12:44 am

hurshy

in the past there has been sort of a tacit understanding that people who are at the flip are probably the sort of people who don't want too much information, that's all

12:44 am

Uneaixoise

thanks, jillibus :-)

CyborgScrabbler

ST 8/40 S + to cry + to have eaten

12:45 am

helenkeller

flip, flip, flip - knowledge is power & life is short

12:45 am

o-o

tacit understanding that us published where?

12:46 am

hurshy

it wasn't published, there were fewer babblers in those days, so it didn't have to be

12:46 am

helenkeller

babblerabble - lol your bio - thanks, i needed that!

12:47 am

o-o

So, once again someone is censored for an unwritten understanding that only a few know about

12:47 am

CyborgScrabbler

well sorry the clues do not fit in with your time of day!! If you do not want to know them then dont look, simple :))

12:48 am

melonheadjujube

censured

12:48 am

helenkeller

also, ahem - sociopaths = problems, big problems, always (don't let them fool you, lol)

12:48 am

hurshy

i don't think cnan was trying to censor or censure, just, perhaps, pass on a time-honored tradition

12:48 am

Dispatch

hello all ...just joining in for a few

12:49 am

Dispatch

couldn't help but overhear the rumbling

12:49 am

o-o

Glad I could amuse you helen ..... have a good laugh

12:49 am

dorky

it was my understanding that the no clues usually runs for the first hour or so - after that it's fair game (i got chewed out for this also wen i first started here) that hour is nearly up

12:50 am

helenkeller

melon - i missed you last night - i want to wish best of luck on your surgery, hope you feel better very, very soon - & like someone else said, be sure to get the good drugs!

12:51 am

joey

that was me HK. always ask for the good drugs.

12:51 am

cybernan

did you find the tr 9, hurshy?

12:51 am

hurshy

yup

12:51 am

helenkeller

yes joey - always an excellent plan!

12:51 am

melonheadjujube

oh, my doc is generous - might as well convalesce in lala-land ;)

12:51 am

o-o

If there are going to be conventions, and time-honored whatever..... tell people .... personally I think the whole thing is bogus and condescending

12:52 am

Dispatch

it is obvious that some at the flip are more acquainted with the game than others. i love the clues when i need them...and i love to give clues when someone else needs them. i didn't know that only the professionals needing no clues were allowed to play for the first hour. i'll watch my log in time from now on

12:52 am

CyborgScrabbler

well said Babble

12:52 am

joey

my mom is having surgery tomorrow. unfortunately she doesn't subscribe to the same ideas. she toughs it out

12:52 am

dorky

agreed babblerabble and in a way that doesnt belittle others or make them feel unwelcome

12:53 am

Dispatch

quite honestly...i NEVER would have found the tr9 on my own and i thank cyborg for sharing

12:54 am

melonheadjujube

i suppose one could announce "clue alert!" so eyes could be averted.

12:54 am

CyborgScrabbler

OS 7/32 A tumor of bone tissue

12:54 am

Dispatch

good idea melon!

12:55 am

dorky

i have no issue with clues either, no matter how early, but some here will get their noses out of joint over it - it's up to you wot u decide to do with that info

12:55 am

cybernan

It is just that some players like to see how many words they can find without clues in the first hour. Traditionally only the 4 or 5 longest words are called (alpha numeric only). The rest of us do not find it a hardship to respect the wishes of those who like the greater challenge. The reason this game is so popular is for the friendly chat, the supportive group and the fact that everyone tries to fit it.

12:55 am

Angb

I don't think there any rules as have been intimated here, apart from a general consideration that some people play Babble differently from others, and that it behoves others to take that into account.

12:55 am

cybernan

*in

12:56 am

Angb

Communities are generally about a consideration of others ...

12:56 am

joey

i don't think it has been called - i got a co 7

12:56 am

jillibus

gorgeous and enviable icon, angb!

