1:56 am

wow, does she enjoy moving?

unreal... she certainly has more energy than I

1:56 am

cos is enjoying the weather now...winter-summer-winter-summer-wint er

1:57 am

she has an addiction to buying houses. but this time shes not selling her current house. shes renting it out instead. must be nice to be a high level executive at wells fargo lol

I haven't cancelled this one yet. The other is supposed to start next Friday. I thot if the other doesn't get connected I could use wireless at Starbucks.

1:57 am

well, how about June/July? will not be quite so active then.will need some sup[port. ( you know everything sags after 60, right?)

1:58 am

brb

1:58 am

july is perfect lol

1:58 am

you were wondering about old emails...you could forward them from old to new if you want to keep them and you have an overlap

1:58 am

dee u can pretty much find free wireless anywhere you go :) im using my neighbor's wifi.. she gave me permission

not a bad idea for the stragglers... I only have 5 more folders to go through, but that is a great idea

most of our neighbors here are password protected... I would think it would be same in the new neighborhood... not sure though

I could also deluge my hubby's at work, but he might strangle me if I do that LOL

2:00 am

and you have to watch what you do on the public ones...coffeeshops, airports etc....probably dont want to use passwords, do banking etc

I don't do any banking online.

2:02 am

2:02 am

my neighbor used my wifi for 2 years then she ofered to get wifi so i can cancel mine and use hers..

nice, cos

2:03 am

sorry hiccup

Interesting tidbit... the new provider is only a couple of dollars more than this one and the internet is faster and we should get more TV channels...

2:04 am

28 to go.. will find 3 more then call it a night and go to WW

2:04 am

i use dish. its 100.00 cheaper than comcast. love it.

2:04 am

we get twice as much channels for the same price with dish

2:05 am

and we get two free dvr boxes with dish

For some reason this neighborhood never did well with dishes (don't know if it is because we were close to airport)

2:06 am

i heard bad things about dish but we decided to try it out. maybe its because of our elevation we've never had problems.. it went out 3 times in 2 years and it came right back on within 5 mins

2:07 am

the only con with dish is there is no on demand :(

2:08 am

25 left. saving them for tomorrow. onto WWF. night all

We have never had on demand; have always just watched Netflix dvd's or streaming.

wow, I just found the tr7/32! what a surprise

4:10 am

how is Ruffino? did I spell his name correctly?

4:10 am

I am afraid of boring everybody with my endless "dog stories", but he is wonderful: handsome, affectionate, athletic and housebroken

4:11 am

the only one who doesn't like him is Ruby and I spend my time trying to give my old lady dog some space

4:11 am

Hello Kazze!

7:51 am

7:51 am

I have many Q's...qu 5/16

there are lots of qs

7:51 am

Oh Kazz! You can't be serious!?!?!? How horrible!

7:51 am

Good morning Kaplan!

7:52 am

hi kazz and kap

7:52 am

I managed to get to the docs today and have yet another course of antibiotics

ah, good morning.

if it makes you feel better kazz i thought you said you have bleeding tonsilitis. at least it's not that bad!

7:52 am

i put a list in my profile for those who may want it.

7:52 am

they look like golf balls

7:53 am

hi good, dawg

Oh kazz! I am so sorry.

7:53 am

This has been quite a long haul for you.

7:53 am

poor kaz. hi kap, GE, welki, et. al. bbl, time to send hubz off to the salt mines.

7:54 am

I am getting really fed up with it - I was quite poorly in work the last couple of days but could nt afford to take time off

7:54 am

Will they be removing your tonsils then?

7:56 am

no - just been told to take some really strong painkillers so I can actually drink something

7:57 am

How long has it been since you were able to take in fluids? Perhaps an IV would be beneficial to get your strength back up.

7:58 am

no doc think I will get over it - its just irritating being not able to swallow comfortably - but hopefully the painkillers are working and I will have a nice big glass of water

7:59 am

I will be sending good healing prayers and thoughts your way Kazz. {[hugs}}

8:00 am

Eesh. Always so pleasant, isn't peri?

My cat does that.

8:28 am

*isn't it"

awwww peri sorry about that. She could well have eaten too fast or a bit too much

Bukimic cats?

bulimic.

8:29 am

and now she is hungry so just gave her a little dry food. she tends to eat the canned stuff too fast at times

8:29 am

8:33 am

ty

ty City

np... I seem to be stuck at 12 Q's now

8:36 am

morning all!

8:36 am

hi sue

morning Sue

When we give q clues we should give the letter after the u because the u is implicit. Such as qui5.

8:37 am

hi peri and nono!

8:37 am

and kap!

Hi. All those in favor, say aye.

8:37 am

Aye!

8:38 am

morning

8:38 am

aye!

after que7/40 (one who asks), there's another que7/40 that would seem to mean the same thing, using a different last two letters.

Those opposed?

sorry, implemented the change before it had been voted in ;)

8:39 am

hello...is there a list today?

Passed! All qu words will now be clued with the letter after the u included.

found a qua6 and 7 combo and old fashioned form of a question

list in my profile phaeton

8:40 am

ty

Law is enacted.

ty nono, nice words!

still can't find them.

so much for the rule of law.

8:43 am

Me neither.

is the rch group really not good for anything today?

