drat, double post, lol

2:44 am

Thanks Catie - looking now.

2:47 am

Got them - can't believe I was missing the 2nd de 5/24 - I fished myself!

2:48 am

lol

2:49 am

still missing 1 e (thinks it's an ep) and 1 p.

2:49 am

I was missing the one that usually has nisi after it and I was divorced once upon a time!

2:50 am

there are 2 ep6.30

2:55 am

p's are pi 4, 6, 7, 7, 6, 7, 4, 4 pr 5, 7

2:55 am

how often have you used those ep words?

2:56 am

constantly. don't you?

2:56 am

but I haven't actually checked whether I'm using them in the right context, lol

2:59 am

using young greek boys just entering manhood ! Catie really!

2:59 am

ooh, dear, better not tell hubby that one, LOL

3:00 am

methinks I should do something about a profile. I'm Aussie btw

3:01 am

You are not pro yet? have long have you been playing Catie

3:02 am

Just got that last pr word - somethimes I can't beleive the ones I miss - I need my own fish pond!

3:02 am

oh, I've got pro and I've got Lickety - I've just been too slack to write about myself

3:03 am

Anyone need any clues before I go?

3:04 am

How many words today

Clues are up

3:04 am

Congrats Dianne, not for me thanks

3:04 am

hi Gran, 163

3:04 am

163

3:04 am

TY and hi Lickety

3:04 am

Thanks Dianne, no

3:05 am

Hi Gran

3:05 am

Hi Gran

3:05 am

and thanks Lickety, much appreciated

3:05 am

o.k. than - enjoy the babbling.

3:05 am

Thanks

3:13 am

I'm always glad of Lickety's lists because I'm often missing around dusk - I feed all the meat-eating birds and then I have two cats to look after

3:15 am

where do you live Catie?

3:16 am

nsw, south of wollongong

3:21 am

Lynxxx, I was just looking at your profile and saw your recipe - do you have a source for cranberries that are not full of sugar?

3:24 am

Not really Catie...from memory I just sorted through a box of mixed frozen berries I had. Went heavy on the figs though

3:25 am

cranberries are supposed to be tart - i just don't understand why they add sugar - same with apricot nectar (already sweet - why add sugar?)

3:30 am

They don't sell just frozen ones? seems strange if they don't

3:31 am

haven't found any without sugar - perhaps my problem is that i like tart things and the majority of the purchasing pub

3:32 am

damn, got halfway through that, lol. Majority of the purchasing public prefer sweet things

3:33 am

brb, the lord and master needs to be fed

3:59 am

note for Ata...Cranberries are grown in bogs

4:02 am

: D Lynx G'd morning Babblers. This grid is a soul killer

4:04 am

goodmorning lori, not as bad as the last 2 days for me

4:04 am

The last couple have been a workout, IMO. Maybe I'm just not awake yet.

4:04 am

Yah yah that's my story, I'm not awake!

4:07 am

The 2 ep 6's were what set my fear-O-meter red lining....

hi all :)

4:25 am

hi MRP!

hi lynxx :))

4:26 am

what's news up in NSW?

4:33 am

morning all

4:34 am

Sprite!!!!! how wonderful to see you again! How are you? improving?

4:35 am

slowly going in the right direction, lyn :) And very much enjoying my new computer, so I can get back in touch with my babble friends. How've you been?

4:38 am

I have been well. Nothing much happens with me now which is why I love retirement! Did they manage to find out what was happening with you?

4:39 am

healthwise or computerwise?

4:39 am

healthwise

4:40 am

your legs weren't obeyng you very well last I heard

4:41 am

they found my liver is slightly hurt by the medication, but nothing to worry about. The x-rays for my legs and back were inconclusive and I have an appointment with a neurologist in november. Still no feeling in my feet, but walking is a little bit better now that I rest more often.

4:42 am

thanks for asking :)

4:43 am

No thanks required - I have been thinking of you often. How is the family & Terra?

4:44 am

family is doing very well, especially the kids. Hubby is a bit stressed at work and has too many gout spells. And Terra is brilliant. So lovable and funny and sweet. He holds his food perfectly now. And we believe he is doing much better with his hips.

4:45 am

how's steward and how's your love?

nsw is freezing!!

4:48 am

Stew is great, such good company. Husband is fine though troubled by his eye, cataract - with bumps just to make it more difficult & expensive

4:48 am

lol MRP

hi sprite :)

4:48 am

ouch, am sorry for him! Can they make it any better? hi mrP!

4:49 am

He's following through with specialists

4:50 am

I really hope they can help him.

4:50 am

TY I am sure it will be OK

4:51 am

it is very tiring when one cannot see proper and/or is bothered by an eye.

4:53 am

Compared to some it is a minor inconvenience. And helps him maintain the Grumpy Old Man disposition

4:53 am

lol :)

5:00 am

wow that D is coming slowly for me

5:02 am

have only 8 but at least got an 8 from it

5:02 am

I have only 6, but I do have both 8s, grin.

5:03 am

hmmm - thanks for the hint

5:04 am

did i hint?

5:04 am

2 d8's - ?

