3:40 am

sure is, andree. everyone must be bbling furiously

Hi Andree, Rose & Sprite!

Morning all....

3:54 am

hi Flask

3:54 am

Hey Sprite......long time no see!

3:54 am

you too lynxxx

3:55 am

silly bugs making a pest of themselves. On the mend now.

3:55 am

Good to hear!

3:55 am

You have been busy Flask?

3:55 am

hi flask

3:55 am

lyn, that was last july. next july, we're off on a cruise of the pacific

3:55 am

have you been sick sprite

3:56 am

hey spritey

3:56 am

Rose, oh good..I was thinking of you with all their troubles

3:56 am

yes, managed to lure another flu :(

3:57 am

oh, sprite, not good. didn't you have your flu vax?

3:57 am

yes I did.

3:58 am

Sorry Lynxxx....yes I have just moved house...at long last!!

3:58 am

just think how bad it might have been without.

3:58 am

gratz Flask

3:58 am

lol rose, indeed!

3:59 am

due for mine now, plus pneumovax this year. that one smarts!!!!

3:59 am

Sprite. I have converted! As you know I have had a heavy cold for the last 4 weeks. Yesterday I bought an over-the-counter Homeopathic Head Cold tiny tiny tablets...with amazingly fast results. Perhaps you could look out for similar remedies, the flu seems to get you regukarly

3:59 am

ouch... but better than the alternative, right rose?

4:00 am

i have never had the flu vaccine even though i am told those of my age should

4:00 am

you're not kidding. last time i was hospitalised over christmas. not going there again. there are only sick people there, you know!

4:00 am

remind me Flask...where from and where to? I do rememeber you talking about moving quite a while ago wasn't iut?

4:01 am

that is a good idea, lyn, I will check. I remember a homeopathic alternative for antibiotics, which took care of a constant cough the regular meds didn't work for. Thanks.

4:01 am

better a short smart than that again, rose. You don't belong amidst sick people ;)

4:02 am

hey all

4:02 am

and there's a brilliant chesty cough syrup, all natural, called Prospan. have had mother mac on it... it's done wonders

4:02 am

hi Bfsog

4:02 am

are you usually healthy, Andree?

4:02 am

hi bfsog

4:03 am

lol, sprite, my hubby would argue that point!

4:03 am

hey bfs

4:03 am

how is babbleland

4:03 am

silly hubby!

4:04 am

noted - thanks Rose

4:04 am

always sprite, have the occaisonal cold, never had an operation or a broken bone etc, i am very lucky

4:04 am

mine is delightful, bsfog, fun grid and good company. How's yours?

4:04 am

thanks rose, wrote it down.

4:04 am

not too bad, bks. not too many zany words tonite

4:04 am

hi bfsog

4:05 am

that is wonderful, Andree! I used to be quite strong, but now things are different. Very lousy resistance to bugs and viruses, so I am sick way too often. Am hoping for a great summer!

4:06 am

Good morning everyone.

4:06 am

morning elder!

4:06 am

hello Elder!

4:06 am

@sprite im good ta, just started the grid

4:06 am

lyn and sprite, it's the natural alternative to ' bisolvon', but seems to work heaps better. has vit B6 among other things. from memory B6 is for healthy mucosal tissue.

4:07 am

Sprite :) long time no see. Sorry to read you have been poorly, but glad to hear your feeling better.

4:07 am

great, bfsog. Enjoy!

4:07 am

hi elder

4:07 am

4:08 am

you need to look after yourself and build up your resistance

4:08 am

Sprite the weather here has been wonderful. Is Holland receiving similar days.

4:09 am

oh yes, lots of sun, not too much rain and quite good temps here. I am outside a lot with Terra.

4:10 am

that h looks tricky

4:10 am

Sprite, am off for a few days had more back injections, so for a few days feeling like I have trampled and kicked by a cart horse.:) but doing good, thank you. How is the new puppy coming along, keeping you busy:)

4:10 am

4:10 am

Terra is doing brilliantly. Sweet, playful and smart. One happy little dog!

4:11 am

4:11 am

I hope the injections will do the trick, elder

The H was one of the first words I put in.

4:11 am

4:23 am

4:23 am

4:23 am

4:24 am

6/21

4:25 am

4:29 am

I don't have any gs

4:29 am

down to 36 left though

4:29 am

4:30 am

4:30 am

Stew's talking to me, think he needs a walk. BBS

4:30 am

enjoy lyn!

wow, that looks German. must look that one up

4:31 am

ty Sprite

4:32 am

g's done

ty sprite

means wept or lamented, archaic scottish

4:33 am

found it because it is a dutch word to me. Meaning a kind of grainy breakfast/dessert. Served with melasses, usually. Quite oldfashioned.

4:33 am

I don't think I would have found that without a clue

lol, I'm positive I wouldn't have found it

4:34 am

merriam-webster says it is the past particle of 'to say hello'.

4:34 am

well me too really lol

4:35 am

scots past particle, wiktionary says the same.

4:35 am

well better go do something...may even have to d*** if I can find a d*****. I d***** it lol

4:35 am

4:36 am

4:36 am

bye all later maybe

bye kallia

4:37 am

bye Kallia, good luck with the chore

four, actually

4:38 am

silly domestical task that are never ever done

why bother, is my philosophy

4:39 am

to keep it from really collecting?

see, if you let it really collect, then when you du4, you feel like you've actually accomplished something...

4:40 am

ah, yes. I feel that way about washing windows.

