12:13 am

melonheadjujube

Thanks everyone. I've had to biopsies in the last two years - 1st one showed abnormal noncancerous. the second was my 1st digital mammo, and because of my family history the doctr wanted to take a look at some tiny micro calcifications that she said she would have waited on had I not been high risk. They were negative. Guess taking tamoxifen is paying off.

12:14 am

LadyNatts

great news, melonheadjujube

too bad when the icon theme is a word from the grid, which can be such fun, that lately the grids have been so small nobody has bothered to post a clue icon

12:55 am

Just1Mar

12:57 am

12:57 am

Just1Mar

12:57 am

Just1Mar

yes jilli

12:57 am

westford

they're coming home in july for him to meet the family big bunch on both sides so we're having a reception for them

12:57 am

Just1Mar

how wonderful!!

12:58 am

jillibus

west -- that's not cross-border, though, is it?

12:58 am

westford

yes and no...if the kitchen is done and all things are put back

12:58 am

westford

no jilli that's just

12:58 am

Just1Mar

well you better get on their tails there westie!

12:59 am

ajv74

I'll finish my morning session with 72 words. See you!

12:59 am

jillibus

that's what I thought -- makes a difference. Silly border.

12:59 am

westford

we're going down on SAt

12:59 am

westford

silly government

12:59 am

Just1Mar

not silly border.....silly homeland security

12:59 am

jillibus

*ducking outcry about "silly border"*

12:59 am

westford

we just renewed our passports

1:00 am

Just1Mar

that's good west cause sometimes you gotta just be there to make sure things are moving along

1:00 am

westford

we have relatives in Michigan and love to go through Canada to get there

1:00 am

jillibus

West, if your do is not cross-border why do you need passpaorts?

1:00 am

westford

saves time and the roads are great

1:01 am

jillibus

Ah, you answered the question. Silly homeland insecurity.

1:01 am

westford

good word for it jilli

1:01 am

Just1Mar

but then again jilli.....after our bungling minister, who thinks with his little head :) is any indication, no wonder the yanks want us to have passports!

1:02 am

nobabble

i just renewed my passport. it took fewer than 9 days from when i dropped it in the outbound mailbox at the post office to having my new passport delivered. i was... startled.

1:02 am

Just1Mar

I can understand them wanting passports for their southern border ......but Canada??

1:02 am

westford

borders cause a lot of trouble

1:02 am

westford

ours didn't take much longer nob

1:03 am

westford

and bermuda of all places

1:03 am

Just1Mar

I know westie....they don't want us Canucks as much as they don't want Mexicans

1:03 am

nobabble

i still need to get my kids passports, though, which i expect will take longer.

1:03 am

Just1Mar

here it depends on the childs ages

1:03 am

nobabble

i was just reading something about how in 2000 there were serious ideas floated about completely opening the US-canadian border. no border stops at all.

1:03 am

westford

given the state of the states I wouldn't leave canada

1:04 am

Just1Mar

mine either..dropped if off last thurs...

1:04 am

jillibus

I've had a passport since I was 8 years old

1:04 am

nDanLia

i keep thinking about all the fun that used to be made of the commies requiring papers - look who's having laugh now

1:04 am

nobabble

here, the kids will need passports if we want to go across any borders. nobody slides on mom and dad's passports any more, i guess.

1:04 am

Just1Mar

well weatherwise it can be a real bitch unless you live where jilli does

1:04 am

nobabble

and i'll need the passport just to fly domestically, possibly, in another year or so.

1:04 am

Just1Mar

where are you nobabble?

1:04 am

jillibus

now that makes sense, nobab

1:05 am

westford

you do get some pretty cold weather there

1:05 am

nobabble

i'm in washington state. seattle area.

1:05 am

westford

South Dakota got snow

1:05 am

Just1Mar

1:05 am

westford

only a dusting but it's nearly June

1:05 am

jillibus

just next door to me, nobab!

1:06 am

Just1Mar

well actually you need a passport to re-enter the states....you don't need one to come into Canada lol

1:06 am

jillibus

nobab, you're near stid too -- she's in Olympia

1:06 am

autumn moon

does that make nobabble somewhere close to Stid?

1:07 am

jillibus

Yeah, Canada isn't scared of naughty USers

it cost $87 for a passport for 5 years here not including price of photo

1:07 am

Just1Mar

but got great colour photos for $6.50 tax in at costco!

1:07 am

westford

about the same here but good for 10

1:07 am

nDanLia

even kiddies will need state issued ids w/in year, I believe, for any legal transactions

1:08 am

jillibus

I hear that may change to 10 yrs like other countries, mar

1:08 am

westford

good grief

1:08 am

Just1Mar

lol sure it will jilli cause I just got mine!

1:08 am

westford

your passport picture was great just? lol

1:09 am

jillibus

Well, it took longer than Orwell thought

1:09 am

Just1Mar

yes although I'm not photogenic at all.....hubby looks great!

1:09 am

jillibus

me too, mar

1:09 am

westford

It's a law here that it must look terrible

1:09 am

nobabble

i am under the impression that canadian border control is making sure people have the appropriate documents coming in, to be sure of getting rid of them later.

1:09 am

Just1Mar

my drivers permit pix is great tho!

1:10 am

nobabble

can't have americans stranded in canada, eh?

1:10 am

Just1Mar

this is prob true nobab

1:10 am

jillibus

west, same here -- no smiles or anything. Dumb idea smiles whoudl be mandatory, to show the teeth which are so identifiable.

1:10 am

Just1Mar

well if our dollar was still .60 they'd prob encourage you to stay for sure nobab lolol

1:10 am

nobabble

anyway, i want us to be able to go up to canada easily, so i'm making sure we're all up to date with our passports.

1:10 am

westford

my cousin's daughter moved to canada after she graduated and couldn't do anything for a year

1:11 am

nobabble

haha, could be! but now, who needs USD?

1:11 am

westford

couldn't work or go to school

1:11 am

westford

had to just reside

1:11 am

westford

she's back

1:11 am

Just1Mar

well actually went to mexico in jan...they still liked the greenback better than ours even tho we were at par then

1:11 am

nobabble

that sounds kind of nice, no work, no school....

1:11 am

nobabble

good work if you can get it, i guess.

