hi, easiest NBT ever - in order in 21 words.
nbt...whoo-hoo!
wtg Douglas
this icon does not represent my present mood, by the way

a bit of a gloomy theme!
good news that, flosey
thanks jill and dc
good to hear flosey
lol, love that flower you have Dee
ty hubby took that photo at a chihuly exhibition in Pittsburgh at the phipps conservatory
sometimes I get an icon I'd prefer to keep! not much one wants to year about frowns!
Entering ta4 under protest...isn't there only one?
true
more than one
I kinda like my cross kitty.
Let's go to Reno, just to play ke4, let's get away from it all!
if you're thinking of the one i'm thinking of douglas...it can also mean a sailor
thanks Douglas
I have the sailor one, dart, the one I'm protesting is different
city in new mexico? lol
I need the lower right-hand E for nbt
el 4
ty for that fish, dart
It wouldn't be in the dictionary as the NM city, as it is a proper name
that ta4 is the singular form of greek temple
(waiting for flosey to ask for the ne 4 now)..lo
4 words based on the letter A - literally
thanks ru - lol, hey, since I've come in late, I appreciate every bit of help

hi nan, dee, et al
hi Pini, I was late coming in too
howdy, pini and nan
ty Dee, one of my favorite colors too
geez.. dee is done and I still don't have nbt
I was late too
There is a Klingon alphabet...a Klingon Babble grid would be the nerd honeypot of all time!
hi flosey, dc, peri, ru...
neither do I, ruru -- still need the lower E on the right.
I think I arrived here earlier than you, ru :~)
Hi pini
hi pini

song lyric from a few years back triggered by your mentioning gasoline. Literally "give me more gasoline"
nbt ;)
indeed, dee :)
ahhh ;)
With ar5, I've burned through half of the words
thx for that one, douglas ;)
*thinking sprite is going to have a fit with all these k's*
omg! 13 of 'em????
mayhap, though 9 are really easy
good one douglas
phantom: kerosene
at least no k above 5 letters and all normal words
both phantoms could cause douglas' burning sensation! :)
OK you dear people, I am going to go buy lottery tickets 'cause I have....nbt....I got the K's... and just over half the words in the grid which for my standards is like fireworks! This is going to be a good day!
See these eyes so green I can stare for a thousand years Colder than the moon It's been so long And I've been putting out fire With gasoline
wtg mar!!
Oh, Hi everyone!
what a lovely start to the day, marmar!
well done, marmar ;)
It's a good day, mar!
Thank you, thank you (taking a bow)
nice one, douglas
and i think i want Tom to go for a sleep study. He's asleep on the couch, was snoring, and woke up choking.
oooh, 1/2 way!
That's a David Bowie song, which appeared in the movie "Cat People" (which I never saw)
did jilli leave?
uh oh, dc
*!* ta da *!* :)
never se4 it either, douglas
wtg nan ;)

Thank you all -- never woulda...
i wish people elsewhere understood that Virginia is large enough that commuting from Northern VA to Tidewater VA for a 23/h job is not worthwhile.
the opposite of skinnioes
It was a kinda sorta science fiction movie of the mid-80's
lol
i should respond to the recruiter that that needs 45 or so /hr
I am surprised the recruiter did not ask you what you needed...
nor apparently look at a map :)
fading fast, best get going...night all ;)
g'night pini
me too, nite all
Did the recruiter realize you would not relocate? Maybe that also needs to be addressed?
It didn't hurt that it had Natassialicious Kinski in it
g'night peri
don't know where he found my resume online, though i've indicated an unwillingness to relocate, and list only 4 area codes i'm willing to work in.
and the SE corner of VA is in none of them
apparently, he or she wasn't doing a very good job of matching a candidate to an open position... really frustrating when they do that
I've been waiting for my slow-as-Christmas internet connection to tell me that Cat People got a 64 rating at rottentomatoes.com, which is a pretty good rating from the critics
indeed. there's a few i've talked to - usually in California that try to explain that Gaithersburg, Maryland is 15miles from me. I usually ask if they saw a map, as it's 30-40 miles as the roads and ferries go
eh, small things in the end.
that is a decent rating on rottentomatoes, douglas
(my i'm chatty tonight)
isn't that what "chat" is for :~)
*stands back to let DC go on*
What's really impressive is dc juggling multiple threads
uh, what is rottentomatoes?
rottentomatoes.com is a site where the opinions of movie critics and lovers of movies are aggregated
thanks, doug!
I use rottentomatoes to help advise my children about movies they should and shouldn't ought see, not on the basis of content, but on the basis of quality
I'll have to check out that website
I have only used netflix.com and imdb.com before
nbt at last!
I sure was thick about that E!
wtg, jilli
wtg jili!
rottentomatoes.com is a good site
nice to hear of it
I was away from here for a bit -- that's my excuse ;)
Does anyone remember that film for cameras called Agfa?
i do, and tried entering it
imdb has ratings from the general public, but rottentomatoes is something to add to one's list of movie sites
I remember Agfa film
lol, dc!
I have never seen that
what, Agfa, dee? You're probably too young.
I remember seeing it in Europe. I spent a year in England in 1965-66, and traveled in Europe a good bit
Oh, was it not American?
What is it about?
they used to advertise in Nat'l Geo, and i remember it being available at local camera shops
dee, Agfa is/was a brand of camera film
I don't think it was American
doesn't sound american
agfa is a german company, i believe
funny, how we can remember brand names for so long
In Netflix it is called "Life According to Agfa", and it is in Hebrew
Agfa-Gevaert
just monkeyed to6 and 7, odd words!
hm, must be a Hebrew word too.
wtg flosey!
just changed my icon, perhaps on a white background it isn't as gloomy!
frownie is always gloomy :~)
it's cuter flosey
does my kitty look gloomy?
mine's a happy one
he certainly looks displeased :)
yes, it's cuter, but not a white background.
You're kitty looks like it thinks of murder all day long!
hmmm, that's strange
ah well
oh ruru -- I hadn't seen your wonderful birthday icon! Thanks so much! Ruru-dog is still showing here!
flosey, is it a .gif and not a .jpg?
tooo much sadness to do frownie.... one of my friend's hubby is in hospital now for blood clot in the lungs... they almost lost him Saturday... happened week after he buried an aunt and a cousin...
oh, I see what you mean, dee!
oh, how sad Dee
oh, my dee. best your friends
seems like so many of our friends have had major challenges lately
ah, didn't check that Jilli
now they think his cousin who just died had the same thing Bret did... Bret was diagnosed and treated properly, and his cousin wasn't...
cousin was only 56
ruru, I'm floating as high as that cake now that I've closed down and come back in and see it right here :)
oh, dee, that's awful!
apparently Bret is being saved for a purpose is all I can think.... his wife seems to be holding up pretty well so far...
too much tragedy in your life right now dee.. I am sorry
just monkeyed ag6 & 7
thanks ru.... happy though... going to see our daughter this weekend and I cannot wait!!!
wtg jili
wtg jilli
she coming to you?

hello ruby
hello flosey, hi ruru, hello volley mom and jilli
wb, ruby
It was only for a year, alas
we are visiting her this time (so I don't have to worry about doggy paws on the white carpeting)
hi ruby
her serious boyfriend just received a promotion ... and he has only been there a year YAY!
my son left yesterday and although it was a good visit, I am glad that he and wife are in Italy now. Maybe it will be warmer than here
that will be good for you dee..
do they live far away?
they live in Austin and I only see them every year or two
about 2 1/4 hours from her with rush hour... hopefully it won't be raining. She is on call for the weekend, but we'll eat, drink, and be merry nonetheless (she won't drink, but I might have a margarita)
but he brought me his CD (in my profile) an it's very good *proud mama*
sorry, I thought you were asking me.... :( stupid face....
<<<< dee is living large
lol for sure... interesting too ruby!

all regular words though sprite, you will whiz through them
yes, the Ks today not too bad at all
thanks :)
40 to go and will hope to get home in time to finish up tomorrow, Goodnight all
so far, I've ordered from the US to the US, but will try to figure it out. The"buying" site is :

