I'm always glad of Lickety's lists because I'm often missing around dusk - I feed all the meat-eating birds and then I have two cats to look after

3:15 am

lynxxx

where do you live Catie?

3:16 am

Catie

nsw, south of wollongong

3:21 am

Catie

Lynxxx, I was just looking at your profile and saw your recipe - do you have a source for cranberries that are not full of sugar?

3:24 am

lynxxx

Not really Catie...from memory I just sorted through a box of mixed frozen berries I had. Went heavy on the figs though

3:25 am

Catie

cranberries are supposed to be tart - i just don't understand why they add sugar - same with apricot nectar (already sweet - why add sugar?)

3:30 am

lynxxx

They don't sell just frozen ones? seems strange if they don't

3:31 am

Catie

haven't found any without sugar - perhaps my problem is that i like tart things and the majority of the purchasing pub

3:32 am

Catie

damn, got halfway through that, lol. Majority of the purchasing public prefer sweet things

3:33 am

Catie

brb, the lord and master needs to be fed

3:59 am

note for Ata...Cranberries are grown in bogs

Sprite!!!!! how wonderful to see you again! How are you? improving?

4:35 am

sprite

slowly going in the right direction, lyn :) And very much enjoying my new computer, so I can get back in touch with my babble friends.
How've you been?

4:38 am

lynxxx

I have been well. Nothing much happens with me now which is why I love retirement! Did they manage to find out what was happening with you?

4:39 am

sprite

healthwise or computerwise?

4:39 am

lynxxx

healthwise

4:40 am

lynxxx

your legs weren't obeyng you very well last I heard

4:41 am

sprite

they found my liver is slightly hurt by the medication, but nothing to worry about.
The x-rays for my legs and back were inconclusive and I have an appointment with a neurologist in november. Still no feeling in my feet, but walking is a little bit better now that I rest more often.

4:42 am

sprite

thanks for asking :)

4:43 am

lynxxx

No thanks required - I have been thinking of you often. How is the family & Terra?

4:44 am

sprite

family is doing very well, especially the kids. Hubby is a bit stressed at work and has too many gout spells.
And Terra is brilliant. So lovable and funny and sweet. He holds his food perfectly now. And we believe he is doing much better with his hips.

4:45 am

sprite

how's steward and how's your love?

4:47 am

He's following through with specialists

4:50 am

sprite

I really hope they can help him.

4:50 am

lynxxx

TY I am sure it will be OK

4:51 am

sprite

it is very tiring when one cannot see proper and/or is bothered by an eye.

4:53 am

lynxxx

Compared to some it is a minor inconvenience. And helps him maintain the Grumpy Old Man disposition

4:53 am

Sprite, is that Terra?

5:06 am

Scrabs: no, just a random KCC. I cannot yet access my own pictures on the old laptop.

5:07 am

Very cute.

so far I am finding this a very sweet grid, but I still need the last 1/3.

I am still waking up and not caffeinated

in that case I will keep it myself, lol

5:18 am

Scrabs, can I ask you a doctor thing?

5:19 am

Of course

er5.12 girls name and a heath

5:21 am

sprite

my sister's blood was tested for a mega load of viruses etc. She had had Lime and some other things and still wasn't ok. But then she had to be retested because there was a ' vague HIV sign', according to the doctor that was probably because they tested for so many things. They said it was probably a ' valse positive'. Is that possible?

5:21 am

sprite

er5: small purple flowers

5:21 am

lynxxx

er5.12 standing up straight

5:21 am

Scrabbler

TY for E's! I always miss the girl's name

5:22 am

sprite

lol lyn beat me to it

5:22 am

Scrabbler

That should be followed up with further HIV tests--there are different types, to ensure she is truly negative rather than calling it false positive

5:23 am

lynxxx

just wanted to keep it 'nice' Sprite, know what you would do with that second one

5:23 am

sprite

yes she was retested immediately, we are waiting for the results right now. But is that 'common' with such tests, that something pops up that isn't in?

5:23 am

sprite

*giggles* Lyn, you know me too well!

