Hello, Haz and Soodlebum

5:30 am

Atalante

hi all :)

5:31 am

Haz1558

Good morning! Are you feeling better, Ata?

5:31 am

FMitch

and hello from me too :)

5:31 am

Atalante

getting there!

5:32 am

Soodle

Hi all from the Pb.

5:32 am

Haz1558

Oh good! People are arriving. I was beginning to think that there was a babble party and my invitation hadn't come.

5:32 am

o-o

Hello, Ata and FM

5:32 am

FMitch

lol Soodle

5:32 am

Haz1558

Heave yourself out of there, Soodle, an entrance like that gets you a pardon.

5:32 am

Eva

I'm here too. Just waking up enough to communicate

5:33 am

FMitch

How about a brunch party?

5:33 am

Haz1558

Hello to Eva as well.

5:33 am

Eva

will someone bring me a tray in bed-someone who doesn't mind getting the plague?

5:33 am

o-o

I have constructed a small columbarium in the penalty box awaiting my urn

5:34 am

o-o

Hello, Eva

5:34 am

Eva

hi Haz and BR

5:34 am

FMitch

Awe, are you unwell Eva?

5:34 am

Haz1558

That'll be Ata, she'll have the antibodies to fight off infection.

5:34 am

Atalante

not well enough to nurse yet. send FM

5:35 am

Eva

maybe a bowl of antibodies with cream sauce would be a good breakfast

5:35 am

Haz1558

No, it's gruel and antibodies or nothing.

5:35 am

Eva

just whatever creeping crud is making the rounds in Vermont...but its been hanging on for almost 3 weeks now.

5:35 am

FMitch

Heavens I shall rush about and get trays ready for Eva and Ata whilst stocking the PB.

5:36 am

Eva

thank you FM-just wear a mask and push the tray under the door

5:36 am

Haz1558

FM gets the award for Humanitarian Babbler of the day.

5:36 am

Eva

just got the last w!

5:37 am

Atalante

and I b;lame FM for the flu. I was fine till I saw her!!

5:37 am

Haz1558

But has FM had the flu? Or is she just a spreader, like Typhoid Mary?

5:37 am

Eva

I don't think this is the flu-as I haven't had a fever....just some random, evil virus

5:38 am

Atalante

we'll call her Typhoid FM

5:38 am

FMitch

I'll see to Merp too as I am sure he is hungry.
Excuse me - I didn't give you food poisening nor flu - look to your friend in Sunningdale for that!

5:38 am

Eva

Merp is fine. He likes it when his humans are housebound.

5:38 am

FMitch

I am happily germ free (touch wood).

5:39 am

Haz1558

Is the lady protesting too much?

5:39 am

Eva

But if you have any dead mice he'd be very pleased

5:39 am

FMitch

Darn, all out of dead mice right now *adds to shopping list*

5:40 am

Haz1558

Ata, how did you cope with Hobbit when you weren't well?

5:40 am

Haz1558

Did you have to fix up a treadmill or a trampoline?

5:40 am

Atalante

I made husband walk her at 6am every day before he went to work!!

5:41 am

Haz1558

I'm sure he was thrilled!

5:41 am

FMitch

I bet that was fun in the dark and all!

5:41 am

Atalante

when he saw that I couldn't actually walk across a room without clutching at the bannisters / walls etc, he saw the need ...

5:42 am

Eva

luckiy Merp doesn't believe in exercise

5:42 am

FMitch

Merp is a very sensible cat.

5:42 am

Atalante

actually, it's been ok. Hobbit hurt her leg last weekend anyway, so she's been on a programme of bed rest and not long walks - she just strained a muscle or something, wonderful limp that miraculously goes away when pheasants are seen

5:43 am

Haz1558

A convenient injury in that case.

5:43 am

Atalante

very!

5:44 am

FMitch

She didn't limp at all when I was trying to kidnap her last week :)

5:45 am

Haz1558

Goodness, what dastardly plot were you hatching, FM?

5:45 am

Atalante

she did a few hours later after being walked round virginia water!

5:45 am

FMitch

OH I bet! That is a good long walk.

