it's a way of moderating - removing vowels from the comments due to bad behaviour

hi adhd

12:45 am

dcseain

our governor overturned a recent order by the attorney general today, allowing the commonwealth's universities to maintain anti-discrimination clauses protecting based on sexual orientation, much to the pleased surprise of many of us.

12:45 am

rururocks

(about time)

12:46 am

rururocks

I hope for the day that all couples can get married and recognized by the government

12:46 am

dcseain

the R gov and R attorney gen'l were caught by surprise by the commonwealth-wide protests

12:46 am

jillibus

dc, rachel M was talking about that,and because it was a"directive" instead of an order, it has no validity in law, so it's a hollow ploy

12:46 am

dcseain

Well, we can now marry in DC, and MD will recognize it. Not so here in VA

12:47 am

dcseain

indeed, and the gov't here is unitary, and the unis have been allowed to have the policies for decades, so the AG was blowing smoke out his ass, basically. caused a huge political uproar nonetheless

12:48 am

rururocks

that's a handy trick..he should do Camel commercials

12:48 am

dcseain

and the AG is from this part of the state, and should know better.

12:48 am

dcseain

LOL ruru :D

12:49 am

rururocks

gives a whole new meaning to the ring of fire..lol

12:49 am

ADHDWordLover

12:49 am

dcseain

thanks, adhd. i like that yours is a rare color

12:50 am

jillibus

I think I have to get HBO -- Bill Maher was just on MSNBC

12:50 am

rururocks

(this gives a whole new meaning to cigarette BUTTs too)

12:50 am

ADHDWordLover

my first one was a 1970 (red). i posted all my VWs in my profile, when the icon was the color green.

12:50 am

dcseain

hehehe :)

12:50 am

dcseain

oh, why's that, jilli?

12:51 am

rururocks

I had a 1970 VW squareback

12:51 am

jillibus

because I want to be able to see Maher and some of the other good stuff

12:51 am

dcseain

ah, gotcha. :)

12:51 am

dcseain

coolio, ruru

12:52 am

ADHDWordLover

12:52 am

ADHDWordLover

12:53 am

ADHDWordLover

reg beetle, hatchback, wagon, bus, ghia

12:53 am

rururocks

I slept in one all the time while goign to college

12:53 am

dcseain

yep, that was the name for the station wagon

12:53 am

dcseain

cheaper than the dorm was it, ruru?

12:54 am

ADHDWordLover

I liked that I could do the work on it myself... new gas tank, exhaust system, tuneups, etc

12:54 am

rururocks

no.. I worked graveyard and had to catch a nap before classes early in the morning

12:54 am

ADHDWordLover

i slept in the bus on a road trip, but just for one night lol

12:54 am

ADHDWordLover

single mom couldn't afford a mechanic

12:55 am

rururocks

I had curtains in it and everything..

12:55 am

rururocks

beads, peace sign.. tinted windows.

12:55 am

dcseain

yeah, they were great for self-maintenance

12:55 am

dcseain

nice, ruru

12:55 am

dcseain

i once drove mine 10 miles at 70 mph in 2nd gear

12:56 am

ADHDWordLover

i just had the daisy painted on my bug. a horse tried to eat it while i was driving in nyc

12:56 am

rururocks

(uh oh)

12:56 am

ADHDWordLover

whoa

12:56 am

dcseain

i'd downshifted to 2 instead of 3, checked stick was back, and went on my way

12:56 am

dcseain

it was designed to g that speed in 2nd, happily.

12:56 am

ADHDWordLover

you couldn't tell by the whining engine that you were ina low gear?

12:56 am

dcseain

meant for passing, but it survived

12:57 am

ADHDWordLover

meant fort passing, not for ten miles tho

12:57 am

rururocks

all VW's whined

12:57 am

dcseain

2nd and 4th sound the same at the speed i learned, and you could barely hear the engine for the wind with the windows open

12:57 am

dcseain

yes, good lesson for 16-yr old :)

12:57 am

ADHDWordLover

my engine was loud

12:57 am

jillibus

I can't find those E words

12:57 am

1:03 am

Jellen

Thanks, dc!

1:04 am

anike

TY all

1:05 am

Jellen

I'm totally overwhelmed at this point, so much to do...but have to wait on other things to happen to get much done...

1:06 am

dcseain

much reno needed on the building?

1:06 am

anike

I'm going to say farewell - swim time

1:06 am

jillibus

happy splashing, anike

1:06 am

dcseain

njoy, anike

1:07 am

Jellen

We're going to do minimal reno...although I'm really tempted to do more...

1:08 am

Jellen

There's a cinderblock outbuilding to tear down, and a metal addition that's an eyesore...

1:08 am

dcseain

think hard about needs, and how adaptable to future reno it will be once occupied.

1:08 am

dcseain

could the blocks be recycled to replace the metal addition ?

1:08 am

Jellen

But I'm not going to try to recover the original tin ceiling...sigh!

1:09 am

dcseain

pity, that. too degraded?

1:09 am

dcseain

could parts of it be preserved?

1:09 am

Jellen

Oh, not likely...ugly concrete blocks...

1:09 am

dcseain

ah, brick building?

1:09 am

Jellen

Afraid it is too degraded...

1:10 am

jillibus

nbt at last

1:10 am

Jellen

Yes, it's brick...hope to sandblast it back to the original red color...

1:10 am

dcseain

go, go jilli!

1:10 am

Jellen

wd, jilli!

1:11 am

dcseain

beware what sandblasting can do to old mortar - may need to repoint

1:11 am

jillibus

well, I've been watching TV and the chat too, lol!

1:11 am

Jellen

True enough...

1:12 am

jillibus

big enterprise, jellen -- but fun planning, I bet

1:12 am

dcseain

oh, in which case, you're doing very well in the grid, jilli

1:12 am

dcseain

and, if unfired brick, my need to repaint, even if in a brick color

1:13 am

Jellen

I'm trying very hard to keep it from getting too big, jilli...made that mistake when I opened my bookstore years ago...

1:15 am

jillibus

good that you've had that experience

1:16 am

dcseain

yes, that will help a lot this time

1:17 am

Jellen

I agree...nothing like failure as an education!

1:18 am

Jellen

It wasn't a total failure, I guess...it's still in business under my sister-in-law's guidance...

1:18 am

shorty

can i get a clue for the co7 please

1:18 am

jillibus

Well! That's great! Isn't it?

1:19 am

Jellen

It is good...

1:19 am

Jellen

Hi, shorty...can't give you a clue...

1:20 am

shorty

why:(

1:20 am

dcseain

1:20 am

Jellen

Haven't a clue :-)

1:20 am

shorty

oh ok LOL

1:20 am

Jellen

Call me clueless!

1:22 am

shorty

ok....clueless Jellen :)

1:23 am

jillibus

hi shorty -- was just checking your profile and I wonder where faerie went

1:24 am

shorty

I know i guess she's real busy with her mom she has e-mailed me between work and her mom she is very busy

1:25 am

jillibus

well, I'm glad you're still in touch

1:25 am

shorty

yes me too I'm gonna go see her this spring I'm EXCITED!!!!!!!

1:26 am

jillibus

1:27 am

shorty

I know I cant wait!

