2:53 am

westford

you'd think I'd done something wrong when she opened it..I say if they're curious now is the time to feed that curiosity

2:54 am

jillibus

That's great! I guess she's been hearing a lot about China these days

2:54 am

jillibus

Oh? She didn't like it? Well, maybe she was expecting a toy.

2:54 am

westford

she was excited it was her parents that thought she was 'too young'

2:54 am

westford

she got toys too

2:55 am

jillibus

Silly parents.

2:55 am

westford

I know she's like a little sponge

2:56 am

westford

when I was about her age my aunt gave me a book about Greek and Roman myths and I've been interested in them since then

2:56 am

Christine

Cannot find that sw8

2:56 am

westford

I hear they are excellent guard dogs

3:02 am

westford

3:02 am

rubyfoo

great cat name, too

3:03 am

westford

she seems to like it but she was a stray so maybe she'd prefer her given name

3:04 am

rubyfoo

Our others, all now dead, were Rosie (shaded blonde), Rufus (same), and Cleopatra du Lac (Cleo, a perfect little black girl who died at 2 of a congenital heart defect).

3:04 am

westford

if you join you'll have to post a picture of them ruby

3:04 am

rubyfoo

3:41 am

1Grandma

Andree, Long time no see. No golf?

4:20 am

Christine

I hear my pillow calling; goodnight, all.

4:32 am

herinfernallady

hello?

4:33 am

Brookie

hi.. just have 1 hand free

4:33 am

herinfernallady

How you? I guess this means you have a bub on your hand?

4:33 am

Brookie

yes... r u well

4:34 am

herinfernallady

good. My cousin just had me in tears. he is such a sweet kid. he is going to right a song for his Grandad, his hero (his Grandad was my Uncle)

4:34 am

Brookie

Aah, both hands free now.

4:34 am

Brookie

How are you doing?

4:35 am

Brookie

Aw, that's so sweet!

4:35 am

Brookie

How old is he?

4:36 am

herinfernallady

He is 18

4:36 am

herinfernallady

am good. Just getting ready for bed

4:37 am

Brookie

Sorry I asked twice... our messages got crossed. Hope you have a good night!

4:37 am

herinfernallady

I thought I would watch this and er and then bed

4:38 am

Brookie

How, ER is still on the air? (I don't have a working TV so I'm out of the loop.)

4:39 am

herinfernallady

Ok I stuffed my gramatics up. I will play this grid and watch tv. No Er finished. But we are still on season 14

4:40 am

Brookie

Gotcha. It's 5:45 a.m. and both my children are up and playing with toys... which reminds me, I need to check my older one's homework!

4:40 am

herinfernallady

HOmework???

4:42 am

Brookie

He's 7 years old. I'm now checking his math. He has to calculate perimeters.

4:42 am

herinfernallady

erk. Math sucks

4:42 am

Brookie

Especially when my son doesn't believe me that a perimeter can't be an odd number, such as what's happening now.

4:50 am

Atalante

a perimeter of a what?

4:50 am

herinfernallady

Don't look at me i ahve no idea about maths. Hi Ata

4:51 am

Atalante

and hi :) hi herin!

4:52 am

Brookie

of rectangles... i should have clarified. Yes, a shape with an odd number of sides can have an odd perimeter number

4:52 am

Brookie

and hi ata!

4:52 am

Brookie

i'm an oddball who likes math... but ended up a french major

4:53 am

Atalante

that makes more sense :D

4:53 am

Atalante

or 4 sides with different lengths

4:53 am

herinfernallady

I have been looking at these products something that you mentioned in your profile Ata

4:53 am

herinfernallady

Brook simple way of saying it is if it had 3 sides what would it be?

4:53 am

Atalante

it's early enough in the morning here brookie that I wasn't sure whether my brai was going very very wrong or not :)

4:54 am

Brookie

true, ata, i was thinking of shapes with the same length sides

4:54 am

Brookie

triangle

4:54 am

Brookie

my brain is never fully functioning, regardless of the time

4:55 am

Atalante

nor mine usually with maths. especially when you look at a statement and just think hang on, that's wrong. isn't it? or is it? and start doubting your entire maths ability (which isn't much to start with) LOL :D

4:57 am

Brookie

I'm also now administering a spelling test for my son. The words he's learning (like "definitely" and "persuasive") are words that most American grown-ups can't spell!

4:57 am

Atalante

wow! that's impressive!

4:57 am

Brookie

Of course, I'm happy he's learning them now...

4:58 am

Brookie

is herin still there?

5:00 am

Atalante

good question

5:00 am

Brookie

Ata, I looked at your profile. I didn't realize there are Babbler teams?

5:01 am

Atalante

for the folding thing yep

5:02 am

herinfernallady

Yes i am sorry

5:02 am

herinfernallady

No Ata the thing about sanitary pads for women

5:02 am

herinfernallady

No Ata the thing about sanitary pads for women

5:03 am

Brookie

gotta change a diaper... brb

5:03 am

Atalante

you can still see that? how bizarre. I changed it to help crossy. but yeah ... that still just shocks me

5:04 am

herinfernallady

No its not there.

5:04 am

Atalante

I should rewrite it and add it back

5:04 am

herinfernallady

There is a company that makes reuseable products and they also make donation

5:05 am

Atalante

oh good for them!

5:05 am

Atalante

I just can't imagine ...

5:06 am

herinfernallady

the company is called New Moon pads I found them via a baby website. Research for a friend

5:07 am

Atalante

will check em out!

5:07 am

herinfernallady

I think its a wonderful idea.

