12:13 am

12:13 am

12:14 am

chic

12:14 am

proud not to have looked at the list for this one :)

12:18 am

stidmama

jellen! what are you still doing up!!! *look of awe at stamina of librarian-types*

12:18 am

Jellen

Slept late this morning, stid.

12:18 am

cybernan

mitch done already!!! -- just got here

12:18 am

stidmama

hello nan!

12:19 am

Jellen

Hi, nan

12:19 am

stidmama

oh -- I know how that is, Jellen! LOL tricky cycle, that!

12:19 am

jillibus

hi nan -- dart finished before mitch -- took about 10 minutes

12:20 am

dart001

think mitch got here later than i

12:21 am

maniac_mitch

don't think i've seen a more peasly board than this one

12:21 am

dart001

think 70 or so is the smallest ive seen

12:22 am

rururocks

there was a 13 once

12:22 am

stidmama

I have seen grids in the 50s or so.

12:22 am

dart001

wow

12:22 am

jillibus

a 13???

12:22 am

licketySplitAUS

ruru - 13? The smallest I've seen is 35

12:22 am

flosey

we had a 50 + not too long ago

12:23 am

licketySplitAUS

and that's in the last 675 grids

12:23 am

dart001

i know on tangle we had boards that in 2 mins. people together only found 5 or 6

12:23 am

maniac_mitch

yea, saw a couple of those - saw one with 3 - i wonder if they use a different board generator here

12:24 am

licketySplitAUS

From what I know - Dr God has pre built all of the grids in advance. I'd imagine he throws out the really small, and really large ones.

12:24 am

dart001

i often wondered if some boards were set up and others were total random generated or not

12:24 am

maniac_mitch

makes sense

12:24 am

stidmama

got the J... down to 13

12:25 am

licketySplitAUS

There also might be rules on max number of repeating letters - I'm just guessing.

12:25 am

jillibus

Lickety -- the other night Dr_G had run out of grids again -- what did you do?

12:25 am

licketySplitAUS

As far as I know they are completely random - but I'd say there are some rules. jilibus - I would say so.

12:25 am

licketySplitAUS

I didn't do anything - wasn't me ;-)

12:26 am

1:06 am

rururocks

or both?

1:07 am

rururocks

contagiously inspirational?

1:07 am

moonwoof

Possibly. But it could also be that your monkey got bored with a short grid?

1:07 am

rururocks

contispatedly irrational?

1:08 am

rururocks

we lost the monkey over the weekend

1:08 am

1:16 am

VolleymomDee

1:16 am

Kizah

It's true...so much has changed with cancer treatment. My husband was stage four colon cancer and is now cancer free. It wasn't easy and he's now missing some colon and half a lung (metasticized...sp?), but I still have him!

1:16 am

rururocks

2:34 am

sprite

wtg Mar!

2:34 am

herinfernallady

Yes but Stories and rhymes from different childhoods and cultures to open her to a wide range of experiences.

I'd really like to tell her the original versions of fairy tales too. No homogenised Disney stuff while I can help it.

Also any games that you can think of that help develop hand eye co-ordination from an early age would be good.

2:34 am

FranMag

yay mar!!!

2:34 am

lynxxx

Hooray for Just!

2:34 am

herinfernallady

That is what she is asking

herinfernallady

Thanks. I think Grimm Stories are a bit to old for her. Can you email me at her_infernal_ladyship@yahoo.com

2:38 am

sprite

thanks lynxxx!
Yes Fran... same one that keeps trying to start a flare against me. Thought I'd ask, lol, to be sure.

2:38 am

FranMag

well, at 18 months all they want to do is turn the pages anyway. :-)

2:39 am

herinfernallady

Well its interesting that shes asking now

2:39 am

sprite

best she can do at 18 months is cuddle her a lot, play a lot with her, talk to her a lot.

2:39 am

FranMag

i'll look around in the morning infernal, if that's okay

2:39 am

herinfernallady

Thanks Fran

2:39 am

lynxxx

Infernal - i am sure if your friend asks at her local library the childrens librarian would be able to suggest many suitable books

2:39 am

herinfernallady

Sprite at about 5 the b.f was reading The Hobbit

2:40 am

sprite

er yes lady?

2:40 am

FranMag

i used to read all the legends and stories from different countries. there was a series of libraby books like that.

2:40 am

FranMag

those were my favorite books

2:40 am

sprite

ah, great suggestion, lynxxx.

2:40 am

herinfernallady

Im pointing out that at 2 he was already ah? of the class

2:41 am

sprite

so did I, Fran. My mother used to collect fairytales from all over the world :)

2:41 am

herinfernallady

Thanks Fran

2:42 am

FranMag

that's pretty advanced infernal. is he related to the 18-month old?

2:42 am

sprite

but not at 18 months into reading, I think... still, Grimm is about the archtypical things. Very good stuff.

2:42 am

herinfernallady

Gosh No

2:42 am

lynxxx

Infernal - I would bet that the library would also be a source of animated fairytales cd's from diff countries as well. If not they would be able to order from other libraries. Most libraries have special infant/childrens sections

2:42 am

FranMag

ooh, Jellen's birthday is on the 12th

2:43 am

sprite

thanks Fran :)

2:43 am

3:42 am

Thank you ... we are quite excited, it's different somehow when it's your own daughter

3:43 am

P.J.

