A Queenslander is drinking in a West Darwin bar when he gets a call on his mobile phone.
He hangs up, grinning from ear to ear, and orders a round of drinks for everyone in the bar because, he announces, his wife has just produced a typical baby boy weighing 25 pounds.

Nobody can believe that any baby can weigh in at 25 pounds, but the Queenslander just shrugs, "That's about average in Queensland, fellas...like I said, my boy is a typical Queensland baby boy."

Congratulations showered him from all around, and many exclamations of "WOW"! Were heard.

One woman actually fainted due to sympathy pains.

Two weeks later he returns to the bar.

The bartender says, " Hey, you're the father of that typical Queensland baby that weighed 25 pounds at birth. Everybody's been making bets about how big he'd be in two weeks.

We were going to call you; so how much does he weigh now?"

The proud father answers, " 19 pounds."

The bartender is puzzled, and concerned. "What happened? He already weighed 25 pounds the day he was born."

The Queensland father takes a slow swig from his XXXX, wipes his lips on his shirt sleeve, leans into the bar and proudly says, "Had him circumcised"

jai you have been blessed with such a beautiful name and double blessed a healer , I feel most humble and privilledged to have you as a Babbler

2:21 am

loredana

Sprite have you read jais profile another special person like you

2:21 am

sprite

was just thinking the same thing, lore, after reading Jai's profile text. And now learning to be a minister... you are really in touch with the things that DO matter, I think, jai!

2:21 am

sprite

lol lore... yes, just read it. And jai is much more special than I will ever be.

2:22 am

Marmar

hello sprite from marcus :)

2:22 am

dcseain

oh, sprite, there you go again, underestimating yourself :)

2:22 am

herinfernallady

We had everything organised. Times to go and so forth

2:22 am

jaianniah

Ty, sprite! It's hard work, but great fun, if you can believe that!

2:22 am

loredana

no such thing we are all special each and everyone of us (even me) lol hugs why do you think i call you princess

2:23 am

sprite

oh, I DO believe that, jai! Lovely to hear you enjoy it so much. Hard work is not a problem then, is it :) :)

2:23 am

loredana

being a healer or becoming a minister jai?

2:23 am

jaianniah

And sprite, you are just about the specialest Babbler I know!

2:23 am

loredana

i second that jai

2:23 am

sprite

that is true, lore, we are all special. And unique. And I think you call me princess because I am luckily too young and nice to be a Queen ;)

2:23 am

jaianniah

Minister- already am a healer...

2:23 am

loredana

thats only one reason you got right

2:24 am

sprite

don't think there is much difference, except in how you label things... between healer and minister, I mean.

2:24 am

loredana

jai yes were you referring to becoming a minister hard i guess so

2:24 am

jaianniah

So true, sprite, so true

2:24 am

herinfernallady

Jai can i ask you a question please

2:24 am

dcseain

Yes- the Bible is a complicated book and goes a lot deeper than I ever thought it could...

2:25 am

jaianniah

Go ahead, herin

2:25 am

sprite

2:28 am

herinfernallady

I am trying to find out how you find out what your Native American animal is.

2:28 am

sprite

2:28 am

dcseain

2:28 am

sprite

he or she finds you, lady

2:28 am

jaianniah

It is the Arctic Wolf

2:28 am

dcseain

lady, it requires meditation, sometimes guided, to see your hunting ground, in which dwells your spirit animal, at least in my tradition. mine is a flying rat.

2:29 am

sprite

lynxxx: his foot has been diagnosed as GOUT! So we are happy, even though that is a bad thing. But it is no rheumatism and that is worth a celebration. He has better meds now and they start to kick in. Foot is less swollen and less painful now.

2:29 am

dcseain

so glad to hear, sprite :D

2:29 am

jaianniah

I am a shaman, and that takes years to learn, but travelling is so fun!

2:31 am

sprite

mine came to me in a guided visualisation. We were asked to focus on playing bunnies and I was seriously trying to oblige. But this big snow panther kept jumping in and prowling round the scene. It was love at first sight. Or even before, I think :)

herinfernallady

Sprite that is cool about the pantha kitty

2:36 am

dcseain

it's rare for me to be blocked in the nose enough to impact my speech. Perhaps due to the intersection of years of speech therapy when young and chronic sinus infections my whole life.

dcseain

2:56 am

if that were the case, she could say so, jilli, and you could explain, if at all necessary. But lady was tired from visiting many houses, so perhaps it is just that?

2:57 am

loredana

dont worry jilli herin would not be offended by any joke shes probably stressed herself out about moving and overdone things i am sure she will tell you so next time

2:57 am

dcseain

probably, sprite, she's usually one to let us know when she takes offence.

2:57 am

jillibus

Atalante

3:35 am

sprite

Zaanstreek... Koog aan de Zaan, to be precise

3:36 am

Jandy

And may i ask why you have to create gremlins? I find life produces plenty for me!

3:36 am

sprite

I drew one! I have never drawn anything recognisable in my life and now I did :)

3:36 am

Jandy

Clogwog's been there once or twice, a long time ago!

3:37 am

sprite

loredana

Atalante

Jandy

Ok Sprite, your alert is hurting my brain!

3:41 am

sprite

it is a babblet, Jandy. ha4/6. A low fence that marks a border or something like that. Sounds like a good laugh.

3:42 am

Jandy

Got it, thanks Sprite!

3:43 am

sprite

wtg Jandy :) It is a recurring babblet, worth putting into memory :)

3:43 am

Jandy

In the dim recesses of my mind, it has something to do with horse jumping...

3:43 am

o-o

de 7 -- as dc pointed out is what cleans clothes or dishes, sans the last two letters

3:43 am

o-o

how long is the Coentunnelweg?

3:44 am

hillary

thanks babble that's finished my d's

3:44 am

Jandy

More importantly, BR, what has brought this question about?

3:44 am

Atalante

husba --- no, not in the grid

3:45 am

sprite

Atalante

oh, the dreaded fleas LOL

3:45 am

sprite

a curious mind never grows old, they say :)

3:46 am

Jandy

The ha-ha or sunken fence is a type of boundary to a garden, pleasure-ground, or park, designed not to interrupt the view and to be invisible until closely approached. The ha-ha consists of a trench, the inner side of which is vertical and faced with stone, with the outer slope face sloped and turfed - making it in effect a sunken fence or wall.

3:48 am

Atalante

JANDY!

4:22 am

mattygroves

Gee, I really must come back more often. Clearly I've missed tons!

4:32 am

Jacula

Oops! Forgot I still had Haz in her Cartland makeup as my icon.

4:35 am

Haz1558

Actually, when you see it in icon size, it's not half bad. Maybe I should start thinking about using a trowel instead of a make-up brush.

4:35 am

herinfernallady

Jac that sounds like my old boss

4:35 am

Jacula

Put your specs on, Haz. LOL

4:36 am

Haz1558

I'll just squint instead. Life's better when you squint at it.

4:37 am

Jacula

My Mum says that! She can see what needs dusting if she puts her specs on.

4:51 am

Atalante

What does George think of all this Stringfellow stuff?

4:51 am

demi

wrong box

4:51 am

rolin

how did the peter stringfellow thing start?

4:51 am

rolin

only the fact that it wasnt a word saved you from the penalty box demi...

4:51 am

Haz1558

rolin - how could you ask such a thing. Just look at him. What's not to love?

