Not true -- copy into a spreadsheet (the word, the number of letters and the points go into 3 columns. then insert a column after the word. Then write a formula in the first line after the word" =left(A1,2)" and copy the formula all the way down. Voila you have 3 columns with first 2 letters, length, points

5:34 am

herinfernallady

My friend is pro liberal. I told him Sorry to be rude but I hope not. I remember being forced to sign an AWA I remember schools being shut down and I don't want a man in power that thinks that immigration should be shut off and women should have babies to support the populous. Also not forgetting the toilet situation of the health system.

5:40 am

herinfernallady

gees just go all quiet on me

5:41 am

Soodle

Morning all. A 258-er, and no Lickety! I am doomed! Hi Herin.....and is your friend still your friend?

5:41 am

herinfernallady

Hi Soodle

5:41 am

herinfernallady

Soodle he is like my brother. I think he can cope

5:42 am

herinfernallady

As long as I have a proper argument it is all good

5:42 am

Soodle

Thats the sign of a true friendship..... You can have a 'Frank and robust' exchange of views, and still be mates. :-)

5:43 am

herinfernallady

As long as I don't do the ''well the party you support are dicks'' it is all good

5:44 am

Soodle

At least your having your argument on FB. Rows about politics and religeon should never be held in pubs. Not in this country, anyway!!

5:45 am

herinfernallady

Soodle we have the agreement no politics and such

5:46 am

herinfernallady

I also have been pointing out to certain16 year olds that posting on FB that you got trashed at a party is not a brilliant idea

5:46 am

Soodle

Good Plan, Herin! Whats the weather like in your part of the world?

5:46 am

herinfernallady

cold

5:47 am

herinfernallady

I have resorted to burying my self under a blanket as we can't afford to have teh heater on over 2

5:47 am

herinfernallady

opps 20

5:47 am

Soodle

Our weather forecasters were predicting a heatwave. I booked the week off work, and now its very warm, but low cloud, and no sun. I am disgusted.

5:47 am

herinfernallady

alts

5:48 am

carleekat

sorry was away for abit...am back now... its actually cool here today..we have had a heatwave but it is gone

5:48 am

herinfernallady

O Soodle you got ripped off

5:48 am

Soodle

I know!! But I am mentally geared up for a week off, so no way am I going to go into work tomorrow.

5:49 am

herinfernallady

Soddle our heater costs have risen to such an extent it is now a choice between blanket and no blanket

5:50 am

Soodle

Lol. Its like that here, Herin. We all huddle around a candle. When it gets REALLY cold, we light it!!!

5:50 am

carleekat

same here herin... we now pay by time of day...so from 7 am to 5 pm..i cannot run large appliances

5:50 am

herinfernallady

snort Soodle. We are lucky that we have $$$.

5:50 am

herinfernallady

Carlee that sounds so silly.

5:51 am

herinfernallady

We have a hot water system on electric.

5:51 am

carleekat

well..i can if i want to pay 3ple the rate

5:51 am

Soodle

Hmm. Triple rate - that would certainly encourage you to wait till the evening...

5:53 am

dofith

We've just had a reverse cycle air con put in - my first warm winter! Not looking forward to the power bill, though!

5:53 am

herinfernallady

I am harrasing the b.f about sorting the hot water tank out

5:54 am

dofith

carlee, I hate to think what you must pay for heating in a cold climate like yours

5:54 am

Soodle

I have an old-fashioned solid-fuel cooker in my kitchen, which I only light during the winter. It heats the water and the whole house. It is brilliant.

5:55 am

dofith

rine

5:55 am

carleekat

heating for me is natural gas

5:55 am

sprite

good afternoon all

5:55 am

herinfernallady

Hi Sprite

5:55 am

carleekat

hi there sprite

5:55 am

Soodle

Hello Sprite ((()))

5:55 am

dofith

Good evening, sprite

5:56 am

dofith

So what would heating cost you per year, roughly?

5:56 am

herinfernallady

great now being slightly loud and irrate = yelling twat

5:56 am

herinfernallady

who wants my b.f

5:56 am

sprite

{{{{{Soodle!}}}}} {{{{{{{{lady}}}}}}
Hey carlee, dofith, how is the grid going?

5:56 am

carleekat

i am budgetted at 100.00 cdn/ month for gas..but that also hot water tank fuel

5:56 am

carleekat

or about 125.00 cdn sorry

5:57 am

carleekat

i keep my house set at about 68f

5:57 am

herinfernallady

Our gas bill for 56 days was just sort of $400

5:57 am

dofith

How does a $cdn compare with a $US?

5:57 am

Soodle

Crikey Herin - are you heating the whole state?

5:57 am

herinfernallady

no just our house which is small

5:58 am

carleekat

but of course in summer months...i am barely using that... yet still paying 125...i would use maybe 35/ m onth from may-oct

5:58 am

herinfernallady

hence my bitchy tirade just now

5:58 am

dofith

That sounds about the same, herin - ours is a bit less, but it's warmer here.

5:58 am

carleekat

it fluctuates herin...fairly close to par about now...give or take a cent or 2

5:58 am

herinfernallady

It has been sooooooooo cold

5:59 am

jmcnrick

hi all

5:59 am

carleekat

define so cold herin???I am curious what cold is to you there

5:59 am

dofith

Yes, coldest winter I can recall for a while. Too dry.

