(wart needs some help and I'm a PC)
wart? TE 5 and a 10?
thank you pinic
gnight all
mlf yup
I am leaving with 50 words
I use the almost circle at the end of the web name
I'm a Mac OS X 10.3, using firefox, and i het the refresh button.
ten points i mean
by DR!
wart oh thanks
melon, where's that button - i use safari
* SNore*
I just reload the page in the browser, Pinikula. Safari or Firefox doesn't matter
pini. I'm a mac and I do no know -- sure would love to. Usually, I change to another site then bach to babble, or even do a restart
if you're using a browser, there should be an icon (probably one next to your "home" icon) that looks like rotating arrows? that's a refresh icon ;)
saan can you do a right click
on most browsers, the "refresh" button is next to the address bar, usually on the right. It's also usally right next to the "stop" button, which is usu. a red x.
MLF, no; just one.
"Refresh" will look like a circle of arrows, or two arrows pointed at each other, similar to the "recycle" sign.
saan right click your cursor see fi you get a pull down menu
(P.S. address bar is the box where it says http:www.playbabble.com) Does this help?
THank you! You guys totally rock! Inever knew what that athing was!
it worked!
;)
yhanks pinic
<should no better, luddite
MFL What do I click for the menu?
warthog, sorry I didn't answer I was lost in the grid! Glad you got good answer from other more astute babblers!
look to see if it says refresh somewhere on it
saan, what browser are you using?
ab10- have you called it already?
fa
oh oh ba4 = to throw up
no jae did u find it?
nice find, frances ;)
barfs
er...jae
MP please dont give clues
doggone it I must be tired sorry
saan, you're using a mac, right? so you only have one mouse button. "right-click" is for PCs, it won't work on your computer.
Sorry - in lurk mode. Good moring.
Ever since I have been playing babble (a while now) I have heard everyone refer to "refresh" and I swaer I have looked everywhere for such a thing! Actually, switching to another site and then back to Babble always works, except for the babble-leading time. And thank you!
Hi frances
i havent used a MAC in years so even i didnt know that lol
some MAC mice don't have any buttons, some allow you add pressure to the left or right side though to get a mouse "button" effect
gj jae i am stilllooking for it
mine is old old old It's the "hockey puck"!
did someone call the 10? is it an ab?
i had a MAC ...loved it
saan, which browser are you using?
from the first batch or IMACs
yes cyber someone called and yes its an ab i ahvent found it
it is, na
safari
like HOC said...is there an icon near the end of the address bar that has rotating or reverse green arrows (next to a red X)?
Unfortunately I live in an area with no cable and very slow telephone, some are still on dial-up. So my options are limited.
Red X?
near the end of the address bar?
I wonder if it is related to the ab 7
ooh, NBT!
well done, rbud!
saan i had dial up when i first moved to where i am ..i think i have seen turtles move faster then that dial up cnnection did lol
taDah rbud!
cyber is the AB 7 the A on the far right?
it is relatd, nan.
yes
thanki you cyber
phantom: ointment
Hi MLF, just checked "help" on my computer for refresh, no match. I'm OK with the way I do it now. And I remember waiting 45 minutes for a copy of the first Mars landing!
falling asleep at 71, NBT - got the 10, too. nite, all!
{poof}
oh joy saan lol
saan, if you want to pursue "refresh", you're more than welcome to email me (addy in profile)
mixi I called that phantom! ;)
nite melonhead.
got the 10!!! woot woot!
nite! {repoof}
no fair pini lol
oops maybe you put it in my head. I have 85 so far.
;)
THANK YOU Pini!
i am stopping at 63 bye
night mlf ;)
yvw saan
ah -- got it -- ty
hi saan: I did some googling, and found out that they moved the refresh button in safari! go to this address (http://www.pissedoffuser.com/2009/07/ safari-refresh-button.html) to find a picture of where this button is on your browser. It looks like a decoration, but it's really a button.
sorry for clogging up the chat, everyone. last "refresh" post, I promise!
mass yawn hysteria--I'm off too. Good night, sleep well everyone!
I'd best hit the hay myself...night all!!! :)

