12:46 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

he's a belter, gorgeous, ta for asking!

12:46 am

joshuavorbis

nice to have a compact grid that is doable in a reasonably short time without any aids

12:47 am

westford

yay josh !! are you all done with your travels?

12:47 am

joshuavorbis

i am in toronto for the next month or so before heading back to the states, so yes and no, west

12:48 am

joshuavorbis

wtf is that un6 - found it solely by building off the 4

12:49 am

westford

must feel good not to be in your car

12:50 am

joshuavorbis

feels good to not go somewhere new every few days for awhile

12:50 am

gremlinn

it's a plural, singular means: "In polychaetes, a short, stout seta that is hooklike in form, with one large tooth and several small teeth distal to it"

12:50 am

joshuavorbis

i like driving so being in the car isn't that big of a deal

12:51 am

gremlinn

and that probably gives you no good idea of what it is....

12:51 am

westford

grem that sounds like Cecil the Sea Serpent

12:51 am

joshuavorbis

always a good sign when a weird word has babblets in the definition

12:51 am

joshuavorbis

what's the singular spelling?

12:51 am

gremlinn

-us instead of -i

12:51 am

westford

josh you saw a lot of great places

12:52 am

joshuavorbis

i've only alaska left on my journey to visit all 50 states

12:52 am

gremlinn

ac5 is likewise a plural, -i for -us

12:52 am

joshuavorbis

that will have to wait for several years at least, though

12:52 am

westford

that's pretty amazing are you planning to go there any time soon?

12:52 am

westford

you just answered my question lol

12:53 am

joshuavorbis

this pesky money thing tends to have its way sometimes

12:54 am

gremlinn

I've visited only 11, I think.

12:54 am

westford

money is pesky

12:54 am

gremlinn

Not counting being directly over a few in airplanes.

12:54 am

westford

were you able to stay with people along the way?

12:54 am

gremlinn

No, make that 12. Forgot Alaska, heh.

12:55 am

westford

don't think that counts grem

12:55 am

joshuavorbis

if we're counting fly-overs, i can say i've been to greenland and iceland

12:55 am

joshuavorbis

yes, west - that was one of my favorite parts of the journey. i have friends all over the country and was able to catch up with more than a dozen of them all in one summer

12:56 am

westford

how great is that?

12:56 am

joshuavorbis

greenland, incidentally, was absolutely stunning to look at from eighty gazillion feet up

12:56 am

jillibus

George -- are you there? I looked it up and the pl of lion in Latin is leones.

12:56 am

joshuavorbis

got to meet a few new babies as well

12:56 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, Jill?

12:57 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh ta, someone told me it's this word!

12:57 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

hafta change it then!

12:57 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

how'd you find it, where?

12:58 am

westford

I really love travel by car when there's time

12:58 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

all sorted!

12:59 am

jillibus

google plus my dad's Latin dictionary

12:59 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh yeah? couldn't find it with google!

12:59 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

it was Seain gave me that, lol!

1:00 am

jillibus

It wasn't easy -- had to try various things.

1:00 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, so how'd you do it??

1:00 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

must be right, cos it makes more sense looking at it

1:00 am

jillibus

can't remember what worked, duh!

1:01 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

wonder if 'cave' would still be correct though or if another word's needed along with it? there's also a 'caveo'--what's that mean in the dictionary?

1:02 am

jillibus

this was the last one I got: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/We_are_lions
_in_Latin

1:03 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh yeah? thanks!

1:04 am

jillibus

Cave is correct -- "Cave canem" in Pompeii. But come to think of it maybe it should be leonem (accusative). I've forgotten my Latin.

1:06 am

jillibus

Caveo would mean "I take care (beware)" I think. Same verb, different tense.

1:06 am

westford

nbt

1:07 am

jillibus

wtg west!

1:07 am

westford

thanks jilli

1:09 am

1:11 am

flosey

lol, still monkeying around

1:11 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh yeah, thanks Jill! I should get a plaque made up with that on it, to put out there near the lions, ha! might do that!

1:11 am

westford

only 4 k's what are they thinking?

1:12 am

flosey

lol west, guess they didn't want us to tear all of our hair out

1:12 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

where though, on the riser of the top step?

1:13 am

westford

now if only I can remember them all

1:13 am

flosey

1:13 am

flosey

1:14 am

westford

bye for now

1:14 am

jillibus

better make sure it's really correct, George -- check with a university Latin dep't!

1:15 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, will have to do that!

1:16 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

would be fun though!

1:16 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

not that they're very scary

1:20 am

jillibus

Great idea though.

1:21 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

1:29 am

westford

I still need to read yours too flosey I was late because I wanted to follow the icon theme and I always get caught up in the choices

1:30 am

flosey

your icon is a very frightening one west

1:30 am

westford

3:13 am

3:13 am

rubyfoo

3:13 am

westford

I am afraid of eggs now

3:13 am

rubyfoo

or show him the coq au vin recipe?

3:14 am

sandyloo

3:14 am

sandyloo

3:14 am

westford

3:14 am

lynxxx

tied up with life I guess

3:14 am

rubyfoo

hahah

3:14 am

rubyfoo

this isn't life?

3:14 am

sandyloo

the eggs are good to have west

3:15 am

sandyloo

hard to keep that in mind isn't it? this is a nice distraction from life

3:15 am

westford

we're having a big egg problem they had to throw away about 1/2 a billion of them

3:15 am

rubyfoo

I'm still thiking of buying DH a kitten but I'm afraid it would go after "his" birds. He looked up the hawk that came in the house yesterday and learned that this type "picks off" birds directly from the feeder

3:15 am

rubyfoo

I read about that, west

3:16 am

rubyfoo

isn't salmonella killed by adequate cooking?

3:16 am

westford

apparently not ruby they are saying you can even get it from touching the shell

3:17 am

lynxxx

wow, just where you are West or all over the States?

3:17 am

sandyloo

what's this? eggs with salmonella?

3:17 am

westford

oh what a good idea I bet he would love a kitten

3:17 am

rubyfoo

I never wash eggs before breaking them, but I guess I had better start!

3:17 am

westford

sandy most of the eggs that we eat come from 2 major providers in Iowa

3:17 am

sandyloo

what about a beauceron puppy?

3:18 am

westford

lol sandy

3:18 am

herinfernallady

Hi. West did you see my link on FB?

3:18 am

sandyloo

keep going west....

3:18 am

rubyfoo

I think it would distract him from his depression but: would it scratch Ruby and Max, would it eat his birds, etc.

3:18 am

westford

no herin I'm not there anymore

3:18 am

rubyfoo

hello herin

3:18 am

rubyfoo

3:19 am

herinfernallady

Hi.

3:19 am

westford

ruby I'll bet the dogs and he would adore the kitten

3:19 am

sandyloo

our cat was a kitten and we trained the jack russels to be kind to it- one humps it and the other cuddles it (said this before) and the cat likes both

3:19 am

lynxxx

no dh

3:19 am

herinfernallady

Hi and finding link

rubyfoo

what an image!

