sorry about that

That is ok Zing i think youi hit the enter button too much

probably

Jill it is a pretty cake

2:22 am

I like your idea, herin, of keeping it up until sprite is back

I miss seeing her but I have been on odd hours

2:23 am

hi all

2:23 am

Hi MrsS

poor love

2:24 am

hello MrsS

2:24 am

Are there any ri's? Or only re's?

2:24 am

6 x re

2:24 am

no ri

2:25 am

6 re words, 1 rh

2:25 am

ty. I'm missing one.

wat does bane mean?

2:25 am

MrsS, do you know about Lickety's list?

2:26 am

I really want rehat to be a word. Bane is the worst part of something, or the downside - "the bane of my existance"

thx

2:26 am

I used to know, but now I've forgotten - can your remind me?

2:26 am

zingy, we don't put grid words in the chat. To get meanings, click on the ? beside the word

o

Hi Ms

2:26 am

Oh! And now I've done it too. Sorry

oops i didnt realise sorry

im not very clever

My cats are going nuts because they have free range of the house

ok sorry let me rephrase that. Every single room is open. rooms they are not allowed in and they are having a field day

g2g do lady macbeth for the school production

2:28 am

does anyone have a clue for ap7 please?

2:29 am

good luck zingy, hope it's a success

bye

no idea flossey

thx flosey

im just hope i dont forget my lines staring at the fit boy on stage who is playing macbeth

2:31 am

aha! I finally finished the rs. When I asked before about ri's, it didn't occur to me to ask about rh!

Ok that is it back to to the grind stone. Take care

2:35 am

MrsS, scroll down to Friends of Babble and you'll see Lickety's Babble Clues. Right-click and open it in a new window. It gives the first 2 letters of each word, the nuber of letters in it, and the score.

2:37 am

TY!

2:37 am

bye for now herin

2:38 am

3:49 am

how very cool

3:49 am

I need a clue for the et7 I think it is please

3:50 am

She is an excellent tarot reader. She does it on the phone. She has a website - www.psychic.devon.co.uk

3:50 am

in today's economy, i expect very poor would describe most fortunes

3:51 am

AIG is giving millions in bonuses again

3:51 am

She's never been so busy as she's been since the downturn started. Everyone wants to know if they'll keep their job, house, etc.

3:51 am

she gives them hope then

3:51 am

et6/21 is a gas, west -- there's no et7

3:51 am

thanks jilli

3:52 am

I'm sure he doesn, west

3:52 am

I meant, 'she does'. Oops!

3:52 am

had me wondering there lol

3:53 am

Citicorp (?) is giving 50% raises to their execs to make up for the lack of those bonuses. They should all be in jail.

3:53 am

I was starting on the r words and trying to type at the same time. Not a good idea. Cannot split brain at my age!

3:53 am

I agree with you, jilli.

3:53 am

wish she could read my fortunes or lack therof

3:54 am

well -- no clues needed? Have fun with the th words, heh heh

3:54 am

Email her and see if she can do you an email reading, Andree. I think she can.

4:59 am

Ahh, shift change.

5:00 am

Yeah.

5:00 am

How are you doing this morning?

5:01 am

Life is good. This grid is flowing much nicer than the evil grid of yesterday.

5:02 am

Really?

5:02 am

I'm a new Babbler, but I thought yesterday's was better.

5:03 am

Easier, I mean.

5:03 am

I should (in theory) do this list free. yesterday's was unpossible! :)

5:03 am

**Locked and loaded** Morning Lori ;) Hi neeta

5:04 am

Hi FM!

5:05 am

looks like Lori has run off :(

5:05 am

5:09 am

5:09 am

I only popped in for a mo to say Hi and I thought you had disappeared.

5:09 am

With the feathers on the outside.

5:09 am

That's all.

5:10 am

*removes feather from hair* not a good look for the supermarket.

5:10 am

could create envy in the poultry aisle

5:11 am

Ata is stopping by tomorrow a.m on her way up to her Mums. LOL

5:11 am

just found the in8!

5:11 am

Pretend it's a fancy hat, like the Queen would wear!

5:12 am

Ooh, that'll be fab FM! Enjoy, and give her a hug from me and Uni!

5:12 am

Yea Ehva!

