12:34 am

so if the ve 7 is a noun, then how is it past tense? bizarre indeed.

Kids say the da****** things (leave out an E where you think there should be one)

1:51 am

kids say it

1:52 am

oh so someone was paying attention lol

1:53 am

I was thinking the same thing, west...

1:53 am

didn't Bill Cosby do that show more recently?

1:53 am

I think so.

25 left, and got all the long ones now

1:54 am

his wasn't as good

Question if the place that you are working at is called Lake Colac what is it called if the lake is dry and empty

1:55 am

ANdre what we have running around our Porches minus the H at the end

2:30 am

ha ha that was my phantom

That is most of us AUssies phantom

hi andree :))

2:48 am

hi mrp

just finished dinner and chatting with friends.... we are discussing getting a foster child! had to talk to the kids about it

2:49 am

will you be taking on too much now you will be working this year

well, I don't work out of school hours... and the child would go to school at our school. It would be alot to take on, but there are so many

2:50 am

but it is a very nice idea, think a couple of babblers had their kids on the market a day or 2 ago, lol

there are more than 12,000 kids

cool!! LOL

we would ask for an 8 - 11 year old

2:53 am

well as long as you will keep getting stronger every day it is a lovely thought

I could rent my kids out for a new experience?? what you think?? (I put it to the kids that if they got fostered out, how hard it would be, and they took the idea of having a child here quite well)

oh andree! I wouldn't do it for at least 6 months... I have to be physically clear medically.

2:56 am

yes thats what i was concerned about, you have to put getting really well first

we have wanted to foster since we had kids, but haven't had the chance because of my health issues... this way, if all is good, we can do it

we have spoken about it, and planned for it for 10 years!

Mr Pres what about a sponsor kid? Exchange host mum?

and Yah to you and yours wanting to take in a kid

I haven't heard of that infern? I know that this family who lived here had kids from overseas... 12 week school program, but nothing else I know of

Being a host mum?

3:03 am

i think they are much older kids , year 12 or so and would not suit mrp

3:06 am

morning all

3:07 am

hi sprite

3:07 am

edit

3:07 am

edits

3:07 am

sheesh

3:07 am

so sorry

3:07 am

lol sheesh is not valid, alas ;)

3:10 am

dinner time, 14 left, back later

3:14 am

enjoy dinner, Andree

3:21 am

OMGosh, each time I ciome back I try to find the DA8/50 - any ckue to the definition?

3:22 am

hi Christine, just started so sorry, not yet

3:24 am

Apparently there are five words, this is the last, starting from da4/5 ... but I just can't see this one. It's driving me bonkers.

Kids say the da? things

3:25 am

oh there it is. Most cursed.

3:26 am

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

3:26 am

I think that's seven letters, and it's not accepted.

3:27 am

it is 8 letters, both syllables start with same letter

3:27 am

hi Katie

3:27 am

hello sprite

hi Sprite and Katie

3:30 am

dammit - I had that in my written list, crossed out because I stll can'r see how it gets there. First syllable starts at the top D, then there's a gap before you get to the second syllable, no??

3:31 am

you start at the rightmost D, go up to the a.

3:31 am

arsed should be a word, as in I really can't be!!!

3:32 am

I second that on my own behalf, Katie

But you can have a plural of it

3:32 am

Well, when did a third D appear in my grid -- I know it wasn;t there until you mentioned it, Sprite. Thanks, everyone ... aaaaargh

3:33 am

it doesn't really sum up my feelings quite so well herin

3:33 am

lol Christine!

So you can have 2 ar???? but no plural

3:34 am

live is basically unfair

so i can't have be arsed but I can have 2 ar? how is that possible anatomicly

3:34 am

true BR true

3:34 am

just what I told my son this morning. Hello BabbleRabble, am glad to see you.

3:35 am

lady, you and me together can have 2. Well, 3, if size counts.

3:35 am

5 if we are including mine

3:36 am

:)

I love you guys

3:38 am

un 6/27 clue please

3:38 am

3:39 am

Thanks

3:42 am

I am pretty sure I am about to learn a few new W words.

3:43 am

I know what you mean sprite I still have 7 to go on the ws

3:43 am

exactly and them having to start in the corner doesn't make for more possibilities, lol

3:45 am

dry stream bed

3:45 am

I expect the w's will not be new to you

Babble get out of my head hun. I just said that about a lake here

3:46 am

I do have the stray animal though :)

3:46 am

Howdy folks.. am up with an earache so I babbled away.. short, fun grid with a number of twists and newbies for me.. anyone want a clue before I go back to slumberland?

3:46 am

and plural

3:46 am

hi Aloy, go back to bed, earache is awful :(

HI Aloy

3:47 am

2 more Ws and I don't think I have the stream bed. Let me see if I can find it :)

3:47 am

Hope the recovery is swift, Aloyisius

3:48 am

well, I've learned a lesson for sure.. won't be sticking cotton swabs in my ear canal anymore.. ty BR.. am seeing an otolaryngologist thur. am

Hugs aloy

3:48 am

scratched an itch, became an ouch.. hugs back, lady

3:49 am

3:49 am

3:50 am

3:53 am

3:53 am

and there it is, looks I found mine after I lost them'

3:54 am

wtg, sprite

3:55 am

you were right btw, no really new ones. Just my habitual blindness.

4:33 am

fireworks. Sweet grid.

hi sprite!

hi babrab :)

5:07 am

d

wow, have totally enjoyed this one! The last grid took me very short time, but this one had a few more challenges!!

I still have several words left, so will ask for clues if that is ok??

5:44 am

thanks!

5:44 am

You're welcome

5:44 am

hi, all. It

5:45 am

it's icy and nasty outside, and a good day to Babble.

5:45 am

Wet and nasty outside here.

5:45 am

G'd morning Babblers!

10 inches and still snowing here.

5:47 am

Storm s'posed to start here after lunch. Yuk

that time of the year, i reckon. bad everywhere.

5:47 am

12 to 18 expected here in rutland, snow day for kiddies grrrrr

definitely snow day here too. thank goodness my kids are all grown.

but the grands are off school. i feel sorry for their mama - 4 kids at home unexpectedly. LOL.

Good Morning! We expect a high of 81 today... Current temp 65. It is a bit above normal. I definitely feel for the people in Missouri and the ice storm!

5:49 am

three here

feel sorry for you too then.

hush red ... we don't wanna know! ROFLOL.

actually, wish I was there. the older I get the more I hate the snow.

It is really nice not to worry about snow. But the rain storms are a bit dangerous...

envy is not a pretty thing.

I cant really figure why people stay in places like Michigan, alaska, etc....but I suppose its the way of things, and some people do like skiing.

yeah, and I don't worry about the hurricanes here like you do. guess it can be bad everywhere, just at different times of the year.

The rain even from just tropical storms can be really damaging. and hard to drive in, but...it doesnt hang around.

some of the states like Michigan, Alaska, Wisconsin, etc are used to dealing with the snow and handle it better than we do in the Midwest. We like to think we know how to handle it, but we sure panic whenever we get a few inches or more.

This is true, when I lived in NY, clear roads were never an issue.

5:55 am

Right, I've done the housework and now my reward is a milky coffee, biscuits and babble!

hey there Chris! enjoy your break.

morning Chris P!

5:56 am

thank you I will & morning to all

5:56 am

G'd morning red, Katy, chris, anyone I missed.

5:57 am

could i have a clue for the ve9 pleaseeeee

5:57 am

dont worry just found it

5:57 am

ve 9 is an extension of the 7, a sort of deck on your house

5:57 am

hi all!

morning ata

5:58 am

G'd morning Ata Hari! How's the Hobbitual energy mill?

hello ata dn Lori and cool.

5:59 am

still bouncing after a walk! gah!

5:59 am

hi how are u

5:59 am

Post walk bounce? Uh oh.......

5:59 am

can someone help me with that ve9 spelling please

6:00 am

it's not right ... but actually now she's just gone to lie down so maybe normality is resumed

6:00 am

cool, rhymes with Carmen Mi*****'s last name

6:01 am

then add the obvious extension for the 9, past tense

Ok, so my house has been on the market for an entire 21 hours. I cant imagine why it hasnt sold yet. :(

6:01 am

ty

6:01 am

Abnormal normalcy is hopeful Ata.

6:02 am

how do you past tense one of those? *interested*

6:03 am

Rhymes with a famous Horse...Mr ** :p

6:03 am

***pauses dramatically***

6:03 am

It's not so much a past tense as an adjectival ending, I think.

6:03 am

i've got the word!! i just want to know a sentence with it in

uh, We added a Ve***** to the house and Ve******** it?

6:04 am

I have a house for sale, ve9 on all sides.

how about your house is multip ve******?

i think enable is making up words again.

6:05 am

how very odd!

