Sorry Jilli - was seeing to something. Hello everyone!

1:11 am

PAV3

and how is mi'Lady this evening?

1:11 am

J. C.

Hello flosey! :)

1:11 am

herinfernallady

no comment going again. SOrry don't talk when certain people are here

1:12 am

jillibus

so which is your constituency, JC?

1:12 am

J. C.

Just saw your question, Jilli - same name as my town.

1:12 am

jillibus

not the London one?

1:12 am

J. C.

Oh good grief. (Rolls eyes.) Some apparently never grow up. (Sigh.)

1:12 am

J. C.

No, Jill.

1:13 am

jillibus

Silly herin.

1:14 am

herinfernallady

Pot Kettle JC. He who claims to be so famous has to slag people of send mass emails and be a general freak f u pal

1:14 am

Atalante

(is not here, but Jilli! Don't let other's behaviour influence yours! That's not a nice thing to say)

1:14 am

jillibus

I'm leaving. This is vicious and uncalled for.

1:14 am

flosey

oh, herin!

1:15 am

PAV3

ok, well I am...early morning appt with the car doctor...routine oil change...now that my hair is gone, have none to spare...

Barb's Horses

hello all

1:16 am

joshuavorbis

what just happened?

1:17 am

flosey

Hi Barb

1:17 am

J. C.

Claims to be? I don't think I've ever felt any need to claim anything, child. You are trying to start something for absolutely no reason - getting your nappies in a twist over nothing again. Is your little life really so empty, boring and miserble that you've nothing better to do? Pitiful.

1:17 am

Barb's Horses

my goodness think I missed something ..this grid doesn't seem easy either

1:18 am

joshuavorbis

there's definitely some stingy tiles, barb

1:18 am

Barb's Horses

Hi flosey

1:18 am

Barb's Horses

hi josh

1:18 am

flosey

this grid isn't easy Barb - for me anyway

1:19 am

Barb's Horses

I haen't completed any of the last ones either oh well one never knows if one doesn't try though

1:19 am

Ormal

I'm pretty close to stuck I think.

1:19 am

flosey

true, get what you can

1:19 am

VolleymomDee

I agree flosey, not particularly easy...

1:19 am

Barb's Horses

well I have only 27 and I think I am stuck lol

1:20 am

Barb's Horses

hi Volley

1:20 am

VolleymomDee

hi barb!

1:20 am

Barb's Horses

ooo I actually found two more LOL

1:21 am

VolleymomDee

wtg

1:21 am

Ormal

there are far too many t and p words in here :D

1:21 am

flosey

wtg barb

1:22 am

herinfernallady

Yes JC that is why I am studying if i have nothing better to do. You truly are nothing but an ignorant mad as a hatter twat

1:22 am

J. C.

Hmmm. You behave like one then accuse me of it? Priceless. You must really enjoy showing yourself up.

1:23 am

herinfernallady

And I would love to post the hateful emails you have sent

1:24 am

J. C.

You can't post imagination.

1:24 am

Barb's Horses

what a lovely picture flosey...I so want to take my son that way during storm season to see all the crashing waves

1:24 am

J. C.

As I've done nothing of the sort.

1:25 am

flosey

Barb, it was magnificent, you really must see it - we were there in October

1:25 am

jillibus

This is no place for battles.

1:26 am

herinfernallady

Well Iâ€™ve just found out something rather erm, â€œinterestingâ€ - as a friend alerted me to in an e-mail, telling me to look at â€œtodayâ€™sâ€ chat archive starting at 10:42 pm

1:26 am

Barb's Horses

we went long ago when I was a child to Long Beach....actually it was the year there were two murders and we wondered why there were helicopters. It was great watching the waves

1:26 am

herinfernallady

RIGHT O TWAT You want a fight here

1:27 am

joshuavorbis

maybe you guys should get a room

1:27 am

Barb's Horses

hi jili

1:27 am

J. C.

Well it can't involve me, as I've said nothing about you or anyone else here. You have some imagination.

1:27 am

flosey

I agree Jilli, no need for unkind words in chog

1:28 am

J. C.

Maybe she should give up and be silent. There is no need for this nastiness she insists on trying to create. It's ridiculous. Nonsense.

1:28 am

J. C.

I couldn't agree more, Jill and Flo.

1:28 am

jillibus

Herin, behave yourself.

1:29 am

Barb's Horses

cool iceberg jilli

1:29 am

jillibus

Thanks, barb, and hi!

1:30 am

flosey

ah, daughter just signed in, brb

1:31 am

joshuavorbis

fireworks

1:31 am

jillibus

I'm finding this grid hard again.

1:31 am

Barb's Horses

what is it some say....phantom word...forth

1:31 am

joshuavorbis

last word tr7

1:31 am

Barb's Horses

yeah josh

1:31 am

herinfernallady

Lets see: that is why I have about half a dozen emails from Julian Clary in my email in box. Talk about imagination. Would you prefer me to post ALL of them in a public web page humiliating you like you do to others. Thankfully I have a little bit more tact that to stoop to someone as low as you and a complete embarrassment to the Theatre and GLBT scene. (Go right ahead and call me a homophobe all you like since I have been fighting for equal gay rights for the last 12 years)

1:32 am

flosey

herin, let it go for goodness sake

1:33 am

jillibus

I heartily second that, flosey.

1:33 am

dizgrannie

settle all and have a group hugzz!!!

1:33 am

joshuavorbis

i can give clues for a few minutes in between personal attacks, if anyone wants

1:34 am

herinfernallady

I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot poll held by someone else.

1:34 am

herinfernallady

pole even

1:34 am

Barb's Horses

thanks for the offer josh

1:34 am

J. C.

Considering I only sent you two, that is indeed some imagination. I replied to the two you sent - that was it. Yes, go right ahead - I haven't said anything to be ashamed of, as you seem to believe. Jill received BCC copies of each at the time they were sent to you - so nice try. I'm not an embarrassment to anything - but you're certainly embarrassing youself here, and probably everyone else. Nice going. Why would I call you a homophobe? You haven't made any anti-gay slurs I'm aware of - certainly none here. Homophobe wouldn't be the term for you. Now please - grow up, get a life and mind your own business.

1:34 am

herinfernallady

I will not let it go until you all see what a complete arse this person is and how many others don't babble anymore because of this shit

1:35 am

Ormal

WTG josh

1:35 am

jillibus

Stop it, herin!

1:35 am

J. C.

Erm, Natalie. There is only one person making a complete arse of themselves and I'm sorry to say, it certainly isn't me.

1:35 am

joshuavorbis

it takes at least one to stop a back and forth such as this, just saying

1:37 am

Barb's Horses

there isn't any lickety yet right or is mine just not loading?

1:37 am

dalia

el 6 anyone?

1:37 am

J. C.

Yes, Josh. But when absolute lies are being posted, I do feel some need to correct them - as you might.

1:37 am

gremlinn

I have clues in my profile

1:37 am

Barb's Horses

thanks grem

1:37 am

jillibus

No Lickety, barb, but gremlin posted a list in his profile, the sweetie.

1:37 am

joshuavorbis

dalia - it's ei6, not el

1:37 am

gremlinn

there's no el6 - ei6 you mean?

1:38 am

dalia

Oooh. Need glasses, apparently. ty, grem

1:39 am

joshuavorbis

dalia - see the two letters at the bottom of the 4th column? the ei6 is the companion word to reading those two letters from the bottom up

1:40 am

dalia

thanks, I had ei long ago; just spent at least 5 minutes on the phantom el, however.;P

1:41 am

joshuavorbis

ha - congrats - don't forget the ne7 that looks like a sibling of that one

1:41 am

Ormal

lol dalia, I've done that many times

1:41 am

Douglas

I've been suffering for sometime over that ei6...thanks

1:43 am

joshuavorbis

ok, must try to get at least a token amount of sleep tonight - good luck everyone and happy undistracted babbling

JC I have 2 you emails you sent me 4 emails you have sent that I got CCed so if you think I am lying would you like me to wordpress all 6 of the emails?

1:46 am

flosey

well done Barb, goodnight

1:47 am

J. C.

*Yawn.*

1:47 am

Ormal

gn barb

1:51 am

Barb's Horses

question before I go how come niblet isnt a word? did I spell it wrong?

1:52 am

J. C.

That's correct, Barb - should work?

1:52 am

Ormal

it just won't take that word. I tried it too.

1:52 am

J. C.

But you're right - it doesn't.

1:52 am

J. C.

Hmmm.

1:52 am

jillibus

I think it's a trade name, barb.

1:52 am

Barb's Horses

maybe...

1:52 am

J. C.

Is it?

1:53 am

jillibus

I think so.

1:53 am

Barb's Horses

oh well okay really going now (((hugs))) everyone

1:53 am

Barb's Horses

poof

1:53 am

gremlinn

Heh, I tried "niblet" too.

1:53 am

J. C.

Good night, Barb.

1:53 am

jillibus

night again, barb!

1:54 am

jillibus

gawd, I'd like to get at least halfway here! Nowhere near now :(

1:55 am

J. C.

Neither am I, Jill - only at 49 words.

1:55 am

jillibus

well, at least it's morning where you are, JC!

1:56 am

rolin

1:57 am

rolin

hey flosey...did you know i met julian clary a few months ago?

1:58 am

flosey

no, how nice rolin

1:58 am

rolin

yeah... i asked him if he had heard of the website...playbabble...

1:58 am

jillibus

did you, rolin? Where?

1:58 am

flosey

did you see Julian perform?

1:59 am

rolin

i went to his show that was on near me...

1:59 am

flosey

great, rolin

1:59 am

flosey

and you got to meet him after the show?

1:59 am

rolin

yeah it was a fun show....but his reaction was that he'd never heard of babble...

2:01 am

flosey

strange!

2:01 am

rolin

yup..ppl could line up and get pics and have him sign merchandise....

2:02 am

flosey

oh, did you get a pic together?

2:03 am

rolin

nah..... i was just interested in seeing if he would either verify our j.c.....or expose him

2:04 am

rolin

but now when i think about it...either our j.c. is a fake... or the real one prefers not to acknowledge us...

2:04 am

rolin

either way....its not nice

2:04 am

rolin

either way....its not nice

2:04 am

flosey

hmmm, strange

2:06 am

rolin

im wondering if j.c.is still online...which he appears to be... would come and settle it for me..

2:06 am

jillibus

Dr_God has verified that JC is who he says he is.

2:06 am

gremlinn

Is Julian Clary someone famous?

2:06 am

flosey

good jilli, that's settled

2:07 am

rolin

hes a well known comedian....turned author....

2:07 am

flosey

just returned from shows in Australia

2:07 am

jillibus

He's well known in the UK and Australia and NZ.

2:08 am

gremlinn

I'm good at not knowing celebrities even in the U.S.

2:08 am

rolin

cool..so if dr. god says he is julian clary.. the maybe he should change his login....to j.e.....lol

2:08 am

jillibus

And JC is no fake.

