ADHDWordLover

1:06 am

ADHDWordLover

gotit thx

1:06 am

VolleymomDee

the second fa 7/48 is a verb describing what you might do to pack on pounds on a cow

1:06 am

sprite

you think babble is trying to tell me something by repeating the obese words so often lately?

1:06 am

Jacula

fa7/40 = obese persons. fa7/48 = plumping them up.

1:06 am

VolleymomDee

LOL

1:06 am

Ornith

or me sprite!

1:06 am

Jellen

The message is for me, sprite!

1:07 am

1:07 am

Could someone clue the gl7/36?

1:07 am

Jacula

(My heels STILL hurt from walking around Amsterdam.)

1:07 am

yeah, I know jilli... it is the only thing about me that is slim and wispy though :)

1:10 am

still love you, mom ;)

1:10 am

Jacula

Mom - that saying is often misquoted, as all that gl7/36s. However, the quote proper has an 's' in it rather than two teas.

1:10 am

Jellen

Night, ADHD

1:10 am

Jellen

Hi rolin.

1:12 am

mom23

sorry jac--i can only do 1 tea or i get jittery

1:13 am

jillibus

I'm getting sleeeepy

1:13 am

Jacula

Speaking of Tolkein, last week, I bought his unfinished book that his grandson, Christopher finished off. Haven't read it yet though, so can't comment.

1:13 am

MonkeyGames

What Dutch organ transplant program? I justr came on here... godd morning. We will, it seems, air almost anything. I quite enjoyed the human dissection program a few months ago.

1:13 am

sprite

that BNN broadcasting firm is just plain crazy. They always try to shock people. They will try to air it, for sure, I hope they won't though. Totally tasteless and respectless if you ask me

1:13 am

Atalante

(son actually)

1:13 am

Atalante

*uncloaks*

I saw that too, hope to read it soon, Jac

Hi, Atalante

eeeeeek a Klingon Ata vessel! Hi there :)

Atalante

its a very good book

1:14 am

MonkeyGames

Sprite, I'll take your word for that and look it up later. Hi!

1:14 am

Hugabugs

li7 - and the 7's are done

1:14 am

Atalante

nah, romulan, after they got a cloaking device

1:14 am

rolin

monkey..this is a reality tv show where a dying woman gets to pickj which out of 3 ppl will get her kidneys

1:15 am

jillibus

well done as usual, hugs! I only have 15 7s

1:15 am

sprite

hi MonkeyG! BNN wants to air a reality series where a dying person will chose to which patient her organs will go.

1:15 am

jillibus

oh -- I saw about that on the news tonight -- gross

1:15 am

Ornith

I've only got 14

1:15 am

rolin

breakfast time...bbl..

1:15 am

MonkeyGames

Ewww, no, I don't like that at all! No, I thought maybe they were just going to show a transplant live or something. That would be interesting. But no, playing around with people's lives in this kind of way sucks.

1:15 am

VolleymomDee

ty sprite for li

1:16 am

sprite

plagiarism from the narrowminded romulans, Ata... to me you're Klingon ;)

1:16 am

Jacula

Ata - is he? Oh, I stand corrected. ANyway, the book is 'Children of Hurin'.

1:16 am

jillibus

happy breakfast, rolin -- bedtime here!

1:16 am

Atalante

always Romulan :) and yup, Christopher is Tolkien's youngest son

1:16 am

Ornith

yeah, that's screwed up even for reality TV

1:16 am

sprite

yeah, nothing interesting there, MonkeyG. Scientific things I like, this I don't.

1:16 am

MonkeyGames

The one who's dying, OK, her choice, but it would probably be pretty much a given that 2 of the other 3 would die as well and tehy have no choice about it. Yes, that is a sick idea, all right!

1:18 am

MonkeyGames

Anyone on here start wearing glasses (like, all day glasses, not reading glasses) at a later age? Got mine yesterday. Looking for reassurance that they should make me feel all weirded out, and for tips on adjusting quickly.

1:18 am

sprite

BNN says they do it to illustrate the need for and lack of organs for transplantation. My bet is they mostly do it for ratings.

1:18 am

Jacula

Ata - I just had to go back and read the book jacket - Christopher - 3rd son and appointed literary executor.

1:18 am

jillibus

ok, I have 80 words and eyes are slamming shut. Back tomorrow sporadically -- another library day.

1:18 am

MonkeyGames

Sprite, I agree. Since when has BNN cared about anything deep-ish? Sheesh.

1:19 am

Ornith

mg, I started around 12? and it was really weird at first because of my astigmatism... felt like the floor was tilted

1:19 am

Jacula

Goodness! Just thinking now if I wanted either of my two children to be my 'appointed literary executor' which I would choose.

