Hi there jilli - I haven't changed my icon yet either - someone missed KJE's cookie recipe so I put it in my bio for her, but will change to another favourite

1:17 am

sprite

you guys rock :)
Please do send Kiwi the recipe too, she is going to make us a babble cook book on line!

1:17 am

flosey

this one of KJE's is so good, have made it a second time already

1:18 am

GroovyKiwi

kia ora family good luck its an easy peasy lemon squeezy grid and i did it in 11 min without licketys list so you all should be able to do it in a flash too

flosey

1:19 am

flosey

GroovyKiwi

1:19 am

sprite

1:20 am

flosey

I won't be rushing either Sprite, hope you'll be able to catch a nap sometime today

1:20 am

GroovyKiwi

btw even tho i havent changed icon or profile - my utmost respect is to our own jilli at her ability to be a computer guru at her most respectful age :)

1:20 am

herinfernallady

pfft to rushing

1:21 am

GroovyKiwi

and heres hoping i can be as brainy as you are jilli when i catch up with you lol

1:21 am

sprite

I hope so too, flosey! Bound to collapse somewhere in the afternoon, lol, that is my dip time.

1:21 am

herinfernallady

Note to self drink a wheat grass based drink in a cup that isn't see through

1:22 am

herinfernallady

WAAAAAAAAAAAA new facebook sucks

1:23 am

jillibus

ok, here I am properly now *listening for cheers from the audience*

1:23 am

GroovyKiwi

i actually dont mind it - i think its easier to find things

1:23 am

sprite

yayyyyyyy jilli! Delicious cookie!!!!!

1:23 am

herinfernallady

WAAA I was just getting used to the old one.

1:24 am

sprite

does it update automatically? Facebook I mean, when you log on?

1:25 am

herinfernallady

Yes Sprite it has :(

1:25 am

jillibus

I haven't even started to do the grid

1:25 am

sprite

ok, good, one worry less

1:26 am

sprite

take your time, jilli, this one is so small and easy it pays to pace yourself ;)

1:26 am

jillibus

I'll do that, sprite -- and what's in your cookie?

1:27 am

sprite

I gave up translating yesterday, jilli. It is a typically dutch recipe and I can't find the translation of the spices etc that go into it.

1:27 am

GroovyKiwi

ok icon and profile updated

1:28 am

sprite

the worst is, in Dutch the spices are simply called cook-spices

1:28 am

jillibus

well -- "spice cookie" will do!

1:28 am

herinfernallady

I dont like it as it takes too long to load

1:29 am

flosey

ok, have my cookie icon but will have to wait until tomorrow to add the recipe

1:30 am

sprite

and I bet there is something similar in english, but I cannot find it :(

1:30 am

jillibus

Kiwi -- great icon, great story, great recipe (probably)!

1:30 am

GroovyKiwi

tyk jilli

1:30 am

herinfernallady

um does this mean i could actually do this grid

1:31 am

sprite

lovely story, Kiwi

1:31 am

sprite

you can, lady, promise *hug*

1:32 am

flosey

recipe sounds good Kiwi - have never followed one by grams though

1:32 am

herinfernallady

cheers. I have a feeling im going to be ill today

1:32 am

GroovyKiwi

like i said herin KT did it in 9 min I did it in 11 - Chaks, Ruru, and a few others have finished too

1:32 am

GroovyKiwi

would you like me to translate it flosey

1:33 am

herinfernallady

zBut that is Knight he finishes in 5 min with a 500 grid

1:33 am

sprite

you don't sound like yourself, indeed, lady. Take it easy hun.

1:34 am

jillibus

oops -- I had forgotten to save the description of my cookie

1:34 am

sprite

would be an idea, Kiwi, for the Babble cook book... both measurements in the recipes. Would that be doable, you think?

1:35 am

herinfernallady

I have guts about a litre of juice and been to the gym. Me and that much juice = bad

1:35 am

herinfernallady

OH and i put my name down for the 5k walk

1:35 am

sprite

wow lady

1:35 am

GroovyKiwi

i can do that

1:36 am

jillibus

kiwi, we use cups and tablespoons and such, not metric and not ounces and pints and things either.

1:36 am

sprite

that would make it very accessible for all of us, Kiwi. This is going to be a big success :D

1:37 am

sprite

maybe we can make a clear table of all of those, jilli and Kiwi? Together we can work it out.

1:37 am

jillibus

there are some cookbooks, I think, which show all three methods -- maybe a website?

1:38 am

loredana

1:38 am

sprite

1:40 am

GroovyKiwi

1:40 am

loredana

1:41 am

GroovyKiwi

yeah it was good fun - we got to go through palmy airport and see all the things that most ppl dont get to see

1:41 am

GroovyKiwi

like the control tower and the baggage handling area and the customs and immigration and police and laboratory areas

1:41 am

sprite

jilli, in the netherlands they were known as negro-kisses, for as long as they exist. But recently the firm that makes them has decided that was not a PC name and changed it. Got lots of protests.

1:42 am

loredana

1:47 am

1:49 am

sprite

1:50 am

jillibus

herin, was that question for me? About baking them yourself? If so, what I'm talking about are exactly like lore's picture of mallow puffs, but they have a totally different name in Quebec -- maybe here too.

1:50 am

GroovyKiwi

1:50 am

herinfernallady

sprite

ah, good one, lady, that link has lots of names for them

1:53 am

loredana

jilliThe Whippet cookie is a distinct part of Quebec culture because it does not travel well outside its area of production. This is partly because the pure chocolate melts very easily (compared with a chocolate mixture) and therefore they require refrigerated transport in summer.

1:53 am

sprite

and jilli, did you see my post about the dutch name?

seems so, and they have fewer employees than is regulated by governments (small business laws), so they can do what they want. I am praying she gets the job if it is a good fit both ways, and praying that if she doesn't get this job that another opportunity will present itself.

herin -- it was "Chocolate Empires" I was thinking of, made by Viau -- I hadn't read the Wikipedia piece carefully enough: "Whippet cookies first came to the market in 1927, although they had been produced and distributed by Viau under the name "Empire" as early as 1901. Today, the cookies are still produced in Montreal at the east end of the Viau factory, which is now owned by Culinar Inc. They are currently available with both dark chocolate and milk chocolate coatings, and with several flavors of fruit jam filling inside the marshmallow."

I now, lobo, I know... but it is 9.56 am here and I don't think I will get much sleep this morning :(

2:57 am

loredana

catnap /fortywinks should suffice

herinfernallady

Catnap on couch is always good

2:58 am

that is an idea. I think I will go find my last 6 words, then cuddle my little girl and make sure she has all she needs, and then curl up on the couch and drift off for a bit.

sandyloo

me neither !!

4:48 am

sandyloo

I hope you live in a safe place in Israel Ish

4:49 am

lshult

yep.....I'm in the far south......nice and quiet here!!!!

4:49 am

sandyloo

That is good, I live in Perth which must be one of the safest places on earth

4:50 am

lshult

my wife grew up on the other side, Sydney

4:51 am

sandyloo

Have been to Sydney a lot and I love it-great food and really beautiful and lots of fun

4:53 am

saintfranny

lurking - sandyloo - you have my attention re: perth - safest place on earth... just looked at map, right near all the water too! i have thoughts of expatting somewhere (esp if elections dont go my way)...

4:54 am

lshult

time to take a lunch break...later

4:55 am

sandyloo

fran - Perth has the best beaches in the world and a great river for sailing watersking ect

4:55 am

saintfranny

i'm going to have to do some investigating

4:55 am

sandyloo

It's a great lifestyle here but it does get hot in the summer

4:55 am

saintfranny

uh oh. how hot? ;)

4:56 am

saintfranny

humid or just hot?

4:56 am

sandyloo

We have a mediterranean climate and the food here is good and we have a great wine industry as well

4:56 am

saintfranny

i'm reading that as humid : /

4:57 am

saintfranny

we do love us some vino though!

4:57 am

sandyloo

it's not humid heat -dry and can get to 110 when we have a hot spell - on the whole a great climate

4:57 am

saintfranny

oh ok! i can do hot. i can't do humid. i'm back on board ;)

4:57 am

lynxxx

They have the Doctor in the West to keep it nice. Hi Sandy & Franny

4:57 am

JBV

good mrorning and Hi to my neighbor in Perth, from Perth Amboy, NJ!

4:58 am

saintfranny

hi

4:58 am

lynxxx

hi JBV

4:58 am

sandyloo

Anybody would love it here but Australia has some fantastic places - Noosa in Queensland is great

4:58 am

JBV

(not the safest place on earth, but we do have a lovely waterfront)

4:58 am

saintfranny

lol jbv

4:58 am

lynxxx

Cairns is better though

4:59 am

sandyloo

Cairns is lovely but can get very humid and hot

5:00 am

saintfranny

ok that one is x'd out then. sticking with perth. how about sydney - dry there also?

5:00 am

sandyloo

hi lynx

5:00 am

sandyloo

Sydney is nice weather most of the time

5:00 am

sandyloo

Nice beaches in Sydney but too many rips

5:01 am

lynxxx

Sydney is more 'big city/cosmopolitan and quite expensive to live in. Exciting for a younger person

5:02 am

saintfranny

i have no idea whats involved in expatting, but i'm seriously going to look into it. also have a friend (american) in malta who hates it there and is looking to land somewhere new. perhaps we can both end up out your way. ;)

5:02 am

saintfranny

well, i'm an old person (by some standards) so maybe sydney isn't for me. plus, it's expensive enough here in new england - looking to downsize expenses

5:03 am

lynxxx

Come to melbourne, I think this is where all the Maltese came when they emmigrated! huge population of them

5:03 am

sandyloo

Lynxx is right about Sydney but it just depends what you are looking for- Try a visit but Aus is a gorgeous happy place to live whereever you choose

5:03 am

JBV

quite a big decision, franny - do you have family or friends anywhere to try it out for a while - most countries make it difficult unless you have a guaranteed job, etc.