5:59 am

Soodle

You know what? I have no idea how much I pay. The bills come in, the money goes out...... If I were to sit down and work it out, I probably would have a he6/21!

5:59 am

dofith

lol, carlee - you'd just laugh at us!

6:00 am

herinfernallady

it has been about 10C for a month

6:00 am

carleekat

as I do not turn on my heater until it is down to freezing at night...and only going up to 15c by day....and typically from nov-mar it is -10C with it going as low as -30c for a week or so

6:01 am

dofith

Nothing like the below freezing they're used to in Canada!

6:01 am

carleekat

yet in summer...well we have had a month of 30-35 C

6:01 am

dofith

Don't do it, Soodle - just enjoy the warm!

6:01 am

carleekat

i truly see ALl the seasons here..and today feels early fallish

6:02 am

herinfernallady

THis winter is the coldest it has been for a few years. One day it stayed about 6C

6:02 am

dofith

Are you inland, carlee? What province?

6:02 am

herinfernallady

Hi Dorens and Une

8:05 am

72 Temple Owl

i have two out front, second or third year. they are trying to jump out of the earth, by the look of them. flattening out , too

8:05 am

Dorens

oh une, it was a shame... i hit bad traffic and hadn't allowed myself enough time, so I got there too late. fortunately i had my book with me so I sipped iced coffee and read my book... will go back in for the film another day

ty for those words une.. and hi everyone else

8:06 am

sukee

What does the 11 start with?

8:06 am

72 Temple Owl

8:07 am

Uneaixoise

gotta run pick up soup kitchen food at Whole Foods -- BBL -- byeee

8:07 am

Dorens

une is a real gardner une... ask her!!

8:07 am

Uneaixoise

8:07 am

Uneaixoise

8:07 am

72 Temple Owl

une do you know?

8:07 am

Uneaixoise

this time last year I had over 80 magic lilies and right now I've only got 10 :-(

8:08 am

Dorens

people up here with automatic sprinklers have beautiful gardens... they ignore the drought warnings

8:08 am

72 Temple Owl

8:08 am

Uneaixoise

8:08 am

Uneaixoise

8:08 am

Uneaixoise

8:08 am

72 Temple Owl

they appear to be pushing out of the earth . this is their third summer

8:09 am

Anniebrook

8:09 am

Uneaixoise

coneflowers are usually pretty self-sustaining

8:09 am

72 Temple Owl

8:09 am

Uneaixoise

"Please Give"

8:09 am

Uneaixoise

Anniebrook

8:11 am

Anniebrook

bye Une, good deed

8:11 am

herinfernallady

I should have easily found that Sl 8/9 just talking to a friend about these 16 year old girls today

8:14 am

72 Temple Owl

i have NEVER heard that word used as a derogatory term for a woman.it's not in the urban dictionary either. where do you all hang around?

8:16 am

Dorens

as an adverb

8:16 am

Anniebrook

sl 8 ---just looked it up...slovenly untidy woman, harlot, sl4

8:16 am

sukee

i think it might be Shakespeare? or old English?

8:16 am

Dorens

definitely read it in old en

8:16 am

dan2bit

herin! nice to see you in the grid today

8:16 am

Dorens

English books... Dickens?

8:17 am

72 Temple Owl

it appears to have other definitions. i don't know, as women why perpetuate the words men use to put us down.

8:18 am

herinfernallady

Hi Dan

8:18 am

bonkler

deperpetuate the language

8:18 am

Anniebrook

there is a sa8 that of course has nothing to do with sl 8

8:19 am

72 Temple Owl

dan, i thought of you all yesterday. radiolab on NPR had some fascinating stuff on how newborns perceive the world. i'm going to post on fb

8:20 am

dan2bit

sounds cool, TO! I am reading Proust & the Squid on my commute these days - all about development of the reading brain

8:20 am

72 Temple Owl

basically the brain waves show that they may hear shapes and see sounds!

8:20 am

Dorens

not finding an sa 8 annie... clue please?

8:21 am

bonkler

just to be a brat, my nana used the sl8/9 term to upbraid my sister in her rebellious stage. my read was that it was a term used by snooty women to castigate those they felt were of lesser class or virtue.

8:21 am

72 Temple Owl

at least by how their brains light up

8:21 am

Anniebrook

plural of sa7

8:22 am

Dorens

i have two sa 7's that don't pluralize, will have to keep working

8:22 am

Anniebrook

dorens..sa 4 and a bird

8:22 am

dan2bit

wow TO that's cool - apparently there is also a brain shift around 9 months that "settles" the language center - before that, all babies are polyglots

8:23 am

Dorens

ty, got it annie

8:23 am

Anniebrook

youre welcome

8:23 am

herinfernallady

O Dan can I make a recomendation

8:23 am

72 Temple Owl

it IS! also when they look adoringly at you at that young age, it's because they can't look away

8:28 am

hurshy

unless they have autism

8:29 am

herinfernallady

Hi Hursy

8:31 am

72 Temple Owl

hmm they did not mention that. damn those liberal npr news folks

8:31 am

hurshy

well, if you're doing a report on normal newborn behavior, you're not going to talk about every possible aberration.

8:31 am

hurshy

why would you?

8:32 am

72 Temple Owl

o fcourse. one could not possbly do that. is your degree in child devlep,kent, hurshy?

