Doing OK today, sprite. How are things with you now?

2:53 am

and you, pug, how are you doing today?

2:54 am

not too bad today. Recovering from therapy day, but only bodily beat, not mentally. Feeling positive.

2:54 am

the mother still in the hospital, and despite everything, i got my hubby back this afternoon, if you know what i mean...nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

2:54 am

by the way I was wondering if that was You Rose and Sprite that I seen on tv in line over there for the new iphone just released? lol

2:55 am

*giggles* Got you, rose. Good for you, both!

2:55 am

lololol...hardly pugs...technophobe of the first order here

2:55 am

You seem so much better, sprite.

2:55 am

More of that dirty dancing I guess-lol

2:55 am

yeah right, must be me, pug, lolollll. *looks at unsmart mobile phone the size of a fridge* Am always the first for that kind of thing ;)

2:56 am

it's very good for expanding the lungs, pugs

2:56 am

it's very good for expanding the lungs, pugs

2:57 am

oh, wow, sprite. that is great news

2:57 am

Prayers are being answered, sprite.

2:57 am

thats good news Sprite. Looks like everyone is on the mend for a change

2:58 am

so very very true, peach. I thank you all and Him up there from the bottom of my heart.

3:00 am

We are just the vehicle thru which HE works. It is always a pleasure to hear good things.

3:01 am

one of my favorite quotes from God is: "God has no hands but ours." Touched me deeply when I first heard it and I still get goosebumps when I think of it.

3:02 am

That is so true.

3:03 am

so true sprite. sometimes it is hard to remember that God is acting through us. particularly when we are angry, or hurt and want to lash out in retaliation.

3:03 am

that reminds me,Sprite have you read the story of God under the bed and the tatoo homeless man on DS, dont give up

3:04 am

no, not yet, will check them out later! Thanks for the heads-up.

3:04 am

they made me cry

3:05 am

indeed, rose, exactly.

3:05 am

*hugs pug* Good tears, I hope.

3:06 am

you know how we feel with the burdens of life at times--I think we get a tiny taste of what Jesus took to the cross..He had the whole world"s burdons

3:07 am

takes quite a guy to carry all that, pug. And remember that Jesus said that all he did, we would do, and more.

3:07 am

hello all - you were talking earlier about groovy kiwi and i have not seen babble rabble for ages - is he still playing ??

3:07 am

Kiwi is no longer playing. BabbleRabble is, under the name of o-o/

3:08 am

sorry, that is o-o without a slash.

3:08 am

when we are dealing with younger generations, it is difficult to remember that they are God's children as well. and our actions and words must come from God. my gosh, i have lost count the number of times when i have had to remind myself, i am to follow God's commands on parenting...lol

3:08 am

oh great thanks sprite nice to know

3:08 am

lol rose, indeed.

3:09 am

and hi ursh :) Good to see you.

3:09 am

oh, thanx, sprite, for info on groovy kiwi

3:09 am

she is still active on facebook, if you want to get in touch.

3:09 am

g'day urshy...all well with you?

3:10 am

all well thank you - we have had some lovely spring rain - so pleased - was very very dry

3:11 am

unfortunately sprite, i have lost my faith in FB. if you could let her know that i would love an email from her..i would be truly grateful.

3:11 am

ah, then rain is a blessing, ursh. Am glad.

3:11 am

good news, urshy. let the flowers grow!!!

3:12 am

will try, rose. Am not much on FB myself anymore, but I think I still have her as a friend.

3:12 am

3:12 am

3:14 am

ok, found her and passed the request, rose :)

3:14 am

hiya joso *hugs*

3:15 am

thanx, sprite..prayers going up, here

3:15 am

somehow rose, when yo've just overheard the 'harem' chatting about god it just doesn't feel right to think of it as a harem any more

3:15 am

hi kids1

3:16 am

hey sprite, pink

3:16 am

*giggles* JoSo, I am pretty sure He wouldn't mind.

3:16 am

3:16 am

Hi ya Pink

3:16 am

pug hiya

3:17 am

3:17 am

I don't know sprite, got a real respect for the power of a lightning strike

3:17 am

I remember pink

3:17 am

awww, poor joso...* gently pats shoulder*

3:18 am

hehehe JoSo :D

3:18 am

3:18 am

I remember

3:18 am

behold my eyes pink kettle corn at the local department store

3:18 am

hey grannylove

3:18 am

lol pink

3:19 am

sprite they stole my idea

3:19 am

they are so evil. I bet they were watching babble chog.

3:19 am

oh, they've been selling it here since I was a kid, comes in a box

3:19 am

all is pink here in prep for breast cancer awareness month (Oct)

3:19 am

ah, that is a good thing.

3:20 am

exactl sprite so be careful with your great ideas

3:20 am

naughty department store...how dare they do that?

3:20 am

will do, grin.

3:20 am

wow joso I never saw it before

3:22 am

maybe a canada thing, pink powdered suger, disgusting stuff, mothers love it as thier child invarriablely ends up well dusted in pink

3:22 am

lol

3:23 am

cheese corn too, but that is yummy

3:24 am

fathers love it as their child invariably ends up well dusted in cheese ;)

3:25 am

it doesn't seem to spread as much, just orange palms

3:25 am

*giggle* Sorry, was just pulling your leg, joso.

3:26 am

I like cheese popcorn

3:26 am

but of corse anything is better with cheese ;)

3:26 am

you are all so out of the loop...lollygobble bliss bombs...popcorn covered in caramel and peanuts....to die for...and i probably will

3:27 am

so would love to show you all our cheese store... you would go wild.

3:27 am

crackerjack

3:27 am

I like crackerjacks too

3:27 am

omg rose, that sounds disgusting, lolllll.

3:28 am

not in a ball, but otherwhise the same thing

3:28 am

and then there are crunchy sugar-coated peanuts....omg....it would blow your mind...not to mention the ta5-buds.

3:29 am

not my thing, to be honest.

3:29 am

I like tha caramel corns, but not the powdered sugar

3:29 am

or chocolate covered peanuts--mmm

3:29 am

but we finally got our own milka chocolate with oreo cookies... and that is a blast!

3:29 am

oh, oh, oh...pugs...

3:29 am

oh pug, yes :)

3:29 am

I havent tried the powered sugar

3:30 am

can anyone else see my waist line expanding?

3:30 am

just from reading the chog. Mine as well, rose.

