2:19 am

TraderKate

good, glad it worked..if you go in my profile it is animated!

2:20 am

TraderKate

2:20 am

lynxxx

hi Katie!

2:21 am

KatieMcG

Hi lynxxx good to see you, how are things?

2:21 am

TraderKate

hi there lynxxx! how be you tonight?

2:21 am

lynxxx

lo, I know Kate. Pls don't change it but I hate those animated ones, I find them really distracting as can always see them out of the corner of my eye

2:22 am

KatieMcG

It's not animated on my screen just when I go into Kates profile

2:22 am

lynxxx

Things are good here Katie. What is news with you

2:23 am

TraderKate

i saw one the other day on here, the motion messed up the chog i think...you don't see it moving in the chog do you?

2:23 am

TraderKate

i have been up to noi good on face book...sending out a million little things for people to look at!...i am a bad bsad babbler!

2:24 am

KatieMcG

got the day off yeah!!!!! perparing for hubbys 40th birthday party tomorrow but it is at a pub so don't have much to do so a day of fairy garden & babble lol

2:24 am

lynxxx

I just refreshed but it hasn't come thru yet for me

2:24 am

TraderKate

did you get much of that dust storm sydney got?

2:24 am

lynxxx

Fairy garden?

2:25 am

KatieMcG

a facebook application I have just got kate addicted to lol

2:26 am

KatieMcG

it's a virtual garden where you can spot wildlife, I play it all the time now

2:26 am

lynxxx

No Kate, I am down south in Melbourne - Victoria. the dust storm just hit New South Wales & Queensland. Maybe another coming this weekend too

2:26 am

KatieMcG

they were amazing photos

2:26 am

TraderKate

HI KITT...i sent you lots of stuff i think....for a while yesterday, i couldn't get to your garden...missed the gold...but i was there today..need a few more fairies' gardens to visit.

2:27 am

lynxxx

Sounds like another good time water Katie

2:27 am

lynxxx

water - waster!

2:27 am

TraderKate

YPOU ARE BAD KITT>>>>VERY BAD....i don't have enough time for all this foolishness right now...

2:27 am

KatieMcG

Oh it is lynxxx, it has taken over from babble at the moment but I'm sure the tables will turn again

2:28 am

TraderKate

tons of time wasters, but fun...do you do farmville or yoville?

2:29 am

TraderKate

it is harder to entice people to come to fairylsand...especially the guys....giuess it's the name that keeps them away

2:29 am

KatieMcG

No I have to draw the line, babble and fairygarden is all I allow myself and to be honest I don't have time for both of them

2:31 am

TraderKate

farmville doesn't take much time, and the nice thing is you can do as little as you want...the thing with fairyland is if you are hunting something special it can take an enormous amoutnt of time

2:31 am

lynxxx

That's the easy ones done, back later to get the harder ones. I must get some lunch. Bye for now

2:31 am

KatieMcG

I have spotted every single animal in fairygarden and only have 4 more to attract, I am seriously addicted!

2:31 am

KatieMcG

Bye Lynxxx, great to see you x

2:32 am

TraderKate

2:34 am

TraderKate

2:35 am

TraderKate

2:37 am

TraderKate

2:37 am

KatieMcG

I will email you the link to the forum link for the calculator. I still need a badger, bee eater & road runner. When I level up I will be looking for a kingfisher but can't get one yet. I'm leaving my mushroom in to attract dragons for a few days until everything else fruits

2:58 am

TraderKate

TraderKate

3:01 am

TraderKate

3:14 am

Andree

hi everyone

3:17 am

Norma

Hi Andree

3:18 am

Andree

hi norma, quiet around here

3:18 am

Norma

Think everyone has gone back to sleep lol

3:18 am

Christine

Andree, did you finish your quilt, last night?

3:19 am

Andree

no christine, doing the edge so takes a while, will finish tonight though

3:20 am

Andree

can't resist having a bit of babble time

3:20 am

Andree

i am not addicted ofcourse

3:21 am

Norma

None of us are Andree lol

3:25 am

TraderKate

hello all!

3:25 am

Christine

ooops -- the bloomin' computer red-lined on me. So, Andree, I tried to suggest that sometime, perhaps, you could post a picture of the quilt on your profile?

3:27 am

Andree

hi kate

3:29 am

TraderKate

hi andree

3:29 am

Andree

I have made an awful lot of quilts chris, started 30 years ago

3:29 am

TraderKate

nose in grid again

3:30 am

Andree

this is for my sister who has moved from a 1 bed unit into a 2 bedder and this will grace the spare bed

3:31 am

Andree

i am dying to finish it as i have collected japanese fabrics for some time and will do a pattern of fans, looking forward to it

3:33 am

Christine

I've been playing with fabric for almost 40years, yet to make a quilt. I like making the blocks, but get excited about the next block long before I could make a full quilt, so I send the blocks to an on-line quilty friend whose guild makes quilts for returning warriors.

3:34 am

Andree

at least they are put to very good use

3:34 am

Christine

I almost finished a top wjen I was teaching a class at the local library -- always one block ahead of the class -- but the class folded and I sent the blocks to their destiny.

3:35 am

Andree

and i know the feeling of thinking about the next one before finishing

3:36 am

Christine

If I can make it to 300years, and my back gets better (so that I can sit up for more than 15minbs) I may make a dent on the fabric that fills the apartment ... good insulation, if I lived in the frigid North.

