I think it is the sw 5 sw 7

The words you would think would be proper nouns

1:10 am

oh, I see! thanks! yes, those are it. wouldn't have thought of them.

I think diz helped me... they never occurred to me :)

1:11 am

seems wrong somehow, I agree

First grid I've done for a couple of days - wow! Out of practice!

does take some acclimation

1:38 am

After 6 months, didn't think I'd lose my eye that quickly!

1:38 am

where were you, last night, liz?

1:38 am

Exhausted - at a wedding previous evening, then out during the day yesterday. Same today - just got in!

1:39 am

First quite nice days for ages!

1:39 am

lol, that would do it... nice that you could join us tonight.

1:39 am

Knew I wouldn't have time for a really large grid yesterday!

1:39 am

Happy to be here!

1:40 am

Always feel pleased when I spot a US spelling that I wouldn't normally think of, as in ho 5!

2:01 am

okay...would you believe i have 48 to go...and they are s's and t's.

2:01 am

WTG - just over half way here!

2:17 am

3:48 am

4:15 am

Loved the biggie grid we had yesterday.

4:20 am

4:20 am

4:21 am

4:22 am

Yes ..thank you, sprite..i remebered that word from last time hehe

4:22 am

Hello, Diz.

4:22 am

:D A bit of a running babble joke, it is, zooz.

4:22 am

Sprite, she lurves playing Babble. And I don't stop her, great learning for hear

4:23 am

*her

4:23 am

oh yes, great stuff for that, diz. You must be so proud of her :)

4:23 am

Too true, Diz..lol

4:24 am

oh and that awful party game is in here too... place your right foot on the red dot...

4:25 am

I think it is a great place to come and learn new words...always plenty of new ones around.

4:25 am

Damn..already got that one.

4:25 am

she actually asked if te 9/54 (first one)was a word, told her to type it in and she was sooooo proud it worked...lol

4:26 am

yes and also to learn to spot word patterns. I have learned so much from babble. Both from the game and from the chat.

4:26 am

omg diz! That is so smart! How old is she?

4:26 am

Wow..impressive, Diz.

4:27 am

Sprite, she is 12

4:27 am

wow that is amazing. Must have a true talent for language.

4:28 am

last freebees: the darn fly and the rhyming slang hat.

4:29 am

LOL Sprite, she is a dumb klutz....but loves words

4:29 am

Thanks, Spritey.

4:30 am

my pleasure, zooz :D

4:30 am

awww diz, LOL!

4:36 am

Not sure what to buy my mother for mothers day...for the last five years i have been buying her local blown glass ornaments..but i think she must be fed-up with those now...she is alergic to flowers, so can not buy those.

4:37 am

You can get blown glass ones for the garden, really look pretty and can be moved around

4:39 am

not seen those...wondering if they have them here..will have to investigate that one.

4:39 am

They usually come on a long steel

4:39 am

metal prong that sticks into the soil

4:39 am

give her a beautiful box filled with personal vouchers... like a hug from you... a walk in the park together... a movie date... etc.

4:40 am

It is great here as you can watch them make your item..wonderful to watch it being made.

4:40 am

on a side note, I like it that my favorite word is accompagnied by te6/18.

4:40 am

Thats a wonderful idea, Sprite..hugs cost nothing to :-)

4:40 am

wow zooz, that is special.

4:41 am

I did notice that, Spritey.lol

4:41 am

*grins*

4:44 am

I had better get something organised..babble always normally comes first..but when it is family..it can wait...bye for now..and thanks for the suggestions.

4:44 am

*hugs zooz* Have a grand day!

4:45 am

Enjoy your weekend

6:03 am

fireflies. Bye all!

6:03 am

Hi and congrats sprite :)

6:04 am

hello, problems with new puppy and with horrible husband

6:05 am

Oh Ruby! What's wrong?

6:05 am

puppy, who was supposed to come on tuesday, has an eye problem and we don't know if it's chronic.

6:06 am

Meanwhile, while I am feeling sad, husband is being very hostile, thinks my sadness is directed at him

6:06 am

Oh! Well not much I can say but I'm sure it's getting the best attention.

6:06 am

yes, the husband of the breeder is a vet, but husband just can't handle my grief

6:06 am

Can only keep reassuring him that your sadness is because of the puppy's problem.

6:07 am

That's so hard for you - hugs and stuff coming your way. But that's not much help, I guess.

6:07 am

I tried but he is totally closed off

6:07 am

I fell apart over lunch and I don't do that v ery often

6:07 am

Exhausting for you but all you can do is keep repeating the same thing.

6:10 am

I am worn out, feel like I'm juggling Swords and flaming batons

6:10 am

((ruby))

6:10 am

I'm so sad that things are not working out in a straightforward way - really hope that there's a good outcome before too long

6:10 am

((crososy))

6:22 am

We have a rest today, half as many words to find!

6:23 am

((bichon))

6:24 am

ruby, sorry to hear about puppy problems.

6:25 am

ty, bichon

6:27 am

hi all , what puppy problems ruby?

6:28 am

read the chog

6:28 am

rafaella has a closed eye since yesterday and now the decision is whether to take her that way, wait, or take a different puppy. Meanwhile, I'm in tears and husband is being nasty/

6:29 am

Aside from that, everything is peachy!

6:29 am

it willwork out ruby, it is a stressful time for you both

6:29 am

what about your fridge?

