12:40 am

mamabear

depends on which side of the hill you roll it on

Blaze

two second rule is extended when cheetos hit the floor

12:42 am

LeslieAnn

12:43 am

You were. And I am right with you.

2:19 am

Cat9x

Hi flosey!

2:19 am

2:19 am

flosey

2:19 am

Cat9x

I love long baths, bubbles and a good book, I am in heaven!

2:20 am

kierlex

i have a heart condition (nothing serious) but when i am in hot baths or hot tubs i get really faint. showering doesn't seem to do that

2:20 am

flosey

brain's not wide awake

2:20 am

sprite

*or should that be "summon up"?

2:21 am

flosey

know the feeling kierlex - been there

2:21 am

jillibus

I should think not at this hour, flosey -- and mine is rapidly shutting down

2:21 am

Cat9x

I agree kier, baths do tend to make you feel faint if it gets too hot. And showers don't do that, don't know why.

2:21 am

Atalante

hasn't enable ever read Dragonlance?

2:21 am

flosey

had been asleep

2:22 am

sprite

If you can recuperate, why can't you cuperate?

2:22 am

kierlex

i have not read dragonlance.

2:22 am

kierlex

good questionsprite

2:22 am

sprite

Enable isn't into any of that kind of reading, Ata. Hi and *hug*

2:22 am

Cat9x

LOL, true sprite!

2:22 am

Cat9x

Hi Ata!

2:24 am

Cat9x

you give them too much credit Kier, 1964? Try 1904 lol

2:24 am

2:24 am

Cat9x

LOL sprite!!!!!! LMAO!!!

2:25 am

2:25 am

Cat9x

97 left, better get to it :)

2:25 am

kierlex

well, maybe 1964 BCE

2:25 am

sprite

Yes, we had 'techie' once or twice. There is absolutely no logic involved in the enable.

2:27 am

Atalante

2:28 am

jillibus

Iguess you're clawing your way out of this, ata --?

2:28 am

2:28 am

Cat9x

2:35 am

2:35 am

Cat9x

Thanks so much Ata! You are the BEST! :)

2:36 am

sprite

Thanks so much, Ata, it is a perfect pic!

2:36 am

Angelsong

I just noticed profiles have the date the player joined Babble. any interest in a calendar for babble anniversaries?

2:36 am

Atalante

*grins* even Silverclaw's claws are photogenic!! I need to make her into a cat model and earn lots of money from her ...

2:36 am

sprite

Oh yes, that would be fun, Angel!

2:37 am

Angelsong

I think I can do a Babble Anniversaries Calendar quite easily.

2:38 am

FMitch

Yes I asked Dr_G if he could add the date joined field and he did it within 24hrs.

2:38 am

sprite

I'd like that.

2:38 am

Cat9x

It's done, now my new desktop, I LOVE it!! Thanks again Ata :)

2:38 am

Atalante

2:38 am

sprite

FMitch, you certainly must have something I don't, LOL. Teach me how to communicate with the man?

2:38 am

Angelsong

mab, I hope that by my completing the 50 P's, I've managed to pe8/55 you that there are in fact 50 P's in the grid. If I have, I am a good pe9/72.

2:39 am

FMitch

LOL shame I can't be as effective with the log issue :(

2:39 am

sprite

Wow Angel, thanks for those clues :)

2:39 am

sprite

Maybe that's it, FMitch, that's where it went wrong here too :)

2:40 am

Angelsong

I liked that a lot, sprite!

2:40 am

joey

2:41 am

mab

yes, thank you Angel.

2:42 am

joey

thank you so much for the help, Cat9x, I never would have gotten that

2:42 am

Cat9x

sounds like what you might call a bird who consumes se4/9's

2:42 am

sprite

That is really a fun word to find.

2:42 am

Cat9x

it was a fluke that I did LOL You're welcome Joey :)

2:43 am

Atalante

Angelsong

I love large grids! such fun!!

2:44 am

Hi Haz! It is big, but very much fun!

2:45 am

sprite

Thanks Cat.

2:45 am

Haz1558

Even with the dreaded k there?

2:45 am

Cat9x

one is what you do to food, the other is what an actor or actress does.

2:45 am

FMitch

... but sooo many p's!!!

Morning Haz

2:45 am

Cat9x

Hi Haz! Great grid, lots of fun!

2:45 am

joey

2:46 am

Haz1558

Good grief, I've just looked to see - 50 p words?

2:46 am

sprite

It was the actor one I was missing. Thanks again :)

2:46 am

Cat9x

Even with the dreaded K, all the k's but one are connected.

2:46 am

Cat9x

you're welcome sprite :)

2:47 am

Haz1558

There are some k words from yesterday - who says we don't remember these things?

2:47 am

Atalante

whereabouts in the bay area are you, cat?

2:48 am

Cat9x

In San Jose, Ata, near the Campbell border.

2:48 am

Atalante

omg. I was there in May

2:48 am

Cat9x

No way!!!! Were you?

2:49 am

Atalante

yeah, was staying in Santa Clara with friends but we ventured into San Jose a good amount!

2:49 am

FMitch

Haz, there are quite a few good runs in the p's that build to 7s 8s and a couple of 9s

2:49 am

Cat9x

Wow! Ever heard of the Winchester Mystery House? I an right down the road :)

2:50 am

sprite

I never he5 of that, but it sounds like a place to visit, Cat!

2:50 am

Haz1558

I'm having fun already!

2:50 am

Cat9x

If you ever come back, we will have to meet for a drink and exchange kitty stories :)

2:50 am

Atalante

definitely heard of it! I think we must have gone almost right past your house! well, I'll be back over there before too long, I hope, so then I can come and say hi now I know you're there!

2:51 am

sprite

Cat and Ata both said a wo-ord, Cat and Ata both said a wo-ord. :)

2:51 am

Cat9x

It's wonderful sprite! Its the mansion of Sarah Winchester, her hubby was the Winchester of gun fame. She went nuts and kept building and building onto the house, very rich, beautiful Victorian, they say its haunted :)

2:52 am

Cat9x

oopsie sprite :)

2:52 am

Cat9x

Let me know if you ever make it back Ata, we will definitely meet for a time! :)

2:52 am

sprite

That certainly asks for a visit, Cat!

2:52 am

Atalante

I will make it back! I get over there about once a year on average!

2:53 am

Cat9x

Poor woman, turned into a recluse, thought the spirits of people killed by her husbands weapons came back to haunt her. Very tragic story.

2:53 am

Cat9x

wonderful Ata!

2:56 am

Cat9x

She was only a tad over 4 feet tall, and built tiny doors that opened to nothing, hiding places all over, walkways that went nowhere, all in trying to confuse the spirits. One of the most beautiful homes I have ever seen. I adore anything Victorian, homes, clothes, you name it. My dream is to one day own a Victorian home. Ok, I've rambled on enuf, back to the grid!

