Trifioso

hmm, don't think so. my roommate from college is one of the featured sopranos at the newport music festival, so trying to arrange which day to see her. unfortunately, her best performance day is the day my kids are leaving for ireland with their dad, so that's out. bummer

12:56 am

Pinikula

that's exciting, eh, trif!

12:56 am

westford

that's too bad

12:56 am

Trifioso

1:00 am

Pinikula

* oh, sorry, dozed off for a second *

1:01 am

Trifioso

1:43 am

Trifioso

OMG - I clicked on a word defnition, and when I came back, all my words were gone! what the heck???

1:44 am

westford

1:44 am

Trifioso

1:44 am

Trifioso

1:46 am

westford

1:48 am

1:48 am

westford

1:49 am

westford

1:49 am

joshuavorbis

wr6 was my last word - superlative

1:49 am

westford

1:49 am

o-o

sorry, I asked a person at a diner and many responded while the food got cold

1:50 am

VolleymomDee

hi west!

1:50 am

westford

hi dee

1:50 am

westford

what was the consensus?

1:51 am

joshuavorbis

no list here

1:51 am

westford

you're the champ josh!!

1:51 am

o-o

there was none .. but more agreed with you

1:51 am

joshuavorbis

hardly. just a slow saturday night

1:51 am

Trifioso

I heard a great "would you rather" BR - would you rather eat the same food every meal for the rest of your life, knowing in all certainty that it would always be prepared to perfection, or eat a different meal every day for the rest of your life, with no repeats; some meals you would hate, some you would love, but you could never have the same thing twice? discuss....

1:52 am

joshuavorbis

that is not a difficult choice for me!

1:52 am

o-o

the latter for me

1:53 am

o-o

but thank you, Trif

1:53 am

westford

and me

1:53 am

Trifioso

I think it is not so easy - you could have meals you absolutely hated for a month straight. then what?

1:53 am

joshuavorbis

then the next good meal tastes so very great, and like nothing you've tasted before

1:53 am

o-o

then I die

1:54 am

westford

you'd have something to look forward to

1:54 am

rururocks

you would fit into those skinny jeans again

congrats, dart

1:55 am

Trifioso

huzzah dart!

1:57 am

Trifioso

another one I loved: if you had to, which could you listen to for 24 straight hours: a baby crying, a longshoreman swearing, or the song "it's a small world"

1:57 am

westford

lol what a choice

1:58 am

rururocks

I would go for the cussing

1:58 am

westford

I guess it would depend on what the longshoreman looked like

1:58 am

Trifioso

that';s what I picked too, ruru - at least that could be sort of funny

1:59 am

FMitch

To BRs Q: You can forgive w/o reconcilliation
To Trif's 1st one a different meal every day
and to the last q: anyone got a gun?

1:59 am

westford

how about being stuck in a loop on Small World at Disney with a crying kid in front and a swearing longshoreman in back

1:59 am

rururocks

It's a small world for ten minutes would do me in

2:00 am

Trifioso

good lawd west! I would hold my own head under the water!

2:00 am

Trifioso

good lawd west! I would hold my own head under the water!

2:01 am

rururocks

with barry manilow on his lap

2:01 am

Trifioso

my wasband and secondo got stuck on thunder mountain for 20 minutes, listening to the tape loop singing "mister bluebird on my shoul....mister blue bird on my shoul...." over and over and over

2:01 am

Trifioso

my wasband and secondo got stuck on thunder mountain for 20 minutes, listening to the tape loop singing "mister bluebird on my shoul....mister blue bird on my shoul...." over and over and over

2:02 am

Trifioso

whoops - sorry!

2:02 am

FMitch

lol Trif!

2:02 am

westford

let me guess what their favorite song isn't lol

2:03 am

Trifioso

his least fave would be anything with my name in it, hers is DEFinitely zip a dee doo dah

2:03 am

o-o

what comes to mind is what goes on at abu ghraib, guantanamo and other gulags

2:03 am

Trifioso

yes, branch davidians also

2:04 am

rururocks

Listening to It's a Small world would be way more effective with the terrorists than waterboarding

2:04 am

Trifioso

the music they pick is always strange, though. I couldn't listen to screamo, or marilyn manson, or something of that ilk. abba? please.

