3:32 am

sprite

Have been thinking of you, FMitch. Hope you can give yourself time and rest for a while longer.

3:33 am

ren8

Sorry to ask but I don't know what is wrong FMitch

3:34 am

Andree

hi sprite , fmitch and haz and anyone else i've missed

3:35 am

sprite

why isn't coita the plural of coitus?

3:35 am

Haz1558

Because it would be coiti, I think - the a ending comes after a -um, singular.

3:35 am

FranMag

makes sense to me sprite.

3:36 am

FMitch

((sprite))
LOL delicately put Haz

3:36 am

sprite

Darn, you are right, I had forgotten that.

3:37 am

Haz1558

Not that there was much talk about the co word in Latin class......

3:37 am

FranMag

except coiti not in the dictionary either

3:37 am

sprite

strangely enough, because it is one of the very few Latin words everybody knows...

3:40 am

Odin

Hey Andree

3:40 am

FranMag

andree, the 5/12 and 6/21 is an animal, add a vowel to the outerwear.

3:40 am

Haz1558

co5/12 - add a vowel to the garment?

3:40 am

FranMag

and then plural for the co6/21

3:41 am

FranMag

it's related to a raccoon.

3:41 am

3:55 am

Andree

she is cute

3:57 am

Andree

not sure i approve am a great believer in using real words with kids

3:58 am

sprite

I thought she had made up the word herself.

3:58 am

FranMag

maybe it's just how she pronounces it.

3:59 am

FranMag

for "privates" right?

3:59 am

Andree

sprite think she is trying to say privates

3:59 am

Andree

miss 7 when she was 3 never stopped talking about her bajina!!!

4:00 am

sprite

Ah, that is so sweet :) And almost unpronounceable for kids indeed.

4:00 am

sprite

beautiful! I like bajina better.

4:00 am

FranMag

now that's cute.

4:00 am

Andree

at least she got close to the right word

4:01 am

FMitch

4:11 am

And I think fariation is a variation on variation.

4:11 am

sprite

ohhhh, that gave me the 10, Ata!

4:12 am

Atalante

uhoh did I do something silly?

4:16 am

Atalante

4:17 am

Andree

boston take the n out of ata's phantom

4:18 am

bostonmermaid

4:18 am

sprite

Don't they use 'sotto voce' in English?

4:18 am

Odin

ty sprite and Ata ...got it

4:18 am

Atalante

oh! yes! woohooo!

4:20 am

bostonmermaid

help! I need a clue for the 10!!

4:20 am

Andree

just gave one boston

4:24 am

bostonmermaid

I don't understand your clue

4:24 am

bostonmermaid

her phantom?

4:25 am

movieman

boston - andree means the "phantom" word that atalante just recently posted.......

4:25 am

Odin

scroll down to Ata phantom word 4:07 and go from there

4:26 am

sprite

no one on my sotto voce question?

4:27 am

Andree

I would use that phrase sprite

4:28 am

bostonmermaid

ahhh, THANK YOU, got it

4:28 am

sprite

thanks, wondered if enable was being an i5 or that the phrase was totally unused in english.

4:29 am

Andree

can't see it on morewords sprite?

4:29 am

Andree

enable is an id***

4:29 am

sprite

no, enable won't accept it either, hence my question

4:31 am

zysx

i need to add 10 letter words to my excel

4:32 am

sprite

phantom: cardigan

4:38 am

Haz1558

Perha[s it's not accepted because it's part of a two word phrase and not generally used on its own?

4:38 am

sprite

probably, yes.

4:39 am

Andree

thx haz that would explain it

4:39 am

Haz1558

Of course, the stupidity of enable would make an equally vadid explanation...

4:40 am

Andree

I have no co words after the cloth, help please

4:40 am

movieman

that can't be it, haz, 'cos "terra" is an acceptable word, but "firma" isn't.......