1:19 am

sprite

sweet dreams, jilli

1:19 am

Atalante

yup, Chris and Tolkien worked closely together for most of Chris's life. Chris was a professor at Oxford, a member of the Inklings, and worked on the mythology from pretty much his birth onwards

1:19 am

Ornith

and then when I got used to them, it was tilted the other way with them off! settles down eventually though

1:19 am

MonkeyGames

Ok, so this piece of furniture that looks a bit twosted isn't haunted or anything.

1:19 am

Jellen

MonkeyGames--just wear them reading. It's hard to get used to looking over them when you change focal points.

1:20 am

NancyR.

monkeygames, I feel for you but it makes me giggle at the same time

1:20 am

sprite

if you have astigmatism, it will take some getting used to, MonkeyG :)

1:20 am

MonkeyGames

These aren't reading glasses, though. They do help with reading but are supposed to be all day glasses.

1:21 am

Ornith

nope, your brain just has to get used to NOT correcting for astigmatism all the time. and NancyR, it was funny even when it was happening to me!

1:21 am

NancyR.

it was the haunted comment that got me

1:21 am

Jellen

Oh--then you just wear them and walk carefully!

1:21 am

Jacula

Ata - I know his history and his homes are a stones' throw away from where I've lived. I'm sure he has a grandson called Chris also.

1:21 am

MonkeyGames

ription--there's a bit of an astig. but also my eyes focus at different distances and it took me years of thise getting gradually worse to start to really notice, and now when I see how far it went I'm rather astounded.

1:22 am

sprite

it is kind of funny and I am always amazed at the things your brain does for you. It will be easier on you, once your brain has adepted, MonkeyG.

1:22 am

MonkeyGames

I think it's not haunted...

1:22 am

mrpresident

hello everyone :)

1:22 am

MonkeyGames

Uh oh--the baby monitor just started saying, "Owl, owl, owl, orange fish"... I have to go make eggy toast or porridge now. I hope I can drop in later!

1:22 am

mom23

Monkey--think of it as the world is twisted and off kilter (which it is in oh so many ways!), and your glasses are straightening it all out!

1:22 am

sprite

no, it is not haunted. Don't worry. It won't bite you in passing ;)

1:22 am

Ornith

definitely a glasses thing, mg. you'll get used to the glasses in a week or two, and then another week or two to get your brain to learn to switch back and forth when you take them off

1:23 am

MonkeyGames

. P!

1:23 am

Jellen

I had eye surgery, but my eyes keep changing. Back in glasses for distance only.

1:23 am

Hi, MrP!

MonkeyGames

I meant, Hi Mr. P! and bye...

1:23 am

Jacula

New glasses (spectacles) always mean yuo are stepping over bumps in the floor that are not there and up and down steps that don't exist. Your eyes, and you brain, do adjust.... eventually. Takes 2 to 3 weeks.

1:23 am

Atalante

maybe ... but as far as I know only one of Tolkien's grandkids write / have pretensions to being a writer

1:23 am

MonkeyGames

And thanks everyone. Off I go!

Jac there are thiose who may think it an improvement.

Since my second name IS Frances, you would think I could type it accurately! LOL

2:02 am

Frances

Jac at least you know that it is E for 'er and I for 'im.

2:03 am

Jacula

Frances - if you keep on like that we might have to have a Babble icon day for 'photos if Babblers with eyes crossed, etc.' Actually, that might be quite fun.

2:04 am

Jacula

Lol, Frances. Indeed! Nice to tal;k to a word-knowledgeable Babbler again.

2:05 am

Jacula

Didn't see Kiwi's menu.

2:26 am

lynxxx

2:27 am

2:28 am

sprite

2:29 am

Frances

Jac did you see my message earlier? Do you know Ombersley?

2:29 am

2:30 am

sprite

hiding behind the ones you found perhaps, lynxxx :)

2:30 am

Andree

i have 134 hiding from me

2:31 am

Jacula

I did, however, see some juniior reporter from The Daily Mail's result of hunting for something to write about all week... he or she found some kind of University or Research Group report about what's 'best for Britain & The World'. Apparently, it has been voiced, since farm animals' methane gasses are supposed to be a major contribution to global warming, that governments around th world should very, very slowly introduce the idea of us all becoming vegans. Governments knows that idea won't be well received and have apparently agreed,but very, very slowly catchee monkey! It seems, so the report says, that land used to house farm (meat) animals and dairy animals ma be better used to grow vegetable crops for humans to eat.

2:32 am

Jacula

Yeah, right! As a former agriculture student I could begin a debate on that, but don't think I really need to!

2:32 am

lynxxx

we can all eat beans and make our own methane gas instead

2:33 am

Frances

Jac then you hear (on the news last night) complaints that too much farm land is being taken over to grow vegitatiojn for biofuels.

2:33 am

Jacula

Frances - didn't see your post but just seen the new one - Ombersley in Worcs? I've been there but don't reallly know it that well.

2:34 am

Frances

Herin - you're only 29. I was 27 when I had my 1st child and 29 when I had my second. And then I also got a 'stepchild' whn I was almost 46. They grow on you, you know!

