ca7

12:19 am

KnightTime

12:19 am

FranMag

hi ata!

12:19 am

dcseain

several authors i'm acquainted with read copiously.

12:19 am

KnightTime

give you an answer later

12:19 am

pigeonman

I hate vowels

12:19 am

FranMag

(what an entrance) :-)

12:19 am

licketySplitAUS

Atalante - That's exactly what I was hoping someone would say - and yes I agree totally.

12:19 am

Atalante

*grins*

12:20 am

FranMag

stephen king (one of my favorites) has read harry potter, even reviewed it for a magazine.

12:20 am

Atalante

all my fvaourite authors - proper authors - read copiously

12:20 am

justafreep

I don't know any author who says "don't read"

12:21 am

licketySplitAUS

Art is to be appreciated in the creation, but true appreciation is in touching others

12:21 am

frogtaco

Hi All! Stephen King's _On Writing_ is a fascinating read. He's a voracious reader and an undeniably prolific writer. Really, a great memoir.

12:21 am

KnightTime

i still don't understand why icer is not a word

12:21 am

FranMag

hey frog!

12:21 am

KnightTime

i keep my wine cool in one

12:21 am

licketySplitAUS

(now if only I could write or speak english)

12:21 am

Hugabugs

he7

12:21 am

DRBERNABO

half way point, but 4.5 average. All up hill from here.

12:21 am

licketySplitAUS

frogtaco - thanks for that - I'll look out for it

12:22 am

frogtaco

Hey Fran!

12:23 am

frogtaco

Sure thing. It's quite entertaining. Saw a quote from SK yesterday I think that probably made me think of his book tonight. Something like, "Any word you have to look up in a thesaurus is the wrong word. There is no exception to this rule."

12:24 am

Hugabugs

th7 x 3

12:26 am

licketySplitAUS

So if I wanted to comment about how entertaining you are right now, I'll make something up - like ' frogtaco is being quite babbelicious ?

12:26 am

frogtaco

As long as you didn't look that up, it's fine. :)

12:27 am

licketySplitAUS

well making it up is different from looking it up I suppose. Who really uses thesaurus's anyway. I suppose if you are stuck.

12:28 am

frogtaco

Maybe if spellcheck gives you the wrong word. :)

12:28 am

KnightTime

synoninium = thesaurus word for thesaurs

12:29 am

Atalante

what a hideous word!

12:30 am

justafreep

and ugly. and ungainly. and unattractive. and....

12:31 am

licketySplitAUS

Knight - I can't find that word in any dictionary. What language?

12:31 am

KnightTime

i may have mispelled it

12:32 am

licketySplitAUS

Hhaaaaa - looks like you need a dictionary

12:33 am

Atalante

looool

12:33 am

jillibus

synonymium?

12:33 am

KnightTime

i may be wrong - very possible

12:34 am

KnightTime

could have been a pseudo-neologism

12:34 am

licketySplitAUS

synonymousness - the semantic relation that holds between two words that can (in a given context) express the same meaning

12:35 am

jillibus

oo -- don't show that to enable!

12:35 am

FranMag

if that shows up in a grid, i'm quitting

12:35 am

jesdraggon

heheh. i love it

12:35 am

DR1965

me too Fran

12:35 am

licketySplitAUS

Synonymicon - dictionary of synonyms

12:35 am

licketySplitAUS

Now - that's just stupid

12:36 am

KnightTime

that's it lickety

12:36 am

Atalante

whats a synonym for a synonymicon?

12:36 am

KnightTime

thesaurus

12:36 am

Atalante

LOL

12:38 am

Erda

How about syngenesophobia?

12:38 am

KnightTime

that would be a great word in a grid

12:38 am

KnightTime

lots of points

12:38 am

frogtaco

If you find "thesaurus" while looking up "synonymicon" then you have to throw out the whole book. :)

12:39 am

FranMag

erda, that word scares me

12:39 am

Erda

It means fear of relatives; found it in Mrs. Byrne's dictionary

12:40 am

licketySplitAUS

hehehehe - frog

12:40 am

Erda

...and Mrs. Byrne is Jascha Heifetz's daughter

12:40 am

GroovyKiwi

$1 kiwi gets about 68c US at the moment

GroovyKiwi

so that would be about 6.8 mil US lol

1:38 am

dcseain

that's less than many houses sell for in the town north of mine here, so comparatively, it's a bargain.

1:38 am

FranMag

just a little bit over my budget kiwi, maybe if the price comes down. :-)

1:38 am

FranMag

true dc, for a whole ski field it sounds like a great deal.

1:39 am

herinfernallady

Im just looking at new tech toys. Sprite you have a lovely speaking voice

2:28 am

sprite

I am so happy you enjoy it :)
It was a bit scary, knowing I would not be able to disguise the dutch accent on a recording :)

2:29 am

o-o

why would you want to?

2:30 am

sprite

errrr.... good question... to make it as perfect as possible, I guess. Not have some accent distract from the text. Or a little afraid people might find it irritating.

2:32 am

MVA

but an accent or dialect is part of you!

2:32 am

herinfernallady

I have 2 Th 7 32 with the reverse end what am i missing please. Sprite i loved the accent

2:33 am

sprite

I am truly happy with how the first babble bookcast is being received :)

herinfernallady

DC i had an american southern dinner the other night complete with Chef Williams Southern Bread pudding so very yummy

2:36 am

sprite

well, maybe it was just my usual fear of becoming visible and vulnerable, in a way. But it was gr5 fun doing it, mrP was so wonderful and we laughed so much.

2:36 am

dcseain

i grew up with an intersection of Southern and Hungarian cooking, as mom's family is from hungary, and the neighbors wer from the south.

8:09 am

NonoNanette

8:09 am

Mom

I was watching it while I had breakfast.

8:09 am

tragicstud

8:09 am

herinfernallady

8:09 am

tragicstud

yes please nono

8:09 am

tragicstud

thank you

8:10 am

hurshy

i thought that with all the changes in my life that i finally was happy and have been weaning off my anti-d. but this week i feel... i dunno... and i'm wondering if i should stay on it after all. how do you decide if you still need it?

8:10 am

EspritdJean

I like dunkin dognuts

8:10 am

NonoNanette

ok <passing remote over

8:10 am

natasa

Im off babblers...go make some dances up with sisters just to shut her up..lol

8:10 am

72 Temple Owl

hurshy: i don't. i take it. period.

8:10 am

EspritdJean

if you feel crappy you still need it

8:10 am

Mom

bye bye Natasa

8:10 am

tragicstud

hursh - you want a therapist perspective?

8:11 am

NonoNanette

have fun Nat

8:11 am

Karys

what does your physcian say Hurshy ?

8:11 am

Karys

good idea nat !

8:11 am

natasa

yehh

8:11 am

hurshy

well my therapist had originally told me that for some people it changes their brain chemistry and then they don't need it anymore (when i first got on it).

