2:20 am

My sisters, in UK and NZ use webcam, and my laptop has a thingie to use the camera, but I've never checked out what I need to do ... anyway, then I'd need to tidy my bedroom, or hang a sheet behind me, to conceal everything.

2:20 am

and when aiden moves after marriage...

2:21 am

LOL Christine... figure it out! wouldn't you like to talk to your sisters??

2:23 am

Well, they already know how I feel about housework, and the sister in NZ is convinced ex husband is actually hidden in one of the untidy closets. Could be.

2:23 am

2:24 am

2:34 am

Hi M9 tap tap tap Is this thing on

2:35 am

The Georgia peach thing should be changed to Georgia prune....I'm 72 , but I'm still hanging on.

GA tsk tsk

2:37 am

m9, I haven't gone to bed yet....I have my days and nights turned around....real bummer...I miss the earlymorning time. Good luck to Y'ALL. (HeHe)

2:40 am

Me too, peach - I keep staying awake all night, fall asleep about 10am, and the day's shot to heck.

2:41 am

It must be bout 3:30am in Geogia?

2:42 am

Gremlins can't spell Georgia.

2:43 am

Yeah, Christine. Maybe I can read awhile and get sleepy...only problem, my smallest

2:43 am

hi herin!!! I'm trying to get my webcam to work. it will record sound, but if I try to record video, it says it can't connect with the device...

2:44 am

dog doesn't want the light on after he gets into bed. Oh, well, I guess he does rule. What a wimp I am.

Ok I was suspecting I was not coming through

2:47 am

that's funny peach!

2:48 am

2:59 am

Hi Sprite

2:59 am

hi sprite

3:01 am

how are you?

average and yuo

3:01 am

still up.

3:01 am

yeah kinda the same, lady

3:03 am

glad to see you both

3:04 am

i got a webcam...but I can't get it to do what it's supposed to do...

3:05 am

on the large scale of things, that is not a biggie... but it certainly makes you wanna throw the whole thing out of the window, doesn't it!

3:05 am

yup. or try again in the morning!LOL

3:05 am

oh...I go tutor in the morning!

3:06 am

lol yes!

3:06 am

better leave a note for yourself to remind you, grin

3:06 am

yeah... oh well.

3:08 am

wow.. that ier goes on anything!

Sprite this week has been a bad brain week

3:08 am

I am the same, m9... cannot stop until it works the way I want it... and I am seriously miffed when I cannot have it my way, and am forced to leave it until later.

3:08 am

*hugs lady*

3:09 am

hi guys

3:09 am

yup! I built this computer... I expect things I plug into it to work the way their supposed to!

3:09 am

hi sandy

Sprite I know it has been a down week as I am failing in basic works. Like I will say Table when I mean chair

3:09 am

hi sandy *hug for you too* How's the hubby and how are you?

HI Sandy

3:10 am

close enough for jazz!

3:10 am

itis pouring with rain, so that is good, husband is ok but I feel lazy and Ihate that

3:11 am

herin, my brain seems to have gone into hibernation mood as well

3:11 am

aw lady, do you know I have the same thing? Side effect of medication, and it really sucks. Makes you feel stupid while all it is is just having a few wires crossed.

3:11 am

sandy, dearheart, be lazy! You earned the right. Tomorrow is another day.

Nope just a down week.

Sandy the couch ate me again

3:12 am

LOL herin!

3:12 am

*gives lady a moral boost*

3:12 am

LOL sprite, I hope so, and herin, the couch and the fire are calling to me too, and the rain is lovely

3:12 am

I don't even have meds to blame! I've just been very sleepy

3:13 am

no meds here either

3:13 am

basic lazy nature

3:13 am

I dont feel sleepy just lazy

3:13 am

whatever the cause, ladies, we are due a bit of laziness. Let's enjoy it.

3:14 am

I get a guilty concience, I fight against feeling like that but it persists

3:14 am

why isn't more like a sh5 a valid word? He looks sh***y, I look sh***ier?

3:15 am

sandy, imagine a large, longterm parking garage, with many floors. Then park the guilty conscience somewhere in the building. Leave it there until you need it again.

Sandy i stupidly turn the heating on to 30 and snoozed

3:15 am

good one sprite!

3:15 am

I will try that sprite, and that sounds good herin

3:16 am

fighting it just makes it last longer. I say dive into the laziness.. I usually come out the other side better that way

3:16 am

a little too hot to my taste, but the snoozy part sounds lovely, lady

3:16 am

I second that, m9.

I actually fell asleep mid conversation online with one of my friends

3:17 am

m9 , that could work

3:17 am

last week I managed to fall asleep at my computer. Key board prints in my cheek. Twice. Never happened to me before.

Sprite our heater leaks air

3:17 am

I think because you would say more sh***ish - I had tried your version about 3 times too. Hello all

3:17 am

I think because you would say more sh***ish - I had tried your version about 3 times too.

3:17 am

i think it's just the na words on the grid getting to us!

3:17 am

Sprite, 30 might sound hot but I know Melbourne is really cold at the moment

Lynxx hi and did you hear that storm last night?

3:17 am

hi lyn :)

3:17 am

hi lynxx

3:18 am

I was dead to the world Infernal, not much damage down he** - saw minor branches off a few trees only, we missed it all again

3:19 am

and you are wet Sandy - at long last!

3:19 am

best way to go, lyn

I think we missed it too. I have been known to sleep through bomb loudness thunder

3:19 am

we are lynxx and its gorgeous, lots of heavy rain which is meant to go on for a few days

3:20 am

oh of course, thanks lyn, sh***ish.

3:20 am

uh oh.. RLS starting up.. I better go to bed!

3:21 am

If I hear thunder or lightening, I get rugged up and sit outside on the verandah, even if its 4am in the morning, I love it

3:21 am

sleep well, m9, and good luck with the tutoring tomorrow.

3:21 am

m9 RLS?

3:21 am

sandy: same for me! It is marvelous, thunderstorms.

3:21 am

night m9

Sandy there was a bad storm a few years back and the whole house rattled and everyone heard it. Execpt me

Night M9

3:21 am

restless leg syndrom

3:22 am

had to get that hawaiian bird first...

3:22 am

oh, that's horrible

3:22 am

that is awful, m9.

3:22 am

LOL herin , but you have more of it than we do

3:23 am

yeah, guess my legs are just ne7

3:23 am

thanks for those, m9 :)

3:24 am

LOL.. ok.. I'm off! *poof* and thanks for the good wishes

Sprite I know that my problems seeem so trivial

3:24 am

bye

3:24 am

no they are not, lady

3:25 am

if something bothers you, it is never trivial

I have a good phantom : Perve or Pervert

3:25 am

I tried those

3:25 am

me too

3:25 am

I thought perve was a real word

3:25 am

I believe it is perv, but not valid

Perve s a real word regadless of the diconary

Sprite I even had the b.f look after me monday nigh

3:27 am

true. The enable dictionary may rule Babble, but not us.

3:29 am

that is so good, lady, to have someone look after you. What was the matter?

Not much just a case of can't be arsed itis

3:33 am

if anybody deserves that, it is you, lady. You worked hard enough for 3 last year. Ti4 to be waited on hand and foot :)

awwww Sprite. We are also looking at applying to a company that selects fruit and vegs and sends it to yuou

3:34 am

nice!

3:34 am

I got that for a while Infernal

3:36 am

I can show you how dead my brain is today... my phantoms are vampire and minister. They are not even close!

Aussie Farmers Direct Lynxx? Are they good and worth it?

3:40 am

The same. Good quality fruit/veges. We got the $25 box each week. Good $ value, convenient. Problems - LOTS of apples and pears. You get essential veges but perhaps not enough of them. We usually ended up buying more celery and other greens. You can select what you want but you need to be paying at least $35 a week I think

3:42 am

There is a farm up the road from us that sells fruit and veges direct - that is great and they sell beautiful strawberries which are so cheap

Lynnxx we are looking into it.

3:43 am

Well worth a try Infernal - we did it for about 6-9 months

3:43 am

cold soundword alert

3:44 am

achoo?

3:44 am

close :)

3:44 am

funny word eh sprite

3:45 am

hard to find for me... does not count as a word in my brain.

Lynxx we are thinking the $35 box. What aer they like on Pototoes?

3:48 am

There was usually enough potatoes for 2 meals in the $25 box. Have you looked on line - I think they give examples of what is in the boxes

You can see basics but until you sign up you can't see

3:50 am

bit stupid that!

3:53 am

good morning everybody

3:53 am

morning rubyfoo

3:54 am

morning Ruby

3:54 am

hi ruby

3:56 am

hello friends. Around here they deliver frozen food only and who wants that?

3:56 am

as long as it is big chunked stracchiatella ice cream, I will not object

3:57 am

hahah, that is husband's favorite flavor; we used to get that in Miami, a real gelato shop. Not here in the country, however

3:58 am

we have an italian ice shop in Zaandam, and when the father of the owner feels like it, mostly in summer of course, he drives a small ice car with a limited amount of flavours. Even into our neighbourhood :)

3:59 am

how lovely!

