rururocks
sounds to me like you traded in those goody two shoes for some kick ass boots baby
2:13 am
Andree
hi everyone
2:14 am
sprite
Dee: yes, I can relate to that. I have tried for decades, and finally had to decide that the only way it would work was to tell my mother I would accept her in my life as the grandmother of my children, as long as she doesn't hurt them. And only as that... not as my mother.
2:14 am
GroovyKiwi
ohhhhh too true ruru i have 16 pairs of them in the wardrobe lol
2:14 am

Who, me?
2:15 am
sprite
sometimes that is the only way, ruru. *hugs* to you, for being who you are.
2:15 am
AlleyElle
yes. I think so
2:15 am
sprite
yup jilli, you
2:16 am
rururocks
what is 'conduct' anyway ... just a way to retrain the kids...lol
2:16 am
Andree
just looking at chat and remember when my daughters friend married about 10 years ago and he was to cook and she was to clean as they both have very busy jobs, he came home early one day and found a strange woman in the house, who are you ? he says, answer THE CLEANER, I thought it was hilarious
2:16 am
jillibus
I didn't mean to break rules, honest!
2:16 am
sprite
roflol Andree!
2:16 am
VolleymomDee
unfortunately my hubby still tries to please her; when I see her "pulling his strings" (and he lets her) it literally breaks my heart... I have had to stay silent to keep peace
2:17 am
sprite
oh bah, Dee :( That is indeed tough.
2:17 am
sprite
that is what I meant, jilli... Free spirit. Not rebellious spirit.
2:18 am
rururocks
There is nothing wrong with breaking a few rules jilli.. I call it character building... and it always sounds to me like you have a lot of character
2:18 am
sprite
oh, found he7
2:18 am
jillibus
my mother thought I was rebellious
2:19 am
sprite
*seconds ruru fully on that*
2:20 am
sprite
ruru: a friend of mine who knew immensely much about the theory of raising kids, told me that good parents, even while correcting their kid's behaviour, are secretly proud of their power and courage to rebel. And that kids feel that, on a subconscious level.
I have the feeling it is true.
2:20 am
rururocks
finally found that last th7
2:21 am
GroovyKiwi
well it took you long enough lol
2:21 am
rururocks
not if you had the crap beaten out of you
2:21 am
flosey
I agree sprite - my mother tended to use guilt - I felt that I couldn't do anything to hurt her
2:21 am
jillibus
is the 3rd th7 related to the other 2?
2:22 am
GroovyKiwi
my mum i think owns the crown for the greatest puller of guilt trips on the planet - i love her dearly but she loves to pull strings
2:22 am
sprite
ruru: I said GOOD parents. Not the ones that cannot cope or cannot care!
2:22 am
sprite
yes jilli. The place word + an ending. But this one goes up and not down.
2:22 am
GroovyKiwi
there are four all together jilli three all start with the same th 5
2:22 am
GroovyKiwi
and the fourth is the movie house
2:23 am
jillibus
ah -- got it -- ty sprite!
2:23 am
rururocks
that is the thing you only get one shot at parents most of the time... I didn't luck out.. but it hasn't ruined my life..
2:24 am
flosey
because you didn't allow it to ruru
2:24 am
jillibus
thanks kiwi!
2:24 am
rururocks
I am really slowing down here at 71 to go
2:24 am
jillibus
well said, flosey
2:24 am
sprite
guilt is a lousy thing to use. I remember my mother always threatening to go kill herself bu jumping under a train if I didn't adapt to her weird expectations. And me, at 16, finally gathering enough courage to tell her to go do it, and if she wanted me to look up a nice train in the time table. It was ugly, but man, it was liberating too.
2:24 am
rururocks
had a close call though flosey
2:25 am
flosey
lol sprite - my mother use to threaten to leave us
2:25 am
flosey
glad you made it ruru
2:25 am
sprite
ruru, I agree, you did not let it. You made yourself into a lovely person. Yay for you.
2:26 am

argh, flosey, that is ugly too.

my mom used to threaten she would give us to people in the grocery store
2:27 am
Andree
my mother did not sspeak to me and 2 of my sisters for 10 years and would not allow my little sister to talk to us[ she is 17 years younger than I] the day my mother died my sister came straight to me, it was one of the happiest days of my life
2:28 am
rururocks
that is sweet (but very cruel of your mom)
2:28 am
jillibus
what a bunch of horrible mothers!
2:28 am
flosey
ah what a happy day that turned out to be Andree
2:28 am
GroovyKiwi
i have two half sisters and a half brother that i havent seen or heard from for the last 20 years because my step mother threatened them that she would kill my dad (he had divorced her by then)
2:28 am
sprite
man, don't you hate threats like that. It is so sick. We tell our kids, if they are really being a pest, that if they don't start behaving, they cannot have computer time or telly time for x days. And that is not a threat, but a real promise, lol.
2:29 am
sprite
awww Andree... how sad and how terrible of your mother. But wonderful how you and your sister have managed to stay connected.
2:29 am
rururocks

"This Christmas is is especially important to be nice to your kids (inside: Because they get to choose the nursing home!!"

my mother kept her in line with threats of suicide and intimidation, now looking back as she is nearly 50 she cannot believe she is the same person who yielded to these threats
2:30 am
rururocks

2:30 am
flosey
good one ruru
2:31 am

2:31 am

2:31 am
Andree
ha ha ruru, the true meaning of " you are off the christmas card list"
2:33 am
jillibus
warning -- do not use the word for male parent here or you'll be stuck into the PB
2:33 am
sprite
my father sent me a Xmas card 2 years ago, out of the blue. With only his name on it. After 10 years of utter silence. I immediately filed it carefully into the round archive.
2:33 am
Andree

3:05 am

thanks lady and Andree. She will love the visit, Andree, but indeed will have to wait until she is well enough. It is very tough to really kill bone pain. And pain eats away energy faster than anything.
3:06 am
herinfernallady
I am so not with it
3:07 am
sprite
yeah, I am ok now. No obligations other than my kids today, hubby is out camping. I have peace and quiet to myself now for several hours today. That is usually enough to get me out of a series of panic attacks and being overstressed. THanks for caring :D

what do the tile stats mean?
4:07 am
Haz1558
The tile stats mirror the grid above. For instance, in the top F it says 0/17 - it means that there are 17 word beginning with f coming from that tile.
4:08 am
Haz1558
As you fill in words, you will see the numbers changing, so if you get 5 f words, it will change to 5/17. If you get all the words, the tile turns grey.
4:08 am
Haz1558
It's a means of keeping track of your progress (or lack of it)
4:08 am
lynxxx
Sorry AC, deep in grid but Haz is much better at explaining anyway. Haz acoom is a friend. How are you going AC

After yesterday's cheering, er, I mean abuse, I find myself very fragile....
4:14 am

It wasn't abuse, Lori, it was positive encouragement.

You just have to look behind the abuse to see the pure motives.

Hi Rose..what!...have you been out of action all this time?
4:17 am

G'd morning granny, that sounds decidedly un-fun. All the best to ya' and a successful recovery!