6:29 am

be patient although it's hard

6:29 am

Hi Sandy and Bichon :)

6:29 am

often young animals have eye probs and they get better

6:29 am

hi liz

6:30 am

hi sandy, Liz

6:30 am

the fridge situation is hopeless. I went (alone) to shop for a new one but none of them fits in our custom kitchen. We will either have to take out cabinets or HOPE that the guy can fix this fridge (unlikesly)

6:30 am

hi bich

6:31 am

, unfortunately, our vet has little experience with chowschows frequently have entropion and

6:31 am

it never rains but it pours!!! in six weeks time you will have forgotten all this

6:31 am

entropion i will google it

6:31 am

you think?

6:33 am

my husband can't stand me and, when i need either help or sympathy, I get neither!

6:33 am

I just googled entropion - if this is the case and it's been caught early, can they do somehting to help?

6:33 am

I'm lucky to have a daughter to talk too. She's really comforting

6:34 am

they can do surgery, but,unfortunately, there isn't a vet in Annecy who has ever done the surgery

6:34 am

chows are rare here (I Wonder why lol)

6:34 am

It's difficult to take a puppy and have to start out with surgery.

6:34 am

What about where the puppy is now? If surgery is done, is it a recurrent problem?

6:34 am

ui googled it to, it sounds like it may be the type of thing that it will grow out of or surgery - are there any other puppies available?

6:35 am

yes, they have two other puppies, but neither one is what I would have chosen. I'll take one of them, however, if needs be. I was just upset at lunch ND HUSBAND GOT REALLY NASTY

6:36 am

Hello everyone.

6:36 am

What if you ignored hubby's outbursts?

6:36 am

hi lyn

6:36 am

Hi lyn :)

6:36 am

ruby (((hugs))) he is upset about ruby and so are you

6:36 am

hi lynxx

6:37 am

hi lynxx, I'm whining as usual

6:37 am

this is the place to do it ruby we are very sympathetic

6:38 am

thank God for that! It's been a very bad period

6:38 am

I've got to go - busy day tomorrow then Canadian guests arrive for a week. Ruby, really hope things work out well. Sandy's right about you both missing Ruby - and that will affect your husband's reactions. Will be thinking of you and will look in over the next week when i can to find out how things are.

6:39 am

Seems to me Ruby that you aren't over Ruby s death yet. If this pup is not the one for you then why not wait until the right one comes along. Ruffie is still a pup and I am sure keeps you fully occupied. As for your husband - he is old and ailing, you know everything is revolving more and more around himself. You are doing very well to handle the situation.

6:39 am

bye Liz - hope the weather is good for your guests

6:39 am

ruby keep your spirit and remember that the Tour is coming in a few months

6:40 am

you are probably right, lynxx. We were just so happy to have found Rafaella so quickly and she looks just like my first chow, Rosie

6:41 am

I thought that was a sign

6:42 am

Hi, all, so sorry to hear about the pup, ruby!

6:42 am

I understand. Though I did think you were pretty good to have 2 puppies at once.

6:42 am

hi Sue

6:42 am

((sue))

6:43 am

I so understand just be patient and it will work out and lynxx is right ruby

6:43 am

these dogs are so fragile that we need to have 2 at a time

6:43 am

really? why are they fragile - they seem very robust to me.

6:44 am

I think they are too inbred. Ruby lasted until 10 years, the best of any of our 6

6:44 am

there are breeds that do need to be kept two at a time - that japanese dog akitas are the same

6:45 am

have you seen the movie Hachi? It's about a famous akita

6:45 am

no I haven't

6:46 am

Richard Gere stars and it's very touching

6:47 am

I am such a crier in movies that i avoid anything too moving, i am really pathetic

6:47 am

my kids say i need therapy

6:47 am

LOL

6:47 am

me, too, sandy, but maybe tears are therapeutic.....

6:48 am

I feel happier after watching Sister Act and such - I hate crying

6:48 am

but Ruby some tears are definitely therapeutic

6:50 am

we have had a state government election today

6:50 am

my team won in a landslide

6:50 am

and?

6:51 am

liberal gov in here

6:51 am

labor - libs?

6:51 am

7 percent swing to the libs

6:51 am

that's good news about the elction. I'm sure your politics are in the right place!

6:51 am

the libs have been good for wa and they have some good projects in the works

6:52 am

while our lib leader bailed out!

6:52 am

careful ruby lynxx might be onthe other side but i like debate anyway

6:52 am

that was bizarre lyn

6:52 am

you guys are 10 hours and a continent away!

6:52 am

don't care that much either way...but would like Gillard to get back in - she is a breathe of fresh air and doing good stuff

6:53 am

lyn is in victoria

6:53 am

(no ARROW) BUT LOVES YOU BOTH

6:53 am

the labourites wouldn't let her come to wa during the campaign

6:54 am

Not really Sandy, his heart wasn't in it - ever - it seems.

6:54 am

must have been the case, that is why i really like Barnet here , i feel his heart is so here

6:55 am

Politics is such a fickle thing

6:55 am

one day a hero next a zero

6:56 am

and thats why I think Gillard is good - she really wants to make good decisions for the country. Abbot - pfft. Now if Turbull got another shot

6:56 am

I'm adopting that as my personal slogan

6:57 am

I was just playing a game (Serpentine) which is mainly inhabited by usa ites and i mentioned our election- this caused a great debate about the gun laws in the us and should felons have the right to vote until everyone left the game LOL

6:57 am

nice going, sandy! Americans are crazy on that subject

6:57 am

I prefer Turnbull , and I do think Gillard has here heart in the right place but .... I dont know about the feds really , I only know about our state

6:58 am

I feel like a trouble maker Ruby lol

6:58 am

some of y best friends.....