1:28 am

jillibus

1:29 am

Jellen

1:30 am

dcseain

1:30 am

jillibus

2:09 am

raja

2:09 am

o-o

how did your fingers get icy?

2:10 am

rubyfoo

sorry about that word. the outside door was open all night because the dog didn't come in 'til 2AM

2:10 am

rubyfoo

even with both fireplaces burning, it is still frigid in the whole house

2:10 am

rubyfoo

rajah

2:10 am

rubyfoo

sorry, still sleepy

2:11 am

rubyfoo

no more, although I could use some hot chocolate in the PBm, that's for sure

2:18 am

diann

how many words today??

2:18 am

rubyfoo

only 98, diann

2:18 am

Haz1558

Hello diann, 98.

2:18 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all.

2:18 am

rubyfoo

hello haz

2:19 am

rubyfoo

cooth

2:19 am

Haz1558

Hello, ruby.

2:19 am

rubyfoo

that was not very cooth of me

2:20 am

rubyfoo

alit

2:20 am

Haz1558

It's better than being called uncouth....

2:20 am

rubyfoo

bad, cold fingers and icky computer this AM

2:23 am

rubyfoo

how are you, haz, and is it cold there?

2:24 am

Haz1558

I'm well, thanks, and yes, it's cold. We're getting temperatures below zero at night, but it warms up pretty well during the day when the sun shines.

2:25 am

rubyfoo

sunshine here is still pretty weak, not doing much to warm the house

2:25 am

Haz1558

No, I wouldn't be depending on it to warm the house, that's for sure. But it makes for pleasant walks.

2:27 am

Haz1558

Unfortunately, it costs a lot more to keep houses warm! I've just had the oil tank filled and the price has jumped since before Christmas when it was last filled.

2:28 am

rubyfoo

we never thought about heating when we bought the house, because American houses generally have central (gas) heating. So I blithely removed all of the really ugly electric radiators when we remodelled and thought that the in-floor system would be enough.

2:29 am

Haz1558

You can live with ugly if ugly is warm...

2:29 am

rubyfoo

I wasn't even close to adequate, and then it got a short and had to be disconnected. We bought new radiators and enclosed both fireplaces, but it is still a VERY cold house

2:29 am

rubyfoo

who knew?

2:29 am

lynxxx

Hello all

2:29 am

rubyfoo

I was adequate {/], the in-floor heating wasn\t

2:29 am

rubyfoo

hi lynxx

2:30 am

Haz1558

Did you not have French tradesmen shaking their heads and intaking breath sharply when you asked them to take out the radiators?

2:30 am

Haz1558

Hello, lynxxx.

2:30 am

rubyfoo

we were working from Miami, and nobody ever disagreed with us about anything

2:31 am

lynxxx

Yay - got an 8 even if it isn't known s that in Australia

2:31 am

Haz1558

Oh dear! When you come to write your book on how to remodel French houses, you must put in a chapter on the perils of long distance renovations.

2:32 am

rubyfoo

my and Peter Mayle! lol

2:32 am

Haz1558

Exactly! Maybe you'd make enough from the book to have the house heated properly.

2:33 am

lynxxx

That was brave Ruby. How many times did you visit during the renovation?

2:33 am

rubyfoo

it's a very pretty house, especially its location, but was very poorly constructed 20 - some years ago

2:33 am

rubyfoo

3 times a year

2:34 am

Sally-catlover

Hi all, morning chilly ruby.

2:34 am

lynxxx

'scuse me, I suddenly have a bouncing dog

we took out walls, added a fireplace, added bathrooms (if you can imagine, they had 4 tiny bedrooms upstairs with one WC and "bathrooms"

2:34 am

rubyfoo

hello sally

2:35 am

Sally-catlover

We don't have gas here because we are too far out, and oil is horrendously expensive at the moment, but we do have under-floor heating which we had installed when we had the house built, which is lovely.

2:36 am

Sally-catlover

However, the best thing we ever did was change the open log fire to a wood burner. Very efficient and makes the whole house really cosy - and it has reduced our oil bills! We have plenty of wood on our land.

2:36 am

rubyfoo

we made it into one bedroom, dressing room and study upstairs, a lovely guestroom and bath on the garden level (we're built into a hillside) and took out the wall between the [tiny] kitchen and the [tiny] dining room and made an American-style kitchen/breakfast room

2:36 am

Sally-catlover

Sounds nice ruby. Do you have photos?

2:37 am

rubyfoo

we put in-floor heat in the guestroom and my studion, but the original system was useless

2:37 am

rubyfoo

yes, I'll send them to you by e-mail, if you like

2:38 am

Sally-catlover

Yes please. Do you want to see photos of our house build? We have a web site.

2:38 am

rubyfoo

although the interior design is very nice and makes the house seem older and traditional, I was more interested in the garden in the end

2:38 am

rubyfoo

Yes, I would love to see that, Sally!

2:38 am

Haz1558

But pictures won't give any impression of the cold. If you feature in the pictures, ruby, you need to give yourself a cold red nose and icicles hanging from the roof.

2:39 am

rubyfoo

we even uncovered beams in the dropped ceiling upstairs HOWVER the ceiling was dropped for a good reason; it was warmer that way. Who knew that?

2:39 am

rubyfoo

icicles hanging from my nose, too

2:39 am

Sally-catlover

OK, hope it still works because I haven't done any work on the web site for ages: <www.stonybrook-ludlow.co.uk>

2:40 am

Haz1558

Is Kevin McCloud coming to do a Grand Designs on you, Sally? I love watching that programme, it is so interesting to see the whole building process.

2:41 am

Sally-catlover

No! We were in some local newspaper, and we were asked if we'd be in a magazine but we said no.

2:42 am

Haz1558

You could have been famous!

2:42 am

Sally-catlover

I stay well out of photos - they tend to break the lens.

2:42 am

rubyfoo

that's impressive, Sally, may I tell people I know you??

2:42 am

Sally-catlover

rofl ruby.

2:43 am

rubyfoo

lane

2:43 am

Sally-catlover

Must update the garden photos some time. Too much to do in my life at the moment.

2:43 am

Haz1558

Oh yes, we can name drop.

2:43 am

rubyfoo

btw, haz, there's a great lexulous player named haz!

2:44 am

Sally-catlover

The house is a joy to live in but was very stressful at the time - more than we say on the site.

2:44 am

Haz1558

Really? I'm glad he/she is good. It's not me, but I'll bask in the reflected glory.

2:45 am

rubyfoo

and nice, too, not a competitive nut-case like some of them....lol

2:45 am

Sally-catlover

Am finding today's grid hard. Not flowing at all.

2:45 am

Haz1558

I used to be mistaken for a lady with the same name as me who entered breads into the local agricultural show competition. She won every year for years and people always told me how well I'd done. I was furious the year that she came third.

2:46 am

Sally-catlover

lol Haz

2:46 am

Haz1558

It's a one word at a time grid, and watch out for those wrong American spellings at the end of a couple of words.

2:46 am

rubyfoo

it's not like that medical grid the other day where each word had many offspring

2:46 am

Sally-catlover

I have found three of those American ones so far.

2:46 am

rubyfoo

*hmph*

2:47 am

rubyfoo

which????

