2:27 am

VolleymomDee

2:28 am

joshuavorbis

fl5/12 is not possible

2:28 am

VolleymomDee

so sorry... fl 5/16... sorry for the typo

2:28 am

sprite

thnx Dee. Weird one yes.
Isn't that fe7 compoundylike one weird as well?

2:29 am

sprite

Knew what you meant, Dee, no worries

2:29 am

joshuavorbis

i still got it from your clue, dee -thanks

2:30 am

VolleymomDee

for sure... yw josh... I still don't understand how to count the letters for the words

2:30 am

ChrissieDee

you can say someone is fly if they are quite cunning

2:30 am

joshuavorbis

total the number of points from the tiles - 5 letter words, double the points, 6 letters, triple it, 7, quadruple it, and so on

2:30 am

sprite

and most li4/7 is also a strange one for me

2:31 am

VolleymomDee

yeah really weird... was just typing that one in sprite when you posted chat lol

2:31 am

lynxxx

Sprite - that fe7.44 is actually a piece of land, pretty common word

2:32 am

sprite

we try anything with everything, no matter how unlikely, right Dee ;)

2:32 am

ChrissieDee

ty sprite, need both the li4 and 7

2:32 am

VolleymomDee

sure have to with er and est grids

2:32 am

sprite

thanks lyn! Now it starts to make sense to me.

2:33 am

VolleymomDee

aww ty lyn didn't know that

2:33 am

Hugabugs

thanks for the li7 sprite... just need 1 more 7

2:33 am

lynxxx

aww - that li7.40 is lovely - must mean dearest

2:34 am

sprite

looked it up, lyn, now I get the meaning and how it came to be. "ground, often near a stockyard, where livestock are gathered to be fattened for market"

2:34 am

Hugabugs

having worked in the agricultural industry for over 20 years, I'm quite familiar with that word

2:35 am

sprite

oh! Ok, now I understand why li7 looks so weird to me. The 4 is quite normal dutch spelling for the same. But in dutch an elongation would get a v.

2:36 am

sprite

another morning of playing babble justified with learning some new things :)

2:36 am

VolleymomDee

ro 7/36... another word I didn't know could be a verb... past tense of ro 5/12... where cowboys ride bulls

3:31 am

Haz1558

Oh well, they say goodbye, I'll say hello!

3:32 am

LoriP

lol, G'd morning Haz.

3:33 am

Haz1558

Hello Lori - I've just got started so raring to go.

3:34 am

LoriP

Tried to get rid of the bottom row, but am missing an n, so I'm ignoring it. Liking the letters. so far....

3:35 am

Haz1558

That n will manifest itself eventually, I'm sure.

3:35 am

LoriP

Yup. 3 of 6 8's from the bottom row, so that was bonus.

3:36 am

Haz1558

I'll bear that in mind.

3:36 am

Haz1558

Another good profile, Lori!

3:37 am

LoriP

: D

3:37 am

Haz1558

Do you spend your non-babble time trawling through cartoons?

3:38 am

LoriP

Trawling? I prefer to think of it as a free Liberal arts education.

3:38 am

Haz1558

Sorry! I must pay attention to my terminology.

3:39 am

LoriP

Focus please.

3:39 am

Haz1558

I'll try,

3:42 am

LoriP

May havta' purple crayon some of these e's.

3:43 am

Haz1558

You'll hurt their feelings.

3:46 am

LoriP

Therapy will assist them in their recovery.

3:46 am

Mad Giraffe

Therapy is expensive.

3:47 am

Haz1558

And if the therapist can't empathise.... it may take forever.

3:48 am

LoriP

Could you imagine what a highly unpopular therapist I wopuld make?

3:48 am

Haz1558

I would imagine hordes of unsatisfied customers picketing outside.

3:49 am

Haz1558

'Lori is rubbish' 'Save your money' 'Let others listen'

3:49 am

LoriP

Me saying 'well then change it" wouldn't exactly be perceived as empathetic....

3:50 am

Haz1558

'Give yourself a shake' isn't recognised as therapy either.

3:50 am

LoriP

Exactly .

3:51 am

Haz1558

Maybe you're better sticking to your liberal arts education.

3:52 am

LoriP

It's for the greater good methinks.

3:52 am

Haz1558

Oh, and raising the rocket scientists. That's got to be challenging.

3:52 am

Mad Giraffe

Well you could try and become a paint therapist.

3:53 am

LoriP

It's a burden to keep them academically challenged, 'specially since they're so near to solving world hunger.

3:53 am

LoriP

***those 2 e's are cancelled until further notice***

3:55 am

Haz1558

Don't worry e's, she'll come back to you. It's not that you are bad e's, and you haven't done anything wrong, but Lori is feeling overwhelmed right now and needs to regroup. Have a cup of coffee until she comes back.

3:56 am

LoriP

Don't molly coddle them Haz. Yeesh.

3:57 am

Haz1558

Too much? I thought I'd strike a conciliatory tone.

3:57 am

Mad Giraffe

Eugh, yesterday "cant" was possible, but now "dont" isn't.

3:58 am

Mad Giraffe

Oh wait, nevermind.

3:58 am

Haz1558

That's because it was cant that was acceptable, a word in its own right that doesn't stand for can not. Don't don't exist any other way.

3:58 am

Mad Giraffe

Yeah, too late.

3:59 am

LoriP

It don't? :p

3:59 am

joshuavorbis

dont would work wonderfully if this were french babble

3:59 am

LoriP

G'd morning josh

4:00 am

Mad Giraffe

I feel french babble would have a lot less words somehow.

4:00 am

joshuavorbis

btw, 'cant' means tilt, think of the old batman tv show where the scenes with the villains would have a tilted camera - the camera was canted

4:00 am

joshuavorbis

good morning lori, can't sleep, must babble

4:01 am

Haz1558

Cant has more than one meaning, then. It can mean licentious or moral talk.

4:01 am

Mad Giraffe

And it's that frilly stuff on the edge of clothings.

4:02 am

Haz1558

It is?

4:02 am

joshuavorbis

well, now that you know it can be a verb as well, think of all the permutations that are possible

4:02 am

Mad Giraffe

Yeah.

4:04 am

Mad Giraffe

Us dutchies call it 'kant'. You've got a similar word for it apparently, but less used methinks.

4:05 am

Mad Giraffe

Then it's just 'frill', right?

4:05 am

joshuavorbis

depending on what it is

4:05 am

joshuavorbis

i'm sure there are lots of other words for specific types of frill

4:05 am

Haz1558

Frill would describe it, or lace, or braid.

4:06 am

Mad Giraffe

The perforated kind.

4:06 am

Haz1558

Have we a fashionista in the house?

4:07 am

Mad Giraffe

Not here.

4:07 am

Haz1558

I'm hoping that someone would know what a perforated edging is called.

4:08 am

LoriP

Annoying ?

4:08 am

Mad Giraffe

It's called lace.

4:08 am

Mad Giraffe

(hooray for Wikipedia)

4:09 am

Mad Giraffe

Frill is only the wavy stuff.

4:09 am

Haz1558

Perforated is used to describe making holes in something. Lace comes with holes already incorporated in the making. And a frill is made by bunching up fabric so quite different techniques.

4:10 am

Mad Giraffe

According to wikipedia the holes can be formed by removing fabric.

4:11 am

Mad Giraffe

It's also a method of lacing.

4:11 am

Mad Giraffe

It's called cutwork.

4:14 am

LoriP

I love these word nerd convo's that break out randomly on Babble.

4:14 am

Haz1558

Yes, but there's no competing with Wikipedia.

4:15 am

Mad Giraffe

Indeed.

4:25 am

LoriP

***so so close to deodar, yet so far away....***

4:25 am

Haz1558

de6/24. I still wake up in a sweat.

4:26 am

LoriP

*** chortle ***

4:28 am

Haz1558

What are we going to call el5/12 when she appears?

4:29 am

LoriP

lol, senior?

4:29 am

Haz1558

That'll have to do. I hope she realises what's going on.

4:30 am

LoriP

I haven't seen her lately.

4:31 am

Haz1558

She has been on, maybe later in the day than usual, though.

4:35 am

Haz1558

Okay, time for other things, but I'll be back later. Be kind to those e's while I'm away, Lori. See you!

4:35 am

LoriP

Later Haz. ***kicks the e's in defiance***

4:36 am

Haz1558

Le sigh. Someday those e's will have their vengeance. There'll not be an e in the grid and you'll be looking for them.

4:36 am

Haz1558

THEN you'll be sorry.

4:37 am

Haz1558

Bye!

4:37 am

5:17 am

5:21 am

HI Scrabbler how is the bunnies and Eva how is merp

5:22 am

Scrabbler

The bunnies are precious!

5:22 am

nDanLia

well, long lines here [opened 22 ins ago] we're a swing state

5:22 am

hi bfsog

5:22 am

I am a blue state--NY

5:22 am

bfsog

hi lynxx. nDan = swing as in could go either way?

5:23 am

bfsog

blue state = ?

5:23 am

nDanLia

[watching local news]; the univ gave 8,000 new voters & county has 5,000 others & city about 2,000 new

5:23 am

Atalante

what does it mean when people say mccain / obama / whoever are on the stump?

5:23 am

Scrabbler

Democratic = "Blue"--on political maps

5:24 am

nDanLia

yes, generally repub, but lots of ove-ins of northeast around dc & univ places like where i be

5:24 am

bfsog

on UK news this morning they reported that Obama had won some small town, the town he won had been repub for the last 40 years

5:24 am

Eva

Merp is doing beautifully. 15 and still going strong. And yes bf, we are going crazy over the election. There are many of us eying our passports today. Vermont is a no brianer, sure to go for Obama, so in a way our votes are unimportant (not that I would ever not vote!). On the stump means traveling around giving speeches, as people used to stand on tree stumps to speak

5:24 am

Scrabbler

"on the stump", I guess means who is "on the ticket"

5:24 am

Atalante

ahhh ty

5:25 am

Eva

or at least that's what I've always been told - but could easily be wrong.

5:25 am

5:30 am

herinfernallady

Lynxx have you seen the new Toyota ad?

5:30 am

Scrabbler

Hi Lori

5:30 am

herinfernallady

Hi Carlee

5:30 am

Atalante

this is one of the reasons I love Babble, you can't go a day without learning something new

5:30 am

lynxxx

no Infernal

5:30 am

carleekat

ok..so..scarlet update.... she is SO completely energized and involved with the election....we were on phone almost an hour...and we had a wonderful conversation..about ...the election...

5:30 am

carleekat

hi herin

5:30 am

Mad Giraffe

Espresso is the only kind of coffee I can drink and then still it goes with a lot of sugar...

5:31 am

Scrabbler

I like the smell of coffee more than the taste

5:31 am

carleekat

( it was a great conversation...but....she is wonderful....she was making a big pot of chili and cream puffs and oatmeal bread so she could sit today and watch allthe news....

5:31 am

Mad Giraffe

Well Espresso actually tastes more like it smells.

5:31 am

herinfernallady

Apparently there is a competition for a Man Prize. A new ute

5:31 am

carleekat

5:32 am

lynxxx

so we might get Scarlet back in a few weeks. Thanks for the update Carlee

5:33 am

Eva

I know it's bizarre, but I've never had a cop of coffee in my life. When I was younger I didn't like the taste. Now I love the smell, and the flavor, but figured I have enough trouble with the addictions I already have without adding in new ones and I need stimulants like a hole in the head (witness babbling at 4:15 am)

5:33 am

herinfernallady

What happened to Scarlet?

