ty mlf

geez. It sure helps if your fingers are over the right keys when you type the words in!

12:19 am

yw cyber

12:19 am

but nell thats no fun lol

It's no fun to type the words accurately?

12:20 am

nice friendly icon pic, neil :-)

oh thanks. I don't look negative enough though.

12:20 am

nell only sometimes

only sometimes what?

happens to me all the time neil on my new keyboards... spacing is not identical to my old ones ...just enough different I always get my fingers on the wrong keys, especially when I don't have much light...

12:21 am

i still need 7 for nbt

anyone find the 9?

12:21 am

dee me too sometimes if we type randomly we find things unless we are on a hurry

12:21 am

yep, found it

12:22 am

sc 9

12:22 am

dee i am trying to find it having no luck s far

12:22 am

Still looking, dee. Hello all :o)

hi mrp! How are you holding up

12:22 am

mrp does it go with either of the 7s?

Yeah, it happens more when I'm using a laptop keyboard. I should plug in my regular keyboard.

12:22 am

hi nonnie

12:22 am

accent-uate the positive, elim-i-nate the negative, don't mess with mister in-between. You'd be too young to remember that.

hi mrp! How goes it -- and did you get my email?

12:22 am

yes, the second sc7,40... past tense

not sure why they altered the spacing of the keys

12:23 am

hello mlf

I've heard it though, jilli. I don't live under a rock and I have parents... and even grandparents.

12:23 am

neil, I haven't checked email.... let me go looksie :)

12:23 am

mrp i have a 7/40 and a 7/44..we have three SC 7s?

okie dokie :)

12:23 am

my newish laptop has biligual (eng/fr) keys and it's a pain.

12:24 am

I have two sc7's and the second one goes onto the 9

12:24 am

or, I should say, neutral keys, so no "Shift" etc.

It's redundant now anyway mrp. I just hadn't read all of your bio yet when I asked the question. Silly me.

I wonder about the second question though?

12:25 am

i have 5 sc7s so far

12:25 am

dc same 3 letters?

12:25 am

hello, jilli, mrp, dee, neil, et al

hi Seain!

12:25 am

hi dc

I have the obvious one you know I'd find, Seain.

12:25 am

no, mlf

12:26 am

anagram it, neil

12:26 am

thanks dc

12:26 am

I can't see ANY sc words.

12:26 am

use the h jill

ugh. Afterwards, Seain... I'm furiously finding and typing in words!

12:26 am

and the u

need to keep looking... don't have the right sc 7 yet... have the tricky plan past tense and sneaking about... hmmmm

12:27 am

well, just got the misspelt sc 5/22 -- didn't believe it

Oh you mean... yeah, I have that.

found it!!! nbs!

12:27 am

dee i hav ethe two that go together

Found the other obvious one too. ;)

12:28 am

yes, one set of SC words i thought were SK words

12:28 am

got 3 which use the h...

hi dc! Did you fare well through the storm?

Yes, exactly.

12:28 am

absolute non-event where i live, dee, so yes :)

fantastic

12:30 am

oh, good, dc. So my Rockvill cousins should be ok too? No power outage?

12:30 am

*Rockville

12:30 am

dc did you win your game/

12:31 am

LOTS of power outages in Maryland -- they got more wind and downed trees and many, many above ground power lines.

12:31 am

MLF, i lost one on tie-breaker.

12:31 am

Oh dear.

12:32 am

bummer dc what were you playing?

I just found the place we go with family for the high holidays, Seain... never seen it spelled with a "c" before though?

12:32 am

here in Virginia, the majority of our lines are underground. Maryland has not spent the money to do that, so every thunderstorm or tropical storm, Maryland usually has as many or more dark as Virginia and North Carolina combined.

12:33 am

it's usually with a C around here, but i've seen without also.

12:33 am

short-sighted MD :-(

Oh yeah?

12:33 am

Trying to remember the name of the game, Jilli. It was a train game, building tracks and moving goods.

12:34 am

it is a schmuk of a word!

12:34 am

with C direct from German/Yiddish, without is anglicised or from Russian/Latvian

Haha!

Yes, but we never spelled it with one in our family. Don't know why... just the way it is I guess.

12:36 am

I don't think I know that word

12:36 am

school in german, jilli

12:36 am

ty dc, gotcha

I was guessing it would be from German... but our family surname is Ashkenazi and from around that area of Europe. So it's weird that we never spelled it with a "c". I guess because other people our family knew didn't, maybe.

12:38 am

crashing -- good night *poof*

12:38 am

gnight nan

12:39 am

schtetl,schtetel, shtetl,shtetel, shtetel all valid. there is much variation.

Good night nan.

12:39 am

g'night nan

Of course, Seain... and no correct English spelling of transliterated Yiddish anyway.

12:40 am

there seems to be regional conventions. At least from here to Boston, the spelling is pretty consistent.

Phew! Finally found an re word that was driving me crazy!

12:47 am

was that the re6/27?

re 6/27 is the only one I have flosey

12:49 am

oh, the only one I'm missing

2:49 am

somebody at work calls me it

Oh? It's different.

2:50 am

my name is maureen but i get mosha but Gill at work calls me moshemoo

2:50 am

so i kinda just chose it for my name on here

I see.

52 left, night,night all

2:51 am

I can't believe it! I just got a call from the local police that my husband's car was stolen wehile he was in the post office! OMG

2:51 am

night egbok sleep well

Oh man.

2:52 am

this is a tiny village!

Good night, egbokmom.

2:52 am

I feel so sorry for him

That really sucks ruby, geez!

2:52 am

ruby it never rains but it pours with you i carnt belive it

Hopefully they'll track it down.

2:52 am

waiting for the police to bring him home

2:52 am

I wonder if he left the keys in....

2:52 am

somebody must have seen it happen

Hope the cops find his car soon... and nab the theives who took off with it!

He wouldn't?!

2:53 am

we have a little car (old) which he usually takes, but it is leaking oil, so he took the newer, better one to the store\

Of course.

Would have to be that way huh?

The police will probably find it.

3:00 am

news flash! husband just got back -- evidently someone (maliciously) released the emergency brake and the car rolled down a little hill. Everything is OK and the police couldn't have been nicer. I think from now on he'll lock the car!

3:01 am

sorry to have worried you!

3:01 am

thank god thats all it was and you have it back safe

3:02 am

and that he's OK! I really worry about him in his fragility

3:02 am

the local police are sooo nice

3:02 am

yes i can imagine you do ruby

Oh good, so you have the car back?

3:05 am

yes, neil, car, husband, groceries -- all intact

Uhhh, I would never leave my car unattended without locking all the doors!

Even just to zip in to a convenience store for a few minutes... no way. That's not a chance to take!

Good!

3:06 am

living in such a small town, I guess he just doesn't think of it

These days? Trust no one.

Peopel will steal anything that isn't nailed down.

3:06 am

he will now!

People, even.

