12:04 am

Sorry to hear it, Joey - hope it's nothing serious and all goes well for you!

12:05 am

hi de ho, flippers!

12:05 am

was trying to figure out MySpace...

12:05 am

How many words this time?

12:05 am

jc

12:05 am

Jilli?

12:05 am

-- gues you're not on MySpace any more?

12:05 am

Laura is here, on Babble - and about to paste instructions to you . . .

12:05 am

81 ..

12:06 am

Hi Jilli, follow this: My Account > Privacy > Only my friends can view my comments page and My Account > Privacy > Only my friends can view my friends page and then go to Profile > Customize Profile. Scroll down, hover your cursor over your Friends module, select the padlock icon that says "Visibility", and select "Friends Only" in the window which opens up. Then select "Publish Changes".

12:06 am

I'm pretty sure I've made me private

12:06 am

Not for the meantime, Jilli - not until I can make another account and page, and send an e-mail to everyone.

12:06 am

no wonder its like pulling teeth torgone thanks

12:06 am

ty L a u r a -- have done half of that

12:06 am

Oh yeah, do the same for your comments module.

12:06 am

She will need to do that on the Comments module too, Laura - won't she?

12:07 am

HAHAHA, yes . . . ;) Thank you, Laura!

12:07 am

No problem Jilli!

12:07 am

You're welcome dahhhling. :P

12:08 am

20 for 20 NBT be right back...

12:08 am

12:08 am

Careful, Laura - you're 'sounding' like me now! :P

12:13 am

12:13 am

Well I won't right now, Jilli, because I had to delete my page and account, yet again - so I am not for the moment even ON MySpace, you see. Laura won't show up as a friend until you either send her an invite to connect, or accept her friend request - which you will see on the 'Home' page, if you scroll down a little and look on the left . . .

2:32 am

Bouvet Island (Norwegian: Bouvetøya) is an uninhabited Antarctic volcanic island in the South Atlantic Ocean, south-southwest of the Cape of Good Hope ...I couldn't even spell it correctly!

2:32 am

ta5/4 - cover that caravan with a ta** to keep the bird poo off

2:32 am

2:33 am

ta5/10: tinker, ta*** (misspelled), soldier, sailor

2:33 am

i'm on a roll and can't stop now

2:34 am

keep 'em coming thanks

2:34 am

I thought I was visiting for the day...but from one extreme to the other...I'll find a more suitable island with a flsg

2:35 am

tonight just before the flip I had to feed the cat well here you can't feed just one so I fed 3 and then I figured I might as well load the dw

2:35 am

gorty puts what she imagines is a deep south red neck accent: "well where in ta**ation did i put my grits?" (ta4/4)

2:36 am

and then I decided to make coffee but there was water all over the counter

2:36 am

thanks gort lol

2:37 am

so I had to move everything but the toaster had crumbs in it so to loosen them I banged it on the edge of the sink

2:37 am

1st ta4: ta + Mich**le Obama seems to be the ants pants and the bees knees

2:38 am

husband was asleep upstairs and nothing ever wakes him up but he heard the toaster banging and thought I was locked out so came running downstairs and scared the bejezus out of me..I screamed

2:38 am

is your toaster possessed?

2:38 am

that's an interesting word

2:38 am

no just crummy

2:39 am

yes, it needs more esses: possssesssed

2:39 am

that way you get more of an occultish hiss out of it

2:39 am

yesssss

2:40 am

well, I thought I found a suitable locale for the day...Heard and McDonald Islands, but they're ne4 AUstralia...and barren...the poopies might like the birds though...

2:40 am

ahhh my kids are giggling in a non-annoying way, best sound in the world (next to occultish hissing, of course)

2:41 am

well I think I'll rest up on this flag hunting til mannananana

2:41 am

hey at least there's a McDonald's

2:41 am

how old are they gort?

2:41 am

4 and 7; yours?

2:41 am

and I agree love to hear childen's laughter

2:42 am

if Gort's helping, you should be in good hands West..until the morrow...

2:42 am

see ya pav

2:42 am

mine are all grown 38,40,41,42

2:42 am

but we do have 5 granddaughters and the youngest are 6 and 3

2:43 am

mine are rolling marbles down the central tubes of nerf bats onto each others bellybuttons - hysterical

2:43 am

goodnight pav I hope you find a good island

2:43 am

that made me laugh just reading it lol

2:44 am

holy guacamole, westford, you have produced abundantly; do your grandkiddies come over to play word games with you?

2:44 am

isn't it great what they come up with?

2:44 am

no but I wish they would

2:45 am

my gran used to lure us over with toffee apples, then thrash the pants off us at scrabble

2:45 am

do yours live away from you?

2:45 am

that would be my dream lol

2:45 am

about 2 hours

2:46 am

give or take

2:46 am

oh that's just a short jog away in oz

2:46 am

do their parents get too busy to bring them over?

2:47 am

yes unfortunately they both work we had planned to spend this week with the little ones but hubby had work to finish

2:47 am

I'd love to have them all to myself

2:48 am

i'm sorry; i get the feeling you're a delightful gran

2:48 am

in my experience, grandparents rock!