1:12 am

westford

she was young and bored

1:12 am

westford

she'll look back on it with longing

1:12 am

Just1Mar

that's strange west....

1:12 am

nobabble

yeah.

1:12 am

jillibus

welcome to Canada, nobab :) There's a gathering gathering in the Victoria/SaltSpring area in July

1:12 am

nobabble

you don't know how good you have it when you're young. at least, i didn't.

1:12 am

Just1Mar

we have so many americans at McGill....

1:13 am

westford

she was trying to get Canadian citizenship I think

1:13 am

westford

followed her boyfriend

1:13 am

jillibus

I lived in NY when I was at McGill -- was a US Alien Resident, woohoo, spooky me, lol!

1:13 am

Just1Mar

worldclass university at prob 1/4 the cost of any of the same calibur in the US

1:14 am

nobabble

we'll take a visit up as soon as i scratch together the cash to get the kids' passports, and then wait for them to arrive.

1:14 am

westford

I know just a very good friend graduated from there

1:14 am

Just1Mar

for passports to arrive or kids lol?

1:14 am

jillibus

Yes indeed, mar :)

1:14 am

nobabble

*passports*. sheesh. have the kids.

1:15 am

Just1Mar

heh just making sure nobab!

1:15 am

nobabble

that'd be creepy. i wonder if you can use ultrasound pictures for passports...

1:15 am

westford

that would be so cool

1:15 am

nDanLia

that

1:16 am

nDanLia

will be soon - can't deliver w/o proper paperwork

1:17 am

Just1Mar

My nephew in Toronto is just about to launch a huge store that takes ultrasounds and makes up the photos...in all sizes even 3D plus lounges and shopping for mother to be and babies...etc etc

1:17 am

nDanLia

don't push 'til the mail is delivered...

1:17 am

jillibus

I had a choice of Columbia (Barnard for women in those days), Vassar, Mt Holyoke, I forget the others -- chose McGill because although there would be residence (none for Columbia because reachable by subway) it was still cheaper.

1:17 am

nobabble

ndanlia- now you're scaring me. i'm trying to figure out the homebirth loophole.

1:17 am

Just1Mar

cafe.....oh and colour photos I believe

1:17 am

westford

how nice just I hope he makes a go of it

1:18 am

westford

all good schools jilli very good

1:18 am

Just1Mar

I hope so too.....it's become a big thing here but most of them just do the ultrasound and photo nothing else

1:18 am

nobabble

the only person i know who went to mt holyoke is... not someone i like, we'll just say. columbia's alright. mcgill would be my pick from those as well, though.

1:19 am

Just1Mar

well but jilli went a long long time ago nobab

1:19 am

jillibus

Nice to hear, nobab!

1:19 am

westford

is that why you chose to live in Canada jilli?

1:19 am

Just1Mar

if you click on the icon here you can read about each person

1:20 am

nobabble

well, i assumed it was a while ago, since columbia's been coed for rather a while.

1:20 am

jillibus

partly, west -- met my hubby because I went to McGill (long story)

1:20 am

nobabble

my dad went to queens college, probably around the same time.

1:20 am

Just1Mar

oh ....didn't know its previous or present status nobab

1:20 am

jillibus

Queen's University, please.

1:21 am

Just1Mar

jilli in the states most say college even tho it's university..

1:21 am

nobabble

no, cuny. queens college.

1:21 am

Just1Mar

here college has a totally different connotation

1:22 am

Just1Mar

maybe you both mean different institutions...?

1:22 am

sprite

morning dear all!

1:22 am

jillibus

Mar - I know -- I used to live there, remember? Just being a stuffy Canadiaan now, lol

1:22 am

Just1Mar

Spritey!!!

1:23 am

westford

hi sprite

1:23 am

nDanLia

diff used to be college just gave bachelors, univs had sev schools & did grad degrees; now mix/match on names

1:23 am

jillibus

Hi sprite!

1:23 am

nobabble

i was thinking about new york city (where columbia is), which got me thinking about other colleges in teh city, which reminded me of the useless fact that my dad got a masters degree from queens college, in new york.

1:23 am

Just1Mar

I know you do jilli, but I don't think the yanks knew that

1:24 am

sprite

I got a reaction from MsABS about the tellytubbies' plague. She apologises sincerely. The kids had been shown a pic of only the grid, no URL, with the assignment to copy it and find 10 words as homework.

1:24 am

nobabble

(in 1956. he is somewhat younger than jillibus)

1:24 am

jillibus

Most yanks know zilch about Canada

1:24 am

westford

smart little creatures weren't they lol

1:25 am

sprite

what happened afterward shocked her. The kids have been lectured by her, by the school's principal and letters with pieces of the chat have been sent to their parents.

1:25 am

nobabble

"college" is... what, in canada?

1:25 am

Just1Mar

I only say yanks (dear americans) cause its shorter to spell and easier to type :D

1:25 am

westford

I wasn't there but read the chat OH MY !!

1:25 am

Just1Mar

wow that's taking it a little far spritey, don't you think?

1:25 am

nDanLia

i'll admit i didn't know nunavut/iqaluit until 2 yrs ago

1:26 am

westford

I was called a Yank by a Brit in a pub in London and was delighted

1:26 am

Just1Mar

I'm surprised that you do know now nDan.....any particular reason?

1:26 am

sprite

I think that is because last year something like this has happened as well, 1Mar. And the letter to the parents is mainly because they should know their little darlings give out personal information on the internet, on an adult website.

1:27 am

autumn moon

please tell me what happened with MsAbs. What did I miss?

1:27 am

jillibus

nobab, one of my other possibilities was Queens College in Queens, NY, lol, because I lived in Forest Hills, Queens, lol. I assumed you were referring to the Canadian Queen's University :)

1:27 am

Just1Mar

oh goody westie..then I'll just keep on and delight you somemore! :D

1:27 am

nDanLia

homeschool now 10yo - covered geog/hist 2 yrs ago

1:27 am

westford

I don't like canuck though

1:28 am

Just1Mar

I don't either

1:28 am

westford

you're all so nice and I've learned so much about your country here and in tangle

1:28 am

Just1Mar

it's like it was made to have a parallel with yanks

1:28 am

westford

what do you call yourselves?

