12:33 am

I've put a beautiful big photo of my Valerie in my Picasa album, ruru - one I took of her very recently, while we were walking on the beach. It's at the link in my bio - then click on the first photo in the set, to view them from the album, on another page.

hi guys...just popped in for some words of encouragement...I am presenting our next year's budget to our new Exec Director tomorrow morning...it's his way of auditioning me for the job of Administrator Director...

12:47 am

Hi, PAV! :)

12:47 am

Long time no see?

12:47 am

good luck pav.. knock em dead

12:47 am

Administration Director, sorry

12:48 am

er de 4

12:48 am

Go to the URL in my bio, Pav - have photos of my dogs posted in the set, on that page - click the first photo, to be taken to another page where you can view them larger, and go through them all.

halfway

12:48 am

My dogs and my cat, and chickens, etc.

12:48 am

I have been working too long for the past two weeks putting the budget together and pretty much ignoring Babble...my apologies for lost conversations and missed news...

12:49 am

good luck Pav

12:49 am

oooh, PAV, that sounds like a good deal - you don't mind giving presentations? I used to get such butterflies...

12:50 am

152 words - 130 left.

12:50 am

good luck PAV, sounds like you are well prepared

12:50 am

I enjoy explaining numbers to people...I hate the notion of "auditioning" though....

12:51 am

Sounds like you've been very busy, PAV . . .

12:51 am

busy and now stressing...my departing boss will be there to lend only moral support...

12:52 am

well, best of luck, I'm sure you'll do great! (((PAV)))

12:53 am

so for now it's adieu, perhaps some good/better news after the weekend...

12:53 am

oblique icon clue posted (you'll have to click on it to read it)

12:53 am

12:54 am

bye, PAV, and go for it!

12:54 am

Did you see what I said to you earlier here, PAV?

12:54 am

Oh, never mind then . . . :/ Take care, Pav.

12:55 am

yes...linking to pics before I sleep...

12:55 am

Oh, OK Pav . . . :)

190 down - g'night and good luck

12:56 am

Have you seen them, Jilli? I've put one of my cat in there.

12:56 am

She's a little odd looking . . .

12:57 am

this is in your yahoo spot, jc?

12:57 am

wow. I got to 220 pretty quickly

12:57 am

No, Jilli - my Google profile and Picasa album, at the link in my Babble profile.

12:57 am

wow ru, good for you

12:57 am

go, ru, go!!

12:57 am

Erm, Jilli - you haven't seen my Yahoo page in the past couple of days, have you? :P

12:58 am

There's a lot of silliness going on there right now, Jilli - so if you look, be warned! ;)

12:58 am

JC, I can't keep up with all your sites! I did see your google one a day or two ago.

12:58 am

I've posted a horrible old promotional pic of me - it's dreadful, HAHAHA! :P

12:59 am

On Yahoo, that is . . .

12:59 am

All because of something Laura and Janet said . . .

12:59 am

And the comments my friends have been leaving there, are very silly! :P

12:59 am

I only have those now, Jilli - not much to keep up with. ;)

1:00 am

J. C...I really like your photos...the dogs, the cute little chicky and of course that blue (silk?) suit...

1:00 am

Not silk PAV, no - I won't wear silk.

1:01 am

oh yes, JC -- unusual markings on your tortie cat!

1:01 am

Thanks - Valerie's in that one, too.

1:01 am

what's wrong with silk?

1:01 am

Yes, Jilli - she is a little strange looking!

1:01 am

hmmm...looks nice anywhooo...and I love the colour blue in most variations....

1:02 am

Valerie looks alot like my friends' two pets ...adopted almost two years apart they look identical

1:04 am

well if I do get the job promo, I'll be wearing ties, and lots of them,,,and most of mine are silk....actually I think they all are...

1:04 am

The silkworms are killed, and in a very inhuman manner, ruru - so as there's no earthly need to wear silk, I don't. Same reason I don't wear or use leather, etc.

1:04 am

That's too bad, Pav . . .

1:04 am

firewords

1:05 am

Inhumane, I meant to type there . . .

1:05 am

wow Dart, super

1:05 am

yay dart!

1:07 am

when I was hired some 6 1/2 years ago into my present position, ny boss told me I didn't have to wear ties because I wouldn't have much public contact...so I gave roughly 3 dozens ties to the local men's shelter,,, now I have to rebuild my collection...hopefully!

1:07 am

woohoo, dart!!!

1:07 am

JC just read your captions and my grammar granniness came to the fore -- Albie LYING on the grass, not laying. Hens lay...

1:08 am

50 to go

1:08 am

So what's that nice shiny blue suit made of if not silk?

1:09 am

go, anike, go!!

1:09 am

An acetate material I think, Jilli - but it's not silk.

1:09 am

looks good anyway

1:10 am

what about those poor acetates?

1:10 am

just hanging around in a beaker and presto.. on facebook.

1:10 am

ok well I really must rest up for my next big day tomorrow...

1:11 am

good luck pav... get thr promotion

1:11 am

best of luck to you, pav

1:11 am

Had hoped to finish before going shopping but time is flying so must go - will finish last 49 later - happy babbling

1:11 am

thanks guys!

1:12 am

bye anike -- have a good day

1:25 am

can't stop yawning

1:32 am

where did everyone go?

1:35 am

Good Morning Babblers - this will be my last stab at thing until Monday or maybe if its not too late Sunday evening as we are off to Mum in laws for a few days.

1:36 am

hello kazz

1:38 am

i love the clue jilli

1:38 am

30 to go, I'm off to bed, goodnight all, back in the morning

1:40 am

thanks, kazz -- don't think anyone else has noticed it, lol!

1:40 am

I did jilli

1:40 am

night flosey! (refresh to see my clue?)

1:40 am

oh good.

1:42 am

i hve updated my icon as well

1:42 am

it is also in the grid

1:43 am

kazz, I don't think that icon is your hausband...

Kazz - love the way you took a picture of your other half in the snow rather than help him up, lol

1:44 am

that was very deliberate - we spent loads of time jumping in the deep bits - its was a plouged field with ditches and it was great fun

young at heart!

1:45 am

you betcha

1:46 am

Kazz, I just refreshed and still see a very blue icon

1:47 am

Sorry, Jilli - had issues with my browser, and everything freezing. I had to 'end task' on it, then run a programme that finds and fixes Windows' errors. And yes, I've corrected the error you pointed out in my album, also. ;) Thank you . . .

1:47 am

click on it and it makes sense

1:48 am

no Kazz, still see the same black and blue icon

1:48 am

that s the clue

1:48 am

oh, thought someone said it was a picture of your hubby in the snow

1:49 am

kazz -- surely it's not your hubby! That's what your bio says

1:49 am

can you give us the first 2 letters?

that's a picture in flicker flosey

1:49 am

Erm, Jilli? :/ Did you see what I just typed to you?

1:50 am

yes, JC -- all's well (and I had seen the silliness on yahoo)

lol jilli

1:50 am

changed the bio as well - another clue - I am become de* - the destroyer of worlds

1:51 am

I think jilli and I are seeing the same icon

1:51 am

did you save it, kazz? I still see that it's your hubby

1:52 am

grrr didnt change it - it has now

1:53 am

Just refreshed and saw your icon clue, flosey -- lovely!

1:53 am

Oh, you saw that, Jilli? :P I have some very silly friends!

1:53 am

is the c a really strange word

1:53 am

I'm not silly though, no . . . not at all. :P

1:53 am

yes, kaz -- means comb-like

1:54 am

oh never, JC, just hairy

1:54 am

I think it must be, Kazzer - considering it would have to start with a 'cs' or 'ct' . . .

1:54 am

Erm, not usually Jilli - because it's shaven, more often than not! :P

1:54 am

or even cth?

1:54 am

it's ct7/36

1:55 am

you must have eaten a lot of carrots

1:55 am

thanks jilli - looked it up ugh

1:56 am

Who must've eatch a lot of carrots, Jilli?

1:56 am

got your icon clue, kazz, ty

1:56 am

Erm - 'eaten'?

1:57 am

you, JC -- they put hair on your chest, said my dad, so I didn't eat them, lol

1:57 am

Oh? I've never heard that about carrots - and yes, have always eaten a lot of them. :P

1:57 am

glad it all worked at last - my pc is feeling stange at the moment - hubby has been doing stuff on it for me and i cant quite find everything - but he did give me a new terabite hard drive

1:58 am

nice hubby, kazz

1:59 am

yeah - he does nice things like that every now and again - not that romantic but when it comes to computery things he gives me lovely surprizes

2:01 am

omg.* faints* i just looked up to check my list, have been babbling furiously and.....

2:02 am

and????

2:02 am

i have made the over 260 mark without a list. this has to bea really easy grid. i'm just not that smart

2:04 am

2:05 am

cute bug eyes Sprite...but hope that is not what you feel like

2:05 am

2:06 am

2:06 am

do I remember correctly and is Dr. Who's travel device in this grid?

2:06 am

Yes!

2:06 am

Well we know that's not true, Jilli! :P

2:06 am

no we don't, JC!

2:07 am

it is, a little, lyn, but I think things ain't bad as long as I can still joke and laugh about it ;) And thanks! Nice to know it is as I remembered.

2:07 am

rose, that is great. Good for you!

2:07 am

Well I do, Jilli, even if you don't! ;)

2:08 am

only 2 ,more weeks, i hope, in this wheelchair, depends on the x-rays

2:08 am

I have to go to bed -- not seeing anything...

2:09 am

That's quick Rose, fingers crossed

2:09 am

those weeks may seem like ages right now, rose, but it is worth taking the needed time if you will be much better later on.

2:09 am

2:09 am

2:20 am

I should change my icon, but I've gotten sort of fond of her, lol!

2:20 am

she rocks, rbud!

2:21 am

some of the others are pretty good, too, there are pics of two whole decks - but they don't all have "poetry".

2:21 am

hey, rbud,except for the hourglass figure, that could be me!!!!!

2:21 am

lol rose

2:22 am

who knew they had such ideas for decks of cards back in the day?

2:22 am

not me! But I love it.

2:23 am

* mourning my former hourglass figure, too * :(

2:23 am

am still an hourglass, only one that lets sand through a lot faster

2:23 am

at least I used to have a waist, if not an hourglass, lol!

2:24 am

I hear ya, sprite, lol!!!

2:24 am

:D

2:24 am

waist.... let me think, that's something you have at about size 10 or 12, right?

2:25 am

it's os long, it's hard to remember......

2:26 am

lol rose!

2:26 am

I think so...maybe even when I was a size 14...but now I shop in a whole different part of the garment section.

2:26 am

we have different sizes here Rosebud in case you were wondering

2:27 am

ah well, then i wouldn't have my beautiful sons.

2:27 am

here as well

2:27 am

if it ain't stretchy, I don't want it, lol!!

2:27 am

2:28 am

don't tell me rbud, camping gear, right. over here we have ray's tent city. marvellous for those after 5 nights.

