12:27 am

chic

care to skype, mrp?

12:27 am

montreal13

i'm new at this... so i'm not familiar with the "rules of clueing" if such things exist... it's just what i read in the chat most night immediately after the flip...

12:27 am

Erda

Kisses and cuddles reciprocated!!! LOL

12:28 am

mrpresident

the messages all seem to come at once... is really annoying... (scrolling back now)

12:28 am

saintfranny

montreal - no worries. you learn as you go. i've been here, gaw, 2 years? and i'm still learning

12:28 am

12:30 am

tragicstud

mr - i know we don't realy know each other yet, but a party seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to come to au for :)

12:32 am

licketySplitAUS

Now that I've shared her with the world, can I have her back now?

12:32 am

licketySplitAUS

hehehe, I'm so proud of mrp. She's done so well through all her trials.

12:32 am

mrpresident

tragic, good enough reason for us too!

12:33 am

tragicstud

and the pretty thing is totally true - in fact you're both quite attractive

12:33 am

licketySplitAUS

oh there she is. I'm 35 kms away at the moment - be home in a few hours mrp.

12:33 am

sprite

12:36 am

tragicstud

12:40 am

mymuseisme

good night everyone

12:41 am

DRBERNABO

because its a general state of craziness, but without the plural as it were....

12:41 am

montreal13

don't have the IN 7 either...

12:41 am

FranMag

12:41 am

Ornith

12:42 am

FranMag

12:42 am

Ornith

gi7 Fran

12:42 am

FranMag

12:44 am

tragicstud

GroovyKiwi

hahahahaha what did ya end up calling it tragic

12:45 am

tragicstud

sherman

12:45 am

Ornith

tragic, claws or teeth? if it's still young you can train it to let you clip the claws

12:45 am

FranMag

taking a break to eat dinner, i'll be back in a bit!

12:45 am

tragicstud

you all named her

12:45 am

GroovyKiwi

12:46 am

montreal13

got the pi 7 and the gi 7 - still missing the in 7...

12:46 am

tragicstud

cause the pup's name is peabody

12:46 am

tragicstud

ornith - both :) she's super young, i'm scared to clip the claws

12:46 am

tragicstud

hmm

12:46 am

tragicstud

maybe i wil

12:47 am

Ornith

montreal, synonym for craziness, minus S toward the beginning

12:47 am

Ornith

tragic, then get her used to having her paws handled, will make it much easier later

12:48 am

tragicstud

did it

12:48 am

Ornith

as for teeth, bop *lightly* on the nose and tell her "no bite", and she'll get it eventually. also, don't try and play with her with your hands, they instinctively grab at hands if you try and play around their bellies

12:49 am

tragicstud

lol... but it's so fun!

12:49 am

tragicstud

sigh

12:49 am

Ornith

get one of those dangly-on-a-stick toys, they LOVE those

12:49 am

Ornith

my cat even drags the end of his to bed sometimes

12:49 am

montreal13

tx ornith, finally found it !

12:50 am

tragicstud

:) my cats love the string things, sherman is either too young or not so bright

12:50 am

pigeonman

Does anyone have the in7?

12:50 am

Ornith

pigeon, scroll back a bit

12:51 am

montreal13

i do thx to ornith's clue at 12:47

12:51 am

Aloyisius

pigeonman

12:51 am

GroovyKiwi

12:52 am

tragicstud

12:52 am

Ornith

12:52 am

tragicstud

mrpresident

if I can be totally embarassed by babblecast, you can too!

1:41 am

FranMag

your written english is perfect sprite, it's hard to believe you don't speak it just as well.

1:41 am

tragicstud

and we've already covered that accents make us all happy

1:42 am

sprite

stud: writing it is easier than talking though

1:42 am

Jellen

You do so well in chat, it's hard to remember it's not your primary language.

1:42 am

Erda

It's not mine either

1:42 am

jillibus

sheesh -- she is one of the best at the grid too!

1:42 am

sprite

I will, mrP :D
Looking forward to it too. We have to make an appointment soon, now that the crises are (hopefully) over.

1:43 am

1:44 am

is Croatian as complex as it looks and sounds?

1:44 am

FranMag

i love how every babbler is so different.

1:44 am

Erda

By now, my first language is English, and I am an editor to boot...

1:44 am

mrpresident

1:44 am

tragicstud

accent will cover up mistakes sprite - never underestimate the power of the accent

1:44 am

Erda

Yes, sprite, it's a mess

1:45 am

jillibus

still don't know how to get babblecasts

1:45 am

tragicstud

you're an editor?

1:46 am

FranMag

we (my sisters and i) actually spoke Kosraean at home even though we learned English at the same time.

1:46 am

Erda

yes I am

1:46 am

sprite

I once met a Croatian lady and I was totally fascinated by the language. Could not understand a word, it seems so different from most languages.

1:46 am

1:46 am

Erda

There are also dialects within the language -- so many that some of us don't understand the other

1:47 am

I am so pleased for you sprite what happened about the house payments?

2:24 am

sprite

we got help from a friend who is a financial planner. He said NOT to pay, but get another insurance. The mortgage giver let us know they will accept that. I am so relieved! Have to fill in the forms and all, working on that today. But it will be solved without us having to pay 9000 euro!

2:26 am

FranMag

that must have been a huuuge relief sprite!

2:26 am

caitlyn

That is brilliant news sprite ,we told you there was light at the end of the tunnel.Now get yourself well.

2:27 am

omg, I can't begin to tell you how much, Fran! It is still going to be tight, with the extra 250 a month and a paydrop of 30%, but we will find a solution for that. Better this than the whole drama we were facing.

2:42 am

FranMag

yum, it's a deal spritey!

2:43 am

MVA

ooh, hot smoked salmon!!!

2:43 am

rururocks

what is with the fish all the time...????????

2:44 am

FranMag

sprite might know more about the origins of that phrase.

2:44 am

FranMag

i only know about the monkeys

2:44 am

sprite

one of my favo easy recipes that look like haute cuisine, lol. Just cut up paprikas and bake them with black pepper. Cook fresh pasta. Then pasta on a plate, smoked salmon over it, paprika over it and enjoy.

2:45 am

MVA

wow, sounds lovely!

2:45 am

FranMag

by paprika, do you mean red bell peppers?

2:45 am

sprite

the fish has 2 meanings. First: not seeing a very easily spottable word or a very common word and then finally realising it deserves a slap with a (stinking) fish. Not nice. But some people do that to themselves, grin.

2:46 am

natasa

Does any one here like Serbian people

2:46 am

sprite

Fran: yes, the not-hot kind.

2:46 am

FranMag

i don't think i know any serbian people natasa, but i have no reason to dislike them.

2:47 am

sprite

and second fish: in the beginning of babble, there was a fish in almost every grid. For months and months on end. We used to start the day by asking if anyone had found the fish of the day yet. It was fun.

2:47 am

FranMag

sprite, that sounds good, we grill ours to get a char on them. very tasty.

2:47 am

natasa

Oh ok..im Serbian

2:47 am

sprite

I think I only know one Serbian lady and she is very kind. But I have never felt that like or dislike would go with a people, just with individuals.

