12:01 am

stidmama

12:01 am

VolleymomDee

12:02 am

licketySplitAUS

jillibus - I emailed drgod about a week ago regarding a query as to why his company charged my CC for $66 for no reason. He hasn't replied.

12:02 am

12:03 am

jillibus

still watching the Kipling story on PBS

12:03 am

licketySplitAUS

westford - I don't know why it happened or what it means. My CC company is disputing it on my behalf.

12:04 am

licketySplitAUS

12:04 am

westford

I hope you get compensated

12:04 am

stidmama

VolleymomDee

12:05 am

Ping

12:05 am

licketySplitAUS

westford - it would be interesting to work out how I have helped cover his costs

12:06 am

VolleymomDee

you make this game so much more fun and less stressful!! We really appreciate you.

12:06 am

dart001

ty lickety

12:06 am

licketySplitAUS

I've always promoted people to go Pro

12:06 am

westford

I agree with dee

12:07 am

jillibus

Dr_G should appreciate you and how many people have stayed with this game because of you

12:07 am

westford

I'd be a goner without your help

12:07 am

VolleymomDee

ditto that west

12:07 am

VolleymomDee

and jili

12:08 am

torgone

Lickety! You rock!!!!!1

12:08 am

jillibus

and yes, Lickety, you have indeed promoted the Go Pro, for Dr_G's benefit, not yours

12:08 am

justafreep

i agree with all Lickety

12:09 am

Jellen

me too

12:09 am

justafreep

and I'd bet you it's some oddball thing unrelated to Dr_G... and somehow Dr.G just hasn't seen/dealt yet

12:09 am

justafreep

cuz it seems utterly out of character

12:09 am

stidmama

I am down to 100! I think I am going to go, with a sad heart that things are not going well and hoping that things get fixed and settled soon. {{{lickety}}}

12:09 am

stidmama

I'll see you-all soon. *poof*

12:10 am

jillibus

bye stid

12:10 am

licketySplitAUS

Well - the last time we communicated was when I gave him Babble Expert (not on his request), and he comment was : "I did get a chance to download and play with it last night. I've never really used your site so I wasn't sure how it works, so therefor I really didn't understand how the BabbleBrowser worked either. I played around with it for a few minutes and couldn't really get it to do anything. I guess I'm just confused. 8{"

12:11 am

jillibus

only ONE A word!!!

12:11 am

westford

not very good comments

12:11 am

jillibus

Confused indeed!

12:11 am

licketySplitAUS

Don't think he has much of a connect with you all.

12:12 am

jillibus

What a damn shame

12:12 am

VolleymomDee

maybe everyone who uses Babble Expert should send emails of "Kudos to Lickety" to drg

12:13 am

Ping

i think babble expert makes babble a better game

12:13 am

westford

that would be a good idea

12:13 am

licketySplitAUS

He did sorta admit that I might be generating more Pro users : "Yes. That usually happens when I send out a mailing, which I did recently about the Last.fm and Flickr stuff, but it could also be because of Babble Expert. I'm not sure."

12:13 am

jillibus

Everyone who uses Lickety's list should too! I guess Dr_G hasn't a clue

12:13 am

westford

I have a mac but I can still say good things about the list

12:13 am

VolleymomDee

fa 7 x 2

12:14 am

westford

as soon as herin gets back on line we should get her to speak to drgod

12:14 am

VolleymomDee

sounds like he may have a bit of an ego issue

12:14 am

westford

you think dee?

12:15 am

VolleymomDee

:~)

12:15 am

jillibus

why herin? she's nowhere near him

12:15 am

licketySplitAUS

Oh and then later on I quizzed him about that site that put all the answers up and he said this : "Babblesolver.com has actually been around for awhile. I haven't given it much attention. People are gonna do what they're gonna do. As long as the Babble community stay intact, I'll feel good."

12:15 am

westford

she's give him what for

12:15 am

licketySplitAUS

So he does care!

12:16 am

westford

I meant she'll give him 'what for'

12:16 am

VolleymomDee

that's a positive then... perhaps, he is involved in some big project and just hasn't had time to address your emails... let's all hope that is true

12:16 am

licketySplitAUS

babblesolver.com seems to have died since then though

12:17 am

westford

what's the fun in that anyway?