2:28 am

Deacon is one good looking boy Rose

2:29 am

lol Rose

2:29 am

too true, lyn,

2:30 am

I guess I really should clean out the "nostalgic" part of my closet someday - keep vainly hoping to squeeze back into some of it. ;)

2:31 am

oh I recognise that!

2:35 am

Just vacuum pack it Rosebud and store away

2:35 am

* giggle* wish i could use the vacuum pack on me! * sigh *

2:36 am

for what it's worth, rose, I think you are beautiful the way you are

2:36 am

mmm, I think they have invented something like that. I wouldn't be game to have it though

2:37 am

sigh...I had my annual mammogram the other day...she had to get out a bigger plate... :P

2:37 am

tee hee!

2:37 am

awwww, thanx sprite. as my wonderful man says, built for comfort,not speed.

2:37 am

always a bit stressy, that mammobusiness

2:38 am

yay for that, g'rose, my old man says the same thing. isn't it sweet!

2:38 am

exactly, rose! Isn't it great to have a husband like that? Mine is the same.

2:38 am

mammograms.... the day a bloke puts his family jewels between those plates, is the day i will voluntarily have one!

2:38 am

me neither, lyn. Scary thought. I believe it is something like melting the fat and sucking it away?

2:39 am

LOL rose!

2:40 am

did you know? an ultrasound does a better job than a mammogram...why can't we have that instead?

2:40 am

no I didn't know that. Sounds a lot more comfortable!

2:40 am

My memory of my maternal grandmother (who died when I was about10) was having a great big cuddle from a wonderfully soft large lady. I have no memories of being cuddled by my skinny little paternal grandmother.

2:41 am

that is saying something, lyn

2:41 am

Good idea Rose - I wonder if it is cost?

2:41 am

ditto here, lyn. strange, isn't it? and yet i think my paternal grandma loved me just the same.

2:41 am

would take a lot longer, too, I'll bet

2:42 am

lol, rbud, i guess it would!

2:45 am

let's start an anti-mammogram movement, and demand an ultrasound the next time.

2:45 am

I'm all for that!

2:45 am

I am in

2:46 am

whoot! folks we have a revolution....

2:47 am

"Just listening, no touching!"

I have had a fairly horrid time with classes and bullying towards me and tonight I asked the b.f to go to the shop and buy me some coffee grinds. He returns with Lindt Chocolate Milk and Dark with Almonds and a bottle of vodka

4:55 am

that is sweet

4:55 am

sorry to hear you are having such a hard time lady, can you go to a student adviser about it?

Jaq they can't do anything about it

4:56 am

lol zooz

Um its Lindt choc what do you think the answer is

4:57 am

yer..alright.. you enjoy it..you deserve it :-)

4:57 am

zooz, she won't share, i wouldn't lol

4:58 am

to be honest..when it come to chocolate..i do NOT share.

4:58 am

very sad about the bullying though.

I am not letting them get to me too much as I want to do HDs

5:00 am

good for you lady!! you stick in there

5:00 am

it can be very hard to stand up for yourself when you stand aloine. nice to have such a luv to come home to after such a day. br would have wonderful words of wisdom for you surely

5:00 am

If you want a career in the legal profession, best get a thick skin and iron will ... you will be challenged and confronted daily

5:00 am

5:00 am

good for you Herin..ride above the *swear words*

Zoom what is sad is these are 19 to 29 year olds that are very upset that i took them off Facebook

5:02 am

i am not liking these o's

5:02 am

ty BR. care to weigh in?

Hi BR

5:03 am

if this is happening on facebook you can actually go directly to facebook and have it stopped there, tey will threaten to ban them

5:03 am

thanks for the stats BR

5:03 am

there is a big drive against cyber bullying

5:03 am

ty br

Well that was nice. I just went to FB and saw that I have been slagged off again

5:04 am

can you go outside the school for help? is it perhaps a matter of human right?

5:05 am

o + song lyrics: **** fence me in (hyphenated word) + back muscle: del****; pl

5:05 am

do not have facebook (don`t want it either) but surley you can block people.

5:05 am

lady emails the facebook people

5:05 am

ty BR, i was kinda there but not too sure of the ending

5:05 am

should be: o + song lyrics: **** fence me in (hyphenated word) + back muscle: delt***; pl

5:06 am

YAY, thanks again BR..got it :-) ( massive smile on my face)

5:06 am

ty BR

BR you are my saviour

5:15 am

i agree lady, and good luck to you

5:15 am

of what fern?

People bullying me and being two faced and I never had proof

5:16 am

ah. yes it is good to get proof of that.

Well apparently its all hearsay

5:17 am

pics and comments are hearsay?

5:18 am

hearsay is an out of court statement by one not present to testify concerning its veracity

5:19 am

you have first hand knowledge

5:19 am

well yes BR, but aren't pics and such used in trial? Direct pics and comments I should say

No. Everything I have said is hearsay. Yes Babble I know what hearsay is remember I am the mental bunny studying legal practice

5:20 am

sure ... but talking to facebook is not a court proceeding

5:20 am

oh - yes - I agree with you lady - what you are saying is hearsay

5:21 am

okay - I am not in disagreement with that BR - i don't know the full story so will look thru the chat

No but taking it to the dean as proof that I am not being nuts and saying everyone hates me they are picking on me etc

5:21 am

okay- obviously I have opened a can of worms here - sorry! back to grid. ;-)

Wolvie. People are picking on me outside of class using facebook as a tool.

5:23 am

I am going thru chat fern - I see it now. TY

5:52 am

Someone with more mathematical prowess than I will have to figure that out

5:52 am

That's both of us sitting back, Eva.

5:52 am

you have to google a picture. It's hard to believe that it's not a joke

5:52 am

8:18 am

Hiya, Scrabbs.

8:18 am

we were wondering where you scrabbled off to...

8:18 am

No more puking and I am now trying to keep a popsicle down. I feel weak & tired.

8:18 am

Hi FV

8:19 am

Hi varina

8:19 am

Poor Scrabbs. Not flu of the birdswine, I hope.

8:19 am

blasted repairmen...they think you have nothing better to do bthan wait for the?

8:20 am

I also have cold/cough but no fever or body aches, so I don't think this is H1N1 although I thought about that

8:20 am

repairman should have the courtesy to call if they are being late or not showing up at all

8:20 am

poor poopsie, are you going kayaking still?

8:20 am

96 left, going to forage for breakfast,bbs

8:20 am

Nope, new plan for the day = rest + stay hydrated.

8:20 am

good plan

8:21 am

sounds very sensible scrabs, we'll keep yoiu company

8:21 am

Sounds reasonable, Scrabbler. Lay low. Not like, Eva. Who has no excuse.

8:21 am

I agree, Eva--very autumn-like day here

8:21 am

moi?? no excuse??

sounds like a good idea to lay low today, scrabs. I wish I could do that too

8:23 am

ive always got a good excuse onhand. i keep several of them at the ready -- you never know when youll need a good excuse!

8:24 am

Hi Annie and Scrab and Eva

8:25 am

Hi Boo

8:25 am

Hi Boo

8:26 am

Hi Boobear

8:26 am

Hey, Boo!

8:27 am

I am also watching first of 2 funerals for fallen Buffalo firefighters. Check out wgrz.com. Our city is in mourning.

8:29 am

It is estimated that over 10,000 firefighters from around the US and Canada are here to honor their brothers.

8:29 am

How sad, Scrabbler.

8:30 am

I remember the processions after 9-11. Just heart-wrenching to see - but very noble and moving ceremonies.

8:31 am

The 34 yr old FF is to have a son born in 3 wks, making this all the more sadder.

8:35 am

bbs

8:35 am

golly gee. i could about throttle my dad right now. i do love him, but he was sure being difficult when i was just on the phone with him!

8:36 am

What's his malfunction, Eva?

8:38 am

chris + i are hosting a picnic/cookout tomorrow. we have rented a pavilion in our local park that can hold up to 150. (we are expecting 50-60 people)

8:38 am

along with the pavilion, we get a liquor license, grills, games, playground, etc

8:39 am

but he just asked me if there were toilets nearby. i said i wasnt sure, but there is definitely a restroom station in the park somewhere.

8:39 am

you would have thought i had just said "nope. go F yourself" from his reaction!

8:40 am

Hmm. Maybe you can get a porta-potty placed nearby.

8:40 am

My mother obsesses about the availability of a toilet--bladder issues

8:40 am

we have already booked the whole thing months ago. the party is tomorrow + we have too much to do to even think about that now. sorry pops, too little, too late.

8:42 am

i understand people need to use a restroom, but there is one in the park somewhere. it may or may not be nearby, im not sure. we had several factors to consider when selecting which pavilion we wanted, and that wasnt the highest on our list.

8:43 am

Maybe dad has a problem with sudden urges. Talk to the park people and see if they have a porta-pot they can re-locate for you.

8:43 am

i am looking at a map now. there are 2 "comfort stations" nearby. i am going to assume those are restrooms.

8:45 am

I just saw that C word--is it a ct?

8:45 am

scrab -- yes, CT7/36

8:45 am

good morning everyone;)

8:46 am

9:00 am

clue for di 4/6

9:03 am

Boobear: if it had an "L", it would be a sex toy.

9:03 am

here you go ladies,treeat hubby to bacaroni and cheese.....

9:03 am

* Mke a white sauce of butter, flour, and milk. I use about 1/3 cup each of butter and flour and 2 1/2 cups of milk. * Add seasoning (black pepper, cayenne pepper, minced onion, and a dash of worcestererestershire). Microwave for 3 minutes, stir, repeat until thick. * Meanwhile boil a bunch of elbow macaroni (or rotini, but elbows are more traditional). * Chop up a block of Velveeta, and when the sauce is thick, dump it in and heat again to melt cheese. Stir until smooth. * Chop up some bacon (I use the ready-cooked kind). Add the bacon to the sauce and dump it all over the macaroni. Bake for about 45 minutes at 350. * Optional: saute a block of butter and add a mess of breadcrumbs. Sprinkle butter-ensoaked breadcrumbs over the top. * Serve with a green vegetable and gastric bypass kit.

9:04 am

Good God, Crossy. I think my HDL went up 200 points just reading that!

9:04 am

hence the bypass kit

9:04 am

switch that velveeta to extra sharp vermont cheddar and now you're talking

9:05 am

any cheese is good

9:05 am

velveeta is a bit oily

9:05 am

Yes. Velveeta should be banned as a food product. Nasty gluey glop.

9:06 am

velveeta isn't even cheese. it's "cheese food"

9:06 am

Hi Doren

9:06 am

i actually stooped eating velveeta about age 10,right around the same time you stop eating that sliced meat with the mac and cheese in it;)

9:07 am

"Processed cheese product".

9:07 am

ugh

9:07 am

wife only eats 7 year old aged white cheddar now..spoiled brat she is..:/

9:07 am

hi scrabs - we're going to tanglewood today. were supposed to leave this morning, but have to go to a wake at 2. which allows me time to tackle this big grid

9:08 am

i'm with her, crossy... very spoiled indeed

9:08 am

Anyone have a clue for the od8 & 9?

