nite flosey herin grem pav all.....going.... poof

1:45 am

watched the clip - v.clever. Whoever produced that clip had better production values than the movie itself.

I havn't seen the movie

1:46 am

dont. I watched it purely out of professional interest. I lasted 30 mins.

Right

1:48 am

they put the movie out too quick in order to capitalise on the bok success. Sacrificed all the production in order to do so.

1:50 am

anyway, rant over now.

THat is ok Dachef

What do you do?

1:54 am

working in LA trying to get a large media project up and runing: books, games, and, yes, movie.

4:10 am

gd morning everybody, what a lovely grid!

4:21 am

am I alone or are there lurkers?

4:22 am

I'm lurking

4:22 am

hello mudd

4:22 am

I'm traveling today and will have to do the grid en route, so I'm trying to get a feel for it before I leave

4:22 am

the first 60 words were a pleasure!!!

4:22 am

where are you going?

4:22 am

The grid is good, but I have not gotten to 'lovely' yet ... hoping too

4:23 am

morning ... lurking too

4:23 am

I am in Kentucky, heading west to the Black Hills

4:23 am

mmmm, sounds wonderful!

4:23 am

hello teena

4:24 am

hi ruby, mudd

4:24 am

Have you a clue for the ad 8 please?

4:24 am

yes, ad8: sticking

4:25 am

ah, ty

4:25 am

ah, ty

4:25 am

I see why you like it ... hadn't seen the upper right corner yet.

4:26 am

unfortunately, I am not systematic and just jump all over the place

good morning all. trying to get a lot of the grid done prior to work, so far 137/86

4:27 am

hello red, you are too smart!!!!

ha, not hardly!

4:28 am

even so, I is very nice to see you!

4:29 am

I had 60 quick and easy ones, but the next 20 were harder and the rest will probably be impossible! lol

4:29 am

it*

I have updated my icon for an icon clue as well. I think my leprechaun was creeping people out anyway!

4:30 am

I tried again to change my icon, to Max this time, but still can't do it. Very annoying

DC seain is good at helping with that stuff.

4:31 am

I am embarrassed to keep asking. Ata did the first one for me and FM offered to help but I can't seem to get the hang of it

DC is the one to ask, or Pinikula has some instructions in her profile. Some people struggle with that aspect of babble. I am not a good teacher....I just sort of point and click.

4:32 am

I have a great photo file but can't seem to move them around

the easiest way is to drag the photo to the desktop and then upload it from there.

4:34 am

the instructions on my computer are all in French, which makes it even harder for me, e.g. desktop?

put the photo on your screen, and let it sit there instead of in a file. I have no idea what they call a desktop in french, escritoire?

4:35 am

hahah

4:35 am

I didn't know that word (shows how bad my French is) but it doesn't exist in my dopey instructions.....

I really dont speak French. but I just pull the icon from the file and drag it on to the computer screen and then let go. then the image is on the desktop.

4:37 am

ok, I will try that in a little while and hope to give everybody a big surprise -- big black dog with tongue hanging out!

Well, no matter, we like seeing you wantever the icon is.

4:37 am

thank you

Hi Everyone

Hello Lickety, how are you and the family?

4:38 am

5:13 am

Good morning all......any clues please for ha10?

its a bit like Greteling - from the fairytale

5:23 am

an in Hansels sister?

yes, you are nearly there

it sounds like it, but with an extra consonant

5:26 am

GOT IT Sarah!...thanx!

np

5:46 am

hey sarah.....

can u translate that ha10 clue into american?

anybody home?

6:33 am

ha10: what you should find on the end of your arm + what you do if you're in retail, but turn the double consonant into a single

I only get 7 letters from that m'luv

6:35 am

gerund form

6:36 am

Ohhhh I didn't realize it was a seven too. Yes, sorry, then turn it into an action!

ah, monkeys found the rest, ty NB!

6:36 am

(I always get overexcited when I get to give clues, you'll have to forgive me)

no, you did great, never would have found that!

