You'll have the advantage of no shedding combined with spaniel eyes and poodle cleverness.

There is going to be a Hobbit Spangle Competition happening I can see it now

he looks a bit bewildered to me - like a lot of new dads
3:42 am
Haz1558
J. C. has his own opinions. You're allowed to have yours as well.
3:42 am
Andree
he is so tiny, he is probably very bewildered
3:44 am
lynxxx
Do you take your dogs to work with you Andree?
3:44 am

Haz1558
I'll regress, I know I will, but in the meantime I WILL be serene.
3:46 am
Haz1558
If this grid doesn't shape up soon, there'll be no remaining serene.
3:46 am
Haz1558
FM mentioned some strange words, that never bodes well, does it?
3:47 am
Andree
i wasn't feeling too serene this morning
3:47 am
Andree
i should find some words i suppose
3:47 am
Haz1558
I can imagine.
3:48 am
Haz1558
It's quite a Scottish grid, I've found fog and men's gear already.

And ra4/4 of course, to keep the hillsides green.

We're very close to having a mullet, such awful memories of that style.
3:57 am

wow this is not so easy is it
3:57 am
Haz1558
No, it's a pick one out at a time kind of grid.

Clue @ 3.33 Faith
4:06 am
forwardbyfaith
i googled it and am only finding a 6 letter word for the prayer shawl
4:06 am
herinfernallady
You need to extend that
4:06 am
Haz1558
forward - four letters to show how high you are, add a vowel, then four letters to show how slim you are, but replace the last letter with the one preceding it in the alphabet.
4:10 am
forwardbyfaith
not getting the ending of your clue, Haz. Man, I have this grid!
4:10 am
lynxxx
the opposite of her Faith
4:11 am
Haz1558
The Duchess of Windsor said you can never be too rich or too **** - change the last letter. (Posh Spice seems to have the same motto)
4:11 am

Good morning Wolvie!
4:18 am
Wolvie
hey - signed on and cleared the v's - that's a good sign, no? lol
4:18 am
Haz1558
I've used some indicators from the chat log, got all the 8s if you want them.
4:18 am
Haz1558
Keep that optimism going, Wolvie.
4:18 am
Andree
yes please haz, i have 9 but no 8's
4:19 am
Wolvie
looks like I am going to need it from the comments I am just now reading in chat. eek!
4:19 am
Haz1558
di8 - a physical reaction, results in something getting smaller.
4:19 am
Haz1558
il8 - similar structure, might describe someone who rejoices in being sick?
4:20 am
Haz1558
ma8 - eat a snickers bar and run for miles.
4:21 am
Wolvie
hey - ty for the 8 clues haz. cool
4:21 am
Haz1558
mi8 - four letters where grain is treated, first two letters of that word backwards, and **me is where the heart is.
4:21 am
lynxxx
now that one you made up!
4:22 am
Haz1558
You'd think so, wouldn't you?
4:22 am
lynxxx
TY though - didn't have that one
4:22 am
Wolvie
whoa on the mi 8.
4:23 am
Haz1558
Some of the clever clogs found it earlier and clued it.
4:25 am
lynxxx
I found li6.24 ... li & stubborn as a **** but change last vowel
4:26 am
Haz1558
Another new one, thanks, lynxxx.
4:27 am
Haz1558
Ata would probably have found it straightaway. It's a nippy sea thing, she knows all about them.
4:28 am
Wolvie
true haz, and here's me thinking it was probably plant related. lol
4:29 am