12:57 am

CyborgScrabbler

you do not need to read the clues, just ignore them, they are soon scrolled off the screen, I believe in being helpful

12:57 am

o-o

You speak of a tradition that is kept a secret.... put all these unwritten whatever out there so everyone knows.

12:57 am

hurshy

um, that's kind of what we were doing.

12:58 am

Angb

Thank you jilli - the pohutukawas are starting to flower - local legend says that it will be a nice summer if they flower prior to Xmas

12:58 am

o-o

sure you are by fingerpointing

12:58 am

Erda

This is SO silly -- if you reduce the program, you don't see the chat. The resident Einsteins could easily do that instead oif kvetching...

12:58 am

hurshy

i really don't think anyone's tone was accusatory...

12:58 am

jillibus

peace, please

12:59 am

o-o

oh hogwash

12:59 am

dorky

but the not cluing should probably be presented as a request if it comes too early, rather than some kind of violation

12:59 am

chic

my sentiments exactly, babrab! LOL!

12:59 am

ursh

chill pills all round - i am off to work - bbl to find only 216

1:00 am

hurshy

cnan smiled, a smile always indicates friendliness, and i said "that's all", so as to indicate it was no big deal, but informational...

1:00 am

Erda

fear

1:00 am

Erda

same

1:00 am

Erda

oops -- sorry

1:00 am

jillibus

ta, erda!

1:00 am

CyborgScrabbler

Only 4 QU words!

1:01 am

lynxxx

I feel like I am a newcomer as I have just found about this 1st hour convention! I'd agree with BabbleR - perhaps the 'conventions' could be written into the Help above. There would be an issue with the first hour being 'reserved' for non-clues anyway as we are from so many dfferent countries

1:01 am

MVA

ty erda

1:01 am

Angb

See you all later guys ... will be back when it quietens down

1:01 am

girlfriday

I really don't understand why you can't shrink this part of your screen, virtually removing all chat, until you are ready to look at it....

1:01 am

Dispatch

i am offering this from my own standpoint...i obviously do not have the extended vocabulary of many who are here and do not feel threatened in anyway by clues or "called" clues.

1:01 am

dorky

because most people still like to chat girlfriday

1:01 am

helenkeller

i like erda's suggestion, shrinking the chat, or removing it, we all have different time constraints, if you want to speed-babble, then don't bother looking at the chat, if you can't do that, then go play tangleword, you get not time to chat there :)

1:01 am

melonheadjujube

110 so far.

1:02 am

Erda

amen, girlfriday!!!

1:02 am

Dispatch

actually...a called clue is just as much of a giveaway for us to find a new word as the definition sometimes...so the only issue seems to be that cyborg clued a couple words that were already "called" by someone else.

1:03 am

SueMagee

Morning all! I've been listening to what's being said. I like the clues. The only time I've got to play is from the flip - before the world starts moving - and I wouldn't be able to finish without the clues. Surely there's some way we could all accomodate each other?

1:03 am

MVA

i'm with dispatch, i only have a certain ammount of time to play babble and if clues are given, i will try and work them out!

1:03 am

maniac_mitch

soar

1:03 am

jillibus

I want an e beside that d on the left

1:03 am

dorky

these unwritten 'rules' come from long standing players, i guess the question is should they have to adapt to 'newbies' or should new players adapt to the existing community?

1:03 am

maniac_mitch

whops, sry

1:03 am

hurshy

i think the issue was more, perhaps, that the clues given hadn't even been requested by anyone?

1:04 am

helenkeller

tx mitch

1:04 am

o-o

I am done..... it is clear that something will always offend someone ... unwritten rules, traditions and conventions will always unwittingly trip up the uninitialted

1:04 am

CyborgScrabbler

some people are just looking to moan about something, anything, as long as they can moan ... will be back tomorrow at 2 minutes to flip for more juicy clues!

1:04 am

o-o

is that another unwritten requirement?

1:04 am

dorky

no offense to me and none by me i hope babblerabble

1:04 am

helenkeller

babblerabble - done with the grid, or fed up with the chat?