Hi ruby!
found it
was your birthday wonderful jilli?
rubyfoo, is it called The Adventures of JrMushroom?
It's been great for several days, ruby, thanks!
<<<< puts fans on high so that the force will blow sprite past the k's in a hurry
yes, from a cartoon his dad did when he was a little boy in Europe
wowww jilli quite the cat!
oh thank goodness someone said there was a frown theme...I seriously just thought everyone was really depressed.
the happy face was my daughter, rubyfoo
looks like a cat from the group KIss jilli
it's a great photo!
lol no it is just the theme. And frowns can be funny or beautiful too!
Ruby -- sprite's smile was yesterday's icon (her daughter as a little girl) -- I guess you have to refresh to see her frown icon (adorable)
my dogs only smile
heh, well yours is quite nice sprite :)
ok so it is the CD, then I will see what can be done
thanks! :)
I frown, but wd scare everyone away
ypi
sprite, you are so nice to try!
you're welcome that is :(
as usual, the first 50 words were easy. Happily, I'll have some time later
I've had no time while the visitors were still here
night all.. we should make this jilli's birthday month.. and really stretch it out
there, in theme now :)
I'm smelling the yummy smells of da4 coming from the PB
OK, I'll bake a cake this afternoon and then we can all make mistakes and share it!
yay for cake!
Oh, formidable, dc!
Duke, duke, duke
he calls that photo of him Mr Crankypants :D
ohhhh some frown! Impressive!
and firewords with two missed plurals
yay seain!
YAY dc!!!
thanks, yall :)
ok, ordered. You should tell your son though, rubyfoo, that even though he has an international shipment possibility, it is NOT possible to leave the state blank. And in the Netherlands we don't have states :)
and as it's now 3, i should off to bed. The joys of the unemployed schedule :)
I had to put "other" when I ordered the one for the States from here
happy babbling, yall! {poof}
lol seain! *hugs* to you, sleep a lovely sleep with naughty dreams, and good luck with your interviews.
you are terrific, sprite, John will be thrilled
I did the same, then I was asked to fill in which other, or I couldn't continue
gd night, seain!
ty, sprite :) {re-poof}
night dc -- and best of everything
just monkeyed the ea8 & 9 -- new to me!
I picked the slowest mail option, so it will take up to 21 days. But I don't want to pay more for shipping then for the CD itself, loll.
I feel the same way! in the US the options are ridiculous and to send to Canada, you pay incredible taxes to boot
Tell me about it, ruby!
when your kids are famous, I'll drive to Holland to see their performances!
Ridiculous protectionism.
*thAn for the CD... sheezzz that was a stupid one
roflol doubt my kids will become famous. But they are spectacular, already.
ok, where are my last 4 Ks then if they are so common?? *frown*
hiding in the kn section, ok. Thanks all, got the Ks.
..... where are you all? ...
back, putting laundry in!
awwww poor me, all left alone by my lonesome!
Who will be a traitor knave? Who will fill a coward's grave? And wha sae base as be a slave? Let him turn and ****!
erudition in the middle of the night, douglas, I'm very impressed!
Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled ...
Do you know this song, ruby? It's the "unofficial" Scottish national anthem
(had it, though, Doug)
Scots, wham Bruce has aften led,
no, but it's excellent. Would like to hear it sung in a (lovely) scot's accent
(I don't have it....)
have you read Diana Gabaldon, rubyfoo? Outlander is the first book. Very nice accents!
(phantom: tanstaafl)
'By Oppression's woes and pains, By your sons in servile chains! We will drain our dearest veins, But they shall be free.
Ask and ye shall receive, ruby! http://tinyurl.com/2na6hp
you folks are amazing!
D'oh! The video I linked to has been removed! Waah!
oh no!
half, yay!
wtg ruby!
so... have you or have you not, rubyfoo?
and gratz on reaching halfway
is the h there just for a te***?
Try this one... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgskbCl WZ68
??sprite?
looks like it, yes.
see 2.25 am rubyfoo
no, but if Amazon has it, I'll buy it!
you won't be disappointed. Wonderful series. Good characters, amazing story, and it keeps on being great.
goose alert
but no plural allowed; why is that?
Would someone give me some ga4 for slapping, because I didn't see ga4?
if it is like in japanese, it may be because the plural is the same. Or, as far as I know hawaiian, the plural may be n***n***titiwiti or something like that.
I like the tititwiti lol
I have 5 ga4's, douglas, which ones or shd I write them all?
one of the best things of gabaldon is that she will not permit you to hate the bad guys. Just as you think you have them all pegged, she turns the plot and makes you think about them, see them as humans again.
ok, off to physical therapie. See you guys later, or tomorrow. Bye!
wind, +PL, not guys, pointy fishes,
exit closure
slang for weapons
do any of those help, douglas?
nothing beats that tiny Hawaiian fish, the umu-umu-nuku-nuku-apua'a
did you just make that up, jilli? It's hard to icture that as American!
No, I need to be slapped with some of the pointy fishes, for not seeing the pointy fishes
have you ever caught one, they're nasty
I'm too tired for fish-slapping, but I'm glad you got it!
no, ruby, I didn't make it up -- old-time babbler, franmag from Hawaii, told us about it.
too funny
99 words for now, but must go do kitchen stuff
((hugs)) everybody
bfn ruby!
doug, what does the pointy fish start with?
bye ruby!
The ga4, jilli
oh, so that's what that is. In Quebec it's short for a boy.
hi everyone
hi andree
I recall Tim the Enchanter when I see gr5/6
I haven't found any gr words :(
There are 5 of them, 2 of them are normal words, 1 is odd, 2 are not-really-English, more like Dutch
thanks, doug *thinking*
hi guys

So -- once through the list and 48 left for tomorrow. Bedtime now!
So goodniht all, happy babbling, and *poof*
I'm down to 4 and fading fast....please se5-10 the 3rd......thanks

Hello
hello, I'm back for 15 mins
hello herin and rolin
hi again douglas
hello ishult. How is the weather? We could use some Israeli sun here! Last year, at this time, we had roses and peonies; this year not even close!
isn't inee a dart poison?
I try it often, but it never works!
aperitif time then out to lunch! see you after
hello babblers, back for the last bit
Hello Sprite
helllooooo
hello Ata, are you practising your yodelling?
hi lyn and Ata :) An other word for the big E words is otolith. I bet Ata knew that!
yeeeessssooooooo!
ty for that!
:)
TY Sprite. I knew the big ones would be compounds
I've counted too many age rings on those things!
dictionaries don't have it. It is usually written as two separate words, i think.
wonderful, Ata, the things your brain holds!
but taenia is a phantom.
so is nosegay
awww poor wormies
oh please tell me, what does nosegay mean?
a small posy of flowers - I think to smell
yes, you hold it up to your no4
probably to get rid of the smell of the great unwashed
I love that word. In dutch we have a saying that when you are really beaming and radiant, your no4 curls. This word makes me think of that.
that is cute, your wee girl looks as though she could do with a good no** curl
hehehe yes she does. She is adorable though.
I might go and sit outside for a bit and read. It's lovely and sunny!
wonderful, Ata. Try and enjoy! Anything I can do to lift your spirits while you must endure the brace?
Enjoy Ata, hope you can get comfy
awww ty Sprite. I don't think so, I'm just happy that it's sunny and that I have a good book to read!!
good books are very good friends in times like these :)
very!!!
sigh Hello
hi Infernal
How you?
hi lady, bad day?
Just need a version of MYOB 17 but can't find it. Any help from babblers would be great.
How you Sprite and Ata and Lynxx
what is MYOB 17?
I am good
Accounting Software written in and very very popular with Australian small businesses
ah ok, nothing I could help with then, I am afraid. Thanks lyn.
Sprite also known as a giant pain in the arse
me neither, sorry Infernal
O and news news news. My b.f is very very lucky to have his car today. his works warehouse caught alight
bad?
oh dear, is he alright? No people hurt?
ooh - is that the one on the news tonight, a container of ACs?
Yes
As he says ''stock take CHECK one pile of molten plastic mosh
At least it isn't high Summer I suppose. Insured?
Sure is. What channel was it on?
9 I think
O didn't see it and I was watching. i haven't moved
It was very brief
You must have blinked
Ok. O and Clive Peters is in voluntary administration
Didn't like that chain. Wonder what they did wrong
They didn't have multiple signatures on their admin
http://tinyurl.com/yb3hf4d sorry has embeded media
fireflies. Bye all!
LOVES Sprite
My Goodness!
Bye Spritely!!
This is why you need dual signatures on checks in businesses
$30m - that woman was just a bit greedy! Isn't amazing that people like that think they can get away with it forever
We were talking about this in class about why you need these checks and stops
I bet they needed 2 authorities to transfer wages on line, but the other signatory didn't bother checking.
hi everyone
Very little is paid by cheque nowadays, all online - easy to get lazy
hi Carlee
HI Carlee.
In MYOB or programs like it you need these sort of checks
we lost everything to tax fraud when I was a kid and mum stopped doing the books
hi herin..lynxxx
Hi Carlee
hi herin.... hi there lynxxx
wow...major lag in chog
It was
An interesting Ode Carlee, you clever girl. What has been happening with you over the last year?
oh wow..is that still up?..i wrote that about a year ago
last year...well...in last 3 months I lost a job i loved b/c was sold out from under me... 6 weeks later lost the second job ( of same kind) b/c previous owner sued to get it back to shut it down ( nasty divorce alimony crap)... my husband moved out ( not heartbroken)..and now i am working for a criminal defence lawyer...so have entered the realm of murderes, drug dealers and child pornographers
Carlee can i say bitching on the job.
throw in girl guides...camps...and general "kid stuffs"...oh and rugby with my son...life is busy
heheh...it is pretty cool
Don't know if I could deal with scumbags that have done the crime but hey you have my dream job
But then again I have seen how the OPP work and they can be just as bad
glad to see your life is running as smoothly as ever!! but most importantly you somehow seem float along on top of it all. Good on you!
well... the scumbags are still people... and they deserve a fair trial... and.. all is NOT as it seems when u hear the whole story as u hear about the lives that brought them to whatever point they are at
As I said that it depends on the case. I have seen both sides. I really am jealous of your job
well lynxxx.. u can either get bent all out of shape...or..u can just keep moving... and i really hate wasting time on feeling all sad and mopey and so forth...the job is interesting..and i really love my boss...she is so fiesty
I have seen the prosecution side say ''alleged heart attack'' like the guy was faking it when MICA (EMTs ) were working on him.
Carlee I am jealous. It is something I want to do
same would be said of you Carlee (hugs)
Did your (ex?) husband fully recover?
thanks lynxxx..and herin...( i haven't said much about the job on fb herin...my boss's ex husband's 2nd wife is on my friend list....i havent told her i am working for her husbands first wife)
no..he never will lynxxx
Well Carlee sometimes it is best not to post work stuff.
Carlee that is not good
exactly...boss on my fb too
I had to take to the Dean of my course something someone posted in public about me (name included) on FB
yeap..my town a small one
but is a border town with USA
I know the feeling. I dogged out my ex's kids mum at the laundry matt about what a bitch she was and it turns out that this woman actually knew here
hahaha... that was a woops
You know Melbourne is a small place Infernal - silly girl
Well yes but it was something I would say to her face.
Meh. Didn't like her couldn't really care
Never put it in writing - isn't that called libel
As I said if I cared
Good Morning Babblers :)
hi Nono
Herin, Lynx, Carlee, how are you all
Hi Nono
very well Nono, how is life treating you?
so, so lynx but life goes on now matter what happens
hi nono
here here nono....life just keeps marching forwards...
yes it does Carlee so we might just as well go with the floe
Ok my dears must get on with things
take care Herin
pretty much..one thing i have deffinitely learned is things happen for a reason... i have seen way too mch in the last 3 years
take care herin..sleep well
bye Infernal
Think I've done as much as I can tonight. Bye Carlee & Nono
nite nite lynxxx,... and later nono..i have to get ready for work

