1:11 am

Can't speak for stid

1:12 am

1:12 am

you are way up there jilli.. you are a real leader in this

1:13 am

Oh, I see -- seniority yes -- and stid's been here longer than I have.

1:14 am

haven't seen neil tonight yet

1:14 am

we're all in it together jilli

1:19 am

I'm pooped now -- Happy Hour at my place this Friday. The hour has stretched to about three, and instead of a few nuts and bolts with a couple of drinks has eveolved into a sort of finger-food dinner -- tonight involved a shrimp circle with dip, warm camembert cheese with hot pepper jelly, peppery paté, assorted crackers and baguette slices, bits & bites...

1:19 am

sounds good jilli

1:20 am

and good company, mellowed with booze and wine...

1:20 am

fireworks finally...but didn't peek

1:21 am

there were 6 of us eventually (some came in late)

1:21 am

Wunderbar, dart!

1:23 am

nice jilli sounds fun

1:25 am

It is fun, ruru -- we circulate hosting each Friday, just neighbours and occasionally visiting friends or family, all very compatible, luckily.

1:28 am

and nbt

1:30 am

nj jilli...gonna head off to bed...nite all

1:31 am

me too -- aching back and total fatigue. Busy tomorrow too -- and Sunday. Where does all the time go?

1:31 am

Thanks, dart.

1:31 am

yw pooof

1:33 am

And pooof here too **

2:05 am

anyone know the spell for warding off the little red boxes of death? Say it now.

dach... I believe it is 'For F**k's Sake!!! Just let me enter my bloody words right now!.... oh, and please.'

2:53 am

nope, didn't work. I think I just woke up next door though.

as long as you had a key mate!

2:55 am

no, I mean I awoke them by shouting loudly at the appearance of the little red boxes of death.

ah!!! hahahaha!! :))

well, it has been happening often.... especially around the 2am mark... doesn't seem to remove itself for a couple of minutes

I am not sure if it is a 'babble burp', or 'babble hiccup'... but it is bloody annoying and 'add word' needs a good talking to and possibly some counselling and interegation of some sort... without bail.

2:58 am

Someone kick Dr Gods arse for him.

i have several torture techniques that leave no marks! except mental ones of course :))

dach, i have to laugh, cause if anything happened to Dr God, we would be prime suspects! LOL

Jamie is a good bloke... I think that the 2am hiccup/burp is part of the program that he just can't seem to determine. If you are using babble expert, the words will be added there, then you can 'send to babble' after the redboxes of death are over

3:02 am

whatever happened to the 'new and improved' babble that we were promised months ago?

life got in the way?? babble is complicated and needs more testing for new additions?? Dr. G is working hard to get rid of bugs in the new and improved version?? He has a new girlfriend/boyfriend?? Someone broke into his house and stole his collection of babyborn dolls?? I am only guessing

personally, i haven't done a grid for about 2 weeks!! But got the clues up as was humanly possible

and you note there, i DID NOT say 'humanely' possible

3:07 am

hi everyone

ANDREE!!!!! *****HUGS****!

3:07 am

fair enough. i've got a hangover and therefore grumpy and its far easier to take it out on those that aren't visible than the dog (a fact that the dog is oblivious of but incredibly grateful for nonetheless). Anyways, is there a list banging about today cos my brain's fried (or at least a bit sauteed).

hmmmm. a list. that would be lickety's list... have you asked for the exe program??

3:09 am

yup, using it (its fab, thankyou), but no list on there today.

for real!!

3:09 am

is this just another symptom of my ailing computer and mind?

ok, will go look at fixing that up.

Clues are up

ok, is clues up yet??? and are they ok??? please??

3:13 am

clues are up here

3:13 am

my clues are up OK, mrp. it's me that's the prob!

thank you andree!

3:13 am

clues have been up here. and thanks. Fireworks

lol mom!! isn't that the way!!

on ya book!

dach, close the program and reopen, bloody bugs all round lately.

3:14 am

Now it is bedtime. good night

3:14 am

ya book

3:14 am

okay, I think its just me then. Firewall must be blocking it for some reason. Probably afraid it'll warp my fragile little mind. Time for some computer maintenance methinks. Probably with a hammer.

nite book :)

ah dach, did that a few months ago... and asus replaced everything for me! :) cause I threatened to become a vicious killer of computers

had to clean out the cache... stupid cache should clean itself out really... like I am responsible for EVERYTHING??

3:18 am

can't get the clues up on my laptop either, and thats on a completely different wireless network. Bit odd. Any other Uk users online experiencing same issues, or has fate decided that today is a good day to pee on me?

3:19 am

clues r up in england

3:21 am

righty-ho then - its just me. hammer time!

3:56 am

lol

3:56 am

no not yet here

3:56 am

as in pardon my F....lol

3:56 am

the best response to that, BTW, is "Oh? I speak French!"

3:57 am

*giggles* "I speak french and believe me, sistah, what you just said was no french!"

3:57 am

I have fa x 4, fe x 5 & fr x 3. Missing one more.

3:58 am

I am still missing 4, sorry

4:00 am

Don't be sorry - just work your magic and find the rest so you can tell me what I need - please ...

4:00 am

I have fe x 6

4:00 am

lolllll ok ok

4:00 am

O.K. looking for it now - thanks.

4:04 am

babble blindness. Common thing here.

4:05 am

you are going strong, ruby!

4:05 am

weakening fast

4:05 am

oh the 8 is fun

4:05 am

stats, pls?

4:06 am

the d7 was a new one for me.

4:06 am

ho8/50

4:07 am

that d has appeared in earlier grids, but it is surely an odd one

4:07 am

hm, putting monkeys to work for both of those

4:08 am

Then I must have seen it here before but I certainly have never used that word.

4:09 am

bye for now, see you after lunch

4:09 am

83 words! amazing for me

4:09 am

me neither! One of those 'only in babble' words. Very nice for scrabble and such though.

4:10 am

ruby, keep going, you are doing great.

4:11 am

I need 2 H's and can't see them at all.

4:13 am

that might be the 2 scots words, for haunt.

4:16 am

h4/12 and 5/26... the points may help

hi and nbt

4:17 am

hi and gtz

4:17 am

fireflies. One of the fastest grids in a long time.

4:17 am

thanks sprite, I'm looking.

4:17 am

oh and bye ruby, sorry, didn't read that post

4:18 am

don't know if it helps, Dianne, but to me it always sounds like the sound someone might make when being punched in the gut.

