dcseain
so, sprite, picking up on a recent thread, what did your parents/grandparents do through the war?
2:38 am
sprite
my grandparents on mother's side just lived through it as well as they could.
My grandparents on father's side were very active in the resistance. They hid Jewish people from the nazis. One of them was Hannie Schaft, who is pretty 'famous' in Holland. My father, who was a kid then, got a bullet through his leg shortly before the liberation.
2:39 am
dcseain
how noble of them.
2:39 am
sprite
they never saw it that way.
2:39 am
dcseain
i'm sure not.
2:41 am
sprite
my grandmother yelled at nazis that came search their house. She told them to wipe their feet and behave - and that she was certain their mother had not taught them to be rude and pollute a house. Most were young kids and it worked miraculously well :)
2:41 am
sprite
hey JoSo! *hug*
2:41 am
dcseain
huh. that's neat. Glad to hear there was some humanity through it all.

2:54 am

2:54 am
dcseain
there are some others i think may be valid, but would have to look up to be sure.
2:55 am
dcseain
in part because sometimes vocabs blend in my brain.
2:55 am
sprite
errrr dc... it is very sweet of you to tell me, but I do not use the list and I am not yet ready for clues like that... sorry to be unkind but would it be ok if you wait until I ask?
2:56 am
sprite
don't want to be rude! I just like the struggle :)
2:56 am

2:58 am
sprite
go back to bed with a great book... take a walk in this lovely weather... do a sudoku... hug someone dear to you... take a long and luxurous shower...
3:00 am
MVA
i'll try a combination of all those ... see you at the flip! bye
3:00 am
sprite
bye MVA, enjoy! :)
3:00 am
dcseain
i learned on thursday that the author of the book i'm reading right now livel down the street from me, and that i made his acquaintance at the block party on Saturday last.
3:00 am
sprite
*gets a funny image of MVA doing all of that at once*
3:00 am
dcseain
that was rather an unexpected surprise.
3:01 am
sprite
oh dc, that is special!
3:02 am
dcseain
it's a biography of Pierre l'Enfant and his planning of Washington, DC called "Grand Avenues". I've been enjoying it much.
3:02 am
dcseain
Pierre Charles l'Enfant, specifically.
3:03 am
sprite
wow... sounds like a book that would be fun to discuss with the writer! I hope you will meet him again!
3:04 am
dcseain
yes, it will be, esp since i'm a native here in the DC area, and he's from Minnesota originally. He teaches non-fiction literature and writing at George Mason University, the local commonwealth university.
3:05 am
dcseain
sorry, commonwealth rather than state here in Virgnia, and in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Kentucky.
3:06 am
sprite
what is the difference?
3:07 am
sprite
( I realise this is probably a very stupid question, but I really do not know)
3:07 am
dcseain
Commonwealths have unitary governments, like England, States have more decentralized governments, on the US model. VA, PA, MA, and NY were all Commonwealths of the British Crown in the colonial period, and KY was formed from VA. (Most people here don't know either, no biggie)
3:08 am
dcseain
NY reorganised as a State back in the 18th century, following the New England model. NJ also uses the New England Town form of government.
3:08 am
sprite
that is interesting! Thanks :)
3:08 am
dcseain
i'll stop now, as you did not as k for a lesson in US civics. ;)
3:10 am
sprite
lol, I am wrapping my brain around it right now. We tend to see the US as one big country. I sometimes wonder (in tv series and such) why it is always such a big issue in which state someone is prosecuted or hiding... but I begin to understand. Huge differences in how things are done.
3:11 am

I feel really silly for asking for help, but can someone help me with my last 2 words - both pe. Have a pe4/5?
3:11 am

I have the coin, but with another last vowel pe5/12
3:11 am
dcseain

3:19 am
mom23
those would be them, dc!
3:20 am
dcseain
7 is plral.
3:20 am
sprite
that is not easy, candy. You must come across a lot of scary moments... birds are very common. Have you ever thought of therapy?
3:22 am
sprite
argh, talking about mixing up vowels... typed in 'built' 3 times and only then realised why it would not take. I think coffee might be in order.
3:22 am
dcseain
easy to do that in the grid, sprite.
3:23 am
sprite
I even started wondering if it did exist with a T at the end, lol... before even considering I was seeing it wrong.
3:23 am
dcseain
build, built is correct. :)
3:24 am
mom23
Yahoo! *F*I*R*W*O*R*K*S* so early! a record for moi! Tks, kids, and happy babbling. 'Til the morrow!
3:24 am
dcseain
just not in this grid today.
3:24 am
sprite
candy, not sure if I overstep boundaries here, but there is a specific therapy that works very well for this kind of trauma. It is called EMDR, it is short term therapy and concentrates on the trauma itself. It does not require digging in the past or endless talks. If you want, google it and see if you could give it a go.
3:25 am
dcseain
congrats, mom, and pleasant dreams!
3:26 am
sprite
or you could ask your doctor about it... it is an official treatment, done by psychologists and psychotherapists.
3:27 am
dcseain
sprite, i notice you seem to keep rather up on medical stuff, esp on the psyich side. Personal and/or professional interest, or coincidental, if i may ask?
3:29 am
sprite
personal experience, alas. I am going through a very rotten period in my life atm, trying to find my way back from total burnout, and learning to handle PTSS in a way that will allow me to be functional.
3:30 am

thanks for the hug :)
I really need them, it is over a year ago that I finally collapsed and sometimes it is hard to keep believing one day things will be better. But as babble knows, I am not giving up ever. That is my strong point and my weakness ;)

3:41 am

3:41 am
zTink

3:41 am

my editing tool completely killed my enthusiasm ... I did hours of work and lost it all
3:42 am
sprite
at least you will get a good laugh every now and then, dc :)
3:42 am
dcseain
not competent, clumsy, zTink
3:42 am
dcseain
VERY true, sprite :)
3:42 am

was it the tool or did you forget to save?
3:42 am
dcseain
oh, i'm so sorry to hear, mrp, here's hoping you got at least some of it saved?
3:42 am
dcseain

3:42 am

3:43 am

3:43 am

3:44 am
mrpresident

3:44 am
dcseain
save frequently and often is the mantra of we on the helpdesk, mrp, though i do acknowledge the tool was the issue there.
3:45 am
mrpresident
yes sprite! I was saying earlier that had you not done the intro for the site, I would have given up on it!
3:45 am
dcseain
wow, quite the trooper mrp! :) impressive recovery from the adversity.
3:45 am
dcseain

3:45 am

errr darling, I know this is not the right moment to tell you...but next time please remember that A. you don't have to do it all by yourself and B. you don't have to do it the very same day...
3:45 am
mrpresident
yay diem :)
3:45 am

did you like the intros?
3:46 am
sprite
and I admire your tenacity, mrP... but please be more kind to yourself next time, ok?
3:46 am
mrpresident
the intros were wonderful! thanks for that!!!
I wanted to get the whole thing out by the end of the weekend but suffered with it all.
I will not make the same mistake again of using that tool
3:47 am
dcseain
sprite's right on the taking care of yourself and sharing the burden.
3:47 am
mrpresident
I recovered the book talk about women, men and boys sprite, so that is up
3:48 am
mrpresident
at about 1.30am, I had to take a walk around the block a couple of times to calm myself... otherwise I would have thrown the computer out the window
3:49 am
sprite
we have a saying in dutch about not asking the impossible of yourself: de lat te hoog leggen.
It means putting the thing you need to jump over up too high and then demand of yourself that you jump it.
I do that all the time and I AM learning to put it lower.
3:49 am
mrpresident
but, that is out of my system now! talking about it is all I needed to do :))
you are right sprite, the bar was very high!
3:50 am
dcseain
glad that the walk helped, mrp
3:50 am
sprite
dearheart, we can always talk some more. That is never our problem, is it :) :)
So please don't spend another night fighting for babblebooks. Let's enjoy it and keep it simple, ok?

