12:28 am

Jillibus, were you affected by the earthquake? Any damage on your island?

12:30 am

any word on what is happening with Sandy?

12:31 am

The worst is supposed to be tomorrow evening

12:31 am

Worst supposed to hit us here around DC mid-afternoon tomorrow into the next day.

12:31 am

MitchDick you are amazing!! well done

12:32 am

Christine, Jilli must be out at the moment, nothing at all felt here

12:32 am

wd, mitchdick

12:33 am

no significant damage anywhere Christine --- a few people lost some dishes or ornaments in Queen Charlotte city (about 100 km from the epicentre)

12:34 am

That's good. I've picked up a little on the Internet, but without a television, I don't see the larger picture. I'm glad you're all OK.

12:34 am

yes -- we dodged the bullet on this one

12:34 am

Super!

12:35 am

the quake was on an island in a remote area

12:35 am

Hi all again -- was checking email. Not a twinge of the earthquake here -- it's a long way from here.

12:35 am

Used to be the Queen Charlotte's, now named for an indigineaous tribe?

12:36 am

Yes, but it was 7.7 -- strange that it caused so little damage...

12:36 am

*indigineous

12:36 am

I' wishing all the best to our friends in NJ, such as Hego -- and all the gang on the Eastern seaboard, plus DC.

12:36 am

I've had emails from all over, asking if it affected the L.A area?

12:37 am

it was the type of quake where the 2 plates slide against each other vertically rather than overlapping horizontally -- makes a big difference

12:37 am

Christine, Haida Gwaii was the original name for the Queen Charlotte Islands.

12:38 am

Nan, I believe it was the other way round.

12:38 am

I looked at some photos from out 'quake in 1995, very little damage, considering it was near a large city. I have one photo with a wall sheared away, three stories of kitchens, with refrigerators and stoves just sitting ther, undisturbed.

12:39 am

you mean the sooner than the platter jilli?

12:39 am

oy yoy

12:39 am

cony

12:40 am

Oh, sorry about that ... a freebue for anyone who didn't have it.

12:40 am

<---had it

12:40 am

had it already, sorry

12:41 am

pretty sure the plates just rubbed together moving in opp. directions, jill -- they didn't heave or overlap

12:41 am

*freebie. My computer and I - one of us needs a cuppa.

12:42 am

yes, nan, not a vertical heave is what I heard

12:42 am

cy

12:42 am

when plates rub together .. is that how you get platelettes?

12:42 am

that's right -- guess I didn't explain it very well

12:42 am

lol ruru

12:43 am

2nd row e for nbt please

12:43 am

PBS is showing old Broadway musicals -- wonderful

12:43 am

{{Neil}} how are you tonight? all ok?

1:06 am

I was making a joke not a comment smores

1:06 am

lol, Neil. and ruru, he gotcha!

1:07 am

1:07 am

np....sorry...like I said, lack of sleep

Not touching that one, Rose. ;) lol

Oh wait.. nm. Forgot... he's away.

Ohhhh.

1:08 am

oh you didnt see the 3 holy picture clue ?

1:08 am

well then stiff is okay.. sore is a problem granny

Three holy picture? Now I'm looking for a word starting with "tri" but that letter combo isn't there.

1:10 am

nope - 3 diff words for holy picture

Haha ru... exactly.

Oh, ok. I see... maybe.

1:11 am

when you guys have finished having a laugh at my expense, would appreciate some sympathy.

Who's laughing? I'm busy word-finding.

1:11 am

<--i'm giggling

1:11 am

I'm sorry rose

1:11 am

oh ye4. and pffft. ;P

1:12 am

hi neil -- I was away from here for a bit

Hey jilli.

1:12 am

waahhhh, jilli. the guys are laughing at me....

I repeat: I'm not laughing. I'm babbling! :P

1:13 am

damn.. my phantom is fornicate

1:13 am

you'd laugh if you thought you could get away with it, Neil

1:13 am

there there granny

1:13 am

lol

Nah. Didn't see anything to laugh at there... yet.

1:14 am

it would be, ruru

Nose in grid.

1:14 am

1:14 am

1:19 am

LOL

1:19 am

Oh geez. :P

1:20 am

*swats ru*

1:20 am

I don't like the way this is heading

1:20 am

flushed ruru - flushed

1:20 am

<---heads to gutter

It's ok ru... I understand. It would be a shame to let a good toilet joke go to waste.

1:21 am

sigh

1:21 am

Hey I'm glad he didnt forget to flush

1:21 am

wow, okay, I really need to sleep

Exactly. And this toilet joke/pun thing?

Let's just hope this is just a passing phase and does not lead to a bigger movement.

1:22 am

omg

1:22 am

LOl

1:22 am

lol

1:22 am

you're going to Bowel jilli over neil

1:22 am

I should have escaped to bed long ago

1:23 am

HA

1:23 am

okay Jilli has had enough, I'm sorry Jilli

Probably, jilli.

1:23 am

let's think of happier things, like un7's

You mean happier things are all imaginary?

1:25 am

I am guessing that by staying up .. jilli has intestinal fortitude

1:26 am

un7's are imaginary, oh no!!

1:26 am

I didn't last week, ruru -- remember? post-antibiotic upsetments...

1:26 am

did anyone read about the cow that was about to be slaughetered killing the guy first

1:26 am

ohh, that's right

1:27 am

1:27 am

how nice that you changed the subject to a poeasant on, ruru!

1:27 am

*pleasant

1:27 am

1:27 am

I was wondering if Al-Cowda was involved

1:27 am

I'm too sleepy for this

1:28 am

sheesh, just saw the volcano

1:28 am

thanks jilli, I missed it too

1:28 am

Well better than toilet puns I guess. :P

1:31 am

1:32 am

Good night jilli... sweet dreams.

Hey ru?

I joined another really cool Babble site.

http://www.wordtwist.org/

I mean Boggle. I'll be ok.

1:33 am

yes.. where's that?

