here you are ivesy,i am feeling poetic today so this is for your friend you lost and in response to your sailing icon.i borrowed bit of this and adapted a bit of it as well but it is still a nice poem and fits my thanks to Stephen Donaldson..please do not sue me:)))

7:15 am

"Let breakers crash against the shore -- let rocks be rimed with sea and weed, cliffs carven by the storm -- let calm becalm the deeps, or wind appall the waves, and sting -- and sting -- nothing overweighs the poise of Sea and Stone. The rocks and water-battery of Home endure. We are sailors, born to live, and bold for going where the dreaming goes. "Let world be wide beyond belief, the ocean be as vast as time -- let journeys end or fail, seaquests fall in ice or blast, and wandering be forever. Roam -- and roam -- nothing tarnishes the poise of Sea and Stone. The hearth and harborage of Home endure. We are sailors, born to sail, and bold to go wherever dreaming goes."

7:16 am

Would you believe I'm going into the field of mental health? My ex says it's the blind leading the blind. He may have a point but it's also one reasons he's my ex.

8:27 am

8:27 am

dare i mention that i once compiled two entire books full of tasteless jokes for a real publisher that publishes paperbacks full of tasteless jokes?

8:28 am

lolollllll ok that one made me lol

groan again !!

8:28 am

Laughing so hard I almost squit!

whahaha Gwen... must have been funny... for a page or 3...

8:28 am

I know right? the world's least offensive ethnic joke

8:28 am

and BR - the German have a whole word for it - schadenfreude

<hangs self with clue list> This is getting bad :P

8:29 am

LOL, Trif. Never heard that one.

8:29 am

What a disappointment this is. Bye

clues? you mean there's a game in this chat room?

8:29 am

I am going to take this tasteless opportunity to cut out. I have to get my work done and a full day of stuff to do. I wish you all a wonderful day! {{hugs}} all around!

8:30 am

BIG HUG my girl!

8:30 am

yes, schadenfreude. In dutch: leedvermaak. But jokes like you just told I heard from blind people... I think it is wonderful to be able to laugh at our own handicaps. Makes them easier to bear.'

8:30 am

(((car))) Thanks for the fun.

8:30 am

I agree sprite.

8:30 am

Oh, BR don't go. We're just being silly! And we've veered into dangerously politically incorrect territory.

8:31 am

I do feel bad for offending BR....

8:31 am

yeah. Sorry BabbleRabble. Done being tasteless. Promise.

i am a Unitarian Universalist and we joke about ourselves all the time. I am also the author-compiler-editor-publisher of a joke book about us

8:31 am

Nah, Trif....a sense of humor is a wonderful thing and those who do not have one are to be pitied.

(discount for babblers) hee hee

8:32 am

I don't think offense was meant by any of you. If someone chooses to take offense, that is their problem.

now, if i had published a joke book about scientology, they would have sued my ass off

8:32 am

Right on, Molly!!!

8:32 am

So, I guess this means doctor and lawyer jokes are a no go then.

8:32 am

Mimi, there are different kinds of senses of humour... we aren't all the same.

8:33 am

I really like your icon and profile essay molly

8:33 am

prro br.one day he will find out that everything in life should not be as serious as a heart attack

judi, are you harboring lawyer jokes? lol

8:33 am

It's not like any blind people are doing this puzzle, right? (Or is there a braille version?)

8:33 am

poor

8:33 am

I like doctor and lawyer jokes. And again, most I heard from doctors and lawyers themselves :)

8:33 am

whats the difference tween a lawyer and a trampoline?

8:33 am

Wait til I get started on my blonde jokes!

8:34 am

I have lots of lawyer jokes. I worked for them for seven years. The experience and the jokes are burned into my brain.

once i sold a used book, it had been self published, it satred with: List of Honest Lawyers, then the rest of the pages were blank

8:34 am

you take your shoes off to jump on a trampoline

satred=started

Lol I'm on my way to being visually impaired... but eh, humans are seriously the thing to laugh at, we're all individuals,

8:34 am

Not that serious at all, and certainly not a place we were put to sit in judgment on others.

8:34 am

hey, some people here take serious offense at chatters using abbreviations. And others at tasteless jokes. I think we are all different and we all have a right to being who we are.

8:34 am

*evil chuckles* DON'T. GET. ME. STARTED.

I'm also of black hertitage. bring it. lol

8:35 am

being able to laugh at themselves is one of the things I tried hardest in instill in my kids, right from the cot.

that being said, clue me baby one more time!

8:35 am

Right, MissO...humans are how I KNOW God has a sense of humor!

8:35 am

well put trif

who takes offense at abbrevs???? lol

8:35 am

lol Mimi! Too true.

whch abbrs? omg wtf? bbq?

8:36 am

lol Gwen... someone who's ignoring me now :)

8:36 am

think i will e mail br a bunch of dirty limericks

Mmm bbq

8:36 am

Mel Brooks once said, "Everything is funny." I would amend that to say, "Everything is potentially funny." It all depends upon your point of view.

