Hi Nono

Hi Nono - and fine, herin. You?

Good just picked up a second hand copy of Torchwood

Book or DVD?

DVD at least half price

Saw the last TV series but haven't seen any others. Don't have a TV, but we have a "Listen Again" (or view again) facility in the UK.

I love watching Torchwood. Just reading about Dr who

That's me done. Must be off. Byeeee to all babblers and lurkers. Poof!

enjoy

6:36 am

good afternoon all

SPRITEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

6:39 am

hey lady, how've you been?

Good so missed you

Good so missed you

6:40 am

missed my babblefriends and the game too! But now I have a wonderful computer, built for me by a friend. Should last me for years to come.

6:40 am

how's school going? And are you keeping your sanitiy in balance in all the stress?

6:44 am

hi sprite so happy to see you back!!!

6:44 am

hi all

Opps. Hi sorry gosh I just drifted off then

6:45 am

jmc :) Thanks and vice versa. how are you?

School is good not giving up. Hi JM too. I have missed you sprite

6:46 am

vice versa, lady. Wtg on school. Don't wanna sound mamaish but am sooo proud of how you keep on doing it.

Thank you Sprite I really need it. Failed badly on my Law of Evidence test oppse

6:47 am

good morning babble friends! echo the sentiments on sprite's return!

6:47 am

sometimes it takes a temporary failure to get something down pat. A learning experience, is all :)

TRIFEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS

6:47 am

morning herin me love

I have so missed seeing you about Sprite I thought I was going as you were entering and vice versa. Sorry your pc was being poo

6:48 am

oh juggling too many things as usual but happy to have babbleland as a refuge

6:48 am

hiya Trif! How's the cold and how are you?

6:49 am

sorry to hear about the test herin -- I am sure you will get it the next time

6:49 am

less sneezy today, coughing up lots of gross looking stuff. but better, on the whole. colds rarely last long, that's the blessing of them

6:49 am

*****slinking in sheepishly after months of being away from babble***** hi all!

It sucks alot but that is my fault need to screw the bolts in a bit tighter

6:49 am

one of my new mottos, jmc: the fact we CAN multitask, doesn't necessary mean we MUST or WANT TO! ;)

6:49 am

lol tell that to my creditors!

6:49 am

in even better news, looks like my dad will be transferred out of the ICU today - an absolute answer to feverent prayer!

6:50 am

Hi asg! good to see you again

6:50 am

lady, that is not a fault. It has been a serious try and now you know what more is needed. It is a successful experiment.

6:50 am

wonderful trif

6:50 am

ohhhh Trif I am so glad. *hugs*

6:50 am

hi AsGreen, welcome back

6:51 am

lol - thanks! not sure who has been praying more, us or the nurses!

6:51 am

lol.. creditors... silly people!

6:51 am

the nurses are glad to see the back of you? ;-) or it is because you are all so nice they wish you well

6:52 am

i agree sprite and yet I must live within their dictates

6:52 am

no, no, the nurses will be celebrating seeing the back of my dad - he is the epitome of the old chestnut about doctors making the worst patients.

6:52 am

so true, jmc, and you are wi4 enough to know it :D

6:52 am

and that is why we love him. the grumpy old bear! total, TOTAL marshmallow underneath!

6:52 am

which reminds me I turned on my computer to get a phone number to call about the phone of my hotline being screwed up so I best be getting about my business

6:53 am

bbl

6:53 am

no sin bin for you, Trif, after such good news ;)

The Melbourne theater company is selling old stuff as they are moving mega drops of Red velvet curtains

6:53 am

bfn, jcm, and good luck with it all

6:53 am

good news and good that his grumpiness paid off! lol {{{{trif}}}}

6:53 am

oh, the temptation, herin!

6:53 am

{{{{sprite}}}}

6:53 am

{{{{everyone}}}}}!!!!

Wonderful news Trifs on your dad

6:53 am

*poof*

6:53 am

owww lady... you cannot let th4 pass up, can you? Or must you?

6:54 am

oops - sorry sprite- didn't even realize

Must as I have no need for it but its all newish (one show run only ) material and I could wangle it under industry

awww hugs all round

No the curtains sold o well

6:56 am

*giggles* Trif, of course not, with a heart full of good news.

6:56 am

imagine... a medieval cape from deep red thick velvet

6:56 am

yes, and a head full of antihistamine....

6:57 am

lolll indeed, that is an intense combination, Trif

6:58 am

actually, I would be a bit leery of materials used in stage construction. usually over here they are coated in all sorts of flame retardant and other fixatives that are appropriate for industrial use, but I wouldn't want it near skin or breathed near too often....

6:58 am

argh, the voice of common sense. You are too right, Trif.

Good morning the I have 10 left and the st's are killing me

6:59 am

It doesn't mean it is treated with that in australia though! definitely worth asking the question, though

6:59 am

*whispers: hubby and son are picking up girlfriend of son, first time we get to see her... they are going to a hallowe' en evening in a theme park tonight*

6:59 am

hi Marc

It says red velvet i didn't care about the rest of the stuff it was the very Gone With the Wind moment

hello sprite, how was the flounder?

7:00 am

whoooo - meeting the girlfriend! nervous laughter all around....

7:00 am

the flounder? Hold on, must look up the word (stupid dutch girl moment)

7:00 am

geesh, marc she hasn't even met her yet!

7:01 am

lol, my son is very nervous, has kept her out of our sight for quite a while.

Very funny, I was not referring to the girl friend I was referring to the last time I spoke to Sprite yesterday she was making breaded flounder for dinner. I asked her if she ever used Panko then has to get off quickly and never heard.

7:02 am

Marc, if you mean what I think, I will let you know after we met her :)

Sprite how old is girl?

7:02 am

I think you have me mixed up with somebody else, Marc. I don't do the cooking here.

7:02 am

what is a panko? a spice blend, or a method of cooking?

7:03 am

lady: 14, and my son is 13.

7:03 am

ohh, a cougar!!!

7:03 am

good morning and hi sprite!! panko is a type of bread crumbs -

Sorry, I embarrassed all my kids with the girl and boy friends. Especially the boys who dated my girls. I automatically hated them and was not shy about telling them so. Panko is a Japenese breading. Very light and wonderful to work with.

7:04 am

hi JBV!

My friends son who is 16 had a girl over and was told a lot that the bedroom door had to be open on the third grump his mum turfed them into the lounge room

7:04 am

cute sprite, have fun w/that! :) My kiddos are 10 - and a boy has been calling my daughter "for homework help" every day this week. My son is his friend....so I'm curious! :)

7:04 am

that sounds so good! now I want fish for dinner....and finally I can have it, as the kiddos are away this weekend....

7:04 am

get ready as green, get ready....

Tri where is Norwood

7:04 am

awwww that is cute too, AsGreen.

I was never interested in boys till I was about 18

Sorry Norwell

7:05 am

norwood is about 40 minutes away from me, marc.

7:05 am

so, gang, I just got back from Rwanda - that village I've been involved in for the past couple of years. Amazing experience

7:05 am

please tell, AsG. What have you done there and and and...

Thats OK herin I was not interested in boys either

7:06 am

wow, asgreen - how long were you there? what was your focus? did you find it improved or worsened compared to past visits? wow!!!

7:06 am

wow, AsGreen you must have some great stories - and photos?? will you post them?

7:06 am

lol MarcF. Still not, I think, seeing you are long married?

Tri what state is Norwell in?

Mark Girls were kind of cute but the boys were meat heads

7:07 am

the site is www.asyv.org. My husband's company has made this village their major philanthropy, and has been encouraging employees and spouses to get involve. The village has been open for a year (3 years in the making already)....

7:07 am

jbv speaking of photos, where is your icon photo from?

Yes 35 years to the perfect woman who drives me nuts

7:07 am

...it's for orphans, and so far is focusing on teenage orphans from the 94 genocide

7:07 am

what a wonderful cause, AsG

7:08 am

massachusetts, marc. come visit - we are high up into fall, and it's getting GORGEOUS around here - all the autumn colors you could ever imagine

7:08 am

Trif, that is Raritan Bay, Perth Amboy NJ where I work - I try to have lunch on the waterfront whenever I can if the weather is good

Yes and as far as I am concerned Herin the boys who date my daughters who are now 28 and 30 are still meat heads

7:08 am

it looks lovely, jbv.

Yes Marc you have to say that

7:08 am

...four of us went over to focus on training the directors of the village (the head of school, head of informal education, head of health and wellness, head of adminsitration, etc.) on leadership/management styles, everything from how to write an agenda to how to empower those who work for you...

7:09 am

lol I am scared to see what will happen when my daughter starts dating... will have to keep hubby on a short leash...

7:09 am

oh, marc, I heard the funniest thing last week, but I can't remember where...let's see, how did it go? It was about boys picking girls up at the house....

Wow Green so you been and gone and everything

7:09 am

Trifioso - panko is Japanese breadcrumbs.

7:09 am

"if you drive up to my house and honk, you had better be delivering something, because you won't be picking anything up!" - something like that. I rolled!

7:09 am

lolll good one

I told all the boys who dated my daughters that I had a shovel, money and land.

7:10 am

good morning babblers!

7:10 am

oh, excellent marc!!!! will remember that one!!!

7:10 am

asgreen, what an amazing investment of time, money, and heart!

7:10 am

and your girls went " Daaa-aaad~"

7:10 am

hi Wolvie

7:10 am

we kept a blog too - if you are interested in our time there check out www.race4rwanda.tumblr.com - it's the most recent first, and goes back. Four trips or so have blogged so far, but ours is the most recent.

7:10 am

I think that quote was in John Ritter's tv show ... stolen from my Dad.

7:10 am

my mom always used to say "please drive carefully, you are carrying precious cargo" - I always loved that!

Sprit protect your daughter and let your husband loose. The boys want one thing and one thing only and they will do and say anything to get it, I mean anything

Thank you Greenie

7:11 am

remembering the day eh Marc? ;-)

7:11 am

it was incredible... simply incredible... these people have suffered so much in their lives and are filled with such hope. Makes you stop and appreciate all we have. Anyway....

7:11 am

hi sprite!

7:11 am

hehehe you have a good memory, Marc

7:12 am

AS green, in the photo with everyone doing the jazz hands, which one are you?

7:12 am

nice blog AsGreen

Hi WOlvie

7:12 am

so true, AsG! What a great thing to do.

7:12 am

and I come home to the neighbor boy calling my daughter! lol

Chritine are you anywhere near Culver City?

7:12 am

hey fern!

7:12 am

hold on Tri - lemme look

7:12 am

trif, re "precious cargo," my mom always said the same thing -- and now I say it too! :-)

7:13 am

hi une!

7:13 am

hey, wolvie!

7:13 am

yay une!

