12:49 am

Ankhorite

Well, MLF, the Egyptians used the ankh to indicate eternal life. And an anchorite was a Christian hermit of the middle ages. I lumped them together.

Ankhorite

Hi, Autumn.

12:49 am

autumn moon

Fran was on FB earlier

12:51 am

Just1Mar

Hi Autumn....did you join the facebook group to help free Brenda Martin?

12:51 am

Ankhorite

Ank means nothing in voodoo. The voodoo word the dictionary doesn't accept is "loas" -- the spirits of voodoo. Loa, loas.

12:51 am

autumn moon

no I didn't join that group

12:52 am

Erda

So "ank" means nothing at all, right?

12:52 am

Just1Mar

Do you know about her plight?

12:52 am

autumn moon

lode

12:52 am

autumn moon

12:52 am

Douglas

Brenda Martin?

Erda

Oh, I see...and here I thought I learned a new word!!

1:36 am

nancethefan

so hillary - how do you find time to play babbler while you are off running for president - i noticed the flag - you weren't born in the USA?

1:36 am

Jandy

I find lots of inconsistencies like that, Volley.... or maybe I'm just a shocking speller!

1:36 am

lynxxx

maybe you were being confused with the person who 'took' your money, the vendor

1:41 am

nancethefan

hey douglas

1:41 am

Douglas

Hello lynxxx! Hello nance!

1:41 am

Jandy

True, but then he looks good. We'd slag off at him if HE wore pants suits from Target.

1:41 am

VolleymomDee

lol douglas, me too

1:43 am

Jandy

.... especially if he wore women's pantsuits from Target, thinking more about it....

1:43 am

nancethefan

lol douglas - she just may be - hillary here may be pretending she's from australia = do you have any compaign questions you would like her to answer. Jandy already asked about her pant suits - lol

1:44 am

hillary

he might get more of the san francisco vote...

1:44 am

nancethefan

1:48 am

Jandy

Clever!

1:48 am

nancethefan

i must stop chatting - i only have 7 words so far

1:49 am

Douglas

Where does Hillary Clinton get her sense of entitlement from? Why does she think she should lead the free world when she has had zero executive experience? Why does she consider it beneath her to divulge her tax returns and earmark requests?

1:49 am

Jandy

ou7 - went faster than others by equine power or similar

1:49 am

lynxxx

Hil seems to have upset a lot of Americans lately

1:50 am

Jandy

Do you think living in the White House might have had something to do with that, Douglas?

1:50 am

nancethefan

i believe that's they way things are done in arkansas - lol

1:50 am

Douglas

Someone, at Daily Kos, no less, said that saying Hillary has executive experience is like saying Yoko Ono was a Beatle.

1:51 am

o-o

are we going to argue politics here?

1:52 am

lynxxx

Hi BabRab

1:52 am

Jandy

Oh, no, let's not... let's just stick to making fun of her clothes! Then noone will get upset!

1:52 am

hillary

please let's not!

1:52 am

Jandy

And it's fun....

1:52 am

jillibus

I'm not. I'm going to bed, lol. 48 left and NBT.

1:52 am

nancethefan

lol - now yoko ono - that's an entirely different subject that i even know less about - i always felt she was a nut

1:52 am

Douglas

We were conducting a thought experiment BR, that the hillary in the chat log is actually Hillary Clinton...

1:52 am

Jandy

And hello, young Babble Rabble. How the heck are you?

1:52 am

o-o

I am pefectly willing to debate anyone

1:53 am

1:54 am

nancethefan

night jilli - sleep tight

1:54 am

nancethefan

hey br

1:54 am

Ankhorite

...and saying I supported Hillary for more than 20 years, she grew up three miles from my mother's house, and I am NOT going to vote for her this fall...not after the chaos in her campaign, and the terrible depths to which she has sunk in terms of false statements.

1:55 am

Ankhorite

:) But I'm not debating, just saying! And now, unless someone can clue the se5's for me, I'm headed to bed.