4:40 am

sprite

Looked it up in the dutch dictionary and it is listed there, in the meaning 'from under', like the lower hand when playing piano.

4:40 am

FMitch

If enable was straightforward and correct, would babble be as much fun?

4:41 am

Andree

I think terra is a word on its own movie

4:41 am

sprite

of course not FMitch! We'd miss the daily opportunity to nag :)

4:41 am

Andree

sprite said a word

4:41 am

FMitch

LOL

4:41 am

sprite

ooohhhhh! I am sorry, I even had it :(

4:41 am

Odin

The co cloth is my last co Andree

4:41 am

Andree

and there is only diet food in the naughty corner

4:42 am

Andree

I know because i have already been there

4:42 am

kthdsn

morning everyone

4:43 am

sprite

I have the other half of terra listed in the cos :)

4:43 am

sprite

hi kate

4:43 am

FMitch

Andree, you mean you ate all the good stuff and left the heathy!

4:44 am

Andree

there was no good stuff there, think thats the actual punishment

4:44 am

Andree

hi kth

4:44 am

movieman

phantom: donations

4:45 am

Haz1558

It's the New Year policy, FMitch - people were sending themselves to the naughty corner/penalty spot. There has to be a deterrent element. (Could I be a magistrate in my spare time?)

4:45 am

sprite

you probably could, Haz! If you had any spare time, that is :)

4:45 am

kthdsn

it's not often we see a 10 letter word

4:46 am

FMitch

LOL I see Haz

4:46 am

Haz1558

It might interfere with babble, though.

4:47 am

sprite

I found the 8s, finally, now moving on to the rest of the 7s. Only one of the 8s was a plural to a 7.

4:47 am

Haz1558

And would a magistrate have any street cred with a spaniel sitting beside her?

4:48 am

Atalante

spaniels provide street cred!

4:48 am

sprite

Sure would, Haz. You could point at your sweet spaniel and say: "If you look for sympathy, look at her, not at me."

4:48 am

FMitch

OF course Haz, Im sure Spangle can do a stern stare.

4:48 am

FranMag

back from QP!

4:49 am

Haz1558

She could give them a doleful look and make them sorry for doing wrong.

4:49 am

Atalante

exactly! even a hardened criminal would melt under a spaniel stare

4:50 am

Haz1558

The paw on the leg, or the head on the lap would finish them off.

4:50 am

sprite

It would be such a fitting punishment, to have criminals walk around with a pic of Spangle and the obligation to look at her eyes each time they want to do something.

4:51 am

Atalante

or the ears flopping down associated with The Look

4:51 am

Andree

hi fran

4:51 am

FranMag

hi andree

4:52 am

The last time I shouted at Spangle (digging a hole in the garden) I ended up apologising to her.

4:52 am

FranMag

thanks for that co5 sprite, didn't have that one.

4:52 am

Andree

will have to leave last 5 co words til later, have tried everything

4:52 am

bbl

6:19 am

kthdsn

I'm having a really crappy day today, I feel really alone, my music is upsetting me and I keep shouting at the kids

6:20 am

kthdsn

I've got a friend coming to visit but i don't know what time

6:22 am

kthdsn

I know I'm doing really well in general, but right now I just want to fall apart and cry and scream, I would kill for a cuddle, for someone to tell me that everything is ok

6:23 am

o-o

Find a place away from your children and get it our of your system

6:25 am

o-o

Your children too in their way are grieving.

6:26 am

o-o

It will be all right if you decide it will be. There will be tough days, but you can choose to get through this.

6:27 am

kthdsn

I know babble, I am choosing to get through it, but right this minute it's too difficult to smile

6:27 am

o-o

Don't then.

6:29 am

kthdsn

the tough days are just so hard because there's noone here, I've got to go through it on my own, I don't have a shoulder to cry on

6:32 am

kthdsn

it's not him that I miss, it's just someone, anyone would do

6:32 am

jean1953

must away, been away from the computer for a few mins, kthdsn just read you chat, I really hope you can have a better rest of the day keep your chin up x :)

6:33 am

o-o

You don't need one. Do what you have to do .... you are entitled to grieve .... in the end, you must pick up the pieces and move on.

