12:29 am

stidmama

no, the condition for giving him shelter tonight was that I put up signs (already done) and I will take him to the vet in the morning to see if they recognize him.

12:30 am

stidmama

oh -- good idea, helen! the vet was already closed when I found him, but I can take him first thing in the morning!

When I got home, and he saw our two dogs (a puddle-mutt and the german shepherd), he jumped up and got onto my shoulders like a cat! Now he's feisty as all get out, and keeps asking Lucky to play...

12:34 am

helenkeller

stid - was he just roaming around?

12:35 am

stidmama

in the middle of the road leading out to the main road, running his little heart out. He didn't belong there -- there are HUGE logging and dump trucks that live on these streets.

12:36 am

helenkeller

lucky - lucky dog - it's funny you already have one lucky, now you have 2, :)

12:36 am

stidmama

LOL -- yes, fortunately, this one is temporary... though cute he really takes more energy than even the shepherd!

2:49 am

matty, douglas is not responding to our request, he tends to spout random cl4s as he finds words

2:49 am

mattygroves

Oooh....

maybe it's a borg thing...

2:50 am

Haz1558

And your clues can be helpful, Douglas. We all have our individual ways of cluing.

2:50 am

FMitch

The Swiss city/lake is the lu7/36, kock off the last letter for the 6/24 and just use the 1st 4 letters for the lu4/6 - and that concludes the lu's

2:50 am

Douglas

all of the above, some of the above...

2:50 am

mattygroves

You said a woooord Haz!

jillibus

matty - today's theme is Icons of Mystery but I haven't looked for one yet -- I'm still remembering Treacle Toffee from childhood (yesterday's theme)

2:53 am

mattygroves

Another phantom - peach. Icons of Mystery? What's that when it's at home?

2:53 am

Douglas

clarified butter...I'm hungry for some tandoori chicken!

2:53 am

hurshy

2:54 am

jillibus

whooooo knowsss, matty!

2:54 am

mattygroves

Does your favourite PA word mean minion?

2:54 am

Haz1558

No, it means a hymn of praise

2:54 am

jillibus

thanks again, douglas

2:55 am

mattygroves

Oh yes. I'm thinking of another word. Or I'm going crazy. Both are possible.

2:55 am

Douglas

yw, jilibus

2:55 am

Douglas

the hymn of praise word was in either yesterday's grid, or the day before that...I'm not quite sure

2:56 am

jillibus

love that exploding church official, Haz!

2:56 am

Haz1558

I think it was two days ago, Douglas.

good morning everyone! 11 left and I am truly stuck. Think I'll leave those for tonight and then probably have to resort to lickety's list. I hate vowels!

5:27 am

Eva

and the stupid thing doesn't know that ancho is a kind of chile pepper!

5:27 am

cliffopa

i remember when i used to think a small grid would be easier. hah!

5:28 am

Eva

Hey there Cliff! Long time no see. How are you? How is your friend?

5:29 am

Eva

Merp ate a deer fly in the garden the other day (I had him out on his harness). I was so proud of him!

5:30 am

Eva

I know-my life is terribly eventful!

5:30 am

cliffopa

my friend is still hanging in there. some of his friends have arranged a concert with several area bands in his honor for Aug. 12th.

5:31 am

cliffopa

yay merp. one less deer fly!

5:31 am

Eva

Amazing! Will you have some sort of live feed to his room so that he can "be" at the concert too?

5:32 am

cliffopa

he lives in a home on a big piece of land - the concert will be staged in a field in back of his house.

5:32 am

Eva

I'm stil missing 2 6's. I have lu6/24. Anyone know what the others are

5:33 am

Eva

That's wonderful. I didn't realize that he was at home.

5:33 am

MG12

hey guys can i have some help with lu6/24?

5:34 am

Eva

MG-it's a lake in Switzerland, minus the final vowel, but put the vowel back on for the 7. Don't know what it isn't a proper noun, but it isn't

5:34 am

cliffopa

since there is nothing they can do for him at the hospital anymore, he wants to spend whatever time he has left in the comfort (and privacy) of his own home.

5:34 am

lynxxx

its a type of hay MG

5:37 am

Eva

it's great that he can manage that! When my mother-in-law was dying she was able to stay in her own apartment, and the hospice people in Boulder were unbelievable....both in taking care of her and in taking care of us, and helping to guide us through the voyage with as little fear and confusioin as possible. They brought in a massage therapist, offered a music therapist, were so incredibly respectful and calming. She died with 3 generations around her bed, in peace and dignity and without all kinds of unecessary medical intrusions.

5:42 am

cliffopa

that must have made things so much easier on all of you eva.

5:42 am

Eva

okay-resorted to the list. Got the ni6, but can't figure out the ch6. Anyhints?

5:44 am

Eva

got the pesky thing!

5:45 am

ExWren

Well, that's another one to hit the dust. I do like the smaller grids, which gives me time to do other things, especially in this nice weather we are having at the moment. It is unusual for us Brits, so we need to make the most of it!