2:09 am

Ormal

lol, me too grem, me too

2:09 am

jillibus

j.e.?????

Good morning everyone:)

Hello jean

2:09 am

flosey

hello Jean

2:09 am

gremlinn

I also had to ask someone recently who Stephen Fry was.

2:10 am

rolin

he has denied us jilli....

2:10 am

Ormal

hi jean.

2:13 am

jillibus

I can't see how, rolin.

2:13 am

Ormal

google helps me with those issues grem

2:14 am

jillibus

Look, JC just wants to play a word game.

2:14 am

gremlinn

Yeah, but it's a fun way to get a conversation going, heh.

2:15 am

rolin

sure...and thats great.... but why pretend he doesnt.... he looked me in the eyes and said he didnt know what i was talking about... why couldnt he have said..oh hi rolin..nice to meet you...move on..

2:15 am

Ormal

There is that going for it. I knew I knew Stephen Fry from somewhere, but had to google him to figure it out.

2:17 am

diann

Hello everyone

2:31 am

rolin

hey lynxxx..hows things?

2:33 am

lynxxx

hi Rolin. Really good. Winter has arrived, cold and darkish at 5.30. Lovely! How are you and family?

2:34 am

rolin

we're really well.. busy... my kids have had successes.. but im watching the election results very closely..

2:36 am

lynxxx

Yeah, the good voter turnout is making the news here - bad luck about that!

2:36 am

rolin

well i dont understand why they run elections on a weekday...!... why no the weekend like aus...

2:37 am

lynxxx

It would be asking for trouble it seems - perhaps they don't want to pay penalty rates to electoral workers?

2:39 am

rolin

lol.. perhaps.. tho penalty rates really dont exist here anymore... i used to do the polls when i was there... it was fun in our little town.. we knew mostly everyone so it was a social occasion really..

2:41 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all. You can't mess with tradition. Elections are always on a Thursday. It's in the law of England.

2:41 am

rolin

lol... but why haz?

2:42 am

Haz1558

I don't know why. It just is.....

2:42 am

lynxxx

Hello Haz. Shrove Tuesday, Voting Thursday - why not I suppose

2:42 am

Haz1558

Isn't it a good thing to not have to worry about what day of the week to have it? Election = Thursday.

2:42 am

Haz1558

It's like school uniform. A certainty in life in a changing world.

2:43 am

Haz1558

You don't have to worry about what to wear when you've got a school uniform. Mind you, there's always the customisingthat goes on.

2:44 am

rolin

but it seems to me that having it on a work day.. means that you are in dangre of having what happened.. ppl going out after work..and being locked out...with a sat...you have all day

2:45 am

Haz1558

The people in England obviously don't use the Irish method of voting - vote early, vote often. (There used to be an awful lot of personation going on, kind of wiped out now with photo id required). There must have been major problems with staffing or something in those centres.

2:47 am

rolin

im just listening to the bbc reports...and they are quoting 'the constitution'...but britain doesnt actually have a constitution

2:47 am

Haz1558

The constitution is unwritten but understood - a bit like the rules in babble chat etiquette.

2:51 am

rolin

it is amazing tho that a country that is so old..has never put the constitution to paper..

2:51 am

rolin

i wonde rif the queen votes??

2:51 am

lynxxx

perhaps because it has a queen/king ??

2:52 am

rolin

well strictly speaking aus has a queen..

2:52 am

Haz1558

I know, but I kind of like it. The constitiution has come together over hundreds of years and is subject to change etc.

2:53 am

Haz1558

I'm not sure if she is permitted to vote or not.

2:53 am

Haz1558

She probably says that she can't vote just to keep the candidates away.

2:54 am

Haz1558

Can you imagine loudspeaker cars circling Buckingham Palace. 'Make your vote count!'

2:54 am

rolin

lol...oh if only we could all do the same

2:54 am

rolin

they could sponsoe buzzbies in party colours..

2:55 am

Haz1558

And bribe the guards to wear rosettes?

2:58 am

Andree

hi everyone

2:58 am

lynxxx

hi Andree!

2:58 am

Andree

should i thow my hat in first, haven't been on in over a month

2:58 am

Haz1558

Hello Andree!

2:59 am

lynxxx

Busy with life?

2:59 am

Haz1558

Nice to see you! What have you been up to?

2:59 am

Andree

made the decision to move the office home and it has taken quite some doing

2:59 am

Andree

not life lynxxx, I really need to get a life

3:00 am

Haz1558

Oh yes, I remember you saying you were going to do that. Has the move been completely accomplished now?

3:00 am

lynxxx

You were there for so long, I suppose there was a lot to sort out. How is it working for you?

3:01 am

Andree

I am now ensconsed in what was supposed to be the dining room, everything in its place and I feel much more relaxed working

3:01 am

Haz1558

Good for you. I'm sure Hugo approves?

3:02 am

lynxxx

Hugo is probaby miffed he doesn't get to go in the car each day (I know Stew would be!)

3:04 am

KatieMcG

afternoon!!

3:04 am

Andree

I ditched the panasonic 7 phone system I had[ will get my niece to sell it on ebay for me] and found a 2 line phone with 3 handsets so I can wonder up to the veg patch if I like.The fax, computer, fax and eptos machine took some more lines and so I am all set up

3:04 am

Haz1558

Hello Katie!

3:04 am

lynxxx

hi Katie! Siesta time again?

3:04 am

Haz1558

Don't encourage her, lynxxx.

3:05 am

Andree

I think there must have been an office here once as I was suprised to be able to get so many lines

3:05 am

KatieMcG

it will please you to know we are just doing the online check in to come home

3:05 am

Andree

Hugo loves having me home all the time

3:06 am

Haz1558

Hugo is a sensible dog.

3:07 am

Haz1558

I suppose there's no chance of you being stranded, Katie?

3:08 am

KatieMcG

we were hoping but unfortunately it@s not looking likrly lol

3:08 am

Haz1558

How could you bear to be away with the election happening?

3:09 am

KatieMcG

the internet is a wonderful thing

3:09 am

Haz1558

It's not the same. You don't get David Dimbleby squinting through his glasses on the internet. (Has no-one told him about varifocals?)

3:10 am

lynxxx

Can you vote online?

3:11 am

Haz1558

I don't think so - postal votes are about as sophisticated as we get.

3:13 am

Andree

us too haz, I guess voting on line would open a can of worms

3:14 am

KatieMcG

and you can only do that if you are in the country 4 days before the election

3:14 am

Haz1558

I couldn't even begin to work out how they'd verify identity etc.

3:14 am

lynxxx

It does seem so logical though, wonder how long before it happens

3:15 am

lynxxx

You could use something like your tax file # as identification

3:16 am

Ormal

holy fireworks I finished

3:16 am

Haz1558

I'm sure younger people would embrace the idea - older people I'm not so sure about. There were major difficulties here when the government made pensioners put their money into an account which they could only access using a fiddly wee machine.

3:16 am

Haz1558

Well done, Ormal!

3:16 am

Hooray for Ormal!

3:17 am

3:17 am

Lots of old people got confused with pin numbers, the keypad was small and fiddly to work with. It was great in theory but badly handled in practice.

I haven't looked at your game yet Grem. Having many hits?

Nancy Boy

ahh what a grim day - my constituency is still under conservative rule, and I see a dear friend of mine was slated and attacked in the chat log this morning. vicious and uncalled for.

4:36 am

rolin

morning all...again

4:37 am

rolin

i am losing the entire day listening to the elction result debate..absolutely fascinating..

4:37 am

Haz1558

Don't start it all again, please. Your dear friend has taken up more than enough babble time, in my opinion. And yes, I'm entitled to have one.

4:38 am

Nancy Boy

starting nothing, just expressing my disappointment. even under the tories there's no law against that...

4:38 am

Nancy Boy

did you get the result you hoped for, Rolin?

4:40 am

rolin

oh no ...while i think a hung parliament is theoretical interesting..its a disaster for the financial markets.. and the idea of a minority conservative gov...which i think will happen fills me with dread

4:41 am

herinfernallady

HI.

4:41 am

Haz1558

Hello, herin.

4:41 am

Nancy Boy

quite - and in the face of so much Lib Dem optimism, as well! it worries me because we're in a time where, I think, where we need some powerful and decisive government...a hung parliament won't really achieve that

4:42 am

herinfernallady

I am so confused as to what happens now in England parliament.

4:42 am

rolin

no it wont... so i think it will be 1974 all over again...

4:42 am

Haz1558

Any party, in order to have a majority, has to have 326 seats. In the event of failing to meet that, the parties can join forces in collaboration.

4:43 am

herinfernallady

I was talking to the B.f about it and reading the uk google news

4:43 am

rolin

clegg is now saying that the tories should try to form a gov.

4:43 am

Haz1558

The minority parties can try to get some of their favourite policies adopted etc. It'll come down to who Nick Clegg is prepared to back.

4:44 am

herinfernallady

See I really can't comment on the whole UK PM thing as I don't like our 2 current choices.

4:44 am

Haz1558

Conservatives have won more seats, they would claim moral victory in that why should the two losing parties form a government. There'll be a bit of horse-trading.

4:45 am

herinfernallady

I just saw the most saddest video. A kitty tried to save his friend :(

4:46 am

Nancy Boy

interesting mess. I'm off though, got a hospital visit to make

Those rosebreasted grosbeaks--the males--are gorgeous.

5:36 am

blueheron

Pretty soon the hummers will be back.

7:24 am

City 17 dweller

she probably thinks you've taken her on a trip to heaven - nowhere else is ever going to compare!

7:25 am

Hi Nono, {{Red}}, Guernseygirl

hi Mom

7:48 am

went away to watch Gordon Brown give his statement. back looking for words now. does anyhone have a list?

7:48 am

Atalante

what did GB have to say?

7:49 am

lynxxx

what was the statement?

7:49 am

NonoNanette

gremlin has one in his profile

7:49 am

guernseygirl

it will take time to resolve the situation, but he has offered a change to the voting system, which is obviously a carrot for the lib dems

7:49 am

guernseygirl

thanks nan

7:50 am

NonoNanette

yw

7:50 am

lynxxx

what situation? the fact that some voters could not get into the polling stations?

7:51 am

Atalante

the entire lack of no one party being in the majority

7:51 am

guernseygirl

not that. we have a hung parliament - no one party has an overall majority

7:52 am

guernseygirl

not clear who will get to be in power

7:52 am

lynxxx

Do your parties not have preferences?

7:53 am

Atalante

um?

