11:33 am

ddb4nana

Think I'll just watch the fireworks for a while...

11:33 am

stidmama

em 4/6 means "pertaining to or being a significant unit that functions in contrast with other units in a language or other system of behavior"

11:33 am

stidmama

YAY ddb! did you get your "pro" stuff sorted out yet?

11:33 am

11:46 am

mymuseisme

Central Florida needed the rain anyway, their reservoirs were supposedly down

11:47 am

firefly779

Babbler_2006@yahoo.co.uk wouldn't even send - my Yahoo account said it was incorrect

11:47 am

stidmama

Did you try eliminating the underline?

11:48 am

firefly779

oh bother - i had a SPACE in it SORRY

11:48 am

stidmama

True, muse -- so are ours here (our "reservoirs" being the snow-covered mountains)...

11:48 am

Judi

11:54 am

bubba218

11:54 am

Judi

11:54 am

stidmama

Yes please Cathy -- I have AV 4 and AZ 5. what is the other A word please?

11:55 am

mymuseisme

11:55 am

gailinrb

bubba218

The name of a race track in Englande, or the scarf a person wears

11:55 am

mymuseisme

man's neckwear

11:55 am

stidmama

11:55 am

11:55 am

stidmama

11:55 am

davidsmutha

11:56 am

mymuseisme

the 2 f word clues would be nice since I don't have them either

11:56 am

gailinrb

i think of David Niven wearing one. LOL.

11:56 am

Cathyar

es5/12 is similar stidmama

11:56 am

mymuseisme

tried that and it didn't work for me lol

11:56 am

hetty

Morning, Stid. Theother "a" word is as5/12-- a place known for its race course--"Move yer bloomin' arse!

11:56 am

bubba218

just clued the f's at 11:54

11:56 am

stidmama

11:57 am

stidmama

LOL hetty, so good to see you here! Now that the boys are back in school, I'll be on more in the daytime (I hope) I've missed you!

11:57 am

hetty

11:57 am

Cathyar

bubba218

fu + vari*** veins + 2nd vowel

11:57 am

gailinrb

hi hetty

11:57 am

stidmama

Do you know if Jill's monitor is fixed yet? Didn't she have a problem with her computer just a month ago? *sigh* so inconvenient when our connections go down!

11:57 am

bubba218

Then add fr to the ending for the 7

11:57 am

stidmama

But it won't be the last Cathy, trust me!

11:58 am

Cathyar

welll...gotta head back to the office now...lunchtime's over. :(

11:58 am

Cathyar

How do you people know these words!?

11:58 am

mymuseisme

11:58 am

hetty

Hi gail I'd finished by 8 a.m.! now I'm waiting tillo jilli is at the library in order to offer her my laptop for the day--her monitor is down

11:58 am

stidmama

we monkeytype mostly, davidsmutha -- or we have been addicted for so long that we actually recognize them (how sad is that?)

11:59 am

bubba218

the 7 is also a sugar starting with fr, sometime they use it instead of glucose

11:59 am

mymuseisme

david, lickety's babble clues under friends of babble gives a list of what words start with and how long

11:59 am

stidmama

Please give Jill my love -- I miss seeing her!

11:59 am

gailinrb

bummer about her 'puter, hetty. sounds like you're a good pal!

11:59 am

mymuseisme

that's the one I have, missing the other bubba

11:59 am

stidmama

(today I am trying to use just the stat boxes and the chat for help...)

12:00 pm

mymuseisme

12:00 pm

davidsmutha

I totally understanding knowing words after a while. I love me some crossword puzzles!

12:00 pm

hetty

I'll do that, stid. She is not a morning person, as I am, so we don't often find ourselves on the game together (as it were!)

12:00 pm

hetty

I'll do that, stid. She is not a morning person, as I am, so we don't often find ourselves on the game together (as it were!)

12:01 pm

mymuseisme

got bubba thanks!!!!!