2:48 am

oh thank you I think grandchildren are so much fun

2:49 am

our oldest who is a senior in college just popped in last week so the connection is still there

2:49 am

yes i want some; they say they are your reward for not eating your young

2:49 am

I agree lol

2:50 am

my parents were only too thrilled to land us on gran's doorstep; are your children coping really well without help?

2:50 am

sorry if my questions are impertinent

2:51 am

we had our 2 daughter's children all the time but the little ones are our son's and her mother lives near by

2:52 am

I'm waiting for the day she'll let them stay over

2:52 am

yes i guess that tends to happen

2:52 am

bring on the day!

2:52 am

the 3 oldest are 20, 21 and 22

2:53 am

I think she thinks we'll corrupt them

2:53 am

they have a schedule lol

2:53 am

well corruption is a central component of a grandparent's job description, is it not?

2:53 am

absolutely!!

2:54 am

I'd have them up playing babble until the wee hours

2:54 am

and they would be all the richer for it

2:54 am

are they religious/strict parents?

2:55 am

oh well they'll visit when they can drive

2:55 am

not so religious but very strict

2:55 am

were you sweet and lax, and now they're rebelling?

2:56 am

she works with troubled teens and I suppose she doesn't want hers to turn out that way

2:57 am

I really don't know because she is a very sweet person but she has a plan

2:57 am

everything is perfect

2:57 am

tell her studies in Australia have shown that extended time interacting with loving senior adults improves the IQ, EQ and resistance to sex, drugs and rock and roll, in children

2:57 am

it's sort of true, even

2:58 am

I will tell her that but I will have to word it exactly right if you know what I mean

2:58 am

yeah i do know what you mean

2:58 am

I wouldn't want to hurt her feelings

2:58 am

and just between us her mother is a perfectionist

2:59 am

yeaah, i understand

2:59 am

and I'm not lol

2:59 am

i guess you've gotta tread carefully so you don't alienate her so you can keep contact with the kiddies

3:00 am

oh but my secret weapon is my son

3:00 am

he's the only male and my baby

3:00 am

you interest me strangely; how do you deploy him?

3:00 am

something about mothers and sons

3:01 am

I just mean he'll do anything for me he's just really sweet

3:01 am

keeping him close so that when the time comes to reproduce, he does it near you?

3:01 am

no no no

3:01 am

that sounded crude and revolting didn't it?

3:01 am

I realize his new family comes first and he is a wonderful husband and father

3:02 am

forgive me i was raised by wolves

3:02 am

no I knew what you meant

3:02 am

ah I see lol

3:03 am

well i hope your children come to appreciate your involvement in their kids lives as much as i appreciate my parents and in-laws

3:03 am

I have to go now, but let me say just one more time...

3:03 am

grandparents rock!

3:04 am

thank you gort and so do you

3:04 am

5:42 am

*grin* Hi there

5:43 am

: p

5:43 am

cant help you ollics - haven't stated the grid yet.

5:43 am

good morning all

5:43 am

Hi Wolvie

5:44 am

G'd morning Wolvie

5:45 am

oh my - listening to a free CD that came with a daily paper a while ago - Roxy Musics Greatest Hits. Blast from the past!

5:46 am

i'm miffed - i don't get stuff like that with my paper.;-)

5:47 am

awe sorry bout that :(

5:47 am

lol FM. Have an urge to reclaim your misspent youth now?

5:47 am

hey - you guys have better give aways, that's all.

5:48 am

Haha! Last a was ar6, which I'm constantly in.....

5:48 am

feel an urge for big shoulder pads and big hair all of a sudden!

5:49 am

lol

5:49 am

The bigger the shoulders the better! Some of my padding in the past, but a football players safety equipment to shame.....

5:49 am

LOL

5:50 am

yeah, I remember that stuff - some things are best not taken out of the dust bin - music okay, shoulder pads not so much!

5:50 am

I saved them, and use them for pillows now.

5:50 am

filled them with down did you? lol

5:51 am

No. They were big enough, they just needed a nice sham.

5:51 am

heh heh

5:51 am

The 80s were my high time, the late 70s and early 80s were the disco days. Love the memories.

5:51 am

80's for me as well. fun stuff

5:52 am

Me too, but sad really. I'd have made a better hippy, and bonus, a lot less hair maintenance.

5:52 am

got married in 85 and divorced in 91 but there were some grat tiems inbetween.

5:53 am

oh man - lets not talk about hair. I don't even want to calculate how much $$$ i spent on useless product

5:53 am

grat time. Is that Latin?

5:53 am

and I need to cut my nails down as they are screwing up my typing.

5:53 am

twitter typing

5:53 am

Oh yah, great. I can't even copy a typo properly. ***sigh***

5:54 am

I heard that twitter had been hacked into

5:54 am

Which is quite ironic when ya' think about it.

5:54 am

everyone abb's differently

5:54 am

FB, Twitter, all of 'em

5:54 am

even those of us who stutter lol

5:55 am

really? thank goodness I am not a member of any of them!

