12:48 am

12:48 am

VolleymomDee

12:49 am

jillibus

Nice looking lady you are, nan :)

12:49 am

VolleymomDee

off to check emails; hugs til the flip! Some days I hate when the bitsy ones go so quickly.

12:49 am

cybernan

ty -- fixed it now

12:49 am

jillibus

phants -- pilot, piton, pints (yes, flosey, lol)

12:49 am

westford

12:50 am

VolleymomDee

learned a lot, but see a lot more I would like to know immediately

12:50 am

rbud

yay nan and Dee!!! (was off in the kitchen fetching my popcorn...) :)

12:50 am

westford

you'll be teaching her soon

12:50 am

VolleymomDee

got back up taken care of, writing to a DVD; copying, scanning, envelopes...

12:50 am

VolleymomDee

lol doubtful

12:50 am

VolleymomDee

ty rb

12:51 am

cybernan

should I go back to my sewing or are clues wanted?

12:51 am

VolleymomDee

still don't like the new adobe phot as much as I liked my ancient one, but we'll see...

12:51 am

westford

sounds like you learned quite a bit

12:51 am

VolleymomDee

finding some of the newer programs more cumbersome; too many steps to do simple things

12:51 am

westford

thanks nan I still have too many

12:52 am

cybernan

ooh -- did you get a new adobe photoshop?

12:52 am

VolleymomDee

I think so...

12:52 am

jillibus

dee, that sounds like some of our new library program

12:52 am

VolleymomDee

yes Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0

12:52 am

VolleymomDee

I can imagine jili

12:53 am

jillibus

I have that, dee, but use very little of it -- need lessons too

12:53 am

cybernan

I'm still using photoshop elements 2 -- does eveything I need it to do and not very complicated!

12:54 am

VolleymomDee

my humble opinion... on the new systems they are trying to do a little of everything, and nothing seems to be as stellar as the old; today the tech told me that Office 2010 will be going back to the style and components I like so much... well, duh, this one is crap...

12:54 am

jillibus

Oh -- my Photoshop Elements is 6.0

12:54 am

VolleymomDee

I agree nan... I may actually see if I can install the old one... I like that much better than the newer ones

12:54 am

cybernan

having said that, aren't the red eye removal and photo enhancement features better?

12:55 am

cybernan

Mine installed just fine on windows 7

12:55 am

westford

I wonder why the mengineers always try to fix what isn't broken

12:55 am

cybernan

lol -- good question

12:55 am

cybernan

and why can't they make a new os that will run all the old programs?

12:56 am

VolleymomDee

phot enh good; I don't like the cloning tool apps as much; & tough to fix old photos... worked on one this afternoon and am still not happy with it

12:56 am

VolleymomDee

they want us to have to buy new ones (tech's comment)

12:56 am

VolleymomDee

agree west

12:57 am

VolleymomDee

well all, I am poofing with hugs; having ladies over for coffee in afternoon, so need to get a few things done and get some rest

12:57 am

jillibus

I can no longer open my MSPublisher documents from the older version -- infuriating -- my small books about my China days included

12:57 am

cybernan

I wonder if apple is any better than ms?

12:57 am

VolleymomDee

jili, a tech can convert those old files; she took care of transferring all my old publ to new computer'

12:57 am

westford

sweet dreams dee

12:58 am

jillibus

well, the applephiles say so

12:58 am

VolleymomDee

a friend of mine loves her new apple

12:58 am

rururocks

12:58 am

rururocks

hi dee

12:58 am

cybernan

If things with microsoft get any worse, I may just bite the bullet and switch

12:58 am

jillibus

oh? I'll have to try for that

12:58 am

gremlinn

ne7 = a compound: "new" + "kind"

12:58 am

jillibus

but no Lickety on a Mac, nan

12:58 am

westford

I don't use 1/10th of my apple 'files' lol but I do like the easy way it works

12:58 am

jillibus

I mean no Expert

12:59 am

VolleymomDee

12:59 am

rururocks

thanks grem

12:59 am

cybernan

hubby just got a new laptop with windows 7 and most of the old programs will run on it -- not word perfect though, which is my favourite word processor

12:59 am

VolleymomDee

k.... poofing now... hugs to all!

12:59 am

rururocks

what does the 8 start with?

12:59 am

flosey

12:59 am

gremlinn

de8

1:00 am

jillibus

de8, ruru

1:00 am

flosey

I agree with you there nan, don't like ms word at all

1:00 am

gremlinn

when I switched over to Windows 7, only one program I used wouldn't work, and it's one I wrote (so I had to fix some code!)

