thank you came to screeching halt at 89 to go this does not bode well, LOL

ty Jill Strawberries are my one and only weakness not

1:14 am

I love strawberries too

we'll dribble a little chocolate and some cream over them and have a party

1:16 am

need another cup of tea, brb

1:16 am

gasp - I have just found out that enable doesn't believe in santa -how could thta be?

1:17 am

toast a cranberry scone, cover with strawberries and creme fraiche

the imagery coming off that island in Norway is just not acceptable for human consumption! Why do the news corps do that??

sorry, but it is bloody disturbing to see that

1:19 am

because they are selfless money hungry newscasters who dont give a damn about the friends and familes of the vitims

I think we need to see this mrp we all need to wake up to how we live with each other

1:19 am

victims* makes me mad too

or the people who will suffer endless sleepless nights from seeing that

1:20 am

they can talk about it all they want, they just do not have to be so crass when it comes to the images

i understand vanilla, the wake up call came back in 2001... but to show live footage?? no

that is what I am saying meli... it was just awful to see that!

I know its horrible

dead kids on the rocks of the island?? video footage?

1:21 am

there was a wreck by my house the other night, a man died, my idiot neighbor was down there with his cell phone taking pictures before the police and ambulance even got there, I was so darn mad at him and screamed at him to back off

I just cry when I see that... I watched live the second plane go into the twin tower and that was enough for me to cry for days

what a d**khead! i hope he gets arrested for that kind of behaviour

sry have to go bbl

see ya vanilla

1:23 am

I told the police he had pictures and told them where he lived

1:23 am

I do not know if they did anything about it however

1:23 am

brb need a snack =)

sorry to come in the convo with this, but it shocked me!

brb, need a vodka

1:30 am

is the tr 8 a compoun word?

haven't found it yet meli

oh, and to top it off, my daughter came home with sad news too

1:32 am

oh what is up with her?

one of her good friends... 13 years old... pregnant

1:33 am

oh my goodness another baby having a baby

and she isn't telling an adult about it.... won't tell her mother, is just ignoring it and hoping it will 'go away'

1:34 am

perhaps your daughter can talk to the school nurse?

i know the young girl... it is a situation I can't obviously get involved in.

1:35 am

can you talk to the young girl mrp?

i have suggested that her friend speak with the school welfare councelor

i can flosey, but I would be putting my nose in where it wasn't welcome.

i feel for her... she can't communicate with her mother, and to be having unprotected sex at 13 is just incredibly dumb! The both of them... the boy is 13 too, I know of him

i feel that a call to the school welfare officer is warranted... but keep it anon

1:37 am

that is what I would do

my daughter wants to take her to our doctor, and the girl has agreed

but she doesn't want her mum to know about it

1:38 am

can children that young down there go to the dr without a parent to sign for them?

by law, i have to report it

no meli, her mother would find out cause the doc would have to tell

1:40 am

well she needs to be seen what if there are complications? both for her sake and the babies

1:42 am

certainly she can see a doctor without parental knowledge but the doctor would advise her of her options and the necessity of parents knowledge

1:43 am

oh boy

1:44 am

and the boy has no worries

that is true flosey

no jilli, he hasn't reacted either way... cause he is 13

if I reported it to a teacher, it would then be by law that the teacher would have to report it to authorities... It is another way around

1:45 am

hi babblers,mrp,jilli,flosey,ruru,meliae. ...I couldn't sleep, and just came online.....I just glanced over at the chog...mrp..I am worried that if you take the girl to the doctor without her parents knowledge that you are setting yourself up for trouble?

a 13 year old would have no bloody clue i should think. he would only wait and see what she did

hi robbie :)

1:46 am

someone has to r3eport it before the girl does something dumb

i know robbie, that is why I don't want to do it that way

1:46 am

I was just thinking about the unfairness of it all

1:46 am

mrp..hugs!

yes ruru, you are right... she is covering up her feelings right now... not good.

1:47 am

very sad situation

1:47 am

babies dont' jsut go away.. ask Arnold Swarzenegger

lickety and i spoke about it, the welfare of the girl is important

1:47 am

yes.. her welfare comes first.

1:48 am

why can't the girl speak to her mother..is she scared or other problems?

1:48 am

it's too late to condom her activities

robbie, some kids are not supervised, the parents are off having their 'own life' and the mother doesn't even know she has a boyfriend

1:49 am

older girls than this one have been afraid to tell their parents, she needs guidance, are there public health clinics in your area mrp

yes flosey

1:49 am

tsk tsk ruru

1:50 am

the nurses there are generally very understanding, caring, and would certainly advise her to involve her parent(s)

1:50 am

have her watch Juno mr. P

I can't do much unless it is ''true'' either.

1:51 am

absolutely, reason to see Dr. if she isn't, Dr. does not have to say anything

no ruru, but I am about to watch a movie called "Thirteen"... my MIL gave me a copy and said 'watch it!' so will put it on tonight

correct flosey, absolutely right

1:51 am

at least she can be tested at a clinic

1:52 am

mrp..has she taken a home test?

just a urine test, and then a blood test would need to be authorised if she was

robbie, i am not sure... the girls are keeping tightlipped, but my daughter tells me everything she knows

1:53 am

those urine tests are pretty acurate

1:54 am

thirteen.. wow

unfortunately, one of her friends was having sex at 11.

1:54 am

omg

1:54 am

poor dear!...I have a friend who had a baby at 15...13 is so young

1:55 am

yikes! 11!

this one particular girl has her reputation, and all the boys know where to go to 'get some'

1:56 am

oh boy...sounds like a troubled girl..how sad

1:59 am

it will trouble her .. her whole life I bet

1:59 am

where are the parents in all of this

2:00 am

she will certainly never forget it

2:03 am

I had my first child at 15 but I had a very loving and supportive family, something it sounds like she does not have unfortunately

2:03 am

and she is also 2 years younger than I was I just cannot imagine that

2:04 am

me neither

2:04 am

yes, 2 years means so much at that age!

2:05 am

so much for a first kiss in australia I guess

2:05 am

I was actually 2 months shy of my 16th birthday but sheesh it was still rough with my family helping and all I went through some rough times, all the boys thought that because I had already had a baby I was easy, and mind you this wqs 37 years ago, it was way more bad then

2:06 am

yes meliae.. it was different then

2:07 am

I'm so glad that you had a supportive family meliae

2:07 am

my mom liked to say I was a good kid until "that" night, first time I snuck out, first time I got drunk, first time I had sex, and first time I got pregnant. LOL

2:08 am

oh

2:08 am

I did it all in one fell swoop LOL easy to laugh about now but sheesh

2:09 am

talk about d

2:09 am

talk about going out with a bang..

2:09 am

dont you know I nai led my daughters window shut when she hit puberty LOL

2:09 am

hahahah Ru

2:10 am

lol mel

2:11 am

I'd best be off to bed. Night all

2:12 am

g'night ruru

2:12 am

nite ruru

2:12 am

g'night ru

2:12 am

sure seems to me a 13 year old now days would have a lot of trouble having a baby, our bodies have aged in that sense, 200 years ago it was more common to have babies young, since our lifespans were much shorter, but if I remember correctly they say 13 year olds back then were like 18 year olds now days

2:12 am

*waves bye*

2:13 am

nini Ruru sweet dreams

2:13 am

interesting, mel

2:14 am

I know girls are having their periods a lot younger than in my day..many are 9 years old now.

2:14 am

I think that has to do with all the hormones in food, I think I may have read about that somewhere

2:15 am

fake hormones that is that the farmers etc put in the feed

2:16 am

those are pasturized hormones though.

2:17 am

poor ruru -- he can't help it

2:17 am

*giggle*

2:17 am

Today, little girls are made up of more than just sugar, spice, and everything nice. These girls of the twenty-first century are maturing earlier than last generation's children, and something is very different about their womanly physical attributes and behavior. Could there be a food link to this mystery?