4:00 am

it is lovely ice and often it is a surprise to hear the jingle he uses... if it coincides with our end of dinner, we get ice cream as dessert.

4:00 am

excuse me - I need to get Stew and my daughter comfortable on the couch! - and get myself some coffee

4:00 am

bye lyn, have a good ti4 :)

hi all. sprite i sent you a message?

4:01 am

time

4:01 am

tier

4:01 am

hi red! Let me check my mail.

4:02 am

ooh, sorry, wanted some of lynxx's coffee! slinking away

4:02 am

hi red

4:02 am

found it, red. Great idea!

I'm glad. I fought with taking the spaces out of the address!

Offers RUby some coffee.

4:03 am

ty, red, am I forgive?

4:03 am

red, that is a Friday. Would it be ok to do it the day before too, or is the date really important?

4:03 am

n*

I think given the travel on the Friday, the day before might actually be better, so he can see them.

4:03 am

brilliant, I will change things around. Hold on.

Hi Red and Ruby.

Ruby is things better today?

4:05 am

yes, much, thank you herin. I just waited him out and let him fend for himself for two meals

4:06 am

woooooot rubyfoo! That is great.

4:06 am

and today he's sweet as can be!

4:07 am

a bit like a child, rubyfoo... needs limits, and improves behaviour when he gets them?

THat sounds like dog training

4:08 am

you're certainly right, but it's hard to be tough when he's in such bad shape

4:08 am

woof!

4:10 am

phantom: sherpa

4:10 am

I can imagine, rubyfoo. He's had a bad shock and is hurt badly. But he should not take you for granted. I think it is great you do not let him trample you.

4:10 am

you can't imagine how much the support I receive in the chog has helped me, before this catastrophe, too

4:11 am

the collective wisdom in here is very impressive

4:11 am

it is, isn't it? Have often thought the same. Amazing community.

4:12 am

we are such an assortment: nationalities, ages, experiences, etc.

4:12 am

it is wonderful to get different points of view

4:13 am

best word for me, to far: he6/24!

4:13 am

most people he4 are respectful to others and to other opinions. I often feel like the points of view supplement eachother.

4:14 am

good one :) Nice and quiet, hm?

4:14 am

exactly!

Seriously Ruby. My friend had a dog that was a lot nasty and she needed 2 people to muzzle and cage him. He learnt after 2 days that minimal contact no treats released for bathroom that it wasn't fun and he behaved better

4:17 am

but I think this dog, Magique, can never be trusted again. Mayor came yesterday with the gendarmes to collect photos of husband's wounds and SHE wants the dog put down. She said that she was ashamed for our whole village that such a thing could happen here. Very nice, I thought!

4:18 am

red, I put it in. Thanks for the great idea.

4:18 am

BTW, I think perve (perv) is a word, too!

4:19 am

they couldn't be more supportive, rubyfoo. That is wonderful.

4:20 am

what a wonderful place this is! I am so lucky to have found it

Ruby it is good that the village is working for you

4:23 am

really a lovely surprise. And the fact that they all "know" my husband, even though he's so shy, works in our favor. He may be nasty to me sometimes, but he is very nice to all of the people he sees in the street

I need ideas for B.fs birthday

4:26 am

miscropscope (for studying plants and spores and pollen), geodes and/or fossils, that book of photos taken from the air

4:26 am

movie guide

4:26 am

that current Swedish mystery trilogy by Steig Larsson {sp??]

4:27 am

field guide to plants, butterflies, birds, reptiles

Ruby Refuse to see or read Steig Larsson due to the way his family treated his ''wife''

4:28 am

I didn't know that and haven't read the books.... :(

4:28 am

I have a Swedish "sometimes" neighbor who raves about them

4:28 am

How about Henning Mankiell books? I lovd those

4:29 am

a box full of selfmade coupons. For a kiss, for a lazy TV night, for a late night snack, for a cuddle, for a freebie 'sorry' after a fight, for permission to warm his cold feet in bed...

4:29 am

those books are wonderful. really wonderful.

4:30 am

great idea, sprite, not around here, though lol

4:30 am

nope is for lady's bf

4:31 am

hahah

4:31 am

for yours I'd think of other things, grin. Nothing bad though!

4:31 am

have to go and make an apero! see you after lunch

4:31 am

bye rubyfoo

Later Ruby

Sprite he has his present. I meant tea wish

4:32 am

you lost me, hun

4:32 am

no, I always get him fossils and geodes and once gave him the HUGE Rutledge encyclopedia of philos0phy (when I still had my own income!)

I mean what do we do for dinner

4:33 am

wow rubyfoo, that is something. Well, anything that keeps him busy for hours is great, I think. He needs that. And so do you ;)

4:33 am

hahah, herin, I was thinking "gifts"

4:34 am

*poof* also gave him a library ladder one year!

4:35 am

hm ok... now that I cannot help answer, lady. No idea what options you have there. Or you could make a very intimate dinner at home. Entree from your hands. Small drink from your feet. Main course from your stomach.... etc.

Sprite that is an idea but no

Very sweet idea

4:37 am

:)

supose I should check dinner

4:37 am

Make a paella at home, make some sangria and invite a couple of dear friends over to enjoy & celebrate

We have no available friends

4:40 am

then, if you can afford it, make a reservation at a nice restaurant and tell the owner it is your bf's birthday.

awwww

o idea

4:41 am

mmm Go see Inception at the movies at the Classic in Elsternwick then go to the russian restaurant next door - mountainous range of vodka

4:41 am

ohhhhh cool idea, lyn! We are going to see that movie too, with the family. So looking forward to it.

4:43 am

I bet your son will like it

We are looking at Maha Bar and Cumulus Inc and mmmm vodka

4:44 am

I hope so. And my daughter really wants to see it too. People told me that if she is smart enough, she will like it too... and she is smart enough for anything and everything.

4:44 am

vib en

4:45 am

TY Marigold

hi mARI

4:45 am

hi everyone

4:46 am

hello marigold

yah found my restuarant

4:51 am

gratz lady

:( seems i tis private functions only

I will call in the AM

4:55 am

I hope it works out

It was the first place we saw when we started dating

4:57 am

that would be a great place to go

I know. We have a few ideas

http://www.cumulusinc.com.au/ this place the menu looks awesome

5:01 am

I think you can eat there. You just cannot make a reservation for just 2.

5:01 am

but maybe if you tell them it is a special occasion...

O Cumulus is not the issue it is De Lacys that is the issue

5:03 am

lol... ok I give up. *hugs* hun, and I know you will find just the right solutions.

I hope De Lacys is a go go. But the shoulder of lamb looks nomericific

We were just saying that we could get the shoulder of lamb then act like children

Sprite I am looking at hotels though for maximum drinking

5:07 am

I hope you and the bf are going to have a wonderful ti4 :)

There is this stunning hotel in the city that has wedding specials and we were just saying the grand ball room is amazing. We would do it for a party. It is really every little girly girls dream wedding

5:13 am

fireflies :) Bye all, see you tomorrow.

5:14 am

Congrats Sprite, enjoy your day

5:14 am

6:27 am

hi annie and all

6:27 am

bemud...hmmm

6:28 am

oh, got it, didn't think that could possibly be a word

6:28 am

should have learned by now that if it can't possibly, then of course it is

6:28 am

gort, half of these words are not words, well, to me anyway

6:29 am

you are right there annie

6:29 am

If I am going to dismiss a word, I say to myself I better type this one and lo and behold a word!

6:30 am

and the converse is often the case

I've done that many a time Annie

and also get some when i thought i did a typo

6:30 am

do you look up the definitions?

6:30 am

nono, I love when that happens..a typo is a word

sometimes I do

6:30 am

sometimes

6:31 am

do you remember them? use the word in conversation? impress your friends and astound your enemies with your expansive vocab?

Hello... there's another 'be' 6 version of 'muddy' ... anagram of the first one.

6:32 am

good one city, ty

(it probably doesn't mean muddy, but it looks like it does)

yw :)

6:33 am

its a swampy muddy area---mi4 , hi city

6:33 am

found an awesome word today (not in grid) that i plan to drop casually into next dinner convo

6:33 am

oooh do tell us, gort

6:33 am

heteroclite!

hi Annie

6:34 am

means a little bit irregular...like me!

6:34 am

do you think your dinner companions will understand the word?

6:35 am

no but they know i'm a bit of a funny bunny, so they will be unperturbed and might guess from context

6:37 am

i looked it up...deviating from common rules or forms..so that's you..LOL

6:37 am

u understand me well, annie :)

6:37 am

hello again

6:37 am

6:39 am

6:39 am

6:41 am

6:47 am

so you are not going yet ruby?

6:47 am

the lesser wound is closing, the other one will have to be cut a little to heal properly, but he's crabby, so I guess he's getting better

6:48 am

and the dog? is it put down yet?

