Sally-catlover

How was your Christmas herin?

5:15 am

Sally-catlover

m Cough. Changes box :-)

5:16 am

herinfernallady

borring and yourself?

5:16 am

Sally-catlover

We have a very quiet Christmas. We don't have this big expectation, so don't have the big downer either.

5:17 am

herinfernallady

ok

5:17 am

herinfernallady

ok

5:17 am

herinfernallady

woops.

5:17 am

Sally-catlover

I think there's an echo somewhere ...

5:18 am

herinfernallady

No that was me not paying attention. I am downloading stuff

5:19 am

Sally-catlover

You mean your whole mind isn't focussed on Babble?

5:19 am

herinfernallady

Tonight is not a whole mind night. I have had a very busy 2 days

5:20 am

Sally-catlover

A good 2 days - or just busy?

5:21 am

herinfernallady

Christmas busy with his family. Yesterday drinking and acting stupid with friends. We didn't get home till 6pm. I made ''bucket o punch''

5:24 am

Sally-catlover

Sounds tiring :-) And it's late at night now with you, isn't it. Only 11.23 am here.

5:24 am

herinfernallady

Its 1030pm. i have a few downloads left to finish

6:04 am

ExWren

Where has everybody gone?

6:08 am

Sally-catlover

I was thinking the same thing. Was it something I said? Or is everyone else just hung over.

6:10 am

ExWren

There are 104 on line, although possibly not sitting at their PC right now, maybe gone for a tea-break!

6:12 am

Sally-catlover

Well admittedly I do pop in and out, getting coffee, answering door and so on (it's a hard life being retired). Anyway, Hi there, ExWren!

6:12 am

Uneaixoise

FYI many people never sign out--like me!

6:13 am

Sally-catlover

Hi Scrabbler

6:18 am

Scrabbler

I have to leave for work in 20 minutes--I will have a college pre-med student with me, my veterinarian's daughter. She will make the morning more fun.

6:18 am

herinfernallady

Fun in a bad way or a good way?

6:19 am

Scrabbler

In a good way--things that have become routine and boring for me will be new and exciting for her.

6:23 am

herinfernallady

Ok

6:23 am

herinfernallady

Do I have a habit of making people go away?

6:24 am

Scrabbler

Or was it me? Or are Babblers furiously searching for words?

6:24 am

Sally-catlover

No, but I think we're the only two here.

6:24 am

Sally-catlover

I'm finding the grid a bit sticky today.

6:24 am

Uneaixoise

6:35 am

Scrabbler

There are some great deals on a web site, but I struggle even when spending over $100 on something.

6:35 am

Scrabbler

Ro, I am thinking about a mini-laptop, but there is a great deal on a 15 inch one for just $100 more.

6:36 am

Kallia

9:28 am

MonkeyGames

Was lurking for just a minute resting my back after scrubbing the kitchen, but I thought I would say hello and ask for a clue for pi6, th eone after the spicy food and before the tree. Been driving me nuts!

Good morning, Babblers!

MonkeyGames

Hi Jellen!

9:47 am

dcseain

GM, Jellen :)

9:47 am

dcseain

oh, gotcha MG

9:48 am

Jellen

How is the grid? Is it a small, nasty one?

9:48 am

MonkeyGames

Yes, Jellen, but somehow obscure and bizarre enough to be fun...

9:48 am

dcseain

small, and a bit difficult, but certainly not impossible

9:48 am

MonkeyGames

With some good words too, and plenty of Scottish Babblets.

9:49 am

Jellen

I have limited Babble time today, because my family is in town....

9:49 am

MonkeyGames

The last two are impossible. Trying to decide between asking for clues and going away for a while...

9:49 am

Jellen

Christmas again...Yay!!

9:50 am

MonkeyGames

Watching husband and Walter take the tree down. We'd usually keep it up longer but it seems to have brought hordes and hordes of aphids in from the deck which responded to the sudden rise in temp by hatching, then being unable to eat the tree and dying and falling to the coffee table.

9:50 am

Jellen

Ewwww....

9:51 am

dcseain

but you could have released lady bugs to eat them :)

9:51 am

MonkeyGames

Yup. It's got to go back onto the deck.

