2:41 am

berri, i agree, adelaide is a very pretty city. i just love the way that you are never very far away from anything there.

it's funny, here the big holiday is Monday; in NY it was Good Friday.

3:56 am

seems odd here on the island, stores are open - don't know if they close one day or not

3:56 am

daughter has to work on Monday, just got today

3:57 am

nobody works on Monday here

3:58 am

in Ontario, we had Friday and Monday off but then, I worked for the government

3:59 am

and the French don't go to church. The little church in our village closed since we've been here, now only opens for the occasional funeral

4:00 am

must be a tiny one, is it?

4:00 am

village has about 12,000

4:01 am

and I had hoped there'd be a "blessing of the animals" here when we emirated

4:02 am

our entire island (I believe) is about 12,000

4:02 am

it must be beautiful there!

4:03 am

was about 10,000 when we came about 17 years ago

4:03 am

it is beautiful Ruby

4:03 am

how did you choose it?

4:03 am

we live in a farming community - very small farms by those I knew in Ontario

4:04 am

hubby was born and raised here - as was his Mom

4:04 am

do they grow asparagus?

4:04 am

that's a great reason!

4:05 am

we don't but some do, I think ours probably comes from Lower Mainland

4:05 am

I grew it in Ontario

4:05 am

hubby retired from teaching HS to become farmer

4:05 am

it used to be you could only get local asparagus (Fr and Belgium) in May, but now they bring it from Sou. Amer. I wn't buy it off-season

4:06 am

time to go! see you soon, flosey

4:06 am

{{big hug}}

4:07 am

hugs ruby, I will be going soon

7:36 am

morning folks

7:36 am

- 6 words use the double a - one wa7 is a compound, one a comparative - the Qu is used more often than you think - for the L words, don't forget the coins - words that gave me re4 trouble: the earlier clued sa7/8; la5/12-6/21 la + doing ***d time (in prison); me7/40 ends in a curve; me7/44 ends in end; wi5/20 what the genie grants you + a vowel.

8:03 am

Absolutely! Doing a less stressful contest this season - impromptu speaking. Thanks for asking!

8:04 am

soon you will be so good at public speaking brooke,you will be able to get one of those jobs of speaking non-answers to the press for various govt officials:) the job actually exists..quite funny really

8:04 am

Definitely. How are youg?

8:04 am

8:10 am

8:11 am

that's sa 7.48, I have that one

8:11 am

pancake rabbit is fast;)

8:11 am

need sa 7/36

8:11 am

be back soon

8:11 am

sa 7/36 - speaking ironically

8:11 am

whoops - sorry annie

8:12 am

thnx welki - i needed the 7/48

8:12 am

back, telemarketer...grrrrr. thanks, te5

8:13 am

i got all those bugger on the provincial do not call list

8:13 am

i left a pretty colorful message on my mla's phone (and also sent an email) lambasting him for robo-calls during dinnertime, bedtime - anytime

8:14 am

you register,put the number of the telemarketer in your list and if they call you after (its 30 or 90 days) then they can be held accountable

8:15 am

and here,all telemarketing calls have a 7 second delay of dead air time at the start of the call,so if no one answers me after the second "hello" i hang up

8:16 am

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fl5uhjJ FTiE

8:17 am

sa7.48 sa & v. short greeting & telemarketers drive you up the ***l

8:17 am

Hello everyone

8:18 am

howdy lynxx

8:18 am

check out that link..now THATS how you deal with annoying repeat telemarketers... lol

8:20 am

yeah, but you have to enter a whole bunch of information every time you make a complaint against a particular number on the govt do not call registry

8:20 am

watch at own risk,did not scan the clip that deeply for world and political correctness:)

8:20 am

hi Cross. We have those registers here too - only charity and market research calls come through.

8:20 am

it is worth it for some of these bozo,s welki

8:20 am

indeed lynxx\

8:22 am

i mean it is not that hard,no means no,mark me off on your auto dialler..i do not want what you are selling(here life insurance telemarketing is big right now)

8:23 am

I have caller ID so if I don't know the number I don't answer the call. I also have whistle by the phone. I've used that a few times too! hehe

8:23 am

hi lynxx

8:23 am

wooo - i like that, judy!

8:23 am

now,saying all the the job of being a telemarketer phone drone is nasty and would wish it on no one

8:24 am

but - i'd feel bad blowing a whistle into somebody's ear - they're just trying to make a living. now, if i had the ear of the schmegeggie who owns the company......

8:24 am

Thats odd (or is it?) they are pushing life insurance heavily here as well.....which I feel is quite strange as everyone contributes to Superannuation now and it usually carries Death & permanent Disability as a matter of course

8:24 am

but if i want insurance,believe me i know how to use a directory and find some

8:25 am

Right now I have one particular number that keeps calling and calling and calling. I've filed a complaint. It stops for a few weeks and starts up again.

8:25 am

can you block their number?

8:25 am

I think I have to pay for that service but I need to check into that, welki

8:26 am

if i die,the wife gets 50 grand,a widows pension and her full disability ..hell i check the brakes on the car now cause i am better off to her dead than alive now:))

8:26 am

lol

8:27 am

i get my son to taste my food for me now;))

8:27 am

anyone have a clue for sa7/36, my last word..please

8:27 am

my husband had better hurry up - he has only 18 months to knock me off

8:27 am

lol

8:28 am

Clue @8.17 Annie

8:28 am

I believe that was for the sa 7.48...I have that one

8:29 am

sa7.36 was the way of speaking , my one was for the cow sa7.48

8:29 am

oh yes, ironically...just dont see it

8:30 am

nor do i

8:30 am

ends a bit like the ravine word - drop the h

8:31 am

ty lynxx

8:31 am

(hard to see)

8:33 am

Finally...thanks, done

8:34 am

excellent - Congrats Annie

8:34 am

Now, I must dust this cave....bye dear babblers

8:35 am

on a side note.we were in the habit of buying a 30 pack of individual bottles of water a week(costs around 3-5 dollars) but the plastic going into the recycle bin was just insane,so i got the mrs and i one of those new britta filtered water bottles(cost 10 dollars) the filter is good for 270 refills or 3 months..works amazing!

