1:25 am

1:26 am

Just1Mar

really amazing...it was like a 13 minute thing on it..

1:26 am

jillibus

my suggestion had an ulterior meaning, kiwi, lol

1:26 am

Just1Mar

do you live in Amsterdam?

1:27 am

GroovyKiwi

yeah well lets just not go there cause im not in the best frame of mind about him at the moment lol

1:27 am

sprite

that is SO long! WOnderful. No, we don't anymore, left Amsterdam when we decided we would like to raise kids. But we are about 20 min's drive away from Amsterdam now.

1:27 am

sprite

ok, I don't REALLY mind militia being a phantom. Much.

1:27 am

Just1Mar

I'm not sure if it just opened but it's prob more new than not

1:27 am

nDanLia

waffle topped by strawberries, blueberries, mand oranges, french vanilla i/c & walnuts

1:28 am

GroovyKiwi

that mabye just a bit over the top for me dan lolol

1:28 am

jillibus

Can anyone think of an EASY make-ahead dessert with NO dairy or wheat flour in it? Other than fresh fruit, I mean.

1:28 am

sprite

will definitely ask hubby or check the internet, 1Mar. Sounds like something worth visiting, with the kids too.

1:29 am

sprite

ohhhhh nDan... yes please :D

1:29 am

Just1Mar

yes I think so spritey....I'd go if we had something like that here!

1:29 am

westford

what about apple crisp?

1:30 am

westford

you could leave the flour out of the streusel

1:30 am

jillibus

kiwi -- I meant YOU for the raspberry fool, lol! You can take it to the PB :)

1:30 am

GroovyKiwi

ok i have just been embarrased by my logan's knowledge of computers being more than mine and i thought i knew heaps rofl

1:30 am

jillibus

flour in the crisp, west :(

1:30 am

sprite

I would go for a fresh fruit salade. Maybe topped with molten chocolate.

1:30 am

westford

I know I said you could leave it out

1:31 am

westford

what's it for jilli?

1:31 am

jillibus

I said other than fresh fruit, and I'm not sure about the chocolate (maybe allergen), and that's not make-ahead

1:32 am

GroovyKiwi

maybe hang around for herin shes good at thinking about foods that need to be free of stuff

1:32 am

jillibus

it's for 7 people, including mega-allergic stidmama and two teenage boys

1:32 am

westford

hard to think of something without flour could you use oat flour or something?

1:32 am

sprite

jilli, I know you said other than, I just said that is what I would do. And I would put the chocolate on it beforehand, so it could set.
But am thinking for you.

1:33 am

jillibus

don't want to bake. Spelt flour is ok -- but you see my problem!

1:34 am

jillibus

I should say I won't have time to bake.

1:34 am

nDanLia

type of italian ice , hard to think

1:34 am

westford

one of my cousins's always brings a platter of sliced granny smith apples ( there's that fruit again ) arranges them around the edge and puts caramel sauce in the middle for dipping

1:35 am

sprite

I have a recipe for making spelt flour crust, but if you don't want to bake, I will not try and find it and translate it. So... no diary, no flour, no baking and no fruit. Doesn't leave much room for a solution.

1:35 am

GroovyKiwi

how about a shaved ice concoction with fruit salad on the bottom and some fruit juice over the top

1:35 am

GroovyKiwi

or just expand on westies idea and just do a big fruit platter

1:36 am

jillibus

sounds good, but not make-ahead?

1:36 am

jillibus

here we go again with the fresh fruit!!!

1:37 am

GroovyKiwi

well it is the easiest jilli lol

1:37 am

VolleymomDee

1:37 am

westford

peanut brittle

1:37 am

westford

1:38 am

2:41 am

Lorrie_in_SA

The pain is to be expected with what she had done, but let us all hope this works for her!

2:43 am

***stoopid a's. 4 preventing me from greying out bottom row*** poopy

4:16 am

Haz1558

I feel a tantrum coming.

4:16 am

Haz1558

From which tile do you miss a?

4:17 am

LoriP

I'm emotionally expressive. Tantrum maks it sound so un-premeditated.

4:17 am

LoriP

I've moved on to the next row. I'm pouting, and have purple crayond it for now.

4:18 am

Haz1558

So the next time I see a harassed parent with a toddler, I should comfort them with the thought 'They're just being emotionally expressive'.

