12:10 am

Hi pav!!!

very busy night here. our spectrum held final show tonight, i have some fine memories - saw james taylor, carok king, he eagles, springstten twice there as well as hockey and bball

12:22 am

It was lovely down here, too, Jill -- for a change. Last Halloween was just dreadful, weather-wise

12:23 am

that's too bad, flosey -- maybe you're like us and the ruralness just doesn't lend itself to even trying much?

12:23 am

I need help with the two O words please, just not getting either one.

12:23 am

yes stid, neighbours are too far apart here, just thought the new kids might come over

12:24 am

12:24 am

Hello Diane I saw that you are on the grid this morning. How's Lenny and the boys?

4:54 am

Hi Marc - happy to say everyone is well and that things are going good. How about you and yours?

Everyone is great. As I remember HK is nice this time of year, correct?

4:56 am

It is lovely - the humidity is way down, sun shine but not as hot - dining outside is great this time of year!

How is David? His daughter must be around 20 by now.

4:57 am

David is realy good. He just bought a house. His daughter will be seventeen this coming spring.

Wow. Is he back in HK or still in Australia?

4:58 am

He is still in

4:59 am

He is still in Australia - he now has dual citizenship. He occasionally flirts eith the idea of relocating but I don't think he will. Life is good for him right now - single guy living at the beach - what can be bad?

That's great.

Please give Lenny and David my best. You know I never met Mark.

5:01 am

I will do that Marc. Our Marc lives in L.A. and is very involved with our business. He is a very creative man. E-mail Lenny when you have timeand he will give you some interesting new. Got to go make dinner. Take care.

OK I forgot that you spelled Marc's name correctly. I will email Lenny today.

Afterglow I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one. I'd like to leave an afterflow of smiles when life is done. I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways. Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. I'd like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun. Of happy memories that I leave when life is done.

7:30 am

happy birthday annie!

7:32 am

Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die.

7:32 am

12:47 pm

LOL perhaps, ch! I know that I slacked off yesteday completely, but am not overly worried about getting ready for the coming week. I have a handle on what we are doing now.

12:47 pm

how are you book sales going?

12:48 pm

or... YOUR book sales. I have been up since 7, and wasn't sleeping well since about 3 am. sleep dep isn't helpful when typing.

12:49 pm

A small and steady increase each month, so that's good. The reviews are very positive, and the feedback is what I hoped --- that people are finding value and support, and saving money (of course.)

12:49 pm

Sometimes a note that touches my heart, from some readers who have been homeless, unemployed, single parent, etc --- which I was at one time, and which I talk about in the book.

12:51 pm

Stid, is your trouble sleeping due to school or health? Hope you are okay.

12:57 pm

(Stid, it's okay -- I'm guessing Babble crashed on you again, as it did a few minutes ago.) I'll BBL :)

Hi there! Stuck since earlier at 12 words to go. Wasn't going to get back into it but now that I look over and see that YOU'RE here, Stid, how could I not say hello?

Oops, teach me to scan instead of read... no Stid. Hi Ch1212!

Or possibly not... I see a BBL...

If anyone turns up I'd deeply appreciate a clue for the an5, even though like the ac5 I just found it's likely to be such a normal word I actually DO slap myself with a fish...

1:05 pm

an + not pro

Ahhh, thank you very much!

1:06 pm

Hi BR, monkey and anyone else lurking :)

Hi Kaz!

1:07 pm

Hello

Could I get a clue for either ni?

Found the 5...

Oops, and the 6. Never mind.

1:12 pm

how's walter doing?

1:12 pm

back looking for the ob6, anyone?

1:13 pm

Hi everyone.

Walter went to bed with a fever of 38.6 and the cough, but he's not worse or anything. Still none of the "danger" symptoms. He did eat a little dinner, first he ate all day, and he's staying hydrated for me, good boy that he is. Than kyou for asking.

The 06 clue coming up...

1:14 pm

Hi, just working on the grid.

1:14 pm

hope it breaks tonight for him. gotta go get laundry, just saw you on and wanted to ask. *poof*

Like to countermand something said in court ("I ******!") but change the J.

Thank you. Happy laundry!

wtg monkey

1:19 pm

thx for the ob6 monkey!

1:19 pm

Hi Monkey, just loooking up the tide tables. Evidentally the low tides and high tides are exactly opposite what my husband wants. Hmmm. Maybe on the other side of the world they are perfect.

1:19 pm

need any clues?