2:57 am

sprite

Sold!

2:57 am

Cat9x

lol, good! You can come and we will have a visit too!

2:57 am

sprite

That would be so nice :)

2:58 am

FMitch

http://www.winchestermysteryhouse.com/

good old google!!!

2:58 am

Cat9x

They have a website you can visit, tell the story and has pictures, just Google Winchester Mysery House.

2:58 am

Cat9x

yes it would! :)

2:58 am

Cat9x

yikes, forgive my horrid typos :)

2:58 am

Cat9x

Google is the best!

2:59 am

sherb

good morning folks... it's the weekend!! :D

2:59 am

Cat9x

They have midnight Halloween tours, expensive, but very fun!

3:00 am

Cat9x

Good morning Sherb

3:00 am

Atalante

I'd love to go there ... next time!

3:00 am

sprite

Hi sherb!

3:00 am

Cat9x

You'll like it Ata, it's a wonder to see, the beauty of that home :)

3:00 am

sprite

Okay, I put the link on my PIP, and will keep it in mind when planning holidays!

3:01 am

Atalante

can you take photos in there, do you know?

3:01 am

Cat9x

Good sprite! :)

3:01 am

sherb

morning Cat, morning sprite :) :)

3:01 am

FMitch

Hey sherb, morning.

3:01 am

Cat9x

That I don't know, Ata, I would assume you can, don't see why not.

3:02 am

Haz1558

Good morning sherb - Dr_God has been generous and given you a big grid for the weekend.

3:02 am

Cat9x

It's a Landmark here, and I would expect them to allow photos.

3:02 am

Atalante

wow - bet you could get some amazing pics in there of all the little doorways and passages and stuff

3:02 am

sprite

Sometimes it is forbidden, because they sell commercial pics.

3:04 am

Cat9x

I bet you could. It has been on TV quite a few times too, people trying to solve whether or not Sarah Winchester really is a sprit there. The people who work there talk about things that are moved, noises etc they themselves have seen and heard.

3:04 am

Cat9x

True sprite, but I will find out, I am curious now :)

3:04 am

sprite

Well, if I were a spirit, I would feel invited to a house with several doorways and passages built just for spirits!

3:05 am

sherb

hi FMitch :)

hi Haz :) ...I've started to prefer the smaller grids... *whispers* I think my Babble addiction might be waning...

3:05 am

sprite

LOL sherb! Heresy!

3:05 am

Atalante

so would I! sounds a perfect place for spirits!

3:05 am

Cat9x

This is a wonderful grid though Sherb, even if it is large,

3:05 am

Haz1558

What therapy did you get Sherb?

3:05 am

Cat9x

Yes it does Ata! I love things like that, spirits, hauntings, can you tell? lol

3:06 am

FMitch

LOL Haz

3:07 am

Haz1558

I suppose you have to want to be cured of an addiction. I haven't reached that stage yet.

3:07 am

sprite

I need someone to kick me next time I try 'create'.

3:07 am

Cat9x

Nor have I Haz :)

3:07 am

Cat9x

LOL, will do sprite!

3:08 am

sprite

Thanks :)

3:08 am

sherb

10 hours days at work... finally decided I can work or Babble, but not both... oddly, it feels like a liberation, and now I can enjoy when I do play...

3:10 am

Haz1558

Well, enjoyment is the main thing and if you can babble without feeling guilty or stressed, then that has to be good.

3:10 am

sprite

I must admit I only play for fun, never feel like I have to. It's just too much fun. If I have the time, I play. :)

3:11 am

Haz1558

But then it takes you less time than the rest of us! But I'm glad you play for fun.

The moment I find I have no fun playing, I will stop. What's the use of playing if it isn't enjoyment?

3:14 am

Haz1558

You're right. And this is a fun grid!

3:14 am

kierlex

wow that winchester house was something! the first picture on the homepage was so impressive AND THEN I SAW THE AERIAL PHOTO!!! HOLY COW

3:14 am

sherb

I like to play when I can take my time and chat... it was a run of large grids a few weeks ago that finally broke me...

3:14 am

sprite

One of the best we had in a long time :)

3:15 am

sherb

I suppose I'd better start entering some words...

3:15 am

FMitch

It's enormous isn't it kier!

3:15 am

sprite

I think I play relaxed, because I couldn't care less about the ratings. So not finishing a grid wouldn't be a problem (though I love hunting those last words) and not playing for a day or more is no problem either.

3:16 am

kierlex

160 rooms! amazing. i think one of the bedrooms in there is bigger than our whole house..

3:16 am

Cat9x

It's wonderful isn't it!!!

3:16 am

Haz1558

And sherb - don't try create. Sprite has already tried and it isn't there!

3:16 am

kierlex

i adore old houses, would love to visit.

3:16 am

sprite

Nor recreate, of course. Cat has kicked me for keep on trying.

3:17 am

Cat9x

I do too kier, they have charecter, not like todays homes. They are works of art!

3:17 am

sprite

On my request ;)

3:17 am

Cat9x

LOL sprite!

3:17 am

kierlex

our house was built in 1937. definitely has 'character' lol

3:17 am

Cat9x

lol

3:18 am

Cat9x

If I won the lottery, thats what I would do, restore a Victorian.

3:18 am

sherb

sprite - you put your finger on it... I cared too much about the rankings... it's the competitor in me...

3:18 am

kierlex

these McMansions nowadays are so lame. it's like architectural porn

3:18 am

Cat9x

You got it Kier!

3:19 am

kierlex

our's is more just a simple cottage, nothing fancy. it has good bones but a lame cinderblock foundaiton

3:19 am

kierlex

what rankings are you talking about guys?

3:19 am

sherb

Cat - I live in a VIctorian house... I love the old features like the high ceilings, large windows... but the maintenance never ends...

3:20 am

RRRRR

hey guys! Can you guys help me with et5/12 and et6/18

3:20 am

sherb

kier - at the top of the page... click on 'Rankings'

3:20 am

Cat9x

Oh Sherb you are so lucky!!! True, it's a neverending battle I am sure, but is it worth it?

3:20 am

Kateq

et6==forever, poetically

3:21 am

sprite

et5: et + humanlike animal.

3:21 am

Kateq

et5=store house, military issue, sounds like something you listen to on the net

3:23 am

sherb

it's certainly worth it... I especially love the quirky features, like the original glass which is still left in some of the windows... it's slightly rippled, because that's how it was in those days...

3:24 am

kierlex

oh the rankings were interesting. i had no idea!

3:24 am

Cat9x

It sounds wonderful sherb!

