He has realised his Asperger Syndrome is chronically affecting his relationship with people. He just wants to be a 'normal' child.
It broke my heart when he said he didn't feel that he belonged on this planet, that he had no place like other people did.
The bullies have been attacking him covertly at school, so I made some changes in the hope he could feel less isolated

1:53 am

Mom

yes, Ata, have that one :)

2:14 am

Atalante

thats a silly word

2:15 am

FranMag

i think it has to do with wheat?

2:15 am

o-o

The feeling of being valuable--"I am a valuable person"-- is essential to mental health and a cornerstone of self-discipline. It is a direct product of parental love. Such a conviction must be gained in childhood; it is extremely difficult to acquire it during adulthood. Conversely, when children have learned through the love of their parents to feel valuable, it is almost impossible for the vicissitudes of adulthood to destroy the spirit.

2:15 am

FranMag

whaddaya know, one def is the silly one.

2:15 am

sprite

not that simple with Asperger's syndrome, BabbleRabble

3:32 am

Haz1558

The first two I have are eg4 and its plural. Looks like a slight misspelling of a keen word.

3:33 am

granadan

TY!

3:33 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

3:34 am

granadan

last two er's? Even with lickety these monkeys need replacing..

3:35 am

Haz1558

The last one that I have is the equivalent of German first. er plus an abbreviation for a canonised person.

3:35 am

granadan

ound the first one...

3:37 am

granadan

TY! Had to google canonised LOLs

3:37 am

FMitch

Morning Haz, very short and sweet grid today.

3:37 am

Haz1558

Hello FMitch - you're right there, it's a bit short for my liking.

3:38 am

Haz1558

I suppose all the early birds have been and gone?

3:38 am

FMitch

Yes, its one of those "you will go and do other things today" grids

3:38 am

granadan

and the sc6 21 is giving me nightmares. even the monkeys wont touch it. Sorry Haz, *blushes and looks stooopid*

3:38 am

granadan

no its 11 ords too long for me

3:39 am

Haz1558

That one I don't have yet, granadan.

3:39 am

FMitch

That sc6 isnt on the wordfinder ouch!

Haz1558

We're ever so creative on babble.

3:45 am

granadan

LMAO - respell the sc4 and pluralise..

3:45 am

granadan

Oh heck - you got there first -0 so engrossed in hunting for it I didnt read properly lol

3:46 am

Haz1558

You've got it now, anyway.

3:47 am

FMitch

AHaz, how did the hunt for a TV go the other day?

3:48 am

Haz1558

Well, I managed to confuse myself. I strode past what I thought were strange looking things to try to get to the 'proper' TVs.

3:49 am

FMitch

LOL sometimes you can have too much technology.

3:49 am

Haz1558

Then, light dawned that these strange looking things WERE the only TVs on offer. I kept looking for some other piece of equipment to go with them, but no, thin computer screens seem to be the thing.

3:49 am

Haz1558

My sister had done her research and was confidently talking with the salesman about digital readiness etc, I stood mesmerised.

3:49 am

FMitch

Ooooooh! and was one finally purchased?

3:50 am

Haz1558

Yes, indeed and a stand to go with it as well.

3:50 am

FMitch

and now all she needs is a degree to install it :)

3:50 am

Haz1558

I haven't heard yet how the tuning has gone, but I've heard no screams so I assume all is well.

3:51 am

Haz1558

But realy, I felt such a fool. When did TVs slim down?

3:52 am

FMitch

I think it was the Aitkins diet that did it.
Few years back now dear Haz.

3:52 am

FranMag

hi haz! hi FM! you won't recognize computer monitors anymore either haz. :-)

3:52 am

granadan

te4,5 anyone?

3:52 am

Haz1558

It just goes to show - if you don't need something and aren't really interested, new technology has a habit of changing behind your back.

3:53 am

FMitch

Hi Frannie.
I have a lovely flat one BF got me 2yrs ago.

3:53 am

Haz1558

My computer monitor is one of the slim ones. I just hadn't realised it had crept into TV land as well.

3:54 am

granadan

re5,12? Really sorry

3:55 am

Haz1558

re6/12 - re plus the start of the opposite of permanent

3:55 am

4:15 am

Lizsark

4:16 am

Haz1558

Good morning Liz. We're here to help.....

4:17 am

Lizsark

Hi FM

4:17 am

Haz1558

FMitch and Haz trudge back to their places....

4:17 am

Lizsark

By the way, in case you dont see me for a few days I may not be on for a while as my brother and family are coming to stay from this afternoon...

4:17 am

Lizsark

LOL Haz :)

4:17 am

FMitch

Passes Haz a magazine

4:17 am

Haz1558

Do you feel neglected and dejected as well, FMitch?

4:18 am

Haz1558

Oh, house-guests, that'll be fun.

4:18 am

FMitch

*sniff* it's OK Im used to it.

4:18 am

Lizsark

Awww you are not neglected LOL Its just I never did a whole grid without either asking for help or going to the list and I'm sooooo nearly there today.

4:18 am

Haz1558

Did you get therapy for it, FMitch?

4:18 am

Lizsark

You two are mad LOL

4:19 am

FMitch

Haz lets go over to Sark and stand outside Liz's shouting clues!

4:19 am

Haz1558

Yes, let's!

4:19 am

Haz1558

We could get a loud hailer.

4:19 am

Lizsark

No, Haz, that should say, "house guests? that is NOT going to be fun at all!!!!"

4:19 am

Haz1558

And paint banners.

4:19 am

Lizsark

I wish you could! I'd rather have you two here than the ones who are coming lol

4:19 am

FMitch

Wouldn't it be funny if there was a knock knock on the door now Liz you would jump a mile!

4:19 am

Haz1558

'You may not want to know this BUT.....'

4:20 am

Haz1558

I do hope your brother isn't reading the log.

4:20 am

Lizsark

*after disrupting chat and upsetting her friends, Liz dons a black hat of shame and skulks off into a corner!*

4:20 am

granadan

4:20 am

Lizsark

I would shoot through the ceiling LOL

4:21 am

granadan

Quick, haul Liz bck...

4:21 am

Haz1558

Knowing that your sister would rather have two madwomen coming to stay than you, might push him over the edge.

4:21 am

Lizsark

My brother is in flight as we speak! I am safe!

4:21 am

Haz1558

We could get a message to air traffic control.

4:22 am

Lizsark

*tears hair out and screams Nooooooooooooo*

4:22 am

Haz1558

This is an announcement for Liz's brother - 'Don't come'

4:22 am

granadan

4:22 am

FMitch

4:23 am

granadan

Sorry, just read it....

4:23 am

Lizsark

Oh thank you Granadan! Thats so kind! :) I don't go till 9th March but am training like a mad women (taking after FM and Haz obviously)

4:23 am

Haz1558

That would be good, FMitch. As long as we avoid incoming aircraft we should be okay. What's your tag?

4:24 am

FMitch

Squiggle Haz but with a capital SQ

4:24 am

Lizsark

*runs out to see if the floor is dry so I can carry on cleaning*

4:24 am

Haz1558

I'm getting Atalante to design mine - she's so creative.

4:25 am

Haz1558

Don't run on a wet floor, Liz. You might slip and fall and not be able to trek Jordan.

4:25 am

FMitch

Ask her to include a mermaid and a couple of cod, she already has a design on the go for that

4:26 am

Haz1558

I was thinking along the lines of a spaniel drinking from a Baileys bottle. Tasteful?

4:26 am

Lizsark

its dry lol Haz, I'm off to make the beds for the descending mob - catch you all later

4:26 am

FMitch

Bye Liz miss you already :)

4:26 am

Lizsark

*leaves Granadan to suffer the madness that is FM & Haz* ROFL

4:27 am

Haz1558

Oh well, if you'd rather do that than chat with us....

4:27 am

Lizsark

LOL

4:27 am

FMitch

A glitter spaniel quaffing Baileys would be bril

4:27 am

Lizsark

*poof*

4:27 am

granadan

LOL grannydan is off to scrub some kennels and feed the heir apparent...

