yes indeed -- and west, there was one board where one pair bid and made one no trump and another pair with the same cards bid three no trump and made seven! (We just bid and made three)

1:15 am

3:27 am

Hi MrP

3:28 am

hi mrp and katie - I've just come back, not sleeping, might as well pick up a few more wors

hi katie and flosey!

3:28 am

Good morning/evening all.

3:28 am

Hi flosey

3:29 am

morning Haz

3:29 am

hi Haz

3:29 am

Hello - Katie, how's your mouth coming along?

3:29 am

Hello everyone

3:29 am

much better today thanks Haz, going back to work tomorrow :-)

3:30 am

Hi lynxxx

3:30 am

Good to hear, katie - no further treatment necessary?

3:30 am

Hello lynxxx.

3:31 am

I will need to get my tooth taken out when I get back from holiday, can't do it before because of the anti-biotics, but not worried about it, after this I will be glad to be rid of it.

3:32 am

another holiday? what exotic place are you off to this time Katie

3:32 am

I had to get a tooth taken out last year - root canal treatment would have been impossible because the root was curved (even my roots are twisted), and the extraction wasn't too bad.

3:33 am

Having had both I preferred the extraction. We are going to Stalis in Greece for the week lynxxx

3:33 am

Nobody can accuse you of not doing your bit to keep the tourist industry alive, Katie.

3:33 am

looovely!

3:33 am

Oh Lucky you Katie, I loved Greece

3:35 am

lol Haz, everyone needs a hobby! we are only going away twice this year which for us is cutting back :-)

3:35 am

And then Canada next year?

3:36 am

we have had a bit of a change of plan. We are going to the Maldives next year in April/May and then a couple of short haul holidays and then doing Canada in the Summer of 2011

3:37 am

I have broken the news to hubby that i have promised to do the olympic bob sleigh course which isn't open to the public until 2011 and he took it relatively well lol

3:38 am

Get your insurance now!

3:38 am

Diem and I whizzing along lol

3:38 am

really - Wow!

3:38 am

It will be an experience.

3:38 am

hubby took the idea of extreme zip lining much worse

3:39 am

Have you ever noticed that people always call mind-boggling and bone shaking events 'experiences'?

3:39 am

Blame the film the bucket list, I've become much more adventurous

3:39 am

Is this a long held ambition?

3:40 am

I went to Canada when they were building it and Diem and I made a pact that the first time I was over after the olympics we would do it.

3:41 am

Good for you! What else is on the bucket list?

3:43 am

everytime we go away we pick something, we are going to have to see what is available in Greece but swimming with Dolphins is a must as is whale spotting with hubby

3:44 am

We have done so much since we met it's hard to keep thinking of new ones but we are trying :-)

3:44 am

They don't all have to be death defying, then?

3:45 am

Oh no, going to see a wonder of the world was one of them

3:45 am

and I do have a safety valve. I wanted to roller blade round stanley park in vancouver but bearing in mind I couldn't stand up on them we decided that biking round it was much more sensible

3:46 am

did the "A Thousand things To Do" inspire you Katie

3:47 am

some of the safest things were the scariest. We swam in a cenote in Mexico which was freezing and full of black catfish, really didn't like that one.

3:47 am

I don't have a list or anything, but occasionally on holiday, you do have a moment where you think 'I'll always remember this'

3:47 am

i haven't seen that lynxxx must look it up as we need inspiration.

3:48 am

ahhh keep moments. there is nothing as good as having that though Haz and it can be over the smallest things

3:49 am

Exactly, it's as if the moment is etched on your mind, a snapshot memory with all senses involved.

3:52 am

off to bed again, goodnight all, this time I must sleep!

3:52 am

Goodnight flosey, just don't dream about that bob sleigh!

3:52 am

goodnite Flosey

3:53 am

that's not for me Haz, those days are long over

3:54 am

Have a peaceful sleep, flosey, see you later.

3:54 am

for sure, will be back in the morning

4:03 am

Back shortly.

4:14 am

BBL

4:39 am

G'd mornign Babblers! Shall I take the drugs now, or wait until the first sweep is done?

4:39 am

Hello Lori - no drugs needed for this.

4:40 am

This is good news. Heya' Hazaurus!

4:40 am

How are you? Apart from being drug free so far?

4:42 am

Life is good. I miss FM. Her obsession with making a living is annoying. How 'bout you, anything new? Plans for world domination?

4:43 am

I know. You'd think she could live on toast and baked beans for a week or two. World domination plans are coming on well. Can't say any more otherwise I'd have to kill you.

4:43 am

Understood .

4:43 am

It's nothing personal, you understand.

4:43 am

Shirley Ata Hari will be liberated soon?

4:44 am

You'd have to hope so. It feels like she's been away for long enough.

4:44 am

People near those kennels where Hobbit's stationed can't get a wink of sleep because of all the howling.

4:44 am

Indeed. Special Ops seem to be lasting a long time.

4:45 am

I maintain that if you get any authority figure involved in a situation, they milk it.

4:46 am

Imagine the frost when Ata picks up Hobbit? Delight or snubbed. We'll see.

4:46 am

I think the unlimited expense account was a mistake.

4:47 am

I know. Ata and Platinum cards are a dangerous combination. Art supply shops in Oregon are reporting complete buy out.

4:47 am

She's bound to draw attention to herself with all that extra luggage.

4:48 am

Posh Spice will be jealous.

4:48 am

Shameless really. With the nature of the mission, she knows nothing can be said. Smart girl that Ata.

4:49 am

She is Einstein's granddaughter, let's not forget.

4:49 am

How could we forget? BRB

4:50 am

See you later, Lori - I have to go. Boring things to do. Enjoy the grid!

4:53 am

lol, Happy boringness! Laters Haz.

5:38 am

good morning babblers - small puzzle today,eh? comparatively. ;-)

6:25 am

Good morning, what happened to the chat> Silence for half an hour at least

6:51 am

Has Babble Rabble been in the chat? He was sorely missed this morning. But if you live in the western US, wakeup time is three hours laer.

Confession time: who else keyed in 'fartass' hoping that it would be a word???

10:06 am

Hand staying firmly by my side.

10:06 am

lol dachef, I didn't see if but if I had I would have typed it in!!

10:06 am

You're a bit of a stranger these days.

10:07 am

yes, I'm going for the mysterious stranger angle.

10:07 am

Is it paying dividends?

10:08 am

nope. but I'm nothing if not persistent.

10:08 am

If at first you don't succeed, keep trying?

10:08 am

good morning everyone

10:08 am

I keep typing in Tena as in lady, it's never a word *sigh*

10:08 am

morning flosey

10:09 am

Good morning flosey - sleep well?

10:09 am

in all seriousness, now that I'm working at home on my computer, in my time off I try everything to get away from it. babble is good in the very early am though - helps to get the eye in, so to speak.

10:09 am

We miss your unique view on the world, Dachef. Don't be a stranger for ever.

10:10 am

yes thanks Haz, just woke at 8: am

10:10 am

So you've been babbling but not chatting?

10:10 am

my view is not unique - its just not very serious is all.

10:10 am

Afternoon all couldn't help but stop by and say hello for a moment

10:11 am

i can't chat that much anymore. there are far too many strange people taking things too seriously for me. I want to have fun and laugh out loud at the existence of words like 'fartass' in the grid.