4:41 am

I used to like cleaning windows.

right. We got new windows last fall, and I'm actually looking forward to them getting dirty enough to bother washing. They're the nice tilt-in ones.

4:42 am

same here. Especially on a nice day. When the water turns black and the windows are like a mirror. For a few hours.

lol. until they are again covered with dust, fingerprints, nose prints (cat), etc

4:44 am

exactly. Or even worse: by some incontinent bird.

4:44 am

lol.

4:48 am

i buy all my meat(and egg) from a local farm up the highway a bit.they raise thier own in small lots and they are all free range and organic

7:28 am

ok I have bee staring at this grid for about 10 minutes now and don't see um ... well you know feces

7:28 am

no chickens in little boxes with thier feet cut off so as to get fat:(

7:28 am

best way to eat them elder

7:28 am

That is impressive Cross. As good animal welfare makes for better eating .

7:29 am

you can go and see you dinner in motion and tour the barns:)

7:29 am

Cross LOL.

7:29 am

oh that infuriates me cross... and so what if they are only for food... don't have to torture them... boy if they could talk...

7:29 am

hee ehe hee cross

7:30 am

lol oodles,they are not tortured

7:30 am

better than the mass production lines

7:30 am

I laughed at imagining Cross seeking his next meal - not the chicken torture.

7:30 am

I didn't say they were... the ones that are though... in little boxes with their feet cut off

7:31 am

THAT'S torture

7:31 am

funny though its strange when you actually know the nakme of the pork chop thats on yer plate

good morning babblers :)

7:31 am

damn makes me sick just thinking about it

7:31 am

morning nono

Crossy did you get the link from Temple Owl yesterday?

7:31 am

no i did not nono

7:32 am

hello nanette

7:32 am

hi nono

7:32 am

Another issue that makes me really cross, is animals travelling for miles across countries to be slaughtered on arrival.

it was about bacon let me see if i can find it for you

7:32 am

sadly ive seen it oodles hence the reason i go to this free range organic farm

7:32 am

hello Nono.

7:32 am

i agree elder, we even ship them abroad here

7:33 am

horrifying

7:33 am

we have what we call "100 mile" stores now.any and all prdice they sell has to be made sold and shipped from within a circle no larger than 100 miles

7:35 am

i tell you it makes a heck of a difference in the fresh veggies

7:35 am

well I hope this world gets green and organic so nothing suffers...eutopian idea for a world filled with people who don't give a rats butt about the enviornment.... just their presious wallet

7:35 am

Recenlty read that the debate about TB being passed to cows is on the agenda again. The badger viewed as the culprit.

7:36 am

Oodle the problem is that we have gotten used to paying cheap prices for food.

7:36 am

Cross. that used to happen years ago and it worked fine then.

7:37 am

what the 100 mmile stores elder?

7:37 am

not everyone can afford good organic produce, i remember my daughter having to have organic produce, it cost the earth, and that was just for her, imagine feeding a family of 4 on that

7:37 am

or just buying it right from the back of the farmers truck in the driveway?

7:37 am

at that time it was £10 for a chicken that wasn't even 3lbs in wieght

7:38 am

ouch

7:38 am

but if we are green in other places we will have enough money to pay for the organic stuff and also the organic stuff will start coming down in price cause there is a bigger market for it...

7:38 am

Jacq, that why it helps the family budget if one can grow stuff yourself in the garden or pots.

7:38 am

nods our weekly income then was £140

7:39 am

we are making a pot garden this year,some tomatos,green beans,snap peas :)

7:39 am

elder i hadn't the time or energy, i was caring for both girls, in wheelchairs, and doing everything for them

7:39 am

kewel cross

7:39 am

its amazing what you can grow on a apt terrace:)

7:39 am

it is cheaper now, and should get even cheaper in future

7:39 am

I think sometimes organic food is priced too much. particularly veg.

7:40 am

that's partly because of the restrictions and standards for the soil they are grown on, it takes a lot for a farm to become organic

7:40 am

well it is more here... the regular supermarkets or getting into the organic produce and I think they should also get into organic meats too

7:41 am

jacq, it was general thought not aimed at you. My goodness you must have times been exhausted. Love and care --you still get tired.

7:41 am

nods

7:41 am

we have five 10 inch around planters and we use them:) at seasons end we dump the old soil in the flower garden outside the building and start with fresh every year;))

7:41 am

5 years to prove organic ground here.

7:42 am

cross? do you have metro there??

7:42 am

Of course all this home ground stuff is causing problems with the peat bogs.

7:42 am

yes we do its our fav store actually

7:42 am

lol we dont have peat bogs elder;)

7:42 am

oodle are you a vegetarian ?.

7:43 am

gtg tc all and see yous all later

7:43 am

poof!

7:43 am

ok I thnk if I am not mistaken they have organic produce... no I am a carnivor/herbivor

7:43 am

Bye Cross.

7:43 am

what is the word for being both?

7:44 am

omnivore

7:44 am

you'll eat anything

7:44 am

suddet

7:44 am

oops

7:44 am

oodle they do but its more expensive - no surprise there.

7:45 am

no I meant metro

7:45 am

Jacq, the rule states clearly if you are going to post words they have to be in the grid. :).

7:45 am

ar eyou in the UK or canada elder?

7:46 am

laughs, i did that earlier, loads of times

7:46 am

oodle Uk- England

7:46 am

can anyone help with the re6/21's and the su6/21, the last one

7:47 am

ok but you have metro?