5:08 am

Atalante

sorry brookie, this was something else I alsways had in my profile about a charity providing basic sanitary wear for women in Zimbabwe who couldn't afford to buy any

5:09 am

Atalante

with the price of the product maintained deliberately too high for most women to afford them

5:09 am

herinfernallady

They had boob pads and since my friend is having a baby I was looking at the price

5:10 am

herinfernallady

I know that Coles doesn't have GST on feminine hygiene products as it really is a double tax.

5:11 am

Atalante

there, I at least put a link back up, I'll find the blurb I wrote and add it back up when I can

5:14 am

herinfernallady

Is that Hobbit boinging in the snow?

5:15 am

Atalante

yes :D

5:16 am

Atalante

I took a few more today, I'll change it when I download them

5:17 am

herinfernallady

very cute booooooing

5:18 am

Atalante

she's very good at boinging!

5:20 am

herinfernallady

I think she looks adorable. I can't believe how cold it is for you lot

5:25 am

Atalante

it's bloody freezing!

5:25 am

herinfernallady

awww

5:26 am

herinfernallady

Its going to be really worm here

5:26 am

herinfernallady

Warm not worm yeesh

5:28 am

Atalante

I wish it was here

5:29 am

herinfernallady

yer well

5:34 am

herinfernallady

question

5:36 am

Atalante

yes??

5:38 am

herinfernallady

Would it be wrong of me to send a letter to the Department of Ed about a girl that is now a teacher that nearly broke my jaw in highschool?

5:41 am

Atalante

she obviously didn't get prosecuted etc about it?

5:41 am

SamanthaJoy

Doesn't seem so much "wrong" as "pointless"--hi herin

5:42 am

herinfernallady

no unfortunatly

5:42 am

herinfernallady

but it is disturbing that a person like that is a teacher

5:45 am

Atalante

it is, but they won't do anything based on an old incident that could be entirely justified for all they know (obviously it wasn't, but they don't know what happened)

5:46 am

crosshair

i agree,it would be pointless,kind of like me ratting on a guy who beat me up in 3rd grade who now just happens to be in a government position lol

5:47 am

herinfernallady

It wasn't I was sitting down and she punched me in the face. No questions asked. i hope she comes back to the state for the reunion so I can tell her what I think

5:47 am

lol jmc. We have had these cats since about 4 weeks old and they have never eaten anything but Hills. They will not eat anything - chicken, fish, anything - except Hills. However, I have some emergency cat food and if they are hungry they will eat it. The only other thing they eat is mice, but I draw the line at going out and catching mice for them.

7:56 am

jmcnrick

:-( but i can imagine! lol

7:56 am

jmcnrick

7:56 am

10:44 am

mkg

off to work. by all.

10:44 am

dcseain

be well, mkg

10:47 am

redturtlehead

me as well Dc, I have 32 words, and my icon is just of a dancing oyster instead. the kitchen was huge ad messed up...

10:47 am

mixi6

pb red

10:48 am

redturtlehead

Oh oh, Looking for word!

10:48 am

sciencegeek

pb red with those oy6's fry them up!

10:48 am

redturtlehead

Ahhhh!

10:48 am

redturtlehead

Well, My icon is a clue then.

10:48 am

dcseain

love your icon, science :D

10:50 am

dcseain

huh. Argentina has a bumper corn crop, with an extra 1.5 million tons for export

10:50 am

sciencegeek

ty dc always makes me luahg since i am a teacher and a biker

10:50 am

redturtlehead

Perhaps they could send some to Africa.

10:51 am

dcseain

hopefully, red

10:51 am

redturtlehead

How goes your Job situation DC?

10:51 am

dcseain

esstset, not esset for the German double-s, yes?

10:52 am

dcseain

i have someone trying to place me for 3-11 at a low rate. :/

10:52 am

Angelsong

hi

10:52 am

dcseain

i'll have to see how it comares to unemployment.

10:52 am

dcseain

hi, angel

10:52 am

redturtlehead

low rate is not nice. COnsidering your experience. But if it has nice benefits or something...

10:53 am

dcseain

yes, esp with 3-11 shift

10:54 am

sciencegeek

my nurse friend says 3-11 is not a bad shift.

10:54 am

redturtlehead

yes true. I admit though I think 3-11 is a pretty nice shift. you sleep at night, and have some day hours too.

10:54 am

redturtlehead

3-11 for nurses is pretty rare these days Sicence! most of us are stuck on the 12's But I love having 4 days a week off..

10:54 am

dcseain

though it eliminates weekday social time

10:55 am

redturtlehead

true if its each day. I forget that would be 5 days a week...

10:55 am

sciencegeek

4 days off would be great. NPR did a whole thing on nursing yesterday - pay is good from what i heard = makes me want to go back to school for an RN

10:56 am

redturtlehead

Pay is very middle class income. I think Science it is about the same as my sister makes as a Teacher. maybea bit more, or a bit less.

10:56 am

dcseain

Tom works 4 days in 10

10:56 am

sciencegeek

need the me 5/12 and 6/21 please

10:56 am

redturtlehead

Vacation time is a pain though. I have worked so many holidays and during bad weather you are always having to work when everyone else is off for it.

10:57 am

dcseain

BSN RN earns less than a MA Teacher here

10:57 am

sciencegeek

nm got them

10:57 am

redturtlehead

The BSN really means so little. But, I think it does help in the long run.

10:57 am

sciencegeek

well i teach high school - no masters - a bs and a ba with teaching cert hours

10:57 am

redturtlehead

And people do do all sort of gross things to you.

10:58 am

dcseain

Tom's BSN got him a 10% pay increase

10:58 am

redturtlehead

I am sure Tom has some stories.

10:58 am

dcseain

not leat in getting the degree awarded 7 years after he completed it :)

10:58 am

sciencegeek

well i guess i meant a bsn! sure a lot of my pre med hours would transfer into that

10:58 am

redturtlehead

Thats the hospital decision, some offer a bonus, but most really don't care. I recall TOm works for a pretty nice system there.