5:03 am

saintfranny

oh, well, she's actually not a fan of the maltese people - part of why she hates it there ;) but i'll tell her

5:04 am

saintfranny

no jbv - just me and my husband and load of cats and dogs.

5:04 am

lynxxx

lol - they are a race unto themselves - are they all bossy - and short?

5:04 am

sandyloo

fran my relations from florida have just been here - they think its expensive here

5:05 am

lynxxx

mmm...you'll have issues with quarantine bringing in animals

5:05 am

JBV

based on my limited life experience with Maltese and Maltese-Americans, I'd say they're very different from Australians - malta is a small island, very closed and traditional, australia is open and diverse, n'est-ce pas?

5:05 am

saintfranny

lol i have no idea lynxx. oh dear, wondered about that. that's why england isn't on the list. cant have them locked up for 6 mos

5:06 am

sandyloo

strict quarantine here and you have to have all sorts of innoculations for them first

5:06 am

sandyloo

we have no rabies here

5:07 am

lynxxx

???there is a Babbler who spends 6 mths in UK & then 6 mths in US and travels with her animal. I thought quarantine laws must have been more relaxed with animals travelling

5:07 am

saintfranny

ah, well... like i said, lots of investigating to do. my pets are totally clean - all indoor and well kept.

5:08 am

sandyloo

fran that counts for nothing when you bring them here they all have to go through quarantine

5:08 am

saintfranny

i understand sandy

5:08 am

sandyloo

part and parcel I guess.

5:08 am

lynxxx

JBV - yes quite open and diverse. We seem to have immigrants from specific countries coming in waves...that has been an issue in the past but they seem to integrate into the communities much easier now.

5:09 am

kje

interesting conversation... lots of talk over last couple of elections of leaving US if elections don't land on your side... I find that curious (not that I am not sympathetic, mind you) but just curious of what that says about living in a democracy and if other generations have felt that way

5:10 am

sandyloo

We had interesting conversations with our relatives about your politics

5:11 am

JBV

yes, kje, I would just remind everyone about the grass being greener, etc..... the most I have ever lived outside of U.S. is a matter of months, but enough to know I couldn't make a life of it

5:11 am

sandyloo

We were surprised at some of their attitudes

5:11 am

saintfranny

its only been the last several years that i've questioned my country and its "freedom". not one fiber of my being agrees with the direction its been going and where it would Continue to go if mccain wins

5:11 am

saintfranny

what was that sandy?

5:11 am

sandyloo

They were for your gun laws for instance

5:12 am

sandyloo

Most Australians view your gun laws with horror

5:12 am

saintfranny

as do a lot of americans, fyi

5:12 am

redturtlehead

Morning Everyone. Franny, yes I am very worried about the upcoming elections. Canada is a great option.

5:12 am

kje

true, still curious though of the idea of leaving. I guess on one hand, we do have the freedom to do that, but on the other, not sure what it says of our generation

5:12 am

sandyloo

We thought that most Americans would not like McCain but they were undecided on who to vote for

5:13 am

sandyloo

They raised some interesting points for both sides

5:13 am

lynxxx

Hi Red & kje

5:13 am

kje

hi lynxx

5:13 am

saintfranny

my husband has already mentioned canada, red.. more than once ;)

5:14 am

sandyloo

Another thing is that I think your media is more controlled than ours and they were surprised at that

5:14 am

saintfranny

kje - i'm curious what You think this idea means... you're in texas - i'm assuming our views are quite different re. politics

5:15 am

kje

you assume wrong

5:15 am

kkiln

st

5:15 am

redturtlehead

we are bombareded by messages that we are the freest country, but in reality the government controls a lot of access to information.

5:16 am

saintfranny

oy the media. dont get me started! lol i majored in journalism, but by the time i graduated (11 yrs ago) i was so disgusted with the industry i abandoned that plan

5:16 am

JBV

by the way, my entire career has been with people who have immigrated to the U.S. for opportunity and The Dream - so I see the experience from the other side - it is quite difficult to adapt to another culture in daily life no matter how great the benefits

5:16 am

saintfranny

ok, my bad kje. ;)

5:16 am

sandyloo

In Australia we have news and programs from all over the world - I notice very little diversity from American tv shows in the usa

5:16 am

kje

see, that is what I am talking about... I think that idea is pervasive in our generation... get disgusted and leave rather than staying and fixing

5:17 am

redturtlehead

I thin kkje that there is more a feeling of desperation than disgust.

5:17 am

kje

same is happening in my field, medicine, get disillusioned and leave instead of fighting the forces that move us in directions we don't like

5:17 am

saintfranny

i've never felt more powerless than with this admin. kje. it's like they can do whatever the f*** they want and suffer no consequences

5:18 am

kje

just b/c there are not immediate consequences does not mean there are no consequences...

5:18 am

sandyloo

Bush has affected the way the world looks at America I'm afraid

5:18 am

JBV

those of us who lived through the 60's (anyone out there?) know that people do have power to change things - we need some strong youth leaders, don't see much of that

5:19 am

saintfranny

do YOU think bush/rove/etc will pay ANY price for what they've done?

5:19 am

redturtlehead

Bush has affected the wya I look at America and I live here.

5:19 am

redturtlehead

Oh what is todays icon...

5:20 am

kje

depends on what you mean by "pay", but yes, in general I believe that people do reap what they sow

5:20 am

kje

favorite cookie red

5:20 am

kje

red, did you accept the job in MD?

5:20 am

sandyloo

The thing is America has to get out there and VOTE

5:20 am

Christini

I cringe at the thought of McCain winning but I'm disillusioned about national politics. Lived through the 60's, yes, saw wonderful things happen, which makes the current situtaion seem ever more hopeless.

5:21 am

saintfranny

well, I've done that sandy - my side keeps losing :( makes me feel i'm in an alternate universe that so many dont see the Idiocy of The Shrub

5:21 am

Christini

Franny, I felt that way when he was re-elected. Who could vote for him a second time!

5:22 am

kje

the shrub has a popularity rating in the 20s, I think most americans share that thought, fran

5:22 am

kje

they just are better about getting the vote out, fact is the older americans who are their base are better at getting out and voting than younger americans, obama's base

5:22 am

saintfranny

yet they elected him, TWICE. even my best friend from high school *sob* i cant look at her the same way

5:23 am

JBV

disillusionment led to action in the 60's, that's what's missing now - however I see more active involvement by young people in Obama's campaign, which give me some hope

5:23 am

redturtlehead

Kje I was subbed for it yesterday, they have not called to interview yet. They want someone to start on Oct 6 and I cant until the 20th...

5:23 am

kje

aaahhh - well, good luck red. let me know the outcome and I'll email you a list of my favorite places in the area

5:24 am

saintfranny

yes i Do feel a new sense of hope with obama, but there are still SO many racists here, i'm worried

5:24 am

redturtlehead

Nice. Oddly, I did get a call from FL Hospital for January, so I have that interview today....wierd.

5:24 am

kje

yes, THAT is what I mean jbv.... why this very common idea about leaving rather than active involvement? it is everywhere...

5:25 am

JBV

i'm with you, kje, you make the posters, I'll get people on the bus, let's meet in DC!!!

5:25 am

kje

thought you wanted to avoid the snowbirds red!

5:25 am

saintfranny

but kje - have You ever tried to change the mind of a conservative??? doesn't happen. only 'change' i see possible IS getting people who Dont vote to get off their arses

5:26 am

kje

name date and time jbv! while there we can go for tapas at one of my favorite restaurants!

5:26 am

JBV

between now and the election, we may see a lot more bad news about the economy which will change people's minds

5:26 am

sandyloo

We have a lot about your economy on the news here at the moment

5:28 am

saintfranny

you do? like the housing market, banks?

5:28 am

JBV

"our economy" may affect the world economy, too - news is not good

5:28 am

redturtlehead

our economy is not like ti could be....it needs helllp

5:28 am

kje

5:28 am

redturtlehead

5:29 am

JBV

5:29 am

sandyloo

I feel like asparagus and mushroom risotto for dinner Will someone come over and cook it for me!

5:29 am

saintfranny

politic talk is enough to put anyone to sleep ;)

5:29 am

JBV

sandy, I cooked asparagus last night - saved some for you...

5:30 am

saintfranny

yum sandy! if you find someone, let me know what time dinner is!

5:30 am

sandyloo

Thanks I can't be bothered cooking

5:30 am

kje

Jaleo in the Penn Quarter. They opened one somewhere else recently (trying to remember where), but I do not think it is as good

5:31 am

JBV

just an aside (from the very interesting political chat) - but HOW in the world can I find 58 more words with only one little u in the middle of this grid???

5:31 am

sandyloo

I heard on the grapevine that there are some strange words

5:31 am

kje

have the white sangria, jbv, made with cava, and spinacjh with pine nuts and raisins... and manchego and apple salad.... and cod fritters... and papas bravas... so many good things!!!

