3:16 am

loredana

good morning Sprite off to see what wonderful icon you have for us hugs before i go see

3:16 am

westford

I was just wondering where you were

3:16 am

sprite

love yours, lobo! My daughter's full name is Isis Caya :)

3:17 am

loredana

Princess that is so beautiful took my breath away

3:17 am

sprite

thank you lobo :)

3:18 am

westford

I agree and what a beautiful name for your daughter

3:18 am

loredana

Sprite I had not forgotten Cayas name Isis has always been my fav hugs for Isis Caya and her Mum

3:18 am

sprite

thank you west :)

3:18 am

westford

is caya also a goddess?

3:19 am

westford

I mean the name of one

3:19 am

sprite

caya comes from Gaya or Gaia, which is a name for Mother Earth, our planet as a living, nurturing being.

3:19 am

westford

I see so lovely

3:19 am

loredana

was she not the Queen of Spring? Sprite

3:20 am

sprite

she is :D Lovely and a loving heart on legs, my girl.

3:20 am

loredana

just like her mum hey

3:20 am

sprite

could be, lobo, never heard that is one of her forms, but it may very well be.

3:21 am

unithorn

strafe

3:21 am

sprite

much better than her mum.

3:21 am

westford

sprite how could she help it with you for her mother

3:21 am

westford

thanks uni but I already had that one lol

3:21 am

unithorn

Bah. Damn clicking-in-wrong-box syndrome. Cheers. Lovely name, by the way.

3:21 am

sprite

some souls are already so beautiful when they are born. Best you can do for them is try and not ruin anything.

3:22 am

sprite

lol unithorn, it happens, a lot, don't feel bad. This site doesn't have a very logical lay-out in that aspect.

3:22 am

westford

so true and some are old souls come round again

3:23 am

sprite

some really 'feel' old to me to, west, indeed.

3:23 am

westford

sprite what's the news on the puppy front?

3:24 am

sprite

our lady dog Dana still royally refuses to start being in heat, lol. She has never been late thus far, and now she is almost 2 months late. I swear she feels we are all waiting for it to happen and doesn't like the tension, hehehehe.

3:25 am

westford

that's probably true but it will be worth the wait

3:26 am

sprite

oh yes, I don't mind. Am not in a hurry and can use a bit more time to save more money. And yes, it will be worth the wait. She is so adorable and the father is beautiful and even-tempered too.

3:26 am

loredana

sure will sprite and Dana is going to do it in her time not yours maybe thats her way of telling you not thr right time yet for such a special puppy lol

3:26 am

westford

could she already be expecting???

3:28 am

sprite

I don't know, west, the thought has crossed my mind. But the breeder checks the ladies (she has 3) every day now for (what is the good word) starting to be in heat and has done so from the time they usually do. So it is not likely.

3:28 am

sprite

I think so too, lobo, lol!

3:29 am

westford

when was her last litter?

3:30 am

sprite

2 years ago, I believe.

3:30 am

westford

oh so she's more than ready

3:30 am

loredana

that dog she has half my name if shes anything like me she will not listen to anyone and do it in her own time lol

3:31 am

sprite

lobo, can you believe I had not even noticed that??? Too true. Another great omen :D

3:31 am

loredana

nor me until now

3:31 am

westford

some breeders just don't wait long enough between litters and that's hard on the mothers

3:31 am

westford

I didn't notice either just thought maybe she was from Denmark

3:33 am

sprite

west, yes, the breeder doesn't breed them often at all. Dana wasn't even the one who was going to be the mother of our puppy, but was put forward because she scored perfectly in all the test, no inbred faults at all. So it seemed a good idea to let her have healthy puppies.

3:34 am

westford

that's going to be a very happy little puppy are you still planning to name it Terra?

3:36 am

sprite

this breeder is not even a professional one, although she handles everything very professionally with her dogs. She is a doted lover of the breed and loves to have an occasional litter. She follows all the rules, her puppies are free of all inbred faults and handicaps, and she does a great job with socialising them.

3:36 am

sprite

yes, we still love Terra for a name.

3:37 am

westford

the dog owner sounds perfect and Terra goes with Caya's name doesn't it?

3:38 am

sprite

very much so, west :)

3:38 am

westford

are you hoping for a boy or girl?

3:38 am

lynxxx

I met a beaglier the other day Sprite. Markings of a Cavalier, but body of a small beagle. Cute puppy but not going to be an attractive adult. Too round unlike a cavalier

3:39 am

sprite

I don't care much one way or the other. Just want the pup that is right for us.

3:39 am

sprite

sounds like one that would be easy to love though, lyn!

3:41 am

westford

my cousin once had a dog that was 1/2 German Shepherd (Alsatian) and half basset hound it was the funniest dog you've ever seen had the body of a Shepherd and the short stubby legs of a basset

3:41 am

sprite

aw west that sounds cute too.

3:42 am

westford

his name was Orpheus

3:42 am

sprite

aw, a greek God :D

3:42 am

loredana

there was a dog exctaly the same in NZ he was alastian/corgi I used to feel so sorry for him

3:43 am

westford

they probably looked the same

3:43 am

sprite

was he unhapppy then, lobo?

3:43 am

westford

all the other dogs made fun of him ?

3:44 am

unithorn

German Shepherd + coon hound = insanely intelligent animal with dark shepherd markings, but with floppy ears. One of my favorite dogs.

3:44 am

loredana

i didnt know him personally used to see him when I was on the bus going to work, he looked happy enough

3:45 am

westford

we had a dog just like that uni his name was Band-Aid

3:45 am

sprite

aw unithorn, that sounds beautiful

3:45 am

loredana

unithorn love your icon

3:47 am

sprite

lol lobo... why?

3:47 am

unithorn

Cutie, for sure. Had a quirky, almost dopey look to her face, and fooled everyone that way forever. My family used to raise huskies, and I've seen some beautiful dogs through that, but one of my favorites was a Shepherd/Rott. I've never encountered a dog that trained as quickly or that could retain quite so much. Sorry about the icon and interjecting in your conversation...I'm new here.