Oh, I had missed that ... sounds awfully painful...how long b4 you are fully recovered
4:19 am
Lorrie_in_SA
Morning Lori! :)
4:19 am
grannyrose
lol, how long's a piece of string?
4:20 am
hillary
was it your achilles granny?
4:21 am
grannyrose
i have to wait until the bone has grown over the screw!!! and no hillary, it was the tibialis posterior, the tendon which holds your arch up.
4:21 am
hillary
that sounds awful
4:22 am
grannyrose
but i's much better now. oral morphine is a wonderful thing! : )
4:24 am
Haz1558
(Makes note to disregard any of grannyrose's ravings)
4:24 am
grannyrose
with cougars of course. fortunately i'm not driving anywhere at the moment.besides, the morphine is mainly for at night. i take paracetamol during the day now.
4:25 am
grannyrose
hey, i'm not raving.....yet
4:25 am
hillary
where do the cougars come in?
4:25 am
Haz1558
You should try it during the day, granny, just to see if it has an effect on your word-finding. We could start up a black market trade...
4:26 am
lynxxx
Will make a note to avoid eastern suburbs and especially crutch waving female bikers anyway I think
4:26 am
LoriP
So granny, what 'yer saying, is that skateboarding is not an option for awhile? :-)
4:27 am
grannyrose
no way haz, it's too hard to get. besides, beloved and i are going to fiji in 4 weeks, need to have some left, just in case.
4:27 am
Haz1558
I try to avoid crutch wavers of any kind. Call me a wimp, but there you go.
4:28 am
Haz1558
Fiji? Are you sure that's wise in your condition? Should you not pass the tickets to someone able-bodied?
4:28 am
Haz1558
Think what you'll do to the metal detectors in the airport!
4:28 am
grannyrose
rofl,lyn, actually i will be back on the bike by next weekend, so WATCH OUT!!!!
4:28 am
LoriP
I'd be willing to fill in for you granny.
4:29 am

oh no you don't. i'm going, even if i have to crawl onto the plane...

If you sling your crutches on your back some way, I suppose it's possible.
4:30 am
hillary
is that a motorbike or a pushbike gran?
4:30 am
grannyrose
hillary, a suzuki boulevard ( cruiser )
4:31 am
Haz1558
And are you taking the bike to FIji?
4:31 am
hillary
how did you injure your tendon?
4:31 am
grannyrose
rofl, would need a very long snorkel to do that
4:32 am
Haz1558
And is this an edition of 20 questions?
4:33 am
LoriP
***I'll take potpourri for $2,000 please Alex.***
4:33 am
Haz1558
You could stow it in the plane. That would make a great entrance to Fiji, you riding the bike off the plane.
4:34 am
grannyrose
hillary, it was just one of those days from hell at work. 7 1/2 hours into a 10 hour shift, with no break. had already stepped onto my right foot, went to step onto my left, felt a snap and pain ++++. took dr's 13 months to decide something was wrong, and not my head....
4:34 am
lynxxx
I'm not sure, I think they have cracked down on hand luggage a bit
4:34 am
grannyrose
but lyn, i could wear it around my neck, like a sort of talisman.
4:35 am
hillary
that's horrific
4:35 am
Haz1558
All she needs is a screwdriver, lynxxx. Bikers take their machines apart all the time. My uncle used to keep his in the front room in various stages of repair.
4:35 am
lynxxx
hooray for Workcare! I assume they are looking after you

hey lynx and grannyr, scuse me butting in... do either of u know where u can buy robocombs to fight kiddies' headlice?
4:36 am
lynxxx
probably at a late night chemist Jaz
4:36 am
grannyrose
very well, thank-you. and jaz, any good pharmacy has them. and use vinega to help dissolve the glue on the eggs, and they should comb out easy peasy
4:37 am
jazflyn
cool, thanks for the handy hint; i've never seen such an infestation - so much biomass on such a tiny noggin!
4:38 am
lynxxx
not fun dealing with it either - good luck
4:39 am
grannyrose
be back soon, beloved has dinner ready..jaz, i was pediculosis nurse for the local council, believe you me, i've seen some horrific things in kids hair.
4:39 am
grannyrose
kiss, kiss, hug, hug
4:39 am
jazflyn
what else can kids get in their hair? these lice are as big as field mice
4:40 am
LoriP
Take care granny!
4:40 am
Haz1558
Anybody else scratching?
4:40 am
grannyrose
i saw one poor kid with crabs in her hair, eyelashes, and eyebrows
4:40 am
jazflyn
lol, it does have that affect, doesn't it, haz
4:41 am
Haz1558
I seriously have started to feel itchy!
4:41 am
LoriP
I'm having flashbacks. Lice are the reason #4 got his first hair cut. I'm still bitter
4:41 am
hillary
actually if you keep the fine-combing up to them religiously every day for 21 days (the breeding cycle) you clear the lice just as effectively as using electric combs or chemicals.
4:41 am
jazflyn
i'm guessing you don't mean spanner crabs grannr
4:41 am
Haz1558
And I can't blame any sewing words either.
4:41 am
hillary
it's just tedious doing it day after day
4:42 am
jazflyn
yeah, i don't think i'm up for it hillary, think i'll zap em instead
4:42 am
hillary
well that's more satisfying, too
4:42 am
jazflyn
the poor little sausage is only 3 and it takes everything out of her to sit still and not fight me and my nit creams
4:43 am
Haz1558
The smell of the stuff should be enough to kill them, wouldn't you think?
4:43 am
shoelessdwarf
profuse amounts of conditioner is a cheap effective way to do it
4:43 am
hillary
we went through years of head lice, you just get on top of them and they get re-infested by their friends... the good news is that they do actually grow out of it
4:43 am
acoom
i'd better be off and do some work. by Lyn and everyone
4:43 am
jazflyn
yeah i've done the conditioner thing, the fine comb thing and the expensive toxic chemical bomb thing
4:44 am
jazflyn
now i'm going to try electricity!
4:44 am

Bye ac - have a good day and we'll maybe see you again?
4:44 am

4:44 am
acoom
you may. what time does the game end?
4:45 am
lynxxx
clicks over each 24 hours AC, use the clock on here
4:45 am
shoelessdwarf
reallly cheap conditioner, where you can use a whole bottle on one head, leave it on for a while, like half an hour, then comb out with nit comb. much easier to use comb, not bad for the hair, and works, i promise, you justdrown the little guys out, and it detatches the eggs, cause its stupily large amounts of conditioner.
4:45 am
Haz1558
This one has another 19 hours to run.
4:45 am
shoelessdwarf
much less upsetting for kids too
4:45 am
acoom
ah i see it. so that is about 7am tomorrow morning for me...
4:46 am
jazflyn
thanks for the nit-busting tips, babblers, i'm off to the chemist, feel free to return to fiji and motorbikes
4:46 am
hillary
yes we found that too shoeless, the conditioner makes it easier to get the fine comb through and the eggs and critters just slide off.
4:46 am
hillary

5:25 am

debating whether to start it and thinking it is too early in the morning for treacle
5:25 am

it's never too early for thigh-high treacle :)
5:25 am

I'm back, refreshed after a quick walk with the dog. Dynamite ready for the reluctant words.
5:27 am
shoelessdwarf
i only ever get about 30 words anyway, so i'm not too bothered by slow going
5:27 am

I suspect this is one of those misery loves company situations and will step back for a bit...
5:27 am

that's the spirit shoe
5:28 am

besides, treacle's lovely
5:28 am
Haz1558
We'll put you in the 'welcome individual words warmly' category, shoeless.
5:29 am
shoelessdwarf
i like the company, and the game of finding a word or two rather than thinking i have to find them all.
5:29 am
jazflyn
with u all the way, shoe
5:30 am
Haz1558
It's a nice balance, shoeless.
5:30 am
shoelessdwarf
doesn't mean i'm not intensely impressed when others complete though. wooo for fireworks!
5:31 am
shoelessdwarf
plus i get to learn shiny new words to boost my vocab, which is nice. there's one i can use already
5:33 am
Haz1558
The problems come when some of the more unusual words occur and you can't see any way of incorporating them into conversation. But you're right, it's a fun way of learning.
5:34 am
jazflyn
i got to use "natatoria" at a home birth recently - i was pretty thrilled with that. the birthing mother strangely didn''t seem all that fascinated
5:35 am
Haz1558
Maybe you need to choose your moments.
5:35 am
shoelessdwarf
the TH5/12 today is a nice one. it sounds lovely. I think i like the sound and rhythm of words perhaps more than their meanings or proper usage. Like i use 'shiny' anywhere i can, to generally mean happy or good. its such an onomatopoeic word.
5:36 am
jazflyn
yes, that seemed to be what she thought too ;)
5:36 am
Haz1558
But which th5/12?
5:37 am
shoelessdwarf
ah, um, i don't have the stats so cant give any more info. its an old english word. all about classes.

