1:31 am

on Friday our granddaughter will be 9 so among other things I got her 2 puzzles..one of the US and one of the world

1:32 am

the pieces are magnetic and can be done on the sheet that comes with or on the refrigerator

1:32 am

the funny thing is the disclaimer on the world map..due to the changing names

1:33 am

said they can't guarantee they'll always be correct

1:36 am

I'm talking too much..Frank Sinatra is on PBS..I'll shut up now and enjoy

1:37 am

I wish that was on here, west!

1:37 am

he really was talented

1:38 am

I actually saw him at the Paramount in NYC when I was a bobby-soxer. Swoon!

1:39 am

I've always loved his voice

1:40 am

I liked him best when he was young and dreamy

1:40 am

But he didn't just sing beautifully, he acted the songs

1:40 am

I'm watching Michael Feinstein's American Songbook..this episode is Sa6/18 Singers

1:41 am

didn't he though?

1:42 am

jilli..been so long..have you seen the latest Cumberbatch?

1:43 am

Oh yes -- and was baffled by the finale!

1:44 am

me too..he has to come back

1:44 am

this fall there will be a new series called Elementary with Luci Liu as Watson !! I'm not watching it.

1:45 am

Ugh!

1:48 am

I'm not watching much on TV these days, other than news and MSNBC and Jeopardy -- and Coronation Street again, I hope, now that %$*& hockey is over.

1:48 am

And Doc Martin and such

1:48 am

we just love Martin Clunes

1:49 am

we watch Doc Martin, William and Mary and Reggie Perrin..all old episodes but so good

1:50 am

We get other Brit things on our Knowledge network -- like a BC PBS

1:50 am

oh and guess what? I have been wanting to tell you my friend from Surrey sent me a Spode commemorative plate of Queen Elizabeth's Jubilee.

1:51 am

Such as Heartbeat, Inspector Lewis.

1:51 am

love Inspector Lewis..loved Inspector Morse too

1:53 am

Oh, lovely! I stupidly sold my such things for a pittance when I moved out here, including a George V Silver Jubilee mug, and an Elizabeth II Coronation cup and saucer.

1:53 am

I have to go to bed -- droopy.

1:53 am

oh too bad..that's what happens when we move

1:54 am

it was lovely visiting with you..I will be heading out shortly too

1:54 am

sleep well and no phone calls

1:55 am

I hope -- but gardener plans to come in the early morning, sigh. Goodnight!

1:56 am

2:01 am

2:23 am

2:24 am

2:25 am

2:25 am

big doings for William's birthday?..is he going to be 3 ?

2:26 am

they're all coming over for the weekend - it is also my 80th (day before William's 3rd) we gals are going to have a girlie day in Victoria - pedicures, and afternoon tea, the boys are making supper

2:27 am

that sounds like so much fun !!

2:27 am

sons are talking about coming but not sure when - and if yes

2:28 am

we so seldom get this kind of time together, I'm really looking forward to it

2:28 am

that would make it perfect

2:29 am

we have never had all 4 kids under this roof at one time, had 3 a couple of times

2:29 am

two of our girls now live on the west coast need to get out there to visit

2:30 am

if all came at once, we'd have to use a B&B for sleeping - only have two guest rooms here

2:30 am

where are they west?

2:31 am

one in San Diego the other in Seattle

2:31 am

ah, so SD would have to come to Seattle wouldn't that be lovely - and if you get to Seattle, it isn't far from SSI

2:32 am

I know. And you can bet I'd be out to see you and jilli

2:32 am

that would be wonderful

2:33 am

it seems like such a peaceful place

2:33 am

I'd love to meet you

2:33 am

it is west

2:33 am

and I'd love to meet you too

2:34 am

as soon as husband retires we'll be going places

2:34 am

sooper, how soon does he retire?

2:35 am

he has a brother in Colorado and a sister in Michigan so we'll make our way cross country

2:35 am

there's talk of Canada raising retirement age - isn't that the pits

2:35 am

he'll probably work another few years

2:36 am

I'm not sure he'll know what to do..but gentleman farmer comes to mind

2:36 am

one thing I think you'd really love, in Victoria, is the Butchard Gardens - absolutely gorgeous, whatever time of year.