4:27 am

Haz1558

Oh, glitter, there's a new angle I hadn't thought of.

4:28 am

FMitch

Are we scaring the nice people away Haz?

4:28 am

Haz1558

They're all leaving us, FMitch.

4:28 am

granadan

his first show is in less that 3 weeks and he is a long skinny wally at the mo

4:28 am

granadan

No, just me n Liz Fmitch!

4:28 am

Haz1558

Is this your son you're talking about, granadan?

4:28 am

granadan

no, a dachshund called Parry

4:28 am

FMitch

I thought wallys were big gherkins? Im confused and suddenly hungry?!

4:29 am

Haz1558

Could that be possible, FMitch? Us scaring people away?

4:29 am

granadan

yep - he does look like a herkin, but black and tan

4:29 am

Haz1558

Who's going to put a gherkin in a show?

4:29 am

granadan

4:29 am

FMitch

ROFL

4:30 am

Haz1558

Is it an agricultural show? A section for pickled products?

4:30 am

FMitch

granadan please don't EVER replace yr keyboard.

4:30 am

Haz1558

A spaniel drinking from a Baileys bottle might qualify in that case.

4:30 am

granadan

*unpoof* Ill pickle him if he doesnt stop piddling in the kitchen

4:30 am

Haz1558

Phone.

4:31 am

FMitch

6:01 am

Uniquity

How many bears can you get out of a coat? (Or ow many coats for a bear?)

6:02 am

carleekat

I can get if you cut carefully ( knee length grandma mink ) 4-5 bears

6:02 am

Uniquity

Wow. That's impressive!

6:02 am

carleekat

i just like the persian lamb ones for gifts...

6:03 am

LoriP

Really carlee? I wonder, I could save the coat I have, get a couple more, then mail them to you

6:03 am

carleekat

I'll reimburse u the postage lori...

6:04 am

carleekat

I hate the idea of fur coats..but.. if the fur is being "recycled" into something a child will love... then I figure is ok..is better then some furrier making another bundle making a fresh styled coat

6:04 am

LoriP

Wouldn't be much carlee. That's what I will do. Save for now and at some future date when I have a couple, mail them to ya'. Done and done!

6:05 am

carleekat

coolio... thanks

6:05 am

Uniquity

They're big, but light. Canada post wouldn't have much chance to up the price.

6:05 am

LoriP

Since you're busy right now anyways, it gives me time to stumble on to a few more.

6:05 am

LoriP

Exactly uniquity. You know because of our experience9s) it really wouldn't cost much

6:06 am

carleekat

i've been doing mosaics..I just did a small one yesterday..grouting today..will take a pic and post later when is done

6:07 am

LoriP

I'm not very creative that way. I can stay inside the lines in my coloring book though! ;-)

6:07 am

Uniquity

Carlee, you just put my cross stitches to shame :)

6:08 am

P.J.

6:08 am

carleekat

mosaic is like a constructive jigsaw puzzle ofyour own making... ( I did cross stitch for years... did loads of the paula vaughn and... there another brand..something and lace... I can't remember name..all very statuesque women in robes with flowers in hair..and they do lots of fairies too

6:09 am

carleekat

but the mosaic is a nice way to recycle a favourite old thing... grandma's good china with cracked finish... turn into a picture frame...or something...

6:11 am

Scrabbler

Neato, Carlee. I have always wanted to do that. And good morning everyone. I hit the snooze alarm 5 times and lost valuable Babble time.

6:14 am

Scrabbler

I had to take a sleeping pill--well, diphenhydramine, an antihistamine--to knock myself out. Otherwise I would have ruminated over that mtg and all that was said and all that should have been said. I gave up a few yrs ago with trying to make progress with him.

6:15 am

LoriP

We're here for you Scrabbler. We all know a happy, giving, jolly soul like him.......... (putz)

6:15 am

6:27 pm

Jacula

I grow a few dandelions in the garden for my bunny and the g/pigs. They love 'em, and the flowers. They don't get them too often though, esp. not in hot weather, as they are diuretics.

6:27 pm

Scrabbler

I guess so, Lady--they love dandelion greens--the ones with huge leaves.

6:27 pm

Jacula

Incidentally, the best way to get rid of dandelions from your garden is to regularly harvest the leaves! *sigh*

6:27 pm

herinfernallady

The rabbits would go nuts in my back yard

6:28 pm

metaleather

they're wonderful! enjoying the cool air here today. it's made them all quite mad and very active. it's like having six small elephants rampaging through the house. (I say six because mama Spot runs and plays with the babies more often than not.)

6:29 pm

Jacula

See you another time, Scrabbs. I hope you get a good price for your snowboarding equipment.

6:29 pm

herinfernallady

So cute. My back yard is covered in Dandelions

6:30 pm

Jacula

herin - just keep pulling the leaves off and they'll soon die.

6:31 pm

Jacula

metal - the kittens look v. cute. Have they started climbing your furniture and curtains yet?

6:31 pm

herinfernallady

That would be great but there is lots of them (actually maybe they are daisys, i dont know)

6:31 pm

hackerly

greetings all.. soen to my last four and having trouble with the sc 6/39 & sc 6/21.... thanks all :P

6:31 pm

Jacula

Incidentally, metal, have you seen the youtube film 'How Your Cat Wakes You Up In The Morning'?

6:31 pm

Jacula

herin - daisies look nothing like dandelions. LOL

6:32 pm

metaleather

indeed they have. we have one in particular who scales one of the door frames on a regular basis... nearly made it to the top a couple of nights ago

6:32 pm

metaleather

yes, I have seen that video... it was mentioned on a different game site I 'gammon at.

6:33 pm

herinfernallady

I dont know jac they look like weeds to me

6:33 pm

Jacula

Hello, hackerty. sc6/39 means a bit mad (extend the threaded sc5/20 with the sometimes vowel). sc6/21 means looks into a crystal ball (s + what babies do a lot).

6:33 pm

Jacula

metal - all fun and games there, then!;)

6:33 pm

hackerly

thanks Jacula :)

6:35 pm

Jacula

y/w, hackerty.

6:35 pm

Dorens

hello-- does anyone have the points total for today please?

6:35 pm

Jacula

Dorens. Hello. 587 points.

6:36 pm

Jacula

Lovely icon, Dorens!

6:36 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Dorens

6:36 pm

Dorens

ok thanks jac... means i'm missing a 5 letter e word worth 14 points., and I already have two of them... hmmmmm

6:37 pm

Dorens

yes isn't it amazing.... sunset at the north pole when the moon was close. hard to believe

6:37 pm

Jacula

Dorens - could it be the extension to er4/6 (2nd one)?

6:37 pm

Dorens

got it! thanks

6:38 pm

Jacula

y/w, Dorens. Did you take that pic yourself, btw?

6:38 pm

herinfernallady

Jac do dandeloins close at night?

6:38 pm

Dorens

(that is fireworks here, listless and no clues) oh goodness no, jac... I am neither that adventurous nor talented!

6:39 pm

Jacula

Herin - Yes. So do daisies and buttercups.

6:39 pm

herinfernallady

Dang that doesnt help.

6:39 pm

Jacula

Well done, Dorens. Off to the North Pole with you now!:D

6:39 pm

Dorens

indeed...good night all... till tomorrow

6:40 pm

Jacula

Herin - dandelions are fringey yellow flowers with leaves like rocket lettuce. Daisies have small rounded leaves are the flowers are small and white with a yellow centre.

6:41 pm

Jacula

Goodnight, Dorens.

6:41 pm

hackerly

Fireworks! Thanks all goodnight!

6:41 pm

herinfernallady

We have these yellow weed flowers in the back yard they looks like weeds

6:41 pm

Jacula

Well done, hackerty. Goodnight.

6:42 pm

metaleather

congratulations hackerly!

6:42 pm

Jacula

Herin - how tall are they? If they're very tall with yellow, open trumpetlike flowers they're probably evening primroses. (They open at night.)

6:42 pm

hackerly

thanks everyone... I like the short puzzles... I can get them done!

6:43 pm

Jacula

Herin - best way to identify your weeds is to Google images for these: dandelion, daisy, buttercup, evening primrose.