Stewart great, he wasn't much impressed by some training 'we' got this week. He doesn't quite get why he was rocked backward and forward with people saying 'sit' to him - ?? - he 'drops' but sit is quite difficult for greys

2:20 am

Jandy

Great mental picture, lynxxx... Stewart with quizzical look on face at centre of something resembling a gentle exorcism....

2:20 am

redturtlehead

Jandy, it IS a terrible habit.

redturtlehead

4:05 am

hillary

Oh mrp you really are having a terrible year again

5:41 am

redturtlehead

Family Mr P....can be difficult.

5:41 am

sprite

he blamed you for... being in the hospital? For him not calling or writing or visiting you? Tsk.

5:41 am

redturtlehead

and you certainly dont get to choose them.

5:41 am

mrpresident

they sure can be! they can be right idiots at times

5:41 am

Frances

Thanks red - nI have the en7

5:41 am

redturtlehead

Oh this grid has just become very hard for me 51 left.

5:41 am

mrpresident

hey, I come from a long line of idiots! I am idiotic myself!

5:42 am

sprite

but idiocy comes in gradations

5:42 am

caitlyn

mrp I have a brother that I havent had contact with for 7 years my mum breaks her heart about it

5:43 am

caitlyn

He decided to cut himself off from the family

5:44 am

sprite

same here with my sister, caitlyn, but my mother loves to add to it. Family can be weird. Richard Bach says: it seldom happens that members of one's real family are born under the same roof :)

5:44 am

mrpresident

cait, my dad is all broken up about my brother and I, but he knows darn well what my brother is about... still, they manage to blame me, cause I brought him up

5:44 am

mrpresident

too right sprite

5:45 am

sprite

same brick wall as I had, red.

5:45 am

caitlyn

Some times people just wont see what is in front of them ..you always hurt the one you love rubbish

5:45 am

mrpresident

I would just like to take the hovercraft (it is fuelled up and waiting in the swamp) and go around the world and visit my friends from babble right now for a hug

5:46 am

sprite

well, best we can do for now is a virtual hug, mrP, but those can be powerful too

5:46 am

caitlyn

(((((((mrp))))))) Just until I can give you a real one

5:46 am

mrpresident

thanks guys! (((hugs back)))

5:47 am

mrpresident

I sent my father a curt email... reminding him of my situation. Will see what comes of it. I want to go to the farm mid April with the kids, but don't care for a lecture.

5:48 am

caitlyn

Oh on the radio they are playinf the Fron Welsh choir singing How Great thou Art ..is wonderful

5:49 am

mrpresident

I am pathetic and weird, but don't want to be so... I will just get through the day... whatever for now

5:49 am

sprite

let them know, only supportive contact is appreciated right now... are they out of their minds....

5:49 am

redturtlehead

Mr P you are OK. You are very strong and can get through this!

5:50 am

mrpresident

sprite, I tried to not speak with them, but Mark insisted I take the phone, then I copped a mouthful about me being so selfish

5:50 am

Andree

i don't think you are pathetic or weird, shit happens in families

5:50 am

caitlyn

mrp I have to remind my mum that I am not 10 years of age..I am a mum ,wife and grandmother and I do not need lectures from her

5:50 am

mrpresident

I yelled like a mad woman at Mark after that... but he understands and was sorry

5:51 am

mrpresident

families are so so so touchy!

5:51 am

phandmd

why isn't tuxedo in here!

5:51 am

sprite

that was not too smart... am sorry you got to listen to that. Wish they would give you strength and support, and not make things worse. But Mark is on your side hun, you know that.

5:51 am

redturtlehead

You don't get to chose them, so oft times they really arent as fuzzy and warm as the commercials make them

5:51 am

mrpresident

I want to let them go so they don't have to suffer this shit, but they choose to stay and ride the wave of poo, even dunking me in it along the way

5:51 am

caitlyn

mrp there is no way are you pathetic or weird so dont say things like that

5:53 am

Buttonman

Morning all, how is the grid

5:53 am

sprite

hi Buttonman, it is fun

5:53 am

caitlyn

Morning button its a good grid

5:53 am

redturtlehead

Hi BUtton it is fast, and then a bit slow... I am suffering with 49 left.