2:52 am

Jacula

Little buggers, intent on pleasing themselves are wrecking your life... but the experience CAN be pleasureable.

2:53 am

herinfernallady

Let me reword that. I tollerate most kids but most times they annoy me. I just dont want them

2:53 am

Frances

Well my life at the moment is get up, walk the dog. Get soaked. Come home and dry off until the next walk/soaking. This happens three or four times a day. With my feet in so many puddles I should be growing up - would prefer to shrink widthways though!

2:54 am

herinfernallady

What is with the grid and OBESITY over the last 2 days ? : P

2:54 am

Hugabugs

I have se x 8; sl x 3... missing pls?

2:55 am

Herin - I wince when I look back at my wedding invitations and photos ( we didn't have videos back in the 70s)... I was so crass and naive that I banned children from th Church and the reception.

2:55 am

sprite

I have to be off, hope you all have a great day. MrP, extra hugs for you and take care of yourself, take it easy! Whatever being sick does not take out of you, hospitals will, lol - hope you can get the rest you need to feel a little less drained.

2:56 am

Jacula

I'd been so peed off at not being able to hear the vows in Church throug screaming or cooing kids before, that I did not want them there. My wish wasn't quite granted. A friend from work who had a 3-month old baby girl decided she would come, baby and all (husband outside to retrieve child if it became noisy).

2:57 am

Jacula

Made me think!

2:57 am

lynxxx

You are always a hero Sprite.

2:57 am

I'VE ONE Q WORD AND YES ITS AN A

3:19 am

herinfernallady

I know that third letters dont get given out but its hard when Qu share a square

3:19 am

Frances

But the other one isn't.

3:19 am

herinfernallady

thanks

3:19 am

herinfernallady

Ill keep looking

3:20 am

Frances

infernal think regal - misspelt

3:20 am

herinfernallady

Ta i just got it

3:21 am

Haz1558

So, can I raise a point for debate? How do we deal with the youngsters who are playing the game but taking up an incredible amount of log space and time with multiple requests for clues? My patience is wearing thin.....

3:21 am

Atalante

mine too. though you did miss the funniest log entry *ever* yesterday, haz, from one of them

3:22 am

Frances

Spill the beans Ata.

3:22 am

Haz1558

Oh, sweet from the Untied States, you mean?

3:22 am

herinfernallady

I know yesturday i was a pest sorry

3:22 am

Atalante

oh! you did see it :)

3:22 am

Haz1558

herin - not you - I'm talking about younger children.

3:22 am

Atalante

FM and I were just *dying*

3:22 am

Chris P

i agree haz. Puts me off joining in most of the time. don't know what we can do though.

3:23 am

CarolineO

ya i think its ok to ask when you're genuinely stuck but some that i see are asking almost every word and i'm only round here a few days

3:23 am

Haz1558

I'm delighted that youngsters are trying the game, but it's like trying to get them to play Chopin when they've only just learnt a scale or two.

3:23 am

Atalante

yes ... clueing a 10 word none of us have heard of for a 9 year old is pretty impossible. and annoying for us, and probably frustrating for them

3:24 am

mrpresident

any clue for the se5/14 please ?

3:24 am

Haz1558

So what do we do? I will clue to a certain extent, but goldies for one needed several clues for 'attach' yesterday - I was getting mad and dear knows what the rest of the log was thinking.

3:24 am

CarolineO

hi mr pres

3:24 am

loredana

Like your comment Haz .. my pennys worth is when players sign in and within 5-10 mins asking for clues why cant they look like we do? any comments

3:25 am

Haz1558

Good morning mrpresident.

3:25 am

mrpresident

hi carol! :)

3:25 am

NancyR.

hello those who arrived while I was in another window. my sister gave me a logic problem site.. eep!

3:25 am

Atalante

to be blunt, goldies is irritating the f*** out of me

3:25 am

herinfernallady

I woud like to apoligies for my truck load of dumb questions i just had a dense day

3:25 am

herinfernallady

Not there yet Mr Pres

3:25 am

Chris P

tell us what you really think ata!!

3:25 am

mrpresident

morning/evening haz! :)

3:26 am

Chris P

and i agree, by the way

3:26 am

Atalante

*giggles* I was more tactful the first day or two he was on :P

3:26 am

Haz1558

herin - I'm not getting at you, I really would like to know how we can all tackle the problem of goldies and others in a polite but firm way. All sing from the same hymn sheet so to speak (I'm great with the music analogies this morning)

3:26 am

mrpresident

best to ignore and let be... they go away eventually

3:26 am

loredana

herin i dont think anyone is making reference to you babe

3:27 am

Haz1558

But mrpresident - he's a pro, has his own account! We've tried hinting but no deal.

3:27 am

Shoelacelady

cowers behind laptop. I've only asked for a couple rofl

3:27 am

Atalante

its kind of different with goldies, he's subscribed, so no way will DrG block him in any way. so we have to put up with him, do you think he'll just get bored?

