4:52 am

herinfernallady

Lynxx I just walked in and it started to pelt down

4:53 am

lynxxx

Australia (stupidly) works on a calender month - our Winter is 1st June to 31st Aug - ie not 'true seasons

4:54 am

herinfernallady

That is Roman Calander not Pagan Calander sorry if that is the wrong words I broke my brain

4:54 am

herinfernallady

opps Gregorian

4:54 am

westford

we should do that too because our winter always starts sooner than Dec 21

4:55 am

westford

it's usually snowing here by mid November

4:56 am

westford

when my husband was in the Navy they had to change uniforms on a certain date didn't matter if it was blasting hot or freezing cold

4:56 am

westford

same with the heating and airconditioning

4:57 am

herinfernallady

We used to work on Term Dates for school clothes and it was ridiculous as September was still freezing and we had to wear summer uniform.

4:57 am

Norma

Morning Babblers can anyone clue the as5 please ;o)

4:57 am

herinfernallady

5:00 am

Norma

asl+ small insect

5:00 am

herinfernallady

5:00 am

westford

thank you !!

5:00 am

Norma

yvw

5:01 am

westford

don't do that herin you'll be passing it back and forth for weeks

5:02 am

herinfernallady

Yep But make him suffer. I am watching this idiot on telly smash a very old marble fireplace. I don't think you can print what i said

5:02 am

westford

is it one of those makeover shows?

5:04 am

herinfernallady

Yes and they just put vinyl records on the wall. Seriously what they just did was the equivalent of telling me that you just soaked old books in kero and made them into fire bricks.

5:05 am

westford

I know just what you mean they destroy beautiful things so they can have a simplistic look

5:09 am

herinfernallady

It drives me spare. I love our house and there is so much that we could do if it was ours

5:10 am

westford

you appreciate the finer things

5:11 am

herinfernallady

I am sad that we had to cover our fireplace

5:11 am

westford

did you move some furniture in front of it or really cover it?

5:12 am

herinfernallady

Moved Furniture as we dont have much space

5:13 am

herinfernallady

We dont have much blank wall space nor money to buy things to fix the problem

5:13 am

westford

that's too bad you'll probably save on heat though fireplaces can let in lots of cold air

5:14 am

herinfernallady

That is true. We do have ducted heating

5:15 am

westford

it's like money going up the chimney

5:16 am

herinfernallady

true

5:16 am

westford

they are nice to have though

5:16 am

westford

Santa needs a place to come in lol

5:17 am

herinfernallady

but the fire place is very pretty. Once we get the money we are getting the 43 inch Tv repaired then a cabinat for storage

5:17 am

westford

that will be very nice

5:18 am

westford

have you looked into buying a new TV might be less than getting that one fixed

5:19 am

westford

they've really gone down in price here

5:20 am

herinfernallady

No. THe tv will cost about $300 to fix its a $3000 tv

5:21 am

westford

then you're doing the right thing

5:22 am

westford

speaking of TV's we bought a 23 inch flat screen TV for one of the bedrooms for $200 pretty good deal it's a Samsung

5:22 am

westford

so we get it home and find out it's not a TV at all it's a monitor!!

5:22 am

herinfernallady

oh bugger

5:23 am

herinfernallady

So what did you do?

5:23 am

westford

it was on the shelf below the TV display

5:23 am

westford

we're going to bring it back I couldn't find the receipt but I found it tonight

5:24 am

herinfernallady

Oh that is good. Simple mistake to make

5:24 am

westford

now we're wondering what a TV like that will really cost

5:24 am

herinfernallady

Oh dear

5:25 am

westford

we have an old fashioned 13" that works fine for now

5:25 am

westford

I usually put the TV on to fall asleep to

5:26 am

herinfernallady

I don't like Tvs in the bedroom. We do have 3 tvs here

5:27 am

westford

yes TV's in the bedrooms are a bad habit

5:28 am

6:10 am

Scrabbler

Yes, cwossy, that is my life--Mad Momma wants kid better stat so kid can return to day care.

6:10 am

6:10 am

Scrabbler

And there is a "blood test" for everything too.

6:10 am

herinfernallady

Yes that Scrabbler. My friend is newly pregnant, on her own and is into very different ideas on raising this little one

6:10 am

LoriP

We wouldn't want their immune systems to actually do what they're designed to do after all.....

6:11 am

crosshair

6:11 am

Scrabbler

Who else couldn't sleep last night? I should have been here but I snuggled in my nest with Bunny Sebastian and read.

6:11 am

westford

6:12 am

crosshair

i had nasty insomnia last night scrabbs,must be the phase of the moon;)

6:12 am

herinfernallady

I am about to make a witches brew as i have a hideous scratchy throat and a barking cough

6:12 am

LoriP

I KNOW there's a pill for that Scrabbler. :p

6:12 am

herinfernallady

There is no moon :D

6:12 am

crosshair

6:13 am

Scrabbler

I just noted the Qu tile.

