westford

I'm not sure when it started to happen but teachers don't correct spelling or grammar anymore

12:59 am

12:59 am

melonheadjujube

el9

12:59 am

Just1Mar

since my 27 year old kid was in grammar school at least...used to drive me nuts

1:00 am

PAV3

and my hot pet peeve..is the the use of "bring" when peeps should use "take"

1:00 am

jillibus

I've been asked if I'm a teacher and I say no, but I was well taught

1:00 am

melonheadjujube

I have a phantom derriere.

lol melon

1:00 am

PAV3

thanks Melon!

1:01 am

Just1Mar

today he thanks me for driving him nuts with grammar and spelling that they didn't focus on then (and now too so it seems)

1:01 am

westford

we were creative and used proper English

1:02 am

PAV3

but I just chalk the poor grammar to schooling here in Az...I think we're # 49 or 50 in rankings for the 50 States...I'm from the mid-West meslef...

1:02 am

broll

thx melon!

1:02 am

1:41 am

westford

just stay away from the pool

1:41 am

Just1Mar

kitchenette* lol (for jilli)

1:41 am

jillibus

1:41 am

Just1Mar

in 95F sun you don't stay away from the pool, you embrace it

1:42 am

Just1Mar

yes everyday maid service but they won't wash your dishes (no dishwasher)

1:42 am

jillibus

I'd prefer the sea

1:42 am

westford

that's true then avoid being thrown in

1:42 am

jillibus

oh la de da!

1:42 am

Just1Mar

sea is right there too jilli....you have your pick

1:42 am

jillibus

but you have to do your own cooking?

1:43 am

Just1Mar

actually the ocean, the beautiful southern Pacific, warm waters, but quite the current

1:43 am

westford

for what you are going through I'd demand they wash the dishes

1:43 am

westford

I wanna go

1:43 am

Just1Mar

nah no biggie west, we only do some breakfasts in the room and hor's d;ouevres and drinks etc

Just1Mar

2:24 am

Just1Mar

it works off the de4/5

2:24 am

westford

2:24 am

Sally-catlover

Yu have an apple too west? I don't get lickety's fireworks either.

Sally-catlover

Sally-catlover

2:26 am

westford

just have to remember where I filed it lol

2:26 am

Sally-catlover

Do you play in Babble Expert west? I have VPC on my Mac, but find BE a bit slow on that. Occasionally resort to it when I'm really stuck.

2:27 am

westford

no I can't do BE

2:27 am

westford

I check the words off manually

2:28 am

Sally-catlover

Can only do it in VPC. Much faster on the Mac side of my Mac (iyswim)

2:33 am

joshuavorbis

nbt

2:33 am

westford

2:34 am

Just1Mar

2:34 am

westford

like the thing you get when you pay up your mortgage?

2:34 am

Just1Mar

ng josh...I can only dream

2:34 am

joshuavorbis

the nbt thing is the only trick in my bag. i plod through this just like the rest of us

Just1Mar

2:36 am

Sally-catlover

I'm just over half way, but don't have nbt yet!

2:36 am

joshuavorbis

sometimes it's hard to go straight for nbt because you see all the other words you could be typing instead

2:36 am

Sally-catlover

The e words are avoiding me

2:37 am

joshuavorbis

don't forget the ever-present er4 as in er**while

2:37 am

Sally-catlover

I do Josh, I get them in fast before I forget them.

2:37 am

Just1Mar

2:37 am

joshuavorbis

i can't believe there are 21 M words. where am i going to find them all?

2:37 am

Sally-catlover

2:38 am

o-o

my suggestion is start in the grid

2:38 am

joshuavorbis

haha, just found me6/7/8/7. i take back what i said about the m's now

2:38 am

sprite

back at last, now for the Ks...

2:38 am

Sally-catlover

Well, I have all the e's from the top right, and now the one clued by Josh, but not the bottom ones except one from bottom left (en 4/5)

2:39 am

Just1Mar

top left e is: is like a prefix for while ....

2:39 am

Just1Mar

er 4/4

2:39 am

o-o

osculate, sprite

2:39 am

joshuavorbis

don't forget es4, plural snaky letters

2:39 am

Just1Mar

bottom middle e: a plural letter

2:40 am

Just1Mar

wb sprite...k's not so bad

2:40 am

sprite

hehehe BabbleRabble... well I might!

2:40 am

Sally-catlover

Ah yes, I thought of that before but couldn't make it fit. I should know by now to just bung them in even if I think they won't work.

2:40 am

sprite

thanks 1Mar.

2:41 am

o-o

what did the little lion learn today, sprite?

2:42 am

sprite

to not bite me when playing, I hope. And to be quiet when the kids and I read LOTR. Also that he is much much loved.

2:43 am

o-o

many worthwhile lessens today

2:43 am

Just1Mar

however, that is not to say that the k is used muchly (my word) not as the first letter

2:43 am

sprite

we try. He is easy to love for sure!

2:44 am

elder

Good morning everyone. Sprite just ha a peep at your pictures. Terra looks bubbly and so cute as does Husband .:)

2:47 am

sprite

ah there it is. Now for some real babbling!

2:48 am

sprite

good job west. I found one of the stranger babble words. More diseased. Always makes me wonder.

2:49 am

sprite

deceased. Diceased. Well. No idea anymore how to spell it!

2:49 am

westford

deceased

2:50 am

Just1Mar

if you have a terminal disease, you make become deceased

2:50 am

sprite

thanks west. Very blind spot. Thanks 1Mar.
Had the same thing once at work. When I had to type yours sincerely and started with ci...

2:50 am

o-o

hard to imagine how one who has expired may get any more lifeless

2:50 am

westford

then you'd be de**** than a door nail

2:51 am

sprite

exactly BabbleRabble. Very Dickens.

2:51 am

Just1Mar

lol west

2:51 am

o-o

which is hyperbole without reality

2:51 am

joshuavorbis

what i want to know is, who killed all the door nails

2:52 am

westford

the hammer I think

2:52 am

westford

that is such a strange expression

2:52 am

o-o

I did not even know doors grew nails

2:52 am

Just1Mar

I wanna know what the heck a door nail is!

2:52 am

westford

lol

2:52 am

joshuavorbis

when i find the hammer that killed the door nails i'm really going to read it the riot act

2:52 am

westford

keeps your door from falling off?

2:53 am

Just1Mar

if i had a hammer, I

2:53 am

Just1Mar

I'd hammer in the morning

2:53 am

westford

ooh good another song

2:53 am

sprite

when your only tool is a hammer, you are inclined to see every problem as a nail.

2:54 am

joshuavorbis

hammers work real well on nails

2:54 am

Just1Mar

they do!

2:55 am

sprite

oh el5 you are in today's grid! And valid as well!

2:55 am

o-o

some stuff on doornails: http://tinyurl.com/y8k2cl

2:55 am

sprite

lots of you!

2:56 am

joshuavorbis

it's not like me to have all but one 8 this early into a reasonable sized grid

2:56 am

sprite

can I ask you something joshua?

2:57 am

westford

great job bab I bookmarked the site

2:57 am

joshuavorbis

good stuff babrab

2:57 am

joshuavorbis

of course, sprite

2:57 am

sprite

great site BabbleRabble, who knew?

2:57 am

elder

Sprite. yes :)

2:58 am

sprite

were you serious when you were making rather racistical comments on the Polish people recently in chat?

2:58 am

joshuavorbis

uh, no. in fact i was acting a fool to make fun of people who would be racist to the poles

2:59 am

Just1Mar

racist comments on poles?

2:59 am

Just1Mar

do you mean Polish jokes?

2:59 am

o-o

good day, elder

2:59 am

westford

he couldn't find the zl word

2:59 am

sprite

am glad. You made some of us really wonder if you knew what you were saying, and fearing you did.

3:00 am

joshuavorbis

i have dated one too many wonderful polish women to ever make a joke with any sincerity and malice about them

3:00 am

westford

I always liked Polish jokes and I'm half Polish

3:00 am

elder

Hello Babble.

3:01 am

elder

Babble to the PB :)

3:01 am

sprite

no it was no joke, and I am glad to hear you weren't slighting a people.

3:01 am

Just1Mar

my hubby is Polish (although of Jewish extraction)

3:01 am

Just1Mar

wonder if there is any distinction?...

3:02 am

o-o

the usual suffixes get a workout today

3:02 am

sprite

probably, 1Mar, in cultural background?

3:02 am

westford

some Poles are Jewish and some are Christian

3:02 am

joshuavorbis

i think i said something about polish people being good at hiding, like the zl word

3:02 am

sprite

they sure do, BabbleRabble, find one, find a heap today.

3:02 am

westford

the suffixes are wonderful today

3:02 am

Just1Mar

actually his parents are Polish, he was born in Germany after the war in an internment camp....they stopped speaking Polish once they were forced out to live the war in Siberia

3:02 am

sprite

yeah and them being sneaky and things like that.

3:02 am

joshuavorbis

i don't know of any actual evidence or lame jokes about polish people hiding, so i thought i was safe, but words have a funny way of coming across as different things to different people - sorry for the misunderstanding

3:03 am

sprite

I am glad I asked, joshua. Thanks for explaining. You gave me a scare.

3:03 am

Just1Mar

the zl word?

3:04 am

westford

for money

3:04 am

joshuavorbis

sorry, i forget sometimes that people on this site don't know me and my manner of making jokes. i should be more careful about that sort of thing

3:04 am

Just1Mar

that's what I thought but still don't get the connection ...sigh

3:05 am

Just1Mar

a lot of the so-called Polish jokes here in Canada are substituted for Newfie (Newfoundland) jokes

3:05 am

sprite

yeah that is why I asked then, about individuals who can be all that, but a whole people never can.

3:05 am

joshuavorbis

i have definitely heard bad newfie jokes over the years

3:05 am

sprite

to find out whether you were joking or not. Glad you were.

3:06 am

joshuavorbis

and my share of racist jokes as a child growing up in the rural south

3:06 am

Just1Mar

and in Toronto, the Pakistanis (Pakis) are the substitution of choice

3:06 am

Just1Mar

I thought your heritage was Italian, westie?

3:07 am

sprite

for us Dutch it used to be the Belgian people, but things are changing here. When I overhear the kids telling jokes, it is not about any people, just about persons.

3:07 am

westford

that's my married name

3:07 am

Just1Mar

yes Sprite that is true

3:07 am

westford

but no it's not italian it's scots irish

3:07 am

joshuavorbis

i still have to deal with relatives who love to tell oh so clever racist jokes about obama

3:08 am

sprite

scots irish... I am jealous! Am reading Diana Gabaldon atm and wow, I'd love to learn those language.