4:18 am

Why did I say that - I just looked and I have those 2 already. I've got 9 ha and 6 ho.

4:19 am

lol

4:19 am

it is 10 and 7

4:19 am

So one more of each (why couldn't be one more + s?).

4:20 am

grin, ikr

4:21 am

Goot the 5 (forgot to add the s - as in stupid me).

4:21 am

I also "got" the 5.

sprite could you clue the ha4 & 5 please

4:21 am

happens to me all the time. I forget plurals, or worse, singulars. Past tenses, 3rd persons...

4:22 am

Jjenny, there are a lot of ha4s and ha5s. Which ones do you need?

4:27 am

finally "saw" that little bugger.

Sprite ha4/12 and ha5/26

4:27 am

Anyone need any clues?

4:27 am

oh, lol, those are HO and not HA. Does that help?

4:28 am

wtg Dianne!

thanks sprite

4:29 am

Bad time of year for the upper respiratory system.

9:19 am

Sure is! Did see the doc yesterday. Confirmed what we already know, but I don't have pneumonia. She gave me an inhaler, so now I am actually having a productive cough rather than just a dry, wheezy cough.

Gosh, sounds uncomfortable.

Hi again

10:53 am

10:53 am

Can't believe my old chogs are still here.

10:54 am

No Blank tiles and no blak stats,

Can't leave the wolf lonely, they're pack animals. lol

10:55 am

indeed

10:55 am

: )

10:55 am

hi Christini (that was blank; not blak; it means there is a word for every tile and a word for each length of words

10:56 am

Any body got the 8

10:56 am

A compound word, I think.

10:57 am

i just requested stats for it,so iam not sure

10:57 am

Thanks Nef

10:57 am

Maybe

10:57 am

I'm slow; I was looking for Wolfie in the chog!

10:57 am

Oh...sorry Nef.

10:57 am

sorry, I just got here and that's the one I'm looking for too (for my NBS)

10:58 am

hego knows that my icons are always the wolf and my spirit totemitseems acording to mymrs

10:58 am

damn space bar

10:58 am

the 8 is a compound word, if ever I were to use, it would consider 2 words

10:58 am

Hmmmm....

10:58 am

Trying again. If I were ever to use it, I would consider it two words.

10:59 am

Crossy I agree with the Mrs

10:59 am

guys running the inn

10:59 am

hint for the 8 pls

10:59 am

yes

10:59 am

Same first three letters?

11:40 am

12:04 pm

12:05 pm

3 children equal 6 grandchildren if one is lucky these day. Rosie is a third!

12:07 pm

ahh, looking forward to grandchildren one day, but my 2 are in no hurry. Both married but not yet ready for kids. Very sensible

12:07 pm

hello everybody

12:07 pm

hi ruby

12:07 pm

But bet you're ready! Daughter married first and waited EIGHT YEARS - I was so broody.

12:08 pm

12:09 pm

Well done you! Daughters or sons?

12:09 pm

12:11 pm

daughter lives quite far away for work purposes and really wants to be nearer to me before she starts her family

12:11 pm

hi ruby. I was just going to say I love being a grandmother; so much so that I "adopted" a neighbor and her 2 kids (she's from Iran and both sets of parents have passed on; went through post partum depression when I told her I was adopting her). They have since moved to a larger house about 1/2 hour away; but I'm still Gramma to them! :-) (My own grandson is just 2 1/2 and there won't be another child I was informed

12:11 pm

I was first a Grandma at 52 which, I guess, these days is quite young

12:12 pm

I could have been a realy young grandma (my son was born when I was 20) but he and his wife don't want children (her decision)

12:12 pm

tea's ready, bbl

12:13 pm

you are all lucky!!

2:45 pm

4 lbs of powdered sugar, 1 lb of butter, 1 lb of velveeta cheese, 1 cup cocoa and 1 tsp vanilla.... mix butter/cheese on stove top til melted, then stir in sugar/cocoa mix then add vanilla,.... put on cookie sheet and chill

2:47 pm

2:50 pm

phantom semen

2:51 pm

2:51 pm

i learned of pimento cheese from his parents, too

2:51 pm

pimento cheese is delish

2:52 pm

i first had it when i was 10 and i hated anything cheese.. i loved it and when i ate like 10 bricks they told me it was made with cheese. iw as shocked .. its incredibly sweet though.. paula deen made it on her show once

2:52 pm

never had pimento cheese but want to try

2:53 pm

tom told me that Ellen had Paula Deen on to make it.

2:53 pm

but as a rule i never tell people its made with cheese until after they try it lol

2:53 pm

otherwise they wouldnt even want to try haha

2:54 pm

yes, just as i don't tell people my pumpkin pie is tofu-based till they've tried it. I do let them know it has soy ingredients though, for allergies

2:54 pm

oh its tofu? is it made with pumpkin as well or just tofu?

2:55 pm

An upright in a balustrade. Hmm, round these parts we call it a stair rail post. : P

2:55 pm

1 lb tofu, 1 lb pumpkin, fresh or canned, season as usual, blend it all well, bake as a custard

2:55 pm

huh molly?

2:55 pm

yes, that's the common term, molly

2:55 pm

oh interesting.. may have to try that.. i love anything with pumpkin

2:55 pm

Oh, ok.

3:02 pm

the internet company gave the techs the wrong address and they shut off our internet instead of our neighbors and they wouldnt come out to take off the filter til today

3:02 pm

so 2 days of stealing another neighbors wifi with only one bar... was annoying

Oh man.

I bet.

3:02 pm

and they're only giving us two days credit for it

3:02 pm

there, tomato added to mirepoix and water on for pasta :)

3:03 pm

By the way, do you ever see any of my posts I make to "Extended Circles" on G+? Curious, because something Seain shared to his never showed up to some of us?

Yeah, my dad keeps telling me that... not that he's losing any of his, but some of the men in the family have. More on Mom's side.

And those who have were losing it at my age.

3:17 pm

mine is thinning somewhat.. it's kind of a drag..

3:18 pm

hair tends toward the mother's side

Well I should get off here again and be a better host. :P Just had to finally get around to doing the grid. Break over... back to cleaning the car I'm selling.

3:19 pm

my hair is like my moms, though lighter in colo, and just like her 1st younger brother's, if much darker than his :)

Fun, fun. I just want to go to sleep.

3:20 pm

the sauce smells umami-rific! YAY!

3:20 pm

have fun, neil

You sure come up with some interesting terms, Seain.