3:27 am

CarolineO

maybe they'll read the chat archive and get the message...lol

3:27 am

grannymaxx

i agree with you haz and he is/was a PITA yesterday...even after telling him to keep looking...has anyone told him about lickety clues?

3:28 am

herinfernallady

Thats true I know that you didnt mean me but i just had to apoligise as i was so damn dense. I think Goldie just wants to learn. Maybe we could tell him to go to dictionary.com and use the word suasrus

Haz1558

I don't know, Atalante, he seems such a determined child. He knows about lickety's list, that's part of the problem, he follows it slavishly instead of looking in the grid for normal words that he might know.

3:29 am

herinfernallady

like um look up SIGN in the thesaurus (wordsaruas) and then see what other words mean that one?

3:29 am

Atalante

urf yes. I get very bored very quickly when he asks for clues for word after word in the list :P

3:29 am

Haz1558

He has also been told about online dictionaries etc but refuses to use them. So, should we suggest an ordinary dictionary and thesaurus?

3:29 am

Chris P

i suppose the only thing we can do is not answer his requests and see if he gets the hint. or has that already been tried??

3:29 am

mrpresident

some of the grids don't have normal words! lickety's list assists with those, but the kids ask and ask for clues to fish bangers... they are only young and don't really know how to spell at 10

3:29 am

Haz1558

He just keeps asking and in CAPITALS.

3:30 am

herinfernallady

Yes that might be good,

3:30 am

Atalante

thats BEEN TRIED CHRIS YOUR MEAN FOR NOT ANSWERING

3:30 am

grannymaxx

maybe tell him its a "grownup" word?

3:30 am

Chris P

oh ok!

3:30 am

corko101

yo peeps

3:30 am

Haz1558

He needed several clues for ewer and ewes. Getting dacha involved headache tablets all round.

3:31 am

CarolineO

lol

3:31 am

mrpresident

also, some kids are reallly smart... I mean IQ high smart... so they would get very offended and offensive depending on their personality too... what to do?

3:31 am

Atalante

argh I can imagine

3:31 am

CarolineO

you and your russian haz!

3:31 am

herinfernallady

I dont know what else to do

3:31 am

herinfernallady

ALl i know is last night i was a pain in my arse : p

3:32 am

mrpresident

WE COULD YELL THE ANSWER!!

3:32 am

Atalante

LOL! :)

3:32 am

Haz1558

Caroline - that's the frustrating thing. Lots of people can get the word by a simple definition. goldies practically needs every word spelled out for him and (a) that's not the point of the game and (b) it's a pain in the backside for everyone else.

3:32 am

mrpresident

haz, that is because he is 10. they can't spell

3:33 am

CarolineO

I know, he's very persistent

3:33 am

Haz1558

My apologies for interrupting all your nice word finding but I just needed to get it off my chest and find out what everyone else was thinking.

3:33 am

Atalante

exactly the same as you

3:34 am

grannymaxx

twice clued is enuf haz...stick to that!

3:34 am

Haz1558

mrpresident - so why does a 10 year old who can't spell feel that it is his solemn duty in life to do a puzzle that taxes grown ups who can?!

3:34 am

herinfernallady

I am developing the ignorance factor myself. All i know is i could have slapped myself for forgetting things

3:34 am

mrpresident

what is it with 10 year olds! they know everything allegedly

3:34 am

Atalante

I did when I was 10 :P

3:34 am

Yvo

Good Morning All Haz I think you have bee so kind to goldie ,however i think its the guessing of the clue that intrigues him ,looking up is to much for him ,mayby just telling him to look for 4 letter words till he gets more experiance

3:35 am

Haz1558

Every mortal thing.

3:35 am

herinfernallady

Ha ha. I did too

3:35 am

mrpresident

LOL! too right , me too

3:35 am

grannymaxx

me too ata but now at 64 i dont know nothing (:

3:35 am

Haz1558

Good morning Yvo - nice to see you!

3:35 am

loredana

hi yvo

3:36 am

Haz1558

But notice how they turn being 10 to their advantage ' Don't be mean, I'm only 10'

3:36 am

Atalante

hi yvo

3:36 am

grannymaxx

morning yvo(:

3:36 am

Atalante

10 year olds are tricksy

3:36 am

herinfernallady

Usuall response then dont be a pain : p

3:37 am

grannymaxx

maybe we/you could just tell him you dont have the word yet? lol

3:37 am

NancyR.

is that the same person as "sweet" who said they were 9?

3:37 am

sherb

morning all... was going out shopping, but this is much too interesting... :)

3:37 am

CarolineO

well i'm 44 ,,,,can anyone help me..lol

3:37 am

Haz1558

No, sweet, aged 9 from the UNTIED STATES is a different babbler. Equally needy.

3:38 am

grannymaxx

hello nancy and sherb (:

3:38 am

Haz1558

Good morning sherb!

