How many words do you have so far, Jilli?

1:37 am

1:38 am

Well, as usual you're doing better than me! :/ I only have 147, so far. :P

1:38 am

Yes, same here . . .

1:38 am

but I'm about to crash

1:38 am

I got half-way then had to go to the list . . .

1:39 am

I allow myself to go to the list when I get nbt

1:39 am

thanks for the icon clue jilli, didn't know there was so many ways to spell the word, mind you they may different meanings.

1:39 am

I see . . . well, I hardly ever have that, without the list, which shows you're much better than me! :/

1:40 am

Yes, MayneGuy - I suspect they do have different meanings. Never looked them up, yet . . .

1:40 am

yw, MGuy -- the ?s say they are the same meaning

1:41 am

and there's also the roof of the mouth, which isn't here

1:41 am

Oh yes, of course Jilli . . .

1:42 am

Wasn't even thinking of that - but I am fairly certain that is spelt differently again, isn't it?

1:42 am

With 'ala' in it . . .

1:43 am

yes, quite different. JC, you do know you can get meanings (if there are any) by clicking on the ? beside the owrd?

1:43 am

the word

1:44 am

yes, "ala"

1:44 am

Oh? No, I didn't know that . . .

1:45 am

Oh yes - I see that now! :) Very good - thanks, Jilli! :)

1:45 am

quite welcome, JC :)

1:46 am

1:48 am

1:50 am

Hi Kangabrat . . .

1:51 am

hi jc : )

1:51 am

I was doing the grid while we had ours, rolin - isn't that bad? :P

1:51 am

Laptop on the table . . .

1:52 am

only bad if you get breakfast in your keyboard, jc.

1:53 am

lol..nah j.c.....ive done that before...i bought a little notebook not so long ago..tiny enough to sit on the side of where im eating...sad...but true

1:54 am

HAHAHA, true Kanga - and so far, that hasn't happened. I'm very careful . . .

1:54 am

That's when you know you're a true addict, rolin . . .

1:54 am

As I am with all word games and puzzles!

1:55 am

as addictions go, jc....

1:55 am

Yes . . .

1:55 am

oh me too... a couple of years ago we went to instanbul..and i popped up from there to play babble..some ppl couldnt understand why i would bable while on hols..

1:55 am

There are much worse addictions one could have, though!

1:56 am

many, many worse! as i keep telling the other half...

1:56 am

but to me...hols are about relaxing as well as 'doing'...and spending all morning and half the afternoon doing..should be followed with a little sit at the keyboard babbling

1:56 am

Why not, rolin? It's easily done, with laptops . . .

1:56 am

Hotels all having internet service now, for guests.

1:56 am

I get online when I'm on the road.

1:57 am

oooho and t-mobile called me last week saying they can give me a 3g stick for everywhere connection ...for £10 a month

1:57 am

Yes indeed, rolin! ;)

1:57 am

im trying very hard to resist....

1:57 am

Ooh very good, rolin - take them up on that!

1:58 am

No, resistance is futile - you will be assimilated! ;)

3:11 am

there is 2x sn tiles in this grid

3:12 am

sn + don't t*** this secret. 7 is comparative

rolin, some of the SNs come from the upper right S. That's what you're not seeing.

3:12 am

oooohh..im working from the wrong s...ty sprite

3:12 am

lol I thought that might be the problem

3:13 am

NBT

3:32 am

delightful babbling

3:35 am

guess I am overdue, lyn... still 54 to go. Can I stay and play a little longer please?

3:36 am

I was astonished when I came back from the kitchen. Just this once Sprite

3:36 am

thank you so much, lyn!

3:38 am

Brando's famous cry is here

opps i feel asleep

3:38 am

lol lady... told you it was time for a na*. Good girl.

3:39 am

ok, lyn, am going to try and find out what you mean :)

3:39 am

yay, got it. Google is a good friend. Thanks for the clue.

3:40 am

My goodness, the things Google will find for you. It is amazing isn't it

I just kind of drifted

3:41 am

a streetcar named desire

3:41 am

hi BabRab

thanks bab

3:41 am

oh yes it is. "brando famous cry" gave me a whole series of hits, didn't even have to open a link. How did we manage before google? ;)

3:42 am

hello, lyn

3:42 am

in ignorant bliss, at least for me

3:42 am

hello herin

OH my goodness i didn't see that at all

3:44 am

hehehe, indeed BabbleRabble. Still, school would have been easier for me when I could have googled. My kids cannot imagine life without it, but I remember well the long long afternoons in the library, trying not to get distracted, finding all necessary info!

I still love my books

3:47 am

I love reading. But I like having immediate access to practical info.

3:47 am

Good morning/evening all. Thank you for the clue, lynxxx and yes, google helped. I was trying to find 'I could have been a contender' and failing.

3:47 am

hi Haz

3:48 am

good morning Haz

3:48 am

I agree, sprite, but we're still reading when we're accessing google. It just doesn't feel as worthy or something.

3:48 am

Hello lynxxx

Sometimes i forget the internet and go the book but i love google books for my essays. Hi Haz

3:49 am

should have said 'love reading books'.

3:49 am

Hello herin.

3:51 am

Lots of Jackson Pollock words today.

3:51 am

am enjoying this grid so very much

3:52 am

"please explain"

3:52 am

It's very nice.

3:52 am

my icon is a clue for those, lyn

Is that an Sp?

3:52 am

Yes, sp words with nice variations.

3:53 am

oh, lol. I thought Jackson Pollock might have been rhyming slang

thanks I didn't think of that just the long version

3:54 am

*unpoof* just changed my icon to a clue. Sprite I am trying! *poof*

3:54 am

you rock, dinok! :)

3:54 am

hi/bye Dinok

3:56 am

Bye dinok.

3:56 am

the pa7/8 could be Jackson Pollock also - although I doubt he used one

3:57 am

*wonders if the meaning of the 8/9 is the same*

3:57 am

or the pa8/9 too lynxxx

3:57 am

hi FM!

3:57 am

Good morning FM.

3:57 am

Evening lynxxx :)

3:58 am

TY for the tip

3:58 am

nope, the 8/9 is armor

wow I just got an 8 by monkeys

3:58 am

Oh Morning Haz, sorry didn't see you there am still zooming though the first run through, excellent grid today.

3:58 am

He probably wore the armour for protecting himself from too much sp8

3:59 am

I reckon Jackson could clue lots of words today.

3:59 am

reasonable assumption

3:59 am

same vowelless word as yesterday, guess people didn't listen

3:59 am

Does anybody know if he was particularly pa4/5?

Sorry I don't think of that Sp 8 a paint thing rather than the thing that happens after i beat my classmates heads together

4:00 am

I have 8 variant sp of that p word!

4:00 am

he may have been the most pa4/5 of all, Haz

4:01 am

Starts feverishly counting.

4:02 am

hey all

4:02 am

hi bfsog

hi Bfs

4:02 am

8 variations rounded up.

4:02 am

morning bf

4:02 am

Good morning bf.

4:02 am

hi bfsog

8 varients of the Sp 8 and its friends?

4:03 am

too many P & S's, think I'll leave them for last

4:03 am

yes lady, different meanings, some, but very close spellings

4:03 am

No, 8 variations of the pa word, as used by artists and forklift truck drivers.

wow

4:05 am

fireworks, thanks to lyn

4:05 am

Congratulations sprite!

4:05 am

congrats sprite!

4:05 am

Congrats Sprite!

4:05 am

truly and thoroughly enjoyable grid today. May I be of assistance to any of you before I go?

Loves Sprite. I am just grateful to see you Sprite

4:06 am

I'm okay, thanks.