8:44 am

Morning friends

qu + common babble word with different last vowel

qu and what is the next letter please. See rule of law below.

morning bob

I couldn't figure out a clue if I used all qua at once, kap...

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I need to come back later with a fresh pair of eyes.

I wonder where I left my spare eyes?

8:46 am

to need something is to req---- it. aTake off the re, then pluralize, then make past tense

try ... qua + er4/4 (reverse last two letters)

I that's the one, City 17!

oh those are the question ones i clued earlier

I know, nono, Kap hadn't found them yet...

i thought you were clueing something new and was trying to find them LOL

bbl.

oops, sorry for the goose chase

hi crossy, trif

10:17 am

10:17 am

the aussies can keep that

10:17 am

oh my 137! now that is warm

10:17 am

rain would be most welcome. wth the lack of snow this weekend,we are WAY down on precip

10:18 am

we are in the same boat trif,our "winter" was a pitiful thing that ended a month and a half early and our water tables are down 4 feet over all

10:18 am

true Trif, they say conditions for brush fires are at an all time high this spring due to lack of snow cover

10:19 am

when I was dropping primo off at college last weekend after break, the fens of Boston were on fire, and it was pretty scary. When a fen can catch fire, you know things are off

10:19 am

now,saying that,we have tons of water compared to other locales

10:20 am

we're in red flag warnings for the eastern side of the state already.

10:20 am

water supplies here are good too, Crossy. One local community has agreed to sell millions of gals a day to a drilling company for their operations

10:27 am

10:27 am

I can understand that Trif

10:28 am

That looks like a total dog of a movie to me.

10:29 am

TRUST me, it is.

10:29 am

I'm wondering WHY Pacino agreed to be in a movie with Adam Sandler and Katie Holmes. Are times that tough?

10:30 am

johnny depp is in it too! what, did they owe someone favors?

10:30 am

where do I go to get my 90 minutes back?

10:30 am

10:34 am

10:35 am

wb sue hope the taxes went better than mine did

10:35 am

The Gene Wilder version is near and dear to my heart.

10:35 am

10:35 am

to all our hearts

10:36 am

10:36 am

10:37 am

now have to wait and refile a corrected state return

10:38 am

always use to do it myself sue, until hubby passed away, now have all those 1099 forms for mutuals etc and I get totally confused as to what goes where

10:38 am

god bless H+R block!

10:38 am

Oh my God, Clooney and his Dad have been arrested in DC for protesting at the Sudanese Embassy. Should I go bail them out?

10:38 am

I re 7/40 a clue for the other re 8, please

10:38 am

Haz will already be there Molly

10:38 am

they can probably bail themselves out, molly :-)

10:38 am

and good for them!

10:38 am

YES! Molly I'll go with you and help

10:39 am

Oh but this just happened, and I am much closer than Haz (insert evil laugh)

10:39 am

re8/40 ends with double vowel

10:39 am

betwwen the two of them,they could buy a small town,i would not worry overmuch ladies

10:39 am

re + spanish aunt + cons + double vowel

10:39 am

don't you think she was at the protest?

10:40 am

No Flosey, you are getting Haz confused with Scrabs. Scrabs is the stalker.

10:40 am

ty nono - glad I asked for a clue as I would never have found that on my own!

10:40 am

oh no, Haz usually has him in a closet under the stairs, Molly she'd know his whereabouts

10:42 am

Oh dear, I had no idea it was a prisoner/slave mistress type relationship.

10:42 am

yw nan, someone clued it that way earlier

10:42 am

oh my yes, she watches him with an evil eye

10:42 am

just went to look up the def and av program closed explorer due to "malicious software" - anyone else having this problem? Skype won't work today either (solar flares, maybe)

10:43 am

10:43 am

Can't help you with Internet Explorer Nan, haven't used that browser in years.

10:43 am

no probs here nan

10:43 am

clue for the we8 pls...an g'day to all

10:44 am

okay, not hitting half way, but feeling babble guilt...should get stuff done....

10:44 am

it's a plural, here's the definition for the singular: a gladiator equipped with a net for casting over his opponent.

10:44 am

and no problems here either, nan, skype seems ok too

10:44 am

that was the weird re8, by the way...

10:44 am

explorere has the distinction of the browser that loads more browsers than any other browser:))))

10:45 am

11:15 am

i'm kind of okay with that..

11:16 am

I know jilli loved it.. but I prefer to see peoples creativeness on their own

11:16 am

Me too Ru

11:16 am

I could see doing it once a month maybe, but every day was more work than people wanted to fool with.

11:20 am

it is now time,yes it is!!,for the staggeringly popular,much requested,crossys tidbit of the day!!!!

11:20 am

The musical Cats was based on a book of poems by T.S. Eliot titled Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats.

11:28 am

hi again

11:36 am

I think that one might be pretty well known around these parts. This is a room full of cat lovers.

11:36 am

And book lovers.

11:37 am

Indeed, Molly.

11:40 am

<-- q.e.d.

11:41 am

hi all

11:44 am

Erda goes all Latin on us. : ) Hi JMC

11:45 am

i never took latin so have been scratching my head

11:45 am

too lazy to google

11:47 am

QED stands for "quod erat demonstrandum" which means "as was to be expected."

