2:08 am

GroovyKiwi

ohhh ive covered off 3 tiles now lolol

2:08 am

Brookie

groovy, if you ever want to chat (cause I'm going through crazy custody issues right now and am in the process of a divorce), I'll email you my email address right now.

2:09 am

GroovyKiwi

the crazy custody issues arent at stake here but the biggie is that he is off overseas for three months at the end of the month and says that he will still pay the mortgage but doesnt intend to give me an allowance towards the boys

2:09 am

GroovyKiwi

little does he know that he will be receiving a letter from my lawyer very shortly lol

2:09 am

GroovyKiwi

id love it brookie

2:10 am

sprite

I am very proud of you that you took measures, Kiwi. You are handling this as a true lion tameress!

2:10 am

GroovyKiwi

ty sprite - little steps lol

2:11 am

pinkhatlil

what has your lawyer advised GK?

2:11 am

sprite

with all the little steps you already took, you are way ahead of the anal retentive poor excuse for an exhusband-to-be, Kiwi!

2:11 am

moonwoof

A-HA Sprite. I TOLD you coitus wasnt a phantum.

2:11 am

moonwoof

co7/8 = coitus LOL

2:12 am

sprite

lol woof! Ok, I still re4 my case, but this makes up for it.

2:12 am

GroovyKiwi

to let him go have his time away and then go for the jugular when he gets back lol

2:13 am

GroovyKiwi

actually seriously i have a big issue - over here communal chattels are split 50/50 no matter what

2:13 am

Brookie

groovy, is your email address @net instead of .net?

2:13 am

GroovyKiwi

and considering that 90% of what is in this house i have purchased over the last 17 years im mighty pi$$ed that im going to have to loose it

2:13 am

lynxxx

and kids/custody don't come into the split Kiwi?

2:14 am

GroovyKiwi

@paradise.net.nz

2:14 am

Brookie

thanks so much

2:14 am

moonwoof

Actually, Kiwi. That's not wholly true. Depends how shifty you want to be about it.

2:14 am

GroovyKiwi

they do but i dont think he will contest me having custody because he couldnt look after them with his shift work

2:14 am

GroovyKiwi

it is over here moonie

2:14 am

moonwoof

But it seems to me that 3 months this spring you could have a "garage sale" and take cash for the stuff and ferret it away, if you felt justified.

2:14 am

GroovyKiwi

the biggest bugbear is the house - neither of us can afford to live here on our own but neither of us can afford to buy either of us out

2:15 am

pinkhatlil

LOL sounds like a good plan GK...surely if you bought most of the possessions, your entitled to them, or at least dispute them?

2:15 am

GroovyKiwi

spring? lol its coming into autumn here soon

2:15 am

moonwoof

Well, while that May be true, kiwi. That doesnt mean there isnt a way Around it.

2:15 am

GroovyKiwi

no pink its communal chattels

2:15 am

GroovyKiwi

my lawyer has already told me

2:16 am

GroovyKiwi

i have a relatively new bedroom suite which im still paying off and he could take half of it if he wanted it and id still have to finish paying it off

2:16 am

moonwoof

And I forgot. Spring here, fall there, but still seems possible. You have a version of craigs list, or something like it?

2:16 am

Jellen

Will he want to take 50%? My ex didn't want stuff.

2:16 am

Brookie

groovy, what about furniture, etc. that you had before the marriage?

2:16 am

GroovyKiwi

omg ive made halfway lol

2:17 am

pinkhatlil

brb

2:17 am

moonwoof

Congrats Kiwi!

2:17 am

Jellen

Wahoo, Kiwi!

2:17 am

sprite

Kiwi, doesn't he have to pay half of the payments for the bedroom suite then?

2:17 am

GroovyKiwi

if the marriage was under three years then i could contest it but since its 17 years its all classed as communal

2:17 am

sprite

and well done, Kiwi... see that nothing holds you down?

2:17 am

GroovyKiwi

mind you i could turn around and say i want his car lol

2:19 am

lynxxx

and maybe a friendly bank manager can assist in refinancing the house. You never know and you have 3 months to sniff around

2:19 am

GroovyKiwi

lynxx there is no way i could afford the mortgage on my own $770 a fortnite is half my salary

2:20 am

dart001

firewords

2:20 am

GroovyKiwi

and to buy him out id need at least another $160k and the mortgage is already $160K

2:20 am

Jellen

Congrats, dart!!!

2:20 am

Brookie

yeah dart!

2:20 am

GroovyKiwi

wtg dart ^5

2:20 am

moonwoof

Have you checked on govt assistance or grants? There are many here in the states for single mothers who need help.

2:20 am

westford

very nice dart

2:20 am

moonwoof

DERN IT

2:20 am

lynxxx

Yes, but you would need to get a new mortgage in your name a(house in your name) the new mortgage repayments could be lower than you think

2:20 am

westford

did ossie tell you about her awful saturday?

2:21 am

GroovyKiwi

because i work full time id get $8 week accomodation allowance

2:21 am

VolleymomDee

Congrats Dart !!

2:21 am

GroovyKiwi

im entitled to about $200 a week child support BUT thats without him paying the mortgage

2:21 am

GroovyKiwi

i dont have a great enough credit history to be able to get a mortgage on my own

2:21 am

sprite

I hope you are getting good help and advice, Kiwi. This is too much to tackle alone!

2:22 am

GroovyKiwi

and considering we've been here 11 years i could quite happily move away from the memories

2:22 am

moonwoof

It does sound like a lot.

2:22 am

dart001

i did get ossies email sounded horrible :(

2:22 am

westford

hope she's okay

2:23 am

dart001

sounded like she was doing better at the end

2:23 am

lynxxx

Try checking out mortgages Kiwi. You may be pleasantly surprised...and it costs nothing to ask

2:23 am

herinfernallady

What happened to ossie?