4:30 am
Andree
not even morewords is helping me with di8
4:30 am
Andree
bye lynxxx
4:31 am
Haz1558
di8 - think what pupils of the eyes do when faced with strong light.
4:31 am
Wolvie
your capillaries are said to di .. when faced with cold, then make that the state of
4:31 am
Wolvie
much better clue haz. typical. :-)
4:32 am
Haz1558
Now I'm starting to think I've got the wrong end of the stick, let me check the meaning. (this must be what it's like doing 'Who wants to be a millionaire?', you doubt yourself.
4:33 am
Haz1558
I was talking nonsense - di8 refers to expansion, pupils getting bigger in the dark.
4:34 am
Andree
thx wolvie and haz
4:34 am
Wolvie
worse? I still got it the first time you clued it. lol
4:34 am
FMitch
Haz talking nonsense - what is the world coming to?
4:34 am
Haz1558
Sorry for misleading information.
4:35 am
Haz1558
I know, FM, that'll teach me to sound forth.
4:35 am
Wolvie
I even clued it wrong for goodness sakes. You'd never know I knew any words. lol
4:35 am
Wolvie
haz, just give the Queenly wave and move amongst your subjects. :-)
4:35 am
FMitch
next you will be altering a dress and sewing curtains *swoons at the thought*

4:36 am
FMitch
Hi there Wolvie :)
4:36 am
Wolvie
perish the thought!
4:36 am
Haz1558
I'm swooning at the thought as well, FM.

Wolvie
no apologies - the wave will do
4:37 am
Andree
is there a list?
4:37 am
FMitch
I'm sure it is about to pour down, if it gets any darker I will have to put the lights on!
4:38 am
Haz1558
I know they say 'Never explain, never apologise' but that only leaves people thinking that you're both arrogant and stupid.
4:38 am
Wolvie

4:40 am
JBsAnno
I could not resist the pull of Babble today, but have to go get ready for work. I'll be grinning at thought of Haz waving at curtains during her speech...
4:41 am
FMitch
I've copied the list into my profile for those that can't access BabAnon.
4:41 am
Wolvie
lol - have a good day JB
4:41 am
Wolvie
that would be cool FM
4:41 am
FMitch
lol JBs have a good day.
4:41 am
Wolvie
of course, I can access it , just lazy
4:41 am
Andree
i am going to start dinner , back soon
4:42 am
JBsAnno
TY, FM, I need a little push, up to 43 so far. Good day, all!! *poof*
4:42 am
Haz1558
Enjoy the day, JBs, good to see you. (Waving elegantly)
4:42 am
Wolvie
bye andree
4:42 am
FMitch
Oh you have been practising your wave Haz, much improved :)
4:43 am
Haz1558
Those private lessons were worth the money, then?
4:43 am
FMitch
just don't forget to take off the rubber gloves next time.
4:43 am
Wolvie
she's always had a way about her FM. ;-)
4:44 am
Haz1558
Well spotted, FM, I must remember in future.
4:46 am
FMitch
*sudenly imagines Haz as The Queen - the sceptre would be a feather duster and the orb would be Spangles ball*
4:47 am
Haz1558
I think the only thing that the Queen and I have in common is that we're short and heading towards being stout. I wouldn't mind her complexion at 80+.
4:48 am
FMitch
you are not stout by any stretch of the imagination - remeber I have met you! and as for height you are petite :)
4:49 am
Haz1558
Can I announce the birth of a new word? Husband was trying to say 'equate', got mixed up with 'equivalant' and a new verb 'to equivalate' has entered the language.
4:49 am
Wolvie
my sister is only 4'11" - you top that haz?
4:49 am
Wolvie
it will show up in babble now. great word
4:49 am
Haz1558
I feel stout! I'm about 5 1 or so.
4:50 am
FMitch
Ecellent new word Haz.
4:50 am
Wolvie
well, I trust FM about the stout thing. :-)
4:50 am
Haz1558
Isn't it? He has a habit of getting words mixed up, I think this one has great merit.
4:51 am
Wolvie
thankfully, I am not as short as my sis - right at 5'7" - average, I guess
4:51 am
Haz1558
What heights were your parents?
4:51 am
FMitch
I'm at the upper end of the scale 6'
4:52 am
Wolvie
Dad was 5'9, Mom 5'0" - but Dad had brothers over 6'.
4:52 am
Wolvie
ooh cool FM - wish I was ta**
4:53 am
Wolvie
Mom's family had a lot of short folks
4:53 am
louuol2004
morning all!xx
4:53 am
Haz1558
So you and your sister were kind of representative of your parents' heights.
4:53 am
Haz1558
Good morning lou.
4:53 am
louuol2004
hi wolvie...hows the grid today?
4:53 am
louuol2004
hi haz
4:54 am
FMitch
My Mum was 5'11" but has lost 3 inches due to back issues, my Dad was about 5'8" but Mums Dad was tall.
Hi lou
4:54 am
Wolvie
you could put it that way. I am the youngster of the two, and benefited from vitamins and the increased natal care that came in the 6 years between. that's my story and I am sticking to it. ;-)
4:54 am
Haz1558
The grid is...one that requires attention.
4:54 am
FMitch
I wonder how tall a child of mine would have been if me and my ex had kids - he was 6'7"
4:54 am
Wolvie
interesting FM
4:54 am
louuol2004
that doesnt sound goo haz. lol
4:55 am
Wolvie