5:05 am

nooooo sorry! The ot5 8 is not a D

5:05 am

OK thanks for clarifying

5:05 am

Hello Sprite & Lynxxx!

5:05 am

just wanted to show I wasn't totally dumb, lol. Hi Scrabs!

5:05 am

hi Scrabs

5:06 am

Sprite, is that Terra?

5:06 am

Scrabs: no, just a random KCC. I cannot yet access my own pictures on the old laptop.

5:07 am

Very cute.

5:07 am

thanks :)

5:08 am

I found a de8 by myself!

5:08 am

wtg Scrabs!

5:09 am

However words are NOT jump ing out at me.

5:10 am

so far I am finding this a very sweet grid, but I still need the last 1/3.

5:10 am

I am still waking up and not caffeinated

5:15 am

*pours Scrabs a nice cup of coffee*

5:16 am

I have one here--sipping.

5:16 am

in that case I will keep it myself, lol

5:18 am

Scrabs, can I ask you a doctor thing?

5:19 am

Of course

5:19 am

If you clue the 4th column E words--my only blank tiles.

5:19 am

lol

5:20 am

We are trading services, haha

5:20 am

er5.12 girls name and a heath

5:21 am

my sister's blood was tested for a mega load of viruses etc. She had had Lime and some other things and still wasn't ok. But then she had to be retested because there was a ' vague HIV sign', according to the doctor that was probably because they tested for so many things. They said it was probably a ' valse positive'. Is that possible?

5:21 am

er5: small purple flowers

5:21 am

er5.12 standing up straight

5:21 am

TY for E's! I always miss the girl's name

5:22 am

lol lyn beat me to it

5:22 am

That should be followed up with further HIV tests--there are different types, to ensure she is truly negative rather than calling it false positive

5:23 am

just wanted to keep it 'nice' Sprite, know what you would do with that second one

5:23 am

yes she was retested immediately, we are waiting for the results right now. But is that 'common' with such tests, that something pops up that isn't in?

5:23 am

*giggles* Lyn, you know me too well!

5:23 am

Parvovirus B19, CMV, EBV, thyroid function--I assume she was tested for these. Also--vitamin D deficiency! read www.vitamindcouncil.org.

5:24 am

yes, all of those! Ok, thanks. She is not in any risk group, but you know how it goes with words like HIV, one gets stressed right away.

5:25 am

Some results can be just outside the normal range but HIV must be followed up.

5:26 am

vit D... I will ask her that. We get that out of fats and sunlight, right? She is pretty thin and has a skin affliction. Not sure what the name is in english. Vitiligo?

5:35 am

that article is amazing, Scrabs

5:35 am

same in English Sprite. Michael Jackson supposedly had that I think

5:36 am

it runs in our family. My granddad was pure white at the end of his life, hair and skin and all. My sis has it pretty bad too.I only have mini spots so far.

5:37 am

no idea if it prevents vit D production in the skin though. Will google.

5:37 am

Vitiligo is not related to Vit D deficiency. Yes, Sprite, that site is chock full of vital info--tell everyone about it. Vit D deficiency is vastly underdiagnosed and is likely very common.

5:39 am

Wow...not sure of the recommendations for the Vit D. Melanoma sufferer here. We are well on the way to banning sunbeds here due to death as a direct result

5:39 am

wow, a whole load of articles about how vit D might help cure vitiligo. But indeed, vitiligo isn't said to be a cause of vit D deficiency

5:40 am

was wondering the same thing, lyn. And Scrabs: are there side effects to too much vit D?

5:43 am

Excess vit D can be toxic but due to lack of sun in further latitudes and to use of sunscreen = deficiency

5:43 am

Vit D won't cause melanoma

5:44 am

good morning everyone;)

5:45 am

good morning crossy, scrabbler, sprite, lynxxx, and all my babble friends!

5:45 am

hi Cross

5:45 am

and Trif!

5:46 am

no but lots of sun exposure might, right? I just read that with up to 5000 IU, one needn't worry about toxic levels. Some people even might need more!

5:46 am

heya crossy and Trif :D

5:47 am

and sunbeds (ie tanning) too!

5:47 am

Hello Trif & Crossy

5:47 am

I take 5000 IU/day of Vitamin D3

5:48 am

so maybe pills would be better. I see depression and neuromuscular disorders are listed too... I might benefit from vit D3 myself. Does it make you feel better, Scrabs?

5:48 am

reading back,i have had 2 leisions carved out of my belly so far,i shake my heads at people who lay on the beach and roast or them damn sunbeds;/ sprite,hope you sis test comes back good;)

5:49 am

Crossy, Billy (seminoma) is near death at this time--very bad shape. Latest round of chemo wiped him out--pneumonia, kidney failure. we are holding out hope for recovery.

5:50 am

Yes, Sprite take vit D3--cholecalciferol. Vit D panels (blood tests) are available and more docs are learning about the vital role of vit D in health.

5:50 am

:( i am very sorry to hear that scrabbs,as you know seminoma was one of my cancers.i will pray for billy and send my best withes to him and family.was it diagnosed to late?you probably told me but my short term memory is crap

5:51 am

I have tested kids who are tired, achy, weak--all deficient and all improve with treatment.

