2:39 am

2:39 am

FMitch

2:39 am

sprite

2:39 am

jillibus

well, it must have the Js all confused

2:40 am

sprite

4:25 am

movieman

Some parents in Britain have been complaining though about the certificate it has been given (12A), saying that certain scenes are too gruesome

4:26 am

sprite

to the dark knight :)
Oh movie, it plays on Imax! Worth it?

4:26 am

sprite

in the netherlands it is 16+ and they are actually checking.

4:26 am

movieman

I agree, it should have been a 15 over here

4:27 am

elder

I have not seen the film, but if scenes are violent perhaps it should be rated higher.

4:27 am

sprite

movie, is it worth seeing on IMAX?

4:28 am

elder

at 12 children could go on their own, and sadly i know of parent who would allow this .

4:28 am

movieman

Probably, I wish I could, but my nearest IMAX is in London......*sigh*

4:29 am

sprite

4:46 am

5:45 am

elder

can you imagine .. buying tickets that are worthless.. how can they get it so wrong !!

5:46 am

mrpresident

and one family lost $60,000. How horrid! That is alot of money to lose!

5:47 am

mrpresident

elder, people are disgusting! To design and set up a professional scam in so many places on the net is evil. A lot of families of olympiads are the ones who lost out. They are now desperately trying to get seats to see their kids play but can't

5:48 am

elder

Police should be able to find the culprit and bury them deep !! as money has to be sent to someone/location .

5:48 am

mrpresident

problem is, they have packed up and taken the money and are long gone now

5:49 am

elder

tragic for those who have lost so much money...

5:49 am

wildflower38

60,000!!!! A vacation of a lifetime down the drain

5:50 am

elder

It amazes me that people can do that sort of crime, without any conscious thought for the distress they cause.

5:50 am

wildflower38

It amazes me too elder

5:51 am

mrpresident

in many many countries, the athletes get themselves to the events, have to pay alot of money for training etc before being selected... it is a dream for them and then some a** comes along and does them like that.
These are not rich people... they are normal people, proud and true

5:54 am

elder

here in Britain.. athletics have none or little financial support, they and their families struggle to support their potential olympians. it makes me want to scream ! given that they are representing our country. and we waste so much money on other stuff.

5:55 am

mrpresident

here here elder

5:57 am

elder

Kids getting up the crack of dawn to train, followed by work or schooling .. its all wrong.!! aaahhhh !!

5:58 am

elder

How on earth are they suppose to compete against other athletes.

5:59 am

mrpresident

I wonder how long these a**es were operating before being found out? To scam that much money it must have been going for a long time.
I am really feeling sorry for those people. They wouldn't have known the website was fake.
aaaahhhhhh indeed elder!

6:00 am

mrpresident

elder, I love watching the olympics for that reason, the amazing will of those people to do it... that is special in a person

6:01 am

elder

Mr P, lets hope that the saying 'what goes around comes around' comes true. for these nasty criminal's.

Good morning Babble Buddies!

Back again.

8:02 am

hey scrab - how are you?

8:02 am

MonkeyGames

Good afternoon, Scrabbler.

8:02 am

Scrabbler

Hi MG--tell me how Walter is doing please.

8:02 am

Anniebrook

Hi Scrabbs!

8:02 am

EvaNadine

mornin babblers!

8:03 am

Scrabbler

I am preparing for another vacation--back to the Adirondack Mtns for 6 days, and we are going to camp in a tent for our first night.

8:03 am

Scrabbler

Hi Eva

8:03 am

kje

I am so past the tent thing...give me a bed!

8:03 am

kje

I can do it if need be, but would rather have a bed!

8:04 am

MonkeyGames

Well, the day after we last "talked"he was doing great, but by afternoon was again complaining of a sore throat. Yesterday he still had it and was less than his usual energetic self but not sownright ailing. Today therefor I decided to let him go to daycare so I don't miss more work, and tomorrow morning I will have in to the doctor right away. He was pale and had a sore throat this morning but wanted to go to daycare, and I told them to let him sit around and rest and to let him sleep in at naptime if he wants to.

8:04 am

Scrabbler

I can do it for one night. We will kayak to the camp site on the lake and set up, have dinner at the lodge, then make our own breakfast and lunch, then check into the lodge after lunch. We can do it.

8:04 am

MonkeyGames

Appetite good, drinking fine, breathing through nose, no coughing.

8:05 am

kje

I'm surprised they would let him go... here if the kid blinks they send him home!

8:05 am

MonkeyGames

Not complaining of headaches anymore, just sore throat.

8:05 am

Scrabbler

Well then, he is overall better.

8:05 am

kje

but there is a lodge nearby???? that bed is too close... I would end up in someone's bed - LOL

8:05 am

kje

just kidding, BTW

8:06 am

MonkeyGames

They allow wven kids with a simple cold, kje. But fever, diarrhea, general miserableness, or any of the rash illnesses an dthey send them home.

8:06 am

Scrabbler

That is right, kje, day care staffs send kids home for any little issue and demand that we see the kid before the kid may return.

8:06 am

kje

I do not sleep just anywhere

8:06 am

KatieMcG

afternoon everyone :-)

8:06 am

MonkeyGames

Yes he is better but it just keeps going up and down and up and down and the sore throat is too persistent. I am taking him in.

8:06 am

MonkeyGames

Things are different here I guess.

8:07 am

Scrabbler

Yes, we will be near the lodge and can retreat there if needed. They actually leave the doors open to rooms not rented out.

