jilli, the family room of my paren't house is done in old barn siding. There was a tornado about when my dad was building our house. He passed a barn that was flattened in the storm. Offered to haul away some of the debris, including the siding and a hand-hewn beam that became the mantlepiece of the fire place. And that's my experience with barns. :)

12:52 am

firefly779

neat story melon, i like it

12:53 am

ty dart -- pondering sa5s

12:57 am

melonheadjujube

what I liked about the barn siding is that we could be casual about putting a nail in to hang things up. My folks weren't collectors, but if they happened on something interesting and rustic, up it would go: cowbells, cabbage slicers, copper pots, etc.

12:57 am

PAV3

the small town I grew up ion was surrounded by farms, and yet I didn't venture outside of the 5 square miles of city until college

I am going to change my icon though I like this one, theme today is BARNs.

6:24 am

Merk

I think everyone has their nose in this testy little grid.

6:25 am

Atalante

*flop*

6:25 am

redturtlehead

I was feeling distinctly unpopular. But whatever!

6:26 am

redturtlehead

ata....flopping?

6:26 am

Scrabbler

Hello all. I love barns and admire the numerous old ones out here in the country.

6:27 am

redturtlehead

I picked the toy barn, remember the one that mooed when you opened the door?

6:27 am

Atalante

so far today I've walked the dog for ages, done errands, done aerobic exercise on the Wii .... flop!

6:27 am

Scrabbler

Yes, so flop and relax, Ata.

6:27 am

redturtlehead

Wow, Ata, I've walked the dog. thats it...You do have a few hours on me though. Rest enjoy Babble!

6:28 am

Atalante

*and* lost 5lb last week. woot!

6:28 am

Scrabbler

Mooo, mooo. Fisher-Price barn?

6:28 am

Scrabbler

Five? Did you fast?

6:29 am

Atalante

no! not at *all*

6:29 am

morning everyone,testing new icon for todays theme:)

6:29 am

morning all

6:29 am

Scrabbler

Hi Crossy

6:30 am

Scrabbler

Hi Carlee

6:30 am

crosshair

took that pic myself:))

6:30 am

Atalante

hi carlee! hi crossy!

6:30 am

carleekat

what is the theme?

6:30 am

crosshair

howdy scrabbs,carlee and all the rest:)

6:30 am

crosshair

barns

6:31 am

Scrabbler

Great pic, crossy

6:31 am

carleekat

ahhh>>>

6:31 am

Scrabbler

I love old, crooked barns, well, as long as they are safe. I see many collapsed ones out here.

6:32 am

Scrabbler

Go the the web site of the Shelburne Museum in Burlington, VT--huge, round, red barn there. I walked in it.

6:35 am

Scrabbler

NBC--featuring Ritz-CArlton in DC--$7000/night suite--dining room, catered meals, etc....and it is booked for 10 nights by someone

6:36 am

crosshair

that old barn on top of the mountain just spoke to me;)

6:36 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I see barns in the same way--so historic.

6:36 am

Merk

Changing the subject to something nasty, but necessary ... I am having a colonoscopy Wednesday. Have any of you had one? How did you survive two days of clear liquids with something besides broth and jello?

6:36 am

crosshair

wish i had a better camera at that time than a 6 dollar wal-mart disposable:/

6:37 am

crosshair

my wife had one 2 months ago merk

6:37 am

Merk

I dread the not eating more than the procedure. I don't overeat, but I love to eat. It will be sad.

6:37 am

Atalante

2 days? wow the time is getting longer and longer!

6:37 am

Scrabbler

I had a colon prep before one of my abd operations--NOT fun, but I only had to start the afternoon prior.

6:37 am

crosshair

she has i.b.s and a few bowel twists

6:38 am

Merk

Yes, first they were going to do one day with Fleet, but changed it to two days with MoviPrep

6:38 am

Merk

I have nothing wrong; this is preventive medicine like Katie Couric pleads for.

6:38 am

Scrabbler

Yuck, Merk. But you will get through it, and you want the doc to have a sparkling clean colon to view.

6:39 am

Merk

Ah, yes, with nice pictures, I'm sure.

6:39 am

Scrabbler

I will have my first colonoscopy later this year as I will be 50 in Sept.