6:58 am

They all got very overheated , I was taken aback

6:59 am

The US seems very sensitive to any comments on their internal stuff

6:59 am

not me, lynxx

7:00 am

over sensitive i feel Aussies seem to take it on the chin, I think we are more reasonable

7:00 am

feels very far away after 15 yrs in France

7:00 am

or more lay back perhaps

7:00 am

do you miss the usa Ruby

7:00 am

only my son and the food

7:00 am

Barnett is giving his acceptance speech or victory speech...

7:01 am

Ruby, I thought the food in France would be fabulous compared tothe us

7:01 am

not in this region

7:02 am

except for the breakfasts in both countries!

7:02 am

the scenery makes up for it, however

7:02 am

Paris was good

7:02 am

not the breakfast tho

7:02 am

Is the produce good where you are Ruby?

7:03 am

food in Paris is much better than here. There isn't a single decent Orietal resto here

7:03 am

yes, produce is good and cheap. Meat is awful

7:03 am

Aus has fabulous food and Melbourne is one of the best places for it

7:03 am

Lots of horses eh?

7:19 am

hi all

7:19 am

((mom))

7:19 am

hi Sue

7:19 am

howdy sue

7:19 am

I just adopted a 1yr old Sheppard. I named him Goofy because he is.

7:19 am

I like young dogs, but not puppies.

7:19 am

how sweet

7:20 am

he is. He is bomb proof. I was fostering a few dogs, but he is special

7:20 am

couldnt see the family without him

7:21 am

that makes it very special

7:25 am

5 9 letter words? Really?

7:25 am

not to mention 15 8 letter ones :-(

7:33 am

have to scoot. I wish you all a great day ((Hugs))

7:41 am

*tiptoes in*

7:43 am

and now it is time for crossy's tidbit of the day!!! but first a bit of info on it before i post the link... marina abramovic and Ulay started an intense love story in the 70s, performing art out of the van they lived in. When they felt the relationship had run its course, they decided to walk the Great Wall of China, each from one end, meeting for one last big hug in the middle and never seeing each other again. At her 2010 MoMa retrospective Marina performed ‘The Artist Is Present’ as part of the show, where she shared a minute of silence with each stranger who sat in front of her. Ulay arrived without her knowing and this is what happened..... http://tinyurl.com/at4zyqf

7:44 am

hi welki - hi crossy

7:44 am

'morning, jbv!

7:45 am

i had a great time last night! wish i lived closer :)

7:45 am

howdy jbv

7:47 am

link doesn't work for me, crossy

7:48 am

one sec...

7:49 am

try this one...

7:49 am

http://tinyurl.com/at4zyqf

7:49 am

crossy, I just watched that whole video - very beautiful

7:49 am

How touching

7:49 am

yes, we had a great time - it was wonderful to meet you

7:49 am

glad you liked it,jbv

7:50 am

glad you enjoyed it,br

7:50 am

crossy, it means a lot to me, as I have recently had some very emotional reunions with my family

7:50 am

(will have to wait to watch it - don't want to wake ol' sleepyhead)

7:51 am

you can watch it without sound, welki - it's all nonverbal anyway

7:51 am

it is nice,jbv when a tidbit of mine connects with someone in unforseen ways

7:51 am

although the music is very nice

7:54 am

i also watched it with sound off(need new speakers) and was interestin trying to read them both.the man was happy to see her of course,still loved her,that is very clear,but also mourns for what was lost,what could of been but is also happy that she is ok and has found herself and is fufilled in her life.cannot read her though.only been married 20 years.cannot read women yet;))))

7:55 am

beautiful

7:55 am

keep trying, crossy

7:56 am

I wonder if he just walked out the door

7:56 am

i figure another 30 years or so and i will have it,mubner

7:56 am

her reaction must be colored by knowing that she is "performing" and everyone is watching her. A strange situation. I wonder what happened after......

7:56 am

hi BR - we were wondering the same thing. Did they meet up afterwards?

7:56 am

not coloured much i think.he is so focused and riveted on her that outside influences would be minor at most

7:57 am

My many therapists told me repeatedly I did not understand ... how could I understand another?

8:02 am

a love that intense that has survived in him for that long would be like a time machine.it would take them both back in a heartbeat to times before the great wall and that last moment together on the wall saying goodbye would be clear and pure as when it happened.remember your first love? i do and that point in time when all was new and her face was foremost in your mind every day all day no matter what you were doing till you started presenting an aura that other could feel.strangers would smile at you as you ran though your day ,as you prayed for time to fly so you could meet again;)

8:02 am

ok,rambling.time for meds and tea

8:04 am

Crossy....you seem to me to have a beautiful soul. Your "rambling" was as beautiful as the scene we watched!

8:10 am

back with tea;)) tyvm smdnjv:))

8:12 am

(Crossy) So glad to see you here this morning. I asked about you yesterday. I still remember my first love at age 15 vividly and we are actually still friends.

8:12 am

howdy mimi:)))

8:13 am

it is usually one of the clearest moments in our lives no matter how many years pass

8:14 am

was interesting.the artist experiment felt cold and calulated at first,like yoko ono posing with a peach floating in a bower hat full of gin sort of thing but when her old love sat down it became beautifu and she along with it all

8:15 am

9:36 am

bye hego

9:37 am

Bye hego...enjoy :)

9:37 am

my thesis advisor was Hungarian - he told me that the difference between the Hungarians and the French is that the French leave without saying goodbye, and the Hungarians say goodbye without leaving. So I am part Hungarian :-)

9:37 am

and bye, hego!