6:33 am

jean1953

bbl later:)

6:33 am

kthdsn

bye jean

6:34 am

o-o

You said before when you friends came you would cry with them ... do it ... let all the emotions out

6:38 am

kthdsn

I miss having someone to hug and kiss and stuff, I miss chatting about nothing while I fall asleep, I miss having a man here

6:41 am

EspritdJean

(((((kthdsn)))) will a cyber hug help?

6:41 am

kthdsn

it helps a little jean

6:42 am

EspritdJean

do you have local support...close friends or family?

6:43 am

kthdsn

no, everyone I know in the UK lives at least 30 miles away

6:43 am

EspritdJean

do you have support groups in your area?

6:44 am

kthdsn

we moved here 2 and a half years ago and i haven't met anyone here, he made loads of friends at the pub where he works but he never introduced any of them to me, so he's gone off with a load of people around him and left me all on my own

6:45 am

mousey

hi all

6:45 am

kthdsn

hi mousey

6:46 am

EspritdJean

I know from the chat that this is very new and so still very raw

6:46 am

kthdsn

a friend is meant to be coming over today but I don't know what time and I don't have his damned phone number

6:46 am

EspritdJean

do you work outside your home?

6:46 am

mousey

hi mousey aaa i mean kth

6:46 am

kthdsn

i did but I quit

6:47 am

mousey

no no kth

6:47 am

EspritdJean

anything you can do to keep yourself connected to the world will be helpful

6:47 am

mousey

no swearing kth

6:47 am

EspritdJean

and tell your friends that you need hugs!

6:48 am

Tiny

Good Evening Everybody

6:48 am

Denny

is it me or is this a seemingly nasty grid? i just cannot see words today!

6:48 am

kthdsn

my mum should be online soon so I will be able to chat to her, but it's not the same as her actually being here

6:48 am

kthdsn

denny it's a horrid grid

6:48 am

kthdsn

hi tiny

6:49 am

Denny

soo many phantom words...

6:49 am

kthdsn

brb I'm going to go pamper myself a little, see if I can cheer myself up

6:49 am

mousey

she better not see that your swearing

6:49 am

mousey

we can do that

6:50 am

EspritdJean

my free advice, worth exactly what you paid for it, is: respect your emotions as babblerabble said, try to involve yourself in activities and always have something to look forward to. And let people KNOW what you NEED

6:51 am

Tiny

Hi kthdsn

6:51 am

mousey

6:57 am

Tiny

Hi Mr P

6:57 am

mattygroves

Can anyone clue the two an6s?

6:58 am

Denny

tx for that one matty

6:58 am

kthdsn

I have one an6, it's a plural, silly stuff you get up to, sorry not a great clue

6:58 am

majmom

good day all-been so busy with the holidays and kids being home plus working no time to babble lately-need a clue for the an 6/24 and an 7/32?

6:59 am

mattygroves

I've got the plural one, but not the an6/24 (and thanks for what, Denny?)

7:00 am

ursh

an7/32 - someone or thing that is against motor vehicle

7:00 am

mattygroves

Got that one - I'm after an6/24...

7:01 am

mousey

kth want to see what i might be for holloween?

7:01 am

kthdsn

Halloween? it's January...

7:01 am

mousey

so

7:02 am

featherbee

morning! is this one as tough as yesterday's?

7:02 am

mattygroves

AN6/24 help please?

7:02 am

ursh

sorry matty dont have

7:02 am

M.P.

Question generally directied to everyone: Is Qu 1 ir 2 letters ... more generally, do words have to be four LETTERS or four TILES?

7:02 am

mousey

kth do you want to see or do you not?