8:07 am

kje

my motto is "get it while you are young" cuz these diseases are much worse when older - (sorry scrab)

8:07 am

kje

now that is just too tempting scrab... an open door and an empty bed

8:07 am

MonkeyGames

I had chicken pox when I was nearly 16 and could not agree more; wish I'd had it WAY back.

8:08 am

Scrabbler

If it rains, if we are too scared (black bears), then off we go to the lodge.

8:09 am

kje

forget the rain...there are bears!?!?!? -

8:09 am

Scrabbler

Yes, although encounters with them are infrequent. We must be cautious about food at the camp site.

8:11 am

kje

you say that so rationally scrab - LOL

8:11 am

Scrabbler

MG, have you noticed if Walter is a mouthbreather when sleeping?

8:11 am

MonkeyGames

Usually he is not.

8:11 am

Scrabbler

I am a very rational, pragmatic person, that is true, LOL.

8:12 am

MonkeyGames

When he has a cold or something then he is. He also only very rarely snores (unlike, I am told, me).

8:12 am

Scrabbler

I just wondered, MG, because that could give him a sore throat.

8:13 am

kje

I do not want to go to work

8:13 am

MonkeyGames

Yeah, I thought of that. But he has been breathing through his nose again for days and days, also at night (I check on him a couple of times). I had a look with a flashlight too though, and it's pretty red back there.

8:13 am

Scrabbler

I second that, kje!

I do not like being called et al , monte - LOL : )

8:15 am

MonkeyGames

OK for a while then kind of bogs down. I can't find lots of short words.

8:15 am

Scrabbler

So far not too bad and it has many of yesterday's words.

8:15 am

MonkeyGames

Could just be me though.

8:17 am

MonkeyGames

Just when I thought all teh remaining tr words must be totally made up I see what I think is a Russian carriage! It's a word, anyway...

8:17 am

MonkeyGames

Eke-ing yourself in public is rude.

8:17 am

kje

ahhh - TY monkey

8:18 am

montreal13

well MG, my back is facing the keyboard...is that ok ?

8:19 am

MonkeyGames

I guess that'll have to do. Flexible neck you have!

8:19 am

MonkeyGames

Not to mention th etyping behind your back thing...

8:19 am

montreal13

Thanks for the good time and see you all tomorrow!

8:21 am

KatieMcG

congrats mrp

8:22 am

MonkeyGames

I didn't either... but here I am! Part of my reluctance was that my boss has been acting fairly inappropriately... but now he's out.

8:22 am

montreal13

sweet dreams mr president !

8:22 am

Scrabbler

Yahoo for you, mrp!

8:22 am

MonkeyGames

Yay Mr. P!!!!!!!!!

8:22 am

8:22 am

mrpresident

thanks all and niters ((poof))!

8:23 am

MonkeyGames

Told me to massage a client's back the other day. Rubs my shoulder a lot while talking. Loses client paperwork. We will be Having a Talk. I honestly think he might just be stoned...

8:24 am

Angelsong

Fireworks for me...

8:24 am

montreal13

yes, a talk is overdue MG...

8:24 am

Scrabbler

He certainly could be, MG.

8:24 am

Scrabbler

yahoo Angel!

8:24 am

KatieMcG

too right it is, maybe he doesn't know it's inappropriate

8:24 am

montreal13

wtg Angel !!

8:25 am

Scrabbler

hi Kitt

8:25 am

MonkeyGames

On principle I have no problem with a little weed on a workday, especially here where it's not against the law, but you have to be able to do your job approriately or it's completely out of line.

8:25 am

Anniebrook

congrats, angel

8:25 am

KatieMcG

Hiya :-)

8:25 am

KatieMcG

congrats angle

8:25 am

KatieMcG

*angel

8:25 am

Anniebrook

Hi Katie

8:25 am

KatieMcG

No wonder I am going slow on the grid today!!

8:26 am

MonkeyGames

Katie, I'm sure he sees nothing wrong, and he will respect it when I tell him to cut it out. Which will be if subtler things don't work. He has started rubbing my shoulde ra lot less since I gave him a Look.

8:26 am

montreal13

good afternnon katie !

8:26 am

MonkeyGames

But he sure can be irritating.

8:26 am

Scrabbler

My boss doesn't need drugs to act inappropriately, he has his narcissistic personality disorder to generate bad behavior.

8:27 am

KatieMcG

Mine is really nice and would never dream of acting inappropriately, mind you I do have a 'look' that could be used if necessary

8:27 am

MonkeyGames

Oh dear. Mine wants to help everyone and give everyone everything which is great, but he lives in an idealistic fantasy world where we're all best friends and nobody wants to do anybody wrong and nobody lies...

8:27 am

Scrabbler

The silent stare--so effective!

8:28 am

KatieMcG

we call it 'my mother's face' which is actually from my gran, it's been passed down through generations :-)

8:28 am

MonkeyGames

Mind you, he acts very much lik ethis when NOT stoned, but in recent days he has seemed quite a bit more, ummm, scattered and in the moment.

8:28 am

MonkeyGames

The look that I gave him about the shoulder rubbing said, Ã«xCUSE me?!

8:28 am

Scrabbler

My friend's (teachers) call it "the teacher's look."

8:29 am

MonkeyGames

This place is falling apart. Ever since the manager left with half the computer equipment, petty cash, and a client's tax money.

