Back for a minute while Walter contemplates his breakfast choices. Too bad I don't feel well; nice day, boy not in school, lots of things we COULD do.... Oh well, we'll hit the smallest zoo in Europe on Friday; it's about 20 minutes from here by bike.

1:20 am

westford

1:20 am

MonkeyGames

I'll be fine. It's a bacterial throat infection like the one I had in March, and I was able to recognize it and head in to the doc before it got as bad as that oine-- but the antibiotics are keeping me near the smallest room in the house, sadly.

1:20 am

MonkeyGames

Maybe Walter would like to go out on the deck later and build something.

1:21 am

herinfernallady

opps I just realised I was on the phone for an hour and a half

1:21 am

jillibus

1:21 am

rururocks

1:21 am

herinfernallady

yep

1:21 am

cybernan

acai is a word -- I drink green tea & acai berry all the time

1:22 am

MonkeyGames

Sigh-- just had to have the talk again about just because something DOES fit somewhere (in this case a large marble and one of the hollow support strusts of his climbing structure) doesn't mean we have to PUT it there.

1:22 am

MonkeyGames

Jilli, I will be having yoghurt for breakfast and getting some high-powered flora replacer when we shop (supermarket is across the street so I should make it through that trip).

1:22 am

rururocks

anything to do with green tea is not in enable...

1:23 am

cybernan

lol ruru

1:23 am

MonkeyGames

And yet the Japanese seaweed works. Enable is weird.

1:23 am

jillibus

1:24 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks, Jilli, and sleep well!

1:24 am

since i crushed my heel I have lost 15lbs westie....mostly because if you feel like "noshing" the trouble and time it takes to procure the "noshes" isn't worth it

1:44 am

mrpresident

i often wonder where all the skin goes from the 'greatest loser' when they lose half their body weight

1:44 am

Just1Mar

stomach shrinks, and then you can't eat nearly what you used to so like a cycle...

one o word to go...

6:46 am

herinfernallady

Ok. I am used to seeing the bokans *pardon my spelling*

6:47 am

Merk

But shouldn't that be the oriental or Japanese art of nose folding?

6:47 am

Merk

Once I got it, I loved it. Wtg, Carlee! Thanx

6:47 am

carleekat

( I figured the "ori" of oriental" might give too much away....so went with artisitc )

6:47 am

bichon

Sorry, too dense to get it. is there an anagram of nose in it?

6:49 am

bichon

Whoa, got it. Bizarro

6:49 am

lynxxx

a 5 letter word relating to the nose Bichon

6:50 am

Merk

I guess we could say Asian, Chinese or Japanese because they all have that paper folding

6:51 am

lynxxx

all called the same Merk?

6:51 am

carleekat

but ...it is artistic...I collect camels....a paper folder made me a camel....I have it framed in a shadow box

6:53 am

herinfernallady

err i hit a wall again at 72

6:54 am

Merk

That's funny because I go to China all the time, but I'm not sure if that is what it is called there. It's what Americans call it all over Asia, but I'm not sure of the Japanese, Chinese, Korean, etc.

6:55 am

herinfernallady

hi anyone i missed

6:56 am

Merk

My son used to do it when he dated a Japanese foreign exchange student and everytime he made one, I set it aside. Now I haven't the heart to toss them.

6:58 am

lynxxx

I can lend you Stew for a bit if you like. I had one my daughter made for at least 8 years...he was fascinated and eventually ate it! I should have framed it like Carlee did

7:02 am

herinfernallady

7:02 am

carleekat

i THINK it would look better if she prints it all out by hand...with gel pens,,,,

7:02 am

Some odd words today, but the grid is not driving me crazy like yesterday ... fewer wrong turns.

I was at the school the other day and saw the teacher... I was like, "WTH"..... so, finally I just said, listen, I don't normally do my kid's homework, but this is just so ridiculous that I am going to do it, LOL! She has to write a resume, which is fine, but he has all these crazy rules; made them take a careeer aptitude test, so they have to use that career, wants the resume to look like one for that career, etc... grading them on layout, design, etc...

7:17 am

mom2han8

Carlee... if my kid came out having been preached just abstinence I would have a cow!

7:17 am

Sorry, missed the first post on that! I see what you are saying.

7:21 am

herinfernallady

one thing at a time. Mom i have a 50 % assignment due we have had 4 months to do it and ten to one on tueday people will freak out and have a melt down

7:21 am

mom2han8

Again, not a bad time in life to explore where your innate abilities may lead you, but they are not actually applying for a job... nor do they understand what kind of experience a first-year lawyer needs to obtain a job (that's the career my kid got)... nor was it explained to them... that's all I'm saying. If you are going to assign something TEACH them about it, LOL!

7:21 am

mom2han8

Oh, of course herin... that always happens.

7:22 am

mom2han8

No, these girls have been getting the assignment in increments and have been good about doing them on time... like I said, they are not actually applying for positions as, say, newspaper editor, LOL!

7:22 am

herinfernallady

First year lawyer? Has she looked at Harvard?

7:23 am

mom2han8

Anyway, I took a number of resumes off the net, samples and such, and had to explain why the experience in school and in the volunteer work some of them did was relevant, etc...

7:23 am

carleekat

that is my issue with this crapbooking thing..they not learning anything..if they said..10 pages..and for each page do in a style of art...

7:23 am

mom2han8

Oh, of course, herin! No, I had her "fake" go to Columbia!

7:24 am

mom2han8

Right Carlee, I hear ya...

7:24 am

herinfernallady

:D ok I would rather choose Harvard.

7:24 am

carleekat

this thing..they just crapbooking about their lives...

7:24 am

mom2han8

So, the best is... she turned it in yesterday and he had the nerve to say to her.... Oh, this looks too nice! UGH!