9:08 am

Go for it, Doren. You are speedy.

9:08 am

but the stuff does go a long way and takes forever to spoil,stuff is indestructable

9:09 am

ive got a year now to lose like 50 pounds. no more cheese for me!

9:09 am

!! no cheese??? may as well toos me in a hole and shovel dirt over me!

9:09 am

i can't forego cheese, no matter what!

9:10 am

My favorite = provolone!

9:10 am

i know! its my FAVORITE food!

9:10 am

Small amounts of cheese are a good source of protein. Goat cheese has half the fat of other cheeses.

9:10 am

ahh yes! the itallian fav

9:10 am

feta is nice as well

9:10 am

has anyone ever heard of LaTur? i just tried some and it is heaven

9:10 am

LaTurd?

9:11 am

but alas, between the kidney stone (most likely attributed to too much calcium) and the nuptuals i must start planning, i need to lose me some weight + cutting out cheese seems like a good start...

9:11 am

Haha, Judi

9:11 am

oh no, judi, if you ever tried it you wouldn't say that!

9:11 am

Just kidding. I think I've seen it. What kind of cheese is it?

9:11 am

im off today to the specialty shop to try some smoked 4 year old cheddar from quebec made from 100% single source dairy products:)

9:11 am

from the Piedmont region of italy, can't describe it. a bit of a stinky cheese but sooooo good

9:12 am

eva,ive peed out 3 stones now..just drink more water

9:12 am

Is it made from cow, goat or sheep milk?

9:13 am

cow

9:13 am

I don't think TK ever sleeps, she is always here. Never seen such an addiction ;)

11:13 am

babble is a black hole...nothing can escape it's gravity

11:14 am

Me neither Haz, but I'm sure we will catch up with her before too long - but we must don sunglasses as the brilliance of the ring will blind us.

11:14 am

I've had a look on her flickr page, it's lovely.

11:14 am

fo7?

11:15 am

(pre) (accomplished) fo7

11:15 am

11:16 am

Yes, the one he foolishly allowed me to choose.

11:16 am

11:16 am

11:17 am

sorry, those clues have left me bewildered and befuddled

11:17 am

Frustrated because of showery weather, some day soon the sun will stay out for longer than 10 minutes

11:17 am

fo7 - four letters that sound like four, accomplished an act,

11:18 am

(golfers cry of warning) + ( do - past tense)

1:40 pm

1:40 pm

It's about how to live on almost nothing. Written from experience :). There are so many who are facing making do with less for the first time in this economy. The book has practical, no-cost and low-cost ideas to save on everything in your budget.

1:41 pm

Yes, afflamed, I love it too. Will try to get some pictures.

1:41 pm

Thanks, WordsRock

1:41 pm

1:41 pm

Where did she live?

1:42 pm

1:42 pm

Sounds interesting, ch1212!

1:42 pm

I want to say Milford but Im not sure about that

1:42 pm

ch1212 - oo i mite do that

1:42 pm

Yes, WordsRock, the clue was great. Thanks

1:42 pm

Exactly. I also worked professionally helping low-income families to access jobs, education, etc. to achieve financial independence from public assistance.

1:42 pm

she had relocated to los angeles when i knew her

1:43 pm

but when her sisters would com visit they wud all revert to that georgia style of saying something snide with a smile lol it was funny

1:44 pm

example: why, thats a lovely style of dress ....for that SIZE...

1:44 pm

I'm from Kentucky and Georgia....so you can imagine how people pick up on it here in CT.

1:45 pm

they were all beauty queens in their youth so were funny to listen to when they got catty with each other

1:45 pm

LOL! My brother has lived in Tennessee for 25 years, and I can barely understand him!

1:45 pm

I LOVE LOVE a southern accent, especially georgian, its unique unto itself

1:45 pm

I do love the south.

1:46 pm

I love to watch Steel Magnolias over and over --- the ladies' humor is so wonderful!

1:46 pm

I love southern food!

1:46 pm

I still have some great friends there.

1:46 pm

I M MOVING TO MARYLAND SOON AND SURPRISINGLY its southern mentality

1:47 pm

Oh, WordsRock, I had never eaten grits before moving to GA...I promptly gained 30 pounds.

1:47 pm

One of the best holidays we took as Canadians was The Low Country - oh th fish...oh the houses!

1:47 pm

Maybe there are many transplants there, aff

1:47 pm

to me its NORTH on teh map, but everyone there has a southern accent and live that lifestyle

1:47 pm

They are gooooooood eats!

1:47 pm

and west Va is rite next to it

1:48 pm

grits is amazing with fresh butter ahhhhh

1:48 pm

Maryland, em, surprising.....didn't know that about them. Have an exfiance from College Park, MD.

1:48 pm

they are very southern. my BF says south of the mason/dixon? or something like that

1:49 pm

lots of confederate flags, etc etc '

1:49 pm

i was surprised too, I expected wash dc. new york, etc etc - i dont think Baltimore is like that though

1:50 pm

where i went was more the west side and many small towns - rural

1:50 pm

fits me to a T I cant wait to move

1:51 pm

Well, I don't agree with some things about the South that is still going on....most of my friends are transplants, however, I still have a couple of 'homegrown' friends.

1:51 pm

Mus find food, back in a bit.

1:51 pm

(quietly waving goodbye as I head out, not wanting to disturb chat ... bbl)

1:51 pm

Must. Sorry.

ct plus **joy?

1:54 pm

c+ Bo Derek movie + robot ending

DOH!!!!!! ogt it

1:55 pm

just popped in + saw the MD convo. welcome to our fine state, afflamed!

ty tor! good to see your brain had not fried in that heat :P

evaN i am in annapolis - there are definitely TWO marylands

1:56 pm

most definitely, TO. im in bethesda -- very different from southern or western MD!

heck in annapolis TWO different MDs!

1:57 pm

heh, yeah.

i went slumming the other day to find mickey d's

there is definitely a wrong side of the tracks...hmmm maybe i was in parole no annapolic

1:58 pm

MD can be a tough state to figure out, depending where you are. we are technically south of the mason-dixon, so there are definitely areas with that southern charm. but we have a lot of transplants that live near DC and nap-town, so those areas get more urban. and well, bmore is....bmore.

just seeing the signs for parole cracks me up :D

1:59 pm

heh, and parole isnt a terrible area!

but they have all the fast food places ligned up in a row like the slums LOL

2:01 pm

well, parole is a huge shopping center + right near the mall. you get that near any shopping area...

i just wanted a side salad and a parfait.. seems like the only big town i know with only one mcd's

hey guys

2:04 pm

definitely not only one. but the town really isnt all that big! heh

can you help me with the grid rules?

as in... how many points i get for 5 letter words...

2:05 pm

smellycat -- refer to the "Help" link above. "AngelSong's Babble Page" linked below is also a good help.

well if you ask anyone in my group they just look at you and gasp

thanks guys

2:05 pm

theres so much good food in nap-town. seems a sin to settle for mcdonalds. ;)

evaN: i don't eat a large lunch. can't see the sense in g oign to a restaurant paying twice as much for a salad twice as big as i want

then leaving half of it

2:08 pm

true, true. but still...mcdonalds... (just giving you a hard time) ;)

:P

can i pls have 0d,9,66??

i save my $ for those crabcake dinners

went to doctor and i have gained 2 lbs in three weeks!

2:09 pm

well, theres a little bit of sense, at least! where are you going for dinner?

so far i have been to yellowfin and to a little place on mayo like a house - the bgest so far

2:10 pm

Mike's?

can't remember the name. no group went to mikes wednesday but i did not. i went to adam's ribs instead, woman cannot live by crab alone

the crabcake was across the st from adam's

2:12 pm

may have been the Old Stein Inn *thinking*

2:14 pm

thank you BR

3:35 pm

3:46 pm

hello all. is is worth starting this one? I am officially both unemployed AND on vacation from school now!

3:47 pm

I'm nearly finished it so it wasn't too hard.

3:49 pm

thanks Fitz. Or do you go by Shivs?

3:49 pm

Hi Stid and Shivs. Stid, it's a nice grid.

3:50 pm

thanks Jac. (((hugs))) how did school uniform shopping go the other day?

3:50 pm

Hiya, I go by Shivs, it's the short nickname for my first name, Siobhán.

3:50 pm

(Pronounced Shiv-ahn).

3:51 pm

We went today in the end, stid. Couldn't get everything - the official outfitters haven't got a lot. *sighs*

3:51 pm

thanks Shivs. nice to meet you. *shakes hand and offers choclits*

3:51 pm

brb phone

3:51 pm

good afternoon, babblers - hi stid - haven't seen you for a while - we are are opposite ends - I am officially back to school - no vacation days left and the stress is on!

3:51 pm

FIREWORKS!:-)

3:52 pm

Same to you, stidmama and thanks for the chocolate!

3:52 pm

congrats, Jacula!

3:53 pm

Fireworks here too!

3:53 pm

My second puzzle completed!

3:55 pm

congrats, Shivs!

3:56 pm

Thanks, JBV.

4:01 pm

YAY Shivs!

4:01 pm

YAY Jacula!

4:01 pm

hey JBV! (((lots of hugs))) my kids are back in school in a week and a half.

4:01 pm

Our schools start late on the West coast.

4:03 pm

kids start here on Sept. 8, but teachers come back on Tuesday. Monday I'm in an all day meeting so I had to get everything totally ready before leaving the office today. - so now I am here to relax and babble

4:04 pm

oh -- of course, the "week before" -- in another two years, I hope to have that week or two before, setting up the classroom, making a month's worth of worksheets, putting names on desks... *slips into reverie*

4:05 pm

Thanks, stidmama.

4:05 pm

soon enough, stid, it will happen...

4:06 pm

You're going to be a teacher, stidmama?

4:06 pm

by the way, everything does not have to be 100% ready on the first day, depending on the grade, the students also can have a role in deciding how to organize and set up the room

4:06 pm

yep. and then I will be dreaming of those glorious, carefree, grad-school days! LOL

4:06 pm

eventually, Shivs. I took time out to rear kids and now back to school.

4:07 pm

here in VA, by law, schools start the tuesday after the 1st monday in September. Hi and bye, folks {poof}

4:07 pm

Hiya and bye Seain.

4:07 pm

((((SEAIN)))) *waves bye bye*

4:07 pm

who was that masked man? a cloud of dust, and a hearty poof!

4:08 pm

LOL that seain... he's here, he's there, that DC seain is everywhere!

4:08 pm

I see, stid...wish I had been able to do that. We divorced so I have still had to keep working. Expensive living here.

4:10 pm

sorry to hear that, Shivs. I know that I wouldn't be able to go back to school to get certification without a lot of help (from my now-retired mother, my spouse, our friends).

4:10 pm

it is a great privilege to study and not work at the same time - I thank my husband all the time for the 4 years (!) he mostly supported me in grad school - of course I had a baby in the middle of that time

4:12 pm

I tried taking just one (1) class between my two babies (they were 26 months apart) and the mama hormones turned my brain to mush so I had to wait until they had grown a bit more. *grin* and now they tower over me!

