FranMag

marpocky, i'm thinking that could be a great lifestyle, one husband to do the laundry, one to cook, another to do my nails...

2:43 am

sprite

or "pendelen', though that word is a bit oldfashioned now.

wurdygurl

FranMag

wurdygurl

sprite

Too good to be true, almost, Fran :)
And fireworks.

2:48 am

wurdygurl

congrats sprite

2:48 am

FranMag

wurdy, he may have learned the lesson on his own! especially if you let the kids "wake him up" in the morning.

2:48 am

FranMag

yay sprite!

2:48 am

sprite

I hate laundry, wurdy. I just detest cooking far more.

2:49 am

wurdygurl

2:49 am

FranMag

2:50 am

wurdygurl

FranMag

2:50 am

wurdygurl

good night

2:50 am

marpocky

night fran

2:51 am

sprite

that's terrible, wordy! I am the ungrateful one here, my kids love about everything we cook and my husband is just the same. They value everything I cook. I just hate having to do it every day.

2:52 am

wurdygurl

you are quite lucky...it has gotten to the point where I just tell them to eat a pbj and that is dinner I dont cook for them anymore

2:52 am

marpocky

just cook for 30 days all at once and throw it all in the freezer

2:52 am

Ankhorite

nite, fran... heck, Wurdy, that's a decent deal

2:52 am

Ankhorite

Let them eat pbj. It's good for them and easy on you.

2:53 am

sprite

I need to guess here. Pbj... would that be peanut butter jelly sandwich?

2:53 am

Ankhorite

Sprite? Fireworks? Congrats! Yes.

2:53 am

wurdygurl

freezer not that big mar - plus I buy frozen pizzas and they take up a lot of room...they like the cheap cardboard pizza. and they like fruit so yes, easy on me

2:53 am

sprite

yeah! Got some idiom down on my own :D

2:53 am

wurdygurl

you got it sprite

2:54 am

Ankhorite

*doesn't cook. ever.*

2:55 am

VolleymomDee

I have an odd question.... are there any folks here who like to pray for other people?

2:55 am

Ankhorite

after the day I fouled up a microwave hotdog, Dear One has begged me to stay out of the kitchen.

2:55 am

wurdygurl

lol that is one thing my kids make well...anything in the micor

2:56 am

sprite

Ankh - why didn't I think of that!
Volleymom: almost every day

2:56 am

Ankhorite

Dee, I know Helen Keller does the white-light thing for people in trouble.

2:56 am

wurdygurl

scrambled eggs in the micro they are a whiz at that

2:56 am

VolleymomDee

what is the white light thing?

2:57 am

Ankhorite

Hmmm, well, I'm not her, so it's hard to describe, but it's kind of a new-age meditation where she pictures the person/dog/etc bathed in white light. She's Bahai; don't know if this is their thing, or her own thing.

2:57 am

Ankhorite

I can do eggs in micro if I remember to poke them, so no kabloom!

2:58 am

VolleymomDee

hmm I've never heard of that before

2:58 am

wurdygurl

ank - only 1 min per egg no kaboom no poke

2:58 am

wurdygurl

what do you have going on dee

2:59 am

Ankhorite

yeah, there are a few traditions that do it -- wiccans, some of them; and other new age traditions; and you'll have to ask Helen about the Bahai. And maybe... maybe Buddhists? Not sure?

2:59 am

VolleymomDee

interesting

2:59 am

Ankhorite

*used to throw a little cheese in with the eggs*

2:59 am

Ankhorite

Dee, what Wurdy says -- are you okay?

2:59 am

wurdygurl

yum and bacon bits

3:00 am

Ankhorite

Nobody trusts me with bacon.

3:00 am

wurdygurl

i dont cook the bacon I buy the salad bits

3:00 am

Ankhorite

Fakin' bacon!

3:00 am

VolleymomDee

my adult daughter had a bad break up today with a boyfriend; she is heartbroken, even though it was a mutual thing. My mama's heart hurts for her.

3:00 am

Ankhorite

"A mother is only as happy as her unhappiest child."

3:01 am

VolleymomDee

She thought they would work out differences and possibly get married.

3:01 am

VolleymomDee

soooo true

3:01 am

Ankhorite

I'm sorry, Dee, for you & for her.

3:01 am

VolleymomDee

ty sweetie!

3:01 am

wurdygurl

that is rough dee

3:01 am

sprite

Good thoughts and prayers will never hurt, Dee. She'll be in my thoughts for a bit now, an dyou too.

3:01 am

Ankhorite

Hmmm.... if that means "he'd change," she's better off this way, because that doesn't happen.

3:01 am

wurdygurl

it always hurts when dreams die

3:01 am

wurdygurl

same here

3:02 am

VolleymomDee

she is such a sweet and lovely woman now; ty so much sprite!!