7:24 am

mom2han8

Well, if I'm dreaming then she would only be right across the river, could still live home, LOL!

7:25 am

mom2han8

Oh yes... that would drive me mad Carlee!

7:25 am

herinfernallady

That is a good idea Carlee. IT seems to me that you just can't win sometimes. I am dealing with right morons and i did not win an award and it really shits me that i did the work

7:25 am

mom2han8

That stinks herin.

7:26 am

herinfernallady

what can you do. It doesn't work when its a sodding popularity contest.

7:26 am

carleekat

oh well..live goes on.....and once it is done...we can look back at the very least and say how much fun we had...hating crapbooking...as we are having fun with it..but we just are not "into " it

7:27 am

carleekat

i only have words from a-h to go and I STILLhave 54 words to go

7:29 am

mom2han8

I was telling my daughter a story about my 8th grade social studies project the other day... we had to do maps of each continent... certain criteria, etc... there are STILL things that I remember about geography, etc. because of that project. So, they are not all stupid, LOL!

7:30 am

kim m

morning...di clue pls?

7:31 am

mom2han8

I am not into scrapbooking. Not really crafty... but am currently trying to organize my photos online... and flickr has scrapbooking pages that you can put together digitally.. I was thinking about doing something now that I know how to use flickr... even got some pics on my profile recently... yay for me, LOL.

7:32 am

robbie09

my nephew just graduated from Duke (Law) , and he was told "don't expect to find a job until next March"...my suggestion for a recent law graduate is to get a job as an ADA at the district attorney's office. on a resume an inexperienced person should write down projects and volunteer work they have done while in school....I think it is good to take assignments seriously. Talking to a lawyer would be a good idea.

7:32 am

carleekat

ahhh..the pics JUST arrived

7:32 am

mom2han8

Have fun!

7:33 am

7:34 am

robbie09

sounds like you are a good and caring mom!

7:34 am

mom2han8

And I am generally the type of parent who does not help with homework on any great level.

7:34 am

mom2han8

Not in the running for Mother of the Year or anything, but I try, LOL.

7:35 am

mom2han8

I always say that I went to 17th grade, so she needs to do the work herself. I just find more and more they give these assignment with tons of parameters but without any real direction, which is what we pay them to do... direct them. Know what I mean?

7:36 am

kim m

thanks colluder...done

7:36 am

mom2han8

good for you KIM.

Well we don't "pay", per se, here... but over 60% of our property tax dollars fund the schools.

7:51 am

mom2han8

FM... what is that American? Over 10K, right? That's about what private secondary schools here run!

7:54 am

mom2han8

Private secondary schools here in the Northeast, US are over 10,000 USD/year, which is just crazy to me. Our state university costs less if you are a NJ resident (and that is with room and board)!

7:54 am

Soodle

Why are there so many celtic crosses in the pics today?

7:55 am

Colluder

today is a day of irish prayer

Really colluder... thanks! May the road rise to meet you!

7:55 am

Because that is the suggested theme for today soodle.

7:55 am

herinfernallady

what bugs me about that is private schools are private and then you get people complaining they are too high in costs when they are let to do as they please

Really? And where do you see what the suggested theme is? soz - I'm realatively new here

7:56 am

Soodle you can check out and suggest themes by looking at sprites bio by going to rankings.

Here's to me. If by chance we disagree... f*ck you. Here's to me.

7:58 am

mom - the schooling system is a lottery depending on where you live and what the catchment area is like.
Personally I dont have kids so I am not up on all the ins and outs of it but from what I read it is a nightmare!

7:58 am

herinfernallady

Sadly one of our grandest schools has been compulsory obtained land for the widdenin of the road

Feel sorry for those who have to sacrafice to put their kids in private school. Lot of that going around here in Delaware. Public schools are horrible. Glad I don't have kids - don't have to deal with it.

8:01 am

mom2han8

I really am a firm believer in public education. Being involved does help, that I can tell you for certain. You have to step up, go to meetings, serve on boards, etc... but it is worth it if you can exact some real positive change... which I think I did on some level when I served on the Board of Ed.

8:01 am

Judi

It is strange, mom2. Just over the line in PA, the schools are great. Maryland and Jersey also good. Pay is lousy for teachers everywhere. I think that's why the public school system here is low-ranking.

8:02 am

8:04 am

makes a huge difference, eh, mom?

8:04 am

mom2han8

We cap out at 92K/year.... and that is without a high school... not too shabby.

8:04 am

Judi

That's good, mom2. As a whole,though, teacher salaries in the US are not admirable.

8:04 am

mom2han8

yes. One less thing to worry about!

8:37 am

crosshair

8:37 am

Anniebrook

It is that kind of grid, mom

8:37 am

o-o

maybe an am 4/6 for the kits

8:38 am

Trifioso

there are five kittens. They are really cute, but really, really need to be moving on.

8:39 am

mom2han8

Oh, I am sure they are too cute.

8:39 am

Judi

Are you trying to sell them or give them away, Trif? (And, no - I don't want any of them.) :))

8:39 am

robbie09

already have a cat;)

8:39 am

crosshair

there are so many pound kittens up for adoption(last cound i heard was 450) than most in this area try to avoid massive litters of kittens;/

8:39 am

Trifioso

with the two we already have, makes SEVEN, and I am allergic to cats anyway

8:39 am

Trifioso

happy to give them away

8:40 am

mom2han8

We have a woman in town that does cat rescue... maybe someone like that in your area??

8:40 am

Trifioso

we have several rescue operations near here, and all are full up. I am trying to befriend the mom cat, who still lives in the woods nearby, to get her spayed, but I despair of catching her.

8:41 am

mom2han8

Yeah... they are tough those woods cats.