6:48 am

staying until nurse comes

that was my next ? sandy

6:48 am

no, but the mayor said yesterday that she'll insist!

good morning Eva, I take it it's raining there

6:49 am

I thought farklempt meant sort of mixed up, confused

6:49 am

gort, farklempt is a word from Saturday Night Live..I love it

6:49 am

ruby, yes it does

6:49 am

it's beautiful here, again! Rained during the night

6:49 am

it's either Yiddish or German or Dutch, I think

6:49 am

awesome, annie, if enough of us use it, it will have to become dictionarised

6:50 am

but not necessarily enabled....

6:50 am

ruby, farmisht is Yiddish, farkllempt is SNL

supposed to rain here later but I do hope it holds off just a bit longer as we sealed the deck yesterday. Wouldn't want it to all be washed away

Speaking of words - the sound one makes when cold is in the grid. How delightful :)

6:51 am

I thought so too city

6:51 am

hahah, shows what I know!

6:51 am

I hope it rains here. We havent had rain for the longest time.

6:51 am

I miss both my mother and SNL!!

thanks City

6:51 am

SNL?

6:52 am

Verklempt is German, means choked with emotion

6:52 am

Oh ruby, Im sorry

6:52 am

SNL Saturday Night Live

6:52 am

Saturday Night Live...TV show

6:52 am

snl..hmmm...So Not Linguistic?

6:52 am

no, it's been a long time, longer for my mother and 13 yrs for SNL (Saturday Night Live, sandy)

6:52 am

oh, I like that show

6:52 am

I think it's used in Yiddish too, another word for a neurosis

6:53 am

hello bichon

6:53 am

hah, the NY contingent is arriving. I hope that includes me.....

6:53 am

Is it any warmer in SF, bichon?

6:53 am

6:54 am

thank you, thank you.

6:54 am

yes it certainly does ruby

6:54 am

6:54 am

*smiling*

6:54 am

SF?

6:54 am

Not so far Annie. and, I'm more south on the peninsula so it should be warmer

6:54 am

sandy, San Francisco

6:55 am

LOL , I know NY...

6:55 am

my sister, who still lives in Forest Hills, thinks that this village is amazing!

6:55 am

After the summer we're having on the east coast you won't be hearing griping

6:55 am

I would think you village is amazin too

6:56 am

Your village is amazing, ruby

6:56 am

I love it here; it's too bad I'm so far from everybody to ever have a babble meet!

6:56 am

and the garden!!!

6:56 am

not as far as me Ruby

6:56 am

You are living dream life, retiring to La Belle France

6:56 am

I have so many blackberries, that I'm starting to make a little jam every day

6:57 am

But we all meet in babbleland

emmmm blackberry jam!

6:57 am

6:57 am

I was thinking the same, annie! :o)

6:57 am

bring your gun ruby

6:57 am

or blackberry/vodka smush!

6:57 am

Afghanistan! you can't pick somewhere a bit safer?

6:57 am

I'll just keep my husband in front of me hahah

6:57 am

are there lots of seeds?

6:57 am

ruby, then you would have to be all covered up and make sure not one hair on your pretty head shows or you will be beheaded.

6:58 am

I'll wink at them through my burka

6:58 am

meet in zanzibar it is safer and more pleasant weather

6:58 am

they may look on me in a kinder light as I dont have an american passport

6:58 am

hi jmc

lol ruby

6:58 am

for the smush, I strain it because I don't like the seeds either

plus zanzibar is fun to say

6:59 am

or maybe madagascar or the seychelles

6:59 am

Madagascar!

6:59 am

or mauritius

6:59 am

zanzibar, zanzibar

7:00 am

Now we know why Afghan women walk 5 paces behind their men - they have all taken lessons from Ruby

go ruby go

7:00 am

7:00 am

i loved zanzibar

7:01 am

antantanarivo (or something) hah hah

7:01 am

I'm not sure I could find zanzibar on a map - will have to look

7:01 am

7:03 am

ty Kallia

Did the grid on my iPhone yesterday, on the train, but found I couldn't join in the chat (no Enter key on the phone).

7:03 am

hi Kallia

7:03 am

lake Annecy is 54F all year!

7:03 am

that was a clue by the way :)

7:03 am

no need for AC because of the sea breezes

7:03 am

7:03 am

I really need a clue for the second re7/36 pleeeeese

7:03 am

7:03 am

yes, I got it Kallia

7:04 am

7:04 am

Sounds heavenly, rick.

Well I was rather relieved it was a small grid and quite an easy one.

7:04 am

I can see it if I turn my head, kallia, we're about 300 feet above it

7:04 am

sounds chill ruby!

7:04 am

re + lost in *****, danger will robinson

I could read the chat, but when I tried to type something into the chat box it just didn't go anywhere.

7:04 am

I got down to 9 words, sally, you would have been proud

Heading to work. Take care all you good people and I hope to see you later.

7:05 am

7:09 am

I am so happy Annie.

7:10 am

yes, you were really blue (pe** blue) last week

7:10 am

is that good or bad, ruby?

7:10 am

peri, I know. When my last cat was sick I felt the same. It was so worrisome.

ruby, I read back in the chog that he only communicates with you by email and phone? Does he actually think that is normal behaviour for two people in same house?

7:10 am

nasty like before his bite so I guess it means he's getting better

7:11 am

ok

7:11 am

that was yesterday. I called his bluff and let him fend for himself for lunch and dinner and today he's as sweet as can be

Ok, so not every day. Perhaps you have found the secret then.

7:11 am

with the help of the chog!

7:12 am

making me stronger

There is an English soap on TV here with a character called *** Sharples.

7:16 am

7:16 am

Une, so sorry about your friend and your car. were you injured?

7:16 am

Une, so sorry about your friend and your car. were you injured?

Oh Une that is terrible.

7:17 am

ok it is 2 vowels with n in the middle

7:17 am

*not me*

7:17 am

* gortmold scratches self with stick, pushes berry up nose and ponders own international ignorance*

7:17 am

the GOOD news is that my insurance paid for a really nice rental car, which I turned in yesterday and am now driving a friend's "extra" car, a 1999 Ford Taurus

7:18 am

no thank you Ruby....not in my plans :)

7:18 am

I can drive it as long as I like

7:18 am

gortmold LOL

7:18 am

not before the wedding, ruby. sorry!

7:20 am

jellen is a remarkable lady . . .

7:20 am

goog, good

7:20 am

bbs

7:21 am

oh boy, bambi's mother...Bindi? Blondie? *gortmold gargles with mud, sinks deep into swamp of pop culture ignorance *

7:21 am

had a session with the pastor last night that was very productive. :)

7:21 am

gortmold, I don't know her name either :-)

7:22 am

pop culture from 60 years ago, gort!

7:22 am

neither do I

7:22 am

I thought everybody was raised on old disney movies, even now!

I didn't know Bambi's mother - and I have seen the film and cried through it!

7:22 am

Tried to google it, and it says she wasn't named!

Sounds like a good pub quiz question.

7:22 am

yes, we all cried when e** died in the beginning

7:23 am

*sob* yes, I was very upset

7:23 am

was it Venison?

7:23 am

how old are the founders of google????

7:23 am

it's the 71st anniversary of the Wizard of Oz!

7:23 am

pretty damned young ruby. Son works there

7:23 am

my son was raised on Oz books, has a whole collection of them

7:24 am

Good point Ruby! But it was a website about Bambi trivia, I suppose.

7:24 am

in Ann Arbor, where my daughter lives, the old refurbished theatre is sponsoring a showing of the film as a singalong -- words provided to audience!

7:24 am

there again, never seen wiz of oz. have been living under rock

7:24 am

gortmold, heresy!!!

7:24 am

and I think the last of the "little people" died this past year! They had a convention in Kansas every year

7:24 am

i remember that, ruby . . .

7:24 am

well, the rock is well stocked with mud, berries and scratching sticks

7:25 am

gortmold, W of O is a must see

7:25 am

must go feed pups . . . back in a mo

7:25 am

Gortmold, you can borrow my copies -- have it in b&w and color! :-)

7:25 am

WHAT??? How is that possible? You weren't traumatized by the witch as the rest of us were?

7:26 am

husband never saw it either (nor did his children which is probably why he doesn't hear from them)

7:26 am

no matter how many times I saw it, I was soooooo scared of the witch!!

7:26 am

never fear, champ, i was plenty traumatised, just not with tv witches (real ones, sure)

I was traumatised by Snowhite and Cinderella as a little girl. *Sniff*

7:26 am

have a friend who had nightmares about the flying monkeys, even as an adult! LOL

7:27 am

That dang witch...although I thoroughly enjoyed "Wicked"!

Must be a Babbler if they dream of flying monkeys :-)

7:27 am

I'm melting.....

7:28 am

and your little dog too!

7:29 am

Not my dog!!!

