n6:
one who catches fish w/out line nor spear, MLF

Victoria is definately not great weather or big on tourism

12:39 am

2:12 am

i was awed the 1st time i went to see them; they're really quite lovely.

2:12 am

FranMag

lol, so i am TOTALLY off!

2:13 am

that is sad infernal

2:13 am

dcseain

yes, lady, but one learns to adjust by having fun working with others to make them squirrel out of the lie. >
:D

2:13 am

herinfernallady

She is a known liar and i was checking up via online stuff to see if she didn't lie

2:13 am

2:14 am

dcseain

in my case, not friends, but she's in my social circle, and married to a friend.

2:14 am

Zombee

well sometimes you befriend people for their good qualities. I guess the lying just got in the way

2:15 am

SamanthaJoy

She either has more time or more patience than I do--probably both

2:15 am

dcseain

great icon, samantha!

2:15 am

Oh, yes, and sometimes people are in social circles that you can't just gracefully leave. And thanks, I love my icon too :))

2:19 am

Zombee

hm? do tell.

2:19 am

dcseain

mostly banana, yes

2:20 am

dcseain

oh, enable has some odd ones. Morewords is a Xword tool, and says the ra8 is valid, but i'm guessing an OED will be needed for a definition

2:20 am

FranMag

dc, how many ra8s are there? are you talking about the rodent related one?

2:20 am

dcseain

yes, the rodent one

2:21 am

i just assumed it was one who ra6s. :-)

2:21 am

2:55 am

bananafour

did they close the sea to sky too?

2:55 am

sgams

Ya, Qualicum is pretty picturesque, not tooo keen on the amount of complainers there though, sooo many, always something.

2:56 am

jillibus

I think for a while, nana

2:56 am

bananafour

i haven't been on the sea to sky since they started the upgrades

2:56 am

jillibus

2:57 am

bananafour

Salt Spring is beautiful too

2:57 am

jillibus

I've NEVER been on the sea to sky!

2:57 am

dcseain

Jilli, speaking of bridge, you may find this of interest: http://tinyurl.com/yu5emd

2:58 am

bananafour

it wasn't a bad highway before, you just would get stuck behind all the slow people and no where to pass them....hence accidents when people would take risky chances to pass

2:58 am

sgams

Really, never heard that about Salt Spring. Jilli, have you been to Tofino?...if so the hwy, between Port Alberni and Tofino, is basically the same, windy, curvy, hilly etc

2:58 am

bananafour

kind of like how the Vancouver Island highway was before they built the new one

2:59 am

sgams

Are you here too Banana?

2:59 am

3:20 am

flosey

when did it come on?

3:20 am

jillibus

mine went at about 4:30 -- came back about 8:30. I wrote Xmas cards by candlelight and had a cold supper.

3:21 am

flosey

well, I didn't feel like eating, was feeling crummy, so slept like a log

3:21 am

herinfernallady

I hate REs

3:21 am

herinfernallady

Flosey and Jill what about a generator?

3:22 am

jillibus

Zombee

hullo flosey

3:22 am

3:23 am

herinfernallady

ok

3:23 am

Zombee

?? franmag left?

3:23 am

flosey

we do have a generator, pretty heavy duty one, because of 3 freezers, and need it for the water pump, etc but we don't put it on until we know it's off for a while

3:23 am

Zombee

:I

3:24 am

flosey

we live in a rural setting, on a farm, with a well, so makes a difference

3:24 am

jillibus

zombee -- fran's been having connection problems

3:24 am

flosey

generators are noisy and I love the eerie peacefulness of absolute silence when the power is off

3:25 am

herinfernallady

Frans got her usual stupid hour of conection

3:25 am

herinfernallady

Flosey is it all dark and snowy?

3:25 am

jillibus

yes, back east we were on a well too -- no power, no water and that's really tough. We also sometimes had puppies which have to be kept warm. Hence the generator there.

3:25 am

Zombee

ohhhh. thanks jilli.

3:25 am

flosey

yes, but it may be raining now,

3:26 am

aloha, Fran

3:51 am

sprite

it does. The study in the Netherlands has shown that cortisol levels are lower than usual in traumatised persons, but if their panic buttons are pressed (which usually happens too easily), the cortisol production goes skyhigh and does not stop for a very long time, then drops back to too low a level.

3:51 am

sprite

hey Fran :)

3:51 am

FranMag

no, i was doing other things on-line infernal

3:52 am

herinfernallady

Ok. Ill do scrable when i can think

3:52 am

sprite

tsk tsk tsk, Fran. ;)

3:52 am

o-o

do you take a look at the coping rules now and then, sprite?

3:53 am

flosey

very interesting babrab and sprite, have copied the article in your bio babrab, will read later

3:53 am

Zombee

hullo fran

3:53 am

FranMag

hi flosey! hi again zombee!

3:53 am

flosey

Hi there Fran

3:54 am

Zombee

hahahaha btw how many words do you have now dear flosey

3:54 am

sprite

quite often, actually, BabbleRabble. They help me to keep perspective. I also notice that understanding the mechanism of those panic attacks and in-between fatigue helps me coping with them. I am one that needs to understand before she can accept.

3:54 am

sprite

hi Zombee.

3:54 am

flosey

power was off here Fran, so I went to bed at 5:45 pm - wide awake at 1: after good 7 hour sleep

3:54 am

Zombee

hullo, sprite!

3:54 am

Zombee

man i love your icon. so cute

3:54 am

sprite

woot flosey, that sounds like a good rest! Hope you feel better for it :)

3:54 am

sprite

thanks :D

3:55 am

dcseain

that's true of several people i know sprite, and i think that makes sense. *hug*

3:55 am

herinfernallady

SPrite can i as something. Do panic attacks leave you feeling fatigued and odd feeling?

3:55 am

Zombee

I'll get a good rest when God gives me 6 more hours in a day

3:55 am

Zombee

I'll get a good rest when God gives me 6 more hours in a day

3:55 am

FranMag

wow! that's great flosey!

3:55 am

FranMag

except you

3:55 am

FranMag

except you'll probably fall asleep at around 11 am again. :-)

3:55 am

dcseain

good that you got sleep flosey, and you'll find your way back to a regular schedule soon enough.

3:56 am

sprite

drained and kind of otherworldly, lady. Like being a stranger on this planet. Feeling passes after a while, fatigue lasts longer.

3:56 am

herinfernallady

Ok not cool but that makes sense to me

3:56 am

flosey

may do Fran, but yes, may nap today, but man-o-man I feel great

3:56 am

sprite

poor Zombee... too many interesting things in life to allow yourself enough sleep?

3:56 am

flosey

I seldom get straight 7 hours

3:56 am

o-o

the massive adrenalin rush is quite tiring

3:57 am

Zombee

my major exams just ended recently...sleep can wait

3:57 am

Zombee

hahaha

3:57 am

dcseain

yeah, school's like that, zombee.

3:57 am

FranMag

flosey, i hear you! I haven't slept undisturbed since my first pregnancy

3:57 am

flosey

Zombee, hope you did well in exams

3:57 am

Zombee

well, the results won't be out till early next year... but thanks flo!

3:58 am

FranMag

man, i remember a week in school when I had a total of 5 hours of sleep over the whole week!

3:58 am

sprite

but at least I finally realise that I am not to blame for having panic attacks. I used to think I was soo stooopid for letting little things make me crazy. But now I know I cannot do anything to stop it, except slowly making the panic buttons less sensitive. Once the mechanism starts, no concious action can stop it.

3:58 am

herinfernallady

Zombee best wishes

3:58 am

sprite

*keeps fingers crossed for Zombee*

3:58 am

Zombee

thanks herin! oh no fran! how did you survive!

