Jillibus - pretty fish. Many years ago, when DD was young, we bought four little goldfish for $1. (total - they were from the 'feeder' tank). Two lived for about eight years, grew to be about seven inches. A friend told us they were koi - who knows, we just thought they were the prettiest fish on earth.
1:16 am
jillibus
Yay -- got all the Ys.
1:16 am

Lucky purchase, Christine! I read that koi are a variety of goldfish.

And that's it for me -- 32 left for tomorrow.

They would've cost much more than 25cents, if we'd purchased them as koi. Anyway, even as goldfish we thought them special.

I will look...
2:44 am
rubyfoo
there is a you tube video of my son's last band in which the lead guitar died ladt week. Is anybody interested in the link? It's rock and roll and John is the pale one
2:45 am
rubyfoo
the guy was JTWright and the band was ATX Solstice
2:45 am
herinfernallady

2:48 am

2:49 am
herinfernallady

2:49 am
rubyfoo
maybe JTWright?
2:49 am

I'll try it again
2:49 am

I have to go deal with nasty DH!
2:50 am
herinfernallady
http://tinyurl.com/yyqf299 Here my dear. I found it
2:51 am
rubyfoo
then do I add the rest to it?
2:51 am
herinfernallady
no if you wish to share the video this is the URL to use on Babble
2:52 am
rubyfoo
I will fool around with it and try to do something
2:52 am
herinfernallady
Ruby hun all you need to do is copy this URL and it is yours. Did you want me to FB message you?
2:55 am
lynxxx
Sorry, called away. Mr Williams Infernal?
2:56 am
herinfernallady
Carl Williams
2:56 am
lynxxx
ooh CARL Williams. Yeah - appears to be no great loss, what goes round etc
2:57 am
herinfernallady
Yet Channel 9 seems to feel the need to update what is on tv tonight and put a ''this was his life'' show.
2:57 am
lynxxx
how tasteless
2:58 am
herinfernallady
yep. Apparently it is news. I had to deal with the smug git when I worked in the courts.
3:14 am
herinfernallady
did everyone go away?
3:15 am
lynxxx
I'm still mucking around
3:16 am
herinfernallady
I would like someone to do my homework fetch dinner and feed me and put me to bed
3:22 am
rubyfoo
hello herin, are you still there? I had to deal with DH's sarcasm
3:22 am
herinfernallady
Yes Ruby
3:23 am
rubyfoo
if you'll deal with his sarcasm, I'll feed you, do your laundry etc.
3:23 am
herinfernallady
awww. Ruby my way of dealing with that is usually telling them zip it
3:24 am
lynxxx
Don't deal with it Ruby, take away his audience and leave the room
3:25 am
rubyfoo
he is so mean-pirited. He was nice for my birthday, 80% of the time, but has reverted to the usual. For example, I had left a huge cauliflower outside on the deck in a cool spot because it wouldn't fit in the fridge. Then I forgot about it. Because I am afraid of worms, I asked him to throw it away for me and he had to make fun of me in a really nasty way!
3:25 am
rubyfoo
I try to do that, but I was in the middle of doing something and couldn't do my usual fade away....
3:26 am
herinfernallady
Ruby leave
3:26 am
herinfernallady
tell him bugger off
3:26 am
rubyfoo
it's not like I'm some simpering little flower; I'm the one who deals with spiders, snakes, bats, injured birds, etc.
3:26 am
rubyfoo
No place to go, Herin, and it's my house....
3:27 am
lynxxx
I think I would be inviting him to leave as he is obviously unhappy with you. He doesn't do anything for you does he?
3:27 am
herinfernallady
Well tell him out. Stick him in a nursing home. Sell up move back to USA be free. One of our darling older babblers recently became free
3:28 am
rubyfoo
I've already asked him to leave but he is pretty old (84) and we don't have enough money for him to buy another place. He does all the grocery shopping, lawn and garbage duty.
3:29 am
lynxxx
OK then tell him that you will not be cooking or looking after him anymore unless he can be civil - and that you will be spending all your time in the studio/downstairs
3:29 am
rubyfoo
I think you're right in principle, Herin, and if I was younger and had more energy AND didn't love this place so much, I would sell out and leave. But I like it here much better than the US!
3:30 am
herinfernallady
You can speak to Social Services the local counsels there is help
3:31 am
rubyfoo
you are right, Lynxx, that's what I said this AM. Now he is trying to be nice; now that I'm thoroughly upset.... thank God for my babble friends who listen when I rant....
3:31 am
herinfernallady
And I am not saying that you don't care about him but there is services that can help.
3:32 am
rubyfoo
OK, my friends, I will stop whining and look at my tulips and my pups!
3:32 am
lynxxx
be strong Ruby, you are much younger and fitter than he - you will win this battle and the war if you can keep strong
3:32 am
rubyfoo
that what my sister (in NY) says, that Ishould just stick it out and outlive him!
3:33 am
rubyfoo
now -- back to the url! I am scrolling down to poor, patient Herin's instructions.....
3:33 am
herinfernallady
Ruby I will bring it up
3:34 am
rubyfoo
you gals are wonderful! You can't imagine how much I appreciate your words!
3:34 am
herinfernallady
Ruby: http://tinyurl.com/y78qbxa it is not the same Tiny as before but here you go
3:35 am
rubyfoo
although I have friends here, they are French-speaking and it is much more formal
3:36 am