3:38 am

Andree

keep the fabric chris, the best quilter is the one who dies with the most fabric in her stash

3:39 am

Christine

Nooooooooooooo - the most quilts. I have a friend who knows her kids will us her stash for cleaning rags, so she's taking it with her, packed around her in her coffin. TRUE STORY.

3:40 am

Andree

lol

3:48 am

Christine

I don't like this grid, so I'm off to my book. Goodnight all.

3:51 am

Andree

bye chris

3:55 am

3:59 am

Andree

i have been cleaning for days, went to the car wash today and had the pool man in to treat the silt on the bottom of the pool

3:59 am

TraderKate

heard there were 2 small earthquakes the same day as the storm

4:01 am

Andree

they were in victoria, sydney really copped the dust storm, everything was covered with red dust, it even burned my new tomatoe seedlings

4:01 am

Andree

hope the forcaster is wrong , they usually are

4:02 am

TraderKate

how did the seedlings get burned? from wind?

4:02 am

TraderKate

lol, the forecasters are no better here

4:03 am

Andree

i am not sure, they should be okay, first thing i did when it was over was hose my veg garden

4:03 am

TraderKate

well, i hope that if there was some nasty wind, it brought you some extra work..clean up bins required?

4:04 am

TraderKate

from what i understand the dust covered everyting thickly

4:05 am

Andree

it did, the guys at the car wash sure had big smiles

4:05 am

TraderKate

i forget it is the start of spring there, i am very envious..i missed spring and summer this year and now am looking to wintre. FEELING VERY CHEATED

4:05 am

TraderKate

Andree

4:06 am

Andree

TraderKate

5:41 am

TraderKate

yes, do use the bulk add, no problem with that, just annoyed that in order to stay with chog and grid i must get the word list to manageable level then write list of missing words by hand, hoping that i insert them in the correct spots if the point counts are the same..and of course anything entered in lickety must be re-entered in babble after that , which can lead to errors of forgettin g to add..

5:42 am

TraderKate

there is no un worde

5:43 am

LoriP

So, before the inevitable "can I have the 8 please", may I have the first 2 letters ONLY?

8:19 am

Uneaixoise

8:19 am

Andree

you are kidding me trif

Trifioso

hi annie. Yes, I suppose you are right. and I will, TO

8:20 am

Anniebrook

Trif, If you disrupts Babble Dr.G can help

Andree

he turned it personal when he lifted from my profile, nothing changes that

8:21 am

Anniebrook

8:24 am

Judi

Uh oh. Who is this person, so I know to ignore him if I see him?

8:24 am

Anniebrook

JC

8:24 am

Andree

you are right annie, but i felt bad when crossy tried to apologise to me this evening because he felt he has opened the original conversation

8:25 am

Trifioso

yes, that is what I am most guilty of, unfortunately. I did use your name in one of my replies, which I obviously regret tremendously. I thought he had in the original post.

8:25 am

Trifioso

andree, I have just sent you an email. It will explain everything

8:26 am

Andree

are you sure trif, my son checked it over very carefully to see what could be done and as my name was not used , nothing

8:26 am

Anniebrook

JC once went after Haz in the same manner...best to pay him not mind..that will drive him nuts

8:26 am

Anniebrook

*no

8:26 am

JC? What did he do wrong?

8:26 am

Anniebrook

and then he will go away until the next tim

On second thoughts, that may be personal. Sorry! Don't feel you have to answer, I'm not trying to pry!

Andree

will check my emails

8:27 am

Trifioso

I used your name, I am so sorry.

8:27 am

Sally-catlover

Andree, he has done himself the most enormous harm as I see it. Before I realised who he was (if he is telling the truth), he came over as someone desperately seeking attention. He needs the public for his career, and if he alienates them he has no career.

8:28 am

72 Temple Owl

all you who have given him your email addy and subscribed to his blog be vigilant

8:28 am

Andree

nothing to be sorry about trif, your intentions and bravery were wonderful

Trif, Haz has a good description of this person on her profile.

8:39 am

8:44 am

Trifioso

I wonder how long it takes an email to get from oz to here - maybe seconds, maybe minutes? Isn't that mind blowing, when you think of it? I used to send posts to my friend in Australia back in the 80's, and it was a question of six weeks out, six weeks back. Amazing

8:44 am

8:45 am

9:06 am

mkg

ty

9:06 am

Haz1558

st6 - st plus donkeys losing one of the double plural letters in the middle.

9:06 am

street spirit

My excuse for missing that one is that this is my first time trying this. A friend recommended me - typically, he has not been on in months himself..

9:06 am

mkg

st 6 please?

9:06 am

mkg

oops i see the clue now.

9:06 am

u - radius and ?

9:09 am

harpjane

part of the eye uv4

9:09 am

Haz1558

I should have said ul4 and it anagrams as well.

9:10 am

Trifioso

and that greyed it! thanks ladies....have to scoot now, I have a forest of paperwork to slog through

9:11 am

Haz1558

Paperwork = unbounded joy.

9:11 am

Trifioso

you have no idea, haz! I have to go back through a year's worth of bank statements and visa statements to account for every single transaction - where it went, and who paid it, and who spent what, in preparation for a marathon meeting with my lawyer on monday. oh, such joy

9:12 am

Haz1558

My heart is sinking for you.

9:12 am

harpjane

found a fish tu4

9:13 am

Haz1558

I'm the world's worst, I never take any note of what I'm spending money on. It sounds horrendous.

9:13 am

Sally-catlover

You'll feel good when it's done, Trif. Bit like cleaning out the attic.