2:37 am

our three girls were there when they took their grandfather on an Alaskan cruise

2:38 am

we are seriously thinking of spending half the year out west..since two are still here

2:38 am

that's what hubby did, but is cutting back this year, really feeling the work

2:38 am

he was an engineer too wasn't he?

2:39 am

no, taught physics

2:40 am

Jon would have loved that..he's a physics nut

2:40 am

bet they'd get along famously

2:43 am

ah,interesting. daughter as married to an emgineer, other one is dating one

2:44 am

they're a good group..the unseen wind that blows the sails

2:45 am

West, am really going to have to get to bed, very tired, - just killed a mosquito that's been bugging me

2:46 am

okay flosey..at least it won't bite you now

2:46 am

4:56 am

i've never "used" it anywhere but here.

4:57 am

stupid me - I have the plural of an lo4 - but didn't enter the lo4.

5:08 am

oh that happens to me all the time. When I get near the end, I always check my word list for forgotten plurals and singulars and verb forms etc... and I always feel kinda silly for forgetting so many.

7:19 am

Hi ((Mom)) I was in the kitchen

7:19 am

No, Molly she went home on Sunday

7:20 am

Oh, well I hope you enjoyed your time with her. I know you love having her around.

7:20 am

She is such a beautiful dog

7:20 am

((Annie)) good morning. I emailed you the recipe to your gmail. Is that the correct one to use?

7:21 am

yes, Mom they are both good now

7:21 am

we had a great time with her. She was up and ready to play at 5 a.m. Sunday morning

7:21 am

good deal, Annie.

7:21 am

and thank you so much for the recipe. I will make some this week

7:21 am

I hope you all like it as much as my sweetie does

7:22 am

you're very welcome

7:22 am

I am sure I will..I know Bobby loves macaroni salad. The salads you get at the deli is not my cup of tea.

7:22 am

no, we have not found one that we like from the deli

7:22 am

They always taste spoiled to me.

7:23 am

That io9 is going to make my grey hair totally grey.

7:23 am

7:24 am

isonomer

7:24 am

ooops sorry, not a word, whew

7:25 am

it would have been nice if it were

7:29 am

The io word is gibberish to me. : )

7:30 am

Im going to leave it for la4 and if I can't find it...morewords is the answer

7:30 am

Molly, do you have the io word?

7:31 am

I do Annie, want a clue?

7:31 am

yes please, Molly

7:31 am

yes, please

7:33 am

You were in the right direction with your first three letters. Then add the eco****** of nations are about their financial structure.

That eco word is a plural

7:36 am

7:39 am

Molly, thanks for the 9

7:39 am

ty for the is9

7:39 am

OK, mom... starting to get stressed about the move

7:40 am

my daughter would like me to move to CT and just thinking about it stresses me to the max.

7:40 am

Not seeing Sue's PB violation. Must need more coffee. fe4 doesn't count.

7:40 am

Oh fe5 does, duh.

7:41 am

moving is tough annie - good and stressful at teh same time

7:41 am

Molly, It was part of the lab name...it was not PB worthy..name of a scientist

7:41 am

I'm too old to move but the change would be very hard on Bobby

7:42 am

that is quite a move, KJE. I hope you will enjoy it

7:43 am

a friend of our oldest, moved to SF. They pay $1200.00/mo. just for two rooms

7:43 am

"too old to move" no such thing!

7:43 am

SF is a beautiful place to live...I am sure you will be very happy living there.

7:43 am

but so many hills...

7:43 am

I hear it is beautiful there

7:43 am

hi Hurshy

7:44 am

kje, thanks for the encouragement..right now it is in the talking stage

7:44 am

hi all.

7:44 am

it is beautiful - and has the advantage of being a true city (walking friendly) as well as minutes from wonderful natuer... I am looking forward to the location, though not the cost of living

7:44 am

it is stressful to move but once you get settled it is very nice.

7:45 am

hi hurshy..did you have your second interview?

7:45 am

on the other hand, I will have to downsize and simplify - not necessarily a bad thing

7:45 am

no KJE, that is a very refreshing feeling.