My house is not Ve****** at all, it is decked in the back.

multgiple, i mean

multiple?

still can't spell it -- multiple! there!

yep.

lol

Yaaay for spelling!

6:06 am

Page 1 Function and Exterior Design of Velonial Houses in New South Wales Miki Watanabe Ashikaga Institute of Technology

6:07 am

***past tense is my story and I'm sticking to it*** :p

as in the house was ve******* before the hurricane? Lori?

Good Morning BR, how are you doing in your hammock?

yeah, that's the ticket! LOL

6:08 am

can i have a clue for the 8 please

6:09 am

Yes, Katy! :D

6:09 am

da 8/50

6:09 am

to do your best, try your da******

6:09 am

ty

6:10 am

Hello all. Winter storm warning til 11 pm tonight. Wahooo!

as in Art Linkletter's "kids say the da*** things"

6:10 am

TY for da8

6:10 am

but how do we decide if it is too bad to drive, or not?

6:11 am

it SOUNDS not good, but then i look at the traffic cams and there are still lots of people on the roads

6:11 am

Ice = no driving

6:11 am

We just drive carefully. And I am leaving early.

6:11 am

No schools are closed here.

6:11 am

G'd mornign Scrabbler. 'Yer sending this annoying storm our way. :(

Hi for a few, folks!

I don't know. Im pondering that too hurshy. They are saying stay home unless you HAVE to go out, but my work isn't closed. Does that count as HAVE to go out? I don't quite know.

6:11 am

no schools here too; not even the local colleges are open

6:11 am

i obviously prefer working from home, and i don't want that to bias my evaluation.

6:11 am

Hey, it came from the midwest.

6:11 am

Hi MG & Walter

6:12 am

and it is supposed to warm up enough to melt the ice by noon

Will probably wait an hour or so and see if the snow ever stops. Yep, it is still in the Midwest Scrabbler. In Indianapolis, at 10 inches now and counting.

6:12 am

da 8? please?

6:12 am

but then they are also saying, here, that the rain and stuff will freeze in the night and so it could be even worse tomorrow!

6:13 am

Well, I MUST go to work, no choice for me.

just clued lynn at 6:10

-1 C and foggy here...

6:13 am

NBC with octuplets story now.

6:13 am

ty

6:13 am

It's about 7-8 C here and overcast - we had rain overnight

6:14 am

da 4/6 first one?

6:14 am

I wish the octuplets well, and hope they don't become chattel like Jon and Kate +8 and the Duggars....

not mama lynn

6:14 am

She did very well to carry them that long, and they were a good size all things being considered.

6:15 am

how long did she carry them?

6:15 am

Yes, 31 wks is great.

Thats just wow to me!

6:15 am

ty

6:15 am

nice

And yes, I agree, I just saw the very Duggar Wedding....seemed to me that Duggar child never had an opportunity to develop his own personality.

6:15 am

the mom won't even let the media report her name, so i think she's going to keep them out of the spotlight as much as possible

6:16 am

da 4/6 third one?

6:17 am

good morning friends! NBT, so I can chat now

Hi Trif!

6:17 am

Sorry Lynn, not done with d yet. G'd morning Tri

6:17 am

Hi Trif

plural lynn

6:17 am

I don't tend to clue successive 4 letter words, lynn

6:17 am

ahhhh ty\

snare

snared

6:18 am

That specific point total should be helpful, only so many combos

OOOPPPSSS!!!!!

Slinking off to PB...

6:18 am

Ooh, TY, MG! Great clues. I figured them out right away.

6:18 am

this is so puke. ALL the towns around us cancelled school - and I do mean ALL, but we still have it.

Oh good! I was afraid they were too obscure...

6:19 am

No schools are closed here.

6:19 am

do you live in DC?

Definitely no School closings here.

Took Walter to school and home today sitting on the sheepsking and wrapped in three wool scarves, a down jacket, and two blankts.

6:20 am

guaranteed, they will send them home early. Why bother? No, phan, south shore of boston - which is closed by the way. so is boston college.

6:20 am

red, I will be at Amelia Island Apr 1-8.

6:20 am

ar 6/18

Trif, it could be that they are avoiding make up days?

Oooh Yaaay!

If my house doesnt sell, I think I will be leaving April 5th... :(

6:21 am

our evil superintendent is also the harbormaster of newport, RI, but only in the summer, so he never cancels school, so he is on time for his summer job.

6:21 am

And go where, red?

No idea Scrabbs. I am now concentrating on selling...

6:22 am

what a lovely summer job!

6:22 am

heeeeeres crossy!:)

6:22 am

i agree, ata, but I resent him putting children in harm's way so that he isn't late for his job.

Hi Crossy!

6:22 am

Hi cwossy, Si-wee Scwabbler and wabbits here!

6:23 am

G'd morning cross.

6:23 am

good morning crossy! I am very cross today!

6:23 am

did someone say wabbits?

mornign Mr Hair!

6:23 am

do you have to make up days that the school closes?

6:23 am

I caught Miss B earlier and snuggled her up.

6:23 am

mmm plump snuggling wabbits

6:23 am

Tri, I simply don't send my children when it's unsafe. The School Board cannot mark it as "missed" if I deem it unsafe for the buses no matter what the Superintendant decides.

6:24 am

not unless we go over 5. which we don't. EVER. secondo was in third grade before she got a snow day.

6:24 am

Here, in western NY, schools build snow days into the yearly schedule as usually 5-7 are used during the winter.

6:24 am

any days not attended due to weather for my boy is marked as a "missed" day

6:25 am

Well, kids, I need an early start on these snowy roads.

6:25 am

ov 9?

6:25 am

I don't think we have that provision here, lori. you are blessed to have it. Primo was so insistent that he go, lest he miss a big math test. It is just so unfair. Most of the teachers live in other towns, so they put themselves at risk to get to our dumb school that is open, when everywhere else they have enough sense to stay the heck home

6:26 am

50 words is a nice start. Enjoy the day all. Be careful driving in the snowstorm, folks.

6:26 am

Tri, that's exactly why parents should speak with the absence of their childrten. Unsafe, is unsafe. Send the message.

6:26 am

the family next door is a mom and dad who are both teachers, but in different towns. Neither of them has to teach today, but their kids had to go!

6:26 am

tri, where do you live?

6:26 am

safe journey scrabbler

6:26 am

morning! yeah, snowday here

6:26 am

Nice job Scrabbler. Drive carefully and have a good one!

6:26 am

norwell, massachusetts

6:27 am

oner

6:27 am

Come on, Lori, confess. You just want the boys to stay at home so that you can get them polishing the silver and abseiling to clean the windows.

6:27 am

oh, what you are describing sounds like DC, they are opening 2 hours late but all the other school districts are closed today

6:27 am

hi haz

6:27 am

Even the local colleges are closed here

6:28 am

ov 9?

6:28 am

Hello cool girl

6:28 am

Haz! Shhhh. Don't let all my secrets out.

OK, just got Walter set up standing on a chair by the window so he can eat lunch and watch them put in the new underground trash bin.

6:28 am

underground trash bin? how does that work?

6:28 am

Sorry, Lori. I should have thought before I typed.

6:29 am

Schools in CT are either closed or have delays. This is because some of the teachers live a distance away. Then days are added to the end of the school year

6:29 am

If children aren't learning, they should be working. Laundry, dishes, vacuuming...the list is endless!

6:29 am

yes, phan here too. when even the colleges are closed you would think our guy would get a clue. wonder what HIS email box will look like today (evil grin)

6:30 am

mmmmm...10 inches of wet heavy sonw on the way i see..all you to the south are getting it first it seems

6:30 am

I'd put that down as learning life skills, Lori. You're a good parent.

6:30 am

cross loves to shovel snow.... :p

They put in a massive concrete liner, then a giant metal trash bin that fits in there neatly and has a small box on the top with a rolly hatch. You put your resident card on the scanner and the hatch unlocks, put the trash bag in the aperture, close the hatch, and the trash drops into the bin. Onve a week a big truck comes and uses a hook to picke the whole bin up, hold it over the truck, and open the bottom. Then they put it back in the ground.

6:30 am

isn't that a reverse of how it usually goes, crossy?

6:31 am

oh that sounds cool monkey!

6:31 am

brb, breakfast is ready

6:31 am

how cool is THAT monkey? walter is not going to budge for hours!

6:31 am

They just played in August after all. It'll roll around soon enough, until then, whip cracking.

6:31 am

You've got it right, sister.

6:31 am

nothing is usual anymore with the weather..used to be able to predict things more accuratly in the past

6:32 am

as the saying goes, the only time they are sure of monday's weather is tuesday

6:32 am

My kids know my motto "children should be seen (rarely) and NEVER heard. :p

6:32 am

exactly

He's alternating between watching this process and watching Wall-E, the new favorite entertainment feature.