10:11 am

no just came into babble, haz, I wake up, turn on computer, then go about morning stuff, now am settling in

10:11 am

I wonder if FM is about - she missed out on tenrec being in the grid, she'll be tickled..... and here she is.

10:11 am

hi FM

10:11 am

It's a nice grid, flosey, now you're wide awake you'll storm through.

10:11 am

Hi dear babble buds :)

10:11 am

hi FM

10:12 am

Hello hello FM - was going to e-mail you to alert you to the presence of the lesser spotted Dachef.

10:12 am

Dachef - great to see you!

10:12 am

Hi flosey and all.

10:12 am

never before has my appearance caused such consternation amongst the female contingent.

10:13 am

Not consternation, Dachef dear, delight and delirium.

10:13 am

anyone have the second af 6 not the bobbing in the water one?

10:13 am

We don't get many men in babble, as you know...

10:14 am

did most last night Haz, just finishing up last 26 this morning

10:14 am

howdy all ;) dachef you sound like my kind of people;)

10:14 am

Have just finished a lengthy call with a client and have to go out shortly but was casting a quick eye over babble and had to fly my icon so not to be forgotten!

10:14 am

af6/27 - three in a boat, ending of mim*** flowing plant.

10:14 am

and haz won't let george out of that closet...

10:14 am

There are plenty of men here .. Some of just don't na6/18 on as much as others ..

10:15 am

Hooray, torgone is here and talking. Hello ruru and hurshy.

10:15 am

ha ha! man power! we are man, we are strong.....

10:15 am

im a tarus,ill yammer on till the end of time:)

10:15 am

Torg, Crossy (())) and Dachef and ruru - funny how they guys come out of the woodword so to speak :)

10:15 am

If we girls keep quiet and let them talk amongst themselves, can we achieve a full page of blue heads?

10:15 am

but you're so funny, tor, you SHOULD na6.

10:15 am

gives dachef the secret many man handshake;)

10:15 am

Never happen ..

10:16 am

Doubt it Haz

10:16 am

nope

10:16 am

You mean we can't keep quiet for a page?

10:16 am

sounds like the result of a very bad diet.

10:16 am

not possible...

10:16 am

I say it can be done.

10:16 am

crossy remanis silent on that 1

10:16 am

*smells testosterone, comes running into chog*

10:16 am

keep on saying it cant be done.

10:17 am

howdy eva:)

10:17 am

lol EvaN

10:17 am

We're doomed now, EvaN is here. She'll not keep quiet for a page.

10:17 am

~8-O

10:17 am

A page is a relative thing based on how big your screen is

10:17 am

Listen, we've had songs sung in harmony on this thing before, surely we can have man chat for a page?

10:17 am

crossy wonder if babble can be page bumped

10:18 am

nope

10:18 am

We're doomed. The men will have bigger screens than the women.

10:18 am

FmItch: is that a euphemism?

10:18 am

If the page is from the top of the blue slider to the bottom?

10:18 am

And if we ladies take a vow of silence for say five minutes?

10:19 am

And if the men keep talking like mad - I say it's possible.

10:19 am

For example mine has 9 log entries right now (given the short sentences that have been typed. LOL Dachef (a nod and a wink and all that).

10:19 am

personally speaking, my screen is HUGE.

10:19 am

*mopes back to work, feeling unloved and unwanted* -EDIT- *mopes SILENTLY back to work, feeling unloved and unwanted*

10:19 am

well i drive a tiny car and have size 12 feet;))

10:19 am

lol dachef

10:19 am

*now she has given the men something to chat about*

10:19 am

((EvaN))

10:19 am

get back here va

10:20 am

You're not unwanted, EvaN, nor unloved. None of that turned down lip nonsense.

10:20 am

I didn't know someone could smell testosterone?

10:20 am

yknow haz, i could probably get the gents chatting by pointing out that i have a new pic up in my flickr group...heh

10:20 am

(She's so high maintenance since she started getting her photos taken with next to nothing on)

10:21 am

Oh ruru you have misse out on so much!

10:21 am

Mass exodus to EvaN's flickr.

10:22 am

Flickr's server suddenly has an overload of traffic!

10:22 am

The hussy! Cleavage AND a motorbike.

10:22 am

mmm biker babes...

10:23 am

ermmmm are we not doing the silence then?

10:23 am

The men won't be able to type for drool.

10:23 am

i have to go and have a lie down now.

10:23 am

totally clueless as to where the photographer found all that cleavage -- lord knows i cant find it when im looking for it...

10:23 am

i need to take up smoking again....

10:23 am

I think we should still do the silence, Dachef, get yourself gathered together.

10:24 am

and what a wonderful cleavage! LOL crossy

10:24 am

i'm going for painkiller, laughing too much

10:24 am

*silent*

10:24 am

what?

10:24 am

Ladies silent from 10.25 log time?

10:24 am

i could fill the page with a dirty limeric...

10:24 am

Shall we sympathise our watches?

10:24 am

and now I have to go hope you are all still here when I get back but if not Happy Babbling!!!!!!!

10:24 am

There was a young man from Dundee, who swallowed a packet of three......

10:25 am

No, cross, you need to have a conversation amongst yourselves. Manly chat, razor blade anecdotes, that sort of thing.

10:25 am

(((fm)))

10:25 am

Bye FM (going into silent mode for five minutes, sitting on hands etc)

10:25 am

ahh i see best way to each a haunch of beef with your hands sort of thing

good morning

10:25 am

Too much pressure. You know men can't perform when theres too much pressure.

10:25 am

10:26 am

hehe suck it up soldier,we ca do it

10:26 am

We could talk about neck hair or something ..

10:27 am

an7: girls name (same as the one above), folowed by golf **e*.

10:27 am

I don't think I have seen so many men in the chog at the same time.

10:27 am

or chat about maxim magazine..

10:27 am

ruru,seems to me there about 12 regulars

10:27 am

golf what?

10:28 am

Its all guys, no women to be found. welcome to the world of reluctant but inevitable homosexuality.

10:28 am

well you go your way

10:28 am

ru: the little pegs you put golf balls on.

10:29 am

half way boys

10:29 am

we could discuss who the hottest woman on the planet is...

10:30 am

I've never seen so many women stay so quiet for so long. If we could bottle this we'd make an absolute FORTUNE!!!!!

10:30 am

or talk about cars and really bore them to death

football

10:30 am

lol dachef,right when its full ill do a screen shot

10:30 am

We have found the way to keep your missus quiet! The queues would be enormous!

10:30 am

7 more slots and its full

10:31 am

6

10:31 am

I can't believe theres not one woman who is not going to interrupt. they always do.

10:31 am

Seriously .. You know those yacky broads ..

10:31 am

actually i like my women chatty when mine goes quiet i know its about to hit the fan

10:32 am

I am imagining the scores of women, all with their fingers itching, their frsutration mounting, red faces.....

10:32 am

Now we're taunting ..

10:32 am

got it.. a bit confused on that one

10:32 am

yaa for the ladies!! full board of blue heads!!!

