stidmama

*waves to gremlinn*

12:10 am

gremlinn

12:12 am

Gadget

hi stid!

12:12 am

dcseain

wow, stid, the little one looks a lot like his dad

12:12 am

m9f9l

use that oi7 in a sentence recently did you?

12:13 am

stidmama

:-D that's the elder stidkid! and yes, he does.

12:13 am

gremlinn

I look for it when I see le5, because it's contained within oi7 reversed

12:13 am

gremlinn

alternate spelling would be an oe7, changing just that second letter

12:13 am

dcseain

new wond to me, ty grem

12:14 am

stidmama

*trying to think through gremlinn's logic*

12:14 am

jillibus

If there were a P here, a phant would be pygmy

12:14 am

m9f9l

that makes a lot of sense grem!

12:14 am

gremlinn

stid: I remember words together when one's contained within the reverse of another, like if I find "united", I look for "detinue"

12:15 am

jillibus

Grems' logic is like Stephen Wright's (sp?)

12:15 am

m9f9l

sweet! that takes a really good memory

12:15 am

stidmama

that makes sense, just a VERY different way of seeing the patterns. I envy you that skill.

12:15 am

jillibus

when I see "united" I see "untied"

12:15 am

stidmama

fygmy: a small mediterranean fruit?

12:15 am

gremlinn

or more often just words that *almost* have that pattern like the pair "antelope" and "polenta"

12:16 am

jillibus

lol. stid!

12:16 am

stidmama

and it worked... once you explained it I "saw" the word!!! 7 greyed!

12:16 am

Erda

so, how did you call up the oi7/32?

12:16 am

gremlinn

12:30 am

jillibus

I wonder of Yuyuan Garden is what used to be Jessfield Park, near where our apartment house was on Yu Yuen Road where we lived until I was 8.

12:30 am

westford

okay now nbt

12:30 am

cybernan

it was indeed Seain -- most amazing was that we travelled 1100 miles up the Yangtze and other than in the gorges, the river never narrowed appreciably

12:31 am

cybernan

I will post a photo of it tomorrow jill

12:31 am

dcseain

It's one of the World's great rivers for a reason :)

12:31 am

jillibus

You see, all the names of places I knew have changed. It's so sad.

12:32 am

jillibus

What is my old school now, I wonder. And the Cathedral?

12:32 am

Pinikula

back (for a few more)

12:32 am

cybernan

we didn't see a cathedral

12:32 am

dcseain

the cathedral is still there, and still in use, my friend tells me, assuming you mean the Roman Catholic one

12:32 am

dcseain

it's not far from the Shul and Synagogue

12:33 am

jillibus

It was a beautiful building -- not huge though.

12:33 am

jillibus

I mean the Church of England one, dc.

12:34 am

dcseain

St Ignatius?

12:35 am

dcseain

on Puxi Rd? (pooshee as pronounced)

12:35 am

jillibus

Our last home was at 433 Avenue Haig, next to the Cathedral Girls' School. It was an apartment house and ours was on the 5th floor.

12:35 am

dcseain

http://tinyurl.com/2ckyj66
indicates it's there and in use

12:36 am

jillibus

Not St Ignatius -- unless it's been taken over by the RCs. I don't remember thename of the street.

12:36 am

dcseain

ah, no Holy Trinity is the Anglican one

12:36 am

dcseain

it's being rebuilt, as of 2006

12:55 am

jillibus

I have no interest in being a speed demon, missing the fun of the chat

12:56 am

Pinikula

smart thinking, west!

12:56 am

westford

and what jilli said too

12:56 am

Pinikula

my monkeys are finding (un)words just by hitting random keys!

12:56 am

Douglas

Karlheinz Stockhausen wrote a composition about yl4

12:56 am

Pinikula

ah, yes, another good point, jilli!

12:56 am

cybernan

Jill -- does the new icon look familiar?

12:56 am

westford

you know so much doug

12:57 am

Douglas

I had a record of it many years ago

12:58 am

jillibus

No, nan -- unless it's an addition to Jessfield Park. But I think I can find the new name for our park -- just a minute...

12:58 am

westford

I confess I've never heard of him was he a pianist?

12:59 am

Christine

Jillibus - that name struck a chord, so I googled it. There's a photo of your friend ...

1:00 am

westford

that is too funny Christine

1:00 am

jillibus

Zhongshan Park is the new name for Jessfield. Did you get to see it, nan?

1:01 am

jillibus

J.G. Ballard, Christine? I didn't know him, but he's a well-known author now and wrote the book the movie Empire of the Sun was made from.

1:02 am

westford

ah thought you meant Reginette

1:02 am

Pinikula

I love that movie!!!! One of my favorites!

1:02 am

Pinikula

(humming tune now)

1:02 am

Christine

No, Jillibus - a photo of Reginette, 1945.

1:03 am

cybernan

Probably not, Jill -- I think it was a private garden belonging to some nobleman -- probably was not open to the public when you were there. We were only in Shanghai for 2 days -- did a tour of Old Shanghai, Yuyuan Garden, the Bund, Shanghai Museum and a silk carpet workshop.