5:52 am

At diagnosis he had a basketball sized tumor in abdomen pressing on a kidney. He is cognitively impaired so I believe that delayed his recognition of symptoms or his ability to describe what he felt.

5:52 am

ahh ok

5:53 am

so sorry to hear that, Scrabs :(

hello all again :) scrabbs, hope all is ok sweety

5:53 am

wb mrP

5:53 am

howdy mrp (((())))

5:53 am

So sad for his sister, my friend. Billy is 44 and her only sibling. Both parents died in the last several years from cancer.

5:53 am

hi mrp

((crossy!)) how you going :) ??

Hugs Scrabbler and thank you for the info on D3 I was looking for D3 pills for a long time

5:53 am

Very sad Scrabbs. Did anyone ever tell you what a great person you are!

scrabbs, it can be such a sad situation... ((hugs))

5:54 am

Lynxxx, God has given me much compassion.

5:54 am

*seconds lyn on that*

5:55 am

Vit D can also fight/prevent cancer.

5:55 am

damn cancer!ive traced back my family line on the male side as far as i can and every single one has died of cancer.the only reason i am here is medical advances since 1970

5:56 am

mrp, read about autism on www.vitamindcouncil.org.

5:56 am

doing fime mrp;))

5:56 am

We are so glad you are with us, Crossy!

5:57 am

someone has to keep you ladies in line;))))))

happy it is you crossy!!

scrabbs, I am so over autism... it is like medieval wet shirt contest.... vote taken and we all died in combat

5:58 am

mm;(( not quite enough r,s in this grid;/

Scrabbler a long time ago I was thought to have a D3 deficiency. I got told a bit off sun light would be good.

frustration rules

hi infern :)

5:58 am

I saw that, Scrabs. Very interesting indeed!

6:01 am

silly question scrabbs.can thaimine be taken as a suppliment?(i know little about vitamin pills

luke decided that the rules apply when he decides, but when it suits him, they are not rule-worthy and therefore can be changed, except when he needs the rules to apply

6:02 am

Thiamine = a B vitamin. I take a "super vitamin B complex" tablet daily.

sounds like a typical 10 year old boy to me :)

6:02 am

k..a b vitamin will remember that

MR Pres Time out works

6:02 am

That sounds like most children, mrp, and some adults, especially politicians

Or as my dad used to say you are never too old for a back hand

infern, time out works for most, but not this one... he has by-passed time out and made it 'time to piss you all off'

Maybe he needs a bit of a quite time in his cave where he can think about it

he loves his bat cave!!

6:05 am

lock the door ;)

we are not allowed to back-hand anymore

6:07 am

nope not here either,lol once when bradly was ,id guess in about grade 3,he told the teacher he was sad cause i beat him(i gave him a tap on the bum to get him going ) well! i had the cops and the childrens aid waiting for me at pick up time! lol will never forget that

6:07 am

ouch! That is taking it a bit too far, isn't it?

the kids have been educated in school to abuse by parents. They are told we can't physically hurt them (ie, back-hand) or lock them in their room (imprisonment) or stop them from doing what they want (child abuse - unspecific). I am just shocked by what we have to deal with. All my friends with pre-teen kids are suffering so much... I wish I had the time/energy to tell you the problems they have

6:08 am

crazy

6:08 am

was a all afternoon thing,and i was on thier files for 6 months

Its b.s really. I was a cheeky little shit and deserved a smack on the back of the legs

I believe it must have been just nasty crossy!

6:09 am

lol,my fathers greatest gift to me was letting me get old enough to vote;))

I am now being educated on how to by-pass this.

6:10 am

now i am in the next phase 15-20 ;(

I remember as a kid it was wooden spoon, kettle cord or back hand. I was the kid that got the back hand when I was very naughty. the grounding of my life was 1 month grounding, no tv no friends and well no nothing as I was very rude to my Gran ( I think I was being a surly teen)

6:11 am

I feel lucky with my children. Occasionally I'd love to paste them behind the wallpaper, but usually they are sweet or at least reachable.

6:11 am

lol as it happens br 4/6 is in the grid lol

6:11 am

wonder of they give the parents follow up classes after the kids get their classes on how to recognise abuse

6:11 am

lol herin,for me it was the hair brush

O that to. I remember that one if I would not sit still with hair brush

have you seen my facebook status??

6:12 am

One the wooden spoon broke when my mother smacked my butt with it.

I am sorry to sound old but that may explain why kids today behave like they do.

6:13 am

www.empoweringparents.com has great info on ealing with difficult kids

6:13 am

see? and we turned out normal...almost

O Mr Pres I did. I am sorry people are poo

I am just disgusted infern

Well whom ever it is will be in trouble

6:14 am

what is happening MRP? know very little of fb

6:15 am

but i do have a good one for kids say grade 4 to8.our beloved offspring use to get us foaming by staying in bed till the last second and being late for school all the time.so we revered it.we made a deal with his teacher that for every five minites he was late,a fun school activity would be taken away for that day.lol. after that we only had to call him once!

lynx, I got a call from a friend's daughter. She asked me to pass a message to her mother (they are estranged)

I replied very simply, no implication...'mum said she hasn't got your clothes, I can't tell you anything else'.