6:40 am

crosshair

ahh just looking for polyps and such merk?

6:40 am

Merk

That's when to do it. I've seen too many nasty cancer cases not to go through this. I'm working on my hubby to do likewise.

6:41 am

Merk

I'm just in a semi-foul mood because I was supposed to have painters here today. They have not returned my calls and I was looking forward to tolerating my days by enjoying the view of changing walls.

6:41 am

Scrabbler

At 44 words I have hit the wall. Have Babblers said that this is a tough grid?

6:41 am

carleekat

oh i hope not..i JUST started

6:42 am

Atalante

it's not the easiest

6:42 am

mrpresident

why aren't these people leaving?? I have fed them, watered them, entertained them.... go already!!

6:42 am

Merk

I have found it tough. I got to 68 before I hit the wall; I had to ponder awhile. I'm at 63 left now, thanks to some great clues I've eavesdropped on.

6:43 am

featherbee

morning.

6:44 am

Atalante

make the cat fart, that should send them packing

6:44 am

Merk

good morning

6:45 am

Scrabbler

Hi feather--day off for you! My college nephew came down here last night and will spend the day because he is off too.

6:45 am

featherbee

sounds fun. i'm glad it's a day off, since doug is now the only healthy one.

6:45 am

Scrabbler

Funny Ata!

6:46 am

Scrabbler

But I DO have to work. And I play tennis first and pretend the ball is my boss. Wham, bam!

6:46 am

Atalante

so satisfying

6:46 am

featherbee

daniel had the fever yesterday, seems ok at the moment. nick woke up last night throwing up, did so most of the night. i woke up around 4 to throw up. yay yippee.

6:47 am

featherbee

i wish i could just type to my family, i don't feel like talking out loud. gonna be a movie day for sure.

6:48 am

Scrabbler

Yuck, it's tough when a germ hits a family, one person at a time, and there is nothing you can do to stop it.

6:48 am

featherbee

i just told doug he's not allowed to get it until i'm better

6:50 am

6:53 am

Scrabbler

One hour before my alarm was to go off Bunny Sebastian jumped up on the bed, sat next to my head on the pillow, and began licking my face. It was a great way to start my day. (no sarcasm) He is such a sweetie. I wish I could have him forever!

6:54 am

crosshair

6:54 am

Scrabbler

Hi jorjah. How cute, Carlee.

6:54 am

NonoNanette

6:55 am

Scrabbler

7:16 am

I've heard of blood clots before in young women, especially if they are on the pill.

7:16 am

Scrabbler

A blood clot---ugh! How random, and often no clues before a pulmonary embolism.

7:16 am

littlebit

what's worse is i have low blood sugar and have to eat periodically

7:16 am

crosshair

:(

7:16 am

crosshair

have a shot of vodka before you go in:)

7:16 am

Scrabbler

Me too, littlebit--I have fainted from low blood sugar, or get a migraine.

7:17 am

littlebit

7:17 am

Boy, aren't we a motley crew today.

how about ra4 across the 2nd frm bottom row?

7:28 am

Merk

Isn't it deceptive. Sometimes words pop out and you think, not bad, I'll roll through this one. Then reality hits and you realize its a bugger of a grid.

7:28 am

Scrabbler

Oh, well, I saw it there anyway.

7:29 am

NonoNanette

i typed it in several times Scrabs because the bottom s tile was still blank

use ultrapure liquid paraffin. just fill the lamp partway, let the wick sit in the oil a minute, and light. keep the wick pulled down so only a little sticks out of the holder -- the farther it sticks out, the larger the flame and the more smoky

8:15 am

Scrabbler

*hm, trying to figure out ending of for id8*

currently I am enjoying "great movies you haven't seen" with my kids - I pick them, of course....so far we have done Tootsie, Splash, Galaxy Quest, and Wings of Desire....some go over better than others...and we are book on cd loving people

9:07 am

Brookie

sounds great

9:08 am

Trifioso

the best part about books on cds is that the kids can load the cds on to their ipods, or we burn our own copies of the book, and then we return the cds and can then listen to the books over and over

I see the french word for chilly is in the grid today. So now I am wondering how cold it is in france! LOL

I'm hanging in there. It's hitting me a bit harder than I expected. Walter is having melancholy moments but handling it all right. Saskia (you were right!) isn't looking for her thanks to my letting her see the body, but she does frequently go to SCSI's favorite spots and stand there sighing. But we're pulling on through!