9:38 am

:D

9:38 am

that's interesting sue and probably true

9:39 am

Oh no! All the French and Hungarian people are going to quit Babble now. : P

9:39 am

<----part french....sometimes doesn't say goodbye

9:39 am

?? Molly

9:40 am

It's a joke. *Lead balloon*

9:41 am

:) hope no one is that sensitive...not that it was insulting anyways.

9:41 am

I figured he was allowed to tell it, being Hungarian and all :-)

9:41 am

:)

9:41 am

I think its just the jewish thing that is edgier

9:42 am

tee hee!

9:42 am

and maybe asian and black too

9:43 am

my son, whose father is Jewish although I am not, has a t-shirt that says "I'm not really a Jew, I'm Jew-ish". Which in his case is kind of true :-)

9:43 am

I keep trying testosterone

9:43 am

don

9:43 am

French, English, Native American Christian, not easily insulted

9:43 am

don't bother, ruru, it doesn't really help

9:44 am

lol..sue

9:44 am

LOL! I think that is awesome!

9:45 am

Well, being Irish and a once upon a time Catholic, I have never taken offense to jokes about either. They are jokes. Ha ha.

9:46 am

oh... yeah.. I don't think you can make jokes about the pope either

9:46 am

oh... yeah.. I don't think you can make jokes about the pope either

9:46 am

So true Molly, have heard some I don't like but I don't take them personal

9:46 am

ha, don't tell Jon Stewart that, ruru!

9:47 am

One of the funniest things I saw after the Pope "retired" was a cartoon of the Vatican with a bubble coming out of it that said "You gave up WHAT for Lent?"

9:47 am

that is pretty cute, Molly :-)

9:47 am

LOL...that hilarious

9:47 am

LOL!

9:47 am

*that's

9:48 am

yuk, yuk

9:48 am

I'll bet a lot of people found that quite offensive :)

9:48 am

But, as a friend of mine says, you can't untie the knot in someone else's knickers.

9:49 am

nice :)

9:49 am

<---doesn't get that close to others knickers :)

10:47 am

yeah.. that's how it was for Doren with me too.. we had so much in common

10:48 am

5:02 pm

Aw, poor Wht. : (

I'm going to Italy in May. It's part of a coerciond deal where I have to end up in Israel to see my inlaws. The Italy part is great. The Israel part is worrisome...

Are there any Babblers in Venice?

5:03 pm

This is my favorite time of year. When the light returns. I am amused by the people who whine about "losing an hour".

5:04 pm

What part of Italy are you going to, Kap?

5:04 pm

they obviously haven't played babble if they complain about losing time.. :D

Venice and Rome.

I'm trying to find yesterdays Days of Our Lives on the DVR but it was all snowstorm coverage.

I have been at the addictions conference all weekend again.

So I have to watch it online I guess.

5:07 pm

Was the Babble meetup in NJ part of that conference Kaplan?

No, it was Harvard.

5:09 pm

I've been to Venice 10 or 12 times. Its a one-off. Theres nowhere else on Earth like Venice. Incredible, regal,majestic, but expensive. Very expensive. And in Mid Summer , smelly. But totally worthnit.

It wavers between academically interesting or clinically interesting for moments amid powerpoint after powerpoint of research graphs and explanations of the limbic system and the amygdala...

let's talk about Venice.

Can it be more expensive than New York or Boston?

5:10 pm

Blah blah. Its incredible

Well, I'm just visiting.

Life is expensive, I'm used to it.

5:12 pm

5:18 pm

Anyone need clues before I go?

5:19 pm

i'll muddle along for a while longer, but thanks, Wht.

Well I missed 2 days this week - didn't have time. Funny though, how I kept looking!

6:04 pm

i know if i finish a grid too fast i keep looking for words! haha

6:05 pm

Finish too fast? Not something I'm familiar with!!!

6:06 pm

trust me it only happens with very small and not diabolical grids. . . not very often!

6:06 pm

but since most really small grids are diabolical. . .

6:06 pm

lol

6:07 pm

40 left for later. Time to start clean up! Good chatting. Enjoy the grid :)

6:08 pm

6:34 pm

hello Mother! just finished entering grades. :-) hey all!

6:35 pm

jmc, the pics nrk posted of your recent get-together were great -- looks like you-all had a good time.

6:36 pm

yes it was great fun. . . everyone in top form!

6:37 pm

:-) was glad to see hego up and around, too -- I figured she'd get better pretty fast. Are you doing well?

howdee allums

6:37 pm

hey gwen!

6:38 pm

yes. . .i have an appointment with congress staff of the guy who introduced the bill i think almost does what we need. . . so i am excited about that

6:38 pm

hi book

6:38 pm

that is really exciting, jmc

good luck with that, jmc!

6:41 pm

thanks . . . got to start somewhere! :-)

nbt

6:41 pm

go gwen go!

6:42 pm

wtg book

so, can you summarize the bill, for those of us who missed it?

6:43 pm

the bill provides for a constitutional amendment that would allow congress to make content neutral campaign finance laws that heretofore have been held unconstitutional abridgments of the first amendment

6:44 pm

when you are messing with the first amendment you need to be exacting!

would this go toward getting private money out of elections?

6:45 pm

yes. . .it would make a giant st** in that direction

hooray!

6:46 pm

haha well we have to get the joint resolution passed and then ratified and then the new laws passed. . . a long way to go

6:46 pm

which congressman/senator?? wyden?