3:25 am

Cat9x

I never knew of the rankings either, oh well, I'd be low on them anyway! :)

3:25 am

sprite

Don't let them ruin your fun in playing though ;)

3:26 am

Haz1558

If you keep going the way you are, Cat, then you will move up the rankings. But they are not the most important thing at all.

3:26 am

kierlex

oh, i won't. i have only finished one babble in my whole career =)

3:26 am

Atalante

pfff who cares about the rankings :)

3:26 am

Cat9x

I never would, it's not something I would bother with anyway, I do this for me, no one else :)

3:26 am

sprite

Same h4!

3:27 am

Cat9x

Thanks Haz, I never had the time to finish before, was too spent from taking care of my Mom. I'm not complaining mind you, I'd do it again, any day.

3:27 am

kierlex

ok then... i need to go to bed i keep drifting off to sleep despite myself

3:28 am

Cat9x

sleep well kier!

3:28 am

sprite

Night Kier!

3:28 am

Angelsong

it's odd, but one of the best things about babble is working on the resource pages. they have grown a lot since they lived on my hard drive.

3:28 am

Haz1558

I know you would, Cat.

3:29 am

sprite

Your resource page is wonderful, Angel. A big help for new players too.

3:29 am

Cat9x

ok, I am missing one U, can't seem to find it. I have ur4/5, us4/6 and us4/5, any hints on what I can't see"? :)

3:29 am

kierlex

gnite all. i got one more word and then drifted again.

3:29 am

Haz1558

ur5/12 is also there.

3:30 am

Haz1558

Good night kierlex - sleep well.

3:30 am

sprite

3:30 am

Cat9x

Thanks Haz. Nite nite kier:)

3:31 am

3:31 am

sherb

3:31 am

Haz1558

Did you add your own thoughts?

3:32 am

FMitch

3:32 am

sherb

3:32 am

Haz1558

(FMitch is my literary agent)

3:32 am

Atalante

3:33 am

FMitch

3:33 am

sprite

Yeah, finished the Ps :)

3:34 am

Cat9x

good job sprite! I still have half to go on the P's.

3:35 am

sprite

A few uncommon ones, but not much. Most are easy to find :) Lots of combos.

3:35 am

Cat9x

One of my fav P words is in the grid, love that word, don't know why, just the way it rolls off the tongue!:) Pe6/24, to read

3:37 am

sprite

And past tense? I looked at the first Pe6/24 and wondered if that really meant 'to read', LOL.

3:38 am

Cat9x

yes have the past tense also :) Wonderful word!

3:39 am

Haz1558

I'm tickled that it takes 'Howdy pa7/36'

3:39 am

Atalante

woot! just got the k8 :)

3:40 am

sprite

wtg Ata!

3:40 am

Cat9x

Yes, it's a southern grid lol

3:40 am

FMitch

well who would have thought Haz and thanks didn't have that one.

3:40 am

sprite

I am down to 15 and working from my list, to see if I have forgotten plurals and such. I have.

3:40 am

Cat9x

Congrats Ata!

3:41 am

Cat9x

I always miss some plurals somewhere, always

3:41 am

Atalante

so do I ... and its SO annoying!

3:41 am

Haz1558

I tried it with no real hope that it would work, but there you go.

3:42 am

sprite

Somehow it's even more embarrassing for me to discover I forgot singulars.

3:42 am

Calqhoon

Haha, dr4/5 expression of annoyance

3:42 am

Cat9x

Same here, I monkey typed it thinking no way, and voila, accepted! But eeler isn't, go figure.

3:42 am

sprite

And Da4/5 as well, Calq!

3:43 am

Calqhoon

Oh yeah heheh

3:43 am

Haz1558

My worst nightmare would be to get a job as a da6/21.

3:44 am

Cat9x

agree, hard hard work.

3:44 am

sprite

The grass or the repairer?

3:44 am

sherb

read your stories Haz... laughed so much it brought tears to my eyes... :D

3:45 am

Cat9x

repairer I was speaking of :)

3:45 am

Haz1558

The repairer - I have an allergy to needles and thread.

3:45 am

Haz1558

Glad you enjoyed them sherb!

3:45 am

Cat9x

lol, as do I!

3:45 am

sprite

:)

3:46 am

jillibus

Haz - where can we find your stories?

3:46 am

Haz1558

In BabAnon under Other Interests - Animal Magic.

3:48 am

jillibus

I look forward to them -- when my eyes will stay open, which is not now! I think I'll crash very soon

3:48 am

sprite

Fireworks! I go look up your story, Haz, right now :)

3:49 am

Haz1558

Bed sounds like a good idea, jillibus!

3:49 am

Cat9x

3:49 am

Haz1558

Congratulations sprite!

3:50 am

FMitch

Woohoo sprite. I've reached 153 and need to make a start on the day I think.

3:50 am

sherb

3:50 am

Atalante

yay sprite! I shoudl really stop just looking at the chat log and start looking back at the grid

3:51 am

Haz1558

I haven't worked out my type yet. Who do I want to be the same as?.........

3:54 am

sherb

it's interesting how people's personalities come across in the chat log...

3:54 am

sprite

â€˜Iâ€™m not shouting,â€™ she said, â€˜I talk loud to everybodyâ€™
LOLLLL!

3:55 am

sprite

It's so much fun, Haz :)

3:55 am

Haz1558

I couldn't believe it when she said it!

3:56 am

Calqhoon

Cat9x

hey hurshy

4:19 am

hurshy

i didn't sleep well so i opted out of seeing chateau d'if in favor of doing laundry by hand in the tub in our room, and babbling.

4:19 am

Atalante

look at the pic in my profile, hurshy!

4:19 am

hurshy

the self-service laundromat seems to have gone out of business, the hotel service is closed on weekends, and would be ridiculously expensive anyway... ok looking at ata's pic...

4:20 am

mab

hi hurshy!

4:20 am

hurshy

awwwwwwwwwwwww

4:20 am

Cat9x

Isn't that a wonderful pic hurshy?

4:24 am

Atalante

Marseille isn't *the* most interesting place in the world ...

4:25 am

hurshy

no, not really. i did have b.b. for dinner last night at the best restaurant in the city... so i think i can officially say i'm not crazy about fish stew

4:25 am

jean1953

4:25 am

hurshy

4:27 am

travelling can be so tiring - one has so many options for seeing the sites. a little break is a good thing.

4:27 am

hurshy

4:28 am

mab

5:01 am

hurshy

5:02 am

hurshy

hurshy

jamos - you find letters that connect to make words and you type them in where it says "add word", you can change directions but you can't use the same tile over again in one word. you can use 2 e's if they are 2 different e tiles.