5:55 am

I can't believe the nut jobs that are out there - have you ever just randomly browsed tweet sites. Whoa - amusement and dismay 24/7

5:56 am

No never have Wolvie - and don't want to - to be honest.

5:56 am

I don't go there much, a few updates from Nasa and the like for me

5:57 am

Fair enough.

5:58 am

Lori did you see BR's quote in his profile yesterday?

5:59 am

Lots of useless info and insight to the machinations of the unhinged.....

5:59 am

No FM, yesterday was ultra busy for me. I cracked off the grid (pain in the a....) then hit the road

6:00 am

OK np will email it to you.

6:00 am

Kewl. ***waiting***

6:01 am

10 words left, and I can't see anything.

6:01 am

wow - no where near that here - just started tho - maybe it will get better. :-)

6:02 am

Its on it s way and I stillhave to start the grid

6:02 am

cue laughter in background

6:03 am

Wow, like a motivational 12 Step Program FM! True words though. True words.

6:03 am

HAae to *share* - there are a pair of doves nesting outside my office window and the coo and talk to eachother all day. It is so lovely.

6:03 am

:-)

6:03 am

Awww. The only Dove here is a brand of soap.

6:05 am

They are so sweet - they fly from early morn tilll dusk and are now on their 2nd brood.

6:07 am

hi there everyone

6:07 am

and on that happy note I have to be off for a while.

6:11 am

good mornin' all!

6:12 am

6:13 am

After the crappy July we had, a heat wave has a certain appeal. Mornin' Lynn

6:13 am

hi lynn

6:13 am

getting ready to have baby anytime so excited

6:14 am

congrats lynn!

6:14 am

ty

6:15 am

yeap..we get 2 days of summer this year....i don't think anyone around here has bothered to turn on their AC..and I am thinking of closing the pool next week..no one has used it all summer

6:16 am

ooh boy - that would be a bummer carlee - just too much rain?

6:17 am

too much rain..too cold....going down to 12 at nite ( about 47F )...highs around 22 ( maybe 73f ish )... usually we have 6 weeks of 90f+

6:17 am

woot..a baby.....WTG lynn

6:18 am

ah - sort of like NE this year

6:19 am

i'm 1 hour from Detroit MI wolvie

6:20 am

I saw Ontario in the profile, knew you were close ( I grew up in the LP) - just thought Mich was having a bit better weather this year - and Mass is not. :-)

6:21 am

didn't realize it was a whole northern thing this season - way bad for the veggies!

6:21 am

detroit is better but I live very close to Lake huron ( 5 min walk...) and with prevailing northerly winds....

6:21 am

lori - you mentioned an ar 6 awhile back, and for the life of me, I can't find it - clue please?

6:21 am

lucky you! lol

6:22 am

ar6, fall behind in payment

6:22 am

I used to party in Windsor a lot as a young lass.

6:22 am

oh man - ty amelu

6:22 am

yw

6:22 am

i LOVe shopping on wyandotte

6:23 am

not that you are in windsor carlee, just that I like Canada

6:23 am

you can eat your way around the world as you stroll down the road

6:23 am

I'm in Sarnia

6:23 am

Wyandotte Mich? Really? New Mall or something?

6:23 am

oh - I know where that is. Cool!

6:23 am

in WINDSOR

6:24 am

oh - duh - street. LOL

6:24 am

too funny - been many years since I have been there. Loved it tho

6:24 am

heh, I used to go to summer camp north of Port Huron... I still remember turning blue while swimming in the lake and refusing to get out of the water.

6:24 am

I'm completely alone in that tho...everyone I know that lives in or near windsor HATES wyandotte..but I love it..the old architecture....the "mom and pop" shops...everyone prefers the mall

6:25 am

have you ever come across into mich to go to the eastern market? Gratiot ave and I forget the cross

6:25 am

yeap..that the lake... its only 72F right now

6:25 am

I broke my tailbone in that area, ame - waterskiing in that same water

6:26 am

ouch!

6:26 am

I am USUALLY in Port Huron...I only go through detroit on the way to somewhere else

6:26 am

slid in on one ski, sat down "perfectly" on a submerged sharp rock

6:26 am

yeap..there are days the wate is like glass..then..there days I can hear the waves from home

6:27 am

well, there used to be great stuff in Detroit - and that eastern market was so cool

6:27 am

I still think about buying some property in Michigan from time to time

6:27 am

detroit is just so scary right now I find...people I know in canada are trying to invest in "property" there with all foreclosures

6:28 am

I remember the rocks! Sometimes I think that's the only thing I miss from up there... Where I live, you either have sand or "red dirt"...

6:28 am

and..no mater what "area" you invest it seems....whatever you install on the weekend..by the next weekend it is torn out from a break and enter

6:28 am

really? huh - I hadn't thought about city prop

6:29 am

might not be a bad idea - it will get cleaned up eventually - so sad - it was such a ne** place, even with the rep it had

6:29 am

here its sand..everything is sand

6:29 am

well they are down and down right now - this economy has hit the rust belt when it couldn't afford anymore hits

9:04 am

howdy all

9:04 am

hi frat!