8:11 am

tragicstud

your therapist or your psychiatrist

8:12 am

natasa

bye

8:12 am

Karys

and what does he/she say latterly ?

8:12 am

hurshy

psychologist.

8:12 am

herinfernallady

Hurshy did you just stop 'cold turkey' or drop the dose?

8:12 am

hurshy

well i moved, karys, so i don't see him anymore.

8:12 am

hydra

How long have you been on it, Hurshy?

8:12 am

tragicstud

so not the prescriber

8:12 am

hurshy

i have been dropping the dose gradually. i was on it for a couple of years.

8:12 am

Mom

Need to go andget busy. Have a good day everyone. {{Hugs for Hurshy}}}

8:12 am

Karys

aah... do you think you should get some professional advice now ?

8:13 am

Karys

bye Mom

8:13 am

hurshy

no and my prescriber has changed too, since i moved. my lady that i had before i really liked and my new lady seems ok but i don't feel as comfortable with her.

8:13 am

Mom

bye Karys :)

8:13 am

herinfernallady

Ok thats a good think 'cold turkey' bad. I think you should talk to a trusting G.P. person that issued the meds.

8:13 am

72 Temple Owl

later natasa

8:13 am

hydra

That is probably adding to your tension and anxiety load, Hurshy.

8:14 am

72 Temple Owl

and may i get some advise too?

8:14 am

Karys

I think you should talk to someone too Hurshy, seems it's been sometime

8:14 am

hurshy

but i'm trying to figure out if this week had circumstances that were different, or if it is the meds.

8:15 am

hurshy

what do you need TO?

8:15 am

Karys

you'll just wind yourself up even more that way Hrush

8:15 am

72 Temple Owl

ok i must go hang laundry bbl

8:15 am

herinfernallady

I am not a professional Hurshy. I dont know what to say to you. If it helps you right a diary of what you did - something simple like - got up -felt good.etc

8:15 am

Karys

wsa that the advice you wanted Temple ?

8:15 am

hydra

More likely the circumstances. Temple, how can we help you? Infernal, damn good idea.

8:15 am

tragicstud

hursh - i can tell you what i tell my clients, but right - you should find a psych that you trust.. . but, anxiety meds can help you to learn how to deal with the anxiety... is why you can go off them eventually - if you can deal with the anxiety in a way that the exclaimation point on the end of your anxiety leaves

8:16 am

hurshy

oh i am still taking my anxiety one. it's my anti-depressant that i'm debating.

8:16 am

tragicstud

ahh - do you mind sharing which it is?

8:17 am

hurshy

zoloft

8:17 am

tragicstud

is the one you went off of?

8:17 am

Karys

if you're debating, would this not indicate that you should stay where you are ?

8:17 am

herinfernallady

Hurshy what ever you do decide dont get down the path of no return and spiral into a black hole. Its easier to dust off your bruised knees now than it is to dig your way out of the hole later

8:17 am

hydra

If they work in tandem and you phase one out, it could have some chemical reactions, perhaps.

8:17 am

hurshy

i didn't go totally off yet, tragic. i've still been taking 50 mg like every 2 or 3 days.

8:18 am

herinfernallady

Hurshy we luvs you and hugs.

8:18 am

hurshy

it's just that weaning off, i get lightheaded and stuff and that's when i take half a pill. if i go all the way back on, i'm going to have to go through that again later.

8:19 am

tragicstud

yeah- the way you're suppossed to wean is not some days yes some days no

8:19 am

tragicstud

that's why you're getting the reactions

8:19 am

Karys

why don't you just carry on weaning as you are now for a while longer ?

8:19 am

tragicstud

if you go back on, and then come off the way you're supossed too it wouldn't happen that way

8:20 am

hurshy

my prescribed dose is 100

8:20 am

hurshy

if i wean off later how do i do it?

8:20 am

tragicstud

you wean up to that, and wean down from that...

8:21 am

tragicstud

you cut doses in half every few days... 4 or 5 days is how i like my cliets to do it

8:21 am

tragicstud

taking it every day

8:21 am

hurshy

well i also am not sure if the lightheadedness was partially iron deficiency?

8:21 am

Merk

it 8 clue please

8:21 am

tragicstud

but again, i try to get them to talk to their shrink too... who allows it to happen quicker

8:21 am

hurshy

i have sort of unintentionally become mainly vegetarian.

8:22 am

tragicstud

have you looked at your eyelid for the iron?

8:22 am

hurshy

no, what do you look for?

8:22 am

o-o

the question is whether events have caused you to feel bad or if you need the zoloft ... do a george bush and stay course ... if you continue to feel out of sorts, resume the prescribed dosage .. if you feel better you need the zoloft ...

8:23 am

hurshy

there haven't been any bad events, there just haven't been enough interesting ones.

8:23 am

tragicstud

pull the bottom lid out, and look at the lip of the lid - like the other end of where your eyelashes are

8:23 am

tragicstud

it should be pink-red

8:23 am

tragicstud

if it's pale it could be iron

8:24 am

tragicstud

what anxiety med are you on?

8:24 am

tragicstud

is it a take when needed?

8:24 am

hurshy

klonopin

8:24 am

o-o

okay, your words8:14 amhurshy

but i'm trying to figure out if this week had circumstances that were different, or if it is the meds.

8:25 am

hurshy

well i went on the klonopin to help me sleep. and it turned out to help a lot with anxiety.

8:25 am

hurshy

i know brabble, and i think i am leaning toward the latter. :)

8:25 am

KristineNas

that's what I take for my social anxiety hursh it works great for panic attacks !

8:25 am

o-o

I think you need the zoloft

8:25 am

hurshy

i take the klonopin every night and it is perfect. see that one it just totally works.

8:25 am

tragicstud

yeah... i do too...

8:25 am

herinfernallady

Hi Kris and im going to sit on the fence to watch as i have no idea what to say other than hugs

8:26 am

KristineNas

hi herin

8:26 am

tragicstud

but you should see a doc, because the "best way" to do it is to wean back on them too

8:26 am

hurshy

whereas the zoloft, it only brought me from really depressed to mildly depressed, sometimes neutral, and only in the last couple of weeks have i felt happy, but then i lost it.

8:26 am

tragicstud

yeah- when you're happy on meds, they're working :)

8:27 am

tragicstud

a ot of people go off them when they feel happy - but it's counter-intuitive to do so

8:27 am

tragicstud

meds are only supossed to take the exclamation point off of the end of the mood

8:27 am

hurshy

but is it supposed to have taken a couple of years for the happiness to kick in? that's why i thought i was not happy bc of the med.

8:28 am

tragicstud

happy is not something that can be gotten from meds.

