12:30 am

jillibus

night s'mom (who is jim qwilleran?)

12:31 am

jillibus

I hear Earl fizzled to a Tropical Storm, not a hurricane

12:31 am

VolleymomDee

He says tonight, "Did you realize that the winds were 80 mph when we were there?" I said, "YES! That is why I was scared half to death and could have strangled you because you slept through it!" Scared me to death!

12:32 am

Bugsaw

hi lady

2:44 am

herinfernallady

Hi.

2:44 am

herinfernallady

O I missed Lore :(

2:44 am

sprite

yeah:( Just.

2:46 am

herinfernallady

How you today Sprite

2:46 am

sprite

apart from back problems, all is well. And how is your day going?

2:47 am

herinfernallady

It is cold and crappy and I have cranky pants on

2:48 am

sprite

*hugs lady* You are a sweetie anyway.

2:50 am

herinfernallady

Awww.

2:50 am

herinfernallady

I am watching this vet on tv I want to smack him

2:50 am

lynxxx

Afternoon, not cold Infernal - just wet

2:51 am

sprite

smack a pillow until you are real tired, hun

2:51 am

sprite

hi lyn! xxx

2:51 am

lynxxx

Anyone remember where Kiwi lived, aside from South Island?

2:51 am

herinfernallady

It is Lynxx

2:51 am

lynxxx

hi Spritey. How was your husbands sleep over!?

2:51 am

sprite

new sealand is all i know, sorry

2:52 am

herinfernallady

Sprite it is just one of those things that annoy me. Like the dog is anxious about going for walks give him anti anxiety pills instead of positive reinforcement.

2:52 am

lynxxx

There was a sizeable earthquake in Christchurch last night, just hoping you missed it

2:53 am

lynxxx

you! Groovy I mean

2:53 am

sprite

went pretty well. He thinks he slept most of the night, so they should have enough data. He showered twice to get rid of the glue!

2:53 am

herinfernallady

Groovy is in the Top end she and hers is fine

2:53 am

lynxxx

terrfic, thanks Infernal

2:54 am

herinfernallady

You know the first island at the bottom?

2:54 am

sprite

am glad, lady. *hugs Kiwi*

2:54 am

lynxxx

I only know the North and South Islands

2:55 am

herinfernallady

up Top island is her bottom island was earthquake

2:55 am

sprite

that is so stupid, lady. Not much dogs won't do for positive enforcement as in treats and cuddles.

2:57 am

herinfernallady

Seriously my cat gets it. You put her harness on she goes outside for a play then straight inside to her food bowl. Also the thing is he should have vet checked the dog to see if there was a throat issue and if not then gone a harness. Start with harness on treats and play then play then lead then play and treats and so on

2:57 am

lynxxx

Found her in Rankings, she is in Wellington - at the bottom of the North Island

2:58 am

sprite

you got it, lady.

2:58 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all.

2:58 am

lynxxx

2:58 am

Haz1558

Hello!

2:59 am

lynxxx

Yes Sprite, earthquake was half way down the South Island

2:59 am

sprite

am very sorry for the people on South, but glad Kiwi should be okay.

3:03 am

herinfernallady

HI Haz

3:03 am

lynxxx

ki5.22 - cute that it took

3:03 am

sprite

new word for me: og6

3:04 am

lynxxx

what are the points on that word Sprite?

3:04 am

sprite

og6/30

3:05 am

lynxxx

TY

3:05 am

sprite

I will confess that is one sweet K word ;)

3:06 am

herinfernallady

Sprite I tried that and ti just didn't work

3:07 am

FMitch

Morning/evening all.

3:07 am

herinfernallady

HI FM

3:07 am

Haz1558

Good morning, FM.

3:07 am

lynxxx

morning FM

3:07 am

sprite

hi FM :)

3:08 am

FMitch

Hello hello, and the sun is shining :)

3:08 am

sprite

how odd, lady?

3:08 am

herinfernallady

Did it again it worked

3:08 am

lynxxx

Its pouring down here - flooding all over the place - good for dams though!

3:09 am

sprite

ah go4 :)

3:09 am

FMitch

was delighted that the k5 was accepted by enable, didn't think it would.

3:09 am

lynxxx

a group of 8 - who knew - TY Sprite

3:10 am

FMitch

*passes wellington boots and umbrella to lynxxx*

3:10 am

sprite

yvw lyn, it is a nice word, isn't it. Will try and remember it.

3:10 am

herinfernallady

Lynxx I noticed that Falls Creek had 59 mill all day

3:10 am

sprite

it can also mean the number itself, lyn.

3:11 am

lynxxx

we are OK here - you wouldn't want to be up the country without wellies and a boat though!

3:11 am

rubyfoo

good morning everybody

3:11 am

FMitch

Morning ruby.

3:11 am

lynxxx

hi Ruby

3:11 am

sprite

it is either wellies or a boat, lol. If the boat twists, wellies will keep you under.

3:12 am

sprite

morning rubyfoo

3:12 am

FMitch

A fun selection of words in the grid so far today.

3:12 am

lynxxx

I'll remember that

3:12 am

herinfernallady

HI Ruby

3:12 am

Haz1558

And Fm heads to the PB...