I am glad you have made friends Ruby. You should go visiting a lot - and leave HIM alone

and he is a computer expert -- ironic, isn't it. He's a musician; I'm (was) an artist; he's computer-adept; I'm useless lol
3:39 am
herinfernallady
One you are not useless. DOn't make me tell you off
3:40 am
rubyfoo
go ahead, I deserve it! DH just called me from his study upstairs to tell me that he had heard the cuckoo. He is trying to be nice now, but cann't bring himself to apologize....
3:40 am
rubyfoo
I've only seen the cuckoo once, but he must have a nest in the field above the house
3:41 am
rubyfoo
our bird life is lovely, not spectacular like in Australia, but very interesting to me, nonetheless, because it's all different from places I've lived in the US
3:42 am
rubyfoo
and since the house is surrounded by heges, lots of shrubbery and trees, there are many many nests this year; at dusk it's wonderfully noisy!
3:42 am
rubyfoo
is that a well-dressed trodent? ch**?
3:43 am
rubyfoo
that was hedges* and rodent* -- poopy typing this AM
3:43 am
rubyfoo
or cute outfits with tails and round ears?
3:46 am
herinfernallady
Ok what is with girls singing in an American accent when they are Australian
3:47 am
herinfernallady
Hi Mari
3:47 am
rubyfoo
do they wear their pants low, too?
3:47 am
herinfernallady
no
3:48 am
rubyfoo
the ones who amaze me with their American accents in films are Cate Blanchett and Nicole Kidman. They do the accents perfectly!
3:48 am
herinfernallady
she is a cute little 12 year old very good but seriously groan
3:49 am
rubyfoo
that's really too bad because Australian accents are charming. BTW, Nicole Kidman/Hugh Jackman's epic Australia is on this coming Saturday. Is it gorgeous?
3:49 am
Haz1558
Good morning/evening all. Are there regional Australian accents?
3:49 am
herinfernallady
Don't know haven't seen it not into Romancy stuff
3:50 am
rubyfoo
I'll watch anything, as long as it's in English. Not a lot of choices on French TV, even with a satllite!
3:52 am
rubyfoo
hah, I just remembered an ec4/6 babblet *proud of myself*
3:52 am
rubyfoo
also an ea4/5 one. I guess I'm learning
3:52 am
herinfernallady
HI HAz. Yes there are Haz.
3:53 am
rubyfoo
now if I could get fireworks more than once every two months, I'd be happy
3:53 am
rubyfoo
hello haz!
3:53 am
lynxxx
Hi Haz. Queensland and South Australian accents are different from the rest of us I think. SA can be very "English" and Qld very very slow with a higher inflection at the end of sentences
3:53 am
rubyfoo
poor herin has been listening to me whine for an hour, but no more
3:54 am
rubyfoo
it is such a huge country, I'm not surprised. Even tiny France has strong reginal accents
3:54 am
Haz1558
Hello! I remember reading somewhere that the accent didn't differ much, but I didn't quite believe it. Here, accent can change within 30 miles.
3:54 am
rubyfoo
In England, it's also largely a class thing, right? It surely is in France.
3:55 am
rubyfoo
In the US, it's mostly regional, but very definite and recognizable
3:55 am
herinfernallady
Haz for instance Top North Queensland natives really do talk like Steve Irwin.
3:56 am
rubyfoo
and southern women often demean themselves with their accents, pronouncing one-syllable words with three
3:56 am
herinfernallady
everything up there is soooo slow.
3:56 am
rubyfoo
like in the American south
3:56 am
Haz1558
It's a class thing to a certain extent, ruby, not just in England but all over the British Isles. You tend to judge someone by their accent to an extent, but it's probably less prevalent than it used to be. There's a bit of dumbing down going on!
3:56 am
herinfernallady
I sound like my sisters even though i am adopted I sound alike to them but more English
3:56 am
lynxxx
demean? - I love the US southern accents - especially on guys
3:57 am
rubyfoo
I lived in a small city in upstate NY with its very own accent: merry, Mary and marry all sounded exactly the same. We called it the Binghamton speech test!
3:57 am
rubyfoo
it's better on guys; the women tend to try to sound stupid to make the men puff up
4:01 am
herinfernallady
o dear someone I know needs an assignment Do I help or not
4:01 am
rubyfoo
hard or easy?
4:02 am
rubyfoo
are you feeling charitable or have you used up your orning quotient?
4:03 am
herinfernallady
not charitable
4:04 am
herinfernallady
considering mine was 12 pages long
4:04 am
herinfernallady
Well yer so not really
4:05 am
lynxxx
you are thinking about giving them an entire assignment?
4:05 am
herinfernallady
Lying my butt off saying I screwed the whole thing. Heck no Lynxx trying to dig myself out of it
4:05 am
rubyfoo
how about giving a VERY slim outline or meager suggestions....
4:06 am
lynxxx
I think your white lies are in order
4:06 am
herinfernallady
Well see if I give a slim outline it is giving the answers as it is one of those you should read the book kind of thing. And I am trying not to stuff my life up on my own
4:07 am
herinfernallady
right fibbed my arse off
4:07 am
rubyfoo
then just day no! Or tell her to buy a "classic comic" or cliff notes
4:07 am
rubyfoo
good for you!
4:07 am
herinfernallady
Ruby it is one of those things that if I give slim outline to I may as well write it for you. SIgh
4:07 am
rubyfoo
don't do it then
4:07 am
herinfernallady
It is a CL essay.
4:08 am
herinfernallady
sorry Contract Law.
4:08 am
herinfernallady
Forgot what head space I was in
4:08 am
rubyfoo
definitely over my head!
4:08 am
herinfernallady
didn't do it.
4:09 am
herinfernallady
I know. I said I screwed the essay. Cheating can get you expelled and I don't trust that she wouldn't verbatim it.
4:09 am
Haz1558
Let's face it, if you do the work for others, you're not doing them any favours in the end. If they don't know the information themselves, what's the point other than to get them out of trouble short term?
4:10 am
herinfernallady
Exactly Haz. I told her to use Google Books as it is a legitimate source for books and she did the huh what is that'' shhes
4:11 am
herinfernallady
There is certain people I tell or show essay work to. Those that I know wont screw me in the end.
4:11 am
rubyfoo
imagine if she used yours verbatim! that would be awful!
4:12 am
herinfernallady
Besides it is how you write the essay and how you think because it is law it isn't 1 plus 1 equals 2.
4:12 am
herinfernallady
brb food needed
4:12 am
rubyfoo
and if she can't do it, maybe she's chosen the wrong field
4:13 am
rubyfoo
if you could stand a spicy chicken salad, I have plenty!
4:13 am
rubyfoo
or a ham sandwich!