5:33 am

Atalante

ditto here, Eva. well, I've had sips from 2 cups of coffee. But literally a few sips each time

5:33 am

Mad Giraffe

Eva, caffeine free coffee is the way to go.

LoriP

G'd morning red

5:44 am

at this point I think that reading chicken entrails would be about as predictive as the polls. There's nothing to do but take massive amounts of tranquilizers and wait until the voting is over with...if that ever happens

5:44 am

herinfernallady

hi Red monster

5:48 am

Eva

does anyone remember the 60's program "Mary Hartman"? It opened with her having a nervous breakdown because she could never get her waxed floors to look like the ones on TV.

5:49 am

carleekat

mart hartman, mary hartman... i remember it..but was WAY to young to watch

5:49 am

crosshair

my father had the same thing for over 30 years trying to get the christmas turkey to look just like the one on tv;)

5:49 am

LoriP

Wow, who knew you could extend the di that way. Thanks again Lynx, Eva.

5:50 am

Eva

To put i mildly-I don't have nervous breakdowns about things like that. Although I did wonder, for years, why cling wrap never clung for me. Then friend told me to get the cheapest kind, because the more expensive brands don't cling et voila. I know this is about as trivial as a chat entry could be, but anything non-trivial goes right back to the election and is unbearable to think about;.

5:50 am

herinfernallady

i am thinking of cancelling christmas this year.

6:28 am

Atalante

*random election-ness* do you have separate voting lines for disabled people? or for people that - um - find standing difficult?

6:28 am

crosshair

there we go have it out to thaw..lets see a 3 egg omelette with 3 kinds of cheese some valencia onion and a lil green pepper,2 or 3 thick slices of crispy peameal bacon..have some taters left over so chop then and sizzle them in a pan till they are golden brown,2 or 3 slices of toasted light rye bread and some fresh orange juice:))

6:29 am

Anniebrook

one line, ata

6:29 am

Atalante

because they've eaten far too many flakes over the years

6:29 am

redturtlehead

I dont think so Ata, but I found that most people who were disabled were allowed to have someone else stand in line while they waited inside in air con (Its still in the 80's in Florida.

6:29 am

carleekat

i take it we can eat again now crossy?

6:29 am

Atalante

that's not very fair

6:29 am

crosshair

well..sort of carlee..most of that is fantasy at this point

6:29 am

redturtlehead

I can not ever recall when a voting line was ever this long. however.

6:30 am

Haz1558

Are there licences given out to fast food outlets to provide mobile sustenance?

6:30 am

Atalante

I wonder if election stations have to have special size booths for people-who-ate-too-many-flakes?

6:30 am

crosshair

in reality ill try a single slice of peameal,s single scrambled egg and a glass of milk:(

6:30 am

Atalante

bichon

OH gosh, the coffee overdid it for me...I must now go burn off some of my excitement.

6:31 am

crosshair

did you get my mail bichon?

6:31 am

Haz1558

You'd think there'd have to be some provision like that, Ata.

6:32 am

Atalante

you would

6:32 am

bichon

oh no, which address did you send it: gmail or the wesleyan one?

6:32 am

Atalante

someone's bound to sue otherwise for not being able to vote

6:32 am

Haz1558

6:32 am

KatieMcG

6:33 am

Haz1558

Bye Katie!

6:34 am

Atalante

I was thinking about that puppy yesterday. Aren't all dogs meant to have parvo jabs? why didn't the puppy? was he just unlucky?

6:34 am

Atalante

6:34 am

carleekat

new towns?

6:34 am

crosshair

6:34 am

Atalante

yes. towns that are new. being built.

6:35 am

bichon

Crossy, oh no, which address did you send it: gmail or the wesleyan one?

6:35 am

Haz1558

The puppy did have a parvo jab, but the pup must have been exposed to parvo and been incubating the virus before presentation at the surgery.

6:35 am

crosshair

i think the second bichon

6:35 am

Atalante

oh poor babe :(

6:35 am

crosshair

ill check

6:35 am

bichon

No, when did you send it Crossy?

6:36 am

Haz1558

According to the vaccination talk I had to listen to in order to get a free dinner, there's a critical point between maternal antibodies being present and immunity being compromised. Or something.

6:36 am

bichon

I have my Spam filter set on stun. Maybe if your could sent it to gmail also

6:36 am

crosshair

yup the second one...ten min ago

6:36 am

Haz1558

I had a very bizarre phone call last night.

6:36 am

Atalante

yes, I guess there must be

6:36 am

crosshair

if you spam is set to stun..it will just go to your junk mail list

6:37 am

crosshair

thyen you can clear me from there

6:37 am

Atalante

oh yes? *waits for story*

6:37 am

Haz1558

A 10 year old bitch, very unsettled, barking, uncomfortable. I asked if she had been sick or eaten any thing different. 'She had a sock this morning'

6:37 am

bichon

I have a delete spam immediately feature

6:37 am

Atalante

well!

6:37 am

crosshair

mmm give me your g-mail again please bichon

6:38 am

Haz1558

I enquired whether we were talking about foot wearing socks. Yes, he replied 'she's always eaten socks'

6:38 am

carleekat

my husbands old dog used to eat socks on a regular basis....as in almost weekly

6:38 am

bichon

muffinbiscuit@gmail.com

6:38 am

Haz1558

'You can't leave any socks lying around or she'll eat them'

6:38 am

Atalante

um ..... hmm ...

6:38 am

crosshair

6:38 am

6:39 am

crosshair

poof

6:39 am

bichon

Crossy, it's not exactly food, it's Bichon names

6:39 am

Atalante

and why did she wait till the night to phone?

6:39 am

carleekat

they had to have a laundry bin with a latch specifically for socks or sheba would eat them

6:39 am

Haz1558

Ata, you never phone during the day, you wait until it's nice and late.

6:39 am

Haz1558

It's the law of England.

6:40 am

Atalante

very true

6:40 am

Atalante

and how is the sock-churning dog?

6:40 am

Haz1558

Anyway, not sure what transpired - x-ray wouldn't be of any use so maybe they'll wait to see if it passes as normal.

6:40 am

carleekat

( Haz..confession here..i still 10 years later feel bad about calling our vet on thanksgiving day.....and our cat had broken both her hips ...)

6:41 am

Haz1558

Well, that's okay, carlee. Nobody minds if it's a genuine emergency.

6:41 am

Atalante

I guess it'll either pass, or will have to be extracted

6:41 am

carleekat

i know that..but still...I felt bad ....poor people never get a rest....

6:41 am

Haz1558

I had a lady phone me at 2 am, worried that her puppy had a coughing fit. By the end of the conversation I had her laughing at herself and promising to go to be.

6:41 am

Haz1558

bed!

6:42 am

carleekat

vets and ob/gyns...never get sleep

6:43 am

Haz1558

It's not so bad at this time of year, springtime is more of a nuisance.

6:43 am

periwinkle

good morning all

6:43 am

Atalante

you never mind if the person is genuinely worried. if a person phones at 2am just because they are being stupid, then it's annoying. Jesdraagon's blog is always full of people phoning her at 2am for stupid reasons, making a vet appt etc!

6:43 am

carleekat

morning peri.....

6:43 am

Haz1558

Hello peri.

6:44 am

Haz1558

Mad Giraffe

6:50 am

Lizsark

Ata he's not interested in the ducks - more in the slime at the bottom of the pond! He was green!

6:51 am

Atalante

oh foul!!!! Hobbit was the same this morning, we walked down by some ponds that are duckweed covered. So of course Hobbit quickly became duckweed covered

6:51 am

Lizsark

Ha! Its not just my dog then!

6:52 am

carleekat

I heard the slime is a good conditioner..maybe puppy wanted a makeover and you wouldn't comply.....she was resorting to a "greener" method of good skin and shiny fur.

6:52 am

Lizsark

7:29 am

carleekat

carlee, the chog box is not big enough to type it in... but the two titles are: 1) voters to approve state authority bonds payable from state appropriations 2) provides that method of selection and appointment of certain municipal court judges be set by statute rather than by the constitiution

8:01 am

Judi

Good morning, fellow humans.

8:01 am

chiley

Good morning all.....

8:01 am

Atalante

hi judi, hi chiley

8:02 am

chiley

AsG....we have lots of amendments on our ballot that you have to really read carefully...maybe Obama did too.

8:03 am

Judi

He was probably just relishing have a few moments alone.

8:04 am

Atalante

I would if I was him!

8:04 am

redturtlehead

I imagine Judi is correct, or Maybe Obama was confused by some of the stuff on the ballot.

8:05 am

redturtlehead

I imagine he has not paid atention to the local comapaigns.

8:05 am

Judi

He probably had a nap in the voting booth.

8:05 am

redturtlehead

He looked very tired yesterday.

8:05 am

Atalante

I'm sure he has someone to tell him about them though

8:05 am

kje

nah... he was just relishing the moment

8:05 am

Judi

I voted at 7:00 a.m. Line was huge.

8:06 am

AsGreen

Judi - he wasn't alone - his booth was wide open and he was chatting w/Michelle - and we all got to see. Our ballot is ridiculous in NJ.... the public questions are impossible (or nearly impossible) to interpret.

8:06 am

AsGreen

did you watch kje?

8:06 am

kje

no... bathing

8:06 am

chiley

The loss of his Grandmother is probably weighing on him too.

8:06 am

kje

well... not anymore... but was

8:06 am

AsGreen

I'm so sad his g'ma passed away. What a shame! I wonder if her absentee ballot counts?

8:07 am

redturtlehead

it does if it waas sent beofre death.

8:07 am

kje

is he loses... i am glad she wan't here to see it... if he wins, it is sad that she didn't live to see it

8:07 am

AsGreen

yup, it was

8:07 am

redturtlehead

We had a fl man die in the operating room, but he sent his absentee out, and they say it counts

8:08 am

AsGreen

either way it's a momentous day for him... it's a shame

8:08 am

Judi

Well, can't say he didn't plan ahead, Red.

8:09 am

AsGreen

I gotta run.... too much to watch on tv... and my daugther is up and chatting... I'll pop on later.... go Obama.... *poof*

8:09 am

kje

i saw several older patients yesterday in the hospital that broke their hips... and wondered... is there anyway they can vote, or if you have bad luck and go to the ed... the election is over for you

8:09 am

kje

i know in nursing homes, they absentee vote there at the homes

8:10 am

redturtlehead

some places let you turn in absentee ballots...

8:10 am

redturtlehead

even today but I am not sure everywhere.

8:10 am

EvaNadine

mornin babblers!

8:10 am

Judi

Hiya, Eva!

8:10 am

kje

no it differs from state to state... which by the way is asinine... federal elections should all follow the same rules

8:10 am

oodleberry

hi eva

8:10 am

Judi

Seems like an oxymoron - to personally turn in your absentee ballot.

8:11 am

redturtlehead

yes I would think so especially today.

8:11 am

kje

poof

8:11 am

redturtlehead

but the fed elections are run bythe states.

8:12 am

Judi

So say the whole process is beauracratic is an understatement.

8:16 am

redturtlehead

yes judi...

8:16 am

Judi

*to say ...*

8:16 am

Atalante

there are some times I really like living in a small island!

8:20 am

Haz1558

Good morning/afternoon all. I live on an even smaller island, Ata!

8:20 am

Atalante

you do! is does make things like election days a bit calmer!

