2:53 am

sprite

sleep well, katie

2:53 am

jillibus

bye katie -- have a nice snooze

2:53 am

sprite

I have 2x7, but nothing bigger yet. Not asking! Just enjoying the game.

2:57 am

sprite

jilli: how about re-ing every word in your list of found words? ;)

2:57 am

jillibus

I'm sorta trying that, sprite, but . . .

2:58 am

sprite

hehehe, I thought you might

2:59 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all. It's so nice to see a bigger grid and it seems to be civilised so far.

2:59 am

sprite

good morning Haz

2:59 am

Atalante

*flop* back from pup walk

2:59 am

jillibus

hi haz -- not too bad

2:59 am

jillibus

hi ata

2:59 am

sprite

hi Ata

2:59 am

Haz1558

Hello Ata!

2:59 am

Andree

i everyoneh

3:00 am

Haz1558

And good evening, Andree.

3:00 am

sprite

hey Andree

3:00 am

Atalante

hi Andree! hi Hugo!

3:00 am

Atalante

hi Haz! hi La Glitteratina!

3:01 am

Atalante

and Sprite! and Terra!

3:01 am

Atalante

have I used my quota of ! for the day?

3:01 am

Haz1558

I must investigate your icon, Ata.

3:01 am

jillibus

hello andree

3:01 am

Atalante

tis the Stone of Rosetta

3:02 am

sprite

never, Ata

3:02 am

Haz1558

You've been remarkably restrained with your !. They may just last out the day.

3:02 am

Atalante

someone was having a "discussion" the other day about how big it was. So I went and took a pic of it

3:02 am

Haz1558

Something at the back of my mind tells me that it was someone from here who deciphered it. I'll have to google to find out. A clergyman who was rather brilliant.

3:03 am

Atalante

tell us when you find out!!

3:03 am

jillibus

did you measure it?

3:05 am

Atalante

nope, it's fairly impossible to get close to, always crowds of screaming kids around it, especially now they've moved it right next to the gallery entrance

3:05 am

Haz1558

Apparently a Thomas Young, English clever clogs.

3:05 am

jillibus

pretty big, though, isn't it?

3:06 am

sprite

that personto the left gives a suggestion of the size

3:06 am

Haz1558

It must have been someone else from here who did something with hieroglyphics.

3:06 am

Atalante

it's about 4 foot? ish ....

3:07 am

Atalante

I'd just stick with Liam Neeson, Haz. You're on sa4 grounds there

3:07 am

Haz1558

But there's a Rosetta district in Belfast. There must be some connection.

3:07 am

o-o

After many years of studying the Rosetta Stone and other examples of ancient Egyptian writing, Jean-FranÃ§ois Champollion deciphered hieroglyphs in 1822.

3:08 am

sprite

hello BabbleRabble

3:08 am

jillibus

hi babrab

3:08 am

Haz1558

You're not going to give the credit to the French!

3:09 am

Haz1558

I think he was Thomas Young's assistant who tried to steal the glory.

3:09 am

Atalante

ooo, you would think ...

3:09 am

Haz1558

By 1814 Young had deciphered the Rosetta Stone.

3:10 am

sprite

don't worry, Haz, it is probably pronounced Djeen-Franskoys Champoo-Lion

3:10 am

Haz1558

Rosetta decoding wars.....

3:11 am

Haz1558

Later in the text - Champillion was unwilling to share the credit.

3:11 am

Atalante

blooming Frenchies

3:11 am

Haz1558

What do you think? Film or mini-series?

3:12 am

Atalante

mini-series

3:12 am

jillibus

Well, 88 left and I'm off to bed -- have a good day, everyone!

3:12 am

sprite

sleep well, jilli, and dream even better *hugs*

3:12 am

Haz1558

Lots of opportunities for sunsets over pyramids.

3:12 am

Haz1558

Good night jillibus.

3:12 am

Andree

bye jlli

3:13 am

jillibus

Let me know when the mini-series is ready

3:13 am

Atalante

yep. and some good cliffhangers for the episodes

3:13 am

jillibus

*poof*

3:13 am

Haz1558

We will, jillibus. I favour the young Omar Sharif for a starring role.

3:13 am

Atalante

ooo yes.

3:14 am

Haz1558

LIam Neeson for the Irish man who probably did all the hard work while the French man and Young argued in tents.

3:16 am

Atalante

Jean Reno in there somewhere

3:16 am

sprite

I am off, please think of me

3:16 am

Haz1558

Bye sprite, hope all goes well.

3:16 am

Andree

good luck sprite, hope all goes well

3:21 am

herinfernallady

Hi

3:21 am

Haz1558

Hello, herin.

3:21 am

Andree

hi herin

3:22 am

herinfernallady

How are you?

3:22 am

Haz1558

Ata, did I ever tell you about the Wild Beast episode?

3:22 am

herinfernallady

Hi Andree and Ata and Haz Ata sent you that message but didn't realise you were still a lot poo

3:23 am

Atalante

no, haz!

3:23 am

Haz1558

Well, last Sunday we had the emergency line from the surgery. I took a phone call from police control centre in Coleraine.

3:24 am

Atalante

yes, still fairly blech. having blood tests today

3:24 am

Haz1558

The story was that a lady had returned home from an evening out and reported to her boyfriend that a wolf or a bear, in any case a large wild creature, had crossed her path.

3:24 am

Atalante

there was a Wild Beast on the run???!!

3:24 am

Haz1558

The boyfriend, being a concerned citizen, went out looking for said beast the next morning. (He was either scared of the dark or his torch batteries had run out)

3:25 am

Haz1558

Anyway, he discovered the corpse of an animal in the stream near their house. He immediately decided that the wild beast must have devoured the animal and that the citizenry of Ballymena should be informed.

3:26 am

Atalante

oh nooooo

3:26 am

Haz1558

He rang the police, they went out to look, couldn't work out what had happened and would the vet come to see what it was, determine cause of death and basically say that there was NOT a bear on the rampage so that they could quash any rumours.

3:26 am

Haz1558

True to form, when I told husband, his first words were 'i'm not missing lunch over the head of this.'

3:27 am

Haz1558

Priorities.

3:27 am

Haz1558

Anyway, after lunch he headed off to find this slain animal.

3:27 am

Atalante

well yes! lunch or rampaging wild animals ... no contest

3:27 am

Haz1558

It was a dead sheep, had been dead for many days, had probably slipped into the stream, drowned and had been dinner for local foxes etc.

3:28 am

Haz1558

So the rumour of the Beast of Ballymena never got started. AND he got his lunch.

3:28 am

Haz1558

But wouldn't you have thought that the boyfriend might have asked the girlfriend just how much she had had to drink?

3:28 am

Atalante

*rolls eyes* can't people tell the difference between a freshly killed something and something that had been lying around for a while!

3:29 am

herinfernallady

ewww

3:29 am

Atalante

yes ......

3:29 am

Haz1558

No, Ata. If only they watched CSI...

3:29 am

Andree

in a few months that will make a great story at a party after a few ales haz

3:30 am

Haz1558

Just for badness, he should have told the police that he had found huge pawprints.

3:30 am

Atalante

he should LOOL

3:31 am

Haz1558

He could have had his photo in the paper, pointing solemnly to them. (We know friends with a stuffed bear, it wouldn't have been too difficult)

3:31 am

herinfernallady

hehe

3:34 am

Atalante

imagine the trauma through the small dog owners association of Ballymena

3:35 am

Haz1558

I know. And children would have been banned from playing outside.

3:35 am

herinfernallady

Ata do you like that tattoo idea?

3:37 am

Atalante

yes .... but I can't really help you straight away. you'd have to go on the waiting list :P

3:37 am

herinfernallady

That is ok i thought I would be cheeky

3:38 am

Haz1558

Yes, she's working on a design for me.

3:38 am

Haz1558

Cue hearty laughter and disbelief.

3:38 am

Atalante

oh yes, Haz is going to be uber trendy

3:39 am

Haz1558

Do you really think husband won't mind a full size portrait of George on my back?

3:39 am

Atalante

I'm sure he'd love it. .....

3:40 am

herinfernallady

thanks for teasing me :(

3:40 am

Haz1558

He'll be so interested in working out the knotwork he'll not even notice George.

3:41 am

Atalante

you can hope!

3:41 am

Haz1558

I am just teasing, getting a tattoo ranks highly on my list of it'll never happen.

3:42 am

Andree

ha ha me too haz

3:42 am

Haz1558

Too much pain.

3:43 am

Haz1558

And if they missed out an apostrophe or something, think of the trauma.

3:44 am

Atalante

some tattoo places screw up tattoos really badly

3:45 am

Atalante

cat! go away!

3:46 am

lynxxx

Hello everyone. Hi Ata, I just had a nice haf hour reading through your ramblings (and look forward to quite a few more hours). You have such a nice relaxed and informative style, you deserve to make some money out of it someday/somehow

3:46 am

Haz1558

Smugness levels rising.....

3:46 am

Andree

hi lynxxx

3:47 am

Haz1558

You do write well, Ata.

3:47 am

Haz1558

Hello, lynxxx.

3:47 am

lynxxx

hi Andree & Hugo

3:47 am

Atalante

I do have a bit of difficulty sticking to the topic under consideration LOL

3:48 am

herinfernallady

thanks for teasing me over asking Ata to do something that means something to me.

3:48 am

joshuavorbis

i like how hansel and gretel are both in the grid today

3:48 am

lynxxx

oh no, that was not a criticism at all

3:48 am

Haz1558

I don't know. You seemed to stick to the bogs for a long time.

3:48 am

Atalante

*grin* I know

3:48 am

Atalante

herin, we're not teasing you! I think it's a lovely idea

3:49 am

lynxxx

Wow Josh, I didn't even notice that

3:49 am

herinfernallady

Thank you for clarifying that

3:50 am

herinfernallady

damn it I think i broke the internet

3:50 am

Haz1558

I've got no idea what your tattoo is going to be, herin, I was just laughing at the notion that you would have to wait because Ata was working on a design for me.

3:51 am

lynxxx

PS TY Josh

3:51 am

Atalante

and you can tell me how much a wrist tattoo hurts

3:53 am

Andree

are you really getting a tat herin, ouch

3:53 am

joshuavorbis

i'm thinking of getting a new tattoo when i make my big trip to NZ in a few years

3:54 am

lynxxx

a Maori design?

3:55 am

joshuavorbis

at least hinting at maori design. i've been doing a lot of research over the past few months

3:55 am

Haz1558

I wonder if Egyptians get Rosetta stone design tattoos?

3:55 am

lynxxx

They are pretty stunning

3:55 am

joshuavorbis

some of the maori tattoo designs are more interesting than others, to me

3:56 am

herinfernallady

Thinking much about it

3:57 am

herinfernallady

Hi anyone I missed

3:57 am

joshuavorbis

i was considering getting the tattoo by traditional methods - but i wonder if that's a step too far

3:57 am

Atalante

I love Maori design

3:58 am

lynxxx

I reckon Josh

3:59 am

Haz1558

What are the traditional methods?

4:00 am

Atalante

you probably don't want to know

4:00 am

joshuavorbis

basically instead of a needle you use a wooden plank and kind of hammer it in

4:01 am

Haz1558

Have you had your sanity tested recently?

4:01 am

joshuavorbis

no, because i would certainly fail

4:02 am

Haz1558

I'm all for tradition but some things are best left to history.

4:02 am

joshuavorbis

well, it's not like modern tattoo technique is pain-free

4:03 am

Haz1558

That's true, but is this not more painful?

4:04 am

joshuavorbis

i don't think the issue is more pain, i think it is more time-intensive

4:05 am

Haz1558

The Maori method is more time intensive?

4:05 am

joshuavorbis

i think that is why it is not more widely practiced. i could be wrong though

4:05 am

Atalante

I don't think it's meant to be much more painful

4:06 am

joshuavorbis

i wouldn't be doing it to experience more pain, that's for sure

4:07 am

Haz1558

Is the final result markedly different between traditional and modern methods?

4:07 am

joshuavorbis

not if it's done correctly

4:09 am

Atalante

and I suppose you can be guaranteed to get something meaningful and Maori if done by a traditional practitioner

4:10 am

joshuavorbis

i'm not really guaranteed of that, am i?