8:32 am

herinfernallady

Because Autism and brain issues are not the norm that would be a different study

8:32 am

hurshy

no, but i lived with an autistic woman for a summer - her mom had written a book about it - i ended up learning about it

8:33 am

dan2bit

Proust & the Squid also goes into the area of dyslexia

8:33 am

72 Temple Owl

ah, i see

8:33 am

72 Temple Owl

time to get moving,

jmcnrick

m9f9l

9:48 am

NonoNanette

9:48 am

gremlinn

jmcnrick

i learned a new swahili word today that sounds like a babblet

9:51 am

m9f9l

jmc...state of being

9:51 am

jmcnrick

is there just 3 new letters attached to the pe8?

9:51 am

gremlinn

yeah

9:51 am

periwinkle

yes jmc

9:52 am

gremlinn

oddly, one of the definitions of the pe11 is "A book or set of church rules concerning the sacrament of [spoiler]" - which means it should pluralize to a pe12 in the grid as well

9:52 am

jmcnrick

okay that is a finite number for my monkeys

9:53 am

periwinkle

hello

9:53 am

gremlinn

you'll need to make the pe8 part use the upper I for it to fit

9:53 am

periwinkle

ty gremlinn for the list

9:53 am

gremlinn

no problem

9:53 am

ren8

Hi peri

9:54 am

periwinkle

nice welcome, tytyty

9:54 am

periwinkle

help with ae7 pls

9:55 am

gremlinn

I had trouble seeing the ni7 (found it second-to-last) because of the odd twistiness in the grid

9:55 am

NonoNanette

use the eo 6 if you have it peri

9:55 am

gremlinn

ae + vowel + backwards of a pointy piece of metal

9:55 am

periwinkle

don;t have the eo6 or ni7

9:56 am

periwinkle

ty will look

9:56 am

gremlinn

9:57 am

periwinkle

9:57 am

jmcnrick

sigh my phantom today is saint

9:58 am

gremlinn

I was going to go with the word "neapolitan" but it's not in the dictionary (proper noun, maybe)

9:59 am

gremlinn

also, "fantail"

9:59 am

dolf smudgen

ta-n not connected

9:59 am

gremlinn

I know, but that would have been my phantom for today

9:59 am

dolf smudgen

aah

9:59 am

jmcnrick

hi dolf

10:00 am

dolf smudgen

hi

10:00 am

NonoNanette

hi folf

10:00 am

jmcnrick

not being connected is what makes it a phantom

10:00 am

Boobear

hi all

10:00 am

dolf smudgen

*filing away in brain*

10:00 am

gremlinn

various words like "penalties", "litanies", and "polities" are almost there as well - if the upper-left H were an S there'd be quite a few more long words

10:00 am

jmcnrick

hi boo

10:01 am

gremlinn

not to mention that it would provide plurals for all the -er words

10:01 am

jmcnrick

*gets out flash like to peek in dolf's files for useful information**

10:01 am

jmcnrick

*light

10:01 am

NonoNanette

hi Boo

10:01 am

Kaplan the Magne

Oughtn't you now be in the PB? Is that grammatical?

10:01 am

dolf smudgen

they still got security holes in that thing?

10:01 am

jmcnrick

hard typing in the dark

10:02 am

Kaplan the Magne

for saying pe***ties.

10:02 am

gremlinn

no, doesn't count that way, as far as I know

10:02 am

jmcnrick

somes says it does and somes says it doesn't

10:03 am

gremlinn

I think it should only be if you accidentally post the word here when trying to guess it. If it happens to occur in your sentence, then pointing out you should go to the PB only makes it *more* likely someone will have the word spoiled.

10:03 am

Kaplan the Magne

I've seen people thrown in the clink for less than that!

10:03 am

jmcnrick

lol i have gone to the pb for many a sentence i have typed!

10:04 am

jmcnrick

half the fun is spying it in something someone has written

10:04 am

gremlinn

although it makes the chat an interesting instance of "Taboo"

10:04 am

m9f9l

but the word he typed isn't on the grid

10:04 am

NonoNanette

most of end up there a lot when Peri is in the grid LOL

10:04 am

m9f9l

ah..I see. part of it is.

10:04 am

gremlinn

it contained a substring which was a word in the grid

10:04 am

Kaplan the Magne

Yup.

10:04 am

crosshair

i tend to agree gremlin

10:04 am

jmcnrick

part of it is a full word on the grid so some would count that

10:05 am

Riverdance

I dont know - most words have a substring of something in the grid

10:05 am

m9f9l

yes some would.

10:05 am

gremlinn

"it's not my intent to go to the PB" - would that count?

10:05 am

Kaplan the Magne

right again. I have been PBd for that. Must have been a fascist court.

10:05 am

jmcnrick

lol works for me grem!

10:05 am

Boobear

My Mother had a small stroke yesterday and she is in the hospital

10:06 am

gremlinn

or how about "I live on the West Coast" ?

10:06 am

gremlinn

both of those contain words in the grid

10:06 am

Riverdance

Oh sorry to hear that Boo

10:06 am

10:10 am

redturtlehead

10:10 am

Nancy Boy

Ohhh, glad to hear you had a good time :) will you be seeing him again, do you tink?

10:10 am

Nancy Boy

Boobear

10:10 am

jmcnrick

10:11 am

Nancy Boy

M9 asking what we all want to know ;)

10:11 am

Riverdance

you poor think Jac

10:11 am

Atalante

NB, NB, NB ... do you know any pubs in central London that serve vegan food??

10:11 am

Jacula

BBS. Got vegs to prepare (sitting down, of course).

