A daughter of a friend of mine is in the process of emigrating to Australia. She and her husband passed all the tests, so it is going fast now.

2:33 am

sprite

hi and goodnight, BigFoot

2:33 am

Yay Saph !!!!!!!!

2:38 am

Krys10

it's so interesting... here in the US I think there would be a lot of uproar if the standards (for spoken/reading/written english) were raised for people moving here

2:38 am

Ganja

oh good job saphyre

2:38 am

sprite

I really wish we had such a language rule for immigrants in Holland. That barrier is certainly responsible for a lot of racism issues here, such a terrible shame.

2:38 am

Andree

sprite we have whole communities where the parents don't speak english even after years, so the language requirement is new

2:39 am

sprite

wtg saphhyre!

2:39 am

Krys10

likewise, we do here too, but I think there would be a lot of accusations of racism if a language requirement were strictly enforced

2:39 am

sprite

Sounds like a good thing to me, Andree. We could use some of that good sense here.

2:39 am

saphyre

anyone need clues before I va****

M3

Oh crumbs Haz do you have gas?

3:25 am

metaleather

fr6/36 something unnecessary, foolish or deemed "silly". usually has the ending "ous"

3:25 am

sprite

3:42 am

herinfernallady

3:57 am

spanner

3:57 am

FranMag

3:57 am

herinfernallady

3:57 am

Ganja

3:58 am

Karys

3:58 am

Haz1558

Elton John's caterer had similar problems.

3:58 am

herinfernallady

yep starting to pull out hair, he is driving me nuts, hence trying to ignore it at the mo

3:58 am

M3

make sure you own the copy right, dont want to see dodgy mashups on YouTube !!!

3:58 am

metaleather

open day? like a reception?

3:58 am

herinfernallady

mmm that is funny m3

3:58 am

spanner

Well then you have time to compose your lovely poem....

3:58 am

Andree

lol haz

3:59 am

Haz1558

Karys - it'll be fantastic so go ahead and be excited. I'm thrilled and I'm not even going to be there!

3:59 am

Haz1558

Unless......

3:59 am

FMitch

I've bought a hat already :)

3:59 am

Karys

I didn't want a 'proper' reception, it sort of defeats the object of going away to get married, so it's supposed to be just a casual sort of drop in event.

4:00 am

Karys

LOL FMitch

4:00 am

spanner

Good. We'll all drop in.

4:00 am

Karys

be there in spirit Haz

4:00 am

Andree

it all sounds lovely karys, I am sure it will go well

4:00 am

Haz1558

I can just see us on Christmas Day, all dressed up, hats on, sitting at the computer while the family waits impatiently for their turkey to be served....

4:00 am

Karys

now THAT would be exciting spanner !!

4:01 am

FMitch

LOL Haz!!!!

4:01 am

Karys

ok...ok...I REALLY did laught out loud at that one Haz !!

4:01 am

spanner

We'll all wear babble tee shirts so you can recognise us...oh and big hats

4:01 am

metaleather

and our icons would be pictures of the pressies we'd like to give, or of the charities to which we would give

4:02 am

herinfernallady

but haz elton is rich why would you be tight with cash if you had it spend it. i know someone that has spent $20 grand just on the engagement

4:02 am

Haz1558

And trying to explain to our families that no, babble hasn't taken over our lives at all.

4:02 am

Andree

see karys you don't have to worry, we will plan it all for you

4:02 am

spanner

And lying through our teeth...

4:03 am

Karys

sounds like you all get the same reactions from your families that I do here !

4:03 am

FranMag

what day is the wedding karys? i'll email babbler and have big hat day in honor of your cruise wedding.

4:04 am

Karys

Andree...just as a byetheway..we are expecting to see your icon in March !!

4:04 am

FranMag

oh duh christmas day of course

4:04 am

herinfernallady

4:04 am

Karys

ooohh Fran....how lovely !!

4:04 am

Andree

4:05 am

spanner

My sister lives in Sydney..

4:05 am

Karys

no Andree...first time for me, my 'husband to be' has tho...his son lives in Brisbane.

4:06 am

Andree

so you will go to Brisbane too

4:06 am

spanner

Karys, you are a bit of a globetrotter on the sly..

4:07 am

Haz1558

Goodness knows what it will do to your babble rankings but I suppose some things are more important!

4:08 am

Karys

yes...the plan is 2 nights Sydney, 4 nights driving to Brisbane, 4 nights there, then a flight to Darwin for 2 nights then overland trip to Cairns then back to Brisbane

4:08 am

Andree

I just raelised I haven't entered a word for 1/2 hour

4:08 am

Andree

what haz

4:08 am

Haz1558

Can't think of anything offhand, Andreee.

4:08 am

Karys

given up on rankings anyway !

4:08 am

herinfernallady

4:10 am

Haz1558

If babble was a race we would be accusing each other of distraction, but it has been fun. Thank goodness the electricity stayed on otherwise I might never have known about my revised Christmas Day schedule.

4:11 am

Haz1558

Bye Andree and Karys.

4:11 am

herinfernallady

4:11 am

Karys

Haz....I really do think on this occasion, the family must come first !!

spanner

And the need for the big hat.. but its going to be awkward basting the turkey in it...

4:11 am

herinfernallady

4:50 am

Eva

oh damn!

4:51 am

Jacula

Good morning, Eva & Merp. Thank you for the word!:)))

4:51 am

Biltong

Yes, herin, but it would be very expensive and he would have to stay in quarrantine for six months.

4:51 am

Eva

at least usually the words i enter here are complete piffle

4:51 am

Jacula

(I always miss those American spellings on the first grid sweep!)

4:51 am

Eva

Hi Jac-like your lurking cat

4:51 am

Biltong

hi eva

4:52 am

Jacula

Eva - my cat's hiding from Biltong's dog.:)

4:52 am

Eva

and I always miss the British ones

4:52 am

herinfernallady

oh \thats not good. My other halfs parents spent about $10,000 to bring their dog back to australia, she does have an international doggy pasport though

4:53 am

Biltong

where do they come from herin?

4:54 am

herinfernallady

they flew to australia to england then went around europe then back to aus when they wanted to come home, darn dog cost them more than their airfare combinded to return

4:55 am

Biltong

As much as I love my boy, I cannot justify spending that kind of money. Besides, it is not fair to keep them isolated for 6 months anyway. He is better off where he is with my daughter.

4:56 am

metaleather

how do they work things out when they have international dog shows, or other animal exhibitions... I have always wondered about things like that

4:56 am

herinfernallady

oh thats true at least you can visit him, they were looking at living in england then after a year wanted to come home

4:57 am

Biltong

That's a good question metal. Never thought about that.

4:57 am

Andree

1st pe6/21 please

4:58 am

metaleather

it's a type of bird Andree... like the second 6/21, but with the last vowel of the word changed

4:58 am

metaleather

(like the second 6/21 in sound that is)

4:58 am

herinfernallady

um in europe you can get a doggy passport, as for bringing a beast to aus then lots of quarentine, my g/f has a rescue dog as the owners were going to the usa and they were not allowed to export the dog due to its breeding conditions

4:58 am

herinfernallady

sorry andree i didn't have that

4:59 am

metaleather

the dog's breeding conditions?