4:06 am

I am sure Terra is waiting for a play, we can't hld you up. Have a lovely day Sprite

4:06 am

Not for me thanks, am still finding words.

4:07 am

thanks all :) Enjoy and thanks for the nice company.

4:07 am

Bye sprite.

OH how is terra puppyu

4:13 am

Ha ha found the volcano!

4:14 am

No god of love, you can't be greedy.

4:15 am

lol, I am happy enough with the fact one of my first words was the ps7!

nice one

4:16 am

You can be smug all day with that.

4:17 am

*grin*

4:17 am

Did it set you singing?

4:18 am

not quite but I was taken back to school days and the choir ;)

hi Josh

4:18 am

I could say something about tunics and dancing, but I won't.

hi herin

4:19 am

*kicks Haz discreetly*

4:19 am

Discreet 'ouch'.

hehe

4:23 am

Well 30 left after 1st run though, very nice grid but I must tear myself away as I have things that must be done. Happy Babbling!

4:24 am

Have a good day, FM. See you later.

4:24 am

4:24 am

For sure :) TTFN

4:28 am

Sleep well, josh.

4:35 am

Taking quick break, back shortly.

5:40 am

Whee! 'Nuther biger-ish grid. g'd mornin'

5:40 am

5:41 am

Good. I see, because I cleared up that 'o' like easy peasy! :p

5:42 am

Ooh, and the l. Clearly I have semi genius potential.

5:42 am

you are leaving Densa?!

5:43 am

Love the icon, Lori. Just passing through on my way to undertake some death-defying tasks upstairs.

Hi again

5:43 am

Heavens no Lynx! DENSA if my forté, as founder i have responsitilities. :)

5:44 am

G'd morning Haz, I thought you might like it. :D

5:44 am

I'm cooking (!!!!) BBL

5:44 am

Oh I do. it makes me feel all proud for daring to take the risk.

5:45 am

Death defying? Can't find any small children to dangle out the windows to clean them properly?

5:45 am

See ya' in a bit Lynx.

5:45 am

Too early, no coffee, I'm clueless. The first an 4,4 please

HI Merk

5:46 am

No, Health and Safety are on my case, darn neighbours have no sense of loyalty, they can't see the character building potential of children abseiling.

5:46 am

G'd morning Merk, no idea I just started.

5:46 am

Hi, I just turned the other way and got it.

5:46 am

How is everyone this morning? So far I love the grid.

5:46 am

Haz, so typical. Too soft nowadays.

5:47 am

Life's good Merk, you too I hope.

5:47 am

Yes, indeed. I get to see my grandchildren today.

ready to go into my bed.

5:47 am

Much too soft. So, I just have to get on with it myself. Wearing a crash helmet is murder on the hair style, unfortunately.

5:48 am

Oooh, yea! Enjoy!

Use a squeezy mop haz

5:48 am

I'll say goodnight to you, herin, good morning to Grandma Merk and see you later to Lori.

5:48 am

I will ... and next week I start babysitting one for ten days. I might not get here as much.

5:48 am

That's sad Haz. As an aside Gmail is irritating this morn.

5:49 am

I have a new tile floor. How does one go about cleaning/washing it safely. I'm not worried about the bathrooms, but the kitchen ...

5:49 am

Happy house .... whatever that word is. :D Laters

5:50 am

Oh, is someone besides me having trouble with their gmail? I'm relieved to hear that it is not just me.

5:50 am

Bye for now.

5:51 am

hi and bye hazel

5:52 am

Hi carlee. Yes Merk, gmail is a useless entity here this morn, neither sneding nor receiving. You too?

5:52 am

I'll check again in a bit, see if it's behaving

5:52 am

hmmmm..no idea re: g.mail..have yet to check....

Hi Carlee

5:53 am

Oh oh oh! They fixed their glitch I guess. For now it's working at least.

Merk what sort of floor tiles?

6:00 am

6:49 am

hey guys

HI Ish

6:49 am

down to last 51, but struggling now

6:49 am

morning ish!

6:52 am

Good morning kids! I am getting ready for weekend trip. I will miss Babble and my buddies.

6:52 am

oh herin, did I tell you? tertiare asked if she could get her ears pierced last week. so we got them done. then next day, secondo decided she wanted hers done. Primo watches her having it done, and then says "well, we might as well do mine too, while we are at it!" All three kids, in 24 hours. Six little ear holes!!! Tertiare is beyond thrilled, as she was the trail blazer. First time she has done something first.

6:53 am

in theese troubled h1n1 times,there is nothing finer than celebrating all that is bacon!:) wtg trif!:)

YEs you did

6:53 am

and we will miss YOU scrabbler! love to see that little green bunny of yours

6:53 am

Big week, Trif! 3 daughters?

HI Scrabbler

6:53 am

whoops, sorry then! hate to be boring.

6:53 am

NO Scrabbler - Primo is a boy! :) :) :)

6:53 am

My uncle has been diagnosed with metastatic cancer so it is time for a visit.

6:54 am

how is he doing scrabbs? what stage?

6:54 am

ugh. sorry to hear that news! is he an older man? How is he doing with the news?

6:54 am

I thought so, Trif. Just wanted to verify when you wrote about the ears.

6:55 am

I told him ears were fine, but he couldn't pierce anything he wouldn't show me.

6:55 am

86. Neuroendocrine tumor. Lungs, liver, bones. He is comfortable. I have 2 pairs of aunts-uncles, all late 80's.

6:56 am

is he going for treatment, or just hospice?

6:56 am

told my boy he can do anything he wants with his hair,but no tattos or body shrapnel till he is on his own

lol trifs. Sorry to hear that Scrabbler

6:56 am

sorry to hear that scrabbs.so it is pallative only then

6:57 am

They are inspiring folks, enjoying life and still living at home. They are my mother's bro + sis and their spouses. The Italian side of the family. My mother's parents immigrated from Italy almost 100 yrs ago.

6:57 am

Some radiation to shrink large tumor pressing on kidney, otherwise palliative care.

6:57 am

I told primo he can't look like he fell in a tackle box. HATE that

6:57 am

LOL, Trif--tackle box.

6:57 am

does he seem okay with the news, scrabbler?

6:58 am

I mean, no one is excited, of course, but somehow you make it sound like he has come to peace with it

6:58 am

Some anger--wants to be home but is too weak and my aunt (89) cannot take care of him by herself. He is in a Masonic Home for now.

6:59 am

is it near your aunt, so she can visit him when she wants?

6:59 am

I will find out this weekend how he is coping. Yes, not far from home.

6:59 am

blessings to you all, scrabbler....such a sad thing.

7:00 am

And their daughter, my cousin, lives in town too.

7:01 am

OK, I must shower for tennis. I will leave this afternoon with another cousin and 1 of my sisters may be able to join us too. I will return Sunday evening. Say hello to Babblers for me. I will miss you all this weekend. Happy Mother's Day to all!

7:01 am

you know, aknitter lost her brother to cancer, and she has a very different view on things, that I find really inspirational. She has worked as an oncology nurse for years, also. She thinks in a way, people who know death is coming have an advantage over those that don't. They get to say their good byes, make any amends they deem necessary, etc. I see her point, but it is still sad, death

7:01 am

bye scrabbs!

7:01 am

tc scabbs and kiss those bunnies for me;0

7:20 am

secondo and I are both really very fair, so we were stringent with sun screen, but got distracted snorkeling one day, and didn't realize we had been in the water for over an hour. snorkeling is so dangerous that way - you *think* you are okay, because you are in the water, but really you are just floating along, back out of the water, and sizzle.

erk sunburn

7:21 am

yes that reminds me,layest post cancer tests.dr has found 2 cancerous moles on my stomach....ALWAYS WEAR SUNSCREEN!