8:29 am

MonkeyGames

I'm doing my residency here.

8:29 am

Scrabbler

Oh my, MG.

8:29 am

KatieMcG

If things are really serious I have used both 'my mother's face' and the 'kittens behave voice', very effective but to be used sparingly

8:30 am

MonkeyGames

Just have to make it 204 more hours...

8:30 am

montreal13

even being a male, i KNOW what you gals are referring to by "THE LOOK" ...

8:30 am

nancethefan

hey & hugs y'all

8:30 am

Scrabbler

What type of residency, MG?

8:30 am

MonkeyGames

I do have the voice that makes the Great Dane go straight to her bed and pretend to be asleep...

8:30 am

KatieMcG

Oh MG keep counting down the hours it will soon pass

8:30 am

montreal13

hey nance !

8:30 am

MonkeyGames

Social Work.

8:30 am

Scrabbler

Hahaha, MG!

8:30 am

Scrabbler

Hi nance

8:30 am

KatieMcG

See if it works on the great dane it is very effective on work people.

8:31 am

nancethefan

hey scrab & mont

8:31 am

MonkeyGames

I do really like it here much of the time but things really are starting to fall apart.

8:31 am

nancethefan

hey games & katie

8:31 am

Scrabbler

It sounds like your boss needs a social worker, MG.

8:31 am

KatieMcG

Hi nance

8:32 am

MonkeyGames

Oh yes! And actually he tries to get us all (well, that's me now) to do that for him, and his job, and the shopping, and the coffee... and teh cleaning...

8:33 am

MonkeyGames

I'm the rat sinking with the ship because it'l be hard to find somewhere that will accommodate the weird hours I'll need to work after Walter starts public school in 6 weeks.

8:33 am

MonkeyGames

All the other residens booked.

8:33 am

Scrabbler

Hang in there, MG.

8:34 am

sandyloo

my boss died and left me $50,000

8:34 am

montreal13

you're almost there MG...

8:34 am

MonkeyGames

Oh yes, I'll be fine. And it's great experience at handling unpredictable situations (that's called Level C)

8:34 am

JBV

sandy! coming out of lurk mode to react to that!!!!

8:34 am

montreal13

really sandy ??

8:34 am

Scrabbler

Wow, sandy!

8:34 am

Scrabbler

Hi JBV

8:34 am

nancethefan

during my earlier years when i was a secretary, Mr. Tidball was my boss. I almost died when he showed me how he liked his pencils sharpened each morning & placed in the holder - lolhey sandy

8:35 am

JBV

good luck, monkey - unexpected good things may happen -

8:35 am

nancethefan

wow sandie

8:35 am

sandyloo

and he always acted inappropriately (lol) he was gay and lots of fun

8:35 am

joshuavorbis

sounds like the opening scene to psycho to me, sandy

8:35 am

MonkeyGames

I was alone here when the client phoned threatening suicide; I'm pretty sure me having to deal with that is illegal. But it also enabled me to write the protocol that got me a passing score in "proactive action".

8:35 am

joshuavorbis

avoid all rural motels

8:35 am

sandyloo

He was a great character

8:35 am

JBV

my son works in a small privately owned computer repair shop - came home the other day to tell me his "manager" (a kid only a few years older than he is) was embezzling funds, got fired and my son is now the manager and very happy!!

8:35 am

Scrabbler

JBV--I am almost done with the Papa Santuzzu book and don't want it to end. I love it. Any other similar books that you could reommend?

8:36 am

nancethefan

hey jbv

8:36 am

KatieMcG

a boss in one of my first jobs told me that he wanted his documents stapled in the top left hand corner when they were portrait, after a chat he realised that 1) where else would I have done it & 2) it was better not to state the bleeding obvious!!

8:36 am

MonkeyGames

Hee hee! I do already have a promise that I can go to the place in the next office if things go down here. Nice, well-run office dealing with women on a very low fixed income.

8:37 am

Anniebrook

Scrabbler, What is the name of the book you are reading? Always looking for something good to read

8:37 am

Scrabbler

Good things can happen to good people, JBV. That is an important lesson for your son--do the right thing.

8:37 am

nancethefan

lol katie

8:37 am

sandyloo

lol what a hoot josh 0- he was a doctor and instead of white coats he had every colour of the rainbow

8:37 am

MonkeyGames

BRB.

8:38 am

nancethefan

ok - i'm going in

8:38 am

JBV

glad to hear it, scrabbler, actually I have one - have to run upstairs to find the title - but my reading list is very eclectic - I'm in the middle of Anna Karenina right now -

8:38 am

Scrabbler

Annie, it is about Sicilian immigrants from the early 1900's, which parallels my grandfather's story. "In the Garden of Papa Santuzzu".

8:38 am

Scrabbler

*embarrassed to admit that I have read hardly any classic books*

8:38 am

Anniebrook

Thanks Scrabbler, I will look for it in the library and if needed, I will reserve it

8:39 am

KatieMcG

For a very light chic lit book I would recommend holly's inbox, there are two of them and very good fun. All written through emails.

8:39 am

sandyloo

I gave my sister "The Kite Runner" which is pretty heavy but has won some litary prizes

8:39 am

MonkeyGames

RB.

8:39 am

Scrabbler

JBV--when I bought the Papa Santuzzu book I also bought "Dances with Luigi."

8:39 am

JBV

is that by the same author, scrabs?

