1:03 am

DR1965

1:05 am

J. C.

My cat got hit with flying spaghetti once - a strand landed on her back and side, and she was very disturbed by it, wondering what it could be 'attacking' her, HAHAHA! She ran off sideways, with her head turned to look at it - then finally, she grabbed it and pulled it off, dropped it, then raced away as if afraid of it!!! :P

1:05 am

rbud

Chocolate? I'm in!

1:06 am

J. C.

Awww, thank you sooo much, Jilli - you're too sweet! ;)

1:14 am

sammysmom

meliae

1:16 am

jillibus

I'm getting absolutely nowhere with this grid

1:16 am

meliae

my best friend in the whole world is a gay man, I love him so much!

1:16 am

sammysmom

1:17 am

jillibus

1:17 am

Just1Mar

Sigh....this empty nester and her hubby will be letting our son and his wife come back to live here with us for about 10 months, give or take ....

1:17 am

jillibus

I have 43 words too, mel, but have been too busy chatting and such

1:18 am

Just1Mar

I have 6 weeks to get ready, mentally and, sigh, physically

1:18 am

jillibus

Oh, mar! Howcum?

1:18 am

sammysmom

1:19 am

meliae

1:19 am

J. C.

Oh good - see you've accepted the invite, Jilli. :)

1:19 am

jillibus

sad, ruru -- when our son left we changd nothing -- it was all ready for his return at any time

1:19 am

cjmomma

every time one moves out we redo the room and one comes back...have to redo again...

1:19 am

Just1Mar

well jilli, they really want to move to Van...their lease is up...and they figure that if they can save all the rent and laundry (hahah) money..they'll be able to move there by next summer with quite the cash stash

1:19 am

jillibus

of course, JC!

1:20 am

cjmomma

we keep one for that reason jili

1:20 am

J. C.

Jilli - if you move your cursor over the top part of your 'Updates' module, you can then press and hold down your left mouse button, and drag it over into the right side of your page, below your 'Connections'. Then it will be more out of the way - and your profile and comments will be higher, so your friends won't have to scroll down so far to reach them . . . ;)

1:20 am

Just1Mar

absolutely 1000% Meliae!!!

1:20 am

jillibus

mar, I hope they'll kick in someting for expenxes

1:21 am

J. C.

Any others of you here have Yahoo! accounts?

1:21 am

jillibus

JC, I'll have to copy and paste those instructions!

1:21 am

J. C.

If so, you can connect with Jili and I, and some other Babblers on the profiles network.

1:21 am

Just1Mar

for sure jilli,,, food, toiletries, and physically eg cleaning and shovelling snow, etc etc

1:21 am

cjmomma

ok pillow calling me...have a good day/night everyone

1:22 am

jillibus

JC, I think all who have flickr photos in their profiles have Yahoo accounts

1:22 am

Just1Mar

night cj

1:22 am

meliae

nini Cj sweet dreams

1:22 am

flosey

JC, is that Yahoo Messenger?

1:22 am

J. C.

Yes, Jilli - that would be correct.

1:22 am

J. C.

No, flosey - it's the profiles network.

1:22 am

J. C.

Anyone with a Yahoo! account automatically has a profiel page they can fill in, and post their photo on. You can connect yours with those of your friends, then you can leave comments on one another's pages!

1:23 am

J. C.

How would I invite you?

1:23 am

Just1Mar

I'm not "thrilled" about it but hey, what is family for if not for helping out (temporarily!!!)

1:23 am

flosey

ok, tks, JC

1:23 am

J. C.

Erm - a 'profile' page. My typing's flying over to France by now, I think . . .

1:23 am

J. C.

Do you have a Yahoo! account, flosey?

1:23 am

flosey

I tried to post pictures in my profile but had to give up, wasn't working

1:23 am

flosey

thought I did

1:24 am

J. C.

Which profile?

1:24 am

J. C.

It works well on Yahoo! Profiles . . .

1:24 am

flosey

referring to pictures in Babble profile

1:24 am

jillibus

flosey means the profile here in Babble

1:24 am

J. C.

Flosey - send an e-mail to me at the address in my bio.

1:24 am

J. C.

1:30 am

rururocks

1:30 am

J. C.

As Jilli for my real e-mail address - she has it. ;)

1:30 am

J. C.

1:30 am

J. C.

Yes, ruru - been quite a situation going on. :/

1:30 am

rururocks

1:30 am

J. C.

It happens from time to time, sadly . . .

1:30 am

rururocks

Yes, I'll say it is! :/

1:31 am

J. C.

meliae

midnight but it has been so hot I cannot do my baking during the day

1:44 am

Just1Mar

I finally can commiserate...it is stifling here too

1:44 am

meliae

I refuse to eat that stuff they call bread you get from the grocer

1:44 am

jillibus

well, mel, I would just skip the baking altogether!

1:44 am

Just1Mar

yeah ...you must have decent bakeries? wherever you are?

1:44 am

jillibus

we get good bread of many varieties here

1:45 am

meliae

I bake 8-10 loaves at a time lasts me about a month since I freeze it all up

1:45 am

flosey

JC, still here?

1:45 am

Just1Mar

it's so hot have no appetite, but did munch on a wonderful pumpernickel from a local bakery here

1:45 am

meliae

my grandparents owned a bakery as I was growing up, and I am spoiled lol

1:46 am

meliae

I wish I could find an old fahioned bakery, the grocery stores bakeries are just the same as the stuff on the shelves

1:46 am

Just1Mar

We have such wonderful bread here in Montreal...all kinds from all nationalities

1:47 am

anike

fireworks

1:47 am

Just1Mar

I hear ya meliae...it's like eating hamburger buns..

1:47 am

jillibus

same here -- where are you, mel?

1:47 am

jillibus

YAY anike!!!

1:47 am

meliae

I foundone place that had good bread but it was around 4$ a loaf I cannot afford that when I can make my own for not much more

1:47 am

Just1Mar

congrats anike

1:47 am

rbud

woohoo, anike!!!

1:47 am

meliae

Eugene Oregon

1:48 am

Just1Mar

wow that's a lot mel...where are you exactly?

1:48 am

meliae

yay Anike grats

1:48 am

Just1Mar

ohhh ok

1:48 am

Just1Mar

well when it's way too hot to bake...treat yourself....I'm sure that heat doesn't last too long in Oregan?

1:49 am

anike

TY. Have to go and ice a birthday cake for my husband so will return tomorrow. Bye for now.

1:49 am

meliae

when the ingrediants of the bread take half the wrapper to list them all, well that is not bread, it is a scientific experiment, LOL

1:49 am

jillibus

Oh, same time zone as here -- and hot today, yes

1:49 am

meliae

bye Anike and tell your hubby we all said happy birthday =)

1:50 am

Just1Mar

lol yeah, but that's grocery store bread....multi national food companies with all their preservatives and whatnot

1:50 am

jillibus

we have local bakers here using all natural ingredients

1:50 am

rbud

ahh, I miss living like that, was a vegetarian and president of the natural food-buying club for over 6 years...

1:50 am

meliae

yes, the place down town does that but like I said the prices are outrageous

1:51 am

Just1Mar

If it's any indication of the markets my kids went to in Van, jilli, than yeah I'm sure you have great products there!

1:51 am

meliae

I do not buy nor do I cook anything but natural when ever I can, I just cannot stand all those chemicals

1:52 am

Just1Mar

It's a healthy way to eat, esp if you live where there is an abundance of natural products

1:52 am

meliae

I am lucky here in oregon we have a great variety of fresh produce meat herbs etc

1:53 am

Just1Mar

I often wonder, tho, people who lived in the early to mid part of the 20th century, ate mostly natural foods...but they did not live nearly as long as we are now

1:53 am

rbud

had an old BF from back then come by and visit after I'd married and had kids, he looked in my fridge and said, "you know, I'd have given anything for some KoolAid sometimes back then, but ohhh, noo!" We both laughed.

1:54 am

meliae

they also did not have the knowledge we have now, about staying healthy, some of them lived on potatoes only for winter, not much meat or fresh vergetables fruits

1:55 am

meliae

hahahaha Rbud

1:55 am

Just1Mar

well when they did that, it was only because that's all they had...