2:18 am

go read this, http://www.health101.org/art_Milk_and_ Girls.htm

2:20 am

There is also the problem of people flushing pills...and the hormones staying in the water supply from that

2:21 am

that article is about breast cancer but it also coreelates with what we have been talking about

2:21 am

I heard about a way to dispose of pills -- crush them and mix them in with coffee grounds and then put the lot in the garbage

2:22 am

that's a good idea jilli

2:23 am

I heard that too Jilli, and that is what I have been doing, some I return to the pharmacy as well

2:23 am

oh yes, mel, that too

2:25 am

brb time to close some windows it has finally cooled off a bit

2:27 am

we had our first really summery day today -- but a week or so of cloud is predicted, with cooler temps :-(

2:27 am

wow!It has been in the 90 degrees here!

2:29 am

94 here in springfield oregon was miserable I do not have air conditioning so I bought Ice blocks and put them in front of my fans to help cool the air

2:29 am

our little corner of the continent has had a chilly, wet spring with only a few sunny days scattered sparsely between the clouds.

2:29 am

good idea meliae! and drink plenty of water,too!

2:30 am

And spring has extended way into "summer" while everyone else is roasting.

2:30 am

and hubby's garden is suffering for it, jilli - everything is late

2:31 am

I was dehydrated a week ago, and collapsed..It was a 92 degree day!

2:32 am

that would be frightening robbie

2:32 am

we had that too Jilli, it rained and rained, all the crops are late, the cherries split from the rain. A lot of the farmers are going to have a rough go at it this year.

2:33 am

Where are you, mel?

2:33 am

I drink piles of liquids I am addicted to having a drink of some kind at all times, usually water, but drink a lot of juices as well.

2:34 am

Springfield Oregon, willamette valley, it is south of Portland Oregon

2:34 am

It was flosey..an ambulance took me to the hospital!My head still hurts from where i hit it when I fell.

back... darn phone calls! sorry

2:34 am

it was pleasant! am seeing a girlfriend tomorrow arvo and making her some dinner to take home for the family

she is clear of breast cancer for 12 weeks now and returned to work, so helping out where I can with food that she likes!

2:37 am

wow -- that's a pretty nice thing to do, mrp!

2:38 am

that's great mrp

2:38 am

The Prick's wife has left him! She is no where to be seen and has moved out of the home

2:40 am

2:40 am

2:40 am

2:42 am

2:42 am

the first one is correct mel

2:43 am

camisole

camisol?? in a sentence??

is that an umberalla?

umbrella... even

2:43 am

it is underclothing

oh, not a parasole

2:44 am

you would wear a camisole under a blouse when wearing slacks

2:44 am

parasol

2:45 am

it hides your bra under a thin blouse like 1/2 a slip

thanks jilli!

lucky ruuster isn't here....

2:45 am

or some have built in bras

2:45 am

ha! he prolly is spying on us girls

2:46 am

My son said he doesn't email me much because I might correct his spelling :-(

oh jilli!! that is just meanie beanie talk!

2:46 am

I thought so too

how come timtam isn't a word!! it is in the grid and it is a word!!

2:47 am

trademark, I guess

2:47 am

lots of phantoms as well as words that look like they should be words in this grid

jilli, it is the meaning of 'heavenly biscuit'! LOL

2:49 am

2:49 am

the evil man in norway spent over half a million dollars preparing for his murderous spree?? holy moly!!

I don't know how Oslo is coping... to be attacked by one of their own.

4:11 am

good morning all

4:12 am

Hi Sprite - I was just wondering if there was anybody here

4:12 am

just arrived :) How are you doing?

4:13 am

just arrived too - second visit iof the day - and this grid is one of the more difficult variety

4:13 am

but at least the sun is shining today

4:14 am

sun is good. Was wondering about the grid indeed, not the usual seeing-more-words-than-I can-type start!

4:15 am

i've got to 80 and have listed - I don;t usually do that until at least half way

4:15 am

hey lady

4:15 am

Hi Herin

How are you all?

4:16 am

tired still, but otherwise fairly ok. You?

4:16 am

I am fine herin - and you?

Tired and my head hurts and I should be getting with the back.

room

4:17 am

getting with the back room?

That was tiding up and sorting the back room. Sorry

4:18 am

back room can wait if you don't feel well. Take some rest, hun

I was just on the phone discussing how I managed to brake my pc

4:19 am

guess it's fixed now as you're here with us?

It is broken but still works. It is just kind of hanging there. Not sure if I will be upgrading in a few months or just buying it outright.

Sprite I am taking it easy

4:20 am

good :)

We used a computer program last night to sort out the back room except someone has mismeasured

Glant I seem to have broken one side of the mouse button. It is sitting like a chair with a short leg

4:22 am

what are you having done herin?

4:23 am

at home I have been using the same mouse for over 15 years now.

Just putting in new shelves

Sprite do you play pc computer games?

4:24 am

new mice are very cheap these days - even infra red and usb ones

4:24 am

i broke the mouse button on my netbook because i played too much pc games

Yes they are but this is inbuilt and the problem is I ahve seemed to broken the usb's too

4:24 am

I know, but I always have trouble replacing something that isn't broken

4:24 am

so i had to buy a mouse to carry on LOL

4:24 am

yes I play wow and GW, lady

4:25 am

me too, why does everybody think thye need new things all the time?

4:25 am

lol Glant, that fanatic huh!

This is why my button is broken. Too many hit and hit and hit again games

4:25 am

addicted :-)

Glan talking to me who doesn't get a new mobile until it dies completly

sorry about my spelling

4:27 am

I seem to have a gentle hand. My aswd buttons don't go bad either, although on my laptop the letters themselves had vanished.

I don't

4:29 am

me neither

And I turned off a tv show last night because of blatant waste

4:30 am

had a new computer built a couple of years ago... laptop had died completely. But moved my mouse from laptop to new puter.

4:30 am

I've pretty much given uip on TV - I justy watch my favourite shows - about 4 a week - on BBC iPlayer

4:30 am

can you get BBC iPlayer if you're not in the UK?

4:31 am

I watch dvds when I want to watch tv.

4:32 am

I don't know

4:34 am

good heavens, I have 75 words found, 151 left and it feels and plays like I should only need about 30 more. Slow grid!

4:35 am

have 102 now - and slogging through

4:36 am

glad I am not the only one, grin\

4:36 am

just remembered that those bison/cow crosses can be spelt with both single T or double T

4:38 am

thanks Glant

4:38 am

i was stuck on the last ca7 & ca8 for ages until that crossed my mind lOL

4:39 am

didn't have them at all, so that gave me 4

Does that have the male ending ?

4:40 am

no, the buff- ending

THe reeds

My bad that is even a word. I wonder what they taste like

4:42 am

like most beef, probably

I wonder if they produce a good milk too

4:43 am

no idea, but probably

4:44 am

I will never understand why hit + male isn't valid. As in rent-a-killer.

Is it hyphenated?

4:45 am

me neither

4:45 am

nor why enable doesn't recognise Santa

4:45 am

Santa needs a capital, that might be the reason?

O gosh I just found out my friend is going to be an uncle again

4:46 am

always nice

Not with this person. She is an idiot

4:46 am

doh! just found the volcano

Put it nicely

4:47 am

hold on... your friend, who is going to be an uncle, is a girl??

4:47 am

good job Glant (and plural)

4:47 am

well, enable recognises so many spanish words that i thought santa might sneak through even if enable doesn't believe in Father Christmas LOL

O sorry. He is nice. The person having the kid is not so much

4:48 am

lol Glant, it should, shouldn't it!

4:48 am

ah sorry lady, I was a bit slow. Well, good for the baby that at least there is a nice uncle.

Does that make sense?