10:32 am

opps almost

here's some bait - there is a sweet little black cat napping on a pad next to my desk

10:33 am

ohhh oh,punting with kittens?

maybe i should wake her up, maybe blow up a paper back and pop it

bag

10:34 am

you nasty,now good rabbit recipies,thats the way to go

10:34 am

josh: empty crisp packet works well. Or tuirn your computer speakers up to maximum and then put something really loud on.

i could take my glass of water and drip drip drip to see how much she can take

10:35 am

mm one sad thing..when we are on our own,we dont talk about anything usefull:(

10:36 am

not at all. I'm very interested to discover how amny drops of water it takes to wake a sleeping cat.

10:36 am

wait....

10:36 am

3 drops

10:36 am

right off the top of the head

you can't show putting hands inside waistline of trousers, shifting weight from one leg to another, saying "yyyyyep" a lot, through typing on the internet

10:37 am

fantastic!!

10:37 am

but now the thing is clawing my 500 dollar char,guess i showed that cat eh?

cat is now bathing herself

disgusting exhibitionist creature

10:38 am

k all slot on page are officially full

10:38 am

Its been 12 minutes now. That has to be a world record. Someone phone Ripley's.

10:38 am

crossy purs the ladies some champers for thier success

10:39 am

josh: why do cats lick their own privates? Because they can.

10:39 am

indeed

10:39 am

And because they can't make a fist ..

10:40 am

on

10:40 am

I don't like to be the one to say 'I told you so' but I told you it could be done. Well done!

10:40 am

A clue for an 7/28?

10:40 am

wow! that was a rare event;)

10:40 am

just clued below buff

10:40 am

crossy is impressed

10:40 am

*floats back into the chog, all aloof and nonchalant-like*

10:40 am

A team effort. Should we inform the Olympic committtee of a possible new event?

10:41 am

lol, sorry to break the silence, that was an error, started a word and lazy finger hit the enter

10:41 am

and remember we have long memories - dripping water on kitties indeed!

10:41 am

Thanks, ruru - I'll go look -

10:41 am

Haz, definitely. Women being quiet. They'd never believe it.

10:41 am

naw better not haz,actually makes us guys nervous lol

10:41 am

lol, that was great. i came in halfway through, started reading, and then just started watching.

10:41 am

you are witness to a historic event feather

10:41 am

kinda sad the things guys talk about when there arent ladies around to be interesting...

10:42 am

men running out of things to talk about would probably not be so much of a shock!

10:42 am

checked the log, it lasted a whole 15 minutes

10:42 am

lol katie,us guys are not complicated all we want is a berr and to see something neeked;))

10:42 am

It was fun.

10:42 am

I still want to know what happened to the guy from Dundee, who swallowed a packet of three...or do I? :D

10:42 am

rbud. No. You don't.

10:43 am

crossy -- i came as close as decently possible to providing one of those!

10:43 am

lol eva;)

10:43 am

i can still see the cleavage..

10:44 am

I've got it as my screensaver.

10:44 am

lol dachef

10:44 am

there u go evea,your now a screensaver

10:44 am

What if all the women in the chog posted photos of themselves on harleys with cleavage?

10:44 am

try it and we guys will vote on it:))

10:45 am

my computer would explode.

10:45 am

Who knew that your chest as5/10 would please so many men?

10:45 am

oh great. just dont let chris hear you say that. *looks over shoulder, then remembers shes at work, not home*

10:45 am

bbs..poof

10:45 am

lmao at the thought of me with cleavage on a harley

10:47 am

The men are giving the thought due consideration.

10:48 am

I would have felt better if everyone had laughed!

10:49 am

the men are exhausted from that long stretch of chat...?

10:49 am

I have en7/28 to ask someone for something.. can't see the other two

10:49 am

I know. They're not used to it.

10:50 am

en7/28 - to trap

10:52 am

I wondered that too last night hursh

10:52 am

Good point and worthy of consideration, hurshy.

10:52 am

so did you guys get the blue-head-page?

10:52 am

i did MY part.

10:53 am

I kept quiet as well.

10:53 am

*keeps mouth shut tight on that one!*

10:53 am

They achieved a world record of 15 minutes and a full page of blue heads.

10:53 am

hey, the name of my neighborhood is in the grid!

10:53 am

maybe crossy went to fix it up as a screen shot...at least he said he would

10:53 am

Is it point worthy, though?

10:53 am

We're very proud of you girls for managing to keep quiet for a whole 12 minutes. No-one understands more than us men what a tremendous effort it required on your part.

10:54 am

And on that note, I bid you farewell.

10:54 am

bye dachef, have a great day

10:54 am

Thank you, Dachef. Farewell but not for long?

10:54 am

chris hates just a single blue head. let along 12-15 minutes of them... :X

10:54 am

ooh that is good!

10:54 am

haz, do you mean does my neighborhood count? no, it doth not.

10:54 am

does chris need therapy?

10:55 am

It was great, hurshy. To quote Tony Blair, we felt the hand of history on our shoulder.

10:55 am

could I have a clue for as8 please?

10:55 am

Pity about the neighbourhood not counting.

10:55 am

oh yea, up there with obama's election, for sure...

10:55 am

ruru -- he may, but thankfully not for blue-head

10:56 am

hello

howdy haz, glad to see you, and i disagree with bab (from earlier) - you don't take over, you help

11:05 am

Thanks gortmold.

11:05 am

been thinking about that weird interaction all day

11:06 am

It upset me at the time but it's done and I'll just keep giving clues if I want to.

11:06 am

atta-girl, and i'll gladly lap them up

11:07 am

Well done flosey!

11:09 am

11:09 am

Masculine Spanish saint - sa plus anagram of a heavy weight.

11:10 am

11:10 am

I know, flosey, it catches me out as well.

11:11 am

this was a fun grid

11:11 am

and how delightful to see so many blue shirts at one time

11:12 am

great! Older Germans appreciate your presence. Younger ones dont know all the US has done for Germany's survival

11:12 am

Yes, wasn't it fun? I knew it could be done.

11:12 am

thanks haz, got em now, even tho the only spanish words i know are polenta and maria! :)

11:12 am

bottom row A please?

11:12 am

Glad you got there.

11:12 am

love your icon gort!

11:13 am

One is as5/10 - something you treasure, a positive thing

11:13 am

18 more..mostly A's

11:13 am

thanks harp, does chinglish get under your skin in a ticklish way too?

11:16 am

polenta is italian

11:16 am

Also an7/28 - King of Siam's governess, backwards collection of tea-cups or a score level in tennis.

11:17 am

there you go, i'm down to 1 spanish word and now that i think about it, its probably austrian

11:18 am

You're bound to know paella. It's Spanish for sure.

11:18 am

only when i'm not actually trying to assemble something with those directions, gort!

11:18 am

lol, too right harp, never follow chinglish washing instructions - you'll start ww3

11:20 am

tv taught me something today - for schizzle is gen y for for sure

11:21 am

that's fo' shizzle! that's how people know you aren't gen y ;-)

11:21 am

(sorry haz, i really am ignorant of spanish, thought paella was a type of risotto)

11:21 am

yep, that's me, an ancient international ignoramus

11:22 am

It has rice in it plus all sorts of other things, seafood etc.

11:22 am

try saying that with a mouthful of paella

11:22 am

Not to be attempted without napkin to hand!

11:23 am

gort- you would love engrish.com, if you don't already know it.

11:23 am

yeah i have had the pleasure; do you have a favourite, nbj?

