12:11 am

MLFAN17

12:11 am

FranMag

12:11 am

MLFAN17

i have one big one

12:14 am

jwr

nothing against C's per se, but as Fran says, Qu's are quite quizzically satisfying. (especially without their U's, which can't happen here, I guess. Has dr. g ever put up a Q without a U?)

12:14 am

MLFAN17

well two actually

12:14 am

MLFAN17

6 and a 7

12:14 am

jwr

jill, little words mostly are all we're going to get out of this one (prediction -- *neck sticking waaay out*)

12:15 am

jillibus

12:15 am

FranMag

Rummied should be a word.

MLFAN17

nonnie thats what i thought as with a y i thought i was the wrong spelling for that word

12:17 am

renfield

i agree nonnie

12:18 am

jwr

Nonnie -- rummied is a word we used to use as kids playing gin

12:18 am

FranMag

12:18 am

jillibus

belated hellos to all of you out in babbleland (was that an old time radio-announcer line?) -- apologize for seeming to jump in and out but I'm working on a crisis line so sometimes the hi's and bye's get truncated.

herinfernallady

12:41 am

jwr

ty jilli - I do enjoy when I have tme to do both. Not so much admirable, lynx, as satisfying. well, most of the time. This is a kind a stress one adjusts to -- not the kinds that come down on one's own head. I think there's someone else who Babbles while doing pretty much the same thing. ... now that I said goodbye, I have a quiet set of telephones... hmmm.

12:41 am

MLFAN17

herin better it then you lol

12:42 am

MLFAN17

jwr

lynx - I don't have family anymore. Think about the things you do for your loved ones every day -- kids raised, pets vetted, living in the suburbs and other dangers ... and how you have to be ready for anything. Now THAT's admirable.

message for "too stinkin hot" people: how's this for weather? going home from work last night, my bus driver turned grey, stopped the bus on the verge as we were exiting the off-ramp. What he saw in his rear-view mirror was a megaton 18-wheeler (truck/ pantechnicon/lorry, depending on your location) topple over on its side. Then a second. Then a third. whoosh, horrendous crash, shrieking metal sliding across the highway off the Bay Bridge. Another passenger called up the news on his hand-held whatsit and got the report of 75mph winds gusting to over 100. ... Soaked to the skin when I got home but there seemed to be no damage. Except when I happened to glance out the window: where the day before had stood a gloriously fat-fruited and foliaged fig tree was now stripped to the bare twigs; not a sign in the garden that there had ever been anything living there above grass level. Damn. Once in 12 years we get Weather here. But then it's a doozy.

herin, reports say they were really shook up (the drivers) but no badly hurt. One of them described it in a sailing term I don't remember, the feeling when the sail isn't properly secured and the wind catches it full in the wrong place and tips the boat over -- the wind just caught him broadside coming around the curve. In fact, as with the "big" quake and other local disasters the expected damage and injury never seems to reach expected proportions.

False alarm. A wrong number. Back to the important stuff -- heat there, wind here, blizzards in the Rockies where it's usually sunshine on snow that only falls politely at night. sounds like the old gl**al wa>>ing to me.

re ruru's climate report - true, except for San Francisco proper. Usually cool year round with some uncomfortable (Ahem! she coughed) two or three-day 'heat'waves' in early July or late September. Anything over 80F is hot. Spoiled rotten rotten rotten (which is why the rare storms freak out the natives)

3:00 am

Marmar

Sweet of you Lady. Since the kids have had Christmas break from school, they dominate the computer mornings. Today I cheated and turned on Saturday morning cartoons....we finally have some great channels that show the old classics, MGM, Popeye (the oldies), Jetsons. The new stuff can't compare.

3:00 am

herinfernallady

Yah. Damn Ru ru got me looking at homes in Napa Valley

3:01 am

Fran, my youngest, Marcus, has basically taught himself to read English with babble. He was doing good with German already and I have not been teaching, he is just picking it up with his big sisters.

I agree Fran. Have you heard that theory that babies are born with all the knowledge in the universe and as soon as we start "teaching them" we dumb them down....might be true.

3:08 am

mary, if you have a recipe for jaeger schnitzel i would love to have it.

3:10 am

Marmar

I love it here. I'm from Texas (which I love despite what I'm about to write) which is not very pretty, at least north Texas isn't. I love the whole atmosphere here, I think it's a better place to raise kids, not so much hectic, less competative...and the food....well, you know!

3:11 am

ah yes, the food. mmmm

5:11 am

ms_gilly

5:23 am

pinkhatlil

5:23 am

sprite

not too great, actually... lots of bad things happening en another part of body acting up. But morale is pretty much ok, and that is the most important, isn't it?
How are you doing, pink?

5:23 am

westford

I just did the picture can't figure out how to get my flag

5:23 am

sprite

by entering nationatily, westford

5:24 am

sprite

and to check the option that flag can be displayed!

5:24 am

westford

oh ok I'll go do that

5:25 am

ardilla

hello everyone

5:25 am

sprite

hi ardilla

5:25 am

pinkhatlil

5:26 am

pinkhatlil

hi ardilla

5:26 am

It is special.

5:31 am

pinkhatlil

brb lil pink stinks

5:31 am

westford

I'm back let's see if I have my flag

5:31 am

westford

oh boo not yet

5:32 am

sprite

westford, at the top of the profile there is a check: Show my profile. Did you check that?

5:32 am

westford

yes I did

5:33 am

westford

maybe it will show up the next time I log on

5:33 am

sprite

then I am out of ideas, lol. Restart browser, maybe?

5:33 am

sprite

or force refresh

5:33 am

westford

it did say something about refreshing

5:34 am

sprite

if you use IE, you could do control F5.

5:34 am

westford

ok I just did that

5:34 am

westford

I'm on Netscape

5:35 am

sprite

and still no joy... perhaps shut down the browser and restart it... that's all I can think of.

5:35 am

westford

I never use that but it was the one they recommended

5:35 am

westford

well at least I got a picture of KC..for Kitty Cat we couldn't come up with a name for him

5:36 am

westford

it will probably work when I come back later

5:37 am

sprite

I like that name, actually. And a sweet pic. Lots of cat lovers here, btw, they will all love your icon.

5:37 am

kathw

KC very pretty - hi all

5:37 am

westford

thanks for all the help sprite I really appreciate it

5:37 am

westford

he's our big fluffy boy

5:38 am

sprite

sorry it did not work out, westford, but I bet you are right about it working next time.
Hi kath!

5:38 am

westford

5:39 am

westford

5:39 am

westford

we do treat them well lol

5:39 am

pinkhatlil

awwww he must have ran away, and straight to you

5:39 am

sprite

just click on them, that should open the profile with the larger pic, west.

5:40 am

westford

thanks

5:40 am

westford

that's funny...says I'm a human from planet earth

5:40 am

westford

or do they all say that?

5:41 am

sprite

ah, then perhaps you did not enter your nationality and gender, or did not save it.

5:41 am

kathw

pink - we live towards the end of the Central Line and our son id trying to buy in the East End - prices still terrible all around though

5:41 am

sprite

no, that is the standard setting, west.

5:41 am

westford

I did enter but maybe you're right about not saving..off I go again. lol

5:42 am

pinkhatlil

no, you can enter you age, what part of the world you are from and give us nosy babblers some info about yourself eg likes and dislikes

5:43 am

sprite

that is something that I might do: filling it all in and then leave page without saving.

5:43 am

pinkhatlil

ok so you are "local" to me, do you live the loughton end or west ruislip end kath?

5:44 am

ardilla

pinkhatlil

hey jacula, how's you?

5:47 am

sprite

5:47 am

ms_gilly

night night all,see you next ime

5:47 am

Jacula

Yes, pink, those were among my phantoms. Also, 'officee'.

5:53 am

kathw

6:14 am

carleekat

i only have 7 words..but I had that one

6:15 am

jwr

West - it was me. I? No, me. We had Weather in San Francisco. Something that doesn't happen often. Central feature: winds at 75mph that caught at least three megaton 18-wheelers broadside and tipped them over on their sides on the highway. And our poor fig tree -- the day before a full-foliaged fruitbearer -- yesterday morn, a barebarknaked bunch of sticks. Gone though. The last time this sort of thing happened was 12 years ago.

6:15 am

sprite

sorry, was afk without telling, some domestic stress came up and I had to run. Back now, hi all new-incomers.

