2:02 am

fun , the exhibition was lovely, had dinner fri night at the helenic club, the had beautiful french underwear and pj's ffor sale at the exhibition, suppose because degas was french, though it was strange, but dis not stop me buying divine stuff to put away for my girls

good going josh :)

2am hiccup :)

2:02 am

yeah, you don't need the flu -- hope Maddie is better soon

she is now babrab... antibiotics were useful for her

Luke says hi babrab.

the helenic club!! nice!

oh good on you andree!! that sounds so nice!!

2:03 am

I had afternoon tea at the greek embassy, that was a buzz

how cool andree! how did you get an invite to the embassy?

2:05 am

trip home was a nightmare, pouring, could hardly see, i was tempted to pull over

2:05 am

hello, Luke. how are you doing, big guy?

2:05 am

the friend i went with is greek[ i am 1/2 greek] and she is friends with the ambassadors wife

2:06 am

it was a big marble palace, how the other 1/2 live!!!

I thought you might be greek! you are very pretty too

2:08 am

maybe 30 years ago, lol

oh rubbish! you are very pretty! ask my daughter next time... she commented on that the moment she met you

2:09 am

so sweet of maddie, she probably meant for my age!!!

and I think my daughter is a good judge of very pretty and very nice! of which you are both!

2:09 am

morning all

2:09 am

hi sprite, how are you

morning sprite :))

2:10 am

hello, sprite

2:10 am

had a bad evening, feeling so awful and in so much pain. Then found out this morning I had forgotten my meds. How stupid can one get!

2:10 am

ouch BabbleRabble... bad hair day today?

2:10 am

sprite no wonder you felt bad

2:11 am

what hair. sprite

2:11 am

no indeed Andree, I feel so stupid, lol. But much better!

2:11 am

the hair in your icon?

oh sprite! you don't want to be forgetting those meds - makes you feel worse! Poor sweetie!! ***hugs sprite***

2:11 am

lol babble

2:12 am

thanks mrP :) How is maddie doing today?

she is doing much better! The antibiotics are working for her. She still has a temperature, but she feels much much better pain wise

Andree, what did you have for dinner at the Helenic Club??

2:13 am

I am so glad, was feeling bad for her being in such pain.

little ones in pain is not good hey sprite? can only hold them and be there for them

2:15 am

I wonder every time why 'to tea' is not a verb in the english language. I tead with my friends... sounds so normal to me.

indeed sprite!

2:15 am

too true, mrP, and even though that does make a difference, you feel so powerless because you cannot take the pain away!

2:15 am

we were very late and the italian wad coffe shop were all that was still serving and all we could get was pizza, which amused me

2:15 am

one expects greek food

you can tee... I teed off at the 1st hole... so you should have tead too

oh really andree! LOL that is too funny!!

2:16 am

back from www.zooborns.com -- nice!

2:16 am

i would still be in canberra if it was't for the gps, got totally lost

2:17 am

hi sprite and andree and re-hi mrp :)

2:17 am

hi jilli

oh no!! the streets of Canberra are too funny

hi again jilli :)

2:17 am

and you yourself, mrP? Feeling any better already?

2:17 am

i don't think canberra unlike a trip to melbourne is renowned for its cuisine

i have a good friend who lives in canberra - i partook of the canberra nightlife and had pizza downtown

2:18 am

sprite -- your zoo looks lovely!

up and down sprite... slept most of the day again.

canberra is a funny 'town'

2:18 am

hi jilli! Love your icon and writeup. Looks like a good zoo!

2:18 am

ah josh, maybe thats all you can get there,lol

2:19 am

I think they try hard, sprite

2:19 am

mrP, I wish I could send you a bottle of high resistance against all baddies!

Andree, have you watched any of 'the biggest loser' ??

2:19 am

as my ex husband used to say, its a very well laid out city but then most dead bodies are

2:19 am

I seriously hate most zoos. Can't bear to see those animals suffer. But Emmen rocks.

2:19 am

lol Andree

LOL andree!

2:20 am

no mrp is it on now

2:20 am

can I postulate that a seahorse has a seahoof?

yes it is andree it is a bloody cry-fest! never seen such whinging.

2:21 am

I remember as a child hearing about the Whipsnade Zoo in London where the animals were not enclosed they way they were in old zoos. I wonder what happened to it.

2:21 am

moving to living room now to watch

2:22 am

that is mostly how Emmen is build too, jilli. Where necessary, the visitors are enclosed!

2:22 am

Well, time for bed here so goodnight all -- have fun babbling or whatever :D

2:22 am

sounds like a no-way-I-wanna-watch-that program, mrP, lol!

2:22 am

that makes a lot of sense, sprite!

you would like Dubbo Zoo sprite, it is all open with big roaming areas... but the heat in summer is not right. Luckily they have a lot of African animals

sprite, it is a competition of weight loss... the people are obese. But this season, they are all crying, constantly

2:23 am

There's a lot of shade at the Bronx zoo

2:23 am

sleep well, jilli! I hope your day was fun, the boatride was smooth and the play was amusing! And... the food great of course.

nite jilli :))

2:24 am

bye jilli

I want to visit the Bronx Zoo...

2:24 am

oh! Ok, now I get it, lol. Losers in that respect... in both now, apparently.

2:24 am

all of that, sprite -- and the company was delightful too

oh man... I put a word in chog back there... **lucky no one saw it**

2:24 am

sounds good to me, mrP, it is so good to watch animals who are having good lives.

ah, I didn't! was the wrong tense!

2:25 am

yay jilli! Just what the doctor ordered! Glad you had a good time. Dream of your day then :)

2:25 am

*everybody is scrolling back to find mrPs word...*

2:25 am

will do, sprite -- and now *poof*

This season, they are doing 'biggest loser' couples... it isn't so good

2:26 am

before I go -- did you see the link I posted a little while ago -- une's icon came from there:

2:26 am

ah mrP, you shouldn't chase our Andree away from Babble! Now I miss her!

does bob harper do the aussie version of that mrp?

she is still here sprite!! just drawn into the program for 5 minutes

2:27 am

www.zooborns.com -- baby animal born at various zoos

2:27 am

i am still here sprite, just moved rooms

2:27 am

aw cute jilli! You unpoofer!

2:27 am

ah, ok, am glad Andree!

2:27 am

now final *poof*

2:28 am

*giggle* Sure, so you tell us...

I don't think so franny

2:28 am

is this a couples one mrp

yes andree... it is a strange way of running the program.

2:30 am

i guess they have run out of ideas

here come the tears again... even maddison thinks it is soap opera

2:33 am

so today the theme should be spelled ZUES

that is olympian gods then?

2:38 am

lol close. Animal displays... Zoos.

sprite, is Caya a fan of Rhianna? Cause maddie and her friends are quite shocked...

2:39 am

hmmm no don't think so... name doesn't sound familiar to me.

2:42 am

so why are you shocked?

Maddie is shocked... I guess she hasn't had much to say on domestic violence as she hasn't been a witness to any... and it is now a big thing to talk about. I have had to have lots of chats about how and why.

2:45 am

sorry to be such a news dumbo. Do I understand correctly Rhianna is the victim of domestic violence and it has come out now?

oh yes, sorry... I should have explained better. She got beaten up by her boyfriend (Chris Brown, 19, R&B singer)... he hurt her (Rhianna, 20) quite badly. The children are unbelieving as he is such a 'nice guy' and has spoken out against domestic violence in the media in the past

2:49 am

suprising how much domestic violence comes from those you would least expect

2:49 am

wow, that IS shocking. And very necessary to discuss. One thing I have told my kids: it can happen to you once, but NEVER for a 2nd time!

indeed sprite! but it wasn't the first time... this has been an escalating problem between them. Maddie is shocked at that. Asking questions like... why didn't she leave him then?

2:50 am

what people say and do are often very different things, I can't say that surprises me.

Andree, surprising indeed! I watched a friend of mine almost die from it... and I would never have suspected for a second!

2:51 am

Maddie, girl, you rock. Exactly. Leave him. Right away and permanently. But it is awful for people with low self-esteem. They have a terrible battle to fight before they realise they deserve better.

6 left

what does surprise me is the people that think she 'deserved' it. Far out! That is an issue now...

2:53 am

deserved it??? NObody deserves a violent treatment. Ever.

2:54 am

why do they say that, do you know, mrP/

2:55 am

this is the line the abuser uses, you deserved it and its amazing how many wemen feel its true and therefore guilty

Young people are not necessarily told what a healthy relationship looks like, so they're not sure if someone could or could not be abusive ... what is the line? Domestic violence has been going on for so long, and it's such a part of our culture, on TV and in movies, that it's easy to say, 'She must have done something to deserve it.'

2:57 am

True, Andree. And it is such a load of bull. So... she does things you cannot live with? Move your ass over to another place and don't live with her anymore.

reader, "Zjera_Boo," wrote, "If what I hear is correct and Rihanna gave chris an STD, then she needed it, but they are right he is only human." Also alluding to the Internet rumors, "Boogababe" added, "You guys seem to be forgetting the real reason why he did it in the first place ... He did that coz he was mad * a girl he trusted and which he was with ... which turned around to put his life in jeopardy by infecting him with an STD???!!!?? Comm'on guys Rihanna had what was coming to her...Brusies can heal ova some time but putting your health on the line like that is hectic!"

