thank you

4:24 am

Not a word I have experienced anyone using

4:25 am

A raven or crow.

4:32 am

Hello, Haz. Are the protesters near you?

4:35 am

Hello, BabbleRabble. I was away looking at e-mails.

4:37 am

The main body of protest is in Belfast, about 30 miles away. They're reckoning that about 250 people have been involved but they've succeeded in making an utter nuisance of themselves.

4:42 am

Glad you are safe.

4:43 am

I'm fine but it's infuriating that those images are broadcast throughout the world.

4:44 am

They emphatically do not have the support of the vast majority of people. What was supposed to be peaceful protest has been hijacked by recreational rioters and professional thugs.

4:47 am

What about you, BabbleRabble? Are you in reasonable form these days?

4:55 am

I'll head off to get some chores done. Enjoy the grid, bye all.

6:06 am

good morning my babble friends

Morning, all! Here's another funny demotivator for you from despair.com. Picture: A campaign podium. Caption: Change. Text: Politicians are like diapers. They need to be changed often and for the same reason.

8:24 am

oh see why you were looking for toast, should've put a comma in there

s'ok, it would appear you are referring to the pastries

I am stuck on two of the c's, first is co5/14, please?

8:31 am

For those who missed it earlier, here's demotivator of the day. Picture: A campaign podium. Caption: Change. Text: Politicians are like diapers. They need to be changed often and for the same reason.

8:32 am

Amen to that, Mimi.

8:35 am

<----adds some nice br4 to pb to go with champagne and ta5

8:36 am

I'm a bit sad today. Don't know if any of you remember the domestic abuse victim in my apt. bldg. a month ago. He was taken to jail and the apt. complex said he must be off the lease. Well, he came back last night. Will be waiting for more screams at midnight, I guess.

8:37 am

:(

8:37 am

Are they allowing him to stay?

8:38 am

I feel so sorry for abuse victims. Hope they both get some counseling.

8:39 am

They don't know yet but I'm going to tell them when the office opens. Sometimes people need to be saved from themselves, I guess. I don't know if he has been back longer and I just didn't know it or now. My neighbor across the hall knocked on my door at 8 and told me she saw him just walk on up to the door and use a key.

morning all and how many today and thanks

8:40 am

Morning Steve 118 :)

8:40 am

118

thanks again

8:40 am

I've seen so much of this in counseling, smores, and more often than not nobody gets any help. I did counsel her that night after the police left but I'm never surprised when the guy comes back. We'll see what the office does. She'll probably lie and say he's not there. Their hands are kind of tied.

8:41 am

:( very sad...

8:41 am

my sister-in-law is getting help. it remains to be seen whether her husband can change, but if not, she will divorce him.

8:42 am

good for her Hurshy

8:42 am

Yes, indeed. I went through that myself at age 25 but was lucky I was able to kick his butt to the curb.

8:43 am

she has had to go through this AND breast cancer at the same time. i really feel for her.

8:43 am

only been hit by a man once, he's 1st and last time

8:43 am

So glad to hear it, Hurshy. No one has to put up with that crap. Generally, if it happens once, it will happen again and again, escalating in severity each time. Is she still living with him?

8:43 am

no, they are living separately while undergoing counseling.

8:43 am

Wow, she has a lot on her plate---and, therefore, so do you. Will hold a good thought for both situations.

8:44 am

well, she's just finished her treatments so she's feeling happy right now.

8:44 am

ohh Hurshy that is awful, going through either is more than enough. This is a time when she REALLY needs his love and support

8:45 am

So glad she is getting help though. Is he also going to counseling?

8:45 am

When it happened to me I lived in an apt. complex and a former boyfriend lived there as well as a cop and a hockey player. One night they heard a woman screaming in the pool area and all three of them thought it was me and they all came out with baseball bats and the like ready to clobber the guy!

8:45 am

yes it's joint counseling. it seems unlikely he will change, as he is a complete narcissist, but, one can always hope.

8:46 am

LOL...great they had your back Mimi

8:47 am

well, at least he is going, hopefully it will help, if not, glad she is ready to move on.

8:47 am

Like you, it was the first and last time for me. When I met my husband (now ex) I told him if he ever laid a hand on me in anger, they'd never find his body!

8:47 am

*wondering where mimi hid the body*

8:47 am

That's really funny, too, because he's 6'3" and I'm all of 5'5".

8:48 am

Good for you, Mimi. Best to draw that line right up front. Amazing how many women cave to the abuse tho.