3:12 am

funny Fr slang for right-hand f!

3:23 am

3:23 am

bye ruby

4:01 am

good morning all

4:30 am

dont usually ask but I'm going to have to 'cos its driving me bezerk: anyone have the mi6? For the past 45 minutes I have become increasingly convinced that it does not actually exist and either myself or babble have finally lost it.

4:30 am

Or both, of course.

4:30 am

hi Dachef, not yet but will help you look for it

4:31 am

Hello sprite, Dachef, just passing. I am a pi6/21 of one who cannot find mi6/21 since it is almost the same.

4:32 am

it isn't misfit. Believe me, I have tried!

4:32 am

Hi from the Rhinogs inN Wales! mi6 = more ridden with little blood-sucking bugs.

4:32 am

thanks, both of you, and hi :)

4:32 am

Hello, Jacula.

4:32 am

Hello Haz.

4:33 am

thank you! Now I can put the pills back in the cupboard.

4:33 am

Don't put them in the cupboard. Share them around, we might all benefit.

4:34 am

especially with today's grid.

4:36 am

How's the holiday going, Jacula?

4:37 am

Fine so far, Haz. Our 'mountain hideaway' is full of noisy children at present, but most should leave today.

4:38 am

Then peace will descend and all will be well.

4:38 am

Yes. LOL. Maybe the sun will shine for more than 10 mins., too.:-)

4:39 am

Now come on. You can't ask for miracles.

4:39 am

I hope you brought lots of book!

4:39 am

I can try! LOL

4:39 am

sprite - yes, got lots of reading material.

4:39 am

books*

4:40 am

that will help. But I hope weather and quietude will be kind to you

4:42 am

I have wonderful scenery and the company of Paul.:-0

4:42 am

hehehe :D That should do it.

4:46 am

fireflies. Interesting grid. Bye all!

4:46 am

Well done, sprite. 29 to go here.

4:47 am

Bye, sprite. Bye, Jacula, I'm heading back to the housework. Enjoy your holiday!

7:28 am

pretty good, thanks and yourself?

7:29 am

I am well - lost power yesterday afternoon for a few hours. I am one of the lucky ones to get it back in time for supper and a shower this morning. Still 100,000 people out of power in NH.

7:29 am

wow, I can't imagine. Glad it was short lived for you

7:30 am

I saw this morning that CT has 1.2 million people in the state and 700,000 are without power

7:30 am

I think VT got hit much worse than us too. I havent heard from my friends up there yet

7:30 am

I hope everyone is well

7:30 am

My daughter lives in CT, no water, no power and today is the first day of school

7:31 am

Hi M (((Mom))) and River...glad to see you here today, River

7:31 am

((Annie)) good morning.

7:31 am

I am sure school is cancelled for today. Our schools are all closed here today...I think some of it is flooding and loss of power as well

7:31 am

School will be cancelled you think?

7:32 am

thanks Annie, I am glad to be here to.

7:32 am

Correction, school was cancelled today, starts tomorrow...Liz says everyone hopes they get power back the end of the week

7:32 am

My daughter is supposed to move into college today. They postponed her move in from Friday to this afternoon

7:32 am

wow, that totally incorrect grammar. :-)\

7:32 am

River, I am glad they did

7:32 am

*that was

7:33 am

I will hope they get their power back sooner than that

7:33 am

River, Exciting start to college days. She will remember that.

7:33 am

Her roommate got to move in because she had flown in from CA. I guess a total of 12 kids got to go but all the ones from here werent allowed to.

7:34 am

River, I wish your daughter happy times and good grades.

7:35 am

A time of adjustment for the both of you. How far away will she be from home, River?

7:36 am

Best of luck to your daughter River.

8:12 am

9:30 am

hello ((Ruby))

9:30 am

I jumped popped in for a minute and here you are

9:30 am

hello again everyone

9:31 am

{{river}}

9:31 am

hello dose

9:31 am

my husband was making speeches about how Irene was a non-event; he's the expert, having grown up in Florida! I had to leave the room

9:32 am

I felt like smacking him!

9:32 am

tell him to come over and see all the non-eventful damage

9:32 am

it's so nice to come here and not get to hear that!

9:32 am

how bad was it, river?

9:32 am

... everything was always tougher in our youth ... and what I had to put up with was always more onerous than what you're stuck with today ...

9:33 am

exactly, dose

9:33 am

THOSE were the hurricanes!

9:33 am

not bad where I am but up north it is a mess. rivers overflowed, dam let go, the flooding northern NH and Vt was bad

9:33 am

... in one sense it was ... the buildings in New York didn't come down and the subway didn't flood

9:33 am

I said that a woman was drowned in her car after calling the police who couldn't get there in time and he said she was full of sh**

Well Ruby, it was a Non-event IN Florida, totally missed us, but wow, I've seen some photos from a friend of mine in Long Island...

9:34 am

he's going off the rails, I fear

9:34 am

... north of that into Quebec it's pretty bad too ... ... major power outage ... 100,000

9:34 am

hi red!

Hello all.

Good morning all; survived the hurricane and now would like to know how many words today and thanks

9:34 am

hi all

9:34 am

we still have alot of power outages here...I was lucky and only lost mine for 3 hours yesterday

101 word steve.

9:34 am

I'll just sit here and drink my rum and coke and make him his dinner in an hour.....

9:35 am

101 steve and hello

9:35 am

... 101

9:35 am

hi jmc

tks red

9:35 am

hi everyone

9:35 am

hi steve

9:35 am

hello carlee

9:35 am

whats for dinner ruby?

hi ruby

9:36 am

he'll have leftover spaghetti and meatballs and a seafood salad to start. I'm not hungry

9:36 am

rain from hurricane stopped two miles from my house. We got nothing, but a bit of wind.

9:36 am

hello mixi

9:36 am

hi ruby.

15 inches of rain here

cups

9:37 am

where, steve, not in dallas, presumably?

9:37 am

1/2 way time to list.

near virginia beach

9:37 am

I think we had 8-13 inches depending on where you were in the state

9:37 am

that is huge!

9:37 am

to be fair, i grew up in texas and sat through several category 5 hurricanes and a tropical storm is really not as bad--but the dam breaking is worse

9:38 am

( and am I the only fool who thinks Irene is what is going to jump start the US economy...housing starts, tradepeople who had nothing to do will be subcontracted by ins cmpanies...retail for all the building and finishing materials...furniture destroyed by water and sewage... road repair and bridge repair...all the hotels and motels for temp shelter...

9:38 am

he is just being a jerk!

9:38 am

there is a campground up north that is totally under water...can barely see the roofs of the campers

9:38 am

smart carlee!!!

9:39 am

would you like to adopt my used husband, jmc, I'm sure you are much more understanding and nicer than I!!!!

9:39 am

( the news keeps saying how it is goign to devestate the economy... but....all these people need a place to stay...