6:13 am

westford

6:13 am

westford

it's simple scrab I was disappointed it went by so fast

6:13 am

LoriP

Too ..... many ..... c's poopy

6:13 am

herinfernallady

This is fairly horrid it neeeds no eye of newt. Though Eye of Newt may make it tastier

6:13 am

Scrabbler

Yep, Qu is now grey.

6:14 am

westford

what's in it herin?

6:14 am

crosshair

2 shots of single malt scotch,a sugar cube, a splash of distilled water and mullit..will cure any cold

6:14 am

herinfernallady

hold that thought kettle is boiling

6:14 am

crosshair

mull it*

6:15 am

westford

good crossy thought you were going to throw a fish into it

6:15 am

crosshair

lol nope that for hangovers

6:16 am

crosshair

except that half a glass of tomato juice,a splash of the beer you had last night,top it with a raw egg and a dash of tobasco sauce

6:17 am

westford

no thanks

6:17 am

crosshair

then down it at a single draught

6:17 am

westford

sounds worse than the hangover

6:17 am

crosshair

cures any hangover,i promise

6:18 am

o-o

inebriates likely are more concerned about their next drink than a piddling cold

6:18 am

crosshair

ill drink to that!

6:19 am

LoriP

Are there just the 4 ch's please?

6:19 am

LoriP

Oops, 5 ch's?

6:24 am

herinfernallady

oh and honey. Lots of herbs that are very good for scaring of colds. hi BabRab

6:24 am

o-o

6:25 am

Scrabbler

Haha, BR. Anger management is needed.

6:25 am

herinfernallady

Yep I think so

6:26 am

crosshair

lol herin,want wormwodd? just get a nice bottle of imported absinthe

6:26 am

LoriP

Scarbbs, soon you'll be able to tell Dickhead where to go, and how to get there! In a classy kind of way of course. :)

6:26 am

crosshair

that will kill the cold lol

6:27 am

herinfernallady

This is fairly heavy duty stuff minus the heavy duty price tag

6:27 am

Scrabbler

I decided that my final comment will be: I wish you peace. Because that's what he needs. To find peace and happiness in life, instead of being a jerk, but I fear he will not learn in this lifetime.

6:28 am

crosshair

it is offered in our flagship l.c.b.o store at $85.00 for a bottle somewhere between a mickey and a 26er;(

6:28 am

LoriP

Scrabbler, as you know too well, those people usually don't learn.
Unfortunately.

7:20 am

7:20 am

sprite

Ata! How was your birthday and why didn't you pick up my ecard :P

7:20 am

Atalante

I did!!

7:20 am

Uniquity

Oh where, oh where could my Mama FM be? Oh where oh where might she have gone?

7:20 am

sprite

ah good :)
Were you offended?

7:20 am

herinfernallady

Oh dear witches brew gone to head

7:21 am

wow Uni, good singing voice. That should do it.

7:21 am

Uniquity

Sprite. Were you using someecards.com?? :D <3 them.

7:21 am

sprite

no, care2-ecards. Very nice too!

7:22 am

Atalante

lmao it's *very* hard to offend me!

7:22 am

Atalante

care2 ecards are lovely

7:22 am

sprite

thought you might like the song, grin.

7:22 am

Atalante

do check out someecards though, sprite, you'll love them

7:22 am

Haz1558

There's a challenge and a half. Try to offend Ata.

7:23 am

7:23 am

LoriP

***When you care enough to hit send*** :)

7:24 am

Atalante

they are *so* fab

7:25 am

LoriP

Back in a bit. Gotta' go reload for whenever FM hauls her butt in here.

7:26 am

sprite

bye Lori

7:26 am

Haz1558

I can't tell you of the mental images that's conjuring up.

7:26 am

Uniquity

Lori is probably putting on her radar system and walking to FM's to get her on here. THis "reloading" is just a guise.

7:27 am

sprite

right

7:27 am

Haz1558

Could she be doing housework and being too shy to mention it?

7:27 am

Atalante

oh look! flying pigs!

7:27 am

Uniquity

No.

7:27 am

sprite

we're still talking about Lori, right?

7:28 am

Haz1558

I just thought I would indulge in some blue sky thinking, be creative etc.

7:28 am

Uniquity

It did not pan out.

7:28 am

Haz1558

I knew housework and Lori are unlikely companions in any sentence.

7:29 am

Atalante

as unlikely as Spangle and ugly

7:29 am

sprite

well ok, I think we can reward your post with the creativity prize.

7:29 am

Uniquity

Or Hobbit and clean!

7:30 am

Haz1558

Yes. And me with a needle and thread in my hand without someone behind me with a threatening expression.

7:30 am

Atalante

yes!

7:30 am

Atalante

what doesn't FM go with ..

7:31 am

Uniquity

Blame?

7:31 am

Haz1558

Innocence

7:31 am

sprite

blame looks well on FM

7:32 am

Atalante

Innocence, yes

7:32 am

Haz1558

She doesn't do well with sleeping in. She likes to be up with the larks.

