I don't know what my dauther's school is teaching them, but the teacher said that Europe and Asia are one continent now and is called Eurasia (it's in the grid)
1:20 am
VolleymomDee
I can't even begin to imagine taking a geography test now
1:20 am
Hugabugs
did I miss something?
1:20 am

i thought thats what is is called
1:20 am
Andree
think so hugs
1:20 am
lynxxx
I wonder why Africa isn't included as well
1:20 am
jillibus
well, they are connected
1:20 am
Hugabugs
when did it change?
1:21 am
VolleymomDee
I think here, they are still considered separate, so confused
1:21 am
mrpresident
huga, that is right, but only certain parts are eurasia
1:21 am
Hugabugs
oh, and it's not South America and North America now... it's the Americas
1:22 am
jillibus
I think I learned the Ural Mountains were considered the boundary between Europe and Asia
1:22 am
Hugabugs
I know that some parts of Europe and Asia are called Eurasia... but thought that they are two separate continents
1:22 am
mrpresident
yes jilli
1:22 am
Andree
they are sep. countries but 1 continent, the words eurasia and australasia are used especially on our news channels all the time
1:22 am
VolleymomDee
re 6 x 3
1:22 am
Hugabugs
that's what I learned in school so many moons ago
1:23 am
Hugabugs
Andree... Europe and Asia are made up of a slew of countries
1:23 am
mrpresident
they are separate continents.... we are the australiasian region
1:24 am
Hugabugs
but Australia/NZ is still a separate continent on it's own, right?
1:24 am
mrpresident
yes it is
1:25 am
mrpresident
we are not asia, although the region is referred to as australasia
1:25 am
Hugabugs
When I asked the teacher when this had changed, he said there are only 5 Olympic rings that represent the 5 continents... I don't ever recall any Olympians coming from the Arctic or Antartica
1:25 am
jillibus
what bugs me is the name changes of cities, and particularly the spelling change of Chinese to Pinyin, so that the city of my birth went from Peking to Beijing. At least Shanghai and Hong Kong stayed the same.
1:26 am
mrpresident
he said there are only 5 continents??
1:26 am
Andree
that bugs me too, it makes what little school geography i remember ossolete
1:26 am
VolleymomDee
I thot there were 7
1:27 am
Hugabugs
Yep - Australia, Eurasia, the Americas, Arctic and Antartic
1:27 am
mrpresident
there are 7!
1:27 am
jillibus
Of course, Peking has been through many changes; from Pekin to Peking to Beiping, back to Peking, now Beijing.
1:27 am
VolleymomDee
that teacher is an idiot
1:27 am
Hugabugs
my thoughts exactly Dee
1:27 am
VolleymomDee
do you have a department head at her school?
1:28 am
Hugabugs
not that I'm aware of...
1:28 am
mrpresident
huga, that is sad... report this to the department of education
1:28 am
VolleymomDee
I would be having a chat with someone else
1:28 am
Andree
i don't think the olympic rings include arctic and antarctic
1:28 am
flosey
wonder what geography books they're using
1:29 am
Hugabugs
Andree, I don't think so either, I thought they represented the 5 continents that participate
1:29 am
VolleymomDee
absolutely true hug
1:30 am
Hugabugs
phew .... I thought I had missed a world change somewhere along the line