8:48 am

I'll never tell, hurshy!

8:48 am

LOL...I reminded mine of our construction company friend....told him he would be buried under concrete at their next site :)

8:48 am

Bodies of ex-abusers make good compost.

8:48 am

There ya go, Judi!!

8:49 am

bring out the wood chipper lol

8:49 am

Of course, I was all talk. I'm so nonviolent it isn't funny. But it is amazing how many of us have thought about that!

8:49 am

*can hear mimi's whip cracking*

8:50 am

I am now, wasn't back then :)

8:51 am

When our marriage was nearing the end, I used to fall asleep nights thinking of ways to kill him and get away with it. The best one was stab him in the heart with a big icicle so there would be no weapon to be found and then...out into the desert in various locations, if you get my drift.

8:52 am

We are so much better at being divorced than we were at being married. We're quite close now. I'm glad that the 23 years wasn't completely dismissed. The kids are glad we're friendly.

8:52 am

I had an ex-boyfriend steal my dog after we broke up. Couldn't proof anything, but I knew he did it. Ran into him at a bar shortly after and it took 2 bouncers and the bartender to get me off of him. Never got my dog back, but he had to get several stitches.

8:53 am

Dang, smores!

8:53 am

LOL...love the icicle plot Mimi, glad you guys are friendly now.

8:53 am

Love it, smores! NEVER get between a woman and her dog!! I would have stalked him and grabbed the dog while he was gone.

8:54 am

He deserved a concussion!

8:54 am

Really loved my dog Judi :)

8:54 am

Hell hath no fury... You go, girl.

8:54 am

you are reminding me of the roald dahl short story "lamb to the slaughter"

8:55 am

lol...he may have had one, broke a beer bottle over his head

8:55 am

and lets just say he may not be able to reproduce...lol

8:56 am

Fortunately, that ex didn't want or try to hurt my cats or I surely would have done something evil. Reminds me of a movie where a bounty hunter type says "It's just my job to judge him...just to introduce him to God."

8:57 am

Whoa----right on, girlfriend!! Wow, we're all a bit feisty this morning!

8:57 am

I meant, "not" my job to judge him.

8:57 am

I'm much calmer now though, can't imagine doing anything like that now, except of course in self-defense.

8:57 am

love it Mimi...teehee

8:58 am

I use words as my weapons, smores, and I can really do damage...trust me.

8:59 am

i haven't got any weapons.

8:59 am

I bet :)

8:59 am

none Hurshy :)

8:59 am

Oh yeah. If anyone hurt my animals (or my husband for that matter), I would turn into a tasmanian devil.

8:59 am

I like the line "I hate to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed person."

8:59 am

except maybe crying

9:00 am

I am sooo opposite of my younger self, it's kinda funny

9:00 am

LOL Mimi, I have used that line...love it :)

9:00 am

aww hurshy

9:00 am

The mother instinct is very strong in most of us, I think, Judi---toward anyone we love.

hagd and happy babbling, all

9:01 am

well, luckily have a nice husband, so don't need weapons in that regard.

9:01 am

Bye, TO!!

9:01 am

Bye TO enjoy the day :)

9:01 am

:) hurshy

9:02 am

I have no husband now or ever again....sooo happy about that. To paraphrase an old t-shirt saying "The more I see of men, the more I like my cats."

9:03 am

reading back on the abusive relationships.my mrs was dating a woman beater before we started dating.she tried to break with him and she had her first date with him.next day she showed up at work with bruises on her arms so i drove her to her mums and paid her for the day anyways and went to "talk" with the boyfriend.the poor guy.while we were talking he tripped on the stairs and hit his head,and when i went to help he was hit in the stomach by the hand rail and if i did not just help him up and lo and behold he fell and got a black eye.i advised him that maybe he was having a bad day and to perhaps try being a single guy for a while and stay health.he agreed with me and i helped him back to his front door.the scars however can take time to heal.took over a year before i could hug my beloved without her flinching,and that was the real cost of it all

9:03 am

I feel very fortunate to have a sweeheart of a husband.

9:03 am

Hey, I'm 61....that ship has sailed and a bon voyage to it! Had a lot of wonderful men in my life (and a couple of stinkers), but done now.

9:04 am

i love my cats ever so, but one of them has terminal kidney failure. if i didn't have my husband i don't know how i could handle this hard time.

9:05 am

Hi, crossy! Yep---emotional scars can take a long time to heal. I still have some stemming from when my mother left me at age 5 and never came back. Luckily, I ended up with fabulous parents and am so grateful.