when i worked for a company with office in AU, it was great fun keeping track of meeting times during your summer time, what with nearly every state having a time zone.
4:00 am
mrpresident
we have 5 months here
4:00 am
mrpresident
I think it should be at least 6 months
4:00 am
sprite
we change to normal time soon and I will be enjoying it very much. Eating when I am really hungry, getting up when rested, going to bed when real tired.
But I hate springtime change!
4:00 am
mrpresident
yes, during summer, 4 states have different time zones
4:01 am
sprite
even in Europe it is tough, not all countries participate. England and Holland are an hour apart now. But keeping track of you guys overthere is impossible from here. I used a tool or I ask :D

4:28 am
dcseain
if any over you are aware of the incidental poem i wrote the other day in the log here, here's link to current draft, with links to prior drafts: http://community.livejournal.com/seain
_scribbles/1769.html
4:29 am
dcseain
'of you', not 'over'; sigh.
4:34 am
FMitch
Hi dc, paints a vivid picture in the minds eye.
4:34 am
P.J.
these little grids are always hard.....:( but,I won't give up.:)
4:35 am
FMitch
Hello hodag
4:37 am
dcseain
sorry, power blip.
4:37 am
dcseain
ty, FMitch. Is current draft stronger than where it started, in your opinion?
4:38 am
dcseain
this grid
goes fairly quickly hodag, despite appearances.
4:39 am
P.J.
I saue am glad to hear that 8)
4:42 am
FMitch
dc, you have it down to the bare bones now, the essence of the scene. I would talke out the 'but' before not water and slightly change the punctuation from a rare tree but that is a personal thing.
4:42 am
tizer
clue pls for pe 6/21... thanks
4:42 am
dcseain
tizer, it's a seabird
4:42 am
dcseain
sort of like British word for gas, different vowel
4:43 am
FMitch
The I would call it stronger and complete. Any more composing themselves in yr subconsiousness dc?
4:43 am
dcseain
hm. removing the but would certainly be in line with the stylistic direcion it's going, and change punctuation how?
4:44 am
dcseain
and yes, Fmitch, i'm prepping another revision of Samhain, and am getting ready to start Midwinter
4:44 am
tizer
ty fireworks
4:44 am
dcseain
yay, tizer!
4:45 am
FMitch
Um was thinking something like:" A rare tree, branches pointing east," as it is unique in the landscape it stands out more that way?
4:46 am
dcseain
ah, i had a comma before
4:47 am
dcseain
thank you, fmitch, most helpful. You have good sense of working with the style, too. Do you edit for a living?
4:47 am
mrpresident
back for my last one :)
is the pe6 a fishworthy word?
4:47 am
dcseain

4:51 am
P.J.
see ya fm,have a good day..:)
4:52 am
Jacula
Thanks, dcs, re the icon. I thought I might get here and find Sprite meant church fonts. LOL.
4:52 am
dcseain
i chose a highway sign font
4:53 am
dcseain
sprite seemed to care not, and to have meant text fonts, or at least we all took it that way, being wordies. :)
4:53 am
Jacula
Hi, hodag.
4:56 am
dcseain
if all goes well, i'l be home in an hour and a quarter, and in bed 20 min after that. i'm very wiped this AM.

4:57 am

4:58 am
Jacula
'Bye, hodag.
4:59 am
dcseain
frosts, we may even get some of those this year, we shall see. Last winter, but for 14-20 Feb, we didn't even have cold.
5:00 am
P.J.
Part of my day is blowing the leaves and the other part is a "hay ride",fall has come lol gone!
5:00 am
Jacula
Yes, the climate's all topsy-turvy. I'd normally have got tender plants in at least a month ago.
5:00 am
mrpresident
I really enjoyed that video! thanks fran :)
5:00 am

Jacula

5:10 am
Jacula
Well done, Gu.
5:10 am
dcseain

5:12 am

5:17 am
dcseain
morning, katie! how goes?
5:17 am
KatieMcG
good dc, now are you?
5:18 am
dcseain
very tired, in my last 40 min at work, and i got up 2.5 hrs early to go to a birthday luncheon. : ) Well worth it, though i'm looking forward to sleep. Happily, it's Sunday, so i'll get home quickly.
5:19 am
KatieMcG
that's good, you can get some decent sleep then :-)
5:19 am
dcseain
Castard - a sugary bastard?
5:20 am
KatieMcG
Her full name is Castard Bat!! She is known as Custard at the vets and for elder members of my family!!
5:21 am
dcseain
LOL, i see, that makes sense. :), and near enough for the cat to know its name still.
5:22 am
KatieMcG
She's the eldest and quite standoffish, goes through phases though, always more affectionate in the winter when we have to turn her to make sure she doesn't get bed sores because all she does is sleep all day.
5:23 am
dcseain
yes, the lapwarmer, footwarmer function of cats in Winter is most lovely.
5:24 am
inge
Franmag, what a great video. You outdid yourself
5:25 am
dcseain
i'm off work at 7AM M, and report back at 7AM T, that's 24 hours apart, right?
5:25 am
dcseain
same is true if i'm off at 7PM T and back at work 7PM W, no?
5:26 am
KatieMcG
Yep why?
5:27 am
dcseain
because looking at my calendar, it looked like less than that, then decided to do the math instead of depending on the graphic, and the mismatch of the data sources left me befuddled. Not that it's terribly easy to confuse me. :) Thank you for helping me clarify, as that lets me know the shape of my schedule for the early week. I'll have more downtime than i thought. Big happy! :D
5:29 am
KatieMcG
how come you get a day thrown in and then back on nights?
5:30 am
dcseain
i volunteered to cover a shift for someone who's on vacation.
5:31 am
dcseain
i'll be doing the same on 1 Nov.
5:31 am
KatieMcG
Ahhh that makes sense
5:31 am
dcseain
i'm oft diurnal on my days off, so it won't be too big a deal.
5:42 am
KatieMcG
Fireworks :-)
5:43 am
KatieMcG
Fastest I've every done it, can't believe a small grid was quite so easy!!
5:44 am
KatieMcG
Right off to decorate the study which means no babble until it's finished - that should focus the mind!!
5:46 am
dcseain
congrats, katie, enjoy decorating! I'm off to do shift turnover and head home; until the morrow!

