I thought you meant there were only 2 no7 words
no 7/32 and no 7/28 7/28 is a plural
no, sorry... just meant I had found 2 so far
good for you -- I'm blind as usual to the biggies
did I find what, DR?
it always takes me awhile to find big ones and often need help from morewords... I am better at finding 4s, 5s, and 6s on my own
your name... pi5
does the no7/32 come off of the same n as the no7/28?
I see Pipi...close...
you will see it eventually
no, first no is an "against" prefix... second is a common word no 6/18 and its plural
oh, THAT version!! yep! =)
no7/28 is not related to no7/28
oops meant no7/32
YEA!

anyone mention the pi6/7?
I believe it is lifetime
it is a one time payment kier
ya6
ty freep & hi

Not that much time LadyNatts

as 6 to veer away from good behavior to go as 6
as 6/24 - gone off the beaten track or a + st 5/14

i'm here, west... but not for long... it's 1:09 and I have to get up at 6 to let the dogs out, feed them, and make the coffee (never mind that I don't have to work tomorrow)
I'm still here - I was just changing my icon to my favorite phantom
hi bird and lady
a woman's work is never done
Hi West
and dogs don't know about days off
nor do husbands who work saturdays
I got NBT pretty early but I still have 76 left -
in a perfect world since he has to get up anyway...
exactly, west
do either one of you have the 8's?
I have 1
what does it start with please
Hi West, here briefly. I have one 8, ma 8/45
I have pa 8/50 - the deli meat
ma, west
thanks
I still have 80 to go
oh thanks birdeee!
lol ma and pa
Hi Sally - *looking for the ma8*
The ma 8 is plural of ma 7/32
got pa bird ty
think little green men from outer space....
don't have the 7 yet *now looking for the ma7*
ty ty
Hah! - found them
would love to go to bed with NBT, but alas, I don't think so
Thanks for the pa 8 :-)
what do you need lady?
the E, the Y in the 2nd column, and the bottom row N
bottom row n is na4/4 and it's a bablet
You guys rock with the clues...I keep leaving and coming back, thinking I'll just magically see things. I've never defeated a grid on my own, so I refuse to use the clue list...oi.
the e is eo 6/18
the e is a longtime and folksinging Sylvia's partner
not helping...that eo
one y is what you say when surprised
sort of like greek columns
that's from the 4th column... got that one
think long period of time and then and then the greek columns OR very early greek musical mode
the other sounds like a performer think he sings
or like female singer Mitchell
or a home permanent
trying to remember my art history, and the greek columns... I'm so tired that it's not coming to me
West - I have the eo word and I still don't get your clues! I am a dense one
for the y and n?
you're not dense I am a poor clue giver
Lady there are different kinds of Greek columns - doric, corinthian and one "other one" You put the eo words that means long period of time in front of the "other one" and mash them together
West - I usually get your clues right away!
once in awhile I get lucky lol
how about singer
Thanks, birdeee, I knew that... the only one I could think of was doric (which doesn't work here, btw). Corinthian, I didn't think of, and the "other one" is totally eluding me.
Bennett but the feminine version and change the first letter for the y
The singer is for a y word that I have
A lot of clues have to do with pop culture, or specific things that you may not know (of even heard of) based on your own interests and whatnot. Don't feel dense! I'm a junkie for random knowledge, and I still don't get all of the clues in here!
oh bird you just need the n?
and really, it won't kill me to go back to bed with a few blank tiles
you'll be up all night
Lady - still looking for the E?
I have NBT and I only have 2 n words from the lower left corner still before I grey all my n tiles
Oh.
Lady - I have another idea. take the eo* and think about the anatol*** plateau in turkey
we're going to throw a lot of fish at you when you get it
"longer than a millennium" + Janis ***
I hate to say this, birdeee, but I'm better off with greek history than I am with geography (at which I am pathetic- much to my late father's dismay)
Forgive me if I my spelling is off on the clue, I'm sleepy. Oh and yeehaw for me giving my first clue! *random glitter falls from the sky*
I thought since you are Canadian you would have heard of *** and Sylvia
probably before your time
oh ... musta missed that, west... ! got it now!
I love random glitter uni
West - for my remaining "n's" I am missing ni 5/10 and no 7/32
Me too *chases shiny things*
yay Lady!
Woohoo *ticker tape and cookies*
the only no's I have are things you buy in a sewing shop
you people are the best... but I need to go to bed (again). Damned cat woke us up, and I couldn't go back to sleep right away.
add 2 thousand pounds to the ni
but you know you love those animals
There's a No/4...hard to give a clue for though...
Night LadyNatts and thanks West - got it
Okay goodnight!
goodnight!
gn lady sleep well
gn too uni watch out for those sparklies
I have a no4/4 that is a german endearment for grandma
anyone have the no&?
I just got those there's a plural too
Oh, was saying goodnight to Lady...
well good glad you're still here
the 7/32, I have the no 7/28
you have the sewing shop items?
yes
I think babblerabble gave a clue for that at the beginning but I could not understand it
I have a german grandma, more than one german grandma, and ni + 2k lbs. The fourth worth from that N is making me ill.
something about phoneme twice removed
And no that's not a clue, just a sad, sad truth.
think of someone in tears and leave out the m
hmmmm I have one and I am trying to think of a clue -
it's the bablet
wait I think I'm steering you down the wrong path uni
ni 5/12 - think of ni + the most popular brand of easter egg dye with one vowel removed
trying to see the package in my mind
OMG *headexplodes*
Thank you!
Still trying to figure out what that had to do with someone crying, thanks though West *grins*
that's not pretty uni like the sparklies better
West - now I remember BR's clue for the other no 7 and I didn't get it either although I remember thinking that it was probably a word that started with non
he's usually a champion cluer
west google easter egg dye
OMG *headexplodesWITHGLITTER* Better? *grins*
ok
much better uni lol
LOL uni!
got the dye now what was the clue
nevermind got it ty
Ni + dye - a vowel.
weird word
Oh crap! Damn my antiviral laaaaag!
there are quite a few in this one
ya gotta love the internet....i never heard of anything about dyes for easter eggs...but put it into google and theres the answer...
4 kids and 5 grandkids here so I have
google is my friend
got the other no 7 *thinking of clue*
was it non?
Well, I was right about the beginning. so no* +not the future
ty bird got it
good clue would be present
all my n's are done - do you have them all west?
yes thanks to you
thought there was one more na7 but all my n tiles are greyed
back to looking for a's
are you using the list bird?
- just switched to it
66 left
69 for me
are you on the list yet??
not yet
going now I think
will definitely need it for the p's
me too - I still need 22 "p" words
hi there, mind if i follow you guys when you put up clues please? I've got 46 left so if I can help, just ask, but I've no experience at making up clues lol
hi welsh happy to have you here
i dont like 'y' words
Hi bookworm - we all do that! You can practice making up clues too - I am very new at this!
hi west
Hi briefly, just on over breakfast.
hi birdee, wouldn't have thought you were new at it lol
hi monkey how did walter's tv spot go?
haven't seen you since you were on the way to it
Hi
hi herin
Thanks bookworm -
Herin! Hi
New kitty herin??
howdy I had to move a kitten
Yes the new kitty
It went really well. He was shy about saying some stuff, but he perked up. He said it was sometimes fun, sometimes not so much, and he definitely wants to do it again. It turned out to be for a poem composed of around 60 people saying a word or sentence and then spliced together.
I hope you can post it
So he did well?
Where was this Monkey?
Yes, he mnee
Yes, he mnee
Oops... ... needed some encouraging but then he said what he needed to ("Ik ben stoer" etc) and had a good time. He got to keep the really nice pyjamas they dressed him in.
Birdee, this was a shoot for a TV spot for a major network here. Walter's first job.
oOH nice
Nice!
When we get a copy I will upload and send you folks the link, no worries.
that was in amsterdam wasn't it monkey?
OK now for kittys name: Lucius (Roman empire days) and if he whines Lui as lui always whines
Yes.
Nice, Herin!
and does Pandora love him already?
No she hates him but she and he are both out and on different sides of the room
our 2 females give our male a hard time too
If you have seen Interview with a Vampire you will get my reference to loui
thats because they are girls
Haven't seen it for many, meny years.
can anyone give me clues for the ar6 and ar7?
We will be getting a kitten at some point but we need to take some time to work this through and then I have a feeling the right one will find us.
it's where you put your deodorant
hah!
thanks west
another word for oxter/s
did your cat not make it monkey?
that was tuna-worthy!
If you look at my flikre pics the height that he is at 16 weeks to the table.
I love that word bookworm
lol birdee ;)
Monkey we were never going to get another cat just Pandora and he came to us
We had to put her down Thursday. The biopsy wound was interefered with by the cyst underneath and she was not comfortable nor was she going to be. A day later we got the biopsy results, and it was sarcoma anyway-- so any way you look at it we did the right thing.
that's how we got KC and Ruby
There's some stuff about her in my profile.
OH and i want a new kitten already as this ones broken. He is sleeping too much
you did exactly the right thing monkey no point in letting her suffer
Bookworm - often I sit and knit and listen to the BBC on the computer and sometimes I put on the welsh stories/drama at just listen like it is music - I like how it sounds!
No. That's right. And she was going to, but hadn't yet. Brought her body home for a day for the dog and Walter to say goodbye.
we've got no pets left now and the house is empty without a little furry one......but hubby says definite no while we are travelling. Guess he's right but grrr!
Now the dog is not looking for her. Otherwise she'd have looked for her for weeks and wondered why we weren't.
lovely eulogy monkey
a south wales accent can be quite soft birdee, and some mid wales ones too, but a north wales accent is much harsher
OK, must go. Have guests coming over this evening and Walter has a birthday party to go to first! Have fun, everyone.
Monkey that is very sweet memory
Thanks, folks. *Poof*
Maybe she was watching over us as we found Lucius on Thursday
my favorite scene from Zulu is the singing of Men of Harlech
I can tell there are differences but I mostly like the "music"
Have a good day monkey
bye bye Monkey
you know birdee, if you listen to bbc radio wales, there's a guy on there, name is Chris Needs....he ahs a 3 hours radio show/phone in and you either get to love him or hate him lol. Brilliant with all kinds of people though and he has done so much good through his show that he received an award from the Queen. It's on 10pm - 1am GMT
I ahve a very tired little kitten next to me anda grumpy one in the window
yes west, one of the actors n Zulu, a guy called Ivor Emmanuel, had his own tv show way back in the 60s....well I was very very young at the time so must've been about then lol
I usually sort by "drama" and listen to the Archers, mysteries and some of the serials and then they have welsh plays and dramas on.
my friend has twin grandsons Ivor and Seamus had never heard the name Ivor before
my favourite welsh play is Under Milk Wood
bird do you have a special band radio?
west - can you clue the an5/10, then I am done with the a's
you can pick up bbc on the internet west
thinking bird
bookworm I am listening to the world service program the Strand right now.
bbc.com and start exploring
ok now i have a kitten on my chest
an and first part of Thomas the Tank Engine
lol herin - cute
what he is
oh so you listen on your computer?
thanks west - forgot that word!
Yes! I listenon the computer - they have a lot of stations and you can also sort by the sort of program that you like.
herin your kitties are like salt and pepper
Yes cute but it makes it hard to type. The back of my top has ridden up and so has my pajama pants
SPy Vrs Spy West
yes west, i travel back and forth between wales and ireland, and when i'm in wales i can pick up the local radio station on the web for the area I stay in when in Ireland
yes lol
do you take the train?
when in ireland I can pick up radio wales via the satellite tv
AND I have always wanted a black cat with pumpkin orange eyes
were you asking me if i take the train west?
we were in London about 10 years ago and took the train from Euston Station through Wales then caught the ferry to Dublin
yes
it was a very pleasant journey
herin he'll be a good Halloween cat
Hes a good Goth Kitty
no need for a train.....my house in wales is only about 20 mins from the ferry port and we always take the car because i have to take my wheelchair and other paraphernalia so much easier to sling it all in the car and sail back and forth lol
He is named Lucius for a reason
if you crossed to Dublin west, then you would have gone to north wales probably, to Holyhead
that sounds like the most convenient way welsh
I go the south wales route, Pembroke-Rosslare and then when I get to Ireland, it's about an hour and a half to Kilkenny
I'm not sure we did stay on the same train
I'd love to see more of Wales
wales and ireland are very similar in many ways, countryside, friendly people
my husband wants to go to Scotland so I think a trip to the British Isles is in our future
the scenery on the west coast of scotland is fantastic
best to rent a car?
definitely
public transport would be very limited once you leave the main towns and cities
he did well with the steering wheel on the wrong side lol
I wouldn't even attempt it
funny that, we say the same about yours! lol lol
funny that, we say the same about yours! lol lol
any clues for co6/30?
I know not 'wrong' just opposite
Co entering words
must take some getting used to though, having to remember at junctions etc
thanks herin
thats ok due to kitten on chest I cant see my keyboard
car didn't have an automatic transmission either so it was pretty difficult
mine sat right on the keyboard the other night herin
Oh bless
that's a lot of changes to get used to all at once.....you should be able to hire an automatic if you book early enough though
on
he was pretty proud of himself until we hit the round-abouts
hi gladys
HI Gladys
oops sorry hi everybody
I can imagine.....roundabouts not always easy when you live there, let alone dealing with them for the first time
other drivers got impatient too
falling in love with herin's kitten......wishing for a kittie to sit on my chest or wherever it could fit lol
hard to have pets when you travel though
He is being a chin warmer.
you always get the bad mannered ones west, but they need to remember that there are times when they are on holiday and driving in a strange area too, they should be considerate
you're so lucky he's taken to you right away
indeed, no good having a pet until we settle down again
I wanted to put a sign on the car saying we were tourists lol
They always do West. If a cat wants you they will choose you
our KC hid under the island for 2 weeks only coming out to eat he walked down our driveway at less than 6 weeks
Same as their name
he was skinny and full of fleas and had most likely been abandoned
he's our fuzzy boy now
have you seen the website with all the cat pics on it herin and the comments along with the pics? Once you get used to the style of the "kittie speak", some of them are very amusing. http://icanhascheezburger.com
His tail is nearly as long as his body and his paws are two finger tips wide
he's going to be beautiful
YEs I read that every day
good isn't it? lol
A lol cat a day keeps the blues away
I'm going to copy that site we're all cat lovers in this family
well said herin lol
I took photos of him and the coffee table to show the height
that's so cute I'll send it to my daughter and granddaughter they have 5 cats between them
you soon get hooked on lolcats west! ;)
I love the other sites attached to it
the ones on today look like Pandora
the one under the curtain?
there's a mama cat and kitten and they're both white
I lost a lot of my awesome pics
what happened herin?
man this kitty is warm
nor i have to look
My old pc's mother board died. i have to take it appart and rehouse the hard drive which is a GIANT pain in my arse
that sounds complicated
Not really take apart laptop pull out motherboard rehouse hard drive um ebay pc for parts
curse allot at the unseen screw that is holding me back
my other half knackered his motherboard a few days ago trying to sit a SATA card......so we are waiting for replacement motherboard to arrive! Meanwhile he is a giant pain in my arse! lol
lol welsh
OH dear Welsh. My old laptop was only 2 years old crapped out 3 months out of warenty
oh my hubby is a compulsive fiddler......never content, always got to keep taking the damn thing apart and fitting this, changing that, buggering up all sorts lol
oh yes Welsh.
I just told the b.f were we rehoused the toilet paper whilst Lucius is in the bathroom. Kittens love to shred the paper
awwww lol
Well he has already pulled both towels off the towel rack to nest in, this is on top of my sateen blanket
mine just insist on coming in there with me
and the love of the household Miss Pandora has taken to hidding in the frount
it's like bringing home a new baby
West Lucius has to have some where to stay
one of the cats we had some years ago loved the bathroom, used to sit in the washbasin or at times he'd sit on the edge of the toilet seat looking for all the world as if he was "going"!!! lol
that will be his room until she gets used to him?
lol welsh hope you got a picture
no, sadly i never did. I wish I'd taken a lot more photos of the cats and the dog now
Yes West. If both of us are home they are both out in the lounge if one of us is home they get rotated. He will get his bathroom she will get the house. She will get the bedroom he will get the house
you have the pictures in your heart
no, sadly i never did. I wish I'd taken a lot more photos of the cats and the dog now
oops sorry, got very bad lag at the moment
happens to all of us welsh
How funny is a baby kitten having a tanty
wants more attention?
No i moved he yowled. I think his needle site is sore
oh well, i can feel the urge for a cup of tea and toast. Take care and catch you later when I've rested my grey matter and come back for another onslaught lol
Take care Welsh
enjoy welsh nice meeting you hope to see you again soon
herin how long have you had Lucius?
um he came home at 1230pm today
oh so he's brand new
yes he is. We are all settling in ok
Pandora will come around
She will she has to realise that thing that hisses isn't going away
when our Ruby had kittens they were hissing before they had their eyes open
it was so cute
baby kittens crack me up with hissing
I'm surprised Pandora isn't hissing right back
Oh she is when she sees him
the old cat still hisses at KC if he gets too close
he never hisses back he's such a sweetheart
nor
he is has an adult hiss its funny
was he in with other cats?
no
did you get him from a shelter?
he was all alone for 2 weeks
YEs we got him at www.petsathome.com.au
were you able to see pictures before you went there?
HTey are a shelter that also run pet stores. Each pet comes in with why they are there and each cat and dog s desexed and vaccinated. It cost us $130 for him.
we have something similar here my daughter got her 2 cats they were nine months old and had always been together but they weren't from the same litter
We went into the store on Thursday night to shop for random crap for Madam and we saw him and it was love at first sight. It took about 48 hours for our application to go through as someone else wanted him but didn't give a rats about doing it on time
they asked that they be adopted together
that was lucky for all of you then
See if i saw litter mates i would have to take them both. he came in with his sisters. He was the only one that came to the store about 2 weeks ago. As he is big no one wanted him, All the staff were saying ''oh you are taking Alfie home we''re going to miss him.
Alfie lol
what's it all about?
What do you mean?
has he been neutered already or did you get a certificate to get it done
from the movie and song..What's it all about Alfie?
one of Michael Caine's first movies
Everything was included in the price of collecting him. They really don't make a profit. I have no idea why they called him Alfie. Mum and i agreed it was a tad ''gay''
cats choose their own names
thank you i agree
Whats it all about, alfie? Is it just for the moment we live? Whats it all about when you sort it out, alfie? Are we meant to take more than we give Or are we meant to be kind?
hey bab nice song
Lucius is Lux in latin or light giver. Lucifer in Latin is Lux. Morning star. Fallen Angel
HI Babs
Oh great! I'm going to be hearing Cilla's nasal to4s all day now! LOL
Morning all.
Hi Jac
good morning jac
Hi Jac
gees just stop talking all at once
guess we did herin sorry
deep in the grid trying to find these crazy words
there is some odd ones
I need a cup with a sealed lid and straw
kitty trying to drink ?
I don't see why I should suffer Cilla alone.:-) http://tinyurl.com/9bqfrg
now I'll know who Cilla is
Cilla Black, Westford.
I tried madly to look like Cilla but just ended up like Dusty. Too bad I couldn't sing like her too
Dusty was great, lynxxx.
she's pretty bad isn't she?
never had the pleasure
West I need a drink and im flat on the couch with him stuck to my arm. I move he squeeks
Didn't stop her being successful, West.
HI Lynxx
oh no herin
hi Infernal
Do you mean Cilla Black?
a little too over the top for my taste
jac I thought cilla was your cat
I didn't think Cilla Black was bad (*i didn't see your tiny)
when you first came on you mentioned having to put up with her nasal to4/4
LOL, Westford! I don't think my Tiggsey (the tiger) would like being called Cilla. Godzilla, maybe, but never Cilla!
and we'd been discussing cats
I am so out of the loop I really have never heard of her
what else does she sing?
I came in just after the 'Alfie' discussion and when Bab had just sung the first verse.
West how old are you?
he has such a nice voice
I am 63
West - 'Anyone Who Had A Heart, You're My World' to name a couple.
they don't ring any bells
where is she from?
um I am half your age and I have heard of her
Herin - the 60s music didn't register much in the States at the time, aside from The Beatles.
I have pretty eclectic taste in music too
Cilla is Liverpudlian like The Beatles, West.
and the Stones
Liverpool...the era of the Beatles, Stones etc...guess that music didn't penetrate into the States much
Oh yes Sorry
Yes, and The Stones.
same era as the Downtown girl what was her name?
O dodm
Clark
the time was known as the british invasion
sorry. I didn't think of that.
ugh.. Petula Clark
I don't know where you got your info but I listened to those bandes
hi BabRab
dave clark five