7:02 am

kthdsn

yes feather it's mean

7:02 am

kthdsn

ok mousey

7:03 am

M.P.

Sounds interesting, mousey ... I]

7:03 am

featherbee

qu is counted as two letters

7:03 am

mattygroves

Letters - so QU4 has four letters including the u.

7:03 am

doraphilia

M.P-- qu counts as 1

7:03 am

M.P.

It's still the aprostrophies ... I'm already planning

7:03 am

doraphilia

I mean two sorrry!

7:03 am

riemann

four LETTERS. I have an example today....

7:03 am

mattygroves

Pllleeeassseeeee....an6/24...?

7:03 am

doraphilia

I need the an 6/24 too!

7:04 am

M.P.

So ... it counts as TWO, dorphilia?

7:04 am

mousey

go to ebay then type in wwe superstar gear then go to the first thing you see

7:04 am

majmom

any more hints to the an 7

7:04 am

mattygroves

For example one of the Qs is a four letter word meaning to give up - three tiles, four letters.

7:04 am

doraphilia

yes, a word with qu and two other tiles counts as a 4-letter word.

7:04 am

riemann

matty: try an adjective form of one pole of a battery for the first an6

7:05 am

kthdsn

mousey I see different stuff to you since I'm in the UK

7:05 am

M.P.

Mousey, we're stuck in Babble land till we do this puzzle, or at least have more than one word ... just tell us.

7:05 am

riemann

the an7 is a compound word

7:05 am

mousey

so

7:05 am

ursh

an7 = an4/4 + ca4/5

7:05 am

M.P.

And kth's problem ... but I guess I can look (you're in the US, right?)

7:05 am

mattygroves

Thanks Riemann!

7:06 am

Karys

an6/24...a + opp of yes + little richard !

7:06 am

8:44 am

featherbee

8:44 am

Excuse me a moment, Callie Bunny is chewing my PJs---this is rabbit talk for "Give me a snack!"

Scrabbler

Hah, mo5,14 is my mother's maiden name!

Scrabbler

8:56 am

Haz1558

Still - you're a lot further on than me. And paint drying? They even make television programmes about that now!

M.P.

I looked ... not that scary, really

11:10 am

mousey

dont no hursh

11:10 am

M.P.

Dorens and hurshy, on the topic of profiles, have really neat pictures ... well, Hurshy's is more cute, but anyway

11:11 am

hurshy

well if you don't have an opinion, how do you know that it isn't scary?

11:11 am

M.P.

My opinion is that it's true, but I find that for things like that children aren't as scared

11:11 am

hurshy

my, this di is elusive!

11:12 am

Enci

hint?

11:12 am

o-o

curdled cheese product

11:13 am

hurshy

the di i miss is a curdled cheese product?

11:14 am

o-o

or what g i's sometimes sleep on

11:14 am

Aloyisius

maybe it is the di5.14 that refers to a major division of the plant kingdom; the plants with two seed leaves

11:14 am

hurshy

thanks brabble

11:14 am

M.P.

I now wish for three-letter words to be allowed, although that would be easy to find

11:14 am

M.P.

(they would, I mean) ... but I know it's never going to happen

11:15 am

mousey

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

11:15 am

hurshy

personally, i think brabble's quote is empowering. the leaders have an advantage if they know this and the people don't. but if the people realize this, then they can say... we're mad as heck and we're not going to take it anymore!

11:15 am

hurshy

uhoh, did mousey get caught in a mousetrap?

11:16 am

M.P.

I have to agree hurshy that it's empowering

11:16 am

sherb

thanks Aloy :)

11:17 am

hurshy

i'll have to try to remember the def of that di5.

11:17 am

M.P.

I think so, and it was just luck that it pushed O-U-C-H-!-!-!-!-! and so on

11:17 am

smooth_pappa

I disagree, when you look at the other covert actions that we are learning about, that have beengoing on to strip that voice and power away from the people en masse

11:17 am

M.P.

