tx for plant clue, that and lickety's point count gave me the suffix. OK, > halfway, nbt, nbs, and all 7+ letter words. Close enough for mediocrity. I have a big week ahead_four days of teaching ALG II, conic sections! Hairy conics! Marvel conics! I'm a stand-up conic!

hello all -- late again after a charity art auction

1:06 am

Hi Stid- I am lurking also

1:07 am

thanks stid/lurker

1:07 am

wow ruru!

1:07 am

dart isn't here..yeah.. he might be busy and I'll catch him with 1000 pts

ahh erda you just proved gullible lol

1:08 am

huh?

1:08 am

how was the auction jilli? did you buy?

joke love gets people looking it up

1:09 am

No, flosey, just went for the company and the wine and goodies, lol!

1:09 am

Some people get their enjoyments in a peculiar way...

lol

1:10 am

*don't ask me erda*

1:10 am

And to suppot the Centre School, where neighbour teaches.

1:10 am

sure, why not jilli, and you never know

1:10 am

suppot?

1:10 am

Jilli.. were you smoking weed at school again?

1:10 am

Did everyone get out to look at the spectacular moon?

1:11 am

I did, it was a lovely moon. we were driving back from dining out. very nice!

1:11 am

absolutely not, ruru -- only tried that once, years ago, and inhaled.

1:11 am

yes Erda, we did

1:11 am

LOL

1:12 am

took pics, haven't downloaded them yet

1:12 am

yes erda- Jakester and i went out and looked at it

1:12 am

was bill clinton with you?

1:14 am

I tried to take a picture of the moon the other night -- it was spectacular even though not quite full. Had lit up the clouds and the tree branches added spooky interest, but it didn't turn out. Should have done a time exposure but I had just woken up at about 3 am and didn't bother.

1:15 am

I'll download now, bbs

1:15 am

My one puff of weed was long before the Clinton days (daze)

1:15 am

It's a lovely moon. I am down to 22 words. But tired.

1:16 am

((((((Jill)))))) are you fully ambulatory now? Dancing can cans again?

1:16 am

I am at 52 to go

1:17 am

hi stiddie -- about 99% fully ambulatory -- no can can can quite yet

1:18 am

hm. *puts fluffy petticoats back in wardrobe* we'll have to practice later, then.

1:18 am

oh oh... *sits in PB*

1:19 am

<-- takes choclits to stid in the PB

1:19 am

thanks, Jill -- you're a pal!

1:20 am

1:21 am

Bye Stid

1:22 am

nbt

1:23 am

gnight stid

1:24 am

was on the beach and should have changed settings but couldn't see well enough, just a dot in the sky - and reflection on the water - another dot

1:25 am

of course the 8 would be an re word. Any hints available?

1:26 am

a person who gives a witty response

1:27 am

extend re6/18

1:27 am

the witty response

1:27 am

don't have that yet, flosey -- I'm allergic to re words

1:27 am

the re6 is also, I think, a word describing a container used in chemistry for distilling, doubt if that helps, lol

1:28 am

now yer talking, rbud -- got that re6, lol!

1:29 am

nbs now too -- ty flosey and rbud

1:29 am

noooo, you're kidding, right? ;p

1:29 am

wheee, whatever works! :D

1:29 am

wtg jilli

1:30 am

did a lot of chem and biochem at university, rbud, lol!

1:30 am

well, that explains that! glad I could help.

1:31 am

the wit made me think "riposte"

1:32 am

understandable

1:36 am

I recall the re6 from chem in college, too, I always thought it was kind of odd, so it stuck in my head

1:36 am

not much else from chem did, though, lol!

1:41 am

I did a lot of chemicals earlier in life.. but not quite the same way

1:42 am

in case you were wondering where I got my weird sense of humor.

1:46 am

We used to sing this back in the 1940s:

1:46 am

Cocaine Bill and Morphine Sue Now Cocaine Bill and Morphine Sue Were walking down Fifth Avenue Chorus: So honey have a [sniff] have a [sniff] on me. Honey have a [sniff] on me. They came to a drugstore painted green Outside was a sign said "No Morphine." They came to a drugstore finished in oak The sign outside said "No More Coke." From Broadway to the state of Maine They search in vain for more cocaine. So in the river side by side They both committed suicide. Now in the graveyard on the hill Lies the body of Cocaine Bill And in that graveyard by his side Lies the body of his Morphine Bride. The moral of this story goes There aint no future in snuffin' snow. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. If the coke don't get ya, the morphine must.