5:13 am

jamos:.:

i no

5:13 am

KittyVane

Good afternoon everyone!

5:13 am

jamos-it doesn't really sound like anything I can think of, but if you arrange shapes you make a pa_____. Also, if you want to play this game, it helps to start with the shorter, easier words because often they can later be made into longer ones, and after a while you begin to see the pa______

8:10 am

hurshy

if i lived in france i would be enormously fat, i would eat so many croissants. i think they have a pact, you have to swear an oath when you become a french baker that you will never give away the secret to making really good croissants, because even the best bakeries in the US don't seem to match up

8:11 am

ARB

It's the beure beure beure

8:11 am

rolin

and hurshy....arent the baguettes a unique flavour even??

8:11 am

Angelsong

8:11 am

Anniebrook

oh hurshey, croissants!! i just gained 5 lbs. by typing the word. ummmm

9:56 am

ScoutsMom

No...I wasn't eating cheetos; I believe that was renfield. I was laughiing so hard I had to log off so as not to spit wine on the laptop. I think it was my comment of "cheetos...is there anything they can't do?" that started it.

9:56 am

musicmom

I just know I have said that I don't use the lists, and all I mean is that I don't, literally, go back and forth--too much work for me. Plus , i am addictive, so if I start, I won't stop til I am done.
this works better for me--get as many as i can, offer clues on chat if i have the words and play

Good morning/afternoon all. Is the grid still yummy or has it lost its savour?

10:32 am

musicmom

I'm going to have to go read that thread. I am a no list if I have time to meander through the grid. Definite list if I want to just do it quickly. It is kind of like chess or speed chess. Different but one not better than the other.

10:32 am

evanonut

i haven't seen babbler in FOREVER

10:32 am

musicmom

Haz I am loving this grid. So much so, that i said I was leaving but I haven't.

Hi Sherb - just read your profile - my husband is from Muswell Hill - said there is a good Italian restaurant in Primrose Hill, but he can't remember the name...

11:33 am

Krista

Casa Mansi?

11:35 am

sherb

hi Krista :) ...there's a few... does he remember if it's in the village itself?

11:36 am

FMitch

Primrose Hill, Whitestone Pond, Vale of Health, Kenwood, Belsize Park Gardens, Hampstead (as a village) all my memories from over 40 years ago.

11:37 am

Krista

Chalk Farm Station...actually, it was an ice cream shop that sold food as well? Marine Icees? Not actually in PH, he says now.

11:37 am

FMitch

I was very young when we moved honest!

I love Marine Ices... great pizzas... and ice cream...

12:01 pm

bostonmermaid

12:02 pm

rolin

12:02 pm

stidmama

absolutely, mermaid! I really enjoy seeing the different types of shells from around the world. actually, I guess I am like so many of us babbleholics -- no subject is to obscure or strange!

12:02 pm

Haz1558

What sort of music is it?

12:03 pm

FMitch

Well rolin given some of the line up they just mentioned maybe not. It always used to be classical - but would you like WestLife at that decibel level?

12:03 pm

rolin

haz..its always a range...concerts from folk...jazz...classical..pop(soft)

12:03 pm

mymuseisme

hi haz!

12:03 pm

Haz1558

Hello mymuse!

12:03 pm

rolin

mmmmm.... its just pop...its not like its heavy metal or grunge..

12:03 pm

hetty

fmitch; yes I have a digital camera, trouble is i cant figure how to get images into the bio page. Maybe one of my smart this-age kids can help me.

12:04 pm

Haz1558

Maybe it's the volume of the music that is the problem.

12:04 pm

rolin

Celebrated artist Art Garfunkel will open the summer season, with highlights including the legendary Simple Minds, Ronan Keating, Bryn Terfel, Jools Holland, Westlife, Classic FM Four Seasons & Fireworks, the unmissable Last Nights and A Tribute to Dirty Dancing!

12:04 pm

FMitch

Oh do see ifyou can get one of them to help you hetty would so love to see the quails and wisteria.

12:05 pm

Haz1558

Well, I have to say that most of that would appeal to me!

12:05 pm

hetty

Does anyone have a chambered nautilus?

12:05 pm

rolin

12:06 pm

hey stid I think the species name is springeri, but I can't swear to it... and you're right about us Babblers. I sense that most of us are the sort who get fascinated by diverse subject matter... from Roman aquaducts to seashell formation to language to... you name it!!

Mamabear -- isn't that four-letter word banned in babble? LOL

12:13 pm

evanonut

12:14 pm

shutterbug

Oh, thats one. Yes it is banned!

12:14 pm

hi nut! it's beautiful here, too. Good gardening day -- work two hours in the cooler morning, then rest for a few hours, then work again in the evening.

12:15 pm

evanonut

just pulled some determined weeds out myself

12:15 pm

Jen34

these phantoms are driving me crazy today; I've tried to type in "serene" three times now

12:15 pm

stidmama

good for you, nut! on my way in just now, I saw a four-foot tall thistle which is no more... it was hiding in the elderberry trees!

12:16 pm

Atalante

why oh why can't I find Cs today!!

12:16 pm

mamabear

gorgeous day here too, nut! will soon be floating in the pool with a beverage of choice and the CD player accompanying me while I sing!

12:16 pm

Jen34

I'm sure if I type it enough times, it will suddenly be accepted

12:16 pm

stidmama

I think a lot of the words are really hard today. I am about to grab the list...

12:16 pm

Jen34

there are a ton of ce's, atalante

12:17 pm

evanonut

no pool here, got a couple puddles left from the storms though...

12:17 pm

stidmama

yep. going to the list. BRB

12:17 pm

mamabear

I haven't looked at it or printed it yet and I need 80 still. Quite unusual for me! due to laziness - I have to take the computer into another room to connect to the printer

12:17 pm

mymuseisme

my phantom word is centaur jen lol!

12:17 pm

Jen34

good for you, mamabear :)

12:17 pm

12:18 pm

shutterbug

12:18 pm

Jen34

lol, muse

12:18 pm

mamabear

why isn't redate a word?

12:18 pm

Jen34

or, "sured"?

12:18 pm

mymuseisme

I know, tried that one too

12:18 pm

shutterbug

redate Is a word, thanks!

12:18 pm

mamabear

but yet re "yes, my de**" works. I don't get it

12:19 pm

Jen34

yes, it worked for me too!

12:19 pm

shutterbug

I needed that one.

12:19 pm

mamabear

oops

12:19 pm

mymuseisme

lol exactly

12:20 pm

shutterbug

the question is why isnt redare a word?

12:20 pm

mamabear

I guess I meant that word with er at the end.