Got to have lunch now, ta-ta for now

11:17 am

11:17 am

hurshy

11:19 am

mousey

i just smashed it in to a a wooden chair

11:19 am

hurshy

i would like to share that i have found 2 mo7 and 2 ri7. if anyone else feels inclined to share what 7's they have found, i certainly wouldn't object.

11:20 am

hurshy

why would you do that, mousey?

11:20 am

smooth_pappa

no not at all... but the mindset of our current administration is chilling to me... The rationale that they use to defend some of these actions. And I know that (i hope) the actions aren't doene with sinister intent, but intent doesn't always matter all that much...

11:20 am

mousey

didnt see it

11:20 am

inge

BabbleR, just read your bio. How true, how true!!! To whom was Goering speaking?

11:45 am

Scrabbler

If you start with the list, Al, you can avoid the math.

11:46 am

hurshy

sometimes, if i'm really depressed and don't feel like playing anymore, or if i have a real busy day, like on christmas

11:46 am

sherb

...is not a word...

11:46 am

Scrabbler

Cool, Al! I saw sandhill cranes at the Jacksonville Zoo--noisy birds!

11:46 am

Jacula

Correct, sherb.:)

11:46 am

Aloyisius

lol, scrabbler... I'm afraid my grey matter would atrophy since Babble is such a challenge listless... however, I know my limit and I just can't see weirdo words so it is hopeless to try

11:47 am

Aloyisius

yes, they do squawk a lot..

11:47 am

Jacula

Incidentally, my sunset ic4/5 IS my own work. I took it in N. Wales in 2004.

11:47 am

Aloyisius

wow, Jacula.. nice!

11:47 am

Haz1558

Do you know, Jacula, until I looked at it more closely, I thought it was a glass of water.

11:48 am

Jacula

Thanks, Aloy. It was a beautiful silver sunset as we walked on the beach.

11:48 am

FMitch

Lovely and serene Jacs

11:48 am

Haz1558

Should I make an appointment with the optician or just start wearing my reading glasses?

11:48 am

Jacula

Haz - LOL. I see what you mean.

11:48 am

Scrabbler

It is beautiful, Jacula. And Hazel--go see an eye doctor.

11:48 am

Haz1558

So ,Wales 2004 wasn't the year of the Liverpudlians and the scaffolding?

11:49 am

Jacula

Haz - put the specs on! Mind you, I have my varifocals on and I can see what Hazel means.

11:49 am

Haz1558

Yes, sit back from the computer, avert your gaze slightly and see if you don't see a glass of water!

11:49 am

Jacula

No, Haz. This is a summer pic. The Liverpudlians & The Scaffolding (sounds like a group) were in November.

11:50 am

Haz1558

I remember The Scaffold. They were from Liverpool as well.

11:51 am

Scrabbler

Can someone accidentally put the following words in the chatbox? Second co5,12; fourth co4,5; third co5,12; second co6,21; the fourth and fifth co5, 12's, and the last co6,21. I will sit in the penalty box with you to keep you company.

11:51 am

Haz1558

Anyway, before I drown in nostalgia, I must toddle off. Nice to see you all - happy hunting!

11:51 am

Jacula

Yes, Haz. Just what I was thinking. Never thought of it at the time or I'd have made lots of silly jokes about it.

11:51 am

12:13 pm

hurshy

Yes, because I have learned so many weird words! My friends say, "Is THAT really in the book?" And I say, "Yes, I learned it in Babble."

12:14 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, that too, hursh.

I noticed too, hursh, over the last few weeks.

12:53 pm

hurshy

as soon as i pointed out this inconsistency, you'll note, M.P. was quick to flee. i am worried about M.P.'s intentions, esp with kids around, like mousey. was asking mousey's gender earlier. let's all try to protect the children.

Very true BR but if one person has the sense to say something then we can all become more aware and keep an eye out.