11:47 am

... quod erat demenstandum ... (ending is wrong) ... that which was sought has been shown

11:47 am

11:48 am

11:48 am

ah i slept through geometry

11:49 am

stats for the fourth column C please

11:49 am

ce 5/12

11:49 am

i do not mind when people use Q.E.D, what drives me mental is the term "at the end of the day" just buzz words that generally come from people who are about to squash you financially

11:49 am

ty amelu and wb -- i haven't seen you in a while

11:50 am

... how do you learn to build a logical argument without Euclid? ... you lawyers

11:50 am

you can be logical without euclid--he wasn't the only person in history to use reason

11:51 am

just manipulation of the language,dueling with words

11:51 am

reminds me of my son's elementary school science teacher who basically said that any time you use reason you were doing science

11:51 am

... butthe Elements is still the best example of the logical development of an argument

11:51 am

yw! :o) Life's been keeping me busy lately, jmc, but in a good way...

11:52 am

do tell amelu!

11:52 am

... let us shoot all elementary school science teachers

11:52 am

she was okay i just thought she was overstating her case

11:53 am

the kids are actually approaching "getting their lives in order" and the grandkids have been filling in the rest of the time, LOL!

11:53 am

grandkids can be a good way to spend time

11:53 am

I just got a virus/trojan horse alert when I signed on to Babanon. Anyone else had problems?

11:54 am

lost in the m's following the muddy ones -- any help there?

11:54 am

between the 4, they keep us all busy, no doubt.

11:54 am

it did that for while for lickety but it turned out to be a false alarm. try cleaning it first and see

11:54 am

foggish and gentleman

11:55 am

sorry, nan, foggish and gentleman are the ones I have after that... oh, and tightwad.

11:55 am

change the middle letter from the mud

11:55 am

ty for the foggish one - had the gentleman

11:56 am

I hope its a false alarm but my antivirus had a specific name/identity for the whatever it was. I've had weird stuff happen there before tho never a virus.

11:56 am

... nan ... did you get the mi4/5 which follows the mud ... just change the final vowel and then there are a few builders

11:56 am

there is a 6-7 before that, though, that I haven't found

11:56 am

and then a cheap guy too

11:56 am

scrooge even

11:56 am

... builders off the mi4/5 ... comparative and superlative

11:58 am

oh - 2 more muddy ones! - ty

11:58 am

Question for anybody. Has lickety stopped Babble Expert?

11:59 am

His wife has

12:00 pm

lickety is temporarily out of the picture so no lists--sometimes mr p has sub for him--i don't understand how babble expert interacts

12:00 pm

She did it for a while, then went away

12:00 pm

From what I have read, Lickety is no longer involved in Expert or the list. His wife has taken that over and she is off the hook for an undetermined length of time.

12:00 pm

she dropped by saying she was not going to be around her computer for a while but would come back eventually

12:01 pm

"eventually" -- that's ever so reassuring...

12:01 pm

we shall have to use our own grey matter:)

12:02 pm

Is there ary equivalent to lickety?

12:02 pm

you know they were doing it from a generous place. . . any way jacula and others usually have lists

12:02 pm

Such is the problem when only one person generates a program. If they are unavailable, no program.

12:02 pm

usually volleymomdee

12:03 pm

negativeneil frequently

12:03 pm

those are the places i would look for a list

12:03 pm

Speaking of negativeneil -- where is he??

12:03 pm

hello all - waaaay back brandyjack used to generate a list to babanon - but stopped when lickety really got going

12:04 pm

Dee's list here: http://tinyurl.com/lx5lon

12:05 pm

There was an um...altercation...about whose list should be used. Haven't seen Neil around since then.

12:05 pm

Hootowl's list is very good; not all in one fell swoop...

12:06 pm

Yes, Hoot and several others copy lists into their profiles and add the spaces.

12:07 pm

Molly, nice use of tact. ;o) (altercation)

12:07 pm

missing a qu 7 -- have odder, the questioner and the questions - missing?

12:08 pm

there is a second question one

12:09 pm

besides the questioner and the questions?

12:09 pm

no,i have the odd one,and the 2 involving questions

12:09 pm

there is another that either precedes or follows the 2 question ones

12:09 pm

ahh 3 involving quiestions

12:36 pm

got it - thank you. This grid seems extra twisty today. :)

12:38 pm

allrighty, american babblers, i need advice/suggestions! thanks to our wonderfully early start of spring, my allergies are ALREADY kicking up. in the past i have used claratin, zyrtec, and allegra, but none of them have REALLY worked. any recommendations??

12:40 pm

you need to get a NetiPot. it's a nasal rinse.

12:40 pm

... burn every plant within a thousand miles ... or buy lots of kleenex ... that's my plan ...

12:40 pm

lol

12:41 pm

are u near a cvs store?

12:41 pm

Netti pot is wonderful...Netti and mucinex works for me

12:41 pm

WalMart has both

12:41 pm

ivesy, yes

12:41 pm

Eva: During WW II in Europe, all allergies stopped. Why? Because peoples' minds were occupied with more important things, such as: "Will I be dead tomorrow?" So, now we know where the trigger is. I keep saying to myself that I have NO allergies and it works!

12:41 pm

hrm. not sure if ive tried mucinex. might hafta pick some up.

12:42 pm

I still take some meds for allergies but the sinus rinse has greatly reduced my headaches.