4:59 am

Andree

thx metal

4:59 am

metaleather

yw

4:59 am

Jacula

Thanks, metal. I hadn't got either pe6 but I have both now.:)

5:00 am

herinfernallady

yep its a french mastiff and male and he had a big 'do not export' on his papers, something to due with his blood line. anyway he got a better onwer.

5:01 am

Biltong

Obviously to avoid cross breeding

5:01 am

metaleather

interesting restriction. it's good he now has a good home.

5:01 am

Jacula

I know the Enable dictionary doesn't allow 'afro' but I still try it every time.:/

5:02 am

Eva

me too

5:02 am

Biltong

same here, Jacula. And every now and then I just check, in case it has changed it's mind, lol

5:03 am

Jacula

LOL, Biltong & Eva. It's not just me then!

5:04 am

Biltong

It's like when you feel peckish and you open the fridge every few minutes, just in case something has appeared or "grown" since you last looked

5:04 am

Mrs Often

Hi all! Just to let you know I just sent Dr God 'the' suggestion that's been lingering for a few days: to add a function where you get a warning asking whether you're sure, if you try to add just one word into the chat

5:04 am

Jacula

Biltong - That sounds more like my son!

5:05 am

Jacula

Hi Mrs Often. Has he replied yet?

5:05 am

Biltong

hi Mrs Often.

5:05 am

Mrs Often

lol, I doubt it, I sent it literally seconds before I started typing my message here

5:05 am

Jacula

I asked him for an edit/delete button years ago but he said it would be difficult due to the site set-up.

5:06 am

Jacula

Things may have changed, though...

5:06 am

herinfernallady

yep and they aren't they aren't a common bred. his sire and the mum was a grand champ he already outweighs his pop. Yes he is in a good home and spoilt rotten, chiro, expensive food, training in security to keep him sane. The are the dumbest dogs about

5:06 am

Tiny

Good Evening Everyone

5:06 am

Andree

hi mrs often

5:06 am

Mrs Often

ah right. well I know he already has a built in warning message when you try to entery an EMPTY message in the chat... so I shouldn't think it's too difficult to add the same if you enter one word...?

5:06 am

Mrs Often

5:06 am

herinfernallady

5:22 am

Wolvie

5:27 am

Jacula

Drat! It won't take 'elvira' my old identity on here.:)

5:27 am

Jacula

I knew it wouldn't but I had to try!

5:28 am

Wolvie

nice try, jac - it takes erica, so what the heck!

5:28 am

Jacula

Yes, but erica is another name for a plant (heather or ling). I think Elvira is just herself. LOL

5:29 am

Wolvie

I know, but still. ;-)

5:30 am

Jacula

I'd have another word if a baby eel was an 'eelet' rather than an 'elver'.

5:31 am

Wolvie

or if one who caught eels were an eeler. :-)

5:32 am

Jacula

Speaking of names - The famous footballer's in here (pe4/5). Never understood why it allows that.

5:32 am

Jacula

Wolvie - true.

5:32 am

Wolvie

me neither, jac. Enable is odd that way. At least to me.

5:33 am

Katydid0615

dictionary.com says it's a variation of what you do to potatos before you fry them.

5:34 am

Jacula

Can't believe I've only just spotted the po4 rhymer!

Jacula

'What Katy Did', Katy.

5:41 am

Haz1558

And What Katy did next.

5:41 am

Jacula

...and 'What Katy Did Next'. By Susan Coolidge.

5:41 am

jazi

:) i love those books

5:41 am

Katydid0615

never heard of it. Katydid was what my dad called me when I was a little bitty girl. I'll have to get them.

5:41 am

Jacula

Snap, Haz. Loved those books.

5:42 am

Haz1558

I read and re-read them as a child. They were wonderful.

5:42 am

Jacula

Katy - I expect that's why he called you that. Yes, you should read them.

5:42 am

Katydid0615

i'll look in the library for them next time i go. The granddaughter might like em.

5:43 am

Jacula

'Little Women', 'Good Wives' and 'Little Men' by Louisa May Alcott enthralled me, too.

5:43 am

majmom

ai 7/40?

5:44 am

Wolvie

radio time majmom

5:44 am

Jacula

majmom - ai7/40 - time given to a record on the radio.

5:44 am

Wolvie

or what a song gets on the radio

5:44 am

Haz1558

What Katy did at school was the other one in the series.

5:44 am

herinfernallady

right that sorted goodnight ill be back in the morning

5:44 am

Wolvie

well folks - must be off to vote, bbl

5:44 am

Haz1558

I can't read the bit where Beth dies in Little Women without floods of tears.

5:44 am

Katydid0615

great! i will definitely check them out.

5:45 am

Wolvie

36 left - leave some good clues for me. :-)

5:45 am

Jacula

Haz - Yes, had forgotten that one. Did you also like the Milly-Molly-Mandy books? I loved the idea of her attic room.

5:45 am

Jacula

Haz - me neither (re Beth).

5:45 am

majmom

ty wolvie and jacula

5:46 am

Haz1558

I read Milly Molly Mandy but don't really remember it too well. Other favourites included Heidi, by Johanna Spyri and of course, Anne of Green Gables and the sequels.

5:46 am

Katydid0615

have a good one wolvie. i'm off myself in about 10 minutes.

5:46 am

Haz1558

Matthew's death is another tear-jerker.

5:47 am

Jacula

Me, too, Haz. MMM books where written by Joyce Lankester Brisley. I still have most of my childhood classic books.

5:48 am

Haz1558

Noel Streatfield was another favourite author.

5:49 am

Jacula

I think I only ever read Caldicott Place, Haz. Noel was a female, did you know?

5:49 am

Haz1558

And someday I must re-read the William books and the Jennings books. I won't revisit Enid Blyton, though. I know where to draw the line!

5:50 am

Jacula

What, not even 'Castle of Adventure' or the Faraway Tree books, Haz?;)

5:50 am

Haz1558

Yes, I knew Noel was a she. 'Ballet Shoe' and 'The Vicarage children' spring to mind; there are probably loads of others tucked away somewhere in my brain.

5:50 am

JFB

The highlight of my visit with my sister who lived in Massachusetts at the time was a trip to the house where Louisa May Alcott wrote her books

5:50 am

Haz1558

It's funny - you come to a point where you realise that Enid just doesn't thrill you any more.

5:51 am

Jacula

JFB - I can imagine! Was it as you expected?

5:51 am

Jacula

Know what you mean, Haz.

5:52 am

JFB

It was great - I could imagine the March family living there.

5:52 am

Jacula

We seem to have started a Babble Reading Circle here! LOL.

5:53 am

JFB

One of the joys of having a daughter is to reread the books you loved as a child with her

5:54 am

Katydid0615

I'm outta here now. have a good day all and see you this evening or tomorrow am. ------> gone

5:54 am

Haz1558

I imagine that babblers are keen on words and therefore voracious readers. Anyway, I must awa' as the Scots would say. I'll be back later to get the remaining 71 words. Bye!

5:54 am

Jacula

64 left here, Haz. See you later.

5:55 am

'Bye Katy. Don't forget to read those books!

ch1212

Just popped in for a sec before going to vote. KARYS -- we just moved here and went to the Alcott house this weekend -- I was so moved I actually cried. Like visiting a childhood friend. My mom collected first editions of Louisa's books, and I grew up with her characters as friends.