7:53 am

guernseygirl

at the moment they are arguing about which has the strongest claim to lead. both major parties would like the lib dems to support them so that they could get an overall majority of the seats

7:54 am

herinfernallady

Helo

7:54 am

guernseygirl

lib dems came third

7:54 am

lynxxx

Not so in Australia. The essence of preferential voting is that voters number candidates on the ballot paper in a rank order of choice. You put the number 1 next to your first choice candidate, 2 next to your second choice, and so on. If your first choice candidate is not elected and no candidate receives half of the vote, your vote may be re-examined for its next preference. The point of the system is to elect the most preferred candidate, to choose the candidate that can build an absolute majority of support in the electorate rather than the simple majority required for first past the post voting.

7:54 am

lynxxx

sorry, voting preferences as under

7:55 am

guernseygirl

that is the system that the lib dems (and me) would like over here. it seems much fairer

7:55 am

guernseygirl

wow, you can type fast, lynxx

7:55 am

lynxxx

lol

7:55 am

Lynxx can I put neither on the vote this year and vote Julia Gillard

8:51 am

Haz1558

Hello! It's cold here today but I've been brave and swapped my winter clothes over for my summer clothes. A bi-annual task which leaves me surprised at the clothes I had forgotten I had.

8:51 am

Norma

You are being very brave Haz .... brrrrrrrrr

8:52 am

Anniebrook

Yes, I went through my summer clothes the other day and found new (really old) clothes I forgot I had too

8:52 am

Haz1558

I'm being optimistic.

8:52 am

Anniebrook

Saved me money which is always a welcome occurence

8:53 am

Haz1558

I know! I've also filled a bag with clothes that shouldn't see the light of day again.

8:54 am

Anniebrook

I am trying to get down to 50 left so I can get on with the day.

8:56 am

Boobear

clue for the last bl 5/14

8:57 am

Haz1558

Not sure if it's the last - plural of bl4/6 before the Scots bl7 for chatter.

8:57 am

Haz1558

No, there's the wee pancake after it.

8:57 am

Boobear

ty Haz

8:58 am

Anniebrook

Thanks Haz, the chatter gave me the last 2 to get to 50 left.....be back later, dear babblers

Haz1558

Who or what is harrying you?

9:06 am

72 Temple Owl

one appointment that makes me rearrange the whole day. two others that did ot work out but i also tried to cram in

9:07 am

Haz1558

No wonder you feel stressed, it's hateful when you have to rearrange plans especially if other things hang on them.

9:08 am

72 Temple Owl

well in fairness if i am to go to babble meet tomorro,w need to work today. going to conisgnment shop shortly with rejected summer stuff

9:09 am

Haz1558

Oh, is the babble meet tomorrow? Are you excited? And are there new people going to be there?

9:09 am

Haz1558

Three questions in one post. You'd think I was nosy or something...

9:09 am

EvaNadine

9:09 am

72 Temple Owl

9:10 am

72 Temple Owl

9:10 am

72 Temple Owl

9:10 am

Haz1558

9:10 am

EvaNadine

hola. :)

9:11 am

72 Temple Owl

post last night said the baby was "dawdling". think she will be a babbler? ;)

9:11 am

Haz1558

Do they know already that it's to be a girl?

9:12 am

72 Temple Owl

yes.

9:13 am

Haz1558

That gives them a head start on working out names, at least.

9:13 am

72 Temple Owl

yes but they're not letting one. dan posted the nicest video of the nursery, practiing with new video camera

9:13 am

Mom

Hi again, back to try for some more words.

Hello Mom.

9:14 am

72 Temple Owl

hi mom!

9:15 am

Mom

Hi Haz and TO

9:16 am

Mom

reading back through the chat. Who is having a baby?

9:16 am

Haz1558

Not me, that's for sure....

9:16 am

72 Temple Owl

i think "snither" should be a word...need to come up with a definition

9:16 am

Judi

Snither here nor there. Morning, mates!

9:16 am

Mom

Oh Haz, think of the adventure you would have.

9:17 am

72 Temple Owl

dan2bit . actually, mr.s dan2bit

9:17 am

Mom

good morning Judi

9:17 am

Haz1558

Hello, Judi!

9:17 am

Mom

that is neat. Miss little ones around here

9:17 am

72 Temple Owl

hi judi. judi is NOT coming to the babble meet. she doesn't love us

9:17 am

Haz1558

Mom, I'm just not the adventurous type! Although funnily enough, I saw a lovely baby yesterday out shopping and had to resist the urge to pick him up and cuddle him.

9:17 am

Judi

Huh? Who? Where? What?

9:18 am

Haz1558

Now Judi is going to pretend she wasn't invited.

9:18 am

72 Temple Owl

i can honestly say i 've never really felt that emotion.

9:18 am

Judi

Refresh my swiss cheese memory. When is the meet?

9:18 am

Mom

I can't say as I did until I had my own.

9:18 am

72 Temple Owl

balto tomorrow, 1300.

9:19 am

Haz1558

Really? He was a darling. I stood like a fool trying to get a smile.

9:19 am

Mom

all the children I had seen up until then were 'crumb snatchers, curtain climbers, rug rats" :-)

9:19 am

Judi

Hmmm. I'm free. Where's it going to be?

9:19 am

72 Temple Owl

i;ve heard that. perhaps it's bnautre's way, from the days when having them was not a matter of choice,

9:19 am

72 Temple Owl

chek seain's profile. it's a diner near johns hopkins

9:20 am

Haz1558

I like babies from about the 3 month to the 9 month stage especially. Old enough to know what you're doing with them, not old enough to be on the move and be potentially suicidal.

9:20 am

72 Temple Owl

i must call je, i don't think i even have the name may be in my browser history

9:20 am

SeaSpray

I always want to feel their hair Haz...so soft...am getting 21 month old granddaughter this evening for a sleep over

9:21 am

Mom

I will go up to the age of 5, then they have to stop aging.

9:21 am

Mom

9:21 am

SeaSpray

I will probably be the suicidal

9:21 am

SeaSpray

one

9:21 am

EvaNadine

9:21 am

Haz1558

Hello, Seaspray. You'll enjoy her company, I'm sure.

FMitch

Modest to the last I see Haz :)
Greetings all.

9:25 am

SeaSpray

Friend of mine lives near Nashville and sent pics...wow!

9:25 am

Haz1558

Hello, ruru.

9:26 am

72 Temple Owl

i was trying to iron shorts and t shirt to take to shop to sell what a comedy!

9:26 am

rururocks

good afternoon Ladies

9:26 am

Haz1558

Plunging to 61? We'd call that a heatwave here.

9:26 am

Mom

I have seen pictures from Tennessee, and it is just awful

9:26 am

72 Temple Owl

une is ok

9:26 am

Mom

here I will iron them TO

9:26 am

Judi

Okay, all you smarty pants. I just e-mailed dcseain and advised him that I will make an appearance at the Diner in Baltimore tomorrow!

9:26 am

72 Temple Owl

YAYAYAYAYY

9:26 am

72 Temple Owl

9:26 am

Haz1558

I ironed all my T-shirts ready for putting in the drawers. *smug*

9:26 am

72 Temple Owl

or taking the train

9:27 am

SeaSpray

Must leave shortly to welcome friend home from the hospital...he was riding his motorcycle to work wednesday and got hit by a tractor trailer...he is a very luck man

9:27 am

Judi

Squeeeee!

9:27 am

Mom

I am glad that Une is okay. I haven't seen her on babble to ask

9:27 am

72 Temple Owl

*in awe*

9:27 am

rururocks

9:27 am

Mom

very lucky Sea

9:27 am

Judi

Well, you could come to my house, TO and we can drive down in my car from there.

9:27 am

72 Temple Owl

judi you do have ny number in case

9:27 am

Haz1558

Only when the twin sets and pearls are at the dry cleaners.

9:27 am

72 Temple Owl

*in shock*

9:27 am

72 Temple Owl

LOLOLOLOL

9:27 am

FMitch

lol

9:28 am

Mom

9:28 am

72 Temple Owl

9:28 am

Mom

:)

9:28 am

FMitch

Byeee TO

9:28 am

72 Temple Owl

at least to tend the dryer

9:28 am

Haz1558

And I make sure not to go out of the house.

9:28 am

Mom

bye bye TO

9:28 am

Haz1558

Bye, TO!

9:28 am

Judi

No, I don't, TO. How do you want to exchange this info?

9:28 am

SeaSpray

I'll never be able to afford to have my pearls dry cleaned lol

9:29 am

Mom

I don't have real pearls, just costume jewelry

9:30 am

Haz1558

Pearls are lovely, but to be honest, the fake ones are so good that I don't see that you can justify the price of the real ones.

9:30 am

FMitch

Saves on the insurance then Mom

9:30 am

SeaSpray

the imitation stuff can go in the dryer Mom

9:30 am

Mom

yes it does FMitch

9:31 am

Haz1558

Apparently, you can tell the real from the fake because real pearls are gritty to the teeth. How many of us go round demanding to have a go at someone's pearls with your pearlies?

9:31 am

Mom

lol Haz.

9:31 am

SeaSpray

Who wants to bite them?

9:32 am

Mom

When I got engaged a person actually took my engagement ring to a piece of glass to see if it was a real diamond

9:32 am

FMitch

A vampire closing in the a meal perhaps?

9:32 am

Uneaixoise

hey, mom! Yes my family in Cookeville and moi in Nashville are fine :-)

9:32 am

Haz1558

Seriously? The cheek!

9:32 am

FMitch

Good to hear that Une.

9:32 am

SeaSpray

9:32 am

Uneaixoise

mom, when I drove back from Michigan Sunday, it looked like KY had a ton of rain as well!!

9:32 am

Mom

I was stunned

9:33 am

rururocks

looks prety bad on the news

9:33 am

Uneaixoise

I'm extremely lucky -- damage is estimated at near a billion dollars at this point

9:33 am

Mom

south of us was terrible Une, we had a funeral to go to in RIchmond and the rain was horrendous

9:33 am

rururocks

*pretty*

9:33 am

Haz1558

That is so wrong on so many counts. I hope they weren't invited to the wedding.

9:33 am

Mom

how was the graduation, Une?

9:33 am

SeaSpray

lol Haz

9:33 am

Mom

Haz, it was his brother

9:34 am

Uneaixoise

9:34 am

SeaSpray

Oh, I would have slapped the s*** out of him them!

9:34 am

rururocks

(une... how was the wine?)

9:34 am

SeaSpray

*then

9:34 am

Uneaixoise

Ruru, the graduate, her French dad, and I really enjoyed the wine!!!

9:34 am

Haz1558

Dear goodness. I'm not normally in favour of violence, but good grief, that's appalling.

9:34 am

Mom

believe me I wanted to. I grabbed it out of his hand and told him what an ass he was

9:35 am

Mom

she is lovely, Une

9:35 am

Uneaixoise

thanks, mom :-)

9:35 am

Haz1558

Good for you, Mom.

9:35 am

SeaSpray

Congrats on graduating Une...that is exciting...daughter graduated a year ago and we were talking about it just yesterday

9:35 am

Haz1558

Well done to the graduate, Une. What's next for her?