Haz1558
I remember one glorious occasion in first form Latin. The Latin teacher picked up the homework books and gave out the girls' books. He then picked up one book, named the boy and asked 'Who did you get your homework from?' The boy confesses it was another boy. The next boy was asked and so it went on. One boy had done the homework, the rest had copied it. The teacher thundered for ages about how he was not stupid!
4:14 am
rubyfoo
there are funny farm-noise words in this grid

Sheesh, I did it again. And the coffee in the PB is COLD

4:33 am
redturtlehead
TY Mich, I needed that one.
4:34 am
Michnick
Yeh, I'm glad he'll be getting home with only a 2 day delay. He is going to be a whole week late for the start of his semester - and he's been away over 5 weeks already! I miss my boy!
4:37 am
redturtlehead
be nice to have him home.
4:37 am
herinfernallady
No Red But it is still news worthy
4:37 am

Well, he has to fly right off to start Yeshiva again, but he'll be close by and will come back home for the weekend.
4:38 am

I don't mean fly literally.

6:42 am
herinfernallady

6:43 am

6:46 am
lynxxx
Stew is too smart, will ignore me sitting in the lounge and go and scratch on my daughter's door for her to go let him out. And I didn't even train him to do that. Good boy!

6:47 am
herinfernallady
Cross would a wall work too?
6:47 am
crosshair
just for that you get extra bacon
6:47 am
crosshair
yes,a wall is good as well,but do it at a wall stud so you do not put a hole in the wall
6:48 am
herinfernallady
Nah I have brick walls no studs in this ouse
6:48 am
crosshair
brick is even better!
6:48 am

6:51 am
herinfernallady
Cross my last house had a blue bedroom
6:57 am
lynxxx
I am so over these pathetic attempts of Christine Nixon bashing. If she was a guy it would not happen. I don't know why we have this tall poppy syndrome in Australia
6:59 am
lynxxx
(ignore me unless you are in Victoria)
6:59 am
Atalante
tell us the story!
7:01 am
Atalante
then we can be outraged with you
7:02 am
herinfernallady
Lynxx. I like how the whole bush fires was a complete CF and yet it is the Police Coms fault because she left her post and did a couple of things when there was no communication
7:02 am
lynxxx
Christine Nixon, heavier (ie not attractive, what a sin!) smart woman made head of Police in Victoria - cleaned it up a lot (made a heap of enemies in the police force - corrupt types) made the mistake of having dinner out with husband and 2 friends on the night of Black Saturday last year. She left control of the joint emergency forces with her 2IC.
7:05 am
Atalante
not the cleverest thing to do, but still!
7:08 am
herinfernallady
Ata it was a minor ''sin'' compared to the ''Hey No worries what fire '' communication or lack of
7:09 am
lynxxx
Agreed, but it's a beat-up. For goodness sake, over a year ago. the woman has done an amazing job as head of the Reconstruction Authority (when in fact she was going to retire after her Police Commissioners time was over). We have this terrible need to find fault with our successful people
7:10 am
herinfernallady
Lynxx Reggi D just ''binned'' that argument on TV
7:10 am
crosshair
mmm,trying something different here , using those big middle pieces of light rye bread toasting them under the broiler with a light garlic, butter then laying the western omelette on top and serving it open face:0
7:10 am
Atalante
we really do
7:11 am
lynxxx
what IS a broiler?
7:11 am
herinfernallady
It is like Peter Garrett and the insulation Fubar.
7:11 am
crosshair
