12:09 am

like Caroline Kennedy...

12:10 am

that was followed by a string of 'likes' whatever happened to the proper use of the language

12:10 am

I didn't realize Caroline does that too..she should know better

12:11 am

she tried for politics in 2008 but that did her in

12:11 am

my family hates me because I am always complaining about billboards, written language, and spoken language being so "lazy" and incorrect...

we have become a nation of idiots

12:14 am

he's our congressman and the wanna be's are coming out of the woodwork

12:14 am

dee, I get into trouble over such matters too

12:15 am

I always feel Miss Gilligan's eyes burning a hole in the back of my head

12:16 am

I get told "language evolves" but I say no need to have it devolve. Why, when there is a choice between the correct and the incorrect way of saying something, so many choose the incorrect. I was shocked that Anderson Cooper talked about bodies "laying" in the streets of Haiti. Surely he was brought up to use the correct "lying"?

Jili, about a year ago, I told them if they improved their vocabulary, then I would have nothing to nag about LOL

TOTALLY agree jili!!!

12:17 am

jilli, i'm with you 100%!

12:17 am

I SOOOO feel your pain Dee

"It is I"... has devolved into It is me... idiotic

12:17 am

what really kills me is when native speakers of the language still manage to mangle common words

12:18 am

Hi Ruby

no -- we may be getting a different set of commercials here

1:55 am

no -- we probably don't get the same commercials here

1:56 am

I agree Jilli, I was very surprised Monday night when one of the fellows was disappointed in it

1:56 am

I west and nan and jilli and flowey

1:56 am

flosey** sorry

1:56 am

my husband wont watch it, so I am stuck with reading about the JO in the newspaper

1:56 am

hi ruby :)

1:56 am

it's so dear it shows little children about to participate in the different sports and then it says to the moms they're still their kids

1:57 am

no problem ruby

1:57 am

I thought the whole show was terrific -- especially the way the totems changed into trees (or was it the other way around?)

1:57 am

I'm hoping there will be a dvd available of the opening and closing ceremonies and maybe the highlights

1:58 am

yes, the totems changed into trees -- I loved that part too

1:58 am

it was so amazing

1:58 am

why doesn't your husband go and do something else while you watch, ruby?

2:01 am

ty flosey -- I even had a friend in high school by that name!

2:02 am

didn't realize it was that time

2:02 am

aha, was that shortened from a ce****ia

2:02 am

wasn't sent to the pb, but my punishment was that my screen froze and I had to re-boot!

2:03 am

it always does at this time ruby

2:03 am

I really don't remember, flosey!

2:03 am

I just check my email

2:03 am

I like that song

2:03 am

yes, who sings it west?

2:04 am

simon and garfunkel

2:04 am

oh, hated when they broke up

2:04 am

I did too

2:05 am

wasn't it you, ruby, who dated Paul Simon in college?

2:05 am

omg, you remembered! Yes, I was the only girl short enough and he used to sing for me when we'd go for rides in his '57 Chevy convertible!

2:06 am

how romantic ruby

2:06 am

that is so cool

2:06 am

if my hubby sang to me, am afraid it would not be at all romantic!

2:06 am

I was too young for it to be romantic AND he was very unattractive, except for his voice

2:06 am

lol flosey

2:07 am

but we were surely friends

2:07 am

mine couldn't carry a tune to save his life. Couldn't spell either -- today's theme would have been perfect for him.

2:08 am

is ci5 a fish?

2:08 am

same here jilli, doesn't have the patience to spell properly

2:08 am

I gave mine a Bad Speller's Dictionary once

2:08 am

sort of she said batting her eyes

2:09 am

he really liked it!

2:09 am

ty west, you devil you!

2:09 am

wonder if that would have helped our son jilli - he still spells phonetically

2:09 am

lol

2:10 am

I don't really know flosey my eyes hardly ever get dirty

2:14 am

mine are over 60 years ago

2:14 am

2:14 am

I remember my father used to have an eye cup

2:14 am

my father, too

2:14 am

ty west for the acid

2:14 am

and a shaving brush

2:14 am

otherwise, it is poison for the pets

2:15 am

I still have my dad's eye cup (pack-rat, me)

2:15 am

2:18 am

2:19 am

and, of course, husband resists the idea.....

2:19 am

ruby, I've seen pictures of that used as a border above counters in a kitchen, wonder if it was someone in babble

2:20 am

I've been saving the broken stuff for many years!

2:20 am

I think it was used amongst other tiles

2:20 am

hello again. back and a little more settled. will try not to make any boners!