12:17 am

licketySplitAUS

yeah volley - I'm not thinking the worst, but it might be a good idea for others to check for rogue transactions

12:17 am

jillibus

just went there and it has nothing to do with us now

12:18 am

rururocks

why would anyone go there ?

12:19 am

VolleymomDee

I haven't seen any so far, but certainly appreciated the "heads up"

12:20 am

westford

I have only had one dealing with him and he was very nice I first started to play under a different name and wrote and asked how to change my name to westford so any tangle friends would know me he fixed it for me right away and emailed me back that I was all set

12:20 am

licketySplitAUS

Oh good to hear westford. I am surprized I haven't heard back.

12:20 am

westford

so am I

12:21 am

westford

I think I'll check my card though just in case

12:21 am

westford

the hackers are everywhere

12:22 am

1:41 am

jillibus

1:41 am

sprite

oh, ok jilli, then I was totally mistaken. Sorry.

1:41 am

jillibus

it's just that someone said it was a silly word

1:42 am

flosey

I have all the T words and the grid is telling me I'm missing one !

1:43 am

sprite

ah, I see. Yes, in english it is. But alas, we have come to know it too well in all languages, I think.

1:43 am

flosey

my word count is l65 but it is still telling me I'm missing one word

1:44 am

jillibus

refresh, flosey?

1:44 am

lynxxx

Try hitting F5 Flosey, I had a similar problem 5 minutes ago

1:44 am

sprite

if you use the expert, flosey, you may have to do sent words to babble. You might have entered a word that was not taken.

1:44 am

flosey

yes, just did jilli - fireworks

1:44 am

sprite

wtg flosey

1:44 am

lynxxx

Congrats Flosey!

1:44 am

flosey

have never had that happen before @

1:45 am

jillibus

YAY flosey
111

1:45 am

lynxxx

me neither

1:45 am

jillibus

those were supposed to be !!!

1:46 am

sprite

it happens in expert when the site has a serious hiccup while you enter words in the expert. Lickety's site has no hiccups, so it enters the words in the list. But not in the babble site list.

1:47 am

flosey

haven't hit hiccup time yet, but there was a time I had red boxes tonight and had to refresh

1:47 am

sprite

exactly

1:47 am

flosey

perhaps that's where I missed the word

1:48 am

flosey

JIlli, is my icon correct? I'd never heard of Kitsch before

1:51 am

sprite

I would say it was a bull's eye hit, flosey

1:52 am

flosey

thsnks sprite - guess Jill's burried in the grid

1:52 am

sprite

probably, yes, and I thought you wouldn't mind another opinion, lol

1:53 am

flosey

appreciate your opinion sprite, thanks

1:53 am

flosey

guess elvis on velvet is Kitschy then!

1:53 am

sprite

yeah, totally!

1:54 am

joey

help on the in 8, i read the clue on bandaging, that didn't do it for me. thanks

1:54 am

flosey

more like the way Jesus was wrapped Joey

1:55 am

jillibus

flosey, it's perfect! Did you google kitsch to find what it means?

1:55 am

flosey

when he was born

1:55 am

joey

mummified?

1:55 am

sprite

lol

1:56 am

joey

1:56 am

joey

got you...... oh, what a funny word.

1:56 am

flosey

yes but wasn't really clear to me jilli - was in a hurry at 9:45 tonight

1:56 am

jillibus

I saw one velvet painting where Jesus and Elvis were standing side by side and it was Elvbis who had the ahlo shining behind his head

1:56 am

sprite

I want stegosaurus to be there

1:56 am

herinfernallady

Runs in says HI And runs off again (still not net at home and no credit left)

1:56 am

1:57 am

herinfernallady

1:57 am

sprite

hey lady! *h*** to you.

1:57 am

jillibus

Elvis had the halo

1:57 am

sprite

wow jilli... that is funny, but almost too bad in taste, lol

1:57 am

flosey

I bet Jesus was laughing

1:58 am

jillibus

well, that's kitsch for you

1:58 am

sprite

am hoping for your internet to get fixed SOON, lady

1:59 am

jillibus

me too, herin -- we miss you!