5:23 am

Scrabbler

Parvovirus B19, CMV, EBV, thyroid function--I assume she was tested for these. Also--vitamin D deficiency! read www.vitamindcouncil.org.

5:24 am

sprite

yes, all of those! Ok, thanks. She is not in any risk group, but you know how it goes with words like HIV, one gets stressed right away.

5:25 am

Scrabbler

Some results can be just outside the normal range but HIV must be followed up.

5:26 am

sprite

vit D... I will ask her that. We get that out of fats and sunlight, right? She is pretty thin and has a skin affliction. Not sure what the name is in english. Vitiligo?

5:35 am

sprite

that article is amazing, Scrabs

5:35 am

lynxxx

same in English Sprite. Michael Jackson supposedly had that I think

5:36 am

sprite

it runs in our family. My granddad was pure white at the end of his life, hair and skin and all. My sis has it pretty bad too.I only have mini spots so far.

5:37 am

sprite

no idea if it prevents vit D production in the skin though. Will google.

5:37 am

Scrabbler

Vitiligo is not related to Vit D deficiency. Yes, Sprite, that site is chock full of vital info--tell everyone about it. Vit D deficiency is vastly underdiagnosed and is likely very common.

5:39 am

lynxxx

Wow...not sure of the recommendations for the Vit D. Melanoma sufferer here. We are well on the way to banning sunbeds here due to death as a direct result

5:39 am

sprite

wow, a whole load of articles about how vit D might help cure vitiligo. But indeed, vitiligo isn't said to be a cause of vit D deficiency

5:40 am

sprite

was wondering the same thing, lyn.
And Scrabs: are there side effects to too much vit D?

5:43 am

Scrabbler

Excess vit D can be toxic but due to lack of sun in further latitudes and to use of sunscreen = deficiency

5:43 am

Scrabbler

Vit D won't cause melanoma

5:44 am

crosshair

good morning everyone;)

5:45 am

Trifioso

good morning crossy, scrabbler, sprite, lynxxx, and all my babble friends!

5:45 am

lynxxx

hi Cross

5:45 am

lynxxx

and Trif!

5:46 am

sprite

no but lots of sun exposure might, right?

I just read that with up to 5000 IU, one needn't worry about toxic levels. Some people even might need more!

5:46 am

sprite

heya crossy and Trif :D

5:47 am

lynxxx

and sunbeds (ie tanning) too!

5:47 am

Scrabbler

Hello Trif & Crossy

5:47 am

Scrabbler

I take 5000 IU/day of Vitamin D3

5:48 am

sprite

so maybe pills would be better. I see depression and neuromuscular disorders are listed too... I might benefit from vit D3 myself.
Does it make you feel better, Scrabs?

5:48 am

crosshair

reading back,i have had 2 leisions carved out of my belly so far,i shake my heads at people who lay on the beach and roast or them damn sunbeds;/ sprite,hope you sis test comes back good;)

5:49 am

Scrabbler

Crossy, Billy (seminoma) is near death at this time--very bad shape. Latest round of chemo wiped him out--pneumonia, kidney failure. we are holding out hope for recovery.

5:50 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Sprite take vit D3--cholecalciferol. Vit D panels (blood tests) are available and more docs are learning about the vital role of vit D in health.

5:50 am

crosshair

:( i am very sorry to hear that scrabbs,as you know seminoma was one of my cancers.i will pray for billy and send my best withes to him and family.was it diagnosed to late?you probably told me but my short term memory is crap

5:51 am

Scrabbler

I have tested kids who are tired, achy, weak--all deficient and all improve with treatment.

5:52 am

Scrabbler

At diagnosis he had a basketball sized tumor in abdomen pressing on a kidney. He is cognitively impaired so I believe that delayed his recognition of symptoms or his ability to describe what he felt.

5:52 am

crosshair

ahh ok

5:53 am

Vit D can also fight/prevent cancer.

damn cancer!ive traced back my family line on the male side as far as i can and every single one has died of cancer.the only reason i am here is medical advances since 1970

5:58 am

herinfernallady

Scrabbler a long time ago I was thought to have a D3 deficiency. I got told a bit off sun light would be good.