4:10 am

joshuavorbis

maybe it will be meaningful and authentic, maybe it won't

4:11 am

Atalante

I would think you'd have more chance at a traditional practitioner

4:11 am

herinfernallady

mph I have to study

4:11 am

joshuavorbis

the trick would be finding the traditional practicioner

4:12 am

joshuavorbis

and not someone with a flyer at the youth hostel

4:12 am

Haz1558

If they have a sign outside saying 'Traditional Maori practitioner, meaningful tattoos guaranteed', you're onto a winner

4:12 am

herinfernallady

Um silly thought but ask Kiwi

4:13 am

Haz1558

If they have templates of US sports and film stars, leave!

4:13 am

Atalante

yep! I suppose it depends how much time you're willing to give up to having the tattoo done. finding someone, discussing designs etc etc

4:14 am

herinfernallady

Err simple solution ask Kiwi on here

4:14 am

forwardbyfaith

could I get some help with the lu6 please?

4:15 am

Atalante

I know a few people who would probably be able to recommend, as well as Kiwi

4:15 am

joshuavorbis

i'll be happy to do whatever footwork i need to do to get a great piece of art incorporated on some of my skin. but first i need to earn the money to pay for the trip there

4:15 am

joshuavorbis

city in switzerland, sort of, forward

4:15 am

herinfernallady

If anyone sees the busy little Kiwi

4:16 am

Haz1558

lu6 - begin with most of Miss Ball, finish with a seabird.

4:17 am

lynxxx

Was just doing a spot of reading on it. Maori Tattoos and Non-Maoris

By using a moko pattern for your own tattoo design, you may be insulting the Maori people. It is never ok for a non-maori to wear a Maori tattoo pattern, even if it is done with respect.

Maori tattoo patterns and symbols are a way of personal identification for the Maori people. By copying their designs you steal a part of their identity, what the Maori see as an insult.

If you want a tattoo design in the Maori style, find a tattoo artist that has experience with Maori tattoos and knows about these issues. He can design a tattoo for you that has the looks of a moko without the Maori symbolic ties.

4:17 am

forwardbyfaith

ty Haz!

4:17 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, forward.

4:17 am

Atalante

yep, absolutely

4:18 am

joshuavorbis

yeah, lynxx - that is definitely one of the concerns. but i have also read of maori people who want to share their traditional patterns with non-maori

4:18 am

Haz1558

That's interesting, lynxxx.

4:18 am

joshuavorbis

hence the real deal tattooist, and not some random guy in auckland

4:19 am

Atalante

there is, however, one *amazing* tattooist in Auckland. oh gosh, what's his name ...

4:20 am

Haz1558

Any clues on what it begins with, Ata?

4:20 am

joshuavorbis

just got fireworks, btw

4:20 am

Haz1558

Well done, josh.

4:20 am

joshuavorbis

last word is also the first, alphabetically - ac4/6

4:20 am

Andree

yay josh

4:21 am

lynxxx

Perhaps this guy Ata.......British pop star Robbie Williams had a Maori tattoo done on his arm in 2000 by New Zealand artist Te Rangitu Netana.

4:21 am

lynxxx

Congrats Josh!

4:21 am

Atalante

http://phoenixtattoos.deviantart.com/g
allery/#Tattoo-tribal

4:22 am

Atalante

Robbie Williams got into a lot of trouble over that tattoo!

4:22 am

lynxxx

I read that

4:23 am

Atalante

gosh, how did I ever end up knowing so much about tattoos?

4:24 am

joshuavorbis

i can understand how a culture who attached huge familial and political significance to tattoo symbology taking umbrage when a british (of all people) pop star "had a tattoo done"

4:24 am

Atalante

like the Spice Girls doing a haka *facepalm*

4:24 am

joshuavorbis

my verbs weren't right in that sentence but you get the idea

4:25 am

joshuavorbis

oh no, did they really?

4:25 am

Atalante

oh yes, they really did

4:25 am

joshuavorbis

how utterly appropriate

4:26 am

Atalante

it was cringeworthy. and I'm sure none of them knew why everyone was unimpressed

4:26 am

Haz1558

The All Blacks were pretty offended when the Irish rugby team advanced upon them when they were performing the Haka at an international.

4:27 am

joshuavorbis

well, given the nature of the haka and the performing it before a very competitive rugby match, i think a little gamesmanship should be permitted from the opposing side

4:27 am

Atalante

you're meant to stand and watch and be intimidated!

4:27 am

Haz1558

The Irish reasoning was that if they were going to be confronted with a warrior type thing, they were going to be as menacing as they could in return.

4:27 am

Atalante

it's amazing watching games with - say - NZ vs Fiji - watching the opposing hakas

4:28 am

Atalante

they should had whirled around some curling sticks

4:28 am

Atalante

*hurling

4:28 am

Haz1558

All they did was to link arms, adopt a menacing look and advance slowly until they were almost eye to eye.

4:28 am

Atalante

curling sticks. that's an interesting concept

4:28 am

joshuavorbis

i was treated to a drunken haka on the beach by some kiwis i met while vacationing in fiji

4:28 am

joshuavorbis

the all blacks should take offense to that before the irish

4:29 am

joshuavorbis

i was very impressed, however- granted i was drunken as well

4:29 am

lynxxx

Good on the Irish I say!

4:29 am

Atalante

absolutely!

4:30 am

Haz1558

They had a particularly belligerent captain that year, and it was actually quite good to watch, you weren't quite sure what was going to happen.

4:30 am

forwardbyfaith

anyone have the ne9/10 combo?

4:30 am

Haz1558

They've been on their best behaviour ever since - the All Blacks considered it a huge insult.

4:30 am

Atalante

I think a lot more tea,ms are standing up to the All Blacks now

4:31 am

lynxxx

I am sure Ata does

4:31 am

Haz1558

I don't, forward.

4:31 am

Atalante

Ata was quite happy not knowing it was a ne9.10 tyvm

4:31 am

joshuavorbis

ne + french song La ___ + not coffee but ___ + single hump letter

4:31 am

joshuavorbis

plural for the 10

4:32 am

Atalante

but now I have them

4:32 am

Haz1558

Trying to fit Marseillaise in....

4:32 am

lynxxx

I know how you love worms

4:32 am

Atalante

and Clair de la Lune

4:33 am

herinfernallady

ok slap me

4:33 am

joshuavorbis

also french word for the sea

4:33 am

Atalante

my worm love for today extended only to be annoyed that nematode wasn't here!

4:33 am

Haz1558

Thanks, josh.

4:33 am

forwardbyfaith

ty josh!

4:34 am

Haz1558

I was annoyed by that as well, Ata.

4:34 am

joshuavorbis

i totally monkeyed the 9/10 earlier. it was beautiful

4:34 am

Atalante

and rectangle

4:35 am

Haz1558

I want mufti.

4:35 am

Atalante

and mucilage

4:35 am

lynxxx

I want another 103 words

4:35 am

Haz1558

It won't take what is undoubtedly the alternative spelling of mufty.

4:35 am

Atalante

I still haven't forgiven enable for not allowing saltate a few days ago

4:36 am

joshuavorbis

5:30am's a good bedtime - g'night all

sorry Ata and Haz if I spoiled the 9/10 for you by asking for the clue

4:37 am

herinfernallady

what does teh 8 start with please

4:37 am

Haz1558

You spoilt nothing, forward, we needed to find it sooner or later!

4:37 am

herinfernallady

pardon my typos my finger is screwed up from typing

4:37 am

lynxxx

no Infernal

4:37 am

Atalante

se6 - what Derek Acorah held trying to contact Michael Jackson. Did you see that piece of trainwreck tv, Haz?

4:38 am

herinfernallady

Ta

4:38 am

Haz1558

No! I heard a trailer for it and thought 'There's one to avoid.' I can't stand his accent apart from anything else.

4:39 am

Atalante

I managed to watch about 4 minutes of it

4:39 am

Haz1558

Did he come through? (Sarcastic font)

4:39 am

herinfernallady

O wonderful what a berk

4:39 am

Atalante

he did! he said that he was very cross that he hadn't been interred next to Marilyn Monroe

4:40 am

Haz1558

Well, you would be, wouldn't you?

4:40 am

Atalante

and that was about all, apparently

4:40 am

Haz1558

So, are preparations being made to make things right for Michael?

4:41 am

herinfernallady

People like Derek mark me angree

4:41 am

Atalante

Derek A had some fans of MJ at the se6, they were all Utterly Convinced MJ had spoken to them, of course

4:41 am

Haz1558

The city authorities of LA are wanting to get back some of the money they spent on MJ's funeral. And there I was thinking that they were doing it for love.

4:41 am

Haz1558

Did MJ sing?

4:42 am

Atalante

quite probably

4:42 am

Atalante

I'd turned off in horror by that point

4:43 am

Atalante

and remember that Jordan is in Celebrity Jungle thingy from tonight

4:43 am

Haz1558

I wonder if Derek Acorah asked him about his reaction to the X Factor people using his song.

4:43 am

herinfernallady

Jordan or her boobs

4:43 am

Haz1558

John and Edward get to sing four words in it.

4:44 am

Haz1558

I steadfastly avoid 'I'm a celebrity' but no doubt there'll be articles in the press.

4:44 am

Atalante

"sing"

4:44 am

Haz1558

Yes. No rapping.

4:44 am

Atalante

omg! I see the word in the grid that I NEVER find before listing! yay!

4:45 am

Atalante

I'm still giggling about the Wild Beast of Ballymena

4:45 am

lynxxx

Off to get some dinner and watch Qi, leave some clues around for me to come back to will you please

4:45 am

Haz1558

I've tried niece, asea and ocean. Keep thinking...

4:45 am

Atalante

ca5/12 :)

4:45 am

Haz1558

Enjoy QI, lynxxx.

4:46 am

Atalante

yay QI :)

4:46 am

Atalante

I immediately looked for niece and ocean lol

4:46 am

herinfernallady

dang it I really need to stuy

4:46 am

Haz1558

As in the boat or the Indian class?

Trifioso

good morning babble friends! insomnia again, but on the plus side, I do get more babble time :)

4:54 am

fuquayvarina

me too, trif. at least it's a nice juicy grid

4:55 am

Trifioso

indeed! a nice change from the weenie grids of the past week

4:55 am

fuquayvarina

so disappointing when it's over too soon

4:56 am

Trifioso

sigh. as with most things in life...and then,of course, life itself

4:58 am

fuquayvarina

indeed. feeling melancholy this morning?

4:59 am

Trifioso

feh. no more so than usual when I awake 4 hours too early.

4:59 am

fuquayvarina

is that happening a lot? I've been waking up at 4 AM or so for weeks and I'm getting very tired of it

5:01 am

Trifioso

it is SO FUNNY you ask me that! just yesterday a friend and I were discussing how 70% of our facebook updates are people saying they can't sleep, or that their sleep was disrupted the night before, etc. Not sure if it is a seasonal thing, mid-life or we are all just stressed out, but there it is. universal insomnia, it seems

5:01 am

Trifioso

though I should correct myself - have not heard from any one from other planets, so maybe it is confined to earth, for now

5:02 am

fuquayvarina

I think it's a midlife thing

5:04 am

herinfernallady

hi and by

5:05 am

herinfernallady

opps bye. need to study

5:05 am

5:15 am

Trifioso

was thinking of you last night - hoppy bunny here needs nails done - sure you are much more adept at it then I am.

5:16 am

Scrabbler

I just did that for Sebastian + Gandalf. Other 2 are next. I hold them tight and get it done.

5:16 am

Scrabbler

TY, haz

5:16 am

NonoNanette

ty so much Haz!

5:17 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Scrabbler and Nono. Hello to all!

5:17 am

Scrabbler

Trif, you will appreciate this: crazy sprinting bunny. Miss Bea just did crazy run around living + dining rooms as I came downstairs. She is happy to have me down here.

5:17 am

Trifioso

sweet bunny greetings!!!! LOVE that!

5:18 am

NonoNanette

both top e's now grey

5:18 am

Haz1558

Well done, Nono.

5:18 am

Trifioso

I have yet to mistress holding him and doing the nails - still a two person activity, I am afraid.