6:16 am

clever remedy Cross

next thing, I am getting threatening text messages from the so-called 'step-mother-to-be'

6:18 am

good grief...how inane

i told her to FO but she didn't stop... and she made the mistake of threatening me. So police called her and I have no more nasty messages (after 35 insane messages from her)

6:19 am

good lord mrp.this may be a typical mans response,but if they are embrioling you in a endless war id put them both on number block for a year to smarten them up.or you get the crap from both ends

Lovely Mr pres

6:20 am

and tell mom and daughter that time flies and a day will come when it is too late to med fences..;((

6:20 am

mend even

6:21 am

ignore the lunatics of the world, mrp, and take their "power" away

6:21 am

the world is full of crazies it seems sometimes. Anyway enough for tonight. Bye all!

6:21 am

night lyn, sleep well!

I think I need to disembark from this shit-ship. The fences won't be mended the way it is unfortunately.

6:21 am

Yikes, I must get ready--I spend Mondays at the Native American clinic and the drive is a bit further. Bye all. Enjoy the day!

6:22 am

on a good day now my father mingh,MIGHT know who i am;(..tc scrabbs hagd;))

No there is these cases called Otterbox they are trish proof (she is a clutz)

Thanks Esprit but is the de7 then a whole other word or does it work off of the de6?

6:49 am

Marc: just insert a vowel

6:52 am

Howdy folks

6:52 am

1/10th of a measurement, Marc

It seems like there is only on place to insert a vowel and that doesn't work?

hi BR

hi rbud. Just read your profile...sounds like my backyard with the wildife...add hawks, mallards, Canada geese.

8:20 am

Ooh, we have lots of the geese, too, right now they're flocking and going south. Lots of honking.

My friend traveled to Cap Tourmente, Quebec this past weekend to see the snow geese gather before heading south. Ii am anxious to see her pictures. We had been there two summers ago during the summer and tried to envision the process.

8:24 am

They sure get loud here when a bunch get together. (Drives our little dog nuts.) But what a neat sight.

8:27 am

fireworks!

I usually have about 70-75 mallards that nestle in my river for the winter. Nice site and we watch the goslings grow every spring when the geese return if they have not left for the winter...some hang around...brrrr! Off for the day...see you all tomorrow.

8:27 am

bye, then, Read, have a great day!

8:30 am

congrats, Rose

8:34 am

9:38 am

*holds out a martini glass*

9:38 am

yay martinis! *runs for the shakers and gin*

9:39 am

what kind of martini?

9:39 am

no booze for you DC...you're already grabby

9:39 am

strong ones

9:39 am

dirty and gin (no fake vodka martini)

9:39 am

any and all

9:39 am

classic, vodka, espresso, blood orange....

9:39 am

kinda early on a work day but what the hey. . ..

9:39 am

the list is infinite!

9:40 am

i ain't workin

9:40 am

theoretically I am

9:41 am

wow, kje, you know your booze!

9:41 am

would like to know it better

9:41 am

gotta go look for boots...bbl

9:41 am

oo what's a blood orange martini?

9:42 am

dunno but sounds good

9:42 am

has blood orange juice and often another orange liquor rather than vermouth... and usually vodka

9:42 am

NO VODKA!

9:42 am

*sulks*

9:43 am

it's all about the gin. If no gin, it's a cocktail, but not a martini. Same goes for vermouth. No vermouth, not a martini.

9:43 am

dc is a purist... I am not.. I say take it all

9:43 am

what dc said

9:44 am

you can drink it -- and i probably would drink the blood orange cocktail

9:44 am

sounds good

9:44 am

it does whether its a martini or not!

9:46 am

i've had lovely orange martinis, and chocolate things called by that name too.

9:46 am

the chocolate ones are too sweet

9:47 am

i like mine drier, but must tell them that on those fruity cocktails

9:47 am

yes, drier is nicer

9:48 am

I guess appetizers can't be called prebites?

9:49 am

forebit is the archaic term for appetizers

9:49 am

oooo - like that one too

9:50 am

rarebit comes after - derived from rearbit

9:50 am

very cool

9:51 am

I think I will open a restaurant and the menu headings will be forebit, bit, and rearbit

9:52 am

yeah, the bit that ends up on your rear

9:53 am

i may never eat rare butt again

9:53 am

OK, must run... lovely chatting with you all... and learned some new words from DC to boot - adios

9:54 am

brb

9:54 am

I should hope not! LOL

9:57 am

*WHEW!* just scheduled 2 more appointments to try on wedding dresses. gonna have a busy coupla weeks!

9:57 am

wheee!

9:57 am

phantom: graphite

9:58 am

gets tiresome after a bit all the searching, doesn't it.

9:58 am

i have one appt scheduled at a consignment shop nearby where my friend bought her gown, and another appt at Kleinfeld's in NYC where the dresses start at $1800 -- i like to try out the whole spectrum...lol

9:59 am

very nice, EvaN :)

9:59 am

find exactly what you like then find someone who makes them themselves - much cheaper sometimes!