the code for the phone is in my name,once he is five minutes out the door ,i can make a call and turn the thing into a 100 dollar paper weight if needed
One of my favourites as a teen was rolls and potato cakes
GMTA Herein
hi jean, hello rossy
crossy* poopy typing, as usual
and dont you know,you cannot starve the little dears,all they have to say is "dad wont make food for me" and 10 cops and 3 child welfare cars are on your front lawn lol
howdy ruby..crossy is steaming....
nah
even at 16? That's terrible! Ho2w are you supposed to discipline your own kid?
it's not like you tazered him or anything
the govt interferes too much
crossy is zaggerating ruby
And my response at 16 is there is the fridge
I think that in France, parents can't spank their children any more, but grannies can! lol
i am not when he was 8,i gave him a tap on the butt for something and the teacher says"son,why are you sad?" my kid said "my dad hit me" i had a 3 hour meeting with cops and childrens aid that day
but herin is correct ,he is on the fringe
that is a little over the top
bah i have to deal with dragon lady tomorrow
dragon lady?
I just learned, on this visit, that my ex told our son that I used to give him alcohol to make him sleep. A blatant lie
he slept through the night at one week
good grief
as did my kid
My teacher
and, of course, my son believes him. His father is God!
O and I am still pissed about someone on FB giving away Criminal Intent ending too
and I'm a sl**
nothing worse than ex,es poisioning kids minds about mom or dad
leave the kids to be kids and poison each other instead
I've been so careful, all these years, not to do that.
My ex's kids mum did that too me
it was a bad marriage, period! over a long time ago
and you are defenseless against that; it's like "When did you stop beating your wife?" lol
sigh..my wife was in a abusive relationship before me,i took one look at her coming to work for me all covered in bruises and all gaunt,and i went over and explained a few thing to the boyfriend;))
you're a hero, crossy!!!!!
i a man correctin g an animal that day
he suddenly found a need to be in a different part of the country lol
hahah
crossy, are you available for hire? and good morning friends!
Good
wow, what a hero!
hello trif, how are you doing?
seems he was clumsy that day,he fell and got a black eye,i tried to help him up,but his feet got tangled and he landed on the ground so hard,the wind got knocked out of him..man seemed to have some dental issues as well,i told him i knew of a good dentist..400 miles away
I have to go, folks, see you later
I am fine, ruby, thanks. gearing up for a loooong day
love to start it off with a little babble and a chat
hi, NB, didn't mean to be rude
hi everyone
Trfifffes
Loves Ruby
the babble chat is very comforting
anyways enough of old news
HI NB
hi sandy!!!!
no problem Ruby ;)
morning sandy! or evening sandy!
HI Sandy
feel like working the same magic on Leo's boss, Crossy? They are selfishly keeping him up in the north of the country.
evening, and just finished cooking one of our roosters (LOL)
lol,alas that i cannot do
nbt
herin, do you watch masterchef?
herin, I was introduced to a faboo webiste today -- it's so great! www.shitmykidsruined.com --- it is HILARIOUS!
actually, any of you that have kids, or have kids in your lives may enjoy it....
I have written it down trif
wife and i are already doing up plans for the kids room lol
Trifs I have seen it and that site really pees me off at how stupid parents are too how little discipline the kids have.
I'm enjoying this...following my Coming of Age day, I'm now an adult just like everyone else. So I can join in complaining about kids ;)
it is really worth the visit, sandy, I promise! any time your kids get to you, plan a visit...
lol nb
Oh, herin, trust me on this one, five minutes alone in the bathroom is all it takes for mischief to occur. and EVERYONE, even the best moms, need a little bathroom time now and then....
hi kids - and Trif - that is priceless - I wish I had a camera when my three-year-old (23 years ago) was taking apart his high chair with a screwdriver - he was pretty handy, almost disassembled by the time I found him
and congrats, NB - welcome to the wacky world of adulthood
that is good jbv!!! quite the clever young man....I am thinking of sending in a photo of the front end of my pathfinder, which primo was kind enough to "restyle" for me
well ta, JBV :) of course I celebrated in the most mature and adult of fashions...
but... haven't y
cough -- hangover -- cough cough
you also ruined things yourself?
why pick on the kids?
my kid used to take furniture apart as well,but he did not need tools
Trifs I mean what kind of idiot leaves a bottle of nail varnish remover on a very expensive table
herin may have something there - I sometimes think these cutesie photos and videos were actually staged
leaving things around is easy when you are chasing kids all over the place
hurshy is also correct, I would not want someone trailing mes around with a video camera -
the same parent who mistakenly figures a ten year old girl who has been doing her own nails for over a year without incident could handle it one more time. I spilled a bottle of nail polish remover on a wooden table when I was sixteen!
The said kid was 9
Worse than a mere hangover. I woke up clutching a pipe...nobody I know owns a pipe...
when my kid was 2,he drank an entire bottle of windex
Nancy did you also have a traffic cone?
bet he shone for a week, crossy!
Omg, Crossy!! what did you do?!
yikes, crossy - what happened?
secondo drank pretty much an entire beer at a party when she was 18 months old. it was a lawn party, someone left it down, she downed it.
it was one of the scented kind without ammonia,so it was allowed to pass natuarlly
Good grief.
Trifs o dear
that was the only time i ever had to call the poison control centre
the worst thing I ever ingested as a kid was given to me by my parents! what a role reversal
My friends dog was walking about at a p[arty all wobbley and she was really worried so she watched him wobble back to his corner and found empty cans of booze
listen, stuff happens! I am happy that there are parents with enough of a sense of humor to take a photo, laugh about it, and then get on with the cleaning up. if the kid needs punishing, then punish them, or at least have them help you clean up, or teach them WHY that was a bad idea....
okay, on that note, I have to toddle off to work. have a great day all, and remember to put the markers out of reach!
lol nowadays i have to put my wallet and car keys out of reach
personally, i think being a parent or a boss or anything gives you an unfair advantage - you can be much more aware and critical of the mistakes of someone you are in charge of than of your own, and they can't do anything back. i don't have kids, but i'm just relieved not to BE one anymore, so that when i break something or whatever, there's no outside critic to make me feel worse than i already do
wish i could get such a situation at work ...
as a parent we are there to advise,cause we have done all that crap before and do not want your kids messing up in the same way
'sprobably why i hate my boss so passionately.
now with a boos it is different,its my shoppe my stuff,do it my way..when your name is at the bottom of the pay cheques,we can do it your way lol
boss*
um, except at a big company when it has policies which your boss constantly wants to violate, putting you in a very awkward position.
mm
i am a one man band,not board room,no union,no commities lol
i envy you!
one of Nicky's friends who visits us regularly, has a 7 year old who is autistic. He cannot read or write ( I love him) but he can start a car, work on a computor, ring on any telephone, take any camera and work it - he is amazing in his own right
that is often the way sandy,i bet he will be a great photographer
but dont leave the keys where he can get them
lol
he is always asking where the keys to the ride on mower are
Sorry about that. Hey Hurshy
Sandy has your friend taught him Auslan?
wow...I can't even work a microwave accurately.
Auslan?
Australian sign language. Used to teach kids that are deaf and there is another similar one for kids with disabilities
Sandyy: http://tinyurl.com/2buzfo4
he can speak quite well and he doesn't ever shut up - Autism comes in a lot of varying forms
it certainly does sandy...i work with autistic kids..its amazing how it manifests itself
What I mean sorry to seem rude. Is there is books as well that help
they say his brain synapses haven't connected (or something like that) he also has 'petit mal' ceasures
Hi Rolin
hey herin
his mum takes him to all sorts of therapy
My friend in High School was highly dependant.
hi rol
epilepsy is very common as well
opps that friend in HighSchool was her brother.
Nicky's friend keeps her horse here and I go riding with her or I look after Jeremy while she rides
Does he like the Horses?
sandy... see if your friend has read a book called..'a friend like henry'... i recommend it
He has never paid them any attention but he loves two of our dogs and our cat - the other dog "Sydney' hates him while Jaffa loves him- he is very good with the animals
Sydney has never liked kids
its a big city....
Rol I have written that down, what is it about?
I remember this other fantastic book as a kid called Adams Ark
its a book written by a woman whose son had autism..the struggles they had with 'the system' and the way a dog unlocked his autism and how he has progressed to near independence
has to be read with a box of tissues at times tho
omg , rol , I won't be able to read it (shallow tear ducts) but if it is inspriring I could get it for Karen
its is sooooo inspiring... and you should read it... everyone loves a good cry...lol
but for now..im going out to grab the sunshine while i can..
I am particularly hopeless and I would cry for a week! My oldest daughter and I cried for a whole week after watching Dead Poets Society
awww Sandy
Loves Rolin
bye Rol
I like films like Sister Act - lol easy to watch and uplifting - We love 'Glee' here
I would love to see the new NIghtmare on Elm Street but I am too scared
want a movie that will mess you up? it is a older one called 'lorenzo,s oil" with nick nolte.it is about a child with als and his dad who fights to create a cure when medicine has given up
See it herin.....it's fab!!!!!
So is Iron Man 2
Ok
No I wont see it those films scare my stupid. I was scared stupid with se7en
one more 4 letter word to get and 34 left
good morning all
Good morning everyone
Morning Boo
hi boo
Hi Sandy
MOOOOOOm
{{Herin}} hello
hello Herin
heheheeh. A guy just punked the journo on tv
HI Boo
poor journal
*shuffles in and plops down* Hi, all!
morning Judi
HI Judi
HI Judi.
hi judi
I mean Journalist. The Journal fell for the age old joke of ''You worried about going deaf?'' WHAT and she repeated it three times
ok can someone clue the first fa5, I am definitely stuck on it please
halfway and off to take my mom out. Bye for now {{Hugs}} to all
fa5 - not true
thanks got it- hmm am I blind?
apparently not... yu are typing OK
sandy touch types. Good morning peeps.
howdy red
yes I do red, and hi to you
hey red... nausea gone?
indeed, it was veyr temporary.
KJE Red and bye MOM
hi herin
i do not touch type... i use only 2 fingers on one hand and 3 on the other - LOL
hey herin! thanks for the links
Morning folks
howdy bob
kje that is amazing. My Mom made me take typing, it helped me to no end in college.
hi
hi bob
KJE sorry there is not much vego recipes we are a land of meat
i dropped out of typing - i hated it... decided right then that i would never be a secretary and must learn other skills...
Hi Bob
I learnt how to type out of my sisters typing book
joke is of course, that medicine is all typing now... so i can go rather fast with my few fingers - LOL
I taught myself
hi Kje
someone said meat..crossy craves beef! and bacon..this diet is evil!!
exactly! all the documentation...
I had to type 42 slides today
australia - land of meat - LOL
My father used to crack this joke: 75% of typists use the touch system. The rest of us are hunt-n-peckers.
crossy to be honest your diet sounds like many of my regular meals.
i can hunt and peck 65 wpm lol
lol red
Crossy - are you on a particular diet or just the no fat, no fun diet?
no fat-no fun diet,im not worrying about carbs,colesterol or salt atm
I worry about cholesterol. but not too much.
Well, that's bad enough.
i do not,they will have to pry my eggs from my cold dead hands
it's about balance... all the extremes are not healthy
I was a medical technologist not a typist , but I have had jobs where i typed , it was always a useful skill
Kje Honestly can't think of vegie dishes probably the English in me
I had an egg for breakfast this morning, scrambled with spinach and olive oil, and an english muffin with spread and jelly....
i have eliminated 90% of bread,all beef,all bacon,all hard booze and added a ton more veggies and fish
I love me some salmon.
sounds good red.... i had coffee, 2 mandarins, and steel cut oats
Way to go, Crossy. How much have you lost so far, if you don't mind my asking?
kje that is actually a muhc better breakfast.
lol,cut with steel vs a lawn mower?
I've been doing lunch smoothies, an orange, strawberries and blueberries with milk.
im onlu stepping on the scales once per month on the 6th judi.so we will have to wait till then
My gods you lot are embarrising me. I live on coffee and Oats in the Am and what ever is kicking about in the day
i like veggie scrambles, red... several times a week I'll have scrambled eggs with brocolli, mushrooms, and tomatoes.... or scrambled eggs with salmon, chives, capers, tomatoes... all good stuff
I need to step on a scale, but ever since I had to oreder a bigger swimsuit, I am avoiding it.
Normally I wouldnt eat so much, but I just had come from a run and felt actually hungry.
flesate isnt a word, how come?
that isn't a big breakfast red... I find that if I eat more at breakfast, i will eat less the rest of the day
i like nice ric/veggie dishes ill add some egg,and broccoli and garnish with some bean sprouts etc
CrossieGues what
rice
what?
I have not bought a pack of smokes since 1st may
herin that is good news. are you saving a lot of cash?
good girl:)) yaa for herin!!! crossy gives big ole bear hug to herin!!
woohoo herin!!!!!
take the smoke money each day and save it up to reward yourself
Yes. Ok. I still have one to 3 a day but that beats the 15 -20 a day. And the Am coffee and smoke is starting to be a tad not enjoyable
oh,so not done yet...
You must have quite a stash of cigs if you haven't bought a pack since last year. Throw them out!!!
No but good though for me
crossy withholds bear hug...;(((
:( I am trying
good for you herin!
keep it up herin.. you will get there!
Judi I don't have a stash. I pinch them off himself. It beats the idiocy that I was doing.
keep it up!! you can do it
keep trying!
Oh Herin, its going to be hard to quit completely if he still smokes.
gotta run - hagd all
Excatly. I got sick and then they raised the price and I went WTF am I doing. I don't like
crossy i could give up all bread bacon and beef but forget giving up bourbon!
Too bad he can't quit with you.
i got a touch of pnemonia 2 months ago herin.dr says i would of been in hospital if i was still a smoker
someone said bourbon....
He is trying. He used to smoke a pack of 20 a day
yes,it is better if the house is smoke free,if you quit totally herin,he will have to smoke outside
i was reading your diet below and said i could give it all up except the bourbon
acupuncture work for my husband
it also works for crack addition which tells you something about cigarettes
x-rays with lots of dark shadows worked for me;)))
Ok random fact Crack Pipes are banded here with massive penalties
unfortunately my husband didn't quit soon enough :-(
good random fact lol!
here believe it or not all that stuff is classified under paraphanellia and legal
That's good to know, Herin. However, crack heads can make a pipe out of just about anything.
they make me sell water pipes in my shoppe
it is illegal here unless you can come up with a good explanation of a nonillegal use
:( JM
I found this out when I was looking at banned products
today is my wedding anniversary!
I am celebrating by going to a baseball game tonight
yaa for jmc!!! how many years?
Looking for an alternative to cigarettes, herin?? ;-)
25th
of course he was only present for 10 of them
Happy Anniversary, jmc!
lol no Judi. Part of a something I found during research for class
i am sorry indeed jmc
ty judi it was a wonderful day and i am happy to remember it
unfortunately i still have all the inlaws!
my wife is lucky,she has never had to deal with the evil mother-in-law
i am not so lucky however lol
my mil is less evil (although she has had her moments) than ditsy -- i believe she patterned herself after katherine hepburn in bringing up babby
lol,all i can picture now is K.H warbling in african queen lol
she did lots of comic parts
Good Morning Folks