9:36 am

Uneaixoise

seaspray, it was her second master's degree!!

9:36 am

rururocks

oh she's a professional student

9:36 am

Uneaixoise

Haz, University of Michigan has hired her fulltime as "Librarian for French Studies"

9:36 am

SeaSpray

lol those probably would have been my exact words Mom

9:36 am

Mom

that is great Une

9:37 am

SeaSpray

with a few additional ones

9:37 am

Uneaixoise

well, ruru, she's taking a break before considering pursuing a PhD . . . but it's a possibility! LOL

9:37 am

Haz1558

Excellent, I hope she enjoys her new position. That's quite a distance from you, isn't it?

9:37 am

SeaSpray

wow, very ambitious

9:37 am

Mom

lol Seaspray

9:37 am

FMitch

She deserves to rest on her laurels for a little while at least!

9:37 am

Uneaixoise

Haz, at least I can drive there in 8 hours -- it could have been much further, as she considered Idaho, Maine, and others FAR away! :-)

9:38 am

SeaSpray

Now we are in the midst of planning a wedding

9:38 am

Uneaixoise

how exciting, seaspray!

9:38 am

Mom

it was funny, when he bought the engagement ring for his now ex=wife, she would n't settle for anything less than one carat. It was milky looking and really ugly. I told him his was zirconia

9:38 am

Mom

oh Sea, a wedding. How wonderful

9:38 am

Uneaixoise

(good to see you, fmitch)

9:38 am

FMitch

Haha Mom

9:38 am

SeaSpray

haha Mom

9:39 am

Haz1558

Nothing worse than milky looking and ugly in a diamond - sorry zirconia.

9:39 am

Mom

I got a lot of laughs out of it

9:40 am

Mom

but it was a carat!

9:40 am

SeaSpray

Daughters ring is gorgeous..we told him for 7 years if he didn't go for a big one not to buy one at all lol

9:40 am

FMitch

or a carrot?

9:40 am

rururocks

mrs ru wants BIG ones for her anniversary coming up

9:40 am

Mom

exactly FMitch, a carrot would have been a better idea

9:40 am

Haz1558

Mrs Ru probably deserves them.

9:40 am

Mom

how big is big ruru?

9:40 am

Mom

and what anniversary?

9:41 am

Uneaixoise

Haz, we had an adorable dog moment on Sunday -- had brunch here: (www.burnttoastinn.com) -- delightful owner had a huge St. Bernard who gave major kisses to everyone!! :-)

9:41 am

rururocks

9:42 am

Haz1558

Silver anniversary three years ago, I requested a new ring. Husband kindly let me choose. I had a ball! I tried on lots, ended up with not what I had in mind, but I love it. Four diamonds set in diamond formation.

9:42 am

Mom

**sting them on thread**

9:42 am

Judi

Awesome! Ours too - in October. We're going to San Antonio, TX for 7 days. I'd drop dead if he got me diamond anything.

9:46 am

72 Temple Owl

9:47 am

Mom

bye bye TO

9:47 am

Judi

I don't have your number, TO!

9:48 am

SeaSpray

I like to remember the price of a gallon of gas when I started driving

9:49 am

Mom

I remember 65 cents

9:49 am

SeaSpray

and the drive in sub shop that sold 15 cent hamburgers

9:49 am

kje

i remember fifty cent

9:49 am

Uneaixoise

9:49 am

SeaSpray

Mom

McDonalds 15 cents and WhiteCastles for a nickel

9:50 am

Mom

I love penny candy

9:50 am

FMitch

Oh don't, it is crazy when you think back to how little things costs. I bought an avocado yesterday and it costs me a Â£1 and was thinking I remember when they used to be 2 for 50p and that wasn't so long ago.

9:50 am

Uneaixoise

om 1970 gas was 35 cents

9:51 am

Uneaixoise

*in (not om!!)

9:51 am

SeaSpray

9:51 am

Haz1558

British fuel was never as cheap as US, it's got out of hand now.

9:51 am

SeaSpray

9:51 am

72 Temple Owl

SeaSpray

9:53 am

Uneaixoise

must take pups out to pee . . . BBL!

9:53 am

Judi

There was a brief period in the mid to late 80's where it went down to 0.78 per gallon or so. Time warp. Apparently the Arabs drilled too much. Practically had to give it away.

9:53 am

Haz1558

Bye, Seaspray.

9:53 am

FMitch

4 litres in a gallon

9:54 am

rururocks

I remember .29 per gallon

9:54 am

FMitch

and Â£1 = about $1.50

9:55 am

Mom

wow, FMitch

9:55 am

Mom

I was just using the currency converter

9:55 am

FMitch

So I think that means it is $7.18 ish a gallon.

9:55 am

Haz1558

I don't do a big mileage, just tootle around town, but it must be awful for people who have to use their cars a lot.

9:55 am

Mom

unbelievable

9:56 am

Boobear

clue for fo 4/8

9:56 am

kje

I didn't drive until late 1980, but I do remember the gas lines inthe 70s

9:56 am

Mom

Hi Boo, sorry I don't have it

9:56 am

FMitch

Diesel is even more expensive.

9:56 am

rururocks

you wouldn't want to know what I spend in gas annually

9:56 am

kje

and all the OPEC news

9:56 am

Mom

diesel is 3.09/gal here

9:56 am

rururocks

(she probably shouldn't drive now.. thinks ruru)

We envy your mass transit systems though. Unless one lives in a major metropolitan city, a personal car is absolutely necessary.

9:59 am

Mom

Ruru, I first heard it on the Flintstones

10:00 am

Haz1558

Even colder? I put those woollies away too soon.

10:00 am

kje

10:00 am

Judi

Temps are going to drop here too, FM. Apparently, we've caught your "cold".

10:00 am

Haz1558

Another of5.

10:00 am

FMitch

Yes you did HAz, it is all your fault for casting a clout before May was out (tsk tsk).

10:00 am

LOL mom! are we all quoting wilma - too funny

Haz1558

You're right, FM. For once, you bear no blame.

Going to put the kettle on back in a bit.

It takes a bit of work, that's for sure.

10:12 am

10:13 am

Haz1558

me5/12 - a French disturbance/crowd

10:13 am

10:13 am

Pardon my spelling on that if it is incorrect.

10:14 am

FMitch

Hows Dylan coming along ruru?

10:14 am

Haz1558

Pandemonium. Pandamonium - when they escape from the zoo.

10:15 am

rururocks

he is turning out to be a very nice boy...

10:15 am

FMitch

Hehe Haz

Under your tutelage ruru I am sure he will be great :)

10:15 am

Judi

Precisely, Haz.

10:17 am

Haz1558

They're not known for being fast movers, so I reckon the keepers would have them rounded up quickly. Unless they had help from the outside with getaway vehicles.

10:17 am

Vicuna

Panda cars, in fact.

10:17 am

Vicuna

Hello, all.

10:18 am

Haz1558

Absolutely, VI. Hello!

10:18 am

FMitch

Well Fiat did make a car especially for them HAz (or at least named after them) :)

10:18 am

Judi

Hiya, Vic!

10:18 am

FMitch

Greetings Vi!

10:19 am

Judi

Pondering: what should I have for lunch?

10:19 am

Vicuna

We saw one just the other day, stalking the wild bamboo with skill and guile.

10:19 am

Haz1558

What would you like to have?

10:20 am

Haz1558

Was the panda on its own, VI?

10:20 am

Boobear

clue for he 7 pls

10:20 am

Judi

I thought they drove Pandatsuns.

10:20 am

FMitch

mmmm steak, frites and Bernaise sauce.

10:20 am

Haz1558

he7 - they're getting shorter all the time.

10:20 am

Vicuna

Yeah. His wife had taken to her bed in case of pregnancy.

10:21 am

Vicuna

This was at the National Zoo in D.C.

10:21 am

Haz1558

he7 - what I dread unravelling in case I have to re5/14 it.

10:21 am

Haz1558

Taken to her bed? Morning sickness, I suppose.

10:22 am

FMitch

*ponders if mammals get morning sickness*

10:22 am

Vicuna

They had closed the panda house so no one could go inside, so she could get some privacy. But the gentleman was outside.

10:22 am

Vicuna

We're mammals, FM. (Although I got evening sickness, not morning sickness, myself.)

10:23 am

Haz1558

Was he looking suitably proud? Handing out cigars? Pacing up and down in practice for the birth?

10:23 am

Uniquity

**Pouts because this is another grid of phantoms!**

10:23 am

Haz1558

Hey ho Uni!

10:23 am

Uniquity

Was I just called ho Uni? Hmmm..

10:24 am

Haz1558

I will punctuate. Hey ho, Uni!

10:24 am

Haz1558

Is that better?

10:24 am

Vicuna

Well, are lengths of bamboo close enough to count as cigars?

10:24 am

Vicuna

Hello, Uni!

10:24 am

Joanne123

don't sound better haz lol

10:24 am

Uniquity

Lynn Truss would be proud! Also, I've got a short book in your profile. How exciting!

10:25 am

FMitch

Lol Vi, was thinking about poor elephant with her gestation period.

Hello Uni!!!!!!

10:25 am

Haz1558

I think so. If he was making pretend smoke rings, then I think you can safely assume that bamboo = cigar.

10:25 am

Uniquity

'Lo all!

10:26 am

Uniquity

Has my mother made her promised appearance yet today?

10:26 am

Vicuna

True, FM. No fun.

10:26 am

Haz1558

No, she has not. I've sat here for HOURS. HOURS when I could have been cleaning something.

10:26 am

FMitch

Not that I have seen Uni but at least we got to play yesterday :)

LOL Haz

10:27 am

Vicuna

AH, we are awaiting a visitation?

10:27 am

Uniquity

I've heard that the PB ceiling could use a scrub..

10:27 am

Vicuna

*pats down hair and sits up starighter*

10:28 am

Haz1558

And you're looking at me to tackle the ceiling? Me, little tiny me?

10:28 am

Vicuna

Ceilings are FM's job, I think.

10:28 am

Vicuna

It's floors for you and me, Haz.

10:28 am

Uniquity

Methinks we might be waiting a while. The weather here is magnificent and I believe hers is as well. She'll never come inside!

10:28 am

Judi

Crap. I just realized we don't have Lickety's clues today.

10:29 am

FMitch

No need to be heightist Vi ;)

10:29 am

Vicuna

*musses hair and slouches back down*

10:29 am

Uniquity

I'll clean (out) the bookshelf. I've contributed.

10:29 am

Haz1558

Absolutely, Vi. Height challenged people know their limitations.

10:29 am

FMitch

Judi there is a list on BabAnon courtesy of Jacula.

10:29 am

Uniquity

Five foot ten is too short to do ceilings, right? Right!

10:29 am

Judi

Ty. Can't get to Babanon, tho.

10:30 am

Haz1558

She has it on her profile as well.

10:30 am

Vicuna

Huh, I'm married to a Person of Height and my children will be taller than me in no time.