3:30 am

how about all of ours expanding-lol

3:32 am

All this as I sit here being a good boy with carrot celery sticks for a snack instead if nuking up some popcorn

3:32 am

poor joso...*mind picture of him splashing up and down the pool* to no avail...

3:32 am

you are a hero, joso. Does it help if I tell you I am sitting here with only a glass of water?

3:33 am

I got coffee( and black at that)

3:33 am

I have popcorn just one floor away

3:33 am

I like celery with peanutbutter

3:33 am

roflol pug!

3:33 am

well, i'm not sprite. bourbon and lemonade...well i did burn up all th5 calories this afternoon.

3:34 am

happy with my drink, earl grey tea

3:34 am

hehehe rose, good for you. So glad you are on the mend.

3:34 am

a good tea does wonders

3:34 am

ahh, earl grey tea...yummy

3:35 am

your execise regiem sounds much more interesting than mine

3:35 am

am I the only one drinking coffee

3:35 am

good morning

3:35 am

hiya ruby *hug* :)

3:36 am

pug, I like my special coffee... wiener melange. But otherwise, I don't drink coffee very often.

3:36 am

hi ruby welcome to snack hour

3:36 am

Hey Mrs Ruby! hugs

3:36 am

coffee is a funny thing for me, love the aroma, can't stand the taste

3:36 am

hi ruby

3:37 am

I like tea too but not as well as my coffee

3:37 am

Ruby, the french sugared popcorn, is it powdered sugar of caramel that they use?

3:37 am

already had two big cups of expresso with lots of boiled milk. How disgusting is that?

3:38 am

They just use sugar, caramel, I would like.

3:38 am

As for all those peanut things, I've just developed a (severe) peanut allergy in the last two uyears! Very weird at my age

3:38 am

not at all, ruby, sounds pretty normal. In Dutch that would be called a 'coffee all wrong' (koffie verkeerd) and lots and lots of people here like it that way.

3:38 am

I used to love crackjacks

3:39 am

thats what i assumed, seems well agreed here that all like caramel corn

3:40 am

I dont care for cream or sugar in my coffee but I do like it in my teas

3:40 am

godd morning dear ruby

3:40 am

*good*

3:40 am

I like my tea with a bit of honey

3:41 am

of course, am drinking it without now.

3:41 am

pugs, opposite to me

3:41 am

black tea for me

I like my peas with honey, I've done it all my life, it makes,them taste quite funny but it keeps them on my knife

3:42 am

My sister loves teas, I bet shes got 25 different kinds

Fave childhood rhyme

3:42 am

roflollll Chrissie! I like that!

3:42 am

joso, almost black for me, just wave the milk over the cup/mug

3:42 am

yeach

3:42 am

hahah chrissie, picturing eating peas on a knife!

3:43 am

lol, chrissie...my GRANDFATHER used to quote that...

A A Milne I think

3:43 am

kind of like the dutch joke: Why are you eating your soup with your knife? Cause my fork is leaky.

lol sprite

Now you see why most of o-o's quotes go over my head :)

3:45 am

when he was about 5 my youngest brother labored for a couple of days to come up with an original joke, what he came up with was, why did the boy swollow the spoon; so he could eat with his mouth.

3:45 am

lol, I like yours just as much, Chrissie

3:46 am

awwww that is sweet, joso

3:50 am

he can be that way sometimes, but on the otherhand, when he thought he had a new swear word that dad hadden't heard decided to call dad it thinking dad would believe it was a complement because of the big grinn.

3:50 am

ouch :D

3:50 am

blood drained right out of his face, lol

3:51 am

very risky. I take it your dad made him regret that.

Can just imagine the big grin disappearing

3:53 am

to bed without dinner or something, nothing too harsh. I think the real punishment was dad, caught totaly by suprise shouting a suprised WHAT DID YOU SAY. I think his life flashed

3:54 am

oh, dear, joso

3:54 am

lol, well that made it all clear, for sure

3:55 am

Bro's defense, a stuttered I I I dddin't think you knew that word didn't help him much. lol

3:55 am

speaking of kids... I have this weird son that one moment tells me of in unacceptably rude terms and the next comes home and takes my hand and holds it.

3:55 am

tells me off*

3:56 am

* giggle * made me remember me calling my dad a "sod'...he thought i had something else...he asked, do you know what that means? i said, a lump of dirt...not quite what he was expecting..

3:56 am

roflol joso, no, that wouldn't fly with me either

3:56 am

good one, rose

3:57 am

of course i was alway a perfect angel

3:57 am

of course, of course. Hm-m. Yes, sure.

4:26 am

s'okay pugs, enjoy it, hun

4:26 am

back. Sleep well, peach!

4:26 am

which movie, pug?

4:27 am

desert flower a bio about this girl from Somaila that turned into a top model

4:27 am

oh, I have read her story, in a magazine once. Enjoy, pug. She is a heroine.

4:28 am

its allmost over--a good movie

4:29 am

okay its over now Iam free to talk--dont know if thats good or bad news for you guys---lol

4:30 am

wb pug, and it is GOOD news :)

4:30 am

definetly good news pug

4:31 am

Sprite is it common that you have to spend the whole day when you go to the clinic--I was going to ask you this before

4:31 am

thanks you guys

4:33 am

I have been in a therapy group for over a year now, pug, that works a full day in the week. And from Sep 30 on, I will do a full day of therapy a week as well, on Mondays. It is not common, most therapies are like 45 minutes per session, once a week.

4:33 am

love to have your company pugs...* huge grin *

4:35 am

I was just wondering because all the ones you go to are all dayers

4:35 am

thank you Rose as I enjoy all of you guys

4:36 am

yes... true. Guess I am a tough cookie to crack. Did years and years of the normal kind of therapy as well. It is a long haul.

4:36 am

I was thinking afters several hours of drilling they would get you to crack--lol

4:37 am

How did you come upon this

4:37 am

hehehe indeed. I learned so much in this last year of therapy.

4:38 am

how long do you have to go to the monday ones now

4:38 am

my psychiatrist suggested it. It is a group run by her colleague, whom I knew as well. And my psych is supervising the whole thing.

4:39 am

as for the clinic I will be going to for the eating disorder, that was suggested to me by my doctor and after I checked it out, I asked my psychiatrist about it and she had good experiences with them.

4:39 am

is everyone in the group have the same problems as what you have

4:40 am

Don't know how long to the Monday one, we will see.

4:40 am

not the Friday group, pug, we all have different issues. But the Monday group will be all people with obesitas and eating disorders.

