Flip! (I got 95 word in the last hour of yesterday's grid; not too bad! :-)
Well, I see st least three words not used in polite society.
un7
You have a wider vocabulary than I do then; I only see 2! ;-)
You're not counting them, I hope
Judith, only 1 of the 2 I know counts as a word in Babble
OMG. Thanks for that. BTW Christine is my big sister.
Seriously? I've tried to get my sisters to play, but I haven't had luck in getting them to play or join so far.
I got my sister started. She is marigold
At one stage several years ago, all three sisters played.
do you play together or separately?
Good for you, peri. IDK why my sisters won't play; they really enjoy WWF and other word games.
separately
Great periwinkle. Have to try to get our other sister involved again.
We play separately. We live on three different continents spread around the world.

one of my sisters got me onto babble, but I don't think she plays much.
Judith, that little blue icon (looks like a purse), beside your name,, indicates you are male --- something you're not telling me?
so far apart... it's nice internet brings people together like this!
hi all - just a quick peek before I hit the sack
it's grey not blue ;o)
Hi nan
agar
Well, Christine, I had planned to tell you the next time we met.
Clues are up
ty lickety
Hi all and thanks, Lickety
thanks, lickety!
dfmchfhf -- grey, neither pink nor blue, but undecided?
ummm
how is "wank" not in the dictionary?
name that proper noun! cruise line founded in 1838 and now owned by Carnival
probably, Christine, or hasn't filled in yet, or "other"?
Cunard
ding ding ding!!!
I've babbled since 2004, soon after it started. I came here through a blog I followed, Chocolate and Zucchini.
hmm had to google, but "wank" has been around a word longer than some babblets have... enable is a strange lexicon!
how do those foods go together? i mean i'm ok with zucchini, but chocolate is clearly in a different league
Enable is a strange lexicon indeed. I has a lot of odd whims....
Hurshy, perhaps they are her favourite foods ... or a way to attract attention? I know that's what originally drew me to her blog.
Chocalate and zucchini cake, bread, cookies all good. Sauerkraut and chocolate cake good. Mango and chocolate great. Chocolate is in a very versatile world.
nothing on earth can make sauerkraut good. not even chocolate is that powerful.
hello
hey ruby
l have terrblr hand<>/>foot syndromr fromchemo. Look it upon godle
my fndersarefillof panful fissres and feet are swollen
it hurts to type
it doesn't hurt me to type
but it does hurt me to live, a lot of the time
lt's worse han lasttime
i'm sorry, ruby. what's your chemo schedule look like?
agar
i'sbeen a pause Week. l se the oncologist tomorrow, thank God
alga
Sorry that your chemo is giving you such problems, Ruby. Hugs.
this is horrible
Does anyone have the first LA5 word? I don't see how there is anything viable before the second word?
Sorry. Not me.
It contain a double vowel and sounds like a male name
Just saw it!
BBL for my last 20 words.
Thank you, Lizlin ... it was driving me crazy. It's not on that list of 5letter words, on Lickety's page.
Back tomorrow. Goodnight, God bless.
It’s on my Lickety list.
Sleep well.
wank is absolutely a word. A rude word, but a word nevertheless (grrr)
Matty: l rhink it has to have er at the end
"wanker"
Nope. Wank is a perfectly good and often used term. The dictionary defines it as a "vulgar term" and it means to masturbate. Enable accepts plenty of other vulgar terms. The most hated one is in today's grid. And accepted.
No, you can have a wank as well ;) It's usually used, though, just for men.
Wanker is, however, an excellent word when one is really irked
l like to call men the C word.
They get really shocked, basically my intent
l have bandafges on five inf"rs
fingers*
asq "what's her name"said, l'm a mean and n&sty person
Aw, you're not mean and nasty. Just a feisty little woman who speaks her mind. : D
wh o cant type with all these bandages. 30mf of morphine helpq, too
I would ask what you did to your hands, but that would require you to type some more. I will just say I hope they heal up soon.