5:19 am

Scrabbler

I hold them like babies, on their back. But Tucker is a 10 lb strong, powerful buck, so I am more cautious so he doesn't thrash and break his back.

5:20 am

Trifioso

I actually was just reading more about this breaking back thing - something new to worry about! have you ever tried those pedi paw things? I did get one, but the kittens have a lot more patience with it than hoppy.

5:20 am

blueheron

morning everyone..just came in from trying to view the meteor shower we were supposed to have. Saw a few, not the spectacular show that was predicted. A bit chilly at 4:00 am. Did anyone here see it?

5:21 am

NonoNanette

hi blue

5:21 am

Scrabbler

As rannits have become more popular house pets more is known about rabbit care + health.

5:21 am

Haz1558

Good morning, blue.

5:21 am

Trifioso

oh, RATS - forgot about blue! I was up too...

5:21 am

Scrabbler

Hi blueheron. No, I needed a good night of sleep.

5:21 am

Trifioso

and now I have to go to the PB.... aaargh

5:22 am

Scrabbler

*rabbits

5:22 am

Scrabbler

5:24 am

Trifioso

5:25 am

Scrabbler

I am up to 38. Let's go trif!!

5:26 am

blueheron

I'm up to 3. wanna race?

5:26 am

NonoNanette

between the two of you with 102

5:26 am

Scrabbler

Don't be a stubborn mu4!

5:26 am

Trifioso

if I said "race ya" right now, you know what would happen? you would win!

5:27 am

Scrabbler

I am not fully conscious nor caffeinated, plus I am not a morning person, so no point racing.

5:27 am

Trifioso

BTW, last night I had my most common recurring dream - I was at a theatre, it was time to go on, but I didn't know my lines, hadn't been to rehearsals, etc. Except this time, I was in Ireland, and the play they were doing was a long time favorite of mine - I knew all the songs and lines, and they were delighted with me, as they had no idea how they were going to stage the play without the actress who would have normally played my part.

5:28 am

NonoNanette

a star in the making Trif

5:29 am

JBV

good morning and hi everyone - Trif there was a great article in a recent New Yorker about scientists studying dreams - they have been successful in training people to control their own recurring nightmares

5:30 am

JBV

your dream sounds like the perfect solution - instead of standing on stage naked and speechless, you became the star!

5:30 am

Haz1558

Good morning, JBV.

5:32 am

Scrabbler

check out dreamstudies.com--fascinating site that I stumbled upon last evening. I took the quiz, subscribed, bookmarked, etc

5:32 am

JBV

I sleep very well, thank goodness - but I have been fascinated with dreams since I was a child - kept dream journals, etc. and I do have a few recurring dreams

5:32 am

Trifioso

ok thanks, I will check that out, scrabbler! There is a famous Chinese curse about dreams -- "may all your dreams come true"

5:33 am

Scrabbler

Me too, JBV. I have detailed, vivid dreams, many recurring, and I have lucid dream often, and visitation dreams. I was on that web site for a while last night. Neat info

5:34 am

NonoNanette

i seldom have dreams but woke up to realy weird one this morning

5:38 am

Trifioso

I am going to try to go back to sleep for a half hour....ttyl

5:38 am

You don't have dreams? I call my dream world the Lynda Channel--busy, fascinating dreams all night.

5:54 am

Scrabbler

Oh, my, look at the totals for C and F.

5:56 am

Merk

I haven't even looked at the totals yet. With its center place and three vowels, the c pulls thru.

5:56 am

Merk

The f has even more, but 32, wow. And without a l or r touching it.

5:57 am

JBsAnno

Merk is such a fan of c

5:58 am

ah, yes, the checks - here's something that may make you smile - my mother was a super-organized neatnik, and had all her accounts prepared in advance to make things easy for us - ..... when we went to the funeral home to arrange things, he came up with an itemized bill for all the details (flowers, cards, etc.etc. ) and guess what?

I have waited at the stage door only once and had a bad experience. It was Richard Dreyfus. He was very rude to someone and I told him "that was not very nice" and he got in my face and hollered and hollered. I just stood there and stared at him. Then we walked away and he ran after us up the block and gave my friend an autograph and a pen. I thought he was crazy or needed a fix.

8:56 am

yay finally the last biggie!

Anniebrook

Une, she is wonderfully perfect

8:57 am

Angelsong

Jealous. Edie Falco is brilliant in everything.

8:57 am

mom2han8

Maybe it was back in his drinkin' days Annie...

8:57 am

Angelsong

anyone have a clue for the 9?

8:57 am

Uneaixoise

She was charming and so friendly -- when I told her her performance made me weep, she hugged me and said "sometimes we need to"

8:58 am

sprite

wow Une

8:58 am

Judi

Richard Dryefus always seemed like the type to be a d*ck. Overcompensation for being so short, I suppose.

8:58 am

Uneaixoise

i know . . .

8:58 am

Anniebrook

mom2, it was about 2 or 3 years ago.

8:58 am

hi Haz

8:58 am

Uneaixoise

hey, haz!

8:58 am

mom2han8

Clay Aiken told me that my kid should have a coat on after a performance of Spamalot, LOL! He was right, but when we left it was beautiful and she refused to carry her jacket... so!

8:59 am

Uneaixoise

I LOVED Spamalot!!!

8:59 am

Haz1558

Hello again! I seem to have spent the day popping in and out of babble.

8:59 am

Anniebrook

Judi, LOL, yes you are right. I am taller than him. I was looking down at him.

8:59 am

pop goes the hazel

8:59 am

Anniebrook

I LOVED Spamalot.

Right now I am annoyed with him, but will get over it, LOL.

9:00 am

*dorens

9:00 am

sprite

it went very well, Haz. It wasn't as painful as they had said and the doctor was actually a lot nicer than last time.

9:00 am

Uneaixoise

good to hear, sprite

9:00 am

sprite

thanks for asking :)

9:00 am

Haz1558

That's good.

9:01 am

mom2han8

One of my most bizarre encounters with a famous person was in NYCs East Village... Ron Wood tried to pick me up... I was with my kid and he did not care, LOL!

9:01 am

Angelsong

I'm stuck for the 9. help, please?

9:01 am

mom2han8

He kept on insisting that I join him at this cafe for a drink... too funny.

9:01 am

Uneaixoise

mom LOL!

9:01 am

Haz1558

Angel, I clued it at 8.58

9:02 am

Judi

Clue for ca6/33, please?

9:02 am

mom2han8

Also a couple of years ago met Chris Rock, Louis Black, and Mo Rocco in McDonalds in Manhattan... they were very nice and very funny (of course)!

9:02 am

Haz1558

ca6/33 - as much as you can fit in a tin.

9:02 am

Uneaixoise

9:03 am

mom2han8

It was great... we had like a 1/2 hour conversation. I asked them why they were not eating in a better establishment... and they just riffed on Mickey D's for a while... they kept teasing my daughter... very nice!

9:03 am

sprite

wb jmb

9:03 am

Judi

Ty for the ca/33.

9:03 am

Uneaixoise

aackkk, you're killing me! LOL

9:04 am

Haz1558

For ca6 - put as much as you are able into a tin and you will have a ca6/33.

9:04 am

Anniebrook

Many years ago I was in a MacDonald's and at the next table a group including a young child there sat Jackie Kennedy. Of course it was years after JFK was dead.

9:04 am

Aloyisius

hi everyone, Terrific Tuesday to you all

9:04 am

Uneaixoise

hey, aloy :-)

9:04 am

sprite

hi Aloy :) To you too!

9:04 am

mom2han8

After about 5 minutes I forgot who they were, honestly, and was just shooting the "you know what" with them... very normal guys.

9:04 am

Haz1558

Hello Aloy!

9:04 am

Uneaixoise

annie, how amazing . . .

9:04 am

mom2han8

Now I am jealous of Annie... I am named after Jackie-O.

9:04 am

Anniebrook

Hi Aloy!

9:05 am

Judi

Wow! Can't believe JackieO would take the kids out to Mickey D's. I'm sure the Secret Service detail was thrilled.

9:06 am

Anniebrook

She was very gracious. I just smiled at her and she smiled back and waved at my children. She was in her signature outfit. All black and veryexpensive.

9:06 am

mom2han8

Right after Pat Nixon died I met Richard Nixon in a diner in Ramsey, NJ.... It was very early in the morning and I was on my way to Ramapo College... stopped for coffee and there he was. Gave my condolences and he thanked me... it was kind of cool!

9:06 am

Uneaixoise

how lovely

9:06 am

Aloyisius

adding my wows to Annie's encounter at Mickey D's

9:06 am

Uneaixoise

lovely re Jackie not Tricky Dick

OK.. off to Shop-rite.

9:07 am

Judi

YAAY, Sprite!

congrats to you, sprite!!! hagd

9:07 am

Haz1558

Congratulations, sprite, have a good day.

9:07 am

Anniebrook

Oh yes Richard Nixon. He sat BEHIND us at a Met game. I couldnt believe it. I went up to him with my son and a secret service agent came over and came with me to get an autograph. Still have it on the Mets score card. He was very friendly.

9:07 am

sprite

more than we can count, Une, but not in this grid

9:08 am

Haz1558

It's the only one.

9:08 am

Anniebrook

He said he was a big baseball fan. So much for famous people.

9:09 am

Uneaixoise

sprite LOL

9:09 am

Uneaixoise

thanks, haz

9:09 am

Judi

I'm sure Richard Nixon was convinced the country hated him after the resignation/pardon. He was probably delighted to not have things thrown at him.

9:09 am

Aloyisius

hi there geek... day off or on your lunch break? nice to see you

9:09 am

Gail

My father in law was in the steel business, and he and my mother in law had dinner with five different presidents at the white house.

It was Reagan, Nixon, Carter, and two others. They loved Jimmy Carter, went to visit him in Plains, GA, too.

9:11 am

Gail

I have a teddy bear made out of the mink stole she used to wear to the white house.

9:11 am

Uneaixoise

9:12 am

Gail

Name dropping is fun. I loved it when we picked them up from the airport and got to hear all the Washington gossip.

9:12 am

Aloyisius

groan.. "defuel" is so a word

9:12 am

9:15 am

KatieMcG

9:15 am

Haz1558

See you later, Annie.

9:15 am

sciencegeek

i also see a serial killer in the grid

9:15 am

Judi

Wouldn't that be "fu fries"? And, no - I'm not going to the penalty box for that.

9:16 am

Aloyisius

served them with lentil loaf.. my kids are vegetarians and they were visiting

9:16 am

Aloyisius

bye, Annie!

9:16 am

sciencegeek

agreed judi!

9:16 am

Aloyisius

9:17 am

Judi

Lentil loaf??? You're scaring me, Aloy.

9:17 am

Aloyisius

ooh, it is delicious, Judi! Comes out looking like a meatloaf!

9:18 am

KatieMcG

*having a sudden need for a McDonalds burger* lol

9:18 am

Aloyisius

even the carnivores enjoyed it!

9:18 am

Judi

So I assume, Aloy. Sounds very uh... fiberous.

9:18 am

Uneaixoise

ok, here's a pic I took of my daughter with Edie Falco after "Night, Mother"

9:19 am

Judi

LOL. Edie was brave to go out in public w/o makeup.

9:19 am

Uneaixoise

on stage, she had just committed suicide . . .

9:20 am

KatieMcG

looks good for someone who had just committed suicide lol

9:20 am

Uneaixoise

offstage, actually

9:20 am

Uneaixoise

i had just finished weeping copiously!

9:20 am

Judi

Well, she makes an attractive zombie, then.

9:20 am

Uneaixoise

love that woman

9:21 am

Haz1558

I was getting so confused. I was reading Eddie Falco and wondering why going out without make-up would be a problem for him.

9:21 am

Uneaixoise

haz LOL

9:21 am

Atalante

who is Edie Falco?

9:21 am

KatieMcG

don't make it laugh it hurts !!

9:21 am

Uneaixoise

ATA!!!!

9:22 am

Haz1558

Thank goodness, I'm not the only one who doesn't know.

9:22 am

Uneaixoise

she was Carmela on The Sopranos

9:22 am

sciencegeek

Well, I don't know either!

9:22 am

Haz1558

Hello Ata!