6:33 am

d

6:34 am

True, Lori. If they're talking, they're not putting enough effort into things.

Made it half way.

6:35 am

I'm staying home today and alternating snow shoveling with bagel baking

6:35 am

yay red!

6:36 am

ov 9???????????????

6:36 am

bichon, I bet that is just the most amazing smell, baking bagels...

6:36 am

someone say home made bagels?

6:36 am

it's a compound, lynn

I took alter to school and then had my interview with the lady from teh people who might send me household help what with the back problem. Then got Walter and am psyching up to make potstickers-- never made my own dough before.

6:36 am

Time to go. Bye for now.

Bye Haz!

6:36 am

found the ov 9/10!

6:37 am

has walter's tv spot aired yet, monkey?

6:37 am

Laer Haz, have a good one

6:37 am

bye dear! have fun perambulating the canine!

6:37 am

well done lori!

6:37 am

bye haz have a good day

6:37 am

grrrrr i cant find it

6:37 am

Bye!

No, they're probably still editing. The agent said she'll keep on top of it and let me know!

6:37 am

mm must be ov..... something.....

6:37 am

ov 9 = obvious ov 4 + to swap

6:37 am

is that *his* agent, or an agent for the station?

6:38 am

ty

COOL, that got me the 10 as well of course! Thanks!

Walter's agent.

6:39 am

yaaa! got the ov/9:))

6:39 am

it is beyond cool that walter has an agent....

6:39 am

and you should have the 10 crossy

6:39 am

and the ov 10:))

Clue for the left bottom E?

6:39 am

Yea for cross!

6:39 am

more than one plural letter, monkey

6:40 am

bichon, are your bagels good? I've tried making them in the past, and they were...average at best.

It's a casting bureau that specializes in children, the elderly, and... different looking... people.

Thanks Trif!

6:40 am

you are welcome, monkey! its a weird word, that

It is indeed.

6:40 am

Lori, I would say they taste more like "traditional" bagels,. Certainly not like store-bought ones. Dense and chewy.

6:41 am

isn't head overarse a traditional way of falling down?

6:41 am

overt

6:41 am

sorry

6:41 am

so 7???????

6:41 am

bichon, my mom's best friend is a life time new yorker, and she swears it is the city water that makes their bagels taste the way they do

6:42 am

Can I go to the PB. There's no shoveling snow there

6:42 am

Maybe so Trif. I use Britta filtered water in all my yeast bread preparations. The chlorine inhibits yeast rising

6:42 am

***allows bichon to hide from the storm in PB***

only if you bring bagels bichon.

6:43 am

phantom: verdant

6:43 am

Thanks for the info bichon, maybe I'll try again with a different recipe.

6:43 am

didnt get clue?

6:43 am

hmmmm. now i am thinking i want to make bread today....kneading is hell on my carpal tunnel....which of course, babble has made 1,000 time worse!

6:43 am

There are lots of on line recipes, but all are pretty much the same. I sue ones for bread machines

6:44 am

because no-one gave you one

6:44 am

*use

everyone is so energetic, I am thinking of getting back into bed for an hour.

6:44 am

I knead my bread with the Kitchen-Aid

6:44 am

Without a bread machine, I'd be lost. I make a lot of bread and pizza dough

6:44 am

gotta get a laptop, red - I almost always babble in bed

6:44 am

awwww all is normal, lori. hobbit is a seal-shaped lump on the bed, fast asleep

6:44 am

so 7?

Trif, I bought a cheap bread machine-- I let it get me through all the kneading and rising, and then I put the bread in pans and bake it myself.

6:45 am

Sorry Lynn, don't have it, but I'll take a look

I have a lap top, but thinking of sleeping....

6:45 am

so7...most so 4/4

6:45 am

I usually bake mine in the machine, but not always.

6:45 am

Hobbit's just having a delayed day then. Phew!

6:45 am

that's sounds like a good plan, there monkey. I know people love bread machines, but the weird shaped loaves put me way off

extension of so4,4

6:46 am

ty

I like to make rolls and braided bread and stuff. That doesn't work in the machine.

6:46 am

thats arse over teakettle ata..how i always heard it growing up

6:46 am

so 6 27 after that?

trif, My mom kneads and mixes the bread in the machine, but then shapes in loaves and bakes in ov**

6:46 am

Yes, for those breads, I bake in the oven.

Going to have to knead the dough myself for the potstickers though.... uses boiling water and there's no rise and the like.

to the pb crossy

6:47 am

MMMM HOME MADE BREAD

6:47 am

oh, braided bread....now I am really getting a bread jones

6:47 am

that works too!

don't have the so6,27 lynn

6:47 am

is there home made bread in the pb?

i'm going there myself if there is!

Or kimmelwecks-- slightly sweet buns covered in caraway and rock salt.

6:48 am

stop...please...bread..home made..breads..must have...

6:48 am

carraway and I are not friends, unfortunately for me, monkey

6:49 am

I never understood the like for carraways seeds either Trif

6:49 am

***places fresh bread in pb for cross***

6:49 am

ok whos making bread im hungry lol

scampers in there to grab it too!

6:49 am

un 6/27 please?

Ooh, exciting part-- they're putting the bin in the ground with the Giant Hook. Walter says I must go watch too. BRB.

6:58 am

6:59 am

im not finding the ve 7

6:59 am

thanks, katy..would never have the PT and congrats angel

well, they just used the "nitemarish" word regarding traffic here. guess I'd better get ready and get on the road. have a good day all and be safe in the weather.

6:59 am

oh, god, parents, help me: secondo just called in tears, she forgot her social studies stuff, and could I pleeeez drop it off at the school? keep in mind, she also forgot her sketch book for art class at her dad's and he is dropping that off later. every day it's something else. If I just refuse, it's a flood, and begging, and guilt

6:59 am

Lynn... a porch perhaps in Hawaii

7:00 am

if it is really neded,deliver it..if it is optional then do not

7:00 am

Trif, If you dont mind my butting in...go, mother dear

7:00 am

hmmmm i think i need to be slapped, not seeing it

7:00 am

What are parents for..get over there and drop it off :-)

Trif take it to her but you and she need to work out a plan to help her remember everything she needs to take each day

7:01 am

She should have remembered it, as this appears to be a pattern.....

7:01 am

annie, I don't mind at all - it's why I asked...but really, we are talking three, sometimes four trips to school a week here, and then more at night, when she leaves stuff at school she needs at home. I am starting to really feel like an enabler here.

7:02 am

Gotta' break a cycle sooner or later. If tears do the trick, it'll only get worse.

7:02 am

my kid used to try to get me to deliver crazy things to school,recreational stuff,i did so at the start then if he forgot his ball or hockey stick then he had to come get it

7:02 am

what would she have done before cell phones and such things?!!

7:03 am

i just can't stand the hatred later. she will get docked a grade, or whatever, and then it is all rage at ME because I wouldn't drop it off. she needs to take responsiblity for herself.

7:03 am

trif, you have to work out a plan..the night before she puts everything she needs where she will see it before she leaves for school

7:03 am

4 trips a week ???????? If you feel like an enabler, to be blunt, there's prob'ally a ring of truth there.

7:03 am

annie, trust me, I try, i really do. I ask her to do that, I check it, but still this nonsense happens. I wish I had just told her no. I hate this

7:04 am

***Lori better shut up now*** :)

7:04 am

no lori, don't, I need a good snap-to. I am so tired of her drama

7:05 am

Oh dear, trif..then you might have to clamp down on the trips. Drama, schwama. Never worked here. I became conveniently deaf.

7:05 am

thanks you all. I needed a good kick.

7:05 am

Well then, face it, brace for it and stand your ground. It'll get worse before it gets better. She knows you don't want a scene. Tough noogies girl.

7:05 am

I'd accaidentally leave the phone off the hook during school hours :P

7:06 am

I'm with Annie, what she said.

7:06 am

i think my concern is how to get the message across to her without denting her self esteem in the process

7:06 am

as a extreme example my wifes brother still lives at home ,still gets his laundry done,still gets things delivered to class..he is 36

7:07 am

don't tell her she's an idiot.

7:07 am

why would it damage her self-esteem to make sure she has everything she needs for school or she'll just have to deal?

7:08 am

Trif may I ask a question. How old is she? She should realise that her lack of responsibility is not your fault. If she loses grades it is her fault, not yours. Therefore she should sort it.

7:08 am

Self esteem for facing her responsibility? Don't even give that a thought.

7:08 am

just say, honey, you need to be responsible.

7:08 am

lol note all the brits go "tough! let her deal!"

7:09 am

Say everything once in a loving way and then let it go for a week or two. Dont bring anything to school and see what happens. AND get ear plugs.