1:59 am

flosey

well, have to check out tomorrow's - another new word for me tutus - or is that tutu plural

2:01 am

sprite

ballet skirts, flosey, lol

2:01 am

jillibus

little fluffy ballet skirts

2:01 am

jillibus

hic

2:02 am

sprite

can't find that big in yet... Jesus refuses to go back into that state for me now... guess he is too busy rocking with Elvis.

2:03 am

flosey

when I first saw it I wondered what on earth!, then realized it was tutu plural - both daughters took ballet for a while

2:04 am

flosey

to give them grace and poise if nothing else

2:05 am

sprite

same here, flosey, I had my daughter do it for a few years and it did marvels for her poise and muscletone

2:05 am

flosey

did you see my clue for the in8 earlier sprite?

2:05 am

sprite

grace... probably. If she is not too busy playing a little hoyden :D

2:06 am

flosey

Sandy continued on her own for a while as an exercise

2:06 am

sprite

yes, the clue how Jesus was when he was born. I know I am being stooopid here, just can't get it.

2:06 am

flosey

how he was wrapped

2:07 am

flosey

there's a 6 letter word for it in the grid

2:07 am

sprite

I think I just do not know that word in english... I know how he was wrapped in dutch, LOL. Will figure it out though,thanks for your help and patience.

2:08 am

flosey

perhaps that's it sprite, when you get the s words you'll find it

2:09 am

sprite

thanks flosey! That helps :)

2:10 am

sprite

yup, that did it, I already had that word, just didn't know that + in described Jesus's state after being born. We call it 'in doeken'.

2:10 am

flosey

Jill, are you still here? Just thinking, Ruth plays only alternate mondays, could Vonny be free?

2:11 am

flosey

well, you'd never get it from doeken

2:11 am

sprite

lol no... but I got it from you. Thanks again.

2:11 am

flosey

most welcome sprite

2:15 am

jillibus

I'm back , flosey -- went to turn off TV , put dishes in DW -- I have a lot to do tomorrow and don't mind giving bridge a miss

2:16 am

flosey

ok Jilli - enjoy the night off

2:16 am

flosey

I got one bridge table cover done today

2:16 am

jillibus

I might change my mind at the last minute, flosey, lol

2:16 am

flosey

ordered the new tables, could take a couple of weeks

2:17 am

jillibus

why do they need covers? The tops looked okay to me

2:17 am

sprite

go4, I forgot to call the school. My son is ill and so am I, we run to the toilet all the time. Just plain forgot to call. They called me just now... I am so ashamed.

2:18 am

jillibus

no reason for shame, sprite!

2:18 am

flosey

with both of you sick, am sure they'd understand - and it's good to know they call home when someone's missing

2:19 am

sprite

they were perfectly nice to me, it is just that I told my daughter: no, you don't have to tell Tim's teacher, I will call myself. Duh.

2:19 am

sprite

yes, it is a great school, flosey, they care for their kids.

2:20 am

jillibus

It's understandable that you would forget considering you're ailing yourself!

2:20 am

flosey

even the high school called home if we didn't let them know a child was home for a reason

2:21 am

jillibus

this grid is quite nice

2:21 am

sprite

yeah, both bowel and stomach problems... good we have 2 toilets,lol. Flosey: Tim has been accepted on a great highschool for next year. They will call too.

2:21 am

sprite

jilli, I agree!

2:21 am

flosey

agree, I quite enjoyed it jill

2:22 am

flosey

except for a couple of glitches that had nothing to do with the grid - like the red boxes, and missing a word I had

2:22 am

jillibus

of course, I'll now be stuck

2:22 am

sprite

lol jilli, but that is part of the fun, isn't it.

2:23 am

flosey

want any clues?

2:23 am

sprite

no thanks, flosey, I am happily plodding along.

2:23 am

flosey

otherwise, I'm off to bed

2:50 am

mrpresident

2:50 am

Marmar

I just picked up my eldest from school, stomachache, dizzy, headache, as they say in Texas, "she just ain't doing right". Bless us all!!!

2:50 am

sprite

Tim has already written a letter to Luke, all that needs doing is putting it into an email! Will get to it soonish, I hope!

2:51 am

Marmar

Lots of love! (to everyone!)