Hi again Bab and Petula was ok
i saw her in Blood Brothers
noooo...lol
herman's hermits
Herman and the Hermits
snap bab
I said it wrong
with a touch...
I think he's making a comeback
fairy across the mersey
Mrs. Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter
that was another band
Ferry not fairy (well that depends)
peter noone
The Animals
lol thought of that too herin
there's a kind of hush....
'Furry 'cross the Merzee' when Cilla sings it. LOL
There is a house in New Orleans
My parent we HUGE Barbra fans
Georgie Fame !!!!!
I am too
she's her biggest fan
but she does sing well

Jazelle McKenzy
Snookie Lanson
Once there were greenfields, kissed by the sun; Once there were valleys, where river used to run; Once there were blue skies with white clouds high above; Once they were part of an everlasting love. We were the lovers who strolled thru greenfields.

Well, I do my best to reassure the parents.
hi lady

Clue for no7 before I go?
NM--I found it!
Bye kiddoes!
Sprite how you feeling today?

no 7 -- the present
hi BabbleRabble
Hello everyone!
no 6 --- a general understanding; pl
hi Brookie
hello
OH Sweetie. I don't know whats wrong nor do I expect you to say oh blar blah blah on chog. Just want to let you know that I am hear and send you a BIG hug
HI brooke
thanks for the hug and for caring, lady. I think some of what is happening could actually be good, btw. Haven't spoken with my sister in 8 years or so, she emailed me to tell me our mother is in hospital. Now we are talking. About the past too. Could be the start of something good, but it is... don't know the word.
oh
Sprite, it sounds like there was a silver lining with that clooud
that is very well put, Brookie, indeed.
eh, it's the best I can do at 6 a.m.
wow you must be really amazing at a later time ;)
my aunt always says one door opens another closes
Everyone is probably sick of hearing this but my icon is our new kitten Lucius
i hit my peak at 8 a.m., then it's all downhill from there :-)
yes, that's another way of putting it, herin
I don't handle stress too well. And there is a lot of it. Positive things can be stressful too and change always is. But I will think about the silver lining, that is a good image.
aw lady it is so cute!
I like to add to that saying just make sure your behind isn't in that door closing

