hillary

I hate the daylight savings, it can be 9 at night and still be 35 degrees here.

4:01 am

redturtlehead

Glad the stains came out...

4:01 am

redturtlehead

I thought we were the only country with the silly DST...

4:01 am

sprite

he had put the bag with the clothes on the floor of the car... which was a swimming pool. And then he did not tell me, but left it to dry for 2 weeks. I found out when he put then on last Sunday.

4:02 am

sprite

most of the world has it, red, I think. THough not the same everywhere.

4:02 am

redturtlehead

clue for the ah??

4:02 am

sprite

4:02 am

o-o

I don't mind the cold; it is the snow that accumulates on my hammock that is problematic

4:03 am

redturtlehead

Isuppose, sprite, but I guess since I have spent time only in very underdeveloped countries we never had DST, most peopledidnt have watches....

4:03 am

4:15 am

herinfernallady

Yah Hillary

4:15 am

lynxxx

Sprite - i just rang my friend with the car. His problem was a relay switch between the fuel and the gas. Might be worth asking your garage to check that, stranger coincidences have happened

4:16 am

lynxxx

Congrats Hilary!

4:16 am

sprite

indeed so, lynxxx, thank you very much for doing this for me! I will ask the garage to check for this. *hug*

4:17 am

redturtlehead

THe Starting over is fine,But the trying to get this specific job is stressful, there is a man involved, otherwise I would be just as happy to go to texas, or wherever. I always miss my house, but I settled for a year and the money was terrible, made it hard topay bills.

4:18 am

redturtlehead

the wierd thing is that pretty much every ER is the same the country over. Everyone thinks they work in a unique environment, but its always the same personality types over and over again.

4:18 am

herinfernallady

Red i thought you had a date with your master bedroom at the end of this term?

4:18 am

redturtlehead

I am going to Florida for Marathon man....

6:10 am

Eva

frozen here. Just figured out how to avoid paying for having the driveway sanded yet again, or at least postpone it, by leaving cars at the bottom of the driveway/hill and sprinkling ashes from the woodstove down there. The clamp the spikes to the bottom of our boots and slither down to the cars.

6:11 am

herinfernallady

Eva salt the drive

6:11 am

lynxxx

or buy a toboggin

6:11 am

pinkhatlil

pe's and po's are p***ing me off already

6:12 am

herinfernallady

or steal a slice tin from the kitchen

6:12 am

Eva

it would cost a fortune herin- and also don't want salt running into our gardens, etc. The sander is great, but we need a fuel delivery on Friday and if I have is sanded today and it snows between now and Friday then I have to have it done again

6:12 am

Eva

It does make an excellent luge run

6:12 am

Scrabbler

Ah, the challenges of winter, Eva.

Have you noticed how hungry the animals are this winter scrabbler? We have owls hunting during the day, and the deer are resorting to pawing the ground under the bird feeder, because the snow cover is so deep and heavy.

6:13 am

herinfernallady

Guess your stuck

6:14 am

herinfernallady

Carlee and UNI hello

6:16 am

LoriP

I'm just about gaga carlee. I've had it with winter, honest ta' god.

6:16 am

Eva

I feel so bad for the barred owl who is hanging around the house. Next time Merp leaves anything over from his hunting I think I'll put it out as an offering for her. But I don't know if they eat anything that isn't moving. I mean they're not normally carriou eaters are they?

6:17 am

GraceM

snap?

6:17 am

herinfernallady

Eva you could get some dead mice and warm them up to blood point for the Owl

6:17 am

Scrabbler

I am not sure about that, Eva, but it is worth a try.

6:17 am

carleekat

same here... but....the ground hog said early.....holding him to it

6:17 am

rolin

we asked the same thing at the same time

6:17 am

Eva

that was carrion, not carriou (a dead carribou?)

6:17 am

herinfernallady

Most Owls don't eat dead food but thats what we do with the snake

6:17 am

Scrabbler

LOL, imagining recently dead mice being heated in microwave oven

6:18 am

GraceM

ah, but I need the right hand R

6:18 am

carleekat

( i thought same thing scrabs )

6:18 am

herinfernallady

Scrabbler thats cooking them. You put them in blood temp warm water

6:18 am

herinfernallady

Then you get chopsticks and play chasie with the mouse around the tank so it looks like it was moving

6:19 am

carleekat

I am a little sl4 this am

6:19 am

lynxxx

lol Eva - I first thought that Merp was good taking down a carribou

6:19 am

Eva

I've thought of it herin.....I had a friend who was a falconer and he had a freezer full of mice, which he would thaw out on the kitchen counter. Then when I volunteered at the zoo the fridge was stocked with things like pinkies (frozen rat babies) . Sorry pink!

6:19 am

Scrabbler

If anyone enters the chat now they will wonder what is going on as we talk about heating up dead mice.

6:20 am

pinkhatlil

hello carlee, uni, rolin, and anyone else i've missed

6:20 am

Eva

they'll know us for who we truly are

6:20 am

herinfernallady

Eva you could try if the owl they will eat

6:21 am

lynxxx

Eva - your nearest zoo could probably give you a quick answer

6:21 am

herinfernallady

My old housemate had a snake we had miceicles and ratsciles

6:21 am

herinfernallady

Hi Jai

6:21 am

herinfernallady

Scarlet own a tarantular

6:21 am

Eva

she's a truly magnificent owl. She's watching the bird feeder, but what she's interested in is the rodents, because I think the chickadees are too quick for her, and since the last heavy snow I haven't seen many mice at the feeder.

6:21 am

pinkhatlil

what kind was it herin?

6:22 am

jaianniah

Hi all!

6:22 am

Eva. I heard a report on VPR this morning that the owls in Vermont and New Hampshire are starving for lack of food.

6:22 am

carleekat

i'm not having many words jump out this am....

6:23 am

Eva

The mice and squirrels used to have tunnels running from under some rocks to the tree with the feeder, so they were exposed to danger for the minimum amount of time, but their tunnels are all covered over now.

6:23 am

pinkhatlil

6:23 am

Scrabbler

7:24 am

Anniebrook

Hi Jean!

7:24 am

LoriP

We're just, you know, playing along with Scarlet, because we don't want her coming unhinged yet, as Dr Phil is busy with me right now.

7:24 am

EspritdJean

hya annieB

7:25 am

Scarlet

EJ, I have Dr. Stephen Hawking on the phone, and he concurs...

7:25 am

Scarlet

Yeah, righhhhhhhhhhtttttttt, Lor...is that what you call it in Nova Scotia?

7:25 am

Anniebrook

Ahem, Scarlet has had her hinges removed way back...

I absolutely love the way chat can flow. Amazing.

7:26 am

Scarlet

I am hinge-less....

7:26 am

Scarlet

With the right (?) people, Lori...

7:26 am

Anniebrook

Dr. Phil couldn't handle you two...you would make mincemeat out of the poor man

7:27 am

Scarlet

Yeah, especially if Lori goes first...there would be mere shreds of the man left for me....

7:27 am

EspritdJean

he's not a poor man by any means, he has exploited the dysfunctional to great profit

7:27 am

LoriP

Yes Scarlet, for sure. Dr Phil? We'd chew him up, and spit him out. He'd be the one having multiple breakdowns, houndd endlessly by opportunists....

7:27 am

EspritdJean

in case anyone is confused, I think he is a giant butthead

7:27 am

Anniebrook

and, Scarlet, you would fininsh him off

7:28 am

LoriP

And esprit sums it up succunctly and accurately. I concur.

7:28 am

LoriP

*succinctly even

7:28 am

Scarlet

Sure, EJ... but Annie is charged with sending him to Haz's Home for the Bewildered... Oh, Yes Annie! He would be balled up into a fetal position, sucking his thumb and humming Yankee Doodle!!

7:30 am

Anniebrook

and Our Friends on the Other Side of the Pond would know exactly how to handle the poor (Jean, you are right) exploiting fool

7:30 am

Scarlet

8:26 am

Haz1558

Did you notice something in Al Fayed's rant yesterday? He DIDN'T blame FM!

8:26 am

Scarlet

FM... you were on call for the toga and glass smashing and you failed your duty!

8:26 am

Vicuna

We saw a bellydancer once, and my husband observed "She looks like she's flowing upwards out of her skirt," which described it very aptly, I thought. A most curious effect.

8:26 am

FMitch

Happy Birthday Peri, Hello Haz, Vi, Ata, Aloy, carlee, Scarlet, Annie and everyone.

8:26 am

Angelsong

fireworks for today.

8:26 am

Frances

He blamed everyone else!

Good afternoon everyone.

