12:46 am

melonheadjujube

OK, since I luv my babble friends I will tell a story. I was raised Catholic my early years. As we were prepared for our first confession, the sisters and the priests kept warning us about "those" thoughts - as in IM6. Fine, so I go to confession, start with the usual I stole a cookie, and then, for whatever reason told the man behind the screen that i had had ______ thoughts. Got assigned a few Hail Marys & Our Fathers. Later I went home all nervous. "Mom, I lied in confession! I said I had an ______ thought and I don't even know what that is!" I don't remember what my mom said, she probably gave me a cookie, but the story was very durable at familty gatherings.

12:46 am

Melon - that reminds me of a story about myself when I was in Grade 1. My parents always took us to church. At some point during the mass, I realized there was a line up outside some doors. So I asked my Mom if I could go to the washroom and went and stood in line behind the people waiting at the confessionals.

not valid

4:59 am

Michnick

I know, what's with me today? Is it just that I am supposed to be working at home today but cannot get down to it?

5:01 am

sprite

feelings of guilt can be very upsetting

5:03 am

Michnick

That must be it.

5:03 am

Michnick

brang

5:04 am

herinfernallady

Mich Get up have a shower. Focus. Think of one thing you can do and do it

sprite

lol nope, also not valid

5:04 am

sprite

good advice,lady, that is the only thing that works for me on days like that

5:04 am

lynxxx

almost is, change last letter

5:05 am

Michnick

Good idea, except I just had a shower. I'm nursing my 2nd cup of coffee. Brang isn't a word but it's there and I can't convince my kids it doesn't exist.

5:05 am

sprite

so tell them to brang you more coffee!

5:05 am

herinfernallady

Even if you go and clean the loo. One small thing

5:06 am

Michnick

I love it Sprite! Except (Thank GD) they are still in school, coming home for lunch soon which I will use to put off work.

5:06 am

Michnick

No, lady, I am supposed to be working on work stuff for my job. Today is officially my day off, but I am too behind to ignore it.

5:07 am

sprite

well there you are. On your day off, you are supposed to relax. Working on days off is a sure way to burnout. It is your selfpreserving talent that keeps you babbling. Good for you.

5:07 am

o-o

Any incoming today. Michnick?

5:07 am

Michnick

hare

5:08 am

sprite

yes, that one is valid, but should be put into the other box

Michnick

Status quo here BR. Jerusalem is still quiet.

Trifioso

no way, kje - in fact, borrow my tip = tell everyone you are 48 today , and listen to the gasps of shock and compliments over how amazing you look all day long...

5:33 am

lynxxx

ab8 - you can add a to br7.44

5:34 am

kje

lol trif!

5:34 am

o-o

ab 8 -- add a speed contest: ***e; pet: c***

5:34 am

Michnick

Thanks Lynxx, except I don't have the br 7

5:35 am

lynxxx

br7 br*n** of a tree & 2 vowels

5:35 am

kje

aaahhh - ab8 is an anatomical term

5:35 am

o-o

age is just a number and the more you have aged the higher the number

5:35 am

kje

true br... but that is not the ONLY effect of aging : )

5:35 am

Michnick

OK, I got the word but I don't see how pet fits there.

5:35 am

lynxxx

it all gets easier as you get older

5:36 am

herinfernallady

KJE its your birfday

5:36 am

kje

5:36 am

Michnick

Lynxx, what exactly gets easier as you get older?

5:36 am

lynxxx

I wondered too, my daughter said there used to be fast growing pet plants

5:36 am

kje

*can't figure out why herin insists on reminding me about that* LOL

5:36 am

o-o

pet is ch 4/6

5:37 am

Michnick

Ok, I got that, I just guessed and got the ch4

5:37 am

lynxxx

Everything gets easier, the kids grow up, money is easier cause you don't want as much, you become more tolerant of people & life etc...well, in my book anyway

5:37 am

KristineNas

Good Morning Babble. I'm not liking this grid.

KristineNas

We're getting more on um Wednesday I think , quite a few inches

5:59 am

crosshair

6:01 am

Michnick

Oh no!

6:01 am

bichon

Michnik, My hubby and I were talking at dinner last night about the rockets. He's very well informed about warfare [from an academic point of view]. He doesn't think the Gaza rockets could reach Jerusalem

6:01 am

Trifioso

no, I own thanks

6:01 am

lynxxx

wow 500 words - that must be a difficult language to learn

6:02 am

herinfernallady

Bfs im loking now

6:03 am

crosshair

there is gonna be some tritchy nut case in some 3rd world area going to go off the deep end and let off a dirty squirt bomb that he made in some basement and poison hakf of some country bichon..crazy people

6:03 am

Michnick

No, he's right, Bich, the trouble will grow if any of the other groups get involved from other places. We are just a stone's throw from Jordan (OK a long throw, but close enough).