Uhh, the link?

1:33 am

oh I think i tried that once

BOGGLE site. I'm too tired to be typing anymore.

Oh yeah?

I joined that site. It's good.

1:33 am

I gotta go - hopefully can sleep now, alarm goes off in less than 5 hours

Have a good sleep smores

Ours goes off too early too.

1:34 am

night smores, sweet sleep

1:34 am

you too neil

Thanks.

1:34 am

nite all

1:34 am

I should go too.. work beckons tomorrow.. i need to watch the baseball interviews

1:36 am

night ru

1:36 am

sorry i ran jilli off with my awful humor.

1:45 am

really? I'll have to be sure and read back, lol! ;p

Yep. It was all ruru's fault.

1:51 am

of course!

You have an add on Yuku, rbud.

1:57 am

why, thank you, that's a first!

1:58 am

not seeing any more, time for bed, goodnight all

1:59 am

night, flosey

It's a first... add, on Yuku?

Like my rad page theme? I'll attempt a custom one at some point... maybe with some help.

2:03 am

seems like... let's see... guess not, I see grannyrose and I are friends, though I don't really recall doing it, lol!

Oh yeah? I didn't notice that. Maybe if I took those dark shades off... haha.

2:04 am

don't know my way around in there very well, not sure where my friend list is exactly!

Huh? I only see myself in her friend list.

Oh ok, it's on your page kind of center and at the bottom. Or should be?

Oh, you don't have all of the modules showing on your page so I can't see that one there.

But it's not so bad. The "Friend Stream" doesn't work anyway... none of the avatars show up, lol.

2:07 am

well, it said you and I had a mutual friend when I saw your request, I would think that would imply I had at least one.

Oh? Weird that I can't see you on her page then.

Is this the same profile you see for her? http://tinyurl.com/9lzaptt

2:08 am

gee, I can see your "shouts" to fauxmage - seems a bit nosy on my part

Nosy? All we're talking about is how the shouts work.

I was trying to figure out where they show up when you post them.

2:09 am

just not sure why it thinks I need to know what my friends are saying, that's all. I would think it would be between those involved?

2:10 am

ah, it says I only have one friend, I guess, so wonder why it said mutual. how odd.

2:10 am

funny little forum site.

2:11 am

I'm a mod on another little forum, reminds me of BabAnon, very small and not much happening.

Yeah that is strange... unless maybe there's some delay in things showing up sometimes? Dunno.

Oh yeah? Bab Anon could be fun. You can post photo albums in those profiles and blogs too from what I've seen... although I can't figure out where and how to do the latter yet.

2:14 am

how did you send me the friend request? I tried sending one to g'rose and it says it "won't be sent"

Oh. I went to your profile and clicked the appropriate button. I think it said "Friend". Not sure?

Ok, I'm chatting with her so I'll ask her to do that on your profile.

Is there a downward facing arrow under Rose's avatar on her profile, beside the word "More"?

If so click that and "Invite to Join".

2:17 am

oh, you have a nice page theme, just now getting around to looking at it! I like it.

Haha, thanks... but it's not custom. Just one they have on there I selected.

2:19 am

but that invites her to babbler's anonymous, it says.

It's a Celtic pattern... not exactly appropriate for my ethnic background but what the heck? It looked cool.

Yep. Which should connect you I think? If there's no other obvious way to add her there.

Ok, grannyrose says she just sent you an invite.

If you go to your own profile or refresh that page then click "Friends" you should see it?

2:29 am

nope, still just you and yuku

You didn't see an add from grannyrose?

Hang on there. I'll try to get this fixed quickly... have to turn in very soon. Alarm goes off too early.

rbud? click your "Friends" link on your own profile now and see if there's an add from her?

2:39 am

nope. I was changing my email addy, sorry to take so long.

2:39 am

would like to change it here, too, but have never figured out how.

2:40 am

not to worry, though, maybe it'll sort itself out.

2:41 am

now I see one!

2:45 am

okay, done and done. I think I get the mutual friend thing, too, it's yuku we had in common, like everyone there. :P

2:50 am

and now back to the grid...

Oh, haha.

Yeah. That Yuku dude is pretty popular... really seems to get around.

And I'm off to sleep.. night!

3:00 am

g'nite, thanks for the help.

can anyone help with the e in the right hand column for nbt please?

5:10 am

6:59 am

aw, annum won't go. we have other latin things that are much less used in english. sigh.

7:03 am

7:08 am

oct 29 was the day the market crashed to start the great depression, wasn't it? and now big ol' storm? not a popular day.

7:12 am

7:21 am

Everything is shut down here, including the Federal Government.

7:21 am

i just hope everyone stays safe and no one ventures out for "fun" or "excitement"

7:21 am

morning all!

7:22 am

I am at work so I do not consider that fun or excitement

7:22 am

where are you located, Molly?

7:22 am

Alas, LBD, there are always the goobers who will do just that. I'm in Maryland, Une.

7:23 am

So, Uni, do you think Fiona has a yip or two for you?

7:31 am

she was sooooo adorable!!!

7:31 am

Now enjoying the hurricane?

7:31 am

she's made a remarkable recovery from how she was when rescued -- was emaciated and pregnant with pups that didn't survive . . .

7:31 am

Got an email from Anniebrook yesterday, as of 7 p.m. last night they were shutting down the elevator in her building and talking of shutting off the electricity, water and heat (which she said they didn't need the heat)

7:32 am

wow, mom . . . assume she's left the city for now, right?

7:32 am

I have been thinking about Annie since watching the weather channel and all the shut downs in the city and evacuations

7:32 am

'morning, folks

7:33 am

she is in Brooklyn on the 23rd floor. She and Bobby are staying put and riding it out she said

7:33 am

hi welki

7:33 am

me too, river . . . and a good friend of my daughter's in Brooklyn with hubby and daughter . . .