Hi Brook
hi KristineN
hiya sprite
hi sprite
My net is running too slow again
kje, can you put me down as a maybe for 2/15?
does that happen often, herin?
it is going to be a great gettogether, kje! Wish I could come.
yes brookie! hope you can make it!
sned me your email address and i'll keep you in the loop
It does when i download too much
will do!
i love philly, brook... when i lived in b-more we would run up just for the afternoon to shop, eat, see some art, etc
I enjoy Philly too, kje. I think the city has made major improvements in the last 10 years. BTW, I just sent you an email.
ok, will make sure you keep up to date on the plans... are you on FB?
best margarita in philly is in a dive on south street
found a guy that won't stay home and he is not valid.
Good morning belatedly ... I've been checking out the grid a bit.
No, not on FB yet. Er, wait, I might be, because I had to sign up to get updates for my HS reunion. As you can tell, I'm clueless when it comes to FB! I'll have to check!
? sprite?
hi merk
Hi Merk
gm, merk
st5/14 + guy would have been a nice word, kje
can you explain, sprite?
hi Merk
lolol sprite... but who wants a st5man???
don't we want them to stay not st5?
lol nobody I think... that must be why he isn't valid!
I am very happy mine is st4ing around, that is for sure.
i am making buiscuits and they are starting to smell good... yum
well, technically buiscuit muffins... but even better cuz they are less work
biscuit ...oops
sounds good to me. My love just made all of us bacon and eggs on bread. Lovely lunch.
yum
see, no st5man there!
lol kje... your spelling could very well have been an enable alternate spelling. Didn't look too unusual for a babbler!
no he is a keeper! The love of my heart.
yes... it was sprite! yep, that's the ticket!
question
beep... brb
may sound funny but it is one thing I learned from babble. To never believe something is impossible before you have checked very carefully.
answer
About a week ago I sent a message to an old friend on facebook. Recently as of a few days ago his wife (who was my friend) has joined no response from either. Do i take that as a ) rude or b ) not interested or c) wrong email
Impossible to tell, lady. Perhaps you could drop her a message in FB and see if she replies to that?
maybe they hadn't checked FB since she joined, herin
That is what i am thinking. Its been a week but we all know the mysteries of FB
I think i will give it one more try then declare it as rude much
I got swamped on FB, it was too much for me to keep up with. I can imagine I am not the only one who finds that hard... you might drop her a note and say you don't mean to push, just wasn't sure you got through.
Thanks.
and if it turns out they're just rude, then they're not worth the energy thinking about... but I still think they just haven't seen the message yet
True. THanks
Maybe i can then put up a message on our highschool board
Its really funny that she was the ''naughty but not one to put out '' in school but she has only been with the one guy since high school and now they are married. Its like I was the good twin she was the naughty one and we swapped
wow, seriously delicious... wish you could all have some!
my weird brain keeps telling me I see 'ramifications'. It is not even almost there, jeeezzzzz.
KJE its you IT YOU that we get started about food. I blame you so there :P
yes herin... it is often me - LOL
*pinches a biscuit from kje's plate* Yummy!
Ok i think i may just do it
this is the easiest recipe ever, but so delicious when hot... like most biscuits though, not as good cold
just don't expect too much lady, then there is no harm in trying.
*amazed sprite sees ramifications... I barely see ram*
true. I just sent a hi saw your name in ??? and thought i would get back in touch. The very last time she saw me was many many years ago
morning
Hi Feather
morning feather
weed!!!
yeah I don't get it either. I have a brain that does lots of associations all the time. And the funny thing is, my daughter's brain seems to have the same.
hi feather
sounds very ok to me, lady. Well done.
it's cold in here! doesn't help that i left the flue open
well, light up and use the flue!
Oops, called away, but back again. Good morning if you were not here when I said it before.
Well we were good friends at one stage. There is only 2 more people that i wish to contact but they aren't there. The rest most of them can bite me
aw, all warmth sucked out? Blanket time, feather!
going to go to the mall in a bit to let the boys run
I would be very very picky about who is allowed to bite me.
LOLOL sprite... goo dpoint
oh feather... just open the door and let them run outside
Sprite what i want to say about these people is not G rated
ha kje!
then have hot cocoa waiting with they freeze their teensy butts off
*grin* just pulling your leg, lady
on the same note, herin, i'm a little anxious about my 20-year HS reunion coming up. i was pretty invisible in HS and fear I will be so at the reunion
-2, feels like -17 F out there
on the other hand, a brisk walk is great for warming up through and through, feather
buttsicles
well, brook, there are much worse thing sthan being invisible!
Brookie I think i would go with one of my male friends wearing clothes like M.I.B and just being a bitch. But I really hate these people they tortured me
buttsicles - LOLOL
yikes, feather... and I thought that 10 degrees was bad!
lol @ buttsicle
I am just greatful that the skinny ones got fat and had really ugly kids
you were teased in school, herin?
herin! LOL
Yes
I had not one friend in year 12
sorry to hear that. if I had gone to your school, I promise you I wouldn't have been one of those mean kids
but it sounds like you have friends now
you seem to be social
ok, better go hop in the shower. see ya later!
(((herin))) I think you are cool... plus you have the best hair ever! LOL
later weed!
have a good day
Yes social now as most people i know now aren't complete idiots
bye feather
it does help to be surrounded by quality people
KJE i had awesome hair then too
Brookie: you could bring along a few huge friends dressed up as bodyguards, let them keep a close eye on you and you just smile enigmatic whenever someone asks about them ;)
KJE and anyone else that cares: http://tinyurl.com/92fb9q me with long hair
that's an AWESOME idea, sprite! seriously, i just might do that... :-)
cool hair, both of you, lady, and such a beautiful face.
Brook I have a friend that is 6 ft 9
i have no real desire to go to a HS reunion... not that it was so horrible, but just b/c I have kept up with those that mattered, and really have nothing in common with the rest now, so why waste my time?
it will make sure you have a wonderful night, kje :D
That little girl is now um 19 i think
i checked out the photo, herin, yes, very nice hair!
what have you decided about the hair, herin... not seriously going to shave are you?
Because you then give them the up yours im awesomer speak
We never had a tenth reunion
I never went to my Graduation dinner either. Mum wouldn't let me play dress up Gothic
but honestly, i don't care enough to even "up yours" to them... I'd much rather go out with friends and share an awesome meal and a few good drinks... I think I am missing the "reunion" gene
co 6 clue please
sprite - do they have reunions where you live? just wondering how much of a british system/us thing this is?
don't have it yet merk
ack I have the other kittys hair in my eye
i don't have co6 yet either, sorry
eeew herin - ouch
co6= co+to write on a computer
plus... it is all too much to keep up with... HS reunion, college reunion, 2 grad schools... i say bag it all!
hey movie my man! Long time no see, how've you been?
thanks movieman!
ty movieman
Fine thanks sprite....yourself?
Used to it KJ said but true
no we don't have much of that, kje. I have organised one, not too long after hs.
trying to learn to be a stable point in the storm of life, movieman.
that is what i thought, sprite... i think this is a hold over from the old britsih system schooling where your schooling made you or broke you and those friends were your lifelong social set... just doesn't fit who we are anymore i think
HI Movie
i say bag it herin!
rebel against the british one more time!
I'm still attended the ole moviehouse on a regular basis, in fact gonna see 'The Wrestler' on Manday
morning everyone:)
*attending
hi cross
*monday
we are throwing tea overboard again
damn my slippery fingers
I agree, kje. Maybe our lives take us in so many more directions (and to greater geographic distances) than in the past, so our HS acquaintances become less relevant.
hey crossy *hugs* How are you?
*waiting for the brit lurkers to pipe in*
movie, sounds good.
ACool Movie. Hi Cross
hi crosshair
anyone have the other 8 other than the alien invaders?
crossy is not taking kje,s bait..was born there dont you know:)
yes, but you left cross! which makes you a rebel like us! lol
No it doesn't KJE and mostly its stupid.
hehe
but that is it, herin! if you feel that way, then don't go!!
I would go just to point and laugh. But on the other hand if this person doesn't get back to me im dropping out of the reunion page
pa 8
point... just have to eneter it somewhere that will actually accept it!
ty dippnall
never go to reunions and never get drunker than your boss at company parties
good advice cross
Cross that would be too hard with my b.fs boss
also - don't eat yellow snow
indeed
No yellow snow is not banana flavoured
LOL herin - nope
or lemon for that matter
gotta go... hope to return later today!
Best wishes Brookie
bye brook
Can i have a clue for the PA 8 please
OK, starting this one with my first cup of coffee, should have time to complete it!
hi red... i am enjoying coffee now too... and fresh baked homemade southern biscuit muffins... want some?
Hi red
hello everyone!
howdy annie
annie!!! hi
I have blue berry muffin baking with strawberries stuck in there too....
HI Anie
kje, enjoying my peet's coffee
Trying to avoid fat.
it is a baking kind of day, isn't it red?
so glad annie... i think it is the best
Its sort of a freezing cold day yes, good for baking!
Man no i want waffles anf my homemade jam
OMG red... propofol??? wtf?
kje there was a drug theme day a few days back.
clue for the pa8 plz
well herin... go make some!
but propofol?????? egads!
Its 1219am. I will open the Jiffy mix in the later am
I like propofol, it is a handy drug for intubated patients. Prevents all sorts of bad things from happening and lets people pee green.
eww red
well, I was going to get up and get some breakfast, but now I have a cat on my arms.
it is ok for short term... but some use propofol drips in ICUs and such for long term sedation, and can have nasty side effects...
mm next time i have a gardfen hose rammed down my throat ill have to ask for it
from the deli movieman
no cross... don't... skip the propofol
Thanks Dip I didn't see that ending
ty again dippnall
thanks dippnall....delicious on rye
ahhhh - ty!
someone say rye?? crossy smiles and holds out a glass.....
bbiab
everything when used long term has bad side effect, but I should change the icon now.
LIndy Its that kind of day. One just got put to bed so the other madam could have her place back
Oh goodness, its my Icon theme day (I suggested it ) Please post your favorite phantom word. Off to get the one I see very very often!
I love this theme, red, and only wished more people would show us their favorite phantom for today.
morning.. just here for two minutes
g'morning
hi Dorens
I wanted to show off Lucius kitty
hi sprite,I am going to get my favorite one which is rodeo. I always see it.
yay red :)
*ahem*, as i said, good morning
NUTTTTTTTTTTTIE
gees i blink and I miss the NUT
good morning Babblers :)
morning nut, sprite, etc
Herin you got your black kitty!
nice lucious ferny
nutty! hi had missed your first post
hi Nut!
I realise I have picked a babblet and not a phantom. Tsk.
We got the kitten Yes.
oh. mee too. i thought it was supposed to be babblet... never mind
i'm sneaky...i gotta put up a picture of waffles, he just moved in last night
Sprite! lots of people have babblets as phantoms, I like the one you have.
and its Lucius not the Malfoy variety
I now have the bucking bronco show.
herin,just looking back on the chat,you did get the kitty?
brb, gonna try and put waffles up
Yes we did Cross
ok, waffles should be up
our new kitty "serius black" is currently losing his mind playing mousie
thanks red! I think I will keep it. I can honestly say that inia is a phantom in today's grid... I tried it!
ours in in the bathroom away from grumpy]
SPrite how are you? I am missing you most days.
NUt what is waffles? your profile is teasing me
brb semi-poof
red: lots of things a-happening atm and I am finding it difficult to cope. But some are good things! Am speaking with my sister again, or perhaps I should say for the first time in our life in a good way. And that is something precious. How are you doing?
I am good, still trying to get house ready for sale. Good to hear about sister. My sister has been talking with me more this year, though...I am not sure its a good thing. Lots of quiet time helps me cope with "stuff"
waffles is a abandoned black and white kitkat
pa 8/50?
nooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrr
nm
Nut can you please go to your account and F 5 it a couple of times so i can see the kitty
Waffles looks like a very curious and fun cat.
nor? as in this nor that?
Good Morning Everyone!
nor as in cute
I see waffles. Cutey.
hi Car!
hi eeyore
nor as in look at the kitty so cute
ok, i refreshed ferny, but it was coming up for me already when i clicked my icon
they had to buzz off half of his fur because of the matting
Oh for heavens sake, Today show is saying home values have really dropped...I gotta get rid of that house.
I keep getting a kitty in a filing cabinet. HI Caree.
they have dropped so much in parts of the states red,that you may be better off to wait for the upswing
ok, the cat got off my arms, so I have food now. and, more importantly, coffee!!
poor red
I cant continue to pay the mortgage and live here where its warm Cross, I have got to sell it. I just want to break even....soooo.
wtg aslindy and hi
unless you can live with 20-35% loss
lindy, coffee is lovely.
ooop, he keeps going where he is not allowed yet
hello everyone =)
Coffee..yes, I could use a refill! ;-)
Well, the odd thing is that homes in my neighbourhood have sold for the same or higher prices than 3 years ago...
caught our new kitty on top of the fridge...bad kitty
Nut it isn't working :(
Pours coffee for Car.ee.
mm then dump it fast if prices are holding
That is because YOU live there Red! You have increased the quality of your neighborhood!
Crossie he is named Lucius meaning Latin for Light
Car! I have not actually lived there for about 1.5 years now!
TY Red! *drinking lovely hot cup of coffee*
did you try refreshing me? cleaning out your cache?
a black cat named light... lol
he looks a little funny cause his bottom fang is groing straight out to the side
Because of the Universities and Hospitals...people are still moving in and out.
your lucky then red
ok, i've learned he likes fuzzy mice toys
I hope I am lucky. Cross, I am very nervous. Repinted the whole thing to sell it and did a buch of home improvements that I couldnt afford when I owned it!
you using a realtor or doing it yourself?
we have 2 catch who actually play fetch with the fur mousies
ferny, if you go on facebook, i posted a picture last night
Remax. She has handled all the repairs and painting, a very competent lady. I'm so far away...that I could not manage without her.
thing is if it doesnt sell, I am going to be annoyed because I am not that fond of the new paint scheme.
cause the crunch is coming,locally we have lost 8 businesses and a glass plant and a engineering firm that had 85 employees and there is no end in sight
funny thing is in the resort end of things(of which i am a part of) business is booming
am away from chat for a bit, back later :)
the rich continue to be rich it seems
i think cross, a lot of people are in denial...
as we have a population of 16 thousand here,as of now 1/8th of our work force has been ladi off ,fired or on work slow down
the pa8 is a deli meat
kant ! thanks!

no 7,32 clue please
Plural of the NO 6/18
that's no7/28
I have that one. It's the 7,28. I need the no 7,32.
or are the 2 no6/18?
DUH! You are correct! So Sorry!
clue for the no 7/28?
coffee calls . . . BBL
no7/32 - either the present or the future
no6/7 rhymes with liquid you put on your skin to moisturize
thanks, Une....should have seen that one...fish me
no 7, 32 uses the first three letters of the no 4/5. Then you add the word for the tense of what happened yesterday.
:-D
TY!
what a strange word! tx
crossy is back with tea and english muffies for all:)
good morning everyone - this grid has a word that reminds me of a silly joke I heard in New Mexico:...
*holds out plate for a muffin*
what do you have if you have three pi** nuts in one hand and two pi** nuts in the other hand,?
Well, let's hear the joke
a difference of a pi5/12 !
what?
(you have to say it with the spanish ñ
...
I'm not hearing the crazy laughter I heard from New Mexican 3rd graders
Good one. And I didn't have the pi5/12, so thanks.
Hi Vicuna
That was so cute JBV.

mrs crossy and i send best wishes for hubby and yourself jbv
we have a local story here that I don't know if you've heard on national news - about the dolphins in the Navesink river in NJ?
(and thank you, Annie)
were they on the plane???
they've been there since the summer - lots of fun watching them, but they are trapped,can't find their way out to see, and the feds refuse to rescue them, they are doomed to die
(and thank you cross and missus - that means a lot)
dolphins in the Navesink river.....that is odd..what happened to them
*sea
jbv, where was your icon photo taken? it is beautiful!
The pa 6, 30 was new to me, too. It means a pagan or heathen.
That is very very sad...jbv
Trif, that is a special spot we love in the rain forest in Puerto Rico (El Yunque)
Merk...may I have a clue for it?
looks so peaceful....

eo 6/18 (everlasting, eternal)
thanks lori - what a weird word!
TY Lori!
Hi Lori! thanks!
He's OK... it really hit home for him today though, so he's having periods of melancholoy. Thank goodness there was a birthday party to scoot off to, one of his best school friends is 5. It's really taken his mind off it all.
Hang in there Monkey..
y v w
and how are you, dear one? I read your bio, which says a lot, of course. there is a strange sort of emptiness in the house, isn't there?
ty lori
Thanks. We're doing OK but admittedly feeling pretty down. The dog is sad too. We'll be OK.
Missing a 7, is there a 7 among the s, if anyone knows?
sending you big warm hugs from very cold US....
I must be off for a while, bye, dear babblers
Thank you! It was the only thing to do. We had to put her down a day befor the biopsy results, because the cyst part was interfering with the biopsy site, but then the results came back sarcoma so there would have been no other choice either way.
Bye Annie!
Happy flying Annie. :)
bye annie! take care....
sorry about your kitty, MG...poof
can someone clue the co6 pls?
No 7 amongst the s words
co+ to write on a keyboard
I don't have it yet Rolin

Thanks muchly Sandy! That returns me to my frustration... :D

Have a good one rolin.
bye rolin!
bye rolin....... hi Lori sorry I was afk for a bit
afk?
away from keyboard
thank you. still learning all the shorthand....
the mi7 plz
Has everyone remembered to ty4 "etna" today, just in case?
Hi All. Monkey will you be getting another kitty?
LOL vicuna!
It isn't there, of course. But you should try it daily anyway.
Especially on your favotie Phantom day!
Hi Red! Yes, but not immediately. We will wait until either the right one finds us or it just feels right, in the latter case going to th erescue shelters.
loll vicuna - i do that more with the black goose....
our new rescued kitty is a holy terror lol
I imagine Walter would have a very fun time going to the Shelter!
monkey, keep an eye on the dog- our went in to a serious funk when we lost our kitty, as it kept him company when we were out. that, more than anything else, fueled our decision to get a new one
But Walter did read an invisible book to himself partly out loud earlier that was about goping to get a new kittycat, so it may be sooner than we think...
oh Monkey so sorry for your loss of your pet. I too had to put down my beloved Kittles just yesterday because of kidney failure
delayed lol Nono, you got the jargon down baby! :D
oh nono! ((((HUGS)))))
the mi7 plz
Nono, I am so sorry!
Oh Nono, sorry to hear that.
Yes, Saskia is down but not moping. I brought the body home so she'd know what happened and not go looking for her. She misses her, but as I speak she is lying on her back playing with her poiece of blue cloth.
Vic has a standing policy of trying etna on ever grid. G'd morning Vic
Oh, Nono, I am sorry!
Hello, Lori.
Losing a pet is always hard. :(
Sorry about the beloved cats, Nono and Monkey.
the mi7 plz
yes, sorry movie man - i am trying to find it, but dont' have it yet....wasn't ignoring you, tho of course it looked that way...
I dont have it et MM sorry.
Yes. This is Walter's first time... he's doing OK though. I just remond him now and then that it is OK to be very sad and it will feel batter after some time has passed.
Wow! Just pulled up the list! I never knew there were so many PI words in existence!
mm, mi + ti** (small) + V**couver Canada, then plural
Very sorry Nono and Monkey. I have two kitties (lost a third one about 2 years ago). Animals are such a big part of our lives. It is very sad when one leaves you.
the mi7 is a pl of the mi6/27
TY Lori!

Any time, dear, any time.
Hi Sprite!

thanks all
Hello, Sprite.
He's OK. Having periods of melancholy of course, bu I just dropped him off at a birthday party he's been looking forward to all week so that should help. He has a new favoprite movie, too, and at this age that can be a big help, something new to watch.
He woke up a lot the first night, and he seems very tired, so I know he's working through this.
oh yes it can. Great going, mum :)
It's Wall-E.
just stopped in.... and am starting the grid, but Nano and Monkey I am so sorry for your losses. hugs
Thank you.

