12:13 am

Hello stid...hoping all is well with you and the stidkids

12:15 am

stidmama

all is.... okay. I am having a difficult week again, and actually TEACHING teaching tomorrow (instead of practice stuff with other grad students) and very very nervous I will make a big mistake -- the regular teacher who mentors me will not be there and I don't know the substitute.

12:16 am

stidmama

otherwise. yes, all is good!

12:16 am

SamanthaJoy

I'm popping over to ironsudoku and then off to bed. G'night all.

12:20 am

stidmama

and that is NBT for me. Must check wardrobe... and go wash hair (so it's dry by morning). And put everything in the car. And ... *sigh* it's like opening night in the theater, trying to remember all the details and knowing I will forget the first words!

12:20 am

cybernan

12:20 am

Pinikula

12:21 am

gremlinn

ai5 with only one consonant, nan

12:21 am

Pinikula

no, stid...same one...

12:21 am

stidmama

I don't think so, Jill. I am having a (now predictably) horrid week and hating my grad program and thinking I am a total failure.

12:21 am

stidmama

other than that, jill, all is well! *bright happy mama smile*

12:21 am

Pinikula

hope your week ends well, stid!

12:21 am

12:23 am

Pinikula

Not sure we can do anything at this point (I forwarded my response to you, too)...other than that...keep in touch and keep encouraging? :)

12:29 am

cybernan

other than labour day that is

12:29 am

stidmama

that will be grand, pini! I can hardly wait.

12:29 am

Pinikula

Pinikula

12:30 am

stidmama

12:30 am

stidmama

*Poof*

12:30 am

Douglas

Douglas

12:33 am

Pinikula

12:33 am

Douglas

12:33 am

Pinikula

12:34 am

gortmold

12:36 am

12:37 am

gortmold

that's right, breathe in love, breathe out clues

12:37 am

gortmold

bye nan

12:37 am

Douglas

I regret to inform Babble that I was not one of the winners in the St. Paul Sidewalk Poetry Contest

12:38 am

gortmold

is that because the adjudicators were illiterate and in the pay of St Anthony?

12:38 am

Douglas

The five winners got $150, and get their poems stamped into the sidewalk when a new block of sidewalk is needed

12:39 am

Douglas

One of the judges was Carol Connolly, Poet Laureate of St. Paul. That tells you something about St. Paul right there, that it has a Poet Laureate.

12:39 am

anike

52 to go but struggling now

12:40 am

gortmold

wow, doug, i've never met anyone, town or burrough who has their own poet laureate

12:41 am

Douglas

There are a number of states in the US that have Poet Laureates (or is that Poets Laureate?) Robert Bly is Minnesota's Poet Laureate, f'rinstance

12:42 am

gortmold

so did you pour your heart out onto the pavement, only to have it rejected by rhyming elitists?

12:43 am

gremlinn

It's unfair, but don't despair.

12:44 am

Douglas

Well, for the purposes of the contest, I only had to email it in...here's what I wrote, cuz you know I'm just dying to tell you...

There is a place
A place I love
Where streets are paved with poetry
And named for feelings felt while reading
Verses in concrete

Encouragement
Resolution
Are crossing Thank You Avenue
Poems surprising, harmonising
Make my joy complete

12:44 am

gortmold

my country would give you a knighthood, if you could only think of one word, just one, to rhyme with beer (we've wracked our beer-addled brains and come up blank)

12:46 am

VolleymomDee

firworks

12:47 am

VolleymomDee

12:48 am

VolleymomDee

12:48 am

jillibus

very nice indeed, douglas :)

12:48 am

gortmold

voll, is there anything bigger than a 4 from the top right d?

12:49 am

Douglas

Thanks, gort...they didn't give me any feedback, so I'm just going to have to enjoy my poem in my own company...haven't seen the winners yet

12:49 am

jillibus

to rhyme with beer? Cheer, sincere, fear, queer....and on and on!

12:49 am

Douglas

There is a di6, gort

12:49 am

VolleymomDee

12:49 am

12:50 am

jillibus

12:50 am

Douglas

Part of a Midnight Oil album title...Peter Garrett's having a bit of a bother with the houses burning down, isn't he?

12:50 am

gortmold

thanks doug, got it

12:51 am

gortmold

12:51 am

VolleymomDee

12:51 am

gortmold

jillibus

12:52 am

gortmold

have our sizzling ceilings made American news?

12:53 am

Douglas

No, I'm getting my Oz news from Tim Blair's blog

12:53 am

jillibus

not here, gort -- what's happened?

12:54 am

gortmold

Jilli, Peter Garret, beloved lead singer of Midnight Oil and environmental/social activist, left the gig to become a politician...

12:54 am

gortmold

in charge of gov scheme to refund people for insulation...

12:55 am

jillibus

what has that to do with sizzling ceilings, gort?

12:55 am

gortmold

insulation installed badly, in some instances by kids, houses caught alight, people died

12:55 am

jillibus

ah, maybe I see...

12:55 am

Douglas

he's getting to it, jilli

12:55 am

jillibus

now I do see!

12:56 am

gortmold

Garret's famous song about ignoring abuse of aborigines "how can we sleep when our beds are burning" now a national joke

12:56 am

jillibus

Oh dear!

12:57 am

gortmold

and garret kicked out of office. it sucks because i think he was well intentioned, plus no one else could wiggle enigmatically like he could

12:57 am

gortmold

who's tim blair?

12:59 am

Douglas

He blogs at the Daily Telegraph, has won best weblog awards for Austrailia/NZ a number of times...(and it doesn't hurt that he's linked to my blog a couple of times)

12:59 am

Douglas

*Australia*

12:59 am

gortmold

now that i've depressed you with oz politics, gotta go

1:00 am

jillibus

1:00 am

Douglas

Douglas

G'day, gort

1:05 am

jillibus

well done!

1:05 am

sprite

morning all

1:06 am

rururocks

hi sprite..

1:06 am

jillibus

Hi sprite :)

1:06 am

rururocks

just found the al 7/8 after a zillion years

1:06 am

sprite

hey ruru, how are you?

1:06 am

jillibus

hello ruru

1:06 am

sprite

hey jilli :)

1:06 am

rururocks

sore...

1:06 am

rururocks

hi jilli

1:06 am

sprite

what made you sore, dear?

1:07 am

rururocks

took a tumble on the sidewalk

1:07 am

sprite

awwww :(
I will give you a virtual hug then, so it won't hurt. Heal up soon!

1:08 am

jillibus

ru, did you get your shoulder checked mediclly?

1:09 am

jillibus

*medically

1:09 am

rururocks

thinking about it..

1:09 am

sprite

no harm there, ruru. Have it checked out. Better safe than sorry and all that...

1:09 am

rururocks

if it doesn't improve I will.. that will likely be a MRI and costly other measures

1:10 am

jillibus

maybe just an X-ray?

1:10 am

sprite

doesn't your insurance cover that?

1:10 am

rururocks

<<< ------ hates xrays

1:10 am

jillibus

sprite -- easy for us to say, when we have universal medical care ;)

1:11 am

jillibus

why, ruru?

1:11 am

sprite

yes, indeed, I am just being astonished. Things like this shouldn't depend on how much money one has.

