1:01 am

night jilli

1:02 am

that's a great start

saw the opening weekend of the Cleveland Orchestra. Beethoven Emperor Concerto and Mahler 4.

nite, jilli!

1:02 am

I like Mahler too

French horns were out of this world. If you ask me they should make a million dollars a year.

Even my sometimes restless 22-year-old sat through it rapt.

1:03 am

wow

The audience was really in it, none of the usual coughing that plagues concerts sometimes.

Wow, this grid has a lott of "onesies".

1:04 am

that's nice

1:04 am

I saw yoyo ma once and you could have heard a pin drop

1:05 am

who was the conductor?

1:05 am

who me?

1:05 am

or melon

The orchestra has a great ticket plan, too. You can buy a passcard in increments of ten vouchers at $30/each. The only restriction is that you can redeem them no earlier than the monday before a concert. Amazingly, there were seats left under that plan, so we sat in the dress circle for 30 bucks a pice; those are $120 seats!

Fabio Luisi of the Metropolitan Opera. Pianist was Helen Grimaud.

I saw YoYo Ma in Akron, ruru, same thing.

1:07 am

he's just incredible

My nephew, who was a budding cellist at the time was enthralled.

1:07 am

the richest sounds I've ever heard from a stringed instrument

Like dark chocolate in soud!

in sound!

1:08 am

Luisi is v. good!!

1:09 am

I loved Seji Ozawa (sp?).. he was great .. Michael Tilson Thomas is also excellent in SF

1:09 am

Seiji

1:10 am

thanks

Never saw Ozawa live, only on TV. A huge favorite in CLE is Pierre Boulez. He's getting on in years, has canceled in recent years, sorry to say.

1:10 am

saw him conduct several times

1:10 am

hi everyone

1:10 am

he's brilliant

hi mjc

1:10 am

hello mj

1:11 am

hello mjc (darling g/dtr) xx

1:11 am

FWs

hi dizg

1:11 am

yay diz

1:11 am

i'm really slow tonight

I saw Szell conduct. I was about 15.

I've played for a few notables. A highlight in my playing career was performing in the Verdi Requiem with none other than Robert Shaw.

1:13 am

wow

1:13 am

wow is right!

My favorite conductor at the late Cleveland Opera was Anton Coppola; he's Francis Ford's uncle. He would sing the arias as he rehearsed us in this raspy "godfather" voice. We'd talk about movies and food during rehearsal breaks.

1:15 am

I sat next to Francis at a wedding once

You don't say!

1:17 am

I didn't know he was from Cleveland

1:18 am

i need one more word to go to bed

He isn't. All our conductors at the opera were from out of town, mostly New York, as was Anton. We had him about one production a years through the 90s. I retired from playing professionally around 1998. I hear Coppola just retired, this from a friend who plays in the Tampa Opera orchestra.

1:20 am

ah

3 shy of nbt (have nbs). I need rightmost A, and the bottom row A, as well as the E to its right )in the bottom row).

1:21 am

that a is ae 5 i think

It took me a long time after retiring to get into going to concerts. Even now, when I go I acutely miss playing in an orchestra.

the rightmost or the bottomA?

1:21 am

I bet

1:22 am

not sure

1:22 am

the right most is at 4 I bet

It is hard to tell in this grid.

Nope, at4 was 2nd column A.

1:24 am

that bottom a is ad 7

1:24 am

the right is ae 5

I have none of the ad- words yet.

tx, now I have to put on my thinking cap (:

1:26 am

I just have h's and s's now

got the ae. Thanks (:

1:27 am

1:32 am

1:35 am

1:36 am

So, the coughing is less now?

1:36 am

1:37 am

Sending energy now.

1:39 am

1:40 am

1:40 am

Lets don't until your cough is completely gone. OK?

1:41 am

...lead ballooooons.. lead balloooooooons...

1:41 am

lolol, okay you two, will do.

1:41 am

concrete shoes, concrete shoes

1:42 am

ther is your problem, take off the shoes before swimming

1:43 am

oh, do you think that would help, joso?

1:43 am

it might cement your stroke granny :D

1:44 am

might be easier on your knee if you just ran arround barefoot altogether

1:44 am

*chuckling*

1:44 am

and if you keep to the kitchen....

1:44 am

or commando style granny :D

1:44 am

Thanks, granny.

1:57 am

Knew a girl who dated one, she was a waitress and liked him for the foot masauges after work, but apearantly it was not enough in the long run.

At 18 I had a boyfriend who liked to buy shoes for me. It veered toward strange...

1:59 am

I should think it really helped after being on ones feet for long.

At least I was the one who wore the heels (as far as i knew)...

1:59 am

veered sharply I imagine

My girlfriend and her hubby came last night and we went down to the campgrounds and enjoyed coffee and just visisting in the outdoors.Was a beautiful fallish evening

2:09 am

2:09 am

lovely, pugs.

2:10 am

we bring our pets into the church, or their photos, if they are no longer with us. they are blessed. people come from miles around, as not many churches do this.

2:10 am

what kind of gifts do you put in your box,Rose

2:11 am

I like that but have never heard of that

2:12 am

hmmm, grey lead peancils, colouring pencils, textas, erasers, pencil sharpener, lined exercise book, sunhat, hair clips, solar-powered torch...lots of stuff.

2:13 am

these boxes are going to a third world country.we have to nominate the age and sex of the child.

2:14 am

th5 kids apparently erase the previous years work from their workbooks in order to re-use them the next year.

2:15 am

I dont think any of us really knows what poor is and how lucky we do have it

2:18 am

out of lurking....we do the same at my school rose....what is lovely is that my own kids (allegedly adults..) still fill boxes and send them in with me. We are so fortunate. Lovely to think that you are doing the same on the other side of the world.

2:20 am

hey, dipp. i know it is world-wide. and yes, it's nice to know that we can ,make a difference. even if it is for only a short while.

2:24 am

ts + abbreviation for advertisement + vowel

2:24 am

They used to bless the animals here but it was before we arrived in France and our local Church has lost its priest; he only comes for important funerals

2:25 am

Thanks much, Rose.

*positively

2:26 am

night, une. sweet dreams, hun

2:27 am

bonne nuit, une

2:27 am

I have never heard of any churches doing that here--I wish they would thou

2:27 am

i have to admit to a giggle when our vicar announced the blessing of the animals, as i am a vicar of dibley fan.

2:28 am

I thought it was just a rural Catholic thing, but I'm glad your CofE does it Rosie

2:28 am

I know there is a placein the Bible that tells of animals going to heaven but Iam not sure where it is,but I have read it

2:28 am

Ask them, puglet. I bet someone would have it done.

2:30 am

I will look into it Peach

2:31 am

has anybody seen the movie Chocolat where there is a discussion with the Young priest about whether r not dogs have souls (I think they do!) and therefore, if they have to observe Lent

2:31 am

(I think they don't)

2:32 am

I'm surprised pug, my ex quit the church when the priest told her animals did not go to heaven. if her pets coulden't come she had no interest.

Hey Rose, are you still here?

2:34 am

It is in there Joso-----I have seen and read where people have had near death exp. and they see their pets waiting for them . So Ruby I would say they have souls

2:35 am

i saw Chocolat ruby, but can't recall the conversation

2:36 am

It was when the older man gave chocolats to his dog,Charlie

2:36 am

I've seen that movie, one of my favorites, about 10 times, so know most of the dialogue by heart lol

2:38 am

ah, i enjoyed it, but not to that degree. Isn't chocolate poison to dogs?

2:38 am

greetings all!

2:40 am

Neil, GT?

2:40 am

4:05 am

I dont know what happen to Rose--she just vanished and poor neil has been looking for her for sometime now

4:05 am

thats so great!

4:06 am

rose may have been called to dinner or her love may have run half nekkid through the room... priorities :)

4:07 am

thats a real posibility! :)

Not looking for her, puglet... chatting with her. For a while now. Sorry! Haha.

4:07 am

kind of surprised to see neil is still around... he was part of the whole JC/Nancyboy hoax.

