?..and therefore makes mistakes in etiquette?
ni-night autumn!
because the troll keeps coming back and playing different games
night autumn
by previous behaviour
id like to try to tell them how things work..then if they choose to ignore the advise..ill ignore too
you'll see soon enough rolin
ok..well ive not seen yogo before...
we've been through that
well, group hug then
yogo was 9 years old the other night.
and now i will stop and go back to the grid =)

acred
oops--my bad.. sorry
Yeah..got the ac 8 !!
good morning all
hi there sprite...quiet board at the moment
in between shifts maybe, lol. Hi nmyb, is it a good grid today?
Hi very briefly! Yes, there was a troll... people ar ebeing cautious.
the yogo troll again?
Yup.
yep
managed to use up my patience in one single day. Ignore it to dust, I'd say.
I had not seen him/her trolling and mistook him/her for just a newbie but I decided to lurk and see... and I saw.
but he is only 9 yrs old, right? hasn't learned netiquette yet I assume
well, that is what she claims, and it might be true. But which 9 yo can be online practically all day?
love the grid..lots of words but they are real which is nice sometimes
9 going on 30 going by yesterday
Might actually be 9. Fair enough. BUt what I have heard is that netiquette has been repeatedly explained and it didn't help. That spells troll at any age.
and we have had a couple of very young players that were just young, but no trolls and no pain in the butt. This one keeps going and then starts whining when all are fed up with it. We have tried to be nice, believe me.
diem, you got it :d
oeps, that was a :D
Yeah, there's that one I haven't seen in a long time, now that you mention it-- lots of vowels... was a nice kid.
We even had an incredibly smart chinese or tai girl, Mizu... can't remember exactly, but she was great to have around.
well anyway, enough about the troll :) Let's ignore it and talk about other things. How are you all doing?
Back's not so hot right now but further good... trying to finalize my half-hour presentation for school.
Sprite whats your weather like? you get a white x mas
OH, Walter's been shortlisted for an NCRV promo spot, did I tell you? We find out in the coming days if he's in!
your back is taking the strain of finishing school, MonkeyG! Not fun at all. Try and be as good for yourself as you can be?
Will do my best, Sprite.... thanks for your kind thoughts, as always!
we didn't get a white Xmas, but at least it was freezing. Back to cloudy and a little above zero temp now, but they expect more freezing.
no you didn't tell, MonkeyG! That sounds like a lot of fun for him!
That's the plan. If he likes it we'll do more.
The agent called me about availability and then sent his headshots.
Phantom: lithium
i am fed up putting trojan in
OK, going to stop for now with 94 left and get on with housework then dive back in on that presentation. Have fun all, back for breaks!
*giggles* Poor diem. It IS phantom city today, isn't it.
take care, MonkeyG, and cuddle your little monkey from us.
for sure
Will do! *poof*
lol Tanith Lee is almost in the grid today. She would be if she were Tanith Lea
HI
hi lady
aw such a cute icon, lady
this is the first time i have actually spoken more than ''im lurking tonight''
sprite its 2.30am here going to eat AGAIN then bed hi and bye Herin
sleep well diem
Night Diem
Sprite how are you?
in a lot of pain atm, not exactly sure what triggered it. Maybe just the december stress. Otherwise reasonably well, not even too down. How are you?
OH Hugs.
I am working on my house and using feathers flylady thingie
thanks :) Nothing life threatening anyway, just pain.
lol I can picture you with that
I need to sort out my poor brain
lots of things on your mind?
I just want to try and go forward this year. Baby steps
baby steps are the best way to go, so you will get there, lady. In time.
I will.
yep
sorry..had to step away to make some dessert for the boys..now that they are happy...I can babble in peace..
hi nmyb
hi lady..love your icon (kewl)
Thanks. I am glad SPrite that your machine has arrived
lol nmyb, sounds familiar! How old are your boys?
so am I, lady. Trying to catch up with the laundry now. It goes amazingly well with that huge thing.
mmm dessert. I just made a tim tam choc soy milk desserrt
12 & 13 this month but they are real sweet to me but one has a BIG appetite
I love tim tams what kind of dessert is it, lady?
I made a traditional Japanese dessert which I haven't made in ages..they saw it on TV and wanted it
good morning everybody. sprite, congratulations on your new washing machine - such a wonderful thing (i go to the laundrette -boo).
mine are 12 and 11 next month. Also sweet most of the time. Eldest is a son and eats all day through. Daughter is starting to eat more now, and to grow of course.
hi mab, we don't have laundrettes here. Some of the really big cities have a few, but that is all.
Tim Tams are Aussie biscuits. Chocolate with choc stuff in it.
NMYB what dessert?
hey almost the same but both are boys and it's the eldest that likes to eat. thankfully he is tall so can pack it away somewhere
the dessert you made from the tim tams, lady!
while they grow, they seem to burn it up faster than they can eat it, lol. My son is a muscled na4 atm, no fat anywhere.
I think here tim tams are litte matzah crackers...
no
the Japanese dessert is rice flour-based balls boiled till fluffy, rinsed in cold water then add sweet red bean paste, canned fruit & some powder made from nuts
mmm Yummy
oh that sounds lovely, nmyb
No Mab they are not crackers
I suppose I am lucky to have laundrettes nearby, even though most apartment buildings have laundry rooms, and i rather don't like going out to do laundry.
beats junk food and packaged cakes/cookies which we've eaten too much of over the holidays
We don't eat a lot of junk in this house
sounds tasty nmyb and not laden with lots of butter, etc.
These are timtams http://tinyurl.com/59llkb
mab, I can imagine that. Wouldn't like going out to do my laundry either! The idea of having a laundry room in an apartment building is strange to the netherlands, I learned about that through movies, lol.
We got swamped with Chocolate this year
2 nites ago we made apple brown betty with oatmeal-based topping (yum) in a lasagne sized glass pan & it was gone by morning (sigh)
what dessert did you make herin, with your biscuits? you are so clever with desserts.
me too, lady...we have tim tams here in Japan and I would love to make something with them
wow that almost got me drooling, nmyb. I love apple desserts.
I just through in 3 of the biscuits into a blender with 16 oz of choc soy milk
I love Japan
apples, peaches, raisins, dried apricots with cinnamon topped with oatmeal, butter & brown sugar topping (very American)
mab I love your boombox!
I do love my boombox
we made chocolate pancakes the other day with m and m''s peanuts
how did you do that? Also in the blender??
my fav dessert is carrot cake with grated zuccini & walnuts
where is andree today? She is in the grid.
No we cheated. We got a shake and go pancake thingy
oh ok :)
I had this brain idea that m and m peanuts would work. it kind of didn't
at least you tried!Q
I tried m&m in Xmas cookies and they exploded !
minus that weird Q that jumped in entirely by itself
they do that
Hi herin, sprite, nmyb. Why on earth isn't a squirrel's home, a drey, allowed in the grid? Doesn't make sense!
Its the shells. You can do it with the minis
hi hydra! Enable doesn't make sense, that's why.
Grrrrrr!
Hi Hydra because even Dr G thinks they should not be allowed
I think Babble needs to add another dict. for a better balance
Is it cold in Holland today, sprite? Do the canals ever freeze?
*giggles*
they sure do, hydra, they did last week. Back to water right now, but they expect more freezing days and nights.
Maybe they're not called dreys in the US. Anybody know?
I've never heard it, but I'm going to check.
Hi mab!
I don't like squirrels
Yeah I got the as 9..first time for me to get a 9 on my own..
it looks like it is the name for it, hydra, found more references to it.
I like the red ones but not the greys, herin.
hydra: http://tinyurl.com/7xzajq
the one dictionary I checked says that the word is used in britain and australia. I think we say 'nest.'
yes, the other reference is nest indeed.
I had my thumb nearly amputated by a grey squirrel that got tame so I was feeding it with peanuts in the garden. For weeks afterwards I was praying I didn't develop rabies!
as in 'your hair looks like a squirrel's nest'
eh yes, thanks mab. I just got out of bed.
must have been quite a sc5 :(
Thanks, sprite.
that is why squireels are evil.
but you carry it off so well sprite. I think it's quite elegant on you.
brb
And an sc4,5!
grin, nice catch, mab
(whew, hope she bought that)
oh I bet! Nasty teeth, those cute-looking devils.
:D
this grid is not coming easy to me at all
Nor to me, sprite
crimson caudal appendage in the grid
hi BabbleRabble, so good to see you.
hello, sprite
I love the elegant clue BR
Hi all. Just come on, read back in the chat a bit. Haven't been chatting over last few days, cos a bit of Real Life has made me busy. Anyway, Happy New Year belatedly to everyone.
Morning Sally
hi Sally, best of wishes to you and yours!
And hi to you, BabRab
Hello, Sally
happy new year Sally. hope all is ok now.
Hello, hydra
thanks for that clue
was it Good Real Life, Sally, or the other kind?
Hiya. Well, husband has been diagnosed with angina and has to have various more tests, possibly stents put in or even heart bypass.
Oh dear. I'm sorry to hear that, Sally. Hope he'll be Ok.
definitely the other kind. Rather frightening, such things. How is he feeling now? And how are you?
He's a bit shaken by the news. I'm fine! Hopefully all will be well and he'll be right as rain.
that's worrisome. I'm sorry to hear that.
Luckily I have Babble to take my mind off things :-)
will think of you both. May all be well soon!
Thanks sprite. You all feel like my friends already!
{{{HUGS}}} Sally - there's so many advances in this area of medicine, which can be comforting. My father suffered from the same, but back in the '60s when so much was still in experimental stages.
I know that those procedures are absolutely routine these days. I hope all will go well.
yesterday's lizard is back.
You're all so kind. Tony's father died at 60 with same thing, but these modern techniques weren't around then.
Why can't I have tandor? Grumble, grumble.
only 355 days until christmas
my 83-year-old father had his second by-pass surgery last summer. the first was at least twenty-five years ago. He was playing golf in two weeks.
BabbleRabble, usually I really like you. But right now...
I'll tell him about the golf. He can't play now, so that would be a miracle indeed :-)
phantom: Walpurgisnacht
arrrrggghhh!
roflol Sally :) But it is true, nowadays people feel so much better shortly after the surgery.
my sister's fil had his ten years ago and he's in his 80s now
does anyone have the first ai 4/4?
Oh, yes, I know. It's just that the heart is such an emotive thing, isn't it. Not like a broken arm or something.
my father is an evil old man, which no doubt makes him a survivor. he is courting his third wife now. he out-lived the two previous.
add an abbr for a nurse
I have one, not sure it is the first. Kinda rhymes with the word for afraid that is also in the grid, sc5.
nope, wasn't the first, ignore my clue
or, put a c in front for a rock pile
IT sounds like a Grecian u--
thanks BabbleRabble
hi again
ty!
wb ladyh
hello, herin
hi bab rAb
it is, Sally. Heart problems are very upsetting.
thanks babs you just reminded me to look at something
GM all...:)
Hi Chick

heya chickie
Good. Babs. Hot cross buns are in the store already
I am good
yo sprite! Me to Lady...:)
re7 please
why can't I use tandori it's a kind of chicken dish?
its doori not dori