3:38 am

grannymaxx

are we untied haz...LOL

3:38 am

Shoelacelady

morning sherb, yvo and nancy

3:38 am

NancyR.

hi there :) I've been here on and off since the flip

3:38 am

herinfernallady

Hi sherb

3:39 am

Yvo

Dr_good chould have a babble grid for children

3:39 am

Haz1558

It was such a great typo, she didn't realise that she had caused Ata and FMitch to explode with laughter.

3:39 am

NancyR.

I want to go pro but no credit card. will have to go hunting for a new "best friend" hehe

3:40 am

Haz1558

I really don't mind children playing, I just wish they would accept their limitations and play to them. Like me with a needle and thread.....

3:41 am

Haz1558

Anyway, if I seem unusually cruel and harsh to goldies and others, you'll know the reason why...

3:41 am

Frances

I'm with you Haz. My eyes glaze over when someone like that is on. Then it is time for another cup of tea, coffee or g&t, depending on the time of day.

3:41 am

herinfernallady

Oh my fav was that teacher that let her kids playbable and let them run riot on here, instead of printing it out doing it with the class

3:42 am

corko101

we done that be4

3:42 am

Haz1558

Yes, that was a laugh a minute.

3:42 am

herinfernallady

We have run out of wall space with the book shelves

3:42 am

herinfernallady

Laugh thats n intersting word to use

3:42 am

Haz1558

We did that before, corko.

3:42 am

Atalante

we were dying over our keyboard. poor kid. LOL

3:43 am

Yvo

Or i remember someone said a word on here forgot what it was and Goldie Promptly told us not to talk like that "that hes a child"Most of us that were here ,weretaken back by it .

3:44 am

ruthy

can anyone clue the re 7/36

3:44 am

Atalante

and when ass turned into a Big Swear Word

3:44 am

ruthy

fireworks

3:44 am

Haz1558

Yes, 'I'm a child' seems to mean he can tell the rest of us what he wants, when he wants and how he wants the rest of us to behave. Adults unite!

3:45 am

Haz1558

Congratulations!

3:45 am

Chris P

perhaps we could try not chatting at all when they come on line. not fair on everyone else, i know, but maybe they'll get the hint with no responses at all - sorry missed quite alot as had to go and do some work

3:45 am

corko101

i meant went on babble during school

3:45 am

grannymaxx

WOWs to ruthy (o:

3:46 am

Yvo

See how goldie sidetracked me havent typed one word in,

3:46 am

Yvo

Con grat Ruthy

3:46 am

Haz1558

It's a conspiracy, Yvo, to keep you from the game - my apologies!

3:47 am

grannymaxx

yvo she's prob finished anyway (:

3:47 am

sherb

Haz - I can't think of any solution for the problem other than if we just keep telling goldies how we feel...

3:47 am

Haz1558

No, nowhere near!

3:47 am

Yvo

If you ignore Goldie ,he will persist until one answers , i must say he is polite

3:48 am

corko101

ur so mean about goldies

3:48 am

Haz1558

I think so, sherb, and keep reiterating the use of a dictionary. I mean - he needed clues for ea5/10 (it's in the grid today and I'll bet he'll neede clued again).

3:48 am

grannymaxx

not mean corko just frustrated

3:49 am

Haz1558

No, we're grown-ups with opinions who have tried to help goldies. He is being unreasonable in his demands.

3:49 am

sherb

I think he does it because he craves the adult attention...

3:49 am

Atalante

I'm sure he does, but he can get it be being grown-up not annoying

3:50 am

sherb

I thnk we can teach him... *smiles optimistically*

3:51 am

Atalante

perhaps we should tell him how many teachers are on here. all 10 yer olds hate teachers LOL

3:51 am

Yvo

Corko This dosnt warrant an answer,no one was mean ,

3:53 am

mrpresident

who is corko? I have never heard of this person before?

3:53 am

Haz1558

And peace descended upon babbleland again as babblers turned, thankfully, back to the grid....

3:53 am

sherb

ok, now I am going to pop to the shops... back this afternoon to play, and put our goldies experiment into practice... later all :)

4:15 am

going, going.........

8:34 am

EvaNadine

bunny -- thankfully, 2 of my classes are "older" kids, so theyre ok to manage. but i do have 2 classes FULL of chattbugs -- i find myself losing my patience with them WAY too often or having to bite my tongue...
thats the main reason im done teaching after this season is over...its just not fun anymore...

8:35 am

CarolineO

tnx rmccc too

8:35 am

bunnyvicious

Ahh, can you maybe teach the older classes only?

8:36 am

grannyrose

yw caroline. gone........good night everyone. see you at the flip. *poof*

8:37 am

EvaNadine

unfortunately, our studio is small + kinda short-staffed, so we only get so much say in which classes we end up teaching...
besides, there are other reasons i asked to leave -- i wanna spend more time at the gym + have more free time, plus the BF + i are talking about getting a place together, which would move me out of the area anyway.
it was fun for a few years, but its time to move on...