4:18 am

LoriP

Yes, it'd be tremendously trendy. :D

4:19 am

Haz1558

I was hopelessly untrendy with my children, I've decided.

4:20 am

LoriP

Same here. One of the many traumas they'll carry from their childhood.

4:20 am

Haz1558

Yes. One of mine still recalls the trauma of being marched back to the shop to give back a lollipop she had swiped. I had said no, she had thought 'Why not?'.

4:21 am

Haz1558

She found out why not!

4:21 am

LoriP

You taught the child the "why not" part? That's practically abusive, isn't it?

4:22 am

Haz1558

Absolutely. I've escaped jail by a whisker.

4:23 am

Haz1558

Right, must put in another load of laundry. Back later.

4:25 am

LoriP

Later Haz. I must soon toddle as well. Half an hour left before spawnling time.

4:49 am

Haz1558

Good morning Pink and Becca.

4:49 am

gramma

Hello fellow babblers. With one fifth of the grid grayed out, I'm jumping in.

4:49 am

Becca Lorum

Now that is good news Haz!

4:50 am

Becca Lorum

Hi gramma

4:50 am

Haz1558

Good morning gramma - jumping into chat rather than the river, I hope?

4:50 am

Lorrie_in_SA

Go for it gramma! :)

4:50 am

Becca Lorum

Ugh, I've just noticed there are 3 words beg. with x!!

4:51 am

Haz1558

Don't panic, Becca, the good news is that they're not too difficult.

4:51 am

gramma

I'm actually going to ignore the chat (as best I can) and try finding some words

4:52 am

Haz1558

We're not offended, gramma. (Putting gramma's name down in the chat ignorers list)

4:53 am

gramma

Ooooh nooo, not the LIST, anything but the list

4:53 am

Haz1558

Darn. We're both in the PB now.

4:53 am

gramma

oops

4:53 am

Haz1558

That li4/4 is going to cause major overcrowding today.

4:54 am

Haz1558

Because there are li6/21 to the PB's capacity.

4:54 am

gramma

See, that's what happens when you chat instead of babble

4:54 am

Becca Lorum

nice clue Haz, thanks

4:55 am

Haz1558

Nobody else noticed. They're too busy wrestling with x words.

4:55 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Becca.

4:55 am

Becca Lorum

still haven't found those x words though

4:56 am

Haz1558

Do you want clues?

4:56 am

Becca Lorum

yes please

4:56 am

Haz1558

The last one in the series is xe5/20 - xe plus the opposite of yes in French.

4:57 am

Haz1558

The penultimate is xe5/22 - xe plus the start of the Christmas saint.

4:57 am

Haz1558

The first one mirrors the structure of the xe5/22 but it ends in a vowel.

4:58 am

Becca Lorum

Whoop! Thanks Haz!

4:58 am

Haz1558

You're welcome - see - good news, the x words are done.

I am a bit unwell not at all thinking

7:06 am

lexleeanne

good excuse..... hope you feel better =-}

7:07 am

herinfernallady

It is likely my fault and i didn't ask for soy milk or it was the hamburger at lunch

7:08 am

lexleeanne

or maybe the combo....

7:09 am

herinfernallady

The Hamburger was from a regular place i eat. It was kinda rare which is how i like it

7:09 am

lexleeanne

MOOOO!

7:10 am

herinfernallady

Yes but not what you eat with hamburger meat

7:10 am

DR1965

Hi Ladies-

7:10 am

lexleeanne

???

7:10 am

herinfernallady

Hi Dr

7:10 am

herinfernallady

Is that a why at me? Rare hamburger meat is not the best for bacteria

7:11 am

DR1965

Hi Herin

Hey Dr

DR1965

Hi Lex- Couldn't sleep so I got up before the alarm

7:12 am

lexleeanne

yuck - me too - but I am in cleaning computers getting ready for summer school

7:12 am

herinfernallady

Hey DR snap that was the icon i was going to choose. I love Dr Pepper but you can't buy it in stores in Aus

7:12 am

sukee

Did you hear about the girl in Quebec who got grounded and sued her father so she could go on a trip...and won?

7:12 am

DR1965

Sorry you don't feel good Herin

7:12 am

herinfernallady

Sukee hi

7:13 am

lexleeanne

cute DR - I missed that

7:13 am

herinfernallady

Lex what i meant is rare mince is not the best thing to eat its a bit icky on the bacteria level most times

7:13 am

lexleeanne

hey sukee - wow what a world

7:13 am

DR1965

I thought it was a cool icon Herin..