HI Emi

TY mab
oops
Chick how is your chickens?
halfway with a lot of searching. Cannot even hope for a second wind, because I never got a first.
brb
thieeer still clucking Lady! I get about two dozen eggs every other day and I have 7 coustmers so it keeps me busy.
Sprite I have 77 left im still staring
wow my e must have stucked!!!
what kind of chickens?
leghorns and araconnnas!
nice!
HI JJ
does anyone have the re7? Does anyone need any clues for any of the other words?
Hi herin!
good big eggs!
yumm. Looking for the RE 7
re 7 == color and caudal appendage
RE 7 sounds like the bottom of a Bright Robin
yea! thanks :)
I have a young rooster <7 months old> that just found out he can crow and he dose it every hour on the hour,silly bird :)
got it! Thanks all
sounds like a neck ringing time
silly rooster - how are they with the cold weather?
no no no he will produce nice babbies then I will do away with some of the older hens<Dinner>!
ok. I have a real issue with chicken
Eating them or in general herin?
They are fine I keep them in the barn this time of year.
that would be hard for me
foghorn leghorn is one to learn from
you don't name them and then you cant eat them
back
hi sprite
How come lady? Some of mine jump up on my arm to say hello when I go out to feed them. Some of them have names. Your right bab!
chickens are funny
Chickens are great!
they are dumb but you'll never go hungery as long as you have them! Fresh eggs and meat at all times.
One of mine has just come into lay, and thinks I'm a rooster so she bobs down when I bend over her. I stroke her and she's happy. No doubt she thinks, cor, sex is quite easy really. Not what my mum said :-)
I don't think i could eat them if i raised them
at our old house a neighbor's hen used to come visit in our yard - she was a daring gal with our dog!
roflol Sally
rofl!
How many do you have Sally?
same here, herin
Only four. Orpington, Wyandotte, Sussex and Barnevelder.
I could eat the eggs no dramas. I laugh at my mum grumbling about the chickens digging up their garden
the last one being a dutch chicken breed :)
I never thought I could either but you find out differently.
Yes, very pretty and shortly to come into lay I think. Will lay dark brown eggs (or else!).
I think I could if my kids were hungry.
To be honest, I could eat them, but think I personally would have trouble killing them. Wouldn't want to hurt them.
wow the biggies are weird words today
I have 16 hens and 2 roosters. My areaconnas lay green,blue and pink <easter>eggs. One hen lays white and the rest lay brown. I can't kill them I have a friend that does that for me.
they are
how pretty to see all of the colored eggs together (I imagine)
was thinking the very same thing, jjks
OH Green eggs and ham
it really is my buyers like them and they are all the same when you crack them open.
eggs are such beautiful objects, as are egg shaped stones, etc.
lol lady... Dr Seuss! I read that in dutch about a zillion times to my kids. Still love it.
like people, chickie!
The grand kids love the green eggs & ham! I agree mab :)
you bet sprite :-)
How do the chickens lay eggs other than white and brown?
They have paint brushes.
;)
clever birds
isn't that normal for that breed?
Ok i didn't know that
Yes, I am no expert but I believe they are bred for it.
It is in thier geans lady. Yes it is Sprite and they ar a pretty bird!
yea, 100 finally (I'm a slowpoke)
I have to be off, alas. Have fun all, and enjoy your night and/or day :)
NIght SPrite
Your right Sally no paint brushes tee hee!
Bye for now sprite.
bye sprite!
I knew that the paint brush was a joke
see ya sprite!
bye sprite
But i never knew that the coloured eggs exsisted
You knew it was a joke? Surely not?! Shock, horror :-)
they sure do lady I get them every day.
I just had to clarify that
learn something knew every day
It's funny, I've read somewhere that in the UK we prefer brown eggs because we think they are "healthier", but in the USA they prefer white eggs because they think they are "cleaner". Strange.
I like eggs that are free range. From the organic store
yet all the same inside (lol)
Free range definitely tastes better - and with your own, you know they are really really fresh.
If you study about them you find out they are all the same taste and health wise.
Good morning all. Re eggs in the US, it depends on the region. In Vermont brown eggs are the favorite. The explanation I have heard, but don't know re accuracy, is that brown eggs are likely to be local and thus fresher.
GM Eva
We have a neighbor whose hens lay very deep, dark chocolate coloured eggs which are just gorgeous!
i only buy free range - now I'm going to have to fix an egg breakfast with all this talk!
I bet they are
Why should brown eggs be local only in Vermont, Eva?
it is true: I have been in markets that sell brown eggs a few cents less than white.... crazy
They aren't.
morning eva
Ok - just a perception then? Crazy.
Hi Merp
I will proubly have a pouched egg on toast.
I like free range the eggs are fresh and yellow. The cheap sh>> ones are yuk and you wonder if that is how they taste then how are the chickens treated
There are areas of the country more interested in local agriculture, more averse to buying stuff from mega-agricultural concerns than others. Buying and eating local is a pretty big thing here in Vermont
personally, i prefer brown, but i can't say why - i think they are more esthetically pleasing maybe
funny...here brown eggs cost more... another misconception...that they are somehow more natural or healthier
KJEE
hi herin...
My favourite is ''Now with OMEGA 3'' um it already contains it
It does seem to be true around here that the brown eggs are always local, while the white eggs can have been shipped from anywhere, or local.
THe other is Vegeggs. no animal products.Considering its um illegal to feed animal products to chickens
Our local guy sometimes brings these light green eggs into the store, but they don't sell so well....they look a bit alien.
no issue for me really... cuz i hate eggs - LOL... only use them in baking
it is funny they taste the same the color is just color!
LOL eva - green eggs with ham???
yup
ordo
sorry!
Re the green eggs, all you have to say here is "rare breed" and people will buy!
now I am the opposite... if I saw green eggs, blue eggs, polka dot eggs...I would HAVE to buy them, just to see what they were like
I tried the green ones and couldn't tell any difference. They were a bit smaller and pointier.
When I was with my mum and dad they had farm eggs. I have never touched $2 eggs since
how come lady?
The battery farming thing is a big issue in the UK. If you saw the conditions they were kept in, you would not buy the eggs!
thanks for the laugh this morning... this one is a little too big for me today though considering all I have to do, so I will be off... but it is nice to know we in babble are talking about FOOD as usual - LOL
You crack a battery egg its sloppy yellow and gross. Farm egg yellow yellow and so yummy
Yes indeed Kje
a lot of la words today
Same here. Ever since I saw a film of how chickens for places like Perdu are raised in the US I have stopped buying commercial poutry.
yay eva - I'm with you!
One of the reasons I wanted my own chickens, Eva. I so agree.
granted, I can afford the higher prices that ethically raised local farming produces... that is a dilemma for some
your right Sally.My chickens are pampered! I even go to the store and buy them priced reduced veggies!
morning!
Morning red
hiya Red :)
hi red...and bye red.. I will poof
cu kje
a friend and I were talking about what would be the last discretionary items we would cut from our budgets, if things keep going as they are, and we are lucky that there's a lot we could let go of with little difficulty, but being able to buy organic produce and poultry would be a biggy for me.
how is everyone?
bye kje
Good
good red
I will never let go of my organic foods
I agree Eva!
Eva, we are very lucky here that we are near Ludlow which is renowned for local produce and organic shops. It's a foodie place!
And we are lucky as you say that we can afford it.
then there's the whole issue of only buying what can be raised locally, and in Vermont that would mean doing without most fresh veggies and fruits for about 8 months out of the year.
I bet that is awsum Sally :)
It's also much nicer to go into a small shop and get friendly with the owner than into a supermarket.
Although I suppose if we really decided, as a nation or a locality, to do away with long chain distribution, the money could be put into local greenhouses, hydroponic plants, etc
Well if we all went with the seasons and farmed with the seasons there wouldn't be a problem. It seems most of society would like say Leek which is a 3 month vegie 12 months of the year
i love it when we have farmers market season here
we have publix, a very friendly supermarket, with organic sections...and a lovely bakery.
i love locally grown fruits, nuts, veggies, etc.
We are surrounded by Welsh lamb, Hereford beef, orchards, local farms. The butchers have game hanging outside in season, and venison from the local forest.
me too jjks
We have Macro foods and I shop locally at COS too
but not a lot of local meat....unless you count mickey muse and alligator!
Macro whole foods even
Have you eaten alligator? What is it like?
mmmm gator. ye har
In the summer I grow as much as I can! Then I cann it for winter.
i have not chosen to try it.
We had a pet gator loose in NSW last week. How the hell can you lose a gator
red-I couldn't resist. This is a poem I wrote after a shopping expedition, years ago, while visiting my in-laws who lived in Century Village (a retirement community for those who don't know)
not a great pet choice.

sorry-ot printed twice
oh eva! that's just wonderful
That's great Eva - almost surreal. hello all
Sad, Eva - esp the one banana.
Eva, that is hysterical...lucky me, I live in Clermont, so we have a younger than average population!!! but so true.
HI Lynxx
that's great eva!
I guess I dont find it sad, because I see it every day, and the one banana, well, they will come back for the other one the next day.
hi Lynxxx
Eva, my parents used to live in Century Village in Boca Raton and Deerfield Beach
I found that I had to learn to move much more slowly. And the first times I shopped there I didn't understand why I came home with so many bags = but the baggers there are trained, that since they are dealing with so many rather frail people, they have to make the bags very light.
Ah-the upscale version bichon(-:
I am glad not to be working in The Villages anymore, the penultimate of upscale golf carts.
I also didn't find it sad, because shopping becomes a very social activity, a reason to get out of the house, and peopl go every day, as the do in more traditional cultures.
HI Bichion
It wasn't that upscale. They found they outgrew cCentury Village and moved to a more upscale one in Boynton
Hey...I live in the W.P.B. area....work very close to Century Village....
Hi Herin
We should have a FLorida Babblers get together, we can get together and go shopping at Publix. LOL
hi lyn
i'm taking a break - have a lovely day everyone - see you later!
keeping the bags light does little good if all are being carried by one.
My mother never liked the shopping in Florida. They didn't have the same kind of "bargains" they did in the NorthEast. And the matzah prices were out of sight
The one in West Palm could make a fascinating sociological study-because the ethnic make-up has changed so much over it's lifetime, mirroring different immigration patterns, etc.
Don't forget Winn-Dixie red
hi Chick & BabRab
Babble, one o fthe free services at Publix, is the carrying of your bags and putting them in the car, No tipping allowed.
i agree bichon!
But Winn Dixie is sort of "Low Class" LOL.
Ah Eva, but the driving remains the same
babble-they get help putting them in the car and then make many trips carrying them into the house.
Yes, exactly how my mothe felt
Winn Dixie wasn't to bad you just had to really look at what you were buying.
One of the reasons my parents left Century Village is they bought a place on the second floor with their own personal elevator. Pretty fancy
The driving, in this case, was about two blocks. Two rather hair raising blocks when riding with my 94 year old father-in-law.
one of the free services here bagging the groceries yourself ... can tip if you like
I bet it was Eva :)
! I can imagine Eva
The driving in Florida is hair-raising
oh babble these wizened souls cant bag....they are not of sturdy stock.
I give good tips
It was wonderful leaving frozen New England every winter to go and visit them, but that part of Florida is one huge miracle mile, and I think I'd have to have a lobotomy to live there.
We have a chain here called Sav-A-Lot and you bag your own which cuts the cost of the groceries!
i looove it, but not wpb...never been there.
Exactly Eva. Me got my mother to leave Florida for an Assisted Living near us in CT. Then we cleared out her place and sold it.
I really like this area. It just depends on what you get accustomed to I guess
In Oregon I used to belong to a grocery co-op where we bagged our own, it was nice. but not here in Fl. people are old and frail, except inClermont where we are triatheletes. I Love Fl.
very little but one chain store or fast food store after another, all connected by 8 lane roads, with everyone driving huge cars with their windows rolled up
I never liked Fla..
Ahhh. Eva, Clermont is in the middle of the naturla bowls and Orange groves, we actually have hills.
sorry chiley-didn't mean to diss your home town.
Parts of Orlando sure are hideous, however, and now I see exactly why Disney picks people up at the airport. they have no idea...
But this time of year the weather down there is very, very alluring.
No problem. I'm a native of Asheville NC and cannot for the life of me figure out why people like that area so much. I just hate visiting there.
My sister lives in Ocala and loves it because they have a change of seasons unlike the cost.
I love it. SO much I am trying to sell out of NC. And I would agree with you Chiley, Asheville is pretty but I feel its just a bunch of NY transplants pretending to be artsy.
Night all
Interesting. Everyone and their brother seems to be moving to Asheville. We thought of going and looking. What didn't you like about it?
Night herin.
GN lady lol
Goodnight Herinfern.
hugs
Fair -14°F (-26°C) Wind Chill: -36°F (-38°C) quite invigortating
Eva, see below for why i dont like Asheville. Its becomeing very fakey fake. Like NJ in NC.
I was born & reared there. Didn't leave until I was married with children. I enjoy the cultural events in Fl. There just doesn't seem to be anythng to do there.
Eva! Move to Chapel Hill. I have a great Home for sale there, perfect for a couple, lots of cool University events, nice wooded area....warmish.
interesting. very different from how it gets written up. Although I would guess that like many place, once everyone starts heading there, what was attractive changes completely.
In the winter everything is brown and dead. The mountains make me feel closed in. I've gotten used to green grass and flowers year round.
I'll stay in Mich. even though we have snow up yo our A#@# !
we don't really want to move. Just want someplace warm and interesting to be for a few months in the winter and mud season
Perfect, Eva, feel free to purchase my home then, its semi warm in Winter and very interesting....
morning all!
anyone want to house swap and come and ski in Vermont?
i agree with Red, Chapel Hill is a great place
My son lives in Hendersonville and we go visit him, but I'm always SO glad to be heading home.
All on one floor with a great deck.

sorry, smiles... i goofed. Drop the final consonant
i + ***n on Me
Really quite sucky. It seemed a bit better for a while, but... no. Shoulder is out today too. Sigh.
what's the last one?
Did you get my reply e-mail asking about the exercise thing a friend gave me?
Change the end cons on the 5, smiles
yes, MG, sorry I didd not get a chance to answer yet as I was traveling home from my parents house... I don't think the excercise thing looks like a good thing for you right now
got it, thanks, not the traditional spelling
not sure how you could use that equipment for traction... was I not seeing something?
After I get my degree I will be asking for a referral to a rheumatologist about the shoulder. Orthopedist said that's who to see about that.
No, I think it's not appropriate. I'll sell it!
OK! especially if you are having shoulder prob too!
hi all... how is the grid today
as/9 anyone?
hi beach! it's 253 wrods, and some are WACK
Same old thing with the shouoder, intermittent fot years.