2:51 am

sprite

2:51 am

joso

I just had a week of stomach flue or somthing very like it, sounds like this thing is world wide

2:52 am

mrpresident

oh good! luke will like that so much :)

2:52 am

Marmar

Thankyou!!! (From Eva)

2:53 am

mrpresident

mars just informed us, no attack this month... the protection money was paid, all is well

2:54 am

joso

another fine hope dashed

2:55 am

joso

back to waiting for godot

2:55 am

mrpresident

oh stomach flu... poor darlings !

2:58 am

mrpresident

phobias... booby traps, paper cuts, undercooked cauliflower... I wonder if those phobias have a name

3:03 am

joso

how about Logophobia, fear of not knowing the right word

3:03 am

mrpresident

good one... and what is the word meaning 'word on the tip of the tongue'??

3:04 am

joso

ya got me, I've heard it before but can't remember it

3:05 am

mrpresident

hehehe !

3:05 am

mrpresident

bbs, need to watch the news for the first time in a month.. wonder what i have missed (no wonder I have been happy)

3:08 am

joso

there is a fear of veggies, bad food and paper, but nothing as specific as papper cuts and undercooked cauliflower

3:08 am

mrpresident

wow, what is this site you are looking at joso?

3:09 am

joso

phobialist.com

3:10 am

joso

lists by name or fear

3:12 am

mrpresident

www.phobia-fear-release .com is my fav

3:12 am

joso

fear of booby traps might be a rational fear, like if in iraq, or landing on an Isle in the Pacific in WWII

3:13 am

joso

first one I came across

3:14 am

mrpresident

there is a word for fear of sexual abuse?? wow... how honourable... I wonder when that would be used in a sentence

3:16 am

joso

how about Anuptaphobia, fear of beeing an old maid

3:17 am

mrpresident

oh, my sister in law has that fear

3:18 am

lynxxx

Did she have her baby yet MRP?

3:18 am

joso

At one time I thought it woud be cool to memorize the phobia list, then I got a look of the size of the thing

3:20 am

mrpresident

now, there is fear of a great mole rat, but there isn't fear of undercooked cauliflower... hmmm

3:21 am

joso

At first we thought the sheep just had Agraphobia, until we saw Granpappy in thet horrible vidio

3:21 am

mrpresident

yes lynxx, and the father of the child got her to move in with him... 8 months after the child was born. she did the hard slog and when the kid got cute, and more expensive, he got her to move in

3:22 am

mrpresident

i think they both have something called.... convenience

3:23 am

joso

doesn't sound like a groundless fear

3:24 am

lynxxx

Sounds like a shaky start, but I hope it works out for all of them

3:26 am

mrpresident

well, i shouldn't judge... wait... did I?? oh well... let's let them work it out and hope the kid is ok

3:27 am

lynxxx

BBL my husband has just bought me some of his delicious soup

3:28 am

mrpresident

lynxx, did you see what someone wrote to Who magazine last week about unwed mothers??

3:29 am

mrpresident

she wrote about her values vs the magazine's family values... she got blasted! and the magazine had no problem posting letters telling her what a moralistic so and so she was! LOL

3:33 am

mrpresident

6:13 am

pinkhatlil

guys i just recieved an email stating that if anyone gets and email that says "postcard" in the subject box do not open it because the virus attacks the C drive, which is where all the vital info is stored. Microsoft have named this to be the worst type of virus because it burns away the drive and there is no way of fixing it at the moment. So be careful

6:13 am

lil*monkey

DUH :)

6:13 am

LoriP

the pipe can be used to make fencing for cattle/horses.

7:05 am

carleekat

so was dad stunned?

7:07 am

Angelsong

not as much as I was. I placed the ad, and went to take my laundry out of the washing machine. before I got the washer unloaded, the phone rang; it was my mom, saying to take the ad offline, the item had been sold!

7:07 am

kje

wow - what site?

Angelsong

Scrabbler

Hello everyone

7:25 am

carleekat

morning scrabs

7:25 am

pinkhatlil

hi scrabbler!

7:25 am

Scrabbler

How is everyone, including the grid?

7:26 am

carleekat

grid rocked scrabs...was a nice one..defintiely a keeper

7:26 am

lil*monkey

anyone know the second fa7 ?

7:27 am

Scrabbler

That means a lot, coming from you, Carlee, because you have not been happy with many grids recently.