Oh yeah. The fun and the joy... hold me back.

Gotta take it through a car wash.

3:21 pm

going to the carwash, going downtown now...

So, later. Take care guys.

3:22 pm

My car is so disgustingly dirty that a car wash would not even clean the hunk of junk! I so want a new car!

fe5/26 word follows same pattern as me 5/22 suefrad

5:34 pm

down to 19

5:34 pm

Thanks kje

5:35 pm

not either of the two I have

5:36 pm

The fe5/26 is the name of a city in Northern Morocco

5:37 pm

fe5 is plural of the little red moroccan hat

5:37 pm

A fe* is a hat worn by Shriners

5:38 pm

Put the definition into Reverse Dictionary & it is 3rd word on list and then add plural ending to it. Me 5/22 follows the same pattern as the fe 5/26 word suefrad

5:39 pm

Sigh! Over halfway...must get some work done now. Later!

jmc, I missed your good news!

6:11 pm

I know...sometimes I cant tell what the tinys are...

6:11 pm

Riverdance, I LOVE French Silk Pie! Eat it every year for Thanksgiving dessert. It is a pain to make though

6:11 pm

so glad you enjoyed it...it is one of my favorite desserts

6:12 pm

it takes work to make something worthwhile!

6:13 pm

how do you cut the threads minver?

6:14 pm

That is so true in all aspects of life Riverdance. I was spoiled by having other people always make the pie. I have to do it myself now, but that is ok. It's worth it

6:14 pm

Cut the threads???

6:14 pm

hello ruru

6:14 pm

Haha! I get it!!

6:15 pm

I guess I will leave the recipe up a bit longer then...thought about changing it to another...let me know folks

6:16 pm

uu i have a wall and two floors -- picture tomorrow

6:16 pm

yay!!!

6:16 pm

I have so many good recipes.Did not know which one to post in my profile, so I did not post any recipe.

6:16 pm

wait, a wall and two floors? not two walls and a floor?

6:16 pm

hi ru min left you dangling

6:17 pm

Min...post your favorite....

6:17 pm

nope a wall on one side and the first and second floor

6:17 pm

I mean, yay anyway, I'm just trying to picture it :-)

6:17 pm

ah, cool!

6:17 pm

well look for the picture tomorrow

6:18 pm

will do (between reading)

6:18 pm

boy i just realized why i eat so much chinese and indian--none of the other carry out menus sound good

6:19 pm

so wish we had delivery where I live...nothing like that...and carry out...by the time I get home it is cold

6:20 pm

that is what a microwave is for river

6:20 pm

ewww...doesnt taste the same

6:20 pm

one of the advantages of being in a university town - lots of delivery options (none of them exactly gourmet, though)

6:21 pm

tried that with chinese...yuk...then put in the oven on 200 degrees and dry...just not right

6:21 pm

I for once would like to pick up the phone and order pizza but no can do where I live...I am in the woods

6:22 pm

tofe

6:22 pm

oops sorry...

6:24 pm

well during the week i have the some problem--i can only order delivery on the weekend

6:24 pm

mostly it tastes the same from the microwave as long as all you do is heat it

6:25 pm

hmmm new chinese restarant--i am having dims sum it think\

6:25 pm

Well River, for a positive spin, think of all the money you are saving. Ordering take out all the time is expensive. And not exactly the healthiest way to eat.

6:26 pm

yes I know Molly but for that rare event it would be nice.....oh well....I guess I must keep cooking...lol

6:26 pm

and hello Molly...nice to see you

6:28 pm

hi molly

6:28 pm

well microwaving packaged food is expensive too and this way i usually have left overs

6:29 pm

I have done that too...dont get me wrong...just wishing for a better way

6:29 pm

i'm dreaming of a kitchen for christmas, just like the ones i used to know. . .

6:30 pm

with the stove top cooking and friends all looking. . .

6:30 pm

lol jmc....I will upon a star for you too

6:31 pm

river i bought a silicon microwave steamer that reheats rice and cooks fish really well

6:31 pm

To see, JMC a glow...I know

6:32 pm

all aglow i think scans better molls but ty i was struggling with that phrase

6:32 pm

I have a rice cooker that I love...take a bit of time but the best sticky rice.....not a fish person here...my husband and son love it but not me..

6:33 pm

*Packs up lyrics case and moves on* : (

6:33 pm

it also reheats chinese well is the point

6:34 pm

what!?! no molls lyric writing is a collaborative art!

6:34 pm

my DH and son and the ultimate fisherman and hunters....eat everything the catch and shoot....not for me....so much rice and fish or birds are cooked here

6:34 pm

whats wrong Molly

6:34 pm

is it something I said..sorry

6:35 pm

no it was my fault river i tweaked her song lyric and she took it hard!

morning all :)

6:36 pm

hi mr p

6:37 pm

6:45 pm

Come on really!With the so little amount of parmesan cheese in the salad kits, like that is going to make or break your fatness!I think I should right Dole a letter

6:45 pm

6:45 pm

it is fun to be on line on a plane

6:46 pm

6:46 pm

6:46 pm

6:46 pm

6:46 pm

6:46 pm

It has been so long since I have flown that there was no internet access on any planes the last time I flew.

6:46 pm

6:47 pm

i always feel a little guilty when i do it though after all of those years of making us turn everything off!

6:47 pm

LOL rururocks!

6:47 pm

6:47 pm

Kje thinks I'm Donald Trump apparently

6:47 pm

6:48 pm

*wraps one strand of hair around head twenty times*

6:48 pm

the donald has no sense of humor which i would not say of you

6:48 pm

eek

6:48 pm

LOL

6:48 pm

but the wealth would be nice

6:48 pm

*shudders*

6:48 pm

I couldn't be that wealthy

6:48 pm

If Donald Trump babbled, we would not be sent to the Penalty Box, we would all be FIRED!

6:48 pm

6:49 pm

oh really?

6:50 pm

may?

6:50 pm

yep

6:50 pm

a conference ???

6:50 pm

cool...

6:50 pm

if i do, i will catch you and ask for the usual recs, so be thinking

6:50 pm

I love tiramasu (sp?) do you have a recipe? I have never made it

6:50 pm

let me know if I can help you with anything

6:50 pm

okey dokey

6:51 pm

I have made it, the best recipe is cooks illustrated recipe

6:51 pm

LOts OF GREAT NEW RESTAURANTS

6:51 pm

*gasps*

6:51 pm

go to cooksillustrated.com and search - they explain their recipe too so you don't screw up things like oversoaking

6:51 pm

gasp?