7:29 am

ok NOW I'm off to feed pups *poof*

7:29 am

haven't heard anything yet that makes me think i missed something great...rock is looking calm and pleasant and yap-dog free by comparison

Oh that is SO not a word. Have just got Sprite's earlier comment about sounding like a cold word. My last B word and just tried it on the off chance. Grumble, grumble.

7:30 am

phone, again

7:31 am

those movies were scary but, in the end, I think it helps keep kids in their place! hard-as-nails Ruby!

7:31 am

what place is that? cowering under the blankets?

7:31 am

why isn't perve a word? mmmmmmm...

7:32 am

"not in charge!"

7:32 am

heres

7:32 am

Am sure you'd be more accommodating, Ruby!

7:33 am

sorry, pb for moi!!!

RUBY!!!!

7:33 am

just kidding, champ

ty ruby I didnt have that one but off to the pb with you

7:33 am

I know!

7:33 am

bad ruby..... slinking away on the wings of the flying monkeys

7:33 am

melting away.....

7:34 am

That was a little one...surely no need for PB?

7:34 am

and I was guessing, not even getting to half today

7:34 am

is the ev5 an invitation via email?

7:35 am

there is actually a company called that, gort

7:35 am

you betcha gort

The funny thing to me is that when I read back through a little of the chog, I get lots of words from people typing he** and so on, and therefore drawing attention to the word I might have missed if they had just used it in their chat.

7:35 am

Yes gort...

7:35 am

that's true sally, like pe**

7:36 am

Gort...you weren't fibbing about the rock, were you? :)

7:36 am

I always try inee and it never works. Isn't it a poison for darts?

7:36 am

hey guys could i get some help with pr 9/67

7:36 am

7:38 am

7:38 am

7:39 am

nm, got the re 7

7:39 am

3 re7's, my first one is a plural of re6

be i havent listed yet but is it to re mold into a new form

7:40 am

no, not tht one, but I have the one I was looking for

7:40 am

ty NonNo

7:40 am

before that one is pl of what you sow, thus shall ye re**

7:40 am

those who do that

7:41 am

that's called cluing in English as not my first language lol

thanks ruby it made sense to me :)

7:41 am

I thought you were a native English speaker ruby

7:42 am

yes, just clue like one who isn't

7:42 am

me too- thanks ruby

7:42 am

awkward syntax!

7:42 am

convoluted thinking

7:42 am

great clue, ruby

7:42 am

convoluted thinking rocks, ruby

7:42 am

yes, of course, bichon, queens!!!

7:43 am

you are all so nice!

7:43 am

My randdaughter thinks I'm always sleepy because I am re 6/18

7:43 am

*granddaughter

7:43 am

course, i have a thing for rocks

7:44 am

putting those flying monkeys to work, bichon

7:45 am

todays breakfast: ham-n-SPINACH omelette. (spinach in caps becase there is a LOT of it) lets see if this is any good...

7:45 am

that just gave me an 8, bichon, but not the one you clued!

7:46 am

there is 2 *s Ruby and 3 7s

7:46 am

2 8s

7:46 am

both 8's mean pretty much the same thing

7:46 am

Eva, I LOVE spinach in an omelet! Do you happen to add salsa?

7:46 am

clue for the 1st re6/27 pls?

7:47 am

dont have that one yet, sorry gort

7:47 am

they didnt have any salsa, but i got some ketchup. normally, i wouldnt slather a breakfast in ketchup, but i have LEARNED about the caf food. ;)

7:47 am

think a flowing body of water, but ad an extra vowel in the 3rd spot

7:47 am

those who re** what they sow

7:47 am

Ahhhh...note for when you're cooking the breakfast!

7:48 am

bichon, thanks!

7:48 am

yvw

7:48 am

ooh, great clue, bichon, got 2 from it!

7:49 am

I think I need a Tylenol from all these re's

7:49 am

heh, yeah. if i were at home, well, we dont often have spinach in the house. if i made a quiche (because thats what it is -- not sure why i said omelette!) it would probably be onions, peppers, and cheese. and anything else i could find to throw in there. :)

7:49 am

yvw ruby

7:49 am

Im with you annie

7:49 am

vowel in 2nd spot, but i got it from that thanks bich

7:49 am

reps

7:50 am

I keep frozen spinach. If you stick in the pan first, with a lid, and cook while you're chopping up some mushrooms/onion and beating the egg whites, it goes pretty quickly.

7:50 am

so what does it mean to ive in the first place i wonder

7:50 am

sorry, I'm getting punchy so will fly away....*poof*

7:50 am

I am flying with you, ruby...bbl

7:50 am

Eva...have a great recipe for a crustless quiche that you might like. Spinach and eggs and whatnot...throw it in a bowl, mix it up, put in a pan and bake. Easy peasy!

7:51 am

the eye dr actually wants me to eat more spinach. and orange bell peppers. says they both contain some nutrient that may be able to help my vision stop deteriorating so quickly...

ttfn ruby and annie

7:51 am

are you on the curves diet, by any chance champ?

7:51 am

champ -- sounds great! the crust is my LEAST favorite part of a quiche (i usually pick it off) but isnt a crust-less quiche just a fritatta?

7:51 am

No...just closing in on 50 and having to watch what I put in my mouth!

7:52 am

IDK...the recipe actually calls it "Easy Italian Spinach Pie". It's on kraftfoods.com You can search for it on there pretty easily.

7:52 am

thanks for the tip. :)

7:53 am

always looking for recipes to spice things up

7:53 am

food and babble!

7:53 am

they go hand-in-hand. :)

7:54 am

sh 7/40?

7:54 am

fizzy lemon powder, bich

7:55 am

that doesn't ring a bell gort

7:55 am

HUH?

7:55 am

not Darryl Braithwaite group?

7:56 am

bichon: my favorite frozen dessert is rainbow SH7

7:56 am

got it...not ice cream...

7:56 am

in that case, sunny bono's wife (misspelled) + wager

7:56 am

aha! ty Eva

7:56 am

ty!

7:56 am

great clue eva thanks!

7:57 am

isn't that sorbet?

7:57 am

actually, it is lime, not rainbow. ;)

7:57 am

sorbet is yet another beat, i believe.

7:58 am

beast*

7:58 am

ok, meeting time for me. be back soon!

7:59 am

have a lovely!

8:08 am

for fireworks the very last v in the grid vi 5/16?

v + angers, bichon

vi + sit down and have a ***t

8:11 am

Is it Latin for "beyond the powers"?

Plural of vis

8:12 am

sit down and have a ...snack?

8:13 am

;-) actually, good clue Sally!

I quite like a snack while I ***t!

8:15 am

hee. yes after I've been off on all those ca++++

I always find it so interesting how we all use different words, how the word sh7/40 is instantly familiar to the English, but not the USians, and the word ca*** to me calls up a vision of skipping about rather than the food item.

8:18 am

ahh. love short meetings. :)

8:19 am

I always go to the food item Sally!

But I don't think it's so commonly eaten in the UK. We have them, we might eat them, but not so commonly.

And I remember sh7 lemons as a child, but obviously that's not an international thing.

8:21 am

hi all

We would suck the sh7 through a straw and it would go up our nose - er, no it wasn't what you think :-)

8:21 am

Definitely not...well not over here anyway. That clue threw me for a loop!

8:22 am

That's like a shake, only with the sh7? I didn't know people did that! But then again, why not?

8:22 am

we know all about sh7 over here, we just put it in punch more often than eat it as it

It's the same with "celebrities" or characters. I have never viewed the particular soap that *** Sharples was in, but it would be instantly recognisable here. Whereas often people from US or Oz give similar clues and we all go "huh?"!

No it was (is) a powder.

8:23 am

ooh, one of my favorite frozen desserts is in the grid

You could get it loose (and suck it through a straw) or contained in a pretend lemon, and when you sucked it the powder would come out and fizz.

8:24 am

Dear goodness..I have some kids that would be all over that!!!

http://www.partydelights.co.uk/sweets/ sweet_confirm.asp?ProductID=SWEE169&sr c=gbase

8:25 am

We called the lemon sh7 in the US lemon ices. The only that you can suck through a straw

8:25 am

as kids, we used to have sh7 bombs, pink 'lolly' around the powder - or small packets of the powder that you ate with a small spoon. Yum

(Tried to find a link without the actual WORD in the url!)

sally we had those but they were called fizz sticks or some such thing

8:25 am

back to housecleaning,

8:26 am

my favorite is orange sh7

8:26 am

yeah, we definitely had fizzy powder. but not such fun names...heh

8:26 am

OHHHHH...those DO look fizzy, given the ingredients. Fun snack item!

8:26 am

Well done Sally!

8:27 am

ok, so now I figured out why I have no idea what you're all describing... in the US, we call a frozen, almost ice cream-like treat by the name sh7/40

I loved them. Seem to remember we sometimes had liquorice straws to suck the powder up. So black sticky faces!

8:27 am

there ya go!

8:27 am

that's what i was talking about, msideb

If you saw a child with powder round its nose these days you would think something else :-)

8:28 am

shervil

8:28 am

Sorry!