1:04 am

CyborgScrabbler

hurshy ... do you only speak when spoken too? I bet not!!

1:04 am

melonheadjujube

joey, i hadn't looked at the chat for a bit. i hope your mom gets through it all right. doctors used to guilt-trip pts for asking for pain meds. fortunately this has changed.

1:05 am

hurshy

no, but when you combine that with it being the first hour, it just... but it really doesn't matter, so, whatever

1:05 am

maniac_mitch

personally i don't mind the tr9/60 stuff - but when it gets to giving the whole word away, it is somewhat bothersome - it takes away any challenge at finding words which i think is kind of the point of the game

1:06 am

CyborgScrabbler

exactly, just look to moan ... the clues are out there for all, read em or not, they are helpful and friendly all the same

1:06 am

mkl

fitting word ra4,4

1:06 am

Dispatch

hurshy gives "play on words" clues as well as direct when asked...which are fun too!

1:07 am

hurshy

it wasn't moaning in the first place! i think at this point there's more moaning about perceived moaning than there was moaning to begin with...

1:08 am

dorky

hehe

4:22 am

Andree

hi rhee

4:24 am

Haz1558

If you have the ae6, take off the last vowel, replace with an 'alternative' word

4:25 am

Andree

thx haz

4:25 am

Haz1558

Alternative word being two letters

4:25 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

4:28 am

Andree

I didn't take off last letter , think I tried the whole alphabet, lol

4:28 am

Haz1558

It'll be one to remember for again!

4:31 am

Andree

maybe haz, I have a lot of senior moments these days

4:32 am

Haz1558

It comes to us all. The frustrating thing is remembering someone's name two days too late.

4:33 am

Andree

I wander into a room to get something and forget what it was I came for, lol

4:34 am

Haz1558

Ditto. Major exercise, apart from walking the dog, is going up and down stairs trying to remember why you need to go up or down.

4:38 am

Andree

never mind, lots of us in the same boat

4:38 am

lynxxx

humph! co7.40 silly word

4:40 am

Haz1558

I suppose you have to have some way to describe co5

4:40 am

Haz1558

Good morning spanner. The grid is big... I'll have to tackle it in stages.

4:41 am

Andree

hi spanner, not easy

4:41 am

lynxxx

Hello Spanner

4:41 am

Andree

and way too big for me

4:41 am

spanner

I have to tackle EVERy grid in stages...and I never get to the last stage LOL

4:42 am

Andree

last ar 6/18 please

4:42 am

Haz1558

My back is a problem at the minute and can't sit for too long at one time, so enforced stages....

4:43 am

spanner

Sorry to hear that Haz, hope youll be feeling better soon

4:43 am

Haz1558

ar6/18 - more creative.

4:44 am

Haz1558

I had physio yesterday and am feeling the effects today!

4:44 am

Andree

thx haz

4:45 am

spanner

Sometimes it has to get worse before it gets better...

4:45 am

Andree

the physio only makes you feel better after a couple of days

4:45 am

Haz1558

That's what I'm telling myself.

4:46 am

spanner

Grit your teeth, if the physio is working properly youll be feeling better by tomorrow...

4:46 am

Haz1558

I have to go back tomorrow for more!

4:46 am

Andree

you have to drink heaps of water, like having a massage brings out all the toxins in your body

4:47 am

spanner

What on earth have you done or is this an ongoing problem?

4:48 am

Haz1558

spanner - I woke up a week ago with an extremely sore lower back, no apparent cause. When it didn't get any better I sought help! It's what used to be known as a slipped disc, but hopefully with exercises and various things it should get better slowly.

4:50 am

spanner

Ouch, bad luck Haz. Give it time and mother it a bit...(my daughter slipped a disc turning over in bed...well at least thats what she told me...)

