night flosey and nan

1:23 am

mymuseisme

nite nan

1:23 am

Angb

Look people. I think Enemy has a point, and perhaps its not a good thing to have a go at him/her. As I see it, you say no politics, but in fact the rules you are suggesting "exist" are in a way the same sort of thing. Obviously enemy has strong feelings about these sort of issues. I think I have the gist of it - I fell rather sad that someone would get so upset by what is usually a nice chat log.

1:23 am

jillibus

What rules? What point?

1:23 am

mrpresident

ang... enemy was rude yesterday and is the same today... whatever

1:23 am

Kate44

nite nan and flosey

1:23 am

mamabear

is politics what this is all about ?

1:24 am

renfield

the pointy end of a stick?

1:24 am

renfield

nite nan!

1:24 am

hurshy

if i have understood this correctly, enemy was kindly defending my right to talk about politics in the chat, yes.

1:24 am

helenkeller

i talk politics in here all the time - i like to talk politics - i've had some great conversations in babble about politics AND religion, imagine that

1:24 am

EnemyisME

mrP I was not rude yesterday

1:24 am

jillibus

oh

1:25 am

EnemyisME

you show me where I was rude

1:25 am

chic

I don't do politics of any sort; they are all criminals...

1:25 am

renfield

arrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhh

1:25 am

EnemyisME

I absolutely was not rude yesterday

1:25 am

mrpresident

check you manners with lickety

1:26 am

EnemyisME

you are a liar

1:26 am

mrpresident

so, onto bigger and better stuff... who needs clues :)

1:26 am

hurshy

while i often prefer the subtle approach, it often causes one's points to go completely unnoticed

1:27 am

renfield

arrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhh

1:27 am

Ankhorite

I stay off of anything I think is making anyone uncomfortable.

1:27 am

EnemyisME

I will talk to lickety anytime and you simply are a liar

1:27 am

mamabear

enemy - we might have diferences of opinon in here, but name calling is tabu

1:27 am

mrpresident

oh ren! fear not! I can defend myself!

1:28 am

bundy

it's easy to misunderstand text but i will go for the change of topic ---- what does the 8 start with?

1:28 am

helenkeller

rut-roh

1:28 am

Ankhorite

*wince*

1:28 am

hurshy

ren, on the other hand, prefers repetition, a highly effective method

1:28 am

mamabear

bundy - it starts with an F

1:28 am

bundy

thanks mamabear - cute nick btw

1:28 am

mrpresident

In Parliament if someone calls another member a liar, he or she is escorted out.

1:36 am

Ankhorite

Enemy, I'm sorry you're hurt and I'm really sorry that MrP and Lickety are being hurt; I hope you'll change your mind.

1:36 am

jillibus

is this about someone grousing about not getting lickety's clues soon enough yesterday?

1:36 am

EnemyisME

they are liars

1:36 am

Scarlet

This is absurd. From an extraordinary game to flinging feces in the sandbox. This is/was enjoyable, and I'm nauseated by the venom. Goodnight.

1:36 am

Morning dear gang... what's happening here?

1:36 am

Born in Arizona, got a condo made of stona.....

1:37 am

renfield

hey sprite!

1:37 am

hurshy

ahem... at the risk of being... something...
while enemy has been brusque,
i believe there has been commensurate condescension,
and therefore, perhaps, if we would all apologize for our respective existences
it might
so to speak

1:37 am

hurshy

clear the air

1:37 am

rockimggramma

thnx Angb...got the clue

1:37 am

Ankhorite

I do!

1:38 am

1:38 am

chic

it's getting trollish in here...

1:38 am

hurshy

i'll go first. i am sorry

1:38 am

This kind of nonsense is rare, thank goodness

1:39 am

Calm down people. This is a good community. And a bit of miscommunication is normal every now and then in the best of companies...

1:39 am

mamabear

it is not, Scarlet..... this too shall pass. Please don't let it change your enjoyment of the game as well as the usual friendly chat

1:39 am

rockimggramma

could I pls get a clue for ta 7/32?

1:39 am

Ankhorite

Me, too, Scarlet, I think it's a one-time thing; someone misunderstood something, said something, and then things got harsh. Here's hoping it gets better.

1:39 am

Angb

Scarlet it happens seldom.I think most people think about other people feelings. But it misunderstandings can happen in text logs.

1:40 am

mrpresident

everyone here is lovely! love you all... (people who call me a liar are on the outer!! :))

1:40 am

1:59 am

mkl

Hey all. Anything exciting going on?