11:25 am

i love them all. at a japanese bath house i bought a little makeup case with happy the tapeworm pal

11:25 am

Right, must go to post some letters. Be good!

11:25 am

cheerio haz, thanks for the help

11:26 am

lol nbj, it's every woman's nightmare isn't it, tapeworm on your lippy?

11:27 am

any clues for an6/18?

11:27 am

sorry- that's tickles the tapeworm! "good day. tapeworm of the tickles. the stomach l iving within is for fun. likes much the good food. great friends are we to the extremity. love me tapeworm."

11:28 am

the whole line is called "parasite pals" cause who doesn't think a parasite is cuddly?

11:28 am

an + shortened form of satisfy

11:28 am

extra LOL nbj

11:29 am

on some level, don't we all want tapeworms in our extremities?

11:29 am

it would help with weight loss.

11:30 am

and we'd never get bored - all that tickling

11:31 am

i'm already starting to feel a bond of kinship with Tickles the Tapeworm - i too like much the good food

11:32 am

don't we all! have you been to the pb lately?

11:33 am

why? is it filled with tapeworm food?

11:33 am

ty gortmold

11:33 am

no worries man

11:33 am

mam i mean

11:34 am

and people food, too, insomuch as we all like the same things. i hear tapeworms aren't too picky

11:35 am

i'm told the way to tease them out of one's innards is to dangle a tempting morsel in front of your mouth, baiting them like a fish, dunno if it's true, but it sounds good in a gruesome way

11:36 am

that explains my 10 yo son's eating habits.

11:36 am

lol

11:37 am

he would be the one person i know to really want one as a pet

11:38 am

anyhoo, worm's gotta eat, gort's gotta sleep

11:38 am

nighty night and don't let the parasites bite

11:38 am

jasmine's gotta showr and get on with my day too- gnite!

hi all

11:42 am

hi there Owl

11:43 am

love your icon, Owl

:)

11:45 am

Owl, are you in Annapolis?

yep

11:47 am

are you visiting friends, I have never been there

11:49 am

bother, why didn't i pay attention when haz was doing E clues.

11:51 am

hi Babblers.. have finished the e's if you need help, hursh

11:51 am

nah, not yet. it's one thing to take 'em when they're being tossed out anyway, it's another to play GWHIM.

11:52 am

ok.. uh, GWHIM?

11:52 am

Guess What Hurshy Is Missing...

11:52 am

lol.. gotcha

11:53 am

Afternoon all Aloy!! (()) and Hi all, having a quick break between work stuff again.

11:53 am

Howdy, FM! sipping some tea?

11:54 am

(())

11:54 am

sun is over the yard arm Aloy!

11:54 am

oops, time zone..

11:55 am

Is todays grid a breeze or a sleaze?

11:55 am

11:55 am

vroom vroom vroom

11:55 am

it's a brabble!!

11:55 am

in roars BabbleRabble.. hi there!

11:56 am

Ok might have a go later, my rankings are plumeting but the chat is still great.

11:56 am

HowDy, folks

11:57 am

Hi BR

11:58 am

started the grid this am, took a break for some yardwork, came back and saw lots more with "fresh" eyes.. haven't found many weirdo words.. nice grid!

11:59 am

We are due to have summer again tomorrow and the day after (yay) high 20s!

11:59 am

it's just a little dizzying with 5 A's, 3 T's, 3 E's, 3 S's, 3 N's, 3 O's...

11:59 am

ooh.. do you have ac?

11:59 am

can't remember what that temp is in the proper scale (how quickly one forgets)

12:00 pm

Nope no a/c in the flat or the car :)

12:01 pm

but frankly don't need it as Brit weather is georgous up to about 75 degrees and that is a rarity

12:01 pm

we rarely need it either.. as my bro says (he is a Fla. res.), you have "Mother Nature's AC".. free!

12:02 pm

LOL

12:02 pm

i dunno, when i was there in july 2006, it was HOOOOT

12:02 pm

Oh wow the Brit. triple jumper just broke the world record yaaaaaay

12:02 pm

hi Deeha!

12:03 pm

True hurshy but it doesn't last for months like in other countries.

12:03 pm

hi folks half babbling half watching great athletics no wonder I am not doing too well

12:03 pm

Good morning all .) Only one eye open... require liquid stimulant...

12:03 pm

Hi Deeha!

12:04 pm

*passes coffee to TK**

12:04 pm

um, where are you Kate?

12:04 pm

but how will this change in the future? this is what worries me about england.

12:04 pm

Toronto, Canada...sorry it's not more exotic

12:05 pm

For us it can only get better hursh, a little more of the Mediterranean climate will be great (for a while)

12:05 pm

lol, no.. I meant since you were just waking up.. thought maybe you were way west of here

12:06 pm

saw a comedian recently that said 'global warming? I'm Welsh - bring it on'!!

12:06 pm

No just feeling very lazy and shiftless. Am off right now and the heat has knocked the stuffing out of me...up very late last night

12:06 pm

phantom: wappenshaw

12:06 pm

wow, hot in Toronto!

12:07 pm

more than one SN?

12:07 pm

lol BR.. only one, hurshy

12:07 pm

no

12:07 pm

LOL deeha

12:07 pm

It's been a killer. 10 days 40 humidex, 30 degrees. NO AIR CONDITIONING...

12:08 pm

gorsh, then why do i need so many more S's

12:08 pm

it's hot days like this where i'm grateful to have work to go to, where THEY pay for the AC!

12:08 pm

ouch, Kate.. I've seen people wrapped in wet towels, sleeping on lawns during hot sticky weather with no AC

12:08 pm

Urf that is tough TK

12:09 pm

Just had to shut my garden door in spoite of heat because neighbour keeps clearing his throat and spitting Blah

12:09 pm

11 sa

12:09 pm

Was waiting for a fax from a client and it has just come in so must poof. Happy Babbling!

12:09 pm

ok, i need three more of those.

12:10 pm

considered it...opted for a soak in cool tub...didn't help for long...the nights aren't cooling much

12:10 pm

bye, poofer.. see you next time!

12:10 pm

14 se

12:11 pm

people come and go so quickly around here Toto!

12:11 pm

bbs.. hubby needs help!

12:11 pm

3 sl

12:12 pm

bye aloyisius

12:12 pm

here is one of my old tricks, kate. right before bed, get in a cool shower until you feel better. gradually turn up the heat until it's a HOT shower. when you get out, the air will feel cooler by comparison. immediately lie down with a fan blowing directly on you.

12:13 pm

Nekkid??

12:13 pm

if you like!

12:14 pm

but you can put on nightclothes first.

12:14 pm

Here is a temperature guideline: German schools close when temp is 30 degrees Celsius at 10 am. That is 88 degrees Fahrenheit.

12:14 pm

the key is just to get lying down in the fan before you start to feel hot again.

12:14 pm

it's been necessary, hursh...can't take the heat these last few years

12:15 pm

got the fan going full blast

12:15 pm

What do you trade, Kate?

12:15 pm

we're i9nterupting BR's clue gathering.

12:16 pm

stocks mostly

12:16 pm

he's not gathering, he's giving, so i know what s's i miss

12:16 pm

Nah, I am just being a gadfly ... sorry to interlope

12:16 pm

gotcha...need to keep up. you folks are quick

12:17 pm

so i need 3 sa, 3 se, and i suppose that means 2 so

12:17 pm

interlopers always welcomeBR

12:17 pm

and you're not an interloper, you're a regular!