3:13 am
jillibus

3:14 am
jillibus
I have to go to bed!
3:15 am
jillibus

3:17 am
jillibus

3:18 am
Andree

3:18 am
Haz1558
Hello, jilibus, the chat log seems to be eating up messages.
3:18 am
jillibus
that's worrisome
3:18 am
jillibus
hello haz -- what do you mean?
3:19 am
kje
i saw sprite in the afternoon just a couple days ago and she was fine
3:19 am
Haz1558
Good morning/evening all. jillibus, I posted a message to you a minute or two ago and it got swallowed up. It was really just to say goodnight.
3:20 am
jillibus
oh good! just wondering why she hasn't been updating the icon themes
3:20 am
kje
she has been busy with the new puppy was the latest news I have... maybe drop her a note jilli
3:20 am
jillibus
well, thanks, Haz -- strange that it vanished
3:21 am
jillibus
whee, got the th9!
3:21 am
jillibus
(with Lickety's help, of course)
3:21 am
Haz1558
I'm getting red boxes as well - word couldn't be added. I haven't seen sprite for a few days but I know that she's busy with the puppy.
3:22 am
Andree
when i lose my messages i usually find them under "was not found in the dictionary" lol
3:22 am
jillibus
I know what you mean, andree! Doesn't happen so much with Expert
3:23 am
Andree
fi7/44 please
3:23 am
kje
fi7 - a crack
3:24 am
Haz1558
Is it a word that means a crack, as in a rock?
3:24 am
kje
or in my world, in skin
3:24 am
Haz1558
Yes, painful when it's in that sense.
3:25 am
Andree
thx kje and haz
3:25 am
kje
debating about whether to give in to being awake, go make my coffee, and start the day.... or lie here in bed and babble
3:26 am
jillibus
what time is it for you, kje?
3:26 am
jillibus
lie in bed and babble ;)
3:27 am
kje
LOL - yep, clearly I haven't moved yet
3:27 am
KatieMcG
I'm lying in bed babbling
3:27 am
Andree
ugh, go back to sleep
3:27 am
KatieMcG
Hi Kje :-)
3:27 am
jillibus

3:27 am
jillibus
hi katie
3:28 am
kje

3:28 am
KatieMcG
Hi Jilli
3:29 am
jillibus

3:30 am
KatieMcG
Hi Andree, you well?
3:30 am
Andree

3:30 am
jillibus
Now I've been through Lickety's list once and it's time for bed. 53 left. Night all and happy babbling!
3:31 am
Haz1558
Good night, jillibus, sleep well.
3:31 am
KatieMcG

3:39 am
Andree
ag5/14 not awent please
3:41 am
Haz1558

3:42 am
Haz1558
You're welcome, Andree.
3:47 am
KatieMcG
i'm off to get some work done, see you all soon
3:47 am

Haz1558
Good morning, bf.
4:14 am
FMitch
Morning Haz and bf and Andree, just having a look to see the size of the grid.
4:15 am
Haz1558
Good morning, FM. A nice size and some interesting words so far.
4:15 am
FMitch
Was hoping it might have been a tad smaller, haven't done the last two :(
4:15 am
Haz1558
You'll be getting put in the box labelled 'lapsed babblers' if you're not careful.
4:16 am
Andree
i hope that every working day fm
4:17 am
FMitch
Aparently it is going to be 20 degress today yay!!!
4:17 am
Haz1558
It was certainly unexpectedly warm here yesterday. It would nearly tempt you out of winter clothes.
4:17 am
KatieMcG
morning everyone
4:18 am
Haz1558
Good morning again, Katie.
4:18 am
FMitch
Nearly is the word Haz, Morning Katie.
4:18 am
KatieMcG
i was in a dress and little cardy yesterday
4:18 am
Haz1558
We're far too wise to do anything drastic when it comes to clothes removal.
4:19 am
FMitch
It is a beautiful morning (already been out and about) but an now chained to the desk.
4:19 am
Andree
it was 20degrees here today and i was cold, had to wear a jumper
4:19 am
FMitch
Steady on Katie :)
4:20 am
Haz1558
I hope you had your thermal vest on underneath, Katie? Can't take chances.
4:20 am
FMitch
Andre I love your pic btw, I aspire to look that good now never mind in a few years time!
4:20 am
Andree
time for winter clothes here
4:21 am
KatieMcG
I did have tights on lol
4:21 am
Haz1558
We'll ship ours down to you, Andree. ' Dull clothes, often worn.' Would I make a good saleswoman?
4:21 am
Andree
thxs fmitch, i don't feel my age thats the main thing
4:21 am
FMitch
Sensible girl Katie. It is still only April after all :)
4:21 am
Marc Freeman
Good morning need a clue for the first ta5/10, please?
4:21 am
Haz1558
I'm glad t ohear it, Katie. Exposed limbs lead to bronchitis. Ask any old wife.
4:22 am
Andree
actually we could have something going here as we all have opposite seasons we could do babble clothes swap!!!
4:22 am
FMitch
LOL Haz you left yourself wide open there for a joke but I won't.
4:23 am
Haz1558
I'm grateful!
4:23 am
Haz1558
Sorry, Marc, haven't got the list yet so not sure which is the first ta5/10
4:23 am
FMitch
Can't help you Marc, haven't started the grid yet.
4:24 am
KatieMcG
I don't have any ta5/10s yet
4:24 am
FMitch
lol Andree
4:24 am
Haz1558
The first one I have adds a vowel to the end of the road-making activity (ta4/4)
4:24 am
Marc Freeman
The second is the name of a tv dog if you change the first letter
4:25 am
Haz1558
In that case, it probably is the one I've just clued.
4:25 am
FMitch
As much as I would love to stay and chat I really need to get back to work ... can you tell how keen I am to rush off?
4:25 am
Marc Freeman
got it thanks
4:25 am
Haz1558
That's good, Marc.
4:26 am
Haz1558
I can hear the sound of dragging feet and the straining of the wild horses from here, FM.
4:26 am
Marc Freeman
tarsis
4:26 am
Marc Freeman
oops
4:26 am
Andree
nice to see you anyway fm
4:26 am
Haz1558
Marc, try another vowel instead on the end.
4:27 am
Haz1558
Maybe see you later, FM.
4:27 am
Andree
and plural marc
4:27 am
FMitch
Haven't gone yet, just looking for an excuse to stay a little bit longer *feels a song coming on*
4:27 am
Marc Freeman