7:32 am

Atalante

How can one be innocent with half-naked men hanging outside one's window

7:32 am

Uniquity

No wonder I never catch her on babble. She's up early, I'm up late and we're four hours apart!

7:33 am

mrpresident

it was so lovely to see my daddy!!! great dinner too!

7:33 am

Haz1558

Something in my psyche tells me that she's working. I get signals.

7:33 am

Atalante

how very random

7:33 am

sprite

them being only half-naked and able to walk away unmolested kind of proves her innocense.

7:33 am

Uniquity

Something in my inbox tells me she is working.

7:34 am

Atalante

Uni has a pyschic inbox!

7:34 am

Uniquity

I want to see my Mama! :D

7:34 am

Haz1558

You're on the same wavelength as well, Uni? Cue X-files spooky music.

7:34 am

mrpresident

hi uni! is lovely seeing parents!

7:35 am

Atalante

it *can* be lovely lol

7:35 am

Uniquity

Make sure the kids don't hear. Most children that grew up in the 90s had nightmares when they heard the X-Files song. I did. Until I fell in love with the X Files.

7:35 am

HI MOVIE!!! so good to see you! am hooked to the tennis too! :))

Hi MRP!

10:30 am

Haz1558

Not three quarter, two thirds. I'm rubbish at numbers, sorry.

10:30 am

movieman

So, mrp, who's your tip to win the tourny then?

10:31 am

FMitch

I know I am going to be in the minority here but why oh why is the BBC devoting 12+ hours of time every day during the day (4+ hours of which run concurrently to Wimbledon) :((

10:31 am

mrpresident

Love Andy M! He is just wonderful as a player! Talent +++

10:31 am

Haz1558

There are a lot of words I've never encountered before. I'm wondering if I'll retain them.

10:31 am

Haz1558

Because it's wonderful, FM.

10:32 am

movieman

and because it's a British summer sporting tradition

10:32 am

FMitch

sure.

10:32 am

sadie52

be lucky if i find them let alone retain them...

10:32 am

Haz1558

And it is only for a fortnight, and it's nice to see tradition meeting sport.

10:33 am

FMitch

lol I know mm but 2 channels at the same time on terrestrial is a tad too much.

10:33 am

movieman

Mind you, I can't wait for the summer of 2012

10:34 am

Haz1558

When London grinds to a halt?

10:34 am

That's the one haz....lol

10:34 am

FMitch

Bear in mind I don't have cable/digital/satellite my viewing suddenly gets very curtailed.

10:35 am

Haz1558

Ah, I didn't realise you didn't have digital yet. You're really missing out with the shopping channels. I've never known people to be able to talk for so long about nothing and still sound as though they're thrilled with every product.

10:35 am

FMitch

LOL!

10:36 am

sadie52

thats the truth haz lollol

10:36 am

Haz1558

I can only take about five minutes of it at a time.

10:37 am

Haz1558

The other evening they had people on showing how to make Christmas cards. I kid you not.

10:37 am

FMitch

Has anyone here actually bought anything from one of those shopping channels?

10:37 am

Haz1558

They had a Christmas tree up and everything. That's taking being prepared too far.

10:37 am

Haz1558

I haven't, FM.

10:37 am

sadie52

not me i just breeze right by them when channel surfing....

10:38 am

FMitch

I would have been aghast if you said you had!

10:38 am

sadie52

well thats just pushing the season a tad

10:38 am

Haz1558

They may well be a boon for people who can't get out to shop, but the endless prattle would drive me round the bend.

10:39 am

FMitch

If BabbleRabble were he he would remind us how many days to Christmas eek!

10:39 am

mrpresident

I am going for Murray... I know it is a longshot... cause Federer has his eye fixated to this one.

10:39 am

Haz1558

And the ones where the price comes down are even worse - encouraging you to buy but to hold off buying is something of an art form.

10:40 am

sadie52

i do alot of shopping via amazon

10:40 am

Merk

I'm amazed at how fast amazon's delivery can be.

10:46 am

mrpresident

Luke picked that word up straight away, and said... "don't go there mum... it is a bad one!" LOL at 10 year old!

11:35 am

mrpresident

he adds up the vowels and associates where they are in relation to s's, r's and d's... then gives me the odds of finishing!

I'm starting to think he was right ..

12:51 pm

Atalante

and how are you??

12:52 pm

gwenski

Doing pretty well today. Recovering from surgery.

12:52 pm

Atalante

oh ow! are you ok now??

12:52 pm

Anniebrook

ouch, qwen

12:53 pm

gwenski

It's been less than a week, and I'm hoping to pace myself well today so that no pain med is needed. So far so good!

12:53 pm

littlebit

me too gwen! what's yours from?

12:53 pm

gwenski

laparascopic hysterectomy

12:53 pm

littlebit

oh fun!

12:53 pm

littlebit

you should fel better in a week.