4:55 am

4:55 am
herinfernallady
hello
4:55 am
Wolvie

4:55 am

12:10 pm

Many of of them..but usually someone needs a reply, so frustrating but has to be done.

the orthopedist I was seeing for my hip (M.D.) gave me a referral to another MD -- when that office called to set up an appointment, the young woman on the line wanted to argue with me that a PA would be just as good. I am STEAMED.
4:42 pm
stidmama
I live at LEAST 2 hours away from that doc's office and don't want to take my recalcitrant hip to see someone who will need to consult with the M.D. anyway!
4:42 pm
stidmama
thanks. I feel better.
4:43 pm
Dorens
can you see humor in this? i mean, if you have a referral, you will see the MD. and this young woman can think whatever she wants, right?
4:43 pm
Uneaixoise
so sorry, stid -- that sounds totally outrageous
4:44 pm
Dorens
my orthopod yesterday wrote me a referral for a CT scan, i was able to get an appointment for a convenient time after school today, but had to cancel it cause my stupid insurance company hasn't approved it yet.
4:44 pm
suefrad625
Stid, ask to speak to a doc
4:44 pm
suefrad625
that way the lady doesnt push you into Jan for an appt
4:44 pm
Dorens
between the idiots working in the md's offices and the idiots at the insurance company, we can't win

4:50 pm

good one, stiddy!
4:52 pm

I went back to work and after listening to a hysterically funny death threat (you communist you are just like Hitler) . . .
4:53 pm
stidmama
oh no jmc. *more hugs*
4:54 pm
jmcnrick
no no the death threat was cute as a bug --- you could hear his buddies prompting him with new insults! lol
4:54 pm
stidmama
oh! *grin* okay, take your word for it!
4:54 pm
jmcnrick
my staff saved it for me to listen too
4:54 pm
jmcnrick
he finished with "I hope this ruins you day" and I said "Hell no it made my day"
4:55 pm
stidmama
good for you.
4:55 pm
jmcnrick
but then the phone (remember it is a hotline) and the internet died
4:55 pm
jmcnrick
it's all still out
4:55 pm
stidmama
oh, that's not good at all.
4:55 pm
stidmama
which reminds me, I should make a phone call, but feeling shy...
4:56 pm
jmcnrick
hard to run a hotline with a dead phone
4:56 pm
jmcnrick
they said they would call me and I gave them my cell and they apparently called the dead phone instead
4:56 pm
stidmama
will trade -- If I have the dead phone I have an excuse to not call, and you can get as many "love notes" as you like
4:56 pm
jmcnrick
so I didn't forward the hotline but will in the morning if it is still dead
4:57 pm
stidmama
yes, I sort of have a phone phobia... it's better than it used to be though.
4:57 pm
jesdraggon
sounds fun, jam...can you get a transcript?
4:57 pm
jmcnrick
my daddy was that way
4:57 pm
jmcnrick
I think I will . . . we were rolfing for sure
4:57 pm
Dorens
hmmm interesting timing
4:58 pm
stidmama
and I want to have coffee with a language teacher who came to my class last year (he's now living in our area) but I need to call him to figure out when and where.
4:58 pm
jmcnrick
In my business if you don't get a death threat or two you aren't doing your job
4:58 pm
stidmama
hey jes! ((hugs)) my silly dog was too dumb to stop running after his toy so I brought him inside so he would rest... it's hot over here.
4:59 pm
jmcnrick
so when I want information but am too shy to ask, I call when I am sure they won't be there (like their home number during work hours) and then leave a message
4:59 pm
jesdraggon
hi stid :)
4:59 pm
jesdraggon
heh. yeah... i really wish I had a dollar for everytime someone threatened to sue me!
4:59 pm
Dorens
jmc... shy??? hard to imagine that one
4:59 pm
jmcnrick
yes even people like me can be shy from time to time
5:00 pm
jesdraggon
hey stid--cute pics for you! http://draggonlaady.livejournal.com/ta

