Hi all! Kind of a sad day ... went to a viewing for a 51 year old...

12:46 am

corpsvalue

is that like a wake?

12:46 am

salmocreston1

thanks Douglas. Does that mean that I just go with my imagination that changes minute by minute?

12:46 am

VolleymomDee

.. visitation at a funeral home ... for family of someone who died

12:46 am

VolleymomDee

similar

12:46 am

corpsvalue

Ah, OK. Sorry to hear that.

12:47 am

Douglas

Well, not exactly, because there is a theme for each day, and people use their imagination in following the theme of the day...

12:47 am

VolleymomDee

ty....his dad, who is 74, really had a tough time... burying one of his sons...

12:48 am

salmocreston1

Okay, how does one figure out the theme for the day?

12:48 am

Douglas

It is a Babble custom that the Friday theme of the day is a word from the grid...

12:48 am

salmocreston1

epox

12:48 am

corpsvalue

bummer. mr bro-in-law just passed in Feb. He was 59. Then I was stuck in the northeast blizzard over valentine's day for three days. Not a great week.

12:49 am

jillibus

salmo -- there is an icon theme every day -- see Lickety's page for Icon Themes. Today's (and every Friday's) is a word from the grid which will be a clue. I haven't got mine yet -- just got here. Click on the icons to see what they are and why.

12:49 am

Douglas

Good thing that wasn't a word...

12:49 am

Amiku

I'm gonna get going

12:49 am

1:08 am

VolleymomDee

totally understand, and I am certainly glad to listen; my mom died in 1990 and my dad in 1998, and I still miss them terribly; I sooo wanted to have them see our daughter grow into the lovely young woman she is now... it IS very nice to talk to someone who understands

1:09 am

Hugabugs

1:09 am

sprite

and a good heart, Dee :)

1:10 am

VolleymomDee

wow I bet hug! aww , dear sprite, love ya! ty

1:10 am

1:10 am

VolleymomDee

ty nan

1:11 am

sprite

lol, looks like I am going to learn a new word today, nan :)

1:11 am

helenkeller

tx voll :)

1:12 am

VolleymomDee

yw helen... me too sprite... having to ponder that one

1:12 am

helenkeller

hugabugs - that's so hard, how old were you when he died (i ask cause my parents had me late in life, my dad was 45 when i was born)

1:13 am

Hugabugs

I was 20, and he died exactly 4 months to the day before my wedding.

1:13 am

helenkeller

nan - is that the same word that chic has in her icon - something to do with silk? (i don't know this word either sprite)

1:14 am

Hugabugs

My brother was 14, one sister was 16 and the other sister was 19

1:14 am

cybernan

yes it is a type of silk

1:14 am

sprite

that's tough, Hugs :(

1:14 am

VolleymomDee

oh hug, how tough that had to be for you

1:15 am

cybernan

didn't know someone else had it too -- thought I was being quite original!!!

1:15 am

helenkeller

hugabugs - that's so sad, though it's good you were old enough to have formed mature memories of him - but how sad, right before your wedding

1:15 am

helenkeller

nan - hey it's original for me!

1:15 am

Hugabugs

My Mom took it extremely hard... she ended up having a nervous breakdown.

1:15 am

VolleymomDee

I love the colors in your icon nana

1:15 am

VolleymomDee

nan lol

1:16 am

cybernan

could I have a clue for the re 8-9 combo?

1:16 am

chic

well

1:16 am

cybernan

guess it's just re 8

1:16 am

jillibus

I remember that kind of silk being very popular in pre-1939 Shanghai

1:16 am

Hugabugs

re + spy (and pl)

1:16 am

sprite

must have added to your grieve and probably took away a lot of the opportunity to focus on your own grief, Hugs. Really tough :(

1:17 am

helenkeller

huga - you know i think that's a big problem, people aren't given enough space & time to feel the grief - there's all these other pressures too

1:17 am

lynxxx

TY C'nan for the po - though it took a bit to remember it

1:17 am

cybernan

yw, lynxxx

1:17 am

VolleymomDee

totally agree... folks keep telling you to "move on" like there is a time table for grief and that time table is supposedly the same for everyone; that is nonsense

1:18 am

Hugabugs

it's funny that we're talking about this. Today my Mom told me I'm a replica of my Dad.

1:18 am

VolleymomDee

what triggered that?

1:19 am

lynxxx

Is there a re 8&9 ? I have the re 7& 8.

1:19 am

sprite

how was it for you to hear that?

1:19 am

MVA

aargh!! i lost babble!

1:19 am

helenkeller

exactly volley - i couldn't agree more - i think that moving (any kind of move) is difficult enough in the first place, but moving through grief is moving through uncharted waters, and each death affects one differently, so the best way is to take your time, otherwise, you're not really dealing with it

1:19 am

Hugabugs

re7x2 and re8

1:19 am

jillibus

still puzzling over that re8/9 clue -- re + spy.

1:19 am

cybernan

no it is re 7-8 -- a clue, please?

1:20 am

cybernan

no re 9 --- my mistake, sorry

1:20 am

Hugabugs

you know - spy --- like the song... Secret Ag*** man

1:20 am

jillibus

I have an re6/7...