12:54 pm

Atalante

you'll be as right as rain in no time, gwen :) my best friend had the same last year and the recovery time was just amazing

12:54 pm

Anniebrook

hi little and gwen....hope you both recover quickly

12:54 pm

littlebit

a little better each day till then

12:54 pm

gwenski

I've been warned over and over not to overdo it.

12:54 pm

littlebit

thanks, mine was to remove a golf-ball sized tumor from my lower intestine.

12:55 pm

Anniebrook

gwen....do NOT lift anything heavy

12:55 pm

littlebit

yes, don't overdo it!

12:55 pm

Anniebrook

how are you feeling, little?

12:55 pm

Atalante

no, it's not worth it. just be gentle with yourself and you'll get there quicker

12:55 pm

gwenski

The biggest adjustment is deciding to leave ALL dog-walking chores to the hubby. The puppies haven't quite grasped that concept yet.

12:55 pm

Atalante

it's good for them to encounter change :P

12:56 pm

littlebit

i'm doing well. it's been a couple of weeks now.

12:56 pm

littlebit

turned out being stage 1 cancer, but they got it all!

12:56 pm

Atalante

yay little!

12:56 pm

Anniebrook

glad to hear they got it all, little

12:56 pm

gwenski

That's good news, littlebit. Does tnat mean no follow-up treatments needed?

12:57 pm

littlebit

just regular bloodwork for a while and colonoscopies every two years.

12:59 pm

littlebit

i can live with that!

12:59 pm

gwenski

Yes, that's quite reasonable!

12:59 pm

jacq

jacq

i hope you get better soon

1:01 pm

gwenski

had surgery last week

1:01 pm

Anniebrook

phone, be back soon

1:01 pm

jacq

nothing serious i hope

1:02 pm

gwenski

just the most common female surgery there is, apparently! After a reoccurrence of fibroids, I was ready for it.

1:02 pm

jacq

hysterectomy? full through the stomach?

1:03 pm

gwenski

laparascopically. Have five little holes.

1:03 pm

jacq

i had a hysterectomy at 26 they reopened my c section scar for it

1:04 pm

gwenski

It was a bit difficult for the doc to do. He came very close to opening me up. C-section scar tissue, plus everything was bigger than they expected.

1:04 pm

jacq

wow gwen that's good, you should recover well and quickly just take it easy

1:04 pm

jacq

nods

1:04 pm

gwenski

Yes, very glad that he didn't have to open me up.

1:05 pm

Atalante

it's amazing how they can get big things out of you laproscopically

1:06 pm

gwenski

Yes it is. And google 'Da Vinci surgical system' to find out even more interesting things. The doc used this on me.

1:30 pm

jmcnrick

but he was so rude to me I my ears are still buring

1:30 pm

jmcnrick

*burning

1:30 pm

speedfreak

I cannot even walk in their rooms which is fine since they are upstairs and I just shut the doors but down here they can at least put away their stuff

1:31 pm

Atalante

rudeness is bad enough, rudeness in public is unacceptable

1:31 pm

jmcnrick

torgone

My son's room looks like a Bangladesh landfill ..

Atalante

1:34 pm

speedfreak

The other good thing is I never allowed food upstairs so it is only their clothes and crap we only eat in the dining room or breezeway

1:36 pm

Atalante

one of my best friends was at uni with me, and we lived in a block of halls across the corridor from each other. Now friend is wonderful in many ways, but tidyness and cleanliness are not some of them. She grew up in a house with cleaners and people tidying everything for her etc etc. So university was a bit of a challenge. Anyway. at the end of the year, all rooms were inspected ...

1:38 pm

Atalante

the inspector guy looked under her bedcovers, and under the bed (the under bedspace was about 10" high) and the entire underbed area was a 10" mass of mould. Solid mould under the whole bed.

1:38 pm

jmcnrick

I'm listening ata. . .

1:39 pm

speedfreak

Blech!! How did she not get sick...and the smell must have been horrible

1:39 pm

jmcnrick

I hope she lived in a single!

1:39 pm

1:39 pm

scribekd

I don't have the 1st ca6/24, either-sorry

1:40 pm

Atalante

we'd all wondered why her room usually smelled a bit - odd LOL

1:40 pm

jmcnrick

I even periodically wipe down all the phones in the office

1:40 pm

jmcnrick

But I have a really disorder desk

1:40 pm

jmcnrick

well that makes up for my son's room but not for his attitude

1:40 pm

Kallia

1:41 pm

speedfreak

1:50 pm

Atalante

we went on a long walk this morning - we were out for 3 hours wandering down from home through a few local villages and woods and fields etc etc

1:51 pm

jmcnrick

I found it from your clue speed -- with my little friend Google

1:51 pm

speedfreak

what kind of puppy ata and how old?

1:51 pm

Lizsark

and I bet she was a busy little bee

1:51 pm

speedfreak

thx jmc

1:51 pm

Atalante

she of course chased pheasants for about 2 of the hours. and it was *hot*. I keep dunking her in water troughs to cool down, and had to give her ice cubes and ice lollies when we got home! She was almost cross-eyed with heat and tiredness (really! she was!)