8:28 am

tragicstud

not as miserable is

8:28 am

72 Temple Owl

hursh they are not a magic bullet. if the unhappiness is caused by circumstances instead of chemistry

8:28 am

KristineNas

and if i could add my 2 cents , i was taking 15 pills a day , i was like a zombie for about 8 months literally slept constantly, <not good when you have kids > and i went off all of them cold turkey ; which was stoopid , i could have had a seizure , but i went through bad withdrawal bad for about a month and nnow i only take my clonopin when i'm going somewhere where i think i will be bothered , i take it about once every six months , and havent touched the other pills in about 4 months , i am learning to see the signs of a breakdown coming and i cope

8:28 am

hurshy

well that is why i thought if i had it and i went OFF the meds i would not LOSE it.

8:28 am

KristineNas

and theres my story lol

8:28 am

tragicstud

happy is something that happens on top of med not cause of

8:29 am

hurshy

but maybe i need meds to be more neutral and only on top of that can add happy?

8:29 am

tragicstud

i'm gonna think of an analogy

8:29 am

tragicstud

give me a sec

8:29 am

tragicstud

is what i'm going for hursh

8:30 am

hurshy

they are perhaps, necessary but not sufficient

8:30 am

tragicstud

with or without meds you'll have ups and downs

8:30 am

tragicstud

cause you're human

8:31 am

hurshy

the last couple days i've gone back to feeling like crying for no reason really other than hopelessness

8:31 am

tragicstud

if neds bring you closer to neutral generally, then the meds are helpful in getting you to happy - cause you're starting from a different pace

8:31 am

hurshy

i have fought it off but don't want it to get worse to where i can't.

8:31 am

tragicstud

yeah- you need your meds sweetie

8:31 am

KristineNas

stay on the meds full dose hursh ! you're not ready

8:31 am

tragicstud

and you might be on the wrong one

8:31 am

tragicstud

i'd talk to a therapist

8:32 am

hydra

(((((((hurshy)))))))

8:32 am

tragicstud

where do you live again?

8:32 am

hydra

stud may be right. You could be on the wrong one.

8:32 am

hurshy

well eliot, the trouble is, the first one i tried, lexapro, i had a real bad reaction to. zoloft is ok so i didn't want to switch again and risk another bad reaction.

8:33 am

tragicstud

yeah- but there are some that have a lot fewer bad reactions

8:33 am

hurshy

i live in RI. i lived in western CT when i went on all these meds. i moved here in march, separating from my husband.

8:33 am

tragicstud

celexa is a cleaner version of lexapro, wellbutrin has side effects of better orgasms :)

8:34 am

hurshy

well eliot, that is part of my problem - no sex life. lol

8:34 am

hydra

You've had a tough time and a lot of upheavals, so don't feel bad about being depressed, hurshy.

8:34 am

tragicstud

you gotta be super open and communicative with your shrink - it can take a long time to find the right one

8:34 am

hurshy

it's ironic, i'm finally at a place where i can have sex without feeling guilty and now i haven't got anyone i want to have sex with (who lives nearby and also wants to have sex with me, that is).

8:35 am

tragicstud

yeah- amen to that

8:35 am

tragicstud

sucks, right?

8:35 am

hurshy

YES

8:35 am

tragicstud

you can fix that yourself though... but that's another conversation

8:36 am

tragicstud

5 months after a breakup, just generally not a good time to stop meds :)

8:36 am

hurshy

i cannot fix that myself, it's so not the same. it's all about the connection.

8:36 am

hurshy

yeah, i guess (about the meds).

8:36 am

hurshy

i'm just disappointed, i thought, go me, i can be happy!

8:36 am

tragicstud

i can see who i know out there that you'd like better

8:37 am

tragicstud

and you can! even if it involves meds

8:37 am

tragicstud

it's like 'go me i can breathe!' on a day when you have a cold but took sudafed

8:37 am

hurshy

my new doctor seems fine but the practice is SO busy

8:38 am

tragicstud

you go to a doctor doctor? or a psychiatrist

8:38 am

hurshy

my old place i would go in and there was this huge waiting room and usually nobody in it, maybe 2 tops, and they would see me within like 2 minutes of my arrival.

8:38 am

hurshy

well see, i had been seeing psychologist for about 3 years, had been on the meds for a while, and my prescriber was a physicians assistant, very sweet and sympathetic.

8:39 am

o-o

zoloft is targeted to help maintain serotonin levels ... a chemical problem ... why go off a medication that has helped you? Maybe you need a higher dose.... if it is side effects you want to get rid of, maybe try a different med. talk to your psychologist about the options you have .. stopping a med that helps symply because you were told your brain may adjust is not wise if the med is helping

8:39 am

hurshy

when i moved here, well, i actually was doing a lot better anyway, getting away from that situation, so i didn't feel the need for anything but a doctor to keep prescribing the meds.

8:40 am

hurshy

and i'm not making very much money so i can't really afford even the copays to see a psych person now.

8:40 am

tragicstud

the issue is that internal medicine docs and ent docs don't know as much about psychotropics...

8:40 am

tragicstud

hmmm

8:41 am

herinfernallady

I think that the social security system have written me off as too mental to work but not mental enough for benefits which would pay for a private psyc

8:41 am

hurshy

right the PA that i had was prescribing on my psychologists advice and talking to me some, and i had told them they could talk about me, don't know how much they did.

8:41 am

tragicstud

hursh, i don't know that that needs to mean you can't go to a psychiatrist. there's probably somewhere there that you can go for near free... it's just a matter of finding it - wherein ri are you?

8:41 am

tragicstud

can you call the old PA?

8:42 am

hurshy

what would i say to her exactly?

8:42 am

tragicstud

exactly what's going on (lol lady)

8:42 am

hurshy

she has a new baby, went on maternity leave just before i left, i don't want to bother her...

8:42 am

tragicstud

and ask what she thinks you should do...

8:43 am

tragicstud

oooh - ok sweetie, you should see a therapist too :) you're in pain - it's a phone call...

8:43 am

tragicstud

she can answer a phone call with a baby

8:43 am

hurshy

i'm not too bad, i think i can just try weaning back on and i'll be fine.

8:43 am

lideola

what many patients have been doing is going to their prescribing physician and asking them to prescribe a dose that is double what they usually take, then cutting the pill in half. That way you only pay about a 1/4 more for the prescription but have double the amount of pills to take. However, not all pills can be cut in half. Its a real cost saver in this crazy health care cost market.

8:44 am

tragicstud

oh woman.... you're killin me... you're lucky i'm not closer or i'd bop you on the head :)

8:44 am

hurshy

that is pretty stupid, lideola, that things work that way.

8:45 am

lideola

well, its better than not paying the gas bill because you have to pay for meds

8:45 am

hurshy

what, if i was doing well until i started weaning off, it stands to reason i can be doing well again if i wean back on, doesn't it?

8:45 am

hurshy

i didn't mean the people doing it were stupid, i meant the SYSTEM was stupid :)

8:45 am

tragicstud

i don't think she was saying you were stupid lid, i think she's saying that the system is stupid

8:45 am

herinfernallady

And this is why i love the Australian medical system AT times

8:45 am

NonoNanette

lideola, my insurance company even advises to do that very thing

8:46 am

lideola

yes, its a difficult system that is getting more and more difficult- trust me, I am a reimbursement specialist for a HUGE ER staffing/billing ocmpany

8:46 am

tragicstud

yes it does hursh...