2:04 am

Trifioso

lol ruru!

2:09 am

Trifioso

i have FIVE letters where i am missing just one word. sigh....

2:10 am

westford

2:11 am

rururocks

2:11 am

Trifioso

think I will give it a break for now. it's 3 am, and I really shoudl try to sleep i think!

2:12 am

o-o

for a week before leaving for vietnam, we were housed in this colossal building with bunk beds stacked three high a foot apart. the lights were always on. there were constants announcements over the PA and random checks for awols. we would be awakened, if we did fall asleep, for an order check. solders were hiding in trees and under buildings ... truly a madhouse. was almost glad to leave

2:12 am

o-o

Be well, Trif

2:12 am

Trifioso

2:48 am

dinok

hi all, quiet chog today!

2:50 am

Fishbulb

morning folks

3:41 am

LoriP

G'd Morning Babblers!

3:44 am

Haz1558

Good morning Lori.

3:45 am

LoriP

Hazaurus!!!!!! <------

3:46 am

LoriP

Vive la Haz! :)

3:46 am

Haz1558

The one! Back to babbling without Uni?

3:46 am

Haz1558

When did she go back again?

3:47 am

LoriP

:( Sadly yes. She's an absolute sweetheart, brings laughter to a room. She left Wednesday morning.

3:47 am

LoriP

How's travel?

3:47 am

Haz1558

It's always strange for a while, isn't it? Kind of empty when they go.

3:48 am

Haz1558

Travel was fine- no major hitches at all. The internet is a wonderful resource.

3:48 am

LoriP

No annoying delays? Overbooking? Wow, I'm impressed.

3:49 am

Haz1558

Not a thing. The worst that happened was that we couldn't find a petrol station to fill up the hire car and had to ask in the airport.

3:50 am

Haz1558

But the French WILL keep persisting in driving on the wrong side of the road.

3:50 am

LoriP

Nicely done then. Au contraire, ala NA style travel, my niece took an entire day to get here from Baltimore Maryland. Weather had made it an all day nightmare, cancelled flights, the whole 9 yards.

3:51 am

Haz1558

Poor girl! It's not nice being left in limbo like that.

3:51 am

LoriP

lol, should I ever make my way across the Pond, I will not drive.almost 30 years of knowing what side to drive on is too ingrained now.

3:52 am

LoriP

Circled one airport in a holding pattern for an hour fifteen as her favorite part.

3:52 am

Haz1558

Oh, I refused to drive on principle. I talked, he drove, I thought it was a good splitting of skills.

3:53 am

LoriP

Honestly, I know that I'd instinctively stay NA style driving. I'd fear for all our lives if I were behind the wheel.

3:54 am

Haz1558

I know. I'm not great with left and right at the best of times, never mind when great lorries are bearing down.

3:54 am

LoriP

I lost track of time this week, you are still abroad, correct?

3:55 am

Deeha

I used to have to navigate, my left and right are verry confused so I used to write it on the back of my hand and, when I pointed, I could just read it off!

3:55 am

Haz1558

No, I'm home again. Edinburgh was last Thursday to Saturday, Sunday was Ballymena, Monday to Friday (yesterday) was Britanny, back to Ballymena now.

3:55 am

Haz1558

You're my kind of woman, Deeha. It's a bit of a mental block with me.

3:56 am

LoriP

Ahh, I'm suffering from mass confusion then. Shocking. Well, welcome home then! Spangle must be pleased.....

3:56 am

LoriP

Mornin' Deeha

3:56 am

Haz1558

Spangle was pleaeed - she has no sense of time, so the welcome we got was on a par with us coming back from an evening out.

3:56 am

Deeha

morning all. just dipping in while I kill time before going off to granddaughters second birthday party

3:57 am

Haz1558

Daughter 1 was at home to look after her, so her routine wasn't disturbed.

3:57 am

Haz1558

Don't eat too much breakfast, Deeha, leave room for the ice-cream and cake!

3:57 am

LoriP

Underwhelming then Haz. Happy Birthday to 'yer Granddaughter Deeha

3:58 am

Deeha

Many thans Lori obviously she is the most beautiful amazing child ever born.....!!