2:48 am

FranMag

does that explain the fish for you ruru?

2:48 am

sprite

and as far as I can tell so far, you seem very nice too, natasa.

2:48 am

FranMag

oh good, now i sort of know a serbian person. :-)

2:51 am

3:37 am

Jellen

Hi, Haz

3:37 am

FranMag

you'd think 4 four-letter words would be easier to find!

3:37 am

Haz1558

Greetings all. My sainthood hasn't been imperilled then?

3:37 am

Atalante

not quite

3:37 am

sprite

not one bit

3:37 am

FranMag

thanks everyone!

3:38 am

FranMag

i would vote for you. :-)

3:38 am

Haz1558

Thank goodness, I was going to have to be extra virtuous to wipe out the memory of my drunken day.

3:38 am

sprite

me too!

3:38 am

FranMag

sounds like a scandal haz.

3:38 am

Atalante

I think you're safe

3:39 am

Haz1558

You're all very forgiving.

3:39 am

sprite

I replayed the video. That kid is fabulous.

3:39 am

sprite

I think there is holiness in alcohol too

3:39 am

FranMag

or the making of a scandal.

3:39 am

Haz1558

FranMag, I had a day of virtual drinking.

3:39 am

Atalante

nope, we're just storing up points for blackmail later down the line

3:39 am

sprite

nah Haz, the more you show yourself the more we love you. That's all.

3:40 am

Haz1558

So you can eventually blame me instead of FM?

3:40 am

Atalante

oh no, we always blame FM

3:40 am

sprite

no blaming allowed

3:40 am

Haz1558

But sprite, we have to blame someone and FM is handy.

3:41 am

Atalante

and she's always to blame!

3:41 am

FranMag

plus, she's not here

3:41 am

sprite

leave my babblesoul sister in peace!

3:41 am

Atalante

no, not *that* FM! the other one!

3:41 am

sprite

my OTHER babblesoul sister that is

3:41 am

Haz1558

We'd still blame her anyway, FranMag, we believe in confronting the issues head on.

3:41 am

sprite

FM is the best :)

3:41 am

Atalante

LOL

3:42 am

FranMag

LOL

3:42 am

Atalante

anyone that is to blamefor Paris Hilton must be to blame for everything else too

3:42 am

sprite

you're in New Zealand today, Ata??

3:42 am

Haz1558

I think so.

3:43 am

Atalante

have been for a while. to make up for my mother refusing to bring me back any NZ chocolate from her trip there in a few months

3:43 am

FranMag

she's to blame for Paris Hilton? then for sure she must be accountable.

3:43 am

Haz1558

What are her reasons?

3:43 am

sprite

sounds like a good reason to me, Ata

3:43 am

Atalante

she will have no room in her case

3:43 am

FranMag

wow, that little girl is amazing sprite!

3:44 am

sprite

isn't she just!

3:44 am

Haz1558

She's decided that already?

3:44 am

Atalante

yup! LOL

3:44 am

sprite

I think your mother needs a good talkto :)

3:44 am

jakes-mum

hello all, how is everyone today?

3:44 am

FranMag

hi J-M!

3:44 am

Haz1558

Good morning jakes-mum.

3:44 am

sprite

hi jakes-mum

3:44 am

Jellen

Hi, jakes-mum

3:45 am

Atalante

we ended up having a big agrument about it yesterday. she says I was being unreasonable to ask, I said she was being unreasonable to be so silly

3:45 am

Haz1558

How much chocolate did you want her to bring back?

3:45 am

Haz1558

A caseful? A few bars?

3:45 am

Atalante

1 chocolate bar! LOL!

3:46 am

FranMag

how much do you want? a couple kilos?

3:46 am

Atalante

well, preferably 2, but I'd settle for 1 LOL

3:46 am

Haz1558

Well, yes, then you can see how she wouldn't be able to make room for a bar of chocolate.

3:46 am

sprite

Fran, are the babblecasts sound only?

3:46 am

Atalante

well, yes. I realise now how unreasonable such a request was

3:47 am

Atalante

yes, sprite

3:47 am

sprite

what is so special about the NZ chocolate, Ata?

3:47 am

FranMag

yes sprite, from podbean it is.

3:47 am

Jellen

Thank goodness yes, sprite! Only sound.

3:47 am

sprite

ok, then I think the Winpodder would be ok

3:47 am

Atalante

we can;t get it over here and I pine for it!

3:48 am

Haz1558

Maybe your mother was saving you from yourself. Maybe it was tough love.

3:48 am

Haz1558

Maybe - maybe I'm just making excuses for her.

3:48 am

Atalante

ha! maybe it was my mother being weird like normal. its funny, she's an angel 97% of the time, then turns into the wicked witch of the west for the rest

3:49 am

FranMag

lol

3:49 am

sprite

LOL

3:49 am

Atalante

this is the woman who told me I looked too fat at my own wedding!

3:49 am

sprite

omg she did not

3:49 am

Haz1558

Okayyyyy, I go with the tough love/foot in mouth theory.

3:50 am

Haz1558

Would she have preferred that you not go through with the wedding?

3:50 am

Atalante

lol yeah. I love her dearly, but sometimes I want to scream!

3:50 am

Atalante

she looooved the wedding, it was the best day of her life. I just should have looked better *facepalm*

3:51 am

Atalante

and no, I didnt look as bad as The Dress woman!

3:51 am

Haz1558

Well, I suppose you'd have a better idea now. After all you've seen THE DRESS for inspiration.

3:51 am

Atalante

oh yes. my next wedding I'll have one of those

3:52 am

Haz1558

I bet her mum didn't go on about her being fat. There was so much else to focus on.

3:52 am

Atalante

LOL yes! maybe I didnt keep her occupied enough during the day

3:53 am

sprite

yay, have the podcast working!

3:53 am

Haz1558

You should have had a few surprises kept in store for producing throughout the day.

3:53 am

FranMag

Haz, i found a second DRESS! from the year before, it weighed 25 stone supposedly.

3:53 am

FranMag

oh good sprite!

3:53 am

jakes-mum

ummm i've got some news, is now a good time to but into the conversation? *looks round imploringly*

3:54 am

Haz1558

Spill it, jakes-mum.

3:54 am

sprite

listening to Jacula now :)

3:54 am

FranMag

go ahead J-M

3:54 am

jakes-mum

i'm having a little girl, I found out yesterday

3:54 am

Haz1558

Boy or girl, or one of each, or two of each?

3:54 am

Haz1558

Oh, lovely. You can start planning her wedding....

3:54 am

sprite

no, it is nut and mrP

3:54 am

FranMag

that's wonderful J-M!

3:54 am

Atalante

woohooooo!

3:55 am

Haz1558

Congratulations jakes-mum - I know it's what you were hoping for.

3:55 am

Atalante

LOL the best one of that day was when we were getting to the church in the car, it was just me and mum. I wanted to be traditionally late, and asked the driver to pull over. Mum yells at him not to stop and I get a lecture till pulling into the church entrance about how I shouldn't be so mean and horrid to my poor husband-to-be as to make him wait for 2 minutes!

3:55 am

sprite

some mums...