3:08 am

Just1Mar

but we are such a silly race....we are such a small tribe of people with regards to our humongous universe

3:08 am

sprite

*languages

3:09 am

Just1Mar

it's such a crying shame that we can't just all live in peace

3:09 am

o-o

communicating effectively is so much more difficult than it is perceived

3:09 am

westford

he even has some Ojibwa on his mother's side

3:09 am

westford

yes just it is

3:09 am

Just1Mar

was reading about the "mustard" flap today.....I mean how stupid is that?!

3:09 am

westford

we are the world

3:09 am

joshuavorbis

as hard as communicating effectively is, it's somewhere between 10 and 600 times harder on the internet

3:10 am

westford

what's that I haven't heard

3:10 am

sprite

so very true

3:10 am

Just1Mar

and did you know that the per capita consumption of Ketchup in the USA ia a whopping 66 pounds per person!!!!

3:10 am

o-o

people often take for granted that what he or she believes is a truism

3:11 am

sprite

omg 1Mar... that is so much!

3:11 am

Just1Mar

Obama ordered a cheeseburger and wanted dijon or some other strong mustard, fox news went berserk

3:11 am

joshuavorbis

none of that ketchup consumption comes from me. i really dislike that stuff. what a pointless condiment

3:11 am

westford

not for me never use the stuff

3:11 am

westford

you're kidding

3:11 am

sprite

good grieve, let the man eat as he likes!

3:11 am

westford

I put vinegar on my fries

3:11 am

Just1Mar

went on an on about how un American that he didn't want "Frenches" mustared lolol

3:12 am

Just1Mar

oh westie, how quebecoise of you!

3:12 am

joshuavorbis

to be fair to fox news, they go berserk on a daily basis. i think it's as standard as going to commercial

3:12 am

joshuavorbis

i put tzatziki sauce on my fries

3:12 am

Just1Mar

and I know the Dutch love mayo on their french fries! right spritey?

3:13 am

westford

I think it must have come down here from Quebec

3:15 am

joshuavorbis

3:15 am

westford

I saw a recipe the other day that called for an entire clove of garlic

3:15 am

westford

you're right

3:15 am

o-o

freedom of the press is touted as a watchdog to keep government in line. One old saw states the duty of the press is to comfort the afflicted, and afflict the comfortable. What we have now is a press with an agenda; political operatives.

3:15 am

joshuavorbis

give me spicy mustard any day of the week. i'm with obama

3:16 am

joshuavorbis

babrab, not to open a pandora's box, but i think there may be no turning back now

Just1Mar

3:16 am

o-o

newspapers have lost their way

3:16 am

westford

bulb I guess

3:17 am

westford

clove is just one little one isn't it

3:17 am

sprite

ketchup: only the hot variety.
mustard: groningse or zaanse, or french, good and sharp.
garlic: in any shape and recipe
freedom of press: as long as there is respect, which too often isn't

3:17 am

joshuavorbis

newspapers have lost their income

3:17 am

Just1Mar

yes one little part of the whole

3:17 am

westford

I've never heard it called a fist

3:17 am

westford

Just1Mar

Just1Mar

bye josh hope we're not driving you out

3:21 am

o-o

ineffective communication is an obnubilation

3:22 am

sprite

it is a complicated thing, communication. You need to find words for what you think you want to say, then you need to say it, the other needs to hear it, and then interpret the words as they think they are meant. It is amazing it works as often as it does!

3:22 am

elder

Babble, crumbs. Did you swallow a dictionary this morning/last night :)

3:24 am

elder

Good analogy there, Sprite.

3:25 am

o-o

great communication, sprite

3:25 am

Sally-catlover

Have to dash. Back later.

3:25 am

westford

and add to it that you're communicating in another language

3:25 am

elder

Bye Sally.

3:26 am

sprite

bye Sally!

3:26 am

westford

bye sally see you soon

3:26 am

o-o

be well, Sally

3:26 am

sprite

doing it in another language does add another fence to jump over, yes :)

3:27 am

sprite

recently I said to jilli I was laughing so hard. I meant loud. Crossover from Dutch, so silly.

3:28 am

o-o

laughing so hard is an american idiom

3:28 am

sprite

is it? Oh that is nice to know!

3:28 am

westford

yes that's like ROFL

3:29 am

o-o

and connotes loud laughter

3:29 am

westford

the stomach hurting kind

3:29 am

sprite

as in dutch then. Really good to know. It is the hardest thing of all to keep british and american english apart for me!

3:31 am

sprite

so... why can't I snog someone again? I do it all the time!

3:33 am

o-o

3:33 am

sprite

3:33 am

o-o

Just1Mar

3:52 am

sprite

garlic? Who hid the garlic bread?

3:52 am

westford

I had a recipe for bagels and my cousin actually made them

3:52 am

sprite

that is so cool west! Were they good?

3:53 am

Just1Mar

well if they ain't baked in a wood burning oven they ain't real!

3:53 am

westford

these were a lot of work and didn't taste as good as the ones you can buy

3:54 am

Just1Mar

they want to ban wood burning stoves, ovens, fireplaces, etc here and the bagel purists are going nuts

3:54 am

sprite

because of the fire risks, 1Mar?

3:54 am

westford

oh for goodness sake

3:54 am

sprite

what a shame west

3:54 am

Just1Mar

for environmental issues....

3:55 am

Just1Mar

but now they're saying the ban will be for all "new" wood burning appliances...those who already have can use them!

3:55 am

sprite

how about the big factories and the trucks etc... who pollute so much more!

3:55 am

Just1Mar

phew cause we have 2 wood burning fireplaces

3:55 am

sprite

they're outta their tiny minds

3:55 am

westford

if I lived in Quebec I'd be burning furniture

3:56 am

Just1Mar

I know spritey but go tell them that, it's all politcal bullsh*t

3:56 am

elder

How will they know who has old or new ?>

3:56 am

Just1Mar

well "new" won't be allowed to be sold at all....old will be determined by the date of construction.

3:56 am

sprite

they might outlaw selling them?

3:57 am

elder

aah.

3:57 am

westford

like toilets

3:57 am

Just1Mar

eg our home is 60 years old so we'll be "allowed"

3:57 am

3:57 am

westford

3:57 am

elder

West and Spite lol

3:57 am

Just1Mar

3:58 am

sprite

wouldn't like to see the impact on the environment with outlawed toilets!

3:58 am

westford

all the new ones can only have 1.5 gallons or something like that

3:58 am

Just1Mar

Trifioso

Movieman! I have been looking for you! I have some news....

8:26 am

Trifioso

I was very inspired by your excellent bio, and decided to start off on a sort of film project of my own - I am working through a list of all those great movies everyone talks about, but I have never actually managed to see

8:26 am

movieman

Go on Trif......

8:27 am

movieman

Good idea trif.....

8:27 am

Trifioso

Started this week with Lawrence of Arabia, and found lots of lists on the Web of various organizations that put out their own Top 100 lists. Do you have one that you in particular could recommend???

8:28 am

movieman

There are loads I wish I could have seen at the cinema....Star Wars, 2001, Halloween, The Fly, Pulp Fiction.....the list is endless

8:28 am

movieman

And Terminators 1 & 2

8:29 am

Trifioso

Yes, I do realize my experience is diminished, sitting in my living room, sometimes in plain daylight, watching the films alone, but at least I am seeing them...

8:30 am

Alexis Elise

I think there's no better place to watch a movie than in your own home

8:30 am

movieman

Empire magazine did a list last year of the top 500 movies, you can find the list at their website at empireonline.com

8:30 am

Alexis Elise

Good morning everyone

8:31 am

cherlyq63

hi alexis

8:31 am

movieman

hi alexis

8:31 am

Trifioso

thanks movieman, Ireally appreciate your input! Knew there was no better person to ask than our movieman!!!

8:31 am

movieman

Always happy to help!!!!

8:31 am

hootowl

Hey Trif - if you have cable you should be able to get TCM. 95% movies, usually oldies and no commercials. Check it out

8:31 am

o-o

I missed out on Cinderella and the Golden Dentures

8:32 am

mom2han8

I know it is a cliche, but Citizen Kane... and I also love Touch of Evil and The Dark at the Top of the Stairs (all Orson Welles).

8:33 am

hootowl

One BIG advantage to watching at home is having the ability to say "I HATE THIS MOVIE" and going on to the next one.

8:33 am

movieman

continuing the movie theme, anyone here seen or planning to see 'Star Trek'?

8:33 am

Trifioso

Hi hootowl, I do have cable, but I don't think TCM is included. BOO. Don't have a Blockbuster near here either....sadder still. Luckily, my local library is linked with 25 or so others, and they have tons of DVDs to check out

8:34 am

mom2han8

Yes... can't wait!

8:34 am

Alexis Elise

My boyfriend saw Star Trek and said it was great

8:34 am

movieman

I saw it on Tuesday, and was totally blown away!!!

8:34 am

mom2han8

My husband always laughs at me, as I cannot resist good Sci-fi or a good Western!

8:34 am

hootowl

well the TCM is part of our basic. You could call and ask whoever provides for you

8:34 am

mom2han8

Saw Iron Man last week...

8:35 am

mom2han8

Trif... netflix is great also.

8:35 am

hootowl

Golden Dentures BR????

8:35 am

mom2han8

They took TCM off of our basic... now we have to have the "silver" package to get it... so I got it!

8:35 am

Trifioso

Movieman, I think Tor saw it, and he really like it!

8:36 am

hootowl

all the reviews around here have been good but I don't trust our critics

8:36 am

Alexis Elise

If you want a great movie I don't think it gets any better than The Count of Monte Cristo

8:36 am

mom2han8

Have never seen that Alexis.

8:37 am

Alexis Elise

It's so good. I didn't want to watch it cuz it sounds like a "guy movie"... but it's one of my favorites now

8:37 am

hootowl

You must remember that opinions are just that. If a reviewer says a movie is great that means it met HIS criteria. That may not be yours. Same for friends & family

8:38 am

Alexis Elise

That's true hootowl... but usually when a movie is terrible, the opinion is universal

8:38 am

mom2han8

Everyone carried on so about Iron Man, so I finally rented it (and I love Robert Downey, Jr.)... have to admit that it was a little slow in the beginning, but in the end it was alright. I guess I just expected more.

8:38 am

Alexis Elise

I started watching Showgirls the other night cuz it was on and I'd never seen it. I made it through 17 minutes (I don't know how). It was the worst piece of garbage ever made

8:39 am

mom2han8

Give me a rainy day and a couple of old Cary Grant movies and I'm a happy woman!

8:39 am

mom2han8

Luckily I missed that one, Alexis.

