well corruption is a central component of a grandparent's job description, is it not?

2:53 am

westford

absolutely!!

2:54 am

westford

I'd have them up playing babble until the wee hours

2:54 am

gortmold

and they would be all the richer for it

2:54 am

gortmold

are they religious/strict parents?

2:55 am

westford

oh well they'll visit when they can drive

2:55 am

westford

not so religious but very strict

2:55 am

gortmold

were you sweet and lax, and now they're rebelling?

2:56 am

westford

she works with troubled teens and I suppose she doesn't want hers to turn out that way

2:57 am

westford

I really don't know because she is a very sweet person but she has a plan

2:57 am

westford

everything is perfect

2:57 am

gortmold

tell her studies in Australia have shown that extended time interacting with loving senior adults improves the IQ, EQ and resistance to sex, drugs and rock and roll, in children

2:57 am

gortmold

it's sort of true, even

2:58 am

westford

I will tell her that but I will have to word it exactly right if you know what I mean

2:58 am

gortmold

yeah i do know what you mean

2:58 am

westford

I wouldn't want to hurt her feelings

2:58 am

westford

and just between us her mother is a perfectionist

2:59 am

gortmold

yeaah, i understand

2:59 am

westford

and I'm not lol

2:59 am

gortmold

i guess you've gotta tread carefully so you don't alienate her so you can keep contact with the kiddies

3:00 am

westford

oh but my secret weapon is my son

3:00 am

westford

he's the only male and my baby

3:00 am

gortmold

you interest me strangely; how do you deploy him?

3:00 am

westford

something about mothers and sons

3:01 am

westford

I just mean he'll do anything for me he's just really sweet

3:01 am

gortmold

keeping him close so that when the time comes to reproduce, he does it near you?

3:01 am

westford

no no no

3:01 am

gortmold

that sounded crude and revolting didn't it?

3:01 am

westford

I realize his new family comes first and he is a wonderful husband and father

3:02 am

gortmold

forgive me i was raised by wolves

3:02 am

westford

no I knew what you meant

3:02 am

westford

ah I see lol

3:03 am

gortmold

well i hope your children come to appreciate your involvement in their kids lives as much as i appreciate my parents and in-laws

3:03 am

gortmold

I have to go now, but let me say just one more time...

Hi Wolvie

5:44 am

LoriP

G'd morning Wolvie

5:45 am

FMitch

oh my - listening to a free CD that came with a daily paper a while ago - Roxy Musics Greatest Hits.
Blast from the past!

5:46 am

Wolvie

i'm miffed - i don't get stuff like that with my paper.;-)

5:47 am

FMitch

awe sorry bout that :(

5:47 am

LoriP

lol FM. Have an urge to reclaim your misspent youth now?

5:47 am

Wolvie

hey - you guys have better give aways, that's all.

5:48 am

LoriP

Haha! Last a was ar6, which I'm constantly in.....

5:48 am

FMitch

feel an urge for big shoulder pads and big hair all of a sudden!

5:49 am

Wolvie

lol

5:49 am

LoriP

The bigger the shoulders the better! Some of my padding in the past, but a football players safety equipment to shame.....

5:49 am

FMitch

LOL

5:50 am

Wolvie

yeah, I remember that stuff - some things are best not taken out of the dust bin - music okay, shoulder pads not so much!

5:50 am

LoriP

I saved them, and use them for pillows now.

5:50 am

Wolvie

filled them with down did you? lol

5:51 am

LoriP

No. They were big enough, they just needed a nice sham.

5:51 am

Wolvie

heh heh

5:51 am

FMitch

The 80s were my high time, the late 70s and early 80s were the disco days.

Love the memories.

5:51 am

Wolvie

80's for me as well. fun stuff

5:52 am

LoriP

Me too, but sad really. I'd have made a better hippy, and bonus, a lot less hair maintenance.

5:52 am

FMitch

got married in 85 and divorced in 91 but there were some grat tiems inbetween.

5:53 am

Wolvie

oh man - lets not talk about hair. I don't even want to calculate how much $$$ i spent on useless product

5:53 am

LoriP

grat time. Is that Latin?

5:53 am

FMitch

and I need to cut my nails down as they are screwing up my typing.