5:31 am

saintfranny

lol i have 56 to go jb

5:32 am

sandyloo

No talking like this about food! I will be forced to cook

5:32 am

saintfranny

omg kje. stop it! i'm on a diet! lol

5:32 am

sandyloo

I have 40 left but going to lickety now

5:32 am

kje

it is easy sandy - finished with no list and no chog clues... everyone I saw on earlier was saying the same, mrp got 84 in 20 minutes

5:32 am

bfsog

i have a friend in australia, and years ago when i was a teenager i planned to take my dads boat and swim past the north pole and then round to aus. (this is in reply to when perth was dominating the chat!)

5:32 am

JBV

yum, kje, but most of that doesn't fit in with my eating plan

5:33 am

saintfranny

mrp is too smart for her own good ;)

5:33 am

sandyloo

lol bfsog

5:33 am

saintfranny

lol bfsog ... thanks for following along!

5:33 am

sandyloo

so is kje This is never easy for me!!

5:34 am

bfsog

although mr colombus told us the word was round, looking at a globe i thought it would be quick. the thing is my dads boat is just a small fishing boat!

5:34 am

sandyloo

I have to have some wine now

5:34 am

LoriP

G'd morning Babblers! Cracked off 96 words, and am now staring at the grid like it's in Greek. :p

5:34 am

kje

I was not so fast

5:35 am

sandyloo

hello lor

5:35 am

JBV

hi lori and bfsog

5:35 am

saintfranny

lol lori. yeah, i hadn't noticed til jbv mentioned, that there's only THREE vowels today. now i'm all - huh?

5:36 am

LoriP

Adds a lovely dimension to the grid, doesn't it Fran. :)

5:36 am

kje

but that almost makes it easier... less choices, thus even the weird ones are easier to monkey, cuz there are limited choices

5:36 am

JBV

one useless one in the upper left, one brave e standing all alone, and the u carrying the burden of most of the words

5:36 am

kje

true jbv - the u is overworked... should strike for higher points pay

5:37 am

LoriP

The us is having its 15 minutes of fame.

5:38 am

kje

go U!

5:38 am

saintfranny

ohhhh you silly smart word people. never fail to make me chuckle.

5:40 am

JBV

I'll throw a "smart word" in - (this is the crowd that can appreciate it) - the limited choices kje mentioned are called "co-occurrence constraints" in linguistics - the possible combinations of letters /sounds that make up words

5:41 am

JBV

uh-oh, i killed the chat!

5:41 am

saintfranny

lol

5:41 am

LoriP

I concur with the occurrence

5:41 am

JBV

:) lori

5:41 am

kje

like it jbv

5:42 am

LoriP

: D

5:42 am

elder

Good Morning everyone.

5:43 am

kje

like the idea... thinking of how it applies in medicine... may have to use it as an analogy with my students just to freak 'em out! LOL

5:43 am

saintfranny

hi elder

5:43 am

LoriP

G'd morning elder!

5:43 am

kje

hi elder

5:44 am

JBV

so clurk can be a word, although it isn't, but mumr can't (just tried it, tho, cause in babble, you can never be sure)

5:44 am

sandyloo

hello elder

5:44 am

Karys

sk

5:44 am

kje

yes, tried all kinds of weird ones jbv - LOL

5:45 am

Christini

I have monkeyed every combo (well, obviously not) and cannot find the first du4 - anyone?

5:46 am

kje

dead missiles that do not explode could be called du4

5:46 am

JBV

don't know if it's the first - but do you have a slang word for clothes - rhymes with soap s***

5:47 am

elder

Du/4 um.. could be said by Homer.

5:47 am

elder

and plural.

5:47 am

LoriP

du, just before dark?

5:47 am

kje

Milk Du** is a chewy candy : )

5:47 am

Christini

That's it - but those letters aren't contiguous!

5:48 am

kje

LOL - look again christi

5:48 am

Christini

Oh piffle. Sorry to be dumb.

5:48 am

elder

Lorip, then we move on to the words that gives me tremours:)

5:48 am

5:59 am

Eva

saintfranny

6:04 am

LoriP

4,cu4/7,cu4/7,cu5/16,cu4/6,cu5/14,cu3/
6,cu5/14,cu4/10. What am I missing? Thanks!

6:06 am

Eva

6:06 am

saintfranny

6:06 am

elder

Eva.. not that far yet with the C's sorry.

6:07 am

LoriP

cl 7/36?

6:07 am

sandyloo

yes

6:07 am

LoriP

Wow, that was timely Lori......

6:07 am

crosshair

cl 7/36= a group or gathering of objects

6:07 am

Eva

6:07 am

elder

I have that on CL7

6:08 am

LoriP

9 cu's, 6 cr's, 1 cl

6:08 am

Eva

6:08 am

elder

Smarty pants !!:)

6:09 am

elder

LoriP.. at this rate DENSA will throw you out !

6:09 am

Eva

got it. Thanks for narrowing it down for me.

6:09 am

crosshair

densa anything like mensa?

6:10 am

LoriP

DENSA rocks!

6:10 am

crosshair

do they sit around all day and compare brain pans?

6:10 am

sandyloo

I think I should join Densa not mensa!

6:11 am

elder

lol

6:12 am

LoriP

As prez of DENSA, let me just say, frown on thinking, and comparisons are good, for continued deflation of our egos.

6:13 am

LoriP

My personal goal is to take inferiority to new heights.

6:13 am

bfsog

excuse my naivity, but whats Densa?

6:13 am

crosshair

lol i just googled densa..now i can join!:)

6:13 am

elder

quite.. well spoken.. lol.

6:14 am

LoriP

bfsog, it's just a parody of the intellectual elite aka MENSA

6:14 am

bfsog

i see,

6:14 am

LoriP

I'm the intellectual delete. Down with intelligence!

6:15 am

elder

Ru/4 bring back memories of early little ones food.

6:15 am

crosshair

if they are that smart the least they can do is cook the rest of us up some lottery numbers or a cure for damn cancer:)

6:15 am

haneef

good morning all just sent kids off to school now i can have some me time and babble

6:16 am

crosshair

morning han:)

6:16 am

LoriP

G'd morning haneef. cross, world peace and a fuel that doesn't cause agricultural nightmares and hunger would be nice too.

6:16 am

elder

Cross.. I have learnt through life that Intelligence does not equate with thinking out of the box of good manners.

6:16 am

crosshair

quite so

6:16 am

elder

Hello Han.

6:17 am

elder

.. 'and good manners'

6:18 am

crosshair

i agree with that lori..seen alber
ta lately? place is turing into a tar sand quagmire:(

6:18 am

crosshair

mm babble expert still has some lil nigg
ling issues

6:19 am

sandyloo

I just googled Densa - now I'm a member too

6:20 am

crosshair

see? we can all join!

6:20 am

saintfranny

i'm feeling wicked smart today! 15 to go! though... i think that may be it. still yet, good way to start the day

6:21 am

elder

I don't want to join.. I could not compete with LoriP:)

6:21 am

Eva

fireworks! Can now go and be productive.

6:21 am

crosshair

yaa for eva! 21 gun salute for you!:))

6:21 am

elder

Eva. well done !!

6:21 am

LoriP

Go franny go! I'm afraid that because of your smartiness, we have rejected your application, and are referring you to MENSA. :-)

6:22 am

LoriP

Congratulations Eva! Don't waste the day being productive though, enjoy 'yerself.

6:22 am

saintfranny

ohhh fear not lorip. this is an anomoly. i didn't break 1000 on my SATs ;)

6:23 am

elder

LoriP... re Saintfranny LOL

6:24 am

LoriP

I'm not a very good recruiter am I elder.

6:24 am

sandyloo

16 to go

6:24 am

sandyloo

I'm racing you Fran!!

6:24 am

Eva

Don't know if it's really productivity, but I'm bound and determined to slog through all old files and organize things. Don't worry-I only do this once in a blue moon, but it is so satisfying to throw massive piles away. Andif you ignore things for long enough, most of them are not longer relevant.

6:25 am

crosshair

lol eva..just scan it all and toss it:)

6:25 am

crosshair

put it all on a single key drive and hang it on a key chain

6:25 am

LoriP

lol Eva. That's my strategy too! Shredding papers, and/or lighting them afire in the burning barrel is so therapeutic and satisfying.

6:26 am

saintfranny

i know sandy you're hot on my heels

6:26 am

sandyloo

I have boxes like that eva

6:26 am

sandyloo

15 now fran

6:26 am

LoriP

***plays Roadrunner/Wile E Coyote type music in the backgrounds while franny and sandy duke it out***

6:26 am

Eva

Most of it doesn't even deserve scanning. I mean how many old phone bills does one really need? I know I should probably shred, burn, etc, but living in the middle of nowhere, I don't tend to worry about it much.

6:27 am

elder

Shredding is excellent too.. I place people in there.

6:27 am

haneef

i find it interesting that 104 words can be made using only 3 vowels

6:27 am

sandyloo

If I could shred Fran I would be sure of winning

6:27 am

crosshair

i use the 3 minth rule on bills in that if they havent come back to try and bill you twice within 3 months,then your safe;0

6:27 am

Eva

I think we bought a shredder once, but I don't know where it is. Maybe when I sort through everything it will appear. It would make good mulch for the garlic and strawberry. Shades of Fargo elder!

6:27 am

crosshair

month even

6:27 am

LoriP

Indeed Haneef, it was a gooder.

6:28 am

elder

Eva. you live in the middle of nowhere but your rubbish could be go to more urban areas.

6:28 am

LoriP

Fargo! Love love love LOVE that movie.

6:28 am

crosshair

lol@ the shredder that is lost under the mounds of old paperwork!

6:29 am

elder

Eva.. you can also put it in compost bin.