12:21 pm

Jen34

that one works, too, mamabear

12:21 pm

shutterbug

no, jenn, redare does not work

12:22 pm

mamabear

12:22 pm

Jen34

oops, sorry, I meant the one from earlier -- 12:18

12:22 pm

Jen34

I'm suffering from chat lag

12:23 pm

stidmama

okay, and back. I have 154 words to go, and feeling a bit sluggish...

12:24 pm

mamabear

12:24 pm

shutterbug

dont worry stid, I still need 133

12:24 pm

mymuseisme

12:24 pm

stidmama

Mamabear, that is really good progress, esp with no list!

12:25 pm

Haz1558

Considering you haven't babbled in a while, you've done really well mamabear. BUt it is a fun grid!

12:25 pm

mymuseisme

at least I know I'm sadly deficient in the ce department

12:26 pm

mamabear

yes - it is fun, but now a bit frustrating

12:26 pm

stidmama

I am not worried shutterbug! I have decided to stop worrying about finishing unless I get really close from now on. I made my goal of being in the top scorers on the 30-day list a couple days in a row this week, and now am playing only when it's fun.

12:26 pm

Jen34

monkey typed a lot of the ce's

12:27 pm

mamabear

does anyone know what the e word is that comes from the 5th column, the e under the t? please

12:27 pm

bostonmermaid

so many of the ce's are babblets

12:27 pm

Haz1558

Then now is the time to quit! If you've enjoyed it up to now, don't let it be a chore.

12:27 pm

Jen34

don't have that one yet, mamabear

12:27 pm

mymuseisme

12:28 pm

I think the e word is e + ta 4

You're welcome.

12:29 pm

12:30 pm

Jen34

12:30 pm

12:30 pm

12:32 pm

rolin

pe8/55 get some one to agree with you...and the pe9 is someone who does this

12:32 pm

shutterbug

Haz1558

Yes, I saw it posted earlier on as that rolin, but have never heard of it. An innocent life I've led.....

12:34 pm

hetty

What is most strange about your clue, Haz, is I don't see what the synonym for yuletide is!

12:34 pm

mamabear

12:34 pm

mymuseisme

1:35 pm

musicmom

Thanks une

1:35 pm

Uneaixoise

it rhymes (sorta) with not your stepmom but your step***

1:36 pm

hetty

musicmom, I just foud it. Start with seven, end with ending of pet name for father (thanks Haz!)

1:36 pm

mymuseisme

ty haz!

1:36 pm

musicmom

so it ends with a vowel?

1:36 pm

LeslieAnn

isn't that an h6?

1:36 pm

Uneaixoise

not familiar with that pet name--interesting

1:37 pm

Golux13

yeah, just he6

1:37 pm

Haz1558

Or the beginning of what turns into a frog?

1:37 pm

Uneaixoise

oops, yes, that's the he6/27

1:37 pm

Uneaixoise

yes!!

1:37 pm

Ping

hi again

1:37 pm

Golux13

the only he7 I have is a plural of a different he6

1:37 pm

LeslieAnn

hi ping!

1:37 pm

Anniebrook

hi ping!

1:37 pm

hetty

music mom, no it ends ith a fourth letter

1:37 pm

pam

why, ping, you have changed

1:37 pm

musicmom

Okay i got the six. Now does the 7 (is there a 7?) that builds off that?

1:37 pm

mymuseisme

hey ping

1:38 pm

Uneaixoise

there's an he7 that's the plural of he6/24 and one that's the plural of he6/21

1:38 pm

musicmom

Hi ping

1:38 pm

shutterbug

is this and he 6 or and he7?

1:38 pm

musicmom

Okay I have both of those. Thanks

1:38 pm

Uneaixoise

and the past tense of the funeral car

1:39 pm

musicmom

Yep that was weird! I didn't know you could past tense a funeral car

1:39 pm

Uneaixoise

i didn't either!!

1:39 pm

Ping

pam, yes ifelt very out of it w the seashell icon

1:39 pm

LeslieAnn

well, if somebody's at the cemetary, maybe they've been he 7 there

1:39 pm

Golux13

Oh, and that gives me the last re8!

1:39 pm

shutterbug

Ok, no more talking about funeral cars. My grandfather just died, and I never want to see another funeral car again.

1:39 pm

musicmom

very good point leslieann

1:39 pm

musicmom

I'm sorry shutterbugy

1:40 pm

LeslieAnn

sorry shutter.

1:40 pm

pam

sorry, shutter

1:40 pm

Ping

past tense of funeral car - good title

1:41 pm

shutterbug

ok, lets move onto another word now.

1:41 pm

hetty

The word he**** means to carry or bear, so it can, as a verb, be tensed. Notice what the actors do when they "carry" the text in advance.

1:41 pm

Ping

my 7 month old is helping me today

1:41 pm

musicmom

82 words left and I think it is time for a list.

1:41 pm

LeslieAnn

hetty is such a smartie

1:41 pm

shutterbug

Oh, ping, tht is so cite.

1:42 pm

Ping

,m 88,.ol [ xdz

1:42 pm

shutterbug

*cute*

1:42 pm

musicmom

which btw, hetty, is in the grid today as well

1:42 pm

LeslieAnn

i don't think that's in the grid today, ping's kid

1:42 pm

musicmom

Good one ping's baby!

1:42 pm

hetty

and Leslie is same plus synonym for dokey

1:42 pm

Ping

she did that - precocious yes?

1:42 pm

LeslieAnn

but, you know, close. keep at it.

1:43 pm

LeslieAnn

i was being serious, hetty! i didn't know that

1:43 pm

Ping

her name is carry - alt spelling of course

1:43 pm

Krista

Has anyone noticed that the British slang for one's behind is on the grid almost every day?

1:44 pm

musicmom

It does appear often Krista

1:44 pm

Atalante

and that its past tense isn't allowed ....

1:44 pm

shutterbug

I know Krista.

1:45 pm

Krista

yep! I drive around with the back of that on my car...I have a Taurus SE...hubby rearranged the letters to spell that word...no one here gets it, though!

1:45 pm

hetty

Leslie, LOL. Yo're a peachie. My problem is I've spent my life--sixty years almost--teaching

1:45 pm

Krista

and threw the other letters away, I might add

1:45 pm

shutterbug

Nice crab Krista, did you catch it?

1:45 pm

StephieC

en7/32?

1:46 pm

LeslieAnn

lol, i'm a smart donkey often enough, so it'll probably go toward another time i don't get caught ;)

1:46 pm

Golux13

present participle of en6/21

1:46 pm

StephieC

en6/21?

1:47 pm

Krista

yes, I did, thanks! - I threw it back in, though..don't pick crabs myself anymore..did it during morning sickness and it ruined me on them!