2:47 am

Haz1558

They do it deliberately to try to catch us out, but we're up to their tricks...

2:47 am

Sally-catlover

which American ones?

2:47 am

Haz1558

hu5/16 - you need a good sense of this to laugh.

2:47 am

Sally-catlover

I think that would give it away, but they all have U as the second letter.

2:47 am

rubyfoo

I got that one, hahah

2:48 am

rubyfoo

tumor

2:48 am

rubyfoo

sorry again

2:48 am

Haz1558

And then there's a ru5 that there's a tu5.

2:48 am

Sally-catlover

There's also gossip and and the one you just got, ruby

2:48 am

rubyfoo

I got the gossip one, I thought that was the only way to spell it, silly me!

2:48 am

Sally-catlover

phantom: mooch

2:49 am

Haz1558

No, no, proper English has another u incorporated.

2:49 am

Sally-catlover

Do you think the vi 4/8 is meant to go with the co 6/21?

2:50 am

rubyfoo

phanotm: civet, color, viola

2:51 am

Haz1558

It sounds a bit painful, Sally.

2:51 am

Haz1558

ruby, change the vowels in your musical instrument for a French.

2:52 am

rubyfoo

I don't understand why they allow so many french words (all of which I miss), but thank you

2:53 am

Haz1558

You're welcome. I think the theory is that a French word is acceptable if it is kind of assimilated into the language, but whether that's correct is debatable.

2:53 am

Sally-catlover

there's a musical instrument?

2:53 am

rubyfoo

but then they're so weird about foreign food names

2:53 am

Haz1558

No, ruby said that viola was a phantom.

2:54 am

rubyfoo

no it's phantom strings....

2:54 am

Sally-catlover

Oh! I was thinking of the flower :-)

2:54 am

rubyfoo

is that flower like a primrose?

2:55 am

Haz1558

It's more like a small pansy.

2:55 am

Haz1558

They're very pretty.

2:55 am

Sally-catlover

Like a pansy, but smaller. Very pretty

2:55 am

rubyfoo

aaah

2:55 am

Sally-catlover

Snap Haz

2:55 am

rubyfoo

they grow pansies here all winter

2:55 am

Haz1558

We're joint co-founders of the Viola Appreciation Society.

2:56 am

Sally-catlover

Pansies and sweet peas are my favourite flowers. I usually grow quite a few sweet peas from seed. Too cold yet to sow seed yere.

2:56 am

Sally-catlover

We have winter pansies in some our pots.

2:56 am

Haz1558

Sweet peas are glorious for colour and scent, aren't they?

2:57 am

Sally-catlover

Fantastic Haz.

2:57 am

rubyfoo

sweet peas are a flower from my childhood; I've never seen them here. Will look in a couple of weeks when the night frost is finished!

2:57 am

Sally-catlover

ruby, we have a lot of a little plant which you might like. I call it Mexican Fleabane. Hang on and I'll find the Latin name. Loves dry poor soil.

2:58 am

rubyfoo

what color (colour lol) is it? I have no yellow or orange in the garden once the daffs and primrose are finished

2:58 am

Sally-catlover

Erigeron karvinskianus. A riot of small daisy like flowers which go from white to pink to purple. Impossible to kill - even the hens didn't manage, and it self seeds in cracks and gravel.

2:59 am

Haz1558

She's learning! We'll have you spelling proper English in no time!

2:59 am

Haz1558

lynxxx - you still here? Is Stew any better?

3:00 am

rubyfoo

I think we may have that growing in the "lawn". Is that possible?

3:00 am

Sally-catlover

If you put that into google images you'll see lots of pictures. Very low growing, lovely in pots.

3:00 am

Sally-catlover

Wouldn't have thought in a lawn.

3:00 am

Sally-catlover

None of ours has spread onto the grass.

3:00 am

rubyfoo

I think God may have planted it along with the primroses and buddleia

3:00 am

rubyfoo

oh, maybe not, then

3:01 am

Sally-catlover

God has planted quite a few buddleias for us, too!

3:01 am

lynxxx

Hi - yes, we had a bit of running round and jumped on beds etc

3:01 am

rubyfoo

Must go and do some work; seems like a successul detente around here.

3:01 am

rubyfoo

Must go and do some work; seems like a successul detente around here.

3:01 am

Sally-catlover

It romps away in the gravel though.

3:01 am

Sally-catlover

Bye for now ruby. I should be doing some paperwork too!

3:01 am

Haz1558

That's good. Did the car ride restore his spirits?

3:01 am

rubyfoo

One year my husband set the one existing old buddleia on fire by accident and the next year we had a dozen. all over the place

3:02 am

rubyfoo

he also set the pampas grass on fire another year and it is magnificent now

3:02 am

Sally-catlover

Bobbles. How do you set a buddleia on fire by accident?

3:02 am

Haz1558

He's a bit of a menace with matches, isn't he?

3:03 am

Sally-catlover

We have a wild flower here, rosebay willow herb, which is reputed to grow well after a fire. It appeared on bomb sites after the war.

3:03 am

lynxxx

Last night - yes, he has been much happier (and people call me silly!)

3:03 am

rubyfoo

our little vegetable garden was underneath an overhanging one and he was burning leaves.....he is careless, unfortunately, and has set quite a few fires.....

3:03 am

Sally-catlover

Tony once set some alight to see if it grew better. It didn't but judging by how it spreads that was as well.

3:03 am

Haz1558

Good, glad to hear that he's happier. Maybe he just needed a look round and a bit of an outing.

3:04 am

rubyfoo

see you soon, ladies

3:04 am

Haz1558

Bye ruby!

3:04 am

lynxxx

bye Ruby

3:04 am

Sally-catlover

bye ruby. May not be back later because out to lunch.

3:04 am

rubyfoo

only 39 words, but very nice flowery chat!!!! ((hugs))

3:05 am

Haz1558

And keep the number of the local fire brigade close to hand.

3:06 am

Sally-catlover

And lock up the matches!

3:07 am

cross star

hello

3:08 am

Haz1558

Hello, cross star.

3:08 am

lynxxx

hi Cross Star

3:08 am

cross star

32 left. this is a hard one!

3:09 am

Haz1558

It's not one for furiously typing, that's for sure.

3:09 am

Sally-catlover

Hi cross star, yes I agree I think it is hard.

3:09 am

lynxxx

You are doing well - much better than me

3:10 am

cross star

thanx. but it's killing me...hahaha

3:10 am

Haz1558

It's like a revision test in bygone babblets.

3:22 am

o-o

This little grid was a challenge

3:22 am

Sally-catlover

BR, that's the first time I've ever heard you say that.

3:22 am

Haz1558

Goodness, Babble, that's about the second time I've ever heard you declare a grid to be anything other than a breeze.

3:22 am

lynxxx

hi BabRab!

3:22 am

Haz1558

It's official. This grid needs a wee health warning.

3:23 am

o-o

Well, I lie a lot

3:23 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Babble Rabble. You are still on dry ground?

3:23 am

Haz1558

You mean we should sometimes just read between the lines?

3:23 am

o-o

still dry but the sandbagging is going fast and furious

3:24 am

Haz1558

I hope they do their job.