1:11 am

rururocks

just don't believe in doing them often jilli.. not good for prolonged health.

1:11 am

sprite

I hate MRI's much more.

1:12 am

jillibus

But they should be done when necessary, ruru. MRIs are worse.

1:12 am

rururocks

I do have medical insurance.. but this would also cost me a fair amount and most likely increase my rates

1:13 am

jillibus

Shocking.

1:13 am

rururocks

(plus it gets me out of vaccuuming)..lol

1:13 am

jillibus

I hope you can get a comfortable sleep.

1:14 am

rururocks

not really..

1:14 am

sprite

all the best, ruru

1:14 am

rururocks

thank you both

1:14 am

jillibus

lots of Tylenol?

1:14 am

sprite

jilli, good writeup :)
And I almost picked the same icon!

1:15 am

jillibus

Great minds, sprite! I like yours, and the writeup is interesting.

1:15 am

rururocks

tylenol doesn't do much for me.. I am taking advil

1:16 am

jillibus

that al 7/8 is driving me up the wall -- can't find the right endings

1:16 am

sprite

thanks :)

1:16 am

jillibus

ah, that's good, ruru

1:16 am

rururocks

et + some vowells jilli

1:17 am

dizgrannie

jilli, same ending as tr 7/8

1:17 am

jillibus

I had the et -- do the added vowels make real words?

1:18 am

rururocks

we've had it before .. use the double vowell

1:18 am

sprite

et? You guys having a different grid?

1:18 am

rururocks

al 5 = ET.. phone home...

1:18 am

jillibus

got it -- hadn't seen it before

1:18 am

dizgrannie

sprite, et means al 5 10...as in phone home.LOL

1:18 am

sprite

ohhhhh that et, lolllll. Ok, with you again, and already had the al words, I realise now.

1:19 am

sprite

someone estranged, I think?

1:19 am

rururocks

ET works for Verizon nowadays

1:20 am

rururocks

yes sprite .. like TIger woods

1:20 am

sprite

lol dizgrannie, thanks, I was all confused for a moment

1:21 am

jillibus

Legal term, says the ? -- a person to whom property is al5ated.

1:21 am

sprite

ok, the victim of theft. Will remember!

1:22 am

anike

fireworks

1:22 am

sprite

gratz

1:22 am

jillibus

YAY anike!!!

1:23 am

jillibus

I don't know, sprite -- the al5ated is probably also a legal term meaning something else.

1:23 am

sprite

but for a babble clue it will do

1:24 am

anike

TY jill. I'm off. happy babbling

1:25 am

jillibus

I just looked it up -- can mean 'transferred' (legally).

1:25 am

rururocks

if someone could guide me towards the large ol words I would be grateful

1:25 am

sprite

interesting. Thanks jilli.

1:25 am

sprite

greasy words, ruru

1:26 am

sprite

ol + vowel + not out + vowel

1:27 am

rururocks

thank you sprite..driving me mad those

1:27 am

sprite

lol I bet! This vowel combination is a normal one in Dutch, so for me they are a little easier to spot.

1:28 am

sprite

(in stark contrast with K words...)

1:28 am

jillibus

K words are hard anyway

1:29 am

sprite

they are!

1:30 am

sprite

I so want fractoid to be valid. Douglas Adams already wrote about a hyperintelligent shade of blue... can't a fractoid be a kind of ET?

1:30 am

rururocks

really slowing down now

1:31 am

rururocks

yes sprite.. and closely related to cartoid

1:31 am

jillibus

oh, it should be a word -- lovely!

1:31 am

sprite

see? Enable is decades behind the world. At least we know our ETs!

1:32 am

helensgirlkid

And then there's loid - as in I loided the lock easily.

1:32 am

jillibus

definitely, helen

1:33 am

sprite

so true, helen.

1:34 am

helensgirlkid

Dr God's dictionarist just doesn't read hard-boiled tec books!

1:34 am

sprite

I am willing to go out on a limb here and say Mr. Enable doesn't read. Period.

1:35 am

helensgirlkid

Point taken.

1:35 am

sprite

:)

1:35 am

jillibus

I was just going to say that a sl5 sounds like a slimy al5, but it's a real word! Good ting I tried it first, lol!

1:35 am

helensgirlkid

79 left, but my eyes is drooping- luck all. G'night.

1:36 am

sprite

sleep well helen

1:36 am

helensgirlkid

slien

1:36 am

sprite

ohhhh good one!

1:36 am

sprite

no the lock word, helen

1:38 am

jillibus

It's 'a system of manual training based on experience gained in woodworking, originally developed in Sweden.'

1:38 am

rururocks

heading to bed.. so nice to see you sprite.. and always you jilli

1:38 am

jillibus

usually contains the sometime vowel or a j

1:38 am

sprite

okay. Makes sense.

1:39 am

sprite

ruru, likewise. I hope you can sleep and that you will heal up fast. All the best to you.

1:39 am

jillibus

xx ruru, may the advil work well.

1:41 am

rururocks

don't forget the japanese immigrant word jilli

1:41 am

rururocks

*poof*

1:41 am

sprite

1:42 am

jillibus

1:42 am

sprite

and the garlic dip word

1:42 am

sprite

words even

1:42 am

jillibus

got that a while ago, slurp

1:43 am

jillibus

those two too

1:43 am

sprite

haven't even yet had breakfast and just the thought of it makes my mouth water.

1:44 am

jillibus

I don't think I'd want it for breakfast

1:44 am

sprite

not sure my stomach would like it, but my tongue sure would!

1:46 am

sprite

ok... now why not the -oid ending after the bug word!

1:48 am

jillibus

what does the bug start with?

1:48 am

sprite

in, jilli

1:49 am

jillibus

oh, of course, lol! and yes, there should be!

1:49 am

sprite

:D

1:51 am

sprite

I like it that I spot the babblets even faster now, after the themes. It was really fun! Yes, the goose and also the tape worms.

jillibus

I'm getting better at making up words and having them work

1:59 am

SmallChild

indeeds

1:59 am

sprite

I am pretty good at making up words. But usually they don't work :)
Hello SmallChild

1:59 am

SmallChild

ta 5/12 was a total guess because I got grumpy with the letters

2:00 am

SmallChild

lol <3 and hai

2:00 am

jillibus

hello small

2:01 am

sprite

gosh I hate it when my last C is the italian greeting. Why can't I spot that word?

2:02 am

SmallChild

hai jilli ^_^

2:02 am

jillibus

thanks for that too -- I never see it either

2:02 am

sprite

glad I am not alone in that

2:02 am

jillibus

Oh whee! No re words!

2:03 am

sprite

no, only un- words, grin

2:03 am

SmallChild

or oo- hate those -_-

2:04 am

sprite

the oo- words are just a select few. But un- and re- are both endless and random.

2:04 am

SmallChild

I don't have a dictionary to scrounge for oo- words and I know none =(

2:05 am

jillibus

one that shows up here a lot is oorie (not here now)

2:05 am

sprite

if you want, you can always check out morewords or a2z

2:06 am

jillibus

small -- www.morewords.com helps

2:06 am

SmallChild

yeah, I remember that one from last night

2:06 am

sprite

and I prefer www.a2zwordfinder.com

2:06 am

SmallChild

someone typed the definition and I just pasted it into google with quotes around it =P

2:06 am

sprite

and oocyte(s)

2:06 am

SmallChild

2:11 am

2:11 am

jillibus

no, for shame! You started long after I did, you speedster!

