Bye Mi. Joe - page & divis now -- nearly everywhere in the city living or working for abt 30 yrs. If I know the place you mean, I tried it awhile back when I still had taste buds. Probably really good for USA, esp. since South indian is not that readily found, but not the Real real thing. Fremont has a large community - meaning to try there.

1:06 am

Joesdinner

ahhh. yeah - i thought it was good, but i didn't have anything to compare it too.

1:06 am

jwr

Fran is that the last 5-count word or the last five words to fireworks? Either way, congrats.

Vernon and further north were expecting a dump tonight.

1:44 am

2:51 am

dcseain

as James Nicolls said: "The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary."

2:52 am

sprite

not anymore you haven't Fran. I had to go to the sinbin just now and it is finished. Lovely.

2:52 am

well my pc is having another pissyfit

5:40 am

dcseain

excellent question, carlee. it's in the news here, but mostly we sit back and wait for at least 25% of the states to have their primaries/caucauses before we make much of it.

5:40 am

dcseain

cause, well, there'se only so much one can learn from Iowa and New Hampshire.

5:41 am

carleekat

u know...the on ly guy down there that I like....( as a canadian viewing US politics)... is richardson

5:41 am

carleekat

I like hillary..but the idea of having bush/ clinton in office for 24 years..is just too scary

5:42 am

herinfernallady

Carlee oh my gods i never thought of that

5:42 am

herinfernallady

Carlee oh my gods i never thought of that

5:42 am

carleekat

and I like obama..but the m ess down there...if he does not clean it up perfectly... then the race card will always historically be thrown down ( goes for hillary too )

5:42 am

dcseain

excellent point that last one, carlee.

5:43 am

carleekat

edwards I think is too decent a guy

5:43 am

dcseain

and i'd not thought about the bush/clinton thing. though we survived 16 of 20 years with Adamses in the office 2 centuries ago.

5:43 am

carleekat

richardson would be so cool..he excellent in international relations..and knows how to deal with border issues

5:43 am

herinfernallady

later gators my nets freaking out

6:40 am

KatieMcG

6:41 am

weegee

Ah, I've good memories of x-country skiing in the caldera outside of Chama, New Mexico

6:41 am

carleekat

going up to 30F and sunny here scrabs..there might be hope for u

6:41 am

pinkhatlil

toothache has to be the worst kind of pain there is!! i have the same problem at the moment but im too scared to see my dentist!

6:42 am

Scrabbler

It will warm up when the sun makes its full appearance. And, Lil, get to the dentist before it is really bad and an emergency!

6:42 am

nancethefan

gm y'all

6:42 am

I know what you mean pink, it was only the pain which convinced me to go!

6:44 am

carleekat

now..1 s and am finished

6:44 am

pinkhatlil

well, i can see myself going in the near future....i hate dentists they frighten the hell out of me and always seem to look unkept!!... bye weegee have a good day!

6:45 am

6:48 am

pinkhatlil

bye carlee!

6:48 am

Uniquity

Congrats Carlee, and Pink, go to the dentist. Yiou gotta set a good, non-frightened example for little Pink!

6:49 am

KatieMcG

Little pink definately has to go so whe has nice teeth when she grows up :-)

6:50 am

pinkhatlil

i know Uni, i will go cos im in a lot of pain myself! lil pink will never know that i have a fear of dentists, she goes already!

6:51 am

Uniquity

I think you'll be surprised what she'll pick up...my mum is not afraid of dentists, but had to go a lot when i was little. as i grew up, i became terrified of them even with my mother being a strong influence of them being good.

6:54 am

pinkhatlil

i wasn't scared of them growing up, but what really put me off them, was hearing this big man screaming his head off as the dentist drilled his teeth. I was genuinely freaked out!

6:54 am

Uniquity

Ay! That is why dental rooms should be soundproofed. The waiting is traumatizing, not what they do to you!

6:54 am

KatieMcG

I just don't like the pain, noise and smell, however as I've got older I don't like the cost either :-(

6:55 am

pinkhatlil

do you pay for your treatment katie? i thought it was free?

6:56 am

Uniquity

The cost is ridiculous. Two small fillings and a checkup cost the same as my two pair of brand new high precription AND thinned glasses.

6:57 am

johnnyrocket

hello everyone.. this one is difficult today

6:57 am

KatieMcG

No it costs quite a bit if you do not get NHS treatment, it's still quite expensive even if you get NHS but have to pay.

6:57 am

KatieMcG

It should be about Â£180 for the two wisdom teeth to be removed.

