2:22 am

herinfernallady

Hi. Mr Pres please send my love ok

2:23 am

lynxxx

I was just going to ask how he is today. And he must be feeling awful because he can't actually do anything. Is he with his Dad now? I know just having an 'ear' helps. Hope his father isn't the strong silent type, he needs to let go

2:23 am

mrpresident

hi infern, I will hun, thanks

2:24 am

herinfernallady

sorry I am lurking and very scattered but You have my love

2:26 am

2:26 am

cjmomma

Hi all, came back to turn off comp. and checked chat, Mrp and Lickety...best of thoughts and prayers are with you both

2:27 am

mrpresident

Hal is not the silent type, good lord no! But he is the 'sweep it all under the carpet' type and their relationship is 'shake hands' only.

2:27 am

lynxxx

I think so too. Get the kids to make some get well cards for him. They will be cheerful for him to look at

2:29 am

mrpresident

4:22 am

FMitch

Good morning spritey sprite!

4:23 am

Dianne

The re words are all pretty normal words - it's just that you don't know which direction to look/go in this grid.

4:23 am

sprite

hi FM :)

4:23 am

LoriP

There's how many what's??????

4:24 am

FMitch

LoriP

Don't Hi Lori me. 27 re's? ***sulks and mumbles about morning***

4:25 am

FMitch

teehee!!

4:25 am

FMitch

I think 27 is quite lenient given how many starting points there are for them

4:26 am

sprite

I don't think you are scoring points with Lori right now, FM...

4:26 am

LoriP

There's now 3 things I'm sure of. There is a hell. It has re's. It has a Karaoke machine.

4:27 am

FMitch

4:30 am

LoriP

Ahh, the honeymoon phase....

4:30 am

4:32 am

Eva

I walk away from the computer before the Jerry Springer stage

4:33 am

FMitch

Oh he (Jerry Springer) is in a West End musical I believe, Chicago if I remember correctly.

4:34 am

Eva

I've never been able to watch more than 5 minutes of Jerry Springer. I get too intensely embarrassed for all concerned.

4:35 am

LoriP

Yep. That's right up there (for me) with 'Reality TV' like Jon and Kate, and all that stuff. Torture for me.

4:35 am

FMitch

I remember when his shows were first shown ver here, never seen anything like it!

4:44 am

LoriP

Hard to believe that so many finncially comfortable people don't own mirrors.....

4:45 am

FMitch

of course you can sprite, it a huge horse racing event.

4:45 am

Eva

speaking of embarrassing TV....every once in a while I take a peek at some of the BBC comedy shows - and there seems to be a really bizarre strain of utterly gross- sort of 6 year old boy potty humor that people obvoiusly find utterly entrancing. guess it's the across the pond answer to Jerry Springer

4:45 am

Eva

LOL lori!

4:45 am

sprite

thanks FM

4:46 am

FMitch

The Queen and members of the Royal famiy attend, much pomp and ceremony and also much fun. I live less than a mile away from the racecourse.

7:51 am

Mom

the houses here are privately owned but the museum on the Ohio side is a recent addition to the Cincinnati skyline

9:39 am

stidgmere

As I look at the stories in the geneology logs, I find some of my great grandmothers created friendships with native americans by baking goodies for them. At least once, the family was not attacked because of these friendships. Hence, there got to be descendents. For us baking is a way to salavation.

10:45 am

Haz1558

ri8 - not a compound word. Looks a bit like a jaunty way of saying a poet? (taking liberties with spelling)

10:46 am

Haz1558

Build on the ri4/5 that starts the sequence.

10:49 am

periwinkle

thanks so much Haz, great clue

10:49 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, peri.

10:49 am

periwinkle

Haz, have you heard of pill pockets for cats?

10:50 am

Haz1558

No, can't say that I have.

10:50 am

Haz1558

I gather you're having trouble with Zoe-Ann?

10:51 am

periwinkle

it is an easier way to give pills, also made for dogs. just found out about them. lots of sites on the web

10:51 am

periwinkle

yes, she has a UTI and was given antibiotics yesterdat

10:51 am

periwinkle

I have never been able to get a pill into her. in the past she ate it if I ground it up and put it in wet food but not today :(

10:52 am

periwinkle

*yesterday*

10:52 am

periwinkle

help with 8's pls

10:52 am

Haz1558

I noticed you getting advice earlier on from cat owners. I'm not much help at all, I'm afraid. I hope you get her persuaded into taking the medicine, it sounds as though she needs it!

