J. C.

Second letter?

12:37 am

J. C.

Oh yes, I see - thank you, dart! :)

12:37 am

MLFAN17

J.C. Is that SO 6 a word we should know?

12:38 am

J. C.

No, MLFAN - it wasn't one familiar to me on a conscious level, if that makes sense? I merely thought it would probably be a word, although I tried various letters to start it with!

12:38 am

J. C.

I have probably heard or seen it before, somewhere along the line . . .

12:39 am

MLFAN17

thanks J.C that does makes sense

12:39 am

dart001

if you change the first letter of the first pair you found jc you'll find 2 more

12:39 am

J. C.

Good, I'm glad I'm actually making some sense, this early in the morning! :P

12:39 am

J. C.

Oh thank you, dart - trying that!

I dont know, West, I think she just needs more help, and I personally think some of those children would be better served with a different family...

7:46 am

westford

didn't she just sign for a reality show?

7:46 am

redturtlehead

She did, but who can give 14 kids the attention they need. the ratio is lower at daycares.

7:47 am

westford

I know it's like having daycare and the kids don't ever go home

7:47 am

redturtlehead

but its just my opinion, not some expert statement.

7:48 am

westford

when they used to have big families the older ones looked after the younger ones

7:48 am

Anniebrook

Trif, you are too much

8:39 am

or "Secret Tales of Crocheing"

8:39 am

Vicuna

Luckily adter Haz cuts movieman in two to see his blue blood, she'll be so good at sewing him back up again.

8:39 am

Trifioso

nope, she is an ace crocheter too! honestly I wish you all could see the amazing things she creates - she is so talented! She makes little craft things out of everything!

8:40 am

Haz1558

Angelsong - Spend spend spend

8:40 am

Trifioso

I remember cracking up laughing when I saw that in French, Captain Hook is named "captain crochet" = not quite so menacing, is it???

8:40 am

Vicuna

"Crocheter" had better be a word - I'm working ona real book that includes one! lol

8:41 am

Angelsong

LOL!!! I love it, Haz!!!!

8:41 am

FMitch

LOL Haz, hope you are scribbling these titles dow.

Trifioso

I still like "great doctors I have worked with" by scrabbler better though....

8:45 am

Haz1558

I'm just scared Scrabbler would turn green if she saw her name linked to cooking rabbits. I'm hoping the George Clooney title will help her through her delusions.

8:46 am

Scrabbler's already green. At least, her rabbit is.

crossy, there used to a be a parent at gymnastics who must have been from that province -- he would go on and on about how they had a "right" to speak french, as they were their "first" and yadda yadda.

9:17 am

Trifioso

mind you, so are americans! how many of us had immigrant forbears, but get completely impatient with new arrivals that can't instantly speak the language? I hate that. I always give people a chance. English is hard to learn, and if they are trying, I try to help them.

rururocks

yes science?

9:36 am

FMitch

science - go to the General option and then you will see lists.
Failing that I will copy and pate it into my babble bio if you give me a mo.

9:36 am

sciencegeek

Just HI

9:37 am

rururocks

oh.. hi too!

9:37 am

sciencegeek

I like the latter Mitch!

9:37 am

OK NP give me a mo

9:38 am

rururocks

I see susan boyle is in the grid today

9:38 am

NonnieLight

breakfast I'll see you all later

9:39 am

Haz1558

I noticed that as well, ruru.

9:39 am

anike

Several weeks ago I forgot to finish the grid and slipped down the rankings drastically - my ranking hasn't changed since, I know its not really the issue but, in October I will be away for two weeks and can only imagine that I will be down in the boondocks again. Can be depressing for someone as pathetic as me.

9:39 am

72 Temple Owl

shhh is vi still here?!

9:39 am

Haz1558

Why, are you going to say something about her singing?

9:39 am

Vicuna

Ha! Looks like I got back in the nick of time, TO!

9:40 am

Haz1558

Good job you asked, TO!

9:40 am

rururocks

I think she has a wonderful singing voice

9:40 am

FMitch

OK stats thanks to BryanC are in my profile.