3:57 am

I agree, forward, it's very hard for me, too

4:01 am

this is a stinker grid...

i only have 40 words and have been doing this for a while!

4:02 am

I've spent more than an hour and still don't have half, and that's with some help from the chog!

4:02 am

It gets a lot easier after you have found all the words

4:02 am

hahah BR!

4:03 am

there are many lovely phantom words like cyclamen!

4:04 am

my phantom is: sacerdotophrenia

4:05 am

the only thing I have are the b's, if anybody needs one.....

4:05 am

too funny, br, you sound like one of the oxymorons in lexulous blitz

i'm missing one b ruby - I have be5, bo 4,4,4,4

4:07 am

bo5/16 solution for eyes, old-fashioned

4:08 am

4:10 am

bo + nickname for **chard

4:10 am

***hard

4:12 am

Have finished 2 long phone calls and am hping that I can get this grid done. Morning ruby and hello forward

4:13 am

4:13 am

getting to be a taciturn old lady, except in writing

4:13 am

lol welcome to the babble world :)

4:14 am

you are much more sociable than I, FM, and everybody loves you

4:14 am

am thinking of getting a clause written into my contrtact that says I can and will babble at will.

4:14 am

shall I write a letter to your boss?

4:15 am

Ah that would be me ruby as I work for myself, I regularly fire and rehire myself.

4:16 am

hahah

4:16 am

*flop*

4:16 am

hello ata!

4:17 am

is flop the other side of flip?

4:17 am

I've been independant now for about 5 years and it was the bst move I ever made although there have been some scary moments.

4:17 am

Ata!!!!

4:17 am

Where have you and Hobbity been to day?

4:18 am

glad to see I am living up to bad spelling icon theme day *sigh*

4:18 am

4:18 am

finally got to half but can't see much more...

4:19 am

awe - do you have the lovely spring morning too?

4:19 am

it's absolutely *glorious*

4:19 am

the c's are a bit of a nightmare ruby

4:20 am

cold and grey here and they're predicitng precipation

4:20 am

is coolie considered perjorative and that's why it's not accepted?

4:20 am

It is the most lovely sunny morning with pale blue skies and wispy clouds.

4:21 am

cold but not too cold, bit of frost, bright sunshine, blue skies

4:22 am

ruby, with the database behind the grid we never know.

4:23 am

Ata have you checked email this morning?

4:23 am

the English (rather than American) dictionary in lexulous is very liberal; it allows naughty words in the game, but never in the chat

4:24 am

nope

4:24 am

the DB behind this is Enable and is very quirky.

4:24 am

I've only walked the dog for an hour, done half an hour of wii fit, gone shopping ... you want me to read email too??!

4:25 am

of course, yr a woman so can multi task :)

4:25 am

this is much harder than lex blitz which is why I like it

4:26 am

busy ata, oh, to be young again!!!!

4:26 am

yes she is a pup really compared to us.

4:26 am

multi-task, talk out of both sides of your mouth?

4:26 am

going into canterbury in an hour for a much needed hair cut, then home and do my day's MSc stuff :D

4:27 am

4:38 am

4:38 am

I have to see what buses go down the King's Road. I hate tubes

4:39 am

wow, ob6 is allowed? I tried it cos it's a scienific name for a sea anemone thing

4:39 am

Barry Humphries created his character Edna Everage (Average) being an average Australian working class housewife from Moonee Ponds here in Victoria. Over the years as 'she' has become better travelled and very well known, esp in UK, she has become more extreme and also was made a dame. O am surprised you haven't seen here in the US, she was even in the Aly McBeal for quite a few episodes - perhaps you thought she was a woman!

7:08 am

and he/she's done several one man/woman shows on Broadway!

I've seen him/her, always thought a brit, not ozzie

7:08 am

hi Une

9:42 am

I got it! That was a weird one. ty all for being patient

9:42 am

you mean before? co 5/14 is to make loving sounds

9:42 am

past tense of a pigeon or doves song, and change ending to sometimes vowel

9:42 am

boil

9:42 am

it sure was, bichon

9:43 am

now I am gone

9:43 am

I have the 5,12 for hues, tint, but I am missing the 5,14 and 5,16 after it and cannot find them

9:44 am

mudd, past tense of loving sounds (think doves)

9:44 am

Ah, thank you much

9:44 am

co 5/16---dove sounds and you see with your **es

9:44 am

dove sound not sounds

9:45 am

I don't know what is with my brain today; I didn't take a tylenol pm last night or anything.