1:19 pm

Fireworks, good Monkey!!

1:20 pm

I could use some clues for the bottom i's - don't have a one!

1:20 pm

Gosh everyone's amazing today. Congrats o all.

Thanks, folks. What's he need the tides to be opposed FOR?

Bottom I clues coming up...

One in4 means something about something, something one can learn about something.

1:21 pm

in6 = whole

1:21 pm

pTo pull the row boat out with the davit winch. It has to be floating close to the bulkhead. It's an engineering problem.

Oh dear. I confess that goes beyong the in4 at my disposal...

1:22 pm

clue please for the co 7/32??

co+tirade+vowel.

in+ railroad **e

1:23 pm

Good clues Monkey. ty

Aww shucks.

1:27 pm

Thanks for the i clues - now have 3 of the 5 and will work on the rest

1:28 pm

Hi, Monkey! I'm so glad I stopped in to see you - haven't seen you here for a long while

Let me know if you need more i clues. One is a Babblet, so's you know.

1:28 pm

so sorry to hear about the loss of your grandfather

Yes, JBV, things have been... well, not at their best. But here I am. Good to "see" you!

Thank you.

1:29 pm

Thanks, Monkey. Here's a dumb question - what's a Babblet? Don't have all the buzz words down yet!

It's a word that shows up a LOT.

Not at all a dumb question-- I had to ask too, when I was new here.

1:30 pm

I am just reading about the loss of your Grandfather. You have my condolences also.

Thank you. To say he was a good man would be a shocking understatement. I always called him every Sunday so Sundays always throw me for a loop righjt now. I keep thinking I'll tell him this or that when I call...

1:31 pm

Thanksk, Monkey. I'm just missing the 1st in4/4

1:31 pm

that is a hard adjustment

1:32 pm

I call my mother every Sunday also. She is in a care center because her needs are well beyond that which a couple of people can provide. She has good days and bad days. Today was a good day so I am quite pleased.

1:32 pm

Got it !

in + rail**ad tie

1:32 pm

I am glad Granny had a good day!

1:32 pm

monkey, don't you have a cousin or relative who studies endangered languages? I was thinking of you when I read about a linguist studying in Greenland

1:33 pm

Hi, mama. Did you get the album I sent on Picasa?

1:33 pm

THANKS MONKEYGAMES

That's how it was with Sam too. He was in an excellent facility. There were good days and bad ones. What I am glad about is that the last time I called he was unable to speak but the girl holding the phone said he heard me say I loved him and tried to answer. I'm glad I got to say it one last time when he could hear me.

1:34 pm

Hello Mother, I haven't checked email in a couple hours, was getting my first half work organized and out of my backpack!

did your grandfather live in california

1:34 pm

Well, I think he probably hears you fine now also. That's just my belief system as it is.

That's my aunt Leanne, JBV. She teaches native groups how to restore their own languages from [near] extinction even when there is no living speaker.

1:34 pm

((((Monkey (and Walter by proxy)))))

1:35 pm

I have your Aunt's "How to" book for reinvigorating languages, Monkey!

1:35 pm

well there is someone else just like her working with Inuit in Greenland

Yes, Sudoku, he lived most of his life in San Diego and then moved to Berkeley a few years ago to be closer to my aunt.

STID!!!!!!!!!

1:35 pm

fireworks..not as mean a grid as I first thought!

1:35 pm

There are people like Monkey's Aunt in many places! It is wonderful what they are doing, and sad how much they cannot do.

do you have a sister

1:35 pm

YAY Kaz!

She must know this person, then-- she goes to all teh conferences, and pioneered this program. LLemme hunt up a link, hang on...

1:36 pm

I spose I could look at the list now, down to 19 last night.

1:36 pm

her name is Lenore Grenoble

1:36 pm

Good for you Kazozz! I have almost half the grid words accomplished but better than that is the chatvisiting.

Yes, I do have a sister... Do you know my sister???

1:36 pm

Congrats kaz

1:36 pm

rofl... *small world syndrome again*

I think she works for me is her name Miranda sorry to say names

Well, here's a link to a short summary about my aunt...

1:37 pm

stid, speaking of small world - I recently found out that 2 of my favorite babblers are related ! I haven't had a chance to tell you I met Scrab bler!

Dang, sorry to disappoint you, but that isn't my sister's name.

Oh NEAT, JBV!