9:40 am

Haz1558

Yes, Susan Boyle. Not Vicuna.

9:40 am

72 Temple Owl

who? vi or susanboyle?

9:41 am

Vicuna

What you people didn't realize is that Ms Boyle was just lip-syncing to my recording.

9:41 am

Haz1558

(Vi practises the gentle art of self-deception to a remarkable degree)

9:41 am

rururocks

I suspected that Vicuna... I really did

9:41 am

Vicuna

So, what was it you were going to say, TO, dear?

9:41 am

sciencegeek

ty FMitch!

9:42 am

anike

I'm off to bed - see you tomorrow.

9:42 am

72 Temple Owl

um...er...well...how it's a good thing you are not a british subject or suam would have had to sing against you!

9:42 am

yw science and nighty night anike.

9:43 am

rururocks

I guess I can stop typing hiatus..

9:43 am

Vicuna

Goodnight, anike.

9:43 am

FMitch

I've got to make a couple of phone calls so back soon.

9:43 am

Haz1558

Bye FM.

9:43 am

ANd ruru, I do appreciate your flattery! =)

9:43 am

Haz1558

Goodnight anike.

9:43 am

72 Temple Owl

bye fm!

9:43 am

Vicuna

Bye for now, FM.

9:44 am

FMitch

Oh and btw did anyone notice I have changed my icon for Scrabbler? Seeing as I hardly ever change my icon :)

9:44 am

72 Temple Owl

no. i still see a sunflower. is it her birthday?

9:45 am

NonoNanette

no its a count down to her new job TO

9:45 am

Haz1558

It's showing as sunflower until I click on it and then I see the bunny.

9:45 am

Anniebrook

FM, I noticed immediately. I see a rabbit

9:45 am

sciencegeek

I always want to see hiatus in here.

9:45 am

72 Temple Owl

ok i must refresh then

9:46 am

FMitch

yay Annie, and for the rest I guess a refresh is called for. BRB must make these calls.

9:46 am

sciencegeek

On the gird - not the chog@

9:46 am

rururocks

how can I still have 50 left....

9:47 am

Haz1558

Because it's that sort of grid, ruru.

9:47 am

rururocks

It is starting to make me frustrated..

9:48 am

Vicuna

I put on rabbits today, too.

9:48 am

Haz1558

You're not going to start throwing things?

9:48 am

Vicuna

(Uh... belated contribution to already finished conversation, I guess...)

9:48 am

rururocks

thinking about

9:48 am

rururocks

it

9:49 am

Vicuna

If anything he'll throw rocks, I suppose.

9:49 am

rururocks

cream pies probably vicuna

9:50 am

NonoNanette

ey--

9:50 am

rururocks

there is one thing that really bothers me about susan boyle though...

9:50 am

Haz1558

What's that?

9:51 am

rururocks

she got near enough to simon cowell to nail him with a cream pie and failed to do it

9:51 am

sciencegeek

Hi Nono! Love the pic!

9:51 am

sciencegeek

Oh yes, Simon needs more than a cream pie. Some people are just mean and evil!

9:52 am

Vicuna

Strange how few people cream-pie-nail those who are in a position to judge them...

9:53 am

rururocks

yes.. but he would be the exception

9:53 am

Haz1558

I don't think he's mean or evil, I think he's been very shrewd in seeing talent and seeing how he can make money from them. His approval is the one most people seek in those shows.

9:54 am

rbud

hi all, love all the bunnies!

9:54 am

rururocks

I guess he is the definitive judge.. the others are fluff

9:54 am

sciencegeek

I think his approach is hateful.

9:55 am

rururocks

I guess this is a hare-raising day?

9:55 am

Haz1558

The whole thing is manipulation, but his judgement is pretty good on who has talent and who hasn't.

9:55 am

NonoNanette

Simon simply gets to the point, no messing around with him

9:55 am

rururocks

I agree haz..

9:56 am

Vicuna

He wouldn't be hateful if people didn't love seeing him do it.