4:28 am
Marc Freeman

4:28 am
Haz1558
'Staaaaaaaaaaay, just a little bit longer. please please please etc etc'

4:28 am
FMitch
PB for Marc :)
4:29 am
FMitch
I was listening/watching tracks on youtube last night (talking of songs) and lost track of tie. Looked at the clock and it was 1.30am - tad tired this a.m.
4:30 am
Marc Freeman
What is PB?
4:30 am
joshuavorbis
helloooooo - back to chip away at my last 70
4:30 am
Haz1558
And did you find the tie?
4:30 am
lynxxx
Hello, back. Hi Haz & FM
4:30 am
Haz1558
Another one bites the dust. josh to the PB!
4:31 am
Haz1558
Penalty box, Marc, the place of punishment for those who transgress in putting grid words into the log.
4:31 am
joshuavorbis
holy aorta, batman - off i go
4:31 am
FMitch
Hi jos, long time no see.
PB = penalty box Marc
Lynxx hi there :)
4:31 am
Haz1558
Good evening, lynxxx.
4:32 am
Haz1558
FM may be tired, but she's keeping up well with the answers to the questions.
4:32 am
FMitch
Darn, the phone is summoning me, TTFN
4:32 am
Andree
hi lynxxx and josh
4:33 am
Andree
lynxxx just arranging with has and mitch to send our summer clothes to them and get their winter ones, recycling at its best!!1
4:34 am
Haz1558
Believe me, we seem to spend so many months in our winter woollies, we're pretty sick of them by the time summer comes.
4:34 am
lynxxx
could be interesting
4:35 am
KatieMcG
last summer was so bad I wore my winter suits all year
4:35 am
Haz1558
It couldn't be as bad this summer, could it?
4:36 am
KatieMcG
Hi Lynxxx, I hope not Haz
4:37 am
Haz1558
I hope not. We haven't got any holidays arranged for respite from the rain.
4:37 am
Marc Freeman
th9?
4:38 am
Haz1558
th9 - the sort of treatments offered by health or beauty professionals.
4:39 am
Haz1558
You're welcome.
4:39 am
Marc Freeman
Got it thanks
4:39 am
Haz1558
That's good, Marc.
4:40 am
lynxxx
Bedroom finished Haz?
4:42 am
Haz1558
A sore subject, lynxxx. The wallpapering is done as far as I can do it - we're waiting for doors to be hung on the fitted wardrobes. The Sistine Chapel ceiling was painted in less time.
4:42 am
KatieMcG
we are going to the Dom Rep in 2 1/2 weeks :-)
4:42 am
Haz1558
However, it's livable in and once the doors are hung and carpet fitted, it shouldn't take long to be complete.
4:43 am
Haz1558
I've always hated you, Katie.
4:43 am
lynxxx
v nice Katie
4:43 am
Haz1558
I've never said it before, but honesty is the best policy.
4:43 am
lynxxx
wallpapering as well! no end to your talents
4:44 am
lynxxx
Must be time for another trip for you Haz
4:44 am
KatieMcG
it's for our anniversary
4:44 am
Haz1558
I've done the wallpapering for years, I used to help my dad and quite enjoy it. I'm hopeless at painting (except for skirting boards which take no talent)
4:45 am
KatieMcG
I like painting but can't wallpaper
4:45 am
Andree
lucky katie, think i hate you too
4:45 am
Haz1558
That's no excuse, Katie. You have an anniversary every year. You can't be hopping off to places abroad just because you've been married for another year.
4:46 am
KatieMcG
we should get together as a team
4:46 am
lynxxx
hang about...skirting boards are my forte! (I like to support my chiropractor)
4:46 am
Haz1558
Good grief, I've been married for nearly 27 years. At your rate of going I'd have been round the world 15 times by now.