2:23 am

GroovyKiwi

well the hardest thing is that he leaves in three weeks so i cant do anything else until he gets back and considering and i quote "he cant decide if he loves me enough to want to stay married to me anymore but doesnt want to do anything about it till he comes back" crap i just have to stay in limbo until HE wants to sort it

2:23 am

westford

came on so suddenly might happen again

2:24 am

herinfernallady

Groovy and remember if hes an arse put purreed fish down his windows in his car

2:24 am

dart001

hope it doesnt come back

2:24 am

Brookie

groovy, at the same time do you want to be with someone who has feelings like that?

2:24 am

Brookie

ditto on the pureed fish

2:25 am

westford

me too

2:25 am

herinfernallady

that or brake fluiid on the duco

2:25 am

sprite

Kiwi, seems to me that where he still has doubts, you can be pretty sure you don't love HIM enough anymore, so the marriage is over anyway? Perhaps you can get your lawyer moving now, and not wait for analhubby to get to business.

2:25 am

westford

what's a duco?

2:25 am

GroovyKiwi

the problem i have is emotional - i love him to bits and would have him back in an instant on my terms but i know deep down that the boys and i will be better off without him. Its just a struggle realising it

2:25 am

lynxxx

Kiwi, 3 months is a great time to get stuff into order for 'just in case'...keep one step (or several) ahead of him

2:25 am

herinfernallady

Car paint

2:25 am

Brookie

sounds like you're going through very natural emotions, kiwi

2:26 am

westford

brake fluid is not good for paint?

2:26 am

herinfernallady

ANd Groovy that is whats hard sweetie. Love

2:26 am

herinfernallady

West no its not

2:26 am

sprite

Kiwi, without pretending to know you really, but isn't the man you love the one you lost years and years ago? The one he was before he turned cold on you?

2:26 am

dart001

ossie had very bad abdominal pains...she said 10 on a scale of 1 to 10...went to the hosp. in an ambulance...had some morphine for the pain...not sure if they figured out what happenen...she felt better after the drugs...went home

2:26 am

westford

I'm learning a lot of things lol

2:26 am

GroovyKiwi

actually a number of ppl have said that going through a marriage breakup is like grieving for the loss of a loved one (death) its just as traumatic and you go through the exact same emotions of love and stress and greif and anger

2:27 am

westford

dart do you remember jemima?

2:27 am

moonwoof

brake fluid and very cheap bologna will peel the paint off a car, westford. My principal got polka dots =)

2:27 am

herinfernallady

Well Groovy we have ears here.

2:27 am

sprite

that is true, Kiwi. It really is.

2:27 am

pinkhatlil

Gk what if he comes back and decides he wants to give the marriage another go? He may come back with a clear mind and refreshed. The 3 month break maybe what you both need *just a thought*

2:27 am

lynxxx

That sounds awful Dart! she went home!!

2:27 am

GroovyKiwi

yeah i know sprite

2:27 am

herinfernallady

West im a Scorpio im vindictive bitch and know the things that is mean

2:27 am

dart001

think i remember a jemima

2:27 am

westford

imagine what cheap bologna does to your insides

2:27 am

GroovyKiwi

im keeping an open mind on that one pink but im not hopeful

2:27 am

herinfernallady

Dart hope shes ok

2:28 am

westford

I am married to a scorpio and gave birth to one

2:28 am

GroovyKiwi

but if he does want that then it willd efinately be on my terms

2:28 am

Frances

Groovy, you say that you love him to bits - is it possible that he will go away and realise what he is missing and that he really does love you too?

2:28 am

westford

better watch my back

2:28 am

sprite

sounds bad, dart and westford :(

2:28 am

pinkhatlil

it may put things into perspective, and give you the chance to decide what is best for you and your sons

2:28 am

moonwoof

Actually, since i dont have paint sealer in my tummy I should be fine, but the oil in the meat seeps into the pores and causes the paint to rise off.

2:28 am

herinfernallady

I am a a nice person just don't mess with my friends

2:28 am

sprite

lol westford... as long as you don't humiliate or betray them, you should be fine.

2:29 am

dart001

used to chat with her most nights on tangle...she did come in here on 4,5 in a while but not lately

2:29 am

moonwoof

Seems so, west. =) We Can be evil.

2:29 am

GroovyKiwi

no i dont think so frances - he has told me that under no circumstances am i to email him anything personal - thoughts feelings etc. he only expects to hear from me regarding the boys

2:29 am

westford

I agree herin friends are golden

2:29 am

westford

jem said the same thing happened to her when she was a teenager and turned out to be her appendix

2:30 am

westford

she had none of the usual symptons

2:30 am

pinkhatlil

boy, that is harsh GK but if its time you both need then i can understand, but on the other hand its unfair of him to keep you in limbo

2:30 am

moonwoof

I had something like that several years ago, they said it was likely kidney stones, but
never

2:30 am

moonwoof

quite figured it out.

2:30 am

Frances

Groovy perhaps that is because he is struggling with his emotions and needs the time away to sort them out.n Just a thought.

2:31 am

dart001

wonder if she still has hers?... i still have mine but i guess that not usual these days

2:31 am

moonwoof

I hope they figure it out for her. It sucks when that stuff is a surprise.

2:31 am

GroovyKiwi

frances he has two emotions - grumpy and nothing

2:31 am

westford

they must have asked at the hospital

2:31 am

sprite

Kiwi, just don't let him dictate what you can or can't do. If you need to vent to him, vent. If you don't want to, don't. But don't let him decide for you.

2:31 am

moonwoof

It's not ususal Dart. I still have All my useless parts, but it really isnt common.