9:59 am

and on that note, it is meeting time. back soon!

9:59 am

enjoy, evaN

10:20 am

10:21 am

I have todays clues on lickety!

10:21 am

Haz! La Glitterata!

10:21 am

Hello!

10:22 am

I'm just taking a look to see what's what and who's who.

10:23 am

Hi everyone

10:23 am

I saw France early today :)

10:23 am

ahh, gotta love meetings where they let you know that you will be locked in the freezer yet again. :/

10:24 am

No fog in the Channel today?

10:25 am

not a millimetre

10:25 am

it was *so* clear

10:26 am

Do you think there were any Frenchwomen with poodles declaring 'I can see England'?

10:26 am

I would zink zo

10:26 am

"i see london" "i see france" next thing you know, well be talking about underpants...

10:26 am

Alors.

10:27 am

Zut alors!

10:27 am

There's always something very odd about being able to look over to another country

10:27 am

Does seeing Scotland count?

10:27 am

sometimes I can see Essex too. That's definitely another country

10:27 am

defintiely!

10:28 am

Such a pity FM isn't around to see you competing for her typo crown.

10:29 am

I've decided that while I have flu, I can't hold myself up to my normal standrasd

10:29 am

when has Ata ever been held to a "normal" standard?

10:30 am

We'll know you're better when the typing returns to normal. Or mornal if you prefer.

10:30 am

bet Grandfather Albert couldn't type either

10:31 am

Probably not. He had more pressing matters on his mind.

10:32 am

as do I *nods wisely*

10:33 am

(wondering when bogs will drop into the conversation)

10:33 am

oh! you're so lucky. I have a week's extension because of still dying from flu. So you'll all get another week of them!

10:34 am

That's such good news.

10:34 am

Does the lying through your teeth font show up?

10:34 am

I thought you'd like that

10:34 am

*gasp*

10:35 am

Did you get to cough down the phone to persuade the powers that be that you really were dying?

10:35 am

nope, I just told them

10:35 am

saying that, today is the first day that I've actually managed to stay out of bed

10:36 am

You're improving at last!

10:36 am

good morning.. i just need help on the ac 7 does anyone have that one?

10:37 am

Finally!!

10:37 am

more of the ac5

10:37 am

ruru is known for his ac***ic comments + hesitation

10:38 am

I take it Kleenex Balsam tissues have been pressed into service?

10:38 am

very much so

10:38 am

they are so so lovely

10:38 am

I wonder if they have a website where you could post appreciative comments?

10:39 am

thank you ms. flu bug..

10:39 am

from which I could gain commission status

10:39 am

Kleenex Balsam????

10:39 am

(checking comments historically for ac5 comments)

10:39 am

do they smell like balsam trees?

10:40 am

They don't smell, they're just soft.

10:40 am

very soft

10:40 am

You know the way normal tissues make your nose sore if you have to blow lots of times? Kleenex Balsam don't.

10:40 am

too bad, I love the smell of balsam

10:40 am

I would like balsamic vinegar ones

10:41 am

glad to hear you're feeling a bit better atalante

10:41 am

It used to be that I would have to switch to using proper cloth hankies to avoid the tissue soreness, but the balsam tissues are wonderful. (a satisfied customer, Oct 2009)

10:42 am

lol

10:42 am

That would be my contribution if we could find a website.

10:42 am

there's very few products that live up to their advertising, but those tissues do

10:42 am

They do.

10:43 am

And we're not being paid to say so. Although if they do offer a little financial reward......

10:43 am

are there any DR words today?

10:43 am

exacly. just like morewords and paypal

10:43 am

no dr

10:44 am

hmmmm

10:44 am

You know where you are with morewords, paypal and Kleenex.

10:44 am

Can anyone clue the first Be4/8 please

10:45 am

10:45 am

be4/8 - add a vowel to the place of rest

10:45 am

ooops. that's a 4/7

10:45 am

10:45 am

be 4 is the German word for hill or mountain

10:45 am

shoot, mine was second... go with Haz's clue

10:45 am

oops brb. strange noises from the kitchen ........

10:46 am

10:46 am

Rubbber gloves for washing up, Kleenex and Nivea they are the staples :)

10:46 am

Thanks Haz never saw that one at all ... thanks inge n nrkii l

10:46 am

can't whap the cat!!!

10:46 am

LOL *poof*

10:47 am

*repoofs in* hi FM!!! *hugs hugs*

10:47 am

*poofs*

10:47 am

Hooray! FM is here, I assumed you'd be chest deep in packing boxes.

10:47 am

i thought you said the noises were strange

10:47 am

Just need a 5 mins sanity break from the real work so where do I head :)

10:47 am

Has anybody posted the stats?

10:47 am

Erda, Lickety's list is there, or at least I have it.

10:48 am

Mine doesn't work; all broken up

10:48 am

You come to babble for sophisticated chat. You know it makes sense.

10:48 am

Erda - lickety reposted the, Hey Haz :)

10:48 am

Oh dear! Sorry to hear that, Erda.

10:49 am

Mine flashes on briefly, then goes away

10:49 am

HOw was the ballet Haz?

10:49 am

It was lovely.