5:53 am

Buttonman

I have 78 to go

5:54 am

mrpresident

I am weird cause this is very very rare to have this disease... I am pathetic for putting up with it for 8 years and not being strong enough to tell the docs, 'enough is enough'... and I think my family 'feels' that, but can't say it to me

5:54 am

Buttonman

Anyone have a clue for the ta 8 please

5:54 am

redturtlehead

Someone with a lot of skill is the ta 8, especiallt in singing or dancing or such Button.

5:55 am

Frances

ta8/45 gifted

5:55 am

caitlyn

YOU ARE STRONG !! And very very brave we all love you mrp!!

5:55 am

mrpresident

thanks turtle :)

5:55 am

sprite

labelling yourself negatively never helps, mrP. If you are so strong you managed for 8 years, perhaps you can decide to use this enormous strength FOR yourself now and make things better for you.

5:56 am

Frances

Well don Andree

5:57 am

mrpresident

Andree, I don't blame myself, so to speak, but I can see how hard it is on the family and they have had enough... it gets to a point that it is ridiculous

5:57 am

sprite

pretty quilt, Frances!

5:57 am

mrpresident

I got to that point a few weeks ago, but have been arrogantly put on hold again. I need to be stronger

5:57 am

Andree

5:58 am

Frances

Mrp don't beat yourself up over this. There are those who don't know how to deal with the suffering of others.

5:58 am

mrpresident

Frances

Mrp you have my utmost sympathy. I fell out with my brother twelve years ago and haven't seen him since. He couldn't cope with the fact that our mother had altzheimers and I was the one looking after her. He just didn't know how to deal with it. I haven't seen him since her funeral.

6:01 am

Buttonman

bye Red

6:02 am

mrpresident

oh frances, people deal with crap in so many different ways, and on so many different levels.
I feel for you hun.

6:02 am

caitlyn

LOL red!

6:04 am

Frances

Thank you mrp. He is my baby brother and I am still very, very proud of him. He is a self made millionaire............even if I don't see him.

6:04 am

sprite

I have been in pain and sh*t for over 12 years now, and my family never gave any help or support, only bad stuff. But my friends made up for that in multitude. Thank God for friends.

redturtlehead

Good Day for Shopping...

6:05 am

sprite

I bet. That hurts like hell. But it is his loss, hun.

6:05 am

mrpresident

6:05 am

mrpresident

I have written to him and let him know how I feel about that... will see now

6:05 am

Frances

Exactly sprite.

Nite mrp. Sleep well. Give your father time to think about what he has said to you. Hopefully he will come round.

6:06 am

sprite

that is what the psychologists call projection, mrP ;)
All he can do now is support you, and if he can't, he is the disappointing one, doing bad by you.

6:06 am

mrpresident

ok, nite nite!
Thanks again for your support! :)

6:07 am

mrpresident

too right sprite, you hit the nail on the head! That is how he is feeling
must go sleep, love to you all :))

6:16 am

redturtlehead

Very strange, Frances. fireworks?

6:17 am

toadandtoadette

I would suppose they were just celebrating that she was safe and alive

11:48 am

DR1965

LoriP

Nahh, I'm allowed to ask, people just aren't gonna' answer!

11:48 am

gramma

Haz, you never need apologize to me. I'm just trying to get out of the squabble talk. Again let's all focus on Me.

11:49 am

LoriP

Same as i can ask someone to lend me $10,000 bucks, you know, on the off chance... :-)

gramma

DR, Don't tell me what to do!

11:51 am

FMitch

You make puppies work!!

11:51 am

Erda

Any time people start beating around the bush like that, it has to do with religion

11:51 am

Haz1558

But you still want clues, don't you, gramma?

