joshuavorbis

first one i haven't finished in a long time

1:55 am

jillibus

I didn't finish the two biggies before today's -- very discouraging

1:55 am

flosey

I don't know how players managed before Lickety posted his lists

1:56 am

jillibus

they were tough and worse with no Lickety

1:56 am

flosey

I bet

1:56 am

flosey

am sure I would not have lasted

1:56 am

jillibus

apparently they often didn't finish

1:57 am

flosey

I must start to allow a certain amount of time, and stop at that

1:57 am

flosey

can be too time consuming

1:59 am

eman

can i please have a clue

2:02 am

flosey

eman, you'll find a list of clues in Babblers Anonymous, in the "Friends of Babble below the grid

2:02 am

flosey

it gives the first 2 letters of words and the number of letters in the word

2:02 am

flosey

along with the total point count for the word

2:03 am

jillibus

flosey, eman is not serious

Sorry, eman, not able.

3:08 am

Atalante

you could give him a si6 :D

3:08 am

eman

atalante do you have some clues on some six letter words

3:09 am

Haz1558

I don't want to encourage...

3:09 am

Atalante

true true, wise as ever

3:10 am

Haz1558

Of course, there are different types.

3:10 am

Haz1558

I haven't read back but I've got the vibe.

3:11 am

Atalante

I have a grumpy dog

3:11 am

Haz1558

Purple collar stolen?

3:12 am

Haz1558

Bed shifted to a wrong place?

3:12 am

Haz1558

Paws refusing to be arranged properly?

3:12 am

Haz1558

Change of food?

3:12 am

Haz1558

Cut paw?

3:12 am

Haz1558

Forced to sleep in a kennel?

3:13 am

Atalante

all of the above and more!

3:13 am

Atalante

only a 20 minute walk this morning!

3:13 am

Atalante

another visit to the vet to sort out her poorly tail scheduled!

3:13 am

Haz1558

Made to dance in the street to earn money for Christmas?

3:13 am

Haz1558

A 20 minute walk? What unique form of cruelty is that?

3:13 am

Atalante

that too

3:14 am

Atalante

twice a day

3:14 am

Haz1558

So much worse than anything I could think of.

3:14 am

Atalante

I know. She's gone off to sulk

3:14 am

Atalante

I can feel the sulking vibes from here

3:14 am

Haz1558

Is this by order of the vet? Has she hurt something?

3:14 am

Haz1558

Has she turned her head to the wall?

3:15 am

Atalante

she's got her head down between her paws and is looking at my back accusingly

3:15 am

Atalante

no, it's called it being blooming cold and her owner being a wimp!

3:16 am

Haz1558

Could you not pretend to make a phone call to the vet and have a conversation along the lines of 'You really mean it? For the sake of Hobbit's health she must only have a 20 minute walk in this cold? I will comply but with heavy heart' She'll know every word and pardon you.

3:17 am

millsbooks

i have a lickety list or 22nd dec

3:17 am

millsbooks

oops for

3:18 am

eman

can some pleaase give me clues for the six letter words!

3:18 am

Haz1558

I've just looked but I think it was for a previous grid.

3:18 am

Atalante

she won't! she's far too clever to fall for that!

3:18 am

jillibus

When it was Dec 21 here it was the 22nd in Australia -- it was for the last grid. There's a list in BabAnon

3:19 am

jillibus

And your vibes were correct

3:19 am

Haz1558

Maybe YOU should develop a limp, Ata. Stop suddenly, cry out, seize your leg and look pathetic.

3:19 am

jillibus

And I'm off again

3:19 am

Haz1558

Hello, jill, I thought so.

3:20 am

millsbooks

ok thank you jillibus

3:20 am

jillibus

Just popped in hoping that someone would cope

3:21 am

Haz1558

That way, Hobbit will feel sorry for you, she wouldn't dream of imposing a long walk. You need to keep the limp and the moaning going.

3:21 am

Haz1558

We're not feeding, jillibus.

3:21 am

jillibus

I saw that

3:21 am

Haz1558

The use of the comma in that sentence is important, otherwise it might look as though we're denying sustenance to an esteemed babbler, and that would be cruel.

3:22 am

Atalante

maybe I should. but she's far too clever for that

3:22 am

jillibus

LOL!

3:22 am

jillibus

good luck, ata!

3:23 am

Haz1558

Mind games with dogs - someone should write a book of instructions on how to beat them at their own game.

3:24 am

jillibus

I hate to leave you but I must get some snoozing in.

3:24 am

Atalante

it's easy with labradors

3:24 am

Haz1558

Just give them food?

3:24 am

Atalante

and they'll follow you adoringly for life

3:25 am

Haz1558

Did you see Victoria Wood night on TV last night?

3:26 am

Atalante

no! but I thought of you when I saw she was on :)

3:26 am

Haz1558

I was rendered helpless by the end of the segment on Acorn Antiques.

3:27 am

Haz1558

And those sketches with Julie Walters! Her writing is so funny, she's a genius.