8:41 am

robbie09

try a trap tri..often works for feral cats

8:41 am

mom2han8

I know... that's how I got mine.

8:41 am

crosshair

it is hard trif,we set up live traps and have a local vet who will defer the bill for spay or neutering

8:42 am

robbie09

you can often borrow traps

8:42 am

crosshair

here to local humane society will loan out thier live traps for free to local residents

8:43 am

Trifioso

yes, will probably have to resort to that. I fear she has moved on from the shed, now that the kittens aren't there anymore.

8:44 am

robbie09

that is so nice of you to try and spay that cat! hope you see her again.

8:44 am

scribekd

Trifioso-i bought an old playpen in my carport & put the mom & kittens in that while they were young-the mom could get out for food & water but for a while the kittens could not-then i didn't have to care for the kittens until they were older

8:44 am

Trifioso

lol...thanks for the compliment robbie, but put it down more to me loving my sleepy time!

8:45 am

scribekd

then i was able to get them adopted & the feral mom was more used to me & i could trap her

8:45 am

Trifioso

that was very clever, scribe!!!

8:45 am

mom2han8

The problem is that often once you have touched the kittens the Mom won't have anything to do with them anymore... that's what happened to us.

8:45 am

mom2han8

That is clever!

8:46 am

Trifioso

these kittens are all weaned and using the litter box and all. They just need to be moving on now

8:46 am

scribekd

thanks-i just wanted to give them all a chance i had 2 old cats in my house & couldn't bring the kittens inside

8:47 am

Trifioso

lawd, but they are funny! yesterday they unwound all the tissue off the loo roll, and they are in there now, gamboling around and having a fine old time

8:47 am

mom2han8

Oh yeah, Trif... mine was still wet,literally had to bottle feed him.

8:47 am

mom2han8

Yes, but 5 of them can do quite the damage, LOL.

8:47 am

mom2han8

there were 2, but one did not survive... that's how young they were.

8:48 am

Trifioso

we did do that at first, with sharp-less syringes, until it became obvious they were able to eat on their own

8:48 am

Judi

There ya go, Trif. Just keep them locked in the bathroom with lots of TP.

8:48 am

Trifioso

I do keep them shut in there - with two other cats, a dog and a house bunny on site it is safer for all that way!

8:49 am

mom2han8

My then 3-year-old had taken them out of the garage to "play house" with them... once I realized what she had done I had no choice but to take them in... left them alone initially, but the mother would no longer feed them once they had my daughter's scent on them, I guess. So the cat rescue lady up the street told me what to do and I did it...

8:49 am

mom2han8

But, yeah, they were more work than a human baby, LOL!

8:50 am

scribekd

try giving the kittens a marshmallow-they can swat until it gets sticky then lick their paws

8:50 am

mom2han8

My cat LOVES marshmallows... even at 10 years old!

8:50 am

mom2han8

He never eats them, just plays with one forever!

8:50 am

Trifioso

lol

8:51 am

scribekd

it is a hoot to watch them try to get that little white thing

8:51 am

Trifioso

I fear diggity would make quick work of that!

8:51 am

mom2han8

alright... bbl... must do something productive today!

8:52 am

9:01 am

Atalante

this is not meant to you make you sound old, Haz , but do you remember Bluebird and Donald Campbell?

9:02 am

Uniquity

**Giant smug Ata-sized hugs**

9:02 am

Atalante

uniiiiii!

9:02 am

Haz1558

I remember the story, not sure if I remember viewing at the time.

9:02 am

Uniquity

Oh. My hippo may be behind the times. What theme for today?

9:03 am

Haz1558

It may be celtic crosses.

9:03 am

Atalante

I can't decide whether it's sad or wonderful that they will be running Bluebird on Consiton Water again

9:05 am

Haz1558

Sad from Coniston's point of view or the running of the Bluebird itself?

9:06 am

grant

Anyone got a clue for lo6?

9:07 am

Haz1558

lo6 - add to the Scottish lake

9:07 am

Atalante

I'm not really sure. Sad because it was a grave, and some things should be left in peace. Wonderful because it's not just a grave any more and can be shown off to the world. It's a strange thing

9:07 am

Haz1558

Or to the Scottish lake add first letters of Scotland's saint.

9:07 am

Uniquity

I've just watched a video of Hobbit rolling in dead crow..I knew I smelled something icky.

9:07 am

9:07 am

Haz1558

I take it the family have been consulted?

9:08 am

great clue haz

9:08 am

Atalante

oh yes, it's his daughter that's behind the whole thing

9:08 am

Haz1558

Thanks, grant, glad it worked.

9:08 am

Atalante

lmao. I'm sorry that you saw that. It was an example of how FOUL dogs are

9:11 am

Uniquity

It was hilarious! I had no clue what she was rolling on at first, then the drama about whether or not it had a head..

9:12 am

Atalante

*grins* she was having fun, wasn't she!!

9:13 am

torgone

This grid is a sh4/6 ..

9:13 am

Uniquity

I've got 56 words. I feel this ought to be enough.

9:13 am

Haz1558

Enjoying it that much, torgone?

9:14 am

grant

Also need sh6, if poss.

9:14 am

Atalante

it was just when the crow stuck to her that it became rather more horror-flick time LOL

9:14 am

EvaNadine

mornin babblers!

9:14 am

torgone

Not much fun at first blush ..

9:15 am

Haz1558

sh6 - adds the simile word to the end of sh4/6

9:15 am

Uniquity

Oh my...I laughed SO hard when it stuck to her! I would have had to lead her away at that point, I think.

9:15 am

robbie09

hi Eva

9:15 am

Haz1558

Hello EvaN!

9:15 am

Atalante

I did very shortly after the vid ended! *then* I burst out laughing

9:16 am

Uniquity

Hi Eva!

