Atalante

2:40 am

sprite

good idea, lobo!

2:40 am

loredana

so right on the head Ata couldnt have put it better

2:41 am

sprite

but I want to be sure the pup is sufficiently socialised, Ata, in the weeks before we get to take him/her home. And I am in love with the breed too. So I think I am going to push the KCC :)

2:42 am

loredana

well in that case it will surely happen sprite

2:42 am

Atalante

absolutely

2:43 am

sprite

I will ask that some opportunities for raising money come our way, or some unexpected gifts or things like that. I have a good feeling about our doggie.

2:44 am

loredana

2:45 am

I'm so glad I am at work otherwise there would be a rush to the shops for chocolate digestives and I have to go to fat class tonight

3:30 am

Haz1558

You have no fear for your teeth, then, loredana?

3:30 am

loredana

3:30 am

KatieMcG

Hmmmmm not in a quandry I low gingernuts as well

3:30 am

loredana

Haz only way for them dunk

3:30 am

lynxxx

what is a chocolate digestive?

3:30 am

Haz1558

You're being saved from yourself, Katie.

3:31 am

KatieMcG

3:31 am

KatieMcG

Lol Haz I need it :-)

3:31 am

elder

katie, ummm.. cream cracker or Chocolate biscuits, I wonder which one to choose.:)

3:31 am

Haz1558

A chocolate digestive biscuit is comfort food. Take a McVities digestive biscuit, put a thin layer of milk chocolate over, let it set and then enjoy.

3:31 am

Haz1558

Well, that's Australia wiped off my places to visit. No chocolate digestives?

3:31 am

elder

haz, and the darker the better.

3:32 am

loredana

lynxxx we have them here even coles woolworths have them

3:32 am

KatieMcG

And the best biscuit in the world is called a caramel, which is the same as Haz described with a thin layer of caramel between the biscuit and the chocolate

3:32 am

elder

Not going to Australia then.

3:32 am

Haz1558

Yes, I can embrace chocolate digestives of every hue.

3:32 am

elder

Not going to Australia then.

3:32 am

3:33 am

Haz1558

You won't be disappointed, lynxxx, if you do find them.

3:33 am

loredana

3:33 am

loredana

3:34 am

loredana

3:34 am

lynxxx

3:34 am

elder

I love good shortbread with cup of tea or coffee.

3:35 am

Haz1558

I don't suppose Tunnock's Tea cakes have made it to Australia?

3:35 am

loredana

Havent seen them yet Haz but Western Australia has a very high ratio of Brits so will check it out at the Brit Shop

3:35 am

elder

3:36 am

KatieMcG

Well I've hit 100 words so must go to do some work.........Tunnock's factory is right by my Aunts I love the tea cakes but there caramel biscuits are absolutely fantastic and I like the ones with coconut on top (you know the ball of choc with white in the middle)

3:36 am

lynxxx

3:38 am

Haz1558

3:41 am

loredana

elder do you have a liquidizer?

3:42 am

Haz1558

But you'll stick to soft drinks, won't you?

3:42 am

loredana

liquidized shortbread and tunnocks tea cakes

3:42 am

elder

lore.. no she is English but came form a long line of good cooks.. I stopped the tradition.

3:42 am

loredana

my mum is from Scotland elder

3:42 am

elder

Haz, oh yes.

3:43 am

elder

Lore.. lol. I bet some people would think liquid and put so much food in their stomachs, thinking its liquid.

3:44 am

Haz1558

That's good! (sorry, I was outside supervising Spangle)

3:44 am

elder

Lore ask you Mum to send you some short bread. it would be worth the wait..

3:44 am

loredana

shes out in the rain?

3:45 am

Haz1558

Yes. Needs must.

3:45 am

elder

Haz, I expect he is snuffling around, tail wagging at a tremendous speed.

3:46 am

Haz1558

But if she'd just do her business and come inside again, it would be fine. But no, she feels the need to go through the bushes in order to achieve maximum wetness.

3:46 am

loredana

is Spangle a boy sorry Spangle

3:46 am

elder

the more rain for Spaniels the better.

3:46 am

loredana

oh Spangle is a girl then

3:46 am

Haz1558

Yes, Spangle is a she.