8:39 am

sandyloo

Scrabbler don't be like that - my favourite book is Jilly Cooper's "Riders"

8:39 am

Scrabbler

Nope, JBV---Paul Paolucci, I think.

8:40 am

Anniebrook

I just finished reading The Man in the White Sharkskin Suit about a Egyptian Jewish family exodus from Cairo to Paris to New York and their life's journey...fascinating

8:40 am

JBV

I've lots of classics, but always feel there's one more on my "Wish I Had Read" list - so during the summer I have more free time to catch up

8:40 am

nancethefan

i've never heard the term "chic lit" before - good phrase

8:40 am

Scrabbler

Correction: Paul Paolicelli.

8:40 am

MonkeyGames

Looks like I need all the sw5/18's except the cursing one... Any clues?

8:41 am

EspritdJean

goes along with chick flick

8:41 am

harpjane

hello

8:41 am

Uniquity

The Kite Runner is still doing really well...his newer book (1000 splendid suns) is also supposed to be great, but is only in hardcover in US and Canada so people won't buy it.

8:41 am

Scrabbler

Hi Jane

8:41 am

EspritdJean

s+smaller

8:41 am

MonkeyGames

Ooh, just found the homophone sw5.

8:41 am

JBV

Scrabs, if you liked stories of Sicilian life in the early 20th century, you may try going back another generation or two to Giovanni Verga's Little Novels of Sicily - written in 1883 but describes his own childhood much earlier

8:41 am

EspritdJean

I read 1000 spelendid suns it was very good

8:41 am

KatieMcG

exactly jean and that sums up the books. One really good author for chick lit is Jane Green

8:41 am

Scrabbler

TY, EJ

8:42 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks, Jean!

8:42 am

montreal13

who wrote Papa Santuzzu's garden - i missed that ?

8:42 am

JBV

the edition I have was translated and has an introduction by D.H. Lawrence

8:42 am

Anniebrook

one of the sw's---perspire

8:42 am

EspritdJean

I made up my own nickname for guy films

8:42 am

MonkeyGames

How'd I miss THAT? Thanks!

8:42 am

EspritdJean

since ours are chick flicks, theirs are d*** flicks

8:42 am

Uniquity

Unfortunately, chick lit has become synonymous with any easy reading.

8:42 am

Scrabbler

I have 72 books on my Amazon wish list, and it keeps growing, and I keep aging, so sometimes I get panicky about running out of time to read all the books that I want to read.

8:42 am

MonkeyGames

Is it the obvious guess, Jean?

8:43 am

MonkeyGames

Ah, I see that it is. Good one!

8:43 am

Scrabbler

Papa Santuzzu book is written by Tony Ardizzone.

8:43 am

Uniquity

Esprit! We have a small "acton/adventure" section referred to as d*** lit. :)

8:43 am

montreal13

tx scrabs

8:43 am

KatieMcG

it can be extremely good and clever work as well. I really across all genres and they are every bit as good as other books

8:43 am

harpjane

Verga wrote the story that became the libretto of the opera Cavalleria Rusticana

8:47 am

harpjane

have you all read "three cups of tea?"

8:48 am

Scrabbler

JBV--the poverty and oppression in Sicily that my GF endured--heart-breaking. He left his parents and 3 siblings behind. I still have relatives there to locate someday.

8:48 am

periwinkle

hi all, no I haven't harp, what is it about

8:48 am

Uniquity

*sometimes - but mostly alone

9:21 am

nancethefan

please do - he makes me lol - lol

9:21 am

Uniquity

Ron White and Bill Engvall are both amazing. LArry the Cable Guy and Jeff FOxworthy are irritating, IMO.

9:21 am

nancethefan

thank you for spelling bill's name for me uni

9:22 am

nancethefan

i find only larry to be irritating

9:22 am

Uniquity

I have the three blue collar comedy tours,but one of my fave's was Ron White's "You Can't Fix Stupid"

9:22 am

nancethefan

but remember - i live in north carolina - lol

9:22 am

nancethefan

mine, too. isn't he funny?

9:23 am

Uniquity

Despite the alcoholism, he is still funny as heck. I really enjoy Bill as well. Nice "cleanish" jokes.

9:23 am

nancethefan

the alcohol is probably tea don't you think?

9:24 am

sandyloo

I am freezing to death here - I have three jumpers and two trackie pants on - I need a red wine

9:24 am

Uniquity

No,it's alcohol. He's often drunk by the time he performs. More often, passed out by the end of a show. It's a big complaint people have about im, he truly is a drunk.

9:25 am

sandyloo

After the wine I will start telling jokes maybe!!

9:25 am

nancethefan

mercy - i didn't know that

9:25 am

nancethefan

sandy - where do you live - antartica?

9:26 am

nancethefan

yay - i need to laugh - open that cork - lol

9:26 am

sandyloo

Perth in West Aus but Aussies never do well in winter we design our living around the hot weather

9:27 am

nancethefan

that's right - i forget you have winter when we have summer

9:27 am

sandyloo

But I LOVE the winter and like rain etc. and don't like the hot days

9:27 am

Judi

Morning, all. Okay, Sandyloo. I'll bite. How cold is it in Perth?

9:27 am

nancethefan

hey judi

9:28 am

nancethefan

darn uni - now when i watch ron white, all i will think of is the alcohol. lol

9:28 am

sandyloo

I just looked up the temp on the weather channel and it's 5.3 degrees celcius

9:28 am

nancethefan

i thought he was like dean martin - he drank tea. didn't he?