1:00 am

flosey

but then, when job went on computer, that's what I got use to

1:00 am

jillibus

1:01 am

rururocks

jillibus

Thanks, FM, and hi!

1:02 am

cybernan

now that I've chatted long enough that it is too late to go back to the sewing, I think I'll take my book to bed!

1:02 am

gremlinn

last six letters of de8 are the same as an op8 meaning the team you play against in a match

1:02 am

FMitch

*waves sleepily at everyone* going to make some tea. TTFN

1:02 am

cybernan

same ending that goes with ex and op, ruru

1:03 am

jillibus

And what's YOUR favourite museum, FM? It's your icon theme suggestion ;)

1:03 am

westford

1:07 am

westford

grem said if it started with ex it would be a math term

1:07 am

rururocks

? oh that helps a lot..lol

1:07 am

gremlinn

de + u*** (on top of) + *** (tree creature in Lord of the Rings)

1:07 am

cybernan

de 8: an op 8 is your adversary -- change to op

1:07 am

lynxxx

de 7 the parts of something are the com******s

1:08 am

cybernan

* the op

1:08 am

jillibus

de + corn **** + CBS is a *e*work

1:09 am

gremlinn

Our forecast calls for a heavy storm of clues in Babble.

2:15 am

rubyfoo

gd morning everybody

2:27 am

flosey

back again!! and darn, what next! went in to the kitchen and dark red juice puddle beneath the fridge! Guess the plumber accidentally hit the wrong switch - had to clean out the freezer part of fridge (side by side type)

2:28 am

rubyfoo

poor flosey, and you had to pay for that....

2:28 am

flosey

it was after midnight last night when they were working, so really can't get mad at them

2:29 am

flosey

they won't charge us for that midnight visit, it was something to do with the connections they had made to new filtration system

2:29 am

rubyfoo

ahh

2:30 am

flosey

anyway - got my freezer cleaned out - and not much loss

2:30 am

flosey

no meat upstairs, just a bit of fruit

2:30 am

flosey

the red puddle was blackberry juice

2:31 am

rubyfoo

do you ever find old, unlabeled things in the back of your freezer? or fridge, for the matter.....

2:31 am

flosey

yes ruby, lol, they went in the garbage

2:32 am

flosey

things you put in there thinking you'll use in within a week or so!

2:32 am

rubyfoo

I always try to remember to date and label, but invariably forget...so there are these mystery tupperwares of old main courses

2:32 am

flosey

think I need a cup of tea now to settle myself before going to bed

2:32 am

rubyfoo

fortunately, they are always things my husband likes so I just "surprise" him from time to time when I don't feel like cooking

2:33 am

flosey

I usually date and label - but yes, there are times when you're hurrying and think you'll remember

2:33 am

rubyfoo

this is a hard grid for me and my ranking is going down!!!!

2:34 am

flosey

can I help ruby, I finished before going out to find this mess!

2:34 am

flosey

are you using Lickety's clues?

2:34 am

rubyfoo

any e word, I only have ed4/5

2:35 am

rubyfoo

no, I try to do it without clues, mainly because I can't figure out how to use them

2:35 am

rubyfoo

or listing for that matter

2:35 am

flosey

ei4 and 5 - the down that is used in pillows and quilts

2:36 am

rubyfoo

I should havre known those, they were in the grid 3 days ago I think

2:36 am

rubyfoo

thank you

2:36 am

flosey

el5 - e + a cut of meat

2:37 am

flosey

en4 en **e man river, do you know that song?

2:37 am

flosey

ev5 e + please in**** me to your party

2:39 am

rubyfoo

thank you for those, I just didn't get the meat one, but I'm experimenting....

2:39 am

flosey

think pork **** chop?

2:40 am

flosey

or sir**** steak

2:40 am

flosey

going to get a cup of tea, brb

2:40 am

rubyfoo

got it, so no more e's

2:40 am

rubyfoo

nice to have some grey squares!

2:41 am

flosey

ok, back with tea, now what?

2:42 am

rubyfoo

bottom r?

2:43 am

flosey

sounds like there was quite a RY** after the the soccer game

2:43 am

flosey

the word would usually be ri

2:44 am

rubyfoo

I guess you' d call that a babblet? but I'll try to remember those. I'm embarrassed to ask for more, but thank you for your help

2:45 am

flosey

please ask, I need to settle down after cleaning up that mess

2:46 am

rubyfoo

I have neither c word

2:46 am

rubyfoo

you are very nice to offer

2:46 am

flosey

penny and ce5 is add a vowel

2:47 am

rubyfoo

I just looked at your profile; the aquarium sounds fabulous!!!