3:43 am

Andree

yes it is karys although i will never forget the excitement of that 1st grandchild

3:44 am

P.J.

isn't it wonderful,the next best thing to being a mom!

3:44 am

Andree

we took out a 1/4 page in the local paper saying a star is born

3:44 am

Karys

Yes, it was exciting, I think another reason is that I see Clare alot during the course of the week.

3:46 am

Andree

funny about daughters i see my daughter a lot too so spend more time with her kids

3:46 am

Karys

I do wonder too, whether because I had so many foster babies when the other Grandchildren were born, I was a bit 'babied' out, but now I don't foster anymore I am more looking forward to it.

3:47 am

Andree

congratulations

3:47 am

P.J.

3:57 am

FMitch

Sheesh, how long for Karys

3:58 am

jaianniah

TY, Karys!

3:58 am

Haz1558

No. it's not like you rubbed our noses in it when you sailed off to get married in the Caribbean.

3:58 am

Karys

only 10 days Mitch, it's a wedding and we're staying on for a bit of a holiday. It will be another one off the 'to do' list.

3:58 am

bfsog

hey all.

3:58 am

Haz1558

At Christmas. When the rest of us were knee deep in slush and sprouts.

3:59 am

Haz1558

Hello bf!

3:59 am

jaianniah

Hey, bfsog!

3:59 am

Karys

Strangely, I didn't miss the sprouts at all that year !

3:59 am

Karys

hi bfsog

3:59 am

FMitch

Hi bfsog

3:59 am

Andree

well i am off, happy babbling to you all

4:00 am

Haz1558

No - we had your share to wade through as well.

4:00 am

Haz1558

Bye Andreee, have a good evening.

4:00 am

Karys

Right, now I have imparted my news, I really must go.... back later for the last 11.

4:00 am

Haz1558

See you later, Karys. And it IS wonderful news.

4:01 am

FMitch

LOL Haz, and bye Karys

4:01 am

Karys

Thank you...I knew you would all be pleased !!

4:04 am

FMitch

BRB coffee time

4:11 am

FMitch

This is turning into a good grid, lots of old babble words well hidden.

4:12 am

Haz1558

Yes, some familiar friends that went walkabout for a while.

4:13 am

Haz1558

And some strangers that turned up out of the blue.

4:13 am

FMitch

Is S better now he has shared his germs with you all?

4:14 am

Haz1558

He's on the mend and daughter has gone back to school even though she isn't 100 per cent yet. Spangle remains healthy.

4:15 am

FMitch

Can you train her to answer the phone and bring you a cup of tea perhaps?

4:16 am

Haz1558

I don't think so. I know my limitations.

4:18 am

FMitch

Gasp - you have ... limitations...?!

4:19 am

FMitch

2 shocks in one morning, it's all too much

4:19 am

Haz1558

Oh yes. You already know about the sewing thing, it shouldn't be such a shock.

4:20 am

FMitch

Oh that is just an amusing little eccentricity of yours that we love

4:21 am

FMitch

There was a yum recipe in last weeks weekender for Apple/Blackberry crubmle cake, did you happen to see it?

4:21 am

Haz1558

Yes, but look how much it costs me when I need things sewn! Plus the disgrace of having daughter's name tapes criticised by the home economics teacher.

4:22 am

FMitch

Oh the ignomy of it, I had forgotten the home economics teach episode

4:22 am

Haz1558

I probably did see it, FMitch - I like the idea of Delia's cheat cookery, although it would probably take more of an effort to source all the cheat stuff than to do the things the hard way.

4:22 am

Haz1558

She lost a pupil for Home Economics GCSE over that episode.

4:24 am

FMitch

I'll email you the cake recipe, I can see it might have Sunday lunchtime possibilities.

4:25 am

Haz1558

Okay, I'm going to be all determined and disciplined in defiance of drippiness. Off I go to tackle the housework and THEN watch out walls, wallpaper is coming.

4:25 am

FMitch

I say! Fireworks. Took me by surprise there.

4:25 am

Haz1558

That would be great (the recipe)!

4:25 am

FMitch

Don't overdo it and see you later.

4:26 am

Haz1558

Well done us on fireworks. A mutual round of back-slapping.

4:26 am

FMitch

Congrats to you too :)

4:26 am

Haz1558

Okay - have a good day yourself - it's nice and bright here so a walk will be factored in.

4:26 am

Haz1558

Bye for now!

4:26 am

FMitch

TTFN Drippy.

4:27 am

Haz1558

Soggy wave!

7:42 am

Scrabbler

Luc--you will laugh--most of the schools in Buffalo are closed due to the extreme cold...windchills of 15-20 below zero F.

7:43 am

Scrabbler

The concern is always the low income kids without warm winter clothing.

7:43 am

EvaNadine

mornin babblers!

7:43 am

montreal13

no no scrabs - minus 15-20 F approaches REAL colds - it's about 0 degrees C...

7:44 am

Yes, I know. What we are experiencing here is what some areas call a warm spell.

7:44 am

montreal13

7:44 am

Scrabbler

7:50 am

Aloyisius

ty, Eva... saw it right off !

7:50 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Aloy. The first half of the drive was scary---whiteouts. I saw Mary but she was very irritable and asked me to leave after a while. I felt hurt (still do) but I know that was her pain/sadness/frustration speaking.

7:50 am

EvaNadine

theres an MA6, but i dont have that yet...