1:48 am

We thought the whole idea of such drugs was stupid -- but booze was something else.

1:49 am

to go back to the chem re6 - I have one in a cupboard here. I think it was named for its shape.

1:49 am

... funny jilli

1:49 am

clever one jilli

1:49 am

I maybe have one cocktail a year

1:50 am

ah, but the wine, eh ruru...???

1:51 am

well.. we don't count those

1:51 am

we do recycle...a lot though

1:52 am

okay.. i'm off for bed.. good night all

1:54 am

gnight ruru -- have a good sleeeeeep

2:03 am

well, past halfway and bedtime. Busy again tomorrow -- library work and wrapping un-Christmas presents for next weekend!

2:04 am

2:23 am

2:23 am

2:47 am

bore da Ruby - just got here too

2:48 am

how is your world this morning ruby?

2:50 am

more rain and even more rain! and cold! I think we've had 3 warm afternoons this spring. The noxious weeds are taking over the garden.

2:51 am

it's been like that here too - but yesterday was dry! dull but dry . And today is the same. It's been too cole here for the weeds to get a grip.

2:52 am

the weedw got their grip; I've lost mine LOL

2:53 am

I planted some broad beans (fava?) three weeks ago - they never fail, but this year there's no sign of them germinating

2:53 am

I haven't even looked at the potager, which is down below. It is so marshy down there, I can't imagine we'll have any strawberries or raspberries this year

2:54 am

<-- loves fava beans

2:54 am

oh the raspberries will come no matter what!

2:54 am

I love fave beans too - I grow them and just eat them in the garden when I pick them LOL - they never make it into the kitchen

2:54 am

and my fig tree died

2:55 am

oh no....

2:55 am

i love figs too

2:55 am

(((((ruby))))))

2:56 am

I planted it in the most sheltered part of the garden and it had grown very large and had to rounds of fruit every year. I think the warmth in (I think) Feb, followed by a very cold snap, did it in

2:56 am

and hello glantarell

2:56 am

i had damage to many plants which ade nd early start then got caught by frost - but none have died, thankfully

3:14 am

okay, i can handle that, but can you?

3:15 am

from where i sit, can't feel a thing. LOL

3:15 am

has is going to be enormous, almost as big as Ruby and he's not even 5 mos old

3:15 am

omg, ruby....and just who is going to walk him?

3:16 am

fortunately, the garden is big enough and fenced. So far, I can control him on the leash in the street but I don't know for how long

3:17 am

time to exercise your doogy authority, ruby.

3:17 am

oh dear.....* doggy *

3:17 am

have you read the Dog Listener by Jan Fennel?

3:18 am

really really useful insight into dog behviour and how to control it without being uinkind

3:18 am

wrote it down, ty glanta, will order it

3:18 am

how are you 2 going with the ho8? would you like a clue?

3:18 am

yes! need clue

3:18 am

I turned several dogs around when I wokred for the RSPCA, using her methodology

3:19 am

he is very smart, so should be easier to train unlike our other chow chows

3:19 am

and he does totally endearing "tricks". When you throw a ball, he does somersaults, every time

3:20 am

this is not about training it's more about understanding and therefore communicating in ways which worl

3:20 am

okay, ho4 ( sharpen) + different way to spell viral skin growth

3:20 am

I just found the fo5 European wind!

3:20 am

*work

3:20 am

ty, rose, would never have found that

3:21 am

ty - I wouldn never have got it either

3:21 am

my goodness, it worked!!!!!

3:22 am

22 left and need to go do some chores - happy babbling, see you later

3:23 am

chores on Sunday? I already did a huge breakfast and a load of wash!

3:23 am

btw, ruby, it's about 4 weeks until i book in for my knee replacement....and the bathroom still isn't finished. waaaahh!

3:23 am

night from me, glantarell

3:24 am

{{rose}} btw, your "talking book" is finally in the mail!