1:55 am

meliae

yes and no way to really keep foods fresh

1:56 am

Just1Mar

and of course medical technology was nowhere near what it is now, but still, with all the sh*t that's out there, people are still living longer

1:57 am

Just1Mar

I have also, as recommended, but not because of, have reduced my food intake by at least 30 or so per cent

1:57 am

meliae

not to mention just the physical trials they went through, just washing the clothes was an all day event, making soap from lye, all that hard work, they just plumb worked themselves to death

1:57 am

rbud

I still have my old healthy cookbooks, but just TRY to get Hubby to go without his meat and potatoes...sigh.

1:57 am

flosey

still here Jilli?

1:57 am

Just1Mar

well rbud...as long as the portions are small and the veggies are abundant...

1:58 am

meliae

slowly reduce the portions of meat and add more veggies rbud

1:58 am

jillibus

yes -- back now

1:58 am

flosey

just send you email jilli

1:59 am

Just1Mar

I still love a wonderful grilled steak ala hubby on the bbq, but I now make 2 or 3 meals out of it, as opposed to one!

1:59 am

meliae

ok off to beat the heck out of the bread and get it
in the loaf pans

1:59 am

rbud

yes, but I used to know all there was to know about proper combining of meatless proteins...how far I've fallen. :(

1:59 am

Just1Mar

gl meliae...stay cool..

2:01 am

rbud

nite, mel, nice to meet you.

2:03 am

jillibus

flosey -- I just replied

2:03 am

Just1Mar

rbud...your "reknowledge" is just a couple of clicks away!

2:05 am

rbud

I still eat lots of things my family doesn't understand, haven't lost the taste for the veggie lifestyle. But could never get them to eat it, too.

2:06 am

Just1Mar

that

2:06 am

rbud

I adore avocado and tomato sandwiches, for example. They all just say "yuck!"

2:07 am

Just1Mar

that's too bad...do you make stir fry's? great way to enjoy and eat veggies...tender crisp

2:07 am

Just1Mar

do they like garlic?

2:07 am

jillibus

I'm a carnivore but enjoy lots of veggie things too and avocado and tomato sandwiches sound great

2:07 am

J. C.

There isn't that much to know about it at all, rbud - we're simply not meant to have anything from animals, and our herbivorous physiology means our protein requirements are met quite adequately from plant proteins. :)

2:07 am

Just1Mar

avocado is such a delicious and healthy veg

2:08 am

rbud

yes and no - kids won't eat onions, either, sigh.

2:08 am

jillibus

our teeth tell us we are omnivores

2:08 am

J. C.

Humans aren't carnivores, Jilli - that's why the saturated fats in all animal 'products' contribute to the plaque that forms in the arteries, clogging them. That never happens, to true carnivores or omnivores - they could eat a pound of butter a day, and not have that happen.

2:08 am

flosey

thanks jilli

2:08 am

Just1Mar

sigh my son who considers himself somewhat of a gourmet...hates onions too! that is like an oxymoron

No, Jilli - chimpanzees are omnivores, and they have the same teeth as a carnivore, and the same short, smooth intestines - not long and pocketed, like those of any herbivore, and like ours.

2:09 am

rbud

our digestive tract is too long for meat, made a speech on that once in class - carnivores have short digestive tracts. meat stays in too long, causes colon problems.

2:09 am

J. C.

Our teeth are like those of herbivores - look at a horse's teeth sometime - like ours, only larger.

2:09 am

J. C.

Yes, rbud - and pocketed.

2:09 am

Just1Mar

I'm a definate carnivore, but I do practice moderation

2:10 am

J. C.

Meat leaves reside behind that collects in those pockets, and causes a lot of problems.

2:10 am

jillibus

not going to argue

2:10 am

Just1Mar

lol ...spackle??

2:11 am

J. C.

MEAT is bad for you!

The Scientific Anatomy of Eating

Scientific evidence and common sense reasons for what is obviously
the only truly biologically appropriate diet for human consumption,

my son, who had to finally have surgery because of Crohn's disease, is now eating mostly vegetarian and his digestive problems have abated quite a bit

2:12 am

Kazzer99

Not if you cant get protein any other way it isnt

2:12 am

J. C.

Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine website - that talks about why only a 100% vegetarian (vegan) diet is appropriate for our species . . . http://www.pcrm.org/

2:12 am

J. C.

I'm not surprised, Just1Mar - going from my own experiences.

2:14 am

rbud

Well, I believe we're meant to eat fruits, nuts, seeds, veggies, etc. - but meat would be a hard habit for society to break.

2:14 am

Just1Mar

Crohn's is almost like ilitis but can occur anywhere in the digesttive system from stem (mouth) to stern (a**s) and in several places at the same time

2:14 am

flosey

When I had to lose weight we cut out meat - lost 50 lbs ina year

2:15 am

Just1Mar

in these grids...I always get the word ceca or caeca because my son had to have most of his removed :(

2:15 am

J. C.

Of course it is for a lot of people, rbud - they're addicted to the taste, and I think some of it's psychological, after being conditioned all one's life to believe it's necessary and good to consume. :/

2:15 am

rbud

also I have a fondness for dairy products, so find it hard to manage total vegetarianism.

2:15 am

Kazzer99

i have ibs which is mainly caused by 1 granary type breads and 2 vegetable protein

2:16 am

J. C.

I know it was causing me some health problems, though - which started clearing up rapidly, after eliminating it.

2:16 am

Just1Mar

wow flosie...

2:16 am

rbud

my mom has that, too, Kazz - no corn, seeds, nuts - she eats tomatoes but scrapes the seeds out carefully...

2:17 am

J. C.

It's also the ethical/moral issue now, for me. I have pet chickens and realise how intelligent they are - and all animals are feeling, sentient beings, with a right to exist also. If we needed to eat them, that would be one thing - but we clearly don't, so why do it? :/

2:17 am

J. C.

Especially when it's only harmful to our health . . .

2:17 am

Just1Mar

the other day tho, we made tilapia fillets marinated in a simple olive oil, garlic parsley, lemon...it was so incredible ...had never made it before

2:17 am

o-o

I have a pet corn stalk ... a very smart plant

2:18 am

flosey

ahhhhhhh, BR, but they have a very short life span

2:18 am

o-o

I need lots of them

2:18 am

Just1Mar

but the seeds and surroundings of tomatoes is the healthiest part...

2:18 am

J. C.

Does it do tricks, BR?

2:19 am

TraderKate

Babble's back! missed you...

2:19 am

Kazzer99

other side of the ethical issue is that if we didnt eat them, most of them wouldnt exist. And we are lucky here that i only buy stuff that is free range and organic

2:19 am

TraderKate

just how much arable land is there in antarctia?

2:20 am

Just1Mar

BabRab get's his pot boiling before he removes that corn from the stalk...as most corn afficienados do!

2:20 am

o-o

hello, Kate

2:20 am

flosey

ok, I'm off to bed, goodnight all, be back in the morning

2:20 am

Kazzer99

nite flosey

2:20 am

o-o

be well, flosey

2:20 am

TraderKate

2:20 am

jillibus

2:20 am

rbud

2:20 am

Just1Mar

well...it seems that one of the most harmful aspects of raising cattle for beef consumption, is the methane the produce...

2:21 am

Just1Mar

they*

2:21 am

flosey

JC, will resend tomorrow - didn't see your next note until after I came back

2:21 am

Just1Mar

2:21 am

o-o

next thing ya know, someone will want to outlaw my pet rock

2:22 am

flosey

now there you have a good long life span BR

2:22 am

mrpresident

evening all :)

2:22 am

Just1Mar

well just tell them it's an heritage issue...they're almost considered antiques!

2:22 am

jillibus

hi mrp!