2:58 am

indeed mrP. Lots of people grow up as people with low self esteem and continue to repeat an abusive pattern. It is a sad thing.

you see the problem here

2:59 am

STD = ? Sexual disease?

yes sprite

3:00 am

i do sprite, if that is true, i would want to lash out too

3:00 am

well, I can see the big flaw in that reasoning from afar. So he was mad. Sure, he may have a perfect right to be very mad. But since when is being very mad with a good reason a permit to hit?

sometimes in cases of domestic abuse, even women will fall into the victim-blaming pattern, saying, "These men aren't really responsible, they must have been provoked ... a man wouldn't 'just beat her like that for no reason."

3:02 am

yup, same faulty reasoning. Equalling one's right to be mad as hell with the right to use violence.

3:02 am

of course I am preaching to the whatsitcalled now, lol... just makes me so mad when people blame the victim.

it is unreal...

fireworks

3:05 am

gratz josh

yay josh :)

this grid wasn't so bad once i got NBT, though there are a couple of thorny ones

3:08 am

**waves back**

some of these words have me stuck

3:17 am

yay! Glad you are still here, mrP! Yes, same here, it was smooth as a baby's tush until near the end, and then BAFFFF brick wall.

3:19 am

3:44 am

good

3:47 am

and fireworks. Off to domestic things, alas. Have a good day and/or night all!

night there sprite

off too

fireworks !

4:49 am

hello and good-bye sprite, mrp and herin

hi west :)

4:49 am

hi mrp

just reading about all these darling cats that got sick and died from a catfood imported from Canada

4:50 am

oh dear I didn't hear about that

Today the cats' owners are going public to warn others about the dangers of irradiation, which is a quarantine process all imported pet food must undergo before it is able to be sold in Australia. They believe the chemicals used in the treatment broke down ingredients in the Orijen food, causing it to become rancid, and poisoned the animals.

4:51 am

what a shame

we have such strick quarantine procedures with all our foods, but this is ridiculous! Those poor animals

how are you west?? sorry to throw that at you btw

4:52 am

I'm okay mrp how are you all things considered?

well, I have time to talk... kids have finally gone to bed (it is nearly 10pm)!!

4:53 am

I'm happy you're here it's lonely playing alone

4:54 am

I'm usually here a lot earlier but my sleep schedule is all messed up again

4:55 am

morning all

Am doing ok hun... thanks for asking! Maddison is doing better with her flu/throat infection, now she is on antibiotics. Luke is happy that I allowed him to play Halo 3 with his dad, but they are only allowed to run around an empty base. I am having issues sleeping, so I just don't!

are you on different schedules for work??

4:56 am

no I just flopped down on the couch around 5 pm and woke up at 1 am

4:56 am

good evening all

4:56 am

hi rlee

Mind you... Luke admitted that playing Halo 3 was scary... and yet people let their kids play the violent game!!

oh west!! that nana nap gone wrong!

4:56 am

I guess you could say that lol

I won't let him play where he is a potential target or he has to shoot at anyone

4:57 am

I'm glad to hear both your children are doing better

4:57 am

I wish they just wouldn't make those games

I have a funny one for you west! I went to sleep at 4pm, woke up at 7.15.... climbed out of bed and walked to the family room... cause I couldn't work out why it was so quiet for 7.15am !! I see the kids watching TV and Mark with a glass of wine.... it then started to dawn on me it was only 7.15PM!

4:59 am

that turned out better for you then

4:59 am

here it's still dark by 5 p.m.

indeed west! I am mean as a snake when it comes to what my kids can play on computer games. Luke knows all about the violent games from his friends, but he isn't allowed near them. I caught Lickety playing Halo with Luke when he was 7... I prompty took the xbox disc and smashed it, then threw it over the balcony

we have daylight saving! it seemed like it might be the morning with the light!!

5:00 am

made your point !!!

Did indeed! He started storing all his M rated games with his porn!! LOL

5:01 am

LOL

5:02 am

how is your weather now? have things cooled down finally?

this grid is nice and sweet, until the last 15.

5:02 am

the grids have been pretty frustrating lately

west, that is why we are all sick!! it went from 45C.... hot and disgusting with bad thunderstorms, to 17C... raining constantly and cold as heck!

5:03 am

Fireworks for me so i am off again. Have a nice day everyone

5:03 am

ugh

bye kazzer! wtg too!

5:03 am

Yay kazz and you have a nice day too

am watching a self-confessed reality show on vanity... very very strange concept!

5:05 am

those reality shows kill me I have enough reality in my own life

LOL west!! too true!

5:06 am

we have a whole slew of them now maybe writers are in short supply

what amazes me, is that we only see 2% of the shows that are actually 'out' there!! every country has scores of them!

the word has become a voyeur

5:07 am

I was just thinking that

5:08 am

is the show on vanity informative or just someone blowing their own horn

it is a show about 10 'beautiful' people, over 10 weeks... they put them into the 'house', then introduce 3 people a week (new residents). They have to become accepted, or face elimination.... so they strut around like peacocks and try and get everyone on side!

the vanity is incredible!! they totally love themselves!! survival of the bitchiest it seems

5:11 am

the only thing a show like that has to offer is to make people like us feel better about ourselves

5:11 am

that we're not as shallow

I like shows like 'wifeswap'... shows that I am normal!

I just said that too! LOL... same wavelength tonight

5:11 am

that show is pretty funny

I really like the british version

We see alot of american tv, so watching british people is 'refreshing'

5:12 am

we only get the US version is there an Aussie version too?

not yet west... but I dont count it out. You haven't seen the british version??

5:13 am

have you made any decisions about the soccer committee meeting?

their lifestyle is completely different to anything I have seen!

5:13 am

no haven't seen the brit version

west, I had to do lots of soccer work today, and I didn't have a chance to ask them what they wanted to do. I haven't decided yet.... but think it will just be fingerfood and drinks!

5:14 am

and partners invited?

the 'class' distinction in Britian comes through with wifeswap... they like to put low-income families with well-to-do, and watch the fireworks!

yes west, I put out an invite for partners, but don't know what will come of that. I think the committee will just come on their own as their partners are not 'soccer' inclined

5:16 am

that's what those shows are mostly about reminds me of Hyacinth Bucket

oh I love 'keeping up appearances'!

5:16 am

lol couldn't think of the name

"it is pronounced 'bouquet'!!" LOL

5:17 am

she's such a character

5:17 am

and her poor husband lol

bloody brilliant!! I also love Ab Fab! Eddie and Patsy!

5:18 am

can't get that one any more

My favourite character in that show is her mother! 'Gran'... she is a total cack!

oh no! we have the series on DVD

5:18 am

I'd watch all Brit TV if I could

do you have cable tv west?

5:19 am

we have satellite TV about the same

5:19 am

just not that much worth watching anymore

We get the UKTV chanel... it is very very good! but we have to pay for it. However, we have ABC here, which is BBC on free to air. So we get to see terrific shows from Britian... we are part of the Commonwealth!!

5:20 am

yeah we blew it in 1776 lol

LOL!! we just do research on that here!! When your new president won

5:21 am

he's going to have a hard row to hoe but he's such a nice change from the idiot

indeed west! your nation is lucky to have it's people... so many diverse ideas... it made it easy to like the US people with all that diversity.... even though we knew the president was an idiot

5:22 am

good morning

5:23 am

hello eva

hi eva :)

5:24 am

thanks mrp people liking people in spite of the politicians is what it's all about

well, we can see a million miles away that you don't all agree with political stuff you are dealing with

5:25 am

that's a relief mrp

5:26 am

you can say that again!

5:27 am

I'm just concerned about the number of very conservative old guard people obama is surrounding himself with. I understand his desire to be less partisan, but that kind of conservative thinking is not what most of us voted for, and his reaching across the aisle is not being reciprocated

5:28 am

he's reaching but they're not reaching back for the most part

5:28 am

Just waiting and letting them get settled, which is hard given what they have inherited.

5:29 am

here's a mess, now clean it up

eva, he will learn... he is very young and has much ahead of him.

5:29 am

let's hope mrp!

indeed west... that is what our prime minister was given too

5:30 am

There also are things he can do very little about....like the financial mess, and I hope that people will understand that a year or two from now when things are, perhaps, even harder than they are now.

we have a heap of sh** to go through still... these wars are costing the US too much, and there is little hope of the US staying on top.

I just pray for your president... he is a huge political target. Best wishes to him and his family.

5:34 am

it's been a long time since anyone was praying for our president(-:

5:35 am

although I think many prayed for the last one to be elsewhere

well, the stimulus package is all well and what-not, but here is an idea.... create jobs! I can't believe how many people are unemployed!!

5:38 am

just sneaked away to make toast missed dinner and breakfast won't be for awhile

5:39 am

I know. And I think they are trying. There are so many theories about what is needed, anywhere from much, much larger infusions of capital to letting things just die off. We, and much of the rest of the world, spent a long time working ourselves into this utterly unrealistic web of greed and dreamlike asset prices.....there's a long way to fall before we have our feet on the ground again, and many people, especially those with the least, are going to be terribly hurt.