7:51 am

montreal13

sorry to hear that ((scrabs))

7:51 am

Scrabbler

Hmm, it's not whining....looking still.

7:51 am

EvaNadine

ahh, found the MA6 -- its an alternate spelling of craziness, insanity...

7:52 am

EvaNadine

(or at least, thats what it looks like)

7:52 am

montreal13

tx eva - got the ma6

7:52 am

Anniebrook

Oh Scrabbler...don't be hurt.

7:52 am

Scrabbler

Aha, I figured out wh7! TY for the clue.

7:53 am

gdine

my crazy insanity is in the way of me figuring out the ma 6 clue!

7:53 am

Aloyisius

oh dear.. yes, don't take it personally... I am like that too... don't want anyone around, need to withdraw for strength.. sorry you didn't have a better visit.. she will thank you later

7:53 am

montreal13

tx gdine, got theWH7

7:53 am

shorty

the temp in Ohio is also 7

7:53 am

EvaNadine

i have HE6 and MA6

7:53 am

gdine

Yw...another clue for ma 6?

7:54 am

EvaNadine

MA6 ends up the sewing of the bottom of a pant leg of skirt

7:54 am

montreal13

hi shorty

7:54 am

Scrabbler

I know, Annie, but I am her friend, and I want to help her feel comfortable, and then she wanted to be alone, but she let her brother stay. I just want Mary back--the Mary I knew, but she is suffering SO much, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. It breaks my heart.

7:54 am

Anniebrook

Newborns are fascinating creatures to watch. They were inside, in fluid, not breathing, then they come out and start breathing in this world. The transition is incredible. It still amazes me whenever I see a new baby at the hospital.

Vicuna

Poor caitlyn. I, on the other hand, am relieved to have a small one, as I have other things I need to be doing.

11:42 am

Vicuna

FM, I am strong indeed. But although you may be tall, your delicate and waiflike frame is as a summer breeze to heft and toss.

11:43 am

caitlyn

How romantic Vic !!LOL

11:43 am

Don't worry, LadyNatts. You're safe as long as you don't go all Latin on us.

11:48 am

Book Doctor Gwen

both Es are weird. you might need EL 4, add two letters that you say when you greet someone

11:49 am

nDanLia

other e is an announcer or host of a show

11:49 am

LadyNatts

that worked

11:49 am

Book Doctor Gwen

the other E is a recent word, based on a acronym, means the guy that hosts the show

11:49 am

11:50 am

LadyNatts

Book Doctor Gwen

the weird F is FJ 5, rhymes with the M that is a word from gin rummy or Star Trek

11:52 am

caitlyn

12:02 pm

Krys10

12:02 pm

LadyNatts

12:02 pm

LadyNatts

12:02 pm

Atalante

12:03 pm

FMitch

Darn I hate it when the phone goes, return to the log and you have NO idea what people are talking 'bout

12:03 pm

LadyNatts

Is that a lion taunt, ata?

12:03 pm

Vicuna

"extra crispy feet?" Isn't that the specialty of our local Chinese restaurant?

12:03 pm

caitlyn

le4/5 and le4/7 are normal words Lady

12:03 pm

Atalante

firebirds, ABBA and dancing on hot coals

12:03 pm

Vicuna

Hey, FM, if you have to leave the chat to get into that state, you're probably doing better than most.

12:04 pm

nDanLia

one's in gasoline ; other on a tree

12:04 pm

FMitch

Oh and that makes it all clear thanks Ata

12:04 pm

LadyNatts

I have the tree word

12:04 pm

sadie52

the other one is also what superman couldnt see though

12:04 pm

Atalante

I was at the hospital a few days ago and a local cat wandered in. One of the consultants - who is a really lovely and funny Chinese guy - looks at it and yells "dinner!". Everyone burst out laughing

12:05 pm

caitlyn

LOL Ata I like that !!

12:05 pm

FMitch

lol

12:05 pm

sadie52

lol Atalante

12:06 pm

We regularly threaten to eat our cat. So far we've always concluded it wouldn't be worth the trouble.

12:06 pm

LadyNatts

fish me, please

12:06 pm

Atalante

it was a wonderfully funny moment in the midst of much angst at the clinic. It was a beautiful cat too. Apparently he visits regularly

12:06 pm

sadie52

for which im sure the cat is grateful lol

12:06 pm

caitlyn

The whiskers could get stuck in your teeth Vic

12:06 pm

LadyNatts

Passing fish over to Lady..make sure the cat doesnt get it though

12:07 pm

FMitch

Too much chat and not enough work Lady!!

12:07 pm

Vicuna

Well, we're saving her for the end of civilization. Then a few whiskers won't seem such a big price to pay.

12:07 pm

granadan

I dont know Vic - properly stewed it might last a couple of good meals. Plenty of ginger and cumin...

12:08 pm

Atalante

your cat has at last got to have more meat on it than Sily!

12:09 pm

Vicuna

Ata, you've been away ministering again, I take it? Are things stabilized again now?

12:09 pm

LadyNatts

lol.. that's funny. you know, I got my kids siamese fighting fish for a christmas present... one day, my daughter made a tuna sandwich to eat... the cat was all over her, and she told the cat "no! my fish!" .. so the cat went upstairs to her bedroom and ate the fish out of the bowl.