4:12 pm

Yes I have help from my mum while I'm working, stid. I've moved with the kids back into our family home and she minds them when they're here and I'm at work...which she doesn't mind at all.

4:13 pm

that is good, Shivs. We live fairly close to my mother, and it has been wonderful to have the kids grow up knowing their grandparents. I never had the chance, myself.

4:13 pm

[hugs to families who help and support each other]

4:13 pm

Mine are too young to tower over me yet a while! They will though because I'm not very tall, LOL.

4:14 pm

*mushy hugs for everyone!*

4:14 pm

well, don

4:15 pm

argh. figner glitch. don't be too worried about going back to school someday Shivs... going back at mid-life and being an older student has been a wonderful experience for me.

4:15 pm

I didn't have the chance to know my grandparents as I would have liked, with them all being in Ireland. My parents each moved here to London from Dublin and Thurles before they met.

4:15 pm

yes, school is wasted on the young, right stid? the older we get the more we appreciate it

4:16 pm

So true, JBV...so true.

4:17 pm

I don't see myself going back to school stid, as I finished all that years ago. I think about taking a course or two at some point though.

4:18 pm

Heyas ladies ..

4:18 pm

that's what I thought, too, Shivs! LOL

4:18 pm

TOR!!! yer in the grid, ye OLD pirate!~ ARRRRR

4:18 pm

And you ended up full time?

4:18 pm

so, I need the C and the O in the upper right corner to have NBT... any help out there?

4:18 pm

Hiya torgone.

4:19 pm

Arrr

4:19 pm

c + add number after 9 + the standard robot ending

4:19 pm

The c is a strange word. Has a robotic ending.

4:19 pm

od8/50 & 9/66

4:19 pm

yes, decided that a master's in teaching paid better than simple certification, so spent the last year getting prereqs (my bachelor's didn't cover all the bases), and the Master's program starts in one month from tomorrow.

4:20 pm

Thinking of Data.

4:20 pm

eeek! really TOR???? *faints*

4:20 pm

thanks for the C!

4:20 pm

Yes stid, but those aren't too bad (the o words).

4:20 pm

Think of teeth straightening and the robot ending ..

4:21 pm

They have the same ending as the c word.

4:21 pm

LOL got the Os -- like robot dinosaurs!

4:21 pm

fireworks!

4:21 pm

WTG, JBV!

4:22 pm

YAY JBV!!!!

4:22 pm

Yay JBV!

4:23 pm

You have been busy, stid. That's a lot of work on top of keeping a household going.

4:23 pm

thanks, everyone - picked up a bunch of clues in the chat today

4:24 pm

was just talking with my great-aunt today about that Shivs -- of course the kids do their own laundry and breakfasts now, and my darling Tom does most of the shopping and cooking.

Good afternoon/evening/night everyone/morning also!!!

4:28 pm

Heya red

Whats Up?

4:28 pm

hey red! how's you?

I'm alright, and you?

4:29 pm

I am about to take a break... would like to empty two more boxes this afternoon. And make one more trip to the storage locker, and... *considers options* maybe make a real spaghetti sauce for supper.

Yuuum, I just had chicken stir fry. very good.

4:30 pm

LOL - sounds like me, stid! Emptying boxes, and prepping to go to our storage unit to get the rest out... and thinking of spaghetti for supper!

4:30 pm

hi all, stuck again, clue for last se5/10 pls?

4:30 pm

mmm. stir fry sounds good too. and I have a fresh bloick of tofu in the fridge

4:30 pm

hey Mary! hi CH!!!

4:31 pm

You know Stid, tofu would have been a better choice. I forgot!

4:31 pm

is it cloudy up where you are now? I seem to have slept through the sunny part of the day.

4:31 pm

oh, I am so dumb ty

4:31 pm

Not dumb, mary -- I did the same thing! :)

4:33 pm

maybe stir fry tonight and spaghetti tomorrow. I can stop by my friends' veggie stand on the way home from the storage locker.

4:33 pm

tried every combo from the bottom s, never even saw the top one ty ch

Me cloudy? Nah, we even missed the rain today... but its coming again. and if the space shuttle would ever take off I shall go to the beach.

4:34 pm

And now off to start the sauce simmering. {{{ hugs to all }}}

4:34 pm

later ch! see you again soon!

4:36 pm

that's nice, red. I have been watching the whole shuttle non-odyssey this week.

I need to be less annoyed, but they do close down the best beach....

4:36 pm

I would like to have a sunny day, but looks like our weekend will be cloudy at best.

4:38 pm

so, this is me, running off to do chores. back later. ((hugs everyone)) have a lovely afternoon/evening! *poof*

I really like it too...

I like the worst one for you... ben and Jerry's chunky monkey

5:06 pm

I rarely crave ice cream, but it looked good today so i bought a pint of ben and jerry everything and the kitchen sink - nevere had it before

That's a quote from Doroth Parker-she was asked to use the word horticulture in a sentence-she said, "You can lead a horticulture but you can't make HER think".

6:18 pm

Did BR leave us?

6:18 pm

no, thank you inge

6:19 pm

Well, that joke came to me via Las Vegas daughter without a footnote to Dorothy Parker

6:19 pm

at a punster's anonymous meeting perhaps?

6:19 pm

who said bacon?

6:20 pm

no one said bacon crossy, yuo're hearing voices

6:20 pm

His first name was Francis, wasnt it?

6:20 pm

lol

6:21 pm

I've admired DP since I was about 10 (47yrs ago) & she said many clever things-she's the one who first said, "Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses".

6:21 pm

quite right inge...took a minute for the penny to drop...

6:21 pm

Later, Ogden nash added, "But it all depends on her frame".

6:22 pm

LOL

6:22 pm

a little yongue in "cheeky"

6:23 pm

tongue

6:23 pm

under the flush of alcohol, men will make a pass at Kawliga

6:23 pm

Does Narnia queen want any clues?

6:24 pm

today's puzzle was very friendly

6:25 pm

I agree.

6:27 pm

kawliga - wooden indian that stands by the door...thought you were makkinng things up BR

6:27 pm

i hope today's is as warm and fuzzy...last few really made my brain hurt

6:28 pm

thanks TK, I was too lazy to look it lup

6:28 pm

s,t,

6:29 pm

s, t, r, d are my new best friends....still don't like vowels much

6:29 pm

me too inge, but curiosity got the better of me...good thing i'm not a cat

6:30 pm

certain vowel words are so common I guess them right away

6:30 pm

they give me grief

6:31 pm

I have good and and bad days. Some days any letter will make it hard for me

6:33 pm

some days, I can't find a tree in a forest

6:33 pm

a few days back - when we had all those vowels in grid - went to see what lexulous was all about....played a few games by myself. then got a rack containing all vowels. 4xi, 2xu, and 1xa....at that point i just threw up my hands in disgust...will never go there again....wicked little game!

6:34 pm

was up far too late trying to finish last night - was babble-blind by the time i finally threw in the towel

6:35 pm

I do babble and sudoku straight out of bed and breakfast.

6:35 pm

there is no tree in "forest" BR

6:36 pm

makes finding one even more difficult

6:37 pm

have seen you signed in at sudoku, i usually go after 3rd circle of babble-hell completed

6:38 pm

I caught up on sudoku about 15 months ago, Now I am an elite, I better stay there

6:40 pm

forest contains: a shop, a golfer's cry, a craggy hill-top, learning by repetition(s), a break, a stronghold, good grief there's lots in there...

6:40 pm

In Sudoku, when you pay your dues, you can access the archives and finsih previsou puzzles at leisure

6:40 pm

do you find it difficult doing on computer, rather than paper? am finding it more difficult...

6:42 pm

am watching all my pennies right now...and have no honour of title to defend...besides am wasting too much time on-line as is...sigh

6:42 pm

I never got used to the paper solving. When you calll up the green numbers, they are relatiely easy

6:44 pm

perhaps if lines between 9-squares were bolder i would find it easier...this is where i often have to look twice before entering a number

6:46 pm

the greens do make it simpler, but you can do it on paper too

6:47 pm

do you play krkuro or ken ken?

6:47 pm

kakuro

6:48 pm

No, no other games currently. Actually sudoku numbers and lines are the last thing I can see well.

6:49 pm

I have macular degeneration

6:49 pm

hi all

6:50 pm

sorry to hear that inge,we have been dealing with my wifes eye degenerationfor over ten years now(it has settled at 20/200 on a good day and 20/400 on a bad

6:50 pm

PB must be getting crowded with everyone talking about fo6

6:50 pm

makes it tough, do you adjust settings on computer to make it easier?

6:50 pm

could someone help me with the top right O? I can't see a thing there

6:51 pm

hi nrkii...

6:51 pm

od 8, 9

6:51 pm

o + **** walk on the grass + robot ending

6:51 pm

and plural

6:51 pm

thanks TK and Une

6:51 pm

good grief, I never even realized that is a grid word. Well I did not say it. BR and Kate need to go to PB

6:52 pm

yw :-)

6:53 pm

good gravy!!! and i was parsing it to boot!!!!...i'll be in there all night <dejected look on face>

6:53 pm

I need a abreak. My legs are numb

6:53 pm

LOL, TK... that's why I made that comment :)

6:54 pm

too many words...are there letters in a rubber room?

6:54 pm

ty une

6:54 pm

indeed there are kate...all vowels

6:54 pm

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakkk!

6:55 pm

okay, it's friday night and my day has been all upside down, so I better buckle down and finish

6:55 pm

having paranoid delusiona that vowels are out to kill me

6:55 pm

if you behave Kate, we'll make sure at least one of them is a Y

6:55 pm

ty nrk

6:56 pm

day went badly?

6:56 pm

resistential vowels

6:56 pm

not bad, just didn't really ever get started

6:57 pm

tee hee, BR

6:58 pm

ah, nrk, everyone needs a lazy day once in a while

6:58 pm

do you need many?

6:59 pm

15 more now

6:59 pm

just got the list and it's going much faster

grrr, I have 87 left, should go for list shortly If I want to finish....

7:00 pm

it's really quite quick, all those lovely s,t,r,d's....

7:01 pm

red, the list is helping me a lot... most of the words I missed aren't tough, I just missed them

7:01 pm

don't be a hero red, go for it...

I dont like going between the two screens, I'm never a hero, I mean, i go to bed at 9 pm!!!

7:01 pm

is it a point of honour not to list until absolutely necessary

some people work the grid from the start with the list, I think. I just get frustrated with multiple screens

7:02 pm

do you keep them open side by side red?

7:02 pm

i don't like the toing and froeing either...guess you don't have expert either?

Sort of nrkii, but they dont wrok that way.

kate I had expert but didnt want to put more stuff on the computer.

7:03 pm

once I open the list, I keep the list on the left, an very narrow, and the grid on the right, just next to the list

7:04 pm

babble expert supposed to enter in both lists at once, no?

yes expert is great

7:04 pm

does it use a lot of memoryspace red?

I doubt it, but I have a lot of photo stuff on the hard drive, so I try to keep it relatively empty.

