AE 4 babblet
Late for flip... again.
hi nell
Hi Neil. :o)
Hi Laura. :)
What's with all these small grids? Geez.
ae7,28 [probably been called already I'm sure]
neil they are worse if they are under 100 lol
hi neil and faux et al
Hi mrpres.
Hi mrp!
4TH COLUMN A sstats please?
Worse? I want a big fat grid.
worse meaning harder
Something to really sink the teeth into.
Even better!
we have had some big fat grd before
ci7,32 [probably also been called]
So I hear.
AE 6
yes neil i called the Ci 7
and thanks for the AE 7 i just found it
yw
i need 3 more for nbt
ci7,32 -- been called? if not, there it is.
unless we have two its now been called three times and you called it twice neil
There are in fact two ci7,32s, yes.
That's why I called the other when I just found it.
are they similar?
Somewhat. Also dissimilar.
same but different lol
Only the very beginning is silmilar. Last part, no.
they both start with ci and have seven letters lol
Pretty similar. The 4th letter of the 2nd one is a consonant and the last letter, a vowel.
gee thanks rasta lol
That's opposite for the 2st one.
They both start with the same first 3 letters. I shouldn't say any more.
rasta do you have the stats for the first T on the 2ND COLUMN?
I've already given it away, pretty much.
re 9 x3 -- hi everyone :)
I think it's the tr4
Hi cybernan.

how about the T on the 5th column stats please?
I think that's the te6/18

Hi cybernan! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

That's how I always get the volcano
for jilli...poker start/volcano
Sparkly things.
Yay Neazle!
hello everyone and congrats neil
Haha, Laura. Thanks!
Hi and thanks, flosey.
Hi flosey.
hi Laura
nj neil
Wish ruru was here. He'd appreciate what I shared at the bottom of my bio.
just home from bridge, jilli should be along soon
I'm happy 32 left and I have the biggies! The rest will keep have a good day all
Oh ok. I'll go kill the Sudoku puzzle meanwhile.
And sorry dart... thank you!
hi and nbt
Hi josh.
sorry, was dealing with teenages... and not my own!! FML
Ugh. What happened, mrp?
I appreciate it Neil
hey mrp!
You appreciate what, spatialbean?
Oh, nm!
Haha, thanks. ;)
the thing in your profile about bachman
Can't tell I'm overtired much, can you?
Yes, clued in after I'd said that.
I tweeted that earlier today. It was well appreciated by many other Twitterers.
teens with sex on their mind, and nothing between their ears! And who sends pictures of their weeny to a 13 year old??
eek
OMG mrp... geez!
friggin idiot kids!
To a 13 year old? Uh, who sent that?
they guy who wanted to meet up with the 13 year old in a ***you all ready for this***.... disabled toilet at the shopping centre to 'do it'... and thought he would send a picture of his package beforehand.
Oh,that would be Anthony Weiner, right?
lol
rast, he was proud!!!!
revolting... absolutely skanky
agree mrp. I don't mean to make lite of it...........
Holy crap. isn't there any way to report him to the police?
i wish i could... actually, I could
keep the info on the phone if possible.
If the picture's not deleted, surely you could turn him in
You should if you possibly can, mrp. He's a pedophile and a danger to children everywhere.
Which goes without saying.
neil, he is 14 and an idiot
someone did that with your kid mr P?
i know his name, but that is it... and I know who he is friends with... I could report it... it is child pornography
not my kid ruru, a friend of my kid
Hello all -- a bit late.
you can report it.. it is child pornography and highly illegal anywhere
sexting is illegal and children can be charged if they are underaged. If convicted he would become a registered sex offender
139 down and crashing -- that will have to be enough! -- nite
speak to his parents first
hey ruru
hi dart.. you will be pulling ahead of me soon
why's that?
I'll be going in for surgery at some point..and unless I buy a lap top..i'll be out for a bit
that's not good...hope everything works out for you
me too.
thanks
did you see the point total on 9/1/11?
I was mentioning earlier that my humor on morphine might be even sicker
no why.. what did I miss?
you did the puzzle...pt total for that puzzle was 2444...lol...if I would have missed that one puzzle...we would be EXACTLY tied
dang
what are the chances it would be tha exact total difference?
so, ruru, you saw the doc and he put you on morphine until you have the surgery? And what will the surgery be?
i'd like you to miss a 2445 one once
arthro?
no.. I wish jilli.. I'm going to deal with the pain issue tomorrow with my internist
and what will the surgery be?
knee replacement on one knee and arthroscopic cleanup on the other
both knees?
Then I thought I'd have a face-lift and some liposuction as long as I was in for work
Wow, you'd better get that laptop!
lol.....is that from the tennis?
both knees
yeah I'd better .. dart will become insufferable if I don't
both at the same time?
yes
I'm going to be a hoot going through airport secruity now
well, it will be good to get it over with all at once, I guess.
yeah I guess
I just hate the thought of it
you will get the full pat down routine!
You'll be glad when it's done
yeah.. I hope she's cute
she'll be named Bubba lol
Me : Hi airport security: is that a pipe bomb or are you happy to see me?
ruru, check the end of my bio... something you'll appreciate no doubt.
not going there
lol
I'm not either, geez.
ok neil
hi neil -- I enjoyed that thing in your bio
..gonna run...ni4 all...good luck ruru
I'm glad, jilli. I have to wonder about anyone who wouldn't or doesn't, really.
Good night dart... take care.
that's great news neil..
Ed ROllins is a real pro
Isn't it though?
Made my day!
Yep.
I seems there are lots of people who prefer stupidity -- makes them feel superior
now if we don't have to see her creepy husband ever again .. I'll be really happy
Amen to that ru.
I read an article on him and he is totally bizarre and whacked
Is that what it does, jilli? I fail to see how stupidity could ever be 'superior'... but maybe that's just me? You know what we are surrounded by though, largely.
Yes, ruru... I've probably read the same article.
And others besides.
I understand that he is involved in some ministry to change gay men and women into heterosexuals.. blah blah blah
what kind of rocks do these cretins crawl out of.. that's what I want to know
Yes, ruru. Seain posted a link to an article all about that on Google+ not too long ago. Scary wasn't the word for it. Then my brother found an interview clip of hers on YouTube and he posted that... along with his comments. It was unbelievable.
I can get it for you if you want to see?
no. it's okay
I know enough about the two of them to just laugh at their fumbling in the electoral process
Too bad Hunter Thompson didn't live to see this one
this whole Tea party movement does scare me a bit however
Yes, it's pretty disturbing shit.
agreed
I meant that those who like stupid people do so because it makes them feel superior themselves.
séain Gutridge - Aug 17, 2011 - Extended circles ‎"Just so we're clear here, Rep. Michele Bachmann, a leading Republican candidate for the presidency of the United States, has a top-ranking employee who was arrested for allegedly smuggling assault weapons to a foreign regime that is presently working to legalize the executions of gay people. Everybody got that? " Joe. My. God.: Michele Bachmann Linked To Uganda's Pastor Martin "Kill The Gays" Ssempa
http://joemygod.blogspot.com/2011/08/m ichele-bachmann-linked-to-ugandas.html
I understood you jilli and you are right on the mark
Ugh, sorry I accidentally hit 'Enter' before adding the link.
But read that, you two. Frightening.
I wouldn't doubt it for a second..
I don't think I am ever going to Iowa .. ever
Don't blame you ruru. Le'ts not ever go there together and meet up for coffee elsewhere.
And here's my brother's post right after Seain's: A. L. - Aug 15, 2011 - Limited http://t.co/1CXHENe… yup girl, your views are too clear: you're an extremely ignorant woman who just grins when she's called out. No thanks YouTube - MIchele Bachmann: 'I don't judge gays'
[I've taken his name out of course.]
well she is judging someone...
Those are his own comments from 'yup girl' to 'No thanks'.
Daring for him
I hope her husband gets caught with porno stuff.. he's a sick puppy
Of course she is, mrp... gay people. She's the most judgemental person I think I've ever seen. She's downright evil. Supports people who want to kill gays in Uganda.
Daring for him why, ruru?
he's so publicly known
And yes ruru, he really is. I'd love to see that happen.
he is an advocate no??
He doesn't care. He's not ashamed to speak up against wrong... nobody should be.
you can tell him.. I think he's great.
i luv justice... is my middle name
You could tell him yourself if you were on G+. I'll pass that on... I'll tell him 'rururocks' says so.
:D mr P I love you
Of course he'll wonder who the heck that is.
LOL .. I'm a nobody.. but I appreciate his courage in coming out and his forthrightness in taking on conservative america
love you too ruuster! we are the 'justice league!'
I grew up with 7 gay cousins neil.. I am very pro gay rights
For that matter he may already know your Babble name, ru. He's Babbled a few times... probably with Laura I think?
I hate to divert your, but I have 2 blank tiles and wonder if someone can help me find words for the R and the T in the lower right, please.
He never has time for it much. He said he's only completed one grid because it was a small one and not too hard.
I'll try, jilli.
I remember seeing him on Babble a while ago, just using his first name.
nothing worse than a small one that isn't very hard..
I'm just bad at knowing which words come off which tiles sometimes yet.
Haha, he would say that!
lol
hahahaha ruuster!
Oh, jilli? He was using a pseudonym he told me.
The t is part of another name for a seesaw, jilli
don't worry about it, neil
te6/18 - half a see-saw
and especially one that doesn't come off anything!
oops.. sorry haz
Not worried.
ty helensg
and ty Haz
Oh yes. Saw that a little late.
duh.
late night bawdy humor
the r is another word for delay - I think that's the right one!
Yes. I'll get the hang of this yet.
No, it comes off another r. Still looking...
all these r's are confusing me
That does?
ick... i need a shower after that pedo pic... brb
nope, helens, not from the bottom R -- at least not the re6/21 that led me to
Oh yeah, guess it has to.
I bet mrp... gross.
ri 6 jilli means the same thing in italian music
re 6/18 off that 4th col R
It's the rightmost r we're looking for, ruru.
I was looking at the r in the right hand column - but I think that's wrong, too.
lower RIGHT, ruru dear
Yep. Knew that one... years of classical piano lessons while growing up.
Yep. Knew that one... years of classical piano lessons while growing up.
no idea jilli
Sorry - I was looking at the right hand column r - but I had the wrong word anyway!
re + ea 4
Work for wages again
Giving up for the night - I've got a delay going here that is maddening! See you all tomorrow, I hope.
helens -- that delay was the nightly hiccup
Yeah, after midnight and I've got a job to do today... better get some shuteye. Night all!
ty Haz and diz -- and I found another one -- more backward
goodnight neil
thanks for the laughs
night neil
i'm stuck
so NBT, whoopee!
good for you jilli
I am not there yet
I have 112 and still have blank tiles
<------ chat killer
No, it's just that the whole NBT thing leaves me completely cold.
I get that.. I just try to finish.
I think I'll go have NPU..now
I'm certainly in a state of WOEDHM.
I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours.
LOLOLOL
omg haz.. you are tooooo funny.
no pillow unturned
I'm ready to call it a day
Ah! 'What on earth does he mean' was mine.
<--- mindlessly celebrates her NBT regardless of its relative meaninglessness ;p
lol
Now we're both clear - sleep well!
lol.. good night .. have a nice game
Bye, ruru.
woedhm
LOL
<---- giggles down hallway
Watch out, mrs ruru...
indeed! :)
HA
oh, nbt is just a landmark for me.
poor ruru -- nightynight
we all have our little ways...
Like King John.
...And sometimes noone spoke to him For days and days and days...
and nobody has said a word on chat for 7 minutes except me...
I am stumped at the amount of R's in this one... and how few I see! :P
sop bye bye...*poof
I only get in trouble.
I just keep staring... but I also giggle a bit at the chog now and then, sorry, jilli! :)
and to think... all I strive for these days is a solid halfway in most grids, and am having trouble with even that tonight!
It's not a grid that flows easily.
no, it's not. I"m at 70, so not far to halfway.
but I have no 8's or 9's, think I"ll check the back chog.
rbud, re 9/60 x 2 and re 9/54. can't help with the 8s
an8/40 - bug consumer
thanks, diz & Haz! :)
thx Haz my 1st 8
na8 - one who tells a story (unusual spelling)
ni8/40 is the other
woohoo thnx again Haz
You're welcome.
Heading off - enjoy your day!

hi molly I thought it was too good not to share
gm
evening babblers :)
hi mrp
i am NOT sure i like this grid
i think carlee wants to spend time in the kitchen playing today.... not sure what she wants to make tho ( although buffalo chicken wings are on the menu for tonight )
My last one - the second re 6/18 any clues please
hi... sorry, phone calls!
ok, sorted out the nude photo scandel with the underage kids... i was contacted by the parent of the boy who posted his weener on a 13 year old girls phone... she is begging me to delete it and not take it any further.
hi, all! popping in briefly after exercise, will be back with breakfast! holiday is over, back to work...
oh yippee joy
( sorry gran just getting started here)
i think..perhaps...the school should know MRP
my threat?? i will pass the information onto HIS school and they will have no choice but to take action with the federal police... it is the law. At first, she tried to deny him doing anything of the sort, then she begged me to not take the photos to the school. If I was a teacher, I would HAVE to, by law, report it.
maybe not police unless the acts
school acts...exactly
take to the school.the schol should be made aware
exactly carlee
re: to deserve again
ty grey
Thanks - just found it and finished
yay gran!
*~*~*POMPOM TOSS*~*~*~for gran
on ya gran!
carlee... this day has just been shite! i am all for justice and peace and kids being safe... but feel I have failed today
i am having a bad day i guess
carlee, you on fb??
well sometimes the rest of the world has trouble keeping up with you... and unfortunately the wheels of justice turn at their own pace..as much as we as 1 person see the threat to a child as very serious way up their on the richter scale...there are other things that on the grand scale are seen as more serious
yeapers hun
I'm so proud of mrp - she is such a leader / carer / protector and really puts others before herself
and you should be proud of mr p lickety

hi neil!
Hi mrp! :)
Hi Neil
Hi hego!
Gonna get coffee... think it's just finished brewing. BRB.