8:36 am

this made me laugh this week: "This weekend, both the Twilight movie and Lincoln opened. One is a film depicting a dark time in our nation's history that we hope is never repeated. The other is about a president"

judi- unless you're blind, then you can't see sh*t.

anyone here see the other lincoln movie with the vampires? much better than it sounds

8:37 am

crossy, BabbleRabble has definitely a sense of humor. I feel bad when this turns to gossip... please?

:p

8:37 am

Totally LOL, Trif!! And I agree...Kristen Stewart couldn't act her way out of a paper bag...

<- leaving for hell right about now.

8:37 am

ok.will let it alone..let talk about bacon then

I saw it Gwen, it was ok.

8:38 am

TRif, that is funny. When people make fun of disabilities, inho, not funny.

8:38 am

I quote steel magnolias - laughter through tears is my favorite emotion

8:38 am

MissO---I'll be aboard right there with you!

8:38 am

lol, Trif. Not too long ago there was a trailer in the theaters for a movie entitled, "Lincoln the Vampire Slayer". Everyone in the theater thought it was a joke, but it was a real movie. God help us all.

no, not the bacon again!!!!!!! lol

8:38 am

we can talk about my sordid dating life.....

8:38 am

Trif, I agree :)

i saw the lincoln vampire movie. it was superb. seriously.

8:38 am

thanks crossy *hug*

8:38 am

oh yes trif..how is the hunky fireman??

8:39 am

more sordid details, Trif? Bring 'm on!

8:39 am

Oh, yes, Trif---dooo telll!!!

8:39 am

Arrrrgh. Oh, Gwen. Now we have to have you de-programmed. Next you'll be telling us that Santa is a werewolf.

8:39 am

wonder if trif washes her stockings on his abs?...lol

sn4,6, sl4,4 and the third qu5,16 please?

8:39 am

funny you should ask, crossy.....he is losing the race to the second guy I met, who I originally thought I had NO chemistry with, but who, it turns out, is WICKED funny, WICKED smart, and not a player, which I am starting to think Mr. Fireman IS. The game is definitely afoot!

8:40 am

I hope BR is still here. I would hate to lose his presence in Babbleland

8:40 am

MissO, I don't know qu5 which one you mean

8:40 am

me too, Annie. I think he will be back in a while. I hope so.

8:40 am

Buddhist guy is pretty much out of the running, has been replaced with photographer guy, who I have spoken with but haven't met yet (saturday) and then there is Rock Guy, who I am meeting Sunday. I am SUCH a little TART these days!

8:40 am

Trif, I used to have fun twisting the heads of those player types...they were never the same.

there's 4 qu5,16's sprite, its the third on licketys clue list

8:41 am

I am thinking that would indeed be fun, mimi, if I can admit to something so bold.

8:41 am

you are abusy girl trif!! you almost need a secretary to keep track of your dates;))

8:41 am

Trif, you rock! Nothing wrong with a nice bit of tartiness.

8:41 am

lol MissO... it was a CLUE ;)

8:41 am

hahaha - it's all in good fun, crossy - I think.

8:41 am

... qu5 ... ... not qu5 ... means almost

8:41 am

A Buhhist, a fireman, a rock guy and a photographer walk into a bar...

my brain hurts

8:42 am

I was thinking the other day I should keep a little ledger or something, so I can keep them all straight. THAT would be embarrassing!

8:42 am

Tarts are good...sweet AND spicy!

8:42 am

ALL of them are there to meet Trif....

8:42 am

lol,she has not put a saddle on one yet but she is definatly thinning the herd lol

8:42 am

giddyup!

8:42 am

Now THIS could get to be an offensive joke. : P

8:42 am

its a big change from being lonely, that is for sure!

8:43 am

if you are dating them, it would be nice if they are all straight indeed. Seeing how dating a guy is the only moment it really matters if he is or not ;)

8:43 am

Been there, done THAT sprite - LOLOLOLOL

8:43 am

LMAO!

8:43 am

Straight in what sense, sprite? (ho, ho)

8:43 am

*grins* wtg Trif my gal!

8:43 am

Oh yeah Trif, in the biggest way possible.

straight as a rainbow right here.

8:44 am

not getting back on that bus again, sprite, no WAY

8:44 am

poor mr. Hate.....clueless as always!

32. oh yeah.

8:44 am

Some things never change.

8:44 am

I think Trif is the one who is "wicked" here.

8:45 am

:( judi

8:45 am

Wicked is GOOD!!

8:45 am

Wicked in a good way, of course.

8:45 am

I am just trying dating, judi. I am not trying to hurt anyone, or get hurt. I never really dated much in my life. I thought it might be fun. It is, sort of.

8:45 am

Turn that frown upside-down, Trif!!!

8:46 am

I once interviewed a guy for a job. At the end of our chat he asked rather agressively: "And I am gay. Does that matter?" And I said: "As long as we're not dating, i couldn't care less." He got the job and later on he told me: "If I weren't gay, I'd started dating you there and then."

8:46 am

the mrs caught me looking too long at a lass in a store the other day..25 or so,legs that went on forever.after she cuffed me upside the head she called a a foolish old fart and that the woman i was looking at would eat me up in two bites,leave me on the floor to die and walk away putting another notch on her lipstick case..my beloved is most likely correct since all the lovely ladies under 30 now call me sir and ask if i need help carrying my stuff to the car..lol

8:46 am

Oh, Trif, the stories I could tell about my past....