2:47 am

flosey

am enjoying this ruby - I appreciate when there's someone to help me with clues

2:47 am

flosey

it is an amazing museum

2:47 am

flosey

we always take visitors there

2:48 am

rubyfoo

when we still lived in Miami and wd go to the Bahamas, I would snorkel in arm's lengthdeep water and see wonderful things, but since I can't swim, would rarely venture deeper

2:48 am

flosey

wow, for a non swimmer, that's pretty daring

2:49 am

rubyfoo

we are retired here to France and although it is beautiful here, it is very isolating

2:49 am

flosey

I love to swim but panic when get my face in - of course can't dive for that reason

2:49 am

rubyfoo

and the lake water is never warmer than 55F, even in summer

2:49 am

flosey

really? why

2:49 am

rubyfoo

plus, I'm spoiled by the warm ocean where I am, at least, a little bit buoyant. Here, I would sink like a stone

2:50 am

flosey

wow, that's not very warm for swimming

2:50 am

rubyfoo

also, I would never let anybody see me in a bathing suit, used to always wear a t-shirt

2:50 am

flosey

right, we live on a small island off the west coast of BC so are surrounded by pacific ocean but I've never been swimming in it

2:50 am

rubyfoo

we have neighbors who swim across the lake, more than a mile! It's Lac d'Annecy

2:51 am

rubyfoo

it must be very cold and forbidding. I've only been in the Pacific once, a long time ago, and I was terrified

2:51 am

flosey

I'd love that, not a strong swimmer but if I lived by a lake like that I'd do more and so build up the strength

2:52 am

rubyfoo

I have a friend who used to live on one of those islands where you are

2:52 am

flosey

well, Jillibus - you know jilli? swims regularly in the ocean

2:52 am

rubyfoo

I have lost most of my muscles in the last couple of years, not strong at all

2:52 am

flosey

she lives here on same island

2:52 am

rubyfoo

oh, how nice for you two

2:53 am

flosey

oh, do you remember the name of the island?

2:53 am

flosey

we play bridge at the same club

2:53 am

rubyfoo

no, but she edited a newspaper there and is an author. I know here from Lexulous. Now she lives in Vancouver.

2:54 am

flosey

lots of very talented people seem to like the islands

2:54 am

rubyfoo

it is lovely chatting with you flosey, but I am afraid my dreaded husband will be back in a minute with the groceries and will be furious that I'm not dressed; he thinks I'm a lazy slug

2:55 am

flosey

oh dear, well you must not let him find you in that manner, lovely chatting, enjoy the rest of your day

2:56 am

flosey

I should be off to bed, almost 1: am

2:56 am

flosey

will finish my tea and be off

2:56 am

rubyfoo

thank you, I hope to see you later and really appreciate your help, at least I'm above half lol

2:56 am

rubyfoo

sweet dreams

2:56 am

flosey

good for you, bye now, and ty for sweet dreams

6:17 am

Anniebrook

Scrabbs, You are one of the people I love and admire.

6:17 am

Trifioso

I know that monster, scrabbler. makes richard head look like santa, doesn't it?

6:18 am

Anniebrook

I think we all know that monster at one time or another in our lives.

6:18 am

Scrabbler

The Black Monster lies and distorts.

6:18 am

oodleberry

I don't understand work... is that when you go outside and mow the lawn and trim the trees and plant flowers and then inside so the laundry and cook and clean???

6:19 am

Trifioso

that's a lot of MY work oodle, yes!

6:19 am

JBV

work is actually one of the great enjoyments of my life

6:19 am

JBV

i look for pleasure in small bits - have the good fortune of being around children a lot -

6:19 am

Scrabbler

That is the unpaid work

6:20 am

oodleberry

but you go to a different place I heard and some even get paid for it???

6:20 am

Scrabbler

Oodle, you have been unemployed for too long.

6:20 am

Trifioso

I had my worst day of work YET yesterday, and I have to admit, a day like that is off-putting. I am quite nervous to go back today, but hoping things have settled down over night. ever the optimist (snark)

6:21 am

Scrabbler

BRB, must grab breakfast

6:21 am

JBV

oh too bad, Trif - what kind of work are you doing?

6:21 am

oodleberry

what happened trif?

6:21 am

oodleberry

what are you going to do after you grab it scrab hmmm?