12:01 pm

stidmama

I don't generally do crosswords -- too time consuming... but I know they come in handy with this game!

12:01 pm

hetty

See? Even the box is into coupling!

12:01 pm

bubba218

fu + there is a big discount store call ***tco, then add the second vowel

12:01 pm

gailinrb

as does playing boggle, stid. with practice, one can 'see' words sideways, etc.

12:02 pm

stidmama

thanks hetty -- I had the strangest dream last night that my family was emigrating to Australia... and it was scary because everything was so new. Made me think of you as soon as I woke up!

12:02 pm

mymuseisme

Hi hetty! Hope Jilli's pc gets fixed real soon

12:02 pm

gailinrb

i lived in NZ for three months, stid. hardest part was driving on the "wrong" side of the road! LOL

12:03 pm

stidmama

oh well... I gave myself until 10 am to get as many as I could. Now my plan is to put on outside clothes (jammies are no good for gardening) and play in the garden a bit. Later all!

12:03 pm

hetty

If it's O.K. forthe Micawber family, it's O.K. for the Stidhams. Our daughter is still convinced we are magicking the Freo Dockers into winning every game!

12:03 pm

stidmama

that is funny gail! I didn't know they did that there...

12:04 pm

hetty

And of course, come November we'll be on our way there, D.V.

12:05 pm

gailinrb

12:05 pm

hetty

They do everything the U.K.way--much more Brit than Canada is, especially New Zealand

12:05 pm

stidmama

that's right hetty! I almost forgot your next trip. I bet you're already figuring out what to take and all. See you later (I hope) Our love to your darling husband!

I am SO ready for the new grid

6:59 pm

Jacula

Oh dear - another addict!

7:00 pm

Jacula

Not that I am... I finished the grid hours and hours ago... I've been busy all day. Why am I back here now? Erm...

7:00 pm

metaleather

grins, yer an addict Jacula, a flat out addict

7:01 pm

metaleather

Not the only one by any means, metaleather.

7:02 pm

Jacula

Play some what? OOO?

7:02 pm

bean66

Out Of Order

7:02 pm

bean66

that game keeps my mind working

7:03 pm

Jacula

Well, if you like recipes, Metal, I invented 2 more today. Not on BabAnon yet though - I need to have them family-tested first.

7:03 pm

Jacula

Bean - not heard of that game.

7:03 pm

bean66

7:03 pm

Natasha

can anyone give me the clue for the cu 5/14, please?

7:03 pm

metaleather

cool

7:04 pm

Jacula

Nat - cu5/14 - what you do when you want to dance with someone who already has a dancing partner.

7:04 pm

Jacula

Thanks, bean. I'll check it out.

7:05 pm

Natasha

thanks!

7:05 pm

metaleather

Ah, Boxerjam Games. I think I'm a member there. Lord knows what my username and p/w are though!

7:06 pm

Natasha

Hoooooraaaay! My first fireworks!

7:06 pm

There's a good word game on grab.com called Word Mojo. Not as easy as it seems...

7:06 pm

metaleather

yippeeeee Natasha

7:07 pm

Jacula

WELL DONE, NATASHA!*~*~*~*~*~

7:08 pm

Jacula

I've been editing, or trying to edit, my handwritten notes on my holiday in Crete back in July. I need to turn them into something less rambling for BabAnon.

7:10 pm

metaleather

that sounds lovely J

7:12 pm

metaleather

Jacula, can you recommend any sites which give equivalents of British and U.S. Standard measures? or of equivalent ingredients?

7:12 pm

elphaba

one word to go! i've never seen such a small puzzle.

7:12 pm

Jacula

Oh it was, metal. If you want to be transported to Africa though, go to BabAnon/Other Interests and read Haz's account of her time in Kenya. You can also read about Hurshy's Grand Tour and see lots of photos of Cybernan's European tour.