7:09 am

someday, you will have a job, and if you leave an important presentation at home, i won't be there to bring it to you, so you need to start finding a way to remember your things.

7:09 am

What damages self esteem more, being absolved of responsibility or being made to take responsibility?

7:09 am

she is in 7th grade, so she is 12. I meant, I want to tell her WHY I am making the decision, i.e., there have been four trips this week alone, both dad and I are having to do it, etc. But spelling it out like that might make her feel really bad. Or, it might wake her up. I guess you never know.

7:09 am

as the lone ignored male,crossy will shut up...

7:10 am

Exactly Ata. She'll be after a servant for the rest of her life.

7:10 am

and she should feel bad about dragging you out to school nearly every day!

7:10 am

that is exactly my concern, lori. I cannot STAND people who blame everyone else for their problems, and I do see her starting down that path. want to nip it in the bud NOW

7:10 am

v see hurshy's suggested dialogue v

7:10 am

I heard ya' cross, it's not a female male issue, it's "don't be so easily manipulated" issue!

7:11 am

at 12 I would have got a *tirade* from my mum if I'd forgotten something vital and asked her to bring it to school. And she wouldn't have done so anyway!

7:11 am

Then you already know what to do Tri. You have to just do it.

7:11 am

Trif, she knows you and her Dad are bringing her things to school. Has this just started this term?

7:11 am

pretty much, annie. she is in a weird place right now. started about three weeks ago.

7:11 am

Not being funny Trif but my six year old granddaughter has to take responsibilty for things needed for school and if she forgets thay do not get baken to her.

7:12 am

i only ever got something delivered once,if i forgot again it was my problem.that would be grade 4 and beyond

7:12 am

gosh, we're harsh over here, aren't we! ;)

7:12 am

you really don't need to mention the inconvenience to you and her father, i think. focus on HER development... wait, 3 weeks? what changed? did you just separate/divorce? is she trying to make your paths cross?

7:13 am

frances, the new prinicpal at the elem school made it a policy her first day there - things brought to school are not given out, unless it is a lunch. you forget it, it's is your problem. I love her for that, but a lot of other parents flipped. wish the middle school would do it.

7:13 am

Trif, Might it have anything to do with your separation? You could assure her that you both love her very very much but that you and her Dad are not delivery people

7:13 am

yes, hurshy! he left right before halloween

7:13 am

gm

7:13 am

hello all............if i may interject a bit.........my kids got one free trip to bring forgotten items a year........after that, they had to pay me out of their allowance...............they quickly learned to not forget things

7:13 am

yes, I wonder if it does. she might just be extra distracted

7:14 am

Hello KJE

7:14 am

oh, good idea kalea! I do something similar regarding curfew - one dollar a minute for each minute they are late.

7:14 am

GOOD IDEA, Kalea!!

7:14 am

good idea kalea

7:14 am

If you let he divorce be an excuse for everything, I assure you, it'll be manipulated beyond belief. Irregardless of you and your husband, the expectations for her conduct remain the same.

7:14 am

it won't take nooner

7:14 am

no one ever had a nooner?

7:14 am

lol Kalea. That rocks!

7:14 am

lol, kje, I tried that one too!

7:14 am

annie! crisis! I ran out of peet's!

7:14 am

a nooner? crossy loves nooners

7:15 am

easy there boy. it wasn't an offer!

7:15 am

well if it'is not a personality trait, then talking to her about responsibility isn't really the answer... if the root of the problem is that she's trying to get you to cross paths, she probably needs another talk about your situation (in addition to kalea's idea!)

7:15 am

what's a nooner?

7:15 am

***snickers at kje*** :D

7:15 am

ata!!!! rofl

7:15 am

*the jet is in the driveway--will be there before noon to deliver Peets to kje* hang in there, girl

7:15 am

*something* you do at noon

7:16 am

thanks annie! i had to drink tea!

7:16 am

looks like annie is delivering nooners! wahoo!

7:16 am

yaaa for nooners!

7:16 am

LOL trif

7:16 am

poor annie

7:16 am

Ata I love your picture. Did you take it?

7:16 am

*drops 5 lbs of Peet's coffee on kje's roof*

7:17 am

yes, a few days ago - some many of the fields wer flooded around here

7:17 am

very generous of you annie.... but next time, aim for the front lawn!

7:17 am

okay. have to go now. bus stop shuffle #2, and my LAST EVER forgotten item drop off at middle school.

7:17 am

*pulling out ladder*

7:17 am

thanks everyone!

7:17 am

you could also say, this is a hard time for all of us, and we all need to try to be strong, and i need you to help me by remembering your stuff

7:17 am

Shame about the floods but gave you a great picture.

7:17 am

hagd trif

7:17 am

Good for you Tri. Stand your ground.

7:18 am

hurshy, that is also good advice

7:18 am

Well done Trif........but mean it.

7:18 am

I've gotta go too. Back later!

7:18 am

Bye Ata.

7:19 am

Later Tri, Ata

7:19 am

Trif, are you still here?

7:19 am

7:54 am

latin sort of ending,scientific,olde englishe

been doing them for years zoom!! get to know the babblets and you are half way to freedom

I have all the babble terms (so far) in my profile. I would really like some terms for 'words you know you have typed into the grid, but didn't go onto the word list'.... and 'words you ask for but find before you get a clue'

7:56 am

hawaiian for goose and pfft and your home free;)

I just can't seem to find the ar4/4... second one... and does the ar6/18 come off it??

mr p that ar would be a butt

8:00 am

Haha, nice one Nono

8:01 am

Morning Babblers. I'm just popping into chog for a minute to say this grid looks easier than it is for me (gotta go in 5 minutes; I have 44 words and then many many words the grid won't accept!)

morning Nef

hi Nef! :))

8:02 am

you're not zoom, it happens to all of us!! hi all

zoom, it is not thickness. it is fishworthy

8:03 am

Morning Nan and MRP. How are you guys doing with this grid? (Is it just morning playing tricks on me?)

8:08 am

8:09 am

well, for me not being a morning person (but needing to be one now) I'm not seeing anything at this point

8:09 am

nothing wrong with 45 in half an hour!

8:10 am

8:50 am

Hi, neighbors! There's an icey crust on everything this morning.

8:51 am

hi judi!

8:57 am

All you Babblers are very quiet today.

8:58 am

hi, judi, the babbling brook is frozen over.. :)

8:58 am

we have icy rainy slush right now over about3 inches of snow

we have about 2 in. of sleet on the ground here

hi all!

8:59 am

snow day for me - but I have to go out later to take my husband to a doctor's appointment

geez! is 2am! I really should go to sleep... (not tired at all!)

8:59 am

did you lose power, mag mom? I heard the ice storm was bad

hi judi, magmom, JBV et al :))

9:00 am

hi mr p!

no, thank goodness, we had sleet mostly, not ice

but it is a slippery mess and we are on day 2 of no school

9:01 am

morning, all

no school?? is it school holidays over there??

morning jade

hi jade!!! ((((hugs)))) long time no see hun!

9:02 am

a day or two at home is great - I love it

9:02 am

Hi MR P! ((((HUGS))))

no mrp, we had an ice storm and the buses can't get the kids to school

9:02 am

no mr p - we have to close schools when the road conditions are very bad like today

9:02 am

No holidays, Mr. P. Just a bad winter storm that has left us coated in ice and snow.

ah, we should have that here too, when it is too hot!

9:03 am

good idea! snow days, hot days, what else can we think of to have a day off..

9:04 am

Don't forget bad hair days, JBV!

the kids from Kindergarten, Year 1 and Year 2 have no aircon... so we don't expect them to show up. But Year 3-6 have aircon and must come to school

9:04 am

I heard a report that it was 60 degrees Celsius yesterday at the tennis game - is that true? seems impossible!

9:04 am

that might be every day for me Judi , LOL

9:04 am

Tis summer down under this time of year.

9:05 am

but sixty degrees is ridiculous - it's about 140 degrees or something like that

60 Celsius?? no... it was 45 C... and with 85% humidity!... it would have been about 55C in the sun!!!

yes JBV, it is deadly weather

9:05 am

oh, ok, then, just the media exaggerating wildly again

9:05 am

an 5 please?

oh no!! those type of temperatures may as well be 80 degrees C!! it is nasty

mkg.... not far

9:06 am

you know, we're joking, but if you remember there was aterrible heat wave in Europe a few years ago, I remember because a friend of mine died in the hospital when there was no air conditioning and temperatures were around 105 F

9:06 am

hello everyone

JBV, that is the major problem! if you don't hydrate, you die

burple may sound too much like the color...burble (blends more babble into the word)

she is a German Shepard/Collie mix, but she thinks she is just a very furry human

9:18 am

I see your point Pini. I really liked rebab :-)

11:02 am

hi dorens

11:02 am

11:02 am

11:03 am

hi jellen

11:03 am

hi westy

11:03 am

hi kje

11:03 am

I put the news on so they can tell me it's snowing

11:03 am

Don't remember univac, but have heard of it...

