3:31 am

Atalante

there's ho5 too

3:37 am

lynxxx

Ata - you use FF I think, how long has the translation been available?

3:39 am

Atalante

not sure, I stopped using FF *gasp*!

3:41 am

lynxxx

oh well, not important, just hadn't noticed until week or so ago. It's useful

3:41 am

VolleymomDee

well 14 left for tomorrow... falling asleep here

goodnight Volley, sleep well

3:43 am

Atalante

I never thought I'd find a browser I liked better. Till Chrome came along

3:43 am

gremlinn

What does Chrome do better?

3:43 am

lynxxx

Crossy was talking bout that recently

3:44 am

Atalante

speed mainly. it's very intuitive to search - you just shove your search into the url bar. but it's so so fast

3:44 am

joshuavorbis

it's faster and it uses less of your computer's resources than ff

3:45 am

gremlinn

With my new computer, I don't have to worry about resources anymore, heh - was quite a relief

3:46 am

joshuavorbis

i notice a difference on a big imac

3:46 am

Atalante

i notice a big difference on my laptop, and that's not exactly short on resources

3:47 am

gremlinn

I'm all for Chrome if it gives people one more way to give up IE.

3:47 am

joshuavorbis

chrome works well on almost all the sites i visit, but not all

3:47 am

joshuavorbis

i definitely use chrome for babble

3:47 am

Atalante

do try chrome. it also seems more stable. I've never had it crash. yet. lol

3:48 am

gremlinn

I think I tried it one time, but I am happy with FF for now.

3:48 am

lawyer-1

Have you tried Opera 10.50?

3:49 am

gremlinn

There's also this browser I heard about called Flock which is based off Firefox (and they try to keep things parallel to it) which has social network integration focus.

3:50 am

Atalante

I think I only ever use Opera when I'm testing websites ...

3:50 am

joshuavorbis

one of the things that will hopefully always be great about firefox is open source

3:50 am

Atalante

Flock isn't very stable, in my experience

3:50 am

gremlinn

I have tried the latest Opera, I think.

3:50 am

gremlinn

Never tried Flock, just heard about it recently.

3:50 am

lawyer-1

10.50 is quite new and fast

3:51 am

Atalante

flock is a great idea, not so great in actuality

3:51 am

gremlinn

I don't care about speed and stability and usability. All I care about is...perfect standards compliance!!!

3:52 am

jillibus

Interesting about Flock -- my grand-cousin was working for them for a while but left -- don't know why. I've never tried it.

3:52 am

gremlinn

First implementations of great ideas often crash.

3:52 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all.

3:53 am

Atalante

Haz! La Glitterata!

3:53 am

Haz1558

Hello!

3:55 am

Atalante

we have a dog-filled grid today

3:55 am

Haz1558

Is Crufts still on? Is that why?

3:56 am

Atalante

quite possibly

3:56 am

Haz1558

Bound to be. That's settled.

3:57 am

jillibus

I want to get an affordable laptop -- what shall I get? I just misssed a golden opportunity --a second hand Sony VAIO SR140DS with Vista, loaded, for $600, listed locally -- someone got there ahead of me :(

3:57 am

jillibus

Oh yes, of course, DrG in the US midwest knows about Crufts

3:58 am

jillibus

Hello Haz

3:58 am

Andree

hi haz

3:58 am

Haz1558

Do I detect a slight whiff of sarcastic font? Clearly you don't share my faith in Dr-G.... Hello, jillibus!

3:58 am

Haz1558

And Andree, hello.

3:59 am

jillibus

hehe Haz

4:00 am

Haz1558

If only there were corgies for the qu5.

4:01 am

jillibus

4:01 am

gremlinn

How about rottweiler? Close enough?

4:02 am

Atalante

pugs were in yesterday

4:02 am

jillibus

no Dane this time, though

4:04 am

jillibus

oh, I'm over halfway and we lose an hour of sleep tonight (daylight saving starts) so I'd better go to bed -- busy day tomorrow with visiting grandson and his unwife

4:04 am

Atalante

unwife!

4:05 am

Atalante

this will only make sense to UK people but all I can see is lil-let

4:07 am

Haz1558

Good morning, ruby.

4:08 am

Haz1558

This is a nice grid for long words, isn't it?

4:08 am

lynxxx

Hello Ruby - and Haz! our little co***** with the lovely li**

4:09 am

rubyfoo

hello haz

4:09 am

gremlinn

All of those -er and -ed places make for lots of long words, yeah.

4:09 am

Atalante

tell you when I find more than 2 lol

4:09 am

rubyfoo

hello lynxxxx

4:09 am

Haz1558

Ah, lynxx, begorrah, to be sure, to be sure..

4:09 am

rubyfoo

hi ata, how are you feeling today?

4:10 am

Atalante

bit better. another very quiet day ahead :)

4:11 am

Haz1558

Aren't you going to visit your mother for MOther's Day?

4:11 am

Atalante

I'm not very good at quiet ...

4:11 am

Atalante

no. she's miles away!