8:28 am

Took me a sec... it's still early, although not too early to catch you fishing, Champ =P

8:28 am

r

8:28 am

Fishing and missing!

8:29 am

very true, sally

The loss of innocence is sad.

8:30 am

hello all

8:30 am

Don't get me started! Just found out that a parent in my area is buying booze for the teenagers...15 year olds.

8:30 am

this is the first morning since I brought Zoe-Anne home from the vet that she is not staying in the closet!

8:31 am

hi and congrats pe4

thats totally wrong Champ!

8:31 am

ty ardilla

8:31 am

Yep! She's divorced and apparently trying to go back in time through her daughter.

progress is being made Pe**

8:32 am

is the list up?

8:32 am

indeed, NoNo, such a relief. I am still keeping her upstairs with me

At 15! You are still the parent.

8:32 am

yes there is a list

8:32 am

thx

Yes, on my final 34 and now listing.

8:32 am

One would think! We're trying to reach her to give her the chance to stop. Otherwise, we can file a report and let the constables handle it.

Think it's illegal in the UK to give alcohol under a certain age (not sure of age since my son is all growed up).

Champ the autorities should be notified anyway. She is starting those teens on a very bad path

8:34 am

Morning!

hi Car

8:34 am

I have one growed up, thankfully, but 2 more behind! Nono, I talked to a constable about it. At the time, I didn't realize she was doing it for "everyone". Found that out after.

Sally it is illegal here as well. In most states the legal age for drinking alcohol is 21

8:35 am

It sure isn't 15!!!

8:36 am

yeah, 15 is a little young, even for underage drinking, which although I don't officially condone is undoubtedly exacerbated by the legal drinking age being 21 in the US

8:38 am

I know kids drink...but someone giving it to them without parental permission is wrong. I seem to remember stealing liquor at that age...! Occassionally...

8:38 am

i agree, mside -- you can join the military and die for your country, you can smoke your way to cancer, but heaven forbid you have a drink. ;)

Faints. Have just googled. In UK, minimum age for consumption of alcohol in private is 5 (!!!!), in public with a meal and accompanied by an adult is 16, and for buying it it is 18. 5!!

8:39 am

Sally, you were better off not knowing! Rehab for 5 year olds!

I imagine if you regularly gave 5-year olds alcohol you would be prosecuted under some other law - not fit to be a parent or something.

This is the article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_dri nking_age

8:41 am

there are several photos of me as a toddler with a can of beer in my hand. however, i was a sneaky kid, and i dont think my parents ever handed it over. ;)

8:45 am

I had it very young too. My dad would have some on occasion, and would let me have a sip. The horror! :)

8:46 am

oh, i was just a little thief...hehe

8:46 am

Isn't that what kids do? Till someone smacks them?

8:47 am

i think my parents just hoped i drank enough to "fall asleep" lol

I've heard of parents putting gin? brandy? on a baby's dummy

8:48 am

ive heard of that too, sally. especially when they are teething.

8:49 am

OH! Just noticed I'm past halfway! How'd that happen? BBL...poof!

8:52 am

Ugh...so many E's!!!!

8:53 am

ooh, underage drinking? step aside, I am an authority on the subject ;)

Not really that many from each tile. (struggling with the Ps atm)

We have discovered you have to be over 5, NB, much to my shock.

But you can't buy it for yourself at that age :-)

8:54 am

::opens arms wide and looks at NB, expectantly::

hi NB

8:55 am

(((Eva))) good morning, gorgeous!

8:55 am

not so sure about the gorgeous part, im afraid. thanks to a smashing rainstorm outside, i highly resemble a drowned rat!

8:55 am

Mind you - the drinking age in the USA is much too high, I feel. I refuse to go there for another year!

8:56 am

and hello, Nono - and everyone else :)

lol, NB.

Not long till your trip now.

the legal drinking age is a much debated issue here

Legal age in S Korea is 19.

8:57 am

Hi!

8:58 am

Eight days :S although actually, you can drink at 18 there, as long as you're turning 19 that year.

many feel, as do I and I see Eva as well, that if a young person can serve and die for thier country at the age of 18 then they should have the right to have a drink

Have been meaning to ask you (wasn't here when you announced the trip), what has prompted you to go, and are you going with any family? (Don't say if it's private)

9:00 am

Legal - schmeagle. *pops cork* Who wants bubbly?

9:00 am

yes, thats my thought, nono. also, i feel that anything held SO taboo is just going to make people want it more. if the access were a little more relaxed, kids wouldnt care so much...

9:01 am

the problem with that argument Nono is that it's old and overused... I don't disagree, but I think the more pressing issue is that of drunk driving. Kids aren't exposed to alcohol before then begin driving, and when they finally can (either legally or otherwise) the combiniation is deadly

9:01 am

And, good morning, as well.

9:01 am

{{slides tall champagne flute over to Judi}}

9:02 am

OK... I just need 1 more E word...from the top row...

I agree with that as well Eva, I do believe that the more relaxed laws of Europe and other places works very well. Young people are inclined to show more moderation it isn't taboo

9:02 am

I always laugh when people say marijuana is a "gateway drug". Alcohol is the biggest gateway drug EVER.

9:03 am

it's okay - I've wanted to go and see my extended family ever since I found out that my parents told them all I was dead, so for my birthday, my friends bought me a trip there! So going alone, and we'll see what happens...

the sword ep4 Car

9:03 am

I do have that one...

maybe ep4/6?

9:04 am

That was it! TY!

yw

Oh that's wonderful NB! I so hope it goes well for you. Will you just turn up and say, hey I'm alive? (hope none of them have weak hearts or you might be responsible for a lot of fatalities!)

9:06 am

As yet, I'm not sure :) I'm hoping the right way to act will just come to me when I get there! thanks for the good wishes; I might need some luck, with my family ;)

9:06 am

I might be being dense, Judi - what's a gateway drug?

Gateway to hard drugs

9:07 am

I wish you a safe and peaceful trip NB!

9:08 am

One of our silly Yank expressions, NB. It means a drug that (supposedly) makes you want to try stronger drugs.

9:08 am

Well thank you, Car! :)

9:09 am

oooh, that makes more sense, Judi. I was thinking in terms of mushrooms - the gateway to the miiiind - but thought that was probably not what you meant...

9:09 am

the theory is that people who do marijuana will eventually do something like cocaine, then maybe meth, etc., each step progressively more detrimental

It's silly really, because by that analogy people who drink wine with their dinner will end up as alcoholics in the gutter ((carefully brushes mud off clothes*)

9:10 am

For some addictive personalities, that may well be true. However, for most people, I don't think marijuana leads to crack houses and shooting galleries.

9:10 am

BBL...must go play fishing game on the Wii!

9:11 am

I agree - I won't lie; I've tried my fair share of drugs. And I've come out of it all with an addiction to nothing stronger than nicotine.

hello

hello Herin

waves hello

9:13 am

certainly not, and I have too, NB... but the original stimulus for marijuana to be made illegal was the whole "reefer madness" craze in the 20s when the white upper class came onto the notion that black men would do marijuana and rape white women... that led to fear, which led to widespread support for its outlawing, and without really any medical reasoning, the rest is history

9:13 am

I tried a few things in my much younger days. But, I would never dream of even touching meth, crack, LSD, etc.

9:14 am

LOL. "Reefer Madness" was hilarious. MJ makes you mellow and hungry and totally unmotivated to commit any crimes.

9:15 am

Oh, I think I've heard something like that before, Mside - lots of theories as to why it was made illegal. Some crazier than others ;)

Maybe the women were robbed for munchy money (sorry I should SO not be joking aobut that)

9:16 am

I was similar, Judi. My rule was nothing that had to be injected, 'cause I'm squeamish about needles. LSD was terrifying and I would NEVER do it again.

9:17 am

I work at a PD station. We get bulletins all the time about new and fashionable drugs. Now dealers are making hard candy laced with marijuana.

Nancy was that the Headhog experience?

9:19 am

lol. There was even a factory in some southern state that was making confections like, "Pot Tarts".

9:20 am

mmmm... those sound delicious. pop one in the toaster for breakfast and have a nice day

I just need real pop tarts. Got to love and embrace my ADHD tendancies

9:21 am

*plans to secretly shop online for "special lollipops" tonight*

9:21 am

Oh no, the hedgehog experience was magic mushrooms, and they were just lovely. LSD I tripped out very badly - the sky was bright purple and I was seeing dead bodies everywhere. I thought it was the apocalypse!

9:21 am

Bummer, NB.

9:22 am

yeah, that sounds like a bad trip... I'd definitely try shrooms though. would you recommend it, NB?

9:23 am

the problem with the weed is that while it may not lead to other drugs it is almost always the

NB yuo were lucky with the shrooms I had spiders

BIG ones

9:23 am

gateway drug

9:24 am

I always press the wrong thing

Well I have pretty sparkly things without the aid of LSD, so will go before the talk gets really illegal :-)

9:25 am

discussion is the gateway to knowledge

9:25 am

I wasn't aware one could get high from spiders? I'd have to rank that one down there with toad licking.