5:45 am

Atalante

oh! I wrote up my blog about skydiving:
http://www.marquista.com/wb
log/

5:46 am

FMitch

ooooh - goes to look

5:49 am

Atalante

we didn't walk round the bit next to arched bridge, but stormed round the rest of the lake with Hobbit and friend's chow

5:49 am

Haz1558

Nicely described, Ata!

5:49 am

mrpresident

Une!!! NOOOOOO!!

5:50 am

Eva

??? mrp

5:50 am

Atalante

:)

5:50 am

Haz1558

It'll be tennis, Eva.

5:51 am

mrpresident

Nadal lost... Une and I will be in mourning for some time

5:51 am

Eva

my condolences

5:51 am

Eva

when did this happen?

5:52 am

FMitch

Lovely piece of writing Ata - really captures the feeling.

5:52 am

Haz1558

I thought it would have something to do with Nadal.

5:52 am

mrpresident

2 minutes ago eva

5:52 am

Atalante

ty :) thought you'd like to read

5:53 am

Haz1558

And I can't see an aberrant apostrophe anywhere, so very well done!

5:53 am

Eva

I won't tell my tennis buff friends

5:53 am

mrpresident

Nadal got trounced on... bludgeoned... clobbered... etc

5:53 am

Haz1558

I may need to go through it again just to make sure...

5:53 am

Eva

think I need to take a break to snooze some more. Later

5:53 am

Atalante

I do have standards :P

5:54 am

Haz1558

Bye, Eva, hope you feel better soon.

5:55 am

Atalante

bye eva, bye merp!

5:56 am

Atalante

phantom: axolotl

5:56 am

FMitch

Feel well soon Eva.

5:59 am

FMitch

Ata - that is n incredible pic of the moon in your blog.

6:00 am

FMitch

Time for me to poof and get on with other things. Happy Babbling!

6:00 am

Atalante

not bad just holding the camera!

6:00 am

Atalante

bye dear!

6:00 am

Haz1558

Toodle-oo, FM.

6:01 am

Atalante

is Ballymena full of mourning Boyzone fans, Haz? Or is that just down in Ireland itself?

6:02 am

Soodle

Dublin came to a standstill yesterday, Ata.

6:02 am

Haz1558

I haven't met any mourners, people in Dublin seem to have been very shocked - not surprising considering how young he was.

6:02 am

Haz1558

Was it the whole of Dublin, Soodle? Not just near the church?

6:03 am

Atalante

my uncle died of the same thing, at about stephen gately's age. very sad

6:03 am

Soodle

It was the whole surrounding area - traffic was chaos all day yesterday.

6:04 am

Soodle

I am by no means a Boyzone fan, but I thought the service was quite moving

6:05 am

Haz1558

I didn't see it, just a snippet on the news afterwards.

6:05 am

Atalante

and they didn't show the intimate details all over the tv. which was wonderful

6:05 am

Soodle

Sky News carried it for over 2 hours yesterday

6:05 am

Haz1558

Seriously? I'm surprised at that, Soodle.

6:06 am

Atalante

inside the church? I thought cameras weren't being allowed

6:07 am

Soodle

They were just filming from outside the church. It was a difficult job for the commentators - an awful lot of long silences. Then the cameras just panned to the crowds. Microphones transmitted the goings-on from the church.

6:09 am

Haz1558

Someone flew from Taiwan for one day to be there. I don't understand that kind of devotion.

6:09 am

Atalante

I don't like commentators that don't allow silences to be silent. sometimes talk isn't needed

6:09 am

Atalante

George would be very disappointed

6:10 am

Soodle

Can anybody clue me for the last 2 TE's please.

6:10 am

Haz1558

George knows that there are limits.

6:10 am

Haz1558

They are Indian tents with maximum number of vowels,

6:11 am

Haz1558

Sorry, minimum number of vowels.

6:11 am

Atalante

he's very understanding

6:12 am

Haz1558

Understanding and suave, what more could you want?

6:12 am

Soodle

Hax - its the 2 TE words following the golfers aids...

6:12 am

Atalante

that's what she's cluing

6:12 am

Haz1558

Yes, te plus a childish word for urinate(s).