5:40 am

G'd morning Babblers!

5:40 am

moring lori

5:40 am

gm lori

5:40 am

Hey, my avatar is timely given EHva;s previous statement....

hi lori :)

5:41 am

too much of 'I have mine and too bad if you don't'

5:41 am

sure is Lori! You guys seem to be on much more level ground up there

Lori, love your profile! is very nice and kind of Haz! I miss her heaps

5:43 am

hi lorikins! hi all!

5:43 am

We avoided the sub prime mortgage mistakes, but the US collapse is like bamboo under the fingernails, world wide.

5:43 am

hi ata

I would love to buy this house we are in, but they can't afford us!!

5:43 am

I'm watching a programme about poo

5:43 am

G'd morning Ata Hari. Hobbit walked you already?

5:44 am

she's walking husband at the moment

5:44 am

nice ata another reality show?

5:44 am

***ponders whether I should inquire any further in to poo related program***

5:44 am

is called "A Short History of Crap" !!

5:45 am

heh heh heh hubyy got suckered this morn. Nicely done!

5:45 am

how funny

5:46 am

offically she walks him at weekends

5:46 am

Eva, of course that came out poorly, as I look back. It goes without saying (in my mind) that the politicians don't ever see what the people see when an economic collapse like this appears.

5:46 am

good morning all :o)...tackle hug **loriP**

5:47 am

***good thing I was wearing my sponge padded jammies*** Mornin' carlee

5:47 am

hi carlee

5:48 am

hi carlee

5:48 am

how we all doing today?...did we survive the chocolate and flower day unscathed?

hi everyone! is Judi here?

5:48 am

I thought that you said was very sensible Lori. Of course we have enough insanity world round to keep us company. Just read very depressing report re global warming this morning and the US has now been outpaced by China and India as the no 1 contributors

5:48 am

moring calree and to

5:49 am

every day is Valentine's day here carlee lol

5:49 am

hi TO

5:49 am

G'd morning TO! Haven't seen her yet, but she may be lurking.

5:49 am

one of those (many) times when I wonder whether human beings are such a good idea

5:51 am

well...Eva... all any of us can do the best we can... making as little impact as possible on those things that are delcate...and get involved as much as u feel you can to make our communities a bit better...

5:51 am

cow dung can power batteries for electricity in poorer areas of India. there, that's a good thing

5:51 am

switching gears here from gloom and doom....yesterday while I was washing dishes I looked out at the bird feeder and there were two does, each with a fawn, sitcking their tongues into the bird feeder holes and gobbling away at the sunflower seeds.

5:51 am

think how great all our communities would be if EVERYONE volunteered just 2 or 3 hours a week

5:52 am

lol Eva, deer are just large rats (IMO) but how cute is that?

5:52 am

the small community we live in here in Vermont is wonderful that way....trying to keep things local, taking care of each other as well as we can

5:52 am

Snippit from the History of crap Ata Hari?

5:53 am

Lori-I'm schizo about deer. During the summer I curse them for eating my garden, but in the winter I love them.

5:53 am

yep!

5:53 am

so...another little grid..r we liking it....?

5:53 am

If you don't take care of each other, I guarantee Government won't do it for ya'.

*makes sign of cross and hold up crossed fingers* dear god, it will b e a long drive today, pls protect all of those deer from our cars. amesn>

5:53 am

I liked it for the first 66 words. Now not so much

5:53 am

I wanna moose

5:53 am

Eva, it is a paradox, isn't it....

5:54 am

i love moose meat

5:54 am

I have 53 left, but I'm going from top to bottom for the first sweep

5:54 am

I wanna see one

5:54 am

mine have taken to leaping across the driveway as I come up it....several near misses.

5:54 am

TO, it's the same here. So many deer strikes it's unbelievable.

i am SERIOUSLY in terror of them

5:55 am

not so much around here....

5:56 am

Between my Sis, her hub and their son, 5 vehicle/deer collisions.....

5:56 am

we just get suicide bunnies here, though we do have deer

5:56 am

We don't have that many deer accidents though. Might be because it is so sparsely populated with plenty of forest for the deer, so they don't have to cross roads that often.

5:56 am

lots of suicide raccoons here

ata: hitting a bunny is sad but notfatal

5:57 am

We need a deer cull, but that's very not politically correct now.

5:57 am

Frogs in the spring. Hate squishing them in the midst of their mating frnezy. Seems very unfair.

5:57 am

I always wondered what I would do if I killed a deer...would Itake the thing home and get butchered for venison?

5:57 am

can be! I know someone who hit a bunny, swerved, rolled his car three times and ended up nearly dead

i stand corrected

5:58 am

:P LOL, but yes, bunnies aren't usually lethal

i mean i didn't evenknow what hit me

6:03 am

well..what a cheerful topic of conversation this am...from global economic melt down...to road kill....

6:03 am

***lobbing spit balls at LORIP***

6:03 am

and poo

6:03 am

never forget the poo

oh, that's more like it!;D

6:03 am

morning everyone

6:03 am

i missed the poo..poo way mor cheerful (potentially) them road kill

6:04 am

morning katie

6:04 am

***cue dramatic music for launch of shaving cream filled balloons*** Fire!

6:04 am

morning Katie...

6:04 am

hi kitt!

6:04 am

G'd morning Katie

6:04 am

so...I wonder if george has been lurking waiting for haz to appear????

6:04 am

Eva, I LOVE the scen you described with the deer at the bird feeder!

6:05 am

*scene

morning katie morning une. time to go, happy babbling.

6:05 am

byebye TO

6:05 am

hey, TO!

6:05 am

they come every dat unea, but usually it has been just one doe with her family-this year's fawn and last year's who is a prong horn withonly one eye. This was the first time I saw two families meet up, They seemed a bit wary of each other, but took turns.

6:06 am

Bye TO, good seeing ya'!

6:06 am

just amazing!

bye, Lori! *poof*

6:07 am

but of course it means going through huge amounts of seed, and having them associate me with food, which will come back to haunt me in the spring and summer, but there seems to be a sign out front saying "Eat at Eva's" anyway, so I might as well enjoy it.

ooooh the blob is on!!

OK for Canadians and Americans, its the GREAT BACKYARD BIRDWATCH week. It only takes 15 mins and its waaaay fun.

You're welcome, MM. What do you think of your latest manager for Chelsea?

9:52 am

I'd like to be a fly on the wall of the gathering!

9:52 am

Haz, Thanks for enquiring. The back is not good, but I try to keep up with work but still cannot drive, walk far. But I can't sit at home all day doing nothing I would go slowly mad.

9:52 am

Hope yo uare well Scrabs and the bunnies?

9:52 am

He's pretty good haz, judging from his past successes

9:52 am

The bunnies are sweet and adorable.

9:52 am

That's not so good, elder, but you're probably right to keep going as best you can.

9:52 am

And Chelsea did pretty well in the cup yesterday against Watford

9:53 am

LOL Scrabs, of course!

9:53 am

He'd better keep on the right side of the owner. He doesn't seem to have much patience, does he?

9:53 am

Hopefully he'll stay for longer than the end of the season

9:53 am

*loves having fm back* *clings to her just on principle*

9:53 am

Haz. one has to keep going.

9:54 am

Elder, sorry to hear the back is still giving you gip.

9:54 am

I agree, I mean you look at how many managers Chelsea have had since Sir Alex took over ay United

9:54 am

missing 2 s's from top left -- have st x3 and a visual se -- missing?

9:54 am

Well, we're glad to see you here, elder. We miss our morning chats with you.

9:54 am

9:54 am

MM, there was a statistic that since AF was appointed, well over 900 Premiership managers have been sacked or moved on.

9:55 am

Goodness Haz, I didn't realise you were such a football aficionado!

9:55 am

I'm just thrilled that Martin O'Neill is doing so well at Aston Villa. Hopefully nobody will want to get rid of him any time soon.

9:56 am

I know all sorts of rubbish, FM, surely you know that?!

9:56 am

9:57 am

LOL yes but I didn't realise it extended to footie

9:57 am

I'm listening to Villa on the radio (through the tv) at the mo as refuse to pay for Setanta

9:57 am

Who knows? Maybe if Roman takes a shine to him and if Hiddink doesn't do the business?

9:57 am

I'm watching ireland v italy

9:57 am

I cannot believe that it is 25years since Torvill and Dean won the Gold and there score has yet to be beaten.

9:57 am

Hi Mary Not sure what you meant in yr post, log looks fine here.

9:58 am

I remember watching Torvill and Dean,that day elder. They're still magic.

9:58 am

I'm listening to the radio and having a quick babble chat as there is nothing BUT sport on the TV this afternoon.

9:58 am

I can't believe it's been 12 years since Di Matteo scored that record breaking goal in the cup final

9:58 am

9:58 am

Husband is engrossed in the rugby as well.

10:00 am

ruru said he was going to be away from babble for ages and lasted 2 days

10:00 am

Isn't it a good thing we didn't collect for a leaving present?

10:01 am

10:09 am

Well done! Cyber and bye .