1:03 am

westford

oh so you did mean her

1:03 am

jillibus

Really! I'll have to look.

1:03 am

cybernan

The third day we wnt to Sushou then on to Nanjing where we boarded our ship.

1:04 am

Christine

The name Reginette seemed familiar, not the surname. But I doubt it is the same person.

1:04 am

Douglas

Stockhausen was a prolific German composer of the 20th century. I saw him conduct one of his compositions called Sirius, a composition commissioned for the US Bicentennial

1:05 am

cybernan

Off to catch some zzz's -- still trying to get back on the NA time clock

There's a second entry for your friend, but it's in Chinese, so --

1:08 am

jillibus

Christine, there can't be two Reginette Felgates in China and I'm sure that's her in the picture although I wouldn't have recognised her! I last saw her in 1939 and the pic was in 1945. Wow! The connections we make via Babble!!!

1:08 am

Douglas

British songbird Di4 is in the grid, didn't expect her to be a word. This grid is a lot like yesterday's grid...

1:08 am

rururocks

1:10 am

rururocks

I think it is an Ansel Adams

1:11 am

Pinikula

oh, yes....very pretty!

1:11 am

m9f9l

black and white with half dome...good odds

1:12 am

m9f9l

1:12 am

m9f9l

1:12 am

jillibus

1:16 am

m9f9l

1:16 am

m9f9l

oops. Vicious.

1:17 am

Pinikula

1:17 am

m9f9l

ok. and i'm out! *poof*

1:17 am

Pinikula

night m9

1:19 am

Pinikula

<-- fading, but fighting for the finish line! (9)

1:21 am

Pinikula

may have to hold them for tmw

1:22 am

jillibus

I guess I'd better settle down and look for some words!

1:22 am

rubyfoo

hello. Did anybody see last night's chat? I found two vipers IN MY STUDIO. One was dead and the other went back outside

1:23 am

Pinikula

viper?

1:23 am

Pinikula

snake?

1:23 am

Pinikula

yikes!!!!

1:23 am

Pinikula

just some every now and then, jilli ;)

1:23 am

jillibus

Ooh!

1:24 am

jillibus

Were they really vipers?

1:24 am

rubyfoo

yes. We went outside this AM and killed the second one with greast difficulty.

1:25 am

Pinikula

wow!

1:25 am

jillibus

Nasty!

1:25 am

rubyfoo

they are amazing with extremely tiny head, maybe 15-18" long

1:26 am

Pinikula

* shudder *

1:26 am

rubyfoo

there are only 2 kinds of snakes here: coulouvres (very large (4 - 5 ft but benign and I've never seen one) and vipers

1:26 am

jillibus

I occasionally see a little grass snake in my garden, that's all!

1:27 am

rubyfoo

I'm not afraid of snakes in general, only poisonous ones (I'm not that stupid)

1:27 am

rubyfoo

the worst of it was that it was INSIDE

1:27 am

Pinikula

I enjoy seeing none!

1:27 am

Pinikula

(unless captive in a zoo)

1:54 am

jillibus

firewords

2:05 am

Douglas

Hooray jilli!

2:05 am

rubyfoo

hello douglas

2:06 am

rubyfoo

I guess the snakes were trying to cool off in the house!

2:06 am

Douglas

Elroy, as in "His boy Elroy" is in the grid...brain is flailing at itchy, scratchy grid

2:09 am

Douglas

Hello ruby...sorry to hear about the venomous snakes...something one doesn't see everyday

2:11 am

Christine

Rubyfoo - that's awful; here, in L.A. we get ants in the summertime, but only in the bathroom sink, looking for water I guess.

2:16 am

Douglas

I tried to get mnbt, but couldn't get the northwest s without morewords...still don't have the northern i

2:18 am

rubyfoo

my husband, who is terrifiied of snakes, was able to dispose of them. His protectiveness about the dogs overcame his fear, but he was very shaky afterwards.

2:18 am

rubyfoo

I really like snakes, but not poisonous ones.

2:19 am

rubyfoo

what was surprising about these was that their head were so small. I always thought that vipers had noticeable triangular heads.

2:20 am

jillibus

here's my icon clue

2:20 am

rubyfoo

I'm still a little worried that there is a nest somewhere is this garden as I think they give birth to live, poisonous, babies

2:20 am

Douglas

NBA player (Car)melo Anthony is in the grid

2:20 am

rubyfoo

if I hold that up, will it keep snakes away! or pin it on my door

2:20 am

rubyfoo

(that was for jilli)

2:20 am

jillibus

doug, that I is in6/21 -- strangely, it was my first word!

2:21 am

jillibus

I wish it would, ruby!

2:21 am

rubyfoo

like St. Patrick!

2:23 am

rubyfoo

douglas: did you see the obit for Manute Bol?

2:24 am

rubyfoo

a hint for the in6 pls.

2:24 am

jillibus

ruby, what makes you so sure it's a viper, when it has a small head?