7:45 am

yes, and i thought it went well... we'll find out today - if i am still in the running i will be contacted to go meet the other staff tomorrow, so if i hear nothing i guess i'm out.

7:46 am

best of luck, hursh!

7:46 am

I wish you the best, Hurshy and hope you get the call

7:46 am

good luck!!

7:46 am

I need to scoot and get over to mom and dad's. ((Hugs)) to all of you

did i tell you all the story of when we were first married(the ass thing reminded me of this) she was 20 and i was 27 or thereabouts and we had friends the same age also newly married.well both the ladies were walking dynamite,legs that went on forever and buns of steel and everything we take for granted at that age. well were were over at their house for a fondue and a few drinks and the talk got around between the ladies over whose tushie was firmer,well my friend and i had to jump in on this one so we proposed a little contest,each of the ladies put on a skin tight pair of spandex pants and out to the kitchen we went,my buddy grabbed 2 eggs from the fridge and gave me one and kept one for himself,we had the ladies hold onto the kitchen counter with both hands facing the window away from us and we each placed the egg in the butt crack of our wives tushies and they gripped the egg while still wearing these tight spandex pants.now the rules are simple the woman who can hold the egg the longest will be crowed buns of steel champion.my buddy and i left them there and went to the closet and quietly got a pair of ping pong paddles and back into the kitchen we went where the ladies were still holding onto the raw eggs with supreme concentration. my buddy and i positioned ourselves and using hand singnals i gave a 3 count ..1...2....3 and whammo! we gave each one a good spank on the butt and broke the eggs:)

Dose, you could at least put "real" words in the chat

2:57 pm

;-)

2:57 pm

2:57 pm

... never!

3:00 pm

So how is everyone today?

3:00 pm

... the sun is shining ... all is right with the world ...

3:01 pm

it's cloudy here, but tha's okay too.

3:01 pm

grumble - wish it was here, could do with a bit of warmth

3:01 pm

I just picked a quart bowl of berries: strawberries, raspberries and mullberries

3:02 pm

... you're in the middle of winter ... it's not supposed to be warm ... but you gotta have a foot of snow before you can complain ...

3:03 pm

yum Nef...I have been making a light chocolate cake lately with berries in the top. Very nice.

3:03 pm

dose,

3:03 pm

3:03 pm

3:04 pm

whoops! tried to erase that and entered instead!

3:04 pm

sorry Dos...never have snow so guess no grumbling from down here

3:05 pm

... where I am we missed it this past winter too .. ... which means we'll get a double dose this year ... ... not looking forward to it ... ... so I'm keeping all the sunshine to myself today and saving it up ...

3:05 pm

You read like you have had a 'busy' year Nef

3:06 pm

my grandson was here this past weekend (as usual) and he would run out a pick 3-4 berries several times a day as they ripened. They are so much better tasting than store-bought berries!

3:07 pm

ummm, that's one way of putting it lynxxx

3:09 pm

brb

3:09 pm

You are one amazing woman Nef, you manage so much

3:10 pm

Nef busy? Never. She sits around in the recliner all day eating bon bons and watching soaps. : D

3:21 pm

back. I see you're talking behind my back,? ;-) I haven't updated in nearly 2 weeks. Since then DH has had 4 more MRI's , another 8 hr ER visit, and I can't count the doctor appts.

3:22 pm

See? Like I said. A life of leisure. : P

3:23 pm

he had 3 hrs for MRI's on Monday eve (brain, cervical and thorasic MRI's a 2 hr neuro appt. yesterday and an hour with the neurosurgeon today. It seems he's having an M.S. flare-up on top of the pain; he needs to have surgery on his spine in the neck region in about a month

3:25 pm

Anyone want to take over the cab service to doctor appts.? "See MPLS and St. Paul MN medical facilities...."

3:26 pm

any chance of clues for is 9/60 and is 5/10?

3:26 pm

(I threatened DH I plan on tying him down soon if he keeps this up!)

3:27 pm

is5/10...is + ***ze the day

3:27 pm

sorry, jdd, I don't have either but will look

3:27 pm

wow - hopefully everything will settle down for a while soon Nef

3:28 pm

is9...is + m*** is the kissing disease + mo**** and daddies

3:29 pm

interesting word, Molly.