5:58 am

mrpresident

frustration rules

5:58 am

mrpresident

hi infern :)

5:58 am

sprite

I saw that, Scrabs. Very interesting indeed!

6:01 am

crosshair

silly question scrabbs.can thaimine be taken as a suppliment?(i know little about vitamin pills

6:01 am

mrpresident

luke decided that the rules apply when he decides, but when it suits him, they are not rule-worthy and therefore can be changed, except when he needs the rules to apply

6:02 am

Scrabbler

Thiamine = a B vitamin. I take a "super vitamin B complex" tablet daily.

6:02 am

mrpresident

sounds like a typical 10 year old boy to me :)

6:02 am

crosshair

k..a b vitamin will remember that

6:02 am

herinfernallady

MR Pres Time out works

6:02 am

Scrabbler

That sounds like most children, mrp, and some adults, especially politicians

6:03 am

herinfernallady

Or as my dad used to say you are never too old for a back hand

6:03 am

mrpresident

infern, time out works for most, but not this one... he has by-passed time out and made it 'time to piss you all off'

6:04 am

herinfernallady

Maybe he needs a bit of a quite time in his cave where he can think about it

6:05 am

mrpresident

he loves his bat cave!!

6:05 am

sprite

lock the door ;)

6:05 am

mrpresident

we are not allowed to back-hand anymore

6:07 am

crosshair

nope not here either,lol once when bradly was ,id guess in about grade 3,he told the teacher he was sad cause i beat him(i gave him a tap on the bum to get him going ) well! i had the cops and the childrens aid waiting for me at pick up time! lol will never forget that

6:07 am

sprite

ouch! That is taking it a bit too far, isn't it?

6:08 am

mrpresident

the kids have been educated in school to abuse by parents. They are told we can't physically hurt them (ie, back-hand) or lock them in their room (imprisonment) or stop them from doing what they want (child abuse - unspecific).
I am just shocked by what we have to deal with.
All my friends with pre-teen kids are suffering so much... I wish I had the time/energy to tell you the problems they have

6:10 am

herinfernallady

I remember as a kid it was wooden spoon, kettle cord or back hand. I was the kid that got the back hand when I was very naughty. the grounding of my life was 1 month grounding, no tv no friends and well no nothing as I was very rude to my Gran ( I think I was being a surly teen)

6:11 am

sprite

I feel lucky with my children. Occasionally I'd love to paste them behind the wallpaper, but usually they are sweet or at least reachable.

6:11 am

6:15 am

mrpresident

lynx, I got a call from a friend's daughter. She asked me to pass a message to her mother (they are estranged)

My friend traveled to Cap Tourmente, Quebec this past weekend to see the snow geese gather before heading south. Ii am anxious to see her pictures. We had been there two summers ago during the summer and tried to envision the process.

what dc said

9:44 am

jmcnrick

you can drink it -- and i probably would drink the blood orange cocktail

9:44 am

jmcnrick

sounds good

9:44 am

Atalante

it does whether its a martini or not!

9:46 am

dcseain

i've had lovely orange martinis, and chocolate things called by that name too.

9:46 am

kje

the chocolate ones are too sweet

9:47 am

kje

i like mine drier, but must tell them that on those fruity cocktails

9:47 am

dcseain

yes, drier is nicer

9:48 am

kje

I guess appetizers can't be called prebites?

9:49 am

dcseain

forebit is the archaic term for appetizers

9:49 am

kje

oooo - like that one too

9:50 am

dcseain

rarebit comes after - derived from rearbit

9:50 am

kje

very cool

9:51 am

kje

I think I will open a restaurant and the menu headings will be forebit, bit, and rearbit

9:52 am

Atalante

yeah, the bit that ends up on your rear

9:53 am

jmcnrick

i may never eat rare butt again

9:53 am

kje

OK, must run... lovely chatting with you all... and learned some new words from DC to boot - adios

EvaNadine

9:59 am

dcseain

very nice, EvaN :)

9:59 am

Atalante

Try refreshing, Erda, Lickety announced a false dawn this morning but gave a real version later on.