10:59 am

dcseain

Inova, yes

10:59 am

redturtlehead

Well, Science, the thing is BSN or AAS degree you all have to pass the Boards. Otherwise you can't work.

11:00 am

sciencegeek

of course, but i am sure i could manage the boards with some prep

11:00 am

redturtlehead

The prep would be going back to school. The boards in my opinion are pretty simple.

11:01 am

sciencegeek

i love being a student

11:02 am

redturtlehead

Well, I would recommend doing nurse aide work, before you commit to school, if you can tolerate it you can tolerate nursing. there is some statistic that almost half if not more nurses leave the professionentirely after 5 years.

11:02 am

jmcnrick

hi red and dc

11:03 am

dcseain

hi, jmc

11:03 am

redturtlehead

hi jmc.

11:03 am

sciencegeek

why is that? that is also the stats for teaching

11:03 am

oodleberry

hi everyone

11:03 am

sciencegeek

hey oods

11:03 am

dcseain

teaching, one is not wiping excrement from people and stenting blood

11:03 am

dcseain

hi, oodle

11:04 am

redturtlehead

The pay is not that good. Each day we are exposed to diseases that may kill us, people curse at us, pee on us, vomit on us, on occasion they hit us and punch us.

11:04 am

sciencegeek

that was the down side on the NPR story

11:05 am

redturtlehead

Hi Oodle.

11:05 am

oodleberry

where on earth do you work red

11:05 am

Atalante

but there's not only hospital nursing

11:05 am

redturtlehead

oodle I am an Emergency Department nurse.

11:06 am

Atalante

and hi :)

11:06 am

sciencegeek

well er can be a trip

11:06 am

dcseain

hi, ata

11:06 am

oodleberry

well you need another profession. this is NOT acceptable!!Â¸

11:06 am

redturtlehead

I can not imagine doing what the floor people do all day though I would rapidly find a new job.

11:06 am

jmcnrick

a lot of lawyers drop out too

11:06 am

redturtlehead

Oodle, I am quite happy with my profession.

11:07 am

jmcnrick

I think a lot of people pick jobs based on TV and are shocked by the reality

11:07 am

sciencegeek

Red, do you work for a county hospital or private?

11:07 am

oodleberry

oh ok, well if you are happy...

11:07 am

redturtlehead

Private, it makes no difference Science.

11:07 am

sciencegeek

jmc quite right

11:07 am

dcseain

we don't have county hospitals here in VA. They do in parts of MD though.

11:07 am

redturtlehead

JMC, I think you are right. Tons of kids in the ER tell me they want to be "crime scene investigators" lately...

11:08 am

sciencegeek

Red- just from experience, i thought county er was harder because you get all the gun shot wounds and the auto accidents

11:08 am

sciencegeek

trauma center stuff

11:08 am

redturtlehead

Trauma Centers get the Trauma Center stuff. Private or Public. But with the EMTALA laws we have to treat whatever comes in the doors, patients are no longer shuttled to another hospital.

11:10 am

sciencegeek

in houston it appears that most of the trauma cases go to one or two hospitals that are full trauma er's.

11:10 am

jmcnrick

if i were shot in houston i would want to go to ben taub

11:10 am

Atalante

but there's also nursing work in dr surgeries / community nursing and stuff?

11:11 am

redturtlehead

Thats how it is supposed to work Science, there is a trauma system. Trauma centers have Surgeons in the building and an OR that is staffed all hours.

11:11 am

sciencegeek

me too jmc!

11:11 am

oodleberry

ok I only have 223 more words to go whooooohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

11:11 am

redturtlehead

Yes Ata, but the pay for those jobs is a lot less than for Hospital stuff.

11:11 am

sciencegeek

or if you are in a bad car wreck

11:11 am

redturtlehead

I hope I never get shot!!! or in a bad wreck...

11:12 am

Atalante

but it's still a nursing option if you don't want sooo much puke and wee ;P

11:12 am

redturtlehead

But yes, there are levels in the US, Level one and two trauma centers, are the biggies, Level 3,4,5 are places that trauma should not go.

11:12 am

oodleberry

bbl

11:13 am

redturtlehead

Not if I want to pay my bills Ata!!! I mean the pay is really less, and there aren't that many jobs. Most MD offices hire Medical Assistants, and or the LPN's.

11:13 am

sciencegeek

31 left .....d, r, t, s

11:13 am

redturtlehead

Anyway...

11:13 am

mixi6

3 se's left

11:13 am

Atalante

that sucks. it's certainly an option over here!

11:13 am

redturtlehead

Science, when you do the grid do you systematically do each letter?

11:14 am

jmcnrick

me either especially in Houston! lol

11:14 am

redturtlehead

I gotta admit though, i like my job. I like working with patients. And I like the occasional adrenalin...

11:14 am

sciencegeek

well, red, sometimes, first i get all i can readily see, then i poke around randomly, then my OCD kicks in and I list and go through each letter (not necessarily in alpha order) LOL

11:15 am

dcseain

i do random until i stall, then work from Z to A

11:15 am

redturtlehead

I pretty much get all I can then list and go from a-z with list. I was just curious... Everyone has a system it seems. some people start from the top corner...

11:15 am

jmcnrick

that is my method except for the OCD part

11:15 am

sciencegeek

well, takes one to know one, jmc

11:15 am

Atalante

I just do it randomly

11:15 am

jmcnrick

i try for easy ones then nbt

11:18 am

redturtlehead

On occasion I have tried Z-A but I dont like it.

11:18 am

sciencegeek

i jump around....looking for ti 7.....