10:50 am

try here, Erda: http://tinyurl.com/2tfl4u

10:50 am

It was strange to hear the feet on stage, seeing it on television always makes you think they're floating or something.

10:51 am

They probably could have done with a bigger stage to really get leaping about but it was great to see.

10:51 am

just checked my lickety list and it is totally normal

10:51 am

I remember the first time my parents took me to see a ballet it was magical. Oh yes - all those blocked ends to the shoes is goona make a noise!

10:51 am

And not an ounce of spare flesh anywhere.

10:51 am

Did you reboot yet, Erda?

10:51 am

Prob best not to go there HAz :)

10:51 am

I couldn't help wondering how they all appeared to be able to change costume so fast. Backstage must have been bedlam.

10:52 am

Back in a sec - will just return to my usual icon.

10:52 am

Yes, Inge, but I'll do it again, right now

10:52 am

Erda I put the list in my profile fo ryou

10:53 am

ahh.... *remembers her days en pointe*

10:53 am

speaking of lists... time for me to use one

10:53 am

It can't be good for your feet.

10:54 am

there is a lot of padding in those toe shoes.

10:54 am

and, seriously, dancers tend to have pretty busted feet.

10:55 am

EvaN :) HI.

10:55 am

hiya. :)

10:55 am

erda? you there?

10:55 am

still loving the sparkly apendage on your finger :)

10:55 am

I'm sure they must suffer in later life, as well as when they're dancing. It all looks graceful and elegant but the physical effort must be immense.

10:56 am

Any wedding dates set yet, EvaN?

10:56 am

OH yes I am sure, broken joints, sprains, arthritus - but the drive to dance and be the best carries them on and ive us such memorable perforamces.

10:57 am

the feet dont bother you so much once youre used to it. the muscles it takes to be thta graceful is astounding, though. people think of dancers (especially ballerinas) as these lithe little things, but in reality, they are SOLID muscle. total athletes.

10:57 am

next fall. probably october.

10:58 am

That gives you a nice period of time to get organised.

10:58 am

Can we be your babble bridesmiad - we already have a great colection of hats and outfits *grin*

10:58 am

EvaN, I w as joking earlier that I clapped extra hard to try and use up some calories - I felt so fat in contrast to those dancers!

10:58 am

im trying. dear fiance is not quite ready to make decisions yet + is being a wee bit difficult. need to corner him + beat him until he submits.

10:59 am

absolutely!

11:01 am

Actually that would be a great theme for icons -when you set the date - a pic of the babler in a bridesmaid outfit.

11:01 am

I've never been a bridesmaid.

11:01 am

heh, ill be sure to announce when the date is selected. :)

11:02 am

We could all post icons of our most crushing bridesmailds faux pas!

11:02 am

It would be hard to beat those bridesmaids with the Donny Osmond caps.

11:03 am

hi folks

11:03 am

i have only been a bridesmaid twice + neither dress was so terrible...

11:04 am

Aw Haz you haven't - well you have missed the ignomy of wearing a dress that gave me static electricity and was covered in for-get-me-nots and some random pink flower. Oh and there was a hat that went with the outfit.

1:57 pm

hi peri it's not so friendly is it?

1:59 pm

Good morning (afternoon, evening) all. I need to access the collective brain of our science-fiction fans here. I THINK the poem/song "Radiation Blues" was written as part of a story by either Asimov, Harlan Ellison, or possibly Heinlein. Ring any bells?

2:00 pm

no ch have you tried google?

2:00 pm

It goes, "Old H Bomb went off last Tuesday, by the Second Chance Saloon. There ain't nothin left but the jukebox, and it's playing a mournful tune..." Yes --- google has NADA.

2:01 pm

it sounds like Dylan

2:01 pm

"Had a wake for Jake the barber, one long drink and one short prayer...he went and shot himself this morning 'cause the whole town's lost their hair..." ??

2:01 pm

I like that

2:01 pm

try googling one of the lines that may help

2:02 pm

I have all the lyrics, and I recorded a bluesy version of it years ago, and now I'm burning the old recording to a CD --- but I don't know who wrote it. I did google the lines.... only reference was someone else wondering if anyone remembered the song.

2:02 pm

I hope you find out would love to hear it

2:03 pm

ch1212!!! hugs!!!

2:03 pm

sounds like an old talking blues

2:03 pm

It's darkly comic. {{{ hugs Angelsong!! }}}

2:04 pm

The third verse is about how he goes for a walk in the town park, and doesn't mind the busted streetlights because "I was glowing in the dark"

2:05 pm

So, Angelsong... have you finished your final final draft and submitted it yet for your book? :)

2:05 pm

and you think it's from a sci fi author?

2:05 pm

nope. planning to submit it in November.

2:06 pm

hi angel nice to hear you're almost done

2:06 pm

we had a major unplanned expense this month. we had to have the engine on our car rebuilt.

2:06 pm

not good better now?

2:07 pm

Westford, I am pretty sure it is. I remember writing some music to go with the poem. Angelsong, glad to hear you are taking your time. It will all come together!

2:07 pm

but we did get a programmable thermostat installed on Saturday. My son in law is an electrician, and he did it.