2:23 am

Just1Mar

flosey

hi mrp and goodnight poof

2:23 am

TraderKate

it'll never happen... no greenhouse gasses from rocks...besides they have a right to exist as much as anyone

2:24 am

o-o

my rock has weathered during many a storm

2:24 am

Just1Mar

all the more reason then

2:24 am

TraderKate

2:24 am

rbud

2:25 am

Just1Mar

2:25 am

TraderKate

2:26 am

Just1Mar

sigh ..persona non grata will now desist from asking or talking

2:26 am

jillibus

AS a Brit child I played Stone Paper Scissors. Now the US kids say Rock Paper Scissors. To me, a stone is something small enough to hold in your hand, and a rock is big enough to sit on.

2:27 am

TraderKate

2:28 am

J. C.

Yes, Jilli - that's what I've always thought!

2:28 am

jillibus

Cardiologist's Funeral:

A rich, well-loved cardiologist lived a long and prosperous life, but, finally passed away as we all tend to do. Being the all-around nice guy that he was, his many friends and co-workers gave him a spectacular funeral.

As they all stood and watched, his mahogany coffin slid along tracks into the crematory doors. Encircling the crematory doors was a massive ornate heart, made of roses and carnations, to signify all the hearts he had touched, literally and figuratively.

Suddenly, one of the doctor's best friends began to laugh hysterically. Quite angry at the outburst, everyone turned to glare at him.

"I'm sorry," he said. "I was just thinking: I'm a gynecologist, so what's my funeral gonna be like?"

The proctologist gasped and fainted.

3:04 am

Back in the day when Brian Malroony was Prime Minister of Canada....Pakistan and India went to war.....The Indians crushed the Pakistanis....Great Britain pledged manpower to help sort out the carnage....The USofA pledged all the money needed to rebuild and repair....and Brian Muldoon of Canada.....pledged 500,000 pakis to be repatriated to build up the population

3:15 am

J. C.

A married Irishman went into the confessional and said to his priest, "I almost had an affair with another woman."

The priest said, "What do you mean, almost?"

The Irishman said, "Well, we got undressed and rubbed together, but then I stopped."

The priest said, "Rubbing together is the same as putting it in. You're not to see that woman again. For your penance, say five Hail Marys and put Â£50 in the poor box.

The Irishman left the confessional, said his prayers, and then walked over to the poor box. He paused for a moment and then started to leave.

The priest, who was watching, quickly ran over to him saying, "I saw that. You didn't put any money in the poor box!"

The Irishman replied, "Yeah, but I rubbed a Â£50 note on the box, and according to you, that's the same as putting it in!"

3:15 am

A Pakistani man walks to the bustop on a Toronto street to wait for the bus. As he's waiting, a Great Dane comes along and leaves a steaming pile of shit on the right side of the Paki....a few minutes later another Great Dane comes along and leaves a steaming pile of shit of the left side of the paki....soon the bus comes along and stops....the Paki asks the busdriver how much the fare is... The bus driver looks at the Paki, then looks at the 2 steaming piles of shit and says....2 dollars for you and 50 cents for each of your kids

3:24 am

J. C.

3:24 am

Just1Mar

yes and the smaller head can only accomodate

3:24 am

Just1Mar

a smaller brain

3:25 am

J. C.

Oh yes, my brain is tiny . . .

3:25 am

Just1Mar

I love men...I'm just kidding you guys...and also..I'm NOT a predjudicail person....if you live and let live..then I love you

3:25 am

mrpresident

3:26 am

Just1Mar

J. C.

See you later, mrp . . . or on Yahoo, perhaps?

3:27 am

J. C.

Found you there - in your pink pyjamas.

3:27 am

Just1Mar

3:42 am

mama2maddie

can anyone clue the 2nd ca7/32 and the ca9/60?

4:00 am

sparklygem

wow racism in the chat today.... interesting

4:00 am

TraderKate

wish I could mama2...don't have them. gone fixing victuals

4:01 am

mama2maddie

no problem Trader...gave up on them for a bit...working on finishing the "S's"

4:03 am

sparklygem

Is there a function to complain or what? Cos I found that really offensive...

4:04 am

Haz1558

sparklygem, I haven't read back in chat so don't know what the problem is. However, e-mail Dr-God with your complaint and if he feels it's justified, he can e-mail whoever has caused offence.

4:06 am

sparklygem

thanks Haz! Just shocked me a little that's all I guess.

4:07 am

Haz1558

Well, if you feel strongly, then do what you feel you want to. No guarantees that Dr-God will agree with you, but sometimes you just need to let your voice be heard.

4:18 am

TraderKate

do you really feel getting a moderator involved is the answer? it may have been a little off colour, but surely the reasonable response is to speak out here first. if you feel you must take it further then do so. it seems a little extreme...surely this can be dealt with in house? dr god is probably busy with the universe and everything...

4:19 am

FMitch

Morning all
Been out and done all my errands before the day gets too hot.

4:19 am

Haz1558

Good morning FM. No chance of it getting too hot here.

4:20 am

Haz1558

We're having what we call a 'soft' day.

4:20 am

FMitch

oh is it going to be grotty there Haz, we are due about 30 today by all accounts and I have to say it is warm already.

4:20 am

Haz1558

Our sunshine is of the liquid variety today.

4:21 am

FMitch

Ak back in a mo just spotted a misse call on the phone (client calling).

4:21 am

Haz1558

See you shortly.

4:25 am

sparklygem

TraderKate: I did speak out here first. I haven't yet sent an email to dr god and I'm not 100% sure I will because it will probably be a waste of time. My sister is maried to a pakistani man, they have children - the "joke" was completely offensive and unnecessary. It would not be tolerated at all on many websites and I guess I was a little shocked to read something like that on here.

4:26 am

FMitch

Back
Did a load of work last might and she just wanted to run tough a couple of changes.

4:26 am

sparklygem

Anyway, let's just move on from it. Lots of people found it amusing, I guess that sort of thing is acceptable in some countries. End of.

4:26 am

Haz1558

The client is always right - just ask Liz sa4/8.

4:27 am

FMitch

sparkly, have to agree with you, I saw the post and was somewhat surprised as it is the first time I have seen something like that here.

4:27 am

Jacula

HI all. I was surprised to read that here, too.

4:27 am

FMitch

Hey Jacs!!! How are you?

4:28 am

Haz1558

I haven't seen it, don't think I'm going to, but if you want to suggest that a line be drawn, then do it.

4:28 am

Haz1558

Hello Jacula!

4:28 am

Jacula

Hi FM - planning to get lots of gardening done while I still can.

4:28 am

Dianne

Hi all saw something cute Know how to keep your husband from reading your email? Rename the email folder "Instruction Manuals".

4:28 am

lynxxx

I also found it offensive. Hello all

4:28 am

Jacula

Hello Haz.

4:28 am

Jacula

Hi lynxxx.

4:28 am

FMitch

lol I tough of Liz too when entering the sa4/8 (and pl)

4:28 am

sparklygem

I think that's the best bet. I hate confrontation anyway, especially on the internet where everything seems to be magnified anyway. Thanks for the words of support though, I thought I was going mad.

4:29 am

Jacula

Dianne - LOL! How true.

4:29 am

Haz1558

Good evening lynxxx, Dianne.

4:29 am

sparklygem

Back to the grid!

4:29 am

FMitch

ha ha Dianne, funny!

4:29 am

FMitch

Hello lynxxx

4:30 am

Haz1558

I bought a card yesterday - A man on the phone gazing at a computer screen saying 'Press any key' - he's asking 'Where's the any key?' My husband to a T.

4:30 am

Jacula

I'm enjoying this grid so far; got 124 words in about 20 mins.

4:30 am

Jacula

Haz - LOL.

4:31 am

FMitch

It's not too bad today
LOL Haz! Remind me of many help desk jokes.

4:31 am

Haz1558

Problem is that I'm the help desk!

4:31 am

FMitch

*grin*

4:32 am

Jacula

:-D

4:32 am

Haz1558

But he wants to know WHY I've done something - I don't know why myself, I just know that it works.

4:33 am

Haz1558

So, is the sun shining with you, Jacula?

4:34 am

Jacula

Yes, Haz.

4:34 am

Haz1558

I'm pleased for you. (detect any bitterness?)