Kind of bird, color + appendage they have
Appendage many animals have, not just birds.
Concord NC, just above Charlotte. It is cool and rainy here and everyone is still sleeping. I have a new cup of coffee. I love this time of the day.
me too! When all is quiet...
I dont do the list in alpahbetical order anymore. Too boring.
*thinking of appendages*
still black here! but love this time of day - everyone still sleeping
Most monkeys have them but only Soiuth American monkeys use them to manipulate objects...
OK got it!!!
thanku MG
great clue thanks MG
I don't do alphabetical order either. I just look for words globally.
take out middle consonant for a re6
No prob!
i just find words in spazz fashion
Exactly!
thanks lil
Change first letter of that 6 for a different 6...
MG you're such a clever monkey eee EEEE eee!
Aww, ook ook shucks.

thanks chiley

OK, going to have a look at what I oculd maybe sell the exercise thing for and then wash the monke... err, little boy and then see if I can finish prepping this danged presentation I have to give Thursday-- half an our in Dutch about my proposals for reforming things where I work. Sigh.
Have fun everyone, catch you on my next break!

stuck on CR words
cr5/14 x 2 beliefs
oh just monkeyed the cr7, it is WACK
cr5/12 cr + metal in mine
and i just found a nine!
TY Une, that helped immensely!
hey, hursh!
hey
can't get de5, any clues please?
hursh!
have 2 9's, as9/60 and na9/54
it's the as that i found
missing the first cr6
it was thrilling
de5 incorrect plural of antlered beasts
I still have no idea how to use your clues
yay, hursh!
thanks Une
de5-you're locked up
Une , an9 and na9
yeah, i know, just don't have them :-)
disregard that!
so there are two na9?
no
an + neither/n** + ari**metic + Miller L*** (beer)
no hursh
na9 has an ending like miller ****
have that one
thanks smiles, have that one, de complete now
clue for an9?
yw, flosey
i just did, at 8:28
there isn't an an 9
oh, sorry!
sorry there is
LOL!!!
yes there is
woohoo, three nines for the price of one
need more acoffee
an 9 has the straight up compass direction and the miller **** thingie in it
yes, an9/60
thanks for the an9 :-)
BRB need more cafe latte
a + direction, + don't b*** my head off
cr5/12 cr + metal in mine ?

name that proper noun! the one gift horse that should have been looked in the mouth
CA
ca Une
tx kalllia
and flosey
yw
hursh, your neph is cute
VERY cute! :-)
innee though? :)
yeah, my kid is all growed up
any clues for as 9?
my kids are too but it doesn't make any difference cause they're cats
as9 to determine
as9 to determine by looking into the facts
as + ce7/32
look hard for that as 9, it's easy if you can see it
Babs, as + sure
haha smiles
it's the only one i got without clues
so na9 means it starts with na and then has 9 letters to follow?
ok, thanks! just getting the brain going is slow today!
7 letters to follow, sue
no, 7
9 letters total
9 is the total number of letters
:(
I am so lost
na9 has a total of 9 letters
first two, then the rest make up the rest of the worc
word
don't get discouraged sue, takes a while
but I got a direction with no3
is that the right way to say it
for example, an4/4 which means "against, opposed" has 4 letters and 4 points total
no5, you mean. :)
look at your word list, sue
the direction is no5
if it has 5, it's no5, get it
see how the words have the number of letters and the points to the right of them? that's why we use those.
my neck is getting itchy from this
that's... an unusual reaction
don't worry, sue, you will be a pro in no time
LOL hursh
a more common reaction is your butt going to sleep
so, if I need 3 more E on the top line, how would I ask?
name that proper noun! maker of delicious spherical truffly things

yay, pab!
Mr. Ed?
haha
did you hear the explanation for that expression on NPR?
no, share, Une
ok, down to 93, back later
you look in a horse's mouth to see how old it is by its teeth
if you looked a gift horse in the mouth, you were insulting the giver . . . looking to as******* age and health
if you're buying it
if you looked a gift horse in the mouth, you were insulting the giver . . . looking to as******* age and health
so the seller doesn't cheat you
but if it's a gift, that would be rude
hursh is such a smarty pants! :-)
anyone who's read farmer boy knows this :)
and since i have read it about 20 times...
farmer boy?
smarty pants! smarty pants!
it's the little house book that's about almanzo's childhood
well i have read all the Little House books and I don't remember the gift horse part
name that proper noun...author of espionage thrillers.....and good morning
they didn't mention the gift horse. they just talked about selling a horse and the buyer checking the age by the teeth.
the gift rudeness is a logical inference.
Lacarre
OK gotcha.... when I was a girl and first read those books, it confused me that Almanzo's nickname was "Manly"

plus it depends on the author.ot drives me nuts when i read "he lighted a cigar" or "he dived of the the platform"
Looking for my last word, re 7/32. Stilll have no clue. is the third letter a d or e?
"a myriad of" . . . makes me nuts
d
"he LIT a cigar" and "he DOVE off the platform"
crossy, it drives me nuts when folks say " I had my dog spaded" The verb is spay, past tense is spayed
oh, me too, monkey!!
i agree lil
people say spaded??? whoa.
or when folks say "I need to get orientated" It's oriented
oh, yes indeedy, here in TN for sure!!
hurshy, yes, you must not have ever lived in the southern US
yes, monkey!
thankfully, i have not...
how about "conversated"
"still ongoing" . . . pet peeve
the hill billys up here say it too
it's full of hillbillies
think of the Clampetts

yaa for inge! 21 gun salute for you!
or patients refer to dialysis as DIE AN AL IS
my biggest language usage pet peeve is the two phrase "more unique" [or variations on such]. If something is unique there is nothing more of it
I have a question of the language critic committee: Do you think todays teenagers are better prepared for college than in the 60"s or 80"S
same here, bichon
lol uniquest
oh, it was actually friday, une.. thanks for reminding me... i will switch icons now
nooooooo, inge
oh goodness no, inge
not when it comes to language skills, Inge
HAPPY BELATED BIRFDAY, DORENS!
oh, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO DORENS!!!
which teenagers? the ones who work their asses off at the top magnet and private schools, maybe yes
happy belated birthday wishes to you, dorens
only because of technology inge,but yes they are
happy happy Dorens dear!
true, hursh
they can google the answer to anything
but I've often had to copyedit "copyedited" text!
msot of the teens I know do not know how to spell anything
on PBS last night we saw a discussion pro and con. It boils down to how you interpret the statistics
exactly, cross
they type things like : c u l8r
actually a lot of students don't even know how to use google effectively...
remember wading through piles of dusty ole encyclopedias at the library? omg
i found that very surprising.
that makes me sneeze just thinking about it, crossy
well, texting's a totally different language
thank you all. it was a happy birthday (and since i celebrate for a week to make up for its proximity to christmas, it still is)
wonderful, dorens!
Une, unfortunately for a majority of teens, that is their only language
they don't know how to write like we did at that age though, really, for the most part it is very scary
I don't know how to use google effectively :)
oh, i know
ja 6, clue?
They concluded that scools dont teach "how to research for answers . %yh grade reports are all copied from google
phae, i love your snowflake
ja6 shook
what we did when we made jelly?
thanks Lil...only snow I'll see!
ja6--placed in glass containers
they haven't got much sense of which types of websites are good sources of info and which are not, either.
goggle wil actualy work well with direct questions to your problem phae and remember to put your key words in quotes
what shocks me is how cheating is an OK thing to do . . .
i know I sound like a fuddy duddy
but in college, we signed an honor agreement and stuck to it
70 words left for me... I'm off to power walk now... BBL to conversate wichoo later
I'm old cross...won't remember what you said next time i have to google ;)
thnx
we'll still be ongoing, phae!
they don'e even seem to understand WHAT cheating is
lol une remember what happened if you tried to bring a calculator or slide rule into math class? not its on the kids stock list for start up for the year
ah, slide rules . . . waxing wistful :-)
It's my mothers birthday today, she is 92...I called her and by now she probably doesn''t remember I called.
well phae,just google "how to use goggle" :))
the one and true mark of the nerd
but is she happy phaeton? that is what matters then
2 more pet peeves-- people that say "draw" for drawer and "rine" for ri4/5
happy birthday to your mom, phae :-)
I'll try that cross!
thanks Une
last week was the first time my mom was unable to wish me a happy birthday . . .
I have a friend that says chickmunk for chipmunk
my all time pet peeve is "She come into the room" that drives my crazy
oh une!!! happy birthday from me AND your mom.
as i recall,slide rules were great..once you got used to them
what day was it?
sunday
*me
thanks, dorens . . . Dec. 29
happy birthday to dorens and une!!!
well phae, if it's a girl chipmunk, maybe that's ok :)
Une, A very happy birthday to you!
i have a aprobelm with using "that" instead of "who", as in the girl that walked into the room
I took statistics in college before hand-held calculators. Sheesh
when my daughter used a graphing calculator in high school, it seemed like cheating to me :-)
thanks, annie
i think i will try this taking a break thing... ttfn
later, hursh

Hi all, back from a very bad run. How is everyone?
hi red
hi red
howdy red:) why bad? fell in a river? blew a kneecap? dog chased?
oddly, left knee is hurting, but bad because i am out of shapr...
out of shape? wait untill you have to stop for air while walking from the living room to the kitchen,or when you start sweating while combing yer hair;)
that had better never happen!
anybody miss minver?? She's msising everyone. The internet is down where she is. She should be back tomorrow. This is her sisterinlaw so I get clues from her over the phone. Lucky me
and yer kid has to tie your shoes cause you havent seen your own feet in ten years lol
i'll shave my head first! i wondered where she was!
Hi Epan tell minver we do miss her as we miss all babblers when they arent with us
i am glad she will be back soon.
Good Morning Babble ! May I please have a clue for the Na 9 ?
ooh I got it
hi kristine
clue for the ac8 please? monkeyed every which way.
hi skooj - starts with the first 4 letters of the greek temple + ending for giant stone monumnet
Hi JBV, did you go for your walk yet?
good morning, everyone - just getting started here
Thx, JBV!!! and good morning :)
hi, red, no, but I found my shoes! - it's not too cold, today, very sunny, so I will do it - need to get some words first
Shoes will help. I went running, which was painful.
oh, no, sorry to hear that
ty for that one jbv:))
-18 c here today;(((
just looked up the definition of ac 8 - interesting, new word for me - i just kind of guessed at it
3 F here.
Cross Hair, you and your family are brave souls. It 79 here.
in farenheit.
Skooj is also brave. and you all are crazy for living in that mess.
really 79? are you back in florida, red?
red, i'm jealous
and yes crazy
yes, I Drove back yesterday. Had to change into shorts in Georgia.
I thought 79 was a little weird for NC - what happened with the house?
brb *poof*
Nothing yet. Realtor will have some repairs done it will go officially on market Jan 15 or so, and hopefully it will sell by April. I have the for sale sign because I am grateful that soon I hope it will not be my responsibility.
wishing you good luck with that - let's hope there are a lot of buyers out there, taking advantage of low mortgage rates
She seems to think she can sell it, it is in a massive first time buyer area so, hopefully....I am trying to put it out of my mind.
This seems to be a pretty nice grid today!
i'll reserve judgment, i've only found 107 words so far, would like to get to half
79f...sigh..only way i can get that is if i go snow blind and start hallucinating
you can come visit Cross.
Yo can bring your beloved too.
from -18 to 79f?? id melt would have to bring my speedo collection:)
wow a difference of 65 degrees
you have a collection? I have access to only 2 pools.
and the worst part of those vacations is going back home, I once came back from PR in a blizzard -
JBV, I can t believe you ever left PR to go to a blizzard....
yep, the cab ride from the airport was the worst - slipping and sliding on the NJ turnpike, then of course our driveway had not been cleared so we kind of swam our way up to the door dragging our suitcases behind
Shivers.
Hooray! I am in the puzzle today!
congratuslations Car.
hi, car - and thanks - just looking in that corner gave me two words!
I feel so special!
hey auntie :)
Hey scoop! No church for you today either?

ya shes no fun
No, she is fun...she just wants the absolute best for you!

I had my first cup of coffee when I was err, 20.
yes.
how about hot chocolate? same effect, no coffee.
Oh, so just last week, right Red?
she isint now at least
Scoop, does she let you drink Red Bull?
naaah. I am old now. I mean, I LIVE in Florida.
how old are you sec ? Am I allowed to ask ?
I have many friends, younger than me, that live in Florida Red!
Well, it was sort of a joke.
No, Kristine...age is not a factor here!
red bull, tastes soooo bad.
No it's not a factor , I was just wondering how close in age sec was to my own children and how long it will take for sec to think mom is fun
scoopy, you want to take that one...how long WILL it take you to think that your mom is fun?!??!
I love my Mom, but she has never really been fun since I have been about oh 10 yrs old.
lol i dont think ill ever unless she becomes more like my aunties
how about monster? they have a mocha flavor
auntie rules...mom drools
Well my oldest , 17 , just started to "like" me lol
I like you Kristine!
My 14 year old could care less right now
yep and she doesnt like me even drinking red bull
does D drink coffee or RB?
Oooh! HOw about some Green Tea? Or I can get you the Fizzing Beverage tablets! They are AWESOME and no jitters or crash!
Am I to assume , car , that you know sec , which would explain the overprotective behavior !
I am the awesome Auntie she speaks of!!!!
Figured that !
To be honest, caffiene is not that good for your bones, so your mom is doing the right thing. You only have about 5 years to collect nice dense bones. So...
See! I agree with you red!
errr I meant 35 years.
I am also no fun.
Red, you are here...you are fun!
but I do drink a lot of coffee, and a ton of milk.
the only caffiene i drink is tea... and i'm fine with that. i don't want to have yellow teeth from coffee
dense bones...... thick, ignorant bones are so too cool
I used to drink a lot of coke, but not so much any more.
Absolutely BR! It is good to be dense!
Good for you Madi !!!
BR, I wish mine were a bit thicker.
black hole wannabes
isn't Inate a word?
innate
with a double N yes.
OOOOOOHhhh!
Madi is super healthy.
ya auntie she lets him do ANYTHING he gos 2 bed whenever and when i stay up past 11 she screams at me and then tries 2 ground me
Well, you are a rebel after all...