3:58 am

Haz1558

Naturally, Deeha.

3:59 am

LoriP

It goes without saying Deeha.

3:59 am

Haz1558

Do you think we'll ever get that grandmotherly rosy-eyed look, Lori?

4:00 am

Deeha

Hope you do I can thoroughly recommend it!!

4:00 am

LoriP

I'm fairly certain (for me) not for quite awhile. Uni has plans, and youngsters aren't among them.

4:00 am

Haz1558

I thought you might say that!

4:01 am

LoriP

I don't blame her really. She has spent her childhood Mothering a whackload of brothers.

4:02 am

Haz1558

Oh well, we're at the mercy of our offspring, I suppose.

4:03 am

Deeha

Right I am off for a nice long shower. Have a good day everybody byeeee

4:03 am

LoriP

lol, hasn't it been like that since their birth(s)?

4:03 am

LoriP

Enjoy the Birthday Deeha.

4:03 am

Haz1558

Have a good day, Deeha. Just think, the second anniversary of falling in love at first sight.

4:04 am

Haz1558

I thought that just as I typed it, Lori - you don't realise just how much life's perspectives are going to change once a baby arrives.

4:04 am

LoriP

Do you forsee the opportunity to sugar up Grandbabies and send them merrily home to their Mom's? :)

4:05 am

Haz1558

Not for a while yet.

4:05 am

LoriP

You really are voluntarily or involuntarily at their mercy. I don't think it changes, just the scenarios.

4:06 am

LoriP

I'm fine with it really. The kids have to decide for themselves. Someone who doesn't want children, shouldn't be pressured because of that choice. Enough unanted children now without adding to it.

4:06 am

LoriP

*unwanted even

4:07 am

Haz1558

Absolutely. And you can always kidnap (with permission) other people's grandchildren.

4:09 am

LoriP

I'm sure that should some crazy need to become maternal again grab hold, the neighborhood is full of people willing to let me use their children to spoil whilst they have a mental helath break.

4:10 am

LoriP

hah, bottom 2 rows done. Held up on a po 5, but 2 rows done now. NBR's! <----------

4:10 am

Haz1558

I always like seeing young children and grandparents together. The grandparents have time to slow down and listen while the child points out things that parents are too busy sometimes to stop and look at. Sometimes the child can't walk too fast and that suits the grandparent for neither can they...

4:11 am

LoriP

It's a great cycle of life really.

4:12 am

Haz1558

It is, and one good reason for families to try to stick together. Each element has something to contribute to the other.

4:15 am

Haz1558

Back shortly, load of laundry needing to be hung.

4:15 am

LoriP

See ya' in a bit.

4:18 am

FMitch

Morning all!

4:18 am

LoriP

FM!!!!! What are you doing here? Ata Hari gone already?

4:19 am

FMitch

yup just gone and she brought Hobbit too!!!!!

4:19 am

LoriP

lol, the power pack is with? Excellent. :)

4:20 am

FMitch

bliis :) she was v well behaved, Hobbit that is;)

4:20 am

LoriP

Prob'ally better than Ata Hari... :p

4:20 am

FMitch

4:21 am

FMitch

4:21 am

FMitch

LOL even

4:21 am

LoriP

lol, you had a nice visit then. Good for the soul!

4:22 am

FMitch

everso!

4:23 am

FMitch

I see Haz is back, hope to catch up with her later but for now I must scoot, but wanted to say a quick Hi and hugs :)

4:24 am

LoriP

***much hugarooneys*** Later gator!

4:28 am

Haz1558

Bonjour!

4:28 am

LoriP

Olla! wb ma'am

4:29 am

Haz1558

Gosh, have I just missed the whirlwind of activity that is FM?

4:29 am

LoriP

FM popped in for a sec, fart in a mitten style.

4:30 am

Haz1558

I'll catch up with her later, I'm sure.

4:32 am

Haz1558

Well, laundry out, a start made on the grid, looks like getting ready to go shopping (ugh!) is next.

4:32 am

Haz1558

The French will keep drving on the wrong side and this family WILL keep eating.

4:33 am

Haz1558

So, I'd better get ready for the fun to begin. See you later, Lori!

4:33 am

LoriP

Shopping, ewww. Good luck with that. Have a great day Haz!