11:04 am

guess I'm going to stay out of bread

11:04 am

It's a blindingly bright day here...

11:04 am

typical RI people are stealing snow plows

11:05 am

here too - 22 this morning but the sun is brilliant

11:05 am

you must have all the sun

11:05 am

i am always amazed at how whenever there's a snow coming, the supermarkets overflow with people who think they just can't survive for one day without going out,

it's 16C outside but drizzling intermittently

11:05 am

we have cat food that's all that matters lol

11:05 am

so true, dorens -

11:06 am

univac was linkletter's computer... which was as big as a small bedroom, which I remember clearly... and thirty years ago when we were told every home would one day have a computer I could only think of that

11:06 am

RI?

11:06 am

stealing snowplows???

11:06 am

25

11:06 am

oh, how nice... I hear the sound of someone shoveling my walk!

11:06 am

off the front of trucks and suv's

11:07 am

this is really a quite zippy little grid for the most part

19

11:07 am

go kj go!!

11:07 am

wow westford, rhode island's a tough town!! ;-)

11:07 am

someone put a note on the mailbox..for shoveling

11:07 am

23... sure you don't want to race josh ; )

who said we aren't?

11:08 am

nano is a word, shame on Enable

i've got a secret camel weapon

11:08 am

apparently they steal the trucks and they're found later minus the plows

11:08 am

I wouldn't walk a mile for one

11:08 am

Hi, bichon

11:08 am

Kje, I just had a discussion with my friend about aceptable Hb A1C levels. I was told that anything under 7 was good. He begs to differ and says under 6

I'm happy and I believe in what my MD tells me.

11:12 am

what does hb stand for?

11:13 am

or is it bh?

11:13 am

Hemoglobin. HbA1C is a blood test that takes into account your blood sugar levels over a 3 month period. It's so you can't cheat the day before your doctor's visit

11:14 am

12:42 pm

A techie question. I have just changed to safari as my web browser and can't get it to paste into lickety (I use the old list) does anyone know the way round it?

12:43 pm

hi all.. katie, i use safari anad it does paste into lickety (i don't have the expert cause i have a mac)

12:44 pm

crossy uses firefox

12:44 pm

ata uses firefox

12:44 pm

actually, i use firefox on my big imac, but safari on the little macbook

12:45 pm

ever since the bug filled I.E 6 ive never gone back to it

12:46 pm

I can't get it to work, it seems to copy the stuff OK but won't paste

12:46 pm

I hate IE with a passion

12:47 pm

I use safari on my iphone and love it so thought I would go over to it. I might pop into IE just to paste and them come back to safari

12:48 pm

don't understand that.. i'm not a tech whiz, but i know safari and lickety are compatible here

12:48 pm

sorry katie,ive never heard of safari

12:49 pm

I'll try again tomorrow and then email Lickety if I can't get it working. My cunning plan has worked for today :-)

12:49 pm

just did it here and now, on the imac, and it worked fine

12:51 pm

oh well, now that I did it to check if it works, i might as well enjoy it.. will certainly help me find these 66 faster

12:51 pm

hmmmm might be because I haven't got a mac and am using safari on windows system. At least I know a way round it for now, and that it does work on a mac

12:51 pm

Thank you Dorens

1:15 pm

mm..you saw it that..okay

1:15 pm

3 -- so glad i opened the list

ve-9 is PITA

1:15 pm

haha owl, i remember those days... we used to go somewhere up route 17. and something called the golden duck

we went to mother's in greenwood lake.

1:16 pm

funny. hackensack and teaneck, you'd think we'd have gone to the same places

1:17 pm

is hackensack a place?

1:17 pm

the town next to teaneck... owl and i grew up quite close to one another, it turns out

LOl and I'm sure we would have met, too! maybe we did but i was too under the weather to remember it.

1:18 pm

what wonderful names!

1:18 pm

back in those days i used a different substance for the most part

then we would go the that large chrome diner on 17 for a bite to eat

1:19 pm

i loved smoking pot... didn't think it made me as stupid as drinking did... but of course, we're talking about back in the 60's

they are indian ata - the indians are , phonetically, hackensacki

1:19 pm

ohhhh ty that makes sense!

1:20 pm

the oritani indians (as they were called back then... now native americans).... in fact the movie theater we used to go to every saturday afternoon was the oritani... i'm sure we met there as kids!

and the town gave it's name to the hacky sack!!! :)

1:20 pm

apocryphy

I'm sure we did, doren - you did not go the the Queen ?

1:21 pm

i remember the fox and the oritani -- and sometimes actually the teaneck, or whatever the name was of the theater on Cedar Lane.. where was the queen?

oritam was the chief, i thought the tribe was the source of hackensack...the city seal has oritam on it.

i though that was the one on cedar lane - still there.

1:22 pm

oh yes of course... you would know better

1:22 pm

really? i'll have to drag Ken there someday to see a movie for old time's sake

not necessaryily - i am well on the way to losing my mind.

gee ata aren't you glad you asked? ;)

1:23 pm

arent we all

1:23 pm

Hackensack was the home field of Chief Oritam, leader of the Achkinkeshackey Indians

1:24 pm

(googled it, don't get too impressed)

sorry :( it's fun reminiscing

1:24 pm

its good to learn something new each day :P

1:24 pm

i am looking for three evasive little rascals

yes and you can learn our area being so near NY was greatly steeled by dutch vice british.

sorry - "settled"

1:25 pm

actually teaneck was a corruption of Ten Eyck... a dutch name

1:26 pm

i will be back later... i am determined to find these three last words without morewords...

1:26 pm

teaneck is a great name

1:26 pm

1:58 pm

wa 7/48 s'il vous plait?

1:58 pm

you know, i really don't understand the french. i know, people say about the wine, but honestly, it seems like they go out of their way to make food fattening. i was thinking about this while making french toast the other day. i was imagining i was an early gaul and thinking, now how can i make TOAST fattening... i know, dip it in EGG!

i understand when are anchovies and sardines the same thing? without the bones?

2:05 pm

they show a dog a series of inkblots, and every one, the dog says, "it's bacon!" and then they show a pic of a bag of begg'n strips and the dog says, "it's bacon!" and the tag line is "dogs don't know it's not bacon". well apparently they don't know ANYTHING is not bacon, so why would we waste our money?

2:05 pm

3:49 pm

we have had bitter COLD and sun shine

3:50 pm

lynxxx, if the schools are closed we have the day off - road conditions were very bad in the a.m.

3:50 pm

I do not know what I want to eat, but it looks like ti will involve salmon.

3:50 pm

I'm a teacher. My school was closed because of snow.

3:51 pm

sounds very reasonable!

3:51 pm

red, I made salmont this week - lightly breaded, baked in the oven - delicious!

Amazing, it was in the low 80's today.

3:51 pm

what grade do you teach, Min?

Nice JBV.

3:51 pm

I teach English as a Second Language (ESL) all grades

3:52 pm

no way! that is my field, too! was an ESL teacher for many many years - now i direct a bilingual/esl program

3:52 pm

yesterday we had a low of -20*

3:53 pm

is english as a second language a remedial course for those who were disinclined to learn it the first time?

3:54 pm

no, BR, i know you're kidding - it's second for those who learned another language first (chronologically)

3:54 pm

Wow! That's great JBV! I LOVE ESL.I could NEVER be a classroom teacher! I believe that the ESL students are better behaved than the monolingual students.

3:55 pm

Min and JBV were you regular teachers before you became ESL teachers?

3:55 pm

well, most of them have intrinsic motivation which counts for a lot, but of course "ESL students" is a broad category, covering different ages, backgrounds, languages, educational experiences, etc.

3:55 pm

May I please have a clue for ra5-12? Thanks

3:56 pm

regular, peri - do you mean we are now irregular?

3:56 pm

last word and I cantfind it

3:56 pm

I am a retired social worker, thinking of becoming an ESL teacher for Adults

3:56 pm

I taught adult ESL classes for several years. I like to work w/all ages.I think that there are advantages & disadvantages to working with both the age groups.

3:56 pm

sorry, but i've been answering questions like that for 38 years.... :)

3:56 pm

its a u6

3:56 pm

I meant classroom teacher :-)

3:56 pm

my daughter is a teachers aid and health aid and she loves it :)

3:56 pm

Oh, sorry, that is ra5-12 the 1st.

3:56 pm

any help please?