9:51 am

wvteach

good morning all

9:51 am

Jellen

We are unseasonably warm here...hit 70 degrees plus last night!

9:51 am

MonkeyGames

Funny, DC, but I won't do it... they'd end up out on the deck too, the ones that stayed by the tree anyway, and it's -2 C out there.

9:51 am

dcseain

morning, WV

9:52 am

Jellen

Hi, wvteach!

9:52 am

wvteach

warm sunny day here

9:52 am

We get enough of them in the house every year anyway-- they hibernate in the walls and pick the wrong side to come out in spring.

9:52 am

dcseain

here it's to be about 20C 68F today! and we had freezing rain day before yesterday

9:52 am

MonkeyGames

Hi WV!

This is the 100th anniversary so it'd be cool if we could hold it. People are practicing like mad at the rink, because when it's cold enough they have to declare race day at the drop of a hat.

9:54 am

Jellen

I miss having kittens...my youngest is 9...

9:55 am

dcseain

oh, may that it happens, MG!

9:56 am

MonkeyGames

It would be fun, that's for sure. Not that I'd race... about an hour on the ice and the one weak ankle starts to complain.

9:58 am

dcseain

oh, your in Frisia, MG/

10:00 am

aebmusica

10:01 am

MonkeyGames

I thought namesake was the one the other is named after? 'Cause in that case we're it. Yes, I like it much more here than I think I would there.

8:33 pm

mrpresident

gwen, they can read music... I am just amazed at the chords that piano has

8:34 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

oh, i was getting the book title and missed your post. in that case skip the book on how to read music! if it's for the kids, best scheme is to find a local piano teacher who works with kids

8:34 pm

Well everything I know now came after I came out of the monastery mr. p

Pinikula

thx min!

8:37 pm

my piano teacher was an old german woman with a big stick.... she would yell EVERY GOOD BOY DESERVES FRUIT whilst wacking the back of my hands with the stick to emphasise each word.
Nice way to learn music

8:38 pm

I loved learning the piano but never had a chance to continue lessons, never owned a piano -- war, y'know

8:38 pm

mrpresident

this was at a very posh anglican school too... such wonderful memories

8:38 pm

rururocks

never take piano lessons from a big german woman with a big stick..

8:38 pm

mrpresident

gwen, back then, they didn't think abusing children was a crime

8:38 pm

Pinikula

had a teacher like that in a parochial school, too!

8:38 pm

rururocks

yeah ... tell that to my mother@

8:39 pm

I got the et = volcano thanks for all the help

8:39 pm

then do it ruru!

8:39 pm

mrpresident

I swear that some of those teachers were just sadistic mental cases that got into teaching just to be 'allowed' to hurt kids

8:39 pm

Pinikula

Fought for my dau when she had a teacher that hit her from behind and called her the "B" word!

8:39 pm

rururocks

it shows up a lot jag remember it

8:39 pm

Minveryork

I blame my piano teacher for my habit of nail biting. She told me that my nails had to stay short to play the piano

8:40 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

although in the 4th grade (1974 or so) my teacher liked to "escort" kids out of the room by the hair. she was an unpleasant person

8:40 pm

mrpresident

pini! that is disgusting!

8:40 pm

Pinikula

wow...bdg! not very nice, eh?

8:40 pm

jillibus

excuse me, abusing children was always a crime. The definition of abuse is what has changed. We're not talking Dickens here.

8:40 pm

can anyone clue ta5/18? I have 2.

8:40 pm

Pinikula

MRP...my dau was 1 of 4 children this teacher hit (once each throughout the year)

8:41 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

the entire institution of school has problems. 30 kids and one teacher is no way to learn, IMO

8:41 pm

redturtlehead

I adore my piano teacher, in fact we still know her...but I have to say when I was a child, I was terrified of her...she was rather strict and I was 6.

8:41 pm

8:41 pm

nell, which 2 do you have?

8:41 pm

redturtlehead

and now sleep I just gave up caring about this grid.

8:41 pm

my 4th class teacher had really long fingernails... she would dig them up under your chin and lift you off the floor toward her hissing face!
Ms Amyet was her name.... she was really really scary!