6:43 pm

Jacula

Sorry! Meant hackerly not hackerTy!

6:44 pm

hackerly

no worries

6:45 pm

Jacula

6:50 pm

aknitter

ty jac, got it

6:50 pm

herinfernallady

YEp that looks like it.

6:50 pm

Jacula

Wren - wr5/18 = a weird word for pulling a wr* smile (adjective sense). Rhymes with tr5 (attempts) or cr5 (weeps).

6:51 pm

Jacula

metal - okay!

6:51 pm

Jacula

Herin - dandelion it is then!

6:51 pm

herinfernallady

7:05 pm

mrpresident

7:05 pm

Jacula

ak - It is indeed!

7:05 pm

Cathyar

de6/30 anyone?

7:06 pm

Jacula

The test to see if you have pert boobs, in case anyone doesn't know, is to see if you can hold a pencil under one without it dropping.

7:06 pm

Jacula

If it drops - you're pert.

7:06 pm

aknitter

hold a pencil under the boobs? good lord i could pack an entire case under there

7:06 pm

Jacula

7:11 pm

aknitter

7:12 pm

7:12 pm

Jacula

7:13 pm

aknitter

men worry a lot about our bodies

7:13 pm

cumhur

7:13 pm

Gunfight at the OK Corral - Hang on. I can't go out there yet. Anyone got a mirror? Do these jeans make my bum look big?

7:13 pm

aknitter

7:13 pm

aknitter

hey they have parts that travel south too

7:13 pm

metaleather

nah Jac, it's not the jeans

7:13 pm

metaleather

it's the mirror

7:14 pm

Jacula

ak - men are shallow. We are very forgiving if they put a pound, stone whatever on. But... if we do?

7:14 pm

aknitter

dragging parabolic mirror out for jac to use ..... no not at all

7:14 pm

herinfernallady

But a great set of boobs and being blond works well in my case

7:15 pm

Jacula

My bum's fine. It's the bit of me my Other Half is forever 'meancing' - sometimes even when I'm cooking. I'll swear he must have Italian blood in him!

7:15 pm

Jacula

*googles 'parabolic mirror'.*

7:16 pm

ExWren

Hey, got the fireworks. I haven't played for over a month, so was glad to see a small grid to break me in again

7:17 pm

herinfernallady

Yah Ren

7:17 pm

Jacula

7:18 pm

yowzerz

7:32 pm

aknitter

7:32 pm

Jacula

7:32 pm

aknitter

7:32 pm

aknitter

7:35 pm

aknitter

and i am too late with the clue as usual

7:35 pm

Jacula

Still Monday there then, ak?

7:35 pm

aknitter

still monday and i would rather it was not as monday was not all that spiffy

7:36 pm

Jacula

ak - I remember sitting in the hairdresser's once and glancing up into the mirror. My mother was reflected there. Scared the sh*t out of me! lOL

7:36 pm

Jacula

Not a good day, ak? Want to talk about it/let off steam?

7:37 pm

aknitter

in order for me to become my mother i'd have to grow about 5 inches taller

7:37 pm

aknitter

i am thru steaming jac, ty just here laughing

7:37 pm

aknitter

and why are you not in bed (using motherly voice here)

7:39 pm

Jacula

My Mother is shrinking! We were once the same height (5' and nearly 2")

7:39 pm

Jacula

I'm not in bed 'cos I'm still up, ak. x

7:39 pm

aknitter

my mother is 6 feet tall and sadly i am not

7:42 pm

Jacula

ak - I don't think I'd want to be 6' tall. (Except when the last thing on the supermarket top shelf is right at the back.) I've developed a way of sorting that now, though, if no tall person is on hand to help... if ever you find a long pack of smashed biscuits or a fizzed up pop bottle... you'll know I've been in your supermarket using it to whack the top shelf item to where I can reach it. *grins*

7:43 pm

aknitter

i would love to be as tall as she is. alas i am not. i do the same top shelf trick that you do.

7:43 pm

Jacula

LOL, ak. So it's YOU I have to blame for all my broken biscuits and exploding pop.

7:44 pm

Jacula

Since I've always had a penchant for tall men, I have found being petite attracts them. They get 'all protective'. LOL. Love it!

7:45 pm

aknitter

well i would refer to it as tonic and cookies but yes

7:45 pm

Jacula

Had a bit of a panic moment last night, watching episode 3 of the new SG-Atlantis series. It seemed Ronon Dex was about to leave.

7:46 pm

Jacula

ak - Good thing about Babbling is that it makes us bi-lingual.

7:46 pm

aknitter

breath into this paper bag jac

7:46 pm

Jacula

Thanks, ak.

7:46 pm

Jacula

I'm okay now. He's staying.

7:47 pm

aknitter

i think i shall go jump into the shower and get ready for some mindless TV viewing

7:47 pm

Jacula

other Half looked at me sideways, during the programme, and said, ''Course he's not going to leave. All the women would stop watching if he did!'

7:48 pm

aknitter

got to keep those female viewers

7:49 pm

Jacula

Yup, ak. Not so mindless as X Factor viewing, I hope?

7:49 pm

aknitter

well i must be away, night Jac ..... and GO TO BEd

7:49 pm

Jacula

Go for cops netting drunken driver or something instead.

7:49 pm

aknitter

love cops

7:49 pm

Jacula

ak - I'll go when I'm tired.

7:49 pm

aknitter

bye jac

7:50 pm

Jacula

LOL, ak. Got a 'uniform and sunglasses' image there, have you? Blank ouot the belly and the doughnuts.

7:50 pm

Jacula

Bye, ak.

7:52 pm

Jacula

Hopes ak has not gone off to view some horrible show where the husband finds out on TV that his wife has 64 babies that aren't his and kills all the other lovers on camera, whilst fighting with her Mum and stabbing her stepdad, who has fathered 6 of the kids.

7:53 pm

Jacula

Gosh! I'm awfully cynical, aren't I?

7:53 pm

jillibus

Jac - the next episode of Corrie?

7:54 pm

Jacula

jilli - Hi. Dunno. Haven't watch Corrie for about 3 year now.

7:54 pm

jillibus

I still love it, jac -- come back!

7:55 pm

jillibus

Hi all

7:55 pm

Jacula

Is Ken still in it, jilli?

7:55 pm

Jacula

What's Tracey done lately?

7:56 pm

Jacula

Does Deirdre still have that horrible, stringy neck that flexes when she's upset?

7:56 pm

jillibus

Yep, Jac, and Dreary and Blanche and horrible Tracey (in deep doodoo) and the Duckworths and...well, we're 9 months behind the UK version

7:56 pm

Jacula

Has Gail finally got dressed up in S&M gear? LOL

7:57 pm

jillibus

yes -- that neck is fascinating!

7:57 pm

jillibus

Tracey has just murdered Charlie

7:58 pm

Jacula

jilli - the origin of that neck (in real life) was that Anne Kirkbride (who plays Dreary) had lymph node cancer.

7:59 pm

jillibus

Ah, I knew she had had some kind of cancer years ago and hadn't noticed the neck before then

7:59 pm

Jacula

jilli - The female version of Damien has just murdered Charlie? MY! You are behind! I must've watch an episode or 2 more recently than you.

8:00 pm

Has Fizz netted her man yet?

8:01 pm

Jacula

I hated Fizz when she first came into the series, but since she took her bra off on the factory roof, I've warmed to her. LOL.

8:01 pm

jillibus

Netted? No wedding yet, I think -- but I missed some episodes a little while ago

8:02 pm

Jacula

I still have no idea why Fizz would want Kirk! LOL.

8:02 pm

jillibus

wooo! I think I missed THAT episode too! She's OK. Can't stand Cilla though

8:02 pm

cumhur

e4/5

8:02 pm

Jacula

cum - there is no e4/5.

8:03 pm

jillibus

Too right -- Kirk is so clueless, but we don't know what's under the surface ;D

8:03 pm

Jacula

Cilla's horrible!