4:48 am

yes it does

Sorry. I am failing at multi tasking

4:51 am

if I don't understand you, it doesn't mean you are failing... just means I am slow ;)

I am trying to eat pizza andI swear it is a big thig

4:52 am

just finished my first coffee, haven't had breakie yet, am starting to drool when you say pizza.

create a breaky pizza

4:53 am

i was so lazy this morning that for breakfast I had the potato and cauliflower curry i made last night to have for dinner this evening - because i could just micowave it

4:53 am

I am very bad when it comes to creating food. I'd rather not eat than making something. will learn one day though ;)

4:54 am

*drools again* Sounds lovely, Glant!

4:54 am

it was quite nice but now I have the problem of what to have for dinner tonight!

Breakfast cereal? Glant

4:55 am

ROFLMA - good plan Herion

4:55 am

*Herin

4:56 am

argh yes. How about iceberg salad, covered with pasta, with sweet pepper baked with black pepper. Top off with smoked salmon snippets.

Well if you have one way why not the other

O drool Sprite

4:57 am

oh sprite, i may even have all the ingredients for that - thanks!

4:57 am

very tasty, and very easy and quick to make

4:57 am

have you ever baked a sweet red pepper with one or two cherry tomatoes inside, a spoonful of olive oil, and crushed garlic clove and a chopped anchovy - it tastes divine

4:58 am

cut the peppers and cherry tomatoes in half

4:58 am

o that sounds delicious!

4:59 am

bake several in a dish and serve with bread to mop the juices up - makes a great starter or light meal

4:59 am

you'll have to make that next time I come Glan..sounds delish :)

Can't someone cook for me

4:59 am

morning all

4:59 am

5:01 am

yuck ....never could understand how anyone could eat those

5:01 am

91 left for me sprite - you're catching up fast

5:01 am

must confess I don't like any organ food. No brains, kidneys, liver etc. Just plain muscle for me please.

5:01 am

I am stuck on the Js

5:02 am

ah great...I've just sent you backgrounds and some stabilisers

5:02 am

I've just started

5:02 am

I'm fine with heart and kidney, don;t like the taste or texture of liver

Was raised on Liver and bacon but brains ewww ewww

5:02 am

5:02 am

it's a slow gid kallia

5:02 am

yes just off today - and the next few mondays - need a day at home alone each week LOL

5:02 am

Glant, I only have the one 8 you clued, and only 3 of the 7s! Not really catching up, just getting the small ones out of the way, it seems.

5:03 am

oh well, will do some art in a few minutes

5:03 am

I love a day at home alone. Especially when the food is already prepared, lol.

5:03 am

thats good...don't let him catch on though !

5:03 am

most of the long words are PR

5:04 am

ok thank you

5:04 am

I won't, but as he's off every friday I can't take Fridays which would be myh preference

5:04 am

I thought you had the elegant teapot out this morning...lol

is the 9 a PR?

5:04 am

there are at least 8 PRs, I have 5 but not the long ones in the middle LOL

5:05 am

yes, it follows a PR8

Thanks

5:05 am

that gave me the 8/9 combo, thanks

Thank yo

5:09 am

Not the pims

5:10 am

5:10 am

oh yes the pimms - it is lovely in summer

5:10 am

I have some here, haven't indulged since the last time ;)

Why do they keep showing the fried brains on tv. It is so yuk

5:11 am

you need to click the 'most recent' button at the top of FB Kallia

5:11 am

*gently points lady to the channel changer or even the OFF button*

5:12 am

are you m orbidly fascinated herin?

But the other food is yummy.

5:12 am

just turn it off if you don't like it LOL

5:12 am

thanks Glan..my little brain worked that out eventually lol

5:14 am

5:15 am

*poof*

5:15 am

5:20 am

87 left, back in a few for the rest, need something to eat

5:20 am

bye sprite

5:26 am

back already :)

5:26 am

that was quick :)

5:26 am

some crackers with cheese... even put a wash into the machine.

5:27 am

mine was done really early today....love it hanging and blowing in the breeze

5:28 am

am at our vacation place... have a washing machine and a drier I can use. It is raining here, so I dry with the machine. At home, I love to have the bed linen out!

5:29 am

it's lovely here today, how long are you away for? hope the weather improves for you

5:30 am

my love and I came here a week ago, went back on saturday to pick up our kids from summer camp. We will go home next week on Tuesday.

5:30 am

nice weather would be good, but even without that, it is still a change in place and pace. We are enjoying ourselves.

5:33 am

that's a nice break then sprite. And really good that you had time alone....

5:34 am

yes, we needed that. Kids are not in the easiest phase, lol, at 13 and 15. It is nice to have a break... I have my sense of humour back, which is the only way for me to handle two adolescents in da house ;)

5:35 am

oh yes, that age can be full of pitfalls ....boys in particular start to grunt in response to any thing!

5:36 am

oh exactly! He comes back from camp, I ask how it was... he grunts: "Boring!" Then, later, I say he won't go again, of course... and he wants to know where did I get that stupid idea from, because it was fun.

5:37 am

lol....been there....so frustrating

5:37 am

isn't it just, lol.

5:38 am

ok thats it for me for now...nbt, and over half way.

5:38 am

bye sprite, have a lovely day :)

5:39 am

wow Kallia, wtg! Have a lovely day too :)

5:39 am

thanks...art calls :)

5:40 am

enjoy! May you find inspiration along with the perspiration ;)

5:52 am

morning, all!

5:52 am

hey uusue :)

5:54 am

beautiful picture, uusue

evening all :) sprite, usue, kali et al :)

5:58 am

hey mrP :)

6:00 am

hello everybody

6:00 am

hi rubyfoo :)

hi ruby :)

6:00 am

yay for Cadel, mrp! Is it a national holiday?

6:00 am

... Nothing but Australian wine today, right?

6:01 am

I am re-connected but poor husband isn't yet. I begged the phone company and another tech guy will come tomorrow and hopefully, he'll be fixed up

6:01 am

a good book is all he needs ;) Hi doseffing

it has been suggested! but alas no!

6:01 am

dosef: and Ryder was on the winning team

aussie wine all round! cheers!

6:01 am

... morning

hi dos!

6:02 am

... put his picture on my icon ... typical Canadian ... celebrating having helped someone else win ...

6:02 am

I really liked the guy who won.

6:03 am

I was rooting for him all the way, never liked Andy Schleck, no personality

6:03 am

the Aussie guy I mean

it was wonderful to see him win!

6:04 am

and I cried when he did

oh ruby! :))

6:05 am

as for Ryder, I think he'll be important in the future and riding for Thor Hushovd and such a great team was very important for his career

6:05 am

I am not into watching sports, but I happened to see him win. Beautiful style, modest and kind guy. Great legs too ;)

6:05 am

yes he touched me too.

6:06 am

... maybe he'll figure out to ride at the front next year and not lose 25 minutes to the leaders ...

6:06 am

that's funny about the legs; I only notice that they all shave their legs

6:07 am

astir

6:07 am

ok, hi again, sprite, doseffing, ruby, mrp! Was off updating the NIU physics facebook page...

6:07 am

{{sue}}

6:07 am

hi all *fingers crossed that computer healed itself*

6:07 am

well I can't help it, I love to watch beautiful men. Bad sprite ;)

6:07 am

wb uusue!

6:07 am

6:09 am

6:10 am

bye dose!

6:11 am

good job, jmc

some of the ma's are not working for me

first ma6 please?

6:13 am

sorry hun, not there yet.

only ma6 i guess LOL

6:13 am

so the new computer has in fact healed itself? (In my experience, rebooting can work wonders)

6:14 am

i didn't even reboot -- i just hibernated and went to bed

6:14 am

found one, mrP. Ma + not a few + vowel.

ah, got it, thanks sprite

6:15 am

yvw, and thanks, grin

6:15 am

thx, sprite! Interesting way of making a word plural...

6:15 am

yeah indeed

6:16 am

still looking for it -- duh

6:16 am

ty sprite

6:17 am

it doesn't take majure as in force majure? am i misspelling again?

6:18 am

majeur.