5:45 am

Eva

congrats wren! So the heat wave has broken there?

5:47 am

ExWren

It's not as intent as it was, but still close. Haven't resorted to the thermals just yet!

many of which are uncommon or obscure.

5:58 am

FMitch

LOL cliffopa, it's definately not as fast as the 44 we had the other day but still fun, babble words allowing.

6:00 am

cliffopa

i agree it is still fun. babble is always fun. except when the grid is 400+ words - then it is just plain exhausting!

6:00 am

6:10 am

FranMag

sorry, jilli's cl4!!

6:10 am

it's actually a raspy sound made by air having a hard time getting through those tubes.

FMitch

Kenny, think of a veg that when you peel it makes you cry, just change the 1st letter

6:26 am

6:58 am

FranMag

peri, the others are rh7/40 and lu7/36.

6:59 am

FranMag

i messed up the triplet pretty badly!

7:00 am

FranMag

peri, it's also a type of alfalfa apparently.

7:00 am

FMitch

7:00 am

amandacath

7:00 am

FranMag

7:00 am

philod14

Thanks Fran

7:01 am

FranMag

yw philod

7:01 am

Either of you could be right!

7:01 am

FranMag

i think fmitch's explanation makes more sense! :-)

7:01 am

sprite

Or you could both be right! :)

7:01 am

KittyVane

I say it's the heat making them breed, it's so gosh darn hot here!

7:02 am

FMitch

7:24 am

Charm

7:25 am

featherbee

ch6/30 please?

7:25 am

amandacath

"Nor spell nor charm, Come our lovely lady n4/7; So, good night, with lullaby. Weaving spiders, come not here; H5/14, you long-legg'd spinners, h5/14!"

Guessing game time!

7:26 am

amandacath

I couldn't find one with a4/4 in it - that would have been perfect!

7:27 am

EvaNadine

CH6 -- first part sounds like C*** tea...second part sounds like "to leave" with an extra vowel on the end

7:27 am

featherbee

7:30 am

mattygroves

Why is it that sometimes the most obvious words are the toughest to get - I just spent ages looking for the sweet ho5/16 (trying g, c all sorts of letters) before finally stumbling on the obvious.

7:30 am

EvaNadine

20 left to go...i think its breakfast time!!

7:31 am

amandacath

I think that happened to the majority of us, matty

7:31 am

Praes

i'm right there with you matty, the other day on the 49 grid, i got smacked by a fish a lot....

7:32 am

FMitch

that is the bane and the perverse fun of babble I guess

7:32 am

Charm

ch7 please?

7:33 am

sandr

ch7 = facial feature + number

7:33 am

Charm

thanks, sandr - I monkeyed that without the final vowel, no luck of course!

7:33 am

sandr

i have 3 7's am i missing any?

7:33 am

FMitch

There may not be any volcanoes today but there is the voice that comes back and the other classic the Hawaiian goose (ne4)

7:34 am

featherbee

lu6/24 please?

7:34 am

mattygroves

got the goose!! No noone, though - strange...

7:35 am

amandacath

that goose just will not stick in my head - it's always one of my last ones

7:35 am

sandr

lu = switzerland

7:35 am

FMitch

just double up on the letters amanda

7:35 am

sandr

sorry meant to type town in swiss

7:36 am

amandacath

lu7 - last letter

7:36 am

amandacath

(that is supposed to be "minus")

7:36 am

featherbee

lol, amanda if i had the lu7 i'd be golden!

7:36 am

sandr

7:37 am

7:38 am

featherbee

7:38 am

FMitch

sandr, keep going, great job!!

7:38 am

Thanks abe! I'll bet you do - if I go too long without it I get thoroughly batty! One piece of info - I will be a "non-traditional student" (I hate that phrase), which will almost certainly limit the programs that would take me

8:05 am

abe79

amanda- by "non trad'l" do you mean 1) part-time 2) didn't do undergrad theatre?

abe79

the people i know in the mfa programs had all taken time off to do other things (like live, work, etc). i think many of these programs like a diverse group

AT OU traditional v. non traditional is determined on the # of hours you are taking. Not on your age.

i think the only jobs that are more hours than theatre are 1) parents 2) young doctors 3) lawyers

8:11 am

musicmom

LOL Amanda - I was trying to avoid "old"

That's reassuring, abe. I keep telling myself they need people to play mothers, crazy aunts, aging actresses - whatever...

Now he has Parkinson's disease and is taking disability retirement.

12:20 pm

thank you, torgone. babble injustice just hurts

12:22 pm

true, walnut. anything with a fork is pretty much ok, anything you eat with your hands is pretty much not.

12:23 pm

seano216k

hi all, i think maost babblers tried 'hench' today, all those hench men feeling very left out at the mo

12:23 pm

walnutchen

thats what I use those monitor wipes for (we got tons of those at work). they clean the keyboards better than the screen.