Good morning/day to all.
hi Scrabs
hey scrabs!
Where have you been, littlebit?
working and lurking!!
how are you?
I lurk sometimes too
I am busy at work---sick season and lots of H1N1 illness + anxiety from parents
i don't ahve a teacher's meeting this morning so i have an extra 1/2 hour... woohoo!
i can understand that...busy!
Yay for extra Babble time!
yeah, i'm over 1/2way done!!
Do you have supply of the swine flu shots Scrabs?
Go littlebit go!
Some but not sufficient, Lynxxx. We get allotted some every week.
Realistically I think that most local kids have already been infected or exposed. Two wks ago was peak illness. We hope the local epidemic is passing.
That must make it very hard
good morning all. We have no seasonal flue vaccine in Vermont at present. Very difficult. They say more is coming, but no one seems to know when.
Two local kids have died in the last 3 wks. It's very sad to think that if the vaccine could have been given before school started, say in August, how much illness could have been prevented.
Hi Eva.
Have there been many deaths in the US assoc with the swine flu?
114 kids so far. I last reviewed the CDC web site yesterday. www.cdc.gov
Hi Eva. Very sad Scrabbs
and off to wirk i go with 70 left to find. bbl and have a great day all!!
bye Littlebit
It is very sad. Do you have any idea Scrabbs, how different that is from a regular flu season. Is it mainly that the mortality it hitting the young instead of th old?
Bye Littlebit
cant even get my kid a shot till neae end of month now,but he has been barking for over a week and keeps running low grade fevers,so its kink of like closing the barn door after the horses have go out
Our deaths seemed to be with people with other chronic illnesses - quite often young adults
The young are being hit far more than the old. Secondary bacterial pneumonia seems to be the contributing factor in the seriousness of the illness.
Hi Cross
Hi Crossy--that's exactly what we have said. The barn door opened in Sept so the vaccine is too late now.
and even if you got the shot today,it needs 10 to 15 days to do its thing if im not mistaken
Did they close schools Scrabbs? In our state they closed schools for about a week if there was any cases...seemed to slow it down a bit
Yep, the body needs time to create antibodies
Nope, no plans to close schools as kids will still congregate and when school reopens disease just increases again
I am finding this grid to be quite tricky.
oh no not agaain. wasn't yesterday's tricky enough?
But I just passed halfway so now I must get ready for work. Bye all. Enjoy the day.
Hi Doren! How are you?
hi Dorens
yesterdays had so many obscure words,not babblets per se,but just words that were really out there,that i had to call it a loss half way through
tc scrabbs
90/75---time to go now.
I'm good scrabbs... can even walk without the cane (short distances). have nasty cough, but not flu- how about you?
good morning friends!
oh well, hope your day is good, i know you have a lot of sick little patients.
hi trif
good morning triff
hi Trif
I posted this on FB, but I just have to share - this is why I just adore Primo so much: "mom, can I go into Boston with the guys this Saturday? We want to go to the symphony" yes, yes you can!!!!
Good to hear you are finally getting more mobile Dorens, it seems like it has been many months
yaa for dorens!!
i got tickets to take Phoebe to the Nutcracker in Boston this year
oooh, dorens, have you ever been before?
actually lynxxx it really has been many months. the damage was done aug 31.. i'm still waiting to get back to yoga, that may be more months yet
108 done got 57 to go
Not in Boston tri, the New York Ballet, when i was a kid, when my kids were kids. I'm sure it is a similar experience
any one willing to help with Y?
oh, okay - I am sure it will be spectacular anyway. LOVE the nutcracker!!! Kadresa's oldest girl was Clara one year -- I think we all saw it about 100 times that year!!!
HI Lyn
hi all
good morning jmc!
I think it should be great.. she is only 3, but very bright and good at paying attention... i just can't wait
hi j
It gets harder and harder each time
do with this advice what you want -- I highly recommend telling her the story of the dance before you go - maybe get a book out of the library or something. It really helps when the little ones get the narrative. Also, see if they have booster seats available at the theatre. the wang center in boston has them down by the coat check, and they are WELL worth trudging down to get - they make the seat way more comfy for little ones, who can't always hold the seat down, and thus spend half their time distracted by the seat flipping up on them
also, it lifts them up a bit, so they can see better
sometimes it gets easier -- hang in there ruf
oops- brb
I brought the book up this weekend tri.. and have sent her another addition I found on line last night. She will be well versed in the story.. will look to see about booster seats... it is at the opera house, do you think they have thme there?
ttab
come on dorens if you are going to do that give me something i can use!
sorry j haste makes waste... i really need to get going.. see you later ;)
ab 7 clue please
Into the penalty box Dorens
ab7 to deny yourself something
ty so much lynxx
back from the bus stop. whee.
well j asked me for something she could use, and i was leaving anyway!
mooer is a word, isn't it? "My cow is a better mooer than that one."
hi everyone, just found the 8
hi, Annie
Hello all

Yes a regular word!

hi crossy
15 min
howdy annie;))
help pls with the 8
wow, he is really lucky! I would give anything for us to be able to walk to school safely
having to do with currency, peri
mo8.55 think $$$
mo8 deals with currency
i am grateful thay we live in a town where he can do that:)
ill have his bike fixed tommorow and he can also bike till the snow flies
Cross - you may care to read my profile about PLX4032. Saw updated program on it on the weekend. Sounds wonderful, and potentially for other cancers. Grant McArthur is my oncologist.
has anyone found a word that uses the -tion ending?
reading it now lynxx
the ab10 uses that ending
and the ab10 is the only one
and you lynxx may care to read my profile on human protien folding and its potential to cure many things,including certain types of cancers..we have a babble folding team now;))
ahhh, so it does lynxx - thanks! and your profile is lovely -- how nice to have hope for those without!
will do
thanks lynxxxxie...I read the story in your profile. Sounds very promising. They are making strides in finding a cure.
thanks for the 8
very intresting indeed lynxx,my 3rd and last cancer to date was melenoma
reminds me,time to turn on the protien folding program;)
Grant McArthur saved my life. But it is fantastic to know that there is something even better now in his 'armoury'. If anyone sees Jellen before I do can they get her to read my profile - Thanks
is jellen facing a health concern?
Her fiancee Tim has melanoma
oh no! I hadn't heard that. how awful for them.
did they get it early lynxx?
with me,it was a bunch cut out of my belly:/
Im not certain Cross, first presented on a finger but has come back recently (not sure where/how)
the problem is that even up to 15 years ago,doctors used to commonly try to burn it out
now all that had it initaially burnt out are having big problems
my sons friends dad lost his father last month in just this type of thing
what kind of problems, crossy, please?
Looking at the Folding site Crossy...what actuall is it? looks like downloading software?
he had the initial presentation of melenoma in the arm pit yesr ago,they burnt it out, and when he went for a check up 6 months ago the cancer was all throughout his nide system
lynxx ,just google folding at home download client and read up on it
its quite interesting,it is run by stanford U
it uses yours(and mine) idle computer cycles to fold human protiens
they can do 200 man years of work per month with enough people volunteering thier idle computer cycles
to give you an idea of the scope of the project,they generate 32 gig of information per day,each 32 gig is made up of up to 144,000 work units.my computer averages 3-5 work units per week
last i saw,there were about 6000 computers currently invilved
mornin babblers!
howdy eva
lol,crossy will stop hogging the chog now
how are we today?
eek 12.20 am - off to bed - Night all!