6:51 pm

why?

6:52 pm

from shouting

6:52 pm

what did i miss

6:52 pm

ah

6:52 pm

soaking??? need to do soaking??? lol

6:52 pm

Don't have a recipe, but I can look one up on internet

6:52 pm

well, I will need to visit one or two... can't wait!!!

6:52 pm

I really don't care for the taste of Tiramisu.. never did actually

6:52 pm

I have been on cooks.com many time for great recipes...will try the illustrated one...thanks

6:53 pm

you soak the cookies in a coffee alcohol blend

6:53 pm

ahhh

6:53 pm

but not really, more like a quick dip - people end up with overly soggy tiramisu if they soak

6:53 pm

if you had mine, you would like it ru

6:53 pm

I've used cooks.com recipes, but I like allrecipes.com

6:53 pm

do not argue with me

6:53 pm

send us some kje

6:54 pm

will have to try that one too

if there is a recipe site that shows you how via video, that would help with the 'oversoaking' issue

6:54 pm

IT's often too sweet for me..

6:54 pm

I tend to use my own moms or grandmoms recipes the most

6:54 pm

cooks illustrated is the most reliable for this recipe - trust me on this one, I do know of what I speak

6:55 pm

mine isn't too sweet... come on, look who you're talking to.... too sweet! LOLOL

6:55 pm

Kje ... tiramisu savant

6:55 pm

just general savant ; )

6:55 pm

cooks.com is alot of prepared stuff...I want from total scratch...anyone have anything for a chicken stew...have some chicken I want to cook down and do something with tomorrow

6:55 pm

P.H.D. in whipped cream

6:55 pm

6:55 pm

6:56 pm

6:56 pm

6:56 pm

*us

6:56 pm

so mrp how are the kids...and sports

6:57 pm

bye kje

6:57 pm

Riverdance, I just posted a Tiramisu recipe in profile.

6:58 pm

I have the proud mama look....my son played his last JV high school game yesterday and they won 4-2..my son getting 2 goals and then last night was our first indoor soccer game and they won 16-0 with my son getting 7 goals...as proud as I was for that one it was not a fun game...felt sorry for the other team...they were out of the league

6:58 pm

*wonders where ones gets a masters in whipped cream and what kind of whip is required*

6:59 pm

wow river!

6:59 pm

our boys even played alot of the game just passing....it was very sad

6:59 pm

electric whippers are good for me...if I had to do it by hand...you would have to admit me to the hospital...lol

soccer is a great game... watching it now. And congrats on your striker boy!

7:00 pm

Is it called soccer inAustralia or football mrpresident?

7:00 pm

thanks mrp...it is a great game and my favorite to watch...I cant keep stilll always jumping out of my seat....

it was called soccer until 2 years ago, then got changed to football

7:01 pm

and after all Keith has gone through with his heart and surgeries...I could not be prouder or more scared...take your pick....

but, we have 3 different types of football here... so I try to use the soccer term to describe what I referee

LOL river! it is exciting... i am always jumping out of the way of the ball! LOL

7:02 pm

indoor is actually my favorite to watch....so fast paced and exciting...combo of hockey and soccer with executing that ball off the walls. it was quite a transition from going to afternoon outdoor to evening in one day

nothing makes you wet your pants faster than getting hit square in the crotch by a 200km hour ball kicked only 5 meters away from you.

7:03 pm

well you are an official of course...they are always jumping out of the way of the ball....

7:03 pm

may do that now laughing...tough getting old!!!

it makes the spectators eyes water too LOL

7:04 pm

*gets out rubber boots*

7:04 pm

Its my fav sport...just love watching my son...you understand I know....

river, I had some young Turnip give me a mouthful cause the ball hit me, and rebounded to the opposition... he was telling me that i had to restart play with HIS team having the ball...

7:05 pm

so outdoor is now done for us...no rubber boots needed....indoor just starting....gotta love it

i told him to shut his mouth, that i was part of the fixture and deal with it!

7:06 pm

ya right...what age group do you ref>

7:06 pm

has anyone seen wildcat lately?

7:06 pm

*?

7:07 pm

not for a while ruru...

i ref from 12's to over 45's... mainly i do all age mens and womens games

7:07 pm

33 left and stuck...think I will go on FB for abit.

7:07 pm

wow mrp..thats quite the stretch of ages...good luck

during our summer season here... i do outdoor night football, starts at 5.30pm and goes to 9.30... so start with the 16 year olds and end my night doing two mens all age games

7:08 pm

we have good refs and not so good refs....wish they all paid attention and not favor either way

the over 45's are the worse!!! they are like big babies

if you think a ref is favouring a team, you tell the officials

7:08 pm

I can see that...the older they get.........

7:09 pm

the boys let it go....the men dont.....

7:09 pm

i saw her a few weeks ago ru

sometimes, it is like the football is their pacifier, they lose it and have a temper tantrum

7:10 pm

its not always worth it....last year indoor playoffs...the ref had his grandson on the other team...called everything against us and nothing against the other team....we are good sportsman so we didnt fight it...it is what it is...our boys were proud of what they did and thats ti

if he was an official ref, i would report it... and... they should not be reffing family in my opinion

7:11 pm

we are trying to teach our boys the right way.....sometimes it is hard when other are cheating...

7:12 pm

I agree..we are a small town...small league....political...wont get far...let the boys have fun and we explain the politics..they already understand

the last time i reffed my son... i called him on three fouls and an off-side, and his team mates were saying... 'God, your mum really doesn't like you!'... it made the other's see there was no favouritism and the match went really well for both teams

Luke just said, 'Nah, she plays by the rules... she is tough like that'

At one point, I threatened to send him off and his team were flabbergasted by that! LOL

7:14 pm

good for you..it should be called if it is wrong....its amazing how some refs call everying and others call nothing.....we have teams that purposely put our players offsides....I am constantly yelling at my son to watch his offsides.....its just not straight up wherever you go....sad to say

7:14 pm

my mother was always harder on me when i had her as a teacher

indeed river... it is a tactic that is not against the rules, to put players offside is actually taught by some team coaches... it gives them possession of the ball and possession is what matters in the end

7:16 pm

mrp..you are teaching your son a great lesson...I am trying to do the same with mine without knowing all the rules..he does though...so when I ask why something happened...he readily admits his wrong or his teammates wrong...got to love it;

7:16 pm

bbl

see ya jmc

7:17 pm

I know...just seems dirty play to me but I am just learning the game as it really counts now...didnt in younger years

7:17 pm

bye jmc

i couldn't bear my mother being my teacher in school... I would have left school LOL

7:18 pm

me either...