10:10 am

Thanks, hubby took the photo on his phone! (muttering about having a SLR camera and leaving it in the hotel room)

10:10 am

Al Pacino as forensic psychiatrist, stalked by someone he helped put away.

10:10 am

Bye cyber.

10:10 am

Not my kind of movie, Scrabs

10:11 am

But 'Watchmen' is out in 3 weeks......can't wait!!!!

10:11 am

seriously I thought you watched all types of movies mm

10:11 am

What is that about, MM?

10:11 am

i want to see the movie "taken"

10:11 am

Watchmen had better not be about those Security Guards who have to sit about in buildings at night.

10:11 am

I am going to watch "Rendition" later today.

10:12 am

hubby saw taken and loved it

10:12 am

I suppose Watchmen could be about Swiss Jewellers as well.

10:12 am

Watchmen: When an ex-superhero is murdered, a vigilante named Rorschach begins an investigation into the murder, which begins to lead to a much more terrifying conclusion

10:12 am

oops..crossy keeps quiet and goes back to the grid

10:12 am

Awe - c'mon back crossy

10:12 am

Hello, all. We saw "The International" last night.

10:13 am

Hi judi

10:13 am

how was it, judi?

10:13 am

Hello Judi

10:13 am

Clive Owen was rather yummy. The movie was nyeh,though. I thought. Dumb ending.

10:13 am

Corner O please?

10:14 am

oo4 Scrabs

10:14 am

I agree that Clive is rather yummy, especially when he is unshaven.

10:14 am

oo5 - made a noise of surprise or satisfaction

10:14 am

hey, haz!!

10:14 am

Hello Une!

10:14 am

Aha, TY, Haz.

10:14 am

oop no oo 5/14

10:14 am

And I've to go to the PB for the no5/10 word....

10:14 am

I am a tad out of practice I can see :(

10:15 am

He's unshaven throughout this movie, Scrabbler. He does look best when "gritty".

10:15 am

Toss out something chocolaty please, Haz.

10:15 am

Une - I was telling Haz about your apostrophe icon the other day, it was great!

10:15 am

Haz. thanks for the no/5 it passed me by.

10:15 am

*panting now after Judi's description of Clive*

10:15 am

You've got to be joking, Scrabbler. What's here stays here.

10:16 am

lol Haz

10:16 am

Hello to everyone who just arrived.

10:16 am

No problem, elder.

10:16 am

put the apostrophe's back up!

10:16 am

Ata!!

10:16 am

I was waiting for him to take his shirt off during the movie. Alas, it did not happen. He's annoyingly clothed throughout.

10:16 am

Since when does a plural require an apostrophe?

10:16 am

LOL

10:17 am

I do love your photo Ata

10:17 am

(Shaking head sadly while consuming chocolates with relish)

10:17 am

sister's dogs :)

10:18 am

I can remove Clive's clothes in my head.

10:18 am

I can remove Christina Ricci's clothes in my head......*sigh*

10:19 am

Go for it, MM!

10:19 am

Come on people, we have words to find. <------- eyes left, if you please.

11:02 am

11:02 am

11:02 am

11:03 am

How are you and the brood?

11:03 am

hobbit is beautifully clean. she had a bath after rolling in a mud pit

11:04 am

heh, ren - thanks. I got lucky this time, though

11:04 am

Heya renny

11:05 am

hey ya tom servo!

11:06 am

Oohh, nice. Emma was just shown into the shower before the bf got in, and she was terrified. I saved her, of course.

11:06 am

poor baby! did she get wet?

11:06 am

su

11:07 am

No, but she seems to think so. Thing is, as soon as the tub is drained, she is right in there for a romp!

11:07 am

of course! that's cats for you!

11:07 am

She also drinks out of the toilet and sleeps in the sink. She is a backward sort of girl.

11:08 am

Sily hates the rain, but every time Hobbit goes outside for a wee, Sily throws herself against the door in a fit of angst trying to get out

11:08 am

Heh. Sily sounds like a very good cat of glory. She must survey her entire kingdom.

11:09 am

oh yes. and she likes to get up really high to survey too

11:10 am

I was really hoping for a monster grid today... it is pouringrain here.. hi everyone

11:11 am

Oh dear, Emma was just placed in the water. She is displeased. Hey Ruru!

11:11 am

Em is finally learning to appreciate the windows. Soon she will be up high surveying us. She learns well.

11:11 am

oh dear. poor Emma. much dignity licking will ensue

11:12 am

She is cleaning off the offending water as I type.

hi everyone, can you please help with a clue for the so5/12? It's my last word and I just can't seem to see it at all....

11:13 am

Sily sits on top of the boiler, right by the ceiling. Once, though, when she was a kitten, she managed to get up onto the rafters in my bedroom - these rafters are about 12 foot off the floor (we have a doublle height room). She was very sad and very worried. and she had to fling herself off the beam into my arms (with me standing on a tea chest on the bed)

11:14 am

Oh poor Sily!

11:15 am

Welsh--think weather balloon, sort of.

11:16 am

she was about emma's size!

11:16 am

Time for me to split -- grading calls...

11:16 am

good luck all

thinking parsec.......thanks......

11:16 am

How old was she? Em will be 6 mos soon and is still a big baby.

11:17 am

she must have been about the same. maybe a bit younger

11:17 am

Leap of faith!

11:17 am

Also think silent vowels, heh. =)

11:18 am

oh yes! it was almost in slow motion

it's obviously staring me in the face, but just not getting it....grrrr

11:42 am

goodmorning

11:42 am

hi lynx!

11:43 am

Heya lynxxxxxxxxxxxx

11:44 am

good afternoon!

11:45 am

hello Edith Jones!

11:45 am

hi edith

11:45 am

hi lynx! hi ata!

11:45 am

Heya edith

11:45 am

not a great afternoon - just got back from the doctor's - i have a sinus infection AND pneumonia in the right lung!

11:46 am

hi torgone!

11:46 am

oh no :(

11:46 am

lynx, what flag is that?

11:46 am

! that's sounds grim Edith. Look after yourself. Australian

11:47 am

i'm in bed now, listening to my son kill people on the x-box!

11:48 am

I refuse to go to the list for my last 2 words

11:48 am

I really don't understand those games.. I wish kids weren't allowed to play them..

11:48 am

i'm planning to check out my next 51 words. unprincipled sort i am.

11:48 am

Atta girl!

11:48 am

hi Ruru

11:49 am

there are a couple of weirdies atal

11:49 am

hiya lynxxx

11:49 am

he's the least violent kid i know, also rarely gets angry - i think this is a way to channel his aggression so it doesn't come out in other parts of his life.

11:50 am

teenage boys have a lot of natural aggression - comes with the testosterone and letting it out somewhere safe is a good idea. working out helps as well.

11:50 am

I mean we have guns as little boys.. but a lot of those games are vicious and overly violent.. yuck

11:50 am

I'd rather have ppl play video games than be easily able to get real guns

11:51 am

Tell that to the people at Columbine ata..

11:51 am

i agree ata. and when he's not playing the video games he is kind and gentle and spends a lot of time cooking as he plans to be a chef.

11:52 am

how did they get hold of their guns?

11:52 am

good he can get violent with chicken...

11:52 am

Stupid parents I think Ata..

11:52 am

May I have E clues...any E will do!

11:52 am

exactly ...

11:53 am

et7 is like a spring -well

11:53 am

hi car

11:53 am

ruru, i think there will always be exceptions to every rule, and some of those exceptions will end badly. what i do know is that it works for him, so i allow it in my house. and as i'm only parenting one teenage boy, that's what i need to concern myself with.

11:53 am

en5/6 if you put up with something you en**r* it

11:53 am

i don't get that et clue, ruru - it was given before and i was just as thick about it then!

11:53 am

sure.. that okay edith.. I am just thinking about the general public

11:54 am

Bless you Edith! I didn't get it either!

11:54 am

a well like where spring water comes out of..

11:54 am

the spring well would be spelled art*****

11:54 am

are there any really odd h5?

11:55 am

I of course, tried to spell eternal!

11:55 am

no ata

11:55 am

11:58 am

Literally, I am just staring at these tiles, monkeying words, not getting anywhere1

11:58 am

11:59 am

I just had to look that one up. never heard of it before

12:33 pm

and I have 36 to go

12:33 pm

47 left here

12:33 pm

at least, we're having a spell of relatively small grids. I wouldn't dare try a big one just now - too much time sitting up :(

12:34 pm

back problems?

12:34 pm

a Mediterranean wind, how strange

12:34 pm

no, jes. fluid retention

12:34 pm

evening all..i 6/7 f's.... fe4, fo5, fo4 x 4....what am i missing pls?

12:35 pm

yeah, this grid has a lot of words that begin with the letters they begin with

12:35 pm

they say the veins (not the arteries) in my lower legs aren't very good anymore, and it promotes cellulitis, apparently :sigh:

12:35 pm

sorry, tyger; that sounds unpleasant

12:35 pm

hey, rolin

12:35 pm

ah. not so good.

