flip hi all ... glad you made it through the bad storms, dart
volley was pretty scary....that storm literally tracked from OK straight towards our house...damage is as close as a mile or two away....reformed and is still on the ground 40 miles NE of here now
wow, dart -- scary!
hi volley
wow... cannot believe how long it was there, and that it is still in your area... isn't that unusual to stay put that long?
sc8
we're not done yet...another line just west of here.....north of here salina has had tornado warnings for 3 different tornadoes from 3 diff. storms in the last 5 hours
dart what kind of storm i haven't heard news is it real bad
I think I would be on vacation in another state for many weeks... stay safe!
CL6
eu 7
dart -- do you have a safe hidy-hole?

hi flosey and viajes and jes and freep and everyone
and aloy
thx just....kind of unnerving when you see the weather channel guys in your town all day long...and then they had to take cover too
yikes
wise words I just heard from Ellen Degeneres -- "Procrastinate NOW -- don't put it off."
glad you are ok, dart
stats for the 2nd column i, please?
they were with the weather service people...they all had to abandon the office and take cover for ten minutes

jill -- think of the rocky slopes on either side of the Columbia Icefields
have nbs but missing some tiles
nan -- what do those icefields start with?
boy, those are two odd hi6s I just found
the columbia ice fields -- on the highway from Banff to Jaspar
There is also Mo 7 Lake up there
nan, I'm confused -- was that icefields remark supposed to be a clue? If so, for what?
mo 7-8: rocky slopes on either side of a glacier
ah -- got them for nbs -- thks, nan
hi jill
hi bab -- did you see what I said about nbt and nbs?
i am getting not sofar on this one to many cons not enouhg vowels

rogaine is in the grid.. anyone follically challenged?
nan - for the Mo 7 & 8, there is an area on Wisconsin with the same name- distinct land topography left from the sliding of glaciers. I almost forgot about it until I was thinking about your clue!
i see it ru
ruru..you almost got your wish

Bite your tongue, ruru
oh no dart when did this happen to u?
not too sure about that -- having 2nd thoughts about going down to sit on the SanAndreas fault next winter

right before the flip
too bad it didn't happen for yesterday's big grid dart. (evil laugh)
you saying you would rather be in an earthquake
you're cruel ruru lol
i don't want either one
i'm in mountains
earthquakes don't bother me
we lived in tornado alley when i was 6 yrs old
scary i tell ya
had to hit basement us an neighbors our basement thye didn't have one
You probabl;y didn't live through a big one, ruru
tornadoes would scare the crap out of me
I sure did erda.. I was closer to it than Kennsington
hide in basement darn typos
I was surfing in my living room on wood floors
earthquakes are more devious than tornadoes; with tornadoes, at least you know when they're coming
<----- reminds self to not be underneath ruru during a tornado
that depends dart
oh dart
I was in the San Francisco Opera House during the Loma Prieta earthquake -- not funny at all
down to 85 -- enough for me tonight -- see you tomorrow :) Hope all stays well with you Dart

lickety for this board not up on my end
clues
have there been any casualties
try refresh bab
it still last board
go out and come back in again babblelady
ok
thet knew it wasn't a matter of if...it was how many and where
refresh doesn't work for me either
i'm using it now...don't know how long i'll be on...working for me
don't know of any casualties yet volley...dark and they are having problems getting around with downed power lines and such
perhaps because of the 2 day heads up they kept everyone safe
how far is this from where you are dart?
think pretty much everyone knew things were going to happen because of that
that is good
flosey...missed us by about a mile...we were in the basement 20 mins before the flip and thought we were going to get hit....it veered just se of us at the last second
wow, that's too close, very frightening
makes my stomach hurt thinking about it
another batch just set of the radio....big hail and 75 mpph winds about 30 mins from now

hi granny
they have sent me a product which expired last november, and are refusing to exchange it. i have continued to take my last lot of medication (expired last november ) and have noticed a decided fall off in efficiency of the med.
what are they saying Rose? can you take a photo of the goods and send it to prove it
how can someone be gormless when gorm isn't a word?

ty...going to run...next batch coming thru now...nite all
what made me burp?
g'night dart be safe
torgone, it is Anatrin, a herbal remedy for fibromyalgia.
ty flos pooof
swmbo, always does at this time...not you
Did you send them a photo Rose, to prove the expiry?
lyn, they haven't denied it...just won't send me newer meds. they said the expiry is a guide only, and the anatrin last for up to 2-5 years past expiry.
78 to go but must get to bed, goodnight all, be back in the morning
I think I would contact the US regulators and ask them
but as i have said, i have noticed a decline in the efficiency of the med. since last february
night flosey, sleep well, my friend
that's why i asked in this forum, lyn...hoped an american resident could point me in the right direction
soooo. torgone, you there? can you help me? who do i contact?
herbal remedies are unregulated. they are not considered food or medications. I would be quite surprised if there is anyone to contact.
Herbal suplements are unregulated .. There is not much help to be had ..
They look as though they offer a 180 day money back guarantee ??
hi BrandyJack
Hi lynxx
godd point, lyn, will check that out
hello all - i have managed nbt - but need an 8 or two for nbs - any stats please for 8's
Hi Ursh
hey jack....
Only possible recourse, if you paid via credit card, is to lodge a complaint with the issuer.
urshy, plural form of funeral address
TY Rose
just can't work it out, jack, they sent me 4 bottles of new med, plus 2 out of date ones. and i paid last march, can i still lodge a complaint with the credit card peeps?
ty rose - was looking for cemetary type words thinking funeral address would be a cemetary
lol, urshy....sorry, dear one, but that is too funny
Everything depends on the credit card company. The policies differ depending on the products and the company. They've acknowledged sending you outdated product. When you say last march, are you referring to 2011 or 2012? I presume 2012.
jack, just spoke to him who must be obeyed, he says to give the company the opportunity to respond to my last email( other side of the weekend).
whats funny is, I've never seen either of those words before, but from a meager description, I was able to get both of those words with all of those vowels without a false guess... Gotta love this game...
Granny, brandyjack is right. I've had to complain to the credit card company several times.....once for $1,000 to a roofing company who didn't do the work and the cr. cd. people got it back for me.....give them a call...I believe they will get your money back.
yes, jack, 2012.
and it was a visa card
i'm not asking for all the money back...either send newer stock, or refund for the 2 bottles out of date.
i think the distributor has been fed a line, so to speak, and it really isn't their fault. they are acting in good faith on what they have been told.
retail stores here know enough not to try and sell stuff past its expiry date unless its on a clearance rack, 'all sales final'. And foodstuffs will be marked down drastically the day before expiry, but will never be sold after the expirty. Liability is far too high...
time to walk the dog BBL
urshy, gi8, gi + egyptian sun god + bottom of shoe, remove last letter for gi7
sc8, part of a play( minus last letter) + first vowel + river in spanish? ( *** janeiro)
mo8, mo + wet weather + second vowel + pkural letter, and, yes mo7 is singular
thanks rose, awesome clues
why thanx berri, glad to be of help
jack, mate, if you think of anything else i could do, please let me know, via email.
berri, do you ahve the 2 x eu8
not yet, i haven't got very far yet
any words that start with a vowel scare me
okay, eu7, is a blessing, actually, eu + lump of firewood + 2 vowels, then extende the eu7 with another vowel, for eu8, and extend eu7 with plural letter for another eu8
* giggle * berri, any words that start with re, scare the bejesus outta me
thanks rose, have all the 8's now. Yay!
yay, indeed, berri
will leave you to paddle your own canoe, berri, lickety has a list, if and when you need one
thanks, am using it already. Love Lickety
* poof *
Thanks for all your help, grannyrose.
oh dear...have just been very thoroughly kissed by himself....i think there is enough time before dinner, if not, too bad, so sad. * grin * see y'all at the flip

She is a lovely girl, has she stopped breaking things .. I would imagine she has run out of limbs to break lol

lolo
may that trend of non-breakage continue for you all
Sorry didn't need the extra o
she is going for her first modelling contract on Wednesday... so she better not be broke!