9:45 am

Sometimes I think it simply shuts down with short grids.

9:45 am

co 5/16 --dove sound and you see with your **es

9:46 am

Of course, once I got the co 5,16 from your clues, the 7 was a cinch.

9:46 am

oh good! not I am really gone.

9:47 am

So did you put a load of laundry in and return to chat with us some more?

9:50 am

The four last cy words were new to me.

9:51 am

~ Firewords ~ finally, what an onery little grid

9:53 am

i think we should get extra points when a babbler's handle is in the grid!

9:53 am

whoooo hooooo MEL!!

9:53 am

Wtg Meliae

9:54 am

I agree ibdawger ... mine has been here a time or two

9:55 am

thank you, I am here back and forth checking e-mails and getting some breakfast made

10:02 am

Suddenly the chatter stopped. I was on the phone ... usually buried in the grid, but not this time.

10:02 am

I'm plodding along and have finished the a,b,c,d, words.

10:04 am

Some of these words are an absolute hoot. That generally happens with shorter grids. I miss the s, n, and t.

10:05 am

there are some very strange words in the grid today but luckily the placement of the key higher tiles helped with the monkeying, at least for me it did

10:06 am

Oh for sure that's true. Many times they are the ones that get me through. Just like that and I am up to the 'l' words.

need a clue for my7, please?

10:08 am

I'm in the l words, not that far yet Marc. Maybe later if you still need it.

10:10 am

MY 7 first 5 letters or previous word with 2 vowels

10:10 am

my+girl's name

10:12 am

I'm anxious to get to the my and check out those good clues. Thanx in advance.

is there a 5 letter word after my? If so, what are those two letters that it starts with?

10:14 am

hell

10:14 am

oh crap, i mean hello!

10:14 am

see my clue Marc

Yes saw that but still having difficulty

10:16 am

my+c....

Thanks got it.

10:17 am

My daughter's name is Marcy. Think of how her given name might actually end.

10:18 am

There's a bit of her name in the my word.

My wifes name is Marci

10:18 am

yw

10:18 am

Or my + your body is composed of ***ls.

Hi Harpjane, having my harp regulated next week and all new strings. Quite expensive. Hope I can keep it in tune then.

10:19 am

There's no i in my daughter Marcy's name. The fifth letter is a different vowel.

Does the my6 work of the 7 or is it completely different

10:20 am

You drop the final vowel of the my 6 and change it to two different vowels.

10:20 am

My + first three letters of minute part of body, then two vowels.

10:21 am

co 6/24?? anyone

10:21 am

Build on the co 4,6 a bit above it and add two more vowels. It ends in three vowels altogether.

10:21 am

add to vowels to the 4/6 Ruru

10:22 am

thank you

Mudd that would be 7 letters not 6

10:23 am

Yes, that is for the my 7. The six has a different vowel than the final two for my 7. Drop two off the my 7 and make a different vowel there.

10:23 am

my6 is my + long stick like veggie grows in bunches---carrot and ****ry sticks

got it thanks

10:24 am

MY 6/30 MY+ I carry a ***l phone with me +2nd vowel

Fireworks! Bye all. Tomorrow?

10:25 am

Oh that's great Meliae. I was thinking of the small part of our body, but a ***l phone is a much better clue.

10:26 am

Wait until Marc hits the ob words ... a regular medley of vowels.

10:26 am

i'm doing better now that i'm done with the grid. guess that means i need to go do something constructive. how are you, meli?

Hello, Dorens

11:48 am

i'm finally back in school... it seems like it's been ages.. snow days last wednesday and thursday and "inservice" day Friday and holiday the last two days. then delayed opening this morning due to icy roads. it seems like years

11:50 am

how have you been babblerabble?

11:50 am

Each day brings us closer to spring

11:52 am

Not so hot, actually. Have been trying different meds and different dosages. I think I was better off before the changes .... but who knows how it will eventually sort out?

11:52 am

ahh, sorry to hear this. you bring so much comfort to others here; wish we could be of help to you.

11:54 am

It is just a process that must be traversed. Thank you for the kind words. You have been a wonderful friend.

11:56 am

that actually brought tears to my eyes... thanks. and I like your Poe poem; surprised I'd never seen it before.

11:57 am

11:58 am

leave it to ata to spoil the mood :)

11:58 am

Hi all...........BR Im sorry you are not well at the moment

11:59 am

it's that demon dog -- hey ata, have you ever made a mustard sauce in which to dip those spinach balls

11:59 am

Two very sad sights in Marks and Spencer's today. 1. Valentine's flowers at half price (looking a bit droopy) 2. A sign indicating a bargain in HOISERY. I took a photo with my phone camera but have no clue how to download it. You'll have to take my word for it.