11:51 am

gramma

Haz, no thanks. I have enough power ( or too much ) as it is. Stupid family

11:52 am

gramma

Haz, I'm not really there yet. I better get my nose back to the gridstone. Thanks tho

11:52 am

Haz1558

Can we just say clash of personalities and leave it at that?

11:52 am

gramma

FMitch, he's fishing

11:53 am

Haz1558

No problem gramma.

11:53 am

Hursh??? Are you okay?

11:56 am

hurshy

11:57 am

gramma

11:58 am

Deeha, I wish my kids would give me some of theirs

12:34 pm

Deeha

12:34 pm

Atalante

or money keeps the parents coming around. now my mother is officially retired, she assumes I can pay for everything for her. When she can afford world cruises every 6 months, and I don't have a job.

12:35 pm

Atalante

saying that, she did buy me a sandwich last week

12:35 pm

Deeha

But the best quote I saw was 'as you get older you go off sex, your friends drift away and you dont see you kids very often. There are other advantages but they are the main ones'!!

12:37 pm

Atalante

I wouldn't mind in the slightest if I had money, and she didn't. But she does! Much more than I'll ever have!

12:37 pm

12:37 pm

gramma

Atlante, you are so scr****. Bad bad baby

12:37 pm

Atalante

12:39 pm

Deeha

Well, I am going out tonight so I suppose I had better go and tart myself up, that should take the next several hours. Bye all

12:39 pm

Atalante

for example, she goes "oh angst, I have so little money, can you buy this lunch for us? by the way, we're leaving on a world cruise next week"

12:40 pm

phaeton

she actually says "angst"?

12:41 pm

gramma

Deeha, tart yourself up? What do you do at night?

12:41 pm

Atalante

well, thats paraphrasing *giggle* but pretty much!

12:41 pm

Haz1558

Or maybe that's Atalante's real name and we never knew?

12:42 pm

1:05 pm

AsGreen

I'm trying not to use lickety's awesome list until later

1:05 pm

Atalante

we';l leave that up to your conscience

1:06 pm

MLFAN17

an 5/10 and 6/18 are they related?

1:06 pm

Haz1558

People who don't use a list often ask questions of those who do. I don't know if the answer is contaminated or tainted or not.

1:06 pm

AsGreen

gee tx ata! :)

1:06 pm

Haz1558

It really doesn't matter.

1:07 pm

AsGreen

I'm a list user - definitely - just trying to go farther today before opening - I'm 73 words in. Trying the one from each tile before opening - and jamming as many as I can first! :)

1:07 pm

Atalante

just do what is enjoyable for you

1:08 pm

Atalante

(and / or challenging)

1:08 pm

Haz1558

The more you play the more you get to recognise the words so the longer it takes to need to resort to the list. I love the fact that we have a choice.

1:09 pm

Atalante

but at the same time it was fun when we didn't have any lists at all

1:09 pm

MLFAN17

their didnt used to be lists??

1:09 pm

ardilla

just lost cnxn for 20 mins

1:09 pm

Haz1558

The homes for the bewildered used to be full, but theywere happy days.

1:10 pm

Atalante

nope

1:10 pm

KatieMcG

I try to go half way but it depends on how hard/easy it is, how much I am enjoying it and how much time I have. As long as you enjoy the game I don't think it matters when or if you use the lsit

1:10 pm

Haz1558

There used not to be lists. In those days not everybody expected to finish.

1:10 pm

AsGreen

of course it doesn't matter - it's all fun!

1:10 pm

KatieMcG

I remember those days, I only got fireworks when lickety came along :-)

1:10 pm

were their a lot who finished without a list then?

1:10 pm

1:14 pm

3:18 pm

westford

how far from the netherlands is belgium?