3:27 am

Atalante

could just imagine you there with a glass of cooking sheery in helpless fits of laughter

3:28 am

Haz1558

One character in dinnerladies viewed the prospect of a liaison with a Japanese man with dismay 'I don't have the pelvis for a futon'

3:28 am

Atalante

LMAO

3:28 am

Haz1558

Oh, I become incoherent, tears streaming down the face, it's not a pretty sight.

3:29 am

Haz1558

I agree, vel, I'm going to open a petition.

3:29 am

Atalante

3:29 am

Atalante

and makes you incapable of typing I see!

3:29 am

meliae

hmm ok is the word geist that means ghost I think, did I spell it right and it just wont accept it?

3:30 am

Haz1558

She took herself off to the kitchen to avoid the whole thing.

3:30 am

Haz1558

Yes, mel rather than vel. Sorry!

3:30 am

Atalante

sensible pup

3:31 am

meliae

yes, I spelt it right and it wont accept it, or have I just plain lost my mind, lol

3:31 am

Haz1558

Enable is the one with the questionable sanity, mel.

3:34 am

forwardbyfaith

how can figgy not be a word?? It's in a Christmas song!

3:34 am

Atalante

5:29 am

KatieMcG

NB, they are nice in heaven it's the other place that would be mocking you! lol

5:35 am

5:35 am

Nancy Boy

ugh, Katie, work?! what's everyone else up to this morning?
I'm watching 10 Years Younger. Barbaric but fascinating

5:35 am

Aussieme

lol mom2 !

5:36 am

KatieMcG

I got out of the drive but as it is my last day I have to do loads of work :-(

5:36 am

Aussieme

I am watching Muppet's letters to Santa (with my 3-year-old I might add)

5:36 am

KatieMcG

I bet you got to choose what to watch though Aussie lol

5:36 am

Atalante

poor Casty!

5:36 am

mom2han8

I just finished making the lunches, got my daughter up to shower, and am having my morning java.... lots to do today, but figured I would stop in for a bit. Ten years younger is barbaric, I agree.

5:37 am

Nancy Boy

oh Aussie, you can watch the muppets without children there at all :D I still find it so funny. I think they slip things in for the adults. I find the swedish chef particularly hilarious

5:37 am

kanet77

boo.. no 'laggy'

5:37 am

Aussieme

nope, i was flicking through the channels, and we just stopped at the muppets :)

5:37 am

KatieMcG

she took it quite well and isn't limping but Rhubarb and Crumble were horrified and have avoided me every since in case I did it out of badness

5:37 am

Aussieme

NB, I have Muppet's Treasure Island :)

5:38 am

KatieMcG

I love 10 years younger, not as good as the Swan was but still we can't have everything

5:38 am

mom2han8

OMG... you cannot even go to the mall without being insulted by someone at the pushcarts... you know... your nails are not nice, so please buy their product.. same thing with the hair straightening and face product people... I would NEVER let someone put me in a box and have others guess my age, LOL!

5:38 am

Nancy Boy

Aussie, I just bought that on DVD after having it on video for years...isn't it MAGICAL :D

5:38 am

Aussieme

it is NB, it is !! I love The Muppets !

5:38 am

mom2han8

If Muppets are involved it is watchable.

5:39 am

KatieMcG

I have a 'look' I reserve for anyone trying to sell me beauty products when I am shopping!

5:39 am

mom2han8

I just saw that in Manhattan there is a store where you can make your own Muppet.... I SOOOOO want one!

5:39 am

Aussieme

mana mana do do, do do do do !!

5:39 am

Nancy Boy

I think 10 Years Younger is great, although I don't see why Nicky Hambleton-Wombleton-Wimbledon-Kingdom-
Tinseltown is allowed to be on TV, she is evil

5:39 am

mom2han8

LOL Katie... yeah, I can handle it, but my teenager takes it to heart, poor thing.

5:40 am

KatieMcG

That's what makes it so good NB

5:41 am

eman

5:41 am

I want to make her a sign to wear to the mall that says: I like my hair, skin, nails... so please leave me alone... teenage self-esteem is precarious as it is!

5:41 am

lynxxx

muppet !

5:41 am

Nancy Boy

Don't salespeople usually use a compliment sandwich? "your eyes are excellent...using our products would illuminate your skin and help them stand out, emphasising their lovely colour," etc

5:41 am

KatieMcG

I like how clean is your house as well as I always come away from it thinking what a lovely hygienic house I have

5:43 am

Nancy Boy

if you get hassled by salespeople, ask if they have tried the products. If they say no, ask why; if they say yes, respond with, "well, they obviously didn't work for you," and gliiiide away

5:44 am

KatieMcG

sorry I can be no more help!

5:44 am

KatieMcG

Oh that is a good one NB.

5:44 am

eman

hifs

5:44 am

mom2han8

Yes Katie... I find it downright insulting, to be honest. Last week I asked this young woman if she liked her job (at the hair straightening kiosk) and she just kind of looked at me... I was like, you seem like a nice young woman... why would you want to do a job where in order to make a sale you have to point out people's flaws?

