12:18 am

AprilD

I am almost getting to the point where I don't have to use them, almost... it is about every third or fourth grid now where I did. In the beginning it was every single grid (2 or 3 years ago)

12:18 am

AprilD

I realized recently and was quite pleased!

12:19 am

jillibus

we all have our own ways to do this, right?

12:19 am

AprilD

hi nan

12:19 am

AprilD

It seems that way

12:19 am

DR1965

YEs Jilli. I have found that I recognize more words now than I did whe nI started

12:36 am

MonkeyGames

12:36 am

No Blank Tiles, thazzy, but if you've run out of non-pro I guess you don't see them

12:37 am

non-pro?

Yeah, at the top of the page it says upgrade to pro. I haven't yet

12:38 am

cybernan

an 6-7 x2

12:38 am

jillibus

mlf, as you know, when you first start babbling you get the tiles below the grid, but after two weeks they disappear. If you go pro for $15 just once, you get them back, along with how many words in the grid etc.

12:39 am

12:41 am

MLFAN17

12:41 am

jillibus

I know -- I used to use Netscape

12:43 am

jillibus

Hi sprite :)

3:06 am

3:06 am

sprite

oh, wanna hear something funny from my son?

3:08 am

lynxxx

of course

3:08 am

sprite

I had this terrible dream last night, where he was missing and we didn't know if he had run away, had been kidnapped or had met with an accident.
I told him about the dream and that I was so happy it was not real... and I said: "Don't you ever dare to run away and make us worried like that, for I swear I will kill you."

3:09 am

sprite

and he said: "If you could find me, that is."
So I said: "You forget how great I am in finding stuff."
And he laughed and said: "You forget how great I am in making stuff go missing."

3:10 am

lynxxx

cheeky - don't know who he gets it from

3:10 am

sprite

roflol... isn't it great to have kids his age. You get back all you ever put into them. They are both so very handy with remarks :D

3:12 am

sprite

it is a bit of a family tradition with us... we love to have all these verbal puns and ripostes. We laugh a lot.

3:14 am

lynxxx

we all like plays on words too

3:14 am

sprite

3:30 am

clownfacedhunter

LP .."the "g" by the "g" with the "d"..just tuning in to ..and maybe I missed something? signed fellow Maple Leaf

3:31 am

LoriP

Bottom tiles greyed. Only 169 to go! :p

3:32 am

sprite

Lori, you are the bestest and fastest as ever

3:32 am

LoriP

The 4/5 threw me for a bit, but that's the beauty of corner tiles, options are few, so monkeys rule!

3:32 am

clownfacedhunter

that explains it.. Good Luck LP

3:33 am

Atalante

lori's not being smug, is she?

3:33 am

sprite

no way, we leave that for you, Ata. Hi.

3:33 am

clownfacedhunter

She's On A Roll!!!..

3:33 am

Atalante

good, just checking!

3:34 am

LoriP

I could never achieve the level of smug that Ata has. I defer to greatness. G'd morning Ata Hari.

3:34 am

sprite

how are you guys doing with the grid? Is it a tough one?

3:35 am

LoriP

I have 17, so I must be a genius, and the grid must be easy. lol

3:35 am

sprite

Smugalante

wow, got it, lyn, thanks. New word for me.

3:40 am

Atalante

now I've eaten about a billion cherries, I feel fortified enough to start the grid

3:41 am

LoriP

Ooh, cherries. Yum! Strawberry season here.

3:41 am

sprite

I am finding it relatively tough, Ata... you might want to have some extra cherries handy

3:42 am

Atalante

i have 2 more boxes full in the fridge

3:42 am

sprite

ok, then you'll be fine.

3:43 am

Haz1558

Can grid difficulty be measured in cherry boxes?

3:43 am

sprite

I think so. Hi Haz.

3:43 am

Atalante

apparently so!

3:44 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all.

3:44 am

Lorrie_in_SA

Hiya Haz

3:44 am

Haz1558

The only thing is that some people would have to consume more than others. There'd have to be a sliding scale.

3:44 am

Atalante

good morning haz and mlle la glitterata

3:44 am

LoriP

G'd morning Haz

3:44 am

Haz1558

Somebody needs to warn the cherry orchard.

3:44 am

lynxxx

only by the cherry pip splatters on the screen

3:44 am

lynxxx

morning Haz

3:45 am

sprite

I like sliding scales

3:45 am

Atalante

the only problem is that eating too many cherries gives you stomach ache lol

3:45 am

Haz1558

Helo all (that takes in everyone who has said hi)

3:46 am

sprite

that would be a huge helo

3:47 am

Haz1558

It is a big hello, you're right. It has to get to Australia via South Africa.

3:47 am

Haz1558

So, this is reckoned to be a 2 cherry box grid?

3:47 am

Atalante

I think so

3:48 am

SamanthaJoy

Two cherry box?

3:48 am

sprite

easier for a hello than for a helo. Halo. Whatever.
For me it is a 3 box grid so far. Still need 8 7s and 80 words.

3:48 am

sprite

hi Samantha

3:48 am

SamanthaJoy

Hi there!

3:48 am

Haz1558

Samantha Joy, if you scroll back in chat a little you'll follow our line of reasoning.

3:49 am

lynxxx

hi Sam

3:49 am

LoriP

G'd morning Samantha

3:49 am

Lorrie_in_SA

Greetings Samantha

3:49 am

SamanthaJoy

I am completely baffled by The Mystery of The Missing L. ... And, uh, didn't the US have a President who died from cherries?

3:50 am

Haz1558

It must have been a really hard grid that day.

3:50 am

sprite

you beat me to that one, Haz, lol

3:50 am

SamanthaJoy

LMAO

3:51 am

Atalante

Missing L?

3:52 am

sprite

if it is the ly7, you need a sharper eye.

3:52 am

Haz1558

I'm going to have to find out about this president. Google will know something.

3:53 am

SamanthaJoy

Zachary Taylor, Haz, and it might have been heat stroke that ng milkng cherries and drinkikilled him, but he definitely spent all day in the sun eati

3:53 am

sprite

Zachary Taylor , Haz

3:53 am

SamanthaJoy

Apparently my mouse jumped a line

3:53 am

Haz1558

Google agrees, Keep out of the sun, Atalante, and don't drink any milk!

3:54 am

sprite

ohoh, I see a confession here. I killed him, she just wrote!

3:54 am

Atalante

ok, no milk today!

3:54 am

lynxxx

There is a lovely ma6.24 which describes some of us when the grid is like this

3:54 am

Haz1558

I suppose George Bush turns down all invitations to cherry pie eating contests.

3:55 am

sprite

if things could on4 be that easy

3:55 am

SamanthaJoy

I have ly 7, lo4x2, la4x3, la5x2, and la 6x3., and I think GB is a leeeetle more afraid of the pretzels

4:00 am

SamanthaJoy

4:02 am

4:07 am

LoriP

Go ATa Hari! ***releases celebratory pigeons***

4:07 am

sprite

oh, I did have that one, lol. Should have looked better.

4:07 am

Haz1558

There is. It could be defined as males who have a non-salaried position in the church?

4:08 am

SamanthaJoy

Well slap me around with a wet trout and call me Sally.