3:55 am

FranMag

speaking of two of each, some poor woman just had a second set of triplets! conceived without fertility treatments.

3:55 am

jakes-mum

ty very much all, Jakey not so happy lol

3:55 am

Atalante

don't do that to her when she grows up, JM :P

3:55 am

Haz1558

I see comedy material in your mother, Atalante.

3:56 am

Haz1558

Jake will be a doting elder brother, I'm sure.

3:56 am

jakes-mum

Nooo! am already planning THE DRESS lol

3:56 am

Haz1558

FranMag, my legs are crossed at the very thought.

3:56 am

Atalante

omg there is *immense* comedy material in her! Some of the things .... you just have to laugh!

3:57 am

FranMag

tell us more ata

3:57 am

sprite

laugh to not cry?

3:57 am

Atalante

where's this other dress then, Fran???

3:57 am

jakes-mum

ohhh 2 sets of triplets! I bet she did alot of yoga before the births

3:57 am

FranMag

wow, let me see if i can find it again.

3:57 am

sprite

this podcast is perfectly stereo!

3:58 am

Haz1558

That's one woman who'll need to do her pelvic floor exercises.

3:58 am

sprite

I have mrP at my right and nut at my left and I am so inclined to join in the conversation!

3:59 am

FranMag

amazing, found it right away
http://tinyurl.com/2xdwfg

4:00 am

Atalante

OMG!

4:00 am

Jellen

Okay, leaving now to dream about DRESSES and triplets and Ata's mum. Bye, all.

4:00 am

FranMag

bye jellen! sleep well

4:00 am

sprite

have to be off now, you all have a terrific day or night or whatever and thanks for being this incredible babble crew.

4:01 am

Atalante

oh dear, thats embarrassing, her reception was in a hotel down the road fom where I grew up

4:01 am

FranMag

more pictures:
http://tinyurl.com/r29pe

4:01 am

FranMag

bye sprite! have a great day, thanks for your help!

4:01 am

Atalante

20 metres of silk, 1,600 metres of tulle and thousands of metres of net

4:01 am

Haz1558

I've had a look at the dress. You can see that a deep tan, big hair and lack of brains are required elements to carry off a dress like that.

4:02 am

Haz1558

And look, she even had Jordan's wedding carriage.

4:02 am

Atalante

she looks like a bubble in there, nearly fills it up

4:02 am

FranMag

absolutely haz, but don't forget the purchased ... um, assets.

4:03 am

Haz1558

Assets? You mean she's not entirely natural?

4:03 am

FranMag

she wants to be just like Jordan, therefore...

4:03 am

Atalante

wonder if the groom lookslike Peter

4:04 am

Haz1558

And look, she was 16, the groom was 17. And I'm starting to realise that with a name like O'Brien.....

4:04 am

Atalante

lol, think there may be a connection?

4:04 am

Haz1558

There's a connection all right.

4:04 am

FranMag

we should look for this couple at the reception!

4:05 am

Haz1558

I'll bet Spangle that they are cousins of the most recent wedding couple.

4:05 am

FranMag

did anyone get a close look at the girl in the mermaid dress?

4:05 am

Atalante

I'm sure!! they simply must be

4:06 am

Haz1558

They'll have been sitting in a corner of the room, taking down notes and deciding 'Ours will be even better.

4:06 am

Haz1558

Some people run races, some people make money to be competitive - this lot create bad taste competitively.

4:06 am

Atalante

well the first dress did have more sequins ....

4:06 am

FranMag

well, they're pretty good at it, you have to admit

4:07 am

Haz1558

It's a pretty specialist field.

4:07 am

Atalante

one wonders what will come next ....

4:07 am

FranMag

LOL

4:07 am

FranMag

okay, i love talking to you all, but it's time for me to head out.

4:07 am

Haz1558

The next bride will probably turn up in a lorry, tastefully? disguised as a fairy castle.

4:08 am

Atalante

good specialist subject for Mastermind

4:08 am

FranMag

LOL

4:08 am

Haz1558

Good to see you again, Franmag, and thanks for the second dress!

4:08 am

FranMag

i love to share. :-) you two have a great day! bye

4:08 am

Haz1558

I'd be no use at remembering all the figures though for the sequins and crystals.

4:09 am

Atalante

bye fran!

4:09 am

Haz1558

Bye Franmag.

4:09 am

Atalante

I should go too, I'm getting big spaniel eyes from near the floor

4:09 am

Haz1558

Well get up off the floor, then,

4:10 am

Atalante

accompanied by sad sighs

4:10 am

Atalante

this dog has never been walked, never been loved ...

4:10 am

Haz1558

I came home yesterday to be treated to Spangle in full howl. It's quite funny.

4:11 am

Atalante

lol i bet! I wish hobbit would howl. she refuses to. never heard her howl

4:11 am

Haz1558

I had only been away about half an hour but I could hear this baying from outside the front door. A real head back job.

4:12 am

Atalante

wow! impressive! spaniel of the baskervilles

4:12 am

Haz1558

Oh absolutely. Her barks and howls are very impressive.

4:13 am

Atalante

yay spangle!

4:13 am

Atalante

ok, must go. back later!

4:13 am

Haz1558

Bye for now, Atalante.

4:15 am

KatieMcG

I'd already chosen my wedding dress, however having reviewed the photos I might have to change my mind, it was so classy!!

4:16 am

Haz1558

Good girl, Katie. Make babble proud of you. Going for the record?

4:17 am

KatieMcG

Might have to up the budget for the wedding though :-)

4:17 am

Haz1558

So, do without things like a house or furniture. Get your priorities right.

Hello ZZen - think of lofts and men in flat caps.

herinfernallady

Hi Zen and bats are not flying rats that would and always will be pigeons

6:40 am

rolin

6:40 am

Haz1558

The Germans think of bats as flying mice, you have good grounds for the thought, Zen.

6:41 am

Haz1558

But in crowds, rolin?

6:41 am

herinfernallady

Rolin Pigeons at The GPO in the city use your head as a marking spot for pooping on

6:41 am

Ogdens Nut

6:45 am

Ogdens Nut

Bats are not only hideously ugly, they are positively evil-looking

6:45 am

herinfernallady

Some of the smaller bat species are important pollinators of some tropical flowers. Indeed, many tropical plants are now found to be totally dependent on them, not just for pollination, but for spreading their seeds by eating the resulting fruits

6:46 am

Haz1558

Probably aimed at School Principles who are retiring.

6:48 am

carleekat

<POMOPM TOSS> for kristine

6:48 am

herinfernallady

But if we stoopid humans didn't destroy bat habitats they wouldn't cause problems

6:48 am

rolin

the worst thing to have is a possum in your roof

6:48 am

Haz1558

Okay, back to the sweeping of the floors now that we;ve rid the world of bats and pigeons.

6:49 am

KristineNas

Now I must go and get my baby ready for her first day ALONE at Kindergarten !! She's already in hysterics !!! Gonna be a long 4 hours

6:49 am

Haz1558

Are possums bad, then, rolin?

6:49 am

Ogdens Nut

Oh yes, bring on the mother-in-law jokes Haz - always appreciated

6:49 am

Haz1558

Bad language and anti-social behaviour? They should probably have their own social workers, they're just misunderstood.