4:50 am

Andree

95 left,hope I can get back to it tomorrow, happy babbling

4:50 am

spanner

Bye andree

4:51 am

Andree

hope you feel better soon haz although it sounds as though it might take a while

4:51 am

Haz1558

Bye Andree - thanks, spanner, I'm doing my best to be sensible but it is frustrating!

4:51 am

lynxxx

Bye Andree.

4:51 am

spanner

I know but the body needs time to heal, and sometimes you need to give it that time

4:52 am

lynxxx

Haz - remember the ice-packs - and I love Voltarin!

4:52 am

spanner

ANd dont you just hate being 'sensible'

4:53 am

spanner

LOL lynxxx

4:53 am

Haz1558

Thanks lynxxx - I've been given a TENS machine to buzz away at my back. Now I'm literally wired up.

4:54 am

spanner

I use onre of those regularly. They take a while for you to feel the benefits but when they do, they are bloody marvellous

4:56 am

Haz1558

It's an interesting sensation, I'll say that for it! Anyway, have to go and move around a bit. I'll probably be back later (pardon the pun).

4:56 am

lynxxx

mental note - I must find out about hese

4:56 am

lynxxx

bye for now Haz

4:57 am

spanner

Later Haz. Lynxx, they are great, but they dont suit everyone apparantly

4:59 am

spanner

I dont know how it works in Oz (though I should my sister lives in sydney), but there are places over here you can loan them to make sure they suit you before you buy

5:01 am

lynxxx

I shall investigate - I'm seeing my chiro next week anyway. I go every 3 months as a preventative measure which seems to work for me. I actually have another problem which it may be good for - I'll find out. TY

Bloodaxe

5:54 am

5:54 am

Bloodaxe

I'll check it out..i have a list of books i want to read when i'm done with school...

5:55 am

5:57 am

periwinkle

Yikes, what a big puzzle, any clues for the 9 or the 8's around

5:57 am

Bloodaxe

5:58 am

Bloodaxe

5:58 am

Wolvie

5:59 am

Scrabbler

Just smother him with kindness because he will give you a final grade of course. Otherwise I ignore evil people and take their power away.

5:59 am

*grin*

9:13 am

hurshy

the tough thing is, i mean, you've got chase right there too!!! tough call.

9:13 am

Haz1558

I don't. I can't help thinking of him as an English comedy actor.

9:14 am

hurshy

i first saw him as mr. parker in sense and sensibility, haz - so i thought it was odd at first but then i got used to him as house

9:14 am

hurshy

oh haz, i just realized i had a dr5 about you last night!

9:14 am

Uneaixoise

well, lots of us stateside found out about his comedy background "after the fact" :-)

9:14 am

P.J.

hey hey Gadget

9:14 am

stidmama

yep. they were a great team weren't they Haz?

9:14 am

stidmama

no -- chase is far too young for me! House...

9:14 am

GraceM

He'll always be Stuart Little's dad to me. No one thought he was crush-worthy back then. Must be some women just like jerks!

9:14 am

raelite

he really was great in Black Adder though....no one plays a stoopid prince like Hugh Laurie...

9:15 am

Haz1558

He's been in lots of things - all comedy up until now.

9:15 am

hurshy

well chase isn't too young for me :) :) :)

9:15 am

pabtrek

i liked him in stuart little

9:15 am

stidmama

That's true also -- though I thought Stephen Fry was funnier in his Black Adder role.

9:15 am

kc8501

thats funny grace, SOME women??? a lot from what I see

9:15 am

hurshy

actually now that i think of it, mr. parker had some house-like qualities

9:16 am

Haz1558

Sorry, if I wanted a doctor, my vote would go to Carter in ER. Rich, caring, handsome.

9:16 am

stidmama

yippee for me, got the E from the top!

9:16 am

hurshy

aw, yeah, carter.... but what about clooney? mmmm

9:16 am

pabtrek

9:17 am

hurshy

i think i do like jerks. i like simon cowell too. i mean i don't have a crush on him, but i admire him.