8:35 am

bye Annie

8:35 am

yaa for annie!

8:35 am

tc annie

8:35 am

crossy, that's been a staple at our house for years

8:36 am

just got to the point of the plastic waste we were generating was bugging me

8:36 am

Yeah, I bought those for gym. We have the larger one in the fridge - but it does seem to go through the filters fairly fast

8:37 am

The water bottles are recycled and made into something else. Here in CT we pay a 5 cent deposit and if brought back to a store, we can get the 5 cents back

8:37 am

i drink our tapwater just fine,but mrs and son seem to be hyper sensitive to the chlorine,flouride and other town water additives

8:37 am

Our filters last about 3 months.

8:38 am

we do not get deposit refunds on stuff like that just on beer ,wine and booze bottles

8:38 am

yes,ours run 3 months as well it says

8:38 am

I like to take the chlorine out. And, when using yeast for bread, it inhibits the growth of the yeast

8:38 am

ahh,a tidbit for the tidbit man ty bichon

8:38 am

We only have deposits on water and carbonated beverage [including beer]

8:39 am

what is the sa 7, cow?

8:39 am

i did not know that the chlorine in tap water was enough to inhibit yeast growth when baking..very interesting...

8:40 am

But the clorine in water has made such a huge difference in our childrens teeth

8:40 am

It probably would rise the bread, but not as well

8:40 am

The chlorine or the flouride lynxxx?

8:40 am

well,it does,i bake all the time,but if i can make it better using filtered watrer...

8:41 am

Pregnant women and children should drink flouridated water

8:41 am

stupid me! the fluoride of course, the clorine just makes your hair green at the pool - sorry

8:41 am

but you said it is the chlorine that inhibits the yeast?

8:41 am

One thing I noticed is never leave the Britta filtered water in direct sunlight. Algae will grow in it

8:41 am

good to know

8:41 am

Yes, chlorine inhibits yeast, but not flouride

8:43 am

That makes sense...I have to treat tap water when I put it into the fish pond...to get neutralise the chemicals....but it does grow great alga at the start of spring!

8:44 am

and it is now time for crossys quote of the day!!

8:44 am

Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced -- even a proverb is no proverb to you till your life has illustrated it. -- John Keats

8:45 am

(if you have ever wondered i have quotes on one computer,informational tidbits on the other) lol

8:45 am

True - and that must be the motto teenagers live by

8:47 am

yup,i told my son to move out,get a job,get a house,find a good woman and get married while he still knew it all:0

8:47 am

how old is he now?

8:47 am

18

8:48 am

just a few more years then

8:48 am

lol,till he moves back in with the pregnant gf? lol

8:49 am

hopefully not - surely some of your words of wisdom have sunk in!

8:49 am

actually he is not a bad kid,just he is his own universe atm and anything that does not affect him or his fun directly gets tossed over the side and just grunts unless it is about money or the car..standard teen stuff

8:50 am

could I have clues for the sa 7's. Have the 7/48, pls

8:51 am

sa 7/36 to talk with a bite in your voice to derride someones thoughts

8:51 am

ty crossy

8:52 am

is there one relating to a cow?

8:52 am

np

8:52 am

not sure atm

8:52 am

the 7.48 is a cow I believe

8:52 am

"any of a breed of humped dairy cattle" -- I mean, REALLY !!!

Haha! Lucky cattle.

I shouldn't have been taking a sip of coffee while reading your last post though, Erda. Nearly dangerous.

11:25 am

I guess a hump had only one meaning when they made that definition...

Ummm probably. lol

Probably before "hump" became a verb. :P

11:26 am

yup

It's kind of like the word "frigate."

12:07 pm

mine have held steady for a long time.. now they're changing again.. I hate having to have all my glasses redone it is so freaking expensive

12:08 pm

ive been hoping to get lasik, so i need mine to level out. at last years appt, they hadnt changed at all, and this year they are just a smidge better. dr said thats not uncommon + she predicts that next year they will stay the same.

12:09 pm

well I am not a contact kind of person.. I can stand putting things in my eyes

12:09 pm

can't

12:10 pm

i didnt wear them until after college. my eyes are SO sensitive to light that i couldnt wear my glasses all the time. didnt want to splurge on prescription sunglasses, and the transition lenses dont get dark enough for me. so contacts it is!

12:11 pm

mine are sensitive to bright light too

Hi ruru. :)

Hey, did you get my email?

12:11 pm

good morning neil

Morning.

12:12 pm

I really want cashew to work.. but....

See my question, ru?

12:14 pm

no.. i need to get caught up with emails.. I've been gone all week

12:14 pm

when did you send one?

Yesterday.

About the Boggle site.

12:15 pm

oh.. okay.. i'll check in a bit

Ok.

12:16 pm

oh.. great.. we might be playing on different sites?

Haha, yes. But this one is better... check it out.

12:17 pm

okay.. i'll try to get on when you're there

I've given you step-by-step instructions there, how to register an accont. You don't have to to play, but it's better if you do... then you can connect with people you know when they join.

12:17 pm

we'll see if your typing skills are up and running

I can be there now... or anytime in the next little while?

12:18 pm

oh..let me check it out.. be right back

Ok. Follow the instructions I sent and register an account in the player name you want. Probably the one you use here? Then if any other Babblers join they can find you.

12:20 pm

that's the one I play.. I will meet you at the 4's

Ok. Just updating my profile... be right there. But have you registered?

Because I couldn't find a profile for you?

And I prefer to play 5x5 btw. ;)

12:24 pm

hi all

12:26 pm

Ru, you came close to the PB with your nut reference. So close.

12:28 pm

Great musical teaching tool for rhythm jmc

12:59 pm

this is a positive rap group from south side New Orleans

12:59 pm

makes sense jilly

12:59 pm

i wouldn't mind rap if it weren't so negative and angry.

1:00 pm

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3x-i-Kj TRB0 try that one lbd

1:00 pm

positive rap, almost seems like an oxymoron

1:00 pm

my niece did a show for studio 360 about this group

1:00 pm

no there was positive rap in the 1980s too

1:00 pm

No, it exists lbd...plenty of Christian rappers out there...

