Fred is going on the Nesiya program.

Both are good programs -- hope you can get here too, and soon!

12:32 am

melonheadjujube

He'll be there for six weeks, from the Negev to the Golan and points in between. He's so psyched, and I think this will be a tremendous growth experience for him. If all goes well, I should be there about a year from now. If all goes better than well, I should be able to extend my stay.

12:33 am

melonheadjujube

Anyway, we're going to the noon baseball game tomorrow so I'd best get to bed. I'm so glad i caught up with you this evening (morning!), ARB. Shalom to you & yours.

Haz1558

In recognition of 2 hours of chat silence....

5:43 am

Haz1558

There once was a word game called babble
The love child of boggle and scrabble
Night and day through the years
Players played and said â€˜Cheersâ€™
And chat log was full of their gabble.

Then one day came a lull in the chit and the chat
I wondered what could be amiss
Are the players asleep?
Are there secrets to keep?
Have they moved and not left an address?

So, idly I sit, with my eye to the chat
Awaiting a sign of real life.
But what do I see?
Babble has been set free!
Too bad Iâ€™ve got no time to chatâ€¦.

5:44 am

jacq

heya haz and NB, sorry was lost in the grid

5:44 am

Eva

With that level of creative effort, how could I possibly fail to respond?

5:45 am

Haz1558

Hello! Small grids often seem to have this effect on the log, everyone finishes up and heads off.

5:49 am

Haz1558

You're welcome. I'll keep a look out for the ironing. How many feet high is the pile?

5:50 am

Evenin' All

5:50 am

Jacula

Haz- ironing pile is only to top of the basket.

5:50 am

jacq

5:50 am

Nancy Boy

hah! I keep falling into the same trap, Jacula ;)

5:50 am

jacq

hello daykat

5:51 am

daykat

who's offering to do ironing?

5:51 am

Haz1558

Ah, one of your more meagre offerings, Jac, not a holiday pile, obviously.

5:51 am

Jacula

Hello daykat.

5:51 am

daykat

how about cleaning ovens? windows?

5:52 am

daykat

hi jacq, jacula, NancyBoy, eva, Haz

5:52 am

Nancy Boy

Oooh Daykat, let me do the oven! I -love- cleaning ovens! The satisfaction involved..

5:52 am

Haz1558

I'm a strange creature who likes ironing. Cleaning ovens is okay if you use the right stuff, windows aren't my favourite although those microfibre cloths are good.

5:52 am

daykat

Haz love your poem

5:52 am

Haz1558

Thank you, daykat.

5:52 am

daykat

NB - you actually LIKE cleaning ovens????

5:52 am

jacq

i like ironing if i have music

5:53 am

jacq

see between us babblers our homes would sparkle all the time

5:53 am

Nancy Boy

I like them to sparkle, Daykat ;)

5:53 am

daykat

5:53 am

daykat

5:54 am

Nancy Boy

Ladies, ladies, there is enough of me to go round!

5:54 am

jacq

5:56 am

Nancy Boy

5:56 am

jacq

well you have a lovely smile, use it often

5:58 am

Nancy Boy

6:02 am

jacq

6:02 am

daykat

6:02 am

Haz1558

re7/36 - do what you're not supposed to according to the rules again.

6:03 am

jacq

ummmm

6:03 am

jacq

ohhhhhhhhhh

6:04 am

jacq

ty ty ty

6:04 am

Haz1558

If you don't stick to the rules, then you're a ? Think exams and sneaking in notes.

6:04 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

6:04 am

jacq

i never understood people who did that

6:05 am

Haz1558

I know, you'd think it would be easier just to learn the stuff.

6:06 am

jacq

not only that, but if it is a technical subject you may be aked to do the very thing you couldn't be bothered to learn and someone might get hurt as a result

6:07 am

jacq

it's raining here but it's about 20C and strange indeed

6:07 am

Haz1558

It's raining here as well, but warm. Not a good combination for housework.

6:08 am

Jacula

It's spotted with rain here, but stopped again.

6:08 am

Haz1558

Speaking of which, I'd better get back to it. Any more clues needed?

6:08 am

jacq

no thanks Haz am down to 7 now

6:08 am

jacq

have a nice day

6:09 am

Haz1558

That's grand, I'd got down to a slow count of 10. Enjoy the rest of the grid and the day!