6:30 am
Atalante
there was a 600+ one once
6:30 am
hillary
would anyone like to clue the first fo 5?
6:31 am
Scrabbler
I wasn't here for that one, Atalante. That would take the full 24 hrs to complete.
6:31 am
lexleeanne
WOW - 500 to 600's
6:31 am
Haz1558
fo5 - it's a type of wind
6:31 am
Atalante
the 600+ one was a loooooong time ago. before you lot found babble :P
6:31 am
Haz1558
To an enemy of three, add a female bird, minus a vowel (fo5)
6:32 am
Haz1558
The fo4/8 after it loses the vowel.
6:32 am
carleekat
yummmmrice pudding for breakfast
6:32 am
SamanthaJoy
Sounds good to me!
6:32 am

Please send some by courier, Carlee.
6:34 am

some ppl like lawyer1 could finish anything. quickly.
6:34 am
Scrabbler
With 25 on my word list I must get ready for work. Enjoy the day everyone.
6:34 am
lynxxx
fo4.28 is like the boys name, add another vowel in the middle for the 5
6:34 am
carleekat
byebye scrabs...
6:34 am
Haz1558
The enemy is three letters, a female bird (as in pea***) is three, but take out the vowel.

6:47 am
Haz1558
He likes women with pleasant faces, Ata. The fact that she has legs to her armpits is a bonus.
6:47 am
lynxxx
a vet saying a pleasant face sounds like he is describing a cow
6:47 am
Atalante

6:50 am
hillary
there's john stuart mill
6:50 am
Haz1558
All this from a simple clue....
6:50 am
lexleeanne
not a rod stewart fan
6:50 am
carleekat
sheesh I think I shoul dhave got out the purple crayon and skipped rene simard
6:50 am
Atalante
so you do know the singer, carlee :P
6:50 am
lexleeanne
which stewart did the clue belong to?
6:50 am
hillary
i'm not either actually... someone who kept going far too long
6:50 am
Haz1558
And John Mills and Hayley Mills.
6:51 am
hillary

6:51 am
Haz1558

6:51 am
Haz1558
Now sit back for the Groundhog Day.....
6:51 am
lexleeanne
his music is okay - just don't want to have to look at him
6:51 am
hillary
or the miller's tale
6:51 am
Haz1558
Flossing teeth is very important.
6:51 am
Anniebrook
It started with Haz who was cluing or4/5...and we cannot blame FM for this
6:51 am
carleekat
ok... hillary..am NOT going to elaborate on the mental image that just went through my head
6:51 am
Haz1558
Mills and Boon.
6:51 am
Atalante
we can always blame FM
6:52 am
hillary
what the miller flossing his teeth? perhaps not
6:52 am
lynxxx
I have probably told you b4, but I despise R Stewart and at my fa6.30s funeral the celebrant selected R Stewarts "We Are Sailing" (my fa6.30 sailed) - I was appalled! (and certainly not consulted beforehand)
6:52 am
Haz1558
Maybe that's where Mr Stewart goes wrong? Not enough flossing of the teeth.
6:52 am
hillary
celebrants have no business choosing funeral music
6:53 am
Haz1558
I'm not surprised you were appalled, lynxxx.
6:53 am
Haz1558
So, do we clue Mr Stewart as 'the singer lynxxx despises'?
6:53 am
Atalante
at least it wasn't Peter Andre
6:54 am
Haz1558
Is it true he and Mr Stewart are going to collaborate on the Great Australian songbook?
6:54 am
Atalante
I think so, Haz-in-the-grid
6:54 am
Atalante
with ROlf Harris
6:54 am
Haz1558
With contributions from Rolf Harris?
6:54 am
hillary
that'll be a short book
6:55 am
Haz1558
It'll be a singing thing, hillary.
6:55 am
lynxxx
BBS late dinner
6:55 am
hillary
now rolf HAS been in the grid before
6:55 am
Haz1558

6:56 am

6:59 am
hillary
no, they say "Raiph"
6:59 am
carleekat
then..austrian accent?
6:59 am
hillary

7:00 am
Haz1558
But then not everybody would know Mr Nader.
7:00 am
Atalante
thats a good one, hillary
7:01 am
acoom
please can you explain the numbering? e.g. what does zi4,9 mean? something to do with the number of letters I assume...
7:01 am
hillary
i only know this because i have teenagers
7:01 am
Haz1558
zi4/9 - means a word beginning with zi, it has 4 letters and it yields 9 points.
7:02 am
hillary
acoom: the first number is the number of letters in the word, the second is the point score when you add up the numbers on the tiles.... multiplying by 1 for a 4-letter word, 2 for a 5-letter word and so on
7:02 am
acoom
great. thanks

great icon, ata :)
8:29 am

there are some good Lebanese / Moroccan type restaurants in Portland too
8:29 am
Haz1558
I'm jealous of Ata's icon.
8:30 am
Judi
Me too, Haz. I'm keeping a copy in my "snappy come-back" file though, for future reference.
8:31 am
Atalante
awwwwww :P save it, it's very useful in many circumstances!
8:31 am
Haz1558
Oh, I never thought of making a snappy come back record file. Good idea.
8:31 am
Atalante
I have loads of those types of icons that I've gathered from various places over the years
8:31 am
Marmar
Haz, your icon always makes me smile too, I swear that beautfiul hound is laughing!
8:32 am
Judi
The only problem with the snappy come-back file is, it comes after the "awkward silence" file and the "pregnant pause" file.
8:32 am
Atalante
she does :) she's a happy glittery one
8:33 am
Haz1558
She has a grin on her face because that photo was taken on a nice day after a great run around.

Then it's a plural for he5/14 - looks like a missing vowel from the football move with the he4.
8:58 am
Haz1558
he5/14 - he plus the first letters of Mr Nimmo, he6/24 is plural
8:58 am

Atalante

9:42 am

A joke, Aussie. It would be another way of raising money for Dr-G if you had to pay extra to see the profiles.