12:19 pm

more time- consuming than facebook, but loads more fun....only second day

12:19 pm

sigh... it really sucks that alien species NEVER count

12:20 pm

i know, i know, they'd be proper nouns anyway.

12:21 pm

still don't get why it took alma but not ipso (or spam) yesterday... should dictionary be updated?

12:22 pm

of course the dictionary should be updated. that's always the way it is.

12:22 pm

i know...suck it up and quit whining...

12:24 pm

The only rule that matters is to never count on any other rule.

12:24 pm

I am alweays amazed it will take wog and poof but not slut??? Sexism???

12:25 pm

not to mention piss/pissy

12:27 pm

wallpapering, gotta go.. critical "around the window" time! Happy Babbling all.. poof

12:29 pm

be well, Aloyisius

12:39 pm

Sith works ..

12:40 pm

Like in Star Trek ..

12:41 pm

what's it mean?

12:41 pm

lont

12:42 pm

did it again. more coffee..>>>>>>>>>>PB

12:42 pm

I guess it means hurshy's not here anymore ..

12:44 pm

hello everyone

12:46 pm

Heya jacq

12:48 pm

heya tor, sorry got lost in the grid

12:53 pm

to that (OE & ME) and since from siththan (ME)

12:55 pm

Star WARS

12:55 pm

torgone, the Sith are part of Star Wars, not Star Trek, which would not matter to anyone except Star Trek fans ... ;D

12:56 pm

(Psst, everyone, Tor always pretends to confuse Star Trek and Star Wars just to tease hurshy.)

12:56 pm

lol

12:56 pm

Ah, I wondered! Thanks, Vi... (torgone, you behave!)

12:57 pm

I see, Vicuna. It works - I'm confused. I always am.

12:58 pm

lol. I just couldn't let folks worry! ;)

12:58 pm

I'm an imp ..

12:59 pm

Glad to meet another then, torgone. ;)

12:59 pm

Rats .. work .. bbl ..

Hey everyone. How is everyone hanging today?

1:00 pm

Me too, must dash . . . *POOF!*

1:00 pm

Now, 'imp' would be from Realms of Fantasy science fiction, or Robert Heinlein's book "Job: A Comedy of Justice" (also science fiction) :D

Oh man, I chased all the boyz away!

1:01 pm

I did that a lot as a child, red... probably why my first date did not happen until I was 19 ! :)

1:01 pm

love heinlein

Well, that probably saved you from a lot of issues....

1:02 pm

Me too, Trader. Have read all his work, starting with Podkayne of Mars when I was about 9 years old.

1:04 pm

fav?

1:04 pm

Bounce Gay Bounce!!!

1:04 pm

I have been slogging through, David and Ann Meet Spot

1:04 pm

oh gosh... probably the Lazarus Long books - all of them. Especially Time Enough for Love.

1:05 pm

Number of vthe beast?

1:06 pm

BR you're Just having us on...

1:06 pm

ooh, good one! Loved his titles, like The Cat Who Walked Through Walls, and the aforementioned Job

1:06 pm

also loved the kitten too young bto know she couldn't walk through walls

1:06 pm

Heinlein rocks. Evening all!

1:07 pm

Hey sprite! your fav?

1:07 pm

Stranger in a Strange Land is a classic, of course. I remember when it was considered an underground subversive book.

1:07 pm

one of many

1:07 pm

no one mentioned stranger in...

1:08 pm

Oh, The Glory Road! I LOVED that one, and still refer to myself at times as Empress of the Twenty Universes :)

1:08 pm

I think I loved that book about the Moon most... not sure of english title. Where the Moon becomes a free nation/world.

1:08 pm

ch are you subversive?

1:08 pm

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.

1:08 pm

indeed :D

1:09 pm

I suspect all Heinlein fans have a streak of subversiveness :D

1:09 pm

How true...vicarious thrills

1:09 pm

I loved the whole notion of liberal anarchism... the political view of the Professor.

1:10 pm

I read Farnham's Freehold when the fears of atomic wars were still fresh, and we were practicing "Duck and Cover" drills, so the book was immensely frightening and thrilling.

1:10 pm

he really was fantastic

1:11 pm

And Double Star helped shape my early political beliefs. Such a fun read!

1:11 pm

Jules Verne, Heinlein and Asimov were my first sf writers. Still love them very much.

1:12 pm

didn't read that one - don't think. what's it aboot?

1:12 pm

Wow, I haven't read any Heinlein in years --- I think it's time to start re-reading again. And Asimov was right up there with Heinlein for me. And Arthur C. Clarke, Bradbury, Harlan Ellison, Ursula K., Zelzany, James Blish ... too many!

fireworks

1:13 pm

didn't like asimov so much don't know why...love verne

1:13 pm

gratz josh

1:14 pm

too many books so little time...sadly i don't read very much any more...life got busy and i got out of the habit...

1:14 pm

all good ones, ch!

1:14 pm

Double Star was about the original story (set on Mars) that the movie "Dave" mimicked. An unemployed actor who doubles for a world leader, and eventually takes on the role. Though in the movie, Dave returned to his old life.

1:14 pm

what is the distinguishing feature of liberal anarchism, sprite?

1:14 pm

uh oh...Rabble Trouble...

1:15 pm

a liberal anarchist is willing to accept all rules and regulations somebody else needs to feel safe or happy... as long as they don't limit himself.

1:15 pm

I'm jumping back into the grid. Thanks for the memories, all!

1:15 pm

have a nice jump, ch

1:16 pm

ch thanks I'll go find that one it sounds a bit familliar

1:17 pm

scary in a post 9/11 world sprite

hi br!!!!

hi sprite, trader, ch1212, etc.

the lurkerz, Hi to you too!

1:18 pm

hi red!

1:19 pm

hey red

1:19 pm

not to me

1:19 pm

so I suppose the difference between a liberal anarchist and conservative anarchist are the rules and regulations each is willing to accept as unlimiting

sprite is my icon showing canasta?

1:19 pm

absolutely, ch! Good one :)

ok because o my computer it stils shows turtle

1:20 pm

Hello, H

1:21 pm

I see canasta

1:21 pm

the essence is that only individuals can be responsible, not something like 'The State' or "The Government". As far as I know, a conservative anarchist will not accept any rules or regulations at all, while a liberal one accepts all as long as they don't pose a conflict with his own conscience.

Yaaay1 I love your ICon BR. My Mom likes to photograph poppies, is it a poppy or tulip.

ahhh tulip...

1:24 pm

so anarchists want no part of communitarianism in the larger sense of preferring at times the good of the all to the good of the individual?

1:26 pm

as I understood the Professor, the good of the all can come before the good of the individual, as long as the individual is free to choose to make it so

1:27 pm

If the are three individuals and two agree, may they complell the third to comply?

1:27 pm

no

1:27 pm

for a liberal anarchist, it is ok if they try. But the third person is free to make up his own mind.

Aaarrrrugh, Dog who has been walked is being now barky and annoying will have to walk him again....whine, my legs hurt.