2:11 am

SmallChild

dankes

2:11 am

sprite

SmallChild, it is always ok to ask how many words. Upgrading is worth the price, but as long as you can't, people here will gladly tell you the number of words.

2:12 am

SmallChild

<3

2:12 am

sprite

jilli, if I grow up, and I manage to be as smart and active as you, I will be so proud. No shame!

2:13 am

Oh stop, sprite *glows*

Ok, if nobody needs clues, I must be off. Have a lovely night and a great day, all of you. *hugs*

herinfernallady

Hi DC

8:11 am

herinfernallady

I know. 2 weeks time awards given

8:12 am

sandyloo

I have been to the states dc, we drove from Florida to the Pochonos - it was may and there wasn't a leaf on any tree - On the way back the apple blossoms were coming out in Washington- I thought that was soo beautiful

8:13 am

dcseain

here around DC, the trees are full green by end of April each year.

8:13 am

sandyloo

Are you getting an award? I'll bet you are!

8:13 am

8:14 am

sandyloo

Our temps are about 24 c in the day and sunny but about 6c at night

8:15 am

dc, we have mostly evergreens here with a few deciduous trees- our climate is similar to California and the meditteranean

8:15 am

sandyloo

Winters are mild and summers are hot

8:16 am

sandyloo

We have wonderful beaches and a very out door lifestyle

8:16 am

dcseain

we have mild winters - usually - and hot summers, but we're mostly deciduous and decidely not like CA nor the Mediterranean. Sounds very nice there, sandy

8:17 am

sandyloo

sounds nice there too dc, I do love Australia but I don't like the summer, it is too hot in the day

8:17 am

sandyloo

I would like to live in Tasmania, the cheese is great, the wine crisp and the history is really interesting

my body is definitely different from the one i learned how to dress growing up, but i think i do a pretty darn good job of it. ;)

8:58 am

sandyloo

going to look Herin

8:59 am

dcseain

i agree, eva, having review the pictures

8:59 am

herinfernallady

Eva if we all stayed the same shape we would be borring. I think women need to embrace their lumps and bumps and accept that is the way nature made as and BOO to crappy clothes companies that say otherwise

9:00 am

EvaNadine

im not a skinny-minny, and i dont have an endless budget (especially not this year, planning the wedding!) but i think i manage to find good bargains, for the most part know what looks good on me, and im fairly creative...

9:01 am

herinfernallady

Eva you are stunning

9:01 am

EvaNadine

::blushes::
oh, my -- thankyou!

9:02 am

sandyloo

Eva I think you do a great job - but I don't believe for one minute that you dont have an endless budget- lol

9:03 am

EvaNadine

sandy -- believe it or not, i have gotten several of those pieces (and about half of my shoe wardrobe) at Goodwill!
im lucky to live in a wealthier area, so the stuff at goodwill is higher end than where i used to live!

9:03 am

herinfernallady

Honestly I think that most guys I have spoken to like a woman that is confident in her skin. Be it small or big. ANd most guys I know like curves

9:04 am

dcseain

Goodwill has some great stuff around here. we furnished one house entirely from there.

9:04 am

sandyloo

same here , herin - my husband hates skinny girls- I too think men like confidence in women

9:04 am

herinfernallady

Sandy did you see the food pics

9:04 am

EvaNadine

then i shop at discount stores and sale racks. i am SUPER cheap.
my mom always laughed whenever we would shop together because i would walk straight through a store to the back where the sale racks are -- i wasnt even interested in paying full price.

9:05 am

EvaNadine

i agree, herin.
my fiance + i dated back in college, when i was MUCH thinner. after we reconnected, he told me that he much prefers the curvy me to the super-thin me.

9:05 am

sandyloo

yes I did!!! Just the sort of things I buy!! I had a laugh when I saw them - I know just what you are about

9:06 am

herinfernallady

AWWWWWWWWWW see you two were meant to be together.

9:06 am

sandyloo

When I come to Melbourne Herin , I hope you will let me take you out to lunch

9:06 am

Judi

Eva - if you are looking for household goods for the marital nest, see if there is a Habitat for Humanity surplus store near you. Here's the link: http://www.habitat.org/env/restores.as
px

9:07 am

EvaNadine

we really were, herin. we dated for about 6 months in college, then didnt speak for about 8 years. then he found me on the internet and basically told me i was the one who got away.
and its all history from there. ;)

9:07 am

Judi

Sigh. How romantic, Eva.

9:08 am

herinfernallady

Sandy sure thing.

9:08 am

herinfernallady

(ok Eva dead from cute now )

9:08 am

sandyloo

My son is over there at the moment , I think I will have to check up on him before too long

9:08 am

Judi

lol, Herin. Yes, we've all melted into a big puddle of love.

9:09 am

EvaNadine

hah, dont worry herin, we are FAR from perfect + still fight likr normal people. i just have to remind him that im the perfect gal for him, and he needs to defer to whatever i want. ;)

9:10 am

herinfernallady

Ok I have one up on you an that then We don't fight :P

9:11 am

EvaNadine

judi -- looks like there is one just a few miles from where we live!
we arent yet homeowners, though, so home-furnishing wont be happening any time soon... but i will keep that in mind -- i didnt know that existed!

9:14 am

Judi

I just discovered it myself, Eva. Apparently, they have everything from paint to building supplies to bathroom fixtures, etc. etc. All at ridiculously discounted prices. Plus, all money from sales goes back into Habitat for Humanity. It's a win-win.

before I go out to the wide wide world, anyone like a clue?

9:34 am

rururocks

yes.. who killed colonel mustard?

9:34 am

Anniebrook

Is that from Clue?

9:35 am

Anniebrook

Was it Frank?

9:35 am

rururocks

yes..lol

9:36 am

Anniebrook

I should get that game for my grandkids...ages 9 and 11..is it suitable for that age?

9:37 am

Uniquity

I play with my bros of similar age ranges and they like it, but stink at strategy so they get a little frustrated. But Clue is a big thing for my family! ((Hi Annie!!))

9:37 am

Anniebrook

(((Uniquity))) Hello dear girl. Then I will get it for them.

9:38 am

Boobear

hi ruru

9:38 am

Anniebrook

ruru, How is Dylan?

9:38 am

EvaNadine

i have and love the game Clue, but no one ever wants to play it with me. lol

9:39 am

Uniquity

If you're good at Clue, no-one will play. It's annoying. Amazing how many strategies one can have though!

9:39 am

Anniebrook

I see we have a lot of Cluers here. Must be a very good board game.

9:40 am

Anniebrook

or is it Cluists?

9:40 am

Judi

I kind of thought Clue was boring at that age. Maybe the game of Life? Do they still make that?

9:40 am

Uniquity

Just try to get regular or original. They've got new fancy versions that get more complicated. But I guess kids might like that more? I like tradition too much, sometimes. I loathe the monopoly where it does the money for you. Being banker is the best!

9:41 am

Uniquity

Life is still kicking, Judi. The game, that is.

9:41 am

Anniebrook

I always liked being the banker in Monopoly

9:41 am

Riverdance

my kids loved life and still do as teenagers

9:41 am

Judi

Mystery Date is good for girls.