4:47 am
KatieMcG
Start things the way you mean to go on Haz :-)
4:47 am
Andree
sp6/24 before what we do with our money please
4:48 am
joshuavorbis
crashing - good luck babblers
4:48 am
KatieMcG
I'm having none of this paper nonsense either, we are buying a house!
4:48 am
Haz1558
sp6/24 - a botanical word, a bract surrounding a flower cluster.
4:48 am
Haz1558
Or s plus the garden walk, finishing with a vowel
4:48 am
KatieMcG
bye josh
4:49 am
Haz1558
Bye josh.
4:49 am
Haz1558
You're welcome.
4:49 am
Andree
my kids have weekends away for their anniversaries as i mind their kids but much as i love my grand kids i'm glad they don't take o/seas trips
4:49 am
Haz1558
So, are you going to be moving house, Katie?
4:50 am
Haz1558
Yes, Andree, I imagine the novelty would wear off if you had to have them for extended periods.
4:51 am
Andree
with 3 different families to babysit for, its enough
4:51 am
reparteena
Greetings Babblers! How's the grid? I was hoping for something around 120 today!!!
4:51 am
lynxxx
s**pies are not valid!
4:51 am
KatieMcG
we are buying a second one, long story but I will stay in it on week nights and come home for weekends
4:51 am
lynxxx
hi Repartee
4:52 am
Haz1558
See you later, Andree.
4:52 am
reparteena
Hey there lynxxx!
4:52 am
Haz1558
Hello reparteena. It's a nice grid, I think.
4:52 am
reparteena
Hey Haz! Great!
4:53 am
Haz1558
And where will the pets live, Katie?
4:53 am
KatieMcG
We are keeping the cats in Tamworth as the other house will just be a crash pad. The office is moving and I can't face driving 120 miles a day and doing an MA at the same time
4:54 am
KatieMcG
Hubby will come down in the week as well sometimes and if it looks like it's not working out we will just rent it out
4:54 am
Haz1558
No, I can see your point. A chauffeur so that you can do your work in the back of the car?
4:55 am
lynxxx
Wise move Katie, and good investment. And you be able to leave your work behind well and truly
4:56 am
Haz1558
And babble? You've thought about the babble implications?
4:56 am
KatieMcG
we have an offer in on one at the moment but it's a repossession so won't know we have actually got it for sure until it has been advertised in the paper but we are at Solicitors with it
4:57 am
KatieMcG
babble will be taken via laptop, and will probably get more attention as I avoid MA work lol
4:57 am
Haz1558
I hope you get it sorted out soon. At least with a repossession you don't get caught up in a long chain.
4:57 am
KatieMcG
Can also go home at lunchtime and leave later in the morning so more chances present themselves
4:58 am
Haz1558
Good to know that you've given babble due consideration.
4:58 am
KatieMcG
It is only 3 years old but needs completely repainting and recarpeting. It smells so badly of smoke but we can sort that out with a good airing
4:59 am
herinfernallady
hi
4:59 am
Haz1558
Cigarette smoke or from a fire?
4:59 am
Haz1558
If you're repainting anyway, that will help to get rid of the smell.
5:00 am
KatieMcG
from cigarettes, it was owned by a landlord and the tenants smoked really badly, the carpet in the main bedroom is covered with fag burns
5:00 am
Haz1558
Hello herin.
5:00 am
KatieMcG
This is our 12th day of not smoking and I'm so glad we never smoked in the house the smell is awful
5:01 am