8:39 am

cherlyq63

I did not like the very end of movie though, thought it was dorky

8:39 am

Alexis Elise

I've never seen a Cary Grant movie

8:39 am

hootowl

that works only if you have 2-3 critics watching the same movie. Here there are 4 critics - they go to diff movies and no comparisons available

8:39 am

mom2han8

OMG... you don't know what you are missing!

8:39 am

cherlyq63

iron man I mean

8:40 am

mom2han8

My absolute favorite is one that is almost never on, called People Will Talk... way ahead of its time.

8:40 am

hootowl

well they admitted the iron man movie was a setup for the next. That'll be the true test

8:40 am

mom2han8

Yeah Cherly know whatyou mean.

8:40 am

Alexis Elise

Maybe I'll check that out

8:40 am

mom2han8

Oh, you should.

8:40 am

movieman

I personally like referring to imdb.com for movie reviews, 'cos the reviews and comments there are from ordinary folk, and not those who get paid for telling you what a film is like

8:41 am

mom2han8

The other great one is Notorious... with Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant... Hitchcock... awesome!

8:41 am

hootowl

Cary Grant - Father Goose, North by Northwest, any of the old comedies....

8:41 am

Alexis Elise

Here in Chicago we have a reviewer named Dean Richards who does his "Dean's List" reviews. I think he's always right on.

8:41 am

hootowl

any hitchcock!

8:41 am

cherlyq63

I know movieman, I always thought that about paid critics, especially if movie theaters paying them

8:42 am

movieman

How can anyone mention Hitch and not mention 'Psycho'?!!!

8:42 am

mom2han8

It seemed that Iron Man 1 was just a set-up for Iron Man 2.. LOL.

8:42 am

mom2han8

Movieman... I have never been able to get up the courage to watch Psycho... seriously I think it would scare the daylights out of me... and I need to shower in peace, LOL.

8:42 am

cherlyq63

back then actors and actresses had to build the suspense, now adays the props do it

8:42 am

Alexis Elise

Isn't Psycho kinda lame? Only one person dies... I hardly consider that a horror flick

8:43 am

Atalante

hi all :)

8:43 am

mom2han8

What was that Batman movie with Christian Bale... Batman Begins??? HATED IT!

8:43 am

Atalante

I'm still utterly in love with Watchmen

8:43 am

movieman

2 actually Alexis

8:43 am

mom2han8

Hi Ata

8:43 am

Alexis Elise

hi Atalante

8:43 am

hootowl

When you are familiar with the critic and know he likes your kibd of stuff it works. But when you are always at odds it is not helpful

8:43 am

cherlyq63

hi ata

8:43 am

Alexis Elise

good call movieman... but still

8:43 am

mom2han8

I read the reviews in The New York Times on Friday. I usually find them helpful.

8:44 am

mom2han8

I have to laugh, my kid goes to the movies way more than I do!

8:44 am

Atalante

hey MM, whats the gossip on the release date for Terminator?

8:44 am

movieman

Ah, but you also have to think about the movies that 'Psycho' influenced

8:44 am

movieman

Early next month ata

8:44 am

hootowl

Batman was fun when he was normal - now it's all dark, dark, dark. No fun

8:45 am

cherlyq63

that looks kinda good, as long as all the good parts arent already in spots

8:45 am

Atalante

really? REALLY? WOOOOOOOOT]

8:45 am

Alexis Elise

It's always funny when a movie gets bad reviews and nobody sees it in the theater, but then it becomes a massive hit. I think reviewers can prevent people from going to see really good movies

8:46 am

mom2han8

Prefer the Tim Burton Batman movies.

8:46 am

movieman

Citizen Kane was slated when it was first released

8:46 am

mom2han8

slated???

8:46 am

movieman

Given bad reviews, mom

8:46 am

mom2han8

Sorry MM never heard that term.

8:47 am

cherlyq63

yes it was said would never even get past one week

8:47 am

mom2han8

I had not seen it until about 2 years ago but I did end up liking it.

8:47 am

hootowl

I must really, really like the pb!

8:47 am

8:47 am

cherlyq63

8:47 am

movieman

You wanna set up residence there, owl?

8:48 am

mom2han8

I am so stupid, I was looking to see if it related to your last comment in some way, Hoot, LOL!

8:48 am

hootowl

why not? Then I don't have to cook:D

8:49 am

mom2han8

Last week they showed the X-Men series on FX... I really like the first 2, my daughter saw Wolverine in the movies and liked it.

8:49 am

Atalante

you might put on a bit of weight though ...

8:49 am

hootowl

nope - the older I get the harder it is for me to do 2 things at once!

8:49 am

o-o

I missed Cinderella and the Golden Parachute

cherlyq63

my daughter was not empressed, said that already knew what was going to happen from other exman movies

8:50 am

movieman

I always thought the third X-Men film was in trouble the momeny Bryan Singer decided not to direct it

8:50 am

movieman

*moment

8:50 am

Atalante

I ended up liking Wolveringe more than I thought I would

8:50 am

Atalante

*Wolverine

8:51 am

cherlyq63

she said hard to get excited since she already knew what he was going to do

8:51 am

mom2han8

They are formulaic, but usually decent... the third one was just horrible, though!

8:51 am

mom2han8

Mine is 13, so not the best critic!

8:52 am

cherlyq63

mine is too, and very opinoinated

8:52 am

8:52 am

mom2han8

I did not realize it had a different director, MM.

8:52 am

movieman

This may seem a little obsessive, but I like to collect the ticket stubs from every movie I see

8:53 am

mom2han8

I am going to rent Dark Knight this weekend.

8:53 am

movieman

Yes, mom, Singer turned it down to direct 'Superman Returns'

8:53 am

pabtrek

I do the same thing movieman

8:53 am

mom2han8

MM, my daughter does that, writes down who she went with, and puts them in her memory box.

8:53 am

Atalante

Dark Knight is great

8:53 am

mom2han8

How was that? I did not see Superman Returns.

8:53 am

mom2han8

That's what I hear ATA...

8:53 am

movieman

So Brett Ratner (director of the Rush Hour films) did it instead

8:54 am

cherlyq63

my daughter has them in her jewelry box

8:54 am

Alexis Elise

Dark Night was the first Batman movie I actually liked

8:54 am

mom2han8

I think I saw one Rush Hour film (Jackie Chan, right?). It was ok.

8:54 am

movieman

Pretty good mom, I thought Brandon Routh did a good job

8:54 am

Atalante

I saw Dark Knight in IMAX. omg. wonderful

8:54 am

mom2han8

OH, I LOVE the first two Batman movies with Michael Keaton that Tim Burton directed.

8:54 am

mom2han8

Is Brandon Routh the director? Who plays Superman?

8:55 am

Alexis Elise

I love a good IMAX movie

8:55 am

movieman

My nearest IMAX cinema is in London, over 70 miles away

8:55 am

mom2han8

IMAX makes me sick to my stomach, honestly!

8:55 am

Atalante

that's the one I saw it in :)

8:55 am

movieman

Brandon Routh played Superman, mom

8:55 am

Alexis Elise

I caught 300 on IMAX. It was very cool

8:55 am

mom2han8

There is one in NYC... 20 minutes, but I just can't stand the way it makes me feel.

8:55 am

movieman

Brett Ratner directed

8:55 am

Atalante

Came up from Kent for it

8:56 am

mom2han8

Thanks MM... never heard of him. Yes. You told me the director already, duh!

8:56 am

mom2han8

Yes... 300 looked good... but neither my husband nor my kid was interested!

8:57 am

mom2han8

I love The Mummy movies... just think the special effects are great. When I saw the trailers for The 300, it looked like the same kind of animation.

8:57 am

movieman

The cinema I go to, Cineworld in Cambridge, has started showing 3-D films, so I may go and see Coraline and Ice Age 3

8:57 am

Alexis Elise

Couldn't tell you... I never heard of the mummy movies

8:58 am

mom2han8

I watched League of Extraordinary Gentlemen the other night... loved the "toys" they had, but the movie was, well, just ordinary, LOL!

8:58 am

Pinikula

* yawn * morning all...

8:58 am

mom2han8

OMG... I really want to see Coraline.. forgot about that one!

8:58 am

Atalante

omg that film is awful

8:58 am

mom2han8

8:58 am

mom2han8

We are chatting about movies!

8:58 am

mom2han8

What movie Ata, Coraline?

8:58 am

cherlyq63

any movie with sean connery in it I love to see, but that was not my favorite

8:59 am

cherlyq63

hi pini

8:59 am

Atalante

no! League of Very Boring Gentlemen

8:59 am

mom2han8

I really love Tim Burton... thought I would hate Sweeney Todd, as they took out so many of the songs, etc... but I really liked it!

8:59 am

mom2han8

Yes Ata, I agree.

8:59 am

Uniquity

8:59 am

movieman

Alexis, I have just seen your bio, and you're the same age as me!!!

8:59 am

Atalante

its almost as bad as Van Helsing

8:59 am

mom2han8

the only thing I have to say for that movie is that I loved the way they made The Nautilus look. Very cool.

9:00 am

Atalante

UNNIIIIIIIIIIII :)

9:00 am

mom2han8

OMG... watched that last weekend, also... just really could not get into it!

9:00 am

jmcnrick

hi all

9:00 am

movieman

Van Helsing was one of those films That I got really excited about, and was badly let down by

9:00 am

mom2han8

I did not finish watching it. Really just did not "get it", I guess.

9:00 am

Soodle

Hey there - can anybody clue me for a5 - 14? Please!

9:00 am

Pinikula

some movies are all hyped up with trailers that show you the 30 seconds of the best parts, but the remainder leave much to be desired...

9:01 am

Uniquity

Didn't enjoy Van helsing..I've forgotten it, really. Not a good sign!

9:01 am

mom2han8

Does anyone know if they are making a movie of The Historian, speaking of vampires... Really great book. Spooky and scary. It would make a great movie.

9:01 am

cherlyq63

a and de 4, soodle

9:01 am

jmcnrick

hi bum!

9:01 am

Atalante

it truly was awful, apart from watching Hugh jackman's expressions when you could just see he was thinking "I have to say THAT?"

9:01 am

cherlyq63

oops de 4 6

9:01 am

Uniquity

The Historian was lovely..although I think it would translate very poorly into a movie. The psyche would be lost.

9:01 am

Soodle

Hi guys!!

9:01 am

Pinikula

thx cherly

9:02 am

mom2han8

I thought it would be a thinking person's Dracula.

9:02 am

Uniquity

I am *very* concerned about the fact that Time Traveller's WIfe is a movie. When it comes, I shan't be watching it.

