3:01 am

rolin

the ultimate critic

3:02 am

westford

all that fame just went to his head

3:03 am

rolin

nah...if it was as simple as that i would have expected him to go off the rails when he was younger and just as famous

3:03 am

westford

middle aged crazies?

3:04 am

rolin

well what does a man do when he already has a red sportscar?..lol

3:04 am

westford

lol you said it

3:15 am

jillibus

Back again just to change my icon -- sorry, George, but I decided to do the local leaf because it's unusual. Stay tuned...

3:15 am

Haz1558

Poor George. Spurned by jillibus in favour of a leaf.

3:16 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening alll.

3:17 am

westford

hello haz I'm staying faithful

3:17 am

jillibus

Ah, here's Haz, to enjoy George before I reluctantly bid him farewell and tuck him into (my?) bed.

3:18 am

westford

shh jilli don't tell

3:18 am

Haz1558

Good for you westford. Thanks, jillibus for the last look. The episode of ER where he appeared for the last time was on here through the week.

3:18 am

westford

I swear I've never seen a man age so well

3:19 am

jillibus

I saw that one too, Haz

3:19 am

westford

you must be taking good care of him haz

3:19 am

Haz1558

He seemed to dominate the screen without having to say or do very much. Not that I'm biassed or anything.

3:20 am

Haz1558

Yes, Westford. He's always found solace in the cupboard under my stairs.

3:20 am

jillibus

from which he escapes and teleports to my house

3:20 am

Haz1558

He tells people about Lake Como but we all know the truth.

3:21 am

westford

do you let him out at night?

3:21 am

jillibus

what Haz doesn't know won't hurt her

3:21 am

Haz1558

He's free to come and go as he pleases, west.

3:21 am

Atalante

you mean he can't act, but looks pretty?

3:21 am

jillibus

see? see?

3:21 am

westford

you're so good to him haz

3:22 am

Haz1558

Poor man. So many deluded women in the world who think they have a relationship with him.

3:22 am

jillibus

he can act, and he has a brain too (a good one)

3:22 am

Haz1558

Of course he can act! But he doesn't look as though he's acting. That's why he's a good actor.

3:23 am

jillibus

he's no himbo

3:23 am

westford

ata's just pulling our chains

3:23 am

Haz1558

Good morning Ata!

3:23 am

westford

ooh jilli good word

3:23 am

jillibus

hi ata

3:24 am

westford

hi ata

3:24 am

jillibus

I wish I were the one who made it up, west

3:25 am

westford

did you hear trif's word..wasband for a husband who's no longer one

3:25 am

jillibus

good one!

3:26 am

Haz1558

Problem is, when I see it, I either see waistband or washstand. My brain plays tricks.

3:26 am

westford

maybe it needs a hyphen

3:27 am

jillibus

would hasbeend be better?

3:27 am

westford

that's good too

3:27 am

Haz1558

Hasbeen sounds good.

3:28 am

jillibus

you know how you can read words if the first and last letters are the right ones -- so that d has to stay at the end

3:28 am

Atalante

not like george, of course

3:29 am

jillibus

boo, ata

3:29 am

westford

george will never marry

3:29 am

Haz1558

Definitely not like George.

3:29 am

jillibus

he's never been a husband anyway

3:30 am

westford

he's saving himself

3:30 am

jillibus

ROFL!!!

3:33 am

Haz1558

Ata, is Hobbit back to normal again?

3:34 am

jillibus

so now I have to go to bed (really), so bye bye George -- I'll see you in my dreams, I hope

3:34 am

Haz1558

Good night, jillibus, sleep well. You could dream of much worse than George.

3:34 am

westford

bye jilli that would be a very nice dream

3:35 am

Haz1558

Just so long as you realise that, unlike me, George can only ever be in your dreams.

3:35 am

Atalante

oh yes, bouncing around like a maniac. we took her out to the pub when we all went for dinner last night. a bit of steak or two finished the healing process!

3:35 am

Haz1558

Not rubbing it in, or anything, just helping you to face reality gently. The therapist told me it was best.

3:36 am

Haz1558

Oh, good for her!

3:36 am

westford

I think it's so nice that you can bring your dogs

3:37 am

westford

what happened to Hobbit ata?

3:37 am

jillibus

What Haz doesn't know won't hurt her...