Oh, sorry mrp. :( If I can see how, sure. [back with coffee]

I deleted the game, mrp. Just now.
It was still there when I went in.
thanks neil.
Ok, gotta think who to include in a multi.
thanks hun
Ok mrp, just started a new Lexulous Scrabble game with you, dcseain and featherbee. :)
excellent! great people!
They both love to play.
Yes. :)
i think I have some type of napalm jelly in my first word! LOL
Oh really?
does g+ have a chat option?
Morning all: how many words today and thanks
must be off to do chores and stuff. see you all la5!
151 steve
thanks lbd
No, Google has a chat messenger called 'Google Talk' that's built into Gmail, or you can download the standalone client [which I've done] here: http://www.google.com/talk/ The n you just sign in with your Gmail address and password and add you contacts by their Gmail addresses.
Ugh. 'then' even.
151 words today, stevedallas.
Oh sorry, lbdawger already gave you that. [I'm not awake yet.]
But you can't do conference [multi] chats on Google Talk, mrp. So I prefer MSN [Windows Live] messenger, because you can on there.
We all use that, mostly.
ah, haven't used msn in forever!
Oh, you have it? My sign in for that is the email on my profile.
Seain however, doesn't use MSN... he uses GT.
So if you install Google Talk and add him, you'll see him on there a lot.
i added him :)
Oh, ok. Did you add me?
I didn't get any add request yet.
You know my Gmail address, right? It's on the emails I sent you. It isn't the same as my player name.
I may have added you on there actually. Can't remember. Just signing into it now.
Looks like I hadn't done that. Just did now.
My goodness it looks like you never sleep either Neil. :P
Good morning!
howdy fauxmage,have not seen you before,as for your bio,do not worry about "normal" or what you wish do do with your life,normal is nothing but the majority trying to make you do the status quo,and many interesting people i know still do not know what they wish to be in life at 40..the most interesting people i know still do not know at 60:)
howdy car
Good morning car.eeyore.
Thank you crosshair.
and now by popular demand it is time once again for crossy,s tidbit of the day!
Despite its 6.5 million square feet of floor space, the Pentagon in Washington was constructed in such a way that no point in the building is more than seven minutes’ walk from any other point in the building.
depends how fast you walk I suppose and how often you get lost
well yes,depends if you use a jet powered skate board as well i would imagine
LOL! Thank you Crossy!
Do you post tidbits like this every day crosshair?
i do indeed faux
hi crossy and hi everybody-
howdy jbv
Boo Yah! Got a 9 right outta the gate!
Hi JBV!
Hi JBV.
yaa for car!
crossy, as someone who has been inside the Pentagon I can tell you that it is truly amazing - talk about getting lost in the maze of bureaucracy - it's an endless series of corridors
Hello Fauxmage & welcome!
crossy, I have a tidbit of my own today - from real life: (it will either make you laugh or scream):
and never ever go to the sub basements
then they sould use coloured stripes on the floor like in some hospitals
lay it on me jbv
aero
Hi Steve!
I bought an inexpensive pair of flip-flops yesterday, they were attached with one of those plastic thingies to keep the 2 together, and they had a little tiny hanger so they could hang on a hook int he store.....
sorry
Thank you car.eeyore.
hi car
so here's what it says on the label "For safety's sake, remove all of the plastic tag holders. These are not part of the item."
no kidding
The dumbing down of America continues...
I'm wearing them now, and yes, I cut off the plastic tag!
!!! had had a box of toothpicks once with a label on the back warning of choking hazards and not to put things in your mouth....
well, you just know that it probably was caused by some unfortunate accident by some really clueless idiot, so now they have to warn everybody
youre supposed to cut off the tags? I thought they hooked around your little toe!
LOL, steve! the hangers were really cute, though. I actually thought, "What could I use this for?"
that is the real scary part jbv,they warn you not to dry your baby in a microwave oven,cause at sometime,somewhere,somebody has done just that
OMG, that's not even funny
i have seen the label,no body parts in the oven
usually on the cheap wally mart equipment is where you see the most interesting labels
you're not going to believe this, but you just reminded me of a scene from the very deep past:
my grandfather who had very hairy arms used to singe off the hair in a quite practiced move over an open flame! quite entertaining for us kids
in chinglish,or mexilish,or some other thing that is almost readable
ugh@ the smell of burning hair
I know exactly what you mean, crossy, I kind of have a radar for those -inglish labels!
yep I'm smelling it right now :)
Oh my Pa used to run his finger through candle flames for us.
he was a real character - used to wow us by cracking a walnut between thumb and forefinger
I did it once and my nail polish caught on fire. :P
i had an argument while returing a padlock at a wally-mart last year.i looked at the banner behind the counter proclaiming 20% canadian product content and called her on it...
took me 20 minutes and i found a pencil made in canada
so i caught a floor manager next time and asked him about it and he said" well i know the floor tile for the store was bought local,and maybe some of the counter tops" !!!
... a bunch of their socks and underwear and tee-shirts are made by Gildan in Quebec ... but I can't think of much else
thanks for the tip, Fauxmage - maybe they should add a tag to candles: Do not run polished nails through the flame!
lol,you ladies have nothing on me,way way back,(when i was less brilliant than now), i once started a camp fire with naptha fuel!
have fun, everybody - I'm off to do a few things... see you later
Yeah. I shoulda sued. :P
Bye JBV!
tc jbv
Bye JBV.
good grief Crossy!
lol dose,they must of worked hard to get the 20%
I'm off too. Gonna go run.
... with the level of arithmetic skills around today ... I'll bet it wasn't that hard ...
...wonder if they count the human drones who work there as canadian content?...
Bye Faux!
Hi doseffing!
i was in a tight spot once and applied for a managerial position at the local store and was denied for being "over qualified"!
That has happened to me too Crossy.
... my wife was a project manager at Bell for thirty years ... and couldn't get a job at Tim's because she didn't have retail experience ..
their thinking is i will start and the second something better comes i will just vanish..well duh!
I need the D From the right side please?
lol dose!
... no ... you'll make the other employees nervous and they'll quit ... it's easier to replace one of you than thirty of them ...
Wow. That's absurd!
... as Alice said in Wonderland ..."This is getting curiouser and curiouser" ...
perhaps you are right dose,and they do not want people with new ideas,they want you to follow the company play book,no matter what it is
... that's it exactly ...
my dh didn't get a job as a firefighter once, because he scored too high on the exam
Hi rasta!
hi car
on the fancy app they have(8 pages and 2 interviews) they ask "what department would you change if you could?" i said "the pet dept,because generally people will not buy dead floating fish"..my second interview was as it turns out with the head of that dept!
... probably just as well ... ... they all die of cancer between 55 and 60 because of exposure to fumes from burning furniture and fabric coverings
OMG Crossy! Too funny!
i know it dose,i have been in the fuel business for 30 years and have had cancer 3 times..coincidence,i think not!
yes, in retrospect he was glad he didn't get it.
... hey ... both Ben and Jerry died of heart attacks in their early 60's caused by blocked arteries from too much product sampling and taste testing
lol what a way to go
... oh well ... stuck at 12 ... this will take paper and pencil and time ... that would be better spent on house and school things ... ... 'til later ...
i hope for 70,as a result of my treatments i have been told i WILL have a 10-20% chance of getting a new cancer totally unrealated to any other i have been treated for to date,so i say to hell with it and just enjoy life.but i did give up the smokes 10 years ago now
OK...NBT. I am off to clean and do laundry. Want to get it all in order before school starts tomorrow!
Um...Ben and Jerry are both still alive.
tc car and dose
Hi Molly....I thought that too!
yaa for ben and jerry! MORE ICE CREAM!
my boys first day back is today
You must be thinking of Burt Baskin & Irv Robbins
... quickly back ... ... my source was a TV programme on food problems ... but it might have been Michael Moore ... the person interviewed was I believe a nephew of one of them ... ... this would be about five or six years ago ... ... of course ... they could have been mistaken
I think they died early
tr
It might've been Tim Robbins they were interviewing
c
na
Ok the nephew is John Robbins. Burt Baskin died at 54 of a heart attack.
back again ... to say I was mistaken ... .. Wikipedia does have both Ben and Jerry alive ... ... Ben did have serious heart trouble about 10 years ago ... .. the reference was the documentary "Supersize me" ... the comment was from I believe the son of the founder of Baskin Robbins
lol back again,i see were are still doing ice cream:)
i have faith in junk food ,i mean if Col Saunders kicked off at 90,then i am in good shape:)
Col. Saunders was a vegetarian
mm that would explain it
he had a penchant for deep fried tofu though
extra crispy
wonder if he used his coating on the deep fried tofu?
lol
i managed a KFC years ago and the coating comes in unmarked brown 20kg bags
..took one home and made my own kfc:)
but it is the pressure fryer that is the secret,double lock ,remote basket drop 7.5 min
oh.. I've never had kfc.. I know people like it
it is not what it was when i did it in the 80,s
I bet
hello everybody
kinda looks greasy to me
the chicken quality sucks now,stringy vieny utility birds
((ruby)))
it gets greasy if the oil temp is wrong,or it is not changed for clean enough,or if the trays of finished chicken sit under the heat lamps too long
did you ever try blackberry jam on KFC? you'd think you died and went to heaven!
at that time we used to still do the onion ring bits in the coating
err,ruby,you know i love ya,but that sounds terrible
really, it's delish!
you can trust me, crossy, hehehe
68 left and not even nbt!
right-hand d has me stuck
to fear something ruby
slap me with a fish and thanks ruru
I dr5 telling you that is a fishy word
hello folks
{{river}}
How are you ((Ruby))
enjoying wonderful weather and still picking fruit. This is a lovely part of the world!
but worried about son in Austin because of the fires
good for you
is NH all dried out?
I didn't know NH was an alcoholic...wow
uh oh, thumper is afoot! see you later
not yet ruby...still many roads gone in the north. Vermont got hit much worse than we did.....
gotta love ruru
major roads are still unpassable....people getting food brought in by helicopter....no drinking water in while towns....its very sad
*whole
wow river
its been depressing talking with these folks that have lost everything. their homes completely under water just barely seeing the roof top and no flood insurance
who would have thought to get flood insurance up there?
unless you are on a creek or a river
lots of small brooks and streams became rushing rivers
yeah I saw on the news.. it's pretty bad up there.
I have friends in Vermont.
hopefully they are not in those bad areas
they are around Burlington and Chester
not so bad there
hi all, have the an8 help with other 8's pls
I haven't been able to reach them by phone..
raining here
I have ni 8 peri