9:02 am

movieman

The Historian IS being made into a movie, due for release next year

9:02 am

mom2han8

Thanks MM

9:02 am

Alexis Elise

I agree Pini... I was so mad that Baby Mama was advertised as a comedy. They used the only 5 funny scenes in the trailer

9:02 am

mom2han8

I don't know The Time Traveller's Wife. Sorry.

9:02 am

Uniquity

Hollywood needs to back off the turning books into movies. I know it has always been done, but it is happening a lot more lately. Original ideas all sold out?

9:03 am

mom2han8

there are very few good comedies, in my opinion.

9:03 am

mom2han8

I really am not a fan of the Judd Apatow stuff at all, though I loved the TV series he did, Freaks and Geeks.

9:03 am

Pinikula

stats for top left E, plz?

9:04 am

movieman

4/4 pini

9:04 am

Pinikula

thx * looking *

9:04 am

cherlyq63

e and 3 const.

9:04 am

mom2han8

Some great books make terrible movies and some so-so books make great movies. It's really all about who visualizes them.

9:04 am

movieman

I always thought the 80s were the last great decade for comedies

9:04 am

Pinikula

got it...thx ! :)

9:04 am

mom2han8

Angels and Demons comes out tomorrow.

9:04 am

Pinikula

NBT for me...

9:05 am

Atalante

some terrible books make terrible films :)

9:05 am

mom2han8

MM.. I hear ya. Nothing better than Chris Columbus!

9:05 am

mom2han8

True Ata.

9:05 am

cherlyq63

yeah pini

9:05 am

Pinikula

I rather lilke Rome's take on A&D...

9:05 am

mom2han8

Did not much like DaVinci Code.... think Tom Hanks is miscast, but I will certainly rent Angels and Demons when it comes out.

9:05 am

Alexis Elise

Stephen King short stories make wonderful movies

9:05 am

movieman

Airplane!, The Naked Gun, Big, Beetlejuice etc

9:05 am

mom2han8

Yes they do Alexis.

9:06 am

hootowl

( left and I need a break. Enjoy your movie discussion. bbl

9:06 am

Pinikula

...they're not against is cause its farfetched and non-offensive...

9:06 am

mom2han8

MM... love all of those, plus like I said... Pretty in Pink, Breakfast Club, etx.

9:06 am

movieman

later owl

9:06 am

mom2han8

bye Hoot.

9:06 am

Pinikula

hate airplane, the naked gun, enjoyed beetlejuice

9:06 am

Pinikula

how odd is that

9:06 am

kje

really - rekiss is not a word.... i beg to differ

9:07 am

mom2han8

Not odd, just your taste.

9:07 am

movieman

Sure you don't mean John Hughes, rather than Chris Columbus Mom

9:07 am

Alexis Elise

Come on movieman... what about Dumb & Dumber, Euro Trip, The Pick of Destiny... I like the more recent comedies

9:07 am

cherlyq63

by hoot

9:07 am

periwinkle

I tried that one too, kje

9:07 am

periwinkle

hello all

9:07 am

Pinikula

Drop Dead Fred was on the same lines as Beetlejuice...

9:07 am

periwinkle

love the old time movies

9:07 am

mom2han8

Look how many people liked The 40-year-old Virgin and Knocked Up.

9:07 am

Pinikula

hi peri

9:07 am

Atalante

Drop Dead Fred was great

9:07 am

periwinkle

don't see remakes. never as good

9:07 am

Pinikula

hi kje

9:07 am

Alexis Elise

I can't believe "deskier" isn't a word. My desk is way deskier than your desk.

9:07 am

mom2han8

Dumb and Dumber is one of my all time LEAST favorite movies... prefer Tommy Boy in that genre.

9:07 am

movieman

No way pini, DDF was garbage

9:07 am

Pinikula

* keeping hand down * (40yo V, etc.)

9:07 am

kje

hi pinikula pinikula pinikula

9:08 am

movieman

Too many fart and poo gags

9:08 am

periwinkle

love the Da Vinci Code book, did not like the movie at all

9:08 am

mom2han8

death to smoochie... loved that... also, Dogma!

9:08 am

movieman

Unlike Beetlejuice

9:08 am

Alexis Elise

Haha, mom. Dumb and Dumber is one of my favorite movies. I hated Tommy Boy

9:08 am

mom2han8

Fargo... really enjoyed that! But not a huge fan of other Coen Brothers movies.

9:08 am

cherlyq63

hated through momma from the train almost as much as dumb and dumber

9:08 am

Pinikula

it was probably just the timing of when it came out and the age of my kids, mm...still like the title phrase...we used it around the house jokingly

9:08 am

mom2han8

Obviously we have different taste, Alexis...that's ok!

9:08 am

movieman

Can't stand comedies with too many fart and poo gags

9:08 am

Alexis Elise

Dogma is great. Very smart. Unfortunately it was the last good movie Kevin Smith has made

9:09 am

mom2han8

Thought Throw Momma From the Train had some really beautiful, bittersweet moments... like the part with the change... actually made me cry!

9:09 am

Pinikula

I agree with you cherly!

9:09 am

mom2han8

Yes Alexis I agree. Though I liked Jersey Girl. Not terrible.

9:09 am

mom2han8

Maybe because I'm from Jersey, LOL!

9:10 am

Alexis Elise

Question for everyone: What would you say was the worst movie you have seen?

9:10 am

mom2han8

Though I don't know how they got away with using a title already used in a Jamie Gertz '80s comedy.

9:10 am

cherlyq63

my favorite movie of all times was the king and I

9:10 am

Atalante

van helsing

9:10 am

mom2han8

Hands down, The Wiz... walked out of the theater!

9:10 am

Pinikula

So, if you had to pick just 3 movies as your all-time favorites, what would you pick?

9:10 am

mom2han8

Love The King and I Cherly.

9:10 am

movieman

Worst movie for me: A Man Apart, starring Vin Diesel

9:10 am

mom2han8

Pini... don't think I could do it!

9:11 am

movieman

Impossible for me to pick just a top 3 pini

9:11 am

Alexis Elise

So far, so good. I haven't seen the Wiz or A Man Apart

9:11 am

cherlyq63

Die Hard, Independence day and The King and I

9:11 am

Uniquity

Blues Brothers...Wayne's World...Those have been favourites for most of my life, so I always think of them first.

9:12 am

mom2han8

Romantic comedy: Pretty Woman; Classic: People Will Talk; Sci-Fi: Star Wars (the original, or #4, or whatever they are calling it now).

9:12 am

movieman

But if I had to choose: Slumdog, Sin City and Pulp Fiction

9:12 am

Pinikula

I'd be curious to see what others like (so I can see if I've missed anything)...how about putting a "short list" (length of your choosing) in our profiles???

9:12 am

Alexis Elise

Best 3: The Departed, Apocalypto, Natural Born Killers... those are the first 3 that come tomind

9:12 am

movieman

Okay, A top 10:

9:12 am

movieman

Okay, A top 10:

9:12 am

mom2han8

Of course there is also ET and Bull Durham (which I just LOVE).

9:12 am

cherlyq63

9:13 am

Alexis Elise

I saw ET when I was 4 at a drive in... I don't even remember it

9:13 am

Pinikula

My list will include:
Schindler's List
Empire of the Sun

9:13 am

9:14 am

kje

stranger than fiction

9:14 am

Pinikula

Gads, what a list we're pulling together...so much diversity and lots of good movies!

9:14 am

mom2han8

Just entirely too many to pick 3,LOL!

9:14 am

Alexis Elise

Mom, the Departed is the best movie I've seen in years. I hope you like it

9:14 am

mom2han8

Ata... saw Kiki's with my daughter a couple years ago... loved it.

9:14 am

cherlyq63

9:14 am

Pinikula

Like MM said...let's put a list in our profiles?

9:14 am

Uniquity

Green Mile, O Brother Where art Thou, most tarantino films, monty pythons...

9:14 am

mom2han8

OK... going on my list... we are renting Dark Knight this weekend, so maybe I'll rent that, too!

9:15 am

mom2han8

OK... don't know if there will be enough room, LOL!

9:15 am

kje

worst movie i recently saw - the ghost of girlfriends past - i walked out

9:15 am

mom2han8

Plus now I really have to 'think'...!

9:15 am

Pinikula

* wince * uni...sorry, but I can't stand Monty Python stuff..and I'm not sure I can say exactly why... ;(

9:15 am

Uniquity

Ugh. Did not like the dark knight. Luckily I had a pass to an advanced screening so I didn't pay for it.

9:15 am

Atalante

Kiki's is possibly the cutest film ever! As are most of the other Ghibli films

9:15 am

movieman

Sin City, Slumdog, Pulp Fiction, 2001, American Werewolf in London, Shaun of the Dead, Kill Bill vol. 1, Pan's Labyrinth, RoboCop and the Fly

9:15 am

movieman

My Top 10

9:16 am

mom2han8

OMG... I loved Pan's Labyrinth... beautiful and so disturbing at the same time!

9:16 am

Alexis Elise

The difference in what the guys like v/s what the girls like is very funny

9:16 am

Atalante

And The Wall. Is that a film or a music video?

9:16 am

mom2han8

MM... slumdog millionaire or is there another slumdog?

9:16 am

mom2han8

Both Ata!

9:16 am

Uniquity

Ugh. Pink Floyd. For all the classics I love, Pink Floyd I still hate.

9:16 am

movieman

I am so glad del Toro is directing the forthcoming Hobbit films

9:17 am

Pinikula

same here uni

9:17 am

Atalante

*thwacks Uni* :)

9:17 am

movieman

Slumdog Millionaire mom

9:17 am

mom2han8

That's cause we are not stoned anymore, LOL.

9:17 am

Uniquity

Hah, Shrek! I love Shrek.

9:17 am

Pinikula

* ducking *

9:17 am

mom2han8

OK... still need to see that one.

9:17 am

Atalante

I actually hardly ever listen to Pink Floyd music, but I *adore* The Wall

9:17 am

Uniquity

*Treasures the thwack. What's this bruise on my arm?? :D

9:17 am

mom2han8

Shrek is clever.

9:18 am

mom2han8

Not a huge fan, but love Dark Side of the Moon. I mean LOVE it!

9:18 am

Pinikula

Is Marly & Me any good?

9:18 am

movieman

The special effects in The Fly are still amazing, even after nearly 25 years

9:18 am

Uniquity

A Beautiful Mind..

9:18 am

cherlyq63

marly and me is cute, thats about it

9:18 am

mom2han8

The Wall holds a special place in my heart... reminds me of freshman year in HS... riding the bus....good times.