7:27 am

pinkhatlil

no not yet lil*monkey, i need it myself

7:27 am

carleekat

its an "ish" word monkey... a kinda chubby

7:27 am

Angelsong

lilMonkey, that FA is kinda plump.

7:27 am

pinkhatlil

thx carlee

7:27 am

carleekat

( if that clue wasn't a dead giveaway..i don't know one that is)

7:28 am

lil*monkey

TY carlee :)

7:28 am

LoriP

carlee, head to the pb.

7:28 am

LoriP

might as well have typed it in......

7:28 am

carleekat

how so lori...no diff then saying is a gerund ending

7:28 am

Scrabbler

TY for that clue, Carlee, as the coffee infusion is just beginning.

7:29 am

carleekat

ok..then..the word is fattish... now I typed it in :op~~~~~

7:29 am

carleekat

sitting with steaming hot coffee in PB....relaxing..feet up

7:29 am

Scrabbler

Carlee, I will follow you to the PB as I need breakfast. LOL

7:30 am

carleekat

( I mean..heck if am sent to PB for a clue....I might as well make it worthwhile....sheesh )

7:30 am

LoriP

Okay. Later kids, have a good one

7:30 am

Scrabbler

**liking Carlee's defiant attitude**

7:31 am

carleekat

later lori..have a good one..enjoy the sunshine

7:32 am

carleekat

( well..since haz is not around to toss me in the clinker.....)

7:33 am

Scrabbler

It's OK, Carlee---people place words in the chatlog accidentally all of the time, so placing "ish" was no crime.

7:34 am

carleekat

( I meant to place ish... its really no diff then past tense..or gerund... and I think I upset lori :( )

7:34 am

pinkhatlil

bye lori!

7:34 am

Angelsong

fireworks for me...

7:35 am

carleekat

<POMPOM TOSS> for angel...yippee

7:35 am

Scrabbler

It is always a person's choice to feel how they wish, even if it is not necessary. Sometimes Babblers overreact when grid words are used in the chatlog.

7:35 am

Scrabbler

Yahooo Angel! I am 118 behind you.

7:35 am

pinkhatlil

well done angel!

7:36 am

LadyNatts

okay, I'm just not getting that swaddling reference

7:36 am

carleekat

( everyone knows I end up dropping one once in a while)..anyway..how was weekend scrabs

7:36 am

pinkhatlil

in + sw6/33

7:36 am

carleekat

( 3 of the sw words are part of )

7:37 am

Angelsong

LadyNatts: if you wrap someone in bandages, you sw**** them...

7:37 am

Scrabbler

GREAT weekend! Kayaking on Saturday, yardwork yesterday, on a glorious sunny weekend. I am renewed and recharged for the week with Boss Richard Head. I also read some articles about control freaks to help me understand him better.

7:37 am

Scrabbler

TY, Pink

7:37 am

LadyNatts

got it, thank you all

7:37 am

carleekat

ok..well to ensure I don't upset anyone else..i'll go...cuall tomorrow

7:38 am

pinkhatlil

LOL scrabbler, he's that bad!

7:38 am

carleekat

sounds great scrabs... byebye

7:38 am

pinkhatlil

dont go carlee

7:38 am

Scrabbler

Bye CArlee--enjoy the day!

7:38 am

pinkhatlil

yw scrabbler

7:39 am

Scrabbler

Pink, he is a narcissistic control freak and if I could work somewhere else I would. He has issues!

7:39 am

pinkhatlil

is he short?

7:39 am

Scrabbler

We ALL have issues, but some people's issues make life miserable for those around them.

7:39 am

EspritdJean

pigeon dick syndrome

7:40 am

Scrabbler

No, average ht.

7:40 am

pinkhatlil

LOLOLOL EJ

7:40 am

EspritdJean

the devil made me say that

7:40 am

Scrabbler

Haha, EJ. That could be--he is always grabbing himself, maybe hoping things have grown.

7:40 am

pinkhatlil

hahahaha

7:41 am

Scrabbler

He has many good qualities, at times.

7:41 am

pinkhatlil

...but the bad out weigh the good

7:41 am

lil*monkey

sometimes pigeon dick snydrome can rear its ugly head when the Richard Head in question has a younger,much taller, much more successful brother who is mommy's favorite

7:42 am

lil*monkey

that's just a small dose of my monkey rationale

7:42 am

Scrabbler

Maybe that is it, monkey, as I have tried hard to understand the WHY of his behavior. He is the second of 3 brothers, and then a daughter much younger than all of them.

