no game is guilty of child neglect. People are.

you cannot blame a game for an idiot, that person had an addictive personality and the child would have suffered had it been drugs, gambling, alcohol, or whatever, The blame lies with the parents not a game

Jellen

I will be happy to include your hubby in my prayers, sprite!

2:23 am

lynxxx

Of course! will he find out straight away Sprite? or are we all going to be in suspense for a week or so?

2:25 am

2:29 am

sprite

got it too :)

2:29 am

granadan

Im intrigued - why name it if its deaf lmao? It could be unique like Prince and be a symbol..

2:29 am

Jellen

Goodbye, all. Need to attend to critter needs.

2:30 am

sprite

bye Jellen :)

2:30 am

granadan

bye jellen

2:30 am

Atalante

2:30 am

sprite

because one wants to talk ABOUT it, gran, even if you cannot talk AT it :)

2:31 am

granadan

lols - I forget, my other half is no interest oin the beasts so names are purely for mine and their benefit.

2:31 am

lynxxx

so4.5bar would be a nice compound

2:32 am

sprite

I wonder, granadan... if you had a deaf kid, wouldn't you name him or her either?

2:32 am

granadan

I had 150 cavies, and he called every one either Puck or Fig - I think that was right anyway.

2:32 am

lizmac

True Gran, but I think she would think it disrespegtful of her household position if she didn't have a title, though Dictator might be more fitting>

2:33 am

lizmac

LOL Gran !!

2:33 am

lynxxx

150 cavies!! all at one time?

2:33 am

granadan

LOL sprite - Ive got one child who doesnt know what day of the week it is, let alone his name Hes called Alfie, otherwise known as Alfiepants

2:33 am

granadan

Yep lyn.

2:33 am

sprite

ah, but you DID name him. I think a cat deserves the same courtesy :)

2:34 am

granadan

sprite chill, it was a joke, possibly in poor taste

2:34 am

granadan

you can guarantee that to cats we all have one collective name "staff"

2:35 am

sprite

I thought we were all "Hey you"' to them?

2:35 am

granadan

to my dogs I am "'er wot brings grub and walkies"

2:36 am

lizmac

Correct, Gran. She has Prime Servant (me) and deputy servant (husband)

2:36 am

Atalante

lol yes that sounds familiar

2:36 am

sprite

I love that about cats. That air of granting us the right to feed and cuddle them.

2:37 am

lizmac

Anyway, enough frivolity..I'm off to bed. BBL

2:37 am

sprite

galeystarr

Thank you :)

3:39 am

3:39 am

mrpresident

I can't speak on skype with any of my darling friends cause I have no mic... :(( but at least I can type in the chog

3:39 am

sprite

totally lovely, mrP. I love recipes. Not that I like the daily cooking, but I do love making special things.

3:39 am

Haz1558

Try shouting really loud, mrpresident. It's what English people do when they're talking to foreigners.

3:40 am

sprite

poor mrP :(
Don't type too much, darling? Take care of the arm?

3:40 am

mrpresident

LOL Haz!

3:40 am

mrpresident

the arm is a liability!!! need to chop it off! but luckily, my kids need it to give them big hugs :)

3:40 am

sprite

LOL Haz... and some dutch people too! I heard a man yell: aardappels. AARDappels! AAAARDAPPELS!!!! to a Frenchman. Did not help :)

3:41 am

sprite

you stop that right now and start loving that arm, mrP! How is it to heal if you make it feel unwanted!

3:41 am

Haz1558

I don't know whether it's borne out of frustration or the deeply held belief that people are just pretending not to understand.

3:42 am

mrpresident

oh, the arm gets all the sympathy!! poor arm... oh the arm is so poorly!! give the arm a break!! LOL

3:42 am

mrpresident

well, it got it's break alright!

3:42 am

sprite

I have no idea. It is pretty strange behaviour, lol.

3:43 am

sprite

tsk tsk tsk mrP! Look at it the other way: see what it is doing for you! How incredibly hard it has to work to heal. And how much you can already do with it again. And my sympathy is for you and you know it :P

3:44 am

mrpresident

that is why I love you so sprite :D... thank you!

3:44 am

mrpresident

I should get rid of my sourpuss... will go find a nice comforting pic of my dog.

3:44 am

Aloyisius

NO, do NOT give the arm a break! but do give it a rest.. hi everyone! mrp, I tried to tell Lickety something but I think he had already "left the building" the other day... I want to thank him again for his Beta version because I figured out how to Babble offline so that I can quickly enter words when I get to a connection (a huge advantage when traveling)... so three cheers again for Lickety.. and to you too for creating Babble Bites and Babble Books.

3:45 am

mrpresident

awwww, thanks aloy!! I will copy this and send it to him now! he will get it :D

3:45 am

sprite

love you right back, hun!

3:45 am

Aloyisius

thanks so much, mrp!

3:47 am

sprite

*takes bow too*

3:48 am

Haz1558

Has Atalante taken her bow yet? Did I miss her fireworks? Atalante?

3:48 am

sprite

nope, she is around, just busy. And not totally finished yet.

3:48 am

Aloyisius

congrats, sprite!!

3:48 am

Atalante

I'm here!

3:49 am

Haz1558

I've been sitting her doing a quiet drum roll for ages. Hands beginning to get tired....

3:49 am

sprite

lol Aloy... I finished some time ago. I take a bow for inventing babblebooks!

3:49 am

mrpresident

yay sprite!!! belated fireworks congrats!

3:49 am

Haz1558

Ah, you're still there, thought I was going to have to shout loudly.

3:49 am

mrpresident

hi ata and haz!!

3:50 am

Haz1558

Well, mrpresident, what's new? How are the children?

3:50 am

Atalante

nope! though I have a pestering little hound ... I might not be here for long

3:50 am

Aloyisius

OH... definitely, sprite! ( tossing lovely bouquets your way as crowd wildly cheers).. (-:

3:50 am

Haz1558

Show her the picture of the explosive dogs and tell her she'll be sold into slavery if she doesn't leave you alone...

3:51 am

sprite

thanks Aloy :D
Now I feel adequately valued again :)

3:51 am

Atalante

ha ha good idea!

3:51 am

Haz1558

And Atalante, you know the thing Hobbit does - getting into the crook of your arm? I watched Spangle doing it last night with my sister-in-law. It was so funny.

3:51 am

sprite

good idea? Scaring that poor dog into submission? Cruel!

3:52 am

mrpresident

children are divine!
Maddison is at a choir concert tonight... the whole of the state is singing at the Sydney Town Hall... I miss out thou
Luke is here... he had to study for his english spelling test tonight... the little bugger stunned me! He knows every single word... all 300 that are to be tested!!
I am a lucky lucky girl to have such talented kids :D

3:52 am

sprite

woooot mrP, you must be so proud!

3:52 am

Haz1558

Good for Luke! And what a pity to miss Maddison.

3:53 am

Atalante

its sooooo funny! so annoying, but you can't help but laugh!

