no, it is Mother's Day
see here for dates: http://tinyurl.com/otnwos
chrissie -- wasn't it called Mothering Sunday?
builds off the il8 MLF - which has the same ending as the phamtom remedy for constipation
sorry -- here's the present for the ladies:http://tinyurl.com/r9dsyz
you're probably correct jilli, but it just gets called Mother's Day nowadays
yes jilli just looked it up we had a picture calendar made for a friend in England and that was printed on March 14 for next year
GOT IT
rofl!!! Thanks, jilli, just what I wanted for Mom's day!

Naught kitten, but beautiful, dc!
trying to get out or get in seain?

that's my state bird by the way
jilli is very naughty and I love her for that as well!
ah yes, the Rhode Island Red
nifty, west :)
does that mean the photo is a rhode island red?
everyone else get a beautiful song bird we get a chicken
how cool to have a chicken as state bird!
bawk bawk
the USA almost had a turkey as the national bird!
my rendition
indeed we did, jilli
yes that's what Ben Franklin wanted
it's awful when a wild turkey flies in front of one in the woods
a winged soccerball at head height. weeee!
sturdy and down-to-earth and headstrong... not bad
yikes, dc!
we live in a city and a few weeks ago a flock of wild turkeys was on our front lawn
badddddd seain
and a very good bourbon
*sends west to the sin bin*
oh oh
indeed so, west
I've never seen a wild turkey
I have dated a few.

hi flosey welcome to the club
I think everyone else is napping
I'm seriously thinking of moving to Australia so I can be in the right time zone
I should be, it's almost 3: am
you'd be welcome, west! (hi guys)
you're probably still on your time
and happy mother's day.
hi kanga thanks
we watched the movie tonight, Australia
same to you kanga whenever yours is
think you're right west
oh did you like it flosey we have it on our list
i still haven't seen it, flosey. is it really terrible (winces)?
nearly over, west.
yes, I enjoyed it west,
I thought it might be in March like England's kanga
I had hoped to see more scenery
good actors in it
yes west
hugh jackman was in my studio a couple of months ago. he just walked in and i nearly dropped the plate i was printing!
it's a period piece isn't it?
kidman and jackman
yes
mmmm, hugh jackman...
indeed!
mmm is right
could I have a clue for ta6 please, it's driving me crazy
sorry, don't have it yet...
what excitment kanga, do you see many actors in your business?
what you pay and native of ending
or cab and 2/3's of morning drink
only the ones who are having to make ends meet by modelling for student life drawing classes! which, alas, he did not offer to do...
got it, thanks
there's a plural too
west
yes, thanks again
how fun is that kanga
how about te7?
quite a lot, west!
sorry flosey don't have that one yet
hi -- back again -- hi flosey!
hi there jilli
and kanga
hi jilli thought you were looking under your bed
hi jilli!
just found it west, do you want a clue
sure would thanks
lol jilli, who are you looking for?
me too, please
actually, I went for a peek at the updates of dan2bit's puppies -- all doing great -- lots of pix!
aww good to hear

too much chat as usual here
flosey was that a clue about the drink?
you beat me jilli I have 52
oh, got the te7 -- thanks!
chat is what makes this game
well, I was highly distracted by your link, jilli, that's my excuse! lol
right, west!
well, wish me luck, have to be up at 6:45 - going to casino with Linda's Mom - just for about an hour - if I can get up that soon
got it, thanks flosey
you have to stop playing it rbud lol
I don't think flosey saw the link
but...but... ;)
give her something to dream about jilli
why go to a casino at such an ungodly hour, flosey?
apparently she goes every year, so just thought I'd go along with her this year - she spends the rest of the day visiting her kids - will be here this afternoon
that's my kind of mother's day lol
oh.. I got the video jilli.. hysterical.
only I'd go at midnight
yes jilli, I saw the link, what a hoot

I'm going to see my mother at 1:00 and our oldest daughter will be here about 4:00
maybe I'll take a nap in between
we don't go out it's too crazy
you're talking about tomorrow, I assume, west? I and 4 pm?
yes lol
halfway
wtg josh!
speedy gonzales
I suppose I could wrap this up if I got the list
i can already tell which tiles are going to drive me nuts today
there is a list I presume?
i have not checked for a list, idk
back, and it was delightful :)
there is indeed, and I've been using it as usual
what did you do sprite?
nice, sprite!
I ate a lovely Mother's Day breakfast and got some very cute gifts the kids made themselves
jilli I always use the list if there is one just don't always go right away
those are the very best kind sprite
I go to the list when I get NBT
what was for breakfast, sprite?
absolutely, the only kind I want. No big things, this is perfect.
trouble is I still don't have NBT
toast with smoked salmon, and coffee, jilli!
we all have our little ways ;)
the ix5 gave me trouble, and i found an il8 for the i on the right column
trying for that ix
mmm sprite makes me think of bagels with cream cheese and lox
nice breakfast, sprite!
mmm that sounds lovely too. But I am a sucker for smoked salmon. You can wake me up for it at 2 am and I'll be happy.
i want bagel and lox pls
sometimes I treat myself to a sandwich for lunch -- dark Russian rye, cream cheese, capers, lox, romaine lettuce. Yum.
it was, jilli :) So sweet, when the children and my love cooperate to make me something truly delicious.
lox = smoked salmon, sprite
I wish the stores were open now
josh - add ending to the il 8 for the il 10
oh! I was thinking a member of the onion family.
oooh, tyvm
many of those end in -look in dutch. Knoflook (garlic), bieslook, etc. Totally wrong deduction from my part.
I can see how that would happen sprite
my 'something-new-learned' for today :)
mine too!
and I learned garlic in Dutch lol
:)
is bieslook onion?
bieslook is chives
and onions is 'uien' - don't even try to pronounce that, grin.
ah -- what's onion, then?
that would be a good babble word
ok, won't try, lol!
ah, oh yes!
my guess at pronunciation isn't far from onion without the first n
there is no way to explain the -ui- sound in english, because it does not exist in that language.
darn -- and my Dutch friend here died so I can't ask her
I once asked an online friend from Norway how to pronounce her name, and she put up a link for a site where a lady pronounced lots of Norwegian names, it was very interesting.
Zuider Zee sound?
or is that Zuyder Zee?
?? don't know, but I could maybe find it if I looked.
yes! There is the -ui-. And then add -yen-, without putting stress on the e.
oh great, rbud!
If I want onions in Holland I'll point to them
that was my guess, sprite :)
if I ever get there that is
I'd love to hear you say it, jilli! For most native speakers of english it is unpronounceable. Like the -eu- sound. Very dutch.
would be nice, west
I was talking to my husband's sister and she said the Tulip Festival in Holland, Michigan was last weekend
the next best thing
that is nice too, west!
one thing she mentioned was they must replace thousands of the bulbs every year because the deer eat them
found the site with the names: http://tiny.cc/fWNxR
I can imagine. Not much deer here, alas, so easier on the bulbs.
sprite, we were taught french pronunciations by the phonetic alphabet at school when we were about 7 and there are lots of sounds not used in English. Maybe that would make it easier for some of us to approximate ui -- ?
wow rbud, that is cool! Try Kjersti! :)
you are so right, jilli, I forgot about that! The -ui- is how a word like fauteuil ends in sound!
I know I tried to say some of the names myself - very difficult.
I was trying myself, rbud, and it is really tough indeed! Singsongy language, isn't it.
My friend's name is Hege, and it's not like I thought it would sound, lol!
good one!
jilli, I found the fe6 words. Do you have them already?
I have fe6 x 2, are there more?
jilli is deep into Norwegian, I bet :)
no, 2 is all
you're right, sprite -- and I bookmarked it for future reference!
I ev words I am unable to pronounce
me too, great site, rbud, thanks for looking it up for us
hi BabbleRabble, glad to see you. Just in ti4 to see me fireworking.
yw :)
I have the first fe6, not the second...
thanks for the site rbud I bookmarked it for later the cat is calling and I am falling...to sleep
switch consonants in the middle, jilli
You have fireworks already, sprite? Wowie!!!
sleep well west
see you all next time and Happy Mother's Day
thanks sprite -- strange word to me
nite, west, you too!
night west!
I should have fireworked twice, once for the good words and once for all the phantoms I found!
well, congrats, sprite!
oh yes, lots of phantoms!
congrats, sprite
thanks :) Anything I may clue for you before I go?
could use a clue for the meaning of life?
that little il4/6 is driving me bonkers, sprite!
rhymes with your name, jilli :)
*refers BabbleRabble resolutely to Monty Python*
ty sprite...
if life is a comedy, I don't understand the humor
'life is really very fantastic. But you must have a peculiar sense of humour to see the fun of it."
ah, no wonder. sans irony, sarcasm and the sardonic
can't think, can't see words -- time for bed -- night all!
the rhyme in your profile is great, BabbleRabble, thanks for sharing. And if I may say so, however bleak the image of your icon, I adore the colours.
night jilli, sleep well and take care of you
nite, jilli!
I think 'becilic' is my favorite word in the rhyme.
very clever, babrab -- and *poof*
am off too, things to leave undone, places to leave unvisited. Bye all! *special wave to BabbleRabble*
bye, sprite!