7:13 am

herinfernallady

I like it. I have to go to USA foods to get it

7:14 am

DR1965

I have my kid hooked on Dr Pepper too. Probably not a good thing

herinfernallady

Sukee i am suprissed the judge didn't throw that case out

7:17 am

sukee

I'm surprised it got that far

7:17 am

sukee

The parents are divorced so I think the mother had something to do with it

7:17 am

DR1965

tells you about our society doesn't it

7:18 am

herinfernallady

There was a kid that scratched cars and the judge said he needed corporal punishment

7:18 am

LoriP

She did. And udner Quebec law, parental "authority" is still shared, even in divorce

7:18 am

LoriP

The Father is taking it to the SCC and rightly so.

7:19 am

joansiebone

lex, mi 6 .... think cold weather wearing clothing

7:19 am

LoriP

She has now made the father impotent in his parenting role, and it's outrageous, IMO

7:20 am

herinfernallady

DR these 6 kids, In Queensland starved and twin 18month old toddlers died of this neglect the neighbours said 'oh the kids were begging for water and food we didn't help' I was disgusted. The whole area should be publicly shamed and bitched out.

7:20 am

sukee

And as a tax payer I think there are better ways to waste money :)

7:21 am

DR1965

That is awful Herin! I don't understand how people can be like that!

7:21 am

LoriP

lol, that too sukee. It was a nasty divorce, and the courts and our tax $$abet the Mother

7:21 am

herinfernallady

Neither do i. I check on my neighbours kids if they are being loud and bullying the youngest

7:22 am

sukee

Then the father shouldn't have to pay support from now on

7:23 am

LoriP

Won't happen sukee. :(

7:24 am

herinfernallady

Someone i know kicked their 11 year old son back to their father for being rude and disrespectful to the step father that treated the kid like a son and for being disrespectful to his mother.

7:25 am

nancethefan

ok, i believe i updated my pictures - thanks for your help herin

7:25 am

herinfernallady

THats ok Nane

7:25 am

LoriP

The phenomenon is called PAS, and courts abet the offender regularly, as they are slow to realize the pawns they have become. ***steps off soapbox*** :)

7:25 am

nancethefan

you are soooooooo kind

7:25 am

nancethefan

now i better dive in - i have 9 words - lol

7:26 am

herinfernallady

Nance does your son race Nascars?

7:26 am

herinfernallady

ANd some kids need a good spanking but you can't do that anymore

7:27 am

nancethefan

no, hon - he's a fan like i am - his favorite driver is Jimmy Johnson who drives the #48 car

7:27 am

DR1965

so true Herin!!!

7:28 am

herinfernallady

Oh ok. Cool Very cool. Nance i used to go to the Nascars and Auscars when i was a kid

7:28 am

LoriP

Ahh, yes you can in Canada, and the SCC has reaffirmed that in a decision 2 years ago.

7:30 am

nancethefan

cool bean, herin! i've never been to a nascar race before - the crowds & sitting in the stands would be to difficult for me - i watch from the comfort of my couch every saturday or sunday though - lol

7:30 am

nancethefan

cool beans*

7:30 am

nancethefan

i have 12 words now - lol

7:33 am

nancethefan

7:38 am

herinfernallady

Nance how did it go?

7:38 am

LoriP

If I'm not confusing him with another poster's hub, which is entirely possible....

7:39 am

nancethefan

no lori - his right kidney is functioning fine - the mira said his left kidney, which is more or less gone, may contain cysts. On his spine, he has bone spurs, narrowing of the spinal canal, dehyrdrated discs, & dics buldging - he see his dr today at 230pm - he went & picked up a copy of his report yesterday so he could try to prepare himself for today's visit.

7:40 am

nancethefan

not mira - mri*

7:40 am

nancethefan

o & the mri didn't speak - it only displayed - lol

7:41 am

herinfernallady

Ok so this is not good?

7:41 am

LoriP

He's got a lot on his plate. You as well! At least 1 kidney is functioning properly. Will todays Dr visit plot a course of action?

7:41 am

nancethefan

herinfernallady

herinfernallady

Judi

Morning, all. Sales of scooters and Segways are up in the northeast.