9:22 am

Uneaixoise

and has been on my TV show, in movies, on stage . . .

9:22 am

KatieMcG

I don't know either

9:22 am

Uneaixoise

*many not my

9:23 am

Haz1558

The name doesn't ring a bell at all. I'll google her to see if the face is familiar.

9:23 am

sciencegeek

not much for the tv

9:23 am

Judi

She plays Nurse Jackie, too. I think that show is till on. I wish I got the channel.

9:23 am

Uneaixoise

currently starring in the title role of Nurse Jackie on Showtime

9:23 am

Uneaixoise

snap, judi! LOL

9:24 am

Uneaixoise

amazed that so many didn't watch The Sopranos . . .

9:24 am

Haz1558

She's very attractive but not familiar at all.

9:24 am

Atalante

not familiar here either

9:24 am

Uneaixoise

haz, she's a brilliant actress and is also quite the activist

9:25 am

Uneaixoise

spoke at a rally for affordable health care in DC this summer

9:25 am

Haz1558

I'll keep an eye out for her from now on.

9:26 am

Uneaixoise

ok, 75 to go -- BBL -- byeeee

9:26 am

KatieMcG

we don't get nurse jackie over here and I never watched the Sopranos

9:26 am

Haz1558

Bye Une.

9:26 am

Aloyisius

bye, Une, hagd

9:26 am

KatieMcG

bye une

9:26 am

Judi

Must rent the Sopranos DVDs, Katie. GREAT show.

9:27 am

Haz1558

Is it not very violent?

9:28 am

Atalante

it always looked it from trailers!

9:29 am

KatieMcG

is day time tv always this bad?

9:29 am

Judi

Sopranos can be violent. Fights, shooting, a few dismemberings. Ya know - typical mob stuff.

9:29 am

KatieMcG

Oh I might give it a go lol

9:30 am

Haz1558

It looks lie the trailers were spot on!

9:30 am

Haz1558

What are you trying to watch, Katie?

9:30 am

Atalante

not too fond of dismemberment lol

9:31 am

KatieMcG

I have done murder she wrote and am now on to diagnosis murder!

9:31 am

Judi

Great writing and acting is what really makes it stand out. Oh - there's lots of sex too. Now, if that doesn't sell it, nothing else will.

9:31 am

Haz1558

Dismemberment would just about be as long a word as we could have in babble.

9:32 am

Vicuna

Plural it, Haz, and Bob's-yer-uncle. HEllo, all! Up to the usual mayhem, i see.

9:32 am

Atalante

just watch True Blood for that

9:32 am

KatieMcG

Hi Vic

9:32 am

Haz1558

Hello, Vicuna!

9:32 am

sciencegeek

i like Dexter

9:33 am

KatieMcG

without wanting to sound like a prude, but true blood had way too much sex in it for me

9:33 am

Aloyisius

13 letters.. Haz, how many letters in the longest word you have seen in a grid?

9:33 am

KatieMcG

I like Dexter as well but can only watch it in the daylight, managed to miss the whole third series so need to get it on DVD

9:33 am

sciencegeek

it is hilarious

9:33 am

Haz1558

I honestly can't remember, Aloy. Let me check, does Lickety not keep statistics on that sort of thing?

9:34 am

Atalante

13. cos the word stats only go to 13

9:35 am

Aloyisius

just looked.. 12 letters

9:35 am

Haz1558

cogeneration and mothproofers

9:35 am

Aloyisius

maybe we will have 13 one of these days

9:36 am

Vicuna

Yes, but have we ever had a 13, Ata? Not in Lickety's memory, so it would have to have been more than a few years ago.

9:36 am

Haz1558

If we do, you can be sure that !!! will have plenty of appearances in the chat.

9:36 am

Atalante

think we had 13 ages ago

9:36 am

Judi

Mothproofer. Now there's some juicy experience for a resume.

9:36 am

Haz1558

13 in the olden days when babblers entered words with slates and pencils.

9:36 am

Sally-catlover

So what would happen if the grade made a 14-letter word?

9:37 am

Aloyisius

lol Haz

9:37 am

Haz1558

Babble would explode.

9:37 am

Vicuna

And mailed the slates to Dr G?

9:37 am

Sally-catlover

grade sb grid!

9:37 am

Haz1558

Carrier pigeons did the job very well, I'm told, VI.

9:37 am

Judi

Yes, I think alarms would sound and the authorities would have to be notified.

9:37 am

Atalante

it wouldn't be counted in the word count I *think*

9:37 am

Haz1558

Some needed to go into weight training, especially for the longer grids.

9:38 am

Haz1558

These are questions which we need to pose to Dr-G.

9:38 am

Vicuna

I think it would be more humane to use parchment over slate in those cases.

9:38 am

Haz1558

We should request an open forum some time - 'Meet the Doc', that kind of thing.

9:39 am

Vicuna

"The Dr G is in."

9:39 am

Haz1558

Parchment would be fine except for the rain problem and the clouds etc. Soggy parchment is not good.

9:39 am

Judi

Oooh, good idea, Haz. He's so enigmatic. "Meet Dr. God at the stage door!"

9:39 am

Haz1558

Rankings would be a nightmare with people demanding recounts.

9:39 am

Judi

Would he show up in photographs, though?

9:40 am

Vicuna

Well, I guess it's a good thing we have the intertubes to carry our words now, then!

9:40 am

Haz1558

He is enigmatic, isn't he? He used to appear more often.

9:40 am

Atalante

I remember when he used to turn up almost daily

9:40 am

Aloyisius

maybe we scared him off, lol

9:40 am

Judi

Pffth. Poor sod. He must have a real job.

9:40 am

Haz1558

Those were the days, Ata.

9:40 am

Vicuna

Well, deities are like that, you know.

9:41 am

Sally-catlover

Was any current babbler here when Dr_God created Babble?

9:41 am

caitlyn

Good afternoon all......

9:41 am

Haz1558

Hello caitlyn!

9:41 am

Aloyisius

hi caitlyn!

9:41 am

Haz1558

We're in reminiscing mode.

9:41 am

Sally-catlover

Hi Caitlyn

9:41 am

caitlyn

I can see that LOL

9:42 am

KatieMcG

hi Cait

9:42 am

Vicuna

In the beginning were the words and the words were with Grid, and the words were Grid...

9:42 am

Haz1558

Maybe we should make a list of the questions we would like to ask.

9:42 am

Judi

I doubt any of us were present when Babble was created. It was back on the 7th day, I believe. We all just blindly walked into the light.

9:42 am

Haz1558

Or would that give him too much warning? Spontaneity is good.

9:42 am

Atalante

hi Cait!

9:42 am

caitlyn

We were never told that this game is so addictive though, perhaps we can sue DrG

9:43 am

KatieMcG

on to flog it now, oh the excitement

9:43 am

rururocks

I want to know if he is the band ZZ Top

9:43 am

Sally-catlover

Been watching Close Encounters again Judi?

9:43 am

Haz1558

Yes, but if we admit it's addictive, some do-gooder will try to shut down the site.

9:43 am

KatieMcG

me too ruru

9:43 am

Judi

No, Sally... Poltergeist!

9:43 am

Sally-catlover

Social Services will turn up at the door and threaten to take our computers away!

9:43 am

Atalante

he looks fairly normally really ....

9:43 am

Haz1558

So, remember, it's not addictive, it's mildly compelling.

9:44 am

Sally-catlover

Not seen Poltergeist.

9:44 am

Haz1558

How many adverbs do you need in one sentence, Ata?

9:44 am

Judi

Off for a bit. BBL. *POOF*

9:44 am

Vicuna

I could be declared an unfit parent... wait, that might not be so bad...

9:44 am

Sally-catlover

Does he Ata? Not seen a real picture.

9:44 am

caitlyn

True Haz compelling is fine by me

9:44 am

KatieMcG

me either sally

9:44 am

Haz1558

Does this mean that you know what Dr-G really looks like, Ata? Or are you just teasing us?

9:45 am

Aloyisius

yes, I am mildly compelled to get my "fix" each day!

9:45 am

Atalante

I do!

9:45 am

Sally-catlover

Cough. Of course, I only play because it's educational.

9:45 am

Haz1558

Bye Judi.

9:45 am

Carolryberg

I believe compelling is a major understatement!

9:45 am

caitlyn

LOL Carol

9:45 am

KatieMcG

*maybe ata is really Mrs Dr G*

9:46 am

Sally-catlover

Or even - gasp - Ata is actually Dr.G!

9:46 am

Sally-catlover

Or even - gasp - Ata is actually Dr.G!

9:46 am

Haz1558

It is a bit, isn't it?

9:46 am

caitlyn

I believe you Sally

9:46 am

Atalante

would I be trying to get divorced in that case??!!

9:46 am

KatieMcG

probably lol

9:46 am

Sally-catlover

Ooh, how did I do that?

9:46 am

Atalante

he has his pic up on facebook .....

9:47 am

KatieMcG

how did you find him on facebook?

9:47 am

Haz1558

So there ARE advantages to being on facebook.

9:47 am

caitlyn

His real face ??

9:47 am

Sally-catlover

In Babblers Worldwide Ata?

9:47 am

Atalante

because I know his name LOL

9:47 am

Atalante

no, he's not in BW, I don't think

9:47 am

Haz1558

I can feel a quiver of excitement reverberating through the corridors of babbleland.

9:47 am

Sally-catlover

Are we going to be thrown a clue?

9:47 am

Haz1558

I know his name as well.

9:48 am

Sally-catlover

How did you find out his name?

9:48 am

Haz1558

Because he has e-mailed me telling me to be good.

9:48 am

caitlyn

I have joined the babblers group on facebook

9:48 am

Atalante

I can't give someone else's real name out on the internetz!!!!!!!!

9:48 am

Aloyisius

9:49 am

Haz1558

Absolutely.

9:49 am

phaeton

9:49 am

Sally-catlover

Can't imagine what you did Haz.

9:49 am

Haz1558

Well, kind of. Not so much a telling off as a request to be good.

9:49 am

KatieMcG

having another coughing fit through laughing

9:50 am

caitlyn

I think there are about 50 babblers on it now Sally

Haz1558

Not as in making it go but as in putting the car in a particular direction.

9:51 am

Haz1558

I trod on someone's toes who didn't like his toes being trodden upon.

KatieMcG

9:52 am

caitlyn

Does that person ever appear on babble now?

9:52 am

Sally-catlover

You have a cat called crumble? Or are you just a messy ea5?

9:52 am

EvaNadine

*just realized that medicine is sitting on her desk. yknow, instead of being inside her body, making her feel better*

9:52 am

Haz1558

Anyway, what other questions do we need to ask Dr-G? Apart from what would happen if a 14 letter word appeared?

9:53 am

rururocks

utter pandemonium

9:53 am

Haz1558

No, caitlyn. Not for a while.

9:53 am

KatieMcG

lol sally we have 3 cats Rhubarb, Crumble and Custard

9:53 am

Sally-catlover

Which came first? Man or Babble?

9:53 am

Haz1558

Evanadine needs to take her medicine....

9:54 am

caitlyn

She has got a healthy desk though

9:54 am

Atalante

if I've been told to have a very quiet week, am I still allowed to play on my Wii Fit?

9:54 am

Haz1558

I'd like to know if he has a warning signal to indicate frantic e-mails from people when trolls visit.

9:54 am

periwinkle

hello all

9:54 am

Hello peri.

9:54 am

9:54 am

KatieMcG

hi peri

9:54 am

caitlyn

Hi peri
Only a little Ata

9:54 am

Haz1558

No, a quiet week means that. No Wii Fit.

9:55 am

Haz1558

Caitlyn's too soft. Give Ata an inch and she'll take a mile.

9:55 am

Atalante

*whiiiiine* how am I meant to be on a diet with no wii fit and short dog walks!

9:55 am

EvaNadine

i fear the "medicine head" feeling that awaits me -- i already have the normal "medicine head" feeling without having taken any meds!

9:55 am

Vicuna

Ata, you can do that balance one where you're supposed to sit and look at the candle flame.

