we do have the list, cos

12:35 am

Hey melon :)

12:35 am

hi jilli

ty was afraid there was an oddball in the mix

I'm just here for a few min, need to be up in 6 hours

12:37 am

that, cos, is beyond my understanding, when mrp has gone to the trouble of providing it.

jili, we know how you feel, you have made it perfectly clear.

another phantom: catarrh

ty cos was missing the 9

12:38 am

yw dee :)

hi and nbt

we have another showing on Thurs cos... keep your fingers crossed

hi josh and wtg

12:39 am

hi and wtg josh

12:39 am

i will! hope ti goes well

12:39 am

as I have said before, I don't like using the list till the last minute, as it make me lazy...if one knows what I mean...LOL

12:39 am

good luck with th4 volley

nbs

it's a 2nd showing, so we'll see ty da4!!!

12:40 am

good luck with the showing, dee!

we have one house we both really like, so timing would be good

12:40 am

found an si8... builds off the si4

ty jli

me, too, diz!!

12:40 am

dee do you bury a st. joseph in your yard? ryan's mom does it all the time.. she moves once every 2 years or so lol

new challenge for me - going tile by tile from the top left to bottom right, and try to get more than half the words from that tile before moving on

12:40 am

ty Dee

i find when i am done i am usually about 75% through with the grid

josh, wow, that should take you 90 seconds longer ;)

lol cos... a dear friend suggested that... I have been tempted

good challenge josh

12:41 am

she says it works lol

12 minutes or so today, didn't really keep track

but as we all know, the first half is always the easy half to get

since I am not Catholic, was afraid it was a bit odd for me to participate...

12:42 am

she isn't catholic lol

aww good to know

12:43 am

i always found it silly but she believes it works and i think thats why it works for her -- she believes in it lol

could be... my South Bend friend swears it works

would have to forego telling my Protestant friends, they might have a cow, if I did that lol

12:44 am

last house she sold.. last year.. she went 2 months .. no luck then she remembered she didnt bury st joes so she did.. and a week later the house sold.. for asking price.

isn't that amazing

12:45 am

i know it was weird.. but she was happy .. and a happy MIL means more free dinners for me lol

12:45 am

maybe a catholic will buy it

12:46 am

lol da4

if we sold ours now, I would have to laugh at God's sense of humor - our house is supposed to go off the market the 30th of Oct. LOL cos

good one da

and the house we both like is actually owned by a good friend of ours... who just recently decided to put theirs on the market...

nbt and nbs :)

12:48 am

sorry expert messed up... didnt mean to send that twice

tx.

Haha, or Michele Bachmann? To say the least.

12:55 am

lol... thats too kind for her

12:55 am

th4 OK

12:55 am

th4 Ok

12:55 am

she was insane in tonight's debate.. every other word was "obama care"

Yeah, that's why I added "to say the least".

Check my profile, cosdem.

I have my full commentaries on it in there.

there's yet another compound word ending with h4/5.

I was posting them on my Twitter and G+ pages simultaneously, then added them in there too.

12:56 am

reading it now.. blinking did hurt bob dole

12:56 am

i remember the media talking abotu that in 1996

12:57 am

you didnt say anything about 999 upside down being the devil or something lol

Haha! Yeah, it probably did.

Oh damn. Knew I'd forgotten something!

from what a does the at 7 originate cos?

well, I'm 1/3 done, and have to be up tomorrow. half day teaching then off to ceramic studio.

12:58 am

oops dee sorry lol

2nd column 2nd row

12:58 am

I do a LOT of paraphrasing... because they need it. They need to cut the crap and just say what they really mean. :P

12:59 am

thanks da4 i couldnt remember which

12:59 am

dailykos does a good job blogging the debates too

ty!

Good night, melon.

Oh yeah, I belong in the PB for greeting you earlier, da4,5001!

Or maybe I'll just call you "001" for now.

1st column greyed!!!

1:00 am

OK....almost everyone he4 has said the word th4 in the last few mins

1:00 am

I just saw a bit about Bachman. I can't believe she said, "Take the 9/9/9 deal, flip it, and you'll see the devil is in the details." How can she be expected to be taken seriously when she says things like that?

1:00 am

neil, it was decided that saying dart's name is an exception to the PB rule.

Or any other name that appears in there, jilli?

lol you are correct da

same with peri, if you ask me, jilli

1:01 am

like boat just did at the end lol

I think that rule should apply to any Babbler's name that appears in there, if it's a legitimate grid word.

1:01 am

and neil lol

My name appears in many of the grids, but isn't a word anyway.

ae 6, 7, 7

ah sure, but my name isn't a word, dart.

1:02 am

talking about ( that and there)

1:02 am

11 more 7's ughhhh lol

pb and pb

but don't worry, dart, that is an empty th6

1:03 am

Unless I make a blatant mistake in the chog, I pretty much say screw the PB. I really don't care for it. But that's just me. I don't mind if others play.

1:04 am

It's only a joke, boa

1:04 am

been calling ev1 else on it...but no-one seems know which ones i'm talking about

1:04 am

161/161 halfway exactly

Yeah, I send myself there all the time.

1:04 am

reheat

There are goodies in there. :)

And Cabana boys for you ladies.

1:04 am

sammy will tell us

And you, cosdem. ;)

1:05 am

woo hoo!

1:05 am

Like I said I don't mind if others play. And if I a really bad mistake I'll put myself there but otherwise it's just really not a game for me so I stay out.

1:05 am

ty smom

1:05 am

< slinks off to the pb with her biter cacao espresso bark... heh heh

Oh wow. That's funny!

1:25 am

last I heard he went back to Montana

I'm not sure where he is now... I don't know him well, he's a friend of a friend and I haven't seen that much of him. That was four years ago now... and was the last time I saw him.

1:27 am

last time I saw him was about 1991 or so...but still looks the same

Some people don't change much.

1:28 am

he joined a country band...in texas

Haha, ru... and hi. :)

1:28 am

WOW what a small world for you guys xx

I have other photos with that one in a blog, dart. Don't want to post the link to it on here though.

1:29 am

That is a small word, what are the chances?

If you email me at the address on profile, I'll send you the link to it.

are all the v words vi's?

1:30 am

I usually don't click on much when I'm trying to finish a grid...but I did and figured it was him ..or a twin, separated at birth lol

1:30 am

yes Dee

1:30 am

Yes, all the V's are vi's.

1:30 am

yep dee

ty diz!

Too funny. Well if you want to see the blog with more photos of him, email me and I'll send the link.

You want it too, ru? It's my first blog, originally posted in 2007 and recently re-posted, after a hacker took down my website and wiped out all my blogs in it.

Oh, ok... I just have my email open now and could hit reply and send that link.

1:38 am

282 bottles of beer on the wall...

1:41 am

Dee, thought that sr word was spelt str

1:41 am

welcome back, ring

sure was new to me :)

1:42 am

I've never seen it before, the sr word.

is cos still he4?

1:43 am

some Himalayan goats are here but I guess there are only speed demons here and they would already have them

1:43 am

oops -- he4

not I jili

coming to a screeching halt with 60 to go ugh

1:44 am

hmm I cant monkey it out a clue please?

1:44 am

1:45 am

you are both way ahead of me lol

1:45 am

I still have 144 to go -- gross, lol!

hi mel

1:45 am

looking at my c words I am thinking I am missing a bunch there

1:46 am

Hi Dee would you clue the sr please?

1:46 am

sr6 Italian street with no t indian ending

1:46 am

OK, I got the Himalayan goats but not the speed demons...a little help?

1:46 am

I have 10 co words how many are there?

1:47 am

Its a babblet too...... !

1:47 am

the speed demons are neil and cos and dee and dart and...not me.

17 co's

1:47 am

eww ok thank you

def not a speed demon, just tenacious

1:48 am

hi mel

1:48 am

how many 7's? I have 2

1:48 am

volley...you miss the tangleword days...I know

1:48 am

Hi Jill =)

I really do dart

1:49 am

There are 39 7's.

1:49 am

ah, that's what happened to Babble -- the tangleworders arrived

man, some of those folks typed so fast... seemed impossible

1:49 am

no co words, sorry boat

1:49 am

and the bogglers

1:49 am

and maniac mitch...all of the really fast ones he4 are the ones th4 came over from Word Racer

1:50 am

hi ruru

I play Word Racer, dart!

1:50 am

Oh I didn't ask for any co words, but thanks :)

you are correct da

I'm a regular in Social Lounge 7, at Table 1. :)

1:50 am

tangleworders are just semi-fast compared to those

I loved the original boggle site at hasbro, was sad when that stopped, too

And I play Letterblox on OMGPOP too.

1:50 am

my point exactly. Neil

true

Do you play Word Racer, dart>

Woops. ?

letterblox is fun, but not as friendly as tanglewords

1:51 am

but Babble was never a racing game before

1:51 am

I used to play on the hasbro site dee..loved it

1:51 am

no...cause I used to mouse at tangleword...typing is not my strong suit

great group and the tourneys were really fun

I type what seems impossibly fast to most too, Dee. But I write/type for a living.

1:51 am

tanglewords is back?

1:51 am

I moused at tanglewords as well

that makes sense neil

never a fast mouser, but nice to have a choice

1:52 am

I've never heards of tanglewords

1:52 am

Dee you were really good at tanglewords I used to strive to beat your score, lol

Which also accounts for my love of words.

1:52 am

I think my high rating at TW was about 2600 out of 4000...and that was one of the higher mousing scores....th5 were many 4000 ra5 typers

lol mel, ty vm

1:53 am

Dee brought me from tanglewords to here a bout 5 years ago

Oh cool, meliae.

1:53 am

volley brought me he4 too

so glad I brought you both!

1:53 am

boa, I think it was a speed game and competitive, unlike Babble. It was cancelled several years ago and many fans came here -- they're the ones who race.