3:02 am

Ankhorite

*agrees with Wurdy*

3:02 am

VolleymomDee

exactly wurdy!

3:02 am

Ankhorite

I did not find Dear One until I was THIRTY-EIGHT YEARS OLD.

3:02 am

wurdygurl

I was 30

3:02 am

wurdygurl

and we met on the internet

3:03 am

Ankhorite

And the waiting was not pleasant; but it would have been worse if I had settled and then had had to separate. I would have hated that.

3:03 am

wurdygurl

married in 4 months still going strong 9 years and 2 kids later

3:03 am

VolleymomDee

Lots of her friends are getting married or having babies, so I think she feels "pressure" from peers. Ank, that is what I told her tonight.

3:03 am

wurdygurl

I hear you ankh

3:04 am

Ankhorite

Dee, you're absolutely right, tell her to hang on. Marriage isn't like going to prom. You don't have to just cuz everyone else has to.

3:04 am

wurdygurl

heck, her peers probably enby her

3:04 am

wurdygurl

ooops envy

3:04 am

VolleymomDee

For sure!!! LOL

3:04 am

Ankhorite

I did a consult with a canon lawyer -- you know what that is? -- re annulment of a Catholic wedding.

3:04 am

sprite

I was almost 30 before I met my love. Wrestled with an alcoholic before that. And am ever so glad I stuck to what my heart told me and waited, because I couldn't be any happier with any other man. Over 11 years together now and 2 kids, and still in love.'

3:04 am

Ankhorite

If they don't envy her today, they will when they are divorcing while their kids aren't even in kindergarten yet.

3:05 am

wurdygurl

that catholic things mystifys me

3:05 am

Ankhorite

Anyway, he was working on an annulment for people who had gotten married just cuz everyone else they graduated with was getting married, with no mature judgement about it, in order to fit in -- and

3:06 am

Ankhorite

wanted to think about what would be acceptable grounds for annulment. I suggested fraud, akin to "green card" fraud (immigration fraud, Sprite) because they were just looking for a passport to a certain social status.

3:06 am

VolleymomDee

wow tough situation

3:07 am

sprite

I would go with the fraud suggestion

3:07 am

wurdygurl

how long were they married

3:07 am

joey

done and fading out. good night and good luck

3:07 am

sprite

(and thanks for the explanation, I will remember that one)

3:07 am

Ankhorite

Wurdy, with a compassionate judge -- which my buddy was -- it's easier than you'd think, because a marriage in the face of pregnancy is considered coerced; and lying to the priest who married you about it is considered fraud; and the Church will annul both of those on the grounds that no true adult, informed, freely-formed marriage ever took place. No matter how many kids you have.

3:07 am

Ankhorite

Night-night, Joey.

3:07 am

wurdygurl

night joey

3:07 am

VolleymomDee

night joey

3:08 am

Ankhorite

Sprite, not EVERY canon judge will go for it, but many will.

3:08 am

sprite

bye and wtg, joey

3:08 am

Ankhorite

Wurdy, this couple, 3-4 yrs, I think.

3:09 am

Ankhorite

About 21 when wed, and about 25 when they looked at each other and thought, "Huh? WHAT? Why am I here?"

3:09 am

wurdygurl

my parents were married for 9 years and then my dad decided to go off and have a affair with his secretary (yes, he is a walking cliche) so after that marraige also ended he met and married his third wife

3:09 am

Ankhorite

Wurdy, the sec didn't realize that if he'd dump one woman, he'd dump two? Don't mean to be hurtful, but...?

3:09 am

wurdygurl

then, since she was catholic, he converted and had his marraige to my mom annuled. i am older now and I get it but boy was I mad back then

3:10 am

wurdygurl

told you he was a cliche what made it worse was her name was bambi

3:10 am

Ankhorite

Anyway, Dee... did you like your daughter's BF? Or will you be glad he's gone?

3:10 am

wurdygurl

and you are not being hurtful this wa sa long time ago

3:10 am

kierlex

good evening everyone

3:10 am

Ankhorite

Wurdy, it always feels like an insult, especially to the kids, to hear (Goodnight, Kier!) that the marriage "never existed" but

3:10 am

VolleymomDee

hi kier

3:10 am

sprite

LOL wurdy, that's too much.
Hi kierlex

3:10 am

wurdygurl

hello kierlex

3:11 am

Ankhorite

But... If the original marriage was induced by pregnancy, that's an automatic annulment.

3:11 am

Ankhorite

Or if they (him or her or both) can prove to the "Defender of the Bond" that they didn't have mature intent... OR...

3:11 am

kierlex

how is the grid tnite? looks hefty!