12:42 pm

mind is a powerful thing Erda

12:42 pm

erda, if only. unfortunately, my alternatingly stuffy/running nose, constant sneezing, dry eyes, and sore throat all tell me otherwise.

12:42 pm

Oh yes, that it is!!!

12:43 pm

Well, Eva, you gave up before even trying!

12:43 pm

i got there brand of allergy relief.. take one tab a day stopped all symptoms....

12:43 pm

I use the netti pot as soon as I start to feel the throbbing begin and pop 1200 mg of mucinex..repeat as needed

12:44 pm

oh, i tried allright. for years i told myself i didnt have them, and for years, i just felt miserable! now ive just come to terms with it + want to medicate so i can enjoy the lovely outdoors. :)

12:44 pm

oh crapppola lunch over back to work ta ta

12:44 pm

Try something harmless, such as camomile tea

12:44 pm

se 7/32 ?

12:44 pm

never tried a netti pot, though i have heard lots of praise for them. i know it will clear out my sinuses, but will it help with my other symptoms too?

12:45 pm

it couldn't hurt to try!!

12:46 pm

I don't think it will help the runny nose as the netti pot promotes draining, but it can't hurt to try I guess

12:46 pm

I think it means 'in ranks' se +two const. +myself + Mr.. the talking horse I am rubbish at cluing!!

12:47 pm

the runny nose might lessen if you get rid of the pollen in your sinuses every night

12:47 pm

thats true suz

12:47 pm

I found that camomile tea works in many cases, even when it makes absolutely no sense...

12:48 pm

great clue deeha... thanks

12:48 pm

does it FEEL weird? i have issues with water near my face...heh

12:48 pm

it's worth a try! I thought my doc was crazy wanting me to do it. now I swear by it!

12:49 pm

follow the directions and you should have no problem...remember to keep your mouth open

12:49 pm

at first but then you get used to it. I thought it was so gross in the beginning. but the relief is worth it

12:50 pm

true, true, sea!

12:50 pm

I wouldn't try it for years and a little old lady kept suggesting it to me as her daughter has multiple health issues...now I swear by it

12:52 pm

I feel it wards off sinus infections and that is well worth it to me

12:52 pm

im minorly terrified of it, but i might give it t try. id much prefer to not have to take pills...

12:53 pm

I think it does sea. I haven't had a sinus infection in 2 years that I've been using it

12:53 pm

I am not a big fan of pills either Eva, but the mucinex makes me start draining within a half hour and feel soooo much better

1:04 pm

*!* ta da *!*

1:04 pm

any clue wanted before I leave?

1:05 pm

1:31 pm

Eva if you are still here, have to tell you, son in law just called me...sounds horrible and is on his way to buy a netti pot

1:31 pm

♣ And may all your shenanigans be blessed ♣

does everyone here have my cold? Sorry I infected you. Must have sneezed on my keyboard.

1:32 pm

Gesundheit!

1:32 pm

everyone is suffering from allergies and sinus problems here kap

Oh. I have a chest cold.

I forgot to get the Vick's Vapo-rub to smear on my feet.

You're supposed to smear it on your feet and then put your socks on and it helps your cough.

1:35 pm

I thought you were supposed to put it on your chest

You would think so, hah?

Apparently coughs originate in cold feet.

Hey Sea Spray...Lisa Rinna????????????

1:40 pm

neti pots for everyone!

1:40 pm

you get a netipot -- and YOU get a netipot!

1:40 pm

and YOU GET A NETI POT!

I've never used one of those.

1:42 pm

i havent either, kaplan. but i think i may be picking one up tonight

I remember with newborns they recommended a saline solution- so it must be the same thing.

"They" being the authorities we all know about- this time the medical authorities.

1:46 pm

I have the chest cold too Kap. My son and I have had it for a week now. And hell yeah to Vicks on the feet.

Does it get worse?

I can't tell if it's just the opening act of a full flu performance.

1:47 pm

It's stayed about the same. The cool mist at night really helps a lot.

Did you get really spacy and dissociated- I mean more than usual?

1:49 pm

sorry had a phone call...Kap I am not a fan of Lisa Rinna and DOL's is getting crappy....I am lucky if I watch it one or 2 days a week

I was falling asleep earlier and I felt like I really understood the differences in consciousness from my soul to my waking self

It was weird.

I HATE Lisa Rinna, and feel like they're going back to the 80's. Renaming it "Days of Our Lips."

1:51 pm

LOL Well I didn't want to be quite so blunt in case you loved her, but yeah can't stand her lol @ lips

1:51 pm

<---Also CAN'T STAND Lisa Rinna

1:51 pm

Well who does like her then? besides her husband

So there's the self that you are in the world, and that other people know and relate to, then there is your inner narrative that may not be fully revealed to others, then there is your Self that exists beyond you that is the same self you were as an infant

The thing is, I really felt those things. No one likes Lisa Rinna.

From the spiritual to the mundane in one easy trip...

Like Sand through an Hourglass,

so our the Days of our Lips...

1:53 pm

I am gonna think of that everytime I hear that now lol

1:53 pm

sammysmom, did you get the ar6? it's more of a talent for painting and such (???)

1:54 pm

Who would want lips like that?

The better to kiss you, my dear.

1:54 pm

ewww

I guess they lips serve to distract from the complete lack of talent.

1:55 pm

I really disliked her on DWTS

So anyway, as I was falling asleep, I felt like I really understood the mind-body problem...

and that's how I knew I was ill.