7:18 pm

I actually brought my Mom to Keiths last JV game yesterday...she absolutely loved it....yelled thoughout the game...I was shocked...what a grandchild will do that a child cannot...go figure.

from 12 years on, the off-side rules apply and i try to encourage the parents of the 11 year olds to respect the ref, cause they get confuses and upset at times when they are called on things, things they didn't know about... it is just AMAZING to me how many coaches don't know the rules!!! or bother to look them up and teach the kids... so I ask the parents to do it

7:20 pm

My Mom is 83...I was so proud of her cheering the team on...she was so excited they won and that Keith scored 2 of their 4 goals...she told be she now has bragging rights...go MOM

good on mum!

7:22 pm

Offsides is very confusing....I am constantly watching the line since the first year that applied to Keith... We get called on it alot but for our own inattention...not for the other teams creating it.;

my son is a striker too, and he plays to win WITH his team mates... that makes a good game! And he gets half or more of the goals too. I yell from the sideline all the time! is good for the heart! LOL

the players has to be behind or on par with the second-last defender (the goalie is counted as a defender you see)

7:24 pm

Keith is the top scorer of the JV team...I am so proud...yes I have been called a fence shake because I am always calling from the sideline....absolutely love the game...Keith has been mentioned in the local paper almost every game win or loss for his efforts...I hope he makes varsity next year

and that is ONLY at the point that the ball is kicked.... so the ball could be kicked, and the attacker starts running at that point past the second last defender... that is not offside, even though he looks like he is offside, he wasn't when the ball was kicked

7:25 pm

mrpresident,just saw your post about not being able to have your mom as your teacher. I had my mother as a teacher for 2 years. She taught all of her kids at one time or another when we were in 7th&8th grade.

7:25 pm

hmmm..I always left at him to get above the line of the defendes

however, if the attacker moved past the second last defender into an off side position BEFORE the ball was kicked, that is offside

7:27 pm

too much to look for....ball kicked...when someone moved...where there positions were....god love the refs....

and, a player can be standing in an offside position, but if he isn't involved in the play of the ball, and the player that received the ball was onside, there is no offside, even though an attacker was standing in offside (that attacker didn't go for or touch the ball)

7:28 pm

my son was always the only back with the defenders...so when the ball came..he started his sprint...he is fast and always beat the defenders..whistle blows and out....ugh!

river, it is 110% concentration for every single second of the game... and if you take your eyes off it for a nano second, something happens and you have lost the power to make the right decision... it is bloody exhausting and I ref 4 games a day in winter and 5-6 games a night in summer

7:29 pm

I envy you my friend...I couldnt do it....good show~

just teach him to stand just behind the imaginary line of the defender... as soon as he hears/sees the kick of the ball to him, he runs... and that is not offside! the ref needs to be reported if he/she is not clear on that rule

are the assistant refs on the sideline calling the offsides??

7:31 pm

I will say goodnight to my babble friends and off to FB...anyone coming? Have so loved chatting mrp...you have taught me alot.

7:32 pm

Goodbye Riverdance! I'll see you tomorrow in the log.

have fun river... i have packing to do :((, watching the rest of this football match on tv, then off to the dungeon I go. Great chatting to you too

7:32 pm

Assistant refs...what is that...we have two officials...one on either side of the field

7:33 pm

Next time mrp....enjoy your trip

with a flag???

7:33 pm

goodnight babble friends

7:33 pm

what flag?

7:33 pm

this is USA vs. AUS...ugh

so there is only a ref in the centre, and no refs on the sideline???

7:34 pm

Gwen, you've earned your way into the smart people's club! 12 left

8:23 pm

hallo jellen

8:23 pm

hi, jellen!

ha, ty but that club is really only for people who are good at math -- go ahead and ask me why

8:23 pm

Why?

i took a sample entry axam one time, and it was all math and logic (which is math) questions, and i am not good enough at math to get in!

UNO

8:25 pm

Go Gwen!

fire!!!!!!

8:25 pm

see there's some math and language skills in one post there, gwen

8:25 pm

interesting--never knew that...that would opt me out too!

well, if you aren't good at math you won't get it. i am good at language only

8:25 pm

grats Gwen...10 behind you

8:26 pm

nice work gwen!

and my last word was what you wear just after a shower . . .

8:26 pm

Hooray for Gwen!

8:26 pm

Actually you don't need to understand math to solve logic problems - they are different things. A good example is Sudoku - that's a logic puzzle that needs no math.

logic devolves to math. i tried for years to improve my ability to do logic problems and was not able to. i can't do math in my head either

8:27 pm

Hello, joc

8:28 pm

hi there

music, on the other hand, which me5 does not test for, i'm really good at

8:28 pm

ugh, 7 left and may have to list, haven't gotten any since gwen was at 15 or so :)

8:29 pm

7 for me too

8:29 pm

Having a brain that can handle math most probably helps with logic

chess and scrabble also have heavy math components and i'm terrible at both

8:29 pm

what letters you have left babs?

hard to clue you without you open the list, hmmm

8:31 pm

***hugs*** to all!

9:36 pm

Goodbye gapeach1066.I'll see you tomorrow in the log

Jellen! :)

9:36 pm

nbs

sue ! :)

min ! :)

where is my crossy?? oh crooooooooosy!??? ***kisses***

I found my glasses, so can see you all so very beautiful

9:39 pm

oh, good, mrp! didn't realize they were lost!

9:39 pm

I am playing letterblox now & supposedly somebody is cheating. Not sure how you can cheat at that game.

i have been looking for this particular pair as they are trifocal... otherwise changing glasses for long and short distances

9:40 pm

(((mrp)))

9:40 pm

ah - I have bifocals and take them off when I need to read something really small

(((((crossy))))))

i am amazed at trifocals... just fabulous really.... can do puter work, watch tv, and see my gorgeous view of the sunset

9:41 pm

crossy is learning to rebenave and trying to deal with his fist pair of glasses at 47!

and damn it I am going to enjoy that view for the next 3 weeks! LOL

9:41 pm

rebehave*

oh darling, you poor young boy you! glasses at 47! I feel for you sweetie

9:42 pm

I always thought the sections on trifocals would be too narrow - but they work ok for you, mrp?