1:20 am

VolleymomDee

re + who helps Hollywood people find jobs, movies, shows

1:20 am

cybernan

ty jilli -- got it -- better pass that fish in the grid this way

1:20 am

MVA

got to go now, happy babbling all!

1:20 am

VolleymomDee

good clue hug

1:21 am

CyborgScrabbler

re9, there is not one?

1:21 am

jillibus

that's the re6/7 I have, hugs

1:21 am

lynxxx

re + Maxwell Smart was one (re7&8)

1:21 am

VolleymomDee

aww loved that show

1:21 am

Hugabugs

Sprite - I felt proud to be like my Dad when she told me.

1:21 am

jillibus

OH, I see -- an extra vowel!

1:21 am

CyborgScrabbler

re8 ... in the back, you will find the mens toilet

1:21 am

VolleymomDee

1:21 am

sprite

yay jilli!

1:23 am

jillibus

1:23 am

helenkeller

1:35 am

VolleymomDee

pin the information on his sleeve like you do a preschooler lol

1:35 am

lynxxx

hey Helen. I would just like you to know that I remember your parents "heart & head" vividly. I have told so many people about that and what it means. It has great meaning for me.

1:35 am

sprite

LOL mrP!
Tell him to pay in advance and charge double? Might sober him up.

1:36 am

saphyre

I don't have a room - I work here - and no he was not good looking or good smelling !

1:37 am

saphyre

lol Dee - I pretty much did that once I found out where he belonged

1:37 am

Douglas

saphyre

he couldn't find his wallet

1:37 am

helenkeller

lynxxx - wow, thanks, you just gave me shivers :)

1:38 am

Douglas

5:00 am

Haz1558

Thank you!

5:00 am

thx haz

5:00 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Andree.

5:00 am

Scrabbler

Good morning Babblers. I awoke at 4:46 with a migraine and I am here to relax as I could not sleep.

5:01 am

Scrabbler

Eva, Pida and hodag--you are up early too.

5:01 am

Haz1558

Good morning Scrabbler - migraine is not nice, hope the light from the computer doesn't make it worse.

5:02 am

Andree

hi scrabbler, hope this grid doesn't make the head worse

5:02 am

Scrabbler

I just need a distraction as lying in bed, feeling the throb was not helping.

5:02 am

Scrabbler

I like your icon, Hazel, and it gave me 2 words as it is intended to.

5:03 am

P.J.

sorry Scrabbler,I hope you feel better shortly!! I am trying to get use to being anther year older today ! :)

5:03 am

Haz1558

That's good - it's done its job, then.

5:03 am

Scrabbler

Happy Birthday, hodag!!!

5:05 am

Andree

re7/36 please

5:05 am

Scrabbler

Don't fret about getting older, it is better than the alternative.

5:05 am

Haz1558

re7/36 - re plus someone like James Bond who was secretive about his activities

5:05 am

lynnet

re + ge 5/14

5:06 am

P.J.

TY Scrabbler, the numbers sure are getting big ! :)

5:06 am

Haz1558

Or re7/36 - plural for re6/24 - a person appointed as interim ruler when the king is deemed too young to rule.

5:07 am

Scrabbler

But, the number reflects experience and gathered wisdom. Would you want to be an adolescent or twenty-something again? Not me.

5:07 am

Andree

thx, have that lyn, need 2nd re7/36

5:07 am

Haz1558

Andree - it may be the plural appointee for government.

5:08 am

Andree

oops, have it sorry

5:09 am

Haz1558

I'd like my mature head on my young body. Can that be arranged?

5:09 am

P.J.

It sure is. Dick said he was going to get me a cake with candles but,he thought the fire department would have to come out to put out the fire!!

5:10 am

Andree

lol, hodag

5:10 am

Scrabbler

I am still looking for that option, Hazel, but it works backwards, doesn't it. Our bodies peak at 25-30 or so, and our minds take longer.

5:11 am

P.J.

5:13 am

Haz1558

But look how well we're looking after our minds....

5:13 am

P.J.

P.J.

5:16 am

Haz1558

ve5/20 - usually preceded with re to indicate some sort of reciprocal punishment

5:16 am

Scrabbler

Often the grids merge into one another, or maybe that is because I spend so much time in Babble Land.

5:16 am

Eva

Scrabbler

*birthday

5:19 am

Eva

-24, but it's going to get up to 18 today, and then be in the 40's by Sunday, with rain and sleet. They are very worried that the river in downtown Montpelier will flood this weekend. Have published evacuation routes, etc.

5:19 am

P.J.

That silly kid his mind never stops!

5:19 am

Andree

thx haz

5:20 am

Scrabbler

We have the same concerns here, Eva---warming with flooding.

5:20 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Andree.

5:20 am

billmster

Toput your head on the young shoulders photographically

5:21 am

Haz1558

Ah, I see. The only problem is that I don't have any digital photos of when I was young - nor a scanner. But it's worth bearing in mind!

5:21 am

Eva

all of the stores in town have emptied out their basements. Apparently this happened in 1992 and water in the streets was up to peoples' waists. No problem outside of town.

5:22 am

6a

eva-yikes!