12:09 pm

FMitch

I am shocked at the lot of you

12:09 pm

Atalante

stabilised till Wednesday. Big op then!

2:07 pm

FMitch

you stole my line!! Hi Haz

2:07 pm

nDanLia

'lo

2:08 pm

Haz1558

My recommendation. If you have to drip, use Kleenex Balsam tissues. They're soft.

2:08 pm

nDanLia

that was quite good FM, thks

2:08 pm

Atalante

no! get Kleenex Olbas tissues. bliss

2:08 pm

Atalante

I know *grins*

2:08 pm

FMitch

so long as you don't get mixed up with the wallpaper Haz

2:08 pm

Haz1558

Oh, I haven't tried the Olbas ones. Will they take away the itchiness?

2:09 pm

Atalante

they are really nice. if you have a stuffy nose they work miracles

2:09 pm

Haz1558

I think I now know how people with hay fever feel.

2:09 pm

FMitch

what they turn your nose into wine?

2:10 pm

Atalante

oooo! I wish1

2:10 pm

Haz1558

I reckon I look like the before version of some miracle cures. I just want to feel like the after version!

2:11 pm

Atalante

but honestly, being serious for a sec *gasp*, if you have a stuffed up nose, do get the Olbas tissues. You are *wonderful*

2:11 pm

Atalante

You? LMAO

2:11 pm

Atalante

they!

2:11 pm

Atalante

ok, I'm half asleep. Or making Freudian slips. Or something

2:11 pm

Haz1558

I will. And thank you for telling me I'm wonderful.

2:12 pm

FMitch

2:13 pm

Haz1558

Ah praise. there's many a surprise in babble.

2:13 pm

praise2him

have monkeyed all around it and can't seem to come up with the right combo

2:13 pm

Haz1558

It's the same structure as Sally the actress or the area dreamt of by Kevin Costner.

2:15 pm

praise2him

ty haz--found it

2:15 pm

Haz1558

That's good!

2:16 pm

FMitch

HAve you achieved nirvana with the grid Haz and what of the decorating?

2:17 pm

Haz1558

The grid was a lot easier than the decorating! I've made a start this afternoon and hoping to speed up tomorrow.

2:17 pm

praise2him

great--we are under snow advisory tonight

2:17 pm

Atalante

what are you decorating, Haz? and do you like the springer in my pic? look in her eyes ........

2:19 pm

Haz1558

If I look in her eyes I'll get hypnotised........ I'm decorating what used to be a study/spare bedroom and making it into a second lounge/study.

2:19 pm

FMitch

Oh dear, how much are they predicting praise?

2:19 pm

praise2him

they say we can get up to 6 inches

2:19 pm

Atalante

you will, you will, but its worth it

2:19 pm

praise2him

and I have to be at a meeting for work tonite

2:19 pm

Haz1558

I did the painting last week, waited longer than expected for the wallpaper to arrive - it came on Saturday. New carpet is down, new furniture can come whenever the papering is finished.

2:20 pm

FMitch

Just what you don't need then praise

2:20 pm

praise2him

well hubby is treasurer so he has to be at meeting tonite too

2:20 pm

praise2him

2:20 pm

praise2him

I guess if it gets too bad by tomorrow I will just stay home from work

2:21 pm

FMitch

2:21 pm

praise2him

2:21 pm

Atalante

ooo wonderful! photos I hope on completion

2:21 pm

praise2him

LOL

2:21 pm

Haz1558

You'll have to hope for a longer grid for tomorrow, in that case.

2:21 pm

praise2him

I am just really tired of snow and ice

2:22 pm

praise2him

fell on the ice a couple of weekends ago and messed up my knee

2:22 pm

FMitch

Haz, can you tell Ata that I am not talking to her.

2:22 pm

Haz1558

I'll take photos - not sure whether they'll be wonderful, though. I'm always nervous to see what a finished scheme actually turns out like.

2:22 pm

Haz1558

Ata, FM isn't talking to you.

2:22 pm

Haz1558

Ata, do you have a message for FM?

2:23 pm

FMitch

Thank you *sits with back facing poopy person*

2:23 pm

Haz1558

(I hope I'm not the poopy person - I'm the drippy one)

2:24 pm

praise2him

2:32 pm

FMitch

Of course, *grabs Ata in a hug and knocks flosey photos all over the floor*

2:32 pm

7:28 pm

saphyre

7:28 pm

stidmama

well, I live at the southern end of Puget Sound. It's the same climate (most of the year) as around San Francisco

7:28 pm

redturtlehead

Its the time zone, Dawg, he's 2 hours behind me, in a warm place.

7:29 pm

redturtlehead

Oh no stid, I thought it was china!!!!

7:29 pm

lbdawger

Stid lives in a temperate zone.

7:29 pm

featherbee

ohhh. here i was thinking you were more northern, thus colder and snowier.

7:29 pm

hurshy

we are both going to move. he's been applying to grad school. he's been accepted at yale so far, and is waiting to hear from the others. yale's my first choise, even though i feel like harvard ought to be, but of course he wants to visit and meet the people before deciding (assuming he gets in more places).

7:29 pm

saphyre

I'm jealous - so tired of winter even though it has been a mild one so far - just dreary

7:29 pm

stidmama

so, feather, I can grow some things that are sort of like tropical -- things that grow in and around Los Angeles even, if I put them in the right spot and shelter them on the few days that dip below freezing.