12:00 pm

hoisery half sale... understandable

12:00 pm

Hi Haz

12:01 pm

Hello! We're looking more springlike here as well.

12:02 pm

ah, well we had four - five inches of snow here yesterday, and last night it got very cold so all the wet roads turned to ice. still below freezing now at 1 pm. not quite springlike

12:02 pm

Snow is bad enough, ice is so treacherous.

12:03 pm

lots of accidents on the road this morning - glad we had delayed school opening

12:04 pm

*passes by chog, hears talk of snow and ice, and runs for her life* no more snow!! NO MORE!!

12:04 pm

12:08 pm

Thank you, caitlyn. Hello, folks

12:08 pm

Any news on the wedding front, EvaN? I watched a bit of Bridezillas the other day and concluded that those girls were either acting or they should have felt the weight of their mother's hands a lot more often than they had done.

12:09 pm

Hello, BabbleRabble.

12:09 pm

babblerabble is always good for a pun, if not a joke

How did the chemistry major supplement her college grant?

12:09 pm

How?

12:10 pm

sorry to miss out on the ensuing hilarity, but I need to get back to work... see you later

12:10 pm

It's going well, BabbleRabble. Today is my daughter's 26th birthday. I am feeling considerably more comfortable than I did 26 years ago.

12:10 pm

hi crossy and caitlin and haz

She waited periodic tables.

12:10 pm

Bottle of Merlot A man asked a waiter to take a bottle of Merlot to an unusually attractive woman sitting alone at a table in a cozy little restaurant. So the waiter took the Merlot to the woman and said, 'This is from the gentleman who is seated over there,' and indicated the sender with a nod of his head. She stared at the wine coolly for a few seconds, not looking at the man, then decided to send a reply to him by a note. The waiter, who was lingering nearby for a response, took the note from her and conveyed it to the gentleman. The note read: 'For me to accept this bottle, you need to have a Mercedes in your garage, a million dollars in the bank and '7' inches in your pants'. After reading the note, the man decided to compose one of his own in return. He folded the note, handed it to the waiter and instructed him to deliver it to the lady. It read: 'Just to let you know things aren't always what they appear to be: I have a Ferrari Maranello, BMW Z8, Mercedes CL600, and a Porsche Turbo in my several garages; I have beautiful homes in Aspen and Miami , and a 10,000 acre ranch in Louisiana . There is over billion dollars in my bank account and portfolio. But, not even for a woman as beautiful as you, would I cut off three inches. Just send the wine back.... Tiger

12:10 pm

New hair new dress you go girl!

12:58 pm

12:58 pm

D will tell me I've defiled my body again, I'm sure!

12:58 pm

12:58 pm

How he could say that after what he did to his hair.....

12:59 pm

I know!!

12:59 pm

I haven't had breakfast yet -- just dropped in to see the nonsense -- ttfn

12:59 pm

Hi Barb

bye jill

12:59 pm

that's exactly what he said last time - I'd defiled myself with pink stripes

12:59 pm

I'm nearly afraid to ask, but what did yer man do to his hair, Ata?

12:59 pm

omg. fm, you describe

1:00 pm

I need to shove potato in oven

1:00 pm

*grin* you should have seen the pic Soodle, he half shaved the back of his head because he thought it would save some £

1:00 pm

was a mess.

1:01 pm

Ata should have shaved one of his eyebrows to match.

1:01 pm

then he had to go to hairdressers/barber to get it evend out

1:01 pm

BTW, FM - was your cleaning lady a sucess?

1:02 pm

Actually thinking about it, Ata should ahve know better and not let him near Hobbit with the clippers - same sort of story.

1:03 pm

Oh yes she is wonderful and coming back nxt week *very big happy grin*

1:03 pm

Maybe Ata shouldn't shove that potato in the oven - I can think of somewhere a lot more painful....

1:03 pm

It was utterly utterly hilarious

3:00 pm

mmmm... bet that was both delicious and frightening! LOL

3:01 pm

I wanted it, but couldn't bring myself to eat mouse. Husband had it though :D

3:02 pm

did he order it as "mouse"?

3:03 pm

yes! much to the confusion of the waitress

3:03 pm

LOL! good for him!