3:53 am

mrpresident

oh sprite, of all the things in the world, by far the kids are the best thing ever... I just want them to stop growing NOW and stay my darling babies

3:53 am

Haz1558

I know. Spangle absolutely adores here - she heard her car arrive and went frantic, then refused to accept anything less than 100% attention.

3:54 am

mrpresident

lickety will video the concert for us... so I won't cry too much

3:54 am

sprite

but Maddison gets to tell you everything about it and she can brag all she wants :) That is a good thing, even if you have to miss her perform.

3:54 am

Haz1558

mrpresident, I know the feeling. You want to kind of keep them preserved at a happy stage. But they'll be going on to even greater things, so you have to let them.

3:54 am

sprite

mrP! You can't be serious... they will be wonderful teenagers and brilliant and decent adults... you will love them just as much and enjoy them even more!

3:55 am

Atalante

awwwwww and spaniels get *so* wriggly and manic when desperate for attention

3:55 am

sprite

oh darn. I have to be off to physiotherapy and after that to pick up my meds... and I just don't want to leave!

3:55 am

mrpresident

oh and sprite, she spend most of the day in excrutiating pain! she has been lying down for most of practice with an awful earache... one of the mums called me to ask if they could give her medication (I said yes please!) and she is fine now to go on and perform

3:55 am

Haz1558

I'm her! I'm here. Love me! Love me! Look at me! I'm here!

3:56 am

Haz1558

(That was Spangle, not me, I'm not nearly so needy!)

3:56 am

Atalante

thats the one! wiggle WIGGLE!

3:56 am

mrpresident

I am going to make it impossible for them to leave home... I will lavish them with all the luxuries they can

3:56 am

mrpresident

can't get anywhere else!!

3:57 am

Atalante

and they'll still want to leave

3:57 am

mrpresident

ok ok ok, I know that doesn't work, but I can dream!

3:57 am

Haz1558

I'm picturing the scene - two enormously fat 30 year olds being waited on hand and foot.

3:57 am

sprite

owwww mrP, poor kid! And thank God for other nice mums!

3:57 am

Haz1558

No, better teach them how to fly and they'll return to the nest.

3:58 am

mrpresident

LOL haz! with our genetics, no fat in sight... but definitely 30 before they leave!

3:58 am

sprite

YAY Haz! *seconds that with all of her heart*

3:58 am

sprite

and now I MUST go... sorry to leave this company. But appointment calls.

3:58 am

Atalante

though mum tried that, and I think I've been home twice in the last 8 years LOL

3:58 am

mrpresident

bye darling sprite! have a good appointment... come back more healed!

3:58 am

Haz1558

Have a good day, sprite.

3:58 am

sprite

Love to you all and count your blessings... when I count mine you are one of them :)

3:59 am

Aloyisius

see you next time, sprite..

3:59 am

galeystarr

Bye sprite :)

3:59 am

mrpresident

I guess I should start the grid... :B

4:00 am

Haz1558

Or, you could just talk to us.

4:00 am

mrpresident

oh, I am putting a new odd spot up on the clues page, if anyone has an odd thing to suggest, please let me know... ie. 6 year olds laugh 300 times a day

4:01 am

mrpresident

haz, I love talking to you! I have to refresh to see my pup.

4:01 am

Haz1558

And seven year olds?

4:01 am

Atalante

ok, dog is doing the Head Thing. back in a bit!

4:02 am

mrpresident

and 9 year olds say 'duh' about 200 times a day when you tell them something of interest they might like to know

4:02 am

Haz1558

I'll click on your profile to see your pup. Looking very contented, I must say!

4:03 am

Haz1558

You mean some poor soul had to follow children around recording their every sound? That has to rank as one of the less desirable jobs.

4:03 am

mrpresident

yes, dirty job indeed

I wonder what qualifications are needed? Shorthand? Enormous reserves of patience? The ability to tell 300 jokes a day to make six year olds laugh?

4:05 am

Haz1558

And bye for now, Atalante! (She's probably half-way to the beach by now)

4:06 am

mrpresident

lucky girl

4:06 am

Haz1558

Yes - although the beach will be rather more bracing than the sort of beaches you're used to.

4:07 am

mrpresident

six year olds require multiple repeats, sing-a-long alphabet songs and no sugar after 3pm

4:07 am

Haz1558

My daughter is teaching seven/eight year olds. I should get her to take notes on their peculiarities.

4:16 am

mrpresident

luke says: 8 year olds can hit themselves on the head without hurting themselves.
they are not afraid to show their undies to anyone.
they don't listen to the teacher because they are bored.
they pretend to be listening, but they are not
hope this helps

4:17 am

Haz1558

The pretending to be listening is a new one. Louise thinks they look as though they're not paying attention but actually ARE.

4:18 am

Haz1558

And as for the not hurting themselves by hitting their heads..... Time will tel!

4:18 am

lynxxx

lol - I luv the undies one! Hi Haz & MRP

4:19 am

mrpresident

oh luke is very good at that... he looks in the other direction, talking and doing everything but work, the teacher yells at him, "Luke! what did I just say?"... and he repeats the last 10 paragraphs she said word for word! He is a smartass

4:20 am

Haz1558

I bet the teacher just loves him! It must be a bit exasperating for her, but that's just Luke being Luke, I suppose.

4:20 am

Haz1558

Hello lynxxx!

4:20 am

mrpresident

Hi lynxx!

4:24 am

mrpresident

Luke is one of a kind! and for some reason, the teachers love him! He certainly thinks outside the box

4:26 am

Haz1558

Teachers can usually tell the difference between a child who is malicious and one who is talented!

4:33 am

mrpresident

I must be going for a bit... see you all later :)

4:34 am

Haz1558

See you, mrpresident.

Hi Lady

5:47 am

KristineNas

it tends to be addictive doesn't it ?

5:47 am

Scrabbler

It is hard to pull myself away if I haven't finished. There is this need to feel accomplished, to find every sneaky hidden word.

5:47 am

lshult

G'd morning Babblers!

5:59 am

herinfernallady

Hi Lori

5:59 am

LoriP

A day off, theoretically, and I'm done. Prettye easy. So much for hoping for a 400 word grid. :(

5:59 am

Scrabbler

Hey Lori!

5:59 am

Scrabbler

Congrats, Lori.

6:00 am

herinfernallady

poor Lori, how about a babble grid witgh 400 RE and C words?

6:00 am

LoriP

I'd even suffer through that herin......

6:00 am

NonoNanette

congrats lori

6:00 am

herinfernallady

poor Lori you that bored?

6:01 am

LoriP

Yep. I am on reality avoidance mode today!

6:01 am

herinfernallady

listening to these doctors i so have to resist the urge to do the swedish chef

6:02 am

LoriP

Are you still on vacation Scrabbler, or is that ancient history now?

6:02 am

Scrabbler

What is the connection between brain surgery and Swedish cuisine?

6:02 am

LoriP

Hey nono! Scrabbler! Long time no see.