4:11 am

Atalante

I did send her a card and present though

4:11 am

rubyfoo

Mothers' Day is in May in US; is it today in UK or if only you're an Irish other

4:11 am

Haz1558

Love knows no distance....

4:12 am

lynxxx

wow, thats a guilt trip and a half Haz

4:12 am

rubyfoo

*mother

4:12 am

Haz1558

Whoever wrote that was clearly a fool.

4:12 am

Atalante

it doesn't. which is why Royal Mail is closing the distance for me

4:12 am

Haz1558

It's Mother's Day in UK and I assume Ireland as well.

4:13 am

Atalante

and I will of course phone her

4:13 am

rubyfoo

I don't know about here, my only *children* here are Ruby and Max and they don't say much

4:13 am

Haz1558

One daughter was being very complimentary to me when she wrote on my card that I'm a very good sp7/32. (She was listing my virtues)

4:13 am

Atalante

but its not like I don't speak to her most days anyway!

4:14 am

Atalante

looool. did she comment on you're grammer too?

4:14 am

rubyfoo

lol, haz

4:14 am

Haz1558

Indeed she did. My grammar was praised as well.

4:15 am

Atalante

phew

4:15 am

Haz1558

She knows what's important.

4:16 am

Atalante

which daughter got the brownie points for those?

4:16 am

Haz1558

The younger one. The older one commended me for being right more often that not. I've raised those girls well.

4:16 am

Atalante

they both did well then!

4:17 am

Haz1558

They're both in my good books for the day.

4:18 am

Atalante

might you feed them more than gruel for the day?

4:18 am

Haz1558

Yes, younger one is away, of course, the older one will get at least one potato.

4:19 am

Atalante

goodness. she will think herself honoured. the other one will have to make do with a virtual potato

4:20 am

Haz1558

I know - do you know you can buy tinned potatoes? Who ever thought of such a travesty?

4:20 am

Atalante

tescos

4:20 am

Atalante

not as bad as the dreaded whole-chicken-in-a-can

4:20 am

lynxxx

the person who thought of tinned asparagus of course

4:20 am

rubyfoo

that's a horrible idea! how hard can it be to peel a potato and imagine how much salt they add

4:21 am

Haz1558

It's fascinating to me that you can buy tinned fried onions. Or frozen breakfast on a plate.

4:21 am

rubyfoo

growing up, I only had tinned asparagus and hated them!

4:21 am

lynxxx

...as for tinned pumpkin

4:22 am

Haz1558

Big tins?

4:23 am

rubyfoo

no no, wait, Libby's brand tinned pumpkin is the best way to make pumpkin pie! I've never been able to succeed with fresh.

4:23 am

rubyfoo

the texture is perfect!

4:23 am

rubyfoo

the ones with tinned are superb. My friends send it from the US!

4:24 am

lynxxx

I just don't understand, pumpkin cooks in flash.

4:24 am

rubyfoo

yes, but the fresh kind is to watery to make a good flan-type filling that rises in the oven in my French pastry tart

4:24 am

rubyfoo

it depends whether you're eating it as a veg or as pie!

4:25 am

Atalante

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVOmWiA
7hVo - whole chicken in a can. it's horrid!

4:25 am

rubyfoo

next Thanksgiving, Lynxx, come to Frnce and I'll show you!

4:25 am

rubyfoo

big can!

4:25 am

Haz1558

Worse than tinned pumpkin, Ata?

4:25 am

Atalante

watch and see .......... *ominous noises*

4:25 am

lynxxx

I don't think I can look at that Ata, really

4:26 am

Atalante

it's just - horrid!

4:27 am

Haz1558

Come on, lynxxx, you're Australian! You're brave and ready for anything!

4:27 am

rubyfoo

I love this grid!

4:27 am

lynxxx

Wouldn't roasting then mashing give you the right texture Ruby?

4:27 am

Atalante

good point, Haz :P

4:27 am

Atalante

it's only 48 seconds long!

4:27 am

Kazzer99

Morning all - on the chicken thing - whne i was very poor - a long time ago the local childrens charity gave out christmas boxes that had xmas dinner in tins with a toy - i had chicken in tin - turned it into soup

4:28 am

rubyfoo

maybe, but when you make the pie, it is very easy to just beat in eggs and sugar and condensed milk and it's always perfect

4:28 am

Haz1558

Goodness, Kazzer, you're a recipient of chicken in a can? You've survived, that says something.

4:28 am

rubyfoo

the grid or the pumpkin pie prep? lol

4:28 am

Kazzer99

not been around much - have new morning routine - have to be out of the house by 0610 and dont get home till 1930

4:29 am

Kazzer99

haz yes i did - it smelt disgusting

4:29 am

lynxxx

hi Kazz

4:29 am

Atalante

was that a superior English chicken in a can though?

4:29 am

Kazzer99

i can still remember it 34 years later

4:29 am

Haz1558

That's a demanding schedule, Kazzer, no wonder babble has taken a back seat.

4:29 am

Kazzer99

i dont think so ata

4:29 am

lynxxx

TY Ata, I didn't really need to see raw chook in a can!