8:26 am

Atalante

Al-Fayed is completely mad

8:26 am

Aloyisius

and hi to Vicuna too.. missed your entrance as I grabbed another cuppa

8:27 am

Vicuna

Birthday, Peri? Happy!

8:27 am

Scarlet

How thoughtless of him, Haz... is the rumor of the Late princess' pregnanacy also FM's fault?

8:27 am

Haz1558

Glass smashing? Was there a Health and Safety assessment carried beforehand?

8:27 am

Aloyisius

congrats Angelsong!!!!

8:27 am

carleekat

<PURPLE POMPOM TWIST> for angel

8:27 am

Scarlet

Yahoo for Angelsong!! @@@

8:27 am

Scarlet

Of course not, Haz...it is a dilly of a morning, and NO rules!

8:27 am

FMitch

Scarlet/Annie Im soo sorry, but there is nothing in my diary booking my services?

8:27 am

carleekat

Ouch..more creepy crawlies in the grid

8:28 am

Haz1558

No rules? How can this be?

8:28 am

Scarlet

It was a totally spontaneous party, FM... but yoru services were required!

8:28 am

FMitch

Good lord, now I know I can do a lot of things but pregnancy is one that I CAN'T be blamed for!!

8:28 am

Vicuna

Glass smashing can safely be done with cellulose vessels which dissolve in liquid.

8:28 am

Vicuna

Oh wait, then you can't drink from them.

8:28 am

Haz1558

Frances - hello to you - is the sun still shining?

Scarlet

Good morning Frances!! Welcome to the party!

Vicuna

EvaNadine

8:32 am

Scarlet

They are not latex, Haz...

8:32 am

FMitch

Ah (((peri))) Happy Birthday

8:32 am

Haz1558

And make sure the extinguishers are strategically placed.

8:33 am

Scarlet

Hi, Blur... the princess of the moment! Hi, Eva... grab a toga!

8:33 am

Haz1558

NOT that I mean peri has so many candles that a conflagration is inevitable.

8:33 am

Vicuna

Yay! Birthday girl!

Vicuna

And untie the bo4 on the presents...

8:38 am

Anniebrook

8:39 am

periwinkle

A chocolate cake would be nice

8:39 am

Vicuna

(Don't say I didn't wa4 you!)

8:39 am

Haz1558

Absolutely, Annie.

8:39 am

Atalante

8:39 am

Aloyisius

FMitch

Frances

8:40 am

I love balloons, I am a kid at heart

8:41 am

Frances

8:42 am

Anniebrook

FM, could you please email the recipe for the spice apple cake too? email address in profile....thanks!!!

8:42 am

Scarlet

Annie is the epitome of comportment...

8:42 am

Anniebrook

*sits straighter*

8:43 am

Scarlet

**Hands Annie the gold star for posture**

8:43 am

Anniebrook

*beaming*

8:43 am

FMitch

Sure no probs but in the mean time "Come and get it"

8:43 am

Scarlet

I had to borrow Atalante's award for a moment...

8:43 am

Aloyisius

Scarlet

**Sploooch***

8:43 am

periwinkle

I will have some champagne, thanks

8:44 am

AnnieOakley

Good afternoon all

8:44 am

periwinkle

and some ice cream to go with the chocolate cake, thanks

8:44 am

Aloyisius

Annie's mother used to make her walk around with a five pound bag of sugar on her head so that she would have the lovely posture she has now

8:44 am

Anniebrook

Wow, what a party...

8:44 am

Haz1558

Good afternoon AnnieO.

8:44 am

Frances

Cheers FM

8:44 am

Scarlet

Hi, AnnieO... welcome to the blast-off party for peri-s birthday...

8:44 am

Vicuna

Hello, AnnieO.

8:44 am

Aloyisius

Hi AnnieO

8:45 am

Haz1558

She had to abandon the five pound bag of sugar once she took up surveillance work, though.

8:45 am

Scarlet

No wonder she's so sweet, Aloy... she went walking in the rain once... LOL

8:45 am

FMitch

Frances do you want to put your email addy in your bio for me

8:45 am

Anniebrook

Aloy, you knew my mother?

8:45 am

AnnieOakley

It is definitely a fun party - I've brought some jelly

8:45 am

Aloyisius

LOL, Scarlet.. eww, sticky

8:45 am

Scarlet

RIght, Haz... and it slogs her down when she puts on her flying nun costume...

8:45 am

Vicuna

Sleuthing and comportment are occasionally incompatible.

8:45 am

Scarlet

LOL, Vi./..

8:46 am

Anniebrook

Vicuna is correct...flying with 5 pounds of sugar on my head is quite difficult

8:46 am

Haz1558

Absolutely Scarlet. You can't mix a wimple with a sack of sugar.

8:46 am

Frances

Done FM. Thank you.

8:46 am

FMitch

Annie no email in your profile !

8:46 am

Aloyisius

well, I remember when Queen Eliz. was crowned.. we watched and we so admired the Queen's stateliness.. anyway, my mother said the crown weighed five pounds and she related that to the bag of sugar

8:46 am

carleekat

pass me some champers pls...

8:47 am

dcseain

i think a spun-sugar wimple would be lovely, if delicate

8:47 am

Anniebrook

hi de

8:47 am

Vicuna

Not very austere, though, seain.

8:47 am

Anniebrook

*dc

8:47 am

FMitch

Got it thanks Frances

8:47 am

Haz1558

The queen still practises with the crown before the opening of Parliament to get used to it.

8:47 am

Scarlet

Haz, now there are words to guide one's life: Do not mix a wimpole with sugar. Heed it well, BabbleLand.

8:47 am

Vicuna

Downright frivolous, in fact.

8:47 am

Frances

Oh James Martin is very good with spun sugar.

8:47 am

dcseain

hello, all.

8:48 am

Anniebrook

FM, going to look at profile and insert email, I thought it was there

8:48 am

dcseain

hi, annie. how are you? Long time no see.

8:48 am

Haz1558

Yes, James could make a sugar nun's costume, no problem.

8:48 am

AnnieOakley

Yes, I agree Vic, and DC it wouldn't be good in the rain!

8:48 am

Haz1558

Hello dc!

8:48 am

dcseain

afternoon, haz!

8:48 am

Vicuna

That must be my problem. My crown weights only two pounds. that's why I lack the proper gravitas.

8:49 am

Haz1558

Get a few more diamonds and rubies on there, Vicuna. You deserve the best.

8:49 am

Atalante

you only have a crown worthy of 10 cent coins

8:49 am

Haz1558

Are you still taking the drugs like I told you, dc?

8:49 am

Aloyisius

yes, Vicuna.. your crown must be heftier

8:49 am

Frances

Vic you could always add some carrots in place of the carats to weigh it down a bit.

8:49 am

Scarlet

Hello, seain... how are you feeling now?

8:49 am

periwinkle

I share my birthday with Justine Bateman, Jeff Daniels and Margaux Hemingway

8:49 am

Haz1558

I wonder how much Jordan's wedding tiara weighed?

8:49 am

dcseain

indeed haz.

8:49 am

Scarlet

LOL, Frances...

8:50 am

FMitch

Proper Crowns have to be at least 12lb in weight

8:50 am

Vicuna

That must be it, Ata. If I rated the one dallar bill no doubt I'd have the five pound crown. Sigh.

8:50 am

Aloyisius

brb.. someone drank my coffee again!

8:50 am

AnnieOakley

I share mine with John McEnroe - that worries me

8:50 am

Haz1558

We care nothing for those other people, peri - it's YOUR day.

8:50 am

dcseain

only marginally better, scarlet.

8:50 am

periwinkle

:-)

8:50 am

Haz1558

Seriously FMitch? 12 pounds?

8:50 am

dcseain

i cancelled a lunch today, not going to class tonight, and i'll decide tonight if i'm going to be able to work tomorrow.

8:50 am

Haz1558

That's like carrying a three month old baby on your head.

8:51 am

periwinkle

what is wrong dc?

8:51 am

FMitch

Haven't you weighed your crown recently Haz

8:51 am

Vicuna

I like that idea, Frances! Carrots! And here's today's item of vegetable trivia: Did you know that in the court of Louis XVI the women wore wild carrot flowers (ie Queen Anne's Lace) in their hair?

8:51 am

Haz1558

That wouldn't be a good thing for Annie's surveillance work either.

8:51 am

Anniebrook

FM, email there now..and eagerly awaiting recipe, thanks so much

8:51 am

dcseain

i have Flu strain B, peri, one of 60% not covered in the vaccine this year, and i went to doc too late for tamilfu.

8:52 am

periwinkle

I am wearing my tiara with diamonds and amythysts since it is my BD today

8:52 am

Scarlet

You are wise to limit your activities then, seain... I am really sorry that you haven't turned the corner yet...