did not know you operated a gas station kje.just finished with that type of business myself after 30 stinking years:)
to the streets of San Francisco and rice a roni!
I knew you had mentioned some of this, when we were discussing how you did not order a salad because of the questions, but I wasn't really putting it all together....
kje, you can meet my Sam...who has made me a bit irritated.
ok,that salad part lost me - lol
when do you go, red?
cross - I EAT at the gas station, I do not work there
I didn't. I chose against it, because he has had SEVERAL other people out to visit.
ahh,i see
: (
Plus now I have my fancy new "career" which means I will be in Florida, in my town for at least 10 years, unless i get fired.
on the other hand, every one wants to visit sf, red.... not sure how to interpret that
It would be in May. I have not said No yet, but in my mind I am a NO... but it is the people who are going out there...I felt like door number 3.
And since I m not moving...definitely no point in persuing that.
make him come see you first
Are you excited? THat is so neat!
KJE....We have a unit at my parent hospital a Neuro ICU which has had no central line infections for over 800 days. Is that not awesome?
excited, nervous, happy, freaked out... all over the place
that is awesome, red!
that shows it can be done
kje, you are oging to be great. will your friend out there help you find a roaccon free place???
I'll do craig's list
make sure to talk to geological engineers before you buy any real estate out there, kje
which system kje?
I won't buy for now lbd... will rent, prob forever
UCSF, clinical work at VA
i'd still talk to geo-engineers first. it's a real worry in the bay area. lots of unstable ground.
Woweee. The weather will be so much nicer than texas...
congratulations.
good advice, lbd, I'll keep it in mind
on the other hand, real estate there is so expensive I may just take what I can get ; )
Wow Babblers are doing some neat things. JMC is about to reveal her future plans as well...
31 remaining. need coffee...bbl to finish. check out some of the suburbs, you might find some nice tucked away place just right for you!
see you later, lbd
enjoy coffee.. I think I may head off for a morning nap...
I have my usual coffee and 2 mandarins here with me now... will need another cup of joe soon
our west coastal area has the most expensive real estate in canada
that area crossy is so beautiful...though I would not enjoy winter there.
P.E.I the cheapest
we are used to it here red.once it drops below minus 30,it is all the same:))
I think I would love vancouver...maybe my next move ; )
plug in the car,put more wood on the fire,thaw out the dog
very,very expensive in vancouver kje
yes I am not used to that any longer, though at one time I lived very close to the Canadian border in NY. It was cold.
Vancouver is a neat city.
they have some great museums.
a house in pei that costs 40 grand will cost 400 g,s out west
cheaper than SF.... but one pays for living in a cool place.... I will have to downsize
well, at least you hopefully will not have the racoons etc.
location,location,location as they say
lol,we had a black bear in the area last month...racoons are not a real estate concern here lol
send him my way, cross
morning all!
we just got everyone to put the garbage out correctly and stop feeding mr bruin
howdy suze
hi crossy, red, kje!
hello
coyotes are coming back here big time now though
first 2 letters of top i?
where my dad lives in New Jersey they were told they had to quit feeding birds, as the bird food attracts bears
maybe feed them to the bears...
ig 4
i have seen yearlings and cubs go after seed suze
hello everyone
howdy annie
hi crossy
ty, got it
youre welcome and congratulations (was reading back)
gm annie
hi annie!
hi sue and annie!
hi red, sue
and red, congratulatons on your new position
thanks Annie, I think kje has the cooler accomplishment!
I think you are both great
I imagine kje that there will be some great eateries....
with that i really am going to nap....
I think sf has the best of both worlds, red... city and minutes from nature
Frank lived there for 25 years, kje, so if you need any inside advice let me know
thanks sue
I have several friends from Baltimore who live there now
nice!
nbt (which is more than I got done yesterday, was pretty much under the weather)
go sue!
*viajes wanders in, bleary-eyed and un-coffeed* Good morning all.
morning, via
morning, Annie. *attempts to sip coffee, burns lip*
hi, viajes!
could use some coffee here too...
*gives sue coffee*
brekkies is being created got out the old jumbo waffle machine and cooked up some crisp bacon and crumbled it up and will be making belgian bacon waffles with preserves of canada light grade a syrup
oooh! I wish you told me that before I fried an egg! Now I won't be hungry for waffles!
or*
ooh, sounds good, crossy!
good morning!
any rh?
shockingly no, kje
got this old waffle machine from a defunct pancake house that was going out of business.only makes 2 at a time but each is the size of a standard softcover book and about as thick,the cooking surface is jet black from thousands of waffles and nothing sticks to it;)
howdy GE
sounds delish crossy. i'm munching on chocolate chip pancakes, a sunday morning staple in our house.
i may also try cheddar waffles after the bacon ones;)
mmm
yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
never had choc chip pancakes but sound good
hi, GE! How are you doing?
everything's better with cheese! LOL
hi sue. i'm okay thank you.
hospice called this week offering grief counseling. two of my sibs are going to do it. I really don't feel the need right now. I think i'm in a pretty good place. :)
we have a diner here that makes pineapple pancakes...yum
mango waffles at Viktor's three blocks from me!
good afternoon babble friends :)
howdy Sprite!
hey viajes! How's today's grid?
Good morning all
morning Bob
that is well GE and you have all of us to vent your spleen on if needed:)
howdy bob,sprite
hi crossy :)
loss affects all differntly to be sure
I like today's grid.
i liked it right up till half way:/
sounds good to me... doable with a bite :)
thanks crosshair. you are always a bright spot on the chat.
no problem GE
yesterday someone pointed me to the allrecipes.com website. It has this nifty option to switch between metric and US quantities. I have translated about 8 recipes already!
going to throw laundry in -- bbs (gotta get the machines before any neighbors wake up...)
bbs viajes
here sprite,we do a lot of kitchen measuring in volumes still and i am working hard to swich everything over to scaled weights
can I get a clue for in 5 please
hello Annie
makes a huge difference with dry measures
in Texas, migas is a word
hi sprite, how are you today?
am fine, Annie! Enjoying some me-time and translating recipes. And you?
hi rob, what does it mean?
Im doing okay, thanks
sure does, crossy
check your gun at the door?? lol
Annie: in + extremity
it's an egg dish, with tomatoes, chilis and tortilla chips
mmmm sounds yummy
thanks, sprite
yvw :)
not much of start on this grid but off to a soccer game at the chicago lakefront
then a trip to lincoln park zoo (between the raindrops perhaps)
Have a nice time, GE. Just read your profile, am so very sorry for your loss.
eu 7/40,8/55 and 8/55= all sound like a funeral speech but latined up at the end
sounds good, GE! Enjoy yourself!
and hi sprite, rob, and all!
hi uusue :) And thank you crossy.
hi all. thx crosshair!
thanks for those, crossy! nbs!
'morning, babblers and babblettes
hi welki :)
hi welki!
so now we have uusue and uuelki.
sounds exotic :)
sure does!
goooooood morning!
hi car
hi car!
hi car.ee!
hello again! turns out I got a free car wash last night
not bad
(can't say the word of course... PB)
nice, via! (unless it was from a torrential rain...)
ah, that kind. Yeah... PB :)
it was the gentle kind
oh, oops, maybe crossy has put some breakfast in there :-)
I liked when "word" was in the grid
if it is a crossy brekkie, I will post a word now and hop in the PB right away!
lol viajes! Yesteday it was POOF... I liked that too.
or when "grid" is in the grid, or "flip" (gets those on at midnight)
yes... but not poofier! I do not understand.
haha :D
or "hello" or "good" or "morning"
lol yes... and 'clue' and 'hint' are fun too.
one thing I learned from Babble: never try to understand enable. It is totally random. Fun to master though :D
the school babblet is back :D
thanks for that, sprite !
and I still get to complain every time it behaves irrationally
must run now, we are going to a gluten-free expo - hopefully Frank will find lots of new ideas and things he can eat!
yvw, uusue, and yes viajes, we can always complain pleasantly about it :)
ooh, have fun... I should send some of my friends there...
bye uusue, have loads of fun. I hope things will be tasty!
I was so certain ariole and arioli were words!
and now for crossy,s tdibit of the day!!
The area where Washington, D.C., now stands was originally a mosquito-infested swamp. It took years to drain and clear the land before our nation's government was moved to the city in 1800.
let's have it, dear crossy
so D.C. means Don't Camp?
and then the politicians would die of malaria and stuff
why did they drain DC when they had this huge country full of non-swamp?
viajes... they were politicians. Period.
that explains it! Hi all, Happy sunday
guess they wanted to keep all the blood sucking vermin on one spot
hi Aloy! To you too. Terra is out with the boss, all day canoeing and running through the grass and meeting other people and dogs.
sounds like a great day for man and beast alike!
we keep all of ours in ottawa.
oh yes. They will come home content, tired and utterly satisfied. And hungry!
that makes sense, crossy
hey ,if we give you guys the co-ods,would you fire off a few bunker busters in the parliment building for us?
lol, crossy.. just read your comment; obviously our founding fathers had no concept as to the value of wetlands...
if you would return the favour, crossy, sure
lol
garlic sauce word alert too
wish i knew the sauce
it is that one with all the vowels
yum - had some really good garlic mayo yesterday on a chicken club sandwich
and there's almost garlic, but not quite...
light bulb goes on.. ty sprite!
mmm
yummy welki!
yvw Aloy :D
a good Scrabble word, crossy.. vowel dump
have no idea sorry
ai5/10
ai5, crossy
tya+ morewords worked ty annie,sprite
never seen the word in my life
yvw crossy. I love that stuff.
no i must try and remember it
now
see you all later
tc annie