1:54 am

so she is the source of our addiction, lol

LOL

Laura got me hooked on this... she knew I'd love it. Some other friends had told me about it too, knowing I'm a real word nerd.

great folks he4

1:54 am

*gives dee a trenchcoat*

not seeing cos' ar 7 / 7 / 8

LOL ru

1:54 am

don't really race Jilli...you may think th4 though...we just see words Quick

1:55 am

"come he4 kid.. wanna play a word game?

1:55 am

imagin having this grid and you have a set time to find as many words as you can

It isn't a race here though because it doesn't matter how fast you finish these grids, as long as you do, right? There aren't extra points for finishing early that I'm aware?

1:55 am

2 min rounds I want to say

1:55 am

LOL Ruru

1:55 am

no Neil there isnt

yes, meliae. That's exactly how Word Racer works.

lol ru

1:55 am

yes, Mel...true Neil

correct, neil

You have four grids like this per game... one grid per round, with each round lasting about 2 minutes.

1:56 am

Thanks jili for the description :)

1:56 am

we just like to race each other for fun, and Dart and Dee usually win lol

I need help though mel, da and neil finish on their own... I almost always have stragglers I don't see

1:56 am

oh tangle words was one grid at a time

So you have to gain the most points of anyone at your table, by entering the most high-scoring words you can see. I only play "fives" in that game. That means I'll only enter words 5 letters in length or more... because they're worth so much more than smaller words, it's a waste of time entering small ones.

1:57 am

in TW, you did get an extra point for finding a word first.....1 pt for a 4 letter word...2 for 5....3 for 6 letters, etc...and the extra for finding it first

1:57 am

and some of us don't like to race, just take our time and do it leisurely, enjoying chatting with other players.

1:57 am

nobody is forcing anyone to race...or do icon themes..or chat or anything as far as I know

Oh? You don't in Babble though that I know of?

1:58 am

I like the cooperativeness of this game

1:58 am

quite so, dart

me, too, ru

can anyone guide me to the ar 7's?

1:58 am

I do too, ruru, when it happens

1:58 am

and TW was so addicting you would keep telling yourself, just one more game then I am going to bed, pretty soon your eyes are bleeding and you are hearing that briiiiing sound when the game starts and you realize you just fell asleep on your keyboard, lol

ooops nm just found em

1:59 am

volley..short music piece

1:59 am

compound words Dee a blonde is a prim example, there are also a type of candy with the same name

ar7,28 x 2... ar8,40. All related.

Oh, ok... good.

1:59 am

oh whooops I clued the ai ones

ty all

1:59 am

Wow it sounded intense. Why was it canceled?

of course have the ai's lol

Do you like speed word=finding games, boat?

2:00 am

site went bye-bye

2:00 am

oh some kind of patent issue I think or something lame like that

missing one stupid 8 ...

word-finding, even?

2:00 am

no idea, boa -- do you tanglworders know?

2:00 am

me too volley

2:00 am

I would not be very good at the racing ones. I like to take my time, that's why like this one so much.

2:02 am

I found a neat Ap for my kindle called "everyword crossings" and another just called "everyword" I really like them both

2:02 am

its the witching hour! no typing for 4 minutes

2:02 am

me too. boa

2:03 am

so far no babble like games that I have seen

2:03 am

I like words finds, sure :)

2:03 am

and they just axed the Facebook game Scramble...which was similar to TW but was 3 mins. long

2:03 am

I play words with friends, scrabble like game on FB

did you ever hear why they axed it?

mel, me, too!

2:04 am

trademark infringement I bet, Scrabble is very anal about any games that even look like theirs

2:04 am

nope...should ask FiremanRFDNY ..he had some contact with th4, I think.

I was surprised words with friends was ok... so similar to scrabble

2:05 am

rhonda wetzell look me up over there and add me Dee =)

Well there's www.lexulous.com, which has a game that looks exactly like theirs, although you have 8 tiles in your tray instead of 7. Otherwise, exactly the same game, but not by the same name.

2:05 am

this game is the exact same thing...except 24 hrs vs. 3 mins

2:05 am

I wonder If babble rabble will be sued by scrabble

2:05 am

yep I bet it goes bye bye soon

2:05 am

we do Lexulous on Facebook with friends, neil

:P

2:06 am

Lex was threatened but adapted the game so that it isn't exactly like Scrabble.

I will not use Facebook, jilli. I'm just waiting [and can't wait] to get rid of my account on there. I thought I had deleted it but that didn't work! But now I'm waiting it out just a little longer... trying to get a few more of my college alumni to move over to G+, which has real privacy. Facebook has none and I can't risk posting a lot of personal stuff there.

I have emptied my FB page and put up a silly photo that nobody would know me by.

2:07 am

I know you refuse to use FB, neil -- you've said so many times.

Not one of me.

Oh, ok. Thought you were trying to interest me in that... the Lexulous on there. I just play email games with family and/or friends. Works better for busy people.

2:08 am

<---won't facebook ei6

mel, were you McCracken?

Smart, ruru.

2:08 am

babble chog does not allow for spaces/tabs

2:29 am

a sketch of Michael Jacksons reconstructive nose surgery .. ? Neil?

I know. That's why I put hyphens and dots there instead. But it still didn't work.

2:30 am

Nope, can't tell what that was.

2:30 am

brb I need a glass of wine this grid is getting persnickety

Not even close, ruru... good try though. I can see how you'd see that. ;)

2:31 am

oh what a lovely grid! Am finding biggies like there is no tomorrow.

_ //¯\`-'¯(________________,,, |[=| |=||||||||||||||||||[:::} \__.-._\¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯```

Oh geez. Ok, think I'll give up.

2:33 am

2:33 am

What was that supposed to be?

2:33 am

a guitar?

I tried to send you and mrp a video clip in an email last night, sprite... didn't it work? Figured it didn't because I hadn't heard back from either of you?

Yes, ruru... it was supposed to be.

2:33 am

...er what?

2:33 am

nini Ruru

2:33 am

what was that dart?

Magic words... music to your ears, ru?

2:34 am

No, boat... to mrp and sprite.

2:34 am

2:34 am

OK, just checking.

I'm not sending it to you, because I'm gonna post it on G+ anyway... so you'll see it there.

da4 last 8 is si 8/45

Flu AGAIN, sprite?

2:35 am

thx volley

yqw

It's not exciting anyway. It's just me talking for a couple of minutes.

Normally... not freaking out at F1 cars.

2:36 am

yeah. Lousy health.

You just had flu recently?

<º))))>< ¸.·´¯`·.¸ ¸.·´¯`·.¸ ><((((º>

2:37 am

yep, had one of those 3-day flus recently. Now either relapse or another virus. Who knows.

2:37 am

--------{----(@)

2:37 am

awww cute rbud :)

That sucks, sprite. Hope you get over that soon!

good one neil and rb

2:38 am

thanks neil :)

2:38 am

a rose for you all! :)

2:38 am

yayyy second time for the laughing fence this week

2:39 am

laughing fence?

2:39 am

sounds like an acid trip...

2:39 am

it is a babblet, ruru.

ru, when is your appointment?

------``o ----``\<,_ ---(_)/ (_)

2:39 am

three weeks

2:40 am

That bottom row kinda comes through but the rest, not too sure on...

oh, good, before the holidays! sure hope you get some answers

2:40 am

neil, it does not work, because the chog uses a proportional font. For these beauties you need a font that uses the same amount of space for each letter and sign.

What's this appointment for, ru?

fireworks

2:41 am

gratz

2:41 am

fireworks

2:41 am

lol

2:41 am

WTG Dee :)

2:41 am

it is for a second opinion on my knees neil

2:41 am

gratz

2:41 am

WTG dart :)

lol jinx da!! wtg!!

Yes, sprite... like Fixedsys font.

2:41 am

yay, da4 and Dee!!!!

2:41 am

see volley...you type faster

Oh? What was the first opinion you got, ru?

LOL

dart?

not usually; you must have been chatting too much lol

2:42 am

not a good one neil

2:42 am

yep, for instance. I really like the proportional fonts, but it makes one miss out on this kind of fun :(

What do you mean ru? :(

2:42 am

aw ruru, that sounds lousy. What's with da nees?

2:43 am

I've wrecked them sprite

What was the opinion though... what about knee replacement surgery?

mel, if you are here, I have friended you

2:44 am

{{{{{ruru}}}}} I am so sorry! Will keep fingers crossed for second opinion. You need those knees.

2:44 am

all that knealing in church.. and begging for sex..it's worn them down..lol

2:44 am

I hope you didn't combine those two

Sure, sure.

2:44 am

nope..lol

2:45 am

shoulda invested in kneepads, ru...

Haha, sprite! Glad I wasn't drinking my tea at that moment, geez!

2:45 am

;)

I'm still laughing over that one, haha!

Are you Catholic, ru?

2:46 am

no...lol.. I'm not religious at all..

2:46 am

I am not fond of the Catholic Church as a rule

2:47 am

I wonder if Monica invested in those.

2:47 am

ROFL gapeach

2:47 am

lol peach

2:47 am

she needed a helmeet too I think

2:47 am

Sorry, sprite, just couldn't help it.

2:47 am

*helmet*

2:48 am

I know the feeling, peach :D

I'm not religious at all either... I'm a very secular Jew.

But I figured if you were Catholic you'd be in that confessional box a LOT.

Or is it a booth? I never know.

2:48 am

it's too late for the box neil..

Oh ok, just checked a Catholic joke someone sent me and it says "box".

2:49 am

you can't really blame Monica..

This one...