10:11 am

NonoNanette

hi NB did not see you pop in

10:11 am

redturtlehead

He has invited me to come and see videos with him and his son next weekend, (Son lives with him, spends 3 weekends a month with Mom.) and also possibly the Aquarium, and canoeing in Septermber.

10:11 am

NonoNanette

Jac what did you do?

10:11 am

jmcnrick

yikes what happened jac?

10:11 am

m9f9l

that sounds great red

10:11 am

redturtlehead

He looks alright, I already knew what he looked like. Not a sharp dresser. I think clothing and men are hard.

10:12 am

m9f9l

you seem cold-feetish. I'm wondering where that is coming from?? can you pinpoint it?

10:12 am

redturtlehead

He definitely could use some help in the clothing department, Nancy!

10:12 am

m9f9l

surely it's not his clothes!

10:12 am

redturtlehead

Well, i just met him. He seems ready to jump in feet first, and I am quite happy with my life, so I am never sure if rearranging everything is wise.

10:13 am

Nancy Boy

oh nooo. what was he wearing?

10:13 am

redturtlehead

No clothing can be changed. I would have preferre dhim to just wear jeans and a polo shirt, instead of whatever that was he wore.

10:13 am

jmcnrick

geeze you are just watching videos and canoeing with him

10:13 am

NonoNanette

just take it slow, red. Don't let him rush you

10:13 am

redturtlehead

Black pants and some sort of shirt that resembles a hawaiian shirt but not a hawaiian pattern...

10:13 am

jmcnrick

what did he wear?

10:14 am

Erda

No Lickety???

10:14 am

m9f9l

sounds like he tried to dress up. that's nice!

10:14 am

jmcnrick

hate black pants but love hawaiian shirts

10:14 am

NonoNanette

no Erda, but there is a list on gremlinn's profile and also on Bab anon'

10:14 am

m9f9l

Erda, grem and jac have list at their profiles

10:15 am

jmcnrick

hate black pants but love hawaiian shirts

10:15 am

redturtlehead

If it had been hawaiian, but it was sort of black and white striped. I think he was trying to hide his belly, which is really not huge.

10:15 am

jmcnrick

hic

10:15 am

Erda

Thank you, m9f9l

10:15 am

jmcnrick

lol and you were worried about your weight!

10:16 am

m9f9l

or maybe he wasn't trying anything and he just thought it was the nicest shirt he had to go meet a nice woman.

10:16 am

redturtlehead

Not huge.

10:16 am

m9f9l

is he funny?

10:16 am

Atalante

maybe it's his lucky shirt :P

10:16 am

redturtlehead

I have not idea. but he is very nice, comes fro a nice family. I am not the best dater, soooo...we shall see what happens.

10:16 am

redturtlehead

He was not particularly funny, but I think he must have been very nervous too...

10:16 am

m9f9l

LOL ata!!!

10:17 am

m9f9l

wow red. I've never heard someone work so hard at being noncommital!LOL

10:17 am

redturtlehead

I am funny. Plus he lives 1.5 hrs away so its a lot of driving.

10:18 am

jmcnrick

so don't see him often

10:18 am

Riverdance

but arent you worth it red

10:18 am

Mom

morning all.
I hate first dates. Every date should have a practice date before hand to get rid of the nervousness

10:19 am

m9f9l

yeah but red, you have to realise it's not easy for a man with a child to meet a nice, normal woman who's not already attached to someone!

10:19 am

redturtlehead

We'll just see how things play out....Probably would help if I was not just feeling so tired.

10:19 am

Atalante

just don't overanalyse it all :)

10:19 am

m9f9l

hi {{{mom}}}

10:19 am

redturtlehead

Indeed, especially since his child lives with him. I like children, so it's not an issue. at my age, everyone but me has children!

10:19 am

m9f9l

who so tired?

10:19 am

Mom

{{M9}} good morning

10:20 am

jmcnrick

hi mom

10:20 am

redturtlehead

me so tired. I had a race yesterday, no nap, then stayed up late on a date and had to go running in the heat this morning....

10:20 am

Mom

Hi Jmcnrick

10:20 am

m9f9l

that's right! the race!

10:21 am

jmcnrick

so how did the phone call turn into a date?

10:21 am

redturtlehead

My schedule stinks, I only have my schedule up through AUg 7th. Sooo, we couldn't find a date that worked, he said, how about tonight....

10:22 am

redturtlehead

I sure would have likes to get a haircut!

10:22 am

jmcnrick

lol sometimes it is better to just jump in!

10:23 am

redturtlehead

yes, it was not bad. and the flowers are very pretty....

10:23 am

m9f9l

what kind of flowers?

10:23 am

jmcnrick

he brought flowers? how sweet

10:23 am

Nancy Boy

No 'fenians'? Sometimes I wonder why I bothered with a history A Level..

10:23 am

Shirlockc

he brought flowers, red? he's really trying

10:23 am

jmcnrick

(i would have prefered a bottle of wine)

10:24 am

m9f9l

<<<loves flowers!

10:24 am

jmcnrick

aren't fenians a proper noun?

10:24 am

redturtlehead

I don't drink jmc, so wine would have been awkward, and as it turns out he doesn't either.

10:24 am

Atalante

NB, NB, NB ... do you know any pubs in central London that serve vegan food??

10:24 am

m9f9l

good thing he wasn't taking you out then jmc!LOL

10:24 am

redturtlehead

I preferred the flowers, they are fresias.