12:24 pm

torgone

But, you're reeeeally close to your he5, smaller ..

12:24 pm

TheFiz

*heads to supply closet to check for monitor wipes*

12:24 pm

smaller

it's not prudent to tick off hench men. babble should allow it....for babble's own safety

12:25 pm

seano216k

then again if just one hench man leaves to find more gainful employment, their exlusion has been worth it

12:25 pm

torgone

reeeeeEelly close . . .
Or did you get it already?

12:25 pm

12:26 pm

TheFiz

Yay! Fireworks! Take that, little grid - and still 5 mins to actually eat!

12:26 pm

no dear torgone, i did not. i think i'm pouting about hench. and thus ignorance blossoms. blind ignorance. can't see it. tried heech. nopey on that one too

parsec

Hmm, I'll have to work on it. Thanks =)

lbdawger

5:09 pm

lbdawger

Majmon, the rh is a lung sound by def; but think about what dirty movies are often called; similar to ranchy

5:10 pm

ch1212

ch 6/30 = sand flea but not the spelling with TWO g's

5:10 pm

majmom

TY ibdawqer-never would have got it

Nef

I was here about 2 hours ago; then went downstairs and was hammering together a shelf; this time the words just popped out . I've decided that a break helps when you don't see anything

5:16 pm

ch1212

ch7 = ch + vowel + nothing, nada

5:16 pm

Flask1

ok...one rhymes with raunchy

5:16 pm

ch1212

lu7 = Swiss town, brand of milk or just put a vowel on the end of your lu6

5:17 pm

bech0057

5:28 pm

Nef

5:28 pm

Nef

5:37 pm

Flask1

well it must be in Enable!#

5:38 pm

Nef

lots of these words here seem made up to me; even the reference dictionary doesn't always have them

5:38 pm

Nef

and then it doesn't have other words that we all *KNOW* are words (like AFRO!)

5:38 pm

jbp

yep

5:39 pm

Flask1

thats partly why I never finished yester.....typing in words that weren't allowed......!!

5:39 pm

jbp

5:40 pm

RocDragon

sounds bouncing off the walls

5:40 pm

jillibus

and other words we KNOW are words (like INTERNET!!!)

5:40 pm

jbp

thanks Roc...I would swear that I typed that in already

5:40 pm

Nef

it's a repeating thing "little sir e*** how do you do, hello, hello"

5:40 pm

Flask1

Exactly!

5:41 pm

Nef

Hi Jilli

5:41 pm

Flask1

there are 5 E words

5:44 pm

brandyjack

pounding them down... just cleared the e's...

5:44 pm

Nef

its a fencing sword; but the word looks like a bodily function with an "E" in front

5:44 pm

jbp

ah the sword word

5:44 pm

jbp

thanks

5:44 pm

Flask1

are you working from top to bottom?

5:44 pm

jbp

nef & Rock

5:44 pm

jbp

I'm working willy nilly, personally

5:45 pm

Nef

Flask, do you work in a neat and tidy orderly way? I go willy nilly myself

5:45 pm

brandyjack

i work on whatever someone asks about usually.....

5:46 pm

jbp

i need one more A word... zits, long time, soon, mimicer are what I have already

5:46 pm

Flask1

I try to.....I always print off Bj's list...and that helps me a lot....cos' I get so confunsed at times!

5:47 pm

RocDragon

5:47 pm

brandyjack

it's an an5/10 that you're missing (me too).....

5:47 pm

Flask1

pungient veg...change first letter!

5:47 pm

Nef

it rhymes with the layered veggie

5:48 pm

jbp

a charged particle, thanks brandy, flask and nef

5:48 pm

Flask1

O**** Johnny goes on his bike selling them....lol

5:49 pm

Nef

Roc had it right too

5:49 pm

brandyjack

ya, got the charged gas while looking for it. easy word to find in the other puzzles it's been in, but this one is just plain confusing......

5:49 pm

jbp

i could use some C words...I'll share what I have: Xmas red&White curvy candy, injun boat, fire away, where the beard grows, pants, idea

5:49 pm

Flask1

got it now then, bj??

5:50 pm

jbp

or what Sherlock follows

5:50 pm

Nef

very true Brandy; this one looks like it's made up of a bunch of rejected puzzle letters

5:50 pm

jbp

i agree Nef

5:50 pm

brandyjack

wiht the veggie cl4/6 was glaringly obvious again......

5:50 pm

Flask1

Oh its an odd mixture!!

5:50 pm

Nef

Cheech and Ch**

5:51 pm

Nef

(oops! Did my age just show?)

5:51 pm

jbp

got the stoner one

5:51 pm

jbp

5:51 pm

jbp

lol nef

5:52 pm

Nef

there are 5 ch words with the first 4 letters the same

5:52 pm

Nef

does that help?

5:52 pm

jbp

ah, like the fabric crepe de ch+++

5:53 pm

Nef

that's part of the 5 I just mentioned

5:53 pm

jbp

yep. so I need 2 more CH words

5:54 pm

Nef

do you have the ch 6/30 and the ch 7/36?