4 of them are all based on the lu 4/5, to coerce someone into something, then add a plural, then make a person who does it, then plural that.

lu + hospital department reverse the letters and there are three endings you can add
4:05 pm

6:44 pm
Scarlet
Good night, all. Think Beantown!
6:45 pm
herinfernallady
Night Scarlet
6:45 pm
pam
Yes, tim. Youngest should be 8 weeks, ideally 10
6:45 pm
herinfernallady
Tim is the dog fully weaned and on solids?
6:45 pm
timhorton
i thought so
6:46 pm
timhorton
poor thing is trembling all the time
6:46 pm
timhorton
the dog is on solids though
6:46 pm
pam
6 weeks is too young to be weaned. that stinks. Backyard breeders/irresponsible breeders are the bane of my existence.
6:47 pm
timhorton
i had no part in it
6:47 pm
pam
Tim--can you put a hot water bottle in the crate/bed with the puppy?
6:47 pm
timhorton
would one of those warmable bean bags help?
6:47 pm
pam
Oh, tim , i am not accusing/blaming you. Or your kids' dad. Whoever gave/sold them the pup and let it go at this young age is the person I hold accountable
6:48 pm
pam
Yes, or an electric blnaket on LOW, tim. Sometimes a ticking clock that isn't too loud helps, too
6:48 pm
timhorton
all the same i would have asked the question first had i been in on the whole process
6:48 pm
evanonut
give the little guy a ticking clock and a heat pad
6:48 pm
herinfernallady
Tim stuff the dog down your top. No joke. My b.fs mums pup was trembling and i put him down my top and he was happy
6:49 pm
timhorton
he is okay when we are holding him with a blanket
6:49 pm
pam
Yes, close to the heart, infern.
6:49 pm
timhorton
yes right on our chest
6:49 pm
herinfernallady
At around 8-10 weeks is a good time, as they are fit to travel and ready for their new lives.
6:50 pm
pam
I know you would have, Tim. You seem that caring type. It just broils my bum when pups are weaned too soon
6:50 pm
herinfernallady
Oh and dont smell of heavy perfume/deodorant they dont like it
6:50 pm
pam
It is great if you can all hold him like that, tim. But, the hot water bottle/heating pad/electric blanket will help.
6:51 pm
timhorton
yeah when we are not here or asleep
6:52 pm
herinfernallady
Was the puppy bought from a breeder or a store?
6:52 pm
timhorton
a breeder a farm apparently
6:53 pm
timhorton
he still smells like a barn:)
6:53 pm
timhorton
but let him get used to the place for awhile before we bathe him
6:54 pm
herinfernallady
grrrr slaps them upside the head. At that age the dog needs litter mates to tell him/her what is what
6:55 pm
pam
true, infern. backyard breeders should all be slapped upside the head
6:55 pm
timhorton
the kids father lives in london they go there every other weekend this weekend they came back witht the dog
6:56 pm
timhorton
this is thier first pet
6:56 pm
timhorton
my daughter is alergic to most animals
6:57 pm
herinfernallady
Tim just love that puppy teach him manners. My kitten was so little when we found her she had to learn about manners. Biting me results in biting her. She is growning into a lovely but aloof cat
6:57 pm
pam
scnauzers are like poodles in that they have hair not fur, I think. so i hope this works out for your daughter.
6:58 pm
timhorton
so far so good
6:58 pm
pam
When your pup nips, yelp like a pup, tim. I think there are good links on line for raising a pup weened too soon
6:59 pm
timhorton
the deed is done now so all we can do is love him as much as possible:)
6:59 pm
herinfernallady
I think if you contact a breeder they may be able to help.
6:59 pm
timhorton
he doesn't nip yet or even bark
7:00 pm
timhorton
we have friends with small dogs i wonder if it would be helpful for him to spend some time with them
7:01 pm
herinfernallady
Tim get all his injections first (if they can at that age) to play with others if not make sure the other dogs are 'clean'
7:02 pm
pam
YES, that is a great idea, tim. socializing with pups will be a great thing, but make sure the pup is fully vetted first
7:02 pm
timhorton
he has two week to wait for his shots
7:03 pm
pam
Once that is done, have him socialize. Your kids are good socializers for him, too.
7:03 pm
herinfernallady
I want to hug the puppy and smell puppy
7:03 pm
herinfernallady
i love puppy smell
7:03 pm
timhorton
hehe well he smells like a barn right now
7:04 pm
herinfernallady
Tim that says to me that the dog was too young to leave.
7:06 pm
herinfernallady
But you have it now so what is its name?
7:07 pm
timhorton
it only drinks bottled water
7:08 pm
timhorton
just like my kids
7:08 pm
timhorton
he i shouls say
7:08 pm
herinfernallady
is that a boy or a girl? Pet it and snorgle it and take lots of pics.
7:09 pm
timhorton
i can see my daughterputting those sweaters on him
7:10 pm
timhorton
she is an interior design major
7:11 pm
herinfernallady
Oh do you wanna here a cute way to make jumpers for puppies?
7:11 pm
herinfernallady
Get a sock, cut off toe bit cut out 4 leg holes and there is a jumper
7:12 pm

7:53 pm
timhorton
hi book
7:54 pm
Jacula
Gwen - Yes, of course tepnib is a word. It refers to a slightly warmed pen nib. This is done in order to make the ink flow more smoothly. LOL

7:58 pm
timhorton
i am not reaLLY paying alot of attention to the grid
7:58 pm
Jacula
My arms and shoulders ache! We have been harvesting pears from our little orchard today, and the last of the plums. Then we did radical pruning and had to saw and chop all the branches up to put in the recycling bin. Shame we can't have a bonfire!
7:58 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
firewords for me!!
7:58 pm
timhorton
this puppy is distracting
7:58 pm

Sounds like a good day, jac!
7:58 pm

That one half of an identical two is followed by some strong string.
7:58 pm
lbdawger
Hi everyone! ooooh, a puppy!
7:59 pm
pam
strong enough to catch me a fish, LOL
7:59 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
jacula, why no bonfire? local laws?
7:59 pm
Jacula
You got it, pam!
7:59 pm
lbdawger
Hi Pam, how's your head tonight?
7:59 pm
timhorton

8:00 pm
timhorton
sorry hi lb
8:00 pm
lbdawger
what kind? boy or girl? how old?
8:01 pm
Jacula
Gwen - No, we could have a bonfire after 6pm according to local laws but all this Health & Safety stuff that's currently swamping UK may well have armed police bursting through our doors if one person complains about the smoke. Many of us in UK are fed up to the back teeth of the 'Nanny State@.
8:02 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
gadzooks -- you got fascists running your country too? (joking, only sorta)
8:02 pm
timhorton
6 weeks boy miniature snauzer name is CeeJay
8:02 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
that's what you get when you elect The Master as prime minister LOL
8:03 pm
pam
LOL. Well, we have a shrub for a president
8:03 pm
Jacula
Some people are so fed up of the current situation in UK that they are leaving the country. Mike Oldfield, (Tubular Bells musician) for instance. He lives in the next county to me and his Tudor mansion is now up for sale at £3.5 million. Lovely place! He's off to Spain where you can smoke where you like.
8:03 pm
lbdawger
ohhh, a wee little furball. 6 weeks is a bit early to be taken from his mommy
8:03 pm
Jacula
Gwen - I did NOT elect that party or that man.
8:03 pm
timhorton
yeah i know wasn't my idea
8:04 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
hmmm, we didn't elect the Current Resident, either
8:04 pm
lbdawger
well, you have your work cut out for you. surrogate mommy.
8:04 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
I once sold a Mike Oldfield book for a nice chunk of money 8-)
8:04 pm
Jacula
Who puts these power-crazed morons in charge of countries? Other morons?
8:05 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
Corrupt morons who take bribes and stuff.
8:05 pm
Jacula
Gwen - So, I guess you have a soft spot for Mr. Oldfield then?
8:05 pm
pam
Well, and the morons who can't be bothered to vote...
8:05 pm
lbdawger
Our chief moron seems to think he can circumvent our constitution by interpreting it HIS way and not the way it reads.
8:05 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
our current disaster of a gubmint was foisted on us through multiple shenanigans
8:05 pm
Jacula
pam - don't start me off on the subject of people who don't bother to vote...
8:06 pm
timhorton
did you see that video i posted
8:06 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
jacula, no, i have a soft spot for nice, pricy books i can sell LOL
8:06 pm
pam
He can't read, lbd....
8:06 pm
lbdawger