6:58 am

pinkhatlil

oh, wow...shows you how often i go to the dentist lol

6:58 am

pinkhatlil

hi johnnyr

6:59 am

KatieMcG

your right Johnny I'm really having problems :-)

6:59 am

johnnyrocket

only 42 words and ready to get help from lickety

6:59 am

metaleather

*returns from thermostat smacking bearing cocoa for all

7:01 am

Uniquity

Wow! I wish! Here, it is over 100 bucks for a tooth to be removed but you pay about twice as much at least to get a wisdom tooth out. I likely need all mine out and will result in over 1000. Thus, I don't do it. University doesn't lend itself to big spending

7:10 am

Uniquity

Sorry, I killed the chat :(

7:12 am

metaleather

you? nah, I thought it was me and the cocoa

7:12 am

metaleather

guess everyone's just eyeball deep in the grid

7:14 am

Uniquity

Mm, cocoa!

7:14 am

metaleather

chocolate hazelnut to be precise

7:15 am

Uniquity

I am not big on hazelnut, but I might make myself a cup of hot chocolate in a minute..

7:16 am

metaleather

I have amaretto too and white chocolate almond and chocolate mocha

7:16 am

KatieMcG

Sorry lost attention again!! I have two meetings this afternoon, must remember not to make any major decisions :-)

7:16 am

Uniquity

I guess you have quite the selection! A connosieur? Man, I can NOT spell that word.

7:16 am

metaleather

:o)

7:17 am

Uniquity

connoisseur is what I meant

7:17 am

metaleather

ya got close enough even if it isn't right

7:18 am

Uniquity

The silliest words are immensely difficult to spell sometimes

7:18 am

metaleather

indeed they are

7:18 am

metaleather

alright, time for Lickety... I made it to at least half way and have at least one word from every usable box on the grid

7:19 am

Uniquity

I am trying for halfway...closest I will have got without a list so far, but I don't see it happening!

7:19 am

KatieMcG

Hey you've done well metal. I have ground to a halt on 99 words and still have 5 boxes with no words off :-)

7:21 am

metaleather

I got stuck at about eighty five words and had to get up for a change of scene. when I came back, the words were difficult, but some have been findable.

7:22 am

johnnyrocket

can someone explain to be about the points. For instance. Am5, 14... how do you get the 14?

7:22 am

Uniquity

I am only at 68...have decided to work box by box. I am not used to stat tiles, yet.

7:22 am

metaleather

most of mine so far are the short ones... only have 1 7 and 10 of the 33 6's

7:22 am

fustuche

so what is the deal? how do the letters need to be connected in order for a word to count?

7:22 am

Uniquity

Johnny, 5 represents number of letters in word and 14 represents total point value of all letters. Because it is a five letter word, you add up all tiles then multiply that number by 2. For a 6 letter word, it would e point toal multiplied by 3 and so on.

7:23 am

johnnyrocket

okay.. I got ya! Thanks uni

7:23 am

KatieMcG

Could I have a clue for the i on the top row. It is now the only box I don't have a word for!!

7:23 am

Uniquity

Metal...I have almost all 4s, 3 6s, no 7s! I always need list to guide me to biggies

7:25 am

metaleather

katie... think a 5 letter word for shy.... then take off the beginning consonant for one word, then make it plural for another

7:25 am

fustuche

could anybody help me out, please?

7:25 am

metaleather

what help do you need fustuche?

7:26 am

Uniquity

fut - each letter in the word needs to have contact with the next letter via tiles. Can be side by side, up/down and diagonally.

7:26 am

fustuche

well, i was trying to figure out...oh, thanks uniquity - you answered my question. thanks, metal, too.

7:26 am

Uniquity

If you have jsut started, I suggest you read the help section (above chat) and angelsongs babble page (below grid in friends of babble box). Each of these contains information to start you off.

7:27 am

Uniquity

Oh, and you can't use the same tile more than once in the same word.

7:27 am

fustuche

oh ok, i'll get to reading. thanks.

7:27 am

metaleather

same letter yes, same exact tile no

7:27 am

fustuche

imids

7:28 am

fustuche

sorry, wrong box

7:29 am

metaleather

'salright fust... it happens to all of us at one time or another

7:30 am

fustuche

aw, this is giving me a headache and anger from very early in the morning! :)

7:30 am

Uniquity

If you need any other explanations, shout out! Someone always answers eventually, just many have been here so long or so little that they have forgotten or don't know how to restart

7:31 am

Uniquity

It's quite similar to boggle, gridwise. At least, the way I always played boggle. If you are frustrated, there is also "lickety's babble clues" below the grid in friends of babble box. That shows you how many words start with which letters, which will nudge you on the way!