Hello, folks. How is the grid treating you?
morning BR!
Hi BR - grid is not too bad today
anyone ever make a mock apple pie with Ritz crackers?
YES, vlcl!!!!
My mom used to make that when I was younger! Loved it!
(haven't had it in years)
Ive got 4 free boxes of Ritz so I am going to try it
(I didn't know anyone knew about it; was beginning to think it was her own recipe)
it really tastes goodd??
It sounds a bit buttery and crunchy, not at all bad Vici...
sounds yum - never heard of that before
sure does ;)
can someone tell me what i did wrong,,i was copying my words from clues to grid,,and all of a sudden i lost all my clues,,,i hit refresh clues but nothing happens
I will save you a piece
Yes, blitzkrieged the grid ere now.
My Mom used to make it when I was young too - it is good
nana, I am confused that you lost what clue or the words.
thx vlcl!!!
not sure you can doe it from clues to grid...can do from grid to clues...
doe = do
all the clues i typed in
in the left
vlcl...please let me know how it turns out!
nana you are typing clues?
yes
why are you typing clues.
44 words left - gonna go walk dog and make pie
clues or words?
I think we are using different terminology here
81 for me, dog has been walked, I need to go swimming soon.
because i really never cut and paste before,,
are the words in the word list nana
can u tell me how i lost them all
57 for me and I need to get ready for work...
are you trying to move them to lickety
i must have hit something while typeing
yes
i have 20 left
firstly do not ever cut and paste, copy and paste only.
mine fall off lickety all the time. I just have to copy and paste them back
have the bulk add box open on lickety - highlight the list of words, then drag them into the big box, then hit add bulk
why would you put words in lickety instead of directly into the grid? Isn't that double work?
thats what I do as well. except I hit control copy fisrt then control p. I guess I dont drag.
when I am trying to figure out what I have left I have my the system add the words. I dont type them in manually
btw - hello all - just wasting a bit of time babbling before I have to pick up 5 year old at school.
I need to leave in 15 minutes for a legal seminar so trying to get some last minute words
I just type the word or guess into Add Words and click Add
me too - but dont you use lickety BR
actually I just hit enter on the keyboard. Its faster
no lickety -- never have used it
I pull up lickety in a different window so I can have both open at the same time. then I figure out what I need and add it directly into the grid.
BR is brilliant and needs no lickety.
how do you know what you are missing
I use Lickety at the bitter end when I have 30-40 words left. I am hopign to someday stop using lickety alltogether.
I have two windows open too but on the big puzzle I need already gotten words put in to see what I am missing
start at the bottom of both word lists and work my way up. compare what I have to what lickety has. then fill in the gaps.
ahhh - me stupid - need lickety
lickety makes things much faster, i pick and pick at grid all day without him.
you are not stupid mom. everyone does things differently.
I show clarify, I do not use Lickety pro
that takes too much time minski - especially when stopping and starting the game several times a day
and luckily I have all day ot pick at the grid on my not working days.
to be honest, I don't htink I use lickety's list to its full potential. I just compare the 2 and fill in the gaps on mine.
what is clarigy br?
Pro does not work on a mac so I have not the option for that.
Good morning kids.
I dont have Pro either
Hi Scrabbs
Scrabbler welcome to the grid!
How is the grid?
fairly nice...
nicer than our weather.
grid is not bad
I type in all the words I can find and then use every available expediency to complete the grid, including sacrificing candy wrappers to the enable gods.
We have a beautiful, sunny day here--high of 71 expected.
only the wrappers BR?
candy wrapper sacrifice. that's serious.
pouring rain and 54 here
thats why he is so smart red
Scrabbs its already 80 here. 71 was our low last night. I resorted to AC due to the fever with the head cold.
Hi BR + Ata
It is grey and drizzly here in MA and the same temp.
Hello, Scrabbler How is the leg doing, Ata?
As long as you aren't sacrificing the candy itself no intervention is needed.
you are not far away from me Minski
we probably live about an hour apart.
I live an hour from the Mass/NH border
I work in Concord NH that is a little closer - heading to Manchester in a few minutes for a seminar
ok, I hope! First physio session tomorrow!
I live about 45 minutes from the border. It takes us just under 2 hours to get to Waterville Valley from here.
Yay, Ata, although you will have pain.
not to bad - north of Boston is much easier to get around
But it is the start to recovery.
I need to run folks - enjoy babbling - maybe see you all this evening
good luck tomorrow Ata
Bye mnh
It is time for me to go pick up kid and go to library to pay fines and return overdue books. Back tonight. TTFN.
Bye Minski

