12:57 am

westford

My cat scratched me on the face yesterday when I picked her up... she got startled too

12:58 am

herinfernallady

3:34 am

sprite

must be afk for a while, my mother is here to pick up my daughter.

3:35 am

lilliann

ttfn sprite

3:43 am

LoriP

G'd morning Babblers!

3:44 am

lilliann

hi lori

3:46 am

sprite

back. hi Lori.

3:52 am

sprite

every time my mother is here to pick up one of the kids, the kids hug us as we are used to do, and she starts crooning: "Ohhhhh are you sure you can come? Aren't you afraid you will get homesick?"
Today I told her off. Feels good :)

3:53 am

lilliann

are they going for the weekend?

3:54 am

sprite

yes, she picks th4 up on saturday morning and we collect them at her place sunday evening.

3:55 am

lilliann

is that every weekend?

3:56 am

sprite

no, just once in a while.

3:56 am

lilliann

if they were homesick, they wouldn't want to go

3:57 am

LoriP

That corner p certainly crankks out the 8's.

3:58 am

sprite

they are never homesick, not in a weekend anyway. They enjoy going. It is just that my mother always mocks them about the hugging.

3:58 am

sprite

that corner P keeps bugging me with potato and potato he4.

3:58 am

lilliann

i take it she'isn't much of a hugger then sprite

4:00 am

sprite

she likes it when the kids hug her, but ridicules them when they hug us. As if hugging your parents is only ok when you are 4 yo.

4:00 am

lilliann

i still like a hug from my mam and dad, especially as we don't get to see eachother much

4:01 am

lilliann

i love a cuddle with the bairn aswell, i've always been a huggy person, but my hubby isn't

4:01 am

LoriP

hah! Finished the corner p. They tried to sneak a pt word in there. ***ignoring the other p***

4:02 am

sprite

we are a very hugging family, my hubby, me and the kids. Even our son of 12 yo still wants his share of hugs. And I wouldn't want it any other way.
It is my mother's dislike of me that is causing her remarks. I am glad I told her to stop it today in a way that my kids didn't feel bad about.

4:03 am

sprite

what is bairn, lill? Your kids? "Feels" like a great word.

4:03 am

lilliann

yes, it means children

4:04 am

sprite

does it have a singular as well?

4:04 am

lilliann

i just have 1 with and hubby and he has 3 others, all grown up now

4:04 am

lilliann

bairn is the singular

4:05 am

lilliann

fireworks at last!!

4:05 am

sprite

ok, then what is the plural? Or does it stay the same?

4:05 am

sprite

wtg lill! Congrats.

4:05 am

lilliann

am off to bed now as i'm feeling really tired now!

4:06 am

LoriP

Congratualtions lilliann!

4:06 am

4:19 am

4:20 am

4:20 am

LoriP

4:21 am

4:37 am

elder

Good morning everyone.

4:38 am

LoriP

G'd morning elder! How was your excursion yesterday?

4:40 am

elder

Hello LoriP. It went well. I managed to walk round one shop and purchased a few items for Christmas, before I had to rest. Although painful it felt good to be doing normal stuff.

4:43 am

LoriP

Good for you elder! A bit at a time. Musta' felt good to get out. :)

4:45 am

elder

Lorip, yes and either today or tomorrow will test out car driving and then plan return to work. It should be ok as I can now sit without being in pain.

4:46 am

elder

and my job consists mostly of sitting down.

4:47 am

LoriP

All things in their time elder. Don't push it.

4:49 am

elder

I know but I have been off so long, many months and usually after being way for so long, you have a gradual plan return to work.

4:49 am

chickieo8

GMEO...:)

4:50 am

elder

Hello Chick.

4:50 am

chickieo8

hiya elder,hows the grid today?

4:51 am

LoriP

G'd morning hodag!

4:51 am

elder

Chick, not long arrived, it looks ok ish.

4:51 am

chickieo8

hey lori,hows tricks?

4:52 am

elder

Chick, may I ask why you changed your name.

4:52 am

chickieo8

that is what I was thinking.........:)

4:52 am

LoriP

I is good thanks. :D

4:54 am

chickieo8

sure elder,not many people new what a Hodag was and since I have a small chicken farm I changed it to this.:)

4:55 am

chickieo8

I am glad you is good Lori me also................:>)

4:55 am

elder

Oh, :)

4:56 am

chickieo8

Isell fresh farm eggs and that pays for thier food and gives me my play money plus thier fun....:>)

4:57 am

elder

Sounds good Chick, all that fresh produce and pennies.

5:01 am

chickieo8

I have about 1/2 a doz. regular buyers and I sell them just ubder the store price. Mine are bigger and better and I am never with out eggs for myself. My two youngest grandkids love to come out and feed and collect the eggs for grandma. It is much fun....:>)

5:01 am

chickieo8

oops bad typing.:(

5:03 am

elder

I remember, as a child feeding the chickens at my Grandparents house.two pain worries 1, not to let them escape from their huge free runs and 2, not let them peck my toes. Happy carefree memories.

5:03 am

LoriP

I miss fresh eggs, and REAL milk.

5:04 am

elder

You could probably sell them for a little more as they are free range.

5:04 am

elder

should have read 'main' not pain

5:05 am

LoriP

Chickens were evil, as I recall from my childhood. Many scratches....

5:06 am

elder

LoriP. lol

5:06 am

elder

LoriP, did you tease them ?. :)

5:07 am

LoriP

Nope, they were just born evil. Every single one of 'em.

5:07 am

LoriP

I'd take the cows, and the shovelling, and the milking over evil chickens, any day.

5:08 am

elder

I thought cows were easier and pigs just perfect.

5:09 am

chickieo8

I don't let mine run free because they scratch up mt flower beds. I have a large fenced in area along and across the back of the barn for them with an entry way inside to an a unused stall for shelter. I have never been pecked as a matter of fact some of them hop up on my arm to say hello.:<)

5:09 am

LoriP

We never kept pigs, we traded beef for pork with the neighbors. At least cows and pigs aren't evil.

5:11 am

elder

They are good for eating bugs and other nasties, but however kind I was to them they never jumped on my arms , thank god.

5:13 am

elder

I and cousins used to name the animals, a bad mistake when they went to live somewhere else. ( slaughter ).

5:14 am

chickieo8

ohhhhhhh,you don't know what your missing!! The hard part is doing them as they get loder to have room for the new chicks...:>( Some of mine have names........:>)

5:14 am

chickieo8

missed a word there!

5:14 am

LoriP

Slaughter time had the potential for maximum scratches. Guess whose job catching them was?

5:15 am

elder

Chick, a bit easier, when you know you have provided an excellent standard of living and care for them.

5:15 am

chickieo8

I catch mind with a large fishing net works great

5:15 am

elder

LoriP lol, so unlucky.

5:16 am

elder

They probably made LoriP, catch with hands as she had been naughty that day.