4:35 am

Jacula

Not at all, Haz. *winces*

4:35 am

FMitch

Come and visit Haz it is going to be lovely this week.

4:35 am

Haz1558

It's just drippy here.

4:36 am

Jacula

Don't come on Sunday - thunderstorms predicted for then.

4:37 am

Haz1558

Jacula, did you hear about the world record set on the log yesterday?

4:38 am

FMitch

Oh yes! that was so funny ... sat and watched the log with baited breath.

4:38 am

herinfernallady

Hello. I so miss you people

4:38 am

Jacula

No, Haz. What was that?

4:38 am

Haz1558

A team effort - they said it couldn't be done, but the men achieved a full page of blue heads talking, the women kept quiet for 12 minutes plus.

4:39 am

Jacula

Hi Herin.

4:39 am

FMitch

Hi herin

4:39 am

Jacula

LOL! Very good.

4:39 am

Haz1558

Hello herin.

4:39 am

herinfernallady

HIIIIIIIIIII. I so miss you lot. Silly schoool work

4:39 am

mama2maddie

any clues for the second ca7/32 and the ca9/60?

4:39 am

herinfernallady

Hugs.

4:39 am

Haz1558

It was great. They weren't sure what to talk about but achieved a stunning result.

4:39 am

FMitch

Considering how few guys babble and chat it really was an achievement.

4:40 am

Jacula

I bet you were all on the Babble expert chat instead. Does that still exist?

4:40 am

FMitch

But you are doing so well herin, all that hard work is going to pay off in the end.

4:40 am

Jacula

FM - It was indeed.

4:40 am

Haz1558

It was the rare appearance of the lesser spotted Dachef that set the wheels in motion. And once EvaNadine put up some racy pictures they got talking!

4:41 am

herinfernallady

I am watching worlds strictchest parents> some of the parents should have done one of 2 thinks: Boot the kids out of home and get counsellor.

4:41 am

Haz1558

No, Jacula, it was on the proper log. Someone was going to take a screenshot to verify.

4:41 am

FMitch

LOL oh yes the 'chicks on Harleys' sure got the guys thinking

4:41 am

herinfernallady

and I missed it Haz? What time was this amazement

4:42 am

Jacula

Haz - No, I meant the women were chatting on the Expert chat while the men were on here.

4:42 am

Haz1558

Let me check.

4:42 am

mama2maddie

got the 9

4:43 am

Jacula

mama2maddie - can't help. Haven't got those yet.

4:43 am

Haz1558

10.25 babble time (British afternoon)

4:43 am

mama2maddie

fireworks!

4:43 am

FMitch

Congrats mama2

4:43 am

Haz1558

I sat on my hands, Jac, I don't know what the rest of them were doing. I don't know whether the chat function still exists on expert.

4:43 am

herinfernallady

YAH Mama. I saw that Can I say well done. I thought we scared off the boys

4:43 am

mama2maddie

ty

4:44 am

Haz1558

Congratulations mama!

4:44 am

Jacula

Well done mama2.

4:44 am

mama2maddie

thanks everyone

4:45 am

Jacula

BRB - need more tea.

4:46 am

herinfernallady

I need to do my homework

4:47 am

FMitch

Whats the topic herin?

4:47 am

herinfernallady

Commercial Law

4:48 am

herinfernallady

First eat and babble chat then homework

4:48 am

FMitch

Good luck!!

4:48 am

Haz1558

Rules for making adverts?

4:49 am

FMitch

Where's LoriP? I have a new watergun loaded and ready to test out :)

4:49 am

herinfernallady

Haz rules to run a business. It did make more sense drinking vodka. Thanks FM

4:49 am

FMitch

lol Haz

4:50 am

herinfernallady

And good call Haz

4:50 am

LoriP

***You rang?*** G'd morning Babblers!

4:51 am

Jacula

Hello Lori.

4:51 am

FMitch

***sploooooosh**

4:51 am

Haz1558

I'm just thinking of the rules advertisers seem to follow nowadays. 1. Don't give any clue what the advert is about. 2. Make men look as foolish as possible. 3. Make it appear that life will be enhanced beyond your wildest dreams if you buy their product.

4:51 am

FMitch

((Lori))

4:51 am

Haz1558

Can we interest anyone in a set of waterproofs and an umbrella?

4:52 am

Haz1558

Good morning Lori.

4:52 am

Jacula

Yes please, Haz. LOl re the ad rules, too.

4:52 am

LoriP

Too late for that no Haz. :/ ***grabs a towel and hugs FM anyway!***

4:52 am

herinfernallady

And if you reverse the make women foolish then its sexist.

4:52 am

LoriP

If it's in an advertisement, it must be true.

4:53 am

Haz1558

Exactly.

4:53 am

FMitch

Hi hun good to see you (even when wet) *grin*

4:53 am

Haz1558

And the anti-ageing creams with funny names. If it's chemical it must be amazing.

4:53 am

LoriP

***Revenge is like water cannons, best served cold.***

4:54 am

FMitch

oh and what about the DIY botox kits - would you inject yourself in the name of beauty?

4:54 am

LoriP

Oooh, I love the wrinkle cream ads. They're my fave. Fountain of Youth , surgery fre....blah blah blah

4:55 am

LoriP

*free even

4:55 am

Haz1558

And the 'keep your innards clean' - Bifidis Regularis. They make it up as they go along.

4:55 am

FMitch

Glad to see your typing skills are still on the same par as mine Lori

4:55 am

herinfernallady

and dont forget those fantastic loose (lose) weight now pills

4:56 am

Jacula

On the one hand we're advised to stay away from procesed foods and anything with chemicals in it, and on the other to rub chemicals into our skin and hair. (Have you ever read the ingredients list on a shampoo bottle?)

4:56 am

Jacula

*processed

4:56 am

Haz1558

It's the fact that they advertise wrinkle cream on 16 year olds that gets me.

4:56 am

LoriP

FM, I may get more winkles, and become irregular, but my typing will never change....

4:57 am

Haz1558

I'm pretty sure enable wouldn't accept the half of them, Jac.

4:57 am

FMitch

irregular Lori? - try prunes :)

4:57 am

LoriP

: P

4:58 am

Haz1558

I always remember the look of disappointment on my girls' faces when I binned those Reader's Digest offers of untold riches if I only sent back the envelope.

4:58 am

herinfernallady

I love how they advertise Olay in a certain light so the model looks really old

4:58 am

FMitch

oh and winkles? am presuming you meant wrinkles but then again .....

4:58 am

LoriP

Always women seem to be the target of wrinkle ads. Praying on fears is a great way to sell stuff. I've earned my wrinkles, and I'm keeping them!

4:59 am

FMitch

now staedy on herin, some of us are getting old!

4:59 am

herinfernallady

NO i mean in the fact these woman are in their 40's and they shine the light in a certain way so their skin looks so badly sun damaged

4:59 am

LoriP

***haps FM upside her head with a water balloon***

4:59 am

Haz1558

Yes, some of us have passed the half-century mark.

4:59 am

FMitch

and there goes my typing skills - I just get so over excited and type too fast for the keyboard to cope with

4:59 am

LoriP

***The woman who typed "staedy" mocks me???????? ***

5:00 am

Haz1558

Poor Kate Moss was caught in unflattering light the other day - she looked older than her years, shall we say.

5:00 am

herinfernallady

Don't forget in Aus sun damage is a big thing.

5:00 am

Haz1558

Questionable use of question marks there, but we may let it pass.

5:01 am

FMitch

I do indeed mock you as I have to get my laughs somewhere, although I am aware that I am usually the butt for much hilarity.

5:01 am

Wolvie

good morning all

5:01 am

Haz1558

We're less aware of sun damage here and consequently have bad rates for skin cancer.

5:01 am

LoriP

I felt it necessary Haz. She's just askin' for it. Poking and needling me!

5:01 am

Haz1558

Good morning Wolvie.

5:01 am

LoriP

Mornin' Wolvie.

5:01 am

FMitch

Hi Wolvie

5:01 am

Haz1558

People laugh at you, FM? Surely not, I'd have noticed.