8:52 am

dcseain

we used to collect wild carrots and onions for cooking growing up. Took a while to learn which carrots were good for eating.

8:52 am

periwinkle

so sorry to hear that dc, hope you feel better soon

8:52 am

Vicuna

Poor sufferring seain.

8:52 am

Haz1558

So he's pumping himself full of drugs and hanging out with mad women.

8:52 am

FMitch

Annie when you put it in your bio did you click on the update profile bit?

8:52 am

Scarlet

Vi!@ Great piece of trivia!

8:52 am

dcseain

LOL

8:52 am

Anniebrook

Haz, that should cure him quickly or do him in

8:52 am

dcseain

i now have a coughing fit, ty, haz :D

8:53 am

Vicuna

I routinely carried my babies on my head, FM. Doesn't everyone? Of course now that they're 5 it's getting ungainly to carry them both at once...

8:53 am

Anniebrook

FM, I am totally computer illiterate...going back to profile

8:53 am

dcseain

oh, happy bday, peri :D

8:53 am

Frances

Don't make him laugh. Get well soon dc

8:53 am

Haz1558

But you haven't spilled coffee, have you, dc? I specialise in getting people to wreck keyboards and monitors by spraying coffee over them.

8:53 am

Scarlet

Oh, Ata... seain has kennel cough...

8:53 am

FMitch

We need a sign over the babble door - Enter at your own Peril, may be risk toyour sanity

8:53 am

periwinkle

thanks dc

8:53 am

AnnieOakley

Do u have whiplash Vic?

8:54 am

Vicuna

No, but my neck resembles a linebacker's.

8:54 am

dcseain

no open containers of liquid nearby at the moment, haz, maby an other time

8:54 am

Michnick

Hello everyone. Happy Bday Peri, Get well soon seain.

8:54 am

Scarlet

Hi, Mich!!

8:54 am

dcseain

8:54 am

Atalante

LMAO scarlet. have you had lots of strange dogs breathing on you recently, dc?

8:54 am

Scarlet

LOL... Vi... at least it is not steroid-inspired...

8:55 am

Vicuna

Hello, Michnick.

8:55 am

Michnick

Hi Scarlet. Oh, Seain, just went into your profile. T added to Hebrew wds make them feminine, plural is 'im' at the end.

8:55 am

dcseain

only Duke, with whom i have lived for a bit more than 2 years.

8:55 am

Michnick

Hi. Vic.

8:55 am

Scarlet

LOL, Ata... only the residual fumes from all the alcohol at this party...

8:55 am

Anniebrook

FM, I think I did it but, if not, my email address is astern@aol.com

8:55 am

dcseain

oh, right, michnick, been a while, ty

8:55 am

periwinkle

going to take a break to shower and get dressed for the day. hold off on the party til I get back, please

8:55 am

Vicuna

Never, Scarlet. I am clean as a whistle and my madness is entirely natural.

8:56 am

Michnick

You speak Hebrew Seain?

8:56 am

Vicuna

Hold off? Peri, it would be an insult to you to curtail the festivities while you're gone!

8:56 am

dcseain

fixed

8:56 am

FMitch

Yay yes you did Annie and now I have it.

8:56 am

Haz1558

Okay, peri. We'll be as serious as we can possibly be until you get back.

8:56 am

periwinkle

okay, bbs

8:56 am

dcseain

a tad, michnick, not much

8:56 am

Haz1558

(If we keep the noise down we can do some stealth partying and she'll be none the wiser)

8:57 am

Frances

Oh no we won't Haz.

8:57 am

FMitch

OK everyone just sit down and be quiet till peri gets back.....

Yea right, like thats going to happen!! PARTYYYYY!!

8:57 am

Haz1558

Not that this is a conspiracy or anything.

8:57 am

Vicuna

Okay. everyone take off your sugar bag hats for better stealth.

8:57 am

Haz1558

But - what about our posture?

8:57 am

Atalante

put on the tin foil hats then peri won't sense the partying

8:58 am

Haz1558

We'll never get up to Annie's posture standards if we take off our sugar bags.

8:58 am

Michnick

Whoever has the apple spice cake recipe, I'd love a copy. I may just make it tonight.

8:58 am

Scarlet

Yeah, riggghhhhhhtttttt FM... I just hired a mirimba band after the zydeco dies down...

8:58 am

Vicuna

Yay! How about tinfoil sugar bags?!

8:58 am

Haz1558

Can I keep my sugar bag on and put the tinfoil hat over it?

8:58 am

Haz1558

Or would that look strange?

8:58 am

Scarlet

I am wearing my jordanesque cheapsuit of tinfoil... so there! Bleah!

8:59 am

Atalante

dont see why not

8:59 am

Michnick

Hey if you guys are really going to party hardy, keep it down, my kiddies are home.

8:59 am

FMitch

8:59 am

dcseain

i buy sugar in resealable plastic bags - keeps the ants out when they're active.

8:59 am

AnnieOakley

my head's hurting...can I take mine off?

8:59 am

Haz1558

Tut tut, Scarlet. How can you put Jordan and cheap together in one sentence?

8:59 am

Scarlet

I do the same thing, Seain... Dixie Crystals...

8:59 am

Frances

Your head Annie?

8:59 am

Scarlet

I am such a low-life, Haz... mea culpa...

8:59 am

Haz1558

(AnnieO is a fader)

9:00 am

Atalante

she spends a fortune to look that cheap!

9:00 am

FMitch

Hey hey hey no J words round here we have a certain level of decorum to try and attain

9:00 am

dcseain

Harris Teeter used to sell Dixie Crystals up here, but no more. Domino, Domino, or store brand.

9:01 am

dcseain

Anniebrook

dc, i do hope you feel better soon

9:04 am

Frances

Am I missing something Haz? I can't find an fa7/36

9:05 am

Haz1558

Luckily we don't offend easily, Annie. (Mark ANnieO as a trouble-maker)

9:05 am

Anniebrook

another Annie, welcome to babbleland!

9:05 am

Scarlet

LOL, Annie... I see giant honeybees hovering over you hovering.

9:05 am

Haz1558

Sorry - fa7/56 - those who fa4/11

9:05 am

Aloyisius

9:05 am

Vicuna

Oh splendid, Haz! Thanks!

9:05 am

Michnick

Frances it's f+the thing that overhans a store entrance or a balcony

9:05 am

AnnieOakley

thank u Annie, I'm worried about the bees Scarlet.

9:06 am

Anniebrook

*puts asterisk next to annieoakley's name* does she take steroids? hmmm

9:06 am

Haz1558

You're welcome - and there are palm-wavers as well, fa7/40.

9:06 am

Scarlet

"Mad" she says... haven't you gone down the rabbithole with the rest of us, AnnieO? LOL

9:06 am

dcseain

op5 cake would be a happy. so tired of being in the house.

9:06 am

AnnieOakley

I'm laughing so loudly, I've tears in my eyes (and it was my birthday 3 days ago!)

9:06 am

Scarlet

I am just a mere wrist-twister, Haz... learned it from Her Majesty...

9:06 am

Aloyisius

oops, scratch that.. sorry.. won't do.. hunting

9:08 am

Haz1558

And the neighbours, Annie, can they hear you laughing?

9:08 am

Haz1558

Have you had any concerned looks or men in white coats hanging round the neighbourhood?

9:08 am

carleekat

re7 anyone?

9:08 am

Scarlet

Well, belated Happy Birthday, AnnieO... and party hearty!! Mimosa? Aspirin?

9:09 am

Anniebrook

carlee, to map again?

9:09 am

dcseain

ooooh, mimonsas and aspriin :)

9:09 am

Haz1558

If so, a tinfoil hat is a good investment. Uniquity makes them and we all wear them, with or without sugar depending on our posture requirements.

9:09 am

Haz1558

re7 - re plus a map or what the doctor writes his notes on

9:10 am

Aloyisius

ahh, found the booger fo7: ends with *** of the day to you!

9:10 am

Vicuna

Just don't get one of the tin foil hats made by Ata. Hers are doctored to allow her more easily to take over the world with her droid army.

9:10 am

carleekat

thanks..there... am done...

9:10 am

AnnieOakley

Thank u Scarlet. Haz - can't u hear me...but there are some men outside in whitecoats...can't understand it...blue lights flashing too...

9:10 am

Haz1558

You mean Ata is part of a conspiracy?

9:10 am

Anniebrook

yay for carleee!!!!!!!

9:10 am

dcseain

Congrats, carlee!!

9:11 am

Haz1558

Just hide, Annie. It's the men from the Home for the Bewildered. They'll run out of patience and go away.