5:53 am

Wolvie

twitter typing

5:53 am

LoriP

Oh yah, great. I can't even copy a typo properly. ***sigh***

5:54 am

FMitch

I heard that twitter had been hacked into

5:54 am

LoriP

Which is quite ironic when ya' think about it.

5:54 am

Wolvie

everyone abb's differently

5:54 am

LoriP

FB, Twitter, all of 'em

5:54 am

Wolvie

even those of us who stutter lol

5:55 am

FMitch

really? thank goodness I am not a member of any of them!

5:55 am

Wolvie

I can't believe the nut jobs that are out there - have you ever just randomly browsed tweet sites. Whoa - amusement and dismay 24/7

5:56 am

FMitch

No never have Wolvie - and don't want to - to be honest.

5:56 am

Wolvie

I don't go there much, a few updates from Nasa and the like for me

5:57 am

FMitch

Fair enough.

5:58 am

FMitch

Lori did you see BR's quote in his profile yesterday?

5:59 am

LoriP

Lots of useless info and insight to the machinations of the unhinged.....

5:59 am

LoriP

No FM, yesterday was ultra busy for me. I cracked off the grid (pain in the a....) then hit the road

6:00 am

FMitch

6:17 am

carleekat

6:19 am

i'm 1 hour from Detroit MI wolvie

6:20 am

Wolvie

I saw Ontario in the profile, knew you were close ( I grew up in the LP) - just thought Mich was having a bit better weather this year - and Mass is not. :-)

6:21 am

Wolvie

didn't realize it was a whole northern thing this season - way bad for the veggies!

6:21 am

carleekat

detroit is better but I live very close to Lake huron ( 5 min walk...) and with prevailing northerly winds....

6:21 am

Wolvie

6:23 am

carleekat

you can eat your way around the world as you stroll down the road

6:23 am

carleekat

I'm in Sarnia

6:23 am

Wolvie

Wyandotte Mich? Really? New Mall or something?

6:23 am

Wolvie

oh - I know where that is. Cool!

6:23 am

carleekat

in WINDSOR

6:24 am

Wolvie

oh - duh - street. LOL

6:24 am

Wolvie

too funny - been many years since I have been there. Loved it tho

6:24 am

amelu0218

heh, I used to go to summer camp north of Port Huron... I still remember turning blue while swimming in the lake and refusing to get out of the water.

6:24 am

carleekat

I'm completely alone in that tho...everyone I know that lives in or near windsor HATES wyandotte..but I love it..the old architecture....the "mom and pop" shops...everyone prefers the mall

6:25 am

Wolvie

have you ever come across into mich to go to the eastern market? Gratiot ave and I forget the cross

6:25 am

carleekat

yeap..that the lake... its only 72F right now

6:25 am

Wolvie

I broke my tailbone in that area, ame - waterskiing in that same water

6:26 am

amelu0218

ouch!

6:26 am

carleekat

I am USUALLY in Port Huron...I only go through detroit on the way to somewhere else

6:26 am

Wolvie

slid in on one ski, sat down "perfectly" on a submerged sharp rock

6:26 am

carleekat

yeap..there are days the wate is like glass..then..there days I can hear the waves from home

6:27 am

Wolvie

well, there used to be great stuff in Detroit - and that eastern market was so cool

6:27 am

Wolvie

I still think about buying some property in Michigan from time to time

6:27 am

carleekat

detroit is just so scary right now I find...people I know in canada are trying to invest in "property" there with all foreclosures

6:28 am

amelu0218

I remember the rocks! Sometimes I think that's the only thing I miss from up there... Where I live, you either have sand or "red dirt"...

6:28 am

carleekat

and..no mater what "area" you invest it seems....whatever you install on the weekend..by the next weekend it is torn out from a break and enter

6:28 am

Wolvie

really? huh - I hadn't thought about city prop

6:29 am

Wolvie

might not be a bad idea - it will get cleaned up eventually - so sad - it was such a ne** place, even with the rep it had

6:29 am

carleekat

here its sand..everything is sand

6:29 am

Wolvie

well they are down and down right now - this economy has hit the rust belt when it couldn't afford anymore hits

6:30 am

amelu0218

my brother still lives in Flint and they are going through the same... when someone moves out of the neighborhood, if someone doesn't imeediately move in the siding is stripped off the house, all copper and such is ripped out... it's bad.