Negataive rap? Wow... maybe I should become a rapper. Heck... if some of them who are doing it can, I probably have a chance. lol

I might have to grow my hair though.

1:03 pm

christian rappers?

There you are, ru. That was weird... do you type even faster than me?

1:04 pm

jesus

And if you do, I'm surprised you don't finish these grids way ahead of me... given how you just did on the boggle site?!

Haha.

Well I'm thinking I should become a rapper... since rap is so "negative", someone just said.

Gotta be some money in it?

1:05 pm

I've played boggle a long time

1:05 pm

I'm better with a mouse

Well yeah... same here.

Gotta play me on Yahoo sometime in their boggle game. It's called Word Racer.

The grids are better... laid out differently.

You were typing there though?

1:06 pm

I'm slower on the 5X5 boards

Oh? I like those better.

1:06 pm

yes.. typing

So we play on those next time. ;)

have you tried Boggle on wordsplay.net?

1:06 pm

christin rap: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6Q_44L u3x0

1:06 pm

I do okay there... there are some unbelievable players there

Yes Kaplan but it's better on: http://www.weboggle.info/

just screaming if frustration, folks... trying to calm down

2:38 pm

I sometimes wonder why I keep doing these grids. Most of the time, half the words are inane.

2:39 pm

2:40 pm

it's a breed of cattle, spelled with a little s

2:40 pm

Dry form of humor

2:40 pm

my nasty tongue drips sa7/36 often

2:41 pm

my real name is a hebrew name but i'm afraid i don't many hewbrew words...and i meant can you not just type them out like the last one...it' would be a lot quicker!! :) lol

2:41 pm

sa7, lowest form of wit/humour

2:41 pm

tyvm sammy

2:47 pm

It's amazing how clues go overlooked here. Or maybe that is intentional.

2:47 pm

ty sammy :)

2:48 pm

>hangs her head in contrition

2:48 pm

Osell

2:48 pm

that's okay sammy, we all do it

2:49 pm

i think sometimes th chat goes a bit too quick so people can't keep up, i know i'm like that, plus i don't always get the clue given but instead of asking again too quickly i'll try and look for it

2:49 pm

don't worry about it sammy, i'm glad of any clues however given :)

2:50 pm

I don't know Lilliann. I saw the same thing happen last night. The second cluer was thanked and the first cluer responded "What, am I invisible?" It's not that hard to follow chat when you have asked for a clue.

2:51 pm

any other clues wanted before I leave?

2:51 pm

well, i've just re read back and was about to thank nan

2:51 pm

yw everyone :)

2:51 pm

ty nan, i wasn't ignoring your clue

2:51 pm

I often miss the first clue given as well

2:52 pm

too many nan, but thanks anyway :)

2:52 pm

i would be lost without the clues, i get half my words from them. ! and i thank everyone even if the person gives it after i have the word. lol

2:52 pm

ditto for me too.

2:53 pm

it is ewhen there are loads of people talking at the same time as the chat moves really quickly and so can be missed!

2:53 pm

i have been on early in the morning after the flip and it goes so fast , hard to follow

2:53 pm

lunch is ready - bye all :)

2:53 pm

bye nan

2:53 pm

bye nan, tc

2:53 pm

hi ivesy

2:53 pm

as 6/21?

2:54 pm

hi liliann,molly,bichon and anyone i missed

2:54 pm

burnt stuff...only more so

2:54 pm

hi ivesly

2:54 pm

ty zoom

2:55 pm

yw bichon

2:55 pm

as6 is more of the stuff that falls off the end of a cigarette or coal fire remnants

2:55 pm

hi zoom

2:55 pm

hi liliann:)

2:55 pm

people are so touchy, these days....if players don't want to clue then they won't.....they are not doing it for the praise....just to help fellow players along!

2:55 pm

ty lili

2:56 pm

i agree flask and i for one am always grateful:)

2:56 pm

i dont say anything in the early morning too wild and too much emotion .have seen people leave becuz they gave a clue and no one thanked them

2:57 pm

I find that most of the regulars will clue, if they can

2:57 pm

yw bichon

2:57 pm

speaking of which....any clues for ac 7 &8 please?

2:57 pm

i kind of count on them bichon lol. hope they know i appreciate it.

2:58 pm

ac + **men noodle soup + continent

2:58 pm

i'm happy to be thanked for giving a clue but i don't get upset if no-one does...

2:59 pm

I agree with all these points. Sometimes when I ask for a clue it is because my brain is so focussed on solving it in one direction and sometimes all I need is to be told there are 2 of the same letter in the grid or that it is a compound word.

3:00 pm

ty bichon, never would have found that without the clue!

3:00 pm

like Bichon's last clue here for the ac word. Hers is the first clue that made sense to me!

3:00 pm

i'm the same bugs, especially when i've been playing for a few hours and really want to get finished...you just don't see the letters going the other way

3:02 pm

ty Bugs

3:03 pm

that's why we are all different...some clues are easy for some people and some arent

3:04 pm

also being from different countries around the world doesn't always help as we all have different sayings, words, meanings, tv programmes to clue off etc

3:04 pm

I always worry that my clues don't make sense and feel grateful when someone else beats me to it

3:05 pm

good point lilliann

3:05 pm

i'm the same bugsaw

3:05 pm

there are some of us Babblers who are fantastic at Babble, and others, like myself, who are just mediocre. I'm always amazed when people say: down to my last 10, am stuck, think I'll list

3:05 pm

you both give wonderful clues!

3:06 pm

hi lbd! and hi to all other lurkers too

3:06 pm

i'm with you bichon...i'll list as early as i can

3:06 pm

and bichon, you are more than mediocre

3:06 pm

hi lbd :)

3:06 pm

hi bugs, hi lilli

3:06 pm

I am not very good either bichon but I love the personal challenge of this game

3:07 pm

I try to make it at least half way. and, then there are the clues people give here

3:07 pm

i'll get as many words a s i can then i list

3:07 pm

me too bug. instead of starting at the a's and word forward/... i usually start at the end

3:08 pm

also, I need to go away and come back fresh when my brain can't find any more words.