MrP May I ask what milestone your beloved has reached.
I am doing ok thanks elder! One step backward, two steps forward now!! better than the reverse lights I had on for the last year!
he has turmed the big 4 OH!!
You have progressed amazingly since last year.
Wow! he's an adult now, tell him he is going to start behaving himself now
Oh Bless,
Lynxxx :)
Indeedy do lynxx!! Now I can throw words like... 'you are in your 40's now! Stop acting your shoe size!' (europeans would get that!) LOL
lol
LOl...
3 left, and one of them is a 6
and that's fireworks
yay josh!
Well done ! Josh.
the x is hiding deftly today, in many words
yes, it is a sneaky letter.
that explains a lot josh!
oh man! that ti7 compound was hiding!
Ti ? do you mean te/7
yes, te7 sorry!!
that ti7 compound is very sneaky - i don't have it and i've got fireworks
am watching an amazing program on '60 minutes' and doing babble... too much for the brain tonight
:)
television melts your brain. use only in moderation
60 minutes is a very gracious program about the current news in the world
Done.. have to dash, visitors due soon. Happy babbling everyone.
bye elder!
Mr P sorry, do you need any clues before I go.
oh no thanks elder! am watching tv and plodding along! you have a nice day!! Is it mother's day over there??
Ok, no our Mothering Sunday was earlier in the year.
ah! ok, we have ours today... thought we might be in sync! have a great day!!
well you have a lovely Mothers Day :) Byee.
bye and thanks! :))
mrp, when you say 60 minutes is that a nz show or are you referencing the american one
josh, it is an Australian program.
Just watched an amazing story of a naval diver that lost his arm and leg to a shark in the Sydney Harbour only 3 months ago.
tough luck, that
This is an Australian flag Josh...although very similar to NZ's..one star different
what I like is at the end of the show, they have an online chat forum for one of their main stories with the person of interest
haha, i know. i don't know many kiwi people on babble so i don't know why i made that mistake
no prob josh!
going to bed - night all
nite josh!
bye Josh

don't mind chatting with you zing, but sometimes we can get lost in the grid, so if we don't talk to you that's why
i have my sats tests tomorrow and i am really nervous
i think i am doing ok with the words
sat? then you're not 11?
or just a genius 11?
i am 11
they r key stage 2 sats
not SAT but probably state testing

thought you just noticed my different icon on here is all
lol i did and very pretty
thanks
I love lilacs and always hope they're in blossom by Mother's Day
my neighbor moved in and chopped the tree down next to my house ...i was in mourning
oh how sad, was it lilac?
the neighbor that lived their previously love planting and they raped the yard
yes lilac
i took alot of the plants before they massacred everything
can't understand that, I love lilacs and have spent many years growing them in my yard
lilacs are beautiful - they are in bloom here right now (in my neighborhood, that is, I don't have one)
I have azaleas which are just beginning to bud
wasn't happy about it being so close to my house but when they did that i was sick
just isn't spring without lilacs
do you have a place to plant your own then Kay?
I got most of my lilac bushes from my parent's yard so they have special meaning to me
yes i have yard
hubby has koi pond too
oh that sounds nice and tranquil
aww nice luv
that's great, Luv - a "heritage" lilac!
i love flowers
I have been resisting advice from friends, neighbors, and yes, Husband, to tear down a giant rhododendron because it's blocking a window!!! I love that rhody = it's been around for at least 40 years
wow JBV that would be hard to think about removing for me too
our neighbors all do that when they move in - tear everything out and start over - I don't get it
JBV is there any way you could move it somewhere else
don't do it
I suppose so, pab, if I hire an arborist, land-moving equipment, landscape architect, etc - when I win the lottery :)
i have no place for one but i would love it
too many trees here
they r the most prettiest this in bloom
it's nice to have lots of trees tho too Kay
what kind are they?
we have a giant maple tree in the back with a treehouse - spectacular
not when trying to flower...grrr maple
oops sorry jbv
true, it also makes growing grass a challenge, but my flower gardens are not under the tree
flowers in the front, tree and spotty grass in the back
and they don't clean their leaves so where does that leave me
getting ready to go out for our annual Mother's Day event - we have a local botanical garden flower sale here, pick up all my flats and potted plants there, then hubby and son plant them for me! hope you all have a nice mother's day
we have lots of trees and we just mulch the leaves up with the mower in the fall
my last neighbor use to mow them up so they would blow away lol
lmao soorrrryyy
wasn't me lol
my foot so in my mouth
no, I live out in the country more so it's not a problem here
ok so my venting was legal??
lol
doesn't bother me lol
i just don't get people
they want to save the trees but don't want to clean them up
have to take a break for now, Happy Mother's Day everyone