Tom goes into his church's confessional box and says, "Bless me, Father for I have sinned. I have been with a loose woman." The priest says "Is that you, Tommy?" "Yes Father, it is I." "Who was the woman you were with?" "I cannot tell you Father, for I do not wish to sully her reputation." "The priest asks "Was it Brenda O'Malley?" "No father." "Was it Fiona MacDonald?" "No father." "Was it Ann Brown?" "No father, I cannot tell you." The priest says "I admire your perseverance, but you must atone for your sins. Your penance will be five Our Fathers and four Hail Marys." Tom goes back to his pew and his buddy Sean slides over and asks what happened. Tom replies: "I got five Our Fathers, four Hail Marys and three good leads."

2:49 am

lol

2:49 am

*snort*

2:49 am

heard that one.. I have sicker ones

Oh? Care to share?

2:50 am

no.. maybe on email.. not here

Sure.

2:51 am

you know, my dear old ma had partial knee replacements a few years back, was practically outpatient, she healed so fast. (compartmental? I think it was called.)

2:51 am

Monica makes me think of the description of the perfect woman: about waist-high, pouty mouth, big ears, and flat on top so you can put your beer down.

2:52 am

LOL!! but sprite, you left out the tattoos so there will be moving pictures...

2:52 am

ohhhh true! LOL

2:53 am

(sorry, I live with a "biker")

2:53 am

all Monica was doing was trying to get a position on the presidential staff

2:53 am

Oh ruru, boooooooooo :)

Uh, yeah.

2:53 am

my friends are rockers. I know the scene ;)

2:53 am

*giggle!!* :P

That's sooo bad.

2:53 am

she sure got in position

2:54 am

Well then, she suceeded, didn't she?

2:54 am

:D

2:54 am

smart lady, peach, lol

2:54 am

I did not put a k in that word, ruru.

2:55 am

a missed pun chance!

Haha!

No, but you should have, peach.

2:56 am

Nah, neil, I'm a southern belle....sometimes.

2:56 am

wonder how she explained the stains at the dry cleaners?

Uh, don't read my profile then peach. :P It's peppered with expletives... just to warn you!

2:57 am

In my youth and wildhood, I was offered a job in DC, working for a Senator....never have been sorry.

2:57 am

good morning. yay, a big grid at last!

2:57 am

hope it wasn't ted kenedy

I worked there as a grad student intern, peach, in 2007.

2:57 am

how are your knees, peach?

2:57 am

Hey ruby :)

2:57 am

hi rubyfoo

I majored in Political Science at UCSC.

2:58 am

No, I wouldn't have worked for him.....this one was from TX.

Morning ruby. That's what I said too.

2:59 am

I had a friend who worked in the State Department and I just wasn't willing to work as hard as she.

2:59 am

boy, I really missed a zesty chog!

2:59 am

I'm waiting....ruru??????

3:00 am

yeah, scroll back, ruby, for a laugh! And check out my icon for another.

3:00 am

I can't say anything peach

3:01 am

Good boy, ruru.

3:01 am

she said: my lips are sealed.

3:01 am

but I want to.. ...lol

3:01 am

Yeah, the Senator did too.

You sure did, ruby. I had to cover my eyes.

3:02 am

*sprinkles holy water on neil*

3:02 am

neil you liar :P

Is that to polish my halo with ru?

3:02 am

I don't care what anybody says, I still prefered Clinton to all the others both before and after!

3:02 am

Just logged on. It is the middle of the night where you are but it is breakfast time here. Change the subject you'll be late for nursery school. Pls

Huh, Pat?

3:03 am

hi Pat, it is 10 am here

3:03 am

OMG, I'm watching The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson and the actress Monica Potter just asked if Craig has a mini Port-a-Potty on his desk. It's a mini Tardis from Dr. Who. [:headdesk:]

Late for nursery school? Who was that intended for, if I may ask?

3:04 am

Hi Sprite, 9am here. Good morning

3:04 am

boat, a cultural barbarian, she is!

3:04 am

No doubt! ;)

3:05 am

My friend had to take some papers to Mrs. Lincoln and JFK was sitting in profile. She always liked men with titles.....

Your bio is very amusing, Pat! :) In particular: "The dog does some gardening, then I fill in the holes."

I grew up with two Labradors, in succession. Both pale golden/blonde ones. Great dogs.

3:07 am

au revoir mes amis

3:07 am

Hi Neg, The dog is a better gardener than I will ever be. Come to think even the cats beat me.

3:08 am

au revoir ru ru

3:08 am

bye bye ruru, good luck

You can just call me Neil, Pat... it's my name. :)

Haha! Yeah, the dog's just trying to be helpful. ;)

A bientot, ruru.

3:10 am

Bonne nuit ruru :)

Et bonne nuit aussi... oui.

3:10 am

huh... sidhe not valid?

3:10 am

we could see if enable accepts Fr words!

Apparently not in this grid, sprite.

3:10 am

Sweat dreams, ruru.

I guess "Enable" doesn't like it?

I keep saying it should be called "Disable".

3:11 am

no... another enable blurp :)

Sweaty dreams?

3:11 am

sweaty dreams... and more sheets for the cleaners

3:12 am

Ta Neil, This particular Labrador Oscar is the best ever. I just wish they lived as long as we do.

3:12 am

Enable does not accept a lot of Spanish words, though, that does not stop me from trying over and over and over, etc.

3:13 am

oh me too, Pat. I never want to live without our terra anymore...

I know, Pat. It was heartbreaking losing ours.

3:13 am

the only consistancy of Enable is its inconsistancy

And I really can't have any pets in my life at this stage.

I miss that a lot... haven't had any since leaving home at 18 to go away to college.

3:14 am

consistency... consistancy... consisten...?

3:14 am

I'm picking up what your putting down sprite :)

3:14 am

you can always have a co6/21 though, neil

Consistency.

3:15 am

:) boat!

3:15 am

thanks neil. Had a blind moment.

Can't, sprite. Can't have any pets. I'm single, live in an apartment and travel a lot for work.

3:15 am

Hey sprite :)

3:15 am

*giggles* Sorry neil, it was a bad joke.

One I'm just not getting, sprite?

3:16 am

yeah... co6/21 is a bad bug to have.

Guess I'm missing something?

Oh, you meant THAT co6,21?

3:17 am

yes :P

Why would I want that? Ugh.

I need my co6,21 vaccine. :P

3:17 am

you wouldn't.

3:18 am

ty, didn't have the co6 yet, lol! ;p

Haha, rbud!

3:18 am

lol rbud... keep it that way!

3:18 am

I had another dog with the same closeness He was an alsatian, ex police dog and I still miss him. His handler got divorced and I was asked to look after Duke for a 'couple of weeks'. His new wife had 4 young children, so difficult, and I kept the dog. What a star he was.

I like avoiding nasty diseases, lol.

I love German Shepherds, Pat.

3:19 am

some dogs just enter your he6 and never leave, Pat, don't they

I bet he was... they're so intelligent.

I like cats too but I'm allergic... although short-haired ones don't bother me too much and some, not at all.

3:20 am

Our dog Porsche was an Alsatian. We got her from our former neighbor before he moved back to Ireland. She was a terrific dog.

3:22 am

I always said I didn't want a small dog but I acquired Holsten, part collie/spaniel red like a fox and same size, when my daughter and her husband went to live in the South and were renting. He was a cartoon character and in danger of being shot for a fox! There were other dogs but some do stand out.

Aww. Bet he was cute?

3:23 am

our Terra is a small dog, a king charles cavalier spaniel. But he is ALL dog. Not a lap dog.

3:24 am

I choke up just he**ing about lost dogs. Every time I look at my beloved Ruby, who is almost 9, I think of the fact that chows are short-lived. I feel the way sprite does about her Terra!

yes, ruby.

I feel like that thinking about the dogs I grew up with.

3:26 am

I massage her for about an hour every night, hoping it will make her last longer

3:26 am

there

Aww.

3:26 am

I prefer them to be dogs not fashion accessories. It maddens me when I see them in handbags for no good reason. An old lady nearby did eventually have to take her small dog to necessary places ie vet, trims, in a bag but that was not through choice as the dog had a walking problem. She let him go before it hurt too much and we cried for her.

3:26 am

sorry

3:27 am

that will certainly help, ruby

3:27 am

imagine having a handbag large enough for a 75 lb dog?

Haha, ruby! Who could carry it?

3:27 am

aw Pat :( I agree about letting them be dogs, as they are meant to be. All the fashion stuff, the high squealy voices, the carrying if not necessary... yuck.

3:28 am

brb

And even worse... colored hair rinses and nail polish on Poodles? Yuck. :(

Not to mention those ridiculous hairdos.

3:29 am

nail polish! I have seen that! Some show on TV about a dog beauty parlour cum hotel! I was totally baffled.

Yeah, some people are ridiculous.

3:29 am

Oh have any of you seen those cable shows where people go to town on coloring and trimming their dogs? They make them into strange pieces of artwork. It's amazings stuff but I worry about the dogs.

And ressing them up. Ok, I can totally understand a winter coat on certain breeds in cold climates, sure. But some people put clothes on dogs and other fashion accessories for no reason... ribbons in their hair, etc.

Uh, "dressing" them up, even.

3:31 am

let them do that with dog dolls. Let the dogs play, sniff, run, sleep, cuddle, chase invisible prey etc.

Exactly, sprite.

If you can check your email, sprite, can you just let me know if that email reached you, please... with the video clip attachment? I'd like to know if that worked so I can send it to some other people?

3:33 am

ok neil, will check now for you

3:34 am

The fox-like dog was my husbands first canine pet. He and Holsten formed a gang. My 6' plus husband and this small very fiesty dog were perfect together. And hubbie was shocked at his own feelings when H died.

3:35 am

This is the type of grooming I'm talking about, extreme grooming - http://www.pinkcoyote.net/creativegroo ming.html

Thank you sprite. :)

3:35 am

hm no I don't think it works. I see a link to g+ but that takes me to your profile, which is pretty empty

It's not surprising, Pat. You do get very attached to a dog who's part of your family.

Oh it's very full sprite... it's just you have to be on G+ and connected with me to see the content.

