12:18 am

herinfernallady

Hi OHJ is that your kitty?

12:18 am

they keep us around for entertainment and to do the dirty work for them

12:18 am

oldhousejunky

yes..that's Phillip. He's my youngest of 4

12:19 am

Jandy

True... I have a dog who taps politely with his paw on the dog food box, the back door, opens the sliding door to the cupboard with his toys in it... he's mental in his own way.... but it works for him!

12:19 am

Jandy

LOL... Phillip... great name for a cat!

12:19 am

cybernan

12:19 am

oldhousejunky

12:21 am

kje

12:21 am

Jandy

Hi Doug!

12:22 am

kje

12:22 am

HI DOug. Also OHJ is all the kittys black?

12:23 am

VolleymomDee

12:23 am

Hello kje, jandy, herin, Dee, and everyone

12:23 am

becca2281023

3 black and 1 gray. 3 are from the same liter that consisted of 2 blacks and the gray

12:24 am

Jandy

Hi becca

12:25 am

becca2281023

12:25 am

herinfernallady

Hey Becca

12:25 am

herinfernallady

How can you tell them appart?

12:26 am

oldhousejunky

When they were little we had collars on them. That lasted for about a week !!! LOL. As they grew it became easier especially Elizabeth - her mouth enters the room 5 mins before she does

12:27 am

herinfernallady

So Elizabeth has the large head? Do you have any kitty pics?

12:27 am

MonkeyGames

Morning! How many words today? And how is everyone?

12:27 am

Douglas

Steven Cray - father of supercomputing, is in the grid...

12:28 am

herinfernallady

Hi Monkey

12:28 am

kje

100 words

12:28 am

Jandy

Hi Monkey... a nice tidy 100!

12:28 am

MonkeyGames

I see lots of phantom Dutch words again today. And real ones. That gets distracting.

12:28 am

Just1Mar

nice to know ...relevent?

12:28 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks, kje!

12:29 am

VolleymomDee

hi monkey

12:29 am

MonkeyGames

And Jandy...

12:30 am

MonkeyGames

Phantom: ratchet

12:30 am

Jandy

This grid would be much improved with the introduction of an E. I suppose it wouldn't be so petite then, though!

12:30 am

Jandy

I still like my dyslexic marsupial on the second bottom row...

12:30 am

herinfernallady

lol

12:31 am

MonkeyGames

I see it too. That is funny.

12:31 am

herinfernallady

mmf

12:33 am

MonkeyGames

One of the phantom Dutch words is horeca

12:33 am

Jandy

meaning, monkey?

12:34 am

MonkeyGames

Pretty much the faster-food industry. A fancy restaurant isn't a horeca, neither is a McDonalds, but all teh mid-range cafes are.

12:34 am

MonkeyGames

It also means the wholesale snack foods industry.

12:34 am

Douglas

South Afrikaan word alert...

12:34 am

Jandy

Ah... we don't really have a word for that - I think it would be a family restaurant. And what an interesting word with such a big second meaning!

12:35 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks, Doug, hadn't seen that oneyet.

12:35 am

MonkeyGames

Yeah, I should look up the etymology sometime.

12:35 am

12:55 am

Douglas

Lore was the bad boy...

12:55 am

Jandy

LOL, west, very festive. And it should be a good investment for you come Christmas!

12:56 am

Just1Mar

12:57 am

Jandy

Good luck with that, west...

12:58 am

MonkeyGames

Relaying. Good point. It does make them sometimes, though, in response to signals from elsewhere. OK, got to go! Have fun all!

12:58 am

westford

I just think it would be better without all that cold and snow

12:58 am

jillibus

1:00 am

Jandy

That's it..

1:00 am

Just1Mar

ummmm thinking it's our summer (supposed to be) westie

1:00 am

Jandy

By far the biggest culture shock as a kid moving from one hemisphere to another. I still love a cold winter.. or at least the idea of it!

1:01 am

Just1Mar

oh jandy .....you can have my cold winter anytime you want

1:01 am

westford

do you ever get back to cold winters jandy?

1:01 am

Jandy

And people here always did the same Christmas lunch... mothers dropping from heat exhaustion everywhere from turning out a roast and all the trimmings!