4:30 am

Atalante

I have to say that I've eaten pretty disgusting foods around the world, but I'd never actually gagged just looking at something until I opened a chicken-in-a-can

4:30 am

Atalante

it's cooked, lyn, not raw!

4:30 am

Haz1558

Why, is the chicken on the video an inferior foreign one?

4:30 am

Trifioso

hello babble friends. insomnia again -- ugh. on the plus side, it does mean I get to visit with you fine UK/aussie babblers!

4:30 am

Haz1558

Well, there's an encouragement to view a video - it made Ata puke.

4:30 am

rubyfoo

chook is a word I've only learned since I've been playing scrabble and babble with people from Australia. I love the word, but is it acceptible in either game?

4:30 am

Kazzer99

morning trif

4:31 am

Haz1558

Hello Trif!

4:31 am

rubyfoo

hello trif. But what about us Frenchies???

4:31 am

Haz1558

No, chook isn't acknowledged by enable.

4:31 am

Trifioso

bonjour francaise!

4:31 am

Atalante

the vid is from the US, I think

4:31 am

Kazzer99

we only eat chickie from the farm shop now - they run around in the field at the back - very nice

4:31 am

lynxxx

oh my god - it is cooked (mictrowaved I suppose!) blech

4:31 am

rubyfoo

merci trif!

4:31 am

Haz1558

Ah!

4:31 am

Atalante

wasn't the video!! it was the Real THing.

4:31 am

Haz1558

We shall say no more....

4:32 am

Kazzer99

mine came in thick globby jelly

4:32 am

Haz1558

So the video is okay? The real thing is the killer?

4:32 am

lynxxx

hi Trif

4:32 am

Atalante

yep ... it's quite .... fowl. hahaha.

4:33 am

rubyfoo

kaz: it probably made a great soup!

4:33 am

Atalante

the video doesn't come with surround smell

4:33 am

Trifioso

have come late to this convo, but I must say, chicken in a can sounds gross.

4:33 am

Haz1558

Kazzer, if you could find out who manufactured/distributed the chicken, I'd say you could sue. The mental distress has obviously been enormous.

4:33 am

Trifioso

can't say it's worse than haggis, though

4:33 am

rubyfoo

why don't they allow eel as a verb?

4:33 am

Kazzer99

it did actually - i washed it off first and just ckucked in the rest of the tinned stuff - apart from the cream and the xmas pud of course

4:34 am

Haz1558

Haggis is an acquired taste, I'll grant you, but does it cause nightmares and uncalled for nausea?

4:34 am

Haz1558

Because eel isn't a verb?

4:34 am

Trifioso

um, yes, haz, it does.

4:34 am

Atalante

and - LOL - when I decided that I couldn't face looking at the chicken-in-a-can any more, I offered some to Hobbit. She ran away.

4:35 am

Kazzer99

I love haggis - we have it every burns day and i usually put a few in the freezer for later in the year

4:35 am

rubyfoo

I've never had the opportunity to eat haggis but I think it must be like something the locals call "petit paquet", entrails wrapped in entrails, instant sick!

4:35 am

rubyfoo

but whet about the eel fisherman, eelers?

4:35 am

Haz1558

Haggis is okay, I can eat it in small quantities. Don't forget that it's probably a big treat for people raised on porridge.

4:36 am

Kazzer99

no - its all minced up with oats and seasoning. if you like liver you would probably like haggis and you can get it in synthetic casings

4:36 am

Haz1558

Yes, but they don't eel for eels, they fish for eels.

4:36 am

Atalante

but you can be eelier

4:36 am

Haz1558

Haggis was only ever cooked in entrails, it's not done like that any more, some plasticky thing instead.

4:37 am

rubyfoo

PL, you win, lol

4:37 am

Kazzer99

now thats dispusting food - eels - they give me the heebie jeebies

4:37 am

Trifioso

a good new england girl, I eat every single thing the sea offers, and happily so. I think if you fed me eel in a fish dish of some kind, and didnt' tell me what it was, I would happily nosh away. However, if you said "oh, ElizaBeth, try the eel!" I am not sure I could get over the psychology of what I was eating....

4:37 am

rubyfoo

*OK*

4:37 am

Atalante

eel is really really tasty

4:37 am

Haz1558

Lough Neagh, near here, is famous for its eels.

4:37 am

rubyfoo

I think Italian food (eels in green jelly) and sushi got me over the "eel thing"

4:38 am

Kazzer99

no i would even eat chicken in a tin over eels

4:38 am

redturtlehead

Hi all...eel is part of the dinner of seven fishes at Christmas. It's pretty tasty in soup. But then again I wont eat liver.

4:38 am

rubyfoo

grilled with a little miso sauce (and a lot of sake) might change your mind

4:38 am

Haz1558

Hello red.

4:38 am

Atalante

river eels are yummy. sea eels aren't so yummy, but they still taste ok

4:38 am

rubyfoo

hi red

4:38 am

lynxxx

morning Red

4:38 am

Atalante

eel sushi is gorgeous

4:39 am

redturtlehead

just "enjoying being up for Daylight savings time and work.....