3:48 am

loredana

cause unicorn is there

3:48 am

loredana

4:02 am

loredana

4:02 am

unithorn

4:02 am

LoriP

***glares at lore's smugocity at having completed a's***

4:03 am

LoriP

unithorn, THEY'RE as bad as they seem. Not me though. :p

4:03 am

4:03 am

unithorn

I'm sure, Lori *grins* That's okay, I'm much worse that I seem - I mean...ah, crap. Oh well. Might as well get that out of the way.

4:03 am

sprite

lol, you will fit right in, unithorn. We know that feeling. It gets easier to handle all the time.
*turns back to washing machine*

4:04 am

sprite

nope, Lori is even worse. But always in denial.

4:16 am

LoriP

G'd morning FM, ursh

4:16 am

unithorn

Oh! Bah! I didn't realize there was more than one letter "e" down there, I made the stupid assumption that it was merely accounting for the letters of the alphabet involved. Oi. My mistake, thank you!

Haz1558

Whose idea was this shake-up?

5:38 am

Atalante

some mad, insane person

5:38 am

KatieMcG

We are moving from one quango into a newly set up one on 1st December and this is part of it :-( I've waiting for my boss to not be able to shop on line then we will see the other side of her face

5:38 am

Haz1558

Not Mandelson?

5:38 am

FMitch

lol

5:39 am

Haz1558

Oooh, Mrs Katie awaits her revenge.....

5:39 am

Atalante

we can always blame him. he's like FM

5:39 am

KatieMcG

No our new minister is Margaret Beckett

5:40 am

Haz1558

I don't know what it is about Margaret Beckett - she makes an effort to get dressed up and still manages to get it wrong.

5:41 am

Atalante

she does have strange taste

5:41 am

Haz1558

She just never looks right. Maybe it's having to get dressed in a caravan that does it.

5:41 am

KatieMcG

We had Caroline Flint before who was really beautiful, I think Margaret is good enough at her job not to have to compete on looksn

5:41 am

KatieMcG

A caravan?

5:41 am

Haz1558

Oh yes. She's terribly fond of her caravan. She has Irish Traveller roots. Come to think of it, that may explain a lot.

5:42 am

KatieMcG

Lol we will have the policy for travellers in the new agency

5:43 am

Haz1558

I know, it's not fair to pick on her looks when it's the ability to do the job that matters. It just surprises me that with Blair being so strong on image, they didn't manage to get a look for her that worked.

5:44 am

FMitch

Maybe this is the 'after' did we see the 'before'?

5:44 am

Haz1558

That's a fair point, FMitch.

5:45 am

KatieMcG

Ruth Kelly was the same. I never wear makeup to work as the men don't have to, just be smart & clean, maybe it's a matter of principle of not trying?

5:45 am

Haz1558

Katie - the caravan thing has to do with her fondness for caravan holidays. The joke was that when she holidayed, the police cars on her tail formed a huge queue.

5:46 am

Haz1558

The men don't have to wear make-up? Maybe that will change now as well.

5:46 am

KatieMcG

Lol, I don't get caravan holidays, I'm sure they are great for some but not for me

5:46 am

Atalante

horrid horrid holidays!

5:46 am

Haz1558

Some people are devoted to them.

5:46 am

KatieMcG

We do a nice line in middle aged middle class white alpha males, I can't see the makeup thing talking off

5:47 am

Haz1558

It sounds like the Diversity Police should get stuck in to your work colleagues.

5:47 am

Atalante

I used to have to spend nearly every nice weekend in our family caravan as a kid. Yuk. Hated it

5:47 am

KatieMcG

It just seems so much effort for so little reward, seeing people balancing them up before they leave for the 19 hour trip down the M5

5:48 am

KatieMcG

We have been trying on diversity, I've been on a Women in Management programme for a couple of years, it has been great training

5:49 am

Haz1558

I'd rather stay at home than do all that packing, but others love the freedom to be on the move (except on the M25)

5:49 am

Atalante

our caravan was stuck in one very boring spot. gah. it was awful

5:49 am

Haz1558

So, when the hard times hit, there'll be diversity in adversity.

5:50 am

KatieMcG

The men have really objected to it saying it was discrimination but I have pointed out that their sex wasn't the reason they haven't promoted it was because they were cr** ;-)

5:50 am

FMitch

I stayed in a caravan for 2 weeks once in France, not too bad esp as St Emillion was just up the road :)

5:50 am

Haz1558

Why Katie. Could you not have couched it in kinder terms?

5:50 am

FMitch

lol Katie

5:51 am

Haz1558

'Face it, boys, I'm better'

5:51 am

KatieMcG

They started the conversation by asking how my knitting classes were going, so no nicer terms were not the order of the day :-)

5:51 am

Haz1558

And how are your knitting classes going?

5:52 am

KatieMcG

LOL haz, actually before wool because more expensive than gold I used to knit, I obviously didn't share this with them ;-)

5:53 am

Haz1558

Has wool got very expensive? I haven't bought any for a long time.

5:53 am

FMitch

Extreemly!

5:54 am

Haz1558

Oh gosh. I'm saving so much money and I didn't know it.

5:54 am

Atalante

how odd

5:54 am

KatieMcG

the last jumper I knitted I worked out that I could have bought 3 ready made for the same price and much less effort

5:54 am

Atalante

you need your own sheep and spinning wheel

5:54 am

FMitch

Ther eyou can go out today and treat yourself with all the money you have saved :)

5:54 am

Haz1558

Seriously, Katie? That's amazing.

5:55 am

KatieMcG

I also use to do cross stitch and that is really expensive as well, but it was worth it for stress release

5:55 am

Haz1558

Is there any explanation for the jump in price? World sheep shortage?

5:55 am

Atalante

is that 3 jumpers made by whipped kids in India though, or fair practices jumpers?

5:55 am

FMitch

It will be the same for dress making too, that is if you can find a shop that sell fabric, rare these days.

5:55 am

Atalante

cross-stitch as least hasn't increased in price tooo much

5:55 am

Haz1558

Cross stitch releasing stress? There's a new concept.

5:55 am

KatieMcG

Gave up at the introduction of 3 cats, became more stressful than not doing it

5:56 am

Haz1558

I've saved LOADS of money on cross-stitch over the years.

