o-o

hello, DR

1:19 am

Alley Cat SF

flosey what was your daughter doing here? business or pleasure?

1:20 am

flosey

on a brief business trip

1:20 am

DR1965

could not sleep so decided tocheck out the grid

1:21 am

Alley Cat SF

hopefully she was here during one the unseasonable (for us) warm days.

1:21 am

flosey

she didn't mention the weather, SF is such an exciting city

1:22 am

DR1965

hello and welcome Alley Cat

1:22 am

Alley Cat SF

yes but summer is not the time to visit. may and october are the warmest

1:22 am

Alley Cat SF

thx DR

1:23 am

J. C.

Summer isn't chilly there, surely?

1:23 am

flosey

really, that's interesting, can't imagine summer being cool

1:23 am

flosey

I was there in October - many many years ago

1:24 am

J. C.

Well here, flosey, yes - but I wouldn't imagine it could be in California?

1:24 am

flosey

right jc,

1:25 am

Alley Cat SF

a famous author once said (why his name escapes me right now....) the coldest winter i ever spent was a summer in SF. it's our fog time. cold air from the pacific meets warm air from east right over our heads! usually very chilly (right now at 11:30 it's 55)

1:26 am

J. C.

Wow, Alley Cat!

1:26 am

flosey

interesting Alley

1:26 am

DR1965

while down here in sd it is 70

1:27 am

flosey

it's going to be a hot night for sleeping tonight, no idea what the temp is, just hot

1:27 am

DR1965

* sends so,e warmth up the coast

1:27 am

DR1965

* some

1:27 am

o-o

59Â°F ... a warmer night

1:27 am

flosey

we could send some down as well

1:27 am

Alley Cat SF

imagine, 55, windy and damp (from the fog) feels like 45. people here wear winter coats in the summer often.

1:28 am

J. C.

Oh yes, I can imagine that, quite easily . . .

1:28 am

flosey

oh my! we're concerned about forest fires up here right now

1:28 am

J. C.

Are you on the West coast, flosey?

1:28 am

flosey

yes

1:29 am

J. C.

We hear/read about them happening in that area.

1:29 am

flosey

Jilli and I live on the same small island

1:29 am

J. C.

Oh, how nice - did you know one another before Babble, or meet on here?

1:30 am

flosey

Jilli introduced me to babble - we play bridge at same club

1:30 am

J. C.

Oh, I see! :)

1:30 am

flosey

I was immediately hooked!

1:30 am

DR1965

nice!

1:31 am

o-o

Have the budget problems had an impact on you, Alley Cat ... must be very troublesome

1:32 am

J. C.

Yes, flosey - same with me. I'm a word game and puzzle addict! :P

1:32 am

Alley Cat SF

not directly. cutbacks in city services impacted summer plans a little. thx

1:34 am

jillibus

silly me, I've been looking for normal words here

1:34 am

J. C.

Hmmm . . . well, I haven't found any abnormal ones yet, so no wonder I still have 36 left! :/

1:35 am

J. C.

Erm - make that 34. :P

1:35 am

jillibus

having said that, I promptly found some normal ones

1:36 am

J. C.

Or course . . .

1:36 am

J. C.

You would think I would find the abnormal ones - being that way, myself. :P

1:36 am

jillibus

JC, you're a perfectly normal poofter!

1:37 am

diem

hi all

1:37 am

J. C.

HAHAHA . . . why *thank* you, Jilli dahhhhling! ;) *Flips limp wrist!*

1:37 am

jillibus

well, maybe rather more talented than most

1:37 am

jillibus

hi diem

1:37 am

J. C.

Hmmm . . . I'm sure that's debatable! :P

1:38 am

flosey

ah jc, you're cute

1:38 am

flosey

hi there diem

1:38 am

J. C.

How would you know, flosy - you've never seen me?

1:38 am

diem

warm enough for you Jilli? hi Flosey

1:39 am

flosey

referring to your personality, not looks, and very friendly

1:39 am

jillibus

Oh foo -- I have a little sign I bought in Pennsylvania Dutch country which says "Outen the light" and enable says outen isn't a word.

1:39 am

J. C.

Awww, why thank you! :)

1:39 am

flosey

a bit warm for sleeping diem

1:39 am

J. C.

I think it is in Dutch, Jilli. ;)

1:39 am

J. C.

Perhaps?

1:40 am

jillibus

diem, I love this weather -- know how to cope from years in warm climes

1:40 am

J. C.

But what would I know - I don't speak Dutch.

1:40 am

jillibus

actually, it should be Pennsylvania Deutsch, I'm told

1:41 am

J. C.

Ist das richtig???

1:41 am

not for me, josh

1:45 am

flosey

hi there josh

1:45 am

joshuavorbis

hi. how is everyone this evening

1:45 am

o-o

Studies show that drivers who talk on cellphones are four times more likely to be in a crash and drive just as erratically as people with an 0.08 percent blood-alcohol level.

In one study cited by the highway safety agency, â€œdrivers found it easier to drive drunk than to drive while using a phone, even when it was hands-free.â€

1:45 am

J. C.

This morning . . . ;)

1:46 am

J. C.

I can certainly believe that, BabbleRabble . . .

1:46 am

flosey

interesting BR, it always bothers me to see drivers on cell phones

1:46 am

J. C.

Oh yes, me too, flosey . . .

1:47 am

joshuavorbis

i saw that in the newspaper today - the information was apparently withheld for quite some time

1:47 am

J. C.

If my mobile goes off while I'm driving, I ignore it - when I stop, I look to see who rang and return their call.

1:47 am

jillibus

why withhold that information!

1:47 am

Silverback

hi all fireworks tough little cookie this one.

1:47 am

J. C.

When I reach my destination, that is . . .

1:47 am

o-o

yes, the agency head did not want to upset Congress

1:47 am

Kazzer99

hoorah - fireworks for me

1:48 am

J. C.

Silverback! Top of the morning to you! :)

1:48 am

flosey

good for you jc

1:48 am

jillibus

YAY silver!!!