1:52 pm

Lizsark

Nothing nasty to roll in?

1:52 pm

Atalante

she's not realllllly a puppy, speed. she's a little black cocker spaniel. 7 years old!

1:52 pm

Lizsark

Speed - she's not a puppy really! I exaggerate!

1:52 pm

Atalante

omg. you shouldn't have mentioned that. cow pats. and, for added fun, a desiccated pile of rabbit remains

1:52 pm

speedfreak

oh we just got an 8 week old rottie and it is like having a new baby in the house

1:53 pm

Lizsark

what joy!

1:53 pm

Atalante

she got chucked in the bath about an hour ago, when she woke up from absolute 100% sleep exhaustion

1:53 pm

Lizsark

Awww Speed! Whats her/his name?

1:53 pm

Atalante

oh how *lovely* speed!

1:53 pm

jmcnrick

she loves them dead animals for sure!

1:53 pm

Atalante

yeah ... the desiccatde rabbit was a new high, even for her

1:54 pm

Lizsark

Still doesn't beat the dead lamb that Ossie found!!

1:54 pm

Atalante

*nothing* beats that!!

1:54 pm

speedfreak

we have always had 2 dogs at a time and sadly my 10 yr old rottie died of cancer in may so the local animal shelter always lets us know when another dog needs a home

1:54 pm

scribekd

1:55 pm

Lizsark

We have always had 2 at the same time until now Speed. Down to one at the moment until Ata and I persuade my husband otherwise

1:55 pm

Atalante

awwwwwww sadness for your old dog. but how wonderful to have a new one to learn and discover about

1:56 pm

Atalante

I took a few little vids of Holly today, I'll put them on facebook so Simon can see!

1:56 pm

speedfreak

Tell him Liz it is much better for the other one to have a playmate then to be alone. My 4 yr. old shepherd was so depressed now she is like a new puppy herself

1:56 pm

Lizsark

Nice one!!!!

1:56 pm

Atalante

1:56 pm

i do feel honored. i think i will go find a picture of wildcat to put in as my icon when she finishes

4:47 pm

wildcat17

:) awwwwwwwwwwww

4:48 pm

wildcat17

I may have to list to finish

4:49 pm

Uniquity

Look at all the congratulatory behaviours now! Maybe we should have a day where we all be a different babbler. I call Ata so I can be *smug*. Or Lori, so I don't have to clean. Or Haz, so my house will be clean...Or Lynxxx, so I can try the other side of the world...

4:49 pm

wildcat17

that could be fun

4:49 pm

Haz1558

You called?

4:49 pm

Atalante

St Haz! St Spanglettina!

4:49 pm

lynxxx

I gave up at about same point Wild, there are some obscure words in here

4:50 pm

wildcat17

then I won't feel so bad

4:50 pm

Uniquity

or we could be the babble pets...bunny Sebastian, spangle, hobbit, sily...

4:50 pm

4:51 pm

Uniquity

New zum ahreevay? Nous sommes arrivees?

4:51 pm

Atalante

hobbit has a good life! and no cold, damp kennel

4:51 pm

wildcat17

she's always going somewhere

4:51 pm

Haz1558

It should be nous to rhyme with...nothing that I can think of in English.

4:52 pm

wildcat17

her mama takes lots of pics of her

4:52 pm

Haz1558

Not like Spangle. A cold kennel and the prospect of being shorn on Frida.

4:52 pm

Haz1558

Friday. WORK FINGERS!

oh i brought my computer into the applestore yesterday and heard that we have a rogue keyboard... the enter, o, 3 and . keys were shorting out, explaining (perhaps) why my computer was entering blanks, 3's. an d .03's into the chat two weeks ago

4:52 pm

Haz1558

She's going to a professional shearer, not like poor Hobbit.

4:52 pm

wildcat17

oh great a keyboard with a mind of its own

4:53 pm

i think you should have her shorn on Friday. Kahlo?

Haz1558

Nous to rhyme with coup. Except that's a French word as well.

4:53 pm

Haz1558

Oh look, a troll.

4:53 pm

Dorens

the good news is they'll give me a new keyboard, bad news is we have to wait a while

4:53 pm

Uniquity

I must say, I am not a fan of the repeated qwerty.

4:53 pm

wildcat17

et tu??

4:53 pm

Atalante

but did she get a 3 hour walk today??

4:53 pm

Dorens

it is NOT me!!

4:53 pm

wildcat17

lol dor

4:53 pm

Kazzer99

Bon Soir mes amies

4:53 pm

Uniquity

Dorens, why do you have to wait?

4:54 pm

Haz1558

She did not, Ata, she did not.

4:54 pm

wildcat17

how long's awhile?

4:54 pm

Haz1558

Bonsoir, Kazzer.

4:54 pm

wildcat17

on the beach ata?

4:54 pm

lynxxx

hi Kazz

4:54 pm

Uniquity

Don't let Ata on the beach. She'll come back full of holes.