6:46 pm

but at least there is now a reasonable bill so that is the first st**

i think the jackasses who use the 1st amendment to protect private money are way outta line

6:46 pm

Schiff of California

6:47 pm

there are 14 co-sponsors you can check my orgs' FB page for more of the details

we need 400 co-sponsors!!!

6:48 pm

well i don't like some of the things that are done but i am a big proponent of protecting the first amendment even when i don't like the results. . .

6:48 pm

a long way to go, for sure, but at least there is some progress. Good for you, jmc!

hey, i'm a religious liberal, we are all about the 1st amendment

6:48 pm

well like my FB page and sign for my tweets and let me know when you are coming to DC to meet with your congressional rep! haha

6:48 pm

I am down to 181, and off to get more work done. See you-all again later! *poof*

6:49 pm

bye stiddie

6:49 pm

6:49 pm

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

7:34 pm

hi min

7:36 pm

I was a ho 5/12 and I ho4/5d in on puzzle earlier and found 140 words. Then I must confe4/7 I used list to help me find 10 more words. Now here's a story.In Se 4/5ember of 1980, when my tw4/8 si6/18 was a kid, she was raking up some leaves that had been st6/30 about on the lawn. She raked over a ho6/21's ne4/4. The ow 5/18s of that ne 4/4 were not happy and she was stung by a bunch of ho 7/32. Fortunately, she is not pr5/12 to being allergic to bees,however, as she ran back to the house crying,she tripped and she tw 5/18ed her ankle. She made a not so wi4/8 choice to keep running and made her ankle worse. She we 4/9 for a long time.I am sure the ho6/21's found another place to re 6/18 after attacking my si6/18. Hubby is being a pe 4/5 and looking at me st 4/4ly because he wants the computer. I will give it to him so things do not get te 5/10. Now I am going to st 4/5 away from computer and go watch "The Untouchables", a movie about gangster Eliot Ne 4/4 while my hubby si 4/4 at computer and plays games. If I am not too tired and feel pe 4/5 enough,I'll return to the Babble websi4/4 to clue for the re4/4 of the ni4/4 after the movie. I hope you found more words,at least the easy on 4/4.

7:54 pm

Jilli gave me dispensation harry so you're safe

7:54 pm

7:54 pm

hello Mary

7:54 pm

You're going to Vermont for your vacation? How nice

7:55 pm

so true harry just a place to pass by

7:55 pm

the best part is we get to see our daughter and her husband..he's coming out to run in the Boston marathon

7:55 pm

Westford, I am thinking of doing a Babble meet-up in VT in August. Would ya be able to goto Vermont then

7:56 pm

we'll be living in boston by then!

7:56 pm

depends on when..we're going to be in Quebec for part of the time

7:56 pm

can anyone give me the stats on the 9's. I have ho9, st9 and te9

7:56 pm

harry did you find a place?

7:57 pm

haven't even begun looking

7:57 pm

HarryHood, are you moving from Conn to Mass? Both states are close to Vt.Would you consider coming to the Babble meet-up in Vermont in August?

7:57 pm

you really should consider Westford

7:57 pm

it's a real place and very nice

7:57 pm

sorry, (2) ho9's

7:58 pm

perhaps min, but probably not - I'm a bit overwhelmed with 5 kids and prepping new courses for the fall with a new job

7:58 pm

Mary I only have one 9 and can't find it

7:58 pm

aah I just mapped it - looks nice and rural

7:59 pm

That would overwhelm me. Are you teaching a course

7:59 pm

very good schools too

7:59 pm

I will hopefully have a new high school teaching job - but they want me to teach 5 courses I've never taught before.

8:00 pm

The second ho 9 ends in cravats

8:00 pm

where will you be teaching?

8:00 pm

private school in brookline, hopefully

8:01 pm

Conan O'Brien's alma mater?

8:01 pm

hah I think not! It's a jewish school, I don't think they've ever had an O'brien as a student

8:02 pm

I assume the position doesn't come with a residence

8:03 pm

unfortunately not. We're looking into newton.

8:03 pm

wife will be commuting to billerica

8:04 pm

that's a good place and would be convenient for both of you

8:04 pm

houses are about 3x what they are in new haven

8:04 pm

I'm back...my daughter needed me

8:04 pm

I miss the area

8:04 pm

I hope that never changed smores

8:36 pm

hi stid. YAY Harry

8:38 pm

hey bugs

8:38 pm

Hi stidmama, Bugsaw :)

8:38 pm

it looks like school is settling down finally

8:38 pm

hi smores

8:42 pm

Hi stid, smores and Bugs :)

8:42 pm

pretty much -- I am down to the last couple of weeks, still planning for lessons, but knowing that the kids are going to be "done" before the regular teacher gets back. I am also applying for a job at a different school that would finish out the year for me... that would be an "easier" grade (4th grade) but a more difficult situation as I would be replacing a long-term sub for the original teacher.

8:42 pm

hey lizlin

8:43 pm

hi folks

8:43 pm

hey welki!

8:43 pm

Hi welki - sounds like you had a great babble meeting :)

8:43 pm

hi Liz

8:44 pm

so the teacher you are replacing now will be coming back? I was never sure and was starting to think they would let you end the year.

8:44 pm

we weren't sure, either for a while.

8:45 pm

I would have ended the year if the teacher weren't coming back... but since he is, I am looking for another long-term. It's harder in a lot of ways, but a lot more fulfulling in most ways.

8:45 pm

we did, liz - wish i could do it more often :)

8:45 pm

Hi all!

8:45 pm

Finished!!!

8:45 pm

wtg smores!

8:45 pm

New jobs are always challenging but you know, stid, that after a week or two, you've got the kids!