10:25 am

m9f9l

there's a place in Portland, OR that makes awesome vegan benedict. sigh.

10:25 am

Atalante

ooooo yum

10:25 am

m9f9l

you both don't drink. that's nice.

10:26 am

redturtlehead

Yum indeed.

10:26 am

m9f9l

and their home potatoes are fab too

10:26 am

PinnyPoppins

Ata - it's not a pub as such, but check out http://www.inspiralled.net/

10:26 am

jmcnrick

oh well in that case the freesia are very nice -- my bridal bouquet was freesia

10:26 am

redturtlehead

Yeah, it's odd. I just stopped several years ago and he did the same. Not an alcohol problem, we just stopped.

10:26 am

m9f9l

ahhh.. it's meant to be. ;-)

10:26 am

jmcnrick

i understand -- it's what i did with sugar

10:27 am

m9f9l

you did jmc!?!?!?

10:27 am

m9f9l

I'm so impressed

10:27 am

Riverdance

at least it wasnt the wine jmc

10:28 am

jmcnrick

it was going to be sugar or alcohol so i chose sugar

10:28 am

m9f9l

I did that with coffee.

10:28 am

Atalante

oooooo TY Pinny! A friend of mine is trying to find a gathering place in LOndon for a few weeks time that serves good vegan food, so I figured I'd ask here :D

10:28 am

m9f9l

you didn't want to be a human still?

10:28 am

jmcnrick

now i am stranded in kenya without a drop of alcohol for kilometers

10:29 am

m9f9l

ohhh. that raw brushetta sounds SO good!

10:29 am

jmcnrick

always good to ask babblers about food and places

10:29 am

redturtlehead

THere is alcohol in Kenya... Lots of beer at least. We also used to get Bombay sapphire shipped to camp from Kenya.

10:29 am

PinnyPoppins

No problemo. That place will be perfect for you then.

10:30 am

jmcnrick

not in Quaker land -- they have a strong testimony agin it

10:30 am

Atalante

it looks it! Might have to go and find it anyway!

10:30 am

Shirlockc

oh. it's not as "simple" as some, and not the simplest, but it is "simpler" than many.

11:32 am

stidmama

that WAS a hint, btw. just in case....

11:33 am

stidmama

EA 6, ruru.

11:34 am

rururocks

thank you see it now

11:34 am

rururocks

tried en everything

11:34 am

stidmama

:-D I helped!

11:34 am

stidmama

I was going in that direction too, ruru, and then I realized I had tried every combo at least twice.

11:35 am

lawyer-1

esne is a word in the dictionary, but Babble does not recognize it

11:35 am

stidmama

are you doing okay today ruru? it is a LOVELY day here. Will get to around 80, so I was up early and got the squash in the garden watered deeply before the sun hit it. Now enjoying the quiet (well the washing machine is rumbling) and watching a TV show about the caribbean.

11:36 am

stidmama

LAWYER!!! (((hugs))) how's the shoe collection today? *wicked mama grin*

11:36 am

lawyer-1

have not added to it in a bit. how's by u?

11:37 am

stidmama

I am DONE with classes for the summer, and have a self evaluation to write but otherwise no school-related angst until August 27. my shoe collection will need to grow before I student teach though. *dreading shoe shopping* I have odd-shaped feet.

11:38 am

lawyer-1

as long as u have 2 feet

11:38 am

lawyer-1

rise

11:39 am

lawyer-1

sorry

11:39 am

11:40 am

lawyer-1

In 10 days I am off to Seattle to see my new granddaughter

11:41 am

stidmama

ooooh! that is excellent! I know her parents will be glad to see you (though to be honest she herself may not notice...)

11:41 am

stidmama

is your wallet big enough to hold all your grandkid pics???

11:42 am

lawyer-1

my son just posted 259 pics online

11:42 am

stidmama

rofl... oh my! the proud papa! is this his first?

11:43 am

stidmama

we took TONS of pics with our first, and sort of petered out about the time our second was three.

11:43 am

lawyer-1

yes, it is their 1st and my 9th grandchild

11:43 am

Judi

Happy Sunday, Babblers!

11:43 am

stidmama

gee whiz! that's very excellent. I am so happy for your family!

11:44 am

stidmama

I keep telling my boys I am looking forward to being a grandmother... but not YET! they are FAR too young to think about family-building yet.

11:44 am

lawyer-1

ty...#10 is due in Oct.

11:44 am

stidmama

Hey Judi!

11:45 am

stidmama

you'll need a small island to contain them all on your vacations in a few years, lawyer!

11:45 am

lawyer-1

having them spread out geographically will kill our vacations

11:46 am

stidmama

I like the idea doren had, to gather all the family once a year in one place... which probably works well until the grandkids are teens and have their own lives they are living.

11:47 am

lawyer-1

well, 3 of them are teens already

11:47 am

stidmama

*shakes head sadly* it happens so fast, doesn't it, lawyer?

11:48 am

stidmama

OH! I have a proud mama moment to convey, the elder stidkid has been playing in his first professional "gig" -- in the orchestra pit for a local production of Sound of Music. I get to see him this evening (we couldn't afford to go to all of the shows)

11:48 am

lawyer-1

amen! and in Oct., another daughter is getting married

11:48 am

Shirlockc

pe7?

11:49 am

stidmama

good thing you're a lawyer so you can afford all these celebrations!

11:49 am

lawyer-1

what does he play?