3:24 am

o-o

I am a plodder this is easily stumped and often frustrated

3:25 am

o-o

that is ...

3:25 am

cross star

wow babblerabble!! finished? what time did you start?

3:25 am

Haz1558

The secret is to not talk about the frustrations... that way people think it's a real walk in the park.

3:25 am

Sally-catlover

The secret is also not to chat!

3:26 am

Haz1558

Where's the fun in that? But I agree, it can easily be distracting if you're trying to do your own grid and chat AND give clues to other people.

3:26 am

o-o

I chat all the time ... my monitor, however, is quite taciturn

3:26 am

cross star

right!!

3:26 am

Sally-catlover

brb

3:27 am

Haz1558

On the plus side, BabbleRabble, it won't argue with you.

3:27 am

cross star

still fun.. right?

3:28 am

o-o

I imagine having to look at me so much is quite depressing

3:30 am

Haz1558

Monitors are very longsuffering.

3:30 am

o-o

I just finished fixing a little computer problem that has been irking me for a bit ... nice to find a solution

3:31 am

sandrafrances

how many words today please

3:31 am

o-o

98

3:31 am

Haz1558

Well done! When I have a computer problem, I'm afraid it has to remain a problem until I can find somebody else (usually my daughter's boyfriend) to fix it. He says very little, has a little grin on his face, and two minutes later, it's done.

3:31 am

sandrafrances

thanx

3:32 am

o-o

Nice to have someone like that around.

3:33 am

Haz1558

It's very nice. I'm hoping she hangs onto him.

3:33 am

Haz1558

I give him food at every opportunity to try to keep him onside.

3:33 am

o-o

In one of my more dour moments, I told a Microsoft tech that microsoft support was an oxymoron and that he was mot an oxy but the rest fit

3:34 am

diann

hello sandrafrances

3:34 am

Haz1558

And did he laugh or just say 'huh?'

3:34 am

Sally-catlover

splutter! Wonderful BR.

3:34 am

sandrafrances

hello diann how are you doing

3:34 am

Haz1558

It's made me laugh, that's for sure!

3:35 am

diann

up to 37 and having difficulty now. What about you??

3:35 am

o-o

he said no need for getting personal

3:35 am

sandrafrances

40 and cannot find any more

3:36 am

Haz1558

There's probably a chart somewhere in Microsoft with a big black mark against your name.

3:37 am

Sally-catlover

Thank goodness for my Apple Mac!

3:38 am

o-o

I think you are right ... it was that same tech that could not fix the problem I solved today

3:38 am

sandrafrances

diann now 41 and going to have some breakfast otherwise i will be late for my shopping date!!!

3:39 am

diann

see you later kid

3:39 am

Haz1558

You should ring him up and take him through it step by step. He'd really appreciate that, wouldn't he?

3:39 am

cross star

hints? still at 36

3:39 am

sandrafrances

okee dokee 42

3:39 am

Sally-catlover

Naughty Haz

3:39 am

diann

I suggest you just go and get ready

3:39 am

o-o

Had not thought of that ... just told him to close the file.

3:40 am

Haz1558

Purely for the benefit of future frustrated Microsoft users, you understand.

3:40 am

unithorn

Go Linux!

3:40 am

Sally-catlover

lol uni.

3:41 am

cross star

linux

3:41 am

Sally-catlover

Shows how my mind works. I went to a quiz last night where the answer was Linus (as in the Peanuts strip). I wrote Linux before I realised.

3:41 am

lynxxx

phantom: lunatic

3:42 am

Haz1558

Well, I must leave you to the debate on which is best, I need to get ready to go out.

3:42 am

Sally-catlover

See you Haz. Have a good day.

3:42 am

unithorn

...but....but...there IS no debate *grins*

3:42 am

sandrafrances

diann 44

3:42 am

unithorn

Have a good day. It's 0100 here!

3:42 am

Haz1558

Nice to chat and maybe see you later. Just keep dredging up previously seen babblets and the grid is doable. Bye!

3:43 am

lynxxx

bye Haz, have good day

3:43 am

Haz1558

Bye!

3:57 am

rubyfoo

I'm back although probably still stuck at 39 words. However, having re-heated yesterday's lovely soup, I am not so cold anymore

3:57 am

rubyfoo

Is anybody still here? I need a roll call! lol

3:59 am

Sally-catlover

Hi ruby, still here but just about to vanish and see how many pennies we have in the piggy bank.

3:59 am

Sally-catlover

Have finished, do you need any clues?

4:00 am

rubyfoo

little by little I'm getting the taxes sorted out and had a great talk with dh yesterday, so all will be well, at least for a while lol

4:00 am

Sally-catlover

dh being husband?

4:00 am

Sally-catlover

or accountant, lol?

4:00 am

rubyfoo

yes, pls, a clue for the 7 and the beginnings of the 2 8's. I've begun to write down babglets, but my accumulation is still small.

4:00 am

rubyfoo

would you like some yummy soup for lucnhc?

4:01 am

rubyfoo

husband, I've fired the accountant and will use an old friend/'accountant instead

4:01 am

Sally-catlover

Going out to friends for lunch so have only had banana for breakfast. Long wait to lunch! Hang on while I sort out some clues.

4:02 am

rubyfoo

it's tricky, because all the stuff here is in French, but I sorted out the French authority on Tuesday; the woman in charge remembered that I had given her a jar of jam about 6 years ago!

4:02 am

Sally-catlover

The 8s: ci 8/45 and ur 8/50

4:02 am

Sally-catlover

Good thinking on the jam ruby.

4:03 am

rubyfoo

gave the monkeys bananas and have put them to work!

4:03 am

rubyfoo

small gestures can mean a lot, especially when these people are so appreciative of non-arrogant foreigners!

4:04 am

Sally-catlover

The 7 is co 7/40. Start with a child's bed then (thinking)

4:05 am

Sally-catlover

OK, co 7/40, start with child's bed, then consonant which is silent in French, then Greek vase

4:06 am

Sally-catlover

The ci 8/45 is another name for coriander

4:07 am

rubyfoo

loved the spice, still working on the vase and the ur

4:07 am

Sally-catlover

The ur 8/50 would sound as if you were very drunk if it started with the abbreviation for paragraph!

4:07 am

rubyfoo

you are so smart!

4:07 am

Sally-catlover

Some of these are very hard to clue.

4:08 am

rubyfoo

ural

4:08 am

rubyfoo

bad monkey, bad nel!

4:08 am

Sally-catlover

Nice place I believe ruby

4:08 am

rubyfoo

urinal is another phantom! lol

4:09 am

Sally-catlover

Yes but you're in the right area, so to speak :-)

4:10 am

Sally-catlover

The ur 6 and the ur 8 both end with the nervous twitch

4:11 am

rubyfoo

ooh, got the 6

4:11 am

Sally-catlover

Must empty washing machine, be back in two shakes.

4:12 am

rubyfoo

these are just two of us, plus dogs of course, and I do at least one load of wash a day. Is that crazy?

4:13 am

Sally-catlover

Yes it is crazy!

4:13 am

rubyfoo

and my husband doesn't perspire....

4:14 am

rubyfoo

yay, got the ur8

4:14 am

Sally-catlover

Yay, ruby!