7:29 pm

redturtlehead

but he could wait until 7 pm, which is 9 his time. I think...

7:29 pm

jillibus

my flag flies a little north of stid

7:29 pm

featherbee

oh that's very cool hursh!

7:30 pm

stidmama

I miss the beautiful colors of the east coast though, and sugar maples (for example) don't really do their "thing" here.

7:30 pm

featherbee

we have a big storm coming in. less than 24 hours away, and the forecasters still aren't sure what it will do.

7:30 pm

redturtlehead

Jacula

Hello everyone. Although there was frost last night and again tonight, the day was sunny. In my garden, the mini narcissi and irises are in flower, along with lovely, pale yellow primroses, winter jasmine and mahonia. When I looked out of my kitchen window yesterday afternoon I saw a bee working the yellow flowers of the winter jasmine.

7:34 pm

redturtlehead

Well...I suppose I might ought to invest in a set of chains for the car, I just hate putting them on.

7:34 pm

stidmama

I wonder if I should think about starting supper or just wait for Tom to get home with the kid? the younger kid is with friends until close to bedtime, so he's taken care of.

7:34 pm

stidmama

7:35 pm

stidmama

Jac, your yard always sounds so lovely to me.

7:35 pm

featherbee

we had wind chills of -15 here. we had to have the kids drag their coats with them everywhere, "just in case" there was a fire drill or anything at all.

7:35 pm

renfield

7:35 pm

Jacula

Sorry feather!

7:35 pm

I was watching an episode of a hospital programme on TV the other day where a woman wearing a rubber nurse's outfit (the outfit was rubber, not the outfit belonging to a nurse made of rubber) was brought in. The hospital nurses were all uppity about it at first. Changed their minds later and decided to buy some for themselves.

Okay, feather. Ask away... not much spare time for you with a yong baby.

8:16 pm

8:20 pm

carleekat

Hello everyone!

hi scrabs

8:24 pm

Jacula

I've been using arnica cream on my toe, which is helping the bad bruise, but not the break.

8:24 pm

Jacula

Hi, Scrabbs.

8:24 pm

Scrabbler

Congrats Torgone! Great to see you again.

8:24 pm

redturtlehead

COngrats Torgone. Helo Scrabbler, how is the weather?

8:24 pm

Scrabbler

Jacula--you broke your toe?

8:25 pm

Jacula

Scrabbs - did you notice he entered the chat at one of his pertinent points again? LOL

8:25 pm

Scrabbler

10 degrees F and snowing--my driveway got plowed out again today.

8:25 pm

renfield

8:25 pm

Jacula

Scrabbs - Seems so. I stubbed it on a cast iron scarab beetle.

8:25 pm

redturtlehead

I think Scrabbler you are going to break very even on the flat fee plowing.

8:25 pm

loredana

hiv e

8:26 pm

Jacula

It's badly bruised, Scrabbs, but also broken methinks. I say this from 2 previous toe break experiences.

8:26 pm

Scrabbler

Damn cast iron scarab beetles---always getting in the way aren't they?

8:26 pm

Whoo Hoo, will be going Florida Job shopping in a moment. Thanks for the help all.

8:28 pm

Jacula

The trouble with any kind of dandelion le4, Scrabbs, is that it's a diuretic. But both bunnies and guinea pigs do love them.

8:28 pm

Jacula

Well done, red.

Scrabs--did you see that play in yesterday's game?

8:36 pm

Scrabbler

I forgot that the game was on so I was here goofing off. But I saw pics on the web and our morning paper had lots of pics. Richard was in good hands--I know the 2 docs that attended to him at the arena.

8:36 pm

Jacula

pam- is that Babble, football or baseball?

8:37 pm

pam

LOL, hockey, jac. A player had his carotid artery severed by a skate

8:37 pm

pam

You know the docs? Cool!

8:37 pm

Jacula

Oh, Jeez! OUCH!

8:38 pm

pam

He seemed very strong, and quick-thinking...

8:38 pm

Jacula

Did he survive?

8:38 pm

hackerly

that is awful! My BF should have been there... he repairs stab wounds and gun shots everyday!

8:38 pm

pam

yes, he is in stable condition.

8:39 pm

Jacula

That must've been one hell of a swing the other player took.

8:39 pm

Scrabbler

The internist trained with me during residency--he is dual board certified in internal med-pediatrics.

8:39 pm

Jacula

Glad to hear the other player has survived.

8:39 pm

rururocks

I heard he was feeling a bit "pucky"

8:39 pm

hackerly

seriously

8:40 pm

Jacula

I'm not sure whether to laugh or not, ruru.

8:40 pm

pam

It was an accident, by his own teammate.

8:40 pm

Scrabbler

The injury was terrifying--it could have severed his trachea--->blood into airway---> even worse.

8:40 pm

pam

Don't you mean puckish, ruru? LOL

8:40 pm

rururocks

Bet it will be a while before he shaves...

8:40 pm

doxy1lover

I read that it barely missed his jugular

8:40 pm

rururocks

that is scary though

8:40 pm

pam

It was unbelievable, scrabs...

8:40 pm

hackerly

what team was this?

8:41 pm

Jacula

Well, Scrabbs - even 'simple' severing of the carotid artery is damned serious, as you know.

8:41 pm

rururocks

The Remington Razors

8:41 pm

pam

panthers..