5:12 am

will do, it will be good to see her again before she heads off to the US

5:13 am

and the th9. which builds on the th6 and was one of those "this can't be a word, but I'll try it" ones

5:13 am

Have to run but will be back in about an hour. TTFN

WOW! Got the 9. Muchos grassyass Ehva. Never woulda' got that voluntarily.....

5:19 am

don't know how you found it from what I said, but yw

5:19 am

It hasn't rained for two days in a row. I think that's the longest dry spell thus far this summer.

5:20 am

I looked for a stoopid not word 6 letter word lol

5:20 am

that's a large universe to whittle down

5:20 am

It's been exactly the same here Ehva, rain rain rain and more rain until now.

5:21 am

I guess we're part of the same northeastern weather system...I have to say I prefer it to 90's and humid, but if feels oddly like fall, and the garden is stunted.

5:22 am

And I don't think it will be good to head back into winter not having had summer.....we'll all get beri beri or something.

5:23 am

For awhile I thought I was gonna' mildew. There was no end in sight to the crappy weather

5:24 am

Good weather for mushrooms, mosquitoes, slugs, snails and earwigs.

5:24 am

Slugs! I've never seen as many slugs as I have this year.

5:24 am

I don't happen to be one of those, but have been thinking seriously about devolving

5:25 am

l o l

5:25 am

Do you know how hard it is to wash slug juice off of your hands?!!!

5:25 am

So, so gross......

5:26 am

but the earwigs are the worst!

5:26 am

such a cute name for something so degoutant!

5:26 am

***knocks on wood*** we've had a couple, and I do mean couple, but so far they've been pretty much absent.

5:28 am

18 left after the first sweep. Not bad, now the poopy part. :/

5:29 am

Hah! 17, forgot to extend ap 6 in to a 7

5:30 am

6:16 am

thanks!

6:17 am

bullying... take screen shots and keep records of every incidence. anything that constitutes a physical threat is actionable. inform appropriate authorities. if it is school kids, any use of a school machine to do the bullying should bee reported to the school and could result in loss of computer privilege which will get back to the parents and might result in suspension

May be back online in a couple of days

6:17 am

Bye herin

6:17 am

except..school is out for the summer it happened yesterday...no physical threats

6:18 am

stay off whatever website it happened on?

6:19 am

morning friends - suspending my nbt rule to ask carlee - what venue is the bully using? email, myspace, aim, FB?

6:19 am

facebook.?????

6:20 am

its on facebook....

6:20 am

what is the bully doing?

6:20 am

you can have your child un-friend the bully, after taking all the steps bonkler recommended. def. print out every single exchange, then unfriend or block the messages

report them Carlee you can report that person with a specific cut and past of it

6:21 am

and privacy settings should be set so that only friends can see the profile, much less post on wall.

6:21 am

if the bully is using a school facebook network to access your child, then it IS a school issue, whether school is in session or not

6:21 am

there the "gaggle of girls" that there is in every class... there are 2 girls that are "social outcasts"in the class for 2 diff reasons . ( My daughter NOT involved)

6:22 am

Point total anyone?

6:22 am

so those two girls are being targeted, then?

6:22 am

but the one girl cus is "neighbour kid" is on my friend list... so I am seeing the whole exchange courtesty of "new facebook"

6:22 am

how old are the kids?

you can set up a fake account in facebook to make sure that all privacy settings work. I have set mine up so you can only see my face and my name and wether you can add me as a friend

6:23 am

do you know the neighbor girls mom well enough to apprise her of this? she really and truly may not know it is happening.

6:23 am

the kids are about 12 ish ( going into grade 8 ) and they are RIPPING these 2 girls apart...socially...

6:24 am

1943 Lori

6:24 am

I've cut and pasted and emailed the exchanges to mum....

see you all in a couple of days

bye

6:24 am

yikes! what a hard age

6:24 am

Mercy Buckets!

6:24 am

oh, good for you carlee! that is an excellent place to start. offer her all of our suggestions, and I would have no problem letting the school know, summer or not

6:24 am

I was just wondering if anyone had some good advise that I can pass to mum if she should ask me...that all

6:24 am

do you know the girls, or just this one

6:24 am

bye herin!

6:25 am

oh..I know them both....I know them all...they all little bitches...