6:38 am

me either, I got it from the gretel clue :)

weird word

6:39 am

I can't even guess what it might mean. We should all make it a target to use it today ;)

I looked it up, means giving a gift

now you can spend the day ha10

6:41 am

Just told Leo that I'm going out ha10. Target for the day: met ;)

lol

he might get the wrong idea!

6:42 am

I fail to see how anyone could get any kind of idea from that!

6:43 am

Unbelievably he knew what it meant. Ahhh, ex-grammar school kids.

well, I have that sort of distorted mind :-0

no way!

6:43 am

How many words today?

6:43 am

apparently it was in a poem he had to study for English lit at some point. Life is so strange sometimes.

that's the truth

6:43 am

223, Godthaab

6:44 am

Thanks.

6:45 am

Well, I'm off to...go out ha10, I suppose. But might just get food instead ;) see you later, Esprit!

bye dear, enjoy

6:46 am

good morning babble friends! oh, dear, did I miss nancy? LOVE that boy!

only just

6:47 am

feh

double feh

6:47 am

od ds

6:47 am

i have a very rare day off today! wahoo! gonna go out for brekky with some girlfriends, and then who knows?

how's your weather?

6:49 am

something new: rain! (ugh. I need an ark)

gray skies here and cold again

6:50 am

are you over your average rainfall?

peals the coating off my eyeballs as I walk through downtown

6:50 am

sorry, that wasn't very grammatical....

no

6:51 am

whoo! my sister's married name is in the grid today! wow!

6:53 am

is anyone watching the new "life" series on the discovery channel?

Yes, I eat that stuff up

I have seen 1 episode so far, but have others recorded

6:54 am

its really good, isn't it? there have only been 2, so you are okay

I saw the one with the stalk eyed fly and poison tree frog, cheetahs

the photography is miraculous

6:55 am

that was the first one. the next one is amphibians, and there are some FREAKY little critters in that family!

it's beyond fascinating

I had to buy the Planet Earth set, I couldn't get enough of watching it

6:56 am

those baby ducks leaping out of the tree get me every time....oh, and that poor, poor polar bear!!!

I know!

I have seen those bears in the wild up in northern manitoba

6:57 am

Good Morning Everyone - well I am all packed and waiting for the girls to show up - have some time to play - how is the grid this morning

it's a good one mom

6:57 am

seriously??? that must have been amazing! were you there to see them in particular, or were you just up there doing something else and some walked by or something?

6:57 am

morning mom!

ps Tri I never even knew a duck that nested in a tree

I was there to see them and the beluga whales. It wa summertime, so the bears were in a state of "walking hibernation"

6:58 am

neither did I!

6:58 am

I think I might get that in winter....

in walking hibernation they are kind of starving because their food source doesn't show up until the sea ice freezes

but they did happen to luck into a beluga whale carcass prob left by Inuit, so an unexpected feast

7:00 am

I try to tell the kids we can't get too upset when the cheetahs catch an ostrich, or the baby seals get it from a whale - they have to live too....but I always do root for the prey, secretly...

7:01 am

hello everyone

7:02 am

hi Annie

7:03 am

Hi Momneeds

yes Tri, I have seen those kills in Tanzania and it breaks your heart

7:05 am

morning annie!

7:06 am

wow, esprit, you sure have traveled a lot (((jealous!)))

7:06 am

Hi Trif!

I have but so much more I want to do, but losing a good job last year has hampered that

7:07 am

you should join this: http://www.travelerscenturyclub.org/

I know of that club

there is as aspect of it that makes me laugh though

7:08 am

I only heard of it when an eccentric old lady around here died, and her obit was just fascinating to read! she was SO proud of her membership in that club, though

even if they stop over in an airport to change planes they "count" that country as one they have been too

7:08 am

really? I thought you had to spend one night to have it count...oh well

7:09 am

My stats tiles dont go along with my grid - anyone else have that problem

even port stops on a cruise ship count . . . Oh, I have been to Spain (really, for 6 hours)?

7:09 am

oh dear mom! mine seems okay, but now will look more closely....