Molly, lr'"s & side dfd d rhye hymo

beginning of mad ir7 + an nasty name for a woman with a different ending consonant
sorry ladies that was the only clue i could think of
the school day started quite well, for those who are intereseted. It was a late start for students - 10 am. From 8-10 staff had an EXCELLENT presentation from the Mass DOE regarding how to support the needs of LBGTQ students and families
how wonderful that that is addressed inservice.
well that is good progress trif
we are lucky to live in massachusetts - the latest legislation contains excellent advancements in several areas, particularly the inclusion of an alternate gender marker on state forms, students forms, etc. Once a student is 14, they have legal access to their records, and can choose a non-binary marker.
yeah, older my very mildly regrets turning down the job offer from Boston Safe in 1994.
er, older me...
the speaker was SO funny. he said we should proceed with caution. "Report cards are NOT the place to come out to your parents."
LOLOL
its a complicated issue, as you could imagine, but I was really proud of our staff. Everyone is in such different places with these concepts. I was glad that those who had questions, especially about terms and nomenclature, asked them. Example: for many people, "queer" is a pejorative.
there is no reason someones sex is needed other than for dormitory placements. that is my opinion. i am tired of this whole idea. just put a persons name without any mister or miss or misses or anything. just a name. period. the idea of formality was always silly and in todays world isnt needed. my name is all you need. i get mail for mister and ms. my first name, Minka, is one that no one knows what it is.
and as to bathrooms, the idea of a large room with many toilets is also silly.
im glad we are talking about it. If we, as the adults, look all uncomfortable with such things, it communicates shame to certain kids. That is truly unfortunate
I've self-identified as queer since i was 20. Yay reclaiming pejoratives!
its about making space for everyone, mkg. every student should feel seen and valued. no one should ever be made to feel ashamed of who they are, especially when it's factors beyond their control. The data alone was VERY sobering. OMG the suicide, self-harm and physical injury rates of kids in the LGBTQ community are totally out of proportion
open up the bathrooms and put walls around each toilet and then they can be used by either men or women and you can stand at a sink no matter what sex you are. in some foreign countries this is how it is. tiny areas with walls and a door with only a toilet, and then a sink somewhere outside mounted on a wall. sinks now come in 9 inch depths. as to urinals, you can mark some door saying "urinal inside" and then people can choose to use that or go to a toilet.
good for you seain! I have to say, it can be overwhelming in the setting I am in. its hard enough to track the names and learning requirements of 140+ students, and now to add in remembering who wants what pronoun, and which name to use with them vs their parents....it's a lot, I have to say. But I am totally, utterly committed to making it happen. My classroom is a place in which EVERY student WILL feel safe and valued.
lol, mkg -- are you going to teach the guys not to spray the seats and to put the seats down when they are finished? good luck!
that's a pissy comment nan
:D
trifioso, so as i say, we do not need to have a sex stated for students! get the bathrooms changed. who came up with the silly idea of a ladies and mens bathrooms anyway? better that you have tiny "rooms" like in europe: there are bathrooms that are 3/4 of a meter by 1.5 meters and inside and have toilet and a tiny sink on the wall.........open the spaces that are now girls rooms and boys rooms and put a hall with these tiny rooms. it would work except for wheel chairs and then you have some wheel chair ones. no sex is needed at all then.
well, the school building already exist, so......
mkg as never lived in a house with teenaged boys
Having cleaned bathrooms -- mens rooms covered in piss and womens rooms full of paper.
i have noticed that at Nationals Park the men manage to keep the restroom neat. Maybe this a a feature of baseball fans. ::shrug::
mkg is also forgetting that in europe most of the bathrooms have attendants that clean up behind everyone, or they are self cleaning cubicles. The ones that aren't are filthy.
they might have bigger bats at the ball park DC to aim better :D
seain do you speak spanish?
SÃ, hablo español.
he does
yo tambien
how do I say "when I was younger I could not stop talking? " is it Cuando era joven yo no podia hablar?