10:21 am

I have todays clues on lickety!

10:21 am

Atalante

Haz! La Glitterata!

10:21 am

Haz1558

Hello!

Haz1558

I'm just taking a look to see what's what and who's who.

10:23 am

Norma

Hi everyone

10:23 am

Atalante

I saw France early today :)

10:23 am

EvaNadine

ahh, gotta love meetings where they let you know that you will be locked in the freezer yet again. :/

10:24 am

Haz1558

No fog in the Channel today?

10:25 am

Atalante

not a millimetre

10:25 am

Atalante

it was *so* clear

10:26 am

Haz1558

Do you think there were any Frenchwomen with poodles declaring 'I can see England'?

10:26 am

Atalante

I would zink zo

10:26 am

EvaNadine

"i see london"
"i see france"
next thing you know, well be talking about underpants...

10:26 am

Haz1558

Alors.

10:27 am

Atalante

Zut alors!

10:27 am

Atalante

There's always something very odd about being able to look over to another country

10:27 am

Haz1558

Does seeing Scotland count?

10:27 am

Atalante

sometimes I can see Essex too. That's definitely another country

10:27 am

Atalante

defintiely!

10:28 am

Haz1558

Such a pity FM isn't around to see you competing for her typo crown.

10:29 am

Atalante

I've decided that while I have flu, I can't hold myself up to my normal standrasd

10:29 am

EvaNadine

when has Ata ever been held to a "normal" standard?

10:30 am

Haz1558

We'll know you're better when the typing returns to normal. Or mornal if you prefer.

10:30 am

Atalante

bet Grandfather Albert couldn't type either

10:31 am

Haz1558

Probably not. He had more pressing matters on his mind.

10:32 am

Atalante

as do I *nods wisely*

10:33 am

Haz1558

(wondering when bogs will drop into the conversation)

10:33 am

Atalante

oh! you're so lucky. I have a week's extension because of still dying from flu. So you'll all get another week of them!

10:34 am

Haz1558

That's such good news.

10:34 am

Haz1558

Does the lying through your teeth font show up?

10:34 am

Atalante

I thought you'd like that

10:34 am

Atalante

*gasp*

10:35 am

Haz1558

Did you get to cough down the phone to persuade the powers that be that you really were dying?

10:35 am

Atalante

nope, I just told them

10:35 am

Atalante

saying that, today is the first day that I've actually managed to stay out of bed

10:36 am

Haz1558

You're improving at last!

10:38 am

Haz1558

I take it Kleenex Balsam tissues have been pressed into service?

10:38 am

Atalante

very much so

10:38 am

Atalante

they are so so lovely

10:38 am

Haz1558

I wonder if they have a website where you could post appreciative comments?

10:39 am

rururocks

thank you ms. flu bug..

10:39 am

Atalante

from which I could gain commission status

10:39 am

Kleenex Balsam????

10:39 am

rururocks

(checking comments historically for ac5 comments)

10:39 am

nrkii

do they smell like balsam trees?

10:40 am

Haz1558

They don't smell, they're just soft.

10:40 am

Atalante

very soft

10:40 am

Haz1558

You know the way normal tissues make your nose sore if you have to blow lots of times? Kleenex Balsam don't.

10:40 am

nrkii

too bad, I love the smell of balsam

10:40 am

rururocks

I would like balsamic vinegar ones

10:41 am

nrkii

glad to hear you're feeling a bit better atalante

10:41 am

Haz1558

It used to be that I would have to switch to using proper cloth hankies to avoid the tissue soreness, but the balsam tissues are wonderful. (a satisfied customer, Oct 2009)

10:42 am

rururocks

lol

10:42 am

Haz1558

That would be my contribution if we could find a website.

10:42 am

Atalante

there's very few products that live up to their advertising, but those tissues do

10:42 am

Haz1558

They do.

10:43 am

Haz1558

And we're not being paid to say so. Although if they do offer a little financial reward......

10:43 am

nrkii

are there any DR words today?