1:02 am

Jandy

We lived in St Louis for 2 Christmases west... that was Cold with a Capital C!! But sooooo pretty!

1:02 am

westford

1:02 am

Just1Mar

lol winter in st louis.....lolol

1:02 am

Jandy

Thanks Just1.. we get cold winters in Canberra by Australian standards, but nothing compared to you!

1:02 am

Jandy

Not funny, Just... neither is summer in St Louis...

1:03 am

westford

ooh I love that movie Meet Me In St. Louis especially when Judy sings that song

1:03 am

Just1Mar

would much rather endure their summer than our winter that's fer dam sure!

1:03 am

Jandy

We do west, fortunately, things are changing slowly to lighter meals with lots of seafood and champagne and mangoes and avocadoes etc...

1:03 am

westford

Have yourself a merry little Christmas...

1:04 am

westford

that's a Christmas dinner I would really enjoy jandy

1:04 am

Jandy

I dunno... I had a baby and a toddler when we lived there I felt like I spent half the summer in the basement laundry waiting for the tornado all clear. Sometimes, after several hours, I would just come out and take my chances... less risk of death with the tornado!

1:05 am

Jandy

It's different but very good west.. kids in the pool or at the beach, lots of barbecuing...

1:05 am

Just1Mar

well I can take heat alot better than cold......our just passed winter was a real bi^tch

1:05 am

westford

I've never been to St Louis but my husband used to go there for business and he said he'd never experienced such humidity

1:06 am

Jandy

You should emigrate, Just!!!

1:06 am

Marmar

4.546 liters

2:04 am

Marmar

Hi all!

2:04 am

herinfernallady

HI Mar

2:04 am

rururocks

whew marmar saves the day

2:04 am

mrpresident

so if a shower is 2 gallons a minute.... that would be 9 litres a min??

2:04 am

rururocks

yep

2:04 am

Marmar

I'm an American living in Europe....have my conversion chart within arms reach at all times.

2:04 am

herinfernallady

No idea

2:05 am

rururocks

WOw and I was so impressed

2:06 am

Marmar

Don't let me fool you. I 'm still recovering from BabRab's phantom, misocainea!

2:06 am

herinfernallady

RU have you seen the rpg books we own

2:07 am

rururocks

I am finding like 1 word every five minutes..

2:08 am

NonnieLight

Heading to bed...take care all and ruru, I hope your wife gets some answers...hang in there.

2:08 am

Marmar

Ahhhcccchhh....you're stealing my limelight here BabRab... Is there a difference?

2:08 am

jillibus

thanks, marmar -- I was wondering because our gas here is S1.47 per litre and I couldn't figure out how much that is per gallon -- think we have the most expensive gas in North America -- $6.68 per gallon.

2:08 am

herinfernallady

Look at my flicka account

2:08 am

o-o

I find lots of words that enable will not accept

2:08 am

rururocks

thanks nonnie

2:08 am

herinfernallady

Basically a zombie plan is a practical solution to a difficult problem

2:08 am

jillibus

ok then, babrab, what is it for a US gallon?

2:09 am

herinfernallady

Jill our gas is about the same

2:09 am

Marmar

Hi Jilli. Wow, that is crazy. We're paying around 1,50 â‚¬ per liter...so about the same as you I guess..

2:09 am

o-o

a liter is 3,785 US gallons

2:10 am

o-o

3.785

2:10 am

Marmar

Wow, that's quite a difference! Learned something new today!

2:11 am

jillibus

so that's $5.56 per US gallon and going up.

2:11 am

sprite

morning all, a quick ten minutes before I must wave off my son to school camp. Hubby is taking him to school and waves him off there.

2:11 am

herinfernallady

Morning

2:11 am

o-o

a US gallon is .833 of an imperial gallon

2:11 am

Marmar

wait a minute...is a U.S. gallon 3.785 liters?