I was waiting for the punchline. Thanks, Kaplan. :)

1:56 pm

In between sleep and awake is a cool state of consciousness

1:56 pm

are you feeling better now?

All of the great philosphical breakthroughs were made by people with chestcolds.

Lightheaded. Teenage daughter not talking to us. Falling apart over SAT's and perception of parental indifference

1:58 pm

oh no and a cold to boot?

There was a French writer, I think it wass, who kept trying to devise a system rouse himself from that before-sleep state so he could write down what was in his mind

I don't think it worked.

So, back to the soaps.

2:00 pm

do you watch more than one kap?

2:00 pm

hiccup...oops excuse me!

Only Days.

2:01 pm

me too

2:01 pm

((((MPitt))) How are you?

2:02 pm

Hi Molly....pretty good...husband's lung cancer has appeared again started second chemo of Topotecan for another 6 months

How awful...

2:03 pm

Continued blessings to you both MPitt. I know you are fighting the good fight.

2:05 pm

MPitt a friend of mine has stage 4 melona, went to his lungs, chemo did not help him at all, he opted for a new procedure . Not totally sure how it works, but he was an out patient and they went in and froze or zapped the tumors, a month later one was completely gone and the other is scar tissue

2:05 pm

yes and we will never lose hope first he only had 2-4 months and that was in May 2011...still 5-6% make it two years and 1% make it 5 years...new discoveries happen every day maybe tomorrow will be for him!

I hope your family has a lot of good support around you

2:06 pm

There have been many new exciting advances with melanoma some amazing strides have been made with that type

2:06 pm

he is very happy but they must keep a close watch on him as he said melaona travels so quickly

2:08 pm

MPitt, your positive attitude is the best thing you have going for you. Keep the faith.

2:08 pm

Strength and prayers to you and your husband MPitt

2:10 pm

his is small cell lung extensive with mets to his liver...also had low sodium and a male over 60 so everything possible against him but he is a fighter and so am I and we will never give up. Every day is a miracle if you only open your heart and eyes to it...the world is a picture frame and you get to pick what picture you want to put in your frame!

2:12 pm

Hugs to all my fellow babblers...so nice we always have each other to make our various journeys together and comfort one another...Love all around!

2:13 pm

(((MPittore))) Prayers and loving thoughts to you and your husband

2:13 pm

And right back to you, MPitt.

2:14 pm

I just got here. Was at the dentist.

2:14 pm

hope all went well Annie

2:14 pm

Look at Annie's beautiful choppers!!!!

2:14 pm

Yes, it did. thanks Sea.

2:15 pm

Am going to the accountant tonight to have tax return prepared...would rather go to the dentist! lol

2:15 pm

LOL Sea!

2:15 pm

They are both painful experiences.

2:16 pm

I get a double dose of that. I was there yesterday to have my boss's return prepared, much more complicated than mine...but not as painful to me!

2:19 pm

Name that proper noun...Greek tragic heroine, wife of Jason

2:19 pm

I practically do ours myself and something must be wrong with me because I think it's fun....but then I take it to the CPA and he plugs all my numbers in his 'puter and charges me big $'s and I pay him and feel so happy! Must be my twisted sense of doing the right thing! LOL

Medeia

I heard the Medea was controlled by the government

2:20 pm

ding ding ding

2:20 pm

Same here...get it all together and hand it over. I offered to bring it all in in a shoe box this year and he didn't want to hear it.

Some say Medea is too liberal, however.

2:22 pm

A Funky Cold Medea

I heard a medea is going to hit the earth and smash us to smithereens.

2:22 pm

Molly was that the name of a song???

But I can't function being paranoid about the Medea.

2:23 pm

Kap was it a small medea or large?

HA HA

It was Multimedea.

Will we argonauts?

I'm goig a bit nuts, but must we argonauts?

2:24 pm

I eat my steak medea rare..

This is one way to deal with pain.

Medea at the corner?

2:25 pm

Laughter is the best medea

Sometimes it truly is.

Who invented comedy?

Oh- the comMEDEAns.

2:26 pm

...oops got a little medea at the corner of his mouth...

This is only the beginning.

2:27 pm

KAP...ROFL *<:o)

Glad this helps.

Humor is a high level defense mechanism.

2:28 pm

Yep...slapstick can fix what ails ya'

I wonder who the first standup comedian was?

2:29 pm

I think I'm diverting the issue that I only have 28 words so I flew off into silliness

None is mentioned in the Bible.

2:30 pm

oooh Kap...deep thoughts....perhaps it was the serpent?

The serpent was Don Rickles?

2:30 pm

ha, ha, ha....

I think I need another nap.

2:31 pm

My dad was the first stnadup comedian in my life!

2:31 pm

nap sounds good....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

"Dad humor" is in a class of it's own. BBL

its. NO APOSTROPHE! SORRY!

2:35 pm

yes...my kids can verify that one....we used to have a big ole' station wagon ya know the ones with the wooden sides and they must have been a mile long...well he had control of the windows and he used to well....pass g** and then turn off the windows so no one could roll them down and all of the sudden the boys would start yelling eeewww dad di you toot and my husband would get this big grin on his face...yes "dad humor" is special....

good gravy!

Lots of strong thoughts for your husband. I must away!