8:20 am

Judi

Mornin, Haz.

8:20 am

Atalante

liz holds the record for small islands though

8:20 am

Vicuna

I live in an extremely small island of sanity in the midst of madness.

8:21 am

Haz1558

Oh, can I come to your island, Vicuna? It sounds idyllic.

8:22 am

Atalante

can I bring Hobbit?

8:22 am

Judi

*Sends Rip Taylor to Vic's island* Confetti throwing and silly jokes to follow.

8:22 am

Vicuna

You're welcome to come any time Haz, but I have to warn you... This global warming has me worried. The waters of madness are rising...

8:23 am

Haz1558

I started to think global warming might be more than a myth. I saw a wasp yesterday. In November!

8:24 am

jacq

same here Haz, we had to get the exterminator guy out because we thought they were trying to build a nest

8:24 am

Atalante

kent animals and plants are very confused this year

8:24 am

Atalante

we still have birds nesting in our gutters

8:24 am

Haz1558

Wasps are a blessed nuisance. Hateful things.

8:24 am

Vicuna

There's no doubt that weather patterns are getting more erratic.

8:24 am

jacq

i'm in the north east coast of scotland, we have crocuses and insects and flies galore

8:25 am

jacq

well i was

8:25 am

Haz1558

For which reference you find yourself in PB (fl5)

8:25 am

Vicuna

Oh, thanks for that, jacq and Haz!

8:26 am

Judi

Best just to blame all the sheep, jacq.

8:26 am

Haz1558

It's FM's fault, ultimately.

8:26 am

Atalante

of course

8:26 am

Vicuna

Are you calling FM a sheep, Haz?

8:26 am

Atalante

phantom: teiid

8:27 am

Haz1558

Not at all, not at all.

8:27 am

Atalante

as Haz imitates a leprechaun

8:27 am

Haz1558

There's nothing ovine about FM. It's just that she's handy to blame for most things.

8:27 am

Haz1558

To be sure, to be sure, to be sure.

8:28 am

Vicuna

Just making sure, Haz.

8:28 am

Haz1558

(And can I assure you that I have never heard any Irish person say that)

8:28 am

Judi

Stay a way from the Troll Spray, Haz. Leprechauns have been known to be mistaken for trolls.

8:28 am

bfsog

jacq i am in NE Scot too. small world. hey all

8:28 am

Atalante

any further news on the sock-eater?

8:28 am

Haz1558

There was a court case recently where one woman sued another for racial abuse after being called a leprechaun.

8:28 am

Vicuna

Ahh, but leprechauns aren't Irish people... they're soulless denizens of Faery.

8:29 am

Haz1558

No further news, Ata. I couldn't get over how casual he was about the whole episode.

8:29 am

Atalante

make sure you find out the whole story later :)

8:30 am

Haz1558

I will. I'll let you know of further developments.

8:30 am

redturtlehead

I must run to an appointment and stop being glued to tv, no actual news anyway.....bleh Have a nice day everyone.

8:30 am

Vicuna

Bye, redturtle. I didn't even realize you were here, so hello, too.

8:30 am

Haz1558

Bye red.

8:31 am

redturtlehead

Its ok I was on phone with Mom so not chatting.

8:31 am

redturtlehead

Poofity Poof.

8:32 am

Atalante

*giggles off-screen* Hobbit is still prancing around madly after her bath

8:32 am

Judi

I'm off too. Mush shower before brunch with my girlfriends. Ta ta for now.

8:32 am

Vicuna

Is she a glamour queen now, Ata?

8:32 am

Haz1558

Does she do the trying to get outside again thing?

8:33 am

Haz1558

Have a good mush shower. Is it the latest thing?

8:33 am

Vicuna

Bye Judi. No offense, but a mush shower sounds counterproductive.

8:33 am

Atalante

no, she just prances and dances and shakes and tears round the house at 50mph, and nests in rugs, and prances more

8:33 am

Atalante

she will be when she's dry!

8:33 am

Atalante

I did use - *ahem* - Black Pearl Beauty Shampoo for Black Dogs

8:34 am

Haz1558

You never did!

8:34 am

Vicuna

oh my goodness, what a diva! =)

8:34 am

Atalante

I did!!

8:34 am

Haz1558

How is a dog meant to know her place (outside kennel with gruel) when you do that.

8:34 am

Atalante

I find it utterly amusing. It *stinks*

8:34 am

Haz1558

Is there black dye in it?

8:35 am

Atalante

there is- hang on - black pearlescent pigments that make a black coat more shiny and black

8:35 am

Atalante

apparently

8:35 am

Haz1558

Black dye, then.

8:36 am

Haz1558

It's Grecian 2000 in doggy form.

8:36 am

Haz1558

Shoe polish would probably work just as well.

8:36 am

Vicuna

Must guess word in a grid my offspring have devised. Back in a mo.

8:36 am

Atalante

see, it's true: http://tinyurl.com/6rvbk4

8:37 am

Haz1558

But her roots, Ata, what about her roots?

8:37 am

Atalante

didn' t think of that!

8:37 am

Atalante

I just find it so funny that such things are available. Blaack Pearl, indeed!

8:38 am

Haz1558

I wonder if there's anything I could get to touch up Spangle's 'eyebrows'. She's getting a bit white there.

8:38 am

Sandieangel

Can anyone clue the de6/27 plz?

8:38 am

Atalante

she's half white anyway!

8:39 am

Atalante

Hobbit's muzzle is getting very grey, poor babe

8:39 am

Haz1558

I know, but some of the bits that should be red are no longer.

8:39 am

Haz1558

I don't have it yet, Sandie.

8:39 am

Sandieangel

It's really got me stumped.

8:40 am

Haz1558

Let me have a look.

8:40 am

Atalante

has she got spottier as she got older? I know Willow has, she's all over spotty now at 12 when she was much more big blotches of black and white as a pup

8:40 am

Sandieangel

Oh I have it!

8:41 am

Haz1558

de6/27 - to make someone confused over something

8:41 am

Haz1558

I don't see her as being much spottier than she was as a puppy.

8:42 am

Atalante

hmmm must just be Willow, she looks like a different dog now from her younger days

8:43 am

Vicuna

Bye, Ata. I'm off to vote as soon as the kids finish their snack.

8:57 am

Haz1558

Vote? There's an election?

8:57 am

Vicuna

Nah, nothing important, Haz. no big deal.

8:58 am

Haz1558

I thought not. Nobody had mentioned anything about it.

8:58 am

EvaNadine

nothing that really matters or affects anyone, haz...

8:58 am

Vicuna

SOme trifling local thing. Dogcatcher or something.

8:58 am

JBV

good morning, everyone - just got home from voting - settling down to find a few more words - how are you all?

8:59 am

Vicuna

Hello, EvaN. Hello, JBV.

8:59 am

periwinkle

lovely day here, may go do some errands, since the sun is out

8:59 am

periwinkle

bbl

8:59 am

Haz1558

Good, good. I keep my ear to the ground and would hate to think I'd missed anything important.

8:59 am

Vicuna

Bye, peri.

8:59 am

EvaNadine

waited in line so long to vote that my back was hurting by the time i got out!
also needed to have maintenence men come by today, so i decided to work from home...

9:00 am

periwinkle

no long lines here

9:00 am

JBV

eva where do you live? we had no lines at our local polling place - junior h.s.

9:00 am

periwinkle

ok, bye

9:00 am

Vicuna

I'm planning to bring a bunch of picture books with me, so I can read to the kids in line if necessary.

9:00 am

EvaNadine

i got in line around 6:50am and didnt get out until after 8

9:00 am

EvaNadine

JBV -- im just outside DC. gonna be a busy day for our polling places!

9:01 am

gran

ro 7/36 clue please

9:01 am

JBV

that's nice, vi - I brought a magazine but was in and out in under 5 minutes

9:01 am

Vicuna

Well, that's even nicer, JBV!

9:01 am

JBV

eva, just checked your profile - bethesda, yes I can imagine it will be busy - My husband worked in Bethesda for a while when we lived in Arlington

9:02 am

EvaNadine

i worry about the fed gov workers -- the gov gives you an hour leeway for voting, but i think its gonna take most people longer than that...
i just hope people dont skip out because of it!

9:02 am

Vicuna

It's stupid that it isn't a Federal Holiday altogether.

9:03 am

FMitch

Afternoon all :)

9:03 am

JBV

agree, vi - if everyone had the day off there would be no excuse for not voting

9:03 am

EvaNadine

it was the first year i worked here -- i started my job the day before election day + i remember we got election day off!

9:03 am

Haz1558

Good afternoon FMitch.

good morning everyone

9:04 am

Haz1558

VI is taking the children out to read to them. She's so devoted.

9:05 am

FMitch

perhaps she is going to read the riot act to them?

9:05 am

FMitch

Hello flosey

9:06 am

Haz1558

You do realise that before things would get out of control, a police superintendent would literally read The Riot Act to the assembled potential troublemakers?

9:06 am

Haz1558

Just so they would know that they were about to get into trouble.

9:06 am

FMitch

was that what you did before you became the Chief of Police then ;)

9:07 am

Haz1558

Yes indeed. Many a riot has been broken up that way.

9:07 am

FMitch

Actually that do4 ring vague bells.

9:08 am

Haz1558

I think it's great. Imagine the hush falling over the crowd so that they could hear all the heretofore and wherefores.

9:08 am

FMitch

lol

9:10 am

FMitch

Aloyisius

hurshy, i just heard that the last "early" voters in Fla. voted at 1am, after a 9 hour wait... that is criminal!

11:26 am

i don't see what the advantage is to voting early if you have to wait in line anyway!

11:26 am

periwinkle

thanks Aloy

11:26 am

hurshy

but, i do feel that it's a bit of a badge of honor to have waited a couple hours. :)

Go Nono! dang. TThank ye Haz.

11:37 am

LoriP

It's gorgeous here, I should be outside doing something constructive.

11:37 am

72 Temple Owl

any cat experts here! heard a very sad puzzling cat story the other day.

11:37 am

Aloyisius

how nice, Haz... are you able to take Spangle off her leash anywhere along the way so she can snuffle in the leaves?

11:37 am

kje

any sq?

11:37 am

hurshy

oh dear, not a sad cat story :(

11:37 am

Haz1558

Not on this occasion, Aloy, just kept up a brisk pace. There are other places we can visit where she can be left off the lead.

11:38 am

Haz1558

No sq words.

11:38 am

LoriP

I have no sq kje, but my s's aren't don either

11:38 am

Aloyisius

a cat-a strophic story?

11:38 am

kje

ty

11:38 am

72 Temple Owl

yes. owner feels it's realted to pregnancy - at time the heartbeat was evident, cat began to growl and attack her. a coincidence?

11:39 am

Aloyisius

ooh... i would take that cat right to the vet

11:39 am

Aloyisius

she is not feeling well..

11:39 am

hurshy

yeah, i second the vet motion. she might be in pain and that could explain the reaction.

11:39 am

72 Temple Owl

cat proceeded to jekyl and hyde for a few weeks before they gave her back to the shelter. they had owned her three years.

11:40 am

Haz1558

I'll declare my non-expert status and hazard a guess that it might be a strong nesting instinct coming into play too early.

11:40 am

hurshy

oh dear :(

11:40 am

72 Temple Owl

cat chekced out fine, they wanted her to go to a behavior specilaist.

11:40 am

Haz1558

At what cost?

11:40 am

72 Temple Owl

the woman's or the cat's?