5:44 am

mom2han8

LOl Ata!

5:49 am

Atalante

it's for a commissioned piece of art :)

5:49 am

Atalante

pls someone tell mom what a Dalek is

5:49 am

mom2han8

I figured the Gap was universal, as it looks like I am one of the only Americans in the room right now, excepting Nan.

5:49 am

Nancy Boy

Don't take her to A&F though. My friend works there. She has to dance all day.

5:49 am

Gail

A Dalek is the archenemy of Dr. Who!!

5:50 am

mom2han8

I would not mind a job where I had to dance all day, LOL!

5:50 am

lynxxx

O know...you heard JB was making an appearance on the new DrW and thought you might get an 'in' if you designed some new dalek costumes?

5:50 am

Atalante

apparently he's not now ... but TW 4 is ready to go

5:50 am

mom2han8

OMG Lynx I must need more coffee... that still does not help... and I don't know who Dr. W is (assume JB is Jackson Browne, due to my icon).

5:51 am

lynxxx

Yay!

5:51 am

Atalante

sad sad case :)

5:52 am

mom2han8

O, I get it now... I have seen a few episodes of Dr. Who... must not have paid very close attention, LOL!

5:52 am

Atalante

:D

5:52 am

mom2han8

I will have to watch more closely... I actually like the episodes I have seen.

5:52 am

lynxxx

Well I know what Gap is, even if we don't have any stores here. I think Mom, you owe it to America to get acquainted with Dr Who (costarring sometimes John Barrowman)

5:53 am

Atalante

I agree

5:53 am

kanet77

i did my part as an american watching dr. who back in the day

5:53 am

mom2han8

OK Lynx.... will do.... like I said I have seen a few episodes.

5:54 am

kanet77

i liked tom baker. only caught 1 ep of the new series. w/ simon pegg as the villain

5:54 am

mom2han8

I never watched the old ones, just the new ones.

5:54 am

Atalante

its still onBBC America :) and Netflix!

5:54 am

mom2han8

Which is better the original or the new one? Maybe I will Netflix it.

5:55 am

kanet77

speaking of bbc shows, anyone ever watch 'allo 'allo?

5:55 am

lynxxx

You should watch if you can Kanet. It has matured very well

5:55 am

Atalante

if you like big special effects, the new ones. the old ones have the same powerful stories, just with cardboard boxes and loo rolls as props

5:55 am

mom2han8

It's weird... sometimes I get BBCAmerica and sometimes I don't... same with SyFy channel... I keep saying I am going to call the cable company to find out why... maybe I will do that today.

5:55 am

lynxxx

but of course Kanet

5:55 am

kanet77

i'll take a look, lynx. : )

lynxxx

OK grid except for last 40/50

6:05 am

kanet77

i caught one ep of torchwood w/out knowing its origins

6:05 am

kanet77

it broke my brain. (p.s. see the anagram of torchwood?)

6:06 am

Atalante

torchwood is the best thing ever

6:07 am

Atalante

well, nearly

6:07 am

lynxxx

Torchwood is consistently good but I think some of the Dr Who episodes have been brilliant

6:08 am

Atalante

oh lyn! I found out a wonderful thing the other day

6:08 am

lynxxx

However Torchwood 3 was enthralling!

6:08 am

Scrabbler

Good morning/day to all.

kanet77

hiya scrabs

6:09 am

Atalante

TW3 was quite incredible. It was the first time I'd cried over a TV programme for years

6:09 am

Scrabbler

Kanet--any luck with the job hunt?

6:09 am

kanet77

yes. if by "luck" you mean "enjoying time w/ friends and family" : )

6:09 am

Scrabbler

True, but do they give you $?

6:10 am

kanet77

oh sure.. focus on the bottom line. ; )

6:10 am

lynxxx

lol kanet

6:10 am

Scrabbler

I am practical and a planner.

6:10 am

Atalante

I phoned up my best friend in America at about 5am her time sobbing about Ianto dying LOL

6:11 am

lynxxx

now Ata, it's only a story - you goose!

6:11 am

Atalante

I knoooow, but it was sad!

6:12 am

kanet77

hey scrabs, are you hiring?

6:12 am

Scrabbler

((hugs)) for losing TV friend

6:12 am

Scrabbler

Nope, Kanet, we have an IT team.

6:13 am

Mudd

Lifts nose from grid, morning Scrabs

6:13 am

I overdosed on it a bit, watched each night, then the replay 2 hours later when Jess got home, then watched at ALL again on the Saturday with a friend.

6:13 am

rubyfoo

hello, I am still trying

6:13 am

kanet77

oh well, no jobs. i tried. that was tiring. i better relax some. ; )

lynxxx

hi Ruby

6:14 am

NonoNanette

hi ruby

6:14 am

Scrabbler

Hi Ruby + Nanette!

6:14 am

Atalante

I loved it, then got really cross with the whole fandom slagging off the writers and being bitchy to them, so I didn't watch it again for a while

6:14 am

Scrabbler

Kanet, that qualified as your job hunt for the day. Now you can have fun on the web all day.