5:54 pm

jbp

one's a country full of dishes

5:54 pm

jbp

no and ...uh...no

5:54 pm

Flask1

good clue....lol

5:55 pm

jbp

gladja liked it Flask

5:55 pm

brandyjack

that ch6/30 was miserable..... quite easy to find, but only if you know it's a real word to begin with....

5:55 pm

Flask1

It made me smile.....:)

5:55 pm

jbp

uh, can I get a different clue than that Brandy?

5:55 pm

RocDragon

ch6/30: take a major city in illinois, remove the middle 'ca', and add a vowel to the end.

5:56 pm

Flask1

still peculiar Bj!

5:56 pm

Nef

there is a little flea that is spelt like the big city in Illinois on Lake Michigan except leave out the "ca" in the middle and add a vowel on the end

5:56 pm

jbp

that is SO a made up word, Rock

5:57 pm

Nef

Roc, you are FAST! :)

5:57 pm

RocDragon

i type fast. i play tangleword.

5:57 pm

jbp

how about let chigones be chigones?

5:57 pm

jbp

ah, I slay me

5:57 pm

Nef

supposedly it's a chigger or sand flea according to the dictionary

5:58 pm

Flask1

I'll brb!

5:58 pm

Nef

LOL jbp! :D

5:58 pm

RocDragon

sand flea? is that a racial slur?

5:58 pm

jbp

ok, need to get some din. bbl. thanks to all!!

5:59 pm

Nef

Racial slur for what Roc?

5:59 pm

IronPixie

how about some clues for the top 'c' words please?

5:59 pm

RocDragon

a cross between a chi.. and a ..gger?

6:00 pm

brandyjack

pick something that you know isn't possible a word and type it in..... the ce and cl5 are ridiculous....

6:00 pm

Nef

Roc, I'm old but I've never heard that one before.

6:01 pm

RocDragon

i'm probably just being too sensitive.

6:01 pm

Nef

the ce and cl both rhyme with the French pancake

6:01 pm

IronPixie

thank you!

6:03 pm

Nef

I've been bitten by chiggers before; they are little tiny fleas that live in sand ("sand fleas") and they get under swim suits and bite like crazy! You itch for days afterwards!

6:04 pm

Nef

Ironpix, did you need more hints?

6:05 pm

IronPixie

im stuck on the 'n' in the 4th column..

6:05 pm

Nef

if no one needs hints; I'll go fix supper for my hubby

6:06 pm

Nef

Have you got any N words yet?

6:06 pm

Miss ABS

Any hints on the P in the top row?

6:06 pm

IronPixie

got the one that rhymes with sigh

6:06 pm

caromil

I'm new - I have 278 score with 35 words - how does that rate?

6:06 pm

Nef

all of the P words are from the top row, Miss

6:07 pm

Nef

Iron, put that one in past tense too

6:07 pm

brandyjack

well you'ge to the pa5 song of praise by the pa5 peasant....

6:08 pm

IronPixie

ah! thank you!

6:08 pm

Miss ABS

Yeah, I just noticed that LOL. It's still early here

6:08 pm

RocDragon

recent jack black movie ----- libre

6:09 pm

Nef

then there is a Scottish term for turnips , and the tongue of a cart

6:09 pm

Miss ABS

Thanks, getting them slowly but surely.

6:10 pm

Nef

Caromil, that's pretty good on this grid! Keep on plugging along! :D

6:11 pm

caromil

thanks for the encouragement - made it to 297

6:13 pm

Nef

ask if you need help Caromil; the best place to learn about how the hints are given etc. is to check out some of the Friends of babble listed down on the bottom of the page on the left there. I like both Licketys babble clues and Angelsongs page

6:13 pm

IronPixie

im stuck on the seven letter ch word

6:14 pm

Nef

(Heee! Hubby decided on a very easy supper! I don't have to cook!) :D

6:14 pm

brandyjack

add 'any' to the fabric.....

6:15 pm

Nef

Iron, it doesn't make sense when you look at it. take the part of your face where whiskers grow and add the first number to it (when counting from *** to ten)

6:16 pm

IronPixie

lol, i got it. these are some obscure words

6:16 pm

Nef

That's the truth!

6:17 pm

brandyjack

i swear the jokers on the ENABLE committee were groused at missing the casino's so they just shot craps with the scrabble tiles instead....

6:17 pm

He and his family, which by the time of our story, numbered five members, lived on the other side of the mountain, half a day's journey away. So obviously, they couldn't visit as often as everyone would have liked.

7:31 pm

mamabear

7:31 pm

TheFiz

obviously...

7:31 pm

mamabear

In some places, the path was wide and easy and two large carts could pass each other easily. In other places, it was so narrow their small cart could barely get through.

7:32 pm

CobraLimes

Yippee! Thanks all.

Cathyar

There were dips and rises, as there often are, on circuitous mountain lanes.