3:08 pm

i will never be able to solve a grid in one sitting without a list

3:08 pm

I always start with the words I can find.

3:08 pm

I do this in steps. Also have to stop for needy dogs, hubby.

3:09 pm

me too Babble Rabble

3:09 pm

i just look at the grid and get the words i see straight away then i will look at the stats and find some more then instead of gerring myself worked up and spending all day playing babble even tho i enjoy the company here i will list and try and finish quickly

3:09 pm

i go thru the tile stats and try to find words. then i look at a list. if lickety is up i go thru that list then i send the words to the clues.. lol.. we all have so many different ways. but iwould be lost without a list

3:10 pm

yes, please keep the lists coming!

3:11 pm

harder without lickety, but thankful for the list that people post.

3:11 pm

ha 6/21?

3:12 pm

I don't generally list when Lickety isn't up.

rented the apartment already.... :-(

past tense of "have" + "allow"

3:13 pm

hi ((((((((((diane)))))))))

oops... not really past tense... just another form of the verb

3:13 pm

i must admit i can't live without lickety and am thankful to lickety and mrp for it and also to all the people who put up lists when lickety is there

3:13 pm

ty Diane and hi

hiya (((((( ivesy )))))))

3:14 pm

hi diane

hi Bugsaw :-)

3:14 pm

tyvm diane and hi

hi bichon :-)

3:14 pm

little behind on this grid.... someone started me playing angry birds lol..now im hooked

3:14 pm

hi br

I was just going to comment on earlier chat... it helps to leave the grid and mop a few floors... come back to it, and "voila".... a bunch of words just seem to appear !!

worked for me :-)

Hi lilliann :-)

3:16 pm

i never sit and do the grid all at once.. too stressful. there is one person in the very early morning who gets them done so fast...a whiz

3:16 pm

and me Diane

3:16 pm

i love reading how everyone attacks the grid differently. I'm too OCD to not start at the top and work my way thru.

I don't either, ivesy

3:17 pm

I always start at the top left, like reading

lol.... lbdawger... I do it the very same way !

3:17 pm

Any help for le5.18w2ould be much appreciated!

except I work down each column , not across .

3:17 pm

its interesting . with my shedule lately dont get to finish

3:17 pm

angry birds ivesy??

3:18 pm

game on facebook lil.. addicting

3:18 pm

i try to get at le5 half of each tile then move on, but sometimes it's just do my best. usually 3/4ths of the way before I list.

3:18 pm

uh oh, angry birds on facebook.

3:18 pm

a couple of my daughters and granddaughters are addicted to some drawing game... have to have an ipad or a fancy phone to play it but looked like fun

Pickles, the wa 7 is a compound word. To clean plus a remnant or shred of material

3:51 pm

ty soodle

3:52 pm

sa7/48?

3:52 pm

sa6...starts like a word for holy + use the high point tile and a vowel for the rest

3:53 pm

<---Doesn't know why people use "French for" clues

3:54 pm

those Canadians and their french-knowing!!!

3:54 pm

and non-Canadian french-knowers

3:54 pm

<---- wonders why Molly is snagging marshmallow chocs as her icon seems to indicate she is well catered for, choclit-wise!!

3:55 pm

because some people know french molly and when you get clued over and over again with certain french, english, american etc words they stick in your mind...but i'm afraid with my memory not always mine :(

3:55 pm

i'm not getting an sa 7 out of that though

3:55 pm

<---- should not have any more chocolate today

3:56 pm

sa7/8 sa and shorten word for hello and nearly the word for a brick column that houses are made of

3:57 pm

in the pb you can have as much choc as you like

3:57 pm

and pl for8...sorry, crap clue

3:57 pm

Yeah, but time and time again, people respond "I don't know French".

3:57 pm

I got it immediately, Lilli. thanks :-)

3:59 pm

ah ok molly.that's why i have a french dictionary plus my mam and dad live there, so it does come in handy at times :)

4:04 pm

<---- Loves France. Molly! Put France on our 'round the world itinerary' for when our numbers come up....

4:05 pm

Horray for Lickety!

4:05 pm

yaa for lickety!

4:05 pm

<--- falling asleep

4:06 pm

it sure is molly.i know people will say well, it's only france and it near to us but getting there isn't always that easy. 1, it is expensive and it is not easy for me and the bairn when hubby is working away all the time.my disability doesn't help!! plus now they are getting older and i just wish they would move back to england but they love france too much so i can't ask them to move back just for us, and now their house is on the market and they want to move to the south of france which is even further for my brother and i to travel

4:44 pm

have to do it old fashioned with that evil shortening

4:44 pm

shortcrust pastry with meat, potatoes,and veg and seasoning

4:45 pm

yep, this one has egg yolk and vinegar in it. Holds together really well...I make extra and freeze it

4:45 pm

4:48 pm

5:20 pm

*sprinkles holy water on himself*

5:22 pm

good grief...the second day of deadly shooting at Walmart....just why I never use that store if at all possible....

5:22 pm

like that's going to make you purer!!! probably the first wash you've had in months :)

5:22 pm

as in people killed jilly?

5:22 pm

was there a sale or something jilly?

5:24 pm

Yes, yesterday somewhere a police officer was killed during a robbery, today an employee was shot during a robbery...

5:24 pm

jeez...

5:24 pm

well.. walmart does sell a lot of guns

5:24 pm

how awful...

5:24 pm

have they caught the robbers?

5:25 pm

that is true...ruru

5:25 pm

didn't say in either incident lilliann

5:25 pm

that was customer service lillian

5:25 pm

so does walmart sell everything?

5:25 pm

Yep....

5:26 pm

the bigger stores are dry goods and grocery...

5:26 pm

maybe they should stop selling guns as people with children shop in it

5:27 pm

bingo lillian

5:27 pm

maybe they should stop selling guns full stop!

5:27 pm

hi all

5:27 pm

unfortunatly here in the US we seem to have a phobia about guns..."They can take my guns when they pry it out of my cold dead fingers..."