3:57 pm

peri it is a great profession- very satisfying and very needed

3:57 pm

guess it depends on the class you are assigned to, PJ

3:57 pm

ra5/12 is plural of the ra 4/5 word gapeach1066 & hi

3:57 pm

ra 5 -- add, Johnson or Pardo's first

3:57 pm

My undergraduate degree in in elem. ed. but I never taught after graduation

3:57 pm

and I have taught all ages too from pre-k to college - each group has its special attraction

3:57 pm

un 6/24 is to something that is not finished yet kallia

3:58 pm

does it require lots of training?

3:58 pm

I was trained as a Spanish and French teacher - never did that, got my first job in ESL, have stayed there forever

3:58 pm

un 6 --- alive

3:58 pm

I have that on Minver, thanks :)

3:58 pm

kinergarden and young 4's

3:58 pm

the kids are really cute at that age, PJ

3:58 pm

oh shoot...thanks BR

3:59 pm

congrats, Kallia

3:59 pm

BabbleRabble, thanks, but I don't know them.

3:59 pm

yes they are :)

3:59 pm

thanks :)

3:59 pm

I have one a left, the ar5 from the top a, any hints?

3:59 pm

peri, about the training, I think it depends on the state you're in - NJ has specific requirements for certification

4:00 pm

I am in PA

4:00 pm

ar5...stadiumlike

ok, taking dog out and dealing with my dinner.

4:00 pm

to teach adults, it's different, - have you contacted an adult ESL center? they would be able toa dvise you

4:00 pm

I looked into it last year. Seemed like a lot of work. Will look into it again.

See you guys laters.

4:00 pm

I have never been a classroom teacher which is why I say I could never be a classroom teacher. I have so respect for those who are classroom teachers. They really have their work cut out for them.I don't know how they do it! But I love my job and love what I do.

4:00 pm

bye red

4:00 pm

bye Red

4:00 pm

really need to find a part time job

4:00 pm

bye red - enjoy your dinner

4:00 pm

ra 5 --- add, ***ald duck

4:01 pm

that is great Min, never was able to say that about social work

4:01 pm

Bless you BabbleRabble.

4:01 pm

I will do that JVB\

4:02 pm

peri, we ESL teachers like to joke that we are really social workers, too - it comes with the territory

4:02 pm

9 left

4:02 pm

well then I would be good at it. I was good as a social worker too, but it had its frustrating moments

4:03 pm

are there any NU words?

4:03 pm

when you are dealing with people in need, it can be frustrating, but also as I said, deeply rewarding

4:03 pm

The Social Worker in my school does not give "social work" a great reputation,however,I know that they have a tough job to do. I could never do that either.

4:03 pm

so much gets shunted off on teachers, almost need an advanced degree in psychology

4:03 pm

no nu

4:04 pm

I worked in hospitals

4:04 pm

ty

4:04 pm

don't think I want to work with people in need again tho

4:04 pm

I think ALL teachers are social workers in a way,not just ESL teachers. Teachers have to wear many hats

4:04 pm

true, BR, but good teachers have an instinct for dealing with people, after all these years, i believe there is a limit to what training can do - it has to come from within

4:06 pm

well, in my view, better parenting goes a long way to helping teachers

4:06 pm

I agree JBV :)

4:07 pm

Yes, definitely BabbleRabble! I see the effects of bad parenting everyday. I teach in an inner city school.

4:07 pm

re5/12 pls

4:08 pm

actually, BR, we have ongoing parenting classes for exactly that reason

4:08 pm

what district, Min? (i'm originally from NYC)

4:08 pm

It's hard to get through to a child if you do not have parental support.Some parents don't value education

4:08 pm

as far as coming from within, that is a trait that every profession and career needs

4:08 pm

re 5/12 is re plus the spanish word for day periwinkle

4:09 pm

thanks Min

4:09 pm

yw

4:10 pm

too often, the parent/teacher relationship is adversarial .... a lot different from years ago

4:12 pm

If the parents don't value education, neither do the students & I see that everyday in my school district.

4:14 pm

Hi folks, back after getting a phone call from DH. Seems snow is letting up, in Columbus at least.

5:39 pm

5:39 pm

lol

5:39 pm

may i ask what kind of cancer you had?

5:39 pm

i had 3...

5:40 pm

yes, i saw that.wasn't sure if had a recurrence or diff types

5:40 pm

seminoma,non hodkins lympnoma,and the nodes behind my left boob neede a small blast of chemo

5:40 pm

so the 3rd was a repeat..sort of

5:41 pm

the node system is a cancer highwway

5:41 pm

i had Hodgkins..cancer of lymph system

5:41 pm

actually they are all related when you think on it

5:41 pm

yup same sort of thing

5:42 pm

chemo or radiation?

5:42 pm

glad you made it..sounds trite..but good for you..both, and extensive surgery

5:42 pm

im glad you came out on top also krista:)

5:43 pm

i was at stage 3 with no symptoms..very blessed it was even found..has been 28 years so I'm good

5:44 pm

i often give day to day living with cancer advice to people on the net now,its amazing what the dr,s dont tell you as you try to recover at home

5:44 pm

no..22 years..i'm not THAT old yet

5:44 pm

mine were all stage 3 a matched set;)

5:45 pm

it's good to be consistent ;)

5:45 pm

(popping in for a p.s. -) i'll second that, crossy, about recovering i mean

5:45 pm

im getting ready to go to 6 month exams now so am doing good

5:46 pm

ty jbv;)

5:46 pm

my husband's cancer was successully removed with surgery, no recurrence, but the last 7 years have been an on-going ordeal of aftereffects of radiation

5:46 pm

that can be brutal jbv, for sure

5:47 pm

well they always do a disclaimer in the papers i signed,there is a 10% chance of gettin unrelated cancers from the effects of treatment after 10 years

5:47 pm

i've told him about you, crossy, about your upbeat outlook and ability to talk about it

5:47 pm

us postal service considering 5-day/week delivery to save money..interesting

5:48 pm

you have to be upbeat..ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING in the battle with the big c

5:48 pm

he has a different approach right now, don't know whether it's the best - of not telling anyone what he has been and is going through

5:48 pm

i still worry about secondary cancers..dont let it consume me, but the thought it always there

5:48 pm

ill tell anyone,cause it has enabled me to help others,its silence that can kill

5:48 pm

most of our family do not know the details of his medical history - he's very sensitive and private about it since it involves colo-rectal and urinary systems

5:49 pm

everyone is different..men usuallly more reticent..you are unique, crossy

5:49 pm

hell im missing my left nut..dosent matter to me

5:49 pm

ROLF..you GO, crossy..i dont believe you just said that

5:49 pm

lol wife has said im one of a king;)

5:49 pm

kind*

5:50 pm

one of a king, tell her we concur

5:50 pm

aww; crossy blushes

5:50 pm

shall we bow down before you, your majesty?

5:50 pm

i'm sure you've seen Tom Green's documentary of his ordeal?

5:51 pm

best wishes you two, i'm off for now - see you later or tomorrow

5:51 pm

lol..im just a man who helps others and if i can help one person deal with cancer just a little better then my forwardness with my own is all worth it

5:51 pm

bye now, jbv

5:51 pm

no i have not krista

5:52 pm

that reminds me..is my addy in that profie?

5:52 pm

OH MY..you are in for a treat if you ever get the chance to see it...he is a Canadian comedian, actually..he had testicular cancer and documented his surgery, etc.

I like them but not on me

7:37 pm

nrkii, horrible.

I'm going to get the dishwasher loaded BBL!

7:38 pm

nah, i've got the real thing coming up soon!

7:38 pm

well, daddylonglegs are better than a house infested with CRICKETS

eeeuuu daddylonglegs & centipedes are my nemesis

7:39 pm

certainly less noisy Madi

the flying daddylonglegs that is

7:39 pm

Madi, I'd have to agree... I've had all sorts of bugs in the places I've lived, but never crickets

7:39 pm

ew, nrkii..that would be gross...right, madi..at least they are quiet, unlike crickets

7:39 pm

centipedes I have now

It is Daddylonglegs opps. Crickets are a pest but good eating for animale

fleas...fleas are the worst she says...

7:39 pm

earwigs are the worst..they are Satan's spawn

the centipedes here are up to 10cm long! EEWW

7:39 pm

fleas would also be bad

Caterpillars apparently are a big problem in Liberia currently, I am concerned.

errr We had a native bush flea infestation at our old house. Totally different to dog fleas

7:40 pm

my centipedes are considerably smaller, and they're "house centipedes" so harmless but gross

7:40 pm

earwigs... had them

Ok now I am not so sure I can finish strawberries.

7:40 pm

I think I may have just missed this, but what does the 8 start with?

oh nrk, these ones are gross and sooooo fast, but since we weeded the garden we don't have so many!

7:41 pm

I always end up lliving in old houses, with lots of great bug hiding places

Red strawberries are yummy

7:41 pm

da8

I hate bugs! )0:

7:41 pm

TY!