5:22 am

Scrabbler

What a nightmare, Eva.

5:22 am

Eva

They've been emptying warmer water from the treatment plant into the river, hoping to free up the ice jam, but I guess no success.

5:22 am

ARB

Wow, Eva -- nightmarish

5:23 am

Eva

It doesn't mean that it will flood-it's sort of like pick up sticks I guess, and if we're lucky it will thaw without incident.

5:23 am

P.J.

WE're suppose to get up to 40f today I can hardly waite. our area is concerned about flooding also, I am glad we live on a hill.

5:23 am

hurshy

that reminds me of a thing in a book, only it was a log jam in that instance

5:23 am

Eva

So you must be a day or two ahead of our weather hodag

5:24 am

Scrabbler

Hi hurshy! Are you doing well? Better than a week ago, right?

5:26 am

Scrabbler

You are traveling through a "narrows" right now, when life is confusing and uncertain and transitional. We all pass through them, but they are tough, as we aren't quite sure where we are going.

Haz1558

Good question, hetty - I'll have to do some research on that.

9:47 am

Haz1558

And well done, Atalante!

9:48 am

Atalante

the eel's scientific name is co6 - its from the greek meaning lumpy

9:48 am

ConXshun

lumpy eel!!!??? lol!

9:49 am

hetty

Don't bother. Just curious, Haz. Language fascinates me so. My guess would be a place, but the dear knows where it is

9:49 am

Atalante

most marine eels have lumpy looking heads

9:49 am

Atalante

is that what you were asking, hetty?

9:49 am

Haz1558

It's the genus name for the eel. Comes from congridae.

9:50 am

ConXshun

they're a delicacy here in holland...

9:50 am

Haz1558

congridae being the family. Who want to think about a family composed of eels???

9:51 am

Atalante

they do taste nice

9:51 am

Haz1558

They sure don't look nice...

9:51 am

Atalante

actually, Haz, the co6 is the original. the family name is then derived from the genus name

9:51 am

hetty

O.K.ooked it up--its a family of eels noted for the prouberance on their heads.Atlante is quite right. Thanks, both

9:51 am

Atalante

um yeah, I'm a marine biologist :P I know too much about eels!

9:52 am

Haz1558

Thank you, Atalante - you're much better versed in these things than I am!

9:52 am

hetty

but I don't think I'll try the flavour thanks

9:52 am

Atalante

its a waaaaaay old name, don't know who described it first but the description been around for ages. people liked describing marine things as lump way back then

9:52 am

ConXshun

it's more or less like a mixture of squid and herring...

9:53 am

Haz1558

Babbler - Shaun the sheep is on.

hetty

9:53 am

Atalante

lumpfish tastes nice too. and their eggs

9:53 am

ConXshun

lol hetty! bash someone over the head with a bludgen and that's what you get

9:54 am

ConXshun

lumpfish never got a better name then?

9:54 am

Atalante

nope. still lumpfish, poor things

9:54 am

ConXshun

Everything in nature is lumpy ....

9:55 am

Hi there

lumpy oatmeal

9:55 am

Atalante

I still bear the scars from being bitten by a co6 eel many years ago. horrid lumpy thing.

9:55 am

ConXshun

they could at least give them spelling a tweak, make it more intersting. Like: lummpheesh

9:55 am

Hi there

one lump or two?

9:56 am

ConXshun

oh dear ata! was that during your research?

9:56 am

ConXshun

lol, hi there - and hello!

9:56 am

Atalante

lurmpfish

9:57 am

ConXshun

... and you could've taken a bite out of him too...!

9:57 am

Atalante

no actually. was helping out at Bristol Zoo cleaning the fish tanks - they were huge and you had to use scuba kit to get into them properly. they had 1 nice eel, and 1 - um - problematic eel ... and that day he was VERY problematic!

9:58 am

ConXshun

I'd never have thought eels had characters... pitbull eels... hmmm

9:59 am

Atalante

eels are mean. give me a shark over an eel any day

9:59 am

Atalante

but yes, eels are very much individuals!

9:59 am

ConXshun

Really? maybe that's why they eat them over here... eat them before they get you, sort of thing!

10:00 am

Atalante

I love eating eels. It's my continued revenge!

10:00 am

10:01 am

Atalante

for a fish, eels are pretty intelligent. they certainly watch you while you're near, and come close for a better look, and often swim behind you for a while. *shudder* they are the only thing underwater that really freaks me out!

10:01 am

pabtrek

Haz1558

No fish needed, eva - and eels are off!

10:05 am

ConXshun

How do dolphins react to eels?

10:07 am

Atalante

I have no idea! I can't imagine they interact too much, eels tend to stay in their holes or lurk along the sea bottom. happy dolphins stay in the open water

10:07 am

ConXshun

ah - oceans apart... not surprising really.

10:08 am

Atalante

I've got a wonderful video clip though of some idiot dive instructor in egypt pulling one out of its hole by its tail for the "amusement" of his students. the eel turned round and chomped the heck out of his leg. served him right!

Stid you're really getting into this, aren't you?

10:53 am

stidmama

Niamh -- can you arrange to have a vet check the dog before you actually pay anything?

10:53 am

Babbler

Niamh, isn't that the same as rottweillers?