in the US our high school kids take one large test called the SAT and that helps them get into college
FM you finished the grid already?
The SATs were introduced into the English system a while ago and I think this year is going to be the last year the exams run as they have been a bit of a shambles. Yes ruru finished this morning as I was up v early.
(I can stop putting laxative in the box then?)
The words containing an x gave me the run around but lickety and couting tile values finished them off for me.
oh
I am trying to play and read this article in Vanity Fair about Bernie Madoff
first time I have ever read Vanity Fair
I feel sorry for his kids, one day he just ups and tells them stole all that money
how can you read and grid search at the same time... seems futile

my best friend's family were puppy raisers too. always hard to see them go, but nice to know you're doing such a worthwhile thing, right?
they still keep in contact with the owners of some of their puppies.
yep it is hard to let them go
if they fail u sometimes get to keep them

feather SATS aren't as important in england as they are in the US though. They're more just to assess what sets you get put in for each subject. They would very rarely keep anyone back a year
i am doing mine so i can go up to high school

hi pug 3 oclock usually in england
ty vm !
Congrats Pug!
so often get buggered up by those compounds
congratulations pug.
yahoo pug
happy mothers day too
well done pugs
ty vm & to you too
mothers day is a mixed emotional bag for me
sorry to hear that pug
why Pug, you don't get to see your son?
its ok very proud of my kids, just my mom passed couple of days after mother day & I'd been trying to reach her for days by phone
I do see him
yes pug it must be difficult when families are split apert.
just not too often during school
sorry to hear that pug
ooh, that must have been very very hard Pug. Mum's are so special. I am sorry
it was indeed
hard to lose a parent, lost my dad when was pregnant with my oldest
at least her minister was with her , they were very close
it was unforseeable however , result of an auto accident
gosh! I feel so sorry for you ...
so my sisters & I never got to say goodbye we all live in different states
Awful, you didn't get a chance to say anything...but good that she had someone close to her when she passed.
that was a blessing , we were all grateful he rushed to her side in the hospital
it gets a bit easier each year
my thoughts are with you pug.
Of course...but never forgotten
have to wonder sometimes if it isn't better than watching somebody you love waste away slowly
forget is not even a question the pain just becomes less acute
anyway it gets easier to focus more on how glad I am (& she would be) with how nicely her grand kids have turned out
any clues needed my lovlies before I face the (ugh!) vaccuming?
good to see you are being positive pug.
no but thank you pugmama
no excuse to procrastinate????
boy ! some people! sheesh!
ok then , Happy Babbling & Mothers Day to you all! POOFSTERS!

HEllo Min! Happy Mothers Day
I have about 26 left, but I'm at someone else's house now

Thank you DR1965. Actually I am happy NOT to be a mom
: ) - I understand that as well!!!
I just need the la6 for fireworks and I am stumped. Will someone help me get back to the garden please?
But Happy Mother's Day to who're happy to be a mother.
Hello Bugsaw! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle
do you have teenagers Min?
la 6 -- change the third letter of the le 6
No kids at all which is why I'm happy NOT to be a mother
Thank you so much BR!!!only the 5th time i have seen it. I have to say it should be much bigger after all the effort....
I was always happy to be a mother until my kids were teens and then I wondered what I was thinking.
congrats, Bugsaw
well done Bugsaw
Congratulations Bugsaw on your fireworks!Good for you
Now they are all grown and gone it is much better again, especially since they live in their own homes!!
WOO HOO BUGS
Thank you all for the congratulations. It is very gratifyling.
You do very important work, Bugsaw
fireworks for me too.
sorry BR. I went to get a cup of tea.... I love my work
congrats, zoozzoom
Way to go Zoom
many thanks :-)
WOO HOO ZooZ
LOVE the poem BR. Where do you get your stuff. I always enjoy it.
I was reading about a school that utilized stations that emphasized different ways of learning. The students rotated and strengthened all methods.
LOL..i just read the poem too
I trot around various sites haphazardly.
so many kids do not fit the mold anymore- I think that is great BR ( and Bugs)
Good teachers do that anyway BR but I am not a teacher for all students. I love to focus on the ones who nobody else can get through to on one level or another.
You are a strong wonderful person Bugs!
May you be most successful, Bugsaw.
how kind of you to say DR. If I remember correctly, you have an orchid don't you?
anyone who raises orchids is a special person
YEs, he is a slight orchid
but an orchid all the same
I raise cane and hackles
LOL BR!! I bet you do;)
thanks BR. It just seems to be coming together now.
should be cain
I will probably love your cain and hackles too
takes a lot for me to raise hackles tho. maybe that is the trick
people who care are very important in a world so troubled.
yes they are BR
* What do termites eat for breakfast? * Oakmeal.