1:10 pm

4:40 pm

red we can't all get arrested! then who would bail the rest of the people out of jail?

I'm ccccccold tonight... furnace not working, and space heaters seem to be overwhelming my circuits

oh good dc... pffft lol

LOL kaz :)

6:16 pm

HollyF

re5/10? not the plural or ra4/4

6:17 pm

dcseain

holly, re lubricate

6:17 pm

hurshy

any ETA on the fixing of the furnace, nrkii? can you stay at a friend's?

6:17 pm

Minveryork

That re 5/10 word means to lubricate again HollyF.

6:17 pm

HollyF

duh, getting fish for fish slap thank you dc

6:17 pm

HollyF

you too minveryork

6:18 pm

nrkii

no eta yet Hurshy... he was supposed to be hunting for the part today

6:18 pm

Minveryork

yw

6:18 pm

nrkii

I can sleep at neighbors if I have to, but would really rather not

6:18 pm

dcseain

boiler or furnace, nrkii?

6:18 pm

nrkii

the problem seems to be the exhaust fan motor on the furnace... which is connected to a boiler... which is connected to lovely OLD radiators all over my house

6:19 pm

nrkii

COLD radiators and OLD radiators

6:19 pm

dcseain

ah, okay, that shouldn't be too hard to source, worst case, they replace the fan then?

6:20 pm

nrkii

apparently this fan/motor part is tough to replace

6:20 pm

redturtlehead

nrkii, i'd lend you my 0 degree sleeping bag....it helps a load when no heat.

6:21 pm

dcseain

oh, old then, and a hard shape factor to infill.

6:21 pm

nrkii

the furnace broke down Thursday/Friday, and so far the plumber has been here about 12 hours, I'd guess

6:21 pm

dcseain

do you know the part? I've tons of relatives in pipefitting/hvac, and may be able to help

6:21 pm

nrkii

red, send it on up, I'd love it!

6:21 pm

kje

that cannot possibly be a good sign nrkii

6:21 pm

dcseain

if it's just the fan, that is.

6:21 pm

featherbee

boo

6:22 pm

nrkii

dc, nope, I've been gone all weekend, so all of this is just from phone conversations... I just got home to my 50-degree house this afternoon

Hello kje! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle!

6:22 pm

TY dolly!

6:22 pm

Minveryork

Hello featherbee! How are you? Welcome to the grid!

6:22 pm

featherbee

oh brrrr nrkii

6:22 pm

dcseain

how frustrating, nrkii

6:22 pm

dcseain

hi, feather

6:23 pm

nrkii

I'd be slightly less frustrated if the stupid circuit breaker hadn't tripped.... I had to go through my bedrooms upstairs and unplug alarm clocks and such so I won't trip it again in the middle of the night

6:23 pm

nrkii

feels like Apollo 13, when they're trying to get the exact right sequence to turn things on so they don't overload the system

6:23 pm

dcseain

what bother! you'd think they'd have disconnected the shorted part

6:24 pm

dcseain

i'm sure it does, nrkii

6:24 pm

nrkii

though I suppose this is slightly less life-threatening

6:24 pm

dcseain

usually, if it's not horribly cold there.

6:24 pm

nrkii

oh no, it's not the furnace that's the issue with the circuit, it's the space heaters I have plugged in all over the place (LOL)

6:24 pm

dcseain

are you worried about pipes yet?

6:24 pm

dcseain

ah, gotcha, nrkii :)

6:24 pm

featherbee

just try to not set yourself or the house on fire, ok nrk?

6:25 pm

dcseain

yes, what feather said

6:25 pm

nrkii

we have heaters pointed at the danger spots for the pipes, and the taps dripping in the most dangerous spots

6:25 pm

nrkii

plumber says the pipes should hold out

6:25 pm

nrkii

yeah, setting the house on fire is a worry... not sure if I should turn off some of the space heaters tonight...

6:25 pm

dcseain

li4.5 makes me want to go to the local pizza/pasta joint, which is call le4.5's LOL

6:25 pm

dcseain

may that the pipes do hold out.