I love when you click on the question mark for a word and the dictionary tells you the word doesn't exist...
later Annie
bye Annie
bye Annie, have a good one
a coomon thing with enable
common
the dictionary that the ? refers to is rather limited. I recommend infoplease.com
problem with the question mark dictionary is it fires up internet explorer and about 20 search bars
yeah that too
explorer is browser non gratia round here
I am rather happy with chrome. I only wish Spybot would work for chrome.
i use ad-aware in conjunction with chrome
hm ok. Does ad-aware immunize as well?
Hi Pals
hi hego!
hi hego
hi hego!
well,the free version is limited.you will have to check it out in depth,i run firewalls so not much gets through without my permission
the question mark did not do any of that for me -- just opened the dictionary in a new tab
I was in firebox and recently switched to safari
: )
I have firewalls too. Can't be too careful nowadays :D
hi everyone
and if you stream lots of video,give the opera os and its turbo feature a try
hi cool :)
howdy cool girl
the first thing I saw was a phantom of my grandson Elijah
Hi Cool
hi cool
nice one hego
one more word to 30 and then break time
we call him eli, so he's in the grid
(by which I mean, actual work time)
wow good job. Still 67 left here!
I was on for an hour after the flip :D
:D
I can't wait to go to Europe so I can see the flip.
lol!
: )
flip for us is 01:00
ahh, silly me... an aerial apparatus I use twice a week, and I missed it until I listed! (the final li4 is the name for the hoop)
7 am here... quite a nice time.
Not kidding Sprite, I will be in Italy in May.
Me too Crossy.
lucky you!
I want to go back to ITaly
lovely, hego!
I will see it for the first time.
which cities?
I want to go back to Italy too
the flip, not Italy. lol
:D
where will you be in Italy Hego?
Umbria
In the center
Like Tuscany, but less crowded
we might go to north italy this summer, renting a house from a friend. And I will go to rubyfoo somewhere this spring, if all goes as planned, and that is close to italy as well.
cool :) I only went to Rome and Venice. Very crowded both.
okay, bbl all
I would love to go see Ruby.
Bye Viajes
contact her. I bet she will love to see you.
bye viajes
bye viajes
She would, it's just the getting there. lol
Cirque de so5/12
Sprite, where are you going in Italy?
darn crossy, you made me enter it
ha6 and Gretel works
somewhere in the North, I don't know exactly. My husband mentioned it yesterday.
nice one, Aloy :)
Europeans are so lucky in that way.
ty crossy
np:)
So many great places, so close.
why is that, hego?
lol... true. But don't you have many great places in each state as well?
but the culture is always the same
ah, the cirque works if you drop the last letter.
USA is USA. lol
yeah, I can see how that would be the case. It is true that we don't have to go far to see a totally different culture.
you can be in Paris in no time...sigh....
afternoon all
i get that when i chat with my uncle in the u.k.he will say something like"we are off to span for the weekend" i go "spain?? for the weekend?!!" that all the distances gell in my mind
Hi Kazzer
only 3 hours from here, Paris, by train. 4 hours by car. That is local for you guys!
hi Kazzer :)
true Sprite
lol,i had a job where i drove almost 3 hours each way sprite:))
wish I could go to Spain for the weekend.
lol indeed crossy
we all do hego
and.. the fast trains .. you all are so lucky to have them
omg... 3 hours single trip? That is awful. That does not leave you any free time at all!
quite a commute Crossy
did not last long,trust me
brb, refill time
hi again all!
wb suze!
I am thinking of taking the train to ruby. It would be one fast train to Paris and one to errrr... that big city near her in Italy, I think. Only problem is going to the other side of Paris. But I remember that the metro is incredibly good and clear there.
wb uusue
if you can afford to travel hero - stuff is ridiculously expensive - diesel is about $10.73 a gallon
Hi Elusive Sue
longest commute I had was an hour and 15 minutes each way (with good weather and no traffic), did that for two years
hi hego!!
Paris metro is great
that is hard for me to recalculate... dollars and gallons. We pay about 1.50 a litre here.
we are $1.36 a litre here now
euro, that is
ouch
Kazzer really!!
it is, isn't it, hego? I remember that. Having a very simple plan and hopping on and off metros until you get where you want to be.
Ruby lives near Annecy, France, sprite
thats what I worked it out on - we are paying £1.489 per litre
which is a beautiful town - I have been there, but way before Babble
That is a lot Kazzer!
thanks uusue. If that is so ne4, I bet we will go visit it when I am visiting.
that is so expensive, Kazz! Jeez.
ha6/21= a old cab/carriage.sherlock homes will have used one
we are hoping to be able to afford to go to Paris next year. My hubby travels 190 miles every day to work and back
let me know when you go sprite
ouch that is a lot of miles.
hego: will do!
ty Crossy
hego, could you pls send me an email? I don't think I have your addy. Mine is in my profile.
they have those carriages in Central Park
Mine is in my profile also
ha6/24, corssy...
ooops! crossy. :o)
:)
Hmm.. I thought I put it there.
I can't find it there, hego
OK.....trying again....gooooood morning!
will do sprite, send it to you.
wb car.ee :)
i have 35 left and have come to grinding halt - might go and start dinner and then try later - the monkeys have done far too much gardeining
Hi Car
thanks hego!
Hi Car!
Hello!
ha 5/12=ha+ spanish cheer
howdy car
bye for now, Kazz. Have fun cooking.
hi car, molly, kazz!
hello Molly
Bye Kazz!
morning Car - afternoon here - just put up a plastic green house and waiting for the wind to blow it away
sprite, Annecy is also not all that far from Geneva (maybe a 40 minute drive) - I lived in Geneva for a while...
Oh no! I hope the winds will be gentle!
that is the one, uusue, thank you! Ruby said it was easy to pick me up from Geneva and that is where the fast train goes.
or maybe there is a local bus or train from Geneva to Annecy, that might be good too.
sounds fun
lol Kazzer. I hope it holds.
Unfortunately I don't remember, sprite, it was easy to take trains and buses around Switzerland but crossing the border got more complicated; I generally rented a car for trips like that
hope it holds too, Kazzer.. good for starting all your veggies, etc
time to rest the eyes for a bit.will be back for the other half in a bit...poink!
Hey all, on my ipad so typos likely...
will figure it out, uusue, I like travelling and will have fun while underway. Ruby will be able to help with local info as well, I think. Thanks for helping!
hi sue, guess I missed Kazzer.. hi stid!
Hi Stiddy
bye crossy *hugs* Dream of Elegance.
hi stid and bye crossy!
hi aloy!
email now in profile
Hi all
bye Crossy
Hi Denny
STIDDIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! * HUGGLES* Hi dear, how are you?
hi Denny. Thanks hego.
Sue, am I right that Majorana fermions are the self-destructing ones that if they touch another they self-annihilate?
I like traveling too, sprite - I think that makes it all much easier! (since there are always glitches)
waves to crossy.. miss a lot of chat while away for just a bit
hi denny!
Spritely, dear!
that is true, stid. Any particle will annihilate if it encounters its own anti-particle. There are already some known particles that are their own antiparticles but they are all bosons, not fermions (a distinction that takes a little more time to explain)
that is true, stid. Any particle will annihilate if it encounters its own anti-particle. There are already some known particles that are their own antiparticles but they are all bosons, not fermions (a distinction that takes a little more time to explain)
I don't like traveling, but I love museums and gardens and seeing friends...
and you didn't need that twice. Sorry! :-)
i love it when she talks nuclear.
indeed uusue :) Glitches are unavoidable. Solving them is part of the fun... it is when you meet the nicest people.
she is SO hot, that uusue.
lol
lol, sprite!
It's good, sue, thanks! I was trying to find a term I didn't know for my poems yesterday, and even after reading the explanations I was still shaky! LOL. So why don't we always have little explosions going off?
The i's are making me sad :9
We do, stid, it's just that they're SO little we don't usually notice them
poor car
I should get up and head into town to pick up Matthew. He's dog sitting, and hasn't been home to clean his turtule tank in two weeks...
Is that what caused that pain in my head......
Hello my friends
scrabs!!!!
{{{scrabs}}}
added you to my address book, hego. Will email when I know the data.
but anyway now I am off, there is a gluten-free expo in Chicago - maybe Frank can find some cool new foods!
Ah! Okay Sue!
hi Scrabbs! good to see you (( ))
oh, scrabs, hi, so good to see you!!!
I have missed you so much and have been lurking
Scrabs! *hugs* Big *hugs* How are you doing?
Scrabs. *hugs x 1000*
Have fun Sue!
So good to see you ((((hugs)))).
((((scrabs)))))
Hi Scrabbler and Stid
and bfn, uusue, enjoy.
bye sue
we love you and miss you and wish we could be useful to you
I have been in a daze since Apr 4th, questioning reality, as expected
what stiddie said
Bye sue! And anks
shock Scras
you know that
Scrabs...as feeble as this may sound...is there anything, no matter how small, I/we can do for you?
Are you eating well, cousin?
Yes, but already my head is in a better place.
Scrabs, very sorry to hear about your Dad.
Hardest for me in big losses has been nourishing myself with quality foods.
good
My appetite has decreased and I lost 3-4 lbs, but that is good.
*more hugs*
Except for the first few nights, when I replayed that video of his death/CPR, I have actually been sleeping well.
Nice to have you back for a bit.
glad you have been sleeping again
that is a good thing. You are such a strong woman, Scrabs.
I have been here everyday, for the relaxation + mindlessness of finding words, but not ready to chat til today
Please do remember to take care of you.
we totally understand
Matthew was very sad to hear the news, of course, and his first thouht was how to show you his love.
we sure understand. Glad to have you with us, chatting or not.
I can sit and just be quiet with you if you want.
Matt sent a few messages.
what Sprite said
{{matt}}
hello again
Hi kje!
hi kje
hi kje!
Hey kje
hi kje :)
I have to go get said offspring now, but glad you came in before I left. Sprite, aloyisius, all -- see you soon. *more hugs*. *poof*