1:48 am

o-o

congrats, Silverback

1:48 am

flosey

wtg Kazz

1:48 am

Silverback

hi jc hows things

1:48 am

jillibus

YAY kazz!!!

1:48 am

J. C.

And congrats, Silverback - not sure I'll finish now.

1:49 am

jillibus

I have 6 BTs and only 27 words -- granted, watching TV news and chatting...

1:49 am

o-o

congrats, Kazzer

1:49 am

J. C.

Oh, well - look on profiles, Silverback. I left a notice there.

1:49 am

Kazzer99

reading the mobile thing - here its a Â£1000 fine if you get caught using it whilst driving and apparently you can even go to jail

1:49 am

flosey

wtg Silverback - haven't seen you here before, welcome to babble

1:49 am

J. C.

The network, you know . . .

1:49 am

Silverback

had to use the list for a few :(

1:49 am

J. C.

Yes, Kazzer - but many do it anyway. :/

1:50 am

J. C.

When they think they can't get caught and fined.

1:50 am

J. C.

I haven't opened the list yet, Silverback - I've been resisting, but I think resistance is futile. :P

1:50 am

Kazzer99

dont i know - but my hubby is very good - his mobile goes through to the sat nav and it acts like a hands free kit

1:51 am

jillibus

even hands-free is distracting, they say

1:51 am

J. C.

I find even hands-free is too distracting, so I don't have it.

1:51 am

Kazzer99

any way peeps its nearly time for work so i must finish getting ready.

1:51 am

flosey

right jilli - it still isn't the same as a conversation with someone in the car with you

1:52 am

J. C.

Yes Jilli, I find it is - for some reason, it's worse than having a passenger in the car, and talking with them!

1:52 am

flosey

bfn Kazz, see you tomorrow

1:52 am

Silverback

mobile phone drivers yuck!!! i once had aomeone travelling with four children in a 4x4 none strapped in on a mobile driving less than 20 feet at 60mph at minus four degrees. !

1:52 am

jillibus

have a good day, kazz

1:52 am

Kazzer99

i know jc but folks do worst things - we saw some women putting her makeup on - thought it was an urban legend until i saw it for my self

1:52 am

J. C.

I've seen that, Kazzer . . . :(

1:53 am

J. C.

And I've heard horrible stories of women doing that, then winding up being killed. :(

1:53 am

o-o

to have an agency head withhold valuable information from the public because it may upset Congress is getting to be so typical, even if so wrong ... politics is a dirty business

1:53 am

Kazzer99

good luck jilli with the grid - had to go to the list for the last 20 or so but it was worth it for the lack of grief and the fact that i wont have time to come back tonight

1:54 am

jillibus

I find it hard to forgive my d-i-l for phoning my son when he was driving me from the airport to their home (among other things)

1:55 am

jillibus

of course, he shouldn't have had the mobile turned on

1:55 am

J. C.

Or he should have simply ignored it, when it rang. I don't answer mine while driving . . .

1:55 am

joshuavorbis

so bummed that nuevo is not accepted

1:56 am

jillibus

Oh, he can'tignore her, JC!

1:56 am

J. C.

Well, 30 left - and I have to go. Will try to finish it later.

1:57 am

Silverback

jc nothing on profiles

1:57 am

J. C.

Hmmm, Jilli - I could, while driving! Nothing's worth risking life.

1:57 am

J. C.

Silverback - I mean on Yahoo! Profiles - the network.

1:57 am

jillibus

I quite agree, JC

1:57 am

J. C.

I left a little note there - the status message.

1:58 am

Silverback

ahh ok thx

1:58 am

jillibus

I got that message, JC -- must be a pain, avoidance

1:59 am

J. C.

Yes, Jilli - well, this one's a long story. :/ This is a different person, than the other one I mentioned.

1:59 am

jillibus

oh boy!

1:59 am

J. C.

Anyway, must dash - and finish this at some point later!

1:59 am

J. C.

Have fun, everyone! ;)

1:59 am

Inside the lamented
And made cider inside her insides.

3:24 am

rururocks

ta ta!

3:24 am

FMitch

Bye ruru.
yay lynxxx!

3:25 am

Haz1558

The ou words are reminding me of the nest of house-martins nesting in our eaves. At first, all you could hear was the cheeping of the baby birds. Now, they're actually hanging out of the nest waiting for the parents to come and feed them.

3:25 am

FMitch

lol great observation Haz ;)

3:25 am

Haz1558

I'd love to be around when they try to venture out for the first time, let's hope they haven't been fed too generously to take wing easily.

3:25 am

lynxxx

How lovely, does Spangle gaze at them?

3:26 am

FMitch

There was a crow in the garden yesterday doing horrid things to a couple of nests.

3:26 am

Haz1558

It's funny, Spangle doesn't seem to have taken a great deal of interest. But it's hilarious to see these little heads peeping out cheeping constantly.

3:27 am

FMitch

a cat would be much more interested i would think.

3:28 am

Haz1558

They're really high up, but I can imagine next door's cats being ready for any casualties.

3:29 am

Haz1558

It's kind of frightening to think that if they don't get the hang of flying straight away - curtains!

3:29 am

lynxxx

Does Spangle allow cats into your garden

3:30 am

Haz1558

If she's inside the house, she makes her objections very loudly. If she's outside, she puts on a great show of chasing the intruders.

3:30 am

Haz1558

The cats deliberately stroll past the front window just to annoy her, I'm sure of it.

3:31 am

lynxxx

Good dog!

3:31 am

FMitch

lol

3:31 am

Haz1558

The most dramatic episode is if she's surveying the land from the top of the stairs and a cat saunters past. She misses half a dozen steps in her haste to smash through the front door.

3:32 am

Haz1558

Not that she should be upstairs, since it's against the rules of the house, but she likes to sneak up once in a while.