6:04 am

bfsog

thanks lady dont go to any trouble

6:05 am

herinfernallady

Sorry Bfs it seems to have gone to crap since i was last there

6:05 am

Michnick

That is the scary part, Crosshair. They are so many terrorists convinced they are right and willing to die for it. We have been living with that side of it for years already.

6:05 am

bfsog

no problem

6:06 am

crosshair

i am very sorry you are in the midst of it mich

6:06 am

herinfernallady

There is so much built there now it makes me sad BFS

6:06 am

Trifioso

oh, mich, we are all carrying you in our hearts

6:06 am

Michnick

Well, thank GD, Jerusalem is not really in the midst of it. My kids come home every day and tell me that new kids from the south are joining their classes.

6:07 am

herinfernallady

Mich thinking of you

6:08 am

bichon

My husband's coworker has a daughter wo went to Israel to study right before the Lebanon incursion and had to come home as rockets were hitting Haifa and she returned recently to have it happen again [I don't know exactly where in Israel she is]

6:09 am

crosshair

the U.S and soviets have been at the nuclear game so long that they now realize that there can be no winner,no such thing as acceptable losses in that kind of fighting.what scares me are countries new to the technology who dont yet realize this

6:11 am

crosshair

sorry all enough doom and gloom,babble time:)

6:11 am

herinfernallady

Sorry BFs you ahve me completly stumped

6:12 am

bfsog

lady i thought/heard that Fraser Island was a deserted sandy island thats what appealed to me! dam those corporations!

6:12 am

Trifioso

no, it's fine crossy, you raise an excellent issue. and we all have mich on our mind today, so of course we are thinking such thoughts

6:12 am

Michnick

Thank you all for the thoughts. I agree with you, CrossH, there can be no winner.

6:13 am

bichon

Have we heard from Ishult lately? OUr other Israeli player

6:13 am

herinfernallady

Nope its not. It used to be

6:13 am

crosshair

all dissagreements should be settled with olympic games;)

6:14 am

Trifioso

mich, is there someone on the board that you are in regular communications with? if you had to leave quickly, is there a way you could let us all know you are at least safe?

6:14 am

bfsog

oh well.. dont dampen my holiday plans!

6:14 am

herinfernallady

GO its very awesome though

6:15 am

Michnick

Well, mkg is my neighbor's daughter's mother in law. If anything happened here she'd know right away. But I really don't anticipate it getting that bad, not where I am at least.

6:15 am

Trifioso

please understand, I don't mean to overstep. obviously your family would come first, I totally get that, I just know that this is a close community, and I am sure there are folks on here you are friendly with, is all.

6:16 am

Michnick

Of Trif! You don't overstep, you have no idea how touched I am by your care and concern!

6:16 am

lynxxx

Ishult has been on this last week. ARB, also in Israel, is a regular player but does not chat as much as she used to

6:16 am

Trifioso

i wonder if there is anywhere else on this big old web as lovely and caring as this chog...i certainly haven't found it so

6:17 am

crosshair

nor i and i have been to some wild corners of the web;)

6:18 am

6:28 am

Ah ... finished with the a words!

6:28 am

bichon

ty Kris, never would have gotten that

6:28 am

Merk

Where are the other 8s please.

6:28 am

KristineNas

i have an La 8

6:28 am

Trifioso

merk, one of them is a british worker

6:28 am

KristineNas

yw bich

6:28 am

KristineNas

ooh sounds like i called you a female dog lol

6:29 am

Trifioso

LOL kristine!

6:29 am

KristineNas

Dat not nice lol

6:29 am

Katydid0615

but a bichon is a dog isn't it?

6:29 am

bichon

No problem Kris. Before we got Bichons I used to think it was a very funny name. People call them Bitchn' frizzes

6:29 am

KristineNas

yes it is

6:29 am

lynxxx

br8.60 starts with a part of a tree - and a similar ab8.60

6:29 am

Merk

Thanks for the la 8 clue. And the third one is where?

6:30 am

KristineNas

very good clue lynn

6:30 am

KristineNas

ty

6:30 am

Trifioso

wow, thanks lynn1 that's the 8s for me...