dcseain
last tr5/10, pls?
9:48 am
Haz1558
It's not as busy as it was when we were first married, and tends to be worst in springtime. It's not a job, it's a lifestyle.
9:48 am
Lizsark
Herin - thanks - I replied to you :)
9:49 am
herinfernallady
cool liz
9:49 am
Lizsark
I am guilty of phoning my vet at 2am!!!
9:49 am
Atalante
how many of the night calls you get are actually serious and how many are "go away, i'll talk to you in the morning"?
9:49 am
Haz1558
tr5/10 - another consonant on the end of the wooden stuff.
9:49 am
dcseain
oh, that way around. Ty, Haz. :)
9:49 am
Haz1558
Liz, we once had a woman ringing us all through the night to bring us news of every pup being born. It was hard to be enthusiastic at five in the morning.
9:50 am
Lizsark
LOL Haz - my call was when my cat had kittens but I was ringing because of some serious birth defects
9:50 am
dcseain
goodness, haz.
9:50 am
Haz1558
Night calls from farmers are mostly serious, those from the public vary. Some just want advice, others it's a definite emergency and nobody minds that. But being brought to the phone to listen to a dog coughing/wheezing is a strange experience.
9:51 am
Lizsark
gives a whole new meaning to heavy breathing Haz
9:51 am
Haz1558
You're right!
9:51 am
Lizsark
Was your husband at home or did you think it was him lol
9:52 am
Haz1558
He was in the house - the woman brought the dog to the phone and said 'Can you hear the way he's breathing?'
9:52 am
Lizsark
Good job you cant hit people over the phone!
9:53 am
Atalante
the other babbler who is a vet has a wonderful livejournal of all the screwy things she gets to deal with
9:54 am
Lizsark
my son was supposed to buy coke & he came back with an ice cream
9:54 am
Haz1558
It can be fairly hilarious at times. We treasure some of the mistakes farmers make in asking for things. One asked for a sectarian operation for a ewe. The vet didn't know whether it was to be performed with or without balaclavas.
9:54 am
dcseain
well, send him out agoin then, liz
9:55 am
Haz1558
Liz - some of the stories are in BabAnon under Animal Magic. I'll not weary people with repeating them here.
9:55 am
Lizsark
LOL I already did DC
9:55 am

I must have a look Haz

oh, ty, haz, i'll take a look later.

9:56 am

Hello Orange.

Nope tact is not his best point Haz. When Scully was really poorly he said "So when am I killing her then"
9:57 am
Haz1558
Oh goodness, that was a bit much!

Lizsark
oh dear DC :(
9:59 am
dcseain
yes, he's mostly reverted to nearly puppyhood, which is kind of fun, yet sad.
9:59 am
Lizsark
He's a died in the wool farm raised vet Sadie - he doesnt believe in sentiment
9:59 am
herinfernallady
Ok I must depart i think i can sleep now that and im dang cold
10:00 am
Lizsark
sleep well herin
10:00 am

There has to be a balance, though, Liz. You have to be practical, but you're dealing with people and their sensitivities.
10:00 am

Ill try if himself hasn't hogged the bed
10:01 am
Atalante

10:01 am

Has Ata ever been known to be smug about anything?
10:46 am
Uniquity
Ugh. Our school board has reduced christmas break by a day or two every ytear on the claim we had too many snow days. Then they also stopped giving us snow days basically. When I was in high school, I was very disgruntled. I have Christmas with at least two families.

12:38 pm
Atalante
same thing? the word means an insult
12:39 pm
hurshy
not same thing
12:39 pm
hurshy
"idiot" is an insult but does not MEAN insult.
12:40 pm
Atalante
the way you've written it could be interpreted 2 ways then :P
12:40 pm
hurshy
ok well i found it
12:40 pm
hurshy
it IS an insult
12:40 pm
hurshy
it is not a synonym for the word "insult"
12:40 pm
dcseain
fa7 is an insult
12:40 pm
Atalante
yes, it's an insult!

hi, EvaN :)
12:42 pm
EvaNadine
anyone here wanna take part in the "Psychopath Test" to see if youre a Psychopath?
12:42 pm
dcseain
huh. to run ahead.
12:42 pm
Atalante
DC! PB!
12:42 pm
Atalante
oooo yes
12:42 pm
dcseain
oh, cool! ty, ata :)
12:43 pm
dcseain
why not, EvaN :)
12:43 pm
EvaNadine
ok, listen up...
12:43 pm
dcseain
i hope there are smashed potatoes in the PB
12:43 pm
EvaNadine
Read this question, come up with an answer and then scroll down to the bottom for the result.
This is not a trick question. It is as it reads.
12:43 pm
EvaNadine
A woman, while at the funeral of her own mother, met a man who she did not know.
She thought he was 'amazing'. She believed him to be her dream partner so much, that she fell in love with him right there, but never asked for his number and could not find him.
12:44 pm
EvaNadine
A few days later she killed her sister.
12:44 pm
EvaNadine
Question:
What was her motive for killing her sister?
12:44 pm
dcseain
to meet the man again, hoping he'd come to the sister's funeral, since he was at the mother's.
12:45 pm
sha
exactly what i thought
12:45 pm
Atalante
inheritance / just didn't like her
12:45 pm
EvaNadine
DC is a psychopath!!
12:45 pm
Anniebrook
ditto
12:45 pm
EvaNadine
sha too!
12:45 pm
dcseain
well, duh! we play babble, don't we. :P
12:46 pm
Atalante
so what is the reasoning behind the question?
12:46 pm
wildcat17
somehow the sister had something to do with the man
12:46 pm
dcseain
good question, ata
12:47 pm
EvaNadine
most people wouldnt relate the funeral to meeting the man.
she wanted to meet him again, so she needed to create another funeral.
12:47 pm
EvaNadine
most non-psychopath people wouldnt see the correlation...
12:47 pm
Atalante
but doesn't that imply reasoning behind the killing, which would negate psychopathy?
12:47 pm

This was a test by a famous American Psychologist used to test if one has the same mentality as a killer.
Many arrested serial killers took part in the test and answered the question correctly.

but the question is phrased to make clear that she met the man at the funeral. it leads one.
12:48 pm
wildcat17
I'm stuck at 70 words to go
12:49 pm
EvaNadine
psychopaths often have reasons for their killings, but they often dont justify right from wrong...
12:51 pm
dcseain
but linking her action to wanting to meet him again says nothing of feelings of right and wrong. Simply says the woman didn't thnk to ask others who were there.
12:52 pm
dcseain
without follow-up questions, it's rather not a very good indicator, i should sa.
12:52 pm
Atalante
but its still a big emotional burden for a psychopath - a) to fall in love and b) to associate that emotion with the reaction. But what do I know!
12:53 pm
EvaNadine
im just sharing the email. i thought it was kinda fun. ;)
12:53 pm
dcseain
that's a point too, ata, and in this case, the woman was lacking in people around her to encourage her to get help
12:53 pm
Atalante
It begins to explain Harris' unbelievably callous behavior: his ability to shoot his classmates, then stop to taunt them while they writhed in pain, then finish them off. Because psychopaths are guided by such a different thought process than non-psychopathic humans, we tend to find their behavior inexplicable. But they're actually much easier to predict than the rest of us once you understand them. Psychopaths follow much stricter behavior patterns than the rest of us because they are unfettered by conscience, living solely for their own aggrandizement.
12:53 pm
wildcat17
a little disturbing ...
12:53 pm
dcseain
so she was likely lonely and/or socially isolated.
12:53 pm
Atalante
oh definitely!!!
12:53 pm
Atalante
None of his victims means anything to the psychopath. He recognizes other people only as means to obtain what he desires. Not only does he feel no guilt for destroying their lives, he doesn't grasp what they feel. The truly hard-core psychopath doesn't quite comprehend emotions like love or hate or fear, because he has never experienced them directly.
"Because of their inability to appreciate the feelings of others, some psychopaths are capable of behavior that normal people find not only horrific but baffling," Hare writes. "For example, they can torture and mutilate their victims with about the same sense of concern that we feel when we carve a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner."
12:54 pm
Atalante
its fun to psychoanalyse the psychiatrists though :P
12:55 pm
EvaNadine
just lets me know that i wouldnt wanna be stranded in a cabin with DC or ATA ;)

