12:37 am

Thank you neil for the list (you're amazing!)

Sorry, don't think it was showing for some reason? The "show profile" box keeps losing the checkmark. Weird glitch I guess?

12:37 am

I also read that the "repeal of don't ask don't tell hasn't made any problems in the military.. it's going well...

12:38 am

about time... what a waste of talent in the military

12:39 am

That's good to hear.

12:40 am

One thing I read was all these very bright linquistically trained soldiers had to leave the service.. and we needed them badly in this war.

12:40 am

Neil and ruru, both of your lists are showing on your profiles.

12:41 am

my list is old sorry.. i'll delete it

12:41 am

Especially in Arabic. That blew my mind.

12:42 am

yeah.. unbelievable!

12:42 am

I took half a semestre of Arabic. That is not easy.

1:02 am

I thought she'd come around

oh excellent!! the program tries to put them up an hour before flip cause of the time change, but will come on and manually do it for now.

Oh that's good to hear, mrp... and email just came in from you so I'm check that.

Nice to e-meet your mrp. :o)

1:16 am

Hey jellen :)

1:21 am

You are most welcome, mrp...

1:21 am

yes.. got it.. I'll touch base with Crossie and wildcat

just gonna have a little cry now... bbs

Aww, mrp. :(

I just replied to your email.

1:27 am

me or mr p?

hi and nbt

and phant almanac, a pesky one

1:35 am

More than halfway and NBT's.

1:35 am

How ya doin' mrp?

hi again... doing ok boati... dad just came around and was supportive in a dad way.

i have had a very good day and am thankful

1:39 am

Aw, good dad :)

1:39 am

so glad to hear that, mrp

hi jilli :))

1:40 am

(I just got back from the kitchen)

jilli, wildcat sent me something and thank you so so much... you have no idea how that made me feel and it helped me pick myself up... thank you again :)) ***hugs***

1:42 am

glad to hear you got that wildcat stuff, mrp.

mrp, I replied again.

she is one WILD CAT! and thank you too

1:42 am

and thank goodness your dad came around.

1:43 am

OMG, on Kimmel a man is about to eat two wads of wasabi and down three glasses of Tabasco...unreal.

1:43 am

Messed up!

I'm glad you had such a great visit with your dad, mrp, and that it helped you so much.

1:43 am

I now have your list up, mrp -- thanks so much for persisting with this.

Fascinating, boat. I bet Fauxmage could handle something that hot.

Check your email, mrp?

1:45 am

I cannot believe he's doing this to himself. He's about to down the third one...ugh! Damn.

1:45 am

neil, it seems what I posted to you never reached here -- I just asked if you were all moved now.

1:46 am

Tabasco is mild, but wasabi is just gross.

1:46 am

I look at an onion and my nose runs.

i did neil, nothing so far

1:47 am

something's gone wrong with the little TV I have in this room :-(

1:47 am

I have one cl5/12 missing the other. I have clear in spanish. the other is?

1:47 am

Actually one of my favorite things I've ever seen on Jackass was when Steve-O snorted wasabi. That was excellent :)

thanks jilli, the list is trying to post before the flip, but i am working on solving that

1:48 am

oh crap I see it

1:48 am

never mind

snorted wasabi?? is he friggin insane!!???

my dad helps, and in a way, he is my calming effect and my rock in my life... i just hope that the kids will come back to that with their dad... I love my dad, no matter what... and my dad reminded me that that would happen with our kids too.

1:50 am

that's reassuring, mrp

even though I don't see it now, and I have one pissed off teenage girl... I believe him and trust him that the kids will come back around

indeed jilli, I just sit here with my head in my hands and wonder how... but dad assured me it would work out

1:51 am

Yup! And that's why they did it on Jackass :) He mixed it with a bit of soy sauce so it wouldn’t be so stiff then snorted it. I tell you I've never seen anyone vomit so quickly in my entire life. Disgusting yes, but also hilarious :)

but to snort it??? that goes up into the sinus cavity and the brain!! holy moly that must hurt like hell and destroy some linings of the sinuses and brain matter at the same time!!! but anything that can make me laugh at someone else right now is perfect!! and Knoxville is a Jackass for sure.