3:37 am

Atalante

she over-exhausted herself on a loooong walk

3:38 am

westford

glad she's okay then

3:38 am

Atalante

oh yes, it's a very dog friendly pub. she sat on the bench next to me and watched the world go by

3:38 am

Haz1558

That's just what Scrabbler says as well, Jill. She's got some strange ideas about George.

3:39 am

jillibus

I wish we had pubs like that

3:39 am

jillibus

well, Haz, I'm glad you're seeing a therapist...

3:40 am

westford

couldn't we all have him for one day a week?

3:40 am

Atalante

most of them are around here. we're in the middle of the countryside, if the farmers couldn't slope in for a drink at midday with their labradors and collies, they wouldn't go to the pubs

3:40 am

Haz1558

I'm in contact with your therapist, Jillibus, you're proving to be a hard case to deal with and she thought she'd look for advice from one who knows George well.

3:41 am

westford

ata I have a friend who lives in Surrey and she brings her dog to the pub all the time

3:41 am

Haz1558

But don't say that you know. Professional confidences and all that.

3:41 am

westford

he's a big one too

3:41 am

Atalante

Jilli - we went to Leeds Castle the other day. It's owner in the mid 20th century was an American heiress who became Lady Baillie. She had Great Danes. And bred them ,I think

3:42 am

Atalante

I think nearly every table had a dog under it last night!

3:42 am

jillibus

Well, if those thoughts keep you happy, Haz, I wouldn't dream of interfering

3:42 am

westford

I wish we had pubs

3:43 am

Haz1558

It's when the farmers start bringing in their pet goats that the atmosphere turns really ripe.

3:43 am

westford

google has goats

3:43 am

jillibus

We need English villages where everything is in walking distance

3:44 am

westford

they keep the grass trimmed at their headquarters

3:44 am

westford

I don't know about walking distance jilli my friend thinks nothing of going 5 miles to the pub

3:45 am

westford

I'd be in another state if I did that

3:45 am

jillibus

and now, bed, really -- good night/morning all *repoof*

3:45 am

Haz1558

That's a very eco-friendly way of doing the grass, but English people would be looking for the stripes in the lawn.

3:45 am

westford

sure jilli lol

3:45 am

Atalante

straight stripes

3:45 am

Haz1558

Sleep well, jillibus, nice to see you!

3:46 am

Haz1558

Absoltutely. Straight stripes or it's not worthy of being grass.

3:46 am

joshuavorbis

i bet gordon brown doesn't have stripes in HIS lawn

3:46 am

westford

it does seem prettier

3:47 am

joshuavorbis

and he probably got made fun of for it at the latest session of parliament

3:47 am

westford

does he have a lawn?

3:47 am

Atalante

bet Chequers has stripes

3:47 am

Haz1558

Of course he does. The back garden at no 10 is used for photo opportunities and the stripes are mandatory.

3:48 am

westford

as it should be

3:48 am

Haz1558

Yes, I can't imagine Chequers without stripes.

3:48 am

Atalante

does Stormont have stripes?

3:48 am

westford

the lawn at the Marine Commandant's quarters in DC is painted green

3:49 am

Haz1558

It's quite a big lawn at Stormont, 1 mile from the road. But I'd be pretty sure they do their best.

3:49 am

westford

are riding mowers allowed?

3:49 am

Atalante

oh my, west!

3:49 am

Haz1558

Just googled Stormont and YES we have stripes!

3:50 am

Atalante

wooot!

3:51 am

Atalante

is it Old Trafford that has checks instead of stripes?

3:51 am

westford

I think I prefer checks

3:51 am

Haz1558

There, I've uploaded a picture of stripy Stormont.

3:52 am

Haz1558

I think lots of the football grounds have different patterns. I've seen tartan before now.

3:52 am

Atalante

oh how lovely!

3:52 am

Atalante

(Stormont I mean)

3:52 am

westford

very nice

3:52 am

Haz1558

I know. And look how straight the stripes are.

3:53 am

Atalante

perfect!

3:53 am

westford

when I googled it I got health care

3:53 am

sprite

morning all

3:53 am

Haz1558

If you google image it, westford you get some nice pictures.

3:54 am

westford

oh I didn't think of that

3:54 am

westford

hello sprite

3:54 am

Haz1558

Good morning sprite.

3:55 am

sprite

how's the verdict on today's grid?

3:55 am

westford

it's coming along

3:55 am

Haz1558

So far it's very nice, I think.