6:29 am

LoriP

I purged phone bills, power bills etc literally from 8 years ago. Why on earth did I have them? Slovenliness. heh

6:30 am

crosshair

400 pounds of old shredded bills and one tea bag does not seem to make good compost;)

6:30 am

LoriP

Well kids, it's been a slice, but I am off to scour the grocery stores for markdowns. thanks for the conversation, and enjoy 'yer day!

6:30 am

elder

I have shoe boxes and concertina files for paper work.. here the thinking is, keep all for 5 years just in case ( Tax inspectors ).

6:31 am

Eva

true elder. I probably should be more cautious, but I guess that each of us finds the level of protection we can bear, and shredding seems a bit over my line. I may regret that someday, but it feels like the list of things one could be careful about, protect against, is every growing and for me, thinking about that direction too much feels like not the way I want to live.

6:31 am

elder

Welll done!!! LoriP have a good day, treat your self.. :)

6:32 am

Eva

a bonfire is an appealing thought, but since one of our neighbor's houses burnt down last month, I'm a bit wary.

6:32 am

sandyloo

bye lor

6:32 am

elder

Eva, just shred stuff that could lead to my banking details and if I have any confidential out of date work stuff.

6:33 am

sandyloo

I need to shred our bank details so my husband can't see the bank statement

6:33 am

elder

Sandy.. LOL !!

6:34 am

sandyloo

hmmm elder, you seem to have a good understanding of that concept

6:35 am

elder

Sandy, sadly.. lol

9:42 am

kje

1. - texas isn't really the south - it is southwest, not like georgia, carolinas, mississippi, alabama, etc

9:42 am

BzznBea

I've only seen heard of them since we moved to NC.

9:42 am

kje

2. my parents are northerners, so we didn't grow up eating some traditional things

9:43 am

periwinkle

I've heard of cheese straws, don't think I have eaten them tho

9:43 am

BzznBea

And I have been doing an "informal" survey of babblers to see which regions have heard of them.

9:43 am

periwinkle

I am from Pa

9:43 am

BzznBea

I am going to make some today.

9:43 am

kje

9:44 am

periwinkle

Hi, Pini, will keep looking

9:45 am

Pinikula

(still missing 1 d)

9:45 am

kje

doubt if it is as much of a regional issue as a foodie issue... I know them from restaurants and cooking magazines... nice cocktail ho d' oevr

9:45 am

periwinkle

I think that is where I know them from too

9:45 am

kje

hors d' oeuvre

9:46 am

kje

9:46 am

kje

9:46 am

periwinkle

9:46 am

periwinkle

or should say :-( my cat refuses to help with any household chores!

9:47 am

Pinikula

the one with 9 (2nd column, 3rd row)

9:47 am

kje

no 9

9:47 am

kje

oooh - nm

9:48 am

kje

my last word was from that d... a dr 4/7 instrument... how lame was that!

9:48 am

BzznBea

I still need five of those Ds

9:49 am

Pinikula

I'm gathering it's a DU, but don't know what else I can pull out of it...

9:49 am

redturtlehead

Grrrr. Mgr has still not called back. I want to go swimming but I am afraid I wont know if the phone rings while I am in the pool.

9:49 am

kje

use a lot of the c words but make them d words

9:50 am

kje

wait until time he said and then leave. send him a message that said you had other plans and will set another time - that is rude and unprofessional

9:50 am

kje

next time, tell him to set a specific time... your time is too valuable for that

9:51 am

Pinikula

got it, thx, kje

9:51 am

redturtlehead

He did set a specific time!!!

9:51 am

redturtlehead

it was for 10:00 am.

9:51 am

kje

well, if he didn't meet it, tell him you are busy and will have to set another time

9:51 am

redturtlehead

When he didnt call, I called over ot the hospital, and apparently they are how strange, short staffed LOL and would call me back within the hour.

9:51 am

Pinikula

if his missed his "specific" time, and you have been available "specifically" for that, then it's not your problem anymore...

9:52 am

kje

send him a message that says, sorry we missed, I waited until X time, but had to go to other appts, let's set another time, thanks

9:52 am

redturtlehead

Problem is this is the peach job in Florida. So I need to just chill and wait for the phone.

9:52 am

redturtlehead

I'm thinking about asking the lifeguard to just let me know if the phone rings.

9:52 am

redturtlehead

I would rather wrap itup today.

9:52 am

Pinikula

...like kje said, your time is equally as valuable as his...

9:53 am

Pinikula

or call him instead of waiting...

9:53 am

kje

not necessarily red... no need to grovel... you have options and he should know that, be polite, but firm and your time is valuable, he'll understand that. the problem is that you have no idea what has come up and can sit there waiting forever... so just reset the time... that is NOT a bad thing to do

9:53 am

Pinikula

...let him know that you were expecting a call and that, when you didn't hear from him, gave him a buffer of time and then called him...

9:54 am

redturtlehead

Well, I'm not groveling, so far, when I called, they decided I was "very resourceful" I will probably get the job because my resume is very good. I think my resume is better than I am.

9:54 am

kje

ridiculous comment red... your resume is you

9:54 am

kje

: )

9:55 am

redturtlehead

but I might just go ahead and drive up to the other hospital and get my wallet.

9:55 am

redturtlehead

OK so maybe I look better on paper.

9:55 am

kje

you know how hospitals can be, something probably came up and distracted him... just leave a message letting him know you are happy to reschedule if he has no time right now

9:55 am

Pinikula

If you allow them to "make you wait" until he's able to get to you could be a sign of things to come...i.e., being seen as "lower" than him/others in that you wait...just a thought

9:56 am

redturtlehead

Its only for a 13 week contract Pini, so it doesnt matter. Its not anything permanent. It is quite important that I get something soon.

9:57 am

redturtlehead

But the pay is out of this world for Florida.

9:57 am

Pinikula

gotcha...I'd follow kje...I'd make a call and reschedule

9:57 am

kje

you know, for such a wimpy name, Ike did some serious damage... think he had a napoleon complex

9:57 am

redturtlehead

Ike really was HUGE.

9:58 am

kje

yes he was red

9:59 am

kje

just what is it that you like about florida, red?

10:00 am

Pinikula

well, on that note, I'd better get ready for work myself...*sigh*...I don't wanna go!!!!

10:00 am

Pinikula

happy babbling all...good luck, red

10:00 am

kje

bye pini - hagd

MonkeyGames

Exhausting afternoon behind me; we went to teh school Walter will be starting at on Friday to meet his new teacher and see the daycare he'll go to Thursdays after school.

10:45 am

MonkeyGames

Providing of services.

10:45 am

stidmama

what does Walter think of the school?

10:46 am

stidmama

ah. so a sort of catch-all for helpers.

10:46 am

MonkeyGames

He really likes it, as do I. GREAT place. And teh daycare (on site) turned out to be run by the person who ran his playgroup a year ago, great lady.

10:47 am

MonkeyGames

Yes, Stid, but you have to get a degree before you can call yourself one.

10:47 am

stidmama

am I right that it's about supper time back there? 6 pm or so?

10:47 am

MonkeyGames

Yup. We eat at7, though; husband gets home 6:30.

10:47 am

MonkeyGames

BRB

10:47 am

stidmama

I am glad you found such a great combination for Walter. It will make the transition easier.

10:48 am

72 Temple Owl

seems you had a nice visit then.

10:48 am

stidmama

*sniffs air for hints of supper*

10:48 am

stidmama

yes, we did TO -- I took a couple pics, haven't checked to see if they turned out. Hold on a few. brb

10:48 am

MonkeyGames

RB

10:49 am

MonkeyGames

Yes, it is a great school and he could see that. They sit in groups instead of rows, they have a bit of a learn-at-own-pace lesson style, computers even for the 4-year-olds, etc.

10:50 am

MonkeyGames

Supper not started yet: doing some sort of Szechuan pork so it'll cook really fast.

10:51 am

72 Temple Owl

wow whereever you are it seems to be a hub of airline activity

10:51 am

72 Temple Owl

well i am marking time before going out to lunch

10:51 am

MonkeyGames

Walter's new thing though is running off and not stopping. He left the school grounds altogether and went to our trike and I had to yell at him. Then wehn we got home he did it again right across the parking lot here and I had to figure out a punishment so there will be consequences. Unpleasant.

10:52 am

Angelsong

hi, all. quite an easy grid, today

10:53 am

MonkeyGames

So far it is...

10:53 am

72 Temple Owl

hi angel

10:53 am

72 Temple Owl

10:54 am

stidmama

okay... I am uploading two pics to a webalbum on picasa. Will post the link in my profile in a minute.

10:54 am

stidmama

hello angelsong

10:54 am

Angelsong

I'm opening an online savings account today.

10:54 am

Angelsong

Stid! you liked my blog post, did you?

10:55 am

stidmama

oh oh monkey! when my kids started to do that it scared me because it was the beginning of my health issues and I couldn't chase them. Got so I wore long skirts and insisted they hold on to the skirt whenever we were "out and about" the minute they let go I knew it and was still close enough to grab them!

10:55 am

stidmama

oh, it was excellent angelsong!

10:55 am

72 Temple Owl

oh stid i have to go - i will catch you later, hopefully

10:56 am

MonkeyGames

That might be a plan.

10:56 am

Angelsong

I have no idea where to submit it, though...

10:56 am

MonkeyGames

The punishment I came up with (we don't believe in spankings and the like) was that he may not play on the deck this afternoon, and he lost the ball he was carrying for the rest of the day.