6:09 am

Jacula

13 left here. Get cleaning, Haz.x

6:09 am

Haz1558

Yes, ma'am! *gone in a flurry of feather duster'

6:22 am

Riverdance

this grid is too easy

7:30 am

Riverdance

Hello dofith

7:30 am

Mom

it was for me as well but hit a wall with 34 left

7:30 am

Mom

River are you on Facebook?

7:31 am

Riverdance

7:31 am

Dorens

good morning

7:31 am

Mom

7:31 am

Mom

Hi Dorens

7:31 am

Riverdance

yup thats me...lol

7:32 am

Dorens

i've been on for about that long but have 37 left and it isn't lookng so easy now

7:32 am

Riverdance

I am but only to watch my kids - I dont do anything with my site but friend all my kids friends

7:33 am

Dorens

riverdance do you like to play scrabble? there is a cool game called lexulous on facebook... it's the main reason i'm on

7:33 am

Riverdance

sneaky mom

7:33 am

Mom

the reason I asked .... There is a babble community there and Dr. God posted yesterday a teaser for the header of Babble

7:33 am

Mom

not sneaky at all River

7:34 am

Riverdance

oh - will have to look then - I am looking into lexulous - just sent a request out to register - ruby wanted me to join so I could play with her

7:34 am

Mom

I joined for the babble community, Dorens and Lil Monkey sucked me into Lexulous

7:34 am

Dorens

and she is loving it!

7:34 am

Riverdance

but I didnt go into lexulous from facebook

7:35 am

Dorens

i play ruby too.. and a lot of others from babble... go into it from facebook river, then play me a game... i am doren greene

7:35 am

Mom

I am having a good time playing

7:35 am

Kaplan the Magne

I can't look at any other games. It's a bottomless pit.

7:35 am

Riverdance

if I add one more game - my family will disown me - bad enough I have to play most from work during work

7:35 am

Mom

and me as well River, it will be an easy win for you. :-) I am Karen Lee Derickson

7:35 am

Dorens

boy, enable is so out of date... it won't accept chai

7:36 am

Nancy Boy

hi, all :)

7:36 am

Mom

maybe Dr. God will fixt that Doren

7:36 am

Mom

Hi {{NB}}

7:36 am

Dorens

hey nb

7:36 am

Dorens

don't know if he has control over enable... but if he does... wow. it is so arbitrary

7:36 am

Nancy Boy

morning! you Americans are up bright and early :)

7:36 am

Mom

picture River in the future, sneaking to the computer during the night with a flashlight to play all these games

7:37 am

Riverdance

thanks - I have written down your names

7:37 am

Mom

been up since 6, Nancyboy

7:37 am

Nancy Boy

Utter madness, Mom. I got home at six!

7:37 am

Dorens

8:00 is late for me now that school is over.. was used to waking at 6:30

7:37 am

Kaplan the Magne

eche

7:38 am

Riverdance

Good Morning Nancy Boy - I have been up for 3 1/2 hours already and am plopped in my chair at work

7:38 am

Mom

but you are young and I am not so young

7:38 am

Mom

:)

7:38 am

Kaplan the Magne

. That was a comment- not a word search.

7:38 am

Mom

oh River, you do get up early

7:38 am

Dorens

beeen trying to call unemployment since 8 .. it keeps telling me (after five minutes of stupid computer phone stuff) to call back due to the large volume of calls.... lots of teachers.. first day unemployed

7:39 am

Kaplan the Magne

OK, write to me c/o the PB.

7:39 am

Mom

but it is a word Kaplan, good morning

7:39 am

Nancy Boy

ouch, River!

7:39 am

Nancy Boy

it's not so much that, Mom, it's just you reach the point where going to bed just doesn't seem worth the effort ;) it's the most fundamental kind of laziness.

7:39 am

Mom

oh Dorens, I hate that for you

7:40 am

Kaplan the Magne

is the left side of this grid good for anything?

7:40 am

Mom

you need sleep to rest your body and your mind, NB

7:40 am

Dorens

nancy at our age, it is impossible to avoid the bed at a certain point

7:40 am

Nancy Boy

not me, Mom, I'm training to be a superhero ;)

7:40 am

Riverdance

kids - they dont listen Mom - think they know it all

7:40 am

Dorens

a couple of y's. that's about it

7:41 am

Mom

NB, and i have no doubt you will succeed

7:41 am

Dorens

and the o's, two spellings of the same color

7:41 am

Kaplan the Magne

I hate calling unemployment. I got hit by that stupid glitch that after a year, they recalculate your benefit based on the p/t work you are reporting- not the original job loss you got on unemplyment for.