3:24 am

ah, thanx ruby, looking forward to it

3:24 am

morning, Babble friends :)

3:25 am

{{sprite}}

3:25 am

3:25 am

are you having constant rain, too?

3:25 am

((((spritey))))

3:25 am

<-- only have 3

3:25 am

no, not today. We even have some sun.

3:26 am

ruby, rain on and off, and in between, dull overcast days.

3:26 am

it is soggy and cold here

3:26 am

need some sun

3:26 am

I have one 7 :D

3:26 am

ditto here, ruby, and, boy, do my joints let me know it.

3:27 am

*hugs rose and ruby*

3:27 am

and now it's time to be a wife....aaaarghh

3:27 am

Himself is waiting for his Campari

3:27 am

I am enjoying our scabble games, sprite

3:27 am

lol... tell him hi from me and tell him to behave.

3:27 am

oh, dear, ruby....patience, my friend

3:27 am

me too, ruby! Good win you had again!

3:28 am

he is starting to forget more and more stuff; it's scary!

3:29 am

I remember more about his life than he does

3:29 am

such a shame, ruby, when we see our loved ones fade before our eyes

3:29 am

never easy

3:31 am

hey there to all... I can totally relate as my husband has ALS and is losing his body before his mind.

3:31 am

oh grandy, that is terrible. Such a horrible disease.

3:31 am

{{grandy}}

3:32 am

82 words with a lot of help from Rose

3:32 am

hey grandy

3:32 am

how old is he, grandy?

3:33 am

yes, it is.. one never knows from day to day what will not work next.. he is 67... it is limb onset and he can still talk and breath. He was a stocky muscular man and now they are like indents. humor gets us through most days.

3:33 am

ruby, for goodness sake, give him his campari, and get back here

3:34 am

happily, he's still out walking Ruby

3:34 am

humor is an amazing force.

3:34 am

oh, grandy, thoughts and prayers coming your way

3:34 am

how hard for you both, grandy, you are fortunate to have your humor left

3:35 am

grandy, have you read or seen "Tuesdays with Morrie"?

3:36 am

thank you... it is nights like this when I can not sleep, that show the strain. but a little babble with friends is a joy. Does not happen often though. I am usually just too tired.

3:36 am

{{{{{{grandy}}}}}

3:36 am

I have not see Tuesdays with Morrie... I have heard of it though.

3:37 am

this is the most wonderful support group!

3:37 am

if you can spare the time and energy, it might be worth it. Very beautiful.

3:38 am

*poof* for now

3:38 am

bye, sweet friends!!!!

3:38 am

Yes, it is... I could not handle a face to face support group. there is one but is a few hours away. Just stick to routine that gets me through to.

3:38 am

bye ruby

3:40 am

night, ruby, talk to youn real soon

3:40 am

routine is good because it saves energy and gives you something to hold on to. It is a tough road you travel, both of you.

3:40 am

the light of our day is our 5 year old. we are raising our great grandson. He is a bright star.

3:41 am

and grandy? just tap into us whenever you need. my email is in my profile

3:41 am

same for me, grandy. If you need a listening ear/reading eye, we are here.

3:42 am

Thank you all so very very much.....

3:42 am

you are raising your grandson? May I ask about his parents?

3:42 am

that's the beauty of babble. so many, with sympathy AND empathy

3:42 am

back, I have a 15-minute reprieve

3:43 am

and a wicked sense of humour, rose :)

3:43 am

AND experience!

3:43 am

wb ruby. Now don't secretly sip his martini!

3:43 am

see??? campari is a wonderful thing!!!!

3:44 am

no, he wasn't ready; it isn't 11 yet! lol

3:44 am

he was born to our grand daughter who has mental capacity issues. He does not have any of that he is as bright as a button and yes, he can out smart us sometimes.

3:44 am

he's given up martinis

3:44 am

now, spritey, you wouldn't be referrring to the ot5 night, would you?

3:44 am

don't tell me I was tipsy online?

3:45 am

that is a noble undertaking, grandy. My parents raised my sister's son and he became a great success

3:45 am

it must be demanding, to take care of a 5 yo in these circumstances. But I can imagine his being a blessing too :)

3:46 am

me, rose? Never! You know me. Would I ever do that to my babble friends? *looks innocent*

3:47 am

if you gals are okay...i will just slip quietly away. see you at the flip

3:47 am

It comes and goes and we have a fantastic family of support. we have always raised him in a village of attachement, so he is comfortable with family.