Ooh! TY BR!

Scoop, you are awesome! you are incredible and are going to be just fine. Trust me though, it is hard being the youngest...and I know!

more well rested yes love ty
OK, off to clean the boys room! BBL!
ty, babrab!
hi, everyone!
MetFan! OMG! Long time no see
And I'm going to try try try and get the last one by myself , but I may be begging soon lol
how'd the shopping spree go?
dcseain!!!! Hi honey!
todayHi DC
hello, lil! ty so much for such a lovely time the other day
hi, met!
hey DC it's been a while!
hny, pug! indeed it has :)
Went good, but one of my Walmart cards was labeled as $25.00 more than it was - how chintzy is that?
na 9 -- add one who lives under a bridge: ***l and the diet food or beverage, like Miller l***
HOW F****** rude!
seain, it was my pleasure and so much fun!
Met, someone gave you a gift card and labeled the amt on it?
But I got SUCH BARGAINS!!!!
metfan, you should ask them to check the receipt
after the holidays everythings on clearance
oh very rude, met. maybe they mixed up the sleeves? oh good, point, lil!
I always let gift card recipients discover how much is on there when they go.
i thought the gift cards had the numbers preprinted on there
Yes, red, it was written by the person that it was worth $75, but it was only $50 !!!
i would let them know, met
OK I GIVE UP May I please have a clue for the Ac 8 ??
false advertising
the store could have screwed that up
most don't hurshy, you tel them how much to put on them, and tehy activate them at the store at time of purchase.
sounds like an ingenious scam for a store...
I'll do that, Monkey - VERY rude.
Nope Hursh, you can get one at wal mart and put whatever you want on it.
hi, all
well, the store wouldn't, but the employee
hi pam
hi, kristine
seain, thanks for putting up our pic! It's so cute!
you regularly do that for all the gift cards and pocket the extra, and most people will just figure their friend messed it up...
Hi Pam
A lot of people use it again until its gone, I got my sister 100.00 for Wal Mart. Sadly she shops a lot there.
Hi, met!
i just had to share :)
Why sadly, Red?
and even if the occasional person complains they probably don't keep track of who sold the gift cards...
They don't give cash back on gift cards
hi again - lots of people here to greet - hello to all!
all the pix came out great, they're on my profile on Facebook
if they do you would have to stop after one catch so it could just look like a mistake.
For that reason Yes Kristine.
Hiya JBV
oh, i'll need to go look :)
hey JBV
this is a brilliant nefarious plot
just reading about your gift card, MetFan - that sounds like a possible scam at time of purchase - very disturbing because how would we know if we are buying the card
It is quite a pain if you dont use the whole thing at once , I went to 4 different stores and had to figure out myself how much was on the card. Just very time consuming !
it's worth it to check on it, Met... you might get another $25 out of it!!!!
It is most likely that the giver either mixed up cards, or switched them by accident, or simply forgot.
May I please have a clue for the Ac 8 ?
Well, you tell them how much to put on the card at time of purchase, but if you're not watching (like I do), they could put ANYTHING on it, and you wouldn't know unless you go over your receipt. I always make sure I get what I pay for when I buy gift cards.
I have not had any problems giving them from Target and Walmart, but maybe the recipients were just too polite.
ac 8 -- add a drum or dinner: ***l and when not alone we are w*** someone
The Visa gift cards I received were pre-printed , but Walmart ones were not !
I agree, Red - she probably mixed them up, and gave someone else my card in error.
I tend to look carefully, too,met....
with the value***
i had a frustrating shopping experience yesterday - had to return a beautiful sweater (size was wrong) and found out my sister spent $100 on it - that's the good part -
caveat emptor
ah, ty, babrab, i had not tried that ending.
I had a debacle of a time with Sears trying to e-gift my nephew. Target was a dream!
but the store was practically out of any merchandise in my style or color, so i ended up getting a cashmere turtleneck on sale for $69 and ended up with about $23 left on the card
TY TY BR ~!~!~!~!~!FIREWORKS!~!~!~!~!~
Yay, kristine!!!!!!
nice , JBV!
Hi pam. you are on early!
congrats, Kristin
wooo hoooooooooo Kristine!
yahooo Kris !!!
but if the individual employee was scamming, they might be able print the amount you paid on the receipt even though they did not give it to you
congrats, kristine!!!
JBV that sounds actually like you got a good deal.
the turtleneck is very nice, but now that $23 dollars will result in my having to go back and of course spend a lot more next time
ty ty time to eat I'M STARVING
that can be frustrating, jbv! Maybe they'll get someting in next season that you like and you'll have found money to spend on it...
of course i spose then they have to give it to you though
what a great deal, jbv!
i thought of that hurshy, we could be partners in crime
i just chowed down on some sausages and poached eggs
Have A GREAT Day Everyone !
So, Pug, dear, have you gone on your spree yet?
couldn't you have just asked for a rain check, jbv, and exchanged the sweater for the right size when they got them back in stock?
ciao, kristine...
ciao POOF
<waiting eagerly for some football...>
hasta, kristine!
no, they are already showing the spring line, hurshy, winter sweaters are gone
me too pam!!!!
I need to motivate to do dishes and change sheets etc.
it was Ann Taylor - they have silk and linens out already
A hungry African lion came across two men. One was sitting under a tree and reading a book; the other was typing away on his typewriter. The lion pounced on the man reading the book and devoured him. Even the king of the jungle knows that readers digest and writers cramp.
i like ann taylor.
LOLOLOLOLOLOL, babbler
ah. *has forgotten what it's like to shop anywhere other than savers*
red, I'm back from my walk - it took about 15 minutes, but I am really out of shape so I only walked around the block once, tomorrow I'll try twice
LOL babrab LOL
Yaaay JBV!
Did Pug go Poof???
I like Miami's coach, but I like the Ravens team.....
sorry Met- had walked away briefly-yes dear all used up & TY VM
Pam is torn.
now I have to go grocery shopping - I count that as exercise too :)
Oooh - whatcha get? Anything good?
mostly practical stuff I needed
I count it, too, jbv, as I schlep the bags on the train...
it will be fun to watch nonetheless, red...
I leave the shopping cart at the head of each aisle, so I can run (walk fast) up and down, rather than inching along with the cart
pam you could be happy about the outcome either way?
3 phone batteries , 4 bottles of vitamins, a "Tweeze" (but I did get a toy too)
don't know, red... possibly, I prefer Baltimore
that is a good idea, jbv.
JBV...so you're the one leaving their cart in the middle blocking the aisle!
I did that, too, but you shoulda gotten something frivolous along with the practical. I did, got an iPod charger so if I run out of juice at ork I can charge up in a wall socket.
i try anything to get out of the store faster, pam -
no, phae, just neatly tucked away :)
Sorry, work
lol, I like it, jbv! I went this morning...
I'm rooting for Balmer in the early game
It surprises me how many carts i see with purses just sitting in them with no one close by
its ok met, since my w is not orking well, I often go to ork.
its ok I did get the toy & the Tweeze just cause I wanted them
that is not part of my strategy, phaeton but I do see that, too
There is a Chess Tournament taking place at a hotel. All the players are in the hotel lobby bragging and arguing that they are the best. After enduring it for some time, the hotel manager orders them all to leave. When asked why, his response is.... (get ready to groan)... I hate Chess Nuts Boasting in an Open Foyer!
what is a tweeze?
Mine's working, just a typo
I see that all of the time... worrisome....
they show them on TV Red
OY, pything!
*python!
Hmmm.
'GROAN'....:)
what about kids left unattended in the seat - trying to stand up, etc.
a little battery operated tweezing device to remove that annoying fine facial fuzz
a fine one, pythonx
Isn't it an electric tweezer that removes unwanted hair?
or the ones pushing the cart, barely able to walk themselves
OK...
instead of plucking hair by hair
Penny got one months ago 7 said its great
our supermarket has a babysitting service with a playroom - lots of moms use it
We're overdue for a phone call, dear, when we speak, I want to hear all about the "toy" you bought.
jbv that is cool...
still in the box
How expensive is it pug?
they have a young teenager in there who minds the children, plays games with them, etc.
is it along the lines of a Steely Dan, pug ???? :0
there was another one I liked more but too expensive for this time
she's certified by our township babysitting course
the Tweeze is about 20$
I have found that a flame-thrower works well on facial hair
Mind out of the gutter, Monkey (I thought the same!!!)
that's a good idea...they have that where my daughter goes to work out...a gym i think
:)
hehe
no dear gutter was correct
I am finding it odd that Pres Bush has not been on camera for quite a long time. I am wondering if something is going on.
BLA-HA-HA!!!!
Sorry off topic.
red, you're scaring me
yes, he's realizing he's the lamest duck in the pond, red
i don't want to think about that
oopsie!
but people are also wondering about Obama not saying anything about Israel
He thinks out of sight...out of mind...not wanting to get blamed for anything happening out there
he was never big on press conferences anyway
Prez Bush has been visiting the Stepford community perhaps ???
Obama did say something about Israel, but not much.
Obama can't really do much till he's in office anyway
Bush zoned out when 9/11 went down!!!
Talk about ineffectual!!!
maybe doesn't want to "tip his hand" too much
I just find his lack of physical photos odd.
yes good point MetFan... he jsut sat there cross-eyed
ti - add Elvis: love me te****, love me dear; add one to make a 7: resembling the ti 6
clue for er5 after the word for the earth wearing away ???
not defending Bush, because personally the thought of the man coming to power scraed the hell out of me in the first place, but knowing the towers could hold 40,000 people, i think any leader would have zoned out, the horror of that moment made us all stop dead
I keep thinking on Jan 20th they will announce that he has absconded to bora bora with laura like in December.
Dear Pug, while we're here, might you plz clue me the ac8 so I can understand it??
a bank er5 in your favor
made a mistake monkey
bush has been vacationing in crawford
why thank you pug!
Fish me!
ac+ **w you boat + agile or ****e
So they say Bab. So they say.
during his reign, bush has spent over 500 days in crawford
alas, the reign of error is soon to be over....
TY, dear.
are you counting weekends?
yw dear
oops, pam - PB!
Someone clued it before, but so obtuse I couldn't make heads or tails of the clue, much less the word.
I know, many clues are hard to decipher
oh, well, worth it, jbv
yes, pam :)
Rhodes scholars would have a time!!!
good luck, everyone - I'm off to the Shoprite - be back later
and helpful for me, i added 2 words.
8-)
BR...didn't understand the adding 1 to the ti6 to make ti7?
add sometimes vowel phae
thankks pug
hello Norma.... guess who....?
clue for first two IN words ???
ty, babrab
in5 talent ?
So, dear, you had a good weekend with Tim?
yes it was great hanging out & watching movies taking dogs to the park & grooming them etc
mother where are you ???
just was afraid he'd get bored
Sounds like just the tonic you needed...
it was nice to reconnect
BRB - need caffeine and a butt
could use a bit of adult tonic too though
I did not count, hurshy ... seems those who did cannot agree about the total days ... but most think bush will not return to DC until the jan 20
We could ALL use that....
Hi!
i guess i just wondered, cause i want to be fair, and i don't know, like, what his usual schedule was, and whatnot, and i was thinking, well, i get every weekend off, plus vacation, so that's over 100 days off a year
hello, jjks
yes but you can look forward to Viktor

deeha-- a washers counterpart

Deeha, after you clean the clothes in the washer where do you put them?

deeha - dr* the dishes + **ase the blackboard and plural
finally finished the Ls thank god
Mayhap they don't have that appliance in GB?