9:13 am

Trifioso

actually, it is giving me a feeling of control, haz. Once it is out on paper, I am in a much better bargaining position. I won't have to *guess* how much my average electric bill is, I will know. Knowledge is power.

9:13 am

Trifioso

the scary part is, I can come up with a monthly figure, but the court might not grant it. It could be hundreds less.

9:14 am

Haz1558

You're doing a fine job of accentuating the positive, I'll grant you that.

9:15 am

Trifioso

as I said before, I am a New Englander, raised by a Depression baby who's mother was Scottish. Thrift runs in my blood

9:15 am

Haz1558

And we've already discussed possible menu choices...

9:17 am

Trifioso

yes, I threatened the kids with it the other day! Suddenly the dinner I had prepared was quite appealing!

9:17 am

Haz1558

I can imagine!

9:18 am

Haz1558

Seriously, I wish you didn't have to be doing this, but since you must, I hope it goes smoothly and leaves you feeling that you've achieved something.

9:22 am

Trifioso

actually - I think I have changed my mind. it is a lovely fall day outside, and there is yard work still to be done. I still am splitting up those trees I had taken down, and the gardens need to be put to winter bed. I think I will go out side and revel in nature. Paperwork can wait til night time, can't it?

9:23 am

Trifioso

in any case, off I go. Cheers, dears! And special thanks, Haz. I appreciate your warm thoughts. It will all be sorted soon, and we can all celebrate.

9:23 am

Sally-catlover

I recognise a fellow procrastinator :-) But the fresh air will clear your head and make it easier later.

9:24 am

Trifioso

LOL sally! Yes, sometimes those logs do have faces....

9:26 am

street spirit

Hurrah! Halfway mark

9:26 am

Haz1558

All the best, Trif.

9:27 am

Haz1558

You're doing very well, street spirit. You're enjoying the puzzle?

9:28 am

street spirit

Thanks, Haz :) and yes, I am. The chat is impressive, too - everyone's so nice to each other!
Can't wait to flaunt some of these words in my english class...

9:29 am

Sally-catlover

lol street spirit. You haven't caughton yet that these are special babble words, never to be seen anywhere else!

9:30 am

Haz1558

Some of us are still waiting to introduce hairy-nosed dolphins into conversations (inia). Some of the words are mind-boggling but it's fun to find them.

9:30 am

Vicuna

Hello, all.

9:30 am

Sally-catlover

Since I can't sew I'm unlikely to need to buy an etui.

9:30 am

Haz1558

Vicuna! Hello!

9:31 am

Vicuna

How are you?

9:31 am

Haz1558

Funnily enough, Sally, someone the other day was looking for 'needlecase' in a crossword. Such triumph when I could tell them.

9:31 am

street spirit

Inia? Etui?!
Time to start the rest of my life searching for hairy-nosed dolphins in the Thames.

9:31 am

Haz1558

I'm well, Vicuna, how are you and the twins of Glory?

9:32 am

Sally-catlover

lol Haz.

9:32 am

Vicuna

TOG-girl wiped out on her bicycle on Saturday. Much blood and agony. Two stitches inside her lip. Ugh. Otherwise we're all splendid!

9:32 am

Sally-catlover

Vicuna, just seen your recipe. Ooooh, temptation get thee behind me.

9:32 am

Haz1558

The sad fact is that English is composed of words stolen from lots of languages and we poor babblers have to broaden our vocabulary to find them.

9:33 am

Vicuna

Just do it, Sally! It's awesome!

9:33 am

Vicuna

ANd you need to eat only a very small serving at a time because it's so rich. honestly!

9:33 am

Sally-catlover

I already have rather a lot of past temptation showing on my behind.

9:33 am

Haz1558

Two stitches! And her poor lip will have been swollen, I'm sure. Is she still able to eat ice-cream?

9:34 am

Vicuna

lol. Oh well, fine!

9:35 am

Vicuna

Her lip was bigger than her nose at first, but it's amazing how fast her little 7-year-old body heals. It's like watching time lapse photography. I'm so jealous. She's almost back to normal again already.

9:35 am

Sally-catlover

Well, I have sneaked a copy, just in case ...

9:36 am

Haz1558

That's good, Vicuna. Did the bike need major surgery?

9:36 am

Vicuna

Still afraid to get back on the bike again, though.

9:36 am

Sally-catlover

I take it 1 c of sugar is a cup?

9:36 am

jacq

hello again everybody

9:36 am

jacq

back for my final 2

9:36 am

Haz1558

I can understand her reluctance, hopefully she'll pluck up courage soon.

9:36 am

Haz1558

Hello jacq.

9:36 am

jacq

heya haz

9:37 am

Vicuna

I think the bike's fine, although to be honest we haven't really looked at it since bringing it home in the car. (SHe couldn't ride home, so we abandoned it by the side of the road and walked her home, then went back for the bike with the car.)

9:37 am

Sally-catlover

Hi Jacq

9:37 am

street spirit

Oh Jacq, what a lovely icon

9:38 am

jacq

heya sally

9:38 am

Vicuna

Yes, Sally, c = cup. And you can always serve it to guests and make them worry about their behinds instead of you worrying about yours. =D

9:38 am

Vicuna

Hello, jacq.
Hello, street spirit.

9:38 am

hello street, ty starry night is one of my favourite paintings, this one, the scream and the persistence od memory are myall time best

DR1965

it looks like an easy and yummy recipe Vicuna

9:40 am

Vicuna

Yep, it is, DR. Apparently I'm trying to corrupt the morals of dieters everywhere.