8:46 am

LOVE that Sprite!

8:46 am

Trif, she meant wicked in the Bahston sense of the word. Wicked good, wicked smaht, etc.

8:47 am

Thank you, Molly. That is exactly what I meant. Wicked ahhsome.

8:47 am

yeah it was great. And the funniest part was, my mentor told me, after the initial interview, that my response was not at all professional and I shouldn't have given the guy that comeback. But the guy loved it. So there goes professionality for 100% of the time... go with your guts!

8:48 am

show of hands please ladies - who would look twice at Crossy? I know *I* would!

8:48 am

aww

8:48 am

crossy is shy

8:48 am

Crossy, I once caught my ex looking at a ravishing beauty at the mall....I just turned to him and said "in your dreams"

8:48 am

some in here would burn me at the stake i am sure

* has looked at crossy a lot more times than just twice *

8:48 am

Already said I'm crushing on crossy!!!

8:48 am

:))

8:49 am

no way, crossy. You rock. Elegant is lucky to have you. And vice versa.

8:49 am

sprite,did i ever tell you that you are my favorite?

8:49 am

lol

8:49 am

You can always be our boy toy, Crossy!

na4,4 and oa4,4 please?

8:49 am

lol

8:49 am

but seriously - I think the fireman is the one I have to be careful with.....he is SMOKING hot, but I have a feeling I could get mighty burned there. LOTS of chemistry, and that's great, but I just don't think he takes me seriously at all.

8:49 am

whahaha.... now you've done it, crossy! *waits for chat to explode over her head*

8:50 am

so you all watch out for me, okay?

8:50 am

na4 greek temples

8:50 am

Now the rest of us are jealous, crossy!!

8:50 am

... na4/4 ... rhymnes with a country in Southeast Asia

8:50 am

(personally, I am ignoring what crossy said, sprite - then it's not true)

8:50 am

Trif, trust your gut feelings. If the fireman is too hot to handle, don't. And go for the wicked funny and smart guy, if he feels good ;)

8:51 am

Trif---my email address is in my profile---use it any time---we can dish!!

8:51 am

I think both need the tincture of time, sprite.

8:51 am

but thanks

8:51 am

na4/4 is a babblet, add two more vowels, each different

8:51 am

thanks mimi!

8:51 am

crossy slinks quietly away to find a word or 2 in the grid....

8:51 am

... oa4 ... burnt bread for breakfast without the front "t"

ty got the na lovers

8:51 am

time is a marvelous thing, Trif.

8:51 am

I LOVE it when crossy slinks! look at him GO ladies!

8:51 am

I say have your cake and eat it too, Trif.

8:51 am

hmmm. not sure I am wired that way, judi....but maybe I should find out? :)

8:51 am

Judi, yayyy :)

8:52 am

I have been disgustingly good my whole life. Maybe a little bad would be good?

8:52 am

We'll have to rename him Slinky!

8:52 am

being careful is good. sometimes you do really regret things.

8:52 am

Trif, yes. But only as far as it feels good.

8:52 am

amen hurshy

8:52 am

To date is to sample.

8:52 am

Yep, Trif--the saddest two words in the language are "what if..."

8:52 am

hi hursh

8:53 am

are there any sm words?

8:53 am

"if only I hadn't..." are pretty sad too

8:53 am

tyvm for the book sprite.it worked perfectly through the we transfer program;))

I think the saddest two words are "no chocolate"

8:53 am

am glad, crossy!

8:53 am

good morning all

8:53 am

lolol miss O!

follwed by another t"wo "for you

8:54 am

and good morning bob

8:54 am

I've thought both, but learned so much from the "if only I hadn't." Though I must say I have VERY few "if only I had" times---mostly I DID!!

8:54 am

I think the saddest words are: no laughter

8:54 am

and now you have the best stories, right mimi?

8:54 am

lol missO... that is a terrible 4 words!

8:54 am

i no longer say what if.after some life scares i have my own bucket list and am at least half way through it

8:55 am

hi Mr Bob!

8:55 am

not to be course, but a VERY well experience friend of mine gave me some counsel - you might fill one hole, but you will find it leaves another wide open

8:55 am

Trif, sampling...I love it. Like a box of chocolates. : D

8:55 am

coarse?

8:55 am

good going, crossy.

8:55 am

... make sure you add ... "make a longer bucket list" to the bucket list

8:55 am

There ya go, dose!

8:55 am

lollll Trif... I think I have seen a picture of a lady who didn't have that problem at all, some day...

8:55 am

coarse, yes.

8:55 am

i have hot air ballooned,bungee jumped,gone cruising in a float plane,took a tour in a bi-plane,parachuted from 8000 feet and lived..next is a ride in a submarine

8:56 am

I love your list, crossy

8:56 am

Oh Trif, naughty statement. I love it. : )

8:56 am

already did cliff diving in my yough

8:56 am

youth

8:57 am

i am doing mine the other way, crossy - I have started a scrap book where I put in pictures and mementos of all the cool stuff I have done already, so, when I am feeling useless and wasted I can look through it and see that it has indeed been a wonderful life of accomplishment.