6:34 am

Ankhorite

Awww, how nice, Ch1212! We're waiting until 11 to vote, don't want to get trampled.

6:34 am

Tiny, what kind did you endure?

My daughter loved the Betsy-Tacey books when she was little. I would love to plan a vacation around visiting author's birthplaces and such.

6:36 am

Ankhorite

WHOA, Tiny, you are in a truly tiny minority!!! What a narrow escape!!! Congratulations! ! !

6:36 am

ch1212

My daughter is also directing "Little Women" in community theatre in Idaho this December, so I had to buy lots of postcards of the interiors to send her, and some special Alcott souvenirs for her cast members.

6:36 am

SummerRose

Oh,Tiny, God Bless! The books that helped me so much as a teen were "Karen" and "With LOve from Karen"...

6:37 am

Tiny

yes since then I have had a heart attack and a stroke so I am very blessed

6:39 am

SummerRose

I see I've started something!! LOL!

6:39 am

kthdsn

6:39 am

Gail

6:39 am

Ankhorite

Yeah, Rose, but yours was prettier, I should have checked first. Thank you, Gail.

kth - this is our mid term elections for governors and such

6:40 am

Karys

hi and bye ren !

6:40 am

kthdsn

oh ok

6:40 am

Tiny

loom

6:40 am

Ankhorite

KTH, we in the US are voting for many, many offices: some governors, some federal senators, many state representatives and state senators, vast numbers of federal representatives (congress"men")

6:40 am

Tiny

awe shoot

6:40 am

SummerRose

Tiny, check your cursor....

6:40 am

wurdygurl

actually the better description would be we are voting for the lesser of two evils

6:40 am

Ankhorite

It is a hot election because the Republicans currently hold the presidency and both houses of Congress, and may lose one or both houses of Congress.

6:41 am

SummerRose

Amen, Wurdy!

6:41 am

Tiny

sometimes my hands are not as coordinated as I would like them to be

6:41 am

Ankhorite

Or that we HOPE we are voting for the lesser of two evils -- election fraud is expected to be a huge problem.

6:42 am

Ankhorite

Well, Tiny, think we'll cut you some slack, LOL!

6:42 am

kthdsn

there are only two choices?

6:42 am

SummerRose

With all you have been thru, I can understand that! We all do it once in a while..don't sweat it...

6:42 am

Karys

Tiny...you are very young to have had so much to endure.

6:42 am

Ankhorite

KTH, there will usually be three or more listed -- but our smaller parties usually get 2% of the vote or less, and we are winner-take-all, no proportional representation.

6:42 am

wurdygurl

they always say that ank - what we have in America is a bunch of dirty players who are also sore loosers. Run a cleaner campaign...talk about issues instead of who is gay and we might get somewhere

6:43 am

SummerRose

In some places, there are more, but there are two major parties at this time in history, and they both have problems....

6:43 am

sandr

hello hello - how many today?

6:43 am

Tiny

I have had a lot more than I have mentioned

6:43 am

SummerRose

Yeah, Karys, I thought so too -- Tiny, you're only a baby, to have been through so much! 168, Sandr

6:43 am

Tiny

Hi sandr

SummerRose

They are hiding in there...some real obscure ones, and many everyday ones, too...

6:44 am

SummerRose

Want clues, Sandr?

6:44 am

kthdsn

maybe I should learn more about politics, I don't really agree with the whole concept of having a government and so I don't take part in elections, and I don't know much about how it works in britain, let alone america

6:45 am

sandr

i have one 8, but no 7's are there any?

Ankhorite

Oh, dear, Kth.

6:46 am

wurdygurl

I think (and then I will get off my soapbox) that in our country everyone should vote. We have a voice. You mght not like our candidates, but if you don'

6:46 am

wurdygurl

t vote you dont get to complain

6:46 am

sandr

ahh thanks

6:46 am

wurdygurl

I am done now

6:46 am

Uneaixoise

ai7/40 actually has to do with radio rather than flying

6:47 am

kthdsn

in britain more people vote for big brother than the elections

6:47 am

SummerRose

That is so true, Wurdy..I hate it when I see that only 30% of the pop. voted....that's sad...

6:47 am

Tiny

You are allowed an opinion Wurdy

6:47 am

inge

thanks wurdy, if you ever lived in a country where you could not vote freely, you will run to the polls here

6:47 am

SummerRose

Yes, Une, but I was thinking of an airshow....

sorry, back to MY box

6:48 am

Tiny

Inge wrong box

6:48 am

Uneaixoise

ai7/32 is where you leave and arrive

6:48 am

Ragalla

i agree wurdy - if you dont like any of the candidates you should spoil your ballot, at least then your disillusionment/protest is recorded and not mistaken for apathy

6:49 am

sandr

my phantom word is marvel - i keep seeing it

6:49 am

Tiny

me too

6:49 am

SummerRose

and I keep seeing "mavelos"- spelled wrong!

6:49 am

GraceM

this grid is lousy with rodents!

6:49 am

wurdygurl

Actually, I heard someone (wanda sykes I think) saying that you should be appointed to all offices like jury duty. Then you get your summons and you are like "crap! I don't want to be the county commissioner or congressman , or whatever. I thought that was funny

6:51 am

SummerRose

yes, if you include am 5/10 and am 6/21, it is, Grace!

6:51 am

Ankhorite

Some science fiction writer imagined a U.S. where offices are assigned by lot.

6:52 am

wurdygurl

certainly would take away all of the backstabbing and distortion that goes on by both parties. They even attack themselves during primaries and then kiss and make up and crawl right up the winners butt.

6:52 am

wurdygurl

sorry, I did say that I was done didn

6:52 am

wurdygurl

Ankhorite

6:55 am

Tiny

Uneaixoise

6:56 am

Ankhorite

Yeah, Grace, I laughed at that, too, get out the traps!

6:57 am

SummerRose

another pun..how a guy from the Bronx would say "Molar"...

6:57 am

sandr

ahh - thanks all - thats 100 for me. Might be back later for more torture! Have fun all

6:57 am

Uneaixoise

Grand Ole Opry! :-)

6:58 am

Ankhorite

Reminder: if you use Lickety, go hit the websites he has in the bottom right, so he makes a few fractional pennies. It doesn't cover the cost of the site, but it helps. :)

10:20 am

cybernan

10:21 am

hurshy

17

10:21 am

cybernan

you're way ahead of me -- 39 and thinking about going to bj's 2 letter count -- running out of ideas!

10:22 am

hurshy

there've been lots of good clues, so i've rolled along nicely

10:22 am

hurshy

the grid is a bit savir today though :)

10:23 am

hurshy

15

10:23 am

cybernan

savir?

10:24 am

hurshy

haven't you played the enable game yet? it's when you spell words any old way (preferably things that appear in the grid)

10:24 am

cybernan

no -- haven't been around much -- a lot of company over the last 4 weeks.

10:24 am

Haz1558

It's cruelty to spelling, that's what it is.

10:24 am

hurshy

well, it's tres fun

10:25 am

hurshy

lol haz

10:25 am

cybernan

still can't figure out what you meant by savir, though

10:25 am

hurshy

severe

10:26 am

FMitch

LOL Haz that sounds like a line out of My Fair Lady, seomthing Eliza might have said.