3:32 pm

lynxxx I'm hoping and praying so too. It just HAS to get better

3:32 pm

"Interesting" is a nice word. I had a different one for it earlier.

3:32 pm

:-)

3:33 pm

It's good that you keep a positive attitude Nef. So many in your situation would not.

3:34 pm

DH is depressed about all of this; I *get* that he's down about it; but I also know that being depressed doesn't help. So I aim for the stars...

3:36 pm

(I really need a nap this after noon. Falling asleep in the chair again here)

3:36 pm

With you on his side Nef, things will get better.

3:37 pm

thanks, lynxxx. I hope so too.

3:37 pm

...now go and have a nap

3:38 pm

thanks. I think I willl.

3:39 pm

<poof>

3:40 pm

ty Molly.

3:41 pm

good afternoon dear Babblers

3:41 pm

Hi Bich

3:42 pm

hi Bicon

3:42 pm

finally stopped raining here. What a depressing day

3:43 pm

hi lynxxx, Molly, jdd

3:45 pm

JDD, I don't think I've seen you here before. Welcome to Babble. : )

3:46 pm

l

3:46 pm

o

3:46 pm

Hi JDD, you're from one of my favorite places

3:49 pm

ja6.36 = leafhopper - hmmpph!

3:49 pm

the ja's in the grid are really obscure

3:51 pm

<---Did not like the ja's, not one little bit

3:52 pm

If it weren't for More Words....

3:52 pm

Thanks Bichon - This is not a happy place at the moment but many have gone to Poland to cheer on the Irish team at the European Football Finals.

3:53 pm

We loved Ireland and Dublin in particular.

3:54 pm

Molly - have become addicted since my daughter told me of this game a few weeks ago. Down to my last 2 words on this grid. Clues are great from the chug participants.

3:54 pm

Ireland is a fun place to visit. We hiked the Kerry Way

3:55 pm

That's it. I am officially renaming this place. I LOVE chug. So much better than chog. Glad you are having fun with the puzzle, JDD.

3:55 pm

The mountains and lakes of Kerry are beautiful when the weather is good but when the mist descends it's time for a nice pub!

3:56 pm

howdy all:) back for a few more.howdy jdd44 i see you are a new player and bid you welcome to the club,though i must warn you babble may be addictive

3:59 pm

hi Cross

3:59 pm

howdy lynxx

4:08 pm

that felt like a 300 word grid....bye all

4:12 pm

can I impose once again. final word so 6/18 - any clues?

4:13 pm

Put two vowels at the end of the word before it.

4:13 pm

Very dumb word.

4:13 pm

... two of them ... earlier ... or put two vowels on previous so4 to make it like a baby word

4:15 pm

ty Molly. Fireworks. Off to bed.

4:15 pm

Well done JDD : )

4:23 pm

Hello everyone. Here's your shoe, Molly.

4:24 pm

Why thank you Via.

4:25 pm

Hellofa mess in here this morning. JMC was right. The flip people didn't even notice.

4:27 pm

well, it got really quiet, just a bunch of well-behaved cluing -- I think everyone else must have passed out.

4:28 pm

They did. And there were sticky Margarita stains all over, confetti hither, thither and yon and one drunk pervert hiding under the bar, reading 50 Shades Of Gray while panting and sweating. Rough clean up.

4:29 pm

Wow. Good thing the PB has Mary Poppins cleaning-powers.

4:30 pm

Again! What a time to enter. You guys are killing me.

4:30 pm

Okay, I for one, really enjoying the frivolity last night!!

4:31 pm

Has anybody read 50 shades?

4:31 pm

*enjoyed

4:31 pm

I never heard of it until these bad-influence people started talking last night...

4:31 pm

brb...must restart due to a downloaded update....

4:31 pm

It's not my style Gramma.

4:32 pm

I don't know why but I don't want to read it.

4:33 pm

I can't really say it's not my style because I've never even picked it up. But from what I've heard I don't want to.

4:33 pm

sn5?!?!?! wtf? Sounds like a Dr. Suess word.

4:33 pm

Yeah, there are a lot of those in this grid.