7:33 am

hello welki

7:33 am

morning, br

7:33 am

I know all of you think so much of her and I wanted to pass that along

7:33 am

Hello, lbd

7:33 am

I remember that's what she did last time . . . will certainly be thinking of her . . .

7:33 am

thanks, Mom.

7:34 am

Her daughter is in CT but they have left their home and went to her mother in laws

7:34 am

thanks, mom - wish she'd gone inland instead of staying put

7:34 am

good to know . . .

7:34 am

tadone, finito.

7:34 am

you're welcome LBD

7:34 am

way to go, LBD

7:34 am

yay lbd!

7:34 am

my closest friends family lives on Long Island - she is understandably worried

7:35 am

wow congrats lbd

7:35 am

me too. She was going to go to a friends but the friend got a call from Con Ed that her power would be shut of as well

7:35 am

Bobby was rooting for the Giants .... wonder if he knows they won?

7:36 am

He will be happy that they did

7:36 am

my son in law is an operations manager for ems in jersey - very scary. (daughter and grand-daughter happen to be here right now, but youngest daughter and her family live on the jersey coast - middle lives in albany)

7:36 am

we will keep them in our thoughts welki

7:36 am

<-- feels better about the giants winning knowing that bobby was rooting for them *lol*

7:36 am

oh Welki, prayers for them also

7:37 am

will be thinking of them, welki -- saw Chris Christie quote this morning on TV news: "dont be stupid . . . get out" . . . jeez

7:37 am

thanks - it's the boneheads that seem to cause the serious problems for ems

7:38 am

they had mandatory evacuation for queens and lower manhattan, I hope the residence heeded that advice

7:38 am

I agree, Welki

7:39 am

My prayers are out for the first responders. This is hard work weather for them.

7:39 am

Mom - your favorite chore is in the grid again

7:39 am

just looked at the weather at my dad's - starting to rain there but not very windy yet

7:39 am

7:40 am

hello WVteach, are you in line for the snow?

7:40 am

7:40 am

morning, teach

7:40 am

hi wv!

7:41 am

that is men for you

7:41 am

:-D

7:41 am

we are not in the eastern mountains which is the area where snow is predicted - just lots of rain

7:42 am

lots of rain is bad enough

7:42 am

hard to imagine as far as we are from the Atlantic that we will be getting the winds.

7:43 am

Wow, the Jersey boardwalk is already getting damage.

7:44 am

they're even predicting high winds for the southern part of Lake Michigan, with 20-25 foot waves

7:46 am

unreal, uusue

7:48 am

I am not liking this grid at all

7:48 am

any clues for un6/33?

7:48 am

hello majmom

7:49 am

I don't have it but I will help you look

7:49 am

OK...so the reason we use those words in our family all the time....when my Mom was a doctor and would be on call, the phone would ring all the time...especially at dinner! We would answer the phone and tell her it was the or 7/44 instead of the office on the phone!

8:19 am

I'm sure lots of other states are doing the same, hopefully.

10:03 am

hi bichon :)

10:03 am

oh yes, what a shame :( My fave time of year too, I love the colours. And the smells.

10:03 am

(and the storms, but the storms here are never bad like yours)

10:04 am

Walked the dogs for their last walk for a while while Sandy comes thru

10:04 am

hi Jeff. I hope you and yours will be fine and safe.

10:05 am

good thing we got a new roof 3 weeks ago lol

10:05 am

told the fluffs that they were going to have to hold it in til Tues. eve

10:05 am

I pray it will hold :)

10:05 am

awwww poor fluffs, lol. What do you do for solutions? Just outside the door? Or something indoors?

10:05 am

They don't like the rain or the wind, so that might give them incentive

10:06 am

my dogs are 6 and 7 pounds so it's a good thing they are on a leash :p

10:06 am

that's right spite. They're okay for pee with that, but for poop, forgetaboutit

10:06 am

we have a back yard for peeing quickly

10:06 am

Mine are 14 and 16, but they don't like getting their curls wet

10:07 am

lol, yes definately keep them on a leash Jeff

10:07 am

10:07 am

10:14 am

Yea, probably right Molly

10:14 am

How are things there Molly?

10:14 am

I don't mind the surprises. Bichons just don't do bad weather.

10:14 am

Molly, has Sandy hit you yet?

10:16 am

We have steady rain and wind, but not the severe stuff they are expecting. That window is 8PM and overnight.

10:17 am

10:44 am

the pier in Ocean City MD is slowing disintegrating

10:45 am

oh dear

10:45 am

the beach in Ventnor, NJ is getting a beating

10:45 am

bye for now

10:45 am

10:48 am

lol

11:07 am

keeping in touch with relatives on the coast... they range from florida to caribou maine......... have a utube stream of lionel richie on another site to keep me calm

11:08 am

hi all, Happy Monday from NJ!

11:08 am

one of my kids showed me the youtube thing last week and i have been crazed ever since............. watching and listening to all my favorites from johnny cash to il volo

11:09 am

♪You're once ♫ twice ♪ three times, a lady ♫

11:09 am

sounds like a good way to keep calm, sammysmom

11:10 am

yup........... love it

11:12 am

that and cooking... making a big pot of soup and then i might start baking.son and i went out and stocked up a few days ago.. we are in ohio so are not too concerned for our area but the kids will be over this week and i want to be ready

11:13 am

I'm making chicken corn chowder later today. Needed to get the chicken out of the freezer before I lose power, so I roasted it last night.

11:13 am

I'm making some things ahead of time. Macaroni salad and some cornbread to go with chili that is in the freezer. We are not canned food lovers.

11:14 am

is it bad there yet nrkii ?

11:14 am

rainy and windy, but worst is due in about 5 to 7 hours

11:15 am

also have a ham in the oven and am making a potato salad..lol

11:15 am

Storm is on a direct path to Peri's and my doorsteps

11:16 am

dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmm .. maybe time to head inland?