6:16 am

pinkhatlil

i was asking whether you snuck out the back door lol

6:16 am

pinkhatlil

is everything ok?

6:17 am

westford

oh that's too bad jwr

6:17 am

sprite

lol, yeah, something like that! But I left temporarily. Yeah, sorted things out. The right kids on their way to horseriding, the right kids upstairs playing runescape now, and all in peace again. Except me, lol.

6:17 am

ardilla

thanks carleekat

6:18 am

ardilla

sorry to hear that, jwr

6:18 am

westford

has it calmed down now?

6:18 am

sprite

some storm, jwr

6:18 am

ardilla

any clue for um pls?

6:18 am

ardilla

7 to go

6:18 am

sprite

go ardilla go!

6:19 am

sprite

um + vowel to call myself + jump into **tion.

6:19 am

pinkhatlil

thx sprite

6:19 am

jwr

nobody hurt as far as I know but lots of property damage. Two more storms due (well, rain -- having grown up on the Atlantic Coast, thunderstorms were a matter of course -- this is trivial stuff) but the next ones will be successively weaker. Hawaii is sending them and we're passing them Eastward. Good for the S. California fire danger, though.

6:20 am

jwr

um is that ticklish Inuit canoe

6:20 am

westford

I thought they were nice in Hawaii

6:21 am

westford

sending all that bad weather your way

6:21 am

pinkhatlil

i think hawaii suffers with a lot of tropical storms

6:21 am

westford

thanks for the canoe

6:21 am

pinkhatlil

...doesn't it?

6:21 am

westford

our daughter was on her honeymoon when the fires hit in October

6:22 am

jwr

babbler Fran is more than nice -- she denies responsibility ... could be an evil weatherman on an outer island...

6:22 am

westford

they didn't even know about them until they got to the airport

6:22 am

sprite

it is no way Fran's fault. Fran's a darling. And in Babble, we blame FMitch. :D

6:22 am

westford

their house was okay but she said they could smell the smoke for weeks

6:23 am

pinkhatlil

firewords!!

6:23 am

sprite

wtg pink!!!!!!

6:23 am

westford

I'm sure Fran is nice I was talking about all those other mean people

6:23 am

jwr

did they live in SoCal, west? or do they, I should say. What happened. Yes, Sprite. I agree about Fran. I had a sneaking suspicious about FMitch -- the person who ate all my gingerbread once, I think...

6:23 am

carleekat

<POMOM TOSS> for pink..w00t w00t

6:23 am

westford

we usually get our bad weather from the midwest

6:24 am

westford

where my husband's relatives live

6:24 am

pinkhatlil

thanks carlee and sprite

6:24 am

sprite

hehehe, sounds like FMitch :D
Where would we be without her!

6:24 am

westford

they're in San Diego..North County

6:24 am

westford

fires were really close

6:24 am

jwr

There's not much else to do in R.I. *wonders how many people she can offend in one chat*

6:25 am

westford

we were all out there for the wedding just days before

6:25 am

westford

oh I'm very sorry

6:25 am

sprite

well, let's say you can try. In how far you will succeed... ;)

6:25 am

westford

I'll go now

6:25 am

sprite

what's wrong, westford?

6:26 am

jwr

Did the fires get that far South? ... Just shows you how much us Northerners know about the bottom part of the state.

6:26 am

sprite

don't go... what are you sorry about and why do you leave, westford?

6:26 am

jwr

come back, westford...

6:26 am

sprite

I bet there is some misunderstanding.

6:27 am

jwr

did I say something? did westford really go? Oh dear.

6:28 am

scarydeb

hello all - help pls im5/16

6:29 am

sprite

now I am worried. I bet something we said went down the wrong way with westford, while we definitely meant something innocent. Hope she will be back soon.

6:29 am

sprite

hi scarydeb, sorry, is one of the 10 I am missing still.

6:30 am

scarydeb

hi sprite - i have ca6, im5 and ac5/16 left

6:31 am

sprite

ca6 goes almost like the ac5/16, deb, but with changed 2nd letter.
ac + 3 blind ***e.

6:32 am

jwr

sprite, the only thing I see that might have hurt westford's feelings was my crack about Rhode Island -- I should have happyfaced it, I guess. But I can't see anything that westford would say sorry for. I'm going to bury myself in the grid now -- 12 to go.

6:33 am

sprite

go for it, jwr. I don't know, sometimes things come across wrongly on typing. We can't do a thing until she starts talking again.

6:33 am

snapdragn

scarydeb - im5 is the same as im4 with an added vowel in the middle

6:33 am

pinkhatlil

west are you still there?

6:33 am

sprite

ah, thanks snapdragn

6:34 am

snapdragn

:)

6:34 am

jwr

you are kind, sprite, and I my fingers type faster than my brain sometimes.

6:35 am

sprite

we'll see, hope she will be back soon so we can sort it out.

6:36 am

jwr

If she comes back while you're there, please offer my apologies and: (:

6:36 am

sprite

will do, but it might be as well that I was the one that offended her in some way.

its on cable and directtv

8:14 am

JBV

BBL - going to get weighed in -

8:15 am

saphyre

most cable companies have it

8:15 am

LoriP

prodigy is a word that disturbs me greatly, when associated with a youngster and their skills

8:15 am

Uniquity

I don't have it as I only have regular cable

8:15 am

Scrabbler

And weighing in before the big fight, it's JBV!

8:15 am

NonoNanette

not sure if we get the game show network or not.... i will have to check

8:15 am

saphyre

good luck jbv

8:16 am

featherbee

ok, delayed long enough. gonna start laundry.

8:16 am

Scrabbler

How about gifted, Lori?

8:16 am

featherbee

daniel's doing a great job bathing his baby! i love watching him pretend plaky

8:16 am

Scrabbler

Shall I stop typing in QU words now?

8:16 am

featherbee

right...leaving...

8:16 am

JBV

would love to be a featherweight - not yet!

8:16 am

LoriP

They are all the same Scrabbler. The stigma and associated stresses are to overwhelming to create balance, IMO

8:17 am

saphyre

gifted - I always tell Kim that she got in line twice when they gave out brains, luck, and drive :)

8:17 am

NonoNanette

umm that's ok Scrabbs..... i did the same thing

8:17 am

LoriP

LOL Scrabbler, yes, it is futile......

8:17 am

Scrabbler

But what about kids that are truly gifted----kids doing math or reading way beyond their peers?

8:17 am

LoriP

Could be therapeutic for future grids though!

8:18 am

saphyre

When Kim was in elem. school they had a program that the kids attended one day per week - all day

8:19 am

saphyre

hands on gifted class

8:19 am

LoriP

All children have "gifts" some more markedly so than others. They should most definitely be nurtured, but not defined by them.

8:19 am

Scrabbler

The disconnect is a problem though. I have a sweet little boy in my practice, age 5, with Asperger Syndrome--very anxious and with trouble socializing, yet reading at 4th grade level. He started reading at 2 1/2 yrs. He fascinates me yet the school system cannot meet all of his needs.

8:19 am

saphyre

when she got to middle school the classes were seperated - what i didn't quite agree with is that her group got all the top teachers

8:20 am

LoriP

As a parent, I'm as proud as the next guy. Such labels tend to be more for parents, than the kids. With those strengths, are associated weaknesses, some obvious, some not.

8:20 am

Scrabbler

I agree, Lori. Have you read the book, "Multiple Intelligences?"

8:20 am

saphyre

I thought those teachers might be better for children who needed more help

8:21 am

Scrabbler

Schools are the limiting factor in identifying how kids learn best, and their strengths and weaknesses.

8:21 am

LoriP

No I haven't Scrabbler. I will check it out though. Sounds fascinating.

8:21 am

Scrabbler

Time for round #2 of coffee.

8:22 am

shorty

me too scrabs

8:23 am

saphyre

mee 3 brb

8:23 am

LoriP

***doles out liberal amounts of coffee***

8:23 am

Scrabbler

Another great book = "All Kinds of Minds"--by pediatrician, Mel Levine, that has written many great books. I saw him at a conference once.

8:23 am

saphyre

8:33 am

shorty

She was just an awesome dog my grand kids could lay on her sit on her and she would just sit there and let them

8:34 am

shorty

8:34 am

saphyre

That's how my Tiki was - my kids dressed him in doll clothes - held on to him when learning to walk -

8:34 am

saphyre

he was wonderful with kids

8:35 am

Scrabbler

I miss my old bunnies. I look out into the woods at my pet cemetery and remember my pals.