But that link is just my email signature. It's in all my emails. There should be an attachment to that email?

3:36 am

ok in that case maybe it only works for G+ ppl

A file attachment... an mp4 file, video clip?

No, G+ has nothing to do with what I'm talking about.

That is just an email. The link in my signature has nothing to do with the file attachment I sent with the email.

3:37 am

y first dog was a small one, an old neighbour used to say 'we used t'clean windows wi' dogs like that oop north'!!

Haha, Deeha! I heard people talking like that when we were over there last year. Cracked me up!

3:38 am

This is the type of grooming I'm talking about: extreme grooming - http://www.pinkcoyote.net/creativegroo ming.html

3:39 am

see, that is why I shouldn't try doing two things at a time when ill, lol. Yes, the link works, downloads ok and plays fine. Good little piece about your brother.

OMG. What is the point of that? It's not benefitting the poor dogs in any way. Geez.

3:40 am

boa, disgusting. Why do people like that always say the dog loves it? I think I'd love to groom the lady. For hours. Then make her stand and 'prance' for hours. Then make her go through the whole cleaning phase. Tsk.

Oh thanks, sprite. :) Glad to know it worked. Can you tell I was nervous doing that? lol

3:40 am

lol Deeha, indeed! We call those a 'mop on legs'.

Exactly, sprite. I wonder if you can leave a comment like that on that website somewhere?

3:41 am

My jaw dropped the first time I saw any of that, which I think was in an ABC new report. I mean why do that on dogs? Do it on wigs or on scuplture.

NO dog would love that... that poor dog would rather be out running around, playing, sniffing, digging, just being a dog.

No kidding, boat?!

3:41 am

yeah, but it is not obvious, neil. You look pretty natural. Good voice, clear diction, good eye contact and facial expressions.

3:42 am

boa, I couldn't agree more

3:43 am

Agreed. A dog much rather be running around, or snoozing. Not being forced to stand and be primped and preened like that.

3:44 am

I don't think so, neil. This lady doesn't want comments. You can email her, if you want.

I think it's slightly obvious if you know me.

I just noticed that, sprite... that there's nowhere to post comments there. Gee, I wonder why?

3:44 am

lol yes but you asked me, and I don't know you.

3:44 am

I mean when you look at that you can see that those people have tons of talent, just why do it to a dog?

Yeah, I know... and thank you for the lovely compliments. :)

3:45 am

;)

I know, boat. It's total selfishness. And cruel, as far as I'm concerned... to use dogs that way.

Just for the owner's amusement. Do that to a human friends' hair... a willing participant.

3:46 am

It's abuse and we should say it as such. However, too many celebs like 'the look' and 'see my expensive dog and the very expensive collar and even more expensive designer bag he uses'. it causes others to copy them.

Or something inanimate.

YES, Pat. Exactly.

I don't think those people are 'celebs' Pat.

3:47 am

it is abuse, absolutely, Pat.

3:47 am

I hate it but on the other hand dogs love attention and they are getting plenty of that

I've never seen or heard of them. They're just strange, selfish people who don't care about what's best for their dogs.

Sure, but that's not the kind of attention any dog wants. That would take HOURS to do.

The poor dog would have to stand on a grooming table for a very long time.

3:47 am

true, but I think they'd love cuddle and brush and walk and play attention a lot more.

Exactly, sprite.

3:49 am

my dog (yeah it is a spaniel) loves few things more than just snoozing, pressed against me, on the couch. I read, he snoozes, I reach out and cuddle him, he opens one lazy eye, sighs contentedly and relaxes even further against me. Now THAT we can do for hours :D

Aww. :)

3:50 am

I double that aww :)

Ummm, boat? Gonna follow my DC blog? ;)

3:52 am

Neil, I fell out with a friend who had decided to adopt a rescue dog and proceeded to pop it in a basket and 'walk it'. The crunch came when I found out that it lived in a cage, one outside and one inside, whenever it wasn't on show. I told the vet, who called the rescue centre and they re-rescued it. It needed attention. I told her, none of this was behind her back. She and hubbie now have a proper dog and love it!!!

3:53 am

how could she, Pat? Total ignorance? Didn't she realise?

3:53 am

Sure. I read it all. Are you adding anything new to it?

3:56 am

Are we nuts. My black cat prefers to sleep on my keyboard. My tabby sleeps on top of my legs then blames me when I tip him on the floor in my sleep, I apologise. The Labrador sneaks on the bed followed by the black cat and there's NO chance of turning over. PS The friend now has a cat but the difference is the new hubbie who doesn't indulge her and she's a nicer person all round now. WAIT WHILE SHE HAS KIDS!!!

Not to that particular one, boat, because it's an old blog I've reposted, that was wiped out when a hacker took down my website. I meant "follow" it as in click the "Join this site" button and follow with your Google account [Google Friend Connect], so you appear in the "Followers" list?

3:58 am

Followed.

Aww, thanks boat. :)

3:58 am

ah good for her. And LOL about the nuts household. Yeah, kind of same here. Terra is endlessly creative when it comes to sleeping spots. The hollow of my knees. The top of my head. Draped over me from ear to stomach, turning himself into a 1,5 m dog.

You just helped make it look one person more popular. ;)

3:59 am

(and I am the person that said: the dog will NOT sleep in our bed. The dog will NOT sit on the couch. Yeah right.)

Why wasn't the rescue dog a "proper dog", Pat?

And someone who treats a dog the way that person treated that rescue dog shouldn't have ANY dog, in my opinion.

Size doesn't make any dog not a dog.

Or I guess I should say a lack of size.

4:01 am

I have said NO a thousand times. It like one person trying to stop a union. I was much tougher on the kids, as they often remind me. I tell them if you had eaten leftovers then I might have been kinder to you.

Haha! They didn't eat any leftovers?

We wouldn't have gotten away with that... we ate what was served for dinner or went hungry. Parents didn't want any food going to waste.

4:02 am

lol :D I do say no a lot though. And stick to it, and make my dog and kids mind the limits.

4:03 am

Sorry Neil. I meant she treats the now dog like a dog should be treated.

Good for you, sprite.

Yeah, too bad she couldn't do that with the other poor dog though, huh?

4:04 am

They're not fussy with food really but they prefered a plate each and first go at it, if you follow me.

4:05 am

Neil, the 'other dog' has a normal owner, within a week, and is happy enough.

evening all :)

4:12 am

Hi mrp

hi norma :)

4:12 am

Hey mrp :)

4:13 am

Are you keeping well mrp ;o)

4:14 am

sorry, back, was distracted for a bit. Hi mrP, Norma :D

hi boati and sprite (hugs)

4:14 am

Hi sprite ;)

4:14 am

hi mrP *hugs*

am keeping better thank you. :))

4:15 am

good to he4, mrP

4:17 am

How is lickety and the children .... are they well :)

the kids are doing ok thanks, and lickety is getting better. thanks for asking :))

4:20 am

Keep well

i am tired, trying to get some stuff done and the kids to bed within an hour... hahaha! not gonna happen (as parents we know that)

4:25 am

kids know when you are trying for that. It hits their 'postpone and drag' buttons like crazy.

Hi mrp. :)

Oh I'm glad to hear he's getting better!

ah, yes, Pat... if you're still here?

Glad the other dog is ok now.

4:36 am

neil am checking out that game site, looks like a new addiction. Thanks for that *kicks neil's butt into next week*

Which one, sprite? The one linked to in my profile?

4:44 am

that omg site

If you mean OMGPOP then yes, the "Letterblox" game on there is very addictive. Ask dcseain and featherbee, they play it with me. :)

4:44 am

I just found letterblox

4:44 am

that is BAD

See my profile on there?

I have a lot of bling in it, haha!

My dad and stepmom are on there too, lol.

4:45 am

haven't looked at your profile, yet, but you are added as a friend

If you read the postings on my "Wall" there you will see some messages from them.

Yes, because you joined on my link. :)

And thank you for doing so. :)

4:46 am

yvw. I am a sucker for word games. Just got a gold medal, lol

Haha, in my profile you can view my ratings.

And see how many of each medal I've won in that game.

Or stats, I think it's called?

4:48 am

no id4. Ok, better finish this grid, got a few more words to find

Tell you what I'll do, sprite.

I'll send you an email with a list of the profile links for every Babbler who's a member on there... then you can go to their pages and add them all. :)

4:49 am

wow... ok, lol. If you think that is a good id4.

Sure, why not?

It makes it easier to hook up for games if you're logged in there at the same time.

4:50 am

I am usually more the 'play alone' type. I stink at networking.

Meanwhile, you can post a photo and some info in your profile... so they'll be sure it's you. ;)

Oh?

We meet up on there for group games of Letterblox from time to time.

4:50 am

oh that would be fun. And I added a pic of a cat.

It's sent, sprite.

Oh, ok. A pic of you might be nice? Never seen one.

4:57 am

thank you neil. Fireflies!

You're welcome sprite and congrats!

4:58 am

am usually not so free with my personal stuff on the internet. Let me see.

Oh, ok.

5:02 am

ok, check your mail for a pic. Stupid question: how do I use the profiles links to add them to my friends?

5:04 am

162 words, 2491 points. I

5:04 am

nm, worked it out

5:04 am

hey boa, good job!

5:05 am

(Darn enter button), I'm done for the night. Time for some reading then bed. Thanks for the conversation all. Nites! *poof*

5:05 am

oh lovely, reading and bed. *hugs* and see you, boa. Have a good night.

5:14 am

5:53 am

Anybody here?

5:54 am

5:54 am

Big grid. I am having fun finding words.

5:55 am

just monkeyed a ridiculous 9

5:56 am

OOh, I'll take a clue.

5:57 am

it's the plural of ha8 a reptile that sounds like someplace you'd buy a he** covering

5:58 am

ha8/45, ha9/60

5:58 am

starts with mad ha****

5:59 am

Somehow my monkey found it.