hi all
hi, dore!
tiger! wrong box!
well, perhaps we have a sick care system and not a health care system!
i have a friend who i just found out had a thing happen to her two years ago where she went into anaphylactic shock and got ambulanced to the ER, and it was like, two weeks before she was starting a job and she didn't have insurance yet, so she wound up with these huge bills. two weeks later, no problem, but that day, and she's in debt for years. does this not seem bizarre?
I know oops
hi dore!
noy bizarre hursh, have heard too many stories like that. It does, however, sound cruel, inhumane and just dreadful
hi aslindy and dorens
that happens so frequently here in the US, hurshy, it's shameful.
it happens tiger...:)
unacceptable in an industrialized society, hursh.
see, having heard lots of stories like that doesn't make it less inherently bizarre.
I know our NHS is rubbish - but it is FREE rubbish!!
of course if she had been an illegal....that wouldn't have been the case
or any less inhumane...
part of the problem of course is big pharma and big agro keeping us stupid and sick!
need a break...stuck at 107...bbl
so young and so cynical phaeton!!
phaeton, that is what is so awful...that citizens without insurance are in debt and someone that should not be in the U
yep that's me...young!
That, annie, is our governments at work for us!
i always expect arret to be valid, but babble is not like a stop sign.
what is diabolical is our representatives voting for the complete health care package for themselves why voting against more coverage for the rest of america as a budget buster
of course, you MIGHT then get deported...
hi peoples, lunch and Babble time.. and I tried to update profile.. checking to see if my flag comes back from cyberspace
it can be a stop sign in some ways, dcs 8-)
while
phaeton, I never finished but you get what I was saying......typos are my middle name
yay.. it worked!
WHO is governing Congress?
indeed, babbler
you can put in suggestions at change.gov on health etc. for whatever that proves to be worth...
i was recently reading about how for-profit jails have to keep money coming in, so they are encouraging crackdowns on illegal immigrants. sometimes these are people who were brought here as toddlers by their parents and have lived here most of their lives, so it was not really their fault...
Their motto is: All for Us!
theoretically, we the people in order to form a more perfect union have agreed to a democratic republic trusting out representatives will do what is best for the country
our elected representatives oft forget who elected them...
did anyone get fireworks????????
3-3, Dolphins - Ravens
instead, the representatives have more loyalty to their parties and any benefit to the people is incidental
hi pam
well said, and all too true, babrab
what a corrupt system
hi, jp
want to be friends
want tobe friends pam
I agree, BR
incidental at best, babbler, at best...
and they toss these people in jail and their friends and relatives don't even know where they are or how to get in touch with them
Might someone please clue the an9??
jp, am chatting and playing the grid. No offense...
don't have it, met
not to mention loyalty to those who have funded their campaigns??

so what clue is for the ac8?
hi guys, long time no type!
jp, go troll somewhere else
freedom of the press was intended to allow our media to be a watchdog, comforting the afflicted and and afflicting the comfortable. Now, the press does advocacy journalism to promote the agenda of their owners ... the watchdog rarely barks
dornes i am 10 years old
indeed so, babrab :/

Pam how is the head?
Or, the press is hamstrung by the so-called Patriot Act...

the 4/9 i have
re7 deer, ty babrab
Hmmm, what about the book that Obama gets insried by, what is it? Team of Rivals?
got it, thx
two jo 4/9
Seain, you are in PB!
neat, i did not have that word :)
I really don't understand how or why some people see Obama as some sort of messiah. The dude hasn't even so much as flicked a light switch in the White House. As with all elected officials, he has to prove himself. Until then, I expect the economy to get a little worse, job losses to increase and taxes to increase. Reality is going to keep thudding along for quite some time yet.
me either
what's a cadual appendage. or did you mean casual?
dc, i heard you got to meet lil*monkey!
Amen Judi
t'is true, littlebit :)
judi, I think it is the hope that he represents after such a drought of hope
jbp, what a dog wags.
Obama already has said it will get worse
she and i have met up a few times. she's a sweetie!
big ol' mackerel slap for me
thanks red
jdp, it's the name of a hawk or a de/4
Obama happens to be a charismatic individual, who has good taste in music. I imagine that my life will remain pretty much the same as it has.
All except for maybe my housing issues, in trying to sell the house.
Hope don't pay the mortgage. And hope has been around since Pandora opened the box. So, I don't see how we're being offered any more of it from Obama. Hope is what you create for yourself. It's not something that's handed to you in any form from some politico.
you create your universe, i will create mine. i bet i'll be happier. =)
you have your opinion and good for you ...
As I said, I imagine my life will pretty much stay the same as it always has.
amen O2
In the olden days on Babble, we didn't discuss politics. It never led to good feelings. Let's go back.
i'd love some i at the bottom right clues
but I do feel it will be a bit easier to travel now than it was during the bush era. and that was not fun...
i have i+hillside
people have choice those who believe there is a better way will do their part
never mind, I remembered my biology
jdp, hillside?
out of the wind.
I don't generally discuss politics here or anywhere else for that matter. I just think some people are in for a really big dissapointment when the realize that our new President is just another human being who made too many fantastic promises.
ty, jdp
the i words from the bottom right generally have to do with the muscle/tendon grouping near the hip/pelvis
yes, judi, many seem not to realizes he is a politician
you can join the naysayers and sing your chorus of dispair
well, Judi, that is certainly a possible scenario.
BRB Honey's home. Got to get rid of boyfriend, Babble.
however, I've been pissed off and depressed for 8 years with the way the USA is going
Time will tell.
so please, at least for the first 100 days, allow me my optimism
you can gloat later
and our visions and actions will as well!
sorry to be so abrupt.
going to eat lunch and walk the dogs, later everyone!

It never hurts to let our elected officials know how we feel they should vote on issues. However, even though something like 78% of the public (when polled) said the US Gov. should NOT bail out the auto makers, the US Gov went ahead and did it anyway! Maybe if we were all lobbyists...
scuse me....*hiding now*

Omigosh BR! I haven't heard that in YEARS. The guys I hung out with in high school (together with dinosaurs) used to say "Your lights are on" when one of us would say anything stupid. (which was often!)
Ts finally tranquilized
the guys in my HS meant something entirely different when they said that...
lucky duck! i still have 19 t's to go
i've never heard that expresion
hi everyone - back again to find the last 85
i was going to say the same thing, kje
it was a reference said mostly in cold situations and only to women, dc...use your imagination
LOL, my cluelesseness even amazes me sometimes. ty, kje
of course, it also does not get very cold here most of the time.
brb. i'm making hash brown casserole
hmmm... cold enough i suspect
sometimes, but not as often as you might think.
ok... need two more J words... any guesses? any weird ones?
re 7, 32 clue please
jo6 almonds
a jo4 of electricity
crimson caudal appendage
excellent, ty dc - would have suspected proper noun there

hey there, sneaking a few minutes while daniel's asleep on the couch

hi Feather
TY JBV
J's done
dungarees - now that's a word we haven't heard in a while
hi weed
thought that was before your time, dc - you must've heard that growing up
well, br... sweaters were not always available, and if thin, only made the lights more obvious anyway... and highschool boys are asses
all the more reason why I appreciate my hs experience, kje - all girls
Br I love your hint: crimson caudal appendage
lol, had to do a quick scroll down
my grandmother used the word dungarees, which is why i know it that and Hardy Boys books
yes weed... you def popped in at a weird moment
i'm from the days when we used to wear them rolled up at the cuff - roy rogers days
hi all!
I agree w/Bichon, BR...cool clue!
i met roy rogers and trigger once at a restaurant opening here.
hi, nrkii!
hello, nrkii
br is a clever cluer in general
hi nrkii
although, occasionally, he makes me think too hard and my head explodes
really, dc??? i would have thought that before your time... how old are you?
he was all the rage - imagine I even had roy rogers six-shooters and fringed shirt - nobody thought playing with guns was wrong then
Maybe BR should change the name to Babble-Rama! Always reliable and always spectacular!
I'll be 38 in a few weeks
that is younger than me dc!

hey, kje, any advice for keeping a sick boy hydrated? he had a bug yesterday, and now today he's just not able to tolerate anything on his tummy
popsicles feather?
kj, I cannot even remember when I was young like you
diarrhea or just vomiting?
that brings back memories, babrab :)
he keeps asking to eat something, but he can't even keep a teaspoon and a half of pedialyte down
just vomiting
ty br... now i do not feel so old
jello feather?
threw up the popsicle, even though he loved it.
ice chips?
what of brother and/or some rice, feather?
had jello last night, threw it up this morning. sigh.
when Meg was dehydrated in hopital they made her constantly sip weak ribena with dioralyte mixed in even if she wasn't keeping it down
pedialyte, sprite, koolaide... in small sips... can try an OTC drug called emetrol which comes in cherry flavor and sometimes works
feather, I think you have to keep giving him the jello and popsicles even though he might throw them up tho
dilute the jello and give it liquid or coke syrup
i got to doing a half teaspoon of pedialyte every 5 minutes. he did that three times, then laid down on the couch, then threw it up after about 15-20 minutes
i have the emetrol, threw that up this morning
not doing well on grid at all. not at all.
Where's Scrabs?
ooh, coke syrup -- loved that when I was sick as a kid
sorry to hear that, featherbee, keep an eye on the clock and on how much he is taking in
ok, so just keep giving it to him regardless?
ginger ale
It still works
otherwise, if he really is not keeping ANYTHING down, i would call his doc and get a suppositry of an antiemetic so you don't end up in the ED with dehydration
suppository
he went a huge time yesterday without throwing up. he was sick all friday night, then went from 12noon to 6am this morning keeping stuff down.
Keep battling feather - otherwise he'll end up needing a drip like Meg had and that wasnt nice
Is Daniel your youngest or eldest?
I'd call the doc
percy is the youngest
4 and a half
ginger ale or coca cola can help
speaking of suppositories...clue for an9? please.
should i give him food? he keeps asking, but my gut says liquids right now
greetings and salutitations, nut
a + ***** pole+ suffix meaning inhabitant
an plus a direction plus net heavy ending
"speaking of suppositories" - LOLOLOL
I keep popping in and out. How old is he feather? suppositories work well usually or tiny, tiny sips of flat coke.
he says he's hungry
not, not net LOL
I wouldn't give him food feather, could make it worse
feather - something benign is fine... we callit the brat diet... banana, rice, apple, toast... bland stuff
that's what i'm afraid of
clear liquids until he stops being sick feather
an 9 -- a + a direction and the dog's bark was worse than his b***
feather - if he is hungry - give him something bland... make him some toast
my mom had to be on brat diet last summer
but I thought apple was applesauce
ty
I was last month. I was nauseous for 5 days
How old is he? Sounds like he isn't even ready for the brat diet. (Bananas, rice, applesauce, toast)
Can you put the pedialyte in the freezer? Not as pops but as ice cubes. He can suck them slowly.
You wouldn't want to give a nauseous kid the skin of the apple
feather - feel free to message me if you want... i have fb open
How about AS9? please.
as + to be sure of
poor baby - i've been through this featherbee and waited way too long (waited through the night until dawn) and ended up having to take my son to the ER for an IV - so my advice is to speak to the doctor and let him know what's going on
as9 - to get the gist of, to learn
as9 - to confirm or certify
kje, you aren't showing up on FB chat
TY 2 for 1
hmmm.. let me double check
feather - mine shows you are sleeping.... why are you sleeping????
What is FB chat?
check again
chat in facebook, michnick
Oh. I have a page in facebook but I never got the hang of it.
hi mich. just came on. how is it all over there? how is the politics?
The situation is really tense. we are still ok in Jerusalem but everything here is close, you know that.
My kids are freaking because if we get any action here, I cannot get to our bomb shelter.
why not, michnick?
I am a wheelchair user and the bomb shelter is down on the lower level of our building.
wishing you safety Michnick!
Thanks nrkii. we are all praying hard for peace.
oh, but do you have neighbors who can help you?
Yes, but the warning time between rockets being launched and landing is at most 40 seconds. I wouldn't want anyone to get hurt helping me.
michnick, may you be safe.
Amen, thank dcs
wow, that is difficult, but let's hope that all will be well and there will be no need for the shelter
Thank you JBV, We are hoping so also.
ooph, the j word I missed was the stupid plural
hi all.......:)
hi, chickie
hi chickie

Ohhhhhh. Like, when I'm at work or sleeping.