4:07 am

good Neil, was feeling like I lied to you--lol

4:08 am

I dont know about that

4:08 am

you didn't miss much, don't worry

4:09 am

I will take your word on that!

4:10 am

4:12 am

Sprite, have you read the other series that Kenyon wrote? I kind was looking at some of her other works and I dont know if it could be as good as the hunter series

4:12 am

everyone gone or still in bed?

4:14 am

I started the... let me think... Sword of Darkness, I think. Kinley McGregor is the name she is writing under, I believe. Rather good but less fun.

4:15 am

I wanna come, ruby! Take me with you in your purse, grin.

4:16 am

Rufie has another huge "hot spot" and I am trying to treat it without the vet. He is so afraid of her because she shaves him and medicates him. Last night, besides giving him mdedrol and applying some cortisone lotion, I finally gave him a doggie sedative because he was rather frantic

4:17 am

He is usually so calm and he kept looking in my eyes as if to say "Help me, Mom"

4:17 am

poor rufie.

4:18 am

We don't knoq why he gets them. When I put him on an austere diet, he got one anyway, so I don't think it's food.

4:19 am

does he dig at them

4:20 am

yes, it depends where it is. Usually, they're on his haunches, so he bites them. This time, it's on his shoulder, so he scratches it with his hind foot which has very sharp claws

4:20 am

last night, it was all bloody and Raffie kept trying to lick it

4:20 am

could nerves or stress bring them on

4:20 am

ruby, check out this link: http://tinyurl.com/kvb8ddo At the bottom of the page is an interesting part about hot spots.

4:21 am

he's a very calm dog so I don't think so. The breeder I know says that her chows get them, too, so I guess it's just a weakned of some sort

4:21 am

it may be caused by an insect bite or a flea bite.

4:21 am

Ruby, could whatever is biting you be biting him too

4:22 am

I don't think so. I use that flea and tick medicatin on him and have never seen a flea.

4:23 am

I feel so sorry for him because hes such a sweet and handsome boy

4:23 am

ruby, check out that link I just gave. It says even one tiny insect bite might bring it on.

4:23 am

but you havent seen what has been biting you either

4:23 am

there's not much I can do if that's what it is, I can't keep him out of the garden.

4:24 am

That's true, pugs, but the bites have stopped since it's cooled down. I'll check sprite's link after lunch.

4:24 am

and with the heavy coats they have, it is impossible to see a single flea. Which is all he might have, because it takes only one bite... and that one bite kills the flea.

4:24 am

no you cant but to treat it the best you can

4:24 am

My friends here all said that this would be a bad year for ticks, but I haven't found one on either dog (that's the first time)

4:25 am

finding out what triggers it with him is a good start to treating it best as can be.

4:25 am

the vet suggested sending him to a special clinic that finds dog allergies, but it's far aay

4:25 am

and VERY expensive

4:26 am

my Else gets rashes on her tummy from certain weeds, probally Beulah does too but Else has a white tummy so it show better on her

4:27 am

what does the rash look like?

4:27 am

why cant your vet do a scraping and send it off or a blood sample

4:27 am

red spots

4:27 am

lol... and gone is the peace. Baby neighbour kid crying... poor little thing.

4:28 am

it must be very loud

4:28 am

red spots would have to have legs to be visible on these long-haired pups! lol

4:28 am

it is. Good lungs on that one.

4:29 am

why do they let him cry?

4:29 am

I bet! Beulah is black but slicked hair and I cant see them on her

4:29 am

they don't. He just goes on while they are trying to calm him, lol.

4:30 am

he needs a Mama Cass hug!

4:30 am

do you live in a apartment Sprite

4:31 am

*giggle* My daughter was babysitting with them and she called me... said he wouldn't quit crying and had puked all over the place, and her. So I went there and calmed the baby while she cleaned up. The second I left the room, he started all over.

4:31 am

no, we are living in a house, but it is not freestanding. It is one of a row of houses.

4:32 am

we're in a house with a big hedge all around and I can still hear the neighbors if their grandchildren are at their pool!

4:32 am

He probally feels her uncertainly on handling him--lol

4:32 am

oh yeah. Children's voices carry.

4:32 am

And before them, the old neighbors had 3 very noisy small children, and it was terrible all summer

4:33 am

When Sprite hugs me, I stop crying! lol

4:33 am

no, she is very good with children. It is just that a mamma has more experience. I am not afraid to hold him tight and restrict his movements, so he can calm down.

4:33 am

bye for now, my friends

4:33 am

*hugs ruby* Whenever you need a hug, hun.

4:33 am

I used to swaddle my son and he never cried

4:34 am

bye Ruby-enjoy your outing--hugs again

4:34 am

enjoy lunch!

4:38 am

sometimes children wind up themselves again and again by moving wildly. If it is from anger, it is ok to restrict their movements a bit, so they can calm down. It was so sweet, after the first few seconds he grabbed my neck with his arm and held close, burying his face in my neck.

4:39 am

is he their only child

4:40 am

no, he is their third. They are doing everything right. But as every mother knows, some days are just like that... they cry.

4:41 am

some crying is good for them but not so easy on us-lol

4:41 am

hehehe true. We are hormonally programmed to feel panic when they cry.

4:45 am

how is your sister doing, pug?

4:46 am

I think there is some improvement since she started the new meds for her tyroid

4:46 am

was wondering about that. How nice! She sure could use a little improvement.

4:48 am

yesterday I took her and another sister to town and we happen to find there was a little fall fair going on so we parked and walked about looking at the crafts in the booths along the streets

4:49 am

oh great! Best of all, those unplanned treats. Did you see anything good?

4:52 am

You bet, but I didnt buy anything--but got some great ideals. I had my little Annapooh with me too, her first outing in a crowd like that and she was a bit scared. But they had alot of fall decorating ideals with pumpkins

4:54 am

oh that is cool :) I like all those carved out pumpkins. Some people are total artists with them. Great going on Annapooh. The sooner they get used to crowds, the better. We took terra everywhere when he was a pup and now he is not afraid of anything at all.

4:54 am

its getting close to babble's 6 o-clock thing

4:56 am

yes, a few more minutes indeed.

4:56 am

Ive took her to alot of places and to a store that lets pets shop with you and she does great.But this was lots of people close together,something she has not experence before==lol

4:57 am

while we were socialising terra, we took him to the playground of the school, when we took the children to and from school. Worked like a charm. And market day in the city. He loves it.

5:00 am

I would love taking Else but Iam leary about her.She is not too friendly towards strangers and I would feel bad if she bit someone.She was 7mo old when I got her from the pound. She likes riding as they all do.

5:03 am

you can build up the exposure with her, if you want. Take her to increasingly crowded areas. Don't pick her up and don't acknowledge her when she acts scared, but talk to her and pet her when she is calm. She can still learn.

5:04 am

sprite, why does babble do this? Is there a reason?

5:08 am

well tomorrow starts your new chapter in your life

5:08 am

will you be able to be on here in the morning

5:11 am

pug, yes there is a reason

5:11 am

at 5 am grid time, the game is reset on the server. The rankings are rewritten at that time.

5:12 am

pug, the new therapy group starts on Monday Sep 30th, not tomorrow. I will be on tomorrow morning for sure.

5:12 am

thank you for the imfo

5:12 am

after that, one more time on Friday, and then I will be on on Friday mornings and not anymore on Monday mornings.

5:12 am

oh--I was thinking it started monday

5:13 am

rose is returning to work tomorrow

5:13 am

yes, but next week. It is amazing how well it all fits... last day on the farm on Friday 27, then first day in the clinic on Monday 30.

5:14 am

omg... already. That is way too soon, if you ask me. But nobody ever asks me, lol.

5:14 am

well thats good you go right into the new

5:15 am

yeah I dont get it--one says work and one says rest

5:16 am

am pretty sure I am being guided to the clinic. It all fits so beautifully.

5:16 am

I hope she will be able to sit and not hurt her leg anymore than it already is.