3:59 am

dcseain

indeed so, Sprite. I wish i could make my mom understand that.

3:59 am

herinfernallady

Sprite i had a panic attack today thats why i asked. I still feel really freaked out.

3:59 am

Zombee

HAHA sprite!

3:59 am

sprite

argh, idiot is a phantom. I hate it when that happens :)

3:59 am

FranMag

sprite, i'm so glad for you, it's good to not feel like you're abnormal (if that makes sense)

3:59 am

FranMag

sprite, that one has been bothering me all night too!

3:59 am

dcseain

i must say the variation in mobile rings here in the office is fascinating.

4:00 am

Zombee

tsk! you're babbling at work! keep it up ("

4:00 am

Zombee

oops i meant (:

4:00 am

flosey

beautiful icon Fran

4:00 am

sprite

lol, yes it does, Fran. Being able to stop be4ing myself over the head for it makes it less bad.

Lady, sorry to hear that. Best you can do is try and relax, and be gentle with yourself. Panic eats energy like locust eat grainfields... bare to the bone after a visit!

4:01 am

FranMag

zombee, i don't know how i did it either...my biggest presentation of the week was done in a stupor, but i must have been prepared, i answered every question while my "team" members just stood there!!

4:01 am

FranMag

thanks flosey! i think everyone here knows i love purple. :-)

4:01 am

herinfernallady

Oh yes. I have no idea why but i was at the store and wham i am lucky i remembered the breathing methods from yoga

4:01 am

Zombee

haha I usually work with people like that too! I end up answering every single question thrown at us!

4:01 am

Fishbulb

Morning guys

4:02 am

yes zombee, the US Gov't pays me to do it, too. :)

4:02 am

dcseain

morning, fishbulb!

4:02 am

dcseain

lovely hat, fishbulb!

4:02 am

Zombee

dcs-HAHAHA

4:02 am

flosey

Hi Fish - another purple lover Fran

4:03 am

FranMag

lol zombee, i remember looking at them disgustedly through bloodshot eyes.

4:03 am

Zombee

gday fishbulb!

4:03 am

Fishbulb

Oooh Fran, pretty icon :D Sprite, lovely to see you as always dcseain, good morning to you too! :D

4:03 am

o-o

to be able to focus emough during an attack to look around and see that you are not in danger is a large step; to let the phisiology run its course without compounding the anxiety by thinking woulda coulda shoulda what if is a real key to shortening the panic

4:03 am

Fishbulb

gday Zombee!

4:03 am

FranMag

great hat fishbulb! and even better color. :-)

4:03 am

herinfernallady

HI Fish.

4:03 am

herinfernallady

HI Fish.

4:04 am

Zombee

is there anything that can be done to suppress the feeling during a panic attack? like can you distract yourself?

4:04 am

dcseain

finally finished the Ts.

4:04 am

FranMag

go dc go!!!

4:04 am

sprite

So very true, BabbleRabble! Recently, I have been able to go through a panic attack, knowing I am having one and realising the chemical reaction will take its course, and afterwards I know I better take it easy for a bit and not blame myself... such a huge difference.

4:05 am

sprite

woot dc!

4:05 am

Zombee

HAHAHAH!!! "Fishbulb is a human from United Kingdom". Yeah I got that much!

4:05 am

herinfernallady

Babble yep. Zombee i have a plan. I listen to my ipod when i go out. I also know where the exits are in a place

4:05 am

o-o

what works bets for me it simply go with it and realize you are not in danger

4:05 am

sprite

no, suppression or distraction does not work for me. Just letting it be what it is and staying as calm as possible while it lasts, works better for me.

4:06 am

FranMag

zombee, are you going to go pro so that we'll find out if you're at least human? :-)

4:06 am

Fishbulb

Thanks Fran, wish it was mine Hi lady. Zombee, I think that's the default on the profile page but it made me chuckle so I kept it! I like clarification of my human status sometimes.

4:06 am

sprite

Zombees aren't human anymore... they used to be ;)

4:06 am

dcseain

a friend with bridge issues and panic disorder was driving us home once. We crossed the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore, which other passenger insisted was a drawbridge, which she and i knew it wasn't. She was breathing again after crossing the Key, when a sign said "Drawbridge Ahead"

4:06 am

chinger

yo wats up

4:06 am

flosey

oops, lights flickering, hope we don't lose power again

4:06 am

FranMag

oh yeah, thanks for clarifying that sprite. :-)

4:06 am

chinger

yo wats up

4:06 am

Zombee

a panic attack episode sounds a bit like the dizzy rushes I get.

4:07 am

FranMag

yo chinger

4:07 am

sprite

argh, flosey... my hopes go with yours...

4:07 am

dcseain

"Drawbridge!? Drawbridge Ahead!? What does that mean?" to which i replied "It means there's a drawbridge, honey", which made her laugh, and happily, it was tiny. :)

4:07 am

chinger

4:07 am

anytime, Fran :D

4:07 am

sprite

hi chinger

4:07 am

Zombee

4:07 am

4:07 am

chinger

hi sprite

4:08 am

herinfernallady

Zombee its not fun i can tell you. Damn freaking stupid suckwholey Christmas is the trigger'

4:08 am

dcseain

4:08 am

sprite

LOL dc!

4:08 am

FranMag

pretty good chinger

4:08 am

Zombee

lol oh dearie

4:08 am

flosey

Hello chinger, you're new to me, welcome to babble

4:09 am

sprite

lady, I am right with you on that one. December is a bad month for me, with all the Xmas stress and such. But it will be January soon :)

4:09 am

dcseain

She's still no fond of big bridges, but is getting better with them. Eventual goal is to cross the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, from which one cannot see land for several minutes in the middle.

4:09 am

FranMag

flosey, i'm crossing my fingers for you and jilli.

4:09 am

Zombee

I have never fainted in my life. I've tried, but nope, didn't work

4:09 am

FranMag

dc, that sounds scary even without bridge issues!

4:09 am

flosey

thanks Fran

4:09 am

sprite

wow, that is kinda heroic, dc. Your company and some humour might well help her make it :)

4:10 am

herinfernallady

No its more like for me the people that aren't here anymore. How utterly alone i am at times.

4:10 am

Zombee

we're here for you herin (:

4:10 am

herinfernallady

DC You can have the bridge on your own thanks

4:10 am

dcseain

it's a 5-mile suspension bridge connecting Annapolis, MD to Kent Island, MD.

4:10 am

herinfernallady

Um no thanks DC

4:11 am

dcseain

someday, Sprite, that is my hope. I've shared with her the experience of having a tire blowout on that bridge, which doesn't help per se, but shows that it was overcome successfully, including driving off the bridge w/out stopping.

4:11 am

Zombee

cannot see land? my butt just tingled

4:11 am

sprite

being alone or lonely are two different things. Feeling lonely and abandoned can be very tough, especially in times like these.

4:11 am

o-o

I would need to know what violation caused the suspension before crossing that bridge

4:12 am

sprite

LOL! @ BabbleRabble

4:12 am

herinfernallady

My parents are interstate there is no family christmas fo rme

4:12 am

FranMag

4:14 am

sprite

cokeman, do you mean you were chinger just a little while ago?

4:14 am

herinfernallady

Sprite we don't have any tree here

4:15 am

Zombee

lol, my family's xmas tree is about 4 ft high. my mom took the easy way out

4:15 am

dcseain

http://tinyurl.com/yspr9r is wiki about the bridge - nice panaroma of it from the Annapolis (West) side, looking South, at the bottom.

4:15 am

dcseain

i grew up with a 7ft upstairs and a 6ft downstairs, both artificial.