7:47 am

oodle Not that I am aware of is it a large supermarket ?.

7:47 am

I was referring to metro where crossy lives having organic produce

7:48 am

Oodle, organic food can be purchased here in most shops and supermarkets.

7:48 am

8:38 am

here i am with my Shakespeare tribute!

8:40 am

(don't every body compliment me at once....)

8:40 am

Very poetic, Harpjane. Star-crossed Peeps. Sorrow!

8:41 am

my only regret is that i'm not the one who thought of it!

8:41 am

Am I the only one that thinks Shakespeare was an over-rated hack?

8:41 am

Yes

8:42 am

read some of the Thursday Next books, for a fun look at shakespeare among other things

8:43 am

Shakespeare and fun really never went together for me.

8:45 am

I studied Shakespeare in college asnd have been smitten ever since

8:45 am

me either

8:46 am

what are the stats on the H, and the second row E, please?

8:46 am

Both hy's, Harp. A four and a six.

es5/10 and ec4/6 for the E

8:49 am

8:49 am

some would say i have that problem every Sunday!

8:50 am

top fourth column E state please? for nbt

8:51 am

how many words please?

ed5/16 and pl

8:52 am

8:52 am

thanks trif too

8:52 am

yw arms

morning Trif!

8:53 am

thanks nbt now, which means i can legally look at the list....

8:53 am

Well, call me crazy then. I also don't like Elvis, Bruce Springstein, or Ernest Hemingway.

8:53 am

i don't have the attention span for reading Shakespeare but I love to watch the plays....

8:59 am

Plays are always more interesting when performed. Midsummer's Night Dream was about the only bearable one that I can recall.

that is the only one i have seen done by professionals

have seen others done by schools or local groups

9:03 am

good morning everyon

only a couple of screwy words

gotta run now, happy babbling everyone

9:13 am

Bye, Nono. HAGD.

9:14 am

bye nono, have a great one

9:19 am

I'm rethinking playing babble while babysitting three 3yo's...

9:20 am

Just lock them in the closet, Magyk.

9:21 am

lol Judi, but are you too tired by the time they go to bed Magy?

9:21 am

will that work on 13 year olds, as well???

9:21 am

lol mom, a time you'd sometimes like to lock them up!

9:21 am

Nah. 13 yo's you have to lock in the basement.

9:22 am

UGH... its just a ridiculous age.

9:22 am

LOL Judi

9:22 am

were we not once all children too?

9:22 am

How about yesterday's article about the mom that dropped made her squabbling daughters get out of the car, and then she drove off without them!

9:22 am

It really is a shame that their attitudes so stink, as they are finally at an age where they can be semi-productive around the house... can anyone say Cinderella???

9:23 am

oh my Judi, didn't see that! hope they weren't too far from home

9:23 am

sorry had to put one in time out. they are my sister's triplet boys. and they are kind of cranky right now!

9:23 am

OMG... I live near there and it was on our news on Tuesday... frankly I was like...hmmm, yeah.. I understand.

9:23 am

She probably should not have gotten home and reported her missing... I love how the 12 year old caught up to the car and she let her back in.

9:24 am

could I please have a clue for last su6?

9:24 am

Sounds a bit extreme. I don't think they were very far from home, but the 8 year old was traumatized. Understandably so. Mom really wigged out on that one.

9:24 am

Of course one of the strangest things is that the 10 year old was "picked up" by a good samaritan and brought to the local PD... I would kill my kid if she got into a car with a stranger.

9:25 am

su 6 -- double consonant in the middle; double vowel at the end

9:25 am

It was reported here that they were 10 and 12... so you are talking about 5th and 7th graders...

9:25 am

The whole thing had the potential to go very bad. Some family counseling needed there.

9:25 am

thanks BR

9:25 am

My mom used to threaten my sisters and I all the time with leaving us. Honestly though, being a teacher and in the schools I've noticed that some kids just don't care anymore...

9:25 am

it's funny in a way... think how much things have changed... I can completely hear my dad telling a story about his parents doing something like that and everyother parent of that era would have said the kid deserved it... now we are aghast

9:26 am

OMG I agree Judi... but let me ask you... hasn't it ever occurred to you even once??? LOL.

9:26 am

my mom did the same Magy - she'd put her coat on and say she was leaving us - we were quite young and would cling to her! a very bad thing to do to little ones

9:26 am

I think my Dad actually did it to my sister and I... obviously I was not that traumatized by it.

9:26 am

NOT that I think it was a smart thing to do, it is just interesting how things have changed

9:27 am

I don't have kids, but I have been in cars with unruly kids, so I understand the mom's compulsion. To her credit, she did pull over and stop, rather than just punching the "eject" button.

9:27 am

I was never left anywhere on purpose, but I was forgotten

9:27 am

OMG... my grandmother lived downstairs so my mother would actually leave!!!

9:27 am

Well Flosey, we were old enough to know better honestly...

9:27 am

Oh no, kje! How old were you?

9:28 am

KJE... I am the oldest so never forgotten, but my youngest sister has some stories.

9:28 am

ah, we might have been preschool,

9:28 am

like 4th or 5th grade... they remembered about half way down the street (after church one night)... that is what happens when you have 7 kids - LOL

9:29 am

I distinctly remember forgetting my sister at a farm... then my father started counting when we were in the car...

9:29 am

And of course we all felt terrible because no one else noticed she was not there either.