7:41 am

Mom

NB will reflect on this conversation years from now and will remember us telling him all these words of wisdom :)

7:42 am

Riverdance

as I am sure we will all still be here - older and wiser

7:42 am

Dorens

i just want to get through.. i can't do it online b/c i tried it last week which was too soon (didn't know you can't file ahead of time)

7:42 am

Nancy Boy

LOL Mom! well, hopefully by that point, I'll be a little wiser myself ;)

7:42 am

Mom

absolutely as I am living to be 100 and hope babble will still be around

7:43 am

Kaplan the Magne

You can file for your claim starting on Saturday. It's easy to do on line.

7:44 am

Kaplan the Magne

If I am playing babble at age 100, it will be only the monkeys.

7:44 am

Dorens

the stupidest thing is after listening to a long english story, i then have to listen to it in espaÃ±ol before pushing the next button. i can't do it online, it keeps telling me to call this number (which eventually tells me to try later)

7:44 am

Riverdance

no thats when your mind comes back sharp - but the typos will be incredible with the arthritic fingers

7:45 am

Mom

Dorens, can you try to keep pushing "0" and maybe somone will come on the line

7:45 am

Kaplan the Magne

Your mind comes back? From where?

7:45 am

Dorens

by the time he's 100 they will have either cured arthritis or figured out a way to type without fingers

7:45 am

Dorens

nope... won't let me push anything

7:45 am

Riverdance

yes by voice

7:45 am

Riverdance

or telepathy

7:45 am

Mom

ah

7:46 am

Mom

my sweetie will tell me mine will come back from the gutter :-)

7:46 am

Riverdance

ah, how sweet Mom

7:46 am

Dorens

well, down to 26.. have to leave some word for later.... happy babbles everyone

7:46 am

Nancy Boy

LOL Mom! Lucky you - I think mine has passed the point of no return, in that respect ;)

7:46 am

Mom

bye bye Dorens, good luck getting through

7:47 am

m9f9l

gm all

7:47 am

Mom

good morning {{M9}} you are early this morning

7:47 am

Riverdance

bye dorens

7:47 am

Mom

had to pull it out of the gutter once we had the boys

7:47 am

m9f9l

just a few minutes.LOL

7:47 am

Riverdance

Good Morning M9

7:47 am

Mom

wouldn't do for their mom to be a potty mouth around them

7:47 am

m9f9l

Thurs is Tim's early day for work

7:48 am

Mom

I was just going to ask if you shoved the DH out the door early this morning

7:48 am

Nancy Boy

Oh I don't know Mom, they learn it in the end. Mind you, I can still remember the thrashing I got for saying my first swear in front of my parents ;)

7:48 am

m9f9l

And then I just got this puter back on net. I had to restore to earlier point. I think my 4yo changed an encryption or something...

7:48 am

Mom

boy do they ever! but they don't so much around me

7:49 am

m9f9l

All kids go through a swearing phase.

7:49 am

Mom

gotta love those 4 year olds

7:50 am

m9f9l

first they go through a potty mouth stage my 4 yo is in this right now) "poo poo" "pee pee" about everything..LOL

7:50 am

Kaplan the Magne

They have no idea of what anything means or that it's even bad- but they notice the reaction they get, and that is what makes it thrilling.

7:50 am

m9f9l

and around 5 or 6 I think is the swearing phase. I've found it passes very quickly if you pretty much ignore it.

7:50 am

m9f9l

Well.. I don't ignore it

7:51 am

m9f9l

Calmly just say we don't use those words, and THEN ignore it.

7:51 am

Kaplan the Magne

That's it. They will not know what douchebag is for a long time.

7:52 am

Mom

well an even 60 down, have errands to run this morning. Good luck to all of you {{Hugs}}

7:52 am

m9f9l

I have 50 to go

7:52 am

Riverdance

bye ((Mom)) - I am fighting for my last 4 words

7:52 am

Kaplan the Magne

32 for me, but most get ready for the real day.

7:53 am

dofith

Got bad news for you, m9 - my 4 boys are all in 30's - still in potty mouth stage! It's a boy/man thing!