10:30 am

Uniquity

Oy, I can't finish grids without expert anymore. Should never have started :)

10:30 am

Judi

Hiya, Crossy!

10:30 am

"person of height" - LOLOL

10:30 am

FMitch

Hey crossy ((()))

10:31 am

crosshair

(((FM)))

10:31 am

Uniquity

Roundabouts, FM. If I remember correctly, you're taller than me! I think we should test though, just pop on over to NS.

10:31 am

Haz1558

Vi, I know the problem. My older daughter towers above me. The younger one is much more my size.

10:31 am

Vicuna

Hello, New Arrivals.

10:31 am

FMitch

you remember correctly - am 6' but would love to come over and prove it :)

10:31 am

Kaplan the Magne

Hello and goodbye...

10:32 am

crossy is 6ft right on da nose;)

10:32 am

Uniquity

Hoo, it's a party up in here. *Puts on party tinfoil hat and snaps suspenders*.

10:32 am

Haz1558

She really is that tall, is FM.

10:32 am

Vicuna

SO if your nose is at the 6' mark, the top of your head must be...

10:32 am

crosshair

lol

10:33 am

Uniquity

No stilts for FM when she does the ceiling.

10:33 am

Judi

...hopefully higher than your nose. Would hate to think of you as a low brow.

10:33 am

LoriP

Party? ***Dons lampshade***

10:34 am

Vicuna

lol. Depends how snooty he is, I guess!

10:34 am

Haz1558

She's here! Hooray!

10:34 am

Vicuna

Where did we leave the tin foil lampshades?

10:34 am

Uniquity

Hm, has it got brighter or dimmer with Lori in the lampshade?

10:34 am

FMitch

Yay *locks and loads*!!

10:34 am

Haz1558

Hello Lori! Nice to see you.

10:34 am

Krysten

depends on how many beers we've had

10:34 am

Vicuna

Hello, Lori!

10:35 am

Vicuna

Well, Uni, that depends how lit up Lori is!

10:35 am

Haz1558

Retreating under the desk. This is going to get messy.

10:35 am

LoriP

***removes lampshade and dons warfare helemt, dives in to foxhole***

10:35 am

Uniquity

Oh no. *Hiding in cupboard with water balloons filled with wine*. Just in case.

10:35 am

FMitch

Water balloons filled with wine, how inventive!

10:36 am

Vicuna

*just keeps typing unaccepted words with stoic dignity*

10:36 am

Uniquity

This way you can drink them if no-one bothers you..

10:36 am

FMitch

Come on out everyone *places water splurger on the ground*
Lovely to see yo again Lori.

10:36 am

LoriP

Hazaurus! No worries about getting under the desk. All that's required for order to reign is FM's proper b
ehavior .....

10:36 am

Judi

Balloon sucking. How undignified. (could you pass one over, please?)

10:37 am

Uniquity

Red, white or rose, Judi? (Pretend there's an accent on that e, please.)

10:37 am

Haz1558

It's okay, I've fitted the extra long arm extensions so that I can keep typing. The periscope is difficult to master, but we're getting there.

10:37 am

FMitch

*grins, remembering the last time Haz retreated under the desk*

10:38 am

LoriP

'Tis true Haz, yesterday I was reborn. I'm neither new nor improved, just back. :)

10:38 am

Judi

White, please. Sauvignon Blanc if you have it (preferably a New Zealand).

10:38 am

Haz1558

Oh, I know. I can feel the blushes starting again.

10:38 am

FMitch

and cherished Lori.

10:38 am

Uniquity

You are older though! Perhaps wiser.

10:38 am

LoriP

wine filled balloons? ***That girl must have ahd terrible parenting***

10:38 am

Haz1558

Well, Lori, I'm very pleased to see you. You've been missed.

10:39 am

Uniquity

I've also got a 2 l. bottle of a terrible white "wine" known as "The Great White". Tastes awful and is 20%. Needs to go!

10:39 am

Judi

Pffth. And you thought you could only put cocaine in balloons.

10:39 am

LoriP

You'll notice I've taken typing classes during my hiatus.

10:39 am

Vicuna

If you've been missed, it's just because FM's aim isn't very good! ;)

10:40 am

FMitch

LOL Vi!

10:40 am

Uniquity

*Re-align's FM's catapult*. Try again!

10:40 am

Judi

Dump it, Uni. Twould be unethical to subject anyone else to it.

10:40 am

LoriP

Vic beat me to it. ***foiled again***

10:40 am

Haz1558

Did you do an FM sponsored correspondence course, Lori? 'The art of tiping'

10:40 am

Judi

BB after lunch. *POOF*

10:40 am

FMitch

oh ha ha very fuuny
Bye Judi

10:40 am

Haz1558

Bye, Judi.

10:41 am

Vicuna

*hands Lori the tin foil, the better to foil her again*

10:41 am

Vicuna

Bye, Judi.

10:41 am

LoriP

Later Judi. Eye lurned a lot from FM's coarse.

10:41 am

Uniquity

Bye Judi!

10:41 am

FMitch

My spelling mistakes have kept babble entertained for years now.

10:41 am

Vicuna

I wish "blempt" were a word. I don't like this grid.

10:42 am

LoriP

With FM it's one on one co-respondents. Vic how much white out is on your screen with THIS grid?

10:43 am

Vicuna

I think the white-out is in my brain.

10:43 am

Haz1558

It's a stinker of a grid.

10:43 am

LoriP

I tried some very impressive sounding words and they were declined. I think there's something wrong with enable.

10:43 am

Vicuna

Oh, there's just so much wrong with Enable.

10:43 am

FMitch

Perhaps we should start our own dictionary

10:43 am

aebmusica

hey Vi.......remover 2 letters and it is a word.

10:44 am

Haz1558

Enable has little imagination. So unwilling to test new waters.

10:44 am

Uniquity

And we're all such an adventurous lot! :)

10:44 am

Vicuna

Alas, i did already have that bl4. But thanks, aebmusica.

10:45 am

FMitch

Wonder wjhat it would take to get Dr_G to update to a newer version of Enable?

10:45 am

Boobear

can someone reclue the he 7. I am stuck

10:45 am

Uniquity

But then there would be MORE words in the grid. That sounds like trouble.

10:45 am

aebmusica

uw

10:45 am

aebmusica

uw

10:45 am

Vicuna

Except when Enable accepts a word we don't know, we always complain about how stooopid it is, so maybe it's no wonder Enable won't stretch itself.

10:45 am

Haz1558

he7 - the length of a skirt, perhaps?

10:45 am

FMitch

Hi aebmu

10:46 am

FMitch

Good points both of you Vi and Uni

10:46 am

Vicuna

he 7 supposedly goes up and down with the stock market.

10:46 am

aebmusica

hi all and FM

10:46 am

aebmusica

hi all and FM

10:47 am

Haz1558

In that case, Vi, these days you'd need varying lengths for each hour!

10:47 am

Vicuna

Just wear pants.

10:47 am

Vicuna

(Or, if you're in the UK, trousers!)

10:47 am

LoriP

fremble is too a word!

10:48 am

FMitch

or trousers even if in the UK as you would get strange looks otherwise :)

10:48 am

Haz1558

To rhyme with tr7?

10:49 am

LoriP

Exactly Hazurus. fremble, the pre quivering state

10:49 am

Vicuna

Well, you should probably wear pants, too, of course...

10:49 am

Haz1558

I thought that was premble?

10:50 am

Haz1558

dremble, when you get the news you'd not wanted to hear.

10:51 am

FMitch

Was also going to query when Uni said she snapped her suspenders, did she mean the things that hold up socks or trousers or a particular piece of undergarment to hold up stockings? :)

10:51 am

Haz1558

I know. I wondered about that as well.

10:51 am

Vicuna

Uni was snapping 'em all! Whooeee!

10:52 am

FMitch

LOL

10:52 am

FMitch

She must be into bondage withat much strappage.

10:52 am

crossy in all seriousness, it may be hard braking the habits now but just htink how much better you will sleep and feel after a while and then you can indulge from time to time.

11:19 am

72 Temple Owl

her father is a retired contractor who does handyman work - like replacing the front window, she has the same awful one as me and is having him do it.

11:20 am

72 Temple Owl

referrals are the best way to get tradesmen

11:20 am

Haz1558

Handymen = gold dust.

11:20 am

FMitch

Oh now that is a useful contact TO.

11:20 am

Uniquity

Mm, lottery winnings. I could hire a full-time perogie dough maker!

11:20 am

Vicuna

11:20 am

72 Temple Owl

72 Temple Owl

11:22 am

72 Temple Owl

*pouts since ata did not even say hello*

11:22 am

guernseygirl

of course you couldn't possibly push that cat off, could you.

11:22 am

Atalante

hi TO!!

11:23 am

Atalante

I should be going too ...

11:23 am

Haz1558

Spangle will need a walk soon. The tablets are working, I'm convinced of it.

11:23 am

crosshair

crossy eyes his bran/fibre cerial balefully.i swear much more fibre and im gonna be farting dust lol

11:23 am

TraderKate

push the cat off??? isn't that animal cruelty?

11:23 am

Vicuna

Of course not, guernseygirl. I'm much too tenderhearted.

11:23 am

72 Temple Owl

Hi ATA! You even get capital letters!

11:23 am

Atalante

awwww tyty!!

11:24 am

Haz1558

Einst5/10's granddaughter deserves no less.

11:24 am

Vicuna

Oh, Haz, Nightshade just got diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. If only we could just put her together with Spangle and mix them up a bit...

11:24 am

crosshair

crossy thought of a beer st***

11:24 am

TraderKate

crossy, i'm gonna cook you something nice, drive up and smuggle it in to you

11:24 am

Atalante

tablets? what's wrong with Spanglettina?

11:25 am

Haz1558

Vi, do you think babble has something to do with it? Can we blame Dr-G for their lethargy?

11:25 am

72 Temple Owl

haz, the shop took nearly all of my items, know selling them is a different matter

11:25 am

crosshair

lol ty kate,but you better save it for when i hit the wall mid month

11:25 am

Haz1558

Ata, she's been diagnosed with hypothyroidism. No thanks to husband who declared that she was just getting old.....

11:25 am

Atalante

awww poor Spangle!

11:25 am

Vicuna

Well, when in doubt, shouldn't we blame FM?

11:26 am

crosshair

blame crossy today,give fm a break;0

11:26 am

72 Temple Owl

porr spangle

11:26 am

TraderKate

just let me know what you'd like crossy (^_^)

11:26 am

Haz1558

We probably should. Vi, I misread, your Nightshade has the opposite problem. Is she hyper?

11:26 am

Vicuna

Nightshade's is hypER, and she wasn't so much lethargic as just losing a lot of weight.

11:27 am

Vicuna

No, not really hyperactive. But she got weird urges to eat stuff she never liked before.