5:17 am

chickieo8

I bet your right.......:)

5:18 am

LoriP

: p

5:18 am

elder

*giggles*

5:20 am

chickieo8

if one gets out my yorkie silkey(A bby) will catch it and hold it to the ground by the neck and not hurt it until I can get there to put it back in the pen.

5:21 am

elder

how brave:)

5:22 am

chickieo8

well back to the grid...................:>)

5:22 am

elder

5:22 am

LoriP

7:01 am

So, not to bring up politics but I am still waiting for Sarah Palin to return her wardrobe to charity as suggested.

7:01 am

lil*monkey

kona isn't a word?

7:01 am

Uneaixoise

i love that the RNC is sending an official to Alaska to assess it all!

redturtlehead

no monkey, but it is important. kona.

7:02 am

lil*monkey

i don't care about the wardrobe, but i am Sick and Tired of seeing her carry that poor baby around like a floppy stuffed animal

7:02 am

redturtlehead

Une...I want to follow that story. I heard yesterday that Palin was unaware that Africa was a continent not a country...

7:02 am

lil*monkey

red, I think she just misspoke

7:03 am

Uneaixoise

Jon Stewart reported that she'd been tagged and released in Alaska . . . LOL

7:03 am

redturtlehead

I hope so, monkey, but so many Americans think this way that I would not be surprised that it happened.

7:03 am

Uneaixoise

actually I think she said South Africa was a part of Africa rather than a country

7:04 am

lil*monkey

polls have shown that many Americans think New Mexico is part of Mexico (no lie)

7:04 am

redturtlehead

No kidding!

7:05 am

redturtlehead

When I took the job in New Mexico, my trainer at the gym told me I wouldnt be able to find a gym down there!!

7:05 am

lil*monkey

some people think you need your Passport to go to New Mexico

7:05 am

Uneaixoise

oh, red!!

7:05 am

Uneaixoise

7:05 am

redturtlehead

Well, you cant drink a lot of NW water, but it is still part of our country.

7:06 am

lil*monkey

pooted isn't a word!!!!!!

7:06 am

ANd South Africa is indeed part of Africa, so.

7:06 am

7:17 am

movieman

is that a clue, monkey?

7:17 am

Uneaixoise

diem, I have a friend who did that for an elderly gentleman--also took him to visit friends and family

7:18 am

NonoNanette

if something is not tall it is sh5. extend that for a 7 and an 8

7:18 am

movieman

Then no, I don't, I just don't like being ignored when asking for clues

7:19 am

lil*monkey

TY nono

7:19 am

redturtlehead

If I can not go to my parents for thanksgiving, I might volunteer to deliver the meals on wheels.

7:19 am

lil*monkey

throwing a tanty isn't the way to handle it

7:19 am

redturtlehead

the issue I have is that usually to volunteer you need to be vetted and that takes a long time and then my contract is done...

7:19 am

NonoNanette

when no one answers when i ask for a clue i just assume no one has it yet

7:19 am

redturtlehead

:)

7:19 am

lil*monkey

thank you, nono, that's a nice suggestion

7:20 am

EspritdJean

red you could give lap dances

7:20 am

movieman

I wasn't throwing a 'tanty', I just thought typing in caps might get my request answered

7:20 am

lil*monkey

LOL

7:20 am

redturtlehead

theres another idea jean

7:20 am

lil*monkey

7:29 am

periwinkle

I am looking forward to it. There is a place not too far from me that charges very little so that people will come to experience it. The person I have an appt with is a friend of my niece

7:30 am

EspritdJean

it certainly can't hurt you

7:30 am

EspritdJean

peri have you ever tried using a lavender eye pillow when you go to bed?

7:31 am

periwinkle

I have tried lavender room sprays, lavender creams, etc. and they do not work for me, altho I love the smell

7:31 am

periwinkle

and I don't really like sleeping on my back

7:31 am

FMitch

oh Esprit that sounds lovely

7:31 am

EspritdJean

I find the eye pillow to be very effective

7:31 am

EspritdJean

it is mitch

7:31 am

periwinkle

I may try that tho

7:32 am

lil*monkey

i like to use Tylenol PM if i want to sleep

7:32 am

EspritdJean

or bourbon

7:32 am

redturtlehead

benadryl is the sleep ingredient in tylenol pm.

7:32 am

redturtlehead

I must go and eat cereal.

7:32 am

FMitch

How long has it been a problem peri?

7:32 am

periwinkle

Tylenol pm or benadryl does not work for me

7:33 am

lil*monkey

combining Tylenol PM and alcohol is quite effective too (but supposedly dangerous)

7:33 am

lil*monkey

diphenhydramine is the active ingredient in Tylenol PM

7:34 am

SharonRA

hmm....okay thanks.

7:34 am

EspritdJean

I was only goofin', I don't drink and drug

7:34 am

SharonRA

Peri, I have some of the same problem. I'm up at 2, up at 4, or used to be more than I am now.

how can you have hedonism without hedons?? Stupid grid

7:35 am

periwinkle

my whole life, FM :( . When I was a pre-teen I had trouble falling asleep. As an "adult" I have trouble staying asleep and always wake up feeling tired.

7:35 am

EspritdJean

7:35 am

lil*monkey

peri, you have tried Ambien ?

7:36 am

periwinkle

yes, I have Ambien CR and it works sometimes

7:36 am

FMitch

Urf that sounds hellish peri.
Good idea Esprit

7:36 am

SharonRA

I had a sleep study some time ago

7:36 am

periwinkle

tried getting into a sleep study last year which was about melatonin and its effects on sleep but was told my melatonin levels were normal. Don't think my current insurance will pay for a sleep study

7:37 am

EspritdJean

it should if a doctor orders it

7:37 am

BzznBea

I did too, Sharon. I have a mild form of apnea.

7:37 am

SharonRA

I had one, and was on a CPAP machine for awhile...it really helped

7:37 am

FMitch

I turn into the evil hound from hell when my sleep gets too disrupted.

7:37 am

EspritdJean

I also have moderate apnea

7:37 am

EspritdJean

so annoying

7:37 am

I will wait and see what happens tomorrow and what is recommended. Then I will look into a sleep study.

Nut, is it "poos", which is not accepted anyway?

8:14 am

72 Temple Owl

bye natts

8:15 am

MonkeyGames

I think it's the past tense of another way to say that...

8:15 am

MonkeyGames

And hi!

8:15 am

72 Temple Owl

i am trying to do this grid backwards in case the site acts up...there are so many t words

8:15 am

Scrabbler

Aw, why, Feather? Because you need to be cloned to multitask as wife, mother and teacher?

8:15 am

Scrabbler

Hi MG--TY for the clue

8:15 am

featherbee

no, because i need to be cloned as a babysitter, playmate and maid. it's the maid part that's getting to me.

8:16 am

72 Temple Owl

close, scrabs

8:16 am

redturtlehead

yugh feather.

8:16 am

evanonut

lucky think i do a little cloning on the side for a very reasonalbe fee.