8:35 am

shorty

its actually as bad as losing a parent

8:35 am

shorty

awwww

8:35 am

Aloyisius

Feb. 7th of last year, shorty... this holiday we delivered a bunch of food and other supplies to the local Animal Welfare League in his memory

8:35 am

saphyre

:(

8:36 am

Scrabbler

I remember when Taz was sick.

8:36 am

shorty

oh that is a great idea!

8:36 am

saphyre

That's great Aloy

8:36 am

shorty

:(

8:37 am

saphyre

We lost our 17 yr old cat last year

8:37 am

Aloyisius

they really need help.. a news story prompted the idea.. a house with 46 dogs was raided.. terrible how some people treat animals

8:37 am

saphyre

She just wasn't the same after Tiki passed

8:38 am

Aloyisius

yes, Scrabbler.. and I remember your kind words of support, too..

8:38 am

saphyre

they were pals

8:39 am

Aloyisius

well, this isn't the cheeriest of chats, but you know.. it helps to share your feelings..

8:39 am

shorty

aww Thats sad saph

8:39 am

saphyre

true

8:39 am

shorty

yes it does Aloy

8:39 am

Scrabbler

When someone dies, their life is not over, is has merely changed!

8:39 am

shorty

how true

8:39 am

Aloyisius

i feel that way too.. the energy changes into other forms

8:40 am

saphyre

nothing like a puppy or kitten to make you feel a little better though

8:40 am

saphyre

we adopted a cat a few years ago and she is my baby

8:40 am

Aloyisius

our neighbor is nagging us to adopt a pup or kitten, and we surely will.. when the time is right.. too much traveling at present

8:41 am

saphyre

she was playing with the puppies with a squeek toy this morning

8:41 am

shorty

I thought for sure my coco would be depressed b/c they always played and she would sit on top of her when its was cold out but I didnt really see a change in her

8:42 am

saphyre

how old is coco

8:42 am

shorty

4

8:42 am

saphyre

puff was only 1 year younger than Tiki - they grew up together - so I guess it was more traumatic for her

8:43 am

shorty

and she had been with her from 10 weeks

8:43 am

saphyre

together for 14 years I guess

8:43 am

shorty

10:37 am

KatieMcG

Teeth. Two wisdom teeth coming out on tuesday, not looking forward to it but can't wait at the same time.

10:37 am

Joesdinner

woohoo. finally got the ro7. though one would think that having the ro 6 would have helped me find it a long time ago.

10:37 am

Joesdinner

ouch katie. i had mine out a few years ago. it hurts!!

10:37 am

lilliann

ahh, hope he gets better soon....that's a big puppy!!

10:38 am

lilliann

10:38 am

Joesdinner

poor thing. i always hate when animals are in pain.

JBV

good morning, back again for my last 17 - looking for the ca 6 (between the 4's), please

10:39 am

LadyNatts

thanks for the kind words lilli and joes... he is a big puppy... maybe it's harder on them?

10:40 am

Joesdinner

sorry jbv - don't have it yet.

10:40 am

KatieMcG

don't forget he is male...lower pain threshold :-) Joking apart I hope he feels better soon, lots of cuddles will help :-)

10:40 am

LadyNatts

joes, your comment about the ro7 helped me find it... can't believe I didn't see it earlier

10:41 am

Joesdinner

10:57 am

Joesdinner

10:57 am

KatieMcG

Joe I so relate to that. Crumble thinks I am actually her mummy so she likes to snuggle up to my hair at night (thinking it is fur), quite often she will lie right across both my mouth and nose, this either wakes me or hubby2be but I could be worry!

10:57 am

Flask1

10:59 am

Well, then, TNC, good luck.

mrpresident

i also spoke to my sister in law and she said the same thing, that i am to blame. oh well. so much for that

1:04 pm

stidmama

{{{{{****mrp****}}}}} I just read back. So sorry for the harsh feelings.

1:04 pm

Scrabbler

Why do people have to say what they are thinking when saying it would be harmful?

1:04 pm

mrpresident

he has been helpful yes... he also 'expects' them to apologise to me, but i don't want that at all, it only causes problems with people who are terribly stubborn

1:04 pm

MRP - sheesh - obviously they are not backward in coming forward! perhaps it is good that they moved further away. Is Lickety still happy with you - coz really that is all that matters!

1:05 pm

stidmama

If it helps you feel less lonely, mrp, I am not on speaking terms with most of my family of origin (for various reasons) but it's yucky. At least Tom's family tolerates me!

1:10 pm

1:10 pm

lbdawger

MRP, no problem, you have a bit on your mind. I feel for you and the inlaws. I like mine...in the distance...like 5 states away! :-)

1:10 pm

TeaNCrackers

:)

1:11 pm

stidmama

just rain Tea, we are only about 50 ft above mid-tide here ... but the hills around us will have snow I am sure. It's fairly warm near the sound, about 40

1:11 pm

Scrabbler

Fresh pot of hot peppermint tea is ready. Who wants some?

1:11 pm

mrpresident

yes dawg! that might just work out well for all of us! they are 300km away!

1:11 pm

TeaNCrackers

Some people think that if they can't pay all of it, then they won't pay any of it, and that's what hits them in the end!

1:11 pm

stidmama

I will Scrabbler... *drops a quarter in the jar to help offset taxes*

1:11 pm

TeaNCrackers

I want tea! :)

1:11 pm

lbdawger

oooh tea would be nice, thank you Scrabs

1:11 pm

stidmama

rofl... of course you do, and here are some crackers to go with it,.... *grin*

1:11 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, no, TNC, I will write the check, but it may use up most of the paycheck that comes a few days later.

1:12 pm

stidmama

wow. I have 11 words now! *zipping along*

1:12 pm

lbdawger

I rarely talk to my inlaws. Usually by accident, if i happen to answer the phone, which is a rarity.

1:12 pm

TeaNCrackers

Good, Stiddy. We lost power for about an hour last night. The kiddos had a tough time with it and we woke up to about 6 inches of snow.
Thanks for the crackers - as if I don't have enough. :)

1:12 pm

Denny

ooh and a nice rich tea biscuit *goes to get biscuit tin*

1:12 pm

Scrabbler

I work part-time, so that I can have a balanced life and not lose my mind, but then money gets tight sometimes.

1:12 pm

mrpresident

scrab, do they penalise you for not paying it all at once?

1:13 pm

Scrabbler

Slow down, Stid!

1:13 pm

stidmama

I have a new method LBD. Don't answer the phone. Let it go to the answering machine, and then if it turns out to be someone you want to talk to, pick it up like you had to run in from outside...

1:13 pm

Denny

*removes the chocolate digestives before anyone can see*

1:13 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, yes, MRP---penalties galore from the tax service, LOL!

1:13 pm

stidmama

It works every time, btw... ;-)

1:13 pm

TeaNCrackers

that's what caller ID is for!

1:13 pm

bogster

im4/ 6?

1:14 pm

ATTYCJS

Oops. Trial words ended up in the wrong spot! Sorry to hear about your problems, mrp--I firmly believe that one should not tolerate nasty behavior from family. Obviously, there is a way to say things and a way not to, but it is important that people be given the responsibility for their own behavior. We've been using "Parenting Teens With Love & Logic" in our house--and I've found the principles from the book work at the office and with my spouse, as well. Much easier to get along with everyone now, and I'm no longer a doormat.

1:14 pm

mrpresident

dawg, caller id will save me!

1:14 pm

stidmama

but sometimes the calls come from the house (I alwasy pick up for mother's cellphone)...

1:14 pm

lbdawger

i don't have all that "fancy" stuff on the phone. i usually do let the machine catch the calls, except on sunday, when my dad and sisters call. occassionally the MIL will call when we least expect it.

1:14 pm

stidmama

hello ATTY!

1:15 pm

Scrabbler

Yippee for not being a doormat---that has been my approach at the office over the last few yrs.

"Social Intelligence" is also a helpful book. "Parenting Teens" gave me practical approaches, though. A good therapist has also been a boon.

ATTYCJS

Mrp, "Parenting Teens" is by Jim Fay and Foster Cline. Mr. Fay was a school principal for decades and figured out some useful methods of dealing with kids/teens . Since most people still are kids inside, their approach works pretty well for almost everyone. Your local Borders or other bookstore should have it in stock.