6:19 am

ah i am misspelling again ty sprite

6:19 am

french ending... always confusing ;)

6:19 am

oh i am easily confused by spelling ;-)

6:19 am

and enable won't accept it, darn thing

6:20 am

bad enable

6:20 am

beautiful rose, btw!

6:20 am

i was so proud for finding it (even if i did misspell it)

6:20 am

you should be. Very well spotted.

6:21 am

ty complete stolen off the internet--could find my photos of my roses

6:21 am

*couldn't

6:21 am

it is very beautiful

6:23 am

stats for the E please

6:23 am

errrr you mean all E words?

excuse me! is J'Lo heading for 9 marriages?? 'they went into the marriages with the temptations that exist, and had a grand plan' ????

6:23 am

oh no sorry lo** focus

6:24 am

just one stat from the E in the last column please

6:24 am

mrP, hun, you totally lo4 me!

6:24 am

at the same time mr p?

6:24 am

ed4/5 and 6/21, having to do with making texts ok

6:24 am

9? you're kidding, right?

my father has an hungarian saying for people that marry several times.... 'whores'

6:25 am

ty sprite

6:25 am

ty sprite!

think that it is ok to have many partners in their life, but marry to make it 'ok' to everyone else

6:25 am

and plural of the ed4/5, of course...

6:26 am

or Liz Taylor wilding Burton Fisher Burton and what's-his-name

6:26 am

how many did elizbeth taylor have?

8 or 9 i think

6:26 am

she had at least 5 if you count Richard Burton twice

6:26 am

I think it is easy to judge, harder to understand. I don't think I can judge their choices, because I don't know enough about themselves.

la

6:26 am

lol, thanks uusue! How could I miss that one.

6:27 am

la to you no no

6:27 am

hi nono

6:27 am

hi Nanette, la to you too :)

6:27 am

snap, sprite!

indeed sprite, but they give interviews that make little sense to me... 'we live day by day, week by week, month by month... to make our relationship ours'... bulls##t

hi nono!

6:28 am

well i have had more than that number sexual partners and i think they just married all of them rather than have a relationship without the benefit of marriage

6:28 am

whose else relationship would it be?

6:28 am

don't know if that is bullshit, it may be the way they feel about it.

exactly jmc!

6:29 am

what i find is the things we say to our loved ones are incredibly hokey but we don't get quoted by the press

6:29 am

could be a language thing too. Some things sound weird in translation.

6:29 am

hi, nono!

6:29 am

j'lo speaks english

6:30 am

you think calling your dog "poopy" is weird?

6:30 am

ah ok. Didn't sound english to me, her name, lol

6:30 am

depends on where the dog just pooped, I think :-)

i tell my husband the truth... every single time... 'you are so p*&sing me off and I will hurt you in .02 of a second if you continue down this path'... we then sort it out, yelling or heads together in solace...

6:30 am

haha sprite

6:30 am

wellllll yes it sounds weird, rubyfoo, but hey, people call their dogs give their dogs even weirder names.

6:30 am

I once met Marc Anthony on a plane going to Miami and I had never heard of him. He was miffed that I hadn't; it was just before he was in Capeman, Paul Simon's failed musical

6:31 am

many people call their dogs (and children) poopy

6:31 am

in dutch it is an endearment, btw. "Je bent een poepie" = you are a doll, a sweetheart.

ruby, he is a walking drugged skeleton... I would think that having children would have settled him, but seems it got worse

6:31 am

and I think it sounds like Ruby to her anyway, at least she doesn't act insulted

I call my children many things! just not infront of them! LOL

6:32 am

I like poepie!! very cute word

6:32 am

<--- is happy she has no idea who Marc Anthony is

I wouldn't know this Marc Anthony if I tripped over his shadow!

6:32 am

haha i called my son bubbala and my staff thought i was calling him a swear word

6:32 am

my love and I often use endearments, or words that have become endearments even though other people wouldn't think so. Nothing wrong with that.

6:32 am

he's a popular singer but not in my shtetl

poopsie is a cute word!

6:33 am

i dont like marc anthony himself but he has a lovely voice....very sexy

6:33 am

i thought marc anthony hung out with cleopatra

6:33 am

maybe she was his first wife! hahah

6:33 am

hi carlee

6:33 am

my husband and i called each other counselor as endearments

i think J Lo thought she was Cleopatra with that ghoul around

6:33 am

hi carlee

6:33 am

I will say again: easy to judge. Hard to judge fairly though... you cannot tell about a man's walk unless you have been in his shoes.

hi carlee!! :)) **hugs**

6:34 am

why does that NOt surprise me JMC

6:34 am

hey carlee :)

6:34 am

((MRP)) huggles

6:34 am

I like that, jmc :)

6:34 am

exactly sprite...

6:34 am

haha he was a cutey

we call eachother honey, sweetie, darling, babe, cutie.... and then there is the other side... won't repeat those here!

6:34 am

morning, carlee!

6:34 am

and his voice is terribly sexy...( hmmmm...that voice first thing in the morning..yeesh....)

huggles!! oh that is a cute word!! thanks carlee

6:35 am

when I met MA, he was just ordinary looking, not very skinny, but it is quite a while ago

6:35 am

and before he married J'Lo

6:36 am

you know uu i am liking this new computer it is noticeably faster

i don't know about her taste in men... but Ben Affleck?? wtf

6:36 am

6:43 am

esprit you icon reminds me of a photo i took in kenya of a giraffe up close and personal

6:44 am

i thought i would have to reinstall it but i was hoping the exec file would cross over

I loved seeing giraffes wandering around free

6:44 am

ok, I am going to do a tiny bit of exercise, first time in several days as I am finally feeling better. bbs.

6:44 am

8:43 am

<---picturing Mr and Mrs Crossy dancing in the rain - how sweet - good morning everyone

8:50 am

Hi River

8:51 am

good morning riverdance...we were so excitied about the rain that we did not wear shoes and had muddy feet

8:51 am

only here for a few minutes - back from vacation and somehow a tornado went off on my desk

8:51 am

morning again, all!! We have finally cooled off a little and it is less humid to boot! Yay!

8:52 am

howdey sue

8:52 am

no rain here yet - got home from vacation and found tomato and potato plants pretty wilted and falling over.

8:52 am

definately cooler here but no rain yet.

8:53 am

I heard we hit 103 here on Friday - I was up in northern Maine on a lake so it didnt feel that warm there

8:53 am

the story of our late spring and summer has been: way too much rain; really hot and really dry; way too much rain. At least today it is sunny, not too hot, and not raining.

8:54 am

we peaked on thurs just past...47c with humidex.we are just not equipped to handle that kind of heat

8:54 am

we had a very rainy June and a very hot and dry July - what will

8:54 am

what will August bring???

8:54 am

and hi to river, crossy, annie, kje, and judi

8:55 am

boss is calling - must go - see you all later...

8:55 am

bye, river!

8:55 am

and that is about where we peaked on the heat index as well, crossy, really miserable

8:57 am

september is crossys favorite month here.the maples change their leaves to a rainbow of colour,the air is crips of the bay and the horizon so clear over the water you can see forever.a light sweater in the morning,tied around your waist by lunch time.my beloveds long hair dancing in the air with the wind caressing roses on her cheeks. everything is fresh again

8:57 am

crisp

8:58 am

over

8:58 am

wow

8:58 am

damn damn typos

8:58 am

just curious cross, but do you talk about yourself in the 3rd person in real life also

8:58 am

i do it here only to amuse and make people smile

8:58 am

late september and early october are likethat here, crossy, really nice

8:59 am

ah

9:00 am

ah, mid Arizona and my love is sweating his butt off with the sun beating upon his balding brow. His less than youthful skin baked to a breathtaking brown.

9:01 am

lol

9:04 am

saw a bunch of young ladies at work the other day.fresh of the beach,tourist fodder if you will.baked to a fine golden brown.kind of like fine english saddle lether.thought of offering them the phone number for the cancer centre now,but i am sure they will find it themselves in ten years or so

9:04 am

any of you ever try this cheese - bruno uusto? from finland

9:05 am

here my son refers to the "orange people" - the ones with the spray-on tans :-)

9:05 am

now those are funny as heck sue!