2:11 am

jillibus

hi sprite

2:12 am

mrpresident

that explains why we have no hot water after lickety has his 'shower' in the morning. He is dead meat

2:12 am

herinfernallady

Mr Pres showers should be 5min tops

2:12 am

sprite

but at least he is cooked dead meat, mrP

2:12 am

mrpresident

infern, he takes 20 min showers

2:12 am

Marmar

I have to stop before someone starts talking about monetary exchange rates

2:12 am

herinfernallady

Bad Lickety

2:13 am

o-o

agio

2:13 am

herinfernallady

Hello SPrite

2:13 am

rururocks

sounds like a water buffalo

2:14 am

Marmar

Ha, Lady, that reminds me of my dad preaching about his days in the Navy and the famous "3 miinute shower". Get wet, turn off water. Soap up head to toe. Turn on water and rinse. Get out.

2:15 am

herinfernallady

Nuuh i have 10 min showers due to stupid shower head

2:15 am

herinfernallady

Ru you have seen Posidon remake?

2:15 am

2:16 am

rururocks

I turned it off after a while herin it was soo awful

2:16 am

jillibus

howya doin, sprite?

2:16 am

jillibus

too many almost-words here

2:17 am

herinfernallady

OK so ill make you laugh. A zombie plan for this movie: Take of stupid dress as dresses slow you down. Steal clothes of someone (that is likely) dead. Change shoes too. Go up and leaves anyone that is too drunk are unable to look after them selfs (kids etc)

2:19 am

rururocks

all we need is an s for a shoulda, coulda, woulda

2:19 am

herinfernallady

lol ru

2:20 am

Marmar

I have to go, lots to clean today and I literally "have" to iron shirts or my husband will go on strike. Then I get to make lunch for 5 hungry school kids later (not all mine). Bye all. Have fun with this crummy grid!

2:20 am

sprite

not great, jilli. *hugs*

2:21 am

rururocks

2:24 am

herinfernallady

Sprite where is the kids goin?

2:24 am

Marmar

Oh, that sounded like I was complaining, I really wasn't.
And "Goedemorgen" Spritey! I really do wish you all a wonderful day!

2:24 am

sprite

bye marmar

2:25 am

sprite

lol lady, we do not know. It is one of the best kept secrets of the school each year. When they have left, the parents get a sealed envelope with their destination in it!

2:28 am

herinfernallady

Oh that is interesting. Do they return them?

2:29 am

sprite

so far, they have done so each year. It makes it very exciting for the kids to not know. And I suspect the school has had bad experiences with parents who think it is a good idea to go visit their kids on school camp.

2:29 am

jillibus

sprite -- I'm back -- sorry to hear things are not great

2:41 am

jillibus

2:41 am

2:42 am

herinfernallady

no E, no S, no happy little endings... miserable thing

2:50 am

mrpresident

ok back... just been the evilest mother of all time...

2:50 am

jillibus

I don't believe that, mrp!

2:50 am

herinfernallady

What did you do?

2:51 am

lynxxx

Hi MRP monster mum, lol

2:51 am

mrpresident

very very upset with daughter and her horrid, disgusting, lazy pigsty way of leaving her room... clothing, books, everything everywhere!! looks like a rubbish bin

2:51 am

herinfernallady

So put everything in a garbage bag and dump it

2:52 am

mrpresident

so I took everything out... all clothing, all toys, books, nicknacks... everything, except her blankets, pillow and school clothes

2:52 am

jillibus

wtg, mrp!

2:52 am

mrpresident

there is now 7 box fulls of her crap... including her valuables... in the garage.

2:52 am

lynxxx

welcome to the teenage years...I couldn't get either of mine to consistently keep clean, so I would just close the door

2:53 am

herinfernallady

well done

2:53 am

mrpresident

i made her sign an agreement!! I am awful!! she is in the bathroom weeping!!

2:53 am

herinfernallady

Oh?

2:53 am

jillibus

she'll get over it -- don't you weaken with the weeping!

2:54 am

mrpresident

she has to pay $1 for each thing she wants back, (including her underwear) and she has to work for it.... on credit... like a bank account. She will get $1 written up for each chore, and then she can buy something back

2:54 am

herinfernallady

MR PRES

2:54 am

jillibus

wow!

2:54 am

mrpresident

she signed the agreement... and if she leaves anything she has 'repurchased' on the floor or somewhere it shouldn't be, it gets put in the incinerator.