Bye Stid

My sisters and I finished my parents' taxes on Fri, now have to pay $

always so much to take care of :(
ugh
that stinks
the paperwork keeps your mind busy, though.
We all made a lot of progress with financial issues this past week--taxes, bills, the will, the estate attorney, cancelling Dad's cell phone, etc.
Finally! NBT!
I don't believe the second ha5.12 exists
that is true
yay Car
I am so glad that you have help and that you are all doing it together.
A mistake on Lickety's list, Aloy, or elusive?
Aloy: because it is a weird word or because you cannot find it? I can clue if you want.
yes, it is a daunting task by yourself.. very elusive.. oh yes, sprite.. help welcome
good job car.ee
ha + spanish cheer, Aloy
I have 2 ha 5/12...are there more?

Hawaiian word!
holy cow.. the white man! tyvm, sprite

that word is not in my Scrabble dictionary even, but I knew it from earlier grids.. just couldn't see it
Aloy, you meant 3 ha5's or 3 words left for you?
looking up instead of down.. 24 left here, Scrabbs
3 x ha5/12
That makes 2 Hawaiian words in this grid so far!!!!
and I only have 1 ha5 - the hawaiian one
brings Fran and FMitch to the front of my mind
Not aloha

*aflac*aflac*
oh, reminds me... saw the movie Hunger Games yesterday... very well done!
: D
Hego...is that a good movie or does it just pull at your heart strings the whole time?
I actually enjoyed it and only jumped under my seat once
no, it was good.
Ok. I may give it a try then.
Just a little sappy at the end.
saw previews for Johnny Depp (drool) movies
Yummmmmm!
drooool
Picking up kadresa shortly...will tell her of the drool fest....

You know, I don't think I would ever sleep if I dated that man. I would just sit there and watch him sleep and breath all night long....SIGH.....
Yep, when you are in line to get JD's signature Car is going to cut you off
[....alllowing Babblers to fill in their own comments of me being with JD all night...}

I didn't think it was accepted
I do, kje! I horrified my sister when that deliveryman was approaching the house.
in Italian and spanish
Scrabs does it anyway, hego
Listen to Scrabbler.
she seems so proper and nice too.
Nekkid is beautiful
lol ! put some key lime pie in the PB
girls gone wild!!
Here is the full story: youngest sis was here with me for the last week. I had had a hotflash so tucked my shirt under the girls but walked to the window as the deliveryman neared. She screamed, "Your belly, your belly!"
awwwww LOL. So innocent.
I wasn't even naked.
not too bad, really
posted "lol" put it didn't show in chog.. lol again!
maybe you forgot to hit control...
I do skinny dip when kayaking, but that is my way to become one with nature. I have put on a few shows.
hi6?
hi + she loves he****f.
nature girl
sounds pretty normal to me, Scrabs!
She loves what, sprite?

I agree, Sprite.

Bye Scrabs. good to see you.
ttfn, Scrabbs, so glad you joined in!

Boyo and I have been out all weekend. Went to an Earth Cay celebration yesterday and walked around the lake today. It'
and i only have one of the eu8
It's too pretty to be inside.
both eu8/55,s are sounding like the funeral speech but latined up along with eu 7/40
nice
i wish but tax season waits for no person
and now i have both eu8, thx crossy
at least i have my screen door open to the back yard
The Earth Day celebration was out in rural Maryland. It's gorgeous out there. And the air is definitely better.
the mo 7/32 and 8/45 are the glacial debris field left on land
:-) but my memory is that earth day is april 20 no?
maybe 21?
are those violets from your yard molls?
I think it's April 22. This was an early celebration based on the organization's ability to host it on said property.
The violets are from a friend's yard.
Sunday, April 22
Hi all. jmc - Earth Day is on 22nd April (my birthday).
howdy jacula
that's right. . . i was close
good choice if it was a nice celebration
Hi crossy.
hi jac
haha i actually have it on my calendar . . . but I have a paper due that week so we will see if i gets to celebrate properly
Hi Jac
okay i increase that possibility by working today . . .sigh bbl maybe
And what is on the docket for Jac's birthday? Hoopla and merriment I hope.
Hi Molly. Nothing that I know of.
45 words to go and this grid doesn't want to give me any of them.:-(
Well then, we will just have to have a knock down, play the music loud, party in Babbleland. *Makes party preparations*
Sorry to cut and run. Dinner's nearly ready. BBL.
hello! what are we having, Molly? Will there be dancing?
I was thinking open bar, hot appetizer buffet and yes, lots of dancing.
sounds good to me
is that only in the penalty box, or the whole babbleverse?
Anywhere, everywhere. I throw great parties. I should have been a caterer.
why can't you still be one, Molly or a party planner?
or an event planner?
ha5 first and second pls?
ha5 first...almost all of Gretel's brother
ha5 second...ha + Spanish cheer
ty
ty x2
Peri, it's something that you need some investment capital to do the way I would want to, and I have none of that.
any clues for the i's, i don't have any
Shirl, one is a four letter misspelling of Eskimo home.
just a thought, it sounds like something you would like to do and you would be good at it. there must be ways to get some money to get you started. I would give you some if I had any extra
that's a silly word, thx molly
Peri you are so sweet. We need more people like you in the world. : )
awww, thanks, Molls
fw!
yay viajes
Well done Via
clues for all! clues for all! come and get 'em!
and then we start the party
a party?
will there be cabana boys?
you'll have to ask Molly; she is organizing
and jello shots?
Jac's birthday is April 22, we were pre-planning. And yes, Cabana boys and jello shooters.
ok then,I will be there with bells on
oh so that's a week away! I have time to get rested up and ready...
oh plz peri wear more than bells!
Oh, highlight of the party. Peri, wearing only bells. : P
I will ivesey, just a figure of speech :)
not a chance, Molly
:)
well I'm off to do... stuff. Not sure what yet. maybe see people at flip time.
twas a joke peri, pretty sure u would wear more than bells lol
what if it's just one really big bell?
like a big bell dress?
that would work viajes
oh yes that would work... with a ringer on it
it might get heavy
okay, have fun/good luck/etc *poof*
And then we will play ♪ You can ring my bell-ell-ell, ring my bell ♫
lol good one molly
HAHAHA, Molly
bbl, don't talk about me when I am not here :)
hi everyone...new to the game gl to all:)
hi alta
welcome
Hi Alta, welcome
snap molly!
Hego, we are kindreds.
ty for ww:)
yup