9:55 am

Atalante

that one is soooo easy lol

9:56 am

periwinkle

Murphy's Law re pets: if you pet should decide to leave a present (peee, poop, hairball, etc) on the floor somewhere, one is sure to step right in the midddle of it :_

9:56 am

KatieMcG

i would worry about losing weight when you are better

9:56 am

Haz1558

But you must take your medicine, EvaN, you know it makes sense.

9:56 am

Vicuna

Right. Easy. What you're supposed to be doing this week.

9:56 am

caitlyn

Dont whine Ata!! Easy is good for a week

9:56 am

Haz1558

What did you step in, peri?

9:57 am

periwinkle

9:57 am

Aloyisius

AAAck, maybe we don't want to know

Aloyisius

9:58 am

Sally-catlover

Make sure you don't have bare feet next time peri

9:58 am

Haz1558

Funnily enough, I didn't even think about the cat, I was too busy wondering how to get cat sick out of the carpet.

9:58 am

Haz1558

Hello Judy!

9:58 am

KatieMcG

Rhubarb knows I am not well so has been bringing me leaf after leaf to bed for me, cute but gross at the same time, especially as she brought a slug in with one

9:58 am

CiociaJudy

Ata, I'm out of the loop--are you on doctor's orders to rest?

9:58 am

KatieMcG

me too Haz lol

9:58 am

CiociaJudy

Hi Aloy, Haz, Peri, Sally, Katie

9:59 am

KatieMcG

hi Ciocia

9:59 am

CiociaJudy

OMG Katie. I HATE slugs!

9:59 am

Atalante

9:59 am

caitlyn

Hi Judy!

9:59 am

KatieMcG

could have been worse at least she has gone off bringing frogs in

9:59 am

Atalante

awwww what a lovely cat! slugs ..... GROSS

10:00 am

EvaNadine

counting down to face on keyboard...

10:00 am

10:01 am

YUK, Ata

10:01 am

Haz1558

Thank goodness Scrabbler isn't around.

10:01 am

caitlyn

Good Eva you needed to take them

10:01 am

Aloyisius

OMG.. reminds of the horsehead scene in "Godfather"

10:01 am

Atalante

LOL yep! He couldn't quite manage a horse though

10:01 am

Sally-catlover

Our cats brought in 3 and a half rabbits one year. One was alive.

10:02 am

periwinkle

oh no, sally

10:02 am

caitlyn

Im glad I dont have a cat lol

10:02 am

Atalante

Really good thing Scrabs isn't here!

10:02 am

Sally-catlover

They were very anxious to help when I wanted to relocate the live one!

10:02 am

Sally-catlover

Sweet little thing, all trembly when I picked it up.

10:03 am

Atalante

awwwww

10:03 am

CiociaJudy

Ata--Well I'm glad you're well enough to grumble but take care of yourself!

10:04 am

CiociaJudy

geez; I hate when work interrupts my babble chat

10:04 am

Aloyisius

done, and I must be off.. fun chatting with you all, see you next grid!

10:04 am

rururocks

one of my roomate's cats ate another roomate's bird while I was in college.. it was an ugly scene.. feathers everywhere

10:04 am

Haz1558

Bye Aloy!

10:04 am

KatieMcG

never a good thing for a happy house ruru

10:04 am

CiociaJudy

10:04 am

Sally-catlover

Bye Aloy - and oh dear ruru!

10:04 am

Haz1558

You were allowed pets in college?

10:04 am

Atalante

my cat used to keep eating my brother's hamsters

10:04 am

caitlyn

Bye Aloy

10:04 am

KatieMcG

Congrats and bye Aloy

10:05 am

CiociaJudy

Yikes, Ru! And Hi!

10:06 am

KatieMcG

Nap time! 100 words down, will come back for some more later

10:06 am

CiociaJudy

Nap for me too Katie

10:06 am

caitlyn

Im going for a little while, back later be good!!

10:06 am

Sally-catlover

Well when my son was little he had gerbils, and one escaped. I came home to find it eating out of the cat bowl, while the cats looked on in disbelief.

10:06 am

KatieMcG

see Ata, taking a nap voluntarily!!

10:06 am

Haz1558

Nap time? But you'll miss out on TV, Katie. Are you wise?

10:06 am

Atalante

I did earlier on!

10:06 am

Haz1558

Bye caitlyn!

10:06 am

CiociaJudy

Must I be good Caitlyn?

10:07 am

helensgirlkid

One of our cats used to bring in earthworms - not to eat, just to play with. The second it rained she would run out and start gathering them. But they dry out sooo fast on carpet, so I took to scooping them up and taking them back outdoors as fast as they came in! Now she just plays with them outside - I guess it's worth getting a little wet!

10:07 am

KatieMcG

I have sky+ I can catch up later lol

10:07 am

Haz1558

Ah, the wonderment of technology!

10:07 am

KatieMcG

*poof*

10:08 am

Haz1558

You're not doing a very good job of selling cats to the non-cat owner.

10:08 am

helensgirlkid

enact

10:08 am

Sally-catlover

lol Haz.

10:08 am

helensgirlkid

Sorry, sorry - must move cursor before leave computer, never remember after. Hope PB good today.

10:08 am

Haz1558

Spangle can rest easy, she won't be joined by a feline companion any time soon.

10:09 am

Sally-catlover

I think if you love any animal, you put up with its unpleasant habits.

10:10 am

Haz1558

PB hasn't seen many inmates today, we're being all generous and not noticing.

10:10 am

Haz1558

Love conquers all?

10:11 am

Sally-catlover

Something like that Haz.

10:11 am

Atalante

or you just give them a kennel to banish them to

10:12 am

Sally-catlover

Shocked. Hobbit doesn't sleep in a kennel, surely, Ata?

10:12 am

Haz1558

Yes, a cold kennel and a diet of gruel keeps Spangle on her toes.

10:12 am

Haz1558

<--------- sleeps in a kennel.

10:12 am

Atalante

husband was very worried about Spangle the other day, in case she gets cold at night

10:12 am

CiociaJudy

All my cats I "inherited" from friends and horrible neighbors who don't take care of their animals.

10:13 am

Atalante

I assured him that you would never let such a situation occur!

10:13 am

Haz1558

She's incredibly hardy, she doesn't seem to ever get cold.

10:13 am

CiociaJudy

Yikes--that C word is in the grid. *skips over to PB*

10:13 am

Sally-catlover

So is there central heating in this kennel then haz? A smal log burner perhaps, and carpet on the floor.

10:13 am

Atalante

is she a little furnace, like Hobbit?

10:14 am

Atalante

underfloor heating would be good, like in Roman villas

10:14 am

Carolryberg

My dog <------ sleeps on a heated pillow on the floor by my bed. Not toooo spoiled.

10:14 am

Haz1558

Absolutely a furnace, she's just warm all the time.

10:14 am

Atalante

ditto Hobbitella

10:15 am

Haz1558

No central heating, Sally. Husband has always insisted on her sleeping outside and she's used to it.

10:15 am

Atalante

only ever known her to shiver once, adn that was last week!

10:15 am

Haz1558

Spangle has been known to want outside to sit in the snow. She just seems impervious to the cold.

10:16 am

Sally-catlover

Only teasing Haz. Our feline companions (careful to avoid PB this time) frequently sleep under a tree in the rain.

10:16 am

Atalante

wow, that's quite impressive!

10:17 am

Haz1558

We got a new kennel for her arriving and husband spent ages insulating it etc. I had an awful dream one night that Spangle had managed to drag it to the back door and had rendered it into match wood.

10:18 am

Haz1558

I was so relieved to waken up and realise that I didn't have to break the bad news!

10:18 am

Sally-catlover

So did she sleep there from a puppy?

10:18 am

Atalante

see ... it is insulated really :P bet she has a radiator and heated pad in there too ;)

10:19 am

Haz1558

She did. We had the kennel inside the garage initially and she had hot water bottles and things until she was a bit bigger. It was moved outside into the back garden once she was older.

10:19 am

Haz1558

So we're not really THAT cruel.

10:20 am

Atalante

we believe you ....

10:21 am

Atalante

after everything you said about being told to behave by DrG though, I'm not so sure

10:22 am

Haz1558

I know. A huge question mark hovers over Haz.

10:22 am

harpjane

hello 154 to go

10:22 am

Haz1558

Hello, harpjane.

10:22 am

Atalante

is it in sarcastic font? or bold, underlined font?

10:23 am

harpjane

i wonder if Dr. God would like to hear my confession? I need someone to tell me to behave!

10:23 am

Haz1558

Italics, with sparkly bits around.

10:24 am

Haz1558

Have you been bad, harpjane?

10:24 am

harpjane

um, that is a private matter between me and Dr. God, you silly!

10:24 am

Haz1558

You can tell us. We're very discreet.

10:25 am

harpjane

lol no i can't.....my memory isn't that good!

10:25 am

Haz1558

Darn. Can you not just make something up?

10:25 am

Atalante

oh wait, aren't I DrGod?

10:25 am

Atalante

excellent! go forth and tell

10:26 am

harpjane

is the no8 a noun?

10:26 am

harpjane

(trying to redirect the crowd...)

10:26 am

Atalante

as if you're going to get help after that!

10:26 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, harpjane

10:26 am

Haz1558

Yes. Thinks earls, dukes and counts.

10:26 am

harpjane

got it, and yes it is a noun!

10:27 am

Haz1558

(Making no4/4 that harpjane has secrets to tell but is not telling)

10:27 am

Sally-catlover

So you didn't believe me, huh?

10:27 am

Atalante

no4 made!

10:28 am

Haz1558

Have you got any studying done today, Ata?

10:29 am

Atalante

a tiny bit .....

10:29 am

Sally-catlover

Hate to leave this fascinating confession of sins past, but must go and shut up hens. Be back in a moment.

10:29 am

o-o

wonders if me 10 are recyclable ... could be used on christmas presents

10:30 am

Haz1558

Making no4/4 that Sally's birds could have landed her in PB if anybody cared to notice...

10:30 am

o-o

ne, that is

10:30 am

Atalante

why is everyone being so lenient today?

10:31 am

Haz1558

PB and its luxuries has no deterrent effect. We're trying a different approach.

10:33 am

Haz1558

I should walk Spangle, shouldn't I? It's still light and it's still dry.

10:33 am

Haz1558

And harpjane isn't going to cough up her misdemeanours.

10:34 am

Atalante

not very light!!

10:34 am

harpjane

um, harpjanes' only sin is an occasional word in the chog?

10:35 am

Haz1558

It's still pretty light, we're that bit further north.

10:35 am

Atalante

lucky you! dark here

10:36 am

Haz1558

Oh well, I had hoped for something more sensational, harpjane.

10:36 am

Haz1558

Unless you put the words in deliberately?

10:36 am

Haz1558

THAT would put a different complexion on things. Troll tendencies, very worrying.

10:37 am

periwinkle

first st6/21 pls

10:37 am

Haz1558

(trying to remember the last time harpjane asked people how old they were)

10:37 am

Atalante

very very worrying

10:37 am

harpjane

sins of omission and commission you know

10:37 am

harpjane

how old are you, ata?

10:37 am

Haz1558

I shall adopt an upright st6/21 and go to get Spangle's lead.

10:38 am

periwinkle

thanks, Haz

10:38 am

Haz1558

See? It's all coming out now. Harpjane is a troll, it's official.

10:38 am

Haz1558

Youre welcome, peri.

10:38 am

o-o

malfeasance misfeasance nonfeasance

10:39 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, that should have been.

10:45 am

Sally-catlover

Back. Sorry about inadvertent mention of which birds to be shut up. Have also fed the feline companions. Sigh. Life is difficult with so many words to avoid.

10:46 am

Atalante

just talk about dogs and ferrets

10:46 am

Sally-catlover

But avoid sea birds?

10:47 am

Sally-catlover

My brother had ferrets once. Looks around anxiously for Scrabbler. He took them out rabbiting.

10:47 am

Atalante

oh yes

10:47 am

Atalante

and worms

10:47 am

Sally-catlover

The worm word is not one I use all that often.

10:48 am

Atalante

Sally-catlover

Can't think why I can't enter bonce or bona.

i came home for lunch today, which i don't usually do, and some guy came to the door offering to clean one of our floors for free if we'd then tell people they did a good job. and he had handed me a flier but when i said i didn't really want to have them clean a floor today he took the flier back. well i thought that was odd because wouldn't you still want people to have your info so they could call you if they did want to pay for your services at some point?