6:13 am

Soodle

Ah!! Got it. Thank you. And who is George?

6:13 am

Atalante

George Clooney. Haz keeps him in a cupboard

6:13 am

Haz1558

George Clooney.

6:14 am

Haz1558

Don't say it like that, Ata, people will think that there's coercion involved.

6:14 am

Soodle

Oh my!! Is poor Mr Clooney still under the stairs? He must be getting cabin fever now.

6:14 am

Atalante

a very nice cupboard. a good few steps up from a kennel

6:14 am

Haz1558

There's a cupboard under the stairs, Soodle, where George likes to take refuge when he's feeling a bit overwhelmed with attention.

6:15 am

Haz1558

Poor man, he has crazed females after him all the time, not to mention the photographers.

6:15 am

Soodle

Haz, you are doing a marvelous job with him. But its you I feel sorry for, and so, I am offering the cupboard under my stairs if you would like some respite. Purely an altruistic offer!

6:16 am

Atalante

don't think Haz can't see past kind offers like that ........

6:16 am

Soodle

Ahem. To clarify. Thats George who is being invited to my 'under-the-stairs'

6:16 am

Haz1558

Well, I'll let him know of your offer. He's a bit shy so he might not say yes.

6:17 am

Haz1558

So you'd rather have George Clooney under your stairs than me? You do surprise me.

6:17 am

Soodle

Haz, you have a nice vet there in Ballymena! Poor George will have nobody if you go on your holliers. I'm thinking about poor George here!!

6:18 am

Atalante

does george often need a vet?

6:20 am

Haz1558

George being under the stairs is purely a humanitarian gesture on my part, I have no romantic designs on him at all, unlike some others I could mention, like that Scrabbler who thinks she's engaged to him. George and I share many a laugh over that one.

6:20 am

Atalante

shameless use of untruth for one who is a pillar of the disabled riding community!

6:20 am

Soodle

Haz - Just promise me one thing. Don't let the vet get at George with his gelding equipment...

6:21 am

Haz1558

The thought!

6:22 am

Soodle

Tears to the eyes.....

6:22 am

Atalante

or what he once threatened Spangle with ....

6:22 am

Haz1558

I know! But he didn't mean it, he does have his little jokes.

6:23 am

Atalante

lol I know. it's amusing to blackmail him with forever though!

6:25 am

Haz1558

I'm going to have to head to the kitchen to start on the next stage of lunch preparations.

6:26 am

Atalante

what's on the menu today?

6:26 am

herinfernallady

hi

6:27 am

Atalante

6:27 am

Haz1558

Tea and coffee. The end.

6:27 am

herinfernallady

6:28 am

Atalante

*sigh*

6:28 am

herinfernallady

I am so going to Hazes house for the pudding.

6:28 am

herinfernallady

I ate a whole medium pizza.

6:28 am

Atalante

that sounds as wonderful as usual!

6:29 am

Haz1558

Hello herin - I'm just heading into the kitchen, I'll save you a piece. (the pudding is biscuit crust, a layer of fresh raspberries in jelly, topped with whipped cream and melted marshmallows mixed.

6:29 am

herinfernallady

yummy.

6:30 am

herinfernallady

A medium pizza is 11inches

6:30 am

Haz1558

Anyway, I'd better skedaddle and get the rolls baked etc. Bye for now!

6:30 am

herinfernallady

Enjoy

6:34 am

herinfernallady

O I had a question. Does anyone know what is the best brand of cat claw clippers to buy

6:35 am

Atalante

I always buy Mikka products for cats and dogs, dunno if you can get them in Aus though

6:36 am

herinfernallady

Thanks Let me have a look. Is that the slide style clippers?

6:37 am

Atalante

Mikki / mikka, one or the other, can't remember

6:38 am

Atalante

um. dunno ... they are just whatever type I could get! but they work well :D

6:38 am

herinfernallady

Lucius got me on the face under the eye tonight so i am not amused. Faint paper cut scratch too close to my eye for my liking

6:39 am

Atalante

toenail clippers work just as well though really, as long as the cat will stay vaguely still

6:40 am

herinfernallady

Yes that is the type I would like the Nail Clipper Guillotine style as they kitties wriggle

6:41 am

Atalante

nail clippers + kitty in a towel

6:41 am

herinfernallady

Nail Clippers + B.f = Win

6:41 am

Atalante

yep!