3:11 am

wurdygurl

nah, not in our case....they were high school sweeties....I still dont fully get it, but whatever differences make the world go round

3:12 am

Ankhorite

OR... if they had an antenuptial agreement -- that's an automatic annulment, cuz the Church considers it proof that they never were TRULY committed to a lifelong bond. Oh, HS sweethearts, then probably grounds were "lack of mature intent"

3:12 am

wurdygurl

oh yeah, the grid, forgot about that lol

3:12 am

sprite

It is rather ok, kier, some stupid words, but lots of nice ones. It is a pretty fast grid too.

3:12 am

Ankhorite

Me too... Dee? Are you there?

3:12 am

kierlex

well i am just starting...

3:12 am

VolleymomDee

sure am

3:13 am

Ankhorite

Kier, there's some silly words in the J's... alternate spellings of something that probably came to English from the French.

3:13 am

wurdygurl

well, with a guy who marries his sec that he is cheating with named bambi who is btw your basic nightmare, then cheats on her and she cleaned him out took everything left him with a cooler and a hot plate lol

3:14 am

Ankhorite

I'll be thinking of your girl tomorrow. Just tell her (from all of us?) she's too good to settle. Waiting is hard, hard, hard, but trying to force a fit is much harder.

3:14 am

VolleymomDee

wow just desserts

3:14 am

kierlex

ok, thanks ankh

3:14 am

wurdygurl

never settle good things come to those who wait...cliches are cliches for a reason

3:14 am

VolleymomDee

so true Ank I'll remember that!!

3:14 am

Ankhorite

Wurdy, sounds like you think the punishment fit the crime... but it means he couldn't support his kids through college? Or your mom?

3:14 am

Ankhorite

:::Bambi? sheesh:::

3:15 am

wurdygurl

oh, he paid child support and stuff

3:15 am

wurdygurl

told ya basic nightmare

3:15 am

Ankhorite

And Dee, always helpful (bet you've already said it), better to split now before there were little ones on the scene.

3:15 am

Ankhorite

Yeah, well... shame on him anyway. Dunderhead.

3:16 am

wurdygurl

yeah he was a jerk, but he grew up and was pretty terrific later in life

3:16 am

VolleymomDee

I mostly listened tonight; she wasn't seeking advice yet, just comfort. I have thought for the last several months that something didn't "feel" right... a mom's intuition I think..

3:16 am

Ankhorite

I was ecstatic when my mom finally divorced my dad, even though we were poor & he didn't pay child support.

3:16 am

marpocky

for sure if a split was going to happen, much easier emotionally and financially to do it before marriage

3:16 am

Ankhorite

*nods with marpocky*

3:16 am

wurdygurl

exactly...

3:17 am

sprite

*more nodding here*

3:17 am

wurdygurl

people who dont pay child support...have no sympathy for them

3:17 am

sprite

we have to kiss a lot of frogs before we meet our prince

3:17 am

VolleymomDee

Totally agree!

3:17 am

marpocky

you could always tell her about how your lifelong dream of her becoming a nun is working itself out! ;)

3:18 am

Ankhorite

And the warts! the warts!

3:18 am

wurdygurl

Dee - Y ou can let her know that yes you talked about her and people in babble land all support her

3:18 am

sprite

Lol marpocky - don't think she's open to humor yet.

3:18 am

VolleymomDee

My hubby's dad has never even seen our daughter, and he lives less than an hour away...

3:18 am

marpocky

provided you do it when she's in the right frame of mind for a joke

3:18 am

VolleymomDee

lol

3:18 am

kierlex

my true love flips between frog and prince quite regularly

3:18 am

Ankhorite

Shame on HIM, Dee. shameshameshame!

3:18 am

VolleymomDee

ty wurdy I will

3:18 am

Ankhorite

Well, I worship my Dear One, except for when I want to strangle them. :)

3:18 am

sprite

Same here, Dee, my father never saw our kids.

3:19 am

kierlex

oh volley, that is sad. my dad has only seen my kids a few times and he lives in the same state

3:19 am

VolleymomDee

He is such a creep. She saw him from a distance at a funeral once, but he didn't even walk over to say hello. Those kind of men irritate me to death!

3:20 am

Ankhorite

My parents divorced at 14 years; he died 4 years later, only 39 yrs old. And again, we were happy about it. AND we finally got some support via Social Security -- not much, but a little. Unfortunately, Reagan cut orphans' benefits, so kids these days get no support after 18.

3:20 am

sprite

they are the ones that are missing out, Dee. Not the ones they ignore.

3:20 am

Ankhorite

How does she feel about it, Dee?

3:21 am

VolleymomDee

so true

3:21 am

wurdygurl

dee - that is ridiculous...but sadly, happens all the time. I have a half brother (that sounds wierd dont even think of him that way) anyway he has never met his dad....my mom pointed him out in home depot once and dthat is that. He has met some of his other half siblings though

3:21 am

Ankhorite

Well, yeah, sprite, but... but it's hard not to having a doting grandpa / grandma. So the grandkids DO miss out some. I had the best gramma in the whole world -- not her fault her son was a waste of space.