9:57 am

Read-Knit-Bake

hello everyone...help for the am 7/32 and am 8/45. THX

10:01 am

Vicuna

Take a cast of the footprint and track down that miscreant, Detective TO!

10:01 am

Haz1558

That's a shame, TO, I hate seeing footballs landing in my flowers.

10:03 am

10:23 am

Haz1558

Have you got the instructions/DIY book out?

10:24 am

zoozzoom

yes..and it looks nothing like what they describe..thought i would save money by DIY..but i have not done too well.

10:25 am

Haz1558

I'm rubbish at trying to interpret diagrams, like you say, they never look anything like what's in front of you.

10:25 am

Haz1558

Any handy neighbours available?

10:26 am

Uneaixoise

i'm very lucky to have Kevin, the handy guy, across the street . . .

10:26 am

zoozzoom

oh how right you are...neighbours here for some reason do not seem to talk to each other..i take it they are too busy with their lives.

10:27 am

Haz1558

That's no use, zooz, what are neighbours for? We've had lots of help in the past from neighbourswho know what to do in all sorts of situations.

10:27 am

zoozzoom

it was like that when i lived in oxford Une..neighbours was always helpful.

10:27 am

Uneaixoise

off to run errands -- good luck zoom!!!

10:28 am

10:29 am

Haz1558

Bye zooz. (Hope you're joking about the hammer!)

10:29 am

zoozzoom

i am daft for sure...but not that daft..:-)

10:29 am

o-o

skip the hammer and go to the post maul

10:31 am

crosshair

what are your trying to put together zooz?

10:37 am

Haz1558

I think it's parts of a toilet he's trying to put back together.

10:37 am

crosshair

ahh

10:38 am

crosshair

too bad,ive ran so many rental properties that i swar i can put a toilt together blinfolded;/

10:38 am

Haz1558

That would be some party trick, crossy.

10:39 am

Judi

Back from breakfast. Oooh. Toilet assembly. How educational. NOT!

10:39 am

crosshair

the rule of thumb with older toilets is,that if a internal part is broket,it is best to buy whole new innards.it is cheaper,easier to install and less of a pain that trying to find some 30 year old part

10:40 am

crosshair

broken even

10:40 am

Haz1558

Wise words.

10:41 am

crosshair

and the toilet kits are under 10 dollars;)

10:41 am

Judi

Am I living in an alternate universe? I didn't think toilets had that many parts.

10:41 am

Haz1558

Anyway, time I was away to do other things, thankfully nothing involving non-flushing toilets. (Judi, take the top of the cistern off, you'll be amazed)

10:41 am

crosshair

lift the lid judi;)

10:42 am

Haz1558

Or maybe you have these fancy toilets that are built into the wall?

10:42 am

Haz1558

In anycase, I'd better go - happy babbling!

10:42 am

Judi

Yay, I have lifted the lid and seen the internals. I still fear not. No fancy toilets here = or bidets for that matter.

10:44 am

Judi

Nothing here but a hole in the floor and a moon on the door.

10:44 am

crosshair

lets see,ball-cock,flange,various gaskets,2 adjusting screws,ball arm,watertube,overflow pipe,stop flow valve..but now they make that in a all in one vertical float plastic system;) just swap the old junk out and in it goes:0

10:45 am

redturtlehead

Hello again Babblers, Crossy have you any bacon?

10:45 am

crosshair

as a matter of fact red i just bought 2 pounds last night;)

10:45 am

nice maple cured stuff;)

10:46 am

redturtlehead

could I have a few crumbles for my seafood salad???

10:46 am

crosshair

but of course;)

*droooool*

10:49 am

Judi

I must say, I'm a bit miffed that there is no Lickety's List again today.

10:50 am

redturtlehead

thats why I barely ever use it Judi, it really helps on days when Lickety cant do it. Its a free thing he does in his spare time as it is!

10:51 am

Judi

Oh, I know, red. I'm just whining. I know Lickety has some family issues right now. A silly little list is and should not be a priority right now.

10:51 am

redturtlehead

it does make it easier for the hard ones though.