1:59 am

jillibus

I don't want to know how they harvest caviar!

yummmmmie, Ankh - thanks :)

2:04 am

jillibus

Ankh -- nice new icon, but -- arctic animals today's theme????

2:04 am

DRBERNABO

Took me long enough to realize there is the name of a US Senator in the grid. Its only the state next door. Sigh.

2:04 am

Ankhorite

No, I'm off by a week. I'm trying to find a proper icon for today, in between fetching tofu dogs and pudding and whatnot for the crowd in the hot tub.

2:05 am

Ankhorite

Oh, Bernabo, what IS that? A... a dark sapphire? superdark topaz?

2:05 am

Ankhorite

YW, Sprite. :)

2:05 am

jillibus

sorry, ankh -- forgot you were so busy with the bathing bunch

2:05 am

sprite

Dr, don't feel bad, it is perfectly okay for babblers to be blind for the obvious. Goes with the territory... or something.

2:06 am

Kate44

***********fireworks***********

2:06 am

DRBERNABO

I'm not sure of the type of gem, I just know its a titanic one...

Txs, Bernabo, it's gorgeous... hmm. Not the Hope Diamond, surely?

2:08 am

sprite

It is pretty, DrB :)

2:08 am

Ankhorite

I bet is is, and I feel like a dunce for not recognizing it. It's right down the street from my old apt.

2:09 am

DRBERNABO

Think of Kate Winslet wearing just this diamond

2:09 am

sprite

I rest my case about the blind to the obvious thing, Anhk ;)

2:10 am

sprite

*hands DrB a towel to keep from drooling on his keyboard*

2:29 am

jillibus

2:31 am

Ankhorite

A desperate hamster will do a lot to lose weight, Jilli!

2:31 am

jillibus

Ankhorite

Awww...sheesh... poor Lickety! Poor you!

2:47 am

Ankhorite

Enjoy, Lynxxx...

2:48 am

mrpresident

kthdsn

my husband didn't come home from work last night and I don't know where he is

5:18 am

FranMag

has he done that before?

5:19 am

kthdsn

he doesn't have a cell phone, the phone at the pub he works in was cut off and I can't find numbers for any of his friends

5:19 am

kthdsn

no fran it's not like him at all

5:19 am

sprite

Argh! That is not nice. Did you have a fight? Or is he missing without any reason?

5:19 am

lynxxx

oh kate - he probably just had too much to drink and is sleeping it off somewhere.

5:19 am

kthdsn

he's not at the police station or the hospital, I can't think why he would stay out without calling

5:20 am

kthdsn

I've had 3 hours sleep and I'm in a bit of a panic

5:20 am

Ankhorite

*trots in to hold Kth's hand*

ty ank

5:20 am

Ankhorite

Surely, if it were an accident, the police would have called by now. So I'm with Lynxx, perhaps he is sleeping it off.

5:21 am

sprite

That's not something we can cheer away for you... I pray for you all is well. You keep talking to us for as long as you like, to keep a hold on the panic.

5:21 am

FranMag

i'm with lynxxx, he's probably at a friend's house

5:21 am

Ankhorite

Kth, are we tying up your phone line?

5:21 am

kthdsn

I guess so, it's just out of character for him and it's so easy to worry

5:21 am

Ankhorite

And I'm lost, what time is it where you are?

5:21 am

kthdsn

no ank, broadband

he works in a pub, usually home by 3am at the very latest

5:22 am

Ankhorite

Well then... the pub's cleaning crew might be in by now?

5:22 am

FranMag

does he drive or walk home?

5:23 am

kthdsn

I don't think they have a cleaning crew, he walks home we don't have a car

5:23 am

Ankhorite

*keeps patting Kth's hand*

5:23 am

sprite

any friend living near the pub who can go take a look for you?

5:23 am

Ankhorite

And with your three girls, you can't go look. Hmm. Is the pub near a shop; if so, could you ask them to look in?

5:24 am

FranMag

how far is the pub?

5:24 am

lynxxx

He may even be doing another shift at the pub Kate. He'll turn up or contact you soon I am sure.

5:24 am

kthdsn

it's not far away but I don't want to leave the house in case he comes back and I've locked him out

5:25 am

Ankhorite

Lock him out! Leave a note on the front door, telling him you & the girls have run to the pub and will be right back.

5:26 am

Ankhorite

Perhaps a neighbor would stay by your phone for you?

5:26 am

kthdsn

I'd rather stay here with nice company to be honest, I'm probably just being silly

5:26 am

kthdsn

we don't have any nice neighbours lol

5:26 am

sprite

I can understand your worry if he always lets you know if he is going to be late. Perhaps he thought you'd be asleep by now and did not want to wake you?