3:22 am

VolleymomDee

She adored my hubby's stepdad and my dad, so she had great grandfathers regardless. We were blessed!

3:22 am

Ankhorite

I can't even imagine how that brother feels.

3:22 am

Ankhorite

Ah, good, no loss then! :)

3:22 am

VolleymomDee

LOL waste of space = a big fat zero (in my mom's words)

3:22 am

Ankhorite

Heh. I had to fight wiht my mother for YEARS before she learned to stop saying "YOUR father" instead of "MY ex-husband." She picked him, I didn't, not MY fault.

3:23 am

marpocky

some people simply don't care about anything but themselves. i can't identify, but it's out there

3:23 am

wurdygurl

he doesnt talk about it. but he is a good young man just finished college and he is awesome. Great athlete and musician and teacher

3:23 am

wurdygurl

hey he is your age marpocky

3:24 am

Ankhorite

And probably determined to treat HIS kids much better. My dad is the reason my brother & I both chose not to have kids.

3:24 am

wurdygurl

my brother that is

3:24 am

sprite

Ankh, I know. My mother-in-law died when I was pregnant with my daughter. My father-in-law never bothered about his grandkids and with her missing, did not even pretend to anymore. My father did not care either. Only my mother is grandparent to my kids. And even though she has given me hell from birth till now, I keep contact with her just because of the kids. They love each other.

3:24 am

Ankhorite

:::starts humming "Dating Game" theme:::

3:24 am

Ankhorite

Darn, Sprite, that stinks. I wish you had nice older friends who could be substitute grandparents. :( Sorry, honey, it must be hard.

3:24 am

wurdygurl

people can be so wierd

3:25 am

Ankhorite

Er... the humming was for Wurdy's brother and Marpocky!

3:25 am

marpocky

how...sweet. um, i guess

3:26 am

wurdygurl

there are nice older people who would love to see kids depending on how old you are go to a nursing home and visit. My kids love doing that and we hae three grandparents around

3:26 am

Ankhorite

Marpocky, she sez he's musical...

3:26 am

wurdygurl

I wasnt trying to do a set lol guess I am still tipsy from the days festivities

3:26 am

Ankhorite

OH! Marpocky! Sorry! I thought you were a female. A hetero female, to be precise, whoops, sorry.

3:26 am

marpocky

TEEhee :) i wondered

3:26 am

sprite

Thanks Ankh *hug*
It really stinks, but at least we have lots of loving people around us who love our kids to bits as well. Not really grandparents, but still great.

3:27 am

Ankhorite

::::blushes::::

3:27 am

wurdygurl

whoops set up marpocky has a boy color and my brother is a boy not there is anything wrong with anything but my brother is soley into girls

3:27 am

Ankhorite

Sprite, are your kids bilingual?

3:27 am

marpocky

i was wondering when you'd notice the little blue person next to my name

3:27 am

marpocky

and that, wurdy, your brother and i have in common

3:27 am

Ankhorite

DOH! I never, ever noticed the different colors until you pointed them out!

3:27 am

wurdygurl

LOL

3:27 am

sprite

Mine? No, why should they be?

3:28 am

VolleymomDee

I have always believed that just because you are related by blood does not make you family. You can "choose" your family, and be surrounded by people who adore you!

3:28 am

Ankhorite

English / Dutch?

3:28 am

sprite

Dee, I am totally with you.

3:28 am

Ankhorite

:::still mortified over gender whoops:::

3:28 am

sprite

They are totally Dutch, just as we are, Ankh.

3:28 am

wurdygurl

I was just thinking that Marpocky could probably identify better with how he feels since he is the same age.....I , perhaps should go back to the brewery

3:28 am

VolleymomDee

They are nothing more than genetic donors.

3:28 am

marpocky

quite alright ankh. fun to play along

3:29 am

sprite

boys get a blue handbag on babble.

3:29 am

wurdygurl

I totally agree dee

3:29 am

Ankhorite

So... are they bilingual, by which I mean, do they speak both languages?

3:29 am

Ankhorite

LOL, not a handbag, don't tease me! Little person!

3:29 am

Ankhorite

I've been on Babble for months and never caught the pink/blue thing.

3:30 am

sprite

No, we all are native Dutch speakers, so nobody is bilingual here. They are taught english at school though, my son started last year. They pick up so fast at that age.

3:30 am

wurdygurl

that is ok ankh - you are intent on knowing people and dont need to know gender just their ideals

3:31 am

sprite

neither gender nor inclination matters much, as long as you are not in love.

3:31 am

Ankhorite

Okay, I'm confused -- Sprite, you're a native Dutch speaker with perfect English, so I'd call you bilingual -- right? Txs, Wurdy.

3:31 am

kangabrat

i don't seem to have a handbag... hi all!