9:42 pm

:)

they are very good usue, just don't shake your head or nod when reading LOL!

9:43 pm

i only need them for reading

9:44 pm

might look into them, mrp

i did pay the better $$ for them... got them about 6 months ago... important to pay the right money or you get rubbish... in this case you get what you pay for

9:45 pm

I have vision insurance - it doesn't cover everything but I do go to a good provider

crossy, i didn't know i had eye problems until I became a pilot... i could read the instruments no problem, but when it came to visual ... i was squinting

and I was only 15 years old!

same sue.... I had to pay about $240 extra

9:46 pm

you became a pilot at age 15, mrp? I am very impressed!!!

sue, I have done some amazing things in my life... many wonderful opportunities came my way. Have had a very interesting and happy life

9:47 pm

and we are about the same age i am guessing mrp,if not,you are too hawt to be risking yourself in those small planes!

9:47 pm

very cool, mrp!

there is NOTHING on this planet like getting in a small aircraft, taking off and heading wherever the hell you want.... 5000 ft in the air, all on your own!! It is almost like a survival skill... a rush

if God had wanted me to fly, he would have given me huge breasts! but alas... have to use a fixed wing plane.

9:49 pm

I had a friend who was a pilot, and went up with him - it was great even though I wasn't at the controls

before 9/11, i got to sit in the co-pilot seat in every airline I went up in!! that was amazing too!!

9:51 pm

i always love the bush float planes..landing on a smalll ake that looks like the size of a postage stamp surrounded by trees is a rush indeed

oooooh, i did that about 5 years ago crossy!

9:52 pm

once the trees clear on the shore,you have to drop instantly then cometo a grinding halt before you hit the other side

that is just like Lord Howe Island... you have to jump the mountain and drop really fast to make the top of the runway or you skid straight into the forest

9:53 pm

fireworks! last word was first we4/9

9:53 pm

Hooray for sue!

9:53 pm

we used to go on one week fly in fishing trips..would not think that a old otter could carry all that beer;0

that is fun.... knowing there is a runway, dropping like a stone (cause you float out of your seat) and landing 2 wheels to 1 without breaking the plane up

9:54 pm

yaa for sue!!

on ya sue!

9:54 pm

Congratulations uusue2 on your fireworks!Way to go

9:55 pm

landing at Los Alamos was interesting - the runway goes off the end of a mesa (mountain on the other end) so taking off is easy, you drop off the end

9:55 pm

but landing, there can be funny winds up the cliffs and you have to hit it right

9:55 pm

those planes do not bother me mrp,the way i figure is that if the pilot messes up he is right there with me to land in the tree tops

ah crossy and sue... us pilots have one thing and one thing only in our minds.... protect and keep our passangers safe.... if I mess up a landing, i pull up and go around again for another try... done that a few times

sue, wind shear is my biggest fear... slams you down like hammer

9:57 pm

what about hose up and down drafts over smallmtns..thosemakeold crossy almost toss his cookies

i am not so proud that i think i am a perfect pilot... it is like an 'unwritten oath'... you don't mess with people's lives

9:58 pm

Tomorrow's icon theme is EvaNadine's wedding.Is she getting married tomorrow? Sorry to change subject.

ooooooh, a wedding!????

9:58 pm

i thought she tied the knotalready

9:59 pm

It says EvaNadine's wedding day suggested by FMitch

9:59 pm

weddings are fun :-) (I should know, I've had enough of them myself :-P)

9:59 pm

i think her 1 year is coming up

10:00 pm

LOL sue!!! luv it! maybe I need another one?

10:00 pm

10:01 pm

That's what I was thinking, maybe it's an anniversary

10:01 pm

i know dee has been looking for shoes for a wedding

10:01 pm

I have not seen EvaNadine or FMitch in like forever!

10:02 pm

eva hasn't been on for a long time, not when I am on anyway... i miss her

10:03 pm

hullo

10:03 pm

Wish there was a search option in rankings.You type in a name and their profile pops up.Looking for her in rankings to read her profile to see if she is married.

10:03 pm

Hello jesdraggon!How are you doing? Welcome to grid

10:03 pm

Hi again. Just wandering back to finish the grid (I hope)..22 words left to find

10:04 pm

10:04 pm

howdy jess

10:04 pm

how's everyone?

10:04 pm

Hi, jes and Nef

10:04 pm

Who are you talking about, Min?

10:04 pm

10:04 pm

Hio Min, ((mrp))), Jellen. jes and crossy

10:05 pm

((((nef))))

10:05 pm

Ok,found her profile,but nothing in it about marriage

10:05 pm

howdy nef

10:05 pm

no solids, cross?

10:05 pm

Hello Nef!How are you doing? Welcome back to the log

10:05 pm

i am sitting, watching 'killer women' (getting ideas) and listening to the cat snore.

10:05 pm

nope

10:06 pm

on ya crossy!

10:06 pm

Nef,I was looking for EvaNadine's profile to see if she is married. Tomorrow's icon theme is her wedding day

10:06 pm

Nef, I have a story of clues in my profile if you need it

10:07 pm

Oh, EvaNadine is definitely married...

10:07 pm

i have learned two things about the ladies after 18 years of wedded bliss mrp..number 1 is the only thing i know about my lady is that it has something todowith chocolate and # 2 no man anywhere can beat a woman when it comestorevenge

10:08 pm

hi, jesdraggon and nef!

10:08 pm

my space bar is having issues

10:08 pm

and min, most browsers have a search option built in

10:08 pm

She's either just celebrated or will be celebrating her 1st anniversary soon

10:08 pm

indeed crossy! revenge is something that comes very naturally, and chocolate should be hunted for and presented as pennance

10:09 pm

so if you go to the rankings page you should be able to search it

10:09 pm

I said earlier on today if ho 8/50 is a word, the same should be true for the mo 5/12 word. I tried it and it did not work.

10:09 pm

Hi sue! Did you finish your readings?

10:09 pm

bbs, need to organise the lunch schedule for the hungry little ones

10:10 pm

and a bit on that word,arthur hailey did a great book on that in the early 70,s called hotel

10:10 pm

I don't see one uusue2. Let me know if you see option

10:10 pm

and that is pb forme

10:11 pm

min go to the page and hit control f, that should bring up a search window if it's available...

