melonheadjujube

12:48 am

sprite

jilli, you are very close with the Jewish word. Work with the vowels you have and realise there is no double but a single.... :)

12:49 am

chic

Dilana was awesome but I knew the guys wouldn't have the cajones to pick a chick...

12:49 am

FranMag

debbinla

1:33 am

MayneGuy

Oh jilli! How awful for you :(

MayneGuy

bye debb!

1:33 am

sprite

Darn! How dare he. They'd better start being very kind to you very fast, or they'll be handling lots of angry babblers!

1:33 am

jillibus

well, these things happen rarely, thank goodness

1:34 am

wassup

i see froelica...

1:34 am

sprite

They better. You deserve kind gentlemen ;)

1:34 am

MayneGuy

They shouldn't happen at all - I agree with debb grrrrrr

1:35 am

jillibus

the rest of the library workers were very kind and solicitous - a great group - all volunteers like me.

1:35 am

MayneGuy

1:36 am

jillibus

1:44 am

wassup

i didn't see mongoose, but i was trying goose

1:45 am

froelica

i saw another couple of dr's today, they think the problem i was having was stress related or fixable, so they're testing me, but feel confidant its nothing serious

1:45 am

froelica

still reaaaaalllllly freaked out though.

1:45 am

wassup

well good. i keep thinking about you. :)

1:46 am

froelica

crazynotstupid

1:51 am

crazynotstupid

i get maybe 3 hours of sleep a night

1:52 am

helenkeller

good nite everyone :)

1:52 am

froelica

yowzas! my friend tried to teach himself to live off of 4 hours per night, he became verrrry ill

1:52 am

froelica

night helen

1:53 am

helenkeller

froelica - have you ever heard of sensory deprivation tanks?

1:53 am

froelica

yes, and it scares the tar out of me. why?

1:54 am

Frances

Another phantom word - escape - the thing I need to do now. Bye

1:54 am

helenkeller

a friend of mine used to manage a floating place when we were in college - so we would sleep there, in sep. tanks of course, & 3-4 hours was better than a full night's sleep - amamzing!

1:54 am

froelica

wow, i guess i can see how that would work!

1:54 am

helenkeller

fro- are you claustrophobic? ( or just scared of yourself, lol)

1:55 am

Atalante

hi all! and yes, helen, those tanks are amazing!

1:55 am

froelica

a little of column "a", a little of column "b"....

1:55 am

helenkeller

that was the best sleep i've ever had - but unless you own a tank - welll, it would get every expensive to sleep there

1:55 am

helenkeller

i haven't floated in a long time, but that's what i'm asking for my birthday from everyone this year - gift certs for floating

1:56 am

froelica

haha

1:56 am

helenkeller

hi ata!! is floating popular in britain?

1:57 am

Atalante

not mainstream popular, but definitely loved by some

1:57 am

froelica

hey ata

1:57 am

helenkeller

froe- i recommend it - it takes some getting used to - varies alot for people, but you can always get out, whenever you want, it's not like they lock you in there

1:57 am

helenkeller

ah ata - just like here

1:57 am

froelica

the tanks remind me of a very funny simpsons episode

1:58 am

Atalante

and there's a light switch in there so you can get light instantly if you want. at least the ones I've been in have

1:58 am

froelica

yeah, i would definately try it some time, helen, i think i'd just have to mentally prepare for it!

1:58 am

helenkeller

not only is it really calming, but body pressure is redistributed so you end up feeling both mentally & physically relaxed :)

1:59 am

froelica

i think that might be what i desperately need right npw

1:59 am

froelica

now*

1:59 am

Atalante

I thought I'd hate it, and fought against liking it for about 10 minutes then just went *floof* and loved it

1:59 am

helenkeller

wow ata - now that's new to me - what a great idea! like i said - it's been a long time since i floated

2:00 am

froelica

don't you get all soggy and pruney?

2:00 am

Atalante

I think they are trying to allay anyone's fears about claustrophobia!

2:00 am

helenkeller

froe - the first time or 2 most people spend goofing around, getting used to the environment, bouncing off the sides, back & forth :) after you get that out of your system then you can relax - i almost always fall asleep right away

2:01 am

froelica

sounds great to me right now!! i think it would take me a little while, but i'd get there

2:02 am

helenkeller

well yes, you DO get wet - it is salt water & after an hour you do get pruney - but that goes away - just be sure to shower really well afterwards, cause dried salt can be irritating, annoying

2:02 am

Atalante

http://www.floatworks.com/float.htm <- the place I go to

2:03 am

helenkeller

spacetime tanks is the palce i used to go to

2:03 am

helenkeller

okay - i must go get some regular sleep in my normal bed now :)

2:03 am

helenkeller

good nite ata & fro :)

2:04 am

Atalante

night!