6:49 am

rolin

possums are beautiful... but when they pi** above your ceiling...the yellow stain is there for ever

6:49 am

6:51 am

herinfernallady

Yep in the burbs off all places. Its the Bush tail possums that are irritating.

6:51 am

Haz1558

It's probably a conspiracy between possums and plasterers.

6:51 am

Haz1558

You'll probably find that the plasterers have them trained.

6:51 am

KristineNas

ooh she loves those or maybe I can tell, her she can vacuum when she gets home SHE LOVES THAT LOL

6:51 am

Ogdens Nut

7:37 am

herinfernallady

I may not work but i do all the domestic chores and dont pay rent or bills. I do save my meager income

7:37 am

Scrabbler

OK, FMitch!!

7:37 am

Haz1558

She was the one mouthing to her dancing partner 'Why didn't we get our wedding on TV?'

7:38 am

72 Temple Owl

no, mitch. babblecast seems to have enought material.

7:38 am

FMitch

Life NEVE ceases to amaze me.

Scrabbler how about the 12th and we can ask babbler if the theme can be our joint celebration?

7:38 am

Scrabbler

Babblecast--LOL---I never finished listening to the fecal commentary.

7:39 am

Anniebrook

Hi Eva

7:39 am

72 Temple Owl

for god's sake the girl is marrying a GARDENER

7:40 am

EvaNadine

how is everyone?

7:40 am

Haz1558

Yes, but he's a direct descendant of Capability Brown.

7:40 am

FMitch

She has a greenhouse under that dress

7:40 am

Atalante

The bride arrived at the church in a glass carriage, pulled by six horses, and had to be lifted out by 3 men and assorted members of the wedding party. Her gown was so wide it became stuck in the church door, so she was tugged into the church. Then 20 guests had to push and pull Carly up the aisle toward her groom, Michael Coffey, 17. This took an hour and a half, possibly the longest bride walk in history. Afterwards, she was so exhausted that her new husband and 14 relatives had to carry her from the chapel.

7:40 am

Anniebrook

thanks, Ata, going to see

7:40 am

Haz1558

And at 17 there's plenty of potential for the years ahead.

7:40 am

Scrabbler

Well, when they have their first big fight he can take his hoe and rake and shred that giant marshmallow of a dress.

7:40 am

Scrabbler

LOL, FMitch!!!!

7:41 am

KatieMcG

disco shot....what disco shot? There is a dress I am missing out on!! I've seen the Jordon inspired one is there another one?

7:41 am

FMitch

Imagine the christening dresse for the offspring

7:41 am

Haz1558

Calm down Katie. You will need all your wits about you when you view the videos.

7:41 am

Ogdens Nut

Imagine the offspring!!!!

7:41 am

EvaNadine

i see we are still discussing inane bridal catastrophes. ;)

7:42 am

72 Temple Owl

7:42 am

Haz1558

Who has the links for the scary wedding - the one with the pink bridesmaids and Michael Jackson crawling up the aisle under the dress.

7:42 am

FMitch

Hi EvaN, how are you?

Glad to see $25 000 quid being waisted on a 16 year old whom i have no doubt will divorce him in 4 years

7:43 am

Haz1558

Bear in mind that Katie is getting married soon. She's hoping for inspiration.

7:43 am

EvaNadine

well, well, whoda thunk it -- thanks haz!

7:46 am

Haz1558

I still think they'll be pink.

7:46 am

72 Temple Owl

they can get it annulee. on the gorounds of innsufficient mental capacity. the dress is the evidence

7:46 am

Atalante

lol very true TO!

7:47 am

Haz1558

Zen - I reckon the brides we're talking about are probably from travelling families, so they're very traditional in their family life, if not in their taste.

7:47 am

FMitch

Ata did you by chance see 8 out of 10 cats on Ch4 last night?

7:47 am

Atalante

pink and feathery and fluffy

7:47 am

Atalante

no, I didn't ...

7:47 am

Anniebrook

Good lord, I saw the dress. I once was at a wedding where the bride and groom were to come up through an opening in the middle of the dance floor. The elevator became jammed and all we could see were their heads sticking out of the floor like mushrooms. It took an hour to get them out. I found it quite schmaltzy. Overdone to vulgarity

7:47 am

FMitch

Bum, keep an eye out if it is repeated or if you can watch on E4 so such

7:48 am

Atalante

what was on it?

7:48 am

Haz1558

That sounds so good, Annie - stupid people trying to make a show!

7:48 am

herinfernallady

Yes spending $61 000 Aus is a fantastic idea.

7:48 am

KatieMcG

Did any UK people see the teenage brides programme on tv a couple of weeks ago (you see I am obsessed!) there was a 16 yr old whose dress was nearly as bad she looked about 40

7:48 am

72 Temple Owl

omg annie! too much!

7:48 am

7:49 am

That was the dress we were talking about, katie. A slightly overdone make-up look.

7:52 am

herinfernallady

Oh Yes considering that dress is the just above British yearly wage

7:52 am

Haz1558

But FM's to blame for the downward spiral.

7:52 am

EvaNadine

yes, ive heard that absolutely everything is FMitch's fault

7:52 am

KatieMcG

Mind you I have got addicted to Wedding TV which is mainly Canadian programmes, honestly rich bride poor bride is quality tv, how some of them make it up the aisle is beyond me. The for better or for worse is car crash tv with relatives organising the wedding on a $5000 budget

7:52 am

Haz1558

Everything.

7:53 am

Atalante

absolutely everything

7:53 am

Haz1558

Tout.

7:56 am

It was more the relatives deciding on everything without any input from the bride and groom that frightened me!

7:56 am

EvaNadine

are all of the W words WH?

7:56 am

herinfernallady

Katie

7:56 am

Haz1558

Just get a T-shirt saying ' sorry for everything'. That should cover it.

7:57 am

FMitch

That sounds rather too door matish for me Haz

7:57 am

Haz1558

I don't know about the w words, I'd forgotten there was a grid.

7:57 am

FMitch

There is 1 x we5/22

7:58 am

Haz1558

Never be a door mat, FMitch, it's good to show a little resistance.

She's done everything, that's why it's all her fault.

8:00 am

Atalante

its also her fault my cat has just been sick

8:00 am

Haz1558

Sick again - not more furballs?

8:01 am

Haz1558

You can get a special diet for furballs.....

8:01 am

Ogdens Nut

Does she cast wicked spells??

8:01 am

Haz1558

It's probably hugely expensive but cheaper than replacing carpets.

8:01 am

Atalante

no, she just scarfed down a huge bowl of food ....

8:01 am

FMitch

Zan, you have the opportunity to be unique and NOT blame me for anything.

8:01 am

Scrabbler

I was off packing for my kayaking trip. FMitch, do you need some assistance with this trash talking.

8:02 am

Haz1558

No, Zen, no spells but we can usually see her influence on things like global warming and Paris Hilton.

8:02 am

Haz1558

Ah well, the furball diet can be put on hold, then.

8:02 am

FMitch

LOL no thanks Scrabbler, if they feel the need to transfer blame/guilt, it's OK by me.