10:52 am

helensgirlkid

There's a list up on Babblers Anonymous - of course not all the neat features Lickety includes, but helpful for counts.

10:52 am

Judi

I'm weak. I need to be enabled by clues.

10:52 am

JBV

good morning, babblers - I find More Words very helpful - usually wait for some personal target, like the last 50 or so before turning there

10:52 am

redturtlehead

I have 48 left and I was thinking about going to the list today but I guess not! enabled? with enable the dictionary?

10:53 am

Judi

Enabled by the list. I'm down to 78 and rather smacking my head against the wall.

10:53 am

JBV

if anyone would like to serve cheese, I'll bring the "whine" - here's how my day started: as if I didn't need a reminder about getting old, my daily newspaper decided to cut half the comics page and of course, guess which ones they cut - what they call the "Classic" comics - all the ones I love! so now I guess I'm a classic

10:54 am

redturtlehead

oh JBV, better to be a classic than the alternative.

10:54 am

redturtlehead

I ran in 97% humidity.... and that how my day began...

10:54 am

JBV

to add insult to injury, they moved them to another part of the paper, only every day it's in a different section, so it's like a daily scavenger hunt

10:54 am

Judi

An aged fine Whine. An antique!

10:55 am

redturtlehead

people love the comics cant believe they cut that!

10:55 am

JBV

LOL, Judi :) - i'm coming up on a big birthday, but I guess red is right, it's better than the alternative

10:55 am

crosshair

lol jbv..half of my favorite shows now rerun on history tv channel;/

10:55 am

Judi

Really. There's enough bad news. The comics balance that out - or at least should.

10:55 am

JBV

and they left all the weird unfunny ones that I just don't get - Over the Hedge, yuck - Pearl s before Swine, ditto,

10:56 am

JBV

us too, crossy, we've been watching Bonanza reruns and Gene Autry!

10:56 am

Judi

Did they at least save "Peanuts"?

10:56 am

redturtlehead

I am not a fan of Bonanza.

10:56 am

JBV

no, Judi, Peanuts is in the "classics" category. Not only that they reduced the size so you need a microscope to read them

10:57 am

Judi

Obviously, your paper has been taken over by commies!

10:57 am

crosshair

remember when they first started with colout t.v,s jbv? took me five years to realize that lorne greens skin was not really green;))

10:57 am

crosshair

colour even

10:59 am

redturtlehead

Cross, we never had a color tv until I was about 23 yrs old. My Dad said he finally got tired of trying to figure out if the home team was really the home team in shades of gray...

11:01 am

redturtlehead

By that time, I guess they had perfected the coloration!

11:01 am

Judi

I'm tapping out at 77. See you kids tomorroww!

11:13 am

helensgirlkid

Complain about the comics - they often cut them as a test of their popularity, and sometimes they return at least a few of the ones you loved. And - I hate to add this - most of them are available on line, which leads to the death of newspapers, of course.

11:13 am

i'm with you red, something satisfying about feeling the weight of the left hand side increase as you go through (reading War and Peace right now, so the feel is definitely a component of the experience)

11:21 am

redturtlehead

But I can see for someone who travels a lot etc, the appeal of the electronic book reader...

11:21 am

crosshair

i can carry 50 books in one hand now;) but real books still have a place in my heart

11:22 am

JBV

yes and at the beach or on a windy day, the pages will not blow away

11:22 am

redturtlehead

there is something abotu cover art, the type chosen and the actual paper chosen. this is not noted much in paperbacks but in certain books its still a big deal.

11:23 am

crosshair

and for those hard of seeing there are 8 magnifications levels,no more hunting for your favorite titles in large print

Dorens

Two nuns went into the party store and asked the proprietor for a bottle of rum. The store keeper exclaimed "Why sisters I'm shocked!" They said don't worry, Mother Superior needs a laxative." So he sold them the rum and the nuns left the store. A while later the store keeper went out in the parking lot and found the two nuns sitting in their car, rum bottle empty and them drunk as hell. The proprietor said, "Why sisters I'm shocked, I thought you said the Mother Superior needed a laxative!" They replied, "We did, she's just going to shit when she sees us!"