8:46 am

hurshy

then why bop me on my poor little head?

8:47 am

tragicstud

well lady - not only good medical, but you all also sound really cool when you talk to one another

8:47 am

EspritdJean

the system IS stupid.....mine won't pay for malaria prevention meds when I go to south america, but it willfully cover me if I get malaria

8:47 am

EspritdJean

will...fully not willfully lol

8:47 am

tragicstud

:) because of the eeyore voice i'm hearing you talking in i think

8:47 am

hurshy

lol eliot

8:47 am

herinfernallady

I just read this article here about that

8:48 am

tragicstud

and because you really should be checking in with a doc.

8:48 am

herinfernallady

Most of us AUssies are fairly laid back

8:48 am

NonoNanette

time for a break.... bbl

8:48 am

tragicstud

i work at an lgbt health agency who can't get the hiv positive employees health coverage because insurance companies won't accept them

8:49 am

hurshy

almost seems like it would be better not to come up with treatments than to tantalize people with their existence and not provide them.

8:50 am

herinfernallady

and that sucks alot. Its not like HIV drugs are expensive

8:50 am

tragicstud

8:51 am

hurshy

eliot has been stunned into silence

8:51 am

tragicstud

heh

8:51 am

tragicstud

nope, just had to move the laptop on my hip cause of the pups

8:52 am

tragicstud

how fun would a babblers retreat be

8:52 am

EspritdJean

that sounds like a discrimination suit in the making

8:52 am

tragicstud

you'd think jean

8:52 am

lideola

ah the pre-existing condition clause

8:53 am

tragicstud

anyhow hursh - wean back up, don't just go back on

8:53 am

tragicstud

yes lid

8:53 am

hurshy

yes indeed ma'am

8:53 am

tragicstud

every 2-3 days...

8:54 am

tragicstud

i bop you again

8:54 am

hurshy

it is annoying that you move and some things get better and then other things get worse. i SO miss my old doctor situation.

8:54 am

herinfernallady

I believe that our mental health system was the reason my friend died. There was no where for him to go with his mental health. The reason - he was gay and it wasnt safe for him in the mens section. Im not saying that being different is an illness im saying his head was broken to start with and no one helped him

8:54 am

tragicstud

yeah

8:55 am

hurshy

but now i work full time and have to take time out of work to see anybody, so i can't go much anyway.

8:55 am

hurshy

and this woman i found was like the only female doc i could find near work, and i refuse to see a man.

8:55 am

herinfernallady

Hurshy could you see your old doc? I travel up to 3 hrs to see mine

8:55 am

tragicstud

its funny, i tell my clients that if they want to be happy because of therapy they need to see a different therapist.

8:55 am

tragicstud

cause of just that. ups and down concurrently are the way life is... and it sucks

8:55 am

Tiny

Hi everyone

8:56 am

herinfernallady

Hi tiny

8:56 am

tragicstud

hi tiny

8:56 am

tragicstud

speaking of ups and downs... i have to go to a damn bridal shower.... i don't wanna i don't wanna!

8:57 am

hurshy

so don't!

8:57 am

herinfernallady

HA HA tragic thats funny

8:57 am

tragicstud

"why's that boy at a bridal shower?"

8:57 am

tragicstud

and tomorrow... "why's that boy a bridesmaid?"

8:57 am

herinfernallady

Put on a sexy man suit and well freak them out :)

8:57 am

tragicstud

i'm wearing a suit for the wedding

8:57 am

Tiny

8:57 am

tragicstud

tragicstud

8:58 am

hurshy

lol

8:58 am

Tiny

8:58 am

lideola

8:58 am

hurshy

8:59 am

Tiny

heaps

8:59 am

tragicstud

and was like 'laur, if i wear a dress, no one will be looking at you all day... they'll be wondering why you put a boy in a dress

8:59 am

herinfernallady

Tragic i was wearing my male friends clothes (shirt vest long Lestat jacket) my pants and i got hit on by a guy at the glbt mardi gra. Yes i looked at this guy like ''yes can i help you '

8:59 am

o-o

there is some irony about not seeing a male professinal but at least listening to male babblers

8:59 am

tragicstud

lo- lady, i'm glad you're far away - i'd have such a crush if we were closer

9:00 am

hurshy

brabble - i had a male psychologist

9:00 am

tragicstud

i'm a girl :)

9:00 am

Tiny

I think I am going to back out of this conversation and come back later I am so confused

9:00 am

hurshy

i just refuse to see a male in any situation where any state of undress might be requested.

9:00 am

herinfernallady

ha ha ha www.photobucket.com search for herdarkmistress.

9:00 am

tragicstud

lol tiny...

9:00 am

tragicstud

i'm a girl that looks like a boy

9:00 am

hurshy

i have no problem with male advice, just men i don't know seeing me naked.

9:00 am

tragicstud

is all you've missed

9:01 am

o-o

I am done.. self-medication is inadvisable ... talk to a psychiatrist

9:01 am

herinfernallady

Hurshy cause thats a laughing matter in its self

9:01 am

herinfernallady

I am flattered Tragic but i am taken

9:02 am

EspritdJean

ok tragic, I see you are already on to the next one!

9:02 am

tragicstud

9:02 am

tragicstud

:)

9:02 am

tragicstud

nah- she was first jean

9:02 am

tragicstud

though if she'd proposed she'd have meant it

9:02 am

tragicstud

*wipes away tear*

9:02 am

EspritdJean

ouch

9:03 am

hurshy

it's not self-medication, it was prescribed under the right circumstances, it was just inadvisable for me to try to wean off, and i'm sorry i brought it up.

9:03 am

tragicstud

i know, it did hurt

9:03 am

tragicstud

;)

9:03 am

tragicstud

i'm not hursh - you got the answer you needed!

9:03 am

EspritdJean

a periwinkle suit you say?

9:04 am

o-o

I did not mean to offend you.

9:04 am

tragicstud

***puts up a force field around hurshy to protect her from things that unintentionally hurt her feelings***

9:04 am

tragicstud

indeed jean

9:04 am

hurshy

it's ok brabble, really, i know you didn't.

9:04 am

tragicstud

and i have to bind... the "ladies" don't fit properly in the shirt

9:04 am

EspritdJean

um.......gackkkkkkkkkk

9:05 am

tragicstud

lol, i'm not familiar with that term :)

9:05 am

EspritdJean

it's self explanatory

9:05 am

hurshy

eliot, didn't they have suits that are cut for a female?