7:13 am

I'm in purple. And my husband is on the far left side of the couch, squatting

Green I was talking the other day to a friend about this site that sells goods that help animals and people and how one handbag is hand made and $250 Aus and my mum agrees that she would rather me spend my money (invisible at the moment) on something like that than a Fendii or Marc Jacobs bag ($500 - $2000 Aus)

7:13 am

bye everyone - good luck with the grid - see you later

7:14 am

I think it is nice that we have sons and daughters that get called for dates and activities. I think I would rather that than a poor kid left home alone all the time, phone never ringing. ugh.

7:14 am

Bye JBV!

By JBV I have to get back to my last 10 and the miserable st's

7:14 am

hi and bye JBV

7:14 am

bye jbv. enjoy perth amboy!

7:14 am

don't forget the ph, Marc, for those st words

7:15 am

shoot, pup needs a walk - gonna jump for now but will be back later, promise!

7:15 am

hold on - sprite, are you saying there are words that have a st, and then a ph right after?

Um I was the kid that was alone all the time

7:15 am

lol no Trif, thanks god there aren't.

7:16 am

yes, me too herin - except for the school plays, which were my saving grace in school, and I mean that sincerely. I don't know what I would have done with out the drama club

7:16 am

same here, lady. I am enjoying the fact my kids are socially in demand. I never was at that age.

7:16 am

bye AsG

nope not even those

7:17 am

oh, and I have a socially embarrassing question for right now

Thanks sprite the ph clue helped alot

7:17 am

so, I joined facebook a while back, and in great eagerness friended every babble player that would have me

7:17 am

this should be interesting...

7:17 am

shoot, Trif. Socially embarrassing is one of my strong points

7:17 am

trif, same here but it was band rather than drama club

7:18 am

yvw Marc

7:18 am

except now, I forget who goes with what babble name - is there a way to tag connections on facebook with nicknames or something?

7:18 am

it is hard trif - my name is Sue Duff - hope that helps. :-)

7:18 am

I can do it for my email address book, but have yet to find a way to do it in facebook

7:18 am

lollll Trif, I had the same thing! I put my babble name into my facebook name to solve it.

7:19 am

I believe fb is not outfitted with a help tool like that

7:19 am

that's what I did sort of - I put my babble name on my profile page

It has a little thingy under your profile you can write a line about you

It has a little thingy under your profile you can write a line about you

7:19 am

I am so embarrassed...

7:20 am

don't be, I think many people have the same problem, Trif :)

7:20 am

I can't bear the thought of having to write a note to all these lovely people that I probably speak to every day, asking them who they are on babble....I am such a meathead. Do'nt let your sons date me!

7:21 am

side note: could somebody please st4 me from entering bison? It is driving me nuts.

7:21 am

my son is too young for you, Trif, but feel free to send your daughters, grin.

7:21 am

sprite leave the bison alone!

I think i just realised that the other day about the profile not

I think i just realised that the other day about the profile not e

7:22 am

thanks Trif!

7:22 am

my daughter who is 13, seems to be stealth dating, so maybe she would enjoy going out with a 13 year old in amsterdam. Then she could TELL everyone she had a beau, but not actually have to deal with one

I am finished and have to get ready to work. Thanks for everything. Sprite now I am curious who made the breaded flounder. I know you were on the chat at the time yesterday. It is going to drive me crazy all day

7:23 am

go back in the archives and search for it, marc

7:23 am

marc, if you go to the archives, you can do a search on bread flounder. I don't remember, but you should be able to find it fast that way. (control F on a windows)

Too lazy

7:23 am

you can use the search box in windows to whip through the chat log for "flounder"

7:24 am

sn4 sprite!

Really how

7:24 am

bad boy. So... a crazy day ahead for you then~

Oh I found a picture of a girl I went to high school and I swear she looks like one of the girls I now go to school with who is about 19 and I want to slap

bad boy, what did I do

7:25 am

someone posted a photo of me and my date from the junior prom in 1981. the scary downside of FB!

7:25 am

lol lady, just realise she needs the fantasy. Reality might be tough for her.

7:25 am

I had the biggest hair on earth!

7:25 am

you were being lazy, Marc :P

7:25 am

sounds beautiful, not bad, Trif

OK but tell me how to go to the archives

7:26 am

hold on, sprite....I will go fetch it, and you can laugh uproariously for yourself...

7:26 am

marc: little button on top right, next to rankings and help buttons.

Um I have a photo of me in primary school on fb luck for me I um under a hat all you can see is a grumpy face

Hey herin I have a 34 year old single son

I have a 33 year old b.f :D thanks

7:28 am

roflollllllllll

Dump him my kid is better

Have enough on my plate with one b.f and 2 kats that are nuts

7:29 am

7:29 am

:D :D Gosh I missed laughing like this. Thanks guys!

The bf is nuts or the cats

both

He bought me a new PC game for my birthday and new Lilly allen cd

Well my son is nuts too. What does the bf do?

He works as an Air Condition person thingy

7:31 am

7:32 am

thanks, dr. I know, I know, you are all so SO jealous right now! (ack)

7:32 am

Trif, delightful! I left a comment :)

OK hope he treats you well. Tell him you have a friend with a shovel, money and land.

7:32 am

7:33 am

Trif... as said, you are beautiful. he, on the other hand...

HI Annie

7:33 am

Hi DR.Triffies I LOVE YOUR HAIR

7:34 am

my friend in Ireland has a brilliant child photo of herself. it

7:34 am

Simply click on the date and then Control + F, Marc. I have been very nice to you... I found it for you, lol. It was Periwinkle.

7:34 am

hi DR

7:35 am

Hi Herin, Sprite, Marc, Annie, Trif...

7:35 am

It's from maybe 1975 or so, and she is on a swing, coming down, wearing a pair of YELLOW plaid flares (bell bottoms) which inflated as she was arching down on the swing, and show her little toothpicky legs and white socks and big clunky brown lace ups. I laugh my teeth out every time I see it.

Yes you are nice and thank you so much once I find it I will let you know how made the flounder Hi DR

7:35 am

lol as I said, I found it for you: Periwinkle did.

7:36 am

awwww so sweet, Trif.

7:36 am

maybe that should be an icon theme - hilariously bad childhood photos?

7:37 am

am working on them right now, Trif, will put this one in at once!

7:37 am

oh, and hey - speaking of blasts from the past, guess who is coming near bo6 for a "remember when" tour? Rick Springfield!

7:38 am

7:38 am

7:38 am

as if there would be a crush for them!

7:40 am

brb, son and girlfriend have arrived :)

7:40 am

trying to decide which would be the more horrifying - the state of him, or the state of the ladies in the audience

7:40 am

ooooo - good luck sprite! be kind!

7:41 am

bye sprite see you soon

7:41 am

hi DR

7:42 am

Hi Wolvie-

Loves Spritee

Trifs I love your prom hair photo. We had a girl at my school that had longer hair similar and she played Magenta

7:46 am

Good morning, all. LOL. The dress is scarier than the hair, Trif.

Sprite I went through the whole chat box and couldn't find the flounder so bit I tried

7:47 am

Hi Judi

Hi Judi

7:55 am

Wow. 10 years since Monsters came out? I'm old.

7:58 am

hi again fern

7:58 am

bye trif

7:59 am

bye, trif

7:59 am

My firend at work has a son who works for Disney- I hear all kinds of stuff from her

7:59 am

I loved Monsters. It made me feel better. Since I used to have monsters in my closet when I was a child. Still can't go to bed without closing the closet doors.

7:59 am

Have a great day Trif

7:59 am

Monsters Inc is one of my favorite movies.

8:00 am

same here, judi! I would "see" the closet door opening wider in the dark!

8:00 am

wonderful movie!

8:00 am

Hi Une!

8:00 am

hey, annie :-)

8:00 am

Exactly, Une! I had sliding closet doors and I swore I could hear them opening!

8:01 am

I could also "see" things lurking under my bed (which was on casters) -- would leap from the door to the bed so "they" couldn't grab my feet -- bed would go flying against the wall LOL!

8:02 am

Une, I just love all your "old" or should I say vintage pictures.

8:02 am

what a freakazoid!

8:02 am

thanks, annie :-)

8:02 am

i was convinced that my toys came alive at night...

8:02 am

ooohhh, eva, like in Twilight Zone

8:02 am

lol ... a different movie all together Evan : )

8:03 am

I would leap from my bed out into the hallway so the under-the-bed monsters wouldn't snatch my ankles.

8:03 am

what a pair we are, judi! LOL

8:03 am

im pretty sure my dad told me they did... i think he thought i would imagine them dancing and having fun, but instead, i was convinced they were gonna get me....heh

8:03 am

oh no, Eva!

8:04 am

We obviously had the same childhood, Une.

8:04 am

i admit, im still afraid of the dark, and i still have a WAY overactive imagination. ;)

8:04 am

:-D

8:05 am

ooh, NBT, NBS, and 100 words down! sounds like a good time for a breakfast break. :)

8:05 am

tome

8:05 am

oops! SOrry

I still think there is a cupboard monster

8:05 am

Eva, it freaks me out every time I take my dogs out to pee after dark and they stop stock still and stare at something I can't see!!

8:06 am

of course, these are the same dogs that "point" trash bags out by the street!

Une they do that I swear we used to have ghost kitties in our house. We would hear a second set of paw prints with only 1 cat in the house or the end of the bed would get heavy and kind of purr like a kitty was there

8:07 am

herin, AAACCKK!!

8:07 am

Awww. It would be lovely to have a kitty ghost, I should think.

8:07 am

:-D

8:09 am

8:09 am

47 to go -- BBL *poof*

8:10 am

screech! no, wolvie . . .

8:10 am

I LOVE that show, Wolvie. Of course, they usually find nothing or manage to debunk most of what they do find. Good clean spooky fun.

8:11 am

8:12 am

8:50 am

i could not survive without my computer

8:50 am

I have a laptop as well as my pc...use both a lot for research

8:50 am

that's what I thought, but it wasn't bad at all.

8:51 am

I have a pc at the office and my laptop at home

8:51 am

but it's the instant communications I would miss most I think

8:51 am

no I actually have to have my computer to do my work!

8:51 am

i can do my emails on my blackberry

8:52 am

don't have one of those and don't think I will

8:52 am

I run a hotline that includes emails so it has been a big boon when i am on the road

8:53 am

I don't need computer for work as such...but I am always researching things for my hobbies and my art

8:53 am

well yes it would be necessary for you, I can see that:)

8:54 am

9:45 am

I am done. Whew

9:45 am

hahaha .. know how much i hate shopping? i went to the mall website, looked a map of the mall and decided to go only to the stores that were in close proximity to each other

9:45 am

sounds like smth I could do

9:47 am

i really hate it. big waste of time (hahaha, am i babbling?) ... wish i could just call them up and tell them what i want. tried that yesterday ... 'can you tell me the difference between the inventory you have at this location compared to the other?" ...thinking i could just go to the best one. no way would they share information. high end store, must be trade secrets LOLOL

9:47 am

I am off to see The Wizard, bye dear babblers

9:49 am

bye Annie

9:49 am

bye welki

9:51 am

huh. it took the capital of Massachusetts.