1:28 am

Just1Mar

Canadians

1:28 am

Just1Mar

quebecois lolol

1:28 am

nobabble

canadians. from canadia.

1:29 am

jillibus

good question, west, lol!

1:29 am

nDanLia

yanks started out as a derogatory term

1:29 am

sprite

some babblers really jumped on MsAbs about it, people were very irritated. She wants us all to know she never meant this to happen, the kids weren't supposed to go on the internet with it at all. Just to write down some words after copying the grid.

1:29 am

westford

have just a little trouble with yank as I'm a sox fan lol

1:29 am

Just1Mar

How old are you, if I may ask nDan?

1:29 am

Just1Mar

lol westie

1:29 am

sprite

so... as she requested, I have given you her answers. Hi all, how is the grid?

1:29 am

nDanLia

mid 40s

1:30 am

Just1Mar

well then we both enjoyed Pedro Martinez for a while westie!

1:30 am

westford

grid is fun sprite

1:30 am

jillibus

"I'm a Yankeedoodle dandy..." not derogatory!

1:30 am

sprite

yayyyy! *jumps in with relish*

1:30 am

westford

ah yes the traitor lol

1:30 am

Just1Mar

I finished before cybernan....never did that before!

1:30 am

nobabble

so, wait, what happened? bunch of kids showed up on babble?

1:30 am

westford

but Yankee Doodle was

1:30 am

jillibus

ah, Pedro....sigh!

1:30 am

sprite

wtg 1Mar, lol

1:31 am

jillibus

it's a long story, nobab

1:31 am

westford

all wrapped up in the Celtics now

1:31 am

sprite

see chat log of 2 and 3 days ago for what happened

1:31 am

Just1Mar

well he played for the expos (actually being under Felipe Alou helped his pitching and career a lot) and left us for you

1:31 am

Just1Mar

celtics?

1:31 am

westford

and now he's with the Mets?

1:31 am

nDanLia

it was adopted, and about 200 y o now, so hist isnt remembered

1:32 am

westford

Celtics are basketball

1:32 am

Just1Mar

I don't know.....since the aholes at MLB pulled the plug on the Expos I don't have any interest in baseball anymore :(

1:32 am

sprite

did you get an answer from her as well, jilli?

1:32 am

jillibus

nobab, a year ago a bunch of kids in Australia came on and flung obscenities around for ages -- turned out they had been told about Babble as a project to improve theri vocabularies, lol!

1:32 am

Just1Mar

I know they are westie but you said it that's why I asked...

1:33 am

westford

oh

1:33 am

jillibus

no, sprite, she didn't reply

1:33 am

westford

they just might have a chance at winning first time in over 20 years

1:33 am

Just1Mar

so nDan you were doing the home schooling?

1:34 am

jillibus

re baseball I'm just like just1mar

1:34 am

nobabble

thanks. i think i'm all caught up now. scanning chat logs. weird.

1:34 am

nDanLia

yes - working on europe now

1:34 am

nobabble

homeschooling as the parent, i'm assuming.

1:34 am

westford

did they explain why they did away with the Expos?

1:34 am

sprite

ok, I thought something like that might be the matter. I was rather calm in my email, not at all sure she was to blame. Perhaps she felt more comfortable answering me and asking me to relay the message to you all... some people ate her alive, lol, and she understood completely why.

1:34 am

nobabble

(we homeschool, too)

1:35 am

jillibus

I was polite too, sprite

1:35 am

Just1Mar

yes and it's all bs

1:35 am

westford

did they move them?

1:35 am

sprite

I know, jilli, can't imagine you being rude at all.

1:35 am

westford

give them a new name?

1:35 am

jillibus

It was Claude Brochu, who was in it just to turn a fast buck

1:36 am

Just1Mar

they allowed the expos to be bought out from Bronfman to a bunch of incompetant greedy pigs and it was downhill from that point on

1:36 am

nobabble

you know, it's actually pretty impressive that babble chat hasn't been completely overrun by annoying people (myself not included).

1:36 am

Just1Mar

they're the washington nationals now :(

1:36 am

westford

all pro sports are all about the money now

1:36 am

autumn moon

Hey, Jilli. How many words do you have now?

1:36 am

sprite

must be quite a task, homeschool your kids. And don't they miss out on the social learning they do in school?

1:37 am

nobabble

yes! they miss out on all the terrible social situations created in school. thank goodness.

1:37 am

Just1Mar

or the social aspect of school?

1:37 am

sprite

we hope it never will, nobabble. This community is precious to a lot of babblers. We are a supportive bunch that appreciate eachother very much.

1:37 am

nobabble

instead, they just have regular friends they get together with, constantly.

1:37 am

jillibus

nobab, Dr_God can cut off objectionable intruders. But one horrible night he was asleep and a bunch of trolls took over for hours.

1:37 am

Just1Mar

I can understand that but do they have friends?

1:38 am

nDanLia

very active in sports & plays & library runs many afternoon programs & have large h/s networks here; univ also offer many summer & weekend acad mini-courses

1:38 am

nobabble

we're part of a homeschool group, which gets together weekly for park days, and various other outings and gatherings. plus we've got neighbor kids around, and various personal friends.

1:38 am

sprite

well, social learning is not only about friends. It is also about learning to handle situations with people you would never pick out yourself. As you will need to do in later life as well.

1:38 am

Just1Mar

I think that you've done a wise thing nDan

1:38 am

jillibus

autumn, I still have all of 2 words, lololol!

1:38 am

autumn moon

Homeschooled children have friends. That's like asking if stay at home moms have friends.

1:39 am

sprite

ah, that sounds good, nDan

1:39 am

Just1Mar

where do you live nDan?

1:39 am

autumn moon

Jill - and I still have 6. Been chatting on MSN instead of looking.

1:39 am

nobabble

sprite- and my kids get to learn to handle those situations in a natural way, with support as needed, rather than being tossed to the unsupervised wolves at recess starting at age 5.

1:39 am

sprite

wow jilli, you are on a roll!

1:39 am

jillibus

I've been chatting here, autumn :)

1:39 am

autumn moon

and with that, I am off to bed. Ni-night all

1:40 am

Night autumn -- you're late to bed!