1:28 pm

compliance is a matter of self-determination...you may be an outcast but you have a choice

1:28 pm

come on red, if he is been walked, he will have to behave :)

1:29 pm

so anarchy in essence is chaos

1:29 pm

I believe that is true

1:31 pm

in my opinion there's not much difference... but pol. sci. is not my forte...only VERY casual interest

1:32 pm

I am very apolitical. Politicians are pro liars. That is probably why I like Heinlein's liberal anarchism as explained by the Professor.

1:33 pm

shouldn't you be BABBLEPHILOSOPHER?

1:33 pm

I SHOULDN'T be anything

1:33 pm

lol

1:33 pm

sorry,sprite, meant BR

1:33 pm

hey jacq :)

1:33 pm

nonconformity

1:34 pm

hi clue on the ne 5 & 6 please

1:34 pm

heya sprite interesting chog interesting views

1:34 pm

exactly, grin. And I think Rabble is correct. Very good name :)

1:34 pm

you're right sprite you should be what and who you choose...no one should dictate your heart to you.

1:34 pm

hi roncook

1:34 pm

sorry l ment na 5 &6

1:34 pm

within the city I live in is an incorporated town ... some folks decided to try to save money by incorporating their properties ... spring flooding is a problem ... my city has spent large sums to protect its residents from flooding ... now the incorporated town in our midst is complaining that the flood protection does not protect them ... would an anarchist say, what ye sow, so shall ye reap?

1:35 pm

if we put all the nonconformists in a boat and sailed them away this world would be a very dull place

1:35 pm

hi sprite

1:35 pm

always leery of too many social mores that hold people back

1:36 pm

the world would be doomed. Without change, all will come to a standstill. So hail the nonconformists, rebels and freethinkers! :)

1:36 pm

tou can't have your cake and eat it too...trite, but a propos

na6 jack toad

1:37 pm

I have one na6 that rhymes with a thing to put your food on

na5 rhymes with garden door

1:38 pm

BabbleRabble: I think a true anarchist would have done all he could for his community (of which he is a part), but would not do so because of some rule or law, but because he wants to.

1:38 pm

hail the nutters too, because without them nobody would look normal

hello all bablers

1:39 pm

ah, normal! Now that is something really crazy.

1:39 pm

heya Chrissie

1:39 pm

hi Chrissie

1:39 pm

Thank you all

1:39 pm

point of order...what's normal???

1:40 pm

i agree to a certain extent with your view sprite, but are you thinking more of a social conscience?

we are all normal (based on our own experience)

1:40 pm

normal is subjective .. if there are 100 here, there are 100 opinions on what is normal

1:41 pm

I don't call myself a liberal anarchist! But I do like the Professor's POV. And he would probably say there is no such thing as a social conscience, a conscience is a personal thing.

1:41 pm

<<< ab (solutely not) normal

1:42 pm

old Quaker saying: "Everyone is queer but thee and me; and I'm not so sure about thee"...

1:42 pm

nice quote Kate

1:43 pm

did not realize Quakers were so humble

1:43 pm

lol

1:43 pm

normal means conform the norm. It is an average. Hence it may not reflect even one single person.

1:43 pm

don't know why I remember that one, guess it must apply to odd ducks like me...

1:43 pm

lol

1:45 pm

scottish saying "There`s nought so queer as folk" !

1:45 pm

ah ron, I love that one!

1:45 pm

true saying that

1:45 pm

the best...

1:46 pm

but then the debates becomes what is the norm. if anarchists may self-determine, an average is of little use. subjectivity reigns

1:47 pm

two words : bell curve

1:47 pm

yes, that would be correct. Which is one of the things I like. Judging people according an average can't be right or respectful.

1:48 pm

a bell curve is an objective tool that does not take into account the individual's right to disagree

1:48 pm

surely we all self determine after all an anarchist is only someone who won't comply to their idea of the norm and even anarchists view others as anarchists

1:48 pm

there would be no bell curve if there were no diversions from the norm.

1:48 pm

but there are fuzzy parameters that most fall into

1:49 pm

no deviations is highly unlikely

1:49 pm

there is no absolute norm. people are not a series of numbers that can be quantified as a mathematical operation

1:49 pm

heck, I deviate from my immutable principles

1:50 pm

deviations. Thanks, I knew I had the wrong word.

1:50 pm

again, subjective...norm varies from culture to culture.

1:50 pm

lol you do! Human after all, hm?

1:51 pm

no ones principles are absolute...ethics 101

1:51 pm

the human factor is chaos on two legs you can predict several factors in anything but can never predict the human factor

1:51 pm

chaos theory does na good job...

1:52 pm

Asimov formulated laws that could predict the human factor, but only for people in huge quantities, never for the individual or small groups.

1:54 pm

which, for those who know Asimov's books about the Foundation, makes it funny that Trantor is almost in the grid today...

1:56 pm

Are you doing better today, sprite? How is the little lion?

1:57 pm

am still in a lot of pain and legs won't cooperate. But Terra is doing much better! He ate almost normally, his eyes are back to normal and he walks pretty good. Not as much ... (word)... ducking through his hind legs anymore. Looks like keeping him from taxing his hips too much is having an effect!

1:58 pm

Hope you find some relief, sprite.

1:59 pm

thank you, BabbleRabble. I trust I will, in time. Am being good most of the time, rest a lot, so some reward should be due :)

2:00 pm

helllo all

2:00 pm

helllo all

2:00 pm

hello all

2:00 pm

hi periwinkle

2:00 pm

what happened to your dog, sprite?

2:00 pm

sprite i hope you get better soon

2:00 pm

Hello, peri

2:00 pm

sorry, just read the chog

2:01 pm

thanks jacq :)

2:02 pm

periwinkle: vet thinks there is too much room (?) in Terra's hips, and they are very painful. It might become a condition that is not unknown for this breed. It showed after he had a virus. If it doesn't improve, vet will take X-rays in about 6 weeks to see if something shows.

2:03 pm

glucosamine sulphate helps also chondroitin and msm... you can get them together or separately in capsules or tablets...put in food...

2:04 pm

takes a while for it to work but lots have had good results...also a liquid concentrate but expensive

2:06 pm

what is hr k. c. cocker spaniel?

2:06 pm

sorry to hear that about Terra, sprite

2:07 pm

terra is a king charles cavalier spaniel

2:07 pm

adorable pics...what's a chog?

2:07 pm

peri, we take all precautions and I give him lots of reiki, and I am stubbornly positive we will get it right.

2:42 pm

2:42 pm

I am willing for it to hold off to avoid delaying your flight -- or maybe it could just rain and then stop

it was extremely humid this am in DC too cold in the

lounges...urgh!

3:26 pm

hello all

3:26 pm

at least you can babble!

3:26 pm

hi peri!

3:26 pm

nrkii, did you have your doctor's appt?

3:26 pm

hi peri!!!

I love staying home all day. I have to admit. I am a lazee human.

3:27 pm

yes, and it's the first time I've ever seen my surgeon CHEERFUL... I think it's because he got his braces off

3:27 pm

I need something to occupy me or I eat eat eat

3:27 pm

me too (lazy) red

3:27 pm

help with last se6/18 pls

3:27 pm

lol nrkii

ha! but importantly, what did the surgeon say?

3:27 pm

what did he say/recommend/nrkii?