8:03 pm

cumhur

jac e* right side e

8:03 pm

Jacula

jilli - not sur yet if there IS more than a surface layer to Kirk.

8:03 pm

jillibus

I did read that Les (the actor) has been fired recently

8:04 pm

jillibus

I'm thinkin of under the clothes...

8:04 pm

Jacula

eg4/6 - sounds like one prowling the boundary.

8:04 pm

stevedallas

fireworks

8:04 pm

Jacula

jilli! I am shocked!

8:05 pm

jillibus

YAY steve!!!

8:05 pm

Jacula

Erm... he doesn't look very 'manly'.

8:05 pm

jillibus

Like fun you are, jac

8:05 pm

Jacula

Well done, steve. Whoever you are and wherever you sprang from.

8:06 pm

Jacula

Why has Les been sacked?

8:06 pm

jillibus

Drunk and disorderly or something, I think

8:07 pm

Jacula

Figures. Bruce, the actor, can sometimes do that.

8:08 pm

jillibus

Will there be another murder on the show? Or will he and Cilla disappear to Lower Slobbovia?

8:08 pm

Jacula

Corrie still maintains the old discipline that if their actors act out of character in their personal lives... *draws imaginary knife under throat*.

8:09 pm

jillibus

Well, D&D is pretty much in character for Les on a bad day, n'est-ce pas?

8:09 pm

Jacula

jilli - I think the show is aout due for another major disaster rather than a murder. What form will that disastter take?

8:10 pm

Jacula

For Bruce, too, so I believe, jilli.

8:10 pm

jillibus

hmmm -- well, you're the script writer -- how would you do it?

8:10 pm

Jacula

*Thinks*, not having watching show recently. Big cull in order?

8:11 pm

jillibus

I've heard that's in the cards

8:12 pm

Jacula

Given the time of year... coach trip to the Blackpool Illuminations... crash.. major tragedy.

8:12 pm

jillibus

Manchester isn't in an earthquake zone...not easily flooded....not a target for an Iranian nuclear bomb....

8:13 pm

Jacula

Gets rid of adults who want to leave, one or two who don't plus any kids that need to concentrate more on school now.

8:13 pm

jillibus

hmmm -- good thinking, jac

8:13 pm

inge

Well, I dressed my icon with the UN Building in Vienna, where a college classmate of mine works

Scrabbler

Hello all---I made $250 selling used snowboarding equipment to the local shop.

8:14 pm

jillibus

hi inge and scrabbler

8:15 pm

Jacula

jilli - you'd be surprised where earthquakes happen here in UK and Manchester still as many old buildings that would succummb to what might seem like a minor earthquake to you in USA, with the traffic rumbling past that's weakened the buildings also.

8:15 pm

inge

Guten Abend, Scrabbler. You might need it in a couple of months

8:15 pm

Scrabbler

I like your icon, Jill.

8:16 pm

jillibus

inge, my mother and I lived within walking distance of the new NYC UN building in 1946

8:16 pm

Scrabbler

My nephews have stuff that fits them now that they are all teenagers. I sold the old, smaller stuff. And I have cross-country skis for me.

8:16 pm

Jacula

Scrabbs - well sold!

8:16 pm

featherbee

hi there scrabbler...i tried to do my turn, but the site was wonky. will try again later.

8:16 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, Jacula---the stuff is out of my cellar and I have $.

8:17 pm

Scrabbler

OK, Feather. I am trying to stay in the game, but my tiles suck and the board is very "tight". I have to be defensive too.

8:17 pm

jillibus

jac -- meant to say I admire your icon -- and it makes me wonder what happened to babbler ankhorite

8:17 pm

Jacula

jilli - Machester can also be flooded, as can most of UK (se my flickr pics) and no one knows where terrorists might strike.

8:18 pm

featherbee

tight is an understatement!

8:18 pm

jillibus

OK, OK, jac!

8:18 pm

Scrabbler

Ankhorite always had a hamster icon, and some very cute ones.

8:18 pm

jillibus

jac, my cousin in Stow-on-the-Wold was spared this year's flooding

8:19 pm

Jacula

I see I made my point, jilli. LOL.

8:19 pm

Scrabbler

Off to be for me. I am exhausted! I shall see everyone tomorrow.

8:19 pm

featherbee

got it to work!

8:20 pm

Jacula

Enjoy being you, Scrabbs!

8:20 pm

Jacula

jilli - glad to hear it!

8:20 pm

jillibus

but jac, I'm not in the USA, but in an earthquake zone. Thank goodness not in Southern California just now, with those wildfires I heard may have been set my an arsonist, ugh.

8:21 pm

golfer

sixes please

8:21 pm

jillibus

bye scrabs -- look forward to your return...

8:21 pm

Scrabbler

I do, Jacula, although Dr Richard Head threw many barbs my way last night during our mtg. He is a real study in psychopathology and defense mechanisms--he has an answer for everything. I wish everyone here could observe him.

8:21 pm

inge

a while back the question for Ankhorite was raised also, and someone actually knew what she was doing. I forgot. I alos heard some babblers were offended by her hamster treatments. Geez, those were just photos

8:21 pm

Jacula

jilli - no, you're in Canada. I'm sorry for including you with USA, over The Pond. As for the arsonists... what kind of mentality does that?

8:22 pm

Jacula

Psychiatrist Babblers or criminal profiler players please enlighten us?

8:22 pm

jillibus

WAY over the Pond now -- Canada's west coast

8:22 pm

Scrabbler

P.S. I survived my gyn visit today.

8:22 pm

inge

OK time to turn in. Gute Nacht, babbler family. Bis morgen

8:23 pm

jillibus

Stiff upper lip, Scrb?

8:23 pm

Jacula

Sorry, for my geographical faux pas, jilli.

8:23 pm

jillibus

Nm, jac!

8:23 pm

Scrabbler

LOL, Jill! I asked him to use the Barbie speculum, LOL

8:24 pm

jillibus

hehe scrab

8:24 pm

Scrabbler

OK, off to sleep now.

8:24 pm

Jacula

inge - I sent your post via e-mail to Haz earlier. She now understands why you took offence Will make thingds right between yopu, a.s.a.p. xx

8:27 pm

Jacula

Scrabbs - what the heck is a Barbie speculum? I do know what a speculum is, btw.

8:28 pm

Jacula

Why am I asking her that? Shhe's gone off to bed now.

8:29 pm

jillibus

I think Scrabs has gone to bed -- my guess is that it exists just the same way as Barbie's parts do.

8:29 pm

Jacula

'Night, Miz.

8:30 pm

Jacula

jilli - I now have some kind of porno image in my mind to try to sleep on.

Krista

I actually got fireworks today..a rarity (still haven't installed the video version darn it)

8:35 pm

mkg

krista how about a clue for the sc six words???????

8:35 pm

Jacula

sc6/39 adds the sometimes vowel to the thread sc5/20 before it. sc6/21 means 'looks into a crystal ball' or try s + c that a baby does... lots and lots if it wants something.

8:35 pm

jillibus

back and refreshed

8:36 pm

Jacula

Welcome back, jilli. An, Krista - no, I don't want to Google 'Barbie speculum'.

8:37 pm

Jacula

mkg - I clued those for you. Read back!

8:37 pm

Krista

there ya go, mkg..Jac did it

8:37 pm

golfer

de6/21 please

8:38 pm

Krista

He (?) asked before your clues showed up.

8:38 pm

Jacula

Someone else give this clue... PLEASE.

8:39 pm

Jacula

I'm going to have to put the clue in my bio otherwise, as was suggested earlier.

8:39 pm

mkg

ty jac...........got them and firewrks

8:39 pm

Krista

to remove the husk from a grain

8:40 pm

Jacula

Welll done, mkg and thanks for not making me say it again.

8:40 pm

jillibus

googling barbie speculum comes up with some funny stuff, lol

8:40 pm

Krista

or, not the actual meaning, but "to remove bacteria"

8:41 pm

Krista

Yes, I thought so too, Jilli!

8:41 pm

Jacula

golfer - de6 = to remove those nasty, disease-making bugs.

8:41 pm

jillibus

haha krista -- so you did it too!