5:26 am

Ankhorite

*pat-pat, pat-pat*

5:27 am

kthdsn

probably sprite, thanks for being here everyone

5:28 am

kthdsn

I'm going to look for some words, take my mind of worrying, he's a late sleeper so if he is at someone's house sleeping it off he won't have woken up yet

5:29 am

Ankhorite

*pat-pats some more and starts to snore a bit herself*

5:29 am

sprite

*yells in a kind but very sharp voice: "Wake up, you dork, your wife is worried!*

5:30 am

kthdsn

5:30 am

kthdsn

I managed a smile :)

5:30 am

sprite

well done :)

5:30 am

Ankhorite

*is not herself roused by Sprite's stern tone; schlumps over and begins to snore more loudly*

5:31 am

sprite

Ah well, can't work for everyone... but let me see... you don't HAVE a wife, now have you, Ankh? You probably did not feel spoken to :)

5:32 am

lynxxx

schlump? that word would fit nicely with the other weird words in this grid

5:32 am

sprite

I think I need those weird words, don't have any schlump like words yet.

5:32 am

kthdsn

eeerrrr the weird lady over the road just threw a load of rubbish on the grass

5:33 am

sprite

how dare she!

5:33 am

Ankhorite

*snores on, disregarding*

5:34 am

kthdsn

she's an old asian lady, she comes outside and pours he cooking fat down the drain, and she throws bread crumbs for birds, but she through a load of paper and stuff too this time

5:34 am

sprite

*wonders if she is being ignored by Ankh - considers working on her tone*

5:38 am

Ankhorite

Urf? urrpmf?

5:39 am

sprite

Now there's a good girl - wanna beer?

5:39 am

Ankhorite

Kth, you're going to just have to imagine me holding your hand cuz I really am falling asleep here. Sprite, you're closer to her time zone, right?

5:39 am

Ankhorite

*considers whether hamsters like beer for breakfast*

5:40 am

sprite

I am and I am here. You go have a good sleep and hamster back to us later :)

5:40 am

kthdsn

5:40 am

Ankhorite

5:40 am

Ankhorite

5:41 am

sprite

Ankhorite

I don't know anyone close by and I don't have any phone numbers for anyone he might be with

6:54 am

gramma

kate, call family, friends whoever you need to and find that guy! The police should be told he's missing.

6:55 am

ren8

I don't know how you are staying so calm I would be doing my pieces by now, you have to find a way to find him

6:55 am

Flossy

6:56 am

jean1953

kthdsn ive just read your chat, keep your faith that he will return and hang on in there as they say

6:57 am

Flossy

Too far from me to help sorry

6:57 am

kthdsn

I'm pretty sure he's just gone out drinking and crashed at someones house, he might still be sleeping, it's just worrying not being able to contact him

6:57 am

jean1953

yes too far from somerset as well unfortunatley

6:57 am

Jacula

Hi, just returned. Katie - no 'phone at the place where he works?

I don't know, I've only walked past it a couple of times

7:01 am

Jacula

Is it far from where you live, Katie?

7:02 am

kthdsn

like blood said, he's probably trying to get up the courage to face me lol

7:02 am

kthdsn

no it's just down the road but I don't want to leave in case he calls or comes home, he left his keys behind

7:02 am

caitlyn

7:05 am

jean1953

Anniebrook

hi pam

8:08 am

mattygroves

Hey Kate - thinking of you. Where are you based - anything I can do to help?

8:08 am

Anniebrook

I am assuming that there is no way you can reach him (cell phone). Perhaps he is with a friend, is there anyone you can call to help you?

8:08 am

kthdsn

thanks matty I don't think there's anything you can do, it's nice to know you all care though

8:09 am

kthdsn

I have the number of the woman who gave him a list to work but she's not answering, and I have no other way of contacting him or anyone he knows

8:09 am

ExWren

What about his family, have you contacted them?

8:09 am

mattygroves

Or his boss?

8:10 am

kthdsn

no I wouldn't want to worry his family they live far away and don't travel, his boss has no phone it was cut off

8:10 am

Wolvie

wow. bad deal, kth

8:10 am

sunny09

any of his friends?

8:11 am

kthdsn

I don't have any numbers or addresses for them sunny

8:11 am

sunny09

would someone have called you if he didn't show for work

8:11 am

kthdsn

yeah

8:11 am

mattygroves

I'd phone his family, Kate, really - you must be frantic, and maybe he's contacted him. What about the police?