6:25 am

Bye herin. Sounds like you have done everything you can carlee.

Carlee privacy settings on facebook and making sure she doesn't have passwords that are common

6:25 am

is there maybe one in the group who seems nicer, less enthusiastic about the bullying?

6:26 am

The best defense against bullying, in my experience, is to ignore it, which takes serious self esteem. If I were you I would encourage your daughter to be nice to this girl and to try to stand up for her when it's appropriate

6:26 am

Though Facebook is stalking made easy, and adults and children alike are too free with access and info, bear in mind it's just oen avenue. Ending it on FB will not eliminate the mentality.

6:26 am

yes, but they are only bitches because they are testing waters, seeing where the boundaries are....they will kick and scream about getting found out, but really, they will learn a lesson here -- all of them -- about what is acceptable and what is not. The internet is new to them, and the perception of anonymity makes them feel more powerful and invisible than they are

6:26 am

Clues for he 6/21?

6:27 am

he 6, slang for 'yer butt!

6:27 am

If you know the parents of the offending girls, you could bring it to their attention also.

6:27 am

do you know any of the bully girls or their parents, their folks might like to know what they've been up to. also there was the case of the woman in the states who created an account to bully a kid who committed suicide and was charged and convicted. that case has been appealed. the idea that such behaviour might land them and their kids in court might help to get recalcitrant parents off the couch.

6:27 am

ummm...not really... ( and yes..she does.....she tries to hang out..but honestly has very little in common with her other then geography.....she lives 5 houses away....no similar interests at all..

6:28 am

i had a kid that i was tutoring at the school i used to work in, where all the boys in his dorm didn't like this one particular boy - they said he was alway

6:28 am

okay, carlee - but the important thing is for your daughter to stand up to any bullying, whether she is friends with the girl or not. That will a) send the general message that not everyone agrees with the opinions expressed by the bullies, and b) send the message that bullying is not okay

6:28 am

always being unpleasant to everyone and so they were unpleasant back

6:29 am

still stuck on he 6/21

6:29 am

so, i talked to the kid i knew and i encouraged him to just be super nice to this guy. every time he did something unpleasant, do something nice back.

6:29 am

mrs s - he +not out + two vowels

6:29 am

Im missing it too MrsS, if I find it I'll let you know

6:30 am

he 6, 'yer butt but sdpelt very vowel-ly :)

6:30 am

well, i think the main thing with bullying is that sometimes adults are only thinking about getting the behavior to stop by means of external punishments or controls, and there's really no reason why one can't aim for actually communicating with the kids and helping them learn empathy and improve as people.

9:53 am

Y'know, it's getting a little too cushy in that penalty box. I think we need to rough it up a little. Like sparkling wine instead of champagne, for starters.

11:22 am

Fritz Haag is my favorite.

11:22 am

ty ruru -- are they blends or varietals?

THE article, is what you use to specify whether you are talking about A specific thing, AN entire range of things, or THE specific thing

11:23 am

that'll help it sink in, josh...

11:23 am

thx for your patience all

take A break, A short nap, etc

sorry for bludgeoning the point, pini, but once you notice it it's hard to stop

11:25 am

I'm a teacher, but I teach math...don't know much grammar :)

11:25 am

no worries, josh...I'm afraid to find out, nan (I work at a uni with a bunch of language professors - one would think I would know this stuff)

1:20 pm

still missing one G here

1:20 pm

hello babble friends. taking a break from breaking my house down

1:21 pm

sledgehammering Trif?

Hi Trif, how is your finger?

1:22 pm

just cleaning, but a sledgehammer and flamethrower would not be inappropriate -- esp primo's room, and Secondo's hideaway, aka "the crypt"

1:22 pm

better red, thanks, looks like I am keeping the end of it, so that is good good good news!

yes I agree good news.

1:22 pm

oh my, what happened to your finger???

1:23 pm

i really suck at doing things left handed - should I have a stroke later in life, I am DONE FOR

1:23 pm

crushed my right index finger, nrkii. it's not pretty, I don't recommend it.

I have to say Trif,my only blessing about my hand injury was that it was my left. Had it been my right I would be working an entirely different job right now.

And it does suck...like trying to use a can opener, or put o n a bra...