6:31 am

Wolvie

desperate measures - I am hopeful that Obama can get things going again - of course if congress doesn't get it's sh*t together, it won't matter. Herding cats

6:31 am

carleekat

up hear...people just tightening belts... our banking system has very different rules...high school students didn't get summer jobs..and that is about the worst of it

6:31 am

carleekat

( at least in ontario....not sure about elsewhere in country )

6:32 am

Wolvie

our banking system sucks - no doubt about it. Detroit and places like it are proof of their values

6:32 am

Wolvie

suck it all dry

6:32 am

Wolvie

whew - must get off bad news/rant - sorry

6:33 am

carleekat

mymuseisme

Hey Frat, do you know about Lickety's Babble Clues? It's under Friends of Babble. Provides first 2 letters of words and point values. Comes in handy whenever you're stuck.

9:07 am

EvaNadine

yeah. work has been heinous this week. and a neighbor at home hit my car in the parking lot -- so i still have to take care of that.
but on the plus side, i think i have finally found some tenants for my house!

9:07 am

fratfitz

could anyone clue me the le 6 (second one i think) or the ar 5/10??...thx mymuse, I have used that...it's quite handy!!

9:08 am

mymuseisme

well that's good news (tenants)! Hope the damage to car isn't too bad.

9:09 am

EvaNadine

yes, thankfully it is minor damage. i just need to call his insurance company back to schedule the repairs. i think it will probably just need paint.

9:09 am

mymuseisme

I still have 14 left to find; the ar5/10 I have adds the "not fake" word.

9:09 am

fratfitz

thsx!!! just one more now

i agre;)

11:05 am

crosshair

agree even

11:05 am

EvaNadine

beware that salt, though crossy. i saw on "the doctors" that non-pork bacon tends to be so much higher in sodium that it actually ends up being less healthy than regular bacon.

11:06 am

redshoes

thanks crosshair. I love it when people agre with me.

11:06 am

crosshair

mm i better look into that,im sposed to chop my salt content as well

11:07 am

funny things you would never have thought of before with nasty salt content;(

Crossy - about three or four times a year I find myself home alone for the weekend, and I always get a really nice rye bread and broil about half a pound of thick-cut, maple smoked bacon for bacon-and-tomato sandwiches. Wonderful, and apparently far enough apart that it suits my doctors fussinesses. Of course, the rest of the time, I try not to let myself think about bacon, which hs gotten ever so much harder since I started Babbling!

11:43 am

crosshair

oooohhhhh.....

11:44 am

helensgirlkid

I can just imagine what my doctor would look like (I thik she would be speechless) if I mentioned bacon vodka.

11:44 am

crosshair

ive made it twice now ;))

11:44 am

crosshair

very little fat transfer,just the essance of bacon

11:46 am

crosshair

just the thing to wash down that blt

11:47 am

crosshair

now that i think of it,i wonder if i can use bacon gumballs for the recipie instead of bacon bits...mmmm

11:50 am

helensgirlkid

Where do you find those bacon gumballs and bacom gum?

11:51 am

helensgirlkid

The very thought it making my typing worse!

good thanks mo, all the better for being Friday :-)

3:59 pm

JBV

Here's a line or two: Q belonged to Q&A/ to questions, and to foursomes, and fractions / it belonged to the Queen, to Quakers, to quintets - /within its compound in the dictionary dwelt the quill pig and quince beetle and quetzal......

4:00 pm

mo

well being retired most days seem the same ... but I know what you mean!!!

4:01 pm

dinok

I like that :-)

4:02 pm

KatieMcG

I would love that lol

4:03 pm

mo

I used to love work but I like retirement better!

4:03 pm

KatieMcG

Oh I don't blame you mo, just another 24 years to go!!

4:04 pm

mo

never heard of a quill pig or quetzal, JBV.

4:05 pm

JBV

quill pig is also unknown to me, mo, but a quetzal is a beautiful bird of tropical Mexico/Guatemala etc.

4:05 pm

dinok

Just looked up the rest of the poem JBV. thats cute.