11:40 am

BzznBea

Was the cat pregnant or the women?

11:40 am

hurshy

had they wanted to breed her?

11:41 am

cybernan

no 6 following little bumps, please?

11:41 am

BzznBea

woman

11:41 am

Haz1558

The cat's instinct. Some animals go into protective overdrive, though it's more often when they give birth.

11:41 am

72 Temple Owl

LOL sorry just read back - the woman was pregnant.

11:41 am

hurshy

ohhhhhhh

11:42 am

Haz1558

Oh, the WOMAN. Let's rewind all the hypotheses.

11:42 am

Aloyisius

h'mm, i was thinking the cat too

11:42 am

72 Temple Owl

the woman linked it to the time the hearbeat was evident. the woman, being 42 and first time pregnant, was heartbroken but could not keep the cat,

11:42 am

kje

no idea cyber

11:43 am

72 Temple Owl

the shelter kept the cat as an office cat, did not try to adopt it out again.

11:43 am

Aloyisius

no + take your **** of medicine as prescribed, cybernan

11:43 am

NonoNanette

cybernan that no6 is a type of caffeine pill

11:43 am

Yea! Found my last f's, and thanks Nono, Aloy, that was my missing n.

11:44 am

Aloyisius

gj, Lori

11:45 am

NonoNanette

wtg Lori

11:46 am

72 Temple Owl

so - weird coincidence? cats are so attuned to sensory stimuli esp smells...it's a frightening story.

11:47 am

LoriP

More than 2 lu's?

11:47 am

Haz1558

Only 2.

11:47 am

NonoNanette

r's are finished!

11:47 am

LoriP

Yea Nono! Thanks Haz

11:47 am

Haz1558

TO - really not sure what to say. There's a lot more going on with animals than we may ever know.

11:47 am

Aloyisius

maybe the cat was spayed and she was jealous?

11:48 am

LoriP

Keeps fishing by mentioning 5 los?

11:48 am

Haz1558

I don't think a cat would know that it was spayed.

11:48 am

Haz1558

6 lo words.

11:48 am

72 Temple Owl

not to mention the woman's behavior definitely changed.

11:49 am

Haz1558

The woman changed? In what way?

11:49 am

hurshy

toward the cat, or just in general?

11:49 am

Aloyisius

lol, i'm being silly willy Haz

11:49 am

72 Temple Owl

however, i wondered if anyone had heard of anything linked to pregnancy - i have heard of jealousy lined to babies, at times.

11:49 am

LoriP

Thanks Haz

11:50 am

72 Temple Owl

well i would think someone who was surprised by a pregnancy so lat ein life would be very very cautious, don't you? in the end that was why she could not keep the animal, too risky.

11:50 am

cybernan

that re 8 has me stumped -- tried adding all my de 6's to it.

11:51 am

72 Temple Owl

however, not trying to bring chat down, just puzzling. haz you are right,. i have come to believe that animals some animals are sentient beings.

11:51 am

LoriP

re + to go against an order (plural)

11:51 am

hurshy

i dunno, it's hard to say... my cats... well, they know that i'm the biggest cat.

11:51 am

Haz1558

Then you miss a word that means refusing to do what you're told, cybernan. Make it even more obstinate to become re8.

11:51 am

kje

re8 - add PT to re6... re6... like a spa or camp...etc

11:52 am

LoriP

I've never heard of anything like it TO

11:52 am

Haz1558

You're not bringing chat down at all. Animals are puzzling, lots of research being done into how they know or detect particular conditions.

11:52 am

elisabeth hasselbeck was so cute on survivor, who knew she would turn into this?

12:13 pm

though, to be fair, i think she'll think it's the wrong direction for the country, but i doubt she'll go ballistic.

12:13 pm

te 6/24?

12:15 pm

good question cnan...

12:16 pm

nan use a couple of tiles worth 2points on the 2nd te4/4

12:16 pm

just found Klinger's home town in the process of looking, though

12:17 pm

i felt so neat in my voting line, cause i was way in the minority

12:18 pm

hurshy

skin wise i mean

12:18 pm

caitlyn

Goodfor you hurshy

12:18 pm

I wanna vote. Everyone's voting today!

12:18 pm

I voted Friday

12:19 pm

caitlyn

Oh okay then Ata you can

12:19 pm

cybernan

been trying that cait, but getting nowhere

12:19 pm

hurshy

it was so funny, too, cause it turned into this sort of... reunion, there were all these people who hadn't seen each other in a long time and ran into each other while voting

12:19 pm

hurshy

there must be some website where international votes get counted, just for the heck of it...

12:19 pm

cybernan

did you have to wait long in line, hurshy?

12:20 pm

cybernan

I think Canadians should be able to vote -- just about everything your government does affects us too!

12:20 pm

hurshy

"2 hours," she said proudly

12:20 pm

phandmd

Can anyone explain to me why a kid over the age of 12 is not supposed to accompany a parent to the voting booth?

12:20 pm

phandmd

I find it totally stupid

12:20 pm

cybernan

good for you hurshy

12:21 pm

phandmd

You had wait 2 hours to vote Hurshy?

12:21 pm

hurshy

...i suppose nobody's supposed to accompany anyone to the voting booth but they make an exception for the under 12 group cause they can't take care of themselves yet?

12:21 pm

cybernan

privacy issue, maybe?

12:21 pm

kje

it is stupid phan

12:21 pm

phandmd

It's my child what is there to keep private?

12:21 pm

SamanthaJoy

Beats me, phand. It's about as ridiculous as people not being allowed to wear Obama or McCain t-shirts when they vote

12:22 pm

hurshy

yes phan - our area has never had such high turnout, from what i heard. i mean, i just moved here, but, that was the word in the voting line.

12:22 pm

cybernan

that I understad samantha -- no campaigning at the polling station.

12:22 pm

Haz1558

Time to go. Back tomorrow. Bye for now.

12:22 pm

Atalante

your child might influence you!!! they might make you vote differently from your conscience! or some such guff

12:22 pm

phandmd

I didn't have to wait at all, but the polling place was busy

12:22 pm

phandmd

oh please, that is ridiculous

12:22 pm

SamanthaJoy

Wearing a tshirt is not campaigning, for crying out loud.

12:23 pm

kje

disagree with sam though... that is about advertising within a polling place... it protects you from getting mobbed by supporters outside the polling place also... and prevents an election judge from bias in who is judged accurately registered to vote there at the site

12:23 pm

hurshy

did you see jon stewart interview barack last week and ask him about the bradley effect? it was so funny, he asked him if he was at all worried that he (obama) would get into the voting booth and find his white half resisting voting for a "black" candidate

12:24 pm

kje

LOL hursh... how did obama respond

12:24 pm

SamanthaJoy

No, prohibiting certain t-shirts does NOT "protect you from getting mobbed" by anyone. Seriously!

12:24 pm

Atalante

that was so funny

12:24 pm

hurshy

i dunno, he just said, "might be a problem" or something, joking along.

12:24 pm

Jayde287

one left

12:24 pm

Jayde287

clue for the se 6/27?

12:25 pm

kje

that is not what i meant sam... the laws prohibit campaigning within a certain distance of the polling place so that you will not be mobbed by salespeopel (essentially) when you go to vote... the space allows you to go vote, without being stopped by people or having to discuss anything on the way in or out

12:26 pm

cybernan

a 2nd book with the same characters as the first

12:26 pm

kje

and yes... a t-shirt is obviously campaigning... why else wear it... it shows support which is what campaigning for someone is

12:26 pm

hurshy

ooh thanks cnan, i was totally looking at the left S

12:26 pm

12:27 pm

cybernan

congrats kje *!* -- clue for the te 7-8 combo?

12:27 pm

SamanthaJoy

I understand the laws that prohibit campaigning. That makes sense. I just can't agree that a wearing a tshirt qualifies as "campaigning."

12:27 pm

Jayde287

good luck everyone!

12:28 pm

Jayde287

*poof*

12:28 pm

hurshy

i wonder if you're allowed to wear a t-shirt that says "Fire!" in a crowded theater...

12:30 pm

kje

think of this, sam.... you are in a small rural area... you have a t-shirt on supporting a candidate... the election judge is for the other party... they look for your name, and it is listed with a middle initial (yours) but your ID does not contain that initial... would it effect the judges decision of whether you vote or not? ... it is better if people working the polling site do not know your preference

12:30 pm

hurshy

c'mon, that's funny!

12:31 pm

kje

it eliminates an unintentional bias

12:31 pm

SamanthaJoy

Well, I see 8that* point--but the problem there is NOT the shirt you're wearing. It's the corrupt election official.

12:31 pm

kje

hard crowd today hursh... try again : )

12:31 pm

SamanthaJoy

Yes, hursh, that was funny. :-)

12:32 pm

cybernan

te 7-8 combo please?

12:32 pm

hurshy

i am 85% done with the grid

12:32 pm

Gadget

Is this a brutal grid (before I jump in)?

12:32 pm

kje

most of it is less frank corruption than it is unrecognized or subliminal bias... so better to try to eliminate what you can... while understanding it cannot all be eliminated

12:32 pm

MonkeyGames

Hello there! Boy in bed, time ot futz around here for a few minutes.

12:33 pm

hurshy

vietnam offensive + cowboy **** off into the sunset

12:33 pm

Atalante

I'm 80% done with it!

12:33 pm

kje

ooooo - TY hursh!!!

12:34 pm

hurshy

but kje, it's like, if you don't want to get raped, don't wear provocative clothes. it doesn't make it your fault if you do wear them and get raped, and there's no law against wearing them, it's just... a precaution some people like to take. so i don't think that can be the logic behind the t-shirt law.

12:34 pm

kje

i have 71 left... but am too lazy to do the math in my head

12:34 pm

kje

not at all the same hursh

12:35 pm

hurshy

it is the same in that the law doesn't usually aim to protect YOU from other people by limiting YOUR freedoms

12:35 pm

kje

the law is about campaigning

12:36 pm

kje

the law often limits your freedoms to protect you, btw... speed limits, helmet laws, etc

12:36 pm

SamanthaJoy

I do understand the campaigning aspect, though I disagree with it. But the justification you're offering is a bit off the topic, I think.

12:36 pm

hurshy

that's all i'm saying... the law is about campaigning, it isn't about making sure people don't get accidentally disenfranchised by your t-shirt.

12:36 pm

kje

i was just saying, there are ethical components as well

12:36 pm

hurshy

yes but when the law does that it is because it's in the public interest to make sure you don't cause completely unnecessary costs that the state will have to pay for.

12:36 pm

cybernan

ty hurshy

12:36 pm

stidmama

back again, break between lecturers.

12:37 pm

MonkeyGames

Just following this a bit here, so I could be way off.. but a) the t-shirt thing strikes me as an invasion of teh right to free speech(like THAT'S new), and b) it reminds me of prohibiting breastfeeding in public to "protect" the woman from people with niothing betterto do that hassle her about it-- shouldn't that be HER problem?

I fail at Babble today. I've been here two hours and am barely halfway, and I can't get any of the Qs

12:37 pm

sorry for the delay, but had to check virus scan results as an undesirable entry caught my eye.

12:37 pm

stidmama

YAY Jayde (and bye)

12:37 pm

ajschuring

sorry just lurking while working the grid. pollworkers do know your preference already because your listed whether rep or dem

12:37 pm

kje

you do not have an unlimited rght to free speech... take hursh's fire example for one

12:37 pm

MonkeyGames

No Q's here either.