9:25 am

wine will do me

9:25 am

at risk of causing controversy, Mside, being on shrooms was one of the most joyful times I can remember. The atmosphere would have helped too - I was at a festival, so people and music everywhere - but it was just incredible.

9:25 am

licking a toad is not my thing

9:27 am

(so that's a yes, I guess ;))

9:28 am

Toads = unsanitary.

9:28 am

haha, interesting... controversy or not, I don't mind satisfying my curiosity by asking about it. sounds like a lot of peace love and music to me

9:29 am

we have lots of frogs hopping around here tonite (sandy stares at a frog)

9:30 am

and tomorrow we will have some mushrooms on the paddock.....

9:30 am

Ew ew ew. I think you have to stick to the cain toads to get the amphibian high.

9:30 am

well that was it exactly, Mside...people dancing, flowers blossoming, red sunsets, that sort of thing ;)

9:31 am

those cane toads are really revolting

9:31 am

Hello, all!

9:31 am

Sorry. I guess I must have been thinking of the co-caine toad. (nyuk nyuk nyuk)

Hi (((Jellen)))))

9:32 am

Jellen! [[[[[[HUGS]]]]]. And sincere condolences as well, dear.

9:32 am

hi jellen, ((hugs))

HI Jellen. Sandy you guys have the cane toads?

9:33 am

I'd love to know exactly what circumstances led to the first person figuring out that you could get high from licking a toad.

9:33 am

Thank you Judi

9:33 am

we don't herin, they occasionally have been seen in our norwest and there is a society who is putting things in order so that they can keep the spread to our state under control

9:34 am

Off to the PB for all those who referred to the ca4 toad.

9:35 am

I think if a bouny of 20 cents even was put on their heads, kids would go around catching and cashing in - it would save the government loads in the long run

9:35 am

Maybe they were high on marijuana and got the munchies and the only thing in sight was a toad? so marijuana actually would be a gateway drug... a gateway to TOADS!

9:35 am

Hey, I didn't have that one and I only have 29 left

9:36 am

Lets face it , it was the bounty on the Tassie Tiger that caused it to become extinct

9:36 am

LOL!! I'm sure ;)

9:36 am

LOL, msideb! I think what really happened was, some guy saw his dog get a little loopy after trying to chomp a ca4 toad. Thought it might work for him as well. That, or it was a carefully controlled laboratory experiment. (Yeah. Right.)

9:37 am

just seems like it would be one of those dubious stories that a weird friend tells you that starts with, "well, I was crawling along and licking the pavement, when..."

9:38 am

Good morning all

9:38 am

though on that note, I'm off to work. don't smoke, lick, eat or snort anything without me...

9:38 am

Jellen, Ihope this incredibly silly conversation is cheering you up

9:38 am

Seeya, NB. Don't work too hard.

9:38 am

hi Bob

9:38 am

not until after work at least, NB =D

9:38 am

Hiya, Mr. Bob.

Sandy they recomend that if one sees a cane toad one puts it in a big tub thing then takes it too a vet ag dep to make sure it isn't a native toad

Later NB

9:39 am

No c*** toads have made it to Perth yet

9:40 am

Hi, Bob

HI Bob

9:48 am

Ah. Time for that second cup.

9:51 am

brb

9:58 am

9:59 am

10:01 am

10:01 am

Hi, crossy!

10:01 am

((jellen))

10:01 am

yes

10:01 am

And scribkd and jmc!

10:02 am

*imagining house trained domesticated toads*

10:02 am

Hi Jellen-good to see you back on

10:02 am

our sense of ferral = a type of toad not native to the country in which it resides at the moment

10:03 am

=imported critters

*wonders why Judi has a cattle prod?*

10:32 am

Hi, ruru

10:32 am

Because I am a slow-poke.

scrabs, i am on vacation also

10:33 am

thank you judi

10:33 am

I returned from the Adirondack Mtns on Tues evening + go back to work on Monday. It's nice to be at home.

10:33 am

In case of slow moving cows. *rolls eyes*

10:33 am

*thinking about twitchiness*

10:34 am

That's me, Judi. A slow heifer.

10:34 am

Jitters, apprehension, etc.

10:34 am

I am dozing off...bbs...

Have a nice na4, Jellen.

10:35 am

Oh, a neuroanatomy word.

Hi Jill

10:42 am

Perfect timing on post scrabbler, I have been lurking..on for "just a few minutes" and can't seem to quit!

10:43 am

I am at that point where I realize that words can begin with vowels. Everyday that is a new revelation in Babble.

10:44 am

i hate words that begin with vowels :-(

10:44 am

Yes, I overlook them.

10:47 am

Well, must get some housework done 57 down.. :(

10:47 am

Go Jill go!

10:47 am

bbl...

anyone else want pasta primavera with hummus recipe while i am here?

10:50 am

Woo hoo. I passed halfway. 120/114. Off to town to do errands--computer shop, post office + grocery store.

10:50 am

Bye Owl!

Hello, caitlyn.

11:47 am

Hi Haz how are you?

11:48 am

Well enough, how about you?

11:49 am

Ok thanks, I have been a bit too grumpy to chat but Im getting over it lol

11:49 am

Join the club.

11:50 am

I just know that unless I keep completely quiet, I'm going to lose my diplomatic status.

11:50 am

A player ??

11:51 am

Yes, my tolerance levels are shot to bits.

11:51 am

Why are you grumpy?

11:52 am

Issues with family health, my mum, and my haelth, apart from that all ok LOL

What happened to your tolerance levels, Haz? You always seem so calm.

11:53 am

Poor caitlyn, you have good reason to be grumpy. But are you still slim and getting slimmer?

11:53 am

Sometimes, helens, appearances can be deceptive!

11:53 am

Oh yes we started a year ago today and we both have lost 4 stone

11:54 am

Well done!

Congrats and hugs.

11:54 am

Thanks, we wouldnt eat now like we used to

Both spellings are used - I think the "a" one may be more common. I also tried "pine" on it - I know I've seen that - but it still wouldn't take it!

(((bye peri)))

1:20 pm

sounded like it to me, needs a big hug!!!

1:20 pm

sorry all, at Mother's having some fresh-baked cookies and conversation.

1:21 pm

I think bugsaw and jillibus have extra room at the casino they are going to stay at... Little Creek is close to our home and fairly affordable. OR, we have an air mattress...

1:22 pm

fresh baked conversation is much better than stale

1:22 pm

{{dancer}} so happy for keith!!!

1:22 pm

sounds like a plan

1:22 pm

thanks ruby

1:22 pm

(((YAY keith)))

1:23 pm

riemann, IF you were going to be here soon enough, you could have some cookies, but as Mother just said "they're not keepers" -- too delectable to sit around!

1:23 pm

I hope peri's okay...

1:23 pm

how's this grid anyway?

1:23 pm

which day are you getting here jmc? and how long are you staying?

1:23 pm

fun. it has a few builders

1:24 pm

and there tools Ruby :-)

1:25 pm

builders are so satisfying! how's your DH ruby?

1:25 pm

his wounds look better to me, but one of them will have to be cut so it will heal properly. spirits are low, however

1:26 pm

How is his mood, Ruby?

1:26 pm

really glum but at least he's speaking to me again

1:26 pm

yes, important to get the skin and all to knit properly. poor fellow. too bad he can't go fishing or something fun to take his mind off it.

1:26 pm

I see a LOT of wurds... I think I will log off and let Mother come in to play a bit. (((hugs all))) I will lurk and listen in the background. *poof*

1:32 pm

Oh, thank you for reminding me...need to call the optometrist...

1:33 pm

Yes, it was time for a new eye prescription and so I thought it wise to get the dark glasses also. Glare is not too comfortable these days.

1:33 pm

Hi, GE

finally sitting down after a busy morning. eldest had her senior portrait sitting today.

"where's my favorite sweater??" "where's my blue shirt" "i can't find that pair of shoes!" oh boy.

1:56 pm

lol, GE

and how are you today jellen?

1:58 pm

LOL GE!

1:58 pm

hi all!

time to go. happy babbling all

1:58 pm

{{{{jellen}}}}}

1:58 pm

bye TO....sorry I missed you!

1:58 pm

I am okay, GE...my first day alone, but I expect my minister will be dropping by later...

1:58 pm

Bye, TO

1:58 pm

I need to take engagement photos of my eldest soon...

1:58 pm

Hi, m9

1:59 pm

I would think that in some ways being alone is a relief?? at least for a bit of a breather?

1:59 pm

Have you had enough quiet around to pray?

these days will be tough, especially as things quiet down. but of course you always have us as a distraction, day or night

2:00 pm

A bit of a relief, but too quiet...

2:00 pm

well it is a gray, rainy depressing day here. but I just had some of Ben and Jerry's peach cobbler ice cream and I feel much beter.