8:06 pm
Habes
Last word - er - have the mistake one - help please
8:06 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
the head of canada ain't much better, from what i've heard
8:06 pm
pam
OK, jac, we won't go there--to the non-voter land--tonight
8:07 pm
timhorton
hi ping
8:07 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
habes, one who commits an er5: he or she er4 (present tense)
8:07 pm
Ping
hi pam, dawg, and tim!
8:08 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
some of the non-voters that i've tried to talk into voting really *are* so dumb that you don't really want them to vote!
8:08 pm
Jacula
habes - both er words concern mistakes.
8:08 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
but democracy requires the dumb to vote, so to speak
8:09 pm
lbdawger
no, democracy allows the dumb to vote.
8:09 pm
pam
it just requires that they have the right, LOL
8:09 pm
Jacula
Gwen - I know what you mean re the non-voters. One sometimes wonders if they should be allowed to breed also. However, that gets into something like Hitler's plan and that was NOT good.
8:09 pm
Habes
Thanks - first time for fireworks - with much help
8:10 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i was just talking to a guy who's working for the Mike Gravel campaign. Gravel is running 9th out of 9 right now but I think he would make a fantastic president -- so liberal he would run the risk of getting shot, if you know what i mean
8:10 pm
timhorton
i swaer i have tried that lw word a thousand ways
8:10 pm
Habes
Maybe someday I'll finish all by myself...probably not:) Thanks again!
8:10 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
tim, lw + a vowel + a different vowel
8:11 pm
timhorton
oh my gosh no worder there is more than one lw in the puzzle
8:11 pm
evanonut
i love gravel bdg - and i talk to a lot of people who say the same thing, and i'm voting for him
8:11 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
hmmm, not a very good clue. too many vowels up in that corner
8:11 pm
Ping
is there more than 1 lw?
8:11 pm
timhorton
i was looking the wrong way
8:11 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
evanonut! good for you. i'm voting for dennis but if he drops out then it's gravel
8:11 pm
Jacula
lw4/8 - Angolan currency.
8:12 pm
Jacula
Actually, tim, there were 2 lw words in last grid, or grid before last. law4 & its plural. LOL
8:12 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
the lw4 rhymes with that hawaiian necklace made out of flowers
8:12 pm
Jacula
I can't comment on US politics.
8:13 pm
timhorton
what i mean is i was looking at the lw in the lower right
8:13 pm
Jacula
law? The 'a' shouldn't have been there.
8:14 pm
Jacula
le4/5 and 5/12 come from going downwards from that 'l'
8:14 pm
timhorton
i got it thanks
8:15 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
jacula, they be messed up. we're locked into a 2-party system that kills everything. we allow private financing so the most monoey wins over the better candidate too often. i could go on . . .
8:15 pm
evanonut
nut agrees with book
8:15 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
8-D
8:15 pm
Jacula
Gwen - To be honest, I don't think the situation is very different here in UK.
8:17 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
seems there are folks in every country trying to get up a stealth fascist gubmint. Yuck!
8:17 pm
Jacula
However, I'm breaking my general rule for life here. My general rule is? 'Never talk politics or religion with friends.'
8:17 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
jacula, or sex? LOL
8:17 pm
evanonut
friends? where?? he he he
8:18 pm
timhorton
good idea jac
8:18 pm
Jacula
Anyway, with 2 kids in the house - one with a master degree in history and politics, and one in her first year of studying same... we have lots of discussions. LOL
8:18 pm
Ping
sex talk seems safe enough

8:19 pm
evanonut
pingster too
8:20 pm
Jacula
Sex? Well... back in the 80s there was an unofficial version of the game Trivial Pursuit. It was called 'Sexual Trivia'. We once played this with our best friends (another couple). You only have to answer questions, or give truthful opinions but it was a) a bit embarrassing and b) kinda awkward.
8:20 pm
Krista
(comes out of lurky shadows...) hey all!
8:20 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
congress gets "cadillac" medical care while 50 million Merikins have none
8:20 pm

8:20 pm
lbdawger
Hi Krista
8:21 pm
Jacula
Nut - I do have friends! LOL
8:21 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i was so angry to hear the news spend days reporting on the Resident's colon polyps while 50 million Merikins have no health care
8:21 pm
Krista
you know they just just allowed his veto of CHIP programs to stand...
8:21 pm
Jacula
Hi, Krista. I dunno! The conversation turns to sex and out you come. *grins*
8:21 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
and of COURSE the Resident has polyps. if you lie down with dogs . . .
8:22 pm
Krista
OUCH..you know me too well, Jac!
8:22 pm
Jacula
*Grins at Krista.*
8:22 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
7 billion per year is too much to pay for children's health??? That's one week of this friggin war!
8:23 pm
Jacula
Erm... anyone need any grid clues before the windows get all steamed up?
8:23 pm
evanonut

8:24 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
'preciate it, nut. now i'm off to eat my very late dinner. Chow all.
8:24 pm
Jacula
Steamed up with political indignation, that is, not sex. LOL
8:24 pm

Enjoy your meal, Gwen.

8:27 pm
Krista

8:27 pm
lbdawger
I'll take Ren's piece
8:27 pm
Jacula
Chocolate, in quantity, can actually kill dogs.
8:28 pm

8:32 pm
evanonut
well, i think i could at least rate higher than lickety
8:33 pm
Jacula
lbd - Sometimes the humour may read as horribe between Rennie and me. Thing is, since I am Jacula (female queen of the night) and she is Renfield (the vampire's servant... which is why she calls me 'Mistress)... you get my drift?
8:34 pm
lbdawger
I hope neither of the kids are sick.
8:34 pm
Minveryork
Hello Jellen! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
8:34 pm
Jacula
I'm sure everything's fine in the Lickety household. Maybe they're just having some family time off.
8:35 pm

Hi ren, stid and Minerv
8:47 pm
Jacula
Krista - you may be right but is that down to your news sources and bias of those or you all being focussed on your own country? Not asking this to be insulted; it's something I would like to know. I guess, from what you posted that it's down to you only being told about certain things?
8:47 pm
stidmama
oh for a V in place of the S, then I could have velour, and a picture of The King on velvet, and ... LOL