we had the same thing here ladies,we had a police chief her name of jullian fantino,he was the best,they made life hell so he moved on,now they are begging him to run for mayer lol
7:12 am
crosshair
a broiler is a oven element for fast toasting or browning
7:12 am
crosshair
i used it cause those rye bread slices are too big for the toaster
7:13 am
Atalante
I need to make some eggs. brb

oh Crossy, I loved it when we had a wringer washer.
10:57 am

you as well Crossy

surely we can barter skills to get things done that we dont want to do ourselves?
10:59 am

Shall we add a tiara to that Ata?
11:04 am

why not
11:04 am
Atalante
240v even!
11:05 am
Haz1558
Is our nice electrical system being criticised? Should I be getting indignant?
11:06 am
Atalante
Haz, have *you* read Alan Garner's childrens books? Weirdstone of Brisingamen, Elidor etc. If Mum read them to me ...
11:06 am
FMitch
Haz did you listen to the BBC this am. *sheesh*
11:06 am
Haz1558
No, I must confess that I haven't. Does that make me deprived?
11:06 am
Haz1558
What happened to the BBC? Obviously I'm out of the loop.
11:06 am
Atalante
you're both hopeless!!
11:07 am
FMitch
Ata if you had said Wierdstone and Eliador earlier I would have got it as i still have my school book copies of those!
11:07 am
Haz1558
It's only me that's hopeless!
11:07 am
Atalante
*rolls eyes* I KNEW you'd have read them!!
11:08 am

Haz - was just interesting to hear the point of view of the NI people re the election.
11:08 am
jan
Odd that Enable is ok with pinot but not syrah...
11:08 am
Atalante
well, Haz, you should read them :P
11:08 am
Haz1558
Oh - what did they say? 'Not another blessed election'?
11:08 am
Good Enough
enable has a very dicerning palate
11:09 am
jan
What? Cote Roti isn;t good enough?
11:10 am
FMitch
The impression is that they are not that interested as the parliament that affects them is in NI rather than in England. But it might be interesting come a hung parliament if that happens.
11:10 am
KatieMcG
afternoon everyone
11:11 am
Good Enough
i'm not saying i agree jan
11:11 am
FMitch
Hi Katie
Back in a bit as food is cooking.
11:11 am
Haz1558
That would sound about right, FM. We do tend to feel a bit distant from all the political stuff in Westminster especially since up until now we can't vote for the normal parties - things are beginning to change a bit now, but we're a bit overloaded with democracy sometimes.
11:11 am
Atalante
hi katie!
11:12 am
Haz1558
Hello, Katie!
11:12 am
Good Enough
the only thing consistant about enable is his inconsistancy
11:12 am
KatieMcG
what a lovely welcome :-) My laptop is broken so having a quick babble before hubby gets home
11:13 am
rururocks
anyone have the ce 6?
11:13 am
Haz1558
Did you throw the laptop in a fit of pique after discovering that you can't fly away somewhere exotic in the next week?
11:13 am
Atalante
I'm going to the Scillies on Saturday :) By boat.
11:14 am
Haz1558
ce6 - It looks like a plural word. Or 'those' in Spanish (masc pl)
11:14 am
Haz1558
C plus those, that should be.
11:14 am
FMitch
Just waiting for the kitchen timer to go off
Why are you going to the Scillies Ata?
11:14 am
Haz1558
How long will you be away, Ata?
11:14 am
rururocks
muchas gracias senora
11:15 am
Haz1558
De nada, senor.
11:15 am
KatieMcG
I am still trying to be optimistic about next weeks exotic estination, might even do some packing later lol, BinL did a reinstall of vista using a disk he had which turned out not to be an authorised copy so now we have to buy another one. Honestly I wish we hadn't bothered in the first place.
11:15 am
Atalante
2 weeks! Because it's nice there.
11:15 am