8:37 am

bunnyvicious

Nite rmcc.

8:38 am

bunnyvicious

I see. You've got a lot going on :)

8:39 am

EvaNadine

yeah, on the days i teach, im leaving my house at 6:30am for work + heading straight to the studio from there + not getting home til about 9pm or so -- by the time i eat dinner, take a shower, tidy up + do whatever else i need to do, its late! and thats 2 nights a week!
(and yet, somehow, my trainer thinks i should be able to ind time to cram a home workout in there somewhere!)

8:41 am

bunnyvicious

You've definately got more get up and go than I do! That's kinda how it is every day here though. Get all the kiddos ready for school, come home and clean, cook, take food to grandparents, pay bills or get groceries, get kids, dinner and baths. Lather, rinse, repeat. I wish I could get to a gym, trampoline and jogging are all I can fit in for the time.

8:42 am

EvaNadine

oh, i can only imagine -- having kids is crazy all the time!
heh

i think thats another reason why i want time away from the studio -- right now, i want away from the kids, but i do wanna have kids someday!
so i need to get to the point where theyre not annoying me quite so much...hah

8:44 am

bunnyvicious

I'll loan you mine any time you want. The hubby is gushing about going to South Padre for a vacation again. Great for him, just like being at for me, lol. I wanna go without the kids this year, got some disapproving looks for saying that!

8:44 am

kc8501

dunno, I was always annoyed by kids, had some of my own and found, you know, I would likely have been happier without them

8:44 am

kc8501

Then again, I have very challenging kids so...

8:45 am

kc8501

bunny, a vacation w/o kids is an excellent thing

8:45 am

bunnyvicious

I couldn't imagine not having children, if I could, I'd probably have a few more. They just make life more interesting, plus, I'll have a herd of cleaners and mowers in about five years!

8:46 am

EvaNadine

i love kids, but i do think its different when theyre your own (yknow, like when they act up, you can actually discipline them for it!)

but i definitely think parents need time to themselves -- both alone and as a couple! youre still human, not just parenting machines!

8:46 am

kc8501

LOL you hope. I spend more time NAGGING them to do their chores than it'd take to just do them myself.

8:47 am

CarolineO

anyone clue me on the at5/10??? can't see it for trying

8:47 am

bunnyvicious

kc, you have a coupla teens? Mine are all going to be teenagers at one time, don't know if I'm thrilled or scared.

8:48 am

kc8501

9, 11 and 13. And actually the 13 yr old I prefer how he is... first 10 years of his life was hell, he's now become human. It's very odd

8:48 am

CarolineO

ur brill, thanks, moment u typed it i saw it clearly,typical!

8:49 am

Jellen

Hello, all. Here to try for a few words before I have to run.

8:49 am

bunnyvicious

My oldest is an 11 year old girl, I liked her better as a baby. She's getting all frilly on me, wants certain brands of clothes, thinks everything is "icky" and is slower than a snail. We argue a lot, I just have the advantage of saying, "It's over, I win".

8:50 am

kc8501

heh. that's my youngest. How I raised a girly girl is beyond me. Thought the boys have their things too ($70 skate shoes) and the slow I think is just a kid thing.

8:51 am

EvaNadine

whoa, really, it took me this long to find the PO4/5?
maybe its all the talk of kids that made me see it...hah

8:51 am

bartamy

My 13 yr old daughter and I used to be best buds, we still get along most of the time, but by teaching her it's okay to say what you feel, I have opened the door for mouthiness, lol. But, at least I know she will not do anything for anybody that she doesn't want to do, it's a kind of two edged thing, good for her and my fears of what's out there, but bad for me and getting her to do what she needs here, lol. Love her anyway.

8:51 am

Jellen

Being slow was my only form of rebellion.

8:52 am

kc8501

heh. yeah any which way, you love them, even if they drive you mad. I just look forward to the days of peace and quiet and a cleaning that lasts for more than 5 minutes

8:53 am

bunnyvicious

When I say slow, I mean like - stuck in the bathroom without TP and she stops to read a magazine on her way to get me some.

8:53 am

bichon

anyone have the ap 6/7?

8:53 am

EvaNadine

AP + opposite of dark

8:54 am

9:03 am

72 Temple Owl

9:03 am

Jellen

Focus training is exactly what I'm talking about.

9:03 am

periwinkle

really doing well here TO

9:03 am

bunnyvicious

I have a parent/ teacher conference after school lets out. Wanted to see what her teachers think, if she is easily distracted, or if there is actually someone distracting here. I think she just needs to get her priorities in line.

EvaNadine

i sometimes think im developing adult onset ADD -- i was a great student, but i never learned how to study...i guess i was just a "smart" kid -- but now i have a seriously hard time reading anything that doesnt "appeal" to me and im SO easily distracted!

9:05 am

Jellen

good luck. Not trying to be a drug pusher or anything. Just wonder what it would have been like if I had known how my brain worked differently than other kids.