Hello all. Is it just me or ithis a misery of a grid?
a little tough
and a special Hi to Altagolf
ty bug
Hi Bugs. Lots of odd words and a few twisty ones.
not simple words today, for sure, bugs
just a little Hego? Perhaps I need to leave and come back. getting anywhere close to halfway is annoying
twisty ones --- good clue thanks
no, I agree
very circular
oh good! Thought this may be the 1 only time I ever play...nice to know this grid is harder than some!
Hi Karen! :)
And whoever is here.
hey Neil:)
Hi Neil
who are you outing?
Oh no Karen... you must become a regular.
Hi hego. :)
You must come back Alta. Most grids are more fun but we clue each other sometimes and that helps find words we are blind to
oh, I'm sure I will!
alta, do you know about the clues?
nope, altho I did see the chat about a misspelling of an eskimo dwelling? still cant see that word lol
it's ig 4,6
Altagolfnut [Karen] is alohablue [Blue]'s sister, btw. :)
I'll fill her in, hego... we're on IM together.
she plays here????
but I meant, if you click on Lickety's babble clues below, you will get a lot of help.
okay neil
oh TY! I see it
yw
Haha, yes Karen... or she did. I think she's given up though.
Yeah. I've just explained the Lickety's list and how to read the stats/clues, etc. to her, hego.
We're in an MSN chat.
good work
The least I could do, hego... I'm responsible for her ending up here, lol.
Yep. It's all my fault.
please, I did itto my daughter!
hooking your own kid.
lol
Haha. I'm working on my dad. He's a real word nerd too.
fun when we play together.
He and I play Scrabble together... online and off.
Yep. What's her player name on here?
shannybananny
but only on weekends usually
Oh wow. Never seen that.
awful, isn't it. lol
Huh?
The name? Not really. I've seen much worse.
the name
Not on here... but on other games sites? Man.
You wouldn't believe the IDs some people use. I'm amazed they want to be known by them!
true
apparently I need to hone up on words beginning with vowels!
I am terrible at vowel words
especially a words
i save them for last
a vowel a phobe
se7?
a good word shirl
lol hego you are aphobic!
builds
starts with the ocean and ends with the gi4
yes, alta, i am
got it, thx hego
good! yw
I save the re words for last. I often end up going down the list I have and put re in front of them. It takes forever but works
Oh yeah, Bugsaw... those can be "fun".
Can I have a clue for the ha5 after the ha6/24 please?
And it's true... most of them are like that.
and you get some clues in the meanwhile. lol
ha + a h*** in the wall, Kenny.
ha + mexican hurrqy
Or what hego said... a much better clue.
aw shucks, ty
i meant hurray
What is a hurrqy?
Oh!
Haha. You have to become adept at deciphering typonese in here sometimes. ;)
But I make enough typos myself.
lol
right Neil
Thanks hego
the mind is faster than the fingers
yw Kenny
Tell me about it hego.
Although my fingers are pretty fast too.
They just overlap sometimes. lol
: )
gi7?
hanse
oops
good shirl. lol
gi7 is italian for sunflower
lol, spanish and italian huh...I'm doomed!!!! I speak canadian eh? :)
thx hego
starts with gi + 2nd musical note + bottom of oot
don't understand why some foreign words allowed and others not
you got that! great!
bottom of foot
googled hego. google knows everything :)
lolol
I was going to clue you further.
Alta toque is often here and the Americans have trouble with it. The Australians are lost. lol
lol
I don't, Bugsaw... I'll have you know.
I always see toque if it's in a grid.
yep, I've come across toque many times in other word games!
foodies like me love toque
And I'm Californian... go figure? lol
You eat winter hats, hego? Wow. That's some appetite.
where in Canada bug?
Vancouver Island
no the chef hat, silly
Is that the second musical note in Italian??
lol Molly
I love that gi word because it literally means turn to the sun.
No, seriously, it's re the way I know it.
which is what sunflowers do.
Oh! Molly, you're right.
oh, so pretty there!!!! spent some time in Gold River years ago and visited folks last year in Ladysmith
I'm not being nit picky, I really thought it was the Italian version.
I'll shut up now : }
And no need to shut up.
no, just a mistake
I'll use the sun god next time.
Haha. I know but I just had to tease you about that, hego. ;) Too tempting.
funny
ok, I need to take a break, and come back to it later! I'm stumped for the moment:) good luck all!
bye alta
my monkeys sure are getting a workout on this one

duh thanks so much :)
it's the light reflected by an opal nan
oh - wondered if it was a special colour
Haha, ru. Did you see that profile on Weboggle yet? If so scroll to the GOP Debate section... read the drinking game rules there. You'll laugh.
lol the republican state convention in colorado was a mess... santorum delegates would not yeild to romney
wow.. i didn't know a section existed
on my way -- have had more than enough of US politics for a while :)
me too nan
Well, that was a chat killer.
nothing like a republican to shut everyone up..lol
lol wow
I never knew how much people in other countries don't like the US until I started playing this game.
its sad our reputation is shot to hell
well.. we are sort of universally hated molly
we tend to stick our nose into business that isn't ours
we like to start wars at a moment's notice...
and occasionally elected real dumbshits to office
Why do other people hate us. It's just our politicians.
but its the politicians that are representative of us
I don't really blame them --- if the President bombed the crap out of their country and killed innocents ....
I did vote for Obama, but certainly not for the Bushies
the world loved President Clinton though
well -- most of them anyway lol
And, the Europeans were very optimistic about Obama
ok i cant monkey the first gl4 ehlp? :P