9:29 am

honestly - wasn't all that traumatized... was scared at first when you realize you are left, and then you kind of figure they'll show up again - LOL

9:30 am

Poor little thing.

9:30 am

Never was forgotten by parents. Although, I probably would have thought it an adventure if I had been. "Just go to gramma's" was my motto.

9:30 am

In any case we will see what happens... they always say don't threaten your children if you are not going to follow through... props to her for following through... LOL!

9:31 am

She will probably get off if she agrees to counseling, which will probably be a good thing... I think she just came to the end of her rope.

9:31 am

my dad use to make my brother get out of the car and run the last few blocks home when he was too wound up - it was kind of a game

9:32 am

Honestly she must be kind of humiliated in the sense that the kids really, in the end, got the best of her.

9:32 am

granted... they never threatened to desert us

9:32 am

I think parents need to have more discipline but now a days it's almost considered child abuse....

9:32 am

Yes. I can't see them charging her with anything. I'm sure the kids were really scared when the cops got involved.

9:32 am

My daughter actually gets po'd when she cannot get the rise out of me that she is going for..

9:33 am

Judi... they charged her with child endangerment I believe.

9:33 am

I don't know, systems are crazy, I can see her being charged with child abuse... or at least having to deal with CPS

9:33 am

Probably won't go to trial or anything if they get counseling... she is a big-time corporate attorney.

9:33 am

Yes, I saw that mom2. I don't think the Judge will make it stick, though. Unless she has a habit of doing such things.

9:34 am

No, absolutely...and, hey, who couldn't benefit from a little free counseling???

9:34 am

she's an attorney????? interesting - wow, she really lost her cool

9:34 am

Well, my husband also said that while he understood her frustration he hoped that she was just someone who reached the end of her rope and that it was an isolated incident... that we don't come to find out that she is some kind of lunatic.

9:35 am

Yes KJE, which is why I think she ended up going home and reporting the kid "missing"... she knew her actions would be chargeable as child endangerment... of course she did not expect that the kid was in the PD in the next town already spilling her story!

9:35 am

Rotten kid!

9:36 am

then she dropped the kids a whole town away??? wow, that is scary

9:36 am

I am now more glad than ever for my parents.

9:38 am

yeah... but she lives in Spring Valley and dropped them in White Plains... not exactly the middle of nowhere and they should have been able to find their way home rather easily...

9:38 am

So now some guy sees this kid crying on the side of the road, the kid tells the story, and he takes her to the PD...

9:38 am

my parents would never have put us in or left us in danger.... I remember when I was a teenager and decided I was going to drive to houston (4.5 hours away) for a concert and the car broke down... they came and got me. a girlfriend had a similar incident just on the other side of dallas and also wasn't suppose to be there and her parents made her find her own way home - that is when I stopped wishing for other parents as a teenager... at least mine didn't punish me until I got home and was safe

9:39 am

Maybe she went back and looked for her and she wasn't on the road so she reported her missing.. I don't know.

9:39 am

Also, KJE my parents would have absolutely done the same thing in that situation... but that is a different situation.

9:40 am

I don't know that broad daylight in white plains is the same thing.

9:40 am

she dropped an 8 year old in another town! granted, she probably thought the 12 year old would stay with her, but OMG! an 8 year old cannot find her way home that far

9:41 am

I think she was 10... and my 10 year old could have found her way home in a heartbeat... actually my kid could have found her way home at 5 or 6... she used to play this game in the car where she would tell me where to turn to get home...

9:41 am

Can I get a clue for the te5/10, please?

9:42 am

Not defending her actions, just saying that things are not always what they seem or what is reported... we shall see.

9:42 am

OMG... gotta get back to the grid... I only found 2 words this whole time, LOL!

9:42 am

te5 - brief and curt

9:43 am

agreed mom2 - things are often not as they seeem

9:43 am

Ty. I'll take a fish slap to go with my fireworks!

9:44 am

good for you Judi...I got fireworks yesterday....it's always nice!

9:44 am

last word, help please? second de6/30

9:44 am

woohoo!!! and mackerel!

9:44 am

Time for more coffee and to update the checkbook. Stop me before I have too much fun!

9:44 am

And you always miss the obvious ones I have noticed!

9:44 am

de + sc4

9:44 am

thanks kj

9:44 am

yw

9:45 am

woohoo flosey!!!

9:45 am

I saw a quote about coffee the other day... I think it said something like coffee... gives you the ability to do stupid things faster and with less focus or something like that... it made me laugh.

9:45 am

Heyas kids

9:45 am

fireworks - and now I can enjoy my first coffee of the day

9:45 am

faster and with more focus - LOL

9:45 am

hi BGH

9:45 am

enjoy

9:46 am

yeah.. maybe that was it kje... more enthusiasam and more focus for the stupid things...

9:46 am

lol, Mom2. I have a postcard on my fridge that says: "Drink Coffee. Do stupid things faster with more energy." I also have another one that says, "Make yourself at home. Clean my kitchen."

9:47 am

I was looking for a nice wooden sign for my kitchen... I want the one that says Life just hasn't been the same since they dropped that house on my sister... couldn't find it, but found that one and another one I really liked which was, "I need minions"... LOL!

9:47 am

That is the quote Judi... and I like both of them!

9:47 am

when it comes to the things I must do but don't like I just put on some great music - nice and loud - military marches work for me

9:47 am

My mother used to clean to The Stray Cats... it was a sight to see!