9:05 am

tragicstud

hursh, i'm playing impishly around you in my mind to make you laugh

9:05 am

tragicstud

not in periwinkle

9:06 am

tragicstud

lmao

9:06 am

tragicstud

fuckin periwinkle

9:06 am

tragicstud

tragicstud

9:06 am

tragicstud

yeah- i mean... ugh.

9:07 am

tragicstud

i love her, i'll do what she wants me to

9:07 am

EspritdJean

I don't think periwinkle was EVER in style

9:07 am

tragicstud

it's just a weekend

9:07 am

herinfernallady

can someone tell me why i just looked at my photobucket account pic

9:07 am

tragicstud

it's lovely on hydrangia, but otherwise, not so much

9:07 am

hurshy

this is SO confusing, what with there being a babbler named periwinkle.

9:08 am

tragicstud

because you told me to ook at it and wanted to know what i was seeing

9:08 am

tragicstud

lol... i will not be wearing the babbler hursh. does that clear things up? :)

9:08 am

EspritdJean

I thought maybe it was periwinkle's wedding

9:08 am

herinfernallady

yep. The top boy is my b/f the last boy at the bottom is my friend that died :(

9:08 am

EspritdJean

I, too, was mildly confused

9:08 am

hurshy

well it's not confusing so much as.... startling

9:08 am

tragicstud

nope

9:09 am

tragicstud

i just met you all

9:09 am

lideola

i thought you were wearing periwinkle to periwinkle's wedding, also

9:09 am

lideola

because that made sense in an odd way

9:09 am

tragicstud

if i were, i'd not have been making fun of it :)

9:09 am

lideola

periwinkle lives in this area, too, if i'm not mistaken

9:09 am

hurshy

i knew periwinkle the babbler was uninvolved, but was startled to hear the f word applied to periwinkle

9:10 am

tragicstud

her periwinkle icon is quite lovely... a place that periwinkle should be.. on a flower

9:10 am

tragicstud

ooh- sorry to have used that word at al actualy

9:10 am

tragicstud

sorry about that

9:10 am

herinfernallady

Tragic it could be worse it could be a fuschia pink 80s tulle number

9:10 am

hurshy

saying periwinkle a lot makes you realize what a funny word it is

9:10 am

tragicstud

in a suit :)

9:10 am

lideola

9:10 am

tragicstud

9:31 am

herinfernallady

hey temple!- i had the chicken steak, which was extremely good (as were the bacon fries). hey dorens- my credentials are a bit weak- we try a different place everytime we go to philly

9:32 am

Dorens

well, at least you go to philly for them.. that's good cedentials

9:33 am

abe79

lideola- we saw that throwdown show too, that's why we wanted to try it. dorens- as for ny, no good recommendations here!

9:33 am

Dorens

nonnie, just make sure that you slice it really, really thin

9:33 am

72 Temple Owl

dorens, while traveling for work we see cheesestaeks everywhere! it would be neat to try one in each city

9:34 am

lideola

and NO GREEN PEPPERS! everytime i see a "Philly Steak and Cheese Sandwich" outside the area, they always have green peppers... NO WAY

9:34 am

72 Temple Owl

mmmm bcaon fries - with cheese?

9:34 am

lideola

don't waste the calories, TO- you will be disappointed

9:34 am

72 Temple Owl

lideola how about a pepperoni steak?

9:34 am

abe79

and ranch dressing on the side. ...

9:35 am

abe79

lideola- i agree with you about the peppers

9:35 am

lideola

thats fine... pepperoni is cool if you want it

9:35 am

72 Temple Owl

9:35 am

lideola

9:35 am

72 Temple Owl

9:35 am

lideola

9:35 am

Dorens

9:36 am

72 Temple Owl

ok dorens, if you come here must try them out

9:36 am

abe79

it's dangerous. there must be about 5000 calories in those fries

9:36 am

Dorens

will get there one of these days......maybe the day you get all the other philly babblers together

9:36 am

herinfernallady

Do you know i even wrote to the american store (main store) no response

9:36 am

lideola

72 Temple Owl

9:39 am

abe79

they are fries, well done, with bacon (real, not bits) and mozz. cheese melted on top. side of ranch.

9:39 am

Dorens

pretty damn decadent

9:39 am

72 Temple Owl

no. needs whiz.

9:39 am

herinfernallady

You cant be serious that cheese wizz is used (ewww that stuff is feral)

9:40 am

Dorens

it really is herin. i think i used to ask for provolone

9:40 am

72 Temple Owl

well as we say here. fu**** a it is

9:40 am

abe79

it was definitely a one time thing. herin- whizz is actually good on cheesesteak, believe it or not. may also be good on the fries...

9:41 am

Dorens

don't know if i could hack it on fries. but mozzarella is another thing.

9:41 am

72 Temple Owl

brb dryer

9:41 am

herinfernallady

herinfernallady

then again i cant talk i like vegimite and peanut butter together in a sandwich

9:42 am

abe79

i'm very hungry now...

9:43 am

NonnieLight

My recipe is very similar to Pat's but I use butter (oh my) instead of oil to sear the meat and fry the onions and veggies. I slather
mayonnaise on the roll--no catsup and provolone tops ours.

9:43 am

herinfernallady

epps its nearly 1am here

9:43 am

abe79

Nonnie- do you mix the butter with oil or use straight butter?

9:44 am

NonnieLight

I think I know what we're having for dinner tonight.

9:44 am

Dorens

probably tastes good nonnie, i just don't see the mayo, but then again i don't see that on hamburgers either

9:44 am

herinfernallady

I like the turkey burgers that monkey told me about

9:44 am

NonnieLight

Straight butter and not too much...like a pat for each sandwich.

9:44 am

Dorens

I'm back. Hurshy dear, I know you know this, but grief, depression, letting go, residual anger, etc. takes a HUGE toll health and energy-wise, and can take a couple years after a separation / divorce before you feel perky again. Glad to hear you're on the meds and taking it as easy as you can (hugs). I'm back on the prescription anti-depressants since May, and they have made a difference :)

10:27 am

Judi

Ah, Picard did have a tighter than average sphincter.

10:50 am

Judi

Speaking of Star Trek, Hilarious Clinton borrowed a Trek quote the other day. She referred to Bush's policy in Iraq as "cowboy diplomacy".

10:51 am

cybernan

have to go for the list -- have no idea what I'm missing!

10:51 am

hurshy

i think cowboy diplomacy was a term before trek, wasn't it?

10:51 am

ch1212

Probably because OCD connects me to them! :D

Good one, Judi

10:51 am

Dorens

wasn't that a term back in reagan days?

10:51 am

pabtrek

hmmm, trying to picture Monk eating gagh, can't do it :D

10:52 am

Dorens

of course, startrek predates reagan

10:52 am

hetty

What a way to start the day! I find myself fascinated by hursh's taste in men.

10:53 am

hurshy

the question is, what kind of women are misanthropes attracted to?

10:53 am

Judi

Good point, Dorens. I'm not sure of the origin of cowboy diplomacy, but I do remember it from one of the Trek "cross-over" movies.