2:25 am

Douglas

I read a number of articles that gave the impression that he was a wonderful human being, in addition to being an NBA shot-blocker extraordinaire

2:25 am

helensgirlkid

As far inside as possible, ruby

2:25 am

jillibus

in6 -- opp of out-fewest

2:25 am

rubyfoo

because there are only 2 kinds of snakes here and the tiny head was definitely triangular. I inspected it. Plus, a viper killed a donkey not far from here and my friend who lives about 1000 ft highter has found two in her garden.

2:26 am

Douglas

fish please

2:26 am

rubyfoo

got it, ty jilli

2:26 am

jillibus

I see. I just googled images for vipers so I wondered.

2:27 am

jillibus

anyway, much as I'd like to stay and clue I must go to bed. I guess it's all the coughing that's making me so tired!

2:27 am

Douglas

hino, nile, eloi, elroy, lors...just some of the things I'm trying that aren't working

2:28 am

jillibus

how about a tuna, daou?

2:28 am

rubyfoo

why are you coughing so much? It must be exhausting

2:28 am

rubyfoo

I guess enable hasn't read orwell

2:28 am

jillibus

It's the remains of a cold I got on June 24.

2:29 am

rubyfoo

isn't roleo a loggers' contest?

2:29 am

jillibus

*doug, not daou (typo time again)

2:29 am

rubyfoo

fish?

2:29 am

Douglas

If I had a small amount of money for every time eloi was in a crossword puzzle, I'd have a lot of money

2:30 am

jillibus

doug wanted a fish coz of the in6 I guess

2:30 am

Douglas

Yes, a fish for being slapped with for not seeing in6

2:30 am

rubyfoo

hahah

2:30 am

jillibus

you may need to refresh to see my icon clue

2:31 am

rubyfoo

is was looking for one in the grid

2:31 am

jillibus

And now I shall leave you all and say goodnight and *poof*

2:32 am

rubyfoo

feel better, jilli!

2:33 am

Douglas

good night all...*poof*

2:36 am

rubyfoo

ya, half, now I can get dressed

2:36 am

rubyfoo

watch out for vipers!!!

2:36 am

rubyfoo

I am spooked

2:37 am

Christine

Pretty bird, Jillibus -- and goodnight.

2:41 am

helensgirlkid

Half at last - I can go to bed!

sandyloo

I have been to lunch today and just got home

5:27 am

sprite

5:28 am

sandyloo

5:28 am

sprite

awwww that is so special! Am happy for you. You deserve it.

5:28 am

sandyloo

are you ok? Ihaven't seen you lately

5:29 am

sprite

am ok. Just going to a pretty intense period of therapy. It is taking up a lot of my energy and I play babble at odd hours. Thanks for caring.

5:30 am

sandyloo

hope you are ok

5:31 am

sprite

yes I really am. It is tough but I can feel this is exactly what is needed now. Am positive, this will bring me closer to who I really am.

5:31 am

sandyloo

well just stay positive and remember how fabulous you are

5:31 am

sandyloo

and how clever

5:32 am

sprite

lol not fabulous nor clever, but yes, starting to feel I am worth being alive.

5:32 am

NonoNanette

good morning Babblers

5:32 am

sprite

hey Nanette :)

5:33 am

sandyloo

you know sprite you are fabulous and clever and you better start believing it - hi nan

5:34 am

sprite

thanks sandy :) I promise I'll try.

5:34 am

NonoNanette

i echo thos sentiments Sprite. Don't ever doubt yourself

5:34 am

sprite

thanks Nanette :)

5:35 am

MonkeyGames

I've met her in person and can attest to her fabulosity and cleverness. Hi folks. Sorry no new icon-- at work an dhad no time yet, will also be in and out of chat without warning.

5:35 am

NonoNanette

hi MG good to see you if only for a few moments

5:35 am

sprite

work comes first, MonkeyG. Thanks for the kind words. How is work?

5:37 am

MonkeyGames

Great. I really do get a lot of time to just do my own thing (and will start keeping up with the icosn again soon). Kind of creepy today; someone brought in a knife with blood on it wrapped in a newspaper from 1943, which he just found in his wall and really wanted out of his house. So now I have iut here at the reception desk in a big box...

5:37 am

sprite

that is very odd and creepy!

5:37 am

NonoNanette

oh my goodness thats creepy]

5:39 am

sprite

so what will happen now with the knife and newspaper?

5:40 am

NonoNanette

I wonder if it might help solve some crime that happened way back then?

5:40 am

sandyloo

Do you work at the police station monkey?

5:40 am

Frances

Hello sprite. Long time no see. How are you?

5:41 am

sprite

am good, Frances, and how are you?

5:41 am

NonoNanette

hi Frances

5:42 am

Frances

I'm good too thanks. Having a restful day off from cricket.

5:42 am

sprite

playing or watching or both?

5:43 am

Frances

Scoring.

5:44 am

sprite

cool!

5:44 am

Frances

I love it.

5:45 am

Frances

Did you see that I've at last put up a picture of my favourite hound?

5:45 am

sprite

ohhhhh omg he is sucking on a bib! That is so sweet.

5:45 am

sandyloo

is he a german short haired pointer?