2:05 am

froelica

night!

2:07 am

froelica

i need to stop trying "person"!!!

2:17 am

Atalante

I need to stop seeing pessary, because not only isn't it there, but its a horrid word too!

2:21 am

froelica

i've never even heard of it!

2:21 am

Atalante

its a way to take medications - in a big capsule thing you have to stick up your bottom, to be blunt!

2:29 am

Atalante

oh dear, I think I broke the chat log lol

2:31 am

FMitch

Morning Atalante, how are you?

2:33 am

Atalante

2:43 am

Atalante

oh dear, haven't found any of the strange ones yet

2:45 am

mattygroves

OK, I think the theme is T-shirt Art - have changed my icon accordingly.

2:45 am

amandacath

Morning all! How many are we trying to sqeeze out of the grid today?

2:45 am

mattygroves

101, Amanda

2:46 am

FMitch

Well it might be they are strange to me. The g's are and a couple of m's plus the kn5 & 6

2:48 am

amandacath

well, I guess that's doable - although I'm sure there will be some bizarre ones, given the letters we're working with!

2:48 am

Atalante

ahhhh well I haven't got any of them yet :P

2:50 am

amandacath

got those kn's mitch was talking about - means 'bud' in German (I tend to try German words, just in the hopes that for some strange reason they'll take)

2:52 am

marso

2:53 am

mattygroves

I looked up bud (my German's so rusty) and can't find that kn...I have one kn relating to fabric

2:56 am

Atalante

I thought I knew the German for bud, but obviously I don't lol *looks up*

2:57 am

mattygroves

Ich kann ein bisschen Deutsch, aber nicht das Wort fuer Bud! LOL

2:58 am

froelica

2:58 am

mattygroves

Ahhh...I didn't realise I needed to drop the e. Thanks

2:58 am

FMitch

3:06 am

srmw1985

And thunder n lightning!

3:06 am

Haz1558

Did anybody else try 'gonk'? I have a vague memory of them being toys, but we're talking a long time ago. Anyone with stronger memories?

3:07 am

srmw1985

on your own there Haz!

3:07 am

Atalante

yes, very vaguely Haz ...

3:07 am

FMitch

Id did Haz and was disapointed when it didn't take

3:08 am

amandacath

3:08 am

Haz1558

I am not alone then!

3:09 am

FMitch

Absoluetly not!

3:09 am

Haz1558

Just googled it - 'a small, soft furry creature popular as a toy in the 1980's' - I thought it was longer ago than that.

3:09 am

Atalante

here we go FM - http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/39
773171/ (from last night) and http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/39

3:10 am

Karys

hello everyone....is it me or has the fo word for enemies been in every day for weeks !!!

3:11 am

Haz1558

Hello Karys - yes, it is appearing with regularity.

3:11 am

amandacath

guess 'Canossa' hasn't made it's way to a non-proper noun...

3:11 am

Atalante

its taking over from tent as the ever-present word

3:12 am

Coolman

u guyz r soooooo wierd

3:12 am

Karys

I was thinking of feta and etna !

3:12 am

Karys

I was thinking of feta and etna !

3:12 am

amandacath

that happens sometimes - there was a week when 'seton' was in there almost every day. I think the grid is trying to tell us something, but we just can't quite figure it out....

3:12 am

Atalante

what's canossa?

3:12 am

Karys

twice ....by the looks of things !

3:13 am

Karys

aahh.....a hidden message you think ?

3:15 am

amandacath

Canossa is a somewhere in Italy - 'to go to Canossa' means to humble yourself, based on the story of some Holy Roman Emporer who went to Canossa to bow before the Pope after pissing him off for one reason or another

3:15 am

Atalante

oooo ty. thats my new bit of knowledge for the day!

3:15 am

philod14

morning folks..

3:15 am

philod14

only 101 today.. not bad

3:16 am

amandacath

yeah Karys, a hidden message. Makes me feel sorry for the poor Babble-ghost who's trying to get through to us and just can't make itself understood!