6:31 am

Merk

And on my way to the br 8, I got an unusual br 7 thanks to your clue.

6:31 am

Merk

Somehow I only have two 7s left as well.

6:32 am

Merk

This is an unusual and interesting grid thus far.

6:32 am

Trifioso

the fact that it is "british spelling day" helps a lot with the 7's

6:32 am

KristineNas

Can I have a clue for the 2nd Na please ?

6:32 am

Katydid0615

daughter used to have a bichon. it was a very high strung dog.

6:32 am

Trifioso

i think it is the lack of an "s" that makes it so - no plurals means more unique words to find

6:33 am

bichon

Katy, that's strange, cause Bichons are the opposite of high-strung. Ours have been very mellow

6:33 am

Katydid0615

could be because she had 4 kids running around and the dog was probably scared witless.

6:34 am

Katydid0615

they ended up giving her to an elderly lady who did very well with her.

6:34 am

bichon

That would do it Katy. Bichons can't be mistreated. They need to be adored

6:34 am

suefrad625

brick a br/5 18

6:34 am

Trifioso

hmmmm. i must have been a bichon in a past life....

6:35 am

suefrad625

This is very important...How do you dry sneakers in the dryer without the door getting kicked open?

6:35 am

lynxxx

lol Trif - and rightly so

6:35 am

Trifioso

sue - chuck in a few dry bath towels

6:35 am

bichon

Sue, you can't trust me

6:35 am

Trifioso

Judi

Best to return the champers then, Trif. Lord knows, if I had that much, I'd only drink it. If it's not around, no temptation.

9:21 am

Judi

Protesting: ancho is a chile pepper.

9:22 am

beachboggle

I'm with you, Judi... ancho should be accepted

9:22 am

Judi

9:36 am

Trifioso

harp and beach, there is no s today, so more unique words to find, and LOADS of phantoms....it makes it quite tricky

9:37 am

inge

Remember when a section of West India voted in the Communist, and out again two years later. That was in the 50's I think., But it can be done

9:37 am

harpjane

cybernan

the first half was easy -- now for the slogging!

10:17 am

MonkeyGames

I am just livid: we are avid House fans and were very excited that 13th Street is showing lots of epsodes. Recorded some we haven't seen in a while, watched them-- they were censored!!!!

10:17 am

skooj

clue for the ab7? is it related to the 8?

10:17 am

Judi

Ah, Fireworks at last.

10:17 am

Trifioso

in what way? language, content, etc?

10:17 am

skooj

congrats, judi

10:17 am

Trifioso

yay judi!!!

10:17 am

MonkeyGames

Some of the more graphic imagery.

10:18 am

Trifioso

is 13th street a public channel, or a govt owned one?

10:18 am

MonkeyGames

Cable only. We are talking a dedicated thriller channel after kids' usual bedtimes and everything. I wrote thema letter.

10:19 am

MonkeyGames

Plus they cut things the Dutch public stations wouldn't have, so that's not an issue anyway.

10:19 am

Trifioso

i am glad you did so.

10:19 am

Judi

Wow, Monkey. I watch House all the time. Can't remember much graphic imagery. Seen a few bloody noses. House doesn't really go for the gross-out too often.

10:19 am

cybernan

ab? -- don't have any ab words

10:19 am

Judi

House is no where near as bad as CSI. Constant gore there.

10:20 am

MonkeyGames

They cut the pan-down to show diarrhea on a bed in the radiation sickness one, they cut the guy's eye swelling out in the big-toungue-guy one. Couple other things.

10:20 am

Trifioso

skooj, that is the word I am stuck on too - my last one!

10:20 am

MonkeyGames

I never got into CSI...

10:20 am

o-o

ab 8 -- a + undergarment and pet

10:20 am

Trifioso

honestly, ick. I am not sure I would *want* to see those things, anyway...

10:20 am

skooj

ab7? is it related BR?

10:21 am

MonkeyGames

Well, not as such per se and all, but they are brief and integral...

10:21 am

skooj

ohhh, trif...it's driving me mad

10:21 am

o-o

ab 7 -- add a nuclear *****or

10:21 am

MonkeyGames

Not like they zoom in or anything... and they cut off dialogue to cut them out.

10:21 am

Trifioso

i don't want to find it. I don't wnat to do my stuupid errands

10:21 am

Judi

Oh, Trif - ya big whimp. Good for you for writing a letter, Monkey.

10:22 am

kje

lone right column R?