11:49 am

Shirlockc

ooo, nm, monkeyed it

11:49 am

stidmama

trumpet. he's second trumpet, first trumpet is one of the local schoolteachers (retired)

11:49 am

stidmama

want to share, shirlock?

11:50 am

Shirlockc

writing implement + not heavy

11:50 am

stidmama

I am so pleased he managed to stick his neck out and ask the playhouse for an opportunity. I think they will ask him back for future productions.

11:50 am

stidmama

thanks shirlock!

11:50 am

stidmama

that puts me at halfway!

rururocks

anyone have the an 6/18 an7 combo?

11:52 am

stidmama

sounds like an interesting trio. this one also plays some piano, and the other son is low bass: tuba and trombone

11:52 am

stidmama

:-D I always love it when I can use one of the two Irish words I know! rofl

11:52 am

lawyer-1

we might get an orchestra out of the group

11:53 am

stidmama

although I suppose "Guinness" counts as a third...

11:53 am

stidmama

wouldn't that be a kick?

11:53 am

Soodle

Whats the other one, Stid?, Or is it a rude one?

11:53 am

Shirlockc

fa6, after the pretty?

11:53 am

stidmama

I so enjoy people making music together.

11:53 am

lawyer-1

but, all of mine stopped playing instruments

11:54 am

lawyer-1

My eldest actually won a scholarship to college for the bass

11:54 am

I don't know if my kids are quite that good, but they might.

11:54 am

rururocks

at 5? or that last an 6?

11:55 am

lawyer-1

competition eases up when u play a string bass

11:55 am

Shirlockc

an6 is to stick together, the 7 is the pl

11:56 am

lawyer-1

I remember driving her to practice with my roof open to fit the bass in the car

11:56 am

stidmama

true. I think the low brass player will be able to continue, trumpet is a bit more competitive.

11:56 am

stidmama

thanks for the plural shirlock!

11:56 am

rururocks

I don't see it

11:56 am

rururocks

too many directions

11:57 am

Shirlockc

a + double consonant + 2 vowels + stick

11:57 am

stidmama

an + alternate spelling for astronaut armstrong's first name

11:57 am

and then plural.

11:57 am

stidmama

or what shirlock said...

11:58 am

rururocks

thanks a lot..

11:58 am

stidmama

okay, now the show is talking about boobies. did you know there are red-footed ones, too?

11:58 am

rururocks

I spent a lot of time on that stupid word

11:58 am

rururocks

yes.. red and blue

11:58 am

stidmama

I think boobies are so cute when they are little... so fluffy! but the old ones just look seagulls to me.

11:59 am

rururocks

I like boobies a lot too

11:59 am

12:03 pm

smooth_pappa

I'm doing well! I hadn't been here in a VERY long time, until a few weeks ago. But I've been playing a little earlier in the day, and don't get a whole lot of chatting time during the week. BUt things are well!

12:04 pm

I am glad you are well. I have a few weeks off, so will be online more during the actual non-vampire hours. :-D

Uneaixoise

12:05 pm

hey, crossy!

12:07 pm

lawyer-1

pity, I am going to Spain and Portugal. At least I know how to order a beer.

12:07 pm

I really like openoffice, too. AND it's free.

when are you going there Lawyer? I think they would be lovely places to visit.

12:08 pm

crosshair

i can order a beer in 22 languages;)

12:09 pm

crosshair

but only speak 2 and not very well at that;0

12:09 pm

lawyer-1

at least I can order a port in Portugal

12:09 pm

Sadistyx

but can you pick up a girl in 22 languages

12:09 pm

lawyer-1

I can drink a beer in more than 22 languages

12:09 pm

Nancy Boy

well Ru, at least if the North Koreans bomb us whilst I'm there, I'll know whatever god there is really doesn't want me to have a family ;)

12:10 pm

stidmama

rofl cross! a useful skill indeed!

12:10 pm

crosshair

now there is a goal,have a local brew in as many countries as you can

12:10 pm

Yes, NB. Perhaps you might want to put off going to S. Korea in the near future.

12:10 pm

crosshair

i do not care for that kri beer;( sorry nb

12:10 pm

stidmama

Nancy Boy *worried mama look* maybe you should trade your ticket and come here instead. it's much much calmer... and we would love to have you visit. *protective mama look*

12:11 pm

stidmama

I am completely serious, btw...

12:11 pm

Judi

At least not while the US & SK are engaging in joint F-OFF maneuvers.

12:11 pm

Nancy Boy

Oh I don't think there will be much to worry about. The North will back down - they won't want to upset the US.

12:11 pm

lawyer-1

I have it on good authority that NK will not use the big bomb

12:11 pm

stidmama

*looks around for Soodles* or you could visit beautiful County Down... which is a lot closer.

12:11 pm

crosshair

ok,every babble chip in a dollar and we shall fly nb to stidmamas place!!

12:11 pm

stidmama

I HATE saber-rattling. I HATE war. I HATE people being mean.

12:12 pm

stidmama

*cleans out office for Nancy Boy to have some own space while here*

12:12 pm

smooth_pappa

yeah, the north puts up a strong front, but despite the massive size of their military, I don't think they really have the resources to wage a war against the US and S.K.

12:12 pm

Mom

here's my dollar, heck here's two

12:12 pm

Judi

I certainly hope China tells NK to sit down and shut up.

12:12 pm

stidmama

I also hate people who mistake inelegant language for the equivalent of violent and mean-spirited action.