3:32 am

FMitch

do you have wooden or carpeted flooring at the bottom of the stairs?

3:33 am

FMitch

*imagines Spangle skidding out of control*

3:33 am

Haz1558

It's wooden. Carpet on the stairs and then a hard, shiny surface for sliding...

3:33 am

lynxxx

imagines Spangse being read the Rules of the House

3:34 am

FMitch

heh heh

3:34 am

Haz1558

I know! We need to go over them again with her, I think her memory is fading.

3:34 am

Haz1558

Or maybe we need to remind ourselves of what we said originally.

3:35 am

lynxxx

and of she is clever, she turns her body at the last minutes so that her rump smashes into the door. Our Bob used to do that

3:35 am

Haz1558

She's certainly never managed to do herself any harm.

3:37 am

Haz1558

Does Stew have similar cat objections, lynxxx?

3:37 am

lynxxx

I must get new keyboard for this laptop, about a third of the letters have worn off.My spelling is not quite as bad as it seems

3:38 am

lynxxx

Stew is very wary of cats. Bravest thing he has managed is a bark at one accross the road, tail between his legs at the time

3:38 am

Haz1558

I'm being taunted by tenues (from yesterday) not quite being here today.

3:39 am

FMitch

phone brb

3:39 am

Haz1558

Did the cat show any sign of being intimidated? They seem to be deaf and blind as far as Spangle is concerned. Being chased is the only thing that moves them.

3:41 am

FMitch

Taunting dogs is part of a cats remit isn't it?

3:42 am

lynxxx

Most of them are arrogant beasts. Let's see if that flushes any cat lovers out

3:42 am

Haz1558

I suppose it must be. I've never had a cat.

3:42 am

Haz1558

You like cats, don't you, FM?

3:43 am

FMitch

One here already lynxx, had both cats and dogs in childhhod

3:43 am

Haz1558

They just seem to live life on their terms. They wouldn't hang round long enough to listen to the Rules of the House, I would imagine.

3:43 am

lynxxx

Nor I, and Ken is allergic so never will

3:46 am

Haz1558

I suppose if you ever wanted to annoy Ken, you'd discover a long suppressed desire to have a cat.

3:47 am

Haz1558

But you'd be stuck with the creature as well so things about noses being cut off and faces being spited spring to mind.

3:47 am

lynxxx

A new ground for divorce I should think

3:48 am

Haz1558

I think it would come under either unreasonable behaviour or irreconcilable differences, you're right.

3:54 am

FMitch

must go and get changed, have to head out in about an hour, back shortly.

3:54 am

Haz1558

See you later, FM.

3:55 am

lynxxx

I might get going to. Have a good day Haz & FM

3:55 am

Haz1558

Thanks lynxx. Enjoy your evening.

3:56 am

FMitch

Bye lynxx, have a good evening

4:22 am

LoriP

***test, test***

4:23 am

FMitch

***inbound***

4:23 am

FMitch

*passes a towel* G'morning Lori :)

4:23 am

LoriP

lol, that was tres weird. I tried to say g'd morning twice, and nothing happened. It all just disappeared.

4:24 am

Aloyisius

hi Babblers! small grid today.

4:24 am

FMitch

I had similar probs yesterday, had to give up on the chat in the end.

4:24 am

LoriP

***begrudgingly accepts towel*** G'd Morning FM, Babblers!

4:24 am

LoriP

Hey Aloy, 'yer up early.

4:25 am

FMitch

Yay Aloy!!

4:25 am

Aloyisius

yes, I am up early.. was ill yesterday, so went to bed very early.. howdy FM.. (-:

4:25 am

FMitch

hope you're feeling better today!

4:26 am

LoriP

Yuk, hope you're feeling more better-er today then.

4:26 am

Aloyisius

ty, I am.. sleep is my "cure all".. think it was a touch of tummy flu

4:26 am

FMitch

It is a good grid today with a few challenges.

4:26 am

Haz1558

Look what happens when your back's turned. People arrive!

4:26 am

Aloyisius

hi there, Haz!

4:27 am

Haz1558

Good morning to all of you.

4:27 am

FMitch

They were ringing the doorbell for ages so I let them in, in your absence.

4:28 am

Haz1558

That was good of you. I'll have to speak to the butler and see what his excuse is.

4:28 am

LoriP

G'd Morning Hazaurus! Not nice to lock the Babble door. Uncool. I almost had to boost Aly in through a window.

4:28 am

LoriP

*Aloy even

4:28 am

FMitch

LOL great image.

4:29 am

Haz1558

Have we taken security too far?

4:29 am

Aloyisius

lol.. as if I could fit!

4:29 am

Haz1558

Should I disconnect the electric fence?

4:29 am

LoriP

The barbed wire was a tad much. I'm wearing new jammies, and now they're all torn.

4:29 am

FMitch

probably best yes Haz, a tad too overprotective I think.

4:30 am

Haz1558

Come on, Aloy, if Santa can fit down all those chimneys, I'm sure you can get in through a window.

4:30 am

Aloyisius

you all are so "awake" ! am starting my day with giggles

4:30 am

Haz1558

Don't be looking to me to darn those jammies.

4:30 am

FMitch

Good way to start the day Aloy :)

4:30 am

LoriP

I wonder if I can return them as defective.

4:31 am

Aloyisius

amen, FM (-:

4:31 am

Haz1558

They're obviously not fit for purpose.

4:31 am

LoriP

Aloy's especially relieved, since the window in question bears a 'wet paint' sign.

4:31 am

Haz1558

Oh, that sign's always there.

4:31 am

Aloyisius

Lori, how did you know I've been painting?

4:32 am

Haz1558

It means nothing. Like half the burglar alarm casings in the country.

4:32 am

LoriP

I'm psychic! Not to be confused with psycho.

4:33 am

Haz1558

There's a very fine line. Very fine.