3:47 am

elder

Boy or girls they love getting wet and sharing the wetness around.

3:47 am

loredana

Got to go check things out see if anything is lurking in her territory Haz

3:47 am

Haz1558

I know. I compare taking Spangle on a walk on a wet day to walking beside a car wash roller.

3:48 am

elder

Haz.. yes I know that feeling..

3:48 am

Haz1558

That's the problem, loredana. Next door's cats keep coming in and birds have the cheek to enter her territory as well.

3:49 am

lynxxx

this is a lot of words to find with no S

3:50 am

elder

Lynxx, just slip one in , no one will notice.

3:50 am

Haz1558

Well, look on the bright side - no snakes.

3:50 am

lynxxx

lol

3:50 am

loredana

three main endings in there lynxxx

3:56 am

lynxxx

I see ki4.8 & al5.16 are right near each other, guess that would answer the age old question

3:56 am

loredana

soory was it somehting I said or has everyone gone to look for the three endings?

3:56 am

Haz1558

No, I was just concentrating on finding words.

3:57 am

elder

looking forwords.

3:57 am

loredana

looks like i better go back to the grid too look at those typos disgusting lol

3:58 am

loredana

you mighty think I might be dyslexic..... I used to be but I am KO now lol

3:59 am

elder

Lore :)

3:59 am

Haz1558

You mean what's underneath, lynxxx?

3:59 am

lynxxx

yep

4:00 am

Haz1558

I suppose a windy day in Scotland would be an eye-opener.

4:00 am

loredana

Haz lol

4:00 am

ardilla

4:00 am

Haz1558

Hello ardilla.

4:00 am

Haz1558

Good morning FMitch - yes, it is indeed.

4:13 am

lynxxx

morning FM

4:14 am

elder

Hello FMitch... yes its gushing.

4:15 am

FMitch

and I just got an email from a client who want to do a conference call at 10.30 so myst go again, it's been like that all morning.

4:15 am

Haz1558

You're a woman in demand - think of the money!

4:15 am

loredana

ok FM see you next time

4:17 am

elder

bye for now FMitch.

4:22 am

Atalante

*yawn* back from soggy doggy walk

4:23 am

loredana

wow that was a big walk

4:23 am

Haz1558

Welcome back. Eau de doggy soggy will never make it in the perfume stakes, will it?

4:23 am

Atalante

at least she's not a labrador :)

4:24 am

lynxxx

hi Ata!

4:24 am

Haz1558

Are they the worst?

4:24 am

ardilla

hi ata

4:24 am

Atalante

hi lynxxx and stewart!

4:24 am

elder

hello Ata. so your now refreshed.

4:24 am

Atalante

4:24 am

ardilla

hi ata

4:24 am

Atalante

hi ardilla!

4:24 am

ardilla

lagggggggggg

4:25 am

Haz1558

You'll probably get indignant labrador owners protesting. Mind you, Lizsark could tell us.

4:26 am

Atalante

I think Oscar will always win in any wet / dirty / soggy / naughty stakes!

4:27 am

Haz1558

I think so. She should write a book about him and try to recoup some of the expenses.

4:27 am

ardilla

1/4 done!

4:27 am

lynxxx

isn't he the one who took up cliff diving as a new sport?

4:27 am

Atalante

absolutely!

4:28 am

Haz1558

The very one, lynxxx - and no safety net either.

4:29 am

Haz1558

If she wrote a book, people might come to Sark to see Oscar 'If you write it, they will come' (said in ghostly voice)

4:31 am

Atalante

I think they would!

4:32 am

elder

ooohh, scary.

4:33 am

Haz1558

Is LIzsark still preparing for Peru? I haven't seen her on much lately.

4:34 am

loredana

all over Red Rover and not Coronation St

4:34 am

lynxxx

Congrats Lore!

4:34 am

loredana

Good luck Elder will be thinking of you and you come back to babble a new girl hugs

4:34 am

Atalante

i think so

4:34 am

loredana

havent seen Liz for some time

4:35 am

Haz1558

Congratulations loredana.