9:04 am

just glad to be done with work. its been a booger of a week!

9:04 am

Boo, the one I have is kingly domain

9:05 am

9:05 am

but at least it's behind you.

9:05 am

yay! goooooo frat, you'll get it :D

9:06 am

ty

9:07 am

Hey Frat, do you know about Lickety's Babble Clues? It's under Friends of Babble. Provides first 2 letters of words and point values. Comes in handy whenever you're stuck.

9:07 am

yeah. work has been heinous this week. and a neighbor at home hit my car in the parking lot -- so i still have to take care of that. but on the plus side, i think i have finally found some tenants for my house!

9:07 am

could anyone clue me the le 6 (second one i think) or the ar 5/10??...thx mymuse, I have used that...it's quite handy!!

9:08 am

well that's good news (tenants)! Hope the damage to car isn't too bad.

9:09 am

yes, thankfully it is minor damage. i just need to call his insurance company back to schedule the repairs. i think it will probably just need paint.

9:09 am

I still have 14 left to find; the ar5/10 I have adds the "not fake" word.

9:09 am

thsx!!! just one more now

9:10 am

the le6 I have so far plurals the 5, and I think you have that since you teach ;)

9:10 am

lol... so true ;)

9:11 am

aaah, frat, put antiquated past tense to it.

9:12 am

FIREWORKS!!!!! thx sooo much.... now i can leave for vacation!!!

9:13 am

yay! yw and congrats! Enjoy ...:D

9:13 am

9:19 am

hi evaN!

9:52 am

oh, dear. i just found an image of a bacon bra. yes, an actual bra made out of actual bacon. i will not be sharing THAT image!

9:53 am

im back someone say bacon?

9:54 am

crossy, i give you the bacon chocolate bar: http://tinyurl.com/2z8lqn

9:55 am

crossy goes looking for the bacon chokkie bar...

9:56 am

MO,S APPLEWOOD BACON BAR!! YES!

down to 11...something tell sme they won'tbe easy

10:02 am

strangely, even to me, chocolate + bacon together sounds yummy!

10:08 am

mm just tucking into scrambled eggs,texas toast and hash browns done in butter with onions and bacon bits:))

10:19 am

cross, I wasn'

10:19 am

t hungry until I read what u are eating............. yummylicious

10:24 am

soo crispy..and bacony...and so bad for you:)) hangs his head with guilt for 3 seconds..:)

10:26 am

ok all better now:))

yes, very bad! give me that plate!

10:26 am

too late,plate empty:)

:(

10:29 am

offers some hash browns to T.O...

10:30 am

only 1000 calorie from fat per forkfull;)

10:38 am

eating peach yogurt.

10:38 am

SO not the same as crossy's meal.

10:38 am

*grumble*

time to get going. see you all Sunday!

10:57 am

crossy wonders if there is bacon yogurt?....

10:57 am

crossy could always make some....

10:58 am

yes indeed;)

10:59 am

crossy fears a lipid test in his future:/

11:00 am

there is an undertaker in waiting

11:02 am

always is br..i think arteies and heart will play second fiddle to what will eventualy get me;)

11:02 am

a coward dies a thousand deaths,a hero only dies once:)

11:03 am

you are a hero for clogging your arteries?

11:03 am

lol,did i tell you all i went to turkey bacon 2 month ago?

11:04 am

so little fat you can eat the whole pound and not get the fat content of a chokkie bar

11:05 am

"jart" should really be a word

11:05 am

you know, lawn darts. jarts. hmmm...maybe it's a product name.

11:05 am

i agre;)

11:05 am

agree even

11:05 am

beware that salt, though crossy. i saw on "the doctors" that non-pork bacon tends to be so much higher in sodium that it actually ends up being less healthy than regular bacon.

11:06 am

thanks crosshair. I love it when people agre with me.

11:06 am

mm i better look into that,im sposed to chop my salt content as well

11:07 am

funny things you would never have thought of before with nasty salt content;(

11:07 am

dor take your turn

11:07 am

that happens with low-fat & low-cal meals, too. excess sodium.

11:08 am

though i will always have my bacon bubble gum;)

11:09 am

bacon bubble gum? I am simultaneously grossed out and enthralled.

11:09 am

yeah, usually when one content goes down, one or more other content goes up...

11:10 am

gets me through the tough spots redshoes;)

11:11 am

where does one find such a treat, crossy?

11:11 am

http://www.infobarrel.com/Bacon_Bubble _Gum

11:11 am

there u go:)

11:11 am

crossy, not sure when the next date would be, but this might be your next vacation: http://baconcamp.org/

11:13 am

lol @bacon camp

11:14 am

real bacon is now verbotten for me:( ..well i can have 4 slices a week but thats like telling a booze hound he can have 4 drinks a week and no more lol

11:16 am

ahh memories..the bacon weave,the ba-cone the bacon explosion...sigh....

11:16 am

i use bacon gum like nicorettes:)

11:19 am

ok. back to work. Who am I kidding? I'll be daydreaming about bacon. later kids!