8:16 am

Scrabbler

Does Doug help much? Or could you afford a housecleaner periodically?

8:16 am

FMitch

Good plan TO - I've been working backwards and todays grid is really working with that approach

8:16 am

Scrabbler

Is your work guaranteed, nut?

8:17 am

featherbee

i don't want the tv to be on all morning. so we're playing with it off now, which is fine. HOWEVER, i would like to do laundry, clean the kitchen, pick up the house, vacuum. i can't do any of that because whenever i leave the room for 5 seconds, daniel is either being a pain or fighting over a toy with nick. if i'm in the room with them, it's fine. therefore, my house is a pigsty, but there's peace.

8:17 am

featherbee

doug's gone all weekend right now for national guard.

8:17 am

Scrabbler

Hi FM

8:17 am

evanonut

guarantees will cost extra

8:17 am

72 Temple Owl

hi fm! it was until i got stopped at 31 t words. i really don't enjoy that approach as much

8:17 am

redturtlehead

and the kids are really too young to "help" with the housework...

8:18 am

Scrabbler

Feather--great web site: empoweringparents.com. Also, read John Rosemond's books--outstanding.

8:18 am

72 Temple Owl

he he i wonder why nut

8:18 am

kje

i say lock him in a toy chest!

8:18 am

Scrabbler

Nut, you are a shrewd business woman

8:18 am

FMitch

Hi Scrabs, kje and Nutty :)

8:18 am

featherbee

oh, looks like a great site, thanks!

8:18 am

kje

hi fm

8:19 am

Scrabbler

We used to do that when we were little, kje. I am the oldest of 4 and putting someone in the toychest was a fun game.

8:19 am

evanonut

scrabs called me a shrew!

8:19 am

FMitch

I'm down to 33 mostly vowels urgh :(

8:19 am

kje

LOL... fun for YOU scrab

8:19 am

featherbee

daniel's crawled into the toychest sometimes as a toddler

8:20 am

featherbee

*looking for the article about how to clean your house while the kids play in that site*

8:21 am

MonkeyGames

Walter has a big basket he keeps for that. He puts a pillow in the bottom, gets in, puts his blanket on him, closes the lid, and watches TV through the handle-hole.

8:21 am

Scrabbler

kje, are in in Jerusalem? Condi Rice is there too. Are you her personal MD?

8:21 am

FMitch

I can't find the i's - no clues please - but just tell me if they are in + another word in the grid?

8:21 am

Scrabbler

Feather, you know my approach: bungee cords & duct tape.

8:21 am

Scrabbler

How cute, MG!

8:21 am

featherbee

oh that's cute monkeygames!

8:21 am

Jacula

Yes, FM, they are.

8:22 am

featherbee

oh right, i forgot that tip scrabs!!! can i hang them from the ceiling so they get to bounce up and down a little?

8:22 am

kje

condi and i go waaaaay back...

8:22 am

Scrabbler

Hi Jacula

8:22 am

Scrabbler

Yep, it's more fun for them that way, feather.

8:22 am

72 Temple Owl

hi jacs! fm are you up to i already?!

8:22 am

MonkeyGames

It's adorable. And if he's doing it when you walk into a room you have to pretend not to hear the giggling, and wander around saying, "Where'd Walter go?" and the like until he jups up and yells, "tada!"

8:22 am

Jacula

Hi Scrabbs. I've been here a while but I'm deep in the grid. How are the bunnies?

8:23 am

featherbee

and see, my other part of the problem is when i DO get a few minutes, i don't take advantage of them. right now daniel went into his room to play. i should be getting up and gathering laundry, but ack, here i sit, because my brain is too fried.

8:23 am

FMitch

Thanks Jacs, I can see them being my 'fish' words.

8:23 am

kje

as i suspected...babble is the REAL suspect here

8:23 am

Scrabbler

Kids love hiding out and making forts--they believe they are invisible, then they say, "I'm over here!"

8:24 am

FMitch

It is one of the nicest grids we have had a in a long time, but slow and steady is the approach.

8:24 am

Scrabbler

The bunnies are all sweet, Jacula! And they will get clean rooms today when I take a break from Babble.

8:24 am

MonkeyGames

Yup. He also has cardboard playhouse and he is absolutely convinced we can never guess that's where he is.

8:24 am

72 Temple Owl

can anyone please tell me how many 7 & 8 letter words begin with t?

8:24 am

Jacula

Sorry, not me TO - I'm listless.

8:25 am

72 Temple Owl

as am i. just began

8:25 am

evanonut

i hate waiting for the pancakes to cook

8:25 am

Scrabbler

Mary's son, John, loves making forts with blankets over furniture, and secret entries. We do that almost every week when I visit.

8:25 am

featherbee

don't burn them nutty!

8:25 am

FMitch

3 x 7 no 8's

8:25 am

MonkeyGames

We even have to LOOK at him. "I'm in here, mama!" "Yes, that's great!" "In my playhouse!" "Yes, that's where I thought you were." "Come look through the window mama... see, here I am! I'm in my playhouse!"

8:25 am

Scrabbler

Be patient, nut--they are worth the wait.

8:25 am

72 Temple Owl

the problem with trying to avoid not all wrods showing in large grids is that it makes one go to list when on e doesn't really want to

8:26 am

Jacula

Scrabbs - I did my g/pigs yesterday. I'm a bit worried about the one - she looks like she's about to explode. It's either a phantom pregnancy or she's got a growth. I'd think she was just very fat but her nipples look weird.

8:26 am

Scrabbler

No chance she was fertilized, Jac?

8:27 am

Jacula

No chance, Scrabbs.

8:27 am

kje

fertilized - lol

8:27 am

Scrabbler

Keep an eye on her, Jac. What is her name?

8:28 am

Scrabbler

I say that to my young friends when they announce a pregnancy..."OH, so you got yourself fertilized, huh? How the heck did THAT happen?"

8:28 am

Jacula

Scrabbs - her name's Margaret (after my ex-ma-in-law) 'cos she has long blonde hair. LOL

8:28 am

kje

LOL scrab... they look at you crazy?

8:28 am

Scrabbler

phantom = shampoo

I told a nurse I was sterile once. She was taken aback.

8:29 am

Scrabbler

kje, my friends KNOW that I am crazy--I am always goofy, silly and outrageous.

8:30 am

featherbee

i have a comment about fertilized, but i'm being very very good and not saying it

8:30 am

Jacula

I will tell my guinea pig, Scrabbs.:-)

8:30 am

Scrabbler

Haha, Bea. I told my friends that I had to get spayed to prevent unwanted pregnancies, because I am actually Sister Mary Pediatrica in my personal life.

8:30 am

MonkeyGames

When I was 17, almost 23 years ago, my grandmother was cleaning y room and opned a drawer. In it she found a small baggie of something... umm, herbal. Being the sweet woman she was she knew it was none of her business but couldn't bring herself to leave it there either... so she replaced it with a brand new box of colored pencils.