4:41 am

do YOU think you are ready to leave the friday group

4:42 am

yes. I would have to stop anyway, because the insurance only will pay for one year. But I am ready. Learned what I could there. Now I am ready for a new challenge.

4:44 am

I hope this monday group helps you then and lets you find the answers you are seaking

4:44 am

I hope so too, pug. Am pretty positive about it. They told me I was exactly in the right place, after hearing my story. That gives me confidence.

4:45 am

how many are in your group there

4:45 am

a maximum of 8, but probably 6.

4:46 am

all women?

4:46 am

I wouldn't have been able to start in this group if I hadn't had the experience of last year's group therapy. So it all fits together somehow.

4:46 am

I don't know, pug. Not necessarily.

4:48 am

Maybe you can make a friend there .Someone that you can each hold hands through the process

4:49 am

it is possible. We will see :) For starters I will keep a low profile and watch a lot. I need time to learn to trust others, so I will take that time to get settled.

4:50 am

I understand that totally---plus you get to travel too and that in its self is fun too

4:51 am

by bike and bus and train!

4:51 am

lol... it is taxing, but yes, in a way it is fun too. I am experiencing a sense of freedom that I haven't felt in ages.

4:51 am

while I can see holding back until you are confident of the group, it suprises me a bit to hear you say that, you are so open here sprite.

4:51 am

take the time to enjoy!

4:52 am

thanks joso, that is so good to hear. Yes, I appear very open. For me it is easier to trust people onlline than IRL, to be honest. But you guys have become my friends and I trust you a LOT.

4:52 am

its easier for me here cause you are not looking into anyones eyes

4:53 am

I understand, pug

4:54 am

you know Sprite I was on DS and looking at some of the different groups and there is one for internet addictions---lol--I didnt explore it though

4:54 am

for the most part babble is the most kind enviroment I know

4:55 am

same here for me too Joso

4:55 am

lol pug, you know someone is cured when they no longer post there ;)

4:55 am

I agree, joso. A very special community. Lots of people who truly care.

4:55 am

hehehehehehe

4:56 am

Ive been at other sites and the people can be very rude and uncouth

4:58 am

we have had a few people here who enjoyed unpleasant arguments and fights, but somehow they seem to fade away pretty soon. Babble as a whole is very kind and caring.

4:58 am

Joso you might like the site Daily Strength...it has a group for anything from A-Z---the dont give up group is very uplifting

4:58 am

it is a good one, isn't it pug? I like that group best of all.

4:59 am

I do too--and if not for you I wouldnt had known about it

4:59 am

as you say, sprite, on the whole kind and caring. but some of us have been deeply hurt and are still very angry by other babblers.

4:59 am

just coincidence... or Someone pointing me the right way, grin. Glad to share. Without you, I wouldn't even have known about DS!

5:02 am

I've alway socilized best over a game, gives a defaulf subject to chat about

5:02 am

very true, rose. Especially the whole JC/Nancyboy stuff has hurt people deeply. It is tough to be conned and lied to about such important things.

5:02 am

never thought about that, but it is true, joso.

5:03 am

what was the whole jc/nancyboy thing?

5:03 am

hate to interrupt , but is the site just called daily strentgh?

5:03 am

someone pretending several persons, one famous, one who supposedly got ill and died. Lots of drama. And it was all a fake.

5:04 am

hi ivesy, love it that you join us! The link is: http://www.dailystrength.org/

5:05 am

ty . i am going to take a look. sounds like something i could use..

5:05 am

joso, you didn't miss much, except a lot of angst.

5:05 am

hope to see you there then as well, ivesy. If you want to befriend me, my handle there is spritelet.

5:06 am

I know people like that exist, can't figure out the mind that gets pleasure that way

5:06 am

and ivesy... I don't know anything about your problems, but here's a *hug* to give you a little bit of support.

5:07 am

same from me too ivesy

5:07 am

joso, I couldn't agree more. Must be a pretty pathetic and/or sick mindset that can think up stuff like that. The not-existing Nancyboy was mourned so much by us babblers. And it was not real. That hurts.

5:07 am

ty sprite! well son is a recovering drug addict.is doing well at this time. but its a struggle. and ty both. ! am waiting for email to complete registration.

5:08 am

good luck ivesy, hope it's what you are looking for.

5:08 am

awesome, ivesy. It is a good place to be, also very friendly and supportive. Quite a struggle, for you and your son... is he managing? And are you?

5:09 am

they have a group for parents of drugs addicts too.

5:09 am

he is doing very well. but have been here bfor, where he stays clean, then falls . have heard all the promises.. im afraid i have lost the faith to belive him, though i do try.

5:10 am

I think too that they have prof. there too, dont they sprite

5:10 am

yes, groups are monitored by professionals in that field, they are listed at the right of the page.

5:11 am

what a nightmare ivesy

5:11 am

I can imagine, ivesy. It is hard to keep believing if your faith ahs been crushed so many times. If he weren't your boy, you would never even consider believing him again. But since he is... you try. *hugs* Good for him that he is doing well so far. One day at a time, right?

5:13 am

I know all too well those feelings ivesy. Go through the same thing with my Hubby only his drug is booze

5:13 am

i will be looking at the drug support group for sure!no one can really help so to speak, but sharing with parents of drug addicts takes away the feeling of being alone in the fight

5:13 am

isnt easy pug, is it?

5:13 am

and the dont give up would help you ivesy for yourself

5:14 am

so true, ivesy. And it will give you a place to vent your pain and frustration, and know that the people reading it will truly understand.

5:14 am

pug, such a tough struggle :( *hugs*

5:14 am

no its not ivesy, if it werent for the one above I would of thrown in the towel many many times

5:14 am

booze is an evil drug. One of the worst addictions to overcome, or so they say.

5:16 am

its not just the booze but what all goes with it--the meanness and the money to pay lawyers and the list goes on and on

5:16 am

loving all of you. ivesy, hang in there, hun, you will make it through this, and so will your son.

5:16 am

yes... it influences every part of your life.

5:16 am

loving you right back, rose. You know you are such an inspiration and support to us all, don't you?

5:16 am

Love to you too Rose

5:18 am

Ivesy, one important thing is not to let his addiction bring you down into that hell. And its easy to get caught up in that web

5:18 am

afraid my son has pretty much wiped me out, mentally , physiclaly and finance. always think this one time will make him stop.. finally learned that nothing makes them stop except themselves.