3:31 am

wurdygurl

they do look like hand bags!!!!

3:31 am

sprite

hi kanga - perhaps you did not check your gender in your profile?

3:32 am

Ankhorite

Kanga, true! No little person, no flag!

3:32 am

Ankhorite

No, she did, I just looked, Sprite

3:32 am

kangabrat

i've tried... i've tried...

3:32 am

sprite

that's very strange

3:32 am

Ankhorite

Write to Dr. God down at bottom of page, he'll fix you up.

3:32 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all.

3:32 am

Ankhorite

The "send them" link -- Hi, Haz!

work for drG

3:33 am

hi Haz

3:33 am

Ankhorite

You work for Dr G?

3:33 am

Haz1558

(I'm waving to all)

3:34 am

marpocky

sprite, bilingual simply means you can speak 2 languages. like, dutch and english

3:34 am

Ankhorite

And how is Spangle today?

3:34 am

sprite

lol, no not at all! I just suggested this is work for DrG, to fix kanga's handbag.

3:34 am

Ankhorite

Yeah, Sprite, now I get it.

3:34 am

Annie1953

morning all :)

3:34 am

Ankhorite

*agrees with Marpocky defining bilingual*
Hi, Annie!

3:34 am

VolleymomDee

fireworks finally!!! Hi Annie

3:35 am

Haz1558

Spangle is exploring uncharted territory upstairs. There must be something interesting in the waste-paper bin.

3:35 am

Ankhorite

Annie doesn't have a little person or a flag, either.

3:35 am

sprite

Almost all dutch people are at least bilingual then, but not from birth. We are such a small country that we always had to learn other languages. But schooling starts at about 9 yo, mostly.

3:35 am

Ankhorite

congrats, DEEEE!

3:35 am

sprite

Morning Annie!
But Annie did not fill in the whole profile, I think. Kanga did.

3:35 am

marpocky

is english the most common taught in schools? or perhaps french or german too?

3:35 am

Ankhorite

Yes, I'd heard that about the Netherlands. Hey, what, exactly, is "Flemish" and where is it spoken?

3:35 am

VolleymomDee

ty ty... well, need to get going. Ty all for your sweet support. Have great fun babbling!

3:36 am

marpocky

flemish is a belgian dialect

3:36 am

Annie1953

Hang on I'm new to this but will get there

3:36 am

marpocky

night vmd

3:36 am

wurdygurl

yes, I think I can finally go back to bed...get a few hours before the kids start jumping on me

3:36 am

VolleymomDee

Hugs to all. *Poof*

3:36 am

Haz1558

Flemish, spoken by some Belgians.

3:36 am

Ankhorite

Annie, if you click "my account" and fill in your gender and country, and we all refresh, maybe we will see your national flag.

3:36 am

sprite

English usually is .... darn, what is the word I need, most schools demand that you learn english. French and german too, at least a couple of years. Some schools teach spanish too.

3:36 am

Ankhorite

NITE DEEE!

3:37 am

Ankhorite

Mandatory, sprite. Or required.

3:37 am

marpocky

mandatory is the word sprite

3:37 am

Haz1558

Compulsory, mandatory

3:37 am

sprite

flemish is a Belgian LANGUAGE! Not a dialect. Argh!

3:37 am

marpocky

compulsory perhaps

3:37 am

Ankhorite

Yeah, compulsory too.

3:37 am

sprite

Thanks :) Will remember.

3:37 am

marpocky

yes sorry. that's in fact what i meant

3:37 am

Ankhorite

So Belgians speak Flemish? They don't speak Belch?

3:37 am

Ankhorite

:::runs and hides!:::

3:38 am

sprite

There is an eternal language war in Belgium between the Flemish and the French.

3:38 am

marpocky

i wish the US was a little more forceful in the teaching of foreign languages. we have a smattering of spanish and some french in high school mostly, but we're pitiful compared to most other countries

it's the same in oz, marpocky.

3:39 am

sprite

Probably because a huge part of the world speaks english, marpocky. Dutch is pretty rare :)

3:39 am

Ankhorite

Ah, well, that helps! I agree with Marpocky. I was pretty fluent in German via high school and exposure as a toddler -- but that was 30 years ago, it's gone now.

3:39 am

Haz1558

The learning of languages in Europe is rather more necessary because of the geography.

3:39 am

marpocky

it may be a bit lofty, but i'd like to be able to speak 8 or 10 languages conversantly

3:39 am

Ankhorite

Sprite, how close is Dutch to Afrikaans? Can you read their newspapers? Understand them when they speak?

3:40 am

Ankhorite

Marpocky, go for it. I have friends who can. The canon lawyer, in fact: Latin, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, English, German and something I forget.

3:40 am

sprite

To read Afrikaans is easier than to understand it when it is spoken, but I usually can manage.