4:33 am

FMitch

the painthe rainbow of paint on your face gave it away Aloy (I am presuming that is not your usual look, might be wrong tho)?

4:34 am

LoriP

Next time aloy, may I suggest water based paint? :p

4:34 am

Aloyisius

well, at least it is a pretty color.. periwinkle blue

4:35 am

Haz1558

Periwinkle blue sounds good. Have you ever thought of hiring LoriP's water-cannon and using it for paint. Speedy and fun home improvement, you've got to love it.

4:36 am

Aloyisius

speedy too! kaboom!

4:36 am

FMitch

so the yellow and green is your natural colouring?

4:36 am

Haz1558

Just be sure to stand out of the way if you want to avoid your shape preserved for posterity.

4:36 am

LoriP

With my cannon, the job would be done in jig time. Toughest part is masking off everything.

4:36 am

Aloyisius

..sipping coffee, waking brain cells.. still giggling

4:37 am

Haz1558

Masking is for wimps.

4:37 am

Haz1558

Do you think Jackson Pollock masked?

4:37 am

LoriP

Exactly. Proper aiming of the cannon is all that's needed. A little Science if you please.

4:37 am

FMitch

Masking is the proper and professional way of doing it!

4:38 am

Aloyisius

lol.. Must write that one down, "masking is for wimps"..

4:38 am

Aloyisius

home deco ala Haz

4:38 am

Aloyisius

you should write a book, Haz

4:39 am

LoriP

Leave it to FM to look for short cuts.

4:39 am

Haz1558

I know, what masking tape is going to withstand paint filled water cannon? Just go with the concept of a one colour room.

4:39 am

Haz1558

I should, Aloy, it would revolutionise current thinking.

4:39 am

FMitch

*douses Lori again*

4:40 am

LoriP

It's also faster to paint the carpet rather than steam clean it.

4:40 am

LoriP

Hey! What was that for?

4:40 am

Haz1558

Exactly, Lori.

4:40 am

Haz1558

And there's no fuss about things matching. Everything's the same colour.

4:40 am

LoriP

2 jobs, 1 tool. What's not to love?

4:40 am

FMitch

I was practicing my Pollock technique but slipped up.

4:41 am

Aloyisius

ack.. had the carpet steam cleaned and guess what happened? An odor came up.. really bad.. as if cats had used the room, had to have the room retreated.. no cats in there for years..???

4:41 am

Haz1558

Pollock had a technique? You mean there was a method to his splattering?

4:41 am

LoriP

Happens all the time Aloy. Carpet is evil that way.

4:42 am

Aloyisius

hidden in the padding.. evils arise

4:42 am

Haz1558

Pesky cats, Aloy. You'll remember in future to paint, not steam.

4:42 am

Aloyisius

yes, Haz.. the carpet should be periwinkle blue too

4:42 am

LoriP

Haz knows. Had you painted, none of that would have happened.

4:42 am

Aloyisius

will write that tip down, too

4:43 am

Haz1558

Absolutely. Lay an underlay of odor- eaters, paint the carpet, bob's your uncle.

4:43 am

Haz1558

Oh, and if you're really fussy, a constant spray of Febreze.

4:43 am

Aloyisius

lol! what does "bob's your uncle mean?"

4:43 am

FMitch

get rid of the carpet and have lovely old floorboards - problem solved.

4:44 am

Haz1558

Bob's your uncle - just another way of saying 'There you are, case closed'. My mother always used to say 'Bob's your uncle and Kitty's your aunt' but where she got that from I have no idea.

4:45 am

Aloyisius

ah so, have never heard that .. now I know!

4:45 am

zoozzoom

we used to say fannies your aunt.

4:45 am

Haz1558

FM, you're not entering into the spirit of this at all. First masking tape and now floorboards. We want carpet! And painted carpet to boot

4:45 am

LoriP

G'd Morning zooz

4:45 am

Aloyisius

hi zooz!

4:45 am

Haz1558

Good morning zooz. Kitty and Fanny were obviously Bob's secret wives.

4:46 am

FMitch

sorry Haz, but B was a stickler for such things, hard to break the mold

4:46 am

Haz1558

Was Uncle Bob a bigamist?

4:46 am

LoriP

FM is not grasping the concept being offered here. We're an alternative deco group. Focus please.

4:46 am

FMitch

Morning zooz

4:46 am

zoozzoom

Hello Lori, Aloyisus & Haz.

4:46 am

zoozzoom

hello FM :-)

4:46 am

Haz1558

Yes, you've got to embrace the new decor, FM. Think of it, no washing paint brushes or anything. We just drain the water cannon and it's done.

4:47 am

Aloyisius

zooz, are you ready to receive an education in home deco, as in instant home deco? Get your cannon ready

4:47 am

FMitch

*hangs head* trying to do too many things at one, am prepping for a meeting, doing soduku and babble chat all at the same time.

4:47 am

FMitch

and still haven't put on makeup or got changed.

4:47 am

Haz1558

Focus, FM! Leave off that sucky-ducky game, numbers never did anybody any good!

4:48 am

Aloyisius

make up? what's make up?

4:48 am

LoriP

Numbers are no fun.

4:48 am

Haz1558

Don't be using the water cannon for the make-up. It would be a shortcut too far.

4:48 am

FMitch

Ah but if I filled it with foundation I'd be done in seconds.

4:49 am

zoozzoom

Could always get the police round to clean your house..they are good with water canons..lol

4:49 am

Haz1558

True, but the application might be a tad on the heavy handed side.

4:49 am

FMitch

LOL

4:49 am

zoozzoom

you could have a blast FM..haha

4:49 am

Haz1558

Some of the teenage girls I see these days seem to use a trowel to apply their foundation.

4:50 am

Aloyisius

.. and you might have to do it only once a week

4:50 am

Haz1558

And the concept of matching the foundation to their skin tone has passed them by. It's orange or nothing.