4:15 am

flosey

the year our grandson came for Christmas we had a 12' tree that hubby had planted the year we came here

4:16 am

flosey

he loved it,

4:16 am

sprite

I tend to go with the nature in the seasons... in winter, I feel like turning inward, concentrating strenght and energy deep inside, waiting for spring to turn it outwards again. But Xmas here is very extrovert nowadays... too commercial, too many obligations, too much humbug.

4:16 am

herinfernallady

Is there any LA words please

4:16 am

dcseain

The White House trees amazed me as a child - 18-25ft high.

4:16 am

dcseain

no, lady

4:17 am

FranMag

wow dc, that is a great panoramic shot

4:17 am

Zombee

that's cool. but lately my family has adopted a very lackadaisical attitude towards the holiday season.

4:17 am

don't think there can be, lady

4:22 am

dc, i know i'm not an artist because when i took calculus it did not inspire any artistic thoughts at all!

4:22 am

flosey

4:23 am

dcseain

she was an artist who stated studyng math from arithmitc forward 4 years ago, and has used the maths no inform her art. The calculus played into her Zoroastrian series also.

the places in US w/lowest crime rates lack death penalty
. Some de9.

4:30 am

woot, found it right away from that clue, BabbleRabble, thanks.

4:31 am

I don't think there is even one single proof that it really works as one, indeed.

4:34 am

some days I feel like I have been executed.

4:34 am

dcseain

i live in the state with the 2nd highest rate of people on death row. Only Texas has more on death row, and kill more, than Virginia. I grew up in the court circuit with the highes death row conviction rate in the state. The Commonwealth's Attorney has used that fact to get reelected for decades now.

4:34 am

FranMag

it's not a bad grid today phand

4:34 am

dcseain

then you come to your senses and find you have a body still, sprite?

4:35 am

herinfernallady

DC your legal system blows and sucks there are too many innocent people on death row its bullocks

4:35 am

dcseain

yes, lady, i agree entirely.

4:35 am

dcseain

the commonwealth has paid out huge sums of money for decades of wrongful deaths at this point.

4:35 am

herinfernallady

I only believe in it if the person is 200% person guitly

4:36 am

sprite

nah, that is the bad part, dc... then I realise I do still have this failing body and mind... but then I make myself look at all my blessings and stop being sorry ;)

4:36 am

4:37 am

aw, that is sweet, dc :)
You babblers are definitely one of my blessings!

5:18 am

herinfernallady

too bad to go against native language

Zombee

it's basically a form of slangish english which was born when people who didn't know english well translated mandarin to english literally

dcseain

that was redundant.

Zombee

well...yeah sort of

6:45 am

Scrabbler

I use Amazon for everything---DVDs, books, CDs. Some people prefer the indie places, but I need to save money.

6:45 am

Uniquity

If they didn't even give you the product, you would think they'd be obligated to give you your money back

6:45 am

herinfernallady

shoot. 2 left no list

6:46 am

Scrabbler

Uniquity, are you concerned about privacy and identity theft issues on-line?

6:46 am

bfsog

they will give me the money back, but then (i think) they will redo the order, so effectively debit my account again

6:46 am

herinfernallady

wow how did that happen

6:46 am

Scrabbler

Go Lady go, you Babble Pro!!

7:12 am

Uniquity

You can entre part of a word with dashes or asterisk to represent missing letters and get suggested ideas back

7:12 am

bbnaz

7:12 am

herinfernallady

Yes it is bb

7:14 am

bbnaz

7:14 am

bbnaz

7:14 am

herinfernallady

Hi As

7:17 am

bbnaz

prodigious vocabulary -- not so good about maths

7:17 am

herinfernallady

I find 1000 piece jigsaws too easy

7:17 am

Zombee

FREAK!!!

7:17 am

Zombee

you should be in the jigsaw equivalent of mensa or something

7:17 am

bbnaz

i have an 8000 but no table to assemble it on so it just stares at me from the box

7:17 am

herinfernallady

Yep

7:18 am

Uniquity

8:00 am

YW Scarlet and good morning to you too

8:01 am

Zombee

8:04 am

Zombee

8:06 am

Scarlet

P.S. "My broom is parked in the corner"...

8:06 am

NonoNanette

8:07 am

Scarlet

I wondered if we would have Internet service, because that is usually the first victim of winds...

8:07 am

periwinkle

Scarlet the ba6/24 and the ba8 would be appropriate words for you today

8:07 am

NonoNanette

8:08 am

Scarlet

Nono, just checking here: what is the first description you would pull out when you are looking at the word orbs

*Laughing out loud now*\

8:09 am

AsGreen

I could come up sith some great definitions for some of the words I'm trying to make up

8:09 am

Scarlet

Okay... I thought of eyes... or spherical objects such as balls... but, they were misinterpreted... LOL, asgreen... so do I!

8:10 am

Scarlet

asgreen, did I read that you are tiptoeing up to your 40th birthday? If so, it is the beginning of a wonderful time of life for a woman!

8:11 am

AsGreen

I'm giving myself 20 more minutes of "fun" - then I need to go food shopping so hubby can make us a wonderful bday/channukah dinner tomorrow! (and I get the night off)

8:11 am

8:11 am

AsGreen

Scarlet

LOL, bbnaz.... never heard that one before!

8:12 am

Scarlet

Hi, chiley.. it is a little disconcerting to look across the road at the 60-foot cathedral pines swaying back and forth...

8:13 am

chiley

uhoh....he lives on a mountain aboveHendersonville. He's been worried about some of the trees over his house. He lost quite a few and had damage in the ice storm 2 yrs ago.

8:13 am

Scarlet

Well, happy birthday and Happy Channukah to you, asgreen! May this be the entryway to a joyous new year for you and yours!

8:14 am

AsGreen

many thanks Scarlet!

8:14 am

Scarlet

Oh, chiley... that ice-storm was right after we moved in here on Dec. 5, 2005... it really took a harsh toll on the weeping willows and other, older trees!

8:15 am

Scarlet

I think it was in January of '06...

8:41 am

EvaNadine

so, i know my sister-in-law is due with their 3rd baby in January, but i was talking to my mom last night to find out WHEN in january...
turns out, because of stupid insurance reasons, the MIGHT induce her in late december, since her current insurance is better than the insurance she will have in january...
*whew!*

8:42 am

Uneaixoise

good grief!

8:42 am

Angelsong

some people say capital punishment is not a de9 to crime...

8:42 am

AsGreen

Scarlet - you are cracking me up. Sorry mkg - don't have 'em

8:42 am

Uneaixoise

8:43 am

montreal13

tx angel - and sorry mkg, dont have the AE word(s)

8:43 am

Scarlet

8:43 am

Angelsong

mkg: make soil looser, and past tense

8:43 am

EvaNadine

8:43 am

montreal13

bonjour Une !

8:43 am

AsGreen

8:43 am

montreal13

tx again Angel !

8:44 am

AsGreen

OK, I really need to go - stayed in PJs all day yesterday....need to go shower and shop - 112 to go - see y'all later!

8:44 am

Uneaixoise

not now, Scarlet, but when I drove home from my mom's last nite (an hour on interstate) I was a complete wreck--had to pry my hands off the wheel in my driveway . . . torrential rain and high winds--couldn't see a thing at certain points--was going 20 mph!

8:44 am

montreal13

later asgreen !

8:45 am

Uneaixoise

salut, montreal!Ca va? Beaucoup de neige?

8:45 am

montreal13

oh oui Une ! - j'ai dÃ» pelleter ce matin ...et, bien sÃ»r, la charrue vient de passer...