10:43 am

10:47 am

Just need a 5 mins sanity break from the real work so where do I head :)

10:47 am

Erda

Has anybody posted the stats?

10:47 am

Erda, Lickety's list is there, or at least I have it.

10:48 am

Erda

Mine doesn't work; all broken up

10:48 am

You come to babble for sophisticated chat. You know it makes sense.

10:48 am

Erda - lickety reposted the,
Hey Haz :)

10:48 am

Haz1558

Oh dear! Sorry to hear that, Erda.

10:49 am

HOw was the ballet Haz?

10:49 am

Haz1558

It was lovely.

10:50 am

o-o

try here, Erda: http://tinyurl.com/2tfl4u

10:50 am

Haz1558

It was strange to hear the feet on stage, seeing it on television always makes you think they're floating or something.

10:51 am

Haz1558

They probably could have done with a bigger stage to really get leaping about but it was great to see.

10:51 am

inge

just checked my lickety list and it is totally normal

10:51 am

FMitch

I remember the first time my parents took me to see a ballet it was magical.
Oh yes - all those blocked ends to the shoes is goona make a noise!

10:51 am

Haz1558

And not an ounce of spare flesh anywhere.

10:51 am

inge

Did you reboot yet, Erda?

10:51 am

FMitch

Prob best not to go there HAz :)

10:51 am

Haz1558

I couldn't help wondering how they all appeared to be able to change costume so fast. Backstage must have been bedlam.

10:52 am

FMitch

Back in a sec - will just return to my usual icon.

10:52 am

Erda

Yes, Inge, but I'll do it again, right now

nrkii

speaking of lists... time for me to use one

10:53 am

Haz1558

It can't be good for your feet.

10:54 am

EvaNadine

there is a lot of padding in those toe shoes.

10:54 am

EvaNadine

and, seriously, dancers tend to have pretty busted feet.

10:55 am

FMitch

EvaN :) HI.

10:55 am

EvaNadine

hiya. :)

10:55 am

nrkii

erda? you there?

10:55 am

FMitch

still loving the sparkly apendage on your finger :)

10:55 am

Haz1558

I'm sure they must suffer in later life, as well as when they're dancing. It all looks graceful and elegant but the physical effort must be immense.

10:56 am

Haz1558

Any wedding dates set yet, EvaN?

10:56 am

FMitch

OH yes I am sure, broken joints, sprains, arthritus - but the drive to dance and be the best carries them on and ive us such memorable perforamces.

10:57 am

EvaNadine

the feet dont bother you so much once youre used to it.
the muscles it takes to be thta graceful is astounding, though.
people think of dancers (especially ballerinas) as these lithe little things, but in reality, they are SOLID muscle. total athletes.

10:57 am

EvaNadine

next fall. probably october.

10:58 am

Haz1558

That gives you a nice period of time to get organised.

10:58 am

FMitch

Can we be your babble bridesmiad - we already have a great colection of hats and outfits *grin*

10:58 am

Haz1558

EvaN, I w as joking earlier that I clapped extra hard to try and use up some calories - I felt so fat in contrast to those dancers!

10:58 am

EvaNadine

im trying. dear fiance is not quite ready to make decisions yet + is being a wee bit difficult.
need to corner him + beat him until he submits.

10:59 am

EvaNadine

absolutely!

11:01 am

FMitch

Actually that would be a great theme for icons -when you set the date - a pic of the babler in a bridesmaid outfit.

11:01 am

Haz1558

I've never been a bridesmaid.

11:01 am

EvaNadine

heh, ill be sure to announce when the date is selected. :)

11:02 am

FMitch

We could all post icons of our most crushing bridesmailds faux pas!

11:02 am

Haz1558

It would be hard to beat those bridesmaids with the Donny Osmond caps.

11:03 am

hi folks

11:03 am

11:04 am

Aw Haz you haven't - well you have missed the ignomy of wearing a dress that gave me static electricity and was covered in for-get-me-nots and some random pink flower. Oh and there was a hat that went with the outfit.