4:08 am

sprite

np Sally

4:08 am

Haz1558

How're you doing, there, Sally?

4:08 am

Atalante

if you insist

4:08 am

lynxxx

ma6.24 sounds a bit like Dobie Gillis's friend, substitute tthe y for a vowel and drop the second last letter

4:08 am

rolin

so if we are allowed the la6/27..why cant with have hit***

4:08 am

SamanthaJoy

All glory be to Haz. And a thankee to Sprite, Haz, and Ata for honoring my wishes in the matter.

4:09 am

Haz1558

No problem, Sally,glad to help.

4:09 am

Haz1558

Ah, enable has gone all non-violent, rolin.

4:09 am

lynxxx

change the vowel Rolin

4:10 am

rolin

aaahh

4:10 am

sprite

thanks for the ma6.

4:10 am

Atalante

oh yes, because that's a much more well known word!

4:10 am

Haz1558

That's just enable being twisted.

4:12 am

Haz1558

Two separate words for the hired killer, apparently.

4:12 am

sprite

pfui, 70 to go. I am going nowhere truly fast with this grid.

4:13 am

Atalante

87 to go!

4:13 am

rolin

omg..i just went to google dobie gillis...( i still havent worked out that clue)..and did you know warren beattie was in that show too?

4:13 am

sprite

*gets ready to wave at Ata when she rushes past*

4:14 am

Haz1558

Those cherries are the business.

4:14 am

Atalante

rush might be a bit energetic

4:15 am

sprite

rolin: ma + finish, insert vowel before last letter.

4:16 am

rolin

ty sprite..stramnge word

4:16 am

rolin

but now ive read the definition...perfect..lol

4:17 am

SamanthaJoy

hOddly, it's one I already knew, from ym extensive reading of classic liter . . . uh, from reading a vampire mystery

4:17 am

Haz1558

As if we're ever anything less than serene and composed.

4:17 am

rolin

and lynxx..i reread your clue...i misread 'friend' for girl friend

4:17 am

Atalante

oh I love it - the not quite hired killer word means "the title assumed by the chief of Ukrainian Cossacks of the Dnieper River region, with headquarters at Zaporozhe"

4:18 am

rolin

ok..i better go and make my lunchtime sandwich and get ready for work..

4:18 am

4:19 am

sprite

bye rolin, have a grand day

4:20 am

Haz1558

So, if a group of ma6/24 were to misbehave in the Dnieper River region, they'd come to the attention of the he6/24?

4:20 am

sprite

yay, 3rd 7 am. I am learning.

4:21 am

sprite

and then would become known as he*ma6.

4:22 am

4:26 am

sprite

that he6 has a plural 7.

4:27 am

sprite

she has picked the wrong boss to make that work, Ata

4:27 am

LoriP

***I bet Hobbit wins, through the irritation factor***

4:27 am

Atalante

she's sulking now. she has such a hard life

4:27 am

Atalante

she does eventually, yep!

4:27 am

Haz1558

You've never fallen for her agitation tactics before.

4:28 am

4:42 am

Atalante

"sorry, hobbit, can't go for a walk today, Haz made me drink hard liquor"

4:43 am

Haz1558

Just enough to sharpen your thinking, not enough to affect your balance. Is there such an amount?

4:44 am

Atalante

hmmm

8:39 am

Haz1558

Hello Ata!

Well, my doctor is sure I didn't and the pain, even when he presses right on it, is dull, not sharp. I think I must have just really bruised up teh bones. Or something.

Monkey - you probably tore ligaments. I did that to my foot a few years ago. Thought I broke it because I heard it pop. Was a good 8 weeks before it felt normal again. It's hell being hobbled.

hean

9:11 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks, Judi. That's likely it. I guess I'll give it a few more weeks (it's 12 and counting now) before I demand a soft-tissue scan or something. It doesn't really interfere with waht I can do anymore, it just hurts.

9:11 am

LynnNate08

9:19 am

anike

Actually I get to fly one way to Tasmania because we are using his van - can;t afford the cost of putting the trailer on the ferry so have to take less gear. My husband and I rolled our car in outback NSW on the way to Brisbane Road covered in ice) and had to buy a bomb to get us home. Have to sort out the insurance now.

9:20 am

Hey, carlee

9:21 am

Judi

Wow. That sounds like more adventure than you bargained for, Anike. Hope your son has sponsors to pay for his equipment and travel.

flosey

thanks Ishult

9:23 am

anike

Yeah - S*** happens apparently but we are both OK so that's the main thing. The ferry is $63 for the van and would be another $1000 for the trailer plus the personal fares. The cost of fuel is killing us this year - about $2500 per trip east.

9:23 am

redturtlehead

OK, must go back to the gym. Yay. I think I need to pump up my Yay.

9:24 am

Judi

$1000 for a ferry ride??? That's insane! I'd swim before I paid that.

9:25 am

herinfernallady

Later Red. Yes Anike its rediculous. Its going to cost the b.f and I $600 for the pair of us from melbourne to tas

9:25 am

anike

Adam has some sponsors but most of the cost comes out of his own pocket and we help with travel and accommodation. He is winning (leading) our state championship this year so may get more sponsorship after that.

9:26 am

flosey

best of luck to him anike

9:52 am

stidmama

"math" is fun. theory behind math is hard... it hasn't been my favorite subject since 5th grade though when a teacher thought "long division" was advanced math -- I think she just didn't really want to teach the upper-level class and took it out on us.

9:53 am

carleekat

hmmm.... ok...i always loved the theory... I was one of those that never memorized formula...I just always went back to first principals..and get my equations for exams that way

9:53 am

carleekat

formulae*..pardon me

9:53 am

MonkeyGames

For teh curious, after many, many minutes on the phone with my insurer, talking to four departments, they tracked down that IF one gets this heart monitor through the family practitioner with the form I have, then it is not so much that they insure ME for it: it is covered by the Hartstichting (Heart Society), and THEY get the money back from my insurer. So I am definitely covered. To cap that off nicely, they gave me an appointment for tomorrow at 13:30 to get the machine. I also checked with some online resources, and yes, the thing DOES save the several seconds of heart rhythm occurring just BEFORE I hit the button, which is good because my "event" is normally quite brief.

9:54 am

MonkeyGames

And I need to go put dinner on now. Have fun folks!

9:54 am

carleekat

this si good news monkey...

9:54 am

stidmama

:-D I can derive formulae... but it has been more than 20 years since I did anything but statistics... the review of "why" the basic principles work is completely new. And I would enjoy it more if I had more time to work on it.

9:54 am

stidmama

GOOD for you Monkey!

9:55 am

stidmama

enjoy your supper!

9:55 am

carleekat

2:25 pm

missbeeze

instead of the daily frustration...plus now the kitty cat - which would be added frustration with a puzzle like that

2:25 pm

crosshair

i agree,as i recall it took 8 months and many bottles of vodka and boxes of ritz crackers:/

2:25 pm

missbeeze

lol - comfort foods ;)

2:25 pm

nancethefan

today, zane & i bought RoseArt Save-A-Puzzle. it saves, laminates & preserves jigsaw puzzles - dries quick, clear & bright - we are going to mat & frame them ourselves

2:26 pm

missbeeze

2:26 pm

crosshair

of course

2:26 pm

missbeeze

or is wine too mild for puzzling...