8:41 pm

Krista

(my clues were for you, Golfer)

8:41 pm

Jacula

jilli - Well, I didn't.

8:42 pm

jillibus

8:42 pm

golfer

8:42 pm

Krista

Oh, you were probably getting your vodka when I told Jac she should Google it (did ya get me some?)

8:42 pm

Jacula

I'm not that interested in seeing what I think I might see re Barbie.

8:43 pm

jillibus

no, I saw that, krista -- I had submitted my guess as to the meaning before googling

8:43 pm

jillibus

oh jac, it's hilarious!

8:44 pm

Krista

Just scrolled down..yep, you were right, Jilli!

8:45 pm

Krista

Sorry golfer..add s to the de 5/12

8:45 pm

jillibus

I didn't go to any of the sites -- just some of the descriptions were off the wall

8:45 pm

Krista

Do you need that one?

8:45 pm

Krista

same here, Jilli..I was scared to click on "images" :)

8:45 pm

Jacula

I've been more amused by the cat waking you up video from youtube this past few days. We've never allowed our cats access to the bedroom anyway - not that that stopped 'desperate to leave the house for the night, Hunting Cat, earlier... when I was 'on my throne, magazine in hand, door locked... he smashed handle down, unlocking handle lock and burst in to tell me, yet again, that he wanted to go outside.

8:46 pm

never even considered that, krista, lol!

8:47 pm

There was a video going around of a cat flushing a toilet, too...

8:48 pm

Bloody cat!

jillibus

kbckc, it's been clued several times -- just scroll back a bit

Jacula

Not biggest moron on the planet, MrP. I almost got that award myself, had I told anyone and not ripped skin in order not to... I glued myself to a smiley face outside my back door.

9:00 pm

mrpresidents that reminds of the movie When a Man Loves a Woman. Meg Ryan's character tells of a time when she locked herself out of the house in the nude.

9:00 pm

9:01 pm

Jacula

MrP sounds like me now! I had the same gear on when I got stuck to the 'smiley'. Oh, LOL.

9:01 pm

mrpresident

9:18 pm

licketySplitAUS

That's why I've never understood why so many guys like looking at magazines and videos etc. If you can't have it why punish yourself - Better yet go live it.

9:19 pm

licketySplitAUS

Unfortunately jacula I'm about an hour away. Mrp - oh yeah - now that's getting more like it!

Book Doctor Gwen

9:34 pm

relarion

You should revise it, all of Babbleland wants to know :=)

9:34 pm

mrpresident

ok, will do!

9:34 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

anyone here tried the new beta game over at weboggle? easy to win since it is beta and there aren't a lot of players yet. also you can suggest a name for the new game, ifyou want

9:34 pm

licketySplitAUS

Well, I'm off to have lunch, Please everyone continue to warm up mrp after her little adventure. See ya at the flip. Hope you didn't strain your arm mrp.

We'll take care of her L.

9:35 pm

lbdawger

bye lickety

9:35 pm

GreyWoulf

Btw, I have the movie Happy Feet on in the background here --- what a cool flick! Though I find it a bit annoying that the best musicals these days are all animated

9:35 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

see y'all soon, off to mess around at weboggle now . . . *poink!*

9:36 pm

mrpresident

thanks lickety... am comfortable numb now. Got the heat pack on the arm. See you later!

9:37 pm

mrpresident

yay monkey!

9:38 pm

GreyWoulf

Lickety -- I am talking about full musical with complete choreography and dance routines that work to help convey the plot

9:45 pm

Jacula

Gwen - yes, tried the new Webogle out earlier.

9:46 pm

Jacula

Lickty - chat never goes 'south@? You obvously didn't read all the achrives. LOL

9:47 pm

Jacula

Oh, and how come I've suddenly become the one 'responsible' for getting someone up for work when his alarm goes off at 3am? LOL

9:47 pm

Jacula

Sorry for typing errors. Tired!

9:48 pm

Jacula

Anyway, Mr Gumpy's gone off to work now and not without pinching my bum... yet again. *grins*

9:48 pm

Jacula

*GRumpy

9:51 pm

Jacula

Most of the 'best' films seem to be mostly animated or animatronic now, Wolfie. Bring back 1940s Hollywood is what I say!

9:52 pm

Jacula

Team Babble on weboggle is great when we get together. We're unbeatable.

9:52 pm

Jacula

Seem to be talking to myself now.

9:53 pm

relarion

Hi Jacula :=)

9:53 pm

GreyWoulf

that is my biggest problem with modern cinema, Jac -- the production companies are too in love with their computer graphics departmet -- it is almost as if they are afraid of having to deal with live people anymore for anything other than line delivery

9:53 pm

Jacula

Hi, relarion. I'm not all alone then.

9:54 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - That's what I feel, too.

9:54 pm

relarion

No Jac! I have 12 left, trying to finish and go watch TV.

9:55 pm

Jacula

Live peope cost more, and have emotons, which cause production problems, Wolfie.

9:55 pm

GreyWoulf

and this is bad, why?

9:55 pm

relarion

I think you mean "emoticons" Jacula ;)

9:56 pm

GreyWoulf

after all, doesn't the audience consist of live people who have emotions

9:56 pm

Jacula

Or even emotions. LOL. Though I guess the 'overweight' ones (more than size 0) might be the ones with emotons!

9:56 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - just the point I was getting to.

9:57 pm

mrpresident

back again... lunch was nice!

9:57 pm

Jacula

Today's world seems to be mostly about money, wolfie.

9:57 pm

relarion

HI again mrpres. Glad lunch worked for you.

9:57 pm

Jacula

MrP. What did you eat?

9:58 pm

Jacula

BTW, MRP, my P says you and me are 'tarta' but he means it in the nicest possible way.;)

9:59 pm

Jacula

*tarts not tarta.

9:59 pm

mrpresident

woulf, maddison and I went to see a ballet that came from NYC... "Grandivas - Men in Tutus" It was just spectaculor! I must say I much prefer theatre to movies. Hollywood are bringing out 18 movies a month! Very sad. I prefer when it was 2 movies a month and alot of thought was put into it

9:59 pm

mrpresident

Paul is right!

10:00 pm

Jacula

MrP - Yup! In the nicest possible way. We love our men.

10:00 pm

mrpresident

We do! they bring out the tartiness in us! :))

10:01 pm

Jacula

We brunettes are sensational, aren't we, MrP? Don't ask us to visit you... I won't take the risk, LOL.

10:01 pm

GreyWoulf

but my biggest problem with theatre is the cost, otherwise I would love to attend on a regular basis

10:01 pm

mrpresident

I think there is nothing more romantic and loving than a man who makes you feel sexy and beautiful... that is true love

10:01 pm

Jacula

It is indeed, MrP. That's the key to it all.

10:02 pm

mrpresident

oh yes woulf! we BOTH paid $90 a ticket... that is each!!! It is soooo expensive, but worth it a couple of times a year

10:03 pm

mrpresident

LOL jac! if you visited us, we would never ever sleep! it would be 20 bottles of wine a day and laughing our asses off!

10:03 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - Have you tried going to local theatres and Amateur Dramtic productions? Our 'Am Dram' group were pretty awful 20 odd years ago, though they'd been going since the 50s. They're so slick and good now.

10:03 pm

mrpresident

mind you! you are always welcome!

10:04 pm

Jacula

MrP - don't tempt me! Jus t knocked my very last glass of white over and am now poaching P's red wine. I will regret that later when I have to focus to work.

10:04 pm

GreyWoulf

seems to me that after 20 bottles of wine, you couldn't avoid the sleeping!

10:04 pm

mrpresident

LOL! you are a little vixen jac!

10:05 pm

mrpresident

I just realised something cool... I have been here for 2 years! chatting with you beautiful people almost every day!
It is nice to have friends like you. After 2 years, it feels like family

10:06 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - 20 bottles of wine divided by 4 = 5 bottles of wine each. Yeah, sleeping, after crashing around and bruising yourself and wrecking most breakable things in the house might be an option.