5:46 am

Frances

He owns my granddaughter was a baby she refused to suck on a dummy and spat it out. He took over.

5:47 am

Frances

No he is a weimaraner/Hungarian vizsla cross.

5:47 am

sprite

you must have had quite a laugh at that

5:47 am

sandyloo

he looks beautiful

5:47 am

Frances

I still laugh at the picture - eight years later.

5:48 am

Frances

He is wonderful sandy. The most intelligent, calm dog I have ever known. Ellie adores him.

5:48 am

Frances

And he follows her around like a shadow.

5:48 am

sandyloo

we used to have a GSP that is why I asked

5:49 am

Frances

Yes, a lot of people think that too sandy.

5:49 am

sprite

the love is mutual then. So wonderful.

5:49 am

Frances

Oh yes.

5:49 am

sandyloo

ours was spotted and was very loyal to the family

5:50 am

Frances

They are very loyal and make wonderful companions.

5:51 am

Frances

I also love him to bits.

5:51 am

sprite

he is totally loveable, even from one pic.

5:52 am

Frances

Thank you sprite. He is a very affectionate dog.

5:52 am

sprite

ok this grid is a little tighter than last small one. Running out of words to try with 21 left.

5:53 am

sandyloo

those dogs are very attractive, I used to take ours riding with me

5:53 am

Frances

Need any clues sprite?

5:53 am

sandyloo

44 left here

5:53 am

sprite

oh no, not yet, thanks Frances. I love pushing my mind for so4 more words.

5:54 am

Frances

Sandy, Riz runs for hours in the forest. And I do mean hours.#

5:54 am

sandyloo

hounds can run for ages - I used to hunt and the foxhounds could run for 5 hours and still be energetic

5:55 am

sprite

that is amazing. So they need a LOT of excercise every day to keep them happy and healthy.

5:55 am

sandyloo

we used to chase kangaroos here and they move very fast - we only had one kill in 5 years

5:56 am

sandyloo

hope no activists are listening

5:56 am

Frances

Every year when the vet sees him for his checkup he asks if he can have him if ever my son gets fed up with him. He says he is the healthiest dog he has ever seen. He is ten next month.

5:57 am

sprite

wow Frances, that is a huge compliment!

5:57 am

Frances

Isn't it just sprite?

5:57 am

sandyloo

Hounds are not suitable for farm life as they are true hunters , but I wish they were, I would love another one- but they are true to their heritage

5:58 am

sprite

I like kangaroos, sandy, but I think most people who don't live with them do.

5:58 am

Frances

We always said that we would love to see him race a greyhound over a long distance. The greyhound would give up.

5:58 am

sprite

you could get together with lyn then.

5:59 am

Frances

Sounds like a good idea.

5:59 am

sandyloo

I love kangaroos too Sprite. We used to have joey's for pets when we were little - they are very cute and follow you around everywhere you go but kangaroos are amazing breeders and do a lot ofdamage to the farmers land...

5:59 am

sandyloo

and they jump over the fences so easily

6:00 am

sprite

yes that is what I meant when I said people who don't live with them. I know they can be a pest too. So no judgement from my part!

6:00 am

MonkeyGames

Oops, got busy here. I work at the Institute for War Documentation. The knife will be put into the objects collection in the cellars. The newspapers will be added to the newspapers collection unless we already have these editions.

6:00 am

sprite

am sure lyn would love the idea too :)

6:01 am

sprite

so no police involved, MonkeyG? Must remember, if I ever murder anyone, to put the weapon in a very old newspaper, grin.

6:01 am

NonoNanette

and hide it in the wall spirte!

6:01 am

Frances

Funny sprite.

6:02 am

MonkeyGames

Heehee! problem is, then you have to age it and the blood coinvincingly and make sure you sealed it inside a wall that has not been opened-- even by you-- in 65 years.

6:03 am

sprite

hah but I am not that silly. I would hide it in somebody else's wall of course ;)

6:03 am

NonoNanette

ah yes you must be clever about it :)

6:03 am

sprite

let them find it. No, just kidding. Must be a rather creepy thing to find.

6:04 am

MonkeyGames

Yeah, the guy really wanted to get rid of it ASAP, and I can't say as to how I blame him.

6:04 am

sandyloo

after all that time you might think that the rats had eaten the body

6:05 am

sprite

lol sany

6:05 am

MonkeyGames

The guy found it in a niche when he puilled out an old freezer unit and widened the gap for the new freeezer unit.

6:05 am

sprite

eeeewwwww

6:06 am

sandyloo

it probably was a murder weapon - why else would it be there

6:07 am

sandyloo

interesting controversy in perth at the moment - a butcher here has started to sell horse meat- he has received over 2000 nasty emails along with death threats!! I don't want to eat any but in Europe I believe it is commonplace

6:07 am

sprite

the problem is, there were so many murders in those years. It might have been a weapon from the resistance. But of course it could just as well have been a private thing. Scary.