Bin Laden fixes your computers?
11:16 am

yay kitty!
11:16 am

Katie has the special Taliban model
11:17 am
Haz1558
So, the moral of the story is, don't let Bin Laden fix your computers with a dodgy disc.

really, D wanted to go on holiday so I chose somewhere I love before he could choose somewhere odd
11:18 am
sciencegeek
and before he could invite the evil one? LOL
11:18 am
Atalante
he doesn't like her any more. LMAO
11:19 am
Haz1558
At least you can be sure of getting there. Unless Alex Bin Laden gets to hear of it and sabotages the ferry.
11:19 am
KatieMcG
good idea to get in first I always think, although hubby and I generally want the same sort of holiday anyway. We have the one week and then the August one booked and know what we are doing for the two next year, we like to work in advance lol
11:20 am
Haz1558
This is all Icelandic volcano permitting? The joy merchants are saying it could keep going for years.
11:20 am
Atalante
did want to go on the helicopter (which I'm guessing might still be ok as it only flies at a few thousand feet) but they load up everyone while the rotors are going - it's noisy and loud and scary and I don't think Hobbit would like it
11:20 am
Haz1558
Plug her ears and put on her sleeping mask, Ata....
11:21 am
KatieMcG
I am taking the ignore it and it will go away approach peppered with panic like mad to the volcano issue.
11:21 am

so we're going on the boat. D will have to look after the dog while I sit outside looking green

Which continent are the Beckhams currently inhabiting?

according to Heat last week they were in the UK, but who knows
11:22 am
KatieMcG
*such a mind of useful information*
11:22 am
Haz1558
Of all the luck! There I was thinking they could be marooned in the States for the foreseeable future.
11:23 am
KatieMcG
a tacky celeb magazine over here
11:23 am
Haz1558
'Heat' - a very serious magazine with intellectual articles. The best people read it.
11:23 am
KatieMcG
scoop last week was that he wanted them all to come back for good :-)
11:23 am
Atalante
Jordan loves it
11:23 am
KatieMcG
ran an advert that the more intelligent you were the higher your need for gossip - worked for me lol
11:24 am
KatieMcG
They really hate her, every week there is a demolition story about her, I assume she doesn't re** it
11:25 am
Atalante
ok, Peter Andre loves it. Maybe?
11:25 am
KatieMcG
Ata, why are you wearing a pink feather thing in your photo?
11:25 am
Atalante
1920s party!
11:25 am
KatieMcG
Yep Heat is def team Andre, he gives them loads of interviews to keep it that way
11:26 am

what's with the hand wraps?
11:26 am
KatieMcG
phew I thought we would need to consider sectioning
11:26 am

Did you Charleston?

actually, yes!
11:27 am

Katie just been talking to Kim it looks as though the midlands airports are opening tomorrow so it looks as though they are ok to fly on Thursday
11:27 am
Haz1558
Remember 'The House of Eliot'? I loved the fashions in that show.
11:27 am
Atalante
it was an amazing party. about 1000 people there, of which about 950 must have been in full 1920s gear
11:28 am
Atalante
it was held in Anthony Blunt's old London townhouse!
11:28 am
KatieMcG
I know I phoned her to let her know as it came on sky news when i was working from home. I hope to goodness she gets away, no-one needs the stress she has been through just to get on holiday
11:28 am
Haz1558
Had the other 50 not read their invitations properly or were they just spoilsports?