7:31 am

fustuche

excellent...thanks, very helpful

7:32 am

metaleather

ahh nuts, I realized I can't go to Lickety's yet... no word from the bottom left S

7:32 am

Uniquity

I just read back, thanks for the i word metal, I was trying to get some

7:32 am

8:13 am

Angelsong

I don't know about five years ago, because I wasn't doing design then. but I enjoy XML a lot.

8:14 am

XML...hummm, will have to look into that... when i have some time...

hi Uni and Vicuna !

8:19 am

8:19 am

Vicuna

Mighty chilly here, too. Only - 10 C, but that's cold enough for me.

8:19 am

EvaNadine

Don't you have a period of reflection allowed? We have up to six weeks to register the birth of a baby and think of names.

8:21 am

musicmom

not that cold Montreal. My husband and I did a mission trip to Manitulin (sp) Island about 13 years ago. I wanted to stay but he wasn't so keen on the idea

8:22 am

Vicuna

With a c-section she has a lot longer before she'll be leaving the hospital. Your niece could go 4 or 5 days without a name!

8:22 am

musicmom

9 F was pretty cold for here this morning. We sometimes get negative temps but not often.

8:22 am

Vicuna

(oops, and I said a word, too. So that's my contribution.)

9:07 am

pinkhatlil

im not really here vic..im sort of between watching my daughter and her friend play, washing clothes, and babbling!

9:07 am

Vicuna

Okay... watching children may count as wi4 animal training...

9:08 am

pinkhatlil

lol

9:10 am

Haz1558

Trouble? Me? Getting into trouble?

9:10 am

Vicuna

I know, I know, it was a crazy thought.

9:10 am

Haz1558

I'm still trying to come to terms with the concept.

9:11 am

Haz1558

It would mean I would have to do something wrong, wouldn't it?

9:13 am

Haz1558

I'll ponder that while I take daughter to hairdresser. Back soon - unless I ram-raid a shop along the way.

9:13 am

pabtrek

9:13 am

Vicuna

Okay, Haz. See you later - a report back on the mayhem!

pabtrek

thanks Vicuna

9:23 am

Vicuna

Good morning, pabtrek. In the interests of livening up the chat log today, would you be willing to try some sword-swallowing?

9:25 am

pabtrek

hmm, maybe, i do need a tonsilectomy

9:25 am

Vicuna

I like your positive spirit. Always looking at the bright side.

9:31 am

hurshy

*whistles*

9:31 am

Vicuna

Hurshy! Can I count on you this morning?

9:31 am

hurshy

count on me for what?

9:32 am

hurshy

or do you mean like, count using my fingers.

9:32 am

Vicuna

To liven up the chat log!

9:32 am

hurshy

oh, um, i don't know. i'm at work and can never tell when i may need to disappear

9:32 am

harpjane

hello

9:33 am

Vicuna

Oh sigh. Where has all the mayhem gone?

9:33 am

harpjane

does anyone have an icon clue today?

9:33 am

Vicuna

Hello, harp! Can you do any tricks?

9:33 am

hurshy

i can produce mayhem this evening if you like.

9:33 am

Vicuna

Hmmm... Let me look at my selection of words and see whether any seem inspiring...

9:34 am

Vicuna

Alas, I always try to finish before dinner these days, so your kind mayhem would not benefit me.

9:35 am

Vicuna

I can give you a clue poem:

9:35 am

Vicuna

Here's why Ida
Pulled a spider
From her glass of apple ci5:

9:35 am

Vicuna

a) to save its life and b)
To have her ci5 spider free.

9:36 am

harpjane

good poem, thanks vic!

9:38 am

Vicuna

Glad to be of service. I don't have any exciting words yet, I'm afraid.

9:45 am

hurshy

9:46 am

Vicuna

You trying to make me read int he face?

9:46 am

Vicuna

or even red in the face?

9:48 am

johnnyrocket

I would like to say that doric is a word.. it is a type of colum

9:48 am

johnnyrocket

column.. ha ha

9:48 am

hurshy

we've complained about that, yea, many and many a day now...

9:48 am

Vicuna

Yes, johnnyr, that word has been a source of frustration many times before. =P

9:50 am

hurshy

lol vi - put a blank icon up for de6/24

9:50 am

Vicuna

But Corinthian would certainly be a proper noun, so I suppose Doric may be, too.

9:52 am

Vicuna

de6/24, eh? looking...

9:52 am

Vicuna

ahh, very good!

9:53 am

Vicuna

I probably already have an e5 icon floating around somewhere, but that isn't so exciting...