10:53 am

hurshy

i think the term goes back closer to cowboy days

10:54 am

Dorens

good question. i would imagine misanthropic women,, but it would be hard for them to discover the misanthropy in the woman before their natural antipathy sets in

10:54 am

cybernan

ac 6?

10:54 am

ch1212

Misanthropes like House are doubtless attracted to strong, capable women --- for the obvious reason: misanthropes are not capable of handling their own emotional landscape, much less someone else's.

10:54 am

hurshy

that is my trouble, perhaps, then. i am not misanthropic enough.

10:54 am

hurshy

i like ch1212's idea better

10:55 am

Dorens

judi, earlier there was a big conversation about philly cheesesteaks with a consideration of a philly meeting... would you be interested?

10:55 am

hurshy

i am getting stronger so i could be that

10:55 am

Dorens

i think ch12 has it there

10:55 am

Judi

Well, I could do a Philly meeting, although I'm not a cheesesteak eater.

10:56 am

Dorens

will keep that in mind. (cheesesteaks are not mandatory)

10:56 am

hurshy

can you beam judi's cheesesteak to RI and i'll eat it?

10:56 am

ch1212

On the flip side of course, is that occasionally 'strong capable women' are only masking, and choosing misanthropes for the same reason --- it's emotionally safe to be in a relationship where he cannot possibly be truly intimate or present. ...

10:57 am

cybernan

ac 6, please?

10:57 am

ch1212

I speak from experience in my own misguided youth :)

10:57 am

rururocks

th 6/21 clue anyone

10:57 am

hurshy

oh it's hopeless, i may as well just forget about it

10:57 am

Dorens

you got it, hurshy

10:58 am

cybernan

sorry rurocks -- don't have it

10:58 am

Judi

Hmm. Trying to think of an example of a misanthropic relationship. Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston come to mind. Although, I think drugs skewed the situation considerably.

10:59 am

rururocks

so weird I easily get the 7's and can't find the 6 or the 5's... frustrating

10:59 am

ch1212

{{ hurshy }} It's probably the best thing for you to stick with us anyway -- you probably have heard it's not a good idea to get involved with anyone (misanthropic or otherwise) for at least a year.

But we're always here!

10:59 am

hurshy

love is imossible for me, i may as well just accept it

10:59 am

Judi

Mike Tyson and what's-her-name.

11:00 am

cybernan

help, please!!!!! ac 6?

11:00 am

Judi

Oh, Hurshy! Never say love is impossible. Love is inevitable!

11:00 am

KristineNas

11:00 am

ch1212

Me and my first husband! :D

I stayed single for almost 17 years after him, and good thing too -- I eventually learned to love me.

11:00 am

KristineNas

i dont even have the Ac 4 nan lol

11:00 am

ch1212

Oh Judi, I like that!! "Love is Inevitable" -- I really like that!

11:01 am

cybernan

pimples, kris

11:01 am

hurshy

well my husband still loves me, and i don't love him. the person i love, i don't know if he loves me or not, but probably not. and i don't think i will ever find anyone else, i'm too picky.

11:01 am

KristineNas

oh my word ty nan

11:01 am

Anniebrook

ac 6...ac +not out and how **e you? this is for nan

11:02 am

11:02 am

ch1212

Well, we all love you, hurshy (in a wonderfully platonic way, of course!)

11:02 am

hurshy

oops, two words in one sentence.

11:02 am

Judi

I believe it, ch1212. People just try too hard to find it some times. Sooner or later, it will sneak up behind you and taps you on the shoulder. So, you best be paying attentino.

11:02 am

pabtrek

ar7 please

11:03 am

rururocks

11:03 am

Anniebrook

11:04 am

ch1212

That's what finally happened with me, after 17 years. Dear old friend of many years suddenly looked different, and me to him, and tomorrow we celebrate our third wedding anniversary!

11:04 am

Anniebrook

glad you got it, nan

11:04 am

Judi

So, Hurshy.... who do you love? Is this person available for shoulder tapping?

11:04 am

hurshy

the person is living 2000 miles away.

11:04 am

cybernan

ar 7: Mr. Onassis + part of America

11:04 am

Atalante

hi mitten kitten!

11:05 am

Judi

So, it would be a long distance shoulder tap. That doesn't answer my question.

11:06 am

hurshy

i don't know judi. it's complicated.

11:06 am

rururocks

part of america cyber?

11:06 am

hurshy

america has 50 parts

11:06 am

Atalante

what happened to the cute deckhand?

11:06 am

cybernan

yep -- 50 of them

11:07 am

hurshy

but we also have DC and puerto rico

11:07 am

hurshy

eh, cute deckhand. i don't really see him. it doesn't matter.

11:07 am

Atalante

awww

11:07 am

hurshy

he was probably too nice for me anyway.

11:07 am

Judi

Pooh on complicated. Anything worth pursuing is complicated. (I'm full of cliches today - stop me before I expound again).

11:08 am

rururocks

oH DUH......I get it sorry I am so slow today

11:08 am

pabtrek

that's the 8 cybernan, though I needed that too, what about the ar7

11:08 am

rururocks

thanks a lot

11:08 am

hurshy

yes but guys often don't like being pursued. they don't like clingy. treading carefully is necessary.

11:08 am

KristineNas

take out the letter before the last one pab

11:08 am

pabtrek

nevermind

11:09 am

hurshy

especially with guys with misanthropic tendencies.

11:09 am

Judi

AHHHHG! Stop the boat! Self-esteem overboard! *throws Hurshy a life line*

11:09 am

Denny

Hi everybody

11:09 am

hurshy

it's not self-esteem

11:10 am

hurshy

i just can't fall in love with a guy who's too good

11:10 am

Judi

*dialing Dr. Phil*

11:10 am

KristineNas

May I please have a clue for the Tr 6 ?

11:10 am

dan2bit

clue for the wi8 that isn't the desperate housewives street?

11:11 am

KristineNas

there are 2 dan one vowel off

11:11 am

hurshy

no, i think it makes sense. if a guy hasn't had troubles or isn't emotionally complex, then how can he understand me?

11:11 am

KristineNas

teh second vowel differs

11:11 am

Anniebrook

dan, change the second vowel

11:11 am

dan2bit

ah tx annie & kristine

11:11 am

Anniebrook

Kris, tr6 ---hypnosis puts you in this

11:11 am

the Tr is what physic (fakes go into)

11:12 am

KristineNas

why cant i get the easy ones ty Annie and ruru

11:12 am

cybernan

ba 6?

11:13 am

Judi

Most guys don't talk about their troubles, nor do they usually project emotional complexity. You have to get them to let their guard down a little.

11:13 am

Anniebrook

why am i always stuck with 2 fours at the end?

11:13 am

pabtrek

ba6 please

11:13 am

Anniebrook

dont have that one, pab

11:13 am

Anniebrook

was answering Kris

11:14 am

rururocks

my sentiments exactly Kris I get the hard ones and miss the easiest even though they are right infront of my nose.