9:52 am

apparently due to having a violet named after it.

9:52 am

yes, isn't it cool :D

9:52 am

I thought it was a card game and a dance. Hello, all.

9:53 am

yes but those are capitalised and hence not the babble meaning. Hi Vic

9:53 am

i know of neither, but both are as likely, vi :) hello

9:53 am

and yes, sprite, once i overcame my surprise

9:53 am

funny that after all these years with ENABLE it can still surprise me. :)

9:53 am

According to the question mark those are both lower case. But I never heard of either of them before, either.

9:54 am

being surprised is great too

9:54 am

ah, i used define function in Google, instead of ?, as i find dictionary.com almost as dubious as ENABLE

9:54 am

there's a card game today?

9:54 am

whist-like, apparently, harpjane.

9:54 am

i vote for euchre

9:56 am

what's the one that takes two decks? canasta?

9:56 am

My plain-old actual book dictionary lists Bo6 baked beans, brown bread, bull terrier, cream pie, fern, ivy, lettuce, Massacr, rocker, and Tea Party, all uppoer case. But no violets, card games OR dances! lol

9:57 am

Babble: where we're all lost in obscurity.

9:57 am

I don't use the q marks, I like infoplease

9:57 am

hi Judi, obscurity being another nice babble word!

9:57 am

the violet dates to 1987 - http://tinyurl.com/yzyuqeu

9:58 am

yay for obscurity! Hi, Judi

9:59 am

I like to think of it not so much as being lost in obscurity as simply wandering in obscurity without a defined destination.

9:59 am

and of course also the real book dictionaries... I have lots of those

10:00 am

Divagations in Obscurity, if you will...

10:01 am

topscurity, of course

10:01 am

Then, after you go nuts, you'd be a victim of obsquirrelity.

10:02 am

i love book dictionaries and thesauri

10:02 am

I think in my case it would be obesquirrelity

10:02 am

I suppose there are really two issues with the definitions, though. One is what the word means, and the other is what Enable thinks the word means.

10:03 am

third is what we all agree it should mean

10:04 am

And no doubt that's the most important one of all! As Humpty Dumpty says, It's a matter of who's in charge, us or the words.

10:04 am

:D

10:05 am

po 6 clue please

10:06 am

po6 - bloke with a cooking vessel

10:06 am

Clue for the first sp5?

10:06 am

dude! great clue, ty

10:06 am

Ah, I was going the the wrong third letter. ty so much

10:07 am

Oops, yes, I can make correct sentences, but obviously not always.

10:07 am

My first sp5 - place for a facial plus greeting

10:07 am

compounds. I want them stricken from enable.

10:08 am

that's my first too

10:08 am

Now now, sprite. Let us not be vengeful.

10:08 am

Got it. Ty.

10:09 am

*mumbles something about being able to spell vengeful gives the right to be vengeful*

10:10 am

Oh dear. She's muttering again. Must be the obsquirrelty.

10:10 am

obesesquirreality even

10:10 am

3 more words then I get breakfast

10:11 am

Wow, you are a stern taskmaster, harpjane!

10:11 am

Vengeglorious?

10:11 am

:D

10:12 am

That's a nice word, Judi.

10:12 am

no i'm just addicted to babble more than i want to admit....

10:13 am

Glad you like it. 2nd E optional.

10:14 am

Vengglorious? No, I think that second e is necessary. =)

10:14 am

Afternoon all, how fares the grid this Friday?

10:14 am

Venglorious... nah. Vengeglorious it is

10:14 am

FM!!!!! =D

10:14 am

10:15 am

10:15 am

How good to see you :) are you well and so glad to see you back, I read it was PC probs but hello and hello and I;ll shut up now :)

10:15 am

10:16 am

Hah. Too little too late. =P

10:16 am

10:16 am

10:16 am

10:16 am

10:16 am

10:16 am

10:17 am

Fireworks!

10:17 am

Okay, okay. (((FM)))

10:17 am

He dc too and congrats Judi.

10:17 am

Yay for Judi!

10:17 am

my daughter is riding a monocycle atm. I call it half a bike.

10:17 am

Is a monocycle different from a unicycle?

10:18 am

Or is it, for example, like a bicycle that you can wear in one eye?

10:18 am

no, probably the only difference is that unicycle is the correct word and monocycle a pathetic attempt of a dutch girl to get the meaning across

10:18 am

lol!

10:18 am

lol! =)

10:18 am

;)

10:19 am

the fact that she is riding one has to be applauded though!

10:19 am

Indeed!

10:19 am

Fireworks ... my clue for the day before I leave ... there are a ton of words that end in 'al'.

10:19 am

I was wondering what a monocycle might be. Thought perhaps it was some euro trend that we yanks hadn't heard about yet.

10:19 am

oh yes! And she is GOOD!

10:19 am

gratz Merk

10:20 am

Congrats to Merk

10:20 am

TOG-boy home sick today. *sigh* Must go fix him some lunch so I'm in and out.

10:20 am

Yay for Merk!

10:20 am

ty, all, see you tomorrow

10:20 am

TTFN then Vi and hope TOG is back to glory soon :)

10:20 am

congrats and be well, merk

10:20 am

unicycle, not monocycle

10:21 am

wish him well!

10:21 am

I'm out. See you kids sometime tomorrow!

10:21 am

bye Judi

10:21 am

have fun, judi

10:22 am

I will be back shortly too - having a crap food day and am indulging in a store bought pitza.

10:22 am

enjoy immensely, FM

10:23 am

Thanks for the wishes, all. (He's sitting here reading the chat and trying to find me words while I make a sandwich.)

10:23 am

Yum, pizza!

10:23 am

Pizza is a happy.

10:25 am

OK so I spelt it wrong and I am going to pile on a load of calories for eating it but I dont care!!!! *grin*

10:28 am

*offers FM some ice cream to have with or after her pizza*

10:29 am

LO you devil you - what flavour just out of interest?

10:29 am

*slips in some cookies to go with the ice cream*

10:30 am

perfect! i'm having four front teeth extracted the day before Halloween! What a lovely costume I will have!

10:30 am

Southern Chocolate - imagine the creamiest choc milkshake ever, but frozen

10:30 am

(speaking of ice cream....)

10:31 am

aw harpjane :( Reminds me of a silly RnR Xmas song... "All I want for Xmas is my two front teeth..."

10:31 am

you can wear cowboy clothes and straw in your hair

10:31 am

yup it's my new theme song

10:32 am

' jee oh jee, how happy I would be, if I could only wiffle..."

10:32 am

Oh sprite I was going to type that too! harp - I wish you well!

10:32 am

;) FM... sharing a brainwave, we two

10:32 am

i hope the extrations go well for you, jane

10:33 am

I hope it goes well, harpjane, and with very little pain

10:33 am

dc - I can honestly say I have never had a milkshake in any form so I feel I am missing a taste experience.

10:33 am

really? that is a deprivation FM

10:34 am

Get thee to a creamery!

10:34 am

wow. that's impressive to go so long w/out one.

10:34 am

anyway must return to the kitchen and my 'fast' food. yes really jmc and lol car.

10:34 am

FM, you barbarian!

10:34 am

I am actually sort of excited about it since these particular teeth have been bothering me since 1974! It's been sort of a waiting game to see when they would finally wear out. But being toothless on Haloween, now THAT"s like a dream come true!

10:34 am

LOL jane

10:35 am

you'll get a bridge, i'm guessing?

10:35 am

jane you rock!

10:35 am

and i won't have to buy any of that cheapo fake blood either!

10:35 am

yah, either a bridge or implants. i think it depends on how much my dentist needs for his new boat....

10:36 am

implants are preferred

10:37 am

he'll get a nicer boat that way so that's what he's thinking. It depends on whether I have any decent bone left....

10:38 am

yeah. i need to get 2 molars extracted and a bone graft for my lower left rear. The bone is solid, but partially atrophied due to my ignoring the problem for WAY too long

10:39 am

I'm more worried about the bone graft idea than anything else, my bil had a hard time with his

10:40 am

bone grafts are nasty. Will think of you both.

10:42 am

ty, sprite

10:45 am

huh. i'd never seen that spelling variant of 2nd sw4 before

10:46 am

now if I only knew if my second was your second, grin

10:46 am

there are only 2 sw4 :)

10:47 am

ok! That one reminds of CSI. For DNA.

10:47 am

yep. usually with an A

10:48 am

ah ok. See, sometimes it is an advantage to know little :)

10:49 am

just in to change icon, have been having trouble getting the pics accepted

10:49 am

hi flosey

10:50 am

hi jane,

10:50 am

aw that is so sweet, flosey! thank you :D

10:50 am

does anyone see anything other than my little sweetie

10:50 am

i do flosey

10:50 am

I do, I see a computer

10:50 am

ok, thanks sprite and DC, I'm still seeing William

10:51 am

you know lots, sprite. Here, we see that word in the store - cotton sw5 - A variant

10:51 am

off now, have to do some typing for hubby before I go out for 11: am bridge/lunch

10:51 am

i had to refresh to see the new one, flosey, FYI

10:52 am

bye flosey, enjoy! *hug*

10:52 am

I refreshed a couple of times, turned right off and back on twice, just a strange little quirk I have acquired

10:52 am

njoy, flosey

10:52 am

tks, be back for flip]

10:56 am

can't believe the words I am finding last. I have been pretty blind.

11:01 am

***hi....popping on for a bit***

11:01 am

hi AsG, welcome back

11:01 am

hi all...

11:01 am

tx - lol - from this am? or from my many months away! :)

11:01 am

hey nrkii :)

11:02 am

no, from earlier today :)

11:02 am

saw your note about implants DC... I've put mine off for over 8 years since having two molars extracted... no bone atrophy yet, but I'm really pressing my luck

11:02 am

I was planning to get implants this year, then ended up out of work, so letting it slide more....

11:03 am

I think I have bone atrophy even though I have teeth still. I should post a picture lol!

11:03 am

5 forgotten plurals! Am I out of training or what :(

11:04 am

I'm hoping to get it done next tax year, then I can use my flexible spending medical account. Trouble is, if it doesn't happen, I would be looking for something else to use my medical money on. How many pairs of eyeglasses can one person buy?

11:04 am

Good afternoon all........

11:05 am

94 in, 93 left

11:05 am

hi caitlyn!

11:05 am

11:07 am

Hi seain how are you?

11:07 am

hi dc, it's been ages, no?

11:07 am

I"m trying to figure out if you lose your job in the middle of the year, can you still access the flexible spending stuff. I get different answers each time I ask

11:07 am

I disapparated for awhile - lol

11:07 am

jane, i can easily, after insrance, spend 12-1400 on two pair of bifocals

11:07 am

you are well, asgreen?