It clings so badly to everything. I don't think smokers realise how strong the smell is.
5:02 am
herinfernallady
Hi back Sorry. Katie what ever you do you will need to follow the room cleaning tips on that URL before repainting other wise the ghastly stuff,like mould seeps through
5:02 am
KatieMcG
I've got to the stage I can smell it on my friends who smoke
5:02 am
KatieMcG
Thank's herin will look at it now
5:03 am
Haz1558
Your nose is coming alive again, Katie!
5:03 am
herinfernallady
Also when cleaning ceilings and high spots i use a new *out of the packet new* squeesie mop. Had to repaint my old unit as it was stinky
5:04 am
herinfernallady
Sorry had to chuck in my 2 cents
5:08 am
KatieMcG
thank's herin that's really useful
5:08 am
herinfernallady
I use vinegar and baking soda on the oven and as a paste on the shower glass in a sock
5:08 am
herinfernallady
stocking end
5:11 am
KatieMcG
we are throwing out the carpets through out the house but the walls tip is really useful
5:12 am
herinfernallady
I hate using chemicals. I use Method cleaners. I do bleach the loo *that is a given* and we borrowed the b.fs mum steam mop which is great
5:12 am
KatieMcG
I'd better go and get on with something. See you all soon x
5:12 am

bbiab - going to go find food
6:10 am
flosey
oops, right hand in wrong position!
6:10 am
Trifioso
pretty much, yeah. blessing it wasn't yesterday though, that would have made for some nasty marathon running!
6:10 am
Trifioso
flosey, have you been on that roller coaster?
6:11 am
flosey
no Trif, have never been on one - heights bother me
6:11 am
flosey
daughter lived on 22nd floor condo, I couldn't go out on balcony
6:11 am
Trifioso
I think maybe roller coasters bother me. I go if the kids want to, but they are not my fave things. At all.
6:13 am
flosey
I went on some airplanes that went up and down and around, got off and staggered to bathroom - you'd have sworn I was a 13 year old drunk!
6:13 am
Trifioso
oh dear! don't envy you that!!!
6:13 am
flosey
have avoided amusement parks since
6:14 am
Trifioso
unamusement parks
6:14 am
flosey
my kids love them though
6:14 am
flosey
and I'm sure sons have been on this one
6:15 am
Trifioso
my oldest daughter adores them - the higher and faster the better. where do these kids come from, eh?
6:15 am
flosey
I wouldn't even be able to watch them
6:15 am
bichon
Amusement parks rides like roller coasters don't mix with me. I am dreading the day my grandchildren want me to take them on one
6:16 am
Trifioso
I can't, just absolutely can NOT do rides that spin. In any way.
6:16 am
flosey
lol, grandsons will just have to get their parents to take them, I could not
6:17 am
flosey
went on a ferris wheel once - was very glad to get off
6:17 am
Eva
when I was about 5 my mother and I went on one of the tamest rides-the spinning teacups, and I cried the whole time. Never gone on a ride since then. Am prone to vertigo, so like to keep my feet on stable ground.
6:17 am
Eva
send the granchildren on by themselves and wave madly from the ground
6:18 am
Trifioso
I am getting head spins just thinking about this. quick, let's talk gardening, or sewing, or something less nauseating
6:18 am
bichon
I get vertigo very easily. I don't do boat rides
6:18 am
flosey
gladly Trif, me too
6:18 am
flosey
sprouts are about 4 - 5" high - almost ready to be planted outside
6:19 am
Eva
Okay. I cleared out two of the raised vegetable beds yesterday. Made me believe that spring is actually here, despite ethe fact that this morning it is raining and very cold.
6:19 am
Trifioso
what kind? actual brussel sprouts?
6:19 am
Trifioso
are you zone 6, eva?
6:19 am
flosey
sprouts are various vegetables and also flowers
6:19 am
Eva
somewhere between 5 and 6
6:20 am
Trifioso
wow!!! do you have a greenhouse?
6:20 am
flosey
love sweet peas and have lots to put along fence that I see from my office and kitchen
6:21 am
Trifioso
oh, I love ours too! I don't have any here at the house, but my mom has a teeny summer cottage about 20 miles from here, and there are loads there
6:21 am
flosey
no, neighbour is sprouting seeds for me in a trailer and has been putting the boxes outside during the sunny days
6:21 am
Eva
although with global warming that is changing. We just have a very short growing season, but this year I am planning on building littel plastic greenhouses over the beds to extend the growing season. I'm sorry-actually we are between 4 and 5, not 5 and 6.
6:21 am
Scrabbler
I am zone 4-5 so cannot plant much until the first week of June. Good morning all!