2:31 am

GroovyKiwi

and if he has any others i havent seen them in a long time

dart001

lol

2:35 am

sunny09

that was two years ago, and he now has regular colonoscopies and is on immunosuppressants for life. Has ongoing pain but this was something he had put down to irritable bowel for 10 yrs. We ALL need to get regular checks. Doctors orders. lol

2:35 am

herinfernallady

I have most of my body except 2 teeth and a brain

2:35 am

sprite

yup Frances... means you are holding your stunning intelligence inside!

2:36 am

Jellen

Lol, herin

2:36 am

westford

at times I miss my brain

2:36 am

pinkhatlil

LOL

2:36 am

herinfernallady

I think my brain is mostly in bed half the day

2:36 am

moonwoof

Wait a sec. *I* have mine too, but *I* am not darty. I sense a discrimination moment.

2:36 am

sprite

lol westford and lady

2:36 am

Frances

Oh I love you sprite. You do come up with some gems.

2:37 am

westford

2:37 am

sprite

2:37 am

sprite

woof, with you, they are not enough to compensate ;)

2:38 am

dart001

but wait moon...you can probably read your own handwriting (cause youre not a lefty like someone here) and you can type really fast

2:38 am

moonwoof

I guess not. They'd have to be Uberwisdom teeth to make up for My brain {{sigh}}

2:38 am

moonwoof

I had to work really hard at that actually. I took drafting classes to help it lol

2:38 am

lynxxx

Sunny, one of my dearest, fittest friends is in a similar boat - its amazing what we can do esp under the guidance of great caring doctors

2:39 am

moonwoof

But I can draw a mostly straight line without a ruler. I just dont classify that as wise =P

2:39 am

sprite

so true, lynxxx!

2:40 am

Frances

dart my father was truly ambidextrous. He could hold a pen in each hand and write to the right with his right hand and backwards to the left with his left hand. They were a mirror image of each other.

2:40 am

sprite

woot Frances

2:41 am

jillibus

wow, frances!

2:41 am

westford

Frances did he start out left handed?

2:41 am

moonwoof

I bet that would have been Very cool to watch. Just once, tho, so I didnt get too depressed. =)

2:42 am

westford

used to be they punished children for using their left hands so they had to learn to be right handed

2:42 am

sunny09

true lynxxx. sorry rhe replies are so spaced, feeding the horde icecream. West, all they can give him is panadol or maybe a panalgesic. He needs to be aware of the severity and rate it because it could be a relapse . He is used to it now and only really notices the big sharpies.

2:42 am

sprite

I can do most things with both hands. Like screwing in a plug, spinning wool, needlework etc.

2:42 am

Frances

As far as I know he always used both hands for everything. Great party piece. It never failed to amaze me every time he did it.

2:42 am

westford

but still kept their sinister ways

2:42 am

dart001

i am too....i can sharpen a pencil and turn on a drinking fountain and hold a beer with my right hand and my left does everything else :)

bfsog

That seems a odd coincidence, west. Has that happened before?

3:10 am

westford

no

3:11 am

westford

I just got busy doing other things and never did get back

3:11 am

westford

I'm using netscape and just heard it's going away

3:11 am

moonwoof

weird . Netscape is going away?

3:12 am

westford

it belongs to AOL and they are just going to let it lapse

3:12 am

westford

so said my husband

3:12 am

westford

netscape was recommended for this game

3:12 am

moonwoof

Interesting. And it was. i saw that myself.

3:13 am

westford

might try firefox or foxfire or whatever it's called.

3:14 am

sprite

firefox. Also recommended for this game.

3:14 am

herinfernallady

I use IE 7 i get less errors especially with mamoth grids

3:14 am

westford

i really like IE but can't get more that 3 or 4

3:14 am

moonwoof

I used firefox before expert and it worked ok for me, personally.

3:14 am

westford

Macs won't allow it

3:15 am

sprite

thought you were using a Mac, indeed

3:15 am

moonwoof

Actually if you're on a mac, you should ask Fran. I think she said she uses something else.

3:15 am

westford

I am but not with IE

3:15 am

bfsog

netscape has the same engine as firefox, so i guess your using an old account, there are a lot of browsers out there though, SeaMonkey, Flock, Opera

3:15 am

herinfernallady

Cant use IE 7 with macs? Also licketys babble expert is not mac comppatable

3:16 am

moonwoof

It wasnt Opera, thogh...

3:16 am

westford

I can use licketys but I have to open another window

3:16 am

sprite

jillibus

My mac friends tell me you can now run Windows on a mac -- if that is so can we run BabbleExpert via Windows?

3:21 am

moonwoof

Yeah! I remembered a letter in One Name!!

3:21 am

moonwoof

{{{sarcastic applause for me}}}

3:22 am

FranMag

i was having some strange errors with firefox when switching between windows, so i use Safari for babble

3:22 am

moonwoof

Possibly, Jilli, I have a friend who's looking into that, herself.

3:22 am

sprite

*applauds woof too, but without the sarcasm*

3:22 am

westford

I've heard that have to download something like Bootleg

3:22 am

FranMag

yes, you can, but you have to purchase a copy of Windows to install on the mac. and only if you have the most current system

3:22 am

westford

my husband and son would know

3:23 am

moonwoof

I'll get excited, sprite, when I remember one whole name without a mental jog from BF or someone else =P

4:41 am

herinfernallady

,9,4,4,6,7,6,4,4,4,4,6,4,5,5

4:43 am

Haz1558

I just hope Movieman doesn't appear right now. He got his nose bitten off yesterday, I would fear for his head today.

4:44 am

moonwoof

Perhaps if you could help me then I could give you the clue you're looking for.

4:44 am

moonwoof

Seems possible, haz. Although if he were to ask for all the tops, like normal, that would take a while, anyway.

4:44 am

pinkhatlil

herin is having a cigarette moon

4:44 am

moonwoof

I know. But now it's here for when she gets back.