10:56 am

stidmama

TO, link up in my profile.

10:57 am

stidmama

(see you later)

10:57 am

stidmama

ah. did it work? my kids generally needed something more closely tied to the actual infractions. But I also insisted that they NOT inconvenience me. LOL

Work? I dunno. Couldn't think of anything tied to running away I could use. He is upset about the ball and deck and says he will not do it again. But he said that earlier too. I may have to threaten to tie him to me in public!

MonkeyGames

Thanks!

"Have some tea, will finish last 5 words" - hi all !

11:01 am

stidmama

That, or immediately stop the outing the minute he gets more than ten feet away. I suspect for an active, outdoor kid like him that would take only ONCE and he would get the message.

11:01 am

stidmama

*faints in shock* montreal??? bon jour!

11:01 am

kje

only "some" tea/

11:01 am

montreal13

MonkeyGames

Once was on the way out of the school to come home and once was on the way to the door from the trike... nothing to cut short. That WOUDL work on more fun outings, except if we're taking the dog-- not fair to her, then. Sigh. But good advice nonetheless.

11:03 am

stidmama

decided I want to be a teacher, but in the 20 years since I left school they changed the requirements so a year of undergrad stuff to fill the gaps, then two years of a master's (hope I'll get in) and then.... I guess then we see if anyone will hire me!

11:03 am

montreal13

Haz1558

Well done, montreal!

11:37 am

Aloyisius

hi all.. am feeling bad because I didn't realize there was a Lickety link.. and yesterday I asked a million questions about "how many" this and that.. Babblers are such great sports! Didn't finish the grid, four short.. but I could have if I had looked at the bottom of the page, so I guess I paid for my folly. Am at the library as I probably will not have power back until the end of the week.. groan. The "remnant of Ike" turned out to be horrible..

11:37 am

Haz1558

Oh, Aloy! I hope things get better for you soon.

11:37 am

FMitch

(((Aloy)))

11:38 am

montreal13

hi Aloy - was Ike "bad" for you and yours ?

11:38 am

FMitch

Congrats monty *hands flounder on a ceremonial platter*

11:38 am

Haz1558

Being without power is horrible even for a short space of time.

11:39 am

montreal13

"whispers to FM - has to be a slap..."

11:39 am

Aloyisius

thanks.. don't feel like I should complain though because so many are suffering.. we just had limbs down and one of our neighbor's limbs hit the transformer and it exploded.. ergo, no power. Yup, our well doesn't supply water without the pump.. need a generator..

11:39 am

Haz1558

And, in the light of what you've been through, I don't think any babbler will hold anything against you. Stop feeling bad!

11:39 am

Haz1558

Neighbour's limbs being trees, yes?

11:40 am

Haz1558

Otherwise, the picture of the carnage is .... well, let's hope they were branches of trees.

11:40 am

Aloyisius

lol, Haz... you made me smile! Yes, a locust tree limb

11:40 am

Haz1558

SUCH a relief!

11:40 am

FMitch

... Smack ... Oops sorry monty forgot to take the fish off the platter ...

11:40 am

montreal13

sorry to hear that Aloy...

11:41 am

Aloyisius

aaaack, the picture you evoke, Haz! (-:

11:41 am

montreal13

"double ouch"

11:41 am

montreal13

limbs flying...whoa...

11:41 am

Haz1558

I know. I'm sorry, Aloy, but at least you can smile about it.

11:42 am

redturtlehead

Aloy I am sorry feel free to come to Clermont we have power. Gots to go now, left my wallet at work. lets hope I dont get asked for a license until I get it.

11:42 am

montreal13

thanks - "taking a bow with a large flourish of my fedora" - always a nice feeling completing a grid without Lickety's... but with a little help from my friends...

11:43 am

Aloyisius

Oh now that is a good one Aloy.
Bye red

11:44 am

11:45 am

montreal13

well must go - bye all and take care, especially you (Aloy) - "POOF"

11:45 am

FMitch

Well perhpas others laugh at our babble butts, so it sort of works in a convoluted way?

11:45 am

Aloyisius

lol.. Babble-butt! (getting looks in the library).. why is that woman so happy at the computer?

11:45 am

Haz1558

Bye montreal - good to see you again!

11:46 am

montreal13

11:46 am

Aloyisius

Haz1558

I keep a lookout at all times for the men in white coats. That's why I'm still here and not carried off yet.

11:47 am

Haz1558

Good for you Aloy. Nobody will take the slightest notice of a woman laughing with her head down.

11:48 am

FMitch

LOL

11:48 am

Aloyisius

shoulders shaking though.. what to do?

11:48 am

Haz1558

Pretend you're having a coughing fit.

11:48 am

FMitch

There is no hope for you Aloy - just laugh and feel those good things happening (before you get thrown out)!

11:49 am

Aloyisius

whips out tissues.. yes! good idea!

11:49 am

Haz1558

But don't let them think you're having a fit or the ambulance people will come.

11:49 am

Aloyisius

glances over to front desk.. ah good, she is busy..

11:50 am

Aloyisius

but not on the phone, phew

11:50 am

Haz1558

Well, sadly I'll have to leave FMitch to dispense words of wisdom - I'll have to get some food ready for the hungry hordes.

11:50 am

FMitch

Probably just as well is a quick grid today then :)

11:50 am

Haz1558

Does one husband constitute a horde?

11:50 am

Aloyisius

bye Haz.. see you next grid.. have a great day!

11:50 am

FMitch

Awe, sigh, nice to see you anyway Haz :)

of course it depends what else you've got in your chart but in general they are

1:22 pm

pugmama763

although strangely they seem to start out old & enjoy their childhood later in life

1:22 pm

Uneaixoise

really?! that is sooo true of moi!

1:24 pm

pugmama763

they seem unable to enjoy being caefree untill they are sure they've gained enough security

1:24 pm

Uneaixoise

that's amazingly on the money . . . jeez . . .

kind of... I asked my mom at 5 to open a bank account for me. I didn't touch it until I was 21.

1:27 pm

Uneaixoise

yep . . . always pretty frugal . . . (but I loved counting it . . . and smelling it!)

1:27 pm

pugmama763

there's a typical cappy for you!

1:28 pm

Uneaixoise

but I love love love giving gifts and choosing just the right one . . . consider myself to be rather generous . . . does that fit?

1:28 pm

pugmama763

like i said it's all about security,the driving force of the Capricorn mind

1:29 pm

Uneaixoise

yep, not a big risk taker! LOL

1:29 pm

pugmama763

oh yes with folks you love and/or feel truly deserve it absolutely

1:30 pm

1MoreGame

this is a little scary...

1:31 pm

pugmama763

I don't find it scary as it helps one to understand what motivates people in your life if you learn a bit about it

1:31 pm

1MoreGame

Does waiting until your 28 to get married count as waiting for security

1:32 pm

pugmama763

well hard to say on an individual basis but Cappys do tend to marry later than most

1:33 pm

pugmama763

they want to be sure they are well established in their own right first it seems

1:34 pm

pugmama763

the idea of being dependent is abhorent to most of them

1:37 pm

pugmama763

they also seem to place less value on things that come to them too easily.Including relationships.

1:39 pm

pugmama763

will shut up now as I've bored the chog to sleep...

1:40 pm

1MoreGame

well, relationships don't come easy for me.... but I do agree with the other part

1:40 pm

1MoreGame

Not at all.

1:40 pm

1MoreGame

More like pondering...

1:41 pm

pugmama763

exactly my point they do not believe in just falling into a romance. they believe everything worthwhile must be gained through hard work

1:42 pm

1MoreGame

your point made: my motto is anything worth having is worth fighting for

1:43 pm

Nut - I want my candidates (for the Canadian election, obviously) to STOP creating horrible ads which just say smack about the other guy, instead of promoting themself.

8:00 pm

lil*monkey

8:00 pm

Pinikula

Pug, it's a combination of two screen names (one was mine: Pink Lady; the other was a good friend who passed: Bunnicula - several chat friends incorporated his nickname into ours and this is what I came up with.) A pink vampire bunny!

8:01 pm

lil*monkey

would you prefer, Count NUTS-ula?

8:01 pm

8:45 pm

pam

congrats aussie and all finishers

8:45 pm

pam

great, woulf!

8:45 pm

GreyWoulf

They put two stents in place and she feels worlds better

8:45 pm

Aussieme

Woulf, whats wrong with Mom In Law ?

8:45 pm

72 Temple Owl

yay aussie!

8:45 pm

GreyWoulf

Yayyy for Aussie

8:46 pm

Aussieme

fankoomuch guys..... was here on and off today, didnt chat, wanted to wait till I had finished to do so...

8:47 pm

GreyWoulf

Aussie -- she went to the ER Thursday night with what she thought was gall bladder pain.... it turned out she actually had a heart attack, thankfully it was a minor one

8:47 pm

Aussieme

Oh my Woulf..... **Woulfs Mom In Law on my prayer list for good recovery**

8:48 pm

Aussieme

Woulf, just curious.... does your nic come from CubScouts GreyWoulf ??

8:49 pm

GreyWoulf

In addition to the impact on her, we have been a bit crazed in my household as well because she has been the primary transportation to get Kristianna to and from school

8:49 pm

GreyWoulf

No, though I did participate in the organization -- it came from my circle of friends that I met during my college years

8:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

are you lansdale or north wales? a friend of mine is principal of newest elementary sholl but i cannot emember the school name. the body has gone the ind is following closely :/

8:50 pm

Aussieme

Oh Woulf.... I know how that one goes.... My Mom-In-Law was the primary carer for our little girl as we worked the same shift in the same job, she got sick last year, and now me and my Hubby work different shifts, he works 5am-1pm, I work 2pm to midnight...