4:35 am

loredana

thanks lynxxx

4:35 am

lynxxx

I've seen her briefly Haz but she hasn't spoken of it while I have been on

4:35 am

loredana

thanks Haz

4:35 am

Haz1558

We'll have to make a point of looking for her and asking lots of questions.

4:36 am

elder

Well done! Lore.

4:36 am

loredana

well theres nobody here who would need my help I am the junior in babble that is so I will be off to round up the kids

4:36 am

Haz1558

(We've obviously got loredana well fooled)

4:37 am

elder

Lore, thank you, but staying for just a few minutes more.

4:37 am

elder

::

4:37 am

lynxxx

4:37 am

Haz1558

4:37 am

loredana

4:38 am

loredana

4:38 am

Haz1558

hurshy is going to have a field day with her proper nouns thing. There's everybody from Hitler to Rocket man John.

4:39 am

Atalante

ooooo yes

4:40 am

elder

Bye for now Lore:)

4:40 am

Haz1558

I'm starting to get distracted with it - Sherlock Holmes' creator is partly there as well.

4:41 am

Atalante

yay! 99 left!

4:41 am

elder

Is that distraction Haz, or entering obsessiveness.

4:42 am

Haz1558

It's distraction. As if I could ever be obsessed by anything or anyone. Anybody seen George recently?

4:42 am

Atalante

there's a french film star in there too

4:42 am

LoriP

***comes up gasping for air*** 75 after the first sweep. Lovin' the grid.

4:43 am

LoriP

Hey, another Ata Hari sighting! :p

4:43 am

Haz1558

I wondered where you were, Lori.

4:43 am

elder

Hands LoriP oxygen mask... breath slowly.

4:43 am

Atalante

I'm really here and back now :)

4:43 am

LoriP

Somehow, I got distracted by those things.... <---------

4:44 am

LoriP

Thanks elder!

4:44 am

Haz1558

We could almost have Tolkien.

4:44 am

elder

Haz, you mean, you did not bump into him in London.. that's not what we heard.. de de ...

4:45 am

elder

LorIP icon :)

4:45 am

Haz1558

Believe me, if George had been in London, I'd have found an excuse to stay...

4:46 am

LoriP

Haz would have missed her flight umpteen times.

4:46 am

Atalante

I see ... so you'd stay for George and not wait an extra hour to see me *sniff*

4:46 am

LoriP

*** uh oh, somebody has some fence mending to do***

4:47 am

Haz1558

My powers of inventive excuses would have had to come into play. 'No dear, I don't like the sound of that flight.' 'No dear, that captain has a shifty look'

4:47 am

Atalante

*giggles* only paying her back for a comment yesterday!

4:47 am

Haz1558

Lori, you missed out on the HUGE news that Ata met David Tennant (current Dr Who) on Saturday night. I'm being kind and thinking of it as compensation for missing out on meeting me.

4:48 am

Haz1558

I don't know what my compensation is for not meeting Ata though...

4:49 am

Atalante

hmmm .... good question

4:49 am

lynxxx

as cute & likeable in person Ata?

4:49 am

Atalante

more!

4:50 am

LoriP

lol, compensation? Litigation can't be far off.

4:50 am

elder

Ata.. did he whisk you away to another time/galaxy?.

4:50 am

Atalante

and he's *much* better looking in real life

4:50 am

Haz1558

Was he wearing a ki4?

4:50 am

elder

LoriP .. * giggles*

4:50 am

Haz1558

Since he is Scottish and all.

4:50 am

elder

and is it true what they say.....

4:50 am

Atalante

nooooo. I wish. a black suit.

4:50 am

Atalante

I didn't get to meet him *that* much!!

4:51 am

Haz1558

Compensation? Now there's a thought.... injury to feelings, loss of self-esteem. I could have issues which will take YEARS to get over.

4:51 am

Atalante

don't worry haz, you can tell us about the issues for months

4:52 am

elder

See you all later . Bye for now. Happy Hunting.

4:52 am

LoriP

Repeatedly Haz, as the damage is lasting.

4:52 am

Atalante

just wait till you get walter's virus ...

4:52 am

Haz1558

See you elder - hope all goes well!