9:41 am

Anniebrook

Adding Life to the list.

9:42 am

Anniebrook

They are both boys.

9:42 am

Judi

Popping off for a bit. BBL.

9:42 am

Boobear

I loved playing the game Operation when I was a child

9:43 am

Uniquity

Oh! Stratego! It's a one on one strategy game that my 10 year old bro. loves and kicks butt at.

9:43 am

Anniebrook

later, Judi

9:43 am

Anniebrook

they have Operation and love it

9:43 am

Anniebrook

adding Stratego

9:43 am

Riverdance

my son likes battleship

9:43 am

Boobear

that was fun too

9:44 am

Anniebrook

battleship on the list...

9:44 am

sciencegeek

Taboo is loads of fun as well! And Apples to Apples

9:44 am

Uniquity

Aww, Battleship! Why am I spending so much time playing Babble when I could be playing board games? Oh wait, no-one I know will play them too.

9:44 am

Riverdance

toy store is going to love to see you coming Annie

9:45 am

Riverdance

teenage girls like apple to apples

9:45 am

Uniquity

Luckily lots of the classic board games seem to be way cheaper than modern ones.

9:45 am

Anniebrook

they are going away to camp this summer and I want to send something to them. Are board games okay to send to kids at camp?

9:46 am

Anniebrook

I really dont know. when I went to camp (ages and ages ago) we were not allowed to receive packages

9:46 am

Riverdance

thats OK - I sent smaller stuff when my kids went to camp

9:46 am

Riverdance

my kids couldnt wait for packages to come

9:46 am

Riverdance

the game boxes may get destroyed

9:46 am

Anniebrook

Momneed, What can I send them...ideas will be lovely

9:46 am

Uniquity

Pieces might get lost (as they always do), but I can't imagine it being a problem. You can ask the camp leaders though.

9:46 am

Anniebrook

and greatly appreciated

9:47 am

Boobear

how about uno card game

9:47 am

Anniebrook

deck of cards, yoyos. what else? baseball cards???

9:47 am

Anniebrook

adding uno to the list

9:48 am

Anniebrook

I think you are right, Uni, about pieces getting lost re: board games

9:48 am

Riverdance

boys are harder - smaller size football - foam kind with the tail, playing cards, paper airplanes, smal travel games - checkers, dice.

9:48 am

sciencegeek

TAboo is hilarious - only cards and the timer/buzzer

9:49 am

dcseain

in my life, i have yet to lose a single game piece. same goes for my sister.

9:49 am

Huh, in that case I can bring 7 more yes votes to the table.

i was thinking of doing some tactical voting - would that be all right, haz?

11:18 am

caitlyn

My deceased grandmother loved it does that count as a vote for it then?

11:19 am

Haz1558

It depends, just as long as we get the right result. NO to split pea!

i thought that if i voted yes to split peas, evben though i don't like them, i might at least get some lentils

11:19 am

Vicuna

ruru, you didn't add the 7 yes votes from my children, husband, parents, and brothers.

11:20 am

Haz1558

No, it's split pea soup in its entirety without undue emphasis on any one element.

11:20 am

rururocks

6.8 /4.2

11:20 am

Vicuna

Ooh, I love lentil soup, too, but my children would be noes on that one, I'm very sorry to say.

11:21 am

Haz1558

What percentage of a vote are animals allowed?

11:22 am

Vicuna

Cats don't count. Cats shouldn't be eating any kind of people soup whether they like it or not.

11:22 am

caitlyn

My hubby just called out that his parents and brother also loved it so that is another 4

11:22 am

rururocks

animals don't count.. but apparently dead people do

11:22 am

four of my grandcildren wouldn't even look at it, let alone eat it

11:23 am

I agree, ruru. You may be in the PB, but you're a martyr to the cause of uncovering Haz's perfidious voter fraud.

11:23 am

sammysmom

chuckie and sammie like my soup too, but then, they will eat anything we do includine iced tea, potato chips and pickles

11:24 am

Haz1558

The postman has just arrived and the election workers are reporting a heavy swing against plit pea soup.

11:24 am

guernseygirl

if my honourable friend says her neighbours dislike split pea soup, i don't think my other honourable friend should imply that she's being economical with the truth

11:24 am

bojazz

what is plit pea soup - something new?

11:24 am

caitlyn

Haz there will be questions asked in the house if you rig this vote

11:24 am

guernseygirl

it's what miners eat in the pits

11:25 am

rururocks

plits are hard to cook

11:25 am

Haz1558

Plit pea soup is not another food stuff, but a typo. I'm so shocked at the level of support for GREEN soup.

11:25 am

Vicuna

*starts throwing empty bowls at the honorable Haz*

11:25 am

bojazz

aaah

11:25 am

Vicuna

(considered throwing split pea soup, but didn't want to waste it)

11:25 am

bojazz

could always add catsup

11:26 am

guernseygirl

in that case my cat must be allowed a vote, bojazz

11:26 am

rururocks

no matter how haz desperately wants to boltster her position .. people love split pea soup

11:26 am

caitlyn

ruru plits may be hard to cook but have you ever tried catching one ?

11:26 am

bojazz

LOL

11:26 am

Vicuna

There is a long and noble history of green foods. It's the bright blue ones you want to avoid.

11:26 am

Some people love split pea soup - some.

11:26 am

bojazz

LOL

11:27 am

rururocks

the only way I know caitlyn is with bananas

11:27 am

Vicuna

Sensible people love split pea soup.

11:27 am

Haz1558

Others, who have better judgement and taste, do not.

11:27 am

add bananas to plit pea soup?

Nothing is slipperier than a plit on a banana peel.

ty, vic. that's what i'm doing right now

11:29 am

hootowl

I like split pea soup but must have hambone in it. So does my family and BF. We also all like lentils and what started this rediculous chat

11:29 am

bojazz

a grammarian?

11:29 am

Vicuna

You type very well for a floor-roller, guernseygirl!

11:29 am

guernseygirl

i've got long arms

11:29 am

Haz1558

It's all Vicuna's fault. She mentioned split pea soup.

11:30 am

caitlyn

LOL

11:30 am

sammysmom

yay, vicuna!!

11:30 am

caitlyn

hoot you are on our side

11:30 am

Vicuna

Hello, hootowl. It's all Haz's fault. I said I was getting some split pea soup for lunch, and she started abusing my excellent choice!

11:30 am

hootowl

all this from a mention???? You all must be finished!

11:30 am

bojazz

not even close

11:30 am

guernseygirl

nowhere near

11:31 am

Haz1558

The fault should always lie with the person who originally mentions anything. It's the law of England.

11:31 am

hootowl

I make mine with lots of other veggies and the bone. Tastes great

11:31 am

Vicuna

Finished? Well, I'm already finished with the soup that began it all! but not finished with the grid.

11:31 am

Vicuna

No, the law of England is that the fault always lies with FM.

11:31 am

hootowl

the lentils are vegetarian

11:31 am

Haz1558

I wonder what FM's position on split pea soup might be?

11:32 am

rururocks

she'd be for it

11:32 am

Vicuna

(Yes, mine has a hambone and some other veggies, hootowl.)

