Not ignoring you on purpose, Atalante...I just got a iPhone and spent hours loading all of my calender and contacts into Yahoo to sync it with the phone, and it won't work...I'm much too technologically challenged to handle such a roadblock tonight. TIred too.
4:38 am
Atalante
ooooooh gosh! that sounds horribly complicated!
4:39 am
smithchick
It is when you're me, that's for sure. Hubby is gone for two weeks and won't be able to help me. He's usually my tech support.

Chic, unfortunately there are a lot of 'babble snobs' who think that they are better than all others. That's why I never chat or ask/give clues. This is my first post on over 6 months. Keep on going though...it's a free site :-)

i've only recently started using the chat bit of Babble both for chat and for clues - it does make a big difference to the 'experience' I'd lurked for a few years before i reaslied people clue words in the chat window and since i've started chatting i've not only got better at Babble, but had some very nice/hilarious/interesting conversations!
1:29 pm

The picture in the paper not only featured the glass carriage, but the squads and I mean squads of bridesmaids and ushers and page boys, all dressed to the nineties and looking utterly miserable. Goodness knows that it all cost, but they LOVE their ceremonies.

Jacula
2009 will be the first trip to Paris, believe it or not, for us both. I once set me and my now 'ex' up to go there on a works' trip back in the 70s but he pulled out last minute and, as women still did then, I didn't go either. GRRR!
7:46 pm
Scrabbler
Aloha, Kerry

7:52 pm
toadandtoadette
can't be here too long. at the airport right now. husband is going to want the computer for a while
7:52 pm
Jacula
Dorens - I've studied French since I was 4 (but I'm still not great at it!) and I had a number of good teachers who were French and so made it interesting until I hit 5th form a grammar school - then I encountered an English harridan married to a Frenchman. Lord knows what he saw in here... unless high drama turned him on. Her screaming drove me out of the classroom (in my mind at least) and I stopped learning French at 15.
7:53 pm
Jacula
Awful woman!
7:53 pm
Dorens
hah jac. je comprends. I stopped studying french at 15 also, because i was then at the high school and they offered russian, which i thought was far more interesting.
7:53 pm
toadandtoadette
hi jacula
7:54 pm
Dorens
good luck toad.. not an easy one to do quickly
7:54 pm
toadandtoadette
not worried about it. I haven't done a grid in about 2 weeks now. :( I've missed it.
7:55 pm
Jacula
Dorens - there were 2 girls in lower 6th form studying Russian at my school and about 4 or 5 studying Spanish. Any language other than the classical ones were NOT encouraged by our then headmistress.
7:55 pm
Scrabbler
Time to go read HP7 for a bit---see everyone tomorrow!
7:55 pm
Dorens

Dorens

7:57 pm
Jacula
Scrabbs - it's really absorbing towards the end. ENJOY! Hope your Mum doesn't ring you in the midst of the final battle!
7:57 pm
onyx

7:57 pm
featherbee
i've decided that i'm happy with barely over half the words and am not going to torture myself with this grid tonight!
7:58 pm
Dorens

7:58 pm
Dorens
hey feather, the migraine gone?
7:58 pm
Jellen
Prepare the fish, for I need a clue for the second si4/4.
7:58 pm
Jacula
Mine did! Mind you, having lost my Dad, I do know that one day I will also give anything for the phone to ring and it to be my Mum 'whittering on' on the end of the line.
7:58 pm
Jellen
hi again, feather
7:58 pm
Dorens
the fish is a bottom feeder (that is a clue, albeit a bad one)