5:19 am

does he live with you, ivesy?

5:19 am

as my cousin says. let go and let god.. and god cant help if i am staning in his way lol

5:19 am

You hit the nail right on the head Ivesy

5:20 am

hehehe nicely puyt

5:20 am

put*

5:20 am

morning all

5:20 am

no, sprite. he has his own place. is on public assistance. but he is now taking a class at the local college and looking for a job. he is also a vet. and thank god for that.. he has been in rehab 3x and detox 2x the last detox seems to have helped

5:20 am

morning Giant

5:21 am

hi glant

5:21 am

hiya Glant *hugs*

5:21 am

g'day glant

5:21 am

ivesy, I am glad he is living on his own. At least there is a door you can close and lock if you need some space for yourself.

5:22 am

ivesy - my cousin's daughter was a drug addict - they were told that she had to hit rock bottom before there was any chance of recovery - and that while they were 'helpinmg' her, they were inadvertently enabling her addiction. they eventually stopped helping her, she hit rock bottom, then they all worked to help and she is completely clean and has been for some years

5:22 am

thats great Giant

5:23 am

I have heard the same kind of story, Glant. Am so glad for your cousin and her daughter.

5:23 am

not that great - sadly the years of addiction have damaged her body, and she is terminally ill, - she will elave a ten yhear old boy to be cared for by others - she is only in her late 30s

5:23 am

oh i know i enabled him. because i always thought if i gave him things it would make him happy and he wouldnt use. took me a long time , and almost having a nervouse breakdown to smarten up. and that is a success story glant!! always happy to hear about an addict gone clean

5:24 am

omg Glant... so sorry. I guess it is slightly less awful than her dying an addict, but not by much. So sorry.

5:24 am

tough-love is hard to put to someone you love

5:25 am

it is very hard to do the tough love thing

5:25 am

ivesy, mothers do. I hope you don't blame yourself. To love them enough to hurt them is something so incredibly tough to learn.

5:25 am

ahh so sorry Giant--how sad--hugs

5:26 am

she was told about 4 years ago that there had been too much damage to her body to live long ar experience good health. Sadly, her mother died of lung cancer in January, and we doubt she will see the year out herself. Drugs are terrible thnings, and the people who puch them are worse.

5:26 am

*push

5:27 am

yes glant.. they dont realize what the drugs do . so sorry to hear that. to this day i live with the fear that my son will overdose and i will find him dead. its never goes away. wow. i havent gotten all this out in so long !! ty

5:28 am

we are here for you ivesy anytime you need to vent

5:28 am

I am a great ebliever in the legalisation and state control of drugs. At least the drugs would be pure and people wouldn;t turn to crime to finance their habits, and maybe young ones would be less interested in trying things out. Also, there'd be no money to be made by criminasl

5:28 am

horrible, Glant. I can't do anything but pray for you all and send you lots of hugs. Yes, drugs pushers should be whipped, salted and shot.

5:28 am

ivesy, so glad you told us. Please vent whenever you need to, we will be here.

5:28 am

i know. and i thank all of you.

5:29 am

sadly, some of the drug pushers are addicts who can only finance their own addictions by selling to others - state drug provision would stop thta too

5:30 am

Glant, we have that here for soft drugs and it works. But a lot of pressure from other european countries to make soft drugs illegal again, alas. They think it promotes use. But I think it takes away a lot of the criminality and risk.

5:30 am

so much evil is done in this world for a purse of money

5:30 am

indeed, Glant. That is a sad thing.

5:30 am

Portugal have been very brave with their stance, and it seems to be working

5:32 am

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_poli\ncy_of_Portugal

5:34 am

or: http://tinyurl.com/yzf5jo3

5:38 am

I also think many addicts - whatever their addiction - suffer from low self esteem. If we changed the education system to make life skills compulsory - especially parenting - we could learn to raise children with hih self esteem, who may not fall into addiction. Money manageent would be good, too!

5:38 am

and now that I have killed the chog, I'll shut up :-)

5:38 am

lol please don't, Glant, the chog will repair itself soon enough.

5:39 am

:-) hoping everybody has just gine quiet because they are reading about portuguese drug policies

5:39 am

ohhhh I SOOO agree! Life skills should be #1 in each and every school. So crazy to learn people how to read maps but not to read people. Etc.

5:40 am

lol, probably!

5:40 am

if we are confident and believe in ourselves, we can learn anything we want to

5:40 am

i just keep quiet as I have no experiance to contribute, fortunately.

5:40 am

I had to go get more coffee so I can exercise running to the BR every 10 seconds and had to put some socks on my cold feet

5:40 am

sorry, my dears, was off getting meds ready. becoming quite late here.

5:41 am

the BR pug?

5:41 am

*giggles at puglet's image, running with the coffee bladder*

5:41 am

oh, got it :-)

5:41 am

and glant, you are always welcome to express and/or vent your feelings here. {{higs}}

5:42 am

you night owl you, rose ;)

5:42 am

I try not to rant too often, but often have an alternative perspective. Sometimes this is a good thing :-)

5:43 am

it's weird, isn't it? click over to 9pm and my inner spring goes twang...lol

5:43 am

I like to read your input, Glant. And feel free to rant whenever you need.

5:43 am

love your inner spring, rose, lollll

5:43 am

its almost 7 am here and Ive been on here since 1--wonder if I do have a problem with the internet

5:44 am

nah, never, pug. You just need your friends.

5:44 am

I think I am a borderline addictive personality. I can live without alcohol for months, but if it is in the hosue, I have to drink it. The concept of a wine cellar is fine in the abstrac, but if I had one it would be empty before long!

5:44 am

my husband is the same, Glant.

5:44 am

and I am definitely an internet addict LOl p b ut that's because that's where all my fiends are!

5:44 am

i don't, sprite. i would love to be able to stay awake until late...my mother always said i was half aborigine...fill my tummy, and i lie down and sleep like the dead.

5:45 am

long past bedtime for me, g'nite all

5:45 am

I know that I shouldn;t buy alcohol, but sometimes I can't resist

5:45 am

night Joso

5:45 am

night joso

5:45 am

night, joso, hope you have a good one, mate

5:47 am

I hope Ivesy can find some help for her own self at DS

5:47 am

my chat is off center here is your guys

5:48 am

{{glant}}

5:48 am

you're fine here, pugs

5:48 am

that's my fault for putting a link in the chog, sorry

5:48 am

hi ruby

5:48 am

oh good Ruby is back

5:49 am

uh oh, glant can be a member of our women's group, lol

5:49 am

We were criticize for whining the other day, glant, and I stuck up for all of us, much to some's displeasure

5:49 am

" our women's group' = joso's harem...lol

5:49 am

If we can't vent and discuss and offer advice here, where else?