9:55 am

harpjane

i just spent half an hour looking for a good picture of the guy who sings "you are sixteen going on seventeen"

9:55 am

harpjane

couldn't find one

9:55 am

Vicuna

lol, harp. Was it that difficult?

9:56 am

harpjane

couldn't find a good one anyway

9:56 am

Vicuna

The internet is always easy for everything except the one thing I want at any given moment!

9:58 am

harpjane

i learned some interesting trivia though

9:58 am

Vicuna

Such as?

9:58 am

johnnyrocket

Back later. If anyone sees Haz, tell her I await a full mayhem report.

10:15 am

hurshy

when i was in k-g, half the kids did am and half pm for half the year, then we switched. i had afternoon the first half. when we switched to morning i was so afraid of missing the bus, i got up at like 2 or 3 AM and dressed and went down to wait on the couch (i had no clock). my mom found me asleep there when she got up.

10:15 am

flosey

good morning all, lol, fingers in wrong position there

10:15 am

Haz1558

I'm back. Somebody wanted mayhem?

10:15 am

Vicuna

MAYHEM!

10:16 am

hurshy

sure, show up when she has to leave...

10:16 am

Vicuna

And just when i have to go, no fair!

10:16 am

Anniebrook

hello everyone? is mayhem on the agenda?

10:16 am

Haz1558

Sorry!

10:17 am

flosey

morning Annie and Haz

10:17 am

Haz1558

But do you want to hear how I got another driver into trouble? He got himself into trouble but I witnessed it.

10:17 am

Anniebrook

hi flosey!

10:17 am

hurshy

do tell

10:17 am

Anniebrook

Please tell us, Hazel!

10:18 am

cheeky

here is my phantom word of the day .... chloride

10:19 am

armygrl75

hi everyone!!!

10:19 am

Haz1558

Well, in the manner of a police report..... I was proceeding along a dual carriageway (two laned highway) and in the process of accelerating to pass a lorry (truck), when I noticed a blue car behind me. This blue car driving man was impatient. He decided not to wait for me to finish passing the lorry, he moved into the inside lane, swerved in front of me and passed the lorry.

10:19 am

flosey

hi armygrl

10:20 am

Deeha

undertaking how dare he!!

10:20 am

Haz1558

I flashed my lights at him but sweeter yet was the sight of blue lights flashing behind me. I passed the lorry, and was then overtaken by a police car. It pursued the blue car man, brought him to a standstill and I whizzed past. Justice was sweet and swift.

10:21 am

Deeha

as the kids say - well wicked Haz!!!

10:21 am

flosey

wow Haz, sounds like some Toronto drivers

10:21 am

Haz1558

It cheered me up no end, I can tell you.

10:21 am

flosey

indeed, sure feels good to see them get caught

10:22 am

Deeha

Wil we see it on Road Wars soon!!

10:22 am

Anniebrook

the blue car man will get his just deserts! Am I using the correct desert?

10:22 am

Anniebrook

That would make me feel very, very good. Yay for Haz!

10:22 am

Haz1558

I think so, Annie, coming from what he deserves?

10:24 am

Anniebrook

Yes, that makes sense. You are our Chief and you illustrated the correct on the highway as you should!

10:24 am

Haz1558

So, the moral of the story is, if you're going to do something stupid, check your mirrors beforehand. And then DON'T DO IT.

10:24 am

Anniebrook

*correct way

10:25 am

Anniebrook

or dont get caught! BUT that is cheating!

10:25 am

Haz1558

Anyway, apologies for interrupting the chat - I must scroll back to see what I've missed.

10:25 am

o-o

there is only a moral to the story if you get caught

10:26 am

Haz1558

I'm glad he got caught. Was that immoral of me?

10:26 am

Aloyisius

hip hip hooray for sweet revenge! Logged on just in time to read your story, Haz.. yay.. (-:

10:27 am

Haz1558

Hello Aloy - nice to see you!

10:27 am

flosey

wow, those th words are odd - but easy

10:27 am

Anniebrook

BR???? Who is the man in your icon?

10:28 am

Aloyisius

just came back from the airport.. aah, last of the chilluns is gone; now grandma and grandpa can relax some

10:29 am

Haz1558

You can relax with babble, Aloy. You enjoyed your time with them?

10:30 am

Aloyisius

oh, yes, Haz.. we had a wonderful holiday! Did your daughter come home from school ?

10:30 am

flosey

ah aloy, the bliss of the peace and quiet - wonderful to have them but the commotion can wear thin eh

10:30 am

Aloyisius

you know it, flosey.. (-:

10:30 am

flosey

or wear heavy perhaps

10:30 am

Haz1558

Yes, she did. She's been here since 21 December and going back on Sunday. It's going to be a busy semester for her.