7:43 am

lil*monkey

OR if the Richard Head in questions has possibly had an episode of "performance anxiety" in his past (or his present!)

7:43 am

Scrabbler

It is a consensus from all who encounter him that he is difficult and manipulative, so I know it is not just me.

7:44 am

lil*monkey

is he married?

7:44 am

Scrabbler

He is clearly insecure under his bossiness, so he tries to control everything around him AND he demeans and degrades everyone.

7:45 am

pinkhatlil

he sounds desperately unhappy!

7:45 am

Scrabbler

Yes, but he is such a workaholic that he is hardly ever home--4 kids.

7:45 am

lil*monkey

yes i agree, pink!

7:45 am

EspritdJean

is he a doctor or an administrator?

7:46 am

Scrabbler

I do feel pity and sadness as he is so troubled.

7:46 am

Scrabbler

Both, EJ.

7:46 am

Scrabbler

Anyway, enough about my work environment, how was everyone's weekend?

7:47 am

lil*monkey

great! thx for asking

7:47 am

pinkhatlil

there are definite issues steming from childhood i reckon. maybe he was always being over looked, and now he's in charge he feels he has to exert authority negatively!

lil*monkey

guaranteed one of his siblings is the "golden" one and he feels inferior, so he has to "put down" others around him

7:49 am

went to a funeral in Kentucky on Saturday--our sick sense of humor was out of control over a hairstyling salon just a block away from the funeral home: "Curl Up & Dye"

7:53 am

Uneaixoise

and the chat comes to a screeching halt . . . did I offend someone??

7:54 am

hootowl

no can come with a comeback LOL

7:54 am

Scrabbler

Oh, not at all, Une. I was taking my turns in Scrabble games. Funny story!

7:54 am

Uneaixoise

Around here there is a family with many funeral homes and the name is "Amigone"--an Italian name but split it into syllables.

7:58 am

crpw48

i am on my husbands computer today, mine died last night right before the flip, so he is trying to fix or replace today

8:00 am

Scrabbler

Oh, no, crpw! I hate having computer (and car) problems--such essentials, and often expensive to repair. And dental and medical problems too. I am in the 5% of people that have a "failed root canal", so the appts, X-rays and upcoming oral surgery are bad for the bank account.

8:01 am

LadyNatts

can someone help me with the last te (te5,18)?

8:01 am

crpw48

thats a good one too scrabbler, i would think the Amigone's would have maybe came up with a better name for their business

8:03 am

crpw48

yeah, i know scrab, but get this, just found out my air conditioner in the car is not working , soooooooo, think i need to hit the lottery

8:04 am

crpw48

8:04 am

Scrabbler

Oh, no, crpw. I thought on Saturday that I had the same problem, then I realized that I hit the defrost button instead of the AC button, phew.

8:05 am

Scrabbler

I gon't have it, Natts, but I will look for it too.

8:05 am

Scrabbler

*don't*

8:07 am

LadyNatts

just got it, scrabbs... it's strange to me, but ends in the 3-letter exclamation of disgust that I say of it.

8:08 am

LadyNatts

and that was fireworks for me... before I had even finished my first cup of coffee!

8:09 am

Scrabbler

Yahoo, Natts!

8:10 am

LadyNatts

aknitter

hermaphrodite???? lol

12:45 pm

kje

ah - that explains the profile then : )

12:46 pm

EvaNadine

when youre a mother, youll be whatever is required of you...heh

12:46 pm

aknitter

you can be both. i have a son and a daughter. both are scouts. and actually girls can be boy scouts I was one as a kid as there were no girl scout troops in my town

12:46 pm

kje

how fun - I didn't know girls could be boy scouts and vice-versa

12:47 pm

EvaNadine

i always wanted to be a cub scout. i was a brownie + all we did was sew + bake...
id prefer camping + hunting + building...

12:47 pm

aknitter

ah no boys can not be girl scouts

12:47 pm

debjed

hello everyone! any help for the U?

12:47 pm

kje

were you the only girl in the troop?