8:41 pm

pam

Florida Panthers

8:41 pm

rururocks

sorry feeling a bit silly today

8:42 pm

Jacula

He might shave his face but not his neck for quite a while, I imagine.

8:42 pm

pam

I agree, ruru-very scary...

8:42 pm

rururocks

I bet he won't be able to get near a razor.. I wouldn't

8:42 pm

hackerly

I am going to ask John about that! I have no idea what a carotid artery is.... that just sounds so painful

8:43 pm

pam

brings blood to the brain, hack...

8:43 pm

rururocks

It is the main blood flow artery to the brain

8:43 pm

8:46 pm

doxy1lover

thanks jac

8:47 pm

rururocks

Laura is pretty classy.. how could she be married to such a doofus though...

8:47 pm

Jacula

hackerty - there seems to be some weird thing about certain women being attracted to men 'with power'.

8:47 pm

hackerly

that is what I think too

8:47 pm

weegee

but he was a doofus in college!!

8:48 pm

hackerly

Hey Jac... i think its $$

8:48 pm

rururocks

I heard that they are planning the George Bush Presidential Library.. it already has two copies of "Cat in the Hat"

8:48 pm

weegee

by his own account, as well as that of others

8:48 pm

hackerly

Hey now... don't insult the Suess!

8:49 pm

Jacula

ruru - would that include spelling books, too? What word was it he tried to tell a far more intelligent child how to spell?

8:49 pm

pam

a doofus who was his dad's legacy...

8:49 pm

Jacula

My thoughts entirely, pam.

8:49 pm

rururocks

I don't remember ... it was hysterical though

8:50 pm

hackerly

his Dad was not all that great either...

8:50 pm

pam

I think his library should have a copy of the bill of rights, with them all marked as to his blatant disregard for them

8:50 pm

rururocks

You do have to hand it to him.. though.. he got his Mom on the $1.00 BILL...

8:50 pm

hackerly

he puked on the Japanese president

8:50 pm

rururocks

RIGHT ON! PAMMO!

8:50 pm

hahah

8:50 pm

AsGreen

hi all - popping in to see if anyone needs any clues

8:51 pm

Jacula

We've got a programme on TV, though I admit I've not yet watched it, called 'Are You Smarter Than A 10-year-old?' I think Mr. Bush jnr. should go on the celebrity version of that.

8:51 pm

rururocks

LOL

8:51 pm

pam

was the spelling Quayle and "potato?"

8:51 pm

AsGreen

ooooh, are we Bush-bashing? Count me IN!!

8:51 pm

hey, green! just what I did, about 10 minutes ago :D
but with jac here, we're probably both redundant :)

8:51 pm

pam

hi, asg

8:51 pm

hackerly

We have a version of that show called "are you smarted then a fifth grader"

8:51 pm

AsGreen

Jac - we've got "are you smarter than a 5th grader"

8:52 pm

AsGreen

hi Pam and Tyger

8:52 pm

hackerly

I have never watched it... but my bosses neighbor is Jeff Foxworthy when he is here in Atlanta

8:52 pm

Jacula

asgreen - that's the same thing, I think.

8:52 pm

rururocks

I was watching his recent speech and had to pinch myself that we had a leader of this country be so GD dumb

8:52 pm

I just took the Dr. Oz "Real Age" quiz.....patiently awaiting my results.....

Scrabbler

I was at youtube.com seeing video of the hockey incident of last night---scary!

8:54 pm

Jacula

At least, ruru, the only ar** your president licks is his father's. Our recently retired PM was a total slut in those stakes. I still have to make judgement on the new one, since he's not of the party I support anyhow.

8:54 pm

Kazozz

8:56 pm

8:56 pm

Skate to neck---severed carotid artery---happened here in Buffalo last night to a Florida Panther player. The guy is OK!

9:05 pm

Scrabbler

Bedtime for Scrabbler! But I need to relax after a non-stop day of chaos at the office, including a nasty mother near the end of the evening that wanted an antibiotic prescription for her daughter that started with a cold on Thursday. When I declared the verdict ( a cold) the mother stood up and said, "Well, I guess we'll just be back in 2 days then." She walked right out in a huff.

9:07 pm

Jacula

tyger - Mary is a long-term patient and friend of Scrabbs. She has a young famil and a new baby, and cancer.

9:07 pm

tygerbryght

reminds me, how is Mary, now youve reminded me

9:08 pm

tygerbryght

I've been praying for her

9:08 pm

Scrabbler

I know that parents want their kids to get better, but to believe that antibiotics are the answer for all ills is what is bothersome.

9:08 pm

AsGreen

that's so sad - I hate hearing that (about Mary)....sorry Scrabs!

9:08 pm

tygerbryght

I just wasn't connecting her with this idiot mom

9:08 pm

AsGreen

Jac - I still didn't get your truthful comment - did you mean on the quiz?

9:09 pm

Jacula

Oh, I understand that, Scrabbs. I still think... though.

9:09 pm

Scrabbler

Mary went to Duke Univ Thurs and Fri, returned home Fri night for the first time since Nov 23rd and got readmitted to the hospital Sat AM.

9:09 pm

I did mea on the quiz, asgreen.

I just heard about it - I was curious....(thought it was new actually)....anyway, I do need to eat healthier and take vitamins (which I don't) - I DO abide by the glass of daily wine though :)

Hugs to Scrabs!!!!