5:56 am

ChrissieDee

babble takes some beating for "value for money" stress release

5:56 am

ChrissieDee

babble takes some beating for "value for money" stress release

5:56 am

FMitch

true Ata - it was always expensive, a decent kit was around Â£20

5:56 am

ChrissieDee

Good morning ladies

5:56 am

Atalante

cross stitch is a wonderful stress reliever :)

5:56 am

Haz1558

That's true, Chrissie. Although it does create a wee bit of stress sometimes as well.

5:56 am

FMitch

Hi Chrissie, yup babble is very good value for money :)

5:56 am

ChrissieDee

don't know how I said it twice, but I second it anyway, lol

5:56 am

KatieMcG

I think it's because my projects take years and years to get anywhere I could come home do a couple of hours and see progress. And it stopped me eating!!!

5:57 am

KatieMcG

It was very true Chrissie, worth saying twice, morning

5:57 am

FMitch

A wee bit of stress Haz, LOL sometimes I am apoplectic!

5:57 am

Haz1558

My very busy sister-in-law had a series of cross-stitch Santas to do. We named it the Millennium project a few years before the event. It's still to be completed, but she's not looked in my direction,thank goodness.

5:58 am

KatieMcG

Actually might do some this weekend, I have lions in a field that I have been working on for ever, might get round to doing some more

5:58 am

periwinkle

hello all

5:58 am

FMitch

Hey peri!

5:58 am

Haz1558

Oh, me too, FMitch.

5:58 am

ChrissieDee

hi peri

5:58 am

periwinkle

what is a caravan holiday?

5:58 am

FMitch

LOL

5:59 am

Atalante

I was meant to do a "hurray you gave birth to a nasty little crotchety child" sampler thing for my step-brother and his wife. I accidently forgot

5:59 am

KatieMcG

On the subject of stress I took a sulk with the grid last night and didn't even go to the list it was so evil, the computer was turned off!!

5:59 am

Haz1558

A holiday taken in a caravan. Think a tin box with restricted facilities.

5:59 am

FMitch

It's like a motorhome but you hitch it to the back of your car

5:59 am

periwinkle

oh, ok

5:59 am

KatieMcG

which is roasting in the daytime (if it is hot) and like a fridge in the evening

5:59 am

Haz1558

Think of your rankings, Katie. You've probably plummeted down the leaderboard.

6:00 am

FMitch

or you go to a caravan park where there are hunders of static caravan 'homes' you stay in (usually by the sea).

6:00 am

Haz1558

And if you're parked near the sea, the seagulls will waken you by walking on the roof in the morning.

6:00 am

periwinkle

we call them trailers here

6:00 am

KatieMcG

Luckily I am above such worries, I don't think I have ever got on the left list anyhway

6:00 am

ChrissieDee

than you cook meals for a full family on a 2 ring burner

6:00 am

Haz1558

The left list?

6:01 am

FMitch

Oh of course, forgot the US/UK translation there.

6:01 am

KatieMcG

cream o' the crop (had to go and look it up) have been hot more often

6:01 am

Haz1558

And you have to make and remake beds every day which drop out of the ceiling and rise up from trap doors.

6:02 am

periwinkle

doesn't sound like much fun

6:02 am

ChrissieDee

which you put your back out assembling then they are most uncomfortable for your poor aching back

6:02 am

Haz1558

Ah! I understand the left list now - it sounded a bit like lost property.

6:02 am

Haz1558

peri, it's all to make you appreciate being at home.

6:02 am

FMitch

only to be beaten by a .... camping holiday!!

6:03 am

periwinkle

I have been camping 2x, once with a tent and once without, hated both times

6:03 am

FMitch

How do you go camping w/o a tent?

6:04 am

FMitch

sleep under the stars?

6:04 am

Haz1558

I've only ever camped in tents with full bathroom facilities and proper beds. It's the only way!

6:04 am

ChrissieDee

tents are a whole new level of torture

6:04 am

KatieMcG

we used to go camping when I was a child, loved it then, now I don't settle for anything less that ensuite

6:04 am

periwinkle

we got to the site too late to set up and "slept" in sleeping bags under the stars. It was a horrible night for me

6:04 am

FMitch

and hot and cold running room service ;)

6:04 am

FMitch

I can empathise there peri

6:04 am

Haz1558

Exactly, FMitch. THAT I can tolerate.

6:04 am

KatieMcG

preferable with a minibar

6:05 am

Atalante

husband wants to go camping. I asked him how we're going to get any sleep with 2 people and a wriggly dog in a small tent

6:05 am

FMitch

hub is mad, but we knew that anyway.

6:05 am

Haz1558

He might get some sleep. If your reports of his snoring are accurate, nobody else within a five mile radius will get any sleep.

6:06 am

Atalante

even he wouldnt get any sleep with wriggling spaniel wriggling all night. actually, that might be worth seeing

6:06 am

FMitch

Hehe

6:06 am

Atalante

I could leave him and Hobbit in the tent and go and sleep in the car

6:07 am

Haz1558

You can buy kennel tents.

6:07 am

Atalante

noooo. you can? *looks suspicious*

6:07 am

Haz1558

Yes, indeed. I have friends who are caravanners and they have a little tent kennel thing for their dogs.

6:08 am

FMitch

Oh brill!

6:08 am

Scrabbler

I am finally here--the site would not load except for the Lickety Add box.

ChrissieDee

6:19 am

Haz1558

Make it singular, Chrissie for another st.

Atalante

morning thunder! that sounds good!

6:20 am

Haz1558

Okay, time for me to go. Back later.

6:20 am

9:01 am

flosey

morning fuquay

9:01 am

redturtlehead

I just sent an email to cousin and told her to please have it and lets stop all the bickering.

9:02 am

redturtlehead

It was beautiful. but it wasnt worth it.

9:02 am

flosey

oh red, how mean of your aunt,

9:02 am

flosey

but how gracious of you

9:03 am

redturtlehead

She was horrible to my Mom...and then neither she nor one of my Moms brothers would talk to her at the Funeral...just stupid.

9:03 am

redturtlehead

childish.

9:03 am

mkg

rolin you still there?

9:03 am

Judi

That's sad red. However, keep an eye peeled on EBay. Things have a way of turning up there after spiteful family members get their way.