5:27 pm

we don't have shops that sell everything. we have gun shops but they only sell guns

5:27 pm

Hi kallia

5:28 pm

hi kallia

5:28 pm

I don't think I could live in a country where guns are so freely available...gives me the creeps seeing police over here with guns on. Morning all

5:28 pm

hmm, i think this connection is tenuous at best... the gunmen didn't *buy* their guns at walmart?

5:28 pm

HI lynxx

5:28 pm

hi lili, jilly and lynxxx

5:29 pm

the problem is kallia, you're never going to stop guns being sold....legally is fine as people have to have the paperwork and be legal but it's the illegal gun trade you are never going to stop

5:29 pm

true leslie ann...it's people using them, not the guns

5:29 pm

hi lyn

5:29 pm

brb

5:29 pm

oh I agree there Liliann, but I believe they are very freely available legally in the US

5:30 pm

yes they are.

5:30 pm

we don't have the same culture here...so it's hard to understand it

5:31 pm

i sometimes wish are police would carry guns and not just the armed response unit as all out polish have are truncheons...when my dad was a policeman it was a thick wooden one now they are thinner and not wood and they also carry cs spray but if someone is shooting at yopu they're not really going to help!!

5:32 pm

I don't agree there lilliann...thin edge of the wedge...

5:32 pm

*i think i've just spoken swaheli.... meant police

5:33 pm

knew what you meant :)

5:34 pm

so then the criminals can shoot and kill us and our police but out police can't do anything back? apart from cs spray them if they're near and they haven't been shot first??

5:34 pm

i don't like guns and i don'tapprove of them but it seems a bit one sided!

5:35 pm

you would really like to see armed police walking around?

5:35 pm

WE virtually banned guns after a couple of mass murder episodes...would be interesting to see the crime statistics now

5:35 pm

i'm not big on guns either...

5:36 pm

they do in all the other countries, especially europe

5:36 pm

i believe in the right to bear arms... but not weapons that have mulitple rounds and rapid fire

5:36 pm

I don't Kallia - and they do.

5:37 pm

I would hate it, didn't know they did in Oz lynxxx

5:37 pm

i don't know if i'dlike to or not, but what i'm saying is that the criminals in this country carry guns and knives and aren'tafraid to use them but our police force doesn't have the weapons to match

5:37 pm

I've never seen a police officer without arms

5:38 pm

not all crime is gun related though...

5:38 pm

but does the US really need to 'bear arms' anymore - the society has changed a lot since the Wild Wild West. Surely violence begets violence

5:38 pm

and police can and have made mistakes when they have been armed

5:39 pm

that's my feeling about it Lynxxx

5:39 pm

hmm.. good point.. I mean I wouldn't have a gun around my house.. but I believe in the right. to.. it's in our sonstitution

5:39 pm

i've seen armed police at airports in this country and felt a safer...saying that they can't stop a bomb!!

5:39 pm

yeah - like the 68 yo black veteran they shot in his bed/home (a few months ago?)

5:39 pm

absolutely. as do civilians who have concealed carry permits.

5:39 pm

if you have a gun (police or otherwise) it is likely to be used

5:40 pm

but being in the chicago area, IL is the only state in the US without concealed carry laws - the crime rate is terrible. to lil's point - more criminals with guns than law-abiding citizens

5:40 pm

concealed carry permits? you mean they can carry a hidden gun legally?

5:41 pm

i don't feel strongly either way, btw - just adding to the convo

5:41 pm

yes

5:41 pm

yes kallia

5:41 pm

I think Florida, Texas, Arizona, for sure

5:41 pm

I think also here in California too

5:41 pm

Kansas has it

5:41 pm

I don't think that we are in the same league for guns as us...for criminal use I mean

5:42 pm

Colorado

5:42 pm

yes, Illinois is the only state without.

5:42 pm

the one thing though sad as it is ....you will never stop people having a gun or knife in any country...even if it is illegal which it is in many countries around the world...it like saying stealing is illegal, which it is, but it's never stopped!!

5:42 pm

yes criminals do use guns, but having police or private citizens being able to shot willy nilly isn't the answer in my opinion...

5:42 pm

How good would that feel - not knowing that the guy next to you is carrying a loaded gun!!! ****!

5:43 pm

no of course you wont stop it, but armed police would make it worse...imo

5:43 pm

bloody scary - remind me never to go to the States

5:43 pm

it would feel dreadful lyn

5:43 pm

it's kind of self defeated,,, there are many places you can't have one,,,, Walmart is probaly one,, they probably have the sign on the door as you go in,,,,

5:44 pm

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concealed _carry_in_the_United_States

5:44 pm

we have armed police kallia

5:44 pm

or like me .. a guy next to you "loaded"

5:44 pm

yes, but not in the normal course of events...police are not routinely armed

5:44 pm

but not all our police carry guns like other countries

5:45 pm

a loaded (alcohol) guy carrying a loaded gun - sure, feeling even more worried

5:46 pm

anyway...can you really buy guns at Walmart?

5:47 pm

that's what caught my eye in the first place...

5:47 pm

especially if he is also illiterate and can't read the sign on the Walmart door that says he can't enter with a gun!

5:47 pm

yes you can

5:47 pm

the problem is lyn, we're never going to stop people from carrying guns.there will always be an illegal trade of them

5:47 pm

along with the groceries.....the mind boggles

5:48 pm

it's not like, an aisle next to the cereal... it's a separate section that's got everything locked up behind glass. but still, yes i guess it's a bit alarming when you stop and think about it.

5:48 pm

I'm more worried about that woman shopper in teh sweater aisle

5:49 pm

of course Lill - but surely the less there are around and the the harder it is to get them - the better off we all are. We have certainly gone down in the number of mass murders we have

5:49 pm

my brother was in the u.s at christmas in the south somewhere and he was taken to a gun fayre(he didn'twant any guns by the way)and they had missile launchers and all sorts and on the other side of the partition was a christmas fayre full of children!

5:50 pm

and that was legal lillian...

5:50 pm

*jingle bombs jingle bombs jingle bombs away*

5:50 pm

yes

5:50 pm

lol ru.....