5:50 am

oh dear

5:50 am

well just finished my registration at daily strength. first group i joined was for families of drug addicts. first thing i see is the post i am almost losing hope!! ty all for getting me to this site

5:50 am

I don;t know why people cricicise - it's not compulsory to read the chog

5:50 am

and joso is an"honorary member" because he listens and is sympathetic

5:50 am

*criticise

5:50 am

awesome, ivesy!

5:50 am

good for you ivesy - I hope it helps you

5:51 am

that's exactly what I said, glant, but in slightly nastier terms lol

5:51 am

great Ivesy--hope you find comfort there

5:51 am

ivesy: that sounds like a wonderful thing

5:51 am

some things are just meant to be. i was here at the rite time.. .amazing lol

5:51 am

serendipity

5:52 am

ruby, sweetheart, I didn't mean to attack you for venting, I was just saying that there is no need for calling names... keep the argument about what people DO and not about what people ARE, and things won't get so heated and unproductive.

5:52 am

a soup is no good with out a bit of spice--lol

5:53 am

sprite: I didn't think you attacked me. You never would. I just think, very rarely, that calling a spade a spade may ne necessary. And I was provoked on the part of my girlfriends

5:53 am

not for myself

5:53 am

you are part of my extended family, sprite

Could I get a clue for he6/24, please?

5:54 am

you are part of mine too Ruby

5:54 am

helloo marc

5:54 am

he + cons + male person

5:54 am

hehehe, our ruby to the rescue. But I wasn't feeling slighted by o-o. I think we all have a right to speak our minds. I can imagine someone reading chog in the hope for some lifeline or support or distraction they can't bring themselves to ask for. And I can imagine some topics hitting someone on a sore spot as well.

5:54 am

(don't have an he6)

5:55 am

and you of mine, ruby, for ever. Luv you to pieces and you know it :)

5:55 am

{{pug, can I be an "extra" sister?

5:55 am

he6: kind of like a killer for rent, but change first vowel.

5:55 am

well g'day marc.are you goodly?

5:55 am

hi Marc :D

5:55 am

of course Ruby already felt like that towards you

got it, thanks

5:56 am

6:02 am

I'm tired, maybe I'll get traded in.....

6:12 am

ruby i havent figured it out either

6:12 am

6:12 am

Works for me!

6:12 am

i got it, ths

Is there a5 letter word after the en for the en7? If so could I have the stats, please?

6:12 am

it should, ruby. en + 3rd singular of the verb of what you do with your mouth and food, to sample. Leave out the second T.

6:13 am

only one en word, Marc.

6:13 am

hiya zooz! Haven't seen you in days and missed you! How are you?

6:13 am

that zzzoozz is so smart!

I understand, zooz. Know that I hold you in my prayers every day, even if you don't chat. And please feel free to email me if you want and can... I am here.

6:18 am

I think the tough thing about the en word is that it looks like a plural and it doesn't have a singular :)

6:18 am

thanks Sprite

6:18 am

still missing 2, though, pug!

6:18 am

probably both starting T, unless there is a V8?

9:56 am

'morning, babblers

9:56 am

ah, thanks jmc, when I clicked on the word, didn't have a meaning

9:56 am

hi welki

9:56 am

It could also be a variant spelling of a word that ends izo that means a person of mixed race. Who knows?

9:57 am

morning welki

it didn't have a meaning but below it had the word start mae. . . .so that is what i decided. . .

10:03 am

explain this to me - the top e is all by itself, no other e's in the neighborhood - not a singleton?

10:04 am

on second cup of coffee, so this is definitely a welki-induced confusion :)

10:05 am

by singleton i meant a letter with only one word. . . but i agree it is not absolutely clear that is what i meant

10:05 am

Not a singleton, just lonely :(

10:05 am

ohhhhh, i get it! thanks

10:05 am

since there were two Es on the row and two Es on the row it was the only way i could "single" it out as it were. . .

i was the only one who didn't understand, so it wasn't you, toots *lol*

10:07 am

10:07 am

A woman said to her husband " go to the shop and get me a pint of milk, if they have avocados get me six"

10:07 am

He came back with six pints of milk

10:07 am

*lol* chrissie - i have one of those :)

10:07 am

well some of us are literal. . . :-)

10:07 am

understandable, Chrissie

10:08 am

But he only did what he was told

10:08 am

i wouldn't do it but I would clarify in advance. . .

10:08 am

Good Morning Everyone. How are you all today?

10:08 am

hi, nef

10:08 am

my favorite story for my hubby to tell about my boy was that we were somewhere talking to people and my boy was kicking my ankle to get my attention. . .

10:09 am

hi nef!

10:09 am

so hubby said: don't kick your mother on that ankle so the boy. .. .

10:09 am

Hi welki and jmc! :-)

10:09 am

went to the other side and kicked my other ankle. . . we were both so proud of him! haha

10:09 am

great thanks Nef, was very relieved that we would not be selling coffee in the Market this morning due to inclement weather

10:10 am

Lol, is that a true story jmc?

10:10 am

I like your boy :)

10:10 am

I have 2 kids like that, jmc. Very literal...

10:10 am

yes it is a true story. . .

10:11 am

flosey, you sell coffee?

10:11 am

my hubby should have be more precise in his direction! haha

10:12 am

as volunteer Neff, it's brought in from an island in Nicaragua - fair trade and our people go down to make sure the workers are well paid and looked after - they also have a program to get young boys off the streets (and drugs)

10:13 am

good for you flosey!

10:13 am

Worthy cause flosey

10:14 am

sounds like a worthwhile cause, flossy. But I can understand not wanting to do it in bad weather. (I really don't care to be wet and cold myself)

10:14 am

nbt

10:14 am

Good day to all.

10:14 am

I wish there was more fair trade like that in the world.

10:14 am

10:14 am

Hi scrabs

10:14 am

Hi Scrabs

10:14 am

hi scrabs

10:15 am

It's going to rain all day so I have no excuse to not declutter/clean except...a huge Babble grid!

10:17 am

Woot a biggie!

10:18 am

Woof woof, Bichon.