Happy Mother's Day, babble friends!
TRIF! How are yoU??? Happy mothers day to you
Hey there DR. Had a lovely day with my sister (kadresa) and her family, and my mom too. :)
Good for you! We have had a nice day as well
Will be seeing MIL in about 2 hours
is that you son in your icon?
yes - a couple of months ago was crazy tie day at school
wow,he looks WAY older than 10! is he tall?
his tie is peppy le pew the skunk
YEs, he is tall for his age ( about 5 foot) - looks alot like me
such a handsome boy! blessings to you today....
Hello, Fellow Babblers. Happy Mothers' Day to all!
Hi NEF!
and you, nef!!!
thank you Trif! and to you as well
Hi DR! How's lifetreating you?
yes, Nef- Happy mothers day to you as well
I am doing well Nef- thanks for asking. It has been a while
I have a brand new grandson, 8 days old, and he's making HIS mother into witch right now (according to my son)
is it their first baby?
hormones and lack of sleep can do that
yep. My son is 30, his wife is 23; and she won't ask for help as she thinks she's supposed to know it all already
hormones and lack of sleep is right. My son says he's got days and nights backwards
oh, poor girl. She is trying to fit to expectations she has for herself.....she will adjust, I promise!
I did
Jake would not feed right and it took me a week to realize that it did not matter how he got nourished as long as he did! It was a lightbulb moment
I sure hope so, this has been a miserable 1st Mothers' day for them! My son is ready to leave her! (He'd take the baby he says!)
they need help!
I know she wont take it but what about a friend or someone she trusts
she doesn't trust anyone right now. But I really don'twant to drag this chog down. How are all of you doing?
ok Nef- I am good - nice sunny day..
oh- brb- Jacob is calling
Happy Mothers' Day all you mothers. ..
Nef, don't worry - we have ALL been there. new babies are HARD. Tell your son to hold on, and help when he can. Someone has to gently tell her that moms all over the world ask for advice - look at all the childhood books out there! and there is no shame at ALL in asking
(((((((torgone)))))))))))
Hi torg. Thank you. Trif, on my Mothers Day card to her that I'd written in before I knew this, I'd written that parenting is the toughest job in the world and the baby doesn't come with an instruction manual.
oh-oh. I broke the chog! :-O
lol, nef, not at all - thought I would try to find some actual grid words. Foolish pursuit, really as I am pretty stuck
I am too, that's why I'm chatting. I only have 51 words and can't see anything else
same here - i am at 62 in, and feh
variant spelling (s) of the needle container. ca 4 is in the grid
ax -- an arouser that normally begins with ex
ex 5 is a word for the tribute to mothers
BR, you give great but obtuse clues. I appreciate that! :)
those who find the words themselves with brag it is al 4
BR, you always rise to the occasion!
will brag, not "with"
IT could also be a change in hormones as well as a lack of sleep NEF.. maybe your son isn't helping enough (according to you DIL)
HI ruru. My son is so in love with both baby and new mom. He's really done all of the cooking and cleaning for the past month. I think she's just a bit whacko right now (hormonal)
she should see her doctor... there are things that they can do.
BUT I refuse to be bossy or a pushy MIL and have offered help but have been turned down.
SOunds like he is doing all he can...
post partum depression
He is trying ....... How are you doing these days?
(it is also overwheming the first baby is a lot to handle)
I vote for being pushy. show up with a cooked meal, hold the baby so she can take a shower, and just be there. and maybe run a load of clothes. See if you can go to the grocery.
Trif, I did that already, cooked meals cleaned kitchen, my son went shopping while I was there.
You ARE a good MIL!!! I still vote for pushy. I would have loved me some pushy, myself
by the time we got around to having kids, both my mom and hubby's were dead.
wow.. how many kids do you have?
I would have liked some help too; which is why I try; but I don't want to push her away
ruru, I only have 2, had 2 miscarriages too. But had both of them after I was 30 yrs old
yes it would be wise to be careful if the two kids are fighting
calt
That is better isn't it after thirty> aren't you more able to handle all the work better at that age?
OOOPS! Sorry,
Just a whole lot ore tired after 30, ruru! :-D
Just a whole lot ore tired after 30, ruru! :-D
yeah I bet
happy mom's day to you nef.. bet you are a great mother
Sorry, trying a different keyboard, and it isn't working well
thanks ruru, I've tried hard to be a good Mom.
Parents get one go at it. There are no do-overs.
yeah and there is no training involved either.
so true, BR
I always wondered WHY we get instructionmanualswitheverything else EXCEPT the important things in life (ie: spouses, babies, etc.)
I tip my hat to Moms everywhere.
ty BR!
this grid is kind of like pulling te***, isn't it?
We got Dr Spock's instruction manual in my day -- hi all!
does vulcan greeting to Jilli
Hi jilli! Happy Mothers day to you too! Yeah, therewere afew books back then, now there are tons of books that all disagree with each other.
hi ruru -- have you just been to see Star Trek?
NO.. I thought you said Mr. Spock..lol
oh, me thick
ROFL
eventually saw the logic
speaking of Star Trek, did anyone see the History channel program yesterday about getting all the Star Trek stuff ready for auction? It was so cool!
no, didn't see it. The new film is playing here now in our lone movie theatre
anyone need clues? I finished earlier while lurking
the ax 5 and 6 are bugging me
I am lost

Hi Gwen.
nothing special, gwen, and how's by you awreddy?
just got back from seeing the new star trek movie. much better than most
does vulcan greeting for Gwen....
does mind meld and finishes grid in 30 seconds . . . not!
we were just talking about star trek, as you may have noticed. I loved the original Rodenberry TV shows.
^ --- not a trekker, but hey, anything with a spaceship in it and I'm game
vitle
hungry, sorry
what I liked about it was that it was not all WAR and had a sense of humour
need a double t there gwen
History Channel had a program on last night about how they were getting things ready for a huge auction at Christys' and it was fascinating to see how they researched and chose the different item
plus now they have new young actors and can make 8 more movies with 'em lol
go up the other way, gwen, and change the last 2 letters
nef, theme of auction?
ty got that one all ready
it was ALL of the star Trek items, from the TV shows to the movies, costumes and everything
oooh little rubber eartips!
things to do -- back in a bit...
yep, including those.
of course i would love to have a souvenir of my favorite tv show . . . too poor though
They had thousands of costumes through all of the shows and movies but were only going to auction off certain ones that would be most sought after. They didn't say what they were doing with the rest of the costumes
***packs up tribble for gwen ***
no, no, i said my fave tv show : Doctor Who !! 8-)
but hey tribbles are cute too
(separating my dalek from my tribble just in case)
i once was an a fan con auction and bid on a costume from Blakes 7 . . . didn't win
Gwen, did it go really high? I used to like that show.
Hi all. Any clues for the el 6?
there's an el6? (sorry, no help here)
e+li5/12
an el response
to pull out information from someone
ty Nef, et al
ah, TY
the Blakes 7 costume went to about $500 iirc
i dropped out at $100. (later in same auction I got a publication signed by Jon Pertwee, $35)
hi babblers
Wow, That's a lot more than I thought it would be. It didn't seem to have a big following here (that I'm aware of). So many people would look at me like I was nuts when I talked about it.
howdee fuqu
Hi fuquay
this was at the big Chicago convention. probably if it were in Detroit i could have got it for $100
Blakes & was never broadcast in Detroit. I saw it on tapes at a friend of a friend. then later bought the home video on vhs
laxative, so close!
That's too bad, Gwen. I wonder now how much that the Star trek stuff will bring in? They said they had something like 40 years of stuff they were sorting through....
howdy everyone;)
corss, wazaaaaap??

Oh, and thanks to you too BabbleRabble.
Nite GA!
So why does a logical word not work in this grid when the letters are right next to each other?
have ac x3 and as, at, and axx3, what am i missing please
depends, avaneko. is it a proper noun? are you using a letter more than once?
because logic and enable are alienated
al 4
al 4
(enable is the dictionary the grid uses)
{snap} BR!
There is an al 4 almost like what you give to the poor but change the last letter to a vowel
ty
how can te 5/20 be a word?? Isn't it a noun
see babble's comment about logic and enable, weiik
I am totally blanking on TE 4/5...the one just before the Lone Star state.
thxks
NM! Just monkeyed it!