8:41 pm

Minveryork

The ta 5/18 is past perfect tense of ta 4/8 word nelleon

8:42 pm

Minveryork

ta5/18 is same word with different second vowel nelleon

8:42 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

mrpres, wow, that beats my hair-puller by a long shot!

8:42 pm

Minveryork

Ant the last ta 5/18 is ta plus singer David Bo*** nelleon.

8:42 pm

jillibus

I never had such dreadful "teachers".

8:43 pm

mrpresident

It amazes me though, my parents thought it was just fine to pay $10,000 a year to an institution that abused children under the disguise of teaching

8:43 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye redturtlehead!I'll see you tomorrow in the chat

8:43 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

the hair-puller was Mrs. Grenda. don't recall any other teachers who used pain as a control method . . .

8:43 pm

Pinikula

I actually pulled my dau out of school when she was hit and told the school she would not be returning until they could place her in another class...

8:43 pm

nelleon

I have tthe one that plays off of ta4/8 and the the one that sort of rhymes with maui

8:43 pm

jillibus

mrp -- did they know what was going on?

8:43 pm

Pinikula

...the principal told me I'd have to home school her because the other room was full...

8:43 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

good for you, pini!

8:43 pm

Pinikula

...then the 4th child was hit...

8:44 pm

mrpresident

yes jilli... it was aweful that they agreed with the method

8:44 pm

Minveryork

Clued all of the ta 5/18 words for you nelleon. Good luck

8:44 pm

jillibus

nell, you need ta + relative

8:44 pm

Pinikula

...and the principal moved her to the other class; but not until she moved my dau per the other parents' demand!

8:44 pm

mrpresident

but... it all came unravelled with what happened to my brother! NOW! that is a bad story of sadistic abuse

8:45 pm

Hi there everyone! May I please have a clue for th5-12? Thanks

8:46 pm

mrpres, was this in australia? and may i ask what was the time period?

8:46 pm

8:46 pm

Police wouldn't do a thing when my dau was hit because she didn't have any visible bruising...go figure (especially when she was the 3rd student and the other parents went with to file the complaint)!

8:46 pm

this was in sydney australia and it was mid 80's

mrp -- we sent our son to the boarding school my hubby had loved and had been Head Prefect. His uncle was the very popular English teacher with a lovely sense of humour. Our son ended up hating the place and we didn't know why. Later we found out -- the choirmaster we had all liked was a sadistic pedophile. He was booted out and ended up having an "accident" with a train in London, England.

8:47 pm

Pinikula

and the school district didn't do anything either even after we collected over 1000 signatures to have her removed!

8:47 pm

gapeach

Good evening Minveryork...I trust you are well. I hope you had a great Christmas day.

8:48 pm

hi everyone!

8:49 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i once had an idea of collecting bad stories like this, about bad teachers and whatnot, and putting them into a book. seems everyone has at least one. (Not all involve serious abuse, of course). then i thought, what a horrible book: no one would want to read it!

8:49 pm

Minveryork

Hello lbdawger! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

8:49 pm

mrpresident

my brother was being tutored by an old maths teacher, in his home. My mother would drop him off every saturday morning for 1 hour and then pick him up. He would be very very quiet.

8:49 pm

gapeach

Hi there, Ibdawger!

8:49 pm

Pinikula

I wonder, BDG...if that would really be the case...perhaps certain "officials" just might take things a bit more seriously if there was something to reference!

8:50 pm

lbdawger

Hi Min, Hi peach. i'm doing well. been spoiled today. got a new microwave, and a cross cut shredder!

8:50 pm

jillibus

There is apparently a network of pedophiles at boys' private schools here

8:50 pm

mrpresident

We found out that he would strip my brother naked, lay him across the dining room table on pillows, and whip him on the buttocks with 4 different whips.
Leather, cane, etc
He would first use a pumice stone to remove the old scaring, then whip him till he bled.

8:51 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i dunno, pini: school officials in my experience seem to be great at acting like everything is just fine

8:51 pm

Pinikula

I also think that, regardless of the offense (minor or not), that ANY official would take ANY complaint seriously!!!

8:51 pm

jillibus

right, gwen

8:51 pm

gapeach

Wow! Now you can say you're really "cookin".