11:19 am

Atalante

ti7? oooo

11:19 am

Kallia

11:19 am

mkg

11:20 am

sciencegeek

11:20 am

redturtlehead

Science you dont want to know what I tried first.

11:20 am

mkg

nm got that one.

11:20 am

sciencegeek

do tell red! must be good!

11:20 am

Atalante

I did the same red :)

11:20 am

mixi6

tile stats tell you how many words can be made from each letter. Read the help (above the chat log)

11:20 am

jmcnrick

hi mix

11:20 am

sciencegeek

i think that men are always ti7 (your word red)!

11:20 am

11:22 am

sciencegeek

hi rolin -- I tried that one meself

11:22 am

Soodle

The digit in front indicates how many of the words you have got, and the last digit indicates how many there are in the grid.

11:22 am

mixi6

how many you have found.

11:23 am

sciencegeek

how many words you have from the total

11:23 am

redturtlehead

the A, there are 2 words that begin with that letter.

11:23 am

jmcnrick

how many of the words from that tile that you have found

11:23 am

mkg

1:03 pm

Atalante

It's very very good

1:03 pm

Atalante

but very intense

1:03 pm

Atalante

I watched about 3/4 of it and really needed a break

1:04 pm

Atalante

it's far too realistic!

1:04 pm

sciencegeek

Can I rent District 9?

1:04 pm

Atalante

I watched it online *whispers*

1:08 pm

Boobear

are there any a clues

1:09 pm

lynxxx

Goodmorning everyone

1:09 pm

dcseain

i have an ai4 plural

1:09 pm

Krysten

if it means anything to anyone, I saw District 9 in the theatre on opening day and it was extremely disappointing and horribly done.

1:09 pm

Boobear

hi lynxxx

1:09 pm

dcseain

morning, lyn

1:09 pm

dcseain

and an at4 plural

1:09 pm

lynxxx

Lovely phota again Ata - what IS in her mouth that ir making her ey** go mad

1:10 pm

Atalante

it's her ball on a rope :D

1:10 pm

dcseain

i've heard that from a few people, krysten.

1:10 pm

Atalante

I thought it was amazing

1:11 pm

Krysten

The story concept was good as was the underlying message but overal, it was so bad. My husband and I wanted our money back and we didn't even pay for it!

1:11 pm

dcseain

there's random ice around from the snow 3 weeks ago, and we're to get more tonight.

1:11 pm

Krysten

*overall

1:12 pm

lynxxx

I have just remembered what District 9 is, I really want to see that too. My Jess saw it twice and was rapt and another SF friend saw it too and was impressed

1:13 pm

Krysten

I guess for me, some of it was the "let down" of another "shaky camera syndrome" movie. After Cloverfield and Quarantine (not to mention Blair Witch), it's just too much.

1:14 pm

Atalante

well I didn't see Blair Witch or Quarantine or Cloverfield :0

1:14 pm

lynxxx

what did you think of Cloverfield Krys?

1:14 pm

EvaNadine

*slide tackles Ata*

1:15 pm

Atalante

1:15 pm

Atalante

1:15 pm

lynxxx

Now look what you have done Eva!

1:15 pm

dcseain

hint for left-column T pls?

1:16 pm

lynxxx

tw5.22 rhymes with opp of wetter

1:16 pm

Krysten

I liked it, actually. Strictly speaking, there wasn't much too it but they did a good job with keeping up the tension without showing "the monster".

1:16 pm

dcseain

thanks, lyn

1:18 pm

Atalante

back

1:22 pm

lynxxx

Still nibbling away at your games DC, doing the food one as well. Might be finished in another month. Thanks for the lnk

1:24 pm

EvaNadine

i slide-tackled her right out the door...

1:26 pm

Atalante

I wish my potato would cook *glares at it*

1:29 pm

[Ata's laser beams shoot out of her eyes and bake the potato instantly!]

1:29 pm

Atalante

car.eeyore

Have you turned the appliance on?

1:31 pm

car.eeyore

I am not asking these questions to be rude or imply that you wouldn't have done that...I just know that I forget to do things....

1:31 pm

car.eeyore

...and then I am stunned as to why my food is not ready!

1:31 pm

Boobear

hi car

1:32 pm

Atalante

LOL for once I managed everything and it *will* be ready in 4 minutes

1:32 pm

car.eeyore

Hey Boo!

1:32 pm

Atalante

it's just that 4 minutes seems forever at the moment!

1:32 pm

car.eeyore

Yummers! Baked potato.....drool.....

1:33 pm

car.eeyore

I am doing another weight loss challenge and I guess I am a little bit hungry!!!!!

1:33 pm

Atalante

1:34 pm

car.eeyore

According to the chog we have been talking about the potato for 4 minutes, so it must be ready!

1:34 pm

bojazz

Well, that was a long time ago, and we had an icon theme about things for the Penalty box. I had a ryal coffeemaker in my icon.

1:46 pm

bojazz

1:46 pm

car.eeyore

WTH! How can i still need 4 more DOT_ words?

1:47 pm

lynxxx

The Penalty Box is where you spend time if you put a 'word' in the chatlog

1:48 pm

redturtlehead

It often has lots of fictitious treats. and cabana boys bojazz.

1:48 pm

bojazz

1:48 pm

redturtlehead

and massages.

1:49 pm

Atalante

redturtlehead

1:50 pm

bojazz

1:50 pm

bojazz

1:50 pm

redturtlehead

No No a barista is a coffee drinks maker a Starbucks. But we of course have better than Bucks coffee at the PB.

1:52 pm

bojazz

1:53 pm

car.eeyore

1:56 pm

car.eeyore

how about te 7/28 then?