6:23 am

Trifioso

I work with kids with expressive and receptive language issues, specifically in the area of reading comprehension and decoding. I mainly work with one little boy with a HOST of problems, and it all went pear shaped yesterday, and when I left he was open-mouthed WAILING, face to the wall. And, to make it all perfect - there were two new families in the center, having their children tested for possible inclusion in our program. Yep, that's me, the ambassador! god help us all....

6:24 am

Scrabbler

*gobbling PB & J sandwich*

6:24 am

JBV

oh, gee!

6:24 am

Scrabbler

But that is not your fault, Trif.

6:25 am

JBV

how old was the wailer? and would he be more settled if a parent was around during the lesson?

6:25 am

Trifioso

great choice, scrabbler! protein, grains, and the good sugars and vitamins from the fruit. I am glad you are eating well, and taking care of yourself

6:25 am

oodleberry

well god bless you trif... can't seem to work with people like that. gee thank God for people like you trif

6:25 am

Anniebrook

why do you think you are at fault?

6:25 am

Trifioso

not sure my little friend was thanking god for me yesterday....

6:26 am

Scrabbler

But kids have meltdowns when frustrated, tired, hungry...

6:26 am

Trifioso

he and I had made a deal - he had been goofing off for most of the session. I told him if he worked really, really hard for the last half hour, he could have this special reward that he wanted. he didn't do ANY work the last half hour, no matter what I tried, so I didn't give him the reward. and then all hell broke loose. as a mom, I know I am right - I don't reward bad choices. but as his clinician, I feel like a major bitch.

6:27 am

JBV

Trif are you a reading specialist? speech/language?

6:27 am

Trifioso

yes, jbv

6:27 am

Scrabbler

You did the right thing, Trif, and he needs to learn about consequences

6:27 am

JBV

just had a conference with a teacher about this yesterday, she said she tried student of the week - we told her a week was too long too wait for a reward, so she broke it down to student of the day,s

6:27 am

JBV

still no results.

6:28 am

JBV

so now she has a student of the morning! and one for the afternoon !

6:28 am

JBV

maybe a half hour was too long for this little one -

6:28 am

oodleberry

no trif you are following through with what you said and very good perenting skills I might add

6:28 am

Trifioso

it's going to be interesting to see what happens tomorrow, when I am scheduled to work with him again - either he will refuse to work with me at all, or he will snap to and actually do his work for once, since he will have learned that I am the clinician he can't goof off with

6:28 am

oodleberry

right scrab

6:28 am

Scrabbler

Sad, isn't it, JBV, that so many kids are not taught to aspire

6:28 am

Anniebrook

When Bobby was 2 years 10 months I enrolled him in an Early Childhood Program at a progressive nursery school. He cried for months and the nursery teacher would not give up. I sat in that room with my baby daughter for 3 months until Bobby settled down and the teadhers were a blessing. If they had given in at that age his life would have been harder.

6:29 am

JBV

scrabbler, we are seeing more and more extreme behaviors even in very young children - we have a behavior specialist in the pre-K now

6:30 am

Scrabbler

By their parents, I mean, JBV. Too many kids are the bosses at home

6:30 am

Trifioso

maybe so jbv. I struggle with that thought all the time - when is he just being a typical kid, trying to goof off, and when we have honestly reached the limits of his abilities. but to be honest, my "spider sense" is telling me that no one has pushed this kid much, and he gets given in to a LOT. Well, meet your wall, kiddo.

6:30 am

Scrabbler

Yes, JBV, I am appalled daily in the office, at the behaviors of both parents and children

6:30 am

JBV

yes, of course, children learn what they live - so we also do parenting workshops - not sure if any of it is working

6:31 am

Scrabbler

Alright, I have to leave in 15 min, so I must transform myself

6:31 am

Scrabbler

Bye Babble Buddies

6:31 am

JBV

bye scrabs - have a good day

6:31 am

Anniebrook

Bye, Scrabbs

6:31 am

JBV

me too, time to get ready for the real thing

6:31 am

Trifioso

it must be really, really hard to be this boy's parents. of course they would want to cushion him as much as possible -- he has been thrown enough curve balls by his genetics kecking him up already! but there comes a point....

6:31 am

oodleberry

transform in the scrabulator

6:32 am

Trifioso

bye scrabbler! take our love and admiration with you today....

I still can't stop humming Pink Floyd/Wizard of Oz after yesterday

8:21 am

Vicuna

The sun is shining, quick grid... goes a long way toward mitigating the hassle of running a meeting tonight.

8:22 am

Vicuna

I don't even want to know what Pink Floyd would make of the Wizard of Oz!