9:40 am

Sally-catlover

Oh, I see my first husband's in the grid: to 6/18.

9:41 am

DR1965

I have been goingto the gym for the first time in my life so I can have alittle corruption. : )

It's nice to see that you're working through your hostility issues, Sally.

Sally-catlover

9:45 am

Haz1558

Sally, how did your non-to6/18 present husband manage when you were on holiday?

9:46 am

Vicuna

Maybe her present husband is also in the grid: luv

9:46 am

jacq

fireworks!!!!

9:47 am

Haz1558

Well done, jacq!

9:47 am

Sally-catlover

Very slowly. As he said, the snails passed us. Mostly in Venice we used the boats, and he tottered around as best he could. We don't "do" museums and such, but just soaked up the atmosphere etc.

9:47 am

Vicuna

Yay for jacq!

9:47 am

jacq

that final to4/4 was one i tried 5 times and i'm sure i spelled it the same way each time

9:48 am

Haz1558

I'm all for soaking up the atmosphere if the atmosphere is Venice and Florence.

9:48 am

Sally-catlover

And the ice cream, remember!

9:49 am

jacq

can i clue fr anyone?

9:49 am

Sally-catlover

It was a belated silver wedding holiday - we should have gone in April but he had a heart by-pass then. Not been a good year for him, health--wise.

9:49 am

Haz1558

Italian ice-cream - such a wonderful excuse to soak up the atmosphere. 'Let's have a rest and soak up the atmosphere and, oh look, we happen to have stopped beside a gelateria again.'

9:50 am

Sally-catlover

You were obviously in the same queue Haz!

9:50 am

Haz1558

Yes, indeed.

9:52 am

Vicuna

So, what's the excitement in Ballymena these days, Haz?

9:52 am

Haz1558

Would you believe that I was down town this morning and the bomb squad were there?

9:53 am

Vicuna

Uh oh. Nothing serious in the end, I trust. We don't actually want THAT kind of excitement.

9:53 am

Sally-catlover

The bomb squad? Where do you live Haz?

9:53 am

DR1965

sa7 if you are still here Jacq

9:53 am

Haz1558

Some sort of suspect device outside the courthouse, I think. I haven't heard any controlled explosions or anything so it's maybe been a hoax.

9:53 am

Haz1558

Ballymena, Northern Ireland, Sally.

9:54 am

Vicuna

Ugh. Hopefully some totally innocent mistake.

9:54 am

Sally-catlover

My current score is 100 words and 1000 points. I could continue in search of that holy grail; however, I feel there is a certain je ne sais quoi with regard to where I am now, so I'll bid adieu to this puzzle.

First word I find? Phantom....This probably says something about where I'll end up in today's grid.

No, you are not alone. I have found a lot of unfamiliar words, too.

3:29 pm

Wolvie

3:30 pm

Atalante

3:30 pm

Wolvie

Grady is a beauty boy. Way prettier than lassie

3:30 pm

Wolvie

I agree ata

3:30 pm

Wolvie

yes lynxx - he is an 80 pounder - lean too. unlike his mom

3:30 pm

suefrad625

very true ata, dixie just went from one couch to the other

3:31 pm

lynxxx

what do you mean by blows Wolvie...is that the same as moults?

3:31 pm

Atalante

sometimes you get lumbered with greyhound couch potatoes ;)

3:31 pm

Wolvie

unfortunately, his mom gained some weight over the last couple of years lol

3:31 pm

suefrad625

why cant I find the last se?

3:31 pm

suefrad625

it is only a 4/4

3:31 pm

Wolvie

yes lynxx - I call it blows, because when he does, it is a carpet

3:31 pm

lynxxx

it is a plural too Sue

3:32 pm

Wolvie

oh - is there a grid? lol

3:32 pm

Wolvie

the last se 4 that I have is se plus sun god

3:32 pm

Atalante

3:32 pm

Wolvie

ah. ty lynxx

3:33 pm

lynxxx

We used to babysit a Collie, she was the most beautifully natured animal. Her owner has never replaced her, I think he can;'t get over her

3:33 pm

Atalante

collies are incredible dogs

3:34 pm

suefrad625

I need the one after the 2 se7's

3:34 pm

Wolvie

they are very sweet tempered - that is for certain lynxx - he wouldn't hurt a fly - unless we weren't home - then he would bite a stranger

3:34 pm

Wolvie

it's funny - i would never have thought he was that protective of his turf, but - we found out he was.

3:35 pm

Wolvie

very loving and loyal tho

3:35 pm

Atalante

best friend has a border collie / heeler mix who is much more collie than heeler, and he is *incredibly* protective of his home

3:35 pm

Wolvie

just a big cuddly fur ball

3:36 pm

suefrad625

why are they scaring the crap out of people with this swine flue crap

3:36 pm

Wolvie

border collies are neat dogs - I would love to have one someday

3:36 pm

suefrad625

it just pisses me off

3:36 pm

lynxxx

I had been looking at the adoption site for about 6 months (knowing our 'designer' dog was nearing the end). Fell in love with Stew's picture. Got him without actually meeting him - despite what 'people' say that can be done - and as you know couldn't be happier

3:36 pm

suefrad625

the other flues are much worse

3:36 pm

Atalante

it sure can!

3:36 pm

Atalante

and you and him are just wonderful!