4:52 am

LoriP

Later elder! ***hugs***

4:53 am

lynxxx

Bye Elder - see you again soon, hope it goes very well for you XX

4:53 am

LoriP

We may possibly have that virus here in Canada.

4:53 am

elder

Thank you all. Bye.

4:53 am

Haz1558

The Californian Canadian virus?

4:53 am

LoriP

***couldn't restrain myself, and whaps elder with a pillow on her way out the door***

4:54 am

Haz1558

I read in the paper yesterday that the Brisbane flu virus may be on its way. You know it's serious when Hugh Pennington gets wheeled in to comment.

4:54 am

LoriP

We just call it the NAFTA virus, since have a trade deal.

4:55 am

LoriP

Ooh, accidentally found a word. 74 to go.

4:55 am

Haz1558

lynxxx - can you shed any light on the Brisbane flu virus?

4:55 am

Atalante

*barricades Kent from the virus*

4:56 am

Haz1558

You should order some of those masks Atalante - one of the funniest sights on holiday in Tanzania was a minibusload of Japanese tourists with masks on against the dust!

4:56 am

lynxxx

I'm out of the loop Haz...the onlky one I have heard of is MRP's the Pilgrim Viurus, she blames itt on Yanks who came here for the World Youth Conference - ?? not sure f same thing

4:57 am

Atalante

lmao I bet!

4:57 am

Haz1558

Trust the Americans. They want to share everything.

4:58 am

Haz1558

I must look up the article again. It made it sound like Doomsday, but then news articles don't like to understate things.

4:58 am

Atalante

even their financial crises

4:58 am

LoriP

Okay kids, time to send the spawnlings merrily off to school, back later.

4:59 am

lynxxx

BBL going to watch some good shows on the box. In Treatment (with Aussie ex soap star Melissa George who is v v god) - The Riches - To The Manor Bowen. See you all later

4:59 am

Atalante

brb too. I need tea.

5:00 am

Haz1558

See you later, lynxxx. Yes, the Brisband virus apparently ravaged Australia in 2007 causing over 800 deaths in New South Wales from pneumonia.

5:01 am

Haz1558

Brisbane..

5:01 am

Haz1558

So now you know, lynxxx!

5:01 am

Eva

Now wait a second folks-just think of all the wonderful things we have shared with you ....MacDonalds, our esteemed president. financial crisis, unrelenting greed and materialism, global warming (oh well we can all take credit for that one). What more could you want?

5:02 am

Haz1558

We are an ungrateful people, indeed, Eva. How could we forget the gift of McDonalds?

5:02 am

Eva

Good morning. Woke up in a really cheerful mood as you can probably tell.

5:03 am

Atalante

back

5:03 am

Haz1558

I can tell. They're not exactly cheery times, are they?

5:03 am

Eva

You Canadians had better fortify the borders. Especially if Palin becomes our VP, we'll be coming over!

5:04 am

Eva

Great Britain sometimes cheers me up a bit, since you guys have done almost as well as we have.

5:05 am

Haz1558

So that's Kent fortified against the Brisbane virus and Canada ringfenced against the Americans. Any other borders to be tightened up?

5:06 am

Eva

The borders against rampant greed, ignorance and fear?

5:06 am

Haz1558

We'll need a specialist team to work on that.

5:06 am

Atalante

the UK against Oscar?

5:06 am

Eva

I can feel a rant coming on....time for some deep breathing.

5:08 am

Haz1558

You can always type a rant, and then delete it. That gets it out of your system but doesn't get kept for posterity.

5:08 am

Haz1558

I type and delete a lot.

5:08 am

Haz1558

Once I stop sitting on my hands,that is.

5:09 am

Eva

I have a lot of things like that in my drafts box. But mainly lost of meditation practice these days.

5:09 am

Haz1558

Much calmer!

5:10 am

Haz1558

Anyway, I must go and get some work done around here. The coast is clear, so no chiding from Lori for doing the ironing. If I can't keep the wrinkles from my face, at least I can get rid of them in my clothes!

5:10 am

Haz1558

See you later!

5:10 am

Atalante

looool. have fun!

5:10 am

Eva

bye Haz

5:11 am

Eva

5:11 am

Haz1558

Bye!