8:51 pm

Aussieme

Ah, I see about the nic...

8:51 pm

GreyWoulf

We all represent various aspects of metaphysical thought and study -- at that time, I was strongly drawn to Native American studies and I identified with Wolf as my primary totem guide

8:51 pm

GreyWoulf

To - Lansdale -- she is going to Knapp, principal is Mr Mazza

8:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

and woulf - have you watched "fringe" yet and if so do you like it?

8:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

not same then, ty. must call marianne soon, it's been a while.

8:53 pm

GreyWoulf

I haven't caught Fringe yet, but I do have the DVR set to record the series so I don't miss any -- I will let you know after I get the chance to view it

8:53 pm

pam

Very cool, woulf. I have always identified with the aspects of my astrological sign, Scorpio....phoenix, scorpion

8:53 pm

pam

I am watching it... it's a little loose, TO, do you like it?

8:54 pm

GreyWoulf

Aussie -- the biggest impact in taking over the transport responsibilities is that she has to get to school an hour after I am supposed to be at work and I have the only car... we are too close to the school for her to ride the bus

8:55 pm

GreyWoulf

But at least I have now registered her for the schools before hours program so I will be able to drop her off for two hours of activities plus breakfast on my way into work

8:55 pm

Aussieme

Oh Woulf..... our biggest impact is that we only see each other for 20 minutes a day, and 2 whole days in 3 weeks....

8:56 pm

GreyWoulf

then the only time I will lose time from work will be getting her home again

8:56 pm

Aussieme

That is a solution Woulf.....

8:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

i missed episode #2 tonight. i don't know, pam. i would rather see david duchovny clothed than a girl in her undies. ;)
sad about him though

8:56 pm

pam

Oh, htat's good, woulf....

8:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

i missed episode #2 tonight. i don't know, pam.

8:56 pm

Ah, not so good with the losing time from work....

pam

yay, repart!

8:57 pm

GreyWoulf

Aussie -- you have my deepest regards and empathy for doing that -- when Kirsten was working she was on graveyard shift vs my days -- the overlaps weren't as extreme for you but I understand

8:57 pm

pam

hi, harp

8:57 pm

Aussieme

YAY !!!!! C*O*N*G*R*A*T*U*L*A*T*I*O*N*S reparteena !!!!!!!!!!

8:58 pm

harpjane

8:59 pm

reparteena

Thanks everyone...& here's to many more!

8:59 pm

phandmd

good evening; does anyone want a clue?

8:59 pm

Aussieme

We have been doing this since March, and it has been hell on wheels..... We have basically spent almost every day together since we got together 14 years ago, and now we see each other for 2 days in 3 weeks, it is damn hard, which is why I babble so much.....

8:59 pm

Aussieme

not me Phan, I am done !

8:59 pm

GreyWoulf

LOL, harp -- Kristianna is just starting kindergarten this year... unfortunately it is only a half day class, and not even a full half day at that -- I don't understand why kindergarteners should only have to be in class for two hours and fourty minutes

9:00 pm

GreyWoulf

That is another reason why I am glad to get Kristianna into the before school program... since it has guided activities it will be a more educational experience from my perspective

9:00 pm

harpjane

i know, most kindergartners i know are better than I am at computers!

9:00 pm

Aussieme

Woulf, my little girl goes to a day nursery (childcare school) for 5 hours a week, which is one half-day... 1pm till 6pm on a friday....

9:01 pm

GreyWoulf

Unfortunately, she won't be able to start the program until Oct 1st -- until then we will muddle througth as best we can

9:01 pm

Aussieme

Gives my Hubby a chance to catch up on things when I am at work....

9:01 pm

harpjane

parents become chauffeurs and they need a computer programmer to figure out their schedules!

9:02 pm

GreyWoulf

what happened to duchovny?

9:02 pm

Aussieme

ok, really mu4 go now.... Hubby is due to wake in just over an hour, so I beter get me some shut-eye !! Sweet dreams, and I am off to find my pillows.... **poof**

9:02 pm

pam

he is in rehab, woulf. for sex addiction

9:03 pm

GreyWoulf

Farewell, Aussie and {**hugs**}

9:03 pm

GreyWoulf

When did that happen, pam?

9:03 pm

Aussieme

**comes back into room to place chocolate kisses on table and hugs all round, and then really poofs**

9:03 pm

pam

ciao, aussie

9:04 pm

harpjane

sex addiction is pretty serious but he's smart and will get through it i'm sure

9:04 pm

pam

i hope so, harp. for his sake and his family's sake

9:04 pm

harpjane

it needs to be approached like any other 12 step program, plus you have to listen to lame jokes about it all the time!

9:05 pm

pam

too true, harp

9:06 pm

harpjane

western society views it a bit like they viewed rape in the 50's and 60's; very little awareness and assuming it's not a very big problem

9:08 pm

MetFan

F*I*R*E*W*O*R*K*S

9:08 pm

harpjane

yay met!

9:08 pm

pam

yay, met

9:08 pm

MetFan

Hi, all - I was lurking so I could finish tonight.

9:08 pm

GreyWoulf

Any addiction is a curse -- I think the biggest problem that modern society has is accepting that there are as many diverse forms of addiction as there are people

9:09 pm

GreyWoulf

Yayyy for MetFan

9:09 pm

MetFan

Thanks , jane and Woulf!

9:09 pm

pam

our culture tends to throw a "taboo" label on anything to do with s-e-x

9:09 pm

MetFan

And you, Pam!

9:11 pm

MetFan

Now that I've done, I'm off to watch "The Shield". Congrats to all who finished, and good luck to all still at it. See you tomorrow. ***POOF***

9:11 pm

pam

ciao, met

9:12 pm

GreyWoulf

Taboo has come to be used to describe anything which has a provocative nature

9:13 pm

lbdawger

WOULFIE!!!

9:13 pm

GreyWoulf

Yet there was once a time sometime would be deemed taboo because it contained information that needed to be disseminated to a select few

9:14 pm

GreyWoulf

lbd!!!!!

9:14 pm

pam

indeed, woulf

9:14 pm

GreyWoulf

oops - something not sometime

hi herin

9:14 pm

herinfernallady

Hi

9:15 pm

GreyWoulf

oof!!

Hi lady!

9:15 pm

lbdawger

deep topic!

9:15 pm

herinfernallady

How are you all?

9:15 pm

pam

herin

9:15 pm

lbdawger

doing well here, herin. how about you?

9:15 pm

pam

howdy

9:15 pm

GreyWoulf

as deep as you want it to be, lbd

9:16 pm

lbdawger

it's good to read such serious discussion

9:17 pm

GreyWoulf

Btw, pam -- my secondary totem creature that I identify with strongly is Coyote -- one of the key aspects they have in common is that they are both teachers

9:18 pm

GreyWoulf

serious is necessary to highlight the humor which abounds in the world

9:18 pm

herinfernallady

recovering. One should not drink a litre of juice

9:18 pm

lbdawger

so true, woulf

9:19 pm

GreyWoulf

what kind of juice, lady? and in what time frame was it consumed?

9:19 pm

lbdawger

and was there something in there other than juice?

9:19 pm

GreyWoulf

Which actually defines part of the differences between Wolf and Coyote in their teaching techniques, lbd

9:20 pm

GreyWoulf

Wolf is the guide and pathfinder, serious and silent in showing the way

9:20 pm

lbdawger

ah, yes, Coyote the trickster

9:20 pm

herinfernallady

No just juice.

9:20 pm

GreyWoulf

Coyote is a trickster who teaches by the fact that he doesn't always learn from his mistakes

9:21 pm

herinfernallady

Grey i did a meditation thingie the other day and my guide was a big black cat and when i got to the tribal fire Wolf appeared and I got a licking it was AWESOME.

9:22 pm

lbdawger

I learned much from Castanades books regarding Indian/Mexican lore.

9:22 pm

GreyWoulf

Very cool, lady

9:23 pm

herinfernallady

It was and were did pam go?

9:24 pm

herinfernallady

There is a man by the name of Scott Alexander King and he is awesome

9:24 pm

GreyWoulf

lbd -- I have to admit that my readings on the topic have been haphazard and eclectic in base... I learn more from discussion with others than reading... however, Casteneda is on my list to read

9:25 pm

lbdawger

you sound very invigorated by the experience, herin

9:26 pm

lbdawger

Woulf, he's an interesting author. Metaphysical if you want, or sci/fi.

9:26 pm

herinfernallady

http://www.animaldreaming.com/ This is him and Grey when he was reading me i was reading him it was awesome. I went to a free seminar and i started writing down words that came to me about him and then told him about it after. Also on the day i had fox magic happening and he picked it up

9:26 pm

GreyWoulf

I know of him, lbd -- one of my coworkers when I used to work for the bookstore was very into him, and so I have heard a few of his concepts

9:27 pm

herinfernallady

LBD yes it has helped change things

9:29 pm

lbdawger

that's good to hear, herin.

9:30 pm

herinfernallady

Oh im also having a secret competition between me and a friend. He doesn't know but he is doing for the millionth time the Body for life challenge. I am going to do my own thing and see what the results are between us in 12 weeks. His program is full of faults and crap

9:31 pm

GreyWoulf

Sounds like a fabulous experience, lady -- I am still waiting to encounter someone who impacts me in that manner

9:31 pm

CiociaJudy

{{{{{GW}}}}} I was in Philly two weeks ago!!