9:39 am

unfortunately flood damage is not covered under a basic homeowners policy...those folks that dont have flood insurance will have to apply for assistance with the government

9:39 am

I didn't know that

9:39 am

only about 7 inches of rain on sunday

9:39 am

about the insurance

9:39 am

and most of those folks dont have any money

9:40 am

even 7 in is a lot of rain. We had a nasty little storm last week that took out many computers and TV's

9:40 am

well flood damage is different from wind and rain damage

9:40 am

30 minutes of storm and Annecy made the national news

9:41 am

7 inches in a day is a good bit of rain--but no i have no need of your dh

9:41 am

river...some lawyer somewhere will find an angle someplace and get a group of them together to sue the govt or noaa or the individual dams owners ( state authorities i presume ) for tonnes of money

9:41 am

we live on a (minor) fault line and I don't know if it's covered in our homeowners insurance

9:41 am

i think my insurance will pay for my damage if i can ever get a hold of them

9:41 am

:(

9:41 am

earthquake is not usually covered either...need an earthquate endorsement

9:42 am

yes yours should be covered jmc

9:42 am

i thin kLMC..they are a bit busy atm

9:42 am

not likely, carlee. there are people still homeless + suffering in New Orleans and that was a few years ago.

9:42 am

earthquake and hurricane insurance have huge deductibles.

9:42 am

JMC* even... <---thinks sh eis getting sick... too much going on...and its either allergy or a cold or strep....

9:43 am

part of the problem with new orleans is that the local government used it for ethnic cleansing

9:43 am

this is such an old fault line that I don't think they've ever had anything bigger than a 3 -- toppled some chimneys is all

9:43 am

yes...well we also know that those are " not important " people

9:43 am

*gives carlee a cup of hibiscus tea with honey*

9:43 am

me, too, carlee, don't know if it's hay fever or a cold

9:44 am

*gives ruby a cup of hibiscus tea with honey*

9:44 am

good morning everyone:)

9:45 am

9:46 am

hmm i was thinking ok4/9 ty

9:46 am

oven at low setting as I don't have a microwave?

9:47 am

if u have convection oven ruby...warm setting on convection

9:47 am

HOORAY FOR PSE&G! Power's back on!

9:47 am

put them on a cookie sheet with the pilot light and stir them from time to time

9:47 am

whoo hoo jbv!

9:47 am

yay for JBV

9:48 am

hibiscus have more vitamin C than oranges or lemons

9:48 am

I don't know if it is a convection oven or not

9:48 am

We had been told because it was an isolated outage (only affecting one small street because of a downed tree) - about 10 houses- that we were low on the priority list

9:48 am

yaya JBV

9:48 am

just a plain old electric oven

9:48 am

REALLY bitter so even I have to have sugar in it

9:48 am

that is amazing JBV

9:48 am

not convecton..convection has a fan

9:48 am

then lowest setting ruby and probably with the door open

9:48 am

I have a hibiscus too - never thought about drying the flowers

9:49 am

the best part is not having to type on that ridiculous laptop keyboard :)

learned a lesson last night in why it's important to label things in your freezer: took out 2 thin filets of fish (tilapia) which I had frozen, defrosted and deveined shrimp, prepared all the ingredients for a nice fish stew (bouillabaisse Italian style) - and then, when those filets defrosted I found out they were.......

10:02 am

chicken cutlets!

10:03 am

acck!

10:03 am

oops - i have done that though

10:03 am

you could turn them into paella

11:43 am

its a typo... year 3

11:44 am

ah well

11:45 am

ok....do canadian lit or childrens lit..i feel like childrens lit would be wimping out

11:45 am

What will your degree be in? And will you be a pharmacy tech?

11:46 am

Children's lit is not a wimp out.

11:46 am

It was one of the hardest lit classes I had.

11:46 am

It would be a fascinating course.

11:47 am

no scrabs... i abandonned that option... I want to do TESL Teach english as a second language ..OR if my grades are suitable do a year of teachers college when i complete my BA...

11:47 am

I am not liking this grid. Is anyone enjoying this grid?

11:47 am

to get my certification in TESL ( it was ok..I finished at 6 am ) i need my BA

11:47 am

please clue he 7,52 I am totally stumped.

11:47 am

bzz...its just i find caandian lit to be a struggle...

11:48 am

i don't have that one inge

11:48 am

inge...take the He4 ahead of it... and if you eat WAYYYYYYY too much..u feel ***l

11:49 am

and I want to test myself..push myself...and so i feel that even though childrens lit would i am sure be a diff course... the gettign through canadian lit may finally push me to appreciate cdn lit

11:49 am

anyway scrabs... my BA will be a cross discipline...

11:50 am

ah thanks!

11:50 am

he7=pay attention and not quite replete

11:50 am

then i can either do TESL ( a 6 week course ) or.... go on to teachers college

11:50 am

TY JM

11:50 am

11:52 am

we can stumble through going back to school together

11:52 am

can someone clue the second HI4?

11:52 am

I took a Canadian Studies course as a senior in HS. I remember John MacDonald. Important guy, right?

11:53 am

and its either cdn lit of kiddy lit....undecided and there is a 1/2 course that is all about the stories in the bible that occur in the torrah, the bible and the q'uran ( as i have completed all the science and soc components of the degree its the fun stuff i get to take )

11:53 am

yes scrabs...kinda an important guy

11:53 am

hi 4 - not hers + consonant. It's a babblet

11:53 am

11:55 am

BBS--must finish charts.

11:56 am

so jmc....am curious...about what u think baout the courses am interested in...

11:56 am

it is moderately frequent lbuxx like the hawaiian goose

11:57 am

i think you should take what interests you and that is the advice i gave to my own son when i was paying the bills

11:57 am

i am not at all personally interested in lit but always love history courses

11:57 am

Hello...

11:58 am

hi jells ( BTW..i LOVE this pic )

Yay for you!

12:00 pm

YAY for me :)

12:01 pm

I'm prejudiced...I used to teach children's lit...

12:02 pm

if i were to take a lit course i think children's lit would be my choice

12:02 pm

well..my problem is i have 2 separate goals... I want to challenge and grow myself as a person..to taste what is "out there" and challenge myself to new ideas vs...being practicle and focussing on what i want to do in life...

12:04 pm

ah but school is the time to taste what is out there--this isn't a voc-ed school and you have your basic requirements

12:04 pm

take whatever catches your fancy

12:04 pm

cdn lit is my challenge...childrens it is my do in life

12:04 pm

my boy took auto mechanics, criminal psych and ended up with a business degree

12:05 pm

Yes, you should go with your instincts...

12:05 pm

well if your fancy is to be challenged. . . .

12:06 pm

ugh..the ONLY instinct one i have is the religious studies one... the stories that cross over

12:07 pm

fireworks finally!

12:07 pm

anyone need clues before I go?

12:07 pm

whoo hooo lbuxx

no kidding, molly -- at one point they were saying 4 million people were without power . . .