9:19 am

Atalante

One film I truly love, though I can never say why, is Black Hawk Down

9:19 am

Atalante

me too, mom. It reminds me of university years and discovering so much

9:19 am

movieman

And Jeff Goldblum has never bettered his performance as Seth Brundle

9:19 am

Pinikula

thx cherly * that settles that *

9:19 am

mom2han8

Uni... I agree but they changed so much from what was true. I used to see that guy wandering around Princeton. He was quite the character... quite scary, too.

9:20 am

mom2han8

OMG... my husband rented Black Hawk Down and I got through the first five minutes... realized Iknew how it all came out... UGH...just could not watch it.

9:20 am

Atalante

I just loved that Orlando Bloom died in the first 2 minutes. It was amusing for a LotR fan

9:20 am

movieman

What does everyone else think about 'The Fly'?

9:20 am

Pinikula

I work on the campus where Animal House was filmed...(when I was in HS)...kinda of odd because it's a movie I probably wouldn't care about except that I can relate to alot of the things on campus...

9:21 am

mom2han8

Saving Private Ryan was also entirely too intense for me, though I made it through. It was a harrowing experience. Can't imagine having lived through it.

9:21 am

mom2han8

MM... remember loving it back in the day.

9:21 am

Alexis Elise

Anyone else here seen The Way of the Gun?

9:21 am

cherlyq63

my son liked it movieman, I never watched it

9:21 am

movieman

Jeff Goldblum should have won an oscar

9:21 am

mom2han8

No Alexis. Never even heard of it.

9:22 am

mom2han8

I like Jeff Goldblum. quirky and interesting.

9:22 am

periwinkle

help with de8 pls

9:22 am

Atalante

I liked him until Jurassic Park

9:22 am

mom2han8

He is in Law and Order now on USA on Sunday nights.

9:22 am

Alexis Elise

It's a movie not a lot of people know, even though it has huge stars in it and it's great

9:22 am

movieman

Those who want, peri

9:22 am

mom2han8

I will have to look it up... is it a western?

9:23 am

Alexis Elise

no

9:23 am

9:23 am

Atalante

BUtch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. so much love.

9:23 am

Alexis Elise

It's a new-ish movie with Benecio Del Toro, Juliette Lewis and Ryan Philippe

9:23 am

mom2han8

Ata... great movie, I agree.

9:23 am

cherlyq63

e and 3 const

9:23 am

mom2han8

OK Alexis I will have to rent it.

9:24 am

Uniquity

Wish I had grown up in the 60s/70s but so glad to have missed the drugs, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin.

9:24 am

movieman

Puulp Fiction for me, Sam Jackson is God!!!!

9:24 am

Alexis Elise

How about American History X! That's one of the greatest films ever!

9:24 am

mom2han8

The sad thing about Butch Cassidy, The Perfect Storm, Black Hawk Down, Romeo and Juliet... is that you know how they will end... you wish they could end differently.

9:24 am

Atalante

equally glad to have missed Led Zep

9:24 am

cherlyq63

I grew up in that era and missed it

9:24 am

mom2han8

Pulp Fiction was certainly groundbreaking.

9:24 am

Pinikula

same here cherly

9:25 am

cherlyq63

I was country when country wasnt cool

9:25 am

Uniquity

I like Pulp Fiction a lot, but prefer True Romance, I think.

9:25 am

Alexis Elise

Is country cool no, cherly?

9:25 am

Alexis Elise

*now

9:25 am

Pinikula

cherly, are we related...you sound just like me! country when it wasn't cool

9:25 am

mom2han8

Grew up in the 70s and didn't miss any of them, LOL! Not recommending it, though. sometimes think lucky to be alive.

9:25 am

periwinkle

two of my favorite movies: Swept Away; Harold and Maude

9:25 am

cherlyq63

it is around here lol

9:26 am

mom2han8

And still have a fair amount of brain cells intact!

9:26 am

Pinikula

here, too!

9:26 am

Alexis Elise

Haha Chrely

9:26 am

mom2han8

Have not seen harold and maude in years.

9:26 am

mom2han8

I am assuming you are talking about the original Swept Away and not the Madonna remake? Never saw either, though.

9:26 am

Alexis Elise

I'm enjoying this movie conversation... I hate to go to work. Bye everyone

9:27 am

Pinikula

have a good day, alexis...

9:27 am

cherlyq63

heck watched smokey and the bandit, and loved it

9:27 am

mom2han8

I saw a cute movie not long ago, Little Manhattan. Liked it.

9:27 am

cherly.... funny funny!

9:27 am

Pinikula

oh shoot...and thanks for the reminder...I should be getting ready to go myself...

9:27 am

periwinkle

Of course, the original Swept Away. Never watch any remakes of any movie. They are never as good

9:27 am

periwinkle

madonna is not an actress

9:27 am

cherlyq63

sleepless in seattle was good

9:28 am

mom2han8

Sometimes when they remake a sci-fi with better special effects the movie is better.

9:28 am

mom2han8

she is barely a singer, LOL.

9:28 am

periwinkle

like sleepless in seattle and ghost too

9:28 am

periwinkle

I am a romantic at heart

9:28 am

mom2han8

good movies.

9:28 am

Pinikula

Courtesy Reminder before I go...remember to put a list of your favorites in your profile somewhere so we can see what we're all missing! :)

9:28 am

Pinikula

ciao!

9:28 am

movieman

Remakes that are better than the original: The Thing, The Fly

9:28 am

mom2han8

For me, in that genre, I love Pretty Woman.

9:28 am

mom2han8

OK... will try to remember, LOL.

9:29 am

movieman

Will do pini

9:29 am

movieman

See Ya

9:29 am

Atalante

I love the anime remake of Metropolis

9:29 am

mom2han8

Yes MM absolutely.

9:29 am

cherlyq63

what was the one of the pilot that died, and came back to make sure wife was ok

9:29 am

periwinkle

I liked pretty woman and An Officer and a Gentleman

9:29 am

periwinkle

Also liked Beaches and Terms of Endearment. Like movies that make me laugh or cry

9:29 am

mom2han8

that is also a remake Cherly.

9:29 am

Uniquity

Metropolis...the revolutionary war one? That was a weird movie!

9:30 am

mom2han8

Oh yeah Peri... sometimes a good cry is in order.

9:30 am

NonoNanette

Good Morning Babblers :)

9:30 am

mom2han8

I know it is not Meet Joe Black, but that's what is sticking in my head.

9:30 am

Atalante

have you seen the original one, Uni? you should find the anime version, it's both adorable and brilliant

9:30 am

cherlyq63

suspect with cher in it was good

9:30 am

mom2han8

Was it Richard Dreyfus and John Goodman?

9:31 am

Uniquity

If we are talking about the same film, I have seen the original. I like it a lot in a weird way. It is a conflicting sort of a movie.

9:31 am

Atalante

moonstruck?

9:31 am

mom2han8

Moonstruck

9:31 am

cherlyq63

seems like richard dreyfus

9:31 am

periwinkle

I liked the original of Goodbye Girl too

9:31 am

movieman

If we're talking about Metropolis, I like the original silent version from the '20s

9:31 am

Pinikula

(had to look, cherly, it was "Always")

9:32 am

mom2han8

I saw it cherly, but cannot remember the name of it. I think the original was Spencer Tracy.

9:32 am

Pinikula

* poof *

9:32 am

Atalante

I like both versions of Metropolis, but the anime version is a good example of how a remake can be new and different and just as good

9:32 am

mom2han8

They renamed the remake, if I am not mistaken.

9:33 am

mom2han8

Yes... Always. That was it. Don't remember what the original was called.

9:33 am

movieman

Ata, the anime version was only loosely based on the original

9:33 am

cherlyq63

yes, that s it pini, good movie

9:33 am

mom2han8

Also like Pump Up the Volume and Heathers.. if you are in a Christian Slater kind of mood!

9:34 am

movieman

Always was based on a film called A Guy Named Joe

9:34 am

Uniquity

It's gorgeous outside...what am I doing in here with babble?! Tricky addiction.

9:34 am

mom2han8

Thank you MM... must be why I had Meet Joe Black in my head!

9:34 am

Atalante

yes. but it has cute anime fire engines

9:34 am

mom2han8

It

9:34 am

mom2han8

It's cloudy and chilly here today. The last couple of days were gorgeous.

9:34 am

cherlyq63

hated IT

9:35 am

mom2han8

No, that was a typo Cherly, LOL.

9:35 am

cherlyq63

almost as much as the chunky movies

9:35 am

mom2han8

Did not like "It" either.

9:35 am

Uniquity

HAH. Cute anime fire engines? Have you seen the original, Ata? I watched it for a class I took last year.

9:35 am

mom2han8

the chunky movies?

9:36 am

cherlyq63

oops typo, chucky movies

9:36 am

Atalante

yep! I love the original too. Though I think the fire engines edge out the cool biplanes

9:36 am

periwinkle

ki5 pls

9:36 am

movieman

Cherly, you mean the Child's Play films?

9:36 am

mom2han8

Oh... never saw one of them. I really am a fraidy cat. Do not like scary movies or really violent movies. Totally freak me out.

9:36 am

periwinkle

NM found it

9:36 am

Uniquity

I rarely like Stephen King movies, but I loved Misery...and Dreamcatcher.

9:36 am

cherlyq63

yes

9:37 am

cherlyq63

with the killer doll

9:37 am

Atalante

I saw Misery on stage. That was amazing

9:37 am

mom2han8

It was all I could do to sit through The Passion of the Christ and Saving Private Ryan.

9:37 am

movieman

What about The Shining, uni?

9:37 am

movieman

And Carrie?

9:37 am

mom2han8

Like Misery too

9:38 am

Uniquity

Think I've never managed to watch the whole of The Shining. Not that interested in it. Carrie was okay, but not a favourite. I prefer his early books and slightly later movies? Weird.

9:39 am

periwinkle

there was a scary movie with Robert Deniro and Dakota Fanning that was really good, don't remember the name

9:39 am

Misery on stage..that must have been graphic. I suppose most of it is from the bed, so would be easy to do.

9:42 am

I liked reading the Hannibal Lector books...VERY different ending from the movie for Hannibal. Prefered the book there.

Star Trek. Am I the only disinterested one?! I would rather watch the show than have it revived again. not that I have watched the show since I was young.

9:46 am

I never give a film the full 10 out of 10, cause in my opinion, perfection is non-existent

9:46 am

FMitch

I loved to watch the original Star Trek with my Dad

9:46 am

Uniquity

I want another X-Files movie. Not because they are of any quality at all (quite bad, really) but because it is awesome to have a new "X-File" and to see all the lovely references back to the show. And Mulder and Scully together is fun.