7:47 am

luvmytrucker

lol yea nance-my husband and i bought a scooter/moped a few months back

7:47 am

LoriP

Makes $4 bucks a gallon look low, doesn't it.... :D

7:47 am

nancethefan

hey judi

7:48 am

LoriP

G'd morning Judi

7:48 am

luvmytrucker

hi judy

7:48 am

nancethefan

i had a moped once - i think i would like another one - lol

7:48 am

herinfernallady

It cracks me up that there was a train line built and completed not even 4 years ago and they say its reaching its capacity to take people i am head desking their stupidity

7:48 am

herinfernallady

Hi Judy

7:48 am

luvmytrucker

i drive ours to work every day, it gets 89 mpg, the tank's only two gallons, nance...it's a heck of a lot cheaper than a car

7:49 am

DR1965

12 to go... off to bathe- bbs

7:49 am

Judi

I would love a scooter, but traffic around here is insane. It would be suicidal to drive one.

7:49 am

nancethefan

i know it - i can't recall - do you need to have insurance on mopeds?

7:49 am

LoriP

Yea DR! Nice job. catch ya' later

7:49 am

nancethefan

bye dr - hb

7:50 am

luvmytrucker

yes nance, they're considered the same as motorcycles as far as insurance goes

7:50 am

herinfernallady

I don't drive and it frightens the heck out of me as this is our food money being used and himself can't catch public transport to work as it takes to long and we do not want to live in his works area as its a hell hole

7:50 am

nancethefan

also license plates?

7:50 am

Judi

Any motorized vehicle driven on public roadways needs to be registered and insured.

7:51 am

luvmytrucker

your state might have different laws, though-here in az you just have to get it registered and insured, but as long as it's 100cc or less (that's the engine size) you don't need a motorcycle license

7:51 am

Judi

Oh, yes. You have to have a license and a motorcycle endorsement to drive a scooter/moped.

7:51 am

nancethefan

herin - i don't drive now & it's been 5 years since i have - now that i am off some of the meds, i'm going to get my license again

7:52 am

nancethefan

license plate?

7:52 am

herinfernallady

I don't drive as i don't have the temper. I would likely get out of the car and club lock someone

7:52 am

Judi

Wow, Luv. That's very liberal of AZ. Lucky you. DMV is a little more militant here in Delaware.

7:52 am

luvmytrucker

yes, it's smaller than regular plates-it has like 4 letters/numbers and says "mc" to the right of those, for "motorcycle"

7:53 am

nancethefan

lol - my godmother usee to be the same way - she's over 90 & still driving - i pity the fool that messes with her - lol

10:30 am

tijani

10:31 am

praise2him

sean it is degenerative disc disease

10:31 am

lexleeanne

Well - now you can start on a plan...

10:31 am

praise2him

something I will have to learn to deal with

10:32 am

lexleeanne

Gosh - Praise and we are about the same age....start falling apart...after 40

10:32 am

praise2him

lex it is just kind of hard to deal with right now

10:32 am

praise2him

I just had knee surgery in April and now this

10:33 am

lexleeanne

yeah - well - your babble name says it all...you can do this too

10:33 am

HollyF

ti6/21, anybody

10:33 am

praise2him

that is true--I know I can

10:34 am

praise2him

I just have to have a few pity parties here and there

10:34 am

lexleeanne

I don't have it Holly

10:34 am

HollyF

thanks lex

10:34 am

lexleeanne

Yeah - that is actually so cathardic...people who you can whine to.

10:35 am

SeanS

that's no fun, praise. sorry for the delay in responses. i'm at work here, so i'll be in and out most of the day

10:35 am

praise2him

that is for sure

10:35 am

lexleeanne

Praise - what are you learning and what are you teaching - in this lifes journey

10:35 am

tijani

in7/32 plz

10:35 am

SeanS

everyone needs a pity party every now and then :)

10:36 am

praise2him

wow lex that is a a profound question

10:36 am

SeanS

a little too profound for the amount of sleep i'm running on, i think

10:36 am

joso

ti6/21 tastes of the acid , esp in wines

10:37 am

lexleeanne

When things get really hard - that is how I stay sane - I ask those questions - sometimes I ask those questions in prayer and get answers that sustain me

10:38 am

praise2him

hubby just called to tell me that I am on my own for lucn

10:38 am

praise2him

lunch

10:38 am

SeanS

prayer can be calming. meditation is also good for relieving stress and forgetting about all that is not right with the world

10:38 am

praise2him

can't type today for some reason

10:38 am

lexleeanne

I like sunbathing - my one leftover vice

10:38 am

praise2him

yeah lex I know what you mean

10:39 am

praise2him

I know I have come a lot closer to God since I have been dealing with my illnesses

10:39 am

HollyF

Thanks JOSO, I was looking at the wrong ti

10:39 am

SeanS

you can always meditate while you sunbathe, lex :)

10:39 am

lexleeanne

OH YEAH - I totally do - and sleep and read...