7:10 am

I can see stops on a cruise ship, maybe -- if you do get out, and at least experience something of the country. hey, it's better than never leaving the airport anyway

I suppose

I have a stamp in my passport from the Equator :-D

7:11 am

now that IS gorgeous!

pretty cool ;-]

7:13 am

OH MA GAHD ----SNOWING!!!!!!

oh yuk! I put my winter coat away and swore I would not take it out again but yesterday I really needed it

7:22 am

fashion

7:22 am

and then it gets the gerund, peri

7:22 am

Here in the country, salt is not used on roads. They use tiny stones, dirt and cinders. So when the snow melts we see all this crud alongside the roads, onto our lawns. We have to rake it out.

7:22 am

of course, ty, Trif

7:22 am

Hi Peri

7:23 am

Hi Peri

7:23 am

thanks Tri

7:23 am

Aha, I didn't see the -ing yet. TY

7:23 am

scrabbler, when the snow finally melted off our front lawn during the rains of last week, the annual "poo museum" was revealed...diggity outdid himself this year!

7:23 am

7:23 am

you are welcome!

7:24 am

Yes, Trif! Oh, that makes me mad, seeing dog turds all over. Deer poops are acceptable.

7:24 am

thanks Trif, that gave me 4 words

7:24 am

lol Tri

7:25 am

well, it is my dog, scrabbler, so I can't get too mad. Just get the scooper and set to work. I will add, my rhody's always benefit!

7:27 am

thats great - I am no where close

7:27 am

what bums me out the most about spring is how much needs to be done outside....everywhere my eyes fall there is something to pick up, burn, trim, prune -- it never, ever ends. sigh

7:28 am

Yes, that is what I realize when I look out windows--branches, twigs, leaves...gardens to prep.

7:29 am

why isn't "trannies" found in the dictionary?

7:29 am

I have a great 13 year old that just did most of that - will cost me....

7:29 am

and I was a naughty, naughty lady this fall, and didn't put everything to bed as I should have....

7:29 am

amen, hawk, amen!

7:30 am

maybe they are too busy whooping it up in provincetown to sit quietly in the dictionary?

7:30 am

new word for me.

7:30 am

bbs

7:31 am

hello everybody. Although it's cold and gloomy today, I jusy bought a mauve lilac and three new lavenders. Spring is here!!! Or else

7:32 am

Hi Ruby. I love lilacs.

7:32 am

hi ruby...scrabbs beat me to it..I also love lilacs

7:33 am

7:33 am

bye Trif

7:33 am

we have many buddliea (started with one, but that's another story), but no lilacs. I hope it grows fast, though, because it's even shorter than I am!

7:33 am

There is an annual Lilac Festival in Rochester, NY every spring. I think it is in Highland Park--loaded with lilacs.

7:33 am

Bye Trif. Enjoy the day.

for some reason i can often get a 9 or 10 but struggle with 6 and 7

7:23 pm

I wish they would just put "compound word" because I find them as soon as I shift my thinking

7:23 pm

i just assume anything over 8 is a compound word

7:24 pm

I should start doing that !

8:00 pm

that is a sacred text trif

gotta work in the morning jmc, gotta say, very very stressful.

8:01 pm

found the gerund 9!!! (ata smug)))

8:01 pm

sorry to hear that red -- i thought you liked this new place

i have no 9, or ten...

8:01 pm

***touched by his noodly appendage***

I do like it, but lately it has been difficult...but in general I like most things.

8:01 pm

ha! ata would have gotten it without a hint so :-P

omg the flm started a huge row in the chog in the wayback days.

8:02 pm

i hope it is just because it is lots of work rather than personality issues

8:03 pm

welki, good for you!!!

8:03 pm

It wasn't the spaghetti monster so much as it was one person's arrogant intolerance ..

i have ta 9 may i have t clue for the other pls?

8:03 pm

no way! how long ago was this?

well, they are combined...but it is getting better, if I see a few more mobile homes head north, I will be happier...