problem is I am still finding fish I was sure I already had lol
...and sadly I found a few that were fishies
Hi all. Listening to the third of a triple cd of 70s music. Hope you all enjoyed the grid today (and I bet the first word most of you saw was 'sex', LOL).
that's what I found, too, cherly
Where was it Mother's Day? I saw it in the chog earlier.
would they still have been fishies if you had not found them?
well, it is rather obvious, jac * giggle *
here in the US of A!
It's Mother's Day here in the US
Ah, right. Thanks Une.
they wouldn't have remained lost, BR :)
not sure br
also was Mother's day in Australia!
brb - going to find something for dinner...
hope you all had a wonderful mothers day as i did
hey, sammysmom :-)
all my babies came bearing gifts
YAY pini and hi Jac! stepped away for just a sec to proofread (good thing, too), and here you-all are!
hi uni
Pink - it's one of those words that stands out, just like hearing your own name across a crowded room. LOL
HI Stid.
Hello gang!
hi jil
pini, I listed at 50, in the interests of time. I still feel SO far behind. WHY must we hold school when it's flu season? I can never keep up when I am ill.
Hi jilli.
Hello dear Jill! how's your weekend? I just finished one paper, have time later and tomorrow to get the next draft of the other ready.
hey, jilli!
Belated Happy Mother's Day to those in the parts of the world celebrating it now.
sorry you're still under the weather, stid
thanks, jacs :-)
Have you got the flu, stid? I am NOT, NOT, NOT getting a cold. I refuse to. This scratchy throat is in my imagination.
Stid - I hope you're not going 'Atchoo! OINK!'?
Stidkids are excited to come up and see you next month, but not sure yet exactly when. My classes start up again June 22
Anyone need clues?
back
I haven't got the flu, but still recovering from a rather nasty headcold (I rarely get them) that went into my lungs (also rare) and now lingers as a sinus infection. Yes, Jac, more OINK than atchoo though
Not me, Jilli. Finished hours ago.
evening, jacula
hi, jill
hi DC
Stid - sinus infections are painful. Other Half had that not long ago.
Hi dcs.
Well, I should get this bibliography done. Would I be peculiar if I later use this paper as a jumping-off for a more detailed piece on the local history? It just feels so incomplete, but I lacked the energy to do my best.
Still, I am sure it's good enough for an A. I hope.
I say go for it, stid!
not peculiar, resourceful and recycling.
Stid - if you can use something you've already done as a jumping off point, I'd say go for it.
thanks Pini, then I shall. It's really tied in to my current obsession with the local history... and would be a great resource (if done properly) for local teachers.
anyone else watching monk?
Stid -- I have a ticket for Oklahoma at Chemainus on June 20 (matinee) with my small group. If you want to join us please let me know soon
thanks all!
Not me, red.
just consider the first draft, the Reader's Digest version of the complete work!
okay, back to work. see you-all again soon, probably tuesday... *giggling at reader's digest remark*
poison ti4 lOL
*poof*
*hoping stid saw my post be4 poofing*
*emailing her just in case*
thanks jill, I don't think that will work, but will ask Mother and the boys what they can do. *fades out again*
good backup, jilli
Just read your note about the mother's day icon, jilli, about how we should be grateful for the good ones.
its a very good monk.
Ironic really, considering a young girl I know got told today that her Mum doesn't want her any more; would prefer something/someone else.
http://tinyurl.com/ow7zgv <--- several of you will enjoy that musical pun post about the unincorporated town i live in that is overseen by 2 levels of Home Owner Associations, the lower level of which is called a Cluster.
serious, jac? how sad!
Just listening to Rod Stewart's 'Maggie May' on my cd now.
oooh dc. i have a similar hoa...
nice, jac. sorry to hear, red. :)
Pink - v. serious. And it's me who's going to be picking up the shattered little angry, hurt, rebellious and upset pieces.
well, at least I dont live there anymore.
could I please have a clue for the et 5, 18?
Jacula, thats nuts.
why's that, jac?
trif, needlcase
et5 = needle case?
Just hope my skill at puzzles will help me glue all the piece firmly back in place.
Pink - she's my stepdaughter, or would be if I was married toher Dad.
does she live with her dad?
hint for last TE5, pls?
how old is she?
te5 = lone star state
dcs - cowboy state.
had not a clue that THAT would be a word.
Pink - no, she live with her Mum and her b'f.
oh, missed the A. ty, jac
Pink - she's 14.
I would think, after this new development, that might change?
Gads, i can't even imagine her having to stay with a mum that doesn't want her... sooooo sad
alabaster has ahold of my right wrist, and just groomed my hand and my watch
Pink - I'm going to have to do my best to be her stand-in Mum. I've been with her Dad for the past 6 years. She calls me her '2nd Mum', but I don't think either of us ever imagined I'd have to be her one and only.
are they both all shiney now, seain?
well, part of my hand's a bit raw, as i'm less hairy than he is :)
hi all :)
12 left
jac, thank god you are in her life -- she will really need you now.
Well (if not too offensive)...happy mother's day, jac! :)
hiya, jess
I didn't mean to say all that when I came in here. Said too mucu, but my heart was just bursting with the sadness and horror of it all.
cute, seain
hey jes
no worries at all, jac!!!
glad you shared...
Pink - *ironic smile*, I wasn't planning to become a Mum again at 52, with grown-up kids of 22 and nearly 25, but that's life...
...even a little encouragement/support from those around the world in words is better than nothing!
I hear you there, jac...but things happen...my girls are 22.5 and 26 (as of 2 days ago)...
el6 please?
jac, wish you the best, sounds horrid.
I'm still trying to get my head and heart around how any mother can DO that!
...I didn't plan on becoming a GM at 40 and raising my GD only to have my sibling decide that my GD would be better off with them...
el6 - to wangle information out of?
thanks, jac
Pink - that's a real b*gger. Life's twists and turns are sent to try us.
...so I had my girls, was raising my GD, and lost my entire family (parents and siblings) when she was taken.
...and, sadly, my GD only lives 15 blocks away and my sister does not allow me to see/talk to her unless she is present...
How? Lost rest of family, Pink?
* gulp...now look who's said too much *
That's really, really sh*tty, Pink.
I raised my GD from birth to 6 yo...my sisters (2) talked my daughter (teenage mom) into giving my GD up for adoption...
People are very strange - other people, that is. Not we Babblers. We're human, fallible therefore, but loving, giving, caring and supportive.
...to my sister ~ and the rest of the family decided if I was going to be sad about it, they didn't want to know...
...so they simply don't talk to me anymore.
Oh God, Pink. That's awful.
Oh no, off topic, but Wildfires are starting up againin Florida. and near to me. sort of frustrating, we need rain.
How we all hide the sadness in our lives mostly. Doesn't hurt to show it at times, though.
il8,55 please?
there is nothing wrong with a good chat about things.
Red - I'll try to send you some of our rain.
I suppose that's life...so, I now PICK my family (whether it be online or just my 2 girls, GD, new SIL and pending GS)