2:07 pm

this grid was not fun.

2:08 pm

I've got to go now. Am mid-way through the recording and stopped in long enough to ask about the poem. Have fun all -- bbl!

6:06 pm

it makes me sorta thankful my one sis only likes dogs. it's bad enough doing undignified things to them - but not as bad as with cats.

6:06 pm

i suppose with dogs it also depends on the breed and luckily she doesn't have, like, a golden retriever or anything.

6:20 pm

the top left e, you mean? :) you and TO both getting that one backwards

6:20 pm

the other two are greek, doren - ep 6 and greek plural, also 6

6:21 pm

funny jb... i just noticed that myself.. new york kind of thing i guess

6:21 pm

we ill aim to get to your level of babbleness hurshy

6:21 pm

also, the size of the grid isn't always correlated with the difficulty.

6:21 pm

of course, jbv, they would be foreign language!

6:22 pm

right, hursh. some of the hardest are the small ones

6:23 pm

AND i'm still having a hard time with those ep's, though i did take 3 semesters of greek!

6:24 pm

*nudges crossy* so maybe we have to be specific. the grid isn't that tough, just the words within *lol*

6:24 pm

doren and hurshy, it rhymes with your granddaughter again

6:24 pm

well ty for correcting me to such a degree hursy,ill try to rething my opinion on a grid in the future

6:25 pm

thanks JBV!

6:25 pm

sorry crossy, i didn't mean to sound... you know... teacherish.

6:26 pm

hurshy, I studied greek too, can't speak it very much, but I can sound out most words

saganaki!

I can speak greek too

6:26 pm

most of the greek i learned went out of my head pretty soon after i learned it

6:27 pm

all the greek i know is what i learned working my way through school in greek diners ... and you won't find many of those words here :)

opah!

6:27 pm

and it was ancient greek so we didn't speak it, only read it.

6:28 pm

so can you read the Odyssey in Greek, hursh?

6:28 pm

homer..doh!

6:28 pm

that would be my ultimate dream - to read the great classics in the original language

6:29 pm

um, no... i mean i could try, but even with a dictionary and a grammar book on hand it would be a major struggle and half my translation would sound very nonsensical.

6:29 pm

or the illiad

6:29 pm

as i said, forgot it very fast. cause really, when do you use ancient greek?

6:30 pm

when i actually do get a sentence to make sense i am so proud. and then sometimes that would happen and i would go to the class and it would turn out it was wrong anyway.

6:31 pm

hurshy, I totally understand - did I tell you I am currently taking Chinese? I feel like i'm solving an impossible puzzle just to put one sentence together

6:32 pm

that is very brave of you, JBV, i wouldn't dare touch chinese.

6:32 pm

just for fun - no bravery involved -

6:32 pm

had a very tall, very blond friend in college who was learning it - worked very hard at it - so so funny to see him speaking it.

6:33 pm

I have been around languages all my life - and I have only ever met ONE American who could speak fluent Chinese

6:33 pm

my high school russian teacher studied mandarin, so she had an after school club where we learned a bit... and i stress the word bit. took a long time to master just a few words and phrases

6:34 pm

i had some second-gen chinese friends who would speak chinese to their parents on the phone, and it was so funny because they'd be chattering along in chinese and then hit a word they didn't know the chinese for, like "computer", and suddenly say just that word in un-accented english, and then go right back into the chinese.

6:35 pm

the word ma... four or five different meanings depending on how you pronounce it?

6:36 pm

that's the hardest thing, doren, it's even hard to just HEAR the different tones, we are not accustomed to such fine differences

6:36 pm

i must admit it was fun trying, though

6:37 pm

ok, last word, th7. clue?

6:37 pm

it's a compound, preposition

6:37 pm

oh, no, sorry, never mind

6:38 pm

th + P***winkle + 40 **res and a mule

6:38 pm

i was gonna say, i can't put -to, -at, -in, or -by ...

6:38 pm

1000 points to dorens!

6:38 pm

thanks, doren, I must have been seeing things

6:39 pm

anyone else like to do the NYT crosswords online?

6:39 pm

was just lucky earlier in the day... on to grab a few words and someone clued it.. don't remember the clue, but knew I'd never have gotten it any othe way

6:39 pm

Does anyone have a clue for pi6,24?

6:39 pm

i have an online subscription, hursh, but I print them out and do them on paper

6:39 pm

did you do today's?

6:40 pm

I like the cryptics too

6:40 pm

they will pi6 his hands and feet

6:40 pm

pi 6/24: poke a hole in something with a sharp object

6:40 pm

no, I do them in batches, catch up on a week's worth sometimes - why?

6:40 pm

i have delivery... like reading online, but like to do the puzzles in ink. the doublecrostics are my favorites

6:40 pm

yeah, cryptics are fun. and diagramless i love.

6:41 pm

i just thought today's was hard for a monday, wanted a second opinion.

6:41 pm

I feel dumb. I got some of the hard ones and missed that.

6:41 pm

Thanks cybernan

6:41 pm

didn't do today.. hardly ever have time for them anymore

6:41 pm

i'll check it out

6:42 pm

Hello, all...