1:56 pm

lynxxx

you know barista isn't peculiar to Starbuck's Red, it is in general usage here. Italian in origin

1:56 pm

redturtlehead

I think the first it was introduced was at Starbucks in the US.... you know, un uncultured Americans!!!

1:58 pm

Atalante

starbucks -> common usage

1:58 pm

redturtlehead

Or maybe thats when I first heard it...

1:58 pm

Atalante

i wonder if starbucks made up the word

1:58 pm

lynxxx

No they didn't

1:58 pm

Hawkins

My husband uses the term here in Caribou Coffee

1:58 pm

car.eeyore

BBL!

1:58 pm

Atalante

did they steal it from Aus?

2:01 pm

lynxxx

It is Italian and seeing as they perfected coffee (in my opinion anyway)...

2:01 pm

Hawkins

I just looked it up, and it is Italian in origin

2:02 pm

Atalante

horrid stuff!

2:03 pm

bojazz

my son-in-law sells Italian coffee (Bella Latte) - certainly equal to Starbucks

2:03 pm

torgone

Starbuck's uses the term because it adds to the snob appeal for the posers they rely on to buy their crappy, overpriced coffee .. imho ..

2:03 pm

lynxxx

phhhtt

2:04 pm

lynxxx

(that was for Ata)

2:04 pm

bojazz

tell us how you really feel togone :)

2:04 pm

Hawkins

I am partial to Caribou coffee

2:05 pm

redturtlehead

I used to love the Caribou Coffee shop in CHapel hill Hawkins.

2:05 pm

redturtlehead

No Caribou Here.

2:05 pm

Atalante

not my fault I nearly die just looking at a cup of it!

2:05 pm

redturtlehead

Starbucks does seem to overroast the coffee.

2:05 pm

bojazz

they've gotten too big and lost their touch

2:06 pm

Hawkins

I really enjoy their Chai Latte

2:06 pm

redturtlehead

oh the te 7, was clued and then written into the chog, its phone males.

2:06 pm

Atalante

caribou coffee overcooks their cookies

2:06 pm

lynxxx

Sorry Ata. You miss ut on one of the true pleasures of life. Tea is lovely but a coffee

2:06 pm

redturtlehead

Never had Caribou cookies.

2:06 pm

Hawkins

I don't go for the cookies. The muffins are good

2:06 pm

redturtlehead

I always enjoyed the coffee and the atmosphere the Ten cent trivia.

2:07 pm

Hawkins

Yeah, My hubby runs the Caribou in Cambridge, MN

2:07 pm

Atalante

I like their teas though

2:08 pm

redturtlehead

I would love to have on here in town. We have Barnies and Bucks, but most of the young crowd hang out at Panera.

2:08 pm

Hawkins

don't know if they will be putting any down there

2:08 pm

redturtlehead

old crowd hangs at Perkins.

2:09 pm

Hawkins

my husband has a good group of regulars

2:09 pm

redturtlehead

Well, if they put one that has nice comfy chairs and wifi in Clermont, I will be a definite regular.

2:10 pm

bojazz

2:14 pm

Atalante

I'd love to have a good coffee / tea shop in town

2:18 pm

lynxxx

2:37 pm

lynxxx

2:37 pm

bojazz

just got an order for 120 gallons of paint - maybe i should get to work? bbl

2:37 pm

Atalante

she hates all toys, apart from one fuzzy reindeer and her ball on a rope. the ball on a rope is the Best Thing in her Whole Universe

2:39 pm

Atalante

does Stew have a favourite toy?

2:39 pm

Erinmillerx

clue for top i, anyone?

2:40 pm

lynxxx

Tug of Wars? I can't get Stew into toys either, usually just one furry animal he sleeps with and occassionally 'kills' - a polar beer at the moment, previously a white lamb

2:40 pm

Atalante

greek letter

2:40 pm

lynxxx

Eriin - I don't care one io**!

2:41 pm

Atalante

strange, isn't it! I've bought Hobbit so many toys and she's just not remotely interested. But the second you get out the BoaR or the reindeer, she's transfixed

2:41 pm

lynxxx

Stew ran after a ball - once. That's it.

2:41 pm

Atalante

looooooooooooooool

2:41 pm

Erinmillerx

thx atalante and lynx - I knew it but didn't think it was there!

2:41 pm

Atalante

Hobbit will run after balls and sticks. Then bear them off and hide them. None of this returning business!

2:42 pm

Atalante

I've tried to teach her to bring them back for 8 years now LOL

2:45 pm

lynxxx

and squeaky toys! Too scary!

2:45 pm

Atalante

oh yes! far too scary!

2:46 pm

3:00 pm

torgone

3:01 pm

jmcnrick

yeah i can always put on a sweater but there is a limit to how far i can strip in front of the 20somethings

3:02 pm

Atalante

i'm sure they'd be amused!

3:02 pm

jmcnrick

not my son -- he's one of them

3:03 pm

Atalante

tell him it could be worse, it could be a naturist office

3:03 pm

jmcnrick

lol

3:04 pm

Atalante

oooo sudden horrible cringy memory - my stepfather is a naturist - he used to open the door to my school friends either completely naked or wearing a thong

3:07 pm

jmcnrick

now see there! you wouldn't want me to do that to my son!

3:08 pm

Atalante

it's character forming :P

3:08 pm

jmcnrick

he's 24 his character is formed

3:08 pm

Atalante

nah, hes still getting there!

3:10 pm

jmcnrick

I met a liitle girl in Knoxville, a town we all know we4,
And every Sunday evening, out in her home I'd dw5,
We went to take an evening walk about a mile from town,

3:11 pm

jmcnrick

I picked a stick up off the ground and knocked that fair girl down.