6:03 am

herinfernallady

Um the whole putting things together my brain keeps screaming that swedish chef thing i have no idea. Its actually with the whole surgery thing - the whole this bit goes here kinda like dr nick from the simpsons

6:03 am

Scrabbler

Vacation ended Monday at 12:59 PM, waaaaahhhh. It was a great 10 days of no work. And I stayed home and relaxed. My sister drove here. We played SCrabble, did hiking and kayaking, and laughed a LOT.

6:04 am

LoriP

Good stuff Scrabbler. I'm sad it's over, but glad you managed to recharge the spiritual batteries at least!

6:05 am

Scrabbler

So, I am back at work with boss, Richard Head, being an idiot as usual.

6:06 am

Scrabbler

He excels at arrogance, control, nitpicking....it is actually amusing to study him from a psychology perspective.

6:07 am

LoriP

People like that fascinate me. I'm a people watcher. Micromanaging control freaks, generally have .........

6:07 am

Scrabbler

Top row and right column are greyed out---whooppeeee.

6:07 am

LoriP

..........tiny anatomical parts!!! (for men) j/k LOL

6:07 am

LoriP

Yea Scrabbler! GoGo!

6:07 am

Scrabbler

I am also a people watcher. I call myself an observer of human behavior.

6:08 am

Scrabbler

Well, he is always grabbing at his parts, maybe to make sure they are still there.

6:08 am

LoriP

yep. I can entertain myself anywhere, just watching people. I have always loved it.

6:08 am

LoriP

LOL, further confirmation of my theory....

6:08 am

Scrabbler

I have to get ready for work. I shall return late this afternoon. Bye. Enjoy the day.

6:09 am

Hope your day goes smoothly. Have a good one Scrabbler.

7:47 am

herinfernallady

Kitty has finally unlogged her self from under my butt

Hi lilli

7:54 am

herinfernallady

Apparently its a body seam - one up on Gods joke on the scrotum

7:54 am

pabtrek

i will just have to try to work that into a conversation today

7:55 am

herinfernallady

Useless factoid of the day maybe?

Inge2

Incredibly useful, infernal.

7:58 am

herinfernallady

7:58 am

herinfernallady

Hi robin.

7:58 am

herinfernallady

She was found on a road side as a hand sized furball

7:59 am

Anniebrook

herin, yes, i remember, was wondering how long it was since she adopted you....

7:59 am

lilliann

ahh,that,s sad,but atleast she's got a good home now.

7:59 am

herinfernallady

Um i dont know when we got her

8:00 am

Anniebrook

herin, does she rule the roost?

8:01 am

herinfernallady

She is very spoiled. Her last owner dumped her. I think i have had her for about 2months. Yes she rules but she isn't allowed on benches or clawing the furniture and that kind of thing

8:02 am

lilliann

we have a cat that adopted us about 6 months ago.he use to live at the house behind us and decided he didn't want to live there anymore.

8:02 am

Anniebrook

Cats are genetically spoiled and regal.

8:02 am

herinfernallady

Fair enough what did his fur parents think (or is that human slaves?)

8:03 am

lilliann

when my last two cats died i swore i would'nt have anymore but he decided differently.

8:03 am

pabtrek

he knew you needed him lilliann

8:04 am

herinfernallady

Well they do that.

8:04 am

lilliann

they weren't overly bothered and got another one.

8:04 am

lilliann

that one keeps coming in the garden now.

8:05 am

herinfernallady

seems like they may be not be good fur parents

8:05 am

herinfernallady

The fluff ball has trashed my black pants they are covered in fur even though i washed them twice

8:06 am

lilliann

he's a lovely cat.he'll let us pick him up now ans stroke him which he wouldn't before and he likes to go upstairs on the beds,which they said he doesn't do.

8:06 am

herinfernallady

oh poor kitty he needed love

8:07 am

Scarlet

Good morning, all. Lady, you can use a fabric softener sheet to de-magnetize the hair from your trousers, and it usually slides off then.

8:08 am

herinfernallady

Thanks ill remember that

8:08 am

lilliann

he got hit by a car a few weeks ago and someone found him in there garden poorly,and took him back to them as they thought it was still theres and they took him to the vet.later that day they came round and said if we wanted to keep him for good then basically we would have to pay the bill.which we did gladly.

8:08 am

Scarlet

:-)

8:08 am

herinfernallady

How are you?

8:08 am

Anniebrook

Morning Scarlet!!!

8:09 am

herinfernallady

Scarlet have you heard from Granny Maxx? Lilli they sound like bad fur parents

8:09 am

Scarlet

I am well, but daughter has been going through Hades lately... abcess in her upper jaw... we're taking her to the doctor this morning for a root canal, and she's in sticker shock over the $2000 cost.... arggh!

8:10 am

Scarlet

Good morning, dear AnnieBrooklyn! *Hugs and smooches*

8:10 am

herinfernallady

Owwee thats um expensive

8:10 am

lilliann

how much!!!!

8:10 am

Scarlet

No, Lady... nothing on Grannymaxxx lately. If you're lurking, Granny, there are tons of hugs from Asheville for you!

8:11 am

herinfernallady

Thats right that and for Fran

8:11 am

Anniebrook

Scarlet, {{{Hugs}}} Abcesses are so painful and expensive. Bobby had a cyst wrapped around a nerve in his lower jaw and it was $4000. but had to be done as you are doing.

8:11 am

Scarlet

flosey told me the other day that it was cheap at the price... Argggh... she paid more for the root canal some time ago, and her friends go to Mexico (!) for their dental work!

8:12 am

herinfernallady

crap. I think my house mate just took $$$ from the house keeping tin

8:12 am

toadandtoadette

ri6? ra5? rh6?

8:12 am

herinfernallady

Mexico thats sounds dodgy

8:12 am

Anniebrook

Scarlet, healing vibes heading toward Leigh...

8:12 am

lilliann

8:12 am

Scarlet

Oh, Lilliann... you are a kitty-angel! *Hugs to the animal lovers of the world*

8:13 am

Scarlet

Thank you so much, dear friend, AnnieBrooklyn... I will tell her later... maybe BEFORE she gets the procedure.

8:13 am

lilliann

thanks scarlet.

8:14 am

herinfernallady

Its 'his money' but its not. Hes a fat pig and gives $100 for a fortnight but he eats twice what the boy and i eat. He eats breakfast lunch and dinner. I may eat breakfast/lunch and a small dinner. If he has taken money i will be saying no more

8:15 am

Anniebrook

rh6....rhymes with tap and first 2 letters of the part above your neck

8:15 am

herinfernallady

oh and he basicly eats 6 meals a day

8:15 am

Scarlet

Oh, poor Bobby, Annie... was he tough through the entire thing? That's a rough one!

8:15 am

lilliann

8:29 am

Scarlet

Good morning, erin... check the links below the Tile Stats, and click on Lickety's Babble Clues... this game is just like Boggle... you can use each tile only once per word, and finding the same word twice from different places in the grid, only counts once.