9:03 am

flosey

it is very sad when relatives act that way - and, unfortunately, they live to regret it

9:04 am

redturtlehead

Well, a long long time ago, My Grandmother gave me a little clock with a Ballerina in it, you know the kind? it wasnt worth a lot but I had very strong memories attached to it, so I have my "Memory piece"

9:04 am

crosshair

like you say red,not worth fighting over.my fathers will says that the one hardest off gets the "estate" wich may cosist of a fishing rod and a 20 year old bottle of whiskey by that time;)

9:04 am

redturtlehead

I am pleased that I am not acting that way.

9:04 am

LadyNatts

I never understood that kind of behaviour. My mom didn't speak to her sister for decades - I still don't know why.

9:05 am

redturtlehead

And mY Mom is sending me some Wedgewood...

9:05 am

redturtlehead

Luckily My Mother is giving all her stuff away while she is alive.

9:05 am

crosshair

after all,its all just "stuff"

9:05 am

flosey

my mom did that too red

9:06 am

crosshair

people are more important

9:06 am

redturtlehead

I just hate that it is upsetting my Mom, who is not really young.

9:06 am

Angelsong

I just noticed my son's name in the grid. Adam.

9:06 am

Judi

Sigh. I feel fortunate that my family members have never been very possessive of "things".

9:06 am

flosey

then you must convince your mom that the memories you have are worth more than 'stuff'

9:07 am

redturtlehead

My Mom could care less about the stuff, she doesn't want to be accused of "stealing" it...

9:08 am

Judi

My dad gave us so many things before he died. More than we wanted. I loved what he gave us, but some of it I doled out to other family members - just to spread the love, ya know.

9:09 am

redturtlehead

9:09 am

LadyNatts

9:10 am

redturtlehead

9:10 am

redturtlehead

My Grandfather did not believe in Television so they had a very nice radio for news.

9:10 am

LadyNatts

ah, I see.

9:10 am

crosshair

9:11 am

Goat

wow, i wish my dad had given away some of his stuff before he died, but it was pretty sudden. my mom thought to do it, but he didn't own any jewelry or anything nice like that to pass on (very non-materialistic man). I just want his little scorpion paper weight. Maybe I'll ask mom sometime.

9:12 am

redturtlehead

I bet if you ask goat, she will gladly give to you.

9:12 am

crosshair

9:12 am

redturtlehead

Yaaay cross, thrw away the ensures....

Ewwwww. Ensure. Yick.

9:13 am

9:13 am

Judi

Yes - like they are a protein shake. Yurk.

9:13 am

redturtlehead

Amazing isnt it!

9:14 am

Goat

LadyNatts

9:14 am

crosshair

9:19 am

crosshair

9:19 am

redturtlehead

And may I say this grid is slightly friendlyier than yesterdays...

9:19 am

Angelsong

14 words to go; first pass through the grid is complete.

9:20 am

Judi

Dang, Angel. You're a machine!

9:20 am

LadyNatts

red - I beg to differ with you... but then, I have not had any coffee =-)

9:20 am

crosshair

9:20 am

redturtlehead

9:23 am

crosshair

2 slices of toast is not a total victory,but its staying down:)

9:23 am

LadyNatts

9:36 am

redturtlehead

but judi now it is nice and clean!

9:36 am

LadyNatts

we didn't know you were going to the junk drawer to look for something, Judi

9:36 am

9:36 am

9:36 am

Uneaixoise

Uh, what's your definition of clean, Angel. 'Cause I don't think it

9:37 am

Uneaixoise

9:37 am

Angelsong

9:37 am

mkg

9:37 am

Uneaixoise

tx angel :-)

9:38 am

Angelsong

clean: completely uncluttered, with everything in it's own place.

9:38 am

mkg

angel, i call it rafters. dont know another term.

9:39 am

LadyNatts

angel, you sound like my sister... I, however, am more like my mother.... serious packrat.

9:39 am

Judi

Well, that drawer definitely aint it then. I went in looking for my wind-up toy collection. We're filling shoe boxes for Samaratin's Purse donations.

9:39 am

Angelsong

I used to be a packrat, Lady

9:39 am

LadyNatts

we call the gutters along the roof to drain rainwater *****troughs... does that help mkg?

9:40 am

Angelsong

mkg: there is an ea word in the grid for rafter

9:40 am

mkg

9:40 am

LadyNatts

how did you cure yourself, angel?

9:41 am

Judi

a'9aaaaaaaaa vv

9:41 am

Judi

Sorry. Cat "visiting".

9:41 am

Angelsong

one very small step at a time, Lady. I started summer before last, by making a household notebook. That was the beginning for me; it's a whole new lifestyle.

9:41 am

LadyNatts

Judi? you okay?

9:42 am

Angelsong

and moving into a brand new house helped a lot.

9:42 am

72 Temple Owl

bye peeps

9:42 am

LadyNatts

I'm trying... did the Fly Lady thing for awhile, but when hubby pooh-poohed it, it didn't seem like a good idea.

9:42 am

Angelsong

two weeks from today is the first anniversary of our move into the new house.

9:43 am

Angelsong

flylady is ok, but I found it too "chirpy" somehow.

9:43 am

LadyNatts

ah.... and here am I, in the house I grew up in... complete with much of my mother's "collections"

9:43 am

harpjane

i used to LOVE fly lady, then i just gave up!

9:44 am

Angelsong

I find simple, small steps are easiest to sustain and grow from

9:44 am

Angelsong

I have a collection of tips I've come up with to help declutter.

9:44 am

emmy9776

im a new player, could someone tell me what these "tile stats" mean? what does e 0/2 mean?

9:45 am

Angelsong

it means there are two words that begin with O.

9:45 am

harpjane

my mil collection finally made it into the garage, but it took a flood and two moves to do it

9:45 am

LadyNatts

means there are 2 words starting with E that you have not entered

9:45 am

harpjane

oh, and we had to build a garage....

9:46 am

emmy9776

ok! thank you :) (I may ask more questions later!)

9:46 am

LadyNatts

ask away, emmy!

9:46 am

Judi

Welcome to Babble, Emmy. Prepare to be addicted.

9:46 am

emmy9776

hehe thank you!