7:21 am

oh no crossy! are you having them removed?

7:21 am

plus the water droplets acts as a magnifying glass..should be very carefull...did you not use a waterproof one then trif

7:21 am

removing theese will be a cake walk though..im a old pro at this now;))

7:22 am

guess not, zoo.

7:22 am

tut tut

7:22 am

cancer #4..guess im going for a record;)

7:22 am

are they contained to just the skin???

7:22 am

i think they will have to dig a tiny bit triff

7:23 am

not the record you were going for huh, crossy. I am so sorry.

7:23 am

but caught in good time

Thinks crossy is going to be a pin cushion again poor love

7:23 am

thank goodness

7:23 am

the every 3 month post cancer tests are worth thier weight in gold

7:23 am

no herin..no chemo or anything just dig them out and im done:0

7:24 am

surely they will go to the lab for testing though?

7:24 am

ill have to change my bio in babble again;)

I mean pin cushion as hospital again. i tend to not venture out in daylight

7:24 am

indeed trif,they will biopsy both

7:24 am

crossy, what do you think of alternative therapies, like that essaic tea and such?

7:25 am

ive seen many,many cancer patients and any that have tried homopathic alternatives have had to go back to standard medical treatments..without exception

7:26 am

hello.....

Hey trifs you know how I was taling about that girl before on FB?

7:26 am

it's interesting to me to hear you say that, because here in the us we are always getting news of alternative treatments coming down from canada, and many us patients have run away to jump to canada for treatments we can't get here.

7:26 am

you can cut it out,you can radiate it out or you can chemo it out..there are no easy fixes

7:26 am

yes, herin.

7:27 am

now,there are new types of chemo coming....

7:28 am

yes, I think the japanese doctors are working on those wafer things still, aren't they? a sort of targeted approach

7:28 am

indeed trif

I take great comfort in the fact that she doesn't know off Sylvia Plath is

Hi Scub

7:28 am

lol herin!!!!

opps Sood

7:28 am

but no herbal tea will get rid of a pair of 5cm cancerous masses in yer gut im sorry

7:28 am

Just call me bum!!

7:29 am

I agree, cross. come from a medical family, so I always sort of go that direction anyway

7:29 am

dake

7:29 am

which reminds me, I am way over due for a mammo

7:29 am

whoops - TMI????

7:29 am

early diagnosis,fast treatments and followup,follow up and follow up..thats the fix

Seriously what are they teaching people

7:30 am

lol not to worry trif,ive heard it all

7:31 am

lol herin - I always used to tease my grammy about that, when I would go visit her in the nursing home. Every other week they would have poetry readings, and I would always tell her the featured poets were sappho, anne sexton, and sylvia plath. Geesh, could you IMAGINE???

7:31 am

Hi folks. Ireland calling. Nice to meet you all!!

7:31 am

salt

Didn't Sylvia give her child milk and cookies then kill her self?

Hi Soo

7:31 am

Sylvia Plath is very largely untaught, even in university. I read her of my own volition and kind of regretted it. Much as I love a good book about mental illness, but the Bell Jar was not that good IMO.

7:32 am

are you in ireland soodle?

7:32 am

Sappho is very fun though! I <3 Simone de Beauvoir.

7:32 am

Clearly I'm new here - hence the babble words in my chatterbox. Sorry. Yes - Ireland Trif!

7:32 am

uni, you should read carrie fisher's book. I swear I got manic by association just reading it!

7:32 am

what part, soodle?

7:33 am

Co Meath - about 40 minutes from Dublin.

Love Lowell and Rich myself.

7:33 am

know it well. married to a dubliner for 18 years.

Hi Babble buds!

7:33 am

morning beach2

7:33 am

beach! even

7:34 am

Wow! So you've suffered the horrors of Irish weather, Irish men, and Irish Mammies!!!

Hi Beach

7:34 am

yes, the irish mammy was a bit of a shock, first time out. but we love each other now.

OH I had a teacher that refused to teach me Adrienne Rich because she is a Lesbian

7:35 am

what part of Dublin does Mr Trifioso hail from?

7:35 am

and irish weather wasn't too much of a shock - from boston. do you go to overheardindublin.com?

7:35 am

terenure

7:35 am

Ah. a southsider. very posh! lol

7:35 am

prozzie, very west brit.

7:35 am

MM, one flew over the cuckoo's nest. That was a fictional one i liked about mental ilness. Usually I prefer autobiographies. Adrienne Rich..spent 1/4 of the year on her last year, not very impressed except a few select pieces.

7:36 am

his brother married a gal from cavan and they moved up there. poor guy - I think he is still adjusting

7:36 am

Phantom: gospel. Ack.

7:36 am

Talking about books about mental illness, has anyone read ''The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time''?

7:36 am

oooh good one uni!

7:36 am

oooh good one uni!

7:37 am

I love overheardindublin!

7:37 am

yes, MM I did. I liked it quite a lot.

7:37 am

But I honestly don't think of autism as a mental illness

7:37 am

I liked it 'cos it helped me to understand my Asperger's a bit more

7:38 am

that is what I liked about it too, the chance to see inside a mind not usually known

7:38 am

I've never read Mark Haddon, which is a feat. I keep wanting to, but I sell all of our copies.

I loved Aunt Jennifers Tigers and Lowells Skunk hour. There is a few awesome poems also by her. I love Dorothy Porter who sadly died last year

7:38 am

it's what I like about most books, actually - you get to journey into someone else's head

HI MM

7:38 am

The DSM-IV does :) At least the DSM has gotten over homosexuality.

7:39 am

could spend all day in bill bryson's head, or david rakoff's for that matter....

7:39 am

Anyone read Tish Cohen? Much more current author, I read Townhouse and Inside-Out Girl. Both fantastic...

7:40 am

writing it down, uni

DSM -iv?

7:40 am

speaking of books.my wifes electronic e-book reader update.i now have 1000 books installed on it for her as well as 200 of her fav songs and a few finance related files,plus a bunch of scanned family picture(alas only b+w of course) but a amazing machine indeed!

7:41 am

is it a kindle, crossy?

7:41 am

I dunno what the Australian one is called. The DSM-IV is the North American 'bible' of mental illness diagnosis. There is a different one for most regions.

7:42 am

yes, because the things that southerns do would be considered insane here in the north, and vice versa!!!

7:42 am

**Is saddened by e-books. Aside from eye strain and pain reading them on wee devices, it's yet another move to close out independant (and even larger scale) book stores.

7:43 am

no trif as i live outside of the grand U.S of A,the kindle is useless,so i got her the sony model 700 touch screen reader

7:43 am

Trif, a shining example of the stupidity ofuniversalizing something as intricate and individual as "mental illness" is that homosexulaity was onoly removed in the DSM-IV (a few decades ago)

7:44 am

I am just not sure an electronic reader is for me. I underline when I read, go back pages, etc.

7:44 am

ebooks are also crippled by ugly drm locks which means you don't own the text you merely own a license for it, you can't share it or sell it as a used item.

7:44 am

uni..i got her the reader BECAUSE of her bad eyes,this one is full soft cover page size with many font sizes and side lighting

7:44 am

trif,you can underline electronically

7:44 am

that is pretty sad, uni. is it still illegal in england?

7:45 am

really crossy? should not be so close minded then...

7:45 am

cant speak for UK, but its legal in ireland!

7:45 am

there are ways around that bonkler..i could send you 100 books right now via msn for free;))

7:45 am

thanks for the update there soodle! lol

Hi Bonkler. I will cry the day google books gets the boot

7:46 am

That's definitely not enough to make me appreciate e-readers. It hurts publishers, authors and book sellers..the only making a profit is the person who distributes the device and it's updates. Much as I hate them, our boss tried to be the first in our area to provide access to them and she weasn't allowed because SOny didn't want to share.