9:05 am

and i haven't, kje, but if it is cheese it must be good (IMHO of course)

9:05 am

cannot say that i have kje

9:06 am

crossy and the mrs had some tasty havarti with herbs last night:)

9:06 am

the cheese guy recommended it - it doesn't melt, you can grill it. Package said to try with maple syrup

9:06 am

a bright sunny good morning to you all :)

9:06 am

so I did... quite good

9:06 am

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

Any clue for ji4?

9:10 am

belief in j? ; )

9:10 am

hahaha - nice way to put it, kje ;-)

9:11 am

Did not get the clue. Something else?

9:12 am

j + ending meaning "belief in", such as Catholic***

9:12 am

a belief in god is de*** -- a belief in j is j***

9:12 am

j + ending meaning belief

9:12 am

athe***

Got it! Tx kje

10:36 am

ty une

10:36 am

then ca7 and 8 same word with a double cons

10:36 am

and catman still isn't there!

10:36 am

yw -- in the continuing guessing game of "what foreign words will enable accept" lOL

10:37 am

obviously the first ca 6 is not the spanish shirt!

10:38 am

sorry, referring to the first 6 and 7, combo

10:38 am

indeed LOL

10:38 am

... but it sure looks like one

10:38 am

not familiar with spanish shirt but guess I monkeyed it

10:38 am

wish I could speak spanish -- so many spanish words in enable

10:39 am

Sears puts out many in a year, minus last letter

10:39 am

monkeyed them though

10:40 am

just the first 2 ji's to go

10:40 am

*quick shout to flosey - recipe is in my profile*

10:40 am

I suppose they are spanish as well

10:40 am

great clue, flosey!

10:40 am

it's a vegetable nan

10:40 am

pronounced as if starting with H

10:40 am

tyty welki

10:40 am

I didn't know Sears still published a CA7

10:41 am

online . . .

10:41 am

lol. I thought it was a fruit? Tastes like a cross between a potato and an apple.

10:41 am

not a vegetable I've ever used then

10:42 am

Rhymes with what you wear to bed Nan

10:42 am

they do up here Molly

10:43 am

They might here too Flosey, I just haven't seen one in years. I kind of avoid Sears if at all possible.

10:45 am

that gave me 5 letters!

10:46 am

ah -- had to stick another consonant in there! -- ty

10:46 am

*!* ta boom *!* --- thank you for the help :)

10:47 am

will have to look for the ji 7 when we get south this winter -- have never seen any here. How do you cook them? or are they eaten raw? and what do they look like?

10:49 am

The sears store in the states is not the same as the one here, which used to be Simpson-Sears rather than Sears-Robuck. Much better quality merchandise than the US Sears.

10:50 am

can anyone tell me more about the ji 7 before I leave? guess I could always google it!

10:50 am

anyone want clues?

10:52 am

ah -- looks like and cooked like a turnip

10:53 am

i've always been served ji7 in a salad . . . kinda like a radish

10:54 am

ty une -- as I said, I will try it when I can find some.

10:54 am

in the States, you can buy them at Whole Foods :-)

10:54 am

ok . . . BBL *poof*

10:55 am

Don't know if there is a whole foods in Palm Desert, but lots of spanish grocers!

Way to go Glant!

11:24 am

congrats, Giant! Hi Babblers

11:24 am

well, back to the housework - happy babbling - see you all tomorrow

11:27 am

hi all

11:27 am

whoo hoo glan

11:27 am

and hello snuffy!

11:27 am

hi jmc (-:

11:29 am

quiet in the chat room - I hear Babble brains whirring

11:31 am

No whirring here...just kind of a bump, thump, bump, fisssssss.

hands Molly a can of 3 in 1 oil...

good morning everyone... had to make my raspberry jam before I dared to play Babble .

11:34 am

hi diane - do you have raspberry plants?

we used to have a large patch but dug them out when we built the new fence. Luckily we have friends who don't pick theirs but are willing to share in exchange for a few jars of jam ! Hi Aloy :-)

11:35 am

nice arrangement!

we have enough of our own though, to put on ice cream, etc.

11:39 am

Thunder booming, YAY, we need some rain.

11:40 am

clue for ji 4/10 please??

11:40 am

Ooo, fresh raspberry jam. Nothing better.

11:40 am

ji4/10...slang word for semen.

11:41 am

... the clue from early this morning was ... "a person who believes in j's"

I'd gladly send you some... we had rain all last week but this week looks sunnier! wish I could share the jam too

11:42 am

ty molly - should have seen that. :-)

11:42 am

and ty dos

11:42 am

That would not be a person who believes in j's. It would be the religion or practice of believing in j's.

11:43 am

... yes ... thanks Diane ... it finally got to here this morning ... watered the lawn for an hour yesterday evening ... so we naturally got six hours of rain and thunder this morning

and probably washed your car too !! ... shoulda done it sooner lol

11:44 am

... not me ... neighbour did though

combined efforts worked !

11:45 am

Hilarious comment from a nun on a TV show...Bars are like Mass...with too much wine, and everyone praying to get laid.

11:45 am

... you're right ... a believing in the letter j would be ji4/10 ... the person doing it would be a ji 4/9 and as that word doesn't exist ... we can assume it is a false belief

11:46 am

from a real nun? wow

11:46 am

No Aloy, a character playing a nun.

11:46 am

LOL.. am gullible

jire

sorry.. not a word but I'm already in the pb for raspberry _ _ _

11:48 am

hi again, all!

hi sue :-)

11:48 am

in my office, have just met with my student who is making up an incomplete from the spring semester

11:49 am

and hi, diane :-)

11:49 am

hi sue

11:49 am

Interesting show "The Booth At The End" on hulu.com. People come to a man who can "get things" for them and agree to do "a task" (provided by him) to get what they want. These tasks are often very difficult/illegal/immoral things. It's an interesting study about the lengths people will go to, to get what they "really want".

11:50 am

at

11:50 am

Diane, I don't think you are PB bound for words that are not playable. : )

11:55 am

FW.. sending me off to my chores.. thanks for the company all, see you next grid.. (-:

1:00 pm

IF the revamped babble EVER comes about,i hope drg feeds a few dictionaries at it

1:05 pm

if i ruled babble land i would only make a couple of changes--the first one would be a new dictionary

No jmc, I think that was said.

Wow, we just had 20 solid minutes of pouring rain. I can almost hear the grass and plants breathing sighs of relief.

2:27 pm

Lucky!

2:27 pm

2:27 pm

That should only happen here Molly

Now that's MY kap.

What a drip.

2:33 pm

Cripes! I never use that word!

2:34 pm

hahaha

2:34 pm

he he

I think words actually get lodged in my brain after they come up in the grid...

2:34 pm

its funny how i never use a word until it is in the grid and then i have to think of a way around it

I think it's like priming the pump.

I am such a delightful person. What's to eat in the PB?

2:35 pm

b'day cake

I am such a delightful person. What's to eat in the PB?

*Hangs head in shame that I did not detect whining Kap impersonator*

Feh.

Vivian Alemaine is up to no good, Molly.

Of course you can

2:50 pm

all the time time time

2:50 pm

VIviene is always up to no good. That is what makes her such a delicious bad girl.

2:52 pm

Red, red, whine...go to my head...

are you guys being mean?

2:52 pm

a taste of honeeeeeeey, tasting much sweeter than whine. . .