3:05 pm

I ended up having chocolate and brandy creme brulee, correctly spelled and accented

3:05 pm

much safer, ata... one never knows. In these tough economic times, maybe they were resorting to serving mouse

3:06 pm

I was a bit concerned by something called spinage on the menu too

3:06 pm

I'll be back later -- have to have some lunch and replenish the birds' suet supply

Just as I was leaving I just wanted to get co6/30 and am now can't leave before I get it. A clue please?

I'm great. I spent th day taking photographs, and am now overwhelmed...took over 500.

5:48 pm

wooot, and now sifting for the best?

I think I took too many, and I find I hate to edit them.

it was a very peaceful day...

5:49 pm

hi, folks

5:49 pm

that in itself makes it worth it

5:49 pm

hi welki

hi welki...

5:52 pm

I have to say I am finding this a tough grid. Slow going almost all the way.

uh oh.

I see the em trutle word is here, I just can not remember how to spell it.

5:52 pm

we've been spoiled with some relatively easy grids ... this one is a little toughie

I have 31 words. eeek. I still have to sift through some pics.

5:53 pm

I have 60 now, only one 7, only 2 x 6. But having fun :)

I have one six. the bird of course, and no sevens, but I am happy to see you sprite and welki!

I am waiting for the recap at 8. spent the whole day outside.

6:34 pm

we have 3 channels showing Olympics here. On this one there's been another muddle about speed skating.

Again?

6:34 pm

You don't have a TV, kje? Well, I don't watch much either.

6:35 pm

It has been snowing hard all day here.

NPR did an interview with the DJ for the half pipe and other snow board event, it was really interesting.

6:35 pm

no scrab... gave it away with the move and have never replaced it

6:35 pm

hi barb -- the sun is wonderful and the crocuses, snowdrops and hellebores are blooming happily

6:35 pm

6:37 pm

Women's hockey, 3rd period, Canada 13, Sweden 1.

6:37 pm

Ok, not too exciting or me. And of course, no CTV in Fl.

does cnbc have anything?

6:38 pm

wow, lots of weird ones today

yes kje I cant see any of the wierd ones.

6:39 pm

I'm here to clue

i am a winter games junkie. since i was a kid.

6:39 pm

Well, not a lot since it is a small grid. But the ones they do have are very strange.

6:39 pm

ed5?

cnbc has women's curling

I prefer the summer games, but the winter ones are very speed filled and fun. I admit I think Ice dancing is an odd sport.

6:40 pm

ed5 = swelling

not ready for clue. bbl. happy babbling all

6:40 pm

crap!

6:40 pm

LOL - all these weird ones and I miss one I prob write every day

6:40 pm

hehe, kje (and see oe6)

6:41 pm

hey what are taiking about

and the proper spellling of swelling is in there too..

6:41 pm

ty jilli!

Yaaay I finally found a seven.

6:41 pm

stomach growling... bbiab

6:41 pm

yw ;)

6:42 pm

hello everyone

6:42 pm

Hello Bugs

6:43 pm

hi bugsy

6:43 pm

Hi red, jilli et al.!

6:43 pm

love your T, bugs!

6:44 pm

fungus part is here too

6:44 pm

Back--phone call

6:46 pm

Does anyone have a clue on the me5?

6:46 pm

I just started, wht

6:46 pm

me5 -- dinner + "that is" abbr

thats the me 6 I think Jilli...

6:47 pm

what letter does fungus part start with please, jilli

my I think bugs

6:47 pm

Low battery...BRB with cord plugged in.

6:48 pm

my7, bugs

6:48 pm

That is the me6

6:49 pm

sorry -- me5 -- me + you ***k an ice cream cone

6:49 pm

Just monkeyed the my's from the hint of the fungus parts. Ty all.

6:49 pm

yw wht

6:49 pm

ty jilli

6:50 pm

I may goof from time to time -- distracted by TV

6:50 pm

Does anyone have the first co4/5 after the ci?

6:51 pm

co4 -- you don't want a lump in your Xmas stocking so be good

6:51 pm

The first is a flammable mineral.

6:51 pm

I just found co4 = co**ucational

6:52 pm

Thank you!

6:53 pm

There is a way of writing in secret. A female student, a neatly twisted pile of rope, a soft drink, Nat King ****, and not hot.

6:53 pm

de rien

6:53 pm

There is one more I am not sure what it means.

6:53 pm

I got 2 more there, wht, ty

scrabs may i beg you rindulgence and talk shop a minute, since I am supposed to be treating with OTC meds?

6:54 pm

Yes, of course, Owl

6:54 pm

OK. The other co4 is the fiber from a coconut husk.