8:47 am

Angelsong

do those of you in the US know about Craigs List?

8:47 am

Uneaixoise

ok, this is what i found on urban dictionary website: Charrue is a QuÃ©becois expression used to define multiple things, including a big, fat and usually ugly woman.

8:47 am

AsGreen

busted, I'm still here, yes Angel - I've used it

8:47 am

Uneaixoise

absolutely, angel!

8:48 am

Angelsong

we were able to get three pieces of furniture from Craigs List yesterday. A chair for my office, a coffee table, and a rocking chair.

8:48 am

montreal13

lol Une --- in this case, it's the snowplow of course...

8:48 am

Uneaixoise

LOL!

8:49 am

AsGreen

that's great Angel! I've sold stuff, found babysitters, etc. OK, I'm really out - w/108 to go - later all - poof!

8:49 am

Scarlet

Ohmigosh, Une... I re-coffeed and read your post... what a nightmare! Yes, Angel, folks here use Craig's List for job-hunting.

8:49 am

Uneaixoise

cool, angel! A couple of years ago I was able to connect with a local teacher just starting out at an urban grade school--gave her lots of supplies!

8:49 am

Scarlet

'Bye, asgreen!

8:51 am

Uneaixoise

scarlet, the funny thing is that as I left my mom's house, the caregiver and I were commenting that once the again the weather forecasters got it all wrong--not a drop was falling there!

8:51 am

Scarlet

As usual, Une... I can drive on ice, snow and dreck... even fog... but winds are another breed of trouble.

8:52 am

Uneaixoise

my litte green Sentra ("Kermit") was struggling down that road!

8:52 am

Scarlet

Awww... our car is called "Dreadnaught"

8:53 am

Uneaixoise

ohmy!!

8:53 am

Scarlet

:-)

8:53 am

EvaNadine

8:53 am

Scarlet

Just look from right to left for a four, Eva

8:53 am

Uneaixoise

it7 to utter repeatedly

8:54 am

Scarlet

What, what, what, Une?

8:54 am

EvaNadine

thanks -- always annoyed when i miss that io4 -- its one of my favorite babblets!

8:54 am

NonoNanette

8:54 am

Uneaixoise

Yahoo, Yippee and Yowza for Nono!!

8:55 am

Uneaixoise

8:55 am

Scarlet

I was being brainless, Une...

8:55 am

Uneaixoise

Scarlet, speaking of wind, when my daughter lived in Blowing Rock, ohmygod the wind was incredible--blew her plants off the deck!

8:56 am

NonoNanette

now i need a shower, Happy babbling everyone

8:56 am

Scarlet

Later, Nono

8:56 am

Uneaixoise

bye, nono

8:56 am

montreal13

later nono !

8:57 am

Scarlet

Last winter, we had such a bad windstorm that it blew our 200-pound outdoor grill right over! Thank goodness for good neighbors... one lady was so shaken... a huge tree missed her car by mere inches.. the electric company had to come by to break the tree down in increments so the branches wouldn't interfere with the current.

8:57 am

Uneaixoise

someone was asking for the ae's: to add oxygen

8:58 am

Uneaixoise

wowie!

8:58 am

Uneaixoise

and past tense

8:58 am

Scarlet

I am still amazed that winds are such an issue in the mountains, though, Une.

8:59 am

Uneaixoise

i assumed it was an altitude thing in Blowing Rock but Asheville's not that high, right?

8:59 am

Scarlet

Well, Blowing Rock is several hundred feet higher in elevation than Asheville, but we DO get some doozies...

9:00 am

Uneaixoise

sounds like it!

9:01 am

Scarlet

At this moment, all is calm and the sun is smiling... so, into the grid before I lose I-net service!! :-)

9:01 am

montreal13

gotta go with a mere 116 to go - more shovelling needed... and probably even more later as the snow has not lessened... BBL - happy babbling all !

9:01 am

Scarlet

Later, Luc! Please be careful!!

9:02 am

montreal13

Congratulations, Angel!!

9:04 am

Angelsong

Scarlet

Well, I thought in your corner of the world, Angel, the orks were on fire today... the weather patterns are very weird!

9:10 am

bfsog

well, for those of you were here earlier the dvd supplier got back to me.. they sent the same email again, say wait 14 days

9:11 am

bfsog

i have waited 12 days! grrr it is not going to show up

9:11 am

Scarlet

Hi, bfsog... which DVD is causing the problems? A movie?

9:12 am

bfsog

hey scarlet, i ordered a dvd for my gf for christmas, for some reason i went with a different online shop, it has never turned up

9:12 am

bfsog

ve been in touch but they say they will wait 14 days, and then they will refund me and then charge me again and send out the dvd again

9:13 am

bfsog

ut i want to just get a refund and buy it elsewhere!

9:13 am

Scarlet

At least you started early enough to anticipate foul-ups, bfs... so you're really ahead of the last-minute crunch...

9:13 am

bfsog

yeah,

9:14 am

Scarlet

I just don't shop on-line... I also stay away from the insanity of Black Friday and Cyber Monday as though they are the plague... LOL

9:24 am

bfsog

i was only 2 then, why stay away>

9:29 am

leighprefect

Morning....

9:29 am

bfsog

9:29 am

9:29 am

mkg

stumped by the pe words the 7/32 second one is tough. any clues?

9:30 am

EvaNadine

id never actually heard of Cyber-Monday until this year...
i ended up having to work Black Friday this year, but actually had a sick desire to go to the mall...heh

9:30 am

mkg

just got that word so nm. thanks

9:30 am

bfsog

so uh, why is it different than any other day? and why not go to the mall/

9:31 am

Scarlet

Me either... yet another marketing ploy that everyone buys into... not moi! :9

9:31 am

Scarlet

Must check emails... see you in a few! (With 70 left!)

9:32 am

EvaNadine

bfs -- Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving, where all the stores put on *insane* sales in preparation for the Christmas holiday...
the sales are usually one-day only and very good, so people go nuts and start camping out in front of stores + in short, its just very chaotic.
you hear stories of people getting trampled + even dying on Black Friday...

9:33 am

bfsog

and is that why the stock market like went boom ?

9:34 am

EvaNadine

i think youre thinking of the Great Depression -- different events

9:35 am

bfsog

i dont know, i wiki'd it and it was telling me about the dow jones index losing 502 points

9:35 am

Scarlet

Eva, did you see the video last week about the artificial inflation of the market? It was superb... and very funny!

9:35 am

EvaNadine

9:35 am

bbnaz

9:35 am

EvaNadine

i dont get to see the Babble videos. :(

9:36 am

bbnaz

eva...if you want to see the babble videos, just e-mail lickety

9:36 am

Scarlet

I have to thank jillibus for choosing it! Oh, sorry, then... it was just two men, ostensibly an investment banker and an interviewer... very droll, very British, and right on the nose about the manipulations of the stock market!

9:37 am

bbnaz

ask him about babble expert

9:37 am

EvaNadine

bbnaz -- i cant do that because i Babble mainly at work and im not allowed to download anything here (course, im not really allowed to play Babble either...heh)

9:37 am

Scarlet

*snort*

9:37 am

bbnaz

ahhh gotcha

9:39 am

Scarlet

That British teacher who allowed her students to have named the teddy bear, Muhammed, has been pardoned!

9:40 am

bfsog

right the dvd saga is over. they wont give me a refund until the 14 days are up

9:40 am

bfsog

i am never shopping with them again

9:40 am

bbnaz

interesting how it is okay to name a person Mohammed but not a teddy

9:41 am

Scarlet

I know, bbnaz... there is a football player by the name of Mussin Mohammed, and no riots in the streets...