Quad bikes, they must wreck the dunes and disrupt the wildlife.
12:31 pm
Atalante

12:31 pm
Kallia

12:35 pm
Atalante
I agree ... but then you have issues such "young people" needing recreation places in seaside rural areas. There really can be nothing to do, and it's fun. It's trying to balance peoples want to play with keeping the environment safe (and I mean the actual environment and the environment of the people who live around the area)
12:36 pm
caitlyn
It is going to be a problem that will be around for a long time Ata, the same as the scrambler bikes are spoiling our mountains
12:37 pm
elder
Ata, a difficult balance. I still think my ideas are best. :)
12:37 pm
jacq

"eurasia" smack dab in the middle and it's not found in dictionary...sigh. no proper nouns, I know, but still....
12:37 pm
Atalante
absolutely. the mountains actually are having the worse time of it. especially the peak district, I think
12:37 pm
Dippnall
interested in your views - I live near the delamere forest and use it with the children I teach and love walking there - however, great tracts have been spoiled/ruined by quad and mountain bikes. They're pretty dangerous when you're out walking and they tear round a corner......
12:38 pm
Atalante
is it legal to be a quad bike psycho there?
12:38 pm
jacq
lol jeanne i tried that one about 5 times too

Mullins et al (2007) stated that 136,000 people in 2004 needed medical treatment for ATV related injuries in the US. Of these over 500 died, one third of which were children. Helmkamp et al (2008) found a 90% increase in ATV related hospitalisations over 2000 to 2004; 13% of those requiring long-term rehabilitation. The commonest injuries were fractures of the lower limbs, other fractures and intracranial injuries.

**Dancing through the chog**
3:46 pm
ChrissieDee
me too Uni
3:47 pm
jimmel
Yes, Uni, agreed....and the Brits took over on this grid as well! Just got fireworks, but some were confusing to find!
3:48 pm
ChrissieDee
congrats jimmel
3:48 pm

Congratulations Jimmel! This is a slog.
3:49 pm
lynxxx
hi Uniquity
3:49 pm
jimmel
thx, lynxxx..how is australia, besides dry?
3:49 pm
Uniquity
Ah, but as a Canadian all these "British" spellings are the norm for me.
3:50 pm
jimmel
Thx, Uni...one of the slowest for us recently...and you will find it "familiar," no doubt!
3:50 pm
lynxxx
no fires, no floods, lovely Autumn days - nothing to complain about except the lack of water
3:51 pm
jimmel
So glad that the trauma of last month is over!
3:51 pm
jimmel
Well, not over for victims, of course, but at least the perpetuation of the fires has stopped, hasn't it?
3:52 pm
jimmel
the grid is in your "favour," lynxxx and Uni..."colour" me envious of your Brit spellings today!
3:53 pm
lynxxx
Yes. We have just started the Royal Commission into the fires. Hopefully they can come up with some recommendations that will reduce the loss of lives and homes in future fire seasons
3:53 pm
jimmel
I certainly hope so...
3:53 pm
Uniquity
Ack. Why the quotation marks? I know they are not the norm in the US, but that makes you the exception to the rule!
3:54 pm
lynxxx
hello Ata!
3:54 pm
jimmel
(I lived in S. Africa, where they use the Queen's English!)
3:55 pm
Uniquity
Ata! Darling! Light of my e-life!
3:56 pm
jimmel
We Yanks have corrupted your spellings...and gone on to create a nation of poor spellers in general...trying Babble probably doesn't help!
3:56 pm
Atalante
Unnnniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!! <3<3
3:57 pm
Uniquity
Some Canadian schools are now allowing and recommending American spelling. It makes me furious. Slackers. That U won't kill you, but I might :D
3:57 pm
Atalante
Uni sounds so adorable in real life. Canadian accents are sooo cute
3:57 pm
Uniquity
Let the record show that Ata gave me two hearts!
3:57 pm
jimmel
Your accent must be very special for two hearts!
3:58 pm
ChrissieDee
noted - how cute
3:58 pm
Uniquity
Ne pas d'accents. I do have a bunch more cute vids to upload, I will try and remember to do that. Gotta get FM on google talk too..
3:58 pm
Atalante
check my youtube, Uni, just shoved 2 more vids up
3:59 pm
Uniquity
I must confess, I always pronounced Sily as siley, rather than silly based on spellings. Is that Canadian of me?
4:00 pm
oodleberry
ok I'm back
4:00 pm
jimmel
Off to create some kind of meal...would that be supper or dinner for you in the evening??
4:00 pm
Atalante
Probably! I only pronounce it as silly cos then "silly sily" sounds cool :P
4:01 pm
oodleberry
for some dinner is the noon day meal... and supper is evening's
4:01 pm
Uniquity
Supper. Dinner is a lunch, but I just never use the word dinner.
4:02 pm
Atalante
Lunch is lunch, supper is supper
4:02 pm
Uniquity
It makes sense for Silverclaw too...I just always had it in my head one way. Ooh, Wolverine commercial!
4:04 pm
jimmel
hmmm...then I guess I'll start supper! That was our families' term for the evening meal, too...somehow started saying we were going out for dinner.....Best luck finishing!
4:04 pm
Uniquity
Au revoir Jimmel!
4:05 pm
jimmel
Ciao! (okay, Cheers!)
4:05 pm