10:06 pm

Jacula

MrP - same here. ((HUGS))

10:06 pm

GreyWoulf

holy crow! my two year babble anniversary is tomorrow!

10:06 pm

relarion

How lovely, mrpres. The Babble group is so nice.

10:07 pm

mrpresident

((( hugs ))) !!! our anniversary has to be celebrated!!

10:07 pm

Jacula

Happy 2nd annivrsary, Wolfie.

10:07 pm

mrpresident

oh relarion! it is the nicest group on the net! We are blessed :D

10:07 pm

mrpresident

happy 2nd anniversary woulf and jac!

10:08 pm

mrpresident

relarion, let me tell you how wonderful babblers are....

10:08 pm

GreyWoulf

definite family... I don't want to consider how bland the net would be if I could never 'see' my fellow Babbleonians

10:08 pm

relarion

Definitely, mrpresident!

10:08 pm

Jacula

Actually, if I'd consumed 5 bottles of wine I doubt I could even get up to cras into anything.

10:08 pm

rururocks

wow this is an r rated chat tonight

10:08 pm

Jacula

Or even crasH. Oh lol.

10:09 pm

You are such a lovely lady! You sent me a CD that I love listening to in the car! It is just wonderful and it cheers me up!
Joso is sending me a box of comics for my son to help him with is asperger!
I can't begin to tell you how lovely and kind and caring people on babble are.
Thank you all

10:10 pm

GreyWoulf

Jac -- it refers to the movie rating system utilised in the US

10:10 pm

Jacula

rel - sc6/21 means 'looks into a crytal ball'. s + what a baby does... lots.

10:10 pm

rururocks

10:12 pm

Jacula

filM.

10:12 pm

Jacula

Ratings have changed now.

10:12 pm

rururocks

not X is a bit heavier

10:13 pm

Jacula

Thin 'r' may be 'pa' here? Parental Advisory.

10:13 pm

rururocks

not that I have watched any or anything ...

10:13 pm

rururocks

yes jac

10:13 pm

Jacula

Or maybe 15 and over. LOL

10:14 pm

mrpresident

X is porn here... R is over 18, M+15 is over 15, M is with parental supervision, PG is parental guidance, and G... well you can take your goat to a G film

10:14 pm

GreyWoulf

the rating system here is G, PG, R, NC-17, and X

10:14 pm

Jacula

Never watched an 'x', ruru? You've not lived! LOL

10:14 pm

rururocks

baaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

10:15 pm

rururocks

I just hate seeing men explotied like that

10:15 pm

rururocks

lol

10:15 pm

rururocks

exploited

10:15 pm

GreyWoulf

8-D

10:15 pm

Jacula

The Exorcist got banned here for years! I was one of the ones that watched it when it first came out (I was about 14 or 15, I think?)

10:15 pm

mrpresident

LOL ruru!

10:16 pm

rururocks

now that was a creepy movie

10:16 pm

mrpresident

the exorcist is one of the scariest movies ever!

10:16 pm

Jacula

ruru - Oh, LOL. You mean those awful moustaches they have to sport?

10:16 pm

rururocks

absolute;y

10:16 pm

GreyWoulf

I have never seen the Exorcist in its entirety

10:16 pm

relarion

I stood in line for an hour in the freezing New York cold to see the exorcist. Had such nightmares that night.

10:17 pm

rururocks

me too

10:17 pm

mrpresident

same here woulf, I just can't watch it... same as Amityville Horror... too freaky

10:17 pm

Jacula

The Exorcist (orignal version) is on my film shelves now, but not put there by me! I never want to see it again. Gave me nightmares.

10:17 pm

GreyWoulf

Nor have I seen the Amityville Horror, despite my cousins living only a few blocks away from the real house

10:17 pm

rururocks

I can't watch any Linda Blair movie thereafter

10:17 pm

rururocks

ewwwwww

10:18 pm

relarion

Fireworks!

10:18 pm

rururocks

yeah rel************

10:18 pm

rururocks

cute doggy

10:18 pm

GreyWoulf

my problem, mrp, is that I just don't ever have the time to see it

10:19 pm

GreyWoulf

Yayyy for Rel!!!

10:19 pm

Jacula

Amityville Horror (1st) was also pretty nightmareish. Today's kids are far harder than we were. They're all looking forward to 'Saw 4'. Didn't even see no.1 after my darling daughter described plot to me. I can READ anything, but not watch stuff. I'm such a wimp!

10:19 pm

mrpresident

the worst thing about amityville horror.... after watching that, I woke up every night at 3.15am... and it freaked me out!
Then, I would find my pyjamas folded neatly at the foot of my bed... the pyjamas I had put on when I went to bed.

10:19 pm

rururocks

lol

10:19 pm

relarion

I love your doggie ru, you must be the proudest papa.

10:20 pm

rururocks

yes

10:20 pm

rururocks

he is the greatest ever

10:20 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - does your cousin have nightmares? Has your cousin watched the film?

10:20 pm

rururocks

famous too

10:20 pm

mrpresident

I love my woofie too! will go get her pic

10:21 pm

saintfranny

just coming in and hearing the discussion - Uh - MrP - you're freaking me out!

10:21 pm

rururocks

bbl got to cook din din

10:21 pm

relarion

Is that the sheltie mrpres?

10:21 pm

GreyWoulf

My cousins saw the film and weren't all that impressed -- heck, 20 years ago they used to have an annual Halloween party in the house

10:22 pm

saintfranny

I LOVE scary movies though... my faves are 70's era British ones...

10:22 pm

Jacula

Carrie was a pretty scarey film in its time, too. Thing is, I'd read the book before I saw the film so I was the only one in the cinema who didn't jump a mile in the air at the end.

10:22 pm

relarion

Bye ru. I'm sliding on out of here too.

10:22 pm

relarion

I thought The Ring was really scary.

10:23 pm

GreyWoulf

rel -- now that is the only movie I have seen in twenty years that truly creeped me out!

10:23 pm

Jacula

saintfranny - if you'd been in the chatlog an hour ago, you'd have seen MrP setting the scene for a lurve movie with her hubby.

10:23 pm

Uneaixoise

my ex and I saw the Exorcist when it first came out--I was totally traumatized--when we got home and I went in the bathroom, "as a joke" he flipped off the power . . .

10:23 pm

relarion

Yeah Woulf...I hated the horse part. It had a really good payoff though.

10:23 pm

GreyWoulf

and apparently, the original Japanese film that it is based on, 'Ringu', is even more intense

10:23 pm

saintfranny

There is a show on TLC here called "A Haunting" - dramatizations of real life hauntings. Luv it. Also a new one from Canada called "Rescue Mediums" - wow!

10:24 pm

saintfranny

ahhhhh ok Jac. *blushing*

10:24 pm

Uneaixoise

I threatened to kill him with nail scissors if he tried to come in

10:24 pm

relarion

Really, Woulf! Wow. Hard to imagine.

10:24 pm

GreyWoulf

rel -- my favorite part was when her son says "You didn't let her out!"

10:24 pm

relarion

My husband sometimes jumps out of the dark and scares me "just for fun."

10:25 pm

relarion

Hmm woulf, am blanking...

10:25 pm

saintfranny

Ever see "Blair Witch"? my husband thought it would be "funny" to, while I left the room, to go stand in the corner of the room facing the wall, so when I came back, he was just standing there like that. NOT FUNNY

10:25 pm

Uneaixoise

I was NOT amused!

10:25 pm

Uneaixoise

oh, jeez!

10:25 pm

relarion

saintfranny, literally lol imagining that

10:25 pm

Jacula

There's a 'psycho' shower curtain available on line to by. It feature's the 'old' lady with knife raised.... just what you want to see at that moment when the shampoo's in your eyes, isn't it?

10:26 pm

saintfranny

:) well... i mean, it Is funny, but at the moment, OMG - we had just seen it, and i Freaked

10:26 pm

GreyWoulf

That is where the Japanese influence really carried over, because in western belief systems, finding the physical remains of a ghost and then burying them in sanctified ground is supposed to put the troubled spirit to rest

10:26 pm

relarion

Of course you freaked! Yikes.