1:55 am

http://youtu.be/Dvsc9OEtGG8

Yep jilli... more or less. Still getting unpacked and organized but most of it's done.

Replied again, mrp.

1:56 am

Oh Crap!! That's the link to the Steve-O wasabi film, I was going to put a warning on that...

I'm sorry jilli, but I was busy elsewhere when you first asked that... as I often am. Too much stuff going on!

And uhhhh, that was to mrp, ruru... you hadn't sent me another one? Or have you? Geez. I'd better check. I just replied to your last one, mrp.

Oh, weird. Do another mail check, mrp? Try Gmail?

2:04 am

I'm off to bed.. good night all.. thank you for the contact person mr p..I'll get on it

2:04 am

G'night ruru :)

nite ruuster :)

i am going to google+ to see what is happening there...

and I cant log in... darn it!

i have to have my computer to log in... just won't let me do anything on this computer. sorry

Just replied again, mrp.

Aww no?

2:28 am

Not seeing anything in spite of the list so off to bed -- busy tomorrow -- goodnight/evening all...*poof

nite jilli :)

Good night jilli.

Check again, mrp.

is weird how i depend on my puter... i just have to go to my bookmarks, click and am logged in... without that here, i get no where quick

Yeah, bookmarks and shortcuts are useful.

And time for bed here so good night.

2:44 am

omg boa, such a lovely icon! Those colours... woot

3:26 am

hi sprite

3:27 am

hey west :)

3:27 am

thought you were done already

3:27 am

no just started

3:28 am

been here for awhile on and off..pretty empty tonight

3:29 am

yeah, it is funny. Saturday used to be a very chatty day. But the last year or so it has become very quiet.

3:30 am

small grid too..I liked yesterday's

3:31 am

yeah, yesterday's was a good one! This one is a bit tight for me.

3:32 am

did you get to watch the movie Ruby recommended?

3:32 am

not yet, my family had other plans. But we will watch it soon, am looking forward to.

3:33 am

we watched the Black Swan tonight..weird

3:33 am

I was all set to see a beautiful ballet..what a surprise

3:33 am

haven't seen that one, it didn't really appeal to me. Weird but good, or weird and just... weird?

3:35 am

good acting but very dark and scary

3:35 am

if I remember correctly, it is the dancer who becomes the personality she is supposed to dance?

3:36 am

yes life imitating art

3:36 am

and gore ..don't think you'd care for it

3:36 am

yes exactly. Oh! No, gore is not my thing :(

3:37 am

Natalie Portman won for best actress and she was excellent but the story line was too over the top

3:37 am

too bad

3:37 am

I wonder how many mothers pulled their daughters out of ballet class after seeing that lol

3:38 am

lolllll

3:38 am

but now I want to see Swan Lake again

3:39 am

mum, can I go to ballet lesson? No dear, wayyyy too dangerous! You go play football.

3:39 am

LOL

3:39 am

swan lake is beautiful, with good dancers

3:40 am

and the music is divine

3:40 am

yes

3:41 am

50 left and only one 7 found. This grid is tight for the biggies!

3:41 am

1 7 here too

3:42 am

a C?

3:42 am

quick question..have you looked at Who's Online? First time for me and several people have their name listed twice..not you, not me but most

3:42 am

yes the animated c

3:43 am

no, not for me. Everybody has one listing here.

3:43 am

strange

3:44 am

perhaps a refresh will solve it?

3:44 am

good idea

3:44 am

i've only got people on once as well

3:45 am

hi Katie :)

3:45 am

sweet icon

3:45 am

hi katie..that fixed it

3:45 am

hi west, hi everyone, glad it's fixed

3:45 am

good. Bugs can be so weird.

3:46 am

no big deal but had me wondering who had an evil twin lol

3:47 am

lol... evil twins, stalkers... babble imitating art imitating life?

3:47 am

I hope not..I like babble it's my safe place

3:48 am

lots of sadness lately though

3:49 am

same here. And I don't mind sharing the sadness. But I would hate for babble to become aggressive and hostile.

3:49 am

still I come back for happy news and there's a lot of that

3:50 am

sharing happy news is wonderful

3:50 am

sure is

3:57 am

dem dem dem stupid connection!