10:12 pm

thanks crossy, 2 words from that :)

10:12 pm

hi nef, I still have two more to read but they are masters theses and much shorter than the PhD dissertations

10:12 pm

Oh my gosh! I NEVER knew about that uusue2!Thanks

10:13 pm

yw, min, I think most browsers will do that

10:13 pm

So many times I have tried to look for someone in the rankings & it took forever to find them!If only I knew

10:14 pm

Oops! Thanks amelu0218 for that helpful information.

10:15 pm

i love those 60,s and early 70,s books as the male lead spends the entire book lighting cigarettes and pouring wine for the female lead..i swear they had no time for anything else other than smoking!

10:15 pm

:o) You're very welcome!

10:15 pm

Min, are you just looking for EvaN's profile? If so, here it is: http://www.playbabble.com/profile_mini .php?id=3017 (I've listed her in my Friends list)

10:15 pm

and sudden sex in wild places hehe

10:16 pm

I remember when I first learned how to open another window using control N and I thought it was so great.

10:16 pm

but it ismy bed time and a goodbook awaits..cira 1967 hehe tc and happy babbling

10:16 pm

poink

10:17 pm

niters, crossy!

10:17 pm

I finally found it,thank you Nef.Now I know a shorter way to find EvaNadine's profile thanks to amelu0218.

10:17 pm

Goodbye crosshair! I will see you tomorrow in the log.

10:18 pm

sleep sweet crossy

10:18 pm

I've just listed a bunch of peaple in my Friends list; people who I chat with and friends (of course), and also others.

10:19 pm

Any other control key rules I do not know about that would make my laptop time easier? That is what I like about PCs. You could never do that on a Macintosh.

10:22 pm

control a, highlights all. control c copies everything highlighted. control v pastes whatever you've copied.

10:22 pm

LOL, Min! I just Did that on my Mac! It worked for me too

10:22 pm

control-p prints the page

10:23 pm

I know about control A already.That is the only other one that I know about.Usually right click to copy and paste things. Seems like the quickest way to do that.

10:23 pm

if you're editing a document, control x will cut whatever you highlight and you can move it somewhere else w/control c.

10:23 pm

control-t gives you a new tab, if you are using a tabbed browser

10:24 pm

Oh yeah, I also knew about control P also. Right click to print something also. I love the right click feature.

10:25 pm

every single one of those is working on my Mac too! (I wonder why my kids never told me this?)

10:25 pm

ho 8/50 pls

10:25 pm

Maybe it is right clicking you can't do on a Macintosh

10:25 pm

That ho 8/50 word is that ho 5/12 plus males big red.

10:26 pm

thanks Min

10:26 pm

yw

10:27 pm

I will be getting a Macintosh in the next few months.

10:27 pm

no, I can right click too with most mouses; there is 1 type of Mac mouse that you can't right click with though

10:28 pm

YAY, Min! So glad to hear that (but if you use Babble Expert, you will miss that. :-(

10:28 pm

Yes, that is the one my mom has. I use her computer when I go home and I hate it,but I will be getting one myself in the ne 4/4 future so I better get used to it.

10:29 pm

I don't use Babble Expert. When I had it I never used it.Do not see the point in getting Babble Expert again

10:30 pm

You can use any mouse you want with a Mac. You dont' have to use the one-piece one. There are also Mac mouses that look like they are the one peice ones but the have tiny buttons on the side you don't see

10:30 pm

I will be getting my Grandma's computer so whatever she has is what I will be getting. Think it's 3 years old

10:31 pm

*had

10:32 pm

if she has the one piece mouse, just go get a $10 generic one and you will do fine. I'm using a generic laptop mouse right now (2 1/2 year old grandson didn't get the concept of "touch, not hit"; -- it broke

10:33 pm

LOL Nef!

10:37 pm

"actually, it was quite old and kind of touchy anyway; I'm sort of glad it's gone now since I have one that works." was not found in the dictionary

10:37 pm

sorry, typed that in the wrong box here

10:42 pm

would that be a reverse pb error?

10:43 pm

hmmm, I don't know what it would be considered, I do it a lot some times

10:44 pm

I can definitely relate to that, LOL!

10:45 pm

no one else ever admits to it when I'm around; glad to know I'm not the only one who does that! :-)

10:46 pm

no way!

10:46 pm

the dictionary doesn't like it when you copy and paste the entire word list in that little box, either!

10:47 pm

Has anyone ever admitted to babbling while in a very gaseous state. Well here is first, that is me right now

10:47 pm

LOL! I've never tried that before!

10:48 pm

yo forgot your Beano, Min?

10:48 pm

brb

10:48 pm

LOL! Watch out for fireworks min!

10:49 pm

ok, finished this grid for the first time in a while - see you all tomorrow!!

10:50 pm

*wonders if Nef is slinking to bathroom to let out gas*

10:50 pm

Congratulations uusue2 on fireworks! Hooray for you

10:50 pm

Goodbye uusue2! I will see you tomorrow in the chog.

10:54 pm

and poppers for me as well.

10:55 pm

Congratulations amelu0218 on fireworks! Good for U!

10:55 pm

10:56 pm

y'all have an outstanding remainder, stay rested and perty dreams for those who actually sleep! (tks Min, it's been fun!)

10:57 pm

which one of you got me watching live baseball???

10:57 pm

LOL! I guess my timing was off; I had to go turn off the teapot before it woke up DH; then brewed a cup of tea with honey and lemon in it (for my sore throat)

10:58 pm

YAY, Min and amelu!! WTG!!!

10:58 pm

YAY, sue!! WTG!!!

10:59 pm

oh nef... sick girl is not nice. hope you get better soon on ya min, ame and sue !!

10:59 pm

we 5/20 pls

10:59 pm

it wasn't me, mrp; but are you enjoying it?

10:59 pm

Thanks Nef,but I got my fireworks @ 5:47 babble time

11:00 pm

The we 5/20 word is we plus I have a **l laptop big red

11:00 pm

i am nef! didn't think I ever would watch it, but several babblers talking about it on here so thought I would watch it... the crowds are amazing! It is obviously extremely popular

11:00 pm

not sick anymore, mrp; just a sore throat left now

11:01 pm

thanks min. fireworks for me.

11:02 pm

is a draining thing darling

11:02 pm

on ya red!

11:02 pm

Congratulations big red on your fireworks!Way to go

11:02 pm

glad you like it! It's even more fun IRL; but the major league games are getting really expensive

11:02 pm

YAY, big red!!! WTG!!!

11:02 pm

thanks you.