2:00 pm

There are times when my prayers just consist of my mentally sitting on Heavenly Father's lap!!!

what nice visions: ben and jerry's ice cream and our Father's lap!!

2:01 pm

like a baby!

2:01 pm

:-)

2:02 pm

On Grief and Grieving: Elisabeth Kubler-Ross and David Kessler

2:02 pm

good Enough, I like the saying at the bottom of your profile. so true

2:02 pm

I guess I'm a visual kind of gal. When I know that I'm just not feeling the Spirit enough to even be able to approach Heavenly Father in prayer..I go through a kind of mental visual preparation.lol

2:02 pm

who is David Kessler?

2:02 pm

not too smarmy but helps you get over the hard parts a little

2:03 pm

another author, I see

2:03 pm

I like your icon GE.

2:03 pm

I've read all of ElzabethK-R's early books

2:04 pm

it is a newer addition but one would hope so since my husband died over 15 years ago

thanks Peri. last year when my mom was sick i felt so fragile and would sometimes wonder why people would act callous or whetever. then i would realize they didn't know i was in a fragile state. i wondered how many times have i been rough with peoples feelings when i didn't know that they were dealing with stuff. just a good reminder bc you never know.

2:05 pm

my cat has taken over my recliner :) but I am so happy that she is not staying in the closeet all day

2:05 pm

Thanks, jmc...will get a copy

2:05 pm

2:06 pm

well the smoke has cleared a little again

2:06 pm

hello everybody

2:06 pm

(((( jellen ))))

2:06 pm

hi jacq

2:06 pm

Hi, jac

2:06 pm

brb

2:06 pm

i don't pray hun but my thoughts are with you

2:06 pm

heya peri

2:06 pm

My mom died 6 days after I turned 20 and I was in a pretty intense program at college.. My Dad called me that morning and told me she had died in the night... I started crying and he said 'well now...don't be upset..." And I guess I just felt from my upbringing that I had to suck it up. Went to class that morning and didn't even tell my profs..

2:07 pm

"don't be upset " -- what a stupid remark! the poor man! and poor you

2:07 pm

yeah

oh my m! that's awful. but everyone deals differently

2:08 pm

I started crying in class so I went out into the seating area outside class..

2:08 pm

m, the same thing happened to me january 1st of this year. I feel for you! It is so hard to carry on

2:09 pm

oh I am so sorry dix!

2:09 pm

{{{dix}}}

2:09 pm

except she passed two weeks before my 20th birthday

2:09 pm

One of my profs was kind of flakey that year..and towards the end of the semester he apologized and said that they had been dealing with his wife's mother's health and death... I thought "hmmm"....

2:09 pm

thanks jmc

2:09 pm

that must have made your birthday hard

2:10 pm

m, I think it feels good to know there are others in your situation.

2:10 pm

i have been thinking of you and Tim, Jellen - like jacq I dont pray but I will alays send good things your way

2:10 pm

So I figured it may be ok to go talk to my profs and that maybe my mom's dying made it ok for me to have been having a bit of trouble.

2:10 pm

i was completely flakey the year my husband died but could let myself be because i had a 8 year old son

2:10 pm

When my Dad died...he died about a week BEFORE my birthday.

2:11 pm

it does help dix to know you are not alone

2:11 pm

oh jmc.. that's gotta be SO hard!!!!!

2:11 pm

oh m9 how tough!

2:11 pm

I'm so thankful I am still blessed with my dad! He is the reason I'm still in school!

2:11 pm

my husband died two weeks before my son's 8th birthday

2:12 pm

group hug!!!

i find it amazing that we humans are able to deal with such devastation and still go on. and thanks goodness we don't feel other people's looses as acutely or we'd never get out of bed again.

Hey again all! here for a few minutes' rest before putting more scarves in the stretchers.

just had to drop sydney at her birthday party and drop medication forms off at the high school

2:55 pm

Hey stid! I met your lovely Saltspring friends yesterday and had a wonderful time

2:55 pm

starting the grid. Only 234 to go! :-D

2:55 pm

Hi stid!!!!

2:56 pm

scarves in the stretchers...???

2:56 pm

how old is sydney?

hi stid, welcome

2:56 pm

yes, and if that doesn't work, I shall pull out the thumbscrews... LOL

she is 10

2:56 pm

hey bugs! aren't they WONDERFUL!!!

2:57 pm

bet the whole house seems different with her gone for the night!

2:57 pm

they certainly are. I am looking forward to meeting more Babblers next week. Babblers are such nice people

2:57 pm

yes, most babblers are! (haven't met them ALL yet... )

oh yes. and the eldest will be at work. we'll see what happens with the 15 year old.

2:58 pm

give the 15 year old headset and gameboy... *guilty mama look at advocating electronic nannies*

he has had soccer tryouts all day and the heat index is near 100 - i think he'll be too exhusted to do much of anything

lol stid - so true!

2:59 pm

When I dropped my 14 yo off tues morning for girl's camp... it hit me that next year when she goes to girl's camp.. Aiden will already by married and gone! It will just be me and the boys!

3:00 pm

you can cuddle up and watch a movie! 15 yo's often don't get their cuddle time..especially when there's other kids...

oops i thought Aiden was your husband

3:00 pm

My 19 yo boy is good about giving hugs in passing.

3:01 pm

oh! because i talk about Aiden cooking meals???

yeah i guess...

3:01 pm

that makes sense! she's my 22 yo

3:01 pm

wanna see her pic??????

oh i saw it the other day, beautiful!

so girl, boy, girl , boy?

3:02 pm

yes. My husband is Tim. Aiden is 22. He Who Shall Remain Nameless is 19, Elina is 14 and Gage is 4

3:02 pm

yup!

great names!

3:03 pm

and then there's Black our dog (going on 2), Tai Tai and Jessa the cats!

3:03 pm

thanks. Naming a child is heavy business.

you just spread those kids out as far as you could, didn't you!

3:04 pm

not on purpose. 5 miscarriages between Elina and Gage.

3:04 pm

YES! NBT!!!!

oh how terrible.

but you kept trying and.. success

3:04 pm

oh gee, m -- you didn't tell me that... (((hugs)))

3:04 pm

WTG Stid!!!!

oh stid, you are amazing

3:04 pm

Stid is fast

3:05 pm

yeah...those 3 month miscarriages are very horrible. even worse than the 5 month one.

3:05 pm

well, only 78 words acquired though. I have a few more before I go torture scarves

there are 5 years between jake and sydney because jake was such a handful we didn't know if we wanted to do that to ourselves again!

3:06 pm

LOL.. My sister Freda says that if Eva had been born before Kyle...she'd have been an only child!

Afternoon, stid what on earth are you doing to the scarves??

3:06 pm

what's with the scarves??

3:06 pm

blocking them?? have you been knitting?

we just had to wait long enough that we forgot what toddlerhood was like

3:06 pm

I think 3 years is a great spread.

too hard to to anything warm in this heat.

3:07 pm

I was figuring a couple days ago and my mom must have had her first 6 in about 10 or 11 years.

3:07 pm

no, to paint a silk scarf I place it on a stretcher to keep it up so the paint stays in the right place. Hold on...

3:07 pm

then a 5 year gap, and three more over 5 years.. for a total of 9 kids in 20/21 years

3:08 pm

AHHHHH....... pictures???

yikes m!

Oooh stid, its sort of like a face lift..for the scarf, painful but worth it?

rofl red!

3:08 pm

LOL GE. she was 41 when she had me. I was 42 when I had Gage... Just had to "one up" my mother!LOL

3:09 pm

dreaming..... if Icame to olytown I could take pics of scarbes......

3:09 pm

or scarves

3:09 pm

okay, the icon is now showing a scarf on a stretcher, just a closeup

sounds like you have a great family and that you give them 100% (except when babbling pe7)

3:09 pm

I'm pretty much hating p's now...

3:10 pm

yes m, you could! AND there is plenty of room in the tent methinks... LOL

3:10 pm

hey red! ((hugs)) didn't see you there!

3:10 pm

I can babble now. Gage is playing next door and I'm ALONE!!!

besides we need to take care of ourselves so we can take care of others

3:10 pm

ALONE?? *mind boggles at concept*

3:11 pm

*swoops down to the v's to get a break from p's*

hi stid, I am just sitting here quietly...

3:11 pm

3:11 pm

4:16 pm

Thursday, September 24, 2009 The Drama Queens The Drama Queens are back in town, Mascara teardrops rolling down Their florid cheeks past scarlet lips. Spilling forth, wild spurts and snips. Out of control, emotional cries. Heat of the moment, twisting lies. She hugs their broken, pent up sobs About their boyfriends, kids and jobs. Mrs. Fixit fixed it again And stemmed the flood of blackened rain. Off they trip, Oh! So satisfied. Come again on tomorrow's tide.

4:16 pm

me too lol

4:17 pm

My brother had dogs at his wedding.Maybe about 10 dogs there including mine. Dogs loved all the scraps.