5:54 am

NonoNanette

Lori--I was worried about you with Hurricane Kyle. Did you get hit at all?

6:15 am

LoriP

Scrabbler, at our exact location, it was moderate at best, we were very lucky it shifted a bit at the last minute. Caused a lot of nuisance further up shore though.

6:18 am

Scrabbler

I am glad you are OK, Lori!!

Aloyisius

hee hee.. good bet, carlee

6:38 am

Eva

the thing is carlee, it won't matter to those who are ready to vote for her anyway. rationality seems to have almost nothing to do with what American voters do

6:39 am

Aloyisius

that's what scares me, Eva

6:39 am

carleekat

yea...but it is better entertainment then the crap new shows this season

6:39 am

redturtlehead

There is a bio in my icon. She is was really great. My Dad got to meet her and was also veryinspired.

6:39 am

Eva

All she has to do is keep repeating the same lies they've been repeating, over and over - and many take them as truth

6:40 am

redturtlehead

I am amazed at the people who are voting republican with the current meltdown of the markets from the policies of dereg etc.... though I do not think it is all Republicans "fault".

6:40 am

Eva

good reason to be scared aloy. Or realistic anyway. Fear doesn't do us much good.

6:40 am

FMitch

Ah missed the boi, will have a r4 of it later

6:40 am

carleekat

perhaps biden's history of womanizing will aid him..he knows how to "handle" a woman... and will lay her out for the buzzards

6:41 am

inge

Just coming up for air and want to add a question:

6:41 am

carleekat

hi there inge...long time no see dear {{hugs}}

Shana Tova to everyone. May it be a year of greater sanity, compassion and wisdom.

Did either McCain or Obama show leadership qualities during lat weekends crisis? Neither of them got their party in line for or against.

6:42 am

carleekat

***volley of spitballs at lorip*** ...you dropped the cloaking device lori!

6:42 am

Aloyisius

I'll second that, Eva!

6:42 am

redturtlehead

THis is true. I think both have been advised to hedge their bets and try to claim to be on the "winning side"

6:43 am

carleekat

but far more dems voted yea then republicans.....

6:43 am

inge

After being insulted by Pelosi

6:43 am

carleekat

I think about 130 ish dems voted yea..and only about 65 GOPs voted yea

6:43 am

redturtlehead

My vote is still for Obama. that McCain Palin team is scarey.

6:43 am

Haz1558

Why is it that everyone claims to be tired of the election and its issues and yet it still gets talked about endlessly?

hi, all. Just wondering: does a person have to be an ea4/4 to ea4/4 a lot of mo5/12 as a mo5/14, and would one need to wear a ho4/6 made on a lo4/5 to be a success at it?

6:50 am

redturtlehead

My bank was bought out, so according to the new buyer everything is "as it was" and yes, we have federal iunsurance for 100K so I dont have that much, but it is very unsettling, I dont know who owns my mortgage right now...

6:50 am

LoriP

Oh, i wish FM! 6 n's.... Still 55 to go, and Lickety whispers in my ear.

6:51 am

6:51 am

FMitch

Thats still good going.

hi, all. I've just updated the Stats page for September. We had the largest grid for the year to date on September 7, surpassing the previous largest grid from back in February.

Over half way! I am now going to stop for a bit.

8:49 am

Judi

OBX? Is that the Outer Banks, Eva?

8:49 am

EvaNadine

yes, judi! beach time for me!

8:50 am

Judi

Lucky you! I've never been. My nephew has a house there. I can check with him. However, it would probably be easier and faster to search "Outer Banks dining".

ra4/5 is the South African currency.

10:46 am

BerniceQ

can i get a clue for either i word?

10:47 am

kje

maybe it is all the recent storms... making people aware they need coverage... you know, the same way that AFTER you are broken into, you realize the value of a good security system : )

10:47 am

Haz1558

Hello Bernice - ik4/8 - looks like i plus a misspelled feline, il4/8 - il plus the start of that same misspelling.

11:25 am

Haz1558

stid, you shock me. Most mature students back when I was at unversity put the rest of us young things to shame with their enthusiasm. Has all that changed?