9:05 am

Crossy, do you wear a cape or do you just stay in your mild manner disguise all the time?

9:06 am

i am sorry for your sick kitty hurshy

9:06 am

name that proper noun - hitler's lady friend

9:06 am

me,judi? i am just a regular fella

Hey, for those of you who just joined us, here's the demotivator I posted earlier. Picture: A campaign podium. Caption: Change. Text: Politicians are like diapers. They need to be changed often and for the same reason.

9:07 am

Sorry to hear about you kitty, Hurshy. One of my fluffs succumbed to that a little over a year ago.

9:07 am

I'm back, had to let the dog out.

9:07 am

typo, crossy...

9:08 am

her and ole adolph finished life in a bunker sucking on the barrel of a hand gun

9:08 am

One of mine has seizures about once a month but is always fine after....so scary. I'm still not over losing my Germand Shepherd 7 years ago...lymphoma.

9:08 am

it is hard to lose a pet:(

schweiger

9:09 am

We've all been there. So hard to lose the fuzz balls. Wish they could live forever.

9:09 am

fur babies indeed

9:09 am

I'm convinced that the spirit of my dog sent me the first of my 3 stray cats....No, I'm not all "woo woo" just spiritual.

9:10 am

"woo woo"

9:10 am

well, at least i'm doing real well with the grid. only need 2 C's, 2 P's, 1 M, 1 T

9:10 am

yes, losing a pet is very rough

9:11 am

it's stupid they have bereavement days for family but not pets.

9:11 am

agree hurshy, my pets are family too

9:11 am

meant *our

9:11 am

I would take a couple of sick days...honestly. My Nikky was like my fourth child.

9:12 am

Hi crossy :)

9:12 am

i already took 2.5 just from finding out the diagnosis. i'm planning to take more when the time comes.

9:13 am

Yes MIMI Shadow, the dog that was stoled, was like my kid

9:13 am

*stolen

9:13 am

just found a nice st6/18= layers of rock or earth. does not show up in the grid too often

9:13 am

marty is my little love...

9:13 am

howdy smores

9:13 am

he's just a bit of love, wrapped up in fur.

9:13 am

It helps that I believe animals have spirits, too. I've worked with so many exotic animals and have seen how easily they go to God....it's like they know it's good on that side and aren't afraid.

9:14 am

Morning all. Help with the last two co6.21

9:14 am

take the time you need hurshy.we only go through this life once and love is one of our best defining atributes.you work to live,not live to work

9:15 am

the last one is co6 ten boom, whose family hid jews in holland during the holocaust

9:15 am

Beautiful, crossy. Well said.

9:16 am

{{hurshy}}

9:16 am

thanks for the st crossy

9:16 am

np:)

9:16 am

{{car}}

9:17 am

especially my job which involves a lot of sitting here doing nothing.

9:17 am

If you want a laugh, car, check my demotivator post at 9:06.

9:17 am

yeah, leave way to much time to think Hurshy

9:17 am

Hi car :)

9:17 am

i would give anything to have work i liked.

9:18 am

Ooooh...yes, too much time to think. I only visit my own brain....don't like to spend a lot of time there!

9:18 am

well not ANYTHING, but, i would really like to have work i liked.

9:18 am

and now it is time for crossy's tidbit of the day!!

9:18 am

I would like to get paid for not working.

9:18 am

lol...Mimi

9:18 am

Studies in space have shown that birds cannot survive in weightless environments since they require gravity in order to swallow food.

9:18 am

wow...didn't know that crossy :)

9:18 am

life is funny like that hurshy.i spent 30 years doing a business i loathe

9:18 am

clue for the pe6/24 please

9:19 am

judi - i would too if i could be HOME but to have to sit here instead of there for no good reason when i just want to be with marty... it's torture.

9:19 am

lol...Judi

9:19 am

Gravity is no longer MY friend, crossy!

9:19 am

lol

9:19 am

cool.girl - hoist on his own pe6

9:19 am

ty hurshy

9:19 am

pe6 - pe + most of to be late

9:20 am

Thanks for the last co6

9:20 am

and even without that, i just get so tired of feeling useless.

9:20 am

ty

9:21 am

pirls

9:21 am

never feel useless Hurshy, you most certainly aren't :)

9:21 am

sorry

9:21 am

Sorry, popping in and out! Hello everyone!