4:51 am

Aloyisius

what color eye shadow goes well with orange?

4:51 am

Haz1558

Blue.

4:51 am

FMitch

oh it has to be bright sky blue

4:51 am

Haz1558

Or black.

4:51 am

zoozzoom

eeewww.

4:51 am

LoriP

Blue is the only color that's hip.

4:51 am

Haz1558

Yes, the brightest blue you can get, preferably luminous.

4:52 am

FMitch

with a while line on the bottom lid for some reason.

4:53 am

Haz1558

Sister-in-law is a teacher - they had one 16 year old girl refuse to come in and do an exam (GCSE) because she had left her make-up in her sister's car. Only way she budged was for her father to leave work, buy her some more make-up and deliver her to the exam room.

4:53 am

zoozzoom

what are these girls thinking when they mask like that..lol

4:53 am

zoozzoom

ans she still failed...LOL

4:53 am

Aloyisius

well, you can't do your best if you don't look your best, lol

4:54 am

Haz1558

They think they're looking good, zooz. That's the sad thing, they can't see that they're better looking without.

4:54 am

zoozzoom

and*

4:55 am

Haz1558

FM, the white line on the bottom lid. It must be an English thing, haven't noticed it over here.

4:55 am

FMitch

OK I must away I have 15 mins to get my act together and hit the road. Lovely to catch up and hope to see you later!! Hugs all round.

4:55 am

Aloyisius

hugs back to you,
FM... have a super day!

4:55 am

Haz1558

Have a good day, FM.

4:56 am

zoozzoom

Bye FM {{Hugs Back}}

4:56 am

LoriP

Laters FM. Make sure your makeup is as hideous and age inappropriate as possible!

4:56 am

zoozzoom

why not and a {{kiss on the cheeks}}

4:56 am

Haz1558

Get that mascara brush working!

4:57 am

zoozzoom

make sure it runs a bit too..hahaha

4:57 am

Haz1558

Lori, has zooz ever offered you a kiss on the cheek? I'm feeling a tad jealous.

4:58 am

LoriP

Never! That pretty much trashed my self esteem. Now I need to attend multiple workshops.

4:58 am

zoozzoom

{{Kisses }} all round...phew that was close.

4:58 am

Haz1558

I've cheered right up. Therapy may be postponed, I think.

4:59 am

LoriP

For me, therapy is inevitable.

4:59 am

Haz1558

Well, in your case, of course, we all understand why.

4:59 am

zoozzoom

LOL..don`t be so hard on yourself Lori....by the way do you have there number handy..lol

5:00 am

LoriP

Naturally .

5:00 am

LoriP

My Shrink is on speed dial. Only way I can function.

5:01 am

Aloyisius

lol Lori !

5:01 am

Haz1558

That's what I call dedication on the part of your shrink, Lori. I suppose you're seen as the ultimate challenge.

5:01 am

Haz1558

You're probably written up in all sorts of journals.

5:02 am

LoriP

All anonymous to protect my identity of course.

5:02 am

zoozzoom

oh poor Lori...you are soo mean Haz..LOL

5:03 am

Haz1558

Of course. But people tumble to it when Canadian woman keeps being quoted.

5:03 am

Haz1558

Mean? Moi?

5:03 am

zoozzoom

:-)

5:03 am

LoriP

Yes Haz. Stop being mean to me. My suffering and lack of integration in to society is being studied in the hopes of helping others.

5:03 am

Haz1558

Phone.

5:04 am

LoriP

It's my shrink calling you....

5:04 am

Aloyisius

saved by the bell, Lori

5:04 am

5:10 am

LoriP

Well, well, well Aloy. You've disappointed me. Working on the grid when I thought you were chatting.... :p

Aloyisius

5:12 am

zoozzoom

5:12 am

LoriP

Congratulations Aloy! My shrink sends congrats too.

5:12 am

Aloyisius

sigh.. guess I have to wait a day for my next fix.. anyone need a clue before I go off to do what needs to be done?

5:12 am

5:13 am

LoriP

5:20 am

Scrabbler

Hello all. A small, evil grid I suppose?

5:20 am

zoozzoom

Hello Scrabbler...yes i am not doing too well really.

5:20 am

LoriP

G'd morning Scrabbler! Not bad so far, but zooz has been distracting me.

5:21 am

zoozzoom

LOL...well i could not help it...all these lovely ladies to talk to...who could resist :-)

5:22 am

Scrabbler

Haha, I was just humored by recent chat. Maybe we can be in group therapy together, Lori.

5:22 am

LoriP

I'm up for that Scrabbler. :)

5:24 am

Scrabbler

And let's do art therapy together, and share a padded room.

5:25 am

LoriP

Meds aplenty I hope.

5:25 am

Scrabbler

Boy oh boy, that left lower corner is just a useless jam, isn't it?

5:25 am

zoozzoom

i get the straight jacket first
then..so much fun trying to scratch an itch with them on i`m sure.

5:26 am

Scrabbler

If the docs don't order us enough of the right meds I can do it myself, Lori.

5:26 am

zoozzoom

ok i am scaring myself now..lol

5:26 am

LoriP

'Yer a good friend Scrabbler.

5:26 am

Scrabbler

9:35 am

caitlyn

FM I just made Â£65 .....someone came to the door buying old gold, I only had a couple of small broken chains but he bought them!!

9:35 am

FMitch

nbj - much more succinct clue

9:36 am

FMitch

wtg!

9:37 am

crosshair

cait we are getting flooded with "old and broken gold" scam artists, be wary

9:38 am

FMitch

I've also 'recycled a few bits that way recently but not by someone knocking on the door but seeing as the apartments have security dorrs that would be hard to do.
HAving said that I did also check out the market value per gram beforehand.

9:38 am

crosshair

do the market check as fm says

9:38 am

mkg

they buy gold for less than they can sell it for. so on one side, you have money from it but they also make a fortune off it.