3:57 am

I am gonna go to another provider, I have totally HAD it

3:57 am

3:58 am

3:58 am

hiya Chris :)

3:58 am

hello everyone

4:01 am

do you have any more 7's sprite?

4:01 am

yes, one more. Still one MIA

4:01 am

this is a tricky little grid - or is it just me?

4:01 am

no it is not just you. It is sneakily tight.

4:02 am

I am convinced it ends in man..but I've tried every combination I can think of

4:02 am

should I keep looking?

4:02 am

my 2nd one doesn't have that ending, west

4:02 am

what does it start with Sprite

4:03 am

good to know

4:03 am

An7/28

4:03 am

4:04 am

4:07 am

wtg :)

4:08 am

thanks for the la..looking

4:08 am

sits here feeling dense, with only one 7

4:08 am

the an 7 is plural of an6

4:09 am

I know the feeling. I didn't have more than one 7 for ages.

4:09 am

if only I had an6!

4:09 am

which I no do - and the 7

4:09 am

I think it means once a year, or every year, or something like that

4:10 am

*now*

4:10 am

ok and the 3rd is ca7, Chris, think animation

4:11 am

already got that one sprite - thanks

9:36 am

then look for a post office

9:36 am

if you have a office for that a federal building,it is better to go there

9:36 am

I can get the form online, though

10:21 am

the Draconids

10:22 am

at its peak, toward 10PM here, it will have more than 600 meteors/hour!

10:23 am

500 babblers would be even better..just about right i would imagine

10:51 am

I'll cover for a few babblers crossie.. but the more the better I agree

10:53 am

it boggle the mind if you think about it ruru..if EVERY babbler gave 10 dollars..we could pay off one mortgage a month!

10:55 am

I will need to send a personal check...where would I send it?

10:55 am

a money order from yopur bank would be much faster for wildcat annie..that is what i am sending

10:56 am

my bank gives me 4 free money orders a month

10:56 am

crossy, but where or to whom are you sending the check to?

10:57 am

11:22 am

have to get all this in whilst mrp is sleeping:))

Check email again, crossy.

11:25 am

i can envision her at the mail box,sorting through yet more bills,tired,but firm and handling the entire household.she spots a small card from wildcat,opens it and smiles as one of many loads is lifted from her shoulders and she know that we love and she can stock the kitchen and pay a few bills,and it is not so much for us..not but a week of take out coffee is all,to ease a womans burdens:)

11:26 am

checking marttin

11:27 am

You're right, crossy. And thank you to you and anyone else who pulled this together.

11:28 am

11:28 am

love this, so nice of everyone - reminds me of a few years back when a game and blog site friend announced he had to give up because his PC was broken down - lots of us pooled funds at a central donation site and bought another one to have delivered to him - he was sooo surprised and happy! I love when internet anonymity is bypassed for a good cause! :)

12:42 pm

OK, that was super easy to do! Never heard of chipin, but what a great site!

12:48 pm

Hello All :)

12:49 pm

12:53 pm

hi again all, no luck finding old passports but they were too old to be useful anyway. I do have our birth certificates, so all we need is pictures and we're ready to go!

12:55 pm

where are you going sue

12:55 pm

had the same issue earlier this year. such a pain!

12:55 pm

to Israel at the end of the year

12:56 pm

my son's cousin is getting married

12:56 pm

dont you need to apply for a new passport

12:56 pm

Your passports will turn up in Feb. ;)

12:56 pm

no doubt :-)

12:56 pm

I have never gotten a passport but need to do so soon as planning a tropical trip with a friend next year

12:56 pm

but they were issued back in 1993 so long expired

12:56 pm

how exciting for you sue

12:56 pm

not a big deal, river, but you do have to dig up your birth certificate

12:57 pm

yes, I am really getting excited about it already!

12:57 pm

I have one and actually keep it in my wallet...has the seal stamp on it so should be fine...its the original...pretty old now

12:58 pm

just need to get to the post office and start

12:58 pm

lol, river, mine too!

12:58 pm

anyway it's been a long time since breakfast so I am going to get something to eat. bbs.

12:59 pm

bye for now....I need to get some chores done so will leave my last 33 for later...have a good day whoever is here.

Hi Sue.

Oh nm. You're not here.