9:46 am

cherlyq63

I am not a treky either uni, would rather watch star wars (though getting tired of it too)

9:47 am

Atalante

I'd rather have an afternoon watching TOS than going to see the new film

9:47 am

Uniquity

I watched the one with Patrick Stewart with my Dad. Never remember what each is called.

9:47 am

FMitch

OK so if we are a tad jaded on the movie front how about books? Whats everyone reading?

9:47 am

I watched the first three Star Wars when I was much younger, and never watched any of them again. Maybe some day.

I find the most offputting thing about an eye test is when the optician approaches and looks steadily in your eyes from VERY close range.

9:57 am

Haz1558

ae5/12 is the other a word

9:58 am

You're welcome.

9:58 am

movieman

What is my missing 8 plz? I have de8, dr8x2, me8, re8, sl8

9:59 am

Uniquity

I don't like when they give you the drops so your pupils don't dilate and everything hurts when you go outside in the sun. I don't have sunglasses because I need the regular glasses and that is awful.

9:59 am

Haz1558

I've never had a bad breathed optician or anything, but it's just the intensity with which they focus on your eye. As if they've never seen anything quite so fascinating.

9:59 am

No way...if you're too surprised your pressures can be off and we have to do it again and that's no fun!

what are the drops for?

10:06 am

FMitch

We just get strapped into the chair and ahve to put up with garlic brath and torture.

10:06 am

disneyjessi

to numb your eye

10:06 am

Atalante

why would you want to numb your eye?

10:06 am

disneyjessi

it depends on what method they use to check your eye pressures. an nct test just gives you that puff of air...but a tonopen or goldmann technique we actually touch your eye

10:06 am

rururocks

what's garlic brath?

10:07 am

rururocks

angry, bratty garlic cloves?

10:07 am

Atalante

like garlic broth I'd guess

10:07 am

Haz1558

We just get the nct test. Maybe you get drops if things are more complicated.

10:07 am

stidmama

ruru, you silly boy! ((hugs)) glad you showed up while I was still here. One more word and I will head out for the moment...

10:07 am

It's several stages above garlic breath you twit :))

I'd rather just have the person touch my eye than get a numb eye!

10:08 am

10:08 am

Garlic broth will invariably lead to garlic breath.

10:08 am

you're just much tougher than most Atalante!

10:08 am

cherlyq63

10:08 am

We're a people of stiff upper lips and fairly numb eyeballs.

10:09 am

I can't imagine havinga numb eye

10:09 am

stidmama

okay, up to 103 words, down to 130, I like the balance in those numbers. Will be on later, no classes to teach or take today, just a lot of things to read (and write) and another track meet to attend, of course.

10:09 am

Uniquity

The drops i was talking about just dilate your pupils so they can see some thing or another better. No numbing!

10:09 am

Atalante

I'm just used to shoving contacts in my eyes!

10:09 am

stidmama

LOL Haz!

10:09 am

disneyjessi

since we end up having to practice on each other in tech training, it can be painful. lots of scratches on my eyes..they heal, but can be really uncomfortable.

Jacula

EvaN - noticed you're making a meal with chorizo and potato. My pic and bio show the meal I made last night. It's a family favourite.

10:52 am

Atalante

definitely no beginning

10:52 am

cybernan

ok -- conceded -- just not an expression I use, I guess

10:52 am

Atalante

so, haz, tell me all the gossip, I haven't managed to find much down here. All about the split please!

10:53 am

Haz1558

Oh come on. Don't try to tell me that you haven't been reading all the magazines and trawling the newspapers!

10:54 am

Atalante

I've been trying! The only one I saw with salacious gossip in Morrisons earlier got whisked off the shelf before I could get there

10:54 am

Haz1558

All I know is that they both say that they have split.

10:54 am

Haz1558

Oh, and that they want privacy.

10:54 am

Mary

clue for ke7/44 pls?

10:54 am

Haz1558

That made me laugh.

10:55 am

Haz1558

10:56 am

Mary

ty Haz & Cherly

10:56 am

Jacula

LOL - Ata!

10:56 am

Haz1558

It could have been 'Jordan - why didn't I thump her?'

10:56 am

Soodle

And yesterday the suns headline was "I'm Celibate - get me out of here" allegedly by Peter

10:56 am

Jacula

Good one, Haz.

10:56 am

10:56 am

Atalante

Peter Andre had fled to Cyprus

10:57 am

Haz1558

You see? You know more about this than you're letting on.

10:57 am

Atalante

she's gone to the Maldives

10:57 am

Atalante

I'm reading the sun website!

10:58 am

Atalante

SEX-starved Peter Andre demanded a divorce from riding fan Jordan in a jealous rage over his wife finding a new horsey set to hobnob with.

Raunchy snaps of her drunkenly flaunting her boobs â€” described as the â€œlast strawâ€ for Peter â€” were taken as the keen horsewoman went on the razz with her hunky DRESSAGE coach.

10:58 am

Haz1558

Dear goodness. What would Grandpa Einstein say?

10:59 am

Atalante

â€œBut that was before they had the terrible row shown on their ITV2 show last week.â€ Jordan ranted at her husband in Katie And Peter Stateside: â€œYouâ€™re a f****** knob â€” I canâ€™t stand you.

â€œNo one knows who you are. Youâ€™re an old f****** singer no one knows about.â€ He hit back by branding the mum of three a â€œstupid, miserable, arrogant cow.â€

10:59 am

Haz1558

Cows are up in protest.

11:00 am

Soodle

Doesn't it do your heart good not to be famous (ish)

12:21 pm

stidmama

I need a whole pack of DE words... *sigh*

12:22 pm

stidmama

wonderful news! I bet just having that tube out made a huge difference for him. And your mother, too.

12:22 pm

nrkii

most of the DE words are NOT like demote, decide, etc

12:23 pm

nrkii

only one block of 5 words like that

12:23 pm

stidmama

so I have found. I am stuck on the 6 de that come before the office furniture. starts with two de 6/21 in a row and then 7/7/8/7... *hopeful look* anyone want to drop a few of those in the chog?

12:23 pm

nrkii

yes, no more tubes is GOOD... next step, no more calorie counting and no more walker, but that's a ways off I think

12:24 pm

nrkii

that is the block I mentioned!

12:24 pm

nrkii

want, lust

12:24 pm

stidmama

one step at a time...

12:24 pm

stidmama

hm. *thinking*

12:24 pm

12:28 pm

nrkii

most of what I missed I should have found in the first place... just variations on words i already had

12:28 pm

stidmama

I am at 150 words now, and have to run in to the office. I rather like being able to say that... LOL even though technically I am a student employee and doing admin assistant type work it gives me a sense of purpose.

12:28 pm

nrkii

my last two were the TS words though, and those I just legitimately missed

12:29 pm

stidmama

Not that I needed more... *shrug* but soon enough I will be done with the conference planning AND the summer school classes. Looking forward to some time off in August-September!

12:29 pm

4:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

just back from the ball game. just in time, too, it's so dark i had to turn on the lights

4:41 pm

stidmama

glad you're home TO, did you have fun at the game?

4:41 pm

Kazzer99

torchwood gets better as you watch it and Captain jack gets his man

4:41 pm

stidmama

Ms mastered

4:41 pm

Atalante

yep. they don't always end happily

4:42 pm

Kazzer99

that was quick mama

4:42 pm

Atalante

in fact, they rarely end happily lol

4:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

sure did! we tailgated, spent most of the day in th eparking lot. as did my management.

4:42 pm

stidmama

ooh. got the other 9!

4:42 pm

stidmama

good for you, TO!

4:42 pm

hurshy

i mean, i accept that people will die along the way, as they do on doctor who, but, it seemed to me that in four out of the five episodes, thing either ended up the same as they would have if they'd done nothing, or worse.

YAY ZOOM!!!!!

4:43 pm

stidmama

there are two 9s. both obvious once you have their roots

4:43 pm

hurshy

whereas, with the doctor, his presence almost always makes at least some small difference.

4:43 pm

4:43 pm

Atalante

Torchwood isn't the go-getting psycho organisation it is in Dr Who

4:44 pm

Atalante

getting things back to normal is success for torchwood

4:44 pm

Kazzer99

have you seen them all ata

4:44 pm

Atalante

oh yes. many times.

4:44 pm

hurshy

doesn't really matter, of course, one is so drunk on JB's hotness that nothing seems to matter...

4:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

what is torchwood?

4:44 pm

stidmama

I think that's sort of the point. We m4 humans may be able to protect to a small extent, but it takes a Time Lord to really fix things right!

4:44 pm

Atalante

aha! a recruit to the JB fan club :)

4:45 pm

stidmama

torchwood is the first spin-off from Dr. Who!

4:45 pm

4:52 pm

Atalante

it's just an excuse for all brits to drown their sorrows at doing badly again

4:52 pm

Kazzer99

Eurovision Song Contest - 25 countries from Europe, most of the ex russian states, and countried bordering the med produce some aeful and sometimes funny songs and everybody votes for their neighbours

4:52 pm

EspritdJean

ty never heard of that word

4:52 pm

Uneaixoise

pretty cheesy too

4:52 pm

Atalante

and the eastern states always win cos they have the most neighbours

Jean, I've only seen it once before in the grid

4:53 pm

thou in our house it is policy to vote for the most outrageous song - even if we dont understand the words

4:54 pm

Kazzer99

right all i am off - got work in the morning up at 0530 Nite

4:54 pm

Haz1558

I'll confess that I don't always watch the songs - the voting is the funniest part, and the attempts by the hosts to keep the party spirit going among the contestants.

4:54 pm

GreyWoulf

*pounces herin*

Hi all!

8:19 pm

jmcnrick

hi grey!

8:19 pm

GreyWoulf

howdy jmc -- how's things?

8:19 pm

Trifioso

OH! I forgot to tell you all the big news! Primo and his gal thought he heard an "animal of some sort" creeping around in our shed the other day. I went in there today to get some food for the chickens, and there was a momma cat, curled up feeding her kittens! 4 or 5 of them I think.

8:19 pm

Uneaixoise

GW, howdy!!

8:20 pm

Uneaixoise

how sweet, trif!

8:20 pm

jmcnrick

that is either news or bad news LOL!

8:20 pm

GreyWoulf

Hey Une!

8:20 pm

herinfernallady

kittttttties

8:20 pm

Trifioso

really sweet news! They are so cute! We left some food and water for them, and left them alone. They will either be there tomorrow, or will have retreated to the woods.

8:21 pm

jmcnrick

feral cats are not a good thing imho

8:21 pm

herinfernallady

I would so try and tame mama kitty

8:21 pm

Jacula

Not if you value your skin, you won't, Herin! Hi all, btw.