4:54 pm

Dorens

silly apple store... they have none in stock. they have some they could sell me, and they are exactly the same, but different inventory, and my warranty is still good for another 29 days (!)

4:54 pm

Atalante

for once, no. we wandered from home through the woods and fields around the local villages adn stuff

4:54 pm

wildcat17

absolutely use that warranty

4:55 pm

Kazzer99

funny old grid today - i still have 78 words to find

4:55 pm

Dorens

be careful on the beach ata, no broken bones or sprains, please

4:55 pm

wildcat17

woods are fun too ... see any good wildlife?

4:55 pm

Uniquity

Dorens, tell them to order one from another store. There are many ways to make that have a shorter wait. Thus is the point of warranties!

4:55 pm

wildcat17

struggling at 23 kaz

4:55 pm

kitthrin

I've seen that on apple laptops, that several versions of the keyboard look the same, but the plug underneath is just slightly different.

4:55 pm

Atalante

voles, a very dead rabbit, very live rabbits, squirrels ...

4:56 pm

lynxxx

ca6.27 ca & sit on a be*** & vowel

4:56 pm

Uniquity

And for Scrabbler's sake, those rabbits are still very alive, yes? Not eaten by the bouncy one?

4:56 pm

Dorens

oh i only said a while... i think it is only going to be a couple of days.. .meanwhile, i am just turning it off everytiime i am not using it. and i do have my cute little laptop, courtesy of my honey

4:56 pm

Atalante

very alive!

4:56 pm

Atalante

apart from the very dead one, of course

4:57 pm

Dorens

no rabbit eating allowed in babbleonia!

4:57 pm

Uniquity

The only apples I have had the misfortune to use hace been six years old and sadly outdated. I find them very uncomfortable and boring. Then again, I am attached to my poopy (but much loved!) laptop.

4:58 pm

Dorens

oh no, i love my mac... particularly when the warranty covers the problem!

4:58 pm

JaxH

Thanks for clues found them and fireworks!!

4:59 pm

Scrabbler

Greetings Babble buddies. I am lunging in the front yard under the trees, watching birds and squirrels.

4:59 pm

Uniquity

With computers, warranties are almost always worth their weight in gold. Particularly macs, because if they were to break it would be an arm and a leg. They break in the funniest ways! I am learning more about them as I have to use them at work.

4:59 pm

Kazzer99

congrat jaxh

4:59 pm

wildcat17

woohoo jax!!!

4:59 pm

lynxxx

congrat Jax!

Congratulations Jax!

4:59 pm

lunging huh scrabs

4:59 pm

lynxxx

hi Scrabbler

4:59 pm

Uniquity

Oh, Scrabs is lunging!

5:00 pm

Scrabbler

Haha, lunging..yep, I am using my epee.

5:00 pm

wildcat17

glad i'm over here then

5:00 pm

Scrabbler

I am in my lounge chair.

5:00 pm

wildcat17

don't you mean lunge chair?

5:00 pm

lynxxx

oh - lunging - I thought you were breathing in lots of air

5:01 pm

Haz1558

As long as you're not in a luge. Those things are mad.

5:01 pm

Scrabbler

It is one of those anti-gravity chairs that can tip back and hold me horizontally. $39 well spent--so comfy.

5:02 pm

Uniquity

Anti gravity? Horizontal? This sounds like a chair best used with a partner...

5:02 pm

Scrabbler

I turn into a human luge in the winter when I wipe out down a hill while cross-country skiing.

5:03 pm

Scrabbler

Don't tell, Hazel, but George will be here to share the chair soon.

5:03 pm

Uniquity

I expected as much.

5:03 pm

Haz1558

Of course he will, Scrabbler.

5:03 pm

Haz1558

So, how long is it since you last took your meds?

5:03 pm

Scrabbler

I live in an elaborate fantasy world.

5:04 pm

Dorens

was busy trying to figure out how to get picture of wildcat and me up here... just saw that scrabbler is out there lunging at the animals!

5:04 pm

Scrabbler

I decided that I don't need my meds, Hazel.

5:04 pm

Haz1558

You need to take them regularly for best therapeutic dose. Otherwise you'll get breakthroughs or blips in reality.

5:04 pm

Uniquity

Hm. Fantasy world. Horizontal anti-gravity chairs. What does Scrabs do in her spare time? *Thinks of how many times "restraints" have been mentioned..

5:04 pm

wildcat17

upload it to your computer dor

5:05 pm

Scrabbler

A chipmunk just peeked out from under a rock--he got scared when he saw me.

5:05 pm

Atalante

awww

5:05 pm

wildcat17

i'm sure he did with you lunging and luging in your chair

5:05 pm

Haz1558

Scrabbler, don't forget that you're a children's doctor, you leave the psychiatrists to do their work.

5:05 pm

Haz1558

It makes sense, doesn't it?

5:05 pm

Uniquity

She'll be logging in that chair before long.

5:06 pm

Scrabbler

Hazel, you make so much sense.