11:27 am

72 Temple Owl

did judi say she would stop back in today?

11:27 am

Haz1558

I knew Spangle wasn't right because she was so unwilling to walk very far and just lacking her usual bounce. Blood tests confirmed it.

11:27 am

Haz1558

Judi said she was going for lunch, not sure if she'll be back.

11:27 am

72 Temple Owl

ty

11:27 am

nanachichi

how many words in this grid

11:27 am

TraderKate

we're getting word here of a possible coalition between labour and conservatives?

11:28 am

Vicuna

But Spangle's getting back to rights again?

11:28 am

Vicuna

181, nanachichi

11:28 am

nanachichi

thank you

11:28 am

Atalante

poor Spangle. You can always tell, can't you

11:28 am

Haz1558

She's improving. We'll need to get more blood tests done to confirm that the dosage is right.

11:28 am

crosshair

crossy makes hex sign and the evil eye at politics

11:28 am

Atalante

hope Mr Haz feels guilty!

11:29 am

Haz1558

Labour and Conservatives will never be in coalition. It'll either be conservatives and Liberals, or Liberals and Labour.

11:29 am

72 Temple Owl

ah, synthroid is supposed to be the most presribed drug in us

11:29 am

crosshair

im still fuming at the HST they are ramming down our throats

11:29 am

Haz1558

Mr Haz feels suitably guilty, yes, but points out that he usually sees much worse cases before anything is suspected.

11:29 am

Atalante

very true. he's almost absolved

11:29 am

72 Temple Owl

did he give the final diagnosis?

11:30 am

Haz1558

Almost.

11:30 am

TraderKate

last night there was word of labour/liberals... but we are getting this strange report of labour/conservatives... must be erroneous

11:30 am

Haz1558

No - I dragged her into the surgery for some of the others to look at her.

11:30 am

Atalante

ok, pub time! love to you all and a big hug to La Glitterata

11:31 am

TraderKate

72 Temple Owl

bye vi!

11:36 am

crosshair

crossy dreams of a spiced rum cake...

11:37 am

TraderKate

i suppose if you had a spice cake recipe, you could replace the liquid with a full bodied red with not too much tannin and it would be nice...

11:37 am

72 Temple Owl

i don't like rum.

11:37 am

72 Temple Owl

anyway, that's a christmas treat and by then you will be able to have it!

11:38 am

72 Temple Owl

how do you know how much tannin? if that is what makes you pucker, i hate it

11:38 am

TraderKate

crossy dreams of food all the time... not feeling sorry for him...

11:39 am

cybernan

Barb's Horses

sounds like a yummy choc. cake receipe...

11:39 am

Barb's Horses

Hi nan

11:40 am

TraderKate

yes... less pucker power, especially at end of sip. the labels will often tell you soft tannin.. low tannin...ask at liquor store for help... doesn't need to be too dry. a little sweetness would not go amiss

11:40 am

TraderKate

something like a lambrusco maybe? not so familiar with u.s. wines...

11:41 am

TraderKate

you could try looking for a non-oaked wine.

12:32 pm

Riverdance

Good AFternoon Everyone

12:32 pm

rubyfoo

what timing! hello

12:32 pm

Riverdance

gee I havent qualfied for any stimulus credit yet - and its not because I make too much money

12:32 pm

Boobear

welcome back Mom

12:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

well then i am middle class! bring it on!

12:32 pm

Riverdance

Hello Ruby - got yours - beautiful

12:33 pm

jmcnrick

it would be part of your tax return mom

12:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

wait, i don't see how turbo tax would miss that, the online version is updated as they come

12:33 pm

jmcnrick

and there are several reasons why you may not have qualified

12:33 pm

rubyfoo

but not the figs!

12:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

I will be asking for a refund from them if so

12:33 pm

Riverdance

got money back already but didnt pay attention to what accountant did. I think we qualified for anything special anyway

12:33 pm

jmcnrick

eh. just a thought TO it may have been something else

12:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

well ge that will buy me two shrubs!

12:34 pm

rubyfoo

if you are an American living abroad and paying American taxes, do you qualify for a stimulus?

12:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

they will be sending me a letter to say why

12:35 pm

Riverdance

I know why (dont hit me) but I cashed in a 401K two years ago to buy some property. Got hit with that added to my income and owed the government lots of money besides not qualifying for any credits or even deductions - sucked for us poor folk - its the only way we could have bought the property

12:35 pm

jmcnrick

i donno ruby but i would guess not since the idea is to put money back into the US economy not France's

12:35 pm

rubyfoo

would someone pls give me clues of the 8's and the 9?

12:35 pm

cybernan

this is such a tough grid -- especially without lickety

12:50 pm

Gadget

Cool. She's growing fast!

12:51 pm

Riverdance

I liked the owl jumping up and down on the roof - could just hear him hooting yippee

12:51 pm

Riverdance

yes they do - mine is now 17 and I remember her like yours only yesterday

12:52 pm

Riverdance

I have come to the conclusion the I hate NE's the most

12:53 pm

Riverdance

12:53 pm

Riverdance

12:54 pm

Riverdance

there is one 5

12:54 pm

Boobear

Mom do you have plans for Mother's Day

12:55 pm

Riverdance

no plans at all - was thinking about taking my Mom out for breakfast - just the 2 of us - otherwise I would like nice quiet day at home, maybe sitting outside with a nice glass of wine - or if raining babbling with a nice glass of wine

12:56 pm

Boobear

well have a great Mom's day

12:56 pm

Riverdance

whatever I do it will be with a nice glass of wine

12:56 pm

Boobear

yes I agree with that

12:57 pm

rubyfoo

I'll put a bottle of white in the fridge, just in case mom comes.....

12:57 pm

rubyfoo

the red is sitting out waiting

12:57 pm

Riverdance

i better leave now

12:57 pm

rubyfoo

bye, mom

12:57 pm

Riverdance

not babble silly - to your house

12:58 pm

rubyfoo

just make sure I know the correct day! That fiasco was probably my fault

12:58 pm

rubyfoo

I've got a leg of lamb (halal) marinating and all the fixings

12:59 pm

rubyfoo

it is huge, so all you babbler come on over!

12:59 pm

Soodle

Ruby - I meant to ask you - How are things on the domestic front?

12:59 pm

Riverdance

when you are retired, you should not worry about that stuff - when they come, they come and where there is food, they will come

1:00 pm

rubyfoo

I worked out a detente after that last war, and it seems to be holding, at least for now

1:01 pm

Soodle

Good! Marriage is a constant battle, with occasional outbreaks of peace (or at least it was in my case...LOL)

1:01 pm

rubyfoo

there are a lot of French words in he**, but only one of them worked so far, me*** (black bird)

1:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

ok, catch you all later

1:01 pm

rubyfoo

I'm too old to fight any more!

1:01 pm

Soodle

Bye bye TO

1:01 pm

Riverdance

the only peace I am getting right now is because he is talking to me

1:02 pm

Riverdance

I'll take it any way I can!!!

1:02 pm

rubyfoo

exactly!

1:03 pm

Soodle

My kids took the death of our dog much harder than the vamoosing of their dad. Says it all, really, doesn't it?

1:03 pm

rubyfoo

yes, soodle, it really does

1:04 pm

rubyfoo

there are a lot of birds in this grid

1:05 pm

Riverdance

sure does - sorry to hear of your dog's death. It is such a heartbreak - I remember and will be going through it again in the next year or so with my old girl.

1:05 pm

rubyfoo

every time I cuddle Ruby, I worry about her getting older

1:06 pm

rubyfoo

it drives me crazy as I know that chows don't live long

1:06 pm

rubyfoo

losing a dog is horrible

1:07 pm

Riverdance

ONe think I wont do this time is bring her home. WE brought our last one home to bury. I still cry every time I walk past her grave.

1:07 pm

Riverdance

and that was 10 years ago

1:07 pm

rubyfoo

when our Rufus was put down, I had the vet come to the house and I held him on my lap and had him buried in the garden next to Cleo

1:08 pm

rubyfoo

my husband wants to be buried next to the dogs, but I think it's against the law!

1:08 pm

Riverdance

I thought it would be comforting to talk to her as I am looking at my flowers.

1:08 pm

Riverdance

we can come and take of that for your ruby - lol

1:09 pm

rubyfoo

when Ruby is upset or afraid of the wind or thunder, she hunkers down on the graves, really spooky

1:09 pm

Riverdance

on to a more cheerful note - what is everyone doing for Mothers Day

1:09 pm

rubyfoo

I was just thinking the same thing, mom! needed a laugh!

1:10 pm

rubyfoo

my son might be coming next week, but still hasn't firmed up his plans. They're coming standby and will be here the 12th or 13th or whatever. His wife is a vegetarian and he is gluten-free! Happy Mothers' Day to me hahahah

1:12 pm

Riverdance

Oh, you will have a great time. Just have lots of salad stuff on hand. There is breakfast salad, lunch salad and supper salad. Covers both issues

1:13 pm

rubyfoo

at least he eats eggs (she doesn't) but I can't even make couscous for my boy, and it's his favorite dish!

1:14 pm

Riverdance

there must be a gluten free section in your grocery store that may have something similar to a couscous

1:15 pm

rubyfoo

I wonder if he eats quinoa?

1:16 pm

rubyfoo

are you kidding, separate a Frenchman from his bread????

1:17 pm

Riverdance

I dont know what that is - but if he is gluten free for a medical reason - he mostly likely does not eat bread anymore

1:17 pm

rubyfoo

I just reached half at last, YAY, and will be off for the night. See you tomorrow while the lamb is spinning on the spit!

1:17 pm

Riverdance

have a good evening ruby and a good weekend. Happy Mothers Day.

1:17 pm

Boobear

clue for pa 5/14

1:18 pm

rubyfoo

no bread or wheat flour of any kind, so no pasta, no couscous. I think quinoa is like barley

1:18 pm

1:27 pm

Riverdance

Me too - its much more work to use jacula or grems list but it is needed so I do thank them

1:28 pm

Soodle

Ditto. Lickety is just a bit too handy. I will make much more of an effort without it. But, like you, I am very grateful for other Babblers' lists

YAY boo, bonjour Une!

3:29 pm

stidmama

down to 78 earlier, this is a pretty impressive puzzle!

3:31 pm

stidmama

oh... maybe I am alone?

3:31 pm

lawyer-1

never alone, stid

3:31 pm

stidmama

hey lawyer!

3:32 pm

lawyer-1

que pasa?

3:33 pm

stidmama

hace un buen dia hoy... AND it's WARM! I have the doors and windows open. AND I spent time in the garden. Never happier than when my hands have soil under the nails

3:33 pm

stidmama

how about you?

3:35 pm

lawyer-1

got a potential medical problem that has me in a funk

3:36 pm

stidmama

oh no. (((lawyer))) that's too bad. Anything I can "do" to help?