9:41 am

bbnaz

or the infamous Mohammed Atta.....oh wait to some he is a martyr

9:41 am

Scarlet

Or, Ali!

9:43 am

Scarlet

Well, the pardon came from Khartoum, Sudan... right from the president of Sudan... I guess the world stage had some influence on their decision.

9:44 am

bbnaz

and how many hispanics are name "Jesus"?

9:44 am

Scarlet

And... Concepcion? Urf.

9:57 am

Scarlet

Oh, yippee... the wonderful beloved just invited me to go to a late lunch.. for The Worst Food in the World: an amazing thing called the Dogzilla- 18 inches of Angus beef hotdog with red onions... (Don't worry, I'll use a breath mint before I come back to Babble!) Is there a hiccough on the site now? Hmmmm]

9:57 am

bbnaz

10:40 am

montreal13

i trust you bb...lol

10:41 am

bbnaz

fortunately it is an intramuscular shot so I don't have to try and hit a vein. Those are never fun with her.......the venous ones I mean.

10:42 am

montreal13

just had my flu-vaccine - it was intra-muscular and i didn't feel a thing...

10:42 am

harpjane

Atalante

ick. flu vaccines

10:42 am

montreal13

10:42 am

Atalante

oooooh. must change icon. brb

10:43 am

harpjane

ok, my icon fits then!

10:43 am

montreal13

i had a flu vaccine about 15 years ago ... and was sick as a dog - but last winter was bad for me coughing from november to march - so i decided to try again...

10:44 am

bbnaz

knock on wood....no flu vaccine

10:44 am

harpjane

the flu vaccine makes me woozy

10:44 am

montreal13

with our harsh canadian winters, colds and the flu are very common...

10:45 am

Haz1558

Well, that's happy, Spangle can be my favourite colour for today.

10:45 am

montreal13

brown ? white ? hazel ? lol

10:45 am

Haz1558

I bet Atalante's will feature Hobbit's purple collar.

10:46 am

Haz1558

I can't make up my mind, montreal! Sitting on the fence.

10:46 am

montreal13

the one that captures satellite transmissions ??

10:46 am

Haz1558

No, just the purple collar from the States. It's strictly for appearance.

10:47 am

montreal13

i hear you hazel - picked orange but i really don't have a favourite colour per say...

10:47 am

Atalante

back with my favourite coluor :)

10:48 am

Haz1558

It's a nice deep orange. Right, let's see if I was correct.

10:48 am

Atalante

though hobbit's collar would do!

10:48 am

Haz1558

You see!

10:48 am

montreal13

right on Hazel - bravo !!

10:49 am

Atalante

blue-purple, baby pink, white, silver, light turquoise

10:49 am

montreal13

10:49 am

Haz1558

I should travel with circuses as a psychic.

10:50 am

Haz1558

Good afternoon EvaNadine.

10:50 am

montreal13

hi there Eva !

10:51 am

EvaNadine

interesting BF-job news...
while he hasnt yet heard about the job he had the 2nd interview for last week, he just got a call today from a place he applied to -- they did a phone interview today + he has an in-office interview on friday.
always nice to have a backup!

10:51 am

Haz1558

That sounds great!

10:51 am

montreal13

good news Eva !

10:52 am

EvaNadine

he even told them that hes waiting to hear about another job, and they were still interested...
this one isnt a federal job though (like the one hes waiting on), but it is temp-to-hire, which is a good option...

10:52 am

Atalante

yay Eva!

10:53 am

Haz1558

I hope it works out well for him.

10:53 am

EvaNadine

considering i had my minor "im so stressed trying to keep everything together and make it all work" yesterday, this is definitely good news...heh

10:54 am

Atalante

if Spangle is your favourite colour - is that the white or the red?

10:54 am

montreal13

things usually work out Eva...

10:55 am

Haz1558

It would be the rusty red, Atalante. I like autumny colours - they suit me, maybe that's why.

10:55 am

EvaNadine

yeah. i was just getting a little worried that id have to tailor back my christmas shopping this year, and it had me a little depressed...
but then i realized i already had MOST of my shopping done...heh

10:56 am

Haz1558

Well there you are - you can relax a bit.

10:56 am

montreal13

10:58 am

FMitch

Le soleil brille et les oiseaux chantent dans les arbres. (they don't really but that used to be the standard beginning of unimaginative boys' French essays when I was at school.

11:00 am

montreal13

rofl

11:00 am

Haz1558

A humdinger of a word, but some people just COULDN'T get it.

11:00 am

montreal13

11:01 am

FMitch

Listen there were some people that couldn't have got it even if it was spelt out letter by letter!

11:01 am

Haz1558

Then when they learned the imperfect tense the sun shone and the birds sang in the trees.

11:01 am

EvaNadine

FMitch -- another green-lover?

11:01 am

FMitch

Hi TO :0

11:02 am

Haz1558

I concur, FMitch, my patience does not extend to the degree of spoon-feeding required.

11:02 am

Haz1558

Haz1558

11:04 am

FMitch

flapkack? knew the recipe had gone wrong somewhere.

11:04 am

Atalante

montreal13

yay FM, understood it all !

11:05 am

72 Temple Owl

who is eating a pancake?

11:05 am

Haz1558

Could it be a flapknack - a handy foldable bag?

11:05 am

Haz1558

But you wouldn't eat a bag. Unless it was for emergency rations.

11:05 am

montreal13

no no ... must be flapjack...

11:06 am

Haz1558

Flap Jack - the easily distressed brother of Jill.

11:06 am

11:06 am

72 Temple Owl

11:12 am

Atalante

11:12 am

Haz1558

deb - change the last vowel in the animal for another.

11:12 am

FMitch

Heavens is it still Monday? It seems to have gone on for at least 3 days today.

11:13 am

Haz1558

It's still Monday - have you had a busy day?

11:13 am

debjed

thanks Haz

11:14 am

FMitch

Busy but horrid too. High frustrations with customer service depts and outsourced accounts departments.

11:14 am

crpw48

hi everyone

11:14 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, deb.

11:15 am

Haz1558

That doesn't sound so good. You didn't have to listen to canned music for hours?

11:15 am

debjed

also need help with the top row I. have the small amount

11:15 am

Haz1558

Hello crpw.

11:15 am

ch1212

thanks, deb -- I didn't have that one

11:15 am

FMitch

Hello crpw and deb

11:15 am

Haz1558

it7 - used recently to emphasise a point

11:15 am

crpw48

its cold here in cincinnati so its a good day to stay inside and babble

11:15 am

Atalante

oui! Silverclaw *est* bilingue! Elle est!

11:15 am

debjed

thanks again Haz!

11:16 am

Haz1558

Or one letter short of being able to read and write (it7)

11:16 am

Haz1558

No problem debjed.

11:16 am

crpw48

clue please for 1st pe6-21

11:17 am

Haz1558

pe6/21 - nasty disease of the gums, I think. French father wrapped up with two vowels.

11:18 am

FMitch

Have you completed the grid Haz?

11:19 am

Haz1558

Yes, it's a nice one today.

11:19 am

FMitch

Oh congrats to you, seem to be a lot more larger words than usual.

11:19 am

Atalante

hmmm. I have to go downstairs. But both brats are fast asleep here. They will jump up and follow me like the Pied Piper and then fuss around for 1/2 an hour before sleeping again. Annoyance

11:20 am

Haz1558

Yes, lots of those who do and comparatives.

11:20 am

FMitch

Ata I am worried about you?

11:20 am

Haz1558

If you crawl on your stomach, very quietly?

11:20 am

Atalante

you are?

11:21 am

FMitch

You are sounding remarkably like a particular antipodean.