3:17 am

Karys

obviously needs to try harder for us !

3:17 am

Karys

morning phil

3:17 am

amandacath

hi phil!

3:18 am

FMitch

Ata - love the frog border, such fun!. I saw Joscelin earlier as a pencil sketch, the colour has given it a gentle depth.

3:19 am

Atalante

thank you :) the frog border just appeared on my sketchpad last night from somewhere or other! and I'm really pleased with the Joscelin pic - I feel I'm getting used to watercolour now

3:21 am

M3

morning all, this grid looks horrid. how's everyone finding it?

3:22 am

Haz1558

I'm finding it difficult....

3:23 am

amandacath

Hi M3 - have gotten about half-way and have resorted to making up words - sogom = what Sodom and Gomorrah would be called today if they still existed

3:23 am

M3

oh haz if you find it hard then i have no chance !

3:23 am

Atalante

I'm slowing down a bit after 60 words

3:23 am

M3

its taken me 10 mins only to find 26 words!!!

3:24 am

Haz1558

Maybe the words are just being stubborn or something.

3:24 am

Coolman

3:48 am

sapphie1

3:49 am

FMitch

Oh Haz we are showing our age today I remember that one too.

3:49 am

Haz1558

The younger generation will be saying 'Huh'?

3:50 am

JFB

You get used to the pitying look and the 'who?' don't you?

3:50 am

FMitch

3:51 am

Haz1558

Yes - don't forget the rolling of the eyes.

3:51 am

Haz1558

I know - we've tried as well sapphie

3:53 am

sapphie1

whatever happened to gonks?

3:54 am

Haz1558

I don't know - they didn't make any noise or demand batteries, so they were probably regarded as old-fashioned and consigned to the home for redundant toys.

3:54 am

amandacath

check out the dictionary.com def for gonk - never heard of it in either language

3:55 am

JFB

I have 3 in the attic - my daughter can't bear to throw her cuddly toys out!

3:55 am

seano216k

ahhh just got the 'mo' that reminded you of in the summertime!

3:55 am

Haz1558

What a deprived childhood you had, amanda. Never heard of gonks....

3:56 am

seano216k

were gonks the same as trolls?

3:56 am

sapphie1

yes...just been on ebay and they have gonk/trolls for sale

3:57 am

Haz1558

No, trolls have a plastic element to them, gonks were just a mass of fake fur.

3:57 am

Atalante

I want gnostic and gnomon

3:57 am

sapphie1

did they have eyes...can't remember

3:58 am

JFB

Carry on with the 1st 3 letters Atalante

3:58 am

Haz1558

Looking up google images to remind myself...

3:59 am

seano216k

ahhh that's right i remember gonks now....i think i vaguely remember combing them a la trolls though, thats where the confusion came in

3:59 am

FMitch

g + n5/10

4:00 am

Haz1558

Trolls had long hair - I think gonks had eyes although google images has trolls and gonks labelled as the same thing.

4:00 am

Haz1558

Thanks FMitch.

4:01 am

FMitch

yw Haz, such a strange word

4:01 am

Atalante

ah well, I was nearly there!

4:02 am

Haz1558

Right - time I was doing other things. I've crawled to 67 and will come back later to see what other memories can be evoked by the grid. See you all later!

4:03 am

amandacath

maybe it was a british thing? *goes to google pics to see if stirs some brain cells*

4:03 am

seano216k

Make your own gonk!
You will need:
1 x toilet roll
2 x plastic eyes (the kind that rattle)
400 cm2 piece of shaggy polyester fur
100 cm2 piece of card
Adhesive (a strong one, suitable for paper and plastic) or a stapler
Scissors (ask your parents first)
(european standard toilet roll size is 12.5mm long by 5.5mm diameter, which gives us a outside area of 12.5mm x 3.14mm x 5.5mm *. American toilet rolls are slightly longer **)

four easy Steps to a gonk:

1. Staple or glue the fur to the toilet roll
2. Cut feet shape from card
3. Glue on the feet
4. Glue on the eyes

4:03 am

Atalante

are the other 2 Gs gns too?

4:03 am

FMitch

Bye Haz see you later

FMitch

Sorry was just listening to the news.

7:26 am

Wolvie

7:26 am

phandmd

7:26 am

Haz1558

Still a hose-pipe ban? That's gone on for months!