making a list of food pantries in the tri county area for those who live no where near here but keep coming to the food pantry where I volunteer

re + trick or ***** + the one who does
thank you and I had the base word already, duh
widh I did not have to have the cat litter boxes up here :(
wish even
bl
River, how did you do with irene? We're okay and got power back the next day
Hi peri, ruby and everyone else here
Lee is visiting us now.
Hi bichon. TV not working.
Hello, bichon, good morning/afternoon all.
I don't think Kati is going to hit the east coast
Hi Haz
*Katia
we were fine bichon - only lost power for 3 hours in the afternoon. We live on a big hill so no issues with water
as of this morning it sounded like Kati was going back out to sea
You're so luck you lost power for such a short time. We were out that entire day and night. Booooring. But no trees fell on our property, so that's good
*stealth hugs on the way to gettting "something" done about the pre-school year clutter...*.
my driveway looked like a war zone of leaves and small branches but nothing a leaf blower couldnt take care of
Something involving bin bags?
I must go - busy here at work today
Bye, River.
hi again all, short break between class and student coming in
hi sue. How are things with you?
Hi All back again
Hope it's nothing I said. lol
I don't think so.
Hi Haz
Hello, hego. I've got one eye here and another on other things.
I guess we all do that.
the street is flooed at the end of our driveway!! my sister is on her way home. I tried to see if leaves were clogging the grates but it is pouring!
flooded even
no water in basement tho
Stay dry Peri
I will go out later once the rain eases up. I am so tired of being responsible. can I have a do over?
YUP!
doing the best I can,had on boots, rain hat and raincoat.
ty hego. I want to be carefree and worrifree
Me too!
That's the down side of being an adult.
what are these it 7's?
it7 - one ends in a cross tirade
Hmmm...
The other ends in a measurement of speed or water flow perhaps.
I am the one who does most of the shoveling and ice chopping in the winter too! sometimes I wish I was stil living in an apartment. but then I would have financial problems. so it is a trade off
ty Haz
You're welcome, hego.
I remember all your shoveling Peri
*sigh* got tendonitis in my left wrist because of it and had to have minor surgery
bil is thinking of getting a snow blower but we have nowhere to store it
OH! gosh.
I'm off to the kitchen. Bye for now!
small shed maybe
really want to move somewhere warm where there are no hurricanes or tornadoes
bye Haz
the shed we have is too small I think.
And where would that be?
not sure, any suggestions
Not really
near or at a beach would be nice
ok, need to check on drains, rain seems to have let up. bbl
Those it's feel like they have a syllable missing.
Hi Hego,Peri and whoever else I missed
Sorry for the server burp. The "words" database became corrupted. I hope not too much damage was done (if any).
My word list looks fine (although still incomplete!)
good afternoon all
Afternoon!
thanks for catching and correcting, it Dr God
hello, everyone
Hello! And bye for now!
hasta, gwenski
hello everybody
ok, real life interrupted my babbling, but it sounds like babble interrupted itself too - glad I missed it :-)
red boxes!
hi, kap!
iter
excuse me.
Nope. I try that one every time.
By now it should become a word.
fireworks - last word was er6/21 - sexy
yay, river!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
congrats river - thnx for er 6
incidentally, river, how are you doing flood-wise?
we are fine Sue - live on a big hill so no issues with flooding. Our neighbor Vermont got hit real hard...still many unpassable roads, no power, no drinkable water....its just terrible there
any clues needed before I get back to work/
well, I am glad you are ok, river! My home state of New Jersey also got hit pretty hard (although nothing like Vermont) but my dad lives on a big hill too :-)
oh, and any hints for the lone D?
Hi River
is that the one in the right collumn?
yes, river
I dr5 to tell you that will cause you a fish slap
so it does. sigh. I was trying to find a di word and coming up empty.
I did the same thing
I think I tried every combination before giving up and going the other way
I mean, who's to say that didar isn't a unit of currency somewhere? Or some ancient Scots word?
makes sense to me
did you get the 9's yet?
Medics- anyone ever get a bump on the back of their neck near hairline that potentially comes from a muscle injury?
I have one of them (the person who gives up the battle)
stats on the 9's?\
All 9's are re
I have had some pretty good knots back there Kap
re9/60 fire resistant
one about the size of a p?
re9/60 not so nice a word for a mentally challenged person
pea?
mine are definately muscle related knots from tension/stress - not little like that
I must get back to work - have a great day everyone
kap, my neck is basically totally messed up so I may not be much help, but is this bump off to the side, where the tendons are, or right in the middle where the vertebrae are? (or somewhere else?)
c
dr
sue, do you have tingling in your fingers?or anything like that?
I do, snags, and it isn't going to go away, but I was trying to answer kap's question
(I've already had three fusions)
crossy has 3 herniated neck disks and shares your pain
the worst initially,is the tingling and pulling sensations in the arms or legs,it can become quite umberable
hi, crossy!
howdy sue:))
ah, for me it was quite intense pain, I had some nerves that were seriously crimped
i was lucky sue,mine atrophied somewhat and it is bearable,but i was told not go go under the knife unless i was reduced to crawling on my hands and knees
and a friend of mine was in similar situation,he went for the operation and now uses 2 canes full time,so i wait and watch
once they start messing round in that spinal cord,anything can happen
well, I was in so much pain that I couldn't really function, and bone spurs were starting to compress my spinal cord (the skin on my chest was starting to go numb), so I didn't have much choice. All three surgeries have been very successful.
no,you were at the do or die point
I do have a bit of trouble walking (well, mostly I can't run) but that is due to knee replacements
((poor sue))
i find that when i am really tired the numbness in the arms creeps back and my left foot turns outward,but i am holding my own
not a big deal, it's all mechanical problems :-)
but still cannot catch the 25 year old college hotties:(((
me either :-)
lol
we get older and they all stay 25 eh sue? lol
now they call me "sir" and ask if i need help getting my things to my car:(
if i flirt they pat me on the head,turn to their friend and say "isn,t he cute"
indeed - I used to get some rude comments on my teacher evaluations when I was younger, but not any more...
or "your are like the father i never had" father?? father?!..."but i am only..err..well only..let me see,i knew how old i was just yesterday"
"wait my age may be here on my medic alert bracelet!"...sigh nm,the only thing it says is 20-40 year old women:(
hehe
lol,i dragged saide out of lurk mode! howdy sadie!
hi, sadie!
rofl hiya crosshair
hiya sue
ha, now I am the age of my students' grandparents :-(
you over 40 saide? i have to watch it.one look from a under 40 and i could be laying on the floor gasping like a fish...
oh yea i have a 37 yea old child who had the audacity to grow up andmake me grow up lol
whew!
lolol
and a 28 year old daughter who had thenerve the other day to tell me she was getting old lolol
i will never grow up:)
im still fighting growin up now i figure kids are raised im on my own i can go back to being a kid hehe
Evening all
hi, kaytee!
Big wave to Crossy - how are you?
evening Kaytee
How's everyone doing on the grid tonight?
my inner child will always drag you down to the beach to show you the multi-colourd glass bits all smooth with time and tide,i will show you how to skip a stone on the water more than ten times,i will walk my darling in the forest this fall and laugh as we tilt our faces upwards into the mottled light from the tree canopy and catch a leaf as it falls,i will bring you to a secret forest river to hear it,s secret chuckling language as it dances over the stones and down it,s course to the bay...cough..time for crossy,s meds again..brb
oh sorry - it's not night there, is it? lol
((((kaytee))))
3:06 pm here kaytee
I am on babble time :-)
oooh, I'm quite overcome by such a lovely response, Crossy, hehe
21:07 here .. definitely night
lol,i do not see you often kaytee
Crossy, I've been too stupid to complete the grid for some months now. My mind is too distracted, so I don't hang around as much as I did before
there is no such thing as stupid
I couldn't think of an English word for what we call being 'doff'
the only thing that i know that is stupid,is never doing something you want to do,or a question that is never asked
I do quite a lot that I want to do lately - but still have to do too many things that I definitely DON'T want to do, lol
well see? every day you must remove from your life 1 thing no matter how small that you do not wish to do,till eventually all that is left is the good stuff:)
we have a older work in our language called doff,victorian era etc= to remove ones hat at in "to doff you hat to a young lady passing by"
word
Sounds like a good plan. But working for a living is still a necessary evil
gee thats a good way to get to the good life
yea..must get rid of that work thing myself...
Oh, I know the English doff. Our slang is pronounced slightly differently
There has been so much happening in my life I think I must have managed to get rid of a few things I didn't like. But have also taken on some that I don't really wish to do - such is life
hmmpf. My mouse seems to have realized that yesterday's theme was mouse pads, and is refusing to work properly without one; which wouldn't be a problem if I had one. Which I don't.
cest la vis
use the back of a hard cover book sue-sans dust jacket
lol @ sue - use a magazine
switching out the batteries (not for new ones, just put the old ones back in) seemed to help. Am now using a file folder (green) which also seems to help.
thx, all :-)
:)
babble,you handy wellspring of knowledge
anyway, gotta write homework solutions, bbl
ciao sue
tc suze
How are you doing with the grid, Crossy?
Any clue for er6/21. Thanks.
first half is a breeze but am slowing down now kaytee
er 6/21 - sexy
I have only managed 78 words and I've hit a brick wall
er 6/18 - make a mistake with a little insect
Ohhhhhhh. Tx wv
ty kaytee
lol, bit cryptic - not that anyone asked for that clue, I just liked it :)
a knight er6 indeed :) ar6 is similar
hello, kaytee, teach, cross, and kenny
hi dcseain
hi dc
thnx for ar6
ah, thanks dc
and, there's the elementary school getting home. Schools opened here today.
my younger nephew started Kindergarten, wonder how it went.
granddaughter started middle of Aug - loved it, but got a note home saying she talks too much
Kids went back to school today here as well, after the winter break
how long is winter break there?
here, they get 1-2 weeks in Dec/Jan
trick or tr7s come on 31 Oct :)
I think this was a 3 week break. They get about 6 weeks at the end of the year.
ah, so you have a longer school year than is usual here, which i think is a good thing.
I'm guessing - don't have any school-going kids so I've lost touch with school holidays. Only notice the difference in traffic
that is, i favor a longer school year
howdy dc
Yes, your kids have months off over your summer, don't they?
they do. it sucked.
here,they were tossing around the ideas of year long schooling or a 10:00 am to 4 :00 pm schedule so the high school darling would not be so traumatized getting up early in the morn
I just can't figure out what you do with your kids over such a long time. Can you take that much leave from work?
through my 5th year of school, we never got more than 5 weeks off at a time.
10 to 4? That's not a day!
No, people enroll kids in childcare, day camps, sleep over camps, the kids play outside insofar as the heat and humidity allow, they spend hours at the pool...
my HS has an 8-4 day, and did when i was there, too.
Expensive either way. I'm glad our breaks are so much shorter! It's not safe to let kids go out and do their own thing here.
my son was blessed,he had 4 years of horse summer camp.2 weeks in july and 2 weeks in auguast.when i was a child,i had to fend for myself lol
around here, HS is usually 7-2, MS 8-3, and ES 8:30 or 9 to 3:30 or 4.
Crossy, when we were kids it was safe to fend for yourself. Not anymore
My daughter would have thought she'd died and gone to heaven if she could have had 4 weeks of horse camp!
we used to spend weeks hiking at the local national park with a park ranger or two guiding us, a group of about 25 6-13 year olds
here the h.s is now 8:00 am to 3:00 pm and a single lunch for all,they eliminated the split lunch times
you are right kaytee,and my som was very lucky to get horse camp
i spent several summers in summer school in orchestra. that was much fun.
400 dollars for each 2 week visit
that's very reasonably priced
they get boys and girls bunkhouses and all the fod they can eat,swimming ock climbing,arhery et etc
The biggest problem for working mothers here is the December holidays - day care and after school centres all close for the silly season.
food
rock
archery
lol
darn
my fat fingers
finger trouble?
my one hand is almost the size of the keybard,makes it hard
*takes platter of snacks to the PB for crossy
hi everyone!
6ft 2 240 pounds,my fists are the size of a canned ham lol
hi lb
hi kaytee
howdy lbd
hi lb
Are you using a laptop, Crossy?
hi crossy, hi DC
no,my desk rig
lappys are very,very hard for me
here, in the city, centers open specifically to provide free lunches for the kids.
You need a lap. lol
Then your keyboard is already as big as it's going to get, lol
Hi All.
We're lucky to have a regional network of Police Boys and Girl Clubs that give them somewhere semi-structured to go with supervision
Why would the kids be in the city to start with?
hi hego
hi hego
we also have a free breakfast program at the schools dc,that way a child can always grab a bowl of cerial and a piece of fruit before first class
they live there
.. other than homeless kids, that is
we have ~600k people that in the center city
yes, we have free/reduced breakfasts in the schools too.
we have over 1.5 million in the toronto area kaytee,but i am far north of that mess
Our inner city is mainly populated by homeless people, squatters and illegal immigrants - and the Nigerian druglords of course
also, we have a complex of free museums in the middle of the city that some kids hang out in during breaks
This is silly. I'm just typing in words with lots of r's, t's, and e's.
lol hego,that is what i am doinbg right now
me too, hego :) do you have the sodium ci7?
welcome to the grid hego. it's a tricky one
it uses several of those letters
yes, Seain
I remember catching a bus from a hotel near the airport in Toronto and travelling to some large shopping centre. It was very clean in the city then, compared to home
figured you did :)
there are a pair of it 7,s that use em as well
Canada is freakishly clean
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is the dirtiest city i have yet visited, on the other hand
we think of toronto as a garbage dump compared to what we are used to kaytee,but they have serveral world renound hospitals
lol dc
Apart from the suspect weather, the main thing I didn't like about Toronto was how difficult it was for a tourist to get decent food.
what can i tell you dc,we hate a messy street
Montreal is about food :)
what kind of food were you looking for, kaytee?
good thing about the weather here kaytee,is that if you do not like the current weather just wait 15 minutes and you will get something different:)
lb - anything with vegetables!
Vegetarian food is harder the further North you go, but on the West Coast it's easy to find.
ahhh, must have been there before or after harvest.
here for vegitarian food you must seek out the indian or thai places
but at harvest time we are awash in fresh veggies
italian is good too, if you eat cheese
I'm not vegetarian, I just wanted vegetables. Got so tired of pizza and other junk food
that's why i said after harvest...when everything is already sent off or processed
ah, gotcha.
our corn and apples and taters are now coming out of the fields,3 weeks ago there were baskets of peaches so juicy you had to eat them outside or over the sink;)
when my niece first moved to DC's ar4, she said the same thing...had to really scrounge for fresh veggies
the cabbages and lettuce are due out soon as well
having grown up here, never had a problem, though it's gotten easier since the mid-80s
Why is retar not a word???
i love cabbage
it doesn't take retin either, who knows
all the berries were last month as well as beans peas etc
i tried it too, Hego
It was actually about this time of year that we were there. My daughter was about 4 at the time and didn't like anything except pizza and an amazing flavour ice cream we discovered
won't take reta4, as a scale, either
put a d on the end hego
sounds logical
which flavour was that?
I had that Crossy, tx
lovely flower, hego
you needed a guide kaytee,to show you all the marvelous food we have to offer
cool, love the zebra, kaytee :)
dc, I think it was praline. I'd never tasted (or even heard of) it, but absolutely loved it
ty Seain
finding the farmers markets are key too!
like in motreal go a a nice smoked meat place for a massive sandwich with coleslaw and a kosher picle
you'd probably like butter pecan then also, kaytee
crossy, clearly - but my husband was working with Wardair so I just had to muck around on my own, finding buses and stuff
dc, sounds delicious
well nest time you are here,come up to crossy,s and we will show you all the good stuff
when i think of pralines, i think of the south, specifically New Orleans
lol @ crossy - there won't be a next time. He's now my ex husband and no longer works for an airline anyway
http://tinyurl.com/4xtcffw is a recipe for better pecan ice cream, from making the pecans through the custard
:((
hi again all, still writing homework solutions but can't stay away from babble :-)
What is a praline, anyway?
praline and butter pecan are popular in the Great Lakes and the South
hey lbd....
Hi UU
maple walnut.butterscotch ripple,tiger stripe,mint chip..mmmm
hi shoo
Hi to everyone else too
howdy shoo
a praline is a carmelized pecan
lets skype.
hi shooshoo
hi
hi, lbd, shoo, and everyone
pralines, pecans and lots of hardened caramel
k
wb sue
hi sue and shooo
howdy
wow . . . . just watched "Hanna" -- really gooood!!
so praline isn't a nut, it's a process?
pralines . . . YUM
correct, kaytee
i'm on skype, waiting for you to sign in, shoo
hi, une
lbd..you call me..i tried you a few mins ago..and no luck.
skype rocks:)
praline is a candy and praline with accent on the e is a flavor
ha - just got past halfway. Better go back to writing. Will be in and out.
pralines are a candy, Kaytee
have fun, sue
I haven't Skyped for months
pralines have pecans and carmelised sugar.
hey, seain :-)
shoo, skype say's you aren't online
dark brown sugar . . . mmmm
and, like meringues, you can't really make them on a really humid day . . . they won't "set"
Oh goody, food porn!
That butter pecan ice cream recipe looks lovely - don't have an ice cream maker though
yes, today is a bad day for meringues, pralines and fudge here. it's raining
Baskin Robbins used to have a very tasty pralines and cream flavor . . .
you can still make the pecans and eat them plain, or with some whipped cream :)
true, seain LOL!!!!
Yum :-9
toasted sugared pecans YUM!!
kaytee you do not need a machine,just 2 large pots ,some ice and some salt
What does an ice cream machine do?
crossy, and how do you use them?
Crossy is low tech. : )
it chills and stirs the ice cream, So, fill a large pot with ice and salt, set a smaller pot in, and stir, stir, stir
we used to have a hand-cranked ice cream machine :-)
use kosher salt, aka rock salt, not table salt
hego, I don't think I even know anyone who has an ice cream maker - that's an unmentionable luxury!
i have an electric one that uses ice and salt for the chilling.
make sure one pot is 2 inches in diameter smaller than the other,place it inside the larger,fill the space between with ice and sprinkle salt over the ice..now for all ice cream you start with a base of 2 part milk to 1 part cream and then either glucose,honey or liquid sugar,then you add your flavorings...
I have 2 actually.
there used to be a tearoom here in NashVegas where an elderly black gentleman sat on the front porch hand cranking ice cream . . .
thanks dc - can I use an electric beater to stir?
shades of "The Help"
But thay are very inexpensive ones.
best to scrape by hand with large wooden spatula
yes you can, kaytee, be sure to get into the corners, may want a rubber spatula also
yes, wood works too :)
When I've made ice cream before, I've just mixed it up and stuck it in the freezer
seain, you've got me salivating for homemade ice cream!!
Hey! Hi Une.
always 2 parts milk,1 part cream and berries must be fresh,or a nice butterscotch sauce
hey, hego :-)
i go to a 4-day camping event early each summer where we make 60 or 70 flavors :)
my mom first made a custard cream . . .
OMG, how fabulous!!
a 4-day ice cream camp? wow
if put in freezer, stirring periodically, you get gelato, which is Italian ice cream
you can also use corn syrup rather than glucose
I start with cooked custard.
How does gelato differ from regular ice cream?
It's more of a gelato.
gelato isn't as smooth
i've made custard-based, sherbet-based, and non-custard based, all successfully
Snap!
hego does the real deal!!
a tradiation gelato is more like flavoured ice,like limone or spomone
corn syrup? glucose? wow, your ice cream is obviously different to ours
Kay, gelato is custard based and lower in buttercream.
eh, chocolate, strawberry, whole rainbow of flavors
those are but options kaytee,i use raw sugar cane and melt it in a doubble boiler
thanks hego
corn syrup and/or glucose is not required, all depends on the texture you're seeking.
my grandmother used to make peach ice cream (Lousiana) with those huge juicy summer peaches . . .
That's why the flavers are more intense.
Uh, flavors.
lol @ dc - I don't know if I've ever seen corn syrup in the shops
peach ice cream is a nice light refreshing mix
NO corn syrup!
you can substitute kaytee
i never use corn syrup, aka karo syrup
i do sometimes put in a bit of lyle's golden syrup
but it's required for a good pecan pie! LOL
we are not locked into corn syrup here my friends lol
just an option
ah yes
yes it is, une :)
crossy, I'd have to substitute half the ingredients, most american recipes are like a foreign language to me. And the Australian ones are even worse
my friend's mother makes a wonderful chocolat pecan pie
well you know dem aussies..:)
ah, I DO know Lyles golden syrup!
i made some for my mom's caregivers, seain, and they loved it BUT they preferred the traditional Karo syrup recipe :-)
(the choc. pecan pie)
you could even use molasas i suppose,but it may be too intense
pecan pie w/out corn syrup is good, but not at all the same.
Treacle!
ah, i lke the chocolate pecan better myself
true!
mailman just came -- back in a mo *poof*
treacle indeed!
mmmm treacle even better than golden syrup as sub for cornsyrup, good call, neil
the food porn is nearing orgasmic levels now!
now for the toppings on the ice cream
I can't even imagine what corn syrup must be .. didn't know there was any sweetness in a corn plant
You trying to make me laugh Neazle?
lol much of our refined sure here kaytee comes from beets
I think it's time for bed, have to go to work tomorrow
Crossy is the king of food porn. :-D
corn syrup is concentrated fructose derived from corn.
sugar
G'nite Kay