11:02 pm

i mean, i don't understand the talk, 'bottom of the ninth' etc... but i do get strikes and no ball

11:03 pm

have been watching Texas play very well, in my opinion anyway :) for the little I know of the game

11:04 pm

and names like 'Reggie Jackson' are just synonymous with baseball to me! LOL

11:04 pm

0 innings, divided into which team is up (top= first part of the inning; is the visiting team up to bat; bottom is the home team up to bat

11:05 pm

ah! thanks for that.... and how many innings do they get??

11:05 pm

sorry, that was 9 innings per game (unless tied)

11:06 pm

ok, making more sense :)) luv ya nef. getting an education on a popular sport ... looks very popular!!

11:06 pm

if there is a tie at the end of 9 innings; they keep playing until they aren't tied at the end of tan inning (the bottom

11:08 pm

well, i am impressed with the gut on some of these players!

11:09 pm

fitness is not required, but hitting and pitching is the aim of the game

11:09 pm

and if the ball is caught on the full, is the person who bat it out??

11:10 pm

if the ball doesn't touch the ground and is caught; the batter is out

11:10 pm

i see the diamond shape on the screen, showing there are players on bases... the aim is to get those players out so they don't get around the diamond to home?

11:11 pm

thanks nef. that makes sense... and it doesn't affect any other player on bases?

11:11 pm

If you think those players have guts, Google Mickey Mantle and check out his later years!

11:12 pm

they all are very stocky guys... with their bellies hanging over their belts.

11:12 pm

and rather large arses :)) but then again, I prefer football (soccer players) as they are fit looking

11:12 pm

they can't advance if the ball is caught like that. The object of baseball is to hit the ball and go around all 3 bases to home

11:12 pm

Can't stand Rugby players... they look like meatheads!

11:13 pm

so they can't sneak a base on a ball caught on the full

11:14 pm

and st louise won the game btw...

11:14 pm

LOL! We used to go to lots of Twins games here in MN back in the 80's and 90's and watched Kirby Pucket play. He was very stocky; but although he looked out of shape when you saw him on TV and from far away; he was pretty solid

11:15 pm

now I get to watch the Wolvies v Swansea game of soccer :)) am extending my sporting 'stuff'.

11:15 pm

yes, solid indeed!

11:15 pm

They can steal a base AFTER the strike if the pitcher is slow

11:15 pm

i don't know if you watch soccer nef, but they are gorgeous fit!

11:16 pm

just don't look at their faces ;o

11:16 pm

(solid as in muscular) My sister taught my dtr. to check out the players butts and legs with the binoculars at those games!

11:16 pm

since Beckham came on board, everyone else is ugly as sin in soccer LOL!

11:17 pm

soccer players are not muscular, just very defined and lithe... I like that in a man!

11:18 pm

omg... they called the field Moulinuex and the commentator just pronounced it molly-new.

11:19 pm

Why is that anyway? I was up at the National Sports Center today for a bit of hockey; they have the amateur soccer games there every summer (international)

11:20 pm

what should it be?

11:20 pm

well, it should have a french accent! LOL!!

11:21 pm

mol-le-nue!!!!

11:21 pm

LOL! I would call it molly new myself (I can't pronounce many foreign words right

11:25 pm

growing up in Northern MN in the middle of America I wasn't exposed to any different languages and I read a lot of books, but reading doesn't have pronunciations. Now I still can't pronounce words right!

11:26 pm

(I have 12 words left to find, I'm going to concentrate on finishing now)

11:26 pm

wow... we had to learn 4 languages

11:26 pm

Go, Nef!

11:26 pm

hi jellen (((hugs))) how you going darling?

11:27 pm

my small school didn't offer any foreign languages back then

11:27 pm

I all right, thanks...

11:27 pm

I am all right, that is!

11:27 pm

perfect jellen... alright is good

11:27 pm

I'm struggling with English tonight!

11:28 pm

i struggle to remember my children's names at times... go through the list of animals before I pick out the right name when calling for my son or daughter at times LOL!

11:28 pm

but I understood that, Jellen!

11:29 pm

It is good to have to learn different languages, but it is also very interesting to find out that English is the most difficult language on the planet!

11:30 pm

ho8 is a real word? bah!

11:30 pm

indeed jes! confirms my comment about English! ha!

11:31 pm

my gramma pretty consistently calls me my aunt's name

11:31 pm

my favourite language to learn was the Slavic language, as you can say 'i am going to the shops to buy eggs' six different ways. English has got so so many grammar complications, it is difficult for many.

11:32 pm

i call my brother Luke, and that is my son's name... he is actually Robert, but do you think I can say that when he is around?? weird

11:35 pm

and of course, my brother takes it bad, my son takes it bad... Luke thinks Robert is a bad influence, Robert thinks Luke is a little sh**, and the merry-go-round keeps turning. Then I get the whole 'Freudian Slip' crap from my brother that I treat him like a child... I just give up. I make mistakes... sorry, and move on.

11:35 pm

my kids swear that they thought their names were the same; I would call them both "Bobann" since I never got them straigfht when I was tired

11:35 pm

anyway, that is for another time... clues people... clues for those in need!!

11:36 pm

call them both "boy"

11:36 pm

haha nef! my friend calls her kids Jonoah... One is Josh, the other Noah... when she is tired, that is what they get too

11:37 pm

indeed jes... better than what some people call their kids! I am stunned into silence and despair when children get called nasty names... would rather mistake them for the cat

11:39 pm

bruce's son (also bruce) is generally just called "kid". when I met him (he was 11) I asked if he'd rather be called something else, and he said no, "kid" is fine.

11:39 pm

the first ho 4/8 has me stuck

11:39 pm

ha4/8 is what a gansta calls his pal

11:40 pm

no, it's the ho (before the ho8 that I can't find

11:41 pm

there isn't an ho before that

11:41 pm

sorry, i mistyped. clue was for the ho, not an ha

11:41 pm

NM, I finally got it (WITH your help, jes! Thanks

11:42 pm

2 left

11:44 pm

Finished! If I could only spell and type correctly, it wouldn't have taken so long!

11:45 pm

11:45 pm

Hooray for Nef!

11:46 pm

11:46 pm

11:46 pm

11:50 pm

I think she's watching a soccer game; she was watching baseball a bit earlier

11:51 pm

I did scroll back a bit and saw that -- Cards won, right?

11:52 pm

Yes, the Cards won decisively.

11:53 pm

I'm NL inclined, having been an ardent Expos fan back when they were alive and we were in the Montreal area.

11:53 pm