7:46 am

but it does save a lot of trees, doesn't it? do the electronic versions have pictures, if the book does?

7:46 am

Does no-one see the problem in being able to have 100 books for free other than me? It'd be great for literature to be free...but that is destroying most of the book business!

7:46 am

you have to be cautious with that stuff crossy. i know of folks opn the kindle that have had their accounts locked down and all of the money they've spent has gone poof because of the suspicion of eula crimes.

I love that Cross has the books on Ebook. Its great. I love google books for text sitations

7:46 am

if there are pictures in the book,it will be rendered in b+w in some cases trif

7:46 am

I hope the world is big enough for electronic book and regular ones. For those with diminishing eye sight, the ability to enlarge the font is crucial

7:47 am

Libraries have lots of books for free, uni....

7:47 am

bonkler,i dont use the kindle as it is u.s proprietary

7:47 am

And libraries are being closed down left and right because people theoretically don't utilize them as much anymore..

7:47 am

as my wife cannot see regular books,this is my alternative

crossy- I'm so glad we have the technology to allow people with diminishing vision like your wife to be able to enjooy books

7:48 am

actually, I read an interesting article the other day that said as the economy worsens, library use goes way up.

7:48 am

indeed trif..as we speak we have a new 12 million dollar libray going up on town;))

7:49 am

I use my library a lot, to sort of try out books. If I read one and really like it, I usually end up buying my own copy. and it is a life saver for movies for the kids and such

7:49 am

vision is holding at 20/200 on a good day and 20/400 on a bad one

7:49 am

sony is one of the worst corporate offenders in the area of restrictive and punitive eulas (end user license agreements). they caused enoprmous damage to thousands of computers around the world with a root kit spyware package they had put on cds a few years ago.

7:49 am

so she is quite lucky actually

7:49 am

oh dear, crossy! what a good guy you are, to arange the reader for her.

7:50 am

Glad that it is taking a depression for someone to value a library. Wait til you see what businesses end up closing. Babble is a literary community. Book stats here do not reflect the norm. In irony, I must leave this discussion because I have to go work at my store that is being crushed by the economy. Take care all, and enjoy what you've got while it's here.

7:50 am

and g'morning all. lol

7:50 am

If you love the library... thank Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Carnegie... one's idea; the other's money!

7:50 am

when I go to the library, I pick a book I like the look of, and another one. I usually enjoy 'the other one' more than the one I liked the look of!!

7:50 am

have a good day, uni, and I wish you many, many customer

7:51 am

we have lost over 8000jobs locally uni..you do not have to tell us

I do use my library a lot but the issue is that i can't physically carry and sort out 1 paragraph per 900 page book for Law cases. I love my little independant store.

7:51 am

libraries do rather pre-date jefferson. lol

7:51 am

they plowed my service station under so i know full well the effects of the recession

7:53 am

big box wal-marts..sigh we hate them but we love them

wow. I love the City Library but for my time and such I have to use google books. Its the only place to get different reference for Law books

7:54 am

don't love any size of walmart. ick.

7:54 am

yes herin,i know many school students who have all thier yearly texts on a e-book reader;0

7:54 am

His idea was free public education and free libraries.. wanted something in the constitution for both... he lost that battle, of course... but it was finally Andrew Carnegie who knew that if he left the $$$ to his kids they would squander it, LOL! So, he set up trusts to establish/fund libraries. Most libraries at the time were established/funded by wealthy folks and many were not 100% free.

No I couldn't do that. I love to feel the book, highlight what i need to find *yes shock horror* post it note the damn thing*

7:55 am

lol mom,our old library was a caregie model;)

7:55 am

carnegie even

7:56 am

And yes, the idea of libraries certainly pre-date Jefferson (The Library at Alexandria in Ancient Egypt comes to mind), but they were by no means prevalent, certainly not here in the colonies, LOL!

7:56 am

you can highlight passages in e-books;)

BUt you can't molest the book :D

7:56 am

Can you?

7:56 am

just dont condem new ideas..think of all the trees we can save;)

7:57 am

wish i had a computer can id show it to you

7:57 am

I love books, but I hate carrying them around. Also, I love that my Palm Pilot has a backlight... because sometimes I don't even need my glasses when I use it... also I don't need to fumble with the stupid book light. I don't know if I have the capability of highlighting, will have to investigate.

I couldn't imagine all the text books on ereader. I love my books

7:58 am

mornin babblers :)

7:58 am

the forerunner of the public library was established in england in the 1500s. doesn't diminish the contributions of jefferson or carnegie, we could do with a few more altruists in this day and age.

HI Eva

7:59 am

I have to tell you. I am reading Wuthering Heights again right now, as I came across it after moving... anyway, I have been reading from my Palm Pilot recently... I now find that I kind of like using the Palm, as it is smaller.

We have a really crappy little library but am blessed with it connecting to other libraries.

7:59 am

No question Bonkler that there certainly were libraries established prior to either of those guys.

7:59 am

hello eva

7:59 am

love my paper books as well,this is used in conjunction with books..though the wife gets the most usage out of the e-reader

8:00 am

but what would happen to the ereader when I drop it in the tub????

8:00 am

We have THE best library system here... There are 70 member libraries and we can borrow from any of them... and do it online, which is great. We also have access to downloadable books on the web, also for free. It's great.

8:00 am

right now i am reading a hard cover 1968 copy of airport by arthur hailey..love that old book smell;)))

And I think that is great. It has superseded the old scan into computer have the computer read it back

8:01 am

lol same thing that will happen with a paperback..it gets wet

8:01 am

we have that too mom, but not 70, more like 20. still and all, it rocks

8:01 am

could someone plz give me a rundown of the 8's?

8:01 am

But certainly in this country the Carnegie endowments really went a long, long way to establishing better libraries, collections, etc.

8:01 am

Yes it does, Trif.

Um we have over 600 RPG books and about 200 novels

8:01 am

And back. Hello EvaN!

9:08 am

hi Eva and Haz

9:08 am

So, you're going shoe shopping?

9:08 am

9:09 am

9:12 am

Thanks Haz, that L was my only blank tile now its grey

9:14 am

could you clue those has?

9:14 am

Thank you very much, EvaN.

9:14 am

You're welcome, Nono.

9:14 am

never mind! now i'm thinking of soup....

9:14 am

nbt

9:18 am

where does one find motivation to do work? because i seem to have lost mine...

9:19 am

From the knowledge that someone is paying you to do it?

9:20 am

From knowing that you'll feel better for having done what is expected of you?

9:21 am

nah

laundry hung.

9:21 am

From knowing that you can buy shoes if you earn lots of money?

a nice day there TO?

9:22 am

ooh!

finally...at lest through early afternoon.

9:22 am

Hello TO - you're at home today? I'm having problems with changeable weather.

9:22 am

Did the shoes thing strike a chord?

yes, haz, regular day off. rainign there?

its rather blah here this morning, overcast but on the warm side

9:24 am

We've had everything from brilliant sunshine to hailstones. I'm thinking of hibernating.

yuck.

9:25 am

at least you can't say your weather is boring, Haz

9:25 am

well, i do get paid regardless...im trying to be good today, but theres a large part of me that just really doesnt care. i think its the weather -- been over a week of rain!

9:25 am

And it's windy as well.

9:26 am

No, British weather isn't boring, that's true. Sometimes I could manage boredom quite nicely, especially when I want to get my clothes dried!