evening all
noswaith dda, glantarell!
just windering why, if some people are gormless, we can't have gorm?
we have daffodils EVERYWHERE in the yard right now, so pretty -- are they still blooming where you are?
noswaith dda Stidmama
Daffodils are still flowering, so are the wood anemones, and the bluebells are just beginning
I went for a long hilly walk this orning and saw them all!
yes, the "grape hyacinths" which is what I think you mean by bluebells -- similar family, I am sure -- are just about to burst into color, too. :-)
We have been working in the garden! I will go take pictures in a few minutes with Tom and get those up tonight. I have done about three things today on my list of 20. *sigh*
different plant to grape hyacinths, similar to Spanish bells, but smaller and more delicate - they live in the woods and are beautiful
oh, I know the ones you mean, I think -- I have a book of English gardens, and there is one picture where the ground is covered in them.
top flower on this webpage - http://tinyurl.com/c6pjxsx
At this point in my garden the plants that are here are the ones that are pretty durable... LOL the tulips are nonexistent now *sigh*
yes! that's the one I remember seeing.
they are never alone, often whole hillsides are covered in them - it's stunning when you see that. They are a woodland plant, so when you see them on a bare hillside, it is an indication that the hollside was wooded once
I don't know what the garden is going to look like this year with the drought we are having. april is half over and we've only had .15" of rain
wow, that is really dry
we have some similar plants, here. In our yard, since we kept the back mostly wooded (third growth) we have many of the lovely native woods-dwellers, but the front yard we have the rare (for this area) margin plants and prairie plants
whereabouts are you Bichon?
it was 70 yesterday. its snowing today. will be 70 tomorrow. gotta love Colorado
bichon, I was reading about the drought just yesterday. A whole huge area of the U.S. is going to be in a lot of trouble, I fear.
I saw the remains of snow high in the hills today - took me by surprise
Last year was the rainiest year on record for Connecticut. Now we've only had 6" in the first 3 and 1/2"
it hasnt rained here in months
What part of Co are you in cos.?
colorado springs
That's pretty dry anyhow, right?
thus the cos part of my name :)
I read a sci-fi book about 20 years ago and it wove water wars inoto the plot - was discussing the aquifers in the US and how valuable water would be in the future
there is a lot of snow here still -- and occasionally a little more gets laid down. But last year was very dry.
We hardly got any snow here at all. Especially compared to last winter.
water is so important to our agricultural regions.
we didn't have snow this winter - other than a few flakes here and there - not that we often have more than an inch or two, which only stays for a few days
Unfortunately the aquifers in many places are depleted because of overpopulation... and the peculiar need Americans seem to have for green lawns everywhere.
isn't that because of the gulf stream waters, glantarell? I know Ireland stays warm because of that current.
Here in the UK, they are starting to pump water form one area into another - but we are a much more compact country so it is possible to do that - only sending it 50 miles or so
But we get lots of snow. This year we got a snowstorm in Oct. That knocked out the power for days as the leaves were still on the trees. Then hardly anything
golf courses are the thirstiest, lawns next
I hardly ever water. Maybe stuff in pots. The rest of it, if it rains...
My neighbor waters everything every day. Even if it's rained.
most of the south eastern quarter of England is currently under a hose pipe ban - never heard of one this early in the year, if they happen it;s usually late July or August
the Colorado River doesn't even reach the sea any more, it's so sad -- and a good bit of California is maintained by "borrowed" water in the same way Las Vegas is.
here in Wales we are unlikely to even need a hosepipe ban - I live about 6 miles form the wettest town in Europe LOL - 27 inches a year
I try to plant things that are semi-drought hardy once established -- our summers tend to be very dry. And then I hand-water or use irrigation hoses with emitters for the rest.
wow, you must have moss between your toes like we do!
omg theres a cat on ripley eating with chopsticks!
I only water the plants in pots - and then only if it's been a sunny warm or hot day
very mossy here LOL
Cos, back away from Ripley.
yep. careful planting, so the tall summer annuals shade the less sun-tolerant perennials whenever possible.
LOL Molly!
lol and the lady said she will not share her training secrets
WOW. down to 77. How did that happen?
The sun is out, and I am going to get those pictures. They'll be up on my blog this evening, Glantarell. **hugs and choclits for all** *poof*
the first ha5 please?
... ha 5/12
... gretel's brother minus the "l"
ha5,12 -- most of Gretel's brother's name.
TY dose
isnt that the ha6?
Oh, doseffing beat me to that I see. :P
ah neverm ind :)
... the brother is ha6
No. MOST of the name.
Haha.
wonders what the url for Stidmamas blog is....
Hi Glantarell.
Hi Neil, long time no see
Yep. Been pretty busy.
Me too LOL - moved house
Kind of hard to find without directions, isn't it Glant?
Yes Molly - and it's not in Stid's profile
hi and bye again all - back from the gluten free expo with LOTS of free food, and off to rehearsal!
I have decided this grid is hideous and I think I'm about to abandon it
I guess she just assumed you were a blog follower or a Facebook type person.
Hi Sue - and I would love to go to a gluten free expor - my friend is gluten free
stid's blog is www.stidmama.com
<---Gets whiplash from the drive by posting
I am very much a facebook person but have no idea what her facebook contat details are either (or any other Babblers for that matter)
Frank has celiac disease, glant, so we are always on the lookout for new gluten free products - the expo was huge and there were loads of things to try!
Thanks Sue
ha6/24?
but must run now, friend will be by shortly - see you all later!!
Sue, I have the most amaziong lemon drizzle cake recipe with no gluten
missed her
well I made it over hafl way. the grid is not that fun, it is true. I am struggling particularly with the J. all i have is prison.
... a type of london cab that shirlock holmes was always getting into ... ...
... or a good looking guy without the final e
i was reading an interesting article -- some doctors say the no gluten thing is just a fad.. kinda weird.. i know some people who csannot have gluten so idk that was weird
thanks does :)
I think for some people it's a very real thing, and other people just jump on the bandwagon. Gluten free is trendy right now. Just like lactose intolerant used to be.
Ahhh doseffing is giving clues for the H. I thought it was a J.
thats pretty much what the article said :)
ja6/7 build on the ja4,red. prison warden(s)
thanks Peri. I always thought that one had a E in it.
I did too, think it can be spelled both ways
I guess so!
Someone at work told me they were on a gluten free diet. I asked them if they had Celiac Disease, and they said no, they just wanted to try it.
speaking of spelling two ways, the second ji4 is something I've alwayus spelt dj---
the second ji os a pl
I would not want to go gluten free, it's very hard to eat away from home.
My friend has coeliac disease - if she has any gluten she is ill for days and days
rice and salads Red
and fruit - pretty healthy really!
It's also very expensive to buy gluten free products. I have no idea why someone would opt for it if they didn't need to.
agreed molly... esepcially with the economy
gluten free products mostly taste like cardboard in my opinion LOL
It's really hard though when you go out to eat...things have wheat hidden in them in a variety of ways. You can eat healthy without going gluten free.
My gluten free cakes use ground rice
We got gluten free cookies in the hospital cafeteria. The docs (who get free food) got a few (they were 4.00 each!!!) and they were really terrible...
BUT, I had a carrot ginger soup the other day that was gluten free and Awesome!
and of course you can make great brownies without flour
I think pretty much every soup I make is gluten free LOL but I know commercial soups are thickened with flour
I'd pass on baked goods if I had to go gluten free. I've had some, and I agree, they don't taste very good.
well, i was hoping to get half way on this grid, but it's after 11 and I have work tomorrow, so I think I'm going to call it a day at 92 wrods - happy babbling all, and maybe see you tomorrow
*poof*
By Glant
se6 pls
sorry Peri, I dont have it.
I am looking at morewords but not seeing it
... think "older"
hi any clues out there for the 8s? i am finding this grid so difficult.
... being of such an age I get a S6 ticket at the movies
without any endings like ing, ed, etc. tough grid
... eu7 ... a funeral speech ... eu8 x 2 ... latin plural and english plural
wow. great clue. i got it and hope all do
duh, and I do too dose, thanks
got three words for the eu clue. ty.
... sc8/50 ... a plan for an activity ... although you should provide for several things possibly happening each with their own sc8
keep thouse clues coming!
not getting sc at all.
schedule is all i can think.............
... mo7/8 ... the hilly terrain left over after a glacier retreats ... and plural
ahhh finally got the sc8
sc8 is like.... potiential situations maybe?
...think of movies as a starting point ... each shot is from a different sc5 (not in the grid) ... and build from there
cos i still dont get them.
no luck for sc words............darn.
an outline of a plot of a play, sc8
ty. got it finally.
yay wtg :) it was bugging me for a while too
from the sc 8 there are others? how many more?
sc5 and sc8 only for sc words
... there's gi7/8
ty cos.
hi all
doseffing would love a clue for gi 7
... I was afraid of that
first letters of long neck animal + another word for sun
gi 8 : first 4 letters of long neck animal + heel of ur shoe
... both have the same first four letters ... first part of a "young female" ... then a vowel ... ... then the 7 ends with the latin of sun ... ... and the 8 ends with the bottom of your shoe
almost similar clues as I gave --- nice :)
... often happens with the hard ones when you haven't the foggiest idea of what they are
ty got the 8 and 7. it is the other part of your shoe, not your heel but your ****!
great clues from cos and dos! ty
any i word clues? dont have any i words.
i see we have the death defining duo of dose and peri
... ig4 ... mispelling of inuit ice house
... in5 ... in + what your hand is attached to
/// in6 ... in plus the bottom of your shoe again
thanks for the in5
... I often get into clueing mode when I'm stuck on some other word myself ...
ha5/12 aftet the cab?
Hi jmc. :)
hi negative
?
hi neil
:)
... ha5 ... funny then spanish cheer
haha you were the one who picked the moniker
thanks does :)
I'm not really so negative... it's a joke, to do with my blogging.
i was just gonna say the same thing jmc :)
Oh I'll send you something that explains it better.
well you can ask dr god to change it
Well no... it's my online name I use everywhere.
ah well then you can't be surprised if people greet you that way. . . but i usually use neil
Ha. Well no... but you have been calling me by my first name until now, so it seemed wierd. That's all. ;)
oh okay just a slip of the fingers
Check email, jmc.
okay
the 3rd hi4 please?
... h ... not out
ah thanks.. wrong H i was looking at
... and the monkeys find the other or6! ... yeah ... always frustrating not being able to find a word that no one has clued ... does that mean that everybody is getting it but me ... ... oh well ... must run for dinner ... 'til tomorrow ...
bye dose

Take care, jmc... don't work too hard!