7:05 pm

but I try not to open the list till I get down to no more than 2 missing per tile, or 90% done, if possible

7:05 pm

because otherwise the list does confuse me

7:05 pm

have requested it but no response so far...

7:06 pm

you are a glutton for punishment nrk!

7:06 pm

and I go through each tile one by one till I'm only missing max 2 in each... if I work across the whole board at once, I end up typing in the same words over and over and over and over

nrkii, its much better that way then the list is very helpful, with 81 left now I am with you the list conduses me.

7:07 pm

so methodical. someone earlier said they work the columns one by one until obliterated

I am not obsessive, as was established earlier, so I just enter them as I sees them.

7:08 pm

like to trawl for the easy fish that jump right out at me. then worry about elusive prey

7:09 pm

I'm OCD enough that I really feel compelled to start at the top left and move methodically down, then across...

7:09 pm

fireworks!

7:09 pm

trader...the 1st tiem i asked for it my email ended up in licketys spam amil..it took him some time to flook in there and see it...give him some time he'll get it to you!

7:09 pm

oh my....do they have meds for that?

good job nrkii!

7:10 pm

I try to enter only the words that I find

7:10 pm

TK - :)

7:10 pm

now you all know why i'm not chatting... i can't type!

7:10 pm

way to go NRK the CONQUEROR!

7:10 pm

BR, very sensible, but you might consider entering an imaginary word every once in a while

7:11 pm

my phantoms hardly ever work

7:11 pm

ty, littlebit, it's been more than a week i think. someone else that brequested same day as me got theirs days ago...

7:12 pm

okay, time to see what happened to my day

7:12 pm

it took a couple of weeks for me to get mine

7:12 pm

have fun babbling everyone

7:12 pm

night!

7:13 pm

don't i lose the tile stats and word stats aqfter 2 week trial period?

7:13 pm

gn nrkii

7:13 pm

be well, nrkii

you do kate.

7:13 pm

ty, you too br!

7:13 pm

(poof)

7:14 pm

oh well, it's been fun...

7:15 pm

pbs running six degrees of separation now!

7:19 pm

TraderKate, I just had a flash of enlightenment! Did you put Babble in the box so his spam filter knows it is real? Perhaps you should try again making sure Babble is the subject.

7:21 pm

just checked put "babble expert request" as subject

7:21 pm

Hmm, Then just try again so he knows you are serioius. I would

7:22 pm

understand whoever does this has been busy visiting (sick?) father a lot.

7:22 pm

still think you should ask someone with babble expert to send it to you

7:22 pm

will re-send now.

that would work....i dont have it though.

7:23 pm

this is a very secretive bunch BR. no one has offered to share so much as an e-mail address with me

7:24 pm

well, the only secrets I have are those I refuse to disclose

lol br.

7:26 pm

Not so much secretive as concerned with privacy and safety ..

7:38 pm

114 days until the start of winter in the Northern Hemisphere

7:38 pm

you just want him (her?) to rub your tummy

7:39 pm

ya, this is about the time of year we get our school trollers in. they get home from school and are bored, so come in here to be "cute"

7:39 pm

BR are you trying to make be dance for joy?

7:39 pm

Dr. G is a guy.

7:39 pm

BR that was uncalled for...can feel light deprivation already....

7:40 pm

think it was around 1 p.m.

7:40 pm

do you dance nekkid in the snow dawg?

7:40 pm

1 pm babble time?

7:41 pm

no, est

7:41 pm

oh heavens no, nobody should be tortured by seeing this body nekkid.

7:41 pm

guess noon babble time

7:42 pm

seems a bit early in the day for school trollers. but who knows, maybe it was at lunch or study hall.

7:42 pm

thought you sounded so filled with joy you may not be able to contain yourself

7:42 pm

school's not in in most of country is it?

7:42 pm

unlike other babblers, i'm rather boring in the "excitement" category.

7:42 pm

or rainy...

7:43 pm

most of the public schools are going now. colleges are either starting or will be starting next week or so.

7:43 pm

7:46 pm

Thank you, lbdawger and TraderKate - my, that was enthusiastic!!! ;)

7:47 pm

like your oxi's dawg, wonder why babble hasn't weighed in

7:47 pm

it was a fun grid today. only needed help with about 5 of the big words.

7:47 pm

easier to muster enthusiasm when chat is not going at light speed

7:48 pm

Yes, lbdawger - it was better than a lot of them. :)

7:48 pm

there are nights like last night that just get wild

7:48 pm

Well done J.C

7:48 pm

hi zooz

7:48 pm

Thank you, zoozzoom! :)

7:48 pm

really enjoyed this one as well

7:48 pm

hi zooz

7:49 pm

Hello Dawg & TK :-)

7:49 pm

Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?

7:49 pm

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

7:49 pm

don't need to ask if you're done zoom

7:49 pm

Good very early morning, Minveryork - and why so blue? :/

7:49 pm

Hello Min! welcome to the grid, how are you this evening?

7:49 pm

hi min!

7:49 pm

Hello Minveryork, hope you are well.

7:50 pm

doing well, Min. a bit on the warm side, but it's a lovely day here.

7:50 pm

cute icon clue, Min

7:51 pm

i'm living on the wrong coast this summer. no warmth here

7:51 pm

It is, lbdawger? Hmmm . . . what am I missing?

7:51 pm

I am not blue J.C.That is just my icon clue & I picked blue because that is my favorite color. Read profile.

7:51 pm

thought it meant navy...then realized that was yesterday

7:51 pm

Oh yes, I see now . . . ;)

7:52 pm

you're all very BLUE

7:52 pm

It isn't navy blue though, Kate . . .

7:52 pm

Who is very blue, Kate?

7:52 pm

true, but couldn't see the meaning

7:53 pm

argh, neighborhood is mowing their lawns...aaachhoooo

7:53 pm

TraderKate, is your husband TraderJoe like the store

7:53 pm

you all are...are you familliar with TRUE COLORS? (PERSONALITY DIMENSIONS in canada)

7:54 pm

Erm, no . . . can't say I am.

7:54 pm

is that like colour me beautiful?

7:54 pm

been asked that before, am not aware of any hiusband. joe or otherwise

7:54 pm

And how would you know what colour any of us are, in relation to whatever that is - without knowing us?

7:55 pm

sort of meyers-briggs thing but much easier to remember and apply. quite illuminating

7:55 pm

back in an hour. Eureka is on soon

7:55 pm

by the way you all talk

7:55 pm

Oh, so all of us who Babble here, all talk the same way?

7:56 pm

Which you can't hear . . . ;)

7:56 pm

by looking at your icon or picture

7:56 pm

I hope for their sake, the others here don't talk like me! :P

7:56 pm

at least the ones that chat are very blue...lurkerz are more likely green or gold. some chatters are orange

7:56 pm

Or sakes, rather . . .

7:56 pm

Hmmm . . . don't know anything about it?

7:56 pm

Haz told me the photographer shot me from a bad angle

7:57 pm

I'm hiding behind my puppy in mine though, BR . . .

7:57 pm

So perhaps I am more green, than blue? :P

7:58 pm

no blue is very social, conventional: family, friends very important. very caring concerned and co-operative. like groups, social situayions. supportive

7:58 pm

I guess I would be blue, then . . .

7:58 pm

do not know if you are green or not...i am very green

7:59 pm

Although I wouldn't say I'm 'conventional' by any means.

8:00 pm

not all apply to each...it's majority of characteristis

8:00 pm

Yes, I see . . .

8:00 pm

dawg...you get eureka tonight? we don't (sad face)

8:01 pm

never tried to google, but you may want to try. i foound it very helpful for understanding my motivatiuons and especially hoe to deal with those that don't "think the same way as me"

8:02 pm

Hello again everyone.

8:02 pm

JAC!

8:02 pm

BR - I saw Haz say that. I think maybe you should have gone left side sacing for the shot. ;-)

8:03 pm

Kate - just read what you said about colours (and probably auras). I know what you meant.

8:03 pm

I think a bag would be a definite improvement

8:03 pm

You mean you want me to join you for the next photoshoot, BR?

8:04 pm

perhaps, perhaps

8:04 pm

glad i'm not speaking gibberish, jac. how's your day been?

8:04 pm

(Well my 15-yr-old stepdaughter thinks I'm an old bag, a cool old bag, though. LOL)

hi all

8:05 pm

*< chortle >* jac

8:05 pm

TO, hi!

8:06 pm

Hi 72 Temple Owl! How are you? Welcome to the grid!

8:07 pm

My day, Kate, has not been as productive as I'd hoped. Took 'Step' to the official outfitter for her school, found 9 people in front of us in a queue in a shop the size of a broom cupboard and also found that they've hardly got anything in. GRR. Also, the hourly bus was late arriving and it took us an hour to get into our nearest market town rather than (10 mins by car) or (20 mins by bus).

i am not gridding. i finished a while back.

8:07 pm

I've finished the grid also. Can clue if needed.

i am actually looking at match mail from match.com

8:08 pm

Congratulations 72 Temple Owl on finishing early!YAY

8:08 pm

how is it out there temple?

8:08 pm

BR - So, we might be a twosome for your next icon shot? I shall look forward to seeing that.

8:08 pm

Congratulations Jacula on early fireworks! Way to go

i find it overwhelming.

8:08 pm

so much agro: so little time jac. we can't be whirlwinds every day. somrtimes we have to let the wind blow us around a bit to remind us we don't controll everything

8:08 pm

Hello Shirlockc! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle!

8:09 pm

overwhelming as in a deluge of mail?

8:09 pm

that's a good thing!

8:09 pm

Kate - did I see a chortle from you over the old bag thing> *Gives Kate a quick slap.*

8:09 pm

Trader Kate, I have to say this: You have become a dear part of Babble. It feels like you have been here from the start! LOLove, Jai

but i do not want to intrude. happy babbling to all.

8:11 pm

Hi jai. Don't be nice to her when I'm slapping her. LOL

8:11 pm

Well, she just...fits in! LOL!

8:12 pm

TO - what's overwhelming and why would you be intruding?

8:12 pm

J.C. Are you immersed in the grid or have you taken thee dogs out into the garden? You're very quiet.

8:13 pm

never, jac...methinks u r cool

the number of emails. the thought of going thorugh them. the whole thought of dating actually.

8:13 pm

'thee dogs'? Sounds Shaespearian or Holy. LOL

8:14 pm

TO - Ah! I've obviously missed a bit here. Have you launched yourself on an internet dating site?

8:14 pm

Where did my 'k' go in the post before last?

sort of. i met a success sotry from match a few weeks ago. the couple got married.

8:14 pm

Say it isn't true!

8:15 pm

thank you jai. nice to be wanted. even if it's only so jac has someone to fish-slap!

8:15 pm

Kate, you know I woldn't really hurt you.

8:16 pm

You are welcome. Literally. I hope I did not embarass you, but you have brought much laughter and joy to the grid!

8:16 pm

but you promised to cook me a meal jac

8:16 pm

I met my partner on the internet, but not on a dating si4/4. We just 'clicked' on a genral interest site not unlike this one.