12:35 pm

in 6 5 6 6

12:36 pm

it is, jes. been unwell since early December, in hosp 3X since beginning of this year

12:36 pm

two fo 5

12:36 pm

ty

12:37 pm

I have visiting nurse 2X week, to do wraps on my legs. not pleasant, but it could be much, much worse. oh, and I am now taking more pills. yuck.

12:37 pm

off to church see you all at the flip

12:38 pm

later, birdee

12:38 pm

be well, Birdee

12:38 pm

12:38 pm

12:38 pm

12:38 pm

take care of yourself, tyger

12:38 pm

bye tyger, hope your day is a pleasant one :)

12:39 pm

hello friends! ((tyger)) bye...

12:39 pm

how' the grid today?

12:39 pm

hey stid

12:39 pm

it's little :)

12:39 pm

another trainer, stid

12:39 pm

i'm half way though quite quickly, and then just deadended

12:40 pm

oh well. little isn't so bad I guess.

12:41 pm

we woke to sunshine and a hard frost, now it's warm and cloudy *sigh* i am dreaming of spring...

12:42 pm

bye tyger, just spilled my tea so missed a bit, bye to everyone else!

12:42 pm

bye birdee! have a lovely day!

12:43 pm

not that long before a white christmas again

12:43 pm

BR, that's what I like about you: your perpetual optimism and bright thoughts! *grin*

12:44 pm

yes. grey Z tile

12:45 pm

it's quite warm here today, stid: 38F :)

12:45 pm

ooh, breakfast. back later

12:45 pm

balmy, jes! LOL *waves adieu*

12:47 pm

have you slew the flu, stid?

12:47 pm

pretty much, BR, just some residual tiredness and headache. The worst was day before yesterday.

12:47 pm

my recommendation: don't catch it. even with the flu shot this year it really took me out.

12:49 pm

halfway... now working on a couple blank tiles

12:49 pm

as slow as I am, for me to catch it, the flu would have to be moving backwards

12:49 pm

Clue for SO5, please?

12:50 pm

rofl

12:50 pm

hello bea! *waits for clue*

12:50 pm

NM

12:50 pm

drat. oh well.... *wanders off to look for other words*

12:50 pm

Hey, stid.

12:51 pm

so 5 -- something that is necessary: *ee**d

12:51 pm

aha! thanks BR!

12:53 pm

are the i words particularly fishy? or particularly hard?

12:53 pm

oh, found one...

12:54 pm

almost no blanks. *squints at grid* will be glad when my eyeballs are back to normal and I can wear my glasses again.

12:54 pm

in 5 -- add, the birth occurred a day before the *** date, pl

12:54 pm

back :)

12:54 pm

there. no blanks...

12:55 pm

ooh! thanks BR! didn't have that one!

12:55 pm

those two, I mean.

12:55 pm

honey waffles with blueberries. Bruce is the best!

12:55 pm

hey jes, quick breakfast

12:55 pm

:-D *waves to Bruce* good job!

12:55 pm

in 6 -- add, one emancipated is considered and a****

12:55 pm

i didn't have to make it, he handed it to me already done up :)

12:56 pm

now that was just peculiar, BR! thanks! i's immobilized...

12:56 pm

thanks, babrab

12:58 pm

no 7 --- the most accomplished quidnunc

12:58 pm

hm. never heard that latin term before. interesting meaning, BR!

12:59 pm

the who did what now, bab?

12:59 pm

i mean, i have the word already, but that clue still confused me ;)

12:59 pm

quidnunc means "busybody" according the online dictionary... latin for "what now?"

12:59 pm

huh

1:00 pm

learn something new everyday

1:00 pm

I need one more tile for NBT. the upper-most E please?

1:00 pm

indeed, jes. and thanks to BR my day is actually already complete *considers going back to bed a calling it a victory...*

1:01 pm

et7, stid

1:01 pm

et 7... thanks. *thinking*

1:01 pm

hehe. good plan! but that would make my back hurt, so instead i'll stay up and finish re-hairing this My Little Pony

1:02 pm

an ar before the t would make the et a natural well

1:02 pm

thanks BR *thinking*

1:02 pm

got it!!!

1:03 pm

we have lots of those around here actually... remember the rainier beer commercials from the 80s?

1:03 pm

down to 30 and no blanks...

1:03 pm

sure do

1:04 pm

raaaiiiiineeeeeerrrr commercials?

1:04 pm

those were so corny -- but memorable. we had some good Ivar's commercials, too. I miss Ivar...

1:04 pm

oh! and Cal Worthington and his "dog" spot...

1:04 pm

hamms beer

1:05 pm

not rainier, but from the land of sky blue waters

1:06 pm

indeed they were. until they bought up Olympia Brewing and ran it into the ground... *grumpy mama look*

1:06 pm

or was it the South Africans they sold it to who did that?

1:07 pm

"It's the Water" no more... the last owners attached a clause that no future owners could do any bottling from that location.

yeah, I get to see the deserted decaying Olympia Brewery building everyday, it's really sad

1:07 pm

hello mccurl. yes, it really devastated the tumwater-littlerock economy. They are still trying to recover.

fight now days is who has the rights to those incredible wells.

1:08 pm

and every month that building is empty, you know it's getting closer to being just torn down instead of used. such a waste.

hi stid

1:09 pm

During the 1970s, Olympia acquired Hamm's and Lone Star. Olympia Brewing also produced Buckhorn Beer

I remember going through that building, as a kid, for the tour and those enormous copper vats; they were incredible. I actually have a beer glass from the brewery......coveted by several family members

1:09 pm

The Schmidt Family, which owned and operated the Brewery and company, elected to sell to Heilemann's Old Style Beer Company in 1982. Heilemann's was subsequently purchased by Pabst in 1983

1:10 pm

yes, and it smelled so very very good -- I loved how warm the room with the vats was.

ohhhhhh the memories!

1:10 pm

As with many other regional breweries, ownership of this brewery eventually passed through several corporations including Pabst, G. Heileman, and Stroh's, until the brewery was eventually purchased by SABMiller.

1:10 pm

Ah, thanks BR -- acquisitions all over the place.

1:10 pm

Miller closed the Olympia brewery on July 1, 2003 citing the unprofitability of such a small brewery.

1:11 pm

And now the big thing really is "microbrews" -- getting the beer locally again. The more things change...

it really doesn't matter who sold what to whom......it's just sad when something so historical goes under regardless of what it is.

1:12 pm

Good (still barely) morning gang...

1:12 pm

Yes, and sad that my children never had a chance to go through the brewery... they could have, I suppose but somehow we always thought we could go "later"

1:12 pm

morning, pini

1:12 pm

hello pini!

1:13 pm

Isn't it a bit early to be drinking....oh, wait, you're all reminiscing...I remember the Rainier and Olympia breweries, too!!!

1:13 pm

down to 26. I think I will list now.

my oldest daughter was the only one of my kids that got that opportunity but she was young enough that she doesn't matter. She loves the old building though and the ability to tell her daughter stories about the place.

sorry that was doesn't remember!!!

1:15 pm

Yes, it is such a fixture, both architecturally and socially. Though I have to admit the new building's peculiar color always depressed me. I much preferred the old brick one (which was long before my time)

hey pini

1:15 pm

wonder if the methane produced in the brewery was captured and used to heat or cool it

1:15 pm

Howdy all. Goin To Try To finisH my LasT 29, buT my keyboard is aCTing weird....

1:16 pm

In lieu of my girls seeing the breweries...we live fairly close to King Estate Wineries (build in the tradition of a true French vinyard and winery). It's barrel vaults are absolutely incredible...so if you want to "reminisce" and a winery can substitute, it's worth the trip!

1:16 pm

hi all, have new puppy pics, going to upload them now :)

1:16 pm

no BR, that was long before such ideas were in vogue

1:16 pm

* curtsy * mcurl, not sure if we've met before (but sounds like you're from the PNW, too).

1:16 pm

rigHT now THE babble lunCH is Happening in DC

1:16 pm

hi trif, sprite

1:16 pm

* wish I was there, trif *

1:17 pm

oh, I would love to go there, pini -- are those the ones that are near the children's fairytale amusement park on I-5?

1:17 pm

ME TOO

1:17 pm

hey trifioso! *envious of babblers meeting in person*

I don't chat often, just a lurker! Yes I'm from the PNW; south PS--near oly

1:17 pm

oh, my manners! pini -- this is mccurl -- mccurl, pini!

1:17 pm

No, stid...this is southwest of Eug/Spr...surrounded by "vines", up on a hill...

so nice to meet you Pini

1:18 pm

likewise, mcurl ;)

1:18 pm

okay, I will have to look them up.

1:18 pm

no worries, stid...

1:18 pm

mccurl, wouldn't it be funny if we met someday on purpose and realized we had passed each other in town all these years?

1:18 pm

now, that would be funny!!! ;)

1:18 pm

morning sprite and trif :)

1:19 pm

http://www.kingestate.com/

1:19 pm

1:19 pm

hey pini, jes :)

1:19 pm

wait! SPRITE??? WHERE???? *runs back in chog*

1:20 pm

oh! there you are!!! (((hugs sprite)))

1:20 pm

Here's a tidbit of info for you, Stid...the constrution company I used to work for won an Oregon award for the single largest concrete pour (barrell vaults) when they were contracted to build the winery! :)

1:20 pm

wow... that must have been an impressive line-up of mixer trucks!