8:51 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

holy SH*T mrpres! please tell us there was prison time for this bastard

8:51 pm

jillibus

mrp, that sounds familiar

8:51 pm

lbdawger

OMG, mrp. and how is your brother today?

8:52 pm

mrpresident

no prison time gwen... the police sorted him out 'their' way.

8:52 pm

Minveryork

Hooray for your new microwave and shredder lbdawger.

8:52 pm

lbdawger

prison is too good for a pervert like that!

8:52 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

is that what you meant by "accident" ??

8:52 pm

nelleon

ty all - 3 to go

8:52 pm

mrpresident

my brother is ok, he knows it was not his fault.

8:52 pm

wish I could have sorted things out my way (would have been easier than moving out of the area)

8:53 pm

Minveryork

Go nelleon go!

8:53 pm

Pinikula

thank goodness, MRP...

8:53 pm

mrpresident

oh pini! that is terrible

8:53 pm

altho, in prison he wouldn't have lasted long after the others found out he was a pedophile.

8:54 pm

lbdawger

mind you, my parents marriage pretty much ended after that. Dad held mum responsible cause she was the main carer.

Book Doctor Gwen

going back into the grid . . .

8:55 pm

jillibus

My son's choirmaster (who was his housemaster) would ask if he had washed behind his ears -- if he were honsest and said "no, sir", he was told to come into the master's room in the morning without his pajama bottoms. He would be laid over the master's knees and beaten. We knew nothing about any of this for years -- nor did anyone at the school -- it was dishonourable for a boy to "sneak" such matters.

8:56 pm

Minveryork

Good luck Book Doctor Gwen.I am here to clue if needed

8:56 pm

mrpresident

sorry gwen, there are more stories, but this isn't the platform for those... we survived everything that the evil adults did to us... we came out of it wise and careful as hell with our own kids

8:56 pm

jillibus

This was an Anglican school

8:56 pm

Pinikula

I so know what you mean by "the code", jilli...

8:56 pm

mrpresident

jilli, that is the problem, the dishonour in telling

8:56 pm

Pinikula

...I found out about my dau's traumas throughout that school year because she finally decided to skip school...

8:56 pm

Pinikula

...as a 9 year old!!!!

8:57 pm

mrpresident

wow pini! she must have been scared to go

8:57 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

glad to hear, mrpres.

8:58 pm

Pinikula

she did have a hard time for a bit (especially when she returned to her new classroom and found a birthday card from the offending teacher waiting on her desk)...

8:58 pm

mrpresident

I am an advocate for children... no way I accept an adult using their power and abuse.

8:58 pm

mrpresident

oh lovely pini... what a dipshit

8:59 pm

gapeach

OMG, y'all are hitting really close to home here. I'm just so sorry for the tykes....but the bastards are so good at what they do....there seems to be no clues at all...until much later.

8:59 pm

Pinikula

I agree...and that still didn't get her out of there...

8:59 pm

jillibus

Yet there are many others who have loved their schools (like my hubby and his friends) and never had such awful experiences, just a superb education and wonderful teachers -- musn't forget that.

9:00 pm

Pinikula

...I fought for a year trying to get the teacher out along with many other parents, but sadly to no avail...

9:00 pm

mrpresident

I loved my education and most of my teachers! I knew who to avoid and how to do it after a while... became supersluth at it

9:00 pm

Pinikula

I agree, Jilli...my younger dau didn't experience any of the horrors her big sis did!

9:00 pm

mrpresident

9:00 pm

Pinikula

oh oh oh can I tell her?

10:13 pm

car.eeyore

Pini you are too silly!

10:14 pm

Birdeee

uh oh - and I thought I was doing pretty good!

10:14 pm

Pinikula

(gotta luv cut/paste)

10:14 pm

Pinikula

you're doing great, birdeee!

10:14 pm

Nef

3 words left for me; all P 4's!

10:14 pm

Pinikula

(not stepping on Jilli's toes tho since she asked the initial question)

10:15 pm

Birdeee

well maybe not so great today as I have 34 left - lots of shopping and errands

10:15 pm

jillibus

Lickety's list -- Scroll down to Friends of Babble and Lickety's Babble Clues -- right-click and open it in a new window -- it lists the first 2 letters of each word and its score, and you can enter your words intoit so you know what you're missing

10:15 pm

car.eeyore

Pi 4/9 - the beginning of a pokemon's name pi**chu

10:15 pm

car.eeyore

Birdee, you are doing GREAT!