4:39 am

rubyfoo

sake on the side, not on the eel

4:39 am

Kazzer99

no way - its not the taste its the concept of eels

4:39 am

Haz1558

You're not presented with a whole eel when you eat eel, just sections.

4:39 am

Atalante

eels are just fishies!

4:39 am

Haz1558

Long, snaky fishies.

4:39 am

Trifioso

again, as long as I was eating in ignorance, all would be fine

4:39 am

Kazzer99

dont care - i can see them wriggling away and thats it

4:39 am

rubyfoo

I just don't like to catch them when I'm salt-water fishing. They are large, rown, nasty and have big teeth!

4:39 am

Haz1558

(Ata, do you suppose lots of babblers are heaving at the minute?)

4:39 am

rubyfoo

brown

4:40 am

rubyfoo

this is a great breakfast conversation!

4:40 am

Atalante

I love eating marine eels. Revenge for the twice the buggers have bitten me

4:40 am

Haz1558

Random fact, this dog <---------- is making a sound like a pneumatic drill at the minute.

4:40 am

redturtlehead

nah, I'm just drinking down coffee....had breakfast earlier with the chickie in a can mess...

4:40 am

lynxxx

did you all read The Tin Drum?

4:40 am

Kazzer99

funnily enough when i was younger i had no problems eating conger eels and i think i could now as they are usually served as cutlets

4:40 am

Haz1558

I should really ring a vet to see if there's anything wrong - hold the receiver so they can hear...

4:41 am

Atalante

awwwwww! snoozy spangle

4:41 am

rubyfoo

yes, that's how I learned to NOT catch them in rivers!

4:41 am

Atalante

only if it's been going on for at least 3 days, Haz

4:41 am

Haz1558

It's been 3 minutes. You think I should wait?

4:41 am

Atalante

another minute or so

4:42 am

Trifioso

my poor stepmom was swimming in the chesapeake bay one summer, in about chest de4 water, when she saw something floating in the water...she went over to see what it was, and it was a barrel of bait eels that had fallen off a boat. When she turned the barrel to see, all the eels came swimming out and went all through her legs, under her arms, etc. to this day, I cannot understand HOW she did not have a cardiac arrest on the spot. talk of curiosity killing the cat!

4:42 am

redturtlehead

youcould rush her off to the emergency vet....

4:42 am

lynxxx

Eeeeewwwwwwwwwww

4:42 am

Haz1558

We are the emergency vet....

4:42 am

redturtlehead

Trif, I am surprised she didnt either, ick.

4:42 am

Atalante

just don't take her to that mean vet that threatened to put her down

4:43 am

rubyfoo

that's horrible; I don't think I could survive that!

4:43 am

Haz1558

No, we'll steer clear of him.

4:43 am

Trifioso

red! you can't sleep either huh?

4:43 am

redturtlehead

well, Haz, in that case. shes already there. no need to rush.

4:43 am

rubyfoo

dreams of eels!

4:43 am

redturtlehead

No, I am about to go to work Trif.

4:44 am

rubyfoo

is the noise respiratory?

4:44 am

Kazzer99

i am off now to do some of the things i no longer have time for in the week, i will try to come back later - only 91 left to get. As an aside I did walk 12 miles yesterday!

4:44 am

Trifioso

wow! EARLY shift!

4:44 am

Trifioso

wow! EARLY shift!

4:44 am

redturtlehead

excellent Kazz.

4:44 am

4:44 am

Haz1558

It's throaty. Seriously, she sounds like one of those drill things digging up the road.

4:44 am

redturtlehead

Trif, its daylight savings time today, almost 6 am!

4:44 am

rubyfoo

12 miles!

4:44 am

lynxxx

wow Kzz - you need today off! bye

4:44 am

Trifioso

12 miles! wow, I bow to Kazzer!

4:45 am

Atalante

I'd be worried. But not worried enough until the emergenecy vet is either happily asleep or busy eating dinner

4:45 am

rubyfoo

did she swallow something and it's stuck? hairball?

4:45 am

Haz1558

12 miles, and all on one chicken in a can!

4:45 am

Kazzer99

my sis's little dog used to get furball things in his throat and make noises like that just before he was sick

4:45 am

Haz1558

ruby, don't worry, she's just happily asleep. Happily and noisily asleep.

4:45 am

redturtlehead

or was it 12 miles to get away from the chook in the can?

4:45 am

Atalante

and very snorily asleep!!

Water beetles, pond skaters and so on, also tiny fresh water shrimps

Scrabbler

I may go for a walk later.

2:14 pm

stidmama

2:15 pm

Scrabbler

There will be soft snow--tough to ski through. I could snow shoe I guess.

2:16 pm

harpjane

ar6/24?

2:16 pm

Scrabbler

How are the Stid boys doing?

2:16 pm

stidmama

snow of any kind would make me want to stay inside. I am blissfully relaxing this weekend.

2:17 pm

stidmama

the boys are well. the elder is practicing the trumpet, the younger steadfastly ignoring the trombone...

2:17 pm

stidmama

Tom is up and about "doing" dishes or bread, I think. he's in the kitchen.