Scrabbler

Many moms would say, "Thank, God, I am so glad it's just a virus. I hate antibiotics."

9:13 pm

Jacula

As a mother, I know how a mother can be construed as a mad momma by health workers.

9:13 pm

Jellen

((((Scrabbler))))

9:13 pm

tygerbryght

pam, too many people simply believe that antibiotics will cure anything. as one who studied microbiology for 4 years, I can tell you: It ain't so!

9:13 pm

pam

((((((( scrabs))))))

9:13 pm

Jacula

But, when a mother's had to have her own child ceritfied to save her life...

9:14 pm

Scrabbler

Mad Mommas are a subset---most parents are reasonable and want to learn.

9:14 pm

pam

I think that you are right, tyger. But now we have to get the information out thee...

9:14 pm

Jellen

Hi, all. Eating my dinner and lurking.

9:14 pm

Jacula

...and she knows full well she may have to do it again one day, when she is older and maybe less able...

9:14 pm

tygerbryght

lotta folks just don't want to hear it, tho, pam :( :(

9:14 pm

pam

I am sure, jac. But my mom was mad--damn near killed all of us--and no one certified her. .. s

9:14 pm

tygerbryght

hey, jellen

9:15 pm

Jacula

pam - It's not easy to get someone cetified.

9:15 pm

pam

It 's had all around, jac--lots of stereotypes, little info.

9:15 pm

Jacula

ceRtified.

9:15 pm

AsGreen

hi Jellen

9:15 pm

weegee

hi jellen

9:15 pm

Scrabbler

We call it a "2 PC" admission here, when 2 physicians certify that a patient is in danger and must be admitted for a minimum 72 hour evaluation.

9:16 pm

pam

I know, jac. Made it my buisiness to find out--so no one else would go through what I have gone through. And, have seen it done at work, more than once. Trust me, I am not saying any of this lightly

9:16 pm

Jacula

It needs 3 doctors here in UK, Scrabbs.

9:17 pm

AsGreen

ok all - I'm done for the day- hugs to Scrabs and anyone else who needs it! See y'all tomorrow!

9:17 pm

Jacula

pam - I think I 'know' you now, and so didn't even imagine your comments were made lightly.

9:17 pm

pam

by the sam token, I can also appreciate that scrabs get hollered at by anxious parents all of the time, parents whose anxiety may, just may, get in the way of hearing what the doc is saying. Pills are easier than dealing with the cold... easier, but not effective and over the long term, not good at all...

9:17 pm

pam

thanks, jac...

9:17 pm

tygerbryght

with all the other cluers available, I think I'll go back to watching the eBay Item I'm hoping to win in 15 min or so :)

9:19 pm

weegee

Are you here on your own or as a team?

9:19 pm

pam

Hi, TnC!

9:19 pm

LadyNatts

I think I'm headed for divorce.

9:19 pm

TeaNCrackers

just me.

9:19 pm

TeaNCrackers

I'm sorry, Lady

9:20 pm

weegee

sorry to hear that Lady, unless YOU think it's good thing of course

9:20 pm

Jacula

Erm, hello, LadyNatt. Why is that? Babble addiction?

9:20 pm

LadyNatts

If it were only that, Jac. Damn man drives me crazy... he's worse than a child!

9:20 pm

gbuphallow

hey, anyone have a clue for ma 6.27?

9:20 pm

Jacula

Better get cracking then, Tea! It's a 30-min grid, tops.

9:21 pm

Jacula

Lady - all men are children.

9:21 pm

LadyNatts

ma... a weird spelling of disorderliness

9:21 pm

gbuphallow

got it. thanks!

9:22 pm

LadyNatts

Seriously, I was "too long" visiting my brother in hospital, and he got hungry and cranky (couldn't be bothered to fix himself something to eat, now, could he?)

9:22 pm

TeaNCrackers

thanks, Lady

9:22 pm

LadyNatts

Welcome.

9:22 pm

Jacula

Lady - that's a serious case of selfishness.

9:23 pm

pam

what does the begin with?

9:23 pm

hurshy

i cannot believe this.

9:23 pm

weegee

my, how old is this cranky baby?

9:23 pm

pam

what does the 7 begin with, please?

9:23 pm

pam

what does the 7 begin with, please?

9:23 pm

pam

hi, hursh!

9:23 pm

weegee

hi hursh

9:23 pm

LadyNatts

Yes. That's what I'm saying... When I got home, I put the water to boil for some linguine... "I don't want to eat now, I'm going to sleep."

9:24 pm

hurshy

all this woman had to do was kiss a frog and she would get $532,000. and she didn't do it. no deal, she says.

9:24 pm

Jellen

wh, pam

9:24 pm

pam

sorry about the hiccoughs...

9:24 pm

Jacula

It's time that cranky baby woke up to the world around HIM and HIS 'needs'.

9:24 pm

hurshy

it's like, half a second of your life. just kiss the frog. unbelievable.

9:24 pm

LadyNatts

He is 52.

9:24 pm

weegee

how does howie get his old bald head to shine so? baby oil?

9:24 pm

TeaNCrackers

oh crikes, I'd kiss a frog for that!

9:25 pm

Jacula

Well,, Lady, at that age it's time he woke up to reality.

9:25 pm

weegee

oh lady, he deserves a cream pie in the face!