10:18 am

YAY for the large grid, Scrabs! I appreciate distractions like that

10:18 am

But I do need to declutter!

10:18 am

That's just what they're doing now Scrabs.

10:19 am

Woof, woof, Marco & Polo!

10:19 am

I wish my hbby would get that idea Scrabs

10:19 am

I just decluttered a shelf in my linen closet..many a sheet and pillowcase will be gone

10:20 am

and I feel lighter

10:20 am

Barking or decluttering, Bichon?

10:20 am

Barking, some other dogs walked by our house. Now they're going back to sleep

10:21 am

There's a bunch of charities that do curb-side pick up here and every week one or another calls; so I always say yes I have something and I've been slowly decluttering for over a year now.

10:22 am

Good for you, Nef. On Craiglist you can list "curb alert" too.

10:23 am

Our garage is wall-to-wall junk and he'd better get it out before the weather gets cold and we can park the cars inside overnight

10:23 am

I didn't see the volcano :(

10:23 am

I didn't know that, Scrabs. I don't use Craigslist often; but I will keep that in mind now

10:24 am

TY, Annie.

10:25 am

bichon, we have 2 basement windows that open into the garage (and half the garage is also taken up by a handicap ramp; but that's another story). Whenever we parked the car(s) in the garage it would set off the CO alarms; so we haven't used the garage for cars for years.

10:26 am

So you have to shovel and scrape ice in the winter--tough work.

10:26 am

I'm going to replace the windows with the glass blocks "one of these days" but always end up spending the money on something else.

10:27 am

This may be a dumb question, but why not just close the basement windows?

10:27 am

I will not scrape ice off the windshields in the AM

10:27 am

Scraping ice can be very tough.

10:28 am

Actually the reason the garage is full of junk is that I cleaned this summer before we had company and put the junk from the house into the garage. I suppose those boxes will make a reappearance

10:29 am

Molly, they are closed and we've tried sealing them various ways in the past but now I had a handyman who showed us the sills are shot; so the only answer is pulling them out and redoing the whole problem

10:30 am

Oh, I get it now, Nef. Seems like an odd structural design. Hope you can get it fixed soon. Seems a shame to have a garage you can't use.

10:30 am

I don't mind scraping the ice off the windshield that much; we have BIG ice scrapers that work quite well

10:31 am

I covet one of those expensive cars with remote start up that will defrost while you finish your coffee.

10:32 am

Weather's getting bad here, but the real rain won't come til this evening. It's over Scrabs now

10:32 am

Yep, it started raining in the night and will continue all day. Flash flood warnings til 3pm.

10:32 am

here, unless you have a garage, you have to plug your cars in overnight so block heaters keep the oil fluid

10:33 am

Hi welki--you are way north!

10:33 am

stats for bottom a pls

10:33 am

The garage was added on a few years after the house was built; so the windows have built-in window wells and permanent covers over them too. The one(beyond the kitchen side door) isn't even noticeable; but the front one partially blocks the walk-in garage door and is a pain

10:34 am

12:19 pm

not only is the Black Studies (now called African American Studies) a small department, but it's pretty seriously integrated. Last night they awarded a scholarship to a black woman who is majoring in Irish Studies, and a white woman who is a student of the civil war.

12:21 pm

Now THAT is diversity. Sounds like an interesting group.

Bye Nan

12:21 pm

that's really interesting harp.. why would a black woman study Irish history.. what a trip

12:24 pm

Certain cultures have exhibited very anti-Irish sentiment. It could have been an interest in that.

12:25 pm

I think all cultures have their own anti-sentiment .. by and large

12:26 pm

I didn't get a chance to talk to her so I don't know her story.

12:26 pm

Alex Hailey has Irish ancestors

12:27 pm

*tosses in the towel.. heads to list*

12:32 pm

All cultures may have their anti-sentiment. Ireland still has a portion of their country usurped by another. Makes it hard for the natives.

12:37 pm

I don't really know enough about Ireland to comment..but one of my closest friends is Irish and from there.

1:31 pm

We bought some macs in upstate NY last weekend. We both think they are too ta4. My husband suggested they would make good pie. I just looked at him and said, "start baking". Needless to say, we have no pie.

1:34 pm

lol...had a caramel apple last year...asked for a tart apple. It ended up to be very sour instead of tart. Thinking it was picked too early

1:35 pm

they make great sauce... no sugar... just cinnamon,,... my babies love it

1:35 pm

Best not to have pie in the house, because I will eat it!

1:38 pm

judi,get hubby to make crossy's famous apple desset. you get a lasagna dish,unroll an etire tube of pilsbury crescent roll dough into it,letting it go up the side of the dish a bit,peel and cut about 8 apples into slices and spread overtop of dough evenly. now add 1 tsp of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of mutmeg (or just use allspice) and one table spoon of brown sugar and bake in oven:))

2:15 pm

serve warm with scoop of Fr vanillia ice cream:)

2:16 pm

if you wish to pre bake the crust for pudding dessets or cream pies,just roll it out and cook at 275 for 8 minutes

2:17 pm

2:41 pm

mom23, i would be totally lost living in a place without winter and without the beauty of apple blossoms dancing in the wind and the fall smell of the cider presses at work

2:43 pm

Wasn't sure I'd be happy making the move, but promised hubby I'd do it and give him 5 yrs before begging him to move me back. That was almost 4 yrs ago, and not seeing a move in my near future! Cider donuts, fresh (not past'zed) cider ... now I'm hungry!

2:44 pm

then i better not tell you about the apple pound cake i am making tomorrow

2:45 pm

aaaaaaaargh! darn you, crossy!

2:45 pm

nope.i was wrong.the crew requests the amish cinnamon bread...

2:45 pm

Mom, you are much better off in a place where nothing freezes and you don't have to wear a winter coat. You can buy Fall treats or make them. : )

2:45 pm

amish cinnamon bread Amish Cinnamon Bread Ingredients Batter: 1 cup butter, softened 2 cups sugar 2 eggs 2 cups butter milk 4 cups flour 2 teaspoons baking soda Cinnamon sugar mixture: 2/3 cups sugar 2 teaspoons cinnamon Instructions: Super easy sweet bread.

2:45 pm

sorry bout the big post

hello everyone. crossy, perhaps put it into your profile next time?

2:46 pm

perhaps

2:46 pm

i am sure i will be forgiven however

how is everyone this beautiful day?