8:12 am

kthdsn

I'm assuming he must be alright because people he works with all have our number so they would have called

8:12 am

kthdsn

I tried the police and the hospital he's not at either

8:12 am

majmom

has he ever done this to you before

8:12 am

Anniebrook

keep trying the woman who gave him the work list...I cant imagine how you feel...

8:12 am

kthdsn

no it's very out of character

8:12 am

Anniebrook

how late is he?

8:13 am

kthdsn

did I say list, I meant lift

8:13 am

mattygroves

Really - phone his family. If he's contacted them, you'll know something, and if not, they may have ideas of who to contact.

8:13 am

majmom

oh lord you must be frantic-how long since he should have been home?

8:13 am

kthdsn

12 hours now, he wouldn't have called his family without calling me, I don't want to worry them they are old and frail

8:14 am

Wolvie

12 hours? holy cow. you must be sick with worry. Wish I could help you kt

8:14 am

mattygroves

How are your kids? Are they aware?

8:14 am

Alien

I read back thru the blogs, I am sorry to hear about your husband being late home Kthdsn. Do you think he could still be at work, getting extra hours in?

8:14 am

Anniebrook

kth, that is a long time, call the hospitals and the police again. wish I was there with you

8:15 am

kthdsn

they're 6, 4 and 2, my eldest knows something is wrong but the other two think he's still at work

8:16 am

pam

is there someone you know near the bar that you can ask to go take a peek?

8:16 am

mattygroves

What does your husband do?

8:16 am

kthdsn

he's a barman

8:16 am

kthdsn

he should have been home around 2/3am

8:16 am

mattygroves

Where are you based - are you in/near London?

8:17 am

kthdsn

yorkshire

8:17 am

majmom

are you far from the work place-go for a walk and take the kids and check it out

8:17 am

kthdsn

I don't want to miss him if he calls, I daren't leave the phone

8:18 am

Anniebrook

is the bar open yet? call and speak to his boss or one of the workers and find out if something happened at the bar

8:18 am

Wolvie

wow, kth - I'll bbl to check on you - must be off for awhile

8:18 am

Mom

TIme to scoot off and get busy.
Kate, take care and I will be thinking of you and your children.

8:18 am

majmom

how about neighbors ask one to come over to man phone-and walk or cab to the bar

8:18 am

ch1212

kthdsn, you might try calling one of the businesses near the bar and ask them to pop their head in to see if someone there remembers seeing him leave, or if he's still there.

8:19 am

LuwandaHL

would the police would drive by the bar and check for you?

I would think that luwanda's suggestion makes sense, surely the police could do that???

8:21 am

kthdsn

I don't know, I feel like if I call the police again I have to admit that something hideous might have happened and I don't want to think that...

8:21 am

Alien

Kth, you need to contact the police again. Did you leave them your number in case they heard anything?

8:22 am

kthdsn

Really, Kate - call the police and leave them your number, call his family and see if he's contacted them, and get a friend to swing by the bar. At least then you're actively doing something. The not knowing must be horrible!

put a covering on the leather furniture!

10:27 am

hurshy

you just have a kitten - they aren't usually interested in smooth things.

10:27 am

gailinrb

you give it something else to scratch, and praise it when it does.

10:27 am

72 Temple Owl

change to fabric ones?

10:27 am

inge

That black singer came from Detroit, she attended the HighSchool for Performing Arts right behind Orchestra Hall, I saw her perform in their annual assem bly

10:27 am

tndaisy1960

suggestion for clue for that al 5/14: black singer who was in Queen of the Damned :) it was her last movie

10:28 am

hurshy

no no fabric would be much more scratchinteresting

10:28 am

pam

hi, hurshy....

10:28 am

gailinrb

and,it helps to keep the nails trimmed, too. that's easy to do if you get the kitten accustomed to it early.

10:28 am

rolin

lol..TO...do you know how long i have wanted leather furniture??..

10:28 am

pam

same here, cliffopa.

10:29 am

my cats try to scratch fabric but they don't try to scratch smooth wood - i really think they would not care about leather. and even the fabric they aren't too bad about, they mostly use their scratching posts.

10:29 am

that is not a clue its putting a word in the grid

10:49 am

melonheadjujube

oh, how to choose? back in a bit.

10:49 am

EnemyisME

well, scarlet, if you are implying I am such an individual..... you are entitled to your opinion .... I am sure you are much more accomplished at accepting accusations that are untrue. Now, I will never speak about this agiain.