2:55 am

lynxxx

I think this is called "tough love"

2:55 am

mrpresident

like I said, I am evil evil evil!! I feel awful, but I just can't see how I can get through to her... begging, pleading, screaming, nothing has worked

2:55 am

herinfernallady

MR PRes you should donate that stuff

2:56 am

herinfernallady

She should only be allowed minamal clothes.

2:56 am

jillibus

You are NOT evil!

2:56 am

jillibus

she brought it on herself

2:57 am

mrpresident

all the memorabilia, all the trophies, all the ballet certificates... everything is gone. She is gonna be crying for weeks.
She is particularly upset about buying back a single pair of underpants, but that is the least of her worries

2:57 am

mrpresident

thank you jilli ! she certainly did

2:58 am

mrpresident

i will donate and sell alot of the stuff, she is spoilt rotten... to the point that throwing her undies around on the floor all over the house is a given!

2:58 am

herinfernallady

http://www.packinglistonline.com/ I got this list the other day

2:59 am

herinfernallady

Mr PRes i don't agree with taken her important memoribila. Yes they should be boxed and yes she should earn them back but don't toss them

2:59 am

mrpresident

brb, have to give them dinner... sobbing child might not want to eat it though... see you all soon
I won't toss the memorabilia, I will box that for keepsake

3:00 am

mrpresident

if she wants it in her room, she has to earn it back... bbs

3:00 am

jillibus

My big grownup newlywed hubby used to drop his pajamas on the floor when he got up in the morning. I eventually threw them under the middle of the double bed so he would have to crawl to get them. His mother was Not Amused.

3:00 am

herinfernallady

back soon have to feed

3:01 am

jillibus

It worked, though.

3:01 am

lynxxx

lol Jilli - I sometimes do similar stuff to my untidy husband

3:02 am

Now I must go to bed!

hydra

Hi herin, mrp and lynxxx. Funny grid today, with all those a's. I've missed Babbling for a week as I've been away in Cornwall where it rained every day. Guess who took summer clothes and flip-flops?

3:11 am

lynxxx

Hi Hydra

3:12 am

lynxxx

As long as you had a good break - as well as a good book or company

3:13 am

hydra

I was lucky, I had both! And bought some hippie tie-dyed clothes to remind me of my misspent youth.

3:15 am

mrpresident

back, she did a chore and bought back mamabear!! good lord!

3:15 am

lynxxx

gah - is it back in fashion again?

3:15 am

mrpresident

mamabear is the bear she sleeps with at night... I suggested she work towards a pair of pyjamas and underwear

3:16 am

hydra

Yes lynxxx, it is! No loon pants, though. I used to trip over the hems of mine.

3:16 am

lynxxx

aw MRP - I think she needs a cuddle from you

3:16 am

mrpresident

ah, lickety is home... now for some tough love there too... what a day! bbs

3:17 am

mrpresident

lynxx, she gets that free! :)) will do

3:17 am

lynxxx

loon pants? like bell bottoms?

3:18 am

hydra

Yes! They were cripplingly tight round bum and tum and huge round the hems. They'd wrap round your ankles and trip you up!

3:20 am

hydra

Your daughter's room sounds a bit like mine, mrP! But my excuse is that I am camping out with half my stuff in storage and the rest here at the BF's.

3:20 am

lynxxx

and worn with really heavy wide belts that were worn on yr hips - we didn't call them loon here. Surprising as we copied faithfully all the 60's stuff

3:21 am

herinfernallady

Hi

3:21 am

hydra

I still have one of those belts. It's about 40 years old now and a bit faded, like moi.

3:22 am

hydra

Hi herin. (hello sprite...)

3:22 am

Hi Sprite - your day not starting out well?

3:23 am

herinfernallady

Tonights feast is beans sausages baked and mash potatoes with cream and veggies steamed

3:23 am

hydra

Lovely! Can I come?

3:23 am

sprite

not at all, lyn :(
Some unfriendly sh*t, then babble went ballistic on me. But I waved my son off to schoolcamp, he is gonna have a wonderful time :) (and we a bit of peace and quiet at home, lol)

3:24 am

herinfernallady

If you wish. The sausages were darn expensive

3:24 am

hydra

They'll have gone cold by the time I get there. Green too! (LOL)

3:24 am

herinfernallady

eww.