2:27 pm

missbeeze

nance - the save a puzzle? how does that work? do you put the completed puzzle in it?

2:27 pm

crosshair

if wine is too mild,just do boilermakers with it

2:27 pm

lynxxx

I have several Al Lorenz crossword puzzles which I have done again & again. Available software version only now - not the same thing

2:27 pm

missbeeze

not sure what a boilermaker is cross

2:27 pm

nancethefan

they also had single thomas kinkade puzzles - but i hope you can find the 10 one

2:28 pm

crosshair

a boilermaker is usually a large stien of beer,then you drop a shot glass full of whiskey in it and chug the whole thing down

2:28 pm

crosshair

2:28 pm

2:29 pm

missbeeze

nance - do you put the puzzle in the puzzle saver when it is done?

2:30 pm

crosshair

we used to turn the finished puzzle upside down and spread some elmers wood glue all over it and use a cardboard backing

2:30 pm

Kazozz

some interesting words in this grid today!

2:31 pm

lynxxx

not sure missBreeze

2:32 pm

nancethefan

save-a-puzzle says to "apply liberally with the applicater that is fixed to the cap & spread over the entire surface filling all cracks. for a firmer puzzle, apply on the reverse side also".

2:32 pm

missbeeze

hmmm - i'll have to check that out too

2:33 pm

missbeeze

lynxxx you said you did Al Lorenz crosswords over and over?? i never did crosswords over and over - were they jigsaws?

2:33 pm

nancethefan

it was beside the puzzles - $3.49 i believe it was. i hope that helps.

2:34 pm

lynxxx

oh sorry! jigsaws of course

2:34 pm

missbeeze

that is good info...i'm gonna go tonight - i have to run errands so i'll check it out..i looked online, but i couldn't find so i'll have to check at store!

2:34 pm

missbeeze

i thought so lynxxx - i was confused - never heard of him...i like the FX Schmid ones...but they are pricey

2:35 pm

nancethefan

i sure hope you find the 10 i did - they are so pretty

2:35 pm

3:24 pm

SeanS

i know, i just need a day where i'm not at work, or where i'm in a money spending mood, and i'll pro-it-up

3:24 pm

jacq

this is my second time playing i told my folks about it too

3:24 pm

SeanS

nan, they go away after 2 weeks if you don't go pro

3:24 pm

missbeeze

it is especially challenging that way...i had a fleeting thought this morning before i pushed the "charge/go pro" button that i could try to set some sort of babble record for not going pro, but then i figured you have a jump on me for that anyways...

3:25 pm

Atalante

lol, there are people here that haven't gone pro for years

3:25 pm

SeanS

haha, i'm sure there are many people who have done it much longer than me... i've only been playing for a couple months

3:25 pm

missbeeze

you need to pro it up...i actually did it at work, it isn't hard - i work everyday and babble

3:25 pm

nancethefan

what goes away? the words while you are playing?

3:25 pm

redturtlehead

the fireworks and stuff Nance.

3:25 pm

missbeeze

i know - that is why it was fleeting - b/c i knew that people were in way longer than me!

3:25 pm

redturtlehead

I was not pro fro a long long time.

3:26 pm

SeanS

the stats panels at the bottom go away, as do your congratulatory firewords, nan

3:26 pm

SeanS

fireworks*

3:26 pm

lexleeanne

Tile stats area from blue words and down

3:26 pm

missbeeze

3:26 pm

nancethefan

o man - i'm glad i went pro then

3:26 pm

SeanS

it does make it more challenging...

3:26 pm

missbeeze

i remember being into digital blasphemy a few years back... probably what inspired me to started creating my own digital photos

3:42 pm

missbeeze

i do have a photo on my computer, but when i put it in the icon box was just black?

3:42 pm

icepyro

oh my wallpapers I use come from www.digitalblasphemy.com - another all cg wallpaper site, not quite as surreal

3:42 pm

missbeeze

ill check that out...

3:43 pm

lexleeanne

miss - you have to refresh

3:43 pm

icepyro

his wallpapers only keep getting closer to real.... some I can hardly tell are not photos

3:43 pm

SeanS

refresh is also F5 key, for those that like shortcuts

3:44 pm

missbeeze

i did push refresh, but it was still black? i pushed the two green arrows?

3:44 pm

missbeeze

i'll be back - i'm gonna try it again....

3:45 pm

redturtlehead

sometimes photos dont upload as they should miss beee. I had a problem with one photo comign out Huuuuge, really huge.

3:45 pm

icepyro

f5 is the only shortcut key I think I use.... I used to use f11, but with firefox I have so many tabs open, harder to easily switch

3:46 pm

SeanS

i use F3 a lot too... but rarely us F11. basically use it to undo it when i accidentally hit F11

3:47 pm

icepyro

photosize is relative to screen, a nice digital camera takes a very huge picture that you may not realize when you view it and the viewing program autoshrinks to screen

3:47 pm

lexleeanne

Play babble.com will now host... Tech Talk

3:47 pm

redturtlehead

It's very strange though how photos of the same kb sie one processes down and the other stays huge.

3:48 pm

rururocks

oh these m's are killers

3:48 pm

lexleeanne

starring our commentators: SeanS and Icepyro with special guest red turtle head

3:49 pm

lexleeanne

I did start to haze over there though

3:50 pm

SeanS

3:50 pm

redturtlehead

I think I meant mostly at work....but yes...pretty much if stuff breaks, i end up getting a new one.

3:50 pm

SeanS

sorry, i'm a sucker for terrible jokes

3:50 pm

nancethefan

brb

3:50 pm

redturtlehead

SeanS

3:51 pm

icepyro

3:52 pm

lexleeanne

4:45 pm

SeanS

"OH! now HE said it!"

4:45 pm

Vicuna

jacq, you said "one," which is almost a grid word, and one isn't supposed to type grid words in the chat. But TO was trying to accuse me of saying a grid word when it isn't anyway, and anyway, she'd already said it FIRST!

4:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

5:37 pm

danf63

hey Vi

5:38 pm

Vicuna

Hello, danf.

5:38 pm

lizmac

Right got them, Fireworks ...thanks. Yes, a cherry cake over here, I must find out why.

Atalante

5:38 pm

Vicuna

Yay for lizmac!

5:39 pm

5:39 pm

redturtlehead

5:39 pm

lizmac

Yep, like a Madeira cake with glace cherries in it.

5:40 pm

Vicuna

Hmmm. Fresh cherries are ambrosia, but I'm not so fond of glace.

5:40 pm

Atalante

nor me

5:40 pm

Vicuna

Not fond of alcohol in cakes, either, if that's what a Madeira cake involves.

5:41 pm

Atalante

nope, madeira cakes are alcofrol free

5:41 pm

jacq

madiera is lemon

5:41 pm

lizmac

No, no wine involved, must find out the origin of that too!!

5:41 pm

Atalante

madeira's plain I think

5:41 pm

Atalante

its yummy anyway

5:42 pm

Vicuna

Oh, okay then. Lemon sounds fine! So, who's providing this ge5 cake for the education of the masses?