I mean the pl of the people would be normal. Got myself all imbrangled there.
Oops, had a phone call. Back for a couple mionutes now.
yay crossy
thank you sprite
Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels. I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help her. I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn't be afraid. ....
As she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a little accident I had in the back of my cage. I didn't want her to know that I hadn't been walked today. Sometimes the shelter keepers get too busy and I didn't want her to think poorly of them. .....
As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn't feel sad about my past. I only have the future to look forward to and want to make a difference in someone's life. ....
She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds at me. I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the bars to comfort her. Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for companionship. ....
A tear fell down her cheek and I raised my paw to assure her that all would be well. Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright that I instantly jumped into her arms. I would promise to keep her safe. I would promise to always be by her side. I would promise to do everything I could to see that radiant smile and sparkle in her eyes. ...
I was so fortunate that she came down my corridor. So many more are out there who haven't walked the corridors. So many more to be saved. At least I could save one. ....
I rescued a human today....
aw crossy, that is so beautiful! And true :)
the end with a picture of a puppy or a kitty
That's sweet, Cross!
Great story crosshair!!!!

Oh TY Cybernan! I finally got it!
ya 6: ya + m**tel (fireplace) + **venous hunger
I was trying to rhyme it with OMMMMMM
Cyb, that is a good clue
it's a cool word. I like that one
yw -- I didn't have it either until the original clue -- didn't even have the ommmmm
whoa - have just been handed a teeny kitten - what are they doing out and about???
phantom: jejeunosity
and just as quickly, it is whisked away again...apparently they are being given 'house tours' - how funny!
oh, yes, babble, I keep trying to enter that too (roll eyes)
yeah that is a bugger
it does always amaze me how the same word can be made more than one way in a grid...anyone else notice that?
sure do, Trif, and it always makes me enter the word twice or thrice because I think it is a new one.
yes
time to take care of some laundry bb in a bit
bye nono!
drifting off to sudoku
am quite enjoying our new washing machine. Makes less noise, cleans better. Only downside is it beeps.
have fun inge
okay, I need to go too - at the very least have to address the fallout from the flooded washer yesterday...still wet towels everywhere....

Ooooh Yuuuuuck Trif.

Good morning all...Car did you go to sleep last night?? I'm checking on Mom today she can't get out of the driveway
Yes, I did sleep. I just crunched through the grid this morning. I can go by and salt the driveway for her once Matt gets back with the Jeep.
She has salt and she says she doesn't need anything she just wanted to go to the gym; I think I'll take her with me
K. I just tried M on the cell, but he didn't take it with him.
does any one have the last co please
co+ what you do on a keyboard

I discovered yesterday that babbling while enduring the ebbings of a migraine is particularly difficult. I discover today that babbling the day after a migraine seems equally difficult!
is that a no??? was i just rejected???
I said ty! :P
yw ata
e?
oh ata feel better have a coca cola.
she didn't say yes!!
nip
a
I know katie... I was politely rejected... I CAN read between the lines ; )
thank you is a good way to accept!
awwww beagles on TV. I love beagles
so she says kje so she says
why does ata need a coke?
yes katie... I just responded to several emails on a personals site with thank you... it is NOT an acceptance - LOLOL
tis in Jane Austen language!
aaahhh... no worries then... I am pretty certain NONE of those guys had read Jane Austin... whew!
looooooool
lol kje.
as in "will you dance with me?" "thank you, Mr Darcy, I would enjoy that" ahhhh that's your problem, you need men who read literature!
yes ata! send them my way when you find a few
I wish coniption was allowed
that would be helpful... as I am having one
shoot! i just saw the time! must run and get my hair cut... will come back when I am beautiful : )
you're already beautiful to me, kje!
easy for you to say Lady! you've never seen me ROFL
later gators - poof
the real beauty is inside...
when I was online dating I had a complete wierdo but I didn't want to be banned from the site as I had started to talk to hubby so instead of telling him to f*** o** I had to say that I didn't feel we had a connection!
how very delicate!
I think that must have been interesting. I feel no connection....
It took me hours to think of it!
I couldn't get the initial response out of my head
not surprised!
why was he a complete wierdo?
he wanted to be my teacher
ooo!
and we would work to overcome the issue of me liking his music
whaaa?
This was his first email, I had never spoken to him and have no idea how bad his musical tastes were
LMAO well!!!
they must have been bad if he knew in advance you weren't going to like them LOL
he sounds clinically crazy, or he forgot who he was mailing!
it also appeared that he was asking me to be his wife but that was open to interpretation
how very forward
haz would be horrified
I kept it for ages as it made me laugh soooo much. It was that bad I thought it was a scam but friends who saw it said that he was indeed just clinically crazy
I would?
PHone.
at katie being asked to be someone's wife on first email. sounds like something that would shock your sensitivities!
In our first emails by total contrast Hubby & I said that there was no such thing as 'the one' and neither of us believed in love at first sight..........
.........engaged 5 months later :-)
loooooool fab!
Oh how we have eaten those words!
lol I bet!
One of my friends is now internet dating and laughed when I told her there was loads of nutters out there and she had to be careful and take things slowly.
Love at first sight is one thing, sight unseen and personality unknown is quite another.
internet is how I met my hubby
quite Haz. And I did have safety mechanisms for our first few dates just in case.
Ejector seat at the restaurant?
See happy stories everywhere :-) As our friends would say, it's amazing what you can buy on the net
Trap doors through which to fall?
a Tardis in the corner?
Lol Haz I should have thought of that, more people knowing where I was and who I was with and what time I would be phoning to say I was safe. I didn't use Mari & Mr Mari in case they took the table next to us to make sure I was safe ;-)
Shaven headed aggressive looking men at the standby?
They'd have worn disguises, though, wouldn't they?
*unlurking* this is the FUNNIEST conversation... (says the woman who hooked up with Tom the day after swearing off men "forever"...)
Actually, it could be a service provided to dating folk.
No Katie they would probably have sent us
LLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLL Norma you may indeed have been drafted in :-)
No maybe about it lol
*strange woman in peculiar hat and large glasses sits down next to Katie and glares at the date du jour*
hi all. I met ken through match.com, although he llived around the corner from me and I had known his wife (deceased) for years, been in his house and all
Laughing so hard!
hey dorens!
Oh Dorens, we used match.com as well :-)
we might have gotten around to considering dating each other at some point anyway, but not sure.. However, when he contacted me, he had a pretty good idea that I was me , or I was I, or whatever
I did go on chat rooms as well, usually it took 3 questions before I was asked either for my bra size, a topless photo or if I had a web cam. There really are some forward people out there
Tom and I are pre-internet... sorta. 18 years ago it was still mostly BBS and such...
that is such a nice story Dorens
98% (at least) are frogs, Katie
wow katie! *very glad to be from the old school dating ... "met through friends" ...*
were you asked that on Babble too? Which male was the perviest?
actually we dated for about five months, then stopped... someone swooped in and married him, it took two years for them to figure out what it was a mistake he'd made, and then we got back together. Round 2 is very pleasant
When I first started to go out it was such a culture shock, when I was young you didn't leave your drink in case someone nicked it, 14 years later you didn't leave your drink in case someone spiked it!
must have been men who are no longer around
The only man I talked to on babble & MSN was Mikey, and we can safely say that he wasn't intrested :-)
LMAO
nooooooo
but he was a good friend, made me laugh and taught me to use MSN, I do regret losing touch
I wonder where he is now
I don't know why he stopped playing
In Berlin of course.
Ata annoyed him.
Mikey used to lurk, he was offended by something someone said in the chat
It's all her fault.
LOL
blame FM
can't it be fmitch's fault? i thought everything was hers
talking of fault I haven't see FM for ages
was it Hurshy he really really disliked? I can't remember!
he better have!
hahaha her legacy lives on though
blame me, actually -- apparently he didn't believe that I had no control over what others said in the chog!
hello hurshy!
yes, come and chat FM, I know you're lurking. Just for a minute or two
don't you stid?
now that to me is someone who is overly involved in the chat.
hello
hi hurshy, hi fm if you're out there
hello dear red!
It was all to do with jibes from Noblelover, a callow youth who insulted Mikey for using German.
ohhhh Noblelover! yes!
LOL well, I suppose if I had been on at the time and if I had really wanted to use my magic powers... oh well.
I had forgotten noblelover!
Using German in the log. Nobleloser, as Mikey named him, objected to him using German, thought it was showing off. Mikey *wasn't* impressed.
When the rest of the chat log members didn't rise as one in his defence, Mikey got upset.
i had forgotten noble too! *shocked at self*
hope nobleloser never said that to Inge
Not that I take any interest in the log at all, you understand.
I think inge was the other person speaking at the time...
how could we forget noble!!
how is using your own language showing off, being able to do babble in a second language surely is far more of an accomplishment
LOL Haz! of course not -- you are obviously distracted most of the time you are here...
Noble was just foolish, but instead of laughing it off, Mikey just got more and more indignant.
I think it was more than he'd use it a lot in the chat so no-one else could understand
I must have dipped out during the noble months, either that or I have blocked them out
oh no... Darth Dude, Dc Seain and I were using some spanish the other day. I suppose we were showing off.....ah well...
Wow! It looks like I missed loads while I wasn't playing much!!
hello
he could take things to heart at times
hey harp! hey tinks!
I do not recall him, but I recall Mikey.
oh this was a couple years ago tinks...
Absolutely stid - I retain very little detail.
actually, i am not sure noble even really thought that using another language was showing off - mikey's entire personality irked him, so he just said whatever came into his head
Noblelover only appeared for a few days, he wasn't a long term player.
Oh - before I started getting overly involved in chat then
before my time, i retain little detail, but beefs like that stay with me
Mikey was definitely one of those ppl you either loved or hated
it clearly worked hurshy
it is unsurprising that a straightforward teen boy would find mikey irksome.
I'm popping in like harpjane to say a little 'hello'. I'm enjoying all the chat! I never knew Mikey or Noblelover
Well, I dont really see a point of having a "conversation in another language" that no one else can understand, or few people can...
hello hydra!
*has a sudden vision of Mikey and NancyBoy in the same chat*
Hi stid. Hi everyone.
LOL ata
*gasp* you did NOT just say that ata! rofl...
hi Hydra.
hi hydra, tinks, red and anyone else
people do drift in and out though, I was really friendly with armygirl last Christmas but haven't see her for over a year
well, it's like when I use French with Une, or German with inge... it's fun to touch base with someone who doesn't mind practicing
they'd try and outflounce each other :)
sorry - should say hi all - i get distracted and keep losing track of the chat
(Nancy Boy would win)
you showoff, stid...
yes, he would!
red - Mikey just conversed a little with inge and other German speakers - a mild irritant at best to those who didn't know what they were talking about.
it would be a very very strong completition but it depends how much humour you want. Nancy is very funny
noble had trouble getting the hang of being polite to people in general because he was so high-spirited. i remember now, because i chatted with him off-site and we had a code word that i would say in here to tell him to pull back on his humor
Oh for that I could care less.
people can speak to others in a variety of languages...
'Shut up'?
LOL Haz
it was something cunning. ish.
shut up is probably too direct!
Well, as long as it was in English and not some pesky foreign language.
it's funny but I remember so few people from the start of my babble life, Hurshy I do remember :-) I used to play very late at night because I was training Fuggles
fermez la guelle
I have fun trying to decipher things when people are conversing in something I used to study... but then I don't ever mind just asking what a phrase or word means (nosy me)
Dorens!
LOL shut your trap???
Ok Dorens, very sorry!
hahahaha
well you know, at the time i was working with teen boys, and while many people thought noble was just plain rude, it did seem to me that he was not trying to be rude, but was just ... high-spirited... so i tried to help him fit in. i'm rather sorry he didn't stick around.
high spirited is good terminology, hursh. he probably would have benefited from more contact with you
Alas, plain speaking is not fashionable.
speaking as a mother of teen boys... I do the same when I can hurshy -- it's a good thing to try to encourage young people to improve their communication skills
apart from trolls it's a shame to lose everyone, diversity is why this game is so good
he was too high-spirited but they was nothing nasty about him at all
*anyone
I want "tapir" to work...
but we've certainly had worse
i don't know.... some people who have problems with talks about politics or anything where there are two sides...
stid, you can have tapip!
so katie remembers me from early on... praps "hurshy" is just a very memorable handle
nah hursh, it isn't the handle, it's the wit
and you happy about your kitty being in the grid?
or something similar... thanks dorens! halfway!
of course ata :)
*are you happy!
thankfully the election is pretty much over. It was a difficult chat time and a few people did make me very annoyed.
(Now searching in the memory banks for 'those who have been worse')
you were always very kind when I was getting the hang of the game and trying for fireworks at 1 am in the morning whilst trying to catch fuggy and get him back in his cage :-)
I cheered when I saw him :)
I don't like it when people do "name calling" in the chat log or are demeaning.
i think everyone is entitled to their opinion... I might not agree or like them, but when people say we can't discuss a subject, that bothers me
Oh stid I tried tapir tooo, its phantom day so very appropriate.
there are those who would be surprised to hear me remembered for kindness! lol
there was a young person about the time madi started who had a lot of trouble with being polite...
the worst is just when you get a BUNCH of kids who know each other
yes!
There you go then, quote me if needed in the future
that's the time to concentrate on the grid, then
My problem with the political talk was that it was so relentless. It was also so heavily skewed on one side that it must have been intimidating to have had a different point of view.
oh -- tyop is in the grid. so I had better be careful how my figners work today!
That's when I feel really old as I have no clue what they are talking about
nut used to scare me silly... she would come in, and I would LEAVE.
Just be glad, Katie, just be glad.
poor Nutty!!!
stid? intimidated?
There was a young girl with a trauma a while ago, the men were fantastic at getting her to see her dad's side, I was just happy to be old
why?
Madi's friend - Sarah somebody? She was all, like, whatever.
Lawyer1 used to scare me cos he was so darn intelligent
yes i remember... sometimes madi would scold her
I know Dorens, I can walk up to a teen boy who is MUCH bigger than me and tell him to pick up his garbage... but I am not good at other sorts of confrontation.
Anybody else need smelling salts?
Ata - scared of intelligence?
i just wish the nice kids would stick around. bex hardly ever plays, and i do miss scribble too!
yes, and there was a girl who had some sort of "christian" name who came in and tried to proselytize... THAT was annoying.
lawyer1 was *hyper* intelligent!
how about mousy? (and yes, haz, i wondered about that)
I don't think anyone has scared me, I don't like confrontation so if there is a squabble I usually lurk for a couple of days until it blows over
what about that smart-assed ruru?
mousy, lol, he was a kick. i actually have a favorite WWE wrestler because of him...
Of which mousy do we speak? Mousy, Mousy 1, Mousy 2, Mousy 3?
I miss mousy...
oh yeah, him too!
Looking for a martini in this grid
he never got me to WATCH it, of course
oh that ruru! he is something else...
was bex the young one who was bullied at school but really really bright and fun?
it isnt there sadly neither is martinet
oops. YOU CHANGED YOUR ICON! you stinker!
but i recognize the guy on the commercials
It's a good job ruru has left, isn't it?
bex was not bullied
what happened to mousy?
hello ping!
hi friends
Are you thinking of Miyavi Fan?
you can't bully bex, she's very sturdy.
yeah.. good riddance I say..
bex was lovely, from newcastle area
Mousy got over-cloned and ran out of strength.
hi stid!
mousy did hve several names as I recall
I liked miyavi fan -- it's been AGES since was non
Hello Ping.
good way of putting it haz. hi ping
LOL ruru -- so which puppy is this today?
hi haz
Yes, that ruru. He was a case.
She was about 14 and played after school. I think she had a tough time at school but loved coming on the grid
I can't remember ruru, what was he like?
the thing that really impressed me about bex was that she dated some boy who was getting too clingy and she just said, i'm not putting up with THAT. she's so centered.
I think it was Miyavi. She had a fascination with all things Japanese, didn't she?
Ruru? Hard to describe. Words aren't my forte....
Ruru are the puppies here?
oh ruru -- he was, um... peculiar. but in a sorta nice-ish way if you could get past his bristly outer shell
that ruru was always making disparaging comments abouit president bush...
yep I think you are right Haz, I know Mari used to worry about her school life
and then there was the whole lemon incident.
lemon???
There was a big drama about a Japanese boy -she got very upset.
p -QU-ELLE- IAR is right stid
this ruru is the only one that i remember
Do you remember the details, hurshy?
*grin* so ruru.... HOW OLD IS THAT PUPPY>????
some...
I'm sure Mari warned me about strange men and puppies
Something to do with meeting him online, him being bullied, him having leukaemia etc.
This one is six weeks old
is it your new baby?
Or justone of the litter.
.....he's going to offer sweeties soon!
ruru it is sooo cute
And in ruru you have a strange man with potential puppies. The very worst.
oh gosh, yes, I remember that now
no ..not yet..
very sweet, ruru. *mama heart melts*
lemon (i forget his full name) was presented as a japanese boy whose family had moved to england. he and miyavi therefore had a lot in common. and yes, he had a lot of problems. but then it became a question as to whether lemon was even real, or a creation of miya's. to this day i can't make up my mind if i think he was real or not.
but ruru is it the one?
There was a big denouncing by someone we had never heard of.
Oh I remember that now, he was soooo made up
no.. he hasn't been conceived yet
(speaking of "true love" and "finding the perfect match")
yes, that was peachykeen.
I suspect he wasn't real
The very one! hurshy, you obviously pay as little attention to the log as I do.
i do believe miya's teacher came on and indicated to us that lemon was not real.
was she rolin's student, or someone else?
Ahhhh, I thought since you said Puppy later in year it was a bit early.
I think the inference was that he wasn't real but that Miyavi didn't realise that he wasn't kosher (is that mixing metaphors or something?)
She was rolin's student, yes.
who got their class to play it in Australia and all hell broke out?
did she ever come back as limey?
i'm not sure... i was left with the impression that he WAS a second account miya had created.
Xanika
miyavi was near the bunsfield chemical plant that went poof. or however it was spelled
oh i tremember that katie, but not the teacher's name. that was terrible though
and Miss Abs
Let me have five minutes to hyperventilate at the memory, Katie.
I wonder sometimes if Ruru ever existed...**looks down at Navel **
looking back it was really really funny, what a stupid thing to do!
and during the whole debacle someone accused ME of creating a second account and BEING peachykeen. that is why i remember it so well.
brb tom wants to talk...
oh I do recall that one. It was annoying. but entertaining too.
loooooool
It is possible that ruru is just a second account by someone. Could Mikey live on in Ruru?
good grief doesn't he know you are down memory lane
the nerve of that man!
I didn't know that, hurshy! You supposedly peachykeen?
ruru doesn't flounce enough!
Ruru has a Tutu....I think he can flounce.
someone suggested it one day, yes. it didn't get a lot of play.
ya know I haven't seen Hurshy and peachykeen at the same time...hmmm
maybe mikey/ruru has learned?
I remember Moonwolf, and she has just disappated.
He doesn't have enough *asterisks* to be Mikey, nicht wahr? Hmmm?
Moonwoof she was.
LOL haz
yes haz, that is it. I used to play later at night when I was in NM and chatted with her a lot.
i still miss curtis... chg or cts or whatever, who was so taken with ren and nut
chj, maybe?
Again, not that I take any notice of people's little idiosyncr - peculiarities.
ohhhhh moonwoof. sprite's buddy
i miss joelgee and lola and anj
I really enjoyed moonwoof..she was so much fun
what are we talking about?
She was fun Ruru, it was the tutu comment that made me recall her.
and Fran too..
anj and lola have been on, rarely but i've seen them from time to time
It's not what we're talking about, it's who.
babbletimes past
yes, dear Fran. at least she's on facebook
Lady we are reminiscing about older days on babbler and Babblers who are gobne.
ADHD Word Lover.
I think KJE and Moonwoof are the same person
Knock, knock -- clue for no7/32 mayhaps???
oh... I see, I guess I'm relatively new. I do recognize the name moonwoof, I think.
I actually do not think soRuru. I've talked to Moon off babble and she was not kje.
Who had ADHD and who was 50 something but who had the heart of a child and the skin of a teenager.
erda - the opposite of what we are discussing
really? how is she doing?
ruru is just goofing around
no7= "not" + not in the future, but in the ****
*whimpers at mention of ADHD WL*
What ARE you discussing?
Sorry. I should have given warning.
It was back in the day, but she was alright. then she just disappated.
adhd was funny... do, i think she liked to be called
TY lady.
I can't remember adhd
I think ruru has adhd
I think we all have it a bit.
haz doesn't!
You can't remember her? She was on for a couple of months maybe 2 years ago.
you're welcome, red
how are your new glasses, Haz?
** Ruru..destined for the Babblers Hall of Fame **
howdee all, and happy blizzarding 8-)
wow, tough grid... hi everyone!
blizzarding? it's a nice sunny day here
Well, funny you should mention that - one pair is fine, the other pair need to be adjusted. But I'm happy with the frames.
hi nrk
nope, I was moving house then though so dropped off the babble scene for a few months before we got the new house and internet back. Feb 07 - May 07.
Well, there's your explanation, that's probably when she was about. A lady of many words.
and truly adhd... was distracted and lost interest
Recovered your equilibrium, Ata?
it's 10 degrees out, or so, and my furnace died yesterday
oh no,Nrk, that happened to a friend of mine this morning. have you had it fixed????
but the good news is, my furnace is at home in New Jersey, and I'm up visiting my parents
not fixed yet... seems to be tough to reach the plumber
we're having a blizzard. so cold out that your fingers freeze in your gloves.
that is good news, unless your pips freeze nrk
oh dear, nrkii... 10 degrees fahrenheit, right? ... because 10 degrees celcius would be fair
You can be Pollyanna and be glad to be where you are!
he showed up last night and put a space heater in the crawl space under the kitchen, and the taps are turned on
10 Fahr... yes
book... I don't think you know cold as I do.
but he hasn't come back
so I don't know when I'll get heat... supposed to be heading back on Monday
I'd better go and do the washing up, Brother & SinL stopping over tonight and we have managed to mess up the house that Mari cleaned yesterday! See you all tomorrow and thanks for the trip down memory lane
see ya Katie
just about. I think!
Bye Katie.
me too housecleaners coming over... so I have to clean before they get here...
hope for the best. we're hving snow tomorrow here in nj bye katie
Bye ruru.
Haven't we said that before?
no ruru that isn't cleaning, that's putting stuff away
yes.. that is correct Dorens..
snow here in MA tomorrow too... I am hoping for 40 degree weather SOON
just enough to keep those pipes warm
back again...
hey nrk
It is 76 out here
going to go make brekkie for hubby.. bbs