sc 6/24 is to make a harsh remark (not gerund ending)
11:30 am
KatieMcG
could I have a clue for the sc 6/24 please
11:30 am
Haz1558
Would anyone like a clue for sc6? I've just had a feeling that someone might like one.
11:31 am

*oh goody*
11:31 am
KatieMcG
yep if that is OK. I am in Corby so might be about 8pm if that's ok
11:31 am
KatieMcG
congrats norma
11:31 am
Haz1558
sc6/24 - most often seen in gerund/descriptive form. In that form, it's the sort of comment that might wound or hurt, be slightly sarcastic perhaps.
11:31 am
Norma
That would be fine just let us know xx
11:31 am
Haz1558
Nothing like I would ever say. Not now that I'm all diplomatic.
11:32 am
Haz1558
Or, add a male personal pronoun to the end of the s plus feline sc4/5
11:32 am
Norma
Haz lol ....

damn I already had it lol

quick update from earlier chat: the spanish club from norwell high school never did get to go on the april vacation trip to spain. All 38 students are out the money, too, as the tour group will not refund in cases of acts of god....
11:41 am
Haz1558
It's been a time of disappointment for so many. Lots of people are trapped abroad trying to get home.
11:41 am
Atalante
at least a lot of oinsurance companies aren't treating it as an act of god
11:41 am

hmm. yes. we have two pepple from our church stuck overseas, one in Rome, and one in Moscow. Think I might prefer rome...

I wouldn't have mentioned it if you weren't here! I knew you'd be swooning
12:05 pm
Haz1558
I had to grip the chair hard.
12:05 pm
Atalante
I swear my keyboard changes what my brain wants to type to what it feels like typing
12:06 pm
Haz1558
Naughtly keyboard!
12:06 pm
Haz1558
It must come from the same factory as FM's.
12:07 pm
Atalante
probably
12:07 pm
Haz1558
Have I typed naughtly? It should be naughty. These keyboards are possessed!
12:07 pm

hi Dorens!!
12:10 pm
Dorens
I have a friend whose lifelong dream... going to Africa, seeing gorillas etc, is apparently jeopardized by the ash.... she was supposed to stop first in Heathrow ( on Friday).... how is it looking?
12:10 pm
Atalante
Friday might be ok
12:10 pm

I can type fine if i really concentrate but usually excitement and babblemania takes over.
12:11 pm

It's looking better, Dorens, some airports in the north are opening tomorrow.
12:11 pm
Atalante
they are muttering about Scotland airspace reopening tomorrow
12:11 pm

12:11 pm
Haz1558
Hooray for the north!

Not sure Dorens, HEathrow has been shut since last Thursday and no new yet as to when it mght open again.
12:11 pm

Two minutes and I'll hopefully be back.
12:12 pm

Two minutes to change into Arnie? That's impressive

12:15 pm
Dorens
other than that, i'm just ducky
12:15 pm
Dorens
thanks ata... hugging you back
12:16 pm
Boobear
Oh Dorens, I am sorry about your job
12:16 pm
Dorens
on the bright side, i will certainly have more time to chat along with my babble.... with "him" not taking up my time in the evenings... and possibly no work at all next september!
12:16 pm
FMitch
geez Dorens how crappy is all of that!
12:17 pm
Haz1558
I know we should probably all be encouraging you to be like Pollyanna and look on the bright side, but frankly, I always felt like giving Pollyanna a slap.
12:17 pm
FMitch
sorry to hear both bit of bad news.
12:18 pm
Dorens
*slapping pollyanna now that i have haz's go ahead*
12:18 pm
Haz1558
Ditto Madame Bovary and many of Dickens' more soppy heroines. That Dora always annoyed me thoroughly.
12:19 pm
Haz1558
So, it's rotten, Dorens, and I'm sorry that you've got such horrible things to deal with.
12:20 pm
Dorens
boobear. (and anyone else in the states lurking). Senator Harkins has introduced a bill in the Senate to bail out schools (like they did AIG, citibank, Ford, etc). please email your US Senators and have them vote for the bill! it is for all states, not just NJ and it would most definitely save MY job, and benefit lots of kids --if passed
12:21 pm
FMitch
ditto what Haz said, wish i could be more eloquent sometimes.
12:21 pm
Haz1558
Oh, FM, we love you just the way you are!
12:21 pm
Dorens
you are all wonderful people. if i'm not working next year, i'm going to descend on Great Britain and Paris and will enjoy meeting up with you