6:08 am

Anniebrook

and to hide it in the wall behind the freezer lends to the mystery

6:08 am

sprite

most butchers here sell horse meat too

6:08 am

Anniebrook

and hello evryone

6:08 am

Anniebrook

*everyone

6:08 am

sprite

hey Annie :)

6:08 am

NonoNanette

hi Annie

6:08 am

Anniebrook

hi sprite and Nono

6:08 am

sandyloo

he is the only one in Perth - lots of butchers sell kangaroo meat

6:09 am

sandyloo

hi annie

6:09 am

Anniebrook

hi sandy

6:12 am

Anniebrook

will be back in a little while

6:12 am

sprite

bfn Annie *hugs*

6:14 am

MonkeyGames

Oops, back again now. Yes, certainly a murder weapon. That street was one of the densest hotspots of Nazi occupation, sadly. Whether someone killed a Nazi with it or was killed by one I do not know. Obviously we hope for the former...

6:15 am

sprite

must be the former, MonkeyG. No nazi had the need to hide his atrocities.

6:15 am

rubyfoo

hello again, just checking for snakes!

6:15 am

sandyloo

I hope it was the former

6:15 am

sprite

fireflies! Nice grid.

6:16 am

sprite

hi rubyfoo, most babblers aren't snakey at all.

6:16 am

sandyloo

no snakes here ruby, they go away in winter

6:16 am

MonkeyGames

Good point, Sprite!

6:18 am

hello and *poof* gotta keep pedalling!

8:02 am

Cheshire Badger

Well this looks a little more challenging than yesterday's puzzle. I think that one only took about 8 minutes...this looks better.

8:08 am

MonkeyGames

Could I get a clue for the i up there on the right?

8:08 am

City 17 dweller

nearer the middle, Monkey.

8:09 am

MonkeyGames

Hmmmm.... will think on that. Thanks!

8:09 am

Cheshire Badger

Monkey - it's a word that begins with a preposition

8:09 am

MonkeyGames

Ah, yes, dumb of me! Thanks!

8:10 am

City 17 dweller

yw ... not dumb at all; it's hard to remember to look for words over 4 letters in this grid!

8:12 am

MonkeyGames

I'm finding my last 20 to be unnecessarily truculent about revealing themselves. Plus people keep calling and coming in and I have to then do my job...

8:12 am

Cheshire Badger

the O is the hardest on there. Hope you all know your ancient history

8:13 am

MonkeyGames

I have all but one O. I tried olmen, but aparrently this word is anathema to enable; no surprise there.

8:14 am

Cheshire Badger

Ancient drink...not sure that'll help you unless you know the word...7 letters if that helps

8:16 am

MonkeyGames

It's not the 7, I have the 7, but thank youvery much.

8:18 am

Cheshire Badger

MonkeyGames

Woohoo!

8:24 am

City 17 dweller

what is going on with your work, Monkey? I caught something about war-time daggers earlier, but didn't get a chance to look back...

8:24 am

City 17 dweller

'grats, Cheshire

8:26 am

MonkeyGames

Well, it was a kitchen knife. I'm the receptionist at the Institute for War Documentation in Amsterdam, and it seems to be clean-out-the-sttic time because people just keep walking in today with stuff they think we might want to archive.

8:27 am

City 17 dweller

LOL, monkey... any undetonated munitions yet?

8:28 am

MonkeyGames

Not since I've worked here, but I know we have some schrapnel somewhere in the cellars. I was handed a Nazi medal once; talk about getting the creeps.

8:29 am

MonkeyGames

If I suddenly drop out of chat it'll be because teh guy with the outgoing mail has shown up down here and I have to take it to th epost office.

8:30 am

City 17 dweller

Yes, it must be hard to associate Nazi medals with valour, although realistically they must have awarded some for other than 'being great at being evil'.

8:32 am

City 17 dweller

oh, *sigh*... off to pb. Sorry.

8:34 am

City 17 dweller

... but not for long, finished and running off to get some gardening done between downpours. Happy Babbling, folks.

12:30 pm

crosshair

After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul, and you learn that love doesnâ€™t mean leaning and company doesnâ€™t mean security, and you begin to learn that kisses arenâ€™t contracts and presents arenâ€™t promises, and you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child, and you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrowâ€™s ground is too uncertain for plans. After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endureâ€¦ that you really are strong, and you really do have worth.â€

take us adults for example,we are as boring and dull as old cold dishwater.when we were young we were magical,we could be anything we wished with just a touch of imagination,a pirate,a explorer,a hunter of riches in the deepest amazon jungle.we could lay in some field all day and watch a anthill in action or turn a cardboard box into a rocket ship to the stars...somewhere along the way get get cleaned,schooled and taught to be responsible,and we get all the magic and wonder taught and groomed out of us....i try to keep a little of the child that i was in me,a part that never ages and can still dream of saving the world by flying to mars..so i try and revel in the wonder of the universe and the earth..even if it no more that to lean back for five minutes and watch an ant colony or dream of a rocket sip to the stars....lol crossy needs his meds it seems..do not get me going on us humans

Do you have a good hoe handy, Ruby - it is quite useful, and even if the edge is not sharp enough to cut the head off, you can hold a snake down (from a safe distance!) while other measure are brought to bear. (And good for DH!)

we used a pitchfork, a stick and a window washer, 3 of us for a 14@ snake!!! The waitress at lunch said she sees them all the time and stamps on them with her foot!!!!