7:13 pm

metaleather

I"ll do that soon

7:14 pm

Jacula

metal - re the conversion tables for recipes. There are lots of sites. We were talking a few days ago about making our own table for weights/measurements and even 'terms' on BabAnon recipe thread though.

7:14 pm

elphaba

first fireworks ever! Sorry, gotta be proud of myself for a second.

7:14 pm

Jacula

Have you got your last word yet, el?

7:15 pm

Jacula

Oh, you have! WELL DONE!*~*~*~*~

7:15 pm

metaleather

that would be wonderful. one thing that puzzles me in some British recipes is ... the oven settings (not the Centigrade degrees, I can convert those)

7:15 pm

metaleather

CONGRATULATIONS elphaba!

7:16 pm

metaleather

BRB, have to feed the cat and maybe get some supper for myself as well. I'll be back soon. AFK

7:16 pm

Anniebrook

lizb, are you on now?

7:17 pm

Jacula

The icon theme (if you do it) for 7th Sept. is meant to be 'insect jewellery'. However, Babbler's away for a couple of days... and a few people earlier wanted to make 7th Sept. Steve Irwin day.

7:17 pm

elphaba

thank you!

7:17 pm

FranMag

hi all!

7:17 pm

Jacula

As it's 1/17am here now, I'm changing to the Steve Irwin theme...

7:18 pm

Anniebrook

hi franmag!!!

7:18 pm

FranMag

hi Annie!

7:19 pm

Jacula

Hi FranMag.

7:19 pm

FranMag

7:20 pm

'Bye Annie.

7:21 pm

Jacula

Oh gawd! It's like the blo*dy Waltons again here now. LOL.

7:21 pm

Tiny

Bye Annie Hye all

7:21 pm

Tiny

Hi Jacula

7:21 pm

Jacula

Hi again Tiny. I've got my Steve Irwin icon and, yes, I did paint the fence panel and do the cooking.:)

7:22 pm

FranMag

hi tiny!

7:22 pm

Jacula

Did you finish the grid earlier, Tiny?

7:22 pm

Ping

hi fran, jac, tiny

7:23 pm

Jacula

Hi Ping.

7:23 pm

FranMag

hi ping!!

7:23 pm

Tiny

Yes I finished and am glad to hear you finished the fence

7:24 pm

FranMag

going to go look for my Steve Irwin icon, later!

7:25 pm

Jacula

Tiny - only being a tiny person (5' 1" & a twiddle) I had to do the top parts (since top of panel was 8' high) with a brush taped to half a broom handle. It worked though! Couldn't use ladders or anything as ground is uneven there.

7:25 pm

Jacula

Well done on finishing, Tiny.

7:26 pm

Ping

jac, i think i've always imagined you as tall

7:26 pm

Jacula

Have you, Ping? Why?

7:27 pm

Ping

who knows... i never thought about it until just now

7:27 pm

Jacula

Strange how our imaginations work, isn't it?

7:28 pm

Tiny

And you succeded well that is good glad you did not use a ladder

7:29 pm

Jacula

I mean, people, including myself go into crowded message logs etc., on the internet, and 'hear the noise etc. We 'see' the people and what they are doing. I've been told this time and time again by other net users and feel it myself. I don't think it's a bad thing. Also, if and when you do meet for real, the ice is already broken.

7:30 pm

Tiny

I think we all get an image of people in our minds and we are usually wrong maybe one day we should do a personal icon so we can see what we look like

7:31 pm

Jacula

One of my net friends, only 2 years' younger than you and me, Tiny, collapsed and died on her way to work last week. Her funeral is tomorrow. So many of her met and not yet met Net friends will be there, some in person and some in spirit.

7:32 pm

Jacula

Tiny - we have had a person icon day before. However, some people are (understandably) cautious about putting their real face on the Net.

7:33 pm

Jacula

*personal

7:33 pm

Tiny

That is sad about your friend was she a babbler too.