4:05 pm

mo

you poor thing :-) I am not gloating!

4:05 pm

JBV

and it seems a quill pig is a porcupine!

4:06 pm

mo

we live and learn on Babble!!

4:06 pm

JBV

and you are so lucky, mo, I've got two more years to be where you are with days on end to what I want

4:07 pm

4:16 pm

stidgmere

When we lived in Puerto Rico it was really hard to get into theSpirit of the season. Australians do it, I am sure but summer is a really different time to celebrate the feasts of winter.

4:17 pm

KatieMcG

I think it is what you are used to. We were drinking champagne on the beach and snorkling with turtles, both fantastic experiences but not like getting up at 4am on a cold dark winters morning to rip open your presents

4:18 pm

mo

al6 ... al +good *a*n**s.

4:18 pm

KatieMcG

I've also started going to Church regularly since the Christmas before and really wanted to join in on the Church events but couldn't because we were away

4:20 pm

KatieMcG

everything about it was stunning, but it cost a fortune to go at Christmas and if we wanted to go this year it has gone up massively. It would be Â£7000 for the both of us which is just way too much money

5:23 pm

jmcnrick

lol!

5:23 pm

Trifioso

Had a WONDERFUL day at the sea today - warm sun, warm enough water, rocks for the kiddos to play on, and a good friend to sit with. Took some great photos. A lovely, lovely day out.

5:23 pm

jmcnrick

sound lovely trif

5:24 pm

torgone

Sounds lovely ..

5:24 pm

Trifioso

now if I could just find these last 8 words....

5:24 pm

jmcnrick

hey torg

5:24 pm

Trifioso

It really was. I am so grateful.

5:25 pm

jmcnrick

how many letter is the PS?

5:25 pm

Trifioso

secondo was particularly amused when I went ass over teakettle off the rocks, down some seaweed, and kerplunk! into the sea. It was mighty funny....

5:25 pm

kadresa

Hey all...Hi Trif. Nice to hear you had a pleasant day. I worked, but for dinner I'm making llobsta rolls.

5:25 pm

torgone

It's pr4 ..

5:25 pm

Trifioso

I don't have a ps word jmc, so I am thinking none?

5:26 pm

Trifioso

excellent kad!!! I am going to jaines' for pizza.

5:26 pm

jmcnrick

mmmm lobsta rolls

5:26 pm

jmcnrick

ah well that would explain my problems

5:26 pm

kadresa

I am SO GLAD that you are enjoying yourself today !!

5:26 pm

jmcnrick

got it (nothing like looking for the right word to speed things up)

5:27 pm

Trifioso

tertiare was goofy enough to complain about same out loud when Mr. Hate came to pick them up for the ball game. "bring us home early dad, so we can go to jaines party!" Sigh.

5:27 pm

kadresa

Sincerely hope he does not show up unexpectedly.

5:28 pm

Trifioso

he's not invited, so no, I think not. Sometimes I wonder if tertiare does it on purpose, to sort of clue him in on what he is missing. She asked if I could come "too" to the ball game....

5:29 pm

kadresa

She's 10 lovey; perfectly appropriate for her age but irritating nonetheless. How was mamasita today?

5:30 pm

Trifioso

only saw her for a second. She didn't wear her tie shirt, as it was still "damp." when she saw lots of others had them on, she insisted on going home to get hers and wearing it all day. It was indeed, damp, and she wore it - all day. Fun!

5:31 pm

kadresa

OMG LOL! She always wants to be "in." BTW, is this a soiree at Jayne's or simply "come over for pizza?"

5:31 pm

Trifioso

the usual beer bash. Adults will be jumping in the pool fully clothed sometime around midnight. feel free to stop by!!!

5:32 pm

Trifioso

You too tor! hear tell you enjoy a good skinny dip!

5:32 pm

jmcnrick

*looks shocked*

5:32 pm

Trifioso

"looks shocked" -- but in reality, "feels jealous!"

5:33 pm

kadresa

Trif...wear something "smashing!" I would LOVE to come...really I would. K arrived safely in LI, NY; D is at the swim team bbque, S has a friend sleeping over, and G took the day off to golf with D. I would be leaving him or S unattended.