2:43 pm

yes isn't that awful

2:48 pm

Hello all! Gave up alcohol for Lent so Babbling is my drug of choice...LOL...*diving into grid*

Nobody could give up Babble for Lent... could they?

5:40 pm

not if they are here to answer that

5:40 pm

NEVER!! Of course, the past few weeks I have wondered if I was nuts to give up alcohol!!

Haha. Saying... nothing. ;)

And good poing, kje. :P lol

Uhhh... point, even!

5:42 pm

unusual to see you in daylight, NN... how goes it

Oh it's not really... I'm often around and online in the daytime for a little, just doing other stuff. And... it goes, anyway. As long as it's still going huh?

How goes it wherever you are, kje?

5:43 pm

true... the alternative ain't so hot

Yep. Exactly.

5:44 pm

It may be hot if you are sent down below and hi there kje!

Hello to my fellow babblers!How is everybody doing today?

Oh yeah? Where do you work and what to you do?

5:45 pm

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Way to go!

5:45 pm

Hi minv, kje and I think I'm meeting NN for the first time!!

I don't think so, Jillyjill? I remember seeing you here in the chog plenty of times... and unless I'm mistaken, exchanging greetings?

5:45 pm

hi JJ

5:46 pm

I work at UTSW, teach medicine

But I could be mistaken too. It happens.

Haha yeah... NN and JJ.

Wow, kje!

5:47 pm

when did we start having ads on bab anon?

5:47 pm

It might have been jillibus, but NN does seem familiar...I've been off Babble for a few months...

5:47 pm

LOL...nice NN!

Oh? Hmm... I'm sure I've seen you though?

-N, if that's easier? Haha.

5:48 pm

OK, that is beyond annoying... whoever did that needs to be shot

No easier than "NN", but easier than the full name, I mean.

5:48 pm

Well, either way, nice to be on the chog with you!

Huh, kje?

Oh, the ads? Yeah.

5:49 pm

that just started today.... who did that?

Every time I've logged in there to post stats, I get this big banner telling me "This is no joke -- you are the 10,000th visitor". EVERY time?! Yeah, ok. :P

Oh I've seen that ad banner for some time, kje. If that's the same one you're seeing?

And you too, Jillyjill. :)

5:50 pm

I haven't seen that banner, but today there is a video to the right of the clues that keeps playing

Oh man. That's even more annoying.

6:18 pm

Tapping my feet already!!

6:19 pm

Jilly, you ARE Irish, by association! I hereby decree that you may drink your head off for all of March 17th.

6:19 pm

6:22 pm

Diddley Eye Die Die...

6:23 pm

Oh, I have forgotten how lovely the chog can be...I have missed it so!

6:24 pm

The weather forecast for tomorrow is cold and rain! So goosebumps will abound tomorrow. And Jilly, its lovely to see you back.

6:25 pm

*hugs* to all, especially soodle!

6:25 pm

:-)

6:27 pm

But the day fell on a Saturday! The whole Nation will be sotted.

6:29 pm

Meanwhile, the pub shirt I ordered (and paid extra shipping for to get it here on time) went to my old work address, so no pub shirt for St. Patrick's Day. *cries in beer*

6:29 pm

Pish.... Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday... it matters not a whit! To further fuel the drink-fest, Ireland are playing England in the rugby tomorrow.....

6:29 pm

We have an irish city in Montana, Butte. Hubby from there and I lived there 3 years...they have a huge St Paddy's day celebration...and the town will be sotted as well!

6:29 pm

17 q's!! hey , afternoon everyone

6:29 pm

Aye, I forgot. It's a National Holiday in the auld sod.

6:30 pm

Same boat molly, I lost 81 pounds last year and have nothing to wear tomorrow, green eye shadow and underwear it must be!

6:30 pm

Jilly, how do you phonetically pronounce Butte?

6:30 pm

Holy crap, 81 pounds?

6:30 pm

Like cute Soodle.

6:31 pm

I have plenty of other things to wear, but this was a personalized pub shirt with my family of origin name on it. Blargh.

6:31 pm

Thanks Molly. And I echo your astonishment....81lbs????

6:31 pm

Long 'u" like beauty

6:32 pm

Congratulations on your hard word Jilly.

6:32 pm

I go over for the Gaelic Society's fesival in August, more celebration, less idiots getting sotted!

6:32 pm

Or your hard work

6:32 pm

Yep, size 20 to size 8...yay!!

6:32 pm

Jilly, you must be half the woman you used to be!

6:33 pm

LOL, yep and closet a lot emptier!

6:34 pm

<---------- Stands back in amazement. Less than half the woman. Wow, Jilly. Well done. As a size 8 you probably look FAB in underwear and green eyeshadow!

6:34 pm

Our Jilly is just a wee slice of the lass she used to be.

6:34 pm

all these slim hotties around crossy:))

6:34 pm

Crossy! ;)

6:35 pm

Hiya Cross, and happy Paddy's day to ya (begob an begorrah)

6:35 pm

howdy jilly and soodles,green beer be on tap at the pub soon

6:36 pm

Jilly, a friend of mine lost a similar amount of weight. In awe, I asked her how she did it. She calmly looked me in the eye and said,' I shut my gob and got off my arse'. Not rocket science. :-(

6:36 pm

Eat less, move more....lol

6:37 pm

Just friended you on FB soodle...