8:04 pm

se9 compound - she sells se******* etc

8:04 pm

she se5 se9 by the seashore

8:04 pm

hmmm...arrogant intolerance... i only joined a little more than a year ago, so it wasn't me (surprise, surprise) ...

ah so you remember that tor? we didn't have them as often as now but there aere some doozies

8:04 pm

so it is the snowbirds getting to you?

8:05 pm

SO BUMMED I missed it!

8:05 pm

welki that is you defined!

ty je. trif don't be, was not enjouable

8:05 pm

It was a few years ago .. It cost us a bright young Babbler as I recall ..

8:06 pm

I can't believe that! how could a fight over noodly appendages not be enjoyable?

8:06 pm

short fun spats are fun

8:06 pm

it is when someone takes them personally that i don't like them

8:06 pm

it had to be better than this year's "puppygate"

hmm was that the one that got jacs canned?

8:07 pm

*sigh* je re*** me like a book.

8:07 pm

:-P

i mean i don't want to relive it, thtalk of the fsm caught my eye for that reason

8:08 pm

hehehe, but you're the one who brought it up and enquiring minds want to know

8:08 pm

okay then. primo and I very much enjoy the FSM, and he even has the silver car ornament and all....

8:08 pm

gees the guy who is the ordained minister of the fsm religion doesn't take it that seriously

8:08 pm

I brought it up.

well i don't see how fights are enjoyable. discussions are but not fights

8:08 pm

i think it is a definition thing

anyway, i'd like a few clues plos?

8:08 pm

The whole point of the fsm was to ridicule peoples' religious beliefs and mock them as stupid ..

8:08 pm

hmmm. 69 left and gridlocked all to spaghetti monster hell. Do we have a list today?

8:09 pm

to me a discussion and a fight is not that different

fe4.8 and 5/18 pls?

8:09 pm

there is a list

8:09 pm

I am pretty religious, but not ignorant, nor closed minded.

8:09 pm

yes trif, but owl said it caused "a huge row..."

8:09 pm

I am also pretty AND religious!

8:09 pm

At least that's how it went down here ..

lol je

8:09 pm

i am quite religious but don't care if others are not

8:10 pm

lol trif

remind me never to get into a dicussion with you! :P

8:10 pm

<-- simply doesn't give a rat's patootie

8:10 pm

but there are those in the chog who get upset at the slightest discussion

8:11 pm

I don't want a rat's patootie, so I am glad you are not giving them!

8:11 pm

*check's purse for a rats patootie*

8:11 pm

if you find one, it's a sure sign it's time to clean out your purse

hmm are we talking arses again? ;)

8:11 pm

mind you, my cats left a mouse's patootie on the living room carpet this week, so if you want that, you can have it.

8:11 pm

*cough cough sputter*

8:12 pm

I am not religious, but I respect others right to believe what they want ..

8:12 pm

Sok, jm, I was married to him once.

8:12 pm

oh I think it might have been me, I had no idea of the cost.

8:28 pm

hi krista

8:28 pm

an effen fortune red

seriously i have no idea how much, and a babble cake would not be intricate, just a regualr cake with a grid. don't you wonder hwo those cakes taste? i mean so much work goes into the sculpting...

8:29 pm

hey jmc...we can't afford a cake, but we can drive by and take silly tourist pix in front of the building

i will make us one!!!!!

8:29 pm

i know how fondant tastes --blah

8:30 pm

there is a thought krista

i haev a recipe i have =been wanting to try

8:30 pm

go TO go

i need 6 words,never mind a cake

8:30 pm

yeah, the prettier the cake, the worse it tastes usually..too much food coloring and fondant...sounds good Owl

I wonder TO, as some of the cakes are made of rice krispie treats....

I need 69 words, and no cake.

well we will need food coloring

the best cakes come from whole foods though!

8:31 pm

anyone have ly6/24?

8:31 pm

i mean the big crazy cakes, Owl

you know duncan heinz makes that tubular frosting that you could put the letters on with. Oooh, now I want to make a babble cake.

kirsta i agree!