7:53 am

Mom

{{River}} have a good day.

7:53 am

Kaplan the Magne

But now they know what the words mean (I hope).

7:53 am

Nancy Boy

it can be funny though...I remember when I was eight and my sister was four, we were in the car and my dad let out a stream of abuse at someone who cut us up. My little sister, five minutes later: "daddy, what's a f****** twat?" oh nooo

7:53 am

Mom

lol NB

7:54 am

Joanne123

twat lmao

7:54 am

hello everyone!

7:55 am

Riverdance

Good Morning Annie

7:55 am

Mom

{{annie}} so glad to see you before I head out. I wish you a wonderful day

7:55 am

Anniebrook

((Mom)) you too and hi river

7:56 am

evening again all,

7:56 am

Mom

thanks **poof**

7:56 am

Anniebrook

hi day

7:56 am

Anniebrook

7:56 am

daykat

hey Annie, dofith, NB River

7:56 am

Riverdance

Hi daykat

7:57 am

dofith

Nancy Boy, that's a hoot! I can picture that easily - we (parents) have to try so hard not to laugh on those occasions.

7:57 am

dofith

Daykat! You again!

7:58 am

daykat

I remember when our son was little we had to retrain him to say 'oh bother' instead of more colourful language when we were going to vivit grandma

7:58 am

dofith

I see why we bacame such good friends all those years ago - both bound by the same need to waste time!

7:58 am

daykat

Grandma thought it was so cute - she never did get told the story

7:59 am

daykat

no no dofith - this is definately very educational

8:00 am

daykat

our conversation is going to be liberally peppered with a plethora of se7/32's and fy8/60 any time soon

8:00 am

m9f9l

dofith.. it's not necessarily a boy thing. my 19 yo can't hand to hear cussing (although he also went through the phase). We just don't cuss around here and the kids pretty much follow the example.

8:01 am

dofith

Do you remember when your Tim first used the f word? Our loungeroom window was broken and he was muttering about the "*erkin' " window - it was "*erkin'" at our place for years after!

8:01 am

bonkler

on the bus a while back a little fellow was standing on the seat looking at me and making faces. suddenly he adopted a look of great concentration and some little effort. as his face relaxed he smiled and announced, "son of a bitch, he shit his pants again." i could just make out his mom's muttered oath, "i am so going to kill your father"

8:01 am

bonkler

Happy Birthday Canada !!

8:03 am

It's making my day just hearing it now! What a hoot!

8:03 am

Anniebrook

hi bonker, very funny

8:03 am

m9f9l

speaking of which.. my husband just called... and I need to take a pair of pants down to his work!!!!

8:04 am

m9f9l

Bonkler..how old do you think he was?

8:04 am

bonkler

he was 2 - 2 1/2 sort of that stage between toddler and a little boy

8:05 am

Anniebrook

the cutest age

8:05 am

m9f9l

too funny... I gotta go.. but I'll tell you my daughter's repeating adults story sometime..

8:05 am

m9f9l

*poof*

8:06 am

Riverdance

bye M9

8:06 am

dofith

daykat, was that a Freudian slip? (see bonklerspelling!)

8:06 am

daykat

dofith a typo:)

8:06 am

bonkler

it was great hearing about six or ten other passengers all snort and try to stifle laughter, not wanting to make like it was funny because the little guy was drinking in the sudden attention.

8:07 am

Anniebrook

my friend's little boy ( he is now 50) couldnt pronounce "tr" when quite small so he substituted F instead. You can imagine what he said when he saw a lorry going by. We still tell him the story and he puts up with us.

8:07 am

Riverdance

yes - my daughter was a hoot when trying to say firetruck for that same reason

8:09 am

Anniebrook

fireworks

8:09 am

daykat

Annie - my boy did exactly the same!!!! Lots of big "lorries"!!!!

8:09 am

Anniebrook

lol, day

8:09 am

daykat

good for you Annie

8:09 am

dofith

Say it 10 times quickly and it's even funnier!

8:09 am

Riverdance

congrats Annie

8:10 am

bonkler

my granny, british army nurse for fifty years almost burst into spontaneous human combustion when my nephew, who stuttered a little bit as a toddler, was asking what is a country. took him three repeats before he got the ry sound out.

8:11 am

daykat

lol!!!