8:21 pm

GreyWoulf

How sweet, Trif - most probably they will be there tomorrow, I have had several ferals around my place

8:21 pm

Uneaixoise

FIREWORDS at last -- whew! Off to finish cleaning -- my daughter and her longtime boyfriend arrive tomorrow -- wahoo!

8:22 pm

jmcnrick

whoo hoo une!

8:22 pm

Trifioso

I would like to be able to befriend the momma, so I could get her neutered, at least

8:22 pm

GreyWoulf

While the mama wasn't able to be caught, the kits were taken to a shelter as soon as they were weaned

8:22 pm

sammysmom

we think that our sammy was a feral cat

8:22 pm

herinfernallady

did you know that an unnueted cat can produce3 420 000 kittens in 7 years (if their babies had babies)

8:22 pm

jmcnrick

hi jac!

8:22 pm

Jacula

Une - can you nips round to my house with your duster and polish after? *grins*

8:22 pm

herinfernallady

Hi jac

8:22 pm

sammysmom

we got him from a group that rescues animals and finds them homes

8:22 pm

Trifioso

Yes, I would like to relocate the kittens as well, so they can be fixed also

8:23 pm

jmcnrick

my cat was a found cat too

8:23 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi Jac!

8:23 pm

Trifioso

the two kitties I have were once ferals

8:23 pm

Uneaixoise

jacs, when I finish vacuuming, it's a shower for me and total collapse! LOL

8:23 pm

Jacula

Both my cats were strays and both came to me without me looking for them.

8:23 pm

Jacula

Hi Wolfie.

8:23 pm

sammysmom

swhen we brought him home- he disappeared and we didn t see him for almost a month. he would use the litter box in the basement and would come out and eat and drink what we left him at night but wanted no contact .

8:24 pm

GreyWoulf

The worst part about the mama was that she was a gorgeous Russian Blue, and really sweet, just too wild for her own safety

8:24 pm

herinfernallady

WOlfie

8:24 pm

Jacula

Une - drat! S'pose I'LL have to do it then. *sulks*

8:24 pm

herinfernallady

oh RUssian Blues are so pretty.

8:24 pm

jmcnrick

poor jac

8:24 pm

herinfernallady

We have a part russian white here

8:25 pm

redturtlehead

hi all.

8:25 pm

Trifioso

no, jac stay!!! we love you here!

8:25 pm

Jacula

LOL - jmc. If only you meant that.:-)

8:25 pm

Jacula

Trif - it's 2.25am here, so I'm not about to start cleaning the house.

8:25 pm

sammysmom

now he demands to be petted but only by my son- and on rare occasions , me- the rest of the world he wants NOT to touch him

8:25 pm

torgone

Heyas kids ..

8:26 pm

Jacula

Hi Torg.

8:26 pm

Trifioso

hello dear tor!

8:26 pm

jmcnrick

that is my favorite time to clean

8:26 pm

jmcnrick

hi torg

8:26 pm

GreyWoulf

hi red
hi torg

8:27 pm

Jacula

Both of my cats would only stand so much petting, even if they'd requested it, before you got a warning bite on the wrist or a swipe with a sheathed claw.

8:27 pm

herinfernallady

Saammy my white kitty loves to sit by you but llordee forbid if you touch her

8:27 pm

GreyWoulf

My main cat is Twitch -- we adopted her from the local animal shelter when she was just 6 weeks old --

8:27 pm

Trifioso

were a lot of the r words here yesterday too?

8:28 pm

Trifioso

herin, how are your kitties getting along these days? still world war over yours?

8:28 pm

GreyWoulf

She was supposed to be for Kirsten, but she was so cute and tiny when she came home that I carried her around for almost a full 24 hours

8:28 pm

herinfernallady

Madam Fatty was found behind a dumpster

8:28 pm

Jacula

jmc - If I started vacuuming at this time of the morning I think the next-door neighbours might complain, not to mention my son who's also in the house with me. (Other Half is away on a course from work.)

8:29 pm

jmcnrick

I rarely use a vacuum so I am good with that

8:29 pm

GreyWoulf

As a result, Twitch so totally bonded with me that she will even come when I call her name... or at least she used to... now that she is about 10 years old, she will not always show up

8:29 pm

Jacula

Do you have hard floors rather than carpet then, jmc?

8:29 pm

herinfernallady

Trifs I had to put Lucius in time out with me in the bathroom the other day he was being such a pest. It was like that constant poking of a bratty bro

8:30 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - she might be getting a little hard of hearing? Or maybe just contrary, like old ladies are. LOL

8:30 pm

Trifioso

lol herin! but in kiddie time outs, you don't have to go WITH the violator!

8:30 pm

redturtlehead

I think I probably should not even start this biggie???

8:30 pm

herinfernallady

He was by the bathroom door so i grabbed him and turfed him in there with me. I think he was thinking o hell no you are not bathing me

8:30 pm

Trifioso

red, it's actually really easy. Words you know, not too many babblets

8:31 pm

GreyWoulf

Nah - she is just getting smart, she knows that I will sit down eventually, and then she will immediately come over and climb into my lap :-)

8:31 pm

Jacula

Red - all but about 40 words go really easily. After that, your monkeys need to be on the ball.

8:31 pm

jmcnrick

I have rugs on hardwood floors.

8:31 pm

herinfernallady

HI Red

8:31 pm

herinfernallady

Cats on hard floors are funny

8:31 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - typical feline then!

8:32 pm

jmcnrick

most of my rugs are small and washable

8:32 pm

GreyWoulf

At times, it can be quite annoying -- sometimes when I come home from work, I just want to be left alone, but she won't listen

8:32 pm

Jacula

jmc - do you take the carpets outside and beat them? It's okay to admit to cruelty to carpets.rug abuse here. You're among friends.:-)

8:32 pm

herinfernallady

I have spent the last 2 nights literally unable to move in the morning. I had Pandora on the outside and Lucius on the inside. My legs were pegged into the bed by their weight

8:33 pm

jmcnrick

no I let them take a spin in the washer

8:33 pm

Trifioso

ha ha herin! I get that when the cat is on top of the covers, and I am under them, and they sleep right behind my knees, and thus I am trapped

8:33 pm

redturtlehead

but trif, i know the babblets etwee, etui, anoa..inti...

8:34 pm

jmcnrick

*taking notes from red*

8:34 pm

GreyWoulf

I know that feeling, herin -- when I go to sleep at night I usually have one cat behind my knees, another at my head and Twitch curled up right next to me like a teddy bear -- it makes rolling over at night tricky at times

8:34 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - my surviving cat is like that. If I sit on the sofa he's there in an instant climbig all over me - and he's heavy. It wouldn't be so bad if he'd just sit down, but he kneads and paws and takes my top into his mouth and sucks it. He must've been taken from hs mother too soon.

8:34 pm

herinfernallady

Yep. I couldn't even move tuesday morning. Baked on Wednesday night as I had a double blanket over my feet and they both pegged me

8:34 pm

jmcnrick

my cat, fugitive, sleeps on top of my side when I sleep on my side

8:35 pm

Jacula

I don't allow animals in the bedroom, well, except for Other Half. LOL.

8:35 pm

Trifioso

I felt so bad the other day - YANKED the covers up in a sleepy haze, and sent one of them skyward, poor little mite!

8:35 pm

jmcnrick

no other half so the cat will have to do in the winter

8:36 pm

jmcnrick

lol trif!

8:36 pm

Jacula

Trif - pity you didn't film that. LOL

8:36 pm

Trifioso

Jac, my love, my days of filiming ANYTHING in the bedroom are long, long gone!

8:36 pm

torgone

It's ok Trifs. Cats love to fly ..

8:36 pm

herinfernallady

awwwww Wolfie that is cute. It's an issue when you have a double bed and you need a king just for the kitties

8:36 pm

Jacula

LOLOLOLOL, Trif.

8:37 pm

redturtlehead

No cats in my home.

8:37 pm

GreyWoulf

We upgraded to a queen sized bed because of the need for room, but now the cats have grown up and they are big enough that next time I will have to get the king!

8:38 pm

GreyWoulf

Is that a good thing or a bad thing, red?

8:38 pm

Trifioso

besides, what should have been captured on film was me this afternoon - I was just about to step in the shower, when I remembered I needed to take my medicine.So I went to the bathroom cabinet, but it wasn't in there. Then I remembered it was in my purse. Went downstairs, and then remembered my purse was in the car, in the driveway. So I ran out to get my purse. Now read the first sentence of this paragraph again! The clue to why this was worth filming is in there!

8:38 pm

Jacula

Trif - you're 9 years' younger than me and have the same amount of kids. So, no excuse. Get filming. LOL

8:39 pm

Jacula

LOL, Trif.

8:39 pm

Trifioso

Um, don't have a person in there to film with.....

8:39 pm

torgone

Would have liked to see that ..

8:39 pm

kadresa

Can't wait to see that photo in the "Around Town" section of the Clipper Trif!

8:39 pm

Jacula

Trif - oh.:-(

8:39 pm

Trifioso

LOL!!! It 's the Mariner here in Norwell...btw, I just saw a trailer for your husband's new movie on TV

8:40 pm

redturtlehead

I am allergic-ish and not a big cat fan. My mother is a cat lady though.

8:40 pm

GreyWoulf

That's cool, red - what kind of pet do you prefer?

8:40 pm

Trifioso

I was hoping the oil man might come down the drive, but to no avail....

8:41 pm

Trifioso

some unwitting Witnesses come to visit might have been fun too....

8:41 pm

redturtlehead

I have a dog and several fo the fish pictured in my icon.

8:41 pm

kadresa

Trif...remember when Mom was sunbathing and the milk man came to deliver the milk?

8:41 pm

Jacula

I'm a dog lover really, but haven't had a dog since the awful trauma of having to take my 18-yr-old dog to be put to sleep. Since that time, cats have sought me out. In fact, cats have always sought me out since childhood - probably 'cos I don't over-fuss them.

8:42 pm

herinfernallady

sorry about that

8:42 pm

Trifioso

YES!!! And then she had to lay there in abject silence while he sat and perused her paper in the kitchen!!! I had forgotten that, thanks for the memory!

8:42 pm

GreyWoulf

Nice, red -- my daughter has been asking us for a fish since Xmas - since she turns 6 in August we are thinking we will get her one then

8:42 pm

Jacula

I'm considering getting 3 or 4 chickens, a particular breed which lay very tasty eggs. However, there are so many foxes around here, I'm not sure I should.

8:43 pm

jmcnrick

I liked this conversation I was beginning to think there were only dogs on the chog

8:43 pm

Trifioso

Jac, what breed are you considering?