10:51 am

hurshy

may i just say, if one person does become a bit brusque, when others respond unkindly or condescendingly and dismissively, the situation does not tend to improve.

10:51 am

Cathyar

well enemy...scarlet and anyone else involved in this seeming finger-pointing session. all i can say is freedom of speech also exists in babbleland. no need for harsh feelings here...people say what they think and we are ALL entitled to do so. lets just move on and ALL be babble friends

10:52 am

mattygroves

Oooh, what have I missed?

10:55 am

enemy began by very kindly defending my right to talk about politics. the responses were not altogether ideal, and enemy became brusque, and a large amount of Fundamental Attribution Error took place.

10:57 am

Cathyar

that's cool hursh...if others don't wish to discuss politics while others do, they do not need to chat about it... prob there were others who did not wish to discuss politics and they could easily have discussed other things ....it's a large chat log...plenty of room for everyone''s discussions

10:58 am

chj

pa6/21 the sheen on a surface when it ages

10:58 am

hurshy

10:59 am

Cathyar

gotta hate it when that happens, huh?

10:59 am

hurshy

one troll is manageable, but a whole classroomful...

10:59 am

EnemyisME

There are a lot of nice people here, I wll miss you.

10:59 am

Cathyar

10:59 am

mattygroves

2:26 pm

phandmd

2:26 pm

Haz1558

It lends itself to being shouted, that's for sure.

2:26 pm

a character played by lady elaine fairchild

2:28 pm

Karys

Hoot...it's the sometimes 'strange' words that appear quite often here

2:28 pm

hurshy

mkl - the third letter is NOT a vowel.

2:28 pm

Haz1558

Well, I was happy with lunch. There were 10 of us, three courses and some second helpings requested, so I think satisfaction all round.

2:29 pm

Karys

2:29 pm

Karys

there are 2 Flask....do you have either of the ta6's ?

2:35 pm

ren8

Hi Annie

2:35 pm

hurshy

but karys, they are pleased. there is a fallacy that if one enjoys pleasing people, it's somehow not as good as if one did things for others without wanting to, but i do not agree with this. getting pleasure through giving it to others is a very high good.

2:35 pm

Anniebrook

does anyone know if kth's husband came home from work? He was 12 hours late and she was frantic and we were all concerned for her

2:36 pm

Karys

2:36 pm

hurshy

(duh hurshy, if you called it a fallacy, obviously you don't agree with it, you redundant girl you)

2:37 pm

Flask1

no I don't Karys....but Its not the one with pots and pa**s

2:37 pm

Anniebrook

Karys, thank you! hurshy thank you! can you tell me the errant husband's excuse.

2:37 pm

Haz1558

It is - I enjoy the making of the food, the setting of the table, the look on people's faces when they see the table, the comments when they enjoy the food.

2:38 pm

hurshy

i do not know if that is collapsed as in heart attack or as in mental block unable to do work.

2:38 pm

hurshy

last sn - sh6/33 minus the h

2:38 pm

7:02 pm

garyandjulie

smoked for 11 years before that

7:02 pm

smooth_pappa

I know all the literature, and the aides... but it is soooo hard!

7:02 pm

jillibus

yw enom

7:02 pm

spanner

So did I 12 years ago

7:03 pm

Jacula

smooth - Me and Paul almost did last week whilst unable to breathe due to the Dreaded Lurgey.

7:03 pm

garyandjulie

just stopped, hard it was but when I had a brain tumor and it was removed decided life was to short to smoke

7:03 pm

Enomis65

any clue for the sh 7?

7:03 pm

garyandjulie

saying that my husband can't do it smooth. he has taken drugs, chewed gum, worn patches and no joy for him

7:03 pm

spanner

Smooth, I have to say it rates high amongst the best things I ever did.

7:04 pm

helenkeller

jacula - what is the dreaded lurgey? that's what bus calls a hangover cause his dad used to say it

7:04 pm

Jacula

We seem to be smoking again now though.:( Allan Carr's book is very good - gives you good reasons to stop and stay stopped. I did try hypnotism but that made me smoke more!:(

7:04 pm

smooth_pappa

ahhhhh... I was almost killed in an accident a few years ago, but that made it even harder... at that time (and I know its dumb) I felt like since life could end at any minute, why stop something that will kill me decades from now

7:04 pm

jillibus

smoooth -- I quit in 1989 after about 47 years of smoking, and I'm glad!

7:04 pm

smooth_pappa

My dad was a doctor... I know all the reasons, and have seen the pictures... and ahave tried the gum... but it is so hard to give it up

7:05 pm

spanner

I did the stop dead and cold turkey method. It was hard but short and sweet.