9:11 am

Vicuna

No. No conspiracy. She's in this plot all by herself.

9:11 am

Haz1558

Congratulations carlee!

9:11 am

Scarlet

Yipeety Yay for Kattie!! **Pom-Poms and more Mimosas to Canadian beauty!!**

9:11 am

9:11 am

Vicuna

Yay for carleekat!

9:11 am

AnnieOakley

Behind a chair now, head down... WELL DONE CARLEE

9:12 am

Haz1558

But where's the fun in being in a conspiracy by yourself? You need government ministers and ambulance drivers and judges in your pay to have any chance of success.

9:12 am

Vicuna

Hobbit is her secret weapon with her mesmerizing eye rays.

9:12 am

Aloyisius

dipping another mini wheat...

9:12 am

carleekat

9:12 am

Haz1558

Good girl, Annie. You learn quickly.

9:12 am

Vicuna

Look, Haz, I never said Ata was being rational about this!

9:12 am

Haz1558

(Remove the troublemaker label from AnnieO. She's one of us)

9:12 am

Scarlet

Kattie, it means nothing... just seeing you is the important thing... and you are baking again... good signs...

9:13 am

carleekat

ok..so...*** tossing purple confetti*** then off to get some work done..will be back about noon babble time to clue

9:13 am

AnnieOakley

Haz1558

re7 comes from that r.

9:15 am

AnnieOakley

But otherwise behind a chair still

9:15 am

FMitch

is that a trick question Ata?

9:16 am

Scarlet

**Snagging sodden Mini-Wheats from Aloy**

9:16 am

Atalante

its an interesting philosophical something

9:16 am

Haz1558

Oh dear. Ata has gone all philos phillosof questioning of life again.

9:16 am

Haz1558

So glad Scarlet wrote snagging....

9:16 am

Scarlet

Then YOU did it, AnnieO... FM is totally exonerated... finally... Free at last FMitch!!

9:16 am

Scarlet

LOL... Haz... sore stomach from laughingl...

9:16 am

Aloyisius

the O word from the right is a babblet, me thinks... it means "ox"

9:17 am

Atalante

as if. lol

9:17 am

Aloyisius

see, Scarlet? not bad at all... mini wheatols!

9:18 am

Anniebrook

9:18 am

nDanLia

9:18 am

AnnieOakley

R u sure..have they gone?

9:18 am

nDanLia

port

9:19 am

Haz1558

I thought the tinfoil hats were modern but what do I know?

9:19 am

Scarlet

Please see Haz's very subtle humor on that subject... I am still laughing...

9:19 am

nDanLia

ugh, rotten old mouse...pb

9:19 am

Atalante

whereabouts in the UK, AnnieO?

9:19 am

Haz1558

Gosh, am I joining Ata in the philosa philosif... questioning of life?

9:19 am

FMitch

9:19 am

AnnieOakley

Kent..the garden of England...or so they say...

Anniebrook

9:20 am

Atalante

oooo. whereabouts in Kent?

9:20 am

Vicuna

Tin foil hats have been known from the earliest days of human civilization (at least since the discovery of tin).

9:20 am

Atalante

dont go near philosofy. its dangerous

9:20 am

Scarlet

AnnieO... follow the Yellow Brick Road to FM's kitchen... you will see giant mushrooms with the sign "Eat Me"....

9:20 am

AnnieOakley

9:22 am

FMitch

thank you Haz
Frances will email you and Annie now.

9:22 am

nDanLia

yes, but warding off the evil x-rays of alien invaders & governments was big in the '50s; Foley from Artemis Fowl series is big on them

9:22 am

AnnieOakley

Oh, I'm not stupid, I thought u were joking wwith the Canadian flag

9:22 am

periwinkle

have you really?

9:22 am

9:23 am

nancethefan

9:23 am

nancethefan

9:24 am

nDanLia

hadn't seem them mentioned elsewhere until chipotles game to town [offered free burrito on halloween for anyone with tinfoil on] & then here...

9:24 am

Haz1558

Does peri have enough room for another silly hat? She's already got a five pound bag of sugar and a tinfoil hat there. Or she should have if she's taking her posture seriously.

9:24 am

periwinkle

thanks for the silly hat, Krista

9:24 am

Haz1558

Hello Krista, by the way.

9:25 am

periwinkle

I always take my posture seriously, Haz

9:25 am

Aloyisius

9:25 am

nancethefan

9:25 am

Scarlet

Read Wikipedia's article on tinfoil hats for all you might wish to know about them.

9:25 am

Scarlet

Hi nance. **Doing the nance-dance**

9:25 am

Babs1

Happy Birthday--Go Peri!

9:25 am

Krista

YVW (it's my icon, btw)...hey all..beautiful sunny morning here

9:25 am

Haz1558

And so you should peri. Next year YOU may win the gold award for posture.

9:25 am

Anniebrook

FM, have you sent the recipe? I checked and see no one from Babbleland

9:25 am

AnnieOakley

does the hat look like a mushroom? Peri likes mushrooms

9:26 am

Vicuna

But don't believe any of it -- Wikipedia is part of the conspiracy!

9:26 am

Babs1

any clues for the g words? I have one 4/6...

9:26 am

Haz1558

I don't know - mushrooms are so last year.

9:26 am

Scarlet

Hi, Babs!!

9:26 am

AnnieOakley

Is that the Al Fayed conspiracy???!!!

9:26 am

Scarlet

What is the thrill du jour now, Haz?

9:26 am

nDanLia

happy bithday peri

9:26 am

Haz1558

ge5 and ge6 - French word for type as in film or book

9:27 am

Aloyisius

what ge**** of music do you like, Babs?

9:27 am

Haz1558

Oh, conical hats in honour of Bejing's hosting of the Olympics.

9:27 am

Krista

Babs! I lost the paper with the name of that art therapy book on it. May I have it again, please?

9:27 am

Babs1

thanks, aloy...that qualifies as a fish for me!

9:27 am

Haz1558

Another ge5 changes the vowel on the end of the 'type' word

9:27 am

Scarlet

Ack... don't remind me... the pollution alone will kill all our best athletes...

9:28 am

Aloyisius

whacks Bab gently with a guppy

9:28 am

Babs1

Krista...let me go look...was looking for the book the other day and have hidden it somehow!

9:28 am

Scarlet

Aloy... always so gentle... always!

9:28 am

Vicuna

Aloy! *shocked* There will be no guppy-whacking here! We are a family-friendly site!

9:28 am

Aloyisius

tuff to grasp a guppy though

9:29 am

Anniebrook

aloy, then use a halibut

9:29 am

Babs1

oh just let 'er rip, aloy...don't know about these French words though...hmm...

9:29 am

Aloyisius

well, Vi... Babs asked for it!

9:30 am

Aloyisius

i'm switching to wet noodles

9:30 am

Haz1558

First three letters of an army title, first two letters of the colour that scarlet is a variety of.

9:30 am

Vicuna

Babs! *shocked* There will be no guppy-whacking here! We are a family-friendly site!

9:30 am

Krista

don't go to any trouble, Babs..it can wait..I know it had the word passion in it, and the authors names started with 'c'..thought I could find it with that info, but nope

9:30 am

Haz1558

Vicuna is easily shocked, isn't she?

9:30 am

dcseain

indeed, haz

9:31 am

nancethefan

why under the tile stats r there multiple listings of the same letter such as O?

9:31 am

Vicuna

Haz! *shocked* How could you accuse me of sucha thing?

9:31 am

dcseain

though we do usually pass the fish and allow people to wack themselves.

9:31 am

Haz1558

It's because I'm so MEAN, Vicuna!

9:31 am

dcseain

nance, words are formed from the upper-rightmost tile they can start from

9:31 am

dcseain

upper-leftmost rather

9:31 am

Atalante

because there are multiple Os in the grid

9:31 am

Vicuna

Oh, is that it, Haz?

9:31 am

Scarlet

I am shocked that anyone here could be shocked.

9:32 am

Aloyisius

the tile stats correspond to the grid, nance.. if there are three o's in the grid, there will be 3 O listings in the stats

9:32 am

Krista

seems like someone else is always doing it for me, Seain...saw you in the grid yesterday, btw

9:32 am

AnnieOakley

it's all shocking to me

9:32 am

nancethefan

ok thx all of u

9:32 am

dcseain

hi, krista

9:32 am

Anniebrook

Hazel is the Chief of Police...she will decide upon the degree of whacking or lack thereof

9:32 am

pablo blanco

any help with the b's?

9:32 am

Haz1558

I know, it's not as if Vicuna hasn't been babbling for a while. You'd think she's have learned.

9:32 am

Vicuna

One of the downsides of these metal hats is that they do carry a charge a little too easily.