6:42 am

herinfernallady

Excuse me brb need to fill a water bowl

6:42 am

Atalante

and if you do cut too near the quick and it starts too bleed, just cover it in bicarbonate of soda to stop the bleeding

6:46 am

herinfernallady

thank youI will do that

6:47 am

herinfernallady

bfs parents used to bred poodles so I think he knows how to trim the claws but I will definatly tell him that one

6:47 am

herinfernallady

plus they don't carry on like you are trying to kill them

6:48 am

Atalante

Sily's actually remearkably good at having her nails trimmed. she just gives me the glare of doom adn suffers it

6:48 am

herinfernallady

awww

6:49 am

herinfernallady

OH they are actually banning Golliwogs from Noddy

6:49 am

Atalante

wow .....

6:50 am

herinfernallady

new Noddy book has no Golliwogs as it would be deemed racist

6:51 am

herinfernallady

I know that they renamed the Far Away tree characters

6:51 am

Atalante

surprised they havent got rid of Big Ears too

6:52 am

herinfernallady

Its so silly

6:53 am

Atalante

it really is

6:55 am

herinfernallady

awwww boy just walked in and kitty promptly owned his lap.

6:55 am

Atalante

awww. I should go back to bed and Sily will do the same to me

6:55 am

herinfernallady

What time is it for you nap time?

6:56 am

Atalante

6:56 am

herinfernallady

6:57 am

Atalante

6:58 am

herinfernallady

7:08 am

FMitch

FMitch

7:11 am

FMitch

7:12 am

FMitch

Am going to dive into the grid now - so stand back :)

7:12 am

herinfernallady

IT is the 24th. Thank you

7:13 am

Merk

Me, too. I've been rubbernecking. What a grid this is!

7:14 am

FMitch

Oh dear is it not a good one Merk?

7:14 am

hurshy

it's a great one

7:14 am

Dorens

just back with coffee. yes, fm. some amusing names, sometimes wonder how people come up with them

7:14 am

herinfernallady

Howdy Hurshy and Merk

7:15 am

Dorens

hi merk and hursh

7:15 am

hurshy

hi all

7:15 am

FMitch

Hey hurshy!
Long time no see, how was your UK holiday?

7:16 am

hurshy

*lovely*

7:16 am

Dorens

oh hursh, have you been recently? nice

7:17 am

hurshy

yes, my husband planned a surprise trip to cornwall for our tenth anniversary

7:18 am

Dorens

oh how incredible... a surprise.. lucky you

7:18 am

FMitch

I hope you saw the best of the country and the weather!

7:19 am

hurshy

i think we did, fmitch :) but then, i like british weather.

7:20 am

Merk

Yea, the grid is fine. I just need coffee first. It is very original.

7:21 am

Merk

The farther I get into it, the more I love it.

7:22 am

Dorens

is that original as in: lots of words you've never seen before?

7:22 am

FMitch

OK am going to start the grid so TTFN

7:23 am

hurshy

one pass through and i've 9 to go.

7:25 am

Merk

No, with the location of the x primarily. Ordinarily I don't get so many words from it; also lots of compound words.

7:25 am

hurshy

i can't find the third row E, though

7:26 am

Dorens

compound words always do make it interesting.

7:26 am

herinfernallady

I have to go to bed but I also ate too much piza

7:26 am

Dorens

third row ex sounds like a brand name

7:27 am

hurshy

i keep thinking exlax :)

7:28 am

Dorens

i didn't tell you what it's a brand name because that might be too much of a clue , but if you'd like me to i will

7:28 am

hurshy

ooh i got it!

7:28 am

Dorens

atta girl!

7:29 am

hurshy

the right-hand A is also giving me troubles. i think there must be some compound word there i'm not seeing.