8:43 am

MonkeyGames

She was a REALLY sweet lady.

8:43 am

BzznBea

LOL! MG!

8:43 am

Scrabbler

Great story, MG

8:44 am

I was deeply touched, even at that age.

8:45 am

THAT is what made her a really sweet lady, scrab

8:45 am

MonkeyGames

No, not her. Neither of us ever mentioned it, either, which I think was a great relief to us both...

8:46 am

MonkeyGames

Hee hee, kje. Like that Australian lady arrested and then released at the age of 92... she found some in her son't garden and honestly thought it was a salad green from which one could also make a nice, relaxing tea.

8:46 am

Scrabbler

Haha, MG.

8:46 am

kje

SURE she did, MG - LOL

8:47 am

MonkeyGames

She was convincing enough for teh Australian autghorities, anyway...

8:47 am

counded - stalked (ie a cat hounded you)

10:06 am

Book Doctor Gwen

10:06 am

pabtrek

contraction of confounded, perhaps :)

10:08 am

kje

ah, that sn5 was in an earlier grid this week

10:08 am

Book Doctor Gwen

recently came up with this one (i specialize in coins for bad drivers): elbow driver. one who drives with one hand at the top of the wheel and the other hand doing something useless. So called because they often end up trying to steer with their elbow, and because they often have their other elbow hanging out the window.

10:08 am

cybernan

*also counded

10:08 am

hurshy

ra + hail fellow well ***

jean1953

good afternoon everyone:)

10:53 am

stidmama

LOL thanks jbp. how are you?

10:53 am

stidmama

hello jean and kje and harp!!!

10:54 am

jbp

hanging in.

10:54 am

jbp

have had some heath stuff going on, but am hopefully on the upswing.

10:54 am

jbp

also got 2 dogs this summer, who are proving to be a bit of a handful

10:54 am

flosey

back again - there's a huge gray owl in a tree outside the office - tried to get a pic of him but it's raining

10:54 am

kje

as7 - not proud of

10:54 am

jbp

apparently, beagles are stubborn --who knew? not me!

10:54 am

harpjane

what kind of dogs?

10:54 am

jbp

and you Stid?

10:55 am

jbp

beagle mix and corgi mix

10:55 am

kje

cool flos... what is he doing out at this time of day?

10:55 am

jbp

they get along really really well

10:55 am

harpjane

thanks

10:55 am

stidmama

I am sorry to hear about the health issues. Those stink. eek! TWO dogs? we lost one of ours this summer, surprisingly it almost seems more work with just the one, who now needs more companionship.

10:55 am

stidmama

hey flosey!

10:55 am

jean1953

I have a beagle jbp and u are so right very stubborn

10:55 am

rururocks

beagles are extremely stubborn..

10:55 am

jbp

but unless you have a treat for them, they're not very motivated...

10:55 am

harpjane

sounds like nice temperaments, and probably not too much shedding?

10:55 am

stidmama

I am in school full-time and am frequently babbling during lectures so as to maintain sanity when I am completely clueless...

10:55 am

flosey

just sitting up there, he was watching me trying to get his pic, has been there for about an hour

10:55 am

jbp

shedding is the cats' domain ;-)

10:56 am

stidmama

and ruru knows ALL about stubborn!!! *wicked grin*

10:56 am

harpjane

since i share my life with two long haired cats i am quite aware of that!

10:56 am

jbp

hee

10:56 am

stidmama

it's raining here too flosey, though when I woke up at 6 there was a bit of sun coming under the clouds

10:56 am

jbp

all this time, I had been feeling all superior to dog owners who had trouble training their dogs, because we always had retrievers of some kind or another.

10:56 am

rururocks

** look to total shock at Stid's comments !***

10:57 am

jbp

so this is my comeuppance,

10:57 am

rururocks

look of ... that is

10:57 am

stidmama

rofl....

10:57 am

kje

b/c of the comment.... or b/c it came from stid?

10:57 am

flosey

hmmm, not here stid, very wet and I was up - babbled a while but when my bridge p came online we played for a while

10:57 am

rururocks

both.. I expect them from you and now you are training stid too...damn

10:58 am

kje

no, stid deduced that observation all on her own... it is her new science outlook.... very observant

10:58 am

stidmama

there there, ruru, I am just ornery because I woke up at 6... was hoping to sleep in.

10:58 am

jbp

we've had a mild fall here, so I can't complain about the rain

11:00 am

rururocks

I will continue to work and the grid and refuse to have you de6/24 my efforts...

11:00 am

rururocks

on the grid... er.. I need to wake up too.

11:00 am

kje

11:04 am

rururocks

*** I know you sucked your thumb... I know a thumb sucker when I see one ***

11:05 am

harpjane

11:05 am

kje

Hi folks! Had a major scary but good-outcome incident before dinner, Walter fubbled a heavy stoneware plate while helping set the table, but the swelling in his foot went down very quickly and the bruising isn't bad and he's himself again, so here I am instead of in the emergency room. How is everyone this evening?

12:39 pm

carleekat

i'm inhaling home made sushi.....made a pot of cheddar/ brocoli soup too..about to embark on a pot of apple butter

Thanks Judi. He is. And setting teh table was all his idea, too. I'm very glad it all came out all right. These are some Thai stoneware plates I found at a second hand shopa nd they're heavy as lead, but he loves putting them on the table. I know what these feel like on a foot at speed. Dinner was, needless to say, delayed, and he did opt for the tylenol before bed But it looks like it'll be just fine.

12:42 pm

That's good, monkey. I'm sure he'll be showing off his purple foot to anyone and everyone.

Only horrific at the check-out, I assume, Red. It is scarey. I'm definitely doing more bargain hunting than I used to.

Luckily, I think it won't even be purple enough for that by tomorrow. This boy is really resilient. Which probably explains why he survived his first week; everyone said they couln't give me a prognosis but as soon as he was getting better they started calling him a miracle baby. He bounces back incredibly well from these little mishaps. I did too.

12:46 pm

redturtlehead

12:46 pm

Judi

Don't say it... people were Christmas shopping. I plan to avoid it all together this year. Hubby will get a little something for his mum, I will get something for my step-mum and he and I will have a nice peaceful dinner together at a fine establishment. Enough!

12:56 pm

MonkeyGames

It was. It fell edge first, and he cried like he rarely does, Then it started swelling like crazy... which went right down again with very little bruising and after 20 minutes he was chipper and walking normally, ate a big dinner, requested a Tylenol, and went to bed with no fuss or bother.

12:56 pm

kje

if ruru comes back, tell him i finished... tried to wait for him, but ...

12:57 pm

wildcat17

lol

12:57 pm

MonkeyGames

The things that went through my mind before the swelling went down weren't pretty though.

12:58 pm

Aloyisius

Walter is definitely a "trooper" !

12:58 pm

harpjane

parents have to have pretty strong nerves!