3:13 am

herinfernallady

Screw the wellies you need gators

3:13 am

sprite

*grin* I have restocked the pb. It will have many visitors today.

3:13 am

FMitch

*le sigh* hadn't got to the g's

3:13 am

sprite

lolll lady

3:13 am

lynxxx

poor FM, cant take a tr***

3:13 am

sprite

Gs are go4 today. Some very nice finds.

3:14 am

herinfernallady

Poor buggers up by the border are flooded

3:14 am

FMitch

I've just been pecking at words out of order today

3:14 am

rubyfoo

jumping in, tired already and it's only 10AM! Saw the mayor this AM, preparatory to the meeting with the "procurer" and judge. She found me the name of a good lawyer!

3:14 am

lynxxx

what a rebel FM has turned into

3:15 am

sprite

welcome to the free spirits, FM

3:15 am

Haz1558

I worry abut her, lynxxx. Next thing she'll be giving three letter clues.

3:15 am

lynxxx

Is this going to cost you Ruby or will they have to wear the costs?

3:15 am

FMitch

The Mayor works on a Saturday, that has to be g4

3:15 am

rubyfoo

hopefully, they'll have to pay for the lawyer.

3:15 am

sprite

it is taking a lot of energy, isn't it rubyfoo.

3:16 am

lynxxx

BBS need to check cake is done (yum yum)

3:16 am

rubyfoo

she came in, along with the local policeman, just for the appointment. She is not full-time, though, as this is a very small village

3:16 am

FMitch

I can always get the hockey sticks and snakes out of the cupboard to aid the clues if you want?

3:16 am

rubyfoo

I am worn down by this

3:17 am

Haz1558

It's funny, we don't seem to have the same trouble with snakes and things any more.

3:17 am

FMitch

Hang in there ruby.

3:17 am

herinfernallady

Hugs ruby

3:18 am

rubyfoo

thank you both; DH was the injured one, but you can imagine what the rest is like! Now I have to gather "written" testyimony from all the witnesses

3:19 am

lynxxx

Would not the police have done that?

3:19 am

herinfernallady

Haz question

3:19 am

Haz1558

Okay?

3:19 am

rubyfoo

no. They got our testimony for the formal complaint and found the dog (no small matter, that), but that is all they can do. And the dog is home now :(

3:20 am

herinfernallady

Is there such thing as a non alergic dog?

3:20 am

sprite

mexican nude dog?

3:20 am

FMitch

Haz is always questionable ;)

3:20 am

sprite

highly :D

3:21 am

lynxxx

Perhaps you can ask for a police escort to protect you from the dog whilst you traipse around getting testimonials - how ridiculous!

3:21 am

rubyfoo

I think hairless chihuaha! eeew

3:21 am

herinfernallady

not the Xolotl or Hairless things

3:21 am

rubyfoo

and the dog must be muzzled and only walked at certain hours. Who is going to enforce that?

3:21 am

Haz1558

People tend to be allergic to the dander, rather than the hair, I think. Some breeds are more easily lived with than others.

3:22 am

sprite

that is up to the police... I'd ask all the supportive people in your village to call the police every time the dog is seen without muzzle or at a wrong time.

3:22 am

lynxxx

The good thing is that probably everyone in the village will 'police' that

3:23 am

rubyfoo

I think I'll have to go door-to-door!

3:23 am

rubyfoo

the owner of the dog wouldn't look at the photos when the police went there

3:23 am

herinfernallady

Thanks Haz

3:23 am

herinfernallady

Screw muzzling the dog the owner should be muzzled too

3:24 am

FMitch

Just found a Japanese form of self defence - think I will let the monkeys finish the g4 for me today.

3:24 am

sprite

it is almost impossible to convince a person of a truth he or she does not want to acknowledge, rubyfoo. My favorite option would be to chain the owner to the dog.

3:24 am

sprite

permanently when outdoors.

3:25 am

lynxxx

Is all France like your village Ruby. There appears to be some very odd attitudes

3:26 am

sprite

it is the one my children and I practice, lyn :D

3:26 am

rubyfoo

I don't have enough experience to say, but the dog is classed as a "2" on a scale of 1 - 4, 4 being the most dangerous

3:27 am

lynxxx

2 = eats human flesh. Wow - wonder what 4 does?

3:27 am

rubyfoo

aaaarghhh!

3:27 am

sprite

probably because it was a 'first offence'. If it should attack again, it would 'upgrade' to 4. Awful.

3:28 am

sprite

4 = shoots to maim, then eat?

3:28 am

rubyfoo

and the woman adopted it when it was 7!

3:28 am

herinfernallady

Any dog that does that damage here would get a one way trip to the vet

3:28 am

rubyfoo

in the US, too!

3:29 am

sprite

yep, the laws here are very different too

3:29 am

herinfernallady

Or the dog would be locked up and not allowed out with a special collar and identification.

3:30 am

rubyfoo

I feel sick, but am trying not to show husband how upset I am

3:30 am

Haz1558

There's no point in saying what might happen elsewhere. It's France, you have to go by French laws.

3:30 am

Haz1558

How long is it since it happened - a month?

3:31 am

sprite

I have fireworks... bye all, have fun with the gr4.

3:31 am

rubyfoo

yes, 4 or 5 weeks, 30 July

3:31 am

Haz1558

Bye, sprite.