Could be, Poundcake. ;)
sleep well, kaytee

i am so sorry carlee;(
thanks teach
Oh, Carlee, I'm so sorry.
hi lll. the street was flooded at the bottom of the driveway so I went there and cleared off the leaves with my bare hands. and what did my dear sis say: You didn't have to do that. WTF. the water was has high as the curb and it has been raining off and on all day. may still have to go out one more time to clear off the leaves. water is still gushing into the grate so no prob at the moment
i have a couple more options...i will try those tomorrow
you aunts money would be better used to pay all your schooling now,not getting it 20 or 30 years from now,there is much to be said in the favour of a living inheritance
sorry to hear, carlee
and peri, i think it's good to clear the leaves now.
hope that those options can work out for you
<carlee falls over in a faint> peri said WTF?
well tell you sis peri,that if we all did nothing,then nothing would get done;)
Yes, you have to get the leaves out of there right away, geez.
oh..she is pulling out of investments crossy...
I just wish I was ot so responswible. but my bil does not come home ti about 11 pm and I do not want keep to have trouble getting into the driveway
makes sense, peri :)
sorry to hear that, carlee, hope those options work out for you.
anyway...i saw my lucky charm today..so am sure one of my options will work tomorrow...
Aww. That is cute, crossy. Wonder if I can find some art that will work in here... or make some?
it seems it will have to be small scale neil
am off for a nap...my brain on stress overload
have a good nap carlee
Carlee, why will you not profit from the sale of the house?
Oops, she's gone.
Hi Molly
Hi Hego.

Yes crossy. Gonna try some small ones.
Good things come in small packages?
One who does the action of re7,28 before it.
just wish the rain would lessen up. want to do the leaves before it gets dark and also my boots are not waterproof
ah, I don't have the re7 before it...
Peri, it's been pouring all day here too.
Glant, it's the guy who leaves the battlefield

I don't even want to think what Crossy's last guy is doing.
I hope it's golf. lol
If you copy what crossy is pasting in here, then paste it into a Windows' Notepad, you can see it how it should look.
I like to leave it to the imagination.

re the post codes.
for instance mine is L9Y4C1..lets see who can find where i live first:)
post codes in my part of Virginia changed some years ago, and for a coupe years computers thought we lived in Maryland because we got assigned 201XX, that made for some odd addresses for a bit.

Well not right now, because I'm visiting in the cesspit that is LA at present. North Hollywood though... not too bad here.