12:58 pm

MonkeyGames

I had a VERY serious foot injury about ten years ago while we were illegal and thus uninsured, so it's a red flag issue for me.

12:58 pm

redturtlehead

jane you are in grid today!

12:59 pm

redturtlehead

finally 104 left.

12:59 pm

MonkeyGames

Yes, Walter is a tough little guy. He was even pretty sanguine after 24 hours when he brioke his leg two years ago. An hour after getting the walking cast it was like nothing had ever been wrong.

1:01 pm

MonkeyGames

My parents sure had to, Harp. I was always getting hit in th head. (Yes, explains a lot, I know...) Pushed headfirst into a marble bathtub when I was 4, fell down some stairs and still have a 5 inch scar under my hair when I was 4, etc. 7 concussions by 8 years old. Then not so many after that...

1:01 pm

harpjane

i always remind my parents that I am NOT the kid who had to go to the emergency room.....

1:01 pm

Judi

Geesh, Monkey. How did all of that happen?

1:01 pm

MonkeyGames

Some solid near misses too, like when that horse kicked a wall to splinters about a foot left of my chest when I was 12...

1:02 pm

Aloyisius

wonder they didn't lock you in a padded room, lol.. Monkey, you sure took some lumps and bumps

1:02 pm

harpjane

but then, in the 60's, when you broke an arm you called your regular doctor and made an appointment....

1:02 pm

MonkeyGames

Well, let's see. Concussion #1, another kid at preschool shoved me into the marble bathtub in the playground.

1:02 pm

Judi

Or, the doctor actually made a house call! Now those were the good old days.

1:03 pm

MonkeyGames

#2, playing unattended at the top of some stairs with a sharp rock garden at the bottom. #3, thrown from a horse into a tree.

1:03 pm

MonkeyGames

#4, some kids beat me up and when I ran away I tripped...

1:03 pm

MonkeyGames

#5, golf ball in the eye at close range.

1:04 pm

MonkeyGames

#6, horse bolted under a low tree branch... and #7, running kids knocked me sideways into the corner of a stone building.

1:04 pm

MonkeyGames

Then I seemed to start spending a lot of time indoors reading...

1:05 pm

Judi

Godalmighty! LOL! Way more than your fair share of skull splitting. Suspect your parents made you wear a football helmet everywhere you went after all of that.

1:06 pm

cjmomma

probably a good idea

1:06 pm

cjmomma

pame

1:06 pm

MonkeyGames

Actually mom, a singhle mom at that time, had rather a habit of shaking me and yelling that I must have done something stupid. But those are the old days and I can laugh at them now...

1:06 pm

MonkeyGames

She's on the right medication now...

1:07 pm

Judi

LOLOLOLOLO. (sad, but very funny).

1:07 pm

Judi

Have some vacuuming to do. BBL.

1:08 pm

cjmomma

I have to get things ready so we're not late..bbs

1:08 pm

MonkeyGames

See? That's how I feel. It was very liberating when I was 17 and realized she was actually ill and I shouldn't take anything personally. Then we had a civil relationship until I got pregnant at 36, at which point I went out of my way to forge a better one. We have a good relationship now but do NOT talk about anything from, say, my childhood

1:08 pm

Aloyisius

well, I whittled it down a bit.. bbs

1:09 pm

MonkeyGames

For the record she'a actually a really great lady. Those were not her bast times.

1:10 pm

MonkeyGames

She's being a fantastic grandmother. Wish she lived closer. Not necessarily like in this city, but on this continent would be nice.

1:13 pm

MonkeyGames

And my last word on all this, now you know why after 15 I lived with my grandparents and why I consider them my REAL parents, as it were. Dad has always been there for me but is on the road a lot and has always been inmore the "favorite uncle" role.

1:14 pm

redturtlehead

with 208 done I am stuck!

1:14 pm

smazing

Curios to know why you are dsicussing concussions? I had an opthomologist once ask me if i've had any and oh, yes. Quite a few infact.

1:14 pm

smazing

He could tell because I had a lot of pigmentation floating in my eyes.

1:14 pm

redturtlehead

dog is starting to want to go out...soo a break...

1:15 pm

MonkeyGames

Just that my son dropped a plate on his foot tonight (he's OK) which brought up childhood injuries, among my many were 7 concussions. And on that note, husband has come down with the new Cohen Brothers film and off I go.

1:15 pm

smazing

Enjoy the movie.

San, its really worth the small fee. you get the tile stats which disappear after 2 weeks, and fireworks and you get to play with your icon, which is often more fun than the grid.

3:59 pm

rururocks

3:59 pm

redturtlehead

3:59 pm

lil*monkey

listen to your body, red! and obey it if it says "I can't do this"

3:59 pm

redturtlehead

part of me also wants to sleep in and laze about.

3:59 pm

redturtlehead

4:12 pm

lil*monkey

kajee, i'm going to Google it

4:12 pm

redturtlehead

4:12 pm

kje

a handbasket is not a purse... is it?

4:12 pm

kje

ty monkeypoo

4:12 pm

LeslieAnn

i imagined a handbasket kind of like a picnic basket

Ping

lol kje

4:13 pm

lil*monkey

Wikipedia sez origin unknown, first used in print in 1865, possibly a reference to the guillotine, since the severed head fell into a basket

4:14 pm

lil*monkey

4:14 pm

redturtlehead

kje. I am seeing tons of bladder control pills advertised. is it really that necessary that poeople take these pills?

4:14 pm

Ping

is handsome the opposite of redneck?

4:15 pm

SamanthaJoy

and tell your BF that he's reacting the way the folks inthe left did to the '04 election, and they were wrong too--it's hysteria, not logic

4:15 pm

kje

absolutely not.... it is the drug company making money... they can have bad side effects

4:15 pm

lil*monkey

I know you just asked kje that question red, but I'm going to put in my answer: NO NO NO NO NO

4:15 pm

kje

lil*monkey

i mean, ails you

4:17 pm

lil*monkey

4:17 pm

kje

it is easier, monkey... easier to take a pill than change your behavior

4:17 pm

rururocks

men who practice kegels are gay

4:17 pm

redturtlehead

it seems so crazy. they advertise it like one in 2 people have this issue.

4:43 pm

SamanthaJoy

rururocks and lil*monkey

4:43 pm

Minveryork

I missed it too! I have been here off and on all day. I just got here from a short break. Too bad I missed it

4:44 pm

redturtlehead

yes, but in my defense I did not attack anyone. I do think people have to realize there is going to be some political conversation for some time.

4:44 pm

SamanthaJoy

Yes, well, it was a brief flareup of excitement.

4:44 pm

chickieo8

conversations like that are best to stay out of some one always gets p!@#@%$

4:44 pm

SamanthaJoy

I still hold a grudge

4:44 pm

SamanthaJoy

Red, you were perfectly civil.

4:44 pm

Minveryork

Politics can be controversial, but it should never get in the way of FUN! All I can say is we need a CHANGE!