lovely, crossy
be well, nrk
hey crossy - hi and thanks for the link
sabat is a word, or is it usually capitalized in English?
got me, i thought it was a word too
well - half way, and i must take a break and do some actual work. bbl. :-)
isn't it sabot?
i've seen sabat, sabbat, sabbath, sabath, shabbat, shabat, shabbath, shabot, and sabot in various transliterations. Spellcheck in Firefox says that sabbath and sabot are valid.
in case anyone cares, i was quoted in the NYTimes today
though around here, the -ot ending is almost unknown
oh, cool, jmc! Link?
I was thinking the holy day would be capitalized?
and sabot as in wooden shoe
unknown word to me then :) thanks
http://tinyurl.com/yd6tawp
cool, thanks. shall read it later
holy day not capitalized in Ladino or other romance languages, and i've seen it both ways in English
reservation at Mama Ayesha's is set
semitic alphabets/abjabs lack capital leters
yay! how many?
and thank you for that, jmc
10 is the number you gave me -- at 2 p.m.
coolio, thanks :)
Any hints on the mo8?
system dealing with money
good morning, everyone :)
thanks, helens
good morning, nan
thx helens
Howdy, folks! How's the grid today?
it's alright, takuma
hi all
hi, TO
mint
hi, TO. Yes, please!
But I'm not sure how to take the suggestion about my breath
af 6, please?
no help here, nan. I'm off -- good luck all!
af6 - a, liberated, consonant
a + to release + letter that sounds like a drink - lousy clue, I know
but it did the trick -- ty
bye all. happy babbling.
can't believe I missed that quick combo!
be well, TO
ha 7? - know how it starts, but can't monkey the finish
nm -- found it
hello everyone. Cyber is it to move quickly + plural
hello, elder
no -- another one elder
Not happy to see those vowels placed as they are :)
is the 1st one nan? add scarlett's home to your start
Oh, have not got that one - sory.
ty for that one, dippnall
But have now.. thank you Dipp.
J,E, McNeil, I presume??? You are the only female in the article
hello Inge.
*!* ta da *!* -- isn't alphabetical order a wonderful thing?
Hi, everyone. Just looked up the article in the NYT, which quoted JMC
Well done Cyber.
cograts, nan
on what was jmc quoted ?
She gave a link about 15 minutes ago. Gotta go, *poof
Inge why were they quoting jmc.
It sorta relates to Nabil Hasan wanting to leave the military
ahh.. too late .
JMC works for a group tht deals with such orblems
Thanks Inge, will try to find via google
yes, article about how to get out of military, and more important, how/when not to
http://tinyurl.com/ybjult5 is the article
check her profile for more info. Bye