7:29 am

Dorens

i only have two from there, and i'm sure you have those

7:30 am

hurshy

i have a third, which is a thing in the brain

7:30 am

Dorens

actually that is one of my two

7:30 am

herinfernallady

night all

7:30 am

hurshy

hehe

7:31 am

The Washington Post has a similar ad campaign "if you don't get it, you don't get it"

7:42 am

Yep, Dorens. We all will get older, if we live that long.

my dad always said, no matter what ailments he dealt with, that he preferred it to the alternative

Many simply want someone to care they are alive.

7:48 am

Dorens

babrab, was just checking my email and i have one from rudy (it's been a while). as usual, he is very witty, and says absolutely nothing about his condition.

7:51 am

Dorens

yes, br, I agree that loneliness is a major issue. have you looked into the community living situations going on in various parts of the country? make a lot of sense

7:51 am

I am happy for you that he wrote.

How is your ankle doing, Dorens?

8:04 am

Dorens

better thanks.. the doc says after this weekend i'm down to one crutch, and then a cane. (in the house i hobble on one crutch, or limp for short distances). once in a while it hurts, but not bad. think i'll be ok!

8:05 am

Progress is great.

opening chat.. Happy Sunday, Babblers! Hi BabbleRabble, Dorens, specificity.. glad your ankle is getting better, Dorens (-:

8:07 am

Dorens

hi aloy (and you're in the grid today)

8:08 am

Pax, Aloyisius

Aloyisius

I noticed that, Dorens, (-:

8:09 am

Aloyisius

BR, thought of you when I heard about the white stuff in ND.. did you get a lot?

8:09 am

o-o

Not much .. probably will get more

8:10 am

Aloyisius

do you have all the "stuff", like snow blowers and rock salt, etc?

8:11 am

o-o

Did not take long for the cold to undress the trees

8:11 am

Aloyisius

waiting for the rest of the leaves to fall here so I can get them mulched

8:13 am

Aloyisius

very cool word, au6: "a soothsayer of ancient Rome".. wow

8:15 am

o-o

Winter has its challenges, SAD among them. Some of my fondest memories include walking home from the library at 11 at night in a full moon with the quiet only interrupted by the crunching of my feet.

8:16 am

Aloyisius

nice memory.. snow crunches when it is very cold out.. my fond memories include xc skiing under a full moon

8:19 am

Read-Knit-Bake

BR.. Your memory is wonderful..sounds like me. I love shoveling just after it snows at night when it so quiet and the snow glistens in the moonlight. It is very peaceful.

8:20 am

Aloyisius

other than light therapy, is there a treatment for SAD?

8:21 am

o-o

Yes, R-K-B ... thinking back has gotten me smiling.

8:22 am

Aloyisius

but hard to get going when you feel so down

8:25 am

Read-Knit-Bake

BR: My mother taught me the value of doing things the old fashioned way; housecleaning, hanging laundry, shoveling instead of using machinery to do everything. She is very spry at 82. i do not hang laundry, but do most chores by hand. All good exercise.

8:30 am

Aloyisius

ho4.9 at the moon, put some music on, grab the shovel, enjoy the beauty of the flakes, hot cocoa, bundle up.. am getting in the winter mode (-:

8:31 am

Read-Knit-Bake

I do feel for those that are limited by illnesses or other circumstances - i am talking about those that can and chose not to. Aloyisius...I've been there too - so don't think I am on a soapbox here. Even though the winter memories are nice - the sun and no snow is better! :)

8:33 am

Read-Knit-Bake

does anyone have the 8 word yet?

8:33 am

Aloyisius

you have a wise mom, RKB.. I love to hang laundry but not when it is too cold out! Thinking back on the winters of '77-78, ugh.. I think xc skiing saved my sanity, so I'm glad I was younger then

Hello again, JBV! It was great to meet you in person last night. You are adorable! We played SuperScrabble until 12:30 am--nrkii + Doren beat me, my sister + Owl with an exciting + pummeling comeback involving XU on a triple word tile. Ouch, it hurt.

Yes, we had a great evening, topped off by a game of SuperScrabble with a great comeback by nrk + Doren vs me, Owl + my sister

10:29 am

Minveryork

No sun here in NY. It is raining so it is a good day to just stay inside and babble in bed, like I'm doing now.