8:22 am

Vicuna

Hello, jmc.
Good one, Judi.

8:24 am

Nancy Boy

I did find Pink Floyd had no flare without Roger Waters...

8:24 am

Nancy Boy

and the connection is: if you play Dark Side of the Moon over the wizard of oz, it syncs up :) Tried and tested!

8:24 am

jmcnrick

btw pb hursh

8:24 am

Vicuna

No flare? They gave up their bell bottoms? lol ;)

8:25 am

oodleberry

ok bbl...

8:25 am

Bye Oodle

8:25 am

jmcnrick

they sold out their music to make it more "popular"

8:26 am

Nancy Boy

or even flair! ;)

8:26 am

Vicuna

Ah. Oddly enough, I never tried that.

8:27 am

Nancy Boy

I think they just had a problem with Roger Waters taking over a bit. I don't know why it was a problem. Roger Waters taking over sounds AWESOME.

8:29 am

Nancy Boy

LOL Vic. It's fantastically trippy.

8:29 am

jmitch

the documentary "which one's pink" is a pretty good breakdown of the breakdown in pink floyd

8:29 am

Vicuna

I believe it.

8:29 am

jmcnrick

damn computer just turned itself off and on again

8:30 am

Judi

Secure your plugs, jmc!

8:30 am

Vicuna

jmc, is your computer's name by any chance "Hal'?

8:30 am

jmcnrick

it isn't saying vic

8:30 am

EvaNadine

ive heard of that synchronization, NB... interesting to hear that it really works. :)

8:30 am

jmcnrick

i think it was one of those automatic update things

8:31 am

Vicuna

Tin foil hat time... again.

8:31 am

jmcnrick

good idea *puts on foil cap*

8:31 am

jmcnrick

did hursh ever go to the pb?

8:31 am

hurshy

of course i did, that's why i haven't said anything.

8:32 am

Nancy Boy

I was mindblown, Eva ;) some bits you need a little imagination for...others are just really clear. It looks like a music video. The munchkins dance in perfect time to "Money"!

8:32 am

jmcnrick

lol sorry hursh don't mean to disparage you!

8:32 am

hurshy

what does the 7 start with?

8:32 am

jmcnrick

it does work although being stoned helps

8:33 am

Vicuna

lol! Sounds like Pink Floyd had too much time on their hands!

8:33 am

EvaNadine

i remember seeing something about it on tv once and the line "10 thousand years have gone bhind you" was playing while the scene was of dorothy walking down a long, long road...

8:33 am

cathsains

hi hurshy, 7 starts with ne

8:33 am

grant

greek for new =7 start

8:33 am

jmcnrick

hi cath

8:34 am

jmitch

NANCY BOY: did you sync the music to the video or has somebody down that work and have it for sale?

8:34 am

hurshy

thankees

8:34 am

cathsains

hi jmc

8:34 am

Nancy Boy

LOL Jmc! I might try it stoned this evening and come on babble raving about having seen "into the eyes of god", like I did the first time I tried that stuff...

8:34 am

hurshy

ye4, yo4, and?

8:34 am

hurshy

another ye4!

8:34 am

Nancy Boy

Jmitch, it syncs itself! Just start both the album and the film at the same time and it just plays in synchronity :)

8:35 am

Nancy Boy

you can catch bits of it on youtube I think, if you're curious...works better if you do it yourself though

8:35 am

hurshy

ve4,5,4, vi4, and ?

jmitch

well I've heard you have to start at certain place and never had the patience.....my "chemical" days were back w/ vinyl albums and VHS tapes!

8:36 am

jmcnrick

let it never be said i encouraged anyone to get stoned NB

8:36 am

hurshy

oh fish me!

8:36 am

jmcnrick

the certain place is the beginning jmitch

8:37 am

Nancy Boy

I think any discrepancy comes from people skipping through the mostly silent opening of 'Breathe'...I turned on the music when I saw the MGM symbol and it worked perfectly :)

8:37 am

jmitch

well w/ vinyl and VHS it had to do w/ the MGM lion's 2nd roar i think

8:37 am

Nancy Boy

Let me assure you I need no encouragement Jmc ;)

8:37 am

jmcnrick

i'm just saying NB. . . .

8:38 am

jmitch

who am i kidding? I remember when VHS was the latest.

8:38 am

jmcnrick

heck i remember when 45s went out because everyone used LPs

8:39 am

Nancy Boy

sounds about right Jmitch ;) I think a lot of it is just trial and error. Plus, if you're trying as hard as I was to see connections, then you do invariably see them. Cool, though!