10:31 am

Haz1558

Once she goes back, I may well be able to distinguish the colour of the carpet in her bedroom.

10:31 am

Aloyisius

LOL.. understood!

10:31 am

ylleria

1 to go - I'm missing an sa 6/21 - can anyone help?

10:32 am

ylleria

i have the plural of the sa 5/12

10:32 am

o-o

the man is a rancher who lost his entire herd of cattle to a mud sl 5.12

10:32 am

Haz1558

The other one puts a vowel on the end of sa5/12

10:32 am

Aloyisius

try the pl of the sa5.12

10:32 am

ylleria

ah, got it, cheers haz :)

10:33 am

Haz1558

Well done ylleria.

10:33 am

Aloyisius

10:33 am

Aloyisius

10:33 am

Haz1558

Glad it helped, Aloy.

10:38 am

Scrabbler

Hi all.

10:39 am

Anniebrook

Hi Scrabbler! Did you play tennis today?

10:39 am

Aloyisius

hi, Scrabbler!

10:39 am

chiley

FYI....rodent + ha4/5 is not a word.

10:40 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I am back from tennis and the next activity is cross-country skiing. My friend will arrive soon. She had to let her dog out to pee before she comes here.

10:40 am

Aloyisius

how much snow do you have?

10:40 am

Scrabbler

Chiley--how is your grandson's skin condition?

10:40 am

Haz1558

Hello Scrabbler.

10:41 am

Deeha

I am looking for one of the first am5.14?? I have got the a+rodent any help appreciated!

10:41 am

Scrabbler

We have a foot or snow and it is 20F but sunny. It will warm up into the 40's in the next few days.

10:41 am

chiley

Much better, thanks. I guess it was just one of those childhood mysteries.

10:42 am

Scrabbler

Change the ending vowel

10:42 am

flosey

could I have a clue for re6/33 please?

10:42 am

Aloyisius

Don Am5.14 had a handle-bar mustache

10:43 am

o-o

re 6 --- add princess ****ger; plural

10:43 am

montreal13

re+ she's a ****ger

10:43 am

montreal13

re+ she's a ****ger

10:43 am

Haz1558

re6/33 - a colour followed by the last three quarters of the state that voted yesterday.

10:43 am

Deeha

got that one thanks it is the one before or after I am looking for Aloy.

10:43 am

Aloyisius

super clue, Haz! got it

10:44 am

Haz1558

Glad it worked, Aloy and it's pluralled as well.

10:44 am

Scrabbler

Ty, Hazel

10:44 am

Anniebrook

re 6 is a polish dance, never would have seen that without the clues, thanks all, not using the list

10:44 am

Aloyisius

the one before has the rodent in it, so you must need am4.6 with a different vowel, two versions actually

10:45 am

Scrabbler

New word for me--I never would have tried that ending

10:45 am

flosey

thanks Luc and Haz

10:45 am

Aloyisius

ooh, missed the plural.. double thanks!

10:45 am

Haz1558

No problem!

10:45 am

flosey

strange word!

10:45 am

Aloyisius

what I meant was am4.6 + two different vowel endings

10:46 am

Aloyisius

then you can extend the last am5.14 with the "alcohOL" ending..

10:46 am

flosey

ra7 please?

10:47 am

Haz1558

My icon is ra7, flosey.

10:47 am

Scrabbler

I just got through all of the AM words--yippee. I have to get ready for skiing--packing lunch to eat in the lodge next to the fire.

10:47 am

flosey

ah, thanks Haz

10:47 am

Haz1558

I thought about putting the Cowboy series up, but even I didn't know the actors - just the name.

10:48 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, flosey.

10:48 am

Aloyisius

my Labrador used to LOVE that ra7

10:48 am

Haz1558

I knew you'd know, Babble.

10:49 am

Haz1558

I can hear the theme tune but that's about all I remember of it.

10:50 am

Haz1558

Rowdy Yates - I presume he was the strong, silent type?

10:51 am

Deeha

I often am a DT too, hurshy

hurshy

ohhh.

11:02 am

metaleather

hi Aloy, and all who've entered while I've been ensconced in the grid

11:02 am

Aloyisius

add a consonant to the am5.14 right before

11:02 am

Deeha

sorry had my head down! she is 6 months old next week

11:02 am

Haz1558

Would a drunken DT sometimes have the DTs?

11:02 am

Aloyisius

howdy, metal..

11:02 am

Aloyisius

phone.. brb

11:02 am

metaleather

he would Haz, but he wouldn't believe he did

11:03 am

Haz1558

6 months is a great age. Old enough for you to know what they want, not old enough for them to move too far.