hi i am back a yes that is my name
thanks for the newts dc

oops
Hello Jmc, I am not able to get into the link given below. Is the Paper New York times and the day ?
new york times, today, headline Few Can Avoid Deployment, Experts Say
don't see a link in the profile -- would you post it again please, jmc?
http://tinyurl.com/yd6tawp
now you know i am an Xpert ;-)
did you get it elder?
hi all
hi hego
jmc, you're famous!
Found and read.. interesting points by all including yourself.
:-) *chest puffs out almost to distance of tummy*
lol
Not only an expert in your legal filed and now you are famous, expect call any day from the White House.
'Field'
lol
Jmc you offered two different scenarios for early release and no go if request to leave was a recent request. Well balanced view I thought aside from the legal points.
and then we read further ...other comments , not so concise and reasonable or effective I would add.
hi all!
Hi ata
hello Ata and hego.
how's suffolk, elder?
good points. I have been against this war from the beginning. As much as we may not like their views, or treatment of women and children, I do not think we have any right to force our system of government on another nation. Especially when they have absolutely no concept of true democracy.
at lease we all have the option of not supporting it, it must be so much harder if you're already in the forces
Dark , misty and drab at the moment. But spring will arrive, all being well and earlier the better. :)
must be off -- as someone said earlier, it's time to do some real work! See you at the flip :)
Difficult as one does not want for the troops out there to feel we are angst towards them.
ditto down here. I was on the Isle of Sheppey today, normally we can see over to Essex from there, but today it was a wall of fog!
Bye for now Cyber.
absolutely
*pokes Ata and runs around madly*
eeeeeeeva!!
I think i'ts pretty much the same all down the East coast and the gods know I hate driving in fog :) So many nutters on the roads.
*offers Ata a cake ball as a peace offering*
hello Eva.
only a cake ball? I want a whole cake!
A bit greedy there :)
a cake ball could be very very small ....
Still with the cake balls Eva?
I can hear the noise of stamping feet, Careful Ata you be placed on the naughty step.
sorry phone rang
wb jmc.
it is harder if you are in the military to oppose a particular war
hego. leftover balls. sadly, still half a batch in the freezer waiting for chocolate...
Ata. you havent yet tried cake balls. theyre are chocolate-covered balls of sheer yummy awesomocity.
they sound wonderful!!
they sound like too much sugar for me!
Send them to my house. Hubby is a cake freak.
lemon cake, vanilla frosting, milk chocolate.
Yuuummmmmm!
jmc and I would think its near impossible. We have a serving soldier here who has been AWOl and is refusing to return to the war zone.
vanilla frosting and milk chocolate together *shudders from sugar overload*
Does the ten build off of the 7 before it?
well bless his heart -- it used to be easier in GB -- there was a right to refuse to fight in a particular war
but Tony Blair got rid of it
it is related but does not exactly build off it
I love lemon cake, chocolate cake , banana cake, fruit cake... actually don't think there is a cake do not like.:) Looks down at waist and sighs.
the 10 that is
tx jmc
elder we can have a belly flapping contest! *flappita flappita*
anything but coffee cake, in the english sense of the thing
I would win ... sadly.:(
I like coffee too... no hope for me :)
im thinking for christmas, im gonna try spice cake with buttercream frosting. some in milk chocolate, some in white chocolate. also red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. some in milk chocolate, some in white chocolate...
Eva you've gone cake crazy.
Not too keen on white chocolate, give me rich and dark and chocolate every time.
well, usually for christmas i make cookies. this year, im thinking cake balls to change it up. :)
i might try an all-chocolate mix with devils food cake, chocolate icing, dark chocolate on the outside.
okay the spice cake sounds good
for christmas I make bourbon balls
Eva if you were nearer it is very likely that the Blighty natives would order directly from you. :)
chocolate cake with chocolate icing inside and on the top. a lot ofoicing
lol ata
fear
oh damn
oh.. those mouth juices are running around...
maybe eva left some cake in the pb
i was also thinking of a strawberry cake with strawberry frosting + white chocolate...
okay i need to do some actual work bbl
I was hoping no one noticed.
Going to jump in the grid... to try and find more words.
None noticed Hego.
in I go...
finally filing for unemployment benefits. hopefully the printer will play nice.
oh, best of luck, DC. dear fiance was dealing with that 2 years about, around this time.
No clues yet but, is the ab 10 a compound word?
thanks, EvaN
no, mel. it's related to the ab7, though
well I dont have that one yet either so will keep looking, thank you =)
I have a good feeling I know the ending on the word, now to get my monkeying skills to kick in lol
hello
hi phaeton
hi, phae
how is everyone's day going?
Going good phae. Just getting into yhe grid
me too, hego
someone say bacon?
NO
well they should have!:)
Do you want bacon Crossy?
lol
just had some ty,im good for a bit;)
Well good
Hm. I think the claim's done. I find the system here in VA so confusing.
Good luck dc
ty, hego
yw
ok. so I have to file on friday, was it horrible or did you do it all online Seain?
i've done it all online
registration was easy
pasting in my resume was a tad confusing
and i'm unclear about what i need to do next online.
*sigh* guess that's something. at least you're up north, here in c'ville the job market is garbage
yes, it's always a bit better here in NoVA (assuming you mean Charlottesville, not Centrevile)
yeah. Centreville wouldn't be that bad! here... well. like everyone says, DIA is coming!
their job listings have no relation at all to my job reality, which makes classifying thins there hard for me.
DIA is coming? Defense Intelligence Agenty?
yah. sometime beginning of next year
done
congrats, phae
ty
oh, DIA is opening in Charlottesville?
occupations by group is easier for searching
yeah they're being relocated. It's been in teh works for a couple years.
nifty. i've known lots of people who work for them. They're a good organization
yeah. hoping the center down here doesn't corrupt em. it's very... inbred. Mostly cause there are no other real options
Anyone have the ba7/36 that has nothing to do with hatches?
More will relocate down there than you think, i'm sure, kc
ba 7 - more ba 4/6 (the third one)
oh I'm sure. There's still going to be plenty of positions. We're looking forward to the influx of new contractors etc.
should be the sixth one
hi br tx
contracting is lucrative with the feds, speaking from experience
I'm aware. thing is, here theres only a few companies. Poeple go from co to co to gov and back... hence the inbred part
It will make you crazy hego
Already there,tx
it's like that here, too, kc, and we have many more pepole
yeah. guess contracting jobs are a lot like that. *Shrug*
there, finally done
that was not as easy as i anticipated.
i not they only require 2 applications a week; used to be 3
do you do that part online? I read something about the resume submission to companies getting reported a bit different.
they want you to upload resume to their site, too
and one may apply other than by telephone, unless telephone is only way the company takes apps
one must enter one's weekly job apps on Sunday online or by phone
interesting. Hopefully this wont be as painful as others have said.
indeed :)
yaa! crossy folded another protien! only 147 million to go(give or take):))
yay crossy!
go, crossy!
the last fa7/40 pls
go crossy I am folding as fast as I can too
i am on ata's team
babble team not my team!
hego, more less lean
BABBLE team then
:)
oh gosh. duh. tx dc
so when it says (215/500) is 500 a protein?
yes, jmc
wait there's one after that dc
That looks more like where I usually am in the grid.
cool
yes jmc
the protiens vary in complexity and size and the total work units involved
and the 8 WU means Babble Team has folded 8 proteins?
lol wht
yes
if anyone in the DC area is interested: http://www.flavortripdc.co m/
if the meat were any fa7, it would be inedible is the last FA7
i used to eat some pretty trippy stuff when i was younger eva
oh, what would I do without seain poor blind woman that I am? ty, ty
*puts flowers in her hair*
nifty, EvaN
mmmmm fat
far out
I love you jmc!
fat - bacon fat reeks horribly when used as a cooking fat.
hellooooooo
Groovy!
bacon fat is yuuummmmmy
someone said bacon
makes the best fried food ever!
deeelicious!
cross you gonna answer my question about 8 WU?
alas, i concur not, jmc
I love you too hego!
I understand dc it is a matter of taste
sorry jmc,i missed it,repeat please
Crossy! Miss you guys
the unusual aspect of this grid is that i have not had to watch my words when chatting
howdy science;0
are 8WU 8 proteins?
hi, science
yes indeed jmc
each 32 gig of info made every day can contain up to 144,000 work units
sooo coool ata we be protein folders 8 times!
i really need the first fa 5 pls (whining inserted)
each computer will average between 3-5 WU,s a week,so we need more folders:)
fa5 ring
this is something I can get competitive about!
yay us :)
ring?
the more computers that come on board,the faster the protiens get folded
hm. more context. fa5 tale
it is the alternate spelling of my nymph looking thing
dont get it
hmmm got itty
ty
The Brother grimms wrote fa5 tales but spelled funny
we may be the generation that unlocks cancer and before you know it,we can just have a cancer antibody shot at burth and we are safe;))
thought i had tried that one before
now missing one f
i want that shot!
i also want one for arthritus, and dementia and altzheimers
then get folding them protiens science;))
what does ha 7/44 mean?
How do I get folding proteins?
google folding at home client,download program and use the pass code in my profile
I iron my proteins and hang them in the closet ..
I'm sure they look very smart
i just let mine pile up
or the code in Ata's profile :)
okay you all what does ha 7/44 mean?
lol torgone..you as well
both are the same dc
if I had it, I could maybe tell you
lol
it is almost like 50 percent of a crown
ah, my bad, crossy
or 50% of the home in Gone with the Wind
If you add an h at the end it's "a portion of the Prophets that is chanted or read in the synagogue on the Sabbath and holy days immediately after the Parashah."
"a portion of the Prophets that is chanted or read in the synagogue on the Sabbath and holy days immediately after the Parashah."
ty tor!
jinx
your a teacher science? get your kids doing this as well,they can have hands on in some very important research with this program
torgone can you clue ha7/44 for me, pls?
I will look later. I teach chemistry not biology
add ms scarlett's home, science
I have the word. Hego needs it
mm,the protien im folding now is a big fat bugger;)) 22/5500
I never saw it spelled like that before.
firewords :)
yaa for dc;))
and i must run. Happy Babbling, yall! :D {poof}
wtg sceain!
b, r, t, 16 left
ba 518 pls
mmm just got my baked potato. With 4 types of mushroom, caramelised onions adn lots of garlic
nice pls a clue for ba 5/18
mmm baked taters....
oh yes. best food ever
when i make them and i want to get fancy,i scoop them out mash the innardsmadd some diced green onoin,bacon bits,then put it back in the tater skins and top with shredded cheese;))