3:20 am

sandyloo

an eagle would be good Ruby, remind him of home

3:20 am

lynxxx

wouldn't a cat eat the fish! he'd end up shooting it

3:20 am

westford

he lived in an aerie?

3:20 am

rubyfoo

maybe a parrot!

3:21 am

rubyfoo

you all know him to well. Or if it ate his birds, he'd shoot me!

3:21 am

3:22 am

kje

3:22 am

rubyfoo

I didn't , sandy, that's a funny idea

3:22 am

westford

3:26 am

kje

3:26 am

lynxxx

My goodness, just read that article. Think I would be getting my own chooks. Can't understand why/how the owner is still in business

3:26 am

westford

oh I hate earwigs

3:26 am

rubyfoo

my 14 lb grey tabby

3:26 am

westford

3:26 am

rubyfoo

one came in with the newspaper this AM eww

3:27 am

rubyfoo

she was huge and beautiful and a great hunter

3:27 am

herinfernallady

We had a huntsman under the eaves last night escaping the rain

3:27 am

rubyfoo

years and years ago

3:27 am

westford

what a picture

3:27 am

kje

what is a huntsman?

3:27 am

sandyloo

I hate those huntsmen, and they say it is bad luck to kill them

3:27 am

rubyfoo

is that a man with a gun or a kind of animal, herin?

3:27 am

sandyloo

a big hairy spider

3:28 am

westford

I was picturing a robin hood type ruby

3:28 am

kje

oh no

3:28 am

lynxxx

a bloody big hairy fat spider!

3:28 am

sandyloo

fast and evil though they are harmless

3:28 am

kje

not a good name for a spider

3:28 am

rubyfoo

like a tarantula? poisonous?

3:28 am

rubyfoo

how big

3:28 am

kje

or at least not a comforting name

3:28 am

westford

are they the ones that drop from trees?

3:28 am

sandyloo

no harmless to people , not so nice to insects

3:29 am

rubyfoo

and I was picturing a big hunk in boots with a rifle.....

3:29 am

westford

hiding under the eaves lol

3:29 am

rubyfoo

I'd offer him a cup of coffee.....

3:29 am

sandyloo

one was in my car once, and I got it out on the end of a stick which I threw into a bush and the dog retrieved the stick and ran after as - spider was still on the end of the stick

3:30 am

westford

good doggie lol

3:30 am

lynxxx

rofl

3:30 am

rubyfoo

bye bye dog!

3:30 am

sandyloo

the neighbours thought we were mad, running and screaming

3:30 am

rubyfoo

you're lucky you didn't wreck the car!

3:30 am

westford

our granddaughter would have picked it up and kissed it

3:30 am

westford

she loves spiders

3:31 am

sandyloo

car was stationary or i would have jumped out and left the kids to cope

3:31 am

rubyfoo

gotta love wildlife stories!!!!

3:31 am

herinfernallady

Huntsman are hairy harmless spiders the do eat other bad spiders

3:31 am

sandyloo

I dont like crickets, they can hop in any direction and have hopped onto me at times- I am a cricket magnet

3:31 am

rubyfoo

I can't remember who it was, but a couple of nights ago, a babbler from Massachusetts had a tarantula on her ceiling! She was hysterical

3:32 am

kje

ok, down to 15, back to bed

3:32 am

rubyfoo

sweet dream, kje, (no spiders)

3:32 am

sandyloo

are tarantula spiders harmful?

3:32 am

westford

too bad Cassie's in CA right now she would have rescued it

3:32 am

sandyloo

bye kj,

3:32 am

herinfernallady

http://tinyurl.com/32jjqt4 That is a huntsman

3:32 am

herinfernallady

Depends on teh tarantula

3:33 am

westford

the bites are not fatal sandy

3:33 am

rubyfoo

I think they can bite but are not poisonous, however they probably cause a lot of heart attacks

3:33 am

westford

cassie had one as a pet

3:33 am

westford

no kidding ruby

3:33 am

westford

I'm more afraid of black widows

3:33 am

rubyfoo

I like common European garden spiders (argiopes) as they have stripes and spots and are multi-colored --- but outside!

3:34 am

sandyloo

hmmm, dont like the sound of that, we have a nasty spider here called a red back - small and black with a red stripe down its back, they can make you very sick and they are very common here

3:34 am

rubyfoo

sounds like a black widow

3:34 am

herinfernallady

Bah to the redback go the Sydney Funnel web

3:34 am

westford

the black widows have a little hour glass

3:34 am

rubyfoo

the only poisonous spiders in Europe (so they say) are black widows and they are only in southern Italy and Siciliy

3:35 am

westford

oh I heard those were the deadliest

3:35 am

rubyfoo

Sydney Funnel is deadly, non?

3:35 am

rubyfoo

snap, west

3:35 am

westford

we had them ( black widows ) in CA used to get sprayed once a month

3:35 am

lynxxx

They sound like they are mafia Ruby

3:35 am

herinfernallady

Funnel webs are worse than Redbacks those bloody things can survive in water

3:35 am

rubyfoo

probably are

3:36 am

westford

if you get close enough they do speak Italian

3:36 am

rubyfoo

I'm cancelling my trip to Australia! hahah

3:36 am

rubyfoo

in water? swimming spiders? aaarghhhh!

3:36 am

herinfernallady

Ruby we have the top 10 of animals that can kill

3:37 am

rubyfoo

I'm convinced!

3:37 am

westford

are they native or were they brought in?

3:37 am

herinfernallady

What?

3:37 am

herinfernallady

Native.

3:37 am

westford

killer koalas

3:37 am

rubyfoo

we only have vipers and I've never seen one

3:38 am

rubyfoo

killer kangas!

3:38 am

westford

haven't the vipers been prepared with garlic?

3:38 am

herinfernallady

No West though they can pee on you and that stinks. As for the roos you don't want to piss off a fully grown red male

3:38 am

rubyfoo

I think you have to purge them first, like snails! eeewwww

3:38 am

westford

those are big fellas

3:39 am

rubyfoo

do you see them near where you live Herin"? Sandy?

3:39 am

rubyfoo

Lynxx?

3:40 am

lynxxx

kangaroos, not here, we are too built up

3:40 am

westford

oh the news is on now and they are talking about the trapped miners

3:40 am

rubyfoo

this place is like a children's park compared to there!

3:40 am

sandyloo

We have had one here in our paddock as we live near reserves, but we see them down south by the hundreds

3:40 am

westford

they aren't going to tell them it will take 4 months to get them out

3:40 am

herinfernallady

Two words on that Sandy : BUGGER THAT

3:41 am

rubyfoo

they should give them computers and we could entertain them with babble and chat!

3:41 am

westford

sandy did the dogs go nuts?

3:41 am

westford

ruby you read my mind

3:41 am

rubyfoo

how do the horses react?

3:41 am

rubyfoo

great minds!

3:42 am

westford

yes lol

3:42 am

sandyloo

no all the animals just looked interested and the kangaroo just hopped off over the fence

3:42 am

sandyloo

Herin ? bugger what?