8:32 pm

not yet vl

hmm thinking that would be the place for fondant

8:32 pm

hi all

if anyone is into decrating, i will bake it and preapre frosting

8:32 pm

They did a Scrabble cake once...

fondant for the yellow pieces, you know what would be excellent is a green cake and then a raised cut out layer for all the letters.

8:33 pm

hi nrkii

hi nrk!

8:33 pm

Heya nerkster ..

8:33 pm

sounds good, red

8:33 pm

hi nrkii!

what do you think of a babble cake for our meetup?

I want to try to make it but have no skill!

Hi Nancy!

8:33 pm

krista make the letters and bring them to put on the cake

nice, red! very nice!

8:34 pm

as long as the letters are pure dark chocolate, I'm all for it

is someboday taking this all down?

they could be cupcakes, if someone has a square cupcake thingy

8:34 pm

none of that fancy sugary stuff

8:34 pm

don't look at me i am the only mother in the world who's childs class had to be forced to eat the cupcakes i made for his birthday

8:34 pm

I'll get on that right away, lol..I do have little letter "cookie cutters" for fondant, but they're not in our "font"

hate dark chocolate, but I can tcome soooo.

BINGO! GENIUS!

really jmc???

8:35 pm

really it was humiliating

chocolate they shall be!

krista....that is awesome!

8:35 pm

square cupcakes...i like that

jmc, did you not follow a recipe?

krista will be incharge of lettering

8:36 pm

i did but they were terrible

8:36 pm

poor jmc

8:36 pm

after that i let my husband do all the baking

jmc, I am so so sorry. Your son seems to have grown up well despite this!

8:36 pm

*hangs head in shame*

8:36 pm

I AM A FAILURE AS A MOTHER!

8:36 pm

*sobs into keyboard*

I feel too stressed from work today, I can not seem to let go...

no no jmc, you are just a cupcake failure.

no. you are a failure at baking cupcakes. big difference. and maybe it was your oven.

8:37 pm

sorry to hear it red... what does "in the box" mean?

8:37 pm

*sniff*

ALWAYS blame your oven.

8:37 pm

it was my oven!

8:38 pm

yay!

I was in triage, adn thus endured the rage of all those who could not be seen in an appropriate amoutn of time.

:D

8:38 pm

hee hee works for me

8:38 pm

ah, got it

I sadly wanted to see them, I really did.

8:38 pm

too bad red that is a rough gig

8:38 pm

Ugh, I don't know how you do it Red

Triage is often in a small room, hence the term "Box" used all over the country.

It's really ok, but I worry a bit. I got yelled at by a variety of physicians, and patients and the charge nurse once today....

last sh5/14 pls ?

But the physician made me laugh. he calls to tell me he saw a guy in the office....he's worried about the guys airway and breathing...

8:39 pm

sh+not beginning

and then instead of calling an ambulance, he sends the guy in the car with his wife....

8:40 pm

yes?

8:40 pm

Now we're down with the lingo. Next time I'm in the ER I will refer to the box and get seen in record time.

ty

LOL

8:41 pm

Well, if it's anything like here, his wife got him there faster.

if youthink someone has a chance to stop breathing, best to call paramedics, not let the wife drive him over. you now.

8:41 pm

ah i thought the kicker was going to be that the wife was the cause of the breathing problem for yelling at him

getting him there is not the issue, its if you think someone actually has an airway problem, then he should be with someone who can do something about it, like be at the physician office until the medics can take him...

8:42 pm

evening all...

8:42 pm

PINI!!

ok, done now, I am still spitting nails.

8:42 pm

JMC! ;)

8:42 pm

bic pen and a hammer

8:43 pm

Ooh Pini, I had that

pls? it's my last word

8:44 pm

Sleep well, Red. Hope you can shake off the cares of the way. Not easy is it.

8:44 pm

they made me wait a month before surgery, so the inflammation would subside

8:44 pm

it was a long month

8:44 pm

8:45 pm

vic, what kind of dog is that in your icon?

9:01 pm

I was wondering the same

9:03 pm

two second vent: mr. hate called to ream me out for entering this as my status on FB: "there is a RARE mix of people at the Brockton family court." He 'phoned to DEMAND that I remove any reference to our divorce from facebook, unless "the kids see it." what does he think, that they don't know?