9:32 pm

herinfernallady

Grey do you have Mind Body Spirit festivels?

9:32 pm

GreyWoulf

this is turning into one of those annoying grids where I get started on a letter and zip through finding all the words attached to it except one!

9:33 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Judy

9:33 pm

lbdawger

hi judy!

9:33 pm

CiociaJudy

Greetings herein and lbd

9:33 pm

herinfernallady

Agreed Grey

9:33 pm

CiociaJudy

down to last word; only the second grid I've done without a list

9:33 pm

GreyWoulf

{{**Judy**}} -- and I didn't know! I have got to get back on the computer more often than I have been

9:34 pm

CiociaJudy

GW, I asked about you. Had dinner with Peri and TO.

9:34 pm

GreyWoulf

I was on Friday morning and Peri mentioned that you three had gotten together

9:35 pm

CiociaJudy

so much fun to finally meet the people you chat and babble with

9:36 pm

herinfernallady

Judy i have met Rose and hopefully Rolin and Lynxx

9:36 pm

GreyWoulf

I still want to organize the MidAtlantic Babblers convention... unfortunately I don't have the time energy or money to do it yet

9:36 pm

CiociaJudy

good for you herein. I also met Stidmama when I was out in Seattle last year

9:36 pm

CiociaJudy

GW, sounds like a great idea!

9:37 pm

herinfernallady

Grey do you have any festivals that are mind body spirit based?

9:37 pm

herinfernallady

Love to met Stid

9:37 pm

CiociaJudy

Peri, TO and I are still planning to get together again sometime in the King of Prussia area.

9:37 pm

herinfernallady

There is so many babblers i would love to met that are OS

9:37 pm

CiociaJudy

Stid is a great lady, herein. She and her family gave me a mini tour of Seattle.

9:37 pm

GreyWoulf

I am sure there are some in the area, lady -- it is more having the time and energy visit them

9:39 pm

CiociaJudy

FIREWORKS!!!! And didn't use a list!!! WOOHOO

9:39 pm

herinfernallady

We are lucky that I think twice a year we have a festival

9:40 pm

herinfernallady

Yah Judy.

9:40 pm

herinfernallady

Grey your area looks so pretty

9:42 pm

herinfernallady

GREY: Here this may help you

9:42 pm

herinfernallady

http://www.broomcloset.org/res.html

9:42 pm

GreyWoulf

I think my biggest problem at times, lady, is that I am actually very skeptical of most of the people I meet in the field

9:43 pm

lbdawger

whooooo hoooooo JUDY!!

9:43 pm

GreyWoulf

Too many of them come across as grifters, especially the socalled speakers to the dead who spend most of their time asking broad questions until they get a hit

9:43 pm

GreyWoulf

and Yayyyy for Judy!!!!

9:44 pm

herinfernallady

Oh yes Grey that is so true. That link i posted has stores in your area.

9:45 pm

GreyWoulf

Thank you lady -- I just bookmarked if for later -- Kirsten is definitely interested as she is a practicing Wiccan High Priestess

9:48 pm

herinfernallady

OH COOL Grey. There is a guy here Jason McDonald and he is a spirit medium. He got everything right when i asked him an open question 'Why did he have to die'' and he described precisely what happened and told me to enjoy christmas there was so many things said that there was no way he could have known and No he didn;t do the is there a person here that lost someone starting with B crap

9:48 pm

GreyWoulf

The other problem I have with most of the other pagans I have encountered is that too many tend to be a bit too arrogant regarding their specific path -- they have lost sight of the fact that in a religiophilosophy that embraces the uberpantheistic view that all mythological figures are legitimate foci for power demands that we have tolerant for our other pathwalkers

9:49 pm

herinfernallady

Well said Grey.

9:50 pm

GreyWoulf

That would have read better if I had actually typed tolerance instead of tolerant 8-D

9:52 pm

herinfernallady

I understand. I also think and feel that what ever your religious belief is like a painting we all see it different

9:53 pm

GreyWoulf

So who isn't finished yet? I have 31 to go here

9:54 pm

herinfernallady

Me i have 59 left and much more likeing our chat

9:54 pm

hootowl

well, well, well - look who's here!

9:54 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi mom!!

9:54 pm

hootowl

hi woulf - hi all

9:55 pm

lbdawger

alas, my friends, it's time for me to find my pillows. Woulfie, it was great to see you. hope you can come back more often.

9:55 pm

GreyWoulf

I agree, lady -- I have had many a night where I have lost the grid because of the conversation

9:55 pm

herinfernallady

Hoot Hi. You have raised a wonderful son and a man that is a wonderful husband and father

9:56 pm

herinfernallady

Night LB

9:56 pm

GreyWoulf

lbd -- I plan to do better from now on.... I have learned not to make more specific promises than that

9:56 pm

GreyWoulf

It has been great to see you as well {{**Hugs**}} and sleep well

9:57 pm

lbdawger

*poof*

9:57 pm

hootowl

Thank you! Was reading back

9:58 pm

hootowl

How about once a week?

9:58 pm

GreyWoulf

*blushes quietly in the corner*

9:58 pm

hootowl

And yes, I did call. She sounded good!

9:58 pm

herinfernallady

Had to be said Hoot.

9:59 pm

hootowl

thank you again - anyone need clues?

9:59 pm

GreyWoulf

I am hoping for more often than that, hoot -- I have decided that even if I don't look for words, I need to stay in touch with everyone

9:59 pm

hootowl

yep

10:00 pm

GreyWoulf

I am getting ready to hit the list before I ask for clues -- I prefer to keep my fish to myself ;-)

10:01 pm

hootowl

not so many fish - but plural words you wouldn't ordinarily and also double consonants where you don't expect them

10:01 pm

herinfernallady

I have just decided to turn the channel over and ignore the fact i need to vacuum

10:02 pm

GreyWoulf

That's a good idea, lady -- after all, nature abhors a vacuum

10:02 pm

hootowl

that is one chore I don't have to worry about. Clint does it!

10:02 pm

hootowl

And NOW we don't have rugs in this place! But he's a lousy sweeper!

10:02 pm

herinfernallady

Well i would vacuum but ours is broken and i can't borrow one. Damn it need to brush up stuff

10:03 pm

hootowl

try tape - easier

10:03 pm

GreyWoulf

Actually, I do it here as well, and boy does Buddy love to help --- I got the kids a toy vacuum for Xmas and he won't ever let Kristianna touch it when I am vacuuming for real

10:04 pm

herinfernallady

Oh that is sweet Grey have you seen Featherbees blog

10:04 pm

GreyWoulf

Have you taught him the trick of sweeping into a pile and then vacuuming it up with the hose?

10:04 pm

hootowl

and I'm havinr no luck with a tea set for Kris:(

10:05 pm

hootowl

Hadn't thought of that! Typical man...doesn't go under things or do corners!

10:05 pm

GreyWoulf

Don't worry about it, hoot -- we got a plastic set for her birthday so another set would be overly redundant at this time

10:05 pm

hootowl

I need a nosh!brb

10:06 pm

hootowl

Where did you find it!

10:06 pm

GreyWoulf

lady -- I wish I had more hours in the day so I could keep up with everyones blog

10:06 pm

GreyWoulf

Toys R Us

10:07 pm

GreyWoulf

The only flaw in its design is that the teapot has an oval shape so the lid always falls inside of it

10:07 pm

hootowl

figures. It's so far away I didn't even think of it!

10:10 pm

herinfernallady

OH I still have my china tea pot set as a kid

10:10 pm

sewwell

Clue for du4/6 --- the first one? And also need clues for du5/14, please.

10:11 pm

herinfernallady

Grey ill find the pic in question

10:11 pm

hootowl

du4/6 is du+double consinant

10:12 pm

sewwell

Thanks, hootowl!

10:12 pm

hootowl

I can't type worth a dam

10:12 pm

hootowl

yw

10:13 pm

GreyWoulf

hows the weather by you, hoot

10:13 pm

hootowl

the 5 uses first 3 letters of 4 + 2 more consonants

10:14 pm

GreyWoulf

We finally have dropped into comfortable temps again

10:14 pm

hootowl

Was a high of 74 today. Best it's been in weeks!

10:15 pm

GreyWoulf

similar here -- we finally got to turn off the AC here because the humidity dropped along with the temps

10:15 pm

hootowl

Ike dribbled on us but wind broe a lot of small branches. Been picking them up for past 3 days

10:16 pm

hootowl

Nuts. Humidy was in 60's! And that was deliberate!

10:17 pm

herinfernallady

GRey: this is Feathers littleone

10:17 pm

herinfernallady

http://tinyurl.com/6mz38o

10:18 pm

GreyWoulf

Yep... that is Sebastian... at least until he decides it is time for him to use the big one

10:20 pm

herinfernallady

I had to share its so awesomely cute and im sick to death of oh its girllie and pink

10:21 pm

GreyWoulf

I also am strongly against the whole idea of gender coding various activities -- if the kids are having fun, that is all that matters -- it can only make them better people in the long run

10:21 pm

herinfernallady

Grey you would be livid at the stupidity of this website aimed at girls

10:22 pm

GreyWoulf

Firewords!!!

10:23 pm

herinfernallady

Yah Grey

10:23 pm

hootowl

showoff! Told ya it wasn't that bad

10:23 pm

herinfernallady

Grey this is the media press release of the site:The age of feminism was great, but encouraged women to be like men. a new online gift store for girls aims to reverse the negativity of feminism and say to women, hey, itâ€™s great to be independent, but remember to stay girly.