4:33 pm

No sn's here yet but I'll look.

4:34 pm

Gramma, unless you are into poorly written trash, I would skip the 50 Shades books.

4:34 pm

Got it!

4:34 pm

I just monkeyed it; it's just a crazy word that doesn't sound real and isn't in the dictionary.

4:34 pm

ty Molly.

4:36 pm

Via, there are sooo many Babble words you could say that about.

4:37 pm

I know, but this one in particular sounds like one that was invented to rhyme with a real word or something

4:38 pm

Most just seem like "not English" whereas this one seems distinctly "made up to make children laugh"

4:40 pm

Or maybe I just like to think that every new crazy word is "special." And then I forget about it once the next particularly not-a-word word comes along.

4:40 pm

I never took typing so when I enter words I always have to look at the keyboard. Disadvantage when you aren't in the correct spot and you go on a tear. Finding words at super-human speed, only to realize you haven't entered them and now you can't remember half of them.

4:41 pm

Gramma quit reading my mind! :-)

4:42 pm

Oops sorry Cherrypop. If I had a mind I'd read my own

4:43 pm

sa 5/22? please

4:44 pm

sa + high point letter + get **t of here

4:44 pm

Cripes...that took forever....guess I'll dive into grid...

4:45 pm

TY

4:46 pm

yw

4:48 pm

<--Thinks sa5/22 is the dumbest word in the grid

4:49 pm

there are many dumb words in this grid Molly, like all of the ja's

4:49 pm

sa5 is not the dumbest word in the grid! sn5 is way dumber!

4:49 pm

I was waiting for someone to clue it as "capuchin monkey" so I could laugh and laugh.

4:50 pm

I will stick up for my words to the end!

4:50 pm

mo8 is singular what? please.

4:50 pm

Singular + not lives

4:51 pm

Really? ok ty I think

4:51 pm

Yep..ty

4:52 pm

<--Will not come to fisticuffs with Via over dumb words

4:52 pm

<-- thinks mo8 is the second dumbest word in the grid

4:52 pm

Keep going you two. It's a grid FULL of them.

4:53 pm

4 left, must think, think, think.

4:55 pm

sn5/10 is definitely a winner...snagged me for awhile...now nbt

4:57 pm

da6/21 definition hydrax. Since I don't know what that means either, I'm giving it the dumbest word award

5:00 pm

So many dumb words, so little time.

5:01 pm

2 left. Wait for it....both ja's! Surprise.

5:01 pm

I think I'll pop the chicken in the oven and come back refreshed with a freshie in hand.

5:02 pm

okay, add fe5/18 to the list...

5:07 pm

*Wonders if Gramma is making drunken chicken*

5:09 pm

nbs...taking a break..bbs

5:16 pm

is9 clue?

5:18 pm

is + the ec******* of countries (their financial structures) can go up or down.

5:18 pm

ahhh, ty

5:19 pm

<--Knew Via was bright enough to get that one

5:30 pm

Gramma made curry chicken. Easiest 4 ingredient deliciousness. Unfortunately the chicken was not cut properly. It took a little extra effort

5:32 pm

first re6?

5:33 pm

found it! duh.

5:33 pm

fw

5:34 pm

*throws shoes to celebrate*

5:34 pm

Leafhopper/s. Come on!**! Never would have believed it

5:38 pm

OK see you all tomorrow, Good Lord willing and the creek don't rise.

5:38 pm

*Dumps a bucket of gatorade over Via's head*

5:38 pm

Bye Gram

5:42 pm

why are you dumping gatorade over my head?

5:43 pm

It's a sports thing they do to winning coachs

5:44 pm

ahhh, sports things. It is not an area of my expertise.

5:44 pm

there is picnic happening outside now! must go!

5:44 pm

bbfl

5:45 pm

6:25 pm

6:26 pm

Hey Blue, how are you?

6:27 pm

I'm doing well, and you?

6:27 pm

I'm doing well too, thanks.

6:28 pm

love your profile picture.

6:28 pm

I just love the sea.

6:29 pm

so calming

6:29 pm

are you really 7?

6:29 pm

I agree, the sea is very calming. And yes, I am 7 at heart. : )

6:30 pm

why 7?