1:22 pm

well, the thrift store for one

1:29 pm

hmph. so that elliptical isn't doing its job!

1:29 pm

Don't you hate it when clothes shrink? Stupid dryer!

1:30 pm

maybe if the nut could stop shoving food in her face it would work

1:30 pm

I am finally shrinking again now that the silly eat everything in sight season is over! I lost 2 kilos - 4 1/2 lb

1:31 pm

Good for you, M!

1:31 pm

*restrains self from kicking mrp*

1:31 pm

mrpresident

I have another 2 kilo to go! I shovelled food!

1:31 pm

stidmama

um, nutley? I have an idea... do you have full-spectrum bulbs in your lamps at home? I do. It doesn't just help the depression. Because I feel better during the winter I also move around a bit more automatically...

1:31 pm

stidmama

wow mrp! well done.

1:32 pm

mrpresident

oh nutty darling!! I love your big ass!!! my skinny skanky butt deserves kicking after the amount of food i consumed

1:32 pm

Scrabbler

Is ro7 related to ro6?

1:32 pm

evanonut

stid, i like the idea, but i've been moving into energy saving bulbs, guess they save people energy too?

1:32 pm

stidmama

no, ro 7 is a compound 4 + 3

1:32 pm

bubba218

yes, but ro7 is a compound word

1:33 pm

Mary

scrabbler, yes, first part is

1:33 pm

stidmama

there are full-spectrum energy-saving bulbs also... that's what I use. grow lights work too...

1:33 pm

Scrabbler

Got it--TY

1:33 pm

mrpresident

what is full spectrum?

1:34 pm

stidmama

wow. I am down to 24 words already. I suppose I could go use the list...

1:34 pm

evanonut

i'll look for them when i'm out stid, i didn't know they had them in energy savers

1:34 pm

Scrabbler

Suddenly I am on my last word!

1:34 pm

stidmama

3:40 pm

phandmd

that is weird

3:41 pm

rumplestiltskin

I uploaded it when Harpjane was on as we both play the harp and I wanted her to see it.

3:43 pm

sallyds

3:43 pm

crpw48

3:44 pm

montreal13

3:44 pm

phandmd

3:44 pm

rumplestiltskin

The dove co**** to its mate

3:45 pm

sallyds

Thank you pha. You can count on me to miss the obvious every time.

3:45 pm

rumplestiltskin

ty sallyds, wish it would show up on my list.

3:45 pm

crpw48

i had a hard time a couple days ago montreal, i think sometimes my brain just works better, so today was my day

3:45 pm

montreal13

wd sally !

3:46 pm

montreal13

'tis so crpw - we have our days...

3:47 pm

periwinkle

just checking

3:47 pm

phandmd

checking what, peri?

3:47 pm

montreal13

hi there peri !

3:48 pm

periwinkle

again

3:48 pm

crpw48

advise needed please, for my granddaughter, do you think a cell phone for a 13 year old is bad?

3:48 pm

periwinkle

to see if my icon has changed and it has not

3:48 pm

periwinkle

will try again

3:48 pm

rumplestiltskin

me to Peri, mine has not changed either on my screen although others can see it

3:48 pm

mrpresident

a couple of other babblers are finding that too peri, it might change later... did it accept the change?

3:49 pm

doxy1lover

I personally do not think children of any age need a cell phone, until they can pay the bill. My personal opinion.

3:49 pm

montreal13

my humble advice crpw: 13 is too young... even if most girls her age have one...

3:49 pm

phandmd

well, I think it depends on the reason you want her to have one. I personally don't think she should have one just to have one but if there is a need then go for it

3:49 pm

doxy1lover

de5/20?

3:49 pm

mrpresident

I believe a cell phone is important if you need to know where they are, depends on the reasons for it

3:49 pm

Niamh

hello all

3:50 pm

rumplestiltskin

I love your beautiful flower Peri, I will miss it

3:50 pm

montreal13

kind of coffee

3:50 pm

doxy1lover

hi niamh

3:50 pm

montreal13

doxy

3:50 pm

jimmel

im 5, anyone?

3:50 pm

crpw48

her parents say no, for reason of age, but i am so out of the loop for teenages, just wanted some outside advise

3:50 pm

Niamh

my son is in all sorts of sports and sometimes I wish he had a cell phone so I won't worry as much when he's carpooling

3:50 pm

Haz1558

Hello doxy - the trouble is peer pressure. A 13 year old doesn't NEED a phone, but may feel completely out of it if she doesn't have one. I held out until 2nd daughter was 15 but I'm unusually cruel.

3:50 pm

Niamh

he'll be 13 in August

3:50 pm

doxy1lover

thanks montreal

3:50 pm

phandmd

do you have the IM 4? if so add a U in the middle

3:51 pm

montreal13

hoover, insert vowel before last letter of im4

3:51 pm

rumplestiltskin

mrachoover, in + 1st vowel + 4th vowel + double hump

3:51 pm

jimmel

yes, thx to both of you!

3:51 pm

jimmel

oh, I mean all three of you! great!

3:52 pm

montreal13

:-) doxy, glad u got i t...

3:52 pm

phandmd

We use a pay as you go plan and we pay for the minimum air time for our kids so they can get in touch with us (they are both in High School) oldest has gotten ito texting, she has to pay for that

3:52 pm

Niamh

thanks for both i words!!

3:52 pm

crpw48

well, i cant get her the phone (i think i do want her to have it for safety reasons) but sometimes my influence on my daughter and son-in-law does go a long way, so i needed some input before i say anything

3:52 pm

phandmd

the youngest son wants a phone but we wont give him one; he is only in 7th grade

3:53 pm

Haz1558

Most parents buy phones for safety reasons, most children use them for social reasons.

3:53 pm

Niamh

I think if it's a pay as you go plan then the child can do chores to earn money for minutes

3:53 pm

crpw48

good point haz

3:54 pm

montreal13

right on hazel

3:54 pm

crpw48

pay as you go is a good thing

3:54 pm

Niamh

there are phones that are only capable of calling certain pre-programed numbers... like home, mom, 911

3:54 pm

Haz1558

I have two daughters who could talk forever on phones. One is Olympic standard already.

3:54 pm

phandmd

lol

3:55 pm

LadyNatts

how's everyone today?

3:55 pm

montreal13

if they "pay as they go", they might learn the value of money that way...

3:55 pm

crpw48

i will let you all know how it turns out, her birthday is the 14th,

3:56 pm

Niamh

hello LadyNatts!

3:56 pm

Yes, Watch a Movie called "Office Space" ...That is a fax Machine, but the same princapal apllys.....

4:51 pm

Haz1558

It seems to me they're getting worse. The fancier they get, the more they protest.

4:52 pm

icepyro

yes, but if it gets too bad, you could always take it to a field and beat it to death with a baseball bat

4:52 pm

4:55 pm

FMitch

Oh dear sorry darth and hello icepyro. Guess Haz has gone to beat the printer up.

4:55 pm

Haz1558

It has redeemed itself and has printed what I wanted it to. It just seems to think about it a lot.

4:56 pm

darthdude

Tis be okay FM.............

4:56 pm

I find it interesting that my printer at home is 8 years old and is only just now starting to mess up on occassion

4:56 pm

FMitch

Nice to see you H. Im getting used to a new printer and the noises it makes as it goes about it's business.

4:57 pm

Haz1558

Exactly - if it's not thinking, it's making clunky noises.

4:57 pm

FMitch

Wow, 8 years in printer years makes it about 105!

4:57 pm

icepyro

hmm think ill take home the rubber restorer and see if I cant get it to work better with that

7:39 pm

Mom

Hi everyone

7:39 pm

shdybr8

my little shady lady is about 40 pounds

7:39 pm

moonwoof

That's ok, ruru. That's common with good books, so I empathize, but it's reassuring =)

7:39 pm

moonwoof

Hiya Mom!

7:41 pm

rururocks

7:42 pm

moonwoof

The v word = past tense of "to strive"

Shhh, ruru. You get around to it when you get to it

7:45 pm

Mom

I doubt that :)

7:45 pm

moonwoof

Well, she's running late, that's for sure.

7:46 pm

evanonut

no really, you see, for a year or more i'll be a packrat, then i have to go through and purge everything

7:46 pm

Mom

that seems to be the cycle of things, Nutty.