Two nuns were driving down the road in Transylvania when a vampire jumps on the hood of the car and snarls at them thru the windshield. The nuns are terrified. Sister Catherine says to Sister Mary, "What should I do!!??. Sister Mary says, "I know, I filled the windshield washers with holy water before we left the convent, try squirting him with that". Well Sister Catherine tries that to no avail. The vampire keeps snarling at them and they don't know what to do. Sister Mary says, "Show him your cross, Sister Catherine. " Sister Catherine says, "Good Idea!" She rolls down the window and yells "Get the F**k off the car!"

The other day my neighbor, who is blonde, came running up to me in the driveway jumping for joy! I didn't know why she was jumping so excitedly but I thought, 'what the heck', and I started jumping up and down along with her. She said, 'I have some really great news!' I said, 'Great. Tell me why you're so happy.' She stopped jumping and breathing heavily from all the jumping up and down, told me that she was pregnant. I knew she'd been trying for a while so I told her, 'That's great I couldn't
be happier for you!' Then she said, 'There's more' I asked, What do you mean there's more. She said, 'Well, we are not having just one baby.. We are going to have TWINS! ' Amazed at how she could know so soon after getting pregnant, I asked her how she knew. She said.... ;

There was a rumour going around town that the nuns were fooling around with some of the men.
Mother Superior calls all the nuns into the courtyard and points to a bathtub full of holy water. She says 'each one of you must clean yourself with the holy water wherever you have been touched by a man.
One nun goes up to the bath, dips her finger in and rubs the holy water on her lips.
The next nun goes up to the bath, dips her hand in the holy water and rubs it around her face.
The next nun opens her habit, and washes her breast in the water.
The next nun gets completely naked, and slips her whole body into the bath....

My fault, car. On 7/17 we went kayaking, made a camp fire, got naked for skinny dipping (note exposure of entire body surface in this chronology) and then collected more fire wood. 3 days later--bad outcome began

9:22 pm

stidmama

spent ALL day driving it seems -- the penpal wanted to see what sort of cameras are available in the States, but didn't like the prices he found, so we came home almost empty-handed!

9:22 pm

stidmama

that's better. thanks all!

9:22 pm

Funny, true story: ultra-Christian mother has her 2 girls in the office for check-ups and are on the way out. The girls set down there portable video game systems while they pick stickers and toys. They say, "Don't forget your Playboys" <---what my brain created when thinking of Play Station and Game Boy. Mother was shocked.

9:37 pm

Scrabbler

Congrats Car!!

10:48 pm

Pinikula

yikes...power nap time?

10:48 pm

Trifioso

I need to ask better questions next time. When he said "it's all arranged" what he meant was "I bought a ticket"

10:49 pm

Pinikula

oops

10:49 pm

Pinikula

did he go with friends?

10:49 pm

Pinikula

do they have rides?

10:49 pm

can't they drive him home?

10:49 pm

Pinikula

<-- will be quiet now

10:49 pm

Nef

how far do you have to go to pick him up?

10:50 pm

Trifioso

he is supposed to be on Nantucket, camping with the Scouts for a week. He and another scout bought tix to the concert anyway, and then talked the scoutmaster into letting them off island for one night. the other scouts dad got them off the ferry today, and drove them to my sister's house (they are at the concert with my niece and nephew)

10:51 pm

Trifioso

then I am supposed to meet them at my sister's tonight, and bring them back here to sleep. Then Primo, in his infinite genius, bought a return ticket for the 9:15 ferry tomorrow morning. I have to drive them back to the ferry, which is about 45 minutes from here. Problem is, I am doing the children's sermon at church tomorrow at 9:30. Sigh

I can think about how to advise you on this; but truth be told; I've done similar when my kids were young too.

10:56 pm

Trifioso

I am NEVER doing this again, nef. it's just ridiculous. but seriously, this isn't gonna come up again. The idea is that next time I have to learn to ask ALL the necessary questions

10:56 pm