8:57 am

It's like women who get over one man by getting under another. : P

8:57 am

that is a brilliant thing, Trif!

8:57 am

There are things I would still like to experience, of course. But I would rather leave a book of things done than a list of things I didn't.

8:57 am

are there any SM words?

8:57 am

Good analogy, Molly!

8:57 am

I have heard that works for some people, molly

8:58 am

we weren't ready yet to chat SM, hursh, but we can start now if you want?

8:58 am

Hello, could I have a clue for the second st6/7 combo? Thanks

8:58 am

haha.

8:58 am

*snorts coffee out nose* That's one form of therapy, Molls!

8:58 am

Oh, we're being offensive again. The train for hell leaves in five minutes. All aboard!

8:58 am

and no, grin, no SM words today

8:58 am

I will admit, that when things with the professor heated up, suddenly the fireman didn't look so great....

8:58 am

jax - i think they are: chole****** is bad for you, clogs up your veins (and pl)

8:58 am

lol,i do not need to board,i am the guy taking tickets

8:59 am

that is called part of the selection process, Trif ;)

8:59 am

and, for the record, molly, a woman at my church, who is AT LEAST ninety, whispered that in my ear when she heard mr. Hate left me....!!!

8:59 am

LOL, crossy!

8:59 am

Variety is the spice of life....just don't let it give you heartburn.

8:59 am

Thanks Hurshy - I should have got those - i'm a chemist!

9:00 am

9:00 am

hi JaxH. Babble blindness... we all know it!

There are at least three piers on the isle of wight..must admit..you get bored of the piers after a while..lol...too many arcade machines on them.

12:50 pm

Take care, Nan

12:55 pm

Hi zooz...sorry was called away, so couldn't answer you.....now am trying to put an icon on my desktop......and yes my last latop died on me....any hints for putting it on desktop???

12:58 pm

I do not have a computer as mine has gone as well..so am using an x-box360 to play babble..lol

12:59 pm

Not sure, Flask..maybe right click the program and see if a list comes up asking if you to create an icon.

1:00 pm

It takes flipping ages to type anything on the xbox..so sorry for replying so slowly.

1:04 pm

Hey, don't worry....its nice chatting with you....when I right click it, it doesn't offer me the chance to forward it anywhere....

1:06 pm

Ok.. click start ..go upto the program and right or left click it and see if it gives you the option...i just cant sremeber anymore..lol

1:07 pm

ok..ah'll try it now!...bbs

1:11 pm

nah.....but its on my toolbar....so thats better than nowt!

1:12 pm

haven't seen you in a while zooz.....you been away?

1:13 pm

True..i am seeing my parents to morrow..i will ask them how they do it..and if i see you on here..will let you know...thats if you haven`t done it.

1:13 pm

thanx....yer a gent!

1:14 pm

Have had a few problems, Flask..needed to sort myself out..am getting there slowly..but getting there..lol

1:15 pm

well if you need an ear to listen....my email addy is on my profile...

1:15 pm

We're glad you're back Zooz. We miss you when you're gone. : )

1:16 pm

But trying to get a job after having a breakdown is not easy..no one wants to know..lol

1:16 pm

Aww thanks, Molly :-)

1:16 pm

Thanks, Flask!

1:17 pm

Zooz, do they have to know? You can explain a "break" in your work experience with something innocent like "took some time off from work to help my elderly parents".

1:18 pm

Well the bad thing for me is i have not been at work for a few years now..it is a large gap.

1:20 pm

True, Molly..i will have to resort to that if this continues..lol

1:20 pm

Ye.....the world has gone to pot these days.....if you don't fit....then folk just think they can just tell you without regard for your feelings!

1:21 pm

Maybe that you took time off to travel? I'm sure you could find something that would not put off a potential employer.

1:21 pm

You need to be very thick-skinned these days!

1:21 pm

too many unemployed..they can pick and choose..i suppose it makes business sense..not nice thouugh..but hey ho.

1:22 pm

Zoo, you absolutely should not reveal the breakdown....it's none of their business or anyone else's. Nothing to be ashamed of either, though. I am also here (my email in the profile) if you want to talk....psychology is my field but life was my real classroom!

1:22 pm

Yes, and unfortunately for many, the employers will pick the youngest, least skilled and those willing to work for a low salary.

1:23 pm

Thanks, MimiCat :-)

1:23 pm

You got it in one there, Molly.

1:25 pm

Flask, it is a dream of my life to visit Scotland...maybe one day!

1:26 pm

Well i have FW and 1821pts...time i do other things......very nice talking to you all..thanks for the kind support..take care, All.

1:26 pm

Hey , all, we had sooo much fun this morning in the chog...check it out and laugh like crazy!

1:26 pm

Well you'll get a very warm welcome...just let me know when.....

1:26 pm

bye zooz...:)

5:56 pm

Scrabs, The Free Clue Queen.

5:59 pm

I'm sure the grid changes overnight, when I'm not looking, otherwise how come words I looked for yesterday are there today :)

6:00 pm

I never used to put words in the chat.. now I do it almost every grid.. Not paying attention on my part

6:01 pm

The best part is when you can't figure out why your word didn't show up in your word list, and then you look over and see it in chat. : )

6:02 pm

Done that!!! :)

6:06 pm

Clue for sl 5 /14 pls - the final sl word

6:08 pm

nm!