7:27 am

emtiandeca

Yes Gail I saw Fireworks

7:27 am

Haz1558

phandmad - don't look for any sensible words in the go section.

7:27 am

Jacula

gn = intuitive knowledge of spiritual truth said to have been possessed by the ancient Gn**tics. (Comes from the Greek word for knowledge.)

7:28 am

phandmd

does the go use an f?

7:28 am

Jacula

Why isn't 'gonk' a word? I distinctly remember gonk and glook (the hairy version of a gonk) toys in the 60s and 70s.

7:28 am

Haz1558

It does indeed.

7:28 am

Wolvie

yes, ph

7:28 am

Wolvie

clue for ps word?

7:29 am

phandmd

in the 3rd position?

7:29 am

Haz1558

Jacula - we were talking about gonks earlier. Maybe it's a trademark - seano has passed on instructions on how to make your own!

7:29 am

Wolvie

4th

7:29 am

Haz1558

Not in the third position.

7:29 am

philod14

ra5, 6, 7??

7:29 am

Wolvie

sorry - 5th

7:29 am

Jacula

Were you, Haz? I used to make them!

7:30 am

phandmd

so it is the last letter?

7:30 am

Wolvie

yes, ph - then plural

7:30 am

FMitch

lol Jacs we did have quite a discussion about them this morning

7:30 am

Haz1558

The instructions seano found seemed to be simple enough - toilet rolls, fake fur, cardboard, googly eyes. Maybe you could start a revival.

7:31 am

Wolvie

ra 6 - a term forresentment, then plural

7:31 am

Jacula

I'll have to look in the archives later and read the discussion.

7:31 am

Wolvie

no one has the ps word?? please?

7:32 am

Haz1558

Some people were either too young or too American to remember. WE are of the chosen generation.

7:32 am

Haz1558

ps , two vowels and plural.

7:37 am

Wolvie

7:37 am

FMitch

7:37 am

7:40 am

Haz1558

So why do Vietnamese burglars get in and gonks are locked out?

7:40 am

phandmd

7:40 am

Jacula

kr = Swedish monetary unit.

7:40 am

Wolvie

7:41 am

YoBaby

Y'all have fun. I'm going to make coffee - obviously can't do this without it! BBL

8:30 am

bunnyvicious

Hmmm, I don't remember that on in the movie...

8:30 am

8:36 am

bunnyvicious

8:36 am

EvaNadine

8:37 am

Inge2

I have no Gs, and can't find last two Ks

8:38 am

EvaNadine

i came in thinking "101 words? thats do-able..."

8:38 am

bunnyvicious

G 5/20 & 6/6/33 - no def., go + opp of yes + cons (use the scoring to figure), plural for 6

8:40 am

EvaNadine

8:41 am

bunnyvicious

The kn 5 & 6 - splet similar to a flying insect that stigs (not a bee, but in the family), use a different vowel

8:41 am

EvaNadine

according to encarta:

Definition:
crime
Same as ganef

8:41 am

bunnyvicious

Can't type yet, sorry, still on first cup o' joe - spelt similar to a flying insect that stings- .

I was thinking Gollums long lost sister.

8:46 am

Ankhorite

Inge, I really like your icon. Do you have it larger? Did you draw it? My One&Only likes newts, salamanders, etc. :)

8:47 am

Inge2

thanks Ankhorite! I do draw salamanders occasionally, but this pic I just stole from the 'net. I like them too! They have such gorgeous colors. (and cute hamster...your pet?)

8:48 am

bunnyvicious

8:48 am

ExWren

8:49 am

Inge2

It was so long ago, no; but I just used Google Images and entered "salamander" I think.

8:50 am

bunnyvicious

I bought the kids a hamster once and it escaped. Of all the places for it to be, it ws under my tire when I left for work the next morning. Until I find a cage they can't escape, no more!

8:50 am

Anyone want a clue before I leave?

10:02 am

11:13 am

Haz1558

So Atalante and Ankhorite are practically neck and neck.....

11:13 am

Ankhorite

Okay, I have one OSS+ are there more?

11:13 am

CiociaJudy

go atalante go!

11:14 am

Haz1558

Brace yourself Atalante - there are two os words

11:14 am

Ankhorite

I just don't get how to work the clue sheet at Lickety -- you have to print it out and fill it by hand? or at least, fill each word in online??

11:14 am

CiociaJudy

you can print it and fill it in by hand (which I do sometimes), or type the words in the top block and they will automatically appear in the proper block below.