neil i emailed u back!
sorry cos. I have none of them...only a hi 4.
thanks anyway :)
got em!
both are anagrams of each other
yeah, I went to more words. I probably shoudl get the list ifI am going to start pulling up more words.
lol that may be easier than searching on morewords :)
well I found it....only 45 words....
lol yes.. i was actually typing that on my FB status... that there's just 45 hi6 words in the english langguage
I know, you and I have been talking back and forth on FB for the last few minutes...
LOL !!
oh duh! i knew that LOL im tired
long weekend :)
Its OK, I admit, I now have a policy that I do not friend most babble people, so you and I probably have a fairly low "friends in common list"
oooh down to 82...
Did you have fun Cos? I guess you probably did!!!! Plus I hope it was interesting.
Ok Cos is gone, sorry Cos.
back sorry
had to feed the animals
I did have fun --- 1,444 Democrats ---- in one room. It wasn ice lol
I can not even imagine. At work- well- in the area I used to work, we called ourselves the "Silent Majority" because there were some rather loud unsilent minorities...
It was nice for me. I live in one of the most conservative counties in the nation (top 5) -- so to be surrounded by Dems was a nice change.
yes, I would agree. DC seain had a link up about how election machines the electronic ones can be rigged....so depressing.
i know --- saw that too. I try to vote paper ballots always.
we do have paper ballots, but they are scanned....
thats troublesome too.... its disturbing. and the electronic ballots are owned by conservative companies.
My dem vote will probably not count, but I like to do it anyway. The link from DC explains to me entirely how Rick Scott was elected Govoner of our state. We hate him, everyone, conservatives too.
Don't get me started!
the florida democratic state party is one of the most inept state parties in the nation.
I have been smacked here for getting political.
the dems should have endorsed charlie crist and not kendrick meeks
kap: there is no written babble rules right? :) so... feel free.
Free! Yes, freedom!
Charlie Crist was not running for Governor.
i know i was talking about the senate race
You are thinking about the senate race...
alex sink was the dem for the governors race :)
Kendrick Meeks did not really have a chance. and Alex Sink had some issues, though I did vote for her.
I got my "new" Kaplan book- I hadn't known that Rosten added to his stories in the 1970s. I'm in Kaplan heaven.
shes likely to run again 2014.
K*A*P*L*A*N says the opposite of "Dismay" is...next June!
Well, A democrat in Florida...not the usual.
<--confused now :P
Today's republicans make George Wallace look like a liberal.
The opposit of "inhale" is "dead."
they make ronald reagan look good.
I am mixing topics.
the buffet rule? endorsed by reagan.
I can tell. its ok, there are no chat rules.
Yeah, that and a ton of makeup.
obama said the other day "we really should call it the reagan rule instead" LOL
Can I admit that I find my new Job so fascinating that I have been checking in remotely to the hospital surveillance system ALL day long.
I have wasted a beautifull weekend trying to figure out how to send open studio announcements on Flicker or windows live mail.
brb dog needs to go outside
I still can't link it to Facebook.
Back in the old days, a bunch of postcards and an ink pen would have been fine.
I dont know how to do that myself Kap, can you utube it? I Utube a lot of stuff like that.
I really need to unplug.
If I you-tubed it, anyone who watches would screw up like I did.
I think postcards are still Ok, but darn it costs a lot ot send them...
I should have asked any third grader to do it for me.
I mean you look for instructions on Utube.
Oh- duh.
Have you seen the youtubes that some kids did about inserting a tampon?
They promise detailed instructions on video,
and then one of them inserts it
in her nose
Kids!
well...we do use nasal tampons in the Emergency Dept to stop severe nosebleeds, and they are called nasal tampons!
Oh. That kills that joke.
Is the Buffet Rule that you are only allowed to fill your plate once?
Is it like the Smorgasbord Rule
Oooooh funny.
about the buffet rule.
Phantom Elijah.
I guess Elijah is always a phantom.
I am struggling with the end of the grid...79 left and I see NOTHING...
About that Buffet rule...you can quote me.
I have 105 left and am in tears.
back lol.. no the buffet rule is.. warren buffet donated some of his income to pay off the debt..
rbut the idea actually came from ronnie reagan...
I just have to stop checking the surveillance system. Since I dont have the other piece set up remotely I can not do anything about it till morning....so I need to STOP....
surviellance?
We have a program that flags certain types of infections...I then notify the health departments, the nurses (who should already know I hope) and the National Health and Safety Network...after I work some of the cases up and determine what they are really caused by.... It is interesting but...
I do not work on Sundays.
neither does God apparently :P
I just feel very responsible.
thats a good quality to have but u need to enjoy urself too sometimes
Well I did have a good weekend, and thank goodness it is a small hospital...
that helps! i have to go out of town again next weekend
then agaun the weekend after.. then again the weekend after that UGH
now that is no fun. I am not a fan of travel, I try but...
i like travel if its fun and i ahve a nice cozy hotel but not the case for these weekends...
training and training.. and training for the campaign coming up
glad youa re working on it Cos.
well one of the weekends isnt training... im partcipating in the national march for women's right
On behalf of the female population, thank you cos!
yvw :)
but to me -- its a given i mean... its ridiculous what people are doing... takling about concraception? birth control? you know in Arizona.. the Governor there signed a law... a baby is now considered a baby TWO WEEKS BEFORE the act of making a baby takes place
so... the baby is a baby even when it doesnt exist now.
Hi Mag mom... and yes Cos, that stuff is just strange.
hi mag btw!
I have a suspicion lots of other stuff is going on in D.C. and that the bizarre stuff is distracting us...and all sorts of wierd things are being passed without any fanfare.
hm. thats.... very interesting theory.... you could be right. now im worried
Cos....you should read "Lab 257" and learn about Plum Island Animal ResearchCenter in long Island.
leme write that down
is it a book or article
The author ties the Initial outbreak of Lyme disease, very convincingly to the bad conditions at the research center....and no one even knows that there is essentially a Class 4 lab within ferry ride to NY or CT.
It is a pretty short book.
short - long doesnt matter :) is it available on the kindle?
Apparently someone thought it wise to put this sort of lab right in the regular hurricane path too, so samples of ...anthrax, Lassa fever etc.
Dunno Let me see.
Hey red, cos! Sorry I had to get the chocolate egg off my fingers. lol
if not theres tons of bookstores here :)
no kindle....but used it is like 4.00. I found it at the library....
I am serious, this book is one that blew me away... also ties the West Nile outbreaks to Plum Island...and something called the Dutch Duck Plague.
Don't get me started on the reproductive BS, cos. I'm an Oklahoma woman. I'm less of a human life than a non-viable fetus.
Ok Mag Mom, I saw the Oklahoma stuff recently, it is CRAZY.
It's insane red. It embarrases me to be represented by such complete and total nutjobs.
I have wondered how physicians actually feel about that law.
ah personhood.....
mary fallin is a joke.
i really liked jeri askins
Considering the "red" of our state, there's probably quite a few who agree with it.
evening
In Oklahoma Cos, they have passed that law that says a physician does not have to inform a pregnant woman if her fetus has say, a genetic defect, or is not developing properly.
Even the Republican Physicians I work with here in Florida think it is wrong.
Jari Askins rocks!!! She is from a place about 30 miles from me and she is just an amazing lady!
hey Jes!
Hi Jes!!
have we decided to toss all the politicians out and let the scientists run things yet?
Also, red, it could possibly prevent a physician from saving the mother's life even if the pregnancy is non-viable, such as in an ectopic pregnancy.
But jes, the politicians know what is best for us! Those scientists are just crazy. What do they know about our health or what's good for us? :-)
I just can not imagine a physician thinking this would be alright...
agreed red
there was a lovely essay by a physician posted to a blog recently and i cannot for the life of me remember where.
sorry.. was scolding ryan.
Was that the one where the woman would have died? By a female physician?
grid is not working out too well at this point.... 76 left...
43 left here
no, it was a physician explaining why the whole thing was ridiculous, and asking all doctors to refuse to comply with the mandatory transvaginal ultrasound bullshit.
I'm at 125 left and I started lastnight
here we go: http://whatever.scalzi.com/2012/03/20/ guest-post-a-doctor-on-transvaginal-ul trasounds/
Cool! I'll check it out
Ok, going to stop here with 75 left, and get some sleep....
<-- being dragged into drama --- closing that website now lol
night red
g'night red
i didn't mean to start drama, cos
not this website lol
i meant.. drama elsewhere :) sorry!
ok :)
Going to fix dinner. Hope you all have a pleasant evening.
enjoy, stidg
k time to focus ont he grid
if anyones here.. i need the first mo6?
Add an i to the one in front of it
molly..... molly.... i need to talk to you.
and tyvm
And I LOVE seeing people expressing opinions here and not getting tromped all over or being haughtily told "Harumph, well to each their own" : )
i guess this isnt the right venue though.. so it can wait :)
Email me, mtjtoday@yahoo.com
thanks!
ok sent
trans-vaginal? isn't that where dracula is from?
total tangent - a reminder to all to get vaccinated. Even for things you don't think are a problem any more. Washington State has declared an epidemic of whooping cough, which is an easily preventable disease. Washington state, by no small coincidence, has an incredibly high rate of "religious" vaccine opt-outs.
http://www.kgw.com/news/local/Official s-call-it-a-whooping-cough-epidemic-14 7253795.html
yikes!
Herd immunity is incredibly important in preventing disease in babies too young to vaccinate, but it only works if the adults in contact with those babies are immunized.
ri6/21 please?
ri6 fizz (or sounds like it)
hi all
hi jmc
hey jm
sigh i get so angry when people risk their child because one person said there was a correlation (which doesn't mean a connection) to something else
ri6 fizz?
1 person who's been repeatedly refuted, had his license revoked, his work recalled, and gone to ja4 for his bs, even.
did you know that turkey farmers all over the country went bankrupt when JFK was assassinated?
no
because of the fun?
gun i mean
i bet all the turkey farmers were shaking in their boots that reagan was shot
actually it was because the assassination was just before thanksgiving and almost no one felt like celebrating
ah. that makes sense
but it is not a reason why turkey farmers should be especially nervous of presidential assassinations
so hows the rescue biz jes?
my cat is sleeping on the top of the couch behind me and her arms are on one of my shoulder and her legs on the other shoulder. so cute
reasonably well, jmc