72 Temple Owl

hey all!

8:50 am

EvaNadine

yesterday was his last day of work, so hes got today, tomorrow + friday to sit at home + do nothing. *envious!*

8:50 am

lilliann

someone i know gave both her daughters bottles up until about five.i think one of them still use one now and they,ve both had teeth taken out because its rotted them.you would have thought she would have learnt with the 1st one,and the dentist told her to stop giving them bottles but she didn't.very irresponsible.

8:50 am

Mom

That is what I meant, get them washed today and you can sleep on them tonight. Leave him a sweet note, maybe he will wash them for you. :)

8:50 am

Mom

Hi TO

8:50 am

herinfernallady

Hi TO

8:50 am

Anniebrook

hi Owl...how you feeling?

8:51 am

EvaNadine

nothing but what i ask him politely to do, anyway...
(and by asking politely, i mean telling him to do...heh)

8:51 am

Mom

oh no, Eva, did he lose his job or switching jobs?

8:51 am

72 Temple Owl

hi annie, better ty

8:51 am

herinfernallady

Thanks i have to wash my sheets

8:51 am

EvaNadine

little of both, mom.
his contract ended + he hasnt quite yet signed on with the new job, but hes got 2 "definite possibilities" that just need to get their stuff together...
one of those "the job is yours" cases...

8:52 am

Mom

oh dear, I hope it works out for him.

8:52 am

herinfernallady

I read that you are best to have 3 bed sheet sets

8:52 am

Mom

TO, I take it you finally got through to the doctors. So glad you are some better

8:52 am

EvaNadine

me too!
my job pays well enough to cover us for a while, but i didnt move in with him, just to be the one paying all the bills!
heh

8:53 am

Mom

don't blame you there.

8:53 am

herinfernallady

I live wiht my b/f he pays for everything and i do the house work stuff

8:54 am

herinfernallady

My brain is broken. I dont go outside much. I dont like it

8:54 am

EvaNadine

sounds nice, herin. only i dont really like cleaning...
course, if he could afford to pay for everything, i think i could manage cleaning the house -- since i end up being the only one to do it most of the time anyway!
hah

8:55 am

herinfernallady

I dont like cleaning but i make sure i do 30 min a day

8:55 am

EvaNadine

i did leave him with the "if you get time today, could you..." message...heh

8:56 am

EvaNadine

its my nag-less way of nagging...usually he gets whatever it is done, but if he doesnt, it gives me a legitimate reason to nag later. :)

8:56 am

Mom

hehe, see if he takes the hint.

8:56 am

herinfernallady

See men can be dense and need proper dirrection

8:57 am

Mom

besides, you catch a lot more flies with honey then with vinegar

8:57 am

EvaNadine

he has these posters that used to be on the wall...we had to take them down to have the place painted, and since im there now, hes not hanging them back up in the bedroom...
but right now, theyre just on the floor + i walk all over them...
i sweetly encouraged him to pick them up + do something with them. ;)

8:58 am

Mom

can you slide them under the bed?

8:59 am

Mom

if anyone has the lonely e on the right column, would you please give me the stats for it?

8:59 am

EvaNadine

theres a bunch of stuff under the bed already...
theres another bedroom thats more "his room" so i recommended he hang them up in there. :)

8:59 am

EvaNadine

cant help you there, mom, i dont have it either...

8:59 am

Mom

good idea, Eva. You could even hang them for him as a surprise

9:00 am

Mom

look dear, what I did just for you. These are just too nice to have laying all over the floor. :)

9:00 am

EvaNadine

see, im a "frame it and hang it" kinda gal...

10:44 am

Queenruejean

Eva, if you are pr5,12 to argue, you are likely to argue. However if you are pr5,12 - as in the position - you probably have more fun things in mind.

10:45 am

It just depends on your tone of voice when typing. Some might type '24 for Christmas dinner' with something approaching despair. You're obviously relishing the thought!

10:49 am

monpazier

Hi all!! Hetty, Christmas in Victoria would be wonderful. It is one of the most beautiful places I've ever visited.

10:49 am

debjed

ra5,14?

10:49 am

hetty

Hi there Haz! It will certainly be a Christmas like no other. What will you be doing?

10:49 am

72 Temple Owl

hi haz!

10:50 am

Haz1558

I'll be cooking, hetty, as I have done for the past 25 years.

10:50 am

72 Temple Owl

epah

10:50 am

Anniebrook

Hi Haz!

10:50 am

Haz1558

And hello to everyone, by the way!

10:50 am

hetty

Hear my tone of voice. Unremitting delight. All the women in our family are great cooks

10:50 am

pinkhatlil

hello haz!

10:50 am

72 Temple Owl

must escape. girl across the aisle is a loud talker, everyone else goen to lunch, it is echoing

10:50 am

Haz1558

Hello pinkhat!

10:51 am

Haz1558

That's wonderful, hetty, you can all delight each other.

10:51 am

Anniebrook

different vowel in front, Owl

10:51 am

72 Temple Owl

later, all! *shoulders to ears in involuntary shudder as volume gets louder* i have become a hermit for usre, loud talking grting on me

10:51 am

hetty

So you'll be in good comoany, Haz. Having cooked Christmas dinner for over 50 years I now relish being banned from the kitchen. Your time will come too.

10:52 am

72 Temple Owl

ty annie - i already got that fish ! ; )

10:52 am

Haz1558

Oh hetty, I can't imagine being banned from the kitchen. I'm a bit of a control freak and can only have people in the kitchen if they sit down and don't ask for jobs to do!

10:53 am

Anniebrook

later, Owl and I am off too

10:53 am

Haz1558

See you later, TO. I suppose cotton wool in ears would be too obvious?

10:55 am

hetty

Haz, when your body has slowed down and your reflexes too and yiou can't see whether it's salt or sugar you will be glad to relinquish control. Besides, my eldest daughter is a control freak too, and it willo be her kitchen

10:56 am

Haz1558

I know - I'll try to give in gracefully when the time comes.

10:56 am

hetty

Idon't argue with my Annie. Not even when she's pr***

10:59 am

Haz1558

You're very wise, hetty. Christmas will probably follow its usual pattern here. My sister will stay for a few days, my sister-in-law will be here along with my daughters. I love the family togetherness on Christmas Day. And I especially like it when the presents are opened and I can get the paper into the bin!

11:05 am

hetty

Yup indeed. The ole my own mother always played (carefully wrapping and storing used paper, tags etc.)has become mine, and already I can see Annie itching to take over for that too.

11:05 am

hetty

that should be "role" oh this arthriti.

11:06 am

Haz1558

I knew what you meant! Sister-in-law would be inclined to keep paper and cards. She has cards dating back years and years. We're not nearly so sentimental and husband especially tends to throw out at the drop of a hat. How I've survived this long, I'll never know.

11:06 am

hetty

Now to business. I'm stuck atb the ar5, and have so many ways to go I' dizzy. Please someone, which a should I start with and which direction should I proceed in?