1:38 pm

what fun! I hope the cousin in in good spirits? I know the H1N1 is being really hard on her community right now

oh sorry to she lost her grandfather too he couldn't talk and her sister lives out of the states

1:38 pm

Monkey, we had a Babble meet at Dorens house in New Jersey - it was great - Temple Owl, Scrabbler, nrkii, and me

1:38 pm

Okay, that lone o on the left is making me crazy. Help pls. (o's are my enemy.)

1:38 pm

yes and I met her sister, too, stid

i really meant sorry too

We think Walter might have it too, Stid...

1:38 pm

O on left is o4/4 (very fishy)

1:39 pm

she has two sisters... the one with the boys?

1:39 pm

oh dear Monkey, that explains the "fever talk" that was scrolling off the screen as I came in.

1:39 pm

oh I don't know about the boys- she's a pharmacist

1:39 pm

ty stid

1:39 pm

*sending healing thoughts to Walter and his family*

1:39 pm

any time hego

We're not sure, of course. Could just be regular flu. But we're keeping an eye out for the worser symptoms just in case.

1:40 pm

I hope it's not serious, Monkey - best wishes to you and Walter

Thank you, Stid. So far it isn't scary, just really bad flu, but he's got a couple of the hallmarks so we're paying close attention.

1:40 pm

around here apparently the regular flu is worse than normal, so do keep your eyes open!

Thanks, JBV, just high fevers and cough, nothing really scary.

Yes, bad year for viral strains. Or good year I guess, if you look at it from the viral point of view...

1:41 pm

I am having terrible lag on my computer, not sure why. anyone else having trouble with the chat upload?

Not so far, Stid, but it's not all that unusual.

1:41 pm

*grin* sure, it's good for the microbes!

Some biologist once made a case for all of creation being intended soloely to support the bizarre life cycle of the horsehair worm... the same could be said for virii, I guess.

1:42 pm

Stid, how are things going along with your classes?

1:42 pm

Yes, very herky jerky over here mama.

1:43 pm

cute, Monkey (but I don't think so, I think it was invented just for ME)

They're good at what they do anyway, for what it's worth. Like sharks. Or mold.

1:43 pm

well JBV, pretty well except Friday when a classmate got very hostile toward me and I left early.

1:43 pm

Yes, mama the world does revolve around you.

Of COURSE it was, Stid! Of course it was.

1:43 pm

rofl...

1:44 pm

otherwise, I had a stellar week and struggled successfully with all the concepts.

1:44 pm

oh dear, stid, how terrible - does he think he's in junior high school?

YAY!

Yay about the stellar week, I mean, Boo about aggressive dweeb.

1:45 pm

I don't really understand what happened. I was confused about something and wanted to work on my own in our small group -- he walked away and was very upset to find me participating when he came back. I was not good about de-escalating the situation.

1:46 pm

deescalating is a skill good teachers work at developing, stid - probably best to work it out with the whole group

1:46 pm

It's a learning experience, right? I think it was partly a cultural thing on my part, possibly an assertion of dominance thing on his part, and perhaps a bit of end of the week tiredness for both of us.

1:47 pm

brb

1:47 pm

Yes JBV, I am going to work with the faculty and some of the other students to figure out how to get better at this.

That's very diplomatic of you Stid-- I have never seen you be other than reasonable though, so is it not possible that he's just a jerk?

I had a similar experience getting my degree, a group report Gone Horribly Wrong...

1:48 pm

well, with most of the program ahead of you, working it out is the best short and long term solution.

1:48 pm

that has occurred to me also Monkey, but I think a good teacher and colleague needs to be able to defuse things like that anyway.

OK, you got me there. But if the other party is working against conflict resolution, sometimes there really is no out except to just walk away, at least temporarily.

1:49 pm

that, and I intend to avoid working with this individual in the future as much as possible. We don't have to be friendly, just not antagonistic.

That worked in my group report situation... I just found ways to work on other teams whenever possible. It was some sort of non-meshing thing going n. I admit to some residual bitterness though, even now.

1:50 pm

Well, enough for me now. Have a good rest of your day and November!

1:51 pm

I understand that, Monkey -- sometimes that chemistry just isn't going to change.

1:51 pm

(((Mother))) nice to see you here.

You too Stidgmere!

For the record I now get on OK with the main problem person from those days... but we don't work together so maybe that's a factor.

1:52 pm

yes, time makes many things better.

It's true. I now even have a decent relatonship with my mom. I recommend emmigration to the other side of the Atlantic and then 10 years of minimal contact as a sort of breather. Worked great!