3:56 am

westford

I liked yesterday's better

3:56 am

sprite

thanks :) *dives in*

3:56 am

joshuavorbis

just to save you some headache - you can't make tattoo in the grid today. you really just can't

3:57 am

westford

so close josh

3:57 am

sprite

lol josh! And I take it you tried and tried!

3:58 am

joshuavorbis

no comment

3:59 am

sprite

nice young clooney, west! He matured well, though, I think.

4:00 am

westford

oh yes sprite was just saying how well

4:00 am

joshuavorbis

wtf is the other z? i don't know if i can even attempt any other combinations

4:00 am

westford

it's polish money usually ends in y

4:00 am

sprite

try ZL for starters

4:00 am

joshuavorbis

polish, eh

4:00 am

Atalante

ok, gotta go and sort sister's phone out. back later!

4:01 am

joshuavorbis

yeah. stinking poles

4:01 am

joshuavorbis

got it

4:01 am

sprite

hi and bye then Ata

4:01 am

westford

bye ata good luck

4:01 am

Haz1558

My moment of triumph was finding the zl unaided. Hooray for a trip to Poland last year!

4:01 am

sprite

nothing wrong with poles!

4:01 am

Haz1558

Bye Ata!

4:01 am

Atalante

hi sprite! bye sprite!

4:02 am

joshuavorbis

poles are sneaky and good at hiding, just like their currency

4:02 am

joshuavorbis

i knew the word, i just never thought to try zl

4:02 am

Haz1558

Nothing like a vast generalisation to provoke comment.

4:02 am

sprite

perhaps certain individuals can be all that. But never a whole nationality.

4:03 am

joshuavorbis

luckily i would never try to say anything definitive about a nationality because i had trouble locating their currency in the babble grid

4:04 am

westford

that's good josh

4:04 am

Haz1558

That is fortunate.

4:04 am

sprite

so I guess I was provoked to comment. Will keep still.

4:05 am

westford

did you enjoy your trip haz?

4:05 am

herinfernallady

Hi

4:05 am

westford

hi herin

4:06 am

herinfernallady

How goes it?

4:06 am

Haz1558

I enjoyed it very much, westford. It was to Krakow for 4 days in May last year, to celebrate my 50th birthday. It's a beautiful city and we also got the chance to visit Auschwitz, so memorable for a number of reasons.

4:06 am

Haz1558

Hello herin.

4:06 am

herinfernallady

Waves hello

4:06 am

westford

any language barriers?

4:06 am

sprite

hi lady

4:07 am

herinfernallady

Hugs

4:07 am

Haz1558

Well, fortunately many of the Polish people we encountered spoke pretty good English. Polish is a pretty impenetrable language with more than its fair share of consonants (for the English eye) so we were grateful to be treated so well.

4:08 am

Haz1558

I can manage okay with French, German, Spanish road signs etc, but hadn't a hope with Polish.

4:08 am

westford

I've always wanted to go there my Polish consists of 'Give me a kiss' Thank You and Good Night

4:09 am

herinfernallady

That is one place I think i would be frightened and in awe of

4:09 am

westford

I think I'd get along lol

4:09 am

Haz1558

Maybe be selective where you use those phrases, West!

4:09 am

joshuavorbis

i had that problem with hungarian and turkish

4:09 am

joshuavorbis

i got to where i could pronounce the words on the signs, but had no idea what they meant and no hope to find out without burying myself in a dictionary for 5 minutes

4:09 am

Haz1558

You mean Auschwitz, herin? It was fascinating, less emotive than I expected when I was actually there, but it has haunted me since.

4:10 am

herinfernallady

Yes I mean Auschwitz. I was arguing with a kitty

4:10 am

Haz1558

I know what you mean, josh, and what they seem to be saying bears no relation to what the book says they're saying.

4:11 am

joshuavorbis

polish is almost as bad as welsh, if you ask me

4:12 am

Haz1558

They both have their vowel shortages.

4:14 am

Haz1558

It would be interesting to hear what Polish people think of English. It's not as though we have an extremely logical language or anything.

4:14 am

joshuavorbis

no kidding

4:14 am

herinfernallady

My friend is Polish that has never been bought up before

4:15 am

joshuavorbis

because of all the borrowing in english, it is one of the most arbitrary languages in the world

4:15 am

Haz1558

Maybe your friend is being polite, herin.

4:15 am

herinfernallady

No just one of those things.