I forgot to mention earlier, when I was typing about us being in the orchard (tiny orchard) that my Beloved, at the age of 38 and three quarters, went 'scrumping'. He knicked 5 apples off our neighbours' tree.
8:52 pm
Krista
I think it's both, Jac. The TV news has so little international news on it, that we watch BBC world every night! But it is sad how little the average American knows about other countries..Do you know who Jay Leno is? He does a thing on his program called "Jay Walking" where he will ask people on the street things like "who is the vice president" and "where is Mexico" and people can't answer (sorry this was so long..stepping off soap box)
8:52 pm
Jacula
Such a waste over the fence! They have 2 apple trees and a pear tree and just leave all the fruit to rot.
8:52 pm
renfield
i gotta say this...da squirrels took all of our pears!~!
8:52 pm
stidmama
oh what a sad thing, to waste good produce... We eat what we can get before the deer "scrump" it!
8:52 pm
evanonut
never say!!!! GREST
8:53 pm

scrumping...oooh...sounds like something else
8:53 pm

"scrump(ing)" is one of the finest words I have heard for ages! Thank you for that!
8:54 pm
Jacula
Sad thing here last year was that visitors to the local 'country park' were asked NOT to pick the mushrooms but to 'leave them for others to see and enjoy'. Mushrooms last, like, 2 days? *sigh*
8:54 pm
evanonut
my steelers are losing....*sniffle*
8:54 pm
stidmama
it's a squirrel conspiracy! *looks around in fear*
8:54 pm

well, the orchard is not in viewing sight, and they are rather indiscriminate in what they eat! Deer are pretty in moderation. Unfortunately, -they- don't know the meaning of the word!
8:55 pm
Jacula
Krista - Yes. I know who Jay Leno is and I've seen some of his stuff.

I am down to 21, and considering grabbing the list. Though this isn't a bad grid for being so small
8:55 pm
evanonut
i'm having recording problems, i need to get it sorted out
8:55 pm
renfield
i'm gonna find some of those pears - they sit on the fence and munch munch munch on those pears and even eat the cores
8:56 pm
evanonut
its the problem that makes it sound like we are talking over each other
8:56 pm
evanonut
oh ren....we could put a stick of dynomite in a pear...booby trap!
8:56 pm
stidmama
oh. Yes, that is very unfortunate and confusing....
8:56 pm
Krista
you're right, ruru...very sad!
8:56 pm
stidmama
not quite, cubfan!
8:56 pm
Jellen
cubfan, do you have the le's? There's a 4 and a 5
8:56 pm
Jacula
There's a whole load of stuff on'Youtube' called 'Stupid Americans', the most funny (not to you from US though, I would think) having been set up by Austrlian TV. I'm sure they go to the places where they can handpick the most stupid people and then edit the films to show what they want to show.
8:57 pm
rururocks
like the Jim Le** report
8:57 pm
Jacula
The Australian one was v. funny though! Sorry!
8:57 pm

8:59 pm
evanonut

8:59 pm
stidmama
(that's what I was thinking, nut!) *readjusts aluminum hat*
8:59 pm
renfield
probably didn;t - probably filmed at billy bob jump back's catfish kitchen
8:59 pm
stidmama
YAY! two gray columns on the right!
9:00 pm
Krista
I agree, nut! I'm a Girl Scout leader and I was pretty appalled at what the girls didn't know when we did a world leaders unit.
9:00 pm
rururocks
go stid go.
9:00 pm
evanonut
well, i know the answers, they shoulda asked me
9:00 pm
rururocks
bet they knew their cookies inside out
9:01 pm
stidmama
speaking as a tired mother of two, I admit I don't follow international news like I should. I have given up trying to decide who the leaders of nations that have regular coups are...
9:01 pm
Krista
But they're only kids..it's the adults that are scary. LOL, ruru..not really, though!
9:01 pm
evanonut
i like the red neck guy that's being an @ss on purpose and saying cali, and florida are in the axis of evil.
9:01 pm
stidmama
But at least I know the "major players" in my own national and local politics! something that sadly too many people in my country do not.
9:01 pm
rururocks
they sure know them well around these parts
9:01 pm
Krista
Yeah, Stid, but you at least have heard of the countries. :)
9:02 pm
rururocks
No not all of California... only Berkeley...lol
9:02 pm
saanichcat
stid, stick in with your ethics
9:02 pm
Krista
Cookies or politicians, ruru?
9:02 pm
stidmama
probably. Can't avoid it with a map-genius in the family! (one of my kids went to the state geography bee when we were homeschooling) *proud mama look*
9:03 pm
evanonut
i dunno, i think lopping of california and florida would be beneficial (covers head)
9:03 pm
rururocks
politicians and the axis of evil aroudn Berkeley
9:03 pm
Krista
I'd love for my daughter to do that, Stid, but she will have none of it.
9:03 pm
rururocks
then what would you eat ..corn?
9:03 pm
stidmama

It's gonna fall off eventually, anyway. :)~
9:04 pm
Jacula
I can't find the link on my favourites to the film right now, but one the Aussies set up put a countryu flag in Australia on the world map each time (but changed the name of the country to Iraq, Italy, England, whatever) and asked US citizens if they believed the country should be bombed and why.
9:04 pm
stidmama
*eats hurshy before tossing the rest of PA to the squirrels*
9:05 pm
rururocks
now that is funny
9:05 pm
stidmama
hm. that should have read "eats hurshey" as in chocolate city!
9:05 pm
evanonut
watchit stid or i'll organize those squirrels against you, all they need is my superior intelligent leadership
9:05 pm
rururocks
I am sure Hurshy will be offended
9:05 pm

9:05 pm
stidmama
FOUR gray columns!
9:06 pm

9:06 pm
rururocks
Ruru knocks off last grey column for stid
9:06 pm
evanonut
stupid american maybe
9:06 pm
stidmama
LOL thanks ruru!
9:06 pm
Jacula
I just hope Hursh doesn't arrive here now! I would have said, 'I hope he doesn't come' but, welll... I'm in shock. LOL
9:07 pm
evanonut

9:08 pm
Jacula
Erm... Have you lot taken offence over the 'stupid American' stuff? If so., no reason to. I did say the tapes were obviously rigged.
9:09 pm
Krista
**Go Stid**

Well.. we could start with the president//
9:10 pm
Jacula
Of course, all we Brits wear bowler hats, carry rolled up umbrellas and say 'Jolly hockey sticks!' and 'How spiffing!' all the time. LOL
9:10 pm
stidmama
and it's a four letter fish.... *looking*
9:10 pm
stidmama

and... she was all higggeldy piggeldy
9:10 pm

hm. how many total points please?
9:10 pm
Krista
No offense,here. We all need to laugh at ourselves. God knows I get a lot of practice.
9:10 pm
Jellen
516 points
9:11 pm
stidmama
thanks jellen! *does math and decides I need a two-point letter*
9:11 pm
Krista
You mean you don't say Pip Pip Cheerio?
9:11 pm
rururocks
I eat Cheerios though
9:11 pm
Jacula
Glad to hear no offence taken because none wwas meant.
9:11 pm
Jacula
Krista - erm... not often. LOL
9:12 pm
Krista
My husband's English, I'm allowed to "take the pi**." :)
9:12 pm
rururocks
two letters stid try "we"
9:12 pm
Jacula
Toodlepip is more like it. *grins* Love all that old RAF WWII speak.
9:12 pm
stidmama
nope ruru, not even close!
9:13 pm
Jacula
What ho! chaps! Everyone nearly done?
9:13 pm
Krista
My son is crying because he can't have a real laser. Sigh.
9:13 pm
Jacula
Krista - LOL
9:14 pm
stidmama
oh krista, how sad... would he settle for a lolly that looks like a lightsaber? It worked for my kids...
9:14 pm
rururocks
bbl got to cook din din... see you at the flip... Jellen you need an icon by then
9:14 pm
stidmama