Hi I'm back. My internet connection suddenly disappeared and left me hanging in cyberspace.
Any clues for ac 8/50?

dcseain's bday is in Feb
kajee! hi!
oh, ok
hi mich, i also had to go so couldnt type while you wrote. how far is the bomb shelter? it is in your building?
waving
good clue, monkey, TY
i will be in baltimore feb... middish...
Hi You! Many thanks that was certainly a mouthful!
Feb 8 kajee
i pray you never need it. kira, my daughter called while you were typing and i told her. she said "mom, they will never bomb neve yaakov! lets pray she is correct.
hello all!
i think i am there the 12th or so
kje--how was your vacation? Was it everything you imagined and more?
The bomb shelter is actually just below us in the same building but since we don't have a shared hall we'd have to run outside & then down the stairs. I hope Kira is right!
hi
kajee how was Paris???
paris is always wonderful monkey
anyway mich, trouble is that i dont know what the goal is. the thought that hamas can be destroyed is like saying that the u.s. could go out and find all the republicans and round them up...........
stay safe mich!
hi everyone, clue for the na9 please?
all I want(ed) for solstice was a little whirled peaz....
hi, lbd
what about the shelter at malkas building? where is that one? is it possible to make one of your rooms a shelter? your master bedroom maybe? you cant be the only ones with a situation like that.
not there yet dawg, sorry started at the bottom
nm, found it
hiya dawg
Thanks Nonnie. the problem, mkg, is that there is no solution. The goal is unattainable and the other side is willing to do anything.
is the stairway in front of your apt? i dont recall any stairs going down.
Malka's building also has steps and I don't even know where there shelter is. The stairs are right to the side of our apartment.
Michnik, I am hoping for safety for you and all around you
if people want to do evil, it is so hard to stop them.
too bad evil is so widespread...
Thank you bichon. The world is falling apart. To think just a couple of weeks a go I was actually worried about money!
I can't imagine Hamas shelling Jerusalem. What if they hit a Muslim holy site?
are they under where the stairs go up? i cant believe i dont know where they are. gee. i guess if there are 4 strong guys they can carry you with that arm hand thing..........where you put 4 arms in a square and lock arms just above the wrist. then you can carry a person no problem.
bichon, remember when iran and iraq were at war? i am sure they bombed mosques. and when there is in fighting they bomb each others mosques.
We are counting on your being right Bichon, that and the fact that my neighborhood is surrounded by Arab neighborhoods. They'd never take a chance like that.
actually, two kind of wimpy people can carry a person using locked arms. 8-)
Yes, mkg, they are right under the stairs. The problem isn't actually the technical part of getting me down, it's more the time factor.
But some of the holiest sites in Islam are in Jerusalem
scaroth! is not a word
the shiites and sunnis fight by bombing each others mosques. and actually jerusalem isnt their most holy place, mecca is. i thinnk i read jerusalem is number 3 or 4.
Gotta go make dinner Couz and EB...Happy Babbling!
ahhh, another girl scout, bdg?
bye bye kadresa
right mich, the time. i will pray you are safe and sound. it is said jerusalem wont be touched but never say never.
girl scout, also taugh some red cross first aid classes, as an assistant
bye barb happy cooking
8-) BDG
bye kad
mich, i wish i could come for another visit now. it is so terrible for me to leave israel. i miss it so much.
You are right Bichon, but the outlying suburbs do not hold any holy sites. But there are a lot of Muslim communities here.
any hints for the AC8?
my love to all your family mich.
Thank you all, and pray for peace.
mich, how is mannys mom doing? i didnt see her in nov.
The Dome of the Rock and Al Aqsa are right up there after Mecca and Medina, right?
peace everlasting... on all sides...
hi. dawg you still need na9?
ac + **w **w **w your boat + scientific word for a rock
i do dorens!
she "pulled a peri" and found it once she asked, dore
bichon, i dont think so. i think therre are other places but not sure. i read that mecca is one, then other places in the arab world.
That is right Bichon, both in the Old City. I am in a further north neighborhood. Not too far from Ramallah actually.
ac + **th IRA + latin prefix for rock

oh no bichon you could never do that as much s our peri!
ty dorens
thanks, dore!
sprite?
ty dorens
mich. hoping for peaceful resolution
yes bdg
what is the arab town right on the other side of the road from you on top of t he hill? sometimes i forget to turn left and go thru it.
okay, got it. kept typing wrong vowel, OY
Thank you Dorens. Keep us all in your prayers.
I hope for a peaceful solution Dorens, but I am pessimistic
i am pessimistic too.
ends up in push the p****s to make your bike go
I don't think "terrorist organization" and "peaceful resolution" ever occur together in the same sentence.
I am so bloody sick of war...
We are right next to the town of Shuafat, Chizma is just over the hill below my house and there is another village at the top of Neve Yaakov where the road turns.
hard to get to peace when factions have been at it for decades . . . or centuries even
no, sadly that is all true, but I still can hope
if there were arab leaders who really wanted peace and their own nation, they would have succeeded. the israelis dont want to be in charge of these people. they truly dont.
cr6 is what ii was cluing
You're right Judi. The problem is whether both sides actually want a peaceful resolution.
You're right Judi. The problem is whether both sides actually want a peaceful resolution.
well mich, i hope that your location will mean safety for you.
exactly, mich, and unfortunately, both sides seem wedded to the status quo. Dayenu.
Agreed, Michnick. Prayers for Israel, its troops and innocents on both sides.
You said it. Pam and Book Dr. I am most depressed by the hopelessness of it.
i remember in 1974 when i was in israel that all was very peaceful and we drove everywhere and went everywhere that now i would be killed in like hevron(hebron) and schem(nablus)........and the arabs were so happy and said how things were so much better under israel than they had been under jordan! they were richer, they paid no taxes, they got better medical care and the electricity worked and the tourists bought lots of stuff and they were doing great. then terror struck. arafat came back and the big cheese and all was lost.
If only the Arabs loved their own children as much as they hate Israel, there would be a solution
I will NEVER understand why violence is a first choice, why peace isn't the imperative...
amen bichon. i remember that saying well.
there are plenty of arabs who want peace. there is no unity, no "place" for peace in much of their leadership, but arab individuals want peace
when the arab mothers love their children more than they hate israel, there will be peace indeed.
but do the arab mothers have a say? who is really ruling these minds? not the mothers! i am told UNRWA is terrible and allows leaders to keep all the money from the u.n. and the EU and that is an issue as well.
I cannot imagine raising children on hate and blood. Even with what is going on now I keep telling my children that we cannot be happy when we hear that the Palestinians have been killed, and then they see on the news that they are cheering in the Muslim world that one of our soldiers is killed!
Unfortunately, most Arab mothers aren't allowed much say in anything.
It isn't just the Arab mothers, it is anyone with a moderate outlook. They are almost as quick to kill their own if they disagree.
I see Israelis and American Jews cheering, too. It's a mentality I have long longed to be changed
people cheer at all sorts of sick things. like football games (joke!)
I think most American Jews, like myself, very sad that innocent Arab children and their families are dying
That sickens me, it is so against our belief system. We were told not to cheer when the Egyptians chasing after us after leaving Egypt were drowned after the sea split. It's in the Torah (Bible)
I meant that Jews could cheer about Arab deaths. Of course we should be sad, but that doesn't mean we were left with a choice.
for years and years I have been called an anti-semitic jew because I support peace above all, mich. I read like-minded people writing in the Jerusalem Post, but here, many think I am anti-Israel. It is a long road to peace
It's hard to find that golden line, Pam. I am pro-Israel and pro-humanity. Every arab killed is a loss of human life and saddens me, but like any nation I feel we must defend ourselves. Peace at any cost is a death sentence to Jews and Israel.
no one wants innocent children to die. no one. even israel does all it can so that doesnt happen. thus they dont carpet bomb like the u.s. but hamas on purpose plants itself in the midsst of citizens so that they can scream that innocent people died. they sometimes send these missles to israel from hospitals! and schools!
pam, what upsets me is when i hear people say that israel is to blame for it all, that they caused it. that is not true. and that is when i am shocked. it is like saying the u.s. deserved 9-11.
There is no way to peace, peace is the way. It's time to talk. To really talk. To cede what must be ceded, by all parties. Hamas bombs, israeli bombs--they are all bombs.
mkg, actually, i once found myself in a conversation with a guy who did want children to die. he was defending the bulldozing of homes even in families were in them (totally nuts, IMO)
My cousins live in Sderot but sent their 14 year old son to Jerusalem to learn in Yeshiva. What happened? A terrorist infiltrated his Yeshiva when preparing for a big party and shot in cold blood over a dozen 14 and 15 year old boys. I cannot say they care about our children.
i do not believe the arab world teaches tolerance. they dont tolerate each sect, nor do they allow churches or synagogues or any other religious.
i think we shouldn't mess with the Israelis. Most are Jews, and they're the chosen ones. let's be peaceful so WE don't die... but, don't listen to my two cents.
i just don't want to be in a situation of war
Pam, the problem is that we talk, we come to an "agreement" but ultimately they really do want us all dead. How many died on 9/11/01?
Chosen? to do what? I don't mean to be sarcastic, but Israelis are world citizens, and should be held to the same standards. There is a war, a ground war and an air war. I
No one ever wants to be in a war Madi. Keep praying for peace.
those who i call themselves terrorists dont value life period. not their own, not their families and not anyones. so of course they could care less about whom they kill. certainly the targets are merely any person who is from the western world. they bombed subways in england. now what did the brits ever do to them?
Close to 4000 people died on 9.11. So the current US president used it as an excuse to bomb Iraq. Sinful.
If anyone would look at History, the Brits always came out on the side of the Arab world.
pam, the current american prez would have used anything as an excuse. he is a war criminal at least 600,000 times over
hamas and fatah have NEVER ONCE said that israel can exist. they only say israel must NOT exist. that they want 100% of the land and they want 100% of the israelis gone. and the land was never 100% theirs anyway! jews always lived there from the biblical times. jews were always in hebron, jerusalem, haifa, tel aviv area, safat, etc. always.
agreed, bdg
Pam, I agree with you that the Israeli government should be held to the same standards as any other nation. But it is not and never has been. Would any other nation sit back for so long and allow their citizens to be killed because they are afraid of world opinion?
no nation in the world conquers land and gives it back for peace and then doesnt get the peace.
there is no solving the middle east question unless one side (or both) is willing to be forgiven. so said a longtime negotiator interviewed on tv years ago
no other nation allows missles to come over their borders for years with no response.
There is a double standard everywhere, mich. People on all sides afraid of sounding anti-Israeli or anti-arab. Israel is hamstrung, to a point. Arab leaders are hamstrung, to a point. So terrorism thrives.
no other nation uses such restraint and tries not to kill citizens as much as israel. the u.s. carpet bombs as does all other nations. only israel doesnt.
I have a song stuck in my head ...all we are saying is give peace a chance...
Ahh I don't think we will solve the Mid East Crisis here tonight.
forgiveness is indeed the first step.
well if israel is held by the same standard as the palestinians, they can then send missles daily over the borders over and over again. it has been 8 yrs of missles comeing from gaza and wounding and killiing israeli's.
Yes Pam, but who exactly should forgive whom? The Israelis are always first to forgive, usually before the other side asks for forgiveness. They never will because they are so sure they are right.
must go have an appointment. love ya mich. i pray for peace.
found the last j. wouldja know it's a country in teh mideast
How's that for poetic irony?
both sides need to be willing to *be forgiven*. that's the key. think about it.
lol, mich!

Hi, DR

Hi Pam
that's el5/10
lol, lil!
Hi again Jellen!
another 7 words and I can list!!!
but ty anyway
Not unless you get cut with it pam....
we seem to be on th esame babble pattern
oh, sorry, nelle
did you get cut?
I went to put the glass in the sink, it slipped and broke. I cut myself picking up the bag with the glass in it...
ive drank wine from a high heel shoe,so a spotty glass is no worry
When was the last tetanus innoc?
I did, red, and my tetanus is OLD...
s'ok!
LOL, cross
you only need tetanus every 10 years
How old? Older than 5?
el + welcome greeting (2 ltrs)
12 years ago, I think...
I keep meaning to ask for one...
crossy, if you drank wine from my shoe, you would die for sure
Actually Monkey the recommendation is every 10 Unless you get a cut. then if you are 5 years are beyond you get boosted.
lol Monkey
Pam, I would call and get one tomorro. Its not a huge risk as tetanus spores pretty much live in Dirt... but.
aha! ty very much!
lol monkey..sinky feet wine
You need one anyway.
so, I need a boost, eh?
stinkey even
damn typos
crossy, toe jam wine haha
ewwww
hi crossy :))
Actually you can now get a vacciene called adacel, which include pertussis and diptheria. as well. Pertussis is making a comeback.
howdy mrp;))
I have to see the doc if I get another sinus issue.... if I don't i'll arrange for a booster... I am too clumsy to be uncovered...
you will love it
i have nver had pertussis
whoop whoop
I have heard that about pertussis...
It's rather an annoying disease.
crossy was first in line for the flu shot this year,dont need to get nasty lung issues this year
you gonna need all these lovely big pertussis words to find some of the 9's!
no flu shot for me this year. so far no flu, but...theres time yet.
crossy did you ask for it in your bum???
have never had a flu shot... ???
lol they dont do it in the bum,but if you want it like that im sure they will oblige monkey
i had my one and only flu shot 2 years ago.
I get one every year
no i don't! i don't get a flu shot, never have
I've never had a flu shot...
hi DR.
hi, dr
my immune syste, is not what it should be
Hi Red
i just thought that might be why you were first in line, crossy
* system
why is that, DR ?
It has never been suggested to me to get a flu shot and no thanks!
they are getting very good at matching the shot with the strain of the year,it is definatly worth getting
Hi DC and Mr P and of course Crossy
the time i had one--recommended for where i volunteer--i got a bad bronchitis. I think that my body was fighting the antibodies so I became vulnerable
bad mrp,bad ,bad
It depends on your risk cross.
Last year, cross, they missed....
hi DR :)
howdy dr1965:)
: )
I got the flu last year, was sick forever.
this year they nailed it pam
I remember that, red...
glad they got it right, cross... It's a tough call, I know...
I have one R ledt a 5...how many points are there please?
carpenter flu a threat this year?
where I work, if you do not get one, you have to sign a waiver
get it pam..trust crossy
253 words, 3101 points
that is weirdo DR
hi BR
hello, mrp
ty ...its r5/10
I have had to do that at a few places too DR. just due to risk.
I work for a healthcare company
i have to sign a waiver at work if i refuse the flu shot or the hepatitis vaccine
me too DR
not in hte medical field but it does not matter
la5 after the spanish thief, pls?
Pam, unless you are exposed to large amts of sick people or lots of young children, I would think your risk is lower for getting the flu.
all employees must get the shot or sign
what does it mean" to list", please?
um , spanish theif?
tom gets a flu shat since he works in ICU and is imunosupressed.
it is, the year I got the shot, I was volunteering a TON at a drop-in for people with HIV/AIDS. I listened to the nurse
Lickety has to have a medical and they take random blood tests to check for drug use
that is smart DC
sorry, misread, la 5.10 after the fat that's not off
I have volunteered there since, without getting the flu shot...
seain, which la5 do you need
Oh yes...that makes sense.
that makes sense, dcs....