Good evening Haz
2:15 pm
Haz1558
Hello all!
2:15 pm
Vicuna
Yay, the chat has just become ha6/36!
2:16 pm
Haz1558
It's nice being a clue possibility.
2:16 pm
Vicuna
Well, duty part 1 was providing sustenance for the body (ie snack), and duty part 2 was to provide sustenance for the intellect (ie read a book).
2:16 pm
Atalante
can't they read on their own yet? outrageous
2:17 pm
Haz1558
And they WANT to read? What about TV or computer games?
2:17 pm
Vicuna
Actually, they can. The library here does a summer reading program and if they read 10 books they get to pick a prize...
2:17 pm
Vicuna
And yesterday they became the first kids of the summer to come in for their prizes!
2:17 pm
Atalante
ooooo fun!
2:17 pm
FMitch
oh I loved to read as a child, I devoured books
2:17 pm
Haz1558
So you mean you get to have books clogging up your house. I call that interfering of the library.
2:17 pm
Vicuna
But they're still at easy readers, so if they want much substance (which they do) I have to provide it. Sigh.
2:18 pm
Haz1558
Trying to offload their stuff into your tidy house.
2:18 pm
Vicuna
Haz, I did consider getting them seriously addicted to TV, but unfortunately my principles triumphed over convenience.
2:18 pm
Vicuna
What tidy house?
2:18 pm
Vicuna
Son would do computer all day if I'd let him, daughter seldom does any.
2:19 pm
Haz1558
Don't you have a tidy house? I suppose having children makes it more difficult unless you tie them to the leg of the table.
2:19 pm
Boobear
clue for re6/27 please
2:20 pm
Vicuna
Not only is my house untidy, but I can't even blame the kids. It was tidiER pre-children, but still hardly pristine.
2:20 pm
Vicuna
re6/27 - stick another lid on the house
2:20 pm
Haz1558
Blame FM?
2:22 pm
Vicuna
Daughter sounds out words very methodically, son seems to get the words magically sometimes. The other day he was looking at the jam jar and said, "This jam has calcium chloride in it." How he knows such words is beyond me.
2:22 pm
Atalante
defintiely blame that on fm
2:22 pm
snags
sounds like my grandson, could spell words like technique and know the meaning at the age of 5
2:23 pm
Vicuna
But daughter writes up a storm and son has relatively little interest in making up his own stories. *shrug*
2:23 pm

sorry, just had to brag.........
2:23 pm

lol, snags! =D

It's good they're different.

I think I need an assistant, th5 seems to be rather a lot of stuff to blame about floating around these days
2:24 pm
Atalante
you could have herin
2:25 pm
Haz1558
We'll blame you if Andy Murray doesn't win Wimbledon.
2:25 pm

You'd think if you thpeak with a lithp...you thould be able to thpell with a lithp.
2:25 pm
Vicuna
Put out an advertisement: Postion open for assistant whipping boy or girl. I'm sure that would bring in loads of resumes.
2:25 pm
FMitch
make it heroin
2:25 pm
Haz1558
I think there might be a few technical difficulties if Fmitch had that particular form of assistance.
2:26 pm
Haz1558
Or should I say forms of assistance?
2:26 pm
FMitch
but possibly dubious candidates Vi
2:26 pm
Haz1558
But Vicuna, think of the strange types who might misunderstand.
2:26 pm
Vicuna
Candidates with an unnatural fondness for leather and handcuffs?
2:27 pm
FMitch
mm that was what I was thinking, being able to provide their own whips various etc
2:27 pm
Vicuna
But if it makes them happy, and it relieves the burden on FM, why not?
2:27 pm
FMitch
true and it would add a certain je ne sait quois to the procedings
2:27 pm
Vicuna
*starts humming "Sweet dreams are made of these..."*

I've updated my icon for my personal motto :-)
2:28 pm
Haz1558
Oh, you can't send me to the PB for something like that! Can you? Where's your mercy?
2:28 pm
FMitch
I say Vi, have you been taking lessons? You are sounding rather good!
2:28 pm
Haz1558
Personal motto - is it written in sarcastic font?
2:29 pm
FMitch
Haz, as the chief of police you must go, and set the example to all
2:29 pm
snags
for those of you that played tangleword, have you tried the new weboggle.com? It has been upgraded and is rather like tangle.
2:29 pm
Vicuna
Oh, is today supposed to be personal motto day? I thought it was ummm. "Something French-Canadian"
2:29 pm
KatieMcG
Oh no I love this motto, have it up in my kitchen, it's one of those things that speaks to me on a bad day.
2:30 pm
Haz1558
Okay, I'll go, but I'm muttering like Muttley did - 'Sassinfrassinrassin'
2:30 pm
FMitch
Brillian Katie!
2:30 pm
Atalante
I have a tshirt with that on :)
2:30 pm
Vicuna
Darn. I'd have done a motto. But alas, Duty Part 2 calls. I'll be back when I can.
2:30 pm
KatieMcG
I don't know if it is personal motto day but the funny icons sent me looking for a picture of the motto that makes me laugh
2:30 pm
Haz1558
Is it personal motto day? For the icon, I mean?
2:30 pm
FMitch
No its not but it should be
2:30 pm
KatieMcG
Lol Ata :-) I need a mug with it on for work to go with the 'look' I sometimes hit my boss with
2:31 pm
Haz1558
Yes, because yesterday could have been dodgiest haircut day.
2:31 pm
KatieMcG
laughing at the memory of the haircut once again, how did the repair go?
2:32 pm

Too darn good Katie, we were all most disappointed.
Karys!! how lovely :)
2:33 pm
Karys
Good to be here...... and with a tale to tell !!
2:33 pm
KatieMcG
He still had to wear it until it was fixed, that's enough for me!
2:33 pm
FMitch
ooooo? Do tell your tale ...!
2:33 pm
Haz1558
Oh good - do tell. Is George Clooney involved?
2:33 pm
Karys
Oh dear Haz.... so sorry, no
2:34 pm
Haz1558
Ah well, I'm sure it's good anyway. (Waiting expectantly)
2:34 pm
Atalante

2:34 pm
Karys
We just got back from our cruise, which was lovely, and would have been even better if we had had our luggage with us !
2:35 pm
Haz1558
Nooooooooooooo!

2:35 pm
Haz1558

2:35 pm
KatieMcG

2:35 pm
Karys
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeees
2:35 pm
Haz1558
Don't tell me you had to wear the same pair of knickers the whole time.
2:35 pm
FMitch

2:36 pm
Karys
We were flying to Barcelona from Manchester via Munich, we got to Barcelona but the cases stayed in Manchester
2:36 pm
KatieMcG
Seriously how did you manage?
2:36 pm
FMitch
Oh heavens!! what a pain.
2:37 pm
Karys
and they went a different route to us, they even went to Pisa ( we didn't )
2:37 pm
Haz1558
You can't blame either Heathrow T5 or FMitch.
2:38 pm
KatieMcG
could you bye stuff to wear & are you covered on your insurance?
2:38 pm
Karys
The ship's staff were wonderful, they even foundme a dress for ther formal night and hired a 'tux' for Roger
2:38 pm
Haz1558
I've just had a thought. Can you imagine what someone's reaction would have been?
2:38 pm
Karys
I got really excited whenI was able to buy a new bra in Florence !!
2:39 pm
Haz1558
And knickers? Did you buy more knickers?
2:39 pm
MLFAN17
AE 5 clue please

Karys

2:39 pm
FMitch
Haz, you are too obsesed
2:39 pm
Haz1558
We all can!
2:40 pm
FMitch
Putting this aside for a second, How was the cruise?
2:40 pm
KatieMcG
Obessed with whom?
2:40 pm
Haz1558
Karys, that must have been a pain but you can still laugh about it, at least.
2:40 pm
FMitch
obsessed with clean undies
2:41 pm
Karys
we were able to buy a pack on board especially for these circumstances which included 3 pairs of knickers.....but you should have seen the ones for Roger ...no, you shouldn't, you really shouldn't...he had to put the light off when he was getting changed !!!
2:41 pm
Haz1558
Absolutely! You never know when you might be hit by a bus and end up in hospital.
2:41 pm
KatieMcG
Now I'm on with that. Usually have about 24 pairs for a 14 day holiday

3:05 pm
icepyro
ae5 is a nest
3:05 pm
Vicuna
True, and I am going to ne4 to come up with some solution to the perpetual problem of dinner... So maybe just a peek!