10:22 am

skooj

BR...ty!!!

10:22 am

Judi

*giggles* Imagines Dutch censors bleeping out House saying "pooh".

10:22 am

cybernan

ty monkey and bab rab

10:22 am

Trifioso

something funny here, mg, is that when reruns of ER (my personal fave) is on, they don't have subtitles for the dialogue that isn't in english. makes for a loooong episode, sometimes!

10:23 am

MonkeyGames

I pointed out that we will not watch their channel again-- which will not be hard as House is the only redeeming thing they have ever shown,but I saw fit not to mention that detail.

10:23 am

MonkeyGames

They did that here with something or other the other day, Trif, with lots of Thai in it...

10:23 am

Judi

Can you watch it online, Monkey? Doubt it's censored there.

10:23 am

o-o

re 5 ---- and second thespian performance

10:24 am

MonkeyGames

Despite listening to my Thai co-worker on the phone all day I don't understand a syllable of it! You'd think they'd subtitle in ONE of the languages I read well...

10:24 am

kje

nope... off the upper R BR... everyone I try is coming off that upper R!

10:24 am

Trifioso

BBC america has gone down the loo here, that is for true. they used to have a great variety of diff shows, but now it is all gordon ramsay and how clean is your house. total snooze. oh, and cash in the attic, five episodes in a row! visual valium

10:24 am

MonkeyGames

Yeah, we could do that. It was just noice to have something on TV for a change.

10:25 am

kje

visual valium - LOLOL

10:25 am

Judi

Now Gordon Ramsey is someone who gets censored a great deal. Talk about potty mouth!

10:25 am

Trifioso

:)

10:25 am

MonkeyGames

Oh, and here they also tend to put subtitles in the same place on the screen... so if someone is speaking Japanese or Spanish or something, and it was originally broadcast somewhere English-speaking, they put the Dutch right over the English so nobody can read any of it!

10:25 am

Trifioso

oh, he is just the WORST. why give such a person a platform?

10:25 am

Trifioso

that is awful, mg! how frustrating!

10:25 am

skooj

any hints for the ou6, please?

10:26 am

kje

ou6 - like the big monkey

10:26 am

Trifioso

like the big primate that isn't black

10:26 am

Judi

I know, Trif. He's so vicious. They must pay the Kitchen Nightmare "victims" very handsomely to put up with his tirades.

10:26 am

skooj

thanks trif and kje...great clues

10:27 am

Trifioso

i just don't think that sort of verbal abuse is necessary, or appropriate in the workplace, or anywhere else, really

10:27 am

fuquayvarina

kje, that r is like what you do to an itch, minus the sc

10:27 am

kje

yay - TY fuq!

10:27 am

Judi

Yes. He does take it too far. I can't imagine actually working for him. All his employees must be in therapy. Post-traumatic Gordon Syndrome.

10:28 am

MonkeyGames

Starting to feel a tad warmer now.... had to bike from work to Walter's school (1/2 hour) and then home with him (20 minutes) and it is -3 with a wind out there. At least Walter was wrapped in sheep skin and fleece. I was not.

10:28 am

Trifioso

oh dear. fireworks. sigh

10:28 am

o-o

ra 5 -- r + cabbage p[a]***

10:28 am

MonkeyGames

Poor Trif! You can do it!

10:28 am

o-o

congrats, Trifioso

10:28 am

Judi

YAY, TRIF!

10:29 am

skooj

congrats trif

10:29 am

Trifioso

thanks. oh gads, now I can't avoid the rest of my day. sitting here all warm and cozy is so much more attractive than going out in the cold...

10:29 am

MonkeyGames

Hang in there!

10:29 am

smukkesakken

Hello (=

10:30 am

Trifioso

and I have yet to discover how to take a hot shower and towel dry whilst remaining in the nice warm water....

10:30 am

Judi

Geez, Monkey. Your eyeballs must have frozen.

10:30 am

Trifioso

it is SO COLD out there

10:30 am

Judi

Hiya, Smukk!

10:30 am

MonkeyGames

Yeah, Walter and i just went through that one, Trif...

10:31 am

smukkesakken

How old are you Judi ?

10:31 am

MonkeyGames

Eyeballs did indeed feel rather brittle. Supposed to be much colder tomorrow. How cold is it THERE, Trif?

10:32 am

Trifioso

i am not sure exactly, but it is pretty cold. 20 or 30 maybe. not bike riding weather, anyway

10:32 am

MonkeyGames

When I said -3 that is of course Celsius; it's 26.6 F out there.