1:47 pm

mymuseisme

en6,7 en+ a form of address in a letter

1:47 pm

LeslieAnn

my thoughts exactly, stephie ;)

1:47 pm

Golux13

en + loved one (+present participle ending)

1:47 pm

shutterbug

i need the en6/21 too.

1:47 pm

shutterbug

i LOVE going crabbing.!!!!!!

1:47 pm

Atalante

love his blue crabby bits!

1:47 pm

StephieC

thanks!

1:48 pm

hetty

and the British slang for one's behind is certainly ubiquitous.I remember when I first read scenes from Mdsummer night's Dream to Canadaian students they all cllapsed into giggles when Titania was declared enamourwed of an ASS and fresh from the land of ar**s I didn't know why.As I've said before, we are separated by a ommon language

1:48 pm

Krista

they are really beautiful creatures

1:48 pm

LeslieAnn

how does one pick crabs?

1:48 pm

shutterbug

I loike EAtING them.

1:49 pm

Krista

hetty, I live that every day in my house.

1:49 pm

shutterbug

I dont pick them, I catch them.

1:49 pm

hetty

Anyone noticed how they resemble spiders ?

1:49 pm

Jen34

eek - he's everywhere!

1:49 pm

AEuser

1:49 pm

shutterbug

280

1:49 pm

LeslieAnn

280 big ones, aeuser

1:50 pm

shutterbug

My brother has a tarantula.

1:50 pm

Krista

picking crabs is how you break them apart and pick the meat out to eat them...there is a lot of gooey yellow stuff that turns my stomach..I can eat it if someone else picks them.

1:50 pm

LeslieAnn

ewww. so you catch them and eat them yourself? being from the midwest this is interesting :)

1:51 pm

shutterbug

UUGGH, yuck I dont ike that yellow stuff either.

1:51 pm

shutterbug

I catch and eat my own crabs.

1:51 pm

Jen34

whenever we eat peel-n-eat shrimp, I always make my husband do the peeling -- something about the legs . . .

1:51 pm

shutterbug

i never new that Krista. I didnt know that was called picking them.

1:52 pm

musicmom

YUM crab and shrimp. mmmmmmmmm

1:52 pm

shutterbug

I LOVE peeling shrimp too!

1:52 pm

shutterbug

I am a seafood head you could say!!!!!

1:52 pm

Atalante

the gooey yellow stuff is lungs ... and reproductive bits

1:52 pm

LeslieAnn

lol

1:52 pm

Jen34

yuck -- gooey yellow reproductive bits -- that's just wrong

1:53 pm

Krista

It could be a Maryland term, I don't know (picking).

1:53 pm

musicmom

YUM ATA

1:53 pm

LeslieAnn

i think i will stick to ordering my crabs already prepared :)

1:53 pm

Atalante

*grins* I'm doing well at grossing out babblers today!

1:53 pm

mymuseisme

me too LA and Alaskan king crab is my favorite :)

1:53 pm

Krista

Shrimp....ahhhhh....the best. In Maryland we eat them steamed and spiced. They don't taste right to me any other way.

1:53 pm

musicmom

Oh where is the adventure in that Leslieann?

1:53 pm

shutterbug

Oh, no, Leslie it's much cheaper and more fun to catch your own.

1:54 pm

Jen34

it's a talent, Atalante :)

1:54 pm

shutterbug

Anyone want to com with me ot go crabbiong? LOL!

1:54 pm

shutterbug

wow, I really messed my spelling up there.

Atalante

1:55 pm

LeslieAnn

crabboing - bouncing down the beach looking for crabs. no spelling errors there

1:56 pm

Jen34

that's quite an offer, krista :)

1:56 pm

Krista

Yes, I knew you would all cut and paste that right away. :)~

1:56 pm

LeslieAnn

oh dear, atalante

1:57 pm

Jen34

Atalante

Thought I'd spare my husband the constant Babble commentary from me, and talk to those who care. :)

6:16 pm

Krista

There's always time for just a few more.

6:16 pm

Jen34

of course

6:16 pm

Uncagain

they will probably not start on time anyway

6:17 pm

bonkler

who and or what is bunky and why are you voting for him/her?

6:17 pm

Cat9x

Big Brother allstars bonkler :)

6:17 pm

LeslieAnn

big brother :)

6:17 pm

bonkler

they have all stars?

6:17 pm

Uncagain

thought for a second that lederhosen was in here

6:18 pm

LeslieAnn

sadly, yes ;) i voted so far for Janelle, Kaysar and Danielle, cat

6:18 pm

Cat9x

I detest Yvette, but wanna see her get her's AGAIN :) Yes, voting now for allstars!

6:18 pm

LeslieAnn

ch 6/7 combo?

6:18 pm

bonkler

just can't do the unreality show thing.

6:19 pm

LeslieAnn

lol cat, do you read reality blurred? that's the same reason they were pushing to get jase on

6:19 pm

StephieC

ch6/7 sounds like a type of cheese

6:19 pm

Cat9x

I am not a big Danielle fan, disliked her a lot! She did play a good game though.

6:19 pm

helenkeller

ok cat - i was worried there for a moment, because i think the entire plaent detests evil-ette

6:19 pm

abe79

i'm sorry, i missed the se 8/9, if someone would be so kind !

6:19 pm

Cat9x

I don't like reality shows either Bonkler, but have always loved BB

6:19 pm

Uncagain

like the cheese, but short a double letter and spelled wrong too

6:19 pm

Jen34

LA, sounds like a type of cheese, single the double letter and change a vowel

6:19 pm

LeslieAnn

oh come ON, i tried to monkey that like 16 times. thanks stephie

6:20 pm

Jen34

then the plural

6:20 pm

Minveryork

Sorry, I can't join in on the race, hellenkeller. I have too many words left. I have 148 words. Does anyone else want to race who may have the same amount of words left?I am not a good racer though because I'm way too slow at this game. I need a lot more practice

6:20 pm

LeslieAnn

danielle made me laugh, that's enough for me to vote for her :)

6:20 pm

Cat9x

I read Reality blurred yes :) Thats the only reason I want her back, to see her get trashed and booted!

6:20 pm

LeslieAnn

i might vote for that chicken fellow for IL representation, even though i never saw season

6:20 pm

LeslieAnn

one

6:20 pm

speedfreak

Down to five....one that has me stumped is the re6/24 after the re5 you sow what you re____

6:20 pm

Krista

I have 172 left, and will be off and on the grid this evening...I'm up for a race.

6:20 pm

bonkler

the only big brother i ever saw had a surly one legged goof and featured a somewhat homoerotic massage that got nasty. i decided my time could be better spent lol

6:21 pm

StephieC

yw!. the se9 is what a bird consumes + what someone is at mealtime (it is a compound word)

6:21 pm

aknitter

abe there is no se 8 the se 9 is what birds like to do

6:21 pm

helenkeller

i, on the other hand, really love most reality shows - i've come to the realization that for me, they are like horror movies (which i NEVER watch, cause i like to sleep at night!)