3:36 pm

Wolvie

very neat lynxx, and yes, you can do as you did - i did it with jazz

3:36 pm

Wolvie

well they have smoke sue. ;-0

3:37 pm

Wolvie

(sorry sorry)

3:37 pm

suefrad625

the kids come home scared of going to school

3:37 pm

Atalante

what designer dog did you have breed-wise?

3:37 pm

suefrad625

my son just got in and said the HS was going to cancel a football game due to 3 kids getting the flue

3:37 pm

suefrad625

flu

3:38 pm

suefrad625

can you imagine if they do that with every flu case?

3:38 pm

lynxxx

Sue - it's only because it very very contagious and can be deadly if you have other health issues

3:38 pm

Wolvie

well - safety is better than the alternative

3:38 pm

Atalante

and it affects healthy people

3:38 pm

Wolvie

but swine flu has been shown to be deadly to the young sue. I think it is a wise precaution

3:38 pm

suefrad625

that could happen with any flu lynx

3:38 pm

lynxxx

Bobby was a 50% ShiTzu/ 25% poodle & 25% Matese.

3:39 pm

suefrad625

every flu is bad, but I spoke to my doc how said it is not bad

3:39 pm

Wolvie

a bit different than other flu viruses i think

3:39 pm

Atalante

ooo! what a wonderful combination! was he a wonderful fluffball?

3:39 pm

Wolvie

what do they call those lynxx - bet he was a great doggie

3:39 pm

suefrad625

dixie is 50% Red Tick Hound and 50% Beagle, lazy barking dog.

3:40 pm

lynxxx

Sue, we had 4 deaths within a week of it hitting Australia ...and about a 1000 cases within a week. it spread much much faster than other flus

3:40 pm

suefrad625

shes great

3:40 pm

Wolvie

pretty neat combo sue

3:40 pm

suefrad625

then they should give flu shots at the schools

3:40 pm

suefrad625

instead of making people find modes of transportation

3:41 pm

Atalante

not enough vaccine to go round

3:41 pm

Wolvie

jazz was a mix so much we just called her heinz 57 - although she was a 65 pounder. VERY active

3:41 pm

suefrad625

I just really hate the Fear Factor that the media premotes

3:42 pm

lynxxx

Bob was a great little dog, your perfect pet especially with the kids. These bred to be cute dogs, like the one Andree is getting, really are lovely

3:42 pm

suefrad625

got to get Wesley, bbl to finish the last 5

3:42 pm

Wolvie

lynxx - did you designer doggie have a name as to type? My friends got a goldendoodle and couldn't be happier. Theo is a great dog

3:42 pm

Wolvie

bye sue

3:42 pm

lynxxx

I agree Sue, but it is actually responsible to make people aware of the dangers.

3:43 pm

Atalante

the poodle crosses are wondeful ptes

3:44 pm

Atalante

*pets

3:44 pm

lynxxx

Not in those days Wolvie, talking 16 years ago

3:44 pm

Wolvie

3:45 pm

lynxxx

goldendoodle? we call those labradoodles here - very very common. lovely dogs

3:45 pm

Atalante

goldendoodle = x golden retriever, labra = x labrador

3:46 pm

Wolvie

well here there are 2 types - golden retrievers and golden labs then crossed with poodles

3:46 pm

Wolvie

snap ata

3:47 pm

lynxxx

3:53 pm

Wolvie

3:58 pm

lynxxx

excuse me, I am just wandering through our greyhound site again, wondering if we could fit at least another greyhound into the house. Great site, you want to adopt every single dog

3:58 pm

Wolvie

i bet. I have often thought of greyhounds for adoption. If we get this home with some decent acreage, I just might go for it

3:59 pm

Atalante

loooooool. one more is a;ways better

3:59 pm

lynxxx

Doesn't need the acreage at all Wolvie, just to be fenced

4:00 pm

Wolvie

really? cool

4:01 pm

lynxxx

oooh you should see Ginny (race name Luna Lovegod!) she is absolutely gorgeous. You would have to change her name back though

5:15 pm

street spirit

I definitely felt lucky :)

5:16 pm

car.eeyore

If it was me...it was about the bothersome clues I ask for easy words!

5:16 pm

street spirit

Oh, he's Jesse. Might be better known as nancy boy? he's not the type to stay quietly in the background ;)

5:16 pm

car.eeyore

Yeah! Nancy Boy!

5:16 pm

Atalante

nancy! yay!

5:16 pm

Ah, yes, Nancy Boy! I know him!

5:18 pm

car.eeyore

I am not on a lot of the time when Nancy Boy is, but I do enjoy his chats and look forward to chatting with him when we do meet on the chog!

5:19 pm

street spirit

I'll nudge him into babbling more...he keeps tiring himself out. He works nights but can't stand to miss ANYTHING that might be going on during the day, lol

5:22 pm

Scrabbler

Tough schedule

5:24 pm

street spirit

I must say, scrabbler, it puts me to shame

5:24 pm

o-o

Are you grieving a bit, Scrabbler?

5:26 pm

babbz

hi folks - i have one word left for fireworks and it's the last se4,4. Can anyone please clue me? It's probably too easy but can't seem to figure it out. Thanks!

5:26 pm

o-o

se + *i*e and shine

5:27 pm

Scrabbler

A bit, for families/kids that I will miss, but not the office--toxic, dysfunctional, ready to implode

5:27 pm

babbz

oh like i said, duh??

5:27 pm

babbz

!Thanks Babble - firewords!

5:27 pm

Scrabbler

Congrats Babbz!