12:13 pm

Nancy Boy

Makes me wonder WHY we are antagonising the North though. When it comes to us, they have a history of shooting first and asking questions later.

12:13 pm

Shirlockc

at5?

12:13 pm

stidmama

at 5 different from the A-slant word?

12:13 pm

crosshair

nothing worse that having nuclear weapon in the hands of those that have no idea of what they are doing.with U.S.S.R and the states,at least they have been at it long enough to know there is no future down that road,that there can be no such thing as acceptable losses

12:13 pm

Haz1558

The leaning tower of Pisa is at5/10.

12:13 pm

stidmama

hey Haz! ((hugs)) how are you todya>?

12:13 pm

Shirlockc

thx!

12:14 pm

Judi

I think it's to make the point that we know they torpedoed that ship and we're not going to let them get away with it. It puts NK in even more of a negative spot light.

12:14 pm

crosshair

we do not cater to bullys thats why nb

12:14 pm

Hello, I'm fine, thanks.

12:14 pm

Hello, hello. Late start for me today.

12:15 pm

bonkler

we get into bed with bullies all the time

12:16 pm

stidmama

bonkler too???? *sits down suddenly*

12:16 pm

Nancy Boy

yeah, it's all very well to make a point, but if we keep on this way we won't have faces to hold on to. The North are touchy, touchy, touchy..

12:16 pm

Sadistyx

i get into bed with girls that like to slap, is that the same thing?

12:16 pm

bonkler

and america hasn't the economic wherewithall for any sort of shooting war on yet another front

12:17 pm

rururocks

we could always sell off George Bush's ranch to pay for it

12:17 pm

smooth_pappa

i dunno bonker... Military spending in WWII helped pull us out of financial problems. Would it work now?

12:18 pm

bonkler

america has been spending at an insane rate in the last ten years to prop up unwinnable escapades with no end in sight

12:19 pm

bonkler

and unfortuantley the north koreans are vastly better armed and trained than either iraq or afghanistan

12:19 pm

rururocks

*this american agrees with Bonkler*

12:19 pm

Judi

I don't think it would take much to disable NK. Huge military, huge poverty. A few key strikes to military and critical infrastructure and it would be game over. They are out-gunned and out-classed across the board.

12:19 pm

stidmama

it all makes me so ANGRY *stern mama look* I think Eisenhower was right about the military-industrial complex.

12:19 pm

smooth_pappa

and it doesn't seem like that money has been going to as many widespread areas as it did in the 40s. I mean military manufacturing was so wide spread during WWII. Now a few contractors make a lot of money, but you don't see the manufacturing plants all over the place that you did then

12:20 pm

Sadistyx

NK has a food problem, without foos to feed n army they will not fight well

12:20 pm

bonkler

in ww2 america was a manufacturing powerhouse that is no longer the case.

12:20 pm

rururocks

Yeah Haliburton isn't suffering ...that's for sure

12:20 pm

stidmama

If we spent money on our children, and on keeping people healthy, and didn't just focus on keeping corporations fat and obsolete weapons operational.... *sputter sputter*

12:20 pm

Judi

Okay. I call a "cease fire". We are veering dangerously into politics. Dance, cabana boys! Dance!

12:21 pm

smooth_pappa

yeah, sad.. that's what I was thinking when I mentioned their resources. It's hard to keep a million man army fed if you don't have... you know... food. :-P

12:21 pm

rururocks

oh.okay..

12:21 pm

Judi

*pops corks* Who wants a mimosa?

12:21 pm

12:25 pm

I saw a jeep with the number plate HAZ , and I had a good look in case it was you in it, then I realised I had no idea what you looked like....

12:25 pm

Haz1558

Hello, Soodle. Did you actually cross the bridge?

12:25 pm

rururocks

er... sorry crossie

12:25 pm

Haz1558

I did it when I was a child and knew no better. And yes, we do have numberplates with HAZ at the start.

12:25 pm

Soodle

No Haz. I admired it from afar....

12:26 pm

Haz1558

You're a wise woman, Soodle.

12:26 pm

why you apologizing to me ruru??

12:27 pm

Ruru said "bacon".

12:27 pm

Maybe it WAS you!! It was in Portstewart. What a lovely part of the world.

12:28 pm

stidmama

*wonders when the Ireland meetup will be and if I can afford to get there...*

12:28 pm

Haz1558

No, it wasn't me, but glad you enjoyed Portstewart - the inspiration for the song 'Red sails in the sunset'

12:28 pm

stidmama

omg... I only just saw the boobies word! LOL

12:29 pm

stidmama

okay, my eyes are very tired and not seeing words very much. going to go do other things for a bit. (((Hugs all))) have a lovely sunday! *poof*

Boobies, bacon and nukes. We got it all.

No, Bichon. And I'm pretty p-o'd that there's not Lickety today either.