6:15 am

kanet77

sweet! thanks for the validation, scrabs.

6:15 am

Scrabbler

You can check off a box on your daily to-do list..."Job Hunt"

6:16 am

kanet77

here's the real trouble: wrist pain from years of computering. so chilling on the web is actually doing damage. it's ironic and tragic.

6:16 am

Scrabbler

Get ergonomic, Kanet

6:17 am

kanet77

and the worst part is that i don't think i'm going to go pro. i need to get away from computers as much as possible. but i'm going to finish out my 2 wk trial period.

6:17 am

kanet77

i like it here. good folks

6:17 am

kanet77

yeah, i had an ergonomic keyboard & mouse. it's not enough.

6:18 am

kanet77

anyway.. didn't mean to railroad the conversation w/ my complaints

6:18 am

Scrabbler

You can always come here even if you aren't a "pro"

6:18 am

lynxxx

is that carpal tunnel kanet?

6:18 am

Atalante

well I think I'm going to go down to the farm shop to buy some banana chips so I can kid myself I'm being healthy. back shortly!

6:18 am

kanet77

oh, i know. but i decided to try for 2 weeks and see. my wrist are hurting more. it's pretty clear.

6:18 am

lynxxx

bye Ata

6:19 am

NonoNanette

bye Ata

6:19 am

Scrabbler

But the chat is a place where we can all vent and get validation, support, empathy...the plus side to this word game

6:19 am

Scrabbler

Bye Ata

6:19 am

kanet77

not carpal tunnel, lynx. but practically the same thing. a different repetitive stress injury.

6:20 am

kanet77

ata: go bananas! go, go bananas!

6:20 am

Scrabbler

I just confirmed that I do not like this grid. This one is tough!

6:21 am

kanet77

you're absolutely right, scrabs. having my wrists in constant pain really detracts from a lot of activities. for example, everything online. : p

6:21 am

lynxxx

BBS need to clean up kitchen a bit - have been making Andree's shortbread - a lot! they are great and simple/fast to make

6:21 am

Scrabbler

Wear cock-up splints--you can buy the velcro-strap splints at a drug store

6:21 am

NonoNanette

noooo lynxxx dont do it! you will make us all look bad

6:22 am

Scrabbler

Bye Lynxxx

6:22 am

6:23 am

Scrabbler

TY for voting, Bo

6:23 am

kanet77

do you know anyone who has had success with splints? they just seem to make things worse for me. also.. no hand!

6:23 am

Scrabbler

TY, Jay

6:24 am

Scrabbler

Kanet, you get wrist support but can use your fingers

6:24 am

Scrabbler

Voting is done. It's unanimous--grid is not fun. But we shall forge on anyway, right?

6:25 am

kanet77

i'm at 58. my goal is 73 (halfway)

6:26 am

Jayk

i've got 39 to go--forging on seems like a major slog

1:23 pm

jmcnrick

yeah basically ata

1:23 pm

I have read all of her stuff... not wild for anything BUT The Poisonwood Bible, LOL. Though she wrote this short story that I always remember about hermit crabs in Arizona. It was part of a collection.

1:33 pm

jmcnrick

me either kje but it is a book on growing all their own food for a yera

1:33 pm

kje

this grid is trickier than it looks

1:33 pm

mom2han8

I always read her stuff thinking it is going to get better, but it never does, LOL... but then my mother gave me Poisonwood and I have to admit that I loved it.

1:33 pm

mom2han8

She is a little granola crunchy for me.

1:34 pm

1:34 pm

jmcnrick

I agree mom which is why she was perfect for writing about sustainable agriculture

1:34 pm

mom2han8

I am currently reading John Irving's latest... and liking it better than anything he has written in a long while.

1:35 pm

mom2han8

My idea of roughing it is if the Hilton is out of mints!

1:35 pm

kje

what is it mom?

1:35 pm

mom2han8

I knew someone was going to ask me that KJE, hang on while I fetch it...

"Gwor Your Own Drugs" is a wonderful BBC book about growing your own herbs and spices and wonderful healing rememdies

1:36 pm

mom2han8

Last Night in Twisted River is the title.

1:36 pm

mom2han8

I barely have time for the drug store, let alone growing my own drugs.

1:37 pm

kje

that would piss me off, ata - deceptive title! ; )

1:37 pm

mom2han8

Also, I cannot even keep a cactus alive. So, we would all be living with our aches and pains, LOL.

1:37 pm

mom2han8

LOL KJE!

1:38 pm

Atalante

tis a silly title, but a wonderful wonderful book

1:38 pm

mom2han8

I recycle and we are looking at a hybrid for when we buy a new car next year. I do my part, but I am just not that crunchy.

1:38 pm

jmcnrick

I grow lots of herbs but spices other chinese coriander is beyond my ability

1:38 pm

jmcnrick

i understand mom -- i just like growing things

1:38 pm

kje

jac, since you have nbt - what is that right I?