10:27 am

Haz1558

Oh dear, it does, doesn't it? I'm not fond of George Bernard Shaw - doesn't so much suggest ideas as hit you over the head with them.

10:28 am

hurshy

lol - that reminds me of my dad, he always used to hit people (not hard) with a Bible and say "the truth hurts"

10:28 am

Haz1558

Wasn't it Shaw who left a considerable amount of money to encourage English to be written phonetically?

10:29 am

Haz1558

He sounds like a wise man, hurshy. Some people should be hit over the head often (not hard)

10:29 am

hurshy

like me for instance!

10:30 am

FMitch

What would Shaw made of mobile text speak?

10:30 am

hurshy

sounds like he'd like it, from haz's description

10:31 am

Haz1558

I hope he would detest it. I think he was opposed to the idiosyncracies of the English language and thought the spelling could be made simpler.

10:32 am

Haz1558

Text speak confined to mobile/cell phones is one thing but examiners are reporting children using it in exams as well!

10:32 am

hurshy

famous female characters in the grid: elvira, leia...

10:32 am

FMitch

I am glad he didn't succeed then as I love the oddities and anomolies that go to make up such a rich and varied language.

10:33 am

Haz1558

I agree, FMitch.

10:33 am

hurshy

me three!

10:34 am

Haz1558

How are you getting on with the grid, FMitch - are you finished?

10:35 am

FMitch

10:36 am

I am democrat as well- but could not in good faith vote for our governor again- and I really can't stand the whole 2 party race- and the green party will hopefully get 1/5 of the vote which will put them on the ballot for next year-

10:52 am

Jacula

Oh my!

11:19 am

bunnyvicious

I need the pe 6/21 to finish please?

11:20 am

Haz1558

Because it relates to Africa, as in Afro-Caribbean.

11:20 am

bunnyvicious

Howdy Cait

11:20 am

gramma

is the pe gas?

11:20 am

cybernan

lol -- that's what I thought, hurshy and jilli also agrees

11:20 am

M3

clue for the fr 6 please x

11:20 am

hurshy

still, it's been a hairstyle for decades - it needs a no cap version for that.

11:20 am

bunnyvicious

Sorry, the first pe 6/21

11:20 am

Jacula

pe6/21 - seabird & pe6/21 vehicle fuel.

11:21 am

Golux13

pe6 is either gas oline or a seabird

11:21 am

cybernan

pe 6 -- a bird -- change last vowel of the gas

11:21 am

caitlyn

Hi bunny!!

11:21 am

Golux13

fr6: chop off the ending of a word for trivial

11:21 am

Haz1558

The first pe6/21 is French for father, then two vowels.

11:22 am

bunnyvicious

I have those two as my last pe 6/21's, but I have a pe 6/21 between to hit and perky. Is it a variation of the gas or bird?

11:22 am

Jacula

bunny - French for father + 2 vowels.

11:23 am

Haz1558

Bunny - take the first three letters of the perky one, then three vowels, all different, ending in the first.

11:23 am

Jacula

Oh, Haz just said that! I must be on a go slow here.

11:23 am

Jacula

Have you finished, btw, Haz?

11:24 am

Haz1558

Yes, I have, Jacula. A bit of a struggle at the end!

11:24 am

I didn't understand the fr 6 clue? Help, please.

11:24 am

Jacula

Congrats, Haz.

11:25 am

bunnyvicious

Yee haw, done (I really need to learn french!!). Thank for your help. It's a pretty day, I'm going out to be destructive. Ya'll have a great afternoon!

11:25 am

Jacula

gramma - fr6 - if you spent money on fripperies you might be told not to be so fr****ous.

11:25 am

Haz1558

The fr6 is usually seen as part of a longer word. F plus the r word meaning enemy or competitor, but change the last vowel.

11:25 am

caitlyn

Bye bunny..have a good day

11:25 am

Jacula

'Bye bunny.

11:26 am

Hi, everyone. Cannot leave this grid until the two "y"s are found. Have the tuber. Cannot monkey the others. Help??

6:57 pm

smooth_pappa

that camera I reccomended seemed the best fit for you, but there are a lot of good cameras in that same style. You may find another that you like better, or is on sale or something. But that style (an EVF) can offer great quality, without tons of money

6:57 pm

Katydid0615

yl+ first two initials of authoress dickinson, then plural

6:57 pm

Thanks again grant. You are a great help.

Ankhorite

Good clues, Summer, I never would have gotten that.

6:59 pm

Katydid0615

yw, have a good evening

7:00 pm

Scarlet

It depends on who does the most damage! I have to look the "y" words up, first. Thanks, again.

7:00 pm

Ankhorite

Thank you, Pappa. I don't understand "EVF"? The only flaws people mention with the P880 are that it's a bit hard on batteries, and that it doesn't have blur protection (jiggle protection).

7:00 pm

Ankhorite

Scarlet, where are you? Which races?

7:00 pm

SummerBreeze44

np :)

7:01 pm

Scarlet

I'm in NC, but am watching the PA races with bated breath, as well as some other key races. The NC races are critical, too. Wooowwweee

7:01 pm

smooth_pappa

EVF is electronic viewfinder... that means that it will capture video as well... and yes, those cameras are not light on batteries.

7:03 pm

smooth_pappa

they offer very high quality (not as good as an SLR with removable lenses) but for the average consumer, it will offer much better quality and features thatn a regular point and shoot, for not all that muiuch more money. They have only the one lens, but they are normally very good quality with an impresive zoom range.

7:03 pm

grant

Breeze44- thanks for bustin' my brain block

7:04 pm

smooth_pappa

but they work sort of like a video camera... the veiwfinder will always be running when the camera is on, and the picture is sort of like the equivalent of a screen shot. that's why they drain batteries quickly

7:04 pm

Ankhorite

Ah, thank you again, Pappa! :) And the video captures all capture sound as well? I note that Kodak sells a lens adapter, so I assume I could add lenses if necessary...but I'm not that good. :)

7:04 pm

Ankhorite

Scarlet, I'm watching PA too, though I live in VA.

:-) I just sent my elder kid to clean half their bathroom -- then the younger can clean his half. I only go in there when I must.

7:41 pm

stidmama

And this same child (the elder) conveniently forgot his math book, so he will not be able to do his homework this evening. His grades are reflecting his attitude, I am afraid.

7:57 pm

Jacula

jilli - I've just had an e-mail from your cat telling me you're scaring the life out of her & so she's hiding under the bed.:)

7:57 pm

bichon

I know about that, thanx

7:57 pm

Jacula

Hi again, everyone.

7:58 pm

Minveryork

Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?

7:58 pm

jillibus

love your icon, jac!!!

7:58 pm

LuwandaHL

jillibus, be careful cats are smarter than you think. s/he is probably secretly cheering on her fav. candidate

7:58 pm

Minveryork

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

7:58 pm

jillibus

hello minveryork and welcome back

7:59 pm

Jacula

jilli - I've been using this icon all day, but it did seem kind of appropriate just.

7:59 pm

Minveryork

Hi jillibus! How are you doing? Did you finish the grid?