5:06 pm

Haz1558

(Am I being soothing and non-threatening? Don't want to spook Scrabbler)

5:06 pm

wildcat17

keep talking haz ... we'll sneak up behind her and gently wrap her in the big comfy jacket

5:07 pm

Scrabbler

I love being under the trees watching all of the birds. Also the squirrels are always out-squirreling me and figuring out how to get the bird seed.

5:07 pm

Haz1558

So, just lie back, relax and soon those silly thoughts will go...

5:07 pm

Haz1558

Well done, wildcat. She's a worry, isn't she?

5:07 pm

Scrabbler

I hardly slept last night so the sleep deprivation is making me goofy.

5:07 pm

wildcat17

uh huh

5:08 pm

Scrabbler

Help with ac6 please?

5:08 pm

Haz1558

Add two thirds of not old to the painful ac4/6

5:08 pm

Dorens

refresh if you want to see wilddcat17 with me in austin just a couple of days ago

5:09 pm

Haz1558

That's good, Scrabbler, you take your mind off George with these nice words.

5:09 pm

Dorens

(she's the pretty young one with the lovely long hair)

5:09 pm

Haz1558

Ooooh! Young, hip and trendy ladies!

5:09 pm

Scrabbler

TY, Hazel

5:09 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome, Scrabbler.

5:10 pm

Atalante

5:10 pm

wildcat17

you're waaaaay too kind dear

5:10 pm

Uniquity

Oh my, you look so happy! And sunblind, :)

5:10 pm

Haz1558

It certainly is - very natural and happy.

5:10 pm

wildcat17

very much sunblind

5:11 pm

Scrabbler

Nice photo, ladies!

5:11 pm

myrddyn

You know, I find it odd how some words aren't in babble's dictionary.

5:11 pm

Uniquity

Who was our photographer? Another babbler?

5:11 pm

5:11 pm

Haz1558

We feel your pain, myrddyn. Just remember that it's only one dictionary and it's just a game.

5:11 pm

Dorens

and how some words are very odd

5:12 pm

myrddyn

wish I knew what dictionary it was that doesn't have "dane" for example.

5:12 pm

lynxxx

ac7 ac & ***** for the holy grail

5:12 pm

Dorens

ac + high scoring 5, scrabbs

5:12 pm

wildcat17

enable and it's not perfect

5:12 pm

Dorens

propernoun, myrd

5:12 pm

Haz1558

Dane is capitalised and therefore not included.

5:12 pm

wildcat17

an older version I believe

5:12 pm

Uniquity

The dictionary is called Enable. This is an older version of it, although I don't know which.

5:12 pm

Scrabbler

Aha, I never considered using the q again.

5:12 pm

myrddyn

Ah.

5:13 pm

Dorens

understandable scrabbs. at least not after an ac

5:14 pm

Scrabbler

ah5 please? Yes, I am still working on the A's. Harumph.

5:15 pm

sebadoh

doren, I'm addicted to this game now and it is all your fault!

5:15 pm

Dorens

MY fault???? how's that?

5:15 pm

Uniquity

Ah, the blame game.

5:15 pm

wildcat17

hahahaha

5:15 pm

Scrabbler

No, Sebadoh, this game and community will greatly enrich your life and increase your word power.

5:15 pm

you're not that good with names, are you dear?

5:16 pm

Uniquity

Increase your word power and decrease your willingness to go to work in the morning.

5:16 pm

myrddyn

and keep you frustrated :)

5:16 pm

Haz1558

Well, time I was heading off again. Nice to speak with you all. Happy babbling!

5:16 pm

5:16 pm

sebadoh

yep. it is me

5:16 pm

Dorens

hah! it IS heather! welcome heather. we are going to have so much fun!!! (everybody, Heather is Ken's daughter and I am so glad she is here!)

5:16 pm

wildcat17

bye haz

5:17 pm

Uniquity

Maybe Dorens hosts a babble party every Sunday and is unsure who she got hooked this time.

5:17 pm

Scrabbler

Makes one realize how silly I was to spend time on housework in the past

5:17 pm

Atalante

bye dear!

5:17 pm

I stink at this, though

5:17 pm

wildcat17

oh good! hi heather!

5:18 pm

Uniquity

Well done at the guessing! I have a younger brother who claims to not remember his password, so he makes a new account whenever he babbles and then taunts me in chat until I ID him. He comes off a bit like a troll though :(

5:18 pm

Dorens

no heather, once you learn all these silly little "babblets" words that only exist in the dread enable dictionary, you'll be fine. and I will be your willing tutor

5:18 pm

sebadoh

hi wildcat!

5:18 pm

Uniquity

Sebadoh, I want to quit this grid, and I've been babbly for years. Literally.

5:18 pm

5:23 pm

I get it now. I am slow on the uptake today. Not sleeping does that. I just could not sleep last night.

5:24 pm

wildcat17

(tilapia is farm-raised)

5:24 pm

wildcat17

sorry about the sleeping ... I know that feeling well

5:24 pm

wildcat17

stressed about something?