il8 = sick + n***** american indian
sorry to hear about the fires, red!
thanks, pini!
yw
il10 is the adverbial form.
TY Pini for that clue.
CD is now playing 'Stuck in the Middle' by Stealer's Wheel.
ix?
on a good note...spent my mother's day in the yard...spent 3 hours picking up stepping stones at the DIY store, clearing the space, and spraying the weeds for Koda's new play space.
the ix5 of the book
ix + lit*** house on the prairie
or ix5
Next up is Roxy Music's 'Love Is The Drug'.
thanks pini
Not giving clues, btw, 'cos Pink's doing it admirably.
...hopefully, I'll be able to finish next weekend if it doesn't rain.
* blush * sorry if I stepped on clue-toes!
fat, hairy chested men should not go on television without a shirt. Eeek!
So, I'm juust giving you the background music track. LOL
Pink - not at all! You carry on.
I vote for a clue-off, like a dance off, as I need 54 clues!!!
LOL red.
plenty-o-ti4, red!!!
I'm the DJ tonight and Pink is the cluer.
But I really would like some sleep, having got up at 4:30 ....
what we should try sometime is to clue as creatively as possible (with the idea that someone else will not have thought of it)
horrified at the cruelties I just saw in the chat when scrolling back on re-arrival. What a Mothers' Day set of memories!
IL8/55?
il8 = sick + n***** american indian
il10 = turn th il8 into an adverb (or add stick and sometimes vowel)
sorry, jilli
Thanks Pink!
yw chloe
Hi again, jilli.x
that's firewords for me :) Thanks jac and Pini for cluesticking me about the head :)
wtg jes!
Pini -- don't YOU be sorry! Hugs to you!
ROFL!
Well done, jess.
have a good night all. hope things get less stressful for you all
oh, gosh, thx jilli ;)
night jes
YAY jess!
congrats, jess!
Track now playing is 'Remember the days i the Old Schoolyard' by Cat Stevens.
jac, you have great taste in music :)
cat stevens has a new name
I believe his name now is Yusef.
He did have a new name, but he's Cat Stevens again now. LOL
really? how long did the other name last?
Well, I have to get supper, watch 60 Minutes, diddle around, and go to PBS for Wallander at 9pm, which doesn't end until half an hour after the flip. BUT, I've read the book, so I hope to be here for it.
(I only learned about it a few months ago)
Years and years and years, Pink.
hb jilli!
oh, guess I'm a bit slow...
njoy, jilli
Enjoy your supper, jilli.
I just tried towatch Wallander Jilli, I had not read the book and it didnt hold attention.
Glad to hear Cat Stevens is again a Cat.
was lucky enough to see cat stevens in '72 in a small theatre, still have nice memories of that
(I should go check on my dinner and take Koda to the backyard for a moment...brb)
weiik - was that in UK?
hm. the cats smell something outside that i cannot smell. it woke 2 of them up
Track playing now is 'Meet Me On The Corner' by Lindisfarne.
Like Cat Stevens, but not old enough to have seen him in Concert. My Favorite is "Longer Boats"
Hello all
jac, it was at the academy of music in Phila, PA
I love, love, love Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam. At my funeral I want "The Wind" played.
My cat trapped a mouse under a plastic drain cover earlier. He was trying to flip the cover up to get at the mouse and so I put half a housebrick on top of it. However, the stupid mouse squeezed out under a small gap right in front of the cat and that seald its fate.
ooh baby baby it's a wild world
Hi Doren
weiik - I saw him here in UK back in the 70s.
yay for nature running its course
hi, dorens and scrabbs
Dorens - Yes indeed. I also remember Jimmy Cliff covering that.
hi all... decompressing after a world wind non-stop day!
Hi Scrabbs.
jac, did he have an 12 piece group of wind instruments with him, tea for the tillerman?
oh, btw, 9 days, and knock wood, i've not broken the temporary crown.
Hope it was a nice day Dorens. a variety of people have not had very nice Mom's days.
Track now playing is 'Standing in the Road' by gorgeous blond twins Blackfoot Sue. The only song I ever learned to play the bass line on guitar for. LOL
good job DcS.
jac that is an incredibly gorgeous george picture --- yah red it was a nice day, just a bit hectic and rushed, but nice over all
weiik - I'll check. I have both the LP and the cd somewhere.
I was playing with kittens of a feral cat when visiting in my aunt & uncle's home this weekend. There are 5 kittens, about 3-4 wks old, and I bought kitten food and placed water. I spoke to the neighbor who will bring the kittens and parents to the SPCA this week. The kitties are SO cute, especially the runt.
Dorens - forgot I'd still got the GG icon.
perm crown to be installed on the 22nd.
nice, scrabbs
jac, I mean during the concert, here he sat on a ss
Scrabbs, are you going to get a kitten with the rabbits?
hard to take my eyes off of it, jac. but then again. it isn't a recent pic, is it?
my cats get on with my rabbit. the rabbit's even bonded with Feldspar to point he's excited to see her
Seain--I went through that about 15 months ago--$1200 adventure.
ah scrabs, kittens are darned cute, aren't they?
I like Jimmy Cliff.
stool during much of the show, until tea for the tillerman, a curtain came up, lights went down, music burst out, everybody stood and clapped
1200 is a bargain. i needed an implant and it was over 5 X that... so be glad it was just a crown
Track now playing - Mungo Jerry 'Baby Jump'.
Nope, red, but I sure considered it. Those stray kittens were adorable and I spent a lot of time with them. They are living in a shed behind the fence. Two are quite friendly and I cuddled them up.
my out-of-pocket thus far has been 486, including drugs and 4 temporary crowns.
old crown just broke off, with most of the tooth, not enough left to crown again
Weiik - wasn't at the concert. Sorry.
I have a lot of trouble saying no to animals. very very cute.
Dorens - that's happened to me twice recently with molars. I'm still being electrified by the remains of one at present.
I am seeing my dentist tomorrow AM as I fear my tooth needs to be pulled after years of troubles--root canal, crown, new crown last year, apicoectomy almost 1 yr ago due to failed root canal, now pain...next step is implant. About $5000, Doren?
Scrabbs is it an important tooth? I fnot, I'd just get rid of it.
actually 6, but this is an expensive dentist who doesn't accept what delta offers, scrabbs
Red, my aunt told me calmly about the mother cat and kittens and I went into animal rescue mode. I put out water, bought food, checked on them many times.
Next step for me, Scrabbs, if the tooth doesn't settle down is extraction. That'll leave with 3 lower molars missing and a yet-again cracked jaw. I have rubbish te5/12 but very strong roots.
It is the second last molar on lower right. It originally cracked with a head injury in Nov 1981.
Well, scrabbs, if you get it pulled, no one will know...
Track now playing is 'The Ressurection Shuffle' by Ashton, Gardner & Dyke. Great track!
I don't think I can have a space there--bad for other te5 and jaw bone.
teeth are definitely not my strong suit, and obviously not for other babblers... is there a correlation between good word skills and rotten teeth?
My teeth are quite good, but my babble stats arent.
Te5 just wear out over time.
Dorens - I wonder?
ooh, red and i are to the pb!!
I was saying to my dentist last week that I hope we evolve to grow a 3rd set of te5 now we're all living longer.
there is a correlation between drinking bottled water and weak te5