4:45 am

pinkhatlil

oh, ok :)

4:45 am

herinfernallady

thanks

4:45 am

FMitch

Bit like car crash TV today can't believe 15min spent trying to clue a couple of words!

4:45 am

moonwoof

See? Herin, for you, messages earlier.

4:46 am

herinfernallady

it appears i have them thank you and sorry about that

4:46 am

bfsog

i looked at this as soon as i got up and thought there was 200 ish words, but i got to work and i just looked at the word stats, lol

4:46 am

moonwoof

There are lots of words to pick from tonight, Mitch, and I dont clue often, on purpose.

4:46 am

moonwoof

S'okay herin. I just felt bad it was confusing.

4:48 am

herinfernallady

That is because he was rude Haz. I and others find it down right rude that he can't say Hi. Also if you were asked and here ever night when he entered and asked for all the 7 8 9 10s wtf youd be pissed off to. For a fact i was going to email him and apoligise. I was going to suggest that he goes back through the log before asking and being a bit more specific. I just got confused then as there was many clues for the same thing

4:48 am

Haz1558

Tolerance is a two way street.

4:49 am

herinfernallady

With the larger grids that is sometimes over 15 words. Tonight that amount is 78s asked for so yes that spoils the fun ALOT.

4:49 am

FMitch

I will stand up for movieman, he has asked the same question every time he babbles since he joined and we accept it as part of him. Your comments were uncalled for and rude.

4:50 am

Haz1558

We all have our own ways of tackling the grid. What if we were to object to you not using the last and asking for how many i words etc?

4:50 am

herinfernallady

I would swear but i wont as that is juvenile so lets just say that due to the fact that the british itch 2 are on im going

4:50 am

Haz1558

*list

4:50 am

FMitch

Yipeee

4:51 am

herinfernallady

Haz there was many clues and your taking it out of context Also Mis Pot Kettle who gets so pisses about an icon grow up

4:52 am

Haz1558

My objection was the way you attacked Movieman out of the blue for something he has always done. It is possible to make a point without being aggressive.

4:53 am

herinfernallady

It turns out that there was 2 in 8 / 9s so that was the confusion many clues. Haz and Fmitch you have both spoiled being in the chat for me and i loath when all you both. Haz as i said i was going to email him an apology and i did publicly apoligise to him last night.

4:53 am

momhkids

Good morning all

4:53 am

herinfernallady

4:56 am

elder

hello FMitch ... ok... :)

4:56 am

sprite

perhaps being rude and calling names is not the best way to solve anything?
People can ask for clues, and other people can refuse to give them if the asking irritates them for some reason.

4:56 am

sprite

hey Jac :)

Hi Jellen

5:30 am

Jellen

Hi, herin

5:30 am

momhkids

that would be great

5:30 am

Jacula

Hello Jellen.

5:30 am

Jellen

Hi, Jac!

5:32 am

Scrabbler

Good morning Babble buddies! I dropped a glass bowl of leftover salad (when I reached for something in the refrigerator) and just cleaned up the big mess in the kitchen.

5:32 am

Jellen

I'm so tired I'm not sleepy.

5:33 am

redturtlehead

Hi Scrabs...up early!!

5:33 am

herinfernallady

HI Scrabbler. Did the bowl break? if not rabbit food

5:33 am

FMitch

Hello Scrabbler and Jellen :)

5:33 am

lynxxx

Hi Scrabs - at least it wasn't a mirror

5:33 am

Jellen

Hi, Scrabbler

5:33 am

sunny09

hi Jac and Scrabbler.

5:33 am

Scrabbler

You are a zombie now, Jellen.

5:33 am

Jellen

That just about describes me all right.

5:34 am

herinfernallady

Jellen - braiiiins

5:34 am

redturtlehead

Hang in ther Jellen...

5:34 am

Scrabbler

It wasn't salad for the bunnies--was leftover from weekend dinner.

5:34 am

Scrabbler

Did you stay up all night, Jellen?

5:34 am

Jellen

Yes, I'm still awake.

5:34 am

herinfernallady

But did the bowl break and could your dropage be salvaged for the bunnies?

5:35 am

Scrabbler

Are you hoping to enter a psychotic state from sleep deprivatio
n, Jellen?

5:35 am

Jellen

That's my goal, Scrabbler!

5:35 am

Jacula

I could've done with that salad, Scrabbs. I've got to make on later.

5:36 am

herinfernallady

The longest i haven't slept for is 48 hours

5:36 am

Jacula

Hello sunny.

5:36 am

Jacula

*make one

5:36 am

Scrabbler

Lady, yes, it broke in numerous pieces. There were tomatoes and greens, but just a small amt. I keep the bunnies' greens in the original plastic bags, then make their salads in pie tins.

5:37 am

herinfernallady

drat Scrabbler that is so annoying. Maybe plastic for you too is the way to go

5:37 am

Jellen

I'll sleep pretty soon. Then the challenge will be to get myself out of the house to vote.

5:37 am

Scrabbler

Hi Sunny

5:37 am

Jacula

Think I'll make a fruit salad, too, to make up for us having chocolate sponge pudding and cream last night. *guilty smile*

5:37 am

Scrabbler

I am a registered Independent and have never changed it. So I cannot vote in primaries.

5:38 am

redturtlehead

I love fruit salad...

5:38 am

herinfernallady

Scrabbler does that mean you can only vote on the big day?

5:39 am

redturtlehead

Darn it this grid is sooo big.

5:39 am

Jellen

Chocolate sponge pudding sounds intriguing.

5:40 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Lady. I chose to be Independent because I didn't want any party to hassle me and because I don't know what Republican and Democrat really respresent anyway....and it looks like the canididates don't either.

5:40 am

Scrabbler

Jacula, is that like chocolate mousse, which I love!!