11:07 am

things are good, thank you, caitlyn. how are you?

11:08 am

I'm doing great - just got back from a trip to Rwanda - I was working at the village I've been supporting for the past couple of years. An incredible experience.

11:09 am

www.asyv.org and www.race4rwanda.tumblr.com - a little self serving, I know, but it's worth looking at!

11:10 am

I suppose I could get lasix surgery if it came right down to it, or go to mexico for something that wouldn't be covered by my insurance.

11:10 am

ah, dc, sometimes unemployment gives you a chance to take a deep breath and reevaluate.

11:11 am

I will certainly check it out AsGreen ,Im full of admiration

11:11 am

harp, as long as you have a backup plan, you should be good

11:11 am

harp, I think you have the full calendar year to access it regardless... I think....

11:11 am

thanks caitlyn

11:14 am

that's what i think too, I"m going to have my tax guy look at it to be sure

11:15 am

12:31 pm

12:31 pm

12:32 pm

bread, nothing else?

12:32 pm

it was too much trouble to go buy another loaf of bread

12:32 pm

*kicks jmc back outta the chog*

12:32 pm

come back with more food!

12:32 pm

roast beef, swiss and lettuce from my garden

12:32 pm

Wow. Not even a loaves and fishes moment. Just loaves!

12:32 pm

ouch!

12:33 pm

a blackberry soda and a club soda

12:33 pm

are you still getting lettuce? not too late yet?

12:33 pm

over my nose is nearly full white - that part i pluck, and have for years, to avoid monobrow

12:33 pm

sounds lovely, jmc

12:33 pm

unibrow

12:34 pm

kje, we plant lettuce early or late, as it's very, very hot here in summer.

12:34 pm

i will get lettuce until a freeze and sometimes after that

12:34 pm

i think one of my nephews who is 4 already has a unibrow - LOL

12:34 pm

lettuce is a winter crop in Texas

12:34 pm

oh wow, cool

12:35 pm

Strong, defined eyebrows are a sign of good character!

12:35 pm

well, it freezes here

12:35 pm

yes... key word there being eyebrowS soodle

12:35 pm

huh. that's a new one on me, soodle

12:35 pm

lol!

12:35 pm

well, your sandwich beats my lunch, jmc... I am eating popcorn

12:35 pm

yikes kje!

12:36 pm

Or maybe my mother made that up, to stop me (unsucessfully) plucking mine!

12:36 pm

Hello Babblers. How is everyone? How is this grid?

12:36 pm

hi scrabs

12:36 pm

thankfully I love popcorn, and it is easy to pack

12:36 pm

hi scrab - just started, but the 1st 8 were a breeze ; )

12:37 pm

lots of plural three letter words

12:37 pm

I must pluck to prevent unibrow, and I have grey eyebrow hairs in the middle, above nasal bridge.

12:37 pm

my eyebrows are practically invisable

12:37 pm

wow, jmc... you are right - almost entirely 4 and 5 letter words

12:38 pm

my son says he can always tell when something is up because I "put my eyebrows on"

12:38 pm

are there any wo words?

12:38 pm

Mine are thick and dark

12:38 pm

one jm

12:38 pm

12:38 pm

i had ice cream for lunch

12:38 pm

wo4

12:39 pm

12:41 pm

Heaven, Seain!

12:41 pm

12:42 pm

I am so sleepy now, considering a nap

12:42 pm

12:42 pm

Hi Ruru

12:42 pm

LOL! and there is the official opinion

12:42 pm

12:50 pm

12:50 pm

I'm on a conf. call now debriefing about it...but I'll be "here" in about 10 mins

12:50 pm

ah, crap. thanks ruru

12:50 pm

portable computer maybe is better peri

12:51 pm

I got it with your first clue, ruru, should have found it myself

12:51 pm

12:51 pm

I don't believe that last wi word!

12:52 pm

any clues needed?

12:52 pm

btw, who is the really nice lady over in Japan? Ardilla, maybe? has she been around lately?

12:52 pm

Trif, new job is heaven, well almost. Co-workers are kind, supportive, competent and with stable egos--total contrast to prior job setting. But we are crazy busy with H1N1 disease + associated frenzy/anxiety

12:52 pm

Hi Kallia

12:53 pm

congrats, kallia

12:53 pm

i've not seen ardilla in a while

12:53 pm

do you have vaccines available for the h1n1 scrabbler?

12:53 pm

hi scran

12:53 pm

Where did you go, asg?

12:53 pm

scran????scrab

12:53 pm

we received our 1st batch of H1N1 vaccines on Tuesday

12:53 pm

sorry, on a call

12:53 pm

great news re the new job, scrabbs@

12:53 pm

12:53 pm

Heyas kids ..

12:53 pm

scrabbler, asgreen went to rwanda

12:54 pm

ok no clues needed so going to go start dinner

12:54 pm

TORGONE! I am never leaving

12:54 pm

next time all bye

12:54 pm

hi bgh

12:54 pm

Locally I think the vast majority, if not all, school kids have been infected or exposed to H1N1 virus, so the vaccine is too late for this group

12:54 pm

Rwanda? Whoa!

12:54 pm

*sitting in pb for earlier conversation with sprite about computers*

12:54 pm

Hi Une = Torgone

12:55 pm

lol

12:55 pm

hmmm. i wonder if I should try to get my kids vaccinated? I should think it would be hard to find the vaccine at this point

12:55 pm

www.asyv.org http://race4rwanda.tumblr.com - our blog from while we were there

12:55 pm

JM, what did you do?

12:56 pm

great blog - highly recommend

12:56 pm

hi, une and torg

12:56 pm

well we were talking about computers so discussed my la6 at some length!

12:57 pm

hey seain ;-)

12:57 pm

hm. ice cream not what my body wanted. sigh. so will need to make food. weee.

12:57 pm

call is wrapping up...

12:57 pm

too bad dcseain

12:58 pm

the trick with an ice cream wine supper is to eat the ice cream and then drink the wine

12:58 pm

lovely photo, une

12:58 pm

seain, is Tom still making good progress?

12:58 pm

quite so, une

12:58 pm

tx, seain -- I love it too :-)

12:58 pm

so which photo is you asg?

12:58 pm

good to hear!

12:58 pm

she's in the purple blouse

12:58 pm

I'm in purple in the group photos

12:58 pm

Nice site, A!

12:59 pm

green, you've captivated us all!!

12:59 pm

aww, thanks Une!

12:59 pm

great admiration for what you and hubby are doing

1:00 pm

thanks again - seriously

1:00 pm

tx Scrabb!

1:00 pm

At my previous practice I cared for a family from the Rwanda/Burundi area. The father escaped 9 yrs ago, mother 7, with now 2 little kids. They finally felt it was safe to visit remaining family this past spring. Their eyes reveal sadness yet they smile and express such gratitude.

1:01 pm

incredible inner strength

1:02 pm

Scrabs, it's amazing - the HOPE they convey. So different than Americans recovering from tragedy (sweeping generalization (sp?) ....)

1:02 pm

I have gotten a splash of life in Rwanda/Burundi as the Quaker Peace Maker teams come back and forth -- imagine sitting down with your torturer!

1:02 pm

I know jmc, unreal right?

1:03 pm

or your family's killers

1:03 pm

wow, serioulsy jmc? that sounds amazing. have you gotten to sit in on some of the sessions?

1:03 pm

trif, PBS had a documentary about it recently -- hard to imagine

1:04 pm

actually, une (imagine this next sentence in the wriest tone you can imagine) I have now been to several four-way lawyer meetings, so I think maybe I can imagine it....

1:04 pm

Yes, asg, such gratitude for being alive, for having a job, for having a place to live.

1:05 pm

trif LOL!! Sorry, you CAN imagine!

1:05 pm

:) une

1:05 pm

some of the stories are really chilling

1:05 pm

there was a woman in the PBS documentary who sat down and talked with her nextdoor neighbor who had killed her family . . .

1:06 pm

man, I am going to have to search for this documentary. I want to see how they coped

1:06 pm

was the neighbor sorry? was the woman able to process the neighbor's feelings? it is almost beyond the scope to imagine such a metting

1:06 pm

meeting

1:06 pm

a f(F)riend of mine just came back after spending some time there with the story of the woman who carried her husbands head around since she had married outside of her tribe and they came and cut his head off in front of here and her children

1:07 pm

the neighbor was mostly 'embarassed" -- she was able to forgive him -- can't imagine how

1:07 pm

there is a whole program of reconciliation where this is happening a bit at a time

1:07 pm

oh, jmc.....there are no words, are there?

1:07 pm

there is a lot of back work done with both sides long before they meet

1:08 pm

It's a shame to say it, but these poor souls are so used to tragedy and torture... they have never known peace.

1:08 pm

It's a shame to say it, but these poor souls are so used to tragedy and torture... they have never known peace.

1:08 pm

Hi mom2

1:09 pm

http://www.aglionline.org/

1:09 pm

Hi Scrabbs... and all the rest!

1:09 pm

hi mom

1:09 pm

the only even remotely close knowledge I have in such matters comes via a friend who adopted two children from India, one who was in an orphange since infancy, and then, a few years later, another girl who had lived on the street for a while.

1:09 pm

My computer is sooooo slow... ugh!

1:09 pm

asgreen I think you are doing wonderful work! thank you.

1:10 pm

I was on the board of aglion for a short while but its meetings always conflicted with my organizations board meetings so i quit

1:10 pm

the first girl acclimated to the family without a hiccup, but the second girl was a whole different matter. She just could not understand that she was safe now - she took food out of the fridge and kept it in her shoes, hidden under beds, beat up the older girl for toys, even though there was plenty for both, etc. Poor little mite, she had just no concept of peace. Took YEARS of very loving work

1:11 pm

ok, I'm off my call. oh, thanks jmc - that's nice to hear. It's incredibly rewarding work too - they really soaked up any help we could offer them (in terms of training, etc.)

1:11 pm

thanks so much for sharing the blog, asgreen!

1:12 pm

and so which smiling woman in the photos are you asgreen? the color of shirt is sufficient

1:12 pm

I'm glad you all are so interested in reading it Tri. Of course, at the asyv.org site there are ways to help/donate etc. I won't know either way (I'm just a volunteer), so no pressure. Just letting you guys know about it

1:12 pm

I'm in purple

1:15 pm

and, btw, that blog has pages and pages of prior teams from my husband's company of people who have gone - so you can trace the progression fom over the past year. This is his company's (Liquidnet - an investment bank of sorts) primary philanthropy

1:17 pm

uh oh, I silenced the group! :)

1:18 pm

well, mid-afteroon grid time is quieter than other times

1:18 pm

you didn't silence moi -- I was just off reading the blog!

1:18 pm

nah, they are all just enchanted by that amazing blog!