5:42 pm

lizmac

Here, here, Ata!

5:43 pm

Vicuna

Darn. No cake for me, apparently. *sigh*

5:44 pm

BzznBea

5:45 pm

danf63

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEA!!! May it be the best yet!

5:45 pm

Vicuna

Feeling stupid. I've just been monkeying for a 4-letter word with increasing frustration as the possible options disappeared... only to notice just now that somewhere, who knows how long ago, one of those little monkey actually had already done the trick.

5:45 pm

Vicuna

Happy Birthday, BzznBea.

5:45 pm

Atalante

I hate that

5:46 pm

jacq

lol

5:46 pm

5:49 pm

Atalante

*count!!

5:49 pm

BzznBea

I'll make him wait while I get dressed after he tells me he's ready to go. =)

5:50 pm

Vicuna

Of course it counts. It's just a different game.

5:50 pm

danf63

thata girl, Bea

5:50 pm

Atalante

true

5:51 pm

danf63

brb...courier here

5:51 pm

Vicuna

It's a game for people who have other things to do on occasion!

5:51 pm

redturtlehead

i thought the courier already came...

5:52 pm

redturtlehead

yay ata!!!! i still have 44 left!

5:52 pm

Vicuna

Couriers come all the time for danf. All day every day.

5:52 pm

Atalante

orhave to go to bed at some point!

5:52 pm

Vicuna

Exactly.

5:53 pm

Vicuna

I am the voice of reason, here. It's only fun until it stops being fun, and then it is wholly reasonably and honorable to do whatever it takes to keep it fun.

5:54 pm

Atalante

true, but finishing without the list is more fun for me! the list just means I type in words one after the other, and don't have the fun of finding them

5:54 pm

redturtlehead

i'm still looking....42 left i am dense,

5:55 pm

Vicuna

Yes, but do you get more satisfaction from ploughing through with the list or from leaving unfinished? because when time runs out, those are the only options.

5:56 pm

Atalante

usually, leaving it unfinished. because then I know I've done the best I could on my own. But, sometimes, I just list it :D

5:56 pm

Vicuna

I always go without the list, and if I finish, great satisfaction. But when it's dinner time and I'm not done yet I get the list and plough. Because I prefer that to leaving unfinished.

5:56 pm

redturtlehead

I usually leave it undone when I run out of words, but today I decided to complete, but still struggling with list.

5:57 pm

nancethefan

bye y'all - good luck poof

5:57 pm

Atalante

its just what you find most fulfilling!

5:57 pm

Vicuna

I mean, it's a game! So everyone makes their own rules of engagement. As long as you're not inconveniencing others, it's all good.

5:58 pm

Atalante

in a way, I think it's a shame there are rankings

5:58 pm

missbeeze

nance - i got them!

5:58 pm

missbeeze

oh she left ;(

5:58 pm

Vicuna

The rankings are pretty meaningless. I think most people don't pay an awful lot of attention to them anyway. But maybe I'm wrong about that.

5:59 pm

redturtlehead

yes the rankings....I just dont look anymore. I used to care, but I am a competitive soul at heart.

5:59 pm

Atalante

a good number of people do, and I think that's a shame (personally). It shouldn't be about meaningless rankings!

6:00 pm

redturtlehead

I do find though if I push myself to finish I learn some new words and stuff...

6:00 pm

Vicuna

Oh well, if people care, let them care! It doesn't do me any harm to have them try to be better than me!

6:00 pm

redturtlehead

but I can't usually use the words in normal conversation...

6:00 pm

Atalante

lol true

6:00 pm

Vicuna

(Not too terribly difficult to do better than me, either, for that matter.)

6:00 pm

Atalante

but its always fun to try, red!

6:01 pm

redturtlehead

It is fun Atalante!!!

6:01 pm

Atalante

try to use them, I mean!

6:01 pm

Vicuna

You could work that in6 word in somewhere, I'm sure!

6:01 pm

redturtlehead

yes, thats what I meant!

6:01 pm

redturtlehead

I still have not found the rabbit In.... I am totally lost on that.

6:01 pm

Atalante

i was wondering about how to use that one

6:01 pm

jacq

me too

6:02 pm

Vicuna

Or the sn4 might be a nice one to use.

6:03 pm

Atalante

in + co4/7

6:04 pm

Vicuna

an5/12 is a possibility...

6:05 pm

redturtlehead

oh yes, I think I wont work that in to conversation.

6:05 pm

Atalante

ans ma6/27

6:05 pm

redturtlehead

One of my Docs surprised me by using Perseverate, correctly in a sentance a few weeks ago. I think he was even more surprised because I answered the perseveration question without a dictionary lesson.

6:06 pm

Vicuna

ha5/14 perhaps...

6:07 pm

redturtlehead

39 left.

6:08 pm

Vicuna

la6... What I really need to do, apparently, is just do a lot more talking, so I have more opportunities for all these fabulous words.

6:09 pm

redturtlehead

there you go Vi! Maybe get you a talk show gig.

6:10 pm

KnightTime

after a quick sn4/6 with my honey under the mantle supported by burnished an5,12s, I returned to my ma6,27 to ha5,14 my spirits.

6:10 pm

Vicuna

"Ah4, were you aware that most ly7 felines are characterized by a la6/18 tuft upon each ear?"

6:11 pm

Vicuna

KnightTime arriving in the nick of time! He's the one for the job of using all our words!

6:11 pm

KnightTime

just watching the chog and decided to add my two cents worth

6:11 pm

Vicuna

=D

6:13 pm

Vicuna

Do you have a po4/7 at your ma6/27?

6:13 pm

Vicuna

Or an og4 on your an5?

6:13 pm

Atalante

do you get any ye4 in the oc5?

6:14 pm

Vicuna

Of course not, silly Ata! Unless they are in ca6/21.

6:14 pm

KnightTime

sorry my po 4/5 are not working correctly

6:15 pm

Atalante

do you think I can persuade my husband that gastroenteritis is contagious?

6:15 pm

Atalante

well they might be!

6:15 pm

Vicuna

Poor gullible Mr Ata.

6:16 pm

redturtlehead

SOmetimes it can be...

6:16 pm

KnightTime

You can't do that, I ca5,12

6:16 pm

Atalante

he has a stomach ache and the annoying dr told him it was probably gastroenteritis

6:17 pm

Vicuna

Whena ye4 ye5, is the baby la6?

6:17 pm

redturtlehead

Does it need to be contagious for what reason ata?

6:18 pm

Atalante

well if it could be contagious, I can have a reason to sleep in the spare room and thus get some proper sleep! (he snores)

6:19 pm

jacq

i have to go

6:19 pm

Vicuna

Goodbye, jacq.

6:20 pm

redturtlehead

Some types of irritated tummies are contagious, but...not usually from sleeping next to someone...

6:20 pm

redturtlehead

Is he over his flea and sheet obsession ?? (That was him wasn't it?

6:21 pm

Vicuna

I guess I'm off, too. Ata, good luck with your schemes!
Goodbye, all!

6:22 pm

Atalante

missbeeze

yes what is it?