Ooops. well, lets have ice cream.
hear, hear jac!
ice cream would be lovely.
Oooh, I dont dirnk very much bottled h2o..
makes sense jac, but by the time evolution has gotten there, don't know what will be left here
Well, its DOrnes and I , dc, if you want some, you have to drop a different word!!!!!
I ate so much great Italian food when visiting the Italian relatives in Utica. And we went to an authentic Italian store with baked goods, cheeses, etc. Heaven!
sounds fun Scrabb.
Suzi Quatro - Devilgate Drive now playing.
my aunt anne and uncle simon owned a chicken farm in utica, scrabbs. i hve cute pictures of my sister and i holding egg baskets after visiting the chicken coops!
My mother and her siblings are first generation Italian-Americans.
oh, SORRY.. my sister and ME (can you tell how much great bordeaux wine i was just drinking at dinner?)
bbs.
Really, Doren? My mother grew up on the east side, where all of the Italian immigrants settled.
my friend Elizabeth, her parents are from Palermo, Sicily. Her uncle makes a very nice goats-milk Parmesan
i ihave no idea where this was scrabbs, just know it was definitely a farm house. havent' been there in many years, and they passed away a long time ago
My mother's father grew up on Sicily, near Mt Etna <----Babblet alert!
they were jewish.. don't know how many jewish chicken framers there were
any Smiroldos in your family, scrabbs?
The reason for the visit was my uncle (mother's brother-in-law), age 86, with end-stage prostate cancer. It was sad to see him.
Nope, Ubertos and Mondos.
And Prumos
oh, sorry scrabbs. but good to see him while he is still alive. yes?
evening all
hi mark
hi, mark
Hi Mark.
Sicily is on my list of places to visit. Have to see the Babblet after all. LOL.
Yes. He always thought he would live the longest of the 4 folks in Utica. the others are 86, 87 and 89.
wouldn't that be a agreat spot for a babble meetup?
indeed t'would, dorens
I still have family there, in Sicily, as 3 of my grandfather's sibs stayed behind. One of my cousins visited about 16 yrs ago.
Dorens - sure would! Photo of grou arund edge of crater.
Sorry for my typos. It's 3.34am here.
and from then on, every time the volcano appeared in the grid, one of us would have to post that photo as icon!!
Track now playing 'I Love Rock & Roll' by The Arrows.
no need to apologize, typos just make the reading more challenging!
**tooth is aching now...waaaahh*
la6 hint, pls?
Oh LOL, Dorens, I thought you meant Utica, not Etna. LOL.
ahhhh, poor Scrabbs!
typos are expected
Dorens - Yes! That would be brilliant.
lol red.. utica is just not that interesting
I am so sick & tired of this problem tooth #30.
Well, I was wondering Dorens....
time for the pain to disappear one way or the other, scrabbs
ds - la6 is looseness or carelessness.
Uses high point tile.
cool, i needed that one thanks jac
Red, Utica does have the annual historic Boilermaker run every summer!
Scrabbs - same here re molar.
am down to 11, and struggling
Whooo Hooo!
its so hot here, If I want to do any racing it will be in NY...
root canal fixed 31 for me :)
Track now playing Hello's 'New York Groove'.
LOL Red - that was ti4'd well.
;)
ty, jac
Seain, #30 was in the 5% of failed root canals, thus apicoectomy last July for $1200 with 75% chance of it working. I fear not now and the idea of more pain and spending $5000 for an implant is sad.
y/w dcs.
Last track on this cd - 'Rock On' by David Essex.
scrab do you have any dental insurance?
Since I played 3rd cd first, we've still got 2 to go. LOL
Nope, but our group looked into a plan and it sucked.
my dentist quoted me 6k for 2 root extractions, a bone graft, 2 post and crown
A friend paid $5000 here for a molar last year. And, geez, right when I am getting ahead financially.
i have terrific insurance. covered 90% root canal, 60% crown prep
You are very lucky, Seain!!
Less pain with dental insurance.
And, if I'm still standing (or rather sitting and typing) after that I might play the pirates and wenches cd my daughter gave me today - Alestorm's 'Captain Morgan's Revenge'.
I'm just a humble and frightened pawn in the UK NHS dental 'service'.
Poor Jac.
insurance really makes a difference. my plan isn't terrific, but even if it pays 50% that is a lot if the cost is 6,000.. unfortunately, it didn't think this was necessary, not at my dentist's prices, so it cost me a bundle!
*almost halfway*
I have 43 left and am really frustrated at the grid. tired too!
2nd cd on now. 1st track is David Cassidy with 'How Can I Be Sure?'
Yahoo, I passed halfway and can go to bed now. I needed to relax after the weekend out of town and away from Babble. Good luck to all trying to finish. I will see you tomorrow.
Sleep well, Scrabbs.
Check this out, Red: http://www.boilermaker.com/
Looks like I might be the only one standing at the end of my cd playing. LOL
I assume you know the tracks I'm playing?
It's 15 K, Red--huge event.
Davbid Cassidy of The Partidge Family fame?
That's the guy, Scrabbs.
g'night scrabbs
He was never a pin up of mine, but I did love the 'Brown Eyes' track.
Callie Bunny died 1 yr ago today. I am watching Miss Bea stretched out in front of me.
Bye kids.
Oh heck! Track now playing is 'Let Me In' by the shiny toothed Osmonds.
5 left and no list
go cherly.!
Scrabbs - ((hugs)) re Callie.x
Doing well there, cher.
night scrabs (was busy trying to finish this game) and condolences on the anniversary
Now do you see why I played the 3rd cd first? LOL
impressive cherly. and sorry, jac but I don't recognize your music
Track now playing - 'I'll Be There' - Jackson Five.
i see why, jacula
that's a real nice one, that.
oh, I do know that one!
Dorens - did the 70s pass you by musicwise?
LOL, thanks 'eavens for that, Dorens.
yup. busy with babies. loved traffic in those days though. john barleycorn must die
dcs - glad you see why.
Dorens - much of the mid to late 80s music passed me by for the same reason. After all, I had a baby son who could only be lulled to sleep by hearing Jimi Hendrix played LOUD.
and how did he turn out? are you experienced?????
I've had enough of the 70s now., Going to put the cd my daughter gave me into the slot.
Dorens - he appreciates good rock music.
AArgh! I'll put the Alestorm cd on when I can get the stupid plastic wrapper off it. GRR!
and firewords with the ac alcohol trio!
8attacks8 plastic with what's left of her te5.*
as well he should. i have to say ii like my kids' taste in music for the most part. some of the new stuff isn't mine, but then again there should be some differences, I respect that. I mostly like jazz and classical these days, with occasional great rock thrown in, and r & b
yay dc?
Well done dcs, *spitting out small pieces of plastic as I say that*.
ty dorens and jacula
clue for the te7 please?
Dorens - Alestorm is a band my daughter went to see not long ago and I loved what I heardm so she got me the cd, which I will play if I can get the bloody plastic wrapper off it.
i will try to look out for it then jac. alestorm is certainly an interesting name
Dorens - 'tis the hor for the English breakfast drink. te7.
around 3:00 in england
wondering about that hor, jac. thanks. got it.. firewords here
sleepy and going to bed... cheers, everyone... see you tomorrow
Tracks on the cd are: Captain Morgan's Revenge, The Huntmaster, Nancy the Tavern Wench, Death before The Mast, Terror on the High Seas, Set Sail and Conquer, Of Treasure, Wenches & Mead, Of Scotland.