5:28 pm

o-o

congrats, babbz

5:28 pm

babbz

thanks - i rarely get a chance to finish a puzzle these days. Anyone need a clue?

5:30 pm

o-o

glad you had the chance, babbz

5:31 pm

babbz

I have a dilemma and maybe I could ask some advice. I need to drive my daughter and her 3 friends to a college open house about 6 hours away. One of the girls works until midnight tonight and one is cheering until about 10:30. The open house starts tomorrow morning at 7:45. Should I just stay up and drive straight thru????????????????????? I'm such a sucker for these girls, but this one will push me over the edge, because then afterwards they want to drive straight home - and even tho they can all drive, i could never relax knowing they are driving with no sleep either. What to do???

5:32 pm

JBV

hi, babbz, walked right into your question, not an easy one - any other parents willing to share the drive???

5:33 pm

Roses6

Hello babz. Sounds like you need another person (adult) to go along and sleep on the way, and drive you all back.

5:33 pm

Scrabbler

Quite the dilemma? Can you go another day with an earlier departure?

5:34 pm

babbz

That might be a good idea, but the other two parents are a little dysfunctional, which is why they asked me to drive in the first place

5:36 pm

JBV

still thinking... can they take a bus? professional driver at least

5:36 pm

babbz

Aaarrgh - I get myself into these little predicaments all the time. We have the go-to house where all the kids come, they tell me their life stories, they call me "mom" and I end up feeding about 12 people several days a week. There is usually at least one girl sleeping over every weekend and while I love the fact that they are comfortable with me, what the heck is wrong with the other parents??? This is my "whoops" child, I'm 57 years old and I think getting too old for all the teenage drama!!

5:37 pm

o-o

the two girls who are not cheering or working might sleep before leaving and the three of you drive down -- on the way back, a couple can nap in the car and spell the driver

5:37 pm

babbz

I'm a grandmother for heavens sake!

5:38 pm

babbz

Babble - good idea - I have no problem driving straight there - I can stay up, drive, go to the open house, but I really think I'll put my foot down and tell them we're going to have to stay overnight Sat. night

5:39 pm

JBV

that's nice, babbz - more time to get to know the college - where is it by the way?

5:39 pm

babbz

We're in Chicago area and we're visiting Southern Illinois University in Carbondale

5:40 pm

o-o

Ultimately, your way is the safe and best way, babbz

5:40 pm

JBV

I vote for staying over - tell the girls we at Babble have decided

5:41 pm

JBV

just remember, babbz, if she chooses this college, you'll be facing the same dilemma for 4 years!

5:41 pm

babbz

I think you're right. Better to be safe. Thanks for letting me sound you out, folks! I love lurking and reading all your comments; you are great!

5:42 pm

babbz

True, JBV - but there is a TRAIN thank God that goes right into Carbondale from Chicago, so a lot of the kids take the train. And she has her own car but I don't think they let them bring it freshman year.

5:42 pm

JBV

I have a niece who lives in Santa Fe, goes to school in Flagstaff, AZ- she takes the train

5:43 pm

babbz

That's a very nice feature - no one takes the train anymore. It's a great way to travel

5:43 pm

o-o

good luck, babbz .. be safe

5:44 pm

babbz

It seems a little safer than a greyhound bus - thanks all!!!

5:44 pm

JBV

I agree, the midnight greyhound not exactly an ideal milieu

thanks stid(-: That did it! Now I can return to being a sane human being. I heard a wonderful interview on NPR with Temple Grandin, the autistic woman who has written a new book called "Animals make us human" and she was saying that stereotypic behaviors, in any animal, are always a sign of distress or something really off kilter. Makes you wonder about us Babblers.

YAY EVA!!!! *breathing again*

7:35 pm

jmcnrick

in DC I was being called every year -- even for DC and odd for Federal

7:35 pm

crosshair

they pay you half the milage needed to get to the court and you lose a days work every day it lasts

7:35 pm

Eva

I'm honored that you would turn blue for me stid

7:35 pm

jmcnrick

whoo hoo eva

7:35 pm

stidmama

we read a temple grandin book in one of my classes last year. very interesting woman, interesting perspective.

7:36 pm

lbdawger

not sure what the pay is, but i'm sure it's at least minimal wage, and the distance is about a half mile from home.

7:36 pm

stidmama

Last time I was notified about jury duty I had a small panic attack and asked my doctor to write me a note. I was excused...

7:36 pm

jmcnrick

then I had a bad back in 2004 and they haven't called me since

7:36 pm

Eva

She is quite amazing. She also said that cats tend to be OCD, which certainly fits Merp to a tee.

7:36 pm

jmcnrick

I am sure it is not minimum wage!!!

7:37 pm

lbdawger

lol ocd cats! ya think?

7:37 pm

stidmama

the first time I was called for jury duty was more than a year after I had moved across state from the county that called me...

7:37 pm

jmcnrick

ocd cats seems redundant

7:37 pm

stidmama

OCD cats? I have an OCD dog! *throw the toy throw the toy throw the toy*

7:38 pm

crosshair

all cats are adhd imho

7:38 pm

lbdawger

actually, the first time i was called, i had just moved from Colorado to Montana. The judge excused me from serving

7:39 pm

Eva

I hated to admit it, but it seems pretty definitive that cats have no frontal cortex, while about 11 percent (I think) of a dogs brain is frontal cortex.

7:39 pm

lbdawger

i think dogs are more likely to be add and adhd.