11:03 am

o-o

I expect DT's are susceptible to dts

11:03 am

MLFAN17

i only have 2 5/14's and neither of those work

11:03 am

hurshy

i'm not sure sandburg is correct, however. when referring to Jesus, the Bible states that he was not born of a husband's will and whatnot, but by God. which sort of implies that God is letting people go ahead and have kids by their will. and presumably when the world ends, there will still have been babies born up til that time.

11:04 am

hurshy

so i think a baby is just a baby, and a cigar is just a cigar, and that's why people smoke cigars to celebrate a new baby.

11:05 am

Haz1558

But not in the vicinity of the baby, hopefully.

11:05 am

hurshy

course not - in the hospital waiting room... no wait... not anymore...

11:05 am

billmster

DE/6/24 ashortage of something

11:07 am

MLFAN17

11:08 am

Haz1558

Or, add the first two letters of Mr Hardy to the am4/6.

11:08 am

hurshy

11:09 am

rururocks

thanks haz OH great one!

11:09 am

MLFAN17

haz can you clue the AM4/6?

11:09 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, ruru.

11:09 am

Haz1558

am4/6 - indicating that you are in the centre of things.

11:10 am

Haz1558

Or, am plus two letters to indicate who you are.

11:10 am

hurshy

or who your baser self is...

11:10 am

MLFAN17

ty haz i got the plural too

11:10 am

11:11 am

hurshy

11:12 am

hurshy

11:12 am

MLFAN17

11:12 am

hurshy

11:12 am

MLFAN17

haz what is the at 7/48 clue please

11:12 am

Aloyisius

a + ***shipman from Annapolis?

11:13 am

hurshy

that would be brabble's clue, mlf, but plural.

11:13 am

bbnaz

AM5.14 the second or AM5.14 the last please....I cannot monkey either one

11:14 am

Haz1558

am5/14 the second, change the vowel on the end of the rodents.

11:14 am

Aloyisius

the last am5.14 is a plural of the first am4.6, subject of many clues, lol

1:56 pm

carleekat

4:42 pm

bubba218

Hip buristis is quite common, due to the fact that ther is a fixed bursa in the hip, just like the shoulder. Many times cortisone injections will resolve the problem, if it recurs then you have to determine if there ios a mechanical cause.

4:42 pm

ChrissieDee

tyger was your problem bursitis too?

6:27 pm

Scrabbler

Great, great, Tyger!!!

6:27 pm

crpw48

you are lucky you found a good therapist

6:27 pm

crpw48

6:27 pm

joanne0334

6:27 pm

tygerbryght

yes, I was very, very fortunate

6:27 pm

joanne0334

6:28 pm

pam

6:28 pm

lilliann

that's where we have it easier here with not having insurance we go to the hospital and see different doctors as much as needed

6:28 pm

tygerbryght

my faith in God holds me up, CRP. without it, I doubt I'd have survived until I got help

6:28 pm

joanne0334

has anyone heard of a show (stupid) jerry springer??

6:29 pm

crpw48

oh yeah

6:29 pm

tygerbryght

that's unfortunate, joanne. you could have been at least somewhat prepared

6:29 pm

Scrabbler

Same for me, tyger---God has carried me through so much.

6:29 pm

joanne0334

it's a throw your family smut out there..well my family ranks in there'

6:29 pm

tygerbryght

6:30 pm

lilliann

my hubby lost his mam 12 years ago and she was in her 50's and she told him she was dying but not his dad or brother so he could look after them

6:30 pm

joanne0334

yes tyg ..i was but she just wouldn't tell me

6:30 pm

joanne0334

6:45 pm

joanne0334

6:46 pm

tygerbryght

6:48 pm

joanne0334

ouch lillll ..does he wake up hurt?? hehe

6:49 pm

tygerbryght

he'd probably have to go to a sleep clinic first to get it

6:49 pm

tygerbryght

you could search on CPAP and get info

6:49 pm

aknitter

7:59 pm

hurshy

when thou misseth an easy word, thou hittest oneself with a fish, thereby giving rise to the application of the term "fish" to an easy word.

Hi Feather

8:11 pm

Uniquity

I am watching "when good pets go bad" and it is making me so frustrated. This particular example wasn't even a bad pet...the owner of a pit bull told it to attack a police officer. That is the "owner's" fault...not dogs.

8:11 pm

featherbee

i suppose i could start the grid. i have nothing better to do. but i don't think i'll get to finish

8:11 pm

lbdawger

most "bad dogs" have bad owners, Uni. Barbara Woodhouse wrote about that in her book "No Bad Dogs"

8:12 pm

redturtlehead

Go for it Feather. I have 41 only, but I figure who knows....maybe...