4:39 am

ollics

5:24 am

FMitch

Morning zooz, first word and I greyed the y so a good start here.

5:26 am

zoozzoom

5:27 am

KatieMcG

5:27 am

zoozzoom

hi Katie...then it is sure to rain here soon then :-(

5:27 am

KatieMcG

morning Zooz & FM

5:27 am

zoozzoom

maybe i should go out now before it is too late.

5:28 am

KatieMcG

I'm just up and hubby still asleep so won't be going anywhere soon

5:28 am

FMitch

Hi katie, I had a visit this morning from Ata and Hobbit! am so happy :)

5:28 am

KatieMcG

Oh how lovely

5:29 am

FMitch

utterly brill, she stopped by for a while on her way up to see her Mum but surprised me with Hobbit too.

5:30 am

KatieMcG

it that the first time you have met?

5:31 am

FMitch

it just reconfirmed how much I miss having a cat or a dog.
No, we have met many times now.

5:32 am

KatieMcG

Oh the empty pet syndrome, I use to have it really badly as my ex would not allow any animals in the house!

5:32 am

KatieMcG

would you consider getting another animial?

5:32 am

FMitch

Oh yes!!!

5:33 am

FMitch

when I move (can't have pets where I live, a flat) I will be paying a visit to the local recuse home to find someone that wants to own me :)

5:34 am

KatieMcG

we are facing pet conflict as BIL is getting a new puppy this week, but it does mean that they can no longer stay over for our parties as it's not fair on our kitties. I'm not sure they will understand as they have a cat which loves dogs but ours don't!

5:34 am

KatieMcG

Lovely FM, think of all the joy of getting to know them

5:35 am

louuol2004

hi all.....i could make you jealous by saying that my fella just brought home a german shepherd puppy last night!!

5:35 am

FMitch

it is a huge commitment but the joy is overwhelming. What sort of pup is BIL getting?

5:36 am

FMitch

awe louu how lovely!

5:36 am

louuol2004

hes so sweet! im in love already! lol

5:36 am

FMitch

LOL

5:36 am

KatieMcG

A staffy bull, there are so excited, I am going to Scotland next weekend but hubby will be visiting him next saturday no doubt.

5:37 am

louuol2004

aww, i love staffys....but there are so many around where i live. hence why we got a shep instead

5:38 am

FMitch

only ever know one staffy and she was gorgeous but very territorial.

5:38 am

KatieMcG

their cat Fatso is so fat and lazy that he will be OK with it. They had to look after one when their son was having problems with his girlfriend, they made things up, they don't miss the son but desperately miss the dog

5:39 am

FMitch

lol the influence animals have on our lives eh?

5:40 am

KatieMcG

seriously they cancelled our holiday (phew) and bought a caravan as they can't go abroad when the get Jasper

5:42 am

FMitch

my paradise would include a cat, a dog and a horse, and a donkey to keep the horse company. Oh and a big vegetable garden seeing as I am dreaming :)

5:44 am

FMitch

anyway back to reality *dives into the grid*

5:44 am

Good evening folks - just popping back to see if I can help anybody.... smug smirk....I fireworked about an hour ago

5:04 pm

congrats, soddle :)

thank you VERY much...

5:06 pm

Glad to be of help!! :)

5:12 pm

gwenski

I'm back for a while.

5:12 pm

dcseain

wb, gwen

5:13 pm

gwenski

Thanks. Should be prepping for trip to west coast for son's wedding, but decided on a break first.

5:13 pm

dcseain

:) who can blame you

5:14 pm

gwenski

I figure the worst case is we'll get very little sleep the night before we leave. Then we can just sleep on the plane!

5:15 pm

dcseain

exactly so, gwen :) well thought out, IMHO

5:15 pm

Soodle

When is the wedding Gwen?

5:15 pm

gwenski

Friday night. But we leave Tuesday.

5:16 pm

Soodle

Oooh. Mother of the Groom is a VERY important person. I hope you have a great time.

5:16 pm

gwenski

Yes I know! I've already had some experience in that position.

5:16 pm

lynxxx

Goodmorning everyone.

5:16 pm

big red

FIREWORKS!