9:21 am

I'm sure we all relate, hurshy. I developed a weird knack for becoming very good at occupations I hated....what's up with that?!! Smores is right, hurshy, WE appreciate you!

9:23 am

yes, we can all get stuck with jobs that feel useless, but it certainly doesn't mean we are

9:23 am

To use my new word, being at a job you hate is "frippin'" awful.

9:23 am

That's called work ethic, Mimi. Even though you might not like that job, you still feel obligated to do it well. I'm the same way. I still reserve the right to whine about it.

9:23 am

And I found the co6 after the snake.

9:23 am

np cool.girl, next time make it a word I don't have :)

9:23 am

thanks guys.

9:24 am

{{ hurshy }}

9:24 am

when my husband finishes school i'm thinking i'll go back myself and go into something new. i'm considering nursing, or ministry.

9:24 am

We're here for 'ya, babe!

9:24 am

<---- wishes I could get paid to Babble....

9:25 am

Afraid I wouldn't even make minimum wage, car!

9:25 am

that's sounds wonderful hurshy

9:25 am

me neither Mimi, but it sounds good :)

9:26 am

Good for you, hurshy! I went back to school at age 60 and it was absolute heaven.

9:26 am

maybe smores but sigh, who knows how long it will be. he says he's hoping to be ready to go on the job market next year (meaning another 1.5 years at this job for me) but i have my doubts about whether he will not take another year beyond that.

9:26 am

what did you go back to study mimi?

9:26 am

In the meantime, girls, keep playing that lottery!

9:27 am

Psychology...want to go into counseling. My ex says that's the blind leading the blind. He may have a point but this is one reason he's my ex.

9:27 am

Hey Hurshy, are there any animal shelters in your area? There are some here that always need volunteers.

9:28 am

ah well if you can do a good job at it that is a very valuable thing. my counselor is fabulous.

9:28 am

lol...Judi...bought my ticket :)

9:28 am

smores, if i didn't have a job, i could do volunteer work, but as it is, i don't really have the time.

9:28 am

Me too, smores. I told my hubby if I win, we're moving to New Zealand.

9:29 am

Yeah, I wish I had more time, but it is definately a huge spirit lifter :)

9:29 am

though never did go the animal shelter route, thought it would be too hard. used to volunteer a bit at library, at crisis pregnancy center... tried domestic violence hotline but couldn't sleep after just one training session.

9:29 am

You could go to school online, hurshy. That's what I did...University of Phoenix. It's wonderful...they have an extensive library right there online and you could take a class or two while still working. It's so stimulating and you're in class with people from all over and the discussion are invigorating.

9:30 am

but my sister, who recently divorced HER abusive husband, is starting to volunteer for a domestic violence hotline.

9:30 am

ooo..that sound nice Mimi

9:30 am

The Food Bank is a good place to volunteer.

9:31 am

oh i have been considering that mimi - i actually applied and was accepted to an online program but the money thing was stressing me out so i deferred at least until summer. good thing i did given what is happening now with marty.

9:31 am

as much as my heart goes out to abuse victims, I don't think I could do it either hrshy.

9:31 am

Being in school again totally reinforced my self-esteem.

9:31 am

Yes, Judi, food banks are awesome places to volunteer

9:32 am

I took out fed loans and got a good Pell grant...haven't paid one cent yet.....since you don't have to pay them back until you're out of school, I figure at my age I can just stay in school forever!

9:32 am

I don't think I'd do well volunteering at an animal shelter. I'd want to take them all home with me.

9:33 am

well, I hate to leave good company, but I must go.

9:33 am

lol...Mimi

9:33 am

I must leave too.

9:33 am

Bye everyone!

9:33 am

Have a good one, smores! Good lucky with the job!

9:33 am

{{smores}} {{car}}

9:33 am

Toodles, smores and car.ee.

9:33 am

yeah i filled out the FAFSA and it looks like i have just enough money not to qualify for those loans, but not enough to make ME feel at ease about spending thousands of dollars...

9:35 am

So sorry, hurshy. Life can be a real b***h. There are Sallie Mae loans you could look into.

9:36 am

12:52 pm

hello all!

12:52 pm

hi jilly! :3

12:52 pm

How are you?

12:53 pm

hi Jilly! How are you today?

12:53 pm

Exhausted. Coudn't sleep last night and had to be up way early to work in Outpatient Surgery. 3.5 hours sleep... :(

12:54 pm

ooh. That's miserable

12:54 pm

relax and enjoy your babbling!

12:54 pm

And maybe take a nap...

12:54 pm

yep.