10:29 am

CiociaJudy

great idea Min! Do you have some cabana boys to bring you food and drink?

10:29 am

Queenruejean

Nrkii, thanks for sharing your pictures. Glad you all had a great time. I've been away from Babble for quite some time. But will probably be stopping by a little more often again & will see you all here.

Dorens

10:53 am

Scrabbler

I had planned to leave my sister's, for the drive home, at 10 am, I awoke at 10:20 am, and am still not showered or dressed.

10:53 am

Dorens

understandable.. that was a late night for us as well as the yankees

10:53 am

nrkii

Scrabs, it's that kind of a day

10:53 am

Dorens

wow nrk, i don't know how.. not with that cake and the chocolates. i don't dare weigh myself these days.. the lack of exercise has sure taken its toll

10:55 am

Scrabbler

We listened to the Yankees game on the drive home and my sister went crazy while I was trying to drive in the rain, in the dark, and not hit a deer

10:55 am

nrkii

I went crazy too scrabs, but I was safely on the highway by then

10:55 am

Scrabbler

No, I am not a diabetic, but I get hypoglycemic easily and can then faint. It also will precipitate a migraine.

10:55 am

nrkii

Dorens, sometimes my body likes it when I overeat... it rewards me by dropping weight... but only if I limit that to about one day a week

10:56 am

Dorens

scrabs the mums are going on the front porch today, thanks.. (they are in one of nrkii's pictures)

10:56 am

rururocks

12:50 pm

Soodle

Thank you Sammy - I hope she enjoys it. Ata - as a bog-dweller, I am sure I can help you with your assignment.... So, fire away if you have any questions. Not all your classmates will have help fromthe horses mouthÂ£Â£Â£

12:55 pm

sammysmom

jacq- after checking out you icon- it reminded me of the song - starry starry night- googled it yeaterday and found a 4 minute thing of the song with vincent's paintings- it was wonderful!!

12:55 pm

Atalante

these are particularly odd ones!

12:56 pm

jacq

it's one of my favourite paintings, this and "the persistance of memory" (sp?)

12:56 pm

Soodle

That was the first record (!!) I ever bought - Don McClean singing Vincent,

12:56 pm

jacq

and i always have that song in my head when i see my own icon lol

12:56 pm

sammysmom

jacq- also sent a note to my sister- who has 3 maine coon cats named vinvent-theodore- and madeline- she loved it too

12:57 pm

jacq

i had a friend who had a cat called cat and a dog called dog, she was a hippy and a bit spacey and she felt that it was unfair of her to give them a name they might hate, i just remembered her just now lol

12:57 pm

Soodle

And the B side to that record was a totally random, very tongue in cheek song called 'Put the Bone In', which went straight over my head back in the day

12:58 pm

jacq

lol

12:58 pm

jacq

very risque

12:58 pm

A lot of things I do not know here ... used to be divulging two letters was the norm for a clue. Now it is two letters and another two from another word ... four letters ... and if you have the word in your list ... you do not even have to look at the grid to get the second word.

2:11 pm

2:40 pm

yeah, like in the Princess Bride, when Peter Falk says "In my day, television was called books," we didn't even have computers when we were their age... just tell them to use paper and a pencil and a slide rule...

2:40 pm

Ok. I submit! Gotta go. Happy Babbling everybody. See y'all soon

3:59 pm

jmcnrick

you should let people know when you finish so they can celebrate with you!

4:00 pm

jmcnrick

I think the encouragement is my favorite part

4:00 pm

tceicher

I only allow myself to use the clues with "expert" after I have 75% of the words done. My own rule so I don't make it too easy

4:00 pm

jmcnrick

is the 8 a compound word?

4:01 pm

hego

yes

4:01 pm

jmcnrick

my rule is that I can use the list if I make 1/2 way -- but I have been known to make exceptions when the grid is especially large or tough

4:01 pm

jmcnrick

ty hego

4:01 pm

Minveryork

Minveryork

My rule is to not use list until I am half way finished.I then go through list and fill in 4 & 5 letter words I've missed and then I go to the chat log to look for clues.