5:40 am

movieman

anyone care to chuck me a clue for the 10 before I toddle off to the moviehouse?

5:40 am

herinfernallady

OK Interesting i never understood the thing

5:40 am

Jellen

I can't tell you how many phone calls I've received this week from both parties.

5:40 am

herinfernallady

Movie man are you on face book?

5:40 am

NonoNanette

good morning Babblers

5:41 am

Scrabbler

What movie are you seeing, MM?

5:41 am

pinkhatlil

bye bye babblers be back later on, shopping is calling

5:41 am

FMitch

Hey movie, whats on at the cinema today?

5:41 am

movieman

I'm afraid not, herin

5:41 am

movieman

Cloverfield

5:41 am

redturtlehead

Movie, unfortunately I do not have the ten...

5:41 am

Jellen

Hi, Nono

5:41 am

Jacula

Scrabbs, no. It's a chocolate sponge made in a bowl with either chocolate on top or chocolate in the middle that oozes out when you break it open.

5:41 am

Scrabbler

I don't understand politics either---seems like theatre and gamesmanship more than anything else.

5:41 am

NonoNanette

looks like a meaty grid today so I am going to dive right in.....splash!

5:42 am

Scrabbler

Go Nanette go!

5:42 am

FMitch

That has had good reviews and looks v interesting, will await your critique mm.

5:42 am

Jellen

de9 = de + eat well for proper nu*******

5:42 am

sunny09

de 10 plural of the 9 means to wear away by friction

5:43 am

movieman

Hope I don't get a bad migraine afterwards.....or worse!!!!!

5:43 am

lynxxx

Scrabbler

5:43 am

Scrabbler

I forget what the movie is about?

5:43 am

herinfernallady

Drat. Movieman i wish to apoligise to you for last nights rudeness towards you. Can i make a big suggestion to you when you do have time to do the grid have a look through the view entire chat for the words if its a massive one like this one. You may find heaps of hints

5:44 am

NonoNanette

s

5:44 am

Scrabbler

Hi MRP!

5:44 am

lynxxx

looked so good FM I didn't think I would correct it lol

5:44 am

NonoNanette

hi MrP

5:44 am

Jacula

Scrabbs - gozilla-like monster trashes NYC, I think. (The film.)

5:44 am

Jellen

Hi,, ch1212

5:44 am

movieman

It's Godzilla meets YouTube......

5:44 am

sunny09

hey ch1212 and nononanette also.

5:45 am

Scrabbler

Oh, I don't like those sci fi/superhero movies--just not plausible.

5:45 am

movieman

Apology accepted, herin

5:45 am

Jacula

I saw a ridiculous story in the newspaper yesterday about people walking out of the cinema and complaining etc., when they went to see 'Sweeney Todd' because they hadn't realised that it's a musical. What planet are they on??

5:45 am

ch1212

Movieman...did you like Sweeney Todd?

5:45 am

herinfernallady

Movie take lots of popcorn and go in a group movie sounds fun

5:45 am

FMitch

Didn't the film co launch it's clips on YouTube?

5:46 am

herinfernallady

Jac someone slept through the previews?

5:46 am

Scrabbler

I wait til movies are on DVD. I don't like being in a theatre anymore--too overstimulating for me and too many rude creatures.

5:46 am

sunny09

but Jac, it is advertised as a musical isn't it?? don't people read reviews?

5:47 am

Jacula

Exactly, sunny!

5:47 am

Jacula

Hi, MrP.

5:47 am

redturtlehead

I always go to matinees Scrabs, much easier then, during the wweek, but thats hard to do with your schedule...

5:47 am

mrpresident

I needed you guys tonight

5:47 am

herinfernallady

A reviewer said that Dark Night was a miss title as it had nothing to do with Batman. I think i slapped my self in the head for that

5:47 am

Jellen

5:47 am

redturtlehead

5:47 am

herinfernallady

5:48 am

Scrabbler

Team MRP = ready for action!

Scrabbler

Yikes!! ((MRP)) It will take a few days to recover from this!!

5:49 am

redturtlehead

Oh How awful. Lots of hugs, *goes to brew up some nice tea*

5:50 am

NonoNanette

((((((MrP))))) I know how frightening that can be

5:50 am

sunny09

{{{{{{{{ }}}}}}}}} double scotch for mrp

5:50 am

lynxxx

OMG indeed MRP - what a scarey thing to happen

5:50 am

mrpresident

I am still in shock... it is surreal now, but thank god I wasn't any further into the intersection... I was only doing 5km but the car hit me doing 70km...., on my driver side

5:50 am

Jacula

But you're all okay and unhurt physically?

5:51 am

sunny09

were you alone or with the family?

5:51 am

redturtlehead

Oh Mr. P. How is the arm?

5:51 am

Scrabbler

70 kmh---fast!!

5:51 am

mrpresident

it destroyed the whole front of my car.... had just dropped off the kids

5:51 am

Jellen

Thank goodness they weren't there.

5:52 am

Aloyisius

So very sorry , mrp... but so very happy you are unharmed!

5:52 am

herinfernallady

Mr PRes im glad you are ok. That is so scary for you. Also hope you have car insurance?

5:52 am

mrpresident

i was not hurt cause i didn't get impacted to the body... but SHIT it was close!

5:52 am

Scrabbler

It is time for a prayer of gratitude!! Your guardian angel protected you!

5:52 am

Jacula

I'm with Scrabbs on that one!

5:53 am

lynxxx

You obviously had a 'safe' car, thank goodness!

5:53 am

mrpresident

if I did, it would have shattered my arm and I would have lost it... not to mention other things... I am just thankful and grateful that god looked out for me

5:53 am

sunny09

so glad you are ok.

5:53 am

redturtlehead

5:54 am

herinfernallady

Mr Pres thank goodness someone was looking out for you. At least its just a car.