1:29 pm

harpjane

ok atalante, (glad you asked!) I think that if people don't want you to wear shoes in their house, and they invite you over, then they should 1. tell you ahead of time and 2. offer slippers or something when you arrive, rather than expect their guests to go barefoot or in their stockings.

1:30 pm

Scrabbler

Clues for na6,21 and na5,10 please....I am suffering with this gr4.

1:30 pm

hurshy

oh harp, they did a sex and the city episode about that!

1:31 pm

Scrabbler

I agree, Jane.

1:31 pm

harpjane

I'm not talking about cultures where there are differing customs. I'm talking about Montana. I use inserts in my shoes and I am very uncomfortable without them.

1:31 pm

hurshy

na6 is a pl

1:31 pm

harpjane

tell me about it hurshy

1:31 pm

hurshy

na5/10 is n + breathing stuff + vowel

1:31 pm

o-o

harpjane, I would have about-faced and been out-of-there!

1:31 pm

harpjane

I think the practice of hospitality should "over-ride" the practice of wanting to keep your carpet clean....

1:32 pm

Atalante

I agree harpjane! or turn a blind eye and let people wear their shoes!

1:32 pm

hurshy

um... carrie went to a party and they made everyone take off their shoes because they had a young child who crawled and they didn't want him to eat dirt. and carrie was wearing ridiculously expensive shoes (surprise surprise) and then when she went to leave someone had stolen them

1:32 pm

o-o

if it was a meeting .. go to neutral ground

1:32 pm

KatieMcG

Thanks scrabble. I don't have people wearing shoes in my house as I have cream carpets and never thought it was an issue before........oops!!

Duh on the na6--I had formed the na5 singular in the other direction.

1:33 pm

hurshy

we don't wear our shoes in the house, but when people come over i give them the option. most people take them off, but if they don't feel comfortable doing so, they leave them on and that is fine.

1:34 pm

Scrabbler

If the shoes are clean and dry then it is a non-issue.

katie, i can understand that. I hope offer alternatives. I was at a dinner party recently where the host and hostess had very nice slippers for themselves but the guests all were in stocking feet. All I had was my thin nylon stockings.

1:34 pm

ursh

i have the ri7 - italian cheese i think - clue for the other please

1:34 pm

hurshy

(i don't even really GIVE them the option, they usually ask cause they see the shoe rack full of shoes, and i say, whatever you want to do is fine)

1:35 pm

LoriP

Babies need their peck of dirt/germs to build their immune systems! Shoes on is a silly issue. Just use common sense, IMO.

1:35 pm

KatieMcG

scrabbler, that's the problem with my house, i am on a new estate and there is loads of mud around. It's not an issue in the summer but as soon as it rains it's a nightmare. Honestly cream carpets what a muppet!!

1:35 pm

hurshy

you need to change the 3rd and last letters, ursh

1:35 pm

Scrabbler

My feet are cold all of the time--even in the summer I sleep with socks on--so in the winter I like shoes or slippers on.

1:36 pm

Scrabbler

I have cream carpeting throughout my LR and DR.

1:36 pm

Atalante

if I want someone in my house, I want them enough to get the vacuum cleaner out afterwards if they traipse mud in!

no shoes? what's next, sniff the socks so the child isn't gagged by odor?

We have cream carpet and it's a nightmare with kids. I can't WAIT to rip it up!

we have boot scrapers outside our doors; most of our friends know about them. When we have company, we suck it up and clean up later.

1:37 pm

KatieMcG

I've just sold my house and the next one will not have cream carpets downstairs!! funnily enough I now expect to take my shoes off in all houses I enter which gets me some very strange looks if it's not expected by the host :-)

1:37 pm

LoriP

The hub thinks it should be illegal to sell cream colored carpets. LOL

1:38 pm

Jane, do your friends (the ones not allowing shoes) also have their furniture covered in plastic and require toilet seat covers?