12:49 pm

crosshair

lolo,one persons panic is anothers annoying pest

12:50 pm

helensgirlkid

WEll, she's right, it'll work - but you have to be awfully confident that you're faster than the snake!

12:50 pm

rubyfoo

their bite isn't usually fatal to people, but kills animals and is very painful. I'm getting an anti-venom kit from the druggist as I'm totally spooked now, afraid to water the garden in my sandals

12:51 pm

helensgirlkid

Ask if the anti-venom is safe for dogs, while you're at it.

12:51 pm

rubyfoo

I think there must be a nest and they came into the studio to cool off!

12:51 pm

crosshair

if it is a wide spread and highly populated type of snake,a kit cannot hurt

12:51 pm

rubyfoo

How would you find the bite on a long-haired dog?

12:52 pm

rubyfoo

Evidently there are a lot of them and they come down from the mountains and cliffs above us when it is this hot. These are the first snakes I've seen in our 12 summers here

12:52 pm

crosshair

well it is also a hotter than normal summer?

12:53 pm

Magyk

clue for oi6 pls?

12:53 pm

rubyfoo

I don't think they're aggressive, but the idea of stomping on one is horrible. What if it bit your foot? AAAArgh!

12:53 pm

rubyfoo

yes, much hotter

12:53 pm

rubyfoo

and dryer

12:54 pm

Kazzer99

ooray - fireworks

12:54 pm

crosshair

yaa for kazz

12:54 pm

helensgirlkid

If you think the dog has been bitten, the atni-venom doesn't have to go near the bite - if that's the point of your question. But it does raise the iissue of - if you don't actually know the dog has been bitten, is it dangerous to give the anti-venom because the dog is acting sort of the way you would expect if it had been bitten.

12:55 pm

helensgirlkid

Just got that pesky oi7 - FIREWORKS!

12:55 pm

Magyk

may I have a clue for the oi6 & 7 pls?

12:55 pm

helensgirlkid

What was your worst one, kazz?

12:55 pm

rubyfoo

it's a horrible thought and DH was afraid the dog would try to eat one of the dead snakes or investigate a half-dead one

12:56 pm

Kazzer99

nite all - friday nite off to annoy the hubby

12:56 pm

rubyfoo

congrats on fireworks, helens

12:56 pm

helensgirlkid

12:56 pm

msideb01

Love is a temporary madness; it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of eternal passion. That is just being in love, which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Those that truly love have roots that grow towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms have fallen from their branches, they find that they are one tree and not two...pretty thought for the day

1:06 pm

Magyk

I love it Crossy!!

1:59 pm

ChrissieDee

2:00 pm

I think!

2:14 pm

well if ata doesn't know, who would?

2:15 pm

Atalante

:D

2:15 pm

Nef

God afternoon, fellow Babblers. How are you all today?

2:16 pm

Nef

oh dear, that was GOOD, not god!

2:16 pm

Dorens

hot and sweaty - just polished brass for an hour or two... and god only knows when it was done last!

2:16 pm

Dorens

and you?

2:17 pm

Nef

hanging in here. I was supposed to have a "grandma day today with my grandson, but the DIL messed up again.

2:17 pm

Nef

BUT I don't want to talk about her.

2:18 pm

Dorens

oh, disappointing i'm sure...

2:18 pm

JBV

hi doren and hi nef

2:18 pm

Dorens

cool, thenwe won't.. but you can brag about your grandson if you want... is he one year old now?

2:18 pm

Atalante

can't be as annoying as husband who managed to lock me IN the house this morning, and then blamed me for him doing so!!

2:18 pm

Dorens

hi jbv. been going down to sandy hook this summer and think of you as i pass perth amboy.. is that where you work?

2:19 pm

Nef

yep. I love being with the grandson, and my "adopted" grandkids moved so they aren't next door anymore. :-(

2:19 pm

JBV

worked! I retired on June 30! Still can't believe it!

2:19 pm

Dorens

he can blame you for anything ata, you are hisfmitch

2:19 pm

Nef

hi JBV

2:19 pm

Dorens

oh yes!!! congratulations to you .. must feel wonderful

2:19 pm

Atalante

I know!! LOL!

2:20 pm

Nef

YAY for retirement, JBV!!!

2:20 pm

JBV

it's still like a dream - i'm enjoying the freedom to do what I want, or do nothing, etc. - it's great!

2:20 pm

Dorens

j - i'm in the process of purchasing service credit... did you know that as of november 08 out-of-state credit cannot be applied toward health insurance minimum of 25 years?

2:21 pm

JBV

and it's funny how things work out - I got my first big project on the very day I retired - it has to do with the incredible family reunion we are experiencing (see my profile) - I am now studying Italian so we can really communicate

2:21 pm

Nef

WHAT the heck, Dorens? That's terrible!

2:21 pm

JBV

that's bad news, doren - the only way I could retire this year was because I bought back 10 years of service from NYC and of course it counted

2:21 pm

Dorens

i would think the reality of retirement would hit in september. even though you were in adm and probably worked during summers..