5:17 pm

Soodle

Hey Lynn

5:17 pm

lynxxx

Congrats BigRed!

5:17 pm

Soodle

Yay BigRed!!

5:17 pm

gwenski

WTG Big Red

5:18 pm

dcseain

congrats, big red

5:18 pm

Soodle

So, Gwen, will it be a very posh 'do' or a relaxed affair, or somewhere in between?

5:18 pm

dcseain

hi, lyn

5:18 pm

gapeach

Hey there, gwekski! I just read your profile. Beautiful dogs! My oldest daughter lives in Charlotte. Small world indeed, eh?

5:18 pm

gwenski

It's an outdoor wedding in the San Juan Islands in the Puget Sound.

5:19 pm

gwenski

Small indeed. Are you from GA? We lived there for four years.

5:20 pm

gapeach

Well, I managed to mispell your name, gwenski....sorry.

5:20 pm

Soodle

Oh Gwen - my US geography is very poor - is that Hawaii?

5:20 pm

gwenski

No, Washington State. Left upper corner of US.

5:20 pm

gapeach

Yes, well, I grew up in KY and moved to Augusta, GA in 1977....many happy years there. Where did you live in GA?

5:21 pm

gwenski

We lived in Mableton and I worked in Atlanta in the late 80's.

5:22 pm

Soodle

oooooh. Reading all these familiar (but unvisited) placenames is making me itch-footed!!

5:23 pm

gwenski

LOL. Hadn't heard the phrase 'itch-footed' before.

5:23 pm

Soodle

I think I just invented that - wait a couple of years, and it will be a babblet!!

5:24 pm

gapeach

My youngest daughter spent her freshman year at Agnes Scott College and finished at UGA (the tuition at Agnes Scott went beyond my means). Traveled to Atlanta many, many times.....just remembered the 285 route....awful then, guess it still is.

5:24 pm

Soodle

Gwen - I hope the wedding goes really well, and all the very best to the happy couple

5:25 pm

Nef

Back again. Just bathed the dog; now I have to dry off!

5:25 pm

big red

bye all. see ya at the flip

5:25 pm

Soodle

Bye Red

5:25 pm

Nef

Congrats, big red! Bye

5:25 pm

gwenski

Thanks Soodle. Bye Red.

5:26 pm

gapeach

gwen, when does the wedding take place?

5:26 pm

Nef

wedding? <persk up ears!>

5:27 pm

gwenski

Wedding is Friday night.

5:27 pm

gapeach

Well, my best to you and the wedding party. I'm sure it will be delightful.

5:28 pm

dcseain

gwen, may you travel be easy

5:28 pm

Nef

Congrats, gwen. Sounds like you will have fun.

5:28 pm

gwenski

Our son's wedding, Nef.

5:29 pm

Nef

out in Washington I see.

5:29 pm

gwenski

I think I'm at the point where I can relax and enjoy. There's just some many things to handle first -- travel, lodging, dog care, ... Now all that remains is packing.

5:30 pm

Nef

at least the parents of the groom don't have a heavy load at this point.

5:30 pm

CadFan

and celebrating, don't forget that!

5:30 pm

Soodle

Just looked at your profile Gwen. Sure, your an old hand at the mother of the groom bit. It'll be a doddle. Just sit back and enjoy!!

5:30 pm

CadFan

and Congratulations by the way.

5:31 pm

gwenski

I also filled in as mother of the groom at my brother's wedding last summer. (Our mom wasn't able to travel.) When it comes to wedding planning, it sure is great to have had boys!

5:32 pm

dcseain

lol gwen

5:32 pm

Soodle

Way-hey Gwen!! My eldest daughter (17) has her debs, or as you US people call it Prom next month. We went shopping today, and I am worn out, not speaking to her, and utterly dejected.

5:33 pm

gwenski

But did you get 'THE' dress?

5:34 pm

Nef

my dtr. has helped at least 6 friends plan their weddings and has made numerous veils. She tells me she'll never marry; but she sure was pushing her bf for a ring last Christmas (he didn't get her one

5:34 pm

Soodle

I may be speaking against my sex, but girls are HARD work. Yes. The GOWN (not dress) has been acquired. At ridiculous expense to her poor (very poor) mother!!