1:40 am

mrpresident

hi all :)

1:40 am

Just1Mar

hi Mr P

1:40 am

jillibus

hi mrp! :D

1:40 am

westford

hi mrp

1:40 am

autumn moon

(don't work Fridays. Only Mon-Thur)

1:40 am

sprite

I was not attacking you, nobabble. I guess schools where you live are very different from here. Here the kids get all kinds of support at school as well.

1:41 am

sprite

hiya mrP! How has it gone today?

1:41 am

autumn moon

hi MrP, Night MrP

1:41 am

jillibus

I see, autumn -- and I have another word now, lol!

1:41 am

nDanLia

any good news mrp

1:41 am

nobabble

homeschooling is not at all common in the netherlands, i have gathered.

1:42 am

mrpresident

wow nobabble... i think you are attacking actually

1:42 am

nobabble

and yes, schools seems rather a lot better in that area of the world, though i would still likely prefer to keep my kids with me a lot more.

1:42 am

nobabble

i'm sorry if i seem to be attacking. i am not meaning to.

1:43 am

sprite

nope, totally not. Very small country. Schools are always very nearby, not big, and with very good teachers mostly.

1:43 am

jillibus

I'm glad I went to the schools I went to, and there were quite a few.

1:43 am

sprite

but mrP... today was D-Day, right? How did it go?

1:43 am

nobabble

alas, not so much the same here. schools are big, with overworked and stressed teachers. :(

1:44 am

westford

my little granddaughter will be 5 in June and going to kindergarten her parents both work so it's not possible to home school I worry about her

1:44 am

Arisha

sorry to interrupt the conversation but may i please have the email address to get expert

1:44 am

nobabble

but our homeschooling group is big, and friendly, and diverse, and we enjoy our days spent being kids (well, the kids get to be kids :) ), and playing, and learning everywhere. so, we're happy. i wish the schools were better, even if i'd rather not use them.

1:44 am

Gadget

stuck with 18 left...g'nite

1:45 am

jillibus

I keep tryin to enter "crit" as in hematocrit, but no

1:45 am

sprite

in my son's class was a big bully, and school did everything to regulate his behaviour. Better still, they payed even more attention to the kids that had trouble with the bully. All learned from it, and no-one suffered lasting pain. I am very impressed with how school handled it.

1:45 am

sprite

I want critted... as in what a critter does. But no ;)

1:45 am

nobabble

and i keep seeing "nintendo", but not only is it not a word, it's not in the grid, either.

1:45 am

sprite

bye Gadget

1:46 am

sprite

did mrP leave again?

1:46 am

mrpresident

it went great sprite, I have way too many doctors on board... 3 surgeons, 2 anaethetists, 1 microbiologist and a shrink.

1:46 am

night gadget :)

1:46 am

Just1Mar

Click on Lickety's Babble Clues under the grid....I am sure his address is there

1:46 am

nDanLia

that rarely happens here sprite, schools afraid of suits from bullies' parents - several cases in paper in last year

1:46 am

mrpresident

but, many docs means the plan is well under way...

1:46 am

Arisha

thank you Just

1:46 am

nobabble

several stories in the papers this week about teachers-as-bullies, for that matter. :(

1:46 am

jillibus

Arisha, it's Lickety's address, at the bottom of his page.

1:46 am

sprite

ah, there you are, mrP :)
I am glad it went well. And very good they surround you with a good team. You will need it! How are you feeling?

1:47 am

Just1Mar

yw!

1:47 am

sprite

nDan: they made up a contract, with bully and his parents, at last. If the rules in it would be violated again, the kid would have had to leave school. They take bullying very seriously here.

1:48 am

jillibus

Arisha, to get your flag etc, go to your My Account and check the little square in the upper right corner where it says Show Profile

1:48 am

westford

bottom line they just don't pay teachers enough

1:48 am

sprite

hiya Arisha, welcome to pro-dom ;)

1:48 am

mrpresident

Feeling scared! I hate being put under... I hate the pain... I hate being away from home for weeks at a time, but I will get over this!!

1:48 am

jillibus

hear hear west. My d-i-l is a teacher.

1:49 am

nobabble

sprite: how old is the bully?

1:49 am

sprite

you will, mrP, but it is not a picnic. I can imagine you being scared. *hugggggs*

1:49 am

sprite

12 now, nobabble

1:49 am

mrpresident

thanks ((hugs back))

1:49 am

Just1Mar

I so feel for ya MrP ....

1:49 am

nobabble

westford: other bottom line, it's not clear that in the current educational/school climate, you COULD pay teachers enough. :-/

1:49 am

jillibus

Mrp -- you certainly WILL get over it all and be much better for it

1:49 am

westford

I like her picture jilli she looks like such a kind person

1:50 am

westford

that's true nobab but there are still some good souls out there that really care about the children

1:50 am

jillibus

She is a marvel, west

1:50 am

nDanLia

big thing here is that would hurt the self-esteem, but now the victims are standing up more & contacting media; nob - yes, too many teachers are coming up as not caring or now being caught in the stings, sary

1:50 am

Just1Mar

I understand what you're saying nobab....

1:50 am

nobabble

there are. even many of them.

1:50 am

mrpresident

when Luke was bullied, I brought the bully home with me... that sorted all the problems right there and then.

1:50 am

nobabble

every teacher i know *really* cares.

1:51 am

nobabble

but it's so hard for them.

1:51 am

jillibus

mrp, what a bold and beautiful thing to do!

1:51 am

nDanLia

the good ones get taken advantage of & too often burn out

1:51 am

westford

oh I know it is the money is spent on everything but education and that's the most important

1:52 am

mrpresident

the school bully is no longer a bully and he spends alot of time with us... it was his PARENTS that didn't give a damn about him, not the teachers

1:52 am

sprite

we tried that, mrP. But this kid comes from a whole family of bullies... no cure there, without the parents' realisation there might be something wrong at home. But school made it work anyway. Very impressive.
This school cares about kids, and about schooling, and about making it fun. Can't imagine the extra time they spend on making things special.

1:52 am

westford

bullying usually has an underlying reason

1:52 am

jillibus

Um, don't the parents have something to do with the kids' attitude toward teachers?

1:52 am

Just1Mar

it's our society in general.....too many single parent families that cannot be there for their kids

1:53 am

sprite

absolutely, jilli!