1:53 pm

*grin* but I have another 21 months in this program! LOL

Hmmm.... Nothing for it but be yourself and damn the opposition!

Remember you're in a microcosm. Things are different on the Outside, I've learned since getting that degree in January and shedding the shackles...

1:55 pm

that's my plan. I suspect it has more to do with my being unafraid to be a woman with opinions than with my opinions, to be honest... *feminist side showing* an opinionated woman with a pink computer...

1:56 pm

good point, Monkey. But I have run into people like this in other venues. It's one of those things I shall need to learn to cope with.

Yes, that throws people off, I know. Someone who interporets being able to have any color computer one likes as also meaning it's OK to have a feminine side...

You're rigt of course, stid. I lucked out with the temp job I just had by NOT dealing with all that microcosm crap, but I'm pretty scared about the possible results of tomorrow's job interview. What if I en up on the set of The Office or something? Shudder!

1:57 pm

that's me, a feminine feminist, a stay-at-home strong-willed woman... *wonders if they make pink army boots*

1:58 pm

interview? *Makes large note on master list* I'll be thinking of you~!

Me too. I'm a tomboy feminist rebel nonconformist type who stayed athome raising my baby boy for three years, shopping and cooking...

1:58 pm

now down to 14 and definitely listing.

Thanks, Stid! It's for a secreterial positipon at a dental prosthetics lab.

1:59 pm

you, nonconformist? *confused look* I NEVER guessed!

I listed at 18. So you're in good enough company.

I hope that is sarcasm...

2:00 pm

*innocent look* sarcasm? moi? *wicked mama grin*

Hee hee. I should hope you'd have recognized me as a Total Weirdo.

2:01 pm

*proudly wearing pink weirdo badge*

Mine is of course some hard-to-identify color, but with a holographic sort of feel.

2:02 pm

brb kid time

You bet.

2:04 pm

okay back

Cool, just found this in the description of the job I'm interviewing for tomorrow: "Je zal veel te maken krijgen met de algemeen directeur Ate de Jong. Ate is een heel prettige en aangename man die zeer benaderbaar is en voor veel vragen bereikbaar is." That sure is a plus!

I think he's conducting my interview.

2:05 pm

What is ATe? I don't understand all the vocabulary describing the director, but you report directly to that position, I think?

2:05 pm

hi, i'm back - i'm sure we would agree with you monkey, if we could read that quote

2:06 pm

"benaderbaar" makes me think of the Berenstain Bears...

2:06 pm

Ate is his name, right?

By the way, Stid, when clicked on your profile pic is ENORMOUS... but since you're pretty it's OK.

2:06 pm

oh dear, I loaded the wrong one. thanks for telling me. It's proably why I have such lag here. brb

Yes, that's his name. That says I'll be working a lot with the general director, and that he is a relaxed and approachable man whoo is ready to answer any and all questions.

2:07 pm

thanks - sounds good, monkey, good luck tomorrow

Thanks! I want to saty on at the FABULOUS place I've been working, but there's no pla=ce for me so now I have a call-up contract. But I'm really sad at leaving the fulltime position there. It's been SO great there!

I just worked 11 weeks at the Netherlands Institute for War Documentation.

2:08 pm

yep, I think that was it!

Oh cool! Glad Imentioned it, then.

2:09 pm

sounds intriguing, is this about World War II?

2:09 pm

thanks for the translation, Monkey

Yes, it's an archive and research institute about the Netherlands in WWII and any peripheral events (like the colonies).

2:10 pm

my last A is hte AN 5. help please?

2:10 pm

that explains the film crews! always looking for experts...

I'm sad enough to be leaving as to be seriously depressed. If I get the dental job then I can't go back there fiull time if something opens up.

2:11 pm

happy november first, can ya believe it?

One moment, stid...

2:11 pm

hello onyx! glad to have made it through this far in the year!

an + not pro, as BabRab put it when I asked.

Hi Onyx!

2:11 pm

an + pros and ***s

2:11 pm

gah. I always forget that babblet. thanks

Me too.

2:12 pm

TEN to go!

2:12 pm

how fishy is the CO 7 if I have most of the rest?

2:12 pm

go, go, go , stid - if you need clues, ask away

I *was* going to take the dog out but I can't leave now...

2:12 pm

not fishy - it's babbly

Really not fishy, stid. Odd word.

2:12 pm

fall is my favorite time of year, glad to be here too one more go round

2:13 pm

hmmmmm...... *thinking*

Fall is very nice here, if you ignore the whipping, soul-scouring winds.