8:07 pm
Jellen

8:07 pm
oldhousejunky
need a clue for su 6/24??
8:07 pm
toadandtoadette
okay gonna go. good luck everyone!
8:07 pm
Jacula
Babies are
carried differently based on their presentation (breech, vertex, or head
first), their position (anterior, posterior), their gestational age and
weight, maternal weight and stature and the mother's parity (whether or not
this is her first or eighth baby), not the gender.
The other factor is engagement of the baby's head into the pelvis later in
pregnancy, in preparation of delivery. With this "dropping," many a
prospective mother will claim to have decreased in size overnight, now
breathing a lot more easily. If the gender were determinable by how high or
low one carried, the gender would then be seen to switch at late term.
8:07 pm
featherbee
that's a bit odd! but appropriate for a babbler
8:07 pm
Jellen
su + edge + personal pronoun
8:08 pm
featherbee
very interesting thanks jac!
8:08 pm
Jellen
bye, toad. Have a safe trip!
8:08 pm
oldhousejunky
thanks Jellen - all around that one
8:09 pm
Jacula
There you go then, Feather. I hope they're right about the sex of your baby if you're all set for what it is supposed to be, but also hope you're adaptable if it isn't. I'm sure you are!
8:09 pm
featherbee
i've also read in many different places that babies tend not to "drop" for second or later pregnancies until immediately before or even during labor
8:09 pm
Jellen
Can anyone help me with the last 6 si's (except for gentlemen)?
8:09 pm
featherbee
oh, there was no doubt! my hormones have made his "boys" quite obvious, lol
8:10 pm
Jacula
feather - I've come to the concusion that both babies and women's bodies get to know 'what to do' after the first time.
8:11 pm
Jacula
2nd's much easier than the 1st, feather! £rd's supposed to be a b*gger! But it all falls into (or rather out of!) place after that, so I'm told.
8:11 pm
featherbee

featherbee

8:12 pm
Jacula

8:12 pm
hurshy

8:12 pm
hurshy

Jacula

Well now, let's think... once you've read HP7, what risks would you take if you had children to thnik of? Think about that before you let The Sorting Hat sort you. One of the professors did say, 'Sometimesd, I think we sort them too young.' A reference to the 11+ exam, I think.

Nut - can you please remember my oldest family member Doris (Almost 92) in your next B/cast? She was a game old bird and deserves a mention
9:51 pm
Jellen
I was going to forage for food. Really going now. See y'all later.
9:52 pm
evanonut

9:52 pm
evanonut

Oh dear! Re the pee smell thing, my Mum and I already moved seat on the bus on Thursday due to pee smell from the guy in front. We waal got off the bus and he was then joined by 'woman from the back'. She smeled of pee, too! Oh dear, is this our fate? To be old and smell of pee?
9:54 pm
evanonut
it was my master plan jac, dunno about yours
9:55 pm
Jacula
Nut - ROFLOL. Wish I could spell and type right now.
9:55 pm
weirdonstone
EWWW! Les join Nut out on the deck Jac!! I don't want to smell of pee. And would my friends tell me if I did.
9:56 pm
Jacula
weird - you can bet they would not!
9:56 pm
evanonut
i'd tell ya
9:57 pm
weirdonstone
Thank you Nut, that is a true friend! There is a lady who sits by me at mass sometimes and she smells of male cat. And no, I do not tell her, I just get a headache
9:58 pm
Jacula
Nutty - you would if your sense of smell had not been stunted by smellig the same smell around yoursel;f at that time.
9:58 pm
evanonut
i sometimes worry about that with a dog and two cats
9:59 pm
Jacula
Nut - Wory not! You already smell of pee!
9:59 pm
evanonut
but i'd rather smell of poo
9:59 pm
Jacula
And musk etc, etc, LOL
10:00 pm
weirdonstone
I have a dog and three cats, I think what smells is when you have cats that spray. I told my friend if I ever smell like that you better tell me or I will kill you!
10:00 pm
autumn moon
have to add something here. Would rather sit with someone smelling of pee than gallons of perfume or aftershave
10:01 pm
Jacula
Poo? That highly meaty potent smell that takes 20 mins to leave through a window. Forget air fresheners.. they causee cancer and don't work. LOL
10:01 pm
evanonut
ugh autumn, makes me think of the mail guy at work, could knock you over at twenty paces
10:01 pm
weirdonstone

10:01 pm
autumn moon
there is one lady at work that everyone knows if she is in the building or not. You can smell her for hours in the lobby
10:01 pm
evanonut
cause we all have operational sniffers
10:02 pm
Jacula
Autumn - the pefume thing is a faster one to react to in terms of vacating a space., that's true
10:02 pm
autumn moon
Well, smackdown is on. Didn't get my 184 words because I've been busy chatting with my brother. Have a good nite all and see you tomorrow. Ni-night

10:04 pm
Jacula
Worst women my other half ever encountered was not a bitch orma harridaj but aa woman who wore too mch perfume. That one thing alone could be guaranteed to drive all the men (and most of the women) from the office she was enclved in.