9:25 pm

LadyNatts

I've kissed a frog for nothing! (I was a kid, and I was quite fond of frogs)

9:25 pm

pam

hi, and thanks, jellen--I will go a-hunting...

9:25 pm

LadyNatts

I know. I'm so angry with him right now.

9:26 pm

pam

got it, thanks, jellen

9:26 pm

Jellen

You're good, pam!

9:26 pm

Jacula

Kissing frogsis overrated! Not all princes are handsome. Try kissing the guy with the sexy eyes/butt, whatever, instead!

9:26 pm

EspritdJean

I have two he6, clue for the third he and hi everybody

9:27 pm

Jacula

Try kissing the guy who makes you laugh out loud!

9:27 pm

hurshy

but it wasn't for a prince. it was for $532,000. cold hard cash. and now she ended up with $166,000.

9:27 pm

LadyNatts

I see only 2 he6's, esprit

9:27 pm

hurshy

i mean that's fine and all but, for cryin out loud.

9:27 pm

weegee

bees live in hi

9:27 pm

EspritdJean

I meant the 3d 6 ltr wd

9:28 pm

EspritdJean

sorry, jetlagged

9:28 pm

LadyNatts

ah

9:28 pm

Jacula

It's only money, hursh, but not to be sneezed at.

9:28 pm

Jellen

ma6= murder and ma****, spelled funny.

9:29 pm

EspritdJean

ty jellen

9:29 pm

Jacula

I've lost track of what clues are needed and who is asking.

9:29 pm

EspritdJean

stoopid word

9:30 pm

Jellen

We're all caught up, I think, Jac.

9:30 pm

LadyNatts

If you read about a homicide near Edmonton Alberta Canada, pray for a lenient judge...

9:31 pm

Jacula

Hmm, Jellen, but are we all caught up in a sexual, political are past memories web?

9:31 pm

Jellen

Sorry for your troubles, LadyNatts, but at least this is a good place to vent.

9:31 pm

LadyNatts

Now he wants me to cook the damned linguine so he can take it to work tomorrow!

9:31 pm

Jacula

Or past memories, I meant.

9:32 pm

Jellen

All of the above for me, Jac :-)

9:32 pm

LadyNatts

Yes, Jellen. Thank you all for that :)

9:33 pm

TeaNCrackers

ok, can I please, please,please get a clue on the fj word?

9:33 pm

Jellen

I'm juggling 7 flirtations on Facebook--unfortunately, all are long distance.

9:33 pm

TeaNCrackers

Lady, put it in his lunch box raw.

9:33 pm

pam

i am fading==tomorrow...

9:33 pm

Jacula

Sounds like a field, Tea. Scandanavian style.

9:34 pm

TeaNCrackers

awesome - thanks jac!

9:34 pm

LadyNatts

pretend that j is a vowel, and think of a f**** of daisies, tea

9:34 pm

Jacula

Jellen - you slut!

9:34 pm

Jellen

fj + She h*** her head up high

9:34 pm

Jacula

I don't do net flirtation.

9:35 pm

Jacula

I did that once or twice and met my Other Half. Not on a dating site, I might add.

9:35 pm

LadyNatts

go figure... that's how I meant my big cranky baby. (Internet)

9:35 pm

Jellen

Of course not, Jac, you are otherwise occupied.

9:35 pm

LadyNatts

met, I mean

9:36 pm

TeaNCrackers

Lady, my dad used to complain to my mom about the amount of mustard on his sandwiches in his lunch, she never made another lunch sandwich for him again!

9:36 pm

redturtlehead

Icon check...

9:36 pm

weegee

so, the man cannot boil water Lady?

9:37 pm

LadyNatts

not while he's snoring, I guess, weegee.

9:37 pm

Jacula

Tea - unless she'd eaten the sandwiches, or accidentally licked her finger after putting the mustard on.... then why? Unless it was hidden in his moustache and zapped her on the coming home kiss.

9:37 pm

weegee

hi red!

9:37 pm

Jellen

Hi, red!

9:37 pm

redturtlehead

I was thinking the other day that a good icon theme might be for us to "Take a Phantom from the Grid" but I couldnt get the email to babbler to work.

9:38 pm

TeaNCrackers

I think that it was after much complaining, or the manner in which he complained about the mustard

9:38 pm

redturtlehead

Hi all, I was changing ico for tomorro...now I am a vision of pink...

9:38 pm

LadyNatts

I sent a bunch of suggestions a week or more ago, but they haven't turned up yet, so I don't know if the e-mail worked.

9:38 pm

redturtlehead

well, tis not really important.

9:39 pm

Jacula

red - I sent Babbler a list of 24 themes to try out about 3 days ago. Not heard anything back yet.

9:39 pm

redturtlehead

My email was returned as undeliverable, so I suspect I typed something wrong, but, I like doing other peoples themes too!

9:40 pm

Jacula

I've taken lots of photos for the themes I suggested. LOL

9:40 pm

redturtlehead

*Wonders about the size of the grid for the flip*/

9:40 pm

TeaNCrackers

ma 5?

9:40 pm

Jacula

My e-mail was 'sent' and not returned. That doesn't mean she got it, though.

9:41 pm

Jacula

red - 152 words for the flip is my guess.

9:41 pm

Jellen

ma + la *** en rose, I think

9:41 pm

TeaNCrackers

9:41 pm

TeaNCrackers