8:11 am

Anniebrook

oh bonkler, poor littlle tyke

8:11 am

Anniebrook

but then I assume he had no idea, then I should have said poor granny

8:11 am

bonkler

granny was a terrrifying creature

8:12 am

daykat

Annie, I really like your picture

8:12 am

bonkler

even she cracked a smile when the full question emerged

8:12 am

Anniebrook

anyone like a clue before I head out?

8:13 am

Anniebrook

oh thanks, daycat

8:13 am

Nancy Boy

lol Bonkler! oh dear :)

8:13 am

daykat

I'm having a hard time with the ha's

congrats River

8:15 am

dofith

Another funny story - m9 mentioned taking her husband's pants down to him : we had a newly arrived student from Indonesia (Chinese Indonesian) who had limited English. He lived with a guardian. I taught him and took him under my wing somewhat. He was 15 and growing like a weed. I noticed one day his pants were half-mast, so I offered to take them down for him. I can still see his look of terror as he clutched at his pants! Things were never quite the same again!

8:15 am

Anniebrook

another he 7 is a pagan, unbeliever

8:15 am

daykat

River:)))

8:16 am

8:38 am

EvaNadine

well, as dear fiance says, we could earn some money back if i wear them. ;)

8:39 am

Nancy Boy

oh, and don't show the minister ;) I'm not exactly au fait with the ways of the church, but seems like the kind of thing they'd frown upon ;)

8:40 am

EvaNadine

oh, those shoes made my day...hehe
sadly, im actually having trouble finding the perfect shoes... :/

8:41 am

perfect shoes are mythical creatures. Go phoenix-hunting and you might come across some..

8:42 am

EvaNadine

Nancy Boy

You'll find them, though, I'm sure :) I'm sure if you can't do it, there's no hope at all for the rest of the world.

8:44 am

EvaNadine

8:44 am

Nancy Boy

ouch! are they worth it?

8:46 am

EvaNadine

i do love them, but i cant pay that much for shoes...

8:48 am

Nancy Boy

I always try to rationalise expensive clothes/footwear depending on how much I anticipate wearing it/them. Or by making bargains with myself concerning all the ugly clothes that I will never buy...

8:49 am

EvaNadine

i dont mind paying a little more than i normally would as (1) they ARE my wedding shoes and (2) i plan on getting shoes i will wear again. but even that is more than i care to spend.

8:50 am

Nancy Boy

I miss the days when I didn't have to spend money on food or rent. I resent it so much that I sometimes fantasize about being starving, homeless but fabulously dressed.

8:51 am

ah thank you kindly, ladies

1:29 pm

Dorens

hi all

1:30 pm

Riverdance

Hi Dorens

1:31 pm

Dorens

would you believe i've been trying to get through to unemployment since 8 am? Me and 6,000 other teachers from nj

1:32 pm

Riverdance

still - oh no

1:33 pm

Riverdance

how stressful - is there a time limit

1:34 pm

Dorens

and right now it is the 6th time that i've answered a bunch of questions,, then they tell me an agent will be on right away, then i get the recording telling me that they are busy helping others and i should call back.. i just wonder how these "others" got there

1:34 pm

Riverdance

did you get laid off or do you have to do this every year when school lets out

1:35 pm

Dorens

laid off, thanks to our fabulous governor... cut our budget into shreds, so they eliminated all guidance counselors

1:35 pm

Riverdance

I guess you have to hang on and hope you dont get disconnected to start all over again - that happens to me often enough calling a doctors office

1:35 pm

Riverdance

that is so wrong - guidance counselors are desperately needed

1:36 pm

Dorens

yup, they just did it. after the robot said an agent will be with you next, i got the recording, due to the high volume of calls waiting, they can't answer.. call back. I wish i would just get a busy signal, i spend an average of ten minutes answering their questions

1:36 pm

Dorens

oh yah, very wrong... and somehow some way they may find the $$ to get me ack, but meanwhile it has been a very stressful two months and now i need to pay my own health insurance, etc, so i'll take the unemployment

1:37 pm

Riverdance

they dont leave you any choice

1:38 pm

LeslieAnn

that sucks to hear dorens. agree with river, kids need guidance counselors

1:38 pm

Riverdance

there has been too many teacher/counselor/school cut backs amongst the babblers. You should get together with Sciencegeek and vent

1:39 pm

Dorens

everyone knows it, but still it is happening. I have been venting plenty... i am still angry about it, and wish i could gain better acceptance, but it is just plain wrong.. for the kids, for the teachers, and for me.