9:32 am

dcseain

AnnieO, wherebouts are you, if i may ask?

9:32 am

Haz1558

Exactly Annie. WHACK AWAY!

9:32 am

Krista

hey ya..sorry you are still feeling poorly

9:33 am

Scarlet

Well, AnnieO... get your act together, gird your body with saran wrap, and lard in a goodly supply of tinfoil couture..

9:33 am

pablo blanco

I only need one. i have 2 4s and a 5

9:33 am

AnnieOakley

UK - Kent.

9:33 am

AnnieOakley

Haz - did u send the whitecoats to me?

9:33 am

Haz1558

Dear goodness. I just had a flashback to Timmy Mallet shouting 'Whackaday!'. I think I need to lie down.

9:33 am

Frances

Thank you FM. Got the recipe. I cook with gas too.

9:34 am

AnnieOakley

What behind the chair Scarlet?

9:34 am

Babs1

You guys have been partying too much! Can hardly keep up with you...and still working on the g words and finding the book for Krista!

9:34 am

Haz1558

No, Annie. As Chief of Police my powers are limited. Caitlyn is the first aid person. Or you could just blame FM. Everyone else does.

9:34 am

Scarlet

NO Chairs! NO hiding! Take it like a Babbler, AnnieO...

9:34 am

Aloyisius

if you put an L in the front of the babblet that means ox, you get lo5.18 and that means "loose"... h'mm

9:35 am

FMitch

Yay Frances,That was quick :)

9:35 am

AnnieOakley

Did you send the whitecoats FM?

9:35 am

Scarlet

Babs... you're actually doing the grid? What a concept...

9:35 am

Anniebrook

going to look for recipe again

9:35 am

Krista

Peri, do you have special birthday plans (other than the wonderful festivities, here, obviously)?

9:35 am

periwinkle

I forget which babblet means ox :(

9:36 am

Babs1

what grid, scarlet? rofl

9:36 am

nancethefan

lol krista

9:36 am

FMitch

*quietly rolls up in pile of while coats huming Wackaday and hopes no-one notices*

9:36 am

Vicuna

Peri, if it started with d it would mean finding water witha stick.

9:36 am

AnnieOakley

I've girded my body with saran wrap, and larded it in a goodly supply of tinfoil couture..what now? It hasn't helped me find words?

9:36 am

periwinkle

my sister is taking me to lunch today and one of my nieces is taking me out to lunch on Sat

9:36 am

Babs1

Krista!! Life, Paint and Passion by Michell Cassou and Stewart Cubley...rescued from the car...

9:36 am

Aloyisius

ow4.8 means ox, Peri

9:36 am

Babs1

I forgot what a bablet was...uh oh.

9:37 am

AnnieOakley

FM - can u send them away pleeeeez?

9:37 am

periwinkle

ok, thanks Vicuna, have that, didn't know the meaning of the ow8 though

9:37 am

Vicuna

Wait a second! Those weren't REAL white-coat people frightening AnnieO. They were FM and her minions in disguise! Oh what a cruel joke, FM!

9:37 am

AnnieOakley

So I really CAN come out?

9:37 am

Krista

Thanks so much for the trouble, Babs! I appreciate it.....sounds lovely, Peri..I like when birthdays get spread out a bit

9:37 am

Aloyisius

a babblet is a weirdo word that becomes familiar because it appears often in the grid, Babs... so you learn to recognize it..

9:37 am

dcseain

always, annieo!

9:37 am

Scarlet

They've alll run for their lives from my home, Vicuna... exhausted from my slapdown with Doctor Phil...

9:38 am

9:38 am

FMitch

*Haz, Haz where are you .. help me ... come and rescue me.... where are my pretty pink pills?*

9:38 am

Vicuna

Sure, come on out and dance on the lawn in your tinfoil and saran wrap! No one will raise an eyebrow!

9:38 am

AnnieOakley

phew...thank u DC

9:38 am

9:38 am

AnnieOakley

I'm in the garden now Vic, but the neighbours are laughing at me...

9:39 am

Haz1558

Sorry. I was letting the grid interfere with the party.

9:39 am

periwinkle

you must have a fever, dc

9:39 am

dcseain

yes, saw my typo, decided it wasn't worth fixing :)

9:39 am

periwinkle

do most people make martinis with gin or vodka these days?

9:39 am

Vicuna

Just your imagination, AnnieO. Pull that tin foil hat down low and ignore them.

9:39 am

dcseain

today, no, just medicinal haze, which is nearly is good

9:39 am

Babs1

thanks aloy!

9:39 am

Scarlet

Haz... that is so unlike you...

9:40 am

Aloyisius

peri, I think your name should have been in the grid today, I mean, you appear in the grid lots of times and today is your special day...

9:40 am

periwinkle

I think so too, Aloy

9:40 am

Haz1558

I know. I'm deeply ashamed.

9:40 am

FMitch

dc - would that be a purple haze???

9:40 am

periwinkle

close but no cigar, Aloy

9:40 am

dcseain

peri, most use vodka. i prefer gin myself.

9:40 am

Haz1558

In my defence I did find two words.

9:41 am

Scarlet

LOL... FM... A Jimy reference... I love it!!

9:41 am

periwinkle

well, I don't have either here, just wondering what to buy at the wine and spirits store

9:41 am

Scarlet

All of it, peri.

9:41 am

dcseain

well, two meds are red, and one is plue, so yes, a purple haze

9:41 am

periwinkle

9:43 am

nancethefan

that's ok - drink as much as u can - that's always a treat

9:43 am

Aloyisius

ok, no more sodden mini wheats for Scarlet... she has had too many..

9:43 am

dcseain

Cavas come from around Barcelona

9:43 am

now, now, Scarlet

9:43 am

Scarlet

Oh.... lost my head for a moment... must be the loaded Mini-Wheats...it's Aloy's fault...

9:43 am

Haz1558

I think I need George Clooney to bring me back to my senses. Could someone fetch him?

9:43 am

periwinkle

Cavas?

9:43 am

dcseain

i'm hungry. i worder if there's any non-soup food i want to eat.

9:43 am

Scarlet

FM has him again, Haz... he is otherwise occupied... something about warm cake...

9:43 am

Vicuna

Sure, Haz. I'll run down to the beach and see if he's wandering mournfully again. Hang on!

9:44 am

FMitch

peri you dont have to drink it all in one go. Once opened return to fridge and pop a teaspoon into the neck of the bottle. It stops it going flat.

9:44 am

Haz1558

I can't recommend dipped Mini-wheats, dc. Not combined with your drugs.

9:44 am

Aloyisius

sure, sure, blame the Aloy.. Scarlet, you are on a Mini Wheat diet from now on

9:44 am

AnnieOakley

Can I share with u Haz?

9:44 am

dcseain

Cava is sparking wine made by methode champaignoise in caves - hence the name - in Catalunya.

9:44 am

FMitch

I have seen George for days, he went walk about throught he was wiith Haz?

9:44 am

dcseain

i have puffed kamut and some flaxen cereal or other. hm.

9:44 am

Haz1558

Sorry, Annie. George is not for sharing although others (pretenders and hangers-on) have tried.

9:44 am

periwinkle

Oh, I will look for some Cavas then sean, thanks

9:45 am

Haz1558

Dear goodness. Can nobody look after that man except me?

9:45 am

FMitch

Some decent Cavas are as good as champagne at a fraction of the costs

9:45 am

periwinkle

FM, really? never heard of that trick.

9:45 am

AnnieOakley

I gues that's why you're head of the police, and I'm a mere mortal...

9:45 am

Vicuna

Okay, Haz, I found him in a lonely cave writing bad poetry. he says he's on his way as soon as he finds a rhyme for "heart."

9:45 am

Scarlet

I am afraid not... Haz, you really must do a better job of reining that man in...

9:45 am

periwinkle

It is called Cavas in the store or is there a brand name I should look for

9:45 am

Haz1558

That's it, Annie. You don't get to this position without a few perks thrown in.

9:46 am

Scarlet

****Snort*** Vi, you have had too many mini-wheats now...

9:46 am

FMitch

Yup, once quaffing is done, put bottle in fridge door and drop soon into neck. et voila!

9:46 am

Frances

Vic it's in the grid. Starts with F

9:46 am

periwinkle

or should I just ask for Spanish Sparkling wine?

9:46 am

Haz1558

Vicuna - tell him ch5/14 - you're high up on my pop ch5/14

9:46 am

Scarlet

Vino! Vino!

9:46 am

AnnieOakley

if you ever dispose or tire of him, remember me...

9:46 am

periwinkle

what about the cork or top to the wine?