7:06 pm

Jacula

Hell - The Dreaded Lurgey is whatever cold/cough/flu bug is doing the rounds and felling everyone. It's symptoms vary, depending on which DL it is.

7:06 pm

smooth_pappa

I need to just buckle down and do it

7:06 pm

helenkeller

lol - tx jac!

7:06 pm

Jacula

AArgh! Greengrocer's apostrophe! 'Its symptoms...'

7:06 pm

garyandjulie

not dumb smooth. We all react differently. It's finding what works for you best

7:06 pm

spanner

My kids all smoke, and have all used various methods to stop, but i think in the end youve just got to take a big breath, hold your balls and jump into the void

7:07 pm

jillibus

years ago, smooth, CBS ran a TV program on WHY you smoke -- in my case it was (blush) oral gratification mostly. So I used Nicorette gum (there were no patches then and anyway, they're not oral) and a fake cigarette called Paipo which dragged like a real one and had a refreshing menthol flavour.

7:07 pm

smooth_pappa

i think you're right spanner

7:07 pm

LeslieAnn

that's how you did it spanner? held your balls and jumped into the void?

7:08 pm

Jacula

smooth - I have every sympathy because my smoking habit is as entrenched as yours. I'm determined to try again soon though. We saved so much money not smoking last week!

7:08 pm

Enomis65

Please help, I have ONE left : so 6/18... Can't seem to find it

7:08 pm

Jacula

LOL - Yes, and spanner now has a pink 'handbag' icon. *grins*

7:08 pm

garyandjulie

Never gave any thought to why I smoked Jilli.

7:08 pm

spanner

Its hard I know, cause Ive been through it, but i couldnt do with the fannying around. You are either smoking or youre not

7:08 pm

mirandapan

My husband has been chewing nicorettes for 10 yrs! He's a chain-chewer, but the docs say at least he's not putting smoke in his lungs.

7:09 pm

spanner

Methephorically speaking...

7:09 pm

featherbee

ok, i have another no 4/4 that i can't see. no clue why these are giving me such trouble! anyway, the one after the no5/14?

7:09 pm

Jacula

Enomis - add a vowel to the end of the so/10 before it.

7:09 pm

jillibus

That's what was so good about that program -- it had a quiz which helped determine your reasons. I wish they would do it again.

7:10 pm

spanner

I really smoked...loved it. But you know it was worth giving up, if only from a financial point of view

7:10 pm

Enomis65

TY Jacula - I just found it *******FIREWORKS********

7:10 pm

Jacula

Well done, Enomis!

7:11 pm

7:12 pm

spanner

Jacula am i allowed to ask where you live in worcestershire?

7:12 pm

Enomis65

feather - french no + 1st vowel

7:12 pm

Jacula

jilli - I have one of those fake ciggies that drag. Had it years. I thought about using that + patches. Also have a thing you sniff (called Logado). Don't know if you can still get it now but it gives you the same kind of hit the first drag of a cigarette gives you. Very useful for short term cravings (whilst in a non-smoking place).

7:12 pm

smooth_pappa

I wish I could go a week, jac.

7:13 pm

featherbee

thank you enomis!

7:13 pm

featherbee

and jilli, didn't see you there

7:13 pm

spanner

Smooth have faith. When the time is right for you, then you will do it

7:13 pm

Jacula

smooth - I'd be lying if I said I didn't smoke at all last week. But, how stupid, carefully forcing a fag down me, trying not to inhale, when I could hardly breathe without coughing anyway, just to satisfy the nicotine demon inside.

7:14 pm

Enomis65

well people it's been nice but I have to make lunches, baths, stories, etc... See you tomorrow night!

7:14 pm

jillibus

I haven't seen one of those fake ciggies for ages -- they were such a good crutch

7:14 pm

spanner

Bye Enomis

7:14 pm

LeslieAnn

Yup, just outside malvern

7:15 pm

7:15 pm

Jacula

'Bye, enomis.

7:15 pm

spanner - We used to go walking on the Malverns when we had the dog.

7:16 pm

spanner

Jac which village

7:16 pm

Jacula

Have you heard of the Lickey Hills, spanner?

7:16 pm

jillibus

spanner and jac -- I went to Malvern Grils' College briefly, but the buildings had been taken over in Sept 1939 because of the war so the school was in Somerset!

7:17 pm

Jacula

Not too far from there, but on another set of hills.

7:17 pm

Jacula

jilli - Yes, I remember you telling me about being in Malvern.