5:59 am

6:01 am

BRB, must get yogurt.

6:01 am

7:02 am

good morning

I needto go. I'm not even at half yet.

7:07 am

Good morning!

7:07 am

Hello Trif!

7:07 am

This is a lucky grid for me!

7:07 am

good morning my love. Tertiare has after school stuff today, and she asks that you please pick her up after you get the boyos. does that work for you?

7:07 am

I can make other arrangements....

7:08 am

I am all set. She texted me earlier.

7:08 am

secondo has a game at five, which I would like to at least pop in to for a second. may I collect tertiare after that?

7:09 am

Sure.

7:09 am

you are, as always, a blessing to me

7:09 am

And you to me!

7:11 am

Oooh! One of our favorite movies is in the grid!

oh my! size does matter.

7:12 am

the winona ryder one?

7:12 am

Hello Good Enough!!!!

7:12 am

Yes!

7:13 am

I didn't know you liked th4 movie, actually

7:13 am

Love that movie!

7:13 am

oops.

7:14 am

Car, do you mean the one with miss Ryder and Mr. Slater?

7:14 am

Yes~

7:14 am

she does indeed, movieman

7:14 am

Good morning Movieman!

7:15 am

Hiya everyone!!!!!

7:15 am

And that flick ain't half bad (meaning great!)

7:15 am

movieman, I am glad you are here. my kids and i were just saying there are literally NO movies at the cinemas lately worth watching. have you seen anything good lately?

7:17 am

NBT!

7:17 am

I saw the Re-release of the Lion King in 3d yesterday

7:17 am

well done you!

7:18 am

Oooh...darth vader is in the grid as well....

7:18 am

yes, exactly. the best movie out right now was made what, 18 years ago?

7:18 am

And I shall be seeing The Three Musketeers later today

7:18 am

cinematically speaking, a real low patch

7:19 am

And Real Steel on Friday

7:19 am

Hi Trif...just saw your line of expertise in the grid!

7:19 am

beetleguise is not in the grid...that is my favorite winona ryder movie

7:19 am

thanks car

7:19 am

I like the look of Real Steel, but I think it will get sappy. Three Musketeers....looks silly to me, so I will be very interested in your review.

7:20 am

That is a good one indeed, Annie! Good morning!

7:20 am

hi car. and everyone

7:20 am

I also like Edward Scissorhands

7:20 am

(I was going to say something crabby, like "b*tching is in the grid?" but decided to just take the compliment gratefully instead. personal growth :))

7:20 am

Yes! Excellent! Trif had to talk me into seeing that one and I am so glad she did!

7:21 am

Loved Edward Scissorhands and What's Eating Gilbert Grape is one of my all time favs

7:21 am

I vote for Little Women. I will watch that every single time I channel surf and find it.

7:21 am

Good girl! Don't forget the alternate spelling and what you did when you were on stage.

7:21 am

which one, car.....edward scissorhands or beetlejuice?

7:21 am

ES.

7:22 am

now I am thinking about little women....what a gorgeous movie....

7:22 am

I am such a sucker for deft art direction....

nbt. must get ready for work. enjoy your day!

7:24 am

phantom today: totem

7:24 am

mine is method

7:25 am

what was the ha reptile

7:25 am

?

7:26 am

I thought ruby said ha9 was a reptile?

7:27 am

Oh! I had missed th4.

it is a lizard, but sounds more like a place your by a covering for your head

7:29 am

ha9 reminds me of cape ha******* with another vowel before the last one then unplural for the ha8

7:29 am

thanks lady! thats nbs for me, but still not nbt....

7:29 am

Hi lady! Hi pabtrek!

7:30 am

hi car

7:30 am

crossy, are you still skulking about out there?

mornin'

7:30 am

Whew! Got it!

7:30 am

Morning Mom!

7:33 am

Anyone need coffee?

7:33 am

Trif, so nice to see you. How have you been? I was wondering if you have heard from Zoozoom, haven't seen him in the chat for ages

7:33 am

ty car

i do!

7:33 am

good morning Pab and Car

7:34 am

thank you mom. I have been working SO much that babbling is a real tr5 for me these days. I have not seen zoozoom, but I am hardly one to ask, given how little I babble lately

7:35 am

I was thinking that maybe you kept in touch with him after his episode I think it was last year

7:35 am

thanks for the ha 8 and 9 words too

7:35 am

yes....I think it was. I never exchanged personal emails with him. Felt it would have been intrusive.

7:35 am

I do hope he is well

7:36 am

me too. what a sweet man he is

7:36 am

he truly is

evening all :)

7:37 am

7:40 am

7:41 am

pabtrek, thanks! and hey, I have to ask...is your name a reflection of your love of two particular game show hosts?

i take tea before bed... usually green tea or a nice ceylon.

hi pab :)

7:41 am

{setting out hot water and a selection of fine teas...}

7:41 am

no Trif love for Star Trek, though I do think Alex is adorable

7:42 am

green tea here, will share :-)

7:42 am

oh, okay! Actually, we were laughing about star trek at adult sunday school this weekend, of all places. someone said their son had reached pon farr, and much hilarity ensued

7:42 am

LOL Trif

7:43 am

Well...that is halfway for me. I have a ton of work to do, so I am off. Wishing you all a wonderful day or night. {{hugs}} to all who may need one today.

7:43 am

7:43 am

NOOOOO - don't go my love!

7:43 am

Back at ya, Car. ((hugs))

7:43 am

7:44 am

Have to sweetie. Much to do.

7:44 am

congrats Trif and Car. on halfway

7:44 am

Bye!

7:44 am

Good Morning everyone

7:44 am

bye love

7:44 am

Hi and Bye River!

7:45 am

oh...sorry I missed you car...have a good day

7:45 am

"dehat" -- to remove a head covering by force. should be a word, right?

7:45 am

hi, river!

7:45 am

good morning, River

7:45 am

riverdance! so glad to see you! how are the colors in nh this year?

7:45 am

or rehat - to forcibly put it back on

hi river :))

7:46 am

not as grand as years past but pretty anyway...leaves are falling quickly now

7:46 am

((mrp)) how are you

7:46 am

it has something to do with the amount of rain in the summer, doesn't it?

doing ok thanks river. Mid week run around! :)

7:46 am

I think so and we sure had enough of that this summer

7:47 am

yes....

7:47 am

I suspect it does, trif; ours are dropping their leaves really fast this fall too - we had lots of rain in the spring, then a really hot and dry (although humid) summer, then a cool wet September (now it has been hot again). I think our trees are as confused as the rest of us :-)

7:48 am

I had a terrible crop of tomatoes this year, that is for sure. some of the vines did not set even one fruit

7:49 am

we had alot of fruit but all plants were rather short...didnt even go over the tomato cages

7:49 am

our garden was a real non-event this year - got overgrown really quickly in the spring and then dried out in the summer

7:49 am

we did get a couple of very nice winter squash growing in the compost bin, though :-)

7:50 am

mine too uusue. and I think I was a bit overambitious with plantings, and a bit under aware of how much I would be working.

7:50 am

my carrots are tiny...must have been too wet....gotta love compost

7:50 am

so I will try again next year.

7:50 am

cant do carrots, river....I live on a big old pile of glacier trash, with rocks EVERYWHERE

7:52 am

are all the v words vi- please?

7:52 am

we compost as well and put down horse manure twice a year. We did have a banner crop of potatoes this year. We do them above ground in those round bins....you start with very little soil and keep adding as the plant grows. So much better than in the ground with the critters eating them

7:52 am

easier to dig up too! just dump them out

yes they are Trif

7:52 am

many thanks lady

7:53 am

yawn...crossy hates monster grids:(

7:53 am

hi, crossy!

7:53 am

I guess this is to make up for the 26 of the other day...good morning crossy

7:53 am

oh, crossy dear, there you are! mind if I talk a little shop with you for a tick?

7:53 am

suze!

(((crossy))) :)

7:53 am

go ahead trif

7:53 am

(((MRP)))

7:54 am

My pathfinder needs a whole new front end bumper thing. It's not covered by the warranty, and my neighbor was saying he bought a new bumper for his truck off craigslist and put it on with zip ties and such. what do you think?

7:56 am

i have seen it done,but it is a quick fix at best.i know too many friends ripped off on craigs list.you are better off going to a wrecking yard to get a front end,then getting it affixed correctly at your fav mechanic shop

7:56 am

okay. it's such a bummer.

7:57 am

but thank you very much for the advice!

7:57 am

then again,we spend 6 months plowing through snow and zip ties do not make the grade

7:57 am

I agree, trif - attaching a bumper with zip ties is not a good idea

7:57 am

you just lose bumber #2 that way

7:57 am

bumper

7:58 am

I did ask how much it would be to have it replaced at the body shop, and its a LOT.

7:58 am

those plastic bumper covers we all deal with now have special fasteners and and it is best to get it done right first time

7:58 am

is this a car you are planning on keeping for a while?

7:58 am

well like i say,go to the wrecker for the bumber itself

7:59 am

and is it a second car or do you drive it a lot?

7:59 am

yes it is sue. I haven't had it very long, in fact

7:59 am

and its my first car. right now I am driving primo's car, since he is away, and thank god, or we would all be walking

7:59 am

I would worry about the bumper falling off; if that happens at highway speeds you would be in real trouble

7:59 am

and did you know,you can get a ticket or a warning for quick fixes like that ?

8:00 am

I could put it through the insurance company, but figure that once I pay the deductible, and then the jump in rates over six years, or whatever, it's cheaper to just pay cash for the repair

8:00 am

your rates shouldn't change much for a single claim

8:01 am

but I had a claim this year on primo's car as well....

8:01 am

half way with NBT - time for breakfast - see you all later

8:01 am

well done, river!

8:01 am

bye, river!