8:43 pm

Jacula

Burford Browns, Trif.

8:44 pm

redturtlehead

A nice idea Grey, a nice fancy Betta in a 5 gallon tank would make a pretty gift.

8:44 pm

Trifioso

We have a lot of foxes around here, and we haven't had any chicken problems with them. I absolutely vote for chickens. they are AWESOME

8:44 pm

GreyWoulf

best part of the chog, jmc -- the infinite variety of conversation!

8:45 pm

jmcnrick

there is a move to allow chickens in Center City Philadelphia

8:45 pm

Trifioso

We did sink chicken wire into the ground around their pen, so no burrowing under!

8:45 pm

jmcnrick

inde** Grey!

8:46 pm

GreyWoulf

That is pretty much what we were thinking, red -- we are just trying to figure out where we can safely put the tank -- need to be able to keep it safe from cats and the little brother, but still be accessible for her to take care of

8:46 pm

Jacula

I probably will get some eventually, Trif. I like to re4 up on animals first before I get them, to be absolutely certain I know how to look after them. I've looked after chickens in the past as a child, but I think, as an adult, I need a little more info.

8:47 pm

Trifioso

I highly recommend the chicken articles on the Organic Gardening website, if they are still up. That's how we got started. Also, the Blue Seal feed company has an excellent, comprehensive booklet that is invaluable.

8:48 pm

redturtlehead

Gray there are these new Cube tanks that have tops to them.

8:48 pm

herinfernallady

Sorry again. I have to sort this out back in a sec

8:48 pm

redturtlehead

I had Banty hens as a child, they never laid because my Sister and I tormented them....We liked to see them attempt to fly, sad to admit that.

8:48 pm

Jacula

Trif - that usually works, since foxes always dig straight down. However, taking the top 6 inches of soil out of the run and laying wired together chain link fencing, then putting the soil back, also helps. So I have re4. Also, you need a strong mesh roof on the run or it must be at least 8 feet high if no roof. Foxes can easily clear a 5 or 6 foot fence, especially if there's anything nearby to spring off.

8:49 pm

GreyWoulf

How pricy do they run, red?

8:51 pm

Jacula

Red - a bit pointless having hens that don't lay. Did they end up in the pot?

8:51 pm

Jacula

Trif - any problems with red spider mite in the hen house?

8:52 pm

Trifioso

Haven't ever noticed any, and I keep the place really clean

8:53 pm

Trifioso

Jac, we used an old wooden swing set to make the run for the hens. We butted it up against their house, made little door from the house to the pen, then wrapped the entire swingset frame in chicken wire, which then went under the ground. Worked really well.

8:53 pm

redturtlehead

Grey, theres a little 3 gallon that comes with a filter on Sale at Fosters and Smith for about 40.00 the filter will help keep it cleaner and easier for your daughter.

8:53 pm

rururocks

kind of a gym for chickens?

8:54 pm

Jacula

The only thing that's putting me off, apart from the fox menace, is the thought of scraping crappy perches. I remember having that job as a child. The dust (which we know know is lethal) got up my nose and I got bitten to death by hen fleas.

8:54 pm

Trifioso

I also let them out to free range if i am working in the garden, and they do a great job keeping grubs and such out of the garden, and fertilizing my lawn, not to mention aerating with their claws. Lovely, useful girls!

8:54 pm

Jacula

Trif - do they wreck your flower beds?

8:55 pm

GreyWoulf

I will look into it, red -- I still have some time to decide how we are going to do this -- thanks for the insight

8:55 pm

Trifioso

Geesh, I breathe the dust - didn't know it was lethal! Oh dear.

8:55 pm

Minveryork

A grid this big and nobody is asking for clues. Oh my!

8:55 pm

Minveryork

Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?

8:55 pm

Trifioso

Yes, they occasionally get a little over zealous in their scritching, but nothing a quick tap down doesn't fix

8:55 pm

Minveryork

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

8:55 pm

jmcnrick

hi min!

8:55 pm

Jacula

Trif - yes! You can get psitticosis (a lung disease) from it.

8:56 pm

Jacula

Hi Min. We're too busy talking about animals.

8:56 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi MIn -- just started working with the list, and am busy just chatting right now

8:56 pm

redturtlehead

Fish are wierd, they are pretty easy to keep as long as you follow some simple rules. but, sometimes all things go crazily wrong, because yo uare providing everything like even the air, for them....

8:56 pm

Trifioso

OMG - anyone watching Grey's???

8:56 pm

Minveryork

I just opened list at 117 words left to go.Won't finish

8:56 pm

Jacula

Trif - a quick tap down? Of the hens or the plants??

8:56 pm

Trifioso

oh dear jacula - will have to look that up!

8:57 pm

Trifioso

the plants, ha ha ha

8:57 pm

Jacula

Not watching tv, Trif.

8:57 pm

redturtlehead

I have 161....and I think soon I have to sleep, training tomorro.

8:58 pm

Jacula

Red - I found fish one of the most work-making pets my kids kept. All that tank cleaning was worse than hutch and cage cleaning.

8:58 pm

Trifioso

I really love having them, jac....

8:58 pm

Jacula

*Loses image of Trif whacking chickens.*

8:58 pm

redturtlehead

Once you get a tank really established, its easier, but...I have to admit it can be a drag. I;m just getting my 55 gallon going and its still not that easy.

8:59 pm

jmcnrick

min I need a clue!

8:59 pm

Jacula

Thanks for the info and help, Trif. I may be back for more if/when I get my hens. There won't be a cockerel 'cos I'd wring it's neck the very first time it woke me a dawn, LOL.

8:59 pm

9:05 pm

9:21 pm

jmcnrick

9:22 pm

Jacula

Welki - the ke is not to over cook the egg in the first place and then not to overcook the sausagemeat wrapping.

9:22 pm

Jacula

Herin - I found that to be all too true when I worked outside the home.

9:27 pm

Jacula

That's cheating, Pink! LOL

9:27 pm

jmcnrick

*slipping valium in bananas for pini's monkeys*

9:27 pm

PAV3

thanks Pini...now please use them in a sentence, because my PEA brain doesn't know when I could/should/would use them in a conversation...Babble isn't a coversational challenge, although some words may be stretching the use of English language a bit....just kiddin! ooh, may I have a banaanana?

9:27 pm

Pinikula

* blink * it is???

9:27 pm

Shirlockc

sk8?

9:27 pm

Jacula

jmc - that is cheating worse.

9:27 pm

jmcnrick

lol!

9:28 pm

Pinikula

What, Pav? You want ME to use them in a sentence...* wince * not sure I can! Wouldn't have a clue where to start!!!!

9:28 pm

Pinikula

sk8 = sk(raw)b***** (not blue or rasp)

9:29 pm

Shirlockc

thx pini

9:29 pm

Jacula

sk88 = small rocky islands. Rhymes, as Haz said earlier, with an Irish county pluralled.

9:29 pm

Pinikula

...and, no, I won't use that one in a sentence either!!! Pththt LOL

9:29 pm

jesdraggon

boo. "eeked" is absolutely a word. its what the cartoon girl did when she saw the mouse.

9:29 pm

PAV3

LOL! see Pini,,,my eyes don't see the words unless I know I can use them in a sentence...hence my problem with finding words...I'm learning new ones all the time here...

9:29 pm

Shirlockc

i learned a new word the other day "otiose" -- been using it to describe certain people at work

9:30 pm

Pinikula

aren't we all, Pav!!!! LOL

9:30 pm

Jacula

LOL, Jess, and hello.

9:30 pm

Pinikula

gosh, shirl, thought you were saying "goodbye" adios / otiose...sounds the same to me! LOL

9:30 pm

PAV3

I'm with you Jes!

9:31 pm

Pinikula

I need 1 more A (have a5, 6)

9:31 pm

Pinikula

er...make that ad5,6

9:31 pm

PAV3

on to the L's and M's ...ad5 and ad6 (pl) and ae5 12

9:32 pm

Jacula

oleagenous is a good word for describing people you don't take to. It means 'oily' or 'sleek'. Would have been good to describe the spivs back in WW2 or care salesemen, insurance agents, solicitors, lawyers etc.

9:32 pm

Pinikula

* looking for ae5 *

9:32 pm

Shirlockc

a+ de4/6

9:32 pm

jmcnrick

me too pini

9:33 pm

Jacula

ae5 = ae + *** res (estate agent/real estate agent speak for desirab;e residence.)

9:33 pm

dcseain

are those SM words variants on the I vowel with those consonants?

9:33 pm

PAV3

ooh , Jac nice one....will have to write that one down....prefectly describes my nemesis at work...avoid her at all costs!

9:33 pm

Shirlockc

use the high score letter dc

9:33 pm

dcseain

ae5 - mosquito

9:33 pm

Pinikula

got it, jac...thx

9:33 pm

dcseain

oh, ifound them all shirlock, just found the vowel odd

9:34 pm

Jacula

sm5 sounds like an oily grin but with a different vowel. sm7 is past te5 amf se6 is present te5.

9:34 pm

PAV3

wonder if that's a similar root for oleanders....

9:34 pm

Pinikula

are there just the 2 sm's? (5 and 7)?

9:35 pm

jmcnrick

hmmm I clearer don't speak real estate

9:35 pm

jmcnrick

sm6

9:35 pm

Pinikula

thx jmc

9:35 pm

PAV3

jmc...teacher ai5...only change the i to an e

9:35 pm

Pinikula

you can monkey it, jmc...not too hard...

9:35 pm

Jacula

sm6 is the plural

9:36 pm

jmcnrick

I can't believe I am having trouble following the plot of a hugh grant movie

9:36 pm

jmcnrick

lord someday I will get an ae word without a clue!

9:36 pm

Jacula

jmc - you can't Babble AND watch a film.

9:37 pm

PAV3

I've learned to look for aero...

9:37 pm

jmcnrick

I do all the time jac!

9:37 pm

jmcnrick

maybe that is why I am not fast!

9:37 pm

Pinikula

me, too, pav...too bad there's no O!

9:37 pm

dcseain

where's a skein when you need one

9:37 pm

Jacula

But aero isn't in this grid, PAV.

9:38 pm

Pinikula

it's a phantom today, dc

9:38 pm

jmcnrick

or a skirt dc

9:38 pm

Jacula

So do I, jmc, but you can't concentrate properly on the film and so you end up wondering wht the hell's going on.

9:38 pm

dcseain

or a didgeridoo for that matter

9:38 pm

quail

there is an sm6

9:38 pm

jmcnrick

normally that is not a problem with love movies

9:38 pm

Pinikula