8:17 pm

Kate - I know, and I will when you arrive.

8:17 pm

not easily embarrassed jai. love you to pieces

ok time to go, happy babbling all,

8:17 pm

checking air miles....taking off shoes to count...

8:17 pm

Bye 72 Temple Owl! I will see you tomorrow in the log!

8:17 pm

'Bye TO. Hope all goes well and see you again soon.

8:18 pm

bye TO, good luck, you social butterfly

8:18 pm

LOL, Kate, You only have 20 air miles then?

8:18 pm

<a pun> What do you call someone who is wearing the most deodorant? Answer: ar 7,32

it feels strange to be on the site anymore since i am away from home so much

8:18 pm

LOL jai.

8:19 pm

jai, that was BR-worthy

8:19 pm

TO - you've not got a wireless laptop then?

8:19 pm

Ty <bows>

8:19 pm

i hsave more thsan 20 toes jac, don't yoiu?

8:19 pm

Not that I use a laptop if I can help it. Much prefer my hard-wired home pc.

8:20 pm

Kate - if you have more than 10 toes you need to take more water with your next drink.

well i borught it the first week but i don't have time nor inclination to sue it. i stare at a screen all day now.

8:21 pm

water? DO YOU KNOW WHAT FISH DO IN THAT?????

i am going to become like the ladies in my profile

8:22 pm

Oh, TK, that was rofl funny!

8:22 pm

a worthy aspiration TO

except without the cats. too messy ;D

8:23 pm

< curtsey >...thne another <quick bob>

8:23 pm

cats are rather fastidious TTO

i am not getting oen until they can use the toilet. and flush.

8:25 pm

Cats may be fastidious but they don't like us being more so...http://tinyurl.com/2tzmw9

8:26 pm

http://tinyurl.com/2tzmw9

8:26 pm

How To Wash A Cat is the link I just posted and it's all true.

8:26 pm

they can be trained for toilet, but not to flush TO

8:27 pm

Yes...it involves some complicated persuasion and Saran Wrap.....sounds like a sex game, come to think of it....

8:28 pm

suits, helmets, gauntlets, shredded plastic and towelling, quick moves.... LOL

8:28 pm

ROFL!

rather does sound like that

8:29 pm

jaii - do you honestly think cling film (what we Brits call saran wrap) would hold a cat in for more than 10 seconds at the most?

8:29 pm

can't take the time to look now will see later.must pop out to store...bbs

8:29 pm

tee hee one and all...

bye kate.

8:30 pm

See you later, Kate. Or cultr (as my daughter would text).

8:30 pm

Goodbye TraderKate!I will see you later tonite maybe

8:30 pm

Speaking of daughters texting, I haven't heard a word from her since she went off to the Reading Music fest on Wednesday.

8:31 pm

She's had good weather for 4 music fests this year, not sure if same's going to be true for the final one of the year.

8:31 pm

they have kits of solid colour hard plastic and clear...you put some litter on it in beginning...then punch out progressively larger circles until there is onlt toilet seat remaining

8:32 pm

ty all back in a while

8:32 pm

Is that music fest advice or cat toilet training stuff, Kate? LOL

8:34 pm

The girls in the tent next to my daugher, 2 years ago, had taken a bucket for hair-washing with them. They left it upturned outside their tent to dry and some drunken guy came along, turned it right way up and cr*pped in it.

bye! *poof*

8:34 pm

They threw the bucket away and didn't bother washing their hair aftre that.

8:35 pm

BRB - break for comfort and to sort cat out.

8:42 pm

Everyone gone?

8:42 pm

uots

8:43 pm

Glad you spelled that wrong, chrisk so you don't end up in the Pentaly Box (PB).

8:44 pm

However, it's not a grid word today.

8:45 pm

Jac, I challenged you to Bowling Buds

8:46 pm

If you're looking for 'o' words, there are boating words, porridge words, a solemn promise, toothlike words, a frequent word, a singlaur plural word, another about the tart of something and more.

8:47 pm

Hi Monkey. Did you? I'm not FB until later. Will accept your challenge then.

8:47 pm

fi7?

8:59 pm

Jac - You post the best music on FB ..

8:59 pm

Whatyear areyou on re Corrie, jilli? I gave up watching about 5or 6 years ago, because, as I'vesaid before, Beloved used to ring in the hourof Emmerdale and Corrie.

9:00 pm

jac, about a year behind at this point

9:00 pm

Torg - why thanks! *smiles widely*

9:00 pm

9:04 pm

9:05 pm

torg -- in YOUR HO

9:06 pm

fo7?

9:07 pm

Fine .. In my own humble opinion .. All are free to disagree ..

9:07 pm

Well, what's the next icon theme? Oh, I see -- your favourite word. Is that your just plain favourite word or your favourite Babble word? What do you think?

9:08 pm

But I have 'an eclectic' taste in music, except ffor certain kinds of C&W, and whatever that Tom Jones/Frank Sinatra Vegas music is called,and Cleo Lane's jazz. Hate most of it,especialy Cloe's dooby doo stuff, but love Glenn Miller trad Jazz. CXan't stand rap/house/garge/ garden/paotio or whatever it's called - it makes me instantly want to murder someone. Oh, and why are those ipods with headphones calledd personal stereos? They all play them loud enough the hear the chunka chunka, plink, plink, but not quite loud enough to hear what the song is and each and every one of them will be deaf by the time they are my age.

9:08 pm

what a golfer shouts while driving, fo** + smile, you're on can*** camera

9:08 pm

PLEASE, no more about music.

9:08 pm

ty

9:09 pm

Okay, jilli.

9:09 pm

Except that Tom Jones and Frank Sinatra should not be linked together in any way.

9:10 pm

Whatever .. out

9:10 pm

Is music like politics for you, jilli? I never discuss religion or politics with anyone but family if I can help it.

9:10 pm

Not at all, jac. No more, please.

9:11 pm

Torg - listen to my links, if I haven't deleted them on FB. I've had to do quite a bit of delating since my family clan moved onto FB.

9:11 pm

Music has huge generation gaps -- let's leave it at that .

9:12 pm

I actually loved Robbie Williams cd of lounge music.But I'll shut up now. LOL

9:13 pm

jilli - one of my faves is the Glenn Miller Band. I want to dance every time I hear then and have done since I was about 3o or 4.

9:14 pm

I loved Glenn Miller -- and Tommy Dorsey -- and Sinatra with his wonderful voice control and acting ability -- and now I have to go and get supper. Back later.

9:14 pm

hello babble friends!

9:15 pm

See you later, jilli. Enjoy your meal.

9:15 pm

Hi Trif.

9:15 pm

That's the young Sinatra, when he sang with Dorsey...

9:16 pm

Wasn't Tommy Dorsey Englebert Humperdinck's original name?

9:17 pm

Theyound Sinatra, like the young Brando, was dark and sexy.

9:17 pm

had a lovely day today. Went down to Maine with the kiddos and Primos

9:17 pm

9:18 pm

Whathappened during therunning into, Trif?

9:18 pm

Sounds like fun ..

9:18 pm

Torg - I thought you'd left. Welcome back.

9:18 pm

extra treat - turns out a gallery was doing a large show of works by John Lennon, including several framed prints of hand-written lyrics to songs he wrote for the Beatles, and some of his solo work. Seeing "beautiful boy" the way he originally wrote it was quite touching

9:19 pm

Just checked out for a bit .. If my opinion is so disturbing to someone, I'll just go away for a while ..

9:20 pm

TORGIE!! hi again everyone

9:20 pm

you never disturb me, dear Torgone!

9:20 pm

Hi everyone

9:20 pm

hi dr

9:21 pm

DR, were you the one that was telling me about reading Mary Roach? She is so great!

9:21 pm

Hi Dawger- megadude is also logged in

9:21 pm

Trif - I can imagine it would be. What I want to find in my attic, amongst the stuff my grandma saved, which I haven't yet fully explored, is George Harrison's original writing for either 'Something' or 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps'. I doubt it will happen though, all I will get is pics og him in nappies or toddling in a garden somewhere in Liverpool or Cheshire.

9:21 pm

hey megadude!!

9:21 pm

no that was not me Trif but I have seen her books

9:21 pm

I just said I liked Jac's taste in music and we were ordered not to talk about music ..

9:21 pm

Hi DR.

yo dawg

9:22 pm

Hi Jac

yo jac

9:22 pm

how's life treating you Duude

9:22 pm

Arrgh, my bad memory is bugging me! someone suggested Mary Roach as an author the other day, so I checked one of her books out of the library, and it is SO GREAT. I want to thank the right person, but I don't remember who it was.....arrrgh

9:22 pm

Torg - don't you dare go away! You're my champion and I will wear your colours next time you joust.

good

9:23 pm

9:26 pm

May I please have a clue for fo7-48? Thanks

9:26 pm

9:27 pm

9:27 pm

9:30 pm

Dude, bring home the first round of good grades and maybe it will be a done deal

9:30 pm

ROFL Dawger!!

9:31 pm

Yes, monkey .. I like their stuff

9:31 pm

DR - if it's your child who's asking to be made 'Pro' don't do it! He'll never be up in time for school, he won't get his homework done...

9:31 pm

my new fave is Eric Hutchinson

9:31 pm

Tor, I was just introduced to their music by a co-worker and I really like them

9:31 pm

Torg - thak you for that.

9:31 pm

9:31 pm

I like the Black Keys too, and not just because they're from Akron ..

9:32 pm

9:32 pm

I will check them out, thank u

9:32 pm

9:33 pm

9:33 pm

Dude has a lot of other things to distract him other than babble.

9:33 pm

Okay, calling all Rock and Metal fans - post a link to a song you think I might like.

If I get duaghter's long ago ex-b/f back into house, more polkas might be fun for us to dance to. Otherwise, give me the rock I crave.LOL

10:22 pm

*envisions pan-world badge with babble logo emblazoned across back*

10:22 pm

TEA~!!!!! *faint*

10:22 pm

Min! you're a bit blue today.

hey now!

10:22 pm

tea, did you come up this summer?

10:22 pm

Ohm, and btw he isn't her ex becaueoff our dancing.

10:23 pm

LOL ex-not-ex? sounds confusing, Jac!

nope = stuck here!

10:23 pm

That's my icon clue for today.I chose blue since that is my favorite color.Didn't know it would stand out so

has anyone been following the Jaycee Lee Dugard story?

ugh, it makes me sick

10:23 pm

okay -- then I didn't miss you.

10:24 pm

oh tea, that is just the saddest story for quite a while, Ithink

10:24 pm

Jacula? Need any schottisches?

10:24 pm

love the gang idea stiddy...crossy may wish to loan us his bacon scented jackets

10:24 pm

listing with 138 to go

10:24 pm

I thought the theme was favourite WORD. Still wondering if it's a Babble word or just any old word.

its local to us and it is just awful

I remeber when she was kidnapped, a co worker's husband was an FBI agent on the case and it haunted him

10:25 pm

That's for tomorrow jillibus. Not tomorrow yet for me

10:25 pm

He is her ex. dtid, but not mine re the males she has presented me with over the years. I still think he's thr right one for her, and so does my Other Half , and os does her brother.