5:17 am

she said chair duty and for 5 hours

5:18 am

ok, that is at least one good thing. Might be nice to be at work for a bit. Other people, other place to be.

5:18 am

Yeah and Iam sure she need the income too

5:19 am

yes... but I thought she was on work cover.

5:22 am

not sure who recently told me that the grids don't change randomly but with certain patterns. But I think she is right. Again several repeat words from yesterday. Like the AL girl's names.

5:23 am

I did too Sprite and she still needs surgery yet but waiting on the insurance co

5:24 am

I so wish things were better organised there. Here, this wouldn't have been happening like this. She would have been able to stay at home while waiting for the op, and the insurance would pay for the op without question.

5:27 am

you would think that the workforce would treat their long time workers better. But it would be about the same here I hate to say

5:28 am

money is more important then life in most of these cases

5:28 am

did you get to read those short stories on DH

So what did you mean by the comment you made at 4:07 am spite? How was I "part of" that? Nope. I just missed all of that... except for someone who came later going by the name "Angel" and we think is also "Andrew in Drag".

5:29 am

very true, pug, and makes me worry for our rose

5:30 am

and yes, I read the stories you said... so beautiful

5:31 am

hello neil, rewriting history? You were like peas in a pod with the JC and Nancyboy chars. And your email convo with me was about the same as the one between the JC and me. I reserve my judgment.

How so? I didn't know "Nancyboy". And I don't know Julian that well either. So nope... not so at all.

Huh? Whatever.

5:32 am

now ladies, if i may wade in here...

5:32 am

as I said, rewriting history. Doesn't matter to me, I will keep my distance, as I did before. Not trusting you.

5:32 am

by all means Rose

5:33 am

hiya rose! Lovely to see you, grin. We were worried about you, I heard you are going back to work tomorrow?

Glad that you do. Don't need to know nasty people.

5:33 am

and off he is with calling names. Bye neil, as I said, I will keep my distance.

5:34 am

there have been some very shady characters in this chog. please believe me, Neil is NOT one of them. i very rarely am so assertive. but i must emphasise that Neil is a real person.

Names? Haven't called anyone a "name".

But you act nasty, must be nasty.

5:35 am

I was already keeping my distance from him before the whole charade, rose... as a result of not so pleasant emails. I will stay away from the drama with neil.

Please do that. No amount of distance could be enough.

That's why you're creating it by making nasty comments about me in here, when I was doing nothing to you? Yeah... oook!

5:36 am

btw rose, did you meet him in person?

5:36 am

okay, we are agreed. Neil and sprite are oil and water.

Has everyone met you in person?

5:37 am

yep. Several babblers.

That isn't all of them I'm sure. Many people I know online have met me too... just not Babblers so far.

5:39 am

well, as I said, not wanting to be part of the everlasting neil drama. Am stopping this useless conversation, neil.

5:39 am

rose, pug said you were going back to work tomorrow. Do you feel ready?

5:41 am

sprite, not really, but i have a mortgage to pay...what else can i do?

5:41 am

darn it, hun. I SO wish you would have the social security we have here. Will send stabilizing and healing vibes to your leg... you will stay put, won't you?

5:42 am

sprite, we are talking about Rose

5:44 am

lololllll true. Yeah, she is a firecracker, I know. But she is also a wise lady.

5:44 am

* giggle * my dear ol' dad brought me up to keep on battling on.

5:45 am

I bought a bottle of nailpolish (something I dont wear often) and I just love the color. Its a orangey-red. A perfect fallish color

5:46 am

oh wow, pug! That brightens up the whole day, doesn't it, every time you look at it!

5:47 am

yeah it does--lol

5:47 am

wtg on your dad, rose. It ain't over till the fat lady sings... and I am not singing yet!

5:47 am

I know. I don't do it often either, but when I do, I can't stop looking at my nails, lol. Very silly but also very much fun.

5:47 am

See Sprite,, shes going to be too active on that leg and ignore the pain

5:48 am

she may not, pug. She will remember. I have faith in rose.

5:49 am

one year I painted my toenails orange and yellow and the chicks kept pecking at them thinking them corn, I guess-lol

5:49 am

morning all

5:49 am

morning Anita

5:50 am

hiya Anita :)

5:50 am

lol pug! Oh, such a funny image that is!

5:54 am

on the farm, we feed the chickens. I always enjoy that. They are so greedy and all over you. And then when I say: good morning ladies, move over... they almost sit on my hands, lol.

5:55 am

lol--sorry had to take annapooh out to potty--shes afraid of the dark

5:55 am

lol

5:58 am

getting back to the book thing(I didnt answer back due to letting you and Ruby talk) I dont think her other series interest me. It seemed dull compared to the hunters

5:59 am

But I got several more to buy and read to get through them all; I want to get the first one fanasty lover because I think it is about Grace and Julian

5:59 am

she is a very good writer and I think the other series are good too. But maybe not as much fun. For now, you have a whole lot of books still to go in the DH series :)

6:01 am

oh and btw, feel free to post whenever, in the middle of whatever conversation... I can do several at once, grin.

6:01 am

but its polite to let someone else enjoy you too-lol

6:02 am

lolollll pug, you are such a dearheart. Seriously. Such a loving person you are.

6:04 am

we are just going into the start of our fall weather and its pretty watching the trees to start changing colors

6:04 am

do you have four seasons there

6:04 am

my favorite time of the year. The colours and the smells, and even the weather.

6:05 am

yes, we have 4 seasons.

6:05 am

do you have alot of snow during the winter

6:06 am

some winters. They can be rainy or snowy or with lots of ice. Very unpredictable, the weather in the netherlands.

6:07 am

I love fall and spring the best--summer until it gets past 85 and winter until ice and below temps arrives

6:07 am

that sounds about like our winter too

6:07 am

does Rose get snow?

6:08 am

and Ruby?

6:08 am

I love fall best. Storms, beautiful colours and such lovely smells, toadstools. I like spring for the bursting out life from everything. Summer unless it is too hot and humid. And winter would be grand if it wouldn't be so dark.

6:09 am

don't know about rose, but ruby, yes. She can get snow, and ice.

6:09 am

oh, I have a waking light now, for light treatment during the winter! First winter I can use it. Will be very interesting to see if it works against depression.

6:10 am

do you have dark days like alaska?

6:11 am

Ive read that sunlight does help depressions

6:12 am

lol no, there is always day and night here. But the days are short in winter. Sun up late in the morning and down in the afternoon.

6:13 am

yes, they say that when you get too little daylight, depressions can be caused or made worse. I have this light that will start shining very softly an hour before I get up, then grow stronger until the alarm. It should imitate waking up from the summer sun.

6:13 am

I think it would be very hard to have weeks of total darkness

6:13 am

would be impossible to manage for me, pug. And for many people, I think. So many depressed people in the scandinavian countries.

6:14 am

oh wow, let me know how that works for you

6:14 am

why is that sprite

6:14 am

will do! I have faith that it will help. It has been tested extensively.

6:14 am

I think because of the long dark winters, pug.

6:15 am

did you get this through the clinic

6:15 am

no, I got it from my medical insurance.

6:15 am

I have never heard of such a light

6:16 am

Hello again, ladies, back from Sprite's resto! It's a beautiful day but a little bit chilly.

6:17 am

pug, for instance this one: http://tinyurl.com/o4q3ee3

6:17 am

wb ruby!

6:17 am

welcome back Ruby--what kind of goodies did you have

6:17 am

In December, here, it's dark by 5PM and doesn't get light until 8. We make up for it in June when it's ight until 11

6:18 am

for ruby and me it is about the same. She is a little bit more south, but not much.

6:18 am

If I lie down and try to nap in the afternoon, I put a lamp on so that it shines in my face; it makes me wake up happier

6:18 am

very smart, ruby.

6:18 am

yes that is

6:18 am

I wasn't really hungry as we eat VERY big breakfasts on Sunday. We bring home most of the meaty for the dogs' dinner

6:18 am

does it tan you too--lol

6:19 am

lol no.

6:19 am

I am so pale, even after this (short) summer, that I look like I'm dead, just don't know it.