7:47 pm

tijani

Help with the O words on the left side, and the T words

7:47 pm

Mom

sorry Tijani, I don't have those either

7:47 pm

rururocks

tij the opposite of "close the door"

7:47 pm

rururocks

is one of the o's

7:47 pm

evanonut

got this nice under bed container, trying to wrangle all of my shoes into it now

7:48 pm

Mom

well, duh? I can't believe I missed that. Thanks Ruru

7:48 pm

rururocks

the other is like the character that Ron Howard played on the Andy Griffith show

7:49 pm

moonwoof

the other o word was about an op** piece in tonight's news...

7:49 pm

Mom

thanks Ruru and Moonwoof

7:49 pm

peep

the other one is the past tense poetic form of the first one

7:49 pm

Mom

Nutty, I love those under the bed containers.

7:49 pm

rururocks

same first three letters and a different cons. at the end

7:50 pm

moonwoof

You guys are making me envious of beds that dont lay On the floor =P

7:50 pm

moonwoof

Damn my nomadic lifestyle!

7:51 pm

Mom

I don't think I would like a bed that lays on the floor

7:51 pm

moonwoof

Over the years I've found that beds pack easier with out frames...

7:52 pm

Mom

do you move alot, Moonwoof?

7:52 pm

moonwoof

And they're as comfortable... they just dont have cool hidey places for shoe containers.

7:52 pm

moonwoof

About every 2 months or so, mom.

7:53 pm

Mom

wow. I wouldn't like that at all

7:53 pm

moonwoof

Last week we were in MN. Today I'm in balmy AZ

7:53 pm

evanonut

honestly though, this amish framework, i need a stepladder to get into bed

7:53 pm

Mom

are you touring the country?

7:53 pm

Mom

lol Nutty

7:53 pm

moonwoof

My hubby likes those, too. I hate those. They make me feel like I'm like 3 years old with my feet a-swingin

7:54 pm

hurshy

please need help not getting hopes up

7:54 pm

Mom

Hi Hurshy.

7:54 pm

moonwoof

Sort of, I guess. If touring can count for only going to 6 different states.

7:54 pm

Mom

it is at least something new, Moonwoof

7:55 pm

moonwoof

Ok, Hursy. It'll never work out. Don't get your hopes up.

7:55 pm

moonwoof

Ok, Hursy. It'll never work out. Don't get your hopes up.

7:55 pm

evanonut

six states is like all i've ever been too...and canada

7:55 pm

hurshy

that's what i thought.

7:56 pm

moonwoof

That's true, mom. It's not boring. But I do miss the hidey holes you get in real places to live.

7:57 pm

pam

howdy, all...

7:57 pm

Mom

you don't have a regular place to live? I don't mean to be nosy

7:57 pm

Mom

Hi Pam

7:57 pm

moonwoof

I've been to all the states, except Hawaii, which I plan on fixing next year. But I only work in 7 states.

7:57 pm

moonwoof

ing Pam

7:57 pm

hurshy

hi pam

7:58 pm

pam

hi, moon, mom, hurshy, and all!

7:58 pm

moonwoof

Oh no. I kind of do. In MN. But I'm only there about 5 months out of the year.

7:58 pm

moonwoof

That Should have said "evening"

7:58 pm

Mom

I like Minnesota. I have been there twice.

7:58 pm

hurshy

what is your job?

7:59 pm

moonwoof

Ok, on my nosy side... Why are we telling Hurshy it'll never work?

7:59 pm

moonwoof

I like it, too. When I'm there =)

7:59 pm

moonwoof

I make leather clothing and accessories like hats and purses.

8:00 pm

Mom

that is neat, Moonwoof

8:00 pm

hurshy

because if hurshy gets her hopes up, they will be dashed later, and that would be bad. wow, that's neato moon.

8:00 pm

moonwoof

I have to have some place to keep all the stuff I collect travelling =)

8:00 pm

pam

What wouldn't work, hursh?

8:01 pm

moonwoof

I have had many worse jobs. But as Mom pointed out everything has a down side. Like no cool under bed containers...

8:01 pm

hurshy

well... i picked back up the book "what should i do with my life?" today, cause you know, my job, it's just a job, and the people are nice and all but, it would be cool to do something i cared more about, you know

8:02 pm

ardilla

good morning all

8:02 pm

moonwoof

Hurshy, I have found that my hopes are rarely dashed if I plan in advance that they'll (my plans) go to heck. So good start, girly.

8:02 pm

pam

okay, following you, hursh

8:02 pm

pam

Hi, ardilla

8:02 pm

hurshy

now, the other day i was seeing about jobs and real estate in iowa, on account of how cool the caucuses are

8:02 pm

ardilla

does anyone have clues for ca6 & ca5 pls?

8:02 pm

hurshy

but today i was like, ok, let's be a little more practical

8:03 pm

hurshy

ca6 - related to an element used in some batteries

8:03 pm

pam

I have an acquaintance who lives in Iowa and doesn't recommend it, LOL. (She's originally from NJ)

8:03 pm

hurshy

ca5 - ooo, what a tweet widdle place to go spelunking

8:03 pm

moonwoof

I have friends there, too, and I intentionally go thru it all the time. It Really depends on what part of Iowa, hursh. Otherwise it's Boring.

8:04 pm

hurshy

so i popped on the internet to see if there were any interesting sounding jobs being advertised

8:04 pm

pam

lol on the ca5

8:04 pm

hurshy

i mean being advertised here, in my current state.

8:04 pm

ardilla

tyvm hursh! 4 to go!

8:04 pm

Mom

Hi Ardilla

8:04 pm

moonwoof

Ok. And you found something, I take it?

8:04 pm

pam

oh, gotcha now, Hursh

8:05 pm

ardilla

hi mom

8:05 pm

hurshy

now you see my trouble is that i never do have a good idea of what i want to do, and everything that does sound possibly interesting i would generally have to go back to school for since my degree is so impractical, and i haven't any money for classes so i'd rather see if i could do something nice without that

8:06 pm

hurshy

and, well, there was a job advertised for someone to teach skills to the visually impaired to help them live independently

8:06 pm

pam

can't find the ca6 though I know the battery material...

8:06 pm

hurshy

it's an adj pam

8:06 pm

pam

That sounds interesting, hursh.

8:06 pm

pam

thanks, got the adj!

8:07 pm

hurshy

now i don't have a degree in visual rehabilitation therapy and whatnot that they said their ideal candidate would have, nor do i have any experience in such work

8:07 pm

ardilla

ca + 4th letter + speak into the ***rophone

8:07 pm

Mom

thanks Ardilla

8:07 pm

moonwoof

have you called on it, yet, Hursh?

8:07 pm

hurshy

but i mean, ok, let's say you're blind, it's not just about the practical stuff, right? it's the emotions and the psychology too

8:08 pm

gwenski

Hey all! Anyone like to clue im5 or co5 for me?

8:08 pm

pam

I think life experience has value, too, and that it always pays to apply

8:08 pm

Mom

Hi Gwenski

8:08 pm

hurshy

so, i wrote my cover letter about how i have had to overcome an anxiety disorder to live on MY own and how i could relate, and how i have teaching experience, and how i am a quick learner

8:08 pm

pam

I did 10 years of direct care with non-verbal developmentally disabled adults and I was an english/linguistics major...

8:08 pm

Mom

Sorry, Gwenski, I don't have either

8:09 pm

praise2him

hey there

8:09 pm

pam

sorry, gwen, don't have...

8:09 pm

praise2him

back for the last 13

8:09 pm

pam

hi, praise

8:09 pm

Mom

Hi Praise

8:09 pm

ardilla

hi praise

8:09 pm

hurshy

im5 - insert extra vowel in im4

8:10 pm

hurshy

co5 made a small sound like a dove or a baby

8:10 pm

moonwoof

Evening Gwen and Praise.

8:10 pm

Mom

thanks Hurshy for the co5

8:10 pm

gwenski

Thanks hurshy!

8:10 pm

ardilla

thanks hursh for im5

8:11 pm

moonwoof

I think, hursh, you could save a little waiting by calling, first.

8:11 pm

hurshy

so, well, i mean, it would really rock if i could get the job because other times when i have looked online i never see anything that interesting, and i would love to do something satisfying, you know?

8:11 pm

moonwoof

Then you wouldn't have time to get your hopes up. Although if they're open to it, it Does sound like it has potential.