7:33 pm

Tiny

Yes but it is your choice to do or not

7:34 pm

Jacula

Tiny - no, not a Babbler. She was from the Friends Reunited site.

7:34 pm

Jacula

I don't mind putting my pic up, in fact, often do!

7:35 pm

Tiny

I will pray for peace for you all toomorrow. I haven't yet

7:37 pm

PALMLADY

I am totally stuck on the SO word, please, a clue...

7:37 pm

Jacula

Thank you, Tiny. Mind you, what Marie wanted was for us all to raise our glasses and shout, 'Goodnight Marie' as they send her off.

7:38 pm

Tiny

thiink about froth but use so

7:38 pm

Jacula

Palmlady - so4/5 - think of the horror movies or the young people who like to dress all in black - go**. Change 1st letter.

7:39 pm

Tiny

Tiny

7:42 pm

vedaman

7:42 pm

Tiny

I will change back to my other icon now

7:42 pm

Jacula

Got one like that of my ex bo-in-law all packed up on it to move to Porugal back in the 80s. Later, he went on to live and work in Romania where he won a Harley in a raffle!

7:43 pm

Jacula

y/w, Palmlady. WELL DONE!

7:43 pm

lbdawger

Hi everyone! congrats tiny! me too! although that was hours ago...too many interruptions

7:43 pm

Jacula

7:44 pm

Tiny

7:44 pm

lbdawger

7:44 pm

stidmama

Hi all. YAY Palmlady! i am only sorta here, since the kids are home from school, but will be poking my head in occasionally...

7:45 pm

Jacula

I finished at 6:02am according to the time on my 'last word' stats.

7:45 pm

Jacula

Hi Stid. Kids! Who'd 'ave 'em? Eh?

7:45 pm

lbdawger

Hi Stid, how'd school go today for the kids?

7:45 pm

jg26

hi all, finished last night but thought i'd look up the meanings of some words while i have a cuppa. what are the chances that i will remember any of the meanings?

7:46 pm

Jacula

Hi jg. You'll remember 3 out of 20 maybe?

7:46 pm

jg26

thanks, maybe i should only look up three!

7:46 pm

Tiny

Jacula I loved that bike but the Doctor told me I am not allowed to ride at the moment so had to let it go

7:46 pm

Jacula

Mind you, jg, the words will lodge in your mind somewhere, even if the meanings don't.

7:46 pm

stidmama

I think it went well. Already the teen has forgotten to bring home the things we talked about (with the principal) he needs!

7:46 pm

Tiny

Hi to all who have just come on

7:47 pm

Jacula

No, jg. Look the lot up!

7:47 pm

stidmama

thanks for asking lbd -- how did your day go?

7:47 pm

jg26

that's true, but if i want to use some of the words while playing traditional scrabble, it's nice to be able to justify what you are putting down.

7:47 pm

Jacula

Tiny - that's a shame. Could you not have just garaged it for a while?

7:48 pm

jg26

jac. it would take me ages. havent got that time to spare!

7:48 pm

lbdawger

ahh, no major crises then! my day was wild and wooly, as it always is the first week of school

7:48 pm

Tiny

No as I have no idea if and when I will get clearance as I have a heart problem

7:48 pm

Jacula

True, jg!

7:48 pm

Jacula

Oh, sorry to hear that Tiny.

7:49 pm

Tiny

thats life you have to get on with it

7:49 pm

jg26

ibdawger, are you a teachr/

7:49 pm

Tiny

hey Stidmama are we having the story today

7:50 pm

Jacula

Yes, you do Tiny. It's far shorter than you think when you are 17. Sad, but true.

7:50 pm

lbdawger

jg, i'm an instructor, counselor, advisor...i work at a community college

7:50 pm

Jacula

I've just been reading through BabAnon and realised that MTNJock has died.

7:51 pm

jg26

certainly demanding work

7:51 pm

Tiny

Yes tell me about it I have a 22 year old who thinks life is one big joke and a 19 year old who wants to live life

7:51 pm

jg26

variety is the spice of life tiny

7:51 pm

Jacula

It's a while since I've looked through everything in BabAnon. I'm so sorry about MTNJock.