11:32 am

rururocks

she is civilised

11:32 am

caitlyn

And Ata would that girl has got taste

11:32 am

Vicuna

One's position should not be so much ON the soup, as seated politely in front of it, spoon poised.

11:33 am

Vicuna

No wonder you don't like it, Haz, if you insist on trying to eat while ON it.

11:33 am

Turns out Marigold likes it after all. She got a taste of Sammysmom's secret ingrediant.

11:36 am

Dorens

i love split pea soup.. specially with home made croutons!

11:36 am

guernseygirl

i just love it when the chog takes off into these totally surreal realms

11:36 am

Haz1558

Good grief! Another one!

11:36 am

Vicuna

Hello, Doren!

11:37 am

guernseygirl

to tell the truth, i'm quite partial to it as long as there's no ham involved

11:37 am

Haz1558

Hello, Dorens. (secretly wishing that Dorens could have added her vote to the no camp, we are losing..)

11:37 am

it can be way better than TV

11:37 am

guernseygirl

you're right, boj

11:38 am

bojazz

the pigs would agree, gg

11:38 am

Vicuna

Nothing like a good, silly chat to stretch the brain.

11:38 am

guernseygirl

too right, Vic and jazz

11:39 am

bojazz

Ok - back to work - a great day/evening to all of you

11:39 am

Haz1558

I know. The only problem is trying to convince your family that tears running down your cheeks with laughter while typing furiously isn't a sign that you've gone mad.

11:40 am

Vicuna

Goodbye, bojazz.

11:40 am

Haz1558

Bye, bojazz.

11:40 am

fortunately for me, i live on my own, so it's great to have a good laugh

It's only when I try to explain afterwards why it was so funny that I get the raised eyebrows.

11:42 am

Hate split pea soup

11:42 am

helensgirlkid

Just had a chance to catch up on a bit of the chat - must put in my vote!

11:42 am

now you tell us!

11:42 am

Vicuna

Hello, helensgirlkid!

11:42 am

Haz1558

I've always known you were a sensible woman, helens.

11:42 am

Haz1558

Ruru! Another one against!

11:43 am

periwinkle

the two other people I live with hate pea soup too!!

11:43 am

Haz1558

I should have kept a written tally, I'm going to have to scroll back to make sure of the figures.

11:43 am

Haz1558

Two more!

11:43 am

helensgirlkid

Though my mother once broke up about half a pound of crisp bacon into a bowl of it, and that made it edible, at least! (crossey would appreciate this, I'm sure.)

11:44 am

periwinkle

marigold is on her way home and she still does not like pea soup

11:44 am

Haz1558

See, if you have to put other stuff in to make it edible, that just shows, doesn't it? It shows.

11:44 am

Haz1558

Is she coming home specially to vote?

11:44 am

helensgirlkid

My children used to eat it with very still faces - I'm not sure what that meant, but it wasn't a vote of confidence!

11:45 am

Vicuna

Hmm, with Haz in charge of the tally we're going to find that it's mysteriously gone 582-6 against.

11:45 am

periwinkle

where is FM, I want to know her vote and stiddy too

11:45 am

guernseygirl

no chance of a split vote then

11:45 am

periwinkle

no she works half a day on Thurs

11:45 am

Vicuna

It's the peas that are supposed to be split, not the vote.

11:46 am

dcseain

i don't care for pea soup in general, though one restaurant in DC makes a lemony one i don't mind

11:46 am

helensgirlkid

Well, obviously any person who loves split pea soup who wishes to challenge the tally can comb through the chat themselves - very educational, too.

11:46 am

Haz1558

Good job we're following British tradition and voting on a Thursday.

11:46 am

guernseygirl

like haz, i'm a bit hung up on the technicalities of elections at the moment

11:46 am

helensgirlkid

Now you're splitting hairs, Vicuna!

11:46 am

Vicuna

Hello, dc.

11:46 am

Haz1558

You can't vote for one soup from one restaurant. It's the genre of pea soup. The totality of the awfulness.

11:47 am

Vicuna

I think we should have UN observers watching over this one.

11:47 am

helensgirlkid

FIREWORKS!

11:47 am

Haz1558

Hooray!

11:47 am

Vicuna

Yay for helensgirlkid! How do you find words in the midst of all this soup?

I've been fine - frozen with cold since this country thinks that eternal winter is a good idea, but otherwise grand.

11:53 am

EvaNadine

understandable -- weather here has been rather wonky lately, hasnt it, DC?

11:53 am

Haz1558

I made the mistake of changing over my winter for my summer wardrobe. Not very wise of me.

You are right Haz cant believe we are in the middle of May. Global warming? Bring it on I say!!!

11:54 am

se7 pls

11:54 am

Haz1558

I know. I got an oil delivery at the end of March and thought it would do me until the end of October. Not at this rate, it won't!

11:54 am

guernseygirl

however, i've just finished a book about the siege of Leningrad and now i feel much wwarmer

11:54 am

sammysmom

i start with 4 gallons of water- add the hambone with lots of meat on it-let it simmer for an hour or so- remove the bone and when it is cool enough to handle- trim the meat off and throw the meat in the pot.... add 2 lb split green peas....... while that is simmering, fix the veggies........... a whole head of garlic minced, then add a couple of pounds of onions chopped the way you like them, then add a bunch of celery chopped up, then a couple of pounds of carrots, then a couple of pounds of potatoes, all chopped the way you like -- let the whole thing simmer for another hour or so, and there you are.if it is not thick enough to suite you, let it simmer awhikle longer tilkl it evaporates or if you are in a hurry, you can add a small amount of instant mashed poratoes,( a great thickener for any soup) probably wont need much salt- but if you insist , go ahead... and the secret is that a cup of burgundy will add a little somtthing to almost any soup- (or roast or .....

11:54 am

Haz1558

se7 - compound word involving water and a means of transport.

11:55 am

6:13 pm

bojazz

hi Dorens - did youvote on the split pea soup earlier?

6:14 pm

bojazz

hi Mom

6:14 pm

Dorens

funny you should ask bo... i was on for about six minutes, but I did weigh in on the fact that I love it (particularly with homemade croutons)

6:15 pm

bojazz

aahh - i remember :)

6:15 pm

Dorens

but we are talking about homemade, not campbell's, yes?

6:15 pm

bojazz

definitely

6:16 pm

bojazz

eisle

6:16 pm

bojazz

ooooooops

6:16 pm

Dorens

don't know how anyone could possibly not vote yes! (not that i'm dogmatic or anything)

6:16 pm

Dorens

stick an n in that bo

6:16 pm

bojazz

lol

6:16 pm

Riverdance

pea soup - oh yuck - was there a vote - count me as a nay

6:17 pm

Dorens

home made, mom?

6:18 pm

hurshy

i vote yea, though at the moment i am eating wonton soup.

6:18 pm

Riverdance

i make it for my husband - ham bones baked and boiled - fresh veggies - and hold my nose through the whole experience - needless to say, he doesnt get pea soup often

6:18 pm

bojazz

ruru was keeping tabs, Mnh - tell him

6:18 pm

Riverdance

Now Wonton Soup is awesome

6:18 pm

Dorens

at the moment i would like to eat either, if someone had made it. i am wanting food and not wanting to cook. this is a problem.