8:45 pm

Congrats smores :)

8:45 pm

YAY smores!

8:46 pm

hey nrk! Loved the babble meet pics you posted

8:46 pm

Hi nrkii :)

8:46 pm

YAY smores and hi nrkii

8:46 pm

who did welki get together with?

8:46 pm

my poor phone takes blurry pictures in dim lighting, but the people were worth seeing so I posted them anyways :)

8:46 pm

Are they in your profile?

8:46 pm

:-)

8:47 pm

I'm waiting for Welki to share the group shot :)

8:47 pm

Liz, I put them on FB

8:47 pm

wait -- welki is the one I didn't recognize in your pics????

8:47 pm

LOL

8:47 pm

stid, welki wasn't in any of the pics I posted

8:47 pm

i wasn't in them - hang on

8:48 pm

oh.... *confused but happy mama look* I am just glad she was there!

8:48 pm

maybe JBV was the one you didn't recognize? She's not on facebook so I couldn't tag her

8:49 pm

the photo could use some editing - to get the glare streak out and fix our funky voodoo eyes, but it gets the point across - we had F.U.N. !!!

8:49 pm

that's probably who that was!

8:49 pm

oh nice, Welki!

8:49 pm

Nice photos :)

8:49 pm

If you get a chance to send that my way, I'd love a copy

8:50 pm

okay, help with the se9 please?

8:50 pm

it's really tiny.... but nice

8:50 pm

and stats for my missing 9? (I have ho9, ho9, te9)

8:50 pm

didn't want to mess up chat with a big pic

8:50 pm

se9?

8:51 pm

st 9/54

8:51 pm

very smart, welki. I only have one ho 9, sorry I can't help

8:51 pm

I thought someone said there was an se9

8:51 pm

stid, the other ho9 is same root

8:52 pm

ho 9/60, ho 9/60, st 9/54, te 9/54, te 9/54

8:52 pm

thanks nrk *looking*

8:53 pm

It was wonderful to see welki, jmcnrick, hego, jbv, dorens and templeowl!

8:53 pm

oh, st9... gotcha

8:53 pm

that SHOULD have been obvious. I think I need supper. LOL

8:53 pm

oh, that's right, a babble meet was had. i bet it was a lot of fun

8:53 pm

and I am now officially past halfway and NBS as well as NBT

8:53 pm

LBD!!!! *puts lots of choclits out*

8:54 pm

i remain amazed at how easily we all fit together, as if it was a regular thing for us to get together for supper

8:54 pm

Stiddy!!

8:54 pm

that has been my experience with babbler get-togethers, too, welki!

8:55 pm

how are you my dear LBD? I have DAFFODILS! and PINK hyacinths! and lettuce and baby bok choi in the cold frame!

8:56 pm

I keep wanting st9 to be "the quality of a hardy soup" but it won't take it

8:56 pm

i'm pooped, and no veggies or vegetation to speak of other than my brain.

8:57 pm

st9 has to do with bug anatomy

8:57 pm

sorry about the lack of plant life, LBD. I know it will show up for you eventually -- we are also (I can tell from the nibble-marks) getting a bumper-crop of slugs this year, thanks to the overly-mild weather.

8:57 pm

if strict bugs infested the foundation of your home, you might have something that sounds like st9

8:58 pm

or disciplinarian ores :)

8:58 pm

oooh! I GOT THAT CLUE!!! *bounce bounce*

8:58 pm

I think the coffee is starting to kick in...

8:58 pm

brb

8:58 pm

got it!

8:58 pm

thanks!

8:58 pm

the ground is covered with deer and turkey feces, mud and dead vegetation. we are officially in the season of MUD

8:59 pm

sounds lovely, dawg

9:00 pm

:-) we did have a lovely day today. actually could feel the warmth from the bright nuclear furnace in the sky

9:01 pm

i know we're not done with winter yet - still have another (counting) 4 months until summer - and even then, we could still have snow

9:02 pm

hi everyone. I wandered off to check the photos of the meetup

9:02 pm

hey bug

9:03 pm

hi bugs. yeah, the customers today were loading up on fertilizer, rakes, and other assorted gardening stuff. I had to remind a few that there's still snow on the notch...no need to plant or get carried away til that's all melted...at least another month if not two.

9:04 pm

I wandered off too...chatting with my girls

9:04 pm

Where are the photos posted ?

9:04 pm

I wandered off because I'm senile.. :D

9:04 pm

lol...hey ruru

9:05 pm

ruru, we will put a name label on you like Paddington Bear

9:05 pm

wow LBD, I am glad I don't live in the mountains, that's for sure!

9:05 pm

hey ruru

9:05 pm

......followed the popcorn back to the chat....

9:05 pm

oooh! I like the "everyone" picture!

9:05 pm

technically, stid, i don't live in the mountains, i live in a valley (only 3000 feet).

9:06 pm

LOL I live at about 50 feet...

9:06 pm

60 when the tide is out!

9:06 pm

lol

9:06 pm

where are the photos?

9:06 pm

:)

9:06 pm

brb, need some more tea.

9:07 pm

lol...my dog is snoring

9:07 pm

We took her with us hiking today...poor old thing is wore out

9:08 pm

lol...but so am I

9:08 pm

there are a couple on the Babble Friends site on Facebook

9:08 pm

oh.. i don't do facebook

9:09 pm

LOL!My little dog snores as well smores. It is so cute!

9:09 pm

smart idea except for times like this

9:11 pm

I only facebook with distant friends... everyone else I either connect with in other ways, or we just don't connect. I am trying hard to be partway between the crowd of people who have no ability to wait and the crowd of people who still wonder how electric lights work...