NJ, Vermont, and Massachusetts looked pretty awful this morning on the news . . .

Oh I agree Une, they do look pretty hard hit.

Trucks must have had a hard time making it into my area. The grocery store was hit or miss today. No bananas (they ALWAYS have bananas) and nothing in the dairy cases they had to clear out because of no power.

3:56 pm

One who plots to do something.

3:57 pm

Thanks Judi, but I think that's the first. Is there another one right under it?

3:57 pm

Oh. Sorry. I only have the one so far.

4:07 pm

why is this word so hard? ugh

4:08 pm

obviously the sc9 builds off of it.

4:08 pm

there's a past tense of the word above the sc7 you were talking about

4:11 pm

JBV, we have a lot of tree damage here too. As a lover of trees, it makes me sad to see them topple.

4:12 pm

could i get a clue for the re6/27? Thanks

4:13 pm

nm found it

4:13 pm

sure you find it after I start typing a clue

4:16 pm

4:18 pm

back again...I just dont see re 6? any clues please?

re 6/27 that is

4:20 pm

re6/27...***ular healthy eating is good for you all the t***

4:21 pm

thanks! Molly :)

4:22 pm

: )

4:24 pm

Hi Molly - I know what you mean about the trees - the maple tree in our yard is almost the main reason we bought this house - lots of leaves to rake int he fall but it's worth it!

You were asking about SC7s? I have four of them; I don't know what you meant by "the second"

Oh, never mind, SC 7/*40*. NM.

4:26 pm

The second sc7/40 is what New Yorkers call a spread of cream cheese on a bagel

4:27 pm

Samantha...yes, there are two sc 7/40s.

4:27 pm

oh my! I am not a new yorker nor do I eat bagels! lol

4:27 pm

JBV, I bet that maple tree is gorgeous.

And the sc 7/9 builds off the clue Molly just gave. Sorry, my typing is slow today.

It's a Yiddish word, if that helps.

*ahem* The second sc 7/40 is an anagram of the first one. Is that more helpful?

4:30 pm

ah...maybe

Switch the fourth and fifth letters.

4:31 pm

got them! thanks!

4:31 pm

now I get the New Yorker clue!

If you're not from the right part of the country, it's a hard word to get. Glad to help.

4:33 pm

now past tense for the sc 9

4:34 pm

last word: me5/14

As someone so eloquently said earlier, French poop

4:34 pm

Always nice to end the grid on a swear word.

4:35 pm

re6/27?

. . . That was literally my first word. I take it we're very different people, you and I. :)

We just effected re6 change in Libya?

4:37 pm

nice way to end indeed! And it was that kind of word for me as I do not speak french!

4:37 pm

I am going to start dinner, bye dear babblers

hi Bugsaw.

Me too... usually by Babble.

5:06 pm

hi neil

5:06 pm

you are one of the speedier people I think

I'm a word nerd.

5:07 pm

do you have a better clue for the sc 7/40 words then? I heard it was a yiddish word for cream cheese on a bagel when in New York. I would do better with Greek

Well being Jewish I'm very familiar with the term, yes. To spread something on something... it sounds similar to the English word but of course, it's Yiddish sounding. That should be a clue for what consonant follows the "sc", before the double vowel?

yiddish of spread butter?

5:09 pm

got it now! thanks Neil

If you mean the "sc7,40" that is followed by the past tense "sc9,78"?

Oh good, Bugsaw!

5:10 pm

have them all now

How many words left?

5:11 pm

I have 22 so I will keep plodding on as I try to hang new curtain rods. When I get too frustrated, I come back here for therapy!

Ok, holler if you need any clues... I may be here at the time. I'm working on an article so I'm on here for a while, anyway.

Yes, I got your email. Thanks for writing!

6:10 pm

I just played yesterday for the first time in a year or so.

6:10 pm

It is good to see you.

Cool. Have you replied?

6:10 pm

I tr to keep up with everyone via facebook.

Oh I just checked my Gmail... nothing there yet.

6:10 pm

no, not yet :-)

6:11 pm

nice to meet you

I'm trying to get what remains of my contacts (College alumni) off Facebook and onto G+. Facebook has no privacy. It's attempting to copy G+ now though.

You too, hi!

6:11 pm

How are you, Mom?

After that... I can't wait to delete my FB page.

6:12 pm

I am just fine, Ping, just fine. I hope you have been and are well

6:12 pm

We're fine too, Mom.

6:13 pm

6:13 pm

6:15 pm

6:15 pm

LOL okay, I'll try

6:15 pm

6:15 pm

she missed us, KJE. Just couldn't stay away. :-)

Haha!

6:16 pm

yes, we are hard to forget -LOL

6:16 pm

not especially, i'm afraid

6:17 pm

im6?

6:17 pm

Am listening to the girls making up one of their stories.

6:17 pm

hmmm .... not especially missed us or got things done .... how should be take that, KJE :-)

6:17 pm

Pearl's character just said, "We are all vegetarians around here, of course, except for the meatloafs that we like so well."

6:17 pm

I see the posts o FB, ping... they are quite imaginative

6:17 pm

im + Nanny Mc****

6:18 pm

well, I choose to take it as the latter, mom

Oh, was just about to clue that... you saved me the trouble, Mom.

6:18 pm

ping... was she referring to you and your parter?

6:18 pm

I love listening to stories that kids make up. They are so funny.

6:18 pm

I do as well, KJE, thought I would tease a bit

6:18 pm

:-) Neil

6:18 pm

ty, mom... weird

6:18 pm

you're welcome

6:19 pm

me too, Molly

6:19 pm

Nutty needs to make an appearance as does Jade, neither have been around for ages either

6:20 pm

Oh Mom just meant I didn't get any more done than usual. Missed everyone!

6:20 pm

I know, Ping, I was just teasing

6:20 pm

2d sc7/40?

6:21 pm

oh nm... the bagel thing

6:21 pm

kje, I think it's imaginary although Marcia is a vegetarian and I'm not. Marcia is away tonight and I made her 2 cheeseburgers for dinner.

6:21 pm

did not know that was a real word

6:21 pm

Special request

6:21 pm

LOL ping, I meant was she calling you guys meatloaves ; )

6:21 pm

hi all. need clue for me5/14 pls?

6:22 pm

hello Mary

Shit, en francais. ;)

6:22 pm

mary - french curse word

6:22 pm

My chogging is in need of a tune up, it seems!

Sorry... but that's what it is.

6:22 pm

or as nn says

me5,14

6:22 pm

oh geez, that flew right off my fingers. Wonder where I knew that from

Hey, I just say it like it is.

Don't we always know the swear words? Haha!

6:23 pm

novels, mom... as I'm sure the word never crosses your lips

6:23 pm

ty always forget to remember my curse words

6:23 pm

lol, kje, not that one anyway

I remember to forget them, when necessary. ;)

6:24 pm

like around your parents

6:24 pm

or the children

Nah. Are you kidding me? You should hear my dad sometimes, haha!