6:21 pm

Cat9x

I missed season One also, so have no idea what kind of person or player he is.

6:21 pm

FranMag

abe, it's an se9, compound word, starts with the se4/5 that plants grow from and its what birds and small rodents are

6:21 pm

LeslieAnn

speed, past tense of that one?

6:21 pm

Cat9x

LOL Bonkler!

6:21 pm

helenkeller

oh leslie ann - please don't! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE don't - we don't need that kind of representation - he's so annoying

6:22 pm

StephieC

6:22 pm

helenkeller

6:22 pm

6:23 pm

6:23 pm

Jen34

oops, I mean one who makes warm again

6:23 pm

speedfreak

Now the other 4 are all t's what fun

6:23 pm

Cat9x

Howie canbe odd, but he makes me laugh, so I want him back! :)

6:24 pm

Jen34

6:24 pm

Cat9x

Oh yes, Dr Evil too! :)

6:46 pm

jess is cool l

why not

6:46 pm

nrkii

ask for clues jess, that we can help you with

6:46 pm

FranMag

we only give clues jess and there are a whole bunch going up all the time

6:47 pm

jess is cool l

why do you only give clues

6:47 pm

FranMag

yw aknitter!

6:48 pm

jaianniah

Because if we gave out the words, it wouldn't be a PUZZLE to PUZZLE you!

6:48 pm

jess is cool l

well?? franmag

6:48 pm

FranMag

jess, because giving words in the chat is not what the game is about, most of us enjoy trying to figure out what the words are on our own

6:48 pm

debbinla

lol - hi jai!!!

6:48 pm

Minveryork

jess,if you're new then you can read the rules at the going to one of the links down below.It's more fun to try to guess the word by using the clues in this log.

6:48 pm

jess is cool l

soo . .just 1 word

6:48 pm

helenkeller

jai - there you are! i was looking for you yesterday - but i don't think we were on at the same time

6:49 pm

nrkii

jess isn't new though, so jess already knows all this I think...

6:49 pm

debbinla

jai last night after the flip there was a big conversation which was a lovefest for you and your clues

6:49 pm

FranMag

nrk, do we still have some of that product in stock?

6:49 pm

jaianniah

try figuring OUT the words from our little clues, jess...

6:49 pm

FranMag

hi jai!!

6:49 pm

jess is cool l

omg do you guys go on this every day

6:49 pm

nrkii

fran, was just thinking about that

6:49 pm

Yoink

here's one for you jess is cool, ch5/14, what you are trying to be

6:49 pm

jaianniah

Oh? <teary-eyed> Oh!

6:49 pm

Krista

here's one word...NO...ark ark

6:50 pm

FranMag

lol krista!

6:50 pm

Minveryork

Good clue Yoink!I did not see that in the grid before!

6:50 pm

helenkeller

jai - when you left the other night, i was left with the impression that your feelings were hurt because of what someone said to you - so i wanted to tell you a couple of things -

6:50 pm

jess is cool l

what the hell, you guys and your jimerish

6:50 pm

jess is cool l

jiberish**

6:50 pm

helenkeller

we love having you here!!! you are an awesome clue giver & a great deal of fun!!!

6:51 pm

Yoink

lol, yw Minveryork

6:51 pm

FranMag

i second what helen said jai!!

6:51 pm

Rae

I get the clues...I SERIOUSLY just started today...this isn't hard anyway, just frustratin'. Just guess and check!

6:51 pm

Krista

gibberish

6:51 pm

debbinla

and i'll keep chiming in agreeing

6:51 pm

bonkler

i gibber therefore i am

6:52 pm

nrkii

ditto!

6:52 pm

Yoink

and hi all

6:52 pm

Krista

Welcome, Rae!

6:52 pm

FranMag

that's exactly how it works rae! then pretty soon you recognize more and more words.

6:52 pm

helenkeller

you shouldn't take to heart what people say - some people do not have very good social skills - i doubt they are even aware of how hurtful they can be - you are not the first person that has felt insulted by what 'she who shall reamin nameless' said

6:52 pm

Yoink

lees

6:52 pm

jaianniah

my feelings weren't hurt....I was very tired- and my computer crashed. I lost ALL of my words and had to do the puzzle TWICE in one day...I was so upset and tired...but I wasn't mad at anyone, just the system for crashing on me....Does that help?

6:52 pm

FranMag

hi yoink!

6:52 pm

Yoink

damn

6:52 pm

debbinla

hi yoink

6:52 pm

Minveryork

Jess, I'm sad to say I am adicted to this game and do it every single day!I have no life! It is really fun once you get into it.How long have you been playing, Jess?

6:52 pm

bonkler

patt

6:52 pm

jess is cool l

oh my god you guys are like babble nerds

6:52 pm

bonkler

oops

6:53 pm

debbinla

i'm proud to say i'm a babble nerd - hehe

6:53 pm

Uneaixoise

yes we are, and quite proud of it! :-)

6:53 pm

Yoink

omg you are obviously cool then, spamming nerds

6:53 pm

jess is cool l

how can you be proud of being on a computer all day figuring out a stupid puzzle

6:54 pm

jaianniah

Yes, it is true that the person you mention does NOT like me and took me to task for my clues! But I asked Dr_God about what was acceptable, and she said we could run our clues how we wanted, as long as we didn't give out words...which made me feel better....

6:54 pm

helenkeller

ok jai, but you did refer to someone & i just wanted to let you know that you're not alone in that boat - i've heard other people say they leave when she comes on

6:54 pm

jess is cool l

there is a dr god

6:55 pm

Rae

doctor?

6:55 pm

jess is cool l

yeh

6:55 pm

Yoink

Jai, I know we've not met but I have used a lot of your clues recently while I lurked, none of it ever seemed to cross the line

6:55 pm

bonkler

jess, babble is a relaxing pastime for the literate. i spend my time doing things that you'd neeer imagine. this is only one small part of my life. it is brain exercise. i have a very good brain, i intend to keep it that way. perhaps you'll grow into such notions.

6:56 pm

jaianniah

Yes, the Creator of this game...is Dr_God.....and I have emailed her a bit whenever I had a question about "crossing the line".

6:56 pm

LeslieAnn

plus, most of the time jai has a lampshade on her head, being the life of the party and all

6:56 pm

Yoink

watch me weep buckets as people disapprove of me playing babble

6:56 pm

helenkeller

i don't think you have given ANYONE any reason to not like you - though, i suspect there may be a slight bit of jealously involved - because, as i said before, you ARE an awesome clue giver & alot of people look to you for help - some people just like to be the best at everything & resent their 'turf' being stepped on - at least that's what i think may have been going on

6:57 pm

Jacula

Erm, Jai , Dr_God's a he.