9:13 pm

Not big on facebook either ruru

9:14 pm

I really don't have any interest in Facebook.. not exactly sure why

9:15 pm

I joined it so I could see pictures but now I can't control it or even leave it. It has taken over

9:16 pm

I got sucked in to a couple of games I enjoyed for a while, but when I realized what huge time-wasters they were I dropped them.

9:16 pm

Sort of like babble... I dare not log in most week nights! LOL

9:17 pm

However,Babble is NOT a waste of time stidmama.I'm also guilty of wasting time playing FaceBook games.

9:17 pm

hey Min! welcome to the chog

9:18 pm

Hello welki! How are you doing? How was the meetup?

9:20 pm

glad that snow is melting, Min -- you-all are pretty done with winter I suspect...

9:21 pm

it was wonderful, min - great group of people. we laughed, had a terrific meal and felt more like a reunion than a first-time meeting

9:22 pm

^That is the best way to describe a Babble meetup welki!

9:22 pm

but where is jmc tonight? *looking between the lines*

9:23 pm

she was on earlier :-)

9:24 pm

well, I have tests to write and lessons to plan. *headbang* Next time I volunteer for a long-term position I hope I do it for a content area I know really well (instead of one I used to tutor people in 20 years ago).

9:37 pm

9:41 pm

Good Evening, All. First time on today; and such a time to enter! "Tinklingfest?" And smores is laughing about it? ;-) Our Babble friends can be weird, I guess.

9:41 pm

Yes :)

9:42 pm

welki, I was this close ][ to coming to your meet-up!I drove to work Friday not knowing that there was no school that day.If I had had extra clothes with me, I would have continued on to New Jersey in snowstorm

9:42 pm

Hi Nef :)

9:42 pm

Hello Nef! How are you doing today? Welcome to grid.

9:43 pm

the roads were clear here, min - you should have just come on down, extra clothes or not. i'm sure there'll be others you can make it to :)

9:44 pm

Just sent a very sick little boy home with his parents. I've been calling my son all day that Ronnie wanted to go home and wasn't feeling well; and they got here at 9:30PM. I'm tired.

9:45 pm

aw nef - you (and Ronnie) must be exhausted :(

9:45 pm

aww...so sorry nef

9:47 pm

My DIL decided to spring clean today and they spent the day re-arranging furniture too. I'm just upset since Ronnie never wants to go home; but he's been asking his daddy to come take him home since lunch.

9:47 pm

Now, that's off my chest. So tell me: who was at the meet-up and how was it?

9:51 pm

Hello help with fe8, please

9:52 pm

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

9:54 pm

Wow, welki! Sounds like a great meet-up just with who was there! :-)

9:55 pm

9:55 pm

9:57 pm

Goodbye lbdawger! I will see you tomorrow in the log.

9:58 pm

9:58 pm

9:58 pm

grrr..computer locked up on me

9:59 pm

sounds like you all had a marvelous time :)

9:59 pm

aw nice! :)

9:59 pm

if last night is any indication of how a typical babble meet goes, i think i'm going to start hoarding my air miles for more of them

9:59 pm

this was my 3rd babble dinner with her, plus she vacationed with a few of us last year in Florida... love JMC!

10:00 pm

:)

10:00 pm

(turning green with envy here....)

10:00 pm

brb I need a donut

10:01 pm

Need. Not want. :)

10:01 pm

yeah yeah, i know i'm gushing, but it's true - every single person there last night is amazing (including hego's guy, who put up with my twisted humor during dinner)

10:02 pm

he was the only man there - i told him that, if anyone was curious, we'd tell them that us womink folk were sister wives

10:02 pm

Just saw the pics!

10:04 pm

I think that after "seeing" so many people here for so many years; we are like good old friends (for the most part). I'm hoping that we can go to Montana this summer (DH had better not get sick again!) and I can arrange to meet some Babblers there when we go to my niece's wedding.

10:05 pm

Where, cos?

10:05 pm

there are at least three babblers in montana, so if you make the trip, it's likelly that you'd be able to meet at least some of them, nef

10:06 pm

(you know, i saved your icon all this time, nef, in case you lose it again)

10:06 pm

Facebook, Nef.

10:06 pm

I might be planning a meet-up for this summer as well

10:06 pm

I was set to meet up with lbd and Harpjane back in 2009 or 2010; but DH got sick and we had to cancel our trip (I missed an nephew's wedding that time)

10:07 pm

<-- not that far from montana. would love to make up the chance to see nef

10:07 pm

Oooh, Min! WHen and where?

10:08 pm

Sometime in August in Vermont at my parents house.

10:08 pm

(and jillyjill, too, nef)

10:08 pm

:-) yeah, cos. I'd like to meet you too for real (no skipping out this time for either of us, okay?)

10:08 pm

It would be more like a babble retreat for a weekend.

10:08 pm

no no no.. promise! that week was such a mess.

10:08 pm

My parents have a great house on loads of property.

10:08 pm

i still feel bad about it.

10:09 pm

make sure its wi-fi so people can babble min!

10:09 pm

Min, I might go to Vermont for that! My mom is in MA.

10:09 pm

What part of VT?

10:09 pm

and your other half would be okay with that, min?

10:09 pm

We can go hiking, canoeing,play games,go swimming or do whatever. Plus they have plenty of bedrooms.

10:10 pm

LIke I said before.. id love to come visit vermont again

10:10 pm

Yikes, just realized I invited myself. Oops.