2:17 pm

City 17 dweller

a circle, harpjane

2:18 pm

Scrabbler

I did a 2 hr walk/hike with a friend on Friday--probably 7-8 miles--so I feel as though that takes care of my exercise quota for a few days.

2:18 pm

stidmama

well. down to 98 suddently!

2:18 pm

stidmama

I think I read about that one, scrabs. sounds exhausting!

2:18 pm

harpjane

hm.

2:19 pm

Scrabbler

Invigorating and then later exhausting--sore muscles and blisters on my feet.

2:20 pm

stidmama

I spent all day yesterday in bed... resting up from the week. And went to the concert in Seattle last night, which was lovely. Tom drove, which was good because I wasn't ready to drive yet -- I really am too old to do "all nighters" at the end of the quarter.

2:21 pm

Scrabbler

You deserve to rest, Stid.

2:21 pm

stidmama

I think this coming quarter I will be better able to stay on top of things.

2:21 pm

harpjane

what concert stid?

2:22 pm

rururocks

*what kind of all-nighter?* *giggles*

2:22 pm

2:22 pm

rururocks

*go Tom go*

2:23 pm

Scrabbler

I have been doing house chores--laundry, cleaning, painting,...

2:23 pm

stidmama

At Benaroya, the Seattle Symphony. Had a guest conductor, James Gaffigan, and a pianist Ingrid Fliter. VERY fine concert.

2:23 pm

Scrabbler

Silly Ruru! How is young Dylan?

Scrabbler

Bye Jane

2:24 pm

stidmama

well, I am stuck at 95 words, and have a personal desire to find the desk next to Tom's chair (where I have been working all quarter). It seems to have been covered by an avalanche

of books and papers.,

2:24 pm

Scrabbler

How old are your girls now, kth?

2:25 pm

kthdsn

Scrabbler

Hi NB

2:29 pm

rururocks

was.. he was a great, great dog

2:30 pm

Mudd

I love this grid, but it's been an education. My clue for the day would be if you can't find a longish word, add -ed, en, or er to the end of what you last worked on.

2:30 pm

Mudd

Some results are really questionable, but they're accepted so ....

2:30 pm

Dorens

yes mudd, that is frequently the case

2:30 pm

Scrabbler

I have a new pet as of today. I found a baby mouse in the basement, easily caught him, and put him in an old hamster cage. He is really tiny and now hops into my hand when I put my hand down to his level.

2:30 pm

helensgirlkid

Sometimes -et

2:31 pm

Scrabbler

Hi hgk

hello everyone

2:31 pm

Nancy Boy

Scrabbler, that's the most adorable thing I've EVER heard.

2:31 pm

Dorens

oh this must be the season. my less than talented cat (the male, not lucy) chased one into my bedroom the other morning, chased all around the room, and LOST it!

2:31 pm

Scrabbler

I know that some people would kill a mouse or reaily put out mouse poison, but I like mice.

2:32 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Annie

2:32 pm

Dorens

i think they're cute actually, but prefer to see them outside.
hi annie

2:32 pm

Nancy Boy

lol, Dorens!
Our kitty, Lola, is a bit scared of mice.

2:32 pm

Anniebrook

I cant stop entering chortle...someone stop me, hi Scrabbs, are you naming the little guy?

2:32 pm

Anniebrook

hi dorens

2:32 pm

kthdsn

we used to have pet mice

2:32 pm

Dorens

i like have-a-heart traps.. then let them out. have a larger one for the groundhogs... and take them to woods

2:33 pm

Scrabbler

I wondered whether to share my story but I am glad that I did. This wee mouse was slowly exploring the basement--he must have been so confused and lonely and probably recently out of the nest.

2:34 pm

Scrabbler

Good for you, Doren. I need to get some for the remaining mice residents. I also figured out their entry point from garage to basement and must block that off.

2:36 pm

Nancy Boy

Scrabbs, that's just so cuuute. Are wild mice safe to keep as pets?

2:36 pm

rururocks

anyone have the last ne 6/18?

2:52 pm

rururocks

2:52 pm

Scrabbler

Whenever blackouts occur I have great appreciation for those who lived (and still live) without electricity.

2:52 pm

Dorens

2:53 pm

Dorens

ruru, you'd appreciate this... i'm at ken's house with his 4,000 bottles in the cellar... many silver oaks, but i want the old french burgundies myself

2:53 pm

rururocks

we have a neighbor that doesn't use electricity

2:53 pm

I am with you on the burgundies Dorens

2:54 pm

Scrabbler

4000 bottles!!! That takes a lot of space! And are they indexed?

2:54 pm

Dorens

no.. i think they'd be more upset b the move than they are being home alone for a few days.
and i sort of agree ru.. silver oak doesn't do it for me, but he's got thousands of dollars worth

2:54 pm

rururocks

*hides under desk*

2:55 pm

Dorens

he has a large cellar, and they are indexed in someway in his head -- he knows what's where... i sure don't

2:55 pm

rururocks

I can't stand Silver Oak ...