11:07 am

Haz1558

ar5 proceeds in hot fashion from the middle a.

11:08 am

hetty

umm "in hot fashion--left or up?

11:08 am

Haz1558

Hot as in fiery fashion - across, looking west.

11:09 am

hetty

Thanks. As soon as you wrote it I saw it. Bless youI

11:09 am

dcseain

ty haz. Hello, all.

11:10 am

Haz1558

You're welcome! Hello dc.

11:10 am

Susannah_x

im not getting fiery fashion!!

11:10 am

Haz1558

Fiery fashion reflecting the end result of the act described in ar5/10

11:11 am

debjed

ra5,14?

11:11 am

Haz1558

Don't worry, Susannah, my thinking is a bit twisted. The others have got used to it and ignore me if necessary.

11:11 am

dcseain

like the first part of medieval painer ot teenage mutant ninja turtle, debjed. insert a consonant in word before it.

11:12 am

Haz1558

ra5/14 - a sharp knock at the door, then two letters for the much marrried English king.

11:13 am

debjed

thanks guys, that's fireworks.

11:13 am

dcseain

yay debjed.

11:13 am

Haz1558

Well done debjed.

11:14 am

richp

how many total words today. Anyone?

11:15 am

Haz1558

93 words today.

11:15 am

Susannah_x

but we dont have a king!! blonde day, early dinner might be called for! lol

11:15 am

Haz1558

It was a King from long ago, famed for his six wives?

11:16 am

Atalante

i've got to have such a traditional christmas this year as we have friends from america staying, and they want a traditional english christmas

11:16 am

gracewer

first wa 4/8 please

11:16 am

hetty

It's also the pronoun, like "she" and It

11:16 am

Haz1558

So, chestnuts and geese and lords leaping down the path?

11:17 am

Susannah_x

oh y ty!!

11:17 am

hetty

*it

11:17 am

Haz1558

wa4/8 - same structure as what grows out of your head.

11:17 am

dcseain

hi ata.

11:17 am

ursh

Hello all - i went to the list with 20 to go and blow me down the first word i had missed was the chickens - how dense

11:17 am

Atalante

I guess so! midnight mass and big trees and carols and stuff

11:17 am

dcseain

they expect that English xmas will be that radically dfferent from one here?

11:17 am

Haz1558

That's life, ursh.

11:17 am

Book Doctor Gwen

howdee buddies. Looks like the lucky number of the day is 92

11:18 am

Atalante

hi dc! thank you very much for the recipe! I'll give it a go this weekend and see if my meagre cooking skills are up to the challenge!

11:18 am

Susannah_x

barm

11:18 am

gracewer

thanks haz

11:18 am

Haz1558

Oh, an English Christmas has to be different. All Dickens and things.

11:18 am

Atalante

oh yes. because we have *traditional* christmases LOL

11:18 am

dcseain

LOL

11:18 am

Haz1558

You're welcome grace.

11:19 am

Susannah_x

ooo wrong box sorry!!

11:19 am

Atalante

so haz and all, nearer the time I'll be desperately asking for everything anyone can think of thats traditional!

11:19 am

pinkhatlil

im done folks bye bye all!!

11:19 am

ursh

Our traditional Christmas is usually blazing heat and cold lunch round the pool

11:19 am

dcseain

My sister's inlaws often do a tradtional Danish xmas. Two differences from an American one: Crackers, and Rice Almond Pudding with hot cherry sauce.

11:19 am

Haz1558

Crackers and pantomimes. You'll have to have them.

11:19 am

Haz1558

Bye pinkhat!

11:19 am

Atalante

omg pantomime. i'd forgotten that. ouch

11:19 am

dcseain

hot temp, not piquant that is.

11:20 am

Haz1558

Because Americans know nothing of the delights of men dressing as women and taunting the audience.

11:20 am

Atalante

you dont have crackers over there?

11:20 am

Atalante

hmmm how much do I love my friends? enough to put up with pantomime hell for them???

11:20 am

Haz1558

I don't think they do, but I'm prepared to be shot down in flames.

11:21 am

Book Doctor Gwen

by crackers do you mean crispy baked snacks or ignorant white people?? LOL

11:21 am

dcseain

We can get them now, ata, but when i was growing up they had to be brought from Britain.

11:21 am

Haz1558

Oh go on, you couldn't live with yourself if you didn't.

11:21 am

dcseain

LOL Gwen

11:21 am

Atalante

things you pull and they go bang

11:21 am

lbdawger

interesting discussion...We have crackers, but usually only use them at new years, (i'm assuming the noise makers, and not the edibles)

11:21 am

dcseain

no, i mean tubes of paper you pull, make a popping noise, and spew toys, trinkets and candy.

11:21 am

Atalante

oh I could!

11:21 am

Haz1558

Kind of like explosive dogs.

11:21 am

dcseain

a piÃ±ata with less work.

11:22 am

ursh

and they have junkie toys in them which the kids love - and silly paper hats come in the box

11:22 am

Atalante

could make dog shaped crackers! LOL

11:22 am

Atalante

mymum makes her own crackers, so we all actually get nice presents in them

11:22 am

Haz1558

You can get varying degrees of crackers. Rubbish ones (cheap) ranging up to expensive ones with lots of nice things. The jokes are always hopeless though.

11:22 am

dcseain

oh, nice, ata.

11:23 am

Haz1558

That would be fun, Atalante! i used to make my own personalised crackers at Christmas. Then I discovered babble and the fact that there was more to life than stuffing a cracker.

11:23 am

lbdawger

ata, how does you mom make the "POP"?

11:23 am

hetty

Cracker joks are just fine by the time you've all gotinto the brandy

11:23 am

Haz1558

You can buy the pop from pop shops. No licence needed. Yet.

11:23 am

hetty

or whatever other sauce

11:24 am

Atalante

I think she buys cracker kits from somewhere, a stationers or something

11:24 am

lbdawger

the crackers just gave me an idea for my holiday "stocking stuffers" now to find out how to make them.

11:25 am

Haz1558

I think Lakeland do cracker kits as well.

11:25 am

Haz1558

lb -they're not difficult once you get the production line going.

11:26 am

Susannah_x

can we stop with xmas please its still september!!

11:26 am

CiociaJudy

dc, thanks for the recipe. Hi to all. time to grab lunch. bbl

11:26 am

Krista

If anyone has instructions for making crackers, I'd be most grateful. My kids go through them at an alarming rate. We can buy them here now, but they are very expensive. Not sure if we could get the "explosive" part here.

11:26 am

Haz1558

Christmas will come in its own good time - it's just that a traditional English Christmas need setting up.

11:27 am

dcseain

you're quite welcome, Judy. That one is one of the trio of favourites between my sistter, mother, and me.

11:27 am

Atalante

oh yes, Lakeland definitely do

11:27 am

Haz1558

And you can get their tree shaped ice cubes as well for an added touch.