Around children, yes.

6:25 pm

that is different Neil, my dad would say "Don't do as I do, do as I say"

6:25 pm

sc5/16?

Oh mine doesn't care. My parents aren't anal, thank goodness. But they were careful of that when we were children, of course.

Nobody wants their young children speaking like that in front of other people!

6:26 pm

oh sure, you have to be. I am still careful around mine. Although ..... I do slip

Once we were old enough to know better and know when and where not to say those things, they weren't so concerned.

morning again

Hi again, mrp!

6:26 pm

gm mrp!

6:27 pm

hi mrp

Always enjoy seeing your uhhh, furry face around here. ;)

6:27 pm

before the F word became popular, my dad let it slip once and my sister, brother and I just giggled (quietly) of course

Nice hat too.

6:27 pm

(((((MrP))))) good morning

ah thanks!

6:27 pm

ayoe have the sc5/16?

6:27 pm

my mokeys have given up

3 hours to go ladies and gents... better get the grid done

6:27 pm

I do not KJE, sorry

Oh that's nothing for my dad, Mom.

6:28 pm

go mrp!

6:28 pm

go go go MrP

my gripe for the day... why is that fat hairy mole on the front of WHO Magazine for the second consective time in a row!! She is nobody!

6:29 pm

ok... finally found it

6:29 pm

care to share, kje?

6:29 pm

sc5/16 - sounds like where kids started back this week

6:30 pm

too cool for sc5

6:30 pm

thanks

6:30 pm

yw

6:30 pm

first time in 23 years there was not any school shopping in this house

6:30 pm

no idea what you are referring to mrp

6:31 pm

feel good, mom?

6:31 pm

FW!!!

one of those magazines that publishes about the who's who...

6:31 pm

I was just going to google WHO magazine

Ummm, which fat hairy mole would that be, mrp?

6:31 pm

not really. But I am happy for them to be out of it all

I generally avoid those kinds of magazines.

6:32 pm

I would just put them in a capsule where they would be 5 forever

In case I see something in them that might make me want to inflict harm.

2 weeks earlier, she was 30kg heavier, now she is slimmed down (cough - liposuction) and lying to all and sundry about her diet!

grrrr to those magazines... neil, I am talking about the K Klan

I pay as little attention as possible to those kind of magazines, mrp.

6:33 pm

those Kardashians?

famous for sex video... and being a fat hairy mole.

Way better reading material around.

yes mom... unfortunately, my children look at that crap witht their friends, and believe it all

6:33 pm

they even made our little morning paper. Ridiculous waste of space

6:34 pm

but if they stayed 5 forever, you would ot be a successful parent, mom... you did great! thus why they have flown the coop

Must've been a slow news day, Mom.

I could tell you stories about how much of it is utter made up crap, mrp. I know.

6:34 pm

lol Neil, everyday is a slow news day around here

6:34 pm

30# i 2 weeks is physically impossible, eve fasting will not do that

i know right? they are in our papers too... forwhy? I know not

Had my eyes opened over the last few years... the last couple in particular.

7:07 pm

Inge, re6/27...***al means royal + minutes measure the t***

Oh sorry Inge... I missed that.

last clue i need is me5/14, please

Interesting to see your mention of Hanukkah in your bio, Inge. ;)

me5,14 -- "Shit", en francais.

thanks got it

7:11 pm

Inge, I just noticed that you volunteer with the Detroit symphony - when I was in college we did a series of concerts with them - Alexander Nevsky by Prokofiev - this was in 1971, though ...

You're welcome.

7:15 pm

tHANKS FOR THE RE CLUE.

7:15 pm

Y

7:17 pm

talked to my dad this morning - he got through the hurricane just fine, a few very brief power outages but that was it. Fortunately he lives on top of a hill, so the flooding doesn't affect him.

7:17 pm

'GREAT !!! i started with the DSO in 1983. r

Good to hear, Sue.

7:19 pm

till macular degeneration took over

7:19 pm

inge, we did the concert in Detroit, Cleveland, Rochester, and Washington DC - it was part of the dedication of the Kennedy Center (which was new at the time). Very exciting!

7:24 pm

Inge...sending you a cyber hug. My Mom had macular degeneration and it is hard to deal with.

7:24 pm

sounds yummy, crossy!

7:25 pm

im6?

7:28 pm

thanks Molly. Your clues are ingenious,by tje way

7:30 pm

You know how dictionary publishers will sometimes include a few mistakes so they can tell if someone is plagiarizing their work? I think that's where the sc5/22 and sc7/56 pair come from.

7:30 pm

my mrs has a degenerative eye disease also inge and i share your pain and wish you every success in this fight

7:31 pm

we are holding at 20/400! and medical advances happen every day

7:32 pm

I agree with molly and crossy, inge - wish you the best - my neighbor has macular degeneration and can hardly see. My dad has it too but one of his eyes is much worse than the other, so he can still read and even drive.

7:32 pm

my mrs can read with a e-book reader can use the microwave,but not the oven nor can she drive

7:33 pm

Good evening my fine babblers!

7:33 pm

ke4/10 and plural

k's rhyme with a plant in the marijuana family.

a brand of ice cream or a politician

8:00 pm

haven't listed yet, TO, but I only have 5 of them...

Ks, even. That was an inapporpriate use of an apostrophe and I know better and don't usually do that. [slaps wrist]

8:00 pm

I know exactly how you feel. My dad is an English teacher.

I'm a journalist.

8:01 pm

Yeah, I am feeling your drift.

And writer of other things... how that ' slipped in there I just don't know. I think I see it too much on here or something.

8:02 pm

Only 13, Sue. Need any clues?

8:03 pm

I do have half. Need anything?

8:03 pm

not yet, but thanks

Ok, holler if you do. I may even be looking at this window at the time. ;)

Or just buzz me on messenger.

8:08 pm

me5,14 -- "shit", en francais.

8:09 pm

8:09 pm

8:09 pm

evenin babblers. :)

8:10 pm

hi, eva!

8:10 pm

Hello Eva. How are you this fine evening?

re6,27 -- a system of rule [govenrment].

government, even. My typing, geez!

8:10 pm

enjoying my chocolate covered raspberry ice cream bar, via weight watchers. after tonights running session, i NEEDED it.

I think I've been typing too much today.

8:11 pm

ack - how did I miss the ge4/10?

8:11 pm

Re6/27= re+ *.* Joe + **, myself, and I

If one wants the word spelled out for them, yes.

8:11 pm

sounds good, eva!!

8:12 pm

(both the ice cream and the running!)

I don't know, Sue... do you know any?

8:12 pm

I would like one of those!

That does sound tasty.

8:12 pm

well, let me think - everybody I work with?

8:12 pm

ive got a few more in the freezer. ;)

Haha, then that word should've jumped right out at you, Sue!