congrats Kazzer!
YAY kazzer!
eo6 - been in before - join up a long time with Mr Fleming of Bond fame.

yep, thursday after I intimidated the furnace back into working, I went over and told the neighbor and asked her to keep an eye on it
LOL jbp!
so she has been making sure the taps are running, and she's been harrassing the heck out of my plumber's voice mail
I agree jbp!
jbp, i agree!
*trying to decide if neighbor wants a catered dinner at home or a fancy restaurant meal*

Congrats LadyN!
hello everyone
hi lynxx!!
poit! is not a word
im5.16 im & the season - fall or **tu*n
thanks lynxxx!
i+ not pa... (as in papa), and the word to describe a hesitation in speech....
got the word. don't have a clue what it means
same as the one before it
taking a break, see y'all later, if i don't freeze
I kept trying to add stuff to the end, not the middle
tc book-gwen
is there more than one word that ends in tion?
i don't think so, rob... but there are a few that end in ian
no7/32 please?
no7= "not".. + not the future or the present.
what an odd word, ty Natts :)
yqw, dcseain
hi dc!
hi DC
hi, ata, lyn, erda, Natts, hoffle :)
there are a lot of odd words on this grid
pain au chocolat are in the oven, and will be ready in 10
Hi DC
chocolate bread?
i woke up a short time ago
never heard of such a thing
I'll just get the coffee to go with that - yum!
yum - I can just smell them now...
croissant dough filled with chocolate, natts :)
mmmm... sounds yummy. my secret weakness is croissants
a nice bar of milk chocolate in this case, rolled into each one :)
good morning and love the chocolate talk :)
mmmmm... most of marmite is in the grid
hi, jks
pa4 du chocolat is the best
i think of those as different words, but right you are, ata. I even already had pa4
so do I, it only occurred to me as I was typing it!
but you should have gone to the PB for it... I didn't notice either, since you were talking in French
doesn't count if he wrote it in french
exactly, Natts :)
fresh from the oven! careful, let them cool a few, so you don't get burnt on the chocolate!
Afternoon, one and all. Only in French would the words "pa4" and chocolate appear together. Completely foreign thought for most of us.
the Dutch combine them, too Judy :)
I can even nearly smell them
lol
Well, shame on the Dutch then too.
no Judy means combining the pa4 word with chocolate, not bread
I am pa**ed if I have to pass up chocolat ;)
you're making me have to go out in this bitter cold weather to get pa** au chocolat.... that comment about smelling them its what did it
well, that happens, too dorens, but is not what i meant in this case
well the pa4 word is bread in french
Pa4 as a feeling, not a bread.
sorry dorens! it's just such an evocative smell though!
particularly now that you brought it to my attention. will have to bundle up warm and trudge down to the bakery
bring us some too? ;)
i know pince as a variant of pinch as in pince-nez, oh ENABLE thinks it's foreing. LOL
but think of the wonderfulness when you get to the bakery!
indeed, ata!
you all can be happy with the virtual pa** au chocolat, normally virtual chocolate does it for me, but right now I need the real thing.. yes, the wonderfulness will be real
hello all, was thinking of making toll house brownies today
instead of the choc chip cookies, same recipe easier to make
I have the ma8, clue for the other 8 pls
noooo ... now I will need to go to our local bakery as well... they make lovely brownies...
Uh oh. More chocolate! Hi, Peri!
yum, peri!
I LOVE dark chocolate
make a deli sandwich peri
I am willing to share, just need to rest a bit after errands
i prefer dark choc
looool chocolate everywhere!
hi all
is that a clue? Dorens
Hi Boo
yes peri
hi boo
so do i, jks, but i had milk on hand today
I could make chocolate work in a deli sandwich.
hi, boo!
I got it, thanks Dorens
yw
hi all - great clue Dorens - and thanks for the picture of the goose that is not in the grid today
oh, and if any of you are DCish, or will be around 15 feb, see my profile!
chocolate sandwich sounds good to me
ty for that great clue Dorens
Ah, yes. The official bird of Babble. Our beloved nene.
lots of P words today
i thought it was supposed to be babblets today... too lazy to change the icon. yw chrisk, peri and jjk
that goose looks like it's got 2 heads :)
grump. it'll take antipasti, but not pasti :)
I am always too lazy to change my icon. I do it very infequently and when I do, no one sees me
actually two geese ata
cause those are hawai'ian geese, ata :) see the blue band on one, and the red one on the other
dc. make a sandwich, not appetizer tray
cute geese :)
aww, fav wine and flower today
i like your fox better
i don't see st. emilion
the fox would like the goose better
fox isn't a babblet though :(
don't see any other babblets anyway... sprite had one, said she had thought it was but apparently it's phantoms. in which case. i am going to switch now
fox barks squick me. and a goose killed by a pack of foxes sounds like deflating bagpipes :/
Squick?
clue for an 5 please
squick: A source of psychological discomfort; To gross out, to disgust; To be grossed out, to experience disgust
An5: meditative chant, minus the "m".
new word for me, dc
i meant it in the 1st meaning
squick: Etymological Note: There is inconclusive evidence this term may have originated among practitioners of sexual bondage or sadomasochism.
Now that's interesting, BR!
indeed so, babblerabble :)
ok have phantom icon now
good grief DC what have you been up to! hi BR
LOL lynxxx!
do you have a new cat DC? very pretty
squick is a great word
ty for io4, dorens :)
are there any py words
Hence the product, Bisquik?
it is, ata, and very common among people i know and most people i've met my age and younger, at least around here
yes peri
well there is at least one, py4/7 :-)