9:38 am

caitlyn

Its ok cross my son,(a policeman) was here at the time and he payed me cash

9:39 am

mkg

my time and effort is worth something so i also sell the old gold stuff. better to have the money.

9:39 am

crosshair

ahh nothing like having the boys in blue handy;)

9:39 am

caitlyn

LOL

9:39 am

FMitch

Agree with you there mkg

9:40 am

caitlyn

I wish I had more LOL

9:40 am

crosshair

here,jewlery shops will buy unwanted gold and silver at a reasonable price as they use it for settings and repairs in shop

9:41 am

caitlyn

There is a shortage of gold in the UK at the moment so everyone is trying to buy it from you

9:44 am

crosshair

only gold i have left are a doen or so U.S $1 gold coins from the 1850,s and they are not getting thier paws on those!!

9:44 am

crosshair

dozen

9:44 am

sciencegeek

9:45 am

caitlyn

I agree cross you look after those carefully

9:45 am

FMitch

There is no ut word

9:45 am

crosshair

tad smaller than a dime each..quite interesting really

9:45 am

sciencegeek

ok thks

9:46 am

caitlyn

I bet they are worth a lot of money to a collector

9:46 am

crosshair

looked them up..150-300 depinding on condition

9:47 am

FMitch

I've been active in the auction and dealer market again in the last couple of months and have had much fun selling unwanted things and making some good money on some days and breaking even on others.

9:47 am

caitlyn

Thats a lot of money

9:47 am

crosshair

but interesting history is what gets me going;)..no wonder everyone, carried purses back in the day..too easy to lose theese things

9:48 am

FMitch

Great way to 'declutter' but yo uhave to know the market and prices before you leave home!

9:48 am

caitlyn

FM I would love to do that, I dont think I have anything worth selling though

9:49 am

crosshair

years ago i used to find,buy and sell antique glass,lamps,pots,jars etc..was great fun;))

9:49 am

FMitch

B and I used to do car boots and I did antique fairs too and I have a lot of stuff left over that was too good for the car boot so have been systematically going through it and targeting dealers.

9:50 am

crosshair

sounds like fun indeed fm;))

9:51 am

crosshair

somewhere in this place(i kept a few of the better pieces0 is a antique hot water bottle made of glass:)

9:51 am

caitlyn

Is there more competition now because of cash in the attic, flog it etc?

9:51 am

FMitch

gets the adrenaline going crossy.

9:51 am

ursh

Hello all - please clue the ou7 - my last word

9:52 am

FMitch

probably less now cait due to those progs and the internet where you can research things before letting them go - which is what I do to the 'nth degree.

9:52 am

caitlyn

crossy is the glass thicker now

9:52 am

ursh

nm nm found it tx

9:52 am

caitlyn

Hi ursh

9:52 am

FMitch

Hi ursh - and yo found it before I could clue it.

9:53 am

caitlyn

Congrats ursh!

9:53 am

crosshair

lol why would it be thicker? they are made of rubber theese days;)

9:54 am

caitlyn

LOL crossy I meant the glass itself that was used in those days to make other things!!

9:54 am

caitlyn

Now you have got me confused (and thats easy to do )

9:54 am

crosshair

they made all things much thicker,water bottles,poison bottles,cod stoppers for holding soda etc was all hand blown

9:55 am

FMitch

aaah, he meant the hot water bottles - I was confused there for a mo too!

9:55 am

crosshair

you would thing the bottle itself was worth more that what was packed in it;)

9:56 am

caitlyn

Thank you FM I thought it was me LOL

9:56 am

crosshair

mm...we seem to have our trains of though on different tracks..

9:57 am

crosshair

but no matter;)

9:59 am

FMitch

always so many different tracks running though babble aldn crossy ;)

9:59 am

caitlyn

There is a bright light shining outside my window .I think I should take a photo of it

10:00 am

crosshair

but if you have any antique bottles and jars come to me first(i dont buy anymore) but i can give you a very good estimate as to value before you take it to a shoppe

10:00 am

caitlyn

Thank you crossy I will remember that

10:00 am

crosshair

:)

10:01 am

crosshair

cod stoppers,poison bottle,a fire fighting balls carry the most value as well as a few rarer mason jars

10:01 am

sciencegeek

Crosshair - I have an old Rx bottle - white glass - maybe from the 1930's???? It is worth anything?

10:02 am

FMitch

I dug up a couple of bottle in the garden of my old Victorian hose bak in the day when i was married. Was amazed (am going back 25 years now)

10:02 am

caitlyn

Were they broken FM?

10:02 am

crosshair

no,im afraid not.in the 30,s phamacys used to buy generic corked bottles for thier potions and unless you have them in rarer colours,blue,green,yellw,they are not worth too much

10:03 am

crosshair

the old tonic bottles from the late 1800,s are a different story

10:03 am

sciencegeek

Thanks. It is a simple white bottle with a bakelite top - not even a cork.

10:04 am

sciencegeek

Probably too modern

10:04 am

FMitch

and my typing is going out of the window again I see :(
No cait - intact which was the joyy of the find, no value but a wonderful thing to see.

10:04 am

crosshair

sorry science im afraid not,best for a window accent is all

10:04 am

caitlyn

Did you keep them?

10:04 am

FMitch

yes still have them on a shelf in my office.

10:05 am

crosshair

some of the very old gin bottles are a thing of beauty as they used green glass most of the time or a dark violet

10:05 am

caitlyn

Thats great a bit of history in your office

10:05 am

crosshair

with pntill marks indicating the date on the shoulder

10:07 am

FMitch

I'm an old fashioned girl - I would rather buy furniture at an auction and don't wan;t the latest look - I love the feel for furniture that has a history.

10:08 am

caitlyn

I think I like both

10:10 am

are you getting to grips with babble now sicence?

10:16 am

sciencegeek

FMitch - it is better. I still only managed about 1/2 yesterday. This one is equally frustrating. I have 53 left.....