12:38 pm

EspritdJean

the Q's are easy

12:38 pm

SamanthaJoy

Well, Monkey, we here in America don't actually have an absolute right to free speech.That's a bot of a myth. LOL

12:38 pm

MonkeyGames

That being of course the only two parties...

12:38 pm

stidmama

not in our state, ajschuring... we do not register by party

12:38 pm

cybernan

qu's -- a whole bunch deal with citation

12:38 pm

stidmama

hello Monkey!

12:38 pm

MonkeyGames

Which example? I just came on...

12:38 pm

ajschuring

oh we do in PA

12:38 pm

kje

that is true aj, in some states... here, it is not on your registration card... i was suprprised when i 1st moved to MD that it was listed there

12:39 pm

kje

we do not either stid

12:39 pm

stidmama

Monkey is from the states, Samantha *wink*

12:39 pm

carleekat

to qu5 hurshy "yes but when the law does that it is because it's in the public interest to make sure you don't cause completely unnecessary costs that the state will have to pay for."

12:39 pm

MonkeyGames

And the bill of rights SAYS you are supposed to have a right to free speech. That that has been legally limited doesn't change that, iot just reflects the basically unconstitutional behacvior of the US gov't.

12:39 pm

ajschuring

then can vote any party for primararies

12:39 pm

Gadget

What is the gist of the non-citation QU words...?

12:39 pm

SamanthaJoy

Also to quote hurshy--"I wonder if it's legal to wear a tshirt that says "fire" in a crowded theatre?"

12:39 pm

stidmama

AND in our state most elections are now "vote by mail" as well as so-called absentee voting available to all

12:39 pm

Yes, Samantha, Love it or leave it, eh? I emmigrated 15 years ago.

12:40 pm

stidmama

*nodding to what Monkey said*

12:40 pm

ajschuring

meant can you vote any party in primaries

12:40 pm

cybernan

ts?

12:40 pm

SamanthaJoy

No, sorry, Monkey, the BoR doesn't actually say that. It says only that *Congress* may not make a law restricting free speech, but individual states are free to do so.

12:40 pm

hurshy

t + open ***** and boils and lesions

12:40 pm

MonkeyGames

Ah, OK.

12:41 pm

kje

yes, you can vote either party in primary... but only one or the other

12:41 pm

cybernan

ty hurshy -- keep forgetting that one

12:41 pm

carleekat

thanks hursh

12:41 pm

ajschuring

oh I learned something new today lol

12:41 pm

EspritdJean

I don't understand that ts clue

12:41 pm

MonkeyGames

Reply to Hursh's example... so the plan is to eventually forbid legally anything that could cause trouble, damages, etc? Goodness! Who gets to decide what is inflammatory?

12:42 pm

stidmama

Washington now has a "top two" system, you can vote for anyone in the primary, and the top two vote getters there go on to the general election (even if from the same party)

12:42 pm

SamanthaJoy

I think the criteria used by the Supremes was whether or not it could actively injure people.

12:42 pm

stidmama

got that ts6

12:42 pm

hurshy

monkey, in the context of the discussion, my point was actually on the other end. the limiting of free speech is limited to cases in which there is a compelling public interest.

12:42 pm

Atalante

when there was segregation and slavery, wasn't there restriction of freedom of speech then, or didn't that count?

12:42 pm

ajschuring

lived in PA all my life just know what we do here. I really should get out more

12:43 pm

carleekat

ok bye then

12:43 pm

hurshy

you mean restriction of the slaves' freedom? heck yeah, but they weren't counted as citizens, so...

12:43 pm

SamanthaJoy

Well, it didn't count for the slaves--they weren't counted as citizens

12:43 pm

EspritdJean

slaves did not have any human rights

12:43 pm

Atalante

yeah, that's what I assumed. gah!

12:43 pm

stidmama

they weren't even counted as full people! (not for census purposes, anyway)

12:43 pm

MonkeyGames

Yes, a compelling public interst. Silence one group to avoid the other getting uppity.... never could really get behind that. There's a great Vonnegut about that.... Let's all strap on the loud noise distractors so the less intelligent don't get upset at us thinking faster, and the leg irons to avoid disturbing those less athletic...

12:44 pm

cybernan

the et 6 has defeated me -- help, pleae?

12:44 pm

stidmama

I think only people who play the harmonica (no matter how badly) should be allowed to speak in public. That would prevent a lot of mean people from getting into power.

12:44 pm

SamanthaJoy

No, silence one group to avoid them actively harming another group. You're kind of stretching, there, Monkey

12:44 pm

stidmama

"forever" word nan?

12:44 pm

MonkeyGames

Public interest in this context is the lowest common denominator or people get upset.

12:44 pm

hurshy

monkey, it's really not unreasonable to forbid people to engage in reckless behaviors that are likely to result in the state footing the bill for expensive rescue and medical operations, given that we have laws requiring the injured to be treated.

12:44 pm

redturtlehead

Back from my chartiy voting work...

12:45 pm

redturtlehead

How is everyone?

12:45 pm

SamanthaJoy

Nonsense. The courts have consistently shown far more integrity than you're crediting them with.

12:45 pm

MonkeyGames

Am I? I believe that silencing one group limits exposure to ideas which is basically and fundamentally harmful to society as a whole.

12:45 pm

stidmama

go red go!

12:45 pm

MonkeyGames

If someone hits me because he doesn't like my t-shirt I know who I think should be punished.

12:45 pm

SamanthaJoy

we're arguing politics, red, which, I suppose is to be expected today

12:45 pm

SamanthaJoy

Monkey, you're drawing a correlation that doesn't exist.

12:46 pm

MonkeyGames

Am I?

12:46 pm

cybernan

et 6 -- pleeeeese

12:46 pm

hurshy

but that's not what we're talking about at all, monkey. a compelling public interest would not require you to NOT wear a t-shirt in order for you to avoid getting punched, and if someone did hit you, it would be in the public interest to prosecute that person.

12:46 pm

stidmama

E + sea bird + vowel, nan

12:46 pm

EspritdJean

nan - forever and ever minus one letter

12:46 pm

MonkeyGames

To boil it down, teh argument is about whether the person expressing their views should be stifled or not, based on whether others are likely to react to thoose views. And, well, I vote no.

12:47 pm

SamanthaJoy

Yes. There's a clear difference between "not being allowed to maliciously hurt others" and "enslaving the masses," for crying out loud

12:47 pm

redturtlehead

Stid are you not coming back from Canada at least for election day??

12:47 pm

kje

that is NOT the argument MG

12:47 pm

stidmama

I voted absentee, red.... popped my ballot in the box early, as usual.

12:47 pm

Atalante

Starbucks got the word that offering free coffee to people who vote on Election Day violated the law, so now the coffee company is offering a free cup to anyone who asks on November 4

12:47 pm

cybernan

duh -- couldn't see that -- even looked for it!

12:47 pm

MonkeyGames

See, Hursh? I came in late here. I though people were saying that one is not permitted to wear the t-shirt. I guess I got that wrong?

12:47 pm

hurshy

which is exactly why i was trying to emphasize that the rationale of the t-shirt law HAS to be about campaigning and is NOT about YOU being harmed in any way for having a t-shirt on.

12:48 pm

cybernan

*!* ta da *!* - thanks for the help everyone :)

12:48 pm

SamanthaJoy

There's also a pretty clear obligation for those who live in society to not deliberately harm others in it, and a societal obligation to enforce those limitations

12:48 pm

EspritdJean

anybody got the 9?

12:48 pm

kje

woohoo cyber

12:48 pm

cybernan

lo 9 -- compound word

12:48 pm

SamanthaJoy

If you want the individual to be all, feel free to step away from the benefits that society has to offer--otherwise, learn to live with the restrictions that societies enact

12:48 pm

redturtlehead

Ata thats crazy!!!

12:48 pm

MonkeyGames

Yes, but I feel that stating my own views doesn't harm anyone. But maybe I am just a freak.

12:48 pm

BzznBea

The 9 is lo4 + st5

12:48 pm

phandmd

What? How does offering a free cup of coffee to those who vote violate the law? That is just ridiculous

12:48 pm

EspritdJean

tks nan

12:49 pm

hurshy

you are not a freak, it's just that we are arguing at cross-purposes.

12:49 pm

kje

b/c you are not allowed to pay people to vote

12:49 pm

MonkeyGames

Oh, I see. I thought in a democracy I was encouraged to take an active part in forming the society and its rules. My mistake.

12:49 pm

chik fil a is offering a chicken sammie to those with an I voted sticker...

SamanthaJoy

You're not allowed to offer gifts to people in order to get them to vote

12:50 pm

periwinkle

hey, I didn't get a sticker either

12:50 pm

phandmd

they aren't saying if you vote Obama you get free coffee

12:50 pm

periwinkle

hello all

12:50 pm

hurshy

the law states that no one may offer any monetary incentive to get people to vote. it's really unlikely that starbucks and krispy kreme and ben and jerry's would be prosecuted, but they just wanted to err on the side of caution.

12:50 pm

phandmd

I got my sticker

12:50 pm

Atalante

The California Secretary of State's spokeswoman, Nicole Winger, also confirmed Starbucks' offer of a free cup to voters was well-intentioned, but violates election rules. The free cup to anyone who asks on election day is legal.

12:50 pm

kje

red, lets go hold up a polling place and get a bunch of stickers! then we can have unlimited coffee and chicken!

12:50 pm

i guess because some people in the US cant vote it is discriminatory...

I never said anything about not following them. I just said something about not agreeing with them. That's not against the law yet, is it?

Oh for god's sake. I need to stop feeding the troll.

12:52 pm

Anyway I'm not a US coitizen anymore, and I can wear a "Balkenende Nee!" shirt at the next election here if I want to, and for very semnsible reasons I won't, but I'd be pissed off if it was illegal.

What me? Fine, if stating my opinion and participating in a debate is trolling, I bow out gracefully. Enjoy your Babbling, everyone!

12:54 pm

I don't buy that. The position stated ("People should be able to do whatever they want, whenever they want, no matter who it hurts") is so absurd that I really cannot believe it to be anything *but* trolling.

12:55 pm

inge I think most will... and I am glad to see you here.

it is unfortunately inevitable today. politics will be banned from babbble tomorrow :P

it's not really about politics... at least, it's certainly not about partisan politics... it's simply about the law... and the misunderstandings roll on...

She probably would not have voted.

1:10 pm

redturtlehead

Yes, I think its sad she didnt live to see today.

1:10 pm

SamanthaJoy

Yeah, red, and it took about two hours for people on far right websites to start speculating that she'd been euthanized, so that he'd get the sympathy vote.

1:11 pm

SamanthaJoy

People are crazy.

1:11 pm

redturtlehead

that *IS* insane.

1:12 pm

Bea, My Grandmother wasnt exactly rascist but she had no experience with people of color...

1:12 pm

She raised him from 10... what kind of racist is she supposed to have been?

1:12 pm

redturtlehead

She asked all of us Grandchildren what it was like to have African American friends...

1:12 pm

1:12 pm

Tense is right. I'm sorry about my error, Bea. Meanwhile I hope it is not seen as starting the whole politics thing again to just say this is the most important US election in a very long time. Indee, everyone is tense, worldwide.

1:15 pm

BzznBea

NO, sq, same

1:16 pm

1:16 pm

The problem is, we've been hearing "the most important" every damned election for decades, and it's usually true. Things are not going well as our Empire decides whether or not to collapse in on itself

I hope he will, Ata. I thought it was going to be Frank, but on the way to register the birth our friend talked Danny into using Zappa because "a Z as a middle initial is cool". His "main" middle name, though, is my father's name.