11:54 am

Sally-catlover

Yes hurshy, you would. You should contact the police.

11:55 am

sciencegeek

sounds scammy to me

11:55 am

hurshy

so i called the condo management company and asked if they knew anything about this and said that the guy had mentioned someone in the complex whose floor they were cleaning and she said that the name mentioned was on the board of directors so i said, do you think we could ask him if he's having a floor cleaned, cause i don't want to call the police on them if they're really just carpet cleaners.

11:56 am

hurshy

and she called the person in question and it was true, but she was going to do something about it anyway bc the company isn't supposed to go around like that, it's against the condo association rules.

11:57 am

Sally-catlover

Good. After all, it's easy to find the name of one of the directors - and you might be reluctant to call them, as you were.

11:57 am

hurshy

i mean i feel like on the one hand, i did the sensible thing, but on the other hand, feel bad for suspecting a perfectly nice fellow with poor business sense.

11:57 am

Sally-catlover

He should have left you the flier with a phone contact on it.

11:58 am

hurshy

i should say so! my dad's a born salesman and would shake his head at such foolishness. :)

11:58 am

Sally-catlover

I will never buy online unless there is an address listed.

11:59 am

o-o

I would have asked the guy for three references and the name of his bonding company

11:59 am

hurshy

it just occurred to me that it would have been a very easy way for people to come around and see who is home at what time of day and whatnot... sigh.

12:00 pm

hurshy

i feel better knowing he's not a robber, though.

12:00 pm

Sally-catlover

Until you find the director has been robbed :-)

12:00 pm

hurshy

not but what you couldn't work for a carpet cleaning company AND be a robber...

12:02 pm

hurshy

he did seem like a NICE guy, though, which means he would perhaps be better off running confidence schemes than surreptitious burgles, should he turn his hand to crime.

12:04 pm

periwinkle

hursh, Nice has nothing to to with it, it is better to be safe than sorry, you did the right thing

12:04 pm

periwinkle

ca6/33 pls

12:04 pm

hurshy

i know. i just wish one didn't HAVE to be so suspicious.

12:05 pm

hurshy

after you put your cambell's condensed soup in the pot, you have to add a ca6/33 of water (or milk) to it.

12:05 pm

periwinkle

can't be too careful in this day and age

12:05 pm

o-o

ca -- a container topped-off

well, i must be getting back to the office. ttfn :)

dcseain

hi, jmc

12:57 pm

jmcnrick

mmmmm avocado

12:58 pm

jmcnrick

when we first ate them we cut them in half and filled the seed hole with mayonnaise --- about 50 million calories

12:58 pm

jmcnrick

whoo hoo judi

12:59 pm

1:36 pm

dcseain

hi, ata

1:37 pm

jacq

i have a dilema, should i log off here (sitting on bed nicely relaxed) and give the teens the laptop and log on to the desktop or not?

1:37 pm

dcseain

eh, they can use the desktop, no?

1:38 pm

jacq

nope it's in my room because they didn;t want it in their room

1:38 pm

jacq

suppose i should

1:38 pm

dcseain

ah, then yes, i'd yield it

1:39 pm

jacq

but it's mine!!!! (hugging said toy)

1:39 pm

jacq

yes i will, then i will be loved and they might even smile

1:39 pm

jacq

LOL

1:39 pm

dcseain

might, considering the ages

1:39 pm

jacq

fat chance of a smile

1:40 pm

dcseain

tom says he thinks it's fine time to show the kids the consequences of their decisions

1:40 pm

jacq

ok be back in a few, will make coffees too

1:40 pm

dcseain

and that the smallest of decisions do come with consequences

1:40 pm

dcseain

cool

1:40 pm

sciencegeek

my 8th period chemistry class makes me feel that I have entered the 8th ring of hell

1:40 pm

jacq

yes they do, and they do learn, bang about at night and you wake your baby

1:40 pm

dcseain

why is that, science?

1:41 pm

dcseain

LOL jacq

1:41 pm

jacq

ohhhh (((((science))))) my brother is a maths teacher, he says anything with students over 11 is hell

1:41 pm

sciencegeek

they dont do any homework they are ADD immature think they are smart and are insolent oh and never come for tutorials

1:41 pm

jacq

ok be right back

1:41 pm

sciencegeek

i have only 4 in this class but they simply piss me off on a daily basis

1:42 pm

dcseain

ah, that type. I find biting sarcasm works with that type.

1:42 pm

Atalante

how old are they, science?

1:43 pm

sciencegeek

i am the queen of sarcasm. i have been known to reduce 17 year old boys to tears....

1:43 pm

Michnick

Hi all. Oh Science, I think I was my chem teacher's student from hell. Smart as I was I couldn't get my head around chem (or wasn't interested enough). He promised not to flunk me 1st semester, if I'd promise never to take his classes again! LOL!

1:43 pm

dcseain

i had a teacher pass me in CompSci once with the same condition, michncik :)

1:44 pm

Atalante

Throw baby explosives at them. Thats what our chem teacher did to us when we weren't listening

1:45 pm

Michnick

And look dc, we grew up anyway!

1:45 pm

dcseain

hm. firecrackers as attention-getting devices. interesting

1:45 pm

dcseain

quite so, michnick :D

1:45 pm

Atalante

he was an ex-industrial explosives chemist. it was great fun!

1:46 pm

dcseain

i doubt that would be looked on kindly here by administrators and parents. Though it could be fun to try.

1:46 pm

Michnick

Yay, I hit the half way mark.

1:47 pm

Michnick

I think teachers in our day got a way with a lot more than today. In some way they are too restricted, but on the other hand both sides are more protected.

1:48 pm

sciencegeek

they dont understand that the brain has to be exercised in order to move things from short to long term memory. So I give them new material and homework and they dont do the homework and come in the next day as dumb as they were the day before

1:48 pm

Atalante

oh yes. some of the stuff we did at school and uni would be banned now! one day at uni, we were given a nice blue liquid to inject into crabs. it was only till we'd played around for a while and injected it in labcoats and stuff that they bothered to tell us it was cyanide

1:48 pm

sciencegeek

My chem prof in college used to throw small explosives at us as we went down the hallway

1:48 pm

sciencegeek

ata oh my!

1:49 pm

Atalante

lol yep, science! sounds familiar

1:50 pm

sciencegeek

anyway, these are spoiled righ kids who think they dont have to do anything in life

1:50 pm

sciencegeek

rich

1:50 pm

Atalante

ugh, hate american spoiled rich kids

1:51 pm

sciencegeek

me too

1:51 pm

Atalante

(sorry, they are just worse when they are american!)

1:51 pm

sciencegeek

i agree.

1:51 pm

sciencegeek

i have lived abroad and know the difference

1:52 pm

Atalante

a good friend of a good friend is one. He drives me up the wall

1:52 pm

Michnick

It has something to do with entitlement, but I think it is much more prevelant today in almost any advanced (Western) country. The rich kids here in Israel, in certain areas are spoiled in a way that is beyond belief.

1:52 pm

Atalante

He wants to be a doctor, but assumes his parents will pay to get him a place in med school, and then to pass med school, and then to get him qualified without doing clinical years

1:53 pm

sciencegeek

sounds too familiar...

1:54 pm

sciencegeek

bunch of fricking losers. I worked my little low middle class a** off for me degree in premed with high honors and paid my own way through college. No one did me any favors.

1:55 pm

Atalante

I just hope he gets a short sharp shock. I don't want my drs of the future to bribe their way through school!

1:55 pm

dcseain

with yall. the HS i went to had two types, those that got hand-me-down cars at 16, and the ones that got beemers, mercedes, and porsches.

1:55 pm

sciencegeek

cannot afford to have stupid doctors

1:55 pm

sciencegeek

dc sounds like my hs. i attended HSPVA and I was poor white folk

1:56 pm

sciencegeek

the rest lived in the high end neighborhoods. at least everyone was friendly. it was the dark ages and people still did their homework and had pride in their grades

1:56 pm

dcseain

i attended TJHSST. I'm sure it was not dissimilar in some key ways.

1:56 pm

Atalante

really - how possible is it for someone's parents to "buy" their stupid kid's way through uni?

1:56 pm

sciencegeek

our whole country has become "entitlement" crazed!

1:57 pm

dcseain

yep, science.

1:57 pm

dcseain

and ata, yes it is

1:57 pm

Michnick

Sounds like my high school also. I lived in a 7 br house with a huge yard, had my own car (a 12 yr. old pontiac) and was considered LOWER middle, the other kids weren't even considered.

1:57 pm

sciencegeek

i dont know, but some of these rich folks are on the boards of the colleges......and rub elbows with donors......

1:57 pm

dcseain

easier than you'd think ith enough money, ata

1:57 pm

Michnick

I don't know what schools you guys are referring to, I went to public school.

1:57 pm

sciencegeek

true dc

1:57 pm

sciencegeek

i went to public school. i teach at a private, entitled school lol

1:58 pm

Atalante

*sigh* you'd hope doctors would have to actual have brains

1:58 pm

dcseain

oh, science, that's worse

1:58 pm

Michnick

You may think I'm crazy but the reason I loved the Harry Potter series so much is because it so well depicted real life, including the obnoxious spoiled rich boy whose dad 'knows' everyone.

1:58 pm

sciencegeek

no not really. some of them take 4 or more attempts to pass their medical boards

1:59 pm

sciencegeek

i could not get in because i was put in the alternate list. i should have applied out of state, but did not want to leave my kids who lived with the ex at the time. so here i am teaching these little sh*ts

1:59 pm

sciencegeek

oh yes, malfoy! love to hate him

1:59 pm

Michnick

That's so hard science.

2:00 pm

sciencegeek

it is disgusting

2:00 pm

sciencegeek

okay enough gritching....42 words left

2:00 pm

Michnick

Way to go, I am just past halfway.

2:01 pm

Hawkins

sciencegeek, are you teaching right now?

2:01 pm

Hawkins

i'm manning a spec. ed resource room.

2:02 pm

sciencegeek

yes

2:02 pm

Michnick

Back to Babble, I am having the hardest time with the e's today.

2:02 pm

sciencegeek

i am so sorry i would NEVER take on that assignment

2:03 pm

Atalante

I've never taught below undergrad level, and am very glad of it!

2:03 pm

Hawkins

well, at least it has been quiet and not many drop ins. which allows me to catch up on paper work from my morning assignment of special ed. Transition students (18-21)

2:03 pm

sciencegeek

geez

2:04 pm

sciencegeek

most of those kids will end up in prison one day. my experience with resource (adaptive behavior) is that the public ed tells them their disability is ok, but in real life it is illegal to act the way they do

2:05 pm

Hawkins

I typically work with students who are severely cognitively delayed. I worked with students with behavior problems last year. most were in a day treatment situation.

2:06 pm

Hawkins

Some of my previous students are in community college working toward a mechanics certificate

2:06 pm

dcseain

what wonderful work, hawkins

2:07 pm

Hawkins

Thanks. It's tough, especially the amount of paperwork. but I do enjoy it.

and my mom's friend called them rotoraries

4:50 pm

Wolvie

many many more than that, although they are getting rid of them. TG

4:50 pm

gortmold

are roundabouts a bit of an oddity in the us? here we're just one roundabout after another, interspersed with the occasional bit of road

4:50 pm

dcseain

Western MA is much nicer than Boston

4:50 pm

Wolvie

that is the name in Ma, yep

4:50 pm

Wolvie

hi Reese

4:50 pm

nrkii

not the bit I grew up in, dc :)

4:50 pm

Reese\'s

we just had a round about put in where i live and i hate it haha although it does work well :p

4:51 pm

Wolvie

where did you grow up nrkii

4:51 pm

nrkii

Springfield

4:51 pm

dcseain

they're an oddity in most of US, gort. around DC and in Massachusetts and in Ohio, there are a good many.

4:51 pm

Wolvie

gort - they are not common off of the ea** coast

4:51 pm

dcseain

ah, yes. We have friends in Palmer.