good luck stid..
9:15 pm
stidmama
okay, how many re and ro please?
9:15 pm
rururocks
1 ro and 2 re
9:15 pm
stidmama
thanks ruru!
9:15 pm
Jacula
*Wonders if Krista should try 'tough love' and hire a laser to run round son's room and chop all the heads off his favourite soft toys and/or chop all his games in half. Thinks again. 'No! Too cruel a lesson.'
9:15 pm
stidmama
that was it!!!! :-)
9:16 pm
saanichcat
yeah yeah stid!!!
9:16 pm
rururocks
yyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh stid
9:16 pm
timhorton
yeah stid:)
9:16 pm
stidmama
thanks so much ruru!
9:16 pm
Krista
That's what I thought he meant, Stid, but he just clarified. He wants a laser beam alarm across his bedroom door (whatever that is called) so no one will get hurt in his messy room!
9:16 pm
Jacula
Well done, stid.
9:16 pm
Jellen
Yay for Stid!!!
9:16 pm
Jacula
Aw, Krista. That's sweet. (I think.)
9:17 pm
Krista
Yay Stid! (yeah, I think it's really to keep his sister out, Jac).
9:17 pm
rururocks
yvvw :0
9:17 pm
stidmama
oh! they have something like that actually. Look in the kid science-type catalogs that start coming this time of year...
9:17 pm
Jacula
Krista - most probably it is.
9:18 pm
stidmama
seems the one I got a few years back wasn't that expensive
9:18 pm
Jacula
When my kids were younger they either wrote rude keep out notices to each other on their doors or attacked the sibling intruder.:(
9:18 pm
Krista
Do they really have those? Well, maybe his big dream can come true after all! I'll look online!
9:19 pm
stidmama
cool video, btw. I always love those sorts of things.
9:19 pm
lbdawger
whoooo hooooo STID
9:19 pm
Jacula
Well done, stid.
9:19 pm
Krista
Are they nice to each other now? (looking for hope, here)
9:20 pm
Jacula
Krista - Yes. At 20 and 23 they are now civil, even friendly at times.
9:21 pm
stidmama
Krista, check out search terms like "spy alarm" and "motion detector children"
9:22 pm
timhorton
i have been working on this one word for 1/2 hr now and i know i am gonna kick myself when i see it
9:23 pm
stidmama
what letter tim?
9:23 pm
Krista
Yes! Just found some, wonderful. Thanks, Stid. Glad to hear it, Jac, because they surely get on my nerves sometimes.
9:23 pm
stidmama
tim -- a person who can't do the job from incompetence is in5
9:23 pm
lbdawger
in5, not skilled
9:24 pm
Jacula
Mind you, Krista, I think my favourite childhood photo of them, which is also theirs now they know the background story, is the one where my son (3 at the time) asked me, 'Can I have a photo taken WITHOUT THE BABY?' 'Of course you can, my darling!' said I and took a photo of him 'on his own'. However, he was standing in front of the pram and when the photo was developed, guess who had poppd her head out of thee pram to see what she was missing? Oh, LOLlolololol.
9:24 pm
timhorton
see i could kick myself it was sooooooo obvious
9:24 pm
stidmama
I got total cute overload today at the apple festival we helped at. A VERY newborn baby!
9:25 pm
stidmama
rofl CLASSIC kid moment, Jac!
9:25 pm
Jacula
Krista - you should go to the Rosie Nieper tee-shirt site for a tee-shirt my daughter owns. The legend on it reads, 'I have only one nerve and you are getting on it!'
9:26 pm
Jacula
stid - it sure was!
9:26 pm
Krista
Oh my gosh, that's funny, Jac!!
9:27 pm
Krista
This cracks me up: Spy Gear Spy Laser Trip Wire
Children can set up an invisible spy perimeter to protect your top secret toys - just like banks and museums use! Cross an invisible beam and the alarms sounds!
9:27 pm
timhorton
there is a video tonight right
9:27 pm
stidmama
I am going to send my children to different corners of the globe one of these days... One to Canada and one to Antarctica...
9:27 pm
stidmama
YES, a very nice video I thought...
9:27 pm
Krista
I use that line a lot around here, Jac!
9:28 pm
stidmama
well Jillibus just sent me some funny pics of jack-o-lanterns...
9:28 pm
Jacula
Krista - all that stuff to cross hidden laser beams sounds much like my daily trip through my daughter's bedroom to her en-suite bathroom for laundry.
9:28 pm
stidmama
Jacula -- do the English "do" Halloween at all?
9:28 pm
jillibus
You mean Canada owns the North Pole as is claimed, stid?
9:28 pm
stidmama
LOL I figured you were lurking!
9:28 pm
Jacula
Only my gymnastics are to get through a size 6 girl's version of 'pathway through the junk in my bedroom'.
9:29 pm
jillibus
just got here, lol
9:29 pm
stidmama
I thought Santa owned the north pole, Jill...
9:29 pm
timhorton
i hink i have to refresh to see it
9:29 pm
Jacula
stid - yes we do 'do Hallowe'en.. but it's becoming more Americanised now, re trick or treat.
9:29 pm
jillibus
Santa must be Canadian ;)
9:29 pm
stidmama
no tim... don't refresh...
9:29 pm
stidmama
do you have the "fireworks video" selection turned on?
9:29 pm
lbdawger
hi Jilli
9:30 pm
timhorton
wherei s that
9:30 pm
stidmama
Must be, Jill! Jolly old elf and all that. Certainly wouldn't be U.S. since he knows not only the names of the places, but the people in them!
9:30 pm
jillibus
hi everyone -- too many to name but each cherished equally :)
9:30 pm
stidmama
tim, in the "options" of the babble browser
9:31 pm
Jacula
Hiya, jilli.xx
9:31 pm
jillibus
Or does the old fake live in North Pole NY?
9:31 pm
timhorton
there is an option for no video it is not checked
9:31 pm
Krista
My young spy really needs to get to bed..Hey Jilli...Goodnight, all; thanks for the chat.
9:32 pm
stidmama
hm. not sure why it didn't load... did you try just dragging the right hand bar over to see if it's there?
9:32 pm
Jellen
g'night, Krista
9:32 pm
stidmama
sweet dreams spy-mama!
9:32 pm
Jacula
stid - do I still detect a bit of stiff shoulderedness in that post about Santa? Did you take offence at the 'stupid Americans' stuff?
9:32 pm
timhorton
the side bar is all white
9:33 pm
Jacula
The side bar is also all right, since, when it expands, it means you've got MORE WORDS. *grins*
9:33 pm
stidmama
Moi? Take offense? Mais NON! LOL Jacula, I think most people in the U.S. are pretty self-centered and unwilling to consider the importance of others. Not those in the Babble set, but... in general, for sure!
9:34 pm
stidmama
tim, I don't know why it didn't load then. Yes, try refreshing. Or even just close Babble and come back in?
9:34 pm
Jacula
stid - for real? (What you said about others in US).
9:34 pm
stidmama
yes Jacula -- I doubt very much that anyone has to doctor recordings to make the "average American" look pretty uneducated in world or national affairs...
9:35 pm
stidmama
But I suspect most know exactly who Britney or Paris are!
9:35 pm
jillibus
Hello jac -- I remember a Halloween at Malvern Girls' College vividly -- great fun -- pageant of mediaeval costumes (I balanced a great cone thing on my head), guessing games (what is that smell?), bobbing for apples, and best of all, the Ghost Hole where we had to go downstairs into the dark unknown and shake hands with the mistresses, one of whom had a rotten pear in her hand...gaaahhh!
9:35 pm
stidmama
ick. ick ick Jill. No wonder memory is vivid!
9:36 pm
Jacula
I tend to live my life knowing there is good and bad in every person and in every person no matter what nation, colour or creed. There are good people all around the world. Some , you may connect with, and some you may not.
9:36 pm
stidmama
*nods head in agreement with Jacula*