10:53 am

Haz1558

Which 8s do you already have?

10:53 am

periwinkle

have be, ri, ro

10:53 am

periwinkle

she does and I need her to take them. I am tired of stepping into cat pee with my bare feet

10:53 am

Haz1558

If you have the ri8, then swap the first letter for a b for bi8

10:54 am

periwinkle

I will ask the vet when she calls with the test results

10:54 am

Haz1558

pr8 - what the careful laundrywoman does with coloured and white clothes.

10:54 am

periwinkle

thanks Haz, never heard of that bi8

10:54 am

Atalante

pill pockets *usually* work

10:55 am

Haz1558

Nor had I, peri.

10:55 am

periwinkle

thanks, just found out about them today, usually??

10:55 am

periwinkle

but Ata knew about them

10:55 am

Atalante

depends how clever your cat is, I think

10:55 am

periwinkle

thanks for pr8 Haz

10:56 am

periwinkle

can't wait to get the move over with, have Zoe-Anne all better. hopefully the two cats will tolerate each other

10:56 am

Haz1558

Also pr8/45 - begin like the pr7/32 before it, but don't end with 'not out' but with the last letters of the feature on your face you use for perching glasses.

10:57 am

Haz1558

Moving is stressful for everyone, peri.

10:57 am

periwinkle

is there more than one pr8/45?

10:57 am

harpjane

my cat plays a game called "eat around the pill" twice a day

10:57 am

periwinkle

pls don't tell me that harp

10:58 am

periwinkle

I will at least give it a try, need to buy some

10:58 am

Haz1558

Yes, peri. The first one uses 'before' prefix, the second one 'for' prefix.

10:58 am

harpjane

the best way to get her to eat it is to put it in hamburger and then offer it to the OTHER cat...

10:58 am

Atalante

couldnt she get a long-release antibio injection?

10:58 am

rururocks

ro 56/10 # 1?

10:58 am

periwinkle

I only have one cat at the moment and I don't eat hamburger

10:59 am

periwinkle

will ask the doc re long release antibiotic

10:59 am

Haz1558

Or try, p plus a method of learning which involves rhyming (like multiplication tables) plus last three letters of a flower (it's in the grid)

10:59 am

harpjane

well, that doesn't mean your CAT won't eat it1

10:59 am

Atalante

whats zoe-ann's favourite favourite food

10:59 am

harpjane

i think you can get liquid antibiotics too

11:00 am

periwinkle

I would buy some hamburger if I thought it would work, raw or cooked? I have never given her any beef. what about ground chicken or turkey

11:00 am

Haz1558

Best stick with chicken or turkey if she's not used to beef - you don't want diarrhoea to add to your woes.

11:01 am

rururocks

anyone have the first ro 5? I am lost on it

11:01 am

Haz1558

ro5/10 - what a bird does, but end with a vowel rather than a consonant

11:01 am

periwinkle

if doing the liquid would still need to get it into her mouth, not sure I could do that

11:01 am

periwinkle

thanks for all the advice

11:01 am

Haz1558

Or, add a vowel to the shortened Aussie jumpers.

11:02 am

Atalante

you just get a pipette, and squirt it past her gag reflex. is easier

11:02 am

periwinkle

she likes Friskies prime fillets in chicken or turkey but that did not work this am

11:02 am

periwinkle

I would still need to get her to stay still and open her mouth, Ata. had one of those but threw it away

11:02 am

Haz1558

Very provoking, peri.

11:03 am

periwinkle

besides issues with my cat I am waiting for a company to call back and tell me when they can pick up furniture I am donating. no luck in selling them :(

11:03 am

12:46 pm

wildcat17

finished R words - all 62 of them

12:46 pm

wildcat17

I need a nap

12:47 pm

rbud

I have all 4, what do you have?

12:48 pm

wildcat17

I have ib4, in5/6

12:48 pm

12:50 pm

wildcat17

ah yes that would be it ty

12:50 pm

wildcat17

guess I should look for those 8 p's I'm missing

12:50 pm

wildcat17

12:56 pm

hurshy

what are the 9's?

12:57 pm

wildcat17

bi and ro

12:57 pm

hurshy

unexpected! thanks, will look.