11:26 am

stidmama

no, very enthusiastic, but as post-bac student, the lectures geared to the freshmen and sophomores are redundant and BORING.

11:27 am

stidmama

ah. half the people in the class are new.

11:27 am

stidmama

gotta go...

11:27 am

Haz1558

See you later!

No class, I actually wrote the paper specifically for conference submission. I was a history major then, but I will admit to having gone to Westtown Friends in high school.

1:06 pm

redturtlehead

which is how I knew about him. A very persuasive person. Non-violent, and had courage of conviction.

1:07 pm

Vicuna

Oh, yes of course, redturtle. Does Westtown require being "admitted" to? lol

KimS

I have checked the link - but until I understand the "code" everyone uses - - it's all greek to me... I don't "get it"... <groan>

1:28 pm

wickdsmaht

And we know that those words exist using Lickety's Babble Clues, which is linked below the grid.

1:28 pm

FMitch

ar5 = a + not pretend

1:28 pm

ChrissieDee

1:28 pm

Vicuna

ar6 - colored part around nipple

1:28 pm

Vicuna

ar7 - adj form of ar6

1:30 pm

KimS

I really am trying -but seem to be a little thick for this "code" for some reason - - think I just have to find the 1 person who can say it the way my brain thinks <chuckle>

1:31 pm

redturtlehead

1:31 pm

KimS

1:32 pm

KimS

I got the A6 clue - -:o) Thanks!

1:32 pm

FMitch

Evening Becca

1:32 pm

mom2han8

Kim S... it is the first two letters + the point value of the word (each letter has a point value and then there is some multiplier due to word length.. don't really know myself)... that's it.

1:32 pm

redturtlehead

Hi Becca

1:32 pm

FMitch

Yay!!

1:32 pm

Becca Lorum

ah, the joys of a sleeping baby - babble in peace!

KimS

1:37 pm

i've learned how to use Expert and a regular window when doing these big grids to avoid Expert lag

5:39 pm

pugmama763

5:40 pm

BzznBea

I could hardly do the grid on Sunday the lag was so bad.

5:40 pm

dcseain

5:40 pm

dcseain

so i babble in a regular window

5:40 pm

dcseain

then refresh babble in Expert

5:40 pm

dcseain

then send wonds to clues

5:40 pm

pugmama763

it's annoying but the convenience of expert is well worth it I feel

5:41 pm

dcseain

gets me a list and minimal lag

5:41 pm

pugmama763

whatever gets ya through the night dear! :)

5:43 pm

pugmama763

the only time the word load lag bugs me is at flip when I'm finding them fast & furious

5:47 pm

5:48 pm

5:51 pm

icepyro

I cant wait for that comedy

5:51 pm

dcseain

VERY true, pug. do you know what time? I'll need to be sure to be by a radio

5:52 pm

pugmama763

hi Dorens

5:55 pm

dcseain

hi, dorens

5:55 pm

lynxxx

hi Dorens

5:55 pm

dcseain

several conserv writers who supported at first have said she should step aside, too, esp in the last week.

5:56 pm

Dorens

i know. isn't it exciting?

5:56 pm

lil*monkey

does anyone have the bottom right hand corner R word?

5:56 pm

Dorens

even if she does step down, it should reflect terribly on mcC for having chosen her... such a blatant political move without considering what is best for the nation

5:56 pm

dcseain

I heard an interview with Gov Tim Kaine of VA today on WTOP, who spoke to the VP selection process, contrasting the two cands.

5:56 pm

lil*monkey

5:57 pm

pugmama763

too late for that Dorens it already reflects badly....

5:57 pm

dcseain

ty, lil* you closed out my Fs with your question :)

5:57 pm

dcseain

i agree, pug

5:58 pm

Dorens

i refuse to be embarasssed for her. she is acting like the pitbull with lipstick she says she is... meanspirited. and i agree pug, i just hope that if she does pull out, people don't forget

5:59 pm

icepyro

well i think anytime saturday night live can mock an interview and not have to change the answers to the questions that were given, that says something

5:59 pm

dcseain

i feel no need to be embarrassed for her, she is who she is.