8:09 pm

evanonut

chronic non finishers anon

8:09 pm

herinfernallady

Nut i love when they get all jealous. They need to allow polygamy. It bugs me that a peck on the check is considered cheating.

8:09 pm

lbdawger

lol

8:10 pm

evanonut

i likes to make the boys give each other back rubs too, looks so silly

8:11 pm

AprilD

I prefer polyamory over polygamy but I like equality that way.

8:11 pm

herinfernallady

It does Nut. Have you seen um red rooster?

8:11 pm

missbeeze

crazy nutty! i don't have a chronic non fishing problem

8:12 pm

evanonut

i don't have a non fishing problem either, i think fishing is cruel

8:12 pm

herinfernallady

Sorry name is rwrong

8:12 pm

evanonut

red rocket?

8:12 pm

herinfernallady

No let me find it

8:13 pm

AprilD

I'm actually impressed you know what it is herin

8:13 pm

missbeeze

well i'm not a fisherwoman, but i don't guess i have strong opinions about fishing, although, when i was young i was adamant about my father never fishing with minnows and i secretly freed them every chance i got

8:13 pm

evanonut

i dunno, i think i'd get jealous in polyamory

8:14 pm

AprilD

jealousy is normal and happens in monogamy too.

8:14 pm

herinfernallady

April i called a shoe store platypus the other day and I knew what i meant.

8:14 pm

evanonut

yeah, but in monogomy, the jealousy is in thought only

8:14 pm

AprilD

:) as long as you do herin!

8:15 pm

AprilD

thought only?

8:15 pm

missbeeze

goodnight all!

8:15 pm

evanonut

if it is in more than thought, is it really monogamy?

8:15 pm

missbeeze

*bling*

8:15 pm

lbdawger

night, missbeeze

8:16 pm

herinfernallady

http://sh.roosterteeth.com/archive/ This is Sims 2 videos dang funny. Also has Halo videos.

8:16 pm

AprilD

jealousy?

8:16 pm

herinfernallady

I don't know if that went through the first time

8:16 pm

lbdawger

wouldn't that be infidelity?

8:16 pm

AprilD

jealousy happens regardless of relationship dymamic, in my experience

8:17 pm

evanonut

yes, but monogamy, one is jealous of lustful thoughts, in polyamory, one would be jealous of more than just thoughts

8:17 pm

AprilD

jealousy doesn't have anything to do with how many partners you have. It is a complex emotion made up of several emotions and people get jealous for all sorts of reasons.

8:18 pm

periwinkle

ta da, fireworks

8:18 pm

herinfernallady

Evan: http://sh.roosterteeth.com/archive/ This is a crack up

periwinkle

thanks and bye

8:18 pm

AprilD

yay peri

8:18 pm

evanonut

all i know is i was never jealous of wandering thoughts, but in a triangle i might get insecure about my place, its a different situation is all

8:19 pm

herinfernallady

Hi APril too

8:19 pm

AprilD

hi herin!

8:19 pm

herinfernallady

My friend said 'The world is an Art Gallery doesn't mean i can't look but not allowed to touch

8:19 pm

AprilD

evan, polyamory isn't just a 'triangle'. Therare many different relationship dynamics within it.

8:20 pm

AprilD

Yes, I am polyamorous.

8:20 pm

AprilD

and it isn't for everyone, just like monogamy isn't.

8:20 pm

Gadget

holy crap - 10 A's on the bottom left? Any clues?

8:20 pm

herinfernallady

My brain is swimming with the speed of the chat

8:21 pm

evanonut

way too complicated for me april, but i certainly don't judge against it

8:22 pm

AprilD

evan, that is all I ask for! if we let people live and love the way they want (assuming it is all consentual and ethical) then what a fantastic world this would be.

8:22 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Gadget

8:22 pm

Gadget

hullo

8:22 pm

AprilD

gadget, I have 5 of them...

8:22 pm

evanonut

probably i am much more open than i was ten years ago...and i certainly never knew that term before the savage love podcast

8:23 pm

AprilD

Dan Savage?

8:24 pm

evanonut

yep, he does a good podcast

8:25 pm

AprilD

I've heard some decent stuff about him on some poly Live Journal communities.

8:26 pm

evanonut

you should subscribe

8:26 pm

evanonut

i should see if he has a promo to put in babblecast

8:27 pm

AprilD

I might, thanks

8:27 pm

herinfernallady

Sory Random Question but does anyone have any experiance with Amazon Uk and its difficulty in using it?

8:28 pm

evanonut

sorry, i'm not a uk-er

8:29 pm

AprilD

not I, sorry

8:30 pm

herinfernallady

AMazon states is amazingly stupidly easy to use the UK not so

8:31 pm

herinfernallady

SIgh stupid website

8:33 pm

herinfernallady

goes back to the states. Sorry to kill the conversation

8:33 pm

AprilD

you didn't herin, it went along on its own

8:34 pm

herinfernallady

Ok i am having such a hard time trying to work out these websites

8:35 pm

herinfernallady

I think i am having the stupid today

8:36 pm

AprilD

are you trying to order a book?

8:38 pm

herinfernallady

Im trying to find a cheaper way to buy Harry potter books 1-7 its currently $200 Aus for the 7 books hard back. I is hurting my head using the UK Amazon

8:38 pm

AprilD

wow $200!

8:40 pm

herinfernallady

yep.

8:40 pm

herinfernallady

Hard back in the stores because the american h.p has awesome covers but the language is different and bits are missing

8:42 pm

AprilD

really? missing and differet language? why?

8:44 pm

herinfernallady

Firstly its the Philosophers Stone not Sorcerers Stone. The first book is missing some bits as the language wouldn't translate

8:46 pm

herinfernallady

APril our Aus dollar is nearly equal with the US so i wanted to take advantage of it

8:46 pm

AprilD

makes sense

8:53 pm

arleneehm

herinfernallady - try amazon.ca the adult box set is currently set at 141.03 CAD

8:53 pm

arleneehm

and the shipping rates page is http://www.amazon.ca/gp/help/customer/
display.html?ie=UTF8&nodeId=924314

8:53 pm

arleneehm

and it should be the british version of the storyline

8:58 pm

arleneehm

night all

8:58 pm

lbdawger

HP had to be "Americanized" to get the story across. A lot of Brit slang doesn't translate well. When we say piss off, we mean urinate. the brits mean get drunk.

8:59 pm

lbdawger

Hi and bye Arlene!

8:59 pm

lbdawger

well i guess we also mean to get really mad (re: piss off)

9:18 pm

DR1965

They LOVE to bother people with mezuzahs

9:18 pm

arleneehm

9:18 pm

herinfernallady

Wow, Malaysia... I'm happy when I get the 10 miles into NYC... LOL!

10:55 pm

jillibus

which part of malaysia, natts?

10:56 pm

LadyNatts

It was! ... At first we thought to surprise them by not telling them we were coming... then, at the last minute (like a couple of days ahead) we decided it wouldn't be good if his mom had a faint (or heart attack) in the train station, where we were going to meet them.

10:56 pm

BzznBea

MOM? Did you get the Y clues/

10:56 pm

jillibus

btw, I have 73 to go -- obviously no interest in finishing -- no time...