6:57 pm

libarebel

was out-- yes, welcome back, jaih w/ your awsome clues! :-D

6:57 pm

hetty

This babble nerd nowm has 23 words left to find

6:57 pm

Yoink

jai, I was going to say that too

6:57 pm

Uneaixoise

great icon, jac!

6:57 pm

jess is cool l

ha ah ha thats funny . . .how old are you anyway?

6:57 pm

LeslieAnn

now i am curious... what day are we talking about?

6:57 pm

jaianniah

I think so....and diff ideas about what this game is all about...which for me is....having fun and trying to figure out when the heck I'd EVER use the word "unthink"...LOL

6:57 pm

FranMag

go nerdy....i mean hetty!!! :-)

I wish I can say that I am a Babble nerd, but I do not know enough words yet to be considered a nerd. I'm just a Babble idiot! I am hoping to reach Babble nerd status some day though! Jess,why do you play if you think this game is stupid? Try playing something you like!You can try Boggle or Soduku or any other game.

6:58 pm

I have a cute story about that pa 5: when my boys were little, we liked to watch videotapes (didn't have cable and this was before the PVR/TiVo stuff). They were accustomed to being able to pa 5 when they wanted to take a break. For YEARS we have continued to say: "Pa5 the story" when we need to put our attention elsewhere... this includes outside play, TV/movies/ books...

9:41 pm

9:46 pm

9:46 pm

9:46 pm

Mollusk, there are two lists, one at Babbler's Anonymous, and one at Lickety's Clues, both have links in the "friends of babble" section at the bottom of the page

9:47 pm

9:47 pm

featherbee

second pe 5/12?

9:47 pm

stidmama

it's going to be HOT down there andy!

9:47 pm

Anniebrook

feather, did you finish your painting today?

9:47 pm

andy12489

business stid

9:48 pm

andy12489

"vacation at home" is work 7/24

9:48 pm

featherbee

99% of it...at least the first coat

9:48 pm

andy12489

but no complaints - bable is my only fun right now lol

9:48 pm

featherbee

i did the hall, entry, and living room. decided at 9:30 that it wasn't a good time to start the small dining room

9:48 pm

Dorens

i can't find the first le4/5, and I know i'm going tofeel foolish when someone helps me

9:48 pm

Anniebrook

good for you, feather!

9:48 pm

stidmama

ah, of course. I remember your family is in Europe at the moment... thought maybe you'd be getting to rest a little more!

9:49 pm

andy12489

I wish but it is OK - it my choice after all

9:49 pm

stidmama

Dorens, I must admire your ferns... We have many here that occur naturally, but none quite like your icon. It's lovely.

9:49 pm

featherbee

and this was just the ceiling. still need to wash the sooty (cheap candles) walls, and paint the walls.

9:49 pm

StephieC

le + abb. for some time

9:49 pm

Dorens

thank you...i have lots of different types here and love them

9:50 pm

featherbee

hmm, do they *really* need to be washed first??? *sigh*...probably

9:50 pm

stidmama

well andy, as long as you "mostly" enjoy and feel rewarded by your employment, that is what matters. I am trying to teach the kids to look for a career that will energize them instead of doing what I foolishly did and studying for a career that didn't suit me at all.

9:50 pm

Anniebrook

feather, that's a big job but if you tackle that the way we tackle babble you will finish with flying colors

9:50 pm

Dorens

thanks Stephie, but i still don't get it...

9:51 pm

Mollusk

yeah, you definitely have to love what you do for your living

9:51 pm

StephieC

first se5/12?

9:51 pm

featherbee

i hope so annie! my personal deadline is july 8th, because i'm hosting bunco here then

9:51 pm

StephieC

le + abbreviation for 60 minutes

9:51 pm

stidmama

feather, you might consider washing the walls tomorrow and waiting to finish the ceiling for a few days. It would let your muscles rest from the "head back" of ceiling work and still move you along in your project. (not that my opinion was asked for)

9:51 pm

Dorens

jewish dinner at passover

9:51 pm

Mollusk

my job was the last thing I wanted to do... now it's the last thing I'll ever give up!

9:51 pm

andy12489

well stid this can be a long discussion - I spent 12 years in "corp world"ast three of them in the Valley and while I never made more money I was never more miserable

9:51 pm

StephieC

I don't know what a Jewish dinner is?!

9:52 pm

andy12489

and so post 9/11 and a layoff from S&P500 corp I struck it on my own

9:52 pm

featherbee

no, that's a good idea stid! however, i have doug here tomorrow, and then the rest of the week i'm on my own, so i've already roped him into doing the rolling if i do the cutting in. he HATES to paint, what a good sport.

9:52 pm

Anniebrook

steph, it is the dinner that is eaten at Passover

9:52 pm

Dorens

at passover, we have a ceremonial dinner called a se***

9:53 pm

Dorens

se + the first three letters of a whirling +++vish

9:53 pm

featherbee

oh, did anyone clue the second pe 5/12 for me? i wasn't paying attention

9:53 pm

stidmama

yes, that is what I am talking about. It took the post-partum problems to take me out of the office and career mindset; and a few years of looking around for what I CAN still do to discover my talents have been calling all these years.

9:54 pm

StephieC

well, i've learned something tonight. thanks.

9:54 pm

andy12489

well I am happy to share my thoughts anytime on/off line

9:54 pm

StephieC

pe5/12 sounds like what a woman carries.

9:55 pm

stidmama

I am not making any money yet, but am growing in confidence and skill... striking out on my own, as you put it andy, seems scary to me, but fortunately we are used to living on just one income so there is no scary push.

9:55 pm

StephieC

what is the pe5/12 after that one?

9:55 pm

featherbee

right above that one stephie?

9:55 pm

StephieC

I guess that we are looking for the same one!

9:55 pm

andy12489

good for you - hope your revenue stream picks up

9:57 pm

melonheadjujube

hi, if i can jump into the discussion. i majored in music, always had a "day job" - mostly in computer programming. in my best year i made about 1/3 of my income in music. i am so happy that i studied what i loved. i knew when i was 12 that all i wanted was to play in an orchestra - and i got to be what i wanted to be when i grew up - if only part time. it is one of the happiest facts of my life - that & my kids. my advice - study what you love.

melonhead, that is so cool that you continued to include your passion in your life, and that you get to perform! I hope our children will continue as you have, and be able to at least spend some of their time doing what they love. Music has always been a part of my life -- and so has art. They are my true passions... alongside the kids and the garden of course!