1:21 pm

...and out in the boonies to boot!!!

1:21 pm

must have been fast drying concrete

1:21 pm

1:22 pm

hi rolin

1:22 pm

ok, puppy pics updated! A close up of Terra even... all wrinkly and adorable.

1:22 pm

1:28 pm

1:28 pm

white yarn, yeah, she'll end up on the blog; she's the gift for one of the people in that meme thing from a few weeks ago.

1:29 pm

I missed the meme theme. For some reason even though I am taking only a half-time program I am working nearly as hard as last quarter! My computer time is limited unless I am home sick.

1:30 pm

down to 5...

1:30 pm

oh, it's basically a sign up and i'll make something for you thing, but limited to 7 people, and you have to post the same offer in your blog

1:30 pm

sounds like a fun activity! a lot of the crafter's blogs I enjoy do that regularly

1:30 pm

1:31 pm

1:35 pm

i swear i tried that

1:35 pm

Spring, the sweet spring, is the year’s pleasant king, Then blooms each thing, then maids dance in a ring, Cold doth not sting, the pretty birds do sing: Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!

1:35 pm

thank

1:35 pm

thans

1:35 pm

yes, this week there is no school.

1:35 pm

1:35 pm

BR, that is one of my favorite poems! LOL you find the most interesting ones to post.

1:35 pm

a serenade!

1:36 pm

Hi all. I am just popping in to take a peek. Even though it's a small grid, I doubt I'll finish. I am just too tired!

1:36 pm

that is nice. one of the Stidkids had school Monday, went for two hours Tuesday and then because of the snow his school closed (roof damage in Dec means they can't be in the building if there is any accumulation).

1:36 pm

hey michnick!

1:36 pm

off to bed with me. Hi and bye Mich, and bye all, have fun! *hugs*

1:37 pm

sweet dreams sprite. Good to see you and congrats on Terra!

1:37 pm

be well, sprite

1:37 pm

bye, sprite :)

1:37 pm

hullo michnick

1:38 pm

I will be extra glad when spring comes, therefore!

1:38 pm

1:38 pm

Hi stid, BR, jes, sprite (g'nite)

1:39 pm

1:39 pm

1:39 pm

1:40 pm

It's absolutely gorgeous here today...no snow (*sniffle*), 50F already, sunny, and now clouds in the sky!!! woot woot!!!

The only one that didn't appear easily to me was fo5 - add the canadian noise and a consonant.

2:05 pm

what does 'to monkey it' mean? Is it when you have a good guess?

got that one, uni, thanks. probably a fish....

2:05 pm

Monkeying is trying letter combinations that you wouldn't necessarily think normally. The monkeys do the hard work..it's like the phrase monkeying around.

2:06 pm

Do you have the cheese fo5? Best for parties, I hear.

2:06 pm

Okay - and what about 'fish'?

or like monkeys on typewriters randomly generating Shakespeare...

2:06 pm

A fish is a word that is easy and common that you 'should' get anyway

2:06 pm

We are big on animal terms..

2:06 pm

27 left tina

yup, it was a fish I was missing.

2:07 pm

fish are often babblets, or even words we use everyday

2:07 pm

FIREWORKS!!!! wOOt WOOt!!!

2:07 pm

hi all ! 5 left

uni, do you know what the origin of "fish" in the babble context was?

2:07 pm

Congrats Trifi!

woo hoo trif!!

hi harry!

2:07 pm

Thanks uni, i am now up on the technical terminology x

2:08 pm

hi fuq

2:08 pm

Honestly, no. I have been here for two years and we have used it in that time. It used to be (more commonly) that someone gives you a fish when you miss an easy words, but now the words themselves are considered the fish. Maybe because so many babblets are obscure fish?

more than one IN6?

sorry, more than 2?

2:08 pm

Three in 6

2:08 pm

(fish slap. one gets slapped with a fish)

OK, that's my missing I

2:09 pm

That would be Monty Python...

2:09 pm

exactement. and it kept going in the UK, it's a very random expression

2:10 pm

Ata, has anyone got FM's lovely PB images hosted anymore, since she is going low key? I miss the 'old days'.

2:10 pm

I loves the Monty Python. Thank Heavens babble is practically run by those from the UK! :D

2:13 pm

fo + canadian noise and consonant, harry.

2:14 pm

2:14 pm

How about the an5?

2:14 pm

I prefer to slap with the fish, or throw it at people...you can also tell an 'aged' player by clues. (if they ask, how/when they ask). It's nigh a science.

2:14 pm

that's a babblet

one of those tree creatures from Tolkien

2:14 pm

an + easter l***. (for the religious)

2:15 pm

Judy, I'm digging the idea of coming up there to PA to visit you and touring the YlingYling facility

5:07 pm

Ciocia means Aunt in Polish

5:07 pm

Yuengling, Monkey! LOL You're welcome any time.

If you have been on 1 official date with someone (and one "unofficial" get-together) and this person has asked for your phone number, and this person has lined up ANOTHER date with you, should you have expected him to call or email on Valentine's Day????

5:17 pm

yes, Monkey?

I would say yes.

5:17 pm

nope..too soon

5:17 pm

May I please have a clue for an5-10? Thanks

5:18 pm

I would say a card was in order.

5:18 pm

an + lord of rings tree creature

5:18 pm

an 5 -- add a portable canvas shelter: t***

5:18 pm

It would have been nice, Monkey, but you're far from sweethearts yet.

5:18 pm

NM...found it.

5:18 pm

i wouldnt take it too seriously at this point

5:19 pm

Thank you BabbleRabble.

5:19 pm

I wasn't expecting anything along the line of sweethearts, just a phone call to say Happy V Day

5:19 pm

even if he wanted to, he may have been afraid of what you would think...moving in too quickly, you know

5:19 pm

OK good point

5:19 pm

ohen

5:20 pm

however, in my mind, I think he's probably toast

I would have expected a call, but would let it go in case like Krista said he was worried it was too much too fast.

5:20 pm

Whoops - monkeying in the wrong box again!!!

5:20 pm

more pics uploaded

5:20 pm

metfan, please..limit chog words to ones I need, ok?

5:21 pm

Yes, Monkey, maybe he thought that would be too much too soon

5:21 pm

That wasn't even a word - that was monkeying...

5:21 pm

ok kid happy again

5:21 pm

6:03 pm

i was kind enough not to post the one in which everyone was chewing...hmmm..

6:03 pm

So glad you were able to get together. It is so nice to put faces with written comments. Kind of like seeing radio personalities and matching voices with real people.

6:03 pm

LOL krista

6:03 pm

Woohoo MetFan!!!!

6:03 pm

congrats, metfan!!!

6:04 pm

that's always been the best part for me, stidgmere, when I've gone to chatter's get-togethers =]

6:04 pm

it is a little surreal at first, Stidgmere

6:04 pm

WHOOHOOO to all who finished earlier. So, DC, Dan2, it sounds and looks like you all had a good time.

6:05 pm

oh, we did, met, all of us :)

6:05 pm

i would have had no idea what to order without Seain there

6:05 pm

sometime we, on the west coast, should have a little babble-together ;)

6:05 pm

It is certainly a group of talkers. I am usually a listener so I really enjoy the experience--not really necessary to talk since that is the strong suit of most of the Babblers.

6:05 pm

Who'da thunk that a bunch of Babble nerds could be such good-looking people!!!

6:05 pm

Ditto Krista.

6:05 pm

which one is kje and which one is monkey??

6:05 pm

i don't think they have anything bad an the menu, there, but some dishes are tastier than others, as we all saw :)

6:05 pm

same here, stidgmere ;)

6:05 pm

the bacon dates were the big hit

6:06 pm

where are the pics?

6:06 pm

We should get together pinikula. Let's choose a place that is either equally inconvenient, or a place that most live close to.

6:06 pm

I have pics in my profile

6:06 pm

http://tinyurl.com/ac4jkb

6:06 pm

Bacon and dates? Really?

6:07 pm

those bacon dates were awesome! *licking lips*

6:07 pm

it's fun to tell people you're going to a tapas bar..'cause it sounds like topless bar...

6:07 pm

whereabouts are you, stidgmere?

6:07 pm

dates, wrapped in bacon and fried, stidgemere

6:07 pm

LOL krista

6:07 pm

6:18 pm

be well, judy :) glad you enjoyed, it was nice to see you

6:18 pm

hey I'm back, I was uploading pics to my Flikr and my Facebook

6:19 pm

pini, the et7 is et + polyn***** food is yummy

6:19 pm

hi lil*

6:19 pm

hi Pini, did you get the et7 from that clue?

6:19 pm

that's a word????

6:20 pm

(thx lil*

6:20 pm

)

6:20 pm

et 7/28 is et plus vowel plus Chinese people are A****.

6:20 pm

OK i must run now... bye all :)

6:20 pm

hasta, lil*, t'was lovely seeing you again

6:20 pm

well, now the predicament...windows side of 'puter (mac-mini, partitioned for both Win and Mac OS) suffered a mal-virus and nearly crippled me in midst of finishing a grid last week. IT folks at work told me to just go Mac, erasing Windows on the c:drive...in so doing, my external drives now cannot be added to because Mac doesn't give me - the ADministrator - any rights...big security issue on Mac side. Understandable, but now can't move files into safer places using Mac...