4:16 am

herinfernallady

Interesting point though

4:16 am

joshuavorbis

bottom two roys greyed

4:16 am

joshuavorbis

that pl5/22 was a lucky find

4:16 am

westford

looks polish lol

4:16 am

Haz1558

That's why it amuses and frustrates me when so many people howl with annoyance when 'foreign' words are accepted in babble. It's just a characteristic of the language that if it can't think of a better word, English will just grab another language's word and adopt it.

4:16 am

joshuavorbis

looks yiddish

4:17 am

joshuavorbis

it's hard to tell where the boundaries of english are, sometimes

4:17 am

westford

that too

4:17 am

westford

The Story of English is fascinating have you read or seen it?

4:18 am

joshuavorbis

i don't know - possibly

4:18 am

joshuavorbis

that is a title i could have seen a hudnred times or not at all

4:19 am

westford

it was a series on PBS

4:19 am

herinfernallady

I love learning new words. I have a kitty on the edge of the chair and I really want to push her off

4:19 am

westford

and a book but can't remember the author

4:19 am

Haz1558

I don't think so, westford. I enjoyed Bill Bryson's 'Mother Tongue', but then I enjoy most of his work.

4:19 am

joshuavorbis

push her off, herin. she probably deserves it for something

4:20 am

westford

I have one on the arm of my chair

4:20 am

Haz1558

Written by McNeil, McCrum and McCann (The story of English, that is)

4:21 am

westford

I was just googling you beat me to it

4:21 am

herinfernallady

No I couldn't do that she will get me back in the am. i think his royal pain in my bum has been annoying her. He has stolen her tea tonight

4:22 am

joshuavorbis

21 left. i'm half-tempted to just run for the finish and sleep when i'm dead

4:22 am

westford

I'll try to find Mother Tongue

4:22 am

westford

go for it josh

4:24 am

joshuavorbis

but it's nearly 05:30 here

4:24 am

westford

here too

4:27 am

herinfernallady

why are you awake?

4:28 am

joshuavorbis

you sound like my conscience, herin

4:28 am

westford

if I finish this I'll have a feeling of accomplishment

4:28 am

herinfernallady

my cats have bothered each other. ONe is hiding on mum :D

4:29 am

Haz1558

If you have a sleep and come back to it, your thought processes will be rested and you'll probably find the missing words more easily.

4:29 am

westford

you're right haz think I'll take your advice

4:30 am

westford

I can't find the se5/12 for love nor money

4:30 am

joshuavorbis

but i've only 15 left. i can smell the fireworks

4:30 am

hydra

next door's kitty has just jumped on my lap and is busy scent marking the keyboard.

4:30 am

Haz1558

Second helping of smugness today - first I find the Polish currency and now westford is taking my advice!

4:30 am

Haz1558

se5/12 - hebrew word, found in psalms.

4:30 am

sprite

4:50 am

herinfernallady

Um other than now no. I was doing work in the car for 30min whilst we were stuck in a car park jam *i wasn't driving*

4:51 am

herinfernallady

Anniebrook

red, I am okay...60 hours..too much but the pay makes up for it, I hope

10:31 am

redturtlehead

the pay has been nice, but I am really wanting some more time off to unpack!!!

10:32 am

bichon

red, was reading an article about exotic imported wildlife taking over Florida, including Burmese pythons

10:32 am

bichon

It was in the New Yorker magazine from April

10:33 am

redturtlehead

Yes, Bichon, the phytons are basically being killed anytime anyone sees them, and lion fish in the water are horrible.

10:33 am

redturtlehead

thats why I made my fish tank all local fish, if I ever get time to get them!!!

10:34 am

redturtlehead

Bichon did you hear though, about the extreme law proposed by someone in senate, that banned all non native animals? It essentially bans hamsters and goldfish.

10:34 am

bichon

Gerbils too?

10:35 am

redturtlehead

gerbils, and a mess of regular aquarium fish. I cant find what happened to it.

10:36 am

bichon

There was a supposition in the article, that because of global warming, pythons could be reaching the NE by 2100. That's a looong way off though, and it's only a theory

10:36 am

bichon

I kept having dreams of a snake devouring my Bisky

Oh no Bichon. they are saying that freezing iquanas is cruel, but actually it is a very humane way to kill reptiles.

10:38 am

redturtlehead

i hope your bisky stays safe.