I only say that because one of my tenured professor resigned last spring and is now teaching at UNC (had already found and bought their home out there).
YEA Kall
If it doesn't sell as quickly as you'd like, consider renting it to terminal degrees students (master's and PhD's)...
It will be posted there, and that is exactly the market I want Pini.
red, i missed your answer... are you staying in FLA ?
I am not going to rent it. It will sell, its in the right neighbourhood and at the right price it appeals to first time home buyers.
terminal degrees LOL
I am trying to stay in Fl.
aaaand, I am back! children safely home and tucking in to dinner....and I am tucking in to the last 93 words I am missing!
If the house doesnt sell in the next 3 months, i will have to take a contract out of FLorida...

bye Lil
hasta, lil!
see ya monkey
Bye, lil
June.... you remember well?
yes, my father used to trail ride around our home. I hated going with him. And June of 1979 was the last time i went with him. Finally, didn't have to do it anymore
Trail riding... ah yes, I did alot of that on the farm. I gave it up for horses instead
Dad grew up on a farm. i grew up near farms, but in a subdivision
I grew up in the city and spent my weekends and holidays at the farms.
i spent some school breaks at my aunt ruth's farm
mr p, when you mentioned trail riding I thought you meant horses....that's what we ride on trails here, anyway
(I went to school in the city)
we still visit her :) my nephew noticed that the top of the silo has fallen in
years ago, i rode horses in Great Falls, VA. THere had been an oil spill in Frying Pan Run, and we wore on the ridge trail...
a narrow trail with 100m drop on one side, and the lead horse, mine did not want to go on around the hairpin at the top because of the smell
smart horse!
took 20 min to nudge him forward, and moments to round the ridge to no more smell
okay the monkeys must be out on the trail too - clue for the cr 6, 24 please? apologies if it is a fish
yes, smart. esp in that he stopped, did not back up, and did not try to turn nor buck :)

herin, I had the most awesome chat with an old friend today! he was my best pal in theatre school, went on to design costumes for the washington, dc, opera, and made my wedding dress. he got wind of my changed personal sitch, and called for a nice, long talk. about an hour in, he says, in all seriousness: "I know exactly where all the problems in your marriage stem from. Massachusetts voted in gay marriage. Once the homosexuals could marry, your traditional marriage was DOOMED." Oh, I just rolled laughing. It was SO funny.
congrats, jellen!

hello phae - sorry, just saw your question. I am editing for grammar, yes, but more for how it is written. where are the connections to the story, which characters work and which don't and what order the chapters should be in. that is a big issue at the moment
the other is really beat up with scratches

Hi, PAV!
what a party here!
hi, pav
nvm, got it...
(*** pam is on her game now ***)
chogging is fun when there is nothing under the bridge
hey ruru! how was your trip?
birdeee, I emailed Dr_G and he didn't see anything egregious about that behaviour!
so far so good..going to see yellowstone tomorrow and Tuesday..
Hi, jilli!
Hi all!
HI jilli!!
well . . . it is difficult when God doesn't agree with you
hi ruru -- glad to see yuyu!
try not to fall into the volcano!
we will just have to be on our ignoring toes then
MMMM.. mesquite grilled ruru...?
and don't get charged by the Celebes buffalo
I think it said it was going on a visit so maybe it won't show up
crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle..
birdee, I put up an ungodly stink as well, as I got totally sick of that little troll, but it doesn't seem to have helped
*crossing fingers while typing*
troll?
trif -- did you write to Dr_G?
I don't know why it bothered me so much. maybe bc I come to babble to relax, and hang with you guys, and he/she was just wrecking it
I love dispatching trolls..
yes, ruru, for the last few days -- really just a pest
oooh, gossip I missed?
(glad it wasn't me)
stick around ruru in case there is a repeat performance
ruru, aren't you supposed to be at dinner?
It starts at aound 2:45 am grid time
any one find any ithite words
It is amazing to me that trolls can be so dense ..
Yes I should get going... maybe back la5...
I think that's why they're trolls...
this one is in Australia, age 9, it says
ta ta...
why doesn't he just play legos or something? i mean, honestly, what interest could this game possibly hold for a nine year old?
oooh did i miss a troll?
have a nice dinner - thnx for the remark about my family
ttfn ruru
the interest is getting attention
tri - definitely NOT a nine-year old
I know, right? that is what got to me the most. He was SO obnoxious, and then it was all "oh, i am young, please love me" and people who didn't know the shtick just kept feeding it and feeding it.
so, I guess good at trolldom, anyway
what did i miss? what did i miss?
I get you now - my ignoring hat is nearby just in case
i use trolls for an opportunity to practice my tact and diplomacy
ignoring the trolls is fun :)
no fun, harp -- just a kid being a nuisance and pestering with questions
harp - here is a good representative slice - go to the archives for yesterday, the 3rd, and read the chog from around 3:20 am to 4 am. just scan it, you will see what we are talking about. HOW dr. g can ignore THAT is beyond me!
NOT A CHILD
ok, but the danger is not imminent?
we were all nice to it at first but then caught on. It has Dr_G fooled, unfortunately, and he won't do anything about it.
no, harp, not imminent
every time I was reported as a troll dr god would write saying it was my last chance ... I would tell the doctor I am an atheist and do not believe him neener neener neener
when were YOU a troll br?
who was it, jilli, so if they sign on, I will know not to feed immediately....
LOL. Because of the school break,we are getting moreand more young people who are annoying, there are also young not annoying people.,like Madi who is fun.
LOL, babbler
BR - can I ask a dumb question about Antararctica?
ROFL babrab :D
well, I rent under a bridge
Pam, it goes by the name Yogo
pam, it's yogo -- it's been here before, a few months ago
poor birdeee got the worst of it, last night.
ah, yogo, it shows up from time to time
YOU - GO
I just wrote Dr_G again and asked him to check out this chat
maybe yogo is Dr God having a laugh.
it is good I have a thick skin for immature annoyance
unlikely hough.
yes, there are several very wonderful young people who play
sure, Birdeee, I am sure I have an appropriate answer
Darth...Madi...
What time zone do you use - is it different for the different stations or ??
oh no "appropriate"
thanks for the heads' up, folks.... I don't know that I have seen yogo....
But, I love playing with darth and madi!
sorry, no idea
Birdeee, the grid time is the same everywhere -- it's US Central zone, where Dr_G lives
jpgirl annoyed the hell out of me, but s/he wasn't being VERY troll-like...
Pam I looked back into chat it was annoying. but this afternoon was not that fun either.
i thought the stations all used NZ time in antarctica
Pam I dont know why but the young people always beg you to be their friend!!!
I missed this afternoon -- good ting?
PHILLY!
thing
If you want a little information about Antarctica, I am sure I have as little as any one
No I mean if one is living in antarctica - do they use GMT or what?
annoyingly pesteringly YOUNG, jilli
clue for the re7?
GMT+12 is antarctic time, birdee
oh dear!
ohhh you joker
thanks dc - now BR knows too
they love Pam. I dont know why.
re7= crimson caudal appendage!
Times in Antarctica vary depending on the location of the research station and which country is operating the research station. Many research stations, but not all, use the time of the location that provides their supplies.
brb -- happy hour beginneth...
great clue jellen! ty
Should I cite BabbleRabble as a source??
isn't that the truth, red? I just don't get it....
yogo isn't a 9 year old girl
Amundsen-Scott station is GMT+12 i know, can't speak for others. :)
cool clue Jellen - calls for a glass of wine!
wow, antarctica time is a scream, LOL... the more i learn, the less I know....
here is a link, dcs: http://www.timegenie.com/country.time/ aq/
birdee... did you cop it again last night?
hullo all... am waiting for dinner to bake and sick of housework so i am babbling (in more ways than one)
right around the north pole (and I assume the south also), you can move a TEENY bit and be in a different time zone
When I find out weird info invariably I am asked that question sometime during the following week in school from an ACTUAL 9 year old - I will let you all know!
Hi, kier!
I was trying to ice fish, but the ice would not fall for the bait
LOL BR
hi kier :))
so instead of being due north of Greenland you are due north of Norway
Mrp - ??
harp, go to the PB
hi all :) this is loading very slowly today!
birdee, did yogo give you a hard time again last night
AGAIN?
secooper is also pretty young, but you will never see troll like behaviour out of that one. she is very well behaved
yeay! my A's are done! must remember pl!
at least i am consistent!
I think I had to get off before it was on again - need to get back to teacher sleep schedule
go, pav!
is that "nine year old" still buzzing around?
not today
harp - I left a knitting project in the PB that is in a time out - take a peek at it and give advice if you can
my advice, buy new stuff knitted by other people!
Hi all
Hi, jmc
hello, jmc
and no, it isnt 9... no 9 year old is up til after 10pm with parents who are half assed.
LOL! I am the one who tells them how to do it though!
hi jmc :)
So I reread the chat and there seems to be news about yogo?
anyone else having problems with babble expert ?
then you don't need MY advice....
kaz, close it down and reopen, Lickety is going to have to send out a new version
i've tried that mrp :(
I think I'm a version or two behind...
hi everyone
hi, jmc
hi dawg
hi, lbd
Hi, lbd!
hi, dawg!
hi lbd
oh, gawd, true confessions here = MY 9 year old just climbed up on my lap and asked if she could type in my babble words. so officially, she is a nine year old, babbling
my lickety add, send words to clues just not working...I'll have to be careful where I type is all
LOL tri
helloooo! Back from grading about 30 essays.. about 20 to go.
mine is fine (Expert)
could someone clue ca9?
Hi, jjks
ca9 is a cannon named after a town in Scotland
harp, small cannon... sounds like a refreshing lemon drink
like a series of columns, with a different double consonant
like a series of columns, with a different double consonant
Hi jjks
hm....
jilli, you here?
hi jjks
ca9 = auto + mr. reagan, for short + lemon***, summer drink
well i have a fairly smart 10 yr old and he is 1-2 levels above his grade and he can't spell that well, like yogo. not buying it. and he's a little a$$, too (not my son. well, sometimes)
thanks
kier, it ain't a 9 year old
what does that ce9 word mean anyway?
mrp is it your alter ego? =)
ty jell I wasn't getting it from the other clues
help with ac 5/14 please
ce9?
on the other hand I am 56 and started asking my son how to spell words when he was 8
ac 5/14 pt of ac 4/5
ca9 A kind of short cannon, formerly in use, designed to throw a large projectile with small velocity, used for the purpose of breaking or smashing in, rather than piercing, the object aimed at, as the side of a ship.
yogo is a brand name here... I would go for something more elusive! LOL
oh duh ty Luv
Hello, Luv
thanks
Hi Jellen
yogo tracks conversations and his/her syntax is very good at times understands way too much for the person he/she purports to be
who here is somewhere warm because it's been about 20 degrees all day and we have 3 feet of snow and 8-10 inches on the way. brrrr
yes BabRab, and can type very quickly
yes, and NO 9 year old would have typed "birdeee" that many times in a row, as he did last night
sorry kier cold and about to snow here too
cut and past?
even cutting and pasting it, a child could not have done it that quickly
60s here today but 40 tomorrow
and no 9 year old would say "i only use one skin care product"
wasn't here last night so don't know
I guess I have the wrong ac4/5..... grrrr
ca clue didn't help me any :(
une, LOVE your icon!
ugh, can't find the last or4!
me too une
tr 8/45 please??
pam - measurement of a piece of ground
great, une
ac 4/5 is a unit of land measurement
me too une
Kazozz, did you see mine at 7:09?
thanks, trif :-)
have that, can't plural it....
na9?
harp, that is too funny! skin care product!! LOL
not plural - past
not plural, past tense
not plural, past tense
nvm, got it... not a pl, a past tense
that is something a male would say too!
thanks, birdee and luv
that's what he/she said!
tr8= three + start to fall asleep OR indicate agreement + ** Gore
I would go back and look at the archive... but then I'll get all caught up in all the conversations... so, I'll refrain. But, if s/he said that about skin care, it ain't no 9-year-old!!!!!!
she says she is 9... I say he is a troll from Aussie, he speaks like an aussie
in fact, if yogo comes back on i plan to ask which skin care product is the one of choice....that ought to disarm the tr
TY Jell for the great clue!
or4, last one pls
time zone would be about right, it's the middle of the night in the States then
or + Egyptian sun god
TY Jellen -- what a neat clue!!
yep jellen .. now at morewords trying to find it
It is definitely an aussie
that is what makes it embarassing for me... quoting the time zone from Central Australia
well you know the ca9 is between the ca4 5 (looks an awful lot like the auto) and the ca5 16...just add the yellow fruit drink that's kind of tart and sweet....
thank you!!! tried everything around it
Which part is giving you trouble, Kaz? I can reclue...
One more: na9/54 please???
na is another mineral, erda...
ca 9 -- auto; former pres reagan's first, shortened; and kool-***
na + most of what lives under a bridge + a vampire will b*** your neck
oh, yikes - tertiare just asked me why nobody bought her pixos for christmas. which reminded me that I *did* buy them, but I forget where i hid them, and thus forgot about them entirely, until she just metioned them. gads, where did i hide them????
LOL trif!
LOLOL, tri!
LOL trifloso... i've been there myself! good luck finding them
some pretty cool words in this puzzle
Oh no, Trif...maybe you'll find them in time for next Christmas...
my mom used to do that every year, trif! LOL
what is pixos?
indeed, jjks
Ty Luv!!!
I've done that and only remembered when I happened upon the present later
my mom bought a friend a gift 15 years ago that's still not been found
i have three 9s, an, ca, and na. What am I missing?
we think it somewhere in the LR closet
LOLOLOL, dcs
my mom used to hide our gifts in the same place - you'd think she knew...and I think she did (lol)
thanks Luv!
yeah, every year around here someone wins that lottery. I found some star wars stamps I bought for primo last christmas - in JULY!
I came very close this year...found a gift i had alreday wrapped on my way out the door!
the as9
as + for sure
thanks, pav
I found something I've been missing all summer in my ski helmet... not a gift but still nice to know where it went!
but man, where could they be? I only have a few hiding spots, and I thought I checked them all....and it's like an art set, harp
I still have a couple of presents to deliver, and one to make!
thanks, mrp!
cool, what age group?
I found $120 in my jacket pocket a few months ago
tri - check the trunk of the car - I have forgotten presents in there
a jacket I hadn't worn for about 4 years
i keep different wrapping papers for each person i'm giving to, and wrap as i buy stuf through the year
oooh finding money is always fun
Jackpot, mrp!
down to 54, bbl
thanks for clues
dcs, that is so fembot!
wow, MRP
I have 136 left! - must focus for a bit