Douglas. See if this graph doesn't help explain why the arctangent is a crater creator. Arctangent is inverse of tangent. Inverse of an arc is a crater. http://www.tpub.com/content/draftsman/

I believe it is sa 4/5 to say that I will not finish today so here is a story of clues. After I had ri 5/10 out of bed at ni 4/4 this morning, I started babbling. I have been babbling ever since then. I did not even bother to wear any at 6/18 today. It ai4/4 me when I fa4/7 to finish a grid. But it never fa5/16, whenever there is no Lickety I do not get fireworks.I'm an 4/4 about how I do the grid, but today I had to al 5/10 the way I usually babble with no Lickety.It is so much ea 6/18 to babble with Lickety's list. With no Lickety, I really needed my monkeys.My monkeys were a pa4/5 in the arse and drove me in6/18 again.I'm not even po 6/21 anymore when I go get them. I sl 4/5ed them around and they started to move a littl bit.Then my monkeys were crawling like sn6/18. I had to grab them by the na 4/5 of their necks to get them to come. Well that put them in a sn 4/4. Monkeys had an in 5/10 idea to re 4/4 some sa4/4 boats&go sa4/4ing in the sa 4/4y ocean. They are all pa 4/5 with each other and gang up against me.When they were helping me things got te 5/10 and they started throwing sa 4/4 all over my kitchen. I got ti4/4ed of their outbursts so at la 4/4 I let them go and they made a beeli4/4 for the op4/5 gate. Now I'm going to ri 4/4 out of this seat and go call my brother Al 4/4. Then I am going to go make pe 5/12 alla vodka. My older sister An4/4 is coming over for dinner.I'll be back later toni4/4 to help with clues.

hey jellen, me neither, but Min's clue story helped. one more until I am down to 100

4:10 pm

stidmama

how has your day been? it's warm here -- but not oppressive (yet)

4:10 pm

Jellen

I'm a 106...

4:10 pm

stidmama

go jellen go!

4:11 pm

Jellen

I slept late (again)...haven't accomplished anything...

4:12 pm

stidmama

sounds like you are getting run down. stress can do that to a person. ((hugs)) what support can I give you right now? listening, brainstorming, descriptions of how much my house is NOT getting tended to?

4:13 pm

Jellen

Distraction is good...

4:13 pm

stidmama

look! what's that over there? *points to something behind jellen's back*

*sneaks in plate of cookies while she isn't looking*

4:14 pm

Jellen

Followed by a lecture on how things won't happen unless I do them...so get off my duff!

4:14 pm

Jellen

lol, stid

4:14 pm

stidmama

I actually did that to one of the boys once when we were at an "all you can eat" chinese place... it was CLASSIC -- three eggrolls' worth...

4:15 pm

stidmama

actually, what I have done when I am overwhelmed and my "get up and go" button is broken is give myself ONE thing to do at a time. I can do ONE thing for five minutes. Then I take a break. Then I do one MORE. This way it doesn't feel so overwhelming.

4:16 pm

stidmama

but I can only count as high as ONE, so your usage of this technique may vary...

4:16 pm

Jellen

Think I need to do a brain dump onto paper...then I can start breaking it down...

4:17 pm

stidmama

that sounds like a good idea. I would recommend including things you WANT to do in the process.

4:18 pm

Jellen

Check!

4:18 pm

Minveryork

HOTspurOG, if you're here there is a list in my profile

4:18 pm

stidmama

also, see if you can rank the tasks by easy to do, by important to do, and by how doing it will make you feel (for example, for me clearing off the piano is both easy and makes me feel good, as well as being fast... so I sometimes make that a starting point.

4:18 pm

etna is also a proper noun but it gets used all the time, so it's just a function of what enable will allow for its pickiness.

4:55 pm

Kallia

not from me...each to his own :)

4:55 pm

Jellen

What did you hate, NB?

4:56 pm

Nancy Boy

Well Soodle, I really, really detest the author who wrote the book - My Sister's Keeper. Really can't stand her. So, my dislike of the film stems from that ;)

4:56 pm

crosshair

this makes me want to go to France... http://www.johnmirandaphoto.com/france

4:56 pm

Kallia

why do you dislike her?

4:56 pm

Nancy Boy

4:57 pm

Jellen

Jodi Picoult is not for everyone...

4:57 pm

Nancy Boy

It's difficult to put my finger on, but the way she writes annoys me. Not my cup of tea at all, but each to their own of course!

4:57 pm

Soodle

I admit, I didn't read the book, but I am a pure sucker for weepies..... I cried BUCKETS at Marley & Me. (My kidneys are very close to my eyes, apparently....)

4:58 pm

Nancy Boy

Oh wow Crossy, don't you just want to dive into that sea?

4:58 pm

Nancy Boy

lol Soodle!

4:58 pm

ren8

OH YES Marley & Me, I cried lots too, very sad film especially at the end

4:59 pm

Kallia

I liked her first couple of books, but they have become very samey in my opinion

4:59 pm

Jellen

Cried while reading Marley & Me...

5:00 pm

Jellen

al 6/18, the first, please?

5:00 pm

Soodle

Still, I always enjoy a good whinge, specially when theres nothing REALLY wrong! LOL

5:00 pm

Nancy Boy

Yes Kallia, I'd agree with that...I read a few before deciding she wasn't for me. I'd probably say My Sister's Keeper was the best.

5:01 pm

Uneaixoise

i use a spreadsheet in GoogleDocs. I paste the list in the A column, and tic off what i have in the B column, rarely will type words in C column for clarification

9:33 pm

dcseain

a bit of work, but it works for me

9:34 pm

Minveryork

Wow! It sounds like a lot of work to me.I am not that computer savvy to do that. I just copy and paste list in to word document & then tye words in as I find'em.

9:37 pm

dcseain

oh, that'd work well, too minver :) never occurred to me, as list=spreadsheet in my brain

9:38 pm

Minveryork

I have a spreadsheet with Office but never used it b4