1:25 pm

glad to hear that, red! Yes, bras are a particular challenge (insert joke from Tor here....), but the worst part has been doing dishes.

1:25 pm

oh, btw red, I went to a seminar about finding jobs yest, and the speaker was singing the praises of local business women networking groups, toastmasters, and the like. have you/do you agree?

I used dish washer, as I had pins.nogetting i t wet forforever.

I also cut off all my hair, because i couldnt put i t in a pony tail....

1:26 pm

ouch to both of you!

1:27 pm

*wakes up* Huh? ..

nrkii, this was a while ago for me, my left hand is operational, ,but not as it used tobe, but Iamg rateful for a world class surgeon and Hand therapist...

1:27 pm

lol tor - knew that would get your attention!

1:28 pm

how does one crush a finger? car door?

1:28 pm

paving stones -- i was, quite literally, between a rock and a hard place

Oooow trif.

1:29 pm

wow, I'm glad I asked... I'm accident prone, and I just helped a neighbor with their paving stones a few weeks ago

1:29 pm

yeah, that's pretty much what i said

I fell while running so nrkii, you just have to sit still...

1:30 pm

I'm much more likely to do something with a car door though... when I'm not paying attention... or slam the trunk down on my hand... stupid accidents are more my style

1:30 pm

haven't been out to the pond since - should prob check on the fish. bit of an abuse situation really

1:30 pm

anyway, red -- do you have an opinion on business networking groups?

Fish will be fine, lots of bugs.

1:30 pm

I am hesitant to attend, since I have no job and present, and precious little idea of what I would do if I had one

1:31 pm

at present, even

trif, I really don;t know much about those things, given my job....

1:31 pm

okay, thanks -- just sort of threw it out there

1:32 pm

Trif, I don't think you need to have a job to feel comfortable in one of those groups... but you do need to know what you're "positioning yourself" as

someone else, Lurkerz? Torgie?

1:32 pm

I have a few friends who have been in toastmasters, and they loved it

1:33 pm

so, i am guessing "clueless" wont' gain me much traction then, eh? I thought maybe it would be good for me to listen to the other women there, to get a sense of what seems exciting, or sparks an interest in me

1:34 pm

good point Trif, that might prove helpful

1:35 pm

that and I am lazy -- maybe someone would meet me and be so enchanted with me they would know a job I was just perfect for, and boom, problem solved. could happen.

1:35 pm

Don't know much about it, but any kind of networking will usually be helpful in some way ..

1:35 pm

help with my missing O... I have og, op, ot

1:35 pm

it could happen, Trif... lol

1:35 pm

missing an op mrkii

1:36 pm

1:37 pm

shoot, I have to get this thing finished soon... company coming in an hour, and I haven't finished cleaning

Are you looking for a job trif?

1:37 pm

i think so, red, yes

1:38 pm

Trif, did you get the Georgetowners? ho4/7

Have you read an older book, "What color is your parachute?" its a helpfulbook for "clueless"people.

1:38 pm

yes -- my parachute is many clueless colors. also tried "the pathfinder"

Oh goodness.

Well, go for the one that makes the most cash that you are qualified for, or can get qualified for quickly.

1:39 pm

ooh that is the one I am missing nrkii! well done you! now to find it....how embarrassing to miss a 4!

(he he he, thats how I became a Nurse.)

1:40 pm

nursing would be an amazing option for me here in massachusetts, where they are desperate for them, but I have NO skills or inclination in that area, unfortunately. Apparently it skips a generation -- BOTH my parents are doctors!

1:43 pm

------------->pondering the sound of falling in everyone's esteem

No issue, trif, its a very difficult job at times, I am so grateful these days that I did it, given the economic times.

1:44 pm

Because you aren't inclined to be a nurse? Silly ..

but there are days I would not wish it on anyone.

1:46 pm

no way Trif

1:47 pm

ha ha ha...anyway, have to run and collect tertiare from rec camp. last day already -- boy that week flew! BBL to bury last 40. moochas smoochas!

Drive safe Trif, glad you get to keep all of the finger!

1:49 pm

3:29 pm

jeez, are there 15? i have 14 so far . . .

3:34 pm

3:36 pm

It is doing me in too. In fact if I did nothing else tomorrow I don't think I could crack it. My head is babbled out.