9:46 am

Haz1558

Join the queue, Annie, join the queue;.

9:46 am

Vicuna

Yeah, he said that had already been suggested by several babblers, but he was hoping for something a little more expressive of the uplifting passion he felt for Haz. *shrug*

9:47 am

FMitch

Ask them what Cavas they have peri and ask for a recommendation

9:47 am

dcseain

yes, what FMitch said

9:47 am

Vicuna

(I refer to the f- rhyme. Maybe I should tell him the ch- rhyme, though.)

9:47 am

daisy88

good morning, enjoyed the chat the other day so I thought I would join in today,how is everyone?

9:48 am

nancethefan

open it outside - i opened champagne once & the cork flew into the next yard

9:48 am

Haz1558

Vicuna! I'm shocked!

9:48 am

nancethefan

hey daisy

9:48 am

AnnieOakley

hello Daisy

9:48 am

Aloyisius

hi daisy!

9:48 am

daisy88

hi nance, and all, nance did you enjoy the race?

9:48 am

dcseain

peri, loosen the cage, gently remove the cage and cork together, away from your face and things that could break. Easiest to do with your hand over the top of it, wiggling it out gently.

9:48 am

Vicuna

Well, Haz, how many times do I have to tell you not to stick your finger in the electrical outlet!

9:48 am

Anniebrook

FM, just printed the recipe for the apple cake, thanks! are we still having alchol laced mini wheats....gooody, very healthful

9:49 am

AnnieOakley

always twist the bottle, not the cork, slurp

9:49 am

nancethefan

i did daisy & u?

9:49 am

Haz1558

Some day I'll listen to you, Vicuna.

9:49 am

FMitch

peri, make sure bottle is well chilled and then grasp the cork firmly and turn the bottle - no the other way around

9:49 am

Scarlet

Daisy!! Join the party!

9:49 am

nancethefan

now u tell me dc - lol

9:49 am

dcseain

hi, daisy

9:49 am

periwinkle

If I don't drink it all do I just put the spoon in the top without the cork

9:49 am

FMitch

If you are holding the cork and turning the bottle the cork cant fly off anywhere

9:49 am

daisy88

yes the race was a little slow in the beginning but the end is always so exciting no matter who wins

9:49 am

FMitch

yes peri

9:50 am

nancethefan

what does a spoon do?

9:50 am

Vicuna

Runs away with a dish, of course, nance!

9:50 am

Scarlet

It dances with the fork before they run to the moon, nance... everyone knows that!

9:50 am

periwinkle

okay,

9:50 am

periwinkle

okay, FM

9:50 am

Haz1558

That sppon was never any good.

9:51 am

periwinkle

now you are all getting silly, or should I say sillier

9:51 am

nancethefan

i'm happy rocket man won again

9:51 am

nancethefan

9:51 am

Haz1558

Bad family background.

9:51 am

dcseain

i have a vacuum sealer that presurizes the botttle, but i drink a lot of wine. Which reminds me, i need to 'cellar' shop.

9:51 am

Vicuna

(Scarlet, I think we'd better compare notes, here. We need to get our story straight.)

9:51 am

Haz1558

I sense a conspiracy!

9:51 am

FMitch

I used to dc, talking about it is as near as I get now.

9:51 am

periwinkle

dc is there any cavas that you would recommend. I like something sweeter than the norm

9:51 am

daisy88

great strategy at the end when kurt busch gave him a nice shove

9:51 am

Scarlet

I have a whopping 68 words found... this has been quite a fun party... LOL, Vi... you are the accurate one... I am the purple haze...

9:51 am

nancethefan

9:52 am

periwinkle

9:52 am

nancethefan

9:52 am

nancethefan

9:52 am

Atalante

9:52 am

FMitch

Hello daisy, keep getting sidetracked.

9:52 am

Babs1

krista?? are you still here in the party--or did you crash from too much champagne...get the book title?

9:52 am

Haz1558

Scarlet, we'll have to work on your multi-tasking.

9:52 am

daisy88

yes and he looked better too, looks like he shaved a little .

9:52 am

periwinkle

demi-sec, ok, never heard that term

9:53 am

dcseain

Freixinet is the most widely available brand. Most marks will make a variety of dryness from brut to semi-seche, which is usually, but not always, the sweetest.

9:53 am

Scarlet

Too late, Haz... it is a fatal flaw...

9:53 am

nancethefan

lol he did

9:53 am

daisy88

hi again to all, nice to be with you

9:53 am

nancethefan

mayb he's letting his hair grow until he wins a race

9:53 am

Atalante

or semi-seche if thats the US speak :D

9:53 am

FMitch

brb phone

9:53 am

Aloyisius

Scarlet, switch to dipping your mini wheats in coffee.. the words will magically appear..

9:53 am

dcseain

People at the shop should be able to guide you to something in your taste- and budget-range

9:53 am

Scarlet

Must pop out for a bit! Party on Garth!

9:54 am

Haz1558

IF THAT 'S GEORGE, FM, TELL HIM HE HAS FIVE MINUTES TO GET HERE!

9:54 am

insurance companies seem to run the US medical system

5:04 pm

carleekat

( I am so ignorant when it comes to ur health system there )

5:04 pm

Minveryork

I went to an ENT doctor and he wrote a referral for a biopsy. When I called to make the appt, they said I had to bring them mages of my cat scan on disk first.

5:04 pm

carleekat

5:05 pm

Minveryork

I went to an ENT doctor and he wrote a referral for a biopsy. When I called to make the appt, they said I had to bring them images of my cat scan on disk first

Hows the health system in Canada Jilli?

5:08 pm

carleekat

our health system is far from perfect..but after all we went through this fall... I am so grateful...kevin had several cat scans etc...and without...well..i have no idea how everything would have turned out..he got the surgery he needed when it was needed...and I didn't have to sell the homestead to get it

5:08 pm

Scarlet

LOL. jilli, I just came back from a daughter call...you are welcome!!

5:08 pm

Aussieme

hello people.... for once I have good news..... My Sister is getting Married !!

5:08 pm

carleekat

we have to wait a bit...( couple days maybe...) but priority is always those who are worst off

5:08 pm

herinfernallady

AUSSSSSSSSSSIEEEE yah

5:08 pm

hillary

i think canada's is probably the best... which not to say it's perfect by any means but when it comes to health services there's no such thing as perfect.

5:08 pm

Krista

I had just asked Peri and Min something..no big deal.

5:09 pm

lynxxx

Congrats to Aussie's sister !!

5:09 pm

Krista

Thanks for the hug, {{{Herin}}}.

5:09 pm

lori ann

Jilibus it unfortunatly is supposed to be the patients responsibility to know what to do in all situations. As if worrying about what is going on with us medically is not enough!

5:09 pm

periwinkle

Krista, did I miss something?

5:09 pm

crpw48

hi aussieme, thats great for your sister, so you like the fiance

5:09 pm

herinfernallady

Sorry Krista my brain is or has evaporated. It was 82 f over night

5:10 pm

inge

I found a veiw out my window from last spring. Will it show up in my icon?

5:10 pm

jillibus

lynxxx -- I think our system is GREAT. Sure, some people have to wait for hip replacements and such, and that can be very painful, but overall it works.

5:10 pm

Krista

Nothing important, just joking with you..asked if you are missing your bday dinner to finish the grid.

5:10 pm

hillary

lori it's the pointy side of being an 'informed' patient... the idea of informed consent to medical procedures has turned into passing the responsibility buck back to the patient.

5:10 pm

periwinkle

inge, your icon is black

5:10 pm

Scarlet

Aussie dear~!~ That is wonderful news? Did you give up hope, LOL?

5:10 pm

Michnick

Well, I'd better tear myself away from the grid or I'll never sleep. G'night all.

5:10 pm

carleekat

Aussieme

Happy Birthday peri my dear.....

5:11 pm

hillary

it's often said here that the more urgent/critical your health issue, the better your care, which is a good thing... but if you're waiting for elective procedures it means you're constantly pushed down the list.

5:11 pm

Scarlet

They are marrying on the eve of my 63rd birthday, Aussie... how is my cyber granddaughter these days?

5:12 pm

Aussieme

5:14 pm

jillibus

inge, I see your flowering tree in your profile, but not a whitetailed deer and in the chat it's black -- weird. Sometimes the black means the pic file is too big but then it doesn't show in the profile either.

Hi, Elsh!! Doing great!]

fine Elsh, and you ?

5:46 pm

Elsh

I'm alright, dealing with my bratty cat but other than that ok. XD

5:47 pm

herinfernallady

HI Elsh

5:47 pm

Elsh

hey infernal

5:48 pm

herinfernallady

OH my gosh. How the hell can a parent just let a child run about on a plane for 20 hours. That is just a b.s cop out. The kid was 2 if you are on a plane for 20 plus hours wouldn't you have a travel plan?