9:27 am

I'd blame the rain, EvaN, for your lack of motivation. It does get you down, no matter how much people talk about keeping the grass green etc.

we have had rain 9 days. over 3 inches

9:30 am

hello all...haz very windy here too today.

9:30 am

I take it that's very much out of the norm for you?

9:30 am

Thats alot of rain TO

yes. although we do tend to regard rain as a terrible nuisance, disregarding the farmers

9:31 am

Hello zoozoom. I keep thinking we've made a mistake and it's really mid-November.

9:32 am

Our problem at the minute for the farmers is that there has been so much rain that many of them haven't put their cattle out to grass yet - the ground is so soft that they'll have it churned up in no time.

9:32 am

well we have had two years of bad summers..hoping this year will be different ...but i am started to wonder :-(

hi zoom. were your summers dry?

9:33 am

no, wet cold, windy, some snow too..just yucky weahter

9:33 am

*weather

oh i must look you up, geographically speaking.

9:34 am

I.O.W little island just of the south english coast

9:35 am

They've said this year is going to be a good summer. I think they're just doing it to humour us.

9:35 am

I've never been to the Isle of Wight but I've heard it's very beautiful.

i do believe i have seen a film and or music produced there

9:37 am

love it here haz, although on the wages side, one of the lowest in the country, but such a beautiful place, you must check out some of my flickr photos when you get a chance :-)

9:38 am

I will do. I've visited Jersey a couple of times and was always amused at how quickly you arrive at places. Have you always lived there?

9:39 am

no haz , i have only been here since 1997 before that i lived (was born) in oxford

9:41 am

Quite a change of pace of life?

9:41 am

TO, i belive you are right..they are filming here alot during summer months but mostly small productions, but i am sure there were a couple of larger scale films done here....probably to do with osbourne house

9:41 am

LOl...you are telling me haz, it was a bit of a shock ..but i have settled right in now..lol

9:42 am

Good for you!

9:42 am

I'm just thinking - the film with Judi Dench as Queen Victoria was possibly filmed there -was it Mrs Brown?

9:43 am

The one with Billy Connelly as John Brown. Looks like I'd better google to get my facts straight.

9:44 am

it was released in 1997 i think..so it would of been before i arrived here, but i thin you are right though

9:44 am

morning everyone.

9:45 am

hello ruru

9:45 am

'Mrs Brown' in UK, 'Her Majesty, Mrs Brown' in US. It was very enjoyable although I should have paid better attention to the scenery! A lot of it was shot in the Highlands of Scotland as well.

hi ruru

9:45 am

Good morning ruru.

9:46 am

scotland..now theres a place that receives alot of rain..lol

9:46 am

Judi Dench is an amazing actress

9:47 am

Well, yes, although some parts are worse than others.

9:47 am

She is, ruru, I think she's wonderful.

9:47 am

I like Helen Mirren

9:47 am

true haz...she is a wonderful actress ruru thats for sure

back. my clues are up - six in one

9:48 am

Well done, TO!

9:48 am

ok i had better dive back into this grid still have to find another 130 words

9:48 am

got those but thanks TO

well i was going to just use the mountains, but decided to put a bit of thought into it

9:49 am

Yes, Helen Mirren is impressive as well.

9:50 am

It's quite exhilerating working through all those sp6/21 and sp7/32. You can see why Pollock enjoyed it so much.

he immeditaely came to ming, too. now that's branding!

or mind. something like that.

9:51 am

I know. I wonder if he was the despair of his teachers - I bet he never kept the crayon between the lines.

9:51 am

just before i get back into this grid ...i decided to get up early for the flip...i could not believe the speed at which some babblers were getting these words...one had got 100 words in about 15 minuites.

9:52 am

zoozoon, I know what you mean. I always like to think that I give each word more of an individual welcome.

zoom, just muscle memory of the mind. sometimes i do best when i just let fingers fly.

9:53 am

hahahaha...love it..thanks for making me smile haz..i`ll remember that one

9:53 am

I'm never around for flip time but I suspect I would probably close the chat log for fear of feeling foolish.

9:53 am

I am always amazed how some people are so great at Babble

9:53 am

zooz - it's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

i see the ps word is back. the repeat words always tickle me.

i think the smaller words will be the challenge today. the ps would make a good clue.

9:54 am

Thanks TO..did not see that

9:54 am

I know - the repeats intrigue me as well.

9:55 am

ugh.. 51 p's

9:55 am

opening chat... wow, what a grid! even our volcano is in it.. what fun. Hi Babblers

9:56 am

Good morning Aloy - it's a lovely grid.

9:56 am

hello aloy

9:56 am

like my cousin Vinny said afterhis cross examination "I'm done with this one"

ooh just found a good one to clue. although aftet allof that work to type clue without usual typos...

9:56 am

Congratulations bubba!

yo, bubba! LOL

9:56 am

congrats, bubba!!!

9:56 am

well done bubba

9:58 am

oh there are two ps words

hi, aloy!

9:59 am

hi TO! reading back... please send some of that rain down here.. such a drought we are having, lots of wildfires..

ooh! ooh! i know thw other! i saw it but it did not click

hymnal

9:59 am

TO bursts into sacred song....

9:59 am

got it now

a GREAT one for a clue icon. haz, shall i abandon jackson?

which is why i speak of muscle memory, zoom

10:00 am

P = not pepperer

10:00 am

Yes, he looks like a bit of a reprobate. Fire up the ps 7.

10:01 am

ps that is..

10:01 am

i must give this muscle memory a try TO

10:02 am

p's are done.. holy cow

with that and your monleys you can conquer all :)

gee ru, you started with them?

10:04 am

nice monkeys.....

10:10 am

those lovely s's are helping so much.. nice placements

ah, the home of the famous herriots are in in the grid. haz, that's how i picture you, as a sort of helen...:D

10:11 am

um, what is a herriot?

all creatures great and small vet

10:12 am

ah, ty

10:12 am

My goodness! I always forget that the Herriot books were so universally popular. I suppose we always thought that with the Yorkshire dialect etc, they would only tend to appeal to a British audience, but clearly not.

10:12 am

love those books

the tv series made them. but i loved the books.

10:12 am

we watched the series on PBS.. it was great

10:13 am

They're good stories - a great source of information as well, although many of the treatments have changed radically over the years.

and herriot is a soemtimes grid word - thought it may be heriot, i forget

10:13 am

Again, the scenery was one of the highlights of the TV series.

10:14 am

the photography was wonderful too.. sometimes I felt like I was in the barn with the vet and the animal..

oh yes, it was ruggedly beautiful

10:15 am

I think it was a bit of a shock for the actors to have to get so involved with the animals.

10:15 am

Love the books and the series

very romanticized view of life

10:15 am

hi all, bak for a bit. hope you like my icon clue :)

10:15 am

r's are finished.. this is flowing smoothly today

10:15 am

are you out in the countryside, Haz?

r=r=r=rah for ru ru

10:16 am

No, Aloy, I live in the town (large market town) but am about five minutes in the car away from the countryside.

10:16 am

hello Dinok..icon looks good.

10:17 am

so, you have immediate neighbors?

10:17 am

dinok - you should put the first two letters and number count on your icon, just to let people know what you're cluing. But it looks good!

10:17 am

Yes, we do, Aloy.

hi dinok my i am ckuekess :D

10:19 am

I think it's pl8/45. If it's not, then I'm clueless as well.

*light bulb comes one* ty, dinok!

10:19 am

ah

10:20 am

it is haz

10:20 am

Light bulbs going on everywhere.