1:39 pm

jmcnrick

(you probably over water the cactus)

1:39 pm

mom2han8

I tried growing herbs in my kitchen window last summer... I got enough parsley to garnish a sandwich... and that stuff is supposed to grow wild, LOL.

1:39 pm

jmcnrick

I even have two bay trees and saffron crocus

1:39 pm

jacq

in***** waters tend to be fresh and not salt like off***** waters

1:40 pm

jmcnrick

can you put it outside? parsley needs lots of sun and water

1:40 pm

kje

ty

1:40 pm

mom2han8

mmmm.... or NEVER watered it.... I used to joke that if they knew the condition of my houseplants they would not have let me take my daughter home from the hospital.

1:40 pm

jacq

ty

1:40 pm

kje

anyone use a greenhouse much?

1:40 pm

mom2han8

It was a fun little experiment. I am over it. I could have bought 18 bunches from the grocery with what I spent on seeds, dirt, planter, etc...

1:40 pm

jmcnrick

lol children tend to make their needs known in a more graphic manner by screaming

1:40 pm

kje

my new place has one, but I don't know how to use it

1:41 pm

mom2han8

I have absolutely nothing to add to a greenhouse conversation, LOL.

1:41 pm

jmcnrick

greenhouses keep things warm

1:41 pm

mom2han8

So far she has survived to adolescence.

1:41 pm

jmcnrick

so in the winter you can grow lettuce and such up north

1:42 pm

mom2han8

I may not survive her adolescence, but that would be another story altogether.

1:42 pm

jmcnrick

but in Texas things already grow in the spring and the fall so other than those rare rare frosts. . . .

1:42 pm

kje

jmc, really? how dumb do you think I am?

1:42 pm

kje

(no need to actually answer that)

1:42 pm

mom2han8

Perhaps I should invest in a greenhouse and let her live out her teenage years in there, LOL!

1:42 pm

jmcnrick

I say freeze them all when they reach puberty!

1:42 pm

jacq

lol

1:42 pm

kje

but they say growing in a greenhouse is not just growing outside stuff indoors

1:42 pm

jacq

i agree with jmc

1:42 pm

jmcnrick

sorry didn't mean to sound patronizing

1:43 pm

mom2han8

If only...

1:43 pm

mom2han8

I would have frozen her at 6... loved that age.

1:43 pm

kje

no need to apologize, i was teasing

1:43 pm

kje

ask a stupid question....

1:43 pm

jmcnrick

naw 13 is the age then thaw at 24

1:44 pm

mom2han8

ok.... I see... we are in SciFi territory here... So, I freeze her now (13) and she continues to age... got it!

1:44 pm

jmcnrick

the money you save will more than pay for the freezer storage

1:44 pm

mom2han8

OMG... the money is ridiculous.

1:44 pm

jmcnrick

absolute -- and she mentally matures as well

1:45 pm

mom2han8

I took her and 3 of her friends to their first concert the other night...

1:45 pm

jmcnrick

and some how gets a college degree

1:45 pm

mom2han8

I love it jmc.

1:45 pm

jmcnrick

and maybe a skill *goes to lala land to dream*

1:45 pm

mom2han8

Observing 500 teenagers in their natural habitat was certainly interesting!

1:46 pm

jmcnrick

a world with no teenagers sounds like heaven!

1:46 pm

mom2han8

One of the things I realized was that mine really was not so bad (not that I will ever tell her that)!

1:46 pm

kje

i hang out with teenagers all the time.... they are nice...

1:47 pm

jmcnrick

no my son and his friends were actually a lot of fun

1:47 pm

mom2han8

They are like toddlers, but with more freedom... completely unrealistic! But they have their moments. And at least mine is funny.

1:48 pm

mom2han8

Seriously, I love my daughter's sense of humor.

1:48 pm

mom2han8

kje... by choice???

1:48 pm

jmcnrick

yeah I wouldn't missed a moment of my sons life either even with all the trials and tribulations

1:49 pm

mom2han8

I agree... I am trying to take the good with the bad. So far, more good than bad.

1:50 pm

mom2han8

Our current bone of contention is how she thinks that her friends know everything (they know less than she does) about everything and her father and I are idiots!

1:50 pm

kje

yep, by choice

1:50 pm

kje

dtrs of a good friend... I do stuff with them several times/month

1:50 pm

mom2han8

Well God bless you kje!

1:51 pm

mom2han8

That's nice. They need other adults of good influence and character.

1:51 pm

kje

they are sweet

1:51 pm

bojazz

parenting - the greatest responsibility in the world!!

1:52 pm

kje

they seem more mature than many american teens... I think it may be because they have travelled so much, seen a lot from poverty in africa to riches in europe, and lived in denmark for about 7-8 years

1:52 pm

mom2han8

I understand from other people that mine is very sweet and polite, as well.... she says that she saves her bad behavior and attitude for home, LOL! My husband says we should be happy, as she knows she is unconditionally loved here.

1:52 pm

mom2han8

Yes bojazz it is.