Renfield would LOVE this cdmwher she here to listen to it. So would Nut.
Alestorm were originally formed as a power/folk/metal band back in 2004 in Perth, Scotland and were called Battleheart to begin with.
Anyway, I can see I'm the only one loving their music now, so I will depart to listen to it in private.

Listening Jac .. I like it ..
It's just the same, cptn Jack Sparrow. Enjoy!
Torg - Hi! Funny, I was just thinking of you re the music.
Really?
Yes, you're one of the Babble Pirates.

Sorry for delay in replying - I was just drooling over JD as Cpn Jack Sparrow in my last link. LOL
Cher - what do you need?
Trac now playing 'Nancy the Tavern Wench' by Alestorm.
Putting the finishing touches on dinner ..
http://tinyurl.com/r7r62r
Torg - what's for dinner?
Chicken paprikash ..
Waiter...
Heh .. I know a girl named Nancy who would make a great tavern wench ..
There is too much Pepper in my Paprikash but I would like to Partake of your Pecan Pie
I always forget how long it takes .. Hence finally eating at 8:30 ..
The key is to use Hungarian paprika ..
the key is to have seen "When Harry Met Sally".
Late to eat, Torg - but we ate about then last night.
Hursh - the 'I'll have what she's having' scene?
no, the scene in the museum where they do the funny voices
Ah.
although kara, the new judge on american idol, did a very good impression of the other scene this week after adam sang.
Track now playing: http://tinyurl.com/obvxyt
Nancy the Tvern Wench: http://tinyurl.com/ca7ctb
Did she, Hursh? That must have been amusing to watch.
Was Adam THAT good?
amusing, disturbing, potayto, potahto...
Or was she being ironic?
he's an amazing singer and performer. just, not all of us get brought to orgasm by music. i think you have to be in the business to get off on it.
nobody says potahto
Hursh - you don't have to be in the business, I assure you.
Not that've I've seen, whatshisname.
ok, well, i like music fine, but, i don't have that kind of a passion for it, that's all.
You just have to let go and go with the music.
I don't think this is necessarily a music site
everyone has different passions.
I get chills sometimes ..
That's true, Hursh.
chacun à son gout
..from a good song ..
me, i get chills when i see aragorn push open those huge doors in "the two towers".
Hursh - what are our passions?
our passions are those things which make us feel alive.
Torg - I think seeing bands live is the key to getting the chills when listening later.
ok, I'll shut up, not that anyone will notice
Hursh, I meant what are your passions. My 'y' key got stuck.
jilli - I will notice.
i appreciated the french translation, jilli!
oh, i haven't really got any. that's why i don't generally find life worth living. but, you know, if you're not lucky enough to find a passion, you just have to muddle through as best you can.
Of course everyone has their own taste, I just wanted to know what Hursh's are.
Not necessarily - Some music just evokes a physical reaction ..
Sh*t, Hursh, you sound like my stepdaughter. Thing is you are a lot older than she is. Life IS worth living and you should take pleasure in the small things which leads on to other stuff.
i take pleasure in the small things. it's just that they aren't... IN me... if that makes any sense. i enjoy them and then when they aren't there, i'm empty again.
I guess, as a poet, writer , lyricist and artist from an early age, it might be 'easier' for me to stand staring at a gorgeous leaf or something for 5 minutes, and maybe even go off and make money writing about it.
What about your cats? You sing to/about them .. That's passion ..
Track now playing, Set Sail & Conquer: http://tinyurl.com/qe88y7
"Wenches and Mead" over here ..
Torg - glad you're enjoying the album. Great aren't they?
fe6/33?
feudal oath of loyalty
yes, of a sort. it's my own fault, really, that i haven't got more life in me, i just don't put in the effort required. sometimes i think it's because i want to feel deeply and yet i don't at the same time cause i'm exhausted of it. so i keep things at bay. there's always a trade off.
stupid lengthening of of fe4 (of stength etc) or oath of allegiance. There are two of the b*ggers.
Thanks!
Hursh - you only get one crack at this shitty life, unless the Buddhists are right.
i know jac, but what can i do? muddle along, hope i figure something out someday, that's about the best i can figure.
Track now playingg, 'Of Treasyre' by Alestorm:http://tinyurl.com/q8w48z
it's like saying to someone, "be funny, right now." it can't be forced.
Hursh - you remind me of my son when you say that, but he does have his passions. I hope you do, too.
many refuse to accept responsibility for their lives like Lincoln said: “Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.â€
I hope you don't think I'm getting at you, 'cos I'm not. I just feel that everyone deserves to feel something right through their heart, their bones and nerves.
HI BR.
HI BR.
i accept the responsibility, but i also can only do what i can do. i think there's an extent to which you have to be patient with yourself.
Don't talk to me about people refusing to accept responsibility.
Both you and Hursh will have to dig back into the chog to see why I'm so upset about people not taking responsibility tonight.
I've just been going with the flow -- and speaking of music, here's my firebird (refresh if you like)
hehehe
hmm, i think i'll go to bed, instead. cheers.
good night, hurshy

Oh dear. I hope my upsetness and my fine-tuned nerve for music etc hasn't driven Hursh away.
jac, I'm listening to music/programmes of my choice now, tyvm
Fair enough, jilli. I'm listening to Queen now.
I've always been a Rock Chick (not of the smpering blonde sitting atop the shoulders of some guy in the audience variety) and I make no apologies for that.
I did go to tha Alestorm link to see what pleases you, but sorry, not my thing by a long shot
You can tune in or not, as you please, to the track links I make on here.
Exactly, lol!
But I'm not going to bpost a link to the Firebird Suite
Jilli - I didn't think it would be and that's fine. My tastes are ecletic but rock is my first love.
Why not, jilli?
you're of another generation, jac, and each to his/her own
Sorry jilli, I'm being chippy with you but it's not you, it's what's been going on in life recently, especially yesterday.
because it would take so long to enjoy and this is not the place for it
Hey, the chippy thing happened to me and Other Half earlier on a larger scale.
Okay, jilli - send it me via e-mail. I promise I WILL listen.
jac, I got a glimpse when I came back here, but will have to go to the full chat log to see the whole sad stories.
jilli - do that, if you can spare the time. Pink's story is far worse than mine (so far).
Track now playing - Queen 'Killer Queen'.
I have to be a Killer Queen for at least the next 4 years minimum. I need to keep control of stuff.
Oh well, atleast I'll get fit again.
Anyway, everyone's gone now. Time to listen to music in private. See you all next grid.