6:20 am

6:20 am

orry, arm slipped

6:20 am

too stubborn to lie down and play dead, lol. Good for you. Don't fall asleep on the keyboard, hun ;)

6:20 am

Madame Redhead!

6:20 am

same for me, pug! Burn, peel, burn, peel, thank god summer is over.

6:21 am

When I lived in Miami, I used to be nut-brown, probably why I'm so wrinkled now.

6:21 am

yep, redhead and white--except for freckles

6:21 am

well there is that... I may never be beautifully tanned, but at least my skin is pretty good.

6:21 am

Oooooh, cute!

6:22 am

Please e-mail me a photo, pugs

6:22 am

me too me too! Photo, I mean. Please :)

6:22 am

when I can I will

6:22 am

I used to love the beach and fishing and sailing. I really miss the ocean

6:23 am

I like the water too and while in Florida and in Texas, I greatly enjoyed the ocean

6:24 am

I think I liked Texas better though

6:24 am

I am a forest person. Amidst the trees I am happiest. In any season.

6:24 am

but of course I was born under the fish sign

6:25 am

ah, I am a Cancer :) We water signs often click, don't we :)

6:26 am

yes we do--feb. the 27th for me

6:26 am

6:30 am

6:30 am

7:11 am

pekoe?

7:11 am

and toasted english muffins with creamery butter and fresh preserves

7:12 am

black tea

7:12 am

just a nice strong variety that i like.i find teas like green teas and english breakfast and earl grey too weak

7:13 am

oh..cross have you ever had black tea just by itself? I have heard its not bad. But read somewhere white tea is the best health wise

7:13 am

i know the green and white teas are much better for you but they are not to my taste

7:14 am

i find green tea(plain) too sour

7:14 am

they have more flaveniods or some such thing.same as whats in high 70% or more pure chiocolate

7:15 am

is that good or bad?

7:15 am

it is very good for you

7:15 am

cool

7:16 am

so do not be shy about eating those 70,80 or 90% pure chocolate bars you see at the grocer

7:16 am

i have thought about trying black or white tea but if i dont like it no one else will drink it just two of us

7:17 am

you can have some with your green tea:))

7:17 am

white tea is nice when you are doing a batch of iced tea however

7:18 am

i saw in the snapple teas that htey have one that is black and white tea together

7:18 am

i have never had anything from snapple

7:19 am

i have

7:19 am

really good teas but i think the sugar content might be high in them

7:20 am

if i do what a pre-made iced tea i get those ones in the large green cans at the grocers,the kind with ginsing in it

7:20 am

want

7:20 am

and yes,i am sure the sugar content is high

7:21 am

have yet ot have anythign with ginsing init or just by itself .. i am chicken lol

7:21 am

you are dangerous enough to males naturally eh? :))

7:22 am

even though its not tea i tried real ginger ale once.. YUCK

7:23 am

now,if you can find it a quality ginger beer is amazing

7:23 am

how sour is it?

7:23 am

just a tiny bit of tart around the edges but a real taste experience

7:24 am

i am not much of a beer or ale drinker

7:24 am

phantoms "sedate,sedates,sedated"

7:37 am

((crossy)) Love the new icon.

7:37 am

we are so fortunate here.our shelter is no kill and we have foster families in place for those months when occupancy is high.the new provincial rules and regs for buying a cat or dog are also making a huge difference

7:37 am

ty, ((mimi))

7:38 am

Up early to try and get my work done and still have time in the day for chores.

7:42 am

How are you liking school, crossy?

7:43 am

it is going very well,mimi though after a gap of 33 years,i have had to retrain my mind a bit

7:45 am

I know what you're saying. When I went back after just as long I had to write a 2500 word original research paper complete with references, bibliography, etc. I was so proud to get 100% on it. I hadn't done that kind of paper since I was in my mid-20s. Felt really good to know I could still do a good job.

7:45 am

atm i am learning the intricacies of excel spreadsheets and the math formulaes for the cells

7:46 am

oh! it is now time for something new!! it is time fro crossy's groaner of the day!! it is a tad long but bear with me...

7:46 am

All math ever did for me was lower my grade point average!

7:48 am

A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that her name is Patricia Whack. "Miss Whack, I'd like to get a $30,000 loan to take a holiday." Patty looks at the frog in disbelief and asks his name. The frog says his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it's okay, he knows the bank manager. Patty explains that he will need to secure the loan with some collateral. The frog says, "Sure. I have this," and produces a tiny porcelain elephant, about an inch tall, bright pink and perfectly formed. Very confused, Patty explains that she'll have to consult with the bank manager and disappears into a back office. She finds the manager and says, "There's a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000, and he wants to use this as collateral." She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what in the world is this?" The bank manager looks back at her and says..."It's a knickknack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone."

7:49 am

Oh, yeah...a groaner all right..but a fun one.

7:55 am

cute crossy

7:56 am

cold here this am...44 F

I'm stealing that.

7:56 am

bout same here- 9c

7:56 am

can I have any stats for either lower A please?

7:57 am

steal away, kaplan.there are only seven original ideas anyways.the rest is just plagerism

7:57 am

you are in the same area as I am crossy...just further east I think.

7:57 am

like the man said"one book is plagerism,1000 books is research"

7:58 am

and i think he stole that lol

7:59 am

some one wants to be fed...bbiab

7:59 am

So does anyone even want to hear that it's already 84 degrees here at 6 am? We're still getting up into the high 90s every day. They posted the other day that this was the hottest summer on record...yeah, tell me about it.

7:59 am

poor mimi:((

8:00 am

our apple harvests are under way,everyone is home canning like crazy and the sugar maple trees on the mountain are a blaze of oranges,reds,and yellows

8:00 am

I just keep daydreaming about the cabin in the woods, crossy.

8:00 am

it is still there waiting for you,mimi:)

8:01 am

I LOVE autumn and the change of colors in the trees...however, it's a distant memory for me. The only color change here is from dark brown to light brown.

8:04 am

that is not good:(( i can take you on back road and paths through the forest where it is such a dense area, you can actually smell the fgreen and the growing and the moss, and the soft secret deer lays of clover where they let their young sleep. you can smell the water of the streams and brooks as they babble and chuckle over the rocks down to the shores of georgian bay..my god! i am a walt whitman poem! lol

8:05 am

time for meds and another tea i think

8:05 am

Great description, Crossy. I will be hiking later and your words will come back to me.

8:05 am

scrabby!! my friend in nature!

8:06 am

Yes, your fellow tree lover. I found a butternut tree last weekend when hiking and collected nuts.

8:06 am

we are actually doing a 5k route on the bruce trail i have planned for today

8:06 am

ae 5/12

8:07 am

ty for that one,magzel

8:07 am

Today we will hike and collect acorns for craft projrects.

8:07 am

yw don't have the other

8:07 am

last time we were on a spur of the trail, we found a whole bunch of those giant puff ball mushrooms

8:08 am

Lots of mushrooms, from wee to huge.

8:08 am

things were like soccer balls

8:08 am

Wow.

8:09 am

i am told they are a delicacy,but the rule of thumb with the bruce trail is to leave it as you found it

8:09 am

before those giant puff ball mushrooms dry out they are delicious sautéed in butter. grow at the base of oak trees

8:10 am

I would never pick and cook wild mushrooms.

8:10 am

Someone has to be a mushroom expert to do that lest they end up dead or needing a liver transplant.

8:10 am

i know from survival training years ago that our puffballs are quite safe

8:10 am

morning all!

8:10 am

suze!!!

8:11 am

my uncle showed me and I saw him eat one so I felt safe but in general I agree with you

8:11 am

8:15 am

((((mimi))))

8:15 am

Bye Mimi

8:15 am

I just noticed the superlative ending. Now I have to go back over my list.

8:16 am

Crossy, will keep your imagery in my mind.

8:22 am

:) the minds eye is a wonderous thing sometimes.:)

8:22 am

Sure is.