9:05 am

Do you know Dorens from Babble or from the so-called "other" world?

9:29 am

hi ata! i think so, but i just bureid myself in the grid

9:51 am

I don't know, Atalante, I'm just back after a planting frenzy in the garden.

goldies was in earlier, but so far, chatlog is troll-free!

ah well, we shall see. I have an hour before I go and pick up the Hobbit :)

Haz1558

I hope she's not too wobbly after the sedation. She'll probably be quite sleepy.

9:53 am

Atalante

I'm going to take her bed down in the car so she can just flop on it and I can just carry her back inside if she just wants to sleep

9:54 am

hannah lou

can i please have a clue for the ni4/5

9:54 am

Haz1558

Spangle's back to normal after her little surgery, the stitches came out at the weekend. She never paid any attention to them, so no lampshades needed.

9:55 am

and my husband - get this - went out and bought some STEAK for Hobbit for her dinner tonight!

9:56 am

Hello stidmama!

9:57 am

stidmama

wow -- Hobbit IS special! :-)

9:57 am

Haz1558

Good grief, I hope she realises what she's eating!

9:57 am

Atalante

I just hope he bought some for us too!

9:58 am

Atalante

doubt it, it'll be swallowed in 2 secs!

9:58 am

Atalante

it makes him feel better though for not noticing her limp lol

9:58 am

Haz1558

Do they taste their food at all, do you think?

9:59 am

stidmama

I never did hear what happened, atalante -- dislocated, or broken?

9:59 am

Atalante

I don't think so!

9:59 am

Atalante

don't know exactly yet, I have to talk to the vet in a few minutes, but they think its early stage hip dysplasia

10:00 am

stidmama

oh, not a happy thought (I have congenital hip dysplasia -- it hurts)

10:00 am

Atalante

ow :(

10:00 am

EvaNadine

ata -- sorry to hear that...our old dg had hip displasia + suffered with it for years before my parents finally had her put down...

10:01 am

stidmama

I keep hoping no one's going to put me down! LOL (actually, Tom knows how to put it back to rights now)

10:01 am

EvaNadine

ahh, but stid, at least you can say what hurts, where, when + how much!

10:02 am

Atalante

but hopefully we've caught it really really early, you can hardly tell she's limping except first thing in the morning, so glucosamine should fix her up for a good while

10:02 am

stidmama

yes, and someday when it's too painful to walk, I have the option of replacement. Though they do it now for dogs, it's really expensive.

10:03 am

stidmama

ha. got a hundred... close to halfway...

10:04 am

EvaNadine

our poor pooch had it for years...for a while they were able to manage it with meds, but she also had degenerative joint disease...after a while, i got on my parents because they were just letting her suffer only because they would be too sad to have her put down.
i loved that dog, but she was in misery!

10:04 am

Atalante

I was amazed when I read vets can do hip replacements for dogs ... I don't think I could put one of mine through that pain of op adn recovery

10:04 am

stidmama

yes, we finally said good-bye the my childhood companion when she couldn't get up or down without a whimper. She was a good dog, and didn't deserve to suffer.

10:06 am

stidmama

I think it would have to be a very young, healthy dog to make the operation "worth" it for the animal. The stress of everything would be just too much to justify it on an older, sick dog (thinking of my dear little Buffy, who is sleeping next to me at the moment)

10:06 am

Good morning Stid!

awww poor babe :(

10:06 am

please can i have a clue for the last ra6/18

10:07 am

Haz1558

ra6/18 - begin with a rodent, end with the first letters of what is made from flax

10:07 am

stidmama

hello perfesser! Gonna be a scorcher today, got yer sunscreen on?

10:07 am

hannah lou

sorry haz i dont understand you

10:07 am

riemann

Got the umbrella handy -- typical Seattle day here.

10:08 am

stidmama

hannah, first three letters of rodent bigger than a mouse, + first three letters of fine fabric used for tablecloths and shirts

10:08 am

Haz1558

The first three letters are a rodent, the last three letters could also be said to be the start of a word which when straight, is the shortest distance between two points.

10:08 am

Cherrypop

I lived in Seattle years ago and one month it rained every day!

10:08 am

stidmama

good for you. Send some of it thisaway, will ya? I spent an hour watering yesterday, will need to repeat the performance elsewhere in the yard today.

10:09 am

stidmama

not unusual, Cherrypop! We get LOTS of rain on this side of the mountains!

10:09 am

hetty

Haz and Stid, I admire your masterly (mistressly?) clueing--LOL

10:09 am

carlee -- google works wonders for those kindsa clues ;)

2:04 pm

Atalante

her left back leg was inflamed, so we think she ripped a muscle or something over the top of the underlying hip issue. so that's why she was limping badly. hopefully that should settle and she'll be back to normal - we just have to take care of her a bit more - shorter walks in the rain and cold, glucosamine etc etc

Hell, it's a good thing you don't live with me and my 'Hunter cat'.