10:20 am

ok i am a novice. It is PL8, blood cells

10:20 am

Thanks for confirmation zoozz.

yes, i had negelecteds the la 7 and the na 7 as well as the pl5

10:21 am

*blood cell, pl does not work

10:21 am

It's all part of the learning process, dinok - it's great that you've done a clue, I haven't sorted one out yet.

while clueing the related sp7 :/

10:22 am

but... i like looking at Spangles, Haz..

10:22 am

the beginning of her name is in the grid, lol

10:22 am

I wonder if I could make her into a clue.

10:22 am

yes, spangles makes me smile

10:22 am

yes.. she is the clue!

10:23 am

I didnt know there was such a thing as themes until yesterday, wondered why people kept changing icons. lol!

10:23 am

don't take her away...

I've got it! shecan clue le4/5!

10:23 am

We're a funny lot, dinok. Sometime we'll give you the World History of Babble.

10:23 am

How about - this dog does not have any fl5.

10:24 am

ooh, having a happy sp5.14 here.. fireworks are going off.. what a fun grid

10:24 am

nice

good one. that is why her coat is so gl5y

10:24 am

Congratulations Aloy!

yay,aloy!

10:25 am

well done aloy

10:25 am

I need help on the first st 6/21?

10:26 am

good morning everyone

10:26 am

Good morning flosey.

10:26 am

hello flosey

10:26 am

10:26 am

hi flosey !

hi flosey

10:27 am

thank you haz..

10:28 am

You're welcome, ruru.

10:28 am

just reading back a bit, Dinok, I love your recipe but am visiting my son in Toronto and don't know how to retrieve it from here, if I put my email address in my bio, would you please send it to me?

10:28 am

okie dokie, poof for now.. see you all next grid.. (-:

10:28 am

Bye Aloy!

10:29 am

thanks aloy

10:29 am

hagd

10:29 am

S's are finished..

well i need to get out of here and go shopping for home improvement stuff. not my favorite

10:30 am

Hope the shopping goes better than you imagine.

but the clues are so good i hate to go

10:31 am

has Dinok left?

haz: ty.

10:32 am

I think he might have. If your e-mail address is available, flosey, I'll send it to you.

10:32 am

done

carpet and tile and flooring

10:32 am

well done ruru

10:32 am

10:32 am

Congratulations ruru.

10:32 am

wtg ru

wtg, ru

10:32 am

No problem, flosey, I'll do that for you now.

10:33 am

after the last two brutal grids... this was a nice one

10:33 am

pallet

10:33 am

shoot..sorry

10:33 am

hi flosey, just so your post, busy monkeying. of course I will. :)

10:33 am

56 cases zoo

10:33 am

yes it has been ru, moving along quite nicely, have 35 words to go

flosey, reading your recipe. are they fudgey or cakey?

10:34 am

thanks dinok, it looks absolutely delicious

10:34 am

they're fudgey

10:34 am

I can feel the calories going on...

10:35 am

hmmm, calories in chocolate???

10:35 am

flosey if you serve it in the pineapple, people are always bowled over. great centre piece!

10:35 am

thought that was forbidden

10:36 am

I may be wrong, but at the minute I think there are calories in fresh air. It's the only explanation for weight appearing where it shouldn't.

10:36 am

can't wait to get home and try it dinok, am here until June 2

10:36 am

yes Haz, my tummy seems to inhale too much of that fresh air

10:37 am

stops breathing

i think i will enjoy luncheon out today you all are making me ravenous

10:37 am

if just my tummy would!

lol @ ruru

10:38 am

stupid air . . .

10:39 am

I'm not the only one to notice this phenomenon?

10:39 am

right that se6s it, I am off for some tea! brb

10:41 am

enjoy dinok

later, dinok

10:43 am

TO how many rooms are you improving?

batkroom redo, will take bids after design. flooring on ground level, maybe all rooms.

landscape beds all around house

and happy to report it sems my gorund hog may just have come for a look see and left.

10:46 am

Oh good. And all without borrowing a dog?

10:46 am

I'll retrieve the emails when I get over to other son's - perhaps make that recipe for them, thanks again

oooh i got slapped for even suggesting that. critter removers said they can tear up a dog.

10:47 am

We redid our bathroom recently - same two men were ablt to do everything except the electrical work and it was relatively painless. Dusty but painless.

mine is a must do,. tiles came loose and it seems the proper backing was not used in construction. or maybe it;s that it has come along way sonce then. danger of mold

10:48 am

Honestly? I thought groundhogs were reasonably small and benevolent. We don't have them over here.

oh no. they can be vicious and are adults are quite large.

big waddly things with big teeth

10:50 am

I'll be glad we don't have them, in that case. You don't paint a very fl7/40ing picture of them!

10:51 am

As far as bathrooms are concerned, it's impossible to get anything but white baths etc over here. Is it the same in the States?

oh goodness no! bathrooms as spas are the rage. i myself have almon/off white and am thinking of changing back to white.

10:53 am

could I have a clue for st6/21 please?

sirry did you mean fixtures? or tiles/materials?

flosey doctors now use them instead of stitches

10:54 am

No, the fixtures. There's choice galore as far as tiles are concerned, but basins etc are white all the way.

10:54 am

thanks TO

well there is a trend back to neutral. but for a while - i mean you can date a house by the colors. i saw a house with BLACK fixtures. and in the fifites there was a lot of gold, blue and pink

10:55 am

hello alla

10:55 am

*all*

10:56 am

hello peri

you haven;t lived till you've tried to tame a pink bathroom :(

10:56 am

the 70's was avocado and gold, the colors of my kitchen that I have been looking at for the past 19 years :(

hi peri what's up?

10:56 am

help with 8's pls. only have one pa8/45

10:56 am

Yes, it's the same here. Seventies stuff was very colourful, toned down a bit in the eighties and nineties, now going back to neutral. It's probably a good thing, you don't have to make a decision about colour, just shape, size etc,

10:57 am

tr8 - plural of the type of sewing machine my teacher used to make clothes while we sat doing our work.

so you had fixtures in pink blue and yellow back then?

10:57 am

not much at the moment. need to sell some of my furniture but not sure what to ask for.

10:57 am

12:02 pm

he's doing pretty well at home, and he was supposed to come home on Tuesday anyway, so it wasn't too big a deal to get him out a day early

12:03 pm

oh dear. re roomate. how is he doing? is he getting homecare?

12:03 pm

12:03 pm

7:11 pm

hi red. Doesn't seem like the regulars are around for you

I think most everyone has finished and it is Friday Night, so hopefully people are out. I am so tired that ai am just hanging out.

7:13 pm

hi all, back again

7:13 pm

I'm sort of here, but still have 130 words to go, so not much help. Have all the 8's and the 9, but only 12 7's so far.

7:13 pm

God babies came over so had to spoil them for awhile

I already finished.

7:14 pm

well, congrats then!

7:14 pm

ty

So if you need clues, my icon is one, and i can try...

7:16 pm

Can I get a clue for the bottom L for NBT?

Watching Happy Feet and wishing something else was on.

Magy I am trying to figure out which L came from the bottom L...

7:17 pm

le 4, think it is meadow

7:17 pm

thanks Red...I've been trying but they are all from the other L!

I remember having the same problem Magy.

7:18 pm

not sure if that is one

7:18 pm

or le 4 on me

Or the Jumping one.

7:18 pm

I think that's the la5/6/6 - what you dip soup with, and pl, and who does it.

rbud you are right.

7:19 pm

thank you everyone!!! NBT!!

7:19 pm

yep just greyed that one

Yaaay Magy.

And cherly!

7:20 pm

ty

7:20 pm

HELLO ALL!!!

7:20 pm

oops. durn caps lock...

7:20 pm

hi stid

Hi Stid! How are things?