4:44 pm

redturtlehead

And if they want to make a big deal out of it and announce their departure each time someone has a conversation or makes a comment....then it is thier own sensitivities.

4:44 pm

stidmama

hello all!!!! *waves* I have done SO MUCH on my project today that I have earned some more babble time! *yay me*

4:45 pm

4:45 pm

stidmama

*reads back in log*
Samantha, have you been causing trouble again?

4:45 pm

redturtlehead

Samantha I even made a special effort to follow the babble themes rather than what would be my icon of choice lately.

4:45 pm

redturtlehead

4:45 pm

Minveryork

Hi stidmama! How are you doing?Welcome to the grid

4:46 pm

SamanthaJoy

Do tell, red? I'm dying to hear at least a description of your IOC (icon of choice)

4:46 pm

redturtlehead

it would look similaar to Stiddys!!!!

4:46 pm

SamanthaJoy

I don't assume that people who voted for a different Presidential choice that I had did so out of malice or anger or anything; there were plenty of valid reasons to vote darn near any way

4:47 pm

redturtlehead

Oh I am not at all upset about anyones vote, but I can not help it. I am really thrilled with the outcome.

4:47 pm

stidmama

okie dokie, here I am, (refresh if you want my regular icon)

4:47 pm

chickieo8

4:47 pm

Pinikula

Hello? In order to finish, I need clues!!! Don't forget to throw those in every once in awhile!!! * smile *

4:48 pm

SamanthaJoy

Yay red! Yay stiddy! And yet, honestly, I think that McCain would not have been as scary as he was painted . . . his VP pick, though, is another matter

4:48 pm

stidmama

PINI!!!!! *tosses coffee in air* yes, waiting for MANY clues, please!

4:48 pm

redturtlehead

it was his VP pick that made me start to feel that the election was so crucial.

4:48 pm

stidmama

4:48 pm

redturtlehead

redturtlehead

4:52 pm

stidmama

need the AN 5/10 fish please... *smiles nicely*

4:52 pm

SamanthaJoy

Stid, I carefully considered that before I put it out there. And then I figured that it didn't matter, if I didn't say it, Elizabeth Dole would just plaster the sound of someone else saying it over my picture anyway.

4:53 pm

Pinikula

a + close

4:53 pm

stidmama

red, nurse advice please???

redturtlehead

4:54 pm

stidmama

the kid's throat hurts from the post-nasal drip of this virus. He is coughing... anything more than salt-water, honey-and-brandy and tylenol I can do?

4:54 pm

stidmama

It is NOT strep, had a throat culture

4:54 pm

redturtlehead

kid still complaining?

4:54 pm

SamanthaJoy

antihistamines will dry him up and put him to sleep, regardless of the source of the drip.

4:54 pm

redturtlehead

you could try ice chips.

4:54 pm

stidmama

he is in agony...

4:55 pm

stidmama

4:55 pm

Pinikula

redturtlehead

4:55 pm

stidmama

maalox? to coat?

4:55 pm

redturtlehead

4:55 pm

redturtlehead

yes to coat.

4:55 pm

SamanthaJoy

oh, god, stid, it's awful to hear about people who are sick. I feel so bad for him.

4:56 pm

redturtlehead

the antihistamine is also a good idea...

4:56 pm

stidmama

okay, will have to see if we have any. usually no call for stuff like that.

4:56 pm

redturtlehead

benadryl?

4:56 pm

stidmama

Yes, he has been doped up on diphenhydramine all day (benadryl)

4:56 pm

SamanthaJoy

well, sleeping through an illness is often the best way to handle it

4:56 pm

redturtlehead

he could even drink the kids benadryl....as it will work a wee bit topically.

4:57 pm

stidmama

4:57 pm

redturtlehead

4:57 pm

redturtlehead

4:57 pm

stidmama

5:19 pm

stidmama

stidmama

no , the one before, thanks judi

5:19 pm

elder

Stid, plural of the above

I also have a political question....Where does the Vice pres in the US live anyway?

5:20 pm

SamanthaJoy

"Plural promises" sorta defines my first two oa5s, and they're both plurals

5:20 pm

Judi

Oops. Oh. The only other one I have is the desert watering hole.

5:20 pm

torgone

Made of oa*s ..

5:20 pm

Zionism is the support for a Jewish state in Palestine and later the support of modern day Israel

Oh, I screwed that up. Thanks for the correction, kje. That would seem a bit more secure now, wouldn't it?

5:25 pm

kje

Contrary to popular belief, the Vice President needn't crash on a White House couch every night. He's got a home of his own, and it's a nice one.
The house, a white, brick-walled, Victorian-style home with 9,150 square feet of floor space, is located on the corner of 34th Street and Massachusetts Avenue in Washington, D.C. It's on the grounds of the United States Naval Observatory and was originally built for the superintendent of the observatory in 1839.

The house became the official residence of the Chief of the Naval Observatory in 1928 (for this reason, it's still referred to as the "Admiral's House"). In 1974, Congress designated the house the official temporary residence for vice presidents. Before the decree, the vice president lived in temporary houses and hotels.

In 1977, Vice President Walter Mondale, under President Jimmy Carter, was the first to occupy the house.

5:27 pm

5:40 pm

lynxxx

5:40 pm

lexleeanne

thanks

5:40 pm

tygerbryght

does anybody else here in NAmer listen to NPR's All Things Considered?

5:40 pm

lexleeanne

I often admo6/18

5:40 pm

stidmama

hm. *thinking more.... * got three of them, working on the others

5:40 pm

tygerbryght

and mo8 is PT of it

5:40 pm

stidmama

I LOVE that show, tyger!

5:41 pm

stidmama

don't get to listen much these days though

5:41 pm

tygerbryght

they're having a discussion of what kind of dog the Obamas should get

5:41 pm

tygerbryght

a woman wrote in to suggest a greyhound, tho most are wanting them to get a shelter dog - but older daughter has allergies

5:41 pm

emmy9776

i like all things considered

5:41 pm

lexleeanne

I got em both

5:42 pm

stidmama

now do the last two PR 7/8 build off the previous four words?

5:42 pm

lexleeanne

how about th na it has me stumped

5:42 pm

robwhy

listen to NPR all the time

5:42 pm

lexleeanne

is is fisy

5:42 pm

tygerbryght

I wrote in to say that MANY "retired" racing greyhounds are euthanized every year, so it would be good

5:42 pm

stidmama

there are "breed" dogs that need rescuing too.... *looking at own rescued purebred*

5:42 pm

stidmama

na 4 is a babblet... narthex in a greek temple

5:42 pm

lexleeanne

is it fishy?

5:42 pm

lynxxx

na4 n & ch*** is an uproar or bedlam

5:42 pm

tygerbryght

and greyhounds have such short coats that, with regular bathing, they shouldn't be a big problem for the allergies

5:43 pm

tygerbryght

you're so right, stid

5:43 pm

evanonut

lexy sexyyyyy!