11:27 am

Book Doctor Gwen

i second susanna's motion!! LOL

11:27 am

dcseain

krista, most joke shops would have the explosive bit, i'm sure.

11:27 am

Atalante

what do you actually call the pop bit of a cracker?

11:28 am

lbdawger

Haz, if you have the "recipe" for the crackers, would you mind sending it to me? My email is in my bio. Thanks

11:28 am

Haz1558

The snap, I think.

11:29 am

Susannah_x

lots of cardboard, ribbon, and tissue paper!!

11:29 am

Haz1558

I'll have a look out for you, lb. I certainly have it in book form (with illustrations), I'l have a look on google.

11:29 am

dcseain

well, that was a fun grid today

11:30 am

Atalante

I would ask my mother for you, but she is somewhere between San Francisco and Hawaii

11:30 am

gracewer

first fireworks in a long time

11:30 am

Haz1558

www.oldenglishcrackers.com. You can find the make your own instructions bit within the website. And they are called cracker snaps, I was right (phew)

11:31 am

dcseain

congrats, grace!

11:31 am

o-o

congrats, gracewer

11:31 am

Krista

Oh, cool...thanks, Haz. I think my kids would love making them.

11:31 am

hetty

Ah we going crackers or what?

11:31 am

lbdawger

wtg gracewer!

11:32 am

Haz1558

Well done, grace.

11:32 am

dcseain

maybe, hetty, after all, sometimes you fell like a nut, sometimes you don't.

11:32 am

lbdawger

thanks Haz/

11:32 am

Atalante

perhaps we'll make home-made paper chains this year. equally fun

11:32 am

dcseain

that is fun, ata.

11:33 am

Atalante

yup, I love doing that

11:33 am

Haz1558

Hobbit and Sily will have a field day.

11:34 am

Atalante

true ... hadn't considered the Cat Factor

11:34 am

Krista

Do you use them for the trees, or just decorating any part of the house, Atalante?

11:34 am

Haz1558

You always should consider the Cat Factor. They are in charge.

11:35 am

dcseain

any of you know what aggro is?

11:35 am

Atalante

anywhere, everywhere :)

11:35 am

dcseain

we learned to anchor the trees to the ceiling or wall against the cats, and to hang fragile ornaments very low, just in case.

11:36 am

Atalante

lol we used to hang the delicate ornaments very *high*. the lower branches had cotton ball things that the cat could biff

11:36 am

Krista

You've just given me the idea to do a traditional English Christmas this year. My in-laws get homesick, so it would be nice for them, too.

11:37 am

Krista

my husband always says that, DC...everything is aggro to him

11:37 am

Haz1558

If they like it, we get the glory, okay?

11:37 am

dcseain

ah, your cats batted at ornaments, rather than climbed the tree, i see.

11:38 am

Krista

Absolutely...i'll be consulting you a lot in about a month!

11:38 am

Atalante

yup! Silverclaw does the same, little brat. I need to find some more material ornaments for her to kill this year

11:38 am

Haz1558

Be warned, Krista, a traditional English Christmas lasts for ages. You've Boxing Day to do as well.

11:39 am

dcseain

we stopped using tinsel because of the cats

11:39 am

Susannah_x

i have a house rabbit that last year somehow got in with the pressi's and ripped them apart!! fun fun

11:39 am

Atalante

incredible what we do for the little monsters!

11:39 am

Krista

We already do Boxing Day. I love making the holiday last longer. We do all this work for just one day of celebration, you know?

11:40 am

Susannah_x

likes to eat fake snow too!!

11:40 am

Krista

Aw, that's so cute, though, Susanna.

11:40 am

dcseain

yes, house rabbits shred the most, um, random things.

11:40 am

Susannah_x

think she knew we had chocolate in there...!!

11:40 am

Haz1558

Well, at least you're in the right frame of mind, Krista. I always laugh at the magazines appearing with suggestions for what to wear at every stage of every social occasion for a month.

11:41 am

Atalante

oh yes. you eat so much food that only the most comfortable clothes ever get worn anyway

11:41 am

Haz1558

The same magazines will have loads of recipe suggestions. Then, the January edition will be full of 'How to lose weight' and 'How to look marvellous'

11:42 am

Krista

My house bunny (when I was a teen) chewed up the wood on my parent's console TV they were not happy...

11:43 am

Susannah_x

we have no wall paper left behind the sofa!!!

11:43 am

Atalante

ooooops

11:43 am

Krista

LOL! It's the same with our ladies' magazines here, too. And you will have totally fattening recipes right next to some weight loss advertisement.

11:44 am

cool girl

how many words today folks?

11:44 am

Haz1558

If I were cynical I would say that they just recycle the same stuff year after year. But, of course, that couldn't be true, could it?

11:44 am

Haz1558

93 words today.

11:44 am

Queenruejean

I'm sure I will need the fish, but I have monkeyed that ri6,24 until I never want to see another banana! Can anyone help?

11:44 am

dcseain

i think that's only true in the last 30 years or so, havz

11:45 am

cool girl

thanks haz.... then its ''fireworks'' lol

11:45 am

dcseain

ri6 - tear + Knock

11:45 am

Haz1558

Congratulations cool girl.

11:46 am

Queenruejean

Thanks, DC. At least I don't need the fish. My monkey never would have got that. And I'm done!

11:46 am

Haz1558

Congratulations Queen.

11:46 am

dcseain

yay queen and cool girl!

11:47 am

Queenruejean

Thanks, ya'll. You guys have a good time!

11:47 am

Haz1558

Okay, I should wander kitchenward to get the evening meal prepared. Have a good day everyone!

11:47 am

Atalante

byeee!

11:47 am

dcseain

pleasant evening, haz.

11:47 am

lbdawger

11:48 am

Jellen

Hello all

11:48 am

Haz1558

Will do - I'll avoid explosive dogs, that's for sure.

11:48 am

Jellen

Hi and Bye, Haz

11:48 am

lbdawger

i suppose i should go do something constructive too. darn short grid! lol see you all later! Hi Jellen!

11:48 am

dcseain

hi jellen

11:48 am

Jellen

Hi and bye, lbd!

11:48 am

dcseain

11:49 am

Nef

Hi everyone. How's the grid today?

11:49 am

dcseain

it's nice, nef. hello.

11:49 am

Jellen

Hi, Nef. It's a quick one.

11:50 am

Jellen

Did you finally get some sleep, dc?

11:51 am

Susannah_x

small but annoying!!

11:51 am

dcseain

11 hours, Jellen

11:51 am

dcseain

debating taking a nap this afternoon, so i can last through my shift tonight.

11:51 am

Jellen

Good for you!!

11:51 am

Book Doctor Gwen

clue for ri6 ??

11:52 am

Nef

I don't think I checked in her the past 2 days; have there been any "normal-sized" grids lately? I've been seeing huge and tiny a lot lately (or am I just complaining because I haven't been able to be here as often as I'd like?

11:52 am

Susannah_x

what time is it over there??