8:24 am

there is a live theatre group from the 80,s that used to work together to do audio books on cassette tapes called the minds eye. they are well worth looking up if you enjoy audio books

8:25 am

each character has its own distinct personality,not just one person droning their way through a book

8:25 am

My brain does not do audio books very well. I am visual so when listening my mind wanders off.

8:26 am

i am mostly that way myself,but i have a 12 cassette boxed set from them as they do the lord of the rings that i treasure.was a gift from my brother in 1988

8:26 am

i should really get it put on disc

8:27 am

I was given 3 boxes of audiobooks and listened to "The Thirteenth Tale." One of my favorite books ever. Historical fiction--my favorite.

8:28 am

there are places that will put your faves on dvd for you, scrabby then you can make copies and pop them on your tablet etc

8:28 am

And at 122/100 I need a break.

8:28 am

well they would most likely turn them into a mp3 or mp4

8:28 am

They will scan the book?

8:29 am

they will take the audio book from cassette and reformat it,but yes i even have an app on my phone that will scan real books as well if needed

8:30 am

they will also do the same with any old 8mm film

8:30 am

or old 16 mm audio tape

8:31 am

Nice. Well, I am going to read the newspaper now, then my hiking buddy will arrive in 90 minutes.

8:31 am

see you later, scrabs!

8:31 am

<---Trying not to break things while she watches the Redskins game

2:18 pm

heh heh...

2:20 pm

Molly, at least they are more in this game than the last 2!

2:20 pm

Meanwhile, Dallas is winning, the Giants are losing and Philadelphia lost and the division goes straight to hell.

2:21 pm

ah...bummer...

2:21 pm

There is still hope that Dallas will lose!

2:22 pm

Carolina and NY here.

2:22 pm

Go Panthers!

2:23 pm

(you were referring to NY giants, right?)

2:23 pm

Yes.

2:24 pm

go panthers!

2:24 pm

They are up by 31 but they usually fall apart in the 4th.

2:26 pm

That would be a big fall apart when they are up by 31 points.

2:26 pm

Yes, but it has been nown to happen.

2:26 pm

nown

2:26 pm

kkkknown

2:27 pm

And Baltimore is winning so basically my whole football day is shot to hell.

2:30 pm

I need to go check for pinholes in my eyelids...

2:32 pm

I don't mind B'more winning. Different division. I would love to see a beltway Super Bowl.

2:34 pm

Oh jeeze, a Beltway Superbowl could result in riots you know.

2:36 pm

I guess so.

2:38 pm

Why not a Beltway World Series?

2:38 pm

I want detest so bad!

2:39 pm

I can't root for The Ravens. I still hold a grudge about what happened with The Colts.

2:40 pm

Same problem with a Beltway World Series. Too many fans on opposite sides in too close proximity.

2:40 pm

but the Ravens had nothing to do with what happened with the colts... The owner of the Colts was an idiot!

2:41 pm

Yes Phan, my rational side knows that. My irrational side does not. : )

2:42 pm

I hear you. It actually took me until "The Blind Side" to even show a modicum of interest in the Ravens. But I am first a Skins fan and always a Skins fan!

2:43 pm

TOUCHDOWN !!!!!!!

2:44 pm

I love caught passes ♥

2:47 pm

Oh #*&%**@

2:47 pm

It starts to get dark here about 7:30pm at the moment, Joso..for when you next plan to see them on webcam.

4:07 pm

Thank you for asking how i am though, Molly, Appreciated.

4:08 pm

If I had known it was going to be 1.5 hours of updates and installs i wouldn't have bothered, just one of those things that step by step extends. just thought it would be cool for 5 or 10 minutes

4:08 pm

That does seem to be a lot of updates and installs just to watch an outside webcam.

4:09 pm

The frog loan joke has been around for years.

4:12 pm

I have not hear the frog loan joke

4:12 pm

The abbreviations are getting smaller..lol

4:13 pm

I am so tired today..my eyes are starting to close..not sure if i will finish this one.

4:14 pm

Just like the Rudolph The Red knows rain, dear joke.

4:15 pm

Not heard the frog loan joke ..doubt i know the reindeer one either.

4:15 pm

A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her name plate that the teller's name is Patricia Whack. So, he says, "Mrs. Whack, I'd like to get a loan to buy a boat and go on a long vacation." Patti looks at the frog in disbelief and asks how much he wants to borrow. The frog says "$30,000." The teller asks his name and the frog says that his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it is OK, he knows the bank manager. Patti explains that $30,000 is a substantial amount of money and that he will need to secure some collateral against the loan. She asks if he has anything he can use as collateral. The frog says, "Sure. I have this," and produces a tiny pink porcelain pig, about half an inch tall. Bright pink and perfectly formed. Very confused, Patti explains that she'll have to consult with the manager and disappears into a back office. She finds the manager and says: "There is a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000. And he wants to use this as collateral." She holds up the tiny pink pig. "I mean, what the heck is this?" (are you ready?) (are you sure?) (here it comes!!!) Play Song The bank manager looks back at her and says, "It's a knick knack, Patti Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone."

4:16 pm

haha, I like that one

4:17 pm

I was going to post a link, so as not to burden the chat.

4:17 pm

ah well, bad joso, bad bad

4:17 pm

hahahaha yes that is a good one..not heard that one before.

4:18 pm

Crosshair and Joso know the same jokes. Cool.

4:18 pm

bbl

4:19 pm

must be the water in ontario

4:19 pm

Oh yes, surely that's it.

4:22 pm

You know i looked at your icon, Molly.Was wondering why the pumpkin had a mouth and the realised it was a glass of wine in front of it...lol..how daft am i..or is that just plain being tired..lol

4:23 pm

was thinking that was a very happy potato or pumpkin myself until I clicked her icon myself zooz

4:24 pm

Teehee not just me then:-)

4:25 pm

no, cute optical illusion

4:27 pm

also looks to me like it has legs and a pale cigar until you zoom in

4:28 pm

I was thinking i was going to see a california raisin thing instead of a nice harvest table, lol

4:28 pm

lol

4:30 pm

Found the ae5 on the right..but not finding the AD7..any clues please?

4:30 pm

ad + vowel + first two of not boy + Mr Gore

4:31 pm

Got it!..nice clue, Molly, Thank you.

4:32 pm

yep, molly's got it, cannot think of anything smoother than the piecemeal means

4:34 pm

Piecemeal means...another similarity...it's so amusing.

4:35 pm

the accidental humorist is prefered over the walking joke, lol

4:39 pm

of or relating to a saying of Solomon.

4:40 pm

you have to be wise a solomon to know that

4:40 pm

(ad7, i.e.)

4:41 pm

or, sic. of or relating to madison avenue businesses.

4:43 pm

Solomon's wisdom was attributed to his decision to split the baby presented to him as the child of two mothers.

4:49 pm

how do you split a baby?

4:49 pm

I'd take the non poopy half

4:49 pm

sword

4:51 pm

but a kinder method might have been to send the babe to a saws-in-half magician

4:52 pm

lol..what are you two like teehee.

4:52 pm

* picks up all the passed out grandmothers in the chat room*

4:52 pm

As luck would have it, Solomon did not have to split the baby. He realized that it was two trying to pass of a baby as one.

4:53 pm

*Pass off

4:54 pm

was solomon sleeping with several women?

500 wives.

4:55 pm

really? puts that guy Jeffers to shame

4:56 pm

I thought everyone knew this ruru, Solomon ordered a guardsman to cut the child in half, the guy raised a sword and one of the mothers said give the child to the other, solomon awarded custody to the mother willing to give up the child.

4:56 pm

more when you add in the concubines

4:57 pm

so much for custody issues in solomon's time :D

4:58 pm

maybe they should consider that with Jason Patrick's kid :D

4:59 pm

5:42 pm

hi all, back to find 42 words

5:45 pm

wb

5:47 pm

:)

5:47 pm

wb = Welcome Back

5:48 pm

rehi peri

5:56 pm

Hi E1

5:56 pm

hi pug

5:57 pm

hi ya Joso---great colts game

5:58 pm

if you say so, glad you enjoyed it

5:58 pm

hi all. anyone else but me get upset that mentally ill people who want to shoot and kill and use guns arent put away?????????? for good? used to be like that but now they roam free and then the nation is in shock and upset when the kill a bunch of innocent people. same with the shooter from newtown conn. and now the guy at the navy yard. anyone else feel we need to change these laws? and by the way, did you know if he does go to prison and gets put on meds, they let him out and no one, thats right, no one monitors that he is taking his meds!