6:25 pm

nrkii

though these aren't particularly dangerous ones... not propane or anything like that

6:25 pm

kje

I know that place dc - decent pizza

6:26 pm

dcseain

best to warm only where pipes are and where you are sleeping at night

6:26 pm

featherbee

just plug in electric?

6:26 pm

nrkii

just plug in electric, yep

6:26 pm

dcseain

yes, though i do like the pasta, too, kje

6:26 pm

nrkii

6:26 pm

nrkii

4 upstairs, 4 on first floor, and 2 in basement

6:26 pm

kje

never had the pasta

6:26 pm

featherbee

so what might be a good food for someone who is getting pretty sick of toast but doesn't want to overload the tummy system?

6:26 pm

nrkii

my electric bill is going to be INsane

6:26 pm

dcseain

i'm hungry, and tom's still asleep. he, like i, does not want waken for food, but gosh i'm hungry.

6:27 pm

10:00 pm

kje

10:00 pm

Not 'got over' or really 'forgiven' though, but maybe that will come in time.

10:05 pm

Jacula

Is it Obama Day today?

10:05 pm

mrpresident

not today jac... tomorrow

10:05 pm

Jacula

If so, I wish him luck and hope to God that no one tries to assassinate him.

10:06 pm

mrpresident

he gets sworn in in 20 hours I think

10:06 pm

meliae

ok what is that little mark used in punctuation called that sounds like tilda? am I totally off track here? and hello everyone

10:06 pm

harpjane

well, is it Tuesday in the UK? then it's obama day

10:06 pm

mrpresident

jac, you have that sinking feeling too?

10:06 pm

Jacula

tilde

10:06 pm

Jellen

Hi, mel! It's tilde, I think...

10:06 pm

meliae

ahhh ok thank you

10:06 pm

Jacula

Harp - it IS Tuesday in UK, 4.06am.

10:07 pm

bichon

what time is the flip PST?

10:07 pm

mrpresident

it is tuesday 3pm... so he is president according to our time

10:08 pm

harpjane

well it's his DAY but GWB is still the president

10:08 pm

bichon

Jacula, what are you doing up at 4 AM?

10:08 pm

Jacula

MrP - I do feel that Obama's story might not end well. Not because I don't think he'll make a good president, but sometimes I 'feel things', I did when Kennedy's brother became a senator, and I was ony a child then.

10:08 pm

mrpresident

bichon... she is always up at 4am

10:08 pm

bichon

Obama can't be worse than what we've had

10:09 pm

mrpresident

I know what you mean jac.

10:09 pm

Jacula

Not always up at 4am but quite often, hence the net nick of the vampire kind.

10:10 pm

Jacula

Well, MrP, let's hope I'm wrong.

10:10 pm

mrpresident

same here

10:12 pm

Jacula

Anyone need any clues while I'm here?

10:14 pm

mrpresident

nah jac... finding the left over fish

10:14 pm

Jacula

No? I may have to start singng then.

10:15 pm

Jacula

O sole mio!

10:15 pm

Jacula

That's a fish! LOL

10:16 pm

Jacula

I'd rather be a hammer than a nail, if I COD... I surely would...

10:17 pm

Jacula

Sitting on the haddock of the bay, wasting time...

10:17 pm

Jacula

Day bream believer and a...

10:17 pm

Jacula

Anyone begging for mercy yet?:-)

10:18 pm

mrpresident

you have put my brain into a timewarp jac! LOL

10:18 pm

joshuavorbis

hi - is this one doable in 1 hour 42 minutes?

10:18 pm

Jacula

:-)))))))))))

10:18 pm

Jellen

Ummmm...I think I'll just step over to FB for a minute... :-)

10:18 pm

Jacula

Hi jos - possibly, if you use the list.

10:19 pm

lil*monkey

did someone mention a Monkees song???? *ahem* Cheer up sleeeeeeeeeepy Jean, oh what can it mean

10:19 pm

Jacula

Jellen - I'll follow you and sing to you there, too.

10:19 pm

mrpresident

and jos, scroll back through the archives for clues

10:19 pm

Jellen

Hi, joshua

10:19 pm

joshuavorbis

monkees trivia - i once won a celebrity lookalike contest at an nfl game when i was said to look like mickey dolenz

10:19 pm

Jellen

back soon :-)

10:20 pm

Jacula

What did you get for winning that, josh?