6:20 pm

Bye lil*monkey!I will see you tomorrow in the chat log

6:20 pm

tc lil*...glad you had a good time, too

6:21 pm

hi min

6:21 pm

oh no, pav!!!

6:21 pm

Hi Pinikula! How are ya? Sorry I missed your entrance

6:21 pm

er, mac OS won't let you add drives?

6:22 pm

thx min...how are you?

6:22 pm

I am doing well. I finished at 5:44. Monkeyed the et7.

6:23 pm

m thinking about re-partitioning drive to add Win side again, and yes I'll get the anti-virus software...DC...I have to "reformat" the external drives to allow file sharing and movement...which would cost me some 300Gb of stuff collected over the years,, taxes, bdugets, recipes, letters, etc...

6:23 pm

well done!!!

6:23 pm

oh, gotcha, pav

6:24 pm

i've used XP online for years, and never had a virus issue.

6:24 pm

nor a malware issue

6:24 pm

not what you might call a good day, eh, pav?

6:24 pm

I could prob go into work and move files arund ..they use USB ports to connect...I have to go in anyhwhooo and "clean up"

6:24 pm

but i am fastidious about cleaning and virus-checking

6:24 pm

true that, pav

6:25 pm

well, I'm supposed to learn Mac speak anywhooo, that's why O bought a Mac, yes? and I've had my share of troublesome Windows

6:25 pm

well, i'm on a macbook right now, i ought disclose

6:26 pm

I just htought I would have the best of both with a partitioned drive...

6:27 pm

and Macs aren't supposed to have any bugs,.....so they say...

6:27 pm

oh, totally, pav, partitioning good

6:27 pm

seti

6:27 pm

ah! cats everywhere

6:56 pm

hi jellen and ph!

6:56 pm

Well, pulling from a main road onto a side road (right turn), I was in the proper place, and there was oncoming traffic...... (remember, we drive on the left side of the road).......

6:56 pm

hello, Krista!

6:57 pm

Had pulled to a stop, and then was starting to turn to go acroos the path of oncoming traffic....

6:57 pm

6:57 pm

ah, yes, aussie, glad it went well

6:57 pm

*across

6:57 pm

k,, and?

6:58 pm

when all of a sudden, some A-Hole in a 4x4, overtook me on my right side ! (remember, I am turning right)

6:58 pm

OMG!

6:58 pm

There was no rwason for him to overtake me, he was going straight on !

6:58 pm

YIKES!!! i'd have to hurry home to change clothes after that!

6:59 pm

OMG! what a douchebag, and how scary!

6:59 pm

true DR, lol

6:59 pm

Most a-holes drive 4x4s and most 4x4s contain a-holes ..

6:59 pm

wow, prob makes you want to give up on driving! (hope not)

6:59 pm

I almost stood all over the brakes, and my knuckles were white !

6:59 pm

No way Krista !!

6:59 pm

6:59 pm

understandably, aussie!

6:59 pm

that is scary Aussie

7:00 pm

Scary, Aussie!

7:00 pm

Yikes ..

7:00 pm

My instructor let me pull over when I had completed my turn into the side road, and let me calm down.... I have to say, I almost had a heart attack !!

7:01 pm

how was the instructor feeling

7:01 pm

Yay, you completed the turn!

7:01 pm

The instructor was very angry..... Not at me, you understand !

7:02 pm

my daughter (13.5) is already trying to learn driving rules..i told her those are easy, it's watching out for crazy drivers that is 90% of safety

7:02 pm

agreed Krista

7:02 pm

indeed so, krist

7:02 pm

absolutely Krista, and A-Holes like today just prove the theory !!

7:02 pm

sounds like a resopnsible instructor, aussie

7:03 pm

He really is Seain, I really like him..... I have never heard him raise his voice until today...... (I am only on my 3rd lesson, and am already driving through the town centres !

7:03 pm

so was today the final test? are you licensed now, or was it just instruction?

7:04 pm

nevermind :)

7:04 pm

No Krista, its only my 3rd ever lesson !

7:06 pm

I love the driving..... Its the scary things that happen I am not feeling so hot about !

7:06 pm

fine, ty dc, she seems to be adjusting to the new place but it is becoming clear that she didn't move a minute too soon

7:07 pm

i'm glad to hear she's adjusting well, jmc. Knowing that moving in time is very bittersweet, i'm sure.

7:07 pm

are u home now, jmc?

7:07 pm

those scary things get easier with time as one is driving more, aussie

7:08 pm

yes krista and it was quite the trip

7:08 pm

I know Seain, I will get used to it all.... eventually....

7:08 pm

hope the stress is over for you and your mom, for now, at least

7:08 pm

7:10 pm

I am not sure what happened someone jumped the gun and everyone started congratulating me.

7:19 pm

et 7/28 was my last word. I monkeyed it by surprise.

7:19 pm

well that is a pleasant surprise

7:20 pm

So, I was walking Prince today on the path along the lake where I live. I had the shock of coming upon an owner with her dog who had just dropped dead!

7:20 pm

you needed your last in whatever.we took it to mean your last word of the grid :)

7:20 pm

well done, phan!

7:20 pm

7:20 pm

7:20 pm

dog dropped dead? How awful.

7:21 pm

7:21 pm

He had apparently had spinal surgery a week ago.

7:21 pm

How old was your dog & what breed was he phandmd?

7:21 pm

poor thing

7:21 pm

My dog was 12 and he was a boarder collie German shepherd cross

7:21 pm

omg- post tramatic stress for you Phan?

7:22 pm

yes, it was not a pleasant thing to happen upon

7:22 pm

I felt so bad for the owner

7:22 pm

how awful

7:22 pm

on the other hand, at least her dog's life wasn't robbed from her like mine was

7:22 pm

My dog is prone to heart problems, so I hope he does not drop dead! My kind of dog does not live very long

7:23 pm

what kind of dog do you have Min

7:23 pm

what do you have MIn

7:23 pm

I have a Cavelier King Charles Spaniel. He is almost 1.

7:51 pm

many years ago my roommates dog started barking at the kitchen and went basically crazy

7:51 pm

oh..hope that was the case

7:51 pm

maybe he was a no smoking advocate

7:51 pm

was your roommate a bad cook?

7:51 pm

we couldn't figure it until we realized we were cooking lamb and even though it was raining like all get outs we had to take the scraps all the way out to the trash

Yipee! Dr G sent me my sign in details, so I can finish out the grid.

7:52 pm

Yay, red...

7:52 pm

yay, red!

7:52 pm

? why did you need that, Red?

7:52 pm

we talked to the vet and she said that sometimes they train sheepdogs not to attack sheep by hitting them with a dead sheep carcass

7:53 pm

yeah red

7:53 pm

oh, weird

7:53 pm

eeewwww, poor dogs

My computer crashed this morning and I did not seem to have the right password email combo.

7:53 pm

not very niche

7:53 pm

wow!

7:53 pm

nice

7:53 pm

oh, I am sorry, Red

7:53 pm

glad you're back red!

7:54 pm

at least you have another computer and your log in now

7:54 pm

she apparently flunked out of sheep dog school and that is how we got her

7:54 pm

i have to monkey mine when i get signed out, red because i use it so seldom

It was a frustrating day, but I was able to rebuild the computer.

7:54 pm

i'm impressed, red

I just changed my icon to one of the herons I saw today and I am happy.

7:55 pm

I have three variations I use for all passwords so I won't forget

7:55 pm

i have about a 10 second delay in the chat tonight.

Oh no lbd, all I did was push the rebuild button.

7:55 pm

I saw the icon -- it is a wonderful picture

7:55 pm

Oh, wow, that is an awesome pic, Red

actually jmc, thats what happened, I thought for sure I wouldnt have used the variation...

7:55 pm

beautiful

THanks! i am so excited, I discovered a rookery of herons.

7:56 pm

cool pic red!

7:56 pm

we have a blue heron that lives on our pond...

7:56 pm

they are such cool birds

7:56 pm

hi ruru

7:56 pm

hi guys

7:56 pm

Hi, ruru!

7:56 pm

hi ruru. yes they are cool birds

7:56 pm

i've seen white and blue ones in the wild...very pretty

7:57 pm

I just changed my icon pic too. It's a pic of my precious Comet.

7:57 pm

need to make some tea, be back in a bit

7:57 pm

Did you know the White Heron is an immature Blue Heron?

Oh ph, Comet is so fluffy and adorable!

7:57 pm

i am sleepy and fed up with grid..night Babblers!

Some white herons are immature blues.

7:57 pm

really phand?

7:58 pm

g

7:58 pm

g'night Krista

7:58 pm

G'night, Krista

7:58 pm

bye krista

7:58 pm

do white herons need paxil too?

7:58 pm

That is according to one of my bird books, I forget which one exactly

it is easier for white birds to blend into groups for protection, so they stay white for a long itme.

Hi BR.