11:17 am

Last year I got stuck up in Massachusetts, while my town flooded down here. It was not a good feeling. As long as I'm not in physical danger, I'm good with sticking here. I've prepared as much as I could.

11:18 am

i understand.. grew up in portland maine and weathered many a storm off the atlantic

11:19 am

Portland, ME is where I would move, if I had my choice of other places to live. I love it here, but I think I would also love it there.

11:21 am

i loved it as a child, but i hate to go there now............... so much has changed that it is not MY portland any more

11:22 am

It's the same where I grew up in MA.

11:25 am

I'm watching coastal reports and it looks like the whole Delaware, Maryland coast is taking a beating.

11:26 am

yup

11:28 am

okay, my goal is to finish this grid before I lose power

11:29 am

the M is baffling... I have an mu4, but can't see anything else

11:31 am

mu 8 clued earlier, sound like a bump on your toe

11:32 am

That's mu7. : )

11:32 am

Sorry!

11:33 am

hmmmmm

11:33 am

Also sounds like a weepy vegetable.

11:34 am

ooh, I had not doubled the middle consonant

11:34 am

thanks

12:00 pm

Hello again - just found out my office is closing at 2 today. One hour to go. Governor just declared a state of emergency and wants all cars off the road by 3 as the storm is expected to hit us then. How are you doing there Molly?

12:03 pm

hi All

12:03 pm

hi hego

12:03 pm

and ty nrkii for the mu7. I've been trying it all day and did not realize about the double consonant.

12:04 pm

Hi River

12:04 pm

hi Hego

12:04 pm

how are you nrkii?

12:05 pm

I am still chuckling at Peri's comment.

12:06 pm

about finishing babble at 4 am - now that is being compassionate about the game....

12:07 pm

that's what I call dedication.

12:08 pm

see that's the problem with having a perfect score.

12:09 pm

I cant tell you the last time I finished a game....

12:09 pm

that's very healthy, River.

12:10 pm

I havent wanted to bother with the list so I do what I can and then give up...29 to go

12:10 pm

you are truly your own creature. : )

12:11 pm

ahhhh hego....

12:12 pm

well, you're working on it.

12:14 pm

Windy and rainy here. It looks far worse in other places though.

12:14 pm

same here.

12:14 pm

getting more windy though.

12:15 pm

are you near the coast hego

12:15 pm

looks like Halloween will be a washout.

12:15 pm

a few miles in River.

12:15 pm

Low lying areas are flooded, but that happens with any big rain storm. No kidding about Halloween.

12:16 pm

thats still too close - they are calling for big storm surges from the ocean over land

12:16 pm

be safe

12:17 pm

I live on a big hill.

12:17 pm

they have hills in NJ....lol!

12:18 pm

we even have some mountains in the west.

12:18 pm

Actually, the highest point on the east coast is in NJ, not far fromhere.

12:19 pm

in Atlantic Highlands, my old town.

12:19 pm

It's getting chillier here. Or maybe it's just that the wind has picked up.

12:19 pm

55 here.

12:20 pm

I must go and finish up my work as we are closing in 40 minutes. Good luck everyone - be safe!

12:20 pm

12:20 pm

Safe trip home, River.

12:20 pm

1:32 pm

1:33 pm

hiya dos :) True! But of course we do worry for you all, over there.

1:33 pm

ty

1:34 pm

I know so many people, friends and family on the east coast. It is making me feel sick and embarrassed about whining about our nasty little windstorm on the weekend

1:35 pm

good afternoon every one:)

1:35 pm

hi crossy :) *hug*

1:35 pm

{{crossy}}

1:36 pm

((sprite))

1:36 pm

((ruby))

1:36 pm

Hi Crossy

1:36 pm

afternoon crossy :)

1:36 pm

I think I'm not in Kansas anymore.

1:36 pm

everyone has their canoes ready here.think it is going to rain forever

1:37 pm

hello smores, hego and sprite

1:37 pm

howdy smores

1:37 pm

oh my... did you click your red slippers?

1:37 pm

I should

1:41 pm

3 times with the heels together, if I am remembering correctly...

1:42 pm

for the record: we managed another huge crisis with our son. Talked things out, he came home today after school. New agreements... let's hope we can steer our family through the adolescence storm.

1:42 pm

nobody on here seems scared. After what I've been seeing on CNN, it looks like the Apocolypse is coming....

1:42 pm

It isn't easy Sprite.

1:43 pm

amen to that, hego!

1:43 pm

Ruby if they're not scared, they're in denial

1:43 pm

ty, hego

1:43 pm

adolescents are a pain.

1:44 pm

I feel like I felt when 9/11 happened

1:44 pm

I think people are scared. But wise enough to take all precautions possible and not letting fear paralyse them.

1:44 pm

well, I hope it won't br that bad.

1:44 pm

But it will be bad.

1:45 pm

4hours to first landfall.

1:45 pm

I don't know about anyone else, but 70 MPH winds scare the beejeezus out of me.

1:45 pm

an even bigger amen to that. May it be bearable and not hurt people.

1:45 pm

3-4 anyway.

1:45 pm

well that would scare me sh*tless too

1:45 pm

you are all in my prayers {{hugs}}

1:46 pm

very, very scary.

1:46 pm

they are talking about 11-12 foot surge in Manhattan (which is at sea level)

1:46 pm

ty smores.

1:46 pm

Land fall right at dark. Happy Early Halloween. Oooooo.

1:46 pm

guess it is our turn tonight:(

1:46 pm

takes scary to a whole new level. And takes out the fun of things completely.

1:46 pm

the city is in real danger.

1:46 pm

full moon, high tide and storm surge, all at the same time

1:46 pm

crossy hope all our beloved east coasters stay safe

1:47 pm

has anybody seen WVTeach? They are predicting 2-3 feet of snow and high winds in WVA

1:47 pm

will it hit you too, crossy? Didn't realise... :(

1:47 pm

more easy of us sprite

1:47 pm

not today, ruby

1:47 pm

but some of our atlatic areas will be hit hard

1:47 pm

I tried to call my friends in MD, but they must have been evacuated, because there was no answer

1:48 pm

if prayers can do good (and I believe they certainly do), at least there are a huge amount of prayers going your way that all may be safe.