3:40 am

Ankhorite

Polish, maybe? He spent a lot of time in Rome.

3:40 am

marpocky

i guess i see how geography affects it. oz and new zealand both speak english, so there's no big country nearby with another language. here, spanish and french cover pretty much the western hemisphere save brazil. europe is swimming in languages

3:40 am

sprite

Go for it, marpocky. With every new language it gets easier, because you will see underlying structures much easier.

3:41 am

Ankhorite

With German, I can *almost* read Afrikaans, sorta kinda -- i can get a general sense of what they're talking about, but that's it.

3:41 am

Ankhorite

It amazes me Basque still exists.

3:41 am

marpocky

in addition to english, i know varying amounts of spanish, russian, and japanese, and would like to also learn french, dutch, german, italian, portuguese, polish, mandarin, and arabic

3:41 am

sprite

German is close to Dutch, but Afrikaans is much closer.

3:42 am

kangabrat

feeling inadequate here...

3:42 am

Ankhorite

OOOOH! Dear One started Mandarin out in California -- no use for it here in Virginia, though.

3:42 am

Ankhorite

Kanga, don't. At my age, my German is gone and I have only a desperately small spattering of Spanish -- adonde esta el banyo?

3:43 am

sprite

why on earth should you feel that way, kanga? We all excel in our own things and ways! You do too.

3:43 am

sprite

lol Anhk - that's probably like "papa fume un pipe"

3:44 am

kangabrat

at least i can spell inadequate...

3:45 am

kangabrat

and a smattering of tok pisin! (language of my birthplace, papua new guinea)

3:46 am

sprite

wow!

3:46 am

marpocky

adonde estÃ¡ el baÃ±o (or where is the bathroom for that matter) is so much easier than saying dansei-yoo no o-tearai wa doko desu ka

3:46 am

Ankhorite

Yes, but that's the most important phrase in any language!

3:47 am

Ankhorite

Of course, crossing your legs and bouncing up and down is pretty universal, but lacks dignity and politesse

3:47 am

sprite

but will induce fast help, usually

3:48 am

kangabrat

but if it gets you what you need...

3:48 am

kierlex

boy you all are full of energy and chat tonight =)

3:50 am

sprite

And it is much politer than saying "Do you point me the bathroom now or do I wet your carpet?"

3:50 am

sprite

which is what a friend of mine said after having to listen to endless stories on the rebuilding of the house, when he asked for the bathroom.

3:50 am

kangabrat

i once had to work out the greek to explain my daughter had had an accident on the sheets... (she was 3 months old)

3:51 am

sprite

that's terrible, kanga. Was she okay?

3:52 am

Ankhorite

Naaah, Kier, I'm tired... this is my last hurrah. :)

3:52 am

Ankhorite

"An accident" as in a full diaper, or "an accident" like fall down go boom?

3:52 am

kangabrat

she was fine... just a mistime with the nappy... but hard to explain from a greek phrasebook

3:53 am

kangabrat

that's diaper...

3:53 am

sprite

ah, ok, still tough but not as urgent :)

3:53 am

Ankhorite

Sprite, maybe you read "street" for "sheet"?

3:54 am

sprite

I did - only see it now! Thanks.

3:54 am

sprite

I even see phantoms when not working the grid :(

3:55 am

Ankhorite

Your mother's heart led you astray. :)

3:57 am

sprite

as usual, LOL

3:58 am

Ankhorite

Ladies, (and Gent, Marpocky), I'm whupped...
this is goodnight. :)

3:58 am

4:02 am

4:04 am

wouldn't that be something, to actually see it happen! I think I'd kneel, really! :)

4:04 am

kierlex

but it did happen near here (if you read the national geographic link in my profile)

4:05 am

marpocky

kier are you in the cda area?

4:06 am

I enjoyed the chat very very much today :)
Thanks all, for the chat and the clues and all the fun and sharing. Have a great day/night/whatever!

annie lickety's list is up

4:14 am

Annie1953

new to this so where do I find it

4:15 am

marpocky

down under "friends of babble" there are links. one of them says "lickety's babble clues"

4:15 am

Haz1558

Open a new window with babble in it, scroll down to Friends of Babble, bottom left of page, click on Lickety's babble clues. Reduce it in size and you can have Lickety's list beside your own words. Enter your words in Lickety's list and it will place them automatically.

4:15 am

Annie1953

Thanks for that fed up with struggling here

4:16 am

5:40 am

Haz1558

Okay, I shall take myself and the dog off to get some fresh air. Then my daughter's car is due for MOT later today (inspection for roadworthiness) and I have to get it steam-cleaned underneath. That means driving it up and reversing off a ramp. I don't like doing it very much, but I will NOT be like some other women who step out of the car to let the man drive it up. I'm no feminist but you have to take a stand somewhere. Hope to see you again tomorrow!