this grid is pretty straightforward so far. down to 36 left in about 15 minutes
lunch = BBQ chicken grilled flatbread, a pickle, a bag of doritos + mtn dew "distortion" its just that kinda day. :/
mmmm!
I wish we still could get Mtn Dew
Ata, you cannot get Mtn Dew?? This is a crime of great proportions.
oh no, did I miss Eva? :O
no, we can't. We used to be able to, but they stopped it
Perhaps that would be the only way I'd be able to quit my "habit" if totally unable to ge my hands on it. Addictive stuff, the Dew.
hello everybody
hi ruby!
I vaguely remember that they banned (?) it cos it had too much caffeine in?
It is loaded with caffeine, though now they have a caffeine free version.
looks like I did miss Eva...:(
hi all
what's the point of Mt Dew without caffeine!!
hi bqarb
kind of like coke zero..what is the point?
exactly!
everything is so slow here today...anyone else notice?
Last year they came out with Mt. Dew "Throwback" made with real sugar. Like when we were kids. Good stuff.
everything is so slow here today...anyone else notice?
now all we need is coke with the cocaine and we are all set;))
I am so old that they didn't have mountain dew when I ewas a kid: coke, pepsi, cotts's cream soda, hire's root beer
brb
sounds good to me, ata
lol Crossy...why ruin good coke...either one ;)
what i miss ruby is real ginger beer:)
we didn't have that either, just ginger ale, canada dry
canada dry is king here
we cqn get it here, too
can
back
here as well
hmm...guess I'll be off then!
by boy is currently in love with dr pepper
bye NB
tc nb
can't you get the "real" Coke too? not the cocaine version, but the real sugar version?
didn't there use to be a pop called Mr. Pib...before Dr. Pepper
when I was young, Dr. P was only in the South
I wish we could get decent cream soda over here
that was my fave when I was a kid, cream soda
it is mostly crap here as well
my father had a candy store (in NY), with a fountain, so I grew up with all the candy/soda/ice cream etc. I could want
there's a gorgeous orange cream soda I can get in a sweet shop in Oregon. *bliss*
until I was 12
the pink cream soda or the brown one Ruby? I like the pink myseld
and the hawaiian goose says hello
brown was ours
we have a clear cream soda
so do we
hmm
I've heqard that people mix Red Bull (which I've never tasted) with vodka, for a killer drink
that is made by jones no?...the pink one is made by Crush
vodka red bull is great!
all the kids up here mix vodka with red bull
my heart would just explode lol
I've only heard about that, but they advertise red bull on French TV
I used to be able to drink pitchers of the stuff ...
I'm impressed!
A very very good cure for a hangover is vodka and lucozade. I know. I have tried it....
note the *used*!
end up with a bunch of hyped up wide awake drunks
that's what I've heard; at least I had the decency, when drunk, to fall down and/or pass out
what is lucozade and hello, soodle
you move on to shots for that ...
sounds like a fruit drink with extra sugar?
how on earth do you describe lucozade!
how about jello shots?
it's sugar and extra full of glucose - it's used for sports people, and is the old fashioned gift for people in hospitals
I don't even know if they have jello here....
and it's bright orange
Hi everybody. Lucozade is a glucose drink - bright orange in colour, and totally yummy. the glucose replaces the whatsits you lost last night, and the vodka, well, the vodka just does what vodka does!
you can still get lucozade? can't get that here anymore...use to drink that when I was a kid and sick with the stomach flu
and tasted like nothing else
sounds wonderful
apple Lucozade is gorgeous
we had coke syrup for stomach flu
Lucozade, with or without vodka is a lovely drink. But very very fattening, and heaped with artificial colouring
I'll look for it as a mixer
sugar free Lucozade FTW!
hahah
you can get it now :)
I have 126 words, but I think that's it for me.
132!
go go go!
111 here hi all.
hello redt!!!!
how are you
hi again...not having much luck...everything keeps freezing up on me
hi barb.
Hello REd, and Barb
i'm good ruby, you?
hi soodle
recovering from company
ohhhh that will take a while.
for sure!
and a heron ate all of my husband's fish this week, so he is sad and miserable
there were more than 300 goldfish, some over a foot long!
id be eating the heron for that lol
what a shame ruby
poor goldfish
best not to put fish in a heron area, or put lots and lots of small natural ones.
he wanted to kill it, but probably won't see it again since the fish are gone
i love herons.... and fish,
oh my...here some people buy a fake heron and then the real ones stay away
Was it the same heron who was stalking your fish, Rubes?
he started with only "feeders", 23 of them and over 8 or 9 yrs had a great pond going
barbs thats a good idea.
yes, but it did all the damage within 4 days of my first sighting
this isn't a heron area!!!!
who knew?
the other thing is laying a net just on the waters surface so they can't get through it but you can still feed and enjoy the fish
I've seen them, but only in cultivated fields, not close by, where they seem to eat mice and voles
I suggested the net thing, but husband is a hard a**
i'd think ruby they would prefer fish.
certainly that's true in Florida, but here there really arent's many fish (except in our pond :()
So it was like a sweet shop opened just for him or her.
heron obviously couldn't resist the feast :(
I feel bad for him, because the pond was beautiful, many kinds of plants and gorgeous fish
we have a heron in our area but he/she doesn't seem to bother my fish..but my neighbour put up a net over her pond an now it doesn't come around anymore
yup
in 11 years, I didn't see one until last weekend
our other problem is the racoons...they like to fish...but again with the net they can't be bothered
perhaps it was an anomoly.
it is terrible that is for sure Ruby...I hope you can start again and not loose anymore
phantom: astragalus
but he was beautiful and huge! mostly grey with blue, white and black on his shoulders, probably 4 ft. wingspan and I could see him from above because we're on a hillside and I ran him off
my husband is heartbroken
i bet :(
please tell him we are so sorry he lost his fish
he's barely speaking to me now
was not exactly a happy fellow before!
ty barb
we do not bother with koi ponds here,would be like putting out fish soup and ringing the bell,we would get coons,foxes,porkupines,cats,badgers,he rons,cormorants all in here hip deep
these weren't even koi, just ordinary goldfish which interbred under the ice in the winter so that we had all variations of red, orange, yellow, white and black
and some were so big we named them: Spot, Harry etc.
bears,lynx,marmants,brush wolves
my neighbour has one that probably weighs about 5-6 lbs...gorgeous
what colors, barb?
you are realy in the wilds, crossy! lucky!
I have three shubunkins...they have a bit of blue to them and have various spots of orange, grey and black on them too
i love love cormorants, so interesting.
oooh, sound lovely barb
we hate cromorants,they are an invasive species for us
they displace our loons
we used to see cormorants and anhingas in the Everglades
i like anhingas also, but they are more common here.
i do not like loons creepy.
mine started out as feeders too ruby...just small little fingerlings...now by biggest one is about 12 inches long.
my parents "have" a pair....
we are far enough from Lake Annecy so as not to get lake birds which is why we didn't expect the heron
lol ruby,you are the only one i have ever know who does not like the haunting call of the loon
of anhingas or loons, red?
brb
red i mean
loons i dislikd them, my parents seem to have a pair...
there is one breeding pair of swans just below our village and some years they walk the babies across the main road, quite a sight
there is usually one mating pair on each small lake
its more than hauntong, it is so so creepy.
till the cormorants come;(
I've never heard one, we are too far from the lake. The only noteworthy bird call here is Mrs. Cuckoo
its ok ruby, its chilling, like a creepy laugh, very human sounding and sometimes more like a young person screaming...
not something you want to hear.
eeeew
the cuckoo sounds exactly like a clock, too funny
here are the amazing loon sounds ruby http://www.ns.ec.gc.ca/wildlife/loons/ images.html
my parents live waaay out rurally so the first time I heard it in summer, coming up over the mill race, I just about freaked out...
I've only seen her once, but she has a nest nearby (I think)
loons are pretty birds though, they just need to be quiet.
fireworks!!!
yaay vici!
congrats vic!
ty ruby
and turtle
gd night everybody, 138 words and my monkeys are lying on the floor, exhausted
lol,red
back
nite ruby
good night ruby, i am only at 124
gd night red and barb
nite Ruby
bye crossy
its odd cross, i love most birds...but loons heebie jeebies.
bye vici!
the cuckoo is a pretty bird
she sings as she flies
she sings of her false love and tells us no lies
we had a coopers hawk nest above our deck and they pooped and dropped entrails on it all summer. It was fun to watch the babies tho
how dated is that?
I thought they ate the entrails.....
the loon is kind of like our ambassador of the north,a symbol of freedom and nature and being one with the north,calling it just a noisy bird is like calling the american bald eagle nothing but a dump scavanger lol
well, they dropped some of them
vici, i would love that but... i gotta say, entails and poo...
no no crossy, i called it a creepy bird.
*poof*
the bald eagle may be a dump scavenger, i am unsure.
am somewhat of a birdwatcher but have never heard a loon
Hearing a loon makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up the first time. It's just haunting.
see, gail agrees that it is eerie, creepy.
Eagles scream, too.
would love to hear one.
true but not in the middle of the night.
break
i love the sound of the red tailed hawk. It is sort of primeval.
We used to hear them in Northern Michigan during the night.
i like the sound of a mocking bird at night
Hi jmc.
it makes me feel . . . .at home
dont hear many birds at night
Or the whipoorwill
snadhill cranes do not make nice bird noises, they always sound like mechanical.
hi all
that is one of the nice thing about mocking birds is that you can get one that sings every night
wow...to feel at home, I have to hear the roar of traffic and people shouting ;)
Hi Nancy. Thats the price of being a young jet setter in the city eh?
we go to Indiana to see the sandhill cranes each year. there are thousands of them in the fields,
NB!!!!!!!
there are supposed to be a lot at a place in Florida called Payne's prarie, but...I have never gotten there.
LOL Red...wouldn't exactly call myself a jet setter! But personally, I like it. I can't sleep in the country. Too quiet!
Paynes Prairie is a neat place.
Eva, my dahling!!
I need to make some time to go up there Vici, Its on my list.
vlcl where in Indiana and when do you see the cranes?
NB the country is not quiet. The cicadas would probably keep you awake more than city noises.
i like the sound of traffic too nb Washington DC is the smallest city i have ever lived in
have to look on may
the country is WAY too noisy for me
Maybe where you are vlc ;) the English countryside is somewhat lacking. Too cold for birds and insects! But where I live, it is particularly noisy...lots of drunk people in the streets at all hours of the night!
i mean map
I live in a smallish town in Vermont and the drunks and traffic keep me awake.
i could use some huggles. glad youre here. :)
Good Enough, we go in March I cant think of the name of the area
nothing but myself keeps me up...
well I am definitely qualified for those, Eva :) what's up?
I just googled it. looks like northeastern area south of Michigan city
eh. just stupid boy issues. :/
that is not where we go but I saw that when I was trying look up where we go.
hello good, your lilac photo is really lovely.
Thanks red
well I am more than qualified to deal with those, too, Eva...the soon-to-be mister, or a barrage of jealous suitors?
soon-to-be was acting like a big fat doodyhead.
must go for now
bye Vici, Have a great day and congrats on Fireworks!
*sighs* I hate to sound hypocritical, but...men. Don't let it get to you - Leo was one of those more than a few times when we were friends. Though I countered it by accidentally on purpose making him gay, which I don't think would work for you..
okay that is weird...it says less than one min left
oooh refresh or finish fast.
i know, i know. im just so utterly annoyed with im right now. and whenever im annoyed with him, he reacts as though i dont have the right to be, and then somehow, it seems like HE is mad at ME. *harumph*
in the world of man, the best defense is an offense...what's he done, if it's okay to ask? :(
now were back to 10 hours..think there is a gliche somewhere
that happens from time to time barb just ignore it
either that or you've mastered time travel, Barb ;)
jmc, how is everything going with you and your special stalker friend.
well better eat and then have to get mom to the doctors this afternoon....I don't think so Nancy that would be too nice to do
nothing big, thats the sad part! i ended up staying a half hour late at work yesterday, but then thanks to horrific metro delays and then some emergency situation at my home station, it took me 2 hours to get home last night. needless to say, i was exhausted. i asked him twice (once via text on the way home and again later in the car) if he would just pick a place for us to eat dinner because i was mentally wiped. instead of just picking a place, he starts listing places. i asked him again to just pick somewhere and he wouldnt, so i just got out of the car + went back inside. we didnt talk for the rest of the night, and apparently he slept on the couch.
:/
eva, In a way, I think its probably going to be pretty easy to get over that one.
i agree, red. it just really upsets me that he knew i was having a rough day, and quite easily could have made it a little easier, but just flat out wouldnt.
it seemed like he was actually trying to upset me.
its amazing the small things that can turn ito a tornado
bye for now have a good day or night everyone
Maybe he had a bad day too
some people believe that picking is imposing no matter what you say to them
bye barb
wife and i used to do that a lot,now we read each others minds and know what is going on
the worst, juiciest rows always come from SO little. luckily for me, Leo's too tall to sleep on the sofa.
agreed with what jmc says and indeed if you had not liked the pick then he may have been worried that you would complain about it.
even if you definitely would not have.
the main thing is to assume that he had the best of intentions and was doing his inept best to be good to you
well said jmc
jmc, you are too wise for your own good.
my husband and I learned that the thing that the other person did that most annoyed us was usually an attempt to be helpful
and think of all the things you'd miss out on if you never fought. you know what I mean :)
for example when i was sick hubby would bring tea with lemon and honey and i HATE lemon and honey in my tea
*polishes and straightens halo*
*sigh* i know in my head that he wasnt trying to be mean or hurtful. its just so difficult when i was SO exhausted and i was telling him exactly what i needed from him, and he just refused. it felt like a slap in the face.
my husband was bringing me tea and honey for all of our 11 years together even though i kept pointing out i hated it
I know that feeling Eva ....
im normally much better at rolling my eyes and accepting his quirks. i guess im just having one of those weeks. it seems like everyhing is *blah* this weel. :/
the rain will do that to you
its like opening a jar of pickles,ill never do that again!! she handed me a jar one day and i poped it open in 6 seonds and she say"yea,thats just like you!" and im thinking "what the hell did i do now???" then i realized,it is not about the jar,its how the first time she tried,she broke a nail,then she did not eat a lunch cause she really wanted pickles on her sammich,then its how she dropped the jar on her toe and now it is all swollen and she cannot wear the high heels tonight that she wanted to.she did not want the jar open!! she wanted to tell me all the agony it caused her for her day and i had the neverve to open the thing!!! klol
well jmc, clearly you always got better, so it was the right thing to do...
I know that feeling Eva...in my case, because I'm home alone. Gets me down!
damn typos
LOL Crossy! I'm suddenly so, so, so glad I'm gay ;)
lol nb
oh well. we are on holiday next week. im hoping the weather will be nice there because its absolute crap here (thus contributing to my icky mood) we need to relaxation.
it is a minefield nb hehe
are you going somewhere fun Eva?
I don't think non male/female relationships are free of such things though ;)
LOL...how do you manage, where you live?! if the cold doesn't get you, the missus will ;)
to the beach. :)
no it was something that made him feel comforted so he kept thinking it would make me feel comforted
lol,both feel the same initally,one needs a heavy coat the other heavy bullet proof vest lol
I know JMC, but clearly it worked, I mean, he brought it and eventually you got better :)
and my gay friends have the some problems nb so dream on!
beach is nice, Florida? You can come see me!
lol true red
i just took it as a nice gesture and stopped worrying about it
well we have an interesting situation...he still has half a straight boy mentality. Helps him humour me, I think ;)
in fact part of what we learned to do was each night tell each other something we appreciated about that person and something that we did as a gift for that person that day
it is not really a war nb,think of it more as a series of small skirmishes,where there is give and take and concessions,where there is no real victor and all you are really hoping for of to outlive each other lol
it made for interesting conversations and revelations
i bet jmc. thats very nice.
some times the very thing i did to be helpful to him was what annoyed him the most!
LOL! oh Crossy :D
we will be in OBX. :) with my family -- which could be even more stressful than being at home...lol
sigh it is as i said earlier today my wedding anniversary so i am a bit mumphy
then when you are away from each other you cannot wait to get back lol
crossy give jmc a big ole bear hug
Oooh....
Outer Banks is nice though Eva, I worked out that way once.
sprry jmc.
oh yes. just got off the phone and now I miss him like crazy!
oooh, and I killed chat. must be destined to be lonely this week ;)
i am thinking about napping. but I have 47 left, and I might be able todo without list...
i have to get a lot of packing done tonight, as i will not be home much tomorrow evening + we have a party to go to friday night for a friend who is moving across the country!
I'm catching up on In Plain sight shows, but sadly I may fall asleep again mid day.
oooh, that's so exciting, Eva!
i think so too! shes very nervous because she is just picking up and going. no job lined up + only knows like 4 people out there. but she really needs a change, and i think this will be good for her.
don't drink too much at the party...a hungover plane ride is a long, protracted and painful death ;)
ohhh, she'll be fine - after all, I did the same, only knowing one person here ;) and I'm still more or less in one piece!
no plane ride for us -- we are driving to OBX the next day. and for her, shes not moving until next week, so she can drink all she wants. ;)
I've done it many many times, though usually with a job lined up.
in that case, a good knees up is in order ;)
it's fun :)
nancy Boy, to the PB!!!!