10:26 pm

jillibus

Good heavens! Just got back from dinner to find Jacula still here at what must be about 4:30 am in the UK!

10:26 pm

Uneaixoise

my buddies and I saw Psycho on my 11th bday--my dad took us--he thought it was VERTIGO--was totally terrified!!!!

10:27 pm

relarion

Une, saw it with my mom and kept burying my head in her fur coat.

10:27 pm

Jacula

Oh, and if you want a real bellly laugh, try putting blaaderwrack ( a kind of seaweed) in your beloved's shower water (if they put the plug in) after they've watched 'Jaws'. LOL

10:28 pm

Uneaixoise

i locked the bathroom door for over a year . . . and kept jumping out of the tub to be sure it was still locked!!!!!

10:28 pm

mrpresident

ok, back... hi une! :)

10:28 pm

relarion

That's so cute une.

10:28 pm

mrpresident

hi franny! :)

10:28 pm

Uneaixoise

hey, mrp!!

10:29 pm

GreyWoulf

I have to admit, I never was one for horror films when I was younger, but once I was in college, I finally started trying to get caught up

10:29 pm

relarion

Nitenite everyone.

10:29 pm

Jacula

But will these new animated films still have scarey powers so many years on?

10:29 pm

Jacula

I doubt it.

10:29 pm

mrpresident

nitenite rela! have a good sleep! :)

10:29 pm

Uneaixoise

gotta run--SWEET DREAMS, EVERYONE . . . Bwahhhaahhhaa

Surely everyone 12/13 reads horror stories??

10:31 pm

Jacula

'Bye, Une.

10:31 pm

GreyWoulf

Jac -- I read horror, but classic horror such as Edgar Allan Poe and H P Lovecraft

10:31 pm

Jacula

Le Faneau, too, Wolfie?

10:32 pm

GreyWoulf

g'nite rel and une!

10:32 pm

jillibus

I was 14 when I used to go with pals to horror movies and I remember one scene with zombies rising out of the sea -- and that's all

10:32 pm

jillibus

But oh, Poe!!!

10:33 pm

GreyWoulf

nope, haven't read Le Faneau -- truthfully, I read horror for only about a year and then swapped over to primarily SF and Fantasy

10:33 pm

Jacula

Yes, fascination with horror is noral at 112/13 Problem these days is that it's acted out through pc games and then sometimes into life. The border between fantasy and reality has become blurred or non-existant for some.

10:34 pm

jillibus

Jac, you ignored my question about your still being up at this hour

10:34 pm

saintfranny

my only experience with SF is Robert Heinlein

10:34 pm

GreyWoulf

That's when I truly discovered that a solid base in the classics of literature are a necessity, because so much of the SF of the 60's and 70's had storylines inspired by them

10:34 pm

Jacula

jilli - I didn't. I said that I was still up because i'm not in bed yet.

10:34 pm

saintfranny

in high school i was in a real Stephen King groove - read Everything.. finally, one of them pushed me over the limit - i know it involved a lawnmower - never read one again

10:34 pm

Jacula

Check back, jilli.

10:35 pm

GreyWoulf

franny -- I have read all but three books by Heinlein -- In college Stranger in a Strange Land was my Bible

10:35 pm

jillibus

I loved the book by Clifford Simak called "city", when the world was run by DOGS

10:35 pm

Jacula

Pet Semetary wasthe one too far for me, saintfranny! Nightmaresville!

10:35 pm

saintfranny

yes, a friend introduced me to SIASL when we first met. I *grokked* it easily

10:36 pm

Jacula

I haven't stopped reading Sk's bookss though.

10:36 pm

GreyWoulf

Simak is another of my favs -- I just finished rereading "The Fellowship of the Talisman" two days ago and am about to do the same with City

10:37 pm

jillibus

Glad to hear that, GW!

10:37 pm

saintfranny

what category does Richard Bach fall into? i like his stuff a lot

10:38 pm

Jacula

James Herbert's 'Magic Cottage' is well worth a weekedn rea. Kept me and P reading on our holiday together a year or two ago.

10:38 pm

GreyWoulf

For a long time I considered the Holy Trinity of SF to be Asimov, Bradbury, and Clarke with Heinlein as their Prophet and other classic authors such as Ellison and Simak to be their apostles

10:38 pm

jillibus

I think I've only read one or two SK books -- early ones. Enuf awreddy

10:38 pm

RockyMtnHi

Good evening all...

10:39 pm

mrpresident

hi rocky :)

10:39 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - I once thought that, too, re authors... but then it expands.

10:39 pm

jillibus

It's so long ago that I read SF -- preferred writers with a sense of humour and can't remember who they were.

10:39 pm

jillibus

Hi Rocky

10:40 pm

RockyMtnHi

So, you all are discussing SF. I'm reading The Forge of God now.

10:40 pm

Jacula

jilli - I preer sense of humour authors, also.

10:40 pm

Jacula

Sometimes, though, that is to be found lurking in the writing.

10:40 pm

GreyWoulf

let's see, jilli -- that was one of my criteria for awhile -- Fredric Brown was great

10:41 pm

GreyWoulf

and Simak definitely helped to set the standard

10:42 pm

Jacula

Most successful SF writers do not take themselves seriously.

10:42 pm

Jacula

Thank the Lord!

10:42 pm

GreyWoulf

I also loved Gordon Dickson's 'The Dragon and the George'

10:42 pm

jillibus

Amen!

10:43 pm

Jacula

jilli.;0

10:43 pm

jillibus

About Jacula's remark -- haven't read the Dragon but I might have a look

10:44 pm

GreyWoulf

jilli - it started out as a short story, which was very good, but then he expanded it into a novel which was absolutely great -- he then went on to turn it into a series of novel

10:45 pm

GreyWoulf

Of course, my favorite supporting character in the first novel, who didn't appear in the short story, is Aargh -- the English Wolf

10:45 pm

Jacula

Speaking of famous writers, I guess you lot have all heard by now, if you hadn't guessed already that JKR's hero, Dumbledore, is 'gay'?

10:46 pm

Jacula

I only mention it because it was mentioned in the papers after she said it. It was a 'given', from the start, wasn't it?

10:47 pm

GreyWoulf

personally, it doesn't matter to me

10:47 pm

Jacula

Surely only 'that kind' of wizard coud have wisely controlled such a school

10:48 pm

jillibus

same here about Dumbledore -- why bother

10:48 pm

sallyds

Can anyone clue the DE6/30?

10:48 pm

GreyWoulf

I truly don't understand the importance that society places on a person's race, creed, and/or sexuality -- especially in a work of fiction, unless it is relevant to the plot

10:49 pm

GreyWoulf

to remove infectious microbes, sally

diem

at last Fireworks

10:49 pm

GreyWoulf

Yayyy for diem!!

10:49 pm

jillibus

It will only provoke the idot fringe who wants the books banned because they "promote evil wizardry" and "satanic cults", ach.

10:50 pm

sallyds

Good grief, that's a word? Who would have thought?

10:50 pm

jillibus

YAY diem!!!

10:51 pm

GreyWoulf

welcome to the enable dictionary where that words that don't make sense are, and words that should be aren't!!

10:51 pm

GreyWoulf

the, not that

10:51 pm

diem

ths all got to go to work(nightshift)bye

10:52 pm

Jacula

I'm off to sleep now, at long last. eaving with Dumbldore in mind, It didn't matter, why are you all so upst about it? But it was relevant to him doing what he did. He was a hero. *Exit to Freddie Mercury's version of the BritishNational Anthem

10:52 pm

mrpresident

a persons race/sexuality/belief is so important in today's society! look at how many people are being belittled.
I just have to go to my children's school to see what an impact it has on society. They are very 'concerned' about it and pick on eachother for it.
as adults, we hardly ever comment, but when we do, it is a big deal... for children, it is an everyday assult

10:52 pm

GreyWoulf

have a good night, diem

10:53 pm

jillibus

jac -- who's upset? Not me

10:53 pm

mrpresident

nite jac
work well diem

10:53 pm

GreyWoulf

mrp -- there is a HUGE uproar around here because of a video that was shown in a few elementary schools on the subject of family

10:53 pm

Jacula

MrP the term 'gay', which once meant happy or bright, is now an insult. That's v. sad.