8:39 am

jmcnrick

9:09 am

phaeton

excuses, excuses

9:09 am

Vicuna

That should be interesting. I think Catherine Parr is fascinating.

9:10 am

o-o

Is Catherine Jack's mom?

9:10 am

Vicuna

Well, speaking of getting to work, and all that, I guess I'd better be off. Back later to mop up the last few. (I like mopping up words so much better than mopping kitchen floors...)

9:11 am

hurshy

a former student asked me to give him suggestions on some of his college papers last week. there was a line in one of them that went "One literary figure, William Shakespeare..." - i cracked up.

9:11 am

Haz1558

Nice to see you, Vicuna, enjoy whatever mopping you do.

9:12 am

hurshy

he also inadvertently claimed, in another paper, that the history of north america didn't begin until white people arrived.

9:12 am

Vicuna

Bye!

9:13 am

hurshy

o-o

not to worry

9:14 am

Haz1558

I hadn't even noticed until you said.

9:14 am

hurshy

well it's always better to notice and disclaim responsibility yourself before anyone else notices.

9:15 am

o-o

How do you like your job now that you have been at it awhile, hurshy?

9:16 am

hurshy

oh, it's alright. i mean, if you have to have a job that you don't really care about, this one is relatively decent. it would be great, someday, to do something that i really loved, though... if i could figure out what that would be...

9:17 am

oodleberry

ok I am back, front, top, bottom and both sides

9:18 am

Have you thought about writing children's books, hurshy?

howdy, oodle

9:18 am

hurshy

i have just thought of a silver lining to the climate change problem. as sea levels rise and places flood, there will be increased work for mapmakers.

9:19 am

howdy

9:19 am

hurshy

well, i guess i have thought about it on one occasion or another, but i'm such an introvert, i sort of need to do something that forces me to interact with people, whether it be colleagues or clients or whatever.

Are you not happy with your introversion, hurshy?

I am a plodder, oodle

9:23 am

oodleberry

ohhh ok

9:23 am

Haz1558

The secret of having everyone think you're a genius at babble is never to give any indication of when you've finished. People imagine that you're brilliant.

9:24 am

hurshy

no, i'm ok with being introverted, it's just that even as an introvert, you don't want to have no human contact, and yet, if it isn't sort of, THERE, i don't seek it out, and then i get lonely and depressed.

9:24 am

Haz1558

Not that BR isn't brilliant, but you know what I mean.

9:25 am

Haz1558

Fair enough, hurshy, it's finding enough interaction to keep you happy without having so much as to make you feel uncomfortable, is that the difficulty?

9:26 am

hurshy

yes. i thrived in college, when everyone was just right there, and nobody had kids, and you didn't have to feel like you had to schedule time to spend with them, but it was also easy to retreat to your own room.

9:26 am

"perv" was not found in the dictionary

of course not, enable dictionary. he would more likely be found sneaking a peek inside your bedroom window when youre changing for bed...

children are very problematic. one needs them, and they can be fun and cute, but they do get in the way of a lot of the rest of life. and then if they lose their parents... there was a guy on american idol last night who'd been in like 25 different foster families. it seems to me that you need to have that biological instinct to love and protect a child, or else even the best of them is too annoying to voluntarily live with.

9:30 am

Haz1558

Sometimes even the biological instinct runs a bit dry!

9:30 am

o-o

Most everything in life involves tradeoffs

9:30 am

hurshy

indeed.

9:31 am

EvaNadine

thats new info to me also, haz. now i feel educated. :)

9:31 am

Haz1558

I'm interested that you think that children get in the way of your life. I suppose for many parents, having children is what helps to give life purpose.

9:32 am

hurshy

i suppose it does. but then, that's why i've opted not to be a parent!

9:32 am

Haz1558

I don't mean that life is hopeless without them, nor that life is continually a bed of roses with them, but bringing up my girls has been very satisfying for me, perhaps more than I could have thought possible and without resorting to thinking that the sun rises and sets on them.

9:33 am

hurshy

yes but you live in ballymena and have a vet for a husband. i might be able to raise kids under those conditions.

9:33 am

Haz1558

I'm realising as I get older that I have a very strong sense of family - maybe that's why I feel this way.

9:34 am

Haz1558

But people raise children all over the place!

9:34 am

Nef

Haz, when they got in trouble, or did something that drove you totally batty; didn't you feel that you wondered where they came from --that they weren't YOUR kids?

9:34 am

hurshy

i know they do. but *i* wouldn't want to.