3:31 am

rubyfoo

you are so smart, sprite!!!

3:31 am

lynxxx

Stay strong Ruby. At least you will meet the neighbours and find out how much support you have

3:31 am

herinfernallady

Bye Sprite

3:31 am

lynxxx

Bye Spritey, Congrats!

3:32 am

FMitch

Congrats and bye spritey.

3:32 am

rubyfoo

so far, they've been very nice and have come forward freely

3:33 am

herinfernallady

Ruby how is MR and Mrs Dog owner treated in town?

3:34 am

rubyfoo

I don't know as, since the town has no shopping to speak of, we never see them except the man accosted husband yesterday when he was walking our dog in front of our house (he lives on a parallel street!)

3:35 am

herinfernallady

hmmph

3:36 am

caitlyn

Good morning all....

3:36 am

herinfernallady

Hi Cait

rubyfoo

half!

3:39 am

caitlyn

I wanted a bigger gr4/7 today as I have been up early and done the housework it will be a long day!

3:40 am

Haz1558

It's a bit of a shame when you've mentally prepared yourself for a day of babbling and the gr4/7 lets you down.

3:44 am

FMitch

Hey cait!

3:44 am

Haz1558

Well, I suppose I've got no excuse not to be getting on with other things so I'll bid farewell. Bye for now!

3:44 am

3:45 am

Sorry am in the middle of drafting a very pointed email to a British Gas meter replacement co.

3:45 am

FMitch

3:45 am

rubyfoo

how pointed?

3:46 am

caitlyn

phone back in a moment

3:46 am

rubyfoo

uh oh, upstairs stomping! not my pups, either.....

3:46 am

rubyfoo

*poof*

3:46 am

FMitch

they expect me to be in for a 12 hour period even though the meter is outside the main property.

3:47 am

lynxxx

so, 12 hours @ - what was your hourly rate again?

3:47 am

FMitch

and British Gas are running an ad campaign at the mo saying you call us/can't get through we will call you back - like heck. tried twice and still waiting.

*rant over*

3:48 am

FMitch

lol exactly lynxxx, don't think I haven't thought about that.

3:50 am

FMitch

Anyhoo - guess I had better get on with the day but shall return later. Happy Babbling all.

3:50 am

lynxxx

bye FM, enjoy the sunshine

3:50 am

car.eeyore

Tee Hee! Scrabs said "dump"!

7:55 am

featherbee

i took the boys for a walk up the creek yesterday. i decided to cut from the creek to a trail, up a big hill. daniel was complaining the whole time and nick kept saying "i too yittle!"

7:55 am

car.eeyore

Oh Feather! So cute!

7:55 am

Scrabbler

I do feel like Daniel, Nick + other Babblers' kids + grandkids are MY kids to keep healthy + safe.

7:56 am

car.eeyore

7:57 am

Scrabbler

7:58 am

car.eeyore

I know Scrabs! I was just being silly!

7:58 am

Scrabbler

"I too yittle."--cute! I recall my nephews claiming that they suddenly had broken legs so that I would have to carry them.

7:58 am

herinfernallady

Scrabbler that is good you got to go out

7:58 am

Scrabbler

Car, I did not say "bowel dump."

Boobear

12:33 pm

Bugsaw

Many people came to Vancouver for the Olympics this year and lots came back this summer.

12:33 pm

Bugsaw

There is so much to see here if you like the beauty of the outdoors

12:36 pm

Bugsaw

How do I set up trillian Boobear?

12:37 pm

Boobear

you have to download it and follow directions

12:37 pm

Boobear

it is easy to do it

12:37 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

ha! blimey, that's really amazing, interesting info in your bio Bugsaw, about the nudibranches!!

12:37 pm

Bugsaw

I kept trying to follow the rules to set up an account on Yahoo and once it had all the info, it would revert back to the beginning again. I got WAY too frustrated. I will try Trillian.

12:38 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh yeah, well Trillian wouldn't be much good for me, coz I do a lot of photosharing on yahoo and msn messengers and you can't do any of that using Trillian!

12:38 pm

Bugsaw

I didn't know that was why they were so brightly coloured until I read that George.

12:38 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

do you have a yahoo account, Bugsaw?

12:38 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh yeah, I sent an invite to there!

12:38 pm

Bugsaw

No, it was Yahoo that didn't seem to want me

12:38 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

Jill and flosey are on there and other folk you know!

12:38 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

other babblers......

12:39 pm

Bugsaw

lots of people use it but they have more luck with computers than I do.

12:39 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah that's amazing, Bugsaw -- does the nudibranch know it's doing that, is it purposeful or just happens to happen, if ya know what I mean!?

12:39 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

luck?

12:40 pm

Bugsaw

For instance last night I was playing Babble and got the two 7 letter words almost right away but the Word Stats said they were still missing. I had 48 word before it decided to record that I had found 2

12:40 pm

Bugsaw

This morning it is working fine.

12:41 pm

Bugsaw

I don't think nudibranches have brains. I think it is just another wonder of creation

12:42 pm

1:14 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

cu5 = to slice + most common english verb

1:14 pm

lexophile

1:15 pm

lexophile

"I was trying to use the "k"!