Yes, m9. Watching the sea lions play. Terrible.

o + slang for womans mammary + a little less rain would be n**e
it expands the ot4
:-)
thanks for the o
it's weirdly chilly as well as rainy here today.
our high was 63! a good 15F cooler than usual
Hi westford.
seems more like Nov
Thank you for the ot6/21 clues. I just found the word
na6? Promise that'll be my last request for clues.
Enjoy the cool weather, Seain.
O's Obliterated! 4 left
yes, like early Nov, true, west
Must be nice after all that heat and humidity?
I don't mind chilly, I just don't like wet and chilly
well, we should still have heat and humidity :) so i guess it is a nice break
na 6/18 rhymes w/an Alice in Wonderland character the Mad H***** pigeonman.
I love chilly. You can dress for it. When it's sweltering hot and humid, not much you can do except stay in the A/C.
i opened windows today to air out the house :)
arete
Oops! Sorry!
50 degrees in RI rainy and must be humid too because it is sooooo chilly
Yes Seain, enjoy it. After spending the entire spring in various parts of East Asia, I appreciate cool temps more than ever!
Oh man. I get that word all the time. Thanks
brrrr, lady biotch
hi lady I'm up in Maine now
sounds about the same
did you move, or are you on holiday, west?
I even have that word already! Was trying to start a story of clues and forgot I was still in the chat log. I'll write the story of clues from the Penalty Box today.
good thing I got oil last week because the first feel of fall and the prices will spike
Lady Biotch, do you know saintfranny? Another Babbler from your State.
Smart thinking there.
we have a place in Ogunquit seain came up here when we lost power now getting ready to close up
yes, topping off in the Summer is often a good idea

Hi Minver :)
Here is my story of clues for you to re4/5 for today's da4/5: September 6, 2011. I know that it is ea 4/4y, but I dr5/14 Halloween. I would ra 4/4 Halloween one of the worst holidays. I feel like my enti4/4 October ea4/4ings go towards candy. We have many ea5/10s of Halloween candy in my neighborhood. My husband likes Halloween. He likes to see teenage girls wearing er6/21 costumes.Halloween seems to last forever. It seems trick-or-tr7/28 come la5/10 and la5/10 every year. It's ra 4/4 to get less than 50 children. I wish I could be a re9/54 and re7/28 into the basement and pretend that I am not home. Da 4/5! Time to ro 6/18 the laptop.Husband wants it.How da4/5 he interrupt my babbling time! I have it7/28d to him several times to wait 'til I have found all the words before he takes the computer. But he does not care one io4/4 if I am babbling or not. He will become a ra 5/10 and ra 4/4 and rave and cause a ri 4/4 if I don't give him laptop. I tell him,there is no need for him to be a ri 6/18, it's just a laptop. He is a re4/4 pain in the re4/4! Well at least I got to be a na8/40 and na7/28 a story today. I am going to te 4/4 my eyes off this grid and da 4/5 outta here.I am going to go watch the movie Flowers in the At5/12 or the movie Ti5/12 for the rest of the ni 4/4. Ni5/10s all! I will see you tomorrow.
hey all :-)

Hello periwinkle! How are you doing? Welcome to grid.
sexy costumes bichon
pretty flower bichon
It's m Japanese Iris peri
By the way,hubby is not a pervert and we do not get any teenage girls wearing sexy costumes 'round here
Sure, Minver
LOL, Mincwe, Glad you cleared that up
wow min.. I am SO not following that clue..
*Minver
I was wondering about the young girls in er6 costumes.
Clue for which word?
for the 1st NI 7
Everyone here has suddenly woken up
ni 7.32...there is ***otine in cigarettes + Sharon **** was killed by the Manson group
Like the word for narrating a letter while someone writes or types it.
ahh.. got it.. that other clue makes much more sense now.. lol
The rest of the word is the same.
I haven't had time to play in a while. It's always fun to come back
Good to see you here Bich.
Hi bichon.
Stories are usually half false & half true.Half false so I can get my clues into the story. Also hubby does not cause tantrums over computer.Sometimes he will get annoyed, but I totally exagerate for story purposes.
Hi negative. Where in CA are you?
I knew the4y were just stories Min. really appreciate them
hi all
hey jmc
is it raining where you are, jmc?
goodness what a long story min! no wonder everyone is quiet
hi jmc
it is very much raining where i am in virginia
how is your house holding up, jmc?
i don't actually know peri because i am away for the week at school and my son waterlogged his phone
oh, ok
Oh plenty of rain at the homestead JMC. And more to come all week long.
i am pretending it is in fine shape for the time being
sorry about the phone tho
good thinking
I had to clear the drains at the base of the driveway twice today
put it in his bathing suit pocket mindlessly and got in a hottub
geez, jmc
he seems to think i will replace it
down to one.. anyone need clues while I'm still here?
why would he think that?
go lbuxx go!
2nd ar6/18 pls
i think it is wishful thinking on his part
if you're late on your rent.. you're in ar***s

Offspring are full of wishful thinking.
yep

yay for ibuxx
congrats, ibuxx
whoo hooo lbuxx
at6 pls
thanks.. this grid was pretty hard
I remember when my kids were younger and wanted to go to McDonald's and I told them I didn't have any money. The response? Go to the bank and get some then. If only it were that simple.

Hi jmc.
And whoever else is here.
hey neil
How's it going there?
it is dampish--flash flood warnings
Yikes. Hope that doesn't happen... or if so, hope it doesn't amount to too much.
i was soaked on the way home
well i am staying put until thurs morn and am on the side of a mountain so i think i will be okay
i think i may have to give in and get a pair of those rubber boots
texas is burning and the ent*** east coast is soaked
Oh yes jmc, that should help.
if only we can do weather magic
We need Stephano DiMeara's Weather Machine
we need to average the countries weather across the country
And right here in BC we're having a sunny summer at last so I'm off for a swim in the sea!

hello, fellow Illinois...ian? What do we call ourselves? (Only been here less than 3 months.)
hi, gremlinn! I've been here 23 years and I am not sure either :-)
hi grem.
I have seen Illinoisan but it seems contrived.
probably something weird, like Indiana and hoosiers.
hi m9
hi, m9!
Illinoise sounds good
well the University of Illinois football team is called the Illini, although I think Chief Illiniwek has been retired at the request of Native Americans
(ill-ih-nwahz)? Like Francoise.
or one could just pronounce Illinois as though it were French (hello! I am an Illinois!)
snap, gremlinn!
hehe
I read someone say to call them illannoyance. :)
works for me, m9 :-)
Hello. Just coming on board. How are you all today? Survived Labor Day?
hi,gmere!
Hi uu.
I'm a guy - I can't really celebrate Labor Day...properly.
Well, laborless day then for you gremlinn.
we went for a long hike in the arboretum (gremlinn - mortonarb.org in the western suburbs of Chicago, amazingly nice)
cool - I have yet to even go on any significant road trip yet - I figure I have to check out Chicago sooner or later
you should also check out Starved Rock State Park, it is a little closer to you
http://www.starvedrockstatepark.org/
it has actual cliffs, something of a rarity in Illinois
an8?
hmm 120 miles away

I heard there were some cool caves to check out somewhere in driving distance too
an8 picnic pest + muncher

hi, lbd!
I think it was somewhere south or east
and of course one can spend LOTS of time in Chicago, it is an amazing city
duh, thx uusue
Dawg, love the latest Maxine. Who knew she was a philosopher? : )
labor day celebrates those people who brought you the 5 day work week and the 8 hour workday among other things
can they hurry up and make it a 4 day work week?