7:33 pm

stidmama

YAY Cobra!

7:34 pm

stidmama

And every so often a bridge -- this one of stone, this one of wood, crossed a narrow canyon in which tumbled a waterfall.

7:34 pm

CobraLimes

Thanks for the offer, but I'm off on the hog momentarily. Enjoy!

7:34 pm

TheFiz

*gets out fuzzy blanket b/c babble land is not hot and humid...*

7:34 pm

stidmama

About halfway on their journey, there was a wide spot on the far side of the bridge, in the shade of a great spreading tree.

7:35 pm

lbdawger

later cobra

7:35 pm

stidmama

Here, spring, summer, autumn and winter, the eldest son and his family would shelter while they ate their meal, and rest.

7:35 pm

Jen

Thanks MAMA!

7:35 pm

TheFiz

bye cobra

7:35 pm

stidmama

On hot days, the tree made a comfortable, cool shade.

On cool days, the tree provided a baffle so the wind passed around their picnic spot.

7:36 pm

phandmd

n + on 4/5

7:36 pm

TheFiz

n+on4 meaning a single time

7:36 pm

7:38 pm

jmsmo93

7:38 pm

Cathyar

7:38 pm

stidmama

7:38 pm

TheFiz

*holds open fuzzy blanke to jms*

7:38 pm

stidmama

And it was here, that not long after, they had plighted their troth one to the other.

7:39 pm

stidmama

So now, they brought their own children, often meeting up with other families in the shelter of the tree, which was never too small for any number who wanted to rest by the gushing creek.

7:39 pm

Cathyar

plighted? meaning pledge i think

7:39 pm

Cathyar

(sorry)

7:40 pm

On this journey, the man and his wife, their eldest child and middle child walked, while the baby slept contentedly in a basket in the middle of the cart, swaying -- and occasionally bumping -- in rhythm to the cart.

7:40 pm

Cathyar

*blanket*

7:40 pm

Frances

Even blanket!

7:41 pm

7:41 pm

stidmama

The eldest child, a young boy, eagerly raced ahead, just out of sight, and then waited for his family to reappear. He looked for all the world as if he had just received the best present ever.

7:41 pm

stidmama

Good night Jen, take care and visit more when you can!

7:42 pm

Anniebrook

The middle child, a girl just past toddling, walked carefully beside her father, holding his hand most of the time, but often stopping to look at a pretty pebble or talk to a bird in a briar.

Now, the family was not wealthy, though the man and his wife worked hard, but they were comfortable. They had a small house near the shop where the man crafted saddles and furniture out of a wood peculiar to their area.

7:44 pm

stidmama

This wood when, rubbed with sand, became soft like leather.

7:44 pm

jmsmo93

When rubbed with oil, the wood became hard as steel.

Unsurprisingly, the items made in this village (and one other, further out on the plain) were highly sought after, and brought good prices.

7:47 pm

jmsmo93

my dad made us move to new york caus he hated the blue skyes every day

7:47 pm

stidmama

Still, the people of the village were level-headed, and continued to make what they needed first, and then sold the rest. In this way, all the people benefitted from the wealth around them.

7:47 pm

yeah ... i will be moving sooner or later... i need more gloom in my life =)

Once a year, in the Autumn when it was too hot to work and the nights were not too short, the village held a festival and celebrated their good fortune.

7:48 pm

TheFiz

stid - where is this exactly so i can move there?

7:48 pm

Frances

We've just had the hottest July on record. This evening we had a storm but that just made it even steamier and we have water restrictions!!!

7:48 pm

stidmama

It was just after this festival that our family was traveling, bearing gifts to the man's mother and siblings.

Soon, the little boy's legs grew tired, and he stopped running ahead and walked steadily by his parents.

7:50 pm

jmsmo93

7:50 pm

Soon, the little girl's head nodded, and she fell slowly to one side...

7:50 pm

mamabear

ooooo.... poetry - I've got one!

7:51 pm

stidmama

to be caught by her mother's strong arms and set gently on blankets in the cart next to the baby.

7:51 pm

TheFiz

7:51 pm

mamabear

7:51 pm

The little boy climbed up and sat at the front of the cart, holding the ends of the reins -- of course his daddy held the working end.

As soft winds sweep away the days
I look back on life through a haze.
Remember playgrounds, parks and friends,
In childlike gaze that never ends.
The laughter in a game of catch,
Shall memory ever attach...
To innocence in youthful eyes,
Catching the ball to Dad's surprise.

I recall my first bike, first wreck,
Who picked me up, said, "What the heck?"
Convinced me to give one more try,
While, knees skinned, I forgot to cry.
Just the joy knowing he was there,
Making him proud my only care.
There was nothing I couldn't do,
My heart held fast that to be true.

Though teenage years were kind of rough,
I sure wasn't too big or tough.
You taught me to defend what's right
And never back down from a fight.
So I learned the hard way to stand,
Still, with each lump, I found your hand.
Drawing from you an inner strength,
And stubborn pride of equal length.