7:41 pm

I don't like strawberries, although I did name my store after them

7:41 pm

Lind, my centipedes are stupid... they climb halfway up the wall and sit there waiting for me to git'm

7:42 pm

if I miss, then they're fast

7:42 pm

da 8/50: I'm trying my da****** to finish the grid nrkii

I like them and they are indeed fruit. creating a balanced meal. LOL

7:42 pm

Good. She is tolerating him

10:28 pm

and cats nap ... intermittently and interminably, especially house cats

10:28 pm

that's great. probably the best you can expect from her, at least for a long while

oh yes.

10:28 pm

outdoor cats tend to be much more active

That and its revolting hot

10:28 pm

send a little heat this way??

10:29 pm

i need one more u is it a un like the other 3

its 110 F at the moment

10:29 pm

10:29 pm

Yes, wrath

10:29 pm

owww-owtch

10:29 pm

un 4, 6, 4, 6

10:29 pm

ok

that and its only going down to the high 90's over night

10:30 pm

we've got about 40F, a bit cooler than average for this latitude, but this is a miserably cold winter, pretty much throughout N. America

err

10:30 pm

you gonna sleep under the AC? or do you have to fight the cats for that?

10:31 pm

we're at 36F right now...what latitude are you on, tyger?

aircon is on and so is fan

10:31 pm

ummm, lemme check? BRB

10:31 pm

(I'm on the 45th parallel)

brb going to go outside and get washing on line or off line if its crispy

10:31 pm

sounds almost unbearably hot, herin!

10:32 pm

how about the left bottom e

it is. its not going to get below 30C till next week

brb

10:32 pm

approx 35deg latitude, pini

10:32 pm

phonetic spelling of the PL letter

10:33 pm

21F here...Latitude. 36° 53'N

10:33 pm

you're further north than I am, Jellen...whereabouts are you?

10:33 pm

Hello hello hello everyone!

10:33 pm

I don't have a GPS machine, so I can't check precisely

10:33 pm

hey, amy

10:33 pm

brb...gonna check my latitude

10:33 pm

Northeast Oklahoma

10:33 pm

hi BAA

10:33 pm

haven't seen you lately

10:34 pm

my GPS is in the car...

10:34 pm

I looked it up on Yahoo, tyger!

10:34 pm

Hi, Blue!

10:34 pm

hi, and bye, tyger!

10:34 pm

i'm off to bed

10:34 pm

oh? how did you do that, jellen?

10:34 pm

did that help, wrath?

10:34 pm

G'night, dc...

10:34 pm

nite, dc

10:34 pm

night dc!

10:34 pm

I've been swamped at work during the week and we've been adventuring on weekends... but I can't stay away from Babble for too long! :-)

10:34 pm

g'night and happy babbling! {poof}

10:34 pm

bye dc!

10:35 pm

not yet

10:35 pm

I just typed my city, state, and latitude in the search bar...

10:35 pm

I was 1 off...I'm actually at 44

10:35 pm

LOL, amy. ain't it the truth!

10:35 pm

phonetically spell the PL letter and then repeat

10:35 pm

well, I guess I'm too lazy to do that tonite, but I'll remember it; thx

10:35 pm

but hey, i look at it this way: for some people, it's heroin. Others can't stop gambling. Is babble REALLY that bad to be addicted to? ;-)

10:35 pm

what city tyger?

10:36 pm

I think it's a positive addiction personally!

10:36 pm

call it Jackson, pini. I think we're at the same latitude (straight east of Jan)

10:36 pm

I'm addicted to the people as much as the puzzle :-)

10:36 pm

me too! keeps our brains young :-)

10:36 pm

me too! keeps our brains young :-)

10:36 pm

most definitely, jellen!

10:37 pm

very true, amy. it's a beneficial addiction, IMO :D

10:37 pm

are you somewhere down south, tyger?

10:37 pm

we are an interesting bunch - especially taken as a whole. so much variation

10:37 pm

i don't type much but I like to figure out the clues

10:37 pm

Jackson, MS, pini

10:37 pm

sorry about that

10:38 pm

you're about 32 latitude

10:39 pm

Jackson, MS Latitude: 32.32 N, Longitude: 90.20 W

10:39 pm

from middle-schoolers to 80+ years, from all around the globe, and every kind of religion, ethnicity, gender orientation, etc

10:39 pm

thx, jellen, pini

10:39 pm

most definitely, tyger...such diversity!

10:39 pm

when I looked in my atlas, it just looked as though we were halfway between 30deg & 40deg :D

10:40 pm

i love discovering how like-minded we all are in ways that, in my opinion, matter most...

10:40 pm

and we mostly all get along!! :D :D :D

10:40 pm

agreed!

10:40 pm

you're right about that, amy. no word-haters will stick around

10:41 pm

generally open-minded, and all that good stuff

10:41 pm

i mean, there's nothing really about the game itself that should theoretically attract people who think along the same lines, but it just happened to work out that way :-)

10:41 pm

think about what same lines, amy? now I'm confused

10:41 pm

i'm gettin all warm n' fuzzy inside :-D

10:41 pm

LOLOL

10:42 pm

oh, just conversations i've seen and participatedin on here on a variety of topics and issues

10:42 pm

It seems that games like this (words) bring together open-minded people with a desire to just learn, talk, have fun, etc., all at the same time.

10:42 pm

Word nerds are interesting and inquisitive people for the most part...

10:42 pm

finally got it thanks

10:42 pm

this is true, jellen

10:42 pm

Hello all

10:42 pm

10:44 pm

10:44 pm

Hi Gwen :-)

10:44 pm

you *might* still be able to finish, jilli. it didn't seem that hard to me

stopped snowing but the roads are still a bit hazardous. My car was stuck atop a densely packed pile of snow for about 30 mins, 3 of us digging, finally a guy with SUV towed me out, yay

10:44 pm

no way, Pini! Too tired!

10:44 pm

* begins to unroll the finish line tape *

10:45 pm

so glad that guy came along for you, gwen!

10:45 pm

You can do it, jilli!! Use lickety and us!

10:45 pm

today was library day, wasn't it, jilli??

my new 16-y-o car is pretty good in the snow, but this particular pile was just too big

10:46 pm

what kind of car, gwen?

10:46 pm

Glad a nice, handy person came along, Gwen!

it's a tiny little ford escort wagon

10:46 pm

GWEN is that a DALEK?!?

yes, i was very very glad too!

10:47 pm

you

10:47 pm

are

10:47 pm

brb

10:47 pm

awesome :-)

blue, yes, i espouse all that is Doctor Who 8-)

10:47 pm

I'm watching an episode as we speak :-D

10:47 pm

I'm watching an episode as we speak :-D

ty blue!!! 8-D

10:47 pm

yes, tyger -- and a deadline for doing a writeup of duplicate bridge results -- I can't just provide a list -- had to do some embellishments like giving the various ways of wishing a happy new year in Chinese (that was the date of the last game)

10:47 pm

::sigh:: David Tennant is dreeeeeeamy......

10:47 pm

(American Idol here)

very cool. i have been watching old ones, in order, with a friend who has not seen them ever. we are up to 1978

blue, yes indeed. drooool

10:48 pm

I've lost touch with Dr Who

10:48 pm

tyger, these earrings are from India

10:49 pm

I hadn't seen it since the one with a scarf when i was, like, in diapers... then my boyfriend convinced me (with much difficulty, because I had ZERO interest) to start with the new ones....

jilli, sad to hear 8-(

10:49 pm

and now I'm going through the grieving process because Rose just left....

i hear ya, blue

10:50 pm

I'm happy to report that Netflix has the new Dr. Who series available online...

10:50 pm

sad to hear what, Gwen? Losing touch with Dr Who?

10:50 pm

(denial..... "She'll be back!"...... anger .... "I don't CARE if you were a major contributing writer of Queer as Fold I HATE you RTD!" ...... etc....)

10:50 pm

Jell that's how I watch it hahaha

10:51 pm

I must look into Netfix. You guys keep me au courant

yes, of course, jill -- that would be sad for to happen to anyone. but then i'm a litle biased LOL

10:51 pm

whoops QA FolK obviously

blue, if you are going to hate one of the producers, don't hate Davies, take it all out onn Nathan Turner!!

10:52 pm

The last Dr Who I saw is the guy who was Herriot's young assistant

10:52 pm

was it HIS idea??? BASTARD.

jilli, that was 5 doctors ago 8-)

10:52 pm

My use of netflix fell off in recent months, but I've just started to take advantage of it again...after all, I pay for it each month...

10:53 pm

I'm gonna hafta go. I've already been out of bed for too many hours :( nytol

10:53 pm

Bye bye Tyger!!! :-)

10:53 pm

G'night, tyger...take care!

sorry, but i can't sit by while you insult the genius to saved doctor who from obvlivion!