5:54 am

redturtlehead

Legally?wow. I am really glad you are ok Mr P..

5:54 am

FMitch

MrP so glad you are alright.

5:54 am

ch1212

Your system has had a real shock. Your muscles may be pretty sore for the next couple days. Please be gentle with yourself and nurtured. Wish we were all there to make you tea and give you hugs.

5:54 am

herinfernallady

Yep

5:55 am

mrpresident

you can drive without comprehensive insurance, but not without compulsary third party insurance, worth $20 million

5:55 am

redturtlehead

that amazes me.

5:55 am

redturtlehead

Ahh, so that makes more sense Mr P...

5:55 am

Scrabbler

What about the other driver? OK?

5:56 am

mrpresident

he was fine... he was upset at first, but I apologised and begged for forgiveness

5:56 am

phandmd

so you weren't supposed to be in the intersection?

5:56 am

redturtlehead

Mr it seems as if it was his fault?

5:56 am

FMitch

Why did you apologise?

5:57 am

Jacula

FM - I was wondering that.

5:57 am

mrpresident

it wasn't his fault... it was a chain reaction that forced me into the intersection, I was blind sided by a massive 4WD and I moved forward into fast moving traffic

5:58 am

redturtlehead

Oh double yuck, mr p. What a horrible day. I am so sorry.

5:58 am

phandmd

so you were hit by 2 cars?

5:58 am

FMitch

Ahhh, gosh it soulds like it could have been a very nasty incident all round.

5:58 am

herinfernallady

Grabs Mr PRes and tightly hugs her very gently

5:58 am

lynxxx

and haven't we all cursed the 4WDs for exactly the same thing...glad their drivers can see

5:58 am

Scrabbler

Then it really could have been worse if multiple cars had been involved.

5:58 am

mrpresident

fmitch, red, it was my fault, but it was an accident!! it was foggy and raining and the road was very wet, he couldn't avoid hitting me otherwise he would have had to veer into oncoming traffic (there was a concrete island in the middle of the road...) his car would have flipped

5:59 am

cool girl

could i please have a clue 4 the no4/4 and the pural please

5:59 am

herinfernallady

Oh thats what i had to ask MR PRes. You aren't to swamped there at the moment? i heard the rain was swampie

5:59 am

mrpresident

I just missed the second car... it was so so scary

5:59 am

FMitch

(((MrP)))

6:00 am

Scrabbler

Scary, scary situation! One that you review in your head. I had to slam my brakes the other night to avoid hitting a deer.

6:00 am

redturtlehead

Well, it seems that it was a complete accident caused by the weather and the fast traffic and there really weren't a lot of options. But I am still so glad to hear yu and everyone is alright...

6:01 am

mrpresident

this happened 12 hours ago, and only now I am able to chat about it without crying.... I had to ring lickety and I could barely talk. I then called a friend and she came to get me and took care of me all day.

6:01 am

lynxxx

Cool - midday

6:01 am

Scrabbler

It's over and you're safe! This will be a distant memory soon.

FMitch

LOL Hi Uni

6:19 am

redturtlehead

I need a tin hat, and some sleep. I just got very angry at a secretary who was very very rude, but in the end, the problem was somewhat my own fault. Still, she doesn't need to be so aggressively wierd, but then again, it was essentially my mistake...

6:20 am

redturtlehead

Grrr.

6:20 am

redturtlehead

Have no fear people, it involved a piece of missing paperwork, not actual care of anyone.

6:20 am

Uniquity

Red turtle head, I am on your side as I know you....Hopefully you can go home soon?

6:21 am

Uniquity

Hi mama FMitch!!! I've missed you...I heard things. Awful, nasty things. ;)

6:23 am

redturtlehead

6:23 am

redturtlehead

6:24 am

FMitch

No, you just go on in and relax :)

6:24 am

redturtlehead

6:33 am

redturtlehead

what is the theme today, though I will have no time to change.

6:34 am

Jacula

Red - cookery books. Not sure about what Ata's discussion was that sparked it though.

NonoNanette

GoWilyes JAcs, will have a go but not sur ehow clrear it will come up on printing.

6:34 am

redturtlehead

Ah well, then my recipe can stay, I am not a big cook book fan, so this is perfect!!

6:35 am

Uniquity

I don't have a cookbook...I make my stuff from imagination

6:35 am

LoriP

bf, it's suggested by posters, for fun and variety. I'm just lazy today

6:35 am

bfsog

so the icons should match a theme?

6:36 am

o-o

how many calories do you imagine eating?

6:37 am

LoriP

If your heart desires bf. We don't send Vinnie and Guido after you for not complying or anything......

Atalante

I'm used to her being ill, but now I have a spaniel with 3 stitches in her paw. NOT HObbit, but C's springer spaniel Willow

MLFAN17

10:32 am

Atalante

10:32 am

Uniquity

DO it Ata!!
DOOO it

10:32 am

Atalante

10:32 am

FMitch

but it is sooooo wonderful when it stops

10:32 am

pinkhatlil

no worries TO, im lurking anyway!

10:32 am

Haz1558

It's just that big grids are so much fun to begin with. The frenzy of it all.

10:33 am

Uniquity

Oh! OH! I am halfway finally!

Haz1558

Ah! Though technically we're the two itches.

10:36 am

Atalante

oh yes, I must read back about that

10:36 am

Haz1558

Could we be the source of the flea problem in Ata's sheets?

10:36 am

Uniquity

Oh, we're gonna go there, are we?

10:36 am

Haz1558

Have we sent our itchiness through the internet?

10:36 am

Uniquity

Are you the itch we just can't get rid of? :)

10:37 am

FMitch

We can share it. That and the cream for those nasty itches :)

10:37 am

Haz1558

Uniquity really does need to get working on the tinfoil business.