6:37 pm

Just accepted you, Jilly :-)

6:37 pm

Actually went thru a naturopath and did the HCG injections...

6:38 pm

ahh skin is in the grid;)

6:39 pm

thanks! Now you can go look through photos soodle

6:39 pm

Jilly - I have no idea what a naturopath is, or what HCG injections are.. could you elaborate, please? (thinking Soodle has found an easy way to get skinny..._

6:42 pm

Not so easy and very controversial but I was at the end of my rope! It's the pregnancy hormone (I had no hotflashes when on injections). You are on 500 calories/day during program. Very regimented. 27 day program. And a naturopath is a holistic practioner. Did a lot of research and had a buddy to do it with.

6:43 pm

I've never gotten why the injections are involved. Anyone would lose tons of weight on only 500 calories a day.

6:44 pm

Wait a minute, back up The Soul Train. You lost 81 pounds in 27 days???

6:44 pm

The studies show that, unlike without injections, you lose muscle, not fat. And I truly was not hungry...cravings, but not hunger

6:45 pm

Nope, did four 27 day sessions to get the 81 off.

6:45 pm

Wow... Just looking at the photos of the incredible shrinking Jilly. Absolutely lovely, Jill -)

6:45 pm

With 6-8 week maintenance sessions in between.

6:45 pm

Thanks Soodle...now to keep it off!

6:47 pm

My fear about those sort of weight loss programmes is that once one goes back to 'normal' eating, you pile the weight back on. Keep up the maintenance sessions, Jilly, and well done again.

6:47 pm

Okay, probably fishy but I cannot seem to find the em4/8...monkeying has not worked..clue please?

6:47 pm

i lost 30 lbs running up and down stairs at the library lol... also on byetta for diabeties, curbs your hunger

6:47 pm

I think I'm more like Soodle's friend. Eat less, exercise more. It's the age old, proven way.

6:48 pm

Hi Ivesey :-)

6:48 pm

hi soodle, hello all .

6:48 pm

em 4: the name of band that sang the song "Unbelievable" plus snake letter jillyjill.

6:49 pm

I sort have found the balance and know what I can and can't eat. When I need a munch, I have some of my homemade trail mix..sugarless dried fruit and nuts.

6:49 pm

Hi Min :-)

6:49 pm

sounds like a nice snack jilly.. nuts are good for you.

6:50 pm

Hello Soodle! How are you doing? Didn't see your entrance.

6:51 pm

Got it finally, thanks minv..

6:53 pm

6:55 pm

Hello uusue2! How are you doing? Welcome to the chat log

6:56 pm

6:57 pm

<---Wonders how one removes the sugar from fruit : O

6:58 pm

I am doing well. My students will start making their planets tomorrow for their space laboratory.Had to change it from a planetarium to a laboratory. I spent $.00 for this project

6:58 pm

Meant to say that I spent $50.00 to do this Science project.

6:58 pm

oh, nice! I see you have a planet as your icon as well - I am guessing Uranus?

6:59 pm

I think so,but now I have an icon clue as my icon.Refresh it

7:00 pm

ah, nice, and appropriate!

7:03 pm

Aha! One rather inebriated 6ft 5ins leprechaun has just come home. Two down, one to go, and all my chicks will be under the one roof again. :-)

7:03 pm

hi, soodle!

7:04 pm

lol blind drunk leprechaun chicks with green beer stains all over

7:04 pm

and hi crossy!

7:05 pm

Hi Sue. I got distracted by the phone the other night, just as you were describing horrible letters still coming. Hang in there! IT WILL GET BETTER!!

7:05 pm

oh, I sent them on to my lawyer, I am sure nothing will come of any of them.

7:06 pm

and I did my taxes this morning, will get a nice tidy sum back, but not so much that I have to tell the bankruptcy trustee about it (which means I actually get to keep it)

7:07 pm

and thanks, soodle, you are a sweetheart :-)

7:07 pm

Sue, one of my mantras (apart from Thoughts Become Things, and Onwards and Upwards) is You Can't Get Blood From A Stone. If you haven't got it, they can't take it from you.

7:07 pm

well, exactly.

7:10 pm

I'm not joking... whenever I DO shuffle off this mortal coil, I'm gonna need a mighty big tombstone to inscribe all my words of wisdom on.. LOL

7:10 pm

or very teeny print...

7:11 pm

Nah, Sue, Big and Bold. Like me!!!

7:11 pm

:-)

7:12 pm

Oh Gawd, flicking through the channels here, and have just happened across Beaches. Tissues at the ready.....

7:12 pm

Welcome to Babble...After Hours...for the Ladies!!!!

7:22 pm

WooT!!

7:22 pm

I had a nice day--played tennis for an hr, walked from friend's home to local bakery for lunch, talked for a long time and tried to solve her problems, walked back, played with her dogs + old cat.

7:23 pm

I am glad you had a nice day Scrabs!

7:23 pm

sounds great, scrabs

7:23 pm

Then I came home, filled all of the bird feeders, sat out under the trees and read a book. Very nice.

7:23 pm

Mine got considerably better when I got home from work!

7:24 pm

Yep, work can interfere with life.

7:25 pm

scrabs --my front birdfeeder is very multicultural but the cardinals have totally staked out the one in back LOL

7:26 pm

I enjoy just sitting in the yard and watching the birds, chipmunks + squirrels.