5:58 pm

its not over just yet

6:00 pm

solomon had wives from all over the place. hard to imagine what good a wife was when you have 500. i mean if i were wife number 345 i would see hubby every 500 days at best to have a nice romantic night. how horrible.

6:00 pm

most seriously mentally ill people don't kill, aren't dangerous

6:01 pm

and most of the 'famous' killers aren't discovered to be mentally ill until after the fact

6:02 pm

like the newtown man

6:03 pm

the newtown man had previous gun incidents in his history

6:03 pm

it would be surpassing cruel to 'put away' severely ill people just because they are ill.

6:03 pm

known only to his mother

6:04 pm

and the va

6:04 pm

anyway, the point is that there is no way to predict who will kill.

6:05 pm

if he got the care entitled to him from the va the whole thing may have been avoided

6:06 pm

Mkg, I am disheartened by the Navy Yard shooting. Once again, lack of mental health causes tragedy and death.

6:06 pm

if someone has a history of violence and is known to be schizofrenic, then they are a potential harm to society. how are they different from someone caught selling drugs? both harm society. i say if someone is a potential harm to society he should have to be monitored to take his meds if he is free. period.

6:06 pm

that's the ft collins man. i don't think they knew he was sick. anyway, it's not the underlying point

6:07 pm

The Navy Yard shooter had a history of mental health problems.

6:07 pm

people don't choose to be schizophrenic

6:07 pm

lets get more mental health coverage at high rates (80%) and it will at least help. now it is 60% coverage for mental illness and 80% for other disease. when will we realize that mental illness is a threat to society sometimes?

6:08 pm

mab i know they dont choose it. but i have two cousins with the disease and both were verified not to be a threat or harm to society. this can be documented by psychiatrists and then they are free to do what they wish.

6:09 pm

that makes more sense, mkg, and would be the compassionate thing to do if managed properly.

6:09 pm

We have a nation of psychologists and psychiatrists closing their practices because insurance regulations will not let them treat people the way they should be treated.

6:09 pm

most states commit people known to be a danger to self or others

6:09 pm

you cant tell me that the navy shrinks didnt know of this mans issues with guns and violence. they just chose not to state unequivically that he was a potential threat to society. used to be that then they were held so they took meds and did better.

6:10 pm

I take care of my sister, she has schizophrenic and I have to monitor her daily on taking meds because they lose track of time

6:10 pm

45 states have laws that make outpatient med compliance mandatory

6:10 pm

the question is: is our society too free? is there such a thing as so much freedom that the society pays for this?

6:10 pm

mab there is no way this is really monitored.

6:10 pm

Oh no, most States don't. There is a huge population of homeless, mentally ill people because the States will not get into the mix.

6:11 pm

so why wasnt this man committed if the shrinks knew of his arrests etc?

6:11 pm

oh, yes there is. and bless you puglet.

6:11 pm

the navy shrinks never spoke to him, he had applied for care but it hadn't been processed yet, so i suppose me saying the va knew is false.

6:12 pm

our nation as a whole is so passive that the entire population is at risk! foster care isnt monitored. kids who are abused often are put back into their homes without proof that it wont happen again. the list goes on and on. it is a shame. a real shame.

6:12 pm

Laws in place vs. laws enforced are two totally different things. If this country had adequate mental health care and legislation, we would not be dealing with shooting after shooting.

6:12 pm

i think you need to check your facts. and i would have a hard time accepting a less free country in terms of who is in and who is out

6:12 pm

the beaurocracy is too complex so that many things fall through cracks. sad sad sad.

6:12 pm

gun laws, stand your ground laws?

6:13 pm

my swedish au pairs said no one is homeless in sweden. if they are mentally ill and cant take care of themselves they are put into homes which care for them. i dont know which way is right..............very difficult.

6:14 pm

even without guns a mentally ill person can murder with knives. not that i dont feel we must have tighter controls...

6:14 pm

Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone doing

6:14 pm

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

6:15 pm

hi min!

6:15 pm

What is the priority? Gun laws, stand your ground laws, or the mental health care of the people allowed to obtain the guns?

6:15 pm

enough

6:15 pm

hi min

6:16 pm

a mentally ill 16 year old murdered his neighbors with knives and was freed on bail 6 years later. with no one to monitor meds after 12 months of compliance. when his shrink in prison was asked if he would be capable of murder again if he went off meds the shrink said yes. it is sad. sad sad.

6:17 pm

i am all for freedom for every mentally ill person who is not a societal risk. but for those who are a danger i am for not giving them their freedom. thats all. in newtown i believe no one knew the kid was ill. that was a different story but this guy was known. that is what i find so sad. thats all. and maybe i am wrong that he was missed. maybe there was no way to see this coming.

6:17 pm

oh well. sorry to bother everyone.

6:19 pm

back to the grid.

6:19 pm

You didn't bother me, mkg. It's nice to be able to have an adult conversation here before someone shuts it down.

6:21 pm

unfortunately there is no way to 100% insure there arent injustices done no matter what. but we do need better mental health care. that is my opinion. world wide it would be great to have more shrinks.

6:21 pm

I just got to Babbleland and was not part of the convo. But from what I've read so far, I think I tend to agree with mkg

6:21 pm

i need clue for the word of the E bottom row 4th column please. one word only.

6:22 pm

Hi Min. A giant ice cream cone for all!

6:23 pm

On a lighter note, I have just posted a story of clues about the Emmy Awards in my profile if any babblers needs clues.

6:23 pm

ed4 mr bunkers wife, - it, then pluralised

6:23 pm

food will make things all better

6:23 pm

i have that one but not from the bottom row e. sorry.

6:24 pm

Good clue from earlier...ea4...a direction with a lisp.

6:25 pm

ty got it. super clue.

6:25 pm

taking a break now.

6:31 pm

As reported by Jonathan Metzl in The Lancet (“Why are the Mentally Ill Still Bearing Arms?”, Volume 377, Issue 9784, Pages 2172 - 2173, 25 June 2011), “According to Columbia University psychiatrist Paul Appelbaum, less than 3-5 percent of American crimes involve people with mental illness, and the percentages of these crimes that involve guns are actually lower than the national average — particularly when alcohol and drugs are taken out of the mix.” http://tinyurl.com/b6sx446 ht\ntp://tinyurl.com/mjs8av2

6:33 pm

MollyL,I posted that picture yesterday thinking it was Sept. 22nd, yesterday so I kept it for today. It sure is a BIG cone!

6:34 pm

Mental disorders are common in the United States and internationally. An estimated 26.2 percent of Americans ages 18 and older — about one in four adults — suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year.1 When applied to the 2004 U.S. Census residential population estimate for ages 18 and older, this figure translates to 57.7 million people.2 Even though mental disorders are widespread in the population, the main burden of illness is concentrated in a much smaller proportion — about 6 percent, or 1 in 17 — who suffer from a serious mental illness.1 In addition, mental disorders are the leading cause of disability in the U.S. and Canada.3 Many people suffer from more than one mental disorder at a given time. Nearly half (45 percent) of those with any mental disorder meet criteria for 2 or more disorders, with severity strongly related to comorbidity.1

6:39 pm

Whether it is 26.2 percent or a core 6 percent, those with mental disorders do not account for a higher percentage of violent acts ... what is being done about the other 95 percent? As I pointed out the other day, the US has five percent of the world's population and 25 percent of the incarcerated. Yet, the gun violence goes on and on.

What is and isn't considered a mental disorder is socially adjustable and also defined by the medical establishment and the insurance companies. There are spectrum disorders, and the lines drawn to qualify as a disorder are subject to change. They are not fixed, and there is also cultural determinism.