10:56 pm

mom2han8

Yes... thanks!

10:57 pm

LadyNatts

We met them in Kuala Lumpur, where our plane landed (lost luggage notwithstanding). We landed the night before they arrived by train... We were all to attend an "engagement" ceremony for one of his cousins' kids.

10:58 pm

BzznBea

If no one else needs clues, I'm over and out.

10:58 pm

hshliz

nite bzz

10:58 pm

Bzz.. I still have 55... so no way I am finishing.. go to bed without guilt... LOL!

10:58 pm

LadyNatts

But alas, the bride-to-be came upon her monthlies, and couldn't go to the temple, so the ceremony was cancelled

10:59 pm

scribekd

how about a clue for the an5/12-the second one, please?

10:59 pm

mom2han8

Lady... you must be kidding, LOL!

10:59 pm

mom2han8

scribe... think Japanese animation.

11:00 pm

LadyNatts

not kidding... if a woman is "dirty" she cannot enter the temple

11:00 pm

jillibus

rather poor planning, natts!

11:00 pm

mom2han8

Talk about antiquated! So what do they do??? Change their wedding day??? You would think she would have used a calendar to begin with, LOL!

11:00 pm

jillibus

acchhh, "dirty" customs

11:01 pm

LadyNatts

it all worked out in the end, jilli... (common law) hubby and I were married in a temple this vacation1

11:01 pm

mom2han8

I know I did!!!!

11:01 pm

jillibus

I planned mid-cycle

11:01 pm

mom2han8

WEll, congrats to you guys, anyway!

11:01 pm

LadyNatts

LOLOL

11:02 pm

jillibus

natts, I guess your hubby is Malaysian?

11:02 pm

mom2han8

jili.. I'm with you... I figured it out from the get go.. no way I wasn't getting any on my expensive cruise honeymoon!

11:02 pm

LadyNatts

maybe she doesn't really want to marry him... there are still arranged marriages, you know

11:03 pm

mom2han8

Just seems like a lot of trouble for nothing, regardless of how she feels about marrying him, LOL! Although kudos to her if she really did it for that reason!

11:03 pm

jillibus

oy vay -- arranged marriages, "honour" killings, barbarism...

11:03 pm

LadyNatts

but anyway... hubby's first marriage (when he was 20 - he's now 52)... his mother wouldn't agree to a marriage in the temple.

11:03 pm

mom2han8

jili... too funny!

11:04 pm

jillibus

funny? Sad, I think

11:04 pm

LadyNatts

yes, sad.... oh, I can't keep up with all I want to share with you!

11:04 pm

jillibus

um, depernding on the context, mom2

11:04 pm

mom2han8

Jili... I was more applauding your wit then sympathinzing with the crazy rituals!

11:05 pm

jillibus

ok, mom2 -- thanks -- things get mixed up here!

11:05 pm

mom2han8

I agree that it is very sad on so many levels... cannot even believe the crap that still continues in the name of religion or tradition in many countries in the 21st century!

11:06 pm

LadyNatts

In answer to your question, Jilli.... my husband was born in Malaysia, but he is of Indian descent.

11:06 pm

mom2han8

Even here in this country you probably only need to visit the Ozarks to find the same antiquated rituals... and we won't even discuss Texas, LOL!

11:06 pm

jillibus

I keep making comparisons with Jane Goodall's observations of the chimps

11:07 pm

mom2han8

And I am sure the great Ms. Goodall would make her own comparisons of Tanzanians... though I have always longed to go there and see her!!!

11:07 pm

jillibus

natts, as I was born in China but of Scottish/English descent, lol!

11:07 pm

hshliz

I live in a predominantly Italian town. There's a lot of "old world" Italians here, and arranged marriages still happen here.

11:08 pm

mom2han8

Jili... that is certainly interesting!!!

11:08 pm

mom2han8

OK.. hsh.. I have to know from where you hail?

11:08 pm

LadyNatts

Yes, and he was sent to Britain at age 10... He's what HE terms "a potato" ... brown skin.. white inside.

11:09 pm

jillibus

LOL, natts!

11:09 pm

11:09 pm

LadyNatts

He's more of a redneck Albertan than I am!

11:09 pm

mom2han8

Lady... I actually have a pretty good friend who feels the same way... born in England of Indian descent, came here when he was very young... identifies more with whites than with those of Indian descent...

11:09 pm

mom2han8

Really hsh... how interesting.

11:09 pm

mom2han8

Lady, that's funny!

11:10 pm

India is a special case -- Brit influence for what -- 600 years?

11:10 pm

LadyNatts

there you go, mom2han8... that's how my hubby is

11:10 pm

mom2han8

Arranged marriages in upstate NY??? Where in upstate NY? Very far north?? I am a frustrated anthropologist.. have a degree in history!

11:11 pm

LadyNatts

at least, jilli... hubby's sister lives in India... it was interesting visiting with her this holiday

11:11 pm

mom2han8

scribe. .. how about the other an 5/12 change the last vowel???

11:11 pm

hshliz

when I first moved here, 30 years ago, there was no one in town who wasn't lily white. Threw me for a loop coming from a large midwest town

11:12 pm

jillibus

YAY scribekid!!!

11:13 pm

mom2han8

I grew up in a very integrated town and then moved to a couple not so integrated and it felt very strange... kind of like culture shock.

11:13 pm

hshliz

made me think we'd moved into the twilight zone. Funny since Rod Serling hails from the area too

11:13 pm

mom2han8

hsh... I wish I knew where that was... LOL!

The patriarch of the family (in Gary) was Castros doctor at one time. He didn't like the way Cuba was going, so he lied and moved the whole family to the states claiming he had a "sick mother" in Florida

11:20 pm

LadyNatts

I remember when the first (and only) black family moved into our neighbourhood. But it didn't strike me as odd or unusual... my dad was a great fan of Sidney Poitier (or however you spell it) and I just liked the little kid's name...Sidney.

11:21 pm

hsh... ahhh... the "burned over district"... charles grandison finney and that ilk.... yes, very italian. Shoe factories were their mainstay for much of the 19th century!

I don't remember ever living where there weren't lots of people of many races... until I moved to the Pacific Northwest and the races were "swedes, norwegians, anglos and everyone else" (slight exaggeration, but really mostly descendents of vikings)

11:21 pm

MLFAN17

Scratch that AC word.. clue for the AM 7 please

11:21 pm

hshliz

We still don't have a very large population of black or hispanic folks here.

11:21 pm

Jacula

I was just looking at the conversation from earlier, about when you first saw someone with a differently coloured skin to your own. I recently had to check back on old school photos, since I met a friend from infant school recently. There were just two black people in our entire village school and they were sisters who had a Welsh father and a Jamaican mother.

11:21 pm

mom2han8

hsh... ahhh... the "burned over district"... charles grandison finney and that ilk.... yes, very italian. Shoe factories were their mainstay for much of the 19th century!

11:22 pm

To be honest, in 1961, we children really didn't think it any big deal. They were just other kids.

11:22 pm

LadyNatts

yay stidmama!

11:22 pm

jillibus

stid, you're amazing

11:22 pm

mom2han8

And, like I said, my experience was the opposite... the town I grew up in was "cutting edge" in many ways, but then I moved to a neighboring county and it was like culture shock because everyone was white.