5:51 pm

ruru!!!!

5:51 pm

missile launchers? what could anyone possibly want one of those for!

5:51 pm

blow people up they don't like??

5:51 pm

for disagreeable neighbors Kallia of course

5:52 pm

well yes, but I cant believe they could buy one legally.....

5:52 pm

he couldn't believe it and he has been out in afghanistan with the army

5:53 pm

so has my son lil

5:53 pm

he said there was all sorts of weapons

5:53 pm

and Iraq and NI

5:54 pm

and so many sons who didn't come back..

5:54 pm

my brother was bosnia, 2nd gulf but he is a ta

5:54 pm

imagine if there was no trade in weapons manufacture....

5:54 pm

i know...it is so sad to hear the stories

5:55 pm

someday lynn.. someday

5:55 pm

Andrew was Bosnia too...when he was first in the army...

5:55 pm

yes ...Give peace a chance....

5:55 pm

20 years anniversary of Bosnia isn't it...seems like yesterday

5:56 pm

blimey that long ago?

5:56 pm

it seems like yesterday...so very sad...

5:56 pm

it does seem like yesterday

5:56 pm

20 years??

5:57 pm

Andrew wasn't in the army 20 years ok...

5:57 pm

ago....

5:58 pm

my heart and soul go out to all the familes around the world who have lost men and women but we never hear about the ones who are fighting for their lives and will never have the life they had before

5:58 pm

17 ...but maybe he was at the end...

5:58 pm

well that is one thing they do much better in the US then we do here Lil

5:59 pm

look after the vets

6:00 pm

We just had a young Gulf War veteran die in his sleep. He had a traumatic brain injury...just in his early 30's...so sad

6:00 pm

that's why we have help for heroes and other charities. the government should pay more though as they've sent them out! i make cards and any money i get goes to them

6:00 pm

it is sad Jilly, young men in the prime of life..

6:00 pm

Well Kallia, it's not as rosy of care as one might here. Some of these injured vets are really having to fight to get benefits....

6:00 pm

I'd better go walk Stew, time has slipped away and he is starting to bounce around the room. BBL

6:00 pm

how sad jilly

6:01 pm

yes but it shouldn't be down to charities should it...it should be a right for them to be looked after

6:01 pm

nite lyn, tc

6:01 pm

But the citizens rise up to help. They had just built a home for the young man and his family..

6:01 pm

exactly kallia

6:04 pm

6:04 pm

I know there IS good news on this earth...just seems to never be broadcast

6:06 pm

i know...that's why i don't always watch the news as it's either bad or political!!

6:06 pm

Well, the politics here is verging on humorous...

6:06 pm

i normally get it off the net, that way i can pick and choose what i hear and read

6:07 pm

hello everyone! back for the last 13...

7:16 pm

the marshmallow candy... shaped like a chicken, a bunny etc

7:16 pm

no.....what??? that is so sad!!

7:17 pm

Chocolate covered marshmallow eggs. A candy company called Russel Stover makes them here in the US.

7:17 pm

why do you call it peeps?

7:17 pm

i assume they were originally made in baby chicken shapes ...

7:17 pm

that sounds really sickly!!!

7:45 pm

7:45 pm

*cute

7:46 pm

lilliann, she is a manx cat that came up to my dad as a stray and her name is Calico

this grid, is not that fun.

7:46 pm

no it's not red!

7:47 pm

my parents call me and tell me "guess what your sister did today:

7:55 pm

what did they say jen? sory been sidetracked!

7:56 pm

lilliann, my parents would call me and tell me what "my sister" did (the cat)

7:57 pm

oh, ok. she looks very much like and looks like she has the personality of mine too...as in thinks she rules the roost!!

8:00 pm

she does rule the roost!

8:00 pm

i will tell you something funny though

8:01 pm

she sat on the kitchen one morning while my dad was eating breakfast and reading the morning paper

8:02 pm

very much like mine!. mine is a rescue cat and she as all over my hubby when he is home and ignores me and when he is away she'smy cat...as in playing the game...bless her!!

8:02 pm

she zoomed past him almost knocking his coffee cup off of the table

8:02 pm

he screamed "Calico!"

8:02 pm

calico ran to the bedroom where my mom was getting dressed

8:03 pm

calico got between her legs like "help me momma!"

8:03 pm

my mom asked her what did she do and calico meowed at her

8:05 pm

when mom went to my dad to find out calico did, he told her and mom told him what calico did, protect me mama!

8:06 pm

8:11 pm

8:16 pm

10:07 pm

bah! typed all around it thanks

10:08 pm

... fourteen to go ... ... all praise be to lickety and the list ...

Mr Pres ours is open and I think it is bull crap.

10:15 pm

ok, just announced in babble community on FB that clues will now be up half hour after flip... that will happen everyday now I hope!! here is to automation! cheers!

10:16 pm

wow! thanks mr pres!

10:16 pm

infern, our local community stores are open... that is nice as we get to all see eachother and enjoy the company of those we cherish around here

10:16 pm

yw m9!

I don't mean churches and get together places I mean the shops

10:17 pm

i like that, 1/2 hour, gives people time to call the biggies

10:17 pm

indeed leslie, I thought that would be the most appropriate time for that

10:19 pm

infern, i mean the local shops too... our chicken/salad shop, grog shop, newsagency, deli and supermarket and bread/pie shop are all open today

10:19 pm

(((mrp)))

10:19 pm

((((stid)))) !

10:20 pm

:-) happy to see you online -- I see you have automated the clues!

10:20 pm

but more importantly, it seems that you are getting some handle on things in real life?

Ok I am not religous and it isn't listed as a public holiday but still it used to be and I think if Friday is so important then so should the resurrection.

HI stid

10:20 pm

good to see you too! yes I have arranged it... just hope it works each time. I am away on your monday to friday so needed to get it set up

10:20 pm

i agree with stiddy on importance.

10:21 pm

i believe it was a little challenging when clues didn't go up for over 2 weeks!

10:21 pm

hey LA

Hi LA

10:21 pm

it was a bit challenging, but we are a tough lot, we babblers!