10:41 am

SeanS

i don't know why you consider sunbathing a vice though. your body needs about 15 minutes of direct sunlight a day

10:41 am

SeanS

unless you just fall asleep out there for hours... that might not be the best

10:41 am

lexleeanne

Okay - I NEVER get the wine ref's either...help me out here

10:41 am

lexleeanne

Yeah - but I try for more like 2 hours when I'm out

10:42 am

ypsigirl

fireworks!

10:42 am

lexleeanne

with all the skin cancer info and my Dutch/Scottish heritage - probably should be more careful - I also claim that sunscreen is against my religion

10:43 am

lexleeanne

Super cartwheelies for yps!!!

10:43 am

SeanS

yeah praise, its funny how we remember about God when we feel we are down or in need, but we forget to thank and appreciate what we have

10:43 am

ypsigirl

thanks! that's lunch!

10:43 am

lexleeanne

(my claim - not that of my actual religion)

10:43 am

praise2him

that is true sean

10:43 am

praise2him

I try really hard to thank him too

10:43 am

praise2him

brb

10:44 am

lexleeanne

I actually try to study scripture EVERY night...it helps to have a spiritual reserve

10:44 am

SeanS

that's impressive, lex. i don't have the patience for the scriptures.

10:44 am

lexleeanne

I try really hard to start especially frustrated prayers with everything I can think of to be thankful for.

10:45 am

lexleeanne

a little each night...and mark what is meaningful as you go - it has changed my life ... given me more peace and patience

10:46 am

SeanS

too allegorical and have so little to do with our time. but i'm glad they're there for people who get something out of them. i used to a whole lot more than i do now

10:46 am

lexleeanne

**What is meaningful to you

10:46 am

praise2him

back

10:48 am

SeanS

that's good, lex. remembering to be thankful and content is a hard thing to do.

10:49 am

SeanS

we all focus too much on what we want and what we don't have these days. its unhealthy.

10:51 am

2:01 pm

4:13 pm

AnnieOakley

hello kazzer

4:14 pm

Kazzer99

Hi Annie - funny old grid today

4:14 pm

MLFAN17

HI Kazzer

4:14 pm

AnnieOakley

i'm not really enjoying it today kazzer!

4:14 pm

Kazzer99

hi mlf

4:14 pm

SeanS

**delayed laughter** annie. end of the day rush.

4:15 pm

AnnieOakley

LOL Sean! Get rid of those grumpy people :-)

4:15 pm

Kazzer99

well it was a choice of footie or bib brother and babble so no compo really

4:15 pm

MLFAN17

i wasnt enjoying it last night annie seems to be going somewhat better today still not a fun grid

4:16 pm

AnnieOakley

that's so true kazzer

4:16 pm

MLFAN17

i need help with one of the an words if anybody can see thieir list at the moment?

4:16 pm

AnnieOakley

ho many words yesterday M?

4:16 pm

AnnieOakley

*ML?

4:16 pm

SeanS

i used to get nervous around customers like that, but i've gotten so used to it that i don't really take people's attitude anymore. in my job, most of the time i can just let someone rant away until they're tired of talking. problem solved, lol

4:17 pm

MLFAN17

how many words did i find yesterday?

4:17 pm

Kazzer99

I've got 7 - how many are there?

4:17 pm

AnnieOakley

i only have about 1/2 of them ML

4:17 pm

MLFAN17

ooops i meant AN 4/4 words that is

4:17 pm

SeanS

Annie, you've been talking too much to get very far in the grid today :P

4:17 pm

AnnieOakley

LOL...that's a technique i'm going to try next week...

4:18 pm

MLFAN17

14 AN words i think kazzer

4:18 pm

AnnieOakley

that's true Sean!

4:19 pm

SeanS

i'm telling you, annie, it totally works. most people just want someone to yell at from time to time. after that, they usually like me for listening... but that always follows with them telling me all their problems every time they come in, lol

4:19 pm

Kazzer99

do you have creatures?