rofl... just showed Tom the funny pics Jill sent.
9:39 pm
Jacula
LOL, jilli. Same sort of thing happened to me at a children's party when I was a child. Something to to with a sea shanty... got blinfolded and then tied to a dining chair that was then lifeted up and swung around, basis was, plunging your finger into 'Kelly's Eye' (dead man's eye)... the chair swooped down and then your finger got foribly plunged into half an orange. Try playing that game at a kids' party these days and you'd bbe arrested for 'child abuse'.
9:40 pm

lbd -- I was tempted to pick wingdings as my font :D
9:40 pm
Minveryork
Hello jillibus! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
9:40 pm
Minveryork
Hello finches!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
9:41 pm
stidmama
Jill! did you see my big finish a little bit ago? I did the WHOLE grid with no list and the only clues I needed were the full count and how many RO and RE words there were!
9:41 pm
Jacula
That game scared sh*t out of me at the time. LOL
9:42 pm
lbdawger
i'm being a wingding, so figured it was appropriate for my icon today. lol
9:42 pm
stidmama
oh Jacula, that would be really scary... I don't do haunted houses.
9:42 pm
jillibus
ROFL jac!! We had a more wicked version of that game as adults, which lost us some strait-laced "friends"! It was called "goose the moose" and involved a jar of Vaseline...hehe...how vulgar...hehe!
9:42 pm
Jacula
jilli - Oh my!
9:43 pm
Jacula
*Send details of game via e-mail! LOL*
9:44 pm

9:47 pm
timhorton
thanks ib
9:48 pm
Jacula
jilli - details of that game via e-mail... reallly. I've got a wedding to go to soon. Reception games should be funny, especially, since, as I mentioned before, they are the most unlikely couple in the world, looking at them, to indulge in S&M. Your game would be light relief.
9:48 pm
timhorton
you have to go pro wvteach
9:48 pm
timhorton
then get lickety to send you babble expert
9:48 pm
wvteach
is that just the paying for the membership???? cause I done did that already
9:49 pm
jillibus
wv, first you go pro for a measly 15 bucks just once, then you email Lickety ans ask for BabbleExpert
9:49 pm
Jacula
Though I DO HOPE no s&M games will present themselves during the 'wedding lunch, boat trip and disco' 6-hour function.
9:49 pm
timhorton
oh okay then you can chage your icon if you like then we will all know you are pro
9:50 pm
wvteach
keep meaning to do that
9:50 pm
jillibus
ok jac -- and I'll send you the halloween thing too :)
9:50 pm
Jacula
Thanks, jilli.
9:50 pm
jillibus
ttfn -- gotta start supper too
9:51 pm

Enjoy your meal, jilli.

wvt - you need to fill your details in on bio, for sex and location.
9:55 pm
wvteach
okay...done the icon
9:55 pm
Jacula
Then you can do an icon and even flickr pics and fm radio if you want.
9:55 pm
Jacula
Well done, wvt.
9:56 pm
timhorton
i haven't been able to figure out flicr pics
9:56 pm
Jacula
flickr's easy, tim, if you remember to make your pics 'public'. Unfortunately, you can't make them private for a group.
9:57 pm
Jacula
Not on Babble, anyway.
9:59 pm
Jacula
Off to change my icon now. 3:58am here, Beloved is late for work.
10:01 pm
timhorton
i did it but they don't show
10:01 pm
timhorton
do i have to use the same email that i used to sign up for bable?
10:02 pm
Jacula
It's done. Fave game, which I can't find anyone to play with me since daughter's 1st b/f (still her best mate) got booted.
10:02 pm
Jacula
Note to self: ask that b'f here over Christmas for board games.

10:08 pm

10:09 pm
Jellen

10:14 pm
Jellen
se4/7 is a peasant in feudal days
10:14 pm
Jellen
pe6/21 is a bird; sounds like what the British call gasoline.
10:15 pm
Homeatlast
oooo okay, I thought I that but didn't
10:16 pm
Homeatlast
Yeah that's it I got the last one. That was the 4th time in my babbling career. Maybe someday I'll be able to do one that is more than 100 words.
10:17 pm
Jellen
Congrats, Homeatlast!!!
10:20 pm
Homeatlast

er 5/10 a mistake
10:36 pm
Jacula
angel - er5/10 is a mistake.
10:36 pm
helenkeller
i learned this last time, the scratch scabs during the night, but the eye drys, so when you open your eyes in the morning, you tear all the mending work that happened overnight
10:36 pm
Jacula
Gel eye mask is the answer overnight, Hell.
10:37 pm
Jacula
It cools the irritated eye and also get in the way of you scratching things.
10:37 pm
helenkeller
this stuff i have, you put inside the lower lid & then blink so it moves to cover whole eye
10:38 pm
helenkeller
hey, i sleep with an ice pack anyway for the hot flashes, lol
10:38 pm
helenkeller
in 5 ?
10:39 pm
Jellen
in5= not competent
10:39 pm
Jacula
Hell - I know the stuff, having had it twice when my eyes reacted badly by lsoughing off their first 2 layers of skin in response to contact lenses. It, the stuff, makes you feel blind but it soothes and settles. Also, you can see again soon.
10:39 pm
helenkeller
ok, that's describing me right now, lol, thanks jell
10:40 pm
helenkeller
oooooh jacs - that sounds awful!
10:40 pm
helenkeller

10:40 pm
helenkeller
eeeeeesh !
10:40 pm
Jellen
pe6= a bird; sounds like British gasoline
10:40 pm
Jacula
Hell - it waspretty awful but I'l tell that tale some other time.
10:41 pm
helenkeller
yes, let's save that one for another time
10:41 pm
Jacula
pe6 is a seabird.
10:41 pm
Jacula
Sounds like UK version of car fuel.

timhorton

11:00 pm
yowzerz

11:01 pm
Jacula
wi6 and 7 are an uneven gait kinda word and plural. However, think of the Christmas season and then change it after first 4 letters to short form of 'Lesley'.
11:01 pm
timhorton
wi + computer chip name with the last two letters reversed
11:01 pm
timhorton
= the plural
11:02 pm
yowzerz
thanks so much