8:12 pm

lbdawger

sure you can feather. we'll help with the oddball words

8:12 pm

Uniquity

Exactly...a taught behaviour is a learned behaviour

8:12 pm

featherbee

do we have lickety's list for this? is he back in business?

8:12 pm

saphyre

I have a pit - she is a sweetheart - she might lick you to death but that is about it

8:12 pm

Uniquity

Feather, I made my personal best with list today, way over half...if I can do that, you can finish!

8:13 pm

lbdawger

feather, lickety's back up

8:13 pm

Uniquity

**without list. Gosh, I need to hire a typist

8:13 pm

aknitter

oh feather....
Roll out the barrel, we'll have a barrel of fun
Roll out the barrel, we've got the blues on the run
Zing boom tararrel, ring out a song of good cheer
Now's the time to roll the barrel, for the gang's all here

8:13 pm

featherbee

10:31 pm

hurshy

10:31 pm

hurshy

banana pudding would be good.

10:31 pm

jesdraggon

i have to disagree, hursh. with enough sugar and cinnamon, practically ANYTHING is dessert ;)

10:31 pm

JBsAnno

*sends a serving to hurshy with a topping of whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon*

10:31 pm

SaddySolar

10:34 pm

JBsAnno

10:35 pm

JBV

I thought I was done up to the t's but now I see I have some d words missing - can I have a clue for do 5/14 - need 2 more (have the greek edibles)

10:35 pm

renfield

li5 = li + a bad egg or what garbage does

10:35 pm

carolvm

ty stid!

10:35 pm

SaddySolar

yes JB... English is a second language... but its a compulsory part of our curriculum in pakistan.

10:36 pm

jillibus

hello all

10:36 pm

harpjane

thanks

10:36 pm

stidmama

JBV, you probably need the italian word for "sweet" do + tall letter + last two letters of the ri 4 pudding

10:36 pm

DR1965

Hi Jilli!

10:36 pm

stidmama

hey jill! hello harp!

JBsAnno

10:37 pm

hurshy

10:37 pm

stidmama

try the italian plural of the do 5/14 (change the last vowel)

10:38 pm

jillibus

stid -- slow but steady -- we're open but only sort of half way -- roof repair has to wait for 3 dry days and you know how rare those are at this time!

10:38 pm

JBsAnno

Seconds hurshy's question to Saddy!

{{{harpjane! jillibus!}}}}

10:38 pm

JBV

oh, boy, brain freeze - I actually speak Italian!

10:38 pm

stidmama

hmph. maybe you'll be open when I come see you again in the summer...

10:38 pm

JBV

thanks, stid

10:39 pm

SaddySolar

are u asking me hurshy? aah im not political at all... and i think my country's politics has gone to the dogs... but no one is taking the elections very seriously... cuz we all expect them to be rigged

10:39 pm

jillibus

I have one word to go -- th6/33 *ducking fish*

10:39 pm

JBsAnno

is Italian your second native language, JBV?

10:39 pm

stidmama

*grin* I don't anymore JBV, but it sure comes in handy, the little I remember! (gelato, spaghetti, do5)

10:39 pm

stidmama

th 6/33 was mine too Jill -- take the A off the AT 7

10:39 pm

jesdraggon

at7 minus the a

10:39 pm

SaddySolar

lol

10:39 pm

JBsAnno

aah, stid, words after my own heart

10:39 pm

jillibus

stid -- we HOPE it will be done by the beginning of March

10:40 pm

SaddySolar

want to know what my Third native language is JB lol... Piglatin!!!

10:40 pm

stidmama

YAY JILLLERROOOOO!!!!!!!!!

10:40 pm

JBV

JB English is my native language, Italian spoken in my home but I had to study it in school, Spanish is my stronger second language

10:40 pm

stidmama

well it's handy to know Saddy -- if you teach middle-schoolers!

10:40 pm

hurshy

so what is it like to live there? i mean, a lot of people have said that sort of thing HERE (well not as much with the rigging, but, cynicism) - but life is fine overall for most people and the gov't doesn't seem that important to them... is that how it is?

10:40 pm

JBsAnno

OLOay, Saddy!

10:40 pm

jillibus

ty stiddy!!! *fish coming sideways*

10:41 pm

stidmama

are you looking for chum or king tonight Jill?

10:41 pm

JBsAnno

hurshy, I'm channeling you tonight, my thoughts as well!

10:41 pm

SaddySolar

a dialect that my brothers and i invented... so its probably different from the piglatin you would be familiar with

10:42 pm

stidmama

*grin* that's the best kind of latin, imho!