3:37 pm

know the feeling

3:38 pm

Good evening fellow Babblers. Back for a second shot...

3:38 pm

I only need 15 but it feels impossible.

3:39 pm

hey, soodlebum :-)

3:39 pm

Hi there Une!!

3:40 pm

At first glance, this looked like a nice gentle grid - but its proving otherwise.....

3:41 pm

BUT Torchwood is scrambling my brain too!

3:43 pm

Holy Moses! Another Torchwooder. I just can't wait to see this programme.. Ata had a pic as her icon, which seriously tickled my fancy. U a fan as well, Pat?

3:46 pm

I watched a couple last year but I was not able to see it all. However, this week every night at 9 I.ve been glued to the screen (and trying to Babble). It's good but not my normal viewing. So, you learn something new about yourself all the time. My second childhood perhaps?

3:46 pm

What station is it on Pat?

3:47 pm

here it's on BBC America

3:47 pm

BBC1 in the UK

3:48 pm

bbc one in uk

3:49 pm

gothien

3:49 pm

feckit. we only get BBC NI here. - I'm sure I'll find it on one of the satellite stations.

3:51 pm

I'll be back when it's over. Sorry!

3:57 pm

know any words

3:57 pm

Is anybody left out there in Babble land, or is everybody watching Torchwood?

3:58 pm

i'm here! :-)

3:58 pm

going to the list with 20 to go . . .

3:59 pm

Thought I was the only one left on the planet, Une!!! I'm at 12 to go, and resisting the list.

3:59 pm

Aww the good guys won. Don't tell my kids I watched it, I'll lose the moral highground, ie 'why are you watching this rubbish?' etc etc.

3:59 pm

:-D

4:01 pm

*sigh*

4:01 pm

For all the good staring at this stupendously difficult grid will do I might as well watch the lousy news!

4:01 pm

howdy, ata :-)

4:02 pm

Ata.... I take it the sigh is a wistful 'oh he's gorgeous' sigh'?

4:02 pm

he's a complete sod, and a wuss, and a coward, and yes, he's gorgeous

4:03 pm

Ain't they all, Ata, Aint they all?

4:04 pm

wait. can't say that in case ppl haven't watched it. grr!

4:04 pm

Wish I turned the news off, my stomach turned over - 8 more soldiers dead in Afghanistan. I can't bear it. Where next?

4:04 pm

Oh no. Is my 'woman scorned-side' showing? I'm not quite as bitter as I sound. Lol. :)

4:05 pm

So how has everyone been? I have been working even harder these days -- my service center has had to lay off several people due to the economy

4:17 pm

4:17 pm

did Spangle go into raptures?

4:17 pm

4:17 pm

oh dear, woulf -- not again?

4:18 pm

Spangle was pleased, but didn't go as mad as she used to when she was younger. Daughter 1 looked after her so she was in the old routine.

4:18 pm

4:18 pm

Soodle - away in France for a few days.

4:18 pm

4:31 pm

4:35 pm

ohwow I found compounds all by myself. ha6 and 7. *does little happy dance*

4:36 pm

yay for you, sprite -- I am having trouble focusing on the grid as my kids are insisting that I let them watch an episode of Gatchaman while I babble

4:36 pm

yay Gatchaman!

4:36 pm

way to go sprite

4:36 pm

multitasking, Woulf! You can do it!

4:37 pm

I can but do my best, sprite

4:37 pm

that grid the other day where almost all the biggies were compounds... almost drove me bananas.

4:37 pm

your best is more than enough, Woulf, trust me.

4:38 pm

hi sprite how are you feeling? GreyWoulf long time since I have been on with you how are the children?

4:38 pm

4:39 pm

hey speedfreak! Feeling happy while babbling, health s*cks but things could be worse.

4:39 pm

Hi speedfreak!! Way long time, indeed -- the kids are doing great

4:39 pm

you are building the5 language skills, Woulf, this will give them an edge one day.

4:40 pm

thanks BabbleRabble, got them

4:40 pm

Kristianns just finished Kindergarten and is looking forward to 1st grade, and Seb is looking forward to when he gets to go as well in two more years

4:40 pm

feel like we just welcomed your new son and I see that it was 2006 WOW

4:40 pm

wow are they growing up fast!