10:25 pm

hootowl

It did NOT encourage them to be like men! It allowed them to be themselves!

10:25 pm

hootowl

And women still get paid less for the same jobs and usually have more work too

10:25 pm

GreyWoulf

You're right -- it wasn't as bad as it could have been

10:26 pm

herinfernallady

Yes indeed Hoot and you are right women get about 30c less than a man

10:26 pm

hootowl

They get as little as they can get away with.

10:27 pm

herinfernallady

For every $1.00 earned by a man, the average woman receives only 77 cents, while African American women only get 67 cents and Latinas receive only 57 cents.

10:27 pm

hootowl

I Have met some of these men-women. They are not well-liked and usually not even by themselves

10:28 pm

hootowl

But you gotta have dinner on the table at 6pm or else! Jealosy is a terrible thing.

10:29 pm

herinfernallady

I am off the school if you don't like it do it your self and if that doesn't suit you don't let the door hit your arse on the way out

10:29 pm

hootowl

amen!

10:29 pm

GreyWoulf

While separation of roles is a nice thing -- there is nothing in todays society which dictates which role any person should take on

10:30 pm

hootowl

well that's true in print...but not in actuality. Very few men brave enought to hire truly skilled women

10:30 pm

herinfernallady

And don't start me on Toys are us or target with the Pink isle is girls and the blue isle is boys. I played with toy guns as a kid and climbed trees and all that

10:30 pm

GreyWoulf

Do what you are best at, learn from and acknowledge those who are better than you, and guide and nurture those who know less

10:31 pm

GreyWoulf

The hardest part of the entire process is to let your ego go and admit to your own limitations

10:32 pm

hootowl

You sound like me! I was always playing with the boys. So I played boy games. When we were in Brooklyn we played lots of games and I honestly can't remember anything that gender specific except dolls.

10:33 pm

herinfernallady

I was the one at 6 that would put Barbies head on kens body and cross dress them

10:33 pm

GreyWoulf

And while teaching others to release their ego seems like a good thing, ultimately it can never happen on a societal level -- without ego there can be no competition, and without the conflict of competition there can be no advancement

10:33 pm

GreyWoulf

LOL lady

10:33 pm

hootowl

Same when we moved to the island. I can't remember when they started separating our toys.

10:34 pm

hootowl

I did go that far!hahahahah

10:34 pm

hootowl

didn't

10:34 pm

hootowl

stop preaching woulf

10:35 pm

herinfernallady

What i did. THat and when i was really small i used to eat barbies feet

10:35 pm

hootowl

good grief!

10:35 pm

GreyWoulf

don't worry -- the soapbox is getting a bit wobbly -- I have to remember when chewing the scenery, I need to leave my pulpit intact! 8-D

10:35 pm

hootowl

Couldn't you get a real binky?

10:36 pm

hootowl

Well I needed a good laugh.Clints working nights and I'm all alone!

10:36 pm

herinfernallady

I have a chewing on things thing happening

10:37 pm

hootowl

Bet you have a strong jaw too

10:37 pm

hootowl

Are you finished with babble herin?

10:38 pm

GreyWoulf

I noticed that the log was a bit quiet, so I just checked -- I wonder how many of the 76 people listed as online are really here?

10:38 pm

herinfernallady

nope haven't finished and yes i do tend to open bottles with teeth

10:39 pm

hootowl

funny - I never log out but when I check I'm not there

10:39 pm

hootowl

ouch!

10:39 pm

GreyWoulf

You are braver person than me, lady -- I have never even considered that feat

10:40 pm

hootowl

Not even with a cork

10:40 pm

herinfernallady

More fun gnawing open a pop top beer bottle. No im talking screw top bottles

10:41 pm

hootowl

double ouch

10:41 pm

herinfernallady

depends on my mood

10:41 pm

hootowl

doesn't everything?

10:42 pm

herinfernallady

I was the bitter as a child. I got suspended for biting a girl in grade six. I bit through 3 layers and drew blood. I don't let go. bit like a pit bull

10:42 pm

hootowl

omg!

10:42 pm

GreyWoulf

Not an image I would associate with you, lady.... you're dangerous!

10:42 pm

GreyWoulf

;-D

10:43 pm

hootowl

Nowadays they'd test you for rabies and lock you up!

10:43 pm

herinfernallady

Yes. Scorpio sign

10:43 pm

hootowl

arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggh! That explains it!

10:44 pm

herinfernallady

Yep.

10:45 pm

hootowl

wonder if that would be assault with a weapon or just assault with intent

10:45 pm

hootowl

No - my ex - woulfs father - is a scorpio

10:46 pm

herinfernallady

We dont have rabies here but the girl had to have a tetnus shoot

10:46 pm

GreyWoulf

OK - it has been great, but I need to get to bed -- I have a crazy week to finish here... At least I found someone who can take Kristianna to school in the am. so I just have to get her home from school

10:46 pm

herinfernallady

We dont have rabies here but the girl had to have a tetnus shot

10:46 pm

hootowl

wouldn't physically assault you but definitely play with your brain!

10:47 pm

hootowl

ok woulf - give my best to everyone and stay in touch!

10:47 pm

GreyWoulf

{{**HUGS**}} to both plus any and all lurkers who need one

10:47 pm

hootowl

That's cause teef are dirty!

10:47 pm

GreyWoulf

Will do, mom -- hugs and love from everyone here to you and Clint

10:47 pm

hootowl

Oh before I forget again. Clint said hi yesterday and today!

10:48 pm

hootowl

herinfernallady

herinfernallady

Night Grey

10:48 pm

hootowl

10:50 pm

GreyWoulf

yep, lady -- need to get my rest... I am finally beginning to admit that I can't stay up all night like I used to... especially when I have the little 'uns asking me to play with them

10:50 pm

herinfernallady

Night Wolf

10:51 pm

GreyWoulf

so one last g'nite to one and all

*poof*

10:51 pm

herinfernallady

Night night.

10:57 pm

herinfernallady

fat

10:57 pm

kje

skinny

10:58 pm

herinfernallady

Hey I have the best plan of sabotage for a friend that is being an idiot

10:58 pm

kje

what's that?

10:59 pm

hootowl

It has been great ok

11:00 pm

herinfernallady

Ok he is doing this stupid Body for LIfe thing which is eat processed bars and stuff. Were as im going to do my normal excersise and stuff and see who losses more and looks better. Might we add he always puts back the weight

11:01 pm

hootowl

Those bars have more fat & sugar than real food. I'll bet you beat him!

11:01 pm

kje

of course he does... he isn't learning to eat healthy and change his lifestyle... but he likely will lose more than you, he is a man

11:01 pm

hootowl

They'll also screw up his digestive tract.

11:01 pm

kje

in general, men lose faster due to higher muscle mass in general

11:02 pm

hootowl

But herin will always look better

11:02 pm

kje

indeed she will - and will be healthier in the long run

11:02 pm

hootowl

dam - being sucked in again - I'll be back at flip

11:02 pm

kje

plus, she has killer hair!

11:03 pm

hootowl

11:03 pm

hootowl

Don't I know it. I have frizz

11:03 pm

kje

LOL

11:03 pm

kje

I have very fine, but wavy hair

11:03 pm

herinfernallady

Thanks.

11:03 pm

herinfernallady

BLush

11:04 pm

herinfernallady

11:04 pm

hootowl

I have italian frizz curls

11:04 pm

kje

11:37 pm

nDanLia

looks like its been an exciting evening

11:39 pm

tygerbryght

hey, peeps

11:40 pm

tygerbryght

why, dan, because it's been quiet for >20 minutes? :)

11:40 pm

tygerbryght

or did I miss stuff earlier?

11:41 pm

nDanLia

just the quiet for a while, too many teeny grids in a row

11:41 pm

tygerbryght

no, this is the smallest one in a while

11:41 pm

tygerbryght

I don't consider anything over 100 as teeny :)

11:42 pm

nDanLia

wasn't there an 80 or 90 in the last few days

11:42 pm

tygerbryght

not that I recall

11:42 pm

tygerbryght

I've got to completely give up trying any grids over 200, anyway. it takes too much time, and I get too frustrated if I can't finish

11:43 pm

tygerbryght

I almost didn't finish this one - of course, I slept all morning, and was gone all afternoon, until after 7pm (same time zone as Babble)

11:43 pm

tygerbryght

and there's another game site I go to, and need to play enough to earn at least 500 points per day there

11:44 pm

tygerbryght

there has been a string of grids mostly between 100 & 200

11:48 pm

nDanLia

when today's pts register, i'll pass 500,000 pts; but last few haven't felt that much of a challenge

11:49 pm

tygerbryght

how long have you been babbling?

11:50 pm

nDanLia

few months, since the last bogglish site disappeared

11:50 pm

tygerbryght

then you're doing very well

11:52 pm

tygerbryght

I need to change my profile back to what it was before the big political brouhaha. Later.

11:56 pm

pigeonman

hi all

11:56 pm

pigeonman

What big political brouhaha Tyger?

11:56 pm

nDanLia

sleepy chat

11:57 pm

nDanLia

she was branded repub though indep; so posted voting record

11:57 pm

lshult

morning all......waiting sor the flip

11:58 pm

nDanLia

there are a few extremes from bothe sides that sometimes go a bit too far in otherwise civil but stimulating conversations

11:58 pm

pigeonman

Oh. I'm an independent also, but I am also a conservative. Therefore most people think I'm Republican. Goes with the territory.

11:59 pm

KnightTime

guessing we have a big one