11:52 am

dcseain

ri6 - tear + knock

11:52 am

dcseain

12:55 PM right now here.

11:52 am

Book Doctor Gwen

Nef, we had one that was about 200. i think of "normal" being about 150 to 250, eh?

11:52 am

Jellen

ri6 is a compound word; tear + type of urban music

11:53 am

dcseain

i agree gwen.

11:53 am

Book Doctor Gwen

TY for the weird word and FIREWORKS!

11:53 am

dcseain

yay gwen!

11:53 am

Jellen

Congrats, Gwen!!! WooHoo!!

11:53 am

dcseain

gwen, is that a dalek plate/bowl in ur profile? It's cool, recardless.

11:53 am

Nef

I agree with you Gwen; about 150-200 is the size I consider normal

11:54 am

Nef

YAY Gwen!

11:54 am

Book Doctor Gwen

dcseain, yep, Dalek collector plate.

11:55 am

Jellen

We also had a 150 in the past few days--puzzles and days run together in my brain

11:55 am

Book Doctor Gwen

"old style" Dalek. Plus the eyestalk is way huge, but still looks good on the plate

11:55 am

dcseain

neat. part of a series?

11:55 am

Book Doctor Gwen

dc, sorry, i know nothing about the plate! I'm just using it as an icon. not my plate, not my pic, either 8-)

11:56 am

dcseain

gotcha, it's a beaut.

11:57 am

Jellen

Hmm--I've heard of Elvis plates and John Wayne plates, but this is my first experience of a Dr. Who plate.

11:57 am

dcseain

i'll take the good dr over John Wayne or Elvis, may he be praised, any day.

11:57 am

Book Doctor Gwen

it's hard to get DW "collectibles" in the US. Have to order them from overseas. I have gotten a few through a toy collector I know. Toy daleks. Very adorable, and evil. LOL

11:58 am

Book Doctor Gwen

jellen, if you werein the UK you would see plenty of DW toys and whatnot

11:58 am

galeystarr

Any hints for the two op words :)

11:58 am

Atalante

DW stuff *everywhere* here

11:59 am

Krista

What are deleks?

11:59 am

Book Doctor Gwen

talk show host, minus the R

11:59 am

Book Doctor Gwen

that was a op4 clue

11:59 am

Jellen

op + say "**" so the doctor can look down your throat.

11:59 am

Book Doctor Gwen

krista, bad guys from the greatest TV show ever made

12:00 pm

galeystarr

Thank you very much

12:00 pm

Jellen

That would be Dr. Who.

12:00 pm

Krista

OH...from Dr.Who. Should have deduced that.

12:00 pm

frogface

who is your favourite doctor gwen?

12:00 pm

Jellen

Do you like the new series as much as the old one, Gwen?

12:00 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

please, Doctor Who, not Dr. Who! (am i picky or WHAT)

12:00 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

jellen, absolutely!

12:01 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

frog, i have no favorite doctor. they are all my hero. 8-) (Except the one who was very badly miscast . . .)

12:01 pm

klaurel

CAPTAIN JACK!

12:01 pm

klaurel

:)

12:01 pm

Jellen

Apologies to the Doctor. I'm a bad typist and took a short cut.

12:01 pm

Atalante

Tom Baker *sighs happily*

12:01 pm

fannieg

clue for the e 8?????????

12:02 pm

dcseain

fannie, you use them for listening to the stereo.

12:02 pm

frogface

I love david tennant and the comedy he brings to it but my all time favourite would have to be Tom Baker.

12:02 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

e8 is a compound = hearing organ plus annoying mobile ***** (or in the US, cell *****)

12:02 pm

Jellen

ea8 is a compound work for a listening aid.

12:02 pm

dcseain

A agree about Tom Baker.

12:02 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

my fave is whoever the current doctor on my screen is. I have all the old episodes (except the ones the BBC trashed, idiots)

12:02 pm

Jellen

word, not work

12:03 pm

klaurel

My hubby got me watching Dr. Who this summer so, I have actually not seen the older ones. :) Finished Series 1 with Eccleston, and working on Series 2 and 3 simultaneously on two channels and Torchwood

12:03 pm

Krista

Why in the world did they do that, Gwen?

12:03 pm

frogface

who was the one you think was miscast Gwen?

12:03 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

klaurel, you must go out and spread the good news, like your husband and me LOL

12:03 pm

Krista

We only get moldy oldy episodes on PBS.

12:03 pm

dcseain

i grew up watich the orignal series on Maryland Public Television, in the wee hours.

12:03 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

frog, 5th doctor

12:03 pm

Atalante

Slyvester Mc coy?

12:04 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

krista, moldy! OMG you did not say that LOL

12:04 pm

dcseain

12:04 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

atalante, no, 5th was peter davison

12:04 pm

fannieg

ty for 8 word. got it.

12:04 pm

Krista

I'm just saying that PBS never airs current episodes of anything. ;)

12:04 pm

klaurel

We have lots of the old ones on DVD, just haven't had time to go through them. :) Though I like the doctors, I don't want to take them to bed the way I want to take Captain Jack to bed

12:05 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

your pbs station must be even more broke than my pbs station

I thought Peter Davison was okay, my worst has to be sylvester mcCoy

12:05 pm

Atalante

yes, I know. I didnt realise you'd said it was the 5th you disliked

12:05 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

klaurel, you are not well LOL

12:05 pm

klaurel

They just finished the new Series 1 on our PBS station

12:05 pm

klaurel

No! I have this thing about guys and guns Sonic Screwdrivers just don't do it. :)

12:05 pm

Krista

Yes, Maryland Public TV, if you'd judge by how often they have fund drives, is poor.

12:05 pm

dcseain

no, we have 4 PBS stations here, and Maryland's are really well-funded. Maryland is just a geeky state.

12:06 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

a friend of mine is also insanely hot for capt jack. i just have to shake my head in disbelief LOL

12:06 pm

Krista

Watch it now, DC. ;)

12:06 pm

Jellen

Give me Orlando Bloom any day.

12:07 pm

Atalante

and I thought babblers had good taste ....

12:07 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

jellen, off topic!!! LOL

12:07 pm

Krista

Yes, they are well-funded. But I end up watching WETA because they don't fund-raise as much. But WETA sends out very annoying letters.

12:07 pm

frogface

Like captain Jack, but still prefer David Tennant any day.

12:07 pm

dcseain

Krista, i meant nothing untoward at Maryland. Much of my social life is there, nd geekiness is good, IMNSHO

12:08 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

agre, geekiness is cool

12:08 pm

Krista

It's funny about Captain Jack. The rotten teeth just don't matter, do they?!

12:08 pm

dcseain

WETA's mailings are tiresome.

12:08 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i mean we're playing a word game and discussing science fiction on TV. we must needs be geeks.

12:08 pm

Atalante

geekiness rocks

12:08 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

krista . . . no comment

12:08 pm

Jellen

Geeks rule the Babbleverse!

12:09 pm

klaurel

What rotten teeth? He has nice teeth!