4:20 pm

MLFAN17

Kazzer you mean AN 7/

4:21 pm

Kazzer99

an 4/4 - creature - antelope, unknown, 2 havent got, predate stuff, against things

4:21 pm

AnnieOakley

sometimes a patient has come in to complain and i haven't spoken at all and they've gone away happy cos someone listened. But it's rare as they normally want the advice from me. I told one man to sit down and be quiet once - he was really aggressive but i'd got to know him after multiple complaints and he's like a pussy in my hands now!!

4:21 pm

Kazzer99

last one creepy crawly lives in nest

4:22 pm

AnnieOakley

do people ever threaten you Sean?

4:22 pm

MLFAN17

Kazzer do you know a book called Flowers for Alger***?

4:22 pm

SeanS

sounds like our jobs are fairly similar. although i suppose a lot of customer service jobs might be that way... but i can definitely relate

4:22 pm

SeanS

yeah, i get a threat every now and then

4:22 pm

Kazzer99

i do

4:23 pm

SeanS

the first couple times i was weirded out, but i don't mind anymore really

4:23 pm

MLFAN17

Kazz i have that AN word its the one UNDER that i ened

4:23 pm

Reader951

hi all I'm stuck on the an 5/20 I read the clue but still stumped

4:23 pm

SeanS

except this one guy who called me a racist and said i should get shot it face... that was a little uncalled for, lol

4:23 pm

AnnieOakley

i find the threats scary...though i've only ever had to use my panic button once - that man freaked me out!!

4:23 pm

SeanS

but he was insane

4:24 pm

Kazzer99

dont have it either

4:24 pm

AnnieOakley

bit harsh Sean LOL!!!!

4:24 pm

SeanS

i thought so! :)

4:24 pm

MLFAN17

Reader.. little orphan ***ie plus second vowel and * ray

4:25 pm

SeanS

at least you have a panic button

4:25 pm

AnnieOakley

i meant you for calling him insane LOL!!!!

4:25 pm

MLFAN17

i had to ask for a clue for it as well

4:25 pm

SeanS

i work in an office by myself 90% of the time

4:25 pm

SeanS

oh, haha... well, he kinda was

4:25 pm

Reader951

wow - how did I miss that Thank you

4:26 pm

MLFAN17

no problem reader i felt the same way after i got the clue for it and figured out what the word was

4:26 pm

Kazzer99

an 4/4 - little creepy craw;y plus first vowel

4:26 pm

SeanS

he sat there spouting off all these racist remarks and telling me that people like me (white people) should get shot... and then he called me racist

4:26 pm

AnnieOakley

yes i'm on my own a lot, but have a secretary now so she has to face the hassle too. the panic button only works when people come (only the volunteers did when i pressed it!!!!!). He was insane Sean - anyone threatening to shoot you is insane

4:26 pm

MLFAN17

TY KAZZER!!!!!!!!

4:26 pm

SeanS

not the crunchiest chip in the bag at the very least

4:27 pm

AnnieOakley

4:29 pm

SeanS

i know, Annie. i feel that way a lot too... but i still have to expalin it to them in a way they can understand... "well, this is why your policy doesn't cover X" and so on... but in the end i always wish I could just make them happy

SeanS

i didn't get much babbling done today... too chatty

4:46 pm

AnnieOakley

And you're in a band? we ust chat about that next time...byeeeee Sean

4:46 pm

KrisE

thanks, knight!

4:46 pm

KnightTime

not to be cynical but the show is to line the pockets of the producers, and a charity gets a small benefit

4:47 pm

SeanS

bye Annie, remind me next time *poof*

4:47 pm

AnnieOakley

that is cynical Knight!!

4:47 pm

MLFAN17

knight the celebs probably pocket more then is donated just to be on the show

4:47 pm

KnightTime

yes mlf

4:47 pm

KnightTime

there is NO altruism in television

4:47 pm

AnnieOakley

you're prob both right :-(

4:50 pm

KnightTime

I am trying to figure out how ex8 can be used in a sentence.

4:50 pm

KrisE

maybe you have to treat ex7 as an nounal adjective

4:50 pm

AnnieOakley

well guys, i'm off to get some sleep, got to be up early tomorrow (dinosaurs was used earlier Knight)

4:50 pm

AnnieOakley

good night all

4:50 pm

KrisE

g'nite annie!