11:23 pm

mom2han8

I used to play with Branford and Wynton marsalis as a kid!

11:23 pm

stidmama

I didn't get to halfway since I got here just now, Jill! *worried look* I was on earlier, pretending I had neither children nor a house that needed tending!

11:23 pm

hshliz

Unfortunatly, I was in Gary during the race riots in the 60's.

11:23 pm

MLFAN17

anybody have a clue for the AM 7???

11:23 pm

LadyNatts

I am not going to make it... 36 or 48 hours with nothing but naps...I am a basket case and I need to go to sleep and switch my time clock.

11:23 pm

mom2han8

I'm about as white as they come but never really saw color until someone pointed it out to me when I was a pre-teen, LOL!

11:23 pm

Jacula

My Great Grandmother (born 1880) on the other hand, had by the late 60s, begun to look out of her front window and worry about 'all these Darkies'. She feared she'd be robbed and worse in her bed.

11:24 pm

stidmama

oh LadyN! *offers warm cuddly blankey*

11:24 pm

hshliz

Totally understand the lack of sleep thing.

11:24 pm

MLFAN17

Are you okay Natts???

11:24 pm

LadyNatts

thankyou so much, stidmama

11:25 pm

jillibus

good, jac. When I was 8 it was 1935 and things were different in the USA, and in China we Didn't Mix. The feeling was mutual, I think -- although my father worked for the Chinese Postal Bank and there was mutual respect, he was never invited to a Chinese home, and vice versa. But here were numerous banquests and invitations to Chinese Operas (which bored him rigid for 3 hours or so)

11:25 pm

hshliz

I can remember some pretty racial comments at home. Funny how the Cuban neighbors felt the same way us whiteys did

11:25 pm

mom2han8

I'm still pretty color blind and so is my kid, God love her! It really is how it should be!

11:25 pm

LadyNatts

just came back from a trip, MLF... jet lag is likely to set in, though I've tried to set my body clock back to home.

11:26 pm

I just lost my Dad. Sleep has been at a premium here

11:26 pm

mom2han8

hsh... my best friend's husband is cuban... I have to laugh because they are so prejudiced against dominicans, puerto ricans, etc... always strikes me as odd!

11:26 pm

MLFAN17

Natts ohhh i have had my share fo those they arent fun it should only be a few days for you to be back at your own time. Just stick to what time it is where you live not where you were

11:26 pm

stidmama

oh liz... *sad face* I am so sorry.

11:26 pm

LadyNatts

Oh dear. ... hshliz... I am so sorry. Are you okay?

11:26 pm

mom2han8

hsh... sorry to hear that.

11:27 pm

Hsh - I lost my Dad a few years ago and still can't sleep sometimes. *hugs*

11:27 pm

I don't care about colour at all now -- had a great pal years ago and as we chatted one summer day in the garden I admired her tan and them remembered she had it all year round -- big giggle for both of us

11:28 pm

11:28 pm

MLFAN17

stid do yo uhave the AM7???

11:29 pm

Jacula

Why can't people just see people? That's a song by Striesand, isn't it? LOL

11:29 pm

mom2han8

jac... I'm with you. It's so stupid. Also, gender on gender makes me crazy... yeah, let's not elect Hilary because she is a woman... and mainly women feel that way. Drives me nuts!

11:29 pm

LadyNatts

happy belated birthday, mom2!!!

11:29 pm

stidmama

yes Jacula, I do think it has to do with that, and with a mentality of "scarcity" -- if we let "them" have some, will there be enough for "us"

11:29 pm

stidmama

no MLF, and still listless but down to 73

11:29 pm

jillibus

IMHO one of the most significant songs ever comes from South Pacific -- "You've got to be taught to hate and fear..." Google the words if you don't know them

11:29 pm

mom2han8

ty lady.

11:29 pm

MLFAN17

aww sorry stid but ty

11:29 pm

stidmama

I agree, Jill. That is a powerful song.

11:29 pm

mom2han8

jili... know the song.. it's great!

11:30 pm

LadyNatts

South Pacific is one of the many musicals I was weaned on

11:30 pm

mom2han8

REally, I will just never understand all the nonsense. Get to know people for who they are and move along if you don't like them!

11:30 pm

hshliz

absolutely

11:30 pm

stidmama

I think "anxt" should count. It's how you say what my te4s feel, much more logical than angst.

11:31 pm

mom2han8

But my father was my role model in this, as he did not even tolerate ethnic jokes in the house back in the 60s!!!

11:31 pm

LadyNatts

exactly, mom2

11:31 pm

mom2han8

stid... sorry, but text abbreviations just don't count!!! LOL.

11:31 pm

LadyNatts

lol stidmama... you have a point there

11:31 pm

I just found AN 7/32: plural critter word

GREAT pic, stid! Mr flosey is a wonderful teacher with a LOT to teach

11:40 pm

stidmama

LOL but he seemed to demonstrate (in the pics) how to be a perfectly silly person.

11:40 pm

Jacula

Lovely to see you all getting together. Babble rocks!

11:41 pm

stidmama

it surely does, Jac!

11:41 pm

jillibus

put the silly one up, stid!

11:41 pm

Jacula

stid - is perfectly silly person a euphemism for 'prat'? LOL

11:41 pm

shdybr8

miss you guys, wish I could put in an edu pic for tomorrow, but I'm sure someone has all the funny test answers?

11:41 pm

Jacula

Incidentally, stid, I can't enlarge the pic so it's not a real comment.

11:42 pm

stidmama

oh no, Jacula! He is a truly wonderful man! Just -- well let's say putting him and this kid in the same country is like getting Sammy Davis Junior and Danny Kaye on stage and asking them to be silly...

11:42 pm

mom2han8

OK.. I am officially lost with this conversation, LOL!

11:43 pm

Jacula

You are not the first and you won't be the last, mon2.

11:43 pm

stidmama

Jac, I have a few pics up at the website, but haven't loaded most of them to anything else yet. Have been a bit overwhelmed since I got back. Tomorrow I hope to actually spend some ti4 in the garden...

11:43 pm

stidmama

shady, that is a very funny icon...

11:43 pm

Jacula

Which website, stid?

11:44 pm

shdybr8

ty, stid, can't take credit for it, but love it

11:44 pm

Jacula

It IS a good icon, shdy. LOL

11:44 pm

stidmama

oh and btw shady, this math class has reminded me how much I really enjoy the challenge. It's tough, but good for me. I am going to do a presentation about probability, as one might present it in the upper elementary grades!

11:45 pm

stidmama

stidmama.com (of course) *wink*

11:45 pm

shdybr8

it's great to "see" you guys, if only for a moment

11:45 pm

Jacula

I remember when I first got on the internet and someone sent me an e mail with LOL at the end of every sentence. Since she had a bro-in-law named Lol (short for Lawrence) I was totally confused.

11:45 pm

shdybr8

how wonderful, stid! I love probability (of course), and also challenges

11:45 pm

cybernan

good evening, all :)

11:46 pm

stidmama

oh that is silly Jac!

11:46 pm

stidmama

11:46 pm

stidmama

hello nan!