4:52 am

Haz1558

George doesn't know about Stringfellow. And I'm trusting babblers not to give the game away.

4:52 am

demi

rolin, ur son wants to know what the penalt box is

4:53 am

Atalante

we won't. much

4:53 am

rolin

ahh... well if you say or type a word from the grid into chat...youre sent to the cyber penalty box... but its not too mad...theres usually chocolate brownies there

4:53 am

Jacula

Cheating on gorgeous George with slimey Stringfellow? You must be insane. :)

4:53 am

rolin

haz... i have to claim a lack of knowledge about the man...

4:54 am

Haz1558

Gorgeous George has paraded too many women down red carpets for my liking. A girl can only take so much. This is my revenge. Revenge of the middle-aged One.

4:54 am

Atalante

but does George ever wear leopard print thongs?

4:54 am

pinkhatlil

Hello Babblers!!

4:55 am

Haz1558

He wears thongs, rolin. Enough said. AND he's a stranger to the barbers.

4:58 am

herinfernallady

4:58 am

rolin

4:58 am

Haz1558

Undecideds can just shake everything vigorously.

4:58 am

Jacula

rolin - you c & p the image address and then you open a new tab and get tinyurl address up. Paste your long address into the box on the site and it gives you a short address to c & p.

4:59 am

Atalante

Haz1558

5:01 am

rolin

5:02 am

Atalante

5:02 am

Jacula

*wishing she HADN'T read Rolin's article and trying NOT to imagine the kimono bulge thing they mentioned.*

Don't talk about bumps, Ata!

No! That WOULD gave the game away. Although I could always claim that Stringfellow was completely unknown to me and an escapee from the home for the bewildered.

5:02 am

rolin

bye pink

5:03 am

Atalante

does that means he plays babble? if he's in a home for the bewildered?

5:04 am

rolin

gonna take a break and play some wii tennis...bbl

5:04 am

Haz1558

No - babble is banned in the home for the bewildered. They say the chat log is too upsetting and unsettling for them.

5:04 am

demi

trumpoz: watch out for the lights.....

5:05 am

Atalante

makes sense. and I must away to walk the monster hound. back later!!

5:06 am

Jacula

Anyone looking through Rolin's window and not realising it's wii tennis will be having her sent to the home for the bewildered.:D

5:06 am

Haz1558

See you later, Atalante. I have shopping to do. I'd rather walk the dog!

5:06 am

herinfernallady

Atalante

Jacula

I've got to sort out a stack of flowers P's just brought home into 3 nicely arranged bouquets. He says I can have any left over flowers for myself.:/

5:08 am

Haz1558

He's always been too generous for his own good. 3 minimalistic bouquets coming up.

5:08 am

Jacula

LOL, Haz.

found 3 out of 5 8's, but not one 7????

5:23 am

shoelessdwarf

can anyone give me a little help with the 8s?

5:24 am

Eva

what you give a lawyer up front.

5:25 am

Eva

then the same thing starting with a d

5:26 am

Eva

the verb form of the round green thing people hand on their doors at Christmas-then the plural

5:27 am

shoelessdwarf

thanks eva

5:27 am

Eva

yw

5:28 am

Eva

I'm finding the 7's more difficult-only have 2 of them

5:28 am

movieman

Eva, I don't think that lawyer clue works

5:30 am

Eva

sorry-you're right....had it in my mind but tried and it didn'twork because you need another r. Sorry shoeless for misleading. The de8 is still correct, and the 2 wr's. The other one I have is a th8/50 which is a weird past vern form of when you say you are going to do something bad to someone.

5:34 am

Frances

Good morning all.

What you could say is - what you give a lawyer up front but change the first letter to D.

5:35 am

Eva

love your badger frances. I've never seen one up close. Don't think we have them in New England. we have, however, enough snow for anyone who would like some.

5:36 am

P.J.

Good morning all!

5:36 am

Eva

shoeless-did you get the correction re the lawyer clue?

5:36 am

Frances

Would love some Eva. Our winters are getting warmer and warmer. We always used to get snow but now we don't. None here this winter.

5:37 am

Eva

We were that way last year (awful for the local economy), and the year before was barely better. This winter has been, I think, the snowiest in 50 years, and we have set records for lowest temp for February.

5:37 am

Eva

moring hodag

5:39 am

Frances

Today is brilliant sunshine but it is howling a gale - been blowing for twenty four hours now. That on top of the earthquake the other day!

5:39 am

P.J.

hi Eva,I sure am tired of the snow. I want to play in my flower gardens......:-)

5:39 am

Eva

was it a significant earthquake?!

5:41 am

Frances

5.4 on the richter scale. It was at one o'clock in the morning. I happened to be awake. I can only describe it as like being on a bumpy magic carpet ride.

5:41 am

Eva

I know hodag. The snow on my garden is above my head. But at least this year the perennials are well protected from frost. For the first time I'm going to build mini greenhouses for the raised beds, so I can begin a month early and go longer. The vision of mud season this year makes me think of the old horror movie "The Blob".

5:42 am

Frances

Hello hodag. Didn't see you sneak in there.

5:42 am

Eva

Wow Frances. I didn't know that England had quakes of that magnitude.

5:43 am

P.J.

Hi Fran,I'm glad you are OK!!!!!!

5:44 am

Frances

It was very deep so damage was not too bad. Had it been nearer the surface it would have been a lot worse. Mainly fallen chimney stacks.

5:45 am

P.J.

Oh my goodness!! I think I'll put up with the snow..lol

5:50 am

6:13 am

Scrabbler

I am getting some Babble time in before work---a long day of lots of sick kids and parents that want them well stat.

Frances

Hello Scrabs

6:13 am

periwinkle

Scrabs, how is Mary doing?

6:15 am

Scrabbler

Guess what? her husband called me last night to thank me for visiting her on Wednesday. A MRI on Thursday showed that the tumor is 4x3x3 mm now!!! It started out 17 x 11x7 mm. So the chemo is doing its work! He is SO happy: "I think we could beat this."

6:15 am

redturtlehead

6:15 am

periwinkle

Wow, great news, Scrabbler

6:16 am

P.J.

hi ya Scrabbler!!

6:16 am

Scrabbler

She is very weak and tired. She barely ate dinner before she fell asleep. Fighting cancer comes at a great cost, and brain cancer patients really get slammed when their brain is radiated.

6:17 am

Angelsong

I got news on Thursday...I'm going to be grammy for the 3rd time....

6:17 am

Scrabbler

Is the X used in any words?

6:49 am

redturtlehead

I'd want the4star too...though I amnotsonice, so being at a front desk eachday....would killme!

6:49 am

Frances

Just making some melting moments RTH but you'll have to wait for them to come out of the oven.

6:50 am

carleekat

whats ameltling moment?

6:50 am

redturtlehead

Oh Frances, I am jealous. All I have in the fridge is yogurt and salad.

6:50 am

Aloyisius

lol, red... smiling all day?

6:50 am

Frances

Melting moments - vanilla cookies that melt in the mouth.

6:51 am

carleekat

oh its easyt o be nice and spend other peoples money...

6:51 am

carleekat

ok..never heartd of them frances

6:51 am

redturtlehead

I've had a particularly bad week,butI ams tarting to feel better Yogurt, I like, Salad I like but I could deal with cookie.

6:51 am

redturtlehead

Oooh, Smiling all day, could not do it. I at least amnot required to smilefor my job.