3:11 pm

jmcnrick

Go down, go down, you Knoxville girl with the dark and rolling eyes,
Go down, go down, you Knoxville girl, you can never be my bride.

3:12 pm

3:13 pm

jmcnrick

the stanley brothers used to sing that

3:13 pm

redturtlehead

Can I admit, I am rather hating this grid. I dont want to finish but some part of my dutiful protentant upbringing is forcing me to do it

3:13 pm

jmcnrick

hi vic!

3:13 pm

hego

Fireworks! Whew!

3:14 pm

Vicuna

Remind me to stay away from Knoxville le4 random singers gratuitously knock me down with a stick.

3:14 pm

redturtlehead

3:14 pm

jmcnrick

whoo hoo hego!

3:14 pm

redturtlehead

cngrats!

3:14 pm

Vicuna

Yay for hego!

3:14 pm

jmcnrick

thank god i got rid of my Protestantism if would have forced me to finish a grid!

3:14 pm

Vicuna

If it isn't fun, don't do it, redturtle! (Except that i know the feeling we4.)

3:15 pm

redturtlehead

I can't stop.

3:15 pm

jmcnrick

*puts on Quaker bonnet over foil cap*

3:15 pm

redturtlehead

I just can't!

3:15 pm

Atalante

I'm glad my Protestantism doesn't make me finish grids!

3:15 pm

redturtlehead

cute look Jmc.

3:15 pm

jmcnrick

I think it looks especially nice with the white apron

3:15 pm

Vicuna

But jmc, Quakers ARE protestants, at least certainly historically speaking.

3:16 pm

hego

Oh come on Atalante, you know you finish grids.

3:16 pm

Vicuna

I do you one better, jmc. My foil hat is in the shape of a bonnet to begin with. =P

3:16 pm

redturtlehead

I was not going to point that out Vicuna.

3:16 pm

jmcnrick

i don't think so since the rose against the church of england

3:16 pm

Atalante

not at the moment I don't!

3:16 pm

jmcnrick

nice job Vic!

3:17 pm

hego

I thought finishing was a good thing. shucks. All for naught.

3:18 pm

Atalante

I normally do, just not at the moment

3:18 pm

jmcnrick

the church of england was protestant and we rejected it

3:18 pm

jmcnrick

:-P

3:18 pm

Atalante

I'm CoE

3:19 pm

hego

And after it took me 2 months to be able to do it. Oh,well.

3:19 pm

The picture of protentantism and QUakerism is not that clear jmc...

3:19 pm

redturtlehead

ml

3:19 pm

Vicuna

Well, yeah, but all the Protestant groups reject each other all the time! lol

3:19 pm

jmcnrick

well there you go ata -- you are a protestant

3:19 pm

redturtlehead

many quakers in modern day do consider themselves Protestants.

3:19 pm

Atalante

that's what I said!

3:19 pm

Atalante

though I was brought up in a Catholic school

3:20 pm

hego

I thought that all Christians who were not Catholic were considered Protestant.

3:20 pm

Vicuna

I think it depends whether you define Protestantism by its theology, by its history, by its not-Catholocism, or what.

3:20 pm

jmcnrick

pooh I disagree with Bill Samuels about a lot of things

3:20 pm

redturtlehead

But these days, if you look at some Quaker sites it states you can be a Quaker and Not be a Christian. which I find a little ridiculous.

3:20 pm

jmcnrick

no, actually some Anabaptist are quite clear they are not protestants

3:21 pm

Atalante

baptists, methodists, definitely not protestants

3:21 pm

hego

I guess they mean philosophically.

3:21 pm

hego

the Quakers, Imean

3:21 pm

jmcnrick

I have no problem with not being a Christian and being a Quaker -- I kinda draw the line at not believing God in some form

3:22 pm

jmcnrick

well that's silly because methodists are low church CoE

3:22 pm

Vicuna

Amen, jmc! But of course there are those who would argue that, too.... sigh.

3:22 pm

redturtlehead

I find it a bit odd.

3:22 pm

redturtlehead

But then again, Quakers always must be doing something they feel is progressive.

3:22 pm

Vicuna

Well, we are a pEculiar People, redturtle! lol

3:23 pm

Vicuna

Peculiar

3:23 pm

hego

I don't know, jmc. Spend years in my business watching people suffer and die and it becomes difficult to believe in a benign, loving god

3:23 pm

redturtlehead

Vicuna, I don't really think of Quakers as Peculiar people. I'm one, and I am not peculiar.

3:23 pm

Atalante

do Quakers not believe that Jesus is a saviour then?

3:24 pm

jmcnrick

many do and many don't ata

3:24 pm

jmcnrick

the Quakers in England mostly do

3:24 pm

redturtlehead

Ata, I had always been taught growing up that Quakerism is a type of Christianity. However, I was doing an interview with a friend for her religions class, and some web sites now say that it is not that way.

3:24 pm

Atalante

how complicated!

3:24 pm

Vicuna

There is no lump "Quakers believe" of almost anything, Ata. Some definitely do, some definitely don't. Many believe in the teachings of the historical Jesus, without the Personal savior aspects.

3:24 pm

hego

I'm a dirty papist and I don't think Quakers are peculiar.

3:24 pm

redturtlehead

I find it a bit complicated Ata. I sort of stick to what I was taught in school.

3:25 pm

jmcnrick

well we are offended that you don't think we are peculiar!

3:25 pm

Vicuna

Then we must be doing something wrong, hego! Though can you be a papist without believing in God? Or only a dirty one? =P

3:25 pm

Atalante

you can not believe in God, just believe in Jesus and Mary and the Pope :P

3:26 pm

hego

I didn't say I'm a non believer, I just said it's difficult.