HEY, somebody help science. I don't have that one.
yummmmmmmmm. trying to avoid the cheese thing lol
nm i monkeyed it
avoiding cheese?!! heven forbid!!
Can you clue me science?
I know. really bad news
yes i think I can said the little engine that could.... let's see
yes i think I can said the little engine that could.... let's see
No one else is listening. Potato orgasms.
giving up cheese, you may as well dig a hole in the ground,toss me in and cover me over with tofu
me too. I should say trying to cut down slightly lol, not avoid it!
ba 5/18 - ba a place where one drinks like a pub + sometimes vowel + always vowel
thats better
ty science
LOL Hego! CROSSY are you there? CAN YOU HEAR ME???? HOW IS THE BACON???
lol im here science
Got it tx, science.
10 lefty
left remaining not a lefty
i can read typo science..np;)
Good you said bacon. That might wake him.
I would really, really like to know why arab isn't a word !!!
Yeah!!
capital A
depends on how you use it though.
how would you use it without a capital?
mmm true.
what is the first br 5 pls?????? i cannot see it
oh wait i see it - tis what I am lacking today in my own life LOL
hi everyone, happy babbling
LOL
i like arab and potato soup
as she sings the song from the wizard of oz
if i only had a . . . .
hi crp
imm currently working on a idea for a bacon lasagne;))
ooooooooo!
would someone please tell my staff to leave me alone and let me babble in peace
so how are you cooking those arabs jmc? i am sorry i am giggling
tell my students the same!
7 left
well since rabs are greens i steam them to make arab and potato soup
jmc,next one that bugs you while your babbling,get them to clean the washrooms
go science go
with a toothbrush
5-1/2 hrs until the dc sniper is gone for good!
ooo what a good idea
no that's cooking.....
but the last one was the wonderful volunteer I would hate to drive her off
*now*
lol,they will only clean the washroom if they are on the payroll id imagine;)
jmc is there any relationship between distaste for the death penalty and distaste for the war?
ata - whata are you doing with the toothbrush?
oh i see cleaning the toilets
so if my bubbles at the bottom of the page says 215/1500 that means the protein is 1500 not three proteins?
it is a single protien jmc
whoo! done! stupid words!!!
they vary in size
well a lot of people who oppose war oppose the death penalty. it depends on the reason for opposing war
whoo hoo kc!
wtg kc
yaa for kc!!
some believe that loving your enemies means not killing them
6 r and t words to go.............
well. one thing for unemployment, it's going to up my babble score for sure!
go kc
that really is one issue I have with moving to the US. I can't *understand* the concept of living in a country that legally kills people
others believe that the government can do what it wants as god handmaiden on earth but they cannot personally do it
Crossy, did you know there is now a bacon martini?
brb
kc what kind of work did you do?
hego...i activly make bacon vodka
Because you can find bacon vodka!
Oh, it was you!
hehe
i can't understand killing people legally or not ata
I was at two of the shooting sites and it changed my feelings dramatically...nothing like personal experience
take a good week or two to get it just right;))
but that is that silly quaker thing
nor me, but specifically coming from a country without the death penalty, and never having such in my lifetime ... it's a very strange concept to deal with
not so silly
MP I have faced a gun pointed at my head with the intent to kill me and I still do not support the death penalty
to go to war or not depends entirely on the circumstances at the time
I was/am a tech writer. Worked for gov contractors
well that is what most people believe crossy
anyone have a clue for the ta 5/10???
ww2 is a prime example
i believe we almost always pass by chances to make better choices and then claim we have no choice
it could have been easily my life lost but I was just out of his range at the moment...I was terrorized beyond my belief...something I can never forget...it would cause most to rethiink their thoughts I believe
it's funny, I can comprehend wanting the death penalty for someone. But I just can't *believe* in it
my sister was in range of the University of Texas Tower shooter while he was shooting. She was 8 months pregnant and had to hide behind a statue to keep from being shot. She still opposes the death penalty
sciencegeek - ta5/10 is t + abbreaviated version of 'are not'
wow ... poor her
not working
its all just talking till it is someone directly related to you that some scumbag kills for money for his crack habbit..but we wont delve into that...
but that is my point both my sister and I have faced being aimed at with weapons and I have had friends shot to death in drug war scenarios
ta+ a nice, refreshing p*** of beer
ty pinny
what does it mean over there - I know keeping people on Death Row costs $$$$$$ - is that money that could otherwise directly benefit people? Would it cost more to keep a prisoner in jail for life?
slap with a salmon!
slap ME with a salmon...?
ata,we dont have death penalty here,im told it can cost up to 65 grand a year to keep a prisoner
depending on the prison
yes pinny "typo reading 101"
a great deal of the cost is the cost of the salaries of the people who have to deal with the prisoners
I never felt I supported it either maybe I have some sort of PTSS from the chain of events...our whole community was so afraid...I don't think I could do the deed myself but our soldiers and security persons face that every day fighting to preserve our precious freedom...some times situations make decisions for you...I better get back to the grid got sidetracked by the news channel...it is all very sad even tho he is so evil inside.
prison personnel for the most part earn every dime they are paid..and more
MP I am sorry you were put in that position. I was very much afraid (and frequently stopped by the police for driving a van at the time) so I understand that part
sorry to ask such depressing questions ... it's really just something I need to get my head around ... living somewhere with the death penalty etc etc. it's just so alien
ok 2 more. this chog is heavy....
oh yes, crossy
sorry science..want me to streak for you?:)))
prison personnel are not paid enough
I believe that a lot of people protect our freedoms not the least of whom are the people who refuse to kill, lawyers, police officers, politicians, ngo workers
ooooooooooo
yes, streak with some bacon loin cloth thing
streaky bacon :)
STREAKING!!!! *runnig through the chog nekkid with belly flapping*
lol
No, no. Just one strip of bacon.
bellydancing!
wheee!
*flappita flappita flappita*
let me get the reddi whip....
That lightened things a bit.
go crossy go!
Mrs. Crossy may object to sharing the reddi whip!
1 more.......
brb mail just came
hello, help with re6/24 pls
thats what I love about babble, you can go from the death pemalty to bacon streaking in 30 secs
re 6/24 there are two of them - one is to put a worm on your fishing line again and the other is to get money back for something
peri, mail in your coupon and get a re****
I need the last re 4/4