8:02 am

Atalante

I think my cat casts spells though

8:03 am

Haz1558

(Did Scrabbler just call us trash?)

8:03 am

Scrabbler

You are a wonderful martyr, FMitch.

8:03 am

Atalante

I think so!

8:03 am

Ogdens Nut

FM, no blaming from me - till i see any evidence

8:03 am

Scrabbler

No, just the talk is trash, LOL.

8:03 am

Haz1558

8:05 am

Scrabbler

I come to FMitch's defense and look what happens, LOL. OK, I confess, most of world's problems are my fault as well.

8:05 am

Ogdens Nut

8:05 am

FMitch

Anyhoo I'm going to go and email Babbler and try and book our Birthday Park Scrabs, you had better start drawing up the invite list.

9:01 am

EvaNadine

carlee -- your icon reminds me of the Spin Art toy i used to have as a kid...
youd put globs of paint on a piece of paper + put it in the machine, which spun it around, forcing the paint outwards...
i LOVED that thing, but i dont think my parents were as fond of the mess it often made...hah

9:01 am

EvaNadine

merk -- whyfore?

9:02 am

carleekat

hahaha...i forgot about those... I sent my daughter out into the yard with botles of paint and had her fling paint...my grass is rather colourful at the moment...

9:03 am

9:04 am

EvaNadine

oh wait, i got a different PO5...
hrmmm

9:04 am

bichon

po 5, sounds like fat but a different first vowel

9:04 am

Haz1558

Then the clue worked - po5/22 - begins with the pea container, ends up descriptive of one who is pleasantly plump

9:04 am

EvaNadine

NM got it now. the clue makes MUCH more sense now!
hehe

9:05 am

EvaNadine

i think of that more as a PU than a PO

9:05 am

greenbayladi

a desert is a biome. but after haz's comment, i better check i guess.

9:32 am

Haz1558

We are - mine is the last

5:15 pm

PixieGrrrl

To cheeky - In Germany and france (not sure about britain) 1000 million is called milliarde and billion is used for ami english trillion (1.000.000.000.000)

5:16 pm

tragicstud

:) either is fine

5:16 pm

Jellen

Confusion in numbers, lol

5:16 pm

Jacula

Evening all. Just looking back on the chat, the 'we' word has another meaning. See my icon clues.

5:16 pm

Jellen

Fortunately, I don't deal in large numbers very often, particularly in international sets.

5:16 pm

5:17 pm

Jellen

Hi, feather!

5:18 pm

Jacula

Hi, jilli. Was looking at your pics earlier. V. nice. Lovely to see a group of Babblers together. I wonder... what would be a good collective noun?

5:19 pm

featherbee

a gaggle of geese...a baggle of babblers?

5:19 pm

Jacula

Hi, feather. I like to give value! LOL. Was looking at your blog earlier, too. Love the 'What is a Boy?' thing.

5:19 pm

featherbee

isn't that just awesome?

5:19 pm

Jellen

a blab of Babblers?

5:20 pm

Jacula

feather - It is! I've saved it to put in a card next time someone I know has a baby boy.

5:20 pm

Jacula

Jellen - not bad.

5:20 pm

featherbee

very cool jac

5:20 pm

featherbee

A gaggle of Babblers? A clue of Babblers?

5:21 pm

Scrabbler

Hello all.

5:22 pm

Jellen

True, jilli. That's one of my favorite collective nouns.

5:22 pm

Jacula

jilli - true! Not sure I fancy a 'mass murder' of Babblers though or a 'massacre' of Babblers. LOL

5:22 pm

Jellen

Hi, Scrabbler

5:22 pm

Scrabbler

Callie is right next to me. She is grooming herself as she sits on her little carpet. Her big right hind foot is sticking out and she is licking it.

5:25 pm

5:25 pm

featherbee

5:26 pm

jvane7

Thanks everyone!!! down to just the ta5,14 the last one...

5:26 pm

Scrabbler

I don't know what we5 is from Jacula's clue.

5:26 pm

Jacula

'Bye feather/heather. See you again.

5:26 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, no, Feather. You have a migraine? That stinks!

5:33 pm

hurshy

marty's THIRD walk was a definite success. he only meowed when i carried the stroller down the front steps and when i tried to take a side trip up a driveway to show him some deer.

5:33 pm

Jacula

Hello, hursh.

5:33 pm

Jellen

Marty the Adventurer!

5:33 pm

hurshy

hello

5:34 pm

hurshy

sooner or later, hopefully, i'll get out the stroller and tell him to hop in and he will. he does that with the scale.

5:34 pm

Jellen

How old is Marty?

5:34 pm

hurshy

7

5:35 pm

Jacula

hursh - If I'd read your blog I might know why your cat needs to go out in a stroller (pushchair?)

5:36 pm

Jellen

I'm wondering how my 13-year-olds would react to a stroller. One of them very badly, I suspect.

5:36 pm

hurshy

my cat doesn't need to go out in a stroller, i need to get exercise, and i'm more motivated if i bring him along for company.

5:36 pm

moolingwa

afternoon all

5:36 pm

hurshy

marty is the most tolerant of my three cats. mitten i'm going to try taking at some point, cinder would definitely NOT be a fan.

5:38 pm

moolingwa

sounds like too much for one person stud

5:38 pm

Jacula

in7, moo, is total stupidity or the banal and vaccuous.

5:38 pm

hurshy

put any of my cats on a leash and (like most cats, i suspect) they plop down on the ground and say, "WHAT on earth do you think you are doing? i refuse to go anywhere in this undignified condition."

5:38 pm

lynxxx

5:38 pm

Jellen

Bye, tragic

5:40 pm

hurshy

mine has a basket to carry stuff under the main part, i'm thinking about making a top flap if mitten ends up liking it so i could take them both.

5:40 pm

jvane7

Thank you Jellen and Moolingwa

Scrabbler

Your cat's name is Dog?

5:47 pm

hurshy

well that is sort of neat, mine is the petgear ultralight one. it's good. i sort of like that the mesh is dark so theoretically someone might think i'm just walking a baby, like a normal person....

5:47 pm

d-o-g.. ( dee*oh*gee)

5:48 pm

wild22

hey

5:48 pm

Jacula

carra - He's cute. That explains the noise and insistence on going out then. I just wondered if it was queen on heat behaviour. Obviously not.

5:48 pm

wild22

lol

5:48 pm

hurshy

some people have gender identity issues, that cat is going to have species identity issues

5:49 pm

Scrabbler

I was looking at pet strollers on line last night, Hursh, after you mentioned them. The choices are incredible. I am not sure if any of my rabbits would tolerate a ride.

5:49 pm

Jacula

A bit like A Boy Named Sue.

5:49 pm

hurshy

do you ever travel with your rabbits?

5:50 pm

wild22

la la la la la who's bored?

5:50 pm

carra

yeah theres some cute pet strollers with mesh that look like short regular baby stoller.. someone had a puppy in one

5:50 pm

Scrabbler

No, except when they go to the vet's office. I have a carrier crate, or wrap them in a baby blanket.

5:50 pm

carra - when you post the url for an image it makes it easier for people to see it in one click on here if you go to tinyurl.com first and reduce the url down to one line.