MrWrite - So do we (love to receive letters). I used to write loads before I got on the internet.:( If friends get short letters off me now, they complain! LOL.

8:10 pm

Ankhorite

Yeah, but still a good clue, MrWrite

the other pa4/7 is similar - think Superman's ___, Jimmy Olson

evan: messing with the eye is not routine or fun

Owl, that is the worst of cataracts -- they ruin your night vision. And either you limit your life, or you become a road hazard!

8:11 pm

StephieC

thanks!

8:11 pm

Jacula

Mind you, MrWrite, my writing style can easily be influenced by the author I've been reading just before writing. I remember when I was reading Sue Limb's 'Bad Housekeeping', it was such a catching style that I couldn't help falling into it. My friends thought I'd gone bonkers!

8:12 pm

Ankhorite

Melon -- a copper item might have a green pa****, and then latin plural that.

8:12 pm

Jacula

melon - pa7/32 - Latin plural of the pa6/21 (sheen/lustre). pa + singer Miss Turner.

8:12 pm

periwinkle

thanks mrwrite, got the other pa4, odd word

8:12 pm

mrwrite

Heh, I do that too, Jacula--both in writing, and in speech. When we go to foreign countries, I mimic the sounds around me, even though I can't speak the language. It's the same with writing.

8:13 pm

8:14 pm

I love getting these annual letteres, but I have a brother-in-law who hates them and refuses to read them -- tears them up without looking at them.

8:14 pm

Ankhorite

Write, where is it?? Huh? Yeah, me too, Stephie.

8:15 pm

Jacula

Sometimes, I also 'catch' stutters or twitches. That's quite worrying. I had a French teacher with an eye tic. She was lovely, but I'd end up looking and sounding... well, I don't know what, if I spent too much time one to one with her.

8:15 pm

mrwrite

The other good one is the writing assignment one--I used to teach college writing, so that's where the inspiration came from: http://www.engel-cox.org/influences/ho

Well, shame on him for his Scrooge-grinchiness. Weirdo. My brother is like that too. We have learned to avoid him.

9:13 pm

Jacula

9:22 pm

lbdawger

I'm a dec 27th capricorn

9:23 pm

Minski

I had a friend in college who shared my birthday. We would go out every year just the 2 of us because may 6th always fell during study days for final exams and noone else would join us.

9:23 pm

Jacula

My March 22nd Aries was around for 22/23 years and still is around to be a friend to me a a dad to our 2 kids. We were friends before, the fact that faithfulness got lost somewhere along the way on his part no longer matters; it's been a long time now and he's never let the kids down.

9:23 pm

Capng

Woot :)

9:24 pm

Capng

I'm off to bed. I'm fighting a cold and it seems the cold is winning right now.

9:24 pm

Capng

Happy Babbling everyone

9:24 pm

lbdawger

Get lots of rest cap. sweet dreams.

9:24 pm

Jacula

Capng - Good luck! I hope it's not the same bug as we here are still recovering from!

9:25 pm

lbdawger

Jac, I'm glad he decided to at least be a good father

9:25 pm

Capng

I think it's just a basic cold.

9:25 pm

Jacula

lbd - He's always been a good friend, too. He was just crap at the faithful hubby thing.

9:26 pm

Jacula

Capng - I hope so! Keep warm. Take some vit C.

9:26 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

back for more hair pulling. Hi all!

9:27 pm

Jacula

lbd - seriously, more seriously, that is, I am shocked at how many of our kids' friends never see their fathers! So many just bugger off, or are kept away by ex-wives.

9:27 pm

lbdawger

Hubz and I are good friends, mates and partners. it's his second marriage, my first.

9:28 pm

lbdawger

Our son is from his first marriage, but the kid is more like me than one wants to think sometimes. People even comment on how our grandson looks like me...hmm 6 degrees of separation?

9:29 pm

lbdawger

i don't understand why the ex's have to be so nasty, especially when there are kids involved.

9:29 pm

lbdawger

Hi book

9:30 pm

Jacula

Both my ex and my present partner (who has a daughter) keep in regular contact with their kids. Other Half's daughter is due back here next weekend for 2 weekends on the trot. She'll be spending her 12th birthday with us because a) she knows I'll make her a cake. LOL and b) We'll take her to see Eragon & she will probably get to go to KFC.

9:30 pm

smooth_pappa

hi gwen... hi dawg

9:31 pm

lbdawger

hey smooth! Jac, Birthdays are special and extra special when the kids want to be with us.