Aloyisius

many are "babblets", i.e., weirdo words that show up frequently, so you do learn to spot them

2:17 pm

Aloyisius

bye, carlee!

2:18 pm

milesndale

I can usu only spot the 4's and 5's at this point

2:18 pm

Aloyisius

others are just weirdo... and "newbies" have to be monkeyed or looked up

2:20 pm

Dippnall

being thick probably - but can anyone help with de 6/27?

2:20 pm

Aloyisius

for example, just found a newbie for me: so5.10, so + " I **ld you so!"

2:21 pm

Aloyisius

oops, messed that up, sorry... so + "I ***d you so"

2:22 pm

Aloyisius

milesndale

I think it'll go his way

2:33 pm

evanonut

miles, i live in pa, i wanted to kick out some of those corrupted midnight self pay raising bastards

2:33 pm

katrynwise

I was very disappointed that "goofy" wasn't on the ticket.. though I think he is just under a couple of different pseudonyms...

2:33 pm

evanonut

those are my libertarian votes

2:34 pm

Aloyisius

you tell 'em, nut!

2:34 pm

EspritdJean

Goofy won the last two elections, they had to take him off the ballot

2:34 pm

Dachef

goofy's too busy - he's currently running the UK.

2:34 pm

evanonut

ha ha ha esprit

2:34 pm

katrynwise

darn

2:34 pm

Aloyisius

lol, Dachef

2:34 pm

milesndale

sorry you feel that way--but in reality, partisan politics kinda sucks these days. Just believe in Obama

2:35 pm

Atalante

I love Jon Stewart

2:35 pm

milesndale

I mean I just believe in him! not a command

2:35 pm

evanonut

yeah, i believe in obama too miles...have to believe in someone for crying out loud

2:35 pm

milesndale

Yeah, the daily show rocks. colbert is cool too

2:35 pm

evanonut

i'd vote for bill maher in a heartbeat

2:36 pm

milesndale

too bad he didn't run. Heard religulous was funny

2:37 pm

milesndale

I wanted Hillary, but she snuffed it

2:37 pm

BNLboy

if you think partisan politics sucks why don't you support an independent?

2:37 pm

evanonut

i'll be renting religulous when it comes out

2:37 pm

EspritdJean

I love the cojones of Sarah Palin thinking she has a chance in 2012

2:37 pm

milesndale

me too. we got netflix

2:38 pm

o-o

Jay Leno: If God had intended us to vote, She would have given us candidates.

2:38 pm

evanonut

bnl, i didn't know any so couldn't write them in, as for palin...i hope she never goes away...i love to laugh too much.

2:38 pm

milesndale

yeah, I saw Tina Fey mocking that and it was funny!

2:38 pm

evanonut

independents that is bnl

2:39 pm

evanonut

who else is going to be SO happy when this is over, no matter the outcome

2:39 pm

EspritdJean

everyone

2:39 pm

kje

*raises hand*

2:39 pm

Aloyisius

well, maybe she did this go round, BR.. hope so anyway

2:39 pm

milesndale

me! But it has not been without its hysterical moments

2:40 pm

evanonut

*raises hands and feet, and butt for good measure*

2:40 pm

Aloyisius

gee, nut... i'll miss all the commercials and phone calls and junk mail..

2:40 pm

katrynwise

i'm w/ kje & esprit... I just want the pollsters to shut up...

2:40 pm

EspritdJean

those robo-phone calls are the biggest waste of money going

2:40 pm

Aloyisius

oh, hi kje, didn't see you come in

2:40 pm

milesndale

esp Sarah with her "fungible commodities"

2:41 pm

kje

curious how you can raise all 5 of those at the same time nutter

2:41 pm

o-o

with all the challenges over voter lists and election fraud already filed or promised, could be awhile before a decision

2:41 pm

milesndale

I had to look that up, so I'm sure "Joe the plumber" had no idea what it means

2:41 pm

EspritdJean

must hav something to do with mushrooms

2:42 pm

Aloyisius

my nightmares are about the electoral college, BR..

2:42 pm

BNLboy

I don't see much difference in the 2 main candidates, they both supported the patriot act, they both supported the bailout, they both voted to fund the war in iraq, and they both considered a preemptive strike on iran... it's just politics, nothing will change in the daily life of a US citizen

2:42 pm

milesndale

yes, it was edible fungus all the time

2:42 pm

ivor notion

damned yanks nothing but war-mongers!!!

2:42 pm

2:47 pm

KatieMcG

2:47 pm

EspritdJean

guess I get the PB now

2:47 pm

EspritdJean

Katie, I am a wealth of useless information

2:47 pm

milesndale

right, but ludes had a sexual effect, and people wee using them similarly to roofies--at least, in part

2:48 pm

milesndale

but yes, they were nonbarbiturate sedatives

2:49 pm

milesndale

but they stopped making them because of their abuse potential

2:49 pm

periwinkle

I am missing one of the de6/21 at the end of the de words, have the plural of a de5/12

2:49 pm

milesndale

they were moved onto schedule one I think

Atalante

2:57 pm

EspritdJean

enemy+top of hill? no comprendo!

2:57 pm

KatieMcG

me either jean

2:57 pm

milesndale

esprit, it is the latin spelling of a fe5

2:57 pm

Atalante

I tend to notice ecotown stuff cos my grandmother lives near Ford, and the whole neighbourhood down there is horrified by the whole thing

2:57 pm

KatieMcG

Joking apart thanks, I at least looked knowledgable on something as I had to confess my mistake on other things

2:58 pm

KatieMcG

ahh I thought it began with de! thanks miles

2:58 pm

Atalante

no probs!!

2:58 pm

milesndale

yw, katie

2:59 pm

Atalante

it's an english spelling, katie, with wonderful vowely-ness

2:59 pm

milesndale

I missed it, and went, "D'oh!" when it was clued

3:00 pm

kalea

sorry...lol, just as i came in, hubby came home and wanted tea

3:00 pm

Aloyisius

well, dear Babblers.. may your fav. candidates win.. fireworks tell me it is time to get back to work.. see you tomorrow. byeeeeee

3:01 pm

lynxxx

bye Aloy

3:01 pm

kalea

bye Aloy

3:01 pm

KatieMcG

congrats Aloy

3:01 pm

Aloyisius

oops, forgot to say... BR.. pax vobiscum! (-:

3:02 pm

milesndale

bye aloy, thx for clues

3:02 pm

Atalante

I have just discovered a wonderufl new word, psychopomp

3:03 pm

milesndale

isn't that a great word?

3:03 pm

kalea

lol.........is that a ceremonial neurosis?

3:03 pm

milesndale

It is a spiritual conductor of sorts

3:03 pm

Atalante

it is a particular spirit, angel, or deity whose responsibility is to escort newly-deceased souls to the afterlife

3:04 pm

milesndale

some ppl thought sparrows were

3:04 pm

kalea

ahhhhhhhh......like Andrew on "touched by an angel"

3:04 pm

KatieMcG

I hope not I don't like birds

3:04 pm

Atalante

I'm in love. I have to do a painting called "Becoming", and I was looking round the web for some sort of inspiration, and came across psychopomps

3:05 pm

milesndale

stephen king discussed it in "The Dark Half". One can actually learn much from fiction

3:05 pm

Atalante

psychopomps have been associated at different times and in different cultures with horses, whippoorwills, ravens, dogs, crows, owls, sparrows, harts, and dolphins

3:05 pm

KatieMcG

I thought the dark half was a very scary book, made you wonder how sane he was :-)

3:06 pm

milesndale

he seems quite sane to me, and he is funny as hell

3:06 pm

Atalante

was dark half "on drugs" or "off drugs"?

3:06 pm

milesndale

but I know what you mean. Pet Sematary was scarier

3:07 pm

milesndale

Off

3:07 pm

kalea

he once said that most of his stories came from his dreams.........i think i'd be scared to sleep

3:07 pm

Atalante

I haven't read many of the newer ones. You recommend it, I presume!

3:07 pm

milesndale

I think he got off around the time just after the shining

3:07 pm

KatieMcG

I think it was before his accident. I read pet sematary when I was really young (about 15) and have never reread it as it scared me so much, at the time I didn't like the cats in my room :-)

3:08 pm

Atalante

sounds about right, all his "classics" were on heroin

3:08 pm

milesndale

Yes. Some of his later stuff is kind of lame

3:08 pm

KatieMcG

Cell and Duma Key were both very good but didn't like a few of them before

3:08 pm

Atalante

ditto me and The Stand. omg. I've never been so scared!

3:08 pm

milesndale

not heroin! Alcohol and some cocaine

3:08 pm

milesndale

and some painkillers too

3:08 pm

kalea

the stand is my favorite of his

3:08 pm

Atalante

and I was about 15 when I read it too

3:08 pm

milesndale

and he smoked

3:09 pm

milesndale

I like the stand also

3:09 pm

KatieMcG

He wrote IT when sober and that is one of his best along with the Stand (driving through France and camping next to corn fields!!) and I love the Talisman

3:09 pm

kalea

It was sooooooooooooo scary

3:09 pm

milesndale

so I was about right when I said he quit right around the time just after the shining

3:09 pm

katrynwise

woo hoo... I've made it past the half way point...

3:10 pm

KatieMcG

I've read all three of them numerous times each. Still have nightmares about blood gushing from the sink

3:10 pm

milesndale

Misery was so scary I could hardly turn the page

3:10 pm

KatieMcG

congrats Katry, you are doing much better than me

3:10 pm

kalea

misery was scary, because it is so possible

3:10 pm

KatieMcG

I kept havign to close my eyes when reading misery, made for a long book

3:11 pm

katrynwise

I always make myself get at least half before I resort to a list or anything...

3:11 pm

milesndale

yes--and that whole part with the chopping of the foot--blehh

3:11 pm

Atalante

Shortly after The Tommyknockers publication in 1987, King's family and friends staged an intervention, dumping evidence of his addiction taken from the trash including beer cans, cigarette butts, grams of cocaine, Xanax, Valium, NyQuil, dextromethorphan (cough medicine), and marijuana, on the rug in front of him. As King related in his memoir, he then sought help and quit all forms of drugs and alcohol in the late 1980s, and has remained sober since.

3:11 pm

KatieMcG

I usually go to half way but might give in early today

3:11 pm

milesndale

and the chopping of the thumb

3:12 pm

Atalante

Misery on stage is really realyl scary

3:12 pm

kalea

roto

3:12 pm

milesndale

thx, ata--been awhile since I read that

3:12 pm

kalea

oops......sorry

3:12 pm

Atalante

I have to go and look up these things!

3:12 pm

KatieMcG

Oh that means he wrong most of my favs when not sober. Cell recently was very scary as it was so possible

3:12 pm

milesndale

That passage is from On Writing, right?

3:12 pm

EspritdJean

just watched Misery over the weekend (again)

3:12 pm

KatieMcG

*wrote

3:13 pm

milesndale

Kathy Bates is great!!

3:13 pm

EspritdJean

yes she was

3:13 pm

KatieMcG

I loved the Green Mile as a completely different book from him but got completely fed up with the dark towers as there were years between the books

3:13 pm

milesndale

I really like the dark tower books

3:14 pm

milesndale

but there was a long wait

3:14 pm

KatieMcG

I got fed up waiting miles, I might do all of them now they are all out. I like a book a year to 18 months like Harry Potter

3:14 pm

milesndale

well, give yourself a treat and read them.