5:59 pm

wildcat17

6:00 pm

6:00 pm

some of what she said at her convention speech was pretty meanspirited. and some of what I've read about her vindictiveness to anyone who opposes her....

6:00 pm

6:15 pm

LuwandaHL

6:16 pm

LuwandaHL

6:16 pm

LuwandaHL

I'm not trying to persuade anyone

6:17 pm

redturtlehead

you gotta drink a lot of milk. it isnt just the Ho...

LuwandaHL

6:21 pm

that phrase always made me gag!

6:21 pm

6:21 pm

lil*monkey

LOL dcseain

6:21 pm

LuwandaHL

my grandmother used to ask if I was sick and not well - with a smile

6:22 pm

redturtlehead

I must admit right now I am watching the nightly business report, I guess I am worried about finances.

6:22 pm

jillibus

don't blame you, red

6:22 pm

lil*monkey

my grandmother and great=aunt (her sister) used to tsk tsk tsk when they found out i went swimming while having my period

6:22 pm

redturtlehead

People seem to be rpetending this isnt happening, but a lot of people are losing a lot of cash...

6:22 pm

dcseain

it is scary what's going on. Jill, how, to your memory, does this compare to the 30s?

6:23 pm

redturtlehead

I should check my statements, but I am afraid to look,

6:23 pm

dcseain

it's happening, and scary, and i'm very grateful for my gov't job

6:23 pm

dcseain

ooh, thunderstorm :)

6:23 pm

LuwandaHL

my dad has been predicting this

6:24 pm

redturtlehead

CUrious what jilli has to say???

6:24 pm

LuwandaHL

he's "just" an old farmer

6:24 pm

GroovyKiwi

it is having effects over here too

6:24 pm

jillibus

I was only 3 in 1930, dc, lol! Seriously, we were in Chaina and things were different there. I vaguely remember my dad showing me charts in the paper but they didn't mean much to me except that I think he said we were lucky we were not involved.

6:25 pm

LuwandaHL

my dad was in his teens

6:25 pm

pugmama763

anyone not living under a rock could have predicted this! Thanks Mr. Bush et al!

6:25 pm

dcseain

yes, i knew you were young, but i still thought you'd have some frame of reference. ty

6:25 pm

redturtlehead

I'm a bit worried about my Parents investments...they retired early and I dont think either one wants to go back to work again.

6:25 pm

dcseain

my mother is worried about her investments. Esp since she's with Wachovia.

6:26 pm

redturtlehead

Oh yeah... I have everythingn with Wachovia. but I thinkn things will be safe.

6:27 pm

jillibus

I remember later in the USA, 1940, my ultra-right-wing Southern Republican uncle raging about FDR and the CCC and the NRA (National Recovery Act or something, not the rifle lot) but my NY aunts and also-Southern uncle loved FDR

6:27 pm

redturtlehead

And the CCC really did some interesting things for the country, in retrospect.

6:28 pm

dcseain

the CCC built really nice concrete outhouses for my family in rural Ohio.

6:28 pm

LuwandaHL

lots of dams

6:28 pm

icepyro

wachovia sold its banking (deposits/checking/etc) not its investing so while its going to dip a bit, they are thinking its going to be ok

6:29 pm

dcseain

WPA paved their roads back then, too.

6:29 pm

jillibus

I think the Taconic State Parkway in NY was CCC-built, and said uncle raged about the expense and the beautiful rest areas.

6:29 pm

dcseain

yes, ice i tried to tell my mom that, but she'd rather worry.

6:29 pm

jillibus

ah yes, WPA...

6:30 pm

LuwandaHL

it's difficult not to worry

6:31 pm

dcseain

indeed so, Luwanda.

6:31 pm

LuwandaHL

my stuff is all over and i won't be retiring for at least 3 years and I don't have to then

6:31 pm

LuwandaHL

I try not to worry because it's waisted energy

6:32 pm

LuwandaHL

i'm not wearing rose colored glasses

6:32 pm

jillibus

wise, Lu

6:32 pm

dcseain

makes sense, luwanda

6:33 pm

LuwandaHL

i'm aware of the situation but the best i can in my little world to make it better

6:33 pm

pugmama763

6:35 pm