But there the line of fate was drawn,
As though I blinked and you were gone.
I found myself facing the sun,
Not man, not boy, fatherless, one.
Eyes blinded by a void inside,
I could not live that you had died.
Alas finding it to be true,
I could do nothing without you.

Please, Dad, today just hear my call,
I'm sorry that I dropped the ball.
My life is wrecked, my knees are skinned,
My emotions undisciplined.
I can't get up although I try,
Please don't be upset if I cry.
Though I can't fight what I can't see,
Please, Dad, say you're still proud of me.

And so, in silence and in quiet conversation, the man and his wife walked along. The little boy finally tired of his game and lay down next to his sister and watched the clouds and the birds and the trees and the rocks and he finally fell asleep also.

7:53 pm

7:55 pm

stidmama

Before long, the man and his wife looked down upon the village where he was born. He turned to her and smiled, "I believe we are home." She glanced at him and replied in soft tones.

7:55 pm

TheFiz

thanks - you're really quite talented, if this one example is any indication.

7:56 pm

stidmama

"I am glad we are here." She reached over and picked up the baby who had begun to fuss and soothed him with a gentle touch.

7:56 pm

stidmama

And the man and his family walked on.

7:56 pm

jmsmo93

7:58 pm

7:59 pm

stidmama

thanks book for the feedback! tell him he is very welcome, and I will keep writing as long as people want to read and listen.

7:59 pm

TheFiz

this part wasn't a big happening part - it's more of a scene-setting part. you missed some lovely words but you should be able to follow along.

7:59 pm

FranMag

hi stid!

7:59 pm

stidmama

So opinions asked for: do you want the background chatter included in the transcriptions or no? I would leave out the hints and such and keep it pegged to the storyline.

8:00 pm

TheFiz

Thanks stid! I was serious about the superpower - it's really amazing what you're able to come up with. And using words like "baffle", too!

8:00 pm

FranMag

was there an installment yesterday? and what time did it start?

8:00 pm

TheFiz

(see, i listened)

8:00 pm

stidmama

Fran, I didn't write yesterday because the grid was so big that people just didn't have time to enjoy it.

8:00 pm

Cathyar

8:00 pm

(you might want to try 1 stanza at a time, though)

8:02 pm

jmsmo93

Window panes come crashing down
Amidst the tears and pain
Vanishing hopes are gone and flew away
Up above through twilight
Shadows cast across the floor
Reflections of the past
Trembling thoughts of one
Dwelling deep within the soul
A mystical sense of reality
Captured by the craze
All in bewilderment
Of the shock in the wave
Creatures of the dimness
Chattering amongst the green
Everything slows in stillness
What is this we see?

8:02 pm

stidmama

later all!

I cannot speak for all who stem
'Long roads less traveled as their way,
Nor question choices made by them
In days long past or nights long dim
by words they spoke and did not say.

Each road is long, though short it seems,
And credence gives each road a name
Of fantasies sun-drenched in beams
Or choices turned to darkened dreams,
To where each road wends just the same.

From North to South, then back again,
I followed birds like all the rest
Escaping nature's snowy den
On roads I've seen and places been,
Forsaking roads that traveled West.

This journey grows now to its end,
As road reflections lined in chrome
Give way to roads with greater bend
And empty signs that still pretend
They point the way to home sweet home.

But all roads lead to where we go
And where we go is where we've been,
So home is just a word we know,
That space in time most apropos
For where we want to be again.

For even home, it seems to me,
Is still a choice we all must face
From day to day and endlessly,
To choose if home is going to be
Another road - or just a place.

In that forgotten part of town
Where wasted hopes and dreams abound,
A wrinkled man with life near end,
In hopes to have at least one friend,
Fashioned bits of wood and things
And made a dummy run by strings.

8:06 pm

jmsmo93

He sat alone for hours on end,
Conversing with his only friend
And found delight within the fact
That he controlled it's every act.
He told it how he never had
A chance, since all his luck was bad
Although he'd tried so to succeed -
The dummy nodded and agreed.

8:06 pm

TheFiz

(thx jms - much easier for me, anyway)

8:06 pm

jmsmo93

And how his journeys in romance
Had never given him a chance,
And wasn't it a crying shame
That he was always held to blame
When everyone knew, oh so well,
That life is but a living Hell,
Controlled by lust and power and greed?
The dummy nodded and agreed.

8:06 pm

(except it come out upside down. hmmm)

8:07 pm

Frances

You know that feeling â€“ on the heap
When all you want is earn your keep.
They see your age is over forty
Although you know youâ€™re fit and sporty
Past your prime? I think Iâ€™m in it.
I long for work, there is no limit.

I take advice and all suggestions
Even ask some awkward questions.
Then sit and wait to be rejected
It leaves me feeling so dejected.
I hate to feel Iâ€™m over the hill,
Itâ€™s becoming such a bitter pill.