11:07 pm
timhorton
oh sorry i thought i was looking for a url lol
11:08 pm
Jacula
Other ha;lf went off to work ages ago. Lots of text messages after that and then the last I sent him.... 'marriage 2010. Not had a reply to that.
11:08 pm
timhorton
okay i totallyyyyyyyyyyy missread you
11:09 pm
timhorton
i read that sentence and thought you had given some advice or something i had missed
11:09 pm
timhorton
i think this dog has it's days and nights mixed up
11:10 pm
Jacula
I think I had too good a talk to him when we first got ogether... I declined his marriage proposal and told him how long it might take him to get over his marriage breakig up.:( Big mistake, methinks.
11:10 pm
Jacula
Call me silly moo! That's what my tea mug reads.
11:10 pm
timhorton
are you sure he didn't faint from shock
11:12 pm
Jacula
Dunno, tim. But surely 4 and a half years is long enogh to decide or even gt a divorce?
11:13 pm
Jacula
Having said that, 10 years is my recovery time from true love.
11:13 pm
timhorton
it took me 3 years to get a divorce and it was contested
11:14 pm
Jacula
But I've done all that twice now and my lovely 'toy boy' must get thre soon, surely? Men are so much more shallow than women re love...
11:15 pm
Jacula
Also, I held up my divorce for 6 years/. LOL.
11:15 pm
timhorton
sometimes i think divorce actually means failure to them
11:15 pm
timhorton
we women once we have decided don't look back
11:16 pm
timhorton
okay well some of us then:)
11:16 pm
timhorton
i would never get a divorce again
11:17 pm
Jacula
So, tim? We don't also feel failures? But, if we do, we have a network of people, mean and women, who assure us that is not so. Because WE women talk and men don't tend to... not about that sort of stuff at least.
11:18 pm
timhorton
well i think we feel failure with the loss of love not the actual divorce
11:19 pm
timhorton
i felt like i had failed about 5 yrs before i actually divorced
11:19 pm
Jacula
Tim - I would never get a divorce again either.. which makes me cautious about marrying again. However, I have no doubts about my Love. But he's no so far into the divorce years.
11:19 pm
timhorton
i don't knopw if love is enough
11:19 pm
Jacula
Hollywood romance films have a lot to anweer for!
11:19 pm
timhorton
lol yeah
11:20 pm
timhorton
marriage is difficult
11:20 pm
Jacula
'In all of te bars in alll of the towns...' etc., etc.
11:20 pm
timhorton
i love my husband and he would never harma flea
11:21 pm
timhorton
but he doesn't even know that he hurts my feelings all the time
11:21 pm
Jacula
Or Derbra Carr abd Burt Lancaster in 'Fron Her To Eternity'.
11:22 pm
Jacula
Men do that, tim. They have no idea!
11:22 pm
timhorton
when i lived alone it was easier
11:23 pm
Jacula
Ispend a decade as a single parent, tim, and, in some ways, it was easier. But I missed having a man around and now he is around I love it!
11:24 pm
timhorton
some things are harder and some things easier
11:24 pm
Jacula
But I do get p*ssed off at times, wher's my dinner etc.
11:25 pm
timhorton
everyone here adores my husband so it would be very difficult to tell anyone how i feel
11:25 pm
timhorton
even him
11:27 pm
timhorton
so i pretty much keep it to myself
11:28 pm
Jacula
Still no reply to my text of marriage in 2010.
11:28 pm
Jacula
Guesss that says something. Dunno quite what.
11:29 pm
timhorton
i am not critisizing by any means but maybe it is somehting better said in person?
11:29 pm
Jacula
Well, I'm 12 years his senior. *shrugs*
11:29 pm
timhorton
i would wanna see his face
11:30 pm
Jacula
Tim- I've said it recently.
11:30 pm
Jacula
in person
11:30 pm
timhorton
that shouldn't matter if he loves youy
11:30 pm
Jacula
Never mind.
11:30 pm
timhorton
and what was his reaction?
11:31 pm
Jacula
is reaction ws something like'If it ain't broke, don't fix it'.
11:32 pm
Jacula
But he wanted me to marry him when we first met!MEN! Kill one every day and sell him to MacDonald's. LOL
11:34 pm
Jacula
beefcake burgers, for women. *grins8
11:34 pm
timhorton
might be too fattening though
11:35 pm
Jacula
aybe - but how do I persuade my man to get a divorce and marryy ME now?
11:36 pm
Jacula
Do I even WANt to marry him now? Yes, I love him and he is my swansong. I've decided that.
11:36 pm
timhorton
well it has been my experience you can't get men to do anything that they don't think is there idea
11:37 pm
Jacula
Hmm... I've tried p*ssing him off. LOL
11:37 pm
Jacula
I'll just start trying the 'Marriage? Are you joking?' bit AGAIN, shall I?
11:38 pm
timhorton
well just say you.ve htought about it and maybe he is right
11:38 pm

11:40 pm

11:43 pm
Jacula
I was stupid enough to into imarriage first time believing it was forever.
11:43 pm
timhorton
hi fran
11:44 pm
timhorton
me too jac i was 19 yrs old
11:45 pm
Jacula
same age her, tim
11:45 pm
tygerbryght
Jac, marriage is *supposed* to be forever. But people have to make a commitment to solve the problems that come up. One person being committed is NOT enough to make a marriage last
11:46 pm
timhorton
i stayed married for 20 yrs cause i didn't believe in divorce
11:46 pm
tygerbryght
tim, my son stayed in one of the most awful marriages I've ever seen for the kids. He is damaged, and knows it
11:47 pm
Jacula
But, I must just say something here on behalf of my ex love and husband... as an 'ex' he's been a far better husband and father.:)( dunno whether to grin or cry.
11:47 pm
tygerbryght
scary
11:48 pm
timhorton
and when i got out of my marriage i said i would never do it again lol
11:48 pm
timhorton
famous last words

Quick break here for a David Cassidy song - Coul It Be forever?

forever is a long, long time
11:51 pm
tygerbryght
I know there are wonderful marriages. My parents had one. The couple I called my foster parents also had one. Deep love, mutual respect, tenderness ... "the whole enchilada"
11:52 pm
tygerbryght
I wanted one of those
11:52 pm
dcseain
don't/didn't we all, tyger.
11:52 pm
tygerbryght
didn't get it, of course [sigh]
11:53 pm
Jacula
Bloody Hel! We in UK didn't get that version of Dabdud C's 'Cherish' thst you lot did.
11:53 pm
tygerbryght
but so long as there are such marriages in the world, it gives the rest of us hope ... or at least something to aspire to
11:54 pm
timhorton
well i am pretty sur ei have
11:54 pm
dcseain
oh? Better or worse the US version, jac?
11:54 pm
Jacula

11:57 pm
dcseain

11:57 pm
tygerbryght
I think you're right. There have been some rather short ones the past week
11:57 pm
meliae
i just had hot apple pie and french vanilla ice cream it was heavenly
11:57 pm
timhorton

11:57 pm
tygerbryght

11:58 pm
dcseain

meliae

11:58 pm
DRBERNABO
150 on the inverse prediction.
11:58 pm
tygerbryght
Mel, that sounds great. I love both of those, especially when the vanilla ice cream is *really* rich - no lo fat for me on ice cream
11:59 pm
dcseain
i'm hoping for 227, drb, and hello
11:59 pm
tygerbryght