10:20 pm

joshuavorbis

recognized while walking out to the parking lot

10:20 pm

lil*monkey

wow, joshua!!!!

10:21 pm

meliae

is the 9 a compound word?

10:21 pm

mrpresident

yes mel... a bigass compound

10:22 pm

Jacula

Yes - wide + wagg;y end of a lamb.

10:23 pm

meliae

doh found it

10:24 pm

Jacula

di8/5 was the hardest one to find for me.

10:24 pm

Jacula

2nd one, that is.

10:24 pm

Jacula

But my last word found was a plural. DOH!

10:25 pm

meliae

oh i found that one easy

10:25 pm

meliae

oh that one dont have it yet

10:25 pm

Jacula

Horses for courses and all that, Mel. In other words, we see what we are familiar with.

10:26 pm

Jacula

My last word was a revolving ro6.

10:26 pm

meliae

hmmm thinking

10:26 pm

Jacula

Helicopter blades.

10:27 pm

Jacula

I should have been familiar with that ro6, since Father Christmas flew right past our window on Xmas day in a ruddy great yellow Sea King helicopter.

10:31 pm

Jacula

MrP. Have you settled in your newest house now?

10:34 pm

Jacula

Interestng grid. It begins with 'excited activity' and end with a 'human trunk, possibly multilated'. Sounds like it represents a typical day in Babbleonia.

10:34 pm

stidmama

hello all! here to clue, but I see Jacula, so know I am not needed.

10:34 pm

stidmama

*lounging around looking decorative instead of useful*

10:34 pm

Jacula

Stid - stay! I'm about to go.

10:34 pm

meliae

ok i give on the di 7/8

10:34 pm

stidmama

really jacula?? but I don't smell that bad -- i took a shower!

10:34 pm

stidmama

di 7/8 first pair is two building blocks of matter

10:35 pm

Jacula

LOL, stid. You smell lovely, but it's 4.35am here.

10:35 pm

stidmama

oh, silly, me. the first 8 is two building blocks.

10:35 pm

stidmama

the 7 is a small sea critter with a calcium shell, used in gardens (it's the plural of the 6)

10:35 pm

meliae

i need the second one

10:36 pm

Jacula

di7/36 = plural of the di6.24

10:36 pm

stidmama

and the last 8 was clued by BR earlier... let me think

10:36 pm

meliae

doh, silly plurals get me every time

10:37 pm

Jellen

Hello again...

10:37 pm

stidmama

looks like spanish for god (singular) + vowel + letter after b + ending that means "practice of"

10:37 pm

stidmama

hey jellen --- I hope you can do a better job cluing that second di 8

10:38 pm

stidmama

did you survive your weekend in the boonies?

10:38 pm

Jacula

di8 = in the botany world is being sexually distinct, but it looks like a religious word re dieoceses etc.

10:38 pm

Jellen

Nope, don't think so!

10:38 pm

Jellen

Yes, I survived...

10:39 pm

Jacula

di8 (last one) = di + ring + anagram of 'mices'.

10:39 pm

Jellen

Although I'm happy they don't expect more than one visit a year!

10:40 pm

meliae

yay got it, thank you

10:40 pm

stidmama

di 8 == add a female deer: d**; and constructive criti****

10:40 pm

Jacula

Oh, don't start singing that 'I Willl Suvive' song. I hate it!

10:40 pm

stidmama

that was BR's clues... LOL

10:40 pm

stidmama

that is how I feel about my inlaws... nice people, but they haven't gone out of their way to either visit here or invite us there for so long... it's hard on the children of course, but easier on me.

10:41 pm

Jacula

Families are hard work, aren't they?

10:41 pm

stidmama

how's tim doing, jellen?

10:42 pm

Jacula

You can choose your friends, but you can't....

10:42 pm

stidmama

yes, jacula, they are. especially the extended ones. especially when one grew up so far from any family that there is no experience with it.

10:42 pm

Jacula

I know, stid. ((HUGS))

10:43 pm

stidmama

I have no idea how to handle the families where everyone is all on top of each other. they make me nervous.