1:52 pm

kje

likely true mom!!!

1:53 pm

mom2han8

American teens are fairly insulated... travelling is good for kids, I am sure... just not something we can do right now.

1:53 pm

mom2han8

I spend a lot of my time eye rolling,LOL...

1:54 pm

kje

if nothing else, they are very appreciative for what they have, that is nice all by itself

1:54 pm

kje

this grid hates me

1:54 pm

mom2han8

Mine is not so much materialistic...never really was... it is the social aspect that costs money... the movies, ice skating, etc.

1:55 pm

bojazz

I'm new to this - has there ver been a worse board?

1:55 pm

mom2han8

And some of her friends really seem to have unlimited resources...

1:55 pm

kje

lots, jazz

1:55 pm

jacq

mom people used to tell me my daughter was wonderful and polite and helpful and i used to look at them as if they were speaking in tongues

1:55 pm

mom2han8

Yes bo....but this one is persnickety.

1:55 pm

jacq

hello bojazz, this board is a little odd

1:56 pm

mom2han8

LOL jac! Mine is the only one with her name in town, so I know people are speaking of her... but I often ask if a new ****** has moved into town, LOL.

1:56 pm

kje

all kids are better with strangers... except the bratty ones whose parents never taught them... it is to be expected that they are mouthier with mom and dad

1:56 pm

Atalante

this is such a lovely grid

1:56 pm

o-o

Grids are subjective. The quicker you find the words the easier it becomes.

1:57 pm

Atalante

lovely apart from the last 4

1:57 pm

mom2han8

I agree BR... sometimes when people are complaining about a grid I might think it is easy... it just means that I broke the code to that particular one. I am not paying that much attention today, so I know it is probably me and not the grid.

1:58 pm

o-o

It is like I have said before, if people would find the words they cannot find first they would not have to struggle with them later.

1:58 pm

Atalante

I really do tend to find grids easy that others find difficult, and vice versa

1:59 pm

kje

ata is just showing off, jazz... ignore her... she can get a little smug

1:59 pm

mom2han8

Yeah... I am at the point... down to 41 where I need the harder ones.

1:59 pm

Atalante

*gasp*!

1:59 pm

kje

no gasping

1:59 pm

jacq

a lot of it depends on my frame of mind, if i am having a sane day then i manage well

1:59 pm

Atalante

I can't find my last 4, if that helps!

1:59 pm

The only problem with Avatar are the tv commercials, which are kind of lame for being such a fab movie. I think it might turn people off.

I rarely hop ..

mad?

4:55 pm

dcseain

not i. or did i miss something

4:56 pm

Christine

Hi, how is Tom?

4:56 pm

Nancy Boy

Just finished reading the report on what's gone on at Copenhagen :/ I was so furious

4:57 pm

inge

Hard to respect Global Warmning when Europe as well as the US East Coast is burried in snow

4:58 pm

dcseain

Ah, that went about as i expected, ala.

4:59 pm

Pinikula

ok...back

4:59 pm

dcseain

Christine, he's well. Back at work on light duty.

4:59 pm

Christine

Yay.

4:59 pm

Pinikula

the GT is planned and it's only a matter of time (and some driving)

4:59 pm

inge

DC are you still at Hollly"s place?

4:59 pm

Pinikula

hiya dc!

4:59 pm

Trifioso

nancy, I don't know where to get them, but I am loving www.refusetobeusual.com -- def check it out!

4:59 pm

dcseain

global wierdening is a better descriptor. Avg temp goes up, weather becomes odder/less predictable/changes other than anticipated.

4:59 pm

dcseain

hi, pini

5:00 pm

Trifioso

hello tor, by the way...

5:00 pm

redturtlehead

hi pini!

5:00 pm

Nancy Boy

As I expected also, but still I had some hope. I just don't understand how these people can gather in a group and say, "we must cut temperature rises by 2 degrees..." and then do NOTHING to make it happen, get in a strop and blame china

5:01 pm

dcseain

why blame only China. there are other developing economies that are similar, if not quite on the same scale.

5:01 pm

Pinikula

hey red ;)

5:01 pm

5:04 pm

sixty7stang13

TY all very much. Well I am off need to go wrap gifts.

5:04 pm

inge

Did you all get Dr. God's plea to sign up more pro babblers?

5:04 pm

aslindy

no, I did not hear that

5:04 pm

dcseain

eh, temps are relative. i got my shorts out for mid-30s when i lived in Boston.

5:04 pm

dcseain

indeed so, inge

5:04 pm

sciencegeek

yes inge

5:04 pm

Trifioso

no! apparently I am not much of a cash cow -- either that, or he knows he pretty much has my whole family already, lol!

5:04 pm

aslindy

was it an email? or a message here? or what?

5:05 pm

sciencegeek

email

5:05 pm

redturtlehead

I didn't but I guess we can all try. I think a lot of times we need to encourage regulars who arent pro. I waited about a year to go pro.