okay i just swung in to stick up for laborers and unions bbl
ci7 the first...you live in a ***y or town + a dict**** is a powerful leader
I dreamed I saw joe Hill last night, alive as he could be....
but can you sing it like joan b?
thx molly
je is your house back together again? hope it is not reaining there like here
: ) You're welcome Shirl.
not quite, doren, but I do sing....
TO, I think JMC took a break. It's pouring here.
pouring here.. all day long... the rivers are al ready to overflow again
I saw that on the weather; I assume my dad is still fine, there on the top of the hill...
Sue, you're in a choir or chorus, right?
two of them actually, molly
sorry to hear, streams beginning to flood here hours ago. drive to work will be awful
oh, that was aimed at jmc, who said she could sing it. i mean, all of us old 60's folks can sing it, but Joan was the owner of that song in my mind
I sing with our church choir (UU) and with a women's chorus called Bread and Roses
Good for you Sue. That must be a nice break in your busy life.
and she can still sing
it is, molly!
she sure can, owl
doren i spent weekend working at jam band festival. we were so much more hippie like than that jam crowd now
owl, the word hippie was coined for our generation, of course
tattos and dr5s and sillinwss but bands were good on the whole. a review actually cited small crowd because of rain and our promotoer said "it raines at woodstock didn;t it/"
kids' first day of school was today.... bedlam with all that rain and mistakes in the schedules and messed up bussing, etc etc
it did indeed, TO! I was there...
i'll bet.
well yah, it rained at woodstock, but woodstock was woodstock!!!! a unique mind-blowing event
music festivals aren't the be-ins now, cause they're all over the place, all the time
i agree
hello to all the flower people ;)
hey jbv, how are you?
Peace V
hi, jbv! not flooded, I hope?
how are you holding up?
hey, doren, I had a very very NICE first day of school - had lunch with 5 of my former colleagues - ALL retired like me, thinking of you all :)
oh, no, Irene fortunately did no major damage here, we're ok, how about you all?
when does your Italian class start, jbv?
Glad to hear you had a good first day JBV.
Italian class is tomorrow, I'm nervous like a little kid
getting hairy here
great idea... the retirees from wanaque have a lunch group once a month at a local restaurant. nice idea. our first day was hectic, but personally i feel like it's going to be a onderful year
and Molly, only kidding about the first day - I'm NOT WORKING! (sorry to rub it in, but it definitely felt good today)
you going to be ok, TO?
too bad about rain on the first day, though
TO what's happening a lot of rain?
hairy how owl? rain? flooding? I only got home around 7 pm (lots of work to do) and a relatively main street here was flooded that I haven't seen in the 32 years i've lived here
we shall see, i am on the second floor :)
Oh, I thought it was your first day of Italian class JBV. Hope that is good for you.
oh, thanks, Molly - I'll let you know
the worst thing about Rutgers is the parking - I was given a pass for free parking (remember I'm a senior citizen!) but the available lots are very few - either that or a very long walk from the building where my class is
i am thinking of taking spanish, i was once pretty good at it. i think classes begin next week in adult school
and it's much worse in the rain jbv... i remember my daughter graduated from there on a rainy day... I ruined a beautiful relatively new pair of shoes
parking at universities is always horrible
JBV needs a Vespa. : )
should be fun, TO -
jbv do you get free tuition? e must be 65for that
do it owl!
ooo moll, very apropos!
hmm, a Vespa, [thinking about it]
only 62 here , TO
and they never asked me for proof, I just filled out a form and that was it
yes, free tuition, it's a great deal
that's me next year... the other good thing is the national parks free pass
what is the criteria?
Dorens, those footzyroll shoes are a great way to keep from ruining your shoes in bad weather.
age 62
now she tells me!!
I just went online, found the application
http://ur.rutgers.edu/community/pdf/nb -auditor-packet.pdf
and that was it
oh heck i cannot keep up with youse ;)
jbv are you in union cty?
I just got the L.L. Bean catalog and they have the cutest rain shoes - all colors -
JBV, I think it's just the style. Think of it, long flowing scarf...tres chic. : )
no, TO, I live in East Brunswick - it's only about 4 miles to Rutgers, but all highway, so a bicycle (or Vespa) is out of the question
union county fair is upcoming in 2 weeks, i went last year, nice
nice dream, Molly -
Ah well, I'll just hope you get a close parking space then.
* like molly's image of jbv*
just don't do an Isadora Duncan
she is fre, and a free spirit as well
an8 clue please?
and why sholdn't she do isadora?
aardvark
large animal that consumes picnic pests, ruru
Scarf caught in the wheel and she hung herself instantly. Very dead.
he meant about the scarf, doren -
b/c isadora strangled when her scarf got caught in (a car wheel or something)
oooh, forgot about that. sorry
thank you
<---one step ahead of doren....lol
ha i just accidentally pasted my word list into chat
gee, TO, you should have hit enter!
:P and i had all but 19
ci 7 # 1 ?
one who quotes other works. ruru
rhymes with like a crocodile
didn't see it owl, might have liked a peek
ci + don't tear your ro***** cuff too Ru
thank you both for that one
oh thanks for that cheery thought molly
low blow molly
did everyone see today's google doodle?
I thought it went well with your cheery Isadora Duncan thought Ru. : P
Yes TO, nice tribute to Freddy.
not yet owl... just came in. threw some food into my mouth, and got on babble!
it was awesome i thought
yes, it was indeed awesome!
Hi ruru. And Sue, again! I'm not really here, shh.
moll did you play the imbedded video game?
fireworks! last word was the next to last tr4,4
Congrats, Sue!
wtg uu!
I did TO, it was very clever.
i could not get it at work
hi neil
what was it?
Can't you see it from home?
i will try again, something about hitting cc i did not get it
It's a great, animated 90 second video to "Don't Stop Me Now"
how come I don't have any 9's yet
Go fish Ru.
idid get to see the vid, just not the game
As in, do you have any 9's...go fish.
I didn't realize there was a game involved. Only saw the video.
of you google the doolle it tells the story of how it was developed and the game embedded
LOL Moll - love the go fish
both 9s have to do with the thing that slows down fires
Ah, I'm not much for video games. I did love the video and they picked a great song.
I will too once I figure out what it means
intersting how they compared him to today's trend of soft vocalis
KJE, are you safe from the fires?
Flame re******* material, ruru.
thanks neil
hello kje, i thought of you when the news featured that today
No one, I repeat NO ONE, in the history of rock vocals has had the power of Freddy Mercury.
You're very welcome, ruru.
[bites my tongue]
it was a nice little article, he was no diva either.
oh.. I don't know about that molly
Thanks ruru.
Oh I can't wait. Toss one out Ru.
ru, email me. Talk to you later. [we're starting dinner here]
ok
i think i need industrial strength foil. bye all
Bye TO, hope you stay dry.
ty, i want to get these last 6 and catch some zzzs, it will be a long commute
sorry - multitasking... the fires are down near austin, so not near me
everyone in the danger area, i hope you all stay safe
Glad to hear you and yours are safe KJE.
those aren't fires.. those are texas barbeques
Still waiting Ru...what rock vocalist has/had more power than Freddy?
did you get the 3rd 9 ru?
I would put Freddy way up there for sure.. but Janis Joplin, Adam Lambert, the guy in Journey, and Steven Tyler are up there too
I did kje... was looking for the connection to fishing though
I don't have any 9's yet...go fish was the connection.
oh >.. I have them Molly if you need them
All good, quality singers, but none of them has the quality that Freddy had. The guy in Journey? Ouch. Steve Perry.
Hi all. I agree with MollyL about Freddy - no one could ever control a crowd quite like he could.
he has unbelivable range though.. not saying I like his songs Molly.. he is a powerful singer
hey jacs! did you see the goolge doodle?
Wembley Stadium was magic and watching it still makes the hairs on the back of my nexk stand up.
Hi TO. Yes, I did.
seeing Janis Joplin in person was like that for me.. she was unbelievable
ruru - she was great, too, but not quite the same as the late, great Freddy.
re 9/60 word is flame re******* material. I just found it
Oh Jac, you are SO lucky to have seen him in person.
I am just speaking about powerful singers with great range
Having said that, I guess it's all down to having seen bands/artistes live. I saw Freddy & Queen live many, many times.
Annie Lennox does it for me
ruru - Oh, okay. Yes, Annie Lennox is a wow factor, too.
Alison Moyet, also.
Annie Lennox, another great voice. But I can't top Freddy for that "Knocks people out" vocal quality.
I thought Adam Lambert did a fantastic job singing with Queen on Idol.. he did a great job and really showed some pipes
Hendrix had the same effect , not with his voice but with the voice he gave to his guitar.
Molly, I'm still with you there.
Yes Jac, when it comes to guitar power, nobody tops Jimi.
umm
*bites lips*
There are lots of great guitarists out there, but Jimi played the guitar like it was his lover - the stroked it, teased it, fought with it, set it on fire.
Seems like ruru thinks Hendrix just 'made row'. LOL.
anyone have the last te 7? please
R's Rumbled! 2 left
Lots of guitar players come close, but they all came after Jimi and molded his style. And they all admit to that.
I was married to a guitarist and I love almost all forms of the music.
te 7/32 is like the sunken ship with a different vowel.
Like the ship Ru, different second vowel.
ruru - last te7 is like the doomed ship but with a different 1st vowel.
Hendrix, Clapton, Phil Manzanera, Jeff Beck, are the greatest of all time
<--- Also married to a guitar player...knows what Jac speaks of.
I am a CLapton man..
Steve Vai, Jimmy Page...
Stevie Ray Vaughn...
I am done! I have fireworks! ti 7/28 was my last word
Julian Bream...
Well done, Min!
stevie ray was great
yeah minver..well done
Eric Johnson...Jonny Lang
I will be here to help clue. Also have a story in profile.
Thanks Jacula!
B.B. King...
Tony Iommi...
Thanks rururocks
I do like Johnny Lang.. he's playing here this month
The kid is amazing Ru.
I'm not a Jimmy Page fan however
Led Zep are a home-grown band for me, ruru, and I grew up with their music.
Brian May, who also epitomises the sound of Queen along with Freddy...
Jac, I think I want your autograph. : )
Many good blues guitarists. Which reminds me, someone posted the rules for writing blues songs in their bio here earlier. Did you all see it.
I never was a Zepplin fan .. too dark for me
Molly - LOL!
Yep, it was Westford. Cute.
jimi all the way for me. and for accoustic, though not acclaimed for its, bruce cockburn. he is suich a songwriter that it is overlooked.
evening all
but he is an amazing player.
I love bruce cockburn
I've written quite a few blues songs and the rules weren't far wrong.
His jesdraggon.
TO, Bruce was one of my husband's guitar heroes.
he is just amazing
i saw him earlier this year.
Another guitar hero of mine is my ex-hub. He was brilliant on guitar, not so good at being a husband.
Leo Kottke was another of Dan's acoustic heroes.
yes. but to me bruce has more range.
agrees with TO.. and Kotke is boring
this weekend i saw/worked with keller williams, umphree's magee, alp and ozomatli. i saw willy nelson's son as well and he rocks
aossry, alO
funny you say that jac, i say the same thing about my exhusband..brilliant neurologist, but not so good as a husband
top row grey! :D