But I bare my arms all the time.

and I really liked the Kermit Jagger bit this morning.

6:41 pm

Big Pharma is a major player.

nuff said. I go back to my hole now.

DSM VI will have Babble disorder.

6:45 pm

babble disorder with psychotic features

6:45 pm

I agree with Molly about the need for more and better treatment. Yet, the mentally ill, traumatized veterans and other dysfunctionals are simply budget items.

Prevention is even batter. Like having social network and support and safety net- before the pathologies build.

6:47 pm

For sure. What is your state doing about prevention?

Massachusetts?

We have Romneycare.

what des the 9 start with?

6:49 pm

My state has general practitioners who do not want to deal with mental disorders and too many see no need to a referral for a mental health evaluation even if their patient divulges what might be considered a disorder.

6:50 pm

the 9 starts with h....

is it a plural of an 8>

6:52 pm

yes

6:53 pm

May I have a clue for sa6/21?

6:54 pm

ya gotta have sa6/21 (add a vowel)

6:54 pm

My congressional delegation says the solution is to keep guns out of the hands of the irresponsible, including those with mental disorders. Good idea. Then the delegation votes against any measure the deals with gun control. They prize guns because it means votes ... so guns are more important than lives.

6:54 pm

like belief in religion but starting with a different letter....and adding a vowel...

6:55 pm

whew. thanks ruru and pen. I'd been banging my head for a while for that.

6:55 pm

Walmart has a strong Lobby BR

6:55 pm

seems so obvious now. lol

6:55 pm

it's easier to buy guns than smokes

6:56 pm

and they're cheaper

6:56 pm

I am sure they do. But that is my point. Gun money means getting reelected.

6:56 pm

not really

6:56 pm

joke

6:56 pm

that was to mab

6:57 pm

I agree BR.. I'm not sure how many mass killings it will take to finally push some stronger laws through

6:57 pm

smokes are almost ten dollars here.

6:57 pm

they should be $50 :D

6:58 pm

they are a great target for more taxation

6:58 pm

yes they are

6:58 pm

The NRA is a very powerful organization.. to be sure

7:07 pm

*Waves to all those here, kind of here and not really here*

7:07 pm

7:09 pm

Dr. G should change the name of this game to "Lurk Babble"

7:09 pm

No kidding.

7:10 pm

or Lurkabble

7:10 pm

or Babblurk...

7:10 pm

It's hip to be a lurker.

7:13 pm

The Emmy Awards are on. No need to watch, it will be a Breaking Bad sweep.

7:16 pm

I wrote about the Emmy Awards in my story of clues today.

7:16 pm

does anyone care about the emmy's anyway?

7:18 pm

All the people who are rabid about Breaking Bad do.

7:19 pm

oh

7:19 pm

well the other shows shouldn't meth around with Breaking Bad

7:19 pm

Hello Babblers and Babblurkers

7:19 pm

I watch it, I'm intrigued to see how it ends, but I think it is totally over rated.

7:20 pm

they are Blurkers wht :D

7:20 pm

Flurking Blurkers.

7:20 pm

hi wht

7:21 pm

maybe Balurkers?

7:21 pm

I don't.I liked the Emmy's when there was actually good TV shows to watch. I care more about the Oscar awards now.

7:22 pm

I like to watch the Oscars and see how S-faced Jack Nicholson is :D

7:22 pm

The problem with the Emmy Awards is that most of the nominated shows are on premium cable stations that many people don't get.

7:24 pm

bets on what Elton John will sing?

7:25 pm

*Hopes for anything but Candle In The Wind*

7:25 pm

good evening. I don't watch any of the award shows.

7:25 pm

Hello phandmd!How are you doing today? Welcome to grid

I am well.I gave up on grid this morning, so not too helpful

7:27 pm

*tosses 49er jersey on the fire*

7:28 pm

*Loves a Fall bonfire*

7:28 pm

My good friend Matt & his wife had their first daughter in June - his line was "the Skins have not won a game in my daughter's lifetime"

7:28 pm

LOL

7:29 pm

I suspect he's going to get a lot of mileage out of that line this season.

7:29 pm

might come up every sunday for a bit :D

7:30 pm

we also got a little punchy rooting for the new kicker Harry Potter and his fellow Robert Griffindors

7:31 pm

Robin Williams is doing a nice, and funny, tribute to Jonathan Winters.

7:31 pm

Does anyone have a clue for the ad7?

7:31 pm

bonfire etymology: 1550s, from Middle English banefire (late 15c.), originally a fire in which bones were burned.

7:31 pm

I do, WHT!

7:32 pm

Molly, which Jersey do you have? I have 81!

7:32 pm

Thank you phand. Would you mind sharing?

7:32 pm

Oh, I am so sorry. I thought you asked if anyone wanted a clue.

hi how's everyone

7:32 pm

Silly me!

eths

7:33 pm

ad + vowel + first two of not boy + Mr. Gore

oops!

7:33 pm

I sure wish I knew how to read!

7:33 pm

ok I need to stop trying salsa and ladle

7:33 pm

I thought we buried the bones around here :D

7:33 pm

Hi Gwen.

7:33 pm

*Ladles 2Bit some salsa*

7:34 pm

needs more habanero

7:34 pm

ty Molly

7:34 pm

My salsa usually does. : )

i'd settle for some plain white rice . . .

7:35 pm

Put the habenaro on Molly's redskins jersey. That should burn it.

7:35 pm

Word Origin C15: alteration (through influence of French bon good) of bone-fire; from the use of bones as fuel

7:35 pm

Gwen is such a gourmet.

7:36 pm

glad I scrolled back, I found your clue, Molly

Hello Book Doctor Gwen!How are you?Welcome to the grid

7:50 pm

Nice tribute to Jean Stapleton by Rob Reiner.

nbt, woot

7:53 pm

No, on the Emmy Awards.

7:54 pm

may I have a clue for the 8/9 I assume pair?

7:54 pm

he 8/60 word is he 4/6 word plus the ga 4/6 word & plural

7:54 pm

Opposite of what you do before a football game?

7:54 pm

I think it might include the he 4/6 but can't figure the rest if it does

7:55 pm

oh! got it!

7:55 pm

so proud of myself!

7:55 pm

I'm well Book Doctor Gwen.Got jury duty tomorrow though

7:56 pm

See, you didn't need a clue after all. Ask and ye shall receive is Biblical. Ask and ye shall find it before someone can clue it is Babblical.

7:56 pm

so true, Molly!

7:56 pm

Can someone clue the o in the bottom of the first column, please?

ty, new word on me

7:57 pm

New song by Elton John, Ru. A tribute to Liberace, "Home Again".

i had jury duty about a year ago. got as far as elimination round 1, when i got eliminated LOL

7:58 pm

Don't know,maybe circuit. It is a small case. Won't la4 long

7:58 pm

I sat on a personal injury appeal case.

7:58 pm

Min, I have been called a number of times. One time I was selected for a civil trial. It was a fascinating experience.

7:58 pm

Duh...thanks

7:59 pm

It is the NY State Unified Court system whatever th4 means

7:59 pm

al 6?

7:59 pm

When I was called, it was a Friday in August. I figured there was no way a trial was going to be starting that day. Trial lasted two weeks.

8:00 pm

was it an interesting case at least?

8:00 pm

I would rather be at work than at jury duty. The only good thing about jury duty is th4 I don't have to do the commute

8:01 pm

The la4 time I did jury it was an age discrimination case. It eventually got thrown out court and didn't la 4/4 too long.

hunting for al 6, nothing so far

8:02 pm

It was very interesting. Basically the president of one company left to start his own company and the owner sued over a number of bogus reasons, we presumed to punish him for his disloyalty.

8:03 pm

But the lawyers on both sides were top-notch.

found the al 6 : al + definite article + vowel (the whole is a girls' name, not common thought)

and plural that

8:04 pm

And you could tell that there was a lot of history, including a separate case in Federal court that turned out to be on copyright issues. But as members of the jury, we get a very circumscribed view of what is going on outside of the specific issues put before us.