12:57 pm

wildcat17

yw

12:58 pm

wildcat17

it will make sense once you find them

12:58 pm

hurshy

is the bi a prefix?

12:59 pm

wildcat17

yes

12:59 pm

Vicuna

be, not bi

12:59 pm

Vicuna

They're sibling compound words

1:00 pm

Vicuna

There's a bi8, but it doesn't lead to a 9

1:00 pm

hurshy

siblings to each other, or they have to do with siblings?

1:00 pm

wildcat17

oops sorry was looking in the wrong place

1:00 pm

wildcat17

I'll be quiet now

1:00 pm

Vicuna

to each other

1:00 pm

Vicuna

same last name, as it were

1:01 pm

hurshy

thanks, yay, got them!

1:01 pm

hurshy

now for this bi8.

1:02 pm

Vicuna

the bi8 is just like an ri8, but I'd never heard of it before

1:02 pm

hurshy

is that a prefix? two-something i mean?

1:02 pm

hurshy

*notes that she must also look for an ri8*

1:02 pm

Vicuna

yep. 2 school seasons, perhaps

1:02 pm

hurshy

aha

1:03 pm

Vicuna

ri8 is archaic poet

1:03 pm

hurshy

and that leaves me with just one 8 missing

1:05 pm

hurshy

time for list, methinks.

1:06 pm

hurshy

surprised lickety's still getting them up, considering.

1:06 pm

Vicuna

Yeah. It's a noble effort.

1:06 pm

Nef

considering what, hursh?

1:06 pm

hurshy

his dad is not well.

1:07 pm

Nef

oh dear. I'm sorry to hear that. When I come here I pretty much hide the chat so I stay out of trouble here.

rootbeer is definitely in the grid, just not in the dictionary!

1:13 pm

Vicuna

yes in the grid, but doesn't count. Must be two words, i guess.

1:14 pm

Vicuna

Or else just Enable is stupid.

1:17 pm

Nef

Enable must be stupid when it comes to rootbeer

1:17 pm

hurshy

6:37 pm

redturtlehead

good one Zooz! Well done.

6:37 pm

dinok

YAY ZOOM!!

6:37 pm

pam

PFLAG, peri. Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays

6:37 pm

pam

At least, I think that's what the initials stand for

6:38 pm

periwinkle

yes that is the one. I couldn't remember the name

6:38 pm

pam

they have a great bumper sticker--Straight but not Narrow

6:38 pm

pam

I am sorry for your friend. If her daughter is happy, that is what is important...

6:38 pm

zoozzoom

Many thanks Babble friends..better trot of to bed now..hope to see you tommorow

6:38 pm

periwinkle

we are good friends but do not see eye to eye re homosexuality or abortion

6:39 pm

periwinkle

she does want her to be happy but is really angry, upset etc. and I think it would help to talk with other parents, espec Christian ones

6:39 pm

pam

That's hard, peri

6:39 pm

dinok

tc zooz, goodnite.

6:40 pm

periwinkle

I would be more accepting but that is me

6:40 pm

pam

Is there a support group in her church, or is her church homophobic?

6:40 pm

periwinkle

thanks for the information, pam, I will pass it along to her

6:40 pm

pam

Well, I sense you feel to each their own, peri. And, in a just world, that would be the case

6:40 pm

pam

Sure, peri

6:41 pm

periwinkle

not sure, she has information given to her by the church but I have not seen/read it

6:41 pm

pam

I just wish people would understand that they have no reason to be threatened.

6:41 pm

periwinkle

she is open to reading other material as well. any books to recommend, pam?

6:42 pm

pam

What is her fear for her daughter? Usually, I say to godfearing folk that if we are all made in god's image, then god has no problems so why should you. Only I say it nicer.

6:42 pm

pam

I will have to think about that, peri

6:42 pm

periwinkle

she is totally against gay/lesbian marriage

6:42 pm

redturtlehead

Honestly, I think people are often thinking more of themselves and how things look to their church, their friends and of course they worry that they did something as a parent to create the situation....