9:48 am

I just got a cute sign that says "Wishes won't do dishes"... so I hung it over my sink... so far my daughter and my husband are still wishing and I'm still dishing, LOL!

9:49 am

lol. That reminds me of the scene in "Mrs. Doubtfire" where Mrs. D was vacuuming to the tune of "Dude Looks Like A Lady" by Aerosmith. Hysterical.

9:49 am

I use to clean to winton marssalis classical album

9:49 am

Yes... That's about the size of it Judi...

9:49 am

I also use Il Divo - but hubby doesn't like it so can only play when he's not in

9:50 am

I really like classical music, but don't know that I could clean to it, LOL!

9:50 am

classical trumpet - very rousing

9:50 am

flosey... heard of them but not familiar with them... listen, whatever gets you through the day!

9:50 am

Get an IPod, Flosey. That way you can tune into the music and tune out the hubby!

9:51 am

I love my IPOD Nano

9:51 am

lol, good idea Judi - then if he wan't my attention he has to be right in my face!

9:51 am

and smiling sweetly I might add

9:51 am

Be jealous, bichon - be very jealous. I have an ITouch. *sticks tongue out*

9:52 am

off to get that well deserved coffee - bfn

9:52 am

My daughter makes fun of my iPod... I have a relic.. I think it was the original (used to be my husbands until he got the super duper one).

9:52 am

Me too! *POOF*

9:52 am

ihave an iphone and an ipod... so there

9:52 am

I don't care.. it works.

9:53 am

Cool KJE!

9:53 am

I swear that thing will be able to drive your car soon!

9:53 am

they last forever mom2 - they never seem to die, and if they do, the genius bar tweeks it and poof it works again

9:53 am

I have a friend who has one of the 1st gen ones and everytime she thinks it has died it resurrects

9:54 am

Now, if it only had an application that would rid the average 13 year old of the snotty behavior!

9:54 am

Yes... I actually lost mine for a time... found it and thought it would never recharge... it did and nothing was lost, LOL!

9:54 am

love 'em thru it... heaping coals and all that

9:55 am

I think this one is a first generation.. it's not the nano.. I think it is 1 gig (???).

9:56 am

love apple - collest in every way

9:56 am

Oh, I know KJE... but it is like living with Sybil! My husband said she was fine last night... I was out at a tricky tray (and actually won a few things, thank you very much) so maybe it is my presence that makes her nutty!

9:56 am

wow, 1 gig - LOL... mine is 80

9:56 am

amazing what they can do these days... will never fill the thing

9:56 am

I want to get a laptop and my daughter is trying to convince us to get Apple.

9:57 am

ahhhhhhhhh, the luxury, have been up for an hour and first coffee!

9:57 am

80 gig??? Wow! I think my husband has the 40 gig

9:57 am

I just recently got my first ipod. It's a green nano! so pretty! and 16GB

9:57 am

I love my Mac - but depends on what apps you need to use

9:57 am

they are really great... i love the solitaire game on it... keeps me busy while waiting for things...

9:57 am

it'll take a bit of getting use to mom, I used my daughter's while in Vancouver couple weeks ago and really frustrated

9:57 am

that is cool mag - 16gb in something so small

9:58 am

I would like to upgrade to the touch because I hear that you can upload books to it... I used to do that on my Palm Pilot and liked it

9:58 am

and I feel frustrated on a PC - too many steps to do what my Mac does intuitively

9:58 am

Sorry to interrupt! May I have clues for those nasty F's?

9:58 am

i can't read on one of those - i like holding a book

9:58 am

ah, perhaps all in what you start out with

9:58 am

fy 4 and 5

9:59 am

My husband is fighting her on it... I don't really care. I just want to be able to have the versatility of a laptop... and I want my dining room back... my monitor is a dinosaur and the whole thing just takes up too much space!

9:59 am

TY KJE! Got 'em!

9:59 am

yw

9:59 am

My DH just got a Kindle 2...that thing is AMAZING!

10:00 am

You know I thought I would hate it, but I didn't.. and it has a backlight so no fumbling for the book light... I understand with the iTouch you can make the font bigger, which you can't with the Palm.. which is why I abandoned it, ultimately... don't want to wear my reading glasses in bed...

10:01 am

But the kindle is proprietery, no??? Meaning that you have to rent from their site??? with the palm you could go right through the local library website and the books would upload right to the palm (for free), which is how I understand the iTouch works

10:01 am

in the end, Macs are cheaper, b/c you get so much more for your money without having to do all the upgrades, and most repair is negligible, and you can always use the genius bar for free... unlike dell, etc

10:02 am

KJE... I have put my husband on the research... I keep hearing great things about the Mac laptops...so, we shall see...

10:02 am

It's the initial outlay of $$$ that scares him, LOL!

10:02 am

daughter switched and loves the mac

10:03 am

He really wants to go with the traditional computer on the table and I just don't want to do that again... I really don't have the room if I can avoid it.

10:03 am

All the kids love their macs

10:03 am

but compare the price of a similar machine... it is cheaper. that is what I did years ago, the PCs look cheaper b/c they are advertising really minimal machines... once you upgrade memory and graphics, etc... you end up costing more than a Mac

10:04 am

and laptops are awesome, no matter which kind... FREEDOM

10:04 am

we're looking for one, think I'll wait until I'm in Toronto and son can help me

10:04 am

Well I agree... but he has to come to that realization himself.... a little psychology on my part! But, yes, I agree that I want the freedom!