1:48 pm

hotels are fully booked, so lots have left.

1:49 pm

we'll take all the prayers we can get. ty

1:49 pm

... has the wind changed direction or the temperature dropped up where you are Crossy? ... If the big Arctic high moves it might change things ....

1:49 pm

they said that Red Cross shelters ere pet friendly, which is a very nice thing

1:50 pm

all we will get here is storm surge and lots of wind and rain

1:51 pm

teach was on chat this morning, said snow should miss her, just a lot of rain

1:51 pm

thanks, smores

1:51 pm

ty smores

1:51 pm

i see they have emptied NY

1:52 pm

have you heard from Anniebrook? She's on the 22nd floor, very close to the ocean

1:52 pm

hi all, we are safe. still raining and the wind has picked up

1:52 pm

you take care peri

1:52 pm

and she probably won't have electricity

1:52 pm

hi peri, good to hear

1:52 pm

1:52 pm

1:53 pm

I do hope Anniebrook is safe.

1:54 pm

1:54 pm

maybe evacuated

1:55 pm

potato chips, check; guacamole, check, gin, check,

1:55 pm

Mom was on this morning and said Annie and Bobbie are riding out the storm in their apartment. The building may turn off the elevator. That is 27 flights to deal with.

1:55 pm

extra water and cat food, check.

1:56 pm

oh, and some dark chocolate too. so I guess we are pretty well covered :)

1:56 pm

Annie could see the WTC come down so I think she has had her share of tragedies

1:56 pm

ty Molly

1:56 pm

snap, hego

1:56 pm

I could see it also

1:57 pm

what an awful thing to be witness to

1:57 pm

awful memory

1:57 pm

even though I'm so far away, it changed my whole life!

1:58 pm

Oh wow, Molly, that does not sound good :(

1:58 pm

{hego}

1:58 pm

wow, per CNN, crane down on w. 57th and 70 trees down in NYC parks . . .

1:58 pm

{hego}

1:59 pm

1:59 pm

2:00 pm

2:00 pm

2:01 pm

2:01 pm

2:02 pm

bye smores, be safe too

2:02 pm

Bloomberg says people living above 10th floor should close shades and stay away from windows but the glass should hold, even with winds of 70-80 mph as predicted . . . jeezomeez

2:03 pm

I think the winds will be much stronger than that

2:03 pm

I couldn't live up tht high

2:04 pm

truly scary, Une

2:04 pm

it's always windy aat that height.

2:04 pm

I couldn't live up that high either, Ruby.

2:04 pm

great view, though.

2:04 pm

hego LOL

2:04 pm

: )

2:04 pm

:)

2:05 pm

I lived on the 20th floor in Miami, but that was before 9/11

2:05 pm

I was on the 4th floor of a beach front hotel during a wind storm once. You could feel the building shaking. I can't imagine what it's like higher than that.

2:06 pm

in our windstorm on Sat night, our whole house was shaking and groaning and we're built into a hillside

2:06 pm

it was awful

2:07 pm

tidbit of the day: the CN tower in Toronto was made to be able to sway almost 4 feet in either direction near its top

2:07 pm

good news, crossy

2:08 pm

cold comfort, crossy

2:08 pm

urp...

2:09 pm

i was up in it once when it was first built.went up to the space deck above the restaraunt

2:09 pm

I've been on the 19th floor during an earthquake, and the swaying, while good for safety, is not good for the nerves.

2:10 pm

hi nrkii, indeed. Must be an awful feeling.

2:10 pm

I also was 7 stories up during an earthquake

2:10 pm

when I was doing a job with the NY Port Authority, I used to go up to the 82nd floor of the WTC at least once a month. As far as I could tell, none of my colleagues there died, but I went over all the lists

2:10 pm

San Fran, where else?

2:11 pm

wow, ruby

2:11 pm

is unwi** like getting a divorce?

2:11 pm

I supplied glass for the remodel at LGA

2:12 pm

yep and when you are past that, you are unwi**d.

2:12 pm

cool

2:12 pm

no,a unwife means no alimony lol

2:12 pm

and we used to have lunch at Windows on the World

2:12 pm

PB for dear Crossy

2:13 pm

darn..

2:13 pm

Hard to believe it's all gone Ruby.

2:13 pm

I could join him in the PB for a martini, I'm already eating mac and cheese and taking xanax for my anxiety

2:13 pm

I haven't been able to go back to manhattan, since

2:13 pm

mmmm,i can make my special crossy martini,s for us ruby

2:14 pm

sounds better than Xanax, even if you make them with vodka

2:14 pm

it's so poignant to see a movie now that was made pre-2001 that shows the towers - really jumps off the screen

2:14 pm

It's strange in that area now Ruby.

2:14 pm

yes, une

2:14 pm

have noticed a couple of times recently

2:14 pm

i will use gin got you

2:14 pm

me too Une

2:15 pm

my nephew has an apartment in the old police headquarters on Church St

2:15 pm

nice building

2:15 pm

I'm always aware of that, too, une

2:16 pm

..let see..3 ounces of ice cold beefeaters gin,1 sterling silver cocktail sword with 3 pimento olives and gently immersed in its gin coocoon and finally ,lean over the glass and whisper "Antonio Benedetto Carpano " and serve

2:16 pm

I would have sworn you could make an adjective from ri**

2:16 pm

Ruby what are you anxious about?

2:16 pm

yeah. Silly enable.

2:16 pm

as in, these stuffed peppers are good, but a little too ri**

2:16 pm

lol crossy

2:17 pm

unfortunately the anxiety gets generalized since 9/11. Never had it before that

2:17 pm

PTSD Ruby

2:17 pm

have you tried it with Bombay, crossy, I think it's better

2:18 pm

is that possible, so far away, hego?