3:36 pm

lawyer-1

help me get my mind off my problem

3:36 pm

stidmama

okay, what's black and white and red all over?

3:37 pm

lawyer-1

a sunburned penguin

3:37 pm

lawyer-1

a shot nun

3:37 pm

stidmama

oh! that's a good one! I was thinking newspaper being red...

3:37 pm

stidmama

ewww. don't like the nun one.

3:38 pm

stidmama

let's see. what's black and tan and wines?

3:38 pm

stidmama

oh no, that's not a joke, that's my german shepherd...

3:38 pm

lawyer-1

newspapers are read, not red...it's an oral joke

3:38 pm

stidmama

I know, lawyer, but since I can't "say" it I had to pick one or the other. *sigh*

3:38 pm

lawyer-1

so, what r ur weekend plans?

3:38 pm

stidmama

okay, so that doesn't work.

3:39 pm

stidmama

Homework, of course, trying to work ahead on some of the required assignments, since I have to miss one week of classes to teach. And gardening. A LOT of gardening. Tom and the boys must get the fence up around the veggie garden so I can plant!

3:40 pm

stidmama

how about you? hanging out with some grands?

3:40 pm

lawyer-1

I miss not having a veggie garden

3:41 pm

lawyer-1

no, we are heading up to PA for a warehouse shoe sale

3:41 pm

stidmama

I did, too -- couldn't work outside at all last year (couldn't walk or get up and down) and so nothing got done. Tom will garden, but I am the one who loves to plan and plant.

3:41 pm

stidmama

hm. shoe sale sounds like a good alternative! LOL

3:41 pm

redturtlehead

Evening all. how is everyone going along?

3:42 pm

lawyer-1

they have it twice a year, so we get shoes twice a year

3:42 pm

stidmama

"lenient" is one of my phantom words today. Must have tried it seven times already!

3:42 pm

stidmama

hey red!

3:42 pm

lawyer-1

It's Hanover shoe, so they have Clark's, Bostonian, etc.

3:42 pm

stidmama

oh, those are NICE shoes!

3:43 pm

stidmama

my paternal unit swears by Clark's

3:43 pm

lawyer-1

especially at $19.95 a pair

3:43 pm

stidmama

*gasp* almost would make the airfare worth it! LOL

3:43 pm

redturtlehead

I should have my Parents drive on over. is it in Hanover?

3:44 pm

lawyer-1

My wife refers to me as the male Immelda marcos

3:44 pm

lawyer-1

It is on the square in Hanover

3:44 pm

redturtlehead

Ahh, I will send my parents a message, they do not live that close, but not that far either, and both are a bit picky about shoes.

3:45 pm

stidmama

and tell them to look for the well-shod gentleman with a wallet full of grandkid pics...

3:45 pm

stidmama

how are you red? was this your first day?

3:45 pm

redturtlehead

3:46 pm

3:46 pm

3:48 pm

redturtlehead

3:49 pm

stidmama

3:49 pm

3:49 pm

lawyer-1

eenie doesn't work

3:50 pm

redturtlehead

yes, well...it should open up and thunderstorm any minute now, I hope.

3:50 pm

stidmama

well, down to 55 and have to keep working on this obnoxious "survey of the literature" -- it's crap, but it's also half written and not due for a few weeks so if I get it "done" now then all I have to do later is tweak the little things.

3:50 pm

redturtlehead

Oh and an update, my "avocado plant" turend out to be elephant ears that were dormant, oops.

3:51 pm

stidmama

rofl, that's funny red! but nice. I like elephant ears!

3:51 pm

stidmama

our avocado, that sprouted in the compost, is still alive on the back porch and doing just fine without all the pampering.

3:51 pm

4:49 pm

guernseygirl

i've been stuck on 58 for the last few hours

4:49 pm

Trezz

a few years ago now

4:49 pm

guernseygirl

fermain bay?

4:50 pm

Trezz

4:50 pm

Trezz

4:50 pm

guernseygirl

very pretty part of the island

4:50 pm

guernseygirl

i was brought up in St Peter Port

4:50 pm

Trezz

yes we stayed in the hotel le'chatel?

4:50 pm

guernseygirl

oh, i know that hotel. it's nice

4:51 pm

Trezz

st peter port is lovely

4:51 pm

Trezz

i have also been to jersey, herm sark and

4:51 pm

Trezz

alderney

4:51 pm

guernseygirl

we had a house overlooking the harbour with much the same view as on my iconf

4:52 pm

guernseygirl

i love Sark and Herm. not so keen on Jersey.

4:52 pm

Trezz

wow that must have been amazing

4:52 pm

Trezz

yes i saw the barclay brothers castle which is on

4:52 pm

Trezz

herm is it?

4:52 pm

guernseygirl

it was great, although living on the side of a hill was a bit exhausting

4:53 pm

guernseygirl

what a monstrosity that is.

4:53 pm

guernseygirl

brecqhou, just off Sark

4:53 pm

Trezz

ahhh, st peter port was near the second hotel we stayed in

4:53 pm

Trezz

within walking distance

4:53 pm

guernseygirl

you need to go to Alderney to get the full set of Channel Islands, Trezz

4:54 pm

Trezz

yes i have been to alderney

4:54 pm

guernseygirl

and Lihou?

4:54 pm

Trezz

is sark the one with like no cars and about 60 people?

4:54 pm

Trezz

no not there haha!

4:55 pm

guernseygirl

neither Herm nor Sark have cars, but Herm is smaller and i think has less than 50 people

4:56 pm

guernseygirl

Sark has about 400. very high cliffs and a very narrow pass between the two parts of the island. scary to walk across

4:56 pm

Trezz

i remember taking the ferry to one of them and walking around the whole island pretty much

4:56 pm

Trezz

i like guernsey a lot more than jersey though

4:56 pm

guernseygirl

that'd be Herm. Also very pretty

4:57 pm

guernseygirl

i think Jersey is a bit more commercialised than Guernsey - good zoo though

4:57 pm

guernseygirl

what part of the world do you come from?

4:57 pm

Trezz

haha yes the darwin zoo is that? i liked it there

4:58 pm

guernseygirl

can't remember what it was called, but i had a snake put round my neck there!

4:58 pm

Trezz

ah yes that, its one ofthe only things i remember haha

5:01 pm

6:25 pm

stidmama

6:29 pm

crosshair

good stuff gramma,get it done and get to sleep again

6:29 pm

stidmama

and if I understand it aright, once you are sleeping better, some of the weight may come off anyway because you will feel better so be more active in the daytime.

6:29 pm

gramma

They haven't said anything yet; but, I would imagine they will require that I lose weight also.

6:30 pm

crosshair

i think you are right stidmama

6:30 pm

crosshair

but ill warn you right now gramma,the machines are not cheap

6:30 pm

crosshair

the bottom machine is 1100.00 cad!!

6:31 pm

stidmama

6:32 pm

6:33 pm

JBV

hi folks, catching up with the chat, crossy, glad to hear you are on a campaign to fix the apnea problem, I'm wishing you the best - here is some hope for you - hubby had bad apnea too, did the sleep study, etc. CPAP, all that, then lost weight (unfortunately not voluntarily) but guess what - no more apnea!!

6:33 pm

stidmama

hey JBV! (((hugs)))

6:33 pm

JBV

6:34 pm

periwinkle

hello stiddy

6:34 pm

lynxxx

hi JBV. So he doesn't use the machine anymore?

6:34 pm

JBV

6:34 pm

stidmama

It's manageable this week JBV! LOL and have had a lovely day at home, just hanging out working quietly on the things that must be done.

6:34 pm

6:34 pm

JBV

6:35 pm

gramma

6:35 pm

JBV

oh I'm so sorry to hear that NB - I was hoping it would be a happy reunion

6:42 pm

I can't imagine anyone doing mean things to their own children like that.

6:43 pm

crosshair

im gathering a family get together that did not go well?

6:43 pm

Nancy Boy

6:44 pm

Nancy Boy

Crossy - my dad's been hospitalised for some heart trouble, and I went to go see him. stupidly :s

6:44 pm

Riverdance

6:45 pm

Nancy Boy

thanks, everyone. need a little parenting today!

6:45 pm

lynxxx

oh that's tough - but your Mum will talk to you?

6:46 pm

crosshair

so they did not take the visit for what it was worth,a concerned child visiting hid da,but used the time to hash up old crap? i hope not.time is too short for that crap and they will be very sad at the missed times together

6:46 pm

Nancy Boy

not anymore, Lynx - I've been cut out. The extended family in Korea have been told I'm dead. Sick.

6:47 pm

crosshair

i will love my son no matter his choices,i do not order but guide him to where he can make his own choices without regret

Lots of love for you here, NB

crossy give nb a big bear hug ((nb))

6:47 pm

Riverdance

OH NB - the old customs just suck - they will realize someday what they have missed - a wonderful child

6:48 pm

Nancy Boy

((((hugs back)))) thanks, all. sorry to monopolise chat - just felt I had to spill it :/

6:48 pm

stidmama

Well Nancy Boy, you are only a little older than my own kids, so you are still welcome here. AND it may be that at some point you will want to resurrect yourself in Korea. Not everyone, even in the old places, is bigoted.

6:48 pm

periwinkle

np, NB anytime

6:49 pm

stidmama

It's okay kiddo! You talk all you need and want. That's why we are he4. Well, that and the grid... *sheepish mama look*

6:49 pm

Riverdance

you spill whenever you want, we will be there for you ((hugs))

6:50 pm

crosshair

what really bugs me is i am sitting in a coutry where no one bats an eye about this,you can marry,get full govt paperwork and govt benifits.hell if you lived here and you adoped a newborn ,one of yyou would be entitled to materity leave..all so pointless the old biases

6:50 pm

crosshair

country

6:50 pm

Riverdance

yes I know, off to the pb - I can still support NB from there

6:51 pm

crosshair

remeber nb,you are the age of a lot of our children,so we will coddle a bit lol

6:51 pm

Riverdance

NB, join me in the PB with cocktails - Mom wants to talk and hug of course

6:51 pm

Nancy Boy

the strange this is, it's not really a religion thing - my family are buddhist, which has very little against being gay. It's the culture itself, I guess

6:51 pm

Nancy Boy

it's okay, I can deal with some coddling ;)

6:51 pm

stidmama

I know cross! I am considering (after I am done with school...) getting a divorce here in the U.S. and then going up to Canada for getting married. And then coming back and insisting they also accept the marriages of the family members who have gone to Canada to get married because they can't in the states.

6:51 pm

lynxxx

It's a sometimes difficult path you have chosen NancyBoy but there is a lot of happiness there. I hope that someday your family will come to accept it and you can have a relationship again

6:51 pm

Nancy Boy

no, thank you all - just needed to see some friendly adults, perhaps!