How about they are best friends? and, they are playing hide and seek.

6:43 pm

helenkeller

yes jacs, it is, we have 6 dogs right now & none of them ever bring anything gross home

6:43 pm

I thought he'd brought a dead dodo home the other night. It turned out to be a baby pigeon.:( I wish he wouldn't do it!

6:43 pm

anyone?

6:44 pm

teague - that's like that story about the scorpion & whatever (insert your favorite animal here) - the animal needs to get across the river & the scorpion offer him a life, but the animal is afraid the scorpion will sting him

6:44 pm

TEAGUE

my gerbil and my dog are friends. the dog looks out for the gerbil, and the dog doesn't try to touch him or hurt him

6:44 pm

Jellen

My hunter cat brings me papers, towels, dirty clothes--even a pincushion until I put it away.

6:44 pm

Jacula

BTW, the cat in my icon is my late and much beloved female 'Homely Cat', Kira. Not the mad huntsman.

6:44 pm

TEAGUE

poor pigeon.

6:45 pm

Dorens

jac, were her eyes really that green?

6:45 pm

helenkeller

to which the scorpion replies, but i wouldn't do that because then we would both drown - & of course 1/2 way across the river the scorpion stings the animal & as they are drowning the animals asks 'why?'

6:45 pm

TEAGUE

that is true helen.

6:45 pm

helenkeller

and the scorpion replies, 'it's just my nature'

6:45 pm

Dorens

love that story helen, and often tell it to my students.... "it is my nature"?

6:45 pm

Jacula

bhg - if you want to play complicated versions of this game, go ahead by all means but there's no way to do it 'offically' on this site.

6:45 pm

Jacula

Dorens - her eyes were actually a lovely amber colour. I've no idea why they showed up so blue (looks blue to me) in the photo.

6:46 pm

Have you read much of Lynn Truss?

7:19 pm

Jacula

ROFLOL

7:19 pm

pam

or Lynne? Forget the spelling

7:20 pm

Jacula

pam - Only Eats, Shoots & Leaves so far. I do have her follow-up to that (can't remember title right now) but haven't read it yet. Why?

7:21 pm

pam

I am reading a collection, which has 3 novellas and a collection of her columns. I am only just in the middle of the first novella, and it is a wonder. And, for some reason, I thought of you--that you might enjoy

7:21 pm

Jacula

2nd re4/5 = a short word for 'possessing again'. Or... try re + 'Gazunder'. (A form of toilet used in my childhood.)

7:21 pm

Jacula

Thanks, pam. I'm sure I would.

7:22 pm

No problem! For those sleepless nights, LOLOLOL

7:23 pm

featherbee

bankers, bonkers....

7:23 pm

featherbee

ohh, that one!

7:23 pm

Jellen

What could you have thought?

7:24 pm

Jacula

pam - not a sleepless night tonight (hopefully Other Half won't be doing his nighttime version of the 1821 Overture with sounds and actions). I have to be out and about tomorrow.

7:25 pm

pam

Well, then, I wish you a good night's sleep!

7:25 pm

Jacula

1812 Overture, I meant to type.

pam

funny, i did not notice the typo (phantom) until your correction...

7:26 pm

featherbee

yay, got the o8

7:26 pm

Jacula

pam - that's because our brain's automatically correct things.

7:27 pm

featherbee

ok, to the list.

7:27 pm

pam

7:27 pm

Jacula

There's a piece of writing on the internet somewhere that is totally without vowels. It's still readable, though.

7:27 pm

Ask away featherbee!I need help too,but hesitant to ask for clues since some people were a little annoyed by all the clue asking earlier by another babble player

7:28 pm

Jellen

My brain disregarded the errant '.

7:28 pm

featherbee

that player gets old fast only because he needs clues several times over for the same word

7:29 pm

Jacula

Minver - goldies is a different case entirely to yourself.

7:29 pm

Jellen

I was feeling similar.

7:29 pm

featherbee

and because he's so young, he doesn't have the same frame of reference, so doesn't get a bunch of clues

7:29 pm

Jacula

ae6 & verb form 7 - to put air into.

7:48 pm

Jacula

Scrabbler - also the urine scald can lead to hair and skin loss and is very distressing to both owner and pet.

7:48 pm

Scrabbler

She is spayed, and we were at the vet for confirmation of a UTI in Jan, but this has begun again. I don't know if this is geriatric behavior?

7:56 pm

Scrabbler

Jacula, she is eating well and running around. I did not want to believe she is geriatric, but I must accept that. She isn't grooming her bottom and is peeing around her litter box on newspaper.

7:56 pm

7:58 pm

Jacula

Scrabbler - the trouble with rabbits is that their time line/life line is so different from our own. A week to us is much longer to them. On Monday you might suddenly think, 'Thumper's looking a bit old in the face' and by the following Monday he looks like a really old man and is acting like one. Sad, but true.

7:58 pm

lbdawger

ahh, was wondering about that feather.