10:25 pm

gee whiz, tea -- how hard it must have been. I know the law enforcement folks are looking back now and finding all sorts of missed clues and opportunoities.

10:26 pm

However, should she wnt to win him back sometime, she will have too work hard because she hyrt him a lot.

10:26 pm

Hi tea haven't seen you on for a while Was in Reno not long ago, got home sick

10:26 pm

Not sure jillibus. Sprite seemed to have lots of words in her icon.I think that you could do either/or jillibus

10:26 pm

aren't they saying he might be a serial killer too now?

10:26 pm

hey jill! I am officially DONE now. And starting to get things put away in the office (little by little)

10:26 pm

shame on you, stiddy, for confusing TK...am geographically challenged as it is...but am pretty sure you are n/w coast....not south of crossy at all...

10:26 pm

oh, yes, min -- thought you were posting for tomorrow because today is a word from the grid and there's no B or L or U!

they are searching his property for bodies at this point

10:26 pm

BODIES????? no way.

10:27 pm

Hi stid -- I left you an appropriate message on FB

10:27 pm

I thought CRoss was near Vancouver?

10:27 pm

Ata - hi. What are you talking about? The girl who emerged after 18 years?

10:27 pm

lol ,no stid

10:27 pm

oh! then I shall check FB -- I rarely go there these days. Maybe more now that obligations are done

10:27 pm

TK -- very definitely time for you to go pro or else

yes, Jacula, she was a local to us girl

10:28 pm

hmph. silly me, then cross -- I guess it was just wishful thinking

10:28 pm

georgian bay regien near blue mtn in the lil town of collingwood

10:28 pm

come on, stid -- you posted just yesterday!

10:28 pm

May I please have a clue for fi5-18 the 2nd? Thanks

10:28 pm

Stiddy - I suspect by this time next time, you will have me living permanently in Astoria. If the US govt will allow me to.

10:29 pm

fi 5/18 is fi plus "the L*** is my shepard" gapeach1066

10:29 pm

lol, collingwood -- Toronto's excuse for ski country (this from an ex-Montrealer)

10:29 pm

Tea - I couldn't work out what the newspaper was trying to say.... did she originaly live with her mum and a stedad who'd been marked as a sex offender?

10:29 pm

fi + room and b*a**

10:30 pm

gee, talk about the great white north, eh? *adjusting touque*

10:30 pm

Astoria, L.I.?

10:30 pm

Thanks a bunch, BabbleRabble.

10:30 pm

Was the guy who seemed to belong to some personal religious sect of his own connected with that, or was it just a random snatching?

10:30 pm

WOW Atalante -- then you'll maybe actually have time to meet me! LOL *eyes boggle with the idea*

10:30 pm

with the citiots,its a hate /love thing jilli

10:30 pm

kate does not like to be threatened ****POOF****

10:31 pm

yes, crossy

10:31 pm

I know!!!! It'll be much easier if Im there permanently. Ayla gets so "jealous" of her limited time with me that we hardly see *anyone* for the month. But if Im living there, I'm not going to go away, and we have *time* and time to go visit people!

10:31 pm

my own getaway place is a little town 3 hours north of me on lake nippising called callander

10:31 pm

no jill -- I post via a twitter feed, not directly to FB. Not for months and months.

10:31 pm

Not sure what Kate's on about, but sleep well Kate.

10:32 pm

((hugs Kate))

10:32 pm

what about Hobbit? will she come too?

10:32 pm

what is up with Kate? is she okay?

10:32 pm

I think it was jill's 10:27 post... I hope KAte is just joking.

10:33 pm

did i say something wrong to kate..have to scroll back....

10:33 pm

stid, I don't know from twitter -- should have known you would be up on all the latest

10:33 pm

yes, Hobbit and Silverclaw :)

10:33 pm

ahh ok,she is just having fun then:)

10:33 pm

good. *nods head in satisfaction* in that case, just tell me when and I will show up with my minivan to haul boxes.

10:34 pm

stid, I think you're right -- I'm the offensive one for trying to get her to go pro (again)

10:34 pm

It's so easy to take offence on here, isn't it, like anywhere on the internet when faces and body language can't be seen, It works both ways, one person can just think they're being friendly and trying to connect and others can see it as stalking a la Mikey. I think that happened to J.. in some cases.

10:34 pm

no, I think she's not kidding

10:34 pm

see? i can get away with it..everyone know im offensive;)

10:34 pm

I think she just misunderstood, Jill -- it'll be okay

10:34 pm

J,C, I meant to say.

10:35 pm

cross, dear -- you'll have to try a LOT harder to be offensive! how did your vacation go, anyway?

10:35 pm

at least i dont think she took it to heart

10:35 pm

you're so right, Jac

10:35 pm

was waaay too short stid;((

10:35 pm

I'm trying to decide which would be easiest - a 5 hour flight into NY / Boston with Hobbit and then driving her across the country (I hatethe idea of her being in the plane hold) or a 9 hour flight into Seatac, and then no driving. 5 hours just seems so much nicer for the animals

10:36 pm

ATalante, it's a very LONG drive across country, though. Tranquilizers and a 9-hour flight might be preferable for you all...

10:36 pm

drive/flight combo ata..no contest

10:36 pm

ata, I don't think the time stretch will make a bit of difference to Hobbit

10:36 pm

It's up to you., Ata. Guess you're leaving us to go to uSA then?

10:36 pm

ata, come to Boston! I will pick you up at the airport, and if you stay a day or two, you could meet a LOAD of babblers!!! And hobbit can romp and play on my beaches

10:36 pm

As axed!!!! *jumps up and down excitedly*

10:37 pm

they won't tranq dogs now

10:37 pm

please come to boston in the springtime...lala

10:37 pm

di5-12 please.....Thanks

10:37 pm

or go on loooong tramps through the woods...you choose!

10:37 pm

lol and being able to meet babblers is an incentive too :P

10:37 pm

ah, that is true -- Atalante could go across country meetingt babblers everywhere. Wouldn't have to buy food or pay for lodging... LOL

10:37 pm

I did wonder, jilli. It's so hard to know truly what is best for the dog

10:37 pm

what is quarantine time for critters coming from the UK?

10:38 pm

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PX5t9V JweQ

10:38 pm

none, stid. we don't have rabies

10:38 pm

oh! you don't? *puzzled look* wow.

10:38 pm

di + o*** von bismarck

10:38 pm

Stid - thanks for seeing thatre JC - it might help me reply to him lateer.

10:38 pm

we tried to tranq my susiecat for her flight from Montreal to Vancouver -- when she arrived we found the stupid pill in the bottom of her crate where she coughed it up. She survived just fine.

10:39 pm

Thanks, BabbleRabble.

10:39 pm

looool bratcat

10:39 pm

vets don't advise tranqs now anyway, I don't think

10:40 pm

what is the de 5/14 please?

10:41 pm

something very depressing ...

10:41 pm

without life

10:41 pm

oops..brb..have to do a drive-by kissing on the mrs....

10:41 pm

because Lucky gets seizures, the only real sedation we are allowed to give him is benadryl -- or the IV stuff at the vet's office.

10:42 pm

ARGGGGGH!!! *eating unalive fish* thanks BR

10:42 pm

ata, we had a bad experience with a tranqed Dane puppy flown to Nfld from Mtl -- totally messed up metabolism

10:42 pm

poor puppy!

10:42 pm

Can I ask you something Babbleers? I know 'Mikey from Germany' was a pain in the butt, but I don't think J.C. from Kent meant to be. He's gay and he's in showbiz, which often gives a look at me and listen to me style, but I don't think he meant to 'stalk' and I don't think he deserved the sarcasm. He's a newbie, 66 months or so, and needs to learn how our saracasm works. Belive me, he's the queen of the put down himse;f. Give him a chance.

10:43 pm

did he get blocked or something jacula?

10:43 pm

did JC have a meltdown while I was out?

10:43 pm

her owners DROVE her back to us and we replaced her. She was my little darling.

10:43 pm

he was plain rude and hurtful, not just sarcastic, to me and a good few others, jac

10:44 pm

poor little puppy.

10:44 pm

which one was she, jill?

10:44 pm

we are lucky here,we dont care bout sexual preferences anymore,everyone is equal in the eyes of the law..heck i think we had one guy marry his horse last year;) plus its all about ME:))

10:44 pm

OH! and I saw a BBC article, Jill that made me think of you instantly. Researchers have narrowed dog coat qualities down to just three genes for length, curl and texture!!!!

10:45 pm

yes, cross. Canadians ARE lucky.

10:45 pm

jac, when was this? today?

10:45 pm

been marrying same sex couples for 3 years now..same govt benifits are standard

10:46 pm

BUT! same rules don't apply if you want to emigrate to the US to marry a same-sex partner

10:46 pm

de 5 before the undo-rodent pleasE?

10:46 pm

plus i can watch a female couple necking on a park bench for hours:))

10:47 pm

The de5/12 word is one who believes in god stidmama

10:47 pm

no, because the U.S. doesn't recognize same-sex relationships. a few states do, but immigration is a federal policy

10:47 pm

ouich! wife saw that!]

10:47 pm

one who believes in a god

10:47 pm

We called her Sooty because she had such a rich black mask. The male in our house adored her and was very protective of her (at age 4 months) when she was almost on her deathbed. One of my happiest moments was when she had been in the living room, lying almost unconscious, and I was in the kitchen, and all of a sudden, the little thing tottered into the kitchen to see me.

10:47 pm

thanks BR

10:47 pm

rofl oh cross... I thought wife was gone?

10:47 pm

i stumbled up on a same-sex wedding this weekend on a beach, and it was LOVELY. very romantic and all lovey dovey. the women looked so blissful. sigh

10:47 pm

No, Trif - but some of my friends were not too impressed with him and it's them I am appealing to now.I have a gay friend, elsewhere who was once introduced to him and was glared at by himm but I know my friend ad can understand why that might have happened.

10:48 pm

not that I want to move to the US to marry a same-sex partner, but I would feel very offended not to be able to do so

10:48 pm

what a sweety pie, Jill. I bet she was gorgeous. All your dogs I have seen pics of were.

10:49 pm

sorry jac,beong serious,it matters not when a couple gets together as long as they unite in love and share each others lives to the exclusion of all others

10:49 pm

Great icon jillibus! I love it!Has many good words in it

10:49 pm

is the di 7 fishy?

10:49 pm

I have had several pleasant chats with JC, so I have no grudge against him at all. I did notice, though, that he does seem to meet a lot of friction, here and on another site, apparently. He sent me a looong email detailing an altercation he had with some nutjob on another site, and apparently it got quite vicious against him.

10:50 pm

I couldn't care who JC is, as long as he's polite and considerate. Except he's not. He's rude and stalkerish and unpleasant.

10:50 pm

what is considered stalkerish on here?

10:50 pm

A di 7/32 word includes a ra 4/4 word in it stidmama.