9:03 pm

I can list, I can list!

9:03 pm

(back after my first blush)

9:03 pm

that is Lily my 8 month old labradoodle

9:03 pm

and he bases his right to demand on what?

Shirlockc did u get th HA 10?

9:04 pm

Doesn't sound like it was specifically mentioning his divorce...

9:04 pm

or labraterror as she is called around here

9:04 pm

Vic, she is a cutie!

9:04 pm

I have no idea. his last FB post was written by someone else, and it was in April of last year. Guess he keeps an eye on ME however!

9:04 pm

...besides, I'm not sure he has the privilege or right to tell you what you can and can't write :)

9:04 pm

Trif, mr hate is an idiot, ignore him.

9:04 pm

cuteness is her saving grace!

9:04 pm

okay. done. mr hate does not merit chog air time

9:04 pm

well pfffttttt is what i say to mr. hate

9:05 pm

What a Richard ..

9:05 pm

lol, vic. i've had furballs that fell into that category

9:05 pm

I've written things on my FB that are in reference to specific individuals; however, the only ones that know that they're aimed at them is them; otherwise they're "generic"

9:05 pm

but we love them anyway

9:05 pm

honest to god, a big part of me wants to tell everyone I know to go to his page and write "you are a DOUCHE."

9:05 pm

Um, can you "unfriend" him, lol? Or is he finding this out in some sneaky way?

9:06 pm

oooh good idea krista!

9:06 pm

block him from your fb!

9:06 pm

wait, can I block him ?

9:06 pm

yes we do, vic. little stinkers know how to worm their way into our hearts

9:06 pm

got to go, bye all

9:07 pm

Hello jmc.

10:22 pm

while i'm there will look for apartments and jobs

10:22 pm

Scrabbs - if you want a pet mouse, go to a pet ahop for a domesticated pet mouse. Wild mice will not respond well and you''ll get upset.

10:22 pm

*shop

athens georgia? or greece? or... ?? is there another athens?

10:23 pm

oh no scrabs!! ((hugs cousin by proxy))

10:24 pm

Scrabbs - just being caught and handled is enough to lead a wild mouse to die of stress. (3 days max)

10:24 pm

athens georgia - where i used to live

10:24 pm

qu6-27 the 1st please....thanks

10:25 pm

Buffalo + NY state are in dire financial/economic states.

10:25 pm

Thanks babbs.

10:26 pm

10:26 pm

Ok, Jacula, I will leave the mice alone.

10:26 pm

ywc

10:26 pm

florida is pretty deplorable economically right now too

10:26 pm

10:27 pm

10:27 pm

she se5 se8 by the seashore

10:29 pm

se8 she se**s se8 by the sea shore

10:29 pm

Bye all - better go do stuff

10:29 pm

Things are bad economically everywhere - even in Wyoming where my son lives (which was supposed to be unscathed by the bad economy) the police department told all police officers they will need to work 2 weeks without pay...that's 80 hours @ $20+ an hour...it adds up.

10:29 pm

later lynxxx

10:29 pm

Bye Lynxxx. TY for clues.

10:29 pm

bye lynxx thanks for all the help

10:29 pm

Scrabbs - I know, but even a baby mouse is still a wild mouse. Mice are fleeting but nice pets to keep, but if you want a year+ rather than a few days, then get a mouse from a reputable pet shop.

10:29 pm

bye lynxx thanks for clues

10:29 pm

thx lynxxx

10:29 pm

thanks

10:30 pm

how many pini?

10:30 pm

33

10:30 pm

I don't really want a pet mouse, but my intent was to rescue an animal.

still can't find stid

10:30 pm

get'r dunn pini

10:30 pm

go pini go!

10:30 pm

gotta take koda out tho...

10:30 pm

plus pet shop mice won't have Hanta virus

10:30 pm

it's a gerund marc

10:31 pm

Having said that, we did have a champion moue that made a few years. (That was the one I put into my cleavage, with bubble wrap and foil around him to try to make him live.