3:24 am

sprite

ewww hydra, lol

3:25 am

herinfernallady

I bathed the cat today she is all fluffy

3:25 am

hydra

Hope I haven't spoiled them for you! I should hush ma mouth!

3:25 am

sprite

*giggles @ hydra*
Thanks for making me laugh!

3:25 am

herinfernallady

Nope no dramas at my end

3:25 am

lynxxx

Is he away all week Sprite? isn't it funny how just one person away makes for such a peaceful house

3:26 am

sprite

4 days, lyn! And yes, indeed. Will miss him, but will love the peace and quiet.

3:27 am

hydra

When we were kids at primary school, we played a game called sausage and mash. We would read a paragraph from a book out loud, substituting 'sausage' and 'mash' for all words starting with s or m. It made us giggle, but we were only 7!

3:27 am

herinfernallady

We do that

3:27 am

sprite

this summer, both of our kids will to on scouting camp together. Just the hubby and me for a whole week :)

3:27 am

herinfernallady

That and Pants

3:27 am

herinfernallady

Hydra do you mean Bangas and Mash?

3:27 am

sprite

hydra, that is tough!

3:28 am

herinfernallady

We like to play Pants

3:28 am

hydra

You mean, say 'pants' for words beginning with 'p'? And wot's tough, sprite? Herin's sausages?

3:28 am

sprite

no, that game

3:29 am

hydra

I was just joking!

3:29 am

herinfernallady

No. You think of a movie like Muppets from Outer Space but you replace a word with Pants -Like Pants from Outer Space.

3:30 am

sprite

am trying to imagine myself playing it... I bet I would be out of the game right away, lol

3:30 am

hydra

Oh, I see! We did that with 'farts' as in A Bridge Too Fart, and Fart from the Madding Crowd!

3:30 am

sprite

LOL

3:30 am

herinfernallady

OH i have to do that one thats funny

I hope you alll saw or rather listened to Nono's video yesterday about the unsolicited phonecalls - hysterical, laughed the whole way through

4:33 am

sprite

even showed it to my hubby, lyn, and he couldn't stop laughing :D

4:34 am

lynxxx

good! he needs a good belly laugh or two, how is he Sprite?

4:35 am

sprite

the laughing was great for him. But for the rest he is not doing well. Which is to be expected, I believe... now that he admits he is suffering from a burnout, things are getting worse first before they can get better, right?

4:36 am

pinkhatlil

whats a burnout sprite?

4:37 am

sprite

overworked and depressed and such, pink

4:37 am

lynxxx

Sprite - He is continuing to see the doctor/therapist?

4:37 am

sprite

he is, lyn, he started last week and will see her again this week.

4:37 am

Kazzer99

congrats sprite - bit slow off the mark - been concentrating on the jaffa

4:38 am

sprite

he doesn't sleep at all well though, which does not help things.

4:38 am

sprite

thanks Kazzer :)

4:39 am

pinkhatlil

oh a breakdown, ok im with ya...at least now he acknowledges the fact that something is wrong, recovery starts from admission

4:40 am

very true, pink. Sorry, I thought burn-out was an international phrase nowadays.

I am going to hang out the laundry to dry in the garden. It seems to be lovely weather.

4:44 am

lynxxx

I'm at a loss of what to say Sprite. Such a pity he didn't get that job last year, new enthusiasm may have avoided this. My thoughts are with you both

4:44 am

sprite

bye all, have a great evening and a wonderful day.

4:44 am

lynxxx

bye Spritey

4:44 am

yes, that is true, lyn. But it wasn't to be... hopefully he will find something later on, when he feels better. Thanks for caring :)

6:13 am

Scrabbler

FUNNY video/audio, Nono!! I love pranks and do many myself--I leave messages on friends' answering machines, use an accent sometimes, and it is hilarious.

6:13 am

flosey

she's sooo excited - first grandchild on the way

6:13 am

Scrabbler

I have even sent prank typed letters to friends....geez, that isn't a federal postal offense, is it?