9:16 am

Thanks, Haz

9:16 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

9:17 am

9:19 am

Haz1558

Good training for the cliffs of Sark.

9:20 am

robbie09

brb..taking a break..happy babbling

9:20 am

Atalante

you think Sark will survive Hobbit and Oscar together?

9:20 am

Haz1558

Bye robbie.

9:20 am

Uniquity

The crows won't!

9:21 am

Atalante

certainly not!

9:21 am

Haz1558

I have my doubts, Ata.

9:21 am

Atalante

could any spaniel be any more undignified?

9:21 am

Atalante

I do too ...

9:22 am

Uniquity

You've never met Sadie. She is four (I think) and still pees on things. That is reprehensible training though, IMO.

9:23 am

grant

Last but not least, ha6?

9:23 am

Atalante

oh dear ... yes. that's either bladder problems, total idiocy, or bad owners!

9:23 am

Haz1558

ha6 -to cause annoyance

9:24 am

Haz1558

ha6 - to cause annoyance in a persistently abusive sort of way.

9:24 am

Atalante

like a dog who wishes to perambulate

9:26 am

AsGreen

btw, some how licketys program disappeared from my computer. I've emailed him to resend but haven't gotten it - any ideas on that too?

9:26 am

Uniquity

Do you not have the original e-mail still, asgreen?

9:26 am

Haz1558

No help on either point, As, sorry!

9:27 am

AsGreen

I don't think I do Uni - lemme check

9:27 am

Anniebrook

Uniquity

Does the sa7 build off the beachy 4?

9:31 am

torgone

9:44 am

inge

last word, as 5/10, first of the as words? I find today;s puzzle harder than usual, or I am simply not with it

9:45 am

Erda

Either I am exceptionally dense today or this is an exceptionally tough grid...

9:45 am

Vicuna

This is not a grid that flows.

9:45 am

Haz1558

ch6/24 - rhymes with Miss Lumley, formerly Perdy in The New Avengers, or Patsy in Ab Fab.

9:45 am

Haz1558

as5/10 - as plus the King and I's governess, minus the double consonant

9:45 am

Erda

Hi Haz

Deeha

9:48 am

Vicuna

Yay for Haz's shredder!

9:49 am

Vicuna

Everyone keep your fingers well back from Haz!

9:49 am

9:49 am

Erda

Finally got the ch6, having tried all combinations....

9:49 am

Deeha

Mine goes on my compost heap

9:49 am

Vicuna

Now we just need some party hats.

9:50 am

Haz1558

Good for you, Erda, it's not a word I like much.

9:50 am

Erda

Belated thank you, Haz!

9:50 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Erda.

9:51 am

Haz1558

9:52 am

Vicuna

Hmmm... *fiddles about with some of Haz's paper scraps before giving up in disgust, covered with glue and tape*

9:53 am

FMitch

Someone said Party?? *opens up the PB bar*

9:53 am

9:53 am

Good to see you Liz, missed yo ubut understand why you haven't been around.
Can't wait to see pics after yu and Ata get together!

9:58 am

A good attempt, VI, but back to the drawing board, I think.

9:58 am

Lizsark

Do you think there's any chance of chaos??? Surely not!

9:58 am

Vicuna

"possibilities?" you mean probabilities, at least.

9:58 am

Atalante

chaos? never!

9:58 am

Lizsark

FM I was scared off by a certain person!

9:58 am

9:59 am

I know Liz

9:59 am

Here, FM, try some ribbon!

I'm hoping we'll get loads of photos when Ata comes to visit :)

9:59 am

ooh I look so pretty :))

9:59 am

Haz1558

I hope the glue isn't of superadhesive qualities otherwise FM is going to be in trouble.

10:00 am

Vicuna

Of course you do, dear! Absolutely magnificent!

10:00 am

Atalante

we will! we'll have so many pics, and about 95% of them being of 2 black dogs, I suspect

10:00 am

Lizsark

It's okay, Haz. It's designed for 3-year-olds, so it's completely non-toxic and washable.

10:00 am

Lizsark

LOL Ata, naturally!

10:00 am

Haz1558

Thank goodness the workmen aren't around to witness FM sitting in her glittery mess.

10:00 am

*grin* and hugs to babble friends nice to see you all :))

10:01 am

Haz1558

Washable? I always like to hear that things are washable.

10:01 am

Atalante

ironable too?

10:01 am

Vicuna

They would be in awe of her radiance, Haz. Of course.

10:01 am

Lizsark

Think I'm going to go home. Nobody around today. May as well fetch Megan and go tae Os for a walk....need to wear him out before Ata gets here

10:01 am

ir4? Why would anyone want to do that, Ata?

10:01 am

Haz1558

Ata venturing on the brink of the PB...

10:01 am

Haz you are just jealous tht I have more builders, roofers and tree surgeons around me than you do (tee hee)

10:01 am

ooo Ata, I need to let Tuesday know what boat you are on! Just remembered

10:01 am

Atalante

You've got me there, FM. And with George heading over for the racing, you really are being spoiled.

10:02 am

FMitch

*sits back and enjoys momntary glory*

10:02 am

Lizsark

Oh that was funny Ata. They phoned out of the blue and said on my subscription form it said I had a labrador and would I like to be in a future mag testing some grooming products for them

10:03 am

Atalante

oh fab!!! Liz is going to be famous!!

10:03 am

Lizsark

No, Oscar is!

10:03 am

Haz1558

We can rely on Oscar to give anything a good testing.

10:03 am

Lizsark

Oh hang on he's world renowned already....

10:04 am

Vicuna

Be sure to get Oscar's autogrpoh, Ata. It'll be worth millions shortly.