2:22 pm

JBV

yes, I think you're right, September will be another big reality check

2:22 pm

Dorens

if I'd known, of course i would have purchased it two or three years ago. what bugs me most is that i don't think the union made us aware... can't believe i wouldn't have purchased then if i'd known, particularly since you can pay by rolling over tax deferred funds

2:23 pm

Nef

I'm now toying with the idea of retirement myself. DH's health isn't good and I'm not doing the best job in my workplace right now. I'd retire for sake of my sanity

2:23 pm

JBV

but if you apply now will you still fall under the old rules?

2:23 pm

JBV

that's an excellent reason, Nef - one I can definitely identify with

2:24 pm

Dorens

no. it is very clear on the pension website... if you apply AFTER nov. 08 it doesn't count towards med ins. but it does count toward the pension formula... i'd rather have it the other way around.

2:25 pm

Dorens

nef, do you have required amount of time, etc.

2:25 pm

JBV

one of my determining factors was the chaotic situation left after all the staff cuts this year - it would have seriously impacted my ability to do my job the way I am accustomed to doing it - well, that is

2:26 pm

Dorens

exactly, j... very good reason.
IF i get my job back, it is for two schools, rather than one... more than twice the amount of work... no way i can do that job properly.. will always be behind and lacking

2:27 pm

JBV

it's so unfair, doren, the really dedicated people were already doing more than 100%, so how can they be expected to do more?

2:27 pm

periwinkle

hey all

2:28 pm

Dorens

by the way j, i had read about your italian adventure previously... sounds so exciting.. and i'm sure that brushing up on your italian can't be nearly as challenging as learning mandarin

2:28 pm

JBV

I had a staff of 4 people directly reporting to me, two retired and were not replaced, so the other two will be sharing the work - exactly as you said, doren, impossible!

2:28 pm

periwinkle

has anyone heard from Rive, have been thinking of her her her son all day

2:28 pm

periwinkle

River

2:28 pm

Dorens

did you see that now christie is going after superintendent's salaries?

2:28 pm

periwinkle

yikes, cannot type at all today

2:28 pm

JBV

well, mandarin has been temporarily shelved, as I'm really into the Italian right now - in fact, today we had our first Skype phone call ! so amazing and incredible = and I actually did it!

2:29 pm

Dorens

so lots of superintendents will be retiring next year, i'm sure. schools will be even more chaotic..

2:29 pm

JBV

yes, I saw that in today's paper

2:29 pm

Dorens

the italian must be gratifying on so many levels

2:30 pm

periwinkle

Yikes, Dorens, your icon is scary

2:30 pm

JBV

doren my feelings are so intense I can't even put them into words right now but it's wonderful

2:30 pm

Dorens

did you ever read the lost ravioli recipes of hoboken (not sure of the title)? one of my book groups chose it last summer... i just noticed my copy of it and wondered who to give it to... I think you'd like it

2:30 pm

Nef

Dorens, I "retired" from hospital nursing 4 years ago actually pushed out - because I had an OTJ injury and can't be on my feet for more than 2 hours/day. I now manage a prenatal clinic in a pregnancy crisis center; so I still work as a nurse but not for much $$ and I don't have to be on my feet any length of time

2:30 pm

Dorens

oh peri, it's far more scary when you see it sitting on the toilet paper in your bathroom

2:30 pm

JBV

no, that sounds interesting, I'll definitely put it on my reading list -

2:30 pm

Nef

Sorry, had a phone call in between

2:31 pm

periwinkle

I bet it is, Dorens, how big are they?

2:31 pm

Dorens

if you want to meet at sandyhook sometime next week, i'll give you mine

2:31 pm

Dorens

couple inches... .the body is about two, but the legs and antennae make it seem like five

2:32 pm

Dorens

nef, do you want to retire?

2:32 pm

periwinkle

I just finished a book you folks might like: The Gastromony of Marriage, a memoir of food and love, it was written by an Italian American who is planning to marry a Chinese American and how they not only blend their lifestyles but their cooking styles as well.

2:32 pm

Dorens

the lady in the book travels to italy and connects with family on a quest for a recipe...

2:33 pm

Dorens

now we're reading atlas shrugged... just over 1,000 pages! don't know why we're doing this honestly

2:33 pm

Dorens

orle

2:33 pm

periwinkle

this book has 236 papges and is fast reading

2:33 pm

Dorens

oh sorry,thought i'd try a word for a change... hope there's something good in the PB

2:34 pm

JBV

peri, that sounds definitely like my type of book, adding it to the list!

2:34 pm

Dorens

italian and chinese cooking do blend well... think marco polo

2:34 pm

periwinkle

the author is Michelle Maisto

2:35 pm

Nef

Dorens, I LOVE nursing and my work. I loved working in ICU even more; but hated telephone triage. This job and the people I work with are great; it's the stress of being a non-profit, no money, and worrying about DH that is tough

2:35 pm

Dorens

sometimes when you have stress at home, a job can be helpful... depends on the situation and the person.