9:29 am

Judi

Eek. That is a bit chilly.

9:29 am

nancethefan

i can't do the metric thingy - lol

9:29 am

sandyloo

it's about 40 degrees farenheit Its cold for here

9:30 am

Uniquity

I still love him...so long as he holds it together during the act and doesn't drive.

9:30 am

Judi

Ha. Neither can I. But I know zero is + to 32 celcius, so 5.3 is probably about 40-ish to us yanks.

9:30 am

sandyloo

No wonder I'm suffering incredibly (poor me poor me)

9:30 am

Judi

= to that is.

9:30 am

nancethefan

thank you sandy - metric users sure know how to calculate - lol

9:31 am

sandyloo

we never have snow or anything like that here

9:31 am

Alleyn

Really tough grid. So changed icon!

9:31 am

nancethefan

that's what i will be watching for uni - hoping he will make it through the act & have a limo take him home

9:32 am

Alleyn

Well thought I had

9:32 am

Judi

Believe me, Sandyloo, snow is vastly over - rated.

9:32 am

Uniquity

Does it go below 0 c for you sandyloo?

9:32 am

nancethefan

are those your favorite comedians alleyn?

9:32 am

nancethefan

lol judi

9:33 am

sandyloo

It can go below zero but very rarely- I have seen snow and been skiiing but I fell over lol

9:33 am

BzznBea

Hello all.

9:34 am

Uniquity

Wow. A winter where it doesn't go below 0!!! That would be amazing, to me. Anywho, must away to work. Natal day hours in Nova Scotia! Take care all.

9:34 am

sandyloo

I have seen ice on my windscreen a couple of times.

9:34 am

Judi

We used to live in upstate NY, so we knew below zero all too well. Not so bad here in the mid-atlantic. Much more to my liking.

9:35 am

nancethefan

hey bzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

9:35 am

sandyloo

Perth is noted for its meditteranean climate and its beautiful beaches. We have a very watery lifestyle in the summers. my sister has a catermaran and we got sailing and beaching a lot

9:35 am

BzznBea

How are you today, Nance?

9:36 am

sandyloo

go not got

9:36 am

nancethefan

ok bzzzzz & i hope you are

9:36 am

nancethefan

how are the sharks down there sandy?

9:37 am

BzznBea

I haven't decided. Still am not quite awake yet.

9:37 am

sandyloo

Big and bitey. one morning the people in one of our trendy coffee shops by the beach saw one of the swimmers eaten by one

9:37 am

Judi

Sounds loverly, Sandy. We are only about 90 minutes from the beach here in Delaware. However, the summer crowds are so insane, we usually stay away until after Labor Day.

9:38 am

nancethefan

o mercy

9:38 am

sandyloo

Since they have banned whaling the shark population at local beaches has increased but mostly it is pretty safe

9:39 am

Judi

No sharks here, thank goodness. Just a few harmless, happy dolphins.

9:39 am

sandyloo

Lots of dolphins here - we see them everyday in our river

9:39 am

BzznBea

Nance, I just disappeared yesterday. Grandbaby came over and I got real "busy".

9:39 am

nancethefan

did y'all have fun?

9:40 am

Judi

One day, hubby and I will make a trip across the pond to Australia. It's on our bucket list.

9:40 am

BzznBea

Yes, we had a good time. He is such a hoot.

9:40 am

BzznBea

He is actually my favorite comedian.

9:40 am

sandyloo

Perth is lovely there is no doubt-but if you ever visit Oz the East coast is more exciting and lots to see and do

9:40 am

Judi

Well, I'm off for a bit. Must check on the E-Bay item I'm waiting to win. Wish me luck!

9:41 am

nancethefan

awwwwwww

9:41 am

10:21 am

Dorens

oh lordy, now I have to go in the pb... any good food there?

10:22 am

10:22 am

Dorens

thanks sean. you are correct

10:28 am

Scrabbler

Hello again. I have a bit of time before I leave for work.

10:28 am

Book Doctor Gwen

killed the Js at last

10:28 am

SeanS

hi scrabbler

10:28 am

Book Doctor Gwen

hi there scrabbler!

10:29 am

MonkeyGames

Hi again folks. Made it home. Hey Scrabbs, want to hear what my boss did after I signed off? I sw5 I'm going to write a soap-opera style book about all this.

10:29 am

SeanS

oh, maybe you can help me, gwen... i'm still missing a J word. i have 6 J4's, 3 J5's and 1 J6

10:30 am

phaeton

7 j4's

10:30 am

Book Doctor Gwen

some of the Js are not really words 8-)

10:31 am

Book Doctor Gwen

you need another j4. lemme know if youwant another clue

10:31 am

ZsaZsa

Monkey, I want to hear what your boss did!

10:31 am

MonkeyGames

OK, here goes. First of all on the way to work I found a metal case on a pile of stuff to be hauled away (common enough here). It turned out to contain the unused remnants of a 25-th anniversary party: a pack of nice cigars, a bottle each of white and red wine, miniature whiskies, a silver box Walter will enjoy Putting Things In, etc. Way cool.

10:31 am

Scrabbler

What now, MG?

10:31 am

Book Doctor Gwen

i'm thinking you might need the j4 than rhymes with the fluid in air conditioners

10:32 am

Book Doctor Gwen

nice stuff, monkey!

10:32 am

SharonRA

well I needed it, thanks Dr

10:32 am

Scrabbler

Great find, MG!