11:15 am

Haz1558

Ankhorite - bring up Lickety's list in a separate window, reduce it in size and place it so that you can see the words you have entered. Now enter them in lickety's list, it will place them, and you will see what you lack. It has saved my sanity.

11:15 am

Ankhorite

Aha, Haz, Judy, NOW I get it! hmmm.

11:16 am

Haz1558

There will be no stopping you now!

11:16 am

Atalante

am I the only person here who doesn't fill in lickety's page LOL

11:17 am

hurshy

course not, i'm here too :)

11:17 am

chj

better to fill it in online...that way it shows you where the word fits alphabetically...for example there may be 5 da4/5's and you have two of them...by entering them in the top box and scrolling down you will know where they fit in

11:17 am

Atalante

woot! didn't know you were still here :)

11:18 am

hurshy

been chatting on IM with someone. 4 to go. :)

11:18 am

Atalante

Hi Fiz

12:19 pm

Ankhorite

Oh, Inge, I accidentally read your profile as a dachshund-bromeliad mix...

12:19 pm

Ankhorite

What a savage plant that would be!

12:20 pm

efor1124

nvm, got em :)

12:20 pm

Ankhorite

Thanks for the BBC ref, S'Mama.

12:20 pm

Ankhorite

Efor, think Yiddish, think thief or bad guy, and then spell it funny.

12:22 pm

caitlyn

Ankh I forgot to say welcome to Babble....you will be sorry!!LOL

12:22 pm

stidmama

a hint for the GO words please? I am down to four...

12:23 pm

stidmama

I don't know enough Yiddish to use your clue ank...

12:23 pm

lizmac

I'm looking for same as Efor, but can't get clue about Yiddish at all!!

12:24 pm

caitlyn

stid how a child might say and spell something that doesnt smell nice!!

12:25 pm

Ankhorite

Okay, forget the yiddish... go*** and its plural... let me think a second.

12:25 pm

stidmama

thanks caitlyn *thinking*

12:26 pm

EvaNadine

*YAWN*

12:26 pm

stidmama

evanadine? tired?

12:26 pm

EvaNadine

nonono, not at all!!

12:26 pm

caitlyn

Are we keeping you up evan?

12:26 pm

TheFiz

*Pouring coffee for evanadine* this always helps me...

12:27 pm

stidmama

LOL!

12:27 pm

EvaNadine

caitlin -- WORK is keeping me up...

12:27 pm

Bugzy

12:27 pm

stidmama

are you done with the election, Fiz?

12:27 pm

TheFiz

*pouring for stid* anyone else need a warm-up?

12:27 pm

Ankhorite

I'm not sure what's polite in clues, don't want to go too far, but let's say the first syllable rhymes with moan, and the second is kind of "not on"

12:28 pm

stidmama

Thanks Bugsy! that's firewords for me.

12:28 pm

Ankhorite

Oooh, Bugzy, nice clue! What election, Fiz?

12:28 pm

TheFiz

yes, stid - mixed bag, some of my candidates one and some lost - but there were some ugly politics and bullying tactics, and that alwaysmakes me mad.

12:28 pm

stidmama

and thanks Ank!

12:28 pm

Ankhorite

Eh, mine weren't very good. :(

12:28 pm

Bugzy

YW! And Hi everyone BTW...

12:28 pm

TheFiz

RI primary, ankh- i fancy myself a bit of a politico.

12:29 pm

TheFiz

hi bugz!

12:29 pm

Ankhorite

Heard there were hot contests there.

12:29 pm

stidmama

that is why I don't "do" politics any more except to write letters to people once they are elected (for all the good it does) and vote in every election that doesn't require me to indicate a political party preference.

12:29 pm

Ankhorite

Any primary is exhausting.

12:29 pm

Ankhorite

I do what I can; I know by the time they're elected, it's too late. :(

12:30 pm

TheFiz

true. hot republican senate primary - weird in such a democratic state, had record turnout of 25,000 votes. not bad in a state of a million that is over 75% democrat....

12:30 pm

stidmama

Ank -- the cluing gets better (usually) over time. Your clue was a good one, and you will figure out the sorts of clues that work quickly!

12:30 pm

Ankhorite

A primary is hard because instead of the us v. them feeling of a football, it's us v. us, like a fight at Thanksgiving dinner...

12:30 pm

Ankhorite

Thanks, Stid!