1:12 pm

yes I am.

1:12 pm

quick snack.

oh hi!

1:13 pm

working on getting passports for myself and the kid - we are going to Israel at the end of the year!

Log into yahoo?

1:13 pm

Oh wow, nice. My ancestoral homeland.

Yep.

1:16 pm

1:20 pm

Lurking fireworks - Happy babbling y'all

1:21 pm

yay, metfan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1:22 pm

YAY MetFan!!! *lurking off to do yardwork*

1:22 pm

hi, stid!

1:26 pm

thanks for the chipin url, crossy!

1:27 pm

hi, welki! Thanks for Simon's cat - love those videos!

1:27 pm

and thanks to wildcat for organizing!

1:27 pm

yes, yay to wild!!!!!!!

1:27 pm

funny, sue .. i shared it off a FB link to a babbler, atalante :)

1:28 pm

cool :-)

1:28 pm

a lot of my friends are sharing it now too

1:29 pm

the video came at a great time .. my daughter and grand-daughter are here visiting. dad is home, back east ... contemplating another kitten to their familty

1:29 pm

ah - we brought a second adult cat into our house, not a great success although they have both survived

1:30 pm

i've always had cats, have really never had a problem with newcomers. even the dogs never seem to mind (except for the border collie, who thinks it's his job to stalk and herd them)

1:32 pm

we tried to do the "introduce the new cat gradually" thing

1:32 pm

but the new cat opened the door to her room and got out about an hour after we got her, and disappeared into the basement

1:32 pm

came out when she was good and ready, meanwhile the old cat took umbrage and still hasn't gotten over it

1:33 pm

they coexist but are not exactly friends

1:33 pm

same thing happens with children, sue ... they'll either adjust or they won't *lol*

1:33 pm

the dog (who is newer to the household than either cat) doesn't mind them but then she weighs about 70 pounds :-)

1:35 pm

indeed, welki :-)

1:36 pm

my oldest is 30 and probably still resents the two life-intruders who are her sisters ... truth be told, the kids are close. i was "one of those" mothers who insisted that they do things together and pounded it into their heads that friends may come and go, but sisters are stuck together until the bitter end :)

1:37 pm

ah - I always wish my sister and I had gotten along better - my brother and I were close, though

1:37 pm

i think it's because i don't have a great relationship with my sister that i insisted mine work at it

1:38 pm

ah - I solved that problem by only having one child :-/

1:38 pm

and a boy at that!

1:39 pm

also true :-)

1:39 pm

although I had less choice about that part!

1:40 pm

time to make a move, sue ... the baby's sleeping, so i can get a few things done before the afternoon festivities ... later!

1:40 pm

take care, welki!

1:50 pm

ok, I have at least half the words from each tile, so I will take a break for a while myself.

1:53 pm

bye sue...

1:54 pm

and welki...

1:57 pm

I am here for a few, have a stidkid doing the outdoor work, so I can get a few more words. This grid feels a bit tricky.

1:58 pm

oh, and now my internet is being dodgy. Back another time.

2:07 pm

halfway, NBT and NBS

2:54 pm

Howdy again all:-)

2:55 pm

Thanks, carleekat. For some reason, below my grid the are only generic tile stats (not clickable). Any thoughts?

5:22 pm

yesterday (or the day before) "hint" was in the grid and that was bad enough!

5:22 pm

you'd have to hang out in the PB for a while, carlee!

5:22 pm

coaster, there is a separate website, lickety's babble clues

5:22 pm

I'm sure a bunch of us would be there with you!

5:22 pm

http://licketysplitaus.googlepages.com /babbleclues

Hi Coaster...nice to see you back with us....hope you have fun!

5:35 pm

5:35 pm

New player to game: can I reorient the position of the grid?

5:35 pm

No, woodhood

5:35 pm

Welcome Woodhood...enjoy yourself!

5:36 pm

Look under "Help". Good stuff there.

5:41 pm

new to game: seems to me that you should be able to reorient the grid? It would help in completing the word list. can I suggest it to the powers that be?

5:43 pm

It would seem to me if you reoriented the grid, the word list would be endless.