Atalante
they can have a joke book
3:06 pm
Haz1558
With pictures for illustration.
3:06 pm
lexleeanne
well - you could look in the closet each day and decide whether you will need a jester, a psychologist, an accountant, or a tutor - or a personal trainer and change them like you change clothes
3:07 pm
icepyro
the world itself is much amusement to a jester
3:07 pm
Vicuna
There was a study once that workers who were perpetually told to act "cheerful" for the customers were grouchier than those who weren't.
3:07 pm
lexleeanne
they can cheer each other in the "waiting room"
3:07 pm
Atalante
omg i bet
3:07 pm
Vicuna
Very profound, icepyro!
3:07 pm
Haz1558
You shouldn't have to act cheerful. Being civil is enough.
3:08 pm
lexleeanne
cheerful = Full of cheer.....friendly works
3:08 pm
phaeton
aryn, you should have b een here when i was trying to upload those pics yesterday...what fun!
3:08 pm
Atalante
except if you're a vet from yorkshire
3:09 pm
icepyro
being told to act cheerful is a bad form of moral, however being cheerful is the best way to spread cheer
3:09 pm
Vicuna
If you can just earn a reputation as an eccentric or a "character," you can get away with anything.
3:09 pm
icepyro
the beatings shall continue until morale improves
3:09 pm
lexleeanne
The secretary at our HS - works extra hard at being angry and mean.....the new superintendant told her she HAD to answer the phone "Thank you for calling MHS" - - she is SO pissy now!

This is true, Vicuna.
3:09 pm
Madi95
ughhhh. I just found out that i have to work in the concession stand at the baseball field fron 5:00- 11:30...
3:10 pm
Vicuna
I, for example, went through the arduous work of wearing an owl on my head for three years, but it has all paid off in the end. nothing I do now can cause anyone to do more than raise an eyebrow.
3:10 pm
Atalante
at 12? isnt that child labour lol
3:10 pm
Vicuna
Be cheerful, Madi!
3:10 pm
lexleeanne
Madi - what did you do to deserve THAT pb?
3:10 pm
Haz1558
Is somebody going to ask why Vicuna wore an owl on her head for three years?
3:11 pm
Madi95
i'm the only one who signed up, so i get everybody's shift.
3:11 pm
Atalante
vi, why did you wear an owl on your he**?
3:11 pm
Vicuna
I thought that was evident, Haz! I wanted to earn eccentric status.
3:11 pm
icepyro
with vicuna, I do no more than raise an eyebrow anymore, so why bother asking
3:11 pm
lexleeanne
well treat yourself afterwards Madi
3:11 pm
Haz1558
Oh good. I didn't want to be the only one to raise an eyebrow.
3:11 pm
Vicuna
Oh bother, Ata! My owl and I are going to the PB.
3:11 pm

Hey Madi - my daughter is your age - she's at girls camp this week
3:13 pm
Haz1558
And Vicuna said it first! Nobody called her out! is this because she's eccentric?
3:13 pm
lexleeanne
It's cause she is scarier
3:14 pm
icepyro
Vic sent herself with her owl to the PB, we didnt have to point it out
3:14 pm
Vicuna
Wheee! It's working! Tuwhit tuwhoooo!
3:14 pm
Atalante

3:14 pm

3:16 pm
Vicuna
I have a spare great horned, but they're pretty heavy.
3:17 pm
Haz1558
I'd ne4 something light, I have a small he4.
3:17 pm
icepyro

3:17 pm
phaeton
mlf...forget the fish...you get the whale!!!
3:18 pm
Madi95
i want an animal on my shoulder! How 'bout a squirrel?
3:18 pm
lexleeanne
mmmmmm blubber!!!
3:18 pm
Vicuna
You might want to just try a few pigeons, but that gives a slightly different impression. Less "eccentric"and more "poor crazy homeless woman in the park."
3:18 pm
icepyro
bbiab.. work time
3:18 pm
lexleeanne
Feed the birds tuppence a bag
3:18 pm
Haz1558
No, pigeons aren't my style at all.
3:18 pm

Okay, I know. How about canaries? And they're cheerful, too!
3:19 pm
lexleeanne
how about a pirate parrot
3:19 pm
Vicuna
And if you're ever in a coal mine and they fall down dead, you get warning!
3:19 pm
lexleeanne
you can teach it foul language
3:19 pm
Haz1558
Yes, I'd like a functional and decorative bird.
3:20 pm
lexleeanne
or is that fowl language
3:20 pm
Madi95
nutty and i battle squirrels too.
3:20 pm

Of the last 3 de4/5's...do they all have double vowels?

LIzards aren't really my style either. Sorry to be so fussy in my eccentricity.
3:21 pm
phaeton
Thanks kaz
3:21 pm
Vicuna
But Ata, I think a peacock would be too heady for Haz's small he4.
3:21 pm
Vicuna
Oooops! What a slip! lol
3:21 pm
Vicuna
*heavy, i meant.
3:22 pm
MLFAN17
Kaz whre did you disappear to??
3:22 pm
Haz1558
I could work with a miniature variety, perhaps?
3:22 pm
lexleeanne
I think a BAT
3:22 pm
Madi95
there was a billboard on highway 41 not too long ago. It stated, "We eat trees... tastes like chicken"
3:23 pm
Vicuna
That's a nice thought, lexleeanne. Only they want to hang upside down. Like an earring, perhaps?
3:23 pm
MLFAN17

lexleeanne
they scream like women - hence all the de4/8'ness
3:26 pm
Vicuna
I think Ata wears a killer whale on her he4. Because she's prejudiced against penguins.
3:26 pm
nDanLia
did it turn out like when kiddies do it at 3-4?
3:26 pm
Haz1558
Miniature ones wouldn't be loud. They'd only be able to squeak.
3:26 pm
nDanLia
did it turn out like when kiddies do it at 3-4?

3:47 pm
Haz1558
Let's get the definition of above straight. Above means first, Below is under. de6/21 under the more expensive/ more cherished is de6/21 ending in 2 vowels.
3:47 pm
Haz1558
Back in a minute. Or maybe not.
3:47 pm

Vicuna
The storm seems to be passing on by already.
4:29 pm
LuwandaHL
vicuna, you're having our storms from yesterday
4:30 pm
Atalante
vi - as a random knotty "lesson" - if you have something in the middle that you want to interweave with knotwork, its much easier if you have an even number of bits interweaving. 3 is always an awkward bugger to work in, as I'm sure you found out!
4:30 pm
stidmama
brb phone
4:30 pm
Vicuna
Probably so, Luwanda. Although we've been having these quickie storms rolling through intermittently for the past 3 days or so.
4:31 pm
Vicuna
Yeah, I did, Ata! You probably noticed my "cheat," throwing an extra tendril off the tail to fix the under-over pattern.
4:32 pm
Vicuna
I couldn't figure out how I wanted to do the tail anyway, so the whole thing was sort of experimental.
4:32 pm
Atalante
yep :P stick to even things in future LOL it really makes life easier!
4:32 pm
LuwandaHL
it's been hitting indiana like that for about 4 weeks
4:33 pm
LuwandaHL
we've had an unbelievable amount of rain this month
4:33 pm

its really funny seeing how other people cheat to get knots working properly *grin*
4:33 pm
Vicuna
That's enough to get tiresome, Luwanda!
4:33 pm
Vicuna
Well, my dear Ata, we can't all be masters! =)
4:34 pm
Vicuna
And I'll just he4 straight for the PB without passing Go.