8:13 pm

Can I have one?

Like if "dork" or "nerd" is ever in the grid, that'll be the first word I see.

8:14 pm

::places extra ice cream bars in the chog:: i also have the skinny cow cookies-n-cream truffle bars + the WW version of snickers ice cream bars.

8:14 pm

:)

Thank you, EvaNadine. How generous of you!

8:14 pm

*grabs two bars*

8:15 pm

great Hostess!

The hostess with the mostess?

8:15 pm

nbt finally! (with 17 left)

Mostest!

I'll be ok. Or... not.

8:15 pm

sue, half the reason i even WENT to my class tonight was because i had a slight gain last week (and i skipped a class last week). i still feel a little discouraged, but obviously the classes are doing SOMETHING, so i need to keep going!

8:15 pm

thank you for the two words the me will not enter yet says i have it on the list should be fireworks

Are you spelling it right, regis?

Are you talking about the me5,14?

8:16 pm

i must say, to anyone who hasnt tried WW or Skinny Cow ice creams, they are amazinly tasty, and much "healthier" !

8:16 pm

eva, you are doing so well! keep it up and I'm sure you will be fine.

8:17 pm

and regis, try refreshing the screen

8:17 pm

yes it says i already have the words but will not list and give fireworks

Wow. That's weird... and annoying.

8:18 pm

evening all

8:18 pm

thanks sue. sometimes juggling the meal planning, shopping, cooking, and exercising gets to be a bit much. and add that on top of the rest of, well, LIFE, and sometimes it is just TOO much. hence the slight gain last week. hope i do better this week -- im aiming to hit my 15 pound mark!

8:18 pm

hi, dan!

8:19 pm

oh well thanks again another day

Evening, Dan.

8:19 pm

Hello dan!

Sorry about that, regis.

8:20 pm

Eva, it sounds like that goal will be reached. Good luck!

8:20 pm

thanks mark. im bringing sexy back! ;)

8:22 pm

That reminds me of camp...

8:22 pm

and finally got the 9 so now nbs with 8 left :-)

8:23 pm

a healthy weight is a good thing,but agonizing over every ounce and every food coice is noty good.in 90 years or less we are all food for the worms.i will not spend most of it panicking over everything ieat

8:24 pm

fireworks! last word was the last word :-)

8:24 pm

but then again i have a full physical set up for next month and i imagine he will try to cut me off of everythign but tofu and bean sprouts

8:24 pm

oh, i know, crossy. but i am in the "obese" category, and the scale has only been moving upwards. i have been lazy both with what i eat as well as with my body. this is just helping me be accountable.

8:24 pm

can I have the stats for the lone E?

8:25 pm

eg4/6

8:25 pm

my "healthy" weight range is about 50 pounds LESS than where im at right now.

8:25 pm

ty uu duh

8:26 pm

and I am in the same situation as eva, so it's not ounces that I'm worried about but many pounds (about 50 for me too to be in the healthy - not overweight - range)

8:26 pm

as is mine eva,as is mine

8:26 pm

and I am short so 50 pounds is a pretty big fraction of my weight

8:27 pm

since this is my first time really truly having a go at it, i will be happy with ounces, so long as they are ounces in the right direction. ;)

8:28 pm

ladies,you are right of course,i am just in denial atm,but i am sure the physical,and the stress test will set me right as well as the lipid test

8:29 pm

and I'm sure Mrs. Crossy will give you lots of encouragement :-)

8:29 pm

that she will,she is the staff that i lean on

8:30 pm

honestly, i have been somewhat depressed for a while now about the weight i have put on. i was never heavy growing up -- quite the contrary, i was quite thin and very fit, having grown up a dancer. and in the next few years, im going to be thinking about having babies, and id like to be as fit and healthy going into that as possible.

8:31 pm

lol eva,we are the opposite,our babies are ready to leave the nest and we wish to be halthy for each other to do all the things we have but dreamed of

8:31 pm

well, I was never exactly thin, but I was pretty fit (used to run 7 miles a day when I was in my 30s) but got pregnant when I was 38 and never did lose all the weight - have cycled up and down since then

8:33 pm

when i was younger, i was a dancer who looked like a dancer. now im a used-to-be dancer who looks like a never-was dancer.

8:34 pm

i do not wish to be paralysed by excess weight and arthritis at 60

8:35 pm

well crossy, maybe you should join our babblers weight loss FB group. :)

8:37 pm

well, I am 60, crossy, and not exactly paralyzed, but would like to be thinner

8:37 pm

perhaps i should,but the physical is next month and i shall shee how badly i am off first

see ya all

8:38 pm

MrP!

hope to be home soon and back on babble with my buddies... take care now

8:38 pm

the arthritis is really hard on me sue.i have broken many bones over my life and have pins and screws in my legs.so it is already a battle some mornings

panic is setting in over the anesthetic process, but in 2 hours, i will be out to it! just pray a little then... thanks friends

8:39 pm

(((MRP)))

8:39 pm

big crossy type bear hug for ((((MRP))))

8:40 pm

8:42 pm

8:43 pm

8:43 pm

crossy, I know what you mean - I have two artificial knees and 3 discs in my neck replaced with donor bone (and a couple of them screwed together) - my knees hurt all the time now but I walk anyway as I think the exercise is good for me - but they would I am sure hurt less if I weighed less

8:43 pm

indeed sue,we must keep moving

8:44 pm

ok all, im gonna prep myself for bed. anything prior to 10 is an early night.

9:17 pm

actually with the lfirst part of the last installment of twilight you should read... and if you want ot be REALLY up..read the partial book online ( we have so MANY good discussions at pathfinders from the books the kids are reading

9:18 pm

thanks carlee -- will keep that in mind.

9:18 pm

I think I am about to turn in. That supper was WAY to filling.

9:19 pm

( I just know that as soon as the kids know u watch/ read what they do...when all they get from their parents is "that crap!!! " they suddenly open up

9:19 pm

true - I have experienced it many times. Just not really a fan of vampire stuff.

9:20 pm

But I could probably cope with part of a single book

9:20 pm

( actually i dont mind them...

9:24 pm

hi mkg

9:24 pm

evening :)

9:24 pm

hi jes

9:24 pm

Hi, jes

9:25 pm

how's tricks?

Oh yes? Didn't know you were there to start with since I've only just met you very recently... but congrats, that's great!

Must be a big relief.

9:26 pm

thanks... throughout marriage i wanted to go back and finish many times..but was always too much $ or too much wear and tear of vehilce..or whatever

Oh. Sometimes you just have to do it anyway.

9:26 pm

well... am going back now!!!!

Yes, good! What will you be studying?

9:26 pm

anyway... was just going to toddle off to find cholits to celebrate

At least!

What about champagne? ;)

9:27 pm

have a lovely celebration, car :)

9:27 pm

I am finishin gup my BA ....in social science..but i have enough science from other studies that next year when i apply to teachers college i will qualify to teach science up to grade 12

Oh excellent, carlee!