11:19 am

11:28 am

11:29 am

kept forgetting we can have singular words that should really be plural

11:29 am

yaa for kazz;)

11:29 am

why no bacon crossy

11:29 am

trying to be kind to the machine;)

11:31 am

the butter and margerine is next;(

11:31 am

this might sound like a dumb question but is 'bacon' different in Canada than it is here in the UK?

11:31 am

just in style of cut and smoked or hickory or maple

11:32 am

its all still pig

11:32 am

:)

11:32 am

We get ours from the local farm shop - hardly any fat and cured just right

11:33 am

i like pig alot - we have lots of sausages - i no doubt shall be indulging in some very shortly

11:33 am

good bacon is a blessing and a joy lol

11:33 am

shh dont mentoin farmer saussages

11:33 am

11:33 am

11:34 am

a woman after my own fat congealed heart;)

11:35 am

remember i was born in the U.K some of my earliest memories are my mum doing eggs english style;)

Crossy - about three or four times a year I find myself home alone for the weekend, and I always get a really nice rye bread and broil about half a pound of thick-cut, maple smoked bacon for bacon-and-tomato sandwiches. Wonderful, and apparently far enough apart that it suits my doctors fussinesses. Of course, the rest of the time, I try not to let myself think about bacon, which hs gotten ever so much harder since I started Babbling!

11:43 am

oooohhhhh.....

I can just imagine what my doctor would look like (I thik she would be speechless) if I mentioned bacon vodka.

11:44 am

ive made it twice now ;))

11:44 am

very little fat transfer,just the essance of bacon

11:46 am

just the thing to wash down that blt

11:47 am

now that i think of it,i wonder if i can use bacon gumballs for the recipie instead of bacon bits...mmmm

Where do you find those bacon gumballs and bacom gum?

The very thought it making my typing worse!

See?

Finished! Complete! Throwing confetti (saved from using a punch on the bills to hanf them on a hook to age)!

Bye for now - if I can I'll come back to offer clues if needed.

Brits dominating chog at the moment JBV!

3:58 pm

fine here ... and you Katie?

3:59 pm

good thanks mo, all the better for being Friday :-)

3:59 pm

Here's a line or two: Q belonged to Q&A/ to questions, and to foursomes, and fractions / it belonged to the Queen, to Quakers, to quintets - /within its compound in the dictionary dwelt the quill pig and quince beetle and quetzal......

4:00 pm

well being retired most days seem the same ... but I know what you mean!!!

4:01 pm

I like that :-)

4:02 pm

I would love that lol

4:03 pm

I used to love work but I like retirement better!

4:03 pm

Oh I don't blame you mo, just another 24 years to go!!

4:04 pm

never heard of a quill pig or quetzal, JBV.

4:05 pm

quill pig is also unknown to me, mo, but a quetzal is a beautiful bird of tropical Mexico/Guatemala etc.

4:05 pm

Just looked up the rest of the poem JBV. thats cute.

4:05 pm

you poor thing :-) I am not gloating!

4:05 pm

and it seems a quill pig is a porcupine!

4:06 pm

we live and learn on Babble!!

4:06 pm

and you are so lucky, mo, I've got two more years to be where you are with days on end to what I want

4:07 pm

the only problem with retirement is that time goes twice as fast .....

4:07 pm

or seems that way lol.

4:07 pm

that's cos u having fun mo!

4:08 pm

ar 6/18 please?

How fun, I love a bbbq. (one less b I think.)

4:12 pm

they certainly are ... soon be Christmas ...

4:12 pm

lol stid my hubby has just said exactly the same thing

4:12 pm

and we were talking about Christmas, I LOVE christmas

4:13 pm

yes its a lovely time of year, but I think I prefer spring.

4:13 pm

I also love Christmas. Especially the traditional foods.

4:14 pm

we went away last year and it was fantastic (as shown by the sunset) but it wasn't Christmas, I'm doing the full works at my house this year and am really looking forward to it

4:14 pm

al 6/21, at 5/10 please? so close :)

4:16 pm

When we lived in Puerto Rico it was really hard to get into theSpirit of the season. Australians do it, I am sure but summer is a really different time to celebrate the feasts of winter.

4:17 pm

I think it is what you are used to. We were drinking champagne on the beach and snorkling with turtles, both fantastic experiences but not like getting up at 4am on a cold dark winters morning to rip open your presents

4:18 pm

al6 ... al +good *a*n**s.

4:18 pm

I've also started going to Church regularly since the Christmas before and really wanted to join in on the Church events but couldn't because we were away

4:18 pm

that wasnt a very good clue ... will try again.

4:18 pm

4:20 pm

Good for you eam. Fireworks are always lovely.

4:20 pm

everything about it was stunning, but it cost a fortune to go at Christmas and if we wanted to go this year it has gone up massively. It would be £7000 for the both of us which is just way too much money

4:21 pm

Had a WONDERFUL day at the sea today - warm sun, warm enough water, rocks for the kiddos to play on, and a good friend to sit with. Took some great photos. A lovely, lovely day out.