2:55 pm

rururocks

Dorens

he made an obscene amount of money in wall street in the 80's, and put a lot of it into wine at the time. but he is also a generous philanthropist, so it's not all that bad

I have seen evidence of mice in my basement but today I actually saw this one wandering. Poor little guy.

3:37 pm

Mom

Sally and Annie, make sure it is one I don't have when you "accidentally" use a word

3:37 pm

Scrabbler

I think it is a male and am thinking of names.

3:37 pm

FMitch

Lovely to see you too,hope all is well with you and yours.

3:37 pm

Anniebrook

Hi Ata!!!!

3:37 pm

Atalante

Sily ran away from a mouse too ...

3:37 pm

Mom

oh Scrabbler, I would be freaking out

3:37 pm

Anniebrook

Scrabbs, are you naming the little guy?

3:37 pm

Uneaixoise

scrabbs, he's looking for his Snuggie!

3:38 pm

Uneaixoise

it's coooold outside!

3:38 pm

FMitch

lol Ata

3:38 pm

Scrabbler

Why Mom? They are adorable. Yes, the bigger issue is mice in my house and I will work on that with the safe traps and blocking the entrance between garage + basement.

3:38 pm

Anniebrook

FM, I had a perfectly lousy awful stomach flu for a few days but I am feeling very well now.

3:38 pm

Scrabbler

Silly Sily!

3:39 pm

Sally-catlover

Ata, we once had a cat who rounded the barbecue and saw a bird the other side., He (the cat) jumped so that all four feet left the ground! Wish I had had a camera to hand.

3:39 pm

Mom

I do not like rodents of any kind

3:39 pm

Uneaixoise

glad you're all better, annie!

3:39 pm

Atalante

it was very embarrassing

3:39 pm

FMitch

It has been the most lovely spring weekend here, gives one the rememberance that winter will go.

Awe so sorry to hear that Annie.

3:39 pm

Atalante

looooooooool!

3:39 pm

Scrabbler

Initially the mouse was scared and tried to bite me (his wee teeth didn't cause any harm) but now he climbs into my hand.

3:39 pm

Mom

Annie, I'm sorry you weren't feeling well. Hope you will be on the mend soon

3:40 pm

Atalante

mice are adorable

3:40 pm

Scrabbler

Yuck, Annie. Stay hydrated.

3:40 pm

Uneaixoise

3:40 pm

Anniebrook

Scrabbs, Have the bunnies seen the mouse yet?

3:40 pm

Scrabbler

I will have to take his ic and post it in FB.

3:41 pm

FMitch

I have a pair of field mice living in the garden and I spoted another one the other day (different cos it had a white bottom).

3:41 pm

Anniebrook

I am better now. Thanks all for your kind comments.

3:41 pm

bichon

We once had pet mice. It didn't turn out well

3:41 pm

Scrabbler

The mouse's cage is on a table in Miss Bea's room. Miss Bea might go on alert and thump when the mouse runs on the wheel.

3:41 pm

Anniebrook

Field mice are cute.

3:41 pm

lynxxx

3:45 pm

Scrabbler

Bichon, I am guessing that the cat needs more water now?

3:46 pm

Sally-catlover

lol scrabbler, see you have your priorities right.

3:47 pm

Atalante

I would ... but I have an assignment to finish over the weekend *sigh*

3:47 pm

bichon

3:57 pm

Scrabbler

Duh, Ata, you are smarter than him!

3:57 pm

Sally-catlover

Yay, Ata!

3:58 pm

Anniebrook

Good for you, Ata!

3:58 pm

Atalante

he just doesn't like to *try* things he doesn't know

3:59 pm

Nancy Boy

Ata, I didn't know you were married!
*sighs* so there is no hope for me then?

3:59 pm

Atalante

it's really so he can blame me if it goes wrong LOL

3:59 pm

Atalante

I think Leo and the kitty might object ....

4:00 pm

Sally-catlover

Hobbit too.

4:00 pm

Nancy Boy

true that ;)

4:01 pm

dcseain

wow, quite a number of qu7s

4:01 pm

4:01 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Seain

dcseain

hello, scrabbler :)

4:01 pm

Anniebrook

Later, Scrabbs and hi dc

4:01 pm

dcseain

njoy ur break

4:02 pm

dcseain

hi, annie, ata, and NB

4:02 pm

Sally-catlover

Watch out Nancy Boy - then she'll have you for breach of promise!

4:02 pm

Nancy Boy

Hi, Seain! :)

4:03 pm

Atalante

4:03 pm

Nancy Boy

4:05 pm

Atalante

2 weeks time I *think*

4:05 pm

dcseain

cool, i'll look it up, and try to recall that it's only 4h later there for now :)

4:06 pm

Atalante

I hate these few weeks of difference, it's very confusing

4:07 pm

dcseain

i'd rather stay in this time year-round. we only spend 20 weeks/yr on so-called standard time.

4:08 pm

Atalante

ditto

4:09 pm

dcseain

the dried tortellini Tom bought are truly awful.

4:09 pm

dcseain

i'm wondering if a good pesto would make them any better. one bag left to try that.