6:52 am

carleekat

i just got an 8 yippee

6:52 am

Aloyisius

wtg, carlee!

6:52 am

redturtlehead

Yay Carlee!

6:52 am

carleekat

oh...u only have to smile to the public....u go to behind front desk ( there usually a room ) and curse and swear like a sailor

6:53 am

Aloyisius

brb, need more coffeeeeeeeeeeee

6:53 am

Frances

But RTH if you had a job that made you happy, surely smiling would not be a problem.

6:54 am

redturtlehead

My job makes me "Happy" but there is a lot of times when similing is entirely in-appropriate....

6:54 am

redturtlehead

Without the paycheck though, my job would not make me happy. the other day i rememberworking an off shift and consistentlytelling myself,"You are doing this forthe money" over and over again.

6:55 am

Frances

My last job, before I retired was the worst paid job I ever had but I was really happy doing it. I loved it and because I was always smiling, my boss was too.

6:56 am

redturtlehead

I suppose I don'thave a smiley job...but then again, people I qork with are sometimes seriously injured or near death and smiling constantly when trying to revive someone just isn't quite needed.

6:57 am

Frances

I can understand that RTH. Must be very stressful.

6:58 am

carleekat

it was people like u who took care of my husband...

6:58 am

Angelsong

Frances

Must be very hard work for you. Are you coping?

7:00 am

carleekat

i am surviving frances.... I Don't have a choice in the matter

7:01 am

Frances

I hope you get lots of help and time for yourself.

7:02 am

carleekat

there is not help frances....his mother expects me to do it all... my mother has done enough... his brothers refuse to help in any way shape or form... and babble is my time

7:04 am

Frances

I am so sorry carlee. That is really hard. You don't need relatives like that. I am so pleased that you are able to make time for talking to us........and babble of course.

7:09 am

Anniebrook

I was referring to her husband's mother.

7:09 am

Frances

Ah OK just thought when you said mother and mother in law.

Frances, she could be helping her son but she seems to be a not nice person in other ways too.

7:10 am

Frances

You would think a mother would be pleased to help her son in that predicament.

7:11 am

Anniebrook

Frances, yes, you would think that. she sounds selfish and the brothers could help too.

7:12 am

Frances

I cannot imagine not wanting to help my son in that sort of situation. Totally incomprehensible.

7:13 am

Anniebrook

Yes, to me too. It takes all kinds, I guess.

7:13 am

flosey

I think most mothers would want to be there with their sons or daughters almost to a point of becoming a nuisance

7:13 am

Frances

Exactly!!!

7:14 am

Anniebrook

I agree

7:14 am

flosey

your kids hurt - you hurt

8:18 am

mattygroves

Hi all, btw

offdutymom

just typed in the wrong box montreal

8:23 am

offdutymom

this is all new to me

8:24 am

Haz1558

It happens because of the design of the chat log. You just have to somehow get into the habit of switching back to add words. Everyone does it at some time or another.

8:24 am

LadyNatts

that's okay, offdutymom... we all do it

8:24 am

offdutymom

thanks

8:24 am

8:25 am

FMitch

Have just got in from lovely walk and see you are off

8:25 am

Haz1558

rh4 - r plus first three letters of what you do with your ears.

8:25 am

LadyNatts

hi FM.... long time no see

8:25 am

Haz1558

rh4/5 - r plus the first letters of the fireman's equipment.

8:26 am

dan2bit

sorry I meant the 6 & 7s Haz

8:26 am

FMitch

Good to see spangle back in her place.
Hi Lady, work rather took over last week

8:27 am

Haz1558

I'll have a look.

8:27 am

Haz1558

rh6/27 - (difficult to clue so bear with me)

8:28 am

silversarah

wr4 any clues?

8:28 am

Haz1558

rh, first three letters of the proper term for a greenfly, finish with a vowel.

8:28 am

FMitch

Gosh if you can't clue it Haz, it ust be a sticky one!

8:28 am

Haz1558

Now for the rh7

8:28 am

LadyNatts

so sleepy... it's early yet, here... hubby's getting ready for work, but I may be ready for more bedtime.

8:29 am

FMitch

lol Lady nothing like a gentle start to the day :)

8:29 am

dan2bit

greenfly might be a bit too brit for me :-)

8:29 am

Haz1558

rh, first three letters of the greenfly, finish with a latin feminine plural ending

8:29 am

Haz1558

The second rh7 is the plural of rh6

8:30 am

Haz1558

Google greenfly and see what it is, then work the rest of the clue from there.

8:30 am

Haz1558

OR first four letters of Gershwin's blue dream, three letters of Scots 'to possess' (first rh7)

8:31 am

FMitch

8:33 am

FMitch

Breaks into song *There may be troubles ahead...*

8:38 am

Atalante

ooooo yes, you must have Lori! Preferably one of Uni too

8:38 am

LoriP

Hey nono! :-0

8:38 am

Haz1558

I'm glad they worked, eventually, Nono. I had to laugh the other day when I gave what I thought was a reasonable clue - it didn't work for one babbler who said 'thanks for trying'.....

8:39 am

LoriP

Uni and I have been giggling for days. Makeup is such a powerful tool. :-)

8:39 am

Atalante

thanks for trying. OMG!

8:39 am

Atalante

did the babbler begin with M?

8:39 am

LoriP

Ouch! That's harsh.....

8:39 am

LoriP

Or h?

8:40 am

Haz1558

I know, Atalante, it sounded so funny. I don't think she meant to be condescending but it was hilarious.

8:40 am

NonoNanette

just kept typing one of them in wrong over and over again Haz but it finally sorted itself out ..... Thanks

8:40 am

8:40 am

Atalante

8:41 am

FMitch

Ata Hari? LOL

8:41 am

Haz1558

rh4 can either be rh plus a couple of vowels or r plus where you go when you're sick (first letters)

8:41 am

Okay, back in my Welsh ball gown. When does the dancing start?

8:45 am

Enomis65

it is quite early to be playing with make up!!!

8:45 am

Haz1558

You should know better than to ask 'why' about the chat log. It just evolves.

8:45 am

FMitch

Vi you look lovely and thank you - you are the only one who followed my suggestion.

8:45 am

LoriP

Well, methinks Ata Hari has perchance skiped meds for a few days too many, and had a total psychotic break.

Surely a leek would make the mascara run?

9:17 am

Atalante

cocker spaniel

9:17 am

Vicuna

9:26 am

Haz1558

9:35 am

FMitch

Did you put a hex on Tescos?

9:35 am

9:35 am

Scarlet

:-) Oh, that Haz! ARe you doing a complete re-over on the bathroom too, Haz?

9:35 am

72 Temple Owl

9:36 am

montreal13

9:36 am

9:36 am

72 Temple Owl

9:43 am

redturtlehead

Must make coffee immediately.

9:44 am

Angelsong

it really is true: the more you count your blessings, the more blessings you have to count.

9:45 am

Scarlet

It is the being aware of the blessings that puts the harder times in perspective, Angel... you really sound so peaceful.

9:46 am

Angelsong

I am....enfolded in serenity.

9:46 am

Scarlet

Lovely, and inspiring. You are aptly named for your Babble handle.

9:53 am

Lindrickway

9:53 am

Vicuna

The best was when "sorry" was in the grid, and every time someone got scolded they would reply "sorry" and get scolded again.