4:15 am

Sally-catlover

Have you found the two girl's names?

4:15 am

rubyfoo

4:15 am

cross star

rubyfoo

4:16 am

rubyfoo

4:16 am

cross star

4:16 am

Sally-catlover

There's an A which is a lily

4:17 am

rubyfoo

4:17 am

rubyfoo

herinfernallady

Hi I was hopping for a larger grid so busy later

4:18 am

Sally-catlover

There are some very familiar babblets, like the aa 5/10

4:18 am

Sally-catlover

It's a very hard one herin

4:19 am

rubyfoo

hello lady, got things sorted out around here but this is a very hard grid!! fun, though

4:20 am

cross star

4:20 am

herinfernallady

Good ruby you don't take crap from no one OK

4:20 am

herinfernallady

Not finding the grid to difficult but I really am not thinking so maybe the odd thoughts is helping

4:22 am

rubyfoo

yes indeed lady and we talked it out and I said so!

4:22 am

herinfernallady

Good

4:23 am

rubyfoo

I just tried to cheat by using the scrabble dictionary to find the aa word. Enable doesn't accept it!! aalii, too funny

4:23 am

cross star

4:23 am

rubyfoo

HI Sally and night Cross

4:25 am

Sally-catlover

That sometimes happens, but sometimes I think I put a space in at the beginning by mistake.

4:25 am

Sally-catlover

Hi herin, not really here, am sorting washing and must go in a bit.

4:25 am

rubyfoo

multi-tasking sally!

4:25 am

herinfernallady

I am watching law and order

4:26 am

herinfernallady

erk that sounds annoying. I would rather SubTitles

4:26 am

rubyfoo

do you watch the CSI shows? Those, at least, aren't dubbed. I dream about William Petersen....

4:27 am

herinfernallady

They aren't on at the moment

4:27 am

rubyfoo

I don't mind French-language films, but husband can't understand them enough

4:27 am

The J is my name.I haven`t been in the grid for ages.

4:36 am

rubyfoo

does anybody ever use it without the suffix?

4:37 am

rubyfoo

I was in it once (not ruby, my real name, nancy)

4:37 am

hydra

I seem to have arrived a little late in the day for clues. I saw my name in the grid once, but it doesn't have a meaning as a word! Lorna

4:37 am

rubyfoo

but I never use it because of nancyboy! lol

congratulations Ormal!!!

1:22 pm

Ormal

ty all. Now I have to figure out what to cook for dinner later so I can take some meat out.

1:24 pm

redturtlehead

well, Chicken seems to be always popular.

1:24 pm

Ormal

I LOVE chicken. My problem is narrowing down what dish to cook. :D

1:25 pm

redturtlehead

that I can not help with, I tend to put the chciken in with a can of soup, cream of something and bake it....and then I am done.

1:25 pm

Nancy Boy

I just made a great greek(ish) chicken dish for dinner. Yummm.

1:26 pm

bichon

I like chicken in chicken stock and then add rice or noodles

1:26 pm

Nancy Boy

not that I'm upping my cooking skills...a fool could make this

1:26 pm

redturtlehead

it sounds nice, I love the stuffed grape leaves...when seasoned nicely.

1:26 pm

Ormal

Nancy Boy...Greekish? Hubby is Greekish

1:27 pm

Ormal

What did you do

1:27 pm

Nancy Boy

very loosely greekish ;) the kind of greekish that an actual greek person might laugh at ;)

1:28 pm

redturtlehead

as long as it is edible!

1:28 pm

bichon

I love Greek yoghurt, Fage

1:28 pm

Ormal

He doesn't laugh - he eats - WHATEVER I stick in front of him. He's happiest if it's tasty, or has Kalamata olives in it. lol

1:29 pm

redturtlehead

thats good husband, my Dad is like this too...

1:29 pm

Nancy Boy

just mixed some houmous (or hummus if you like) with greek yoghurt in roughly even amounts, use this to line some toasted pita bread pockets; cut some chicken breasts into small chunks and marinate them for 30 mins in turmeric, cumin and ground coriander before cooking in a wok or whatever...put these in the pita bread, add some sliced yellow pepper, lettuce, and tomato...

1:30 pm

Nancy Boy

and serve with bibs and tissues because, seriously, it's SO messy

1:30 pm

redturtlehead

NancyB, that sounds very very nice....

1:30 pm

Ormal

Bichon - I never had that. Nancy Boy, that sounds great to me!

1:30 pm

Atalante

sounds yummy!

1:31 pm

Nancy Boy

Simple but effective. You end up wearing a lot of it though :)

1:31 pm

Nancy Boy

oh! I forgot the lime juice. You put the spices in the lime juice and then you marinate the chicken in all of that. d'oh.

1:31 pm

redturtlehead

chog gets silent as we all secrectly head to NB's home....

1:31 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL

1:31 pm

Ormal

raid his table and reach for the bibs

1:32 pm

Nancy Boy

if people are interested in the recipe I'll put the whole thing with quantities etc in my profile...having a recipe in there is the new in thing. It's quick to make, anyway. Fits a purpose ;)

1:32 pm

Atalante

would be nice with prawns too, with less humous and more gloop

1:32 pm

bichon

Does anyone here eat Fage [pronounce Fay-yee] like crazy. It's so creamy and not too tart

1:33 pm

redturtlehead

not sure we can get it here....

1:33 pm

Atalante

never heard of it!

1:34 pm

bichon

They sell it in the US

1:34 pm

Atalante

what is it?

1:35 pm

periwinkle

1:35 pm

1:46 pm

pippingeek

1:47 pm

Atalante

1:49 pm

Ormal

Thanks for the food ideas everyone. I wrote yours down it sounded so good NB. Gotta run, phone keeps ringing.

1:49 pm

Nancy Boy

I agree, Ata, I'm a huge fan :) I shudder to think what I must have spent on Radiohead tickets so far. Worth it though.

1:49 pm

Nancy Boy

oooh, thanks Ormal :D

2:05 pm

sciencegeek

no protein?

2:06 pm

Nancy Boy

because in terms of calorie intake, I have a choice between food and alcohol. and...well...

2:07 pm

pippingeek

according to my headache and stomach, alcohol is the devil

2:07 pm

Nancy Boy

I don't have the knack of balancing things very well. Chicken this evening though! Mmm, meat.

2:07 pm

sciencegeek

alcohol is pure carbs

2:07 pm

2:10 pm

redturtlehead

Well. I have unexpectedly finished off the T's/ We are having quite a stormy day...

2:11 pm

Nancy Boy

I compromise, Science. In my early teens I developed anorexia, but my relationship with food is a lot more healthy now.

2:13 pm

EvaNadine

*drowns peanut butter cup cupcake in kahluah and offers it tNB*

2:14 pm

Nancy Boy

Kahluah, Eva? :)

2:14 pm

EvaNadine

if youre gonna cupcake, you may as well cupcake right. ;)

2:16 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL. This I believe thoroughly! At one point, literally all I would eat was celery and lettuce leaves. But food is something to be enjoyed now :D

2:16 pm

pippingeek

interesting red, only just started raining here, but very windy all day

2:17 pm

redturtlehead

very dark and wet here....