11:14 am

KristineNas

why do i bother doing these grids ? lol

11:14 am

hurshy

anyway, i think the thing is that i can't "look for someone", maybe it works for some people but not me. i fell head over heels one time, and if it doesn't work out with him, that's that, and if i don't happen to experience that again, i don't want to settle for boring, i've done that already.

11:15 am

Atalante

you find someone when you stop looking. cliche but so so true

11:15 am

Judi

*nodding* You shouldn't settle for boring and safe.

11:19 am

was there a fake periwinkle around earlier?

11:19 am

hurshy

yes indeed peri

11:19 am

periwinkle

really?

11:19 am

hurshy

we were talking about the color periwinkle earlier today, ata, and it was very disconcerting.

11:20 am

ch1212

flosey, it's the plural to the 5 above it

11:20 am

periwinkle

why was it disconcerting, hursh?

11:20 am

11:20 am

11:20 am

hurshy

because people said things like "f---ing periwinkle" and "i don't think periwinkle was ever in style"

11:21 am

periwinkle

oh my, that wasn't very nice

11:21 am

ch1212

oh, first c word is a c5, not 6. That is the same as the 2nd ca5 word, only with a different second vowel.

11:21 am

hurshy

but they didn't mean YOU! lol

11:21 am

cybernan

last ce 6?

11:22 am

flosey

sorry, meant the first ce6, I've been staring at this too long

11:22 am

I know, hurshy but you have defended me would'nt you

11:22 am

ch1212

ah... first ce6 -- sounds like a kind of knife. ce + r4

11:22 am

other women see baby clothes and find them cute, even many women who don't want their own children. i don't get it. they're just small clothes. this makes sense as they are for small people.

Parrot - the other best help you can get, after you run out of words, is to refer to Lickety's babble clues - see Friends of Babble at the bottom. This list will give you, in alphabetical order, the 1st 2 letters in each possible word, the number of letters and the point value. The majority of players here use it towards the end

The mother of one of my patients. 37 yrs old, with breast cancer since shortly after the boy was born. He is 7 and SO cute and sweet. He has never known his mom to not be sick. In the casket she had a baseball cap on--"CANCER SUCKS".

7:19 pm

hurshy

the REASON they are happy is because i take such good care of them. marty is extra happy i think, because he is madly in love with his momma. we have a pair bond.

7:19 pm

having cancer when you have young children is unusual- they give you so much strength to get you through it, but on the other hand you have to use so much emotional energy just to not let them know what kind of internal turmoil you are going through

7:32 pm

lideola

the thought of actually having the kids grow up without you there as a constant and positive influence is difficult to grasp... then the actual act of sitting down and having to map out what type of future you want them to have- schooling, care, etc, just so you still have some influence and say after you are gone is hard

7:32 pm

have fun herin

7:32 pm

Jacula

MrP - Very ni4, but did I not see you say earlier that the shipping cost was about $100?

8:03 pm

artlady

for books from the US? wow!

8:04 pm

mrpresident

yes jac, it WAS, but it is now $44 as it is coming from only 2 stores now, not 8 LOL!

8:04 pm

mrpresident

shipping is so darn expensive! that is why the books are cheap, they make up the profits in shipping

8:05 pm

Jacula

I went and bought 4 more books today... I didn't mean to... honest! But the hardbacks were 3 for Â£5 and the paperbacks the same (but I only wanted one paperback...at Â£1.99 it was a snip anyway.)

8:06 pm

Jacula

MrP - I'm not sure how this si4 would work out for you in the Antipodes but the si4 I use for books I buy online he4 in UK is play.com

8:07 pm

Jacula

The site works very ni4ly for us, he4 because it's based in Jersey where there is no Value Added Tax (VAT). The books are cheaper than in the shops and the si4 charges no postage.

8:09 pm

aknitter

st 6/21 the first one please

8:09 pm

mrpresident

that is excellent pricing jac!

8:09 pm

jillibus

MrP -- I sent for a paperback by a relative (David Clunies-Ross -- I've never met him) to Australia's Abbey's Bookshop and it ended up cost
ing over $60!

8:09 pm

mrpresident

books are very expensive here, it is totally annoying to pay$50-60 for hardbacks

8:10 pm

Jacula

ak - st + thespian + 2nd vowel.

8:10 pm

mrpresident

yes jilli! it is a ripoff

8:10 pm

artlady

I started using my library because the books keep accumulating.

8:10 pm

artlady

You should see my mother's place! It's a library in itself!

8:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

st 5/10 before to st4 the pot please?

8:10 pm

Brookie

it5?

8:11 pm

mrpresident

to 'have' to buy books from the US to save 50% is amazing to me. The books I purchased would have cost $30 each on average.

8:11 pm

aknitter

odd word jac

8:11 pm

Brookie

nm, got it!

8:12 pm

dcseain

artlady, what is a house, but a library.

8:12 pm

Jacula

8:12 pm

dcseain

mine and my mother's both are lined with bookshelves

8:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty! a fiwsh worthy word

8:12 pm

jillibus

I'm having a hard time selling my book on Gt Danes because it's pretty big and weighs 3 lbs so the postage is exorbitant and goes up each year -- now about $20!

8:12 pm

artlady

My mother's bookshelves are 4 books deep.

8:13 pm

mrpresident

I want a library in my house, I have so many bloody books!! my reading list is coming along slowly but surely in goodreads

8:13 pm

dcseain

my mom's are too, mine are not there yet, not to mention that 4-deep hardbounds would be awkward.

8:13 pm

Jacula

art - I was beginning to think about going back to the library myself for same reason. However, I do love having books around. Got rid of about 17 boxes of them to charity shops recently, i.e. liberated them for others to read.

8:14 pm

artlady

True, dc...hers are mostly paperbacks.

8:14 pm

jillibus

MrP -- just saw your Edna -- hilarious!

8:14 pm

artlady

17 boxes, Jac!! That's a library in itself!

8:14 pm

mrpresident

our great dame!

8:14 pm

Jacula

art - that wasn't even half my collection!

8:15 pm

Jacula

I have thousands of books.

8:15 pm

jillibus

ok, R words done, on to the S lot

8:15 pm

artlady

How's the foundation of your home, Jac??? Sturdy, I hope!

8:16 pm

Jacula

If I listed every one I've ever read or everyone I've ever owned on Goodreads, I wouldn't live long enought to review them all! LOL

8:16 pm

I had to put so many books in a garage sale when I moved -- still had 11 big boxes to send here. Now that I work in a library I rarely buy books -- and seldom have time to read them!

8:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

8:21 pm

NonnieLight

8:21 pm

artlady

Keep house???

8:21 pm

mrpresident

8:21 pm

jillibus

8:21 pm

artlady

As you can see, however, my babbling is now limited to weekends...school started!

mrpresident

I am happy to take books off anyones hands... :))

8:24 pm

Can't even say, MrP., that I''' bring 'em over for you if we ever get to Aus., because of all the baggage restrictions now.