10:31 pm

down to 71 here and feeling rotten (bad mama evening) I think I may just wander away

10:31 pm

ewwwe jacula!!

10:31 pm

i can't imagine living with a mouse in my cleavage

10:31 pm

Silly Jacula!

10:31 pm

LOL Jac you are a true animal lover!

10:32 pm

rofl Jac! that would be the 3500 DDD cups?

10:32 pm

i'm right behind you stidmama - have five left but i hate those re- words

got it thanks

10:32 pm

*innocent mama look* that's how the conversion goes, right?

10:32 pm

go babbz go

10:32 pm

I would never put a mouse in my cleavage no matter how much I wanted it to live

10:33 pm

Scrabbs - leave the mice in our basement alone. If you find an injured mouse outside, either place it into a safe place from predators (under an outbuilding or something) or, if its injuries are too severe, let the predator finish it off quickly, or do it yourself.

10:33 pm

stid, a mama that plays rock band with her kids is not a bad mama

10:33 pm

Uh, oh, Duke is now ahead by 9.

10:34 pm

a mama that scolds the kid for being overly OCD-sensitive and throwing fits (blaming the dog for his failure to match pitch in singing) is perhaps not a good mama though

10:34 pm

38D (UK size) and George (named after Mr. Clooney) wa s no problem top pop in there to try to warm up.

10:35 pm

good night all, it was a good try! Wish me luck with my daughters send-off!

10:35 pm

anyway, it really killed the mood of the evening.

10:35 pm

re7-32 please.....thanks

10:35 pm

bye babbz

10:35 pm

ubet

10:35 pm

Bye Babbz

10:35 pm

sweet dreams babbz (((hugs))) may your child's journey be pleasant!

10:36 pm

no, even OCD people need reality checks sometimes. We all have to learn to own our own behaviour without blaming. The poor dog may not have helped but is was for fun, so not to worry

10:36 pm

sounds like a good mama to me stiddie

10:36 pm

gap - crimon coloured + the loch monster.

10:36 pm

thanks for the re 7!

10:36 pm

Bye babbz. Blessing to your daughter and her friends

10:36 pm

(((hugs and choclits -- or brandy -- for everyone)))

10:37 pm

what bugs said

10:37 pm

Thanks much, Jacula. Fireworks. See y'all at the flip.

10:37 pm

and also with you stid

10:37 pm

Yippee gapeach!

10:37 pm

whoo hooo peach

10:37 pm

My daughter had her 23rd birthday yesterday. She's probably still drinking to it now (3.37am UK time).

10:37 pm

I just wish mama-ing were easier on the heart. I feel sad when I can't smooth the whole world for my kids; when I lack the skills to help them learn the things that will let them be happy, productive adults someday.

10:37 pm

wow Jac! and you only 30!

10:38 pm

but maybe some things have to be learned in person, not second-hand.

10:38 pm

stid, read John O

10:38 pm

Alright, I am done with 122 left. See you tomorrow!

10:38 pm

happy birthday jac's dau

10:38 pm

done thanks for the help....

10:38 pm

stid - you're hoping for the impossible.

10:38 pm

off to my cold medicine world

10:38 pm

sweet dreams scrabs. (((many hugs))) may the day be bright and happy for you.

10:38 pm

YAY harpjane!!!!!

10:38 pm

Thanks jmc.

10:39 pm

John O? who is he?

10:39 pm

john O'Donohue I mean. He has the best line about how to forgive ourselves for the times when we parent badly. I will find it for you for when we meet

10:39 pm

mammaing hurts because if it didn't we would be really bad at it

10:39 pm

thanks Bugs.

10:39 pm

'Night Scrabbs. Hope I haven't nagged you out of the chog.

10:39 pm

then I must be really good at it today, jmc.

10:40 pm

what i said to my boy is "you are going to complain to your shrink about me for something. it might as well be this."

10:40 pm

yes, what jmc said

10:40 pm

anyway. I was a GOOD teacher today -- helped in my friend's class and the kids I worked with all made progress

10:40 pm

I like that, jmc!