4:41 pm

sprite I can relate to health it is tough when my 83 yr. old mom is better than me LOL

4:41 pm

Yeah -- it is a bit scary how the time has flown by -- soon I am going to have to get another computer so the kids can play Babble too!

4:41 pm

I know the feeling, speed :) We have this saying in dutch: Old, stiff and not even 80.

4:42 pm

at least you have the priorities right, Woulf :)

4:42 pm

8-D

4:42 pm

4:43 pm

4:43 pm

4:43 pm

4:44 pm

aw poor kid. But lucky for him he has a great mum.

4:44 pm

Yayyyy for Soodle!!!

4:44 pm

4:44 pm

4:44 pm

Thank you guys!! Kfre - he6/21 - an americanism for your rear-end, or a World war 2 soldier

4:44 pm

4:44 pm

Doing my best, speed -- work has been too frustrating lately -- makes me feel like I am shorting the kids with the hours I have been working

4:45 pm

missed you on your birthday. ... sprite.. I hope you had a great one.. happy belated birthday

4:45 pm

thanks Soodle

4:45 pm

thanks ruru and yes it was perfect :)

4:46 pm

It is tough GW I was very lucky when my boys were young my husband shipped out so I was able to stay home (he missed out on a lot) and I wouldn't have missed it for the world. Too many parents have to work and I think the kids do suffer for it

4:46 pm

My work here is done. Before I go - can I be of any help to anybody?

4:46 pm

I need my lawn mowed soodle..

4:46 pm

thanks Soodle, I am ok, happily plodding along

4:47 pm

Ruru - lead on....point me to the ride-on

4:47 pm

ruru I will mow lawn if you wash my floors

4:47 pm

At least mom gets to stay home with them, and my weekends are usually reserved for them -- this weekend is a very rare exception to that

4:47 pm

they are lucky to have one of you full time!!

4:48 pm

I think you are doing fine with them, Woulf, together.

4:48 pm

so far so good, sprite -- thanks for the vote of confidence

4:49 pm

teamwork... it will pay off. Promise.

4:49 pm

at school we have a before school program and parents drop their children off at 6:30 am and they stay at school till 6:00 at night that would make me insane but I understand if both have to work.

4:50 pm

if there is no ot5 way, it is a good solution. But I am very glad we have the possibilty to be home for and with the kids a lot.

4:50 pm

speed -- I do take advantage of the before school program, mainly to simplify things because we only have one car -- so I drop Kristianna off on my way home from work, and pick her up at the end of the day

4:52 pm

note to self: there is no hyena.

4:52 pm

Now, much as I have been enjoying our time here, I need to go for now -- it is our weekly eat out night and we have to figure out where we are going.

4:52 pm

sure there is -- just not where you are looking

4:53 pm

ah I should have known. Sneaky animals.

4:53 pm

{{{{****HUGS*****}}}} for everyone -- I will be back later to find my last 70

4:53 pm

enjoy, Woulf, and take care. *hugs*. It was great to see you again!

4:53 pm

5:07 pm

5:11 pm

6:55 pm

i released the larger turtle in the wild to spare her life since she was too violent to keep anymore

Oh sad, butprobably along hte natural order of turtles...

no more turtles?

6:56 pm

time for fish!

6:57 pm

it's still too hard to see the aquarium and knowing that my little one is gone...maybe i'll get another little one later...but it's still too painful

6:57 pm

maybe...once i can drive on my own again

Ooooh sorry ardilla. pets are hard.

You may borrow my dog, but hes no fun when you cant bear weight.

11:02 pm

you can freeze cottage cheese but it would be mush coming out.

11:03 pm

I would only freeze it in a dish like lasagna where the texture wouldn't make much difference

11:03 pm

Well, it's pretty much mush going in, too

11:03 pm

jmc - that's what I thought - too bad.

11:03 pm

go min!

11:03 pm

if you freeze fairly dry cottage cheese it might be okay

11:04 pm

got a large import of cottage cheese from the states?

11:04 pm

go minver goo go go

11:05 pm

cottage cheese always makes me wonder - how did the person who invented it know they were done?

11:05 pm

We get a really good one (at one store only) but it comes in a pretty big tub so ussually half of it spoils.