9:46 am

Angelsong

emmy, check out AngelSong's Babble Resource Guide. It's full of helpful information. Link in the yellow box below the grid and stats tiles

9:47 am

emmy9776

oooh ok, I'll have a look at it

9:48 am

Angelsong

I created the online resource guide to help new players, and to provide a handy reference to resources for Babble, emmy.

9:48 am

Goat

oooh, I'd love some decluttering tips, Angel! Hubby and I are in the process now - got rid of 6+ bags of clothes, some crafty stuff and toiletries I won't use. Not sure what to do next, there's so much stuff!

9:49 am

Judi

Goat - it's a great time of year to make donations to Goodwill or the Salvation Army - and it's all tax deductible, if you live in the US.

9:49 am

Angelsong

goat: e mail me...link for my e mail on the babble resource guide.

9:49 am

LadyNatts

check out flylady, Goat... it did work for me when I followed it... and it has some handy tips

9:49 am

Judi

Realsimple.com is also a good website and an excellent magazine!

9:49 am

Goat

yep, we're in the US. Our first load of clothes went to the salvation army this week. And ugh, I can't deal with fly lady. I'm just not a sink polishing kind of gal.

9:50 am

LadyNatts

LOL goat!

9:50 am

LadyNatts

I have to laugh... here I am, trying to declutter, and I grabbed from my mom the other day a pamphlet titled "Don't you DARE throw that out"

9:51 am

Judi

Oh no, Lady! Paradox!

9:51 am

LadyNatts

it has some 300 tips for re-using stuff... (including dryer lint, if you can believe it)

9:51 am

Goat

I like Get Organized Now, but so much of it doesn't apply to my life.

9:51 am

harpjane

just be sure you don't donate trash to the thrift stores, my husband works for a non profit and they spend THOUSANDS each month getting rid of things that can't be re-sold!

9:51 am

Goat

What does it suggest you do with dryer lint? lol!

9:52 am

Judi

Dryer lint? Oh. shut.up. That's just... disturbing.

9:53 am

harpjane

are there ideas on cat hair uses?

9:53 am

Judi

Lol, Harpjane. I feed it to my vacuum.

9:54 am

Judi

Okay. Speaking of dryer lint, I have to unload my dryer and start another load. BBL, you crazy kids. *POOF*

9:54 am

LadyNatts

Dryer Lint: tip #104... Make it into a decorative fire starter ... Besides the link, all you need is a paper egg carton to use as a mold, some old candle stubs, crayons or paraffin seeling wax, and some string for a wick......

9:54 am

harpjane

found a pirate word, av5

9:55 am

Goat

hmmm, I don't have a fireplace, but I may have to make some of those lintballs for my mom's house at christmas :)

9:55 am

LadyNatts

av5 mates!

9:55 am

harpjane

we have so much cat hair on EVERYTHING!

9:56 am

Goat

us too, jane...3 cats in a 900 sq foot apartment!

9:56 am

harpjane

We recently stayed in a motel that specifies if they find out you had a pet in the room you would get an additional charge...we were afraid they would think we brought one with us!

9:56 am

harpjane

we're down to two cats but they are both long hairs

9:56 am

LadyNatts

don't whine to me about cat hair, jane... I have 4 cats and 2 dogs... one of the dogs' hairs I could knit sweaters from!

9:57 am

harpjane

i have a friend who's a spinner and she says it's actually really difficult to make dog hair into thread....

9:57 am

redturtlehead

Oh gosh, I just have one dog, but he sheds like two, since he is 75 pounds, he could qualify for 2 small dogs.

9:58 am

Angelsong

Goat: I bought GON creator Maria Gracia's My Oh-so-orgainized filing system, and it was a huge help in clearing paper clutter. I no longer have to search for important paper files.

9:58 am

LadyNatts

my gr. pyranees is more than 100 lbs... and pure white

9:59 am

Goat

oooh, I had wondered if her extras were worth it. we hired an organizer last year to help me with my paperwork, but it still needs work, and I'd rather not spend $45/hr again!

9:59 am

redturtlehead

your gr pyr is like 3 small dogs!

9:59 am

harpjane

could someone give me the stats for the lower S?

10:00 am

Angelsong

I physically felt stress leave my shoulders when I realized all of our tax records were organized in one file folder, in date order. I've never looked back.

10:00 am

LadyNatts

haven't opened clues yet, jane... so I don't know

10:01 am

LadyNatts

lol red, true!

10:01 am

Angelsong

the bottom S has two words.

10:01 am

fuquayvarina

both are st 6,21, I think. both plurals that you can't do from the other s

10:02 am

LadyNatts

he can stick his nose into my cleavage just in a normal stance.

10:02 am

harpjane

that's what i figured, thanks!

10:03 am

redturtlehead

I am glad Teulu is not that large. He is Big enough when he feels frisky.

10:03 am

LadyNatts

well, you have to factor in that I'm only 5'

10:05 am

redturtlehead

yes lady I have 3 inches on you...

10:05 am

harpjane

10:05 am

10:58 am

JBV

10:58 am

JBV

DOH! hit me with a bass or a bass drum or something!

10:58 am

10:59 am

JBV

hi, Aloy!

10:59 am

Aethanyc

11:43 am

Aethanyc

I Stumbled on it, like a good little internet addict. xD I can't imagine there being any other length of word than 4 letters in here though. :/ It's baffling.

My sister just decided she is probably getting a divorce, and I think I am taking it harder than she is...of course in the wake of Grandmas death, I dont think I can take any more fam drama.

12:02 pm

Dorens

12:02 pm

redturtlehead

its a hard thing to decide.

12:02 pm

carleekat

12:02 pm

redturtlehead

Oh no...

12:02 pm

Dorens

oh no don't feel guilty, it is what you neede

12:02 pm

Atalante

don't take his guilt, carlee

12:03 pm

12:35 pm

milesndale

12:35 pm

milesndale

I haven't had goose liver since I was a little kid and had a Lithuanian babysitter

12:36 pm

Aethanyc

Foie gras? Wha? @___@; -baffled- There's so much jargon being thrown around haha.

12:36 pm

foie gras is wonderful stuff though...

12:36 pm

redturtlehead

I dont know. I am not a fan of it.

12:36 pm

Pinikula

I'm not sure I've ever had goose liver; not sure I wanna try it

12:36 pm

Atalante

It tastes fowl anyway

12:36 pm

milesndale

foie gras means "fat liver" in French.