1:15 pm

Boobear

I had trouble with that too

1:15 pm

ChrissieDee

my phamton is "idiot" - goes wel with yours Gwen

1:16 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

scoring system is like this: number of tile points time the number of letters in the word

1:16 pm

lexophile

this game makes me feel like that Chrissie

1:17 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

so, for example, a 5,14 word = one 3=pt tile [argle] or two 2-pt tiles [harsh]

1:17 pm

lexophile

didn't realize that, Gwen... thought it was just like scrabble

1:17 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

name for a bar no one would go to: The Drooling Idiot

1:18 pm

Boobear

this puzzle is so small but it takes forever to find words

1:18 pm

1:18 pm

lexophile

never understood how to score on this site

1:18 pm

ChrissieDee

sounds like the bar at the end of the night

1:18 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i have a cheat sheet for myself because i can't do the scoring in my head

1:18 pm

ChrissieDee

I think the scoring system is detailed in the help information lexo

1:18 pm

Boobear

or drooling ad 6

1:19 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

another example: 6,42 = one 6 and a 4 [vertex] or two 5s [weskit] or a 5, a 3, and two 2s [yeuked] or two 4s and two 2s [miffed]

1:19 pm

lexophile

Book Doctor Gwen

or a monkey. OY

1:30 pm

rubyfoo

go** night everybody

1:30 pm

m9f9l

just found this googling: There are many stories of the origin of the term 'monkey dish', but none of them are verified. Here are a few of them:

It is a bowl the size a monkey would use.

It is a bowl that was originally made from a monkey's skull.

It is a shallow bowl the size of a monkey's hand.

Royalty once had small portions of their food fed to monkeys to be sure it wasn't poisoned.

Bell hops wore caps similar to those worn by organ grinder monkeys. The bell hops became known as 'monkeys,' and the smaller dishes were used by these 'monkeys' to serve in-room guests.

The list goes on.

1:31 pm

Boobear

...and also have no clue that they're really words... ;)

2:17 pm

MetFan

yw - anyone else want clues before i poof out?

2:20 pm

lexophile

sometimes it's the baby words that kill me... clue for od 4,6?

2:20 pm

MetFan

OK then - Happy Babbling all - it's a tough grid but if you use Lickety you should get it done quickly.

2:21 pm

MetFan

I've found that my computer's security will not let me on The Babble-Dabble, because it is a malware threat. Has anyone else found this??

2:22 pm

MetFan

The od4,6 - describing the poem

2:23 pm

ChrissieDee

what is Babble-Dabble Met?

2:25 pm

lexophile

thx once again, met... wasn't looking up for that one

2:25 pm

MetFan

It's a site that will list you all words with the clue letters and point amounts you enter. For ex - you put in od4, 6, click "show me the words", and it will list all possible answers for that clue. But it can harm your computer by going there now, so unless the guy who put it up fixes it, I wouldn't advise it.

2:26 pm

ChrissieDee

oh, I use morewords, that seems to be quite safe

2:26 pm

MetFan

Can I get to morewords by googling it?

2:26 pm

ChrissieDee

it's just morewords.com

2:26 pm

wildcat17

www.morewords.com

lbdawger

hi everyone!

6:46 pm

stidmama

hey LBD

6:47 pm

lbdawger

hey there, stiddy!

6:48 pm

stidmama

how was your week LBD? I am EXHAUSTED -- and the kids were only in the classroom two days!

6:48 pm

rururocks

stidkid is in the grid

6:48 pm

rururocks

and almost stidkidlet .. does that mean anything?

6:49 pm

Kalyn

ruru ...PB

6:49 pm

lbdawger

i'm a pooped ol' dawg, today. but otherwise the week went well. have overnights starting tomorrow.

6:49 pm

stidmama

hey ruru! LOL so they are!

6:49 pm

stidmama

overnights? forever why?

6:50 pm

lbdawger

3 nights of graves, cuz we have a stock room that's overfull, and not enough hours or people to do the work during store hours.

6:50 pm

lbdawger

hi ru, hi kalyn

6:51 pm

stidmama

that's too bad, LBD. Wish the owners could get enough day staff in.

6:53 pm

lbdawger

it's corporate, and the gm is an idiot!

6:53 pm

stidmama

oh, I used to work for a large retailer like that. ((LBD)) sorry, what a bummer

6:54 pm

lbdawger

i really don't mind the graves, it's extra pay, and it's only 3 nights. so, maybe we'll actually get caught up on getting out stock!

6:55 pm

stidmama

That would be nicE!

6:56 pm

lbdawger

any plans for the weekend?

6:57 pm

stidmama

just writing lesson plans on an unfamiliar template... getting my wardrobe ready for the coming week, re-arranging my workspace in the living room, writing a paper and sleeping as much as possible. You?

6:57 pm

lbdawger

nothing so exciting! lol just work.

6:57 pm

stidmama

oh. and Tom has approved my getting a BIG laptop to work on at home, since the netbook screen is no longer big enough for me to use now that I require really big magnification to see text.

6:58 pm

lbdawger

oooh, nice!

6:58 pm

lbdawger

not nice about needing more magnification, just nice to have a larger laptop. what are you going to get?

6:59 pm

stidmama

I had been hoping to use the financial aid in excess of tuition for the travel costs and a few meals out, but I think the computer is necessary. :-( I don't like having eyeball problems.