9:18 am

hurshy

it is ironic because my husband is as opposite of jerk as you can get.

9:18 am

P.J.

Thank you all................LOL

9:18 am

stidmama

*icky* simon cowell *blech*

9:18 am

pabtrek

i like simon, he tells it like it is, and face it some of those people need to be told the truth

9:19 am

hurshy

yeah, that's exactly what i was going to say pab! so much better than sappy paula and wishy-washy randy

9:20 am

hurshy

the only thing i find weird is that sometimes i think someone in the final rounds sang a particular song quite badly and then he says they did great - that is unnerving.

9:20 am

hootowl

Morning stid - got your message from woulf. Haven't been on chat since we movrd. I think we have too, too much stuffage!

9:20 am

stidmama

9:20 am

stidmama

{{{{hootowl}}}} !!! gotta rescue a dog brb

9:20 am

hurshy

9:21 am

Uneaixoise

9:21 am

hurshy

in the noooooooooooooose

9:21 am

hootowl

LOVE House. And I own the Black Adder cds. He is the doctor I've always wanted. Knows what he's talking about and tells you. Chase is NOT trustwirthy!

9:21 am

hurshy

yes yes yes

9:22 am

stidmama

back -- so, do you like your new place? are you comfortable? I have missed you so much!

9:22 am

hurshy

but chase is hot hot hot

9:22 am

hootowl

Hot goes so far. I don't trust him!

9:22 am

stidmama

I have about ten minutes before I need to take the kids to school...

9:22 am

bunnyvicious

Errrg, this one is a pain!

9:22 am

Haz1558

Which one's Chase? The dark one (Dead Poets) or the Australian?

9:22 am

pabtrek

i like foreman too

9:23 am

hurshy

medicinally, or relationally, hoot?

9:23 am

bunnyvicious

Chase, is he the one that House wrote a scrip from his pad and had him suspended?

9:23 am

stidmama

yes bunny... I was hoping to get to halfway before I left, but I am not going to make it.

9:23 am

hurshy

australian

9:23 am

raelite

yeah, I like foreman,,he's HOTT

9:23 am

hurshy

let's face it, they don't pick bad looking people to be on tv very often.

9:23 am

stidmama

it is really windy here, rae -- what about up north?

9:24 am

bunnyvicious

That's why I like to watch TV ;)

9:24 am

stidmama

I spent all night listening to the trees and branches ... trees stayed up, a lot of branches didn't!

9:24 am

raelite

oh..it's bad...we lost power for about 8 hours last night and there's another bugger of a storm coming tomorrow

9:24 am

Haz1558

He's good looking in a young kind of way.

9:24 am

hootowl

Are moved in but still a mess. Combining stuf from his apt, mine from NY AND Knox plus stuff we got from his mothers when we cleaned out her house last year! 2 bedroom, living room, dining room and family room packed to the gills! Still haven't found some stuff. Also movers from hell!

9:24 am

hurshy

he's right around my age, and ahhh that accent

9:24 am

stidmama

{{hoot}} probably won't help to tell you we've been here 7 years and I am still occasionally finding things!

9:25 am

raelite

we don't have grass anymore...lol...we have pine boughs

9:25 am

bunnyvicious

Hoot, I feel for ya, we have been moved in for three months or so, but we still aren't "moved in".

9:25 am

bunnyvicious

...but I'm not as bad as Stid, lol

9:26 am

hurshy

our current home was still under construction when we moved in, that was unpleasant

9:26 am

raelite

my drive in at 0530 was really fun too...

9:27 am

raelite

we may even get a thunder storm this aft, Stid! a light show!

9:27 am

stidmama

I bet! at 5:30 I gave up on sleep and decided to get the furnace going (it's normally on a timer) in case the power went

9:27 am

stidmama

so far still online, but not overly optimistic!

9:28 am

hootowl

I have a craft room for the first time in years and I keep moving stuff around to fit it all in. Found some stuff and now it's missing again! Chase is the aussie and previous episodes set him up as not trustworthy. I don't understand this current line. Seems like cop harrassment should be chargable.