9:28 pm

Very cool!

9:28 pm

no champers... i dont drink

hi jes.

9:28 pm

anyway..toodles all

9:29 pm

how's it, neil?

Oh ok. Well whatever your choice of beverage is then.

9:29 pm

Toodles, carlee...

Which it, jes? Haha.

That could be sooo many things.

9:29 pm

whichever it comes to mind first :)

9:29 pm

p's punted!

9:30 pm

I'm up for some nonsequitorage :)

Now rock those r's, jes!

9:31 pm

hah! still trying to get to halfway! though i do have half of the r's, i think...

9:31 pm

awfully short on words starting with vowels, but that's kind of normal for me.

Which ones?

There aren't too many of those in this grid.

9:34 pm

all of them. i have found 1 o, 1 e, and 1 i. but for some reason, vowel starting words, especially e words, hide from me

9:34 pm

brain's broken that way, i guess

9:35 pm

i'll get them when i ask lickety for help :)

9:36 pm

there's half way :)

em5,12 can be spelled with one vowel instead of the double vowel that follows, before the ending consonant. I don't like spell-out-the-word clues. That's a tough one to clue, but it means an Arab/Islamic ruler.

9:37 pm

i prefer definition clues, usually. thanks

evening...

9:38 pm

hi spec

em4,5 -- to give off something. Light, gas, etc.

Yes, me too.

Evening, specificity.

9:39 pm

that's the one I had. I wasn't actually asking for clues, just commenting on the state of my grid :)

9:39 pm

hi all.

im6,27 -- im + Nanny Mc****.

hi mk

[another tough one to clue]

9:40 pm

g's ground down

im4,6 you'll probably want to monkey. A child acting like a monkey plus a vowel?

9:40 pm

nanny who????????????

im5,14 is the plural of that.

9:41 pm

just home from israeli dancing. fun fun fun

Israeli dancing? Are you also Jewish, mkg?

Nanny Mc****, mkg -- 2005 fantasy film. Emma Thompson, Colin Firth?

9:44 pm

dont know it. yes very jewish. religious. a bubby.

Sorry, Jess... then the im4,6 is the plural of children who act like little monkeys.

A bubbe? :)

I'm Jewish too.

9:44 pm

bubby means grandmother in yiddish.

As if you can't tell. I'm always told I look like a Sabra.

sabra, don't know why I capitalized that.

I know very well what it means.

9:45 pm

is the photo you neil?

I'm Jewish, remember?

9:45 pm

it's alright neil. you don't need to clue them all... i haven't even gone to the list yet. and as a general rule, i don't ask for clues for 4 letter words.

Yes, mkg.

As are those in my Flickr... the ones you can see. A lot of them are private, that's why there are jumps in the numbering... but there are several public ones.

9:46 pm

you look jewish but could also be italian, greek, turkish, etc. gee somehow i think i saw something you wrote which meant you were probably jewish. the photo is one of my israeli grandkids. from years ago.

Ok, jes. Just trying to be helpful as so many are here.

Well true, mkg. If you knew our family name you'd know. ;)

9:47 pm

anyone have the two k words? kefir is not in grid. and i am stumped.

9:47 pm

love the quote in your profile, neil

Very cute, mkg!

9:48 pm

my first and last names are totally jewish. my daughters were so happy that they married guys whose names dont sound jewish having grown up where everyone knew they were jewish. i grew up with a not jewish name and was so proud to have a jewish name. go figure.

What, "Irene is punishment for Gay Marriage in NY."? That gave me a good headshake -- accounting for my comments [questions] which follow.

9:48 pm

Hello all. Hi Neil!

My middle and last names are, mkg.

9:48 pm

who said that about irene? how bizarre.

Hi, m9!

9:48 pm

the bit about omnipotence not coming with a good sense of timing.

9:48 pm

is middle name a surname from your mother or somethibng?

Some Twitter moron. There are many of them.

9:48 pm

i dont do twitter. who has time.

No, my brother who is the firstborn of the two of us, has Mom's maiden surname as his middle name. My middle name is a Jewish first name.

9:49 pm

oh, only about a half dozen rabid uberconservative christian wackos, mkg. The same ones that pop up and blame every other disaster on gays.

Well I do, because some of us use it for various reasons.

9:49 pm

by the way, i think almost a quarter of those who come to israeli dance arent jewish. very interesting. many are jews for jesus or messianic jews.

Exactly, jesdraggon. They're in plentiful supply unfortunately.

9:50 pm

i also named 4 of my kids with middle names that were surnames.

9:50 pm

the ones that are so dedicated to making the rest of the world disgusted and hateful towards all of christianity.

And my brother is gay, so you can imagine how unimpressed I am with that homophobic crap.

9:51 pm

so many gay jews. amazing. sad for our birth rate but otherwise fine by me.

9:51 pm

any clues out there? for the k words?

9:51 pm

I'm Klueless

9:52 pm

don't be too sad for your birthrate, mkg. been a couple studies that showed gay teenage boys are MORE likely to get a girl preggers than straight boys.

9:52 pm

gotta prove they're not gay, you know.

9:52 pm

good one m9

9:52 pm

ke4/10

9:52 pm

wow jes that is amazing. how do they manage to get turned on if they are turned off by women? i dont get it but then why would i.

9:53 pm

how about clues for the h words for bottom left corner h?????????????????????????????????

9:53 pm

that sounds like a mythical statistic to me.

9:53 pm

by closing their eyes and thinking about a guy? I dunno. I've never bothered to have sex just to prove i was something i wasn't. but it's apparently pretty common.

9:53 pm

ty. got both k words

Thanks for that, jes. [shakes head]

9:54 pm

pfee

9:54 pm

oops./ sorry

9:54 pm

*curtsey* Enjoy that mental image, completely gratis!

Gee, mkg. Lots of gay guys I've met have had girlfriends in the past, in their teens and even twenties.

Life isn't so black and white, you know.

And I should say, people aren't.

9:55 pm

few things are starkly black and white.

9:55 pm

but there is a lot of pressure on kids to prove that they are "normal"

9:55 pm

and a lot of kids are quite susceptible to pressure.

9:55 pm

nothing is starkly black and white. i guess i just dont get it because i cant imagine it.

9:56 pm

for that matter, so are a lot of adults.

9:56 pm

i agree jes.

I think our birth rate is doing just fine. And someone being gay or not doesn't need to meet your approval. Being gay isn't a choice anyone makes. It just is. My brother decideded to be gay the day you decided to be straight. It's his natural sexual orientation and he can't do anyting about that.

Yes Jes, very few things in life ever are.

9:58 pm

I know, neil. I don't disapprove and didn't intend it to sound that I did. I'm quite a bit off the center line of "heteronormative cis-gender" myself.

No, jes. I didn't think that at all.