7:39 pm

jmcnrick

if by frontal cortex you mean the part of the brainthat makes you dependant. . . .

7:39 pm

lbdawger

unless they are digging up my garden!

7:39 pm

stidmama

which is why dogs can anticipate things and cats always seem to live in the moment, I suppose?

7:40 pm

Eva

Yup. NO executive function. No planning.

7:40 pm

jmcnrick

cats can anticipate the piece of paper you need and sit on it

7:40 pm

lbdawger

hence the need for nine lives!

7:40 pm

stidmama

sounds like teenagers to me...

7:40 pm

lbdawger

lol, stid!

7:40 pm

jmcnrick

give me a cat any day

7:40 pm

stidmama

actually this Zull book I am reading pretty much nails it -- teens seem to lose executive function and then regain it later.

7:41 pm

Eva

That's true. I think that teenagers have frontal cortexes (cortices?) but I think the hormones knock it out for a while.

7:41 pm

lbdawger

you mean when the hormones kick in and everything else goes out the window?

7:41 pm

stidmama

yep. that's it, for sure!

7:41 pm

Eva

yes, sort of like menopause

7:42 pm

stidmama

and probably explains why they are so likely to get into car accidents...

7:42 pm

jmcnrick

certainly the brains go out the windows

7:42 pm

stidmama

that whole planning ahead, thinking one move beyond this one.

7:42 pm

stidmama

owch, Eva! LOL I am getting there already!

7:42 pm

Eva

Merp can, however, hear the sound of deli wrapping paper being unfolded when he is fast asleep in the second floor closet.

7:43 pm

stidmama

Merp is amazing!

7:43 pm

lbdawger

hmmm, wonder if there's a time release for the cortex to function again...and for some it never clicks back on.

7:43 pm

lbdawger

living for the moment of deli! smart cat

7:43 pm

stidmama

I wouldn't be surprised, LBD -- but with the brain so plastic and able to reprogram, I wonder why those functions don't seem to be readily compensated for?

7:44 pm

jmcnrick

I am happy to say that it appears that my son has clicked back in after several years of stupid boys tricks

7:44 pm

stidmama

Maybe that is why middle school is so challenging to teach... the students are just starting to experience the disruption of hormones, but haven't yet established coping mechanisms.

7:45 pm

stidmama

it's about time, jmc! LOL he's only... 30-ish?

7:45 pm

jmcnrick

23

7:45 pm

lbdawger

i wonder if hormonally speaking the brain may get over saturated and "forgets" to click on, or maybe it's the selelctive cueing of the human

7:46 pm

lbdawger

ahhh 23, not so bad then. could be worse, could be never

7:46 pm

stidmama

oh! sorry -- must be thinking about someone else's darling boy. :-D

7:46 pm

stidmama

he's not that much older than my kids then.

7:46 pm

lbdawger

I loved teaching middle school. they were so fun to laugh at!

7:46 pm

jmcnrick

:-)

7:46 pm

jmcnrick

a crucial amount older though stiddie

7:47 pm

lbdawger

stiddy, you could be thinking of my kid...33 next week! EEK!!

7:47 pm

stidmama

true enough -- you can go on extended vacations without yours! *dreaming of the day*

7:47 pm

jmcnrick

a real grown up lbd!

7:47 pm

stidmama

LOL maybe that's the one I was thinking of. And how is his growing family?

7:48 pm

Eva

speaking about being hormonally driven...time for a sexist joke (close your eyes if you find such things offensive): What's the difference between a man and a treasury bond?

7:48 pm

stidmama

oh -- a classmate of mine from last autumn -- who is much yonger than your son, jmc but not so much older than my elder kid... he's going to be a father in a few more months. I was flabbergasted. And gave my boys "the lecture" again.

7:48 pm

lbdawger

Grandson is a chatterbug, and we can actually understand 80% of what he's telling us. Colette is just cute.

7:48 pm

stidmama

hm. *wondering about the punch line*

7:49 pm

jmcnrick

gag!

7:49 pm

stidmama

wonderful, LBD! I love that stage!

7:49 pm

lbdawger

oooh i know, i know...

7:49 pm

Eva

......bonds mature

7:49 pm

jmcnrick

lol eva

7:49 pm

stidmama

*gasp* oh EVA! (that is just TOO FUNNY)...

7:49 pm

lbdawger

lol

7:50 pm

lbdawger

his preschool is teaching him spanish and english. of course he confuses both!

7:50 pm

stidmama

it looks like it might be getting cool again, LBD... just fair warning.

7:50 pm

Eva

stid why does your profile say that you are 10 years old?

7:51 pm

stidmama

I remember getting slightly confused when we were taught spanish in kindergarten and first grade. But it was immensely helpful in later years!

7:51 pm

jmcnrick

break for a while bbl

7:51 pm

lbdawger

i have mixed feelings aboout the weather change. I love it, but my roses need the warm weather!

7:51 pm

stidmama

um, because I want to confuse people? LOL I figured people can find my real name pretty readily if they want to, but I didn't want them knowing how old I am!

7:51 pm

stidmama

later jmc

7:52 pm

stidmama

I am old enough to remember a little bit of Watergate and the end of the Vietnam War, if that helps any,.

7:52 pm

stidmama

I also remember the landing on the moon.

7:52 pm

lbdawger

i have flickr pictures up, stid. that's my treasured rose garden

7:52 pm

stidmama

oooh! *zips off to look at posies*

7:52 pm

Eva

I covered my basil for tonight. But basically the growing season is over. The wood is stacked, I've used the stove a few times already. The foliage is changing really quickly this year and looks to be sepctacular.