8:05 pm

Ok,Babble jurors,should we sent wht over to th4/4 PB now

8:05 pm

*send

8:06 pm

hi, folks

8:06 pm

Ok,Babble jurors,should we sent wht over to th4/5 PB now

8:06 pm

Hello welki! How are you doing today? Welcome to the log

8:06 pm

But I was pleasantly surprised at how well the process works. It really is a good idea to present the evidence to 12 everyday people and let them hash it out.

8:07 pm

doing well, thanks. how are you doing, min? settled into the new school year?

8:07 pm

wht, maybe you should ha 4/6 out your word list in the PB.

8:07 pm

What goodies are in the PB today, Min. I might go voluntarily.

8:07 pm

nice to read that the system works the way it's supposed to, wht

8:08 pm

Just as I am getting settled I get interrupted with jury duty

8:08 pm

Who knows!There might be some ha4/6 if you are into th4 kind of stuff.

8:09 pm

inconvenient, i'm sure

8:09 pm

I'm going to take an Emmy Award break.I will see you later

8:09 pm

Ew Min, ha4/6 is not a goodie.

8:10 pm

Never touched it in my life!

unless ya smokes it

8:10 pm

corned beef ha4 - that's what she meant :)

8:10 pm

*Puts apple pie in the PB for Wht*

i believe you can smoke that, too lol

8:11 pm

Th 4/5's what I meant, corned beef & ha4/6! Thanks welki

8:12 pm

Thanks Molly. Way better than ha4

8:13 pm

neighbor made a pumpkin roll for dessert last night and made an extra for us - time for a real goodie :)

or you can marinade it in a white wine sauce and then fry it!

8:13 pm

*Turns on fan to blow Gwens ha4 smoke out of the chat log*

8:14 pm

That smoke from my fireworks.

8:14 pm

Wow, Breaking Bad loses the writing award to Homeland.

woo hoo wht !!!!!!!!

(i thought you had fireworks, no?)

8:20 pm

*so much for Breaking bad sweeps* :D

8:20 pm

I did. thanks.

i opened the list and now finding a lot of --ed words i missed

well, then, woo hoo again wht !!!!!!

8:25 pm

Well, Anna Gunn won for best supporting actress in a drama (Breaking Bad) so we will so how the rest goes. Now suffering through Neil Patrick Harris doing song and dance. *Gag*

8:25 pm

Gwen, thank you for the AL 6 clue awhile back. I got distracted and when I came back remembered I had asked and scrolled back, glad it was still on the screen!

grrrrrr

8:26 pm

** finito ** last word HE 4/6 - BNabble-blinbd to this word

wtg wv !!!!!!

8:26 pm

why do they do those dumb song and dance stuff with people who can't sing and can't dance

8:27 pm

WHT, that does sound like an interesting case.

no comment

8:29 pm

I don't know and this was the dumbest of the dumb song and dance bits.

8:30 pm

It was. I enjoyed it. Of course, once it was over, all the jurors started Googling the case to find out the back story.

8:30 pm

Name: This Is The Number In The Middle Of The Shoooowwww!!!!

8:31 pm

Not kidding

8:31 pm

The hardest part of being on the jury is that you cannot talk about the case, even with other jurors, before the deliberations begin.

8:31 pm

in hindsight, did you like your decision?

sounds like someone did not get the joke . . . 8-)

8:32 pm

Yes I did. Except that we would have awarded more damages if we knew more about the principals.

8:32 pm

well, that is satisfying then!

8:33 pm

"Not getting the joke" is a registration requirement here.

8:33 pm

Oh boy, we just started Breaking Bad. wonder what is instore for tonight.

8:33 pm

The one thing I was never able to find out was if he ever had to pay up. I figured that with the bad blood between the parties, the decision was likely to be appealed.

8:34 pm

no doubt

8:34 pm

there are libraries you can check to see if the decision was appealed, wht

8:34 pm

probably an online database

8:36 pm

But that would require me to remember the name of the case, and this was a number of years ago.

fireworks!!

8:37 pm

not really - if you remember the appellate court it would have been heard it, you can probably do a boolean search, if you remember partial names, dates, etc

8:39 pm

Perhaps, welki, but I am willing to live with some mystery in my life. :^)

8:39 pm

interesting, but not that interested *lol*

8:40 pm

that doesn't read the way i would have said it, wht - what i meant is that the case held your interest, but not enough to pursue it further

8:41 pm

I think you are right on both counts.

8:44 pm

Well good night all.

8:48 pm

*Snoozing through Carrie Underwood and her rendition of The Beatles "Yesterday" *

8:49 pm

Nite wht, Hi everyone

8:49 pm

Meanwhile, definitely no sweep for Breaking Bad. Best Actor: Jeff Daniels, Best Supporting Actor: Some guy from Boardwalk Empire.

8:50 pm

it's awful when a great song gets butchered

8:50 pm

Bobby Cannavale from Boardwalk Empire.

9:02 pm

al 5/12?

9:04 pm

al*** the dinner was good, dessert was excellent.

9:04 pm

Stupid spelling of al8 I would like to give you a clue, I think you can figure it out yourself.

9:05 pm

ha! I often use that spelling in my informal writing, Molly! I should be slapped to have not found it on my own.

9:06 pm

Bless you Phan. As a writer, informal writing gives me the eebie geebies.

9:07 pm

I bet!

9:13 pm

hi everyone!

9:19 pm

Good Evening Everyone. How are you all tonight?

9:19 pm

hi Nef!

9:21 pm

test, test, test

9:22 pm

9:22 pm

It looks like we're the only non-lurkers right now, Jen. How are you doing lately?

9:22 pm

(sorry I'm a bit slow tonight; long day.

9:22 pm

working on the farm in Farmville!

9:23 pm

oh-oh. I found that FB games are WAY too time consuming several years ago; so the only thing I play there is Words with Friends

9:24 pm

this game can be time consuming

9:24 pm

it must be because people are always doing it.

9:27 pm

de 5 /14?

9:29 pm

do you have de6/24?

9:29 pm

yes, I do.

9:29 pm

take the last letter off

9:30 pm

oh, I need the one after that. Sorry

9:30 pm

that's okay, it's the only one I have

9:31 pm

thanks anyway.

9:33 pm

Sorry, I don't have either of the de words since I've just started; and I'm doing poor in chat too since I'm buried in the grid

Ugh. Hitting a brick wall at 119

9:35 pm

just found a de 5/6 combo, means "after life" and pl

9:35 pm

after life, nef

9:35 pm

dang, you beat me to it

9:36 pm

hi all....de6/21 the opposite of pepper

9:36 pm

LOL, Jen; typical Babble timing, wasn't it?

9:37 pm

thanks, cgypsy!

9:37 pm

yw

9:38 pm

could either of you tell me HOW one de6s anything? I'm a bad cook and never found a way to do that

9:39 pm

Start over and don't make the mistake the second time?

9:40 pm

Great answer, T & T

9:40 pm

there you go....better yet!

9:40 pm

LOL! I like that one better! :-D

9:40 pm

:))

My usual fix is to tell hubby he can try. Lol. Funny thing in our household. We are both pretty good at following a recipe. But he does better cooking while I do better baking.

9:43 pm

About the only thing I ever bake is angel food cake (from a box mix) for a birthday. DH does all the baking and we both do the cooking

9:44 pm

de6/21 has to do with seawater

9:45 pm

I guess taking it out of seawater?

9:46 pm

de 6 goes with depepper

9:46 pm

now that would make sense, Jen. That's something I didn't think of (and didn't look up the definition either) <blush>

9:47 pm

hi ruru

9:47 pm

9:47 pm

I looked it up, hi Nef!

9:48 pm

personally I use de sa4 to put out little itty bitty kitchen fires...

9:49 pm

9:52 pm

I've never started a fire in the kitchen (yet!) but I once forgot some boiling eggs on the stove and melted the pan (and the egg remnants ended up on the ceiling).