7:00 pm

stidmama

Tom has wanted a Macbook for some time, So I am getting a 15" macbook pro because I can get antiglare screen and it's big enough to see but still portable if I must. (I would like the Macbook Air, but it doesn't come with a big enough screen)

7:01 pm

stidmama

oh. And I am starting the process to get a disability determination through the college -- I need to have some help getting things read onto tape or pre-magnified if possible...

7:01 pm

lbdawger

haven't played with a mac in ages!

7:02 pm

stidmama

Tom really likes the one he uses at work, apparently.

7:02 pm

rururocks

a mac or a big mac lbd?

7:02 pm

lbdawger

either, ru

7:03 pm

lbdawger

magnification should be easy enough, getting things on tape might be harder, depending on who is doing the talking.

7:03 pm

lbdawger

*grrr, having fits with internet exploder tonight*

7:04 pm

stidmama

true. Problem is, even with magnification, I find that my eyes really can only handle reading;/computer tasks for about 4 hours a day, 5 if I push it (which causes headaches).

7:04 pm

stidmama

oh oh LBD... *hands bowl of calming ice cream*

7:05 pm

lbdawger

well, you shouldn't be at your computer those long stretches of time! take short breaks after an hour, stiddy.

7:06 pm

stidmama

I do. I can't see close work at all after an hour... but each time I sit down to work, it's harder to make sense of the text. It's frustrating. Only a year ago I could read 8 hours straight...

7:06 pm

stidmama

but I can read faster when things are magnified, which makes better use of my eyeball time/

7:07 pm

lbdawger

have you tried using the zoom on your pc?

7:08 pm

stidmama

I don't have a PC. I have a netbook! And yes, increasing the magnification works... to a point. scrolling back and forth too much makes me seasick. hence, the 15" screen I am getting.

7:09 pm

lbdawger

yeah, that back and forth would get nauseating

7:10 pm

stidmama

Thing is, I am farsighted. So needing magnification is counter-intuitive. But it really helps.

7:11 pm

stidmama

rofl... I almost didn't see the AD 6! *NOT addicated... no no no!* (but who's in denial?)

7:11 pm

stidmama

TEN now...

7:11 pm

lbdawger

go stiddy!!

7:12 pm

stidmama

is the AI 6 fishy?

7:13 pm

lbdawger

not really. think martial arts

7:13 pm

rururocks

no

7:13 pm

stidmama

thanks LBD. got it.

7:15 pm

lbdawger

you're awful quiet, ru

7:15 pm

stidmama

some fishies for me today, that's for sure!

7:16 pm

stidmama

oh! did someone forget to let you out of the PB? *opens door and puts a nice pinot noir nearby*

7:16 pm

stidmama

oh wait. you're not drinking ... *considers*

*replaces wine with travel brochures*

7:17 pm

Hi Riverdance, we are enjoying a lovely evening. Hope the recent storm didn't get too close to you.

9:35 pm

GreyWoulf

HI all

SaraY -- welcome to the madhouse -- we don'

9:35 pm

GreyWoulf

oops

9:35 pm

Minveryork

Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?

9:35 pm

Minveryork

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

9:35 pm

Pinikula

crossy only bites if you smell or taste like BACON!! LOL

9:36 pm

herinfernallady

WOULFIE

9:36 pm

Pinikula

Hi greywolf, min, anyone else I missed

9:36 pm

Riverdance

I was actually disappointed stidg that there was no hurricane - it was built up all week and we had 15 minutes of rain - lol

9:36 pm

GreyWoulf

we don't bite and welcome new voices into the pool all the time -- don't worry about fitting in, we adapt to fit you :-)

9:36 pm

herinfernallady

Thanks Pini. I have written it down. Hi min

9:36 pm

herinfernallady

Woulfie were you been?

9:36 pm

Pinikula

ok :)

9:37 pm

stidgmere

Well, we finally got the little boat in the water and the birds decided it was there for them. So, then we got a fancy battery/solar powered bird deterrer with moving parts and shiny tape. That works, for now. Life is always moving one way or another.

9:37 pm

Riverdance

now I think we scared her off with our babble love *sigh*

9:37 pm

GreyWoulf

Working way too hard, lady -- it is not fun trying to replace your entire warehouse staff while keeping the flow up to speed

9:37 pm

stidgmere

15 minutes of rain. Well, better than chasing after your roof and outbuildings.

9:37 pm

Riverdance

Stidgmere - You have a lovely home - loved the photos of the babble meet

9:38 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Stidg

9:38 pm

stidgmere

Thank you riverdance, we have been here a long time and have the luxury of time to make improvments. Hi my dear herinfernallady. Herein called herin.

9:38 pm

GreyWoulf

in addition -- I am working with one of my bosses to develop a new position within the company... defining the responsibilities so corporate HQ will approve is a pain

9:39 pm

herinfernallady

Stid some parts here have had 80 mil in under 12 hours poor guys

9:39 pm

herinfernallady

Grey jsut make sure that you make teh position description to the right level so many people out there work about the level they should be doing and suck at their job

9:40 pm

stidgmere

The corporate world, the Man in the Grey Flannel Suit, or not. Oh my, too much rain for absorbtion, I'm afraid.