2:17 pm

kc8501

gah. one reason I can't do anorexia. I'm not a huge lettuce fan...

2:17 pm

redturtlehead

I think I am going to take a break. need to sleep.

2:18 pm

kc8501

also, I am unfortunately a huge FOOD fan. As is evidenced by my thighs!

2:20 pm

EvaNadine

i used to eat very healthily -- small portions more often throughout the day, and TONS of fruits and veggies. it wasnt intentional, i just ate what i wanted when i was hungry.

somehow, that turned into burgers and mac-n-cheese in huge portions...

2:21 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL Kc. I don't think it's something you "do", I think it's more something that suckers you in. For me, I had an obsession with "being healthy" - not realizing, of course, that I really, really wasn't.

2:22 pm

kc8501

ok... any hints on the it 6? Oh believe me NB, I know... just making a little light.

2:22 pm

Nancy Boy

It6? writing that slants sideways :)

2:23 pm

it6 is a type of font... bold, underlined, or it6

2:25 pm

oh, dear NB, would that i could.

3:51 pm

those are *not* my pictures :(

3:55 pm

we don't accept porn on this site mia -- please take it down.

3:55 pm

Lindrickway

perhaps you can report them

3:55 pm

dcseain

ah, like flosey and last.fm

3:55 pm

Lindrickway

if someone else has put them there you should be able to report them

3:56 pm

Lindrickway

yes people invade your space!

3:56 pm

dcseain

not your account then, mia?

3:56 pm

miametro

it was pulling from someone else's (obviously very naughty) account! fixed now. sorry guys!

3:56 pm

Lindrickway

no worries miametro, we all get invaded now and again

3:57 pm

Lindrickway

glad we could let you know there were there! (0:

3:57 pm

dcseain

indeed we do, it happens. thank you for addressing it . :)

3:57 pm

Reese\'s

thank you Mia. Mom would have never let me play babble again if she saw that pic.

3:58 pm

Lindrickway

it can be very scary how people would want to do that!

3:58 pm

Lindrickway

do not be sorry miametro, this was not your doing and was addressed quickly, no harm done

3:59 pm

Lindrickway

but very worrying non the less that people would want to invade someones space!

4:00 pm

miametro

i think it was more that babble was pulling in the wrong account - those pictures weren't on mine (thankfully)

4:00 pm

cybernan

and that someone would be able to -- thought this was a relatively 'safe' site. I hope Dr. G. catches it.

4:00 pm

Lindrickway

We get trolls here often, thankfully usually there are only verbal!

4:01 pm

Lindrickway

cyber do you know how to contact dr G to let him know?

4:01 pm

cybernan

no -- he used to have a link for such things, but don't see it now.

4:02 pm

Lindrickway

but someone usually contacts him for trolls so someone must know

4:02 pm

DC do you know?

4:02 pm

Lindrickway

miametro do you know?

4:03 pm

Lindrickway

anyone?

4:03 pm

Dorens

it's easy... at bottom of this page.. become a friend of babble.. his email

4:03 pm

dcseain

well, this could be a matter like flosey and last.fm, where usernames on the two sites don't match

4:04 pm

Lindrickway

so will it be fixed now that miametro has taken it off her profile?

4:04 pm

dcseain

should be, as other pictures are linked now

4:04 pm

Lindrickway

it seems a little scary DC that this can be on someones profile without them even knowing

4:05 pm

oh. I missed some hot pics...

4:22 pm

Reading back, it doesn't look to me like miametro left upset (I assume this is what you're referring to), Dr G has been notified, and it's probably some weird fluke with flickr.

I am pleased that this has not affected your game! this is a game! when someone is defiled by pornography it is not to be taken lightly, this is not a case of a simple troll, it is more than that, it has entered this poor womans profile and the fact she left without saying goodbye makes me believe it upset her very much as it would anyone! I can't just leave it there and go on with a puzzle!

I don't feel this can be considered a Troll as I would be devestated!

5:38 pm

jmcnrick

5:41 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Sounds like a thrilling day in Babbleville!

5:42 pm

jmcnrick

apparently lindrick has dropped out of babble because she felt people didn't react properly

5:42 pm

jmcnrick

people are people even in babbleland

5:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

what's your icon?

5:43 pm

Lady Biotch

don't you have to register a username to post pics on flicker?

5:43 pm

Kaplan the Magne

How were we supposed to react to material that was not li5?

5:44 pm

jmcnrick

probably -- i don't use flicker -- i do know another babbler had problems with someone else's taste in music being attributed to her by flicker

5:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

no that was last fm je. do all of the u words begin with un?

5:45 pm

crosshair

yaa for littlebit!! glad your check up went well.i have a checkup myself tomorrow at our cancer hospital

5:45 pm

jmcnrick

as near as i can tell the people who were here (and i was not one of them but went back and read the archive) were not indignant enough for lindrick

5:45 pm

jmcnrick

my icon is my late husband i put it up yesterday because it was his birthday

5:45 pm

littlebit

thanks crossy!! let us know how it goes for ya!!

5:45 pm

72 Temple Owl

5:45 pm

jmcnrick

just haven't decided what to change to yet

5:46 pm

jmcnrick

as far as i am concerned everyone is welcome except hardcore trolls

5:46 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I'm sorry- I don't understand how people can personalize the randomness of chat.

5:47 pm

Lady Biotch

I was lurking (as always) but I wasn't so convinced that the pics weren't that persons to begin with sorry - just me being me

5:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

belaboring it makes it worse. een there. nuff said. *dives into grid*

5:47 pm

jmcnrick

well there are distinct personalities in chat kap -- but i don't take it seriously when i am criticized

5:47 pm

stidgmere

It looks like your husband was giving a lecture. What was his specialty?

5:47 pm

flosey

hi stidgmere

5:48 pm

jmcnrick

he was a deaf criminal trial lawyer and he was arguing a case stid

5:48 pm

jmcnrick

and if things get heated i leave for a few minutes until a new group of people wander in

5:48 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Distinct personalities, yes--but it's still a chat on a game!

5:48 pm

Barb's Horses

hi all

5:48 pm

jmcnrick

hi barb

5:48 pm

stidgmere

Thank you jmc, it looked interesting.

5:48 pm

pippingeek

that was going on right as my internet cut out - and frankly i felt like lindrick went way over the top in the reaction to the matter

5:48 pm

jmcnrick

exactly kap

5:49 pm

Lady Biotch

I soooooooooo agree with you pippin

5:49 pm

pippingeek

and had it been my flickr pix that were showing porn i would have left just t avoid hearing the response

5:49 pm

stidgmere

Well, here's to placid waters and cool temperaments prevailing.

5:49 pm

Barb's Horses

is it just me or is this one difficult?

5:49 pm

jmcnrick

i came in right as lind was leaving so i went and read the archive

5:49 pm

jmcnrick

this one is difficult barb

5:49 pm

crosshair

uh oh, i was keeping it light and chatty at the time cause i suspected it went in there by mistake

5:50 pm

jmcnrick

*pours oil on water*

5:50 pm

stidgmere

I think it is difficult because I type in some gosh awful combination and it turns out to be a real word.

5:50 pm

Barb's Horses

lol too funny stid

5:50 pm

Angelsong

hi, all. I got an e mail from a Babbler who has left the game....some fireworks in the chog today?