8:01 am

you can get an entire bumper asswembly at a wreckers for 300 or so and another 200 or so to get a proper mechanic to affix it

8:01 am

and I must leave too, see you all later!

8:02 am

really? I was quoted over $900 at the body shop, but of course th4 included the price of the parts too

8:02 am

thats right..you do not need a brand new part

8:03 am

the wrecker is your friend

8:03 am

how do I find a wrecker yard? I mean, what do I search for?

8:04 am

phone 1 or 2 up,give them your cfar specs and ask how much for them to remove it and have it sitting there to be picked up(many offer remove it yourself prices as well)

8:04 am

car

8:05 am

for instance i needed a back door for a car once,i told them all my car specs and they quoted me 2 prices,one if i show up with tools and hunt and remove it myself,and another if they find it and have it ready for me

8:05 am

think the entire dorr was 30 dollars

8:06 am

what are they listed under? car salvage? wrecker lots?

8:06 am

look up auto wreckers in your phone book or online

8:06 am

thank you!

8:06 am

and do not be afraid to phone 3 or 4

8:07 am

and have the exact year,make and model of your car ready

8:07 am

you want the price to have it taken off the wreck and waiting for you..you might also ask how much they would charge to put it on for you as well

8:08 am

now,the newer the car,the more you will pay as there will be less of a later year in a junk yard

8:08 am

wow, I googled it and found a right old list. Not one within 50 miles of me, but I could swing it

8:09 am

let your fingers do the walking.pick 3 or so closest and see what they can dig up for u

8:10 am

give them the specs,they will wander the lot and see what they have and call you back..say my husband wanted me to get price quotes on this bumper

8:10 am

ah, yes, the old "my husband" requirement.....sigh. what year is it again? LOL

8:11 am

sorry,but they will still try to zing ladies with the higher price

8:12 am

trust crossy

Oh hi crossy.

At 6:12 am.

8:12 am

howdy neil

8:12 am

brb,store run..semi poink

8:13 am

thanks again crossy. you are my hero!

Nice to see a sane, reasonable, down to earth person after the bizarre "conversation" I've just had the misfortune to be briefly involved in... ugh. Just... UGH.

Oh well... that didn't last long. lol

8:15 am

Good morning friends

8:15 am

I am so sorry to hear that, neil

8:15 am

hello herin, and bob

Hi Mr Bob and herin.

Hi back. Neil no point arguing with stupid people you can never really understand them

ahead

Haha, it's just someone I suspect has probably missed taking a dose of their meds this morning, Trif. Something definitely isn't right there.

Hey look speaking of stupid (penalty box in under a minute yah me)

8:17 am

... never argue with stupid people ... they will bring you down to their level ... and they have more experience there ...

No, I left after the person started an argument out of what had been a pleasant chat, based on nothing but their own invented presumptions about someone they know nothing about [me]... and proceeded to call me "arrogant" when all I did was repeat something they said and ask what they meant, because I wanted to make sure I understood. Trying to be fair, you know? Geez.

Haha, doseffing. That's very true.

8:18 am

I appreciate it, herin, as I had missed that one

I fear I did feel my I.Q. drop several points lower while trying to reason with that moron. I'm sure I'll recover from the experience.

Trifs I should have just stayed lurking

8:21 am

I am happy to see you in the chog, herin my dear oen

8:21 am

one

You can never totally avoid typing grid words in here. I sent myself to the PB last night just by greeting another Babbler!

Trifs all good for you?

8:22 am

ooh, neil, I just checked out your profile. Where did you go to college, if you don't mind me asking, and did you study photojournalism?

8:22 am

yeah, herin, it's goodl. mr. h4 left for the old sod today. wish he would do us a favor and stay.

UCSC, for Political Science.

8:22 am

hows you, herin?

Good about to go to bed.

I did have a journalism class and photography also.

8:23 am

thank you neil. my daughter is keenly interested in photojounalism, so it's good to have someone to ask

But my intention was to become a political writer. Didn't quite work out that way.

8:23 am

we are looking at Boston University at present= they have an excellent program

How is T handling uni Trifs?

8:24 am

you still could get there if you wanted to, neil. never say never

Although I worked as a temp grad student intern in Washington DC for 3 months in the spring of 2007.

8:24 am

he is ridiculously happy, herin. He picked the right school, and is loving college. I am so happy for him

No. I'm happy with what I'm doing now actually.

Good good

8:25 am

neil, I would say she is more interested in the photography aspect that really keeping up with politics and such. can the two be separated?

He must be having a great time FB has been very silent

8:25 am

he is BUSY herin, too! They WORK the first years at his uni

Trifs Photo-journalism?

I thought you said she was interested in journalism, not politics?

8:26 am

yes, indeed. photo journalism

Or did you mean journalism and photography? It wouldn't be wise to separate the two... photo-journalists are more in demand.

8:26 am

but must she follow politics closely to be a good photo journalist?

Photographs are often needed to accompany articles.

Well no, because not all assignments will have anything to do with politics. But it's a good idea to have a good general knowledge of anything newsworthy, including that.

Excuse me for being nerdy but does anyone know when the iOS5 for apple is coming out?

Excuse you for being nerdy? I'm about as nerdy and as much of a dork as it gets.

8:28 am

okay, thank you. I do half wonder that with everyone whipping out their phones with cameras every two seconds, photojournalists may go the way of the dinosaur

I'm just not a geek... and that is what I'd call "geekky", not "nerdy". ;)

"geeky" even... geez.

Typos must be excused this early in the morning.

Trifs a man made a butt tone of cash by using film not digital in the Clinton fiasco

Yeah, cellphone cameras can be a real annoyance.

That was then, herin. This is now. I shoot with a digital camera... most do. Much more convenient. And of course they're better and better quality all the time.

I do have a film camera too though.

He used Dig and film

But I've had it for several years already.

8:31 am

I wish people were able to find peace in themselves and could let peaceful ones to themselves. Wish they could leave their discriminative ways and COMPLEXES and try to listen and understand. Effing up someone's morning mood shouldn't be that easy...

Well said Jane

8:32 am

thanks, nice to know someone understands:)

Funny you should say that. I've just encountered someone like that already this morning... however I'm not letting it bother me. It's their problem... so I just left them to it.

That just reminded me I have to go to the store and get film processed

8:34 am

Well it's too late for me now... Have a minor ache in my stomach

8:35 am

okay, that's all the babble time I have today. It was so nice to see so many lovely friends! oh, how I miss having time to really play!

Hugs Trifs

Oh? I don't let people like that bother me... if I did I'd probably feel like that a lot, considering how many of them I encounter in various places. Can't let it get to you... not worth it.

Take care Trif.

8:36 am

bye, trif!

8:37 am

and hi again all, had to reboot my work computer, almost time for class now!

Hi Sue

Hi Sue! :)

8:38 am

Yeah but I can't help it..And even though I'm pretty upset, I would want it any other way..I think that is my problem I care about people and their arrogant ways.

Almost time for me to return to bed and try to get a little more sleep. :P Haha!

8:39 am

Yeah judging and putting stamps on people is the easiest, the virtue is in understanding and making amendments I guess..

8:39 am

Thanks for listening anyways...

Bye all

8:39 am

alwaysaguest

8:39 am

:)

8:40 am

bye

Oh I don't. If someone is presumptuous and ignorant enough to accuse me of being "arrogant" just because I'm well spoken, and wanted to make ridiculous assumptions about me... including that I'm a "paparazzi" without even knowing me in the least, that's their problem. Yes, someone was actually that unreasonable with me in what had been a pleasant chat, until they made a statement I didn't understand. Then my asking what they meant to try and be fair, resulted in being called "arrogant", etc. Interesting. Takes all kinds I guess?

Uh huh. I figured it was that idiot who just got very nasty with me in a chat on OMGPOP for no reason, when we were having what I thought was a pleasant chat... take note everyone! The person I mentioned when I came into the chog? That's him/her/it.

So obsessive, they even followed me here to try and continue the argument they started for no reason. Amazing. Some growingi up needed there I'd say if not some serious psychological help.

Uh, "growing up" even... too early for accurate typing, geez.

8:45 am

talking aboout complexes

8:45 am

already has written 5486128465 pages

8:45 am

he others idiot, moron

8:45 am

d calls themselves well spoken

8:45 am

nd very mature

Oh, so you apparently can't count either?

Grow up.

Yes, thank you. That I am. You on the other hand, stalking someone obsessively as you are, are not.

8:46 am

if growing up is what you have done i'd rather stay as a child

You're acting like a moron, yet think you're not going to look like one? Ok.

8:46 am

no, I was already on the site

I haven't done anything. That woudl be you.

8:46 am

when you first gave me the link

8:46 am

then I saw what you wrote

Starting to insult me and try to create an argument for no good reason, when we'd been having a pleasant chat? Yeah, ok.

Yes, what I wrote was simple fact.

8:47 am

OK kids....this is supposed to be a nice place...relaxing....getting away from it all....

8:47 am

I didnt insult you

8:47 am

and good morning

i'm sorry to intrude but babble is a safe place, this does not feel safe to me.

And what you are doing right now is stalking me and trolling, which is not well tolerated on here, FYI.

8:47 am

sorry guys

I left our chat because I did not intend to engage you in the argument you wanted to create. I'd had enough before it got a chance to start, thanks.

OK, enough.'

No, ladycece. I'm sorry but this clearly obsessive, deranged stalker has followed me here from OMGPOP.

I'm about to email Dr. God to have it removed.

8:49 am

:S yet you still go on spewing all this insults

RED ALERT

probably a good idea neil.

8:49 am

both of you just STOP

8:49 am

take it off line guys...

You're the one who was doing that, to me. That's why I left. Now I wish you'd just leave. Nobody asked you to follow me here and start your crap.

Marmar, it followed/stalked me here. I'm emailing Dr. God to have this troll removed.