5:05 pm

dcseain

it was nice to get a clear explanation on how to gift :)

5:05 pm

aslindy

hm, I did not get an email

5:06 pm

dcseain

check spam for DR_GOD

5:06 pm

aslindy

oh wait, it would have gone to my other email account

5:06 pm

redturtlehead

ahhh was hoping anyhoo would be considered a word.

5:06 pm

inge

5:06 pm

Pinikula

it was a very nice email, dc...

5:06 pm

dcseain

5:07 pm

inge

Agreed

5:08 pm

redturtlehead

I wonder if he would consider a yearly dues....I do feel this is a great bargain on the net.

5:08 pm

aslindy

I did get the email.

5:08 pm

aslindy

gotta switch computers, brb

5:08 pm

Trifioso

i didn't :(

5:09 pm

If we were to pay annually Dr. God would go batty with paperwork. Time for supper. BBL

5:22 pm

torgone

Well, I hope she fell better this time and didn't get hurt ..

5:22 pm

redturtlehead

I hope so too torg.

5:22 pm

Pinikula

* blink * did someone fall?

5:25 pm

torgone

I meant to type "Hope you feel better Trifs" but I typed "Hope you fell better Trifs" and red jokingly rebuked me for hoping Trifs would fall, and then I replied jokingly, and that's about the story so far ..

5:25 pm

Pinikula

ahhhhh, get it now!

5:26 pm

redturtlehead

No no, trif fell today on ice and hit her face on a planter, for real!

5:26 pm

aslindy

sounds exactly like something I would do! both typing wrong, and falling!!

5:26 pm

dcseain

the cat is eating something in the corner of the rabbit age. hm

5:26 pm

Pinikula

OMG...is that the source of her headache???

5:26 pm

Pinikula

I do hope she feels better!!!

5:26 pm

cherlyq63

5:26 pm

redturtlehead

5:26 pm

dcseain

5:27 pm

redturtlehead

lol cherly, TOrgone makes everything more interesting.

5:27 pm

aslindy

my cats love to eat grass

5:27 pm

aslindy

they also loved the guinea pig food, when we had those

5:29 pm

cherlyq63

my cat loves dog food

5:29 pm

dcseain

yes. the rabbit was very confused, nonetheless

5:29 pm

dcseain

that's freaky, cherly

5:29 pm

stidmama

hello all! hey seain! hey red! tor???

5:29 pm

5:30 pm

redturtlehead

5:31 pm

stidmama

I think that down to 27 is good enough to go to the list...

5:31 pm

stidmama

26...

5:31 pm

Pinikula

i think so, too, stid ;)

5:31 pm

Pinikula

I need 1 more word to make it to 1/2-way and list!

5:31 pm

stidmama

hey again pini! told stidkid about your shared interest, and he is intrigued!

5:32 pm

Pinikula

I'll put some of my books in the car with me, then, stid...

5:32 pm

aslindy

I usually head to the list well before half-way. I'm too impatient to do that much blind searching.

5:32 pm

stidmama

not too many... he'd never want to come home! LOL should he bring his binder with his data?

5:33 pm

stidmama

YES! down to 25. I shall now list. brb

5:33 pm

Pinikula

I don't have a ton of them, but will bring at least one that shows my family name in the original villages in Russia ;)

5:33 pm

aslindy

I also have no problem using MoreWords when I can't find things. Kudos to those who don't use these things, but I don't have the time to find them all otherwise.

5:33 pm

Pinikula

if you don't mind his sharing it...we'll set a limit so it doesn't take over the entire visit! :)

5:34 pm

stidmama

I have been confined to spending only an hour for so many months due to school that I don't mind being able to sit for extra time as!

5:34 pm

dcseain

it amazes me the people that remember me, based on connections from the past in Facebook.

5:34 pm

stidmama

that would be a perfect choice. he is also very into geography

5:34 pm

aslindy

but that is why these are options... so each of us can do what works for us. =)

5:34 pm

dcseain

indeed so, lindy

5:35 pm

stidmama

exactly! I would rarely finish, even when I have time, without the list. and the lovely cluers!

5:36 pm

stidmama

is the AG 5/18 fishy?

5:36 pm

dcseain

it's a marble

5:36 pm

aslindy

yes, I appreciate those who provide clues, too. I try to help when I can, but not usually quick enough.

5:36 pm

redturtlehead

5:37 pm

Pinikula

5:37 pm

Pinikula

the only ag I had was a 7!

5:37 pm

stidmama

hey again tor! used to eating with a fork again?

5:37 pm

dcseain

now she's eating the mixed crumbs from triskets and pop tarts. she's in a grainy mood tonight.

5:38 pm

torgone

I meant it's not fishy if you're a Texas college football fan ..

5:38 pm

torgone

Like riding a bike, stid ..

5:38 pm

stidmama

*guessing seain refers to a cat and not his sister?*

5:39 pm

dcseain

5:40 pm

stidmama

took that long? wow.

5:41 pm

stidmama

of course, virginia is not that different from here, weather-wise so I suspect storms like this are always harder to clean up after

5:41 pm

stidmama

glad he's back to work!