10:04 am

Atalante

that's just great! yay Os :D

10:04 am

Haz1558

Soon we'll see dog products 'as endorsed by Oscar'

10:04 am

Lizsark

I have to take photos of him with the stuff they send and let them publish them. I hope he behaves long enough

10:04 am

Vicuna

an autogrpoh is, of course, a canine autograph

10:04 am

Haz1558

Make sure he knows that they're not all for eating.

10:04 am

Uniquity

Don't let him near any crows unless you are testing shampoos!

10:04 am

Lizsark

Well, Haz, if Oscar endorses them you'll know they are tough!

Haz1558

Do they have any self-help tapes for dogs? 'Calm down, canine'

10:06 am

Uniquity

Or a black lab in a bookshop. Then you could call yourself black books (but not for the same reason as the show, which I <3)

10:06 am

Haz1558

Yes, Liz, and kept a careful watch for you as well.

10:06 am

Lizsark

He was lovely :) But can he drink????? LOL

Now now Uni, have you not heard of a bull in a china shop? Well I guess a lab in a bookshop would be as bad

10:07 am

Vicuna

Rock the casbah, Rushie.

10:07 am

FMitch

yay Rushie def.

10:07 am

Haz1558

He has the most wonderful speaking voice, I think (Martin Clunes) and he loves dogs so he's strictly okay.

10:07 am

Rushie

I'm a cat person, though

10:08 am

Lizsark

Ewwwwwww! Crows!!! And you filmed it instead of getting her away!!!

10:08 am

Uniquity

I want to have an honourary bookshop cat for my store when we move (June 1), but everyone is allergic to them and doesn't like them, except for me.

10:08 am

Lizsark

Absolutely Haz, he's a cocker man!

10:08 am

Rushie

Talk about dogs is wonderful until I realise how much more... touchable some cats are

10:08 am

Lizsark

Uni I have 5 cats as well as Oscar

10:08 am

Atalante

lmao I know. Just for Uni's amusement, or something!

10:08 am

Vicuna

Sshh, Rushie. This is the dog person hour here on Babble. We cat people just hold our comments for now! ;)

10:08 am

Uniquity

My Emma gives kisses *very smug*

10:09 am

Haz1558

Yes, cats are scheduled for discussion later.

10:09 am

Rushie

:( dog person hour is my time lol

10:09 am

Lizsark

LOL Ata wait till we find her something horrible over here and we film her & Os sharing it

10:09 am

Atalante

omg. the horror. no dead lambs, though, please!

10:09 am

Vicuna

Well, okay. Maybe you can sneak in just a little cat talk.

10:10 am

Lizsark

Ew Ata that was AWFUL!

10:10 am

Atalante

wasn't it!!! disgusting hound. they'll get on well.

10:10 am

Lizsark

Hey Haz I wish I'd known you years ago. Sankha Guha filmed BBC Holiday on Sark and I was on the show for about 20 mins :)

10:11 am

Haz1558

I'll be able to boast about that from now on.

10:11 am

Uniquity

Shall we youtube for Liz's moments of glory??

10:11 am

Atalante

oooo good point

10:11 am

FMitch

Oh yes aren't you already you tubing?

10:11 am

Haz1558

You know - 'Do you know Liz from Sark - you know, the one who was on TV. The one who offended Toyah WIlcox.'

10:12 am

Atalante

lmao. never let toyah be forgotten

10:12 am

Lizsark

Oh Uni it was pre-You Tube days LOL

10:12 am

Haz1558

I still think that's the best claim to fame. 'I annoyed Toyah Wilcox'

10:12 am

Lizsark

*Blushes* at the Toyah incident....silly mare!

10:12 am

Uniquity

Ah, but youtube contains many things from pre-youtube days!

10:12 am

FMitch

lol Haz that was a great moment.

10:13 am

Haz1558

Cue frantic e-mail from Toyah's assistant begging that all references cease forthwith.

10:13 am

Lizsark

Shows that she's slightly self-obsessed!

10:13 am

Atalante

how did you annoy Toyah? I believe I've forgotten

10:13 am

10:13 am

Just ever so slightly.

10:14 am

Uni I'm sure its taken up residence in some dusty archive somewhere :) I have a copy on an old video tape somewhere....

10:14 am

10:14 am

I made some oblique reference to her on my blog Ata

10:14 am

Atalante

one of my best friends is a BBC archiver ...

10:14 am

Haz1558

Of course, my husband featured in a local programme about the surgery. He was interviewed by Suzanne Dando.

10:14 am

10:14 am

Atalante

"and then there was Toyah, that self-obsessed, annoying, whiny woman"?

'Not to mention Toyah, who failed to turn up, who wrecked the lives of milions on Sark, then refused to take the blame'

10:15 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, MM.

10:15 am

Lizsark

Well if we're doing one-upmanship I was also featured (LOL) on a BBC2 documentary about the government of Sark

10:16 am

Haz1558

I'm copying Ata's gift of exaggeration today.

10:16 am

Atalante

I've only been on TV once *sigh*

10:16 am

FMitch

Have just googled Sankha Guha filmed BBC Holiday on Sark and got some interesting resuts. not found Liz yet and surprised at some of the seraches that cme up!

10:16 am

Lizsark

Well, its been fab to see you all again after so long but I really do have to go fetch Megan (actually I was supposed to collect her at 4pm - bad mother!)

10:16 am

Haz1558

What are the rules of oneupmanship? Must you have appeared on TV?

10:17 am

Atalante

LOL. Go get Megan! See you soon!

10:17 am

Haz1558

Oh, leave her for another while, Liz. It's character building.

10:17 am

Bye, Liz!

10:17 am

Lizsark

See you on Saturday :)) *Hugs*

10:18 am

Lizsark

LOL Haz *poof*

Bye Liz!

10:18 am

Atalante

omg saturday! wheeee! so soon!