6:54 pm

coconut fibre, wht

6:54 pm

Thanks, Jilli, I just looked it up.

dr. orig said claritan and sudafed and mucinex. pharmacist said mucinex is only for chest congestion

6:54 pm

I thought it was a misspelled singing group

6:55 pm

knowing enable, it might well have been :-/

6:56 pm

I like to drink co4

the long shot is i have awful PND and she said no antibiotics - which of those will help?

6:56 pm

OTC cold/cough meds = ineffective meds. I would never spend money on them. Also, adverse effects = increased heart rate + BP, nervous system stimulant

go figure. i think she is whack.

6:56 pm

I would do saline spray to irrigate nose/sinuses; vaporizer or hot showers

have done those

Phew...got my bees finally

time was i would get antibiotics and it would begin to improve in three -4 days.

6:57 pm

OTC cold/cough meds = worse than placebo as they are not harmless. In Oct 2008 they were banned for kids under 4 yrs and the American Academy of Pediatrics is pushing FDA to ban them for kids under 12.

6:58 pm

Way to Go Monkeys, they played with matches and got fireworks.

I find when used properl that OTC meds help me when I actually have a cold. not think I have one.

COngratulations WHT!

i know, my cousin had liver muisfunction but this dr said it was from combined acetominophen.

6:58 pm

hello all ((cousin)) is your migraine better?

6:58 pm

A normal co4, which medically = viral sinusitis, will last 10-14 d. Antibiotics should not be used before that.

i think it is a sinuc infection at this point, which i was trying to head off

6:58 pm

YAY wht!!!

hello stid

cold is not in the grid Scrabbs.

6:59 pm

YAY wht, btw

ok then it is a bit more than 1 week.

6:59 pm

Yes, Stid--it was gone by Monday night.

6:59 pm

good. migraines = sucky days

SO before i starve to death, what can i take for PND?

6:59 pm

how's this grid?

6:59 pm

hi stid

I am surprised that we all had migraines on the same day!!!!

6:59 pm

Maybe she thought it was a mild cold.

6:59 pm

Be patient, Owl, and let your body (immune system) take care of things. Have faith in your army!

7:00 pm

It is small but nasty. Too many vowels

7:00 pm

I thought it was doable with help, stid -- some weirdos, of course

7:00 pm

I wouldn't take anything, Owl. Irrigate, blow, cough, spit

no i must stop this symptom. whit i don't go to the doctor for a cold.

I am pleased to be over half way and can not decide what to eat. I gave up take out pizza for lent, and its killing me.

7:00 pm

well, I will play for about ten minutes, then dive into this paper.

7:01 pm

A cold is a sinus infection, but viral, thus antibiotics will not help.

7:01 pm

the words are weirdos, jill -- or the helpers? *wicked mama grin*

7:01 pm

Poor red

i am having potato & egg frittata

7:01 pm

you are wicked indeed, stid

it could be a lot worse, scrabbs

TO that sounds nice.

7:01 pm

mmm, TO!

very

7:02 pm

oh red... *gentle hugs* did you give up spaghetti too? *stricken look*

7:02 pm

Oh,yes, Red.

7:02 pm

I have a great recipe for zucchini frittata

and so easy with frozen potatoes o'brien!

7:03 pm

brb

No I could have spaghetti. Or eggs, or chicken or or or....

7:04 pm

I had couscous with carrots, yellow + green beans, with mushroom soup

7:04 pm

sounds delicious, scrabs

I have some quinoa...

7:05 pm

I still need to get supper -- maybe leftover beef stew (frozen now)

7:05 pm

quinoa, with veggie "fritters"?

em 5/14 plz

Yum, and I love beef stew.

7:05 pm

Host of a show, e.g. Alex trebek

7:05 pm

stixtystang: the Master of Ceremonies

7:06 pm

Red, so you will just have to replace the take out pizza with take out Indian, Thai or Chinese.

7:06 pm

em5 -- MC

7:06 pm

Jilli, I had beef stew for dinner and it was delicious.

Alas, wht I live in a rather small town. the take out chienses is just too not chinese.

ty scrabbler, stidmama and jillibus

7:06 pm

good advice, wht! LOL

TY Jilli.

I should eat salad anyway!

7:07 pm

yw red

7:07 pm

good evening, and greetings from New Jersey, where we just had the most DELICIOUS Chinese take out (not on my weight loss program but I had really tiny portions!)

7:07 pm

That is too bad, red.