3:18 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

quin, You can get lots of clues: click on the tiny green link at the bottom for Lickety's Babble Clues

Lickety gives you the first two letters of each word, plus how many letters in the word, plus the word's point value

The point value sometimes helps you figure out if you need a word with a high-scoring letter in it, and things like that

3:18 pm

Jacula

*Waves to Nut*

3:18 pm

mightyquin

thanx xx

3:18 pm

FMitch

mighty go to licketys list under friends of babble at the bottom of the page and open it in another window.

3:18 pm

Where in Belgium? We share a border. Takes about 3 hours to drive from here to Brussels.

3:19 pm

evanonut

*waves at jac....stops when shoulder cramps up*

3:19 pm

Mighty, under the tile stats is a resource called Lickety's clues, that gives you the first two letters of all the words

3:19 pm

westford

don't know..his whole family is planning a trip to Ireland and they're going to sneak away for a few days to get beer. I'll get more details.

3:20 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

BTW, everyone, if anyone wants a copy, I have a "cheat sheet" showing how the point values clue you to the letters you need, for example: 5,18 = one 5 [narks] or a 4 and a 2 [felid] or a 3 and two 2s [poyou]

3:20 pm

MonkeyGames

My e-mail is kmcoo@chello.nl

She was in Amsterdam a few years ago ..has a friend who lives near the hague

3:21 pm

FMitch

Nut how are you doing and hows hubster?

3:21 pm

MonkeyGames

I lived in Amsterdam for 12 years. We moved to Haarlem 2 years ago. Nice city, about 15 minutes from Amsterdam by train. My husband commutes daily.

3:22 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

wow, public transportation! (Detroit has so little it's laughable)

3:22 pm

westford

Ok, I copied it. I'll write as soon as I find out. they're not home now

3:22 pm

MonkeyGames

This is a public-transport and bike country. My mode of personal transport is a cargo trike with a child seat.

3:22 pm

westford

that's the best thing about Europe..public trans

3:23 pm

MonkeyGames

Thanks, Westford! Could you glance about for th ebeer in the meantime?

3:23 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

you netherlanders are so more advanced that us LOL

3:23 pm

westford

sure granddaughter was just out there in Jan wish I'd known then

3:24 pm

harpjane

hello

3:24 pm

MonkeyGames

The cargo trike is NO fun in a gale-force wind with horizontal hail, trust me. My son's daycare is a half-hour ride away, and it takes longer than that to get back to my school.

3:24 pm

Jacula

Monkey - I was in 'Dam last year and was very impressed with the public transport.... and amazed by all the bikes.

3:25 pm

westford

tell me the name once again please..special edition Frank Zappa from Petaluma?

3:26 pm

Jacula

Hello, Harp.

3:26 pm

FMitch

Amsterdam is a delight to travel round using public transport

3:26 pm

MonkeyGames

The beer is called Lumpy Gravy. It is put out by Lagunitas brewery. It should be obtainable by almost any Cal liquor store or supermarket if it is not already sold out.

3:26 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i was in a city with public transport once. so much nicer than detroit

3:27 pm

westford

great I'll copy it and put it with your email

3:27 pm

MonkeyGames

Amsterdam's great. Haarlem is much like it but less crowded and more relaxed, quite family oriented but still retaining the "cool" stuff about Amsterdam (perhaps explaining some of my typos...)...

3:27 pm

harpjane

the pyramids are lit up right now, www.pyramidcam.com

3:27 pm

FMitch

LOL Lumpy Gravy what a great name.
Gwen that is interesting to hear as in Europe one expect most large towns and cities to have a decent transport system.

3:28 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

ah, but in the Motor City every time a public trans idea comes up, some rich bastard who makes money from the auto industry kills it

3:29 pm

westford

if her college friends can't find it then it doesn't exist

3:29 pm

FMitch

The car is still King

3:29 pm

MonkeyGames

Thank you Westford. We will pay you back or in advaance or whtever we can work out oif they can find some. OK, folks, I know it's only 9:30 in the evening here but I had a long day with an active toddler and should get on with my homework, take the dog out, and go to bed.