3:47 am

[[ROSE}]

3:47 am

bye rose *hugs*

3:47 am

nitey nite..rose

3:48 am

wow grandy, that is beautiful.

3:48 am

LOL, spritey, would have to be one of the most mortifying experiences of my life

3:48 am

* poof *

3:48 am

I must look at this grid... three times I have almost posted a word....

3:48 am

I THINK i'VE MISSED A SCANDALOUS STORY....

3:48 am

in that case, rose, you are leading a very innocent and clean life :)

3:48 am

whoops, caps again errant pinkie

3:49 am

oh and pass the martini this way... a little virtual booze never hursts

3:49 am

don't worry, grandy. It happens to all of us. It is a silly thing in the setup of this site

3:50 am

*pours grandy, ruby and self a HUGE martini*

3:50 am

I'll put some martinis in the pb before I leave

3:50 am

morning all - lovely sunday morning here - off to Bristol later to see a band called Kidnap Alice - blue grassy folky type stuff

3:50 am

hello kazzer

3:50 am

sounds good, Kazz, and hi :)

3:51 am

if kazzer has good weather, we should have it in two days or so

3:51 am

how is your pup - growing well? I would also like to indulge in the drinks but i prefer beliinis - lovely proseco with all sorts of fruit concotions

3:52 am

*pours Kazzer one of her favorite drinks*

3:52 am

he is enormous kaz, adorable, affectionate, does tricks, but still bites me now and then

3:52 am

sunny weather would be a good change for us here. blow it on over

3:52 am

<-- never had a bellini but it sounds wonderful

3:52 am

yummy - just the thing to get the brain cells firing on all cylinders

3:52 am

*real poof*

3:52 am

bye ruby!

3:53 am

I'll try Grandy - though its really cold for this time of year - we had to cover the spuds with fleece yesterday to stop them being damaged by the expected frost

3:53 am

If I catch you tomorrow Ruby I will give you recipe - your could do it with champagne

3:54 am

our garden is so wet we can not even rototill yet, net alone plant

3:54 am

sounds like we all could use some real Spring

3:55 am

hmz... I don't like the combination of cr4 and fe4.

9:06 am

Hi welki + crossy!

9:07 am

howdy welki

9:07 am

morning, cross

9:07 am

welki, my previous mowing kid called me yesterday and he will mow this summer after all, so I can skip buying a mower this year

9:08 am

bonus! now you can take that $$ (because you intended to spend it anyway) and buy something F.U.N.

9:09 am

lol,love the logic welki..sound luke my mrs

9:09 am

i have a PhD in pretzel logic :)

9:09 am

I was going to spend approx $200 on the mower and will pay him approx $250, BUT I save the time and hassle of mowing every week

9:09 am

you almost had a unplanned expense,but it did not happen,so take the money you would of spent and buy shoes!

9:10 am

so if you add up the hours you've saved and convert into hourly wage - you could probably buy yourself a new car *lol*

9:10 am

hehe

9:10 am

lol,welki

9:10 am

I am driving this car as long as possible. It is 7 yrs old and I am about to hit 150k miles.

9:11 am

if it is a honda or toyota,you will have another 200k scwabby,if it is north american iron 80-100k

9:12 am

Ideally I will save enough $ to buy my next car with cash, and I will never buy a new car again, just pre-owned/used

9:12 am

I have a Subaru Forester--great car.

9:12 am

those are nice cars for longevity

9:13 am

i've had two subarus - loved them

9:13 am

My sister just leased a new Outback. Sure, I'd love a newer model, but I'd rather save money.

9:14 am

(that was in the 80s - an old gl wagon and an xt7) - i am a car whore.

9:14 am

the new outback sport with the inline 6 is nice

9:14 am

12:09 pm

12:09 pm

there is an fo 5/18 babblet that usually catches me too, but I saw it this time: fo + male pronoun in reverse + single hump letter

12:10 pm

fo 6 is almost the name of a favorite Dicken's book of my Granny's: Little Do****

12:10 pm

yes i have the fo5, looking for 6

12:10 pm

there is the fo 6 that builds of the military branch air fo5

12:10 pm

aha!