2:18 pm

not a gin person,so i will let you pick

2:18 pm

bombay might convert you

2:18 pm

yup, the place was in your life, it was traumatic for you.

2:19 pm

all tastes like chanel No5 to me

2:19 pm

Generalized anxiety doesn't need a reason. It just is.

2:19 pm

true Molly

2:19 pm

<-- thought I was tougher than that

2:19 pm

ohhhh I found a mythical creature!

2:19 pm

DH doesn't believe in anxiety

2:20 pm

PTSD seems to occur especially in tough people

2:20 pm

believes in the tooth fairy, though, lol

2:20 pm

Denial, Ruby.

2:20 pm

indeed sprite! :-)

2:20 pm

lol Ruby

2:20 pm

*hugs Une*

2:20 pm

lovely, sprite, ty

2:21 pm

Nellie: PTSD -- http://tinyurl.com/3j6md

2:22 pm

we loves us some ruby :-)

2:22 pm

Ruby, I don't know if it's "your thing", but meditation is very good for generalized anxiety.

2:22 pm

amen to that, Molly.

2:23 pm

ahh found the mythical creature,irish rovers made a song about it

2:23 pm

:)

2:23 pm

Wow! The rain is almost horizontal now!

2:23 pm

I think I do something related to that, molly, just not "officially" meditation. I lie down, put a book on my chest, clasp my hands and semi-sleep. Does that count?

2:24 pm

it counts

2:24 pm

yep. Anything that brings you in that other brain rhythm

2:24 pm

ty, hego, are you stocked up with candles, food and bottled water?

2:24 pm

I let the doggies out quickly and was going to go to 7-11 & then decided I would be crazy to go for the 5 minute ride in this storm :)

2:24 pm

Rinsed out the coffee maker :p

2:24 pm

no kidding, jeff!!

2:24 pm

better stay safe, Jeff :)

2:25 pm

good idea

2:25 pm

I'm praying for all the people on the east coast.

2:25 pm

2:25 pm

I saw Lindhurst already under water two hours ago

2:25 pm

Lindenhurst*

2:25 pm

with all the prayers, bekki, there should be lots of protection

2:26 pm

A few miles-7-8 minutes so higher ground here

2:26 pm

my sister, in Forest Hills, is most worried about falling trees

2:26 pm

2:26 pm

I may have to weigh the dogs down lol

2:27 pm

Ruby, there is a drugless treatment for PTSD called EMDR. It was very helpful in helping me

2:27 pm

ty Sprite and congrats

2:27 pm

2:29 pm

Peri, Mom was on earlier and said Annie is riding out the storm in her apartment.

3:33 pm

Annie has not been here in the last hour or two

3:33 pm

ok, I saw that when I was on a while ago. thanks Molly. I do hope she stays safe

3:33 pm

3:34 pm

just read the chog -- sounds like the storm has made landfall?

3:34 pm

same 1st 5 mkg, cont. ending

3:34 pm

Annie may be without power. Mom said something about Annie's building turning off the electricity. I have no idea why.

3:34 pm

I live in a high rise years ago and in storms you could see the other buildings of the complex swaying in the wind. it was unnerving

3:35 pm

yikes, not good

3:35 pm

why would they turn it off? it is bad enough when it goes out on its own

3:35 pm

I think there is something wrong with him. He ha 5/12 all aspects of school.I think that he was born with the in6/18 ability to annoy all teachers.He looks at me with a sc5/12ful look all the time. I tried to be ni4/4 to him at first,but on4/5 he assaulted me and that was it.I believe that he practices sa 7/32 rituals every night. It is kind of ir 4/4ic because his mother is also teacher.Hubby wants computer. I am going to give the laptop to my hubby before we get into a he 4/5ed argument. I am going to change my ic4/5 for tomorrow. Then I am going to get out of this se 4/4 and go eat some Ta4/5s for dinner. Then I'm going to watch a Ki4/8fer Sutherland movie.I hope you have obta4/4ed more words w/this story. Goodbye. I'll see you manana

6:43 pm

high school art <3!!!

6:44 pm

well, elder stidkid is essentially on his own (not self-supporting, but living with a friend in exchange for his helping out) and the younger stidkid is age and stage appropriate *rolling eyes* but generally pretty decent. Pics of him on my blog from the homecoming dance last weekend.

6:44 pm

Hi stid, it's a little twisty, but very doable...

6:44 pm

SHURE! cawfee tawk and GAW-sip and all! LOL

6:44 pm

wow, i can't think the last time i visited the blog!

6:44 pm

I am really enjoying being in this classroom. Some great kids, and they are throwing themselves into it.

6:45 pm

WELL...i'm just sitting her hoping hubbynut(2) doesn't get deployed

6:45 pm

yikes! deployed? as in helping the people who didn't evacuate?

6:45 pm

or as in Afghanistan?

6:45 pm

stidder, your blog is no longer in your profile.

6:45 pm

my name dotcom :-)

6:46 pm

no, deployed as in army corps of engineers dam engineer...if something goes wrong with the storm

6:46 pm

that ol' KISS principle, you know?

6:46 pm

de5/14 any clues?

6:46 pm

oh, he's a dam engineer, is he? *wicked mama grin*

6:46 pm

bad, stid, bad. lol

6:46 pm

ha ha ha...the 'n' depends on if you work on the dam he's inspecting

6:47 pm

majmom...what you do to a plane in winter before take off....

6:47 pm

LOL well, high school today, right?

6:47 pm

6:47 pm

de + hardened water

6:48 pm

good clue BR ((hugs)) how are you? the storm(s) affecting you yet?

6:48 pm

Good morning from downunder. Hope all east coast friends are OK

6:48 pm

of course i recognized him. and she had such a pretty dress!

6:48 pm

Hope he is wearing more than an orange bowtie

6:48 pm

ooooh wind finally!