Whoops, me too. Shares chocolate covered biscuits with Lynxxx in PB.
4:33 pm
oodleberry
pfffft
4:33 pm
Uniquity
That hi4 is a babblet. Middle english word, probably.
4:33 pm
Atalante
ohhh *that* word
4:36 pm
sammysmom
i know someone who actually talks that way
4:37 pm
sammysmom
it is actually quite interesting to listen- a lot of the words that we think socially unacceptable are really old english
4:38 pm
lynxxx
why do they talk that way?
4:38 pm
Uniquity
Middle English is commonly maintained through "country" vernacular. My grandmother uses lots of words that most consider obsolete and incorrect but are really just middle english words.
4:39 pm
Atalante
and when you consider all the dialects of middle english and "pre-modern" english
4:39 pm
sammysmom
i grew up in maine- the yhoungest of a 5 generation household- between my family and their friends i picked up a lot of words- ... then there were the neighbors- could swear in italian when i was four
4:40 pm
sammysmom
mom said she couldn t remember if i was weaned on pasta fasul or gefiltefish
4:41 pm
oodleberry
hee hee hee sammys
4:43 pm
sammysmom
and we were so poor- but i didn t know it- had my first job at the age of ten and thought thats just the way things were supposed to be
4:45 pm
oodleberry
ok later folks
4:45 pm
sammysmom
ok oodle
4:45 pm
lynxxx
toodles oodles
4:47 pm
Atalante
I dislike this grid
4:49 pm
Uniquity
I dislike it as well. Although I dislike it with the help of the list.
4:49 pm
lynxxx
The words are bad - after you find them. I needed the list to do that though
4:49 pm
lynxxx
are - read aren't
4:51 pm
Atalante
list will appear shortly, I'm sure
4:51 pm
Magyk
i didn't get half way before I needed the list...makes me sad. :(
4:53 pm
Magyk
I'm still fairly new to the babbling world but I'm quite addicted. And the other babblers are so nice!

5:00 pm
Magyk
I'm a huge gg fan! I have the series. Makes me laugh!
5:00 pm
hurshy
hmm, nobody wants to talk anymore, maybe i really AM not nice
5:00 pm
lynxxx
wasn't that an afflication of the Queen of Hearts?
5:00 pm
hurshy
yes, i haven't bought it on dvd yet but it's still in syndication on abc family so i watch it along - have the series on my wishlist for later
5:01 pm
Atalante
just gazing blankly at the grid!
5:01 pm
hurshy

5:01 pm
Magyk
sorry Hurshy...I am looking at recipes on stumble for dinner while babbling. I get distracted easily. I'm trying to sell my season 1 and 2. I have had those for a few years and then received the series for Christmas.