6:19 pm

hurshy

that was me 45 mins ago, hence the chinese delivery.

6:19 pm

bojazz

lol

6:19 pm

Riverdance

we dont have ANY delivery where we live - oh, how I envy you

6:20 pm

Dorens

smart hurshy. i haven't ordered food for myself alone in years, literally. more likely to whip up an omelet. but i really don't want to do anything at all right now. not even go look for my purse to find the money to pay

6:20 pm

Riverdance

my supper tonight will be sloppy joes when son gets home from track

6:20 pm

hurshy

this is the first place i've lived that had pizza delivery - i think the second place where i've had chinese delivery.

6:20 pm

hurshy

i didn't order it for myself, i made my husband order it for both of us.

6:21 pm

Mom

Hi Bojazz

6:21 pm

Dorens

there you go then, hurshy,, husbands do come in handy sometimes

6:21 pm

Riverdance

when we lived in the city, we had no money for delivery, now that we live in the country, we have no delivery - go figure!

6:21 pm

bojazz

hi - time to go get pretty and try to catch this girl i've been anxious to see... :)

6:21 pm

Mom

6:21 pm

hurshy

6:22 pm

hurshy

6:22 pm

Riverdance

got leftovers - love leftovers

6:22 pm

Riverdance

brb - got to stir the sloppy joes

6:22 pm

Mom

there is one chicken breast left

6:23 pm

Mom

hope it works out Bojazz

6:24 pm

Riverdance

well - we have Mom (good Mom) serving protein, starch and veggie, then we have Mom (bad Mom -that would be me) serving sloppy joes - no starch no veggie

6:25 pm

Mom

my sweetie is seeing a nutritionist ... hence the supper

6:25 pm

Riverdance

featherbee

nick, aka percy, is in love with all things thomas lately. except, he has a slight speech issue, and is hard to understand. try to imagine what it sounds like when he says percy. now, imagine he's holding a percy fork, and saying "eat percy."

6:30 pm

featherbee

doug was cracking up so much he had to leave the room that night

6:30 pm

evanonut

hmmm....maybe you should spell it phonetically for me what he's saying

6:48 pm

Scrabbler

The nephew that lives with me has been rewatching the X-Files. As I was falling asleep last night I heard strange sounds + screams from his TV.

6:48 pm

featherbee

creepy scrabs

6:48 pm

evanonut

i grew up wanting to be scully

6:49 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, feather! At first I thought one of the rabbits was screaming in pain, then I realized it was the X-Files.

6:49 pm

featherbee

oh gosh!

6:49 pm

Scrabbler

Nut, I wanted to be Mrs Mulder.

6:50 pm

evanonut

ha ha ha...rabbits...and if i was scully, i would have had mulder at my disposal

6:51 pm

Scrabbler

Nice plan, Nut.

6:52 pm

evanonut

plus if i was scully, i'd be a hot looking red head. i wouldn't be dying my hair red.

6:52 pm

evanonut

which would mean i would have a shot at mulder

6:53 pm

Mom

**Gasp** that is not your natural color? :-)

6:53 pm

evanonut

ha ha ha ha

6:53 pm

evanonut

6:55 pm

Mom

6:55 pm

Dorens

you're lucky it turned brown, mom. mine stayed red till i was 53.. then started losing color... red doesn't turn grey, it just fades into nothingness (thanks for the leftovers)

6:55 pm

Dorens

i need three. and i am not finding them, so maybe i'll go make that omelet i've been thinking about

6:55 pm

Scrabbler

Scrabbler

Uh, oh, just got texted. BRB.

7:25 pm

kje

7:25 pm

featherbee

*pounce!*

7:26 pm

7:26 pm

featherbee

yay!!! good one, no?

7:27 pm

kje

interesting... i have mixed feelins

7:28 pm

featherbee

how so

7:28 pm

kje

well... the enitre show lacked any of the characters we like...

7:28 pm

featherbee

yeah, but it explained a lot

7:28 pm

kje

the stones meant nothing, and adam and even are uninteresting

7:29 pm

featherbee

bahh

7:29 pm

kje

but it was cool to see how the brothers got on the island, the start of the others, and how we got the smoke monster

7:29 pm

kje

still don't know the brother's name though.... jacob and ?

7:30 pm

featherbee

esau

7:30 pm

featherbee

which is apparently not a word in the grid, in case you wondered

7:30 pm

kje

it should be esau, but they never said that, did they?

7:30 pm

featherbee

hmm, no they didn't

7:31 pm

kje

i assumed it was jacob and esau from the start... once we knew they were brothers and one was jacob, but I don't think they ever said his name

7:31 pm

kje

which is interesting

7:31 pm

kje

35

7:31 pm

Bugsaw

Hi fellow LOST fans. So who do you think will be the candidate?

7:36 pm

featherbee

i'm $4 bucks away from the halfway point on my project

7:37 pm

featherbee

seems they're lining it up to be jack, but ugh. i'd rather it was hurley.

7:38 pm

stidmama

hello all!

7:38 pm

stidmama

hey all!

7:38 pm

featherbee

hi stid!

7:38 pm

Bugsaw

I like Hurley too because he has always been the one to see the big picture and care about people.

7:38 pm

stidmama

oops. slow connection. LOL

7:38 pm

Bugsaw

Great to see you stid.

7:38 pm

stidmama

BUGS!!! I TAUGHT TODAY!!!!!!

7:38 pm

stidmama

are you talkingabout LOST?

7:38 pm

featherbee

yay stid!!!!

7:39 pm

Bugsaw

I think it will be Jack tho becaue he is the one who is committed to staying.

7:39 pm

featherbee

yep, we are

7:39 pm

featherbee

we can stop

7:39 pm

stidmama

:-D I am proud of myself. The teacher whose class it is wasn't there, and I did it with a substitute instead!

7:39 pm

stidmama

I had a great time.

7:39 pm

Bugsaw

What did you teach today stid. Tell us all about it.

7:39 pm

stidmama

Oh, I don't watch the show, just wondered if that was where I knew those names from/

7:40 pm

featherbee

what grade?

7:40 pm

featherbee

bahhh, getting tired of the grid

7:40 pm

Bugsaw

My student call me Dude and it makes me feel like I look like Hurley.

7:40 pm

stidmama

LOL thanks Bugs. I asked the students to write a short descriptive passage, and so I did a micro (smaller than mini) lesson on what descriptive writing is about and why I thought they needed practice, then I took care of the class's questions and kept the focussed (mostly).

7:41 pm

stidmama

8th grade, language arts. It was GREAT!

7:41 pm

stidmama

rofl bugs!

7:41 pm

stidmama

one of the kids called me dude today...

7:41 pm

featherbee

lol, that's cute

7:41 pm

Bugsaw

Great plan stid. Kids need to learn in little doses but have lots of time to practice

7:42 pm

stidmama

today was a pre-assessment so when I do three whole days of teaching in a row next week I can be more certain that I am asking them to do work that they are capable of doing.

7:42 pm

nrkii

dude

7:42 pm

nrkii

yay stid!

7:42 pm

Bugsaw

Hi nrkii

7:42 pm

stidmama

and next wednesday when I teach again I will do a whole day of poetry....

7:42 pm

stidmama

DUDE, nrk!

7:43 pm

Scrabbler

Hey dudes! I am back for this not-too-fun grid.