6:14 am

NonoNanette

lol Scrabs! you prankster! hehee

6:14 am

LoriP

LOL good for you Scrabbler. I LOVED that guy in the video. Hysterical. Congrats to uyour friend flosey!

I thought it was very funny up until the last part about gays

6:15 am

WOOHOO Flosey - hope you feel better

6:15 am

Scrabbler

Once, at the office, I was called the nurse triage line, used an accent, and was very worried about my baby...I had the nurse going for quite a while--until the whole office was laughing.

6:15 am

flosey

thanks kje

6:16 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Bichon, that was over the top.

6:16 am

NonoNanette

lmao Scrabs, wish I had been there!

6:16 am

flosey

and scrabbler, am sure your friends enjoy your pranks

6:16 am

LoriP

Scrabbler, at a place I used to work, I called my supervisor all the time, being a "customer" the staff loved it. I always gave them the heads up first.....

6:17 am

Scrabbler

It is fun to escape from reality--it is a vital part of my daily life.

6:18 am

flosey

am sure it helps relieve tense moments scrab

6:18 am

LoriP

I'm sure it is Scrabbler. A little escapism is an important survival mechanism

6:19 am

Scrabbler

I have to be careful that Boss Richard Head or Office Manager Ratched are not around--they frown on personal conversations and especially laughing.

6:19 am

LoriP

***enjoying chat, forgetting what those little yellow tiles were for***

6:20 am

LoriP

Yah, people like that like to make everyone miserable. Misery enjoys company.

6:20 am

flosey

well Scrab, I feel sorry for them, they must be awfully uptight

6:20 am

kje

coffe beeping (thank god) BRB

6:20 am

flosey

back to bed now, bye all until tomorrow

6:20 am

LoriP

Feel better soon flosey, have a ncie sleep.

6:20 am

Scrabbler

Yes, flosey, they need daily enemas, for sure.

6:21 am

NonoNanette

some thing is very wrong about that Scrabs..... Laughter is really such good medicine it belongs in any medical setting

6:21 am

NonoNanette

rest well flosey and feel better

6:21 am

flosey

thanks all, poof!

6:21 am

Scrabbler

Bye Flosey--feel better. Take Echinacea, suck on zinc lozenges, drink a lot of Gatorade, and you will get better.

6:22 am

flosey

thanks Scrab. am doing that

6:23 am

Scrabbler

It is a sick, toxic environment, Nono, but I make it better whenever possible.

Angel, I was just reading your profile.... we've talked about my organizing b-i-l, right?

7:31 am

licketySplitAUS

Angelsong - Yeah I checked it all out - Very cool - You have a similiar mind to mine ;-)

7:31 am

AsGreen

can I look too? :)

7:31 am

licketySplitAUS

AsGreen - that's cheating ;-)

7:31 am

Yah, finished awhile ago ***did I mention Lickety and his list are omnipotent?***

7:31 am

Lickety...that is a compliment, indeed

I'm not looking, I'm not looking!

7:32 am

ok..lori... the wonean with the glasses on and off..is killing me

7:32 am

AS: not sure.

7:32 am

EmaMaria

Hi everyone

7:32 am

AsGreen

Lickety (dumb question), did you write a program to build the list?

7:32 am

LoriP

G'd morning Ema

7:32 am

FMitch

In which case I will avoid the wierd wierdness and stich with the strange weirdness that is sudoku today

7:33 am

AsGreen

Angel - his name is Peter Walsh - he's, um, an "organizing guru"

7:33 am

licketySplitAUS

AngelSong - your monthly stats are definitely fun to see. I've sorta given up on modifing my stats and the randomness of it all means it could go anywhere

7:33 am

Uneaixoise

thanks for the link, lickety!

7:33 am

Angelsong

AS: is he on the web, at all?

7:33 am

LoriP

LOLOL FM :)

7:33 am

oh, yeah, all over the web - and an "Oprah friend".... etc.

7:33 am

carleekat

ok..apparently I am not here..so ...ill go...

7:34 am

AsGreen

carlee - where are you????