8:50 am

neil...stop...it just keeps it going

8:50 am

I understand, but it's so uncommon here, unnearving!

8:52 am

9:27 am

should be the last weekend in Oct

9:27 am

they moved the spring one to March

9:27 am

I'm not sure when, but they extended Daylight Savings time a week or two on each end.

9:27 am

thought so

9:28 am

Then I'm not crazy - thank phae! but calebdar says nov6

9:28 am

How does Daylight Savings Time change the grid flip time? Isn't 1AM, 1AM no matter which system you're using?

9:28 am

no change - it starts like 2 in the morning

9:29 am

I think since we go back we may get more time

9:30 am

9:31 am

10:41 am

ty mom

10:41 am

(((LBD))) hello

10:41 am

oh! LBD!!! (((((hugs and hugs))))) I have been thinking about you. Any luck with getting a new job?

news is only depresswing

10:41 am

have a great day, Stid

10:41 am

hello ibdawger

10:42 am

you're welcome Sadie

10:42 am

job hunting is very depressing, stid. how's the subbing?

10:43 am

good luck with the job hunt Ibdawger

10:43 am

wish you lived down here LBD, a local bookstore is moving into where Borders use to be and they are hiring the people who use to work there

10:43 am

I am sorry, LBD -- I have one job lined up for Friday, but nothing so far this week. It has been frustrating to sit here -- hurt my arm a couple weeks ago so shifting boxes and such is out of the question for now -- so I have been indulging my babble addict more than usual.

10:44 am

we love having you here Stid, but so sorry about your arm

10:44 am

thanks, sadie, ahh, mom wish i lived there too! poor stiddy. owie on the arm!

10:44 am

I miss Borders, have had to go to Barnes and Noble a couple times, and I really don't like that store as much. I liked the fun, quirky, knowledgeable folks at Borders.

10:45 am

ouch stidmama that hurt I bet good luck also on job hunt

10:45 am

thanks -- the arm is getting better, but as usual when I "push" it sets me back. I am learning patience the hard way. On the PLUS side... I have been getting a lot of training time in for subbing, too. And it really helps me when I go in to classrooms.

10:45 am

B&N is very conservative, likes to cater to the "intellectuals" read that as snobs.

10:45 am

amen to that LBD

10:46 am

LOL there you go... and yet Borders had the same selection of books and was friendlier.

10:46 am

I don't like pretentious people - or stores.

10:47 am

me either! will go out of my way to go elsewhere

10:47 am

Borders tried to snob routine, but most of the employees rebelled

10:47 am

my book shoppe will all be older hardcovers,the old book smell in the air,a candy dish on the counter,antique inkwall for decorations some plants 2 cozy wingback chairs in the corner with a few of todays papers on the table and a fire in the fireplace and a cat named italics on the counter lol

10:47 am

inwells*

10:48 am

anyway, I think I will head out. Just wanted to check in with you, LBD. Hope you will all have a lovely rest of your day. I might pop in to my friend's classroom later this morning... it keeps my face in the minds of teachers who are planning time off. ;-D hey cross! *scatters lovely choclits on the way out* *poof*

10:49 am

11:01 am

sadie, my small town crap high school was so pitiful re languages, I took Latin from the local Catholic priest after school with 14 other kids :-)

11:02 am

3:43 pm

3:44 pm

Ty bethn. I had lunch at home and am seeing a misty afternoon with yellow honeysuckle leaves falling.

3:47 pm

it is rainy here and cool, after 5 days of 80 degree weather. i guess fall has truly arrived. Several of our trees are starting to turn, then comes the raking

3:48 pm

We pray for wind (the neighbors probably pray for a northwind, we want a southwind.)

3:50 pm

hahahahahah....we live at the bottom of a slight hill we get everbody's leaves. i always threaten to put up one of those orange mesh construction fences to block them

3:52 pm

We get the weather first and then it goes inland to Idaho and Montana. We get the rain and they get the leftovers. Meanwhile it is quite peaceful in our part of the country.

3:53 pm

where are you at stidg?

3:54 pm

NW of US. Washington.

3:54 pm

friends just moved to seattle, they love it there

3:56 pm

The gray months (those are the ones with an r in the name) plus June, July, and August tend to get on peoples' minds. But after awhile, we forget about the heat and humidity of other parts of the country and are quite smug.

3:58 pm

i used to think i would miss having 4 seasons, as i get older and winter approaches i am not so sure, i could probably live quite nicely with only three

4:00 pm

For us, the season this past year was so uniform that I keep looking around for summer but realize it is time for Halloween. So, I got out the decorations and bought new orange towels with pumpkin faces and candy corn themes.

4:02 pm

i used to decorate for all the holidays, my back is not in good shape now so hitting the attic for the decorations is not in the gameplan I have candy corn towel envy :)

4:03 pm

When I saw the candy corn towel, I was like a kid in a candy store and was ready to buy it at any cost. It was half price.

4:05 pm

ooooh very hard to resist half price. I have to restrain myself from buying new each season thus alleviating the need to go into the attic for said decorations.

4:07 pm

Come on down to GA bethn. The winters are very nice, only need a sweater. My bones like it here. LOL

4:07 pm

We don't have an attic. We have storage under the eaves and the doors are easily accessible. When I retired from teaching, I purposely did not bring home all possible holiday decorations.

4:09 pm

We are being told our winter will be like last year's winter. Snow, cold, storms. So I bought a new popcorn popper. I think we're ready.

4:09 pm

i can close my eyes and see colorful leaves, pilgrim hats, flowers all the things that used to be on our bulletin boards when i was a kid. you are the model of willpower and restraint

4:09 pm

can someone help w the first ai7/36?

4:09 pm

please and thankyou

4:10 pm

Oh, I also have a bedroom (not any more) that has boxes of really good stuff. Some of it is from my mother and grandmother and great grandmother and none of us could throw it away. Family photos and the like.

4:10 pm

4:26 pm

Sue... you will probably keep those 7 lbs off. Usually if you lose weight quickly, you are inclined to put double back on again even more quickly

4:26 pm

<Words of wisdom directed at Sue's retreating (slimmer) back....

4:27 pm

later sue!

4:27 pm

JMC, dare I ask... How is your house?

4:28 pm

ah well they have built a frame and i picked the siding colors (see icon) but the rain has brought every thing to a halt again

4:28 pm

they say 8 weeks!!!!!! *sob*

4:28 pm

*sniff* but it is just a house

4:29 pm

frame = good; siding color = good; 8 weeks = not so good

4:29 pm

you need more choclits. *sends 787 loaded with choclits to jmc*

4:29 pm

8 weeks will still get it done before the worst of the winter.

4:30 pm

And it WILL be done one day...

4:30 pm

i am going to buy appliances to help me feel better

4:30 pm

Your heroism is commendable, JMC, and duly deserving of Mama's choclits.

4:30 pm

oops...

4:30 pm

4:31 pm

4:31 pm

ty soodle

4:31 pm

you need a princess bed, jmc, with the pretty velvet curtains that wall you off from the rest of the room. Like they had in old castles... *drifts off into castleland*

Constant references to one's nether regions can cause some anxiety, JMC....

6:22 pm

hello all

6:23 pm

a meaty grid, at alast

6:26 pm

Hey there, peri and Shirlocke.

6:27 pm

hi gap, I am a Reiki Practitioner too.

6:27 pm

May I please have a clue for he5-14 the 3rd? Thanks

6:28 pm

Oh, great to know, peri. Do have a group?

6:28 pm

not anymore

6:29 pm

I was in a nice group several years ago but it fell apart :(. would like to have another but I would have to start it myself

6:29 pm

I wish we still had a group, but people move away, etc.

6:31 pm

gap is that your e-maill addy in your name

6:31 pm

It might be easier to start one now....I think more people are aware and are interested. In CT there were ads in the paper and signs in a lot of places.

6:31 pm

where are you

6:32 pm

Peri, add 23 to the numbers and that will be it.

6:32 pm

I could put up flyers but would need a place to meet. don't think my sister would like strangers in her home

6:32 pm

Augusta, GA.

6:32 pm

he 5/14 3rd one is he + *** Spiegel, a German magazine

6:32 pm

ok, was thinking it might not be a good idea to have an e-mail in your name

6:35 pm

Thanks much, bichon.

6:37 pm

No, hon, it isn't in my name.

6:38 pm

peri, we used to meet at a church and health food places (that had an extra room).

6:38 pm

B

6:39 pm

we used to meet at Borders at first and then at people's homes. we meet several times in my apt cause it was midway from most folks. but now I live with my sis and bro in law

6:39 pm

A lot of people who are into health food and such are more apt to be aware of Reiki.

6:40 pm

I wonder if the church where I volunte4er for the food pantry would let us use space in the parish harll. will ask. but I need to find some reiki folks around here.

6:41 pm

I put up an ad in the whole foods market and/or trader joes. both are near me and then ask the church

6:41 pm

Most people who advertise charge for treatments....that is something I could never charge for. Is there a newspaper that you could put in a line or two?

6:41 pm

I am considering being re-attuned.

6:41 pm

I do charge for a reiki session

6:42 pm

there is a free booklet in whole foods but I would need to pay for ad . might just be easier to post a flyer

6:44 pm

Lots do.....I saw on TV in CA a man had about six tables lined up and he walked between them while "sending".....well he said he made a good living.

6:46 pm

E

6:46 pm

Yes, do try to get the word out there.

6:47 pm

I need another table. I have a Reiki table which was made to order and it is really too low for me. A massage table is adjustable. My table is not and has metal legs. I saw it advertised in the back of Lee Rands book but ordered one from a place near me

6:47 pm

bbl need to find food.

6:48 pm

49 left and stuck, bbl too

115? Too late in the day for me .

Name that proper author from "This American Life"

David Se*****

My stupid cat is eating leftover Brussels sprouts.