5:50 pm

pippingeek

it was a mistake that it was there, and then lind was all "dr god needs a way to make sure this can never ever happen!"

5:50 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have gotten most of my words today by monkeying.

5:50 pm

jmcnrick

*taps toes and looks at watch*

5:51 pm

Barb's Horses

how is everyone?

5:51 pm

jmcnrick

almost quitting time

5:51 pm

stidgmere

Are you going somewhere jmc? I got my hair cut today. So much for glamour.

5:51 pm

jmcnrick

pippingeek

5:51 pm

Lady Biotch

geez, I wonder if she emailed her congressman too? lol

5:51 pm

jmcnrick

are you all glamorous now stidgmere

5:52 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I think people bring themselves to whatever group they join.

5:52 pm

stidgmere

Wasn't me, I am a latecomer and non participant in any of the prior stuff.

5:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

onstead of catching up on the news i am enjoying a show of sance and techno. why do i feel guilty?

5:52 pm

stidgmere

I am true glamour in my sweatshirt and jeans.

5:52 pm

jmcnrick

*gently smacks lady's hand*

5:52 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I am just here to chill and excercise my rapier-like wit.

5:52 pm

jmcnrick

because TO one of your great joys in life is feeling guilty *pokes TO in the ribs*

5:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Because I am Paul Lynde.

5:53 pm

stidgmere

Probably shows up as one of those attachments (babblet?) to a bill.

5:53 pm

jmcnrick

*hands kap a hone*

5:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

don't mess with me, sistah

5:53 pm

Angelsong

hi, Jmc

5:53 pm

stidgmere

Kaplan, I feel like jousting--nono, that is on Puzzle Pirates. Wrong game.

5:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

A hone?

5:53 pm

jmcnrick

lol TO

5:53 pm

crosshair

paul lynde?? i just had a nasty hollywood squares flashback

5:53 pm

Barb's Horses

geesh don't you hate it when your brain takes a vacation without you...mine just did

5:53 pm

jmcnrick

to sharpen your wit

5:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty je

5:54 pm

Barb's Horses

i remember watching paul lynde LOL

5:54 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oh- I thought it was bone. You can see I need it.

5:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

the old hs had tons of double entrendres

5:54 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Paul Lynde was so subversive.

5:54 pm

stidgmere

If my brain took a vacation without me, it would at least get to go someplace.

5:54 pm

Barb's Horses

lol

5:55 pm

jmcnrick

Kids!
You can talk and talk till your face is blue!
Kids!
But they still just do what they want to do!
Why can't they be like we were,
Perfect in every way?
What's the matter with kids today?

5:55 pm

Kaplan the Magne

All Paul Lynde had to do was say Good Morning with a leer and it became a double entendre.

5:55 pm

Lady Biotch

sorry, I tell it like it is...and i know sometimes feelings get hurt but I really wasn't convinced those weren't her pics - otherwise why did she just disappear?

5:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

*dancing *

5:55 pm

Barb's Horses

trouble is you think it would at least bring you back a t-shirt or something

5:55 pm

Lady Biotch

ok I am done with the porno stuff

5:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

tomorrow is my day off!

5:55 pm

Kaplan the Magne

EspritdJean

5:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

stidgmere

Go, go, jmc; you're the boss, right?

5:58 pm

jmcnrick

5:58 pm

Barb's Horses

5:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oh- I didn't realize I've been placed in a home. I guess you're right.

5:59 pm

jmcnrick

I am trying to set an example

5:59 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Lady Biotch

6:06 pm

Lady Biotch

6:06 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Groucho walks into the courtroom, puts is portfolio on the table and says "I rest my case."

6:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

"I never forget a face...but in your case I'm willing to make an exception."

6:07 pm

Lady Biotch

6:09 pm

crosshair

crossy warbles the song 'black velvet band" off key....

6:10 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Is ther a list please?

6:11 pm

Kaplan the Magne

This is what I mean about people really shouldn't take the banter here personally. We'd all be leaving an a huff!

6:11 pm

crosshair

licketys seems to be working fine herin

6:11 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Lady B, did you go to the cafe I told you about?

6:11 pm

herinfernallady

Brillant I need to do this and go

6:12 pm

Lady Biotch

I haven't yet but a friend of mine who is in the coffee business went there the following day on a sales call

6:12 pm

Lady Biotch

she said it was great!

6:13 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Really?

6:13 pm

Lady Biotch

I became on fan on FB and now i get there daily specials plan on heading up there the next nice Saturday

6:14 pm

Kaplan the Magne

That is so cool!

6:15 pm

Lady Biotch

small world because as soon as my friend saw on FB that I became a fan she posted a FB message saying she already had an appointment with them for the next day

6:16 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Excellent!

6:17 pm

herinfernallady

Thank you crossie I need the list

6:17 pm

Lady Biotch

do you live in NE too?

6:17 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I live in Somerville, Mass- just outside of Cambridge.

6:18 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Somerville used to be to Cambridge what Pawtucket is to Providence- but then came gentrification.

6:18 pm

Lady Biotch

I don't know why I thought you were in the DC area

6:19 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Because I'm so senatorial?

6:20 pm

Lady Biotch

I really don't know why I thought DC maybe it was something you said in a chog once who knows..

6:20 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I must have been lying about something.

6:21 pm

Lady Biotch

maybe you said something about having dinner at the white house lol

6:22 pm

stidgmere

Senators have dinner in the cafeteria.

6:23 pm

Lady Biotch

Not if there name is Kap!

6:23 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I wouldn't know.

6:23 pm

stidgmere

The magne makes me think, large head?

6:23 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I don't plan on finishing my last 20 words.

6:24 pm

Lady Biotch

I KNOW I won't finish by 47!!!! words - I am really bad at this game

6:24 pm

stidgmere

I have 50 and there is not way this grid is going to be finished. I still have whole letters without one entry for them. Oh, the shame of it.

6:24 pm

pippingeek

okay, now that i've seen the whole chog account i think the pr0n issue got way out of hand

6:25 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Magne was just a typo. I was typing magnificent, as in "Mr Kaplan the Magnificent." As I explained when I joined, he was the title character in a series of stories in the New Yorker.

6:25 pm

Lady Biotch

Thank you!

6:25 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Lady B, this is not a game, it is LIFE.

6:25 pm

pippingeek

hah!

6:26 pm

pippingeek

4 left and losing steam

6:26 pm

Lady Biotch

ok so I guess my life sucks - or I am bad at it, anyway

6:26 pm

pippingeek

going to go get my work shirts out of the dryer and see what i can finish

6:26 pm

stidgmere

In other incarnations, we will be much better.

6:26 pm

stidgmere

See you later pippin

6:26 pm

Kaplan the Magne

arco

6:26 pm

pippingeek

and maybe dad will have drunk himself to sleep so i can get some food and salvage what's left of my day off

6:26 pm

Kaplan the Magne

OOOPS

6:27 pm

herinfernallady

Hey again and on porn I found pics on my b.fs community hard drive and I said to him I don't know what is more disturbing this or Brittany Spears on itunes. Smarty pants said At least it wasn't Celion Dion

6:27 pm

Lady Biotch

thanks, Kap. Attention everyone, 46 left!!!