I miss Licketys browser but I got a new computer and have Linux installed and it doesn't work on this one. Never typed words into the chat with that!

6:13 pm

gramma you can open it with this: http://r46.me/BabbleExpert20110410.zip

wow thanks you Bugsaw. I'll have to have my son look at it as I'm not up on how to install exe's on Linux. He does all that for me

6:15 pm

I am no use to you either gramma but for a long time, after my computer went nuts, I just tyed that to start the game.

6:16 pm

being a gramma is the best isn't it?

.It's my whole life! I have 13 grands

6:17 pm

Final 9 t's!

yeah I just took it to my son and there's no way to install it on linux :( but thanks anyway

6:18 pm

go Lizlin

6:19 pm

bummer... I wouldn't have as much fun without Lickety

lol it's still fun. I just try to remember where to type lol

6:20 pm

I wouldn't complete many (if any) without lickety!

6:20 pm

Wow GT, you are pretty young to have that many grands.

6:22 pm

So busy looking for plural words that I missed the 4 /5 - a singular!!!!!! :(

6:22 pm

te that should've read

I did that with the Q's ugh

6:23 pm

You're not the only one!

thanks Molly...I started at 17 and my daughter started at 18. My gramma was 13 and my mom was 14

there are 5 generations of women in my family all still perky and kickin ( :

we had 6 generation until about 10 years ago when my ggma died.

6:24 pm

Sounds like a long line of fun women.

6:25 pm

Hello :)

6:26 pm

4 left - all ty!!!

6:26 pm

Hi smores

6:26 pm

go lizlin go!!

well my poor gramma was raped by the 35 year old man she babysat for, so that was not fun, but my mom came of that. Her husband died when she was 23 leaving her to raise 3 kids alone. then she met my dad and his 4 and they had one together. She was 24 and a mother of 8. fun fun lol

6:28 pm

fw!!!!

my dad died 16 years ago and mom has been like me, single since and helping raise my brothers kids. My husband left me over 20 years ago and I raised mine alone and now helping to raise their kids

congrats Lizlin!

6:28 pm

YAY LIZ !!!

6:29 pm

ty - will be around for a few minutes to give any help, if wanted.

but all of my children are married 10 plus years and are still happy productive people! I am so proud of them. Plus I raised 5 fosters too

6:29 pm

wow gramma

lol I'll shut up now....just don't get to talk to many adults anymore :)

6:29 pm

Wow gramma! Am in awe of you!

6:29 pm

lol

I've had a great life. Last grandbaby is in school PreK but he is diagnosed with SPD, a form of Autism, is non verbal and may need lifelong care. I will be here til I die to care for him

6:32 pm

gramma, you have a nice spot next to the heavens waiting for you when it's time.

6:32 pm

{gramma} you certainly earned your screen name :)

thank God we live in Florida where there are many options for great care for him. I hope it stays that way.

awww thanks

I'm so blessed to have been able to retire to help my children care for their children. They take great care of me too! I raised some pretty special people lol. All but 3 close enough for me to be in their lives constantly! ( :

6:34 pm

Amazing story GT. Obviously there is a lot of love in your family.

6:34 pm

i don't think there is a more important job in the world then nurturing children. They are blessed to have you!

6:35 pm

You are very blessed gramma even with all the work

I love to share the story, because great love can come out of great adversity. Our tests become our testimonies!

yes I am

6:40 pm

6:54 pm

*waves bye at Molly*

6:54 pm

bye Jilly - enjoy your dinner

Check another box off my "Parenting Experiences" list. I now know what to do when my son breaks his nose.

7:26 pm

Oh no GE is he ok?

7:26 pm

none of them come with a manual and we learn along the way and by the time we know it all,no one will listen to us anymore lol

7:26 pm

It's a bloody awful experience, isn't it GE?

7:27 pm

crossy :)

7:27 pm

told my son to get out get a job,get married,get a house and have kids while he still thinks he knows it all

7:27 pm

howdysmores;))

good point crossy. He's okay. awful headache from probable concussion. Swollen and a bit out of alignment but he'll live.

7:28 pm

teehee.. my mom told me that

7:28 pm

how did he do it?

7:28 pm

what happened?

We'll go see and ENT when the swelling subsides to see if he needs an "adjustment". (OUCH)

7:28 pm

Poor kid. So you got the "concussion checklist". I've gotten that a few times in my many kid related ER trips.

7:29 pm

the adjustment is a tad painful(crossy has had his done twice over the years

7:29 pm

<-----adjusted my own...was not fun

He was rough housing at church group and got elbowed in the face (by the leader) *roll eyes here* Keep in mind he's 17 and bigger than the leader!

7:30 pm

ouch.that will do it

Good to know you have all survived the experience!

7:30 pm

evening all!

7:30 pm

He will probably develop some amazing black eyes too. He'll look like Rocky at the end of the fight. Whee!