8:11 pm

pam

that makes good sense, hursh. I am so glad you are applying.

8:11 pm

hurshy

i can't call, moon, it was a craigslist ad, there isn't any phone number listed, i just had to email my resume and cover letter.

8:12 pm

ardilla

clue for um5 pretty pls?

8:12 pm

hurshy

that is the hard thing, not knowing what kind of person will read your cover letter and how best to present your case

8:13 pm

hurshy

and it even pays more than i make now! icing on the cake. that's what makes me so sure i won't even get a response.

8:13 pm

moonwoof

Ah. Well, I'll hope for you, then. But it sounds like it could go either way, pretty easy. What if, for instance, you need to teach them about bathrooms...

8:13 pm

hurshy

it's too good of a thing to happen to me.

8:13 pm

hurshy

i know about bathrooms! i use them every day!

8:14 pm

moonwoof

I wouldnt say that Hursh. I'd dwell on the bathroom angle.

8:14 pm

moonwoof

Right. You do. Ever let your boyfriend come into the bathroom with you?

8:14 pm

moonwoof

Or how are you going to teach a guy where to aim?

8:15 pm

hurshy

i was married for 7 years, so i'm fairly comfortable with that sort of thing, actually, lol

8:15 pm

frantique

sorry i have no idea for the um5 word

8:15 pm

moonwoof

So you have an edge.

8:16 pm

hurshy

but you know, besides the fact that it's Too Good, there is the fact that when i got my current job, i'd sent out, oh maybe 100 resumes, and got... 3 responses total i think?

8:16 pm

moonwoof

um5= an eskimo kayak

8:16 pm

hurshy

so, my general sense about job hunting is, you get way more non-responses than responses.

8:16 pm

moonwoof

Hurshy... It's all how you market yourself. *I* should know.

8:17 pm

hurshy

well i poured my heart into that cover letter - so i hope whoever reads it likes heart.

8:17 pm

hurshy

no, no hoping. expect to hear nothing, that's the ticket.

8:17 pm

praise2him

clue for the ro 7 please?

8:18 pm

hurshy

up on the ro7 reindeer pause, out jumps good old santa claus

8:18 pm

pam

I certainly hope they do, too!!!!!

8:18 pm

ardilla

moonwoof, could you give me the 3rd letter pls?

8:18 pm

moonwoof

I rewrote my brothers resume to give him an idea about what I meant. His most recent experience I put "A personal therapist with an extensive yet limited pharmacutical repitoire." He's a bartender.

8:18 pm

Mom

thanks Hurshy

8:20 pm

Well, it's true. It's all in the wording. But I'll hope good for you, in the mean time, Hursh.

8:20 pm

hurshy

ma5 sprayed with ma4

8:20 pm

Ping

one ma5 is mrs. eisenhower

8:21 pm

hurshy

ma5 related to the mob?

8:21 pm

pam

used a pepper-type spray, ardilla

8:21 pm

moonwoof

ma5 = ma5 eisenhower or van doren

8:21 pm

ardilla

i think we all still get excited by the fireworks

8:21 pm

Ping

other ma5 is ma + (fact or ***tion)

8:21 pm

moonwoof

and yet another ma5 = adj to do with the mob

8:22 pm

hurshy

i had to talk to you guys about it because i can't talk to my family about it, because in the (most probable) event that i get no response, then they will be sad for me and that would just make me feel worse

8:22 pm

Mom

I wouldn't know, Ardilla, it has been so long since I had fireworks

8:22 pm

Mom

lol

8:22 pm

moonwoof

Heck even without fireworks I just get excited that I actually Finished something without getting distracted lol

8:22 pm

hurshy

*blush* i have never gotten excited by fireworks. i think i'm too practical.

8:23 pm

pam

that makes sense, hursh. Glad we can listen.

8:23 pm

frantique

um5 still escapes me

8:23 pm

moonwoof

Ok. Then I'll say it again, hursh. It'll never work. But IF it doesn't email me your resume and I'll rewrite it =)

8:23 pm

pam

um + amnes*** (one who has forgotten)

8:23 pm

moonwoof

um + 3rd vowel + air conditioning

8:23 pm

Mom

Frantique ... um + 3rd vowel + what you turn on in the summer to stay cool

8:23 pm

peep

um+ third vowel and what you turn on when the house is too hot

8:24 pm

java2

um+man***

8:24 pm

hurshy

what i need to focus on is that my life is ok at the moment, i can be content how things are, and someday i will do something different, even if it's not this.

8:24 pm

Mom

oh Peep, great clue lol :)

8:24 pm

peep

great minds and so on

8:24 pm

frantique

Yay thanks for the UM word

8:24 pm

Mom

lol

8:24 pm

hurshy

i think my resume is ok in terms of that sort of thing, bc i had a job placement agency person help me rework it during my last job search, this past spring.

8:25 pm

pam

and, you can add to that focus that YOU are ok, hursh.

8:25 pm

moonwoof

Actually, Hurshy, if that's the case, then congrats. I know a lot of people who can't even be kinda content. Their lives are sucking. So good job, there.

8:25 pm

hurshy

but thanks for the offer moon :) i'm not actively seeking another job exactly, i just saw this one and it appealed.

8:25 pm

moonwoof

I mostly meant if you needed a chuckle hurshy =P

8:26 pm

hurshy

oh of course, how thick of me!

8:26 pm

hurshy

well i have to work to be content, but when i try, i can manage it ok.

8:27 pm

moonwoof

And if you again, wanted to feel better about your life, when we got here 2 days ago I had no heat, no water, 6 dead scorpions 2 dead snakes and no furniture.

8:27 pm

ardilla

thanks for um5!

8:27 pm

Mom

oh my gosh, Moonwoof

8:28 pm

Mom

8:28 pm

Shh. Mom. I'm trying to cheer her up. I'm so used to this it took me a day to fix all that and another to make it pretty.

8:28 pm

frantique

YIKES .. dead snakes and dead scopions..HEY it could be worse .. the could be ALIVE eeeek

8:29 pm

ardilla

YAH, fireworks! Finally!!!

8:29 pm

There was a live rat snake in NC last year. It was huge. But I was confident after they removed it that there were no mice.

8:29 pm

8:30 pm

ardilla

any clues needed before i go?

Oh yeah. That's what the broom and the terrier are for. If they fail, I have a husband a cell phone and a credit card lol

JBsAnno

That's a good use for peas! (ewww, Krista!)

9:15 pm

JBsAnno

That was a preemptive reaction, Krista, now we are waiting for the revelation of the actual use...

9:15 pm

Krista

Now,you dont even know what it was, JB

9:16 pm

bubba218

I think that use might be too much information

9:16 pm

Krista

Oh, ok..since you sort of ASKED..1st husband's vasectomy!! (EWWWW is right)

9:16 pm

JBsAnno

Tell us, tell us!

9:16 pm

Goodbye NonnieLight! I'll see you tomorrow in the log

9:26 pm

mymuseisme

9:26 pm

10:02 pm

mymuseisme

hmmm, see that James Earl Jones and Phylicia Rashad will be doing Cat on a Hot Tin Roof in March

10:03 pm

Jacula

Min - I know what my e-mail, password and username are for flickr and my pics are still there - but, somehow, the link in Babble got deleted and it won't seem to accept anything I try! I guess I'll have to give in and e-mail Dr_God for help later.

10:21 pm

Minveryork

Hello EIDubUC! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle!

10:21 pm

JBsAnno

Well, it's win or go home, muse, so every play is critical now

10:21 pm

ElDubUC

thanks, must be out of it

10:22 pm

Jacula

Not the faintest idea what you lot are talking about re the sport. LOL

10:22 pm

mymuseisme

I know, but he's irritated

10:23 pm

mymuseisme

Jac I would if I was watching it but I'm not, just get the audio version

10:23 pm

JBsAnno

lol, muse, I hope he's editing it!

10:24 pm

JBsAnno

Jac, American football, it's the playoffs to get to the Superbowl.

10:24 pm

Jacula

Well, I have Sky so could watch it but won't as it doesn't interest me.

10:24 pm

Jacula

Thanks for telling me what you're talking about though.

10:26 pm

JBsAnno

It's getting exciting, though, Jac, because the home team is leading by one point, and the away team has to score on this possesion

10:27 pm

JBsAnno

It could go either way at this point!