I remember being away from home once, at a writers' conference in Wales, thinking I was alone in the residential halls as everyone had gone out on a trip and I was waiting for a friend to pick me up for an afternoon with her family, and I put a tape of my husband's guitar playing into my machine and turned it up loud. People I didn't know were there came out of the woodwork and asked me who the amazing guitar player was. He was handed a guitar when he came to collect me at the end of the week and had to do an impromptu concert. Luckily, he's as good on acoustic as on electric.
hey there min... first day of school for kids today
that t was hard work, dorens :)
LOL! I like your icon as well MollyL. I just read it. Not sure how many people I know would make it to step 2.
Hi Dorens. Strange things, husbands. Perhaps they're better as boyfriends?
Yes, my students started today. The school went up to 8th grade this year so now we are pre-K to 8th.
we're k - 8, and have been forever
hello min
I'm not so sure I am going to like having middle school
some husbands (ruru of course being a stellar example) seem to do it well. I think they're in the minority though
Hi 72 Temple Owl! How are you? Welcome to the grid.
i like middle school best actually
http://www.myspace.com/promiseoftherea l for Lukas Nelson
My stepdaughter should have started in 6th Form (she's 16 going on 17) yesterday, but she's still on holiday in Tunisia, due back this lunchtime. School on Thursday though, and coming back to about 20 degrees lower air temperature. Poor girl!
husbands are better as friends, my ex and I are best friends now, go figure lol
Taught 7th grade last year for the 1st time and I did not like it. Looks like I'll be teaching it again this year
Cute story Jac. People never fully appreciate the talent of someone until they hear it live. As for Kottke, he is boring to non-guitar players and fascinating to those who play.
meliae - that's life!
poor girl? holiday in tunisia?
Hello meliae! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid.
what subject min?
I teach English as a Second Language.I did mostly ELA
nice chat tonight, stay well all
seventh graders are pretty miserable people as a whole... neither fish nor fowl and trying to be grown up. Best thing is to show them great respect and sympathy, but still be firm
nite owl
Dorens - I meant she will be freezing to death when she gets home and then will have to go back to school.
sleep sweet, TO
(sort of realizet that jac... just having a bit of fun... would love to travel to tunisia myself) it was cool here today, and steady rain...alllll day long and still going... rivers flooding again tomorrow for sure
I didn't fancy Tunisia at the time of year it was offered (too hot for me) OR the fact that it was with a party of 29 other people who I have nothing in common with.
Bye 72 Temple Owl! I will see you tomorrow in the log.
that's good reason not to goo (29 people in particular)
They like to fry in the sun, party and go 'clubbing' and stick together all of the time. That is my idea of a complete nightmare.
'Night TO. Sleep well.x
hi all te732 pls
like the doomed ship, peri
te7/32
My stepdaughter said about 4 days ago that she'd enjoyed her holiday but would be glad to get home. I think she needs some quiet and alone time. I know I would!
ty Doren
"My idea of a complete nightmare"...*Thinks Jac may be my twin sister from a different Mother*
only part i like is the sun... and that only in small doses... otherwise, ditto
LOL Molly. Hi sister!
stats only on lower right T?
I wonder what a Babble crowd holiday in the sun would be like?
a LOT of fun!
sorry, jes... waiting for the clue too
tr4/4
Hi periwinkle!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
Hi Min
te 7/32 word is like sunken ship with different vowel.
te4/4
Hi Peri.
te6/18
first re5/10 pls
I just Babble instinctively and don't notice where the words come from.
did the race again peri
re+ not subtract
ops nm wrong word Peri
hmm. well, either i'm finding the wrong words with the stats you guys are cluing, or they don't come off the t i was looking for... ah well. will go to list without nbt.
ty Doren
That first re 5/10 word is to sprint again Dorens.
it's the te6/18
yes min i know, i thought peri asked for it
Oops, I meant periwinkle
1st te6/18 is one who rips things up.
ok. so long as we all know who we are :)
my last word is the 2nd re6/18 help pls
ok. i have 3 te6/18s. will keep looking :) thanks.
bottom right is te 6/18 the second
Dorens - we have a fascinating TV programme over here in UK called 'Who Do You Think You Are?' It traces famous people's family roots. I assume they only bother following up the ones who actually have interesting family roots.
got it :) nbt.
they have a similar show here in the US Jac
we have that show here as well, Jac
right jac.... doubt that they'd do my family...eastern european jews!!
peri - 2nd re6/18 = to ea4 wages again.
they did Gwenyth Paltrow and found a rabbi on her fathers side
That re 6/18 word is to make money again perwinkle.
( i have an absolute allergy to reality shows and most tv in general i guess)
well yes, her father is jewish
thanks Jac and Min. I never ever see that word
fw for me
y/w peri.
yay peri!
(was)
byeeee
me neither peri.. didn't have it... yay for you!
Bye peri, see you on our word game on FB.x
Congratulations perwinkle on fireworks!Good for you
Goodbye perwinkle! I will see you tomorrow in the log
Dorens - I think they WOULD be interested in your family roots.
if you've seen one jewish shtetl, you've seen them all
Your family moved/had to move and the background to why that was would be interesting.
<---Has the same allergy as Dorens to reality shows. Like THAT is reality.
Dorens - don't do your family down! Each story is of interest. Well, it is to me because people interest me.
okeydoke jacs. point well taken. i'm just thinking that people don't really like to look at the "reality" of how the jews were treated throughout europe for so long
Ditto to Molly and Dorens re reality shows, but I do find the family tree ones interesting.
Had to call a halt on going back through my own because all the branches and stories attached to each individual in them was taking up too much of my time. Knowing which line to concentrate on was a dilemma. I'll get back to it as and when.
That is a sad reality Dorens. I got queasy in The Holocaust Museum and I never even made it up to the third floor where I've been told, all the really powerful stuff is.
Dorens - not me! In fact, I was having a discussion about that very subject with my son last night. He studied that particular section of history for his degree some years ago. What we were both trying to fathom was WHERE anti-Semitism actually began and why.
it's easier for folks to blame it all on hitler and the germans, but antisemitism was rampant throughout europe from time immemorial ( or at least the spanish inquisition)... and of course, jacs, not you!! babblers are different! we really DO rock
Where does Anti-Anything begin? Mostly with one group of people wanting to feel superior to another. Blech.
Hitler had studied old folk legends that lead him to some of his misguided beliefs.
remember the church blamed christ's crucifixion on the jews. But i never understood that... He was a jew. And didn't he have to die for everyones' sins anyway?
molly, next time i'm in dc we'll go to the third floor together ok?
Okay Dorens, you might have to hold my hand though.
no problem (unless you have very sweaty palms!)
Dorens - it was actually the Romans who crucified Christ, but, apparently, the Jews who chose him over a murder to be saved. But you have to remember that the scriptures about what happened back then were written by scribes many, many years later who had been given an agenda to stick to. So, don't always believe what you read.
And let us not forget the Gnostic Gospels, that tell a very different story of the life of Jesus. Those are all, um, locked up in The Vatican. Hmmm.
Well, most of them anyway.
Oh yuck! Sweaty palms! That takes me back to Scottish Country Dance lessons at junior school, and the lad called Brett I was often forced to partner. Then there was David with the bleeding and crusty warts on his fingers. My teacher used to yell at me for not wanting to hold hands with them. (I used to offer only the tip of my little finger.) LOL
the whole story was very fishy
The Gnostic Gospels are probably much nearer the truth.
molly, i found the memorial to the deported martyrs in paris to be very chilling. first of all, it's so hidden, you really have to work to find it...and then again, the well-known anti-semitism of the french (which doesn't offend me nearly as much as other jews... I am a francophile actually)
A spiritually ascended man lived his life in peace and told people to love one another. The political slant that has been taken on that since he died is astounding.
i know!! how many people have thought about how HE would view what is done in the name of his church?
Dorens - I have thought about that nearly every day of my life since I went to a Church school and wa told their version of his story.
The thing is, he never really had a church. That all came later. People "claiming" that "their" church, "their religion" was based on his teachings.
true. he had a flock, a following and he would have abhorred the church with all its trappings ( imho)
and all the fights within the "christian" community about which among them were the true church? and holy wars... all in the name of this peaceful man?
I don't claim to subscribe to any religion now except that of mother earth, perhaps described as Paganism. I don't know if God exists or if Jesus was his son, but I do know that Jesus was the first hippy and that most of what we are told he said makes sense.
He abhorred men trying to be 'above' other men and would have hated all the trappings of the Popery and other churches.
agree with that... he was the first hippie and his teachings are great. i often preach to my students...just follow the golden rule and life would be terrific if we all did
so how come we see that jacs, and the church and all the people who've followed over the years don't?
Jesus preached on hilltops and in fields of flowers. He knew that nature was the thing we should revere, not poppinjays in gold cloaks with proclamations in their hands.
peter was the rock upon which the church was founded
peter had the dream three times to "feed my sheep"
thus peter was considered the first pope
See Jac, I told you we were twin sisters of different Mothers. Mother Earth is where I find my Source. I am a Pagan by nature.
(not bad for a quaker)
hi all
Dorens - I've no id4 why people don't see that. I think those 'in power' in churches do, but they need to either feel powerful or make money and so they close their eyes to it.
uh idea is not in the grid jac
but that is why quakers rejected steeple houses and hireling ministers
jmc - Oh, isn't it? That must've been yesterday's grid, or maybe tomorrow's. Did I tell you I am psychic?
hi jmc and yes, the quakers are admirable?
hahaha no doubt jac-- i thought it was too til i tried it
O:-)
Hi JMC. The Bible is a great book, written by inspired men. Not all of it is based in fact however. A+ on your Quaker interpretation from the Catholic school girl. : )
Hello everyone--I mostly lurk these days, but, as a priest, thought I would briefly join this conversation. The execution of Jesus is documented in places outside the gospels--Pilate, of course, was the Roman governor at the time--In the Christianity that I practice, however, we do not lay blame on Jews or, really, on Romans for Jesus's sentencing. True, he was a peaceful man, but, also, a wonderful rabble rouser who challenged the status quo at every turn--and became a political threat to the powers that be, mainly because he had a huge following, honored the poor, ate with tax collectors--you know all this. The gnostic gospels are actually quite available and readable--and the church is fallible, being made up of human beings. I don't dispute that. But I would draw your attention to Catholic Charities and Episcopal Relief and Development, two highly rated charities. It is easy to condemn the church, and I agree that Jesus wouldn't recognize himself in what many call Christianity, but there are thousands of Christians out there also living the gospel. Well, sorry, that wasn't brief at all.
haha well that is part of why we rejected hireling ministers mira ;-)
hmmph. natto IS TOO a word. *grumblemumble* silly grumbling dictionary
The lack of brevity, I take it, jmc?
but ty for sharing in this discussion we would never want to drive people away from conversation who willing to politely put forth their views
what does natto mean jes?
yes mirandapan there is much good done by the catholic church and others.... i am aware and don't mean to denigrate or sound disrespectful. But so much negativity has occurred, and I've been told that 50 - 60 years ago the catholic church did still teach that jews were responsible.. hope i'm wron
I always try that too jes
Hi mirandapan. Thank yo for adding to the discussion. I don't dispute that many people live acording to pagan beliefs, which is what Jesus preached. However, I don't think modern day so-called Christianity has anything in common with what Jesus preached.
haha yes mira the lack of brevity
it's a japanese dish, fermented soybeans i think.
Good points Miranda. I have no problem with another person's interpretation of the life of Jesus. We would all do well to adhere to what he taught and leave the politics alone.
well jac i would argue that quakers are modern christians who make a point of living up to what jesus taught including loving our enemies
ty jes i never knew that
are all the c words ci?
welcome. and all the c words i have are ci
i'm still missing one though.
Yes, all ci, and 3 of them are related
:-(((
Molly is right, if we start actually looking at what Catholic, C of E, Baptist and all the rest of the established churches stand for, we will still find a power structure at the top. The whole point of Jesus' teachings is that there is just you and God/Nature, call it what you will.
yes ci's
hi grem :)
jess all four begin with the same three letters
the problem with most churches is that they are devised by men
Hi gremlinn! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid.
Miranda, glad you jumped in. I appreciate all points of view on the subject. And I learn from them.
Actually, Jac--Jesus taught community. He chose 12 disciples, right? So his religion was not individualistic, but it was not, as you point out, hierarchical.
Hello Mirandapan!How are you doing? Welcome to grid
found the last ci
hey grem you barreled through again i saw
hehe, yep, I got on a roll
it was mildly hierarchical--he was the teacher
jmc - Maybe, re your point about Quakers, but they don't allow alcohol or gifts or Christmas, do they? Jesus wasn't against having a party - he turned water to wine. (Wish I could do that!)
haha not all quakers are that strict -- you know i love my jack
think that's seventh day adventists jac
mirandapan - Glad you got my point. The heirarchy is where it al goes wrong.
Miranda, I think Jesus was a very humble man, who spoke of the best values in life, who was misinterpreted more than he should have been.
think we're all in agreement there molly
Hi
we reject the holidays because they are quite frankly made up -- no one knows the day that Jesus was born or died (although there is an approximatel time for the death since we know it was around passover
hi herin
Dorens - in UK, that's the Quaker way. I should know, I worked for a computer firm for many years that was owned by Quakers.
How goes it
no dorens jac is correct--quakers rejected holidays and drinking
hi herin
Plus a lot of the Christian holidays are actually Pagan holidays
i stand corrected... falling asleep here. five words to stumble through
and in the uk many still do
Easter and Christmas, at least.
exactly herin
With all due respect JMC, that is why I could not espouse that kind of spirituality. I think there is a great need for celebration, no matter how you interpret what that celebration is about.
go dorens go!
Hi, Min--thanks for your responses everyone. I play almost everyday, and love to read the chog--it's just that I'm pretty busy (but not in seeking to be powerful, really, I'm not)
Hi herinfernallady! How are you? Welcome to the grid
I have kept quiet because I actually do not believe in any of this but don't want to accidentally offend.
well jump into the chog anytime mira--the more the merrier i think
we are too mirandapan, glad you decided to join us today
well grem you would have to work hard to offend me because i do not give a flying f*** if others do not believe
If you don't believe in any of it, why do you play game
i will not impose my beliefs but i will state them
too busy to be playing this silly game every day... even going to the library or friends' houses every day for a week when i had no power, just for this silly game
Min: I mean the theology/spirituality stuff, not the game.
Oh, I thought you meant you did not believe in Babble
hahaha min i think you misunderstood grem!
haha babble believes in you! hahahahahaha
The grid is a lie!
if i believe in babble hard enough, will the grid complete itself? :D
That's what happens when you're in an out of the log.
Thanks, all. You are a great group--I do keep up with all of you regulars by reading the chog--your beautiful and complicated lives.
down with the false god of babble!
babble can become our religion gremlinn... i too am pretty much of a non-believer... i much prefer nature
Never !! Hello all I love being a part of all this.
hi west
hi westford
I've been reading back and I'm so proud of all of us.
Hi dorens and jmc
There is a spirituality in believing in Nature. It would negate my soul to say I believe in nothing.
0000:-)
westford... that thing about the blues? terrific
yeah... nature is as spiritual as i can get!
thanks dorens I thought it was good enough to share
yes the blues essay is great!
But I also believe in what every makes you how are is what makes you
Hi westford! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
hi min doing well..playing my favorite game and watching Inspector Lewis
I have some pretty unconventional beliefs. I don't accept the notion of free will (as most people would define it) for example.
I've always thought that the operative word is BELIEF...however you choose to do that.
min have you started back to work?
love inspector lewis
absolutey herin... and whatever you believe in is just fine.. as long as you don't step on anyone else's toes
Went for what's coyly called 'a comfort break' and came back to find an explosion of posts here. Someone, perhaps Herin (Hi Herin!) pointed out that many Christian festivals fall on days when pagan festivals do/did. Yes, that's because the priests had to convince the 'simple folk' that God knew what their festivals were and He thought of them first.
<---Thinks Grem may be my oldest son, playing under a name I don't recognize. (Although he would not use that icon)
If I am your oldest son, I shall have to mourn the death of my brother.
jmc Lewis is a good successor for Morse.
i am in awe of my mother's intolerance for others ... She is a rabid atheist/agnostic depending on the month or year, but she is absolutely dismissive of people who believe in God... started arguing with her 88 year old sister at a dinner at m house just cause my aunt wanted to thank God for having us all together. mean-spirited i think
Mourn away son, both of your brothers are alive and well.
i was so sad when morse died
me too what a great guy he was
Hi Westford.
The key is to mock silly ideas, not silly people.
hi jac
Although it's a fine line and easy to stray from the first to the second.
much nicer i think gremlinn
Westford, I was saying earlier how much I enjoyed your thing about the rules of writing blues lyrics. I've written many and I'm glad to see I haven't sinned.
I have this horrible linguistic stumbling block being intolerant of intolerance.
Also I tend to follow teh weather rather than dates for seasons. Like Winter was gong to be long and mild based on teh 2 weeks before solstaice
you can mock me!!!! i be a silly person!!!
I mock your punctuation!
Now, Jac--that's not true. The folk were not simple--neither the Jews who celebrated the passover or the Christians, Easter--and God did not come up with thosse dates. It's well acknowledged that men did. And, right, they are not accurate. But they are sacred. We have an adopted son, for example, and we do not know how old he is, but we have established a birth date for him--we would never think of not celebrating it just because we aren't sure when he was born.
*runs through the chog buck nekkid*
pb herin
Westford,I've gone back to work.I started last week.
*cover eyes* Must you? Now cover up!
i mock your lack of puntuation!!!!
The kids started today. We are going up to 8th grade
What?
*flappita flappita*
*sings The Streak* as jam runs by
What did I say
i especially love letting my belly flap inthe wind
jac, glad you saw and liked it, min are the kids back too?
jmc you'll catch your death of cold
nah it be hot here
I think "sacred" is what you hold onto as your personal, spiritual belief. And I have always found it amusing that all you have to do is move some letters to change "scared" to "sacred".
*she's not rude, she's not crude, she's just in the mood to run in the nude...*
weeeeeeeeeeee
Mirandapan - I didn't say that I thought the people were simple or that God set the celebration dates. I said that men who considered themselves respresentatives of God did both.
good point molly same with unclear and nuclear
Fallible men, who had found some kind of power and wanted to keep it.
Or colonialists and oscillations?
dog god
Sorry, Jac--must have been reading too fast--the chog is like a train that left the station--apologies.
arf arf arf
The way I see religion is that it is the same painting but how we see it is different
Yes westford. The students started today.We are in full swing & we're re 4/5y to have a year of test prep
Hush son, quit flaunting your gigantic brain power.
dog god?! you heretic! He's OBVIOUSLY a jackal!
i love that min and west are trying to have a reasonable conversation
god dog?
conversation...or conservation?
I wish you a very successful year min and students who are nothing but adorable
I love babble chats lol
Never understood that Dog/God thing when it is clear cats are the Gods
they are trying to conserve reason
Because dogs are lazy, but a CAT will ACT!
they are trying to converse reasonably
god loves a cat
Thanks westford. I already know that some students won't be so adorable. There'll be some good ones too.
our friend's 3 year old was learning to read and said " Dog is Love" how could we correct her?
Ha, taco cat? Ah.
oh... The Cat Who Went to Heaven is a mighty good story, if anybody cares. it may make you cry though.
Oh God, Grem is my son. First talking about eating babies, now about taco cats.
"herinfernallady ProfileAustralia Th e way I see religion is that it is the same painting but how we see it is different
Speaking of cats jes our Lucy of the bedroom decided to come downstairs and has been wreaking havoc with the other female
mmmm tacos
excellent, west! :)
hopefully not a cat taco
That's not only poetic but a very quotable quote, Herin.
we have them in separate houses for the time being
but at least she's coming out instead of cowering :)
I had to leave my cat in California when I moved.
oh that is sad grem
Feel free to pinch Jac.
She's well taken care of now though.
O Grem :(
She thinks she's Queen of the World now..I thought that was my title.
if i get the job in england i will have to leave my cat behind too
Will do, Herin!
West that is cute
Nice Herin. It is the same painting. And how you see it doesn't matter, as long as you see something.
so it was a new job in ill for you grem?
yep
hi herin
teaching?
jmc could you leave cat with your son?
Nope, math software company
interesting what is a math software co?
how nice for you grem
my son wants to rent out his basement and *ahem* my cat does not use a litter box
Programs that do math and other neat things, some of them on the web
coolio so like quickbooks and intuit stuff?
Howc come when I'm in the mountains in North Wales, where I was first inspired to write, I CAN write, but when I get home just over 100 miles away with cell phone reception, fast internet connection etc., no one leaves me alone, so I come on here, and I get no writing done. Writing is what brings in the bread. AARGH!
I work on www.wolframalpha.com
brb
I have wolfram bookmarked
13 left
Because you have lost your muse Jac. Hint...hint...nudge...nudge...go back to where you are inspired.
I need to stop putting in reeat
west: I was a fan of it so I was really glad that I got accepted when I applied there
hmmm its stats on the society of friends are a bit da**ed--1969
it is so good to work where you are excited about what you are doing grem--lucky you!!!!
yep, and I actually live in a place where it will get snow, now
I'd also like to know how is it that even if people know you make your living from writing, they don't condier it a Proper Job and think it's okay to call, visit, come into your office to chat and generally interupt your train of thought? I've lost count of the number of stories I've lost this way.
i did that for 12 years and now i am looking for something new like that
you are looking forward to snow grem?
Jac put a SOD OFF sign on your front door
don't answer jac
it has never snowed where I have lived - only seen some on rare occasions, just a handful of times ever
Because people don't consider writing a "real job" Jac. Sad but true.
i had the same problem when i practiced law--people think you are always available
pb grem but yes i know what you mean since i grew up in texas where three snow flakes stop traffic
Hah. I have a proper job, in a proper office, and people think it's okay to call, visit, come into your office to chat and generally interrupt my train of thought. Has nothing to do with your job, that's just people.
A squeel. I may have to help babysit my niece.
though working from home may make it easier for them to find you.
Everyone tells me I will have enough of it after a day or two, but I really dislike heat so maybe I have a shot
(at not hating it)
you have to set the parameters yourself jac
you may well love the snow grem--it has some lovely aspects--but like anything it can get ti**some
wtg herin!
herin how old is the little darling?
She will be a year in October. She is running already
aww I envy you
nice lots of energy there
last ar6 please?
She is a darling. Her Dada broke his foot so he can't run after her.
I did once draw a copy of a popular poster in the 70s. It was a very big fat naked woman holding her arm out in an imperious way to a very small fat man and the speech bubble above said SOD OFF!. I think it was a feminist movement poster. I think my Mum must've thrown it way, just like she threw away my very valuable Bob Dylan poster. GRRR!
I had a Biba poster too, that's worth quite a bit now.
wolfram doesn't seem to like the colony in which i live
too bad Jac what was the Dylan poster?
if you are behind in your rent jes
Thing is I have just told him I will do everything but poo nappy duty
Oh damn, Jes is right. Many people are rude and self-serving and will barge in on whatever career you have because it's ALL ABOUT WHAT THEY NEED RIGHT NOW!!!!
ar6 = ar + not the front.
but that's part of it herin lol
good grief. thanks, jam; i tried that 3 times but spelled it wrong every time!
No I do everything but that one
There maybe a bribe of cookies
haha me too i would have never put the double letter in
Westford - will have to Google and see if I can find it.
Bob and I go back a long long way
Jac I have a lot of my posters still in a tube
I had a poster and lost it in a move (guess one of the movers liked it )
'What if they gave a war and nobody came?"
a classic west
and so fitting now..damn
we live in hope west
that we do
Westford - can't find it on Google. It was stylised, very 60s/70s with a blue theme.
thanks for looking Jac..maybe it'll show up someday
Westford - is that war quote one from Woodstock? If it isn't it should have been.
I think it was earlier than that
ot6,21?
sounds like ear infection but diff ending
ot+first person singular+twitch
thanks
ot6/21 word is ot plus he, she, ** is plus today's **con theme is mouse padd.By the way check mine out,cute
ot6/21 - o +slang word for breast + personal pronoun + consonant that starts the word for the most popular pet next to a dog.
the grid has a theme?
wiki takes that phrase from a monkees album (i kid you not)
not the grid west
oh never mind..you said icon theme..
Every day there's an icon theme westford.The theme 2dayis mouse pads,hence my Cavalier mouse pad icon
nuts I have to start getting sorted for summer
thanks min I just realized
MollyL was the only other mouse pad I saw in chat log
It's cold and windy and rainy and I want summer back
Zor and Zam, The Monkees, 1968, that's where the war and nobody came quote comes from. I knew I new it!
so it was before Woodstock
i suspect it was from further back but can't prove it at this point
I want summer back without the hot humid weather.
hey hey we're the monkees
absolutely min
jmc - ditto. I'm sure it must come from further back.
Means I am going to have to start hand stitching things
somewhere the weather is perfect all the time
wiki is only as good as it's writers
are you going to sell on Etsy herin?
No just for me
no kidding jmc
I have a few pieces that need shortening and making
actually one of my goals is to correct and plump out the story of the center where i used to work
I can hem and sew on a button..that's about it
Herin - I hand stitch things all the time these days, since Beloved has covered my sewing machine with lots of bags of photographic equipment, tripods etc.
that reminds me i need to finish the pillow cases for my niece
I need to have a serious word with him about that!