1:18 pm

whereas I sit here trying to find words from letters I have already greyed....sigh

1:18 pm

I am missing, amongst other things, 2 a's - i have al 5, al 4, an 4, ap 4x2, and at 4. what type am i missing please?

1:41 pm

I am back after typing a letter. I also called the office and, as I am the on call doc, I have to go in to see overflow appts if needed, and it is needed! We are swamped with sick kids!

1:41 pm

tic tic tic - count down for green. ;-0

1:41 pm

hey scrabs!

1:41 pm

an5.12 & another at4

1:42 pm

an5/12

1:42 pm

poor scrabs

1:42 pm

ty lynxx

1:42 pm

hi Scrabs and bye

1:42 pm

I am a bit miffed actually as it is my day off, but I am on call and must fulfill my on call responsibilities.

1:43 pm

you leaving lynxx?

1:43 pm

11 to go, all s words

1:43 pm

Just saying goodbye to Scrabs

1:43 pm

oh - lol - sorry

1:44 pm

I have to start in the office at 4:30--just under 2 hrs from now.

1:44 pm

Scrabbs, are you leaving - was going to ask your opinion about the h1n1 vaccine. I'm avoiding it for me and the fam.....thoguths?

1:44 pm

Go asg go!

1:45 pm

jeez - those a's shouldn't have taken me this long. wowsa

1:46 pm

Why avoid it? Seaonal flu vaccine is new every year--3 strains every year, changing year to year, and H1N1 disease appeared on scene AFTER decision was set for '09-'10 seasonal vaccine, thus a second flu vaccine, with just H1N1 strain is needed. Same manufacturers. nothing "new" about it at all. It's just that 4 strains are being covered this year.

1:47 pm

aacckk, finally tore myself away from Bananagrams on Facebook!

1:47 pm

Bananagrams???

1:47 pm

I will check that out, Une.

1:47 pm

banana grams? is this another game?

1:47 pm

hi une. ;-)

1:47 pm

hi Une

1:47 pm

any chance to boost one's immune system (army) is a good idea.

1:47 pm

very addictive! like Scrabble and others of its ilk :-)

1:48 pm

hey, lynxxx and wolvie :-)

1:48 pm

oh no. I just started lex. lol

1:48 pm

any reason to have flu jab / swine jab after just having flu? *adds to quick fire questions*!

1:48 pm

Does that make sense, asg?

1:48 pm

hmmm, I'm not a big believer in the flu shot as it is. We got them this year as a precautionary prior to our travel, but overall, I'd prefer not to get 'em. And then I read something about these 28 pregnant women who died after getting the h1n1....

1:48 pm

You are probably immune to H1N1 noew, Ata.

1:49 pm

I also heard that the actual h1n1 virus really isn't so bad if you do catch it. I don't know....

1:49 pm

I thought that would be the case. TY!

1:49 pm

it can be, ASG

1:50 pm

8 to go, btw, all st words

1:50 pm

My perspective has changed over the last several yrs and I do now get my flu vaccine every year. Flu is typically not life-threatening but it predisposes one to secondary bacterial complications that can be fatal.

1:50 pm

don't know whether it was flu or swine flu, but I was about 0.0005% away from phoning an ambulance cos I couldn't breathe - but I have asthma on top of flu

1:50 pm

Most people with H1N1 disease have mild-moderate symptoms and it is milder than what is seen with seasonal flu.

1:51 pm

oh wow ata - glad you recovered without intervention, but that must have been scary

1:51 pm

Asthm placed you at risk, Ata.

1:51 pm

yes ... for one night I was really quite worried!

1:52 pm

Again, I think that an opportunity to build up one's army against the bad guys is a very good thing.

1:52 pm

glad you are ok Ata; and still not sure Scrabbs! :)

1:52 pm

www.cdc.gov or www.who.int = top references

1:53 pm

I actually to start with thought I had food poisoning - I spent all night on the loo dying, with an asthma attack on top of that. Then just didn't get better, and started all the classic symptoms of flu. Took me about 7 days to feel any better, even with tamiflu

1:53 pm

I think the sn5/6/7 are made up words, lol

1:53 pm

and now, nerly 2 weeks later I still feel pretty much like crap

1:53 pm

i need one o - i have ob 4 - what is the other?

1:53 pm

(just saying randomly what flu here was like!)

1:54 pm

It is a gamble, asg. The way I see it is I would not regret getting the seasonal/H1N1 vaccines but I could regret NOT getting them.

1:54 pm

really ata? still feeling unwell? Maybe you should go round to a doc just for a check

1:54 pm

Glad you are nearly OK Ata, you sound like an advertisement for getting the shot.

1:54 pm

I was feeling better! then today I just started shivering and temperature again. Gah!!

1:54 pm

fireworks for me...yay! fun to be back in babbleland!

1:55 pm

ty for those asg - as soon as you posted that - i remembered those words

1:55 pm

WTG AsG

1:55 pm

yahoo asg!!

1:55 pm

Wolvie - ow4.8

1:55 pm

doc for you ata!!

1:55 pm

Congrats AsGreen

1:55 pm

Ata, you might have secondary pneumonia--get yourself to a doc!

1:56 pm

I know scrabbs, usually I'm very logical about this sort of thing, but for some reason, every year, I get more philosophical and "gut feeling"-ish about the flu shot...lol (no pun intended)

1:56 pm

ty lynxx

1:56 pm

be told Ata!

1:57 pm

the o's are oa4, oa4, ob4, ow4

1:57 pm

Hype from emotional/non-scientific anti-vaccine folks allows emotions to cloud reason.

1:57 pm

ooooh, and look at the time - time to go meet the kiddos! See you guys later. Great catching up w/y'all - and thanks for letting me share my adventures w/you!

1:57 pm

bye AsG

1:58 pm

Bye asg, ty for O clues

1:58 pm

I know Scrabb - but clouded it is! lol

1:58 pm

seeya AsG

1:58 pm

bye! ****poof***

1:58 pm

What are the sneaky sn words? I have sn4 x2

1:59 pm

sn first vowel, **en 2 consonsonants, then add another vowel for the 6, THen plural for the 7. :-)

1:59 pm

luckily I have a blood test booked on monday, so will ask nurse then and she'll get me an appt if necessary :)

2:00 pm

very good ata - smart

2:01 pm

got too much to do to have pneumonia! that hurts!

2:01 pm

could be the "walking" kind - just (ahem) bogs you down

2:01 pm

bloody bogs lol

2:02 pm

couldn't resist

2:02 pm

TY, wolvie!

2:02 pm

Ata, if you get worse in the next 1-2 days promise me you will get evaluated before Monday!

2:02 pm

good scrabs - i was afraid it would not make sense, lol

2:03 pm

oh I will, don't worry!

2:03 pm

cool beans ata

2:03 pm

I'm very very alert with anything to do with lungs. Comes from yesras of asthma hospitalisation!

2:04 pm

I bet you are - asthma, from a nonsufferers's prospective, is frightening enough. From you view, it can only be worse

2:05 pm

I dont' really have problems, I'm very lucky. I don't have exercise-related asthma, just pollution-related problems. So as long as the air is clear, I'm fine. Every harvest season - nightmare!

2:06 pm

well - that is something at least. :-)

2:07 pm

yay! g's done

2:07 pm

Ok, I am going to shower and get ready for on call office work starting in 90 minutes.

2:07 pm

oh yes, could be amillion times worse!

2:08 pm

bye scrabs - nice seeing you

2:12 pm

good grief, portable computer is in the grid.

2:12 pm

ahh, i love having long, late lunches. especially when the parents pay. :)

2:21 pm

Ata when would I need to decide about Napal?

2:21 pm

hi Katie

2:22 pm

next yearish :)

2:22 pm

not for a good while, the only advantage of signing up sooner is more time to get sponsorshop

2:22 pm

*ship!!

2:23 pm

Ok so it's you and Liz signed up so far?

2:24 pm

I haven't signed up yet, but I'm definitely going to

2:24 pm

Liz has signed up

2:27 pm

ok so I have time to decide if I could raise so much

2:27 pm

oh yes, loads of time

2:28 pm

were all having angst about raising the money!

2:28 pm

how much do you have to raise?

2:28 pm

£3000 each lol

2:28 pm

£3000

2:28 pm

whoa. a princely sum

2:29 pm

but a year and a half to do it in!

2:29 pm

ah. well - that certainly helps. This is like the jump, yes? Can US residents donate?

2:29 pm

oh yes, everyone can :D

2:30 pm

cool - i signed up as a fan on liz's site - i will check it out

2:30 pm

or link on facebook i should say

2:30 pm

but sponsor me not LIz :P LMAO

2:31 pm

maybe both - how will that be?

2:31 pm

excuse me!!!!!!!! I brought the subject up lol

2:31 pm

;-0

2:31 pm

perfect :)

2:31 pm

careful Wolvie this could be expensive

2:31 pm

and Katie!!

2:31 pm

no no - you've got a year, and this poor yank has to split amongst you guys. :-)

2:32 pm

do you sponsor a trek of so many miles or something?

2:32 pm

I just did a bike ride for ms here in the states not long ago

2:33 pm

its a week trek in Nepal. eeee!

2:33 pm

go you Wolvie! MS is a very important thing

2:33 pm

wow. a week trek

2:33 pm

yes - my sister has it, so I am very familiar with it

2:34 pm

my best friend hasit

2:34 pm

we do the diabetes walk too - and cancer. All great causes

2:35 pm

my sister is lucky - she has the remission type - she takes a daily injection to help her out - she does quite well.

2:35 pm

wonderful! you're amazing :)

2:35 pm

interferon or the copaxone?

2:35 pm

here in the states, if she should lose her job, she could not be insured. this stuff costs much moola too

2:35 pm

she does copaxone -

2:35 pm

does it ever!

2:36 pm

we were just talking about ms at work today one of our work partners has it and it is the aggressive type so he has had to give up work at 45. It's so sad he has 4 children

2:36 pm

best friend too ... though she's thinking of changing cos she's getting weirdo side effects now

2:36 pm

the interferon gave her incredible emotional swings. She has been on the copax for around 18 years

2:36 pm

that's awful :(

2:36 pm

things like this does prove the value of the NHS

2:36 pm

18 years!!!!!!

2:36 pm

wow!!

2:36 pm

Pat is very stable on the copax - in fact, her last mri showed improvement

2:36 pm

ayla's been on it for a few years now. but she's started to get huge hot flushes and dizziness after injection

2:37 pm

she was diagnosed in 88 - one year or so on interferon/betaseron, then copax

2:38 pm

wow. Pat had those problems with the other. There is a new med out now too I think. I will have to ask Pat tonite - we go out for a ladies drink nite on fridays. :-)

2:38 pm

did I tell you we have a sponsor child in Haiti now?

2:38 pm

oh wonderful! if you could ....

2:38 pm

no!!!