10:37 am

Uniquity

I have to hide the tinfoil, lest my hat be stolen aagain as it was this morning...

10:40 am

Haz1558

Bullet proof vest. And you're a rotten shot.

10:41 am

Uniquity

I blame FMitch for the business of the day an the bigness of the grid :(

10:57 am

Atalante

10:57 am

Haz1558

That's no way to talk about a babbler, Judi.

10:57 am

nDanLia

to of 329 words, 11 contain that, but not all at end

10:58 am

Judi

Heavens. I meant a word not a fellow Babbler. Don't know about you, but I can't detect cyber smells.

10:58 am

FMitch

Nice strats nDan

10:58 am

FMitch

10:59 am

Haz1558

Cyber smells? Surely not!

11:00 am

Judi

Apropos to nothing, hubby was working up in the attic last night - had the ladder in the hallway to the attic access. Our cat, Norman, decided he wanted to climb the ladder to see what daddy was doing!

11:00 am

Haz1558

And what happened?

11:01 am

FMitch

he climbed the stairs, cats are clever

11:01 am

11:01 am

Fortunately, he couldn't get into the attic, but he looked pretty silly sitting on top of the 8 foot ladder.

11:02 am

FMitch

Krista straight to the PB with you on 2 counts

11:02 am

Judi

He did that out in the garage once too - got on top of the opened garage door. Hence his nickname..."monkey boy".

11:02 am

Krista

oh no way

11:02 am

Haz1558

So, did he come down by himself or did he take a flying leap?

11:03 am

Krista

You're downright domestic today, Seain. **checks post very carefully before hitting send**

11:04 am

Krista

No, I'm the one with the sense of humor..she was serious about it! lol

11:04 am

dcseain

i opine that common chat words like ic4 ought be ignored, though i totally see the oher POV.

11:05 am

cybernan

good morning all -- this one is going to be too big for me to finish today!

11:05 am

Haz1558

FM has had so much fun making the PB, she's intent on getting it put to good use.

Good morning cybernan.

Soldier on, TO. I have 176 left.

11:07 am

11:08 am

dcseain

but need laundry done so i can dress :)

11:08 am

Haz1558

I read that as 'small Haz is in the garden' and mental images of a little statue came to mind.

11:08 am

Krista

Come on in, Owl!

11:08 am

72 Temple Owl

: )

11:09 am

FMitch

Which class is it tonight dc?
lol Haz

11:09 am

Krista

still the wrist problem? sorry to hear that

11:09 am

FMitch

I could make you into a gnome like lills if you like? or not.

11:09 am

Haz1558

NOT!

11:09 am

dcseain

yes, will go to doctor soon; i think an anti-inflammatory stronger than ibuprofen will help it heal. and i'm doing the stretches that help it .

11:09 am

FMitch

ROFL

11:10 am

dcseain

there could be a statuary annex with half-size marbles of us all :) in the garden

11:10 am

Haz1558

I'd be a clothed statue. Gok Wan can talk all he likes, but I reckon a bit of covering up is a good thing at my age.

11:10 am

Krista

i've got CTS..Babble aggravates the heck out of it

11:10 am

72 Temple Owl

haz you'd make a swell gnome. however, about the pose....

11:10 am

FMitch

Oh that would be interesting dc

11:11 am

Krista

I'd want to be in there as my Crabby ic**...though I haven't used him in ages

11:12 am

dcseain

praise ELvis, no CTS for me so far. the de quervain's is bad enough; i can't play my violin nor accordion with it

11:12 am

FMitch

Once I have the basics of the garden done I will put it on flickr and would appreciate everyones ideas., same goes for the one I will put up tomorrow.

11:12 am

dcseain

cool, Fmitch, will do :)

11:13 am

Krista

put in a fountain so we can throw in coins to pay you for your efforts

11:13 am

Haz1558

Gosh, this is getting to be more interesting than finding words. Wondering about the PB Annexe and Horticultural Experience, I mean.

11:13 am

dcseain

a fountain a la Bartholdi would be lovely

11:13 am

Haz1558

It could turn into a theme park.

11:13 am

72 Temple Owl

does anyone remember a time when the long words were cued?

11:14 am

Krista

**looking up de quervain**

11:14 am

Last week, the cashier left in the middle of my order (??) and the new girl scanned most of the next person's groceries with mine. They took items off my order, but missed a few. I just gave them to her. When I got to the car, I found her roasted chicken but didn't feel like going back to find her, took it home, and ate it. I felt guilty even tho I paid for it and some of her other food!

As I've also said before: Some things are true even if George Bush believes them, but good luck getting anyone to buy that anymore.
Thomas Friedman is a columnist with The New York Times.

1:47 pm

lil*monkey

perhaps it would have been anatomically correct if the light swtich was his peepee

1:48 pm

Scarlet

Mr. Friedman is a rational human being...

1:48 pm

Krista

ewwww :)

1:48 pm

Scarlet

Ata, Mr. Quayle's no-no came when he corrected a schoolboy's spelling of potato/e...

1:49 pm

Atalante

1:49 pm

Krista

they have page-a-day calendars with Bushisms now..prob could have made 10 years' worth

1:49 pm

Scarlet

Ata... no blushing... YOU didn't do it! LOL

1:50 pm

o-o

Quayle: â€œIf we don't succeed we run the risk of failureâ€.

1:50 pm

Scarlet

*smirk*

1:50 pm

Krista

i had forgotten that classic lol

1:51 pm

lil*monkey

what was that amazing foot-in-mouth quote Dan Quayle made while speaking to the NAACP?

1:51 pm

Scarlet

I can't wait until Mr. Bush tries to raise funds for his presidential library... the comic book section will take up the most space...

1:52 pm

Atalante

nah. picture books. don't comics have words?