5:43 pm

tygerbryght

and if the Obamas went for a greyhound rescue, there would be a lot more homes for them, too

5:43 pm

stidmama

hmph. ignored by nut. again.

5:43 pm

lexleeanne

NUTTY

5:43 pm

redturtlehead

I Looove all things considered.

5:43 pm

redturtlehead

A G hound rescue would be a good idea.

5:44 pm

lexleeanne

he promised them a puppy!

5:44 pm

evanonut

hi stid, i can't help it, i just loooooooove to type lexy sexy!

5:44 pm

stidmama

If they go for ANY dog that truly needs a home, rather than direct from a breeder, it would raise a lot of awareness.

5:44 pm

Judi

I listen to all things considered.

5:44 pm

redturtlehead

Or someo ther rescue.

5:44 pm

lynxxx

I love my Stew but I probably wouldn't recommend him for kids

5:44 pm

tygerbryght

I'm hoping that they'll read my letter, as that would help promote rescue, even if the Obamas don't

5:44 pm

Judi

*please assume appropriate capitals*

5:44 pm

stidmama

still need help on the last PR 7/8 combo please

5:44 pm

redturtlehead

I think they will do that. I am sure they have had a variety of offers from shelters of poodles and schnauzers.

5:44 pm

stidmama

greyhounds need a LOT of running room though... and time with their people.

5:44 pm

tygerbryght

greyhounds tend to be couch potatoes - for that matter, so do nearly all of the gazehound breeds

5:44 pm

lexleeanne

yes she does...over and over and over

5:44 pm

redturtlehead

and Bichons.

5:45 pm

lynxxx

Stid swap 2 letters around in the po7/8

5:45 pm

lexleeanne

making me actually BELIEVE it

5:45 pm

Judi

I have pr7/36 & plural 8/50: Sounds like to make believe.

5:45 pm

lexleeanne

more help with na

5:45 pm

tygerbryght

stiddie, time with the peeps shouldn't be a problem, and the dog could go to Camp David periodically to run

5:45 pm

redturtlehead

the only issue with the sight hounds is that when they see something, and are "loose" they are gone after it!!!! LOL

5:45 pm

stidmama

yes judi! those were the ones I needed! down to 24!

5:45 pm

tygerbryght

I've owned Salukis, and they're very similar

5:45 pm

lexleeanne

I have a whippet

5:45 pm

stidmama

and thanks lynxxx too

5:45 pm

lexleeanne

I would LOVE a Saluki

5:46 pm

redturtlehead

oh tyger, I have always secretly wanted a Saluki. so elegant.

5:46 pm

tygerbryght

yes, turtle, but anybody who gets approved to adopt a rescue greyhound gets instruction and supervision

5:46 pm

redturtlehead

I have Teulu instead.

5:46 pm

Judi

Whip it! Whip it good! Devo dog. Coooool.

5:46 pm

lynxxx

5:46 pm

stidmama

I don't think people should whip dogs...

5:47 pm

tygerbryght

you don't get that kind of help adopting a dog from a shelter

5:47 pm

Judi

What other dogs are hypoalergenic, besides labradoodles? Aren't some of the toy breeds suitable, like pomeranians of some such?

5:47 pm

stidmama

first TA 6/7 please?

5:47 pm

lexleeanne

our dogs are Lily Rosie and Daisy (all for princesses) and aurora the psycho cat

5:47 pm

LeslieAnn

5:47 pm

redturtlehead

Like I said Judi: Bichons, Poodles, and Schnauzers

5:48 pm

evanonut

i loves my muttster

5:48 pm

tygerbryght

ta6 tapeworm

5:48 pm

redturtlehead

I think some terriers luck out.

5:48 pm

stidmama

mutts are often good for allergies... but sometimes you don't know until the dog is home.

5:48 pm

Judi

Ah, there you go. Schnauzers can be rather miserable in my exeprience.

5:48 pm

lexleeanne

thanks for the na

5:48 pm

tygerbryght

I don't think Obama will go for a mutt, because of the allergy issue

5:48 pm

mymuseisme

I've always wanted Havanese for son but too expensive

5:48 pm

Kazozz

hi all

5:48 pm

stidmama

I like schnauzers, and they're more portable than some...

5:49 pm

tygerbryght

Schnauzers are NOT what they want in that situation. lovely dogs, but ....

5:49 pm

stidmama

hey kazozz!

5:49 pm

tygerbryght

5:49 pm

stidmama

speaking of british people, what about corgis?

5:49 pm

LeslieAnn

the foster dog we picked up last night is a schnauzer mix (first pic in profile). He is a sweetie.

5:49 pm

lexleeanne

tried to rescue a Italian Greyhound once - he was fierce

5:49 pm

redturtlehead

Wiki says border terriers too, they are usually quite FUN dogs.

5:49 pm

tygerbryght

a corgi would try to herd the girls :D

5:49 pm

redturtlehead

and of course, there will eb at least one person jsut to care for that dog.

5:49 pm

lexleeanne

5:49 pm

tygerbryght

5:50 pm

Kazozz

5:50 pm

stidmama

what a sweet face he has, lex!

5:50 pm

Judi

He looks like a sweetie, Leslie. Mixed breeds usually have the nicest temperments.

5:50 pm

Judi

What is his name?

5:50 pm

stidmama

kazozz: in + planet; then plural

5:50 pm

tygerbryght

I've never seen a greyhound - or any gazehound - that wasn't a couch potato, unless they'd been abused

6:57 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Harp

6:57 pm

harpjane

6:57 pm

harpjane

hi infernal!

6:57 pm

redturtlehead

i went to list.

6:57 pm

Jacula

PB for you Herin. You have to call Ha4 Jane today.;-)

6:57 pm

redturtlehead

INferenal is already in PB!

6:58 pm

herinfernallady

What grid I am already in the box

6:58 pm

tygerbryght

okay, herin - just one problem. under Jim Crow, blacks rode in the BACK, not the front, babe

6:58 pm

tygerbryght

hey, ha4 :)

6:58 pm

Jacula

*Giggles at Herin's predicament.*

6:58 pm

harpjane

oh, whatever! lots of folks have used my name today....

6:58 pm

herinfernallady

Really? I thought it was the front. Interesting

6:59 pm

tygerbryght

if the back was full, and the front wasn't, they were allowed to fill forward from the back, but had to give up seats if whites wanted them. that's what Rosa Parks refused to do

6:59 pm

redturtlehead

no definitely the back.

6:59 pm

harpjane

no, the back was supposedly less desireable so it was reserved for them

6:59 pm

herinfernallady

OH yes thats right they did. Now i remember. silly herin

7:00 pm

tygerbryght

*proud that Mrs. Parks moved to Michigan later on*

7:00 pm

herinfernallady

GOes and changes my error

7:00 pm

tygerbryght

more diesel fumes in the back

7:00 pm

redturtlehead

the back is less desirable. it makes me nauseous.