12:23 pm

I met up with hurshy ages ago
12:23 pm
Dorens
don't know, but I've always known I would do it someday
12:23 pm
Haz1558
Oh, that's true. Bother, we can't contact the Guinness Book of Records.
12:23 pm
Dorens
Ahhhh .. Ata and Hurshy, now there's a good match.
12:23 pm
FMitch
Yes it would be after hurshy and Ata and Babbler but we might be graced with corssy this year too
12:23 pm
Boobear
I saw your note, Dorens and will certainly do
12:24 pm
Haz1558
Is he coming to study bacon consumption in the UK?
12:24 pm
Dorens
thanks boo.... i forwarded an email about it last night to most of my addressbook (had easy links) and heard back from Michigan, Florida, Ct. Mass, California... all have done so. Just hope it gets some republican support
12:25 pm
Dorens
more like Crossy is coming to help you increase bacon consumption
12:25 pm
Haz1558
I know. Pigs will be atremble when they hear the news.
12:26 pm
FMitch
Probably coming over to buy up most of the bacon market!
12:27 pm
Haz1558
Oh, you'll appreciate two names, apparently bestowed recently on two babies. One will rejoice in the name of Pocahontas Murphy.
12:27 pm
Haz1558
The other little girl is to be named Tamara. Fine, until you realise that her surname is Knight....
12:27 pm
Dorens
is this a baby in UK? pocahontas?
12:27 pm
FMitch
Good grief!
12:28 pm
Dorens
names can be sooo amusing
12:28 pm
Haz1558
Yes, a UK child. Wouldn't you think somebody would have a discreet word with the parents?
12:28 pm
FMitch
Aparently not!
12:28 pm
Dorens
whoops... have to run and pretend that i am a much needed guidance counselor. lives depend on me.
12:29 pm
Haz1558
Or just do the decent thing and refuse to register the name on the grounds of parental stupidity.
12:29 pm
Haz1558
Go forth, Dorens, and guide!
12:29 pm
FMitch
Take care Dorens and be well.
12:29 pm
Dorens
will do. happy babbles!
12:29 pm
Haz1558
Make sure your students know that calling their child Pocahontas is a nono..
12:30 pm
Haz1558
Bye, Dorens!

12:45 pm

yay, jilli!
12:45 pm
Riverdance
congrats - I still need to get that
12:46 pm
jillibus
and as you can see, I'm not used to the keyboard
12:46 pm
Goldieone
what is the average amount of words a player gets per puzzle? Like 3 quarters of them or half???
12:47 pm
jillibus
We try to get them all, goldie!
12:47 pm
Goldieone
I know. But what should a newbie shoot for?
12:47 pm
Boobear
I am eating lunch while playing babble
12:48 pm
jillibus
By hook or by crook, with the help of cluers and Lickety's list and morewords it's doable.
12:48 pm
periwinkle
Goldie, just find as many as you can, the more you play, the more you will find
12:48 pm
periwinkle
hello all
12:48 pm
ch1212
(hi all!) Goldie, that's the beauty of this game. So many are at different levels, and we all play to our best. When I first started, I was happy to get 1/4, then 1/2, then 3/4 before going to the list. For awhile I was obsessed with finishing every day. Then after a couple years, I let go and went back to just enjoying the game. I no longer care about finishing each day. Have fun!
12:49 pm
jillibus
As for the average-- who knows?
12:49 pm
Goldieone
???Lickety's list ? morewords ?
12:49 pm
rubyfoo
ata? are you still there? I looked at Bella and she is really blonde, a lot like Ruby's coloring, but shorter hair

Hey boo. (I always think of Harper Lee's character Boo Radley when I write that ... :)
12:50 pm
rubyfoo
hi ch1212 I have finished 3 times but only because other babblers dragged me across the finish line! I've stopped looking at the rankings and just do the best I can!
12:50 pm
Goldieone
thank you ch1212 and anll
12:50 pm
jillibus
goldie, scroll down and under the grid and stats you'll see Lickety's Babble Clues. Right click and open in a new window. It gives the first 2 letters of each word and its point score.
12:51 pm
ch1212
That's good though, ruby. At one point I was up to #3 in the rankings, and that's when I realized I was playing for the wrong reasons. Now I'd bet my "ranking" has plummeted, but I don't care :)

3:47 pm
stidmama
she was on about ten my time last night
3:49 pm
stidmama
we were also wondering if you want to actually do the meetup in Olympia, or Seattle? decided you get to choose since you are coming the furthest.
3:52 pm
stidmama
wow. this is a fast grid. past halfway already
3:52 pm
Mom
**Boy that Stid is a show off**
3:53 pm