9:33 pm

Jacula

I'm quite wary of being 'loving' in a cuddly way with P's daughter, though I know she often wants me to be. It's just that my daughter HATED that if her Dad's new partner ever tried it. Mind you, that could be because she wasn't lovey-dovey with her own 2. I also know that I would not like it if my daughter got too cuddly with 'another mother'. However, much as I try to pretend to be 'The Wicked Stepmother', P's daughter sees right through me. Aw shucks!

9:35 pm

Jacula

But I am very wary of being a 2nd Mum.

9:35 pm

Mooch

any clue for the io6/18?

9:36 pm

P.J.

Good evening all,just trying to get a few words bofor jammy time.

9:36 pm

Jacula

Having said that, if anyone upsets her when I'm around, it's a different matter, both on the defending and the cuddling front!

9:36 pm

lbdawger

you can't be the ugly step monster Jac. I told our son that I could be his friend and his step mother, but he had a biological mother and he needed to understand that i would not be replacing her. he was okay with that.

9:36 pm

lbdawger

Mooch, take that little partical and charge it up

9:36 pm

Jacula

9:44 pm

9:48 pm

lbdawger

9:49 pm

Jacula

Actually, I belive they should still be used, if not for reasons of hair gel, then the reason that men's heads seem to sweat more than women's and, even without greasy hair products, they still stain chair backs with their heads. My ex Pa-in-Law has ruined the one armchair of the dusky pink suite I gave them!

9:49 pm

Erda

10:13 pm

oogaboogajoe

10:13 pm

TeaNCrackers

I know - it was actually kind of nice to be away from the kids for the day!

10:14 pm

10:14 pm

If the reference is sn 7/36, the 36 is the point total for the word. You probably would benefit from reading the info at Angelsong's site...the link is in friends of babble at the bottom of this page

10:14 pm

TeaNCrackers

I would like crackers with my Tea, please ;)

10:14 pm

Jacula

10:15 pm

greengeeny

tea...god love the kids, but let's be honest kyou will love them more if there is a little time away from each other...I can't wait to see my kids everyday that I work, but when I stay home too long we get on each other's nerves

10:24 pm

TeaNCrackers

hoo boy! I am so glad that Crackers in asleep on dad's lap, that is keeping it toned down a bit.

10:25 pm

stidmama

and now a penalty for holding? WHAT are they thinking? *boo, hiss*

10:25 pm

Jacula

And here am I, nice British lady, just arrived back with my mug of tea... and the air is blue due to someone's hubby letting rip. *Gets out can of sweaerase and sprays log.*

10:25 pm

stidmama

10:26 pm

stidmama

10:26 pm

TeaNCrackers

I had to step away for a moment and turn on a DVD for Tea - didn't want her exposed to dad

10:26 pm

TeaNCrackers

heavy sigh!

10:27 pm

stidmama

okay, I want to spend some kid time before they go to sleep. See you-all later. Good to hear it was boring today, Tea! better than overwhelming...

10:28 pm

TeaNCrackers

10:29 pm

greengeeny

Just went to the list because I started so late...have 96 left, and realized that i haven't one al or an word...is that possible???

10:30 pm

TeaNCrackers

I hate it when I go to this list and am missing a whole block!

10:33 pm

stidmama

greeny, just wandering by -- kid in shower. there is an 5/10 like the smelly veggie you put in chili... and a plural, and the licorice-like spice an 4/4 (French spelling) or 5/10 (English)

10:34 pm

greengeeny

you are a dream stid! thanks!

10:35 pm

greengeeny

need one al6 and two al5....still working on it!!

10:35 pm

TeaNCrackers

al 6 is just a different vowel ending of the al 5 before it with the plural

10:35 pm

greengeeny

scratch that and switch the numbers...2 al6 and 1 al5

10:35 pm

TeaNCrackers

or, just the plural of the 5 before it

10:36 pm

greengeeny

I have al5/14...sounds like the name of a singer that died a few years back in a plane crash

10:36 pm

jillibus

hi gang -- back to clue if needed

10:37 pm

TeaNCrackers

althat's the first one I clued.

10:37 pm

TeaNCrackers

hi, jilli

10:37 pm

jillibus

hi TnC

10:37 pm

TeaNCrackers

the other al 6 is the plural of the 5 before it. that 5 is a + lo 4/4

10:38 pm

greengeeny

got it tea!thanks!

10:38 pm

TeaNCrackers

10:38 pm

greengeeny

10:40 pm

TeaNCrackers

I just keep forgetting to change, plus I start work this week, so I won't have much time, so I am going to stick with the kids for awhile.

10:42 pm

jillibus