3:27 pm

se + foot appendages, anagrammed

3:28 pm

thanks nrkii

3:28 pm

he said, "so you had a little setback... suck it up, keep exercising, and be patient"

3:28 pm

be he actually said it much more nicely than that

3:28 pm

he also said if it isn't hurting then there's no need for more surgery

3:28 pm

oh, ok

3:28 pm

at least no more surgery

3:28 pm

which is a big relief

3:28 pm

that's god though nrkii, isn't it?

3:29 pm

good

3:29 pm

sound like good news to me

3:29 pm

it is very good... it was the first time I have left that office in a good mood

3:29 pm

then I came home and got on the phone with NJ Unemployment, and my good mood got shot to hell

3:29 pm

:)

3:30 pm

:-(

Eeew, your shoulder is no longer hurting? thats good.

3:30 pm

uh, oh, what did they have to say

3:30 pm

it doesn't hurt bad, or constantly red

3:31 pm

when I first aggravated it, it took a while for the pain and irritation to go away

Well that is good, but the unemployent offcie not so nice?

3:31 pm

peri, they're just idiots... they don't know their own rules

3:31 pm

it is hard to deal with idiots

3:31 pm

if you do self-employment work, you are supposed to report it, but answer the question "did you work" with a NO (it gets reported on another line)

3:32 pm

but on the phone, they were insisting I had to put YES in both places

3:32 pm

so now, they think I messed up a few weeks ago, and haven't been reporting properly, so now they're holding up my $ until I have a phone interview with an examiner in 2 weeks

3:32 pm

petty bureaucrats

3:32 pm

oh, dear

3:32 pm

I followed their rules explicitly in the online filing

3:33 pm

oh no that is so unfair!

3:33 pm

but yesterday I had to do it by phone, and that's what messed me up

3:33 pm

the point is that if you work a few hours of self-employment, it's not supposed to count against your collecting unemployment... there's a whole formula they use, etc... so you have to report it a very specific way

3:34 pm

the way they want me to do it, I might as well not do ANY work at all...

3:35 pm

which is totally self-defeating, which is why their actual rules make more sense than their employees

3:35 pm

clue for first en 7/28 please

3:36 pm

and quoting the rules made no difference I suppose

3:36 pm

en7 28 = to trap, or catch in a trap

3:36 pm

jmc, she just told me I was wrong about the rules

3:36 pm

and she talked to a supervisor or coworker and came back and told me again

3:37 pm

did you have a cite?

3:37 pm

a cite?

3:37 pm

ty nrkii that gave me two words.

3:37 pm

if there is a rule then there is a regulation or law that the rule comes from

3:37 pm

btw ty nrkii

3:38 pm

no, I just have the online form, if I can ever get back to it... I couldn't use it yesterday, which is what started the whole mess

3:38 pm

I knew I was in trouble when the phone automated system asked me if I was sure I wanted to answer that way, after I said yes to self employment work

3:38 pm

step into my office nrkii *pulls out chair*

3:38 pm

they clearly don't want you to tell the truth

3:40 pm

lol, jmc...

3:40 pm

try calling your state legislature's office -- of4 they have a staff person who is an expert with these issues and can cut through the red tape

3:40 pm

the other people to consider talking to is legal aid -- there are always 4 or 5 lawyers there who are experts on unemployment

3:41 pm

well, we'll see what happens on the 31st... hopefully it will get cleared up and I can move on

3:41 pm

*comes in just to give nrk a BIG (but gentle) hug and wanders out again* holding you in the light, my friend.

3:41 pm

but I will do that jmc if I need to

3:41 pm

if you can get by until the 31st then that is the best plan

3:41 pm

thanks stid... actualy other than sudden dizziness, and memories of freaking unbelievable headache at 5am, I'm good

3:42 pm

but it wouldn't hurt to talk to the legal aid lawyers prior to the interview so that you have your ducks *quack quack* in a row

3:42 pm

hmmmm, good thought jmc, I will check into that

3:43 pm

I just wish I had a screen shot of their online form!

3:43 pm

*shining up supreme court bar certificate* no problem my dear

3:44 pm

well check for the form or get a friend to check each day until you get the screen shot

jmc, try this: not the stern of ship, but af* + the initials of the 50 states country, except change the first initial to another vowel

4:29 pm

af6...af plus go ** jail because it is **fer there than on the streets

4:29 pm

thats a good clue ch1212

4:30 pm

ooo 25 mil would solve a lot of my problems LOL

4:30 pm

$25 million sure would make my life easier

4:30 pm

me too! I hate it when they can't even use proper grammar or spell the words right so it would look legitimate

4:30 pm

ty chch I was getting lost at the 20th letter -- obviously I need to count better

4:31 pm

20th letter is the T

4:31 pm

I could even just give it to the Center and then what with getting paid and everything

4:31 pm

yw -- I give great thanks for Kazzer's clue, because otherwise I would still be lost :)

4:31 pm

I know that now phae ;-) ty

4:32 pm

I am so exhausted after sleeping so poorly last night.

4:32 pm

so sorry scrab

4:32 pm

ok, jmc...just trying to helpful (sniff)

4:32 pm

Heat issues or something else, scrab?

4:33 pm

I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry

4:33 pm

I often do not sleep well on Monday nights after a return to work and having a busy, overstimulating day.

4:33 pm

(she musta slept in her kayak)

4:33 pm

didn't think I snapped I'm sorry

4:33 pm

ouch!

4:33 pm

It would be nice to sleep in my kayak while floating on a lake

4:33 pm

is ok, jmc :)

4:34 pm

ah, I understand. Hope you sleep blissfully tonight.

4:34 pm

wouldn't you turn over and drown?

4:34 pm

so I found the oddest thing in my mother's photos

4:34 pm

These A words are terrible!

4:34 pm

a bunch of photos of random people marked on the back: north of 36

4:34 pm

what was it jmc?

4:35 pm

Not on quiet water, but I would probably bump into the shore somewhere

4:35 pm

north of what 36? route 36? parallel 36? or maybe it means older than 36!

4:35 pm

that is weird jmc

4:35 pm

they included a photo of railroad tracks and a depot that looked fake that said Abilene

4:36 pm

Nephew (21) is leaving to have dinner with his gf who is going off to college tomorrow

4:36 pm

clue for the first an7?

4:37 pm

so my sister research and found a best seller from 1923 with the name north of 36 and then I found a movie from 1924 and it turns out one of the shooting locations was Houston, my home town

4:37 pm

you slipping your nephew a $20?

4:37 pm

Strange, jm

4:37 pm

4 letter girls name plus ***s of the d*urbervilles

4:37 pm

was your mother an actress?

4:37 pm

so apparently these were photos of a 1924 movie

4:38 pm

my first an7 is the old tv bunny

4:38 pm

ty kazzer

4:38 pm

lord no, my mother was a HS English teacher

4:38 pm

TY, ch1212, that gave me 3 words

4:38 pm

one before that ch1212

4:39 pm

pl that twice ch1212 for two 8's

4:39 pm

jmc, did she live near where it was filmed

4:39 pm

I did but thanks :)

4:40 pm

ty phae

4:40 pm

good point, phaeton - she might have visited the set as an onlooker, or been an extra in a crowd scene

4:40 pm

yw jmc

4:40 pm

she did live in Houston in 1924 --she would have been 11

4:40 pm

Rain has stopped and sun is out again. How weird to change so quickly.