10:18 am

Wait a tic, 5 cats, a dog and a daughter? Is Liz mad?!

10:18 am

FMitch

Oh byeee Liz.
Ata give her hugs from all of us.

10:18 am

Vicuna

Don't forget the son, Uni.

10:18 am

Atalante

a son, too. and a husband.

10:18 am

Haz1558

And she has a husband as well!

10:18 am

Rushie

Let me tell you this

10:18 am

Rushie

Who isn't mad?

10:18 am

Uniquity

Oh my. I've come over all faint.

10:18 am

Vicuna

And an occasional husband, as well.

10:19 am

FMitch

I am so jealous!

10:19 am

Rushie

I'd really like to find who isn't mad/crazy/bonkers/insane/nuts and ask for tips

10:19 am

Haz1558

We have hailstones happening. This is ridiculous.;

10:19 am

FMitch

Good point Rushie.

10:19 am

Vicuna

I'm not mad at all! (*adjusts the eccentric owl*)

10:19 am

Atalante

of 5 cats, a dog, a son daughter and husband?

10:19 am

Rushie

Well, I'm off for the day :)

10:19 am

Haz1558

I'm desperately sane.

10:20 am

Daughter has realised the folly of leaving the sun-roof of the car open...

10:20 am

no Ata just that you are going over to Sark and meeting up with Liz.

10:20 am

Uniquity

Hailstones? It is beautiful again here after a week of rain. I should be out enjoying it, but instead I am here! :D

10:20 am

10:20 am

uh oh

10:20 am

Uniquity

Haz, do you have to always let everyone learn their lessons the hard way?

10:21 am

Haz1558

Yes. It's called tough love.

10:21 am

Haz1558

Actually I didn't know she had left it open until she let out an unmerciful yell and dashed to the door. Spangle was very entertained.

10:21 am

FMitch

sheesh!

10:23 am

Haz1558

Has FM just spotted a particularly handsome lumberjack?

10:23 am

Uniquity

Emma would not have been. If I make the slightest noise, she wakes up from her perch in the sunny window and lets out a loud "praaooooww" asking what on earth I am doing.

10:24 am

Atalante

Hobbit would have whirled around her

10:25 am

Vicuna

Esmerelda would have hooted thrice and built a rather untidy nest ont he doorknob.

10:25 am

FMitch

Actually I have to admit the last estate agent was kinda cute :) noe of the lumberjacks fitted the bill.

10:25 am

Haz1558

Spangle just stood at the door, watching with great interest.

10:26 am

Haz1558

Confessions are forthcoming today. Details?

10:26 am

Atalante

and laughing. Spangle always looks like she's laughing

Trust Ata to bring a little class to our fictional romance.

10:28 am

Oh well. Never let it be said that babblers have no imagination.

10:29 am

Merk

sa7 clue please

10:29 am

Babblers have no imagination.

10:29 am

FMitch

IT culd be a whole chapter in the babble book!

10:29 am

Vicuna

Ha ha, I said it! Neener neener.

10:30 am

Haz1558

sa7 - sa plus a running together of spoon bending Mr Geller and actor McKellan.

10:30 am

Merk

I'm so sorry, but Geller and McKellan mean nothing to me.

10:30 am

Haz1558

There's something very rebellious about Vicuna. It's like her persistence in singing even though glass shatters for miles around.

10:31 am

Vicuna

sa7 - class including lizards and dinos

10:31 am

Vicuna

The truth is, I have stocks in the glass industry.

10:31 am

Haz1558

sa7 - s plus first two letters of continent where herin lives, switch round the vowels of water that falls from the sky.

10:31 am

but her voice does sound good from over here ... all those thousands of miles away.

10:31 am

Haz1558

Aha! The truth will out!

10:32 am

kje

ty haz

10:32 am

I don't *want* to find 60 more words. I say bad words to this grid.

10:32 am

Atalante

its the atmospheric haziness

10:32 am

Vicuna

Am I like bagpipes, which we had such a discussion about once?

10:32 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, kje.

10:32 am

Merk

ty so much ... what a great clue, as always!

10:33 am

kje

46 left - brain frying - bbl

10:33 am

Haz1558

No, bagpipes can sound good, given the right atmospheric conditions. I think of VI's voice as having a particular quality of tunelessness. Not a note in her head that matches the music. Quite sad really.

10:33 am

FMitch

Is Vi like bagpipes,? disucss in less than 500 words *grin*

10:33 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Merk.

10:34 am

Vicuna

*sigh. Goes to sit in the corner with Esmerelda.*

10:34 am

Haz1558

But don't take it personally, Vi. I'm just being the Simon Cowell of babble, but without the money or the shiny teeth.

10:35 am

Haz1558

I don't wear my trousers under my armpits either.

10:35 am

Atalante

or the permatan

10:35 am

FMitch

*passes Vi a blanki*

10:35 am

Vicuna

You don't wear them over your armpits, I hope!

10:35 am

Haz1558

But think, Vi, of your other talents. You're raising twins of glory and etching etchings of wonderment.

10:36 am

Vicuna

*stops sniffling*

10:36 am

FMitch

So if Vi asked us to go up o see her etchings we would be ok then?

10:37 am

Vicuna

lol! They aren't technically etchings, so if I invite you to see etchings you probably should be suspicious.

10:37 am

Haz1558

That's good, Vi. It doesn't help your looks when you snivel. A lesson to be learned early by all.

10:37 am

Atalante

yeah, she's not called Eric Gill

10:38 am

FMitch

lol

10:38 am

FMitch

Gah, day time TV is making me cry, I need to get a life!!!!

10:39 am

Vicuna

*had to google Eric Gill*

10:39 am

Haz1558

Who's making you cry?

10:39 am

Atalante

you're not watching jeremy kyle, are you?