12:36 pm

Aethanyc

It's awesome on toast with butter. :D

I swear we are gonna do something useful today

12:43 pm

Of course they are. I had a woman ring me at 2 am to report that her puppy had coughed. Would it be alright?

12:52 pm

Atalante

It always really annoys me when we're down at the beach, and some dog owners very carefully walk their dogs on leads up on the small path. whereas *real* dog owners let their dogs run around the beach and mud flats and sea and chase the birds

the celebrity point is valid. people should not dress dogs and certainly not cats

Penalty box, fopr typing a word into the chat.

2:02 pm

Atalante

and there are sometimes difficult clues too!

2:02 pm

MonkeyGames

It has been known to happen.

2:02 pm

MetFan

Like the one Monkey just showed!

2:03 pm

MonkeyGames

I had the grace to follow that up by pointing out it was the book Blade Runner was based on...

2:03 pm

Atalante

nah, that's obvious!

2:04 pm

pugmama763

crap,really must get my ragged arse in gear.errands to run.Happy Babbling & Fireworks to all!

2:05 pm

MonkeyGames

Bye Pug!

2:05 pm

MonkeyGames

Oh dear. Sorry.

2:05 pm

MetFan

Like I tried to tell Minver once, just because someone is here, not a dummy, and somewhat verbose, doesn't necessarily mean he or she is as well read on such things, I think Pug will back me up on this, so clues like that go over most people's heads. I try to clue in simple terms so ANYBODY can get them.

2:05 pm

MonkeyGames

It's my only good one so far thopugh...

2:06 pm

MonkeyGames

Didn't mean to offend.

2:06 pm

MetFan

I have no idea who would dream of electric sheep...

2:06 pm

MonkeyGames

Androids.

2:06 pm

MetFan

No offense taken, Monkey, just that clues like that DO go over most peoples heads...

2:06 pm

pugmama763

hate to leave such an oddly amusing chat but must Poof! Bye all!

2:06 pm

Atalante

but most people here are pretty well read

2:07 pm

Atalante

and that's why different people clue difefrent ways, then everyone gets something!

2:07 pm

MonkeyGames

Lots of people clue with stuff I have no idea about, like Dickens references or people from TV shows... iof I don't get it I just ask for a different clue.

2:07 pm

MetFan

Yes, but not necessarily on the same subjects, which is what makes us a great platform for learning from each other.

2:07 pm

MonkeyGames

Most people's? Oh dear.

2:08 pm

Haz1558

Most cluers don't mind giving a second clue - although it can stretch the patience when what the cluee really wants is to have the word spelled out.

2:08 pm

MetFan

Bye, dear!!!

2:08 pm

jan

I didn't get the electric sheep one either, actually, but I like interesting clues. There's not much challnge if the word is spelled out. Sometimes getting the clue is as much fun as getting the word itself.

2:08 pm

2:53 pm

Vicuna

Everything's up to date in Kansas City?

2:53 pm

Haz1558

Dear me, this is sad.

2:53 pm

Vicuna

Well, I could never do the pink one, either.

2:59 pm

redturtlehead

yes exactly Pinik.

3:00 pm

Vicuna

But the little pewter people in the Star Wars Monopoly are really cool!

3:00 pm

Haz1558

Is one of them supposed to be LIam Neeson?

3:01 pm

Atalante

or Hayden?

3:01 pm

Vicuna

No, it predates the newer set of three.

3:02 pm

Pinikula

...and I've also resorted to playing cribbage online, too. (if anyone's ever interested in a game or two)

3:02 pm

redturtlehead

still sort of cool. are the properties the same or are the star wars properties?

3:02 pm

crosshair

i have the 2007 international scrabble tourney game for the pc,but havent really played it yet

3:03 pm

3:03 pm

Vicuna

Instead of railroads it's got spaceships.

3:04 pm

redturtlehead

3:34 pm

MetFan

Hey Dorens, Thanks

3:34 pm

Dorens

3:35 pm

MetFan

Been monkeying that one forever.

3:35 pm

Dorens

not an easy one. i need a clue for fe6, or is it a fish?

3:36 pm

Pinikula

fe6 relates to upper leg bone

3:36 pm

redturtlehead

there is a fe 6 that is an extension of the fe 4...

3:36 pm

Dorens

thanks pini. iit is a fish then

3:36 pm

MetFan

Or the artery thereabout

3:37 pm

3:38 pm

MetFan

They may not have to do with what you're seeking NOW, but you can use them for other words....

3:38 pm

The Pounder

people are talking anbout the bone in the thigh which cannot be spelled with this puzzl

3:38 pm

Dorens

always a good idea to cadge clues from the chog

3:39 pm

MetFan

Think the artery without the final L

3:39 pm

redturtlehead

Pounder it relates to the upper leg bone, it isnt the upper leg bone.

3:39 pm

Vicuna

fe6 is latin pl of upper leg bone

3:40 pm

redturtlehead

Hello MetFan. How are you today?

3:40 pm

Dorens

words you know are often related to words you don't know, but need for the grid

3:40 pm

MetFan

I'm good, Red, hows by you?

3:40 pm

The Pounder

alright i got that one

3:40 pm

Dorens

monkeying refers to playing around with the letters and making up words that may or may not exist

5:20 pm

Oooh the poor kids. i dont get extra points at work for making the kids cry.

5:21 pm

5:21 pm

Pinikula

number of points for the word...

5:21 pm

redturtlehead

point value aeth

5:21 pm

lynxxx

Do you scare the kids that knock on the door? part of the game?

5:21 pm

lil*monkey

S 0/18 means you have found 0 of the 18 S words from that particular S

5:22 pm

Aethanyc

Ohhh okay. Thanks. :] And how do you know that before you've found the word? xD

5:22 pm

nrkii

for us there is no knocking on doors ... there are too many kids... I just sat on my porch steps with a big load of candy

5:22 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

no knocking. we sit on the porch and hand out candy

5:22 pm

Pinikula

Use Lickety's List at the bottom of the page. ;)

5:22 pm

lil*monkey

stats are listed below, under "Tile Stats"

5:22 pm

nrkii

I was very strict though... I didn't let the kids grab candy themselves, and I made most of them say trick or treat :)

5:23 pm

Pinikula

I took my dog for a walk (he was dressed as a Bumble Beagle)...and we gave out candy as was passed kids (with parents). ;)

5:23 pm

redturtlehead

I am surprised nrkii that you dont have a headache

5:23 pm

nrkii

ooh fun Pini! That's what you meant by "in reverse"

5:23 pm

Pinikula

Yep!