7:51 pm

Tiny

Dont know him Sorry

7:51 pm

lbdawger

most demanding is me keeping from wanting to throttle someone! lol just kidding. it's busy and keeps me off the streets.

7:52 pm

Jacula

Tiny = my 2 kids are the same ages.

7:52 pm

Jacula

And then there's my Other Half's girl who's coming up to 12 in December...

7:52 pm

stidmama

True enough, the first couple of weeks here are "interesting" from the teachers' perspective -- we never start with a full week, and there are always some kids who come in the second week.

7:52 pm

jg26

ah so yg!ou all debrief by babblin

7:52 pm

lbdawger

teenagers...why some animals eat their young...;-) gotta love 'em otherwise it's 20 years to life.

7:53 pm

Tiny

Stephen is 21 Katrina is 19

7:53 pm

Jacula

Too right, lbd.

7:53 pm

Tiny

what date in december

7:53 pm

stidmama

Of course, I am not a teacher -- my mother and some of my friends are. I knew I wouldn't enjoy the bureaucracy...

7:54 pm

Tiny

LOL stid

7:54 pm

stidmama

though I love to teach small groups and have tutored off an on for many years.

7:54 pm

Jacula

16th, Tiny. Why do you ask?

7:54 pm

Tiny

January and June respectively

7:55 pm

jg26

I am an early retired teacher, primary. I just do some emergency work now. I loved teaching but it can be a nightmare depending on what little darlings come your way

7:55 pm

Tiny

mine is 18th

7:55 pm

Jacula

My son was 22 on 26th May and my daughter 19 on 26th March.

7:55 pm

lbdawger

Stid the bureacracy is maddening. I try to stay under the radar with that stuff, but my job doesn't always lend itself to that

7:55 pm

Tiny

gee we have a lot in common

7:55 pm

Jacula

My partner's birthday is 19th Jan.

7:56 pm

stidmama

yes jg -- some years my mother (teaches first grade) has a couple of real "winners" - but mostly she enjoys her kids.

7:56 pm

Tiny

stephen is 1/1 and Katrina 15/6

7:56 pm

Jacula

My birthday is 22nd April, my ex-hubby (father of my kids) is 22nd March, and our family dog's birthday was 22nd Feb. LOL.

7:56 pm

lbdawger

both my sisters were teachers...both are retired...which is a bummer for me!

7:56 pm

stidmama

Yes, lbd, I hear you! I am too timid to even contemplate it...

7:56 pm

jg26

stid, *chuckle out loud* it is rewarding

7:57 pm

Tiny

mines is 10th Feb but our 29th anniversary is 20th January

7:57 pm

stidmama

lbd -- they must be A LOT older than you! LOL

7:57 pm

lbdawger

i like junior high age kids...they are fun to laugh at!

7:57 pm

Jacula

Tiny - my 30th wedding anniversary (had we reached it) would have been 5th March.

7:58 pm

lbdawger

Stid, not really, one is 6 years older than me and the other is only 2 years older. My fault, i moved around a lot so retirement isn't in my cards

7:58 pm

stidmama

oh, junior high kids scare me. They run in packs and howl at the drop of a hat. Actually, anything over about 12 makes me uncomfortable -- in groups. Individually, they get interesting around 4th grade and just get more so!

7:58 pm

Jacula

Stidmama - At my school we were either expect to become Wimbledon champions (as one of our lot had) or teachers. I just knew, that teachig wasn't for me.