9:53 am

redturtlehead

bye FM see you later.

9:53 am

Scarlet

:-)

9:53 am

Atalante

or when "grid" is in the grid

9:53 am

redturtlehead

redturtlehead

9:54 am

Lindrickway

9:54 am

rururocks

9:54 am

Vicuna

So droll.

9:54 am

Scarlet

She loves it, red.

9:54 am

redturtlehead

9:55 am

redturtlehead

9:55 am

rururocks

9:55 am

Vicuna

=D

9:55 am

rururocks

poor aloy she kept trying to clue me and finally gave up...lol

9:55 am

9:55 am

silversarah

to avoid it :P

9:56 am

silversarah

its hrd

9:56 am

rururocks

*****boring!!!!!***

9:56 am

redturtlehead

9:56 am

redturtlehead

more fun.

9:56 am

redturtlehead

I need to change my Icon, but I am not feeling very Welshy.

9:56 am

Vicuna

Utilizing exclusively sesquidapelian lingusitic formations precludes the penalty box effectively, too.

9:56 am

redturtlehead

Ahh, I know.

9:56 am

Scarlet

Here, red... have a leek!

9:57 am

Scarlet

Vicuna, Buckley has gone on to the great Thesaurus in the sky

I am not getting much of a flow from this grid. I have 81 words found, and have to list really early today.

10:17 am

Lindrickway

I know what it's like seain, I am just recovering from Whooping cough!

10:17 am

72 Temple Owl

*waves at all* POOF!

10:17 am

silversarah

i know what you mean scarlet

10:17 am

silversarah

byeee

10:18 am

Scarlet

Whooping cough? Wow, Lindrick, I thought that disease had been eradicated. Shows how naive I am.

10:18 am

Scarlet

LOL, silversarah... some days, it just pays to give in a bit.

10:19 am

Lindrickway

I think it almost was Scarlet, but there has been an epidemic here in Toronto apparently

10:19 am

dcseain

scarlet, this one flows in fits and starts

10:19 am

Lindrickway

I have had it for 3 months so far!!

10:19 am

dcseain

whooping cough! my goodness

10:19 am

Lindrickway

lol

10:20 am

Scarlet

Oh, my goodness, Lindrick. That is really awful. Sounds very much like New York City having to deal with some virulent tuberculosis outbreaks... the antibiotic-resistant strains... that is awful for you.

10:20 am

Lindrickway

I have never been ill in my life and now i am getting it all in one go!

10:20 am

Lindrickway

Well i don't feel ill anymore, I am just left with an horrendous cough that makes my ribs ache

10:21 am

72 Temple Owl

*pokes head in as she returns to get breakfast dishes* outbreak here, too

10:21 am

pinkhatlil

hello everyone!!

10:21 am

Scarlet

Is there any real treatment for it, Lindrick?

10:21 am

Scarlet

Oh, no, Owl... I hadn't heard of that.

10:21 am

Lindrickway

nothing at all

10:21 am

Lindrickway

I am just living on Halls cough sweets!!

10:21 am

72 Temple Owl

along with flu and "para-influenza"

10:22 am

72 Temple Owl

fairly localized, we are told, but lindrick is making me wonder

10:22 am

Lindrickway

lol

10:22 am

Scarlet

No wonder I really dislike dealing with crowds... I won't even go to the ballpark anymore...

10:23 am

Lindrickway

the mean thing is Scarlet with whooping cough you are contagious only up to the point of diagnosis basically, so you pass it on before you even know what it is!

10:24 am

Lindrickway

Then when you find out you have it, you are cleared to go anywhere!

10:24 am

Scarlet

Typhoid Marys all over the creation...

10:24 am

72 Temple Owl

either dpt shots have worn off, or chldren are no longer getting them

10:24 am

dcseain

influenza B is rampant around here, and we have one of the nation's highets TB rates, too, including being one of teh origin points for a strain of drug-resistant TB

10:25 am

72 Temple Owl

outbreaks here are in scholls

10:25 am

Haz1558

I've got my mask on.

10:25 am

redturtlehead

children do still get the dpt, they have to have it for school.

10:25 am

Lindrickway

Glad i am in the frozen northe then Seain

10:25 am

Haz1558

Alcohol gel, anyone?

10:25 am

Lindrickway

Oh yes please Haz

10:26 am

72 Temple Owl

no thanks, i think i'll just retreat to my bubble. like bubble boy.

10:26 am

redturtlehead

but, sometimes they do not work. I know right now I am not immune to measles,I need to get revaccinated...

10:26 am

Scarlet

Many of our schools have shut down due to Influenza B... I don't "get" the outbreaks... has Whooping Cough mutated to the extent that the vaccinations no longer are effective?

10:26 am

redturtlehead

and TB, just so you know, is really really hard to get...

10:26 am

Scarlet

LOL, Owl... same here...

10:26 am

Haz1558

I think it's too late for you, Lindrick!

10:26 am

redturtlehead

Most of what I am seeing in kids is Croup, which is contagious, btu not vacciened against.

10:26 am

Lindrickway

Vaccinations only last for so long and I had mine about 35 years ago Scarlet

10:27 am

Lindrickway

Aaaawww meanie Haz!!

10:27 am

72 Temple Owl

red i croup para influenza?

10:27 am

redturtlehead

Mine areupdated almost too frequently...

10:27 am

dcseain

i know TB is not that easy to catch, red. Were it, we'd all have it, i'm sure.

10:27 am

redturtlehead

croup is a viral illness that causes the barky cough in kiddos, it causes anarrowing of their airway...

10:28 am

Scarlet

Oh, Lindrick... I am only a few minutes younger than the Himalayas... I'd better think about a re-up on the vaccinations...

10:28 am

redturtlehead

Go Scarlet go!!

10:28 am

Scarlet

LOL, red!

10:29 am

Lindrickway

All this talk of illness. Can we go back to the subject of alcohol please?

10:29 am

Lindrickway

10:29 am

redturtlehead

I am a fan ofvacciantions, even though clearly mine didn't take.

10:29 am

redturtlehead

10:29 am

redturtlehead

I have None.

10:30 am

Lindrickway

oh are you still babbling red?!!

10:30 am

Scarlet

Haz will be able to talk through her mask and alcohol-cleansed hands, red!

10:30 am

Lindrickway

I have been far too busy talking!!

10:30 am

11:14 am

Scarlet

Good shopper! :-)

11:15 am

KatieMcG

pe** you really are needing some shopping lessons :-)

11:15 am

Scarlet

LOL... katie... she knows how to stretch it!!

11:15 am

phaeton

if no one needs clues, i'll head out

11:15 am

periwinkle

I am very frugal when it comes to shopping. I want to get the most for my money

11:15 am

KatieMcG

Bye phaeton

11:16 am

Scarlet

Thank you, phaeton... have a good day! Be well.

11:16 am

KatieMcG

If I went shopping and came back having spent $7 H2B would be calling in the doctors

11:16 am

phaeton

whooosh.........byeeeeeeeee

11:16 am

Scarlet

My first question is always: "Do I need it?" Then, "Will I still have it in a year or ten years?"

11:16 am

KatieMcG

I had a limit of Â£150 last weekend and still went over!

11:16 am

I was actually looking for dark jeans or khakis but didn't see anything that I liked

bub bye phaeton

11:16 am

Scarlet

LOL, katie!!