10:41 pm

there you go stiddie!

10:41 pm

and we will never know what our kids take away from all our good intentions until many years down the road. Today will probably not even register with him

10:41 pm

and tomorrow it's the science fair, and the boys' concert on Sunday, and then back to routine (I like routine, though not the heavy reading load) on Tuesday.

10:41 pm

pini!!!

10:41 pm

*grin* selective amnesia for only the good times, maybe? LOL

10:42 pm

pini's walking her dog

10:42 pm

Definition of parenting badly - my Other Half's ex, when she ran away for 10 days after her daughter told he she'd been sexually abused by her Mum's parner. She decided that the 10 days away had made her realise she loved him more than she'd previously thought. Hence, her daugher is living with us now,.

10:42 pm

true Jac -- I am nowhere close to that leve.

10:42 pm

see stiddie you are better than that!

10:43 pm

or that level even

10:43 pm

i found that some of the things that i thought were particularly loving and wonderful my boy did not see the same way

10:44 pm

or, when I went to apologize to me oldest for the worst thing I ever did to him growing up. He thot it was when I dyed all his underpants pink in the laundry

10:44 pm

*gasp* really bugs? I am set for life! that happens REGULARLY!

10:44 pm

parents and kids have different views, that is for sure.

10:44 pm

stid - I wasn't trying to be competetive. I'm just still so p*ssed off at what someoe who should never have been allowed to breed did.

10:45 pm

when my hubby was in hospital with brain surgery i made a point of having boy live in apartment with me and arranging a fun thing every day and he told me years later he felt neglected by being sent to a new thing everyday!

10:45 pm

Pink pants is funny, and if that's the worst thig you ever did, you're doing well.

10:45 pm

He had no remembrance of the most horrible thing I could ever have said to him and did one day. I carried the guilt of that for years. but the pink underwear that I figured no one should be seeing? ....

10:45 pm

i was killing myself to work out a good time for him!

10:45 pm

I am somewhat handicapped by not remembering most of my childhood. I envy my friends who have clear memories of growing up; all I have are a few vignettes and the occasional random image that pops up.

10:46 pm

back

10:46 pm

whew pini i was waiting!

10:46 pm

10:46 pm

10:47 pm

no pini, down to 57.

10:47 pm

everyone is helping me get perspective on mothering. (again)

10:48 pm

I think that we all carry far too much parental guilt.

10:48 pm

you should try having your kid for an employee!

10:48 pm

hi all -- just here to change my icon, then off to watch the curling

10:48 pm

hi cyber

10:48 pm

no thanks, jmc! I would like to have the potential for sanity!

10:48 pm

hey nan! great hat!

10:49 pm

Thank God the musical Hair is back on Broadway again. Maybe we can all chill out again whilst prtesting against the altest war.

10:49 pm

10:49 pm

I've had my kids work for me periodically...

No one warns you about being in your 40s or 50s and waiting for kid to come home, do they?

11:02 pm

As assembled!

11:02 pm

*giggle* i thought clinton handled it well

11:03 pm

11:03 pm

half the words I need are plural or gerunds

11:03 pm

go stiddie go

11:03 pm

I couldn't wait until they both moved out and now I miss having a "presence" in the house...so they know the door is always open for them.

11:03 pm

Parenting is for life, so long as you are kept up to date with their movements, or even their flight numbers if venturing abroad, the worry never ends.

11:04 pm

never, jac!

11:04 pm

I keep trying to encourage him to eaat healthily, since his cholesetol count is high, and I can hear him breathing like my uncle did. The one who had 2 heart attacks and eventualy died of lung and bowel cancer. But every healthy meal I make, e turns into an unhealthy one by whacking lots of bread and butter into it.

11:11 pm

probably still healthier since the bread and butter is on top of healthy food

11:13 pm

is the NE 5 fishy?

11:13 pm

I love his haiy chest, even though I hated the thought of hairy men before I met him. I don't want to see that lovely chest with a bloody great operation scar down the middle of it. And, anyway, he's my toyboy - he's suppossed to outlive me.