3:43 am

sandyloo

It was very big- the ones down south can be huge and they are dangerous if cornered

3:43 am

rubyfoo

the miners?

3:43 am

herinfernallady

Being stuck in a mine

3:43 am

westford

oh nice weatherman said we're the soggiest location in the country

3:43 am

sandyloo

who is stuck in a mine?

3:43 am

rubyfoo

awful idea!

3:43 am

westford

that was me herin

3:44 am

westford

they are in a shelter with food and water and air they asked for tooth brushes so they got those to them

3:44 am

westford

sandy miners in Chile hadn't been heard from for 17 days

3:45 am

sandyloo

we often had joeys as pets when we holidayed on our aunties sheep stations as kids. They were so lovely , we hung pillowslips on the end of our bed and they would sleep in those and wake us up for their bottles

3:45 am

westford

oh how adorable

3:45 am

sandyloo

that is terrible west, we had a similar incident here in Tasmania a while back - remember that Herin?

3:45 am

rubyfoo

I just read about the worcester tornado in your profile, west. My sister sent me a clipping that a little one touched down in NY this past spring

3:46 am

westford

there have been a few microbursts here lately

3:46 am

sandyloo

Kangaroos are no good as pets once they reach maturity , they can become very aggressive then

3:46 am

lynxxx

lol, like roosters

3:46 am

rubyfoo

maybe I could get a joey for DH....no bedposts, however

3:46 am

westford

how big do they get?

3:46 am

rubyfoo

perfect then

3:46 am

westford

lol lyn

3:47 am

rubyfoo

keep him in his place!

3:47 am

westford

poor sandy

3:47 am

lynxxx

some are as high as a man

3:47 am

sandyloo

My boss was an american, and we had to catch some kangaroos at the zoo once, he was six foot four and some of them were as tall

3:47 am

rubyfoo

if we turn the picture of Max in my profile upside-down, he will look like a tornado!

3:47 am

sandyloo

I thought that was Ruby, ruby

3:48 am

rubyfoo

I had no idea they were that big

3:48 am

herinfernallady

Sandy I remember Beconsfield

3:48 am

westford

that's true ruby

3:48 am

westford

but don't

3:48 am

rubyfoo

Ruby used to be my icon; she is shaded blonde

3:48 am

herinfernallady

AND I swear I would not be asking for a tooth brush I would be asking for deodorant and shower in a can or some food.

3:48 am

lynxxx

Ruby is the very pretty red one, Max is just handsome

3:48 am

sandyloo

that was such a wonderful story, the miners got out alive (two of them ) after a long time

3:49 am

rubyfoo

Max has a magnificent head but the back end sort of peters out (so to speak....)

3:49 am

sandyloo

Some roos are quite small tho, there is a big range of species

3:49 am

rubyfoo

you can always tell the sexes apart with chows; the males have very slim hips

3:49 am

westford

they said they have been rationing the food they have a 6 inch shaft and will be giving them what they need

3:50 am

rubyfoo

I didn't know that. Are wallabees a kind of roo?

3:50 am

sandyloo

wallabees are small kangas

3:50 am

rubyfoo

along with babble, we could contribute food from the PB to the miners

3:50 am

westford

they should give them all iphones

3:51 am

rubyfoo

I saw a photo of a Flemish giant rabbit and it looked just like a kangaroo except it had big fluffy front paws and long hair

3:51 am

herinfernallady

and not to mention tp

3:51 am

rubyfoo

eeewww

3:51 am

sandyloo

iphones with games on them (maybe babble)

3:51 am

herinfernallady

Sandy: Wabbalies. Mmmmmmmummmy look at the wabbalies

3:51 am

lynxxx

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pufSYjh
cPYo ...check this out West, kind of funny if you aren't on the receiving end

3:51 am

rubyfoo

we'd make minerals the daily icon

3:51 am

westford

good thing they're all guys

3:52 am

rubyfoo

eeewwww

3:52 am

westford

they don't want to upset them with the news that they'll be there for 4 months do you think they'll figure it out after a week?

3:52 am

rubyfoo

we could tell them jokes in the chog....

3:53 am

rubyfoo

I shouldn't laugh, but can't help it, west. Mean Ruby!

3:53 am

westford

looking now lyn

3:57 am

rubyfoo

just watched Willard! I had no idea

3:58 am

westford

that was so funny

3:58 am

rubyfoo

better check on DH, back in a minute

3:59 am

westford

I wonder if that woman has even been knocked out cold

4:00 am

rubyfoo

bACK, i HAVE ANOTHER 1/2 HOUR!

4:00 am

rubyfoo

whoops, sorry for the caps

4:01 am

westford

good !!

4:01 am

rubyfoo

he has a serious undercarriage (willard, not talking about DH!)

4:01 am

westford

I noticed lol

4:02 am

westford

do they really box or do they have to be trained?

4:03 am

herinfernallady

Sandy did you get my joke?

4:04 am

lynxxx

I think they naturally 'box', over territory or females I guess. They used to be quite the circus/sideshow attraction but not now

4:04 am

westford

those hind legs look killer

There have been some incidents where they come in contact with people. They are a 'pest' in Canberra and have been known to kill dogs and hurt some people, which is why they are sometimes culled

4:06 am

rubyfoo

do people eat roos?

4:07 am

rubyfoo

tastes like rabbit? chicken?

4:07 am

lynxxx

Yes, not a lot though, very lean meat. Use a lot for doig food. Looks good but my Stew won't eat it

4:08 am

westford

wow lyn I didn't realize that thought they were endangered

4:08 am

rubyfoo

maybe it needs meat tenderizer for Stew

4:08 am

lynxxx

Very red, like beef

4:08 am

lynxxx

far far from endangered

4:09 am

rubyfoo

I would limagine that, ground up, you could use it for pasta sauce

lynxxx

Daughter says it tastes like beef steak, slighgt difference in the after taste

4:09 am

westford

but then you couldn't stop hopping

4:09 am

rubyfoo

6:07 am

Michelle

Thank you!

6:07 am

zoozzoom

i like funny giffs..always make me smile Sally

6:07 am

Sally-catlover

Having fun doing this without a list, it's such fun to be able to grey in most of the squares quickly.

6:08 am

zoozzoom

this is true...this is the a first fr me to get fireworks on a small grid without listing.

6:09 am

zoozzoom

i find the small grids the hardest normally.

6:09 am

Anniebrook

congrats, zooz

6:09 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Annie!..thanks ;-)

6:09 am

Sally-catlover

Yes so do I zooz, quite a surprise to find such easy words mostly. Still have 19 to find though :-)

6:10 am

Anniebrook

25 left here and I have found the proverbial wall

6:11 am

zoozzoom

Trifioso

I am just beyond pleased that you are still here, zooz, and sounding so engaged. your presence blesses us all

6:17 am

Anniebrook

zooz, trif said exactly how I feel..