4:10 pm

Nancy Boy

you should live here Seain...we are too poor to afford alcohol AND food, guess which we choose though ;)

4:10 pm

dcseain

we plenty of alchol - i plan to follow the horrible pasta up with some Wild Turkey

4:11 pm

dcseain

and my typing indicates that my fingers think i've been imbibing already LOL

4:13 pm

4:17 pm

Atalante

at least you can get decent tequila up there, NB. It's impossibel in Kent!

4:18 pm

dcseain

huh. that st5 is valid w/out an A in front

4:18 pm

sammysmom

clue please for the qu 9/55. my monkey is so tired

4:18 pm

dcseain

i hate tequila, and we an get some real good stuff.

4:18 pm

sammysmom

8/55 that is

4:18 pm

Sally-catlover

there's no q9 sammysmom

4:18 pm

LuvWordGames

plural the 7/40 before it

4:18 pm

Nancy Boy

I always say Ata, if you can't find it anywhere, you can find it in London

4:18 pm

Atalante

we get crap tequila. I only know one shop that sells decent stuff and that's in Soho

4:19 pm

dcseain

what do you like, some can be sent.

4:19 pm

Atalante

absolutely!

4:19 pm

dcseain

email me, if you'd like

4:19 pm

Atalante

I'm surviving till I move over there, then I can buy Patron at a price that doesn't kill me!

4:20 pm

Atalante

but if I get desperate, I will - ty!! :)

4:20 pm

dcseain

ah, planning to stay in Oregon?

4:20 pm

Atalante

if the government will let me ...

4:21 pm

dcseain

yes, the hard part that. Having worked for Customs, i know all about that.

4:21 pm

Atalante

I *think* I can get a visa for visiting academics. I'm hoping anyway. At least for a few years

4:21 pm

Dorens

if it helps, ata, you have a whole lot of very impressive babble friends who will vouch for you

4:21 pm

dcseain

may it be so

4:22 pm

Dorens

of course, it won't help, but it's still nice to think about

4:22 pm

Atalante

oh yes ... if only it went on friends and how much they wanted you over there!

4:22 pm

sammysmom

still do not see the qu8/55..there is no way to make o plural of the 40 i havde before iut

4:23 pm

dcseain

qu8 is plural of an odd-to-me qu7.40

4:23 pm

Atalante

use a different 40 then

4:23 pm

lynxxx

there are 2 n's Sammy

4:23 pm

Atalante

a shhhhhhy one!

4:23 pm

LuvWordGames

to make someone silent and then plural

4:23 pm

Sally-catlover

It isn't really a plural, but a mother qu8 her child by singing to it softly.

4:24 pm

dcseain

i've never heard nor seen that qu7.40 before, sally. Is it used in England?

4:24 pm

Atalante

oh yes, to qu7 something down

4:24 pm

Sally-catlover

to make someone silent? Yes, are you sure you are thinking of the right word?

4:25 pm

sammysmom

i ned the que 8/55

4:25 pm

LuvWordGames

take the qu 5/16 add 2/3 of the number after nine and then add plural letter

4:26 pm

Atalante

and we've just been clueing it ;)

4:26 pm

lynxxx

Sammy - there re 2 n's - one is near the bottom

4:28 pm

Sally-catlover

I think Sammy must be looking at the wrong Q word

4:28 pm

Nancy Boy

ohhhh, I need to decide what to wear this evening. I wish I had a virtual wardrobe so you all could help me decide!

4:28 pm

Kaplan the Magne

4:28 pm

4:33 pm

lynxxx

hi Katie

4:33 pm

Nancy Boy

very classic ;) might have to doll it up a little though - there's been some issues on the door of heaven because now they won't let you in if you look "too straight"

4:33 pm

Sally-catlover

Hi Katie

4:34 pm

dcseain

hm. that ast5s me, but dolling up is easy.

4:35 pm

KatieMcG

hmmmmm I can see why they would want to keep the majority of people in the club gay but isn't it difficult to decide who looks 'too straight'?

4:35 pm

dcseain

some fun eye makeup could do well with that.

4:36 pm

dcseain

yeah, that's kinda where i was katie.

4:36 pm

Nancy Boy

yep! and who am I kidding...I could never get mistaken for being too straight.

4:36 pm

KatieMcG

Lol NB at least you will always get in. Need to be careful who you take with you though!

4:37 pm

dcseain

i have a lovely turquise African Suit that might work.

4:37 pm

Bye all, BBL. Have fun tonight Nancy

4:37 pm

KatieMcG

bye lynxxx, see you tomorrow

4:37 pm

Sally-catlover

night lynxxx

4:37 pm

Nancy Boy

you're right, Katie...I don't know how they do it. I think it's just something to do with general outrageousness. which is strange, because you wouldn't expect such a strange stereotype from a gay establishment.

4:38 pm

Nancy Boy

Seain, I like the way your mind works.