1:53 am

westford

or want teachers to handle it all

1:53 am

westford

I still have very fond memories of my teachers a few in particular

1:54 am

nobabble

just1- that's unfair. do you really not know single parents who *are* there for their kids?

1:54 am

nobabble

i have nothing but huge respect for the single parents i know, who are making it work.

1:54 am

sprite

I have always believed in joining forces, between teachers and parents.

1:54 am

sprite

single parenting is a very heavy job, but some manage it wonderfully

1:54 am

Just1Mar

not personally but yes I know that many are...it's just that very many are not

1:55 am

jillibus

back in the undark ages, when a kid was reprimanded at school the parents back up the teachers. Now it seems in some schools the parents sue the teachers for scolding the little horrors

1:55 am

nobabble

i think the lack of being their for their kids is as much, or more, a social problem for two parent families.

1:55 am

nDanLia

if anyone in my class growing up ever got in trouble at school

1:55 am

westford

our 3rd daughter was divorced when her baby was 6 mos old we've been her support

1:55 am

sprite

luckily, that isn't normally the ca4 here yet, jilli.

1:55 am

westford

baby is 20 now

1:55 am

nobabble

adults who want to live the same life they had, the life they're promised on tv, school can take care of the kids just keep 'em out of my hair.

1:55 am

nDanLia

, 5 times over at home; diff times now

1:55 am

Just1Mar

I'm not putting them down and don't understand why you'd jump to that conclusion.....it's just a fact of life these days given the way we live today

1:56 am

westford

good analogy nobab

1:56 am

sprite

that is great, west. It really helps if a single parent gets support from grandparents.

1:56 am

nobabble

just1: i just think it's putting the blame on something which i think is a symptom, not a cause.

1:57 am

sprite

yeah... stupid parents, these, nobabble. Missing out on all the important things their kids go through, and not giving them what they need.

1:57 am

and doesn't time fly?

1:57 am

sprite

it does, west :)

I am going to play, the chat is becoming a touch too hostile to my taste atm.

1:57 am

Just1Mar

I'm not looking to argue with you. I am telling you my thoughts on the matter...that's all

1:58 am

nobabble

you know, speaking of giving my kids what they need, i should get to bed so i'm not SuperGrouchMama in the morning.

1:58 am

Just1Mar

1:59 am

sprite

lolol jilli! Great one.

1:59 am

nobabble

it's not single parenting that's the problem, it's the shedding of responsibilities like last year's coat. across the board. y'know?

1:59 am

westford

I'm glad you stayed too just

1:59 am

Just1Mar

thx guys glad to have had fun chatting (((hugs))) poof

you still around, mrP? I wanted to ask if they gave you any schedule or plans.

2:03 am

mrpresident

yes they did... it is in my profile :)
I can give you more detail if you like?

2:03 am

sprite

would love to hear about it. Helps me to send very intense healing vibes your way :)

2:06 am

mrpresident

The good thing is, it is a long term plan, so if it fails, I can keep doing the same thing until it does work... that way, I don't lose my limb.

2:07 am

sprite

that is a very good thing

2:07 am

sprite

also, the 18th is very soon. Waiting sucks, to be blunt. So I am happy it won't be too long.

2:08 am

VolleymomDee

hi all!!

2:08 am

mrpresident

It has freaked out my social scene and work collegues... they are all so worried about it being so soon, I would rather it be over about 3 years ago! LOL!! so yes, dont want to wait

2:09 am

mrpresident

hi dee :)

2:09 am

(side note: 2nd day in a row I am finding the 'on the ocean' word all by myself!)

2:12 am

VolleymomDee

ty sprite, you 2

2:13 am

sprite

I am doing that, nowadays, Dee. Seriously. Socks and shawls, and a blanket when I nap in the afternoon. May sound like I am an old woman, but it feels so much better ;)

2:14 am

VolleymomDee

I totally agree! I have 4 different throws on my hair in the family room. I bundle up all year long; I love to snuggle in my chair and read.

2:15 am

sprite

me too :D
I had to learn, though. Never allowed myself such things. But wow, it is wonderful now.

2:16 am

sprite

jilli, did you go to bed without me noticing? Or are you beneath the surface of the grid?

2:16 am

ajv74

Are ni's related?

2:17 am

sprite

I have 2 so far, not related.

2:18 am

ajv74

I just monkeyed that last ni. Now I hace only 11 left...

2:18 am

sprite

I still have 30 to go. Probably not much help, am I.

2:18 am

ajv74

And 5 of them are c's and 6 s's...

2:20 am

sprite

I think a nird is a dyslectic nerd.

2:21 am

hi lyn!

2:24 am

lol lyn, yes, I did! Second day in a row I found it all by myself! Am I learning or what :)
How are you today?

2:25 am

lynxxx

I'm good - and my second word was the frog - I'm improving! How is it all with you, and husband?

2:28 am

sprite

wtg lyn :)
We are managing quite well together. We go through the days giving eachother some space and some support, we distribute the things that have to be done and do so without fighting.
Also sorted out some financial stuff yesterday, which gave us some true relief. Other than that... it is a tough period of time, lyn. But we will get through it.

2:28 am

ajv74

All so's found! Only 6 words left...

2:28 am

yay ajv! go girrrrrrl!

may sound stupid, but I find again that love is what is pulling is through. Love, humor and communication.

2:31 am

KatieMcG

that is lovely sprite :-)

2:31 am

ajv74

I think "cosad" could be a person helping unhappy people, but it doesn't exist in the dictionary.

2:32 am

sprite

it is, in a way, Katie. Some very basic things... like saying what is on our mind, using 'I' and not 'you'. Being honest about what we need. And making clear we do not expect the other to give us that, just to help making it possible.

2:32 am

sprite

I think I would prefer a 'cohap' then, ajv :D

2:33 am

sprite

got all the Cs, btw, so if you need help, just yell.

2:34 am

2:54 am

she had to go to the hospital after she left me and i was wondering how it went

2:55 am

jillibus

phooey, babrab!