1:40 pm

Dorens

oh, just tried to call again, and this time at least they put me off right away instead of the false hope of thinking i was getting somewhere.... by the way, it is not UNemployment, now, they call it REemployment

1:40 pm

LeslieAnn

what a weird misnomer. you are not being re-emloyed

1:41 pm

Riverdance

that is a joke - right???

1:44 pm

Riverdance

maybe they can re-employ you at the re-employment office as it looks like they need some help

1:46 pm

Dorens

no, they answer "you have reached the re-employment center" i guess they think that everyone calling is trying to get re-employed... optimism rules?

1:47 pm

Dorens

riverdance, i am assuming that they are normally more competent... but when 6,00 people are laid off at once....... I tried to file earlier, but was told it has to be after june 30th. foolish of them... they should have staggered it, knowing the staggering numbers that would be claiming

1:47 pm

Dorens

that was supposed to be six thousand

1:48 pm

Riverdance

I got it - thats an incredible amount of people out of work

1:48 pm

Riverdance

how sad for the kids

1:48 pm

Dorens

and that's just teachers... i'm assuming there are a lot more... security guards, secretaries, etc ... and then again that is just schools.... probably others have lost jobs too

1:51 pm

Dorens

well, at least we have portable phones these days... would be worse if i were chained to a desk with the oldfashioned phones that didn't move. i am going outside for a while to enjoy the nice weather... we have a bit of a break between heat waves here. see you later

1:51 pm

Riverdance

bye dorens - chin up!

5:45 pm

Soodle

Story of clues????? Sounds intrigueing....

5:46 pm

Minveryork

I always try do a story of clues whenever I finish the puzzle to help those who haven't finished puzzle yet.

5:47 pm

Minveryork

But today with such a small grid, I doubt it is needed.

5:48 pm

Soodle

What a lovely idea. Its about 11.45pm here, so I guess I don't synchronise with you too often. But I really like the idea of a clue story.

5:49 pm

rururocks

Happy Canada Day Jillibus! Changed my profile pic to a Canadian flag on FaceBook today.Hubby thought it was weird being hat I'm not Canadian, but who cares

5:59 pm

Joanne123

soo the gst that was temperary was replaced by the hst...losers don't think we know that

5:59 pm

Joanne123

ohh sorry Jill our company took the extra day

5:59 pm

jillibus

Thanks, Min -- and we usually do a celebration of July 4 too -- all in the family, right?

6:00 pm

jillibus

taxes never seem to be temporary

6:00 pm

Joanne123

no they never are,just a ploy for politicians

6:01 pm

jillibus

what makes me laught about the HST is the idea that businesses will pass on their savings to us little guys.

6:02 pm

Joanne123

how??

6:03 pm

jillibus

(For those not Canadian, the HST is a Harmonised Sales Tax, which combines a federal and a provincial tax into one, but far fewer things are exempt than previusly. It shifts the tax from big businesses to the people and families.)

6:04 pm

Joanne123

i'm indian and now i hear that i am not exempt

6:05 pm

jillibus

Oh really? Wow.

6:06 pm

6:19 pm

Nef

Sorry (was catching up on the chog) By wonky I meant that the page has added the same word twice to my word list, even though I only typed it once and it wouldn't take some other *REAL* words that I've typed in!

6:22 pm

Minveryork

6:23 pm

Mom

6:23 pm

Riverdance

expert is different than lickety

6:23 pm

jesdraggon

wait, only expert? so we can still use the good old webpage clues?

6:23 pm

jillibus

No, he's not saying no Lickety -- just Babble Expert

6:23 pm

Riverdance

bye Joanne - enjoy

6:23 pm

jesdraggon

i'm done panicking then :)

6:23 pm

Mom

Hi Min, I am just dandy, how are you?

6:23 pm

rururocks

6:24 pm

jillibus

but Expert is such a huge help -- I sure hope he does something like it.

6:24 pm

Minveryork

I am well. I am currently working on a story of clues.

6:24 pm

Nef

I had just started up the computer when I started playing; the refresh got rid of the dble entry but didn't bring back the un-entered words.