12:11 pm

24 left, seems a shame to list now :)

12:11 pm

I am to 13 listless

12:11 pm

I think you could, too.

12:12 pm

12:13 pm

12:13 pm

12:13 pm

glad to be useful!

12:14 pm

re 7/44

12:15 pm

thanks teach! how did that bluegrass festival go in february (? or was it march)?

12:15 pm

is that from the right or left r, teach?

12:15 pm

got it! :-)

12:16 pm

from the right, LA

12:16 pm

it's a past tense word

12:16 pm

aha

12:16 pm

last weekend in February eveey year - it went well - now getting ready for an outdoor festival firsdt weekend in June

12:18 pm

went to one yesterday and there will be one the following Saturday - but not involved in organizing those

12:18 pm

I am glad it went well -- I used to love those sorts of things. In Newport News, they used to have a festival in May or June I think (might have been later in summer though) that was so amazing. Clogging, lace making, GOOD bluegrass, crafts... I loved it. Still miss the good Appalachian foods and music.

12:18 pm

I think it's more fun to attend than to organize...

12:18 pm

in June the food will be traditional appalachian cooking - ramps and potatoes, soup beans and cornbread

12:19 pm

I am going to a one-day learning about Irish next weekend! language, music, dance... VERY excited to go!

12:19 pm

oh yum! *wiping drool off keyboard* glad I have a keyboard protector!

12:19 pm

sassafras tea and saasparilla also

12:19 pm

how's the weather back there, teach?

12:20 pm

mmmmm. we don't have sassafras here. I really want to get some seed and grow a bit. It's one of the few treats I really miss.

12:20 pm

I just hope I haven't manage to get allergic to it.

12:20 pm

down to 8...

12:21 pm

yesterday was drizzly in the morning but dried out for the afternoon and evening- today is clouded over

12:21 pm

15 to go here

12:21 pm

we have sassafras here in our yard and there are ramps throughout the woods

12:22 pm

we had similar weather yesterday was worried we wouldn't see the moon, then it cleared up really nicely around 10. Sunny at the moment, but high clouds filtering the light

12:22 pm

saw the moon while at the festival briefly and only through the trees, while driving home it was clouded over

12:23 pm

I loved sassafras, it was one of the first deciduous trees I could identify reliably. That, and ironwood. Our woods have lovely trees, too -- and BIG! but I still miss the mixed woodlands sometimes.

12:23 pm

through the trees would have been pretty!

12:23 pm

we had one in the woods behind our school and could easily get the kids to identify it

12:25 pm

I had to look up ramps because it doesn't grow in the tidewater area. Here is a marvelous resource I found! http://www.wvagriculture.org/images/Li terature/Edible_Wild_Plants.pdf

12:26 pm

re 6/18 pz the first one just b4 to lease

12:26 pm

there's an fo7, stiddy

Hi LeslieAnn. :)

12:26 pm

re + double consonant + movie alien, ivesy

12:26 pm

ivesy, what I have is the cow lining that makes cheese curdle

12:27 pm

heya neil

12:27 pm

thanks LA *looking*

12:27 pm

ty ty .. didnt see the double consonant

12:27 pm

ramps are a cross between onions and garlic and grow wild in the woods - i personally don't like them but there are many ramp festivals here in the spring - yesterday at the festival they were selling "ramp butter"

12:27 pm

can you send a hint my way, LA?

12:28 pm

there were little wild onions where we lived, teach -- my brother and I used to snack on them while we played in the yard... LOL pull them up, peel off the outer layer and yum! but I don't know that I would have liked a garlicky plant much although we eat lots of garlic now.

12:29 pm

compound word - 4 + go, past tense

12:30 pm

thanks LA

12:30 pm

i've got ho8, what's the other 8?

12:30 pm

we have wild onions here but they are not ramps - ramps are much stronger and larger bulbs and a definite garlic taste - in June they will fry them up with hash brown potatoes

12:30 pm

re 8. will trade...