7:59 pm

jillibus

oh I know how smart cats are but my poor dear is 17 and rather deaf

8:00 pm

helenkeller

hiya minver, jacula, ankh, jili, et al

8:00 pm

Jacula

'I heard that!' (*from jilli's cat*)

8:00 pm

LuwandaHL

8:00 pm

jillibus

hi hk!!

8:00 pm

Jacula

Hi Minver, Hell etc.

8:01 pm

helenkeller

75 to go here. who's up for a race

8:01 pm

jillibus

ah, but you see, luwanda, she's canadian like me so no vote

8:01 pm

Ankhorite

Okay, more results, remember, no comments other than "Hmmm" and no fighting! CNN now projects that PA, Bob Casey D beats Rick Santorum for Senate.

8:01 pm

Jacula

Can't race you, Hell. I finished at 11:16am site time.

8:02 pm

Katydid0615

gotta run for awhile, bb later to finish the last 25 words!

8:02 pm

jillibus

me me me, helen (I've finished already so I win, ha ha)

8:02 pm

Ankhorite

Okay, more results, remember, no comments other than "Hmmm" and no fighting! CNN now projects Kay Bailey Hutchison R re-elected in Texas; Hillary Clinton re-elected in NY.

8:02 pm

Jacula

See you Katy... and don't forget those books!

8:03 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations on your early finish Jacula! Hooray!

8:03 pm

Tactful tactful Luwanda! :)

8:04 pm

bichon

la 6 anyone

8:04 pm

Jacula

No comment on the elections since I'm in UK and it's none of my beeswax.

8:04 pm

helenkeller

amazing - they are reporting blagoyavich re-elected governer with 1% of the vote in, with him getting 44%, the rep 44% & the green 11% - on 1 % reporting ???? seriously????? must be that stinkin' new math they never covered in my phd level statistics course

8:04 pm

Ankhorite

Jilli, I swear, a deaf cat wouldn't have missed a thing in this electoral cycle.

8:04 pm

Minveryork

Thanks you Eggcorn! Now the chat log is expanded. Oh well!

8:05 pm

Natasha

NPR is reporting that Trent Lott has been reelected and Eliot Spitzer(D) is taking the new york governorship

8:05 pm

Eggcorn

tsk tsk tsk .... swearing on election night?

8:05 pm

Ankhorite

Helen. Get a grip. It's ILLINOIS. They predict all kinds of things based on 1%. Doesn't mean they are right. Adlai Stevenson lost to Jim Thompson there by three-quarters of one point some years back.

8:05 pm

Jacula

Bloomin' chatlog's gone wide now! Reloading didn't help!

8:05 pm

helenkeller

that's not a comment on politics, it is a comment on mathematics :)

8:05 pm

Ankhorite

Mine too, Jac!

8:05 pm

jillibus

now I have to scroll sideways on the chat log - pain in the ar**

8:06 pm

bichon

la 6? please

8:06 pm

herinfernallady

goodmorning

8:06 pm

Minveryork

It should go back to normal after the first wide message leaves the scroll.

8:06 pm

Ankhorite

Helen, math in Illinois politics isn't like math anywhere else in the world.

8:06 pm

Jacula

bichon - la6 - in the hobbling la4/5 fashion.

8:06 pm

Sherylr1961

fireworks

8:07 pm

helenkeller

ankh - i know, i know, it just pisses me off that the talking heads need their air-time when just plain air would be preferred

8:07 pm

herinfernallady

Jilli were you here last night when i went on my finding a bus mission

8:07 pm

Jacula

Well done, Sheryl!

8:07 pm

jillibus

la6 is the adverbial form of the preceding la4/5

8:07 pm

bichon

thanx Jac

8:07 pm

jillibus

YAY sheryl!!!

8:07 pm

helenkeller

jili - me too, what happened, my chat wasn't like this when i started playing?

8:07 pm

Ankhorite

TY, Jilli, for the adverb.

8:08 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations Sherylr1961 on your fireworks! YAY!

8:08 pm

helenkeller

LOL ankh

8:08 pm

Jacula

Hell - it was the long, continous 'hmm' that did it.

8:08 pm

Ankhorite

Helen, someone entered a really long word as a joke and it widened the chat.

8:08 pm

jillibus

don't know, helen -- it suddenly changed and I didn't give it permission -- the cheek!

8:08 pm

Jacula

*continuous

8:08 pm

Minveryork

Somebody entered an EXTRA LONG message in to the log and it expanded the chat log. It has happened before. Should go away after that person message leaves the chat log.

8:09 pm

bichon

leal

8:09 pm

jillibus

so if we use tiny words will it change back?

8:09 pm

Sherylr1961

well night all been a long day, happy hunting

8:09 pm

Jacula

Any long message without spaces will do that.

8:09 pm

Ankhorite

CNN notes Santorum spent 25 million & was #3 in the Senate, and lost in what they are calling "a landslide" against a seriously underfunded opponent.

8:09 pm

herinfernallady

jilli guess what

8:09 pm

Jacula

'Bye Sheryl. Sleep well.

8:09 pm

Natasha

OH Senate race just went to the democrat

8:09 pm

Ankhorite

Night, Sheryl! I wish, Jilli.

8:09 pm

Ankhorite

Who says, Natasha?

8:09 pm

Sherylr1961

night guys

8:09 pm

LuwandaHL

yea sheryl

8:10 pm

Ankhorite

What channel?

8:10 pm

Jacula

jilli - Once eggcorn's message has scrolled off, if should do.

8:10 pm

Natasha

NPR ankh

8:10 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye Sherylr1961! I'll see you tomorrow in the log

8:10 pm

Natasha

sorry, no TV I'm streaming radio on internet

8:10 pm

Minveryork

Okay,the chat log is back to normal again,thank God

8:11 pm

Minveryork

Does anybody have a clue for the po 4/5 word please

8:11 pm

jillibus

phew!!

8:11 pm

stidmama

hello Min! welcome to the grid! :-)

8:11 pm

Minveryork

Actually, I need the third po 4/5 word if you have it.

8:11 pm

Jacula

Minver - po4/5 - rhymer.

8:11 pm

Ankhorite

Okay, more results, remember, no comments other than "Hmmm" and no fighting! CNN says can't tell about Ford Senate race in Tenn, only 11% in. Ill Governor, Blag over Topinka by 45 to 44, but they don't have all precincts. Virginia Senate still too tight to call with about 60% of precincts in.

8:12 pm

herinfernallady

JILLI GUESS WHAT

8:12 pm

jillibus

min - I have 6 po4/5s...

8:12 pm

Jacula

po4/5 - ball game played on the biggest pitch of all ball games (with horses).

8:12 pm

Minveryork

I have that one Jacula,thanks. I need the 3rd po4/5.

8:12 pm

Jacula

Or a brand of mint.

8:12 pm

jillibus

What, herinf???

8:12 pm

Minveryork

Hi stid! How are you doing? I came on just as you left

8:12 pm

Ankhorite

Yeah, but it was funny when Egg did it. Lieberman 49%, Lamont 40%, Republican Schlesinger 10% so far.

8:13 pm

herinfernallady

I might have got the bus for the doggy rescue people

8:13 pm

Minveryork

That was the one I needed Jacula!Thank you so much

8:13 pm

pam

hi, all!

8:13 pm

Jacula

y/w, Minver. Now don't forget to plural it.

8:13 pm

stidmama

hi Pam!