5:49 pm

Elsh

That sounds crazy, infernal. I don't like irresponsible parents.

5:50 pm

AEuser

how many words tonight

5:50 pm

o-o

People, I think, must bond with the letters or risk resistentialism. After all, letters form words. How would you feel if you were a word and people were labeling you abnormal or weird?

5:50 pm

Aussieme

263 AE

5:50 pm

AEuser

Thank you

5:50 pm

herinfernallady

This morning a person bitched about Jetstar being the worst for people with kids. They have always been wonderfull. All prams and kids on first and they have extended the boarding time for one woman as her kids had to wizz at the last min.

5:50 pm

Scarlet

I have been so accused, BR-r...

5:50 pm

Scarlet

I remain unfazed...

5:51 pm

Elsh

It's annoying when a company gets bad rep because of a bad customer.

5:52 pm

weegee

Hey peeps, wasn't this a lovely little grid today? I finished just now.

5:52 pm

Scarlet

WEll done, Weegee!!

5:52 pm

Aussieme

Yay weegee.....

5:52 pm

o-o

congrats, weegee

5:52 pm

Elsh

People assume companies can control customers with superpowers.

5:53 pm

herinfernallady

I have flown more times with that company and they are great. Its seems to me that its an all about me complex. shit i wouldn't want to fly 20 plus hours why would i do it to a kid. I would be pissy myself for that length of time

5:53 pm

weegee

Oooh, are we sharing bad customer service stories, or awful flight stories?

5:53 pm

Elsh

yeah, sounds about right, infernal.

5:53 pm

herinfernallady

Oh Elsh heres a funny one for you I was menaced by a small child the other week. He kept threatening to hit me till i spun around and growled ' I hit harder' gosh knows where the parents are.

5:54 pm

Elsh

hahaha! XD

5:54 pm

herinfernallady

Weegee i was saying there was this dumb arse buisness flyer with their 2 year old on a 20 plus flight kid being a terror and their like oh well what can you do'

5:55 pm

weegee

I looooove toddlers! I ask them to tell me a story and the responses are often hysterical. Most just want to be paid attention to, something many parents, sadly, no longer do

5:56 pm

weegee

before they're out of diapers though, you can keep them

5:56 pm

Elsh

Yeah, I don't have kids yet (if ever) because I want to be a good parent. I'm not sure I would be and I would want to be sure. People just pop out kids without thinking about it.

5:57 pm

herinfernallady

That is cute. I remember signing the Song the ants go marching one by one and the little one stopped to?? and then they insert the rest and one of the kids went ' scratch his bum' i was trying not to laugh

5:57 pm

weegee

well, the rhyme was spot on!!

5:58 pm

herinfernallady

IT was. There is so many good parents with great kids but you always hear about the stupid parents

5:59 pm

Elsh

Yeah. There are a lot of stupid parents too though.

5:59 pm

weegee

...the stupid parents seem most fond of taking their children out in public, probably because they're tired of dealing with them at home

6:00 pm

Elsh

indeed

6:01 pm

herinfernallady

There was this lady at Mcdonalds the other day *i was getting coffee and toast* and her kids were going mental outside and her friend turned up and she collapsed into her friends arms going 'help me' it was quite funny from my point of view

6:02 pm

Aussieme

I found 100 words !!!!! 163 to go, go me !!

6:02 pm

herinfernallady

6:07 pm

Scarlet

LOL, Aussie...

6:08 pm

Scarlet

LOL, yes, weeg... good memory, except for finding the oddball words that show up every six months... some of them just delight me, so I recall them,... others are just so wrong on every level... LOL

6:27 pm

weegee

macdonalds? how awful.. I used to take my chowchow there once a week for a "cheeseburger, no onions & no wrapper, please" and the drive up folks would fight over who'd get to hand it to him. He'd start barking at the little order thingee and not stop until he got that burger!

6:27 pm

I hate MickeyD. Last summer when I was fighting a nasty case of cellulitis, I did go there for fish sammiches a few times because in this part of the good ol' US it's one of only 2 fast food joints that have fish sammiches on the menu 12 months/year, and I was craving them

7:18 pm

Scrabbler

My bunny Callie was Calvin for a few months and then I had to emotionally and mentally adjust to the correct gender.

7:19 pm

aprilrain

are you unable to tell with rabbits when they're little, or were you misinformed?

7:20 pm

aprilrain

turtles don't have X and Y chromosomes like mammals do, so you really have to wait until they're older. And it's cool because if the eggs are one temperature when incubating they'll be males and another temperature yields females, then there's kind of a middle area where you get a mix.

7:20 pm

Mapella

7:23 pm

featherbee

scrabs, if you'd done rug where hae is, you would have won. it would have put you up to 338, and i was at 312. there's no way i could have made up the difference even with the triple.

Scrabbler

I just got my new glasses tonight and I am adjusting to them.

8:19 pm

Uh, oh, is he OK?

8:21 pm

8:22 pm

tygerbryght

8:22 pm

8:22 pm

jillibus

8:22 pm

Natasha

I need new glasses, I realized recently.

8:23 pm

tygerbryght

oh, yes, jilli. hours ago :)

8:23 pm

tygerbryght

that's how I could tell natts where to look to find it :)

8:23 pm

Scrabbler

It takes a few days to adjust--I have progressive multifocals.

8:23 pm

jillibus

I need a cataract op, hmpf

8:23 pm

pam

I have progressives and they took 10 days...

8:23 pm

Scrabbler

Yuck, Jill.

8:23 pm

tygerbryght

I have no lines trifocals, but hafta take them off to read extensive text

8:23 pm

Natasha

what are progressives?

8:24 pm

tygerbryght

(((jilli)))

8:24 pm

jillibus

Hmm -- Barack wins Wisconsin, says NBC

8:24 pm

Scrabbler

I also have to get the right fit on my nose and ears.

8:24 pm

pam

I put off the progressives until 18 months ago--used to read beneath my glasses, LOL

8:24 pm

tygerbryght

I was told 2 years ago that I've got cataracts started. my grampa had them really bad

8:24 pm

Angela

sheesh

8:24 pm

jillibus

no prob with cataract ops, my elderly pals tell me

8:25 pm

Angela

finally got that er 4... sigh

8:25 pm

tygerbryght

yeah. it's not the big deal it useta be

8:25 pm

pam

nat--bi-or tri-focals --and various other combinations--without the lines or circles

8:25 pm

Scrabbler

natasha--instead of lines for bi- or trifocals, they are progressive from distance vision on top, to computer distance in the middle, to reading distance at the bottom.

8:25 pm

tygerbryght

very good, ang

8:25 pm

jillibus

I LOVE my progressives!!!

8:25 pm

Angela

thank you all for your patience!

8:26 pm

Natasha

ahhh...wonder when I'll have to get those. I'm nearsighted in one eye and farsighted in the other, so my prescription is a bit strange.

8:26 pm

pam

I am lucky, scrabs--my computer and reading are the same. And, I wear my readers at work when I am writing extensively...

8:26 pm

tygerbryght

oww, nat

8:26 pm

featherbee

my mom has those. took her a bit to get used to them, but she likes them now

8:26 pm

jillibus

Nat -- mine is strange too, very unbalanced

8:27 pm

lbdawger

i like my progressives, i just wish those who print up the labels on things would use a bit bigger print. I swear they are getting smaller and smaller!

8:27 pm

Scrabbler

I have had progressive for 3 1/2 yrs, but this is a new prescription.

8:27 pm

jillibus

dawg, new glasses coming up!

8:27 pm

tygerbryght

my left eye is far more near-sighted than my right, but I've got an astigmatism in the rt.

8:27 pm

Natasha

Amazing how many of us have glasses!

8:27 pm

Natasha

must be all the reading

8:28 pm

tygerbryght

probably so, nat :)

8:28 pm

lbdawger

jilli, yeah new prescription is needed, but even those who have good eyesight have been complaining on how small the tiny print is!

8:28 pm

tygerbryght

or maybe it's the predilection for it?

8:28 pm

jillibus

tyger, we are almost the same, but my astig is in the left

8:29 pm

tygerbryght

ctrl+ increases print size on the computer, for those who didn't know

8:29 pm

jillibus

true, dawg -- some labes are in 2pt, I swear

8:29 pm

jillibus

Minveryork

8:29 pm

tygerbryght

hey, min, howarya? :)

8:29 pm

Natasha

hi, min

8:29 pm

pam

LOL, nat. Wearing them since I was 2.5 or 3... needed them sooner

8:30 pm

jillibus

hi again, min!