12:30 pm

ho8 is another compound. to ho** your skills + st. john's ****

12:31 pm

ho 8 - compound word - never heard of the word before - someone said it was another name for parsley

12:31 pm

person who answers back quickly and with disdain... re + layered cake + "one who" suffix

12:31 pm

thanks LA and teach

12:31 pm

ty stid needed that one

12:31 pm

down to 5. listless, but not without assistance, that's me!

12:32 pm

ah thanks stiddy. had the 6 but not the 8

12:32 pm

re 7/44 plz

12:33 pm

nm just got it duh

12:33 pm

I have to leave it at 5. In anticipation of many firewords: ***showers players with confetti and chocolates*** have a wonderful afternoon! *poof*

12:34 pm

*Ah, what a lovely sound, the sound of someone else vacuuming*

12:35 pm

bye stid

12:37 pm

12:48 pm

and half way with a solid metal neck piece :)

12:50 pm

I have et6, sounds chemical or gasoline-y

et6,21 - et + female chicken + vowel That one, LeslieAnn?

12:51 pm

ahh thanks rbud. 12 left and hitting a wall

Oh. Or what rbud just said... which is a better clue.

12:51 pm

hahaaahahahahahaa. i love the fo7/56. tried it on a whim and it's real! :D hehehehee

12:52 pm

I laughed about the tw6/39 - buy one, get one! :)

Well the present tense of it works, jes, so of course that does. ;) I've seen it before but it does seem kinda weird.

12:53 pm

i've never seen it before... but i like it :)

Oh that's a term used in online pool games, rbud... maybe real life pool games too for all I know. When you sink two balls in one shot.

12:53 pm

thanks, rbud, i didn't have that one :)

12:54 pm

well, someone early in chog said there was a tw6, and that was the only thing that popped into my head, was surprised it worked

12:55 pm

missing one from the bottom r? have ro4, ro5

12:56 pm

last word - fe 7/52 - very strong want or idea

12:56 pm

there are 2 ro5

Yeah. When you do that in a pool game people will say "Nice tw6!" Maybe you've heard it somewhere before and just don't remember?

12:56 pm

ah ok. thanks jes. congrats teach!

12:56 pm

yay teach! and thanks :)

Or seen it? Actally I've only seen it... typed by people in online pool games.

12:59 pm

hi all

12:59 pm

morning, jam :)

12:59 pm

never played online pool, but it may have come from pool players in my past, though I'm pretty sure I've only ever heard it used when buying/selling something

12:59 pm

*inserts toothpicks to hold up eyelids*

Oh, maybe. Online pool is way too addictive.

Hi jmc! Wakey wakey? lol

1:00 pm

stayed up too late trying to catch some clear sky to see the moon

Still drinking coffee and trying to wake up myself.

1:00 pm

*slides jam a mug of tea*

And it's 2 hours since I got out of bed. :P

Everything is addictive.

1:01 pm

yeah but it 2 pm here

1:01 pm

mmmm thanks jes

Hmmm no, Kaplan. There are definitely some things that would never addict me.

1:02 pm

not everything is addictive but someone can become addicted to anything

1:02 pm

30 left and slowing way down

Oh I can think of things I couldn't become addicted to... because I don't like them in the first place.

1:02 pm

heroine is addictive. . . we are addicted to babble because of our personalities

Or because we're just word nerds. ;)

Speaking for myself there, definitely.

1:03 pm

that doesn't mean they wouldn't be addictive to someone else

This is a debate in the field. Heroin doesn't addict everyone who uses it.

Babble does.

Really? Wow. Didn't know that.

1:04 pm

i'm at 9 jes, practically immobile. :)

1:04 pm

haha i know that is not true kap. . . some people have avoided the babble addiction

There are people who moderate their use and make sure they don't build up a habit.

1:04 pm

heehee, just had to giggle, our little dog was napping, th4 I heard her coming through the bedroom to find me - sounded funny. when she got here, she had one paw stuck up in her collar - time to tighten it a smidge, I guess!

OMG. What's their secret, jmc?!

1:04 pm

but you are correct some people do not become addicted to heroine but they are in a very small minority

Aww. I guess so rbud.

1:05 pm

oddly enough the opposite is true of cigarettes. . .most people who try smoking do not become addicted

Hi Seain.