6:52 pm

crosshair

mmm interesting indeed stidmama

6:52 pm

Riverdance

there are some people that cannot recognize that or appreciate peoples choices - we cant change them

6:52 pm

stidmama

I don't think it's the culture so much as the stick-in-the-mud, afraid-of-difference, stupidheads

6:53 pm

periwinkle

I need help with ne5/10 pls, hate to break into this chat

6:53 pm

crosshair

never be afraid of change,just choose what you want and leave the rest;)

6:54 pm

stidmama

But also Nancy Boy, don't live your life according to ANYONE else's "shoulds." Be true to yourself, be ready to make mistakes (you will) and be ready to be happy (it happens)

6:54 pm

lynxxx

ne5 ne & it takes all so***

6:54 pm

Riverdance

some people just cant change from what they were brought up in - I told my parents I was getting a divorce 26 years ago. My Mom blew her top blaming me, how could I. But the times and their beliefs wouldnt allow it. It took a long time for us to reconcile but we did. The old countries are that much harder

6:54 pm

welki

count me in as a canadian auntie, nb ... between crossy and me, you can't go wrong ... and with ALL the other "relatives" you have here, surrogate mothers, sisters, grannies, i think you'd feel welcome where ever you land

6:55 pm

periwinkle

ty lyn but don't get your clue

6:55 pm

Riverdance

you need to be true to you NB no matter what

6:56 pm

lynxxx

Peri - NB has all so*** of friends here

6:56 pm

Riverdance

and dont forget, Leo is there for you - thats what counts

6:56 pm

welki

uhm crossy? never be afraid of change? tall order. change IS frightening. but just because it sometimes scares the bejeezus out of you doesn't mean you shouldn't embrace the change ... know what i mean?

6:56 pm

stidmama

oh! it's a babblet peri, ne + any po** in a storm + plural letter

6:56 pm

Nancy Boy

well thank you, all :) Mom - that is so sad; glad to hear you have reconciled, though!

6:59 pm

Riverdance

6:59 pm

stidmama

Nancy Boy, it's NOT the same to have non-biological friends step in when parents are stupid, but... for what it's worth, we're here. ((more hugs))

*poof*

6:59 pm

7:02 pm

welki

7:03 pm

7:03 pm

gramma

ne7? please.

7:03 pm

Nancy Boy

thank you! My friend Shaz works as a photographer and that was taken in her studio. I hasten to add that the bright pink mobile phone isn't mine..

redturtlehead

curious, if anyone has any tips for making toenail car of dogs less stressful for them and me. teulu is not enjoying.

7:12 pm

periwinkle

toenail car? guess you meant toenail care :-)

7:12 pm

welki

ask someone over to take his attention away from it, red .. we have the same problem with our dogs. the basset hounds would lay down and let us dremel tool their nails. now, the border collie and golden have us thinking we're torturing them. no filing allowed, freaks them out. and last time, my other half nipped a vein .. messy

7:13 pm

redturtlehead

Welki, its usually me, the last time I had him sedated and had them do a big cut at the vet, but it seems to have traumatized him more, they really cut them shorter than I thought necessary...now he gets snarly, which is totally unlike him, or he cries and shakes all over.

7:13 pm

welki

take tiny bits off, if you must do it yourself ... a tiny bit, a tiny cookie ... a tiny bit, a tiny cookie (or big "good boy," if that works). might take longer, but you'll get it done eventually

7:14 pm

redturtlehead

I probably should use like cut up hot dogs.

7:14 pm

welki

ohhh, i hate when they cut the nails too short. not good for them, either

7:14 pm

redturtlehead

Its was extreme.

7:14 pm

welki

awww red, i wish you were closer

7:14 pm

redturtlehead

It is my fault, for not handling his feet all the time when he was young.

7:15 pm

redturtlehead

I spent about 30 minutes today trimming with a large human clipper, he did sort of ok until the end.

7:15 pm

welki

i think you need to make the treat specific to the job .. maybe it will perk him up if he realizes the only time he gets (for instance) hot dogs is when he lets you trim his nails

7:16 pm

redturtlehead

yes, thats a good idea welki. need to figure out what he likes a lot, maybe some salty ham.

7:16 pm

welki

we handled baxter's feet (murray is a rescue) ... i think some dogs are just more sensitive than others (or maybe it's a golden thing .. what's ruru say?)

7:16 pm

Riverdance

I have two black labs and have never cut their nails. We live in the country so they go for many walks in the woods - the rough surface keeps their nail at the right length

7:17 pm

redturtlehead

well, we dont live in the woods. he needs to have nails trimmed here.

7:17 pm

welki

*packing up to move to mom's place* you in, red?

7:17 pm

redturtlehead

you know I can not live anywhere where it snows!!!!!!!! ;)

7:18 pm

7:25 pm

"Engineered to roll naturally, the rocker outsole induces a normal walking motion while naturally toning leg muscles. It also benefits users by promoting a perfect posture, reducing stress on muscles, joints and back, giving you energy all day long.

An anatomically correct patented interlocking footbed system with arch support that is loaded with latex, memory foam and cork to create a "perfect fit" every time by forming to the natural contours of the foot, giving each user their own customized fit. Footbed is removable and available in medium and wide widths." (no narrows :(

9:37 pm

CadFan

This little penny is to wish on
And make your wishes come true
This little penny is to dream on
Dream of all you can do
This little penny is a dancing penny
See how it glitters and it glows
Bright as a whistle
Light as a thistle
Quick, quick as a wink
Up on it's twinkling toes
This little penny is to laugh on
To see that tears never fall
This this little penny
Is the last little penny
And the most important of all
For this penny is to love on
And where love is, heaven is there
So with just five pennies, if they're these five pennies
You'll be a millionaire
For this penny is to love on
And where love is, heaven is there
So with just five pennies, if they're these five pennies
You'll be a millionaire

9:42 pm

pippingeek

i'm convinced the only reason they haven't yet come out with a biopic about kaye (cause he's amazing and they should) is because no current actor could do him justice

incredible to think that landmarks like Opryland Hotel will be closed for 6 months and the symphony hall until September

10:23 pm

hootowl

Now I can stop worrying.

10:23 pm

Uneaixoise

:-D

10:23 pm

hootowl

I shudder to think of the mold!

10:23 pm

Uneaixoise

oh, i know . . . ugh

10:25 pm

hootowl

Haven't kept up with the news; is Nasville getting gov help?

10:25 pm

hootowl

Nashville

10:25 pm

Uneaixoise

yep . . . declared a federal disaster area -- lots of instructions being posted on a gazillion websites about how to apply for FEMA aid

10:26 pm

hootowl

Well that should help. But you know there will be people who manage to NOT find the info.

10:26 pm

Uneaixoise

needless to say, no one has flood insurance

10:27 pm

Uneaixoise

they've even got volunteers with laptops in all the shelters who're applying on behalf of those who need help (esp elderly -- many of those)

10:28 pm

hootowl

why should you? If it hasn't flooded since who-knows-when, it never occurs to anyone. And I'll bet the people with homeowners will be denied help for some reason.

10:29 pm

Uneaixoise

no doubt

10:29 pm

hootowl

That's a good idea. Hooray for volunteers and laptops!

10:29 pm

Uneaixoise

the number of volunteers out there doing everything imaginable is truly heroic

10:30 pm

hootowl

I think whoever got the idea should get a medal or something. It's a brilliant idea!

10:31 pm

Uneaixoise

necessity as mother of invention, eh?

10:31 pm

hootowl

yep

10:33 pm

Uneaixoise

re7/28 please?

10:34 pm

hootowl

it's a plural

10:34 pm

gwenski

I have an re7/28 that's a plural.

10:34 pm

Uneaixoise

hey, gwen, thanks

10:35 pm

gwenski

Welcome

10:36 pm

hootowl

I was going to ask if you were doing the grid but my mind is wandering...

10:37 pm

hootowl

sorry gwen - hi - it's been a while since I've seen you

10:38 pm

gwenski

I don't get to play very often.

10:39 pm

hootowl

I only get stopped by thunderstorms and vacations.

10:40 pm

gwenski

I had a special reason to get on tonight -- the twin grandbabies were born last night! A bit early, but doing well.

10:40 pm

hootowl

well congrats grandma! Best wishes to the new mother too

10:41 pm

gwenski

Thanks! I'll have to replace the ultrasound picture when I get a nice new picture of them.

10:41 pm

Uneaixoise

congrats, gwen!!

10:42 pm

hootowl

I wondered what your icon was...

10:42 pm

gwenski

Thanks. Now the next thing is to figure out when we're going to get to see them! (By car, we live ~20 hours away.)

10:43 pm

godthaab

Uneaixoise, what is your degree in?

10:43 pm

hootowl

Is there a train maybe?

10:44 pm

Uneaixoise

it's my daughter -- her second master's -- this time in Library Science and Information Systems

10:44 pm

godthaab

Very Excellent!

10:44 pm

gwenski

NC to TX?? I suppose. But we have been boarding one of their dogs, so we'll need to make the trip to return her to them.

10:44 pm

Uneaixoise

indeed! :-)

10:46 pm

hootowl

well in that case I's wait a while. Let them sattle into a twin routine first and then bring the dog to mix them all up again.:D

10:47 pm

hootowl

my typing has gone south! It's - settle

10:47 pm

gwenski

We think the twins will spend 3 weeks in the hospital.

10:48 pm

hootowl

Isn't that a long time for healthy, good weight baby's?

10:49 pm

gwenski

Well, they were born at 32 weeks and a few days. Sometimes they like to keep them thru the original due date.

10:49 pm

Bugsaw

DO they have names gwen?

10:50 pm

hootowl

Sounds like a great way for them to make more money. Healthier to take them home. They can get sick IN the hospital

10:50 pm

gwenski

Yep. Khloe Reese & Joah Scott.

10:51 pm

hootowl

interesting names

10:51 pm

gwenski

The middle names are nods to both sides of the family.

10:51 pm

hootowl

I like them

10:52 pm

Bugsaw

Joah or Jonah?

10:52 pm

hootowl

Une - do you still need help?

10:52 pm

gwenski

Joah. (Like Noah, but with a J)

10:53 pm

gwenski

I'd never hear of that name before. But I found it later in an on-line list. Definition was something like friend of God.

10:53 pm

Bugsaw

Never heard it before nut I like Noah. Joah sounds neat!

10:53 pm

Uneaixoise

slogging along . . . thanks, hoot . . . 11 to go

10:54 pm

hootowl

yeah - different without being silly

10:54 pm

gwenski

I expected them to have less-common names, since their mom has a very common name (Amanda). She always had several girls in school classroom with the same name, and some even shared her middle name.

10:54 pm

hootowl

well ask if you need help

10:55 pm

Uneaixoise

thanks

10:56 pm

gwenski

Well, I'm not done with the puzzle, but I'm done for the night. Bye!

10:56 pm

hootowl

That's interesting gwen. I knew a girl named Amanda when I was in high scholl but never since. We are talking 50 years

10:56 pm

Uneaixoise

bye, gwen :-)