8:24 pm

herinfernallady

8:24 pm

doxy1lover

8:24 pm

NonnieLight

hello herin...back already? How was the picnic?

8:24 pm

doxy1lover

same here mrp. I love books

8:25 pm

Jacula

TO - the 'keeping house' goes by the wayside in favour of Babbling and reading... oh, and gardening.

8:25 pm

herinfernallady

I am using the other PC so i may have lag. No i am waiting for his royal highness to get out of the shower.

8:25 pm

mrpresident

baggage restrictions are a bother... one suitcase! who can fit the kitchen sink in one suitcase?

8:25 pm

NonnieLight

ah, I thought you had left already!

8:25 pm

herinfernallady

OH i have an idea MR Pres -Goodreads maybe we can coment 'willing to send to another babbler if we want to swap book'

8:26 pm

aknitter

last word is an 5, any clues floating around?

8:26 pm

herinfernallady

No Nonneie he left the pc on (silly lad) and i am sneaking in a few words

8:26 pm

NonnieLight

lol herin

8:26 pm

mrpresident

infern, logistically unsound, but nice idea :)

8:26 pm

Jacula

Exactly, MrP! I also object to having to take my shoes off at airports these days! It's such a bother getting up again after getting down there and then vice versa after they've 'gassed' the airport staff. LOL

8:26 pm

doxy1lover

a + not far

8:27 pm

nbjasmine

ever heard of bookcrossing.com? fun, interesting, and very nearly free (there are small products you can buy if you want to but don't have to). you can also indulge your literary critic by reviewing books on the site.

8:27 pm

aknitter

ty ty ty doxy... a piece of fudge and a flower for you

8:27 pm

doxy1lover

thanks aknitter, glad to help

8:27 pm

Jacula

Herin - goodreads already has that facility (for selling/swapping books). MrP's site is for the telling of stories.

8:27 pm

mrpresident

eewwwww LOL!

8:28 pm

herinfernallady

Hey if i do want to send books on to fellow babblers then ill put that in my read books.

8:28 pm

NonnieLight

Ugh, I dislike the strip search they put a person through.

8:28 pm

Jacula

Which reminds me... I must put my headphones in soon and listen first to Sprite's reading and then to Mr P's childrens' readings.

8:28 pm

herinfernallady

NB yes i have. Sorry my bad i got confused (i am doing the homer doh thing right now)

8:28 pm

mrpresident

infern, go check how much it 'costs' to send a book international

8:29 pm

Jacula

nbjasmine - Yes, I know the site. I'd prefer to know my books were being found, read and loved though.

8:29 pm

mrpresident

hope you enjoy it jac! get your favourite passage ready to read as well, it is fun!

8:29 pm

herinfernallady

See Mr Pres if I am purging my books i dont care about cost to send as id rather them have good new home

8:29 pm

herinfernallady

Oh i have to do the listening to the Pres and sprite story telling (when my dang pc is behaving)

8:30 pm

mrpresident

infern, you will care once you see how much it is to send to a new home

8:30 pm

8:34 pm

herinfernallady

I would love to do the story thing but my pc is poo (head phone jack broken) and the other pc is slow and crappy.

8:34 pm

mrpresident

sure thing infern :)

8:37 pm

nbjasmine

does your local bookcrossing do the park/coffee shop/mall meetings where people go specifically to leave and find books? that way you know they are found and loved. i agree with you on that, and i love talking books with people. few things more satisfying!

8:37 pm

jillibus

tyvm -- I have a creel beside me for the fish I expect to collect

8:38 pm

Jacula

ROFLOL, jilli!

NonnieLight

ok, herin...I hope you have a really nice time.

8:39 pm

Jacula

jasmine - due to various bombings he4 in UK, we are somewhat cautious about anything apparently just 'abandoned' anywhere. If you're not careful where you leave a package it may well cause an ''incident' and get blown up 'just in case' by the Bomb Squad.

8:39 pm

jillibus

st6/21 anybody?

8:40 pm

Jacula

Jilli - st + 'thespian' + 2nd vowel.

8:45 pm

jillibus

jac, I'm sorry to say I'm not familiar with Jewish spices -- and my Jewish pals aren't particularly spicy lol

8:45 pm

Jacula

8:45 pm

pida 1

I would also like the st 8/40 if anyone has it, please

8:46 pm

dcseain

latin might have gotten me there faster :)

8:46 pm

NonnieLight

is the jewish spice for st6 or st8???

8:46 pm

jillibus

st8 needers gathering here!

8:46 pm

dcseain

esp since the word parsed as amharic to me

8:46 pm

Never mind, jilli, you can put that info in one of the files in your brain now and bring it out next time the grid does.

8:47 pm

doxy1lover

*Imagining jilli now with some kind of amazing Jewish pal whom she is showing off to her friends at her favourite gathering place* Mind boggles.

8:49 pm

jacula- am familiar! my husband works at los alamos (nuclear parent lab). books in public, tho, are not usually a target for kabooming.

8:52 pm

Jacula

jilli - record her and put her on Youtube. LOL

8:53 pm

Jacula

...And then give all of us the link.

8:53 pm

jillibus

I wish, jac, that I knew how to do that!

8:53 pm

BookThing in Baltimore rocks- leave what books you don't want, take what you do.

8:54 pm

jilli - Ask Lickety. He can do it!

8:55 pm

9:05 pm

Jacula

Art - is she perhaps away calculating how many books you've stolen from her? Which reminds me... I know I told my daughter I couldn't get on with the angled eyebrow tweezers I'd recently purchased. I said I much preferred my old straight ones. However, you think she'd have asked before she pinched them, wouldn't you? Daughters! Who'd have 'em?

9:06 pm

evanonut

i love the angled tweezers better myself jacula

9:06 pm

artlady

No, Jac. She waits for me to return them so she can file them. They're all organized. Then, when I am too slow returning one it messes up her system!

9:06 pm

artlady

My daughter's gone to wax...no tweezers for her!

9:07 pm

Jacula

Nut - I'm a left-hander and I see things straight! LOL

9:07 pm

I deal with my own brows and any facial ha4 that may or m,ay not be becoming a nuisance in this, my 50th year.Also deal with my own nails.

angelinaxox

hi any clues for the ea 5,10 please?

11:36 pm

Jacula

I can't believe how good a man in makeup can look, and I love the loose, 'I'd be a hero if it wasn't almost blooody impossible' take on it. It reminds me of my man - thingsa mount up, things get scarey, but he surmounts them somehow and arrives back to me victorious, sometimes, with stubble. I LOVE him (and Johnny Depp)/

11:37 pm

dcseain

the consonant-filled ones often are tough. the vowel clusteer today made it no easier

11:37 pm

moolingwa

ea 5/10 someone who ea*s (as in food)