2:48 pm

Just copied & pasted! One question -- am I allowed to use an electric mixer since it's Amish ;-P

2:48 pm

see that butter though? a full half cup in each loaf! so those on a diet,you have been warned

well , there is no bacon in the pb today so i suppose so.

2:48 pm

lol.no mom,just a wooden spoon:)

2:49 pm

Everything's better with butter -- except bacon! Found that out quite by accident recently. Bacon has the ability to stand alone!

2:49 pm

bacon..the wonder food

free food = the best.kind. that is what i found today whilst running errands.

2:51 pm

Good idea TO. That way people can find the recipe without digging through the archives.

2:51 pm

free is good.as long as it is not the "quick eat it before it expires" type of free

2:51 pm

Tks for the apple desset info, cross. Gotta run. Later!

2:51 pm

tc mom

if i may share, i realuctantly drove last minute to a shredding event where they urged me to take pretzels. i don't usualyy but these were minis and still warm

2:53 pm

<---Loves soft pretzels

2:53 pm

<----- has never had fresh pretzels

i don't usually but i took one, they were light and i had taken meds without breakfast.

2:54 pm

The Amish market near where I live has soft pretzels. They are SO good.

but that is only the beginning. :)

2:55 pm

closest i have come would be campfire bannock wrapped around a stick

well cross, you have to wait 24 hours before dwimming if you eat one normally :)

3:02 pm

I never eat before dwimming :D

:P

3:03 pm

Too bad there are no Amish markets in Canada.

do you eat them with mustard, molly?

pretzels freeze well and ship well even not frozen. revive in microwave.

3:04 pm

we have mennonite markets and are content

molly, we danced outdoors at a street festival the other night under that gorgrous full moon. lots osf photos and vids taken but none have shown up as yet.

3:13 pm

4:20 pm

Hi Gran Mere

4:20 pm

4:20 pm

Hi there, stidgemere.

4:21 pm

hi granmere

4:21 pm

Hi Molly. Today I'm getting food ready for a birthday party. We will just need to reheat and the foods are such that they are usually better the next day.

4:22 pm

Sounds like pretty nice last-day-of-summer for most of us.

4:22 pm

Sounds good. I love birthday parties. : )

4:24 pm

We shall set virtual places for you all. I'm gong to make spoon bread to go with our green beans and tomatoes.

4:24 pm

brb

4:25 pm

mmm, sounds good altho I am not sure what spoon bread is

4:25 pm

YUM! I love fresh green beans and tomatoes(eating plenty of our own here too)

4:25 pm

(I don't know what spoon bread is either, peri)

4:26 pm

Spoon bread is like corn bread.

4:27 pm

ok, then I would like it

4:27 pm

More pudding like though.

4:27 pm

mmm, maybe not

4:27 pm

Or a souffle.

4:28 pm

sounds interesting; I'm Googling it now

4:28 pm

Kind of like a souffle but with cornmeal. It is very soft and your comparison with pudding, Molly, is apt.

4:28 pm

I love it when I'm apt.

4:28 pm

My husband finds cornbread too dry for his tastes but spoon bread is his favorite.

4:29 pm

it looks good; I'll have to talk DH in to making some (HE is the baker in this house!)

4:30 pm

Depending on how you make it, cornbread can be dry. My recipe is pretty moist though.

4:31 pm

My recipe is moist, too, Molly but oh well. What he can't pile enough butter on is too dry.

4:31 pm

FW. happy babbling all

7:44 pm

baaaaadly too

7:45 pm

what is the sound made my goats called? dogs bark, owls hoot, etc. like that.

7:45 pm

bleat? or is that sheep

7:45 pm

i think they baa like sheep...

7:47 pm

hmm... i think maybe both, but i can't even bring a goat call to mind.

7:47 pm

i looked up bleat and it says that the sound is made by sheep, goats, or calfs....

7:48 pm

well.. if you can't bleat them.. join them

7:48 pm

i know that in crossword puzzles, goats and sheep say baa....

7:48 pm

better one, ru...

7:49 pm

i bleat from time to time.

7:51 pm

Found this: "the goat went "Maa! Maa!", or "naa, naa" something similar. This is distinct from the sheep on the previous page of the book, which of course says "Baa!". Source: The Very Busy Spider, Eric Carle - the guy who created The Hungry Caterpillar.?

7:52 pm

wow. well done, jwr.

7:52 pm

question mark should be exchanged for an "end quote"

7:52 pm

not moi-aaa, mab -- just google

7:53 pm

superior googling, then

7:53 pm

and he didn't bleat around the bush either

7:54 pm

ooops. Now you know what I do with the time I'm supposed to be working!

7:54 pm

ruru: Booooooooo

7:54 pm

what are we? we are ourselves. what are we not? sheep. what does the sheep go? baaah.

7:55 pm

and how, pray tell, do WE go?

7:55 pm

we go 'bar bar bar,' if we are barbarians.

7:56 pm

we go round the mulberry bush... ;o)

7:56 pm

I thought only French elephants did that

7:57 pm

babar, i love him. he always looks smart. oui?

7:57 pm

ah oui, and speaks so well.

7:57 pm

oh - banned book week starts tomorrow.

7:58 pm

mab -- love the jump from Babar to banned books

7:58 pm

i was reminded of the belgian tin tin

7:58 pm

are any books banned anymore -- other than by Muslims?

7:58 pm

who was banned somewhere.

7:59 pm

school libraries in some places still ban books...

7:59 pm

mostly libraries by library boards, and school reading lists.

7:59 pm

Harry Potter was banned in some because of the element of magic....

8:00 pm

oh brother.

8:00 pm

I didn't know tintin was bannable ... probably the dogs fault. btw, how do French dogs go? I know it isn't woof.

8:00 pm

wizards are like witches...

8:00 pm

woeuf...

8:00 pm

sherman alexie was banned for negative american indian content. of course he is himself indian.

8:00 pm

re banned books, I was thinking more of books banned by whole countries -- Lady Chatterly, etc.

8:01 pm

i don't think that sort of thing happens any more.

8:02 pm

except in dictatorships....

8:02 pm

like james's ulysses, or henry miller

8:02 pm

Dr. Zhivago was banned in Russia when it came out...

8:02 pm

salman rushdie had a run in fairly recently :D

8:02 pm

8:02 pm

true, pen. kite runner was banned in malaysia

8:02 pm

genI, rather

8:02 pm

my russian friend was accused of having it....she had passed it on to someone else...