10:40 am

Atalante

eric gill was an amazing artist / etcher who was later discovered to have - um - interesting tastes

10:40 am

Haz1558

Or a Lassie film?

10:40 am

Vicuna

Yeah, just learned that. So no, I'm no Eric Gill. In either respect!

10:40 am

FMitch

No to Jeremy Kyle!! There are a series of afternoon plays on BBC1 atm which are very good. Am watching ch5 atm.

10:41 am

Merk

Fireworks ... and thanks for your help with the sticky ones on my way there.

10:41 am

Vicuna

Yay for Merk!

10:41 am

Haz1558

Congratulations Merk!

10:41 am

FMitch

Congrats Merk!

10:42 am

rururocks

wish I were merk

10:42 am

Atalante

check out his art, though, Vi. Some gorgeous work, and he did a lot of typography too - Gill Sans is his

10:42 am

Vicuna

Oh, I should have guessed!

10:42 am

Uniquity

Ew, Should not have googled Eric Gill. Incest, beastiality and sexual abuse. Definitely taints the impression of the artist, if not the art.

10:43 am

Atalante

it's a very interesting argument. how knowledge of the artist affects one's impression of art

10:43 am

movieman

the mo6 plz

10:43 am

Haz1558

Is this where we get all intellectual?

10:43 am

Haz1558

mo6 - overcoat as worn by Arthur Daley?

10:44 am

movieman

ta haz

10:44 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

10:44 am

Atalante

LOL. It *is* interesting to consider though.

10:45 am

Becca Lorum

getting my 5 mins of Babble in quick before baby wakes up again!! *splash*

10:45 am

Uniquity

Intellectualism to disguise disgust? His poor children. And sister. And dog

10:47 am

rururocks

if I knew who arthur daley is I probably would get that clue....

10:47 am

Atalante

it's the same as hitler. he was actually a half decent artist. but I defy anyone to look at his paintings without knowing they were his, and then look again knowing, and not be changed in their view

10:47 am

Haz1558

mo plus what grows on the head, though less so as time progresses

10:47 am

Vicuna

No, the question of whether disgust at his personality or personal life changes the quality of work, in the case of work that doesn't happen to reflect that aspect of his personal life.

10:48 am

rururocks

jeez.. duh thanks

10:48 am

rururocks

In oakland it means more of it..

10:48 am

Haz1558

No problem, ruru.

10:49 am

Merk

Thanks again, have a good day, see you in the morning ... I'm finally feeling better after being sick since Sunday.

10:49 am

Uniquity

All of Gill's work that I found reflected sex and religion. Knowing his life certainly impacted my viewing. Similar argument with Hitler..nbot just with his own work but also that which he approved of or did not approve.

10:49 am

Haz1558

Glad you're feeling better, Merk. Nausea isn't nice!

10:50 am

Merk

especially while trying to babble ... hehehe

10:50 am

Merk

I'm heading to the shower. see you later

10:50 am

Atalante

it's interesting. art and words and stuff are meant to be so much standalone pieces. but they aren't. so much surrounds them and influences our view

10:51 am

Vicuna

At the same time, people bring so much of their own stuff that sometimes it overpowers what the artist intended.

10:51 am

Uniquity

And definitely not just visual art...music and literature is viewed differently depending on what you know of the author. Like James Frey's "Million Little Pieces" and all the drama of it's supposed biographical roots.

10:51 am

rururocks

ac 7?

10:52 am

Atalante

but then who is right - the person who sees the work through the artist's eyes, the person who sees it afresh with no preconceptions? very rhetorical question.

10:52 am

Haz1558

ac7 - shortened exclamation upon sneezing, add Princess from Star Wars

10:53 am

Atalante

*faints*

10:53 am

rururocks

oh duh.. I couldn't remember that one?

10:53 am

rururocks

right..

10:53 am

rururocks

I shouldn't have started this grid.. .grumbles....

10:54 am

Haz1558

*smug* I used a Star Wars reference.

10:54 am

FMitch

sorry I got caught up in the end of the film I was watching.
Can see I missed out on some convo.

10:54 am

Haz1558

It's a wee bit of a grind today, ruru. It's character building.

10:54 am

Haz1558

My character has rarely been so built-up.

10:54 am

Atalante

*comes around muttering about star wars*

10:54 am

Vicuna

We're waxing philosophical.

10:55 am

Atalante

yes, sorry, I turned everything philosophical. It's just something that I find fascinating

10:55 am

Haz1558

That would be a good name for a beauty parlour for intellectuals. 'Waxing philosophical'

10:55 am

Becca Lorum

I think I'm with ruru - shouldn't have started this one, but I get so little opportunity to Babble these days....*sighs*

10:55 am

Vicuna

lol

10:56 am

Uniquity

I still am saying bad words to this grid.

10:56 am

Atalante

waxing poetical as a sister store

10:56 am

Haz1558

And for poets - Waxing lyrical'

10:56 am

Vicuna

Do intellectuals go to beauty parlors? I thought we were supposed to look unkempt and earnest.

10:56 am

movieman

the sh6 plz

10:56 am

rururocks

or Out-of-Body experience..

10:57 am

Becca Lorum

Ha, I must be intellectual then Vic, I'm certainly umkempt!

10:57 am

Haz1558

sh6 - add two letters used in similes to the end of the false sh4

10:57 am

Haz1558

I don't know - doesn't Victoria Beckham go to beauty places? She's written books so she must be intellectual.

10:57 am

Atalante

tea, anyone?

10:58 am

Haz1558

Cue howls of derision from around the world at the VB reference.

10:58 am

movieman

ta haz

10:58 am

Uniquity

Only if it is peppermint tea.

10:58 am

Vicuna

I hate to bring up a delicate caveat, BeccaLorum, dear, but not ALL unkempt people are intellectuals.