2:53 pm

oh no sorry kap if you think that! not my intent at all

I am of enormously sensitive sensibility

2:54 pm

who is Viviene? hello all

2:54 pm

you just got me thinking about some advice i give to soldiers about using the whine whine whine, all the time time time technique and then i got carried away

2:54 pm

*hangs head in shame*

Vivian Alemaine is on a soap

2:54 pm

*Pats Kap delicately and lets her know that we joke all in good fun*

2:54 pm

*hands kap a lavender pillow*

2:54 pm

ok, Kap, do not watch soaps

It's ok jmc, a little bit fragile today

2:54 pm

lavender is soothing

2:55 pm

I love lavender

soaps are an acquired taste.

2:55 pm

what's the matter Kap?

2:55 pm

well i will behave then kap--the la** thing i want to do is make someone feel bad

2:55 pm

*Sprinkes sparkly feel-good pixie dust all around Kap's general vicinity*

2:56 pm

I do watch Desparate Housewives and Greys Anatomy and I guess they are soaps too but on at night

2:56 pm

currently i am predicting that i will be down to my final 3 words before i get nbt

2:56 pm

I'm off to the races, bbl.

2:57 pm

bye kap hope i did not drive you away with my sillyness

2:57 pm

i am missing the i in the la** column peri

2:58 pm

*Hangs head in shame again. I thought we were being funny.*

2:58 pm

im5/14 it is a plural, enable does not accept the singular. a babblet

2:58 pm

(me too molly--that is the danger)

2:58 pm

you two are troublemakers :)

2:58 pm

i + ***a Mia

2:59 pm

ty peri nbt

2:59 pm

i kept trying the singular

2:59 pm

yay for jmc

2:59 pm

which now works of course

3:00 pm

so it does, it did not earlier. I am confused

3:00 pm

ty jmc

3:00 pm

that seems to happen from time to time for no apparent reason

3:01 pm

well, I for one, do not like when that happens. it confuses me

3:01 pm

do you have the im7?

3:02 pm

I am a spouse I guess

3:02 pm

nope

3:02 pm

that's a clue peri

3:02 pm

thought so but not getting it ruru

3:03 pm

3:04 pm

religious leader?

3:04 pm

im4 +

3:04 pm

which i are you talking about ruru

3:04 pm

ty ru, that is a new word for me

ty ru I don't think my monkey would have gotten that

3:08 pm

*clock ticking* 110 minutes for i leave work

3:09 pm

*before

3:09 pm

Sounds like the last days are tedious for you JMC.

3:09 pm

ji6?

3:10 pm

well there is very little for me to do--i can't start any projects and i can't really spend any money so i sit and answer a few phone calls and a few emails...

3:10 pm

tomorrow will be better as i will be on the road one la** time

3:10 pm

ji + you ***p out in a tent + vowel

3:10 pm

ty Molly

3:10 pm

jmc, can

3:10 pm

why can't you just leave?

3:11 pm

Job transition is tough on either end.

3:11 pm

because my staff likes me here

3:11 pm

i think she is scared out of her mind

3:11 pm

Ah, the staff is having a hard time cutting ties, of course.

3:12 pm

ok, and by she you mean your replacement?

3:12 pm

but i already told her she needs to write an appeal letter like la** week and she hasn't done anything

3:12 pm

what is an appeal letter. to tell everyone how appealing she is :)

3:12 pm

well i am -- in spite of appearances in the chog -- an easy going and helpful boss well liked by my employees i am happy to say

3:13 pm

an appeal letter is a letter appealing for you to send cash! lol

3:13 pm

oh, ok

3:13 pm

you don't ask for cash and you don't get any

3:13 pm

indeed, jmc

3:13 pm

so much for the image of jack boots and whips for the employees

3:14 pm

haha no i save them for you bubala

3:15 pm

what kind of computer did you get, jmc?

3:15 pm

it is actually one of the hardest thing for an exec dir to learn peri

3:15 pm

i got a dell

3:16 pm

Yay,I really like dells. I am on my 3rd one. did you get an all in one?

3:17 pm

*Adds kudos for Dells. They are good machines.*

3:18 pm

3:18 pm

ok,

3:20 pm

My fingers bloody with monkeying, anyone have a clue for ji 4/10?

3:20 pm

http://tinyurl.com/3c558db

3:20 pm

the religion of J

3:20 pm

haha jmc

3:22 pm

If there is a religion that starts with ji, has only four letters, and exists in this puzzle then I have never heard of it.

3:22 pm

47left, bbl

3:22 pm

take jmc's clue literally

3:22 pm

I hate this grid

3:22 pm

hate it

3:23 pm

I got that j4 on my first pass through the grid, but only because I have a much dirtier brain

3:25 pm

well i didn't know the slang definition until earlier today and i like my clue better

3:26 pm

good to keep one's mind out of the gutter

3:26 pm

I keep forgetting that this dictionary leans Brit. To the best of my knowledge no one in the US uses that word and I don't think the Brits have since Victorian days. Live and learn.

Molly... are you still around ??

3:33 pm

any one in babbleland spend much time at wikipedia?

There is another slang word for that, popular in the U.S. I guess, and whenever I'd try to enter it in Text Twist, it would disallow it and say banned word. .... learn something new every day !!

jmc, when I go to google, I often use the wikipedia links.

3:35 pm

Popping in to start the grid while dinner cooks. That word was fairly common while I was growing up (80's high school word).

3:35 pm

never heard of it myself 0:-)

the "j" word?? me neither

3:36 pm

i am looking for someone who has done some editing in wikipedia--was thinking about working on some of the articles connected with my organization

3:36 pm

Usually abbreviated...pronounced without the last letter. Ah, jmc..you were probably in better circles than I was. :)

3:36 pm

And diane.

some of them do need proofreading, as do many google sites.

3:37 pm

haha no i am sure not krista i went to the school on the "wrong side" of the tracks

3:38 pm

j 4 is common..

3:38 pm

That brought him out of the woodwork, lol.

can I say the word to which I was referring....?? Never knew it had slangy base connotations until playing Text Twist

3:39 pm

it's not somethin

to me it only meant saucily courageous.... the word is "spunk"

3:40 pm

it's not something you would verbally ejaculate however

LOL

3:41 pm

Ha, I knew that one. It's fairly common in England, I think, because Patrick thought Otis Spunkmeyer was a hilarious name (baked goods company).

3:41 pm

bet that one has JMC sperming.. er I mean squirming..

we don't use that word as such here in Canadian slang ! My American friends said "where have you been hiding" ??

3:41 pm

Oh dear, ruru.

ruru is being spunky..... using only MY definition of the word !!!!!

3:43 pm

just don't condom my behaviour

and true... lots of Brits played in my Text Twist chat room... they also knew !!

3:43 pm

Ok, corn on the cob is done. BFN. I always think of my German teacher who said the Germans view corn as hog feed. "oh well"

grrrrrrrrrroannnnnnnnnnn....

3:43 pm

LOLOL

but sharp there, ruru

3:44 pm

ha Ruru you missed the good chat last night after you left :P

3:44 pm

what was that?

3:45 pm

I will never tell ~grins~

3:45 pm

ohhhhhhhhh

3:45 pm

your name was mentioned tho, something along the lines of good thing Ruru isnt here lol

3:46 pm

4:21 pm

4:23 pm

Truly. It's such a distant memory now...

4:24 pm

Has TO been on recently?

4:25 pm

she was on a couple of days ago i know

4:26 pm

Ok. She was on last night. I should have been more specific. I meant today. It's ok, I'll email her.

4:53 pm

one who sits in court weighing the evidence, usually 12 of them

I've made 16 jars of raspberry jam and the last 8 just finished "pinging" me.... I can hear them from here have been counting... all sealed !!

4:54 pm

Ty for your confidence in me, lol. Ty for clues. Usually the quickest way for me to find a word is to ask for clue then I see it. :/

4:54 pm

Oh yum! Red or black?

4:54 pm

*Going to Diane's house. Bringing fresh baked bread.*

it's called "ask and SEE" syndrome !

red

4:55 pm

pick me up on the way, molly

Hey Molly... I found Jabberwocky done by my little county chorus and I ripped it to my computer. I could send it to you, however it's 4 MB in size

4:56 pm

*Makes a note to pick up some fine wine, then Dorens, then continue to Diane's house.*

4:56 pm

That's my favorite. I'll stow away in the trunk.