7:34 am

licketySplitAUS

AsGreen - yeah - over the years I added more and more, and actually - in the last few weeks it runs itself and emails me and even tells you all on the chat log when it's done. I can even check it's done on my mobile phone. It's not fool proof though - and I have to have enough videos in the pipeline.

7:34 am

FMitch

Well Im seeing ghosts then carlee!

7:34 am

Jacula

Lickety - just watched the video. It's hilarious. They were really freaked out, weren't they?

7:34 am

LoriP

***where'd carlee go?***

7:34 am

AsGreen

Lickety said a word, :)

7:34 am

Angelsong

Lickety, I started the stats on January 1, just for the fun of it, then I just added them to the resource guide, along with everything else Babble I could find.

7:34 am

FMitch

But licekty does it make you a coffee too?

7:35 am

licketySplitAUS

Jacula - yeah - I watched it again - and showed mrp too - it is fun

7:35 am

AsGreen

and is the coffee strong? ****sigh

7:35 am

montreal13

made it to 50 - BBL - happy babbling all - "POOF"

7:35 am

FMitch - it allows me to go to the kitchen to make my 3pm coffee ;-)

7:35 am

Yea monty! have a good day.

7:35 am

Bye monty nice to see you

7:35 am

7:35 am

AsGreen

very cool lickety (the programming that is)

7:36 am

AsGreen

oops, I said a word too

7:36 am

LoriP

-----> The cabana boy awaits

7:36 am

licketySplitAUS

AsGreen - yeah - the last thing I did I'm quite proud of - took me a year to work out how to do it too - the upload to my free hosting

7:36 am

montreal13

ohhh, ANgelsong and Lickety, i am an organized person as well and i will be in position very soon to show you the evolaution of rankings in both the Cream of the crop and the Village elders rankings...still a bit of work to be done...

7:37 am

Uniquity

As - Peter Walsh is your b-i-l? Seen him on "Clean Sweep" for a long time.(If it's same guy)

7:37 am

Jacula

I'd better make the most of what the weather forecaster said is our last dry day for a while. The garden calls. Happy Babbling.

7:37 am

Uneaixoise

some of us village elders are bordering on village geezers! LOL

7:37 am

AsGreen

Angel - he's written a couple of books - you'll see them when you google (I'm in one of 'em ***shameless plug***), and when Oprah mentions them, they fly up the rankings....amazing

7:37 am

licketySplitAUS

oh montreal13 - it's not those stats we are interested in - It's the repetition and size of the words in the grid

7:38 am

AsGreen

Uni - that's him!

7:38 am

montreal13

i know Lickety - i thought it would be something that might interest a number of babblers,,,

7:38 am

LoriP

G'd morning Uni. :-) @ Une

7:38 am

Angelsong

I'm going to move the resource guide to a paid webhost this summer, I think

7:38 am

AsGreen

soooo many phantom words

7:38 am

Uniquity

He used to be a lot more "vicious" throwing out family heirlooms...recent eps I have seen he lets a LOT more stuff slide. Lori still gets upset over someone's Grandmother's paint set, LOL.

7:38 am

Uneaixoise

hey, lori :-)

7:39 am

LoriP

Don't bring THAT up Uni.......

7:39 am

I appreciate your data monty

7:39 am

licketySplitAUS

Well - nice for the chat everyone. I have a feeling I might be here some more soon for some support - Life is about to get really tough again - mrp is about to go through a major turn and leave us for medical stuff

7:39 am

he's still pretty vicious! :) honestly, he's awesome

I think one reason I've been so successful at organizing is that I had a chance not many people get: to start in a brand new environment. And, I am consistent.

7:42 am

LoriP

Later monty!

7:42 am

Uniquity

I wonder if Monty's stats can explain the bizarre discrepancies in rankings from time to time..

7:43 am

LoriP

I think one of the reasons I am successful at being disorganized, is the discipline involved, to not do it.

7:44 am

AsGreen

sorry, had to step out....still do....bbs

7:46 am

LoriP

If only there was money in being disorganized and slothenly. Maybe a book. It might sell.

setting up a tailgate, fmitch?

8:06 am

Uneaixoise

picnicking on the periphery?

8:06 am

FMitch

Hazarding a guess would that be something to do with food?