the mc in my name is real
firewords!
wtg dc
woohoo, seain!!!!!!!!!!
Yay, dc!!!!
congrats seain

this is going to sound very crunchy but about 15 years ago we batiked a bunch of gift bags for each person and have used them ever since within the family.
okay, back. but....wait. if everyone you knew started doing that, jmc, wouldn't you eventually just be giving each other the same paper over and over???

Hi, Tea
Hi, lbd
hi tea
thanks again jellen
TNC! it's been almost forever!
I know - Tea is in Kindergarten, so that takes a lot of my time these days
wow, it has been almost forever! howdy, TNC!
and redT is the mother figure to a flock of sand cranes that have permanently bonded
plus, the tax se ason just started, so I have been busy getting ready for that!
Hi pam, how goes it - and everyone else!~
I think this may be true Bab. they did not run from me.
ergh, don't remind me about taxes
sorry :)
it's just i'm not organized at all this year.
OMG taxes. SO complicated for me.
are you an accountant, TNC, or do you mean getting your own ready?
that's what I'm here for ;)
I work for H & R Block as a preparer
Can't even imagine, red!!!
this is my 9th year with them, plus I teach for them a lot in the summer
so, that is my job, other than staying home with the little monkeys
didn't realize, TNC, thought you didn't work... I am spacey
I try really hard not too!
to
TNC, I have used H and R, but now I have to use a specialist for travel nurses so i stay on the right side of the law. I liked H and R easier...they are everywhere.
lol tnc
not to, I mean
Ar least not he IRS, who, as everyone knows, is here to help you
LOL, TNC
lol, BR
help on the ad7 pls
depends on who you get at Block, but we can access any return from any where now if it was done by Block before
lol BR
pl of ad6?
we have a gentleman in our office who specializes in traveling nurses
plural, jmc
ad7-worshippers
does he help with taxes too?
LOL, babbler... everyone has their own IRS nightmare...
wow, you could take that sentence and have all sorts of fun with it, tnc
Thats rare Tea. Most of the time people get really flustered.
guess I should have started smaller ;-)
ROFLMAO, babbler!!!!!!!!!!!!
hee hee - I thought that would happen as soon as I finished typing
Babble is on a roll.
I work in a great office, with people that have been with Block for decades, nothing flusters them!
an onion roll
lumpy
babbler--i love your icon!
ty
yw
I should come to your office Tea. but its a little far.
tea and crackers are 5 and 3 and tea just said to crackers - remember that game we used to play when we were little? Like 4 and 2?
we could handle it over the internet, even, red, if you really wanted to
the kids are such goofballs
time is relative
hey - I'm baaaack
hi lex
Hey, lex!
hallo lex
Well I have Joe Smith the travel tax man. He actually keeps me legal, which is a big issue...for travel nurses, so many of them are breaking tax laws left and right.
which relative?
kids crack e up
hi, lex
good for you - that is kinda important!
Hopefully by next year I shall have an easier time of it.
better to stay legal, red....
better to stay legal, red....
Hi Tea :) had to drive to reno on friday..was an interested weather day to be on Mt Rose!
I so would not want the IRS after me
Yes, I do not want to suddenly have to pay jillions in back taxes.
Last year they sent me a letter to verify my address, and I absoloutely panicked.
yes, Friday's weather was fun - the sideways snow was my favorite
c's d's & e's done! now the I's and j's
I have a goofy question...do I need to collect sales tax for the jewelry I make...very small scale operation...
ooh those la's! -- think I'll leave them till after supper!
irs contracted out collections -- a smaller percentage is getting collected at greater cost there is an immense pile of uncollected tazes
depends on your state rules, jellen, but most likely
I actually fear dealing with the irs.....
but that also means you shouldn't be paying sales tax on the items that you buy to make the jewelry
the only time the ATO looks into our taxes is when we are claiming from them! LOL
if i had the brain for it, tax law could just boggle me... much prefer constitutional law, though....
lets give a round of applause for commercialization of the government
it gets complicated! I specialize in small business, so this is my field - e me if you want
ATO - Australian Tax Office
So I need to file for a tax ID number, etc....
LOL, jmc....
most likely yes
hard for me to see how collecting more at a greater cost is progress
Thanks, TNC
collecting less, that is
sorry I forgot the ;-)
the bastards looked into our taxes in 2006... when we were claiming $1500 from them... they 'found' a discrepency in 2002 and we ended up having to pay them $9000
the correct term is of course privatization
ouch, Mr. P
the discrepency was only $5400
the rest was interest since 2002, even though it was found in 2006
that sucks, mrp
:-( mr p
privatization, deregulation... look where all of that got us....
the billions and billions that contractors in iraq have squandered lost or absconded with
That's great how they can charge you interest because THEY didn't find it till years later ..
yes torg... that is what hurt
TeanC -- I'd love to see your icon properly but it's GINORMOUS -- please click on mine to fond a great resizing site!
Ooough. Ok going to sleep good night Babble Buddies.

4 8oz packages Cream CHeese on way to mi]Lady...

I'm back and remembering why I don't make salmon cakes more often - I am on the "cool everything to room temp and put in fridge for half hour" part
oh but bird they are so worth it
oops -- timer beeping -- brb
Jilli, I am talking about the things you can "fly" in in a vertical wind tunnel
What is Jilli cooking?
JM are you here?
Mmm ..salmon cakes ..
and I have leftover salmon from the holidays
marinated pork chops and turkey soup, herin
it's okay herin, I still ad6 you, even when you are random
You know that fake cheese like Kraft? I want that. Except i cant eat it
looking for salmon......
yum, birdee.
always food talk here :)
I found a cream cheese with cultures in it....
in grid or in frid (ge)?
yuck, herin. pasturized plastic
herin are you making something or just hungry for cream cheese?
pam, sometimes I've found cream cheese with green cultures in it, in the back of the fridge...
Yep. Its gross but so tasty. I can't have it. I am eating a bowl of organic plain corn chips. I have topped it with Mozzarella cheese what i can have but thought that liquid cheese goo would be tasty
that cheese is one molacule away from being plastic
luv salmon, just not any here at the moment...
lol, jilli! Happens to me all of the time!
it does make good chili con queso
Hi mr PRes
what's your problem, herin?
hi infern
i've got a cheeseball leftover from Christmas, Herin..it's half cream cheese/half sharp...here...catch...wait...or do you mean like Cheese Whiz? Ew
i made brownies tonight with olive oil. so cani use them for the MUFA part of my diet?
mrp--how's the bionic arm?
hi mrp :-)
I can't have a lot of the soft cheese and milks. It makes me ill
ADHD, processed stuff aint good
MUFA?
hi, TO
there are some things that should just not be aerosolized...
I love cheese. Love it. But even a teaspoon of cream cheese lets ferrets loose in my stomach
hey TO
have you tried lactase, herin?
the bionic arm is really well thanks. The portacath wound is not... itching like heck!
I have Jill. I can have chocolate and stuff.
sweet bike mrp
glad the arm is doing well. Sorry about the portacath wound.....
Portacath wound try aloe vera on it
mrp -- sometimes scars take ages to lie down -- you must know that
mine still itches a little, and it was taken out ages ago...the skin gets thin
mono unsaturated fatty acid..anyone here read "prevention"? and please ac8 clue?
lactase is for milk, not chocs
jilli, this one is taking it's toll... I have to wear tape over the scar and I react to the tape
i occasionally read PRevention...
carob is the best sub for chocolate
JM - my apologies for this morning.
mrp i had double hand surgery and i never thought the scars would calm down, but it's amazing how they have healed (smaller scale compared to yours, obviously).
Tara wondered where you were
Mr pres can't you buy anti allergic tape?
ac+ **w your boat ashore + li****, fraser's exwife
sorry meant to say had the surgery this past june
had wrist surgery in March and it still itches
a + black bird (***w) + light spelt alt

I was met with reistance from child and from a sleep deprived hubby.
forget my ending... that aint right
Have a great first day back, Feather.
vitamin E and aloe vera, mrp
mrp -- would antihistamines help with the reaction to the tape?
ok down to 60 and I'm out for the night... i don't usually have the time to spend on longer puzzles, so this has been so great!
bye, jjks :-)
jjk and une, no matter where the scars, they are itchy buggers!
ty mr. p but it's not accepting it
Pure Shea butter is really good for scars too
oh yes they are!
oops -- timer again! Must put the veg in the microwave

ty Kazozz!
i am not allergic to latex, but I react to the adhesive in skin tape and most bandages.. Use foam tape now. expensive, but after my shoulder surgeries, I just can't do the other anymore....
Just read your profile, jmc..i'm starting grad school this month for non-profit management..am I crazy?

Looking now for something else Mr PRes as i remember something

Mr Pres its definatly not latex as Steristrip is latex free

wow pav, it's going to be much the same here in Washington too -- all but "basic education" (with no clear definition of that) is looking at cuts
OK, that did not work : )
8=) kje
i think the big cities have that welfare mentalit i.e., someoen will always bail them out so why economize? however, philly was overseen bya a state board in return for its last bailout.
and the new mayor seems to be floundering in that he is targeting the small fry for cuts.
will see where I'm headed much la5 this month...Phoenix hasn't had a bailout ...yet...!

exactly ruru... going to buy a lottery ticket
only to a sick mind ruru I was thinking homr made soup!
hamster sex and chicken carcasses
we actually have a chance against Pitt
you're exactly right pug
The Pats didn't blow it really .. it is the stupid NFL system that kept out a better team
precisely but Brady getting hurt early on was not good
I am just repeating what I am reading pugs... not really having an opinion one way or the other
that is so true westie
and now poor Matt can't be a free agent he'll have to settle for a 1 year contract at 14 million
when my sister was executive chef at the Waldorf she caught one of the prep dudes in the freezer "with" a frozen chicken
ALthough I have never considered hamster sex before..

oh no, sounds rough!
ok i will stop whinging now... at least we aren't getting blown up like people in the middle east, that is so heartbreaking
hmmm... that sure puts it in perspective
I hope that they can end this conflict soon
I keep sending love and peace and healing vibes to everyone there
so sad... and children being killed. it's just wrong, i don't care who thinks god is on their side
I think that more than vibes are needed there..
ok, here for the flip!
true, but I'm not ready to fly over and pick up arms, so I do what I can
Shame on Hamas for packing weapons around innocent people
here for the flip - had to take my neighbors trash out for her