5:23 pm

Pinikula

We gave out a whole pumpkin bucket worth (about 8 lbs of candy)...

5:23 pm

lynxxx

sorry for being dumb, but why are some of the kids scared/crying?

5:23 pm

nrkii

the kids who just walk up and hold out their bags without saying a word annoy me

5:24 pm

redturtlehead

yes, they should say something. like hello even.

5:24 pm

Pinikula

I figured it was easier to do that and walk the dog than to keep answering the door every 2 seconds and the dog go wild! ;)

5:24 pm

nrkii

scary Halloween spooky stuff, courtesy of Gwen

5:24 pm

the kids over age 14 or so really annoy me... this silly holiday is for little kids

When I was a kid, I knew most of the neighborhood, so I had to say something, liek Hi Mr Smith...

5:25 pm

Pinikula

Several parents took pictures of my dog as we walked along because of his costume. ;)

5:25 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

well, one of my friends (very tall) dressed as demon, lurks in bushes. another one dressed as zombie sitting on the lawn, behaving as zombie. also, 4 smoke machines, 3 different soucres of scary music and sound effects, it's like an open air haunted house

5:25 pm

nrkii

I don't mind the older kids, except when they don't bother to even put on a costume

5:25 pm

Pinikula

Aeth: Open â€œLickety's Listâ€ (found at the bottom of this page) in another window. Next, copy the words you've found (under Babbleâ€™s My Word List) and paste them in the large box at the bottom of the Lickety's List (Bulk Add). Press Add and your found words will be placed in their appropriate places on the list. Then you simply try and find the words that are still missing. Update your Lickety's List by repeating the copy / paste / Bulk Add.

Yahoo RTH!

Scrabbler

I am allergic to feathers, so I cannot have a feather mattress, red.

6:51 pm

we do have some part of the law on our side though... they can't leave it at a high rent, they do have to drop it and we pay the difference until our lease is officially up

6:51 pm

sprite

*puts a hypo allergic bed in the sin bin too*

6:53 pm

Scrabbler

Question for the Aussies: the Aussie family I saw in the office today, the mother said that immunization records are not kept for kids because vaccines are not necessary for school attendance...is this true? There MUST be a record, I believe.

6:54 pm

mrpresident

it would send us broke we fear...

Andree, you know what the rental market is like here... nasty! but landlords are taking advantage and making rents very very high

6:54 pm

mrpresident

no scrabs, not true

6:54 pm

mrpresident

they do not have to vaccinate their kids, but this must be recorded

6:55 pm

lynxxx

Calling all Babblers! nice house in Sydney available for short term lease - bargain price for holiday makers!

6:55 pm

oodleberry

fe6,27;fe6,30 please

6:55 pm

sprite

lol lynxxx! Wouldn't that be wonderful!

6:55 pm

Andree

thats rubbish scrabbler, of course records are kept and most schools don't want kids that have not been immunised

6:55 pm

mrpresident

meanwhile, in the last 2-3 months, everything has changed with the economy and rents are dropping by 10%.

6:55 pm

lynxxx

All my kids were vaccinated but I don't think there is any central records

6:56 pm

Scrabbler

I did not trust this mother--she brought NO medical records, no immunization records, and said "OH, we have been to many doctors and there is no way to get the information. The school nurse here said to just redo all of their shots." Yikes! That would mean LOTS of shots.

6:56 pm

sprite

and that is fireworks for the sprite. Have to update icons and then drop in bed or tomorrow is gonna be bad. *hugs* to you all and be well.

6:56 pm

mrpresident

if someone wants a cheap house to rent!! come on down for the summer months! you would only have to pay $400 a week!! we would pay the rest!!

6:56 pm

mrpresident

no scrabs, tell her no

6:56 pm

Andree

yay sprite

6:56 pm

lynxxx

Congrats Sprite. Sleep well!

6:56 pm

oodleberry

bbye sprite

6:57 pm

she can get the records. you just request them from the doctors she has visited. Bundaberg is a small place... can't be that many doc surgerys there

6:57 pm

mrpresident

bye sprite!! congrats too

6:57 pm

sprite

oh mrP, our first babble blessings day tomorrow!

6:57 pm

Scrabbler

I told her to get us info on all previous doctors so that we can e-mail them.

6:57 pm

Andree

every mother i know has a little book where the shots are recorded , i still have mine somewhere and my youngest is 33!!!

6:57 pm

6:57 pm

mrpresident

oh sprite!! Am so looking forward to it!

6:58 pm

Scrabbler

TY for the info, Aussies....I did not trust her.

6:58 pm

Andree

she sounds like a dope scrabbler

6:58 pm

lynxxx

Scrabs - that sounds OK to me. I would have been unable to provide medical & immunisation records too.

6:58 pm

mrpresident

We need blessing day!! it will be lovely :)

6:59 pm

sprite

it will be great. Am gonna put down how it started and then it will run its course :D

6:59 pm

If I were leaving from one country to another, I would gather up medical records and immunization records in preparation for ongoing medical care.

7:01 pm

Andree

any melb cup tips lynxxx

7:01 pm

lynxxx

Aside from initial Baby Health Booklet where early immunisation is recorded, there is no other record of immunisation. (At the appropriate ages, mass immunisations are done at schools) My children were reasonably healty and had no continuous health records

7:02 pm

lynxxx

lol Andree - wouldn't want to mislead you!

7:02 pm

Scrabbler

But the doctor's office must keep a record--in the child's chart?

7:02 pm

lynxxx

fo6.30 enemy & guys

7:02 pm

Andree

i will ask my daughter when she gets home from work what the situation is now re records

7:02 pm

Scrabbler

OK, pasta is done. I am off to eat. BBL

7:03 pm

Andree

she has two little ones and will be able to answer the question

7:03 pm

lynxxx

If you mean me Scrabs - my kids have gone to various doctors over the years. Nothing serious so have never had recoirds transferred

7:05 pm

lynxxx

In hindsight this sounds so slack! maybe this is our laidback lifestyle

7:06 pm

sprite

mrP, you still here?