5:00 pm
stidmama
that's a good idea, jmc! I have both his cell phone and his home. good chance the cell phone doesn't work when he is at home out here...
5:00 pm
jmcnrick
I figured out a long time ago I am less shy if there are rules and I know them
5:00 pm
stidmama
oh! brb *need cute fix*
5:01 pm
Dorens
what? is she giving tom a hug or something?
5:01 pm
stidmama
funny, jes -- what is the fuzzy critter in those pics?
5:01 pm
jesdraggon
kitten :)
5:01 pm
jesdraggon
he was sleeping, and the frog was apparently just hanging out with him
5:01 pm
stidmama
I have never seen a live frog here, there used to be hundreds. I can hear few in the spring sometimes, but each year fewer and fewer.
5:02 pm
stidmama
rofl... funny little frog!
5:02 pm
Dorens
frogs seem to be disappearing all around the earth
5:02 pm
o-o
who said this?
That was what, ultimately, war did to you. It was not the physical dangers; the mines at sea, the bombs from the air, the crisp ping of a rifle bullet as you drove over a desert track. No, it was the spiritual danger of learning how much easier life was if you ceased to think.
5:02 pm
jesdraggon
really? they are ALL OVER here, and it's weird because it's really dry
5:02 pm
stidmama
no idea, BR -- but it makes sense.
5:02 pm
Dorens
oh no babrab, if you don't know, no one will
5:03 pm
stidmama
I like the nose essay, btw
5:03 pm
stidmama
sure it's a frog not a toad?
5:04 pm
stidmama
just thinking that maybe the toads are feeling the dryness and coming closer to the damp, watered lawns and such.
5:04 pm
jesdraggon
yeah, we have lots of them

5:05 pm
Dorens
nose essay is good... missing "keep your nose clean"
5:05 pm
stidmama
Well, my afternoon headache has started. I think I shall go get something for it and come back in a bit... so the critter is persistent, eh jes?
5:05 pm
stidmama
back in a bit. *temp-poof*
5:06 pm

bye, stid! yeah, i'm being stalked by the frogs
5:06 pm

later stid good luck
5:06 pm

bye stiddie
5:06 pm
Dorens
well jes, due to global warming, there are fewer world wide... guess they
5:06 pm
Dorens
they're all hanging out with you
5:07 pm
jmcnrick
jes will keep them safe
5:07 pm
jesdraggon
hah. hardly... they are really lucky if i find them before the cats do!
5:08 pm
jesdraggon
though apparently that particular cat is less of a danger than the 4 I have at home
5:08 pm
jesdraggon
and seems i need to go back to work....
5:11 pm
jmcnrick
yeah, just so you know dorens this is not a fun little grid :-(
5:13 pm
Dorens
i thought i used the word challenge??? sorry if i misled.. bye jes
5:14 pm
Dorens
i did say it had more than its share of unusual words, didn't I?
5:14 pm
jmcnrick
you did say that!
5:14 pm
Dorens
i've neem lucky... been on twice today and happened to catch clues (probably some from babrab) for words i never would have dreamed up
5:15 pm
jmcnrick
some days are like that dorens -- but since the internet was down at work I haven't been so lucky today!
5:17 pm
Dorens
hmm neem was supposed to be BeeN. and yes, it's all about timing. hope your luck turns soon