11:16 am

JBV

hi, red - that e word (with the newborn root) is from latin and refers to matrilineal descent -

11:17 am

Book Doctor Gwen

first rule: never buy furniture or clothing retail! LOL

11:17 am

Scarlet

EXACTLY, Gwen!!

11:17 am

periwinkle

*lessons* even

11:17 am

KatieMcG

ahhhhh Pe** that makes sense, it is the law of having money. If you don't have any to spend you will see loads, as soon as you can afford to buy something it will all have gone

11:17 am

JBV

if you substitute ag for the e - it means a person related by patrilineal descent - I find these so interesting

11:18 am

periwinkle

I never pay retail for anything. Always go to the clearance section first

11:18 am

KatieMcG

Lol pe** you may well be right ;-)

11:18 am

Scarlet

But then, maybe it wasn't meant to be in the first place, katie!~

periwinkle

I don't buy used underwear or swimsuits.

11:19 am

Scarlet

Hi, Farruska!! Welcome back from the brink!!

11:19 am

KatieMcG

I actually shop much less now (hard to believe) a few years ago I wouldn't have thought twice about spending Â£150 on one handbag.

11:19 am

pabtrek

first rh7 please

11:20 am

Farruska

thank you :) I've already signed up for the pro (in my time there wasn't the pro option), might as well now try the board every day ^_^

11:20 am

JBV

ep + 3 lettter word for poem

11:20 am

KatieMcG

I give all my stuff I don't need to Mari, who takes what she wants, then passes to my Sister-in-law who does the same and the rest goes to charity shops, I like to think some good is coming from my shopping :-)

11:20 am

mattygroves

Got that one

11:20 am

Haz1558

rh7 - first letters of Gershwin's Blue or QUeen's Bohemian delight, follow with Scots 'to possess'

11:20 am

mattygroves

It's the 5/16 - the second one

11:20 am

Scarlet

Welcome to the loony bin then, Farruska! It is delightful here!

11:21 am

pabtrek

thanks Haz, odd word

11:21 am

Book Doctor Gwen

right now wearing used pants, used slippers, hand-me-down shirt . . .

11:21 am

Queenruejean

Matty, ep plus a coal carrier. Plus plural.

11:21 am

JBV

sorry, matty - don't have that yet

11:21 am

Haz1558

Isn't it? rh6 takes one vowel away, the second rh7 becomes a plural.

11:21 am

Book Doctor Gwen

haz, excellent clue, TY

11:21 am

JBV

got it - just add a 2 letter tile after ep and delete last vowel

11:21 am

mattygroves

Thankee guys

11:21 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, BDG.

11:21 am

pabtrek

yes have those, just couldnt' figure out that first one

11:22 am

Haz1558

No problem, pabtrek.

11:22 am

Book Doctor Gwen

Ty haz, two more silly words got

11:23 am

Haz1558

I think they're the strangest of the grid, so you're on the home straight.

11:23 am

Scarlet

Thank you, Haz. That is also new to me, and very difficult to find.

11:24 am

Kazozz

I still cant find it even with the exc clue lol wahhh

11:24 am

crpw48

hi everyone

11:24 am

dcseain

hey, any of the rest of yall in the States remember this style dairy queen sign? http://tinyurl.com/2sv6t7

11:25 am

periwinkle

can't find the rh words even with clues

11:25 am

Scarlet

Good day to you, drp!

11:25 am

Scarlet

Make that, crp!

11:25 am

harpjane

hello

11:25 am

crpw48

lol, hi scarlet

11:25 am

KatieMcG

I going to take a break now and go and feed Mari's cats, might be back later, if not have a good weekend all

11:25 am

dcseain

1st rh7 is a latin plural of a babbler

11:25 am

dcseain

hello, crpw

11:26 am

Book Doctor Gwen

forgot to change my icon from yester, there

11:26 am

saphyre

My new icon is a picture of Xena my puppy - She is 3 months old now

11:26 am

dcseain

u 2 katie, maybe catch you later.

11:26 am

Scarlet

AT least you can laugh, crp... not every Babbler has a sense of humor about a crunched spelling of his or her name...:-)

11:26 am

Haz1558

rh7 - the first. Think of Queen's song, Bohemian rh******. Use the first four letters, then Scots 'to own' or possess.

11:26 am

Scarlet

Later, katie... see you soon!

11:26 am

periwinkle

which babbler would that be dc?

11:26 am

crpw48

hi dc, cant believe i just got here and have to give up the computer to my grandson, bbl

11:27 am

periwinkle

don't know the song you are referring to Haz

11:27 am

dcseain

typical that somehow, crpw

11:27 am

Haz1558

The last two letters are vowels, and used in latin plural (fem) endings.

11:27 am

Scarlet

T.F.T. Haz... LOL

11:27 am

Haz1558

Okay, try Gerswin's rh****** in blue?

11:27 am

Haz1558

Or, mix up the letters of the angel's instrument and carry on...

11:27 am

periwinkle

that song I know, Haz, still looking

11:28 am

pabtrek

fireworks, time to try the ironsudoku

11:58 am

how is everyone today

autumn moon

Citronella

The citronella plant is called by many different names, but technically it is called Pelargonium citriodorum (lemon scented geranium). Geraniums like a loamy soil that is well drained and enriched with bone meal. Don't use too much nitrogen or your plant will have lots of leaf growth and no flowers. The citronella plant likes lots of sun and a temperature of between 50 and 60 degrees F. When the pot they are in gets root bound, you can transplant it into a pot a size or two larger. The soil should be kept moist but not wet. When you do water, saturate the whole root ball. If the plant is growing leggy (as happens in the winter) you can pinch back the top growth, which will spur the plant into growing out, more than up. When bringing geraniums in for the winter, you should cut the plants way back and pot them up (if not already in a pot). Water them sparingly till they send out new growth in the late winter. They should also be kept where the temperature is not too high.

Just having a grand old time here, LOL

12:38 pm

aprilrain

I should go-- I told myself I'd stop and go be productive when I was halfway done. Except I'm more than halfway done and I don't see any productivity lying around

12:38 pm

carleekat

eh... if u can't laugh about stuff like that..well then ur have ur head way up the posterior sphincter

12:38 pm

Scarlet

Welcome to the Cuckoo's Nest, april... it gets you and never lets go... LOL

12:38 pm

Scarlet

Exactly, kat! '

12:38 pm

carleekat

damn..head not in the grid today..bummer

12:39 pm

Uniquity

I only have 42 words, productivity is a LONG day off still!

12:39 pm

aprilrain

that'd save you some proctology fees if you ever needed a colonoscopy, carleekat

12:39 pm

Scarlet

Why on earth did Lori tell you it was easy today, Uni?

12:39 pm

carleekat

true enough..... I just rather prerend to be a snob and get paid for it..then actually be a snob..fortunately for me I have the perfectly shaped nose to pull it off with a straight face

12:40 pm

nancethefan

i think this is a difficult grid - buy i'm just saying

12:40 pm

Uniquity

I don't know...she said she flew through it! We tend to disagree, however...

12:40 pm

aprilrain

that's pretty brilliant, carleekat

12:40 pm

carleekat

i'm only up to 56 words..mind I haven't spent any time on it...

12:40 pm

Scarlet

Wow... that's deep, kattie!

12:41 pm

carleekat

yea...deep in pig poop <giggle>

12:41 pm

Scarlet

Maybe she just flew through it, Uni. The other day, people were complaining that it was hard, and I flew over it very quickly.