5:54 pm

saphyre

wow I'm jealous wild22 :)

5:54 pm

wild22

really it happened

5:54 pm

hurshy

if a guy was stupid enough to get in a fistfight over me or anything else, i don't think he would be the sort of person i could have any sort of conversation with.

5:54 pm

Scrabbler

That would be fun, hurshy. Sebastian would travel well. He is the little guy. When I took him to the vet in January I put him in my jacket and zipped him up in there for the ride. Just his little head was popping out.

6:00 pm

Colhad

Jacula, I was thinking a rusty nail :P

6:00 pm

Jacula

Colhad - LOL

6:01 pm

Jacula

6:01 pm

Scrabbler

Great idea, Colhad, LOL

6:04 pm

Scrabbler

We kayaked to a little island in the lake and made a campfire. We collected rocks from the lake and put them in a circle. We stacked up branches, started the fire and then feared getting caught as the smoke floated away. It was not a designated campsite. (But, it was not not designated either.)

6:04 pm

Jellen

I wondered about that too, JBs

6:04 pm

JBsAnno

JBsAnno

Betcha they were good, Scrabs!! I LOVED making pancakes over an open fire (years ago)

6:07 pm

Scrabbler

Colhad, they rhyme with the bird that poops in parks and on statues

6:07 pm

Jacula

Scrabbs - did you save any pancakes for me??

6:07 pm

JBsAnno

It should be, Jac!

Who do we write to for complaints? (other than Hursh who heads the No Trolls Department!)

6:07 pm

Jacula

Well done, jellen.

6:08 pm

JBsAnno

Yay, Jellen!

6:08 pm

6:09 pm

Jacula

Hi, dan.

6:09 pm

Yoink

Guess you're just lucky, Hurshy

6:09 pm

Yoink

hi, dan

6:10 pm

JBsAnno

Hursh, you're kinda like a saint (Caltholicism) to intercede for us "little people" <little grin>

6:10 pm

Scrabbler

Jacula, we were about to have another swim when we heard voices. We were disappointed that someone violated our privacy as they had paddled past us and saw us there. Then they hiked all over and past us....I would never had done that.

6:10 pm

hurshy

heavens to betsy

6:10 pm

JBsAnno

How rude of them, Scrabbler!

6:11 pm

6:12 pm

JBsAnno

So he's like an emperor with new clothes, Jac?

6:12 pm

Scrabbler

My friend was stoking the fire with a long branch and joked that we could play "Survivor" and spear them with the fire-tipped spear.

It was a mom and dad and a little boy, and it is a small lake so there were not concerns about safety.

6:13 pm

Colhad

6:13 pm

Jellen

Congrats, Colhad!

6:13 pm

Jacula

When I was a kid we used to go to a 7-mile long beach that had an unoffical 'naturist/nudist' end. We kids used to try to creep up on the nudies through the dunes but they always spotted us. My gran, however, used to monopolise and get eyefuls through my uncle's binoculars and say it was 'disgusting!'

6:13 pm

Scrabbler

Yippee Colhad!!

6:14 pm

Scrabbler

Yoink

Hi Mr P

6:17 pm

Jellen

Hi, Mrp!

6:17 pm

Jacula

Scrabbs - thing was it was the men playing cricket at the sea's edge she had the binocs mostly trained on! She didn't half used to puff (with disgust?) when the men ran and bent down to pick up a ball. It's only looking back as an adult that I can see why my parents and aunts, and uncles, were laughing so much.

6:18 pm

Scrabbler

It is a great story, Jacula!

6:19 pm

JBsAnno

Sorry no replies, had to be afk for a minute.

featherbee

i've seen several potential UTBs tonight, what's up with that?

6:23 pm

Jacula

They were fine until he tried to swim... and then emerge from the water. The sodden wool brought the crotch down to his knees and the poor man didn't know whether to wring that out or hold 'em up or both. It's on a movie film of my late-uncle's somewhere.

6:23 pm

Jacula

Hi, carlee.

The joke: A woman sitting in a restaurant suddenly began to cough.
After a few seconds it became apparent that she was in real distress.
Two locals, MacKenzie and Donald sitting at the next table turned to
look at her.

" Kin ya swalla ? " Asked MacKenzie.
The woman signalled 'No!' , desperately shaking her head.
" Kin ya breath ? " Asked MacDonald.
The woman shook her head NO !!!

With that, MacKenzie walked behind her, lifted up the back of her dress,
yanked down her knickers and ran his tongue up and down the crack of her
backside.

This shocked the woman into such a violent spasm, that the
obstruction flew out of her mouth and she began to breath again.
MacKenzie swaggered back to his table and took a deep swig of his
beer.

Donald said in admiration, "Ya know MacKenzie, I'd heard of that bloody
'Hind Lick Manoeuvre', but that's the first time I ever seen somebody
do it".

One day a teacher had a taste test with her students.
She picked a little boy to do the first test.

She blindfolded him, put a Hershey kiss in his mouth
and asked, "Do you know what it is?"

"No, I don't," said the little boy.

"Okay, I'll give you a clue. It's the thing your daddy wants
from your Mom before he goes to work."

Suddenly, a little girl at the back of the room yelled,

"Spit it out! It's a piece of Ass!"

An Irish joke (not sure if it will translate to USA but we'll have a go): Two Irishmen walk into a pet shop in Dingle. They head to the bird section and Gerry says to Paddy, "Dat's dem."

The owner comes over and asks if he can help them.

"Yeah, we'll take four of dem dere little budgies in dat cage up dere," says Gerry.

The owner puts the budgies in a cardboard box. Paddy and Gerry pay for the
birds, leave the shop and get into Gerry's truck to drive to the top of the
Connor Pass.

At the Connor Pass , Gerry looks down at the 1000-foot drop and says,"Dis
looks like a grand place."

He takes two birds out of the box, puts one on each shoulder and jumps off the cliff.

Paddy watches as the budgies fly off and Gerry falls all the way to the
bottom, killing himself stone dead.

7:35 pm

inge

The bar tender yells : two regular and one plasma!

7:36 pm

Jacula

Oops, sorry, inge. Didn't mean to post mid-joke.

7:36 pm

7:37 pm

Jacula

End of my joke: Looking down at the remains of his best pal, Paddy shakes his head and says,
"Fook dat. Dis budgie jumping is too fook'n dangerous for me!"

THERE'S MORE. . .

Moments later, Seamus arrives up at Connor Pass. He's been to the pet shop too and walks up to the edge of the cliff carrying another cardboard box in one hand and a shotgun in the other.

"Hi, Paddy. Watch dis," Seamus says. He takes a parrot from the box and
lets him fly free. He then throws himself over the edge of the cliff with the gun.

Paddy watches as half way down, Seamus takes the gun and shoots the parrot.

Seamus continues to plummet down and down until he hits the bottom and breaks every bone in his body.

Paddy shakes his head and says, "And I'm never trying dat parrotshooting
either!"

SORRY BUT IT IS NOT OVER YET...

Paddy is just getting over the shock of losing two friends when Sean appears. He's also been to the pet shop and is carrying a cardboard box out of which he pulls a chicken.