6:27 pm

Kaplan the Magne

LOL

6:27 pm

Kaplan the Magne

How can you read the whole chog? I have nothing better to do

6:28 pm

tfgrrl

Gas station?

6:28 pm

herinfernallady

Kap I am a spred reader

6:33 pm

herinfernallady

and i am done and out

6:37 pm

pippingeek

well, guess i'll eat later. or have some peanut butter. or just not eat. safer than dealing with dad

6:37 pm

pippingeek

now, let's tackle these last 4!

6:39 pm

stidgmere

Pipp, you sound like its really a tough time right now. Anything we can do?

6:39 pm

stidgmere

Herin, are you fireworked? Good!

6:40 pm

pippingeek

just help me pass the time till june comes and i can get the f*** out of here

6:40 pm

pippingeek

i suppose i could leave sooner since june is an arbitrary leaving time, but i'm trying to save as much money as possible first, and that's when tourist season ends

6:40 pm

stidgmere

Well, that chat has been pretty lively this late afternoon. Some people have gone home from work but others should be coming on from home.

6:42 pm

stidgmere

It is difficult to leave when money accumulation is a big part of why you are whre you are. I hope at the least you are safe.

6:42 pm

pippingeek

my monkeys are tired, any hints for the un5/14?

6:42 pm

Kaplan the Magne

well, I read the chog and it happened just before I came stumbling in. Chog is not group therapy!

6:43 pm

pippingeek

i'm safe, just spend a lot of time hiding in my room and then getting yelled at for its lack of cleanliness

6:43 pm

Kaplan the Magne

it seems there was some content that was not li5.

6:43 pm

stidgmere

I don't have 5, 14 yet.

6:43 pm

pippingeek

but at least dad doesn't attempt the stairs ever, so that's a bonus

6:43 pm

stidgmere

Hard to clean a place you want to leave.

6:44 pm

pippingeek

harder to keep things clean when you're living out of boxes for 2 years and there's no "away" to put stuff

6:44 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I'm leaving before the fireworks.

6:44 pm

pippingeek

i'm basically just throwing away everything to get her off my back

6:44 pm

pippingeek

kap! we can help!

6:44 pm

stidgmere

Okay Kaplan, enjoy your dinner at the White House. Hope you have your invitation--no I guess we don't need those any more, its come as you are.

6:48 pm

pippingeek

finally, got the r's! now, 2 more left...

6:49 pm

pippingeek

Nef

Hi Everybody. How are you all tonight? And how is the grid?

9:44 pm

Jellen

Hi, Nef! Tired...

Jacula

LOL, Trif. Do you have a teenaged stepchild and a son who should have left home for his 'own space' years ago and a daughter who has left home but still comes home but can't find her old room?

Jacula

Hi Nef.

9:50 pm

Jacula

'Night Trif.

9:51 pm

Jacula

Coriander is fine in small doses. I don't like a lot of it in food.

9:51 pm

Nef

Jac, as someone who didn't get along with my own step mother (and she hated me!); I left and was raised by an aunt. My step mother and I are good friends now. I was disowned when I left at age 16; so it took about 6 years before we could be civil

9:51 pm

Jacula

It's more overpowering than garlic if used too freely.

9:51 pm

Jellen

brb...

9:52 pm

Nef

nite Trifi

9:52 pm

Jacula

Nef - well, I hope that doesn't happen to me and step! We get along okay, but just annoy each other at times.

9:53 pm

Jacula

Sometimes, I get annoyed, not so much as her but at her former schooling and her mother.

9:56 pm

Nef

My step mother is 11 years older than me; she was 26 when my Dad came and got us 4 kids (ages 15,13,10, & 8) and added us to their kids (ages 2 & 4); my older sister wouldn't go with us. Step mother had been an only child; she was over-whelmed

9:56 pm

Jacula

For instance, earlier this evening when she came home from work experience at a local farm, the knelt on the floor with her head down and got in the way. 'Stop praying to Mecca and get out of the bloody way!' I said. 'Who's Mecca?' she asked. Luckily, my son was in the room I'd just left and I knew he would explain it to her.

9:57 pm

Jacula

Nef - I, too, was an only child, but onluy because my twin died before we were born.

9:58 pm

Jacula

I am 12 years older than Step's Dad and a fair bit more older than her mother.

9:58 pm

Jacula

I'm only about 9 years' younger than her mum's mother.

9:59 pm

Nef

I was pretty DUMB when i was 15. Once my stepmother told me to "watch the roast" while she ran off to the store for something. She came back and the roast was burnt; she got mad and I told her what time the roast started burning

9:59 pm

kje

hello - back for my last 22... almost forgot and had gone to bed!

9:59 pm

Nef

hi kje

9:59 pm

Jacula

I'm 37 years older than my stepdaughter.

9:59 pm

Jacula

Almost 38, in truth.

10:00 pm

Nef

Wow! Congrats for "robbing the cradle," Jac1

10:00 pm

Jacula

LOL Nef.

10:01 pm

I didn't actually TRY! It just happened and felt right.

10:01 pm

kje

Jellen

Hi, kje

10:04 pm

kje

hi big blue J!

10:04 pm

Nef

My AUnt and Uncle who raised me were very strict; but when it camme down to living with my own father (who put no limits on us at all) or a strict rigid place to grow; I chose the strict place

10:04 pm

kje

i just got home from phantom on stage, and a huge dinner with a cocktail and 3 glasses of red wine - I am sleepy

10:05 pm

Jacula

Nef - I will, I do, and I know, but she still, since she does have sense of humour, 'expect' me to play the wicked stepmother from the fairytales, so she often has to take 'the poisoned apple' for lunch, or get ground glass in her dinner. LOL

10:05 pm

Nef

wow, kje! You still remembered to come back and finish Babble!

10:06 pm

kje

well, eventually, yes... I am in bed and was almost asleep

10:06 pm

Nef

Babbling in bed: now *that* sounds decadent! ;-)

10:07 pm

kje

LOL - this is where i babble 90% of the time

10:07 pm

10:08 pm

kje

co6/27?

10:09 pm

Jacula

Unfortunately, I haven't yet succeeded in making her wear rags and sweep the hearth whilst my daughter went off to a ball to meet Prince Charming.

10:09 pm

Nef

I can't imagine it, kje. I fall asleep at my keyboard often enough; but using a computer in bed would give me a backache

10:09 pm

Jacula

Pshaw! You can't get the staff these days!

10:10 pm

Nef

Jac, I don't think there are any Prince Charmings left these days, are there?

10:10 pm

dixmak

ar5 clue please?

10:10 pm

kje

ar5 - playing field or music venue?

10:10 pm

Nef

(sorry, kje, I don't have it yet. Working on it, but haven't found it yet)

10:10 pm

Jacula

Nef - there are! They're shy so they won't present themselves when you're looking for them.

10:11 pm

kje

k

10:11 pm

Jacula

They will arrive when you least expect it.

10:12 pm

Nef

LOL, Jac. My DH is a Prince, but never was a Prince Charming!

10:12 pm

Jellen

Ooh, I met a Prince Charming...

10:12 pm

Jellen

Then I met Tim...

10:12 pm