5:29 pm
72 Temple Owl
what book are you discussing doren?
5:30 pm
Dorens
we read three over the summer... the scenic route, the magician's assistant and the abstinence teacher. I didn't really like the last at all. the scenic route was allright but not really all that good. magician's assistant was by ann patchett. not her best book, but I do like her style a lot
5:30 pm
Dorens
but my other book group read The Shadow of the Wind which I simply adored!
5:30 pm
stidmama
sounds like a diverse list, dorens
5:31 pm
72 Temple Owl
hey, the recession is over! they say so on the news! :D
5:31 pm
Dorens
the 3 were chosen as "summer reading".. light stuff, and they were that. scenic route was perfect for a vacation book (would have been better if I were traveling around Europe, as that was the scenic route the book was named for)
5:32 pm
Dorens
hip hip hooray. who are "they" owl?
5:32 pm
72 Temple Owl
abc nightly news. hey doren i went to tj maxx her and picked up an interesting purse. the price was $11((
5:32 pm
stidmama
just read the synopsis of the spanish book - sounds intriguing; and a world-wide best-seller, too
5:33 pm
72 Temple Owl
sorry that was $1199! what a bargain!
5:33 pm

oh it was one of the best books i've read in ages stid... stories within stories, books within books, some really fascinating characters too

employment is trailing indicator...keeps falling tho other things picking up...new hires come after tech/machinery upgrades usually (because they are supposed to boost productivity therefore less hires needed) ...but look out subprime resets have not hit zenith yet and commercial real estate market is not godd...gonna get worse...
5:36 pm

they could not get a drop out of crossy - all that congealed bacon fat ;)

i am wondering how school fared back home - in dispute about % of health insurance pay split
5:40 pm
TraderKate
unemployment in u.s. almost 10%, but it will exceed that before it's all over, revised expectation is for 10.6%....sorry
5:40 pm
stidmama
Our school had to let the counselor go in order to keep all the teachers. I was very sad to see her leave. She helped us out so much -- and many other families.
5:40 pm
crosshair
school does not supply it though..we supply the kids
5:41 pm
crosshair
nd classes are now 45-50 heads per room
5:41 pm
stidmama
the problem for her is, ALL the schools were doing that, and she is older so finding something -- anything is unlikely. They will hire less experienced (cheaper) counselors first
5:41 pm
Dorens
something i have been promised won't happen in my district stid... but i can imagine if they have to make cuts, at some point they will keep one counselor for the two schools, which won't be nearly as effective..
5:42 pm
TraderKate
yu mentioned that before stid, was surprised to hear these days that the counsellor would be gone...
5:42 pm
stidmama
NO. that's too many kids for a classroom, cross. that is rotten. At least our little school managed to keep the class sizes down.
5:42 pm
stidmama
But I don't know for how long our small district can maintain.
5:42 pm
crosshair
and 50% in portables
5:42 pm
Dorens
yes indeed... very sad for her. i was lucky to switch into my current district at the age of 55
5:43 pm
Dorens
counselors aren't mandatory kate, although certainly helpful
5:43 pm
TraderKate
where are there 40-50 in a class crossy? and what is nd?
5:43 pm
Dorens
i think nd is And
5:43 pm
stidmama
exactly, dorens. and though we have good administrators, now they will be even more stressed, dealing with emotional and other 'counseling' issues as well as all the other duties.
5:44 pm
stidmama
okay, I have to add this one to my list of silly words: "trimulation" the attempt to copy another person's BLING
5:44 pm
TraderKate
it's just that the use of counselors has gone up dramatically the last 10=15 years...grief counseling etc. is a lot more common now...especially with all the stuff you hear on the news...?
5:44 pm
Dorens
teachers will have to try to pick up the slack too. not easy
5:45 pm
Dorens
oh sure, we think we are very important, almost irreplaceable, but when it comes down to it, test scores matter more. that is what drives the machine, and if there is less $$, where do the cuts get made? arts suffer, all the unessentials suffer
5:45 pm
stidmama
yes, that too, dorens. and tough to do that when you have 25-30 other kids who need attention.
5:46 pm
Kazozz
hi all :)..not loving this grid!!!
5:46 pm
stidmama
hey kazz ((hugs))
5:46 pm
TraderKate
surprised they didn't cut art or music first...
5:46 pm
Dorens
it sure is stid... but there will always be those who remember the days when my job didn't exist, and the teachers just had to. kaz, you are in good company
5:46 pm
TraderKate
hi kazz
5:46 pm
Kazozz
hey TraderKate...tried to find you on facebook..are you wearing a red top in your pic?
5:46 pm
stidmama
well, to be honest, a student who is struggling with personal or behavioral issues isn't going to do as well in school (or on tests) as one who is receiving the right kind of help...
5:46 pm
Kazozz
aww thanks for the hug stid..needed that :)
5:46 pm
Dorens
our schools cut out instrumental music and really trimmed down the art and music, but i think the state still mandates it to some extent
5:47 pm
Dorens
you are so right stid... you and I both know that
5:47 pm
TraderKate
that's me ^_^...changed pic so i could be identified easily...
5:47 pm