7:30 pm

Hey 2Bit

7:30 pm

ouch, concussion for an elbow? must have hit pretty hard

7:31 pm

Good evening Babblers

True Molly. I think he expected that this morning and may have been a bit disappointed when they didn't appear. I told him to just wait.

7:31 pm

Ooh, is someone trading a concussion for an elbow? Sounds like in interesting trade. :^)

7:32 pm

ah yes, the double black eyes, added misery to the pain

7:32 pm

"Probable concussion" is cover your ass speak in the emergency room.

lol wht!

7:32 pm

*shudders at youth ministry horror stories*

7:32 pm

lol...wht..suppose to have been from not for

True again Moll!!

7:34 pm

LOL....actually I was the first one injured when I took over 5 years ago. Playing a relay game, I didn't get out of the way fast enough and got knocked backwards...all I could think was "I cannot pass out..."

7:34 pm

It's a great story though. "How did you break your nose?" "I did it at church group." (Person asking question gives blank stare)

7:35 pm

Had a teen with 5 stitches due to musical chairs....

I didn't find out til I got home at 11:30 last night. I didn't know if he need immediate attention or what so...I called my big sister! She told us to go to bed :)

7:35 pm

BRb

7:35 pm

lol...

My daughter tore her ACL playing tag this summer. Surgery in December. How many workman's comp case are caused by playing Sharks and Minnows?

7:38 pm

Torn ACL is a na5 injury.

8:01 pm

hi again all!

8:02 pm

Man, it's birthday madness at Sue's house.

8:02 pm

8:03 pm

8:05 pm

8:06 pm

thanks, leslie, that give me nbs (I haven't done much on this grid)

8:07 pm

Hello uusue, how did the clinic visit go today?

8:07 pm

ty got all o words for bottom line o.

8:07 pm

yw mkg

8:07 pm

ty got those sevens from lo and re.

8:08 pm

must get on with supper, bb at flip

8:08 pm

hi jill, it was rather sobering

8:10 pm

Oh no..sorry. Did they clear up the differing cancer diagnoses?

8:10 pm

Sober is no good. *Pours Sue a drink*

8:11 pm

not yet, they are going to have their pathologists look at his slides

8:11 pm

apparently the most important thing is that his cancer is poorly differentiated

8:12 pm

this means it is quite aggressive and hard to treat, and very likely to recur even with chemotherapy and biological therapy (both of which they are recommending)

8:12 pm

the chemo/bio treatment can be done locally, the U of C docs will consult with our local docs about that

8:13 pm

So very sorry uusue, how is Frank doing with this news?

8:13 pm

but if/when it recurs there is another treatment they can do during surgery where they pour chemo directly into his abdomen, this gets rid of the cancer in about 30% of cases

8:13 pm

crappy, as am I

8:14 pm

{{{{hugs}}}}

8:14 pm

we asked for a prognosis, which is of course a guess, but the doctor said he'd be very surprised if Frank survives 10 years, and surprised if he survives five

8:15 pm

so we are assimilating this, and deciding to live every day to the fullest, and fight with all we've got

8:17 pm

That is the best way to deal with it Sue. I'm sorry you two are having to deal with this difficult news. Prayers and blessings out for both of you.

8:17 pm

Uusue, I am so very sorry. But am glad you are embracing quality of life not just quantity. You know you have the support of all of us......

8:18 pm

thank you so much!!! and he still could beat the odds; we'll know more when we see how he responds to the chemo

8:18 pm

Then I'm putting all my faith in "Frank Beats The Odds".

8:18 pm

or perhaps I should call it chemo/bio.....

8:18 pm

Sue, I am so sorry to hear your news

8:19 pm

hi wht, thanks, it is hard to assimilate

8:19 pm

Frank doesn't really want to talk about it quite so explicitly but I figure I am safe with you guys :-)

8:21 pm

I know. I had a friend die of an inopperable brain tumor a couple of years ago. I know how hard it was for him, his friends and his family.

8:21 pm

I also remember that there were times when he wanted to talk about anything normal and not his disease.

8:22 pm

yes, exactly!

8:22 pm

And we are certainly here for you to talk out what you need to talk out uusue!

8:24 pm

thanks, Jill, I am sure I will be needing to talk as time goes on.

8:24 pm

You've got the best guys on the team and they're honest with you. I'm not sure you can do better than that. Their guessing is just that. You can't hold them to it. :) Attitude is a lot of it. Keeping an optimistic attitude can carry you both a long way.

8:25 pm

(I am updating the CaringBridge website now)

8:25 pm

exactly, sally! And I pointed out to Frank that if they tell you that you have a couple of months, things probably don't look very good, but if they tell you it's a couple of years it gets much more uncertain.

8:25 pm

As hard as that time was, there were blessings in it as well. You are in my prayers.

8:29 pm

{{Sue}} Just got back on and read through chog, so so sorry.

8:29 pm

thanks, wht! I really appreciate all the support I get from all the Babblers!

8:30 pm

thanks, smores! it is hard but we are determined to fight this.

8:31 pm

Sally is absolutely right, there are many people living long past their Drs. guesstimation. My BIL is one, he was given five years to live a little over 10 years ago.

8:31 pm

Between five and ten years is not a poke in the eye with a sharp stick either.