12:41 pm

carleekat

that would almost make me..a prig..oops..I just let a word slip..my bad

12:41 pm

aprilrain

I thought the one on Thursday was rather simple

12:41 pm

Scarlet

Thanks, kat... didn't have that one!

12:42 pm

carleekat

i aim to serve...

12:42 pm

nancethefan

ty carlee

12:42 pm

carleekat

darn..serve not in the grid either

12:42 pm

Scarlet

And you discharge your duties exquisitely, then, kat!

12:42 pm

Farruska

how do ou even get those words :)

12:42 pm

Uniquity

two days ago I flew and she sauntered..i guess it is payback time

12:42 pm

Farruska

do you know the vocabulary practice - donate rice game ?

12:42 pm

Scarlet

What words, Farruska?

12:43 pm

Scarlet

Right, Uni!

12:43 pm

carleekat

oh..red dropped a word..i'm contagious

12:43 pm

Scarlet

Yes, many of us love it, and it helps the world, Farruska!

12:43 pm

Farruska

words like prig :)

12:43 pm

java2

Free rice?

12:43 pm

aprilrain

Farruska-- sometimes if you don't know the word you can use the word list to figure out what it has to be mathematically. Or maybe I'm the only one who does that because I am a nerd and such

12:43 pm

Scarlet

Right, java.

12:44 pm

Farruska

yes, free rice :) play it every day

12:44 pm

carleekat

( we're all closet nerds april )

12:44 pm

Scarlet

Many of use the mathematical help too, april. It helps.

12:44 pm

carleekat

red still doesn't notice she droppde a word...<giggle>

12:44 pm

praise2him

clue for the de6 please?

12:44 pm

Farruska

aprilrain, you're not the only one ;-) I'm a mathematician (university) and when I'm stuck I alwyas go with the logic approach :D

12:44 pm

aprilrain

I'm rather out of the closet, carleekat. I couldn't hide it for long.

12:45 pm

Scarlet

Okay, kattie... lob snowballs at my head!!

12:45 pm

lynxxx

Just google Free Rice. I found it a bit boring after a few days but it was fun

12:45 pm

Scarlet

You HAVE to use logic, or else you would flounder... or be an absolute genius to start....

12:45 pm

aprilrain

de6 is what the police are doing to you when they put you in a jail cell because you've been drinking too much and you have to lseep it off.

12:45 pm

lynxxx

de6 to hold in custody or just plain hold back

12:45 pm

java2

there's always a word I don't know...and donating doesn't hurt a bit

12:45 pm

carleekat

*** giggle*** I am contagious..i am contagious

12:46 pm

nancethefan

thank you lynx

12:47 pm

Scarlet

Too late, Uni... she needs to be water-boarded...

12:47 pm

nancethefan

LOL

12:48 pm

carleekat

i think it woul dbe fun one day if we all used words we found in chat....just dropped them all in there...without teling anyone

12:48 pm

Farruska

out of curiosity, how many of you here who's mother language is not English ?

12:48 pm

carleekat

the obscure ones woul dbe obvious...but the common ones... I think it would be rather funny for 1 day

12:49 pm

Scarlet

There are many, Farruska... some from the Netherlands, whose English is more advanced than native speakers.

12:49 pm

aprilrain

some words are rather hard to use in chat. . . because some words are rather obscure. I clicked on the definition for one of them the other day, and it was something like a word used in india to describe something that traps elephants. I'm pretty sure I'd never use that

12:49 pm

carleekat

yea..i know...but words like then... great etc....

12:49 pm

carleekat

u would just use them...

12:49 pm

Scarlet

We have one Canadian... not carleekat... whose mother tongue is French, but who speaks perfect, and advanced, English

12:49 pm

lynxxx

the El****nt swings *is trunk

12:50 pm

java2

Maybe it's already been used a lot - do you see any elephants around your house?

12:50 pm

dcseain

farruska, there are quite a few non-native english speakers on between flip and about 5h after it, from holland, sweden, germany, pakistan, among other places.

12:50 pm

Uniquity

Are you talking about Monty, Scarlet? Your lover man?

12:50 pm

dcseain

oh, and canada

12:50 pm

Scarlet

Yes, dear Lucien!

12:50 pm

carleekat

hehehe <gigglle> staying away from THAT comment wth 200 ft pole

12:51 pm

Farruska

:D interesting, people from all over. I'm portuguese, living in germany ^_^

12:51 pm

dcseain

carlee, marhaban, you seem to be all atwitter today.

12:51 pm

Uniquity

Many French Canadians have passable to perfect English

12:51 pm

Scarlet

April, you mean the kheda? Then we have the Falklands' penguin, the Gentoo~

12:51 pm

carleekat

i'm just waiting to go to a job interview seain

12:51 pm

dcseain

true uni, but English is not always a first languge for all of them, though most do learn from a very young age.

12:52 pm

carleekat

and hawian goose nene

12:52 pm

aprilrain

that was probably it, scarlet. You must be a genius for remembering such things

12:52 pm

Uniquity

My province is very French and most frenchies are raised in english speaking households...i can understand french but not communicate it back. NS is full of give and take

12:52 pm

Scarlet

No, but I do love words... they have,...a... "taste" to them, April.

12:53 pm

aprilrain

Are you synaesthesic?

12:53 pm

aprilrain

I might have spelled that wrong

12:53 pm

dcseain

i can understand the French also, but can't cummuniacte back well.

12:53 pm

Scarlet

Yes! How astute you are, april.

12:53 pm

Scarlet

Synesthesia

12:53 pm

dcseain

don't forget all the yiddish and french that appears in the grid.

12:53 pm

carleekat

and scots

12:54 pm

aprilrain

My friend is synesthesic with colors and words/letters. My name is purple!

12:54 pm

aprilrain

my real name, i mean

12:54 pm

Scarlet

Many Scottish usages...

12:54 pm

onyx

then there's the babble words that aren't in the dictionary

12:54 pm

Farruska

in my country children are raised in portuguese only, we do have English or French when we reach the age of 10. I had French at 10 and English officially at 15 although I self taught me at age of 4 . Now I'm stuck with German :-D

12:54 pm

carleekat

my finnish friend is too red... with colours... how funny

12:54 pm

Scarlet

kattie, to me, is the fragrance of coffee, April... all people have a sound and a flavor...

12:55 pm

Scarlet

Wow, kat... that is amazing... maybe a cultural and heritage inborn factor...

12:55 pm

aprilrain

Is that why you're scarlet? Does it taste good?

12:55 pm

Uniquity

That's so cool, Red!

12:55 pm

carleekat

perhaps... I tend to see colours around people... in person...

12:56 pm

Scarlet

No, I am Scarlet because my daughter (1812 Overture) (brilliant yellow) named the handle here first, and gave me the site.

12:56 pm

carleekat

( now red...am I coffee as in kattie..or my actual name?)

12:56 pm

Uniquity

Now I want to meet you Scarlet, so I can be classified

12:57 pm

aprilrain

good deal, scarlet

12:57 pm

Scarlet

Coffee-kattie... jelly nougat C-name!

12:57 pm

carleekat

cool... hehehe

12:57 pm

aprilrain

what's april?

12:57 pm

Scarlet

LOL, Uni... believe it or not... you are already related to mint and technorock.