2:55 am

2:56 am

Andree

jilli lunch was great, chinese, yummy and mrp is a doll

2:56 am

jillibus

she said she met with amny docs of various kinds

2:56 am

jillibus

that's many

2:56 am

o-o

and I have a saying little grids have little value

2:57 am

sprite

part is in her profile, Andree. She told us it went very well. In addition to her profile text she told us it is a long term plan, which means that if it shouldn't work, it can be done again until it does work, and she does not have to lose the limb. Also she said she was happy it would be soon (the surgery).

2:57 am

jillibus

oops, PB for me I C

2:58 am

o-o

didn't recall "phooey" being the grid

2:58 am

Andree

speak for youself babble, i have just got home after a busy day and am glad its small, i had no time to finish yesterday

2:58 am

sprite

LOL jilli. What's your fancy... milk and banana? A night cap?

2:58 am

Thats true BR, little grid are of little value. The big ones are worth lots more points

2:59 am

7:45 am

kje

7:45 am

redturtlehead

hi Haz

8:50 am

Atalante

I'm afraid George isn't allowed to be totty today

8:50 am

Haz1558

Well, not exactly her - we didn't have a digital camera in those days and I've never got round to scanning pictures of her.

8:50 am

Atalante

ooops

8:50 am

Haz1558

Still - it's like her.

8:50 am

Atalante

near enough :D

8:51 am

KrisE

Haz, is your icon a clue today? :)

8:51 am

Haz1558

The major disadvantage of dalmatians is that they shed hair, all day, every day. But great fun companions.

8:52 am

Atalante

and bounce all day every day?

8:52 am

Haz1558

Yes, it's a clue to two words (do5 and do6) It's not very subtle, I'm afraidl

8:52 am

Haz1558

Yes, lots of energy. She used to walk to school with me to pick up the girls and the children queued up for pats.

8:52 am

Judi

Hiya, Haz@

8:52 am

Haz1558

Hello Judi!

8:53 am

Uniquity

It seems Hazel only cares for beautiful dogs. What'sup with that?!

8:53 am

Atalante

awwwww

8:53 am

Atalante

I have a beautiful dog as my pic!!

8:53 am

Haz1558

Hello Uniquity! Yes, I like beautiful dogs, I get pleasure from looking at them. I'm so shallow!

8:53 am

Atalante

oh. I misread that. LOL

8:54 am

Uniquity

Haha...her tongue looks so big in that picture!!

8:54 am

Atalante

it is. its as big as her backside easily

8:55 am

Haz1558

Are you sure it's her tongue? It could be a slice of ham being snaffled.

8:55 am

Haz1558

What time do you start work, Uniquity?

8:56 am

Atalante

it could well be ....

8:56 am

Uniquity

Her tongue is bigger than my Jake..She could swallow him whole! I just have a short shift today, 5-9. Supposed to be a quiet time...Ease me into it maybe?

8:57 am

Haz1558

Ah, so you have time to babble before you go.

8:58 am

Atalante

hobbit is panting at my feet at the moment. She's just been chasing next door's cat around the garden and up into our willow

8:58 am

Uniquity

I've already finished babble...and it is just 11 am my time. I see a nap in my future..

8:59 am

Haz1558

Good for you. It's a very short grid today, not even that many brain teasers.

8:59 am

KrisE

PB haz!

9:00 am

Haz1558

What did I do?

9:00 am

KrisE

You said a Wooooord -- to5; there will be a lot of that this Friday

Atalante

9:01 am

Atalante

KrisE

pabtrek, looks like there are 11

9:04 am

Uniquity

c + double vowel + another double vowel + past tense or plural.

9:04 am

Haz1558

Uni, I notice that you're reading 44 Scotland Street? How are you getting on with it? Don't you feel sorry for Bertie?

9:05 am

morning all

9:11 am

Haz1558

Jacula actually posted across the Bertie book to me, I then passed it on to my sister. It was hilarious.

9:11 am

Well, I'm off to shuffle papers here at work. Slow day so far. Have a good weekend, everyone! *poof*

9:11 am

Haz1558

Bye Kris.

9:12 am

Uniquity

I love Bertie...he is a character I really got involved with. And his nursery school teacher is not a vacca, his Mum is :)

9:12 am

sadie52

congrats pab

9:12 am

pabtrek

thanks

9:12 am

Haz1558

I know. The story develops beautifully with Bertie trying desperately just to be a normal boy.

9:13 am

Uniquity

The use of "creation" in relation to Bertie gets me all riled up. I read it in a day or two so I was thinking about it a lot.

9:14 am

Haz1558

It is just a story, but there are probably lots of Bertie and Irenes everywhere..

9:16 am

Uniquity

At least the phrase "Indigo child" wasn't used yet. Fiction gets me so upset sometimes, :)

9:17 am

Atalante

Indigo child??

9:18 am

Haz1558

Children born after 1970's thought to be a higher state of evolution. Isn't google great?

9:18 am

Uniquity

Yes...indigo children are theoretically more evolved and far superior than all others. Mothers usually think they deserve better than the best and are...well...nuts.

9:18 am

Uniquity

It's just an extreme version of "my kids an uber-genius"

9:18 am

Atalante

oooooooo

9:19 am

Atalante

especially when someone else googles things for you!!

9:19 am

Haz1558

See, this is where I fall down in the smug stakes. I should have pretended to know what Uniquity was talking about all along.

9:20 am

jessic4

bye all,better get some jobs done

9:20 am

Haz1558

You mean Lori doesn't think you're a genius? Has she not damaged your psyche by being less than complimentary?

9:20 am

Uniquity

To be fair, I learned it from books and an episode of CSI :)

9:20 am

Haz1558

Bye jess.

9:21 am

Haz1558

Well, if you learned it from books, that's great. CSI just backed it up.

9:21 am

Uniquity

I should take this issue up with her...but extremists believe that other inferior children oughtn't exist. So that might result in murder. Bad idea.

9:21 am

Haz1558

Oh well, that's taking things FAR too far. It's one thing to be a doting parent, quite another to wish ill on others.

9:22 am

Uniquity

I doubt it is that common to be that extreme. Maybe only in fiction. Hopefully only in fiction.

9:23 am

Haz1558

I'm hoping it's only in fiction as well, but people are capable of monstrous things.

9:23 am

Atalante

just ask Jordan

9:24 am

Haz1558

Ah, Jordan.

9:25 am

Uniquity

Jordan?

9:25 am

Atalante

there's one woman who shouldn't have reproduced!