7:58 pm

jg26

must go now, thanks for the chat. Am off to see my new cousin who was born 5 weeks prem

7:59 pm

lbdawger

jg, best of luck to the littlest member of your family

7:59 pm

jg26

her name is Amelia and is doing well despite being in this world a wee too early

7:59 pm

lbdawger

so Jac how was wimbledon? :-)

8:00 pm

stidmama

Oh, yes, lbd. My mother is in a similar boat. Teachers 15 years younger than she is can retire because they have enough years in, but she spent 14 years out of the profession, and then taught in a parochial school for many years (no retirement to speak of) so has had to work longer to make her "20 year" minimum in the public schools.

8:00 pm

lbdawger

ahh, still, nothing like the smell of babies! they don't do much but sure can make adults into blathering idiots! lol

8:00 pm

stidmama

congrats, jg, and best wishes to your new cousin and her parents!

8:00 pm

jg26

thanks all, bye.

8:01 pm

lbdawger

i figure i might be able to retire in another 20 years, i'll be 72 then.

8:01 pm

stidmama

Wow! look at the time... must go turn off the sprinkler and get some more laundry folded. Back in an hour for story. :-)

8:02 pm

lbdawger

bye JG!

8:02 pm

Jacula

Speaking of kids... I had a weird experience earlier when leaving our local shop.... As I came out there were a group of lads draped over and around the litter bin... they were somewhere between 10/12, I'd guess. I am 49. So, I was not expecting to hear one say, 'Nice arse!' and the others agree (and not in a sarcastic way). When I told my son on getting home, he fell about laughing and I didn't know whether to hit him or hug him! My Other Half just said, 'You should have told them, '"That's what my boyfriend thinks, too!") I thought it better to say nothing. I'm not a granny yet, but granny grabbers at 10/12? Flippin' 'eck!

8:02 pm

Tiny

bye stidmama and jg

8:03 pm

Tiny

LOL that would have made your day

8:03 pm

lbdawger

LOL Jac, but still a nice compliment!

8:04 pm

Jacula

lbd - didn't know whether to laugh, blush or feel complimented. Wasn't offended! I decided it was a compliment in the end.

8:04 pm

Tiny

I would be watching out if I were you they may and try and pick you up next

8:05 pm

Jacula

LOL. Tiny! They'd have to take on my 6' 2" Trucker first!

8:06 pm

Tiny

These days that probably wouldnt scare them LOL

8:06 pm

HollyBug

I need two c words from the c in the second column... I don't know what they are though... lol.

8:06 pm

Tiny

after all youth of today are not backwards in coming forward

8:07 pm

Jacula

Mind you, having said that... he was only 8-yrs-old when I got MARRIED!

8:07 pm

Tiny

End of your sleeve is cu 4/12

8:07 pm

Jacula

He's wondered since, as he used to holiday at the place in Wales where I worked, if he was was of the 'snotty little kids' I used to serve in the shop.

8:07 pm

Jacula

OOeer!

8:08 pm

Tiny

LOL

8:08 pm

P.J.

Hi everyone,This evening groupe is always so nice and enjoyable!

8:08 pm

Tiny

8:09 pm

Tiny

Hi hodag welcome back

8:09 pm

Tiny

8:09 pm

griffith

does someone have a clue for the cu5?

8:10 pm

P.J.

Thanks Tiny

8:10 pm

pida 1

cu + a thin metal

8:10 pm

Tiny

if you slice open a pie you cu* ** to it

8:10 pm

griffith

thanks

8:11 pm

Jacula

griff - cu5 is what you do when you want to dance with someone who already has a dancing partner.

8:11 pm

Jacula

Mind you, that clue might be a bit dated now... they probably just amble up, grunt, punch, and then dance with?

8:11 pm

lbdawger

ahhh, so Jac you're a cradle robber! lol

8:12 pm

lbdawger

do they still dance with a partner?

Buttonman

JACULA, can you help me with the tr 6/39 please.

8:26 pm

Jacula

lbd - depends on when it occurs. If not, I'll catch up on BabAnon. Probably better anyway, since \I do tend to interrupt with clue-giving.

8:26 pm

Jacula

owl - we are more than 'okay', we are BRILLIANT!