Hi Dorens

4:56 pm

i've got the wine molly, don't be silly. you've got the bread, she's got the jam. ok, what do you have to bring krista?

4:57 pm

Wet naps?

just thou

4:57 pm

*Makes a note to pick up some fine wine, then Dorens, then Krista (who doesn't have to stow away in the trunk), then continue to Diane's house*

4:57 pm

diane tonight is the book club where we'll discuss the tenderness of wolves.

4:58 pm

crossy has feshe cheese bread and cheese curds from the farm he can bring:) and of course a bottle of bacon vodka

4:58 pm

Oh, I get to ride up front! I saw you were reading that on Good Reads. Looks interesting. Did you like it?

I'm just about to start reading "The Help"... has anyone read it and enjoyed it ?

4:58 pm

they are all coming to my house... i am providing the (less than fine) wine. primitivo, in fact, which goes beautifully with pizza. bruschetta pizza, the best around. only pizza worth going off my diet.

speaking of "wolves" :-)

4:58 pm

i read it, didn't love it, but many people did

4:58 pm

LOVED it, Diane.

4:58 pm

I LOVED "The Help" Diane.

4:59 pm

Movie comes out soon, you know.

4:59 pm

yes, liked it very much krista... a very different type of "who-dunnit". we normally don't read that type in this group.

4:59 pm

Dorens, what didn't you like about it?

5:00 pm

Hello all...was lurking and saw "The Help", I loved it as well

great reviews... I'm sure I'll enjoy it as well.

5:00 pm

I have to read Olive Kitteridge for Sunday. The friend who lent me the book didn't like it. We'll see.

5:00 pm

i have led a very different life... worked in east orange for 15 years, was closely involved with a man from there.. spent lots of time in homes of "domestic workers" and know very well how they feel about white folks. perhaps that is part of it. also, just didn't feel that it was all that well written, but will make a good movie

5:00 pm

I'll put it on my list, Dorens.

5:01 pm

oh krista, that is the first person i have ever heard didn't love that book. thought it was one of the best ever!

5:01 pm

also very much loved people of the book and everything else geraldine brooks every wrote, so am just beginining caleb's crossing, but don't think i'll like it as much as the others.

5:01 pm

I did very much enjoy the last book i read though, state of wonder by ann patchett!

5:01 pm

Oh, good to hear that. I'll start it tonight.

Molly.... did you see my post about Jabberwocky ??

Molly.... did you see my post about Jabberwocky ??

4:56

oops a double post... sorry about that

5:03 pm

Our personal experiences certainly cast a shadow on everything, Dorens. Understanable.

5:03 pm

insert D

5:04 pm

what is it that everyone liked so much about the help?

Evening Babblers!

hi red

5:05 pm

hi red

5:05 pm

molly, krista? i am curious

love all the flower icons, I am off...

5:06 pm

Diane...mtjtoday@yahoo.com for the Jabberwocky

5:06 pm

Hm, I guess the sense of injustices addressed and exposed. We have all dealt with snooty people, regardless of race, so I liked that aspect. Also the historical context.

5:06 pm

Hey Red!

Hi, My Mom loved The Help. i have not read it yet.

5:07 pm

There were funny parts. I don't like reading dialect, though, but I understand why she used it.

got it Molly ! ... this is not one of our best but one that was fun to do ! and you said you'd like to hear those funny words set to music !

5:07 pm

ok. i see. that does make sense. i'm not sure why i didn't like it that much, really, other than not liking the writing style that much, My friend's daughter actually lives in Jackson now, and she had fun with it for that reason

5:07 pm

I am a sucker for a writer who builds good relationships in their story. I thought "The Help" had some great relationships built in it. The most charming was the relationship between Abeliene and May Mobley.

5:07 pm

Love your icon, red. Makes me long for the beach, though. Haven't been yet this summer.

been hot enough in your area for the beach Krista, at least as far as my Mom reports.

5:08 pm

got to run, folks... people coming in twenty three minutes and i'm not exactly ready. (we were supposed to meet on the beach, but it's raining, and i offered my house. now regretting the offer. later!

5:08 pm

Bye Dorens! Have fun.

5:08 pm

I'm also a writer by hobby, so I enjoyed the fact that Skeeter was a writer wannabe and Abeliene just wrote (her prayers) because it was in her nature.

5:09 pm

TOO hot for the beach for me. I'd have dried up not unlike a beached whale.

5:10 pm

It will be interesting to see how the movie is. They usually don't do books justice.

yes, I have not even been to the beach. but I have been using the pool regularly.

5:10 pm

How far are you?

about an hour.

5:11 pm

Nice.

Post surgery sitting to do things like drive, or sit kind of hurt after about 40 min, so I have been lazy....well not lazy, but not driving anywhere much.

5:12 pm

It must be very hard on you, being such an active person.

It was, but now I can use the ellipitical, and run in the pool and ride the bike and do almost everything in the weights room, the only thing is no running, so its OK...

5:14 pm

How long till running red?

2 months more of physical therapy.

5:15 pm

Ugh. Glad you're getting back to other things though!

5:15 pm

Oh, well that's good. I am not athletic but sitting too long drives me nuts (adhd). 4 months of bed rest when pregnant was awful.

Yes, it's been really strange.

I would think 4 mos of bedrest would be worse than this....I mean, I had to go and rehab the next day...

I'm just waiting for the pain to go away permanently...

5:18 pm

Hope it's soon!

Me too! The whole of PT and such has made me sort of a not nice person, but I do expect to be cleared to return to work this week...finally.

5:19 pm

That'll be great! Some return to normalcy...

yep. All good, plus, you know Tyson Gay?

5:20 pm

No...

the fastest man in American. He recently beat Usain Bolt in the 100 Meters...

Olympic star...

5:21 pm

it was hard, because I could only lie on my left side, and get up only to go to the bathroom...for 4 months...by the time I had the baby, I was so weak...PT made you into a grouch :)

He had the same surgery in July, so I am rehabbing along side him, but I think I scare him...

5:21 pm

oh yes...are you buddies? ;)

5:21 pm

why would you scare him?

He is extremely friendly, but I am extremely intimidated by him. I wonder which one of us will run first.

He is this super duper quiet guy. and I am sort of loud.

5:22 pm

I'm guessing he will. It's what he does!

Plus, I cried once in PT recently, and he sees that as what he has to look forward to.

5:22 pm

Yeah, me too. I can relate to the loudness!

I dunno, he is two months behind me...and Still on crutches, when I was at his point I was off the crutches...

5:23 pm

Well running's kinda his job...I imagine he has to be super careful to make sure he gets back to 100%

yes indeed, he had a much more well known surgeon as well...

I really admire him, because of the sportsmanship he showed at the Olympics when he lost to Usain Bolt, and the fact that he is like 1.5 feet shorter than him and still beat his pants off right before the surgery.

5:26 pm

clue for the tr8, plz?

anyway, must go get dinner...

nice to see you all...

5:28 pm

5:29 pm

6:46 pm

6:46 pm

The Barcolo Manufacturing Company of Buffalo, New York, started the American tradition of the office “coffee break.” In 1902 they offered free coffee to their employees in order to boost morale, as well as a few free minutes in which to enjoy it.

The Museum of Science and Industry is looking for someone to spend a month living at the museum, and Frank decided to apply!

7:49 pm

That's pretty cool. What are his chances?

7:49 pm

sounds like a bit of fun indeed

7:49 pm

unfortunately the applications were due today, and besides the written part required two 5x7 photos and a 1-minute video on DVD.

7:50 pm

May I please have a clue for pr8-50? Thanks

7:51 pm

So we got all that put together (after fighting with various bits of technology) and got on the road at 4 - only to run into terrible traffic on the Eisenhower (busy Chicago expressway) and didn't get to the museum until 6 (it closed at 5:30).