6:18 am

Sally-catlover

I have all the Ws, but it's a pity I couldn't have wiki and wifi :-)

6:23 am

Trifioso

my real initials are in the grid today, which is saying something, as I have four!

6:24 am

zoozzoom

aww thansk for those kind words Trif & Annie :-)

6:24 am

zoozzoom

thanks*

6:25 am

Trifioso

you are the most welcome ever, zooz

6:25 am

Anniebrook

6:26 am

Anniebrook

guessing trif's initials...EANC

6:26 am

Trifioso

its another grey cold day here in massachusetts....honestly, it's as if we got all the summer's rain in three days! everything was brown and crispy, and now it's an octopus's garden out there!

6:26 am

Trifioso

close annie! EACE

6:27 am

Trifioso

The last E is taking a hike as soon as the ink is dry on the divorce though....can't wait! Kick that thing to the curb!

6:27 am

Anniebrook

I was close...grey and rain here too, all day

6:27 am

zoozzoom

lol

6:27 am

zoozzoom

6:27 am

Trifioso

6:28 am

zoozzoom

6:28 am

Trifioso

its a strange storm, this -- blew in from the east, which I guess is pretty rare

6:28 am

zoozzoom

my spelling is not very good today..lol

6:29 am

Trifioso

grump. cant move top left e. help please?

6:30 am

Anniebrook

trif, ed 6/24....the state of being in paradise

6:31 am

Sally-catlover

Also en 6/21 from there

6:31 am

Trifioso

thanks annie. but it won't take the ed4 version? enable baffles again....

6:32 am

Anniebrook

trif, the garden of **** and 3/4 of frozen water

6:32 am

Trifioso

got the ed, thanks. I just meant that I think it's puzzling that it wont take the first two thirds of that word....

6:33 am

Anniebrook

oh I see what you mean...enable is frustrating

6:34 am

Anniebrook

and also behind the times...wont take wifi

6:34 am

Sally-catlover

Think the four-letter word would be a proper noun.

6:34 am

Sally-catlover

or wiki annie!

6:34 am

Trifioso

is there such a thing as a proper adjective? not being snarky, actually asking....

6:34 am

Anniebrook

yes, wiki too

6:35 am

Anniebrook

trif, LOL, have no idea...Haz might know

6:35 am

Trifioso

I mean, seriously - if the ed4 is a proper noun, the ed6 should be a proper adjective....

6:36 am

Anniebrook

I see, then you are right but no cigar

6:36 am

Sally-catlover

No, I think only nouns can be proper because they stand for an object, person. An adjective is merely descriptive.

6:36 am

Trifioso

humpf. don' wanna cigar anyway!!! (said in best 3 year old voice)

6:37 am

Anniebrook

then trif is describing a proper noun

6:37 am

Anniebrook

LOL< trif, dont wh5

6:37 am

Sally-catlover

I have two words left, then I'll look up the reference!

6:38 am

Anniebrook

go sally go!

6:39 am

Anniebrook

16 left here, going to make coffee...will bring back the pot with me

6:40 am

Sally-catlover

Tada!! Will go and get reference books.

6:41 am

Trifioso

huzzah for sally!!!!

6:45 am

Anniebrook

congrats, sally!

6:45 am

Trifioso

now, how to ask this delicately? has the F word that is sort of a phantom ever been a real word?

6:45 am

Sally-catlover

Right, a proper noun will name a specific item, usually one of a kind. Hence the name of a town, place, person. If you describe that noun with an adjective, it won't just be one of a kind will it. So - you could have the author Chaucer, which is a proper noun cos only one of him, but several writers might be described as chaucerian.

6:46 am

Sally-catlover

Yes Trif, usually to howls of protest from the more modest of us. So has the /other/ rude word.

6:46 am

Sally-catlover

They are usually the first words I find :-)

6:46 am

Trifioso

thanks sally! Whilst I agree in theory, I still want to capitalize the C in "chaucerian", sort of as a nod, if you will, to the origin of the word. But I get where they are coming from, with the "more than one" angle.

6:47 am

Trifioso

thanks sally. rude words are the ones I usually enter by accident in the chog, much to my terror

6:48 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, I would probably capitalise it as well, but was trying to find an example that we would all recognise. Even if you capitalise it, I would not describe it as a "proper" adjective. Probably Chaucerian would not be allowed by enable though.

6:48 am

Anniebrook

I have never seen the f word here. probably wasnt here because Enable has all of them.

6:53 am

Sally-catlover

Perhaps you were too polite to finish the grid, Annie:-)

6:53 am

Sally-catlover

Does anyone need any clues before I wander off?

6:54 am

Anniebrook

LOL. Sally, I dont think so....when the cu4 word was in the grid I typed it into the chatlog in error...I was ribbed most of the day.

6:54 am

Anniebrook

sally, how many fi 4/10's are there?

6:54 am

Trifioso

I really pity anyone who has to learn english as a second language. I cannot stand when people get all fussed at those adults who are struggling with it. That whole "you moved here now learn to speak our language" screed is so ignorant! I always want to shout "you tried it?" back

6:54 am

Sally-catlover

rofl Annie. Of all the words!

6:54 am

7:00 am

Trifioso

wow, sally. you read my mind! just after I entered that, I wondered if that would be true on your side of the pond. good to know! very educational babble on the whole, this morning

7:01 am

Sally-catlover

Without giving the words away, I would be interested to know if you pronounce them both with the eee sound or the sound as in aye

7:02 am

Trifioso

the vowels in each say their name

7:02 am

Trifioso

eye

7:03 am

Sally-catlover

EvaNadine

7:23 am

Sally-catlover

7:23 am

Trifioso

7:23 am

7:23 am

MonkeyGames

7:23 am

Sally-catlover

7:24 am

Good Enough

i couldn't tell if he had given the news or not

7:24 am

Mom

7:24 am

grant

THanks Mom. Some weirdos?

7:25 am

Trifioso

one h and one a. I fear some welsh with the H

7:25 am

Mom

then the chat changed to how his family had not only lied but stole.

7:26 am

Mom

they said it is a custom in Korea when someone passes that there are gifts as well as money given to the family

7:26 am

Sally-catlover

ac 4/6, 5/12, 4/5, 5/14

7:26 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks Sally! This is a killer grid. And not in a 1980's good meaning of killer.

7:26 am

Kaplan the Magne

It's sad that a bunch of people on an internet game have to be the ones to accept NB unconditionally.

7:26 am

EvaNadine

ahh, so in claiming him dead, they received gifts...?

7:26 am

Mom

the family said he had died in an accident, they even had a wake for him

7:27 am

Trifioso

1

7:27 am

Mom

apparently they did Eva

7:27 am

Sally-catlover

No Welsh H's: hi 4/6, 4/6, hu 4/7, 4/12, 4/7

7:27 am

Mom

Sally-catlover

Congrats Trif

7:28 am

Hope your lifeboat's inflated

7:28 am

Trifioso

I think Nancy's parents should be ashamed of themselves.

7:28 am

EvaNadine

i agree, trif.