1:38 pm

hurshy

i like giving people the option because then at least there is at least LESS dirt, but nobody has to be made uncomfortable.

1:38 pm

harpjane

If I know ahead of time I bring my own slippers. Ok, NOW I'm done!

1:39 pm

hurshy

the furniture covered in plastic thing is so weird! it's to keep it looking nice, right? but since it has plastic on it, it looks like crap!

1:39 pm

ursh

We have warm/hot climate here so most floors hardwood or ceramic tile with loose rugs so shoes not an issue

1:39 pm

there is another commercial i found ineffective, but maybe it was just me. it was for one of those job-hunting websites. they have a young guy being interviewed by an old guy, but the old guy isn't listening, he's making up funny things about his jujubes, like which colors are king and queen. and so they're like, you're better off using our website. but to me, the young guy is boring and i relate to the old guy with his jujubes.

hurshy

oh, and scrabbler and mousey have got on the bandwagon too... i'm going, i'm going...

2:17 pm

M.P.

Hurshy technically should go exersize because if you don't excersize the excess calories and fat won't get burnt and if you don't burn your excess calories and fat all of it will build up in your body, more particularily in front of your stomach, and then it will shape into a big round ball and you're fat. So there.

2:17 pm

4:46 pm

EspritdJean

4:47 pm

libarebel

state*

4:47 pm

cybernan

fa 6/30: the piece of board that runs along the edge on the eaves of a roof

4:48 pm

EspritdJean

ok have that now

4:48 pm

EspritdJean

but don't see how that leads to a state of enthrallment

4:48 pm

cybernan

drop a letter from the enthrallment word

4:49 pm

jakenizzy

espritdjean... you're not alone, i've been struggling with this one all day... and i'm dumb enough to not know what the 6 - board is ...

4:49 pm

EspritdJean

lol

4:49 pm

EspritdJean

that fa6/30 is also referred to anatomically in muscle/ligaments

4:50 pm

wurdygurl

4:52 pm

Shannon1

the state of awe is also a shop similar to Victoria's Secret

4:52 pm

cybernan

4:53 pm

any clues for the an6 for 24

5:22 pm

kristinc

umm...sort of...not a whole lot at first (although I ended up with an infection and consequently some extra ultrasounds to make sure all was well). They will start watching really close at 30 weeks with non stress tests every 5 days and at least now, they are willing to induce about 37 weeks which will help us rest easier...not as long to wait :) but really from all they can tell, our issues with him were random (although he was a really active baby)

5:22 pm

klaurel

discovered that it is too much hell. I like being at home and living off my hubby

5:23 pm

kristinc

welcome back klaurel!

5:23 pm

OUCH, Kristin! I had stress tests TWICE a week for like 3 months, restricted activity, and bedrest for 2 days

8:38 pm

mymuseisme

8:38 pm

lbd - isa - but there's some amazing fan fiction out there, you just have to sift through a lot of 'iffy' stuff

8:53 pm

evanonut

i imagine she'll come out with something else though

8:53 pm

K.Elisabet

I've watched Singing in the Rain several times in the last couple of weeks - my seven year old thinks it is the funniest thing ever.

helenkeller

well, nut, i guess i learn something new everyday!

8:55 pm

8:55 pm

aknitter

grrr i keep tyong in the fa 10 and it won't take it grrrr

8:55 pm

K.Elisabet

You are correct,Kalea. What else was Donald O'Conner in? I can't think of anything off the top of my head.

9:32 pm

Minveryork

It is a little bit of both. I think the actual moving will be the pain. However,once we move,we'll be happier.

9:33 pm

K.Elisabet

I think I have some personal associations that make reading Dostoevsky difficult for me too; I'd just finished Brothers Karamotzov when I was diagnosed with lymphoma twenty years ago. I kept trying to read more of his works during and after treatment and just couldn't do it.

9:33 pm

K.Elisabet

I have no problems with Tolstoy though