Good morning (afternoon, evening) all. I need to access the collective brain of our science-fiction fans here. I THINK the poem/song "Radiation Blues" was written as part of a story by either Asimov, Harlan Ellison, or possibly Heinlein. Ring any bells?

2:00 pm

westford

no ch have you tried google?

2:00 pm

ch1212

It goes, "Old H Bomb went off last Tuesday, by the Second Chance Saloon. There ain't nothin left but the jukebox, and it's playing a mournful tune..."

Yes --- google has NADA.

2:01 pm

westford

it sounds like Dylan

2:01 pm

ch1212

"Had a wake for Jake the barber, one long drink and one short prayer...he went and shot himself this morning 'cause the whole town's lost their hair..." ??

2:01 pm

westford

I like that

2:01 pm

westford

try googling one of the lines that may help

2:02 pm

ch1212

I have all the lyrics, and I recorded a bluesy version of it years ago, and now I'm burning the old recording to a CD --- but I don't know who wrote it.

I did google the lines.... only reference was someone else wondering if anyone remembered the song.

2:02 pm

westford

I hope you find out would love to hear it

2:03 pm

Angelsong

ch1212!!! hugs!!!

2:03 pm

westford

sounds like an old talking blues

2:03 pm

ch1212

It's darkly comic.

{{{ hugs Angelsong!! }}}

2:04 pm

ch1212

The third verse is about how he goes for a walk in the town park, and doesn't mind the busted streetlights because "I was glowing in the dark"

2:05 pm

ch1212

So, Angelsong... have you finished your final final draft and submitted it yet for your book? :)

2:05 pm

westford

and you think it's from a sci fi author?

2:05 pm

Angelsong

nope. planning to submit it in November.

2:06 pm

westford

hi angel nice to hear you're almost done

2:06 pm

Angelsong

we had a major unplanned expense this month. we had to have the engine on our car rebuilt.

2:06 pm

westford

not good better now?

2:07 pm

ch1212

Westford, I am pretty sure it is. I remember writing some music to go with the poem.

Angelsong, glad to hear you are taking your time. It will all come together!

2:07 pm

Angelsong

but we did get a programmable thermostat installed on Saturday. My son in law is an electrician, and he did it.

2:07 pm

Angelsong

this grid was not fun.

2:08 pm

ch1212

6:06 pm

hurshy

it makes me sorta thankful my one sis only likes dogs. it's bad enough doing undignified things to them - but not as bad as with cats.

6:06 pm

hurshy

i suppose with dogs it also depends on the breed and luckily she doesn't have, like, a golden retriever or anything.

6:17 pm

crosshair

lol hello dorens wecome to the grid and abandon all hope ye who enter:)) this one seems tough

6:17 pm

JBV

yw, doren -

6:18 pm

hurshy

you're nuts, it's a perfectly decent grid.

6:18 pm

crosshair

:P to you hurshy;))

6:18 pm

Dorens

decent to hurshy could be hard to others... i don't think i've ever seen you stumped

6:19 pm

hurshy

that is not true, i frequently state openly that i find a grid tough!

6:19 pm

hurshy

not to mention i was just stumped on the G bird until i got clues. :)

6:20 pm

crosshair

ive seen some of our better ladies do a 300 word monster halfway between thier first coffee and putting the war paint on for the day,so you may or may not have something hurshy;)

6:20 pm

Dorens

true, i stand corrected. i am stumped right off the bat by the top right e... have a bird and that is alal

6:20 pm

JBV

lots of phantoms in this one - keep seeing tribeca

6:20 pm

hurshy

the top left e, you mean? :) you and TO both getting that one backwards

6:20 pm

JBV

the other two are greek, doren - ep 6 and greek plural, also 6

6:21 pm

Dorens

funny jb... i just noticed that myself.. new york kind of thing i guess

6:21 pm

crosshair

we ill aim to get to your level of babbleness hurshy

6:21 pm

hurshy

also, the size of the grid isn't always correlated with the difficulty.

6:21 pm

Dorens

of course, jbv, they would be foreign language!