8:34 pm

5-10 would be good. The doc said 2-3 was more likely. So we are determined to be a surprise.

8:35 pm

also I figure they are finding new treatments all the time

8:36 pm

very true Sue

8:36 pm

That's how my hubby and I are thinking as well. Open to any testing groups that might come up for him and trying to enjoy the time we have.

8:36 pm

hey sue, just reading back. Sorry the news isn't better.

8:38 pm

hi Doren, me too, but at least we have some tools to work with

8:40 pm

yes, and the news certainly could have been worse

8:42 pm

Indeed, Doren; the bulk tumor is gone, which is good. Now we have to deal with stray cells. Frank's spirit animal is the wolf, so we are visualizing wolves fighting cancer.

8:44 pm

Smores!! I've missed you!

8:44 pm

hi mimi!

8:44 pm

sorry - on phone with my mom

8:44 pm

Hi mimiCat!

8:44 pm

Sue, was just going to tell you to keep fighting the good fight.

8:44 pm

Hi, Jilly!!

8:45 pm

thanks, mimi, that is exactly what we are doing.

8:45 pm

I can tell....you are an inspiration.

8:46 pm

Wolves fighting cancer... Why did Crossy come to mind when I read that???? I love the image.

8:46 pm

boy, I don't feel like an inspiration right now, I feel more like something the cat dragged in

8:46 pm

Crossy would have them fighting it over bacon!!

8:47 pm

I adopted a mom and baby wolf for Frank as a birthday present; we got a couple of stuffed animals for that and they are looking out for him now :-)

8:47 pm

(this was through Defenders of Wildlife). I reminded him that the moms are the fiercest fighters :-)

8:47 pm

I've actually worked with wolves, sue, and you've picked a wonderful animal to help you.....so wise and loyal.

8:48 pm

you have, mimi? that sounds fascinating!

8:49 pm

Yep...and lion and tigers...no bears.

8:49 pm

{MIMI}

8:50 pm

You should go to Isle Royal just north of the Michigan peninsula---it's a wolf sanctuary. I think they have guided tours.

8:50 pm

{{{smores}}}

8:50 pm

had to let the cat out....Sue, wolves are my favorite animal.

8:51 pm

Oh, that would be awesome! I told him that we should do everything we keep saying we are going to do, NOW, no point in waiting. Let me put that on the list!

8:52 pm

Also, Yellowstone reintroduced wolves into their ecosystem and they are thriving---and wild. Magnificent....but often hard to find.

8:52 pm

that's north of UP Michigan? His dad was from the UP...

8:53 pm

Yes, I think the Defenders of Wildlife fund some of the Yellowstone wolf reintroductions

8:53 pm

Yep...you could stay on Mackinac and take a boat over to the island.

8:53 pm

I've had 3 wolf mixes and worked with wolves at Wolf Park here in Indiana

8:53 pm

Definitely on the list. Sounds awesome.

8:53 pm

Where in Indiana, smores?

8:53 pm

They are awesome creatures.

8:54 pm

Aren't they amazing, smores? If you can really get accepted into the pack it can be very intense...and sometimes a bit scary.

8:54 pm

We are in Illinois; that could even be a day trip!

8:56 pm

Battle Ground, Ind

8:56 pm

I'm considering a trip back to Cincinnati in the Spring....maybe we could meet at smores' and all go together. Sound like fun?

8:57 pm

that sounds great! I love meeting babblers!

8:57 pm

It is more of an educational Park.

8:57 pm

I am all about education.

8:58 pm

Hey, find me a zoo and I'll give you quite an education...I can get animals to do things you'll never see otherwise...'cause I "speak the languages."

8:58 pm

You wouldn't believe how gorillas react to me!

8:59 pm

Sue, I was offered jobs at both Lincoln Park and Brookfield years ago.

8:59 pm

just googled it, Wolf Park is a three-hour drive from my house. Easy peasy!

8:59 pm

That would be an awesome trip

9:00 pm

If you are on their site check out the wolf/bison demos - pretty cool

9:01 pm

Heading out for the night. Love to all and special thoughts, prayers and hugs for uusue and Frank!

9:01 pm

When Frank wakes up I will show him the site and then we can look at it together

9:01 pm

night, Jill! Thanks!

9:01 pm

Bye, Jilly...sleep well.

9:03 pm

9:10 pm

Made my "famous" chicken paprikash today so am going to go have dinner. So good to connect with everyone. Nite {sue} and {{smores}} and all!!

9:10 pm

Hey Sue - there is another place in Southern Ind - it is a sanctuary - www.wolfcreekhabitat.org

9:11 pm

G/nite Mimi {hugs} great to connect with you as well

9:11 pm

Looking forward to our trip in the Spring!!!

9:13 pm

thanks smores, putting that one on the list too!

9:14 pm

oopss, sorry uu that one is Eastern Indy not Southern

9:16 pm

ok, that one's about 5 hours from us (we are in northern IL, due west of Chicago)

9:19 pm

My girls want to go there for spring break and stay in the teepees

9:20 pm

speaking of my girls, they are supposed to be in bed now. Be right back

9:22 pm

Hi all :)

9:23 pm

hey all ((((sue)))) ((((frank)))) *sigh*

9:23 pm

hi liz and stid!