10:33 am

Trifioso

maybe 22

10:33 am

MonkeyGames

Sounds like we're in the same boat.

10:33 am

kje

it is 30 F here... which feels much colder since it was 80 on Saturday... my body is in shock

10:33 am

Trifioso

on new years day we had the crazy folks going swimming in the waters around the city (almost went in the PB!) and it was all of -11 F

10:33 am

kje

i literally heard my feet say, WTF!, this morning

10:33 am

Trifioso

80!!! is that anywhere near normal?

10:34 am

MonkeyGames

That is a shocking transition, kje! I'm surprised people's bones didn't just shatter.

10:34 am

kje

no, it was above norma;

10:34 am

Trifioso

lol kje

10:34 am

kje

though normal for dallas is a moving target - it is normal to go hot cold hot cold, etc

10:35 am

Trifioso

we have black ice coating everything, and the sunlight is that weak grey color. so despressing

10:35 am

o-o

did you get the lone r, kj?

10:35 am

Trifioso

yes, we have a saying here kje "if you don't like the weather in new england, wait a minute"

10:35 am

kje

yes, TY br

10:35 am

kje

it is no longer lonely

10:35 am

MonkeyGames

Wow. At least our sunlight is an oblique yellow and the sky has been that scrubbed-steel blue I find pretty, with a lot of swans flying around for some reason.

10:36 am

kje

hey, we say that too trif

10:37 am

kje

so br... i am going to be nosy... how old ARE you? you are always saying you are ancient, but I always had it in my mind you were in your late 50s-60s

10:37 am

Trifioso

okay, I just can't put it off anymore. off to 'add value" oh, and I have our fun-time trip to the marriage counselor to look forward to tonight. sigh. I HATE going

10:38 am

kje

hope it is works out, trif

10:38 am

o-o

60

10:38 am

MonkeyGames

Sigh indeed! Well, hang in there and just get it all over with!

10:38 am

kje

LOL - that is so NOT ancient

10:38 am

kje

10:39 am

10:40 am

cybernan

10:40 am

kje

so you've said br... so sorry... hopefully they'll find something to help... can you get a corneal transplant?

10:41 am

o-o

going to volunteer for the firing squad

10:42 am

kje

nah... go to wilmer at hopkins... go get a corneal transplant... less dramatic than a firing squad, but allows you to live, so may be the better option

10:43 am

3. Where did I do a good job?
4. Who was I valuable to today?
5. How did I take care of myself today?

11:19 pm

harpjane

i was in southern Colorado a few years ago, and I considered driving across the okl. panhandle to Texas. Strictly so that I could say I'd been to two more states....

11:19 pm

Jellen

Barely missed meeting ruru...he was on the grounds of the resort where I was staying, but I wasn't there at the time...

11:19 pm

o2baflyndog

not worth the drive, imo, harpjane! =)

11:19 pm

Jellen

Agreed, o2

11:19 pm

harpjane

well i think it would have looked a lot like southern colorado, right?

11:20 pm

Jellen

That's desolate country...

11:20 pm

o2baflyndog

southeastern colorado, yes, and pretty icky

11:20 pm

We have relatives in Fayetteville Ark, and will probably go to Branson or something touristy with them, and then head into either the something or other river in northern Ark, or the Buffalo something wilderness in MIssouri.

11:23 pm

Jellen

Haven't been there, either...closest I've been is northern Arizona and New Mexico

11:23 pm

harpjane

(Do you think I need to do a little more research?)

11:23 pm

o2baflyndog

nah, just let someone else be the tourguide

11:23 pm

harpjane

well that's fine until you start hiking.....

11:24 pm

Jellen

Maybe a little more research...Branson's only 2 hours from me...

11:24 pm

o2baflyndog

heh, carry your own map!

11:24 pm

harpjane

um, yeah, that's sort of what I mean by research...

11:24 pm

Jellen

Fayetteville's 1.5 hours away...

11:24 pm

o2baflyndog

my kind of research, buying a map!

11:25 pm

11:27 pm

harpjane

I like good music of all kinds so I'll enjoy Branson. I'll just have to find the GOOD music

11:28 pm

harpjane

11:36 pm

gapeach

Gee, Harpjane, I thought that was my last husbands own thing.....

11:37 pm

Jellen

I should formalize my New Year's resolutions, so one can clearly delineate when I break them...

11:37 pm

harpjane

Chest pounding, I mean.