5:01 am

herinfernallady

Hi Wolvie.

5:01 am

Jacula

Morning Wolvie.

5:02 am

FMitch

yeah right Haz!

5:02 am

Haz1558

Oh I do like a smile in the morning. It gets the wrinkles stretched ready for the day ahead.

5:02 am

Wolvie

jeez louise, waking up to a conversation on age - le sigh, and lol

5:03 am

FMitch

nothing like a winkle in the morning to get you smiling.

5:03 am

Haz1558

Phone.

5:03 am

Wolvie

don't stop chatting just because I showed up! ;-)

5:03 am

LoriP

: )

5:04 am

Wolvie

not like I need any help in the age dept - i went past the 50 year mark this year. BIG le sigh

5:04 am

Haz1558

Husband's new glasses are ready. I'd better slather on more wrinkle cream.

5:04 am

Jacula

LOL Haz.

5:04 am

Wolvie

:-)

5:05 am

LoriP

Think he'll notice now? He is a man after all.

5:05 am

Jacula

I'm sure the rose ti4 you insisted he have put in them will keep him sweet on you, Haz. *ducks*

5:05 am

FMitch

No way Wolvie - Im going to achieve that age next month and cant wait - don't see it as a prob at all.

5:05 am

herinfernallady

hehehe Haz. I am sure you look fine as you are. I think we need to celebrate real people for who they are not for the airbrushed variety we see

5:06 am

Haz1558

He assures me that in proper light (extremely dim), I look quite good for my age.

5:06 am

Wolvie

FM - it's cool - my wrinkles don't show except on really bad mornings -say when I have over indulged the nite before. lol

5:06 am

Haz1558

Joking, honestly!

5:06 am

Jacula

I'm 52 and my Other Half only wears his specs for driving.

5:07 am

Dianne

One day a housework challenged husband decided to wash his sweat-shirt. He shouts to his wife, "What setting do I use on the washing machine?"

5:07 am

Haz1558

Give me a wrinkled Judi Dench over some of the plastic Hollywood horrors any day of the week.

5:07 am

Jacula

Hear, hear Haz!

5:07 am

FMitch

HAve been blessed with good genes so not to many wrinkles here but one day I am sure they will catch up with me, although looking at my Mum at 80 she still looks good.

5:08 am

Haz1558

I think she's beautiful - there's character in her face, not silicone.

5:08 am

Haz1558

Affirmative on the non-wrinkled FM front.

5:08 am

Wolvie

I don't have many wrinkles either, just a few laugh lines - odd really, but there it is. On over indulgence days, I have bags for about an hour, then they go away. :-0

5:08 am

Jacula

Same here, M, except that my Mum's 75.

5:09 am

Jacula

Meant FM.

5:10 am

FMitch

However it has to be said that in some ares I am turning into my Mum, hand jestures and phrases. Guess we can't escape some things.

5:10 am

Jacula

Ditto again, FM.

5:11 am

Haz1558

It's true. Sometimes I look at my hands and I'm holding them the way she did.

5:11 am

Eva

Good morning all. Just looked at the grid. AAAAACK!

5:11 am

FMitch

lol Jacs

5:11 am

Wolvie

hi Eva

5:11 am

Haz1558

Good morning Eva.

5:11 am

Jacula

Hi Eva.

5:12 am

Wolvie

huh - I haven't picked up any of my Mom's habits. Odd

5:12 am

FMitch

Hello Eva, it's not so bad.

5:12 am

LoriP

G'd morning Ehva

5:12 am

Haz1558

Wolvie, you may be more like your father. I'm like my father in looks but have my mother's characteristics in many ways.

5:13 am

Haz1558

She was the one who started writing 'Advanced embroidery'. I've been carrying on the good work ever since.

5:14 am

Wolvie

that works Haz, I am a lot like him. My looks are an honest TG 50/50 - worked out well, if I do say so myself. :-)

5:14 am

Haz1558

Good for you!

5:14 am

Wolvie

embroidery? My Mom used to do that, but quit years ago - I really love the look

5:15 am

herinfernallady

Ok this is weird I have a role reversal going on here

5:15 am

Wolvie

I don't think I would have wanted to look a lot like my Dad, lol. He had lots of wrinkles!!

5:15 am

lynxxx

What a fibber! Hi Lori, Wolvie, Eva

5:15 am

lynxxx

hello Infernal

5:15 am

Wolvie

hi lynxx :-)

5:15 am

Haz1558

It's a bit of a joke, Wolvie. I loathe sewing with a passion, and 'Advanced Embroidery', written by me, would be a very short book indeed.

5:16 am

herinfernallady

HI Lynxx

5:16 am

Wolvie

oh - LOL - I don't know you all very well yet - no history. :-)

5:16 am

LoriP

Lynx! G'd mornin'.

Stick around, Wolvie, you'll learn our little ways.

Wolvie

5:17 am

herinfernallady

Ok I have madam snob kitty on my shoulder and mr sociable non existant

5:17 am

Wolvie

why oh why do people inflict a words on me?

5:18 am

FMitch

I think Wolvie is addicted so she will learn our ways and idiosyncrasies.

5:18 am

Wolvie

grid really, not people

5:18 am

Wolvie

hi fern

7:40 am

Trifioso

I can't for the life of me figure out how she made that character right before the B. It's not an I, and nothing on my keyboard looks like that....

7:40 am

Wolvie

sorry for the typos

7:40 am

Judi

Good morning, Babbleonians!

7:40 am

Trifioso

POUNCE BACK, you goddess!

Beach day for me!

herinfernallady

SOmeone want to do my COmmercial law assignment

7:41 am

Trifioso

bethany?

7:42 am

Judi

We're going to Lewes and then taking the ferry to Cape May, Trif. Hubby's belated birthday outing.

7:42 am

Trifioso

hmmmm. definitely not me, herin, unless you are looking to be expelled

7:43 am

Trifioso

excellent. have a blast! I think I am going to chuck the kiddos in the sea myself. We just discovered a new beach a couple of towns away, and it was GAWGEOUS. Other than the parking ticket I received, of course....

7:43 am

herinfernallady

ok can someone replace my brain then ta

7:43 am

Judi

Sounds great, Trif. Mmm. We got a parking ticket in Rehoboth once. Then again, who hasn't. It's like a right of passage.

7:44 am

Wolvie

couple of towns from Norwell, Mass? do tell. :-)

7:44 am

herinfernallady

Judi i will settle for a holiday to

7:44 am

Trifioso

i love august....when the sea around here finally gets palatable. mind you, I am from here, and to us an "acceptable" swimming day is anything where the water is over 50 degrees.

7:45 am

Wolvie

clue for tr 5/12 please?

7:45 am

Trifioso

wolvie, it's so great! It's in Marshfield, and it's called Burke's Beach, in Green Harbor. You would NEVER know it's there, unless you know it's there....it's at the end of Ocean street, across from the Green Harbor Lobster Pound.

7:45 am

Wolvie

not the tie up one

7:46 am

Trifioso

There is a little teeny path that leads to it, and then it's HEAVEN

7:46 am

EspritdJean

and now EVERYONE knows about it :-)

7:46 am

Wolvie

hah! I will look for next time I am up in that area

7:46 am

Trifioso

I don't mind if everyone does! I am happy to share.

7:46 am

Wolvie

just us babblers, jean. and hello. :-0

7:46 am

Trifioso

The ocean is for all

7:47 am

EspritdJean

hya and just teasing

7:47 am

Judi

Ah yes, New England has much cooler water temps than us. I predict the mid-atlantic will be about 72-74 degrees today. The air temp will be about 90, though. Uhg.

7:47 am

Trifioso

I think if you park behind the Lobster Pound you will be okay, but I am not sure. And I know you were just teasing, esprit!

7:47 am

Trifioso

Indeed, Judi. Do they call them "heart attack tides" near you?

7:47 am

Wolvie

clue for the non tie up tr 5/12anyone?

7:48 am

Anniebrook

hello everyone! I love New England beaches. They have a wild quality about them.