7:21 pm

Would someone mind explaining what these word 'codes' are? ...for example la5/6/6 and le 4 were used earlier. I may just be a bit slow tonight but I cant seem to figure out how you are telling one word from another.

7:21 pm

Hi, All

7:21 pm

HI STID!! :D (oh, I thought you were just really cheery. lol!)

7:21 pm

LA 5/6/6 means there are three words in a row that start with "LA" -- one is five letters long, the others are 6

7:21 pm

la5/6 means someone is looking for a word starting with l and has 5 letters

7:22 pm

on the other hand, LA 4/4 would mean a four letter word (first number) worth 4 points (second number)

7:22 pm

hi all

7:22 pm

oh rbud, seeing you, I *am* cheery! HELLO RBUD!

7:22 pm

sorry, I wasn' tnearly as clear as stid, and I erred...

7:22 pm

hi, doresn

7:23 pm

le 4 would be a 4 letter word starting with le

7:23 pm

That helps alot thanks. Only thing I dont get now is how you know how many letters you're looking for before you find the word. :-)

tempest heres an example. la5, 6means a wordstarts with la, has 5 letters and the six means its valued at six points. If you click on the help box it will explain the points values.

7:23 pm

hello dorens. I am having a GOOD day. Hope you are, too. Wanna hear the reaction of 24 6th graders when told they were going to write a sonnet????

licketys list.

Hi PAM!

7:23 pm

hi, red!

7:23 pm

yes, stid

7:23 pm

lickety has a list that is handy -- see the links below the grid

7:24 pm

hi pam, red, tempest, and cherly

7:24 pm

okay. this was yesterday, because today they had a class party:

7:24 pm

they GROANED! they COMPLAINED! they MOPED! and then they got to work, and were doing surprisingly well by the end of the class period!

7:24 pm

*happy teaching moment look*

7:25 pm

7:27 pm

7:31 pm

65 words left and 8 p's

7:31 pm

hiya guyzes, watch it bugs

7:31 pm

Happy feet asa movie is not really holding my attention.

7:31 pm

hi herin

7:31 pm

hey lady! I was just on my way out. back in a half hour or so.

7:31 pm

hi, nut and herin

7:31 pm

addicting is certainly accurate, bugsaw

cherly a lot of the P's refer to paint tools or small beds.

7:31 pm

I'm listening to it in the next room - nice soundtrack, tho

7:31 pm

hi dorens

Just thought I would wave hello I ahve to go and get dressed and do study

7:32 pm

wait wait... YAY RED!!!! *offers cool drink in celebration of early finish*

Hi herin.

7:32 pm

*temporary poof*

7:32 pm

Hi Stid. I just found this game by accident last month. I found the people on here very encouraging and helpful so it is my turn

TY stid.

7:33 pm

ty red

And Bug, it is horribly addicting!

7:33 pm

lol..bugsaw..I will agree with the addicting part. I have been doing this two days now and my husband thinks I am crazy already.

7:34 pm

no kidding. I love it tho. I work with a very challenging student who needs to take breaks often so I give him the grid to play with and he thinks he is not doing school work!

7:34 pm

wow, done with l's, done with p's, the end is in sight

temprest you have to get hubby to play also...

7:35 pm

go dorens (turns purple in envy)

yay dorens.

jbv how are things going in your housse...

7:36 pm

well done dorens

7:36 pm

my husband is dyslexic (man i hope that word doesnt come up i cant spell it..lol) so word games make him crosseyed

7:37 pm

not so fast, but thanks .... still have 20 left!

7:37 pm

red, it's pretty much the same - we just got home from the weekly hospital visit (tubes flushed, etc)

7:37 pm

it's pretty discouraging but thanks for asking

7:37 pm

Know what DNA stands for? National Dyslexic Association. - my dyslexic son told me that

7:38 pm

This game frequently makes me crosseyed ..

7:38 pm

sorry to hear that jbv... didn't realize you still have that going on

7:38 pm

hi tor, did you finish yet

7:38 pm

lol..i will have to tell my husband that he loves phrases like that about dylexia

7:38 pm

yes dorens, it is an on-going situation, he may need another surgery but it can't be for a while

7:39 pm

I agree with that torgone. Half the time I swear I am just typing words I have already found

7:39 pm

oh {{{jbv}}}that is rough

7:39 pm

50 left ..

7:39 pm

if anyone wanted to complain about the least little thing, you should just meet my husband and you would be amazed at how strong he is - never compains, always looks forward

7:40 pm

the world needs lots more of those peole

Sorry JBV. I am so sorry that things arent perking up a bit more.

Oh torgone, I smoked you! that work thing allowed it.

7:40 pm

well I have 65 still

7:41 pm

we are learning lesson in life - people always talk about focusing on the now and a serious illness makes it happen -

My Mom feels that way now after we watched my Grandmother struggle with alzeheimers...

7:42 pm

so I try to enjoy the immediate small pleasures - kind people, babble fireworks, etc.

7:42 pm

that is the best way to look at it

7:43 pm

it has made me a lot less shy

7:43 pm

what has made you less shy, Bugsaw?

7:44 pm

focussing on the here and now and knowing that if I don't speak up it could be too late the next time

7:46 pm

well, no need to be shy here, Bugsaw, speak away!

I think and I hate to say it...but the economyhas made a lot of people take a hard look at whats important.. as well.

7:46 pm

absolutely bugsaw... we have a very unshy group. fireworks here too

7:46 pm

thanks to you all, I do. For years I played games and just snooped on conversations and felt like a voyeur

7:47 pm

I think that's true, Red

7:47 pm

not just unshy. You guys are encouraging and supportive. You take time for newbies too!

7:47 pm

yeah dorens

7:47 pm

well done dorens

7:48 pm

It has red, alot of people having to face things they never had to think about before

7:48 pm

ty. anyone need clues before I go? have to get started on a book that is way overdue

7:48 pm

I remember being shy in 8th grade, then went to a HS where the 9th graders led the orientation and I was so amazed and impressed at how self-confident they were, I decided then and there that I was going to be like that - .... it took a while, but I did change

7:48 pm

impressive, j

7:49 pm

na5/10?

7:49 pm

people who know me now would never believe I was ever shy

7:50 pm

i have been working on overcoming it for years. The best thing i did was shift my attitude from seeing things as a threat, to seeing things as a challenge

7:50 pm

plural of hawthorne, torg

7:52 pm

na 5 plural of hawthorne? what am i missing?

7:52 pm

I always miss that one since the singular is not accepted ..

7:54 pm

Author of Scarlet Letter- short first name

7:55 pm

8:14 pm

Ping and the poets-a-day are amazing

8:14 pm

8:14 pm

94 now, trying to decide if listing now is a good idea.

8:14 pm

once I list, I may not be able to tear myself away to go back to writing.

Do they still have poetry on some of the busses Pam?

8:15 pm

yes, red. A very few here in Boston...

8:15 pm

i took the afternoon off and spent it with the children - good time

My Dad had a few odd ones in the busses back in the 70's part of a Poetry in Public Places programme.

8:15 pm

nice, ping

8:15 pm

good for you, Ping!

8:15 pm

who's your dad, red?

John Taggart, hes still alive, just had a book out I think in 2008.

8:16 pm

hi, ping

8:16 pm

i love his work, red!

8:16 pm

ha! piano keys! anyone want to race?

8:16 pm

he publishes with flood, right?

Ping, you are kidding me!

Yes he does indeed publish with Flood, he likes them very much.

8:16 pm

serious

8:16 pm

LOL (small world gets smaller)

8:16 pm

here's a coincidence - yesterday I chose my sister's picture for my icon (colorful relative) and today her name is in the grid ! (st 6/18)

8:17 pm

i think i wrote about one of his books on my blog a few years ago

8:17 pm

that is super-cool, JBV!