2:14 pm

help..... What is the first No word? Can't believe I am stuck!

Where I'm sitting these days, by the way, the dog can walk up behind me and shove her head under my arm and lick my nose. It can be distracting.

2:14 pm

I am not fond of wind, but I do like the changing colors, and the sense that it is okay to slow down a bit.

2:14 pm

maybe you should take dog out, Monkey, I'll probably still be here when you get back.

2:14 pm

norc

2:15 pm

first no 4 is an italian grandmother name

The colrs here ar egreat. But if you don't do wind come in summer. My husband, weighing as he does 105 pounds, also does not do wind-- so I walk the dog a lot.

2:15 pm

It's 12 pm ellen

She's eating now Stid, it's OK. Just want to be done and upstairs in 45 minutes.

2:15 pm

no wonder he looks so skinny monkey!!!!

2:15 pm

fall is so subtle here in california you'd miss it if you don't pay attention. i like the change in colors

2:15 pm

Sorry that's later

Yes, it's because he IS skinny!

I agree, Onyx. I grew up in California. Seasons, once you go wher ethey happen, are quite interesting.

2:16 pm

I haven't been that weight since I was ten years old...

2:16 pm

or maybe I was nine.

Me neither, Stid.

The DOG weighs more than my husband. But he's taller than me.

2:17 pm

No, the no before before 12pm

2:17 pm

what kind of dog would that be?

2:17 pm

well, he sounds like a regular Ichabod Crane to me!

2:17 pm

Ellen, you want the word for italian granny

Ellen, No + **me.

That would be a Great Dane.

2:18 pm

start with opposite of yes, and a a nonsense syllable, sha-**-**-**

2:18 pm

still need help on the co 7 please

112 pounds. The dog, that is.

co+tirade+vowel

2:19 pm

thanks Monkey! got it!

2:19 pm

ni6 anyone pls.

2:19 pm

down to 6 now

Funny you say Ichabod Crane... he does tend to the "bah humbug" at times...

Ni6: like an acid, but with an ending other that "ic".

ni6 would be a good name for an anti-louse medication...

2:20 pm

Thanks monkey

Sure thing.

2:21 pm

hi all!

2:21 pm

*culture question* are dutch people very serious? just thinking about that distant side of my family, they all seemed very earnest.

2:21 pm

hey nrk!

2:21 pm

tirade? is that a 3-letter tirade?

2:21 pm

IN 6 please?

2:22 pm

in6 = still in one piece

Yes, they do tend to a very dedicated sort of approach, even to partying. It's a calvinist + WWII thing. It's interesting. We should get into it oin the phone sometime. E-mail me your number; I can get a cheap deal to call the states.

2:22 pm

help with top row O please

4-letter tirade. ra4 to be exact.

2:22 pm

gah. thanks nrk.

2:22 pm

firewords on a fish!!!!

YAYYYYY!!!!!!

2:22 pm

yay stid!

2:23 pm

ah, I was thinking "fit"

Which O is from where?? Hang on, clue pending...

2:23 pm

Thanks all I finally got it . The grandma did it! Merci!

2:23 pm

Monkey, I am really happy we had a chance to touch base! Are you ever on when Sprite is? I keep missing her.

2:23 pm

YAY stid!!! Hi gang!

2:23 pm

de rien, Ellen Jean. Glad it helped.

2:23 pm

hey jill! cute icon

2:23 pm

hi jilli

Ahhh yes, "I ob****!" in court, change J.

2:24 pm

stid, I love that pic of you and hubby

I don't "see" Sprite as much as I'd like to, Stid. I should call her soon.

2:24 pm

nrkii, you're here!

2:24 pm

I think you're looking at the one I used last night, stid. I've changed it, and the writeup so maybe a refresh will find it?

2:24 pm

seriously??? I thought of that but didn't think it was a word so my fingers refused to type it

2:24 pm

thanks nrk, that was a nice dinner out last week.

Me too, nrkiii. Had to get it clued myself.

2:25 pm

hi hego

2:25 pm

the torch was on SSI???? did you go see it? that is REALLY AWESOME!!!!

2:25 pm

okay, 11 left... is the lickety list up?

Yes.

2:25 pm

Unfortunately it was here in the afternoon while we were playing bridge and I didn't get to see it :(

2:26 pm

what a bummer, jill. I would have ditched bridge... but then that's just me. I took the boys to see the torch years ago, the gym teacher from Mother's school carried it for a leg.