10:33 am

Scrabbler

TY, BDG

10:33 am

MonkeyGames

I showed it to the boss. So at the end of the day we were sitting there with David the tax guy, and my boss cried out, "I know what you can do!"

10:33 am

SeanS

searching still, Gwen... thanks for the help; will let you know if i need a further clue :)

10:33 am

wildcat17

I need one more j5

10:33 am

MonkeyGames

Oops boy fell down... no, he's OK! To go on...

10:33 am

Scrabbler

Still in Florida, Doren?

10:33 am

wildcat17

have ja5 and jo5

10:34 am

Book Doctor Gwen

here's a j5: wooden prop under a roof you

10:34 am

sandyloo

jo4/13 Help please it's the last one I have 10

10:34 am

Book Doctor Gwen

oh, try this one then: jo + not peace

10:34 am

wildcat17

have that one

10:34 am

Scrabbler

TY, BDG

10:35 am

MonkeyGames

I said, "What can I do?" He said, "You can give the red wine to David!" So there I am confronted with Daviod, who thinks I was already wondering what to do with the wine or something, and I had to decide what to do.

10:35 am

Book Doctor Gwen

j4,13: j + what you say when you stub your toe + plural

10:35 am

phaeton

jo4...men have ***els when they get old

10:35 am

phaeton

add the plural letter to the end

10:35 am

wildcat17

ty gwen

10:35 am

BerniceQ

why would he say that, MG?

10:35 am

Book Doctor Gwen

monkey, is he not a wine drinker or something?

10:36 am

Book Doctor Gwen

you're welcome wildcat 8-D

10:36 am

BerniceQ

did you say you were looking to give it away?

10:36 am

MonkeyGames

You missed the earlier stuff... he's a chaotic and probably stoned idealist who has been getting weirder and weirder lately. So I decided that it's my boss who would be embarrassed and it was about time.

10:37 am

BerniceQ

that's just weird. what did you end up doing?

10:37 am

Scrabbler

I guess you have to expect the unexpected with him.

10:37 am

sandyloo

lol phaeton i'll have to give this some thought!! what do men have when they are old??

10:37 am

MonkeyGames

So I said (all this in Dutch, mind you), "To be honest, and I'm sorry to have to be so plainspoken, I find it quite impolite to tell me to give my own stuff to someone else. And for that matter telling me to give that client a massage the other day was also 1oo% inappropriate and made me very uncomfortable."

10:38 am

sandyloo

whoo hoo i have a grey box on the j's at last

10:38 am

Book Doctor Gwen

gj sandy!

10:38 am

BerniceQ

good for you

10:38 am

phaeton

sandy...long bulging cheeks!

10:38 am

MonkeyGames

Upshot is though that he apologized, but get this, he said that I need to be understanding because since the manager took off with all that stuff he has been trying to figure out how to delegate!

10:38 am

ZsaZsa

!! what did he say?!

10:39 am

sandyloo

what a hoot monkey and phaeton

10:39 am

BerniceQ

delegate your wine?

10:39 am

sandyloo

delegate it in my direction

10:39 am

ZsaZsa

lol bernice

10:39 am

MonkeyGames

Delagate massages to clients? Plus (as I pointed out) this particular client has a history of lying to me and he knows I do not like her.

10:39 am

MonkeyGames

I delegated to wine to me!

10:40 am

MonkeyGames

I did give David teh white wine though; we don't tend to prefer it.

10:40 am

Book Doctor Gwen

egad, sounds like you word in dilbertland

10:40 am

phaeton

Bosses are asses unless you are a boss!

10:40 am

sandyloo

monkey what country do you live in?

10:40 am

MonkeyGames

I do Gwen. I'm a resident at the most chaotic socila work office in Haarlem. And mind you, resident means unpaid volunteer with more duties.

10:41 am

Scrabbler

My office is classic Dilbert World!

10:41 am

MonkeyGames

The Netherlands.

10:41 am

Book Doctor Gwen

i'm a boss, but self employed, so i don't push me around 8-)

10:41 am

BerniceQ

me too. and i never give away my own wine

10:41 am

MonkeyGames

Just 204 hours to go... then I will have my degree (February) and seek out a nice quiet archiving job.

10:41 am

Book Doctor Gwen

why do you work and at office where you aren't paid? working your way up?

10:41 am

sandyloo

I'm a subservient female who waits on my husband's every wish

10:41 am

ZsaZsa

lol again bernice

10:42 am

Scrabbler

I have to get ready for work now. Waaaah. I want to stay in Babble Land.

10:42 am

BerniceQ

sandy, i hope you're kidding

10:42 am

MonkeyGames

Well, you have to humor them, don't you, Sandy.

10:42 am

MonkeyGames

Gwen, it's a residency position coupled to my education.

10:43 am

MonkeyGames

Bye Scrabbs! Thanks again for all the advice!

10:44 am

Book Doctor Gwen

ah, we call that a work-study program (i think)

10:44 am

sandyloo

lol I went down this road once while i was playing tangle and they all believed me - I was quite shocked- but we all had a good laugh. Of course his every wish is my command!!

10:44 am

Scrabbler

74 left for tonight. Good luck with Walter tomorrow, MG. maybe he is recovering from mono, now that I think of it--a more prolonged illness with tonsillitis, swollen glands, fatigue. treatment = time & rest

10:44 am

BerniceQ

here, with work study you get paid

10:44 am

BerniceQ

internships you don't get paid

10:44 am

Book Doctor Gwen

my brother was in netherlands once and said that almost all the TV is in english. is that still true?