8:13 pm

Natasha

NPR has dems in control of house at this point, repubs in control of senate--lots yet to call.

8:13 pm

Jacula

Hi pam.

8:13 pm

jillibus

Oh, herinf -- I don't think I was there with the bus thing -- please fill me in!!! Something to do with Danes?

8:13 pm

Ankhorite

CNN giving it to Lieberman, who says he will caucus with Democrats.

8:13 pm

Reese\'s

hi everyone! I'm back

8:14 pm

Eggcorn

Be upset with me if you will ..... no need to invoke God ... I have already confessed.

8:14 pm

Jacula

Hello Reese's.

8:14 pm

stidmama

hi Reese's! how did today go for you?

8:14 pm

Ankhorite

Bus -- doggy rescue-- huh?

8:14 pm

Minveryork

Hello Pam & Reese's? How are we doing this fine nite?

8:14 pm

herinfernallady

Oh i thought you were there last night when i went on a bus mission.

8:14 pm

jillibus

Hi Reese's -- I have to leave for a few -- back really soon...

8:14 pm

jillibus

no herinf -- what happened?

8:14 pm

Minveryork

Don't worry Eggcorn, God will forgive your "sin" LOL!

8:15 pm

Ankhorite

Well, *I* thought it was funny, Eggcorn!

8:15 pm

LuwandaHL

hi pam and reese's

8:15 pm

herinfernallady

There is a doggy rescue group in the next state and they need a bus for a puppy room. So I asked a company and they said they might help

8:15 pm

Reese\'s

I have 107 left and my mom is helping me, she signs on to mine while i'm on and helps

8:15 pm

Ankhorite

Awww, nice, Infernal!

8:15 pm

LuwandaHL

cool herin!

8:15 pm

stidmama

good for you, lady!

8:16 pm

stidmama

hi Reese's mom! and go Reese's go!

8:16 pm

jillibus

yes, go on, herinf....I'll stick around for the rest, and good for you!

8:16 pm

herinfernallady

My gran always said the worst thing that anyone can say is no. Also last night i thought 'always look forward, not behind as you can end up bitting your own arse

8:17 pm

pam

i don't know what is more interesting, the grid, House, or the election results, LOL

8:17 pm

jillibus

a "puppy room"? Is that the same as a puppy mill?

8:17 pm

LuwandaHL

good philosohy

8:18 pm

Reese\'s

whats a puppy room or puppy mill for that matter?

8:18 pm

Minveryork

Does anyone have a clue for the or 5/12 word please

8:18 pm

Dorrit

help i can't get the pe6,21's ...

8:18 pm

Jacula

A puppy mill, I imagine, is like a puppy farm.:((

8:19 pm

herinfernallady

god no. They resuce dogs from the pound that have been neglected. Sometimes they get puppys that are pregnant and about to pop. A puppy mill is a horrible place. Reese google it. I cant say it upsets me too much

8:19 pm

jillibus

A puppy mill is a disgusting place where dogs are bred repeatedly with no concern for health or temperament and sold in pet shops

8:19 pm

Reese\'s

like a place where they breed puppies?

8:19 pm

stidmama

a puppy mill is where they breed dogs indiscriminately, and sell the puppies without caring who buys them.

8:19 pm

Jacula

Minver - or + a floppy-eared rabbit.

8:19 pm

Ankhorite

Txs, Jac.

8:19 pm

Jacula

stid - my guess was right then.:(

8:20 pm

stidmama

thanks Jacula, that was the last O on that side for me. Now I need two more ....

8:20 pm

LuwandaHL

pe 6 - my uncle used to call gasoline pe****

8:20 pm

Ankhorite

A "puppy room" is a place within a pound or a kennel where puppies are kept, safe from the larger dogs. A puppy MILL or puppy FARM is a bad place, a puppy room is not.

8:20 pm

herinfernallady

This company also rescues those dogs too. Anyway this is a happy note thing. I hope they get it as it will change the puppies lives

8:20 pm

jillibus

Herinfernal -- did the bus people supply a vehicle? Wherre are the puppies to go?

8:20 pm

Jacula

Dorrit - pe6/21 = French for 'father' + 2 vowels. pe6/21 (next) = seabird. pe6/21 (next) = vehicle fuel.

8:20 pm

Reese\'s

thats cruel and wrong. its discrimination against the poor puppies. :( :(

8:21 pm

rockimggramma

sa 5/16 and so 5/10..pls

8:21 pm

pam

Moreover, puppy mills are known for overbreeding, breeding dogs that are too young and too old, and for poor care

8:21 pm

stidmama

lady, I am glad people are able to rescue the pregnant dogs and their babies. I always wondered.

8:21 pm

Dorrit

ty jacula!!!

8:22 pm

herinfernallady

So anyway i didn't want to bum anyone out. This is good news

8:22 pm

Jacula

y/w, Dorrit.

8:22 pm

jillibus

Meanwhile these unanted puppies are getting little socialisation, etc. Moral -- buy purebred pups from reliable breeders as if you were adopting a child.

8:22 pm

Jacula

rockinggramma - sa5/16 - burst of gunfire.

8:22 pm

Reese\'s

good advice jill

8:23 pm

pam

moral--don't buy dogs and encourage any breeding, go to a shelter and adopt a homeless dog

8:23 pm

Jacula

rockinggramma - so5/10 - French for 'sun'.

8:23 pm

LuwandaHL

i used to drive my dad nuts bringing home strays

8:23 pm

Ankhorite

Never every buy a dog.

8:23 pm

Jacula

pam - my dog came to me as a stray and so did both of my cats. Even most of the rabbits and g/pigs were rescues.

8:24 pm

LuwandaHL

dogs, cats, possums, reccoons, etc

8:24 pm

pam

8-), Jac

8:24 pm

herinfernallady

Stid they have a fox terrier that just had puppys and they have just got in a staffy about to pop. These people are found at www.cordysrescue.com. You will be warned before anypics that are bad.

8:24 pm

herinfernallady

I used to bring home kitties

8:24 pm

LuwandaHL

field mice from the barn

8:25 pm

Ankhorite

If you must have a purebred, go to a breed rescue league, like http://www.mdgsprescue.org for your breed and your region.

8:25 pm

Jacula

so5/10 - gramma - knock the last letter off the French sun. It's really a plural muscle.

8:25 pm

LuwandaHL

injured songbirds and then i would cry when they didn't survive. i'm beginning to understand his frustrations. lol

8:26 pm

Reese\'s

LOL luwanda!

8:26 pm

rockimggramma

got the so 5/10..thnx..but the sa 5/16

8:26 pm

herinfernallady

Luw your poor parents, oh well, i think we need to be kind to animals as you may come back in the next life as one

8:26 pm

rockimggramma

I didn't

8:27 pm

Jacula

rockinggramma - then think of an ointment (or sa***) and change the last letter.

8:27 pm

Ankhorite

My dear dear departed Dog was a puppy mill ho'. They bred her and bred her... she had half champion lines, half puppy mill lines. But Jilli, I understand wanting to buy from a breeder, especially if you show; but I have to rescue my own from a breed league, because I know what happens to them if I don't.

8:27 pm

herinfernallady

sorry if i distructed everyone. Meant to be good news to tell you.

8:28 pm

Jacula

Lots of animals out there with broken lives just looking for love and kindness.