8:06 am

Uneaixoise

yes! just realized it wouldn't mean a thing to you! LOL

8:07 am

FMitch

LOL

8:07 am

EvaNadine

ahh, is picknicking a purely american term?

8:08 am

Uneaixoise

is it? I assume that's the case for tailgating . . .

8:08 am

AsGreen

ok, I'm back again....77 to go - feeling same pull that Une is .... :)

8:08 am

Vicuna

(Okay, I've got a beard. Not a very exciting one, but at least it counts.)

8:08 am

FMitch

No EvaN it was the tailgate word and its implications that is USA

8:09 am

EvaNadine

ahh, that makes more sense -- i thought picknicking mightve been more broad, but i could see tailgaiting as solidly american...

8:09 am

Uneaixoise

Well, we can't all have exultantly aggressive beards, now can we.

When I was looking for my icon I wondered if perhaps yo uhad illustrated the Lear limerick

8:14 am

Vicuna

Some of them wo5 be fun, but after all if Lear illustrated them himself, who am I to think I could do better?

8:14 am

Vicuna

Besides, he cheats using the same line twice!

8:14 am

lexleeanne

anybody have the corner T?

8:14 am

Or rhyming word anyway, I mean.

11:15 am

jessmom

I want this bumper sticker: My Zombie Ate Your Honor Student

11:16 am

SharonRA

I saw a great bumper sticker the other day that said "My karma ran over your dogma"

11:17 am

evanonut

well, its not a good zombie movie unless there's some sci fi explanation for it, like ancient witch voodoo reactivated when a cute dog pulls a bone out of a cave or something

11:18 am

Uneaixoise

love it, jessmom!! LOL

11:18 am

harpjane

maybe part of the movie will be for the nonzoms to figure out the cause?

11:18 am

evanonut

if they do, i'll consider it redeemed

11:18 am

evanonut

i want to see steven kings 'cell' turned into a movie

11:21 am

evanonut

jess, don't do it if you're looking for good acting, or plots, or stuff like that....but if you like a bad movie, then have at it

11:22 am

Judi

Not a zombie movie, but I saw a trailer last night for a remake of "The Andromeda Strain" - coming out sometime this summer. Actually, it looked pretty good.

11:22 am

harpjane

watch MST 3K zombie movies, then you get to laugh a lot!

11:22 am

jessmom

it's horror, are we ever looking for that?

11:22 am

Judi

Zombie movies. Now there's a genre that's been done to death (pun intended).

11:23 am

evanonut

you have to eat cracker when you watch my zombie movies, cause they are so cheesy!

11:23 am

jessmom

I can handle bad, but not "Make Them Die Slowly" bad, I think that title refers to the audience...

11:24 am

evanonut

i am legend was a good quality zombie movie, no crackers needed

Hi everyone

haha--I am laughing at EJ's summary of this grid.

6:21 pm

Angelsong

hi, Scrabbler. how's your monitor?

6:21 pm

Scrabbler

Still acting up--currently not in full living color. Then sometimes it suddenly brightens up.

6:22 pm

Angelsong

I was asked this morning to be a webmaster for our homeowner's association.

6:23 pm

Angelsong

sounds like it might be going out, Scrabbs. The monitor in my office (not the one at home) was a really ugly pepto bismol pink not long ago, and had to be replaced.

6:25 pm

Scrabbler

Good for you--the job. Our homeowners' association has a web site--most helpful for new residents, as I haven't checked it in a year or so.

6:26 pm

Angelsong

it's not a paid job...just something I will help with.

It is sad news and reminds me of when Mary was diagnosed--the shock, the uncertainty/fear, the upcoming radiation + chemo---it will really knock him down for quite a while, but I hope he can enjoy some quality of life for several more years at least.

7:33 pm

pam

Well put, scrabs.

I saw the oral surgeon today--my little procedure (apicoectomy) is scheduled for June 3rd and will cost $1100...but, a tooth problem is minor problem in comparison.

7:40 pm

lexleeanne

My husband had a friend who died leaving a wife and 3 small children- before his death of melanoma - his friends had a farewell party for him - it was a great priviledge to attend it...he had time to set up his wife and kids - pay off the house and she got back into college near where her parents lived....