8:26 pm

lbdawger

lol Jac we all seem to do that.

8:27 pm

Tiny

jac did you see my message at 8:24

8:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

jacs - i was trying to figure out how to use ezboard when i thought i read something that made me think the fee was so high beacuse it goes by unregistered hits

8:27 pm

Jacula

Buttonman - tr6/39 & plural 7. t + r4/11 (Elizabethan collar type) + 2nd vowel.

8:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

e.g., the more unregistered users, the more we pay. which given how our fee jumped, makes sense.

8:29 pm

Buttonman

THanks, JACULA, got them both...I have one left...

8:29 pm

bb15436

go buttonman

8:29 pm

Jacula

Tiny - just scroled back and read it. Well, BabAnon was started for that at first. Then it evolvd into something where you share without blocking upi the chatlog on here.

Cathy stopped in quickly to see if there had been any news overnight on Esmeralda's condition. Then she walked swiftly toward the center of the village, rocking back and forth as she always did, like a boat on a choppy lake.

9:22 pm

Tiny

Adam followed the teen toward the garden, suddenly feeling the weight of all his years.

Sebastian was having more trouble than most, it seemed. He didn't want to share in others' joys; resented good things that came to others in fact.

He considered Tor, finally experiencing some success as a wagon driver for various teams; but never able to settle in one place or with one job. He drifted from team to team, town to town, coming home infrequently and staying for only a few days when he did.

9:52 pm

inge

great jafro2, do it again, and again

9:52 pm

stidmama

The corners of his mouth turned down as he thought of the many times harsh words had been said -- by both of them.

9:52 pm

well well done then Jafro2

And he wished there were another way around the sorrow that he knew Helena, Peter -- and Sebastian -- would face.

Nan's voice came from the porch, "Grampy, Aunt Helena would like us to carry some extra vegetables home when we leave."

9:58 pm

lbdawger

yummm Harp!

9:58 pm

stidmama

Adam raised his hand in acknowledgement, and turned to Sebastian. Now was not the time to mince words.

9:59 pm

stidmama

"Sebastian, you have a lot of very good qualities. You are smart with machines, a good speaker and a good writer. I think once your voice settles down and you stop growing you'll have a fine singing voice and be a handsome man."

9:59 pm

9:59 pm

Sebastian's face relaxed a bit at the compliments.

10:01 pm

stidmama

"And that isn't enough to _make_ people like you. There are other things, like being helpful without being asked; or willingly accepting responsibility for the outcome of things you do; and the hardest one of all: you have to like others first."

10:01 pm

stidmama

The boy's face fell, and he turned back to the weeds. He was working quickly, and most of the first row was already done.

10:02 pm

stidmama

"You should know this, Sebastian, because even your family, who will love you no matter what, need to have reasons to _like_ you."

10:03 pm

Tiny

poor boy I feel for sebastion

10:03 pm

stidmama

"AND," Adam continued, over a whine Sebastian uttered, "they have many reasons already to like you."

10:03 pm

stidmama

"You have helped your mother and father many times when a workman hasn't been available for planting and harvest."

10:04 pm

stidmama

"You have helped your sister when she has been hurt and needed someone to lean on to get home."

10:08 pm

Kahlua

Adam patted him on the shoulder, "My boy, they do it because they love you, not because it is fun."

"Just between you and me, I'd rather sit on the bank of the river and fish today... but let's keep that our little secret, and we'll slip off soon and have a day of it."

10:09 pm

normally there is an L in that word but we are on babble and it has its own words

10:18 pm

ArtSpring is a cultural centre on Salt Spring Island which has attracted world famous performers as well as being a showcase for artists and photographers par excellence

10:19 pm

Oh, so its like a museum of world famous paintings?

the un-new castoff monitor is the pits, thank you very much! I have the wrong resolution, I guess, because the babble screen is too big and I have to slide it around to get it all in. I'm not sure how to change the resolution.