12:31 pm

caitlyn

I lost the internet !!Yeah for stid!!!

12:31 pm

TheFiz

hey, voting is key, as is holding those we elect accountable. keep up the letter writing!

12:31 pm

lizmac

an5/10 anyone? I'm getting within sight of fireworks at last!!!

12:31 pm

Bugzy

Yay Stid!

12:32 pm

Ankhorite

I'd say, write letters to the editor if you want to get a Congressperson's attention... lesser offices than that, you can write directly to the officeholder and probably get a response. :)

12:32 pm

TheFiz

(ankhorite - you're in the grid!) primary politics always get ugly, and then you're supposed to turn around and support the guy you've spend months skewering as dishonest, uncommitted, opposed to your values, whatever. it's a sick setup.

12:32 pm

Ankhorite

In the grid?

12:32 pm

Ooh, I got lots of those, tor!

1:43 pm

1:43 pm

ShadeEagle

1:43 pm

jnfr217

and the # of points?

1:43 pm

walnutchen

should we let jnfr217 in on the secret to getting the first 2 letters?

On the bottom left of the page, under "Friends of Babble," go to "Lickety's Babble Clues"...

1:45 pm

lynxxx

ps5.12 = p + anotherword for ocean - then change the second letter of that word from the 2nd vowel to the 4th vowel

1:45 pm

Bugzy

... Or "Angelsong's Babble Page"...

1:45 pm

lynxxx

Congrats Shade!

1:46 pm

Atalante

or Babblers ANonymous for BJ's stats

1:46 pm

Bugzy

Or "Babbler's Anonymous." You'll find a second letter/poionts list for today's grid, along with other helpful stuff!

1:46 pm

Bugzy

Yay for ShadeEagle!

1:46 pm

walnutchen

yeah, what bugzy said.

1:46 pm

1:49 pm

I went pro today.. thanks guys for the direction

1:49 pm

maybe someday I will finish a grid

1:50 pm

firefly779

today's a good day to finish! short grid, easily done with the list in no time!

1:51 pm

Bugzy

Also jnfr, try scanning back thru the chat log. Lots of good clues given today. And congrats on going Pro!

1:51 pm

lynxxx

you'll soon get to the stage when you can finish the grid jnfr - but then you get into the trap that you feel 'compelled' to finish every day - even when the grid may have over 400 words!

1:53 pm

jillibus

jnfr - lets us know about you! Go up to My Account and cook up a profile and an icon!

Hi Jilli - 16 here - but using Lickety

1:54 pm

jillibus

oh, I'm using Lickety - always do - I need all the help I can get!

1:54 pm

firefly779

i just starting listing myself...

1:56 pm

jnfr217

Am I a loser or is it confusing using Licketys clues? I can't figure out how to do it....

1:56 pm

lynxxx

actually did 2 days of the short ones listless last weekend - which I had only veer done once before!

1:57 pm

jnfr217

I think I figured it out.. nevermind..

1:57 pm

firefly779

jnfr - you can type in the words at the top as you get them, then they'll be in order so you know exactly where your missing words are.

1:58 pm

jnfr217

I'm just a loser

1:58 pm

firefly779

awww, i'm sure you're just a newbie is all -don't be so hard on yourself!

1:58 pm

GraceM

last word...a g6 anyone?

1:58 pm

lynxxx

Jnfr - Lickety is great (although I don't enter into it). The 2 letters of each word are listed alphabetically which means as you get more more you can work out what letters of the alphabet will probably come next.

1:58 pm

Bugzy

You're not a loser, you're a Babbler! (At least that's what I keep telling myself!!)
:)

1:59 pm

jillibus

jnfr - st up another window and click on Lickety, then shrink it sideways. Enter the words from your Word List and they will appear in the correct boxes so you can see what you're missing - the length of the word and its point value.

1:59 pm

GraceM

fireworks!

1:59 pm

lynxxx

g6 - g+ what is on the front of your face. (silly word)

1:59 pm

10:18 pm

stidmama

Woulf -- it is OKAY to set a child who is screaming down and walk away briefly to regain your composure. The first time I did it I felt awful, but when I returned, I was much more able to be effective.

(Why didn't I think if that on my own?)

10:20 pm

stidmama

Do you know there are "external" hard drives that can plug into a USB port? Sometimes they go on sale at the big Geek stores around here. It's easier than tearing the box apart.