10:54 am

stidmama

LOL a nice distraction from the over-busy week and the sick (again) kid.

10:54 am

stidmama

no no rottweilers are WAY different from valhunds

10:54 am

Niamh

yes, the breeder I've looking at is VERY good, she's the best breeder I've ever talked to. Her dogs are not her income, they are her family

10:54 am

Babbler

I knew a rotty who had similar problems. Lovely dog. Poor thing.

10:55 am

Haz1558

I'm looking up my dog book now - it looks like a German shepherd crossed with a corgi.....

10:55 am

Niamh

Vallhund is a small dog, weight is between 20 and 30 pounds

10:55 am

chic

Watch the animal planet channel on Sat mornings; they always have dog shows and you can learn about the breeds and see them in action..

10:55 am

stidmama

Niamh, that sounds like our Jillibus! she used to breed danes. Her "babies" were living to 15 years!!! (they usually live three to five)

10:55 am

72 Temple Owl

hello babblers - it's lunchtime!

10:55 am

Niamh

10:55 am

Babbler

It's certainly a handsome dog, Niamh

10:55 am

chic

Hey Temple!

10:56 am

AARGH TO! *hands line to coil and mug of grog*

10:56 am

Babbler

Hi T-Owl! : )

10:56 am

72 Temple Owl

ty babs for that clue! hi all!

10:57 am

Niamh

I've been invited to the breeders house to see her dogs interaction with my kids... that's what's important to me

10:57 am

72 Temple Owl

chixie re you kidding> it is reall get ove rit day?

10:57 am

CiociaJudy

10:57 am

Haz1558

My caution would be the expense, but it claims to be undemanding for grooming and feeding and has a friendly temperament. Sort of describes me, really.

10:57 am

CiociaJudy

LOL Haz.

10:57 am

stidmama

speaking from personal experience, *I* have hip dysplasia. I can cope with it, but I would be really aware that fixing a dog's hip dysplasia can be very expensive.

10:58 am

72 Temple Owl

hi judy hi chix hi stid hi niamh hi haz hi ursh *deep breath*

10:58 am

Niamh

but are you house trained Haz?

10:58 am

Babbler

oh pants! I forgot to load the washing machine!

10:58 am

chic

Have you looked at the Basenji? they look terrific and very family oriented...

10:58 am

Niamh

hello TO

10:58 am

stidmama

and what exactly are we getting over chic? LOL *and hoping it's not pirating*

10:58 am

Haz1558

Indeed I am, very dependable in that regard.

10:59 am

stidmama

*grin* see you soon Babbler... *need to get the kids' clothes in the washer soon*

10:59 am

Haz1558

And hello TO!

10:59 am

72 Temple Owl

oh bye babs.....

10:59 am

chic

today has been declared National Get Over It Day...get over what you want to...

10:59 am

Takuma Sato

a basenji owner *strongly* recommended against getting one -- apparently they get destructive quickly if not constantly attended to

10:59 am

Niamh

I'll check out the basenji, thanks chic!

11:00 am

stidmama

okay! :-)

I choose to get over the notion that a clean house means a functional family...

11:00 am

Scarlet

Haz, you're funny and don't even realize it... "Depends" is a brand of adult diaper in the U.S.A. LOL!

11:00 am

CiociaJudy

sounds like 2 year olds, takuma! LOL

11:00 am

Takuma Sato

heh, except basenjis are silent

11:00 am

Babbler

brb. I forgot to check I had eggs when I started making an omelette earlier this week... didn't realise till I was half way! :s

11:00 am

stidmama

probably like all intelligent dogs, Takuma! our shepherd can really be a pain if he feels neglected.

11:00 am

Haz1558

Well, thank goodness I am dependable on my own!

11:01 am

Scarlet

:-)!

11:01 am

Niamh

destructive? I really like Jack Russel's but the destructive factor is keeping me from getting one... my yard is not really what you might call "big"

11:01 am

Takuma Sato

I know what you mean, stid, though I don't know that basenjis are all that smart

11:01 am

stidmama

hey Scarlet! when did you show up?

11:01 am

stidmama

confidentially, takuma, I am not sure my shepherd is that smart! ;-)

11:01 am

Takuma Sato

I have had that problem more with smart cats than with smart dogs

11:02 am

Takuma Sato

heh, stid -- I won't tell him

11:02 am

Haz1558

Jack Russell's are extremely active - intelligent (look at Eddie in Frasier) but active....

11:02 am

Scarlet

I've been lurking, in and out, getting phone calls from travel-crazed daughters and sick sister, etc., ad nauseum. Hi, all!!

11:02 am

Haz1558

Hello Scarlet!

11:03 am

CiociaJudy

Hi Scarlet

11:03 am

Haz1558

And I apologise for the redundant apostrophe in Jack Russells.

11:03 am

Scarlet

Hello Haz and Stid et al.

11:03 am

Scarlet

Hi CiociaJudy!

11:03 am

walnutchen

morning all... total for today>

11:03 am

Niamh

I've had all sorts of breeds in the past, my personal favorite was an Australian Shepherd, but again, my yard just won't cut it

11:03 am

stidmama

right now the shepherd is whining and pacing, pacing and whining: it's not raining! ball! ball! outside! ball!