7:28 am

Trifioso

NO kidding, grant, huh? Secondo had field hockey camp this week, and every day has been a washout.

7:28 am

Sally-catlover

Do NB's parents still live In South Korea?

7:28 am

Trifioso

but my lawn is looking green again, so that's good

7:28 am

Good Enough

absolutely!

7:29 am

EvaNadine

sally, i believe his parents live in england.

7:29 am

Trifioso

I kid you not, people, it is doing that sweeping rain thing. god help us all

7:29 am

grant

Good summer for mower gas conservation

7:29 am

Kaplan the Magne

Enuff is enuff.

7:29 am

Sally-catlover

The parents seem to forget that NB is still very young and needs support not rejection.

7:30 am

Trifioso

okay, need to get it together. have to cross the driveway before the stream washes it out. blessings to you all, and thanks for the clues!

7:30 am

Sally-catlover

Bye Trif.

7:31 am

NonoNanette

bye Trif

7:31 am

crosshair

i think that after the parents have shunned him,driven him from their lives,cast him adrift,declared him dead to all overseas relatives,that fact that they were angry at him,so not be worth a pile of coon shit.it i had family do that to me,i would not give a rats ass what they thought of me trying to repair ties with family overseas that they lied to... good morning everyone:)

7:31 am

Anniebrook

bye trif

7:31 am

EvaNadine

precisely, crossy.

7:31 am

Anniebrook

crossy, good morning

7:31 am

NonoNanette

hi Crossy!

7:32 am

Good Enough

i agree cross. but the lack of relationship with his family still seems to hurt him greatly

7:32 am

EvaNadine

but somehow, deep down, there is always a small part that wishes things were different...

7:32 am

crosshair

morning ladies:))))

7:32 am

Good Enough

maybe if he can at least have a relationship with cousins that will suffice

7:32 am

Sally-catlover

Yes crossy. I can just about understand the rejection, because a lot of parents have problems with this, but not telling other relatives he was dead. That is really dreadful.

7:33 am

EvaNadine

its still a fairly fresh wound for him.
he puts on a brave face for us, but i can only imagine how isolating it must feel.

7:33 am

crosshair

seems they are poison to him now,so time to live his life on his terms,not theirs

7:33 am

crosshair

yes,he is young yet...

7:33 am

Mom

Hi {{Crossy}}

7:33 am

Thanks mom. I've missed a lot of the chog recently cos I've been in and out, and away.

7:34 am

Mom

you're welcome Sally

7:35 am

Riverdance

got interrupted at work - now need to figure out what I missed

7:35 am

Anniebrook

my daughter went to law school with a korean girl and she needed a hip replacement and her family told her she was damaged goods.

7:35 am

Mom

oh my gosh Annie, that's terrible

7:35 am

Good Enough

ouch thats harsh

7:35 am

Sally-catlover

It takes your breath away, doesn't it.

7:36 am

Mom

River, we were just discussing NB

7:36 am

Anniebrook

yes, it was shocking to hear that...and she was only 24 years old, instead of rallying around her, they did the opposite

7:36 am

Riverdance

oh my heart goes out to NB - he is brave and l'm afraid will get his heart broken again

7:36 am

Sally-catlover

I so hope he has enjoyed his holiday. It was a journey he wanted to make, so I hope he has laid some ghosts.

7:36 am

Mom

what a strange lot

7:37 am

7:42 am

MonkeyGames

yay!

7:42 am

Mom

excellent news River, congrats to him

7:42 am

Anniebrook

river, great news

7:42 am

NonoNanette

great River!!! Congrats to him

7:42 am

EvaNadine

well, good golly. why is it so tough for people to decide yes or no about attending a wedding? we are almost 2 weeks past our RSVP date, still havent heard back from some people (despite efforts to get in touch with them) and some of them just arent giving us clear answers -- they are claiming it is too early for them to know. well, sorry, but being the one paying for it, *I* need to know.

7:42 am

Good Enough

river that is fabulous!! congrats to him (and you)!

7:43 am

crosshair

good stuff nono;))

7:43 am

Good Enough

eva, i find people are getting worse and worse about rsvps. but you'd think for a wedding people would be able to commit!

7:43 am

crosshair

another good one to know nono,is "dxdiag" it can diagnose sound and video problems

7:44 am

MonkeyGames

Hate to be a pain but also hate to quit with 9 left... there's a H 5, right? Any clues?

7:44 am

Riverdance

some people are natural procrastinators - happens all the time and there is nothing you can do about it Eva - dont get all wrapped up in that - enjoy the whole thing

7:44 am

NonoNanette

thanks Crossy will make note of that

7:44 am

Sally-catlover

Have found that myself when organising a wedding, Eva. People are much more casual these days. Perhaps a note saying you assume they aren't coming because you are finalising the seating plan?

7:44 am

EvaNadine

i have had a handful of people ask me if they could let me know in a few weeks.
umm, NO. thats why i put an RSVP date -- because i need to know by then. if you cant commit to a yes, then maybe you just have to commit to a no.

7:44 am

phaeton

no H5

7:44 am

what day of the week is the wedding eva?

7:49 am

EvaNadine

seriously. i mean, i understand that one or two of them may have work schedules to figure out, but seriously? i have given you a date to decide by. i find it quite rude that people would ask for exceptions, especially having gone through this process already themselves. and i wont even get started on the ones asking to bring their children, despite my already having said adults only.

7:49 am

hi, MG :)

9:20 am

MonkeyGames

Doing OK. I'm at work right now, but there's nothing happening here. Are you OK?

9:20 am

Jellen

I'm okay...a bit emotional now and then, but not bad...

9:21 am

dcseain

emotional now and then never fully goes away in my experience, just becomes less frequent. Peace to you, jellen

9:21 am

MonkeyGames

Hang in there. I'm keeping you in my thoughts. Meanwhile, good luck with this grid-- it's kind of mean.

9:21 am

MonkeyGames

I'm happy to clue until work intervenes or teh vet calls.

Heading to Gremlinn's profile...

9:27 am

jan

I'm down to one--a five letter f word--and my monkeys have gone on strike. I do have the plural of the uterus word...

9:27 am

tceicher

9:27 am

MonkeyGames

Do you have the one that rhymes with the ri- poisin?

9:28 am

MonkeyGames

I don't know, tc, but people do somehow...

9:28 am

jan

Nope--but I do now! Thanks, MonkeyGames!

9:28 am

dcseain

9:28 am

MonkeyGames

No problem! I had to get that one on a clue too.

9:52 am

Jellen

Of course, I chose to stay in bed and Babble and Facebook instead of getting up and being productive...I awoke at 7:30

9:52 am

kje

oh, 730 would be late for me - LOL

9:52 am

Jellen

Didn't go to sleep until 2am, though...

9:53 am

I woke at around 0230... babbled a bit until I got sleepy again, then went back to bed around 0330

9:53 am

kje

9:53 am

kje

Jellen

Ahh...kje, expert witness!