9:28 am

raelite

yeah, I'm expecting the electricity to go anytime...the winds must be at least 50km outside

9:28 am

bunnyvicious

It's a sunny 75 here with a nice breeze :) Will be that way all week, yay!

9:29 am

stidmama

how nice, hoot! I love having an "office" (most of my work is art), though at the moment it is still not put together from the skylight episode! *fuss fuss*

9:29 am

hurshy

yeah i didn't think they were allowed to freeze people's assets to pressure them to give info about someone

9:29 am

stidmama

*throwing peculiar glances at bunny*

9:29 am

hootowl

I am very glad we didn't get the weather we were told we were getting. Sorry it seems to have gone to some of you!

9:29 am

raelite

yes, it's a good thing House and his cohorts aren't bound by that pesky reality thing

9:30 am

hootowl

Cops like him give cops a bad rep

9:31 am

pabtrek

what bugged me is the cop was accusing house of being a bully, when he is a bigger bully than house

9:31 am

hurshy

it IS a good thing... i want entertainment, not reality. reality is borrrring

9:31 am

raelite

and over rated

9:31 am

hurshy

i dunno, i'd say they're about equal-size bullies

9:31 am

bunnyvicious

...but House is funny when he's a bully.

9:31 am

hootowl

Well the show is not reality. How many patients do you think docs get that keep changing symptoms?

9:32 am

stidmama

*sigh* almost halfway, and must be off. hootowl, if you are of a mind, email me and I will send you the link to some pics of my "office" -- currently a storage space for large bundles of fiberglas...

9:32 am

stidmama

see you-all later!

9:32 am

raelite

good luck in the storm sti

9:32 am

bunnyvicious

Bye Stid

10:30 am

bunnyvicious

hurshy

yayyayayay

10:31 am

bunnyvicious

I'm outta crackers for a meat loaf, can't I use oats?

10:32 am

hurshy

bread crumbs or oats would work

10:32 am

CadFan

oh yes, oats would be good

10:32 am

hurshy

i'm a bread crumb fan myself

10:33 am

bunnyvicious

I have bread crumbs, but they have italian seasoning in them. I'll try the oats.

10:33 am

72 Temple Owl

yes i use oats all the time - hi all!

10:33 am

72 Temple Owl

or you can use bread

10:33 am

hurshy

10:33 am

evanonut

72 Temple Owl

evanonut

10:34 am

72 Temple Owl

i use salsa in mine and top it with salsa too

10:34 am

hurshy

...i would do anything for love, but i won't do that...

10:35 am

bunnyvicious

I guess I could use the crums, I usually empty any jars that have very little left into a meatloaf, it's kinda my "clean out the fridge" meal.

10:35 am

evanonut

yah hursh, cause you should use bbq sauce

10:35 am

72 Temple Owl

and i don't eat salsa any other way - go figure - but it has peppers and onions and tomato which i do use in meat loaf

10:35 am

hurshy

and objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

10:35 am

72 Temple Owl

this grid is a killer

10:35 am

hurshy

so now i'm praying for the end of time to hurry up and arrive

10:36 am

bunnyvicious

I looove spicy food, I eat salsa and chips for a snack all the time. I have to be careful what I put in the loaf though, it's for my Nannie.

10:54 am

bunnyvicious

Bloodaxe

11:13 am

bunnyvicious

Duh, take the cross outta ma 6/21 for the ma 5/12. I get to complicated...

11:13 am

smooth_pappa

whoo hoo! over the halfway mark. lol

11:13 am

72 Temple Owl

this grid is a pain

11:13 am

bunnyvicious

Yay pappa

11:15 am

Merk

Some words just flowed, but it was a tedious grid at times.

11:15 am

hurshy

bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling ting-a-ling-a-ling

11:16 am

72 Temple Owl

i mean maestro i think maybe i should go shopping instead

72 Temple Owl

11:21 am

bunnyvicious

TO, I put the 2nd letter list in my profile so you can get to it, hope it helps.