5:23 pm

sound lovely trif

5:24 pm

Sounds lovely ..

5:24 pm

now if I could just find these last 8 words....

5:24 pm

hey torg

5:24 pm

It really was. I am so grateful.

5:25 pm

how many letter is the PS?

5:25 pm

secondo was particularly amused when I went ass over teakettle off the rocks, down some seaweed, and kerplunk! into the sea. It was mighty funny....

5:25 pm

Hey all...Hi Trif. Nice to hear you had a pleasant day. I worked, but for dinner I'm making llobsta rolls.

5:25 pm

It's pr4 ..

5:25 pm

I don't have a ps word jmc, so I am thinking none?

5:26 pm

excellent kad!!! I am going to jaines' for pizza.

5:26 pm

mmmm lobsta rolls

5:26 pm

ah well that would explain my problems

5:26 pm

I am SO GLAD that you are enjoying yourself today !!

5:26 pm

got it (nothing like looking for the right word to speed things up)

5:27 pm

tertiare was goofy enough to complain about same out loud when Mr. Hate came to pick them up for the ball game. "bring us home early dad, so we can go to jaines party!" Sigh.

5:27 pm

Sincerely hope he does not show up unexpectedly.

5:28 pm

he's not invited, so no, I think not. Sometimes I wonder if tertiare does it on purpose, to sort of clue him in on what he is missing. She asked if I could come "too" to the ball game....

5:29 pm

She's 10 lovey; perfectly appropriate for her age but irritating nonetheless. How was mamasita today?

5:30 pm

only saw her for a second. She didn't wear her tie shirt, as it was still "damp." when she saw lots of others had them on, she insisted on going home to get hers and wearing it all day. It was indeed, damp, and she wore it - all day. Fun!

5:31 pm

OMG LOL! She always wants to be "in." BTW, is this a soiree at Jayne's or simply "come over for pizza?"

5:31 pm

the usual beer bash. Adults will be jumping in the pool fully clothed sometime around midnight. feel free to stop by!!!

5:32 pm

You too tor! hear tell you enjoy a good skinny dip!

5:32 pm

*looks shocked*

5:32 pm

"looks shocked" -- but in reality, "feels jealous!"

5:33 pm

Trif...wear something "smashing!" I would LOVE to come...really I would. K arrived safely in LI, NY; D is at the swim team bbque, S has a friend sleeping over, and G took the day off to golf with D. I would be leaving him or S unattended.

5:33 pm

LEAVE

5:33 pm

yeah not so much for jumping in pool with clothes on

5:33 pm

Fully clothed is not skinny dipping but either would be fun ..

5:33 pm

You are tempting me......

5:34 pm

I am an expert skinny dipper!

5:34 pm

(((whispering in case stacey is on....))) sometimes the clothes dont' make it in the pool!

5:34 pm

consider it an early birthday treat. Only do come, it is gonna be so much fun! Wanna sleep over???

5:34 pm

they fall off when you jump *looks confused*

5:34 pm

they fall off when you jump *looks confused*

5:35 pm

You know....they baptised people without the clothes on. It is how we came into this world. Speaking of whispering, scoop is on T

5:35 pm

that is usually how we explain it to the kids, yes, jmc

5:35 pm

not in any church I ever went to

5:35 pm

lol and the kids fall for that?

5:35 pm

scoop has a friend over and she is babbling?

5:36 pm

Remember, they will use that one on us some day...

5:36 pm

Yes, she is wondering why I am on the deck laughing

5:36 pm

looking for the i singleton and the o singleton for nbt

5:36 pm

it worked better when the kids were younger, jmc. Same as how I could eat one piece of pizza on the way home, and rearrange the pieces to make the pie seem "whole" again.

5:36 pm

the i singleton is the one I pretty much miss every time --- teeny eeny weeny piece of fish

5:37 pm

I have an agreement with my son that he does not tell me everything and I wont tell him everything

5:37 pm

evening/night all

5:37 pm

a fish indeed *smack smack*

5:37 pm

I have an arrangement with teachers - I believe half of what the kids say goes on at school if they believe half of what said student says goes on at home

5:38 pm

sprite!!! how nice to see you!!!

5:38 pm

hi sprite!

5:38 pm

and the o singleton?

5:38 pm

5:40 pm

2 x ja4/9

5:40 pm

Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?

5:50 pm

ah, relatively innocent. I hope you have heaps of fun.

5:51 pm

my poor DH did end up running nekkid up the street once, after being chucked in, and losing towel on exit

7:56 pm

hi mark

i just uploaded a new orchestration to my Soundclick.com account...has a bit of an Asian-flair to it

http://www.soundclick. com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=240733&co ntent=music

hope you all enjoy it

7:59 pm

sorry, mark. it didn't work for me. I'm on a mac; would that make a difference?

7:59 pm

Is it your own composition?

there's a space in the address....so that Babble will allow it to be displayed

yes it is

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/defaul t.cfm?bandID=240733&content=music

8:00 pm

ah! I'll try again!

oh...i guess it will allow it anyway

8:02 pm

I found it. I like it!