Sorry to change the subject folks - just watching t he hunt for the act to perform for the UK in Eurovision. Does amyone think it's actually worth us entering?
Oh - very few European flags showing at the mo so probably no one has any idea what I'm talking about! Sorry!!
What is it all about, tinks?
I do...Eurovision has a cult following over here. Not sure if broadcast in the US ?
Every year there is a Eurovision Song Contest - over the last I can't remember how many, the UK has got very few votes
VERY few!
missed out "few years"
I'm not sure if we got any one year, think last year maybe one or two
Certain countries seem to vote for their neighbours rather than the songs
doubt it lol
How could you say that tinks!
I've always been a dedicated follower but eased off recently as it doesn't seem to matter what the song is like
what has happened to ALW's area under his eyes?
lol! lynxxx
oh yes, eastern europe always seem to win ...
They do look very puffy ATa
any help with the pa8?
pa8/50 is yummy on rye
pigeon- think deli meat
Hello.
pa 8 on rye
its a meat popular in sandwiches pigeonman
ty, vi!
oh mna. O kept looking for that but couldn't see it. I should have just typed it in. ty.
No, we have to watch eurovision on the web here in the US
I know, pigeonman. I do the same thing - and I never seem to learn just to type in any word with all the letters available!
though mayhap on BBC America, i shall have to check
Vi! Just as I have to go :(
Hi Vi & Pigeon
Awww... Too bad, Ata! Where do you have to get to?
I cannot believe what apparently purports to be a contest on the merits has become politicized ... how distressing
hello, pigueon.
dinner time!!
so I'll be back!
Oh, well, I wouldn't want to keep anyone from dinner! Enjoy!
help with co 6/30 please
Ok no running for me. I was about to go , got everything ready and just gave up, took a hot bath and am louging on the couch, I feel lousy.
It just adds to the fun BabRab - the whole thing is outrageous.
that sounds lie a plan to me, re
bye Ata, enjoy
That's how I feel babblerab... Mind you looking at the act performing now, I didn't think she could be any worse than she was last week... she's only young but I hope she doesn't get through again this week
but, lyn, what of art for art's sake
I still have to drag myself out for sushi night with the ER folks. I dont want to but when i cancel they harangue me. I am not going to the drag queen show after though.
co 6 -- add, mechanical writing machine: ****writer
I don't think it is art but just performance - of the most over the top type
thanks BR!!
I totally missed that ty4 too. I forgot to go up
tks BR
sorry to hear you are not feeling well, redT .... do you know any doctors that may assist you?
Hi Red
Bab, I am trying to decide if it is physical or if I am just in a bad funk.
you've got it lynxxx - it's really not a proper contest anymore, need to view it as a comedy show :D
lethargy and feeling cold may be worth investigating
fair enough, lyn, and you have a poit
poin
point
oh, well said, tinks, unfortunate is
If I dont feel better after a nap and another day, maybe.
Hi everyone! How are you today?

i was not in the us for the last inauguration...was it like this??????
neat, now i know what an oxter is, ty babrab
wow BR 7 you have an amazing vocab
no, red, in my life there's never been an inauguration like this
I am watching the inauguration now while playing
me too boo. i dont recall the reaganone...
i was like 10 or so...
its going to be good for america
the reagan one was wery much not like this
yes, it is, boo
i agree - one of my colleagues is attending
neat jjks.
i know, i'm so envious!
obamas hand when he was just a senator from illinois, in NH but i at the time thought he had no SHOT...
OOPS DOG ON KEY BOard.
do you think he wants some attention?
lol
what I mean to say was I did get to shake obamas hand.
Teulu Lynxx is an attention hog. He always wants attention.
velcro dog is s/he?
He has been on two walks today, gotten a variety of treats, played with nerf ball....but he wishes he could live in my lap...
Obama will be the 5th President in my lifetime so far....
I was born when Nixon was pres.
me, too, red
Or rather Ford? I am unsure, I only recall carter being elected.
What did you guys think of the Frost/Nixon movie?
Correction: I was born when Jimmy Carter was Pres, so Obama will be no. 6 in my lifetime
i've not seen it yet, lyn
I havent seen it... but I bet Movie man has!
this will be the 11th in my lifetime
mr carter is very nice, i met him twice as a child. such a kindly man.
i have great respect for carter
the cats are very, very cuddly since it is so cold.
I have always wanted to meet him Seain...I admire how he has used his title to do a variety of very good lasting things...
It's worthwhile seeing DC/Red. Very interesting
yes, jks, his presidency set him in a position to do so much good
red - I haven't seen Frost/Nixon yet....not yet released!!!!!
I thought it was out? Maybe only in the US.
i plan, too, lyn. i wonder if it's still in cinemas
hearing raves about that film
i rave about it
Thats weird MM...Ir wa released a few months ago here
Not out here until the 23rd
Hi fellow babblers!
how is the grid today
Hi beach
hi, beach
hi Beach
We sometimes get the big films a few weeks later than the US
challenging, but not impossible so far for me, beach
clue for im 5 please
tough Beach. Seems to be the trend of late
did you see it lynxxx? i loved it.. .thought Frank langella was magnificent
I am doing OK with it about as I always do, 46 left no list yet.
im 5 - summer follower: **tu*n
I did Dorens. He was good...he already has an award doesn't he (for this part)
hollywood is so weird about int'l distributions
ty, babrab :)
pretty sure he got a tony when he did it on broadway lynxx
carter was pres when i was born. when i was very little and he had lost to reagan, i told my mom that carter was my favorite president. she mocked me. but i have never had reason to regret the statement!
Hello Hursh!
hi, hursh!
How old are you Hursh, if you don't mind my asking?
hi, i'm not staying but i saw mention of the good fellow and had to join in :)
He is very well recalled in my home area of Pennsylvania because of the Three Mile Island Incident, whih in retrospect looks like nothing but at the time was a very big unlnown.
you do the math CHS :)
30? 31?
31, goin on 32, yes
30 going on 31 here
Nixon always brings an image of the arms outstretched, fingers forming a V.... while 5000 more died so he and Kissenger could negotiate peace with honor
Birthday on 22nd Feb
I have such bad memories of his presidency
just awful
I share my birthday with a VERY famous US Pres.....
I dont recall nixon, what I do recall is my Dad cutting a photo out of Ford and his Golden Retriever, because we had a GR as well....oddly.
me too movieman
jjk - is your b'day on 22 feb too?
has anyone read krugman's editorial in the NYT about prosecuting the crimes of the bush administration? i can't decide what i think about it.
nixon's birthday was exactly one week after mine... one of the reasons i never put much stock in horoscopes
it's on 6 Feb ... famous actor-pres ;) lol
lol Dorens
That'll be Ronnie then?
9 left to go all pi
exactly - Ronnie
I am stuck on the Y's...last 3
those P's are pissers
tinks do you have the keyed instrument?
George Washington here
and the wine?
yes hursh, i found it quite interesting... thought provoking and he is one hell of an intelligent man
very cool
i just can't decide because we are in SUCH a bad place right now that i can see the point of view that we just have to focus on that and not put energy into anything else but fixing it
good afternoon everyone - back from grocery shopping, catching up on the chat - are you talking about birthdays? presidents? or both?
yes thx to the instrument red - it's the middle chunk, i'm sure i tried the wine, will have another go
both jbv
hi, jbv, both, jbv
there it is
hiya jbv
exactly hursh.... and I'm glad I don't have to make the decision
huh. it's getting dark. i wonder if we really will get snow
the idealistic side of me agrees with krugman but the pragmatic side of me isn't so sure
ok
jbv how is your fammily doing?
US prisons are overflowing with those who broke a law. Yet, those who broke the law of the land get a pass, and their crimes a precedent to similar violations of law in the future
ma 6/21? (first)
it really has botherd me tremendously seeing him get away with murder, and laughing and joking about it
little green men jjks, or a purple bird.
indeed so, babrab, so very saddening, disheartening, and rightening.
ma6 a chant you use while meditating perhaps
jjk, my first is the thing i have to keep telling myself over and over
red, we are hanging in there - not sure what will happen, but daily life goes on more or less the same
frightening rather
thank you - got it!
Dorens I agree, it was terribly disturbing, because a lot of Overseas people think we were in accordance with this sort of thing.
if those who make and enforce the law can violate the law and fail to uphold and defend the constitution just how debased have we become?
Good to hear that JBV.
I recently saw the doco "the War on Democracy" - John Pilger. Very very disturbing
also david brooks had a very interesting piece on the economy. i don't always agree with him but i find him a very sensible person in general.
so i would love to see some sort of retribution, some recognition of the horrificness (terrible word i know), yet I don't want to see us bogged down with it and distracted from the very important stuff that needs to be done
enough so to make one reconsider living here, babrab, at least speaking for myself
he's been right on the money lately
hello all, help with co6 pls
let's sit at the keyboard together peri
a war crimes trial would not be out of line, IMHO, dorens.
what you would do if you had to share a keyboard per
NPR had an interesting discussion this morning about Policy and Cuba.
thanks dc
thanks Dorens
as many have said, if a man accused of robbery says ... these are troubling times, let s move on ... will the prosecution stop, unless you war for what has become bush's private law firm: the justice department
co + ****writer
While it isnt really in the mainstream, its always on our conciousness in Fl.
i'm glad that obama is closing gtmo
meant to add, right away
last one...yi 5/16
I just a made a veggie, cheesy tuna cassarole, forgot to put in the noodles but it was good just the same
yes dc, but hurshy's point is well taken... if there were a trial, would that take our attention away from the disaster that needs major attention?
unless you work
Me to jjks.
got it!
fireworks!!
that is good peri, less carbs
Carbs are goood! they give you energy. people need carbs.
i mean i think personally that priority number one by FAR is the environment. i was VERY annoyed when polled before the election and asked to rank the most important issues - it was multiple choice and the environment hadn't made the list.
dorens, i think not necessarily so, but yes, perhaps so, but i think the threat of that need not eliminate it as a probability.
congrats Miz!
let those who violate a public trust go on their merry way in the interest of expediency and at the expense of justice that only the rich and those in high office may exploit
how, odd, and annoying, hursh
that is why i really feel some sort of censure (glad i didn't have to say this yesterday) is in order
congrats, HizHoffle!!!
indeed, babrab
ah, yes, that is a good point, dorens
the fact that bush didn't believe in global warming, just as many don't believe in evolution, has something to do with that hurshy
i know. :( :P
I think even Bush is relieved not to be President for much longer.
and yet he remains so smug. i hate smugness (in anyone other than ata)
Just to add a differnet point of view, as someone who witnessed the world trade center buildings falling, and trated many of the victims, I think when this country is attacked agains, many will long for the days of the Bush presidency
i'd say so too, red
and stemcell work
yay! done it! bbl to try and help
bush is a war criminal
why bubba, so he can sit and read childrens'books and not react?
agreed
Yaaay TInks.
hooray tinks!
timem may tell, bubba, but the actions of the current administration undermining civil rights and the constitution is not an excusable, nor resonable recation tha that, IMHO, bubba.
to the charge of Bush being a war criminal
congrats, tinnks!!!
yay tink
people used to think that concern for the environment was somehow just concern for endangered species and wild environs, and are maybe still stuck in that. people need to realize that the poor of the world, already suffering, will suffer so very much more due to our inaction on this.
hear, hear, hurshy!
It is rather surprising to me though how much people really really vehemently hate Bush....My Mom is nto a passionate person, but start her on Bush....and shes gone.
Opinions, as we all know are like a**holes, everyone has one, but history will be the final arbitor of what was correct and what was not.
my mother gets apopleptic
I think because I really missed the election mess, maybe I just am less sensitive.
indeed, bubba, we shall see in decades
my mother refuses to think about any of this
I am 91 in. taking a break to see if I can find food. Back later
I will say Bubba that I am not sure there is any absoloute Correct or incorrect. and yes we will see. I hoep you are wrong, because I feel rather relieved not to have to hide my passport when traveling any more.
help with ar6 pls
njoy, autumn

jon stewart is from there and i think HE says it :)
watch public tv, bbs

NJ was the only of the original 13 states never to have had a state religion, not even during the colonial period

oh, neat, jmc, that i did not know
I was just in NJ today but am back home in the colony