6:48 pm

she did -- she is also an artist (like you) and so she really "gets" color and proportion. She is a beautiful young lady.

6:49 pm

hey liz!

6:49 pm

rofl BR

6:49 pm

my aunt asked me today if drawing was relaxing for me, i said it was more of a necessity

6:50 pm

<-----!!FW..wa6/30 was my last...

6:50 pm

Congrats Jilly

6:50 pm

how so? the project of the week is drawing upside down (the Betty Edwards thing) and it's tricky -- but I am finding it calming as I do the assignment with them.

6:50 pm

YAY JILLY!

6:50 pm

congrats jilly

6:51 pm

i've heard that's a good exercise! i just started a free online design class through penn state.

6:52 pm

You tie your feet to the ceiling to draw upside down?

6:52 pm

that sounds like a great idea, nut! I am looking for some courses I can do from home too -- I need incentive to keep doing "something" even when I am tired from teaching all day.

6:52 pm

spot on bab rab

6:53 pm

almost BR... feels like I am upside down and inside out sometimes, anyway!

6:53 pm

look at coursera.com mama, they have free classes from lots of major schools

6:53 pm

More than I could muster ... even if I could draw at all.

6:53 pm

LOL...well stid...I am STILL working on completing my certification for youth ministry...*heavy sigh*

6:53 pm

thanks nut

6:54 pm

wow. like the idea of "creation of artifacts"

6:54 pm

And, evanonut...it is nice to 'meet' you!

6:54 pm

the next class i want to take is something about irrational thinking

6:54 pm

still, jilly? thought you had that almost done?

6:54 pm

that's the one i'm in, design:creation of artifacts in society

6:54 pm

ah, maybe you could teach that one, nut? *ducks quickly behind BR*

6:54 pm

wa6/33 anyone?

6:54 pm

fun, nut!

6:54 pm

i wrote the textbook ;-)

6:55 pm

Not even close, 2 out of 8 sections completed...others anywhere from 50-70% complete.

6:55 pm

rofl

6:55 pm

rennie edited it

6:55 pm

ah, how's ren these days? I miss her!

6:55 pm

wa6/30 not 33

6:55 pm

What is hampering me is that I have not had to compose college level writing for 30+ years...feel really stupid

6:55 pm

Our pirating adventures sort of fizzled out. *sad mama look*

6:55 pm

most we do is a few facebook messages to each other a month

6:56 pm

jilly, would be happy to offer distance tutoring if you want it.

6:56 pm

Is not irrational thinking rather a norm, if there is such a thing as a norm?

6:56 pm

yeah, big time my fault, i disappeared. i wasn't trapped in the house anymore.

6:56 pm

I like norm -- he's my favorite character in the entire bar...

6:57 pm

wa6/30=w+an5/10 (first one)

6:57 pm

LOL it's great nut! Off on your own adventures, sunny beaches, handsome man at your side...

6:57 pm

jilly, if you're in here, you're probably writing better than current students anyway. student writing is REALLY going down hill.

6:57 pm

LOL, thank you both evan and stiddy...

6:57 pm

didja see my yellowstone shots?

6:57 pm

aetna

6:57 pm

sorry

6:58 pm

I am going to reread some of the required literature in the evening in Hawaii...maybe the island life will relax my brain.

6:58 pm

no -- I missed those! you went to yellowstone? (very cool) I want to go there someday

6:58 pm

is that a plug for insurance, majmom, or a valid word *hopeful mama look*

6:58 pm

Yellowstone?? When were your there evan? I live 6 hours east of there...

6:58 pm

oh! it is, if you drop the A...

6:58 pm

sorry stid, not in today's grid?

6:59 pm

hawaii?? when? do you have room in your suitcase for me? which island? *envious mama look*

6:59 pm

i was there end of august, twas my honeymoon, was supposed ot meet blue and amy but it didn't work out

6:59 pm

jilly, required literature in hawaii...hawaii is for lusty shameful romances i thought

7:00 pm

Stid...we have plenty of room in the condo for you..fly to Kona between the 1st and 9th!

7:00 pm

to tag onto what nut said, jilly -- I am generally hypercritical of my own writing, college teachers are mostly complimentary when I think it's atrocious... you are probably the same way!

7:00 pm

kona coffee rocks

7:00 pm

Thanks evan ;0

7:00 pm

bummer. I have work in that timeframe... *sigh* I'll be thinking of you, though!

7:00 pm

Our oldest was working in Mammoth for the summer...did you perchance stop there?

7:00 pm

last time i was in school i was insulted by the submissions of my fellow students

7:01 pm

Yes evan, and we are there during the coffee festival!!

7:01 pm

i did stop there, and my in laws were working at old faithful in

7:01 pm

n

7:01 pm

good timing, jilly!

7:02 pm

Well, he was working in the grill, what were your folks doing at Old Faithful?

7:02 pm

they were working the snack bar!

7:02 pm

We spent our honeymoon in the park BTW....makes for good marriages evan! 31 years for us!!

7:02 pm

so they always had the best info on where to drive

7:02 pm

He was in the Mammoth grill

7:03 pm

ha ha, who knew! i never ate there though...and i was disappointed that it no longer looked like the post cards

7:03 pm

With divorce rate, there are fewer old faithfuls these days.

7:03 pm

The Inn grill, the one at Lodge or the one in the store?

7:03 pm

did you see the post card of the buffalo that fell into a thermal pool, escaped, and was then chasd by a grizzly bear?

7:04 pm

the one in the store

7:04 pm

*beams proudly* I know BR, we are VERY grateful...but we have WORKED at it...

7:04 pm

bab rab, i can proudly say i've never been part of the divorce rate

7:04 pm

lol br! but maybe we should say, with fewer old faithfuls, the divorce rate is up!

7:04 pm

The one owned by Delaware north or xanterra?

7:05 pm

cute, pastorj

7:05 pm

whoooo...hmmm...it was the nicer one to work for...lemme see if my hub can remember

7:06 pm

we think it was xanterra

7:07 pm

Ahhh, stopped in there for ice cream, but had lunch in the old Ham's store...