4:41 pm

I think her older sister or her sister's beau may have taken the photos

4:41 pm

maybe someone else took the pics...like her mother or father..older brother or sister

4:41 pm

but it had baffled me for some time and it was interesting to find out what the photos were

4:42 pm

I wonder if Turner Classic Movies would buy them? ;-)

4:42 pm

That's cool jmc!

7:17 pm

house of congress

TY BR could have sworn I entered that 15 times with no success, but I see now, I did not!

7:39 pm

good evening everyone - I am taking a break from a most unpleasant chore - coming in to see your smiling faces :)

S's squished.... Wow I chased everyone away!

Hi JBV, i think its only me....oddly.

7:40 pm

and me!

7:40 pm

<[:+(

7:40 pm

hi red - i'm here - we are in phase one of redoing our basement. first step is to go through years and years of accumulated everything and pack/toss/recycle/throw away/laugh/cry/scream, etc.

7:41 pm

hi red, hi BR, and hi Une!!

7:41 pm

hey, red, JBV, and BR!

7:42 pm

JBV, what a challenge!!

7:42 pm

it's like an archaeological dig down there - the history of our lives, layer by layer, and we are purging mercilessly

7:42 pm

hi

7:42 pm

hey, kje :-)

7:42 pm

hi kje

7:43 pm

very pretty icon, une

7:43 pm

tx kje -- a photo a friend took last spring at a gardening show

Woow, big job jbv will ne nice when done though.

Une it is pretty.

KJe, I have a question.

7:44 pm

oh no

Its sort of an easy one.

7:45 pm

multiple choice?

Well, I could make it that way, or true or false...

7:45 pm

k

Is it possible to have like an atheletes foot problem for months and not have it spread....? One spot on my foot itches and I was thinking it could be that, but its been itchy for over a year, and only in one spot. Athletes foot true or false?

7:47 pm

hello?

7:47 pm

o

7:47 pm

hard to know wthout looking at it - derm is all visual

7:48 pm

red, i'm not a doctor (or nurse) but I have had athlete's foot off and on since i was 8 years old - try some Tinactin on it and if it goes away, it was athlete's foot

Theres nothing on the foot. Maybe I shall get some of the over the counter stuff and try it.

7:48 pm

have you tried an antifungal?

7:48 pm

and yes, it can be confined to one area and not spread

7:48 pm

oh, it just itches, but can't see anything?

JBV thats a good idea, I have not tried anything. TOmorro I shall go get something!

very very itchy...

and the sole of your foot is an odd place to scratch.

OK, thanks JBV, Now back to our regularly scheduled babbling.

7:50 pm

unlikely to be athlete's foot or ring worm (both fungi and both treatbale with topical) without anything on the skin

7:50 pm

I've earnt my earnt - pay it babble!

Maybe just tichy.

7:52 pm

is something irrritating it? like rubbing when you run or something?

No, not that I can tell, have had varieties of shoes, just this week realized it has been that way for a long time. I really though you could have atheletes foot without seeing stuff...

7:53 pm

well, maybe you just can't see it - should at minimal see microfissures and scaling, but you likely can't see the bottom of your foot all that well -

7:53 pm

my recommendation - amputation

7:53 pm

I can be irritating

7:54 pm

without the topical treatment, athlete's foot itch just gets worse and worse, then cracking, etc...

7:54 pm

or you can take JBV's advice and give a trial of antifungal

7:54 pm

*sprays antifungal all over ru*

Hi RU!

7:55 pm

good luck finishing, redT .. time to vamose

Actually I can bend up my foot and see it very well. I can still put the foot behind my head too, but it gets a bit stuck there.

Bye BR, I only have 2 left.

7:55 pm

only ones left here are those who can tolerate a fungal chat

I tried to return us to regular scheduled babbling.

7:56 pm

may I introduce a new topic?

7:56 pm

hmmmm

please!

7:56 pm

red - i think aromatherapy should do the trick

7:56 pm

I have been having a most intense reading experience -

7:57 pm

decided to finally get around to War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy

7:57 pm

there's a fungus among us. hi, folks!

7:57 pm

yes welk - it's called ruru

7:57 pm

an4 after the water buffalo?

wow jbv, how much do you cover a day??

7:58 pm

one of those things i've always thought I should have read but never did - and I can't believe i have lived this long without knowing it

7:58 pm

yay jbv!

7:58 pm

i aim for about 25 pages a day, i'm almost there -

Yay fireworks...

7:59 pm

I feel as if I am living in the 19th century

7:59 pm

yayayay red

Is it heavy? I think I was supposd to read it one summer, but only read bits and pieces...sorry but was 15....

7:59 pm

i need to get dressed - brb

8:00 pm

it's so powerful in so many ways - as a story, the characters are so real, but it's also history/politics/commentary - all in one -

8:00 pm

in a way, I think i'm glad i waited til now, 15 years is definitely too young, you have to know about living and dying to know what a genius Tolstoy was

8:01 pm

you have been naked here? kje?

8:01 pm

as a matter of fact, yes i was.... was chillin after the bath

8:02 pm

woooo eee

I would agree, I also had to try to analyze Hamlet that year, uggh.

8:04 pm

I am so easy to impress

Ok, I imagine its not the first time that anyone has been neekkid in here....

and with that and my fungus problem discussion I shall bow out. Good night all!!!

8:05 pm

ahhhh ... memories of beowulf and the miller's tale

8:06 pm

had to shower when i got home....

8:06 pm

bye red

8:07 pm

the valet brought me my car and the seat was wet... I asked him what hahppened and he said he had been sweating running for the cars in the heat...

8:07 pm

ewww!

8:07 pm

ughhhh

8:07 pm

so when I sat down, it just soaked through my shirt and pants.... ugh... so i came home and stripped as soon as I got in the door, then jumped in the bath

8:08 pm

I'm a little afraid tomorrow that the car will smell, and it will be like that seinfeld episode with the BO

8:08 pm

ohhh that's pretty icky. understandable, but icky. kid should carry a towel to sit on ... a BIG FAT ABSORBENT with a waterproof barrier towel!

8:08 pm

leather seats?

8:09 pm

a surgical procedure that severs a nerve, I think

11:14 pm

because I am having a truly awful time with this one, and had forgotten how bad they were before I had the medicine that helps.

11:15 pm

doesn't comp. screen make it worse?

11:15 pm

hm. I will have to look at that one, the trigeminal nerve, I presume, since it is one of the ones implicated in migraines.

11:15 pm

sometimes Kate -- but in this case it's an LED screen so no flicker and it's okay on "dim" setting.

11:16 pm

help with my last one pls? Se5 after mailed

11:16 pm

add a vowel, gort

11:16 pm

okay, just thought the glare would aggrivate it maybe light sunglasses or does pressure make it worse?

11:17 pm

thanks bab

11:17 pm

se 5: add a vowel.

11:17 pm

thanks stid

11:17 pm

11:18 pm

old manual ones..not even electric..they always skipped if you didn't hit the keys hard enough. jthen they marked you down for the mistake

11:30 pm

I had some two inch nails .. used them for a birdhouse

11:31 pm

I love coming in and reading back to see what the lay of the land is

11:35 pm

How self involved do you have to be to talk about your own 2" nails for an hour...wasn't sanything else happening in the world?

11:36 pm

Kate- nice to see you are taking a liking to us

11:37 pm