4:51 pm

dcseain

my friend's mom is from Chicopee

4:51 pm

nrkii

there are a lot in new Jersey too, but new jersey also uses jug-handles very effectively

4:51 pm

nrkii

my mom worked in chicopee (as did I) for years

4:51 pm

dcseain

true that about NJ

4:51 pm

Wolvie

ah. I lived in Mass for 17 years, moving back north, either Ma, Pa, or Md

4:52 pm

Atalante

there's one in Astoria OR LOL. It traumatises all the locals.

4:52 pm

Wolvie

as well it should ata

4:52 pm

nrkii

I definitely prefer jug handles to rotaries/roundabouts... less confusion and merging needed

4:52 pm

Atalante

LOL yeah, it means they have to know how to drive

4:53 pm

Wolvie

in Mass, it was a big game as to who could ignore what they were supposed to be doing and get where they wanted first. lol

4:53 pm

Atalante

they are utterly essential over here

4:54 pm

Wolvie

driving aid. :-)

4:54 pm

nrkii

wolvie, where in MA were you?

4:54 pm

dcseain

Maryland now uses rotaries at many highway interchanges instead of clover leaves and traffic lights

4:55 pm

nrkii

seain, don't tell your friend I said this, but Chicopee is a good place to be FROM

4:55 pm

Wolvie

EEEK dc. ;-0

4:55 pm

nrkii

are clover leaves same as "jughandles"?

4:55 pm

dcseain

she agrees :) her brother lives in a group home in Springfield

4:56 pm

Wolvie

north shore first nrkii, then in Uxbridge. I just about bought a home with 10 acres in sept in W Brookfield, but the inspection fell thru

4:56 pm

dcseain

no, nrkii, a cloveleaf is a highway interchange with 4 loops connecting the two roads, no lights

4:56 pm

Reese\'s

whats a jughandle then? lol

4:56 pm

nrkii

ugh, so she still has to go back some times??? in Springfield these days, you have to keep your windows up and your doors locked and try not to drive through at night

4:57 pm

Wolvie

really? wow

4:58 pm

nrkii

Okay, in one hour I am going to our town's school board meeting because I volunteered to fill an open spot on the board and I have to be interviewed. Ack!

4:58 pm

Wolvie

woot! go nrkii

4:59 pm

nrkii

A jug handle is a half loop on the right side of the road, that you have to take to make a left or a u-turn. It's used on divided highways (where there's a barrier in the middle to prevent random left turns and u turns)

4:59 pm

nrkii

it makes traffic go quickly, because you're not constantly having to stop for someone turning left

4:59 pm

Reese\'s

ah

4:59 pm

Wolvie

Mass needs those on the north shore on rte 1 - big time

5:00 pm

nrkii

yes, I'd agree Wolvie... they're tough to figure out if you're not familiar with them, but the difference in traffic flow is really good

5:00 pm

gortmold

clue for the sn5 pls?

5:01 pm

Wolvie

I like jug handles - makes life easier

5:01 pm

nrkii

sn5 = something totally botched up

5:01 pm

nrkii

it comes from an acronym... Situation Normal...

5:01 pm

gortmold

oh,thanks nrkii, i thought it meant to grab quickly

5:01 pm

Wolvie

ty nrkii

5:02 pm

nrkii

I think it was a military thing, sn5

5:03 pm

Wolvie

what does the 8 start with?

5:03 pm

gortmold

5:10 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

5:11 pm

5:12 pm

gortmold

5:12 pm

Wolvie

it takes a bit to get it going, then it takes off Gwen. trust me

5:12 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have 2 more g's to go. Do you guys print out the clues?

5:12 pm

Reese\'s

farmville as in the app on facebook?

5:12 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

yep, i'm leaning a lot on the squirrel who dragged me into it.

5:12 pm

Wolvie

no - I am 2/3rd's done, will be going to dinner soon, so will finish up after. :-) but ty

5:13 pm

nrkii

I don't print them, I just keep them open alongside the grid when I am using them

5:13 pm

Wolvie

yes Reese

5:13 pm

nrkii

12 left here

5:13 pm

Reese\'s

ah, i dont like it much myself

5:13 pm

Wolvie

you can friend me if you want Gwen, be a neighbor

5:13 pm

gortmold

yeah what nrk said

5:13 pm

Wolvie

go nrkii go!

5:13 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Dumb question- how do you do that?

5:13 pm

Wolvie

it's a cute time waster

5:14 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

wolvie, sure, okay. can i find you of facebook as wolvie (she asked, expecting the answer no)

5:14 pm

gortmold

you email lickety and ask him to send you babble expert which allows you to have the clues juxtaposed (showing off there) with the grid

5:15 pm

nrkii

I just right click on the Lickety link and select open in a new window

5:15 pm

Wolvie

you mean lickety's? I just pulled it onto my desktop, and open it to do side by side Kap. I restrict myself to not opening it until 3/4th's done tho. ;-) self torture

5:15 pm

nrkii

then I move the edge of the lickety box till it is narrow enough to fit along side

5:15 pm

nrkii

Wolvie, I restrict to 90%, except when I can't, like today, then I go for 80%

5:15 pm

Wolvie

yes - we did a whole babble email go round - but you can find me under Sue Duff, Raleigh NC. :-)

5:16 pm

gortmold

the neat thing about babble expert is you can send words you've got from the grid, to the clues, so you can see what you've got and what you need, without coping and pasting

5:16 pm

Wolvie

that's what i do to lickety's on sizing too nrkii

5:16 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have 86 words left- but I could use the help

5:16 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

okay, wolvie, i'm friending you now (or whatever you call it) TX

5:16 pm

Wolvie

i don't copy and paste gort - i just type into lickety's

5:17 pm

Wolvie

LOL - okay Gwen.

5:17 pm

Wolvie

then I enter it into the grid - side by side

5:17 pm

sukee

Hi Sue :) How's life on the farm?

5:17 pm

gortmold

ok, so you sort of double up, wol?

5:17 pm

nrkii

Oh, I copy and paste from grid to lickety... can't deal with double entry

5:17 pm

Wolvie

wildcat from babble just found me. :-)

5:18 pm

Wolvie

yes, they are open side by side gort - independent, but both usable

5:18 pm

gortmold

is there a reason you're avoiding bab expert?

5:18 pm

nrkii

fireworks!

5:18 pm

dcseain

i don't use expert cause i use a mac

5:18 pm

dcseain

congrats, nrk!!!

5:18 pm

Wolvie

I don't double enter the whole grid - i just look for my blanks. visually, then i enter just the missing ones

5:18 pm

Wolvie

c

5:18 pm

Wolvie

Congrats nrkii!!

5:18 pm

nrkii

5:19 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

wow, that took less time that i thought, wolvie. and WTG nrkii !!! ~~~ !!!

5:19 pm

nrkii

Wolvie, I do exactly the same except I copy and paste when I first go to the list... saves me a couple of mins and fingers

5:20 pm

Wolvie

Gwen - just accepted you and wildcat. :-)

5:21 pm

nrkii

okay, have to go find some sort of snack so my stomach won't growl during the interview... I really don't know why I'm doing this, but I guess if I want to be president some day, I better start with school board

5:21 pm

Wolvie

oh. I don't do that much nrkii - i just look. maybe type 10 words into lickety to try them out

5:21 pm

wildcat17

(lurking .. :) wolvie)

5:21 pm

Wolvie

you can send me a farmville neighbor request Gwen - or do you want me to send one to you?

5:21 pm

gortmold

gortmold puts shiny TV smile on and says, "I use Babble Expert. It's the best. Saves me time and brain drain. New improved formula works even faster and it's 97% crap free!"

5:21 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

woot! back to farmville to make us adjoined (sound of chirping cartoon birds)

5:21 pm

Wolvie

Hey there wildcat!

5:21 pm

5:24 pm

6:00 pm

Kaplan the Magne

This is much slower than wordsplay.net, but I think harder because you actually have to know the words.

6:01 pm

DR1965

you will discover all kinds of new words when playing Babble

6:01 pm

Kaplan the Magne

But I can't use all those hard-found 3-letter words here, like cwm, ygo, ufo, tsk, goa, wae, hae, nae, vae...such a waste.

6:01 pm

aknitter

some real....some not so real

6:04 pm

jillibus

6:04 pm

lynxxx

6:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

There is something almost like a thing that u twirl in a parade- but not quite

aknitter

6:17 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It wasn't quite it- tho it is something i deeply rue

6:17 pm

jillibus

well, that was the re7, actually -- the 6 is singular of course

6:17 pm

jillibus

LOL, kap!

6:18 pm

jillibus

Well, I just flew through the Fs . . .

6:18 pm

KrisE

Miss Otis re7 isn't in this grid, is it? Not enough rs

6:19 pm

jillibus

Kris, you have to change the middle r to another cons

6:19 pm

KrisE

wow jillibus! I only have 10...

6:19 pm

jillibus

Oh, it took me a while, Kris!

6:20 pm

6:20 pm

KrisE

I have the re7 from the clues - just wondering why Kap is re7 instead of the word, since it's not in the puzzle -- too close to PB?

6:20 pm

jillibus

6:20 pm

kje

breakfast

6:21 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No, it's 4 the birds. Still can't find where to put that vowel in the austrailian wingless bird- am running out of options. Driving me crazy.

6:21 pm

LuwandaHL

hey everyone!!

6:22 pm

jillibus

hi Luwanda!

6:22 pm

Kaplan the Magne

D-uh

6:23 pm

Kaplan the Magne

At least someone other than me revealed the answer- I am learning the etiquette

6:24 pm

jillibus

Uh-oh -- another HUGE icon! Luwanda, please see my bio for an easy way to resize. Huge icons gum up the chog and make it all jerky

6:24 pm

LuwandaHL

i thought i reduced it. sorry

6:26 pm

Kaplan the Magne

At this point I need to print out the clues because I can't see anything more. I have 2353 points. Is that bad?

6:27 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

kaplan, that's good, and way more than me

6:28 pm

jillibus

Kap -- I asked before -- are you not using Lickety and entering the words there?

6:29 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No- I have to print it out to see it because it doesn't fit my screen together with the grid

6:29 pm

jillibus

oh -- you have to change your resolution

6:29 pm

Kaplan the Magne

You mean you enter the words on the lickety page? Let me check that out again

6:30 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i used to copy the clue list to word processor and erase them when I found them. printing it out sounds reasonable, as long as you don't mind the paper/toner consumption

6:30 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Too technical, even for a person in massachusetts.

6:30 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

um, what does that have to do with it? LOL

6:30 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I wasn't born here. Thanks folks for all your help.

6:31 pm

wht

Kaplay, cut and paste into the bulk add window on Lickety.

6:31 pm

KrisE

Kap, what are you doing in MA?

6:31 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Just living.

6:31 pm

wht

Or Kaplan.

6:31 pm

jillibus

Very simple, kap -- use the Bulk Add, described at the bottom. Then you'll see where your missing words are. Then you can enter them at the top of the list as well as in your Add Word

6:32 pm

jillibus

when you find tham and they go to the right place.

6:32 pm

KrisE

Something must have brought you to MA. Nobody comes for the cost of living, except from San Francisco

6:32 pm

welki

ahhhh, kap. what i do is make the game window a little narrower and make the lickety list very narrow, so that they both fit on the screen side by side. do you know how to do that?

6:32 pm

wht

He claims to have a life but he is playing Babble. Something doesn't match here. :^)

6:34 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I woke up here 30 years ago and decided to stay. I have to figure out the instructions you are telling me. Just because I have OCD doesn't mean I'm smart

6:35 pm

KrisE

perfect pastime for OCD Kaplan. I do what welki does

6:35 pm

KrisE

except I'm on a netbook tonight, so will Alt-tab my way when I get to the list, if I don't give up and watch The Biggest Loser

6:36 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

6:37 pm

meliae

6:37 pm

Kaplan the Magne

More like I just sort of settled here and got older...

6:37 pm

KrisE

I came in 1986 for a year...and stayed

6:38 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

you came from GErmany?

6:38 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I am making this much harder on myself by not using lickety. I will figure it out. Goodnight.

6:39 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

winco 1.98 milk cant beat that

8:33 pm

Pinikula

no kidding!