12:58 pm

carleekat

hahaha.....

12:58 pm

carleekat

i don't want to go primp for interview..am having too much fun ehre

12:58 pm

carleekat

here * even

12:58 pm

Uniquity

...Well, I think you should be hired by someone for profiling....mint is my favorite "flavor", always has been and I am sure by rock tendencies precede me...

12:59 pm

Scarlet

April is a warm wheat field, and Tchaikovsky...Journey Through the Snow...

12:59 pm

Scarlet

Well then, Uni... you speak, my synesthesia listens... LOL

12:59 pm

carleekat

and see..i love coffe... and cappacino... and my walls are even painted a coffee brown..and I am wearing coffee brown to my nterview today

12:59 pm

aprilrain

I like it, Scarlet :-D

1:00 pm

Farruska

profiling ? can you profile me ? :->

1:00 pm

aprilrain

for me-- some words have textures, but not all of them and I can't describe them because it's not a verbal or image thing

1:00 pm

praise2him

wow scarlet--how about me??

1:00 pm

aprilrain

and i'm not really sure it qualifies as synesthesia

1:01 pm

Scarlet

I only have a basic "sense" of you, Farruska... chocolate... gentle sounds interrupted by thunder and lightning sometimes...

1:01 pm

carleekat

words have a rhythmn for me.......a tempo... a caddence...its the movement of a different word that I use to remember

1:01 pm

Uniquity

I have always had mental quirks, but despite my readings on synaesthesia I have yet to devleop an extra sense. I have the family intuitions though...my dreams and feelings are very important and I try to listen to myself.

1:02 pm

Farruska

@Scarlet :D very well :-) quite close in fact

1:02 pm

aprilrain

That's cool too uniquity

1:02 pm

Scarlet

It is not a developed sense, Uni... as a youngster, I was considered quite "odd".... LOL, Farruska...

1:02 pm

Uniquity

When I was younger I had an OCD quality where I would think sentences only if they followed a grouping of four syllables. Had to multiply by three or four...spent ages doing that. I think I might just have been bored though!

1:02 pm

carleekat

red...odd...red...odd...nah..can't see it <giggle>

1:02 pm

autumn moon

well, stopping at 59 and will be back later. Off to knit for a while.

1:02 pm

Scarlet

*BRAT!!*

1:02 pm

aprilrain

I wonder if games like this draw a high proportion of "quirky" people, or if everyone has their own quirk like that and you don't know until you discuss it in this sort of context

1:03 pm

Scarlet

See you soon, autumn!!

1:03 pm

aprilrain

later autumn!

1:03 pm

nancethefan

bye autumn - take care

1:03 pm

carleekat

1:03 pm

@Scarlet , I had that classification too for other type of sensitivity

1:03 pm

carleekat

later autumn

1:03 pm

Scarlet

FArruska, anything you can talk about in an open forum?

1:04 pm

carleekat

april..i think... everyone is different in a different way..and most of us here... "nkow" eachother pretty well

1:04 pm

aprilrain

I'm really quirky to the extent that i don't fit in with my peers, but i got invited to go out with some people from one of my university classes this week and that made me very very happy :-D It's fun being normal!

1:04 pm

carleekat

anyway...i HAVE to go primp

1:04 pm

carleekat

take care all... interview at 2 babble time...

1:05 pm

carleekat

normal is BORING..bye *poof*

1:05 pm

Uniquity

April, I am only 19 but have NEVER got along with people of my own age group. Only older and younger...I gravitate toward children and the elderly as I feel they are easiest to communicate with

1:05 pm

carleekat

ok.....that me to uni...

1:05 pm

carleekat

TOO*

1:05 pm

Uniquity

And books! I have always absorbed myself in books

1:05 pm

carleekat

1:06 pm

carleekat

go primp

1:06 pm

aprilrain

1:06 pm

carleekat

1:06 pm

carleekat

nancethefan

hey dc

1:07 pm

dcseain

hola, nance

1:08 pm

Scarlet

The mystical individuals gravitate toward one another, that is true, seain.

1:08 pm

Uniquity

I have found a small group of people my own age that I can spend time with, but I don't identify with their interests or opinions at all...I tend to be the voice of reason and maturity, lol

1:08 pm

nancethefan

lol

1:08 pm

Atalante

wait. whoa. UNI? voice of reason and maturity?

1:08 pm

nancethefan

hey atalante

1:08 pm

aprilrain

what do you mean by mystics, seain?

1:08 pm

dcseain

loredana last night was surprised to learn that several of us are shamans.

1:09 pm

Uniquity

I know, doesn't that shock you Ata? But yet, I am..outside of babble. This is my wonderland...I always feel like Alice here!

1:09 pm

Atalante

me too, really, Uni :)

1:09 pm

dcseain

april, by mystics, i mean we encompass a wide range of spritiuality, not all the same, that focus on the esoteric aspects of the divine, and direct conection with the divine.

1:10 pm

aprilrain

interesting

1:10 pm

nancethefan

man, it's getting heavy in here - lol

1:10 pm

dcseain

we have belief in a wide variety of paranormal things, which we percieve as normal, many, but not all, of us are animists.

1:10 pm

Scarlet

It has to be the "connectedness" that is not easily definable...

1:10 pm

Uniquity

Well, I must say I find that a difficult concept to wrap my head around as I feel it would be a very personal and individuated "experience" but sounds very..satisfying, I guess is the best word

1:11 pm

evanonut

like me, i'm abby normal

1:11 pm

dcseain

indeed, scarlet.

1:11 pm

nancethefan

hey evan

1:11 pm

dcseain

and we love you for it, nut :)

1:11 pm

Scarlet

SEE?? It's the nutness... speaking of the odd and off-the-wall.

1:11 pm

Uniquity

He's not heavy, he's my brother? LOL. That song drives me loopy, but...

1:11 pm

evanonut

i'm definitely off the wall, i have a hard time standing on the wall

1:11 pm

aprilrain

Do you mean to tell me that you put an abnormal brain in an EIGHT FOOT MONSTER?!!?

1:12 pm

Scarlet

I am happy for your wall, nut.

1:13 pm

Farruska

1:13 pm

nancethefan

1:13 pm

that was cool-- i just typo'd a word i was trying to put in and successfully added a word!

1:14 pm

dcseain

babble's like that, april

1:14 pm

Uniquity

that is the key to success in here..

1:14 pm

evanonut

oh! i see my favorite revenge of the nerds character!

1:14 pm

nancethefan

this grid is difficult for me - am i thinking too hard?

1:14 pm

1:39 pm

Scarlet

Thank you, Lady!

1:39 pm

dcseain

scarlet, ever read about the saints at vatican.va? The article about Saint Barbara is fascinating, from her origins as a babalonian goddess, and how the folded other goddesses into her, the last one in the netherlands .

1:40 pm

jimmel

thx, dc...one more b4 taking a break...hadn't looked for that one yet

1:40 pm

Scarlet

I was named Barbara at birth, seain... so, I am quite well-acquainted with her, as well as the fact that the Vatican de-mitted her from the saints' pantheon...

1:41 pm

Scarlet

Along with Christopher, I believe, at the same time...

1:41 pm

jimmel

Scarlet, I see you live in Asheville...my bro and his wife are in Hendersonville...and we're near Knoxville (well, not at the moment...we're in FL). I love that area!