12:56 pm

I was up babbling at midnight...

12:57 pm

"but i take it that you survived the early am surgery okay no falling asleep on the job or anything.." was not found in the dictionary (as you can see; I'm chatting in the wrong bos again)

12:57 pm

LOL, not a chance. Don't work that often in OPO, so the computer stuff is a hassle. Patient care easy peasy.

12:58 pm

that's good. Are you done for the day now?

12:58 pm

And only had to work 5 hours. LOL, figures, I was doing a good deed for a fellow nurse who had a bad drive home yesterday; Iet her sleep in.

12:59 pm

that was nice of you! :-)

12:59 pm

did she have an accident or something?

12:59 pm

What I wouldn't have given to sleep in!

1:00 pm

No accident, was driving back from Boise and roads a nightmare...took her forever.

1:00 pm

oh, thank goodness she made it then!

1:02 pm

I lost a little neice many years ago due to black ice along the rattlesnake river. My brother hit it and flipped the truck and lost my neice and his dog. We (here in MN) didn't know what black ice was back then....

1:02 pm

If she'd of been in an accident, I would have worked her full shigt (despite not doing well with 12 hour shifts)

1:03 pm

so she slept in and then came in for the rest of the shift? Wow! The perks of a smaller hospital!

1:04 pm

That is one nice thing...

1:07 pm

And the perc of working with over 50 age women.

1:08 pm

you don't think younger nurses would do that? (Or would they take a day off sick instead?)

1:09 pm

;)... the latter...or actually, just not return home that day.

1:09 pm

See; that's where I'd be; stuck somewhere between boise and home

1:10 pm

tonts

1:10 pm

There's not too much between Boise and here. LOL

1:10 pm

sorry (on phone; not a word either)

1:11 pm

ttl poof!

1:11 pm

Ya, I know...I had to try it...

1:14 pm

okay. I thik it's crazy how elections aren't for another year or two and they're already asking for campaign financing!

1:14 pm

They are in the whole for the last one....

1:15 pm

this one isn't. They wanted a committment of $10/ month for the next 2 years!

1:15 pm

Yeah; sure; I have money to just give away! (WHAT A LAUGH!!!)

1:16 pm

Sheesh!

1:17 pm

I like this politician; but not that much.

1:19 pm

I don't like any of them that much....

1:20 pm

re the grid: I doubted that I'd get 25 words off that B; but I'm over half of that now. However; 5 words from that F??? I don't think that is possible

1:20 pm

1:20 pm

daughter needs help with homework...be back in a bit

5:49 pm

Good morning :)

6:08 pm

Hello all. Just starting and have a soup on the stove for dinner.

6:08 pm

Hi stidg - thought I was here alone :)

6:10 pm

Hi liz. Sometimes the chog is very, too quiet.

6:10 pm

Sure is!

6:10 pm

Tonight is orchestra practice. I need to be in form for that.

6:11 pm

So get brain in order with finding a few words? LOL!

6:11 pm

Nimble fingers through typing!

6:11 pm

Yes. This is so good for the grey cells and the fingers need sufficient exercise, too.

6:12 pm

How are the collecting expeditions going? Good drift wood and shells?

6:13 pm

Haven't found much recently but will go looking again soon. Shells are funny - seem to be seasonal! It's really hot here at the mo (though not like in the fire areas) and our car / trailer hasn't got ac at the mo!

6:13 pm

homework and pie complete :)

6:13 pm

Hi smores :)

6:14 pm

Hi Lizlin :)

6:14 pm

the word pie kept staring at me so I had to make one...lol

6:14 pm

The terracing project has come to a halt until it cools down a bit!

6:14 pm

It makes sense for the shells to be a seasonal treasure. We are getting ready for possible snow in the next couple of days. Wish we could share our soup with you smores and have some custard pie for dessert!

6:15 pm

Haven't found any use for the ium ending yet - seems a bit of a waste.

6:15 pm

Are you using machinery or small tools for the terracing?

6:15 pm

Most of our snow melted today...soup still sounds yummy though :)

6:15 pm

Just the husband!

6:16 pm

didn't think about shells being seasonal until we started collecting, nor did I realise how much the beach changes over time until I moved here!

6:16 pm

Hope hubby has a good back and thick gloves!

6:16 pm

I commented earlier that this grid is awful if youre on a diet, lots of food words, both real and phantom...lol

6:17 pm

I was reading that Boston has had its January thaw already. Are you part of that smores?

6:17 pm

He's doing well! I join in with the artistic design bit!