10:05 am

It's always good to get advice from one who knows flosey.

10:05 am

he understands them and also knows what his old mom is capable of understanding

10:05 am

I use my brother in law for that kind of thing... I just have to get him on the Apple bandwagon before my husband talks to him, LOL!

10:06 am

We bought my 85-year-old mother-in-law a Mac and she loves it!

10:06 am

ah, here's my daughter IM to me

10:06 am

bfn

10:06 am

12:12 pm

Hi JMC!

12:12 pm

12:16 pm

12:16 pm

You shouldn't have told them to "dive in!" I guess.

12:16 pm

Too funny Magyk!

12:17 pm

gr7/40 - as Jen said, "You're a gr7 for punishment."

12:17 pm

I guess Vi. They are loving it tho! Have to change them for the second time today!

12:17 pm

I didn't understand that clue earlier either *sigh*

12:17 pm

Is stidmere well stiddy? do send her my best.

12:17 pm

Okay, gr7 - rhymes with sheep meat

12:17 pm

Not glutton for punishment, but the word sounds the same.

12:18 pm

12:18 pm

Stid...use the GR instead of GL and change the last vowel.

12:18 pm

12:18 pm

12:19 pm

12:24 pm

12:24 pm

ty

12:25 pm

12:25 pm

nbt

hi all - trying to wrangle my last 7 without the list

12:25 pm

hi josh

12:26 pm

12:26 pm

I think stidmama said she got the list after nbt, Ata.

12:26 pm

It is the southern most area of NC. Coast runs east and west.

12:26 pm

Me too Joshua...down to 14 here.

12:26 pm

oh good. that makes me feel better!

12:26 pm

ahh, not OBX, then?

12:26 pm

11 for me...

i've been to the crystal coast

12:27 pm

No, it's not.

12:27 pm

Great place, Josh.

12:27 pm

My head is pounding though...may need to come back. I feel stuck.

12:28 pm

is it near OBX? im totally clueless of the geography down there. :)

it might look like it's close, but in actuality it's hours of driving

12:28 pm

guess that prevents a babble meet-up, then...heh

12:29 pm

Probaby.

12:29 pm

It's three hours from RDU.

12:30 pm

that means nothing to me...lol...other than OBX, i have no knowledge of the area...

12:32 pm

Well, stuck at 8. Time for a break. Bye for now, all.

12:32 pm

bye dear!

12:32 pm

tell me its 3 hours from Dirty Dicks Crabhouse, and then i know what youre talking about...hehe

1 left - 3 of the last 6 i've "found" were words i entered last night but must not have registered

and so was the last one - fireworks

i hate it when that happens. i could have finished last night

12:34 pm

yay josh

12:34 pm

hello, need help with 2nd de6/30 pls

12:35 pm

12:35 pm

ata -- kitty is looking mighty comfy in your icon today. :)

12:36 pm

isn't she just :D that basket is where she lounges around for most of the day

12:36 pm

thanks cheryl

12:37 pm

yw

12:38 pm

phone took picture of kitty but now wont send to email

12:38 pm

makes me want to scream

12:39 pm

im envious of her lifestyle. youre a darn good parent to the lounging kitty + the beach-dwelling Hobbit. ;)

12:39 pm

I try! I'd love to be her as well. Perfect life!

12:40 pm

Hobbit's had a wonderful week this week. The weather has been gorgeous, so we've spent esach morning down at the beach for a few hours

12:41 pm

my parents live on the waterfront now also...before their dog passed, she LOVED running along the shore. i wish i were closer to the beach!

12:42 pm

beaches are the best for dogs. every day I see people walking along the path at the top of the beach with their dog on a leash, and it's so sad. It takes 5 minutes to wash a dog off after its rolled around the beach!

12:44 pm

ST7/28, please?

12:44 pm

our dog , Domino, never even rolled. in fact, she was kind of afraid of the water. but she loved walking along the sand + poking around the shells, stones + whatever else she could find... and i loved walking her there whenever i visited because i would just browse around for seaglass...

12:45 pm

exactly ... there's just so much for a dog to love on the beach. sniffs, smells, rockpools, crabs, sea ...

12:46 pm

we are headed down there this weekend. my brother will bring his dog, but shes too much of a powerhouse for me -- pitbull rottie mix. sweet dog, but huge + too energetic!

12:46 pm

eeep yes!

12:49 pm

we met a newfie on the beach yesterday. hobbit was quite amazed that a dog could be so big

12:50 pm

i saw, i think it was a great dane? whatever it was, it was by FAR the largest dog i have ever seen. on all fours, its back was almost as high as my shoulders. i thought it was a small horse!

12:50 pm

sounds like a great dane! they are HUGE

12:51 pm

i knew they were big, but i guess i never actually saw one. WOW.

12:51 pm

yeah .... they are quite a sight

12:52 pm

just popping in- a friend of mine had a great dane when we were little and her dad would hold us up over his back like we were pretending to ride him and it was like being on a pony

12:53 pm

he was enormous and for some odd reason I remember that his name was Frederick

12:53 pm

which is bigger - great dane or one of the huge huge mastiffs?

12:54 pm

not sure Ata, those mastiffs are BIG dogs

12:54 pm

i cant imagien another dog being larger than the one i saw! good gracious!

12:54 pm

I once came across 3 of them in a pack - the only time I've ever felt a little bit scared of dogs

12:54 pm

Irish Wolfhounds can be bigger than great danes.