5:24 pm

sebadoh

it is an old indie rock band. couldn't think of a better name...

5:24 pm

Uniquity

Is haddock in hard shape? I hope not, I love haddock. I already gave up shark and swordfish (but only because of the cost). Then again, I have access to stuff I know was caught 'safely'.

5:24 pm

wildcat17

cool obscure reference ... will keep people asking

5:25 pm

Atalante

haddock is, yes

5:25 pm

Scrabbler

Alas, still 10 A's to go.

5:25 pm

no such thing as a better name.... i was just curious. it is excellent, just unfathomable

72 Temple Owl

and i just missed haz :(

5:27 pm

Dorens

oh good i'm glad cause Ken cooks very delicious haddock and i don't want to give that up

5:27 pm

wildcat17

c's done

5:27 pm

Atalante

it's locally more than vulnerable, half because of cod's problems. Haddock is seen as an alternative, so everyone started fishing haddock ...

5:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

doren what are you doing for july 4?

5:28 pm

wildcat17

well if cod would stop having problems ...

5:28 pm

i was trapped in a tunnel on the metro for a half hour yesterday evening, but that was actually before that happened. so of course, i was crotchety once i finally got out, then i heard all about the crash + spent the rest of the evening dumfounded.
worked from home today, as the trains were still running slow this morning.
found out my best friend had her 3rd baby this morning, then found out this evening about the 2 people i knew...
so it was a bit of a rollercoaster of a day...

6:42 pm

gwenski

just confused on the chemical element. I'll think on it more

6:42 pm

Yeah, sometimes if you don't say a word, it goes unnoticed.

6:47 pm

redturtlehead

How do you guys deal with people who add you as a friend on FB and you dont really want to be their friend, my annoying cousin is doing this now.

6:48 pm

pam

Hi, all

6:48 pm

pam

Don't accept the invite, red!

6:49 pm

Anniebrook

red, one less headache for me...I am not on Facebook yet.

6:49 pm

redturtlehead

Hi Pam.

6:49 pm

Krista

ignore, or friend them then unfriend them when you think they won't notice for a while. :)

6:49 pm

Anniebrook

Hi pam

6:49 pm

redturtlehead

I love FB,but it brings the oddest people out of the woodwork.

6:49 pm

Krista

Hi Ms. Pam

6:49 pm

pam

Hi, red, annie, and fellow siouxsie fan, Krista

6:49 pm

redturtlehead

I unfriended my boss at work, and it has been such a relief.

6:49 pm

redturtlehead

I think I'll just ignore.

6:50 pm

pam

LOL, red, it does indeed. ON the ohther hand, I have reacquainted myself with a jr high friend, met some of her friends and have really had some fun

6:50 pm

Krista

isn't that the truth, Red

6:50 pm

redturtlehead

very hard to explain though as I will maybe someday have to see cousin again.

6:51 pm

Krista

:) Pam

6:51 pm

pam

that's the sticky wicket, red

6:51 pm

Krista

I am usually honest to a fault, but this is what white lies are made for. Friend her, then unfriend her, then say you don't know what happened. No good can come out of telling the absolute truth in this situation.

6:52 pm

Krista

That sounds terrible, doesn't it?

6:52 pm

Anniebrook

No.

6:52 pm

redturtlehead

Yes, I sort of figured thats what I'd tell the Nurse manager. I think though I might just ignore.

6:52 pm

pam

no, krista.

6:53 pm

redturtlehead

It doesnt sound bad Krista. I mean, there are some people that come up again and again on my screen, and I figure I have come up again and again as a friend option...

6:53 pm

redturtlehead

And I just figure we arent that interested in each other.

6:54 pm

Krista

*whew* glad I didn't sound like total manipulator, there...i read an article about FB and "worlds colliding" and all the sticky wickets it brings up...

6:55 pm

redturtlehead

I know there is some way to set certain accounts to limited access- some teachers use it etc... but I cant figure it out, and I would LOVE to put my whole family on that.

6:55 pm

pam

In some ways, it reminds me of this chog. The good aspects of FB and chog.

6:55 pm

pam

Oh, that would be appealing for some, red!!!

6:56 pm

Krista

my ex-husband'ss relatives are all on there...so is his fiance, who I like and we get along, but I don't want to step on her toes by being "friends" with the ex-inlaws..so I haven't friended them..oh yes, red..i didn't know about that

6:56 pm

redturtlehead

On another topic, is anyone watching "In Plain Sight"?

6:56 pm

gwenski

I have found FB to be a great way to stay in touch with family that are very scattered. Plus I've caught up with some HS friends. Fortunately haven't experienced the negatives yet.

6:57 pm

redturtlehead

I think the negative for me Gwen, is that there are people I dont want to come in contact with again...but they seem to want to contact me.

6:58 pm

Krista

Thanks for chat and clues..need to go...kids need me for something outside. Uh oh.

6:58 pm

gwenski

Probably worth investigating the various security settings someime then.

6:59 pm

pam

Later, Krista!

6:59 pm