6:17 pm

No, I am in Indiana

6:17 pm

Soup and pie sound lovely - Wonder how long it'll take to fly over?

6:18 pm

My first word was the french cheese!

6:18 pm

lol...mine was the sweet ta4

6:19 pm

Will you post pictures of the completed terrace project? It sounds intriguing. We can make more soup and pie. It is like a traveling potluck dinner.

6:19 pm

I start with the upper left corner and work my way down the columns. Still on the first column. Being chatty.

6:20 pm

Not sure - haven't used flickr or such like. But who knows? I've posted the work in progress on my fb page, so friends in UK can see what we're doing.

6:21 pm

I rarely use facebook as my husband is very private and not secure about social media.

6:21 pm

I started yesterday - flip here is at 4 pm since you changed the clocks. I'm down to my final 9. Have listed but not used dictionary yet!

6:21 pm

Mine too - he hates fb but I try not to post personal details, though I do sometimes slip up.

6:21 pm

WooHoo Liz

6:22 pm

He wasn't too happy when I posted where I came from in London and when I moved here!!!!!

6:22 pm

That was on babble!

6:23 pm

Way to go liz! almost finished. Me with 93 left!

6:23 pm

Well Liz you will just have to figure out flickr 'cause your babble friends want to see :)

6:23 pm

You'll get there!

6:23 pm

6:24 pm

OK - I'll see what I can do! have to ask Mimi how she did it, cos she had problems!

6:24 pm

:)

6:25 pm

I am horrible about pictures, too.

6:25 pm

Or I'll ask you, smores, cos I see you have pics!

6:26 pm

lol..I don't remember how, kinda fumbled though it, wasn't too hard though :)

6:27 pm

Guess I have to set up a flickr account!

6:27 pm

If I recall I saved them on my computer, set up the flickr account, then it had a place to select browse...

6:27 pm

something like that...lol

6:28 pm

I'll sort it. Just spoke to hubby - he'll help!

6:29 pm

good for you liz!! Getting help is smart. I wait too long and waste time.

6:29 pm

Pa 6/24 me everybody, but I have a story to tell. My au 4/5 informed me about Babble. Ever since I discovered this website, I have ab5/14ed playing bo 5/16 games. I think I was bo4/6 to play word games because I'm good at them. My hubby wants me to abo4/6 playing Babble and go back to playing Scrabble. He thinks Babble is dr 4/7. Husband misses playing Scrabble with me in fr5/16 of the fire place.He also believes that I get too enra4/5 in the grid.Oh Dr 4/5! My husband is being a br 4/6 and wants the computer.He thinks we should ro6/18 tu4/5s on this laptop. I hope that you've no6/18d my clues and found more words. By the way, only pa 4/5 of this story is true and other pa 5/12 are not true. I am going to go watch a James Bo4/7 movie. I will see you all tomorrow

6:30 pm

Yay smores :)

6:31 pm

6:38 pm

WooHoo Champ !!! wtg :)

6:38 pm

and the one after the pies that smores loves making!

6:39 pm

Congrats Champ :)

6:40 pm

The ta5 is like a slang word for a mentally challenged person, take off the re, and add a vowel at the end.

6:40 pm

The one after the pies you serve with fish...ta5 sauce.

6:40 pm

BTW, hi, Liz!

6:40 pm

thanks Champ :)

6:41 pm

No problem!

6:41 pm

Fireworks - great clues. Ty everyone who helped - no dictionary today!!!!

6:42 pm

Awww, heck, Liz...sorry to see you leave but glad for the fw.

6:42 pm

I guess I'd've spelt the sauce differently but I should've remembered because it was in the grid a couple of days ago.

6:42 pm

I guess I'd've spelt the sauce differently but I should've remembered because it was in the grid a couple of days ago.

6:42 pm

Congrats Liz!! Well done.

6:43 pm

agree Liz, sounds to me more like ta*** tots than sauce

6:43 pm

OK have flickr account. Didn't realise that's be so easy because I have a yahoo account!

6:44 pm

Congratulations Lizlin on your fireworks display! Way to go

6:44 pm

6:47 pm

what!!! not sure what happened to my sentence...lol

6:47 pm

I'm no better at this grid this evening than I was this morning, so I'm going to soothe myself with the remainder of my cauliflower casserole...later, all.

6:48 pm

LOL, smores! ((hug))

6:48 pm

Bye sweetie, enjoy your evening {{hugs}} :)

6:48 pm

YAY liz and min! hey all

6:49 pm

should I give this one a try?