12:55 pm

I will stick with my shepherd/collie mix. She's my love.

12:55 pm

My border collie is my best boy ever.

12:55 pm

same here, ata -- im not the least bit afraid of dogs, but when i saw that one, i backed away slowly...lol

12:55 pm

I've seen the Irish Wolfhounds on the dog shows on TV and figured they were quite large.

12:56 pm

eva: http://tinyurl.com/cufzny

12:56 pm

wolfhounds are quite big. scottish deerhounds are bigger

12:56 pm

My Blossom is a rescue dog and she is, literally, the best dog I have ever had. I wish I wasn't landlocked. She would love a good ball game on the beach :-)

12:57 pm

awwwwww

12:57 pm

st7=st4 past tense

12:57 pm

I got my Quid as a rescue dog, too.

12:58 pm

Gail- I thin sometimes rescue dogs are just more appreciative because they sense that things might not have worked out too well for them otherwise :-)

12:59 pm

The best thing about her though is that she guards my kids like they were her children. She spends the whole night patrolling back and forth between their bedrooms.

1:00 pm

Quid is just the happiest thing ever. He wakes up happy and goes to sleep happy. (Keeps me happy, too.)

that's awesome Gail~!

1:02 pm

awwwwwww

1:03 pm

evening everyone

I'm stuck at 43. I think I'll do a bit of laundry and bbl

1:17 pm

*on the

1:17 pm

widow

1:17 pm

1:17 pm

1:17 pm

typos abound!

1:17 pm

ANd after that I give up.

1:17 pm

i've a tiny pup on my lap!

1:18 pm

It was good enough Vi! Got it and FIREWORKS!

1:18 pm

1:24 pm

1:28 pm

this is not boding well for the long work-night i have coming ahead. my coworker just asked me to verify an email, which is something i do very regularly for her, and i completely could NOT find the folder that the email was in. even though it was in the exact same place it is always in. *shakes head*

1:29 pm

did you see the link I left for you, Eva? Of the mastiff?

1:29 pm

ooh, i didnt. got sidetracked by a coworker...

1:30 pm

Taking a break, taking a break, taking a break from my can. lit. studies.

1:30 pm

1:31 pm

Knocking out this grid so I can return to studies. Final exam is in...3.5 hours.

1:32 pm

final? wonderful!!!

1:32 pm

It's true. More wonderful is the fact that my French exam took half as long as anticipated. I am so ready for a nap!

1:33 pm

nap on your book. learn by osmosis.

1:33 pm

lol good idea

1:33 pm

If only!

1:33 pm

You should nap on that lost e-mail, we could all learn this way!

1:34 pm

i did it OFTEN back in college. and i still managed to finish in 4 years. :)

1:34 pm

of course, i was an english major, so much of my work was just making stuff up. ;)

1:35 pm

so's uni :P

1:35 pm

gr7 please?

1:35 pm

*Is an english major. Finishing third year. Too much practical stuff for my liking this set of exams.

1:35 pm

well, there ya go! i like to say i received my BA in BS. :)

1:36 pm

:) CanLit isn't that hard, it is just frustrating to wait for essay exams. Hard to prepare for.

1:37 pm

And I already wrote an exam today. I am tired.

1:37 pm

yes, its tough to prepare for an exam where you just hafta write an essay on an unknown question. just make sure you know your dates + general government/political/social stuff.

1:37 pm

I got mine in scientific BS

1:37 pm

(and yes, "stuff" is a technical term.)

1:38 pm

Yours came with a title though :)

1:39 pm

yeah BSc in BS :P PhD was after that

1:40 pm

Ahh, that was not in stuff then

1:41 pm

the BF is hoping to go back soon for his PhD... guess that means i should get off my arse + get my masters...

1:41 pm

HAH! Just got the et5/6. French for study/studies. Perfect for my day.

1:41 pm

one of my finals questions was "discuss reproduction in barnacles" 3 hour essay.

1:42 pm

think of what a joy that was to grade, ata

1:42 pm

Do we even know how barnacles reproduce?? You should have written a theoretical on the colossal squid.

1:42 pm

hah, thanks uni -- i didnt have those yet, and was figuring with those letter combos that there would be some francais in there!

1:43 pm

oh I know full well, harry!

1:45 pm

4 left...seem to be stuck

1:46 pm

clue please for the first de6?

1:49 pm

1:49 pm

yay uni

1:49 pm

1:50 pm

1:54 pm

Help! My work blocks Lickety's list. Any help with the G's and the H's?

1:54 pm

brb

1:54 pm

Look in the grid of tiles on the left and search out words that are four or more letters, made of connecting (but not repeated) tiles. Similar to boggle. Further helpis available from Angelsongs babble page (found below the grid) and the help icon above chat.

1:54 pm

Shan -- words must be at least 4 letters long, tiles must be touching, and you can use each tile only once per word.

1:55 pm

Kitty, that's gr***ome (and singular). The gr 7 is clued just below.

1:55 pm

Then find the song from church and it's past tense.

1:55 pm

Thanks, Uni!

1:55 pm

Man, cluing is more fun than more studying. If only I were paid per clue!

1:58 pm

uni -- ive always had the theory that if they either (1) taught class like pop-up video or (2) set the lessons to catchy music, id know EVERYTHING

1:59 pm

I took a class on the history of rock and roll last year. Now that was some useless but lovely knowledge!

2:00 pm

how fun!