thats a word how ....?
Science re4 is how you st5 a horse
now, someone give me the last re 4/4 pls or i will streak through the chog

always glad to lighten up the chog
thanks greamma
okay i am going to do something.....not sure what....but will see you all manana!
20 left, bbs
yw
my peepers are teetotal
i could use some help with mo5.12
it is actually a kind of steel beam use in construction
my favorite time of day is getting the mail and finding checks in them
if that's the clue, i may need the other mo5.10 cos i have that one...
no pinny that was a statement of fact -- sorry
well, fingers crossed for some big fat cheques today then
mo 5,12 almost spells the same as taking clothes off as in the full mo*** but change the ending
the other one is currency
what an appropriate clue zooz!
lol
we got medium checks but they all help
ty :)
yw :-)
crossy and I were both sharing are all togethers!
25 to go and got to have an early night tonight (boo)
go pinny go!
you can do it Pinny.
Can some one clue the ten for me, pls?
my baby brother introduced me to babble a week ago and since then i've finished three boards (compared to his zero). nothing like a bit of adult sibling rivalry
it is related but not built from the ab7
you go pinny! now's the time to go pro
who's your baby brother?
I know that part jmc, but still confused.
lol I think many ppl here understand that, pinny
he never posts on the boards
he shuns the board
he's too cool for it
ab 10 - stomach muscles, abbr + canvas shelter + charged particle
ah he misses the truly truly cool people here then!
hi BR
kisses br
Ihave an extra sweatshirt if he is too cool?
23 to go...