this grid is such slow going for me..
yes, i'm stalling at about halfway, ruru
43 left now.
really stuck.
53 here, really really stuck
after you find the words, ruru, the second go around is much quicker
50 here and trying to bake a lasagne at the same time
hello again!
hey seain! where you been?
149 here
hello, stid
stove broken ru?
hi stid
hi, stid, the m-f job thing wears on me
hi stid
ruru, have you tried putting the lasagne in the oven?
no.. cooking is interferring with me finishing this grid...
hahaha stid.. that was so funny I forgot to laugh..
ruru... bake?
50 is 40 F warmer than here
oh, bummer seain. Too bad you can't find a long-lost unknown distant relative who needs to adopt an heir...
bake?
OK, I am going to "push it" and see if I can do a little running, otherwise,...
indeed, stid :) grandpa died, but that gets me a down payment on a house once through probate, which is enough
oh red, don't overdo!
njoy, red :)
take care of yourself, redT
bye red stay warm
stid I've been pretty lazy.
oh seain, I had forgotten. I am so sorry...
I am very stressed about house, but feeling better than I did an hour ago.
what's happening with the job, seain?
red, you were under the weather. I am hopeful about the house for you.
darn it... my A isn't working too well... i'm going to need to void it
job is 10-19 m-f, going well, but a big schedule change
void A? as in remove it? cancel it? kill it?
ugh, stuck
ty, stid, but it was very much his time :)
10 to 19?????
I am down to 55, stuck and wondering if I should list.
yes stid... it is stuck
do you mean you work until 7 PM? that's a very long day
10A to 7p -10 to 19
listing may be hard on the back if done for prolonged periods
that is long
i used to do 1-19
but you get to sleep late DC, I am jealous.
7-19 rather
true BR, very true...
i hope you got a raise
actually, i don't usually sleep late, as there's time in the AM to launder or shop or cook
21% pay cut with this job, but a very full benefits package
very muchso, babrab
benefits cost less than pay
well, benefits are very valuable, too, seain - that's important
benefits are good, especially with your growing family... how is alabaster, by the way?
21% pay cut??? shit
he's well, trying to swat/bite jasper's tail as we type
mrp, still enogh to live on - last job paid VERY well, and with the economy, i'm happy to be working, with no gap in employment
*grin* no wonder jasper is a little stand-offish...
well, jasber will be 18 in May, which i'm sure plays into it, too
yeah I just got an email from yet another friend looking for work and in his 50s finding work is hard
cats are gone, i can type properly again.
oh my! that's pretty old for a cat isn't it? it would be ancient for a dog
yes, jmc, i've friend in that boat i'm trying to help
dcs, I negotiaated 20% increase ... got it too. economy is sucky there
wtg mr p
stid, house cats often live to 21-25
good for you mrp. didn't know you were working again!
mrp, i was earning more than their team lead at the new contract
congrats on the raise, mrp!
thanks guys!
down to 49, still listless...
no austrian flag?
yes, mrp!
wtg stid
jmc, dr.g is cheap!
just saw how long housecats can live. that's a big commitment. even children are gone in 18 years! *wicked mama grin as she counts the days 'til move-out*
* What do you do with a wombat? * You play wom with it.
jasper's been with me since 1993 :)
my son is living in the dorm but I love having my cat to myself
LOL babrab
lol BR
rofl... BR you'll use them all up before kje gets here!
A farmer from Texas goes to Australia on vacation. There he meets an Australian farmer and gets talking. The Australian shows off his big wheat field and the Texan says, "Oh! We have wheat fields that are at least twice that size!"
asked the joke of stidkid #2. he says, "eat it." I said no. He says, "cook it then eat it." I said no. He says, "kill it then cook it then eat it." I said no, he gave up! *grin* I think he's hungry
The Australian is annoyed at the Texan but doesn't say anything. They walk around the farm a little, and the Australian farmer shows off his herd of cattle. The Texan immediately replies, "We have longhorns that are at least twice as large as your cows."
lol stid
gosh I am so proud I got a 7 word all by myself
go, jmc!
go jmc go!
yes, mrp, keep going...
:-)
The conversation has died down when the Texan sees some kangaroos hopping through the field. He asks the Aussie, "What are those?" The Australian replies with an incredulous look, "Don't you have any grasshoppers in Texas?"
*waiting for more*
as a native Texas I protest
LOL mrp
good morning all
stidkid is ROFL... too cute!
hey pini!
morning, pini
hi pini
hi pini
it's not morning any more...
hi pini :))
hey pini :)
it is so morning stid!!
it is morning somewhere
oh, sorry...you're right...afternoon all! ;)
sunday morning here!
oh! well happy sunday!
guess that's what I get for sleeping in! ;)
oooh, tough question from a friend: On the whole are people better off or worse off than they were 30 years ago?
better
better off
depends on what you look at, but despite what we feel like after the past 8 years, overall we are better off
It depends a little I think seain -- where they live and what "better" means. I am better off because I have my tom and family.
better off than 30 years ago I mean... just want to clarify that!
but 30 years ago my family had just moved from an urban area to the outskirts of a podunk little town that thought it was the state capitol.
In the US, the middle class is shrinking global warming is not taken seriously, the national debt is staggering, our financial markets are teetering; and the politicians, as usual, are posturing
but a lot of people are not better off kje... and when did you get in? you missed the wombat joke!
better off in terms of career (than 30 yrs ago)
30 years ago my family moved into the single family house from the row house down the street in a semi-rural town that's now an urb.
yes, precisely, babrab
30 years ago my "career" was babysitting and doing yard work. Now my career is parenting and doing yard work. Not much job promotion, methinks!
30 years ago I left the desert (from a post that had a night population of 2,000 to a city of 250K)...not sure which was better
air quality is much better today than 30 years ago
less ozone for sure :P
30 years ago my allergies were none of them life threatening and I could eat anything I wanted. *sigh*
I miss cheese...
30 years ago I was a single lawyer with no job.
30 years ago, I had a pony
i was a student teacher 30 yrs ago
30 years ago (this June), I was graduating high school
really mrp??? *very envious look*
30 years ago we could still see the milky way at night. i miss the stars
we still can
dcs, we have a great view of the milkyway here!
go to Ft. Valley. The stars are still there
I can still see the milky way at night... unless it's overcast. which is rather a bit more than I like.
hi ata (hugs)
30 years ago I was in the 9th grade and probably worrying about a zit or something
hi ata
there's a dark skies park in Northern PA. I'm trying to convince Tom that wee ned to go camping there for a weekend :)
lol kje
*walks headlong into the middle of the convo*
you can come visit us, seain, and your tom and my tom can talk, and lucky can "entertain" your cats. And you and I can sit out with the boys telescopes and you can look at the stars/
30 years ago I was 3
I took a class at the National Observatory (where the VP lives) in the center of DC and saw lots of stars
do it, seain - even if we can't see them every day, we need to see the stars on ce in a while
30 years ago, my teacher said that in the year 2000 we'd be about as old as she was then, and i remember thinking that was ancient. When 2000 came around, it was interesting how perspecive changes as one ages :)
clue for ma 4/6 please
too true dc
oh, what fun that sounds, stid!
ok stid... I have to admit something...
too true, seain! on the other hand, 30 years ago a 30 year old looked like many of today's 50 year olds...
30 yrs ago I was crying my eyes out because my first boyfriend decided that "it was over" after a 5-year relationship we started when I was 13 :(
mother boo
telescopes here for you too!
watch it pini!
that's an impressively long relationship for that age, pini
I actually had 2 ponies.... *spoilt child look*
wow pini! can't believe you managed to hang out together that long!
well, stuck at 48. listing...
yeah, I thought so, too...
its my party and I will cry if I want to
wrong sorry pini it should have been watch it stid! old eyes you know
stid, i'm at exactly 48 also
mrp, I think I can say, with all honesty, that's a BIG PILE OF ***ure
I met the love of my life when I was just 14, and it lasted till he died when I was 22
30 years ago i took my first astronomy class at the Northern VA Community College Woodbridge Campus. we went to the tennis court, turned out the lights, and there was the universe to behold! today, not so much. :(
oh atalante, how sad.
all honesty!! Their names were Spotty and Tiki
I'm sorry, Ata...
how beautiful and sad, ata - quit poignant
I met the love of my life when I was 31 and it lasted until he died when I was 42
young love *sigh*
so sad Ata :(
sad to love and have lost :(
awww *hugs jmc*
do you have a picture of your ponies?
*cough cough* I was referring to the clean-out process, mrp. *grin*
same to you ata
30 years ago, I confronted my first revenue officer
I do jmc... somewhere in the albums
nice to have known real love, at any age, for any duration, I think.
I will go find a pic of Tiki
oh oh... here comes BR to the rescue!
yeah, it just spoiled me for any one else though! :P
pooh I confront them all the time for clients
small dog plus box of tissues = messy floor - clean up time, lol
my very first teenage love was interrupted by the Vitenam War - we were never able to recover it
*Vietnam
yeah it does make it hard to date sometimes
I know the feeling, Ata...probably why I've been single longer than I've been with anyone!
oh that's sad JBV!
LOL jjks!
and he did not die, just changed irrevocably
poor jjks
he didn't die, just the person you knew died
very well put, Ata
*jmcnrick restraining herself*
so many people had that experience JBV... and so many people are having it now as the result of the Afghanistan/Iraq stuff
told me I have better watch my tongue or he would consider what I say as threats
had
wow, BR -- so you have been working on your personality for quite some time!
so, I put what I was going to say in writing
looooool
I know stid - a whole new generation dealing with the aftermath of a horrible war
well don, babrab!
a good evening to all. Icon theme updated and ready for tomorrow. Let's count our blessings.
clearly all the work on BR's personality has paid off! lol
evening, sprite, ty and yes we shoulld
hi sprite

tom and i will go to beach or NYC, still deciding. he's never been to NYC, so i'm pushing for that

I am NOT getting the CO 6. *sigh* I must be dense
sweet dreams, sprite!
co + patter away at a keyboard

oh! LOL I was thinking about the musical pi5 keyboard!
dc... later in april is better... it can still be pretty cold first week
hahaha
noooooo the other one!
sorry stid, maybe i should have said computer????
i've done NYC over prez day
can you densely clue the im 5 perhaps?
sure.... but central park, etc... everything is prettier when the trees are green and flowers are perking up
add another vowel to im4 (in the middle)
hello all,
I haven't been to NYC since 1974 or 1975... assume it's still big, crowded and hard to navigate?
hey peri!
finally monkeyed tr5/16... anaother weird word
thanks again dorens
true dat, dorens
got it.
stidmama, hope I am included in your list of people you care about
no stid, big, crowded and easy to navigate... just need to have some peeps who know their way around... and now you do
i agree. NYC easy to naviate, even my mother groks the subway there
44 words left
we really should get everyone here when mrP comes (if she comes???)
ma 5 == Cass Elliot Michelle Phillips
go peri go!
I do hope she comes, Dorens
great gclue, babrab :)
YES! very much, peri! I just ran out of figner strength...
yes, if mrp comes I shall make an effort to get wherever she visits.
think she'll be landing on the west coast, so probly easier for you to meet her there, but if she's coming to ny it would be such fun for you to come out here
down to 33..
thanks, stid, I feel much better now
oh, indeed, many of us will congregate wher mrp and family are :) A trip to Niagara is suggested, which works well for me
don't let st 5/16 word st*** you stid
oh she will be coming!!
hi there, mrp!!!!Looking forward to your visit
thanks for that one dorens! you know it would have!
YAY! making any headway in your plans?
ty for st5!
I will be landing in LA
*grin* okay mrp, just let me know when, and I shall be sure all the large rocks in the yard are glued down...
WHEN???
yes, we're all very excited about your visit, mrp :)
it sure did me, stid... just monkeyed it thankfully... down to 3
from there... well, it depends on babble buddies I am afraid!
go dorens
ok...back
go dorens go!
28 now
hey again pini!
is the NO fishy? my last n word
Plan is for June.... could be July... I wanna be there in summer
many people will congregate to nj (well, maybe not hurshy :0) ) and certainly ny (35 minute ride from here) and don't forget 3 unused bedrooms in this house, + lakes for swimming and boating
ma 6 -- aum aum aum
LOL you will come here, stidkid will be there.... summer in LA is not a great time to visit, but it would be better than your summer at least
ok ok... you need to spell your states out for me!
NJ = new jersey
June is beginning of summer here... nj is New Jersey
OR = Oregon ;)
WA = washington
New York is NY
ID = idaho
these are the common postal abbreviations, btw
awww I'll just miss you, I should be in OR in August / September
DC = Washington DC
i'm in VA - Virginia near washington DC
PA = Pennsylvania, where I live, marigold and Temple Owl and several other BAbblers
VA = virginia
nj is New Jersey
I could make it October??
ata, why not stop off in New York on the way?
mrp, you will need to plan for a LONG trip... LOL
and PA is right next to NJ which is right next to NY, so PA people will certainly be here
peri, I have to go to pennsylvania.... Nut would have me killed otherwise! :) LOL
October is our fall (atumn)
DC people could come up too if they want, and I'm sure many will
October in CA isn't bad -- and it can be lovely in new england and virginia as well
PA - Pennsylvania
And just a jump for DC
because the cheapest flights are direct to Portland :P However, I could sneak another Delta buddy pass and go via JFK!
October is a very nice month around here
so, are we meeting in PA or NJ??
NJ is central, so I think that, but whatever works for you
yes, PA easy to get to from here, as is NJ
June is better if Madison likes swimming, etc
Depends on where in PA
help on the PA 8 please?
Philly is central
yummy sandwich filling, stid
on rye
stid...think deli meat
June works for me cause we have a break... and October is also break time...
aha! yummy food!
Phila, is SE Pennsylvania, near NJ
ty pini now I am hungry
food hints generally work on me. wonder why i can't lose weight?
pa8 deli meat
yep! very yummy!
great minds, Pini!
=]
LAST PA 6?
I need to get an itinery together, with your help all! Babblers decide where.
there are NY people though, like Annie in Brooklyn and some in Long island
mess cleaned up, new box of tissues on list (lol)
DId I hear someone Say PA? I might be able to get my parents to let us Pic-a-nic onthier grounds.
that is the word I'mlooking for stid.. last word
there must be some online tool to work on an iternery
I did indeed run now, I feel like a trina did a slow roll over me.
mrp, if we can afford it, we will go wherever you are closest when you are here.
where in Pa are your parents, red?
mmmm. picnic. (more food)
lol red
LOL jjks!
THey live in Newburg, boasts a population of er, 315 or so people.
did you go very far red?
well, we will certainly be discussing this further! I need to make plans by April
lol, red
you could afford to pa* + ***by means you don't want a project near your home
she consumed some, but i think paper's ok
But the cool thting is that you can go to the real, not fake Amish and Mennonite run markets etc.
never heard of Newburg
that clue is for you stid, which means fireworks here
pa6 pa* for purchases & Jack be ***ble
YAY dorens!!!!
*thinking about clue*

isn't coyap when dogs bark together?
lol ata
the tile stats say how many more words you need that start from that particular tile
yes, jamie, the help link above explains a lot of stuff
LOL -
the word stats give how many words of each length you still need to find.
words stats tells you how many words have how many letters
2nd and 3rd pa6 pls
when a word can start from more than one letter, the one that counts is the one most to the top and left...
pa 6/27 where you store food in the kitchen?
did not figure that out yet stid
1st pa6 - adv of the pa5
pa6 - danish pa****
duh, thanks stid
and the other pa 6/27 is the bready treats like scones and biscuits and eclairs...