11:21 am

Atalante

the quiet thing works with Hobbit. not SIlverclaw. Maybe just absolute speed will work *whoosh*

11:21 am

Haz1558

Can you go fast and quietly, though? Not knocking anything over either.

11:22 am

Atalante

I tried. They both followed me LOL

11:22 am

Haz1558

Is it devotion or nosiness on their part, Atalante?

11:22 am

FMitch

They just wanted to supervise and make sure they were not missing out on a food opportunity I guess.

11:22 am

Atalante

welll someone's got to provide the amusement, FM :P

11:23 am

Atalante

Devotion, obviously *smug*

11:23 am

crpw48

can't get the gum clue or the french father clue haz

11:23 am

crpw48

can i have another one

11:24 am

Haz1558

Okay, the first four letters are the same (but rearranged) as a word meaning to look intently, or a member of the nobility, or one who urinates (sorry!) The last two letters are then vowels.

11:24 am

crpw48

just got it

11:24 am

Haz1558

Well done!

11:25 am

crpw48

thank you, been trying that one for a while now

11:25 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

11:25 am

caitlyn

Good afternoon all.......

Hi denny..
My weekend was fine nice and quiet fora change

11:30 am

Haz1558

When you say the Secret Project, Atalante, do you just mouth the words, rather then speak them out, a la Les Dawson?

11:31 am

Atalante

of course. It can't even be spoken when alone

11:31 am

caitlyn

Hi sprite..long time no see.how are you?

11:35 am

sprite

Hi Frances!

11:35 am

caitlyn

Snap Denny!!

11:35 am

FMitch

The smell reminds me of boarding school

11:35 am

Frances

Tastes worse.

11:35 am

debjed

i bet the 9 starts with RE. does anyone have a clue for it?

11:35 am

Atalante

LOL its only really christmas presents, contents of which cannot be mention, just in case. BUT in Jan - Feb, I really *will* have a proper secret project

11:36 am

sprite

debjed, you lost. It starts de. And it is supposed to keep you from something.

11:36 am

Haz1558

It doesn't start with re - it's de, and is designed to stop you doing something for fear of the consequences.

11:36 am

Frances

Should we keep ears to the ground Ata?

11:36 am

sprite

snap, Haz

11:37 am

Haz1558

I know - let's hope she's on the same wavelength!

11:37 am

FMitch

Oh heavens Dawn French is on TV and she has put on so much weight

11:37 am

sprite

indeed so :)

11:37 am

debjed

thanks

11:37 am

Atalante

which channel?

11:37 am

Haz1558

More weight? Which channel?

11:38 am

Haz1558

We're like vultures!

11:38 am

FMitch

Ch4

11:38 am

Haz1558

Taking a look.

11:38 am

FMitch

It's a while since I saw her live so to speak

11:38 am

Frances

Do you think that's why she no longer does the chocolate orange ad?

11:38 am

sprite

you guys are terrible! Poor Dawn!

11:38 am

caitlyn

Oh she really has put loads more on..it cant be healthy for her

11:38 am

Haz1558

You're right - she is bigger.

11:38 am

Atalante

ooo she has

11:39 am

FMitch

I feel awful for her sprite I am not being catty

11:39 am

Atalante

she's got gorgeous colour hair though

11:40 am

Atalante

there, thats nice and positive

11:40 am

sprite

ah, ok FMitch... am sorry for her too. Hope it isn't bothering her too much.

11:40 am

sprite

good girl, Ata :P

11:40 am

caitlyn

And a lovely face

11:40 am

FMitch

yup, love the colour.

11:40 am

Haz1558

She always claims to not be bothered by her weight, but she looks as though it's going to be more of an effort to move around etc.

11:41 am

caitlyn

Of her face??LOL

11:41 am

Atalante

she is still very pretty. and there's not being bothered by the fact of weight, and being bothered by the effects of it

11:42 am

sprite

if she gets really big, it will be in her way a lot, I know. I can tell when I lose a couple of kilos, I can lie easier in bed and turn around and such.

11:42 am

Haz1558

Anyway, have to go as husband has arrived home. He thinks he needs something to eat.... bye!

11:42 am

FMitch

Bye Haz, good to see you.

thanks ch1212, thought they're both a little poorly at the moment. Sean went straight to bed when he got back from playgroup at 3.45 and he is still there!! loves his sleep!

12:02 pm

Takuma Sato

hiya red

12:02 pm

Atalante

LOL ok, missed you really

12:02 pm

redshoes

I was on holiday for a week and then slammed when I got back to work. =)

12:03 pm

FMitch

Hi Takuma

12:03 pm

ch1212

oh... I work at a church, and we sponsor a children's play group twice a week, so the little ones peek into my office from time to time. I'm a frustrated grandma!

12:03 pm

redshoes

and I couldn't get a decent signal all weekend at home. Trust me... I tried. =) Missed my babbling!

12:03 pm

Denny

i'm really looking forward to the new series of battlestar galactica starting - hopefully in the new year. have you seen Men in Trees?

12:03 pm

Takuma Sato

hiya mitch

12:04 pm

redshoes

anything new I should know about around here?

12:04 pm

Takuma Sato

could someone offer a clue for the non-mammalian 'O' word starting from the top 'O''?

12:04 pm

ch1212

I haven't yet -- it's on at the same time as a program my beloved husband enjoys watching, and since he is so good about watching Grey's Anatomy with me, I try to indulge him too

12:04 pm

ch1212

takuma, change the second vowel on the mammal

12:05 pm

redshoes

I heart Grey's!

12:05 pm

Takuma Sato

thanks ch. huh -- that's a new one to me

12:05 pm

ch1212

Only 2 more 'new' episodes left unless they resolve the writer's strike

12:05 pm

Denny

it's eally good - I have been pleasantly surprised - altho anne heche's voice grates a little - but there are some lurverly men up there in Elmo Alaska!!

12:06 pm

redshoes

and, once again, I lobby for "dern" to be a word.

12:06 pm

Takuma Sato

I use that one all the time, red

12:06 pm

Denny

are you seeing the new series of Grey's anatomy at the moment? with the new interns?

12:06 pm

ch1212

The premise kind of reminded me of Northern Exposure (if you remember that show), and it looked promising.

12:06 pm

Takuma Sato

thankfully this grid will not give me the chance to Charlie-Brownedly try 'thar' again

12:06 pm

redshoes

Ch-- I have a friend who's a writer but not in the union... she says the strike is really just making people mad. =(

12:07 pm

ch1212

Oh yes, we tune into Grey's every week. I'm glad they are continuing the storyline of "Ava"

12:07 pm

redshoes

"thar she blows!" "dern it!"

12:07 pm

Denny

i never watched northern exposure (too young i think!). Who was Ava?

12:07 pm

Takuma Sato

I have a friend who writes for TV, so I've been getting the other side ;)

12:08 pm

ch1212

Ava in Grey's Anatomy -- last season she was the patient with amnesia who fell in love with that one intern, and at the end of the season her husband came to fetch her. This season she has returned for a couple episodes.

12:08 pm

ch1212

Ah, any hint of a solution yet Takuma?

12:08 pm

redshoes

I bet Takuma. There's always two sides, aren't there?

12:09 pm

Denny

oh yes I remember - fell for Alex, whose character I really warmed too in the end. My favourite is Bailey - she is hilarious!!

12:09 pm

redshoes

Bailey is sooooo great.

12:09 pm

ch1212

LOVE Bailey! And she's getting an expanded storyline this year too.