10:43 pm

Jellen

Tim is fine...being a poot, though...

10:43 pm

stidmama

LOL (((hugs Jac)))

10:43 pm

stidmama

oh oh... *stern mama look at tim*

10:43 pm

Jellen

Just kidding...he's watching me...

10:43 pm

Jacula

Stid - is your story still being told. If so, can I get the latest link to it, pleae?

10:43 pm

stidmama

he's not eating all your truffles again?

10:44 pm

Jellen

Eating stinky Pringles...

10:44 pm

stidmama

I haven't done anything on the story in about six months. maybe eight. Have ideas, but no time when inspired. still, when I manage to do more... babblestory.com

10:44 pm

Jacula

Thanks, stid.

10:44 pm

stidmama

mmm. pringles... I can still eat the original version!

10:45 pm

Jellen

brb...

10:46 pm

Jacula

stid - be sure not to end up with an office full of ideas on paper like I have after about 12 years!

10:46 pm

stidmama

anyone else need clues?

10:47 pm

stidmama

today the fog never lifted. outside, or in my head, apparently... completely forgot the kid's taekwondo lesson!

10:47 pm

stidmama

oh no, jac-- I never write things down! LOL the ideas are lost to the winds of memory...

10:47 pm

Jacula

I look at some of them now and think, 'What?' I should have written then when I knew 'what'.

10:48 pm

stidmama

I am hoping to be well enough tomorrow to finish my schoolwork AND watch the inauguration AND show up in time for the kid's rehearsal AND either do those new year's cards or write for fun. *sigh* it stinks to be sick.

10:49 pm

Jacula

Stid - you mean you don't have the bedside notebook upon which is written such stuff as 'gries do huckdum abd bekms kng'?

10:49 pm

stidmama

um, I don't have a bedside table or lamp!

10:49 pm

stidmama

LOL huckdum...

10:49 pm

Jacula

That's what writing in the dark and in your sleep produces, btw.

10:50 pm

Jacula

Apparently, it also produces me coming down, switching computer back on and typing drivel.

10:50 pm

phandmd

may I have a clue for AB 5/14?

10:50 pm

stidmama

aha! LOL

10:50 pm

stidmama

A + what you do to water for tea

10:50 pm

stidmama

(((phand))) how are you and your daughter today? thought about you so much.

10:51 pm

phandmd

thnx, Stidmama

10:51 pm

phandmd

thanks, we are ok, sad, but healing our hearts by searching for a new rescue dog to adopt.

10:52 pm

stidmama

that is a lovely picture of comet and your family

10:52 pm

Jacula

ab5/14 = a + make water very, very hot in a kettle.

10:52 pm

stidmama

good for you.

10:52 pm

phandmd

my new icon is an old pic of my kids with the dog during a fall hike at sugarloaf mountain. it was taken in 2002

10:52 pm

phandmd

oh, thanks, wasn't sure you new

10:52 pm

Jacula

phan - was it you I read about much, much earlier, who had had a beloved dog run over and daughter saw it happen?

10:53 pm

phandmd

yes, except it wasn't the daughter but her friend that saw it happen

10:53 pm

Jacula

If so, very sorry to hear that and it was a hard lesson for a youngster to learn about keeping a dog on a leash.

10:54 pm

phandmd

yes, it is. I tried to tell her numerous times. She said he just took off before she could get the leash on him.

10:54 pm

phandmd

I suppose that is my fault, we always put it on him on the front porch. Should have been done inside.

10:55 pm

stidmama

and dogs will do that, phand -- we live in a very rural area. Usually it is safe to just let Lucky out -- we don't even have a fence yard -- and call him back in a couple minutes. But every once in a while he just goes after something.

10:55 pm

Jacula

I guess, if she was in a car, she shoul now put the leash on before opening the door. If she walked dog there, he should have been on a leash (we call it on a lead in UK, btw) anyway.

10:56 pm

phandmd

I live on a very quiet street too, go figure

10:56 pm

Jacula

But it's happened now, nothing to be done about it. Try not to stress too much. xx

10:57 pm

Jellen

So sorry, phandmd...

10:57 pm

Jacula

Dogs just dash at times.