7:53 pm

Eva

Well that makes sense. Why not keep some mystery.

7:53 pm

lbdawger

some trees have started to change, but the maples and alders are still holding on to their green

7:53 pm

Eva

I remember the advent of TV. OY!

7:53 pm

stidmama

they are GORGEOUS! peace roses?

7:54 pm

stidmama

I don't even have the filters for the furnace ready to go. I suppose I will need to do that tomorrow morning. Tom can vacuum the ductwork for me.

7:54 pm

stidmama

speaking of Tom, I think that may be him coming up the driveway...

7:54 pm

lbdawger

i'm not sure what kind they are. they came with the house. I have flora bundi that are starting to bud out again, and several smaller "peace roses" and some double blossoms

7:55 pm

stidmama

oh! and I just got my copy of Lauren Ulm's book "Vegan Yum Yum" (same title as her blog) very excited to try some of the recipes!

7:55 pm

lbdawger

my kennedy bloomed for the first time this spring. only one blossom tho

7:55 pm

stidmama

they are so pretty. mine didn't do much this year because I didn't have time to water them. they'll be fine though, and next year will do better.

7:56 pm

lbdawger

you'll have to let us know how they turn out stid.

7:56 pm

Eva

roses are very tempermental up here.

7:56 pm

stidmama

I will!

7:56 pm

lbdawger

i have one plant that has two different colors on it. one deep red and one texas yellow!

7:57 pm

lbdawger

i wonder if that's cuz your weather is so much wetter than it is here, Eva

7:57 pm

stidmama

so ladies, the topic of an NPR show on the local public radio station this week was whether girls should be "good" (polite, deferential) or "authentic" -- what do you think?

7:57 pm

stidmama

is that one grafted, LBD? sometimes the rootstock will cause the plant to revert...

7:58 pm

lbdawger

it's one of the older plants so it may very well have turned

7:59 pm

lbdawger

authentic, but that doesn't mean she has to be rude or aggressive.

7:59 pm

stidmama

speaking of which, we should go see if there are more harvestable apples and pears on the trees in the "orchard"

8:00 pm

lbdawger

other neighbor brought over two bushels of apples. i have to do something with them too!

8:00 pm

stidmama

apple salsa!!!!!

8:01 pm

lbdawger

i love the harvest of my neighbors' gardens.

8:01 pm

lbdawger

i'll have to work on that one, stid

8:01 pm

Eva

I don't think there's a right or wrong to that one stid - they have to survive, as did and do we, and depending on one's circumstances being authentic, at least outwardly, can be very difficult and even dangerous. And also, by the time we are not very old, we have learned to hide and cover up and "forget" so much of our core selves. It seems to practice of a lifetime to learn what being authentic truly means.

8:01 pm

stidmama

I am so sad, there is a little McCleary girl has been missing three months and they are only now getting search warrants to look on properties in the area. WHY does it take so long? *very sad mama look*

8:03 pm

lbdawger

good lord, what in the world are they dragging their feet for? they should have had warrants asap!

8:03 pm

stidmama

yes, that is pretty much what I was thinking -- no need to be false to one's core self but no need to be rude either. Still, we spend our lives trying to figure out who we really are. Took me 40+ years to decide I want to be a teacher. Told one of my classmates last weekend that I was in a career change: from mother to teacher!

8:03 pm

lbdawger

good points, Eva. We do train our daughters to be "good little girls" and allow our boys to be rambunctious

8:03 pm

stidmama

Her parents must be in awful shape... I would be. I just don't know what I would do in their situation.

8:04 pm

stidmama

not my boys! or at least... not all the time.

8:04 pm

Eva

well, very good chatting with all of you. Time for bed now. Be back tomorrow.

8:04 pm

stidmama

(((Eva))) sweet dreams! see you again soon!

8:04 pm

lbdawger

Stid, no you've always been a teacher, now you will have a piece of paper that says the state recognizes your skills and talent to be paid to be one.

8:04 pm

lbdawger

night night, Eva

8:04 pm

stidmama

LOL they were required to go outside for rambunctiousness, and to hold it in, indoors.

8:05 pm

stidmama

*big grin* thanks LBD!

8:05 pm

o-o

thanks, lbd, for the pictures ... the flowers are beautiful

8:05 pm

stidmama

hey BR! ((hugs)) I finished! and my last word wasn't a bit fishy!

8:06 pm

lbdawger

yw, BR. they are worth the trouble of covering them up during the colder nights

8:06 pm

lbdawger

brb, need to get some water.

8:06 pm

stidmama

bye LBD -- going to go shopping for a while.

8:06 pm

o-o

I am not quite sure what rambunctious entails ... I do know my dad did not hesitate to let me know what he did not like

8:07 pm

o-o

congrats, stid --- be safe

8:07 pm

stidmama

I think different parents have different definitions, BR. We had a small house with many sharp corners so were a bit less relaxed than we might have been. *more hugs*

8:07 pm

stidmama

see you-all tomorrow! *poof*

was a close thing. he was getting better, using his leg, so we sent him down to a different rehab to be grouped with other fawns, and then 2 weeks later he suddenly stopped using his leg :(

9:08 pm

jesdraggon

they ended up having to clean out an abscess that re-filled in between muscles in his shoulder, that we'd thought had been resolved. but much better that than tendon contraction or joint fusion!