10:16 am

sciencegeek

I am so compulsive - I like to finish everything 100%!!! LOL

10:17 am

FMitch

LOL I know that feeling - babble is a great word game and has the added bonus of a unique chat log.

10:17 am

sciencegeek

Yes, I like the chattering!

10:18 am

sciencegeek

I suppose I need to fill out my profile and add some sort of graphic and fly my flag!

10:18 am

FMitch

Half the battle is getting the words and the other half is interpeting the clues and lingo.

10:18 am

sciencegeek

Right. I am still trying to figure out the lingo on the clues - the "ai"7 blah blah blah

10:18 am

sciencegeek

I am stuck with the ov issues

10:19 am

FMitch

To do that you will have to go pro - but it is worth it as after 2 weeks you will lose the stats under the grid.

10:20 am

sciencegeek

What? I would see the tile stats??? Bummer. So I have to give "them" US$14.95???

10:20 am

FMitch

Them is a he and it is a one off payment.

10:20 am

sciencegeek

One time payment?

10:21 am

FMitch

I've been babbling for 4 years next month and it was the best $ I spent for an online game.

10:21 am

sciencegeek

That's a "bloody" good deal

10:22 am

FMitch

LOL yup!

10:22 am

EvaNadine

TY for the V-word hint!
*tiptoes back to work*

10:22 am

sciencegeek

We have a Brit at the gym who teaches some of our indoor cycling class. I am in Texas, so we give him a hard time about his accent. Of course, we don't have one....

10:24 am

FMitch

of course you do. I've been over to the State quite a few times but not Texas so couldno't comment on you accent.

10:25 am

sciencegeek

I was joking - the saracasm is lost in the chats sometimes :)

10:25 am

sciencegeek

We have a Southern drawl that we cannot hear.

10:25 am

FMitch

Ack, sorry sp errors all over the place!

10:25 am

sciencegeek

You know our former President is from Texas so you have heard a Texas accent.

ta6,24 and ta5,14

5:25 pm

hurshy

oh, we don't do pre-school in my family. we tend to learn more at home than if we're tossed in with a bunch of other kids getting less attention than we would otherwise.

5:25 pm

o-o

ta 6 -- make an adverb of the preceding ta 4

5:25 pm

JenMO16

ta6,24

5:26 pm

o-o

then the learning journey has already begun

5:26 pm

hurshy

in fact, my sister might home school him beyond that. we went to public school and always thought home school was very insular - but it is what you make it, and just cause the people WE knew made it that way, doesn't mean it has to be!

5:26 pm

JenMO16

ta6,26 please

5:27 pm

Minveryork

5:29 pm

hurshy

since wesley can learn so much faster than average, it would seem a shame to waste so many of his hours in school working at a slow pace, when he could fit academic work into a much shorter amount of time and then have lots left over for other kinds of learning, like volunteering (with my sister) at a deaf school and whatnot, sports, music, but without having to have no free time left to just be a kid.

5:29 pm

Paul McCartney (you may have seen him play at the halftime of the Super Bowl the year after the J Jackson "incident")

5:49 pm

hurshy

Ringo Starr, the drummer (who replaced Pete Best)

5:49 pm

Minveryork

I have a feeling that JenMO16 might be a teenager.

5:50 pm

hurshy

and George Harrison, the one my mother decided to have a crush on, because not as many people did, and she liked to have better odds

5:50 pm

JenMO16

if you are cluing me pe** with the lennon name i have that one and no i am not a teenager, just a baby when beatles were around!

5:50 pm

hurshy

yes, i was assuming that was the purport of the 16

5:51 pm

Dorens

hi min, thanks. and I'd have thought teenagers knew them. my kids all did

5:51 pm

JenMO16

no my birthday is on the 16TH

5:51 pm

Minveryork

Don't take offense! I wish I was a teenager again Jen

5:52 pm

hurshy

would you like to be really horrified, folks? my mom not only has not seen any of the star wars movies...

5:59 pm

Nef

back again. Hello everyone. We had quite a sudden storm blow through here; I had to shut down the computers.

5:59 pm

polly98

ok thanks

6:03 pm

Nef

how is everyone this evening?

6:03 pm

polly98

fine

6:06 pm

Nef

polly, this game is like a cross between Boggle and Scrabble (hence the name). You try to make words out of adjacent blocks, and the number of tiles is the first # we give while the 2nd # is the # of points you get. So when we say pi 5/12, that's 5 (low point) tiles that earn 12 ponts

6:10 pm

Nef

(Dang! I broke the chat again!) :-/

6:12 pm

6:52 pm

jesdraggon

alrighty... work's about done, i'm gonna head out :) have a good night all

6:52 pm

Nef

Have you tried using More Words to find words too? Lickety gives the tile stats; more words helps you find words that start with the first couple of letters

6:52 pm

Dorens

g'night to you jess

6:53 pm

Nef

nite, jes!

6:53 pm

JenMO16

ne6, 24, i have the adjectives of 2 ne words, what is the other?

6:55 pm

JenMO16

well, duh, i figured that

6:55 pm

Nef

Good! :-)

6:55 pm

JenMO16

how does the beginning start, nef?

6:56 pm

Dorens

:) nef, much patinece

6:56 pm

Dorens

(that was supposed to be patience, sorry)

6:56 pm

Nef

A big part of the game here is trying to find the words yourself. We do provide clues for people, but it makes the game more fun if you find the words and can give clues too

6:56 pm

JenMO16

that was patience dorens, not offended

6:57 pm

JenMO16

:0( i only have 5 left

6:57 pm

Nef

go to Lickety, enter your words and see what and where you are missing words, Jen

6:57 pm

Dorens

and I love to give clues Jen, but people usually ask, and say please, instead of demanding and saying I need! sorry if I sound fussy, maybe just tired today. I have 6 left myself

7:01 pm

Nef

Jen, I was here last night and today, and you have asked for clues whenever I've been here. If I work on trying to finish the grid, I can't or won't chat. It's important for you to understand that we are trying to do this ourselves too; not just spoonfeed clues to someone who is continually asking all of the time

7:01 pm

Dorens

fireworks... how many more have you got nef?