"Me and my red shoes, nothing can please us" is a line from the song "Flaming Red" by my favorite singer/songwriter, Patty Griffin
jmc, how old was your boy then when he lost his dad? just nine?
I can understand why my overly busy d-i-l would enjoy a restful massage, but NOT ME
just shy of his 9th birthday
LOVE patty griffin! she is awesome in concert
ouch. so sorry for your loss, jmc
i just don't like strangers touching me jill
MP, te6 is latin ending of the te + Ms Peeples.
same here, jmc
te7, more so of the camping shelter
trif it was 15 years ago -- but ty
I've seen Patty in concert several times. SO AMAZING.
last te5 is plural of the camping shelter.
Ms Peeples?
yes, I know it was a long time ago - but I am still sorry you had to live through it.
and tory? do yo have an opinion on her?
ty then trid
aaarrrgghghhhghhghghghghghgh
Like M** Farrow, but different first letter, JMC
*trif
ok, I'll let you guys chat while I look for my last 21 and have the other half of my vodka-rox and warm up my supper :)
new key board is driving me nuts
sorry don't know ms peeples
h's handled
Pitt...think the Chronicles of Nar***
oo what is vodka-rox? vodka over rocks?
and finish watching Coronation Street and then Jeopardy
if you have the 2nd te5.10 just add another vowel on the end of it for the 6
yes, jmc :]
:-) I am always trying to learn jill
ae6?
good clue, Pini. didn''t think to use the chronicals as a clue.
go trif go
well, jmc, you know the rocks are not made of stone, right?
poke holes in the ground pini
:)
put holes in something to let it breathe, pini
hi everyone
lol yes jill i do i do
thx jmc ;) and lbd ;)
hi andree
hi andree
hi andree! is that hugo? what a sweety
*picturing vodka pouredover diamonds*
TO---Don't have an opinion on Tori, just heard a bit of buzz. Lucero is pretty acclaimed he4/5-abouts.
andree! look at your little pup!!!! how has it been going?
hey red, i found my long lost friend in nashville!
back in a bit
Scuze me, folks - I had to watch the end of The Biggest Loser...anybody need a clue before I go for good?
n's nullified
http://www.myspace.com/141103919
cute, jmc ;)
go Trifioso!
its going very well, i had forgotten how much work a new pup is, he is cuddly and adorable
what jill? *looks innocent*
now I must plunge into the grid -- reaming the Rs at this point
oh, he is SO CUTE!
ee kris?
Fun TO! You should check out Madi Diaz.
nm
yes andree what is he?
jmc...think "scarey"
creepy jmc
did you see her pic?
a spoodle[ spaniel/poodle]
who are these peeps red is goingon about?
what does his coat feel like? more coarse, or more silky?
LBD, I've just been lurking mostly. I generally just babble on work breaks & don't have much time to chat.
Jillibus, they're musicians, silly. =)
if everyone is going to call me names *pouts*
very soft and silky trif
ty all got those te's only need te7/28
TO, she looks awfully good for 85 years old.
Lol excuse me - think "creepy", [comma!] jmc
I will call you a name, jmc -- good friend.
camping covering + the end of sparkling water from france
LOL but she has a 32 year old boyfriend no lie
lol I feel much better then!
MP, think more camping-y
hello, 14 left
hi harp
72 left
pini are you still he4?
go jmc go!
gawd, I tried to find some musicians via satellite today to please my cleaning gal and found her choices unbearable -- so repetitous! Since when did one sentence and one phrase become a"song"?
git'r dun, harp! :)
she is 55
go harp!
she is 55
I am...* sorry * distracted by news...
i think they are called praise hyms jill
I hate 'em
*stiffled giggle*
jmc is utterly correct
something we should know about pini?
longing to put on some real music but she says that puts her to sleep
play her some pink floyd
how did she find a 32-yr-old boyfriend? I could use one of those...and I'm 30. ;^)
was just wathing the clip on Elizabeth Lambert (the violent college soccer player that was just suspended)
by real I mean classical in its infinite variety
red you should be looking for a 28 year old boy friend
she hired himn to do work on her house. they've been together 4vyears
oh, that Lambert girl is the dirtiest player I have ever seen! beast.
poo that's not news pini
oh never mind -- ttfn
Prokofiev!
by jilli
bye jill sorry if i drove you off
i listen to classical too jilli.. and it's sad that few people do these days
well,jmc, I suppose I should have prospects before I go getting picky. ;^)
now, I heard the dating rule is this: half your age plus seven, to twice your age minus seven. that is the range of people you can date. has anyone else ever heard this?
...and the controversy about reinstating one of our football players who was suspended recently.
i love classical music, and jazz and blues.
hell twice my age is DEAD
Not sure I can work with that, Trif...I agree with TO, they'd be dead!!!
lb - I'm with you; TO LOL!
...if not dead, older than my parents!
lol TO me too
58/2=29-7=22 er I would be dating my son's friends
never heard that trif. i dated who i wanted to... one guy was eight years younger and it lasted a long time, but i don't feel like figuring out the numbers
talk about creepy
dorens, my son, who is 16, asked me yesterday if he could go into boston with "the guys" this saturday - they all want to go to the symphony together - so there is hope!
yes trif, i hope you said yes
no, no, jmc - half your age PLUS seven. sorry if I wrote it wrong before
it's 1/2 your age plus 7 or your age minus seven times 2. =)
I said YES!!!!! I was delighted
hmm, as long as he's rich, no heirs, and pampers me, who cares how old he is? lol, just joking. i loves my hubby, poor state worker that he is.
that would make 37 for me and my son is 35... still creepy!!!
Half your age + 7 is an old Arab rule for men ..
58*2=116-7=109 I am sorry but that is too old for anyone
hmmm - I would say rich, no heirs, no pampers.
so if you're 60, you can date someone who is between 37 and 127? But if you're 127, and you're following the same rule, you could not date a 60 year old....
not for a gal who is 110, jmc
Where are these rules, who wrote them, and why should anybody care?
i don't think i like this rule very much
any one over 100 should not be dating is all I say
call me a prude
all I know is that David Bowie is within my zone...
foflmao
i don't think anyone over 100 is even thinking of dating.
i don't think anyone over 100 is even thinking of dating.
it's not how old they HAVE to be...just how high you can go.
me, too
when i was younger i had a boyfriend who was 20 years old than i, when i was older i was looking forward to finding a young man, but it was not forthcoming....
and dating some one 2 years younger than my son just makes me gag
don't tell my mother she's too old to date, she's 84 and just got married last year!
...and he4 I've been thinking 5 years +/- was a good strategy...is that why I'm still single after all these years?
I dated a guy 10 years younger than me but really
if you love the person, does the age really matter?
my recent ex is 7 years younger.
i've been flirting with a guy at work 9 years younger
I married a guy 5.5 years younger. He's off buying milk.
the legal system thinks it matters, lbd
we were dancing to a Beatles tunes and he said "Beatles? were they Paul McCartney's first back up band?"
and I broke up with him on the spot
it wouldn't really matter, but "stupid" plays in there somewhere...I mean I fell in love until I figured out I fell in love with the smart part and that was the smaller portion!
my husband was 2 years younger
i don't think it's the legal system, i think it's our social system that puts the thumbs down on this stuff.
not getting the ending sparkling fr h2o drink it regularly tho...hey i even camp...
i want a guy who can relate to the same cultural icons i do
in the te4dropped shaped green bottle MP
MP = 9+1 and the parts of a stacked wedding cake
right, if they don't remember where they were when Kennedy was shot, they are too damn young!
no "Hey Nineteen"s for me
I'm getting to the point where I'd like to find the male version of me, since I don't think I'm so bad!
my sister has a friend who is in her 40s, and she is dating a man who is barely 18. I do try to be okay with it, but honestly, it wigs me out, a little.
very expensive sparkling water
whats dating!!! i got married in 1965, divorced in 2004 so havent had a date since 1965!!!
I am with you trif
that'd wig me out, trif!!!
I thing it is a bunch of twaddle made up by quidnuncs and officious twits
time to start again andree