6:22 pm

Dorens

right, hursh. some of the hardest are the small ones

6:23 pm

hurshy

AND i'm still having a hard time with those ep's, though i did take 3 semesters of greek!

6:24 pm

welki

*nudges crossy* so maybe we have to be specific. the grid isn't that tough, just the words within *lol*

6:24 pm

JBV

doren and hurshy, it rhymes with your granddaughter again

6:24 pm

crosshair

well ty for correcting me to such a degree hursy,ill try to rething my opinion on a grid in the future

6:25 pm

hurshy

thanks JBV!

6:25 pm

hurshy

sorry crossy, i didn't mean to sound... you know... teacherish.

6:26 pm

JBV

hurshy, I studied greek too, can't speak it very much, but I can sound out most words

6:26 pm

EspritdJean

saganaki!

6:26 pm

EspritdJean

I can speak greek too

6:26 pm

hurshy

most of the greek i learned went out of my head pretty soon after i learned it

6:27 pm

welki

all the greek i know is what i learned working my way through school in greek diners ... and you won't find many of those words here :)

6:27 pm

EspritdJean

opah!

6:27 pm

hurshy

and it was ancient greek so we didn't speak it, only read it.

6:28 pm

JBV

so can you read the Odyssey in Greek, hursh?

6:28 pm

crosshair

homer..doh!

6:28 pm

JBV

that would be my ultimate dream - to read the great classics in the original language

6:29 pm

hurshy

um, no... i mean i could try, but even with a dictionary and a grammar book on hand it would be a major struggle and half my translation would sound very nonsensical.

6:29 pm

crosshair

or the illiad

6:29 pm

hurshy

as i said, forgot it very fast. cause really, when do you use ancient greek?

6:30 pm

hurshy

when i actually do get a sentence to make sense i am so proud. and then sometimes that would happen and i would go to the class and it would turn out it was wrong anyway.

6:31 pm

JBV

hurshy, I totally understand - did I tell you I am currently taking Chinese? I feel like i'm solving an impossible puzzle just to put one sentence together

6:32 pm

hurshy

that is very brave of you, JBV, i wouldn't dare touch chinese.

6:32 pm

JBV

just for fun - no bravery involved -

6:32 pm

hurshy

had a very tall, very blond friend in college who was learning it - worked very hard at it - so so funny to see him speaking it.

6:33 pm

JBV

I have been around languages all my life - and I have only ever met ONE American who could speak fluent Chinese

6:33 pm

Dorens

my high school russian teacher studied mandarin, so she had an after school club where we learned a bit... and i stress the word bit. took a long time to master just a few words and phrases

6:34 pm

hurshy

i had some second-gen chinese friends who would speak chinese to their parents on the phone, and it was so funny because they'd be chattering along in chinese and then hit a word they didn't know the chinese for, like "computer", and suddenly say just that word in un-accented english, and then go right back into the chinese.

6:35 pm

Dorens

the word ma... four or five different meanings depending on how you pronounce it?

6:36 pm

JBV

that's the hardest thing, doren, it's even hard to just HEAR the different tones, we are not accustomed to such fine differences

6:36 pm

Dorens

i must admit it was fun trying, though

6:37 pm

hurshy

ok, last word, th7. clue?

6:37 pm

JBV

it's a compound, preposition

6:37 pm

JBV

oh, no, sorry, never mind

6:38 pm

Dorens

th + P***winkle + 40 **res and a mule

6:38 pm

hurshy

i was gonna say, i can't put -to, -at, -in, or -by ...

6:38 pm

hurshy

1000 points to dorens!

6:38 pm

JBV

thanks, doren, I must have been seeing things

6:39 pm

hurshy

6:39 pm

Dorens

6:39 pm

6:39 pm

JBV

hurshy

6:40 pm

JBV

6:40 pm

hurshy

6:40 pm

cybernan

6:40 pm

JBV

6:40 pm

Dorens

i have delivery... like reading online, but like to do the puzzles in ink. the doublecrostics are my favorites

6:40 pm

hurshy

6:43 pm

Dorens

6:43 pm

JBV

6:43 pm

Dorens