1:52 pm

lil*monkey

LOL scarlet

1:52 pm

hurshy

1:52 pm

Scarlet

1:53 pm

1:53 pm

Uneaixoise

Scarlet, Bush's presidential library is a running joke in "November" on Broadway with Nathan Lane :-)

1:54 pm

Krista

nucular...he tried to say that was a regional way to pronounce it

1:54 pm

movieman

Never trust a Texan president, they're all as dumb as bricks

1:54 pm

Scarlet

Is that one you saw whilst tripping the light fantastic, Une?

1:54 pm

lil*monkey

NOO KYU LAR

1:54 pm

Scarlet

I ADORE Nathan Lane...

1:54 pm

Uneaixoise

1:55 pm

Scarlet

Perfection, Une!! Lucky lady! Reviews, schmereviews... if you liked it, that's all that matters...

1:55 pm

Krista

Hey Movieman

1:55 pm

movieman

Hey Krista

1:55 pm

movieman

Anyone else seen/ planning to see Cloverfield?

1:56 pm

Krista

1:56 pm

Uneaixoise

1:56 pm

Uneaixoise

I saw it the day it opened :-)

1:56 pm

movieman

What did you think, une?

1:57 pm

Scarlet

W.. Virginia seems to have swung in favor of Mr. Huckabee...

1:57 pm

Uneaixoise

it just about gave me vertigo but I enjoyed it . . .

1:57 pm

pabtrek

I would like to see it sometime, movieman, but will probably wait for it to come out on dvd

1:57 pm

Uneaixoise

pab, it's a good one to see on the big screen . . .

1:57 pm

hurshy

to 7? either or both...

1:58 pm

Krista

they're pretty conservative (live right over the border and used to work there), so not shocked

1:58 pm

Scarlet

I'm with pabtrek.. it's more fun at home, and I don't have to worry about a serial groper who seems to be making the scene in Asheville movie theaters!

1:58 pm

Scarlet

I agree, Krista... not unexpected.

1:58 pm

Uneaixoise

yikes, scarlet!! well . . . of course, we did have a flasher in our neighborhood last week

1:58 pm

movieman

Will be seeing 'Jumper' next week, although surely for its US release it should be called 'Sweater'?

1:58 pm

o-o

to 7 -- dial to*** and ***k tock

1:59 pm

pabtrek

lol, movieman

1:59 pm

o-o

to 7 -- 2000 and certain

1:59 pm

Atalante

is it a jumper as in sweater or jumper as in hurdler?

1:59 pm

Scarlet

I honestly feel that a flasher is by far, more interesting than a panting groper...

1:59 pm

Krista

I'd like to see it! I need to get a big screen tv..it would pay for itself with the money i'd save not going to the movies..it's extortionate

1:59 pm

hurshy

1:59 pm

Uneaixoise

Hello, Haz! It has been an enjoyable grid.

2:11 pm

o-o

hello, haz .... my ingrown whisker has taken a turn for the worse

2:11 pm

pabtrek

i feel silly asking for it, but the ne5 please

2:12 pm

Atalante

hi haz :) how's the spangly one?

2:12 pm

Haz1558

Will intensive care be necessary, Babble?

2:12 pm

Haz1558

Hello Scarlet - and Atalante, Spangly one is fine.

2:13 pm

o-o

ne and a record of the past: h***ory

2:14 pm

pabtrek

thanks Babble, like duh

2:14 pm

Atalante

I have an intensive care spaniel. a bandaged paw causing much angst

2:14 pm

o-o

I expect some down time

2:14 pm

Haz1558

Did the bandaged paw also necessitate a lampshade?

2:15 pm

Atalante

luckily no. just no walking for 3 days and antibiotics for a week. and 3 stitches

2:15 pm

periwinkle

down to 97 left

2:16 pm

movieman

Same here, peri

2:16 pm

Haz1558

Hope the spaniel cooperates in all aspects of care. Are you getting the 'look'?

2:16 pm

Scarlet

Same here, peri.

2:16 pm

periwinkle

:-)

2:16 pm

Atalante

all the time! she's having constant rawhide to stop her nibbling at the bandage. which makes hobbit look very unimpressed

2:17 pm

movieman

just found another 3 words

2:17 pm

Haz1558

peri, Scarlet and Movieman are on a race to the finish....

2:17 pm

Haz1558

Are the stitches on the pad itself?

2:17 pm

Scarlet

I'll cede youth and energy to their races, Haz... I am on a leisurely stroll right now...

2:17 pm

Atalante

no, luckily. on her ankle joint

2:18 pm

Atalante

she had an encounter with some barbed wire, poor darling

2:18 pm

periwinkle

now stuck in the dreaded RE words

2:18 pm

Haz1558

That's good - stitches on the pad are notoriously difficult to heal.

2:18 pm

o-o

remember the stroll, Scarlet?

2:18 pm

Uneaixoise

oh, ata, so sorry!!!

2:18 pm

periwinkle

I remember the stroll

2:19 pm

Scarlet

Yes I do, BR-r... slow and easy R&R...

2:19 pm

Haz1558

You tell them that, Scarlet, then overtake at the end just when they've been lulled into a false sense of security.

2:19 pm

periwinkle

used to watch American Bandstand

2:19 pm

Scarlet

Come'on baby, let's do the stroooolllll.....

2:19 pm

Atalante

yes ... this should heal absolutely fine now its stitched. as long as she manages to stop nibbling at it

2:19 pm

Scarlet

You know me so very well, Haz... LOL

2:20 pm

Scarlet

So did I, peri, and Dick Clark isn't much changed in 50 years... the stroke slowed him down a bit, but he still looks wonderful.

2:20 pm

pabtrek

finally done, thanks to lickety's list and all my fellow babblers who gave fabulous clues, must give my brain a break, see everyone tomorrow

2:20 pm