11:04 am

Haz1558

Whereas my springer spaniel has had a walk and is lying snoring peacefully....

11:04 am

stidmama

with winter and all, I no longer have a back yard, I have a three-foot deep mud pool...

11:04 am

caitlyn

Hi all.....174 today walnut

11:04 am

Haz1558

174 words to find, walnutchen.

11:05 am

stidmama

hi walnut!

11:05 am

walnutchen

thanks, Caitlyn, Haz.... How are you guys?

11:05 am

Scarlet

We loved our Boston Terriers and English Bulldogs... now, it's my faithful old cat.

11:05 am

Niamh

hello walnut

11:05 am

Takuma Sato

my neighbor just got a 1-yr old catahula. I suspected she had no idea what she was getting herself into, and this has been recently confirmed.

11:05 am

chic

Basenji's don't bark, they yodel! and they are fastidious like cats, supossedly very intelligent. Any dog that is not properly trained can be a house problem..

11:05 am

walnutchen

hi nimah! how goes?

11:05 am

evanonut

tacos was good

11:05 am

caitlyn

Im great thanks..how is everyone else?

11:06 am

stidmama

?catahula? *off to look it up*

11:06 am

Niamh

it steadily moves right along... how are you walnut?

11:06 am

Haz1558

My dog book doesn't even list a catahula....

11:06 am

Scarlet

Hi Cait and Niamh.

11:06 am

walnutchen

have you ever had tacos from Jack in the Box? They're horrible for your health, but sure taste good!

11:06 am

stidmama

Scarlet

The Leopard Dog?

11:08 am

Takuma Sato

lol, niamh - I love it

11:09 am

caitlyn

LOL Niamh

11:09 am

Haz1558

Yes, it's a leopard dog. Not terribly attractive to my eyes.

11:10 am

Takuma Sato

I think they're gorgeous, but they're pretty much bred to be incorrigible

11:10 am

Scarlet

The ugliest canine I ever saw was a Chinese Crested... so doggons :-) homely!

11:11 am

Haz1558

The Chinese crested is not a looker, I have to agree.

11:11 am

Scarlet

"Not a looker".... oh, Haz, diplomacy is one of your many strengths...

11:11 am

Niamh

they're not so bad when they are not shaved to look stupid

11:12 am

caitlyn

Sounds abit like my hubby Niamh!!

11:12 am

Niamh

11:12 am

Scarlet

I didn't realize that Niamh, I thought they were naturally bald on most of their bodies. A friend had to use an SPF70 on its back to prevent sunburn.

11:13 am

Haz1558

Diplomacy is my middle name! _ there are two versions of Chinese crested - one, the hairier version used to be despised, the one without hair, is naturally hairless.

11:13 am

72 Temple Owl

hi sccarlet and all joiners

11:13 am

caitlyn

Hi TO

11:14 am

Hi TO! Welcome to the amateur Westminster Dog Show!

The hairy one is called the Powder Puff, and looks less of an apology for a canine.

11:15 am

Niamh

he's a hotty!! He was my wallpaper for a long time chic!

11:17 am

phandmd

12:03 pm

Niamh

so with nothing to do the baby decides that getting a small adrenaline rush from cussing at stranges is a good idea? Wow! sounds like a great time... and she put down what we were doing...

12:03 pm

evanonut

but where has baby gone?

12:04 pm

evanonut

12:04 pm

Niamh

12:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

idn't beg for attantion though

12:05 pm

Niamh

12:08 pm

hurshy

lol

12:08 pm

ewwww, bet that's difficult to do under the king.

12:08 pm

12:08 pm

Niamh

lol nut!

12:08 pm

Babbler

kidding me??

12:08 pm

superflippy

Like, each time? Or was there a license you could get?

12:09 pm

salmocreston1

thanks Niamh. Only the British would need to ask permission of the king. LOL

12:09 pm

mom23

esp. if he's heavy like Henry VIII

12:09 pm

hurshy

this is sooooo funny

12:09 pm

Babbler

and if he was granting these requests all day, every day, how did he get time to attend to other matters? (assuming everyone asked permission)

12:09 pm

Atalante

I know back in ancient Egypt there was something similar, it was so the king could take the pick of the virgins before anyone else got to them!

12:09 pm

12:10 pm

Babbler

LOL

12:10 pm

Niamh

it had to do with pleasing His royal suckups (I can't think of the proper name right now)... they were really the ones who granted permission and they had the right to "take" any woman they wanted

12:11 pm

evanonut

hangon, rome on hbo uses that 'f' word all the time

12:11 pm

evanonut

sounds like a good position to be in if your that guy...sucked to be a woman though.

it's probably more about conquests than experience, hursh

Las Vegas Churches

This may come as a surprise to those of you not living in Las Vegas, but there are more churches than casinos. Not surprisingly, some worshippers at Sunday services will give casino chips rather than cash when the basket is passed. Since they get chips from many different casinos, the churches have devised a method to collect the offerings. The churches send all their collected chips to a nearby Franciscan Monastery for sorting and then the chips are taken to the casinos of origin and cashed in. This is done by Chip Monks.