2:38 pm

yes katie - i wish we had some form of basic NHS

2:38 pm

no! how cool.

2:38 pm

I will ata - i'll facebook you on it. :-)

2:39 pm

thank you! thank you!

2:39 pm

brb quickly desperate for snacks. pah. bad bad me. don't care!

2:39 pm

okay - i have 3 left and just listed. clue for the po 6 please?

2:39 pm

the week I got the promotion I went to church and there was info on children so we decided to spread the good fortune, i'm very excited about it

2:40 pm

your welcome ata - Pat is part of some international study group so she gets info up to date

2:40 pm

I will have to look into that katie - is it thru your church then?

2:40 pm

po6 - bloke with a cooking vessel

2:41 pm

ty vic! and hello

2:41 pm

it's through an organisation called compassion which is a Christian organisation but helps all faiths

2:41 pm

Hello, all!

2:41 pm

i got the computer, you would think i would see that combo. lol

2:41 pm

okay katie - i will look for it

2:42 pm

we both (sis and I ) did that a couple of years ago - then got afraid of how our monies were actually being spent - heard all kinds of bad things.. been looking for a reliable org

2:42 pm

back, that was quick :) take that weightwatchers

2:43 pm

lol ata

2:43 pm

lol ata

2:43 pm

fireworks

2:43 pm

Wolvie we had exactly the same experience that's why I was so pleased to find compassion. They also let you send gifts but they are cash and limited which I think is a good thing

2:44 pm

can you believe it? my last word was the eo 4. LOL

2:44 pm

it is expensive though as it costs £21 per month

2:44 pm

why Haiti?

2:44 pm

good to know katie

2:44 pm

so roughly 42 bucks a mo***? not bad really.

2:44 pm

hey mom - watching this?

2:45 pm

lol - thanks for the mo5

2:45 pm

VIIIII!!!!III!!!I!!!1111!!!

2:45 pm

sure vic. ;-)

2:45 pm

you could chose a country and Olden was 3 1/2 which I thought was a good age and Haiti is next to the dominican republic which we have been to but is much poorer with less opportunity for the children

2:45 pm

any clues before i head out for the day?

2:45 pm

I wondered if it had to do with the D. R.

2:46 pm

Ataaaaaaaa!

2:46 pm

46 of them please :0

2:46 pm

no thanks wolvie you have a good day :-)

2:46 pm

2:54 pm

I'm off to get some food, see you all later

3:01 pm

3:01 pm

you should have seen this banana cake creation. OMG.

3:03 pm

have never been fond of banana cake

3:04 pm

No wonder you were arguing against it, jacq! the truth comes out!

3:04 pm

"banana cake with guinness ice cream and salty walnuts"

3:05 pm

it looked - well- good enough to eat!

3:05 pm

LOL ok ok ok i am anti-banana cake i confess

3:05 pm

Guinness ice cream? Yikes - all of a sudden I'm thinking "Why eat those disgusting empty calories."

3:05 pm

aha! the truth comes out :)

3:05 pm

yeah, just like Vi said *oops*

3:06 pm

LOL Vi

3:06 pm

I could eat anything remotely associated with banoffee

3:06 pm

;)

3:07 pm

banoffe?

3:07 pm

??????????

3:07 pm

banana and toffee sauce mmmmmmmmm

3:07 pm

that sounds tasty if mightily sweet!

3:08 pm

bannoffe is the BEST

3:08 pm

its just the best

3:08 pm

3:08 pm

So it's pretty good then?

3:09 pm

3:11 pm

Ive been on a mission to convert the US babblers to bannoffee for years

3:12 pm

ata have to seen the toffee condensed milk?

3:12 pm

yes! not tried it though

3:12 pm

have you?

3:13 pm

we make cullen skink and we use unsweetened condensed milk in it, and my daughter made her fiorst ever pot of it and she bought the toffee milk by mistake, the soup was awful lol

3:13 pm

looooooooooool I bet!!!

3:14 pm

that's like my husband buying vegetable Philadelphia for a cheesecake

3:14 pm

i haven't tried the stuff on a desert yet, but was thinking about making millionaires shortbread this weekend just to try it

3:14 pm

lol my daughter did that too phili and garlic LOL

3:14 pm

oooo I think you should. for scientic study, of course

3:15 pm

of course, i will let you know how it went

3:15 pm

i think the banoffee is too sweet for my occasional lapses on the no sugar in my diet

3:16 pm

probably jmc, it is really really sweet

3:16 pm

if you make it with a very plain base, not sugary, it kinda balances out

3:16 pm

:-)

3:16 pm

you could try it with a cheesecake base

3:17 pm

*dies* from have I got news for you: a brothel in Holland is offering a 5 euro discount for clients who arrive on a bicycle. to get the discount they have to present their helmet at the desk *sporfles*

3:17 pm

*tires of all this nonsense about toffee and dives into a huge vat of dark chocolate*

3:18 pm

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

3:18 pm

hmmm a green brothel

3:18 pm

their helmet huh????

3:18 pm

lol, Ata. WHy shouldn't Johns be environmentally conscious, too?

3:18 pm

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

3:18 pm

not that helmet! *looks shocked*

3:18 pm

but it takes years for their condoms to biodegrade

3:18 pm

*laughs madly*

3:18 pm

lol jmc

3:19 pm

A courtesy from one a$$ peddler to another?

3:19 pm

are they trying to offset their carbon footprint, or tyretrack?

3:19 pm

lol tor

3:19 pm

trying to balance out their carbon footprint for the condoms

3:20 pm

Now if only the brothel could collect the used condoms to recycle into bicycle tires.

3:20 pm

ewwwwwwwwwwwww

3:20 pm

ick I would never use a bicycle again

3:21 pm

lol, It's not like they'd still be recognizeable!

3:21 pm

3:21 pm

I love Have I got News for you

3:21 pm

3:21 pm

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

3:21 pm

3:22 pm

The Sun on a doggy painter - gnasshional gallery, grrrrenoir, sandro bottysmelly, pawcasso

3:22 pm

3:23 pm

3:23 pm

"and the tour de france this year is sponsored by Durex, suppliers of all the recycled tyres"

3:23 pm

3:23 pm

fi4/7 - what you shake at your nemesis

3:23 pm

fi4/7ing - happens in brothels LMAO

3:23 pm

3:23 pm

LOL

3:24 pm

And Ata manages to bring the tone of chat down still further...

3:24 pm

oops.. vicuna has the right one..sorry

3:24 pm

I try :)

3:24 pm

I blame FM

3:24 pm

LOL

3:24 pm

But of course you do. Who else?

3:24 pm

3:25 pm

LMAO. I guess that should be Haz really

3:25 pm

Iknow all about what happens in brothels

3:26 pm

3:26 pm

LOL

3:26 pm

i heard they play patty cake all day

3:26 pm

Let me guess. Sex?

3:26 pm

that what your daddy said?

3:26 pm

my godsister was in a play last year based on a brothel, all the dialogue was actual dialogue from the prostitutes. It was quite amazing

3:26 pm

and i heard that they group the used thingies for recycling, in fact they are so busy they haven't time to actually use said thingies

3:27 pm

lol, jmc.

3:27 pm

that is actually pretty good news jac

3:27 pm

There, jacq. If they recycled UNused condoms would you be able to ride the bikes?

3:27 pm

i agree jmc, but at that rate durex will never sponsor the tour de france

3:28 pm

I would ride them but it looses some the green if you recycle an unused product

3:28 pm

maybe the tour de britain

3:28 pm

LOLOLOLOLOLOL really jmc?

3:28 pm

I suppose they could call it preconsumer waste

3:28 pm

Sheesh, jmc. Some people find a reason to complain about everything! lol

3:29 pm

i am in a crabby mood and will apologize to no one for it

3:29 pm

awwwww *hugs jmc*

3:29 pm

That's the spirit!

3:30 pm

you go jmc, we all have crabby days (avoids the snapping claws those pincers can hurt!!)

3:30 pm

I just sent out to the mailers a big mailing and then the postal carrier came in with 368 changes of addresses

3:30 pm

(Oh, I guess the right response was sympathy and not encouragement? My social skills are a little weak.)

3:31 pm

this has not been a good week at all!

3:31 pm

ouch

3:31 pm

Oh, that's way beyond annoying, jmc. (belated hugs)

3:31 pm

vic your comment was just fine!

3:31 pm

passes a pile of used and as yet unrecycled condoms for inclusion with the thank you notes for those addressees

3:31 pm

between the messed up data base, the creditor calls and now this I am ready to throw the whole mess out the window

3:32 pm

lol jac I will pass on that

3:32 pm

I'm sure nobody'll wonder about that, jacq.

3:32 pm

You could label them "make love not war."

3:32 pm

can you defenestrate a mailing list?

3:32 pm

they might just think that jmc is happy at work

3:32 pm

*spreads thick ma4 beneath jmc's windows, just in case*

3:33 pm

hi everyone - just popping in for a few minutes - jmc -I"m so sorry!

3:33 pm

3:35 pm

3:41 pm

wtg soodle

3:41 pm

Changed my icon for today :)

3:41 pm

whoo hoo soodle

3:41 pm

Yeah, jmc. But there's the internet for you. Kids need to be supervised first and then taught to deal.

3:41 pm

Nonsense, jacq. He's fine!

3:42 pm

is that a word in the grid kris??

3:42 pm

Yay for Soodlebum!

3:45 pm

Hello, beachboggle.

3:45 pm

hi leen

3:46 pm

You all are so very kind to the dear boy. =D

3:46 pm

oooh a Welsh girl :)

3:46 pm

hi janus

3:47 pm

hello everyone

3:47 pm

hi janus

3:47 pm

Hello, janus.

Hi Janus

3:47 pm

fibs

3:48 pm

oh crap- wrong window - pb for me

3:48 pm

Who you callin' a liar, Kris?

3:49 pm

totally changing the subject - Vi, have you ever tried doing any Escher type prints?

3:49 pm

No, I haven't got the technical skill for that kind of detail, alas. Why?

3:49 pm

I am ....

3:49 pm

LOL

3:50 pm

Etchings, or drawings?

3:50 pm

drawings. thats hard enough!!!

3:50 pm

I'm being quite amazed at how it twiddles your mind

3:50 pm

Yeah, I would think so! But I have fooled around with tesselations some.

3:51 pm

fun, though, isn't it? I'm trying to do a tessellation of "angels and demons"

3:51 pm

That should be cool. How's it coming?

3:52 pm

very very slowly LOL. I just pulled it out again, hence the question

3:52 pm

the angels are easy, trying to con the devils into fitting is harder

3:53 pm

The one trick I've played with is taking a base shape, like rectangle, and then if you cut bits out and attach them back on somewhere else around the edge, no matter how complicated your shape it will always tesselate.