10:42 pm

JBV

there's one more do 4/5 I need (the one after the greek food) - help, please

10:43 pm

JBV

do kids speak pig latin anymore? I used to love that

10:43 pm

stidmama

JBV: sounds like the things you walk through to get inside and the fin on top of a dolphin?

10:43 pm

redturtlehead

Ok, officially, I dislike the grid now....I liked it earlier...but something happened.

10:43 pm

SaddySolar

um hurshy... like i said im not into politics .. but yeah people generally dont care. The problem in pakistan is that most political leaders are just landowners with a huge following... they are in politics because their Fathers were in it... not because they are interested in the wellbeing of the country...

10:43 pm

jillibus

hilarious video!

10:44 pm

stidmama

we thought so too, jill!

10:44 pm

JBsAnno

Ah, it's almost midnight here, and DH beckons me to bed, so I must away. Thanks for the MCJL, stid; glad you enjoy Babble, Saddy; Yay jilibus!; grrrr, ren; and {{{{{hugs}}}}} to all!!! *poof*

10:45 pm

hurshy

10:45 pm

stidmama

10:45 pm

renfield

10:45 pm

carolvm

ty ren!

10:46 pm

jillibus

just heard yesterday -- not from her -- guess she's really busy

10:46 pm

renfield

sweet zzzzzzzzz' jb thanks for the ri4 pudding

10:46 pm

SaddySolar

a majority of our country (esp the rural area) follows an ancient feudal system.. where landowners own HUGE pieces of land.. and the people who live on the land are blindly loyal... and they basically constitute the votebank...

10:46 pm

stidmama

I suppose she is, jill... I haven't heard from her since before xmas either

10:46 pm

jillibus

saddy -- this is very interesting

10:46 pm

SaddySolar

hurshy our country is in chaos right now... we crossed the verge long ago

10:47 pm

hurshy

so how does that affect everyday life?

10:47 pm

renfield

why did hetty sell her home?

10:48 pm

stidmama

{{{{Saddy}}}} I do not understand the long history behind those systems (I also have friends in Georgia); but I know that the difficult elections and government problems are rife. I am wishing for your country a more peaceful life.

10:48 pm

jillibus

ren, she is moving to Victoria near her daughter.

10:49 pm

SaddySolar

well not too much really... everyday life is the microlevel of the situation... the repurcussions are mostly at the macrolevel.... however some changes do happen... like things staple foods and stuff have suddenly become really expensive... and property values have gone down... the stock market isnt doing that well etcetc

10:49 pm

renfield

is she taking all of her books with her?

10:51 pm

jillibus

I don't know, rennie! I think it's a downsize -- to a nice place on what is known as the Gorge waterway, where her hubby can keep his beloved kayak and keep on going

10:51 pm

stidmama

I can't imagine hetty moving anywhere that she couldn't take her books...

10:51 pm

hurshy

thanks for taking the time to tell me a little about it saddy, i appreciate first-hand info very much.

10:51 pm

SaddySolar

also because of msBhuttos assasination.. a lot of other factions are taking advantage and looting and causing general disruption...

10:51 pm

renfield

that sounds nice jilli.

10:51 pm

SaddySolar

but things have settled down now... lifes back to normal almost

10:52 pm

jillibus

ach, looting! What a horrible thing for people to do

10:52 pm

hurshy

do you feel like it is a temporary situation or likely to worsen?

10:52 pm

SaddySolar

YW hurshy... what is it exactly that you do?

10:52 pm

hurshy

oh that answered that one :)

10:52 pm

JBV

saddy, this must be a terrible time for your country - we are all following this news and hoping for the best outcome

10:52 pm

hurshy

10:52 pm

stidmama

10:58 pm

hurshy

i wonder if people nicknamed him "rocky" if it would help his chances. it seems stupid to me but i guess a lot of people do like those movies.

10:59 pm

hurshy

it doesn't really fit him though, he's too classy.

10:59 pm

jillibus

I think Obama should call himself Barry

10:59 pm

hurshy

no way!

10:59 pm

renfield

my dad's name was barak - in hebrew it means lighting

11:00 pm

jillibus

but as you say, hursh, he's too classy (except he smokes)

11:00 pm

she is to see her neurologist on monday morning.

11:25 pm

jillibus

I hope they gave her some treatment, doxy!

11:26 pm

doxy1lover

not much they can do. nothing showed on the CT scan. They patched her eye for the weekend, which corrected the double vision. My sister and I are taking dinners in to her this weekend, and she has some great neighbors that will help keep an eye on her as well.

11:27 pm

jillibus

oh good -- she will be looked after well