7:07 pm

Andree

lynxxx , i am sure if you had young kids and moved to another country you would know whether they had been immunised or not

8:50 pm

Minveryork

I was nervous about having to do one.Was telling my sister about it and my 8 year old niece said "Oh I did that at school". I thought if an eight year old can do it, so can I. Now I can see why she was abe to do it.

8:51 pm

Pinikula

That's good, Min! I'm sure you'll come up with some clever things to do with it! It's a fun program... animating is exciting. ;)

Book Doctor Gwen

i always advise people -- i mean, when i get puter questions, which is more oftenthat i should -- that if they need help, to ask their 5- ot 10-year-old grandchild, neice, nephew, etc. No joke

8:51 pm

Minveryork

Thank you Pinikula. I am glad I liked it too. Most I go to are extremely BORING!Anyway, it was good extra money too.My presentation was on childhood obesity

8:52 pm

Pinikula

8:52 pm

Minveryork

I know, that is SO true Book Doctor Gwen. My niece is probably much more computer literate than I am!

8:54 pm

Minveryork

how do i play i keep propsing words and it says they dont exist

9:57 pm

Pinikula

the letters must touch in sequential order...

9:57 pm

Pinikula

and you can only use each letter once in the same word

10:00 pm

Pinikula

PS: Hello, London...welcome to the grid. ;)

Helloooooooooooooooo

10:01 pm

Pinikula

Hey FG!

10:01 pm

FunGuy

Cute icon!

10:02 pm

Pinikula

That's my puppy in his hiking pack...

10:02 pm

FunGuy

he's a cutie!

10:02 pm

Pinikula

Danke!

10:05 pm

Pinikula

question for ya FG (since I think you're the only one here and talking)...

10:05 pm

FunGuy

There are 117 players on line. I think everyone should say hello here!

10:05 pm

FunGuy

Ask away....

10:05 pm

Pinikula

best of luck on that one, FG! =)

10:05 pm

wvteach

hello - busy trying to find words - gone all day and just started

10:06 pm

Pinikula

Well, you know I have a dog...

10:06 pm

Pinikula

...and the neighbors have 2 big black female labs...

10:06 pm

phandmd

does anyone want clues?

10:06 pm

Pinikula

...who bark at my dog if I let him out in the backyard...

10:06 pm

Pinikula

(I'm done, Phan, but thanks!)

10:06 pm

FunGuy

I hate that

10:07 pm

Pinikula

...so, he doesn't get to stay out because they engage him in a barking match.

10:07 pm

Pinikula

...and my dog shouldn't be punished because the neighbors won't manage their dogs, right?

10:07 pm

FunGuy

What if you asked the neighbors if you culd give them treats and get them to like seeing you out there

10:07 pm

FunGuy

I agree with you

10:08 pm

Pinikula

Oh, I know the dogs by name, but can't stand out there and keep telling "Daphne" and "Hailey" to shut up!

10:09 pm

Pinikula

...apparently, they don't mind the barking...cuz they rarely call their dogs back.

10:09 pm

Pinikula

It's really annoying...

10:09 pm

FunGuy

I know. I'm thinking they think their territory includes your yard , too...and maybe if they saw you as a positive thing in "their" territory, they'd be less inclined to bark so much

10:10 pm

Pinikula

...there's a 6' wood fence between the yards; they can't "see" us (except for one small hole where the engage Koda; and I can't stand out there all the time.

10:10 pm

Pinikula

I was thinking about a "dog silencer"...

10:11 pm

FunGuy

how does that work? do you mean those collars?

10:11 pm

Pinikula

nooooo...

10:11 pm

Pinikula

you don't attach them to the dog

10:11 pm

Pinikula

hold on...I'll give you a url

10:12 pm

FunGuy

does it emit a sound or something?

10:12 pm

Pinikula

http://tinyurl.com/3dfhxv

10:12 pm

Pinikula

Yes

10:13 pm

gapeach

May I please have for ne6-21? Thanks

10:14 pm

Pinikula

ne6/21 = closed in on (pt)

10:14 pm

cwwizard

pt of the first ne 4/4

10:14 pm

Pinikula

uh oh...poop patrol...

10:14 pm

Pinikula

brb

10:15 pm

FunGuy

It looks like it might work for the neighbor dogs...but what about your dog having to put up with the sounds too?

10:15 pm

gapeach

Thanks y'all.

10:21 pm

Pinikula

oh, false alarm...he apparently tooted (because I didn't find anything)

10:21 pm

Pinikula

My dog doesn't bark...so it shouldn't affect him?

10:21 pm

Pinikula

...but then again, it's only a training tool...

10:21 pm

Pinikula

...may not be worth the investment.

10:22 pm

Pinikula

I should probably just go talk to the neighbors about "training" their dogs. * sigh *

10:22 pm

Pinikula

yw ga

10:22 pm

phandmd

I have found talking to people about there pets to be futile

10:23 pm

Pinikula

That's sort of my opinion, Phan. It hasn't worked with them yet. :(

10:23 pm

gapeach

May I please have a clue for da4-5? Thanks

10:23 pm

phandmd

If they are outside all day, you probably can get animal control involved.

10:23 pm

Pinikula

da4/6 = wood joint connection

10:24 pm

phandmd

da 4/5 is an alt spelling for a special saw blade. but is like the information word, has a dif last vowel

10:24 pm

Pinikula

They don't bark all day (that I know of), only when my dog's out in the backyard.

10:25 pm

Pinikula

It's just frustrating, I guess.

10:25 pm

phandmd

can you arrange to let your dog out when they aren't out then?

10:25 pm

Pinikula

(probably because I introduced my dog to them when I got him)

10:25 pm

Pinikula

Not really, because I never know when they're going to let their dogs spend periods of time in the yard.

10:27 pm

Pinikula

oh, well...

10:27 pm

phandmd

well, outta suggestions. but it does sound frustrating

10:28 pm

Pinikula

thanks, Phan

10:29 pm

Pinikula

you, too, FG

10:29 pm

Pinikula

(if you're still here)

10:30 pm