3:53 pm

I'm trying that ... sort of ... but just drawing it out. I'm going to have very strange shaped devils :D

3:54 pm

Well, devils are warped, right?

3:54 pm

that's my theory :P

3:54 pm

I'll let you know how it goes

3:54 pm

=)

3:55 pm

I want to see a picture at some point.

3:55 pm

Im quite mad

3:55 pm

well hello, lady audley

3:55 pm

oh sure!

3:55 pm

I'm doing rooster and chicken next, with fancy borders, and all sorts of doodley patterns to make up the feathers.

3:56 pm

Well, yes, but it's all part of your ineffable charm.

3:56 pm

I'm trying to decide at the moment whether to go to the extra effort to try and make each angel and demon different, giving one a sword for Michael, one a key for Uriel etc etc

3:56 pm

Hello, hurshy!

3:56 pm

hi smurshy!

3:56 pm

hiya

3:56 pm

Oh, that would be very cool, Ata!

3:57 pm

hi hurshy

3:57 pm

marty's trying to decide whether to stay on my lap or go see the shower.

3:57 pm

it would ... again, the angels are easy, trying to do the same for the devils is harder!

3:57 pm

hi smarty marty!

3:57 pm

Decisions decisions.

3:59 pm

yay !new Sily pic!

4:00 pm

Oh, pretty eyes.

4:00 pm

4:18 pm

I'm okay, FMitch...Life has it's moments!

4:19 pm

I was just popping in to check on the word count and saw you all...

4:19 pm

Oh yes, it certainly does Jellen, hows Tim?

4:19 pm

good to see you :)

4:21 pm

Tim had a recurrence of the cancer and had it surgically removed...we're to see a new specialist Nov. 10th to go over test results and get a new plan of action...

4:22 pm

Oh for heavens sake! Good wishes to both of you!

4:22 pm

i will think positive thoughts for Tim jellen, for all of you

4:23 pm

We're a little stressed over that, but trying to keep positive...

4:23 pm

I do have some astounding news, though...

4:24 pm

oooo!

4:24 pm

Tim taught me how to play poker, and I've been playing in casinos for a few months now...

4:24 pm

and .....

4:25 pm

About 10 days ago, I won the Bad Beat jackpot at the casino where we play...$84,000!

4:25 pm

WOW!!

4:25 pm

WOW

4:25 pm

woohoo!!! congratulations!

4:25 pm

wow!!!! that will treat you to a nice break from worry about bills

4:25 pm

OMG!

4:25 pm

42000 is some pocket money

4:26 pm

(breaks out loan papers for jellen)

4:26 pm

(after taxes)

4:26 pm

half of it is in taxes??????

4:26 pm

YAA FOR JELLEN!!!!

4:26 pm

Noted, jmc! (already talked to my accountant)

4:26 pm

how wonderful!!!

4:26 pm

jmc practical to the end!

4:27 pm

do you have to declare it?

4:27 pm

about at that level (i will go look)

4:27 pm

oh yes the casino has to file a report on it

4:27 pm

Oh yes, jacq...the casino files it with the IRS

4:27 pm

hope you saved all the receipts from when you lost so you can deduct them

4:28 pm

wow, still it will go some way to ease the financial issues that come with Tim's illness

4:28 pm

*digging through papaers to find tax book*

4:28 pm

(((crossy))) and hello ruru and wild

4:28 pm

heya crossy

4:28 pm

hi hi

4:28 pm

Of course I didn't save receipts...but I can get win/loss statements from the casinos...

4:28 pm

here we get it all:))))

4:28 pm

can you offset those against the taxes?

4:29 pm

howdy fm((()))

4:29 pm

jellen go to canada and try again

4:29 pm

Yes, jacq

4:29 pm

BRB got to make a cup of tea

4:29 pm

lol, jacq!

4:30 pm

i'm glad you have some good happenings to ease the stress a little, and i am already thinking positive thoughts

4:30 pm

ooo not bad at all the taxes will be about 17,885

4:31 pm

not too shabby for the govt, but better than expected

4:31 pm

in the us you can off set gambling loses only against wins and you must have a receipt

4:31 pm

That's presuming no other income though, right, jmc?

4:31 pm

maybe the win/loss records from the casino will work I am not too familiar with real casinos

4:32 pm

yes that is right jellen but it does give you a ball park to know how much you can safely blow

4:33 pm

but that is only the federal take, ok will want its share too

4:33 pm

I'm blowing just a bit at a time...my totally frivolous purchase was a Pandora bracelet with a money bag charm...

4:33 pm

nice jell

4:33 pm

Last time I was in a casino it was New Years Eve and I was in Vienna, Austria (a million life limes ago or so it feels) :)

4:34 pm

i have only walked through casinos -- i have an aversion to the ma4 of casinos

4:34 pm

Then we're getting a nice doghouse built for my 15 year old Molly...and a patio with a pergola...

4:34 pm

i'd rather gamble on stock

4:35 pm

in the states can you invest lottery winning into a fund and defray the taxes?

4:35 pm

th4 sounds like a good use of the money

4:35 pm

rrsp? gic,s?

4:35 pm

awwwww lucky Molly!

4:35 pm

i am not aware of th4 crossy but what do I know?

4:35 pm

I just don't gamble - period - am useless at it but do enjoy a good game of Blackjack.

4:35 pm

rrsp?????

4:36 pm

best tough base with a finanical consultant

4:36 pm

registered retirement savings plans

4:36 pm

hmmm brb

4:37 pm

lol nor me FM

4:37 pm

I will, crossy...also giving a chunk to my church and selected charities...

4:37 pm

then you only pay taxes on what you withdrawl at the time,not all at once

4:37 pm

never knew you'd get tax advice here, did you!

4:37 pm

yes inded charities and church are all good,and tax deductable

4:37 pm

Just been reminded by a chap on the TV that our clocks go back an hour this weekend, Winter is definately on its way :(

4:38 pm

I never gambled until I met Tim, but I think poker is more game than gamble...

4:38 pm

no those are only in canada

4:38 pm

oh god it's already dark at 6pm

4:38 pm

urf

4:38 pm

but you could put some in a ROTH IRA or regular IRA and protect the remaining growth

4:39 pm

Never know where a conversation is going to head, Ata...that's what makes Babble chat so interesting...

4:39 pm

5:19 pm

she just wants to meet sily

5:20 pm

GOOD. GOOOOD *even bigger font*

5:20 pm

ooh ! where, fm?

5:20 pm

Oh on which point - quick poll of babblers - where would you go if you could go anywhere for Christmas?

5:21 pm

Egypt if one didn't mind heat

5:21 pm

and yes I want to meet Sily and kidnap her along with Hobbit of course :)

5:21 pm

just got jmc's clue - woohoo! (tired today)

5:21 pm

i would almost always go to paris anytime i could.... but there is something to be said for nice warm tropical beaches in the winter. still if i had my choice i think i'd try paris for noel and a beach in february

5:21 pm

orrrrrrrr New Zealand or Aus or any small tropical island or South Africa

5:22 pm

here with Bry, Mum & Dad, but if I went away again the only place I would go would be to Canada to see Diem and Mrs Diem

5:22 pm

i'd like to go to egypt... somehow i think there might be a bit less of the christmas spirit there than elsewhere

5:22 pm

it's not very christmassy there, but it's really lovely

5:23 pm

beautiful silverclaw picture ata.

5:23 pm

TY TY :) she's such a darling

5:23 pm

if I wanted to escape the whole Christmas thing I would go on a safari

5:24 pm

she does look a lot like my lucy, but lucy is no darling.

5:24 pm

Sorry - just got distracted as Jonathon Ross just took his trousers off on TV! mind is boggling.

5:24 pm

loooooooooool

5:24 pm

sily is generally a very unassuming little kitty

5:25 pm

she has her moments though

5:25 pm

lucy has never forgiven me for getting my second cat.... she just hates him and growls at him and is quite aggressive... she's getting old now, and he could beat her if he wanted, and i think she knows it... spends a lot of time outside, but comes in daily to eat, drink and hiss at him

5:25 pm

Thank you everyone.

5:36 pm

Dorens you have changed yr icon - a beautfuuuuuuul pic

5:36 pm

Hey zooz

I am still yet to snuffle an ugly duckling Ata

5:37 pm

Hello, FM

5:37 pm

thanks fm.. wondering if ata sees the likeness?

Dorens your kiittty kitty is so cute

5:37 pm

oh really???! next time I find one I'll publish it with instructions for you to take only

5:37 pm

oh I do I do!

5:37 pm

same eyes

5:37 pm

ty herin... most are though, yes?

5:38 pm

same coloring too. that nice browny kind of grey- a thoroughly agreeable look, to my taste

5:39 pm

Sily has quite amazing colouring - a mix of her mum and dad - she has these tiny stripes going down along her sides, then huge thick stripes on her legs, and spots on her tummy :)

5:39 pm

I love tabbies

Thank you Ata

5:40 pm

lucy's tummy is that nice soft brown color... Baby is a tabby too, but without the brown color... white belly, white throat, and very cute but yellow eyes rather than green. i have always had tabbies, save one all grey cat with gorgeous green eyes

5:40 pm

tabbies are the best ::)

hello, all!

5:41 pm

i do think so.... my sister has this very funny looking calico... i just can't quite see her as beautiful.. just funny

5:41 pm

5:45 pm

5:45 pm

and the babe is just plain silly

5:45 pm

I bet you're glad to be home, TO

5:45 pm

8:41 pm

are they friends too?

8:42 pm

stumped on the to5/6 and the bo7

8:42 pm

bo 7 is a town where the tea party happened

8:43 pm

that's bo6, isn't it?

8:43 pm

pl it

8:44 pm

bo6 is where the Tea Party happened and to7 is the plural.

8:44 pm

ahah was using the wrong tile for the first!

8:44 pm

to5 and plural 6 = to + 'male'.

8:44 pm

Meant bo7 is the plural. Sorry!

8:44 pm

whoo hoo thanks jmc & jac & all cluers, that's firewords!

8:45 pm

whoo hoo dan!

8:45 pm

I will talk sense mostly, but you may have to hunt for it.

8:45 pm

....and I am back! Norwell won the Homecoming game! WHEEEE

8:45 pm

Well done, Dan.

8:45 pm

jacula! haven't seen you for ages girl! howdy!

8:46 pm

whoo hoo trif

8:46 pm

Trif - if that's sport related, I've no idea (and no interest). Sorry!

8:46 pm

it's okay jacula - it's still good to see you!

8:47 pm

LOL, you too, Trif.

8:47 pm

how's all at your house? 14 year old settling in okay still? I was thinking of you the other day, and wondering how it's all going....

8:48 pm

Trif, you'll have to send me an e-mail address so I can invite you to my private blog wwhere you will see how things are going.

8:49 pm

trifioso@comcast.net email away!

8:49 pm

Are you member of Facebook, Trif?