5:47 pm
Kazozz
ok i'll send request!
5:47 pm
Dorens
hah! and no internet, no violent video games, etc etc etc
5:48 pm
stidmama
yep, same here dorens -- we kept the music program, but art was cut a couple years ago; which means that teachers have to include that now in addition to all the other things they have to get to.
5:48 pm
TraderKate
i'll watch for it :-)
5:48 pm
Dorens
it's a doozie wild. start with the 4/5 above it... then the acronym for someone who is giving their lowly opinion
5:48 pm
stidmama
mi 8? really? *tracks back to grid*
5:48 pm
Dorens
can you imagine stid? no instrumental music until high school???/ where would your kid be?
5:49 pm
stidmama
wow, dorens, excellent clue.
5:49 pm
stidmama
mine would be... still homeschooled probably! LOL
5:49 pm
stidmama
and then we would ALL need counseling!
5:49 pm
TraderKate
back in the day, no one saw the guidance dept. except when it came time to select your courses for the next year or maybe you wanted to add/ dro a course...

8:49 pm
robbie09
I wish I could be there with you tomorrow to greet mr hate
8:49 pm
Trifioso
it's more his selfishness that comes in to play. I really do believe he intends to leave us with as little as the law will allow.
8:50 pm
72 Temple Owl
and we see too much on TV in that regard that is simply not feasible, to fight over relatively small stuff
8:50 pm
lbdawger
Trif you need to have a witness with you when he comes
8:50 pm

I am trying to look on the positive side - less clutter! I can paint the colors I want to paint!

things equate to $. if he gets more than half the stuff, you get more $. you havekids, i did not have that leverage
8:51 pm
Trifioso
yes, we have a neutral party involved as well, lbd.
8:51 pm
72 Temple Owl
i respectfully disagree. you cannot make an ordinary divorce the war of the roses.

TO, your icon is hilarious!

my ex took$!)k ofbonds off the top. you cannot spend hours and hours of lawyer money to asgue that. plus took car and sold for a pittance. but it was not like he sold a beamer for $100 to get even.
8:53 pm
72 Temple Owl
he pocketed less than 2 grand. you have to let go at some point.
8:53 pm
Trifioso
the best part is, we have to set an end date - as in, he has until (whenever we decide) to get his stuff out of here. whatever is left past then is mine to do with as I see fit. stay tuned for the "if he touched it, loved it, used it, bought, looked at it - IT GOES" yard sale!