11:21 am

hurshy

aww you should be bunnysweet instead of bunnyvicious

11:21 am

DRBERNABO

"In the land of the pigs the butcher is king" (nothing like a new Meatloaf song)

11:21 am

hurshy

nice nice bunny

11:22 am

pabtrek

don't get the bad bone clue, help please

11:22 am

hurshy

since when is the king the executioner? kings don't do the dirty work. meatloaf songs never make any sense.

11:22 am

smooth_pappa

oi! The R, S, and T list is a bit dizzying.

11:22 am

hurshy

you know the prefix pab? like women can get o****perosis as they age?

11:22 am

DRBERNABO

yes, but they are high energy and help with babbling, house cleaning, and grading (not necessarily in that order)

11:22 am

hurshy

and then it ends with caroline ingalls

11:23 am

hurshy

zing zing zing

11:23 am

pabtrek

thanks hurshy

11:23 am

hurshy

oh my gosh i am so prejudiced, i cannot believe i just thought to myself, "house cleaning? but you're a male!"

11:24 am

smooth_pappa

wow! was that a little house on the praire reference I just saw? Haven't thought of that in decades!

11:24 am

DRBERNABO

trying to sell the house, people are coming over, and the office is decidedly my mess to clean

11:25 am

bunnyvicious

Here, I have to have clues like this one, os 7 - os + anagram of digits on feet + opp of dad... I have a tiny brain.

11:25 am

hurshy

starring michael landon, karen grassle, melissa gilbert, melissa sue anderson, allison arngrim, etc etc

11:25 am

smooth_pappa

lol bunny.

11:25 am

hurshy

but the books are better

11:25 am

hurshy

oh doc, don't go an reinforce my prejudices now by minimizing it

11:25 am

smooth_pappa

yeah, my mom used to read me those books when I was really little

11:26 am

DRBERNABO

Just yesterday my wife said if she died she would make sure the kids made me sell the house because I would never keep it clean, so I'm pretty sure I'm reinforcing at least one sterotype here

11:26 am

hurshy

my mom read them to me when i was 6 and as soon as we finished i said "again!" and she said no, if you want to read them again you have to read them yourself and that is how she manipulated me into reading my first chapter books.

11:27 am

hurshy

for which, naturally, i am now grateful.

11:27 am

DRBERNABO

Never read them. My mom made me read "Mary Poppins" so I would know why the movie was wrong.

11:27 am

smooth_pappa

apparently, she didn't have any trouble getting me to read... she would read to me, and then (I am told) I would try reading on my own, alone...

11:28 am

bunnyvicious

I've never read Mary Poppins, didn't even know there was a book, but I can tell you that the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter movies are wrong, wrong, wrong!

11:28 am

smooth_pappa

but the downside of that is that I've not learned to pronounce all words correctly. Since I wasn't really instructed, I have been a phonetic pronouncer, and even still I struggle with that sometimes

11:28 am

hurshy

doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo, doo DOO doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo dooooooooooooo doo doo!

11:29 am

DRBERNABO

Series of Mary Poppins books. The new broadway show is the songs from the movie but more like the original stories (which is why it is nicknamed "Scary Poppins").

11:29 am

smooth_pappa

IE until last year I've always pronounced "gamut" like "GamOOt"

11:29 am

bunnyvicious

Pappa, it's OK, I'm from Texas, nobody speaks correctly here, you can re-locate :)

11:29 am

hurshy

yeah i thought the name penelope was pen-a-lope

11:30 am

smooth_pappa

HA! good one bunny... My family is Backwoods tennessee, so I fit in there, too. ;)

11:30 am

smooth_pappa

lol Hursh, you should have heard the first time I trie to pronounce Caliope. lol

11:31 am

hurshy

well if they are going to make things so counterintuitive, it really isn't our fault, is it

11:31 am

bunnyvicious

There ya go! I don't think I've pronounced a "g" on the end of an "ing" word...ever!