10:39 am

bichon

In CT, he will be safe [sorta]. There are coyotes

10:40 am

bichon

The thought of reptile wandering around makes my tummy crawl

10:41 am

redturtlehead

It took me a while to get used to the buch of little lizards we always have wiggling about in Fl.

10:42 am

bichon

The little ones are okay, but we saw big ones in Costa Rica sunny themselves at the swimming pool

10:43 am

We have a lot of birds that eat them, so...

1:31 pm

Atalante

GORGEOUS colours

1:32 pm

dcseain

i think so, the reds and oranges complement, an the browns help unify and to moderate the oranges. :) I may work in just a tiny bit of a blue or green for contrast. more likely blue to make use of the complementary aspects

1:33 pm

Atalante

a mossy colour green works very well as a contrast to those colours

2:08 pm

FMitch

Ah Metropolis :)

2:08 pm

Atalante

oooo i like that film

2:08 pm

Vicuna

And you can't hide them from me, because my tin foil hat blocks the mind control rays with which you keep the rest of the earth in ignorance.

2:09 pm

FMitch

I know you do silly!
Back in a bit or two need more tea

2:09 pm

Atalante

2:09 pm

Vicuna

You've got to trust me on this, everyone!

2:09 pm

quail

I have all of the se words except the last se4/4. Could I get a clue?

2:10 pm

Vicuna

se4/4 - purveys, with undoubled consonant. At least that's my last se4/4/

2:11 pm

Vicuna

Oh dear. I guess the others can't handle the truth. Sorry everyone! *goes back into the Faraday cage*

2:11 pm

Lovely quail, quail. Where'd you get it?

2:12 pm

2:13 pm

VerbalFunderbur

se 4 -- double consonant ending

2:13 pm

Vicuna

You must be really excited!

2:13 pm

quail

Thanks for the clues. I found my quail by doing search on google for quail graphics. This was my favorite.

2:13 pm

Vicuna

Oh, thanks, Verbal. I missed that one.

2:14 pm

Vicuna

Good choice then, quail! =)

2:16 pm

FMitch

Vi you could always rent a space in MG's lead bunker!

2:16 pm

Vicuna

Oh, does she have a le4/5 bunker? Isn't she worried about getting le4/5 poisoning?

2:17 pm

FMitch

2:17 pm

Vicuna

redturtlehead

Ladies, please, words I dont have to get into the PB...

2:19 pm

dinok

brb, hi red

2:19 pm

Vicuna

True, true, Ata. I'd better start training the ToGs in antidote chemistry.

2:19 pm

FMitch

lol dinok, it's OK I designed it with lots of cupboard space so there is always something to find in there.
Hi Red!

2:21 pm

FMitch

If you haven't seen the pics dinok look in my profile.

2:22 pm

Atalante

yay for pics being back!

2:23 pm

FMitch

They are a blast from the past aren't they!

2:23 pm

Vicuna

*wipes a nostalgic tear*

2:23 pm

FMitch

Hugs Vi :)

2:24 pm

Vicuna

*breaks down completely*

2:25 pm

FMitch

Awe, there there dear, have a cup of tea and a box of tissues

2:25 pm

FMitch

Failing that I have an emergency supply of Haz's blue and pink pills?

2:25 pm

Vicuna

I like the tea, but the tissues are always so hard to chew. *sniff*

2:25 pm

FMitch

LOL

2:26 pm

redturtlehead

try the aloe tissues vicuna, they godown easier.

2:26 pm

Vicuna

Ah, thanks for the tip, redturtle!

2:26 pm

Vicuna

I'm sure Ata would agree.

2:27 pm

Atalante

oh yes

2:27 pm

redturtlehead

I'm now finding this grid to be a bit difficult.

2:27 pm

Vicuna

And now I must leave you, and my last 23 words, for later. Duty calls.
*waves affectionately*

2:28 pm

FMitch

Bye Vi adieu!

MetFan

Lurking Fireworks

3:10 pm

quail

3:10 pm

PAV3

hey Met! congrats!

3:11 pm

PAV3

and the past tense of that becomes the fl7 48 quail...

3:11 pm

MetFan

Anybody want clues before I poof for dinner?

3:12 pm

quail

I was just entering that one . I love those words that grow.

3:13 pm

quail

I am so excited. I have only 16 words more to finish. If I finish, It will be my first time to do so.

3:13 pm

PAV3

what's for din Met?

3:13 pm

PAV3

GO quail!