10:15 pm

Pinikula

ph = [*]retty [*]ot [*]nd [*]empting (new kid's abbrev)

10:16 pm

Pinikula

(sounds like 'obese')

10:16 pm

Pinikula

means "awesome"

10:17 pm

Birdeee

I just looked at that jilli - and I am SO embarrassed!

10:17 pm

Nef

they are all pi words, pini, and car.ee; I don't know anything about pokemons

10:17 pm

jillibus

birdee, I hope you saw my post at 10:15

10:17 pm

jillibus

why be emabarrassed, birdee?

10:18 pm

Birdeee

It would have prevented many lame requests for clues

10:18 pm

Nef

2 left

10:18 pm

Birdeee

but it looks like you have to type everything in twice

10:18 pm

Pinikula

a request is never lame!

10:18 pm

jillibus

birdee, some people don't like to use Lickety's list, prefer to ask for clues, can't see shy, lol

10:18 pm

Pinikula

use the bulk add at the bottom of the list, birdeee ;)

10:19 pm

Nef

Birdee, we ALL needed introductions to Lickety's List at one time or another!

10:19 pm

Birdeee

well lam-ish

10:19 pm

Pinikula

shy is not a descriptive word for anyone's character here!

10:19 pm

jillibus

birdee, there's a"Bulk Add" feature too, go down to the end and see how.

10:19 pm

Birdeee

BULK ADD!!!! now I am happy if I can figure out how to do that.

10:19 pm

car.eeyore

Sorry nef! pi 4/9 (the second one) is like a diver's or gymnast position. Change the last letter to the first vowel for the first 4/9.

10:19 pm

jillibus

it's explained, birdee

10:20 pm

Nef

not in the least! I allow myself to only go to Lickety's list after I'm half done. the bulk add is my biggest help

10:21 pm

jillibus

My bigest help is Babble Expert, available from Lickety if you have a PC (not a Mac) and preferably if you go pro

10:21 pm

car.eeyore

Birdee, trust me!!!! We all take our time in learning the hum that is Babble! We are here to help each other! No clue asked is stupid! Asking questions is perfectly fine! The only oops you can make is typing words in th Chatterbox by accident!

10:21 pm

car.eeyore

or misspelling words...as I just did!

10:22 pm

jillibus

and if you have Expert, you won't put words in the chat

10:22 pm

Pinikula

(although not sure how I manage to do it)

10:22 pm

Nef

jilli, are you talking about me? *I* have a Mac, so it won't work for me! ;-)

10:23 pm

Pinikula

we love ya anyway, nef!

10:23 pm

jillibus

no, nef, just a generalisation

10:23 pm

Nef

(shall I call myself dis-abled?) ;-)

10:24 pm

jillibus

and I do know how to spell "biggest" -- rotten typist, or shall I blame my keyboard?

10:24 pm

jillibus

poor nef, lol!

10:24 pm

Pinikula

* chanting * Keyboard! Keyboard!

10:24 pm

Birdeee

But I specialize in typing words into the chatterbox - I will look into "Expert" though I am getting used to the decor in the Penalty Box

10:25 pm

Pinikula

remember to go PRO, too, Birdee!!!

10:25 pm

jillibus

LOL birdee!

10:25 pm

Nef

FIRWORDS!! I DID IT! :-D

10:25 pm

Pinikula

car.eeyore

YEAH NEF!!!!! I was waiting until you finished! Well done!

10:26 pm

Nef

Thank you all! I can't believe that my last words took so long; they were all EASY!

10:26 pm

jillibus

birdee, when you have Expert there is a box where if you type one word it goes to the list(s) and more than one goes to the chat. It puts everything on one page, plus bonuses

10:26 pm

jillibus

YAY nef!!!

10:27 pm

Nef

BTW, Birdeee, *I* cleaned and restocked the PB today. if you look behind the other stuff in the frig, there is a little something to put in your cocoa! ;-)

10:28 pm

Pinikula