2:00 pm

i took a class called "The Rhetoric of Humor"

2:01 pm

I took a class called ... um, actually you probably don't want to know. They were all fishy.

2:01 pm

Oh my! Eva, your niece and nephews (I think that's what they are?) are so big! I always forget that time actually passes in babble land too.

2:01 pm

ty for the gr7..finally got it!

2:02 pm

2:32 pm

3:58 pm

crudite is not in the grid

3:58 pm

is it crudite

3:59 pm

so I can't spell is the answer -- no news there! lol

3:59 pm

unless you mean a female crud

3:59 pm

it's not in the dictionary either lol

3:59 pm

lol dinok

3:59 pm

so even if it was there you still couldn't have it

3:59 pm

my spelling is on a couple of cooking webpages

4:00 pm

(ps dinok pb)

4:00 pm

its the Texas accent spelling

4:01 pm

Maybe because it is a french word, one that isn't allowed

4:02 pm

oops :/ .didnt think that was a word. cyall when I get out of the pb...

4:02 pm

don't eat all the cookies

4:03 pm

im on a diet so i'll stick to the crudettes

4:03 pm

lynxx you got to be kidding there are french words on this grid and all grids

4:03 pm

I suffer all the time because of the french!

4:04 pm

this is different though. this is non-enable french

4:04 pm

actually the correct spelling is crudites

4:04 pm

lol ata

4:05 pm

when I go to restaurants in DC the server will frequently "correct" my pronunciation of crudites

4:05 pm

how rude of them!

4:05 pm

uh ata

4:06 pm

ata pb!

4:06 pm

and lynxxx wins the prize for getting a word not in the grid but which enable recognises

4:06 pm

And Ata lands in the PB ..

4:06 pm

do you tell them where to put their correction?

4:07 pm

we went for a meal last night and as we went up to pay the manager laughed and said if we had a voucher we would have saved a fortune.

4:07 pm

I just tell them that my pronunciation is correct in many parts of the country and that when I am not pissed off I am a good tipper

4:07 pm

Let's just say we would rather starve than eat there again

4:07 pm

don't care! it *is* ru4 of them!

4:07 pm

did she tell you whre to find the voucher at least?

4:07 pm

May I please have a clue for the ed's, either of them? Thanks

4:07 pm

Did you leave a tip? like don't bother to correct customers pronunciation if you want one

4:07 pm

I agree ata is it

4:08 pm

no just laughed!

4:08 pm

lol lynx

4:08 pm

I'm only starting and the eds are not done yet. Hello to all however you pronounce words.

4:08 pm

Hi there, jmcnrick.

4:10 pm

7:43 pm

ty jm

7:43 pm

ty jm

7:43 pm

oh it was a laugh a minute. if the building were higher i would have considered leaping off. only high enough to cause injury LOL

de6,33?

7:44 pm

glad to hear that...I guess! :)

7:44 pm

de 6/33 de+ indian cusine minus a double letter

7:44 pm

we have a height limit on the buildings in this town - guess it is for a reason. LOL

7:45 pm

sounds like they might have thought about the leaping when they did that!

7:46 pm

actually we are a histoical town so they try really hard to keep things authentic and old

7:47 pm

ah! we only have on building here that's taller than 5 or 6 stories also...and i'm glad for it!

7:47 pm

we are limited to 3 stories

7:48 pm

nice! where in Mass are you?

7:48 pm

plymouth - land of the pilgrims and thanksgiving dinner

7:49 pm

ah...hence the historic...:)

7:49 pm

hi angela

7:49 pm

yup old and simple here

7:49 pm

hi jmc

7:50 pm

something to be said for that...

7:50 pm

height limit here in DC nothing taller than the washington monument

7:50 pm

i thouhgt that it was nothing taller than the statue of justice - at least that is what they told us once on a tour there

7:51 pm

brb

7:51 pm

i love dc, are you right in the city?

7:51 pm

the rule is nothing taller than capital dome (except washington monument)

7:51 pm

my nephew was just in DC for his class trip

7:51 pm

see ya pay for a tour and they lie to ya

7:52 pm

as a practical matter, that means nothing over 12 stories inside the city

7:52 pm

i would like to go back again it is so much fun

7:52 pm

we are all wrong the law was amended to The Act was amended in 1910 to restrict building height to the width of the adjacent street plus 20 feet

7:53 pm

??? strange law...

7:53 pm

though that's from ground level - the National cathedral is up on a high hill, and it's tower is further above sea level than the capital dome

7:53 pm

width of the street + 20 feet .... hmmmm is that in case it topples over+

7:54 pm

I think it is to keep things in proportion

7:54 pm

you can really tell where Maryland begins because the buildings shoot up

7:54 pm

gr7?

7:54 pm

like my idea better avoids a mess shoudl something happen timber.....

7:54 pm

lol knit

7:55 pm

now to figure out which side of the street to be on should there be a timberrrrr situation....hmmmm...

7:55 pm

ne4 one last cr word

7:55 pm

DC is the most disproporttionate place i have ever been. objects are much further apart than they appear just asked my kids when i tried to make them walk between places that looked so close

7:56 pm

gr 7= gr + ut 5 with different last consonant

7:56 pm

st7/28 is like the st7/32 but add a hook letter in the third place and take away the last consonant Magyk.

9:32 pm

re 6/21 is re plus cross letter plus *** Kennedy alison.

9:32 pm

Not computer savvy enough to be able to fix photos.

9:33 pm