7:07 pm

did you get to see bee hive go by chance? a thousand times cooler than old faithful.

7:08 pm

E on the far right for NBT please?

7:09 pm

sorry, havne't got it

7:09 pm

Not this year, but have seen it several times. We frequently stay in the OF Inn, one room had a direct view of beehive...saw it one time then

7:09 pm

Have you ever seen Grand Geyser go off?

7:10 pm

ei + the coffee mentioned before minus a vowel!!!!

7:10 pm

rhymes with ic 4

7:10 pm

brb...

7:10 pm

i WISH i had seen grand, but felt so lucky to see beehive. you could feel the ground shake from it!

7:11 pm

clue for se 6 pls

7:12 pm

Good evening babblers, how is everyone this dark and stormy night?

7:12 pm

oh gee... thank!

7:12 pm

hi again all!

7:12 pm

I have birds on my hands now... hard to type

7:12 pm

i believe i shall call it an evening here!

7:13 pm

good night all

7:13 pm

se6 sounds like a de6 word that means what you do with wine from a carafe

7:13 pm

sweet dreams nutly!!! (((hugs)))

7:13 pm

ty Molly

7:13 pm

Hi sue

7:13 pm

Be well, evano

7:14 pm

hi wht!

7:15 pm

ok, se6 is in the physics babblets (it's a math word, but what the heck)

7:17 pm

thanks for that one sue!

7:18 pm

hi stid! I got it from molly's clue.

7:19 pm

Hi uusue! How is Frank handling 'the prep'?

7:19 pm

man, I didn't "get" molly's clue AT ALL. I am really tired -- slept poorly last night, woke up too early... long teaching day. LOL but thanks molly, too

7:23 pm

hi, jilly, he hates it.

7:24 pm

got the 8 though...

7:24 pm

and he had a giant attack of diarrhea this morning before he even started it so at the moment not much is happening...

7:25 pm

Well, NO one like it (or I'd be worried) but was concerned it would exacerbate his symptoms...

7:25 pm

yes, I am worried about that too. So far so good but we shall see.

7:25 pm

do we have lickety today? If so I will take a short nap and come back later to finish

7:25 pm

yes!!

7:26 pm

we do, stid, have a nice nap!

7:27 pm

okay, thanks -- down to 47 zzzzzz *poof*

7:28 pm

Are they using the one where you mix the laxative with gatorade? If not, I would suggest he drink some plain gatorade (or like electrolyte drink). It'll help support Na+ and K+ levels

7:28 pm

See you later stid..sweet naps!

7:28 pm

yes, they are, jilly, unfortunately he doesn't like gatorade

7:29 pm

Well, it really will help keep him from the dangerous consequences of the dehydrating effects of the prep.

7:30 pm

brb...

7:30 pm

indeed. and I will try to get him to drink some water once he finishes the first batch of prep

7:34 pm

I guess math clues are more "get-able" than wine clues. Who knew?

7:34 pm

Your wine did it for me!!

7:34 pm

well, I got the math word from the wine clue, so there :-)

7:35 pm

Strictly speaking, I guess I did too!

7:35 pm

Sue, you are so well rounded. : )

7:35 pm

Ha, that is more true than I would like it to be :-)

7:35 pm

Glad it worked for you too, Liz. : D

8:02 pm

Hi there crossy!!

8:03 pm

howdy jilly

8:03 pm

seems we are due for 130 k winds tonight,going to be breezy for ole crossy

8:05 pm

Wow!! Stay safe..

8:06 pm

Molly we're still on, though we've had a couple flickers - the last one caused the tivo to reboot :-)

8:07 pm

Glad to hear that dan2...how's miss bit dealing with it?

8:08 pm

she's a little scared of the big wind, but cuddled up with us

8:09 pm

We lost power for an hour or so this afternoon. So far that's it but right now the rain is pretty heavy and the wind still shakes the house from time to time.

8:10 pm

Daddy's are so reassuring!! We've also got gusty winds here...brrrr..

8:24 pm

8:27 pm

back from dog walk...

8:28 pm

Hi uu

8:29 pm

hi smores!

8:31 pm

Anyone hear from Molly?

8:31 pm

she was here a few minutes ago, bichon

8:31 pm

She was here a minute ago.

8:31 pm

how are things by you?

8:31 pm

I guess she still has power

8:32 pm

Ok, we have power but my daughter down in the New Haven area doesn't

8:32 pm

hi bich

8:32 pm

I used to live in East Haven right on the beach - glad I'm not there now!

8:33 pm

Things seem a bit less windy now but it is still raining. Lost power but only for an hour or so.

8:34 pm

wow! sue. There are people in East Haven who didn't evacuate and are stuck in flooded homes. They're told to go to the top floor of their houses

8:34 pm

pretty dumb. I was a graduate student at the time; the house was cheap to rent because it was a summer house and we were living in it in the winter, but I never would have stayed through something like this.

8:35 pm

have you spoke with your daughter bichon?

8:37 pm

only out for an hour, that's good wht

8:37 pm

I've heard they are being pretty tough on people who refused to evacuate.

8:37 pm

We were pretty lucky so far. But that doesn't mean it can't go out again.

8:38 pm

Maybe they don't evacuate because they are trying to win a Darwin award.

8:38 pm

well, it really puts the first responders in danger when they have to go pull people out of situations that they shouldn't have let themselves get into in the first place

8:39 pm

I agree Sue.

8:41 pm

clue for the mu7 please.

8:41 pm

everything still good your way Molly?

8:42 pm

mu7 is reminiscent of the stinky vegetable, wht

8:43 pm

ty sue. It amazes me how many words have that ending.

8:49 pm

may i ask about the stinky vegatable. not sure which one

8:49 pm

the one that makes you cry when you slice it

8:50 pm

oh, that's not stinky, it's stingy