9:56 am

kje

i had deemed a man (ex- lawyer no less) incompetent

9:56 am

9:57 am

kje

very nice person

9:57 am

Jellen

That's hard, but in his best interest...

9:57 am

Hi, George

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

10:15 am

rururocks

bb in a bit.. need to make brekkie for mrs ru

10:16 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, of course, but also on the site--like, if you play scrabble on yahoo, lots of very legit everyday words won't work cos yahoo doesn't think they're 'nice' words, like 'cock'--stupid, that!!

10:17 am

kje

6

10:17 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, the scrabble game on FB is lexulous, no?

10:17 am

rubyfoo

10:17 am

10:17 am

Jellen

Hi, ruby!

10:17 am

wht

Can I get a clue for either of the top row e's for nbt?

10:17 am

kje

no... I play the official scrabble game - i will not support lexulous

10:17 am

rubyfoo

george, it depends whether you use sow or US dictionary with scrabble (lexulous)

10:18 am

rubyfoo

10:18 am

kje

ed6 - like a garden

10:18 am

car.eeyore

TY KJE!

10:19 am

kje

lexulous is a knock off that comes out of india - they were sued by scrabble for duplicating their board identically and profiting off the theft

10:19 am

kje

scrabble is not lexulous

10:19 am

kje

lexulous was then forced to change their board

10:19 am

redturtlehead

but people still like it..

10:19 am

wht

ty kje, That was not obvoious to me. I was afraid it would turn out to be a fish.

10:20 am

rubyfoo

but it was free and had a good format before they were forced to change it

10:20 am

rubyfoo

and they wouldn't accept any money!

10:20 am

kje

yes they do, red - but i think most CR's should be honored.... all except those on living things which I think is insanity

10:21 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

dunno, I was told the scrabble game on FB is run through Lexulous? I haven't played it myself, only have a business page on FB that's handled for me by a m8 of mine who does web work for me, don't use it personally and never will!

10:21 am

redturtlehead

true.

10:21 am

car.eeyore

Wasn't ti 4/8 in the grid yesterday? How strange!

10:21 am

kje

they were free because they sold advertising - they made money off the game, thus why hasbro sued them - it is intellectual property

10:21 am

academyguys

help me... wah

10:21 am

academyguys

giff

10:22 am

rubyfoo

I play scrabble/lexulous all ways, but the best of all is sowpods blitz!

10:22 am

car.eeyore

May i have please have clues for the i's?

10:23 am

kje

ic4 - made cold

10:23 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, well it's near enough the same game, with a different name--yahoo has one as well, it's called Literati, different sort of board and no consistent tile distribution, but same game basically!

10:23 am

kje

in6 - push into a riot, say

10:23 am

rubyfoo

when it first started, still called scrabulous, it had no advertising and was a pleasure. On FB it has a lot of ads

10:24 am

redturtlehead

down to 16...

10:24 am

rubyfoo

ty kje, couldn't see that duh

10:24 am

kje

that is what the lawsuit did - said they could not duplicate the board, so now lexulous is a random board set up every time, random distribution of leter and word doubles and triples

10:24 am

rubyfoo

hi red

10:24 am

car.eeyore

Yikes. TY KJE. Should have seen those.

10:24 am

redturtlehead

hi ruby.

10:24 am

car.eeyore

15 here Red

10:24 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

I've seen the name Scrabulous somewhere, yeah, can't remember where though!?

10:24 am

rubyfoo

not random, just different -- slightly

10:24 am

godthaab

How many words today?

10:25 am

redturtlehead

64

10:25 am

godthaab

Thanks.

10:25 am

rubyfoo

it's a thing of the past, george

10:25 am

kje

it is random here - every time you log on the board is set up different - unless you save one and reuse it

10:26 am

kje

yes, scrabulous not only used the board but took their name - it was a no brainer lawsuit

10:26 am

rubyfoo

that is different from what I've been playing. It would drive me crazy if they changed the board set up!

10:26 am

kje

it is crazy, ruby - you can play a 5 letter word and hit 2 double letters and 2 triple words - weird stuff

10:27 am

rubyfoo

I would hate that!

10:27 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh yeah

10:27 am

kje

but i never use it - the only game I play on FB is the legit scrabble/hasbro game

10:28 am

kje

going to see if grem has a list - down to 5

10:28 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, he does

10:28 am

car.eeyore

Are there any dh words?

10:28 am

rubyfoo

could you "friend" me kje, I'm nancy kelley on FB, and we could play

10:28 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

no, car

10:28 am

academyguys

what is the clue for the i word at the top?

10:29 am

rubyfoo

start a riot (per kje)

10:29 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, per kje

Hi Haz, Sunny Stranraer is just that today, how about balmy Ballymena?

10:49 am

Haz1558

Oh, we're sweltering here as usual.

10:50 am

redturtlehead

We have had a weather break. its really pleasant.

10:50 am

FMitch

pfft! flipping pouring down here and sweatshirt and socks weather :(

10:50 am

Haz1558

I thought of you a couple of weeks ago - we were at the coast, could see across to Scotland, it was such a clear day.

10:50 am

Haz1558

Hello F (for freezing)Mitch.

10:51 am

FMitch

10:51 am

cybernan

finally cooling down here a bit -- only got to 28C yesterday

10:52 am

lizmac

Right, same sweltering as we're doing, I expect, 'nuff said.

10:52 am

FMitch

How is the groggy Spangletina?

10:52 am

Haz1558

She is almost comically groggy, zonked out in the back garden.

10:53 am

FMitch

awe poor thing, blame it on the cooking sherry ;)

10:53 am

lizmac

If I wasn't better informed I would suspect a touch of schadenfreud towards our south of England friends!!!!

10:53 am

Haz1558

By way of explanation, Spangle had her teeth cleaned plus three extractions at the surgery today. She's swaying and cross-eyed when she walks.

10:54 am

Jellen

Awww....hugs to Spangle!

10:54 am

Haz1558

Now, liz, could you imagine the Northerners ever wishing them ill?

10:55 am

Haz1558

Excellent! I'll look forward to getting it, FM. You mean you went out in all that rain?

10:55 am

FMitch

I did! The things I do for my friends :)

10:56 am

lizmac

No, of course not. I was in London a couple of weeks ago and it looked as if it hadn't rained in six years there, so I'm sure they are grateful for all that lovely rain.

10:56 am

Haz1558

SHine up that halo, FM.

10:57 am

Haz1558

I think there were photos in the paper a while back of Hyde Park which looked really parched.

10:57 am

Haz1558

Look on the bright side, FM, no watering needed for the garden.

10:57 am

lizmac

Anyway, smells like dinner's ready, so I'm off.

call up the florist and tell them what you want and when

2:00 pm

I like to plan too... school starts next week and (because I am a student teacher) have practiced NOT planning the unit I am teaching in October until I meet the kids and get a chance to see what they will benefit from the most.

2:00 pm

jmcnrick

when i got married the wedding people all told me that they were into fall wedding season and I told them my wedding was happening in May and they could either provide me what i needed or I could go somewhere else

2:00 pm

EvaNadine

this flower lady isnt actually a florist, chris's mom knows her through the church. but she does professional-level flowers. shes gonna help us with more than just flowers, though -- decor in general.