3:26 pm

redturtlehead

One of the reasons I stopped going to some meetings for Worship was that people tended to want to "be led by God" to discuss the situation in Iraq for an hour.

3:26 pm

Vicuna

Ah, an important distinction, hego, and one worth serious respect.

3:26 pm

jmcnrick

there are three primary (and several minor) branches of Friends. Two of the primary branches believe that Jesus is Christ and one of them doesn't really care one way or the other.

3:27 pm

redturtlehead

I guess I went to school at the Jesus CHrist branch. Ha!

3:27 pm

Vicuna

That's too bad, redturtle. I also dislike meetings that are too political.

3:27 pm

jmcnrick

wht and I are on the general board of one of the Christian branch

3:27 pm

Atalante

so what does the third branch think Jesus is?

3:27 pm

hego

LOL Red

3:27 pm

redturtlehead

I mean it's one thing to really be led to say something about current situations...but....

3:27 pm

jmcnrick

what school red and I can tell which one it is connected to.

3:27 pm

Vicuna

WHat branch, jmc?

3:27 pm

hego

I like the open minded attitude of Qualers.

3:27 pm

redturtlehead

In Orlando they have a good solution. they have meeting for worship and right after "Meeting for learning"

3:28 pm

redturtlehead

I went to Westtown. We do the silent silent meeting.

3:28 pm

jmcnrick

well the FGC (Friends General Conference) accept people regardless of whether they believe in the divinity of Jesus

3:28 pm

Vicuna

Are you on the board of FGC, jmc?

3:28 pm

hego

see open minded

3:29 pm

Atalante

and how do Shakers fit into Quakers? Or don't they?

3:29 pm

Vicuna

(Oh, not if you said it was the Christian branch you were on.)

3:29 pm

Enomis65

good afternoon, how is everyone?

3:29 pm

Vicuna

They don't. Mother Ann Lee had some Quaker history, but she invented her own thing.

3:29 pm

hego

Don't ask!

3:29 pm

Vicuna

Hello, Enomis.

3:30 pm

hego

hi eno

3:30 pm

redturtlehead

The shakers were really rather different.

3:30 pm

Atalante

ah ok!

3:30 pm

Enomis65

shakers... I guess I,ll go down the chat log...LOL

3:30 pm

Vicuna

(ANd for "rather" read "totally.")

3:31 pm

KrisE

3:31 pm

hego

I tried to save you eno

3:31 pm

redturtlehead

Well, they bpth have er at the end on their names.

3:31 pm

jmcnrick

Westtown is under the care of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting and is an FGC affiliated YM

3:31 pm

Vicuna

lol, redturtle. -aker endings, actually.

3:31 pm

Atalante

lol we were always taught that the Shakers were a "extreme" form of the Quakers

3:31 pm

KrisE

just popped in to say hi

3:31 pm

KrisE

off agan for a few *poof*

3:31 pm

hego

hi Kris

3:31 pm

Vicuna

Nah. you were misinformed.

3:32 pm

Vicuna

Hello, KrisE. Errr, I mean, goodbye!

3:32 pm

Atalante

isn't babble great!

3:32 pm

Enomis65

oh my God, you guys are really serious and intense... trying to escape a tough grid?...

3:32 pm

jmcnrick

shakers, based on the dreams of Mother Ann Lee, believed in the absolute separation of the sexes and therefore you were never born a Shaker

3:32 pm

hego

See Eno

3:32 pm

jmcnrick

hi bye kris

3:32 pm

jmcnrick

not serious just talking

3:32 pm

redturtlehead

I do hate this grid enomis.

3:33 pm

Vicuna

We're not serious, Enomis! We are discussing theology AND throwing cream pies!

3:33 pm

jmcnrick

*wipes chocolate cream pie off bonnet*

3:33 pm

hego

I want a cream pie.

3:33 pm

Enomis65

thought so... cream pies... hmmmm can i have a strawberry coulis on it?

3:33 pm

redturtlehead

I want someone to cook me dinner.

3:33 pm

Vicuna

(The real reason Quakers wore dark clothes -- to hide the chocolate cream stains.)

3:33 pm

redturtlehead

and then give me a cream pie!

3:33 pm

jmcnrick

Next time throw something that won't stain my bonnet

3:33 pm

hego

yum!

3:34 pm

Enomis65

me too me too red!

3:34 pm

car.eeyore

Is the se 9 an obvious word?

3:34 pm

redturtlehead

Ahhh, and we thought it was simplicity, dark goes with everything.

3:34 pm

hego

NO!

3:35 pm

Vicuna

It goes with everything... but it REALLY goes with chocolate.

3:35 pm

hego

Hi car

3:35 pm

Atalante

Enomis65

3:35 pm

car.eeyore

Hi! Just trying to get my last word....

3:35 pm

3:35 pm

jmcnrick

hego

3:35 pm

jmcnrick

hi silverclaws

3:35 pm

redturtlehead

Your bonnet isn't gray? Oh my.

3:35 pm

Vicuna

3:35 pm

Atalante

3:36 pm

car.eeyore

TY! Fireworks!

3:36 pm

Enomis65

yeah car!

3:36 pm

hego

No,no they're mad at people who finish today!

3:36 pm

Vicuna

It's her cap, I think, redturtle, not her street bonnet.

3:36 pm

Vicuna

Yay for car.eeyore!

3:36 pm

hego

you'll be snapped at.

3:37 pm

car.eeyore

Anyone need clues before I go?

3:37 pm

redturtlehead

OMG, a street bonnet. Like ilicit street drugs?

3:37 pm

Atalante

it's really interesting - it's a mix between a modern-day story about a sect of extreme Mormons who practice polygamy and the "diary" of Ann Eliza Young - Brigham Young's 19th wife. It's definitely fiction, but theres a lot of fact in there too. It's quite fascinating

3:37 pm

hego

Anyway,yw car.