10:27 pm

Minveryork

I know what they are talking about,but really do not know what they're talking about. Really do not know anything about football&don't care to know about it.

10:27 pm

Jacula

Well, good. I'll attend to my laundry for a while and come back to see if clues are needed soon. *grins*

10:27 pm

ElDubUC

hi, watching playoff also, live in Cincy, so not a

10:27 pm

ElDubUC

10:27 pm

ElDubUC

steeler fan

10:28 pm

Jacula

Don't take offence, btw. I'm just the same over British football matches.

10:28 pm

Minveryork

Was watching Dirty Dancing,but it's almost over now

10:28 pm

JBsAnno

Oh, no offense at all, Jac! I like soccer too, but this is a different dynamic

10:28 pm

Jacula

Dirty Dancing 2 was not so good, Min.

10:29 pm

Minveryork

I don't think I saw Dirty Dancing 2.I'm not really into sequels. Assume they won't be as good as first movie.

10:30 pm

Jacula

Can't do anything with laundry yet; washing machine is still going into orbit on final spin cycle...

10:30 pm

Jacula

Min - Don't bother, it wasn't.

10:30 pm

Minveryork

I need to do laundry too, but will wait until tomorrow

10:31 pm

JBsAnno

Minver, I could teach you football in 22 words:
a team has 4 tries to move the ball 10 yards. If they succeed, they get another 4 tries, until they score. That's what the whole game hangs on.

10:31 pm

Jacula

I have all the ironing from washing of Christmas period (just before) and after to do. That will take up about 6 hours of later. I will commandeer the TV and watch all the stuff I've recorded on SKY+ recently.

10:32 pm

Jacula

JBs - Do you have an offside rule in American football?

10:32 pm

ardilla

hi again, everyone

10:32 pm

moonwoof

I'll go ahead and add 3 more words to football.
Too Much Padding

10:32 pm

Minveryork

Hello ardilla! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

10:32 pm

JBsAnno

Jac, I would just dampen it all, and toss it in the dryer for a few minutes, then hang it a little damp. I haven't ironed for 2 years!

10:32 pm

ardilla

does anyone need any clues?

10:32 pm

mymuseisme

hi ardilla

10:32 pm

mymuseisme

yes

10:33 pm

moonwoof

Wb Ardilla And yes we have offsides

10:33 pm

Minveryork

I'm here to clue as well, but nobody seems to need'em

10:33 pm

ardilla

hi min; i was on earlier and finally finished about 90 mins ago

10:33 pm

moonwoof

That's because you did such a good job earlier Minver =)

10:34 pm

JBsAnno

Yes, Jac, but it applies to jumping over the line of scrimmage before the ball is snapped rather than the runner getting the ball past the defenders

10:34 pm

ardilla

what do you need, mymuse?

10:34 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations ardilla on finishing earlyGood for you

10:34 pm

Jacula

JBs - that doesn't do it for me, I'm afraid (the non-ironing thing).

10:34 pm

ardilla

tyvm, min

10:34 pm

Jacula

Wish it did! I hate ironing!

10:34 pm

mymuseisme

lol, ardilla I was saying yes to the offside rules

10:34 pm

JBsAnno

No dryer?

10:35 pm

Jacula

JBs - this is ours in UK (offside rule) - It is not an offence in itself to be in an offside position.

A player is in an offside position if:

* he is nearer to his opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second last opponent

A player is not in an offside position if:

* he is in his own half of the field of play
* he is level with the second last opponent
* he is level with the last two opponents

Commiting an Offside Offence
A player in an offside position is only penalised if, at the moment the ball touches or is played by one of his team, he is, in the opinion of the referee, involved in active play by:

* interfering with play
* interfering with an opponent
* gaining an advantage by being in that position

No Offence
There is no offside offence if a player receives the ball directly from:

* a goal kick
* a throw-in
* a corner kick

10:35 pm

moonwoof

After they added "butt pads" to the safety equipment list, I quit paying attention to football.

10:35 pm

Jacula

JBs - yes, I have a dryer.

10:35 pm

Minveryork

I hate ironing as well Jacula. That is why I don't do it!

10:35 pm

JBsAnno

I think I need to go to the list to finish quickly, I still have a few more things to do, and it's almost midnight!

10:35 pm

Jacula

Lol, Moonwoof!

10:36 pm

moonwoof

I agree with the damp hanging method of ironing.

10:36 pm

JBsAnno

moon, lol, I thought butt pads were for curvier jeans!

10:36 pm

Jacula

Min - I have to because I hate going out looking 'unpressed' and don't want my family to do that either.

10:36 pm

mymuseisme

lol moon, my hubby says no way

10:36 pm

donnana

what is the list? Does it give clues or answers?

10:36 pm

mymuseisme

are they called pampers for crying out loud....I'm quoting him

10:36 pm

mymuseisme

uh oh, Jaguars won

10:37 pm

Minveryork

Hey,I can give them some padding off my big old butt

10:37 pm

Jacula

Anyway, all that damp hanging stuff only works if you have the room to do it in.

10:37 pm

mymuseisme

donna, it gives first 2 letters and point value of word

10:37 pm

moonwoof

Seriously, I used to be Really into football. And I could tell you which player just tackled who, by seeing their butt. But no, now they have butt pads to "protect" their tailbones...

10:37 pm

Jacula

Dryer's beeped me. BBS.

10:37 pm

moonwoof

I say they're trying to impede my view.

10:37 pm

Minveryork

Hi donnana! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

10:38 pm

moonwoof

So I've boycotted football until they get rid of the diapers.

10:38 pm

ardilla

hi donna

10:38 pm

mymuseisme

10:39 pm

donnana

Hi. Just found this game a few days ago.

JBsAnno

Oh, man, my computer just crashed and burned, just like the Steelers! Probably someone was trying to intercept my firewall, ha!

10:43 pm

moonwoof

Sadly, no. I triple checked... There have always been chunky ones, but sadly there are pads now.

10:43 pm

Minveryork

LOL JBsAnno!Well at least you are still able to babble!

10:43 pm

mymuseisme

Hmm. The Steelers took a digger again? How surprising.

10:44 pm

mymuseisme

10:44 pm

moonwoof

LMAO

10:45 pm

JBsAnno

moon, if it actually did fall off, would you be able to recognize it? <sweet innocent grin>

10:45 pm

moonwoof

The only team with a worse track record is the Vikings so *I* should know. It pays to keep track of the "competition".

10:46 pm

moonwoof

No, now that you mention it. I havent had one in quite some time.

10:46 pm

JBsAnno

Thanks, muse, sigh. Oh well, maybe the Eagles will make it next year.

10:46 pm

JBsAnno

I'm happy to share, moon! (hmm, inadverdent pun, sorry!)

10:46 pm

moonwoof

I wanted one for Xmas, but Santa failed me again. That's why I watched Other people... To see if they had it.

10:47 pm

Minveryork

moonwoof, where in Minnesota do you live? I used to live there myself. I lived in Walker Minnesota.Do you know where that is?Haven't been back there in years

10:47 pm

JBsAnno

Yes, donna, Lickety's list, see the Friends of Babble under the grid

10:48 pm

mymuseisme

er uhm you wanted a butt for Xmas?

10:48 pm

moonwoof

Walker sounds familiar... but I'm not sure if I remember right where that is. I live all over the state, really. Bloomington Stillwater South Saint Paul and Duluth depending on the month.

10:48 pm

moonwoof

Yup. I wanted a butt. Preferably my butt, but I would have settled for JLo's...

10:48 pm

JBsAnno

*whispers* sounded like that to me, too, muse!

10:49 pm

JBsAnno

*nudges muse* Yup!

10:49 pm

moonwoof

It should have. It's what I meant!

10:50 pm

10:50 pm

moonwoof

I have a really high metabolism, and my body eats itself if I dont eat enuf. I lost my butt 3 years ago when I got a stomach flu for a week. Haven't found it, yet.

10:51 pm

Minveryork

10:51 pm

JBsAnno

lol, muse, I haven't seen that one!

10:51 pm

Minveryork

ca6/30 is first three letters of ca4/6 plus 3 blind ***e

10:52 pm

moonwoof

Nice. Anyone who makes that a ringtone, tho, is asking for a date to go terribly wrong.