6:31 pm

Because I consider it the age where kids still remember magic.

6:31 pm

hi again all!

6:31 pm

Hi Sue

6:32 pm

Evening all. May I please have a clue for fe7-44? Thanks

6:32 pm

I love it Molly!!

6:32 pm

hi Mollly!

6:32 pm

and hi peach!

6:32 pm

How are you sue?

6:32 pm

hi uusue and peach!!

6:32 pm

peach, add "not off" to the fe5/18

6:32 pm

Hey there, heron.

6:33 pm

Thanks so much, sue.

6:33 pm

I am good, peach, although I have been doing an awful lot of physics problems (work for hire), now I have to write a bunch of them

6:33 pm

hi, blue!

6:34 pm

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we had been born rich instead of beautiful?

6:34 pm

fe7/44 was a new addition to my physics babblets list today!

6:37 pm

Yes Peach, that would help a lot. : )

6:41 pm

ty, Peach. With my dictionary, I was successful.

6:42 pm

hi, quail!

6:42 pm

Hey there, quail.

6:45 pm

Nice icon. A quail is a bird that can help you learn your soul name.

6:48 pm

Molly, how?

6:52 pm

The quail is associated with naming because the bob-white is in the quail family and bob-white speaks it's name. It's Native American folklore that meditating on quail can help you learn your soul name.

6:53 pm

Cool, Molly.

7:01 pm

brb

7:21 pm

Hello all, back to work on this again...have 80 left...how is everyone?

7:23 pm

hi all

7:23 pm

hi Jilly, want to race, I have 38 left. I will win :)

7:23 pm

hi

7:24 pm

You'd probably win if I only had the 38..

7:24 pm

hello HJ!

7:24 pm

don't be too sure about that Jilly

7:25 pm

hello all! ((harp)) haven't seen you in a while...

7:25 pm

hi stid, i lurk mostly

7:25 pm

were you lurking last night when we had all the fun?

7:26 pm

I lurked a lot during the school year. Now that I am done... I plan on raising a ruckus! *wicked on-vacation mama grin*

7:26 pm

no jilly i just missed it

7:26 pm

i thought for sure snoose was a real word...

7:27 pm

what are the stats for the E's please?

7:27 pm

there is a similar "word" in the grid today harp

7:27 pm

sn 5/10

7:27 pm

Well, admidst all the hats, dancing, flying shoes and erotica....Nef mentioned she had met an ER MD who is arriving here to work in July!

7:27 pm

ei 5/12 and eo 4 fish

7:27 pm

wait, I missed the fun

7:27 pm

really, coming to MDMH? cool.

7:28 pm

Is someone quitting, or are we just expecting to have more accidents in the vicinity?

Hi everyone...

7:28 pm

Didn't have time to run down and check on it today though...

7:28 pm

two fish, got the e's thanks

7:28 pm

hey leigh!

Hi mama

7:29 pm

Our ER is growing by leaps and bounds. When I worked in it there wasn't even an MD except on weekends. Now there are 3-4 RNS and during certain periods 2 MD's plus all the EMT's...it isn't little Hamilton any longer

7:29 pm

A CUTE MD Jilly, don't forget the CUTE part. : )

7:30 pm

first do5/12 pls

7:30 pm

that's a shame, jilly -- probably nice for some of the old-timers in terms of job growth... but not nice for what was a small town.

7:30 pm

nm, stupid plural

7:30 pm

First do5/12 sounds like the plural of what you wear outside in the winter.

7:31 pm

LOL molly, thought Nef and I had explained we were too old to much bother with an MD's looks....

7:31 pm

Dammit! Forgot the Peri rule.

7:31 pm

:) you are slippin' molls

7:31 pm

Town has changed so much in the 23 years I have lived here...oh well....

7:31 pm

Yes Jilly you did. And you thought I bought that?

7:32 pm

Well, I guess neither Nef nor I are near dead after all.....

7:34 pm

Good evening Babblers

7:34 pm

Not even close. Wink, wink.

7:34 pm

Hello wht!

7:34 pm

Hello Wht, or whoever you are. : D

7:35 pm

Molly, you would know.

7:35 pm

Actually, jmc is the one I have met in real life.