7:07 pm

I'm eating half portions of regular meals

7:07 pm

Hi JBV

7:07 pm

hey JBV (12 million tiny portions = 1 big one...)

Yes, but I love where I live, so these are just little bumps.

in the road...

i am babbling, boggling, watching olympics and trying to review some music. it's not working.

7:08 pm

no, no, no, stid - I've been really careful

cut out the boggling.

:)

7:08 pm

hi scrabbler!

:)

7:08 pm

I like to multitask too, Owl

7:08 pm

multitasking is not good for the brain, Owl

i no longer think it's multitaksing for me. i think it's add

I do it often. right now I am sharing photos with my Mom and watching olmpics, and babbling...and thinking about me**

7:09 pm

I can't even monotask tonight!!! I feel like I am trying to revisit last week's migraine, and I still don't have the refill on the meds. *sigh* any ideas, cousin?

7:09 pm

we all do it, it's just not very satisfying or even effective most of the time

7:09 pm

Well, multitasking can lead to inattention.

hmmm missing one of the e's

7:10 pm

which ones do you have, barb? And aren't you using Lickety's list?

7:10 pm

You have another migraine starting? I take 440 mg of naproxen at onset and that works 80% of the time, in terms of aborting the episode

yeah got it woo hoo

7:10 pm

thanks Scrabs. *hollers for kid*

i am...but i must of typed wrong

sorry for those with migraines

7:11 pm

ed5, el4, el6 em5x2, em3, ey4

7:11 pm

That works for ME, Stid.

7:11 pm

it's better than nothing, which was my other option.

7:12 pm

Other people take a triptan

7:12 pm

actually, the other other option is to take excedrin which... to be honest I DO want to sleep tonight!

7:12 pm

Make that an em4

7:12 pm

I hope you're having an abortion, stid. (No, I know, not funny)

7:12 pm

I don't have triptans... trazodone I use for sleep, but that's a different type of antidepressant I think

7:12 pm

What do you usually take, Stid?

7:13 pm

Yes, it is an antidepressant that is quite sedating

7:13 pm

what happened to that old-fashioned migraine remedy -- ergotamine?

7:14 pm

Triptans work better and are safer

7:14 pm

ergotamine I had when I was in high school -- the caffeine it came with kept me up ALL NIGHT!

7:14 pm

ugh!

7:15 pm

Do you take any preventive meds or remedies, Stid? I use generic Migrelief--vit B complex, magnesium + feverfew

7:15 pm

well, darn. stidkid#2's trombone teacher just called and canceled. He has some sort of nasty virus, poor guy.

7:16 pm

topamax is good for migraines

7:16 pm

sp?

7:16 pm

you mentioned it last week. I don't, Scrabs, but then the migraines were almost gone until last week, after I eliminated wheat.

7:16 pm

but it is heavy duty

7:16 pm

hello Bianca!

7:16 pm

Yes, commonly used as prevention, but it makes some people zombies

7:16 pm

brb

7:16 pm

hi stid!

7:17 pm

hi bianca

7:17 pm

hi jilli

7:17 pm

Some of us are zombies even without meds.

7:17 pm

True, wht, I am a zombie every morning because I am not a morning person.

7:18 pm

scrabs, how did you survive med school if you're not a morning person?

7:18 pm

(I feel your pain)

ooh they play music while snoqwboarding or is nbc that hip?

7:19 pm

back... it might be a family thing, jill -- Tom's not a morning person either.

i mean they are playing SPOON!

7:19 pm

I was very driven then, and I didn't even drink coffee!

7:19 pm

well, I am going to get the Y (with help) and the E on the far right (with more help) and then I will go study.

7:19 pm

Tom doesn't drink coffee either!!! (definitely a family thing..._

7:20 pm

Snowboarders get revved up with music--many have iPods of their own

yes, there apparently is a dj at the games, he was on npr today!

7:20 pm

They were skating last night to Jimi Hendrix and J Giels.

Bye Barb & wht

7:31 pm

the extra two days this week were fun, though, I'm on a state-level committee to review Spanish translations of the state assessments - locked in a room for two days with people just like me who enjoy laboring over nuances of word meaning, analyzing text, etc. - no kidding, it was intense but fun

JBV it sounds interesting, I am always amazed at how much difference a transloator makes in literature.

my 6/30 plz

do we have lickety?

yes red

7:35 pm

I have had enough of this grid. See you tomorrow.

7:35 pm

7:54 pm

oooh, good one red!

7:55 pm

Haven't decided yet...

7:55 pm

good one red...does that mean you can make it at home?