11:31 am

smooth_pappa

that's what I say! you know... spanish is so much easier... everything is pronounced just like it's written. lol same in italian, too... well... almost

11:32 am

smooth_pappa

Bunny: do you know the difference between a violin and a fiddle?

11:32 am

bunnyvicious

Uh, I thought they were the same...

11:32 am

smooth_pappa

one's got strings, the other's got Straangs

11:32 am

hurshy

(is bunny supposed to say, "what's a violin?")

11:32 am

bunnyvicious

lol, I like that!

11:32 am

smooth_pappa

;)

11:33 am

rolin

hurshy

11:35 am

vpchat

ack, nvm, just got it

11:36 am

smooth_pappa

whoops... sorry rolin, I read that wrong... i thought the "x2" was attached to the 6 letter words

11:36 am

bunnyvicious

I counted 10.

11:36 am

hurshy

aha, that would mean i need 2 r5 and one s4

11:38 am

bunnyvicious

11:38 am

smooth_pappa

11:39 am

bunnyvicious

The only s 4's I see that are a little off the wall are sa 4/4 before the sa 6/18 (leave off the last two letters for the 4)

11:39 am

hurshy

oh hmm then maybe did you count the s's wrong? that seems like i just need one re5.

11:39 am

bunnyvicious

Bye pappa

11:39 am

bunnyvicious

I might have counted the r's wrong, let me double check.

11:40 am

bunnyvicious

2:10 pm

{{{lynxxx}}} I have been reading about the fires... our problem is opposite. there is so much rain that the rivers the salmon spawn in are choked with debris. Trees are falling over in light breezes (not to mention our big gusts today) because the soil is so saturated... if only we could ship you some of our weather!

2:10 pm

stidmama

11:35 pm

smooth_pappa

ahhh... well, that quip I made about the R made me think of a scene from an episode where they were having the olympics, and either a japanese won a bronze, or it was a japanese anoucer with the line " a shamful, shamful bronze" :)

11:51 pm

Wyrd

11:51 pm

smooth_pappa

lol dee, I sleep poorly at night, too... but a melatonin pill usually takes care of that right away. :)

11:51 pm

VolleymomDee

11:52 pm

TeaNCrackers

I sleep poorly at night, too, but I blame the babies! (That really aren't babies anymore)

VolleymomDee

11:53 pm

TeaNCrackers

thanks, Dee

11:53 pm

VolleymomDee

I have so enjoyed babbling! I feel blessed to have found this site; folks are delightful and it keeps me from tossing & turning ...

11:54 pm

VolleymomDee

what is melatonin?

11:56 pm

smooth_pappa

melatonin rocks, dee! it is an enzyme ( i think enzyme) that your body produces to make you sleepy at night. That drowsy feeling. You can buy supplements over the counter that are completely natural. It only stays in your sytem for 4-6 hours, usually much less than 6, so you don't have any hangover feeling in the morning, it's so much cheaper than a prescription, and helathier

11:56 pm

smooth_pappa

infact, they are looking at it right now in other uses, even as a potential cancer treatment. it is a powerful antioxidant, and supposedly helps the immune system, as well.

11:57 pm

VolleymomDee

do you know if it would interact badly with prescription rheumatoid meds?

11:58 pm

smooth_pappa

I don't think so, since it's something that is produced naturally anyway... but I'm definitely not a doctor either.

11:58 pm

The Great Leigh

you should probably ask your pharmacist just to be sure

11:59 pm

VolleymomDee

thks for info; I'll ask my doc at my next appointment

11:59 pm

smooth_pappa

yeah, definitely!

12:00 am

smooth_pappa

dee, do you know if your meds contain any MAOIs?

12:00 am

VolleymomDee

sometimes tylenol pm or xtra strength tylenol help, but I hate taking any more meds than I have to