8:50 pm

evanonut

* do - c - do's with dawg*

8:50 pm

evanonut

well harp, that's just silly of them! since they could turn that money into all kinds of good.

8:51 pm

lbdawger

that seems silly Jane, money is money. maybe they feel it is ill gotten gain?

8:51 pm

evanonut

yeah dawg, but then they take tithes from lawyers don't they?

8:51 pm

lbdawger

hypocracy at it's best!

8:52 pm

evanonut

(fyi, not all lawyers, my lawyers a great guy)

8:52 pm

lbdawger

unless of course, they don't have any lawyers in their congregation, since there's not enough prayer to save them? (just kidding of course)

8:57 pm

lbdawger

*Nutty's hoarding the vicodin*

8:57 pm

evanonut

i've renamed the vicodin, i now refer to it as vic, my boyfriend.

8:57 pm

Smdnjv

No Jane...it is not my job! The young girl came to visit Tuesday afternoon and told me some things that should not happen to a little girl!!

8:58 pm

Buttonman

ax 6 please

8:58 pm

Buttonman

ce 6/24 please

8:58 pm

lbdawger

I'm proud of you SMD. it's hard to get involved, even though that's what needs to be done.

8:59 pm

evanonut

oh! you had her removed from her mothers home! well smd, good for you for having the gonads to speak up. many people would have been to afraid to say something.

8:59 pm

lbdawger

button, male wielding sharp cutting implements

9:00 pm

lbdawger

button, ce6.25, concrete

9:00 pm

Smdnjv

Unfortunately the young girl did not expect me to tell and I had a hard time explaining to her why I HAD to tell!!

9:00 pm

salmocreston1

Hi all. one word left. I still haven't got the st6,27. clues anyone. thanks

9:00 pm

Smdnjv

Hello salmo

9:00 pm

lbdawger

salmo, Mr. Wonder, with an extra vowel in the middle

9:00 pm

evanonut

if she told you, then she wanted help whether she realized it or not smd.

9:00 pm

Buttonman

got the ce 6, thanks

9:01 pm

salmocreston1

thank you thank you. fire works

9:01 pm

farz

hi there - can anyone help with the ge8 or the ge9? thanks

9:01 pm

lbdawger

it's a moral and ethical call. One with morals and ethics would make a call to protect a child.

9:01 pm

lbdawger

whooo hooo salmo!

9:02 pm

lbdawger

farz, think high school math, earth + measurement the plural for the 9

9:02 pm

Smdnjv

I know she did...and she is much better out of that situation. Problem now is that I have to keep my granddaughter's very close and watch police cruisers pass the house on routine.

9:03 pm

evanonut

just keep those precious girls tight close smd...it will eventually settle.

9:03 pm

lbdawger

it's good to see the police, especially when you feel that you or others may be in danger from some sociopath.

9:05 pm

evanonut

walk quietly and carry a big gun, that's my motto. shoot first ask questions later...no one gets at the kiddos, no way no how no day

9:05 pm

Smdnjv

True Dawger...but I wonder what the neighbors are thinking!! This childs grandmother has called me everything under the sun for "splitting" this family up!!

9:06 pm

lbdawger

why didn't that grandmother get involved? the neighbors can think what they want, and if they ever hear the truth, they will be glad you are their neighbor

9:06 pm

Smdnjv

My Grandchildren are her grandchildren also....she is just mean enough to try to take them and hide them somewhere.

9:06 pm

evanonut

just say your sorry (even though you don't mean it and she dont' deserve it)

9:06 pm

farz

thanks LBD!

9:07 pm

evanonut

who has custody of your grandchildren smd?

9:07 pm

lbdawger

If she "steals" those children and keeps them away from you, you have grounds to have social services get invovled in her life too.

9:07 pm

Smdnjv

I cant for the life of me say I'm sorry!! I am sorry that this child had to endure what she did...but no child....NO CHILD...should have to go through that.

9:07 pm

Smdnjv

I have custody of the two girls.

9:08 pm

evanonut

has she said anything to that effect

9:09 pm

lbdawger

so if this other grandmother does anything to them, she is also in for some big time trouble with the legal system. You should probably talk to a detective or someone in childrens services to let them know of your concern and what has happened today.

9:10 pm

evanonut

if she has threatened you, even without a witness, you can probably obtain a temporary restraining order against her.

9:10 pm

Smdnjv

I took the little girl to the police...told them what she told me.....she validated it....we then went to hospital for tests.....and then I asked for her to be put in foster home out of county...where I do not even know where she is...at least until that piece of $#!+ is arrested.

9:10 pm

lbdawger

make sure everything is on the record, and keep one for yourself including all the calls with notes as to the conversations. this record could be your best defense

9:10 pm

evanonut

yes, and see if you can manage to record your phone calls

9:11 pm

evanonut

talk to a lawyer, they'll have better advice than us. in such a situation, it is definitely better to be overprepared.

9:11 pm

Smdnjv

I have dawg...my phone is monitored...Beth had escort to and from school...and restraining orders are signed and served.....unfortunately I dont think anyone in the crappy family can read!