10:10 pm

I do not care if he is okay with it or not. I'm doing it!

10:11 pm

:-) Woo Hoo Min!

10:11 pm

I keep expecting to see Nellie Oelsen when/if Nrkii and I meet.

10:11 pm

It's not definite.Still have to work it out with parents

10:12 pm

I want to kick them out of house for a weekend,LOL!

10:12 pm

Ha! I'm not Nellie. Just a wannabe.

10:12 pm

cos, I understand. I had planned a whole bunch of stuff we could do that night; but I was unaware that you were deaf; and I would have been driving and taking you on a tour of the Cities in the dark (and I don't sign).

10:12 pm

I love Vermont in June. Gets chilly enough for a sweater. I miss it :(

10:13 pm

thats kinda why i backed out lol.. its a stupid thing.. i dont like telling people i cant hear. im sorry. its stupid. its an issue ive been working on.

10:17 pm

If I would have known, I would have tried to learn a smattering of signs for you. The uncle who raised me had a brother who was legally blind and also deaf and mute. He lived alone in downtown St. Paul and I used to know some short cuts so we could communicate; but Uncle Willy died in 1975 and I don't remember anything now

10:19 pm

Well I hope for a chance to make up for it. I liked Minneapolis and want to visit again.

10:19 pm

I started to learn sign years and years ago. Got the alphabet nailed. Find myself practicing it once in a while. But got sidetracked right about when I was moving into words.

10:19 pm

I know my daughter's old friend teaches deaf students and she could teach me something

10:21 pm

People say ABCs are easiest but I find its the other way.. especially if you teach yourself.

10:21 pm

Let me know ahead of time and (if necessary) I'll even get her to translate for us (she lived across the street and called me Mom too.

10:22 pm

no8 help?

10:22 pm

siubds fdlds

10:22 pm

lol i mean sounds good

10:22 pm

okay! :-)

10:23 pm

plural of the no 6/18 - no + first book in the bible, gen****

10:24 pm

shoot, I did the math wrong and thought there was a 2 point tile in it... so didn't bother trying to make the plural... sigh...

10:24 pm

thanks

10:24 pm

I really can't be expected to do math while babbling, can I?

10:26 pm

no, nrkii; I've always wondered about people who can figure out the words with just the numbers

10:27 pm

hi all. any clues for the 9s?

10:27 pm

must be a function going on downstairs in the ballroom - massive bass (and i'm on the top floor, 11th)

10:27 pm

te9 = the quality of being irritated

10:27 pm

te9 = the quality of being uptight

10:28 pm

ho9 = the most truthful

Has anyone ever had the problem of your words not all being counted in the total, or even showing on your word list? I noticed it for the first time tonight. In fact, as I've continued to find words, my total has gone down! WTF?

10:28 pm

ho9 = truths

10:28 pm

11:32 pm

Hello jmcnrick! How are you doing? Welcome to grid.

11:32 pm

TO looks nothing like I pictured her

11:32 pm

well she doesn't normally have red eyes. . .

11:33 pm

I just looked at the pictures on FaceBook and do not know who is who. First time ever on Babble FaceBook

11:33 pm

that's the only thing I thought she'd have

11:33 pm

..just kidding...

11:35 pm

there are so many babblers I would like to meet

11:35 pm

It's weird to see people by their real names. I do not know who they are.I can't believe I have never gone to that page before.How do U guys know who is who?

11:35 pm

the first row is jbv, nrkii, hego, and welki

11:35 pm

ah.. so now i will have to look at facenook

11:35 pm

the second row is TO, dorens, me and mr hego

11:36 pm

Thank you jmcnrick.It's nice to put faces with names

11:36 pm

there is a file on that page with a list of names and babble names. . .

11:36 pm

mr hego?

11:36 pm

yep hego brought her hubby

11:36 pm

oh...

11:37 pm

I thought you'd at least bring your cabana boy jmc?

11:37 pm

he came to the meet up in delaware last year too

11:37 pm

rururocks it's my lifelong dream to attend a meet-up.

11:37 pm

haha we joked that the waiter was the cabana boy

11:37 pm

it'd be fun wouldn't it minver?

11:38 pm

If that is asking for too much, then I would be happy meeting just one babbler. One is better than none!

11:38 pm

well set one up. . . if i can come i will

11:38 pm

I"ve met two.. and liked them both a lot

11:39 pm

Scroll back in chog jmcnrick. I spoke about it earlier.

11:39 pm

pick a babbler that you want to meet and set a date with that person and then invite everyone else. . . that is basically how they happen

11:39 pm

the third I didn't.. but I got juiced on espresso

11:39 pm

I am meeting JIllibus soon.. I"m really excited to meet her

11:40 pm

I guess if you did not like a babbler,you would not be able to say so in the chat log or pretend to like them.

11:40 pm

Cool rururocks!Where and when are you meeting her

11:41 pm

she's coming to SF in April..

11:41 pm

Kje and I are going to meet her

11:41 pm

I might be planning a babble meet-up in Vermont this summer jmcnrick. I have to work it out with parents

11:41 pm

that is cool ru.

11:41 pm

ah let me know when in August. . . I will see what i can do

11:41 pm

I've met two lady Babblers. They were both lovely and charming ..

11:41 pm

well minver.. i sure ain't going to a nebraska meet up :D

11:42 pm

Hello torgone!How are you doing? Welcome to the log

11:42 pm

nice ru. . . i keep trying to get back out to SF and meet you (already met kje)

11:42 pm

KJE is probably going to smack me first for good measure

11:42 pm