10:21 pm

which is what makes babblers the best!!

10:22 pm

yes, importantly, I am trying to get my life on track, my family and my happiness. I am feeling sad but the risk I have taken is so worth it

10:22 pm

(((More hugs for mrp))) **and choclit**

Mr Pres I am at a loss as to what is happening but i can be found on Fb

10:23 pm

well, there is an ocean full of love for you, mrp

10:23 pm

thanks so much ((hugs))

10:23 pm

Grant (stidkid#2) just got two budgies, and it made me think of you!

10:25 pm

I need to get good pics of them. but so far they hide behind things in the cage or won't sit still at all.

10:25 pm

what is a budgie

It is a bird Leslie

10:25 pm

budgie, from budgerigar = parakeet

10:25 pm

a small colourful parakeet

10:26 pm

oh! i was thinking some kind of varmint.

10:26 pm

they will settle down and be great pets!

10:26 pm

varmint! lol

I had one that lived for ages

10:27 pm

I hope so -- LOL right now they are pretty stupid, jumping out of one's hand and onto the floor RIGHT in FRONT of the DOG.... who is fortunately not a great hunter

10:27 pm

lols "fortunately not a great hunter"

10:29 pm

*rolls eyes in despair* between kids and birds and dogs and health issues (minor, but persistent and annoying) the days this "vacation" have been hectic!

10:30 pm

I am stuck at 59, should I list or call it good enough? I don't want to be a slave to finishing...

10:30 pm

i've been listing for about an hour, almost done

Up to you Stid

10:30 pm

... that's when I listed about an hour ago ... still four to get

10:30 pm

... the list is pretty helpful tonight

Hi Dos I am finding morewords to be a big help on my second tume aruond

10:32 pm

speaking of finishing, my last is me 7/44?

10:32 pm

hey doseffing!

10:33 pm

it's not mettiga...

10:33 pm

... me 7/44 ... think wood ... with a scent ... I think it has been burnt ... use only six tile

10:33 pm

... evening stidmama ... how's the teaching gig going?

10:33 pm

i keep trying a variant of bbq with little success

10:34 pm

thanks doseffing! It's like the barbeque wood from the southwest, minus the last vowel, LA

10:34 pm

ahhh it was! thanks, fireworks

10:34 pm

... don't stop

Yah Leslie

10:34 pm

YAY LA!

10:36 pm

what do you need, dos?

10:36 pm

teaching goes well, doseffing, when I have work. Nothing this last week due to spring break, and nothing pre-scheduled for the coming week (but I usually get at least two calls). the following week, I have FOUR days pre-scheduled! :-) and the jobs for next year are starting to open up. Trying to decide if I should try for them or wait another year and see if I can get some long-term sub work under my belt.

10:37 pm

I do love being in the classrooms, though stidmama <3 teaching!

10:37 pm

... if you can get a full time contract ... take it ... (given the location is good)

10:37 pm

i am so proud of you stiddy!

10:38 pm

thanks doseffing, I will start filling out the forms this coming week when people are back in their offices, then. :-)

10:38 pm

... as someone who is stuck with supply work ... (sorry ... you call it sub work) ... there are few things more frustrating than supplying for some young whipper snapper who beat you out for a contract job because he was younger ...

10:39 pm

... not because he was better

10:40 pm

Well I am an OLD whipper-snapper, as this is my "second career" (after full-time parenting more than 16 years). So I have the disadvantages of BOTH age and inexperience! *sigh* It's okay, I will find something. The people I sub for really seem to like me.

Dose happened to me except I didn't get the job to a complete and utter half witt

10:41 pm

... up here the only people who hate subs more than the students is the regular teachers and the administators

and I am not calling this person a half wit because she got the job over me she really was dense

10:43 pm

... it's my third (or is it my fourth) career ... and at my seemingly advanced age ... everyone who has a job is demanding why I don't quit ... ... ... they refuse to allow that my kid has the right to ask for help with her tuition too ... just like their kids

10:43 pm

it's frustrating, dose, to be in schools where they think subs aren't "real" teachers. I have one school where every time some bright child inquires as to whether I am a real teacher. When I say that I am, they want to know where my real classroom is. So I tell them that I took this year off so I would be available to my family (this is 90% of the reason I didn't apply for any jobs until halfway through this year).

Stid you could always say it is more fun to borrow someone else's class room then yuo get more of a choice of stuff to play with

10:45 pm

... know the feeling only too well ... ... I keep going into classes and telling the kids what it is they're supposed to learn ... and keep getting this amazing look on their faces because no one has ever told them before ...

10:47 pm

I was asked back several times by one teacher because after I was there (and half the kids refused to work) the kids told the teacher that I really knew what I was doing and they actually had done a lot of the work I assigned! LOL I just tell them I am the teacher in charge for the day and it may be different from the regular teacher, but it will be okay. Most kids are calmed by that. And with older kids I don't allow even minor infractions (automatic ticket to the office) at first -- once I have been in the room once or twice everyone knows that I mean business and it's easier.

10:49 pm

and I do think it's true, lady -- I really enjoy seeing how other teachers set things up.

10:49 pm

ah, just found the south african cattle pens!

10:49 pm

down to 49. listing now.

10:52 pm

FINISHED!! VERY EXCELLENT!!

10:52 pm

YAY godthaab

10:52 pm

... my work is entirely high school ... i end up spending as much time doing guidance work in class as I spend doing math ... ... but I rarely get more than one day with a group ... ... but it has reached the point where I can't go to a restaurant in the evening without having some kid saying hello to me ... ... I'll bet there aren't many subs who can say that in my board ... ... ... but I mustn't be bitter about it ... ... and I shouldn't talk about it after as much beer as I had this evening ...

10:53 pm

(((dose))) it is a particularly wonderful person who can do what you do; I am so inspired by you

10:54 pm

... appreciate that ... thanks ...