9:25 am

Atalante

google "jordan and peter"

9:25 am

Haz1558

Google Jordan and Peter Andre. Have a bucket ready.

9:25 am

Atalante

especially their wedding

9:26 am

Uniquity

Okay, looking.

9:26 am

Haz1558

You remember Jordan, Uniquity - mother of Princess Tiiiiiiiiaaaaaammmmmmmmmiiiiiii.

9:26 am

Atalante

and the creator of THE DRESS

9:26 am

Haz1558

And you know how I deplore excessive letters. She named that child to annoy me, I'm convinced.

9:26 am

Atalante

no, not creator, inspiration for

9:27 am

Uniquity

Well...I have lots of tabloid trash. Not learning much other than that they love the limelight.

9:27 am

Uniquity

Whoa, just got a shot of her bust. Who are these people?!

9:27 am

Haz1558

Google images - the DRESS is there.

9:27 am

Vicuna

Good day, fair damsels.

9:27 am

Atalante

looool

9:28 am

Haz1558

Hello Vicuna. You've joined us at a high point in the conversation.

9:28 am

Vicuna

Ah, Jordan again, I see.

9:28 am

Uniquity

That's a large dress....nearly makes her bust seem proportionate.

9:28 am

Atalante

hi vi!

9:28 am

SharonRA

if uncooth is a word, cooth should be too.

9:28 am

Haz1558

Yes. Blame Atalante, in FM's absence.

9:28 am

Uniquity

They look like Barbie and Ken...

9:28 am

Atalante

she has various children by various different footballers

9:28 am

Vicuna

Yeah, but it would be couth.

9:29 am

Atalante

and "pop stars"

9:29 am

Haz1558

They sing, Uniquity. It's worse than Vicuna.

9:29 am

Vicuna

lol, Haz.

9:29 am

Uniquity

...how many letters in Tiami? Tiiaammii? This is ludicrous.

9:30 am

Uniquity

These people are orange. There is nothing right in their world.

9:30 am

Haz1558

It's a made up name. They actually call the baby Princess. Enough said.

9:30 am

Uniquity

I cannot google any further.

9:30 am

Atalante

lmao

9:30 am

harpjane

hello

9:30 am

Vicuna

Nice icon clue, harpjane! lol

9:31 am

Haz1558

The thing is, they take themselves seriously. THEY are the product. And people buy stuff about them.

9:31 am

Haz1558

Hello harpjane.

9:31 am

featherbee

omg. just googled the dress. her boobs look like melons!!!

9:31 am

harpjane

how many letters is the bottom row a?

9:31 am

Uniquity

Jordan was born with five names,I see. Raised for the insanity.

9:31 am

Atalante

she has her own very classy perfume

9:31 am

harpjane

thanks vic

9:31 am

bootshoe

they missed the word fritto

9:31 am

harpjane

does anyone have an icon clue today?

9:31 am

Haz1558

She has actually had the chest expanders reduced to more natural proportions.

9:31 am

Haz1558

I do, harpjane!

9:31 am

Uniquity

She ran for election and offered free breast implants. This must be stopped.

9:32 am

Haz1558

She just loves publicity, full stop. We're playing into her hands. Aaargh!

9:32 am

harpjane

lol haz different versions of the same word, you and i?

9:33 am

Uniquity

Her proportions are far from natural, methinks. There is nothing about her that I would ever look at and say real.

9:33 am

Haz1558

So we do, harpjane.

9:34 am

Vicuna

Hmm... not a lot of good icon options, methinks...

9:34 am

Haz1558

But that's what she wanted, Uniquity. Stand out from the crowd. Have such a big bust that nobody could get within five feet of her.

9:34 am

Uniquity

I'm glad we Canadians offer mostly comedians, rather than trashy musicians/models, etc :D

9:34 am

Atalante

how she rides horses properly and doesn't topple over their necks, I'll never know

9:34 am

Haz1558

It's pretty limited today, Vicuna.

9:35 am

Haz1558

We're deeply ashamed, Uniquity. She hasn't conquered the global market yet, and hopefully she never will.

9:35 am

Haz1558

She has the most ghastly speaking voice - all whiney and monotone.

9:35 am

Haz1558

Apart from that I don't have strong feelings about her.

9:36 am

Uniquity

No, no feelings at all.

9:36 am

Atalante

her husband is just as bad

9:37 am

Haz1558

He's Australian, isn't he?

9:37 am

Haz1558

Or does Cyprus claim him as a favourite son?

9:37 am

Atalante

both adore him

9:38 am

Haz1558

Is it true he's to be given The Australian Order of The Kangaroo for services to Australian emigration?

9:38 am

Atalante

Kangaroo Poo maybe

9:39 am

Vicuna

There. I'm a clue. Not a very exciting one, but oh well.

9:39 am

Haz1558

It's a good one, the explanation helps.

9:40 am

Atalante

good pic

9:41 am

Vicuna

It just seems so hard to believe that with all these letters, one can't get either teeth or tooth.

9:41 am

Atalante

or sooey

9:42 am

Vicuna

Or detox.

9:45 am

Vicuna

Apparently the chat is now officially de4/6.

9:45 am

Uniquity

Off topic, but does everyone who uses firefox know of the imminent release of FF3? THey are trying to break a world record for most software downloads in one day.

9:46 am

Atalante

i already have the beta version

9:47 am

Uniquity

Yeah..they released that much earlier. I don't know what the numbers are, but that might decrease the whole world record breaking part.

9:47 am

Haz1558

Is that a cue for smug?

9:47 am

Haz1558

Could a mass download cause internet failure in a corner or two of the globe?

9:48 am

Haz1558

Is this something we should be actively considering?

9:49 am

Uniquity

I like going to the pledge map and see some rather unexpected countries planning to download it.(No need to do it Haz, I am just being a corporate sell-out :))

9:49 am

Haz1558

Has Ballymena pledged yet?

9:51 am

Uniquity

So, I've just looked up Ballymena as my geography is...non-existant. You're in Ireland??

9:52 am

Vicuna

(Northern Ireland.)

9:53 am

Haz1558

Northern Ireland. County Antrim.

9:54 am

Haz1558

Ballymena is the town. It's just that some people around here think that the word begins and ends in it!