10:50 pm

(((asking in all seriousness)))

10:50 pm

thanks Min *thinking*

10:50 pm

crossy slowly backs away....

10:51 pm

J.C. was on here earlier today, but didn't chat w/him

10:51 pm

*hides behind cross*

10:51 pm

it really depends on the people, tri -- I like JC.

10:51 pm

well for me and a friend it was constant emails off site and at other sites we go to, constant asking if we'd join in games with him on yahoo, and then informing him that his spy network monitors everything I say on babble and reports back to him

10:52 pm

always remember ladies..and gents,if i offend in any way i want to know right away,cause im just enjoying myself on here and dont want to make anyone uncomfortable

10:52 pm

ata - I don't think he means to be, though I've read back on the chogs he's sent me and I would have seen them that way to, had I not known him. Re the sites etc., ata, same for me, buthe's not a bad huy.

10:53 pm

wow, that would make me more than a tad uncomfortable too, ata. I actually have that problem, to a lesser degree, with an ex-babbler on FB

10:53 pm

got the Di words!!!!

10:53 pm

yaa for stid!!

10:53 pm

he's been utterly vicious to me on here. read those chat logs!

10:53 pm

He doesn't need any reporters.He can just go to the archives. Not so good to talk about people here then

10:53 pm

stid -- little Sooty had eplieptic seizures the vet attributed to all the stress she had been through, so we had her spayed and she died on the table. Some time after that, I went to Memphis to do a breeding, and went with the stud owner and friends to a piano bar. The pianist played " Tiny Bubbles" and I dissolved into tears. Nobody knew why.

10:54 pm

is the fi 7 fishy?

10:54 pm

Ata - there's no better bitch than a gay guy - they knock we women into a cocked hat on that one.

10:54 pm

poor little Sooty! poor Jilli!

10:54 pm

(((Jill))) I am so very sorry.

10:54 pm

crossy feels bad that ata has been made uncomfortable;( (((ata)))

10:54 pm

no, not bitchy, nasty

10:54 pm

atalante, I am sorry you had that problem with JC.

10:54 pm

in a similar, but sort of unrelated vein - I friended a bunch of babblers on FB, and, to be honest, I can't remember who a lot of them are! I can't match their real names to their babble names...so so so embarrassing!

10:55 pm

The fi 7/44 word includes the de 5/12 word stidmama

10:55 pm

AAAAAAAall I can tell him, which I will later is that anything that gets typed in the chog her stays here and so anyoneand everyone can read it.

10:55 pm

loooool trif. I have a list of real names and babble names - let me find the link foryou

10:55 pm

I have the SAME problem, tri -- but no one has trouble remembering who I am. LOL

10:55 pm

tried fb,not for crossy,plus i dont want you seeing my uglymug:)

10:55 pm

thanks again Min *thinking more*

10:56 pm

cross, my dear friend, I doubt you are ugly. I suspect your wife has FAR better taste than that!

10:56 pm

I've told JC that I will not fall out with my Babble friends over him but I just wanted to put his case to you before I put it to him.

10:56 pm

I can't say that I have ever had a problem with JC -- he is always perfectly nice to me, and vice versa, but I am so sorry to hear that you and he had stress, Ata.....

10:56 pm

I just wish babblers would post their babble names under their pictures

10:56 pm

wow. peculiar fi word.

10:56 pm

crossy smiles and hugs stid((()))

10:57 pm

babble is where I come to escape stress not find more!

10:57 pm

jacula, he does have friends here! make sure he knows that!

10:57 pm

ooof! not so hard, cross, I just ate supper! LOL

10:57 pm

and ata, you do too of course!

10:57 pm

That fi7 word is rather prominent these days if you check the meaning

10:57 pm

lol trif,if your a good girl ill post a few new limerics tommorow

10:57 pm

Evening all!

10:58 pm

ninnie!

10:58 pm

hello nonnie

10:58 pm

nonnie even

10:58 pm

hey nonnie!

10:58 pm

LOL (nonnie ninnie...)

10:58 pm

hello, any icon clues out there?

10:58 pm

lol ninnie is probably more appropriate cross

10:58 pm

I should say hey nonnie noonie no, shouldn't I?

10:59 pm

lol your no ninnie

10:59 pm

see mine, harp

10:59 pm

yikes, jill -- so it is!

10:59 pm

hey harp!

10:59 pm

i can't figure yours out jill but i just started!

10:59 pm

I love it when nono and I are here together...it gets rather confusing!

11:00 pm

Trif - I'm surehe knows that, but all I can say, and he'll read this too, and maybe have a fit, is that gay men often seem to throw their dummy out of the pram far quicker than women do. And they can be more bitchy. Far more bitchy! The worst inssults i@ve ever had have been from gay male friends who then rescind.

11:00 pm

yes, you twin-type babblers get me all cross-eyed sometimes.

11:00 pm

TRIF: http://tinyurl.com/l5qhdp

11:00 pm

hmmmm. the worst insults I have ever received have been from ---my sisters! And I still love them. but then, families are like that. They know where the jugular is....

11:02 pm

Fs finished!

11:02 pm

go mama go

11:02 pm

I am hiding from the intense "real life" type TV show Tom is watching. I will reenter the living room when it ends...

11:02 pm

Anwyay, enough about .C. I've said my piece andwiullsay it and moreagain later, preferavbly on the 'phone if he'll give me his number again without too many hoops to jump through. We have more schooll uniform to go and get later, when Other Half has slept his red wine for Friday off and I've slept by white wine for the weekend off.

11:02 pm

thanks ata! well done you!!!

11:03 pm

i's ixed!

11:03 pm

What is he watching, Stid?

11:03 pm

wanna have a go at my real-life dilemna, stid?

11:03 pm

why not, tri?

11:03 pm

I think it's "

11:03 pm

"24" or similar cop-detetive show

11:03 pm

I gueess you've all heard the good news the British TV CXhanne; 4 has fialy dumped Big Brother?

11:04 pm

Jacula? I can give you a link to nice schottische?

11:04 pm

(Trif - if you know any more, could you add them to the list pls!)

11:04 pm

my real life dilema is that it impossible to make a blt whilst laying in bed..darn mayo gets everwhere;)

11:04 pm

hurrah!

11:04 pm

rofl, poor poor cross!

11:04 pm

I can't believe Big Bro has lasted as long as it has. I watched on part of one episode the first season and didn't like the program.

11:04 pm

lying in bed -- hens lay

11:05 pm

lol cross

11:05 pm

turns out that last weekend my wasband had a house-warming party at his new house - the one he bought behind my back with the money in our brokerage account. And who all went to this party? All the women I go to breakfast with on Tuesday mornings, for starters, along with their husbands (who he is friends with) and their children. And my next door neighbor, and her boyfriend. Basically, the women I *thought* were my support system. At his house. And, yes, they know exactly the circumstances by which he bought the house.

11:05 pm

crossy hates reality shows..if i want reality when im at home,ill open a window;))

11:05 pm

maybe cross lays, Jill? after all, we have only his word that he is a) male and b) human...

11:05 pm

May I please have a clue for dr5-12 the 2nd? Thanks

11:05 pm

thet SUCKS trif

11:05 pm

Ata - you do knnow I'm a surviving twin?

11:06 pm

oh golly, tri. that is horrible.

11:06 pm

So - do I cut them off, knowing that they are apparently quite content to still socialize with him, knowing how he has treated me and my children, or do I allow them to be Switzerland, and say nothing?

11:06 pm

((many hugs for tri))

11:06 pm

oooo really?

11:06 pm

im sorry trif,no one should be treated that way

11:06 pm

dr5/12 -- not naked (old form)

11:06 pm

let them know you are hurt, but give them a chance, tri -- it may be that there is more than a simple answer to this one.

11:07 pm

BR - can I shoot you or should I beat your with a leather whip or a cat o' nine tails?

11:07 pm

they claim they don't want to take si5. but I say choosing not to choose is a choice. and they have chosen him, apparently.

11:07 pm

poor trif -- what a shabby thing to do

11:07 pm

they could be double agents and checking up on him

11:07 pm

let's hope, ata

11:07 pm

no such luck, ata. Of course, he interprets their presence as acceptance and permission for what he has done.

11:08 pm

Oh, trif...I'm sorry your friends were so thoughtless.

11:08 pm

Thanks, jillibus.

11:08 pm

sorry trif,bad time for me being goofy:/

11:08 pm

yw, peach :)

11:08 pm

Trif - if they are female, they know what's in your hhead abd therefore you should cut them out of your life without thought.

11:08 pm

*sigh*

11:08 pm

it's one thing to not want to keep inviting him to stuff at their house. But to go to a party, CELEBRATING his new house? That feels like they have crossed a line, somehow

11:09 pm

absolutely

11:09 pm

but am I cutting off my nose to spite my face, cutting myself off from them? they will carry on, and I will be the one left out.

11:10 pm

Ata - you are where I was 14 years ago and I havn't forgotten how it feels.

11:10 pm

That's the bitter pill, trif

11:10 pm

*hugs Jac*

11:10 pm

do you think of these people as close friends, tri -- or "social friends?" If you wouldn't miss them if they disappeared, I wouldn't worry about what they do... if they are close friends and you would miss them, I would tell them how you feel.

11:11 pm

Trif, as time goes by, you'll probably find that you and the old friends will drift apart but you'll make new friends and hopefully you'll be in a better place.

11:11 pm

Trif - if they want to still flirt with our huuby, they are NOT your friends. Hard to go it alone I know, but you must do it.

11:11 pm

Left out of what? A confidant who betrays me is not a friend of mine.

11:11 pm

one of them is one of my best friends. and my neighbor and I are very, very close. they don't want to flirt with him, I assure you. They just want to act like everything is the same.....

11:11 pm

Gently leaving this scene...

11:12 pm

If their husbands are still friends with your ex, the women probably felt torn between friendship and duty, perhaps???

11:13 pm

Iunderstand,jilli. Sorry about al the vreakups and rock musics, but that's the way it is sometimees, as I'm sure you know.xx

11:13 pm

sorry jilli - didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. At the end of the day, what these women are doing is going along w ith their husbands. the women themselves are not friends with him, per se. But the husbands are, which is the crux of the problem

11:13 pm

Nonnie may have something there.

11:13 pm

I will leave it now jilli - don't want you to have to leave!

11:13 pm

peopele who do that to women they love are a mystery to crossy,like a foreign language,crossy goes to grid..sploosh

11:14 pm

BR - you didn't yet teell me of your preference for punishment. LOL

11:14 pm

I did a stupid thing today...my curling iron (on the highest setting) slipped out of my grip. Of course the rod landed on my forehead and burnt that. Natural reflex had me trying to catch the blasted thing so the rod landed on my forearm. Without being able to see where the darn thing was, I grabbed at it and of course caught the hot rod, bare handed. I was worn to a frazzle!

11:17 pm

no guilt over jill, tri -- she is a strong, smart, capable woman who has been through this with her friends many times I am sure

11:17 pm

Though there was some bloke who had to stand right by a busy road in Virginia,USA today wearing, a poster that said 'i cheated#