11:46 pm

shdybr8

hi nan

11:46 pm

shdybr8

teaching for the summer, should have gone to bed around 9 (oops)

11:47 pm

stidmama

oh gee. guess you missed that deadline! LOL

11:47 pm

Jacula

It was silly, stid. She was using LOL as a punctuation mark, I think.

11:47 pm

shdybr8

just a bit, but maybe not significantly so?

11:47 pm

jillibus

here's my "education" icon, if you refresh.

11:47 pm

MLFAN17

Last CA 5/12 clue please

11:47 pm

stidmama

I think a lot of people do that. also some overuse imho. PERSONALLY speaking, MY opinion is NEVER humble. Just right.

11:48 pm

jillibus

LOL stid, heh heh

11:48 pm

stidmama

perfect icon, Jill!

11:48 pm

Jacula

Stop SHOUTING stid. LOL

11:48 pm

MLFAN17

11:49 pm

mom2han8

OK.. I figured out if I roll over your icons I can get your info... I'm still kinda new to babble... LOL!

11:49 pm

shdybr8

ok, you guys gonna be here after flip? I'll go find ed icon and make "the change" (i've had the same maxine for months)

11:49 pm

mom2han8

I guess I will have to put something up when I have the time to figure out how!

11:49 pm

stidmama

I might be here. Just realized the ti4!

11:49 pm

mom2han8

I like "Maxine"

11:49 pm

Jacula

Last ca5/12 = tin + ** what? (Like an arrogant te4 might say.)

11:49 pm

jillibus

I have it, mlf!!! ca5/12 -- I AM able, therefore...

11:50 pm

mom2han8

NO work for me tomorrow, but have to get my kid to swim practice and see my MIL in nursing home, so no rest for the weary... Might stay for flip, do the easy ones and see what happens!

11:50 pm

stidmama

sounds like a plan, mom.

11:50 pm

stidmama

I am down to 59 and stalled. Oh well.

11:50 pm

jillibus

11:51 pm

stidmama

11:51 pm

mom2han8

this is my relaxation, believe it or not!

11:51 pm

Jacula

Nursing home visits can be draining, one way or another. xx

11:51 pm

MLFAN17

stid i have 92 found am trying ot get a bit further if thats possible lol

11:51 pm

mom2han8

Actually I am a Jackie, so whenever I see Jac I think someone is talking to me, but then I realize that no one knows my real name... LOL!

11:52 pm

jillibus

mlf, you should say jac and jill

11:52 pm

Jacula

MLF - ca5/12 (last) tinned food is in a ca*

11:52 pm

jillibus

jac is a jacquie

11:52 pm

stidmama

but we know your real na4 now, mom... *wicked laugh*

11:52 pm

mom2han8

Jac... she is in a really good place.. rated best in NJ... and it is in the town I live in, so better than most visits I would think!

11:52 pm

shdybr8

just checking, might be fastest icon fix i've ever managed

11:53 pm

shdybr8

nope

11:53 pm

Jacula

LOL, jilli. Ready to go up the hill now? Hope I don't fall.

11:53 pm

stidmama

ooh! ooh! I KNOW THIS one. More importantly, I know the why and the history behind it!!! *jumping up and down*

11:53 pm

jillibus

but you're being so good to your MIL, mom2 -- she must prize you

11:53 pm

jillibus

I think there's more to that rhyme, jac...

11:54 pm

stidmama

stidkid says, "Hello Jill!"

11:54 pm

Jacula

Stid - spill, before you burst.

11:54 pm

mom2han8

jili.. I like that spelling.. I am a Jacqueline and the only other spelling I would ever have considered would have been jacquie... as it is not affected... Jackie is AOK with me, though.

11:54 pm

jillibus

go on, stid...

11:54 pm

stidmama

he's about to toddle off to beddy bye, since he must be up at 7 to get to rehearsal.

11:54 pm

shdybr8

Yayyyy, got an edu icon (so proud of self)

11:54 pm

Jacula

Mom - that's my name, too.

11:55 pm

mom2han8

jili... she is a really good person and deserves the best. I cannot imagine for a minute treating her any differently then I would treat my own mother.

11:55 pm

stidmama

it's the pythagorean magic triangle. It was the "perfect" triangle because a square built on each side yielded a big square that was the same size as the two little squares added up.

11:55 pm

jillibus

EXcellent, shdy!!! ROFL!

11:56 pm

stidmama

*kid is enjoying the chat*

11:56 pm

tygerbryght

hey, peeps

11:56 pm

stidmama

hey tyger

11:56 pm

mom2han8

Jac... great name... are you in your 40s??? Many of us were named after Jackie Kennedy. Personally I have always really liked my name. Different, but not weird. My daughter's name is Hannah for the same reason... different, but not weird.

11:56 pm

shdybr8

jilli, google "elephant in the way" it's much funnier but had too much detail for an icon

11:56 pm

tygerbryght

hey, stid

11:56 pm

jillibus

which kid, stid?

11:56 pm

tygerbryght

I'm gusdusted :(

11:56 pm

Jacula

Lies on vack waving legs in the air, which is wha she has done forever, when people get gleed up over maths. She's a word girl.

11:56 pm

Jacula

*back not vack

11:57 pm

jillibus

hi tyger :)

11:57 pm

tygerbryght

2 nites running I've tried to do the grids. I might have managed it tonite, except a transformer blew @ 8:30pm, and had no power for 90 mins

11:57 pm

tygerbryght

hey, jilli

11:57 pm

jillibus

brb (googling elephant)

11:57 pm

shdybr8

hi tyger

11:57 pm

Jacula

Mom - no, I'm 51 and I wasn't named after Jacqueline Bouvier.

11:57 pm

tygerbryght

hey, shady

11:58 pm

mom2han8

God bless ya for being a math maven... I am an idiot savant when it comes to adding, subtracting, multiplying, and divising, but anything higher than that and I am lost...e xcept for algebra, which I love, because it is more of a language (feel the same about chemistry)... but I don't even know what trigonometry or calculus are... LOL! My degree is in history and I minored in English!

11:58 pm

Jacula

an elephant is a type of pachyderm, but why are you Googling it, jilli?

11:58 pm

tygerbryght

I gave up 8 mins ago, with 15 words to go :( grumble, mumble, whinge

11:59 pm

mom2han8

Jac... actually neither was I ... I was named for an uncle Jack, but it was a cool name to have in the 60s! Also, my family is mostly irish, but the other dominant nationality is french.

11:59 pm

shdybr8

but, mom, higher math just combines those, with some more rules

11:59 pm

stidmama

I am a humanities person also... but enjoy playing with some types of math. Like stats... it's the younger kid who has now kissed me and gone to sleep.

11:59 pm

tygerbryght

I LOVED math when I was a teen, was fascinated with theory of numbers

11:59 pm

jillibus

jac, see shdy at 11:56

11:59 pm

mom2han8

shdy... if you say so, LOL!

11:59 pm

Jacula

I was also named partly for an Uncle Jack and partly because my parents like the name.

11:59 pm

stidmama

well, I got down to 56... not too bad for listless and tired. ;-)

12:00 am

mom2han8

Love language, personally.