2:35 pm

periwinkle

well I retired in 2007 and am on a fixed income. I had a small pension which was wiped out in 2008. now living with my sister and her husband

2:36 pm

Dorens

what did you do before retiring peri?

2:37 pm

periwinkle

medical social worker, worked in hospitals, skilled nursing facilities and actue rehab center for people witt strokes, etc

2:37 pm

periwinkle

2:38 pm

Jellen

2:38 pm

Dorens

2:39 pm

Jellen

2:39 pm

Dorens

when my dad lived with me i had to do all sorts of stuff that you really kind of don't want to do. it was hard

2:40 pm

periwinkle

being the caregiver is not an easy job. I did it with my youngest sister

2:40 pm

Jellen

My dad hired people to do that stuff so we didn't have to...

Scramble is a word game on facebook

4:25 pm

Magyk

4:25 pm

Soodle

The contents of the kitchen bin holds a particular fascination for him. He rootles in the bin and comes up with all sorts of unsavoury toys.... sigh

4:25 pm

4:35 pm

Jellen

Started watching a DVD...Castle (the TV series)

4:39 pm

Soodle

Jellen,I was saying, before I was so rudely interrupted by your God-dog.... Yes. You will be expected to look after the dog's moral welfare (!!) and pay for its education, and goodness knows what else. Are you sure you are up for the challenge? (Of course, being on another continent relieves you of some of your obligations...) lol

4:40 pm

lynxxx

Do you have the weekend to yourself Jellen?

4:40 pm

Jellen

lol

4:40 pm

Jellen

No, Tim's mom, step-dad, and possibly his 9-year-old niece will be here...

4:41 pm

Jellen

However, I have scheduled mani-pedi and a short massage for tomorrow...

4:42 pm

lynxxx

Wow, are they driving down the 700(?) miles each weekend? Good for you!

4:43 pm

Jellen

300 miles...no, I think this will do it for a while...

4:43 pm

Soodle

Yay. Good for you, Jellen. You deserve a little pampering. I hope you enjoy it. ((()))

4:43 pm

Jellen

Can't believe they're bringing a child, though...

4:44 pm

Soodle

Maybe theres method in their madness?

4:45 pm

Jellen

I think they want to make sure she sees him while he's feeling okay...

4:46 pm

Soodle

Its a tough call, no matter what.

4:47 pm

Soodle

How are you coping, Jean? Are you bearing up?

4:47 pm

Jellen

Doing pretty well today...

4:48 pm

7:13 pm

redturtlehead

doubt it minver, I am trying to stay awake, bot not very successful...

7:14 pm

Shivs Fitz

Yes... red and white. Of course you love your dog. :o) Can't agree they're the absolute best kind to have, though... as we have a Border Collie cross (mostly BC) we love to bits, who I wouldn't trade him for world! ;o) One of the best, I'll give you that... think our own dogs are always the best, to us! ;o)

7:15 pm

Shivs Fitz

Ack, LOL!! "Who I wouldn't trade for all the world." I was changing it from "And I wouldn't trade him for the world"... not sure what happened there. LOL! :oP

7:17 pm

Minveryork

I'm not a dog person & I never thought I'd ever have a dog, but we unexpectedly got this dog.I do think if I had a pitbull,german shepard, or terrier, I wouldn't like it even if it was mine.I am very picky about dogs

7:19 pm

Shivs Fitz

Oh... I'm not, because I love dogs! I've always been a doggy person... it's the soul and personality that matters most to me, as with people. :o) I could love any nice dog... or cat. We have one of those, too.

7:21 pm

redturtlehead

i've wanted to have a cat or two, but space dictates it is jst the dog and I.

7:21 pm

Shivs Fitz

We could take on another cat, if ours didn't think he should be the only cat on Earth! :oP

7:21 pm

Minveryork

I have always considered myself to be a cat person.I grew up w/cats&dogs. Now I cannot get a cat since dog would probably scare it, but that is ok because I love my dog. Don't even want to get a right cat now.

7:50 pm

Minveryork

Some thought it was hard, but it is not bad with a list

7:50 pm

Minveryork

Hi cbr1965! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

Thanks Minveryork!

7:52 pm

Minveryork

Now that I am do 4/5 with grid, I can do my story of clues. I am sure mo4/5 of you are already finished or mo6/27 do4/5, but just in case so4/5 aren't do 4/5, here is a story of clues. My hubby always gives me fl 4/11 about babbling & he sees several fl4/11s in this game, however, I LOVE babble & revel in the gl 5/18 of fireworks.Sometimes he's a ro4/4 pain in the arse Hubby plays that ro 4/4 very well. Husband is no 4/6 and tries to see if I'm meeting any guys in the chat.I always tell him "od4/6 are I am not".Word games are not hubby's st5/14. Husband would rather he4/6 the farm on Farmville & grow things like le 5/12s & other fruits and vegetables. Fortunately hubby and I don't play games that cost mo 5/16. Now I am going go wa 4/12 to the refrigerator to look for a snack & then I am going to go lay w/my dog as he no4/5 off to sleep

7:53 pm

dofith