6:49 pm

hi stid :)

6:50 pm

of course stidmama :)

6:50 pm

Hi stid :)

6:51 pm

Hey smores - browse - where? in flickr or babble?

6:52 pm

in flickr...I think it says upload photos..then select browse and you can transfer the photos from your computer

6:54 pm

OK - I have a photo in flickr (actually 2 - I have no idea how a pic of my uncle's gravestone got there!!!). How do I transfer to babble?

6:56 pm

OK have now deleted unwanted photo!

6:58 pm

go to "my account" on babble and there is a place to enter your flickr name...I think it is at the bottom of the page

6:59 pm

sorry, was printing up some details. Judging debate on Friday, and I want to be sure I have a map of the campus this time! LOL (it's the "big" one our local HS students attend, and I really enjoy this venue)

7:00 pm

sounds lovely stid...good idea to get map...don't want to be wandering around :)

7:04 pm

I have fun at the tournaments. I like being around the kids who are actually interested enough to do their best at something. Unfortunately, sometimes the kids in the classrooms have too much going on outside the classroom to be able to do their best...

7:06 pm

What grades do you teach?

7:07 pm

I teach anything I get right now (subbing) but my preferred grade range is 4-7 or maybe 8... :-) I like ornery kids.

7:07 pm

Hmmm! Babble doesn't seem to like my flickr name!!!!!

7:08 pm

My fav years too stid

7:08 pm

lol...stid

7:08 pm

it won't let you enter your name?

7:08 pm

I also liked kids, who had some personality! I think that's what you mean too - transatlantic language barriers!

7:09 pm

No - it says an error has occurred!

7:09 pm

evening all!

7:09 pm

:-) Liz, you're about the only teacher I know who actually says that! LOL It gets lonely knowing the kids are actually being age-appropriate, but looking for ways to help them be socially appropriate while they learn (and at the best of times the older ones are distracted by the maturation process).

7:10 pm

hmmm....I would just try again later....it maybe a system problem right now.

7:10 pm

hey dan!

7:10 pm

hm. evening. supper. Must get something started. brb

7:10 pm

Hi 2bit :)

7:11 pm

bye for now stid :)

7:11 pm

Hi Dan - bye for now stid :)

7:11 pm

You could be right smores - it could be a clash of names but I wouldn't have thought that would be a problem!

7:12 pm

me either, if flickr accepted the name then you should be able to enter it into babble

7:13 pm

We are defaulted to frozen pizza for the kiddo and his dad, and reheated leftovers for me.

7:14 pm

down to 52, and STILL looking for that elusive N.

7:14 pm

lol...I did leftovers tonight stid....and custard pie thanks to the grid :)

7:15 pm

NE 4/5

7:15 pm

mmmm. custard pie. I have eggs.... *thinking* and a computer that is behaving most peculiarly...

7:15 pm

Hey teach :)

7:15 pm

thanks teach!

7:15 pm

and the upper N? *hopeful look*

7:15 pm

hey all

7:15 pm

7:16 pm

the word pie has been staring at me, had to make one

7:16 pm

Sorry stid - focussed on trying to get babble to recognise my flickr account. V frustrated!!!!!!!

7:16 pm

pie pie pie... why are pies round? to drive 7th grade math students crazy.

7:16 pm

lol!

7:17 pm

lol...

7:17 pm

does your school do pi day?

7:17 pm

oh gee liz... that can be so grump-making.

7:18 pm

I am in LOTS of schools, but only the high schools seem to do that event, smores -- though it might be a good thing for some of these kiddos I have been with the last few days.

7:18 pm

Hello wvteach!How are you doing?Welcome to the chat log

7:18 pm

i alwys did pi day in my classroom - lots of info on the internet

7:18 pm

hey Min!

7:18 pm

OK - time to get going. Will come back to this problem later! shouldn't matter that my flickr e mail is different to babble e mail, should it?

7:18 pm

hey liz, try clicking on your icon, then on the flickr.com see if that will link them

7:18 pm

7:19 pm

Yes, it links in!

7:19 pm

7:19 pm

No. Said you didn't have a flkr account.

7:24 pm

7:24 pm

7:26 pm

garg. My chog completely froze up!

7:27 pm

and hello mother. how was the soup?

7:27 pm

liz, I wonder if you need to give flickr permission to let babble grab the photo stream?

7:27 pm

Soup was very good with the nice tortillas ou got us.