5:43 pm

I think wood means turning it around without scrambling the letters, bea

5:44 pm

and it might make things easier but you do get used to twisting your mind around instead of the grid :-)

5:45 pm

Yes. Turning it around without scrambling. That is correct. That is what I would like to do.

5:45 pm

anyway time for a snack, bbl!

5:50 pm

howdy min

9:26 pm

It did not take me ae4/4s amount of time to find 118 words in the grid today. Since fireworks are an5/10, here is a story of clues. I was not very ca 4/6 on my wedding day. My hands got cl4/6my. My best friend, who was my my ma5/12 of honor, tried to ca 4/5 me down. She always tries to ca 4/6 me down when I get nervous.But this time it didn't work. Everything that could go wrong, did go wrong.Husband and I tied the kn 4/8 in Co4/5ecticut. I thought it was going to be a ne4/4 ceremony, but it wasn't. I had 3 bridesmaids who wore beautiful ma6/21 dresses.Unfortunately,it rained during the ceremony.Everybody had to get cr 4/6med inside a banquet room for the ceremony. My hair got wet and became la 4/8. My husband, Ma4/5, and I tried dancing to Ma 4/6 Anthony cr 5/12ing "I Need You",but I was miserable.During the reception, I ro4/5ed around greeting guests,trying not to cry. I so wanted to run out of the room & sl 4/5 the door. I finally sl 5/18 out of reception before it even ended Later on, my hubby reprimanded me in a nasty to4/4 for leaving reception early. So I reto4/4ed back "and you did not even come to check on me to see if I was ok!"If I'd been sm5/12,I never would have planned an outdoor wedding.I blame the disastrous events of my wedding as the ro 4/4 of all the problems that I have now with hubby.Can hear hubby ne4/5by waiting for computer. Now I'm going to go watch ac5/12 Tommy Lee Jones co5/14 with Sissy Spacek in the movie The Co 4/5 Miner's Daughter. I will be back later to finish.

9:28 pm

9:49 pm

how's the school thing going?

9:50 pm

*glad to not be in school any more*

9:50 pm

Hi jmcnrick! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid.

9:51 pm

Stidmama, how many sub jobs did you have last week?

9:51 pm

two and a half days, Min -- the full days were for people at the local school. LOVED (nearly) every minute!

9:52 pm

I am glad to not be in school anymore taking classes, but glad to be in school as a teacher.

9:52 pm

I have a day lined up for next week already, too.

9:53 pm

and then the next week I am going to visit some cousins in California, and a great aunt. Mother and I are leaving the "menfolk" behind and braving the perils of travel (hot tubs, room service...) alone! :-D

9:53 pm

What grades did you sub for?Subbing is good because it gives you a chance to teach all different grades.

9:53 pm

I did a primary-grade resource room for the half day, then intermediate grades for the full days.

9:54 pm

Are there babblers in CA you could visit while you are out there? I think that negativeneil lives in California

9:54 pm

it is tiring but interesting

9:54 pm

negative neil and ru and torg -- where in cal?

9:54 pm

there are probably many, but this is really just for family this time.

9:55 pm

all over, actually, we will be driving long distances and in various places only long enough to visit the kinfolk

9:56 pm

I am glad it is at least interesting, jmc. Tiring goes with the territory of learning, I am afraid. In fact, on Thursday I went to sleep at 6 or 7 pm and didn't wake up until about 8 Friday morning! LOL just learning how to cope with other teachers' lesson plans and schedules is enough

9:57 pm

i think what is most tiring is the driving down to harrisonburg and then driving the hour to school each day

9:58 pm

i am getting too old for this crap

9:58 pm

blah. driving long distances (in traffic, at least) is not any fun.

9:59 pm

well 1/2 hour is 5 miles across the mountain pass and the other half hour is on a major trucking highway

9:59 pm

Have a 1 hour&15 minute commute to and from work.

9:59 pm

that's a long commute, min

10:00 pm

It sure is!

10:00 pm

i couldn't do that year in and year out

10:01 pm

i can only do this because it is 3-4 days a week and not for all year and only for 2 years max

10:01 pm

I refuse to drive more than about 45 minutes to teach, and that is in schools I know the administrators/teachers. My first student teaching was so horrible, and the commute so long, that I am just not willing to put my health at risk again.

10:01 pm