9:40 pm

GreyWoulf

other than that, World of Warcraft keeps sucking me in and distracting me since it is easier to play WoW for 30 mins at a time than it is to finish a gr4 in the same timeframe

9:40 pm

herinfernallady

o dear lord not Warcrack

9:40 pm

Riverdance

oh not enough rain......lol

9:41 pm

herinfernallady

Stidg the good thing with this rain is the rivers will flush out. Bad is the trees may fall and there is poo in some water supplies

9:41 pm

SaraY

thank you all, much appreciated

9:41 pm

GreyWoulf

lady -- I definitely agree there -- it is called the 'Peter Principle' -- a person rises to their level of incompetence and then stays there

9:41 pm

Pinikula

Oooooh, much better! I actually put my glasses on!! LOL

9:42 pm

lbdawger

gee, are you talkin' about my gm?

9:42 pm

m9f9l

hi all!

9:42 pm

lbdawger

ho woulfie!!

9:42 pm

Pinikula

hi m9 ;)

9:42 pm

lbdawger

welcome, sara

9:42 pm

Riverdance

Hey M9 - your icon is scaring me....

9:42 pm

GreyWoulf

hey lbd!

9:42 pm

lbdawger

hi everyone who've popped in

9:43 pm

stidgmere

I think I will leave the grid for now. Tomorrow being another day and all that. Nice to get some of the words. Take care everyone.

9:43 pm

Riverdance

good night stidgmere

9:43 pm

lbdawger

night, stidgmere

9:43 pm

m9f9l

LOL river.. I took that this morning!

9:44 pm

m9f9l

perfect for the theme of invertebrates.. no?

9:44 pm

SaraY

I am also leaving with 2+ hours left and 30 words to get. Father's Day here and other things to do. Hope to get in on the next grid.

9:44 pm

Riverdance

perfect - but doesnt mean it cant scare me

9:45 pm

Pinikula

enjoy, saray...come again! :)

9:45 pm

m9f9l

they don't bite. we get them in our laundry tub in the basement sometimes.

9:45 pm

Pinikula

Silverfish???

9:45 pm

Riverdance

good night SaraY = see you next time

9:45 pm

GreyWoulf

Anytime you can make it will a great time, SaraY -- niters

9:46 pm

lbdawger

bye, sara. don't forget to come back!

9:46 pm

herinfernallady

Night Sara

9:46 pm

m9f9l

no.. silverfish are little.

9:47 pm

herinfernallady

Grey the problem with that is there is so many managers that have been promoted without companies suppot

9:47 pm

m9f9l

the body on these is over an inch

9:47 pm

Pinikula

how big is that one in your icon?

9:47 pm

Pinikula

OH MY...never seen those before...

9:48 pm

GreyWoulf

that I can agree with from personal experience, lady -- when I was with the bookstore, they promoted me due to convenience -- they needed a new manager during the xmas season and felt a stranger would hurt the store's ability to function

9:49 pm

m9f9l

its a "house centipede"

9:49 pm

GreyWoulf

then when I asked for help because I noticed some odd things going on, they ignored me until months later -- at that point, they felt I was responsible and fired me

9:50 pm

m9f9l

Grey that's terrible.

9:50 pm

lbdawger

promotion by convenience...yup, that and too lazy to look for someone with the creds to do the job right. ahh, then the blame game...

9:50 pm

crosshair

nothing worse than when the higher-ups see crap coming,they circle the wagons and pick a fall guy..i have been there myself greywoulf

9:51 pm

GreyWoulf

But the Peter Principle is actually based on the observation that much of corporate structure these days is based on the idea that a new title is necessary to justify giving a boost to salary

9:51 pm

Minveryork

Did anyone else notice that "stidkid" is on the puzzle

9:51 pm

Pinikula

ru announced it at flip, min! too cute! :)

9:51 pm

crosshair

we have indeed min as well as stiddle

9:52 pm

m9f9l

so glad I'm not in retail management anymore

9:52 pm

crosshair

lol,they spoon around titles to justify their existance,it is the low end boys in the basement shovelling the coaL that get stuff done in many cases

9:53 pm

GreyWoulf

Apparently the average worker can't deal with the idea that they should be paid based on their productivity instead of the fact that they fill a particular position... I have known janitors that deserved a better salary than the area supervisor

9:53 pm

lbdawger

and the more oomph the title has the more of a golden parachute you'll get. or at least a clean hankie

9:53 pm

crosshair

lol sanp

9:53 pm

crosshair

mm,seems i am a tad dyslexic tonight

9:54 pm

m9f9l

speaking of management and corporate crap.. reminding folks that I have a book recommendation on my profile. The way management is wriitten in the book is fabulous.

9:54 pm

GreyWoulf

but in many ways, I feel that my experience at the bookstore was a blessing -- It let me change my life in a positive way

9:54 pm

lbdawger

so true, crossy. that's why i'll be pulling overnights for the next 3 nights. gotta get the work done cuz we don't have to time during the day.