1:06 pm

aww poor baby i bet she was scared

It's not even that small a minority- but it is a hidden population. There's been a lot of research over decades, but it is considered heretical.

1:06 pm

missing one c? have 1 ce, 4 co, 4 cr

1:06 pm

well, it's happened before, she just finds me and figures I can fix it, I suppose.

I'm still not smoking, jmc! Been struggling not to get any more but held off so far.

1:07 pm

it's good she knows she can get help!

1:07 pm

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!! neil

1:07 pm

yay, neil! good job!!!

Of course rbud. Moms can fix anything. :)

1:07 pm

i wonder how many of the people who never get around to trying heroine because it holds no interest would be people who didn't become addicted if the did try it...

1:07 pm

i think dogs are just kind of like, hmm this isn't right. cats are the ones who freak out about it

Yeah. Interesting point to ponder jes.

1:08 pm

she's old, and pretty wise now, got a lot figured out.

Yeah, Leslie.

1:08 pm

well there is the other downside to heroine which is the fairly high opportunity to overdose

True. That would be a serious deterrent.

Just the whole idea of it never had any appeal for me... that or any other hard drugs. No thanks.

1:09 pm

whereas cigarettes only kill slowly

Well that's why I've quit.

1:10 pm

stats for the top O please

1:10 pm

never tried it myself, along with a big list of stuff - I was always one to watch how things affected ot5 people, if I didn't like what I saw, I never tried it. good way to stay outta trouble.

Exactly, rbud!

1:10 pm

not a bad philosophy rbud

1:10 pm

Let others be the guinea pigs. :P lol

1:10 pm

2:24 pm

and for those budding writers,i offer a nice crossy tidbit of the day.this is a freeware program.run your first draft through it http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/1u7jHd/: 1ZWWtgtVU:EsFk_MPu/www.gingersoftware. com/grammarcheck/

2:25 pm

Looks fun and useful -- thanks!

2:25 pm

it is quite usefull

2:25 pm

and it will take entire pages at a time

2:37 pm

now,it is just the big tease to get you to buy the premium program,but is still handy

I worked in a lab where we had a grammar check program. The boss wanted us to use it as we were writing papers. What a lousy program! It didn't recognize latin plurals, so it was always telling me my subject and verb didn't agree when they did.

And it didn't understand that in scince writng you're *supposed* to use the passive voice.

2:41 pm

well,i cannot promise how it will handle other languages including dead ones,but try it

And it kept scolding me for using big words when you sorta have to in technical work...

2:42 pm

heck 99% of all checker programs in the states balk at colour,arbour,theatre etc etc...so i amused to it

2:42 pm

lol

And that I was using the same word too often

2:42 pm

am used*

I think these things would be great for someone in high school learning to write papers.

for those of us who already know how they are just an irritant. My 15 cents

2:43 pm

it is a handy tool,not a rock solid final draft sort of thing.i would use most of them in that way

2:44 pm

Agreed, rasta, but I'm going to check it out anyway. Crossy's reccommend is usually spot on.

2:44 pm

for final drafts,it is as it has always been .get five people who do not like you very much to read your book/paper and tear it apart

And if English isn't your first language, have someone read it for whom it is....

2:45 pm

this is true

2:45 pm

Amen to that, crossy! Although I have an excellent friend who is also a terrific (read brutally honest) editor.

2:45 pm

that way you do not end up with chinglish and other english varriants

I've gone over galley proofs for my mom dozens of times. This was dinner table stuff for us

2:46 pm

you will always need a brutal editor

Arguing over the usage of one word vs another

2:47 pm

yup,dissecting the minutae of each word and how it can be adjusted

we drive anyone outside the family crazy. Most people don't like having their grammar corrected.

we enjoy it. I'm trying to learn French since my dd moved there and married a frenchman. She knows I want her to coreect me lol

2:48 pm

i avoid being a grammar nazi in here at all costs,as in the past i have used ghost writers,as my mind ticks along at a mile a minute and my finger go far slower

I try to remember to keep my mouth sht but sometimes it pops out. Esp when I see it on professionally printed signs. Arrggh!