3:37 pm

Vicuna

lol, redturtle!

3:37 pm

car.eeyore

Couldn't have done it without you Hego!

3:37 pm

jmcnrick

i guess i will have to make a foil bonnet

3:38 pm

hego

Read "Under the banner of Heaven"

3:38 pm

hego

Oh thankyou so much Car

3:38 pm

car.eeyore

Well, I must go shaker my bonnet and get my boys some dinner like a proper wife and mother! Tee hee!

3:39 pm

jmcnrick

my husbands great grandfather founded Ricks College (now part of Brigham Young University) so I can always impress mormans with my connection

3:39 pm

redturtlehead

FUnny car!

3:39 pm

jmcnrick

so proper car!

3:39 pm

Vicuna

Bye, car.eeyore!

3:39 pm

Enomis65

ok going to cook dinner, be back later... maybe... not a fun grid.

3:39 pm

car.eeyore

Oooh! Very impressive JMC!

3:39 pm

jmcnrick

bye eno

3:39 pm

hego

Bye Car and bye All.

3:39 pm

Atalante

jmcnrick

3:39 pm

Vicuna

Bye, Enomis!

3:39 pm

jmcnrick

it is fun to drop the name

3:39 pm

Atalante

it's a book definitely worth reading, jmc

3:40 pm

jmcnrick

the Herb Block award was given this year to the editorial cartoonist of the Salt Lake City newspaper and we got into a great conversation with that entre

3:41 pm

jmcnrick

i will put it on my list but i just got a box of books from my mothers estate that will be taking up quite some time

3:41 pm

Atalante

my best friend's family are Mormon, I find some of her tales fascinating

3:42 pm

Atalante

you can never have too many books in the queue!

3:42 pm

jmcnrick

I am glad I have a few more years ahead of me ata!

3:44 pm

jmcnrick

help with the A -- I have the feeds my face one

3:44 pm

Vicuna

take the first letter off fish-catching food

3:44 pm

Vicuna

It's a homophone of the one you have.

3:44 pm

redturtlehead

I've known some mormons.

3:45 pm

redturtlehead

And with that un brilliant statement I am going to go get dinner prepared.

3:45 pm

Atalante

looooool

3:45 pm

jmcnrick

I kept throwing a gratuitous E in that word ty vic

3:45 pm

Vicuna

lol, redturtle. Goodbye!

3:45 pm

jmcnrick

ty red for that insight! lol bye

3:48 pm

Atalante

I knew a Wiccan once *adds to the religious tally*

3:49 pm

redturtlehead

OK dropping back in, its warm today but the news guy just said there was going to be a possibility of snow. Moving to thaiti now. good lord. SNow in Florida.

3:49 pm

jmcnrick

i know a few wiccans -- even did a wiccan Conscientious Objector application

3:50 pm

jmcnrick

red that is proof it is the end of the world

3:50 pm

Sally-catlover

*Comes in late to the chog. The end of the world? But I haven't finished the grid yet.

3:50 pm

Vicuna

Oh, is that what we're doing now? There are both Mormon and Wiccan babblers, I believe. But the real question is whether we have any Shaker Babblers. OR AMish.

3:51 pm

Sally-catlover

Amish don't use computers surely

3:51 pm

Vicuna

Well, that's why it would be quite a coup if we had one.

3:52 pm

Sally-catlover

None of us are that into housework surely.

3:53 pm

Mom

think what we could accomplish if we didn't sit on babble all day :) but then we all wouldn't have met such wonderful people.
(and hello)

3:53 pm

Sally-catlover

Though I live in a sort-of Amish type house (oak frame traditional construction).

3:53 pm

jmcnrick

hard to have amish since most of the amish reject electricity unless they can generate it themselves

3:53 pm

jmcnrick

hi mom and sally

3:53 pm

Mom

Hi Jmcnrick

3:53 pm

jmcnrick

I think I accomplish a lot thankyouverymuch!

3:54 pm

Sally-catlover

But how do you know we aren't all whizzing around on bikes with a generator attached.

3:54 pm

Vicuna

*mutters* Sheesh, you people have no imagination. Where's the fun of having Amish Babblers if it were easy?

3:54 pm

jmcnrick

i would probably sleep more if i didn't babble

3:54 pm

Erinmillerx

3:55 pm

Erinmillerx

sorry about that.

3:56 pm

jmcnrick

I would be very impressed if there were a shaker babbler since i think there are only 2 or three of them left

3:56 pm

Atalante

that's what we all have dogs for!

3:56 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I don't have time to get into this today, which is a good sign, it means I am working more

3:57 pm

Mom

be thankful Kaplan, it is not an easy one (at least not for me)

3:57 pm

jmcnrick

Work!

3:57 pm

jmcnrick

Erin are you new? I don't think I know you.

3:57 pm

Mom

in Central Kentucky we have a place called Shakertown. It is pretty cool

3:57 pm

Vicuna

I know, that's why I'm ambitious to fill out our religious diversity. Someone bring a laptop to Sabbathday Lake and proseletyze that Good News of Babble!

3:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Yeah, who are you? Are you one of my recruits from wordsplay?

Kaplan the Magne

OUCH- shoot me!

3:58 pm

Sally-catlover

Perhaps we could have a new religion called Babble-ism.

3:58 pm

Vicuna

Noooo, Kaplan!

3:58 pm

Mom

bingo, score another one for Kaplan

3:58 pm

Sally-catlover

Bang, Kaplan!

3:59 pm

Kaplan the Magne

AAAUUUUGGGGGHHHHH!!!! Sorry!