9:35 am

Haz1558

Nef, it's funny, by and large they haven't been too bad, but they are exaggerated versions of my and my husband's characteristics. It's like looking at cartoon versions of yourself and you can see where the trouble has come from!

9:35 am

hurshy

i just don't have the biological drive for it, is really what it boils down to. and since i don't have the drive, it's easy to come up with lots of reasons why not to. whereas for people who DO have the drive, it's easy to come up with reasons why it's great.

9:36 am

Nef

A relative had her twin toddlers get in the frig and break a dozen eggs all over the kitchen (threw them at each other) and she melted down and called for help cleaning up. She kept insisting they weren't hers

9:36 am

Haz1558

But hurshy, biological drive is one thing. Having the commitment to stick with a child, to nurture and protect etc, surely that's more than biology?

9:37 am

Nef

My older sister and her hubby refused to have kids: they didn't want "rug rats" and "curtain climbers" in the way of their lives. I'm glad they never did have kids

9:38 am

hurshy

i don't know, haz. one would imagine so. it could be a case of... the biological drive is necessary but not sufficient.

9:38 am

Haz1558

I'm glad as well, Nef, children don't deserve those names.

9:38 am

hurshy

unless you just accidentally get pregnant, of course, and then you may or may not end up being a good parent.

9:39 am

Haz1558

To be honest, you're to be commended for thinking the issues through. Too many people want a baby, but don't think beyond the first few months.

9:39 am

hurshy

and to paraphrase forrest gump, kids are like a box of chocolates. you never know what you're gonna get.

9:40 am

Nef

Or they have kids so that they have someone who loves them! Worst reason in the world to have them!

9:41 am

hurshy

wesley is great, and always has been. hannah, i'm sure will also be great, but right now, she is LOUD. wesley never really CRIED much - he would just babble away. when i'm chatting with wesley and hear hannah screaming in the background, i just think i don't know how i could live with that on a regular basis!

9:41 am

Nef

that's the truth, hurshy!

9:42 am

Haz1558

It's funny, neighbours had two children, very contented, happy, easily entertained youngsters. Then along came the third. He roared and bellowed and generally created havoc from the minute he came into the house.

9:43 am

Haz1558

He seems to be quieter now. Either that or they've got tape permanently over his mouth to keep the noise down. He'd be about 3 so maybe he's learned a bit of sense.

9:43 am

hurshy

my senses are also more sensitive than normal - esp sound.

9:43 am

jmbdobie2

9:46 am

o-o

One of the joys of my life is to go to a baby that is sobbing and have him/her put their little arms out to be picked up and then just hang on to you

9:46 am

hurshy

my dad has remarked how ironic it is that one spends the first couple years of a child's life teaching him to walk and talk and the rest of his childhood telling him to sit down and be quiet.

9:46 am

Haz1558

Do you have the magic touch to stop them crying, BR?

9:47 am

Nef

BR, that is so true!

9:47 am

o-o

most times

9:47 am

Haz1558

Good for you! Sometimes, children just want a bit of comfort and TLC.

9:49 am

Nef

There are some people that are like that. I've seen it in my workplace; a crying child that won't settle, but one of our staff will get that crying child calm right away

9:49 am

Haz1558

It still holds true even when they're grown as well. Daughter no 2 (nearly 23) sometimes settles herself in my lap. She's got a bit heavier than she used to be!

9:50 am

Haz1558

She always was one to seek more hugs. I used to joke that I wore her for a few months when she was going through a clingy period;

9:53 am

o-o

One of my sisters passed several years ago ... a small baby 5 pds something .... changed her diapers helped her walk ... and now she is gone

9:53 am

Nef

Haz, does she give that support to others too; or is she just extremely needy?

9:54 am

Nef

it's hard to lose someone that you've helped grow, isn't BR?

9:55 am

Haz1558

No, she's not needy at all. This was when she was just a baby, she liked to be carried around with me. She's now grown up, independent and pretty well adjusted.

9:56 am

That's good, Haz. I was wondering because I mis-interrpreted what you wrote (just went back and read it again) Sorry. :-)

9:56 am

Sally-catlover

Ooh, just come on to the chog full of baby talk - and I have been away visiting 2-year old grandson! 5 days without Babble :-(

9:58 am

Haz1558

It's okay, Nef, it's best to clarify.

9:58 am

Nef

But with the grandson, Sally! How fun!

9:58 am

Haz1558

Hello, Sally. So did the delights of grandson outweigh the horrors of babble deprivation?

9:59 am

Sally-catlover

You bet! He is of course gorgeous and very bright. Not that I am biassed, you understand.