12:47 pm

aknitter

evan we are a camping, hiking boating group

12:47 pm

12:48 pm

debjed

12:48 pm

EvaNadine

AK -- most of the girl scouts do that cool stuff nowadays. when i was a brownie, we never got to do anything like that...

12:49 pm

aknitter

there are still suzy home-maker troops but most girls like the outdoor things too. at least all mine do

12:49 pm

kje

I was neither - clearly I led a deprived childhood - LOL

12:49 pm

kje

may explain my lack of kn4ing skills

12:49 pm

EvaNadine

i was SUCH a tomboy when i was little. and none of the brownie troops did anything tomboyish -- at least none of the ones in my area.

12:50 pm

kje

OK - 10 more minutes then lunch is over - any clues before I go?

1:06 pm

MonkeyGames

It was the shrimp.

1:06 pm

EvaNadine

FA7/44 is "kinda-sorta" just like the other FA7

1:06 pm

Aloyisius

I didn't either, Eva.. that's why I picked them for my report

So might have been iodine. Definitely was the kind of shrimp.

1:09 pm

Aloyisius

microscopic almost

1:09 pm

Aloyisius

actually not a worm, tho

1:09 pm

MonkeyGames

It's a flatworm type. If you cut their heads in half they grow two, if you graft heads on they have two, etc. If you teach them to run a mazze, which they can learn, an dthen grind them up and feed them top other ones, the other ones can then run the maze. Fascinating stuff.

1:09 pm

EvaNadine

*trying hard not to turn to the list*
*so sleepy...*

1:09 pm

they have no legs!!! how do they run a maze?

1:10 pm

9:33 pm

dcseain

9:33 pm

AsGreen

OMG Hurshy - I just came back to tell you...!!!

9:42 pm

hurshy

ok, so, in general, people do want to have a sense of purpose in life. either they have one, or are just happy in general, and don't think about it, or they're looking for one, right?

9:42 pm

Jellen

Right, hurshy.

9:44 pm

hurshy

ok, is it also normal to be really terrified by life because you don't feel one and don't really expect to ever find one, and the thought of just going on day after day, working, etc etc, but not really caring, just makes your stomach turn?

9:45 pm

bleugirl2

11:43 pm

Jellen

Jac, have I told you I have a new romance myself?

11:44 pm

jillibus

Jac -- of course you may get squiffy on your borthday and my I join you in squiffiness, hic?

11:45 pm

frantique

11:45 pm

Jellen

11:45 pm

frantique

11:45 pm

jillibus

11:45 pm

frantique

oh a babbler !

11:46 pm

Jellen

We just chatted one evening, then switched to phone, then met the same day!

11:46 pm

frantique

I think you can tell a lot about people by chatting online.. if their spelling is good, if they are polite, witty etc

11:46 pm

jillibus

my next icon is posted -- refresh, gang

11:46 pm

frantique

ooooooooooh thats movin fast

11:47 pm

jillibus

jellen, I guess he lives near you?

11:48 pm

Jacula

Jellen, that's great! Just be sure to tell him NEVER to fill in your last word on the grid! My beloved made that mistake once, thinking he was doing me a favour. He's never made that error again!

11:48 pm

jillibus

Tutus, jellen -- I always say in my bio

11:48 pm

Jellen

He's 30 minutes away from me, jilli.

11:48 pm

jillibus

11:49 pm

frantique

lol last word.. if you get married they will have to put that in the vow

11:49 pm

danf63

jellen, that sounds like a great distance...close enough to not be a chore to get to, far enough that if things go wierd he won't be at the corner market when you are

11:50 pm

Frances

Good Morning all.

Happy birthday Jac. May you have many more. Have a wonderful day.

11:50 pm

Jellen

11:52 pm

jillibus

frances -- Peggy is prettier!

11:53 pm

Jacula

Frantique - if me and he ever marry, not putting in the last word on the Babble grid willl be right up there in the promises. Even if the word is asked for and the other one gets it.

11:54 pm

Jacula

It's like having the last page of the good book you were reading suddenly torn out! Only YOU can enter your last Babble word.

11:54 pm

Frances

I agree jilli. Dame Margot - so much prettier. Have changed.

11:54 pm

Jellen

I agree, Jac.

11:54 pm