3:53 pm
stidmama

3:53 pm
stidmama
*sticks tongue out at jmc* be nice. I have a migraine today! *whimper whimper*
3:54 pm
Mom
{{Stid}} hello, my day is fine. You deserve a slow day. :) How is the weather?
3:54 pm
stidmama
still need one more tile for NBT though
3:54 pm
Mom
Oh Stid, I'm sorry.
3:54 pm
stidmama
the weather is dry, but overcast (which is fine for me) I like that it's warm enough to leave the door open for Lucky to go in and out as he pleases
3:55 pm
jmcnrick
sheesh she's always bringing out that excuse :-P
3:55 pm
Mom
that is good. My Aunt has been in San Diego she said it was too cool for her taste.

periwinkle

4:00 pm
stidmama
hey peri, thanks. I think it will be gone by tomorrow, but just not "all here" today. how are you? (she said, brightly)
4:01 pm
periwinkle
doing well, looking for a newer car but not much progress as yet
4:01 pm
Mom
what kind of car would you like Peri
4:01 pm
stidmama
car shopping is NOT my favorite genre of shopping. I am much more adept at clothes, books and shoes...
4:01 pm
periwinkle
If I had money a new Honda Civic or HOnda Fit
4:02 pm
periwinkle
but will probably buy a used Hyundai Accent or Elantra
4:02 pm
Mom
I had an Accord but younger son drives it now
4:02 pm
periwinkle
it is better than going shhopping for a bathing suit which I will have to do sometime soon :(
4:02 pm
Mom
those are both nice cars
4:02 pm
periwinkle
I have a 1991 Toyota Corolla
4:02 pm
Mom
bathing suit shopping???????????????? Not in this lifetime for me
4:02 pm
stidmama
my tom likes his hyundai accent. good mileage, and big enough to hold a 6' stidkid AND his tuba (and the driver) with a bit of room to spare
4:03 pm
stidmama
oh! may I share something nice tom did for me?
4:03 pm
periwinkle
really, ok then, it will probably be an Accent
4:03 pm
Mom
please do Stid
4:03 pm
periwinkle
will keep you posted
4:03 pm
periwinkle
what years does he have Stid?
4:03 pm
stidmama
please do peri!
4:04 pm
periwinkle
stid, I recently made unstuffed cabbage and the recipe is in my profile if you are interested
4:04 pm
stidmama
okay, so my car's heating thingy (the slider bit that changes from hot to cold) broke. big time. Tom bought a whole new unit, and installed it yesterday (almost 300 bucks!) -- at the same time he did that, he turned the radio rightside up (we bought the car used) so now I have reliable heating/cooling AND can play the radio and cds!
4:05 pm
periwinkle
wow that is great, what a wonderful, handly hubby
4:05 pm
stidmama
I am so pleased, and feel like a real princess. It was heavenly to drive last night.
4:05 pm
Mom
isn't he just a sweetheart, Stid
4:06 pm
stidmama
now I just need to get the oil changed and the car will be good for another few thousand miles
4:06 pm
periwinkle
stid, did Tom buy the hyundai new or used?
4:06 pm
stidmama
we bought the hyundai new, to replace the 16 year-old sentra that died last summer. the van (see below) is 15 years old, and with kids and all I felt we really needed one reliable vehicle
4:07 pm
stidmama
there were some very good deals last summer, so it worked (barely) for our budget
4:07 pm
periwinkle
what year Hyundai, stid?
4:07 pm
stidmama
um... 2009 I think.
4:08 pm
stidmama
but it might be a 2010. I don't know when car years change anymore!
4:09 pm
stidmama
the other factors (aside from affordability) for us were safety (airbags even on the sides), mileage, and the 10-year warranty.
4:09 pm
Mom
with 70 left I think I will get up and stretch my legs. {{Hugs}} to all of you
4:09 pm
stidmama
anyway, time for me to head out. down to 57 and will try to babble some tonight. (((hugs all))) good too see you!

6:45 pm
Scrabbler
1st period is over. Sabres 1, Bruins 1. BRB.
6:45 pm
welki
the same day it was stocked? oh boy, usually there are regulations that make you wait a day or two after stocking (if you don't, you might as well just dip a net and pull a fish out, it's like a turkey shoot :(
6:46 pm
Brookie
Yes, and now I'm in a relationship with a man in the Washington, DC area... it's going extremely well.
6:46 pm

8:50 pm
I-Mac
A couple of hours, off and on?
8:51 pm

10:47 pm
jmcnrick
i am just hoping it is going to be worth the $$$
10:47 pm
jmcnrick
It doesn't have a disk reader so everything has to be down loaded from the internet or a flash drive
10:47 pm
Pinikula
Definitely!
10:48 pm
Pinikula

10:48 pm