Haz1558

na5/10 (no na5/12) - part of South Africa, or relating to birth

10:19 am

Haz1558

la6/27 - resembles the accompaniment to myth, but spelt with a different first vowel

10:19 am

Haz1558

la6/27 - also looks like a call for a finish to delay

10:19 am

10:29 am

LoriP

It's pretty sweet, minus the snow part.... :( A word total please?

10:29 am

10:29 am

doxy1lover

10:30 am

hurshy

the snow is the best part! what's the point of it being cold if you don't have the pretty snow?

10:30 am

doxy1lover

we have some of that too.

10:30 am

Uneaixoise

hursh, we were 75 yesterday, dropping to 35 this afternoon! insane!

10:30 am

10:30 am

Wyrd

10:30 am

Uneaixoise

but you've got power, right? those poor folks who are iced in with no power . . . jeezomeez

10:31 am

hurshy

it's a very weird season.

10:31 am

Wyrd

yeah, losing power when its freezing is unthinkable torture

10:31 am

doxy1lover

that is so true

10:31 am

bunnyvicious

We have ours, it was off and on for a bit, there is so much ice frozen on the lines. Thank goodness we didn't lose it! We'd have frozen.

10:32 am

o-o

-13 and I don't mind looking at snow in a picture

10:32 am

Uneaixoise

we had that about 15 years ago--had no power for 3 days--the worst was after the sun set . . . no street lights, pitch black dark--besides being cooold

10:33 am

LoriP

We're rural, and have always had wood heat. The power being off is a nuisance, nothing more, fortunately.

10:33 am

Wyrd

that happened to me about 3 years ago Uneaixoise, and we had never lost power in our little town for more than an hour

10:33 am

doxy1lover

babble, you can keep those temps ok, please don't send them my way. I'm cold enough

10:33 am

Wyrd

coldest time of winter and we lost it for 4 days

10:33 am

LoriP

So, is the word total 259 or 269? :-)

10:34 am

Uneaixoise

wyrd, I had friends who live in a very wooded area where tons of trees came down and they had no power for TWO WEEKS . . . and had to buy a second chainsaw--wore out the first one!

10:34 am

doxy1lover

259

10:34 am

Wyrd

10:34 am

bunnyvicious

Our oven is propane, I'd have hung som eblankets and turned that puppy on high!

10:34 am

LoriP

After White Juan, the winter hurricane in Halifax, I had friends who had no power for 6 days. It was terrible for their neighborhood.

10:34 am

Wyrd

camping gear always saves our butts

10:34 am

LoriP

Thank ye.

10:35 am

Uneaixoise

it's really tough when you have pets too--I could have stayed with friends but couldn't take my dogs!

10:35 am

The kids have spray bottles of colored water, and are snow painting their fort.

11:18 am

spanner

It was hot when we went...there were days when I thought I was going to melt

11:18 am

bunnyvicious

I can take 109 as long as it isn't to humid. We had a neighbor who moved from Iowa I think it was, I didn't see him leave the house all summer long.

11:19 am

os 6/18 - add to pilfer

11:19 am

11:25 am

high humidity bothers me more since I passed age 60. have never been to Fl or Hawaii and only once to California. Now that I could go there in the winter, I don't feel like travelling anymore. Must have boated or flowen to Europe (Germany espeically) some 20 times.

11:26 am

raelite

humidity in hawaii is nothing...there's always a breeze

11:26 am

spanner

I found california and florida ok inge Did the california highway, maybe the heat is worse inland?

11:26 am

spanner

Sorry I meant hawaii

11:26 am

bunnyvicious

I have no urge to go to Hawaii (I don't fly), but you're not missing out on Cali or FLorida. It's so hard to breathe and you always fill sticky.

11:26 am

raelite

I'm sensitive too and it never bothered me when in Hawaii...it was always perfect

11:27 am

spanner

I cant type and read at the same time!!!

11:27 am

bunnyvicious

*feel

11:27 am

raelite

you have to go to Hawaii, bunny...it's the most unbelieveable place..you can always cruise there

11:27 am

bunnyvicious

I can barely breathe and read at the same time, don't feel bad.

11:27 am

spanner

I loved hawaii, and there is always a breeze. My nephew married an hawaiian girl

11:27 am

bunnyvicious

I don't do boats either...

11:27 am

Strider

Any clues for the jo 5,20?

11:28 am

Strider

Just found it - thks anyway

11:28 am

raelite

a cruise ship isn't a boat, it's a floating city with malls, restaurants, parks

11:28 am

spanner

Dont you just love cruising

11:29 am

raelite

I've only been once, to Hawaii, but it was amazing. My parents are doing a circle hawaii in may from san diego

11:29 am

bunnyvicious

And lots of strange people. I'm VERY claustrophobic, water makes me freak too. Not a good mix for me. When they build a bridge, then I'll go!

11:29 am

raelite

lol bunny!