4:50 pm

KnightTime

that species is ex7. Those two species are ex7. I just don't see how ex8 could ever be used.

4:51 pm

lexleeanne

the list of ex8 is getting longer every year

4:51 pm

KnightTime

so it's a noun?

4:51 pm

AnnieOakley

oh yes, i've never heard of the 8 before.

4:51 pm

KrisE

well, like a conservative person is a conservative

4:52 pm

AnnieOakley

night night Kris

4:52 pm

KrisE

Maybe you can say that an ex7 species is an ex7

4:52 pm

AnnieOakley

*poof*

4:52 pm

KrisE

it's odd, I know - I've never seen it in text

4:53 pm

Atalante

"The survival value of intelligence is that it allows us to ex7 a bad idea, before the idea ex8 us." Trust Karl Popper to use a stupidhead word

4:53 pm

KrisE

Thanks, Ata!

4:53 pm

KnightTime

okay, so it is being used as a transitive verb in that example

4:54 pm

Atalante

but that is *really* pushing its reality!

4:54 pm

KrisE

yup

4:54 pm

KnightTime

that indicates that ex7 is causative and not a result which is hard to comprehend as possible

4:55 pm

Atalante

thats what you get from philosophers...

4:56 pm

Atalante

its funny those words are in the grid, though. I was thinking this morning about writing a book on paleobtology, and focussing on mass ex*****ions

4:57 pm

KnightTime

it is hard to think about an idea being extinct. I don't think that is logically possible

4:57 pm

KnightTime

if you can think about it to say it is ex7, then it isn't ex7 (sorry)

4:57 pm

lexleeanne

knight said a WORD - PB knight

4:58 pm

KnightTime

sorry, sorry, so sorry

4:58 pm

Atalante

very true, knight

4:58 pm

KnightTime

me bad, fifty lashes with a q

4:59 pm

KrisE

What would you like in the PB, Knight? Twizzlers and beer - does that go with philosophy?

4:59 pm

KnightTime

so i would have to disagree with Popper's supposition

4:59 pm

Atalante

thats always what Popper is there for

4:59 pm

KnightTime

the conclusion belies the supposition. real deep

5:00 pm

Hi, eieios

6:36 pm

shoelessdwarf

in theatre there are many sound positions, sound designer, mixer, number two, who does mixing when the mixer is away, and runs things backstage, and the sound number 3 who fits microphones, and runs the mics during the show

6:36 pm

6:38 pm

shoelessdwarf

all the performers wear a microphone, and all the instruments are miced, and the mixer basically mixes the sound coming from all the different microphones, which generally runs to about 70, depending on cast numbers, in real time, and makes it sound coherent and unintrusive, and nice.

6:38 pm

eieios

Nothing wrong with being a little Loopy guys, look what it did for Chas and Dave Snooker loopy nuts are we
Me and him and them and me
We'll show you what we can do
With a load of balls and a snooker cue

Pot the reds then, skrew back
For the yellow green brown blue pink and black
Snooker loopy nuts are we
We're all snooker loopy

Now ol' Milo as we all know's
Got loadsa dappa suits
London bred and he keeps his head
'Though he's got Italian roots
Emotional but he keeps his cool
'Til he reaches the finals
And whether he wins or whether he don't
'I always bite me eyeballs'

Now our friend Den, hours he spent
Down the snooker hall
On the old green baize his mates seem amazed
At skills with a snooker ball
And them long shots, he never ever got
Why? The old mind boggles
But nowadays he pots the lot
'Cos I wear these goggles'

Snooker loopy nuts are we
Me and him and them and me
We'll show you what we can do
With a load of balls and a snooker cue

Pot the reds then, skrew back
For the yellow green brown blue pink and black
Snooker loopy nuts are we
We're all snooker loopy

Now Terry the taff was born in a gaff
In the valleys of the land of song
And as the reds he puts to bed
He likes to sing along
And if I win he says with a grin
It can only help me can't it
I'll celebrate, I'll buy another eight
'Hairbrushes for me barnet'

Now old Willy Thorne his hair's all gone
And his mates all take the rise
His opponent said cover up his head
Cos it's shining in my eyes
When the light shines down on his bare crown
It's a cert he's gonna walk it
It's just not fair giving off that glare
'Perhaps I ought to chalk it