thx for clues jmc
do you use ya 5/16 to turn your dog on and off
we are watching C-SPAN's coverage of the whistle-stop tour from Philly to DC....
or does the dog turn the light in it's dog house on and off that way
yw jjks
same here stid
good one, jmc ;)
I am hoping not to OD on inaugural stuff until sometime tuesday so am not watching
I am going to go make me some Lupper bbl
good plan, living in DC it is way too intense!
I think my brain needs lunch...
bbs
is Biden's wife a dr?
Just got that clue, jmcnrick...very funny
YA5! Ya*off! Ya5 ya*off, the ya**er!
LOL
sounds like hobbit chasing pheasants
lol ata :)
Is Sin City good? Worth watching?
what is Sin City?
I liked it a lot
film from a few years ago, based on Frank Miller's graphic novel
huh. missed that one entirely.
oh cool. ok, I'll make an effort to watch it and not fall asleep!!!
jill biden is a teacher...
is it black adn white all the way through?
I am letting the kids stay home if they want on tuesday. I think participating in an historical event trumps schoolwork.
I wish i could stay home, but I am working. But we will have TV on. I am sure some yahoo will try to change it, but our Hospital is an Obama hospital. He just gave a pretty inspiring speech.
5 minutes of knocking on the neighbour's door to get in. oy
Michelle Looks like she is really "In her element today, gracious, enthusiastic and a bit excited!
yes, he does give good speeches
schools here are closed on Tuesday, region-wide
And now I hope that inspiration continues through people in the hard times.
Michelle is elegant and beautiful.
our once-every-four-years holiday :)
it's also her birthday...
we are broadcasting live on Tues. for our students
It is, so she has special B day glow!
I wish inaugurations and general elections were holidays so that people could really pay attention
yes, red, bout the hard times
yes to both of those, stid! esp elections
It's nice to see people all out and excited about something. I do hope that this continues.
we have a special election on 3 feb here for chair of the board of county supervisors.
hear, hear red!
That is nice jjks, I don't know what our local schools have planned, but i have some curriculum I am interested in having our kids do at home anyway
THe secret service guys are really apparent and sticking to Obama which I appreciate.
i wonder if DHS will get dismantled, or just reorged.
Health Services?
Health and Human services?
i'm proud of my boss for doing this - i was going to anyway in my classroom
yes -- at times like this hope and anticipation are powerful allies. I think people will be inspired to work harder instead of giving up
Homeland security
Ahhhh makes more sense. I think we need Homeland security, but I do not want to be a nation that allows waterboarding etc.
yes, they look a little nervous with the way Obama is getting right in there with all the people, even though you know they all went through screening...
well, the dog is desperate. going to head out for a while and back later maybe
HHS - Health and Human Services DHS- Dept of Homeland Security, HUD -Housing and Urabn Development
(((((hugs everyone))))) see you-all soon!
I probably should write a letter of appreciation to the secret service guys, I bet no one ever thanks them, unless something happens.
hugs stid, be well :)
that is true, red. My dad was Secret Service
walk dog stid! be warm!
bye stid (and hi all)
bye bye stid
wb, jmc
I suppose it would probably be seen as odd and I would have a govt file opened on me!
when I was a young COngressional intern the secret service guys would all try to pick up chicks by flashing their little ear plugs and bulges of guns in the bars
clue for pi 4/6 plse
jmc that is hysterical.
My husband used to have a cottage industry of getting Quakers and others their FBI files; one guy's file was made up entirely of letters from him saying "I know you have a file on me"!
how typical, jmc
LOL JMC
kmc, they keep files on Quakers? Oh well.
I believe I alreayd have a file due to an minor issue with my passport and some travel that is unaccouonted for on it...plus i am a Quaker.
when we met I was involved in a case suing the FBI and police for the files and dirty tricks from Vietnam and civil rights movement
jmc I mean.
quakres, unitarian universalists, and other members of pacifist organizatinos
red--What Meeting?
we're subversive, you know ;)
Westtown. I have not actually been to meeting for about 8 years
nothing more subversive than silece
yeah, those pacifists are scary :-)
In the south...you know they do this thing where they have a pastor and songs and stuff and I wasnt fond of it. Went to Westtown Friends outside of Philly.
i concur, jmc :)
silence brb chili went down wrong p***
Oh no jmc, cough it up...No sense getting chili Pneumonia.
actually there are unprogramed Friends in the South now too
hi maag
hello, magazine
hey jmc!
Some but I never found one!
unpgrogrammed meetings are superior, i think.
I will say though I was questioned thoroughly at the Airport once about the Passport....and even though it was a pain it was not as horrible as people make it out to be.
http://www.quakerfinder.org/
I prefer the silent ones, but I will say when I was in High school, I sometimes fell right asleep.
clue for pi 7 please
well dc I spend a lot of time traveling among Friends and while I prefer the unprogrammed Meetings I understand the need for others
yes, that makes sense, jmc, different strokes
In the south I think it was very needed, as people really do like the singing especially.
boo, i know 1st thre letters, and think it's a plural, but i don't have yt
so what meeting for you dc?
THe other day my charge nurse asked me if I was a Quaker how did my parents have me.....quakers are not Shakers I thought it was hysterical.
a plural of the pi 6 above it boo
i'm a UU, but have many quaker friends, and have been to meetings with them.
UU supports my org too
hi all, back to find my last 30
LOL about the quaker/shaker confusion red
I gave a sermon at a UU and a guy in the back kept screaming "Liar"

I was like, looking at her, thinking about how permissive some QUakers can be...
I took a few. Peri...
still have lots of p's to find
ok, red
my opening line on all my sermons is: I think it is very brave for you to ask a quaker to give a sermon since I might just stand here in silence for an hour"
LOL, jmc, though true
my dog is sitting on my shoulder, LOL - 1st time
whilst i babble
hopefully it's a small dog

yw, aeb.. am distracted as "Mama Mia" is playing now.. great musical
that's ok....I love that song.
Hello, everyone!
lol, no, I mean the movie... we rented it.. with Merle Streep
I love that too.... but like the play better.
and Pierce Brosnan.. eye candy (-:
but not a good singer... :D
true, tinks, so true..
lol!
I finally watched "Mamma Mia" last nite - EVERONE butchered the songs except the girl who played Sophie
were you watching the movie, MetFan?
but we're all usually too busy singing along to notice :D
Hi Jellen!
Well, the play isn't on DVD, is it?
clue for st 5/16
Streep is SO good.. what an actress... brb, I think a popcorn break is in order... (-:
ma 6/21, the first one, if someone could
The singers in the play were better singers, but I felt the film opened up the plot better. But Streep, was good, except she did an awful job on "The Winner Takes It All", but I hought her take on "Slipping Through My Fingers" was poignant.
st + personal pronoun + It's ** party and I'll cry if I want to...
nm, found it
there, taxes filed, dinner cooking, life is good :)
Hey, dc, how did you get your W-2's so fast?
my former employer rocks :) and 1 employer for the year
Hi, dc!
hello, jellen, met, bichon, aloy!
Hello to dc and to all - I did not get ONE W2 yet!!!
Back..metfan, "dancing queen" just played.. kinda uplifting
.. and hi to dc!
how frustrating, i always get anxious if i've not gotten my W2s by mid-Jan. I have, in the past gotten them as late as early Feb, though.
Well, I was at Best Buy last nite, and I saw the soundtrack album, glad now that I didn't buy it.....
agree, MetFan.. soundtrack would seem sort of disconnected and irrelevant minus the movie
yes, i agree with aloyisius
I'm spoiled, Aloyisius, listening to ABBA for 35 years, saw them live (Radio City 10/2/79), saw Bjorn Again, the best copy group (The Vanderbilt, 11/5/99), so NO ONE else can o the songs justice.
im 5/16, please?
oooh, sounds great, MetFan... lucky duck
put a vowel in the muslim leader, jellen
Although Laura Branigan did "The Winner Takes It All" very well.
Thanks, dc
yvw, jellen :)
mi 6/27, please?
jellen, jewish gathering of (depending on why and whom you ask) 9-11 for prayer
FINISHED! VERY EXCELLENT!
wahoo, yay for godthaab!!!!!!

hi gang
hiya, ping! how ya been?
i'm good, dc. You?
well, thanks :)
Hi, Ping!
hello jellen!
dc, do you have a favorite scrabble game on facebook?
pi 6/27 clue, please?
it seems like a lot of choices but none of them so great
i like lexulous and wordscraper
adv of the pi 5 above it, jellen
but now they have 8 letters - that's okay for you?
it is, though it has taken some getting used to. the 8 letters is a result of the Scrabble (Hasbro) settlement
Scrabble on facebook has a horrible, clunky interface that i don't like
clue for ti 7,40
i don't like it either
ty7 is a metal plus what we do lots of in this game
ti7 also is an old style ty**setter's tool
I'm not getting it, I'm afraid...
Hello dc! just popping in to try to finish, but I did was to say hey. Hey!
The pi 6/27, that is...
Hi, Trif!

Okay, she's out now...pointedly ignoring me...I can deal with that!
wow, pav, that sounds like a difficult sitch....hope you make it through okay!
mean old auntie jellen! :p
mi6-27 please
I should have been the one to tell her to go away...I'm such a wimp!
how tiring, pav!
ahhh... if only I could get my kids to ignore me LOL
mi, cons, chinese name
ya 6/24, please?
like ma6 - saying
eddie-word for the 10 people needed for certain Jewish rituals
we're just biding time until the new Exec is hired and then another wait and see to know if I've still got a job...politics as usual..it wouldn't be so bad but my boss doesn't have the practical experience of "doing" things , just delegating and appeasing...and not any at supporting the troops.
what bother, pav
oh my god, pav! I just realized...your boss is George Bush, isn't it????
Thanks, dc!
ya6 24 sounds like the "proverbial" saying over and over to help focus
Thanks, PAV
we got our goodbye from the out going head of DHS yesterday :)
fwd'd by the interim director of CBP at that
close! trif....the Pres-elect selected AZ gov Napolitano to serve in his administration, our Sec of State moves up to the Gov spot and my Exec Dir was tapped to help her fix the state of our state. The Deputy Dir has been with him for almost 12 years and is expected, although nothing's been confirmed, to join him in a bit....
CBP?
pi 5/14? under the thing you smoke. I know it's a fish
customs and border protection, formerly US Customs
wow, pav, how strange to work in an industry where you can be replaced every four years, no matter how well you have performed....
ooooh, a teeny weeny little kitty was just put in my lap....
pi 5/14 is a plural
i've a kitten on my arm. i wat him beside me
I wish you all could see how sweet this little nubbin is....
mom...think a little pi4 that you mentioned...
ah, well
pi+ hole in ground or seed of a fruit
DUH! TY guys
jellen...the other pi5 14 is what she's looking for...
oh, yay dc!
babbling kittens....
Pae6 Springs is a town near here
so. DC that's makes you a federale? I've been trying for months to get something lined up at the federal level...any hints? besides usajobs.gov
Hi
I was looking up by way of the smoking item instead of looking down
i'm a fed contractor, which is the best way to make usajobs work for one, that and applying over and over and over again
do you hold a clearance, pav?
an Fed job fairs in your region are good bets, too
I was fingerprinted years ago...horseracing job, but nothing that's dealing with paperwork and confidentiality...except at the state level...
am looking for civilian military apptments
if i could get in with the commonwealth gov't here i should would.
so would, rather
my forte is budgets and finance
ah, any program mgmt exp?
budg/fin with prog mgmt is a great combo in Fed circles
just running accounting and budget offices
special projects here and there
Army and DOD in general have lots of openings of the straight money-mgmt kind things, as does Office of the Comptroller of teh Currency and much of Treasury
ya 5/16?
yes...I qulaified for three listings back in OCt...supposedly the list exp 12/31 and not one tidbit of communication since then
ya5 end like japanese word for japan
fed hiring freeze went into effect in Nov, pav, so either you'll hear months later, and/or monitor and reapply if job is reposted
and dont forget its pl
I didn't realize there was a hiring freeze
warm kitten across my chest, i'm liking this. so very cold here
yes the hiring freeze impacted at minimum DHS, HHS, AG, Treas, and State, and i thought was exec-branch wide
I've been checking usajobs frequently, so as to remain as current as possible...how about the Air Force?
Thanks, dc....1 left...
go jellen!
Air Force is decent to work for, though their people can have a bit of a sense of entitlement. When i worked for Surface Deployment and Distribution Command, i found that Marines, Coast Guard, Army, Navy, Air Force, Merchant Marine in that order were nicest to deal with
Hi, lbd!
hi everyone
I've worked for Army, in the role of a Joint Command only
hi, dawg!
hey lbd
It's a bit after 7 and must run...DC you've been a tremndous help as usual...the news is what I needed to hear to lift me a bit...I'll keep chugging away...sooner or later they'll say yes or no....hopefully! muchas gracias!
hi jellen, dc, magmom

oh right sorry

not sure
is that yur new puppy ruru?
dc, would you pick up a washington post or whatever the paper is now, on the 20th for me? you can email me for the address and i'll gladly pay you for it and shipping.
no... he hasn't been made yet
happy to, dawg! great idea that, i'll pick up several
I am excited about watching the inaugral
he looks made...
like a mafioso? you mean?
grab a couple of the obama metro passes too dc
Hubby is a former history teacher, and would love to have that in his portfolio.
well, if he is not made... what am i looking at?
we have, and are, kje, and they aren't passes anymore, they are smart trip cards
this is a picture of one of the pups we bred..
ooohh
$10 for the obama ones, with $5 fare on them
My niece was asked to do this favor for me, but she's kind of an airhead. not banking on her remembering to get the paper.
he is really cute... makes me want one
those are like Ken Kesey trip cards are they DC?
though he looks scared being held up like that
LOL dawg
nothing is cuter than a lab or golden puppy
ken kesey?
all puppies are cute
he looks like he's going to squirt right out of those hands, ruru!
CHihauhau's are not cute
i know not what you mean, ruru. this is smarttrip: http://tinyurl.com/8k9bvp rfid cards for the subway, trains, and buses here
(have not a clue how to spell that breed)

awwwwwwwwww
nor are the hairless dogs...down right ugly!
my neighbor in B-more had a chihuahua... barked at everything that walked by
shucks?
chihoohoo's works for me! lol
awww, cute!
haired chihuahuas are quite nice small dogs
hi feather
hi, feather
they are obnoxcious little rats.. I don't like them
a bit too yappy for me, rather have a german pinscher
toy dogs. barks on little legs.
i prefer real-sized dogs, on the whole
i prefer large dogs... but chihuahuas are OK... just too yappy though
puntables
hi weed!!!
sheesh, took ya long enough!
puntables - LOLOL
those buggy eyes are ug -lee
they do not have buggy eyes... you must be thinking of something else
yes they do
They do too
I raised huskies growing up, so I'm all about the bigger breeds of dogs...as far as little dogs go, I have to admit a liking for...Scottie Dogs? (the little black one on Lady and the Tramp)

hi min
I was wondering why my ears were ringing Scrabbler.
LOL, torgone
I love doing that ..

Min is our official Babble greeter.

I met 2 Waldorf instructors while on vacation a few yrs ago--they are PhDs and teach future Waldorf teachers