3:14 pm

MetFan

Teryaki chicken on a bed of wild rice, cauliflower ....

3:14 pm

quail

The folks on this site are so great. I really enjoy my time playing.

3:14 pm

bichon

It's nice to have happy people around

3:15 pm

PAV3

...and green beans? with a side of a pinot...?

3:15 pm

PAV3

..and for dessert a quick strawberry shortcake?

3:15 pm

MetFan

Hows by you, Pav? I tend not to get involved with the chog because it takes too much time to complete the grid, pls there have been enough people on here who cut in on a conversation and get snotty, as of late anyway....

3:16 pm

MetFan

And no, no green beans - I tend to prefer cruciferous veggies...

3:16 pm

bichon

Snotty people, here?

3:16 pm

bichon

How are those Mets doing so far?

3:16 pm

MetFan

Believe it or else.....

3:17 pm

MetFan

Crummy

3:17 pm

PAV3

I hear that...just last night there were a few who graciously ignored my help and while I may have felt pushed aside, it was to my benefit as I then started lurking, completing more than I would have...I like to help after finishing though

3:18 pm

quail

15 more

3:18 pm

dinok

snap!

3:19 pm

MetFan

This is how it went: My sister (Reparteena) was staying in alone on a Sat nite, so I asked her if she'd like to go out with m e to the local den of iniquity, told her I always thought she'd make a great hag (they use the term on "WIll & Grace" all the time) and someone who shall remain nameless got all up in my face about being insulted by the term.

3:19 pm

quail

14 more

3:20 pm

bichon

too bad MetsFan, I always remember my father when I think of the Mets

3:21 pm

bichon

I think people are mostly nice here, but I don't really interact with them enough to think of them as friends

3:21 pm

PAV3

that happens all too often Met...I've removed most of my identifiers because of that...no sense letting peeps on who trash....

3:21 pm

MetFan

So I tend not to get involved with the chog as of late. The term is one of endearment, and she had no business cutting in on me and my Sis. Bichon, the Mets are doing so badly, I don't even want to wear my many shirts out!!!

3:21 pm

lynxxx

Really? how silly - I think its quite affectionate Metfan

3:22 pm

MetFan

Well, that's you, Lynxxx, you're a sweetheart anyway....

3:22 pm

PAV3

and I don't interact if I see certain Babblers on...just lurk...

3:22 pm

inslomo

I was here when that happened ... how long ago now?

3:22 pm

inslomo

I was here when that happened ... how long ago now?

3:23 pm

MetFan

That's what I do, Pav, and only come in if I REALLY need a clue, or to announce fireworks.....

3:23 pm

bichon

I don't have enough hours in the day to do this game, never mind coming back after I've finished to chat. I enjoy chatting when I do though

3:23 pm

PAV3

hey Lynxxx? how are ya?

3:23 pm

MetFan

It was about three weeks ago, inslomo

3:24 pm

lynxxx

I'm good, and even better when I get my first coffee of the day BBS

3:24 pm

inslomo

and you are still offended over such a trivial thing?

3:24 pm

bichon

What happened, was someone snotty

3:25 pm

dinok

grrh! took me all that time to see ti5/16!

3:25 pm

MetFan

I'm not insulted - just incensed over her nerve, and it tends to make me stay to myself because I don't want to get on here and say something I shouldn't, which would be my tendency....

3:25 pm

PAV3

and mine was bout that time as well Met...I made a slight faux pax in re: our Pres that some took great offense with, and I wasn't conversing with them to begin with...but the kinder ladies mentioned religion and politics are not not good conversation topics...

3:26 pm

inslomo

you are saying it anyway

3:26 pm

bichon

It's difficult to dicuss very serious matters in this kind of forum.. Sometimes you don't mean it but it comes out sounding wrong

3:27 pm

MetFan

I Mean I don't want to get reduced to the other person's level of name-calling and such....

3:27 pm

nrkii

hi all!

3:27 pm

nrkii

bichon I agree

3:27 pm

nrkii

bichon I agree

3:27 pm

inslomo

but you did

3:27 pm

PAV3

exactly, Bichon..and to think during the election anything was open...

3:27 pm

inslomo

and are now

3:27 pm

nrkii

I often just stay quiet when people start saying things I disagree with, and I leave if I start to get angry

3:28 pm

MetFan

Good strategy, nrkii, one I adhere to....