9:54 am

Vicuna

Maybe it's Haz's imagination we're all figments of.

9:54 am

Uniquity

I'm glad I never took Geography. I would go loopy.

9:55 am

Vicuna

Or do5/16, perhaps?

9:56 am

Haz1558

I don't think people do geography the way we used to. Or at least, they don't learn capital cities and rough ideas about countries.

9:56 am

Atalante

then she could be a dalmatian :D

9:56 am

Uniquity

Cullybackery...I love google maps. Quite the names. (I was never taught ANY geography. I know our provinces, that is it).

9:57 am

Atalante

I distinctly remember learning about the wheat crops of Saskatchewan in geography

9:57 am

Haz1558

Cullybackey - not far from here! One of my favourite names is in Co Londonderry - Tamlaght O'Crilly.

9:57 am

Vicuna

I had a very poor geographical education, but I got tired of the ignorance and eventually sat down and learned at least the countries on my own.

9:57 am

Haz1558

Or Ballymatoskerty, it has a ring to it.

9:58 am

Uniquity

Balleymoney st!

9:58 am

Vicuna

One of my favorite place names is Throg's Neck. I always imagine a throg to be sort of a long-necked frog.

9:58 am

Haz1558

I know what you mean, Vicuna. I tend to look at an atlas to get my bearings.

9:58 am

Atalante

I like Nebnett Thrubwell

9:59 am

Vicuna

Ooo, me too, Ata.

9:59 am

Haz1558

The Bally in Ballymoney and Ballymena is pronounce Balla, rather than with the y.

9:59 am

Atalante

and I always wanted to live in STrawberry

10:00 am

nancethefan

hey y'all - hugggggggsssssssss

10:00 am

Uniquity

This is fun. I have no sense of direction though. I can find Africa, USA, Canada...that's about it. My ignorance of international affairs will continue for some time.

10:00 am

rururocks

I am wondering why detoad doesn't work then?

10:00 am

rururocks

lol

10:00 am

rururocks

hi everyone

10:01 am

Vicuna

Have you been sufferring an infestation, rururocks? lol

10:01 am

Haz1558

Hello ruru and nance.

10:01 am

Atalante

what about Australia?

10:01 am

Haz1558

It's big.

10:02 am

nancethefan

hey haz

10:03 am

Atalante

big enough for Uni to able to find?

10:03 am

Uniquity

I have found somewhere called Cootamundra in Australia. I want to live there.

10:03 am

Haz1558

The Bill Bryson book on Australia is fun. An original title 'Down Under'

10:03 am

Uniquity

Bimbi state forest...like Steve Irwin's daughter? Or is she like the place?

10:03 am

Haz1558

He didn't come across any babblers, as far as I can tell.

10:04 am

Haz1558

Was she Bindi?

10:04 am

Atalante

bindi!

10:04 am

rururocks

babblers are a secret lot

10:04 am

Uniquity

Oooh, n not m. :(

10:04 am

Haz1558

You've got to be joking, ruru. Some of them will tell you more than you ever need to know!

10:05 am

Uniquity

*cough*. Secretive...pah.

10:05 am

rururocks

I ... AM... ALWAYS .. joking haz

10:05 am

Vicuna

Haz is right. Many a fact that should definitely have been secret is not.

10:05 am

Atalante

a lot more

10:05 am

Haz1558

Oh good, ruru!

10:06 am

Vicuna

Okay, dooty calls (as found in the grid to5/16). Back later for more fun and secrets.

10:06 am

rururocks

I guess you need to have bitty when you enter itty

10:06 am

Haz1558

See you later, Vicuna.

10:06 am

nancethefan

10:43 am

KrisE

np bootshoe -

10:44 am

KrisE

Did you get my icon clue, boots?

10:48 am

bootshoe

i am new to this, what is an icon clue?

10:48 am

bootshoe

this is my third puzzle on babble and i am only 5 words away from finished

10:49 am

kje

bbot - on Fridays, some people change their icons to be a clue for a word in the grid - Kris's icon is a clue...mine is not

10:49 am

KrisE

there's an icon theme each day (listed from Lickety's Babble clues). The theme for this day is to find a word from the grid and put a picture of it in your icon (for pro users who can do icons)

10:49 am

KrisE

Only your 3rd puzzle? You must be very good!

10:51 am

bootshoe

the hardest thing is finding the time to complete the puzzle... i was only about 15 away yesterday when i had to quit.

10:51 am

KrisE

Well, yes, that is a challenge.

10:51 am

kje

yes, yesterday's was long...I may move my limit down from 300 to 250 -

10:51 am

rururocks

I got within nine yesterday and didn't allot enough time to finihs

10:52 am

KrisE

I've been doing this a few months, and I always depend on help from good players like Temple Owl, kje, and rururocks! (and others)

10:53 am

kje

if it is more than 300, it just wears me down and I don't really enjoy it by the end

10:53 am

KrisE

I didn't play yesterday - I'd still be working on it if I had.

10:53 am

KrisE

brb

10:54 am

rururocks

yesterday's grid was more challenging because so many of the larger words were similar and hard to keep track of

10:54 am

bootshoe

i hate the four letter words. process of elimination can get you most of them. the fun part is finding the 8 and 9 letter words. using the point numbers and your vocabulary to solve those...

10:54 am

kje

I still haven't bought a car - dreading dealing with the salesman - ugh

10:54 am

kje

if I could just walk in and pay and walk out it would be so much easier

10:54 am

72 Temple Owl

well i am going to the supermarket to grab some lunch - c u later and happy babbling to all!

10:55 am

kje

bye TO - didn't realize you were still here!! HAGD!

10:55 am

72 Temple Owl

ty - i was sidetracked by wrok :/

10:55 am

KrisE

bye TO

10:56 am

kje

that damn pesky wrok

10:56 am

KrisE

I can't do the 8-letter words unless they are ed, est, less, or the like

10:56 am

72 Temple Owl

LOl beats work any day LOL

10:58 am

KrisE

Sometimes I can't get the 4-letter-words, either :)

10:59 am

KrisE

and it's always funny which bunches of letters are words and which aren't

10:59 am

kje

any given day, any given owrd, Kris - they can all elude us at different times

11:00 am

KrisE

it's easy to get stuck on one letter position