Will nobody give me some work.
You have my promise not to shirk.
Iâ€™ve tried juggling all the balls.
Yes, Iâ€™ve even climbed the walls.
I think you know the feeling,
Now Iâ€™m dancing on the ceiling.

I even thought Iâ€™d work from home
And avoid the temptation of a loan.
Please help me back to lifeâ€™s team
To rediscover my self esteem.
Just help me to reach my goal
And get me off this wretched dole!

Iâ€™m so fed up with this nightmare.
Enough, enough, Iâ€™ve had my share.
So come on itâ€™s just too extreme
Help me try and live the dream.
To say at last I can relax
And boast â€œGuess what, Iâ€™m paying tax!â€

8:08 pm

jmsmo93

My guardian angel, once careless and free,
flew into the clouds and lost touch with me.
Her tears were cold and wet, falling on my face.
Her smile had left us without a trace.

Her angelic lips quivered, frozen and scared,
I felt rain clouds visiting, and had to prepare.
I knew that angels, often content,
were very special presents that God had sent.

To see one so sad,
so afraid,
so alone,
had made me weep while the cold winds had blown.

Her wings lost feathers,
comforting and soft,
falling from the stars,
floating aloft.

Her pain was felt throughout the land,
to feel true misery is impossible to stand.
I prayed so that when her hurting stops,
I'll be able to taste the angel's teardrops.

If only the world could see what I feel
then, would the world, know who I am
I've loved, lost and feared the world
for it is sometimes too much to bare

Control, power, is what I fear
for I am weak inside and full of pain
I shout and cry, but knowing
there is nobody there to hear me
I swallow the shame and anger
that lies beneath me

I am lost to reality and living in time
Though I am struggling through life
and all that it offers, I am only human
and that is what makes me . . . Me.

Still, I wish for the happiness and pleasure
that I have earned, but realize that, I have
not yet overcome the world's greatest challenge

Love! and how to accept it -
I am ready to face my fears

8:09 pm

aknitter

ha ha finally got the rhymes with raunchy

8:10 pm

thanks. not as good as rhymes with mucus from a few days ago, but certainly gives me an opportunity to act out a little.

8:10 pm

jmsmo93

As a son I lost a father,
As a father, a son -
If the choice was mine I'd rather
Had not lost either one.

I do not know where I come from
Or where I am to go.
True, this fate is less than some
And more than some can know.

My father, my son - you both I miss
But we shall meet someday
In the kingdom where angels kiss
To chase the clouds away.

8:12 pm

jmsmo93

When I look at your eyes, I see your true self.
I see you're sweet, and caring.
I see you're giving and forgiving.
I see your love for me.

When I look at your eyes I stop myself from crying
When I'm alone and think about your eyes I cry.
I can't stop thinking that one day I'll never see those eyes again
That I'll never see the love or the sweetness
Or the love that makes you who you are.
One day you'll be gone - gone from me.
Gone from this world.
No matter what happens, those eyes will one day close
And forever rest in peace.

But you'll never be completely gone,
Because every time I close my eyes,
There you will be.

Every new beginning,
comes from some some beginnings end.

Every time you kill me,
I am born again.

Every time you close that door,
Another door is opened.

And every time you say goodbye,
a different word is spoken.

Every time you look at me
my back is facing you,

And every time you ask to see me
I'll have something else to do.

Every time I join your game,
You're not playing fair,

And every time I really love you,
I pretend that I don't care.

Waiting
by Dawn D.
Wanting,
lusting,
to be held,
to be loved,
to feel warmth,
to feel your beating heart.
Wanting to be sheltered from the cold,
heartless winds.
Falling into invisible arms;
into an abyss of love.
Wishing,
hoping,
that my desires will be filled;
my desires of loving warmth.
Wanting to be held,
comforted,
loved.
Dreaming of passionate embraces,
of tender kisses,
loving words,
romantic nights.
Waiting for undying love.

speaking of poetry tonight, my bio is a poem this evening!

8:24 pm

jmsmo93

A lovely rose with petals soft
A scent so sweet and light
So beautiful a flower
With colors shining bright.
But something not so savory
About the fragrant rose -
The thorns, so sharp upon the stem,
That sharpen as it grows.
Yet still lovely is the flower
Despite the thorns that prick
Just as life and love are sweet
They too have thorns that stick.
But do not fear to live or love,
Life's not exempt from pain -
So pick a rose, you may get hurt,
But you will also gain!

8:24 pm

FranMag

that looke like fun wolfie! how is it?

jmsmo93

Standing on the outside,
looking in.
Afraid to knock
on the door in front of you.
How many times have
you stood at the threshold
but been too scared to cross?
What is it you fear?
The unknown lies ahead.
What awaits you on the other side?
Only one way to find out.
The door swings open,
Will you enter?

8:27 pm

GreyWoulf

mama - change the last vowel in the one you have

8:27 pm

8:31 pm

jfarber

an5: a kind of particle.