5:35 pm

gwenski

Our younger son had expensive taste in clothes, until he had to start paying for them himself!

5:36 pm

Nef

I hear you Soodle! When my dtr. (now 26) wanted a $250 dress for prom, I told her we'd make it. And we did!

5:36 pm

CadFan

I have a 14 1/2 year old - and appreciate utterly how exhausting they can be.

5:37 pm

CadFan

I also have a 19 year old boy, and an adopted will be 20 in Oct boy - they are not nearly as troubling....

5:37 pm

Soodle

Oh Nef - sounds like she doth protest too much! Of course she wants to marry. No matter how much humans evolve, we still crave committment and stability!

5:37 pm

gwenski

Of course, WE weren't like that as kids, right?

5:37 pm

CadFan

Of course, I was EXACTLY like that as a kid......

5:38 pm

Nef

Her prom dress ended up costing $80 even when I had to buy an extra piece of fabric after cutting a piece wrong.

5:38 pm

CadFan

Interestingly I think the female of the species graces commitment and stability - I am not convinced that that majority of males of the species crave that

5:39 pm

gapeach

The only consolation I had with my eldest was knowing that it would, someday, all come back to her. And it has! Actually, she is having more trouble than she gave. Still, at 53, calls me when the whole world is against her (she thinks)...and, of course, I console and try not to advise too much.

5:40 pm

Soodle

Speaking as a 'suddenly single' mum of 3 - of course I can see how the youngsters crave 'the one'. I have to bite my lip to stop the 'bitter and twisted' comments. Oh my. Its a long and lonely road I walk!!

5:40 pm

Nef

truth is; I'd rather she and her bf break up. They've gone together 3 years now and he's always unemployed. Nice guy; just no ambition (and she has lots; --not always properly directed though

5:41 pm

gapeach

Soodle, you are not walking that road alone....always know that.

5:41 pm

Soodle

Of course I know that Gape. But sometimes, well, you know ...

5:42 pm

gwenski

**thinking it's time I look at the letters on the left**

5:42 pm

Soodle

Gapeach - did I misread the chog, or do you have a daughter of 53?

5:43 pm

gwenski

** not because of the conversation, but because the words aren't filling up the list themselves**

5:43 pm

grant

Anyone up for cluing the eq5?

5:44 pm

Soodle

((((whispers))) Gwen - I fireworked a while ago - want any clues? I wont tell, if you dont

5:44 pm

gapeach

Yes, I do know. Simon and Garfield had a song..Bridge Over Troubled Waters...do you remember the lyrics? 'If you need a friend, I'm traveling right behind...'

5:44 pm

gwenski

((haven't pulled the list up yet, so not yet. But thanks for the offer.))

5:45 pm

Soodle

Grant - think of English slang for a pound and add an 'e' to the start

5:45 pm

grant

Hey thanks, Soodle for the good clue.

5:46 pm

Soodle

Gapeach - I know that song, and I am humming it as I speak. Thank you :)

5:46 pm

Soodle

YW Grant

5:46 pm

gapeach

Yes, Soodle, there wasn't much to do in the small town (then), so the girls married very young. I think I grew up with her.

5:47 pm

Soodle

Gapeach - Mothers are the very best invention since time began. (And I am talking about my own Mom here, not myself)

5:48 pm

Soodle

Grant - Can I be of any more help to you?

5:48 pm

gwenski

Time to find a list, so I can then ask for help!

5:48 pm

gapeach

I agree, Soodlebum. I just bet that you are a great mom.

5:49 pm

grant

Nope, that was my last one

5:50 pm

Soodle

I do my best, Gape, but now at 11.50pm, I'm thinking back to how cranky I was when Sarah was traipsing around dress shops, and I am feeling guilty

5:50 pm

Soodle

Heck. Guilt goes with the Mom territory, doesn't it?

5:51 pm

gapeach

Yep. Be gentle with your self.

5:52 pm

Soodle

Ty Gape

5:53 pm

gapeach

I'm being called for dinner....I have one word left...back in a few.

5:53 pm

gwenski

No! Find the word first!!

5:55 pm

Soodle

Gape - how can you just leave one word? That would do my head in!!!

5:55 pm

lil*monkey

soodlebum, weren't you here chatting early this AM when I was last here????