12:09 pm

Takuma Sato

sounds like they've been close for a little while -- I think there are models of the sort of agreement they're looking for out there

12:09 pm

redshoes

Vah-jay jay. hehehehehe

12:10 pm

ch1212

I hope so, Takuma. The writers are the core of every non-reality show, and deserve appropriate compensation.

12:10 pm

Takuma Sato

but I think these sorts of strikes tend to be long to resolve, since there isn't just one contract or agreement at issue (like in, say, the aircraft controllers' case) but lots of them

12:10 pm

Denny

cool - will have to keep an eye out for the new series

12:11 pm

ch1212

I've enjoyed chatting but now must finish the laundry and then dive into this grid again. Thank you all -- have fun!

12:11 pm

Takuma Sato

ciao ch

12:11 pm

caitlyn

Bye ch1212 see you soon

12:11 pm

redshoes

right. Poor writers never get enough credit. Always goes to the actors, producers, etc.

12:11 pm

redshoes

bye ch!

12:12 pm

Denny

I must away too and see if my little boy wants his tea

12:12 pm

caitlyn

Bye Denny..see you

12:12 pm

Takuma Sato

in this case, the main beef is over revenue from online distribution

12:13 pm

Takuma Sato

see you, denny

12:14 pm

redshoes

bye Denny!

12:17 pm

Gkmandy

48 words so far how many more?

12:18 pm

Takuma Sato

179 total, GK

12:18 pm

Gkmandy

12:18 pm

EvaNadine

*le sigh*
i decided to be healthy for lunch today and get a salad...
i went to place it on the scale at the register, and the lid popped open and half my salad exploded out of the container!
i didnt know i ordered the kamikaze salad!

12:19 pm

Atalante

awwww

12:19 pm

redshoes

hehehehehe. Must have been "spring" greens...

12:20 pm

Takuma Sato

booo red

12:20 pm

caitlyn

Oh poor Eva!! Have a chocolate to make up for it

12:20 pm

redshoes

O=D

12:20 pm

Gkmandy

takuma I meant whoo ok lol

12:20 pm

Takuma Sato

I figured, gk ;)

12:20 pm

Gkmandy

ok

12:21 pm

caitlyn

LOL red!!

12:21 pm

Takuma Sato

is the 9 common and/or compound?

12:21 pm

caitlyn

Its de 9 a common word

12:22 pm

Vicuna

9 is a real word, not a compound, is a noun made froma verb

12:22 pm

Takuma Sato

(btw, I think the most appropriate response to good puns is complaining -- that one was so good and quick that I grimaced in real life, red)

12:22 pm

Takuma Sato

thanks vic and cait

12:22 pm

Atalante

hi viiiiiii

12:22 pm

Vicuna

Howdy, Ata, and everyone!

12:22 pm

redshoes

what can I say? I'm a very punny person.

12:23 pm

Takuma Sato

I got the 9 right away after that -- thanks again guys

12:23 pm

Vicuna

My kids are too young to get puns and it's very frustrating! Especially when they try to make up their own knock knock jokes. =P

12:23 pm

redshoes

ok ok ok... I'm done with the puns... for now.

12:23 pm

caitlyn

Time to sort the supper out..chicken curry and rice
Hi and bye Vic..see you all tomorrow.bye

12:23 pm

Takuma Sato

ciao cait

12:24 pm

Atalante

oh dear, do you have to laugh madly at all the "jokes"?

12:24 pm

Vicuna

Bye, Caitlyn. Enjoy your supper.

12:24 pm

redshoes

I like to think of puns as "advanced humor"

12:24 pm

redshoes

I mean... it takes some extra thought to play with words like that. =D

12:24 pm

Takuma Sato

heh vic -- I know that situation. I want to encourage the kids to make jokes, but in particular *good* jokes

12:24 pm

Vicuna

Well, I often do laugh, but only because of the nonsensical nonsequitors.

12:25 pm

Takuma Sato

heh, good point red

12:25 pm

redshoes

nice Vic.

12:25 pm

Atalante

lets have an example :D

12:25 pm

Takuma Sato

heh, the pythons made a career out of non sequiturs ;)

12:25 pm

Vicuna

An example might be something like "Knock knock" Who's there? "Bathtub." Bathtub who? "Bathtub, time to eat your lunch!"

12:26 pm

Takuma Sato

(or, rather, a bunch of careers)

12:26 pm

Takuma Sato

I laughed out loud at that, vic

12:26 pm

Atalante

looool awwwwww

12:26 pm

redshoes

huh... bathtub... lunch... *ponders*

12:26 pm

Vicuna

I try to explain that it should involve a word that can be taken in two different ways, but they just aren't there yet!

12:27 pm

Vicuna

Stop pondering, redshoes! You'll hurt yourself!

12:27 pm

redshoes

too late, I believe! ha.

12:28 pm

Takuma Sato

wait, vic -- do they laugh uproariously after they make jokes like that?

12:28 pm

Vicuna

Anyway, the point is that redshoes is right and a certain level of sophistication - somewhere above 5 years old - is required for puns!

12:28 pm

Vicuna

Yes they do, Takuma. They think they're hysterical.

12:28 pm

Takuma Sato

that's one of my favorite parts of kids' joke-telling

12:29 pm

redshoes

I think that's rather brilliant Vi. Being able to laugh at oneself is truly one of the most wonderful traits ever... in my humble opinion. =)

12:29 pm

redshoes

at least they're on the right track!

12:29 pm

Vicuna

I still have fond memories of a kid I was babysitting trying to tell me a knock-knock joke and laughing so hard I couldn't understand a word he said.

12:30 pm

Flask1

Hi all....clues for be5/14?

12:30 pm

Sandieangel

Boo Hoo I had a car accident today. somebody slammed into the back of my car at a traffic island!!! CAr a horrible mess and my back and neck hurt. Seeking solace in babble but as my head is fuzzy I may be popping up and asking for help.

12:30 pm

Flask1

please...sorry...:-(

12:31 pm

Atalante

oh nooooooo sandie!

12:31 pm

Takuma Sato

12:31 pm

Vicuna

Oh yuck, Sandie. Hope you feel better soon!

12:31 pm

redshoes

oh no, Sandie! have you checked for concussion?

12:31 pm

Sandieangel

Yeah - went to the hospital - got whiplash and lower back trauma!!!!

12:31 pm

redshoes

yes, please see a doc!

12:31 pm

Flask1

Oh Sandie am sorry to hear it

12:31 pm

redshoes

sorry Flask... don't have that yet

12:32 pm

Takuma Sato

ah, good -- so the fuzziness is from the treatment and not the accident

12:32 pm

Sandieangel

am on mega strong painkillers which is why my head is fuzzy.

12:32 pm

Flask1

ok thanks

12:33 pm

montreal13

12:33 pm

Takuma Sato

I haven't gotten that one yet, either, flask

12:33 pm

redshoes

oh gosh, Sandie. I'm glad you got treatment! How long do you have to be on the meds?

12:33 pm

Sandieangel

It felt fast. He said his brakes had locked and he couldn't stop!

12:34 pm

montreal13

be5/14 is some kind of reddish nut i believe

12:34 pm

Vicuna

be5/14 - nuts chewed for a mild narcotic effect, be + Willion ---l of apple-shooting fame

12:34 pm

Sandieangel

Got to wait and see how I am in a few days then they'll see if I need further treatment.

12:34 pm

Well, my ad for Animal Reiki is in the current edition of Tails magazine. But there is a major spelling error. They have heath instead of health. I e-mailed the person who placed the ad, asking for some type of compensation.

1:31 pm

oh no! stupid ad people!

1:32 pm

Ata, I am really disappointed and upset about it. The only consolation is that the ad reads correctly on their on-line directory

1:32 pm

hi ms.dubi

1:33 pm

I asked them to do that Ata and am waiting for a response

1:34 pm

Atalante

they certainly should do at least that!