2:49 pm

my mind races along such,that often i will type in a dyslexic(sp) manner when doing a long work

typos are a different story. Look at all of them here in the chog lol

But when my daughter's teachers would say "should have went" do you keep your mouth shut? no.

2:50 pm

yup,this is a place to relax,not have a typing test;))

2:50 pm

I will leave you wordsmiths to it. I'm heading outside to demolish some weeds :). Have fun, all!

2:50 pm

tc ch1212

2:52 pm

what drives me round the bend is live shows in the southern u.s. instead of the word "asked" they say something that sounds like "aksed"

2:53 pm

and any who uses the words "at the end of the day" all the time

and "warshing machine"

ok, I'll shut up now. Don't want to get all you good folks irritated at me too lol.

2:55 pm

sokay,just a bit o fun right now rast

2:55 pm

no probs;)

:)

2:56 pm

now you are talking accent,bronx i thing "he haaad a haat ataack while airning the clothes"

2:57 pm

laverne and shirley talking through the nose stuff:))

yes, I'm afraid we turn on the subtitles when a movie is set in Dublin or Glasgow...

2:58 pm

hehe,i love the deep brogue used in some areas

2:58 pm

when i read any james herriot books,i hear it in my head

It's lovely as music, but I can't follow it when it's deep and fast

like French lol

3:00 pm

or that gaelic music type used for the ladies Enya,s "may it be " is a good example,beautiful,haunting,but have hard to understand

3:00 pm

very*

Orinoco Flow. I had too look up the lyrics, I couldn't figure it out lo

3:01 pm

lol

3:01 pm

it all bradens our horizons

3:01 pm

5:10 pm

Hello stidmama! How are you doing? Welcome to the chog.

I am okay, soodles, the hip that was getting better is now a little sore, am hoping it resolves in a week or so with "good behavior" -- hard to do with all this sunshine! I have dahlias that NEED planting! *stomps gardener-mama fe4*

5:20 pm

other than that, I am doing very well indeed, and very happy to see you online for a change!

5:22 pm

I'm glad to hear that, Stid. You do what they tell you to do!! Life has prevented me from Babbling for the last few weeks. I grabbed an hour this evening all for myself. Bliss!!

5:24 pm

:-) Sorry life got between you and babble. Happy you got some time today. Did you see that GLORIOUS MOON yesterday??? It was amazing over here.

Husbands who make dinner??? I thought they were like Santa Claus.........

I was referring to what he said about the "b" who set him up.

6:19 pm

They are mythical, for the most part, Soodle.

6:19 pm

Mythical, legendary creatures, similar to leprechauns, only taller............

Putting my name down for a Ruru, should one become available.

Soodle, apparently we just don't know the right men. Which is no big secret to either of us.

6:22 pm

Well, actually, Molls,............ I found a sort of a man......

6:22 pm

6:30 pm

really saladacious if you ask me

6:30 pm

Oh okay, she's talking to her Mom about him already. Yee Gods.

Putting nose in the air, and ignoring the snide remarks, and putting the record straight... It was in the frozen food aisle.

6:32 pm

sounds fishy...

6:34 pm

Mother's first question was.... Does this man lurk around supermarkets all the time?

6:34 pm

probably something to do with Cool WHip

6:35 pm

Best pick up place ever for over forty people is the supermarket.

6:35 pm

Muttering quietly to self.. I knew I shouldn't have said a word....

6:35 pm

as long as he doesn't always go through the express lane

6:36 pm

Five items or less, five minutes or less, what's the diff?

6:37 pm

Clean up on aisle 9!

6:39 pm

ROFL

6:41 pm

She wishes she had stayed shtumm!!!!

6:41 pm

Oh Soodle! I think it's awesome...good for you!

Too late. I'm sure the underground Babble emails are already flying.

6:49 pm

*Tries to imagine grocery store pick up lines*

6:54 pm

Paper or Plastic?

6:55 pm

*do you shop in the frozen food aisle often?*

6:55 pm

*need any taters with those tots*

6:56 pm

Don't be fooled. She came right out and said she didn't stay shtumm.

6:57 pm

No wonder her sainted Mother is off to light a candle.

6:57 pm

6:58 pm

it'd be great if she met a nice guy after that jerk of a husband

6:58 pm

I agree.