5:33 pm

Trifioso

LEAVE

5:33 pm

jmcnrick

yeah not so much for jumping in pool with clothes on

5:33 pm

torgone

Fully clothed is not skinny dipping but either would be fun ..

5:33 pm

kadresa

You are tempting me......

5:34 pm

kadresa

I am an expert skinny dipper!

5:34 pm

Trifioso

(((whispering in case stacey is on....))) sometimes the clothes dont' make it in the pool!

5:34 pm

Trifioso

consider it an early birthday treat. Only do come, it is gonna be so much fun! Wanna sleep over???

5:34 pm

jmcnrick

they fall off when you jump *looks confused*

5:34 pm

jmcnrick

they fall off when you jump *looks confused*

5:35 pm

kadresa

You know....they baptised people without the clothes on. It is how we came into this world. Speaking of whispering, scoop is on T

5:35 pm

Trifioso

that is usually how we explain it to the kids, yes, jmc

5:35 pm

jmcnrick

not in any church I ever went to

5:35 pm

jmcnrick

lol and the kids fall for that?

5:35 pm

Trifioso

scoop has a friend over and she is babbling?

5:36 pm

kadresa

Remember, they will use that one on us some day...

5:36 pm

kadresa

Yes, she is wondering why I am on the deck laughing

5:36 pm

jmcnrick

looking for the i singleton and the o singleton for nbt

5:36 pm

Trifioso

it worked better when the kids were younger, jmc. Same as how I could eat one piece of pizza on the way home, and rearrange the pieces to make the pie seem "whole" again.

5:36 pm

Trifioso

the i singleton is the one I pretty much miss every time --- teeny eeny weeny piece of fish

5:37 pm

jmcnrick

I have an agreement with my son that he does not tell me everything and I wont tell him everything

5:37 pm

ntent=music

7:58 pm

markbowers7

hope you all enjoy it

7:59 pm

7:59 pm

Nef

Is it your own composition?

8:00 pm

markbowers7

there's a space in the address....so that Babble will allow it to be displayed

8:00 pm

I have a huge section of what I call "world music" on iTunes;

8:03 pm

markbowers7

so far, no luck

8:03 pm

markbowers7

personal compositions or just stuff you enjoy listening to?

8:04 pm

Nef

Dang! I wonder how you would break in to a field like that?

8:04 pm

markbowers7

it's all about who you know...and i'm working to expand my network as much as possible

8:04 pm

Nef

mark, *I* don't compose; but I do listen to lots of music

8:06 pm

markbowers7

well, i do have a CD of original instrumental piano music available on iTunes

8:08 pm

Nef

when my kids were young, I volunteered as a "picture person" at their small parochial grade school. It was a program with the Mpls Art Institute; and at first I had some trouble with some of the kids because they couldn't or wouldn't settle down and listen to the info on the art. I started bringing cassette tapes of music related to the art pieces, and that was the key to getting their attention and helping them undersatnd some of the art pieces better

8:09 pm

Nef

you have something on iTunes?

8:09 pm

markbowers7

my CD tends to be used to quiet young kids...i know at least 2 teachers who use it in the classroom

DR1965

I looked at the trip and it is something I would want to do. I honestly do not think he is mature enough.... he would be 11

11:43 pm

stidmama

11:44 pm

jillibus

what reip, DR? Guess I missed something

11:44 pm

jmcnrick

falling asleep sitting up and its not even a train

11:44 pm

stidmama

they are probably taking a small group of middle schoolers then. I would ask what the adult to child ra5 is likely to be, and how much experience they have with kids with aspergers. One of our leaders teachers special needs kids at a high school, so I was comfortable she would be able to head off potential trouble.

11:45 pm

jmcnrick

night all

11:45 pm

stidmama

Sounds like the whole thing went very well for our son.

I still remember lots of stuff from trips when I was 8 and 12

11:47 pm

depends on the child, jill -- maturity is not always linked to chronology

11:47 pm

jillibus

of course, I went with my mother...

11:48 pm

stidmama

DR -- they might be able to use you as a co-leader? I think you'd have to pay your way, but you'd be there if he needed you.

11:48 pm

DR1965

I am going to check it out and see what I think. I think it was the grades and th " I want to be a humanitarian" but not so much the I make friends easily