3:14 pm

Atalante

I could *not* read the dark tower books

3:14 pm

Atalante

I tried about 4 times

3:15 pm

milesndale

But you might not like the ending

3:15 pm

KatieMcG

I'm really into the odd series by Dean R Koontz at the moment

3:15 pm

KatieMcG

I am saving the new one for holiday

3:15 pm

kalea

i love koontz

3:15 pm

milesndale

which series. He has a couple

3:15 pm

Atalante

I started reading the first one of those recently

3:15 pm

milesndale

oh, the Odd series

3:15 pm

kalea

the best odd book was brother odd

3:15 pm

KatieMcG

Yep miles

3:15 pm

Atalante

but then got hooked back again by China Mieville

3:15 pm

milesndale

Is that the one with the guy who has XP

3:16 pm

KatieMcG

I have just finished all 7 Harry Potter books again

3:16 pm

KatieMcG

Yes miles

3:16 pm

milesndale

Ooh China Mieville. Which one you reading?

3:16 pm

KatieMcG

I just think it is a great concept beautifully delivered

3:16 pm

kalea

i also like the christpher snow series by koontz

3:16 pm

Atalante

just finished Iron Council and I'm going to read The Scar again now, for the 4th time

3:16 pm

milesndale

It is interesting

3:16 pm

KatieMcG

*rushes of to find out who China Mieville is*

3:17 pm

milesndale

Better than his preposterous "talking dog" stuff

3:17 pm

Atalante

oh he's wonderful, Katie!

3:17 pm

milesndale

don't know the council. did perdido st station and the scar

3:17 pm

Atalante

iron council is new crobuzon too, it's good

3:17 pm

KatieMcG

Do you know I still don't pretend to be asleep when I'm not to the cats in case they can smell I'm awake - thank you fluke

3:18 pm

milesndale

Ever read Dean Koontz's first book?

3:18 pm

milesndale

ok, have to pick up that one!

3:18 pm

kalea

which one is that?

3:18 pm

KatieMcG

which one is it

3:19 pm

milesndale

The Demon Seed

3:19 pm

milesndale

It is so bad it's laughable

3:19 pm

kalea

yes, a looooooong time ago

3:19 pm

milesndale

he has come a long way

3:20 pm

kalea

i didn't care for "The Face" either, but i love most of his

3:20 pm

milesndale

I'm not as into him. I'm currently reading S King's son Joe HIll right now for horror

3:21 pm

KatieMcG

Not for a long time I can't really remember it. Some of his I love and others I can't be bothered with

3:21 pm

lynxxx

Start of a new day here - better go and enjoy it. Bye everyone

3:21 pm

milesndale

bye lynxxx

3:21 pm

kalea

bye lynxxx

3:21 pm

KatieMcG

bye lynxx

3:21 pm

KatieMcG

I'm going to buy China Mieville for the holiday

3:21 pm

Atalante

China Mieville is strange and wonderful, completely original if you're not used to steampunk, he writes beautifully

3:22 pm

milesndale

he was first steampunk I ever read

3:22 pm

Atalante

me too

3:22 pm

milesndale

Start out with perdido st station is my recommendation

3:23 pm

Atalante

but it's not hard-core steam punk. it's gentle steam punk, and more interesting story and characters

3:23 pm

milesndale

this is true

3:23 pm

Atalante

yes, PSS. then The Scar. then Iron Council

3:23 pm

milesndale

the treehouse thing they built for burning man is cool

3:23 pm

kje

what is steam punk?

3:24 pm

Atalante

he's one of those writers that drops you right into the story, you have to trust him and after a while you get clued in!

3:24 pm

milesndale

it's like cyberpunk, but with antique elements

3:24 pm

milesndale

hard to explain

3:25 pm

kje

never heard of it

3:25 pm

periwinkle

me either, kje

3:25 pm

Atalante

it's kind of Victorian age crossed with futuristics

like if you built a computer and put it in a cabinet from the 1800s, or the big steam driven spider from wild wild west

3:25 pm

periwinkle

would not be my cup of tea, then

3:25 pm

kje

hmmm... OK

3:25 pm

Atalante

but - say - a steam punk computer would be created out of things only around in Victorian times. So cogs adn wheels and stuff

3:26 pm

milesndale

it's weird

3:26 pm

milesndale

right--the spider thing is closer

3:26 pm

Atalante

but strangely lovely

3:26 pm

Atalante

if written well

3:27 pm

milesndale

well, anything is lovely if written well...

3:27 pm

kje

i just had to monkey od4 smell.... sheesh

3:27 pm

Atalante

apart from Dickens lol

3:27 pm

milesndale

which the vast majority of stuff on the shelves is not

3:27 pm

milesndale

I hate Dickens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3:28 pm

milesndale

and Moby Dick

3:28 pm

Atalante

same here

3:28 pm

milesndale

except a tale of two cities. that can stay

3:28 pm

Atalante

I glare at Bleak House every time I drive past it

3:28 pm

milesndale

lol

3:29 pm

milesndale

I like when Monty Python spoofs his titles. A Sale of Two Titties

3:29 pm

KatieMcG

When I was studying economics I felt I needed to be a more rounded person and read the complete works of Dickens one summer, it was a very long summer

3:29 pm

kje

LOL katie

3:29 pm

milesndale

the endless summer

3:29 pm

Atalante

Katie! omg. that's dedication

3:30 pm

milesndale

and not in a good way

3:30 pm

kje

but why ever did you choose dickens of all things... why not proust or kundera or anyone

3:30 pm

KatieMcG

The year before that I read the complete works of shakespeare

3:30 pm

periwinkle

cannot se the to4/8, hope it is not fishworthy

3:30 pm

periwinkle

wow, Katie

3:30 pm

milesndale

even a coupla harlequin romances

3:30 pm

Atalante

because Dickens Must Be Read over here

3:30 pm

KatieMcG

The year after it i did Tolken

3:31 pm

KatieMcG

i then decided that I would only read for pleasure from then on!!

3:31 pm

milesndale

well, I know that. Tolkien is more worthy, although he has his own wooden stretches

3:31 pm

kje

to4/8 - meat substiture

3:31 pm

periwinkle

sheesh, found it

3:31 pm

kje

substitute oops

3:31 pm

KatieMcG

That's true ata I always felt I was missing something until I read them!!

3:31 pm

Atalante

Tolkien is <3

3:31 pm

periwinkle

and it is something I eat, too

3:31 pm

phandmd

your TO 4/8 word: could it be something some people call food, especially vegetarian?

3:32 pm

milesndale

eeewww

3:32 pm

milesndale

but the "ice cream" is kinda good

3:32 pm

KatieMcG

I really really hated LOTR, I only finished it because I got a box set for my 21st birthday. I never got over the fact Frodo was a prat (and yes I do know he was supposed to be an anti hero

3:33 pm

milesndale

he is kind of a prat

3:33 pm

arwennn

aw, I like LOTR.

3:33 pm

milesndale

bilbo was more fun

3:33 pm

arwennn

(probably because I was named after it, ha)

3:33 pm

phandmd

a prat?

3:33 pm

periwinkle

I couln

3:33 pm

periwinkle

I could not get into LOTR

3:33 pm

Atalante

I'm part of the Tolkien Society, so I loooove Tolkien

3:33 pm

KatieMcG

I would like to like it but I just don't, love the hobbit though

3:33 pm

milesndale

the hobbit is vastly better than lotr

3:33 pm

arwennn

it's not for everyone. Tolkien tends to be long-winded.

3:34 pm

phandmd

Tokien is too hard to read for me

3:34 pm

Atalante

The Silmarillion is the best

3:34 pm

milesndale

and boring sometimes

3:34 pm

kalea

i liked LOTR......had it memorized long before any movie came out

3:34 pm

phandmd

I forced myself through the Hobbit but didn't get through the LOTR

3:34 pm

milesndale

omg--the silmrillion is very academic-iah

3:34 pm

KatieMcG

i have never finished watership down either as I get half way through and realise that I don't give a stuff about the rabbits

3:34 pm

milesndale

ish

3:34 pm

kalea

i find the stuff his son finished too dry, though

3:34 pm

periwinkle

Never even finished the Hobbit

3:34 pm

arwennn

I hate when people ask me if I'm too old to be named after the movies...

3:34 pm

milesndale

It took me three tries to make it through lotr

3:35 pm

Atalante

isn't academic-y lol. is just written in an archaic style

3:35 pm

KatieMcG

No seriously arewenn tell me they don't!!

3:35 pm

arwennn

they do. it's sad.

3:35 pm

milesndale

kept getting stuck midway through the middle

3:35 pm

milesndale

but he WAS a professor

3:35 pm

arwennn

or "ohh, so that's your nickname, right?"

3:36 pm

Atalante

yes .... he was an author too

3:36 pm

milesndale

I keep getting asked if I named myself after Miles Davis

3:36 pm

milesndale

hee!

3:36 pm

joshuavorbis

ok, i have to finish this grid now so i can go out and celebrate tonight

3:36 pm

KatieMcG

Hubby is now shaking his head about the film thing, I get the what's your real name thing all the time, somehow people don't think that should be insulting

3:36 pm

milesndale

Voting?

3:37 pm

milesndale

Hard to believe Peter Jackson started his directing career with low=budget horror

3:39 pm

KatieMcG

I have to admit I have never seen the films, didn't like the book and usually work on the principle the films are usually worse than the books. Have promised Hubby (a LOTR fanatic) I will watch them with him but have managed to stall him for over 2 years

3:39 pm

milesndale

are you celebrating voting, I mean

3:39 pm

Krysten

any have any clues for ce7? I'm missing so many!!

3:39 pm

Atalante

flask: whatever the result, i just pray the winner will take into account the thoughts of those who voted for the opposition.

4:47 pm

JBV

flask, I voted for Obama, but I am hoping to hear that the process is going smoothly with no voting irregularities or charges thereof

4:47 pm

Flask1

Do you have a preference Dorens?

4:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

and i'm off!

4:48 pm

Dorens

I do flask, I strongly prefer Obama. McCain and Palin scare me, but I do agree with what owl said about the "other side" no matter who wins

4:48 pm

godthaab

72: Why should he? The last two winners didn't!

4:49 pm

redturtlehead

gothaab, the idea is that Obama can be a bigger man than the last two winners.

4:49 pm

Flask1

A vote for complete peace would be good....says I

4:49 pm

Dorens

and I expect he will be..

4:50 pm

godthaab

I haven't seen the news. Is it Obama?

4:50 pm

Flask1

Well he certainly can't be any worse.......he would get my vote anyway!

4:50 pm

7:24 pm

milesndale

do you have some condition that prohibits you from imbibing those liquids, tyger?

7:24 pm

I'm off the e's now and into the eff words.

7:49 pm

herinfernallady

OH OHOOHOHHO Green that sounds awesome

7:49 pm

kje

I quote....nauÂ·seous
Pronunciation:
\ËˆnoÌ‡-shÉ™s, ËˆnoÌ‡-zÄ“-É™s\
Function:
adjective
D
ate:
1612
1 : causing nausea or disgust : nauseating
2 : affected with nausea or disgust
â€” nauÂ·seousÂ·ly adverb
â€” nauÂ·seousÂ·ness noun
usage Those who insist that nauseous can properly be used only in sense 1 and that in sense 2 it is an error for nauseated are mistaken. Current evidence shows these facts: nauseous is most frequently used to mean physically affected with nausea, usually after a linking verb such as feel or become; figurative use is quite a bit less frequent. Use of nauseous in sense 1 is much more often figurative than literal, and this use appears to be losing ground to nauseating. Nauseated is used more widely than nauseous in sense 2.