8:30 pm

pam

NICE ICON, MIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8:30 pm

Natasha

wow that's early pam.

8:30 pm

tygerbryght

glasses since age 9, definitely needed them earlier

8:30 pm

lbdawger

Hi Min! welcome to the grid

8:30 pm

pam

Yeah, I had a lot of problems seeing... Still have LOUSY depth perception

8:31 pm

jillibus

oh, min -- hadn't refreshed! Is that the view from your window, lol?

8:32 pm

Minveryork

Pam do you mean it or are you being sarcastic. Hope I do not offend anyone with this icon, as I said in my profile. I wore a t-shirt today saying the same thing.

8:33 pm

lbdawger

i like the icon, Min!

8:33 pm

Angela

love the icon Min - so true

8:34 pm

jillibus

I didn't know I was nearsighted until I was about 17 -- people thought I was being a snob because I didn't recognise them across the road.

8:34 pm

Scrabbler

I like your icon, Minveryork. I would like to have a sign with that quote and flash it in front of mean people.

8:34 pm

Minveryork

Think I should change it to medical red tape sucks as I found out today.Could not get MRI done because of non-preapproval from insurance company.That sucks

8:34 pm

tygerbryght

min, I think most people agree. don't worry about the icon, okay? :)

8:34 pm

Angela

even with your rather emergent situation Min??

8:34 pm

lbdawger

insurance companies are run by mean people that's why they suck!

8:34 pm

Scrabbler

Your doc should have done that before you even made your appt for the MRI, Min.

8:34 pm

jillibus

That was really rotten, min, as I expressed earlier today.

8:35 pm

jillibus

Hear hear, scrab

8:35 pm

Minveryork

LOL lbdawger! :=)

8:35 pm

tygerbryght

aww, bummer. so sorry you had that inconvenience, min

8:35 pm

Scrabbler

What is your situation, if I amy ask, Min? You do not have to discuss it if you don't want to.

8:35 pm

Minveryork

Well, there's more to the story, but won't get into it.

8:36 pm

Scrabbler

Good luck, Minveryork! I hope everything works out well!

8:36 pm

Angela

I just assumed it would be emergent with an MRI - didn't mean to pry Min

8:37 pm

tygerbryght

we all wish you the best, Min

8:37 pm

pam

MIN--I have a button with that saying. it was HUGE at dead shows years ago and was popular in my crowd, too! So, no, was NOT being sarcastic. The other one I love: Your Hate Becomes You.

8:37 pm

jillibus

I'll drink to that, Min (hic!)

8:37 pm

Minveryork

Scrabbler, I had an accident a week ago where I was pinned between a city bus and my car. Had x-rays & cat scans done. I didn't break or fracture anything, but in the x-rays and cat scans they found 2 masses.

8:38 pm

pam

I had a CT scan that the referral was misplaced on... GRRRRRR. But, the doc straightened it out

8:38 pm

jillibus

oof, min!

8:39 pm

Angela

I didn't realize - thought the MRI was related to the bus/car incident... :(

8:39 pm

Minveryork

I guess I could call the accident a blessing in disguise

8:39 pm

tygerbryght

sure sounds like it, but what a way to find out! :(

8:39 pm

Minveryork

Never would have known about the masses otherwise

8:40 pm

pam

min--curious? what was today's icon theme?

8:40 pm

Scrabbler

Some things are found fortuitously, Minveryork, although it certainly isn't feeling that way for you now. Lungs? Or where?

8:40 pm

tygerbryght

well, know that we care, min.

8:40 pm

jillibus

scrab, is it not so that sometimes masses are meaningless?

8:41 pm

Scrabbler

((Minveryork))---wishing you peace until this is resolved.

8:41 pm

Minveryork

Today's icon theme is"out your bedroom window" pam

8:41 pm

Angela

we will all be sending good thoughts your way for sure!

8:41 pm

christy8376

8:43 pm

jillibus

I'll drink to scrab again, dear min! You don't deserve this worry and I hope it will soon be over.

8:43 pm

Scrabbler

We have gotten lots of new snow in the last day, with more by tomorrow.

8:43 pm

Minveryork

Thank you all for your concern and support!Will keep you updated. I'm just glad that I can still babble/chat

8:44 pm

tygerbryght

LOL, pam. out my window is parking lot where many Spanish-speaking fellow apt-dwellers park cars behind each other

10:48 pm

MLFAN17

or more words on my own that is

10:49 pm

jillibus

night stid -- I added another

10:50 pm

lori ann

Way to go MLFAN!!!! I just started playing babble about a week ago and I wonder if I'll ever complete a grid.

10:50 pm

lori ann

It sure is fun trying!!

10:51 pm

MLFAN17

lori i have yet to complete one you are on a 2 week trial probably

10:51 pm

jillibus

lori, you've hit some big grids in the past week

10:51 pm

jillibus

mlf -- lori has gone pro

10:51 pm

MLFAN17

i just found two words i thought i had a long time ago lol

10:51 pm

lori ann

I actually joined and went PRO whatever that means

10:52 pm

MLFAN17

ohh thats cool lori to go pro

10:53 pm

MLFAN17

lori you paid to be on this site but first two weeks is a trial

10:53 pm

MLFAN17

if you dont pay that is

10:53 pm

lori ann

Your right Jill these puzzles have been big this week. I just love this game.

10:53 pm

MLFAN17

but after that and before it you can pay to go pro if you want to

10:54 pm

jillibus

lori, going pro means you don't lose the stats and get to have an icon and flag etc, plus you can get BabbleExpert and help support Dr_God who made this game we all enjoy. Welcome!

10:54 pm

MLFAN17

can you get babble expert without pro?

10:54 pm

vah

Can anyone give me a clue for the N words? I have the food one,

10:55 pm

lori ann

Well...I know I'm glad I joined. And now I know who you all refer to as Dr. GOD

10:55 pm

jillibus

lori -- it's more than a game -- it's a community and the icon themes help you learn new things if you follow them

10:55 pm

MLFAN17

theirs na that means nostrils and its a 5

10:55 pm

jillibus

Lickety prefers that you go pro and help support the game before asking him for BabbleExpert

10:56 pm

licketySplitAUS

hey everyone. MLFAN17 - yes you can get Babble Expert without going pro. Babble Expert is completely free. If you are not Pro you don't get the fireworks video if you finish.

10:56 pm

jillibus

hi Lickety!

10:56 pm

MLFAN17

lickety what does babble expert give you without pro?

10:57 pm

lori ann

Hi Lickety

10:57 pm

licketySplitAUS

I don't want to impact DrGod's earnings - so any pro features don't flow through into Babble Expert.

10:57 pm

licketySplitAUS

MLFAN17 - you get Lickety Add, Lickety Chat, Send words to Clues, Send CLues to Babble

10:57 pm

MLFAN17

no icon??

10:58 pm

jillibus

over to Lickety -- back after I find my new icon for the next theme -- "My favourite car"

10:58 pm

lori ann

I am going to ask a stupid question...Who are you lickety

10:58 pm

MLFAN17

using the list lickety?

10:59 pm

lori ann

Yes

10:59 pm

jillibus

I'll answer that -- Lickety is the wonderful guy who supplies the list of clues every single day and has invented Babble Expert -- all for free. He lives in Australia and his beautiful wife is MrPresident

10:59 pm

licketySplitAUS

lori ann - just husband of mrpresident - another player. I don't play babble, I just created a helpful tool and replicated the clues that was already done by

11:00 pm

MLFAN17

lickety how do i get the babble expert?

11:00 pm

licketySplitAUS

brandyjack on Babbleanon

11:00 pm

licketySplitAUS

MLFAN17 - see bottom of clues page for details

11:00 pm

jillibus

Lickety is too modest -- most of us couldn't do without him and his list.

11:00 pm

licketySplitAUS

jilibus - thank you for such a glowing report!

11:01 pm

MLFAN17

lickety i also wanted to let someone know that i have had probs today with my words staying in hte list on lickety page

11:01 pm

lori ann

Lickety...I think this is great. I am so new to this computer world and I really enjoy chatting with my new friends here in babbleland. Your list is also very helpful.

11:01 pm

licketySplitAUS

MLFAN17 - that occurs when your cache gets all screwy - Try to clear out your internet cache / temprorary internet files.

11:01 pm

jillibus

Lickety, you deserve every glowing word and more

11:02 pm

flosey, speaking of homesteads, having glanced at ur profile, i remember them trying to pull down the original farmstead house at my great-aunt's farm. Ended up taking all day, 3 tractors and 4 pick-up trucks to pull it down. The frame was as solid as the roof was not. LOL