8:49 pm

houseguest back bbl

8:49 pm

yes, but embarrassingly enough, I friended a bunch of babble friends, but now I forget who goes with what real name, so most of my connections there are all but useless....

8:49 pm

hi all . just read back in the chat.. jac you are good!

8:49 pm

(((Scarlet)))

8:52 pm

I've invited you, Trif, but it's taking ages over sending it.

8:52 pm

scarlet? where?

8:52 pm

It's done now, Trif.

Hi, just popping in to say 'hi'!

8:52 pm

hi lind

8:53 pm

Hi Lindrick.

8:53 pm

hey there lindrick@

8:54 pm

Dorens - what did I do??

8:55 pm

po6?

8:57 pm

Someone asked me earlier (yesterday now, via e-mail) if I was really going to attend JC's gig in Devon. Well, let's see, I wasn't offerd a back stage pass or even a free tickt. I was just trying to establish if he was the real thing or not. I go no response either way.

8:57 pm

taking step and her cousin on holiday? nice.

8:58 pm

po6 is a British barman, or po* what you put a plant intoo + a male.

8:58 pm

what is he doing in Devon?

8:58 pm

Thank you Jacula!!

8:59 pm

ty for po6. don't think i'd have tried that one on my own

8:59 pm

Trif - hee's in Devon because he's not famous enough any more to be in anything other than provincial theatres.

8:59 pm

po*head... now that is something I could have recognized (in my youth, of course)

8:59 pm

hahahha

9:00 pm

J.. If you're on line, please feel free to speak.

9:00 pm

(laughing about devon reference, jac--- tickled my funny bone there, jac)

9:01 pm

Now, Dorens, be careful not to become hysterical there.

9:01 pm

oh no, jac, in full c control always! (3 glasses of sangiovese to the contrary)

9:03 pm

now honestly, how can spam not be in the dictionary??????

9:03 pm

He was once famous enough to get his own 'Who Do You Think Yoou Are?' programme one, though. I was a bit concerned watching part of itm, when he went into his parents back garden, to hear his mother say, 'I hope you don't find any FOREIGNERS in our family!'

9:04 pm

Spam is NOT in the dictionatary.

9:04 pm

is there anyone here who doesn' t know monty python? if not unwanted emails? I know it's not in the dictionary, but we all know the word!!!

9:05 pm

well, i never heard of him before but i sure do know plenty about him now. more than i need to, actually

9:05 pm

I must watch the rest of the programme to see what his mother meant, if it was ever explained.

9:06 pm

would it be worth your time?

9:06 pm

I won't post the link to that programme here, lest it sudddenly we deleted.

9:07 pm

It'd be worth 2 morning big cups of tea, Dorens, whilst I' awakening.

9:07 pm

lol

9:10 pm

Any moe clues needed before I have to get up to make sure Beloved doesn't pack my jam making stuff (jars etc) in with our holiday stuff?

where you going Jac?

9:12 pm

so where are you off to jac?

9:12 pm

He assured me he would not do that earlier, but he had to find two of those plugs thingeys with about 6 things you can plug into earlier, to [ut away for the packing. He put them atop my jam-making boxes. LOL

LOL

9:12 pm

well, depending on where you are, perhaps you can make some very interesting jam

9:13 pm

North Devon, in UK, lindrick.

oh cool Jac, I was born in Dorset but never got to visit Devon

9:14 pm

oh i get it... can see the performance in devon then. well, all i really know about devon is clotted cream with strawberries.... enjoy

yeah hope you have fun Jac! (0:

9:15 pm

Doorens, I already have Bramble Jelly (Blackbeery Jam without the seeds) to make when I get home. Got to give a pot to Blind Jim, the 'owner' of the briar.

9:16 pm

Blackcurrant Jam is also on the agenda as is marmalade.

sounds yummy!

9:17 pm

oh my! i'd be happy with a jar of any of the above! your lucky family.. hope they appreciate it

packing is the only thing on my agenda!

9:17 pm

My homemade jam and chutney issecondto none, so I am told.

9:18 pm

i've made an incredible chutney.. though not in 10 - 20 years at this point... had ll sorts of stuff... mangos, pears, canteloupe, apples, walnuts... took days to make.. did it with friends and it was well worth it.. but they're gone now and so is the free tiime

9:20 pm

at this point i'd be glad to find someone who makes it and i'll pay them. no longer renjoy the hours in the kitchen... would rather babble

9:20 pm

Dorens - see my blog fpr a great chutney recipe.

9:21 pm

and i'd be loathe to compete with yours jac!

9:21 pm

tell me how to find your blog, please

9:22 pm

Dorens- I reallydon't think the shipping cost for one jar would be worth it when you could makeit and mmore for youself.

9:22 pm

I thought you were already invited to my blog, Dorens?

9:23 pm

Oh not, I see. I need an e-mail address to invite you with.

9:23 pm

haha! you are right. but i can't imagine when i'd want to spend the time to make mine... need to find y our recipe.... and maybe i was, not saying i wasn't. but i'm rather brain dead and maybe i didn't notice? can you do it through facebook?

I think I have both of you on my facebook

9:25 pm

most exciting.. will probably take a month or two to find the time to do this, but most excited that i can finally make chutney again since Ken would really really appreciate it for christmas. so would various family members. oh joy oh joy, i'm going to be redomesticated

9:25 pm

Yes, I can do it through Facebook. I think we are connected there, aren't we? If not, we'll remedy that.

9:26 pm

yes we are, and i've just even sent you a message

9:26 pm

If you'd read my blog, Dorens, yoiu'd kow that my Beloved hatees the smell of chutney being made and doesn't eat it either;

9:26 pm

yes lind.. but i basically only use facebook to play the dastardly addictive game of lexulous

oh I love that game too!

gotta go pizza is here

bye guys catch you next time, take care! (0:

9:28 pm

oh my no, poor thing.. what a shame. and no, i've not seen your blog jacs, but we'll fix that, won't we? bye lind. enjoy the pizza

9:28 pm

Lindrick - how can you bear to eat take-out pizza when my Belove makes pizza so much better?

9:28 pm

jacs, your beloved is not exactly convenient to lind now is he?

9:29 pm

well my family likes chutney, misses my old one, and would be delighted to have some. even if it doesn't take two to three days to make

Jac when I arrive in the UK i will search you out and try some of your pizza!!

9:30 pm

My Belove, Dorens isn't always convenient to anyone but himself. But he will m,arry me one day, me and 'Step' willl make sure of that. LOL

9:31 pm

lindrixcxk - not my pizza, but my other half's. Thought I do make a mean potato base piza.

I'll be there in less than 2 months Jac! (0:

9:32 pm

well jac, when i get back to england next, i shall show up at your doorstep and beg for paul's pizza

9:33 pm

Both Dorens and Linndrick willl be very welcome.

aaww thanks Jac! (0:

9:34 pm

If I could dispense with men, I would do so. However, the women who have offered me 'sanctuary' to smell or weigh right. No contest. Bloody men!

9:45 pm

Neither smell or weight right, I meant.

9:45 pm

menopause = a pause, to reconsider men

9:45 pm

LOL Trifioso

9:46 pm

Trif - I have reconsidered, and I still want a man.

Goodbye Lindrickway! I'll see you tomorrow in the log

10:19 pm

thanks stid

10:19 pm

sure thing big red

10:20 pm

lol, stid

10:20 pm

I teach in an inner city school in Yonkers, New York.

10:20 pm

that's cool, min!

10:21 pm

down to 59, and as much as I really want to stay and chat and such...

10:21 pm

Does anyone have a clue for the ta 6/24 word please

10:21 pm

oh heck. I'll just chat and visit for another five minutes.

10:21 pm

bike 4 2

10:22 pm

min, bike built for 2?

10:22 pm

oh! thanks wht and ping!

10:22 pm

Hello wht! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle

10:22 pm

stid, how's school going for you?

10:23 pm

Thank you for the ta 6/24 clue. I just found the word

10:23 pm

it's going well ping, I think. the teachers aren't as clear about expectations as I like... but it's a learning experience for me, and I am treating it as such. Also I am practicing being assertive to get my needs met. Seems to be working okay.

10:23 pm

Well, I'm about done in. 38 words left but my brain left a while ago.

10:24 pm

go you, stid! that sounds great.

10:24 pm

I have to indicate the school I want to do my practicum in for the next two quarters. And think about where my first actual student teaching will be...

10:24 pm

It's harder in some ways than I expected, but to be honest at this point it's not that bad.

10:24 pm

wow, i didn't realize you could make that decision yourself

10:24 pm

so that's my life in a nutshell. I still have two kids, and that's probably a good thing (most days). *wicked mama grin*

10:24 pm

how about you?

10:25 pm

only for the practicum, and we aren't supposed to ask for schools where we actually know people.

10:25 pm

is the school you're attending sort of liberal artsy as opposed to technical?

10:26 pm

um.... The Evergreen State College. Yes. highly alternative. but with a good reputation (and I got my BA there too)

10:26 pm

must resist urge to chat...must go to bed...aw, heck, there's people i know and like in chat! staying.

10:26 pm

well, both girls have croupy coughs this week. it's finally cooled down here.

10:26 pm

hi there, feather

10:26 pm

:D hi ping

10:26 pm

hello FEATHER!!! *drags on computer cord to keep feather here*

10:27 pm

hee hee, staying for a few. i was doing the nodding off thing a second ago though.

10:27 pm

oh, I am sorry about the coughs, but glad for the cooler weather. A friend in San Antonio wrote earlier this week that they really had a big storm.

10:27 pm

at wits we have our first gala in 1.5 weeks - kind of busy but fine

10:27 pm

I got down to 54 now.

10:27 pm

yes, we've had rains and floods

10:27 pm

my boys have hand foot and mouth disease. nick's worse than daniel.

10:27 pm

I was reading about that -- the gala sounds like it will be a wonderful experience. I hope so, anyway.

10:28 pm

??? how did they get that feather? I've never known anyone who had it.

10:28 pm

it's apparently very common in young kids. fever, mouth sores, rash on hands and feet

10:28 pm

i never can remember what that is, feather, except that it's very contagious

10:29 pm

that doesn't sound comfortable. I hope they recover soon.

10:29 pm

no real treatment other than treat the symptoms. tylenol, etc.

10:29 pm

well, my five minutes were up four minutes ago.

10:29 pm

I hope the boys recover quickly and that you don't catch it!

10:29 pm

i should be ok, probably had it as a kid and am now immune

10:29 pm

night, stid. catch you later

10:30 pm

i never hear of adults getting it

10:30 pm

hope the girls are better soon too -- coughs are so tiring.

10:30 pm

i'd better go too, starving for my bedtime snack and very sleepy. just wanted to peek in and say hi.

10:30 pm

(((everyone))) thanks for being adults with me tonight! *Poof*

10:30 pm

nice of you to stop in, feather! happy to touch base with you