weird day at the office
i am trying to nap, really tired, but cant sleep.
uh oh?
too bad i have a little drinkypoo and then start to watch something really boring on tv and off i go to lala land
I'm watching television.... still have a cold so it feels as if I can not breathe which is not the case.
office?
got a guy calling up with obscenities -- always glad for that since it means we are doing our job well but he says we sent our literature to his son who is fighting in iraq
and did you? My guess is he asked for it if you did.
then a guy calling with info about an article in the nyt that i should respond to
all these men calling you jmc...
and all hot and bothered.
then one of my staff got a call on his cell phone saying he won a vacation which he believed right up until they asked for his credit card #
lol i wish red!
Hysterical, about yoru office staff, I guess some are a little young and gullible.
meanwhile trying to file a brief in the 4th circuit
most of my staff is young an gullible -- that's what i love about them
you lead an exciting life. All i did today was run, swim and collapse on couch, and buy dog food.
i think that sounds like a lot -- i mainly collapse on the couch
any clues for the E up top, I have to "ek" out a iving.
did they really name those elephants bonnie and clyde? ;_0
sorry ;-)
Ha ha!
the dog i s glad I bought the food, he is unaware of it, but...
I got nothing
en - old word for enough andplural
Well, since I can not sleep I am catching up on the In plain sight episodes that are on so late at things.

morning jmc red & kazz
lynxx, you are up early.
nearly 7am so not too bad
my time changing skills are off again, I thought it was about 5.
Daylight Saving throws you - there and here
Hi everyone out there. I'm stumped on the on 7. Anyone with a clue?
hi Bichon. I'll look too, thanks for the hint
on7 when you are talking about 'me' (not me but you)
look at your s4s
OK ging to go walk dog, It will take a monumental effort, but I expect it will be worth it though he too is rather sleepy.
bye Red
But first, I am just soooo humiliated. The place I ordered my suit from sent me a thing asking if they needed to add an apartment number
tyvm lynxxx
I wrote them back an email and instead of add I wrote ass. I just saw it.
they must think I am an idiot.
I am sure they will laugh too
well I hope they add it. Oh man, how rude of me.
OK walkies.
BBL
they probably saw add red
this is weird. I have all the words [as says tile stats] but it doesn't say fireworks. Anyone know what gives?
that is weird .. did you leave the page right as the fw were coming?
Hi all
not it said I need more words, so I refreshed. I came back as completed, but no fireworks. Am I being cheated?
hi fuzzy
well, no biggie. TTFN
I have been monkeying what I thought were the most absurd words and they are real!
what a bummer to do all of that work and not get fireworks. I have never had that happen, but then I have only had fireworks 3 times.
BTW, hello all..here to finish the last 64
lol i am not sure that fw are the be all end all
hi miz
do you have 184 words?
20 words left, hoping to finish before the flip
you got 7 hours fuzzy!
no problem!
I do!
jm, what flag is your icon?
the colony in which I live DC
Yes Miz, I have 184 and it says 0 left. Just puzzling
I did not realize they had their own flag, but i guess it makes sense, states have their own flags.
wondering wondering if you're wondering too
I wonder a lot about everything. drives my husband and son nuts.
we get a fl** but no vote and our laws vetoed by congress
<===my congressional member went to congress but all I got was this crummy fl**
p.s. fuzzy pb for you!
huh, bichon...well, you should feel good finishing and we all know!
I knew that, must be frustrating. But you do have the Smithsonian
i believe that the smithsonian is available to all
had to think for a minute why the PB, got it!
Ah, but you can go there whenever you want. I have to travel a long distance and just get a day or two.
i could live in md or va and get a vote AND ease in traveling
true
you can't sell me on the idea that my life is good with taxation without representation! lol
I think we fought a war for that one!

nbt in time to go drink margaritas and watch baseball
my idea of heaven
bbl
I wish we had margaritas at middle school baseball games! Might get more parents to come...
if the game isn't too long!
it would work for me fuzzy -- maybe you could bring them in a thermos
oh, they can be excrutiatingly long
*poof*
clue for to 7 please
nm, found it
I could still use that clue
take to 5/10 the place you live and add the same two vowels for the 6 and plural for the 7
hope that wasn't too confusing
thanks fuzzy!
yw
that was perfect!
gr 6/24, the first one
gr + double vowel _ stick letter
+
the double vowel are the same
I had to monkey that one
and then the plurarl
thanks Miz, son just came home had to leave for a minute
I understand
I didn't have the plural
miz, do you have the sa 6/18?
no yet
okay!
I haven't made it to the S's yet
I do as much as I can and then go down the list on lickety
I just go for it, never any particular order!
Ok, back from walkies. man its a warm day.
nice and cool here. rained all day, predicting 80's next week. ugh!
They keep predicting rain, but it keeps going somewhere els.e
evening. kids are fed, bathed, teeth brushed. just killing time till story time.