8:17 pm

synchronicity, jbv

8:17 pm

Very cool, jbv

Oh Gosh! you know Ping, he just learned to use email in 2007, hes blissfully unaware of blogs.

8:17 pm

red, it's the one with the grid of beautiful photos on the cover

8:17 pm

I am going to have to read some John Taggart! WOo Hoo, another poet to read!

8:18 pm

LOL, red

8:18 pm

that's cool, that you know his poems, Ping

Oh, Ping, My mom took those photos, they are all form the house.

8:18 pm

ooh red! your dad's been wikied!

8:18 pm

his work is wonderful, the photographs are too

He's a little famous stidd but only in the circles of wierd....

8:19 pm

wikied, i like that verb

He has a new book out, but it is not quite a nice as that one...I admit.

8:19 pm

we'll have to add to the Wiki - that he is also the father of a champion Babbler

8:19 pm

i'll look for it, red

8:20 pm

absolutely, "father of red, babbler who resembles her name"

Ping, My Dad spent a lot of time in Houston, at the Rothko Chapel back in the dad....

holy moly, I just noticed there are *51* 'P' words. Yipe!

8:20 pm

I will read Slow Song for Mark Rothko in a bit.... 8^)

8:20 pm

two of red's dad's poems at

Its ok Stid!!!! I am already a bit embarassed as he sold a great deal fo correspondence to some library....

and while some is business, some is not...

8:21 pm

really, red? have you ever been to the rothko? my office is on the same campus as it and the menil collection museum

I've never really been to Houston, OnlyAmarillo in passing...

8:21 pm

red, your dad is big on patterns. Lovely stuff.

Takuma, I can clue.

8:22 pm

don't panic Takuma, I have half of them and I haven't listed yet

You know Stid, I used to really hate his poetry until I heard him read it. Its sort of like singing/Jazz.

8:22 pm

http://www.thing.net/~grist/l&d/ltagrt 1.htm

8:22 pm

I need 5 more

8:22 pm

that is the url I tried to enter earlier that the add word box did not accept...

8:23 pm

go cherly go!

8:23 pm

go cherly

8:23 pm

the rothko is dark (understatement)

8:23 pm

oops door bell, 5 more p's

8:23 pm

yes, I thought it was dark too... I didn't read the whole thing.

8:24 pm

I can take dark, ping 8^)

8:24 pm

there. finally got the last F I needed... (dum plurals)

8:24 pm

i meant the rothko chapel, actually - it's very dark

I dont know much about it, but that writing was all done when I was stillliving at home. and a lot of his poetry is dark and wierd, I admit to sort of avoiding it a bit.

8:26 pm

hm. *reading the rothko more carefully*

Well Ping, I can see if He has a few copies of the new book, and he'll gladly sign it for you. He is very amused at having fans.

woohoo! NBT

8:26 pm

cool - i am def a fan!

8:26 pm

LOVED the Rothko...

8:27 pm

Loved the poem, haven't been to the building

He got his first royalty check for that flood book,afterhaving some 15 bookspublished, He was in shock.

8:27 pm

go takuma

8:27 pm

I am halfway through, not as dark as I initially thought, but still somewhat so... I prefer the other one. It starts "You have to hear the sound before you play the sound."

8:28 pm

wow, red, i had know idea he had published so many

114 to go. Time for a break. Good luck all!

He's gota few books of essays about Jazz and an odd one about Hopper the artist.

8:29 pm

down to 85. going to go write and back soon. I am NOT enjoying trying to write something for a 100-level class. I don't know whether to dumb it down, or write as if I really care. Have chosen to write as if I really care, but the 5-page double-space limit is really short. I think I have enough material for ten papers that length!

not poetry.

8:29 pm

fireworks - thanks for the clues, everyone -

I will admit though Ping that flood edition, with the photos on the cover is very successful....and I've read some "interpretations" and they make me giggle....most of those are just reflections of his daily life, notanything else!

Yaaaaaaay JBV.

8:30 pm

yeah jbv

8:31 pm

go stid go!

8:31 pm

do you write too, red?

8:31 pm

wtg JBV!

Only a blog a little. He encourages me and thinks I write well, but, I have very little patience.

Ping, I have to call home for Moms day,I'll see if he has a copy of "There are birds" I dont like it much, but its a little wierd as he is my Dad, and I think there are some red ahired virgins invovled in the latest work.

You Ping? are you a poetess?

8:35 pm

hi everyone!

8:35 pm

yes, red, a struggling one

do you teach in Houston?

8:35 pm

9:34 pm

9:38 pm

9:38 pm

whooooo hoooooo TORG!!

9:39 pm

Don't give up, stidmama.

9:39 pm

"patlet" = gentle tap?

9:39 pm

are you a vegetarian, stid?

9:39 pm

sp8/45 was icon-clued by TO by a Jackson Pollock painting

9:39 pm

I did jilli .. yvw .. it's a (I rarely use this word except in ways often deemed improper) "cute" video ..

9:39 pm

not entirely, Ping, but cow products are fatal -- don't even have to swallow them to swell up.

9:40 pm

Peach, sp8 think of what happens when you drop something liquidy on the floor, it sp8's all over the place

9:40 pm

and I can't have sheep or goat products either. I generally avoid land animals... LOL

9:40 pm

tor -- it wasn't just "cute" -- very talented and cheery.

9:40 pm

oh, i didn't remember that - marcia is a vegetarian

9:41 pm

so you have underground animals?

9:41 pm

Thanks, y'all.

9:41 pm

the only vegetable I really can't eat is eggplant -- though wheat makes me uncomfortable, it's not really an allergy.

9:41 pm

maybe you can eat moles, stid?

9:41 pm

It was very cheery .. That girl is quite talented .. I like all her videos ..

9:42 pm

underground animals??? LOL sure. worms, beetles, the occasional vole and badger...

9:42 pm

GMTA, jill!

9:42 pm

"Dinsdale .."

9:42 pm

tor, there was a sidebar to the vid, where she talks about doing in memoriam for a friend, or did I misunderstand?

9:43 pm

rofl... NOT giant hedgehogs, though!

9:43 pm

i read that too, Jilli. yes a memorial to her friend.

9:43 pm

ther ne 5/10- last n word??

9:43 pm

I wonder what her friend's name was...

9:44 pm

airborne animals

9:44 pm

seaborne animals

9:44 pm

It's the name at the very beginning of the vid ..

9:44 pm

plural fishing gear lookalike

9:44 pm

technical question here...can you download you tube for just the music...to be put on an mp3 player?

9:45 pm

no idea, lbd!

9:45 pm

sorry -- that last was a clue for sammysmom

9:45 pm

ty stid - i needed that one too

9:45 pm

any time, ping

9:45 pm

must play it again, tor ;)

9:46 pm

9:46 pm

Here's paragraph of clues you can re 4/5. Grid is too big to finish.I started too la4/4. Was pretty easy to get the first 177 words.The le6/18s are arranged so words are easy to find.So many anagrams that I just have to al 5/10 the letters & that le5/12 me to more words. I also te 4/5 to le 4/4 on clues in the chog to help me.Babblers are always so nice to le 4/5 a hand. I was debating to try to stay up for flip or go to bed early.I think I'll pa 4/5 on finishing and do the la6/18 My brain waves are not so al 5/10 right now. In fact they are fl 4/7 right now. Another unfinished grid is not a great lo 4/4 to me. Goodnight to all as I le 4/5 into bed and ne6/18 w/my dog.He's a great ne 7/28. And there en 4/5 my night.