Uni, you should snag an external to back up all your music. That was it's impossible to lose them. I had to do that after my computer crashed.
5:02 pm

Bonus dias ..
5:04 pm
Uniquity
We've got an external in the house and I back up every six months or so. A lot of my stuff is also backed up on CDs. I don't listen to current or new music very often, I am always scrounging up stuff from 1950-2000.
5:04 pm
Atalante
very sensible
5:04 pm

i'm a 60's music fanatic myself...some 70's.

My concentration is really from the late 60s/early 70s on, but I like a lot of stuff.
5:06 pm

Sensible. Lori would disagree that I ever be referred to as sensible.
5:06 pm

Interesting to find 20-somethings interested in music of my era ..

so go over and say hi and arrange for your cell phone to ring (use the alarm) and say that it's an important call you have been waiting for
5:35 pm
lil*monkey
i guess that's rude, but i wasn't sure what to do... I don't want to be buddies
5:35 pm
jmcnrick
sounds like my mother-in-law (except for the church pa4)
5:35 pm
wildcat17
thank her very much for the invites but that you're not available to socialize or whatever at this time
5:35 pm
lil*monkey

5:36 pm
wildcat17

5:42 pm
jmcnrick
episcopals aren't wesleyan
5:43 pm
jmcnrick

5:43 pm
jmcnrick
maybe she though you wanted to meet a nice man ;-)
5:43 pm

that was the clue given to me Scuba...hope it helps :)
7:43 pm

OH--woo-thanks!
7:47 pm
hurshy
it's kind of too bad once they get to the top ten or something they can't just keep them all and have them rack up points for ten weeks.
7:57 pm
hurshy
if matt doesn't go home i suppose the two that do might be kinda sorry they rooted for the judges to use their save... then again, it's obvious who the top 4 and top 3 are so maybe it doesn't really matter.
7:59 pm
hurshy
hey pam, i was just dancin with myself
7:59 pm
pam
whodo you think should join matt in the boot, hursh?
7:59 pm
Dorens
hi. big grid for a tired and slightly drunkie dorens
7:59 pm
hurshy
oh, well, the bottom 3 are lil, matt, and anoop. i don't know which of those will stay.
8:00 pm
pam
LOL, hursh ! I am watching because my nieces and brother are addicted, and even though I don't usually care, my nieces are important, LOL
8:00 pm
Dorens
hey pam. i almost typed doresn, too
8:00 pm
pam
I agree, hursh. I am OVER Lil
8:00 pm
pam
LOLOLOL, dor!
8:01 pm
hurshy
and then when it is down to adam, danny, allison, and kris - i think kris should go but then he's been impressing me more lately - but i worry allison might go - for some reason people aren't noticing her enough despite her amazing vocal power.
8:01 pm
hurshy
one even wonders if kris could out-edge danny, at this point, if he keeps being original. i mean he's very cute, which is obviously helping him.
8:02 pm
hurshy
but adam is clearly in a league of his own.
8:02 pm
pam
I liked Kris tonight, but he is not my fave
8:02 pm
pam
Adam doesn't "need" the win. Allison is amazing for 16
8:03 pm
hurshy
well, adam may not need it but it's kinda nice to see the best person win. last season was the first one that i saw where my pick actually won.
8:03 pm
pam
Danny is my question mark. I know I should like him more... Hard to be so tone deaf considering the show we are discussing, and my nieces can SING....
8:04 pm
pam
Yes, I understand what you mean about the best person....
8:04 pm
hurshy
i didn't follow it every season, but daughtry obviously should have won his, and melinda hers
8:05 pm
pam
I haven't followed it before. Heard my co-workers talking about it and watched a snippet. Not like this year, when I am watching

some of the seasons, i only watched the final two people. preferred bo bice to carrie underwood.
8:08 pm

season 3 was a complete mess, now that i look back at the rankings. i mean, fantasia was good, yes, but diana degarmo and jasmine trias as the next two? like musical cotton candy.
8:08 pm
pam
You are way more informed than I, hursh, LOL
8:08 pm