7:43 pm

nrkii

that kid, he stole "dude" from me

7:43 pm

featherbee

katrina was commenting on my use of "dude" the other day, about trying to explain it to someone who is dutch

7:43 pm

nrkii

I took posession of dude last week

7:43 pm

torgone

Dude ..

7:43 pm

Bugsaw

be prepared for groans at first and then they will forget how hard they thot it was

7:43 pm

Bugsaw

Hey torgone.

7:43 pm

nrkii

hi scrabs

7:43 pm

stidmama

the "usual suspects" refused to do the work, and will get the usual consequences. *sigh* I had hoped they would at least TRY, but they are not in the right headspace for that.

7:43 pm

nrkii

Tor!

7:44 pm

stidmama

hey cousin-dude! and tor-dude!

7:44 pm

Scrabbler

Middle schoolers are tough, very tough.

7:44 pm

stidmama

I am not hurt though by students who won't do the work, just sad that they aren't making use of the opportunities to learn.

7:45 pm

Scrabbler

I would not want to be in middle or high school again.

7:45 pm

stidmama

yes, they are scrabs. That's why I am thinking of working with them. I won't get through to all of them, but if even a couple are helped, then my job is working

7:45 pm

featherbee

kje fall into the grid?

7:45 pm

nrkii

poetry for middle-schoolers...

7:45 pm

Bugsaw

what if you asked the "usual subjects" to write descriptive paragraphs about how much they hate English.....

7:46 pm

stidmama

I wouldn't want to be that age, but I completely know that if they don't have strong, interested teachers it makes it so much worse.

7:46 pm

nrkii

I've got 22 to go here

7:46 pm

Scrabbler

So many lack interested parents, sadly.

7:46 pm

stidmama

I wouldn't get anything out of them at that point either. These are students who may or may not have an actual ODD diagnosis, but that is what it "feels" like to me.

7:46 pm

nrkii

would like to pick up a few more before I list but not sure I can get there

7:46 pm

Bugsaw

I hated my own middle school years and now I love it because I never want any kid to feel the way I did

7:46 pm

featherbee

29 here

7:46 pm

stidmama

many of them actually were doing some writing, but didn't turn it in.

7:46 pm

stidmama

go feather go!

7:47 pm

kje

22 here

7:47 pm

nrkii

ooh

7:47 pm

nrkii

I remember in 10th grade

7:47 pm

featherbee

bahhh

7:47 pm

Scrabbler

117 to go..will go to bed after The Office is done in 45 min.

7:47 pm

nrkii

my English teacher passed around the lyrics to "King of Pain"

7:47 pm

nrkii

as our poetry lesson

7:47 pm

stidmama

better type fast...

7:47 pm

Scrabbler

Hi kje--cough gone yet?

7:48 pm

stidmama

hey kje!

7:48 pm

featherbee

ok, time to start begging.

7:48 pm

featherbee

the darn ae word?

7:48 pm

nrkii

ae + spy agency

7:49 pm

featherbee

not racing. too bleah-ish about the grid to want to race.

7:49 pm

nrkii

ooh, doctors on board...

7:49 pm

featherbee

ty

7:49 pm

nrkii

Scrabs or KJE, should I let 2 isolated cases of vertigo that happened one day after the other worry me?

7:49 pm

Scrabbler

Grr, I never see that word in grids...but now I do see: asea, feta and others that used to elude me.

7:49 pm

nrkii

I think not

7:49 pm

kje

mostly, scrab... couple times/week I'll get a fit, but much better! thanks

7:49 pm

Scrabbler

The doctors are in!

7:49 pm

nrkii

I think allergies = sinuses = vertigo

7:49 pm

Bugsaw

want to drive and ODD kid nuts? play the Opposite game with them. for instance, if you say stand up all the kids are supposed to remain seated but the ODD kids loose track of what they are trying to do the opposite of and bug out ;)

7:50 pm

featherbee

diabolical bugsaw!

7:50 pm

nrkii

the strange thing was that the 2nd instance of vertigo happened while I was walking, and that's never happened to me... I literally lurched to the left all of the sudden

7:50 pm

nrkii

freaked me out

7:50 pm

nrkii

funny, bug!

7:51 pm

Bugsaw

ooh nrkii. not a good feeling

7:51 pm

Scrabbler

Any meds that could cause vertigo? Positional changes? i.e. vertigo after standing up? Any headache? Any head injury from klutziness? Any visual symptoms? Well-hydrated? Anemic?

7:51 pm

nrkii

it went away quickly ... I just had to stand still for about 20 seconds

7:52 pm

kje

nrkii... in the midst of congestion or an URI, an isolate case is not concerning. If it persists or recurs, let your doc know.

7:52 pm

nrkii

kje, that's what I figured... I'm not sick with URI yet, but the allergies are kicking in and I can tell the back of my sinuses are bugging out

7:53 pm

nrkii

so I figured if it happened again in any sort of recurring way, I'd go to the doctor

7:53 pm

featherbee

in6/36 please?

7:53 pm

nrkii

it was very freaky having it happen while I was walking, but I still did the little glance around "did anyone see that" move

7:53 pm

Scrabbler

Or get the Fisher-Price Home Brain MRI Kit.

7:53 pm

nrkii

I like that idea scrabbler!

7:54 pm

kje

take a decongestant daily with your antihistamine during worst allergy season and see if that helps, nrkii

7:54 pm

featherbee

27 left, and want to go to bed in 6 minutes. not gonna happen.

7:54 pm

kje

in6 - what you do with heroin in the vein

7:54 pm

nrkii

I take singulair every day... can I combine something with that?

7:54 pm

kje

or a shot of penicillin in the ass

7:54 pm

nrkii

(oh, and flonase every night)

7:54 pm

Scrabbler

Using a nasal steroid +/or antihistamine, N?

7:54 pm

featherbee

ty

7:54 pm

featherbee

quitting the grid.

7:55 pm

nrkii

if you quit, who will I race against?

7:55 pm

Scrabbler

I saw a Law & Order episode the other night--guy had tertiary syphilis and his brain was Swiss cheese

7:55 pm

kje

yes, you can combine a decongestant with that

7:55 pm

nrkii

ack!

7:55 pm

featherbee

i really want to see what it's like to go to bed early for once, lol

7:56 pm

kje

scrab - i work at parkland... law and order has nothing on the cases i see

7:56 pm

featherbee

nrkii, have you tried letterblox against me yet?

7:56 pm

nrkii

okay, gonna get me some sudafed tomorrow... the good stuff that I have to sign for :)

7:56 pm

Scrabbler

It's wonderful, Feather!

7:56 pm

nrkii

yes feather, and you killed me at it

7:56 pm

featherbee

hee hee, oh, right

7:57 pm

Scrabbler

And as an internist you see far more pathology than a pediatrician. Vaccines are putting us out of business.

7:57 pm

nrkii

I'm terrible at the timed games

7:57 pm

nrkii

except for on quote puzzler

7:57 pm

featherbee

i need to lure stid into it sometime, the way she races me

7:58 pm

Scrabbler

Nancy, I have stoppped Honey Comb--maddening + causing loss of neurons as well as patience.