7:00 pm

tygerbryght

and sometimes sways, etc., too

7:01 pm

tygerbryght

I lived in Detroit for 20 years, and rode LOTS of buses.

7:01 pm

herinfernallady

Opps. Fixed it thank you

7:01 pm

that's all right, babe. happens to everybody sometimes

7:02 pm

tygerbryght

that's all right, babe. happens to everybody sometimes

7:03 pm

tygerbryght

I assume you've heard how Mormon temples are being picketed?

7:03 pm

Jacula

We all make mistakes, Herin. Don't feel bad.

7:03 pm

redturtlehead

its not exactly your history Herin. If I tried to write about aboriginals in Austrailia I would probably make similar mistakes.

7:03 pm

tygerbryght

well! I didn't intend to say it twice! LOL

7:03 pm

redturtlehead

I saw that Tyger!

7:04 pm

tygerbryght

I know a bit more than average about aboriginals, but that's because of 1. anthro major and 2. Cherokee. us "natives" tend to identify with each other

7:04 pm

herinfernallady

I remember the whole thing now. Red our history with Aboriginals is embarrassing.

7:04 pm

herinfernallady

Tyger why are the picketing the temples?

7:05 pm

tygerbryght

over the Prop 8 vote

7:05 pm

redturtlehead

Becasue herin the Mormon chruch pumped a lot of cash against prop 8

7:05 pm

tygerbryght

the Mormon church is reported to have funded a major campaign

7:05 pm

tygerbryght

and pressured members to donate to it, too

7:06 pm

harpjane

i just came in, what was prop 8?

7:06 pm

tygerbryght

one of the picketers is from a Mormon family, and that's what he said to an NPR reporter

7:06 pm

tygerbryght

prop 8 was a Calif proposal to outlaw gay marriage

7:06 pm

herinfernallady

oh. See what i think about church and law in note. Ban GLBT marriages in Cali.

7:06 pm

tygerbryght

gotta go. timer's calling me to oven BRB

7:43 pm

BzznBea

LOL!

7:43 pm

Jacula. I am listening to the radio - can't cope with TV AND babbling. Can't see the screen too well through wet eyes tho

8:45 pm

Jacula

Pat - I never watch TV and Babble. PC's in another room anyway.

8:47 pm

Patxxx

Jacula - I have a friend who listens to the radio AND watches TV. She talks about as much sense too - she babbles on. Maybe I should pay more attention and pick up on her mixed words cos lots of babbles words are strange and hers are too.

8:49 pm

redturtlehead

8:51 pm

Jacula

Hi ruru.

8:52 pm

kje

I am usually doing 2 things when i babble

8:52 pm

Jacula

Pat - you must be a fellow nightowel or a night worker - it's 2.52am.

8:52 pm

Jacula

Nightowl. LOL

8:52 pm

redturtlehead

ruru I was not involved in that mess. I was involved in the usual say something political and have someone announce they are leaving because they feel they dont fit in.

8:53 pm

Jacula

Is a nigh towel one that's about to appear?

8:53 pm

redturtlehead

if they would just leave, instead of announing themselves as somehow wounded it would be easier.

8:53 pm

rururocks

no kidding.. I really didn't expect that kind of response..

8:53 pm

redturtlehead

LOL Jacula!!!!!

8:53 pm

how are the golden dogs?

8:54 pm

Dorens

fit in? i never fit in anywhere, i'm used to that

8:54 pm

Jacula

I'm generall dashingg between doing several things, as do all women, whilst Babbling but I don't actually have TV or radio on in same room as Babble is on PC.

8:54 pm

rururocks

IT is okay.. they are doing really well. My boy is going to be 15 fairly soon...

8:54 pm

redturtlehead

WOw ruru. Teulu is only 2.

8:55 pm

redturtlehead

Dorens!!!

8:55 pm

Patxxx

Jac, In that case our Mums must be related, cos I think mine speaks martian sometimes. That's mean, I hope she doesn't babble or I'll be for it! Sorry Mum, love you PS - she lost a brother in WW2 and he was a twin - the other twin boy (they were only boys!) survived. My father went missing along with the remaining twin but turned up later. Imagine, nearly all the men in her family might have been gone in one go. AND her father was in WW1. Which is why they are so more stoic in troubled times cos it must all seem so trivial to them at times.

8:55 pm

redturtlehead

it was sort of irritating to me actually. but I am over it.

8:55 pm

Dorens

red? (and i think it has something to do with having red hair)

8:55 pm

Jacula

Dorens - if there's one place that almost everyone 'fits in' it's here in the Babble community.

8:55 pm

redturtlehead

I dont have red hair.

8:56 pm

rururocks

what was irritating?

8:56 pm

redturtlehead

I think in this case Jacula something else is going on and it is spilling over into Babble. but I think if one doesnt like what is being discussed, just dont jump into the discussion. Dont announce each time that you are leaving in a martyr like fashion.

8:56 pm

rururocks

Yeah but sometimes a joke or comment doesn't go well and someone takes it too strongly

8:57 pm

Jacula

Pat - my family story is a little similar re WW1. Your Mum's story sounds like Barbara Cartland's mother's. She lost so many of her menfolk.

8:57 pm

redturtlehead

that wasnt it ruru....though this did happen today too!

8:57 pm

Dorens

exactly my point. and I do! no one does.. it made me different + raised atheist + having a weird name like doren. so i am so used to not fitting in, it is odd to find anyone who is really like me. but yesl, jac you're right we all fit in, no matter what our politics etc.. the thinskinned really should think before getting offended

8:57 pm

ardilla

hi ruru & pat

8:57 pm

Patxxx

Jac - You made me laugh so much then I couldn't cry properly. Is that OK? It's not irreverent isit. It's normal...

8:57 pm

Jacula

ruru - I think it depends on who's in the chog at the time.

8:57 pm

redturtlehead

grrrr.

things often don't come across as intended when messaging instead of speaking... it is best to take things in the best way instead of the worst way possible... I don't believe most people here would intentionaly offend

9:01 pm

Eva

I'm coming in at the tail end of a conversation, but was thinking about the other day when someone made a political reference and was told in no uncertain terms that we don't speak about politics here. While in general I think most of us don't because we know we aren't all on the same page, and don't want top unecessarily stir things up, it is also a big part of our lives, and sometimes we are going to mention it, and I we should be able to live with that. There are bound to be times when people have conversations which display different values from one's own, or are just irritating, but that's one of the inevitable parts of having such a varied on line community.

9:01 pm

kje

TY, got it

i just don't get it. i am a big girl, i know that not eeryone agrees with me in politics, religion or anything else. and that's okay. why can't we say what we want without offending others, unless we don't allow them their opinions. i might not agree with them, but they are entitled to their beliefs. gee whiz.. where is the problem here?

If you're interested...Open --Lickety's List-- (found at the bottom of this page) in another window. Next, copy the words you've found (under Babble - 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.