5:56 pm

ah-ha, missing one i was, ty lyn :)

6:03 pm

Hello everyone - sorry - I don't intend to be rude - just pop in once in a while and well - engage mouth before putting brain in gear

6:03 pm

origami

Thanks!! Look, I can talk the lingo now :-)

6:05 pm

Nef

Cad, I think all of us pop in and out if we aren't completely "hard core" babblers. Hmmm; maybe even they do that!?

6:06 pm

CadFan

LOL - I am not a "hard core babbler" can't even remeber that last time I finished a puzzle

6:06 pm

Soodle

Cad - just seen your chog - how old is cad junior?

6:07 pm

lil*monkey

littlebit are you there????

6:07 pm

GreyWoulf

Hardcore is not about finishing the puzzle... at least to me -- hard core means sharing a love for vocabulary and being willing to actively participate in the chat

6:07 pm

CadFan

She turned 14 on Feb 1

6:07 pm

GreyWoulf

HI all

6:08 pm

CadFan

In that definition GreyWoulf - I am TOTALLY hard core :)

6:08 pm

Soodle

snap. MY youngest turned 14 on Feb 15th. She is still a little sweetie,but I know she will turn into a raving hormone infested witch before the end of the year!!

6:09 pm

GreyWoulf

When I first discovered this site, I used to play everyday, to the point that I actually spent an entire day playing a 484 word puzzle done... and I was very active in the log every single day

6:09 pm

lynxxx

me5.12 me & Walt Dis***y....a word not been in for a while. Bye everyone, off to enjoy my Sunday. Sun is out, which is sad as we still need a HEAP of rain

6:10 pm

GreyWoulf

Nowadays, I still consider myself hardcore, but I count my blessings that I get to chat at least once a month... if that

6:10 pm

lil*monkey

phantom: renege

6:10 pm

gwenski

Yes, it is really nice to come back to this game after being away for a while!

6:10 pm

Soodle

I have 3 teenagers here. An 18 yr old boy, a 17 yr old girl and a 14 yr old girl. I keep telling them that when the menopause hits - I will match them, hormone for hormone!! lol

6:11 pm

dcseain

WOW that loud music is from the Reston Festival, 6 blocks away! It must be deafening near the stage.

6:12 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi gwen!!

I love the fact that we can go away and come back as time allows and the log still accepts us

6:13 pm

gwenski

Hi Grey. Wow -- your son is 3 already?

6:13 pm

origami

dc, for the rioja vinegar, try looking up Basque recipies ... used a lot

6:13 pm

GreyWoulf

hopefully, it is music that you like, dc!

6:14 pm

GreyWoulf

Scary but true, gwen -- and still way too fearless for my own sanity -- it seems like everyday he has given himself another bump from climbing

6:15 pm

gwenski

I saw a video of my 2 yr-old grandson fearlessly climbing up a chain link fence.

6:16 pm

GreyWoulf

My apartment complex has an tennis court enclosed by a 12 foot fence-- a short while ago, we stopped by there during a walk.... I looked away for just a minute and when I looked back he had climbed six feet up and wanted to keep going!!

6:16 pm

CadFan

Always thought my son wuld be the problem child - and in some ways he has been - injury prone - not a stellar student (because he is LAZY), our foster son has every reason in the world to be a complete deadbeat derelict - and yet it is my brilliant, straight A. gymnast daughter who gets a minor in comsumption ticket at the age of 14.5 (after she and a friend snuck out of her friends house at 1 in the morning)

6:17 pm

Nef

Hi Grey. I wandered away from the computer a few minutes and you wandered in! I feel hard core too sometimes. I do find that if I don'tfinish a grid for a while I become unhappy with myself. However, my goal now is to stay out of the PB (I'm on a Mac; so I don't have the fancy program to keep chat separate from words

6:17 pm

gwenski

Well folks, I've really enjoyed this today, but it's time for me to go. Until next time... Bye!