Sean then takes the chicken by its legs and hurls himself off the cliff and
disappears down and down until he hits a rock and breaks his spine.

Once more Paddy shakes his head.

"Fook dat,lads! First dere was Gerry with his budgie-jumping, den Seamus
parrot-shooting and now Sean and his fook'n hen-gliding!"

Bill and Tom are two Irishmen working at the local sawmill.

One day Bill slips and his arm gets caught and severed by the big bench saw.

Tom quickly puts the limb in a plastic bag and rushes it and Bill to the
local hospital.

Next day, Tom goes to the hospital and asks after Bill.

The nurse says, 'Oh he's out in Rehab exercising'.

Tom couldn't believe it, but here's Bill out the back exercising his now
reattached arm. The very next day he's back at work in the saw mill.

A couple of days go by, and then Bill slips and severs his leg on another
bloody big saw thing. So Tom puts the limb in a plastic bag and rushes it
and Bill off to hospital.

Next day he calls in to see him and asks the nurse how he is.

The nurse replies, 'He's out in the Rehab again exercising'. And sure enough, here's Bill out there doing some serious work on the treadmill...

...And Bill comes back to work. But, as usual, within a couple of days he has another accident and severs his head. Wearily, Tom puts the head in a
plastic bag and transports it and Bill to hospital.

Next day he goes in and asks the nurse how Bill is.

The nurse breaks down and cries and says, 'He's dead'

Tom is shocked, but not surprised. 'I suppose the saw finally did him in?'

'No,' says the nurse.'Some dopey b*stard put his head in a plastic bag and he suffocated.'

The bear says,"If you do not give me a drink,I will go down there & eat her up!" The bartender refuses to give the bear a drink so he goes to the lady and eats her up. The bear goes back to his seat & says, "Now will you give me a drink?"The bartender says "Nope!" The bear says, "WHAT??"The bartender says,not only do we not serve bears,but we do not serve bears on drugs."The bear says, " What? I am not on drugs!

7:49 pm

The joke:A man with a bald head and a wooden leg is invited to a fancy dress party. He doesn't know what to wear to hide his head and his wooden leg so he wrote to a fancy dress company to explain his problem.

A few days later he receives a parcel with a note: Dear Sir, please find enclosed a pirate's outfit. The spotted handkerchief will cover your bald head and with your wooden leg you will be just right as a pirate. The man thinks this is terrible because they emphasized his disability, so he writes a letter of complaint.

A week passes and he received another parcel. Dear Sir, sorry about the previous parcel. Please find a monk's habit. The long robe will cover your wooden leg and with your bald head you will really look the part.

The man is extremely furious now, because the company has gone from emphasizing his wooden leg to rawing attention to his bald head. So he writes a really rude letter of complaint.

A few days later, he gets a very small parcel from the company with an accompanying letter:

Dear Sir,

Please find enclosed a tin of Golden Syrup. Pour the tin of Golden Syrup over your bald head, stick your wooden leg up your bum and go as a toffee apple!

8:31 pm

Jacula

8:34 pm

Jacula

My kids are in the middle of the Serengeti in tents at Kuhama at present. Moving on to Ngorongoro log lodge tomorrow. Thank tha Lord for that! Tents, no all night armed guards and rigid in their tents at night with lions and hyenas circling, and the guides just laughingly saying, 'It's okay! The lights put them off.'

8:36 pm

Jacula

A heavy weight to monkey, TO!

8:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

scary thought...they will be fine.

8:39 pm

Jacula

Well, son talking to me on his Dad's mobile earlier today (Friday) so yesterday.. said, 'Well, I've walked to our perimeter now; a mown edge and then the long grass you can hardly see even lions in begins. Guess I'd better not go any further!' 'EEK! |NO! I told him. I don't want the last words I hear from my only son to be the sound of him screaming as a lion takes him'.

8:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

what a fab adventure...jacs YOU are the only one who won't survive it if you don't stop worrying

8:40 pm

Jacula

'You've got me worried now!' I told him. 'YOU'RE WORRIED?' said he. 'How do you think I feel here in a tent?' LOL

8:40 pm

Jacula

TO- I'm teasing. I'd love that adventure some day.

8:41 pm

Jacula

But... when it's your offspring... well... motherly panic IS allowed.

8:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am so bored here...retail therapyis getting more and more costly. today it was nearly furniture

8:42 pm

GreyWoulf

8:43 pm

GreyWoulf

you were literally across the street from me! That's my apt complex

8:43 pm

Jacula

Son said that 'the females' (his sister, Dad's new wife and her 2 daughters.... not allowed to call any of those 'steps') scream like hell if a bug enters their tent whereas he and his Dad 'go rigid' when they hear heavy animals prowling around outside... i.e. 3 hyenas and a lion's roar right outside.

8:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

somehow i thought you were near redners....lol small world!

8:45 pm

GreyWoulf

too true

8:45 pm

Jacula

Oh well, never mind, TO. I was trying to distract you. I obviously didn't succeed.

8:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

8:52 pm

Jacula

TO's broken the chat! It's gone all wide now!

8:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

8:53 pm

Jacula

no6, wolfie, is to let someone know something in an offical fashion.

8:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

woulf i'll let you know ; )

8:53 pm

GreyWoulf

I am going to have to move from this apt pretty soon -- the kids are getting to old to share a room, so this two bedroom apt is getting too small to contain us

8:54 pm

Jacula

No, TO, it was you wot dun it saying 'EW!'

8:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

so where have you looked?

8:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

well unfortunately, despite nut's waring, i listened yesteday. she was right. i shouldn't have!

8:56 pm

GreyWoulf

nowhere yet -- but the next place we move has to be either a mother/daughter type or else have an apartment for Kirstens mom to live in -- so we will be pretty much limited to whatever we can find

8:56 pm

GreyWoulf

thanks, Jac

8:57 pm

Jacula

The staff at the 'Bum' clinic at QEH would LOVE that video, TO. I've saved it for them. I'll give 'em the link when my next colonoscopy's due... if one of the nurses, who is a friend, doesn't turn up here first.

Jac -- I feel your pain... at least the snoring aspect -- I once had to share a hotel room with a friend of mine who had sleep apnea -- even though we were on opposite sides of the room he almost shook me out of my bed!

Wolfie - I tried both kids' rooms, since both are away in Africa at present and downstairs with doors closed. I could still hear him. In the end I got thaty mad and desperate that I resorted to violence and almost rolled him out of bed! Silence reigned for a while, until the next night sweat hit me. I got more sleep after 5am, when he went off to work, as I told him later, but still got woken on the hour every bl**dy hour by the night sweats. My Mum's been round today with her 'cure'. I've taken it and do have to say, though I've not ventured up to bed yet, I've not had a hot flush(flash) either since! Fingers crossed that Mum's cracked it!

i can think of a better one... particularly as i'm not positive that i'm correct about that spelling

9:58 pm

BGL

Thanks!

9:58 pm

IT

9:58 pm

It worked (sorry a little "enter" happy)

9:58 pm

9:58 pm

tragicstud

natasa, did that help?

9:59 pm

natasa

nope

10:00 pm

tragicstud

where are you from natasa?