9:55 pm

herinfernallady

Grey I know that teachers should get paid the same as lawyers and not the amount a 20 year old burger flipper does

9:55 pm

crosshair

after being corporate fodder on several occasions,i find that it is always best to be the one who signs the cheques;0

9:55 pm

GreyWoulf

for one thing, it helped me learn my supervisory limitations so that I won't let anyone try to give me more than I can handle ever again

9:56 pm

m9f9l

brb

9:57 pm

Riverdance

I was a manager for many years - and company closed on me - found a new job - less money but am responsible for myself - when they offerred me a managment position I turned it down - dont want all that hassle ever again - administration stuff sucks

9:57 pm

GreyWoulf

I think the greatest problem I have observed regarding work and salaries is that the entire attitude towards work needs to be transformed

9:57 pm

Pinikula

<-- is in administration...

9:57 pm

herinfernallady

I am a mutant and don't mind paper work

9:57 pm

lbdawger

a lot of those who get inhouse promotions don't always realize what is involved, they just know it's more pay, and find out the hard way.

9:58 pm

Pinikula

...liking the level I'm in...don't want to go any higher ;)

9:58 pm

GreyWoulf

too many people take their jobs for granted and feel that they are doing their bosses a favor just for showing up each day

9:58 pm

lbdawger

so true, woulfie

9:58 pm

crosshair

lol,i have had them show up drunk,stoned,2 hours late with no call....

9:59 pm

crosshair

they end up getting a lateral move to the unemployment line

9:59 pm

Riverdance

Pini - if that is what you like - great - I dont want all that anymore - had 14 people working for me - some on probation - always my fault not theirs - dont want that anymore

9:59 pm

lbdawger

and that's IF they show up at all! and IF you were smart enough to document it!

10:00 pm

crosshair

they all get 2 written and signed warnings before the end

10:00 pm

Pinikula

fortunately I never have more than 2 people working "for" me; however, I take the position that they work "with" me...

10:00 pm

Pinikula

:)

10:00 pm

lbdawger

well, this tired ol' dawg is heading for the pillows. Great seeing you woulfie! come back more often! night night everyone

10:00 pm

Riverdance

thats great - only 2???

10:00 pm

GreyWoulf

in todays overly litiginous society, paperwork is the bane of the supervisor -- if you don't properly document everything that breaks company policy, you find that you can't always get rid of your problem workers

10:00 pm

crosshair

well the third is bye bye

10:01 pm

Riverdance

I like your policy

10:01 pm

Pinikula

yeah, well, 1 FT, and 2 PT students

10:01 pm

GreyWoulf

And then, there is the additional hassle attached to training the replacement

10:01 pm

Riverdance

good night lbd

10:01 pm

GreyWoulf

niters lbd!

10:01 pm

lbdawger

one of the former workers told me "i'm always 5 minutes late, get used to it.*

10:01 pm

crosshair

better than someone puking up last night whiskey on a costomers shoes

10:02 pm

crosshair

get used to it???!!!

10:02 pm

lbdawger

eeeewwwww on that note *poof*

10:02 pm

herinfernallady

LB i would be more than happy to say I guess you are 5 minutes on time for dismissal

10:02 pm

Riverdance

dont you just love those little hairs that rise up on the back of your neck...

10:03 pm

crosshair

i jkeep a stack of blank R.O.E,s for people just like that

10:03 pm

GreyWoulf

I used to have a prob with being 5-10 minutes late when I was younger -- I had the reasonable excuse of living on long island and having to deal with the traffic on the long island expressway everyday

10:04 pm

GreyWoulf

However, when they pulled me aside to say that they needed me to change my habits or get written up, I changed my patterns... I was still late every now and then, but I got the message

10:04 pm

crosshair

snort..get used to it...my god

10:04 pm

Pinikula

what's an ROE?

10:05 pm

crosshair

record of employment form,must be submitted no later than 7 days after the persons last day worked

10:06 pm

Pinikula

gotcha

10:06 pm

GreyWoulf

I think the only good thing that has come out of the rough economy the past couple of years is the workforce developing a new sense of responsibility towards their jobs

10:06 pm

featherbee

lurk

10:07 pm

herinfernallady

UNLURK on feather

10:07 pm

GreyWoulf

hi feather

10:07 pm

featherbee

just finished watching avatar

10:07 pm

crosshair

here university grads are fighting the high school kids for Mcjobs,it is so tight.many often work 3 mcjobs at once to pay the bills

10:08 pm

GreyWoulf

just borrowed that from my coworker, feather -- what did you think?

10:08 pm

featherbee

loved loved loved the world. was very annoyed at the army plot line, so over the top it seemed fake.

10:09 pm

Riverdance

i loved that movie and agree

10:09 pm

featherbee

just watched something on youtube on how it was made. way cool.

10:10 pm

Riverdance

sad to say but this grid is not very fun

10:10 pm

GreyWoulf

I heard the plot described as "a vehicle to get you to the world" - as it has been done before and better

10:10 pm

featherbee

good to know

10:10 pm

herinfernallady

Feather would your kids watch Avatar?

10:11 pm

Riverdance

many people have argued is a sad imitation to pokahontus

10:11 pm

featherbee

holy cow no. too scary in the battle scenes. i was saying that daniel would love it during the parts showing pandora though.

10:11 pm

featherbee

good description woulf

10:12 pm

Riverdance

my kids loved it (older though) and have watched it 20 plus times

10:12 pm

featherbee

yeah, older is fine! he's just 6.