Move the machine

Thanks westford! Hi M!
I have 30 to go
Westford we have been enjoying your blues write-up.
Neil is now known as Flaccid Blueberry Johnson. ;o)
good faux..just passing it on
Go M!
lol
Yes great reviews West
ah.. I started reading that and got distracted.. I should finish it
Yeah it's funny M.
hmmm... I could shoot a man in Memphis...
anyone we know?
Seattle gets rain! Lots of rain. that's just not fair....
nah.. I'm just bein' generic. Any man will do.LOL
lately it's been all sunny daughter just moved there
m how is little mommy doing? you must be over the moon
Did someone just became a Grandma?
not yet
the slim fast got me crying!
she's feeling it big time inside.. trying to feel it outside.LOL
Aw. :)
M9 you going to be a grandma soon?
I guess my blues name needs to be a big mama one
yes
awwww.
How old is daughter?
Mine is Crosseyed Gooseberry Coolidge.
(if you don't mind me asking)
Myopic Big Momma Mango Fillmore.
those names are perfect
she is 23. Got married in May
no.. March
Daw how sweet.
yer missin' a name Faux
Bessie? Sadie?
My B.fs niece is expecting. I keep starting to rant that she is too young and she is 22. I keep thinking she is 16 which is a couple of years older than when I first met them
I'll tell Aiden she needs to name it Willie if it's a boy.LOL
ah
Haha! :P
My best friends little sister just turned 21 and I was all Wait hang on no I remember when you just turned 7
turn around and you're tiny turn around and you're grown
That is true
I love tiny ones though...
beautiful Malvina Reynolds song
I found that blues thing online so I can share it. it's SO funny!
our tiny is already 5
All of my friends have had 10 pound babies. I got to hold a 7pound baby recently he was too small
must be the timtams herin
My niece is five. Just started school. *sigh*
No all my friends babies are big ones.
I just took pics of a 6 pounder... but she was already over twice her birth weight!!!
wow m nice to hear she's progressing
so scary how early was she?
yes west.. she was 8 weeks old when I shot the pics.. but Mom would have been 37 weeks at that point!
she did SO well..
Wow she is very luckly
so.. about 11/12 weeks early
wanna see her?
Hi Laura! Didn't know you were here?
And Mary!
Hi neil
Sure M9
oh yes
Hi Neil. :o)
Oh yes they are beautiful photos!
Hi Neil
see if this works http://tinyurl.com/3popgzs
M9 she is a darling
oh isn't she and look at those eyelashes !!
yeah.. she's really, REALLY cute!
what did they name her?
And you did such a beautiful job on the shoot.
It was my first time taking pics of a baby. I had SO much fun!
Her daddy named her
Can I add yuo as a friend m0
the pics remind me of Ann Geddes
Leleiga. pronounced la LANG uh
very different and beautiful
Samoan
did they even have a name picked out?
I don't know!
wow.. when they're really preemie, I suppose the name thing can catch the parents unawares.
Notice all the cheesecloth?? LOL
I named all my children years before they were born..of course they all have different names
My friend has a ''boy'' name for her little girl. I am all but it suits her and it is a unisex name
I'd hope so, westford. It would be confusing to have more than one child with the same name. ;)
looking for cheesecloth now
well yeah.. naming all the same could be confusing
ha ha Neil! Great minds
Haha! GMTA Mary.
I mean different than the ones I chose when I was 12 lol
OMG. Great minds AGAIN. Geez.
My birth family has a lot of J names. Problem is they are roughly the same age so I never know what is what
I see, westford. ;)
Had to tease though, because that just came out funny.
ack! Get. out. of. my. head!!!
it did and don't mind teasing at all
OMG. Ack! I. was. just. going. to. SAY. THAT!
ROFL!!!!
Mary? You need to check G+... some pretty silly stuff going down on there right now.
cheesecloth..no gossamer
As I would say get out of my head you will upset the monkeys
And if you aren't connected with Jon Moore there, add him, so you can see his posts.
west.. I've still got LOTS of cheesecloth from making Aiden's dress.
I'm computer impaired at the moment Neil
you made her dress? it is gorgeous
Oh, ok. You did an amazing job with that dress.. it looks really expensive. Hard to believe it's just made from cheesecloth! Genius.
I thought you knew that. Muslin and cheesecloth
aw shucks
saw the pics while I was looking for the baby
M( can I add you on FB?
ah
Looking for the baby? You misplaced a baby?
west is really on a roll tonight.
(kaiser)
sure
it's around here somewhere
M9 I sent a request
A for goodness sake an 8 word is one of my phantoms
k
I just spent 5 minutes looking for a mammary gland
te4/4
I hate when that happens
I constantly see this little ant munching creature and then I forget to add it
No comment, westford. ;)
sometimes the easy ones just get away
wow. first babies.. now her mammaries.. having a real mammary lapse, eh West?
Groan, Mary.
quit pickin' on me...woke up this morning and didn't have no mind
Poor West
you singin' the blues??
lol
I believe I am
sittin' in my little cabin in the rain
all I need now is a name
you fixin' to die?
eventually
(hope not!)
Good answer.
me too. At least for a while.
got that little graveyard out back
Mary, see the blues thread on G+. I wish you could see it too, Westford... and our comments we've posted with our Blues names.
faux told hers and yours neil and so did m all great ones
She did, in here?
she did
Probably not A's though? That's priceless.
I'd still like to invite you onto G+ with us. Do you have a Google [Gmail] account?
I can't... this computer isn't supported by g+
no not yet some of our kids do though
I gotta get my other puter up again
Talking to westford, Mary.
oh sorry
I'll invite you anyway... you can register one.
no not sorry I'm all mixed up lol
I was responding to 11:44
I don't type as fast.LOL
LOL!! we knew that west~
Check email, westford.