8:02 pm

do you make a lot of music?

thank you!

that's what I'm trying to do as a job...compose music for movies, tv, commercials, video games, etc...

8:03 pm

I have a huge section of what I call "world music" on iTunes;

so far, no luck

personal compositions or just stuff you enjoy listening to?

8:04 pm

Dang! I wonder how you would break in to a field like that?

it's all about who you know...and i'm working to expand my network as much as possible

8:04 pm

mark, *I* don't compose; but I do listen to lots of music

well, i do have a CD of original instrumental piano music available on iTunes

8:08 pm

when my kids were young, I volunteered as a "picture person" at their small parochial grade school. It was a program with the Mpls Art Institute; and at first I had some trouble with some of the kids because they couldn't or wouldn't settle down and listen to the info on the art. I started bringing cassette tapes of music related to the art pieces, and that was the key to getting their attention and helping them undersatnd some of the art pieces better

8:09 pm

you have something on iTunes?

my CD tends to be used to quiet young kids...i know at least 2 teachers who use it in the classroom

"One Day" by Mark Bowers

11:15 pm

YAy shooshoo

11:15 pm

stid, supper was ordinary

11:15 pm

you will, shoo -- it's unusual for a "newbie" to finish grids. even small grids. *serves more choclit*

11:16 pm

thanks for the suffrage link, jill

11:16 pm

yw stid

11:16 pm

I really appreciate all the clues. Sorry for being so dense on some of them.... but I will learn

11:16 pm

I must admit, I took an AMAZING photo of secondo today, but I am not sure of sharing it - do you reckon it is safe to put a photo of a 13 y.o. in a bikini out into the ether?

11:16 pm

And with that, I'm off to bed (I think). Good night all.

11:17 pm

night trif

11:17 pm

Got to go.. Bye and talk to you tomorrow.

11:17 pm

not really trifioso

11:17 pm

OK...I think they're up...

11:17 pm

stid -- have you no curiosity about my black icon?

11:17 pm

later shoo! nice to meet you!

11:17 pm

...stid, let me know if you can see them!

11:17 pm

yeah, that is what I figured. It is a really cool photo though. you'll just have to trust me.

11:17 pm

tri -- I would be wary of posting that photo in a public forum.

11:18 pm

hi all

11:18 pm

sweet dreams and thanks, Nef!

11:18 pm

11:18 pm

I don't see them pini

11:18 pm

11:18 pm

11:18 pm

11:19 pm

11:19 pm

I did pini, but I still can't see them

11:19 pm

tell me about your black icon jill

11:19 pm

the last photo in your photostream on flickr is from last sept, pini

11:20 pm

I just thought my computer was being weird (again), jill. hold on, i'll take a peek

11:20 pm

no I am in Maryland but my job was to help write a letter that encapsulizes the whole meeting

11:20 pm

rofl jill!! that is just too cute!

11:20 pm

hi pini! *waves furiously*

11:20 pm

wow jmc. big task, eh?

11:21 pm

thanks for looking, stid

11:21 pm

jill -- when the meeting is over, and before the children go back to school, would you like to see us for a couple days? could we crash at your place, that is?

11:21 pm

jmc, just click on my black icon to see what it's about

11:22 pm

took two hours after each of the 4 committee members wrote a section on their own

11:22 pm

stid, I'm expecting you -- what's the date? email me.

11:22 pm

I wish I had time to think about icons... soon I will.

11:22 pm

the seven I see doesn't match with the Harry Potter story

11:22 pm

I have to check with Tom, but I am thinking last week of Aug.

11:23 pm

rather 3 of us wrote our sections the 4th person waxed philosophically about what he would write if he could write good

11:23 pm

Will hope to see flo, hetty, saanich, raelite... maybe lunch at that great thai place again before we cross to the island (or on the way home?)

11:23 pm

that should be ok, stid -- the cat's owners return Aug 25

11:23 pm

*grin* funny, jmc. people are weird.

11:23 pm

jmc, you'll have to refresh I guess

11:23 pm

are you cat sitting?

11:23 pm

for two months, stid -- neighbours' cat

11:24 pm

gee, I HAVE been out of touch! good for you, jill. I assume it has gone well?

11:24 pm

pini -- do you have to set the new photos to public?

11:25 pm

11:26 pm

stid -- http://www.bistrosuisse.com/

11:27 pm

DR, click on my icon to find out the theme

11:27 pm

Friday it is a word in the grid but this is the first real chance for me to babble

11:27 pm

jmc, did you click on the black square?

11:27 pm

isn't it friday?

11:27 pm

ok back...

11:28 pm

stid...did they show?

11:28 pm

I did Jill and found the new theme -- I am a little out of if

11:28 pm

11:28 pm

11:28 pm

11:28 pm

11:30 pm

11:30 pm

11:30 pm

11:30 pm

11:31 pm

YES!!! BABY PICS!!!!

11:31 pm

we can go to the thai place if that's better

11:31 pm

your daughter is beautiful and her husband is SO handsome! Cole doesn't have a chance, he'll be a "babe magnet" for sure!