Really. Then she will upchuck it in the middle of the living room.

didn't mean to kill chog. I'm just in for a quick one.

7:06 pm

hi kap

7:06 pm

I thought This American Life was a radio show and cats upchucking makes me queasy.

7:06 pm

Hello all.

Hi JM. You know, I forgot to finish that 26 word grid. I never got the ch's.

David Sedaris reads on the radio show and writes books.

He's sort of a commentator.

7:07 pm

Hi Wht

Which reminds me of one of my favorite dumb jokes. Why didn't the Idaho potato let his daughter marry Harry Reasoner?

Cause he was just a common 'ta***.

Almost put myself in the PB with that one!

7:08 pm

Bah-dum-ching

7:09 pm

good one kap

Whew! That was close!

7:10 pm

PB for Kap for the last message.

.......

No---I didn't quite get into the PB, did I?

I didn't say it.

7:12 pm

Did you all know that some people get offended by the PB thing? I read some chat about that the other day. Isn't it obvious that it's a joke?

I was really really close, but my word had an O.

I think it's sort of like saying the secret word on "You Bet Your Life."

I like the food in the PB so I'm not offended.

7:15 pm

Why do thye find it offensive?

7:15 pm

who the hell is offended by the PB?

7:15 pm

I've always thought of it as a humorous reminder to not post words in the chat log. Hey Lil.

7:15 pm

That is just retarded, and I'm sure I just offended someone by saying retarded, and I don't care.

7:15 pm

Hi Bea

So am I in the PB or not?

7:16 pm

Hello, Molly.

7:16 pm

i'm happy to be penalized if i mis type

7:16 pm

Let's all just break in the PB and who cares

I'm offended that they're offended. I find that offensive.

7:16 pm

and the food is good in the PB

7:16 pm

Th4/5 put you there.

7:16 pm

cootie

7:16 pm

so there!

OHHHHHHHHHHHHH- th4!

7:17 pm

And hey, if chat is bugging you for some reason, turn it off. I have it off more than on these days.

7:17 pm

Whaaaaaat???? How do you turn chat off?

7:18 pm

well when we have trolls it's not worth having the chog

Why Molly- has chog been bugging you? And have we been getting a free pass on words like th4?

7:18 pm

Click "Who's On Line"

7:18 pm

I love seeing "certain" people get their knickers all in a twist when a troll is in the chog LOL it's hysterical

7:18 pm

Click on the speech bubble next to my friends

I hope I am not a troll. I would be disappointed.

7:19 pm

we like you kap.

7:19 pm

Kap, sorry got called away. Normally I wouldn't call you out for th4 but for it to be in a message about how you missed the PB was just too ironic to miss.

7:19 pm

even if you need to be in the PB.

7:19 pm

I love the PB

7:20 pm

I love it when trolls are here and people pretend there is an ignore button.

7:20 pm

Molly, email me who it is who gets offended by the PB

OK, wht, I can live with that.

7:20 pm

stuffing choclit's in the PB>

7:20 pm

need the word after th4.

7:20 pm

I will if I can remember Lil.

7:20 pm

Molly you just gave me a funny idea

7:20 pm

I will send you a FB message about it

7:21 pm

And I love how Molly always calls out the ones who pretend there is an ignore button.

Now I wanna know. It's like being in middle school.

7:21 pm

How do they pretend there is an ignore button

Hi everyone!

7:21 pm

The one after th4 is the place to see plays

7:21 pm

Do they type <ignore> like that?

7:21 pm

It's just dumb Bea. And people think they are out of the loop because they don't know about it.

7:22 pm

th wht

7:22 pm

if lickety's clues are brought up, the page can be minimized and moved over to cover up the chat.

7:22 pm

No Lil, they tell people to click on the IGNORE button and to "check their email" for how to do that. Of course there is no email.

7:22 pm

From now on, if certain drama-makers are in the chog, I'm going to type <ignore>

7:23 pm

I really don't care who is offended *hmpf*

I really think that taking comments in a chatterbox seriously is overheated.

7:24 pm

yes Kap

7:24 pm

There is actually an ignore feature on most message boards where you can have certain people's comments blocked from your view. I would love it if they had that here.

7:24 pm

I would like that too, Molly and hello all.

7:24 pm

oh me too Molly! I imagine we might have some of the same "ignores" on our list

7:24 pm

hi peri!

7:24 pm

If I don't want to read the chat, I just click on my friends and it is covered

7:25 pm

he7/36, the one after the purple flowers?

Who who who??? (says my inner 7th grader.)

7:25 pm

Hi back again with almost 200 words! I feel so lucky today.

9:09 pm

9:09 pm

ewww don't want to try them

9:09 pm

I LOVE THAT SeaSpray!!! Smore PEEPS

I won't even ask how those making that comparison know what ass tastes like, herin.

9:09 pm

the PR's that is

So SeaSpray... how do you get and keep a fire burning in the rain?

Neil this was a review from a State side friend

Sea: http://tinyurl.com/3jxhll6

9:11 pm

a good boy scout can not only keep a fire burning, but start one in a down pour!

Ok, but I'm still not gonna ask. Don't think I want to know! lol

9:11 pm

DAWGER !!! ( HUGS)

I'd love to know how that's done, lbdawger.

You wanted Halloween mallows. This is pumpkin flavoured

9:11 pm

(((DR)))!!

9:12 pm

$18.95 for a bag of marshmallows???!!!

9:12 pm

My Hubz has done it on several camping trips, when we were young...and i still went tent camping.

9:12 pm

hi again, all!

You've gotta be kidding?

9:12 pm

9 more words and I will be half way...

[to the $18.95 bag of marshmallows]

9:12 pm

suze!!

Cross not the price but the flavour. I have no idea what your stores are

9:13 pm

Hi UU

Oh yeah, dawger?

9:13 pm

Start a BIG fire and keep piling on wood...My husband used to carve a jack o lanter face on a 6 foot hallow log with a chain saw....that would burn all night

Hi Sue!

9:13 pm

Go UU

And it is 10onz x 3

9:14 pm

herin the square marshmallows look great...haven't seen them yet

9:14 pm

Hello uusue2! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

9:14 pm

yeah, he's quite the boy scout. scrounge for dry wood or mostly dry wood, built a ring of rocks to contain the fire, then proceeded to strick the match to some kind of tinder, some of it was cotton fluff.

9:14 pm

I seem to have left my phone in my office - am debating whether I want to go back and make sure it is there, or wait until tomorrow...

I remember seeing these on Our Best bites

9:14 pm

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

9:14 pm

best way to keep a fire going in the rain is to have a good base of coals,and set up a longer log on a line of rocks about 2 feet high and as it burns you can feed it into the flames..you can get flames very high this way

Oh interesting, dawger.

And crossy.

9:15 pm

and hi, lbd, crossy, neil, herin, min, sea!

9:15 pm

setting up the tent was another thing...i ha4 tent camping!

As I said I don't live in the states so I have no idea on your supermarkets and stores

Camping is over rated

9:15 pm

right, once you have a big enough fire the rain won't put it out. getting it started in a downpour can be annoying, though

9:15 pm

for big parties we used to have 15 foot long logs and support them on picnic tables and feed it to the flames

9:16 pm

lol sounds like fun crossy

I'm amazed a fire can keep burning in the rain, Sue?

9:16 pm

no 15 foot logs involved, just a lot of tending to the fire and the coals.

9:16 pm

sr6 help please?

9:16 pm

have to be carefull though,the fire can get out of hand easily

9:17 pm

sr+ **vertisements + **ppy New Year

9:28 pm

Hi MrP- thanks for all you are doing for us

Hi mrp! :)

I can try sending again... but check your Gmail too maybe? I sent it to both addresses.

The one I sent in an email?

Where I'm talking normally... not agitated? lol

Hello, DR

10:24 pm

Hi Jellen- Good to see you

10:25 pm

I was doing homework :-P

10:26 pm

We are writing a Roman Newspaper from 597 AD

10:27 pm

Sounds much more fun than my assignments!

10:27 pm

are you chisling it in stone?

10:27 pm

LOL- nope- colored pencils

Remind me never to get on your bad side, DR1965. "Cap'n Agnes SkullCrack"? Yikes.

10:30 pm

: ) scary isn't it?

I'm scared.

*shaking in my flip flops*

10:30 pm

nice :)

10:32 pm

what was your homework about, Jellen?

10:32 pm

Love the visual, Neil...

10:32 pm

flip flops? hahaha! we call them 'thongs' here.

Thongs are something else here!

I'm in light summer clothing again... damn hot here.

10:33 pm

One assignment was an opinion post about Wikipedia as a suitable research source.

Making me miss SC badly already.

10:33 pm

thongs there are g-strings here... i suppose cause they only cover your g-spot!?? LOL

Uh, considering how innacurate I've found some of the pages on there to be, Jellen, I wouldn't say so.

Haha, mrp!

They sure don't cover much.

They leave you feeling a little em-bare-assed.

10:34 pm

jellen, our kids are not allowed to used wiki in any assignments

Good plan, mrp. There's a lot of misinformation on there.

10:35 pm

Yup.

10:35 pm

on all assignment booklets it states: Please DO NOT use Wikipedia. This is not a reliable source of information.

10:36 pm

we dont use it either

No kidding. I've found several inaccuracies in the pages of some people I know... wonder who posts that info?

You can edit the information yourself...that's the problem...

Yep.

10:37 pm

The best Wiki articles have links to authoritative sources.

But apparently they hadn't... other people who didn't know the facts did it.

Of course, Jellen.

10:38 pm

I can't remember which news show had a segment on wikipedia, but they were saying they found all sorts of inaccuracies in it.

10:39 pm

one anchor said it was like a facebook or myspace bio page, filled with stuff that could be made up and no one the wiser.

Yep. I've found all sorts of inaccuracies in it. So that doesn't surprise me.