10:44 am

MonkeyGames

Yes. I do 20 hours school, 20 homework, and 20 workplace experience each week. Except I'm smart so that cuts down on the homework hours and increases the boredom levels.

10:44 am

missbeeze

Hello all!

10:44 am

sandyloo

Mono is the kissing disease isn't it?? What has Walter been up to!!

10:45 am

Book Doctor Gwen

my other brother had a job, where he did not get paid, while he was in college, and he was called an intern. not medical though

10:45 am

missbeeze

Back from Vacation! Back to Babbling.....and work

10:45 am

MonkeyGames

Yeah, internship is probably a better word. I was translating from the Dutch.

10:45 am

Scrabbler

That is why adolescents are more likely to get mono, but the youngest kid that I have ever seen with mono was 15 mo old. By age 40 we are all immune to Epstein-Barr virus, the cause.

10:45 am

Book Doctor Gwen

or slave . . . LOL

10:45 am

BerniceQ

sandy, who knows anymore. i don't even understand women who call themselves Mrs. John Smith or whatever

10:46 am

MonkeyGames

Yeah, mono occurred to me, Scrabbs; if so he's on the good side of it, right?

10:46 am

missbeeze

MG - you are doing a social work residency? What type of degree are you working towards?

10:46 am

Scrabbler

Yes, most kids are much improved in about 2 wks, although teens drag it out in order to sleep and miss school.

10:47 am

MonkeyGames

In Dutch it is called Sociale Dienstverlening. It's a very broad degree with an emphasis on administrative and counseling skills.

10:47 am

sandyloo

I try to set a good example for my daughters Bernice but they refuse to follow my perfect behaviour.

10:47 am

phaeton

//

10:47 am

MonkeyGames

Would he be immune after this if that is it, Scrabbler? and how t=do they confirm it? Swab test?

10:47 am

Scrabbler

Sandy, you are such an inspiration to me.

10:47 am

phaeton

why does it keep saying ra5 is not in the dictionary?

10:48 am

Book Doctor Gwen

dienst is research?

10:48 am

MonkeyGames

Dienst is rendering of services.

10:48 am

Book Doctor Gwen

or service? (not wanting to drag out my dutch dictionary)

10:48 am

SharonRA

ra 5 what?

10:48 am

MonkeyGames

Just service, really, but the verlening part means rendering of.

10:48 am

missbeeze

I have my Social Work degree here in the states - I did an internship with a stipend for 9 mths for the State Government. Was paid 3000 up front and then worked for 9mnths - then you are potentially offerered a job after that upon graduation

10:48 am

Book Doctor Gwen

ah, got it. smae word in german, i think, which i studies back in teh stone age

10:48 am

phaeton

ra5/12

10:48 am

Scrabbler

Mono is confirmed by blood work, and you can get ill again---"reactivation" of the virus, and other viruses cause mono-like illnesses, e.g. Cytomegalovirus, Toxoplasmosis.

10:49 am

Book Doctor Gwen

smae = same

10:49 am

BerniceQ

one winter break from college, i was at a friend's home and her mom kept apologizing to her father for some small mistake with the dinner, over and over apologizing, and i thought, i don't want to be that ever.

10:49 am

MonkeyGames

Should I put him through blood tests or just go on the hunch of the doctor?

10:49 am

Book Doctor Gwen

(waiting for the day that toxoplasmosis is in the grid)

10:49 am

sandyloo

I hope I'm an inspiration to the rest of any overliberated women Scrabbler!

10:49 am

SharonRA

what's the o in the first column?

10:49 am

sandyloo

Scrabbler do you play online scrabble and if you do where do you play it?

10:49 am

Scrabbler

Talk it over tomorrow, MG, after he is examined.

10:50 am

Book Doctor Gwen

bernice, sounds like an unbalanced relationship!

10:50 am

BerniceQ

totally

10:50 am

Scrabbler

Haha, Sandy. I am quite happy as a single, childless 48 yr old woman.

10:50 am

SharonRA

not sure how many there are, but mine is showing up

10:50 am

BerniceQ

scrabble as a new beta version on facebook. it wasn't working at first but now it is.

10:50 am

MonkeyGames

OK, will do. Thanks again.

10:50 am

sandyloo

you are lucky and I bet a lot richer

10:50 am

missbeeze

Mono is confirmed by a simple blood test. Once you have it, it is in your system and you are a carrier. You can give it to people and it doesn't really go away, just becomes dormant.

10:50 am

Scrabbler

OK, I must go! I have to earn my paycheck.

10:51 am

Scrabbler

Sandy, less insane too.

10:51 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks! It's just that a simple blood test is not so simple on an almost-four-year-old.... OK, got to marinate steaks and put TV on for the boy and clean up. Have fun all, I'll be back on later!

10:52 am

SharonRA

clue for 0 in first column?

10:52 am

Book Doctor Gwen

(not a carrier) !

10:52 am

missbeeze

very true!

10:52 am

I went to Estes Park, we go there every year, since i was a child - i notice more and more how amazing Colorado is. If i could move within the states, just up and move, i would move there. I can't see any negatives about Colorado. Of course, everywhere has negatives, but the weather is ideal, and the wildlife, it is just suitable for me.