lol, you could say that. plus i teach kindergarten.
AND, i found every K word! yay!
Go feather go...
I teach in a high school life skills room
oh, very cool
I found the K's but I am missing 18. debating the list.
good job feather
fuzy that must be very interesting.
I am a nanny/preschool teacher
we all seem to be in the same boat
:)
i keep thinking that whenever i retire, i'd like to teach preschool
guess that wouldn't be too much of a retirement though
It has it's moments! We have one student who is happy all day, never a sad face. He is nonverbal. the rest are very challenging.
it's quite exhausting, but fulfilling
We have 5 students in the room with 5 teachers.
i've got a project up at donorschoose.org, check my profile. if you know of anyone who'd like to donate, please help me spread the word! thanks
pre-school is fun, not too much pressure as far as testing results go.
it's awesome to have such a great ratio
kindergarten is now what first grade used to be it seems
I teach college math.
We couldn't do it any other way, all are very high needs.
I love math!
oooh, math! i loves math.
there is still testing with progress reports and dealing with parents that think their child is a genius or the ones that we need to talk to that never show up since conferences aren't required
loved science, and english too. only thing i didn't enjoy in school was social studies/history
Miz, that is true no matter what the grade!
I am back to being a nanny after being let go
true!
budget cuts?
Our school district just handed out pink slips due to declining enrollment and major financial woes.
nope, just let me go. I was one of the highest paid staff and I think they wanted to get rid of those to make room for part-time or just lower paid people
My husband was a high school teacher and he called that the "not my precious Johnny" syndrome. Parents never wanted to think their child did anything wrong.
ouch
that is awful
oddly enough, my center was on the upswing with enrollment...
yup, marjetta
I like the name for that syndrome!
Our college is too, but we still had people cut for the budget
fe
I wasn't part of the 'in crowd' there and I am sure that had a lot to do with it
oops
story time is coming up soon, better scoot. found 35 so far, amidst chatting! will bbl.
and the ones that believed us didn't do anything at home
enjoy your story, it was always my favorite part of the day
feather will you tell us a story?
Yes my husband got out of teaching since the teachers at the High school level were not supported by administration.
Admin makes a huge difference
yes it does
there was no consistency, one in particular was really violent and never got a call home or sent home...the director only cares about revenue
I was actually happy to be let go...I feel just better knowing I don't have to put up with most of those people anymore
sorry, but are there any W words that arent 4 letters??
I actually liked a few people there
I am sorry you were let got Miz, there is always a need for good teachers.
no red, they are all 4 letters
thanks marjetta
thanks fuzzyb
yw
We will pay for all the cuts in education. The students will one day grow up and where will that leave us? **Stepping off my soapbox now **
there is, but no one wants to pay for them
looking for the first two st 5/10's
very true
the first 5, 10 I have is a plural of a 4. st plus vowels.
the second one I have is a rock.
have the rock
it appears I am missing an st 5 10 then...
just figured out your first clue, ty
it's the st + vowels + plural and latin plural
take your st 4 and just make easy plural
if that made sense..2 different words
thanks Mizhoffle
made sense to me, but I have both
down to 16. If I keep snagging clues, I will be able to say that I did this without list. ha ha.
you are welcome red!

I have been pecking away all day. been trying to nap, but for some reason I can not sleep.

Congrats Miz!!!!!

Congratulations Mizhoffle on fireworks! Good for you
I was trying to follow the icon of the day and got stuck on a picture of my cat, lol.
YAY Miz

no more textbooks for me...it's called "Bloodsucking Fiends: A love story"
Interesting....

doesn't sound like I would like it much...
Maybe a great beach read, will have to bookmark it
F's Finished! 3 left
hi bugs.
the author, Christopher Moore sets all of his books in San Francisco
I just finished Richard Prestons The Cobra event, which was distressting.
definitely a no-thinking book...a fun read
go min
Hi red. Please tell my about your book.
ho min go
oops, go min min go.
I am still haunted by Cormac McCarthy's The Road. I can't forget the images he painted.
Red, you just changed min's profession!
The book by Preston is a narrative about a virus let loose in NYC, he also intersperses some history on bioweapons in there, very upsetting.
Redturtlehead,was about to go to my shed to get my garden tool! LOL!
So so sorry min. No gardening, just gridding, no other professions!
BUgs how are you? I have not seen in a bit.
Thanks red. What kind of images are in The Road please, bunny
Hello all. Time to drop in to say hi whilst I take some words which pop off this grid. Also on phone to talk to Stidmama.
Hello stidgmere. Please pass on our greetings!!
Might have to consider that profession if I don't get a summer job. If I don't get a summer job this will be the first summer not working in 12 years;big bummer
Hello stidgmere! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle
I would like to have a summer off, but not sure I'd like to miss out on paychecks.
I have been quiet and not Babbling regularly the last little while red. Lots of Hospice work that just ended and stress at work about next year. When I haven't got nice things to talk about, I stay quiet. Makes my Granny proud.
E's Eliiminated! 1 left
The Road is about what is left after many atomic bombs are detonated. It follows a father and his son as they try to survive on the roads trying to find food and other friendly souls.
oooh bugs. sorry about the Hospice work, in that it ended, though I am sure you made the ending much better.
I think I will save my last word for later.Now I'll work on a story of clues. I will be here for clues if needed.
We all know how it will end even when we begin a relationship but it is nice to know that the death was peaceful for everyone in the family, not just the client.
Bugs, I know many families that have been comforted by hospice. You do noble work
love your stories Min...
Congrats Min! love your stories, they make me smile.
I would just like to know what my last 2 sevens are I have an ag 7, the on 7, and an st 7....
ag 7 is the plural of ag 6
I hope I help. This one was a very special lady and we had spent a long time together so now there is a big void in my life. Babble buddies fill it.
yup fuzzy those are the ones I have. I dont have a list so I dont know what the others are.
on 7 = me
ty for the on
thanks fuzzy, those are the ones I have,
oops, I misread what you said!
to7
It's ok, no clue ever goes unused!!!!
there is a fa 7
now I'm looking thanks!
and a to 7
do you want clues?
no 5/18?
no clues thanks, I am looking
plurl of a no 4, 8 which is I think an old fashioned way to say I have nothing I have NO***
That no 5/18 is plural of the no 4/8 word fuzzybunny
ahhh, found the to 7. odd one.
had to answer phone, now paying attention
I don't have the no 4/8 that you are referring too, I was too embarrassed to ask for a clue for a 4 letter word!
no 4/8 is present time plus a cross letter fuzzybunny
I have monkeyed it for 20 minutes and no luck.
it has a high scoring letter as its 3td letter bunny. Think Yorkshire accent
Thank you so much, that one was driving me crazy!
sorry, minver gives a fairly clear cue.
I am down to 11
down to 11 also
Min's was much better
9! and no list! happy dance
All of your clues were great, sometimes I get a block
Go red, go!
Go FB Go!
WOW red. No list is terrific!!!! well done
I am surprised myself, but I have used a lot of clues including asking for 7 first letters, so I could have realy gone to the list.
some day it will all just roll off the keyboard!
I think you did an awesome job, list or no list!
5 left.
even when I ask for clues I end up having too many blank ones but as soon as I see the second letter, my brain opens up
Go redturtlehead go!

go bunny. go bunny
watching last night's glee
Don't kn 4/12 about you, but I thought that the grid was easy. I woud ra 4/4 this grid one of the easiest grids I have se4/4 and on of the easiest on4/4 to do I'm ne4/4 to the end of grid. So what el 4/4 can I do? I could ne 4/4en house,but I think I will do a story of clues instead to help you se 4/8 your words. When I was a te4/4ager,I traveled af4/7. I had to leave the hotel I was at because of a fire. I coudn't believe my ea4/4 when I heard that it turned out it was ar5/10 I hope whoever did it had to at 5/10 for their sins. I hope someone kicked them in the groin with their kn 4/8.Now I have a fe4/7 of hotels. Hubby has tried to ea4/4 my fe 5/16, but I am still afraid.Hubby likes to te5/10 me on my hotel phobia. I get mad and tell him to to 4/4 down is hotel jokes. I am not too ke 4/8 on staying at hotels anymore. A red fl 4/9 goes up in my mind whenever I have to stay at hotels. Sometimes I wake up in the midde of the night with te 4/4 in my eyes and my stomach is tied up in kn5/18 and I want to fl 4/7 the hotel.Now I am going to watch My Name is Ea 4/4 and look for some good ea 4/4 for dinner. I al 4/4 have to take a shower to wash myse4/7. Who kn5/26, maybe I'll skip the tv show and just babble. I think it is pretty sa 4/7 to say that I won't be out of this se4/4 for long. I hope you have made a no4/4 of my clues and found some more words. I clued mostly easy words, not the hard on 4/4.Oh and by the way, this story is fa 5/16. I will be back a little bit later on
whoa, big one min! nice
wow Min
HELLO ALL!!!!!
min, why is your face so grumpy today????
hi stid!
I TAUGHT --- POETRY today
thanks Min. I got quite a few from your story. Only 48 omore to go
Loved your story Min. You are above and beyond in creativity. And it is noted and appreciated.
whee, fun
to 8th graders... *sigh* *rolls eyes for affect* *disdainful attitude* *reluctant work*
hello Mother!
Hi stidmama!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
HEY stid. I just left Min's clue and saw you had arrived. The icon clue is frowns
Oh, I don't need frownie lines.
oh.... *frowny face applies*
Poetry and grade 8s is very hard to get past the attitude but I'll bet you gound a way
Theme is frowns stidmama, not how I feel right now.
Actually, I am quite happy because hubby is not here to take away Babble or the computer from me tonite
do you still have 1 wrod left Min?
Oh, good mini.
well, I was surprised at the end of the day to discover that more than a third of the students had actually written one poem for the class wall, and a lot more had completed the required part of the assignment!
word. sorry I have wrods
oh! all babble all the time, min?
A sure sign of success then stid. You have made them comfortable about sharing their thots.
Yes, I have one word left and I am saving it for later.
I admire you for doing that Min. I am sure I would forget to do it. Must be the ocd part
:-D I was pleased enough. I think they did well, considering. Tomorrow I will be even meaner, and introduce them to short (100 word) story writing! *cackle of glee*
I wish I was in your class stid. I see too many burned out teachers who just hand out worksheets and then sit back
great story min!
Thanks fuzzybunny
well, I am pretty tired now! LOL the worksheet option would be tempting on a day like today, but I am supposed to be trying to actually teach, and that is what I am determined to do!
oh! NBT!
You will find that most kids will work for a teacher who they think really cares about them and whether they understand it or not.
thanks Bugs -- I am aware I won't reach all my students equally well every year, but my hope it to make a difference to most of them at least a little bit.
great goals
I just found my last word. Do I enter it and get FWs?
how are you doing Bugs? I know you said you need a break of some sort, will you keep working next year?
back, had a phone call
I would!
hey feather!
yes Min! then I can head out because I just got halfway!!!
*waits to celebrate with Min*
I am monkeying like mad to find my last one
I am done! I have fireworks!on7/40 was my last word
YAY Min!!!! *admiring firewords*
Yippee Minveryork!
and I am heading out. 90 to get when I return. But need a quick nap before I take the stidkid to his lesson tonight.
yay min!
*hugs all* *poof*
Thought maybe with such an easy grid,nobody would be around later to witness my fireworks.Thanks guys
I will but I need a new student. I have been working 1-1 with a very difficult student who has done wonders for me, but his parents don't like the school system or anyone who works in it so I get undermined all the time. I am tired and need a new challenge. This boy has met every goal I set him. Now he needs a new worker who will take him to new places.
Goodbye stidmama! I will see you tomorrow in the log
I did it!
Congratulations fuzzybunny on fireworks!Good for U
YAY Min and bummy!
I just went to the list
BUNNY I am sorry about that typo!!!!
Thank you all. I appreciated all of the clues.
I have been called worse!
*sneaks in and hugs bugs -- I hear you! repoof*
Now I can go to bed at a reasonable hour!
I always hope to goto bed at reasonable hour when I finish early, but then I'm addicted to giving clues too
Are you usually up for the flip?
sleep well stid. I thot you missed it
Oh no, those days are OVER!I was up for the flip this past Saturday. First time in MONTHS! I miss flipping!
I have been up for the flip the last couple of nights because I was down to two words and tried really hard, but didn't make it.
I usually goto bed between 11 & 12,but I should goto bed between 10 and 11. I can never get enough sleep
Oh I HATE it when that happens.I have been down to one word and didn't make it.Sorry to hear that fuzzy
Same here. Time to go make dinner. Tomorrow.