6:17 pm

CadFan

Goodbye Gwen

6:17 pm

dcseain

bon voyage, gwen :)

6:18 pm

Soodle

bye Gwen, and if i dont see you - enjoy the nuptials!! X

6:18 pm

Nef

bye gwen

6:18 pm

gwenski

Thanks everyone. **poof**

6:18 pm

GreyWoulf

Hey hey, Nef -- I have been lurking for a bit actually -- I just needed some quiet time while I destressed from my crazy work week -

6:18 pm

GreyWoulf

so long, gwen {*hug*}

6:19 pm

Soodle

Cad - what can you say - 'vive la differance@@

6:22 pm

GreyWoulf

btw, Nef -- my trick for avoiding the PB is to keep the chat open in one window, and hunt for words in a separate window, both reduced to show just what they were meant for

6:23 pm

CadFan

Must say, when she said to me 'What do you expect".. I couldnt think of anything. When I think of it in retrospect - I cannot imagine that I truly had the restraint to no knowk her head right off her shoulders. Imagine - the police bring your 14 year old home DRUNK at 14????? It happened and I STILL can't figure it out

6:25 pm

CadFan

that should have said "not knock her head right off her shoulders"

6:25 pm

Nef

Grey, I'll give that a try and we'll see if that will help or not. I have to leave shortly (b'day party for 84 y/o Aunty) so will try it when I come back!

6:25 pm

Soodle

Oh crikey Cad - thats not an easy one.

6:25 pm

CadFan

Happy Birthday Aunty!!!!

6:26 pm

CadFan

No kidding - I cannot - for even a nonsecond imagine what they hell she was thinking. Court date Aug 6

6:26 pm

Nef

{{{Cad}}} kids can make you old fast at that age.

6:26 pm

origami

i'm sure there are all times we really feel like creating great bodily harm ... but we control those nasty impulses

6:26 pm

CadFan

She is far too beautiful and /// attractive for her age....

6:26 pm

Nef

Time to go BBL! Good Luck all!

6:27 pm

dcseain

hasta, nef, be well

6:27 pm

Soodle

Cad - 14 is a very very tricky age. Its a bit like childbirth - we all blank out the bad bits - hence you and me cant remember it properly. But, she has the support of a great mom, and, God willing, she will be fine. ((((thinking of you))))

6:28 pm

CadFan

which makes it NO easier.However - her brothers who have both graduated but were well known football/track athleletes, know all the "older" boys at the school - so the is helpul :)

6:28 pm

GreyWoulf

most likely, Cad -- she wasn't -- not a criticism, just an observation... kids come up with all sorts of ideas and just don't have the life experience to recognise the probable consequences

6:28 pm

CadFan

beautiful and developed, that is what I meant...

6:28 pm

CadFan

ugh -

6:28 pm

GreyWoulf

so long, Nef

6:28 pm

CadFan

See I kind of think - she

6:29 pm

CadFan

is a bit too smart for her own good - she really did think this is what all the kids do - and had NO idea what it meant

6:29 pm

horsegal

Hi everyone...can anyone clue the first PO5/16? Please...

6:30 pm

GreyWoulf

Sounds like she is going to learn the truth the hard way... unfortunately, you got swept along in her learning curve

6:30 pm

Soodle

Horsegal - think Edgar Allen PO* and add an sy

6:30 pm

dcseain

a pretty po5 for my Daisy :)

6:30 pm

CadFan

Hmm I have no po 5/16 so perhaps I should change my focus!

6:30 pm

tee_jay

i'm not sure if it's the first, but think Happy Days character

6:31 pm

CadFan

LOL picked up two there, thanks!

6:31 pm

dcseain

6:31 pm

horsegal

6:31 pm

dcseain

pick a PO5 from the garden for my Daisy.

6:31 pm

CadFan

As for Ms Dayna - I need to re-learn my breahting techniques...... she was a natural childbirth - that should have clued me in.....

6:32 pm

horsegal

Got it...THANK YOU dcseain

6:32 pm

CadFan

Thanks for letting me unload. I have talked about this a bit with my sister and of course with my husband - but NO one else.

6:33 pm

GreyWoulf

Seriously - thanks folks. Some years ago - my son was very seriously injured in an accident - I made arrangements right away to ask for prayers - but truly felt equipped to deal with the situation. This one for my daugher - has me completely flummoxed. I appreciate the support very much (not to say that I didn't with Graham., because I totally did and it was a literal miracle that he survived).