3:30 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

detroit boasts of its "people mover" which is an el-train that goes around the central city with about 10 stops. sorry, that's not sufficent. it's really only for casino tourists, not for commutors or anything

3:30 pm

westford

happy to help monkey hope we can do this

3:30 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

they keep trying to kill what little public bus trans we have left. bastards.

3:31 pm

westford

cat is making hungry noises catch you all later

3:31 pm

Denny

I think I must be going mad. I could have sworn I bought some blank dvds so I could record some programes to send to my husband, but I'm blowed if iI can find them!!

3:31 pm

MonkeyGames

Well, it sure is nice of you to even want to bother. I hope it works out too but if it doesn't so it goes. But my husband is such a Zappa fan that our son's middle name is Zappa -- that's what I get gletting him go alone to register the birth!

3:31 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

meow-ow-ow!!!!

3:32 pm

westford

at least it's not Dweezil

3:32 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

denny, did you look inside the piano?

3:32 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

money, cool! what is his first name?

3:32 pm

MonkeyGames

He has more respect for Dweezil since gouing to Zappa plays Zappa, but still, I wasn't worried.

3:32 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i meant monkey, not money

3:33 pm

MonkeyGames

Then there's Ahmet.... He hosts that not-really-robots show, and sad it is...

3:33 pm

Denny

the piano isn't mine - it's my bro's! and they live in london so I don't think they're there!!

3:33 pm

MonkeyGames

Our son's name is Walter Matthew Zappa Hinton Cooper.

3:33 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

3:34 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

MonkeyGames

At the moment he must be addressed as "Boots, the Monkey from Dora". In full.

3:34 pm

3:44 pm

Uneaixoise

they sent me home after 3 days

3:45 pm

Merk

Werd, huh

3:45 pm

periwinkle

yep

3:45 pm

Atalante

oh! ty Une. I was guessing that. Ish. A friend is having one in 2 weeks and is worried she'll be kept in hospital for ever

3:45 pm

harpjane

and I went from 1025 to 1023, Dr. God must have changed the formula from using the past 31 days to using 29, or somethimg

3:45 pm

harpjane

the wrath of dr god, you know

3:45 pm

Uneaixoise

unless she has complications, 3 days will probably be about right . . .

3:46 pm

Lindrickway

was it truly horrendous Une?

3:46 pm

Atalante

oh *good*. and how long before being "normal" ? (if slow and owie)

3:47 pm

periwinkle

do5/14 please

3:47 pm

3:48 pm

thanks inge and Denny

3:48 pm

Atalante

well she had a full back tattoo done without murmuring. I guess her pain threshold is quite high!

3:48 pm

Scrabbler

I got bounced off of the internet. How rude!

3:48 pm

mymuseisme

but I also had another procedure done at the same time

3:48 pm

Lindrickway

wow! I am having an internal one in may Une, having never had surgery before, so I have no idea what to expect

3:48 pm

Uneaixoise

i think she'll do well, ata! LOL

3:49 pm

Scrabbler

I had an abdominal hysterectomy in 2001--in the hospital x 3days, back to work in 3 wks, fully recovered in 6 wks.

3:49 pm

Uneaixoise

surgery's so much less invasive now . . .

3:49 pm

Lindrickway

oh so there is hope for my yet Scrabs!

3:50 pm

Lindrickway

i am having corrective proceedures done at the same time, so recovery may be a little longer

3:50 pm

mymuseisme

I developed a fever, and they wouldn't let me go before a "movement", reason for extra 2 days

3:50 pm

Atalante

ty all, that reassures me!

3:51 pm

Uneaixoise

:-D

3:51 pm

Scrabbler

The keys to recovery--move ASAP (prevent blood clots) and take deep breaths (prevent pneumonia) and get the Foley catheter out of the bladder ASAP (prevent bladder infection). The first day sucks but then it gets better.

3:51 pm

Denny

fireworks for me *does a back flip*..... then crawls back to the settee after outting her back out!!

3:51 pm

Atalante

I will tell her that