7:48 am

herinfernallady

bay i just got booted. And I must finish this assignment the teacher has faith in me and allowed a weeks extension

7:48 am

Trifioso

not me, wolvie, sorry dear one!

7:48 am

Judi

lol, Trif. No. Never heard that expression. We do have rip tides, horseshoe crabs and jellyfish, though.

7:48 am

Wolvie

hi annie

7:49 am

Anniebrook

hi wolvie

7:49 am

Trifioso

herin - please go do your work. We all love you, and want you to do well. (and I used my "mother of three voice" to type that)

hi eva

7:50 am

Looks like hubby is almost ready. Off I go! XXOO!

byyyyye

7:50 am

Anniebrook

Happy Birthday toMr. Judi!!!!!

7:50 am

Trifioso

Judi, it is used on days when the air is REALLY hot, but the water is still cold. Old fat guys get overheated, and then run into the water, dive in and always manage to shock their system into arrest. It's such a bummer. it's a COMMON expression around here, and yet in they go. They just never learn.

7:53 am

Trifioso

huzzah for wolvie! well done!!!

7:53 am

Anniebrook

YAY for wolvie!!!!

7:53 am

Wolvie

trif - I remember the term from when I lived there - use to wish it upon some beach goers at old orchard beach in maine, if you get my drift. lol

7:54 am

Trifioso

OOB!!!! oh, thank you for reminding me, wolvie...such a lovely place!

7:54 am

Wolvie

some of those men wore thongs that were.., well lets just say TMI, and not in a good way.

7:55 am

Trifioso

we used to say "grape smugglers" though I think the Ozzie call them "budgie smugglers", which is inherently way funnier

7:55 am

Wolvie

I mean, it made plumber butt crack appealing!!

7:55 am

EvaNadine

really, is any man wearin a thongs *not* TMI?

7:55 am

Trifioso

ugh. add in a hairy back and you have a real visual treat

7:55 am

Wolvie

oh, I've seen some that just look yummy. ;-)

7:55 am

LynnNate08

ar 8?

7:56 am

Anniebrook

TMI?

7:56 am

EspritdJean

too much information

7:56 am

Wolvie

butt and not day lynn

7:56 am

Wolvie

too much info annie

7:56 am

Trifioso

wow, serious chat log there.....

7:56 am

Anniebrook

thanks for the TMI

7:57 am

EspritdJean

good clue wolvie

7:57 am

Trifioso

though really, in the end, men who are beautifully fit and toned and spend their days preening and posing around the beach are just as annoying, to me.

7:57 am

Wolvie

wolvie bows head and says to herself in a small voice - finally! I am learning to clue. :-0

7:57 am

EspritdJean

Lol wolvie

7:58 am

Wolvie

oh I agree if they are doing that, trif - but I have seen a few that aren't, and those I enjoy

7:58 am

EspritdJean

banana hammocks

7:58 am

Trifioso

whooo - can you feel the excitement mounting? today is the day to register online for Norwell recreation programs. Two minutes to go - all over Norwell, right now, moms are poised over their keyboards, ready to duke it out.

7:58 am

Wolvie

LOL jean

7:58 am

Wolvie

go trif go!

7:59 am

JBV

hi, Trif and hi babblers

7:59 am

Wolvie

hi jbv

7:59 am

Anniebrook

hi jbv

7:59 am

EvaNadine

hah, every time i hear that term, i think of the episode of Friends where Phoebe decided to change her name to "Princess Consuela Banana-Hammock"

7:59 am

JBV

trif, you brought back memories - I moved to a new community when my son was 3 and went to sign him up for Pre-K - ...

7:59 am

Trifioso

agreed, wolvie. sometimes the beach scenery is a lovely, lovely thing. I often admire women who are rocking a two piece, even if all is not exactly perfect. the confidence!!! wish I had it.

7:59 am

JBV

i had no idea there were people there sitting in lawn chairs since 5 a.m. !! I had no clue! needless to say, he had to go on a waiting list

8:00 am

Wolvie

I hear you trif - used to be, but no more. ;-)

8:00 am

Trifioso

whoops - 9 am !!! brb

8:01 am

Wolvie

phoebe was priceless. :-)

8:03 am

EvaNadine

hints for the right-side U?

8:03 am

JBV

latin bear, Eva

8:04 am

JBV

still need one more from that u

8:04 am

Wolvie

sounds like a t word for end product so to speak, jbv, plural - ur 4/6

8:04 am

Trifioso

....and I am done! field hockey, yoga x 2, and an art class. sing it with me...."I am mommy, hear me roar...."

8:04 am

JBV

got it, thanks, wolvie

8:05 am

Wolvie

wtg trif!!

8:05 am

JBV

yay, Trif!

8:06 am

Trifioso

wish primo could take the art class too, but Tuesday night is his night with the father, so no go. bummer.

8:06 am

EvaNadine

TY JBV -- i miss that every time

8:06 am

Wolvie

I'm sure you will find him something else trif

8:07 am

Wolvie

any clues before I head out?

8:07 am

Trifioso

well, he has two art classes at school this year, so that ought to do most of it.

8:07 am

Wolvie

cool. :-)

8:08 am

Trifioso

good lawd, I just got the u clue wolvie. ewww, but excellent!

8:08 am

Wolvie

lol

8:08 am

Wolvie

i do like to joke around, lol

8:09 am

Trifioso

evanadine, it's funny how there are some words we always forget, isn't it? Myself, I somehow always miss the se4 that means more than one big blue body of water, which is just pathetic, given where I live. but I miss it, every time....

8:09 am

Anniebrook

just got the ur clue too, thanks wolvie, funny

8:09 am

EvaNadine

opening line to the book i just began this morning:

"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains."

8:09 am

Uniquity

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies!!!

8:09 am

Trifioso

what book is that???? Primo would be ALL OVER IT

8:10 am

Wolvie

okay - what book is that? I am going to the library this morning - not kidding

8:10 am

EvaNadine

thats the one, Uni!

8:10 am

Anniebrook

Uni!!!

8:10 am

Wolvie

hi uni

8:10 am

EvaNadine

trif, though it is a quite strange word and a babblet, i always miss "unai" -- and i shouldnt, since it is my nephews middle name!

8:10 am

Uniquity

My bookstore service has taught me something ;) - How are you liking it? The bits I have read were fantastic. Now they are doing Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters. There are ads on YouTube.

8:10 am

Uniquity

Hello Annie, et al!

8:11 am

Trifioso

how unusual, eva!

8:11 am

EvaNadine

ive only read a few chapters, but im tickled with it.
i saw the youtube ad! looks funny!

8:11 am

Anniebrook

The book is going on my reading list

8:12 am

EvaNadine

trif -- "unai" is a basque name. my sister-in-laws parents are from the basque region of spain.
so the nephew has an english first name (our parents are from london), a basque middle name, and a french last name!

8:12 am

Trifioso

ick, I am going to need to run soon. the Norwell Public Library is having a pet show today, whereby children can bring in their pets. Secondo and Tertiare are bringing Primo's two kittens -- and one of our chickens! The best part was, you had to write on the entry form what was "unusual" about your pet. Tertiare said "it's a chicken!" LOL

8:12 am

Trifioso

Excellent Eva! Way to work the EU!!!!

8:13 am

Uniquity

Seth Graham Smith or something like that is the author. I finally bought World War Z last evening and am looking forward to reading that sometime..right now I am reading Bonk (Mary Roach) which is about the science behind sex. She is hilarious...

8:13 am

Trifioso

Have to find the chicken diaper....it's around here someplace

8:13 am

EvaNadine

Uni -- if i still like this book when im done, i may have to look into his non-Austen works

8:13 am

Boobear

hi all

8:13 am

Boobear

hi all

8:14 am

Trifioso

morning boo!

8:14 am

Anniebrook

hello boo

8:14 am

EvaNadine

also, there is a similarly styled book called "Mr. Darcy, Vampyre" by Amanda Grange

8:14 am

Wolvie

It does resemble p&P, but I don't recognize the opening

8:15 am

Trifioso

oooh, just checked - "bonk" is at the library! must check that out!