4:03 pm

mo

ey8 ... is a plural.

4:03 pm

Minveryork

An ey8/55 is seeing organ plus sp5/12 word Michnick

baby4

5:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

zucchini pie... i would have cooked for the party, it's veggie but not vegan.

5:38 pm

Dorens

seven year olds are unlikely to be here.. agreeing with jmc

5:38 pm

jmcnrick

hmmm

5:38 pm

Minveryork

Actually, they probably didn't exist when I was 7 too.

5:38 pm

jmcnrick

how many words have you found baby4

5:38 pm

Dorens

i'd love zucchini pie... but nothing would beat that cake!!!! salivating, just thinking of it

5:38 pm

baby4

how many months old is my baby sister? guess

5:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

another time!

5:39 pm

baby4

i just remembered a few words my mom found ;)

5:39 pm

jmcnrick

5:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

5:39 pm

Minveryork

Where are your parents since you're with babysitter

5:40 pm

Dorens

we always went to butterflake.. never knew about this cake though...

5:40 pm

Minveryork

Is your mother a regular babbler?Maybe we know her

5:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

no je, it's a very light sort of bread thing loaded with zucchini onions and parmesan

5:40 pm

Dorens

seven year olds "randomly create"???

5:40 pm

baby4

Ppl, have you heard about an online game called GO(Galaxy Online)?

5:40 pm

Dorens

baby4 i think you might be in the wrong chatroom

5:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

5:41 pm

Minveryork

5:41 pm

baby4

Whadda ya mean?!

jmcnrick

5:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

howver, i did not go ask for any, i really do not need any mor cake

5:41 pm

baby4

Go is a very boring game...

5:41 pm

Dorens

it couldn't be better than beesting

5:42 pm

gortmold

i have a 7 year old; she can't speed type or follow an online conversation (of course, she could be thicker than some, but i don't think so)

5:42 pm

baby4

...it is a very strange game where you make resources...

5:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

very tasty and easy, however i use baking mix in it, the only questionable ingedient. can one buy an all natural mix? i use bisquick light. doren: to me it is, it's butter pecan cake

5:43 pm

baby4

...you also build ships (you design)...

5:44 pm

baby4

..and even send them to other star systems besides your 'Home'.

5:44 pm

Minveryork

Just went to galaxy online page. It looks like a game for ten year olds. Doesn't look boring for kids baby4.

5:44 pm

gortmold

locquacious, yet i've also never heard her use words like "design" and "resources"

5:44 pm

Minveryork

Hi gortmold! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

5:44 pm

baby4

Well, lemme tell ya, it's boring!

5:44 pm

baby4

But it has chat like this...

5:45 pm

Dorens

baby we are all older women, we love this game which is a word game, and if you'd like to play this game, welcome. very few children like this; that is what I meant. there are probably better chat places for you.

5:45 pm

jmcnrick

even I have my doubts and I believe everyone

5:45 pm

baby4

...and 5 different channels! But for different purposes.

5:46 pm

gortmold

hey min, thanks! how u doin?

5:46 pm

Minveryork

You could chat on Galaxy On with kids your own age.

5:46 pm

baby4

I know...

5:46 pm

baby4

...but they don't like me!

5:47 pm

Minveryork

9:49 pm

Nef

9:50 pm

Nef

Aw, Pini, I don't know. Our new TV is hooked up and on, but Aunt Jean still came over and helped me finish the grid tonight. ;-)

9:52 pm

Pinikula

didn't say they stopped, nef...just seem to be less likely to be in the "leave it to beaver" world where the kids go out to play after breakfast until mom called 'em in for dinner...and they came back alive! :)

9:52 pm

crosshair

indeed,pini,we end up half the time at different corners of the house each totally involved with our own personal toy

9:54 pm

Nef

Unfortunately, Pini, I think that world where kids could be out all day (Unattended by adults!) is long gone.

9:54 pm

crosshair

long,long gone

9:55 pm

crosshair

lol we used to go out as kids after breakfast and our parents wouldnt see us till the sun was going down and it got too dark to play outside