8:33 pm

Pinikula

Wal-Mart is close, too

8:33 pm

meliae

yeah safeway prices are just plain crazy

8:34 pm

Pinikula

and their club cards are worthless...

8:34 pm

meliae

yes, Wal mart is under 2.00 as well I think actually like 1.97

8:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

i was afraid of this...would have been better to not eat at all than eat this late. now i am hungry. i was not hungry before i began to eat.

8:34 pm

Pinikula

when I need bulk stuff, I'll still go somewhere else where the price for 2 is equivalent to safeway's 1

8:34 pm

meliae

yep yu used to get good deals with the cards now its a joke

8:35 pm

redturtlehead

Hi all, the milk thing. it depends on where you are. In Penna, it was like 1.65 but here in Florida, its 3.00 or more....

8:35 pm

Pinikula

yeah, I gave up the "privilege" of having club cards...definitely not worth it anymore

8:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi red

8:36 pm

redturtlehead

Hi TO.

8:36 pm

Pinikula

hopefully your pay is comensurate

8:36 pm

meliae

I saw somewhere else is doing 'cards' and was thinking oh brother, but there card was morel ike a credit card that gave you special savings if you had it.

8:37 pm

redturtlehead

Not really but its just we arent near any dairy in PA, the dairy was next door.

8:38 pm

Pinikula

ah....

8:38 pm

meliae

afk a sec need to go see what it making a strange noise

8:38 pm

lbdawger

hi red!

8:38 pm

Pinikula

hb ;)

8:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

i think fla has high food prices. i know this area does. in PA competition is fierce so prices are lower

8:39 pm

Pinikula

I don't think we have much competition here...you shop at the yuppy stores or you shop were you can afford... ;)

8:40 pm

Pinikula

(if that made sense)

8:40 pm

redturtlehead

Publix is very expensive, but Super target or gasp...walmart is ok, excepting the milk.

8:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

walmart is only as low as they have to be and in this area is not always the lowest for hba. nor food.

8:42 pm

Pinikula

I've never seen a Super-Target...

8:43 pm

Pinikula

the Wal-Marts here compete with Winco...Safeway, Albertsons, Market of Choice...well, they're the yuppy clubs ;)

8:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

AND you are stuck with the brand they carry, not the widest range

8:44 pm

Pinikula

there are definitely instances of that...

8:45 pm

Pinikula

...and there are somethings I don't skimp on like Kellogg's Pop Tarts!!!

8:45 pm

meliae

Market of choice has a like an totally awesome sell of one or two items but you must only buy those as everything else is super marked up

8:46 pm

Pinikula

and I think the store near campus rapes your wallet...can't believe it's that way especially so close to campus...poor students.

8:46 pm

meliae

wal mart is only good on a few items and then they get you on the others, I have leanred to buy staples at winco and fill in here and there from wal mart, like they johnsonville brats are super cheap at walmart

8:47 pm

Pinikula

Mel, we should go shopping together sometime...I love a good bargain!

8:47 pm

meliae

When I live in Bend oregon there were 2 different albersons, and Yuppie one with everything from caviar to reg food, and there prices on average were way higher than the other alblertsons across town

8:48 pm

Pinikula

isn't that just annoying?

8:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

uh oh...i am suddenly extremely tired

8:49 pm

meliae

I might drive you nuts lol I am a fast shopper I know exactly what I want and I zoom around lol, oh another thing wal mart's bread is highway robbery way cheaper at winco for good bread too not generic crap

8:49 pm

Pinikula

I agree, Mel...

8:49 pm

meliae

oh TO, not going to finish? perhaps you were just out of 'fuel' and the food you ate will kick in and give you energy

8:50 pm

Pinikula

...and if I'm a mission...we can race!!! but sometimes window shopping (with company, of course) can be rather fun (doing it alone sucks)

8:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

i need 95

8:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

i would have liked a smaller grid tonight

10:22 pm

Pinikula

10:22 pm

neilaso

ok

10:23 pm

Pinikula

Simply put, the goal is to find all the words (today's grid = 256) within the allotted 24-hour period...

10:23 pm

neilaso

does anyone ever find them all?

10:23 pm

Pinikula

...and enjoy great conversation with really cool people while you're at it! :)

10:23 pm

Pinikula

we often do, yes, neil

10:23 pm

For instance, I will probably finish (I hope)...I have 28 words left to find.

10:26 pm

Pinikula

If you'd like some help to get started, neil, check out Lickety's Babble Clue (list) link found below the grid...it will give you a list of the first 2 letters of all the words in the grid, their letter length, and point value

10:26 pm

neilaso

is that what the noobs do?

10:26 pm

Pinikula

(if you open it in a separate window and then set the grid and the list side-by-side, you can follow along with us as we ask for clues - that'll get you into the hang of it) :]

I want to give you a fair warning, the grid changes every 24 hours at midnight CST (USA); so you have just over 1 1/2 hours to find a bunch of words!

10:27 pm

Pinikula

It depends...some jump right in, some use "aids", some ask questions, some ask for the answers (which we don't give) :)

10:27 pm

neilaso

ok

10:27 pm

Pinikula

Oh, and if you get hooked, you will be assimilated, resistance is futile!

10:28 pm

neilaso

i saw something about a hydrocarbon...?

10:28 pm

Pinikula

You'll also find hints in the chog when people ask for clues...

10:28 pm

Nef

And lots of us Olt timers use Lickety too (but maybe not til we get about 1/2 way through the grid

10:28 pm

Pinikula

that was a clue, neil...but I forget for which word

10:28 pm

neilaso

ok

10:29 pm

Nef

that was for ce 6/21

10:29 pm

rururocks

hi guys.. back to finish

10:29 pm

Pinikula

You'll also hear people speak of Babblets (a word that commonly appears in grids); or PB (penalty box) - an imaginary place we send people for typing words in the chog (chat log)...fully stocked with lots of chocolate, of course!

10:29 pm

Pinikula

11:30 pm

meliae

If you take the train down remember to bring a blanket as it does get chilly at night

11:30 pm

stidmama

11:31 pm

stidmama

I haven't been on a train in probably 40 years (or more) LOL

11:31 pm

stidmama

couldn't be much more though, since I do remember being on a train!

stidmama

stidkid is NOT going to turn in all of his work on time this week. oh well. *resigned mama shrug* he has regular work to do in addition to catching up on work from being sick last week. His time management skills need refinement, too.

11:46 pm

11:46 pm

jmcnrick

hi jill

11:46 pm

stidmama

95 and I am done for the night. going to just visit for a bit.

11:46 pm

jillibus

gogogo jmc ;)

11:47 pm

stidmama

Jill -- I have something of yours at my house that I wasn't able to get to you. Shall I just mail it?

11:47 pm

stidmama

I feel awful sitting on it...

11:47 pm

stidmama

I might not make it North for at least another month.

11:47 pm

jillibus

might as well, stid, and let me know how much it costs (well, I'll find out when it arrives anyway)

11:47 pm

jmcnrick

*trying imagine what stid can sit on and still mail*

11:48 pm

stidmama

also, did Bugs show up today with any news on her nephew?

11:48 pm

stidmama

it's the size of a breadbox, jmc!

11:48 pm

jillibus

well, stid, there's no hurry -- the one I have is working

11:48 pm

stidmama

okay, if what you have is working, I shall get this one ready and mail it "soon" but not tomorrow.

11:49 pm

jillibus

Bugs dropped in briefly -- didn't hear. I also wonder how sprite made out with the neurologist

11:49 pm

jmcnrick

*mystified*

11:49 pm

jillibus

jmc, it's the filter part for a coffee-maker.

11:50 pm

stidmama

jill -- dog training advice please... Lucky is SO SAD that I am gone so much. he is quite a pest when I am home, even though I spend (what seems to me) a lot of time talking to him and playing with him.

11:50 pm

stidmama

oh jill! I wanted jmc to think we were up to something nefarious! like maybe the head of your unfaithful lover or something.

11:50 pm

stidmama

will he ever get used to my being away weekdays?

11:50 pm

jillibus

ROFL!!!

11:51 pm

jmcnrick

why would she sit on it?

11:51 pm

jillibus

stid, I'm no help there -- our dogs were seldom alone.

11:52 pm

stidmama

that's okay jill -- I'll ask one of our vets when dog goes in for shots next week.

11:52 pm

jillibus

Maybe you should get him a pet? No kidding.

11:52 pm

jmcnrick

its probably an age thing. when he gets older he will calm down

11:52 pm

MPittore

howdy all...very late start for me 162 left well I had fun anyway..that's the point...

11:52 pm

dicktrickle

try turning your back on him when he gets too jumpy and completely ignoring him until he stops and then as soon as he settles down lavish him with praise and attention....he will soon learn that the way to get you to play is to sit patiently and wait for you to come to him

11:52 pm

stidmama

jmc, you know that story in the bible about the lady who sat on the treasure and her father in law searched the whole tent but not where she was sitting...

11:53 pm

jmcnrick

lol stiddie

11:53 pm

stidmama

thanks dick! that has been sort of my approach... but maybe not consistent enough. I will try harder.

11:53 pm

jmcnrick

hi mp and dick

11:53 pm

stidmama

hey MPittore!

11:54 pm

jillibus

hi MPitt -- and haven't seen you in ages, dick

11:54 pm

stidmama

well, I am exhausted, stidkid#2 is STILL awake... and so much to do before school tomorrow.

11:54 pm

MPittore

stid listen to dick...that is the best advice...my niece is a dog trainer has a web site KKT dog training...and that's what she does...and she has trained really wild dogs

11:54 pm

jillibus

BTW, the next icon theme is Eagles.

11:54 pm

flosey

Hello everyone, hope tomorrow's is a smaller grid

11:54 pm

dicktrickle

yeah, consistency is always key...keep calm, be firm, and be sure to give him no attention for misbehaving...if he is missing you, he will probably be just as happy with positive or negative attention

11:55 pm

stidmama

btw jill, he was working on identifying locations of civil war battles and events... and mentioned he thought D.C. was "somewhere up here" (and indicated the great lakes region)

*sigh*

11:55 pm

stidmama

hey flosey! how did you fare in the storm?

11:55 pm

flosey

storm?

11:55 pm

dicktrickle

hey jilli...i'm in the process of writing my dissertation proposal so i'm not on here too often anymore

11:55 pm

stidmama

you know, the pineapple expresses that came through the last couple days.

11:55 pm

jillibus

oh dear! Kids don't even learn the geography of their own country?

11:56 pm

flosey

had quite a bit of rain, but wouldn't call it a storm stid

11:56 pm

jillibus

what subject, dick?

11:56 pm

jmcnrick

*waves at stidkid* I am in Houston in the state with the last battle of the civil war

11:56 pm

stidmama

they do jill -- but he isn't a map maker like his elder brother.

11:56 pm

stidmama

you got LUCKY flosey!

11:56 pm

dicktrickle

math education - the importance of authentic contexts to word problems

11:57 pm

flosey

guess we did, stid

11:57 pm

stidmama

of course I grew up there and have been to almost ALL of the battlefields and such, while he hasn't been further east than walla walla

11:57 pm

jillibus

we had LOTS of rain and high winds. Flosey lives in a valley.

11:57 pm

stidmama

wonderful topic, dick! so necessary for students to have real applications (in all subjects)

11:58 pm

flosey

yes, heard high winds - love to hear them - as long as I'm cozy inside

11:58 pm

stidmama

that's true, but I wasn't sure if the winds would circle around and come UP the valley. they do that sometimes to my parents.

11:59 pm

meliae

652 words is what I predict!

11:59 pm

stidmama

I am NOT going to teach math above 5th or 6th grade when I am certified as a teacher, but I sure appreciate having materials that are ...

11:59 pm

flosey

nothing violent stid

11:59 pm

jillibus

whoa, I'm not a numbers person but stid is

11:59 pm

stidmama

MELIAE!!!! *gets out soap to wash out meliae's mouth* the VERY IDEA~!!! *indignant mama look*

11:59 pm

grannyrose

ooooohhh, mel, you're my kinda gal

11:59 pm

flosey

oh mel, you wash your mouth out with soap

11:59 pm

meliae

11:59 pm

flosey

11:59 pm

stidmama

appreciate materials that are properly designed for the older students I tutor.

11:59 pm

grannyrose