8:02 pm

think the response went beyond "banned"

8:03 pm

i know that, jwr...but the people who ban books don't know the difference.....

8:03 pm

wizards have wands jw :D

8:03 pm

ha!

8:03 pm

my Russian friend was really threatened when it happened

8:04 pm

ty ruru - I couldn't think of a good substitute

8:05 pm

the good witch, Glinda, had a wand, but not that kind of course.

8:05 pm

Glinda was actually in drag and was really Glarry

8:06 pm

oh pen - the Do know the difference, they can't think of anything else! ... Not to change the subject, but I am almost through the four books of the Wicked quartet by Maguire. Can never ever see the Oz characters the same way.

but not that he's suddenly become conservative i fear his writing will suffer

8:09 pm

orthodox and conservative

8:09 pm

hey all (((Min))) I survived my second full week of school, the last two days voiceless... *wicked teacher grin* I love being able to teach even when I have no voice. I grab the kid closest to me, whisper the directions to that child and have them repeat after me. :-)

8:10 pm

are you a full time teacher, stidmama?

8:10 pm

so I am well past halfway, and need the A in the bottom row for NBT -- any help?

8:10 pm

Full-year, .6 time this year, mab. LOVE it!

8:11 pm

Good for you on your first two weeks! I was out of work on Friday because of jury duty. Have to do it again on Monday

8:11 pm

that's really wonderful; happy for you.

8:11 pm

at 4/5...at 5/12....at 6/21...

8:12 pm

oof. jury duty? I dread things like that. I have to be out on Oct 2 for stupid fiddle-farty admin nonsense. But I had already planned a "reader's workshop" and library day for that day so the kids won't lose any ground. The subs in the school so far this year have been pretty anemic.

8:12 pm

thanks penquis

8:12 pm

got 'em!

8:12 pm

yw

8:14 pm

thanks, mab -- I didn't want full-time work, this part-time is almost perfect because I have my evenings mostly free and I can get enough done during the week that I can take real time off for "life" on the weekends! WAY easier than when I did the long-term, full-time subbing last year.

8:14 pm

delightful talking to you all - I only get to use the computer at work at night (from 7pm to 7am) so rarely get an extended chat. Do lurk from time to time ... I have good peripheral vision. Best of communication (and joy of teaching) to you all.

8:14 pm

sounds ideal. you worked so hard for this.

8:15 pm

nice to "see" you jwr. Be well. :-)

8:15 pm

well you are always welcome jwr

8:16 pm

have a grand grid -- poof!

8:19 pm

Goodnight jwr! i will see you tomorrow in the chog maybe.

8:21 pm

does anyone speak spanish? there is a word, wahida, or wahita.... can't find it googling and don't know what it means.

8:22 pm

it's not a spanish word, mab

8:22 pm

what is the context?

8:23 pm

i hear something like that in latino songs. it may be a type of music, like son

8:23 pm

I speak spanish.. I don't know wahita

8:25 pm

what type of music? if it's hip hop or something modern like that it might be a nonsense word. But out of context it's hard to tell. It is a name of middle eastern origin, though.

8:26 pm

dictionary...Wahita is a beautiful, confident man/woman who loves the wilderness and loves to be with her family at all times. Wahita loves to help people and loves animals, especially turtles. Wahita has a strong future ahead of her with great hope and will run into a large sum of money in the future.

8:26 pm

i must be hearing it wrong. it's latin american jazz/pop.

hello all

8:26 pm

urban dictionary....and this for wahida... 1. An extravagant name for a humble soul. True definition is "unique" 2. Someone who also loves Queen

8:27 pm

i know...weird...

!

8:27 pm

hm. I don't speak urban... *wicked babble grin*

8:27 pm

i am hearing it incorrectly.

8:28 pm

my town has 7500 people.....largest in the county...i don't speak urban either, lol....

8:28 pm

i hope you don't speak rural at school, stid.

8:28 pm

Juanita might sound like "wahita" if it were jumbled up in other sounds?

good call, stiddy and hi

8:29 pm

Hello 72 Temple Owl! How are you doing? Welcome to grid

8:29 pm

I speak SAE at school, unless I need to get their attention. Then I tend to speak Spanish, German, French or Italian. Or sometimes Ogre.

8:29 pm

hey TO!

8:29 pm

aha! juahita! music of cuba.

hi min. i was supposed to be hearing steely dan, instead i am sitting here babbling and eating.

8:30 pm

why the change of plans?

8:30 pm

by the way, hi temple. was in spanish muddle.

the radio station did not send over the canopy or the kit, even though I volunteered to get the kit. and it was pouring. we could have talked our way in, but if not then we would be in the pouring rain, the fourth person who was the kit person did not show and we could not raise her on the phone.

did not feel like fighting 9,-- cars in the rain and mud just to stand on the back.

8:32 pm

now temple is speaking a strange language

:)

8:32 pm

oh, outdoor concert?

8:32 pm

wow. too bad it didn't work out, but at least you're not out catching cold.

in other words, we were to do PR for the radio station but had not the supplies.

8:33 pm

oh, i see.

really. when i saw them two years ago i was middle of thrid row. anything less would be disappointing. ound out the kid who is the coordinator is moving on in a month, probably does not care.

8:34 pm

oh, short-timer syndrome.

but the day was very good up till then and lad to be home now.

8:34 pm

i think that rain is coming new england way

now does anyone have premium cable who can reommend a show to watch? HBO has newsroom and boardwalk empire. cable is unscrambled on demand

8:35 pm

Rain is definitely headed our way, the skies are glowering at me.

i don't know which network has which series since i don't have premium service. i watched all the movies when they were ree two weeks ago.

8:37 pm

we love the Newsroom on HBO. I like boardwalk empire, but am behind on watching

8:38 pm

hey jessmom

8:39 pm

hi stid & everyone

8:40 pm

9:57 pm

it's the last six lines in a sonnet....the meaning of the word

9:58 pm

Thanks much, pen

9:58 pm

but that word--ses--is a musical group of so many people. Or any group of that number

9:59 pm

i don't think it's the same word....at least the dictionary doesn't think so....that word has an x in it....

9:59 pm

but perhaps they are interchangeable...

10:00 pm

I thought ses was another number, like sex--guess you're right--I should know sonnets--what's the first eight called?

10:01 pm

i have no idea....

10:02 pm

enable says octave. duh. Also the ses variety can be a variant if the sex--so it's both.