12:09 pm

Krista

Yes, PBS and geekiness go hand in hand. I'm a proud geek.

12:09 pm

12:09 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

12:10 pm

Krista

I don't think you can do anything to make JohnnyDepp look bad. I was lusting after him in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, for crying out loud!

12:10 pm

klaurel

12:10 pm

dcseain

gwen, i quoted you in Out of Context Quotes on LiveJournal: http://community.livejournal.com/oocqu
otes/123149.html

klaurel

12:10 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

12:11 pm

Krista

12:11 pm

klaurel

yeah, those are my two dear geek kids

12:12 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

TY dc. I love being quoted 8-)

12:12 pm

aknitter

12:12 pm

klaurel

12:12 pm

dcseain

since when does target do cakes of any stripe?

12:13 pm

Krista

VERY cute kids, at that...oh, ok..hmmmmm...another cute Captain Jack...maybe I'll start watching Dr. Who...

12:13 pm

klaurel

Torchwood on BBCA, Krista

12:13 pm

Krista

SuperTarget has bakery

12:13 pm

klaurel

Though the next two weeks of DR Who on Sci Fi feature Jack

12:13 pm

klaurel

yes, the supertarget does

12:13 pm

klaurel

and they are REALLY good and reasonable

12:13 pm

dcseain

weird, krista, none here in VA do..

12:14 pm

Krista

Leesburg

12:14 pm

dcseain

i rarely go that far west.

12:14 pm

dcseain

must be a new thing.

12:14 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

Yes, having captain jack on DW for a week or two is okay. That way the Doctor can lord it over him some more LOL

12:15 pm

Jellen

Now that I know how way-off I was with my Captain Jack-related comment, I'm blushing.

12:15 pm

frogface

changed my icon for the first time.

12:15 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i would put up a new icon of the 10th doctor but i don't have a good square pic!

12:15 pm

Krista

I am blushing with you, Jellen. Don't feel lonely!

12:16 pm

klaurel

yeah!

12:16 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

frog, thanks, spoke too soon! and great looking icon!

12:16 pm

klaurel

they can do 2-dozen cupcakes and arrange them like a princess crown

12:17 pm

Krista

Husband has a client in Leesburg, so we ride along at times..we don't have a super target...thought they used to be called "Target Greatlands"

12:17 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

okay, so we're talking about Doctor who, Captain Jack, and cupcakes. My brain just fell off

12:17 pm

klaurel

There are Target greatlands which has the standard target stuff with a small food section

12:17 pm

frogface

Dr Who smeared with cupcakes are we talking about?

12:18 pm

klaurel

The Supertargets actually have agrocery store in them as well, like Super Wal-Marts

12:18 pm

klaurel

Captain Jack smeared with cupcakes. :)

12:18 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

this conversation is getting hot, frog

12:18 pm

dcseain

right, i've seen groceries, minus deli, meat, and bakeries in Target Greatlands and Super Targes.

12:18 pm

frogface

sorry Gwen i meant to say Doctor Who.

12:18 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

OMG ROFLMFAO !!

12:18 pm

Krista

Oh, gotcha. Didn't know there were three species of Target. I guess we just have Ye Olde Generic Target.

12:19 pm

klaurel

the Target bakery by us is REALLY good. They get really creative and can do almost anything!

12:20 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

catching breath and stealing your icon, frog 8-)

12:20 pm

Krista

Orlando Bloom smearing Captain Jack (from Doctor Who) with cupcakes made by Torchwood (on BBCA).

12:20 pm

klaurel

I could do that. And so would Captain Jack!

12:20 pm

Nef

could anyone give a hint for the ea 8/50 please?

12:21 pm

klaurel

Captain is the first totally bi-sexual character. In Utopia, he was literally hitting a woman, a man, and a blue alien girl

12:21 pm

frogface

excuse me folks, it is before the watershed, and i am getting very excited.

12:21 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

ea8 = compoound = listening organ + don't drive while you talk on the *****

hi eva

2:14 pm

Scarlet

Did your business take off enough to make it worth your while, kate?

2:15 pm

Scarlet

I have a few hundred questions, kate... first: are you still planning to marry? Did the divorce come through? Did the girls' dad come to visit again?

2:15 pm

kthdsn

not yet but I'm still hanging in there, I've built the site I've been wanting to build for years and I'm starting to build traffic to it, I've had one paying client as well

2:16 pm

Kerowyn

2:17 pm

Kate, if anyone deserved some kind nods from above, then you certainly do! I am happy that life seems to be cooperating once again for you! :-)

2:18 pm

Scarlet

LOL, Kero... I'll answer to anything! Glad you got it!

2:19 pm

Scarlet

Congratulations Keerowyn!! Or, er, Kero... Karo Syrup? Gulp... I'm a goonball today!

2:19 pm

Kerowyn

lol it's ok I've had that kind of week too.

2:20 pm

Scarlet

Okay, Kate... you can't drop a line like that and not tell me why you are feeling crappy!

2:20 pm

kthdsn

Oh I just don't feel very well and it's doing my head in because I can't get on with anything

2:20 pm

Scarlet

You are so kind, Kerowyn... LOL

2:21 pm

Scarlet

Do you think you might benefit from some medical oversight, Kate?

2:21 pm

Scarlet

Or, just a dark room with no sound?

2:22 pm

kthdsn

it's probably just a bug, I'm sure I'll be fine

2:22 pm

Scarlet

It really is the beginning of early flu season here in the states, Kate... have you been innoculated?

2:22 pm

seano216k

2:23 pm

Scarlet

Hi, seano, and Yippee for the light show!! :-)

2:23 pm

kthdsn

no, I stay away from that type of thing lol, horrible phobia

2:24 pm

Scarlet

Even though beloved and I are in our 60s now, we try to avoid the shots too... not that we fear needles, but the kickback reactions can be horrible...

2:24 pm

Scarlet

The only vaccination that I can tolerate is the pneumonia shot every few years...

2:25 pm

kthdsn

I haven't been to the doctor at all since my youngest was born

2:26 pm

seano216k

anyone need a clue before i skeedaddle?

2:26 pm

Scarlet

You're young and full of energy, Kate... do you hate the medical profession, or just avoid them as much as possible?

2:26 pm

Scarlet

Thanks, seano, I'll plod along at a snail's pace.

2:27 pm

kthdsn

I just don't think medical intervention is necessary or useful unless you're seriously dying which I know I'm not so I don't bother going

2:27 pm

Scarlet

Gotcha! I think that's better than the hypochondriacs who run to doctors with every sneeze...

2:27 pm

seano216k

best of luck all, I'll watch the footy on the box then !!

2:28 pm

Scarlet

Lucky you, seano... I love the American football, too... wish I knew more about soccerr... just the Olympic style that I watch

2:28 pm

Scarlet

Or, the World Cup... that's all I get to see.

2:28 pm

kthdsn

this A in the centre is driving me crazy, it's the only tile I can't see any words from

2:29 pm