6:24 pm

Mom

on the teaser above the stats there is this "click individual tiles for clues"

6:25 pm

jillibus

Min, you missed something, I think. We were talking about Dr G's new design not being compatible with Expert.

6:25 pm

Mom

can't wait to see the story Min, I hope it contains the 19 words I have left

6:25 pm

jillibus

oh Mom, I didn't see that

6:26 pm

Nef

then

6:26 pm

Riverdance

I can help Mom - I think I finished 5 minutes after you left early this morning

6:26 pm

Minveryork

Oh, I didn't know there was a new Babble design. My Babble page looks the same to me. Is the new design only on BabbleExpert? Used to have BE, not anymore.

6:27 pm

Minveryork

7:17 pm

m9f9l

Class clown

Oh little boy,
You sweet-spirited child!
You're so afraid of something.
You're needing,
Wanting,
Hoping,
And it's so hard, so hard,
I can't see what it is.
What is it? What thorn is in your side?
What do you need to feel comfortable,
So that you don't need to giggle giggle nervously,
Squirm worried in your chair.
You're so unhappy though you're laughing,
The pressure's plainly there for me to see,
What do I do to take care of you????

7:17 pm

Riverdance

dogs barking at ghosts I guess - hair raised and everything - nothing there

7:17 pm

garyandjulie

thanks River, take care everyone

7:18 pm

m9f9l

bye julie!

7:21 pm

Nancy Boy

oh River! creepy! might be the drink but that has me a little freaked out

7:21 pm

Riverdance

wow M9 - thats pretty - I'm not a poetry fan per se, but this one touched me

7:21 pm

m9f9l

me too. that's why I like that one.

7:22 pm

Riverdance

dogs are in now and spread out after a nice belly rub - someone may have been walking down the road that I didnt see

7:22 pm

m9f9l

that's how I felt at cub scout camp!

7:22 pm

m9f9l

sometimes I feel like this one she wrote too:

7:22 pm

Riverdance

den mother M9?

7:23 pm

m9f9l

Rubber band

I feel my edges fraying,
The tension starts to grow.
Pale and thin the cracks appear,
Around my edges slow
They gather and they widen.
Soon one will go right through
To the other side of me
And I will split in two.

7:23 pm

MizHoffle

howdy all!

7:23 pm

Riverdance

8:40 pm

stidgmere

Hellow allw, worked on grid before and now after dinner and down to 28.

8:40 pm

Thanks so much, Riverdance.

8:45 pm

Nancy Boy

*sheepish* I have sobered up now...alcohol usually makes me sleepier, though. Wide awake at the moment!

8:45 pm

Riverdance

Omg, I hope it doesnt happen to me - lol

8:46 pm

stidmama

glad you have sobered up. Two things, then. screen time can make your brain waves weird and harder to sleep. reading quietly (a physical book) is more likely to help you get back to sleep...

8:46 pm

lbdawger

could use what every college kid uses for sleeping problems...read a textbook!

8:46 pm

LuwandaHL

go to a lecture

8:46 pm

stidmama

I have a couple textbooks that are guaranteed to work, NancyBoy!

8:47 pm

8:49 pm

Riverdance

pills are no good when you are counter-acting alcohol or drugs - stay safe NB

8:49 pm

lbdawger

melatonin isn't a sleeping pill, it's an herb that helps you relax naturally. Scrabs takes it for her sleeping problems.

8:49 pm

hey cousin!

scrabs, tell, NB about melatonin

9:02 pm

hey ruru!

9:02 pm

9:02 pm

Dr God created Babble Community on FB and posted his new design. He had hoped to get things changed today.

9:03 pm

rururocks

hi there stiddy

9:03 pm

Scrabbler

No, Ru, you look as silly as ever!

9:03 pm

rururocks

.. oh good...

9:04 pm

Minveryork

Mabe we'll be able to see the "new" Babble at flip time

9:04 pm

Scrabbler

NB, I fell in love with melatonin a few months ago--a natural sleep aid. Our pineal glands produce melatonin to induce sleep. I take 1 mg and fall asleep 15-20 min later.

9:05 pm

rururocks

NB.. I do a valium and two shots of Jack.. that works for me

9:05 pm

LuwandaHL

Time to walk! 5 miles here I come!!! Good night all. I'd like to think I'll be back after walking but I'll probably just collapse! No need for melatonin :)

9:05 pm

Scrabbler

Do you ever cease breathing, Ruru?