7:36 pm

Ssssh, I am trying to pretend I don't.

7:41 pm

oh -- a physics word in the grid and no Sue to know I found it without help. *sigh*

7:41 pm

We'll vouch for you stid!

7:42 pm

7:58 pm

what was your fave, Fiddler or Alfred E Neuman?

7:59 pm

I see Ru is dropping trou again. How special : D

7:59 pm

hmmmm....tough for a middle school to put on mad magazine as a musical, so I guess it's fiddler

8:00 pm

If they can make the Bible and the Book of Mormon into a musical, why not Mad Magazine? Or do they think that might offend someone?

8:00 pm

Mad TV was such a disappointment

8:00 pm

Oh, now I'm thinking Mad Magazine: The Musical. With a rousing "What Me Worry?" as the Act I finale.

8:01 pm

And Spy vs Spy episodes happening in the borders....

8:01 pm

It's a HIT! Broadway here we come!

8:02 pm

Goodnight Jillyjill! I'll see you tomorrow in the chat log

8:44 pm

i love what you do min. i want to make some semblance of a career in literacy and/or ESL. i have the skills but need further education, i think. my background is in journalism and psychology.

8:44 pm

And good night all. I need to be off as well

8:44 pm

night wht

8:45 pm

anyway, i am going to volunteer with a literacy not for profit in town.

8:46 pm

Goodbye wht! I will see you tomorrow in the chat log.

8:50 pm

nice mab - my cousin runs the literacy program in New Haven and it is so rewarding

8:51 pm

mab - check your local library - I volunteer through ours.

8:54 pm

i have a passion for human rights, and language. and i think everyone has a right to learn to read. maybe i can make something work. new haven isn't terribly far from me.

8:55 pm

I have passion for fine food, wine, art, and love.

8:55 pm

ok, i'll try to dig up the info she gave me. funny thing is i just got an email from her today, so if i'll get it for you soon. If you just google literacy/esl in new haven you'll probably find it. Her name is Linda Klipper and she coordinates the volunteers, trains etc.

8:55 pm

and puns, ru, don't forget the puns

8:56 pm

oh.. right after food

8:56 pm

oh, thank you dorens. i definitely will look it up.

8:57 pm

written by eleanor rooseveldt.

8:58 pm

i have to buy a new tv, new kitchen stereo, and a couple of other things since I had a power surge knock everything out last week

8:58 pm

8:58 pm

speaking of puns

8:58 pm

Not me! I have ten more words left and it's a struggle

8:58 pm

you power company will pay for those doren if you file a claim

8:58 pm

your

8:59 pm

oh. my insurance company said they would. didn't think about the power company, that's even better,... they won't raise my premium

8:59 pm

we had one at our house and it fried everything

8:59 pm

oh no. do you have insurance for that? wow.

8:59 pm

you need to let them know every item

8:59 pm

oh yes, you do.

8:59 pm

it's weird.. the computer was ok, internet, but the phone part of the modem was gone

9:00 pm

a fan in the bedroom,... stereo, one of two tv's and something in the hottub.

9:00 pm

it melted our surge protector

9:00 pm

such protection, eh? (my modem was on one too)

9:01 pm

they paid $1500 towards a new TV

9:01 pm

that's amazing. I've never heard of such a thing happening. I'd have to lie down with a cold cloth on my head for several weeks.

9:02 pm

i am hoping for total replacement. old tv wsn't 1500..

9:02 pm

is that how much televisions cost? wow

9:02 pm

why mab? insurance doesn't pay for damage to your household items?

9:02 pm

I had to use a metal spatula to pry up the surge protector

9:03 pm

i rent. but i'd still be prostrate.

9:03 pm

9:04 pm

mine is flatscreen new, but just a 32 inch from costco that doesn't connect to computer, etc. it is the one down in the "exercise room"

9:04 pm

but maybe i should upgrade

9:04 pm

oh yes. i'm just very easily distressed. i love my electric appliances. if they died it would be like camping.

9:05 pm

where do you plug in camping?

9:05 pm

i'm such a ditz ru.. didn't occur to me i guess i need a new surge protector by the computer. (as well as the other items that burned out)