The torch came past the front gate when I lived with my grandparents in La Jolla. We stood out there with a hose and sprayed (no, NOT the torch!) the heat-exhausted marathon runners as they went by. They were grateful.

That was for the Los Angeles olympics.

2:28 pm

cool, Monkey -- it was raining when the torch came here, no worries of heat exhaustion! That was for Salt Lake's games I think.

2:28 pm

I'm sure there will be lots of picture in the local weekly paper on Wednesday.

Where are you again?

2:29 pm

near Olympia, Washington.

2:29 pm

The thing about bridge is there are four people involved so one can't exactly ditch it!

Oh, right. I forget stuff, you know?

2:29 pm

you could maybe have set a card table up on the route? LOL

2:29 pm

Monkey -- nice picture of you!

2:30 pm

Very funny, stid.

2:30 pm

I know only too well, Monkey. The last 5 weeks I have felt as if I forget more than the content we are supposed to be learning.

2:30 pm

oh, I'm obviously not in a babble-brain state today... I got an4, but missed et4!

2:30 pm

I didn't see et 4 until I listed, too.

2:30 pm

but I got ob 6 without difficulty. My brain is weird right now.

It DOES that to one, Stid! OK, the repeated insinuation of a dog's head between me and the screen with accompanying tossing-upward of my right arm is getting hard to discount. I'd better sign off for the night and get her out to "water" the patch of grass in the parking lot. Have fun al. It was great to "see" you Stid!

2:31 pm

fireworks!

2:31 pm

later Monkey!

2:31 pm

YAY nrk!

2:31 pm

bye monkeygames!

YAY NRKII!!! And *poof*.

2:32 pm

and I should be getting back to my books... need to leave in two hours for the weekly sitting in the car session...

2:32 pm

Monkey, that's so Dane-ish!

2:32 pm

YAY nrkii!!!

2:32 pm

((hugs all)) see you-all again soon! *poof*

2:32 pm

sitting in the car session?

2:32 pm

I'm off to find my second lunch... crackers not sufficing

2:32 pm

bye!

2:33 pm

this grid has SO many babblets in it!

2:33 pm

(I wait in the car while the kids have their rehearsals, Jill -- I study and read) *repoof*

2:34 pm

bye nrkii -- bon appetit!

2:34 pm

thanks, stid!

2:37 pm

anyone have a clue for the first fr5/16, not the "not behind"?

2:37 pm

Or am I alone here?

2:38 pm

Same as fr 4 But keep going one more

2:50 pm

I still need the o on the left in the middle.

Lol again!

2:58 pm

It was the ac5 I needed.

2:58 pm

Hego are you using a PC or a Mac?

2:58 pm

pc jill

2:58 pm

You could get BabbleExpert -- make things easier and faster

2:59 pm

I'll look into it.

2:59 pm

all you have to do is email Lickety and he will send it to you for free

3:00 pm

Oh, thanks Jill

3:00 pm

it puts everything on one page and has a box where if you type one word it goes into his list as well as your Word List, and if you type more than one word it goes into the chat.

3:01 pm

It sounds good Jill. I'll do it for sure. Thanks again.

3:02 pm

Hello everyone, I have been absent for over a year due to my husband's dissected Aortic aneurism. Less than a 2% chance to make it, but he did. Now I am caretaker, so don't have much time to babble. Hope to do more. Rumplestiltskin

hi everyone. Just need one to finish. co5/12 not the pastel crayon

7:34 pm

never mind-just saw it in the log....thanks!

7:34 pm

I just got that thanks to ibdawger and torgone!

7:34 pm

co6 = a Mexican beer

7:36 pm

Feeling strong anyone? I need the fr5. the first one.

7:36 pm

an egg dish, fr***ata

7:37 pm

whooo hoooooo EVA!!

7:41 pm

Well, I think this one has me. Thanks for all your help. Now to the game!

7:42 pm

bye, stidgmere. enjoy the game

7:53 pm

hello!

7:53 pm

hi jilli

7:53 pm

have I just missed stidge?

7:53 pm

yes, she's gone to watch the ball game

7:54 pm

I was hoping to catch her for a change :(

7:55 pm

I'm going to watch the game too, but does anyone need clues?