10:53 pm

We found Ballykissangel on Netflix... there are a lot of hidden gems

10:54 pm

I'm watching a CBC show called "The Week the Women Went", when all the women in a small New Brunswick town were given a holiday at a resort and all the men had to cope with the kids and everything.

10:54 pm

HAHAHahaha Jilli i bet it's AWESOME

10:54 pm

night tyger!

sounds extremely canadian, jilli. no offense intended!

10:55 pm

Oh Gwen, RTD is a genius in my book, I don't want to hate him... i just need someone to blame for Rose.... :-D

10:56 pm

Years ago I read a book by Philip Wylie called "The Disappearance" when all the women vanished in the men's world, and vice versa. Interesting results.

10:56 pm

RTD? Forgive my ignorance..

10:56 pm

Gwen, isn't it universal?

10:57 pm

Oh, jilli, I wish I had your memory for book titles and authors!

10:57 pm

Russell T Davies... writes for Doctor Who, wrote for most of the episodes for Queer as Folk, he's like ancient and ahead of his time and everything in between Jellen :-)

mutters something about how it sucks that Dr Who David Tennet has left

10:58 pm

Must get the next icon -- Favourite food that reminds you of home -- and Meliae's birthday

10:58 pm

HI herin... I'm still catching up with his episodes, but i saw a picture of the new guy... I don't think he'll ever compare!

blue, the reason DW is the greatest TV show ever made is that the formula allows for easy adding and subtracting of primary actors. You have to expect it. And yes, I know it's hard, but it's also part of the fun, getting a new companion and stuff

10:58 pm

before i give up how about help with the v's

jill, isn't what universal?

10:58 pm

Jellen -- I kept that old paperback, lol!

10:58 pm

Thanks, Blue...oh, didn't know about the cast change...

10:59 pm

i knoooooooow i know i know i know... i'm just sulking... and i actually saw some of the martha jones episodes already and i love her.... i'm just being a whine-ass :-D

My b.f has a Dr Who scarf all 3 feet of it. And im just watching Dr Who season 2 start of David Tennet its good

10:59 pm

ve4/4 = ve** cava

10:59 pm

Jilli, my memories of books are vague, unless I have it in my hands...

10:59 pm

that was ve4/7, sorry

the cast of doctor who changes all the time. it's one of the best aspects of the series -- it can never become stale (the nathan turner era excepting)

10:59 pm

ve4/7 = Ve** Wang

10:59 pm

ve + hammer and **il

10:59 pm

Gwen, you said that show about When the Women Went sounded Canadian. I think it's universal, not just Canadian.

10:59 pm

ve7/44 (9/84) = southern porch

11:00 pm

the 9 is the same but pt)

11:00 pm

aww herin you're going to LOVE it....

11:00 pm

ve4/7 = abbreviation for not horizontal (then pl)

Blessed to have ABC2

11:00 pm

ty thats the one I was looking for

Jill can you explain something for me please

11:01 pm

Hmmmm Gwen - what are your thoughts on torchwood (the series)?

11:01 pm

ve 4/7, the first, was my grandmother's name...

11:01 pm

Maybe, herin -- what?

11:01 pm

(I mean, I already know that I'm in love with captain Jack, but OTHER than that.... hahaha...)

This Tiny url is about the book you mentioned

http://tinyurl.com/bsq4kb is it part ofa series ?

jill, oh, THAT. hey, i was kidding. the stereotypical canadian being rational and friendly, so all the women leave and the men take care of the kids. imagine all the women leaving a village where the men have testosterone poisoning . . .

11:03 pm

WOW i have 58 minutes left and I am pleased to announce I have NBT... haha... late bloomer i am....

Blue if Ata was here she called rattle on about Torchwood. I liked it but never had a chance to see it

torchwood is not my kind of show, sorry. i much like sarah jane adventures, though. yes, i know it's aimed at kids. big deal. 8-)

11:03 pm

gwen, they did -- a bunch of firefighters, strictly guy guys

11:04 pm

Go, Blue!

11:04 pm

bbs

11:04 pm

thanks Jell :-D

I found my answer Jill there is going to be a poop load of reading. They all sound so interesting

I am going to be reading for a very long time with that series

11:07 pm

Herin, I just saw that link to Amazon, and yes, that's the book I was talking about -- didn't know it had been resurrected!

11:07 pm

The Disappearance was not one of a series.

It has and Nabraska Press has reissued it

http://tinyurl.com/dg2qml this is the press

11:11 pm

brb...

All you book fans: http://www.forgottenbooks.org/

Jill it says in this link : http://tinyurl.com/b3tcxd that it was part of the series

11:13 pm

I see what you mean, herin -- several books by Philip Wylie. I remember hearing about A Generation of Vipers but didn't read it. Must investigate but I seem to remember it was bitter and unpleasant.

11:14 pm

well, that site gives a long list of speculative fiction books by various authors

11:17 pm

thanks for your help all good night

11:17 pm

Anyway, it doesn't matter -- I read The Disappearance and have kept it and remember what it was about, but haven't reread it.

11:17 pm

Bison Frontiers of Imagination Series is a series created by the publisher, not the author, herin...

OH. there is a lot of books that look good to read

11:17 pm

G'night, wrath

Night Wrath

11:17 pm

Jellen is right

THank you for clearing up my confusion Jellen

11:17 pm

night wrath

Jill thank you for showing me those books

11:18 pm

No problem, herin...I'm just familiar with that press... :-)

11:18 pm

now to look for that next icon...

11:19 pm

I've found mine, I think...

I love discovering new books

11:20 pm

That's so cool, herin...I need to kick-start my reading habit again...I spend too much time online...

I have to read a huge text for tafe

11:21 pm

tafe? Is that a course?

Tafe is like Uni

11:22 pm

Ahh...what course are you taking?

I am studying a dual course of Advance Diploma of Business Legal practices and Business admin

11:23 pm

Heavy stuff!

11:25 pm

I'm going to get an icon now. brb

Yes. I have already labelled the Law of Torts the Law of Tortises so i don't lose my mind.

okay, back, i gave a thorough looksee to that website, forgotten books

I have another one about scared texts

want points for snod, waaaaa

i am in shock at our news

11:31 pm

Good morning all - whats up herin?

11:31 pm

What about it, herin?

11:32 pm

Hello, ursh

I hope not to upset everyone at this

11:32 pm

hi i'm back (-ish)... herin what's wrong?

11:32 pm

hi ursh :-)

A man stopped his car on the West Gate Bridge and in front of his other two children through his little 4 year old of the bridge. She died.

It was a custody battle. I just don't understand people

11:33 pm

omg

11:33 pm

Threw her off the bridge???

ai-ai-ai!

yes

testosterone poisoning . . . ? or generally insanity

11:35 pm

a custody battle??? was it, like, the "if I can't have my child no one can" mentality?

the mentality of a 6-y-o in the brain of a grown man

sorry my bad spelling. 58 metres just threw her off like garbage. There has been many pleas for the bridge to have cages on it as its a known bridge for suicide jumpers. I am just stunned

bet he doesn't win the custody of the other kids . . . sick, sick, sick

11:37 pm

how old were the other children?

11:37 pm

that's just horrible

6 and 8 i think

the other day in california a man shot his 5 children, wife, and self. this stuff is nearly too depressing for me to want to even know about

11:39 pm

because he had lost his job and felt he couldn't support them -- different from the bridge sicko

11:39 pm

Gwen that article was in our newspapers - just too awful

different, yes, but both deadly and exhibiting serious bad judgment (to put it nicely)

11:41 pm

To change the subject, at the library today I found a delightful book called "Dancing with Cats" -- amazing photos!

I think we need to think about what we have and stop over spending on stuff we don't need

11:41 pm

Ooh...I've seen excerpts of that book...

jill, are the pix of people dancing with cats, or what?

(and thank you for changing the subject!!!!)

11:42 pm

yes, gwen -- quite astonishing!

11:43 pm

have you seen the vidoes of "freestyle" with dogs? Same idea, but cats!

11:44 pm

I wonder if there are any on youtube....

i shall have to use my imagination -- not seen the vids

OH and also its so hot here that they have cancelled symphony under the stars as its so hot they are worried that the cello's will warp.

11:47 pm

Dancing with Cats: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnOCbQG eUFM

11:47 pm

I haven't seen it all but the pix at the beginning give the idea

11:48 pm

try this: http://tinyurl.com/c7aftr

11:49 pm

Can anyone explain why my YouTube is jerky?

Tiny url it jill

11:51 pm

herin -- that's the opposite of Obama's inauguration when it was so cold they thought the cellos would be affected and played a tape

11:51 pm

I did tinyurl it, herin

wow

11:51 pm