4:39 pm

periwinkle

hello all

4:39 pm

KatieMcG

I've had a straight friends that had to beat men off with a stick (he just had that 'look' which was nothing to do with the way he dressed) and a gay friend who no one would believe was gay, very difficult for both of them. I thought they should go out on the town together and swop who they attracted lol

4:39 pm

mkg

5:12 pm

dcseain

:D as it should be, jmc

5:13 pm

dcseain

that would work here, if she'd ever lay on Tom. They're an awful lot a like, which makes it awkward. Last night, she was curled up beside me on the bed. He sat down, petted her, and she hopped down, for example.

I believe the population of Michigan State University is 45,000+

6:33 pm

my middle school had 2200 students, and the HS i opted out of had 5000

6:33 pm

dcseain

uni had only about 15000

6:33 pm

and he was looking at a private university with under 5000 students but the cost was prohibitive

6:33 pm

dcseain

my sister's uni had only 5000

6:33 pm

LuvWordGames

his graduating class from high school with be under 100

6:34 pm

PAV3

my HS class was 400...I was #39, but only because I got a C in AP Calc...I hated it...and eventually ended up taking calc six times over the course of my BBA and MBA..is it ne4ed...NO!

6:34 pm

Those school sizes are huge by British standards.

6:34 pm

dcseain

friend of mine got a JD/MS in Int'l Relations from the Fletcher School of Tufts/Harvard.

6:34 pm

LuvWordGames

sounds impressive dcseain

6:34 pm

dcseain

typical for at least this part of Virginia those sizes. The smalles school in my district graduated 96 students the year i graduated HS, the largest graduated 1800.

6:35 pm

dcseain

it's a good program. he went on to work for cell companies, doing pricing and marketing, and is working on a PHD in history, with an emphasis in the religious history of Wales.

6:36 pm

dcseain

stats is so much easier than calc, in my opinion

6:36 pm

LuvWordGames

well at least when he's at MSU he'll be attending James Madison college which specializes in Internatinal Relations so his core classes will be in a smaller environment but his math, science, etc. will be on the larger campus

he'll be able to take a higher French class since he's had four years of French already and probably a higher Spanish having completed 2 years of that

it wasn't so much a ne4 to be fruitful in arguing, because yes, they have the final say unless it's pretty bad, but this was about my name, and that I am half Puerto Rican and my family never uses an accent

I think I would have to argue about how to spell or accent my last name too. My maiden name was unusual and I always had to explain and spell it but I was still proud of it

6:47 pm

dcseain

some surnames have differently pronounced accented and unaccented variants, e.g. VÃ¡squez and Vasquez

6:50 pm

PAV3

I had a similar event in my MBA (first class on Ethics) where I argued that speaking in class about anything, just for the sake of hearing whether one can find articles to support a lesson or topic of interest, is not a good judge of a person's caliber. The "required speaking or relating of news articles" was not in the syllabus, and she used these as part of the grade. I told her in front of the class, "I come by my brown nose naturally", and if we didn't have "ethic" in our bones by then, her class wouldn't matter....

Here is my story of clues to te 4/4 today.I do not te 4/5 to be a lurker, however,when I en5/10ed Babble today, I was a qu 5/16 lurker. I dove de 4/6 into the grid today. I sp4/5 through the 1st 140 words.I was re6/18less to finish the grid.But my monkeys put me through he 4/5 today because they would not le 4/5 me a hand & I could not depe4/6 on them.They went haywire and I could not get them un 5/14 ontrol.So I prayed to the Lo 4/5 to help, but that did not help lo 4/4 either. So I re 6/21 on clues from chog. So now I consider this grid nu 4/5 and void. This grid gave me a head ac4/6.My head ac 5/16 long after I quit grid. After 158 words and 1986 points, I still didn't make a de 4/5 in graying any tiles.After I quit,I went to the de 4/5 to get some lunch.Then I just sp 4/5 the rest of the day hanging out ar 6/24 the house & watched tv. I would like to end this story by telling you that I st5/10 a list from gremlinn & put it in my profile.Well it is that ho4/6 when I have to pe4/5 my eyes of the computer and take my shower. Th 4/5 I am going to go get under my bed sh5/12s and nice warm qu 5/16.

Bugs, I TAUGHT a lesson on Thursday! AND according to the kids I polled, I rated at least a "solid B" LOL they thought I would be upset, but I thought it was great.

Book Doctor Gwen

wtg seain !!!! ~~~~ !!!!

10:57 pm

Bugsaw

and well done stid! I think it is great that the kids gave you a B. It means they understood it but were still being loyal to their regular teacher whom they love without wanting to say it.

10:58 pm

stidmama

:-D yep, that's what I thought. They are good kids.

10:58 pm

Bugsaw

It is hard for student teachers to jump in and teach one lesson because you don't always know how well prepared they are for the info.

10:58 pm

pippingeek

good for you, stid! yay!

10:59 pm

stidmama

well done stid -- being able to establish a rapport with the kids is 90% of what teaching is all about.

10:59 pm

I know Bugs -- the nice thing was it was a new unit, and I got to choose what to focus on and how to teach it!

10:59 pm

11:01 pm

ADHDWordLover

ch6/33 clue pretty please?

11:01 pm

Of course the teacher is pleased with the student she got. It is YOU and you love what you do and you love the kids. That is what makes a good teacher