7:28 pm

they do make nice ones. I told the woman on Friday how much I love going to the store because it smells so nice!

7:28 pm

Perhaps. Going out now, will try and sort it later! Enjoy your evenings and ty for the suggestions.

Millville...near Worcester

10:33 pm

our son and his family are in Fitchburg

10:33 pm

one of the cousins insisted they invite his friend (12 yo) and then pretty much ignored the kid so my boy spent time with him. . . especially on his 13th birthday which most of the family ignored. . . tsk

10:33 pm

true bab I plan to go into the glass bottomed bo** business and run tours

10:34 pm

double tsk

10:34 pm

we taught several kenyan women BR when i was there in the pool at the hotel. . .they don't know how to swim since the rivers and lakes are full of hippos and crocs and other things which are hazardous

10:34 pm

anyway the boy's gf went on about what a great guy the boy is and how she was sorry they didn't just go with her parents and him

10:34 pm

10:40 pm

10:45 pm

goodnight min and thanks for the story

10:46 pm

hi stid was off checking the weather.53 on Sunday

10:46 pm

it was good, jilly! I subbed for a different teacher, but same set of 7th graders. LOL poor kids are starting to feel they can't get away from me! (it was only two classes, just the afternoon). BUT I discovered that I really do have a pretty good handle on how to approach them and how to get them to work. Which was a boost of confidence I needed.

10:46 pm

it is suppose to be nice here too on sunday

10:46 pm

It's supposed to maybe get above freezing on Friday... right now it is well below.

10:46 pm

hey west

10:47 pm

so nice to hear you are having such a good time teaching stid..I know how hard you have worked

10:48 pm

thanks west - I really do, and I really enjoy 7th graders. ONCE we get past the ornery-ness (mine, as well as theirn!)

10:48 pm

are they in middle school ?

10:49 pm

yes, out here generally speaking 6-8 are in middle school, though a few districts keep 6 in elementary and have a "junior high" model instead.

10:49 pm

that's what we had so 7th graders were the babies

10:50 pm

Do not understand why schools would want to keep junior high?

10:50 pm

you're a caution bab lol

10:50 pm

(((BR))) so glad you are still here! Wanted to tell you about a "blessing" I had this evening.

10:52 pm

Was driving to get my elder son at his college to give him a ride to orchestra rehearsal. There, sitting on a stop sign was a SNOWY OWL!!!! (very rare in our location). It looked RIGHT at me. By the time I got turned around, it had disappeared. But it was such a lovely, unexpected -- joyful -- thing to happen to me today.

10:52 pm

and I thought about you for some reason, and hoped you were having a good evening too.

10:52 pm

Must be an omen.

10:53 pm

"cobard" -- the ghost writer for shakespeare?

10:53 pm

:-)

10:53 pm

:-) indeed, yes, jmc!

10:54 pm

beautiful virus in your icon, too, BR

10:54 pm

I cannot imagine how a ghost would be able to hold a writing implement.

10:54 pm

It is a stem cell.

10:55 pm

oh -- even cooler! :-)

10:55 pm

it just holds the hand of the person writting. . .

10:55 pm

nice one, jmc

10:56 pm

I found it at the Director's blog for the National Institutes of Health. He was lauding the US Supreme Court decision.

10:56 pm

still 6... maybe I will list now.

10:56 pm

brb

10:57 pm

5. of course it's a fish...

10:57 pm

4... another fish

10:58 pm

10:58 pm

lots of fish today...

10:58 pm

go stiddie go

10:58 pm

are these real fish or just babble fish?

10:58 pm

babble fish...

10:58 pm

Well, if the ghost could hold the writer's hand, the ghost could hold the pen.

10:59 pm

ghost writers in the sky

10:59 pm

Not taking the case allow research to go on.

10:59 pm

depends on the ghost of course. . .there is the au** dimity series where the ghost write on journal pages without implement

10:59 pm

three, and yes, a pig-fish that time.

11:00 pm

red-eyed steers.

11:00 pm

one -- babblers, not fish

11:00 pm

Well, must toddle off to bed. Hopefully will go to sleep tonight...last night only got 3 hours sleep. Niters All!

11:21 pm

11:21 pm

Whatcom Community College is a decent school too -- and would be less expensive for getting back into the groove of things.

11:22 pm

she spent the last year in Seattle and did take some art courses at the community college there

11:22 pm

It's going to be okay -- some man fell out of a moving car at 4 this afternoon, they are just trying to be sure that they have all the evidence.