10:54 pm

jillibus

all of a sudden I have something stupid coming in on my c omputer's speakers...

10:54 pm

jillibus

must reboot I guess

10:54 pm

GreyWoulf

The producers of the video dared to include some non standard examples of family with either two dads or two moms

10:54 pm

Jacula

I must go now. Knackered!

10:54 pm

mrpresident

absolutely jac! my husband told the kids he was singing a gay song.... they were upset cause they thought he was going to sing about homosexuals! And they thought that was not PC!

10:55 pm

GreyWoulf

The local parents forced a public hearing to get the video removed

10:55 pm

mrpresident

GW, that happened here with a school that read books to kids about same sex families... the school got a beating

10:56 pm

GreyWoulf

I don't understand closed minds like that -- would they rather their children get misinformation from their classmates and the uncontrolled access to info on the internet?

10:57 pm

mrpresident

it is important to teach kids to tolerate... cause they don't tolerate anything!
I was explaining to babblers the other night about my son being bullied and put down because of his asperger. If the school would 'educate' the kids about differences, we wouldn't have to cry for my son

10:57 pm

mrpresident

oh yes gw! reminds me of something else that happened to my daughter

10:57 pm

Jacula

http://tinyurl.com/32f4z7

10:58 pm

mrpresident

as we all know, she is an angel from heaven, put here on earth to love us and teach us to care for eachother.... so, I tell you this with a heavy heart

10:59 pm

mrpresident

my daughter and her friend, Diana, were playing around... Maddison was trying to kiss her on the cheek and Diana was trying to run away, but laughing and joking about it (these kids are 9).

10:59 pm

jillibus

One of the things which disgusted me about those recent trolls was their choice of epithets -- "you're so GAY" being one of them.

11:00 pm

mrpresident

Another of her friends comes up to her and tells her that what she is doing is 'raping' her friend... and Maddison says, it is just fun, we are playing...
Her 'idiot' friend says to her that she is pretend raping Diana!!

11:01 pm

GreyWoulf

OMG!! That is ridiculous!

11:01 pm

mrpresident

I wanted to kill that child!
I had to explain to my daughter what rape was, and to tell her there is no such thing as 'pretend rape'.... that is is very serious and a crime.
She was crying cause she though she had commited rape!
I am going to thump that bloody child who told her that!

11:01 pm

jillibus

do 9-yr-olds have any idea what that means?

11:02 pm

mrpresident

jilli, the shit that kids come out with amazes me!

11:02 pm

Jacula

http://tinyurl.com/create.php - My belovee Freddie's version of the growing up song.

11:02 pm

mrpresident

once I explained it to Maddison, she knew she had done nothing of the sort

11:03 pm

jillibus

well, I guess they listen to eminem and such instead of reading Kipling and Dickens

11:03 pm

mrpresident

thanks jac :)

11:03 pm

GreyWoulf

But then, we just had a 7 yo suspended from school for a day because he doodled a picture of himself pointing a pistol at his friend -- both faces had smiles but the teacher over reacted due to the schools zero tolerance firearms policy

11:04 pm

GreyWoulf

When the press talked to his mom, she said that he told her it was just a water pistol that he drew

11:05 pm

mrpresident

yes gw! I agree with that... my son would have said the same cause he has never ever seen a gun or a person fire a gun, even on TV. But he knows about water pistols and he calls them 'drippers'.

11:05 pm

GreyWoulf

But we have become so gun paranoid that a child, who is supposed to be innocent and allowed to have fun, was punished for the sins of people much older than himself

11:06 pm

GreyWoulf

I miss the days of innocence *wistful look on face*

11:06 pm

GreyWoulf

I miss the days where you could take a walk after dark and not be harassed by the police if they saw you

jillibus

hi tyger :)

11:18 pm

GreyWoulf

haven't heard anything recently, tyger

11:18 pm

Jacula

I'm off, too, now. Just must say that Freddie loved life, had no intention of dying young; it was a horrible accident, of the sort where you take a riak, thinking, ;that won't happen to me'. I hope Biran May got that message across when he played the UK National Anthem (LOL) on the roof of Buckingham Palace.

11:18 pm

GreyWoulf

jilli, I bet it's huge cos I got to finish a grid two days in a row!

11:18 pm

tygerbryght

jilli, people have been predicting a huge grid for days, and we haven't had one. But maybe you're right :)

11:18 pm

I don't need to give a link to the video, I hope?

Sorry! Freddie's a subject close to my hear - even though I am hetero.

lullaby, and good night, jac

11:21 pm

we've been having rain here. Love to send it to ya :)

11:21 pm

I'd rather sleep softly, tyger.

11:21 pm

tygerbryght

Brahms, jilli?

11:21 pm

GreyWoulf

it is currently 73 degrees outside and October is almost over! The weather man says that after the front comes through the temp will drop to the mid 60's like it is supposed to

11:21 pm

tygerbryght

may you get your wish, jac

11:21 pm

jillibus

GW -- I DON'T want it to rain again -- here -- but California can have all that's been falling here

11:22 pm

tygerbryght

wolfie, I thought we on the Coast were the only ones having a "hot" fall

11:22 pm

GreyWoulf

It looked and felt promising this afternoon, but right now I have my stinking air conditioner on so I won't sweat!

11:22 pm

Jacula

tyger - I'm off to listen to a lullaby from my Freddie and then sleep.

11:22 pm

tygerbryght

but forecast says we'll be back in the 70s by the weekend

11:23 pm

jillibus

GW -- while you have time, how about fixing your profile which says winter is over....?

11:23 pm

tygerbryght

enjoy, jac

11:23 pm

GreyWoulf

jilli -- you can have dry weather, I prefer it as well, but these high temps at night are ridiculous

11:24 pm

tygerbryght

even down here, 100 miles from the Gulf, I'm not used to having to run the A/C daily, and we've had to. Today was the 1st cool day

11:24 pm

tygerbryght

it's been a pretty dry fall. We're not as minus on rain as GA, Al, FL - not like 2000

11:25 pm

11:35 pm

Cathyar

ahh...i once thought that about win98 se too jilli...till they stopped providing updates etc.

11:35 pm

joso

well cath, after 9 years of bug testing by the general public one would hope win 98 didn't need any more bug fixes

11:35 pm

Micro$oft has always been about the money

11:36 pm

98 was the best thing that came along, at the time

11:39 pm

Microsoft has had a distrust of the user for a long time. they seem to try to prevent the user from tampering with the system, putting more and more distance between the user and the actual computer. this is fine as long as it all goes well and the user doesn't want to do anything odd or unuseral. If they do then they find more and more walls between them and what they want to do.

cath - I'm using Vista right now. It's pretty good. A couple of things caught me - but overall I think it's a step in the right direction if you have a powerful enough PC.

licketySplitAUS

jilibus - windows on MAC yes - There is a BabbleExpert user out there now using it on Mac Parrallels

11:54 pm

licketySplitAUS

But to get it running on all MACS I need a MAC

11:54 pm

Cathyar

11:54 pm

jillibus

jillibus

YAY Habes!!! I thought you hadn't noticed the clues!

11:55 pm

licketySplitAUS

Well - I can't afford to buy a MAC, and at only reason right now for me to have one is to make a version of BabbleExpert that runs on it.

11:56 pm

Cathyar

u prob deserve a freebie for all the help u give from yer clues page

11:56 pm

jillibus

We should poll the babblers and see who has Macs and who will put something in the kitty

11:56 pm

Habes

I did notice. TY. New to this. Second time for fireworks. Bedtime. Have to rest up for tomorrow!

BabbleExpert works fabulously on a Mac via Parallels, since it has no idea it's not running in a "normal" installation of Windows. Should work just as good in Virtual PC on a Mac, too. Or VMWare.

11:56 pm

Cathyar

hmm...u should charge like at least a buck for people to access your babble clues

11:58 pm

Cathyar

**digs in pockets to look for a dollar for lickety**