1:42 pm

dcseain

yes, rather hypocritical of them, but that's the Church of Rome; pardon my bias.

1:43 pm

LadyNatts

unable to monkey the aa :(

1:44 pm

Scarlet

Wow, mrae... we were in Hendersonville the other day! Yes, I know, seain... no bias, it's an opinion, and one that is shared by others...

1:44 pm

Scarlet

When you see fireworks, you OO*** and AA***

Not really. I have an account, but I have never used it...

2:24 pm

Facebook confuses me.

2:24 pm

redturtlehead

I am clueless there, and I am not sure why.

2:25 pm

Scarlet

I am, Krista... I really don't know this game... I fiddle around with NOggin sometimes, but haven't explored the other games...

2:25 pm

Krista

It's probably the navigation, Red..confuses me at time, too.

2:26 pm

Scarlet

I apologize, Krista... I thought you were talking to me... a few other Babblers call me "red" and...

2:26 pm

Krista

Yes, it's similar to Noggin, Scarlet.

2:26 pm

redturtlehead

Now, Seain that is a wierd pe word...

2:26 pm

redturtlehead

I thought she was talkingto you too, after I answered Scarlet....

2:26 pm

redturtlehead

Perhapswe should segregate our babble time.

2:26 pm

Krista

I thought that was what happened, Scarlet lol

2:26 pm

Scarlet

LOL... what a waltz, red!!

2:26 pm

redturtlehead

;)

2:27 pm

Scarlet

A segregated Babble! NO, no, a thousand times NO!

2:27 pm

Krista

That happens to me and Kristinc when we're on at the same time. I understand!

2:28 pm

redturtlehead

Ok ok , not segregation, we can just be the rosy people.

2:28 pm

Scarlet

Oh, right! WE know who we are... I think...LOL

2:29 pm

redturtlehead

2:30 pm

redturtlehead

2:31 pm

Uniquity

Oh, whew! I was worried I was somehow offensive...cookies are your friend redT! You can run them off...

2:31 pm

Scarlet

It is, to be diplomatic, difficult to keep track of the stream of consciousness posts...

2:31 pm

redturtlehead

my diet is finally working, and I am only 8 pounds away from goal, so cookies, causing meproblems...

2:31 pm

redturtlehead

but I can resist over the internet.

Uniquity

That is amazing redturtle! Such tenacity..

2:32 pm

dcseain

2:32 pm

redturtlehead

2:33 pm

sadie52

2:33 pm

Uniquity

Pop dough in the oven, then fold while they bake...

5:47 pm

KatieMcG

We are obviously on the same wave length lind

5:47 pm

herinfernallady

Katie you know how i was saying that the b.f is hopeless with laundry?

5:47 pm

hillary

et6/21 is a gas, rhymes with cow flatulence

5:47 pm

KatieMcG

What has he done herin?

5:48 pm

rururocks

thank you

5:48 pm

herinfernallady

He cleaned up his area yesturday and i didn't even ask. We both cleaned up together as a team, he even helped me hang out the washing.

5:49 pm

KatieMcG

does he read your post herin? Only joking, I'm glad he's helping out it does make a massive difference

5:49 pm

hillary

the big test is when they go out to see if a garment they're looking for is on the line, whether they come in with just the one garment or whether it occurs to them to bring in the other stuff too.

5:50 pm

herinfernallady

No he doesn't read what i say. He knows that on Monday or Tuesday I vacuum and need the space cleared. He has a scad of books in his spot. Yes we have corners He has his and i have mine

5:50 pm

KatieMcG

lol hillary we've all been there

5:51 pm

herinfernallady

HIllary. I didn't need him to bring in the washing i needed him to help carry out one of the two baskets to save me time and they were kinda heavy

5:51 pm

KatieMcG

herin, corners are quite a good idea, you need some personal space, we have our own rooms, i have a pink girly bedroom fuggy lives in and H2B has his train room.

5:52 pm

hillary

herin i was just extrapolating... you reminded me of this 'learning curve' for both husbands and teenagers

5:53 pm

KatieMcG

should point out that fuggy has a cage in the pink room. Hamster on the loose with 3 kitties wouldn't be a good move!

5:53 pm

rururocks

ne 5/18?

5:53 pm

herinfernallady

We share the lounge its just easier if he has his own spot with all the books and stuff he plays with. then i can go 'Its yours its in that corner don't look at me i didn't move it out of there'

5:53 pm

hillary

ne5/18 is the opposite of old, with a cute ending

5:54 pm

herinfernallady

No that wouldn't be a could idea Hammy on the loose with kitties

5:54 pm

rururocks

Ithough of that.. but dismissed it as not a word

5:54 pm

rururocks

thanks

5:54 pm

herinfernallady

Ru my dear i miss one too many words on the 'not a word' principle

5:55 pm

KatieMcG

5:55 pm

herinfernallady

Awwww cute

5:55 pm

hillary

it's remarkable both what can pass as a word, and what one knows to be a word that the grid insists isn't

5:56 pm

herinfernallady

My cat drags the double blankie across the floor so she can hog the heater its very cute and amazing that she can drag a double blankie

8:00 pm

dcseain

8:00 pm

jesdraggon

but a couple females together, or neuter one of them and they're pretty fun

8:00 pm

8:00 pm

8:05 pm

carleekat

hi dawg...

8:06 pm

dcseain

it's the verb from which the laundry noun is derived; i think it's archaic at this point. "I'm going to go de7 the counters" just isn't said. :)

tygerbryght

well, what clues do you need? :)

10:36 pm

Ankhorite

Nonnie, txs for clue, I would never have gotten that!

10:37 pm

NonnieLight

Just1Mar

heheh to 6,24 and the to 5,14 just below it

10:37 pm

Ankhorite

Thanks, Lindrick, I seem to be fine! But at my age, sterility was not a concern. We were most worried about me passing it to someone younger, but I was isolated quickly enough that the mumps stopped here.

10:37 pm

DR1965

Th4 reminds me, I must sort my Skpye out so I can do a Babblecast or else Nut will have my guts for garters.:/

11:22 pm

Tanja

ty - I have been so busy lately and so frustrated at not getting as far as I like it is a pleasure to finish and it was a good grid too as I found it quite easy

11:22 pm

Jacula

Or even Skype.

11:23 pm

Jacula

Don't ever stress over a grid, Tanja. It's meant to be fun. Some people just come in here for the chat and don't bother with the grid if they don't like the look of it.

11:24 pm

Tanja

oh it is not the grid - it was just the time factor - work and the show and i was sick for a week so huge amount of catch up

11:24 pm

Jacula

We only get annoyed with people if they deliberately post words in the chatlog or or rude, or offensive.

11:25 pm

Just1Mar

I don't stress over it....just wanted to see my name up in lights!

11:25 pm

Jacula

Even then, we mostly do what has to be done with a sense of humour.

11:25 pm

Just1Mar

my 15 min of fame!! :D

11:26 pm

Jacula

LOL, don't we all, Just. They named a film after me (my real name). It was great to see my name up in lights and on bookshelves everywhere!

11:26 pm

Just1Mar

Ohh? care to share??

11:26 pm

Jacula

Pam Grier starred in an adaptation of an Elmore Leonard novel.

11:27 pm

Jacula

Wasn't really about ME. LOL

11:27 pm

Just1Mar

sigh......there she goes again! :D

11:27 pm

Jacula

11:28 pm

Jacula