4:17 pm

good poetry m..who is the author?

4:17 pm

4:17 pm

4:17 pm

my daughter.

4:18 pm

the beautiful one that I shared pics of.

4:18 pm

very talented girl

4:18 pm

I didn't see them

4:25 pm

he said it was raining into the basement

4:25 pm

ah, but your hubby didn't find it as bad as you thought?

4:26 pm

that's what he said maybe just trying to keep me sane lol

4:26 pm

well, bless him for that

4:26 pm

I do daily

4:27 pm

what if Ron hadn't stopped by ?

4:27 pm

true, fortunate that he did

4:27 pm

4:28 pm

I have a very annoying fly buzzing around, (just ate lunch at desk) have to get him

4:28 pm

flies are annoying

4:29 pm

4:29 pm

4:29 pm

Sorry...just jumped back in and saw your post. I house-sat for a friend, and on day 2, walked in to water pouring from their ceiling.

4:30 pm

thank goodness you were there

4:31 pm

Champ - is your icon pic you and hubby? Very handsome couple

4:31 pm

I was there twice a day anyway, but what if I hadn't been? Worked out...I handled it for them. But they had to come home to cement floors and loud fans!

4:32 pm

but what a blessing you were there and had access to fans, etc.

4:32 pm

I just read that more damage is caused by water than by fire in homes

4:32 pm

I believe it!

4:33 pm

I actually am - just wanted to participate in The Princess Bride discussion!

they both contain iocane powder!

7:22 pm

and there are 4 of us.. hi pretty lady!

as you wish......

7:26 pm

I still don't know why Champ wrote Chello!

7:26 pm

Being silly...for Hello!

7:27 pm

But iocane comes from Australia, as everyone knows, and Australia is entirely peopled with criminals, and criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you.

7:27 pm

is the first SH 7 fishy?

7:27 pm

I thought you were being inigo montoya!LOL

7:27 pm

m9, I'm crazy at the moment, so pay no attention!

7:27 pm

not fishy! fruity, cold and yummy!

7:27 pm

Stid..what up with the fish?

7:28 pm

Oooh...I have a lovely merlot...

7:28 pm

thanks m!

7:28 pm

Okay, someone tell this lurker what "fishy" means? And I can do the whole movie verbatim so I could be any of them.

7:28 pm

"fish" are easy words, like a tuna sandwich.

remember having push ups as a kid, they are made of orange sh7

7:29 pm

OK, well it's fishy when you get it. apparently much more popular in Britain. It's a cold treat,

7:29 pm

Ohhh - thanks, stid. At least I'll know what someone means when they ask that question.

need to get me one of theose for old time sake

7:41 pm

Hello everyone. I need a little parenting advice.....

7:41 pm

have that one, thanks Champ.

7:41 pm

need the one after the male zygote carrier thingy...

7:41 pm

hey Minski

7:41 pm

advice is free... and may be worth what you pay for it.

oooh sitting back to listen to minski...

7:42 pm

but go ahead...

7:42 pm

parenty advice--I'm not really in that busness any more as my children are grown ups.

7:42 pm

hello Mother!

7:43 pm

But that's good! I have some, still breathing, so we must have SOME clue, right?

7:43 pm

you can give grandparent advice...

7:43 pm

My 5 1/2 year old daughter just wet her bed not 5 minutes after I left the room after doing bedtime because she didn't think I spent enough time with her during our ni-ni process. While we were changing the sheets we told her we were angry with her and that we would let her know what her punishment is in the morning. She replied that we wouldn't remember in the morning so it doesn't matter.

7:43 pm

So what should the punishment be?

7:44 pm

she may be telling the truth minski

7:44 pm

could she have a UTI? that can cause previously continent children to have trouble.

7:44 pm

she's right about that, the consequence usually needs to be right away

7:44 pm

So did you remember?

7:44 pm

I'd dang sure remember, and maybe she should be the one to change the bed. And learn how to wash the sheets.

7:44 pm

another thought could be to let her sleep on a wet bed...

7:45 pm

No she's perfectly healthy. She was crying when I left the room because she didn't want me to leave.

7:45 pm

put a towel under the sheet and tell her you'll deal with it in the morning.

7:45 pm

Like it!

7:45 pm

I like that one. I wish I'd thought of it. I used to do that myself when I wet the bed.

7:45 pm

If she's healthy and otherwise doesn't have memory problems, I would let her take the natural consequences. *shrug*

7:46 pm

i would say let it go this time, but have a talk with her, and tell her if it happens on purpose again, she'll need to either sleep in wet sheets, or with no sheets and just a blanket. and/or she'll need to strip the bed. oh, had a thought! the punishment tomorrow is that she needs to do the laundry of the sheets.

7:46 pm

But you're feeling guilty...why?

7:46 pm

I was thinking no sweets or dessert for the weekend but we are going to a family reunion this weekend and it will be impossible to follow up on that.

7:46 pm

No. I'm pissed. I'm furious. This is a power struggle.

7:46 pm

sweets and dessert are unrelated to the action -- the consequence is best when it's directly related.

7:47 pm

I wouldn't sleep with her so she wet the bed.

7:47 pm

rofl... you're LITERALLY pissed... *grin*

7:47 pm

LOL stid!

7:47 pm

lol stid

7:48 pm

make her be the one to wash the sheets tomorrow, put them in the dryer, and she needs to help you remake the bed with those sheets tomorrow. that will drive it home.

7:48 pm

but tomorrow Minski, is a new day -- today's misbehavior should be left in the past... I think. -- unless you want her to help with the laundry, which is a great suggestion.

7:49 pm

Washing sheets is a logical consequence, even if you have already washed the ones that were soiled.

7:49 pm

(((Minski))) in a couple months, neither you nor she will remember this incident, you know.

7:49 pm

still need help on the next-to-last sp 6/24 please?

7:49 pm

you're right about the sheets. she will do her own laundry in the morning and help me fold hte sheets.

7:49 pm

before the orb...

7:50 pm

that's about the right amount of work for a 5-year old, imho

7:50 pm

Minski, you get to win...you're the momma. It'll be ok.

it's a control issue. don't make a big deal about the punishment (help with laundry is great) and tomorrow night do not give in. ni-ni process and go!

i mean go as in leave not go as in...go!

7:51 pm

yes. what good said. it's like when she was very little and you were first putting her to sleep alone in the crib. Be consistent. Be kind, but firm. DON'T give in.

7:51 pm

thanks guys. back tot he grid. I have 178 words left to find.

7:51 pm

go Minski go!

7:51 pm

Those words are going DOWN!

7:52 pm

One more word mama? I have 171.

Minski - love the girls names. Paige was in the running and I have a Sydney.

7:53 pm

7:56 pm

7:58 pm

so for now, we just unplug it to reset the system between loads. and we can't leave it unattended.

7:59 pm

oh! and I am SO EXCITED about opening night today... took Pooh Bah and Nanki-Poo to call; and we were so on time we were EARLY! LOL

7:59 pm

they seemed appropriately subdued. I think they're a bit nervous.

8:10 pm

8:13 pm

8:16 pm

10:04 pm

After taking several cat na 4/5 today, I took a good bi 4/6 out of this grid. Did not like the way it tasted so I quit at 171 words.Now he4/5 is a story of clues. It ir4/4 me when celebrities think that they can get away with anything.Take Mel Gibson for example. He is the biggest jerk I've ever se4/4. He is even worse than Charlie Sh4/5. Mel Gibson has some ne5/16! Mel Gibson has been acting a little ee 5/10 lately. In fact he has been acting ee6/18 now than did a few years ago. He er4/4 every time he leaves a nasty message for Oksana. He does not treat her with one ounce of resp4/6t.Pe7/40 Gibson needs some therapy. Maybe after therapy Mel Gibson will be able to make pe5/14 with Oksana. However, Oksana is not so pr 4/6 and proper herself. I think she egged him on so she could sell him down the ri5/16. I used to like Gibson. Now I think he is a he4/5.The me4/5 sight of him makes me want to he4/5. His voice gets on my ne6/27 now. To me, he is just a waste of sp 5/14. Someone needs to grab him by the na4/5 of his neck & just shake some sense into him. Think he should be booted out of this hemisp6/24 & up into sp 5/14. I think that he should reti4/4 and pe4/6anently become a he6/24 because his career is over.His re4/5s will drop him. His movie career is over and he certainly won't be getting any jobs doing pr 5/14 ti4/5 TV. He won't be getting any jobs based on me 5/12. I am sure that he has lost all his friends in his in5/10 circle.I'm sure he'll no longer re 4/5 the benefits of being a celebrity.I am sure pe 5/14 just le 4/4 at him when they see him.There's no way he can re 7/36 his image. Now I am off to watch a Re4/4e Witherspoon movie now. Watching a movie at this hour might make me sl 8/45 than I already am so I will be a sl7/32 and go to sl 5/12 after movie.Bye

10:04 pm