7:02 pm

Nef

4 left, Dorens. CONGRATS to you! WTG!!!

7:02 pm

Dorens

7:03 pm

Dorens

go nef, go!

7:03 pm

Nef

nope; doing fine! Thanks for the offer! :-)

7:03 pm

Dorens

ok, then good night all and happy babbling

7:03 pm

Nef

7:17 pm

7:19 pm

JenMO16

7:20 pm

I left and popped back in, are you finding that site helpful?

7:22 pm

7:29 pm

Jacula

10:06 pm

Jacula

Hi Min. Late night for me. Other Half came home at lunchtime with what could be a terrible cold, but there again... I'm going to go to bed when he gets up, or, failing that, sleep on the so4/7.

10:07 pm

Jacula

Sorry about the 3rd letter in clue 3! PB for me.

10:13 pm

jmcnrick

Oh, Hi jmc.

10:13 pm

Jacula

What are you doing in Utah?

10:14 pm

jmcnrick

I'll listen jac

10:15 pm

jmcnrick

10:15 pm

jmcnrick

I have nbt from this a.m.

10:16 pm

Jacula

I thought Utah was Mormon country? Ignorant Brit that I am. LOL

10:16 pm

jmcnrick

it is mormon country -- I actually spent the afternoon with one of the 10 (count them 10) mormons who refuse to fight in WWII

10:17 pm

jmcnrick

but there are people here who are not mormons

10:17 pm

Jacula

'nbt' - I've seen that a few times in the chog - something to to with blocking out tiles?

10:17 pm

balletslippers

hey jac and jmc. while the chat is quiet, might i ask what nbt means? I've been seeing it frequently in the chat lately.

10:17 pm

jmcnrick

no blank tiles -- none of the tiles with a number after / have a 0 before it

10:18 pm

balletslippers

haha oh. :P apparently jac doesn't know either

10:18 pm

Jacula

You and me, both, balletslippers.

10:18 pm

Jacula

Ah! I get it now.

10:18 pm

jmcnrick

or in other words I have gotten at least one word for every active tile

10:18 pm

o-o

the baptists held the fellowship in Utah in an attempt to hold down the baptists' proclivity for rowdiness

10:18 pm

balletslippers

aha! well that is much easier than shooting for the halfway point.

10:18 pm

jmcnrick

it took me a few weeks to discern the meaning

10:19 pm

Jacula

Well, all my words were done in UK morning, so I can clue if needed.

10:19 pm

jmcnrick

rofl br you almost made me spit o** my contraband coke

10:19 pm

jmcnrick

let me get warmed up a bit jac before I ask for clues

10:19 pm

jmcnrick

won't take me long to come begging I am sure

10:19 pm

balletslippers

proclivity is an underused word :P

10:19 pm

Jacula

BR - rowdy Baptists? In church maybe but surely not out? LOL

10:20 pm

jmcnrick

BR is good at using underused words

10:20 pm

Jacula

jmc - sure! I'm the same myself. Prefer to do all I can before asking.

10:21 pm

jmcnrick

jmcnrick

glad to help ;-)

10:25 pm

Jacula

Other Half wa asking me earlier if someone can be a carrier of Swine 'Flu but have no symptoms. I said they can. He then looked worried and told me a lady at work's son has just had it.

10:25 pm

Jacula

Hopefully, all he's got is a cold.:-/

10:26 pm

jmcnrick

can they jac? I didn't know that.

10:26 pm

Jacula

We've had so much rain and cold wind here lately, many people have colds.

10:26 pm

Jacula

Yes, jmc. They can.

10:26 pm

balletslippers

Aww I hope he's alright. Apparently my English friend's friend has swine flu as well.

10:27 pm

jmcnrick

it has become a nonevent around here

10:27 pm

Jacula

Well, according to what I've read and heard, they can. But the information is so confused and conflicting here in UK, who knows?

10:27 pm

balletslippers

wikipedia might know! hehe

10:28 pm

Jacula

Wikipedia is only as good as the information it gets from the people who post on there.

10:28 pm

jmcnrick

well now that I think about it I seem to remember hearing that people can have Swine flu before symptoms

10:28 pm

Jacula

jmc - how so?

10:28 pm

jmcnrick

the press has lost interest -- it is a real back page item

10:28 pm

Jacula

Apparently, there's a 4-day incubation period.

10:29 pm

Jacula

Yes, the press has a lot to answer for. It whips up frenzies in the name of 'informing the people' and can change with the wind if it thinks it won't sell.

10:30 pm

LeslieAnn

... or getting the public aware and officials accountable helped stop a more extensive outbreak. chicken and egg etc. :)

10:30 pm

Jacula

The top tip for dieting, harp, is to anticipate your weaknesses and have tasty low fat alternatives handy. Not so easy if you have family around who are not dieting. But, after two weeks, when your pangs have subsided and you're seeing how much weight you've lost, you won't lapse so often.

11:05 pm

Jacula

ly + 2 British breakfast drinks + definite article (vowel).

11:05 pm

DTTTM

ahhhhhh... still took me a minute, but got it. thx jmc and LeslieAnn.

jmc -According to local folklore, during the Napoleonic wars, a French ship of the type chasse marÃ©e (literally, tide-chaser) was wrecked off the coast of Hartlepool. The only survivor was a monkey, wearing a French uniform (presumably to provide amusement for those onboard the ship). On finding the monkey, some locals decided to hold an impromptu trial on the beach; since the monkey was unable to answer their questions, and many locals were unaware of what a Frenchman may look like, they concluded that the monkey was in fact a French spy. Just to make sure, the animal was thus sentenced to death and hanged from the mast of a fishing boat on the Headland.