3:28 pm

bichon

I think there was such an overwhelming majority here pro-Obama that if anyone was for his opponent, they kept it to themselves

3:28 pm

nrkii

I don't think people realize how diverse this community is, and that for every opinion, there is sure to be at least one person on with exactly the opposite opinion

3:28 pm

inslomo

calling Obama a terrorist is not funny

3:29 pm

bichon

I definitely don't discuss religion anywhere except with very close company. It's too personal and can ignite strong passions

3:29 pm

PAV3

Met, we are like minded...no sense in raising hell with a game and peeps we only meet online...and some just need to be ignored altogether....

3:29 pm

nrkii

I'm sure it is to someone inslomo, as much as it might not be to many

3:29 pm

bichon

Someone called Barack Obama a terrorist here?

3:29 pm

MetFan

The point is, you're not going to change an opinion in this forum, so let people have their opinions, and move on.....

3:29 pm

inslomo

you thing Obama is a terrorist

3:30 pm

inslomo

think

3:30 pm

bichon

I certainly don't think any such thing.

3:30 pm

MetFan

I voted for Mr. Obama....

3:30 pm

nrkii

see, and this is where I don't bother to engage (foolish me to have jumped in with something so outrageous as suggesting that in a diverse group, you have people with opinions quite opposite to your own, no matter the topic)

3:31 pm

MetFan

Quite true, nrkii

3:31 pm

PAV3

...and with that, if anyone needs a clue, I'm here otherwise I'll get ready for my evening volunteerism...

3:31 pm

nrkii

and by the way, no, I don't

3:31 pm

bichon

I do discuss politics, but only in a general sense. When I go visit red-state relatives I shut up cause they are so obnoxious about it

3:31 pm

Tempest

can anyone help me with ts5?

3:31 pm

nrkii

ts + lemon***

3:32 pm

bichon

It's a Hebrew letter

3:32 pm

PAV3

or t+ sa4

3:32 pm

Tempest

thanks

3:32 pm

MetFan

Anyway I have marinating chicken waiting for me, wild rice to cook, cauliflower to steam. Have fun, all, and good luck, this wasn't a terrible grid. Bye all. {{{{POOF}}}}

3:33 pm

PAV3

night Met! thanks for sharing...

3:33 pm

Bye Metfan - enjoy

3:33 pm

4:55 pm

dcseain

Enable is insane, trif :)

4:55 pm

Trifioso

7:38 pm

Scrabbler

I love Astelin and Patanase--work great!!

7:38 pm

Minveryork

Is it over the counter car.eeyore? I took an Actifed.

7:39 pm

Minveryork

Im almost out of Actifed, so went out and got Alavert

7:39 pm

car.eeyore

No, it is prescription. But it is just amazing the difference it has made for me. And it does not aggravate my headaches/migraines which is even better!

7:39 pm

Scrabbler

86, ak. In a Masonic Home, great care on the palliative care unit, with oxygen added today.

7:39 pm

car.eeyore

OTC, I have had great luck also with Aleve Cold & Sinus.

7:39 pm

aknitter

oh i could never take astelin - they have that really annoying commercial makes me want to beat the tv

7:39 pm

Minveryork

I don't like the nasal sprays.I like to take pills instead

7:40 pm

Scrabbler

The nasal sprays (Rx) are far more effective than the antihistamines.

7:40 pm

torgone

Now, nothing to do but babble and get ti5/16 ..

7:40 pm

aknitter

86- what a great life to have had. so many changes in the world - i think old people are really neat

7:40 pm

Minveryork

A ti5/16 is how you might feel after too many drinks.

7:40 pm

Scrabbler

We just had a huge Italian dinner here with everyone and I am stuffed. There was homemade red wine, but I don't drink.

7:41 pm

Minveryork

A ti 5/16 word is ti 4/5 plus sometimes vowel torgone

7:41 pm

car.eeyore

Min, I got the opposite...I was so tired of taking so many pills!

7:41 pm

Scrabbler

I agree, ak. How blessed to have lived to 86. My aunt is so angry though, but that is ok for now.

7:41 pm

torgone

I know, Min .. I was using it in a sentence ..

7:42 pm

Minveryork

Alavert you only take once a day, whereas the other medicines like Actifed I take every 4 - 6 hours or so.

7:43 pm

Scrabbler

TY for your input, ak. I will visit my uncle again in the morning. He is on oral pain meds for now. He has metastases in liver, lungs, spine and ? brain.