Isn't art wonderful? =D
4:35 pm
Atalante
absolutely :D
4:35 pm
DR1965
it's not cheating, it's creativity at work
4:35 pm
Atalante
and thats a nice thing about knotwork, people simply don't notice the little fudges to get things to work
4:36 pm
Dorens
hi jbv. stid and all. (ata. i'm down to 58 and starting to feel whiny)
4:36 pm
Vicuna
Actually, it's my opinion that most people don't notice most fudges in most sorts of art.
4:36 pm
Atalante
go go Dorens! go Dorens! go Dorens!
4:36 pm
Vicuna
Which is why people who get upset and uptight over their own art's imperfections are wasting their time.
4:36 pm
DR1965
Hi Dorens.. Whiny was he4 earlier.. you missed that group
4:36 pm
Atalante
actually, that's very true. especially the things that scream out to the artist themselves
4:37 pm
Vicuna
Hang in th5, Dorens!
4:37 pm
Dorens
don't know exactly what you mean dr, but I suppose i'm glad of it. babblers aren't supposed to whine

and same to you Luwanda, btw.
4:49 pm
jillibus
I'm seldom here at this time of day
4:49 pm
Uniquity
'I like chocolate milk!' I can never pick a favourite. Bloo's comedy is hilarious, but Eduardo is so adorable. And the bird type one who plocks a lot.
4:49 pm
jillibus

4:50 pm
72 Temple Owl

4:51 pm
DR1965
Dan, Dan, Dan... * shakes he4 at bro...
4:51 pm
Uniquity
Jilli, did you really never eat poutine? it's my favourite simple food. Perfection in my eyes...potatoes cheese and gravy!
4:51 pm
redturtlehead
Hi Temple owl, how goes it?
4:51 pm
72 Temple Owl
i think i will head home, probably finish later
4:52 pm
redturtlehead
Oh My gosh uni, poutine sounds like too much of a fat fest, which is probably why its so good eh?
4:52 pm
72 Temple Owl
stressful. which means life at this point!
4:53 pm
Uniquity
Poutine is amazing. And potato pancakes. I love using potatoes...
4:53 pm
jillibus
Really and truly, never ate poutine! Did have fries and gravy on a BC ferry once though. Large helping of cholesterol guilt.
4:53 pm
lynxxx
th7.32*2 & th7.44 - all compounds, ala same 5 letters to start, legal-type words
4:53 pm
redturtlehead
Oh No TO. I hope it gets easier soon.
4:53 pm
Uniquity
Well, if you bake your own 'fries' as I do, the only fat really comes from the cheese. And it's not that much cheese, necesarilly...
4:53 pm
72 Temple Owl
havs everyone had cheese fries? i will be wallowing it them next week cooking for church carnival
4:53 pm
redturtlehead
gravy...= fat....
4:53 pm
lynxxx
Must go, busy day - bye everyone, have fun
4:54 pm
72 Temple Owl
of course, the cheese must be cheez wiz
4:54 pm
Dorens
finally. got to 50 and may use lickety's list as per ata!
4:54 pm
jillibus
bfn lynxxx!
4:54 pm
Uniquity
Not necessarily if you make that yourself too, Red. Sodium, yep. But there are always ways around things. Not that I care to find them, I am just cheap.
4:54 pm
Atalante
YAYYYY Dorens :D
4:54 pm
LuwandaHL
i actually had some garlic cheese fries i shared with my friend for lunch at a pub today
4:54 pm
redturtlehead
Oh my gosh, you all are making me feel slightly nauseous...
4:55 pm
Dorens
thanks ata... he** held very high indeed!
4:55 pm
LuwandaHL
the sauce was made with 3 cheeses
4:55 pm
Atalante
so I should think!
4:55 pm
redturtlehead
dorens did you fireworks???
4:55 pm
72 Temple Owl
red you don't like cheez wiz =O
4:55 pm
redturtlehead
yaaay!!!!
4:55 pm
jillibus
If you go the link in my bio you'll get lots more info about poutine, cheese fries, etc
4:55 pm
LuwandaHL
i usually don't eat fries
4:55 pm
Uniquity
Cheese fries...fries with melted cheese on top?
4:55 pm
redturtlehead
red does not like cheese whiz...
4:55 pm
Dorens
can't handle cheez whiz owl, too much of a purist. (don't tell me what pat's puts on its cheesesteaks i don't want to know!)-------no red, thanks but i only got down to 50 listless
4:55 pm
LuwandaHL
but my friend offered to share hers
4:56 pm
LuwandaHL
i actually liked them
4:56 pm
JBV
hi, Uni and ata and red and luwanda, jillibus, TO, dorens, lots of people on right now -
4:56 pm
Uniquity
I love fries, but refuse to buy them. I make my own roasted potato stick things which are fries in my eyes! And tastier..
4:56 pm
jillibus
I WAS going to dive into the grid...
4:56 pm
72 Temple Owl
LOL i prefer american on my steak but when in rome
4:56 pm
redturtlehead
oops, dorens it was in anticipation.
4:56 pm
redturtlehead
I need to finish off my dinner.
4:56 pm
Dorens
i prefer provolone. (is that too weird?)
4:56 pm
JBV
this cheez whiz and fries chat is a little too caloric for me - I'm having carrot sticks with red pepper dip made with fat free sour cream
4:57 pm
LuwandaHL
the calories and fat didn't count because i didn't or*** them myself
4:57 pm
72 Temple Owl
;) the only thing worse than wiz is cheese in a can
4:57 pm
jillibus
I prefer my steak very rare and pure -- no cheese of any kind on it.
4:57 pm
72 Temple Owl
nice logic lu
4:57 pm
Uniquity
Provolone is good stuff, Dorens!
4:57 pm
redturtlehead
its ok jbv, I managed some tofu, a baked potato, and I need to have some fruit and milk...
4:57 pm
Atalante
ditto here, Jilli
4:57 pm
jillibus
Wot a good girl, JBV!
4:57 pm
72 Temple Owl
ok saee you later, gators! *poof*
4:57 pm
Dorens
i thought whiz was in a can
4:57 pm
LuwandaHL
american cheese rank up th*** with cheese whiz
4:58 pm
redturtlehead
Darn, I forgot to have a fat. Wonders if olive oil on berries would be edible.
4:58 pm
72 Temple Owl
you are right doren. i mean the kind in an AEROSOL can!
4:59 pm
Dorens
if eating a real steak, i am with you jilli. but in Philadelphia there's something called cheesesteak sandwich which is made of shaved steak pieces and melted cheese on a good italian roll. haven't had one since 1975. when we didn't care about that kind of stuff
4:59 pm
72 Temple Owl
i must steel myslef, i will smell like burgers and fries all week next week :D
4:59 pm
JBV
olive oil is good on almost everything, red, but have the berries with milk - how about a shake?
4:59 pm
72 Temple Owl
later! *poof for real*
5:00 pm
jillibus
oh, that sounds good, dorens -- shaved doesn't count.
5:00 pm
Dorens
berries are delicious with greek yogurt
5:00 pm
redturtlehead
I have to have a fat, a calcium and a fruit or veg.
5:00 pm
LuwandaHL
oooh i picked some raspberries today. just a handful but the first
5:00 pm
redturtlehead
Perhaps best to simply eat the olive oil. I should have put it on the potato.
5:01 pm
jillibus
2%yogurt with berries...
5:01 pm
JBV
"when we didn't care about that kind of stuff" is how I got to where I am which is watching every single gram and drop of what I eat to keep off the weight I struggled to lose and to keep on going
5:01 pm
Dorens
yogurt has calcium and can have fat too
5:01 pm
Dorens
oh, send some here please luwanda!
5:01 pm
redturtlehead
Oooh fun! Luwanda! I love to pick berries.
5:01 pm
Atalante
have you got any nuts, red?
5:01 pm
LuwandaHL
i have been putting the seed along the woods in my back yord
5:02 pm
redturtlehead
This is true dorens, but I am not allowed to count one food as two sources Its a little wierd lately.
5:02 pm
LuwandaHL
they are finally producing some
5:02 pm
redturtlehead
Oh Nuts would be a good choice, but no. I have olive oil, cheese or margarine...
5:02 pm
Dorens
i'm with you there jbv... and if anyone hasn't tried 0% fat yogurt, you need to try it... incredibly rich tasting..
5:02 pm