I can, but I probably would not.

I am a fan of Hungry Howies...and need to be less of a fan.

7:56 pm

we have decided here to focus on taking on new, good things, versus solely giving up things. For example, Primo is going to eat at least one serving of fresh fruit a day, I am going to exercise every day, etc.

7:56 pm

good for you then

7:56 pm

good idea Trif

7:56 pm

Good idea, Trif...

7:57 pm

I had a new experience today, my only daughter's birthday is today and we went shopping for wedding gowns, it was fun.

7:57 pm

8:02 pm

Glad you had fun, SeaSpray!

8:03 pm

Yes we do, they have been together for 7 years

8:03 pm

cheers all around then!

8:03 pm

they met while in high school, both worked at KMart, so we call him the blue light special (Jokingly)

8:04 pm

I guess it's better than "special K"

8:05 pm

haha it is Trif, they have both worked hard at establishing careers and so now is the time

8:06 pm

sea spray, what kind of dog is that in your icon? A west highland terrier, maybe?

8:06 pm

yes it is trif, I have had mine for almost 14 years, my pal

8:07 pm

hmmmm. very, very cute!

8:07 pm

do they get on well with other dogs?

8:08 pm

mine does, even most cats, though he tends to try to keep our cat in his place, we lost another cat 2 years ago and he actually protected her

8:09 pm

she was almost 17, a white himalayan and he adored her

8:13 pm

Hi dawger. For me it is doubley so.

8:35 pm

me4 + two vowels, TO

8:35 pm

8:36 pm

why doubly so, stidg?

8:36 pm

me 6 = me 4/5 + two vowels

8:36 pm

8:40 pm

Joey is a cutie!

I don't believe I will take that sport up anytime soon

8:44 pm

8:45 pm

Thank God

8:46 pm

I do not think I like the spray painted courses....

8:51 pm

hello stid

8:51 pm

8:51 pm

8:52 pm

I would go for Joey if I were you Trif

8:52 pm

8:53 pm

8:53 pm

hello Mother! was so nice to see you this afternoon -- I got a good bit done on the paper again, now researching phoenicians for the project

no. tyring to get back onto life with committee meeting

8:54 pm

this grid has me stumped!

8:54 pm

down to 57 and holding.

coolie and cooley are words why won't it accept cooley?

8:54 pm

speaking of phoenicians (sort of....) did you see all the stuff about King Tut this week? Could have gone my WHOLE life without knowing the particulars of his situation and been perfectly happy

8:55 pm

gee TO, you're busy. well... DO take care of yourself!

8:55 pm

that was really amazingly nifty, trifioso, but I can see how it might freak people out.

8:55 pm

Yes. Mummies are waaay overdone.

8:56 pm

talk about your "yummy mummy!"

8:56 pm

lol what brought all that on anywho?

8:57 pm

the phoenicians, I am working with a classmate to create a 30-minute mini-lesson for 6th graders (potentially) as part of my master's program.

8:57 pm

it's a LOT harder than it sounds... *sigh*

8:57 pm

you can use my kids for tests subjects, if you would like...we are all MAJOR history geeks around here

8:57 pm

I tried cooley also TO, dunno

8:58 pm

that works minus one letter, sea

8:58 pm

:-D well, if it doesn't traumatize my own two labrats, maybe I will send you the details! LOL it's a game to "hook" students into the idea of trade/diplomacy/history/geography...

8:59 pm

hi -- are you tim or jellen this time?

9:00 pm

is this a final coming up?

9:00 pm

i think so, yes, but not sure....

9:00 pm

I think it would make a good intro to the era and provide a few words and ideas to support further learning and discussion.

9:01 pm

if I can "clobber" an opponent, why not CLOB?

9:01 pm

oh, Pooh! It's jellen...

9:01 pm

older cultures can be very interesting, if you find the right angle .. show some kind of relevance. maybe you can perform "phoenican rap"

9:02 pm

oh! LOL like a girlfriend wearing her boyfriend's jeans... rofl.

9:02 pm

phoenician rap.....tee hee!

9:02 pm

I don't know about rap... but the kids might be able to come up with something by the end of the unit

11:21 pm

I tried to ask te one who saw it, but he managed to not answer.

11:22 pm

He likes the books so much, I don't think the changes would be great with him.

11:22 pm

they took out main characters and changed quite a bit so you are probably right

11:22 pm

Jake did not like most of the changes either

11:23 pm

Speaking of your amazing kid, how's he doing? was the assembly today? Did he get his recognition?