So, BR, just how does one get a nickname out of that??? :)
st5/14?
cool! i have two turntables (but no microphone ) ;)
wow, that is a great present, tor! how lovely that they really thought about you, and what you like to do, and wanted you to play your records again. Sounds like your children are a credit to you.
Oh, BR...you forgot Putt Putt, too! :)
They're totally great people
I would say they come from good, quality stock
nice to have great kids
B's busted!
go pini go!
old age affects memory, Pini
my son talked to me on the phone yesterday and then dropped in because he (correctly) thought I sounded depressed
E's executed!
After seeing all the cool names on here I wish I would have used my nickname when I signed up..so much more interesting and descriptive than my real name...
any leads, jmc?
That's cool jmc ..
that is nice, je, that he thought of you. fundraising not going well?
:-( i don't approve of executing Es or anything else
I think you can email Dr God who will change it for you! :)
that was really thoughtful jmc
oh, sorry, jmc...
E's excused!
so MP you can re sign up and then go pro --- just let us know who you are!
did you find the receipt, jmc?
that's better pini
yes, that is a tough one for me also jmc, but it's across the country for me
st5/14?
no still haven't BR I found the receipt for the one before
well je a lot of folks in the dc area are not agreeing with you tonight i wager
that is a good idea before my rating gets up in the millions...LOL
well a lot of folks in the dc area are just as sad about it as I am TO
*giggle MP*
oh no doubt. i used to believe in execution but not any more.
TO I may be foolish but I am consistent
not foolish
{{{TO}}}
there is a sn!?!?!?!?!
yeah, jmc...don't let me catch you "glaring" at me! :)
the look of a villain
yup, a facial expression, jmc
a great thing my dad taught me...never forget how to laugh...that guy that studies all the "blue zones" says laughter greatly contributes to longevity...guess I'll make it past 100!
st5/14? I'm beggin' ya.....
OOOO snidely whiplash! *twirling mustachio*
ok kids, I have 37 minutes left of the only show I'm watching tonight. Suppose I should actually watch. =) gnight! good to catch up a little. I''ll be sure to look for men in the 21-46 age range. =)

fa + dean martin: ev***body loves somebody sometime

thanks br, I knew it was something really obvious !
ok i was always too scared to really watch it
please beofre i go does anyone here have experience with my space?
I have a very small dose, TO
a tiny tiny bit I generally let my staff do it
last fa7?
not skinnier
more so of the fa4.7, pini
my dad was cremated too he said it just hurried up what nature would do and it was so much cleaner and eco friendly to mother earth...maybe a result of his cherokee roots
will someone clue the 8-letter word for me please?
i am on my firend's page and can see some of her blog but not the most recent, i am asked to sign up. is that just myspace's way to get you to join?

i know you're taking good care of her! (((HUGS))) to both of you
thanks! :-)
wish scrabs were here to answer that question.
long drive, no? we'll see. was looking at a hawaiian restaurant there with curiosity
a pregnancy related cough? *doubtful look*
she has some safe cough drops, and is relieved to be over the nausea (knock wood) for the past couple days
bal'more is not that bad
my friend got whooping cough while she was pregnant. not so fun.

hello all. I was just eating some dessert, about to crawl early into bed -- not feeling up to par and not sure if it's the panic over the paper, the overwhelmedness of the entire quarter, or if I am coming down with something.
oh Phew! Thought we neede remedial rock 101
hehehe
Yeah, and I'm the recipient of the manharrem!
oh, I see DR. well you can't get rid of them in my direction! LOL
Oh, stid...how's stidkid doing today?

stidkids are okay. the one with the antibiotic discomfort is better, and no school for him tomorrow so he can rest up another day.

glad for you Stid- I was worried
that's good to hear, stid...glad it wasn't worse!

stidkid is a little anxious about that -- so many books they make movies out of are disappointments... the directors take so many liberties with both plot and characters

LOL Pini!

* wondering if MissO has gotten the hang of the grid *
good girl, DR!!!
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY LEARNING DRUGS?
:P
No- she is too busy thinking we re NUTS
113 words left... sigh
only vodka
no, but there are aides at the bottom of the grid (check out Lickety's Babble Clues) :)
no need to think, DR...we are!
I have some valium and some codeine but no learning drugs
I have Percocet...don't thing those will help with learning at all...but they're a nice ride! :)
ahaha
ok now we are nutty drug users..... nice picture to paint...
I have liquid morphine. But it's not mine :D
ROFL! Have to admit not quite an E ride, tho!
you win!
I was just thinking that, too, DR!!! Ata has an E-ticket ride!!!!
i dont like the drugs but the drugs like me...
Percocet makes me chatty actually
and NO I DID NOT TAKE ANY TONIGHT
ROFL! suuuuuuure! :)
(jk)
oh lord
it's my sister's, but I keep some here for when she's here. She drinks bottles of the stuff :P
is she still in the hospital Ata
one sip of that stuff makes you feel verrrrry strange
Did you call, MissO?
Oh, wait...I forgot, I'm not related to Dr God!
no! they sent her home without having given her a transfusion because no-one could access any veins. So now she's sitting at home just losing more blood. Great
oh no, ata!!!
god grant me the serenity to give me the answers to this puzzle :P
: ( That is awful!
sky pilot ... how high can you fly
In the 60s I was trying to keep my weight down and my doc prescribed what I now know was amphetamines. Yes, I cut my appetite, and made me feel on top of the world, and I could talk a blue streak, but when I stopped it ( thin enough) I became very depressed and with help from male chauvinist jerks, attempted suicide.
BR!!! Buddy-o-mine!! :)
BR_ our new convert Miss O needs your expert guidance
oh my, jilli!
it's ridiculous and we're all Very Cross
Just a beware . . .
I can only imagine, Ata...hope it turns to the better soon!!!
I do not understand that Ata!
<blink>
* hands MissO some visine *
wrestling crocs and fighting kangas is a lot easier than this...
Miss O_ BR is the clueman!
lol
it's all very silly. she needs a transfusion. end of story. someone needs to find a way to get the stuff into her. sipmple!
but they don't keep you as entertained while fighting the grid!!! :)
these interlocking conversations are not exactly making sense
lol
dont you wish it was that simple- Your sister is kind of like me- I never do anything the easy way
oh yes. they now can't get a vein from a neck cut-down or her groin. nowhere left to go without surgery
I'm going to go and wash my coffe mug, then get my Remembrance Day icon. See you later, gang.
hb jilli!
bye jilli!
BR...how're ya doin' tonight!?
I will keep her in my prayers Ata
ditto for me, ata!
*T&Ps here*