LuwandaHL
hubby just called
5:03 pm
Dorens
hi lndrick. how are you today?
5:03 pm
redturtlehead
It's not a lose weight diet jilli, it's more of a gain and hold on to weight diet...as you might can tell, from the insistence on a fat.
5:03 pm
Lindrickway
hi lu & jilli
5:03 pm
Atalante
I'd have some cheese then, at least that is edible on its own!
5:03 pm
LuwandaHL

Though I'd love it if they could actually make the room bigger for me!

9:49 pm
godthaab
FIREWORKS! VERY EXCELLENT!
9:49 pm
Jacula
You could get clever with a sound effects box, dawg, and make static and stuff, and break your voice up. Or you could just go for a straight cut-off and say your 'phone must've gone wrong.
9:49 pm
lbdawger
telemarketers...i have no problem hanging up on them.
9:49 pm
lbdawger
whoooo whooooo GODTHAAB

Moon i am on the Do not call register they call i tell them off.
9:52 pm
nrkii
I have trouble hanging up on telemarketers because I work in market research and I know for phone market research people how bad their job stinks...
9:52 pm
nrkii
but I do hang up as politely as possible with telemarketers who won't take 2 no's for an answer
9:53 pm
nrkii
and I do tell telemarketers to take me off their list if they call a second time
9:53 pm
Jacula
Herin - I'm on that (TPS he4 in UK) but you have to reregister every 12 months.
9:53 pm
herinfernallady
I have a no mercy policy
9:53 pm
BzznBea
er5/12 - to eat away, like soil

9:54 pm
carleekat
i hang up after 2 no's too
9:55 pm
nrkii
my goodness, when did that "S" show up in the top corner of today's grid? I swear it wasn't there when I started, because I missed every plural in the list!
9:55 pm
BzznBea
fo6/7 combo?
9:57 pm
nrkii
not a combo... fo6 - prior + short word for h***style
9:57 pm
Jacula
LOL, nrkii.
9:57 pm
nrkii
fo7 = prior + went very fast on foot
9:58 pm
BzznBea
ty, nrkii.
9:58 pm
Jacula
fo6 = to act before. fo7 = moved very quicly on legs before.
9:58 pm
herinfernallady
ok who is making up these words
9:59 pm
Jacula
Herin - they're real words. Honest!
9:59 pm
herinfernallady
What would you do if your kids teacher swore at your kid?
9:59 pm
nDanLia
I ask for their home # and what hours they sleep
10:00 pm
nDanLia
here, someone would likely sue as it's detrimental to their self-esteem
10:00 pm
BzznBea
I'd talk to the teacher with the principal in attendance.
10:00 pm
ajv74
Good morning, all! I try to get some of my missing 73 words before the flip.
10:00 pm
herinfernallady
My head hurts
10:00 pm
Jacula
I'd tell my kids' teacher that he or she is not very intelligent if he or she can't think of alternative words to express their anger or annoyance, Herin.
10:01 pm
herinfernallady
Excuse me i need to lob stuff at the telly
10:01 pm
Jacula
What is 'lob' stuff?
10:01 pm
Thazzy
Hello all
10:01 pm
Jacula
Oh! Throwing things at it?
10:02 pm
BzznBea
How do you know the teacher swore at your child?
10:02 pm
Jacula
Not advisable.
10:02 pm
Jacula
Herin doesn't have any children, as far as I know.
10:03 pm
BzznBea
What I'm saying is if your child comes home from school and says the teacher swore at them, how do you know that without talking to the teacher.
10:04 pm
herinfernallady
No i dont have kids. Its my friends kid. The new teacher doesn't like him and now reading back he says that said boy swore at him but he actually called another kid a dog
10:04 pm
Thazzy
Maybe it's just me, but if a teacher is driven to the point of swearing at a child, What did the child do?
10:04 pm
nDanLia
Hmmm, elvira, that seems to explain a bit
10:06 pm
Jacula
I'd ask the child what, exactly, the teacher said before proceeding further.
10:06 pm
herinfernallady
Ok so the teacher didn't swear at the student it was the other way around. The poor kid is so confused as he knows that he would be in huge trouble
10:07 pm
Jacula
Ah! That's a different thing altogether, Herin.
10:08 pm
herinfernallady
This teen has asburgers so he has a slight problem understanding some things but he knows that if he swears at a teacher hes in deep poop. He is on a permanent conduct card so there is always interaction between him the school and the parents
10:09 pm
Jacula
Asperger's Syndrome can be a problem, but the school should have been informed about the child's condition and so be prepared to cope with it.
10:10 pm
Jacula
I do hope the child wasn't sent to the school with his condition not mentioned. That would be a very bad way of dealing with his predicament.
10:10 pm
herinfernallady
Jac the school is up to speed with it all. its a new teacher thats the issue. Also said new teacher called the teen an idiot and stupid. The school has accepted his difficulties this teacher hasn't. Hurts my brain
10:10 pm
herinfernallady
Ok were is these words?
10:11 pm
Jacula
Herin - parent must then tell head teacher what new teacher said.
10:11 pm
nDanLia
its a fine line to walk between mainstreaming and some special environments; but all adults should be aware & on board
10:12 pm
nDanLia
the words are in the imagination of a multi-dimensional being for whom we are a science project
10:12 pm
Jacula
I think you mean whe4 are these words, dear Herin?
10:12 pm
herinfernallady
Yep.
10:12 pm
herinfernallady
Dan i like that
10:13 pm
herinfernallady
i didn't have that one
10:13 pm
torgone
ANY teacher should know better than to call a student names - whatever the circumstance ..
10:13 pm
Jacula
I agree, Torg. And, Hi, btw.
10:13 pm

10:19 pm
Jacula
She's doing fine, Harp. Moving into her own home soon.
10:19 pm
Jacula
Hee, hee, Herin - because it's your winter and our summer, maybe? It's so hot upstairs here that I'm back downstairs now.
10:20 pm
herinfernallady

10:33 pm
herinfernallady

10:33 pm
Jacula
Prat has not replied to my message to remove the link.
10:34 pm
herinfernallady
Can you contact Facebook Jac?
10:35 pm
Jacula
Yes, I can, Herin. But I didn't want to do that without giving the guy a chance first. However, he's blown it.
10:35 pm
herinfernallady
Ok rude
10:36 pm
Jacula
I fear it's going to have to remain 'by inviitation' only for quite some time, Herin.
10:36 pm
herinfernallady
I gave someone a week to remove my details then i was going to publicly post
10:37 pm
Jacula
But, like I said in my blog, you can have 100 re4ers, so I doubt I'll explode the allowed number.
10:38 pm
herinfernallady