9:24 pm

sigh indeed...

9:24 pm

Hey Sue - just read back in the chog - sorry your news today wasn't better. You must be having a hard time dealing with the brutality and suddeness of it all! Things might work out better than everyone is saying - who knows? Just make the most of every day. Thinking of you and Frank :)

9:24 pm

what a handsome young man your Leo is becoming! happy bday, suee

9:24 pm

sorry about the tyops. pretty tired today

9:24 pm

Happy birthday to Leo :)

did you work today stid?

9:27 pm

afternoon, small district, new one to me. Was glad it was a short day, some challenging students.

9:27 pm

But I think I got them figured out (record time, for me) and next time I see them it will be a lot smoother.

9:28 pm

thanks, liz, it's been a difficult day

9:28 pm

was it dry where you were mcurl? It was dry for me, but cold and windy

good. my biggest problem seems to be keeping my groups focused on the task at hand and not worrying about someone else doing whatever.

It rained a little off and on all day and it was cold and windy

9:30 pm

oh oh oh! I had that ALL DAY yesterday, but really bad in the afternoon -- primary grade that one, they were so focused on what other people weren't doing right that they weren't doing their own work... grumpy Mrs. S made them ALL put their heads on the desk and BE QU5 for 60 seconds.

9:30 pm

I did find it helped some of those students to encourage them to model the best behavior.

9:30 pm

:-)

My "threat" was to send them back to class early so the classroom teacher knew they were misbehaving. This time period (next 2 weeks) is just hard to get through regardless of age at the elementary level

9:33 pm

that's a reasonable threat. And yes, all the experienced teachers were saying things like "full moon" and "weather change" and the principal mentioned "impending holidays"

9:34 pm

ha. NBT

9:34 pm

yay stid!

Hey all, here to clue if anyone needs it Xx

9:35 pm

sue, are you doing okay? I was so hopeful the news would be better. If you and Frank come visit, you can help make jams and take home as much as you like!

9:35 pm

hey missOmnibus!

hey stid, sue, mcurl everyone :D

9:35 pm

I am, as the brits would say, gobsmacked, stid

9:35 pm

so is Frank

9:36 pm

hi omni!

9:36 pm

I would be, too. I would smack the gobs back....

9:36 pm

yeah, I am working on getting the energy to do that

reminds me of gobbstoppers.... now i want candy

9:37 pm

completely off topic, but did you see the pic of the actual double helix they took? http://tinyurl.com/cozhkyy

9:40 pm

that is very cool, stid!

9:41 pm

I thought so, too! Now we just need a good pic of "dark matter" and we'll have it all figured out. *naiive mama look*

9:41 pm

Well, there are maps of dark matter, done using gravitational lensing in colliding galaxies

sorry, jumping between websites! His MissO!

9:43 pm

so clever! but how did they get accelerators big enough to collide galaxies? *envisioning CERN-o-rama

9:43 pm

http://tinyurl.com/bvvpysu

9:43 pm

don't have to, the galaxies collide all on their own :-)

9:44 pm

wow. that is an amazing article. thank you so much!

9:45 pm

:-)

9:46 pm

sue, sometimes I have dreams about large metal tanks, with eery blue light emanating from them. I think about that movie cocoon and wonder if the blue light would make us all healthy. And then I wake up. *sigh*

9:47 pm

I am, apparently, the worst doggy-mama in the world because I think Lucky can wait another 13 minutes for his "nine o'clocks" (which retain the name even though the time change means he gets them at 8...)

I sent in a list of random facts ages ago to Mr President for the licketys babble clue list... but it has been yet to appear. this makes me sad.

9:49 pm

oh, I don't know if the random facts will happen, things are pretty rocky back there I think. You could post them at BabAnon, if you like?

9:49 pm

Hello to my fellow babblers! How is everybody doing today

9:49 pm

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Way to go!

9:49 pm

welcome to the grid, Min!

9:50 pm

I am good -- taught only a little while today, but was in the right location to purchase some lovely handmade tortillas. :-) win-win, in my book!

hey min :) oh i see stid

9:51 pm

Thanks so much stidmama!What grade did you teach today

9:52 pm

7 and a 4/5 split. A nice combination of ages/abilities. A few challenges, but nothing that made me want to leave teaching!

9:53 pm

Don't come work in my school stidmama. That could do it!

9:54 pm

There has only been one classroom where that happened in the last couple years, Min. But I know enough to know that I will find a school that is a perfect fit! And tomorrow I get to judge high school debate, which makes all the standing and waiting for kids to write their names on their papers worth while...

9:54 pm

hi min~

9:55 pm

*challenging stid for the worst-doggy-mama title*

9:55 pm

Hi uusue2! How are you? Happy Birthday to your son today!

9:56 pm

*pulls out the arm-wrestling table*

9:57 pm

LOL okay, Jeopardy is over, time to pack up and go get the kiddo -- I now have a day in January already scheduled, and a half-day next week morphed into a full day today. It's a good thing! :-)

9:57 pm

11:59 pm

MissOmnibus, I hate to sound like a jerk, but I haaaaate the abbreviation of my name (embarassed look).