9:12 pm

lbdawger

that's for sure! doubly since children are involved

9:12 pm

evanonut

that's just horrible smd

9:12 pm

lbdawger

how old are your granddaughters?

9:13 pm

Smdnjv

I have a lawyer....calls are recorded...and probably the mother, grandmother and one aunt will be arrested before too long.

9:13 pm

lbdawger

are the schools aware of who can and cannot have contact with them?

9:13 pm

Smdnjv

One granddaughter is 9 yrs old and her baby sister is now 17 months old.

9:14 pm

lbdawger

i'd let your neighbors know that if they see anyone getting close to your grands that isn't of your household to call the cops and get a good description.

9:14 pm

Smdnjv

Yes...School Principal is good friend...and they really have a good security system in place. Vice principal escorted Beth into class and back out to car yesterday and today.

9:15 pm

evanonut

You might want to rig up those fake security cameras too, as these ladies seem dumb as bricks, they won't know one from another.

9:16 pm

lbdawger

hopefully the principal has informed beth's teachers that if they see anyone other than you approach her to call 911 immediately

9:17 pm

Smdnjv

I have told the neighbors that I am close friends with plus the new neighbors next door....Beth is a favorite in the neighborhood and she is well watched. She is having a hard time trying to imagine her cousin far away and in a strange home.

9:17 pm

evanonut

sounds like you have your bases covered smd, with constant vigilance (in the words of mad eyed moody) all will be well.

9:18 pm

lbdawger

you're in my t's and p's SMD. i hope the little ones will be okay too.

9:18 pm

Smdnjv

Yes..Beth's teacher knows and they have extra teacher's aids out on the playground when Beth is outside.

9:18 pm

harpjane

my Microsoft Outlook calendar is acting funny. All the appointments after Sunday are one hour later. Is anyone else seeing this?

9:18 pm

grammaterri1

had to be off to care for my 2yr old granddaughter (((smd))) kill kill

9:18 pm

lbdawger

will you try to get custody of the little girl?

9:19 pm

evanonut

harp, you probably need to download a patch

9:19 pm

lbdawger

harp, sunday...daylight savings starts

9:19 pm

grammaterri1

clocks change ahead one hour Sunday harp

9:19 pm

Smdnjv

thx dawger...they will be okay I am sure...Beth is confused and frightened...If I can have sissy sent away...what is to keep me from having her sent away!?!

9:19 pm

hootowl

Daylight savings time starts saturday night! Bt rule of congress!

9:20 pm

hootowl

evening all!

9:20 pm

harpjane

(hi, I'm back)\

9:20 pm

harpjane

(hi, I'm back)\

9:20 pm

grammaterri1

hi hoot

9:20 pm

lbdawger

(((SMD))) she's going to need a lot of reassurance, explaining that her cousin will be all right.

9:20 pm

evanonut

awww smd, and just too much to explain to her at her age.

9:20 pm

lbdawger

Hi hoot, how was dinner Jane?

9:21 pm

evanonut

LTNS hooter.

9:21 pm

Smdnjv

I would not mind having custody of her, but she is better off right now in a foster home where no one knows where she is. I have been tolld she likes it there...she is the only child in the home and has her own everything.

9:21 pm

harpjane

I know that, but why would my calendar say that an appointment I have for next Tuesday at 1:30 is actually at 2:30? It has not done that in the past!

9:21 pm

hootowl

SMDNJV, be grateful you're not in Memphis. This town is the pits.

9:21 pm

harpjane

i would assume one of the automatic updates is screwed up?

9:22 pm

grammaterri1

I would assume it's right unless it goes one hour ahead after Sunday harp

9:22 pm

hootowl

If it's an XP it's supposed to make the change automatically. of course that doesn't make it right..

9:22 pm

lbdawger

Jane, I've heard some of the techs talking about how this change in daylight savings is a real pain in the behind. i think that may be one of the many reasons.

9:22 pm

harpjane

well, I'm not going to do anything about it until Sunday

9:22 pm

Smdnjv

You are right Nut...but she seems to need to know and there is only so much her mind can hold. She knows absolutely nothing at all about S E X shshsh!! At least I dont think she does.

9:22 pm

harpjane

but it made me schedule an appointment for the wrong time next week

9:23 pm

evanonut

just tell her she's perfect and therefore has no reason to worry.

9:23 pm

evanonut

;-)

9:23 pm

lbdawger

SMD, you don't have to go into details, just tell her that something bad was happening at her house and she had to be taken to somewhere safe for a while.

9:24 pm

lbdawger

That's the weird part, Jane. It shouldn't have messed with the hours in the appointment book, just the clock. i think it's a patch problem.

9:24 pm

Smdnjv

I did dawger...but she doesn't understand why her mommy cant go with her. Her mom knew this was happening and did nothing about it!!

9:24 pm

harpjane

oh well

9:25 pm

renfield

harp - the new dst has messed up all the computers internal clocks- you need to download the patch and it may only be a temp fix for now - go to microsoft's downloads - there is no permanenet fix at this time...cost 535 millon in staffing hours for this screwy idea

9:25 pm

hootowl

I'd wait til sunday and see what happens then Jane. Will probably straighten out.

9:25 pm

hootowl

I hope.