7:26 pm

occasional squirrel butts in though

7:26 pm

Plus hubby made the best clam chowder for dinner...so yummy...rivals the clam chowder I used to eat at the Dorns in Morro Bay California!

7:26 pm

squirrel butts?

7:26 pm

I have not seen cardinals here in about 2 yrs. I even bought a tray feeder just for them.

7:26 pm

yum, jilly!!

7:27 pm

i have a LOT of cardinals!

7:27 pm

The other day I walked out under the trees, heard some rustling in the branches above me and a hawk appeared and flew off. Scary.

7:28 pm

we have a LOT of hawks around now

7:28 pm

Of course, butter and 1/2 and 1/2 can't hurt anything...

7:28 pm

yeah, we have redtails

7:28 pm

Just your arteries, Jill, LOL.

7:28 pm

Only canadian geese at this time of year here!

7:29 pm

aahh, monatna

7:29 pm

*montana -- sorry LOL

7:30 pm

Yep! Spring yet off...winter still trying it's best...

7:30 pm

Do you know something odd? I never noticed birds when I was a kid. And as an adult I LOVE birds...and all wildlife.

7:30 pm

Ugh. Have to run. Hope to be back in a bit. {{hugs}} to all!!!!

7:30 pm

Bye Car

7:30 pm

bye car!

7:30 pm

7:30 pm

7:30 pm

Sue, did you finish grading exams?

7:31 pm

Hey everybody... got distracted by FB there. Scrabbs, for heavens sake, will you please put your underwear back on... you are distracting me from the grid....

7:31 pm

later car

7:31 pm

I have a shirt and fleece pullover on, so I am decent.

7:31 pm

I did, scrabs, but I haven't recorded them yet as some are still in my office

7:32 pm

LOL

7:33 pm

I am seeing lots of words that I missed this morning.

7:34 pm

<---Wonders why braless Scrabs is distracting Soodle from the grid. Hmmm.

7:34 pm

I think the image is making her ill.

7:35 pm

Now, now, no self bashing allowed.

7:36 pm

Anybody watching NCAA basketball?

7:37 pm

nope, not much of a sports fan, I'm afraid

7:37 pm

Nope, U of MT out first round, kinda lost interest

7:37 pm

watching tennis!!

7:38 pm

Our local team, St Bonaventure, a small school with 2000 students, almost beat Florida St but couldn't do it.

7:39 pm

well, good for them for getting close, scrabs!

7:40 pm

Phone---sister got her new Subaru Outback.

7:40 pm

nice!! I used to have a Subaru Impreza and liked it very much.

7:41 pm

I have had my Forester for 7 yrs and have 146K miles. I keep my cars til they die.

7:43 pm

Oh the joys of a new car..... Oh the smell of a new car, the excitement, the promises to keep the tyres inflated correctly, to keep the interior clean and shiny, the vows not to allow anybody smoke, curse, fart or otherwise sully the interior. I used to love getting a new car...

7:43 pm

I don't think I will ever buy a new car again, just pre-owned.

7:46 pm

mmm, I worry about not knowing the car's history...prefer new ones

7:46 pm

My ex used to trade in our year old car for a brand new model every year. (Come to think of it, he eventually did the same with his wife..). But it was a time of high excitement, taking ownership of a brand new car.

7:46 pm

We have left our soda bread, honey, and Irish whiskey out for the wee folk. In return, they leave us gold coins. : )

7:47 pm

do they now, Molly?

7:47 pm

So expensive though. Well, I will decide when the time comes. Even better would be to save money and pay cash for a car.

7:48 pm

It's a family tradition, started when the kids were small. : )

7:48 pm

true - I am hoping to buy a new car this winter when my retirement money comes in (I'll have to pay cash). Should be getting enough from vacation and sick leave payout.

7:49 pm

can anyone help me please with the se6/21 cannot monkey it thanks

7:49 pm

Yay Sue!

7:49 pm

at that point my car will be 10 years old

7:50 pm

Impressive Sue!

7:50 pm

don't have it, speed

7:50 pm

se 6/21 - don't tell anyone it's a se 6

7:50 pm

evening all

7:50 pm

Psst, speed, I will tell you a se6, don't tell anyone else!

7:50 pm

Hello Babble cr4/9! I de4/5 it necessary to do a story of clues since there is no list. Many years ago, Mi6/21 O.J. Simpson got ar6/18ed for committing a cr5/14. He was accused of murdering Ronald Goldman&Nicole Simpson. Nicole was his wife who was very mi 5/12able with him. A trial was re7/40d and he was acquitted and set fr4/7. The jurors fr 5/18 him because they didn't think he was guilty of the murders. In the court room, there were cr 5/12 of outrage from Ronald Goldman's family & Nicole Simpson's family. Personally, I believe he was guilty and O.J. should have been fr 5/18 for the murders. It ir 4/4 me he got away with it. But only O.J. knows what really happened and he is keeping it a se6/21 from the re4/4 of the world. Husband wants the computer. He is ti4/4d of waiting for the laptop. I fr 4/7 what he will do if I do not give the computer to him. I am going to be a ri5/10 and ri 4/4 out of this seat and go watch the movie "We 4/8 Side Story. Goodnight all! I'll see you all tomorrow.

7:51 pm