8:28 pm

Ankhorite

Infernal, we're all a buncha softies. :)

8:28 pm

Reese\'s

Hey part of me is in the grid!

8:28 pm

You said it, Ankh!

8:28 pm

Mind you, in the case of my cats, I think it was, 'There's a mug! Let's move in with her!' LOL

8:29 pm

Natasha

Dems just took another house seat--in KY this time.

8:29 pm

rockimggramma

8:29 pm

8:29 pm

Ankhorite

Okay, more results, remember, no comments other than "Hmmm" and no fighting! CNN now projects that moderate R Lincoln Chafee has lost his Senate seat to a Dem named Whitehouse, in Rhode Island.

8:30 pm

stidmama

sorry all, phone rang, but I have been keeping up. I tend to bring home strays, but as I said earlier, my Tom has finally put his foot down. No more "kids" of any kind until the human ones are out of the house!

8:30 pm

herinfernallady

Um does this mean the rebulics are lossing? Sorry to bring up politics

8:31 pm

Reese\'s

LOL luwanda ty too!

8:31 pm

Jacula

herinfern - I answer to all sorts, so don't worry about the 'jack'.;)

8:31 pm

Ankhorite

Infernal, yes, but they have not lost the Senate yet -- still too many races undecided.

8:31 pm

stidmama

lady -- it really is too early to call. The polls don't close here for another hour and a half, a little longer in some of the flooded areas. Hawaii has most of the day remaining!

8:31 pm

herinfernallady

mmm interesting. There is flooding?

8:32 pm

herinfernallady

Gee i need to go read the post

8:32 pm

Ankhorite

But we promised to just report, not make partisan comments, cuz we don't want to do that in chat. But you can always write me @verizon.net to do that!

8:32 pm

My uncle said that this would probably be the best way for you to pick your own name

8:35 pm

Ankhorite

Stid, your icon is HORRIFYING!

8:35 pm

Jacula

It's not like the 'write your name in Russian' link I was sent the other day, is it?

8:36 pm

autumn moon

The first one that shows up has a fill in the blank.

8:36 pm

helenkeller

8:37 pm

8:38 pm

Ankhorite

CNN is also showing a "dirty tricks" ballot on camera re the Steele-Cardin race but if you want details, write to me off-chat @verizon.net.

8:38 pm

stidmama

actually, Ankh -- it's a common sight this time of year! One year, when I was working in the state elections dept I walked around Capitol Lake after parking my car and had to side-step a 2-foot long male...

8:38 pm

Reese\'s

helen- Part of, or most of me, is in the grid today

8:39 pm

Jacula

Hell - my Mum's friend sent the link to me.

lol rees

8:39 pm

Natasha

fa 5/16?

8:39 pm

Jacula

'Bye luw.

8:39 pm

jillibus

just a bit of a plug for reliable purebred dog breeders. None of their pups or adults should ever be available for rescue. If there is a problem with the buyer, the reliable breeder will take the dog back and find a new good home for it.

8:39 pm

Ankhorite

male WHAT, Stid???

8:39 pm

helenkeller

we are all learning the russsian alphabet, LOL

8:40 pm

Hi greengeeny. Someone was asking after you not long ago.

8:40 pm

Ankhorite

^^agrees with Jilli^^ but so many people can't tell the difference between a reputable breeder and a backyard mill... *sigh*

8:40 pm

jillibus

french plural, you mean

8:40 pm

Reese\'s

greengeeny- i was just asking where you were!

8:40 pm

Ankhorite

Can you eat the male salmon? Or only the girls, or does it not matter?

8:43 pm

jillibus

jac? fa6/27 is meaningless according to the dictionary -- so what do you mean?

8:44 pm

greengeeny

An issue about banning smoking in public places...about casinos being in downtown cleveland...raising the minimum wage...

8:44 pm

Jacula

jilli - I was breaking down the word into 2 parts.

8:44 pm

Ankhorite

Reporting, not commenting, exit polls show voters ranked IN THIS ORDER:

8:45 pm

Jacula

However, jilli - fa4/7, alt. spelling fa5/16 & plural 6/27 = A thin Scottish griddle cake made of oatmeal or flour and cut into triangular wedges.

8:46 pm

Jacula

Each wedge is also known as a fa4/7 or fa5/16.

Oh, Jac! Greenfinch! We have goldfinches here; Dog caught one, and when Daddy said "DROP!" she released it and IT FLEW AWAY with one helluva story to tell the other birdies for the rest of its life!

8:57 pm

jillibus

What a Good Dog!

8:57 pm

Jacula

Ankh - sometimes it's possible to do that with the cat, not by saying, 'DROP!', unfortunately.

8:57 pm

Ankhorite

Okay, more results, remember, no comments other than "Hmmm" and no fighting! CNN now projects that Arizona has passed "english as official language" (for our international friends, be advised that there are Native Americans there who don't speak English; and Hispanic immigrants, likewise).

8:57 pm

Ankhorite

Thank you, Jilli. Sorry, Jac. *wince*

8:57 pm

Jacula

Oh dear, Ankh.

jillibus

Hmmm, as a former visitor to AZ with snowbird friends

8:59 pm

Minveryork

Does anyone have a clue for the ar 5/16 word please

8:59 pm

Ankhorite

There are four U.S. Senate races still open; Dems need three to take over the Senate (or need all four, as Lieberman, who has won, ran as an Independent)

8:59 pm

Jacula

Minver - plural of the ar4/7 before it. (Australian slang for 'afternoon/s'.)

9:00 pm

jillibus

ar5/16 is pl of ar4/7

9:00 pm

Natasha

ankh, the VT senator is independent as well--do you know if he's declared which party he'll caucus with? am I getting too political for the chat?

9:00 pm

Jacula

Failing that, it's ar + half of one of the rodents in the grid, but plural.

9:00 pm

jillibus

I had heard it was an aussie word but didn't know what it mwant -- thanks jac!

9:00 pm

Ankhorite

Jac, Jilli, why? What's the etymology on that, do you know? Natasha, he and the Socialist always caucus with the Dems.

9:00 pm

rockimggramma

thnx egg...clues for pl 5/14 and re 5/12..pls

9:01 pm

Jacula

ar5.16 (other one) ar + little Valerie.

9:02 pm

Ankhorite

Okay, more results, remember, no comments other than "Hmmm" and no fighting! CNN now projects that Utah, Orrin Hatch R is re-elected. Cannot predict Montana Senate race yet. Santorum is conceding RIGHT NOW on CNN.

9:02 pm

jillibus

why what, ankh?

9:02 pm

Ankhorite

Jac, I was asking for your comment on Aussie slang, LOL!!!

9:02 pm

Ankhorite

Why does ar** mean afternoon, Jilli & Jac?

9:02 pm

Minveryork

Thank you for the ar clues. Finished my ar words now

9:03 pm

jillibus

jac -- yes, myob, but we in Canada live next to an elephant and if it rolls around we get squished

9:03 pm

Ankhorite

LOL, Jilli, Jac, I wasn't asking you about politics, only about how ar** came to mean afternoon, I swear!

9:03 pm

Jacula

Ankh - Oh. LOL. Sorry! Well, it's just an Aussie thing to add an 'o' to things. Makes sense to me, in a way. There again, I grew up hearing as many Ausies speak as 'Yanks'. No offence meant there.

9:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

bad bad news for us, ankh - to lose the third ranking rep in the senate. this will not bode well and as someone who narrowly kept her job through politcian's fight once - it's bad to lose santorum i think he's an arrogant prig but the alternative was untenable.

9:06 pm

Dorrit

9:10 pm

9:18 pm

Ankhorite

This election is so bitter, I was pretty sure that even the friendliest discussion would wind up hurting feelings, and I didn't wanna go there.

9:18 pm

Jacula

As I said a couple of nights ago, I never discuss religion or politics with friends. I have 2 students of politics in the house (so their Dad and me must've done something right!)

Oh, Temple, I am always grateful for the outside perspective... on anything! That's why I like Babble so much, because Jac and Jilli and all the others tell me about a world I will never see, and hardly ever hear from. I cherish them for that!

Yours are the limbs, my sweeting.

9:36 pm

msilver620

Jacula

What star sign is Jon, Scatty?

9:39 pm

jillibus

Oh, I kept my dad's silver trophies -- they are historical -- eg, a little flask for winning a camel race in Peking (Beijing now) in 1924 -- and I've used it, too

9:39 pm

helenkeller

I'm an aries

9:42 pm

Jacula

My son's a Gemini, as is my Mum. They pretend not to be sentimental or 'soft' but they are. You just have to dig to find it sometimes.

9:42 pm

Jacula

msilver - my 'ex' was an Aries.

9:42 pm

scatty

my 2 oldest are cancer and my 16 year old was born in April21st, not sure what he is

9:42 pm

jillibus

my granddaughter is gemini -- lovely but ups and downs

9:43 pm

Jacula

I've not gone far from cloven-hooved ones for my present (for life, I hope) partner though; he's a Capricorn.

9:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

may i have a clue for ly 5 please? ty

9:43 pm

jillibus

dear dreamy son is cancer

9:43 pm

scatty

i have always said that jon was born without any simpathy

9:44 pm

Jacula

My daughter's an Aries and she is as difficult at 19 as her Dad was at that age. I realise, if she's like him, that she will be 50 before she settles into herself.

9:44 pm

jillibus

ly + it's only a ph***

9:44 pm

scatty

ly is the same as the 4 la

9:44 pm

ty jili - are yo in western ca? sorry i don't know much about the area you are from. actually never heard of it before i met you.

9:45 pm

lo6 is plural of the 5

9:45 pm

Erda

but I don't have the 5/10..............

9:45 pm

jillibus

TO - I'm in British Columbia, as west in Canada as you can get, just north of WA

9:46 pm

scatty

short for toilet

9:46 pm

Eggcorn

lo 5 skip to my lo*, for example abbr

9:46 pm

scatty

lo+ 3 vowels

9:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

explains the time difference- in the vicinity of calgary, alberta?

9:46 pm

Jacula

lo6/18 = plural of lo5/10. LO5.10 = British word for 'toilet' + 2 vowels. (Sounds like a French Sun king & plural.)

9:47 pm

jillibus

lo5/10 rhymes with phooey but isn't spelt that way

9:47 pm

Reese\'s

I'm finally back, had to go take care of my three little nephews

9:47 pm

9:48 pm

kakamolaka

ly word?

9:48 pm

Jacula

Scatty - your april 21st baby is a Taurus, just about. Same birthday as our Queen here in UK. Hitler, who was end of Aries, had his birthday on April 20th.

9:48 pm

Erda

How about Va4/7 (not the flower container...)

9:48 pm

Crone

try a different vowel ending

9:49 pm

Uneaixoise

same word, different vowel at end

9:49 pm

Eggcorn

so anyone born a taurus is a hitler wannabe?

9:49 pm

scatty

same as flower container but put 1st vowel on the end

9:49 pm

Uneaixoise

bye, jillibus!

9:49 pm

9:50 pm

scatty

i'm off to bed as well, have a stinking cold and sitting here isn't doing me any good, night everyone, see you tomorrow

9:51 pm

Jacula

Egg - possibly! The Ariens I've known are far more likely for that one, though. Anyway, it depends where all the other planets were placed when you were born.

9:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

night, scatty

9:52 pm

as an Aries, we are the least likely of all the signs to be dishonest

9:53 pm

stidmama

hi TO, April, all!

9:53 pm

renfield

hey owl!!! and mistress!!!

9:53 pm

Jacula

April - true! Too honest at times. Mind you, my ex was very dishonest for a very long time.

9:53 pm

Eggcorn

and, of cours, hilter epitomized honesty

9:53 pm

AprilD

yes indeed Ren

9:54 pm

AprilD

no one I know would ever call me dishonest, but a bit too harsh or upfront, yes

9:54 pm

Jacula

So was my Arian daughter, as she starved herself almost to death and hid it.

9:54 pm

Eggcorn

I expect someone must have moved his stars?

9:54 pm

Jacula

Too heavy that last post.

9:54 pm

Jacula

Forget I typed it.

9:54 pm

AprilD

doesnt sound honest, or a typical aries to me

9:55 pm

AprilD

I know Geminis to be the hitlers in my life

9:55 pm

renfield

foroitten! erase erase erase

9:55 pm

AprilD

we all know some a typical signs though, or TOO typical

9:55 pm

tndaisy1960

Jac, my daughter went thru that too.

9:56 pm

Jacula

April - funy you should say that because that's exactly how my daughter thinks of her Geminian brother.

9:56 pm

Eggcorn

what you say sounds result oriented ... find the intended result and then find support ..... ignoring all else

9:56 pm

Jacula

daisy - then you know what I mean.

9:56 pm

AprilD

my best friend being a Gemini, my husbands Ex, and my ex husbands ex

9:57 pm

Jacula

Ren! Forgot to say hello. Forgive me!

9:57 pm

tndaisy1960

yes, I do. I didn't know how bad it was bcs I had already left TN for Calif....

9:57 pm

Erda

Egg, I cannot get it from your clue: Te5/10 again please???

9:57 pm

renfield

so k mistress! i know you love me! sometiems i'm like those flys i love - i jsut buzz around!

9:58 pm

stidmama

careful April, we Geminis could take offense at your broad mis-characterization...

9:58 pm

tndaisy1960

but Megan told me later that part of it was happening right under my nose. not that she blamed me in any way. I was just so caught up in my (present) relationship that I didn't pay attention.

9:58 pm

Jacula

My best friend is a Capricorn, like my partner is. She gets above herself at times and her present partner (Taurean, like myself) calms her, like I do, or once did on a daily basis.

9:58 pm

and as we Aries could take the 'dishonest' implications personally, but I don't, since it is a personal experience. Like I said, we each know extremes or unliklies in the signs

I've been functioning with a broken arm for about 6 weeks, apparently. My pain threshold must be higher than I thought it was. Not going to let them rebreak it now, though! Oh no!

Smaller bone at rear of arm... makes a nasty cracking sound if I rotate arm in either direction. Putting handbag back on shoulder/unzipping handbag etc., hurts. But I've been carrying stuff with aforementioned arm.

10:08 pm

10:08 pm

If I lift arm up, have to help it back down with other arm. No, faerie (Hi, BTW) it doesn't urt as much as my broken toe did.