8:31 pm

mamabear

To Dream

To dream ... a phenomenon of the mind...
A divinely given gift from heaven - that which cannot be planned by man or manipulated in any way by human cause.
A means whereby there is escape - to enter, to explore, to experience, to see through the eyelids what the eye in daylight cannot.

8:31 pm

TheFiz

eva - charged particle that rhymes with a veggie that makes you cry

8:31 pm

renfield

eva - opposite of cation

8:31 pm

Cathyar

yay me -- and thanks all for for the hints to others, which I shamelessly utilized.

8:32 pm

mamabear

To fly, to soar above the clouds.
To free fall to the earth, never touching the ground.
To float naked atop the ocean's waves, absorbing the sun's rays and all its warmth to the very soul.
To walk barefoot on an unending beach of powdery sand, the only sound being the call of the seagull or gently rolling surf.
To enjoy a lasting embrace, a kiss that makes all existing nonexistent.
To sing and to dance on a stage surrounded by a field of musicians in perfect tune to a song with infinite chorus.
To climb up a rainbow and touch the sky, sliding gracefully down to where the color begins.

8:32 pm

TheFiz

renfield i know that too so i feel totall y comfortable saying you are a DORK.

8:32 pm

Cathyar

to dream is also to heal of daily trials

8:32 pm

To awaken refreshed, with the memory of experiences only allowed in the mind of the dreamer.
To cling to the hope only afforded in slumber.

To reflect through daylight and daydream what was enjoyed in the night, until the time once again when darkness returns, and we pray for the peace, the happiness, the escape that only sleep provides.

8:34 pm

jmsmo93

As childhood friends, we grew up together,
Swearing to be friends forever and ever.
Sometimes we would argue and fight,
Other times we would laugh and stay up all night.

We went from playing with games and toys,
To talking and dreaming about different boys.
My thoughts and feelings, to you I would confide,
Never having anything to hide.

Friends we do remain,
Things changing, and things staying the same.
To each other we still listen and share,
About each other, we will always care.

8:34 pm

TheFiz

From dawn to dusk
I think of thee,
As I feel your sweet spirit come over me.
A calming hand,
A warming heart,
You and I shall never part.

Follow me as I kneel to pray,
to thank you for my days of praise.

To you I owe,
my life I lend,
for in return I promise a friend.

hetty

Hullo, everyone, I'm looking in to share some sadness with you. I've just been watching--live on Canadian t.v., the Black Watch regiment's farewell to its fallen comrades. All soldiers' funerals are given national coverage in our country; the last 2 (of 20) to have fallen in Afgahnistan died just yesterday. It breaks my heart. Sadly, when i was in the States recently I was admonished by a man from Ohio who wanted to know why Canada had not supported President Bush in his fight for freedom. I answered as calmly as I could thay Canadian forces were in Kandahar as a peace-keeping force ( ironic term) and that many had already died there, some as a result of so-called friendly fire. But it matters not which country you represent. The terrible folly of war is unbearable. Thanks Mambear for your lovely heart-lifting poetry. Thank you all for your forbearance and goodwill.

8:47 pm

kristinc

hi GW, I'm hanging in there...good to be back to babble--most normal thing I've done in the last few weeks

8:47 pm

GreyWoulf

btw -- backtracking to {*ren*}, {*mama*}, {*Eva*}, {*Fran*}, and {*Everyone else*}

I'm glad you enjoyed it hetty. War is indeed a horrible thing.

8:49 pm

TheFiz

{{{{hetty}}}}} we don't get coverage of such things - if we did there wouldn't be anything else on - but i'm almost glad b/c my heart can't handle it. it's so important to bear witness to sacrifice, though.

8:49 pm

evanonut

hetty, my future sister in law returned from kuwait last weekend

8:49 pm

renfield

kris - been missing your gold lame' toes!

8:49 pm

FranMag

8:49 pm

kristinc

lol Ren :) good to have my toes missed I suppose

8:49 pm

lbdawger

Hetty, i'm glad you told that man the other side of the border story. Some Americans are rather jaded and oft times monocular in seeing what the rest of the world is doing. I'm sorry for the loss of all our troops in this middle eastern war

8:49 pm

Anniebrook

hetty, this war never should have been. just terrible!

8:50 pm

hi, all...someone, please do me a favor. go to the Resource Guide, and see if you can open the icons calendar using the link in the pull down menu at the top of the main page. Someone has mentioned having an error trying to load it, and it does work fine for me.

8:52 pm

8:59 pm

8:59 pm

8:59 pm

renfield

evanonut

gotta make sure i choose an appropriate image.

9:00 pm

Frances

Tiny
Got that one. Can I please have one I haven't got!

9:00 pm

FranMag

i had DSL for a while woulf, the difference was there were no slow-downs during peak hours like with cable sometimes, but DSL is slightly slower.

9:00 pm

Tiny

Where we are situated we can only get cable internet so it has to be cable

9:00 pm

renfield

9:02 pm

9:02 pm

FranMag