7:58 pm

back all...checking in...everyone done? ;)

7:59 pm

BTW, another bit of good news for us -- the pro Coldwater Surfing gold in Tofino, BC, went to a local boy over some surprised Aussie pros <big beaming smirk>

8:00 pm

well done, jilli!!! ;)

8:00 pm

well, I didn't actually DO it, pini, lol!

8:01 pm

And the Olympic flame went there today too.

8:01 pm

No, but you're sharing your exciting local news! :)

8:01 pm

You can pass the kudo's on to the winners if you like! * wink *

8:02 pm

well, it's good to have good things happen :)

8:02 pm

Yes, I saw your profile...but (*pout*) you didn't see it because you were playing bridge...

8:02 pm

I'm sorry about that!

8:03 pm

I know what you mean...

8:03 pm

no offense, pini, but no apostrophe in kudos.

8:03 pm

It's actually a singular Greek word!

8:04 pm

...the US Olympic Track and Field trials were held here on the campus where I work...I just couldn't miss going for a day...

8:04 pm

(I was thinking about that, jilli; I'll try not to correct myself on a doubt)

8:05 pm

And even in the singular were kudo, no apostrophe is needed to make it a plural. The apostrophe would make it a possessive. Here endeth the pain-in-the-neck lesson.

8:05 pm

ROFL...no harm done, jilli...I work for doctors of english at the uni...

8:06 pm

Pini, I couldn't just desert three other bridge players! It was hard enough to find a fourth this time!

8:07 pm

That makes sense, jilli...always tough to find willing victims, I mean partners, for a good card game!

8:07 pm

And btw, pini, my grandson is now doing his Masters at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.

8:08 pm

Oh, congrats, jilli!!!!! That's so exciting!

8:08 pm

Is he liking it?

8:08 pm

I take it you're not a big cards fan, lol!

8:08 pm

Oh, I am, jilli (not bridge tho; I have a hard enough time trying to find cribbage players)

8:09 pm

I think he's loving it, but his girl-friend in Montreal is hating it.

8:09 pm

She's not keen on a long-distance relationship? ;)

8:09 pm

Not a bit!

8:10 pm

She's teaching Creative Writing to first-graders, according to her FB page.

8:10 pm

Poor thing...but if it's meant to be, then she'll hold out until he finishes his degree :)

8:10 pm

I'll bet she having fund getting their imaginations going!

8:10 pm

yes -- if it's meant to be . . .

8:11 pm

They're both almost 31.

8:11 pm

how long have they been "together" so far?

One to go

8:13 pm

you can do it, carol!

8:14 pm

I think they celebrated their third anniversary a while ago. When grandson mentioned that, old-fashioned me said "Anniversary of what?" "Um," said grandson, "of when we hooked up." How romantic.

8:14 pm

ROFL

8:14 pm

too cute ;)

8:15 pm

hooked up, sounds like he got cable! lol

8:15 pm

One could extrapolate from that, lbd, lol!

8:15 pm

...and here I was thinking "hooked up" as in IVs

8:15 pm

yeah, i thought i'd leave it at that! lol

8:17 pm

I need to check my email...brb

8:17 pm

*waggling head*

8:17 pm

toodles, pini -- I hafta go too -- back at fliptime, I hope.

8:18 pm

8:26 pm

i can imagine, but at least you got pictures!

8:26 pm

8:26 pm

I won't post the other until you get at least one of yours, lbd!

8:27 pm

8:27 pm

8:29 pm

8:32 pm

8:33 pm

lol, oh he's just waiting to be made into a pie!

8:34 pm

oh yeah...and he wasn't very happy about it!...but it was cute! :)

8:34 pm

but he doesn't look unhappy.

8:35 pm

...if you could only see him up close! :)

Love the pic pini

8:35 pm

thx carol ;)

8:35 pm

he was probably thinking, "ma, i don't wanna sit in here"

If we could only read their minds

8:36 pm

if only!

Then again, we might not want to know

8:37 pm

gooo goooo waaa omph mwodfwof

8:38 pm

that translates to, feed me, i'm sitting in pooh

8:38 pm

hands lbd a cracker (and a plastic bag)

8:38 pm

...don't forget "don't disturb me while I'm sleeping, but you'd better hear me when I yell!"

8:38 pm

hi ru!

Good night all.

8:39 pm

oh and there's the "you're not mommy!"

8:39 pm

8:40 pm

tonight's grid is going to be smallish too

8:40 pm

why do you say that, Ru?

8:40 pm

I can't pass up sharing a great b/w!

8:41 pm

8:41 pm

I borrowed Pini's tin foil hat and I am picking up the grids waves...