10:00 pm

natasa

Adelaide

10:00 pm

hurshy

i have a theory that rich women and poor women are either hugely fat or very thin, and only middle class women are moderately fat.

10:00 pm

tragicstud

hurshy - i have some theory to back that up actually

10:01 pm

tragicstud

natasa we+ online talking minus the a

10:01 pm

hurshy

because if you're rich, you are either one of those people obsessed with eating right and exercise or you can afford to eat really rich foods

10:01 pm

BGL

WHere did that random thought come from, hurshy? :)

10:01 pm

natasa

hurshy me?

10:02 pm

hurshy

and if you're poor you either eat lots of unhealthy but cheap foods, or you're SO poor that you can't eat enough.

10:02 pm

hurshy

only a middle class (ok, maybe lower-middle) woman would be moderately overweight and squeeze into a pair of jeans two sizes too small.

10:03 pm

natasa

hurshy are you talking bout me?

10:03 pm

hurshy

natasa, why on earth would i be talking about you? i have no idea if you are rich, poor, fat, thin, etc.

10:03 pm

tragicstud

there's also a lot of shame about being wealthy in a world that has so little in general -- though it tends to be subconscious... but the shame can make gluttony then shame their allowing it (bulimia) or they can shame all wants and not take anything in (anorexia)

10:04 pm

BGL

Hursh, have you been imbibing tonight? ;) (If so, I want some!)

10:04 pm

tragicstud

lots of eating disorders in the upper classes

10:04 pm

natasa

k

10:04 pm

hurshy

no BGL, i don't drink. just musing.

10:04 pm

Ping

hi again

10:04 pm

bummer

Sounds like too much generalizing going on and that can be dangerous

10:05 pm

tragicstud

hi ping

10:05 pm

BGL

Are there really more eating disorders, or do we hear about them more and/or they have the funds to seek treatment?

10:05 pm

tragicstud

yeah - is a good question. the statistics are way skewed

10:05 pm

Ping

hi stud

10:06 pm

Ping

hey hurshy

10:06 pm

hurshy

it's only a hypothesis bummer. it would be cool to study and see if there is any correlation or not.

10:06 pm

tragicstud

bummer, i study this...

10:06 pm

BGL

Hi, ping

10:06 pm

hurshy

and i specialize in humourous generalizations.

10:07 pm

Ping

hi BGL

10:07 pm

Ping

lol hurshy

10:07 pm

tragicstud

from what the stats say though bgl, it seems that ed's have trickled down societally, but that it - cross-culturally began in the wealthy classes

10:08 pm

tragicstud

as far back as the 1800s

10:08 pm

Ping

interesting, stud

10:09 pm

hurshy

i think i get it from my dad. he's the one who taught me about the correlation between traffic problems and old men in hats. you know, the baseball caps with the totally un-curved brims.

10:09 pm

hurshy

occasionally a fishing hat.

10:09 pm

tragicstud

hurshy - ariel looks like she's working on generalizations

10:09 pm

BGL

My hypothesis - is it because the wealthy have the time to really obsess over their looks and other's perceptions while others are just trying to make ends meet?

10:09 pm

hurshy

ariel, though, made the wrong ones. silly girl thought being human was better than being mermaid. she should have listened to sebastian.

10:10 pm

tragicstud

its true

10:10 pm

tragicstud

bgl - i have some great papers and articles about this if you're ever interested

10:11 pm

tragicstud

well, not just bgl :) anyone is welcome to it all

10:11 pm

hurshy

oh, tragicstud, i just noticed, you went pro!

10:11 pm

tragicstud

indeed i did

10:11 pm

Miss ABS

Hello All :D Long time no see.

10:11 pm

tragicstud

and got my first fireworks today :)

10:12 pm

hurshy

do fleas reproduce asexually?

10:12 pm

BGL

I spent 12 years in youth minsitry working for churches and organizations in vastly different socio-economic areas. And in general, the wealthier girls were much more concerned about their looks...

10:12 pm

BGL

Awesome, tragicstud! (on your fireworks, that is)

10:13 pm

tragicstud

oh hershy i'm gonna have a crush on you if you keep being so random and curious...

well you are welcome to have a crush on me, but i like men.

10:14 pm

hurshy

do i trust a site called "insecta-inspecta"?

10:14 pm

Ping

young men, as i recall

10:14 pm

Ping

lol

10:14 pm

tragicstud

:) i'm safe... my crushes are generally patonic

10:15 pm

tragicstud

platonic that is

10:15 pm

Ping

are you in grad school, stud?

10:16 pm

hurshy

well, i like men who are around.

10:16 pm

BGL

Any help with the last 2 cy5/16 words?

10:16 pm

hurshy

and unfortunately, there aren't many right now.

10:16 pm

tragicstud

just graduated, and am currently deciding where to apply next

10:16 pm

Ping

i don't have it, bgl

10:16 pm

hurshy

but, if there are female fleas, and they lay eggs, then it seems to me that they do NOT reproduce asexually.

10:17 pm

Ping

applying to another grad school? for a job?

10:17 pm

tragicstud

**r*** debergerac (or whatever his name was)

10:17 pm

tragicstud

another grad school

10:17 pm

tragicstud

i got my masters, am going for my phd

10:17 pm

hurshy

and therefore, the frontline commercial claiming that ONE flea can lead to thousands is incorrect. TWO fleas, yes, but ONE, no.

10:17 pm

BGL

Thanks.

10:18 pm

Ping

cool

10:18 pm

Miss ABS

sorry BGL I don't have them either.

10:18 pm

tragicstud

10:20 pm

tragicstud

10:21 pm

hurshy

oh, let me see, i was... i was... i think i was here.

10:21 pm

Ping

lol hurshy

10:21 pm

BGL

Okay, I had the plural and was assuming it was the 1st 5/16. So, I'm missing the first one.

10:21 pm

hurshy

is it disturbing that i can't remember what i was doing yesterday?

10:22 pm

Ping

not to me

10:22 pm

Ping

is it to you?

10:22 pm

bummer

bgl - add the round vowel to the cy4

10:22 pm

tragicstud

nope - youre missing the last

10:23 pm

BGL

I have the round end and the plural. I'm so confused and my cats walking on the keyboard while licking my arm!

10:23 pm

tragicstud

ok - then it is my last clue bgl

10:24 pm

hurshy

i call my cat cinder "baby" and so i made her dance with me for "shake it up baby now" and she did not like it so much.

10:24 pm

hurshy

she said mrow. repeatedly.

10:24 pm

tragicstud

cy + ring ***e on a cell

BGL

Yay! Finally. Wow! I was confused. Ok, only 29 to go.

10:34 pm

tragicstud

10:35 pm

hurshy

well if it did they wouldn't stay in that position

10:35 pm

hurshy

10:36 pm

tragicstud

that's not true - there's a lot of inverted yoga positions

10:36 pm

tragicstud

i've stayed quite comfortably upside-down for a long time

10:36 pm

tragicstud

it's good for digestion and anxiety actually

10:37 pm

hurshy

yeah but people do all sorts of stuff. cats are more... if i feel uncomfortable after two seconds, it is an unacceptable state of affairs.