8:15 am

Uniquity

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a man in possession of a fortune must be in want of a wife - is close the original.

8:15 am

Wolvie

did everyone disappear?

8:15 am

Trifioso

that is the LEAST true thing I think I have ever read, uni!

8:16 am

Uniquity

Bonk is fantastic. I have been laughing out loud repeatedly as she tells about her research. I have Stiff on order (her other book about cadavers).

8:16 am

Trifioso

well, maybe if you slide in "trophy" before wife....

8:17 am

EvaNadine

ahh, Uni i finally figured out why that name seems familiar -- i read her book Stiff

8:17 am

Wolvie

oh duh - ty uni that's the title. My bad

8:17 am

Uniquity

What did you think of Stiff? (awkward question)

8:18 am

Wolvie

well, as it would appear i am chatting to myself, I am off = see everyone tomorrow

8:18 am

Trifioso

wolvie - just moved the towels from the washer to the dryer, and was reminded of the one tricky thing about burke's beach

8:18 am

Trifioso

the sand is powdery fine, and got on everything. A bit on the troublesome side, that

8:18 am

Uniquity

I don't think you are, Wolvie...either you aren't getting our chat or we are not chatty enough?

8:18 am

EvaNadine

wait, no, i read Spook. i read it a while ago, so i dont remember it too clearly, but i think i liked it. i kept picking up Stiff to see if it was something i wanted to read...

8:19 am

Wolvie

i just saw a bunch of chat posts load at once - must have been some snag

8:19 am

Wolvie

that was weird

8:19 am

Wolvie

any clues before I go?

8:19 am

Trifioso

that happened to me about 20 minutes ago, wolvie

8:19 am

Trifioso

I still only have the one U word wolvie - any help there, please?

8:20 am

Uniquity

None for me, thanks. My chat is loading a little slow as well, but each post is coming in (I think). Annie disappeared though!

8:20 am

Wolvie

bears, trif - ur 4, ur 5

8:20 am

Trifioso

whoops = never mind. found the bears. EXCELLENT psychic cluing, wolvie!

8:20 am

Anniebrook

*coming up from the bottom of the grid* Uni, I love, love Babble Expert.

8:21 am

Wolvie

and the singleton is us 4 - what you do with something

8:21 am

Wolvie

:-) okay all - see everyone tomorrow - ttfn!

8:21 am

Trifioso

thank you!

8:21 am

Uniquity

I'm so pleased, Annie!!! It can make babbling a lot faster, although it might not keep your mind quite as sharp :)

8:21 am

Anniebrook

bye till tomorrow, wolvie

8:21 am

Uniquity

take care, Wolvie

8:22 am

Anniebrook

Uni, It is so easier to get to Morewords..I have to keep myself in check not to depend on it. So far I am disciplined enough..

8:23 am

Anniebrook

*scratch so

8:23 am

jmcnrick

hi all

8:23 am

Anniebrook

hi jmc

8:23 am

Uniquity

I loooove morewords. I try not to use it until I feel as thoguh I can not possibly get any more words on my own (preferably less than thirty on the big ones). I find seeing the list next to the grid sparks some recognition for me occasionally

8:25 am

Anniebrook

That is what I wanted all along..the list next to the grid and NOW I HAVE IT. Sorry for shouting but the excitement was too much.

8:25 am

Trifioso

uni, I agree about more words, but somehow it still always makes me feel like I am cheating...

8:25 am

Trifioso

but I am so glad it is there....

8:25 am

jmcnrick

but you can have the list next to the grid by using two windows

8:26 am

Anniebrook

Trif, I used Morewords as a last resort.

8:26 am

Uniquity

I felt like that for the first year or two...then I relized that as long as I am still enjoying myself, it is fine. I haven't finished a grid in a month or two, because it was starting to feel like work again.

8:26 am

Trifioso

morning jmc!

8:26 am

jmcnrick

hi trif

8:26 am

Uniquity

JMC - they are next to each other with two windows, but they then lack the handy bar which enters words in both at once ;)

8:26 am

jmcnrick

congrates on your supreme mothering

8:26 am

Anniebrook

jm c, you are making me laugh. Dont you know that I am a computer genius? Big Joke.

8:27 am

jmcnrick

?????????

8:27 am

Trifioso

uni, I am so glad that I gave up babble for Lent, as it broke me from the "i have to finiiiiiiish" addiction. Now I babble for the joy of it. Mind you, the other night I fell asleep with 3 to go, and that was a bummer....

8:28 am

Uniquity

I gave up babble last summer and I did it again this summer - the one time of the year when I have the most free time, ironically.

8:28 am

jmcnrick

I was pretty compulsive for a while but I broke the habit when a babbler who will remain nameless said she was upset by the scores. . .

8:28 am

Trifioso

it's the reverse for me - summer is my busy, busy time

8:28 am

Trifioso

it's the reverse for me - summer is my busy, busy time

8:28 am

Anniebrook

I dont feel compelled to finish each grid..then it is not fun. But I do look forward to Babbling and having my breakfast coffee together.

8:28 am

jmcnrick

I said I wasn't and she asked how not to be disturbed by them

8:29 am

Trifioso

because you were doing well, jmc, or not well enough, by her standards?

8:29 am

jmcnrick

I said don't look at them and she was shocked at the idea

8:29 am

Trifioso

oh, I see.

8:29 am

jmcnrick

well we will see what happens on this silly sabbatical

8:29 am

Uniquity

My internet also has a fit once every few months and won't load babble because it is too much for it. Then I give it up by necessity and move on until I can play again.

8:30 am

jmcnrick

I have no idea how I am doing -- the only score that bothered me was when sprite went down three points since that meant something was not going well for her

8:30 am

Trifioso

I do remember some fluff about a week or so ago, when Sprite was surpassed on some standing list somewhere....

8:30 am

Trifioso

I missed chatting, that is for sure.

8:30 am

jmcnrick

the chatting is the best part for me

8:31 am

Anniebrook

I rarely check the scores.

8:31 am

Trifioso

but it does drive some babblers mad, doesn't it? :)

8:31 am

Uniquity

Loading the chat is a lot harder than the grid when your net is iffy. Until recently I had almost given up on chat. Most of the older members I met years ago don't chat anymore :(

8:31 am

jmcnrick

I was thrilled when I was at the Meeting House on inaugural day and and watching the ceremonies with all the babblers who changed their icon flags to U.S. for the day

8:31 am

jmcnrick

too bad uni

8:31 am

Trifioso

I do wish we had some "secret window" capacity though, so we could just say "oh, what the hell is the nine already?" and someone could just send it without everyone seeing

8:32 am

jmcnrick

the people do seem to run in and out some

8:32 am

Uniquity

Whoa, sprite isn't on top of the first column anymore. Obviously I check the stats a lot

8:32 am

DR1965

I am working at home later to keep an eye on him

10:50 am

stidmama

sorry to hear that DR. I slept "okay" but the excedrin for the migraine kept me awake WAY too long and the restless. So today will avoid all caffeine unless it gets really really bad

10:51 am

stidmama

I can nap today as needed, I think.

10:51 am

DR1965

I have done that with the excedrin before Stid.. I am hopeful you will be better today

I have the ear drops handy.. : )

our kids in the local area go back Sept 9. Seems really late to me.

10:57 am

we did, DR. He was a good guest, and the adolescent obstinance didn't really show up until the last few days. But I can handle that...

10:57 am

DR1965

yes, last year started before Labor day... probably budget cuts

DR1965

RENNIE !!

10:59 am

Boobear

clue for ca 9 pls

10:59 am

stidmama

They seem to start late on the assumption that it means more parents will have their kids to school on time. BUT -- I think if they start earlier then there are some built-in snow days and we don't go until nearly JULY before we get out of school. School days "count" even when the students aren't ALL at their desks. And eventually parents will know that school starts earlier.

10:59 am

stidmama

hey again ren, boo... ca 9? really? *faints*

11:00 am

DR1965

ca9 builds on the ca7... auto and Ms hayworth plural

Bit of an aside: it just occurred to me that my students likely have never and will never use a travel agent. Weird.