2:01 pm

stidmama

good luck with sneaking. *helpful hint: don't announce to people that you are sneaking...*

2:02 pm

We are enjoying a week of cold and lots of lovely rain. athey are actually lifting water restrictions at the end of the month - first time for 3 years. Hooray! we have some water in our dams

4:55 pm

Jellen

brb

4:56 pm

stidgmere

Well, it is always a good feeling to have some water in reserve. We have so much rainfall it is rarely a problem. However, as more people move in, water restrictions have occured more often.

4:59 pm

lynxxx

After 3 years of restrictions we are all water wise and hardly likely to go back to wasting water..we avg 150 litres per person per day and many have installed rainwater tanks &/or use recycled water

5:02 pm

stidgmere

I know the price of gasoline is out of sight but if we went by what is truely valuable, water would be really expensive.

5:06 pm

ChampFit

is there a list stigmere?

5:06 pm

Jellen

Hi, Champ...gremlinn has a list and there's one at Bab Anon

5:06 pm

My Grandbaby started kindergarten today. I can't believe it. I have 1 more Grandbaby that will need me for 2 more years and I look forward to the time with her; but, then what am I supposed to do? It breaks my heart to see them go off to strangers. I cried every year when mine went off to school. I love to be in their lives.

5:27 pm

ChampFit

My kids are 24, 15, and 11. They started school this week, and I was waving happily as they left! ;) Different places in life, right? :)

5:28 pm

gramma

Champ, I cried when all of mine got on that bus or dropped off at college. ( Except the oldest 1. I don't think we even turned the car off. He had given us such a run!)

5:30 pm

gramma

Oh well, I think I'll go make myself a little gramma-juice and relax. Life moves on...like it or not.

5:30 pm

ChampFit

I didn't cry...except when the oldest went to college. that's always rough!

5:32 pm

Jellen

Hi, gramma...just popping in...

5:32 pm

gramma

Not for us. We saw parents hugging and crying and we laughed as we pulled away. He's great now; but, holy smoke he was a trial in HS

5:32 pm

gramma

Hi, Jellen 8)

5:33 pm

ChampFit

Mine was (is) a toot. Never anything bad, but still, the assistant principal would call on occasion. thankfully the last 2 are girls, and we've avoided all that...

5:34 pm

gramma

Oh no you haven't! Batten down the hatches when those 2 get loose.

5:35 pm

ChampFit

You're right...the older one is getting ready to let loose. But we'll see...they all get the benefit of the doubt until they screw up...then the hammer comes DOWN!

5:35 pm

G'nite all. Champ it's nice to get to know you. See you soon.

Wow, I adjusted my FaceBook settings to "no notifications". It's amazing how much email I was getting...

6:09 pm

Jellen

Sing well, Champ (and if not well, at least loud) :-)

6:10 pm

stidmama

hello all! (((Jellen)))

6:10 pm

stidmama

just got back from errands....

6:10 pm

blueheron

hello everyone, our house went on the market today. Sign and all, such a weird feeling seeing the For Sale sign.

6:10 pm

jmcnrick

I bet jell -- mine has been set on that for a while

6:10 pm

Jellen

I think the energy drink has made me a little giddy...

6:10 pm

jmcnrick

hi stiddie

6:10 pm

Jellen

wb, stid

6:11 pm

jmcnrick

hi blue

6:11 pm

Jellen

Hi, blue...it is an odd feeling...

6:11 pm

stidmama

hey blue. wow.... can't imagine how that feels. Hope to never leave my humble hovel.

6:11 pm

blueheron

hi jmc

6:11 pm

stidmama

down to 20 earlier... trying to decide if I want to try to finish.

6:12 pm

Jellen

Sure you do, stid...

6:12 pm

jmcnrick

6:12 pm

Jellen

Bye, jmc

6:12 pm

blueheron

we're ready for a change..from the mountains to the coast.

6:12 pm

Jellen

Which coast?

6:12 pm

blueheron

bye jmc

6:12 pm

stidmama

oh! that would be interesting, for sure!

6:13 pm

blueheron

new hampshire, portsmouth

6:13 pm

stidmama

(that's east coast... LOL)

6:14 pm

blueheron

we love the ocean.

6:14 pm

Jellen

Haven't been to the east coast in ages...

6:14 pm

stidmama

down to 18

6:14 pm

blueheron

that's right stid

6:15 pm

blueheron

we have sailed to the most beautiful beaches..we just love the sea.

6:15 pm

Jellen

<--afraid of water

6:16 pm

Jellen

(except the shower)

6:16 pm

stidmama

I love to be on the water, near the water, in the water... but only when it's warm enough!

6:16 pm

stidmama

I am SO not a sailor though, would rather have my feet in the loam of the garden than the foam of the sea.

6:17 pm

stidmama

why are you afraid of water, jellen? bad experience?

6:18 pm

stidmama

*worried that was too personal a question*

6:19 pm

blueheron

at this time we live in a log house in the White mountains of NH, surrounded by the national forest. One hour to a srore, 3 miles to our mail\box. We are ready to leave. Bye the way Stid I love gardening and always will.

6:20 pm

stidmama

that actually sounds nice too, blue -- except we also live quite a way from the actual town (only 20 minutes to a real store though), so I know how wearying isolation can be

6:20 pm

stidmama

being in a seaside town where there are more people and easier access to the water does sound wonderful

6:21 pm

Jellen

A number of experiences as a child, stid...plus my parents didn't put me in swim lessons until after I developed my fear...

6:21 pm

Jellen

brb

6:21 pm

blueheron

bye

6:21 pm

stidmama

6:21 pm

stidmama

6:22 pm

Jellen

lil*monkey says "hi"...I'm chatting with her on FB...

6:23 pm

stidmama

hey monkey! *waves by proxy*

6:30 pm

Jillyjill

Hello babblers!

6:31 pm

stidmama

hey jilly!

6:31 pm

Jillyjill

Quite the grid today!!

6:31 pm

Jillyjill

How are classes going stid?

6:32 pm

stidmama

not teaching yet, jilly -- have a master's program all-day thingy on Friday (NOT looking forward to it), then two prep days next tues-wed, and kids arrive thursday...

6:32 pm

stidmama

*worried mama look* my lack of panic is worrying me...

6:33 pm

Jillyjill

lol, that's because you have it together!!

6:33 pm

stidmama

rofl... if ONLY! *chortle*

6:34 pm

stidmama

12 now... *sigh* so slow without lickety!

6:35 pm

Jillyjill

51 here...was happy with 1/2 yesterday, much easier with the larger grids...hard to accept here

6:35 pm

stidmama

go jilly go!

6:35 pm

Jillyjill

Hope Lickety is having a nice vacation!

6:35 pm

stidmama

half is easier for some reason... I didn't intend to get this far, but it seemed to go okay today.