11:32 pm

the stidkids would probably enjoy the suisse place.

11:32 pm

Thanks! Cole's hopsital picture was taken in a onesie that had a "chick" and a "magnet" on it!! ROFL

11:32 pm

*gasp* TOO funny!

11:33 pm

how is your daughter doing, anyway?

11:33 pm

stid -- some of the salads sound ok

11:34 pm

onesie pic here: http://tinyurl.com/l5yaj5

11:34 pm

She's doing great! and so is daddy (although slightly nervous)

11:37 pm

pini -- too cute little guy in the magnet outfit!

11:37 pm

* giggle *

11:39 pm

sorry, had to check email.

11:40 pm

glad the daddy's nervous. It shows he understands the responsibility *approving mama look* he'll loosen up soon enough.

11:40 pm

ok.. I have my Harry Potter spell now

11:40 pm

the pics are awesome Pini!

11:40 pm

He's warming up pretty quickly, stid ;)

11:40 pm

Dad jumps at every movement and sound...

11:41 pm

thx DR :)

11:41 pm

DR, I almost picked that one!

11:41 pm

Pini, you have NO IDEA how very happy I am for you and your family. And how VERY glad it's you and not me! LOL

11:41 pm

I second that emotion Stid!

11:42 pm

I like the pic where Cole is smiling, too. He's going to be a sweet child.

11:42 pm

gosh, thanks, stid...although I'm rather partial, I think I'll keep him in my family for now! :)

11:42 pm

Jacob helped me choose Jilli

11:42 pm

Fireworks

11:42 pm

good idea, pini

11:42 pm

whoo hoo doxy

11:42 pm

YAY doxy!!!

11:42 pm

DR, I have a thought about P2P

11:42 pm

wtg doxy

11:42 pm

YAY doxy!!!!

11:42 pm

WTG Doxy!

11:42 pm

Beautiful baby Pini, congratulations

11:42 pm

cute baby pini

11:42 pm

thx flosey :)

11:43 pm

hi flosey!!! welcome home!

11:43 pm

thx doxy ;)

11:43 pm

what is your thought Stid

11:43 pm

you can take a "wait and see" attitude until you have a chance to meet the leaders of the expedition.

11:43 pm

FLOSEY! (((hugs))) how are you? how is mr flo? how is mr flo

11:43 pm

hi flosey

11:43 pm

how is mr flo's garden... I mean

11:43 pm

night all

11:43 pm

bye doxy

11:43 pm

and learn about the costs and options and such.

11:43 pm

I looked at the trip and it is something I would want to do. I honestly do not think he is mature enough.... he would be 11

11:43 pm

sweet dreams doxy. be well!

11:44 pm

what reip, DR? Guess I missed something

11:44 pm

falling asleep sitting up and its not even a train

11:44 pm

they are probably taking a small group of middle schoolers then. I would ask what the adult to child ra5 is likely to be, and how much experience they have with kids with aspergers. One of our leaders teachers special needs kids at a high school, so I was comfortable she would be able to head off potential trouble.

11:45 pm

night all

11:45 pm

Sounds like the whole thing went very well for our son.

11:45 pm

*trip -- how did that get to be reip?

11:45 pm

jmc...didn't see you there!

11:45 pm

sweet dreams jmc. see you soon.

11:45 pm

hi/bye jmc ... sleep well

11:45 pm

jill is nearly as tired as we are jmc! LOL

11:45 pm

and I thought you were just ignoring me!

11:45 pm

DR's boy got nominated for the same program stidkid just got back from.

11:46 pm

only they are going to the UK next year

11:46 pm

Jilli- We got a letter that Jacob was invited to take a trip to England and Paris next summer with th egroup that Stid Kid went to OZ with

11:46 pm

oh, great!

11:46 pm

see you tomorrow all -- it will be a less crushing day

11:46 pm

never jmc!!!!

11:46 pm

11 is NOT too young

11:46 pm

The maturity is lacking Jilli

11:46 pm

good thing pini cause I know where you live ;-)

11:47 pm

*poof*

11:47 pm

I still remember lots of stuff from trips when I was 8 and 12

11:47 pm

depends on the child, jill -- maturity is not always linked to chronology

11:47 pm

of course, I went with my mother...

11:48 pm

DR -- they might be able to use you as a co-leader? I think you'd have to pay your way, but you'd be there if he needed you.

11:48 pm

I am going to check it out and see what I think. I think it was the grades and th " I want to be a humanitarian" but not so much the I make friends easily

11:48 pm

LOL DR! yes -- that was my feeling as well.

11:49 pm

I will keep you posted ...

11:49 pm

brb

11:49 pm

thanks. will be interested to hear what you think, too.

11:50 pm

I am VERY tired now, and should get away from typing and looking at the screen for a little bit before bed. I have spent nearly my whole day in front of computers.

11:50 pm

ok Stid- thanks for your advice and ifo- have a great night!

11:51 pm

* info

11:51 pm

sweet dreams and YAY and happy happy to all! *hugs and choclit* see you-all soon! *poof*

11:57 pm