10:57 pm

phandmd

thank you, Jellen

10:57 pm

stidmama

speaking of dogs and "outside" ... *watching too big for house dog pacing back and forth*

10:57 pm

Jacula

No one's fault really,other than the dog's mistake.

10:58 pm

stidmama

tom says he's been outside recently... LOL never enough!

10:58 pm

stidmama

so, next clue?

10:58 pm

phandmd

well, yes, especially since he ran out to the street between our cars in the driveway, so driver couldn't see him until she hit him.

10:59 pm

phandmd

I do think though she must have been driving too fast based on where his body was and where her vehicle stopped. but then there were no skid marks so, now that I think of it maybe I am wrong

10:59 pm

phandmd

Stid, I could use the AR 5 pls

11:00 pm

Jellen

ar + robotic ending

11:00 pm

Jacula

Phan - probably best not to dwell on it too much.

11:00 pm

stidmama

ar 5 looks babblety -- ar + hemorrh***

11:00 pm

phandmd

thnx, Jellen

11:00 pm

stidmama

jellen was too fast! *watching smoke clear slowly*

11:00 pm

phandmd

Oh, I hate when they lift their ugly heads

11:01 pm

Jacula

It was mostly the dog's error, Phan.

11:01 pm

stidmama

LOL phand! *small babblets and gremlins making appearance*

11:01 pm

phandmd

yes, it was. The nice thing is at least he had a long life, he was 12.

11:02 pm

Jacula

That's something then, Phan. xx

11:02 pm

phandmd

we take what we can get.

11:03 pm

stidmama

did anyone here ever do lincoln-douglas debate in high school? or college?

11:03 pm

phandmd

I am hoping to hear back about this dog: http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displ
aypet.cgi?petid=12188718 and I put in an application in for this one: http://www.tails-of-hope.org/animals/d
etail?AnimalID=1150372

11:03 pm

stidmama

I know, it's completely off topic...

11:04 pm

Jellen

I

11:04 pm

stidmama

oh, my heart just melted when I saw snickers!

11:04 pm

Jellen

I've judged L-D debate, stid...

11:04 pm

Jacula

I type that so easily, yet I've still not got oer having to take my almost 18 year old dog, who was a member of the famil, to be put to sleep. He originally a puppy stray who was thrown out of a car onto a busy road in August, presumably so the owners could go on holiday

11:04 pm

phandmd

she does look sweet doesn't she

11:05 pm

stidmama

rofl at the description of the lab, though... i suppose that is an important consideration. *sad look*

11:05 pm

phandmd

Oh wow, Jacula, how awful. I am glad that you were able to give him a wonderfully full life. God bless you.

11:06 pm

phandmd

Yes. He looks smart to me too.

11:06 pm

stidmama

okay -- so my son, in the one round I was able to view on friday was speaking SO FAST in his affirmative opening speech that even I, his mother, couldn't understand, let alone follow. I assume it's worse for judges.

11:06 pm

phandmd

I can't wait to meet them. Hope it can be real soon.

11:06 pm

stidmama

good for you jac. what a lucky fellow your pup was!

11:06 pm

Jacula

Over a decade on, I now feel ready to say Hello to another dog. However, I have custody of a daughter-brought-in cat who thinks, nay, KNOWS, he's a tiger and hates dogs.

11:06 pm

phandmd

Was he nervous Stid.

11:07 pm

phandmd

that's funny, Jacula. Isn't it funny how cats can be? I love them.

11:07 pm

stidmama

it seems to be a common problem with the debaters (I have judged some public forum and student congress)... is there any way to convince a teen to remove a bit of material?

11:07 pm

stidmama

no, not nervous so much as trying to cram ten minutes' worth of speechifying into four.

11:07 pm

Jellen

First affirmative speeches shouldn't be fast, stid, since they're prewritten and timed...

11:07 pm

phandmd

When I lost my childhood cat of 19/20 years, it took me 9 years to get another one.

11:08 pm

Jellen

I guess it depends upon what the judges put up with...

11:08 pm

Jacula

phan - I can see you're a sensitive soul like me.

11:09 pm

stidmama

as much as I dearly love Lucky... I have already decided no more critters once he has had enough of this life. I would love to be able to put on clean clothes and reach the car without looking like the bottom of a kennel.