6:42 pm

usually Mondays are the easiest, you're right, and Thursdays the hardest

6:42 pm

how about saturdays?

6:43 pm

hi jellen

6:43 pm

Saturdays, too, difficult

6:43 pm

i found them very tough for a while... now i try to do sundays on saturday, and ignore saturdays

6:44 pm

it's supposed to get harder from monday on except for sunday which is larger but not necessarily harder

6:45 pm

can someone help with the first re6/27 thanks

6:45 pm

and the mondays used to be so easy that they weren't even fun

6:46 pm

re + people with good manners are said to be well ****

6:47 pm

hurshy, i'm doing it now - my old neighborhood in QUeens is in there

6:49 pm

ah, well if you've LIVED in queens, that certainly does help.

6:50 pm

not here in babble, doren, i'm talking about the nyt crossword

6:50 pm

so hey guys - primo is in the dumps BIG TIME - he broke things off with his girlfriend yesterday, and ended up worrying himself sick over it. He went to bed tonight with a fever and a sick headache :(

8:58 pm

nm

8:58 pm

poor boy

8:58 pm

Do you think that is why he is sick? He may just be sick.

8:58 pm

I did talk to her today BTW

8:58 pm

don't know....his temp was 103 at 7:20, so he may in fact just be sick. Or maybe the universe is kicking his ass. who knows?

8:59 pm

oh did you? was she still crying her eyes out?

8:59 pm

ahhh...karma....

8:59 pm

Oh no .. The end of the world ..

8:59 pm

Did IM online so I don't know...just told her I know what she is going through and to give it some time.

9:00 pm

high school is SUCH a tough time

9:01 pm

I don't know if you can worry yourself into a fever, but I think you you can worry yourself into a state of lowered immunity ..

9:01 pm

down dobee down down -- breaking up is hard to do

9:02 pm

it is indeed. thanks, tor....

9:02 pm

maybe breaking got him good karma and that is why you immediately noticed when he got sick

9:02 pm

poor kids. I just feel awful for both of them. the distance thing just got the better of them

9:05 pm

envision this,it is just above freezing and the sun is down and the chill rain is hitting the window like sleet.you came in the door just as it was getting heavey.you have a nice hot shower then walk out to the kitchen in your fluffiest bath robe.pouring yourself a glass of wine or making a big mug of hot chockolate you settle yourself into this room.... http://tinyurl.com/yh8tmj4

9:49 pm

" I thought I turned it it"

9:49 pm

9:52 pm

Oh sorry! Need the second one, thanks!

9:52 pm

you have a lot going on, and so does he. I wouldn't be too hard on him -- does he know he can come to you next time he falls behind?

9:52 pm

He had it done and it was correct but it was due when I was out of town- it is passive agressive

9:52 pm

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

9:52 pm

Congrats Harry!

9:52 pm

i am so tired of playing fetch with Feldspar

9:52 pm

or is it the normal bone-headedness of adolescence? Sometimes I think my children have forgotten how to breathe, they seem so out of it.

9:53 pm

cats play fetch? *worldview collapses*

9:54 pm

and YAY Harry!!!!

9:54 pm

His mark is the natural consequence Stid. You just need to remind him that he is in charge of his work in the future.

9:55 pm

I dont know Stid- I went and talked to his teacher today and he said that he is not doing anything abnormal

9:55 pm

Sorry, I meant DR. You both love your kids the same way - LOTS

9:55 pm

*grin* this time, Bugs, it's DR's "bad parenting moment" rofl

9:55 pm

we are training our newest cat 'serius black" to a harness and leash so we can take him for walkies;)

9:55 pm

thanks all of you! I am feeling like a bad parent all on my own

9:55 pm

That is a bad parenting moment? OMG I am doomed !!

9:57 pm

((((((((((DR)))))))))) my bad parenting moments come in waves... we had one today which was not school related, if you want to hear me whining on?

9:57 pm

My idiot child tried to make Jello in his underwear drawer and he was shocked when I recognized what it was supposed to be.

9:57 pm

lol

9:57 pm

*gasp, chortle* oh BUGS! that is CLASSIC!

9:57 pm

9:58 pm

Jellen- A court order

9:58 pm

when my kid was training on the toilet he used his drawers as an emergency pee pee place till i caught him one night

9:58 pm

After leaving a note for the younger child that I would be getting home a little bit after he got home, and giving him explicit instructions on how to spend his time.... as I am driving home he is walking on the road with two neighbor kids that he KNOWS are off-limits (bad influence). AND he hadn't left a note for me.

9:59 pm

oh no cross! *P.U. face*

9:59 pm

D'oh! Thanks, DR!

9:59 pm

10:01 pm

10:12 pm

2000 1st time i saw fireworks at new year here in DC

10:12 pm

Lots of cats and dogs get spooked and run away from the noise, only to find themselves lost

10:13 pm

We don't do fireworks except at Halloween and the city puts on shows on our Independence Day

10:19 pm

i'm currently using Iams Multi-Cat for the dry. But agreed, lots of corn out there.

Hill's/science diet maintenance is chicken and rice, and Evo makes a sweet potato based cat food if you need something with no corn.