9:59 am

Haz1558

I've never known a biassed grandmother.

10:00 am

Marc Freeman

Good morning I need a clue for ve5/18, please?

10:00 am

Sally-catlover

10:01 am

Haz1558

ve5/18 - an African plain. first letters of a type of material (3), last two are initials of alcoholic 'shakes'.

10:01 am

Marc Freeman

isn't that the vi5?

10:01 am

bojazz

ooops - wrong clue, sorry

10:01 am

Haz1558

He's potty trained already? He's a paragon, Sally.

10:02 am

Sally-catlover

No - his parents do the nappies!

10:03 am

Haz1558

That's good of them.

10:04 am

Haz1558

Is he talking much?

10:05 am

Sally-catlover

A few words, Haz. "I don't know" being a favourite. So - how has Babble been? Have I missed easy grids? Any scandal?

10:07 am

Haz1558

No scandal that I can think of. Nothing exciting in the grids either. You picked a good time to be away.

10:08 am

Sally-catlover

Seems nice grid today.

Are you worried that the nameless one can read over your shoulder, Haz?

10:16 am

Haz1558

Not quite.

10:17 am

I just need a mental push to get me out of the chair.

thank you, what a crazy word!!

10:39 am

Sally-catlover

I even wrote a verse about it once ...

10:39 am

rubyfoo

do you remember the verse?

10:40 am

Sally-catlover

Just a mo.

10:42 am

Sally-catlover

OK, it's part of a whole thing I wrote for my Latin group, and this verse goes: Mary is the clever one / Sitting quietly in her chair / She understands de8/50 verbs / Which cause us all despair.

10:43 am

rubyfoo

I love that! Do you also write limericks?

10:43 am

Yes, but most of them not repeatable!

showing my age - this was in the 50's

11:31 am

In 1958 vicuÃ±a was on everybodyâ€™s lips. President Eisenhowerâ€™s favorite golfing buddy and Chief of Staff Sherman Adams got the boot after reporters learned that he had accepted various sumptuous finery, most famously a vicuÃ±a coat, from a certain Boston textile magnate named Bernie Goldfine in exchange for some extra lenient treatment by federal regulators. The scandal even engulfed future columnist Jack Anderson, who was caught bugging Goldfineâ€™s hotel room.

chocolate can improve your mental state as it creates some of the same chemical reactions as being in love

12:35 pm

jmcnrick

yes apparently people who get lots of sleep have an easier time losing weight -- not just naps

12:35 pm

rubyfoo

I wish I liked chocolate.... the only way I like it is in chicken mole

12:36 pm

crosshair

lol jmc,after being married almost 20 years,the only think i know 100% about women is that it has something to do with chocolate;0

hm does anyone know how legal it is to automatically bounce one specific unwanted email sender address? junk+spam is not enough

thanks lbd and jmc... got it

re 5/12 2nd one plz

Sorry Farruska... those are the only weapons in my arsenal...

no, not blocking, bouncing

8:19 pm

sixty7stang13

ty Ibd

8:20 pm

jmcnrick

sorry don't know the difference

8:20 pm

Farruska

bouncing means each time the one sends an email will receive a "undeliverable" error message , it can be done on the server side but also on the client side

8:20 pm

Nef

what is bouncing, Farru?

8:21 pm

lbdawger

hmm, how do you do that, farru? i don't know why it wouldn't be legal.

8:22 pm

Farruska

on mail.app (mac) there is an option for it ; there are also scripts that can be used. hm have to catch the "lawyer" here again :-)

8:22 pm

jmcnrick

i just read about bouncing on a chat -- there is no legal reason not to

8:23 pm

jmcnrick

there are very few laws that apply to the internet

8:23 pm

Farruska

rick in the US or worldwide ? germany is quite strict on e-law

8:24 pm

jmcnrick

in US and there is not a system to govern it internationally

8:24 pm

jmcnrick

i understand china is strict as well

8:24 pm

Farruska

yes, there is no common international regulation but each country has its own

8:25 pm

Nef

Farru, why would it be illegal to bounce someone who you don't want to have bothering you? It isn't like you're giving out that person's private info, is it?

8:26 pm

Farruska

Nef because by using the feature Bounce you yourself are creating a fake email returned to the sender which in some countries is considered spamming, hence illegal

8:26 pm

Farruska

ok, thanks, I'll try to catch someone from Germany :-)

8:26 pm

jmcnrick

i can check with my german friends and let you know tomorrow

8:27 pm

Farruska

danke rick ! that would be great :-)