Hey jmc. Do you know a lovely man who may attend your meetings named David Mills?
Hey jmc. Do you know a lovely man who may attend your meetings named David Mills?
sorry for the hiccup
hmmm let me check
apparently he works for Obama in the Dept of Commerce BIS Department. Our parents were old friends
hmmm he doesn't seem to be connected to my meeting but there are a handful of meetings around DC
cool bugs
langley hill is next door to the cia
for sure they were of your faith and the career David has seems along the line of yours. he was such a sweet kid when I lived with them
alexandria is surrounded by an army base
I am only asking because someone else did and you never know how small the world is.
well he may be at bethesda or adelphi
bug am doing one of the ennegram tests online right now
true true there are only about 91,000 quakers in the US
he may attend and not be in the directory or have introduced himself
they are a good place to start carleekat. once you get a place to start, really examine it to see how true it is.
one enchanted evening. . . ..
for Pete's sake jmc, I thot you knew ALL the Quakers in the US ! ;)
haha!
no not all of them
but quite a cross-section
when you fund your true love.. . .
oh no surprise there..the helper... sheesh...
once you have found him never let him. . . .gooooooooooo
south pacific was a great musical
what tests should i take here carlee and bugs?
carle now look at the traits of the 2 and if they seem true, see how much 8 and 4 seem familiar to you
even numbers are nice but wimps
odds numbers are the bad boys
you don't have to take any jmc but she is looking into the enneagram, an interest of mine. a bit like Meyers Briggs.
sorry that was my childhood vision of numbers
I'm a 5 so I must be bad then.... :)
oh i have a book on that. i think i am a 4? have to go check
okay i will find it . . . meyers briggs was entertaining
well the numbers all aspired to be 10
sometime when i am really really drunk i will explain the story of the numbers
funny when i answered the ?'s....i was only 1 more than others ( like 6 at 2, 5 at 3 5 at 4 and so on0 and yet 2 is me bang on
its true when i get upset i am an 8
hmmm i am guessing with no more information than the descriptions that i am an 8
brb
hmmm should i take the one with the instinctual variant?
if you go to 8 when you are upset, you could be right. Do you also like to save things for the memories? or have to answer the phone evenif it probably is a salesman carlee?
not sure what you are looking at jmc but 8 peolpe have a very strong intuition component
yeap and I used to be like that bug (ie the phone) but with teenagers and the fact that I have learned it is never for me i can completely ignore it
http://www.enneagraminstitute.com/begi n.asp
i did the 10 min one there mind it took me about 3 mins
LOL carlee - You have used the enneagram in the way it was meant to be used! when you find out what you do when you are not at your best, then you can shift to your gift
what is my gift?
( bug JUST lost me)

you run your office long enough and you automatically answer the phone
ok doing jmc's version now..the long one 14 pages of questions
so should i do that one?
no idea....i wanted to do this one b/c the one i posted was like the shorter one on your site
the idea is that everyone was born with a gift but when llife happens we forget it. 2's have the gift of hope I think
i am answering most of these yes
oh look at that i am an 8
hahahaha i know myself
*puts on foil cap and cape*
you are a redeemed 8 jmc. I read somewhere they are the best kind
I seem to be a six *relurks*
haha how am i redeemed?
stidmama is loyal
hi stiddy {{hugs}}
Hi stid. If you identify with 6, was it hard to decide between 3, 6 and 9? they are all related so closely lots of people have to really work at it to see where they are truely at home
you could well be a 6
first time I tied 2,4,6 -- second time clearly 6.
But I think a longer test would be more clear, I am "of two minds" about a lot of things, and tend to switch how I act depending on situations. A lot.
hmmm this one says i am 1
jmc, 8's without faith can be pretty frightening because of their power. 8's want the best for everyone and sometimes barrel over others to get their way
1w2 or 2w1
hmmmi thin 2w1
think*
haha *swirls cape* that's me barrelling over people to save the world
don't worry any of you!!! I said I study it because it is complex and explained to me why I behave in one way under some circumstances and the opposite under different circumstances.
dear bugs i never worry over these things i use them to give me some insight
same as what JMC says
I had a boss that was an angry 8 jmc. when he was off balance we all had to do everything his way all the time even if it made no sense. We just waited till he left and forgave him because of his good days
also sees me as a 1w9
I am so glad you are enjoying it. Stidmama sounded confuesed there for a bit
it makes senses that you could be a 2 carlee because they also have strong tendencies towards the characteristic of the 1 and 3, the onels on either side
hmmm... well... but i can see 9 in me too..i tend to be a diff person for every person i relae with
( i am good at sales)
relate*
I am not confused... but having taken many assessments of this type I know that my flexible nature yields less accurate results with short versions. I operate in different ways at different times because I have had to in order to survive. So these forced choice instruments are somewhat unwieldy.
so I don't know. If I had money to spend, it would go to clothes, food or the garden, rather than a longer test.
how are you doing anyway, Bugs and carlee and jmc? I haven't seen you three at the same time for a while
heheeh...i am with you there stiddy..and i would get bored with the longer test
I was trained by someone who was trained by Helen Palmer. It is an oral tradition that wants you to tell stories on yourself about how you behaved what your motivations were to really get close to where you fall
I am feeling MUCH better stid. only 54 more work days until I get to retire !
that's pretty nifty, bugs! and so pleased you will get to retire soon. I know you will enjoy having the time to devote to your family and hobbies!
i am taking the rest of the night off stiddy... i have most of my philosophy essay done but....i need to let it percolate and i need to step away so i can see clearly what i need to change to sharpen my arguments
weeeeeelll my experience is that we are all different in different situations. . . even with meyers brigg i have a personal persona and a professional persona
good idea, carlee -- a trick that many younger students haven't figured out yet.
wt gcarlee
*wtg
i am arguing against plantinga ( he is an exclusivist) and i am using james, kierkegaard and socrates with a bit of david wilcox to argue against him
i do it differently. . .i let it all bubble until i have time to write it
whoo hooo carlee!
technically i am to argue Pro hicks but plantinga is anti hicks..so I am anti Plantinga
'zactly, jmc -- and you know I had to be one way at home when I was growing up and another way in public. I work hard now to be honest and clear with people without being rude. I don't like being completely different people!
i have no problem with it meself
i hate to hug people i don't know but am very touchy feely to those i love
in my professional life i have no problem being different to diff people b/c diff people have diff needs
resolves to not be huggy next time jmc visits.
there you go
haha i had such a good time with your dad
give him my love
as for huggy...it depends..i have no problem hugging people who really NEED a hug
(it will drive him crazy)
i only need a hub from someone i know
rofljmc!
*hug
not me needing a hug... but i have been in situations this year at school with classmates i have come to know...and there have been times they have felt like they are coming apart and i dont mind hugging them
and I stopped going to a church when too many people I didn't know wanted to hug me all the time...........
brb dinner
and my pathfinders ( teenagers) i hug them all the time i am their spare mommy..especially at camp
i don't mind hugging people who need it. . .i hate people who think they should hug me
i is with you bugs
wtg carlee
no...i never feel i SHOULD hug people
i hug when they convey a need to be hugged
exactly jmc. sometimes a hug is needed and sometimes it is invasive.
it is not that i object to hugs . . . i object to unsolicited hugs from people i do not know well
that would creep me out JMC
these are the kinds of things we talk about at enneagram sessions. it is fun to understand how others think and feel about situations we all experience
((((hugs jmc))))
blech blech blech
oh wait it is ru
hands jmc some bleach.... ;)
ty bugs
I have to start looking for more words
words??
as in Babble ROFL
{{jmc}} more hugs for you <snort><giggle>
*runs from chog*
Back. *tosses hugs after jmc*
HAHAHAHAHA
*tosses choclits at people who are still here*
yummmm choclits
so i had a major OMG ultimate "miss exam" fear moment yesterday
sneaks back for choclits
i had a take home exam for first nations due yesterday
with a link to turnitin
i go to submit it... CLOSED at 12 NOON and was 6 pm....I just about had a heart attack
oh, carlee -- did you get it sorted out?
i DID however re-read exam...it said DUE saturday april 14, 2012
my heart stopped just reading about it
did not give a time...then after some hunting on webct it said midnight April 14, 2012 he set for 12:00 pm April 14 not 12:00 am April 15
ack!
i KNOW
but i feel yuck cus i scrambled when i saw that to get in as soon as i could..i could have done better on it if i spent a bit more time revising but it is what it is...and life throws you curve balls and u just adapt and learn from them
( that would be my type 2 lloking for the good in a bad situation)
looking*
;)
and i am done the course...just 4 more to go
that is true, carlee -- you are done, you did the best you could with what you knew (deadlines included) at the time
4 ore til what ?
i went in with a 95 and i did send in a couple frantic emails..so given the confusion..i am sure the prof will take that into consideration too
4 more to finish this year bug I went back to school full time this year
what degree are you working toward?
i was hoping to get into teachers college this year but with my marks from 25 years ago i didnt make the grade so..i am returning next year
I am done a 3 year undeclared BA now
i am now declared in a 4 year philosophy BA for next year
( my teachables however are science and english as i have a diploma from college that is entirely science based )
nice. hope it works out for you
( so the credits i hve there fulfill the teachable requirements
me too..if not..there is always academia :)
( which i happen to LOVE )
Taking a moment to watch a TV show. Back tomorrow. ***Hugs for those who like them, smiles for those who prefer no hugs, and choclits for all!*** *poof*