screaming stop_____. hello quick stop in -anyone need help
hi mnh
hey une and lbd
hi meliae
Hello, I am here back and forth to help clue
thats me too - while watching recording of biggest loser from last night
working on crocheting a tiny little afaghan for my master bedroom of the farmhouse I am working on
SO EXCITED - my idol favorites are in the the top 2 - woooohoooo
not on here yet shhhh please
oooh, another miniature, mel?
Oh sorry - good thing I didnt give names - so for all you know I am routing for ........
yes, making an 1890's ish farmhouse it is so much fun
I always wanted an old farmhouse remake
mel - do you watch biggest loser
i loved all three
let me see if I can find a picture of it
which is quite unusual by this stage of a season
no I dont watch that show they are too mean to the people
hmm..... -later
yes they are but I am so addicted to this show and it is the semi final this week
i still really feel like that lily girl and the lambert kid - alex? - are the big 'what ifs' of the season
i would def have liked to see more of those two
I cant believe what these people do - they are just incredible - I have stood on my feet and clapped my hands for them and hooted ... you get the picture
Adam Lambert was my favorite from the beginning and still is between the two.
no i don't mean adam lambert from last year
Chris won but what have you heard from him - nothing!!!
i mean alex lambert the shy southern kid from this year
ADAM lambert is clearly the greatest singer of all the seasons
Adam Lambert already has a record out. So what if his first single was a little out there - that was the video not the music. His second single is very good too. Just think back to the days of Ruben and Clay - look who made it - number 2 - woooohoooo.
but ALEX lambert could have been an enjoyable contestant to have in the top twelve this year. though clearly it would have been confusing with the similar names!
do you remember him, momneedshelp? he had a mullet.
I cant remember who you are referring to - I remember the name because it was so close - BUT being such an Idol fan if I cant remember, her may not have been memorable enough.
!!!!!FIREWORKS!!!!!
he had a sweet, gentle style and soft twang
yay, minski!!!
hooray Monski
sorry Minski
how can you not remember a mullet in this day and age, though? :)
there is a slight remembrance there
sad to say the mullets are back again - boo boo hoo
you MUST remember lily, with her practically white hair and her extremely funky style
well shoot here is a picture but this one is done in nautical look, but it is the same kit, http://www.cptdave.com/houselit.html
Oh Lily with that sweet voice and cool hair - I voted for Lily
to the left a bit and below you can see links to see the interior of his
she and alex lambert went home the same week, just missing the top 12
and if you think about some of the dingleberries who DID make the top 12... sheesh.
I know - I thought Lily should have made it over some that did
sorry to say I dont remember names from the first 24
my old brain can only handle so much - gives emptying mindless stuff but too much new stuff coming in - its a constant process
but even the top 12, think who beat out lily... tim urban! paige miles! she was a DISASTER.
today I went shopping with my daughter at a discount clothing store, we were looking at blouses, I said "this stuff looks like stuff and old lady would wear" Then I cracked up laughing at myself. I am 52 LOL
only as old as you feel meliae!
OK, SO, what do you think of our contestants - my favorite has always been Crystal, week after week after week. I Just love that gravely Janis type voice. But Lee is creeping up on me. What is a fan to do?????
they should both do well in careers regardless of the results and i like them both plus casey and others
if you want to see a pic of alex lambert to refresh your memory it's in this article http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainme nt/americanidol/2010/03/11/2010-03-11_ american_idol_season_9_top_12_alex_lam bert_lilly_scott_todrick_hall_and_kate lyn_.html
oh you young ladies - I am right there with you.......I liked Tim Urban as a mother would - good voice for the back yard with friends - not hit show
I don't like Casey at all. I haven't watched last night's or tonight's shows, but I keep hoping Casey gets voted off.
well, for ... dating ... if that were an option... i would choose casey!
Don't tell me. Both kids are sick. I should be able to watch tomorrow.
I dont know if I would even do that - little shifty for me!
I think Casey is icky and greasy. Give me Colin Firth or Hugh Jackman any day over him. They are real men.
oh, i don't think he's shifty at all - didn't you see how he had bought his own little house (before being on the show) and was doing all the renovation himself? i think he's a good solid guy.
you girls are making this hard - not your fault - time change and all....
Minski - we are talking
American Idol
not real life
nice smile, luscious locks, and handyman skills - what more can a girl ask for?
like Hugh Jackman
Oh 'he is hot - did you see Australia with his shirt off
It's in my Netflix queue.
make it a girls night movie Min
I want Crystal to win most def!
i think david cook is the strangest guy from idol in terms of attractiveness. when he's just standing there talking, he's just an average guy, nothing special, i don't find him attractive. but as soon as he starts to sing, he's unbelievably hot. then he stops and talks to ryan again and boom, it's gone.
If I were a voter I would vote for Crystal.
Mel -she has been my favorite ffrom the beginning
there have been many idol zero's I have been a fan from season 1
Mine too Mom, and to think she almost had to quit because of her diabetes
have all cd's -
she was real sick at the beginning and no one said why until just last week
she has also been my favorite from the beginning. particularly because i have felt that she looks like she would be a good singer, but not capable of all the things she is actually capable of, so then when you get her going and all of a sudden she's hitting notes so effortlessly that you wouldn't have thought she could reach...
yes so true Hurs
We ladies KNOW....
is the diabetes new? i thought once you got the hang of that disease it wasn't too hard to manage.
and does anyone else find it weird that her boyfriend looks like a prep/jock? she has dredlocks, for crying out loud! how did those two get together?
She needs a new hairstyle for sure.
i don't object to her hair, i'm just mystified by the combination.
this is only my opinion - but I think she just found out about the diabetes - she was very sick at beginning of show - and comments made about a medical issue - dreds have been there for a while - taking care of baby - boyfriend is new...
i thought the boyfriend was not that new - heck she was singing one week about wanting him to marry her
Goodnight all *poof*
same guy? we will find out soon enough with any decision
good night Min
the diabetes is NOT new, i just found online article that says she was diagnosed in 2nd grade.
yes, I knew about the diabetes long time ago
atleast over a month ago
I need to rewatch my recordings to see whats up - most times I speed through them - record because kids have games and speed through because kids have games - so I may very well be wrong - dont want to upset
well yes but what i meant was, her difficulties early in the competition, it's not like she was just being diagnosed with the disease at that point. so i am wondering why she was having trouble managing it if she had had it for so long.
a month ago is after the season started - that doesnt give much time to aclimate to show and disease
the boyfriend IS relatively new, within a few months of her being on idol, and is named tony. her son's father is also named tony but is a different tony.
mom - i think you missed where i said crystal was diagnosed with diabetes in second grade.
I havent done any research so dont know the time line - I dont think the disease is that long in the knowing - even a couple months is not long for diabetes
I dont know what the grades are
to me any grade would be bad
second grade, in school. as in, she was seven years old.
***laughing while holding breath**
*just spit**
there aren't grades in diabetes. there are types I and II, but that's whether you get it as a kid (type I) or as an adult (type II). at least that was the distinction historically - now that the american diet is so terrible, more kids are being diagnosed with type II or "adult onset" diabetes.
I thought you meant like stage 4 cancer - you know grade 2 diabetes
see what I know......... nothing.....
funny misunderstanding though!
I need to link up with you more to expand my knowledge base hurshy
anyway, yeah, crystal has type I and has known about it since she was a second grade student, is that better? :)
differences between our countries maybe???
nope, i'm american - just a wannabe brit.
oh yes hurshy is so cosmopolitan
Type I requires insulin and involves low as well as high blood sugar
:)
I dont know but maybe its getting worse - or maybe they are using it for the show! Either way, she has a good voice.
and my knowledge of diabetes types stems originally from reading the babysitters' club books...
haha poor stacey, hursh
*smiles back at leslie*
*and smiles at torgone*
poor boy-crazy stacy
I love you guys - ok time for bed
yeah i have to go to bed also. night all!!
good night
Niters Ms. hurshy
its after 11p and I need to get up at 5a so time for bed - sweet dreams everyone

you can do it!
I could get off my bum and get cookies for myself, just don't wanna!

ok, brb
my 6 yo just came in - "I think I am going to have a bad dream" She really wants to sleep with mama.
uh oh
I sent her off to my room that cheered her right up
that should do the trick ;)
dad works nights, so they think mama needs "help" sleeping - ha!
* giggle *
oy - it's not so bad with one of them, but with both of them, it is like sleeping with a hyper active octopus
and, we have a cal king, but they both end up glued to either side of me
too funny ;)
I can remember when my kids were little...they did the same...what fun memories ;)
hello
hi mlf
I just keep reminding my self that they are only little once
hi mlf
that's the way to think, TNC
whats the theme this time
Hi Teal
Hi Pinik
teardrops
(I think that what it was...I should probably confirm...hold on)
plus, I hated sleeping when I was kid, my parents never let me sleep with them and that memory sticks with me to this day, so I don't want to do that to them
I think so pini
yes, it's teardrops
yep teardrops
wb jilli ;)
is the kitchen all clean?
mine doesn't look as if it's teardrops but it is...
I actually enjoyed letting the kids sleep in my room with me (single parent)...