10:58 am

FMitch

Thanks but no Ata I'm going for the top shelf!

10:58 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, MM.

10:58 am

Becca Lorum

No, I MUST be intellectual! I can't be unkempt just because I'm lazy

10:59 am

bichon

It's Princess Leia in Star Wars, but you can't make that here?

10:59 am

Haz1558

I reckon Becca must be intellectual - she can spell it so that has to count.

10:59 am

Vicuna

Anyone can write a book, Haz! But it isn't just anyone who can have their name emblazoned on the cover of a book they didn't actually write.

10:59 am

Haz1558

Take out the e, bichon.

11:00 am

Vicuna

(Haz doesn't really know her Star Wars, bichon. She's misspelling it.)

11:00 am

bichon

ty Haz

11:00 am

Becca Lorum

Thank you Haz, at least someone has faith in me

11:00 am

Haz1558

Darn. All my Star Wars street cred has just disappeared.

11:01 am

Vicuna

Good try, though, Haz. We really appreciate the effort!

11:01 am

Haz1558

I'll have to think of a different clue now.

11:01 am

bichon

If it's one thing I know it's Star Wars. I have an Star Wars obsessed child of 36

11:01 am

Becca Lorum

I got your clue Haz, but I don't know how to spell Leia either

11:02 am

Haz1558

This is what happens when you don't watch any Star Wars films. You think you know, but you don't really know.

11:02 am

Becca Lorum

(Well, obviously I do now).

11:02 am

Vicuna

A little knowledge, etc etc...

11:02 am

Haz1558

I know! We can have three quarters of Mr Neeson instead.

11:02 am

Haz1558

And wasn't he in Star Wars as well?

11:02 am

Becca Lorum

My husband followed his chosen career because of Star Wars

11:03 am

Vicuna

Well, it's time to scrub off the porch table so as to enjoy the lovely weather for lunch. Bye for now, all!

11:03 am

Haz1558

He's a rocket scientist?

11:03 am

Haz1558

Bye VI - nice to see you!

11:03 am

Vicuna

(Yes, Haz, but not the original trilogy.)

11:03 am

Atalante

a Jedi?

11:03 am

bichon

How's that Becca? I'm certain my son would like to know that

11:03 am

Becca Lorum

A robotics lecturer - he fell in love with R2D2

11:03 am

Atalante

evil emperor?

11:03 am

Becca Lorum

Bye Vic

11:04 am

Vicuna

lol, Ata! *waves and disappears*

11:04 am

bichon

I don't think son will do that. He's a biophysicist

11:04 am

Becca Lorum

LOL Ata - I'll have to tell him those!

11:04 am

Haz1558

Did he put that on his university entrance form to explain why he wanted to do robotics? As good a reason as any.

11:05 am

Becca Lorum

Ah well, it's not everyone who wants to tinker with electronics for a living.

11:05 am

Becca Lorum

Not sure Haz, I'd have to ask him!

11:05 am

Atalante

what word was the leia thing clueing?

11:05 am

Becca Lorum

ac7

11:06 am

Haz1558

ac7 - it should now read shortened exclamation on sneezing combined with three quarters of Mr Neeson. Short and snappy and guaranteed to make people say 'whaaaaaaaaat?'

11:06 am

Atalante

ty!

11:06 am

Atalante

oh. I have that. LOL

11:06 am

sandr

roi n

11:07 am

Haz1558

It means lack of bile, apparently. Maybe giving the definition might be easier.

11:08 am

Becca Lorum

No-one would get it from the definition Haz. Stick to your meandering clue please

11:08 am

Becca Lorum

If that's the definition, why can it be pluralled?

11:08 am

Haz1558

There's bound to be some smart soul who'll say 'Ah yes, I've been blighted by ac7 all my life.'

11:09 am

Haz1558

Good question, Becca. You're proving how intellectual you are.

11:09 am

Becca Lorum

FLattery, flattery, thanks Haz

11:09 am

Haz1558

That child obviously hasn't sucked all the intelligence from you.

11:10 am

Haz1558

He's still sleeping?

11:10 am

Becca Lorum

Not yet, but he's trying

11:10 am

Becca Lorum

Speaking of whom, bye for now.

11:11 am

Haz1558

Good lad. See you again, Becca.

Trifioso

franny, run, do not walk to www.flylady.net. all you need to know is there!

3:26 pm

nrkii

saint, what I do is pick the room I spend the most time in, and clean that... moving everything that is clutter I can't decide about into one of the other rooms

3:26 pm

saintfranny

yeah, flylady. i used to get her emails. i mean, i'd Read them, but didn't Do them

3:26 pm

cherlyq63

trif was fixing to say same thing

cherlyq63

small goals add up

3:27 pm

Trifioso

also try organizedhome.com

3:27 pm

nrkii

manageable, and in 2 weeks, i'll be done

3:27 pm

saintfranny

hmm.. good point nrk. i want to do it all at Once, but that is dumb, and undoable.

also try bringing a contractor trash bag and a large box with you as you clean... the trash bag for trash, of course, and the box for garage sale stuff

3:28 pm

saintfranny

i have a houseguest coming sometime this summer, and the spare room is a) my "closet" - all my clothes are in there and b) all those clothes are mounded on the bed waiting to be sorted. i have SO much to do before she gets here

3:28 pm

nrkii

if you start with the room you spend the most time in, you'll feel better right away as you start to clean that room

3:29 pm

jmcnrick

I have a two part method. I pick up one thing in each room every day. Then I have a finite period that I concentrate on a large task--say two hours--once a week or so.

3:29 pm

saintfranny

that sounds right nrk. i will ponder that this evening. :) (and get to work on it tomorrow)

3:30 pm

cherlyq63