7:58 pm

nrkii

LOL Scrabbler, I think most people feel like you about it

7:59 pm

nrkii

I don't know why that puzzle fits my brain so well

7:59 pm

featherbee

i like it, but takes too much time!

7:59 pm

Scrabbler

It just pisses me off and I ask myself why I am working on a puzzle ALL day when I am not having fun.

8:00 pm

nrkii

ALL day? oh, I never take more than 30 minutes on it, and most days not more than 5

8:00 pm

nrkii

as soon as it starts to aggravate me, I enter a solution and move on

8:00 pm

Scrabbler

And Triplet Scramble + Scrambled Word make me crazy but I try them anyway for good laughs. I have gotten negative scores many times after staring + drooling.

8:01 pm

Scrabbler

Last wk I started winging it with HC and getting decent scores.

8:01 pm

featherbee

lol scrabs

8:01 pm

featherbee

i'll do more quote puzzler once summer hits again

8:01 pm

nrkii

LOL ... I hate it when my brain goes blank in the middle of a puzzle

8:01 pm

featherbee

too many games, not enough time

8:01 pm

kje

10

8:01 pm

nrkii

it happens to me on top letter some times

8:02 pm

featherbee

26 and holding forever

8:02 pm

nrkii

8:02 pm

Scrabbler

I do look forward to QP everyday though. Maybe I will start winging it with HC again.

8:02 pm

kje

my mom went home today

8:02 pm

Scrabbler

108 and suffering from Babble Blindness.

8:02 pm

nrkii

might as well... not like you lose stars for playing... just make one solution and go with it

8:03 pm

nrkii

went home?

8:03 pm

Scrabbler

Distant thunder now audible! Big storm coming!

8:03 pm

nrkii

jealous about the storm

8:03 pm

nrkii

8:04 pm

nrkii

8:04 pm

featherbee

8:04 pm

Scrabbler

Triplet whatever is my worst game--word order is beyond me.

8:05 pm

kje

Pinikula

hiya scrabs

8:26 pm

Scrabbler

OK, I passed halfway. 96/88. I officially dislike this grid!

8:27 pm

redturtlehead

hi [inik!

8:27 pm

Pinikula

21 to go here and I'm not too fond of it myself!

8:27 pm

Pinikula

hiya red ;)

8:27 pm

Riverdance

Hi All, anyone need clues before I go to bed

8:28 pm

Pinikula

first ma6?

8:28 pm

Scrabbler

Good night all.

8:28 pm

Riverdance

ma6 - with intent to harm

8:28 pm

Pinikula

night scrabs ;)

8:29 pm

stidmama

sweet dreams scrabs

8:29 pm

stidmama

my babble expert died on me, then there was a phone call.

8:29 pm

Riverdance

or ma + nasty little head bugs

8:29 pm

Pinikula

hiya stid ;)

8:29 pm

stidmama

Now I need to get some schoolwork done... though I would rather just babble.

8:29 pm

Pinikula

thx MNH

8:29 pm

stidmama

*decides to ignore schoolwork a little longer*

8:30 pm

Riverdance

I dont have babble expert - does it help that much

8:30 pm

Pinikula

it's wonderful, MNH! :)

8:30 pm

Pinikula

(if you're on a PC)

8:30 pm

Pinikula

stid, how was your teaching day?

8:30 pm

Riverdance

guess I will have to email the powers

8:30 pm

stidmama

it does for me, mom. with my limited playing time (less than an hour total most days) I wouldn't ever finish without it. But when my goal is just to get halfway and NBT it's not necessary

8:31 pm

stidmama

so sometimes I just play on my cell phone...

8:31 pm

Riverdance

does it download on a certain PC

8:31 pm

Riverdance

because I play at both work and home

8:31 pm

Pinikula

no MNH...any PC (not MAC supported yet)

8:32 pm

Pinikula

me, too, MNH

8:32 pm

stidmama

there is a link, and you can use it on any machine you like (though depending on office policy they might not like random programs showing up?)

8:32 pm

Riverdance

would I have to download it on both

8:32 pm

stidmama

yes, but as I recall it's a zip file and fairly small

8:32 pm

Pinikula

probably, MNH

8:32 pm

Pinikula

<-- agrees with, stid

8:32 pm

Riverdance

just got a new computer at home - was waiting for that to email lickety

8:33 pm

stidmama

very cool, MNH (liking pini's abbreviation)

8:33 pm

Riverdance

but didnt have email until this week - didnt come with outlook - had to buy it

8:34 pm

Pinikula

(phone - brb)

8:34 pm

Riverdance

I feel the love

8:35 pm

stidmama

we use gmail for most of our email -- free and as reliable as the others as far as I can tell. Outlook is not one of my favorite programs.

8:35 pm

Riverdance

any other clues needed? I'm dragging tonight for some reason

8:35 pm

Riverdance

we use the email through our internet company so need outlook

8:36 pm

stidmama

oh, I see. that's pretty common I guess.

8:36 pm

redturtlehead

I also use Gmail. never had an issue. But I also get an address via the high speed company I use.

8:36 pm

stidmama

I am not in clue territory, though if you want to toss me one of the 8s I would be grateful!

8:37 pm

stidmama

we have cable company addresses, but between the domain host we use for our websites, the sites we administer, the school-required email (which I forward through gmail)... I prefer to pull everything down in one place.

8:37 pm

Riverdance

se8 - locomotive on the ocean

8:37 pm

Hi all. Dropped in to get my last 10 during half-time of the Celtics/Cavs.

Could I get a clue for the en6?

The Celtics were up by two at the half.

But I am really tired! LOL was fine while there were kids in the classroom, but by the time I got home, I barely had energy to walk down to see the garden before I needed a nap!

11:14 pm

herinfernallady

Stid does that mean you are close to becoming Ms Stid class maam?

11:14 pm

Pinikula

...I didn't know he was one of our new admits. I thought he was an undergrad just asking questions (and a Freshman at that!)

11:15 pm

stidmama

next week, I get to teach THREE days in a ROW! And all the planning is my bit, too. It's a little stressful, but it's okay. Way better than a desk job! LOL

What level?

11:15 pm

Pinikula

You did great, stid! * proud big sis smile *

11:15 pm

Pinikula

gee, thanks, stid...I resemble that desk job remark! :/

oh! LOL pini. we have a few grad students who are young enough to be my children... which means, of course, that I am really old more than that they are so young... *sigh*

11:16 pm

Pinikula

who are you asking, herin?

11:16 pm

herinfernallady

Sorry Stid what is the level of kidlets you are going to teach?

Pinikula

One of my grad students is about 3 months older than my daughter! :/

11:16 pm

11:20 pm

Pinikula

yeah, I actually told one of my student workers today, "OK, so I won't be you to a pulp, I'll apply some creative discipline though!"

11:20 pm

flosey

11:21 pm

Pinikula

<-- thankfully not a teacher!

11:21 pm

herinfernallady

I love how one of the 19 year olds bemoans how bad discipline is at her age. It is funny to hear a teen say how embarrassing her peers are.

I lost my rag at one of the students yesterday when he was making these noises with the computer then said after he was moved it still happened. I snapped at him what a load of B.S. then quickly apologized for being rude.

11:24 pm

herinfernallady

No Teens act up as there is these hormones that make them want to go and kill things. That is my b.fs theory