11:09 pm

phandmd

yes, I wouldn't be looking for another dog if it weren't for the kids. They are driving me, but now I actually feel like it is the right thing to do.

11:09 pm

Jellen

I became disgusted with policy debate and debaters because of their speed and increased informality...I won't judge them any more...

11:09 pm

stidmama

that's what I thought, jellen -- I know that new concepts can't be added later on, I think that is why they try to cram so much into the first aff. but it seems counterproductive.

11:10 pm

Jacula

Cat's a male cat - but I still keep my female cat's ashes beside me on a bookshelf, next to the armchair she liked to sit on. She arrived just aftre my dog's death and he told me her liked her.

11:11 pm

stidmama

I am considering looking at sitting in on a few individual events, and then judging those next year. that's what i did in high school -- dramatic interpretation and improv.

11:11 pm

phandmd

aww, how nice.

11:11 pm

stidmama

I think I would be able to judge those better. I am not myself a "complex thinker"

11:11 pm

Jellen

I love to judge extemporaneous speaking...

11:12 pm

Jacula

The only photo ever taken of the 2 cats close together in the house, was taken by my daughter, who took the pic because it had never been seen before. That was the day the female cat died.

11:13 pm

phandmd

that's weird. and sad

11:14 pm

Jacula

The male cat we still have, although his friendly first advance had been blown away, was missing hi Mum. Our female cat didn't want to BE his Mum, but ended up being so in a 'keep your distance' kind of way. He pined for ages after she died.

11:14 pm

Jacula

He looks to me now to be his Mum.

11:14 pm

stidmama

extemp is the one where they get a bit of extra time to prepare?

stidmama

amazing how much critters de-anthropomorphize us! I am sure Lucky thinks I am just the pack leader.

11:15 pm

Jacula

..And just like most sons, he is a bloody nuisance!

11:15 pm

Jellen

The competitor draws a current events topic, and has 30 minutes to prepare a 5 to 7 minute speech...

11:16 pm

phandmd

he must be related to my son!

11:16 pm

stidmama

yes, that one looks quite interesting!

11:16 pm

stidmama

i get lucky and stidkid#2 mixed up ALL the time! galoots, both of them.

11:17 pm

Jacula

Phan - it's in the newborn son handbook, chapter 5, How To Be A Bloody Nuisance.

11:17 pm

Jellen

My male cat can be quite the nuisance...he wants to be close (on my lap) much of the time...

11:18 pm

phandmd

ha! I think you are right!

11:18 pm

stidmama

that must be difficult when you are sitting there with the laptop there! *looking at icon suspiciously*

11:18 pm

Jacula

Might be better than chapter 1 of the newborn daughters handbook - how to flutter your eyelashes, fell Daddy with one blow and empty his wallet forever.

11:18 pm

phandmd

snort!

11:19 pm

Jellen

He settles for draping himself over one of my arms...

11:19 pm

jmcnrick

hi all a little drunk and happy about the new age

11:19 pm

stidmama

the stidkid did impromptu one time and chose the recent OJ drama in sin city... he thought maybe he was an aging rock star! rofl no idea what sport or the previous history, even though it had been in the news a lot.

11:19 pm

Jellen

Hi, jmc!

11:20 pm

stidmama

11:20 pm

stidmama

though tom and I usually watch the inauguration, somehow this particular one seems to be so important.

11:20 pm

Jacula

assumes phan's snort post either means he'sa victim or thinks he'll never become one.

11:20 pm

Jellen

What's the schedule for tomorrow?

11:21 pm

jmcnrick

funny you look older than 10 yars old stidmama

phandmd

11:21 pm

Jacula

Oops. I meant 'she' re Phan.

11:21 pm

stidmama

you think, jmc? maybe it's the granny glasses. though i think parenting teens will age a woman considerably too...

11:22 pm

Jacula

Was I wrong, phan?

11:22 pm

jmcnrick

I do not worship Obama (he is not good on the war bad peace good issue) but I think he is a start in the right direction

11:22 pm

stidmama

i am not sure what the schedule is exactly, though the designated time for handing over the government is noon on the east coast

11:22 pm

phandmd

Oh, know, I thought it was funny

11:22 pm

jmcnrick

no doubt stidmama it is the glasses