6:42 pm

pam

Yeah, well her daughter

6:42 pm

periwinkle

that she will not be able to marry/have children, etc

6:42 pm

periwinkle

yes, that is true, red

6:42 pm

pam

s being a lesbian has nothing to do with marriage

6:43 pm

pam

She can adopt children, get inseminated. And, maybe she doesn't want kids

6:43 pm

pam

I agree, red

6:43 pm

periwinkle

I did not argue with her, just listened

6:43 pm

pam

Seems to me this society needs to separate religious from civil marriage

6:43 pm

periwinkle

she is very unhappy with the possiblity of insemination

6:43 pm

pam

I am not arguing, peri, and I know, you were being her friend, which she needs at this time

6:43 pm

periwinkle

it was hard to listen to her

6:44 pm

periwinkle

I know you are not arguing, pam.

6:44 pm

pam

It sounds like she wants her daughter to follow the path she took. It will take some adjusting for her....

6:44 pm

pam

Oh, good peri! I know I can be strident...

6:45 pm

periwinkle

not at all, pam, appreciate you input

6:45 pm

periwinkle

she does pam, I did tell her that being g/l is not something that a person chooses. it is what they are

6:46 pm

periwinkle

*meant who they are*

6:46 pm

pam

And, the same is true for bisexuals, which a LOT of people don't get, LOL, but it's true. Sexuality is a spectrum....

6:47 pm

pam

My brother has never given my lifestyle a moment's thought other than asking me if I was being careful--the same questions I asked him. Now, he has two daughters. The eldest, all of 10, has told him she will marry a woman and settle down.

6:48 pm

periwinkle

was your brother ok with that

6:48 pm

pam

Now, who knows what she is saying as she has given no indication of hormones taking off yet. I asked my brother what he said. He told her that that was great, just find the right one.

6:49 pm

periwinkle

good for him, wish my friend was more like him

6:49 pm

periwinkle

now must look for more words, have 95 left to find

6:49 pm

pam

My brother figures straight/gay/bi is a label. He wants his kids to be happy, honest, self-sufficient, etsc.

6:49 pm

pam

Thanks, peri.

6:49 pm

redturtlehead

oh peri, i have 141!

6:50 pm

periwinkle

no, thank you, pam!

6:50 pm

periwinkle

sorry red

6:50 pm

pam

I have 219

6:50 pm

fnurt

you know peri, not to butt in

6:50 pm

pam

Any time, peri. You know that! ((((peri))))

6:50 pm

fnurt

but if her daughter has kids someday, she is gonna want a relationship with those grandkids, regardless of how she feels about the lifestyle

6:50 pm

periwinkle

thanks really needed those hugs, this was not my best day, and it has nothing to do with my friend.

6:50 pm

fnurt

so she should be careful about what she says right now

6:50 pm

pam

Good point, fnurt!!!

6:51 pm

redturtlehead

6:52 pm

periwinkle

I called goodwill, st vincent depaul, salvation army and several other places and no luck

6:52 pm

pam

Sounds like a tough move

6:52 pm

pam

Oh, no, red. Not again

6:52 pm

jillibus

Roman Catholics, Presbyterians, Anglicans, Congrgatonalists, Lutherans, Mennonites etc etc etc are all Christian. How come one fundamentalist group has usurped the word as if they were the only Christians?

6:52 pm

periwinkle

finally called this thrift store which I have been in and they said they would take what I had

6:53 pm

pam

They have gotten picky, peri...

periwinkle

6:54 pm

pam

ciao, jilli

6:54 pm

periwinkle

they should not be so picky, this is not crap stuff

6:54 pm

redturtlehead

I found that arm and hammer detergent really works!

6:55 pm

Dorens

i agree with you jillli... i was raised to believe that there were many types of christians and find it abhorrent for one group to claim the word as their own, particularly if they are intolerant of others

6:55 pm

wildcat17

6:55 pm

jmcnrick

Dorens

6:56 pm

periwinkle

pam

UGH, jmc... that stinks!

6:56 pm

jillibus

Oh, I see now, jmc

6:56 pm

jmcnrick

the grid is bad too LOL

6:56 pm

redturtlehead

Peri, to be honest, it sounds like your friend is really wrestling with her daughter, rather than just giving her a knee jerk reaction...

6:57 pm

pam

red, I use 7th generation detergent, on sale it's a great buy. It doesn't make me itch and it cleans...

6:57 pm

periwinkle

SPLC?

6:57 pm

Dorens

honestly peri i have no idea. I was an hour and a half away when it started and can't iimagine my cats doing that. I think it was some strange computer malfunction that makes no sense... no one was here, even tho it was on. i suppose a cat could have jumped on it, but to go on like that?

6:57 pm

6:58 pm

periwinkle

6:59 pm