2:17 pm

BerniceQ

does everyone else know that word means pimple except me?

2:17 pm

hurshy

a w** isn't really a pimple, i think it's something more permanent, like a mole

2:17 pm

elder

Hursh .. the extension of one of the we/630.

2:17 pm

elder

Just you I think, Bernie. :))

2:17 pm

Anniebrook

2:17 pm

StephieC

I didn't know that word meant pimple!

periwinkle

hello all, back to find my last 31

2:19 pm

Kazzer99

re 6/21 please

2:19 pm

BerniceQ

i'm sure if you apply yourself you can

2:20 pm

missbeeze

to pair again

2:20 pm

hurshy

but it's very dangerous, because you can easily infect the surrounding tissue

2:20 pm

missbeeze

?

2:20 pm

periwinkle

duh, thanks missb

2:20 pm

missbeeze

yw

2:20 pm

elder

re 6/21 re + another word for friend ( 4 letters)

2:20 pm

BerniceQ

it's dangerous, but doable

2:21 pm

hurshy

you can apply heat to it for fifteen mins a day for 10 days to try to make it go away.

2:21 pm

elder

Wa** should be left alone and checked by GP if any worried by changes etc etc..

2:21 pm

hurshy

we aren't talking about wa4, we're talking about we3.

2:21 pm

missbeeze

i think they can be frozen off or you can tie a string around - those techniques don't work with pimples

2:22 pm

missbeeze

oh! elder i was talking about wa4

2:22 pm

Kazzer99

ty for re 6 got it a blister can be called a we3 or a boil

2:22 pm

2:24 pm

missbeeze

2:25 pm

Anniebrook

2:25 pm

missbeeze

2:53 pm

wickdsmaht

Hi everyone. Thought I'd see if I could get a handful of words before lunch is over!

2:53 pm

hurshy

ice, i heard nancy pelosi make a sort of obvious point, but one i hadn't thought about specifically in those terms, that the party system, and the members of congress deciding to either always vote how the pres wants, or against, depending on the party, thereby makes the legislative branch useless, extends the executive power, and ruins our system of checks and balances.

2:54 pm

icepyro

thx, thats several more words for me

2:54 pm

elder

Lynnxx, I think its your competing with greyhounds that has increased your speed:)

2:54 pm

2:54 pm

elder

hello Wick.

2:54 pm

elder

Bye Kazzer.

2:55 pm

lynxxx

hi Wicked and bye Kazz

2:56 pm

icepyro

hursh... thats the thing... we are NOT a bi-party system, but everyone thinks we are and congress has passed bills to prevent other candidates from receiving govt funding, taking part in debates, and even denying them the right to air commercials for them. as such, if you are not a part of the demorepublican party then you get nothing and noone ever knows if you would be a better candidate

2:56 pm

hurshy

yeah it's really lame. :( :(

2:56 pm

elder

I will be taking my leave too. Bye everyone.. Have a good evening.

2:57 pm

BerniceQ

here here icepyro

2:57 pm

icepyro

I was truly hoping that with this years debate over obama vs clinton that the party would finally split again

2:57 pm

well said

2:57 pm

lynxxx

bye Elder, see you again soon

2:57 pm

3:01 pm

wickdsmaht

70 words. Not too bad. And...I'm outta here for a while. Be back later!

3:01 pm

icepyro

and thats the problem. I didnt want Hilarious Clinton to win, but I wanted to break some molds that I strongly disagree with (being not of the demorepublican party myself) and it would take a division as we almost had to do just that. and honestly I feel Obama would still win the presidency even with Clinton still in the race

Madi95

A nursing home
At eighty-five
And the doctor said it could be her last night
And the nurse said Oh
Should we tell him now
Or should he wait until the morning to find out

But when they checked her room that night
He was laying by her side

Oh he was walking her home
And holding her hand
Oh the way she smiled when he said this is not the end
And just for a while they were eighteen
And she was still more beautiful to him than anything
He was walking her home
He was walking her home

9:24 pm

i began as a secretary and was one for 8 years. i then became an editorial specialist editing IBM technical manuals. Then i went to 19 months of programming retraining through IBM (instead of working, i went to class 8 hours as day plus of course homework. When that was completed, i programmed the online help screens. We had some family problems (as most working parents do) & left IBM in 91 after 14 years to be home with my preteen son. My husband worked there also & left with 18 years of service.

IBM was giving a buy-out which i took first & zane took 2nd. We moved to north myrtle beach, south carolina to learn the hospitality industry. We were doing well, lived i street off the ocean, enjoyed our work & then i began having ruptured disk problems. We stayed until 2003. It was as long as we were able to hang on with me having my physical problems. Since 1997, i haven't been able to work. How's that for a short answer. I could sit around feeling sorry for myself or worrying about the choices i made in my life, but what good would that do? I'm now looking for something lucrative to do on the net since i am not a realiable employee any longer. If anyone knows of something that i could try, plealse inform me.

min are you a barak obama fan? he scares the hell out of me. of course so does mc cain. both do. obam cuz he is so new and so not knowledgeable. he has made such terrible statements with regards to u.s. history. he scares me. he is supposed to be smart. so why dosent he know u.s. history? he misqoted all about the u.s. airlift to berlin after WW 2 for example. and my son was upset cuz he said he would veto a bill and then voted for it first time! hilary vetoed it, as did many other democrats. but he caved in. i am so afraid of him. but also afraid of mc cain so what do i do? terrible election.