1:06 pm

sprite

1:06 pm

Norma

Thanks sprite x

1:06 pm

Takuma Sato

They just use online travel sites

1:07 pm

1:20 pm

jillibus

glad you like it, sprite -- as for yours, I'm holding my nose, lol!

1:21 pm

o-o

that critter you have as an icon, sprite, looks like it could do some damage to the unwary

1:21 pm

sprite

hehehe yeah, I wouldn't like to have Terra rolling in it. But he will, given half a chance.

1:21 pm

sprite

I have days I feel like one of those, BabbleRabble

1:22 pm

â€œThere are moments in life, when the heart is so full of emotion That if by chance it be shaken, or into its depths like a pebble Drops some careless word, it overflows, and its secret, Spilt on the ground like water, can never be gathered togetherâ€

1:30 pm

jacq

nods

1:30 pm

joshuavorbis

words also give daily happiness, for instance when you find them in a babble grid like they were there waiting for you

1:30 pm

sprite

exactly that.

1:31 pm

sprite

but babble words are never careless

1:31 pm

joshuavorbis

my monkeys would claim otherwise

1:31 pm

sprite

your monkeys are rascals, grin

1:35 pm

sprite

fireflies! And off to bed with me. Earlier than my kids, can you imagine? But I will do anything to get back on my feet again, even being a good girl.

2:50 pm

skbatson

First time player. Not sure what the Tile Stats and the Word Stats mean. Any help please?

2:51 pm

redturtlehead

ga peach, i have no idea, and but I hope it went well...

2:51 pm

joshuavorbis

skbatson - the tile stats show how many words originate from each tile

2:52 pm

gapeach

Thanks, red.

2:52 pm

joshuavorbis

the word stats tell you how many words of each length there are - for example, there are 85 4-letter words and 70 5-letter words and so on

2:53 pm

skbatson

Ok...I see that now, Joshua. Thanks! So what does it mean when one of you say es3/18?

2:54 pm

joshuavorbis

well for starters you won't hear anyone say that because we don't look for 3 letter words in babble. but if someone were to say es5/18, that would mean that there is a word that begins with es, has five letters, and the total points on all the tiles adds up to 18. well, actually they would add up to 9, because with 5 letter words, you add up the points on all the tiles and double them. for 6-letter words, you triple the tile points, 7 letter words you quadruple, and so on

2:55 pm

zoozzoom

Skbatson if you click here , this will also explain it for you. http://licketysplitaus.googlepages.com
/babbleclues.html

2:55 pm

redturtlehead

batson, there is also the little tiny help box above the chat box, it apparently is helpful. but the game is like boggle essentially.

2:55 pm

skbatson

Yeah..I was just making an example off the top of my head..lol How do you know it starts with es, cause all my tile stats only have one letter in each of them?

2:56 pm

skbatson

Thank you zoozzoom!

2:56 pm

2:56 pm

2:56 pm

2:56 pm

redturtlehead

I need to use it, but I must go walk the dog if I can stumble away....

2:56 pm

J. C.

Hello . . .

7:38 pm

Minveryork

Hello J.C.! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle

7:38 pm

danf63

DR told me about that...I haven't had as much time to chog while working. I usually just log in long enough to put in the words i got doing the grid on paper, then log out. Today, I have a LATE courier, so I have some extra time

7:39 pm

J. C.

Oh, a little keyed up from a great night, Minveryork - and yourself? :)

7:39 pm

Minveryork

I am well lbdawger.So sorry for the delayed response.

7:39 pm

Minveryork

So does a little keyed up mean a little tipsy J.C.? :=)

7:39 pm

lbdawger

hi JC. NP Min. glad you are well tonight.

7:40 pm

danf63

dawg...great Maxine-ism today!

7:40 pm

J. C.

Hi, lbdawger! :)

7:40 pm

lbdawger

I'm living by that one this week, Dan.

7:41 pm

danf63

YOU? Never!

7:42 pm

J. C.

Not at all, Minveryork - just had another show go over very well two nights' running, which is a relief! Up to Edinburgh for the weekend, next.

7:42 pm

J. C.

And I don't think I'll manage to finish this grid! :P

7:43 pm

lbdawger

ahhh, you're sweet Dan. but alas, i must confess, my evil twin slips thru at times.

7:43 pm

Minveryork

Oh good for you J.C. I am glad that it was a success!

7:43 pm

J. C.

Thank you, Minver - the grid won't be, however! ;)

7:44 pm

J. C.

I fear my ranking shall forever stay in the toilet . . .

7:44 pm

lbdawger

JC, I LOVE ALBIE!!!

7:44 pm

J. C.

So do I, lbdawger - isn't he impossibly cute? :)

7:44 pm

danf63

dawg, I refuse to believe that you are anything but a lady...ever!

7:45 pm

lbdawger

he is! you just want to snuggle with him!

7:45 pm

Minveryork

I've been unsuccessful w/grid for the past few days. I think that the last time I got fireworks was Monday

7:45 pm

lbdawger

*evil laugh from a great distance* okay Dan.

7:45 pm

J. C.

Yes, I do that - when he's actually tired enough to be still for a while, HAHAHA! :P

7:46 pm

lbdawger

how old is he, JC?

7:46 pm

J. C.

He's four months old, now . . .

7:46 pm

Minveryork

Oh I do not even care or worry about my rankings. I already know that it's ALWAYS in the toilet,probably even in the sewer for that matter J.C.

7:46 pm

J. C.

He was a little younger, in that photo . . .

7:46 pm

danf63

JC, I see that you are published...anything available way over here? I'm always looking for a new favorite book!

7:46 pm

gapeach

May I please have a clue for ca7-32 the 3rd? Thanks

7:47 pm

J. C.

Surely, Minveryork, you *must* be joking??? You always seem to finish every puzzle - and end up cluing everyone else?!

7:47 pm

J. C.

7:49 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

7:49 pm

danf63

7:49 pm

rururocks

7:50 pm

rururocks

hi guys

7:50 pm

danf63

ruru...foot bones...I usually hear it start with meta-

7:50 pm

J. C.

Dan, that's why I am asking if you have a Yahoo account, so I can add you to my contacts on the profiles' network . . .

7:50 pm

gapeach

Thanks much, y'all.

7:51 pm

rururocks

7:51 pm

7:52 pm

lbdawger

7:53 pm

J. C.

Well register one, then. ;) Actually Dan, I can send an invite to your Hotmail address anyway, but to accept it, you'll have to register a Yahoo account . . . good to have, because you can play Scrabble (Literati) and Word Racer (similar to this), on there . . . ;)

7:53 pm

rururocks

this scarlet is showing up too much in the grid for my liking. thank you...LBD

7:53 pm

lbdawger

7:53 pm

7:54 pm

featherbee

oh yeah, er, hi! lol, was reading back in chat, and just entered midway into the conversation!

7:55 pm

J. C.

No, featherbee - doesn't suit my purposes, as for any personal page of mine I need blogging capability. That's the main reason for using a network site!

7:55 pm

J. C.

Sorry Dan, no - it doesn't have what I want and I can't be on too much, because I'm very busy . . .

7:56 pm

featherbee

heh, my main reason for using facebook is to play scrabble and to see what my friends are up to at any given moment

7:56 pm

J. C.

I playl Scrabble on Yahoo . . .

7:56 pm

J. C.

And see what my contacts are up to there, also. ;)

7:56 pm

Minveryork

My ranking might go up during the summer because I have more time on my hands to babble, but once I go back to school(which will be very soon), it goes back down.

7:56 pm

J. C.

Erm - 'play'. There's my typing out the window, again. :P

7:56 pm

lbdawger

7:57 pm

danf63

blogging! I haven't even figured out how to put a profile picture on mine! (Darth is supposed to show me how this weekend, if he can stop IM'ing friends for more than 5 minutes that is...)

7:58 pm

danf63

JC...I meant send me a link to your work via my Hotmail...or to your blog, or something so i can look for your books.

7:58 pm

danf63

later dawg! it was great seeing you again!

7:58 pm

featherbee

7:58 pm