11:03 pm

... okay ... with the help of lickety's list ... some excellent clues ... and going back through the archived log for the sa7's ... the fireworks have appeared ... ... amazing ... in my condition ... one is supposed to drink after babble ... not before ... ... ... Allons y! ... Go Habs ... ... even if we did finish last ... ... just remember ... the last time the Habs finisihed last they signed Maurice Richard and won the Stanley Cu[ 21 or the next 38 years ... ... consider that all you poor misguided Leaf and Bruin fans ... ... ... g'night all

11:03 pm

YAY doseffing!!!

Night Doffs

11:04 pm

good morning all - well done dose - and I am behind you, you didn;t finish last LOL

11:05 pm

11:05 pm

glantarell, I actually got out in my garden for more than an hour (total time) today!!! but I was so busy working I forgot to take any pictures!

I am disappointed my heated pillow moved. Darn cat

11:05 pm

rofl lady

11:05 pm

rhys cynnar, ond dwi ddim yn cysgu

11:06 pm

Glan ... ... put five pounds on the Red Dragons for the next World Cup ... ... it's a sure thing

She was keeping my head warm. SHe was on the arm of the chair. I really need her on my feet

11:06 pm

Hi Herin - didn't thin you needed heated pillows in Oz - nice and warm there, yes?

Not at the moment. A heated pillow is the cat

And it is heading into Autumn

11:07 pm

Oh yes, Dose - except we Welsh get too complacent after weve won some stuff

11:07 pm

and then we go downhill fast

11:07 pm

supposed to be spring here but last week has been much cooler than 3 weeks before

11:07 pm

oh, the dictionary isn't finding what you wrote, glantarell! help please?

11:08 pm

i made a mistake with rhys

11:08 pm

it was over 60 today for the first time this year. felt very very good. that's 60 f, about 18 C outside

11:08 pm

rhy cynnar = too early

11:08 pm

mae'n pump o'r cloch - it's 5 o'clock

It was 30C on friday now it is 20cish and chilly

11:09 pm

oh! that's not horrible, but why up so early on the weekend?

11:09 pm

dwi ddim yn cysgu - i am not sleeping

11:09 pm

ddim = not, yes?

11:09 pm

had 5 hours, which seems to be about it these days

11:09 pm

ddim = not

11:09 pm

dwi yn = I am, cysgu = sleep

11:09 pm

yes

11:10 pm

... Just remember ... they can keep their bloody english prince of wales ... ... and as Flanders and Swan ointed out ... ... my god forty years ago ... the only song the english have about their homeland is entitled ... "Jerusalem" ...

11:10 pm

huzzah! I got it! had to take it apart a bit...

11:10 pm

tell me about it Dose!

11:10 pm

so... ydch ddim chi cysgu?

Ouio you cheeky monkey's. I am English

11:11 pm

I work for Welsh government - helping care for and present the major Welsh castles - and we have been promised by Buckingham Palace that there will never be another investiture of an English Prince of Wales in a Welsh castle....

11:12 pm

ydych chi ddim yn gallu cysgu?

11:12 pm

allwch chi ddim yn cysgu?

Glantarell I would love to find out info on my great grandfather Bampi

11:12 pm

I am less English than almost anything else -- claim Wales from an ethnically Irish ancestor who was born in one of the mining towns. *grin* but the old cottage in Chard where the English ancestor came from is still standing 500 years later!

11:13 pm

local people still won;t set foot in Caernarfon castle 35 years after Charles was invested there

Glant no one even the English wants Charles

11:13 pm

which mining town Herin? I have just moved into a mining town...

11:14 pm

and Bampi is a south Wales valleys word for grandfather

11:14 pm

someday I want to see Merthyr Tydfil... and County Down (Downpatrick) and Dingle in Ireland.

11:14 pm

Merthyr tydfil - now there's a townm - cowboy country LOL

11:15 pm

we use the word cowboy differently here in the Uk to in the US - can mean a person who doesn;t do a proper job (tradesman) or wild country

11:15 pm

MT is about 15 miles form me, so you can come and stay here when you visit LOL

11:15 pm

I think I "belong" here though -- as much of a mix as I am in ancestry, I know I don't belong anywhere else!

11:16 pm

AC 7/8

11:16 pm

oh, I am glad you explained the terminology, glantarell!

11:16 pm

I would dearly love to see your new home, glantarell -- it's going to be a long time though before I can save up the money!

11:17 pm

down to 29. back to the grid...

11:17 pm

I'm looking for those too bleugirl

11:17 pm

my new home is small, and slowly getting a bit more like home

11:18 pm

me three, bleu -- no idea how those get put together yet

11:18 pm

ac + consonant + continent

11:18 pm

ac76 sounds like somebody who is more crazy

11:19 pm

great clues! thanks! down to 24

Glantar not sure about Bampi but my father was born in the same town as Tome Jones

11:19 pm

Rhydfelin - less than 10 miles form me, suburb of Pontypridd

11:19 pm

whats the ac 6

11:20 pm

2 x ac6

11:20 pm

one is more painful

11:20 pm

ac 6 are two: one is to let someone go after being accused of a crime

11:20 pm

the other is to find innocent in court

11:20 pm

sorry i mean ac 8

11:20 pm

brb

My aunt is doing the family tree so I actually found out hi real name recently

11:20 pm

NM

11:20 pm

ac8 is pl of 7

11:20 pm

ca 6/24

11:21 pm

if you need me to go to a local archive to find more out I can do that for you Herin

That would be fantastic. i know that he was a coal miner and walked from Wales to London in the 1900's when there was the big strike and I know that he was in WW1 in Galipoli

11:23 pm

you know the 1901 and I think 1911 censuses are online and can be searched?

11:23 pm

if you have an address

Really? Would a name be sufficent?

11:24 pm

gallipoli, wow....

11:24 pm

but I can go to the Glamorgam archive and find more out - also there's a website called Coflein where you can search for historical information about places

11:24 pm

depends on the name

11:24 pm

name and ton might work

Was babies listed?

11:25 pm

sometimes

11:26 pm

have a look at these entries for Pontypridd - http://www.coflein.gov.uk/en/search/?s impleTerm=pontypridd&submit=Search&sub mit=Search

11:26 pm

you will start to get a feel for the place

My Grandma had an unusual name

11:27 pm

that would make her easier to find