1:35 pm

periwinkle

I agree Ata, will let you know what she say

1:35 pm

periwinkle

*says* even

1:35 pm

Uniquity

Oh Peri! Of all the words to mistype...health into heath actually means someting

1:35 pm

Atalante

if they don't, we will deluge their email with unimpressed letters

1:36 pm

periwinkle

Yes, I know, Uniquity. Really disappointed. And the magazine is for Dec/Jan. Will have to wait til Feb for a corrected version.

1:36 pm

periwinkle

Thanks Ata, appreciate the thought

1:37 pm

EvaNadine

its always disappointing when someone elses error reflects poorly on you and its not even your fault!

1:37 pm

Uniquity

That's supremely unfortunate...as suggested though, the compensation could be even better! Or maybe people will be wondering what the ad was REALLY about and will check it out from curiosity!

1:37 pm

pabtrek

clue for the do8 please

1:37 pm

cybernan

with all the other french words we get, why not head!

1:38 pm

Atalante

to put a happy slant of light on it, most people will just read "health" anyway. Thats what they expect it to say

1:38 pm

cybernan

do 8: add the chicago lrt to one who makes little circles

1:38 pm

periwinkle

I am hoping that is true Ata, but I still want to be compensated

1:38 pm

Atalante

definitely!!

1:39 pm

Uniquity

Maybe if we all send letters of complaint...

Well, Scarlet, there was a major spelling error. They had heath instead of health. Only response I got so far was from another magazine. They wanted to know if I would place an ad with them. Much more money than Tails. I said not at this time

3:20 pm

tizer

missing 2 pe 6/21 1 is between more moss and alert

3:21 pm

periwinkle

I e-mailed the person I placed the ad with and asked for compensation, ie. discount on next months ad or an additional month at no charge to me

3:21 pm

Scarlet

OH, peri... in publishing, when you are paying for an advertisement, you can call and nicely demand that because of the spelling error, they should be willing to run the ad one more time at no cost to you.

periwinkle

HOw long can they stay in the freezer. was thinking of putting them in foil and then in a freezer bag.

3:23 pm

Scarlet

Wait until they are completely cool... very important. Then wrap tightly in Saran or other plastic wrap. Then wrap in heavy-duty aluminum foil, and then place in a Zip-lok bag!

3:24 pm

periwinkle

ok, thanks so much

3:24 pm

Scarlet

They can be frozed for at least six to eight weeks, peri.

I was stuck on that same te.

3:50 pm

Scarlet

LOL... glad the monkeys were awake!

3:50 pm

tizer

scarlet is our hero

3:50 pm

mrpresident

house selling is nightmarish... especially when the agent is being a fool!
I was very angry at the auction cause he knew what we wanted to sell the house for, but he brought around auctioners who had $50,000 less.... a**hole

3:51 pm

AsGreen

the last ta5?

3:51 pm

tizer

ok all - if cubfan comes online pls send my warmest...

3:51 pm

Scarlet

Oh, no! Oh, mrp... I am so sorry for the anguish!

3:51 pm

mrpresident

I only have a couple of handful and feetful of a's and b's to go

3:52 pm

Scarlet

Like the sticky road covering with a double consonant and the second vowel on the end.

3:52 pm

mrpresident

well, I let him have it (a piece of my mind anyway) and he brought up people all through the afternoon who loved our house and the price we were asking

3:52 pm

Uneaixoise

still glowing with spray tan, mrp??

3:52 pm

Judi

So, did the house sell, Mr. P? Or did you tell the auctioneer to go pound sand?

3:52 pm

Scarlet

I am hoping that it all works in your favor, mrp!

3:52 pm

AsGreen

urg, thx Scarlet! glad you got so ahead of me! :)

3:53 pm

Scarlet

LOL, asgreen.. glad to help! :-)

3:53 pm

Judi

What a dimwit agent. Assuming he/she is going to make a commission on the sale - you'd think he'd want to bring in the most qualified buyers.

3:54 pm

mrpresident

told the auctioneer to pound pavement and eat sand if he thought for one minute we were accepting $50,000 less

3:55 pm

mrpresident

Judi, the problem is that he is attracting buyers that don't have enough money... making them feel all gooey about our house, then when we reject their pathetic offers, he sells them a less desirable house.

3:56 pm

Uneaixoise

disgusting

3:57 pm

Scarlet

I guess that integrity is not high on the priority list of this agent, mrp.

3:57 pm

AsGreen

darn - I gotta go again - man time flies! 44 left - bbl

3:57 pm

Judi

Again, what a dimwit. Only making more work for himself. Well, hope it all works out in the end. Last thing you need is the aggravation, I'm sure.

3:57 pm

Scarlet

Later, asgreen!

3:57 pm

mrpresident

hi une! yes it is.... this is what makes selling houses such a nightmare, the agent!

5:48 pm

MLFAN17

7:36 pm

7:40 pm

Mom

thank you TO

7:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

yw, mom!

7:41 pm

tygerbryght

all you newbies - welcome. I recommend you read the "help" link. and then you try Lickety's page (link in list at lower left hand corner of this page). that's where we get those 2 letter thingies with numbers that we talk about

7:41 pm

evanonut

owlly baaaaaaybeeeeeeeee

7:41 pm

angelinaxox

that was the one thanks eieios

7:41 pm

Mom

:)

7:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

nutty buuuuuuuuuuuuuudy!

7:42 pm

nanachichi

one thing is for sure, you cant be afraid of these computers like i am

7:42 pm

tygerbryght

nana, the only way Lickety's page puts things here is with Babble Expert. I recommend you learn a bit more about Babble before you try that. I'm afraid it would merely cause greater confusion for beginners

7:42 pm

evanonut

don't worry about the shady mom, i think i achieved 100% damage control.

7:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

wassup nut?

7:42 pm

nanachichi

i found that page, typed in the words i found, then wrote them all out on paper, and copied them here, lol,,,

7:42 pm

tygerbryght

nana, the computer won't bite, I promise. It's just a machine, sort of a glorified typewriter.

7:43 pm

evanonut

procrastinating owl, i'm supposed to be packing and finishing up laundry

7:43 pm

tygerbryght

nana, that's not too different from what I used to do.

7:43 pm

angelinaxox

nana if you highlight all your words in your list next to the grid and hit copy, you can then go to the bulk add on lickety and hit paste there

7:43 pm

angelinaxox

lol tyger

7:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

lacking? where goest thou?

7:44 pm

evanonut

you mean packing? back to the hospital again.

7:44 pm

tygerbryght

ange, that's only with Explorer (of course, if nana's a real computer novice, Explorer is probably in use there)

7:44 pm

angelinaxox

AsGreen

ei, I'm not sure which one I have of those yet

8:40 pm

danf63

eieios - change the last letter of the do6 below it

8:40 pm

danf63

the 1st do6 is more of the do5 above it

can't wait to read your review on it Feather.

9:22 pm

featherbee

excerpt: Still in my coat and hat, I sank onto the stair to read the letter. (I never read without making sure I am in a secure position. I have been like this ever since the age of seven when, sitting on a high wall and reading "The Water Babies", I was so seduced by the descriptions of underwater life that I unconsciously relaxed my muscles. Instead of being held buoyant by the water that so vividly surrounded me in my mind, I plkummeted to the ground and knocked myself out. I can stell feel the scr under my fringe now. Reading can be dangerous.)

pardon any typos, was typing that without looking up

9:24 pm

featherbee

that paragraph was on the second page in, and was when i started loving the book

9:25 pm