11:30 am

inge

I did a cruise of the Baltic sea in 2001, the other ships were crossings as a student to Germany, returning to USA at agge 14, and going to Germany at age 20 mos.

11:30 am

spanner

LOL

11:30 am

raelite

I guess I'm just used to "boats" there aren't any bridges to the island here, you have to take a ferry or a plane

11:31 am

spanner

We are talking of doing one to st petersburg, copenhagen etc. We are hopefully going with some people we met on our last cruise

11:31 am

inge

On one of those huge cruise ships you may never get to ssmell the sea air. I dont care for those cities on water

11:31 am

raelite

sounds like a blast, spanner...would love to do the med someday

11:31 am

bunnyvicious

I can do short ferry rides.

11:32 am

spanner

Have a balcony!!! LOL

11:32 am

raelite

it's about 90 mins, bunny

11:32 am

spanner

We have met some great people on cruises, and all americans, because we like the american cruise ships..

11:33 am

bunnyvicious

Nope, looks like we'll never meet! It's not the boat I'm scared of, it's the water.

11:33 am

raelite

I"ll probably never get to go...I can't leave the continent for more than 2 days right now...hawaii is ok, but not europe

11:33 am

12:38 pm

hurshy

ann, the number one thing you need to know is this: do not question why certain words count and certain other words don't. the enable dictionary is inexplicable, and to ponder these questions is the path to madness.

12:38 pm

torgone

Of which I am proof ..

12:39 pm

stidmama

Angelsong, I think it's wonderful, and am going to print it out for my great-aunt who plays scrabble and doesn't use computers...

2:17 pm

Angelsong

stid, is it a little more helpful?

2:18 pm

periwinkle

lynxxx got the fabric one :) didn't understand Babblers clue, are they for the same word?

2:19 pm

lynxxx

They are Peri. There is no ta7.32 - it was asked for incorrectly

2:20 pm

periwinkle

Okay I was going in circles looking for a ta7/32 when I already had the ta7/52, bad BabbleRabble sending me on a wild goose chase :)

well you had me confused Babble when you clued a ta7/32 and there isn't one.

2:23 pm

Peri - BabbleR's was a great clue - he was just responding to a clue requested by using the point value asked for - even though it was wrong!

2:23 pm

sukee

po 7/40 = an letter must have po***** on it in order to be mailed

2:28 pm

Babble Rabble my post at 2:20 was typed with a smile at the end

2:28 pm

smaller

the comments had humor for a tone, not literal. more like irony/sarcasm.

2:29 pm

stidmama

sorry, was deep in a blog... yes Angelsong, I think it is wonderful. Much easier for me to pick out the ones I use frequently, and easier to find ones that others suggest as well!

2:31 pm

smaller

besides peri's known for timing not negativity. like finding her own words moments after requesting a clue. it's her gift. and iconic. as in "i pulled a peri"

2:32 pm

hello all! I'm new to this and feel a little at sea. Can anyone tell me how you know how many words of each length etc. there are ? I just upgraded to 'pro' (something of a misnomer for me!) and I don't see any difference to before. Thanks!

4:38 pm

P.J.

welcome cadanam

4:39 pm

cadanam

thanks hodag :)

4:40 pm

grammaterri1

hi cadanam, welcome!

4:40 pm

jillibus

Hello cadanam! If you hadn't passed the 2-week trial period when you went pro you wouldn't notice any difference except that you now have a flag and an icon and a profile. If you hadn't gone pro you would have lost the tiles and the number of words to find and such. For help, scroll down to Friends of Babble and go to AngelSong's link. For the 2-letter start to words, go to LicketySplit's link. Have fun!

4:41 pm

Dachef

cadaman - the biggest diff when you go pro is that the tile stats show you how many words you haven't found. Sigh. Anyway - welcome but beware! This stuff is addictive!

4:42 pm

cadanam

hello gramm and thanks jillibus - that's a great help! Unfortunately Dachef, your advice comes a little late as I'm already burning the midnight oil babbling :)

4:43 pm

grammaterri1

welcome to the addiction cadanam ( :

4:44 pm

Dachef

cadanam - wait till you wake up on the keyboard! You know you've got it bad when you print off the tile stats and take it to work. And whatever anyone else tells you, the drugs dont work.

4:44 pm

grammaterri1

babblers are great cluers too, if you get stuck, just ask ( :

6:10 pm

jillibus

Well, The Scarlet Letter is pretty well known as are many of his other works but maybe American Lit is not a big focus in the UK?

6:38 pm

Minature person? Mumbiling Psychopath?

6:38 pm

M.P.

I have already spent time on the grid -- now for my 75% of time on Babble that I spend in the chatterbox -- PROFILE!!!

Dachef

je5 - je + unit of measurement (weight) + plural. Add another consonant to the middel to make 2 others.