9:58 pm

tangentially, thank you for standing up for your brother and not disowning him. :)

Why would I disown him for that? It would be like disowning him for having blue eyes.

He can't help that any more than he can help what color eyes he was born with.

9:59 pm

i agree it is not a choice. it is not easy either. i am sure this is inborn. totally sure. that is why i get upset by those who look down on gays or feel they "chose" it. i agree it is inborn. i was attracked to me when i was a small girl. i remember things like that. no one told me anything, it was just there. so you are right it is just nature neil.

9:59 pm

dunno. but there are a lot of families out there that do.

9:59 pm

oh doesnt anyone have any h clues for that bottom corner h???????????????

Well not in our family. I have intelligent, well-educated parents who have good common sense, so of course it was no issue to them either.

Maybe we do, but we were kind of busy there, weren't we? Looking.

10:01 pm

don't have them, mkg

To truss up/tether an animals, mkg. Pig?

Think of a rodeo.

If you mean the h6,27?

10:02 pm

thanks, neil

10:02 pm

ho7

The ho6,27 and ho7,44 I mean.

I'll be ok.

10:02 pm

not harness............hmmmm

I just corrected that, m9. Thanks. ;)

10:02 pm

d's defeated

10:02 pm

LOL... well I'll be ho7!!

My two cents: My best friend was booted out of home at 17 for being gay, struggled with his mental health was dead at 29 from suicide because he couldn't find his place in life

Think tethering, mkg... ti4,5.

That's horrible. :(

Must've had very ignorant, cruel parents.

10:03 pm

and yet entirely too common, neil.

I know, Jes. :(

10:03 pm

herin that is horrible. how could parents be so horrible??????????

It happens, sadly. Even to someone my brother and a couple of his friends knew... the kid was totally disowned by his parents and they were very cruel about it too.

His father. But I lay no blame with him as it is how he was brought up. Like my father. No problem with ''them'' but lord forbid if I was a flaming lesbian

10:05 pm

f's finished

10:05 pm

m9 ty. got the ho words from that phrase. ty neil too for clues.

Well I do. Because no matter how you are brought up, you have a mind of your own and hopefully don't choose to live life with your head in the sand, blindly believeing whatever you're told to believe. Think for youself and use common sense.

10:05 pm

When I was in a highschool a lesbian friend came to live with our family. Her Dad was saying he wanted her to change her last name.. and her mom sent "get well" cards...!?!?!?

The problem is, a lot of people just don't THINK.

10:06 pm

can't just keep holding people's responsibility to be decent humans in abeyance because of how they were raise

Too much effort.

EXACTLY, jes!

10:06 pm

gay men suffer more than lesbians i think. especially effiminate men. i feel so sorry for them. it is a hard life. i have a relative who went to s hock therapy for years trying to "change". how terrible. he never told us this. it was terrible.

If I blamed his father I think I would implode

10:06 pm

the father deserves blame for the way he treated his kid. He's an adult, he can get over how he was raised.

10:07 pm

i'd probably have EXploded, in the direction of the father, lady

I would explode... all over him. I'm rather intolerant of intolerance!

10:07 pm

but then, i've never been particularly subtle or shy ;)

10:07 pm

at some pooint a person has to say that regardless of their upbringing they will do what they want to do. but then it is easy for me to say since my parents were fabulous loving giving people.

AMEN, jes! Damn girl, do we think alike or what?!

10:08 pm

great minds, neil...

10:08 pm

and sheep. :)

It's just funny... you're echoing everything I'm thinking and saying.

10:08 pm

night all. time for sleep. live in the east.

10:08 pm

sleep sweet, mkg

Good night, mkg.

10:08 pm

i rock that way, neil ;)

10:08 pm

the father should have been hung by his_____________ til dead.

10:08 pm

modest too, i am.

My darling best friend just got disowned by her family. I was holding her because she was not invited to a family bbq because of her ''life style''. I was so saddened because she is with a caring woman who I have been friends with for 8 or so years. I was so angry and if I didn't have some respect for my elders I would have rung up her parents and told them at least she is with someone that cares and isn't bed hopping and being drunk like the atypical 19 year old

Haha! I can tell.

10:09 pm

hard to learn from that lesson, mkg. i'd rather send him to work in a homeless shelter with all the gay homeless kids.

Night MK

10:09 pm

be more effective at forcing him to see the consequences of his actions.

Sorry I am in a rather pissy mood today.

Exactly, jesdraggon.

10:10 pm

Respect for your elders? bah. on THAT topic anyway, they don't deserve respect if they're gonna act like that.

10:10 pm

(and lady thinks SHE'S pissy?! heheehhee)

10:11 pm

and unless people tell them so, lady, they'll continue along their same course and never change.

Jess I am angry and annoyed that my idiot government are on a witch hunt with Pitt Bull / X dogs

10:12 pm

that never changes, lady. is an ongoing thing all over. good luck getting government to look at actual studies though.

High-fives to you all the way, jes. For everything you're saying here. You're saving me the trouble.

Or maybe IDK using DNA or banning puppy farms or booting people in the arse properly over animal cruelty

10:12 pm

but since gov'ment is a bugger to change, and you ahve your friend's folks' number, give 'em a ring and tell them they're being dopes.

I just gave her tea and chocolate and a stiff drink till her partner turned up. Might we add that they are listed as a civil union couple with the pension office :D

10:15 pm

at least that's an option there, lady. lot of places here won't even honor domestic partnership.

But it is only with the pension and not on paper which is bloody stupid

Does your LiveJournal nickname @ that domain get email to you, jes?

10:17 pm

at gmail, neil

Your Babble name at that?

10:18 pm

no, draggonlaady

10:18 pm

(so yes, livejournal name, but at gmail, not babble name)

Thanks. :)

Seriously how boring would it be if we were all alike?

10:19 pm

you may note that i'm a tad opinionated if you read my lj ;)

10:20 pm

i dunno, lady. i think i could have quite a bit of fun with a set of clones of myself...

Jes has a clone army of evil minions rescuing ever type of animal out there . That could work

10:25 pm

ah, but if we were all like me, there'd be a lot fewer critters in need of rescuing.

Ok, jes... sent.

My friends saw the pic of Dane and can't believe how big he is

That doesn't sound evil to me.

I will do that, jes... you may enjoy my blogs too.

10:26 pm

it's evil, neil. i'm raising up all the rescues to form an army dedicated to world domination.

And an article I have online that you'd probably get a chuckle or two out of. I doubt my humor would fly over your head like it has over so many, sadly.

No, I mean that animal rescue doesn't sound evil to me. Nothing evil about that!

Haha, are you now? Well good.

No she is training EVIL Squirrels. Seriously those creature freak me out.

10:32 pm

are there any non-evil squirrels, lady?

10:32 pm

they are natural ambush warriors. Vital to the army.

Ask Nutty.

10:33 pm

She would verify that they are all evil.

10:35 pm

Evening all.