7:58 pm

i did not know that, ph and red..cool! nighty night

7:58 pm

Thanks, Red for your nice comment on my Comet

7:59 pm

groan BR

Ok going to the list, this is a short grid, but I had sort of a delay.

7:59 pm

I saw a purple feathered heron once...

7:59 pm

wow ruru!

7:59 pm

hello, redT --- perhaps that is where the idiom birds of a feather flock together came from

thats the Little Blue heron ruru!!!

8:00 pm

but he was listening to punk music and had piercings.. so I figured that it wasn't natural

its got purply black feathers!

8:00 pm

even though he is standing in the lake, he really didn't like water, my daughter was playing with her friend and the friend's dog who loves the water

8:00 pm

torturing him

Oh, maybe not.

8:00 pm

opps, so she was torturing him

8:00 pm

I know you miss him

8:00 pm

ruru!

My dog loves water, but not bathing. its an anomoly.

8:01 pm

what do people call herons after a drastic trim?

PH how is your new guy getting on?

8:01 pm

what BR?

??

8:01 pm

He is doing great!

8:01 pm

what BR?

8:01 pm

her-offs?

8:01 pm

I don't know; just asking

8:01 pm

His obedience training is going really good

8:02 pm

lol BR

8:02 pm

and we haven't had a pee incident in over 1 week, maybe it's been almost 2 weeks now

8:03 pm

I highly recommend clicker training

BR, groans! and thats sounding great phand.

8:03 pm

well, I don

8:03 pm

8:03 pm

8:07 pm

We have a rookery out here of Herons and Giant Egrets in Bolinas near Pt Reyes

thanks Ruru, I am overly proud of it. I got some nice ones today.

8:07 pm

couldn't be overly proud of that picture

8:07 pm

hundreds of birds

I am thrilled to see the rookery we have, I went to Pt reyes as a kid, Loved it. My sister and I packed the car full of seaweed, which did not thrill my parents.

8:07 pm

I agree.. it is like out of National Geographic

8:08 pm

I expect you were just trying to kelp...er.. I mean help them out ... right?

WHo knows what we were thinking, we once took home a Horseshoe crab too, in Maryland.

I did enter this photo in a contest, but I think it wont win, I saw some of the other entries. they were fantastic.

8:09 pm

a horseshoe crab isn't so bad provided it was dead before you found it

8:09 pm

bet he wasn't too happy about that..

No a live one.

I dont know how my sister got it into the car.

8:10 pm

ooo probably not live for long stinky!!

8:10 pm

they are kind of hard to walk.. hard to get a leash on them

My parents somehow got it out of the car eventually.

8:10 pm

were you keeping horseshoe horses in need of a horseshoe crab at the time?

8:11 pm

smart parents

hi pini. i am here

10:44 pm

watching the amazing race...if ya need clues, hollar!

10:44 pm

oh, hi, dorens!

10:45 pm

how are ya?

10:45 pm

long day.... skiing. sleigh riding, drinking and playing games with my kids. and here i am

10:45 pm

and you?

10:45 pm

Wow...you were busy!!!

10:45 pm

I took Koda for a 2-hour walk...

10:46 pm

yes i was, and tired eyond belief, but babble i must (much to ken's chagrin)

10:46 pm

2 hour walk is impressive.. how was your weather?

10:46 pm

such a diehard! ;)

10:47 pm

it started out around 50F...but cooled off quicker than I'd hoped...but no rain (a good thing)

10:47 pm

ah.. warmer than new hampshire

10:47 pm

sounds like it

10:48 pm

yah-- cross country skiing for a newbie like me is NOT fun whenthe tracks are pure ice

10:49 pm

I haven't skiied since I was about 6 yo in Alaska (and the ski's were only about 18" long)

10:49 pm

wow. where did you grow up?

10:50 pm

<-- former military brat...all over the place

10:50 pm

ah... i underestand..... but alaska?

10:51 pm

Ft. Wainwright is up there

10:52 pm

very different life from growing up in one town from K - college

10:52 pm

yes, very...but I guess I can say I'm "well traveled"

10:53 pm

as a a guidance counselor, i am aware of how different it is for the children who have made more than one move in their young lives... has its advantages and disadvantages, as do many situations

10:54 pm

I can speak from experience about at least some of the trials and tribulations...but in the end...I wouldn't trade it for the world...

10:54 pm

I've been to, visited, and/or lived in 43 states and 13 countries in my lifetime.. ;)

10:55 pm

exactly - it had to have caused some hardships... but in the long run... many good things have come from it

10:55 pm

...I have a sister-in-law who was born and raised in the same place...left the state the first time on a date with my brother...

10:56 pm

...they live in Germany now (for about the last 12 years)...and absolutely love it.

10:56 pm

and you wouldn' t trade places with her for that upbringing, would you?

10:56 pm

(he's in the military)

10:57 pm

Oh, gosh, no...definitely wouldn't trade places...I learned so much about everything: people, cultures, areas, etc., etc., etc.

10:57 pm

good then

10:58 pm

=]

11:00 pm

I rather think, having been to so many places, I have a shorter list than others who "want to see the world"

11:00 pm

...and, go figure, still absolutely love to travel!

11:01 pm

ah, but seeing other places enriches life so

11:01 pm

How about yourself...like to travel?

11:01 pm

well, i have 21 left and think listing is imperative now, listening to snoring and thinking sleep sounds like a great idea about now

11:02 pm

uh oh...let me know if I can help!! :)

11:02 pm

you can do it!

11:03 pm

love to travel, but do get stuck in the same places..... just planned a trip to paris, my favorite city, for my 60th birthday. with all my kids.. meanng lots of $$. been to paris four times since 2000, but still need to go back

11:03 pm

wow!!! just about every 2 years...well done!!!

11:04 pm

My next trip (I hope) will be to the British Isles and Scandinavia...

11:04 pm

this came up at the drunken dinner tonite with my sons... we usually go to martha's vineyard every summer... and will this summer. but I needed something special for 60 and had always thought it would be an alaskan cruise, but tonight realzied that if they wanted paris, so did I!

11:05 pm

ok. listing now

11:05 pm

I'll bet you can't wait until your birthday!!!

11:05 pm

how exciting...

11:05 pm

...I loved touring The Louvre, Notre Dame, Arch de Triumph, etc., etc., so many places...

11:06 pm

birthday i jan... trip in the summer (work in school... summer vacation still rules my life)

11:07 pm

I work at school (Uni), too...but I don't get "summers" off...darn it!

11:07 pm

happy belated b-day!

11:07 pm

thanks. it was!

11:08 pm

what do you do? (i'm counselor)

11:08 pm

I'm a Business Manager for two smaller departments on campus (one is a Master's program, the other is for undergrads and grad certs)

11:09 pm

like it?

11:11 pm

Actually, I do...keeps me very busy...although lately is been a bit overwhelming...we're moving one of the departments (my primary) across campus to a new space with only 6 weeks notice (and planning the move while classes and other regular work in the middle of term is the only part that has been hair raising).

11:12 pm

yup - challenges and adversity do keep it new, don't they?

11:12 pm

now, that's an understatement! :)

11:12 pm

how do you like counseling? what age group? high school?

11:13 pm

oh no. K - 8, which means realliy counseling, not guidance. love it.. every day something different

11:14 pm

and a chance to make a difference in their lives, help some who really need it.. nothing could be more satisfying

11:14 pm

I don't ever really remember counselors in elementary school...what kinds of things are kids experiencing nowadays??

11:15 pm

I hear ya on helping those who really need it...it's rather fun working with freshman...still rather "wet behind the ears"...

11:15 pm

...just being a good role model gives them some comfort. ;)

11:16 pm

it runs the gamut.. from divorce at home. to parents being put in jail, beatings, incest, drug abuse by parents.... to friends who won't play with them,,, anger management, impulse control.. poor social skills ( a lot of this seems to point to incompetent parents, now that i think of it)

11:17 pm

wow...I can't even imagine...where was all this when we were younger?

11:18 pm

how are you coming along with the list? be sure to let me know if you want any helpful hints...

11:18 pm

swept under the carpet to some degree... but there was less of it. More stay at home moms. more parents taking control of their kids and paying attention

11:18 pm

or...bottom line...more parents simply "cared"? hmmmm...

11:20 pm

oh i dont know. I think folks today are probably doing the best they can, just need better modeling or something

11:21 pm

and material things seem to matter more. when i wa growing up, if you didn't have a color tv, so be it. today you need so many expensive toys. people barely putting food o the table still have to own these expensive game boxes.. x boxes, etc

11:22 pm

perhaps...I wonder if part of it is a result of "respect" or lack thereof (oh, how times have changed)...the idea of an adolescent not using a title for an adult still gets me...things as simple as that...

11:22 pm

yah, a lot less respect today

11:22 pm

so true so true (on the electronic aspect)

11:22 pm

feel like an old fuddyduddy saying that tho

11:23 pm

(Koda's tugging on my jeans...need to run him outside for a moment)...

11:23 pm

k

11:23 pm

Hey, don't feel old!!! I still call our family friend of 30 yrs by MR and his wife, MRS....and I'm 48 yo now!!! I just can't feel comfortable calling them Bert and Millie!