6:38 pm

Jillyjill

My eyes are gradually seeing things...

6:39 pm

stidmama

that's how it works for me... a little bit at a time.

6:40 pm

Jillyjill

I try and think of it as a relaxing activity and not the FW achievement...I did say TRY....

6:41 pm

stidmama

*grin* it's hard for me to let go when I am in "school" mode. I drop in, decide I have X minutes to play and if I hit halfway before my time is up then I chat and keep working as long as I have.

6:41 pm

stidmama

babble keeps me "sane"

6:42 pm

Jillyjill

Yep, I need to learn from you as I am taking a graduate course; two sessions this summer, two next summer and all work due Dec 2011...gotta get to work on what is assigned for this year!

6:43 pm

stidmama

FINALLY got the last H...

6:43 pm

stidmama

yes, grad school at our age is rough.

6:44 pm

Jillyjill

One of my biggest concerns is writing at a grad level...it's been 31 years since I was last in college!! I have dumbed down I fear!

6:45 pm

stidmama

no... you will be fine with your writing. Remember that schools have writing centers... and many of us here at babble can help, too.

6:45 pm

Jillyjill

Babble words alone do!!

6:46 pm

stidmama

my best advice is what you already know... give yourself enough time to set the work aside and come back at least 24 hours later before you revise and edit. Also, have someone who is NOT familiar with the topic read it. Often my Tom has realized that my internal logic was inconsistent BECAUSE his mind couldn't fill in the blanks.

6:48 pm

stidmama

oh. down to ten!!!!!

6:48 pm

Jillyjill

Great idea! I also have a friend doing this with me. It's for a certificate in Youth Ministry and some homework involves holding meetings and trainings which we can do together.

6:48 pm

stidmama

it's going to cool down here A LOT, and start drizzling.

6:48 pm

featherbee

peekaboo

stidmama

hey feather!

Ok, it's too early, but I need a clue for the ac5/12

featherbee

6:49 pm

stidmama

I was going to say "partner in crime" but realized that might not be the right phrase for youth ministers...

6:49 pm

Jillyjill

Hi feather!

6:50 pm

stidmama

zitted, jilly

6:50 pm

stidmama

oh! I was wrong, that is the 5/14. you want the one like the fancy mushrooms... ac + porc***

6:50 pm

Jillyjill

featherbee

6:58 pm

stidmama

But now.... I need to get the kids their supper so we can meet Tom at the theater later.

6:58 pm

featherbee

oh, thanks!

6:59 pm

stidmama

7:02 pm

Jellen

7:03 pm

Jellen

I kept in touch with the outside world through phone calls, but that was my limit...

7:04 pm

Jellen

Tried to call shdy, but no answer...

7:04 pm

featherbee

when did you last talk with her?

7:04 pm

Jellen

Monday

7:04 pm

Jillyjill

She was on last night, but didn't chat much.

7:04 pm

Jellen

Oh, good!

7:04 pm

featherbee

i hope things are seeming a little less black for her

7:05 pm

featherbee

wonder if she's reluctant to chat with us, afraid we'll pounce on her

7:05 pm

Jillyjill

I think her mom lent her $$ to get AC fixed. Loan fell thru

7:06 pm

Jellen

Me too...I'd be hard pressed to be positive...what's his name cleaned her out, and her aircon broke down...

7:06 pm

Jellen

Yay for moms!!

7:06 pm

featherbee

7:06 pm

featherbee

7:06 pm

Jillyjill

Don't quote me who, but her AC was being repaired

7:07 pm

Jellen

I thought it was fun...

7:07 pm

Jillyjill

The grid is growing on me

7:07 pm

featherbee

7:08 pm

Jillyjill

can't find the ce4/6; anyone care to clue please?

7:08 pm

featherbee

gonna go see about the thing....brb. LOL

7:09 pm

Christine

I think she said she's been with this man for a very long time, which would make it harder to accept his rotten treatment of her - tho' she said on her profile that they were together 'for now'. Still, the end ofa long-time relationship ...

7:09 pm

Jellen

ce + I can't **cide if I'm going to give you a clue...

7:09 pm

Christine

to hand over

7:10 pm

7:16 pm

lbdawger

what about the antique store?

7:16 pm

Jellen

I'm not going through with it...

7:16 pm

lbdawger

i understand.

7:17 pm

Jellen

It would take a miracle to find someone to run it for me, because I'm a horrible business person...

7:18 pm

lbdawger

i can understand that too. I'd be in the hole before i opened the doors!

7:18 pm

Jellen

The bookstore drained a lot of my savings before I gave it up...

7:19 pm

lbdawger

as a passion, i'm better off not owning a bookstore, i'd definitely be bankrupt

7:19 pm

Christine

8:57 pm

dan2bit

she is up to grinning with her whole toothless face, as only a baby can :-D

8:57 pm

dan2bit

and experimenting with her voice, and feet and hands

8:58 pm

lbdawger

grinning...yup too cute! ooh body exploration! also a lot of fun, time to let her feel lots of different textures

8:58 pm

dan2bit

when i get home from work, we play a little call and response game. I will say something and pause, and she will "speak" back to me. Oooh good idea about the textures

8:59 pm

Jellen

back again...

8:59 pm

lbdawger

uhm, keep swiffer away, don't think he'd appreciate having hair pulled

8:59 pm

dan2bit

hiya jellen (hugs)

8:59 pm

lbdawger

welcome back, Jellen

9:00 pm

dan2bit

I think swiffer is probably still too fast for her. She has a good grip, but not so much for moving things.

9:00 pm

dan2bit

also she still stays where we put her, though she has rolled over a couple of times

9:00 pm

lbdawger

shapes are also good for her to explore. lots of toys in different shapes and textures.

9:00 pm

Jellen

Swiffer...what a great name!

9:01 pm

dan2bit

yep she's a fuzzy pomeranian who cleans the floors, so it fits!

9:01 pm

lbdawger

9:52 pm

Pinikula

Oh, have to tell you I ordered gnocchi...had I been at home alone I would have licked the bowl, it was soooo good!

9:53 pm

mcurlschool

it's hard for me to say about the dog; he can make me laugh but to be honest I really didn't want anymore pets especially after moving in to our new house and tada....we've got a "squatter" LOL

9:53 pm

mcurlschool

Hi jellen

9:53 pm

Pinikula

* giggle *

9:53 pm

mcurlschool

I'm glad you found something on the menu; I would have probably sat with stid and had nothing

9:53 pm

Pinikula

I'd always been afraid of dogs...until my dau got her first one about 2 months before Koda "arrived"

9:54 pm

Pinikula

It would have been nice to find a more "neutral" place, but I'm not familiar with the area...

9:55 pm

mcurlschool

we seem to be the "boarding" house! Her last dog ended up living here because she moved to Germany!

9:55 pm

mcurlschool

Stid said she went with that one because of it's closeness to the market. It was ok. It wasn't to food that mattered it was the great company!

9:56 pm

Pinikula

t'was good company...sorry you had to leave so soon!

9:56 pm