7:51 pm

pr 8 an apish mr. gore

7:52 pm

pr 8/50...pr*** donna + Grimms wrote fairy ***es

7:52 pm

But Frank went in anyway, found a security guard who got him to the right office, where there was a box labeled "month at the museum applications", so his application is in the box!

7:52 pm

Thanks much ruru and Molly

7:52 pm

9:01 pm

9:01 pm

I used to really like camping but I am now too old to sleep on the ground...

9:01 pm

i like hiking, but when it comes to sleeping, i want a bed and no bugs or animals near me

9:01 pm

Hiking during the day is fun -- but at night I want a shower and a real bed LOL

9:01 pm

i took advantage of that to collect tents from babyboomer has been campers to ship to haiti after the earthquake

9:01 pm

i have tried camping in a cabin, in a camper, in a tent and on the bare ground...all of them sucked! lol

9:02 pm

Lisa, except for the cabin option, I totally agree!

9:02 pm

oh,great idea,jmc!!

9:02 pm

it worked very well we shipped 30 tents

9:02 pm

great idea, jmc! :-)

9:03 pm

9:03 pm

I am going camping this weekend in a motorhome with a bed, a shower, TV, carpet, etc. lol

9:03 pm

only camping I ever did was to get my Girl Scout merit badges!

9:04 pm

the cabin i was in was with my youngest for cubscouts. No running water, a wood burning stove in teh middle of the room for heat and mice running around all night long! In teh middle of the night, I woke up and couldn't breathe because the smoke backed up too much in the cabin!

9:04 pm

nice setup, seaspray

9:04 pm

ewww Lisa

9:04 pm

haha last time i went camping i was the only woman on a boy scout event and i was used to rougher camping than any of the men

9:05 pm

yes, and we were in the cabin with about 30 campers, all sleepy eyed and led out into the cold in teh middle of the night...it sucked!!

9:05 pm

I have done the tent thing when kids were little, graduated to a camper, then a motorhome...so its either the motorhome or a motel for me

9:05 pm

ugh

9:05 pm

when i had the boys pick wild blueberrys to one of the fathers said: how do you know they are blueberries?

9:05 pm

hi all, tough grid for me today

9:12 pm

it's tough, period!

9:12 pm

argh me too...toughie...

9:12 pm

ji6/7?

9:12 pm

yes, it was a tough grid

9:13 pm

63 left but the worst is to come

9:13 pm

crunchy vegetable used in mexican cooking

9:13 pm

jmc, gotta a lawyer question for you...

9:13 pm

the j sounds like an h

9:13 pm

a mexican root vegetable shirl

9:13 pm

what lbd

9:13 pm

ji6/7 is a vegie

9:13 pm

thank you lisa

9:13 pm

or do you want to email me for privacy?

9:13 pm

80 :)

9:13 pm

who is normally the executor of a will?

9:13 pm

ty, je. i learned that root in vietnamese first, so i forget the spanish word sometimes

9:14 pm

the person named in the will gets first dibs

9:14 pm

whoever is so named, lbd

9:14 pm

what is it in vietnamese?

9:14 pm

i tried that veggie in a mexican restaurant dressed simply with lime juice, cilantro and hot sauce. It was amazing. i eat them all the time now.

9:14 pm

hmmm, and if one isn't named?

9:15 pm

gu cang

9:15 pm

i loves that ji vegie

9:15 pm

then whomever the court names but they usually look to the next of kin

9:15 pm

okay, so it wouldn't be the lawyer

9:15 pm

in VA, persons named in the will would share responsibility if there is a written will.

9:16 pm

well it can be the lawyer and many people like that system

9:16 pm

ugh, i'm hoping it's not the lawyer. he doesn't seem to think very highly of women, and he's a pompous ass too!

9:16 pm

sometimes there is no one else and the court will appoint a random lawyer

9:17 pm

well then a kin folk has to step up and say they will do it lbd

9:17 pm

are you sure no one was named in the will?

9:17 pm

okay, so my sisters and I can tell the lawyer who it will be?

9:18 pm

if no one was name, yes you can pretty much decide and the court will defer

9:18 pm

here's a PDF with a good summary of Montana probate, including execution of wills: http://tinyurl.com/3l5bdjh

9:18 pm

From what I've had my sister read to me, I don't think anyone has been designated as the executor. Not since my mom died.

9:18 pm

that person would file a petition in the court and the other sisters would sign papers agreeing to it

9:19 pm

when did your mom die?

9:19 pm

thanks, DC. but my dad is in Colorado. I'll be there thursday, and will be going over all the legal stuff with my sisters before I have to face the lawyer. they both refuse to talk to him

9:19 pm

my mom died 11 years ago.

9:19 pm

oh, fun.

9:19 pm

so recently then I am sorry

9:20 pm

WHAT!?!?!

9:20 pm

thanks, 2000 wasn't a good year.

9:20 pm

it is possible that your mom owned everything jointly with your mother and therefore there was no probate

9:21 pm

http://www.cobar.org/index.cfm/ID/2088 1 indicates that in CO, the court appoints the 'personal representative' to administer the will.

9:21 pm

in the alternative they owned everything in trust to avoid probate (not actually a good idea but was very popular for a while) and therefore no probate

9:21 pm

ca6/24?

9:21 pm

PR is the same as an executor/executrix -- just not as sexist

9:21 pm

spanish shirt

9:22 pm

ca + do re ** fa so l* ti do

9:22 pm

ahhhh, PR! i think then my oldest sister is the lucky one! she'll be so happy to hear that...NOT

9:23 pm

she is the PR for your mom?

9:23 pm

thx for the ca

9:23 pm

she can defer to someone else

9:23 pm

ty for CA, une

9:23 pm

yw

9:23 pm

I'll need to read the will, but I think it lists her as the PR for my Dad.

9:23 pm

mmm...im not getting the ca 6 clue :(

9:24 pm

ca + soy paste but change the last letter to another vowel

9:24 pm

lisa, see dawg's clue

9:24 pm

you should look as see who is listed second and if the lawyer is any good th***

9:25 pm

then if one of the other of you are listed the first sister can defer to the next one down the line

9:25 pm

ty lbd

9:25 pm

oh great, back to the peck order...i'll still probably be the one to get the honours.

9:25 pm

it sounds more difficult than it is

9:26 pm

well choose the sister who is good with details

9:26 pm

I was hoping you'd be able to clarify things, and you did! (((JMC)))

9:26 pm

with help from the DC choir! :-)

9:27 pm

11:45 pm

away from builder's white (more of a light gray) and to yellow and a light lavender (one wall of lavender)

sorry lady --

11:46 pm

Ooooooo go to ikeahacker. blogspot really awesome inspiration

11:47 pm

LOL that's where I got the light, lady!

By CHic

Opps that was ikeahacker.blogspot.com and signed by tina. Just two of my fac blogs at the moment

11:48 pm

very cool, lady!

I love the Iea one as it is such wonderful ideas. Problem here is ikea is too damn expensive with some items like the awesome paper light

11:51 pm

yes, some things are pretty expensive, but others are more affordable... I can only afford to shop there a couple times a year since I "save" so much money each time I go!

on the Hacker site someone coloured the paper lamp and it cost $80 USD but in aus it is $260 AUSD

11:53 pm

I did my office/craft room with stuff from ikea. It was a christmas present from hubby. the best part was, i went the week after christmas and got wonderful sale prices.

11:54 pm

well done, Luwanda!

Awwwwwwww Luw that is great. We just got 3 As Is chairs for $35 instead of $55 for our dinning room. One of the chairs though is slightly off centre which we can't work out

11:55 pm

I like the "as is" section, but of course when I go with a PURPOSE it never has what I actually need.

Stid we have items on our list at the moment

THe chairs we on the list

WHat the heck is that first MA 4 please I can't see it

11:57 pm

Never mind that was embarising

Thanks

11:58 pm