8:41 pm

8:42 pm

here's the catch to it, lbd....it was taken with a cell phone!

8:42 pm

really a nice pic!

8:42 pm

what

8:43 pm

the few pics i've received from male born child, have been from his cell. they were pretty good pics.

8:43 pm

I posted a b/w icon, ru...you need to refresh to see it?

8:43 pm

I'm learning that some cell pics are better than using a camera!

8:44 pm

have to take a walk actually.. see you guys later.

8:44 pm

8:44 pm

8:44 pm

8:45 pm

oh no, ru!

8:46 pm

i hate changing times. really messes up the system

8:46 pm

oh yes.. at least it wasn't a slaughter

8:46 pm

I think that may be what is wrong with me .. the time change.

8:46 pm

Our saturday game was good, ru...we beat USC!!!

8:47 pm

Oregon is hot.. unbelievable.

8:47 pm

oh, yeah * doing the happy dance *

8:48 pm

USC is a really good team too...

8:48 pm

hope he realises, and comes back for the new grid

11:07 pm

it needs to be fixed up for change in time

Hey Mr PRes

OH and Rose the other reason appart from too hot is the teacher gives me a headache

11:11 pm

* giggle * hey mrp, just sent l/s an email.I'm coming down off the oxycodone nicely, and am trying to walk as much as possible.

11:12 pm

walking with a cane, not the frame!!!!

yah Rose

11:13 pm

omg, herin, i forgot, i booked a motorised chair for last friday, and forgot to cancel...

opps

oh well

11:13 pm

We recently had a new neighbour call the local council office to request the removal of the Kangaroo sign on our road. The reason: 'Too many kangaroos are being hit by cars out here! I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.'

11:14 pm

rofl, mrp

ok did this person then realise how dumb they sounded

11:14 pm

hi rose, good to hear you are up and about! best way to heal!! hi infern

I swear i am waiting for something to explode in my house. I can hear a beep every now and then but cant see the source of the sound

11:15 pm

* sings * folks are dumb where i come from......

11:16 pm

herin, does your fridge beep, could the door be ajar?

no

11:17 pm

hmmm, mobile going flat, maybe not yours?

I have no idea. I thought it was my phone its not that as i turned off the bleepy thingies and its not a lap top and its not the smoke alarm

11:17 pm

It is like asking for 'minimal lettuce' at MacDonalds and being told "sorry, we only have iceberg lettuce here"

MrPres I deal with stupid all day at classes

11:17 pm

oh dear, mrp, please say that's not true.

11:17 pm

the beep is probably the batteries in the smoke alarm dying... it beeps to 'insist' you change the battery

Did you know that a memo and a memo report are the same thing

11:18 pm

huh?????

Yep a memo and a memo report are the same thing. At that point I lost my sanity

11:19 pm

who ??

11:19 pm

hey babblers, is it just me, or are there really 41 minutes left til flip?

Girl in my class said this even though our book has different examples

Yes Gort day light savings.

11:19 pm

yep gort, time changed in USA

11:19 pm

mayhap she can't read, poor thing.

11:19 pm

really? who's trying to save daylight?

Might we add this is the same girl that phoned a friend as she was lost even though we have the same class every week

11:20 pm

oh the americans, of course

11:20 pm

not me , gort, still got plenty here ;)

11:20 pm

they got rid of some from their evenings and moved it to their mornings

Or Maybe she is a dumb blonde and should go and do a non thinking course

11:20 pm

i try to spend my daylight like a wild thing

11:21 pm

btw, mrp, kudos to you...

11:21 pm

hey mrp, how's the stalker?

11:23 pm

mrp: i saw you at the centre of a chog conflict the other day and i thought you handled it graciously

11:23 pm

anyway, gotta go and iron the socks and rinse out the children, or some domestic thing, see ya later

11:24 pm

later, gort

11:24 pm

thanks gort! I quite simply apologised but still get shit from the ill-mannered queens of babble

11:24 pm

bye, gort

11:24 pm

bye gort

11:24 pm

stalker was served rose!

11:29 pm

made you smile, tho'

11:30 pm

oh, of course, that's what you meant....humming, folks are dumb....

11:33 pm

Seems to me people are getting Daylight Saving Time and Standard Time mixed up. In North America we have just changed from Daylight Saving (Summer) time to Standard (Winter) time, which means it now gets dark an hour earlier. I HATE Standard Time.

HI OSGMA