10:52 pm

donnana

not a lot of info on licketys list

10:52 pm

Rlee

thank you mymuse

10:53 pm

moonwoof

More than none, tho, donnana. It puts them in alpabetically, and that's a pretty big clue alone.

10:53 pm

brendiboo

i need some help with the ca 5,16

10:53 pm

Minveryork

Lickety's List is useful.I would never finish without it

10:57 pm

Minveryork

Does anybody have an HP Pavilion dv6324?I have one and I have to send it back to HP for two weeks for a recall. Wireless does not work on computer anymore.

10:58 pm

Jacula

Is that a PC or a printer, Min? Either, the answer is, 'No.'

10:58 pm

Minveryork

co 4/8 is co + not **s ands or buts and the past tense

10:58 pm

JillF

any help for my last two? I am stumped on the im5 and the um5. anyone care to put me out of my misery?

10:58 pm

10:58 pm

brendiboo

i need the second co4,8

10:58 pm

JBsAnno

ahhh, the soothing sight of fireworks at last!

10:58 pm

Jacula

co4/8 & past tense 6/33 have to do with hairdo's.

10:58 pm

moonwoof

um5 = um + personal pronoun + air conditioning

10:59 pm

JBsAnno

Thanks for all the clues tonight - it's been a lot of fun!

10:59 pm

moonwoof

the 2nd co4.8 is a hairdo

10:59 pm

Minveryork

um 5/16 is um plus someone who does not remember anything is an amnes*** JillF.

10:59 pm

moonwoof

Congrats JB

10:59 pm

Jacula

co4.8 (2nd) = co + Rudyard Kipling poem (famous one).

10:59 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations JBsAnno on fireworks! Good for you!

11:00 pm

Jacula

Well done, JBs.

11:00 pm

moonwoof

Jac, isnt that the 3rd co4.8?

11:00 pm

Minveryork

co 4/8 is co + no **s ands or buts and the past tense.

11:00 pm

Jacula

moon - No, it's the 2nd.

11:01 pm

moonwoof

he did a poem about hairdo's??

11:01 pm

JBsAnno

And off to bed! Good night, all, thanks again, and see you all on the chog (Krista's word) soon! *poof*

11:01 pm

Jacula

The 3rd co4/8 is c + the sound someone makes when being thumped!

11:01 pm

moonwoof

Night JB

11:01 pm

Jacula

No, Moon! LOL. He questioned things in his poem.

11:02 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye JBsAnno!I will see you tomorrow in the chog

11:02 pm

JillF

thanks min, for those...still cannot figure the im! tough word

11:02 pm

moonwoof

I have past tense of buy, hairdo, and what I would associate with kipling...

11:03 pm

moonwoof

Huh. Ok.

11:03 pm

Jacula

Incidentally, the third co4/8 rhymes with the po4/8 JBs just typed as she left.

11:03 pm

moonwoof

Im5= im + 2 vowels + the double hump letter Jill

11:03 pm

JillF

11:04 pm

moonwoof

Right. That's My third. But I swear he never did a poem about hairdos.

11:04 pm

brendiboo

11:04 pm

JillF

great moon, thanks so much

11:04 pm

brendiboo

i need the da4,8

11:04 pm

moonwoof

np

11:05 pm

Jacula

da4/8 is a very silly word! (That's a clue, btw.)

11:05 pm

JillF

brendi, it means dumb

11:05 pm

moonwoof

It means silly =P

11:05 pm

moonwoof

It's also part of a punk bands name.

11:06 pm

JillF

i feel this way playing this game sometimes...sounds like something you would float on but with a d instead of an r

11:07 pm

Jacula

Here in UK dumb used to mean someone who could not speak, not someone who was silly or da4.8. However, with the US influence over the years it also has that meaning here as well as the former one.

11:07 pm

Jacula

da4/8 (silly) adds a bit to the other end of a boat (not the fore)

11:07 pm

moonwoof

Really? I've never heard that words used to mean dumb... only silly. Dern word screweruppers.

11:08 pm

Minveryork

da 4/8 rhymes with what Huck Finn used to travel on

11:09 pm

brendiboo

i must be real whatever that da word is as i still cant get it

11:09 pm

moonwoof

or d + the back end of a ship.

11:09 pm

moonwoof

Fore + a** of a ship

11:10 pm

brendiboo

oh boy i finally got it ha ha

11:10 pm

Jacula

da + the pink paper in UK that is a 'financial index. (Short term for the paper.)

11:10 pm

moonwoof

That is a fine example, brendi of why the point values are clues.

11:11 pm

mymuseisme

Ok I sent Lickety the ringtone file, hopefully he has no problem in getting it.

11:11 pm

moonwoof

Did lickety want it? I though JB wanted it...

11:12 pm

moonwoof

Or is he where we would send video links for Expert?

11:12 pm

brendiboo

i am stuck on the de 5,20

11:12 pm

mymuseisme

He's the one to send the links to for Babble Expert. It's not youtube, and I can't get the site, so I just forwarded it to him.

de5/20 is the type of coffee that won't keep you awake.

11:13 pm

11:27 pm

Jacula

It's okay, I have a houseful of 20-somethings myself and do know really, but, I mean, all this text speak is hardly The Queen's English!

11:28 pm

Jacula

Hi jilli (proper English speaker). BBS, got to see to laundry.xx

11:28 pm

Hello jillibus! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

11:30 pm

Jacula

Don't you start with that, jilli!

11:30 pm

Rlee

sorry about the english will keep quiet in future.

11:30 pm

jillibus

I'm fascinated by the ABC NH debate

11:30 pm

Jacula

If u do that I'll cul*r, jilli!

11:31 pm

Jacula

cul8tr, LOL.

11:31 pm

moonwoof

Rlee, dont even worry about it. We ALL typo... just wait and see how many people type "firewords"

11:31 pm

Jacula

moon - firewords is a deliberate mistake.

11:32 pm

moonwoof

But hardly Queen-like LOL

11:32 pm

jillibus

hehe

11:32 pm

moonwoof

Unless that's a new word this year?

11:32 pm

Minveryork

Thought people did that on purpose! The D isn't next to the K on the keyboard. I think "firewords" should be accepted in Babble now since so many use it here.

11:33 pm

Jacula

Hey you 'oldies' do you think the 'newbies' have got our gist now? *grins*

11:34 pm

moonwoof

People do do it on purpose. If I had been typing properly, that sentence would have had one period and the next sentence would have "on purpose" on the end of it. =P

11:34 pm

Jacula

Oh, and jilli, where was my Christmas card?? I hope I'm getting a snailmail letter from you!

11:34 pm

Minveryork

I still consider myself to be a newbie since I'm not an expert at this yet. Plus I came here only 2 years ago.

11:35 pm

moonwoof

omg... slinks back into the been here for a month background...

11:35 pm

Good evening all!

hi Woulf!

11:35 pm

Minveryork

H\ello GreyWoulf! How are you? Welcome to the grid!

11:35 pm

Jacula

moon - pleae don't call a full stop a period when I'm here. A period here in UK is either a unit of time or a woman's monthly 'visitor'.

11:36 pm

Minveryork

Hello GreyWoulf! How are you? Welcome to the grid!

11:36 pm

Jacula

Hi Wolfie!

11:36 pm

jillibus

The D and the K, if you've taken a typing course, are used by the same finger on the right or left hand, so are easy to interchange mistakenly, and that's what happened the first time, I understand. Then firewords seemed wonderfully appropriate so it stuck

11:36 pm

GreyWoulf

*drags moonwoof back into the light*

Don't let anyone make you doubt yourself, moon -- we love everyone who chooses to babble no matter how recent they are to join the family

11:37 pm

moonwoof

Then what do you call the little dot at the end of the sentence?

11:37 pm

jillibus

Hi woulfie

11:37 pm

moonwoof

Oh, please notice I slunk back just until you got here for backup =)

11:37 pm

Jacula

Moon - it's called a full stop.

11:37 pm

GreyWoulf

11:38 pm

Jacula

You do know I'm a vampire just playing with you don't you, moon? *grins*

11:38 pm

jillibus

11:38 pm

cybernan

Good Evening, everyone :)

11:38 pm

Minveryork

I didn't take a typing course. I have my own style of typing.I call my own style of typing typing with typos

11:38 pm

moonwoof

The little dot is called a "full stop"? hmmm. Otherwise we say Aunt Flo is in town, down from Red River Valley... But that was really long, so we say period now... lol

11:38 pm