9:05 pm

LuwandaHL

lol ruru

9:05 pm

Nancy Boy

Ruru - LOL. Just my luck, I'm fresh out of both.

9:05 pm

Scrabbler

Go Luwanda go!

9:05 pm

stidmama

later Luwanda, enjoy your perambulations!

9:06 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye LuwandaHL! I'll see you tomorrow in the log!

9:06 pm

rururocks

scrabs is in love with melatonin...hmmm how would that look as a marriage

9:06 pm

Nancy Boy

Well Scrabbs, I'm not sure if I really need anything - I'm just having strange sleep cycles. One day I'll drop straight into really deep, sleeping-pill-like sleep - the next I'll be up all night. I need a happy medium!

9:06 pm

Married to a pill--sounds dreadful.

Good advice, Scrabbs, thank you :) I actually have quit smoking, just about - but nothing in my life is free of anxiety or stress anymore ;) since I've effectively paid to live in TWO flats this month, we can now add money to my list of troubles. Woe is me ;)

9:14 pm

9:14 pm

9:14 pm

lbdawger

hi CJ!

9:14 pm

Scrabbler

As I typed the list I realized that anxiety/worries/stress = major problems for me with sleeping.

how would we be motivated to do anything without stress to kick us in the butt

9:17 pm

rururocks

well as I was saying to Gandhi the other day...

9:17 pm

some stress is good for you. keeps you on your toes

9:17 pm

Nope, NB, but working on one's attitude + coping skills help a lot. Especially learning to "talk back" to your "worry voice." Life experience sure helps.

you should probably set a routine for sleeping, let your body get into a biological rhythm that it can actually get some rest.

The secret section won't be secret for long, it just means DR_G is either still thinking what it will be or he hasn't worked it out yet. LOL

9:37 pm

Jellen

Yay, jes!!!

9:37 pm

Jacula

Jes - Don't know if I told yu all, but I learned something I didn't know at a family party a few weeks ago. We were out in the back garden having a party when a couple of fireworks went off. 'The drugs are here!' remarked Beloved sister. 'What?' said I. Beloved's Mum explained... 'When the drug dealers arrive, they set off a couple of fireworks to let people know they are around.' 'I'd never have guessed that!' said I. 'That's the point!' she said.

9:38 pm

jesdraggon

and guess i will be going in to the clinic after all. they called back.

9:38 pm

stidmama

YAY Jes~

9:38 pm

Jellen

((jes))

9:38 pm

stidmama

I hope the critter will be okay, Jes. I know it's in good hands.

9:39 pm

jesdraggon

heh. fun, but i'm pretty sure it's just early fireworks for the 4th. big fireworks are actually illegal in many areas most times of year around here (fire danger)

9:39 pm

Nancy Boy

never heard that before, Jacula! Then again, I live in London, so it's generally accepted that the drug dealers will usually be where you last left them ;)

9:39 pm

stidmama

thanks for the update, Jellen. keeping you both in my heart.

9:39 pm

jesdraggon

we'll see. 3 week old kitten that's been bottle fed--probably never got colostrum. now has vomiting and diarrhea.

9:39 pm

Jacula

Jes - fun? Do you think the arrival of drug dealers is fun?

9:40 pm

stidmama

poor kitty.

9:40 pm

Jacula

Not trying to be confrontational, but I'm shocked.

9:40 pm

jesdraggon

depends on the drugs, i suppose. mostly i was being sarcastic about the random fireworks, as i don't like loud noises or flashing lights when i expect them. they drive me batty when i am not expecting them.

9:41 pm

jesdraggon

laters all :)

9:41 pm

stidmama

okay, going away. need an eyeball break. (((hugs all))) see you-all tomorrow. Regular babble breaks while studying keep me sane(r). *poof*

9:41 pm

Nancy Boy

later, Jes, good luck!!

9:42 pm

lbdawger

ergh, someone just set off a really big booming firework. ---be safe, Jes. hope the kitten will be okay.

9:42 pm

lbdawger

night night, Stid. and i'm off too. see you all tomorrow.

9:42 pm

Jillyjill

9:47 pm

Jillyjill

9:48 pm

Jacula

If you'd seen the 80-year-old skeletons, who are actuallu kids of about 20, begging for small change. you wouldn't make jokes about drug dealers.

9:48 pm

Jacula