9:25 pm

Smdnjv

Can you google a patch to fix the time for the few weeks til the actual time change was supposed to happen??

9:25 pm

evanonut

RENNNNNNSTER me beauty!!! arrrrrrrrrrgh.

9:25 pm

grammaterri1

I think so hoot, jane

9:26 pm

renfield

9:27 pm

9:27 pm

9:28 pm

lbdawger

Nutty aka Vicozombie!

9:28 pm

renfield

let's all go to the time warp zone

9:29 pm

lbdawger

when i lived in Arizona, i'd just tell my family that we didn't change the clocks we just moved time zones.

9:29 pm

renfield

vicozombie's munch brains

9:29 pm

evanonut

i wanna go into the twilight zone

9:29 pm

lbdawger

Nutty, you are there all ready

9:29 pm

evanonut

my grandpa never changed his clocks, he said the chickens didn't change theirs so neither would he.

9:29 pm

grammaterri1

renfield

i wanna go to the chocolate zone

9:30 pm

lbdawger

9:30 pm

lbdawger

oooh Rennie! yeah! chocolate zone!

9:30 pm

evanonut

i like daylight savings though

9:30 pm

renfield

i'll take you there...uh huh uh huh

9:30 pm

hootowl

No one has ever explained why we do this stupid thing well. Aneight hour daylight is an 8 hour daylight no matter what time it starts! Just meddling.

9:31 pm

evanonut

if my cat fat is lounging on a heating pad, is he spoiled?

9:31 pm

renfield

nut told me ben franklin did it

9:31 pm

hootowl

yes

9:31 pm

harpjane

no evan, that's perfectly normal

9:31 pm

autumn moon

hullo everyone. How are you all tonight?

9:31 pm

lbdawger

daylight savings was originally started to help the farmers get their produce to market on time. well, for the markets to be open at the same time.

9:31 pm

harpjane

the last te5/14?

9:31 pm

evanonut

saves electricity hooter

9:32 pm

renfield

Not in my book! My cat would not go near an electric blanket or a heating pad til I made her!

9:32 pm

harpjane

thanks

9:32 pm

renfield

kevetching autumn

9:33 pm

evanonut

you forced your cat onto a heating pad? what kind of a sick cat lover are you?

9:33 pm

lbdawger

how can it save electricity? if i'm up at 6 and still up at 11, i'm still using electricity.

9:33 pm

autumn moon

should I go back into the chat and read?

9:33 pm

hootowl

WHEN does it save it and where? With 4 time zones someone is always short changed.

9:33 pm

renfield

turn off all the lights and only use your computer - what typos!!!!

9:34 pm

evanonut

don't recall the specifics dawg, but not sure the reasoning really applies now. i think they just did it for the golfers this time around.

9:34 pm

autumn moon

Well, I just got home from work...174 words...I think I can get this one done?

9:34 pm

lbdawger

nah, autumn, you can just chime in. topic right now is anything goes. daylight savings, hot cats,

9:34 pm

evanonut

he he, dawg thinks my cat is hot.

9:34 pm

renfield

and the power companies

9:34 pm

lbdawger

yes, you can finish this grid Autumn.

9:35 pm

autumn moon

My complaint about DST is that the dog doesn't want to go outside before I leave for work....Then, when I get her used to the new time, it's time to fall back

9:35 pm

hootowl

NO silly. Onto my electric blanket. She'd jump up to join me and leave as fast as she got there. So I picked her up one day and made her sit on it. When she realised it was warm I never got rid of her! Her mother used to sleep under it.

9:35 pm

lbdawger

yup Rennie, that's who makes out in all this. like the gass companies. how fast does the price go up and how long does it take to go down!

9:35 pm

evanonut

must be an old dog...not learning new tricks and all

9:36 pm

evanonut

ok, i see hooter, your not sick then.

9:36 pm

autumn moon

She's 8 but still acts like a puppy....okay...into the grid I go

9:36 pm

lbdawger

and explain why an extra week in the fall? isn't it dark then?

9:36 pm

renfield

i have a torn cuticle...who can we blame?

9:37 pm

evanonut

ren, i would blame someone not present to defend themselves, lets lay it on mrp.

9:37 pm

lbdawger

the government of course Rennie

9:37 pm

renfield

ok

9:37 pm

hootowl

gee thanks

9:38 pm

renfield

why do sunflower seeds give you bad breath?

9:38 pm

lbdawger

*whew, glad i'm here and not getting blamed for Rennie's manicure*

9:38 pm

evanonut

you always have bad breath ren, can't stand yo half the time

9:38 pm

lbdawger

9:39 pm

hootowl

9:39 pm

evanonut

9:40 pm

torgone

renfield

9:43 pm

torgone

Oh, I thought it was a joke . .

9:43 pm

lbdawger

Like the famous Dread Pirate Roberts, you have a keen head for how to make a profit. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr!

9:43 pm

evanonut

i bet the dog would still drink it ren

9:43 pm

hootowl

I think anything sitting anywhere for a week would stink.

9:43 pm

lbdawger

i would not!

9:44 pm

renfield

i think you are right hoot

9:44 pm

evanonut

i think i'll sit on the bed for a week and see if i stink