7:50 pm

herinfernallady

See we have NBC and CNN live here

7:50 pm

Jacula

But that is today's misconception of the word, kje.

7:50 pm

jillibus

kje -- source, please?

7:51 pm

oooh, kje, I see you've joined us back here in the states? I hope it's not too soon!

I'm all for language changing and growing with the times but the original meanings should be stood by.

7:51 pm

jillibus

herin -- that's fabulous!

7:51 pm

kje

i only came back today to vote.... leaving again soon

7:51 pm

milesndale

gah! finally got that et6!

7:51 pm

AsGreen

you guys are cracking me up. I say, "I feel nauseous" - should I be saying "I feel nauseated"?

7:51 pm

jillibus

Hah -- American!

7:52 pm

kje

that is ridiculous jac... language evolves... deal with it : )

7:52 pm

jillibus

yes, you should, AsGreen

7:52 pm

Jacula

Yes, ASG, you should. Otherwise just say you feel sick.

7:52 pm

pam

usage note from dictionary.com: Usage Note: Traditional critics have insisted that nauseous is properly used only to mean "causing nausea" and that it is incorrect to use it to mean "affected with nausea," as in Roller coasters make me nauseous. In this example, nauseated is preferred by 72 percent of the Usage Panel. Curiously, though, 88 percent of the Panelists prefer using nauseating in the sentence The children looked a little green from too many candy apples and nauseating (not nauseous) rides. Since there is a lot of evidence to show that nauseous is widely used to mean "feeling sick," it appears that people use nauseous mainly in the sense in which it is considered incorrect. In its "correct" sense it is being supplanted by nauseating.

7:52 pm

Jacula

kje - please do not tell me do 'deal with it'. Language is my profession.

7:53 pm

jillibus

yes, pam

7:53 pm

herinfernallady

interesting

7:53 pm

Anyway, let's not all fall out over a word. Far more important things are at stake, like finishing the grid and who'll be the next 'ruler of the world'.

I understand that kje - but the vernacular is not always correct or acceptable. Having said that, I love English because it evolves and grows. Doesn't mean I always have to like it, though.

8:02 pm

Jacula

Cad- the vernacular is incorrect to the 'keepers' of the language, I guess. The vernacular often has to do with pronunciation and accents. Increasingly, due to deaf youngesters (ipods too loud etc.) the vernacular is due to mispronunciation due to mishearing.

There are and always have been, Mrs. Malaprops, like my Gran - in the 70s she talked of 'those new castanet recorders/that new bionic washing powder' etc. My Mum, just the other day, said we had a 'sonic' fountain in the garden. Then there are the things kids say - 'chilli gone barmy', 'radigator'. Stepdaughter went off to get me 'semi-skilled' milk from the shop last year. Kids do a combination of mishearing and making a word the nearest to something they know.

8:49 pm

hurshy

red: from wiki: Although by his own account he was not particularly political before joining the cast of The Daily Show, Colbert is a self-described Democrat.[64][65] In an interview at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard Institute of Politics, he stated that he has "no problems with Republicans, just Republican policies."

8:49 pm

I smoke tobacco and drink alcohol, but I don't do 'drugs'. LOL.

8:50 pm

kje

hahaha... imagining feather rumbling

8:50 pm

Dorens

he is convincing, red, i'll agree

8:51 pm

kje

she has been taking lessons from her 5 year old students apparently

8:51 pm

hurshy

the beautifullest thing was that in exit polls, people who said race mattered and people who said race didn't matter voted pretty much the same way, which kinda means... race doesn't matter! and more people said age was an issue for them than people that said race was an issue

8:51 pm

redturtlehead

now now, lets not fight, sets bad example for peoples

8:52 pm

kalea

i don't put a lot of faith in exit polls

8:54 pm

Jacula

If these disputes continue we may need to do a 'pic of my black eye' day later.

8:54 pm

kje

why must I back down... she started it... she put up her "dukes" first!!!

8:54 pm

hurshy

of course we have further to go. but this is still HUGE

8:54 pm

redturtlehead

I think we have taken a big step, but not the full step whatever that is.

8:54 pm

may i ask something? i can understand that you favor one candidiate and his poilcies over another. but why the vitriol? why is it personal to you?

10:21 pm

Twinkie

mccain is being very gracious and really seems moved.

10:21 pm

herinfernallady

Pini i beileve that his speach is wired into his ear

10:21 pm

I wish he would call Barak the President....rather than Senator.

it's so awfully sad that obama's grandma died

Wonderfully gracious and unifying speech by McCain -- revolting audience

10:23 pm

herinfernallady

Twinkie it needs binning to

10:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

i don't believe that. mccain went as far as he did because no one can win as an indipendent in this country. without the party support he had no chance at all.

10:24 pm

milesndale

twink, where is the news on prop8?

10:24 pm

pam

I have seen it on both sides here, TO. More against mccain, but I have certainly seen it all here. And, I didn't see any hatespeak here today.

10:24 pm

McCain is a good man, it was too bad he let the campaign get ugly

10:24 pm

Well, Pam, I did call the McCain Palin team Caribou barbie and also the Loosers.

10:24 pm

Twinkie

am talking w/ my sis in CA, said it was 52% to 46% or something like that

10:24 pm

mccain suffered much for this country. no one should forget that.

10:25 pm

TO. No one is saying otherwise but that doesn't make him a good leader.

10:25 pm

milesndale

oh, man if prop 8 passes there will be hell to pay!

10:25 pm

redturtlehead

I dont think anyone has forgotten that. He is respected by me, but I did not particularly want him to be the President.

10:25 pm

jillibus

red, you mean Losers -- Loosers are people who set others free

10:25 pm

Twinkie

my hope re: prop 8 is that all the appeals against it will keep it in the courts forevert and it will never get enacted

10:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

nor does it not make him a good leader.

10:26 pm

redturtlehead

Oops.

10:26 pm

pam

He did suffer, TO. A lot of people have. I don't take that away from him, I wiah his party hadn't cut the aid to returning vets....

I think this is an excellent speech. I do think the Boos are Horrid.

10:27 pm

I know, TO. But if sending vets to war is OK, so is their after care.

10:30 pm

i think it is the most disgraceful thing that mccain has had to endure booing at his own rallies. i think he is a very honorable man for how he (personally, not the campaign) handled things. i wrote him in for pres in 2000 and i wish he had been pres for the past 8 years.

10:30 pm

I was raised for my first 2+ years in the Bronx! and a s a registerd Rep (since my 18th BD) I voted for Bob Barr...McCain is so out of touch with reality, and gone are the days, or maybe it's because of the widespread use of increasing technology, of seemingly honest and forthright men (and women) being elected because they were honest and forthright..no hint of a scandal anywhere...I shall retire to my fishbowl now....with an occasional game of Babble of course!

10:49 pm

hurshy

i'm glad it's over too... but right now i'm just sort of sitting in awe of the momentousness of this day.

Twinkie

so little by little, the prop 8 is tipping toward a NO. it was 56/44, then 55/45, now 54/46....

10:51 pm

jillibus

herin, your spelling is awesome!

10:51 pm

mab

what is prop 8?

10:51 pm

jillibus

what is prop * about?

10:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

OMG pab are you *gas* a republican? here, over here, i'll hide you

10:51 pm

herinfernallady

My spelling is shocking. I'm am so sorry. I forgot to hit spell check. AND i keep forgetting which loose or lose to use.

10:51 pm

Twinkie

prop 8 is in CA. Bans gay marriage (or defines "marriage" as "between male and female")

10:52 pm

Twinkie

so i want it to be a big fat NO

10:52 pm

herinfernallady

PRob 8 is to ban gay marriages

10:52 pm

hurshy

only 41 years ago - so, IN Obama's lifetime - there were still states where his parents' marriage would have been illegal. and today he has been elected president. it makes me feel the way i feel about parking garages - a sense of wonder (how DO they build things that can hold tons of cars?)

10:52 pm

redturtlehead

My Favorite COusin is a very conservative Republican TO....I love him but I am not too fond of his polictics

10:52 pm

mab

oh right...

10:52 pm

Twinkie

my best friend just married his male partner last week in fear that prop 8 would pass

10:52 pm

herinfernallady

Twinkie did you see that tinyurl that my friend wrote about it?

10:52 pm

redturtlehead

and Amendement 2 in Florida is the same thing.

10:52 pm

redturtlehead

but no noe paid attention to Amendment 2.

10:53 pm

Jacula

Herin - loose is a little flappy around the edges and lose ia 'where are you@'

10:53 pm

Twinkie

yes, herin, i was looking at it--thanks for the url. didn't read the whole thing, tho, am watching too many things at once

10:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

what is the difference if a civil contract gives same sex partners the rights of a spouse but does not call it a marriage?

10:53 pm

herinfernallady

Well said Hurshy

10:53 pm

herinfernallady

Ta Jac. It just doesn't sit in my brain.

10:54 pm

herinfernallady

Twinkie I agree with her whole heartedly. Oh and she is Christian and married

10:54 pm

pam

It doesn't gove the same rights, TO. In the US, because of DOMA, there is no Social Security etc. If there were no DOMA, then a civil contract would be great

10:54 pm

jillibus

I second herin, hursh -- Obama soon to speak -- meanwhile crowds around the White House...

10:54 pm

redturtlehead

TY Pam.

10:55 pm

PAV3

and we have one here in AZ as well, tht'll prob swing the other way, making marriage for only 1 man 1 woman...it also cuts out benes for unmarried folks (common law) etc. but the biggest issue is defining marriage, as if our state Constitut did n't already have that ... what a waste ...a lot of my friends will prob also leave Az now...

10:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

i don't know what is DOMA

10:55 pm

of course, social security is going to go kaput with the aging population anyway, pam...

10:56 pm

redturtlehead

Oh I must say I suppose it was alright for Obama to measure the drapes. eh....

10:56 pm

pam

Heck, marriage wasn;t my choice for civil rights action--I like the libertarians on it--but once it was defined, civil unions became second class....

10:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

10:59 pm

Jacula

Ainsley Harriott travelled to the West Indies to uncover his roots and soon discovered that Caribbean history isn't quite as 'black and white' as he'd imagined.

Ainsley thought he already knew a lot about his father's side of the family. He'd been told that his great-grandparents, on the maternal line, had come to Jamaica as indentured labourers from India. But when he began his research, he was shocked to find himself heading down a very different path in his family's history.

He had thought that the Harriott ancestry was straightforward. Ainsley knew his great-grandfather was in the colonial West India Regiment, and had assumed that they were descended from slaves.

In Barbados, he confirmed that his great-grandfather had a distinguished military career, and learnt that he had fought for the British Empire in the Sierra Leone 'Hut Tax War' â€“ an increasingly violent protest against British tax collecting in the protectorate.

But he also encountered some extraordinary family details. He discovered how, in the time of slavery, one of his ancestors, an unmarried 'free black' woman, accumulated enough money to buy seven houses. His next discovery was even more surprising. Ainsley's great-great-grandfather, James Gordon Harriott, wasn't a black slave as he had thought, but the descendant of a long line of white slave owners.