5:41 pm

dcseain

totals across region ranged from 18 to 26 inches, mostly in the 20-24 range, so yeah, took that long.

5:42 pm

stidmama

gee whiz, as my late great-uncle used to say.

5:42 pm

Pinikula

5:42 pm

8:29 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i travel about 4 feet from home to work. (puter is right next to sleeping zone) 8-)

8:29 pm

jmcnrick

when I lived in Houston I would drive to school (15 miles) to work (15 miles) back to school (15 miles) and home (15 miles) all within the inner part of Houston

8:29 pm

dcseain

8:30 pm

Minveryork

I went from driving 1 mile to work to driving 55 miles to work. Commute went from 5 min. to over an hour.

8:30 pm

jmcnrick

I believe it science because I stayed inside the loop!

8:31 pm

Minveryork

So I drive about a total of 110 miles to and from work

8:31 pm

dcseain

i traveled 19.4 miles each way to and from HS.

8:31 pm

dcseain

most recent job was a pleasant 3 mile walk

8:31 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i like driving so i'm not really upset having to drive a lot. but I did have to go over a lot of the same ground twice today due to someone else's dumb mistake. Grrrrr

8:31 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

long commutes suck! i used to have one

8:31 pm

jmcnrick

*hands book a lollipop*

8:32 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

oh, yum! thanks jm 8-)

8:32 pm

torgone

I walked to high school one mile uphill both ways in the snow all year round with 50 lbs. of books on my back ..

8:32 pm

jmcnrick

8:33 pm

torgone

Until I got a car ..

8:33 pm

lbdawger

my commute is 9 minutes if i have early shift, 13 minutes if i go in at a normal hour. return trip however is usually 15 -20 minutes due to traffic

8:33 pm

sciencegeek

I would love my jewelry business to support me so I can STOP the 80 mile a day trip for ungrateful rich kids

8:33 pm

jmcnrick

8:35 pm

jmcnrick

grade school was five blocks

8:35 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i walked to school (seriously) till high school, at which point school system provided a bus, which happened to stop almost exactly in front of my house. after that i got spoiled LOL

8:35 pm

dcseain

Minver, growing up, my school bus stopped at the top of the hill and the bottom of the hill. Only students that got off at bottom lived down there. But no one had to walk very far uphill as a result.

8:36 pm

dcseain

i rode a bus all 13 years in school.

8:36 pm

Minveryork

Certainly got lots of excercise when I was a little kid

8:37 pm

sciencegeek

8:37 pm

8:37 pm

Minveryork

When my mother became a teacher in my school, we stopped taking the bus because we just went w/her.

8:38 pm

Minveryork

An sh5/16 word means to be more basful sciencegeek

8:38 pm

jmcnrick

8:42 pm

jmcnrick

8:42 pm

Minveryork

My Mother had all 4 of us kids at one time or another

8:43 pm

jmcnrick

I was the only kid who had my mother. my friends started calling her Mother too

8:43 pm

dcseain

though they say more on Xmas as wintry mix/freezing rain

8:44 pm

jmcnrick

for her eulogy I commented on how I was the only person who was able to see and compare her skills as a parent and as a teacher

8:44 pm

lbdawger

i can't imagine having a parent in the same school with me. it was bad enough my mom worked in the school system! she knew if i skipped class before i got to call her!

8:44 pm

jmcnrick

they are still too far out for me to believe them dc

8:44 pm

Minveryork

Friends called my mom by her 1st name because that is how they knew her before she started teaching.

8:45 pm

jmcnrick

they all called my aunt Sister too

8:45 pm

dcseain

with you there, jmc. i never believe a Winter forecast here until i see it

8:45 pm

jmcnrick

it wasnt so bad lbd since she was an excellent teacher

8:45 pm

jmcnrick

(so so mother)

8:46 pm

jmcnrick

I believe it when I see the radar dc

8:47 pm

lbdawger

now if you lived in a valley, you wouldn't believe the radar either.

8:47 pm

Minveryork

In my school classes were combined so the 7th & 8th grade classes were together. So 1 year it was me in 7th grade,my sister in 8th grade,and my mom as the teacher. Half of the family was together all the time.

8:47 pm

jmcnrick

probably not lbd but I have been watching the radar her for about 10 years so i a fair idea of where the weather is going

8:48 pm

jmcnrick

interestingly enough sometimes it snows to the south and the north and not in DC

8:48 pm

harpjane

well my father was a meteorologist for the us weather service; we always used to kid him about the weather bureau being the best place for a lyin' government bureaucrat!

8:48 pm

dcseain

true that, jmc

8:48 pm

jmcnrick

lol harp

8:49 pm

lbdawger

that happens to us a lot, jmc. radar doesn't work up here cuz of all the mountains. it bounces around.

friends dog got senile. He'd stare at the wall, or a corner for extended periods. He'd walk toward food, get 2/3 there, then turn around and go to top of stairs and stand for a while, before turning in circles for a bit.