10:12 pm

herinfernallady

Seriously?

10:12 pm

Riverdance

thats still young - mine are 13 and 17

10:12 pm

featherbee

what?

10:13 pm

herinfernallady

That your 6 year old would watch it?

10:13 pm

GreyWoulf

hints for the el6 and og6, please

10:13 pm

featherbee

NO!

10:13 pm

herinfernallady

Ok good. My b.fs sister let her kids that age watch it. I was the same as you

10:14 pm

featherbee

he'd like the parts showing the world with the cool glowing plants, and the flying bits. otherwise no.

10:14 pm

featherbee

13 and 17 is way different!

10:15 pm

herinfernallady

Feather when i was told that the 6 and 8 year olds watched it i had a fit

10:15 pm

Riverdance

yes it is

10:15 pm

Riverdance

yes it is

10:17 pm

crosshair

how things change when i was 9-13 my dad used to let me have a friend sleep over on saturday nights and we used to stay up till 4 in the morning scaring ourselves silly by watching Vincent prices midnight theatre.they used to run 3 horror flicks back to back.got so bad we would be afraid to go down the dark hallway to go pee lol

10:18 pm

featherbee

lol crossy

10:19 pm

crosshair

it would be like"oh god lady!! do not walk backwards into that room!

10:19 pm

crosshair

and the music would get all creepy and you knew that some dusty,or slimy thing was gonna come out of th dark...

10:20 pm

herinfernallady

Crossie that sounds fun

10:20 pm

crosshair

and she would pose and give a blood curdling screen while showing off legs that went up to about her neck...lol

10:21 pm

crosshair

scream

10:21 pm

featherbee

yeah, see i'm just not cut out for that! i'm the one who watches under the blanket, through the fingers.....from down the hallway.

10:21 pm

featherbee

i used to go in the hallway when the wicked witch came onto the wizard of oz!

10:21 pm

crosshair

lol feathers

10:21 pm

featherbee

i know my limitations. i just don't do those kinds of movies.

10:22 pm

crosshair

the oldies are best,the new ones are just a contest to see who can do the best gross out

10:22 pm

fruittart

*popping in* hi all! Crossy -- I used to watch Vincent Price too! scares were more mental than visually disturbing.

10:22 pm

Riverdance

I LOVED mystery theater - best thrill of the whole week

10:22 pm

GreyWoulf

cross -- those are the type of true horror flicks I remember with fondness and rising neck hairs

10:23 pm

herinfernallady

You know what scared the hell out of me

10:23 pm

Riverdance

new ones are just blood - old ones were mind games....yeah

10:23 pm

crosshair

the music and the ambiance..that was what set you up..

10:23 pm

GreyWoulf

I hate that todays definition of horror has devolved to half naked coeds and buckets of blood

10:23 pm

featherbee

both freak me out.

10:24 pm

herinfernallady

House of Wax the remake really freaked me out

10:25 pm

crosshair

some of the older ones based on poes novels were quite good

10:25 pm

GreyWoulf

I would have to say that the only movie I have seen in the past ten years (not that I have ever been a large movie watcher) was The Ring...

10:25 pm

GreyWoulf

It is the only movie to ever give me chills while watching it in the middle of a sunny day in the middle of summer!

10:26 pm

herinfernallady

Which version Grey?

10:26 pm

crosshair

anyways,i am off for the night.tc everyone and happy babbling...poof!

10:26 pm

herinfernallady

Night Crossie

10:26 pm

GreyWoulf

The american, lady -- given everyones descriptions, I have actually been a bit anxious about tracking down the original japanese

10:27 pm

featherbee

night crossy

10:27 pm

GreyWoulf

niters, Cross

10:27 pm

herinfernallady

THat gives me the freaking creeps yet the Japanese one didn't. I found HOuse of wax to be disturbing

10:29 pm

GreyWoulf

What I liked the best about it, lady, was the idea that what seemed like the right thing to do, wasn't
That something that evil can't be stopped... ever
Just held at bay... that was the best and scariest aspect

10:30 pm

herinfernallady

thinking of going for a walk

10:32 pm

GreyWoulf

I need to make a midnight run to the grocery store -- need milk, bread, and fruit for breakfast

10:32 pm

GreyWoulf

Just want to find the og6 first

10:34 pm

Minveryork

10:34 pm

herinfernallady

10:35 pm

J. C.

10:35 pm

GreyWoulf

10:46 pm

stidmama

*smiles at woulf*

10:46 pm

jillibus

stid, you're in the gr4, and so is a stidkid, which is very annoying because I need an st7 and it doesn't work.

10:46 pm

stidmama

it's what you sit on, on a horse's back. but funny STart to it.

10:47 pm

GreyWoulf

(boy am I glad I didn't turn off the cmp)

I should only be about a half hour getting to the store -- it is just down the road

10:47 pm

jillibus

I just saw that, stid, and giggled! So it's a real word????

10:47 pm

stidmama

okay, be safe driving! *stern mama look* Want you back in ONE piece! LOL

10:48 pm

stidmama

middle english, apparently "the lower part of a stack of hay or the like.
2. a supporting frame for a stack, or a platform on which a stack is placed.
3. any supporting framework or base.
"

10:48 pm

jillibus

attaboy, Woulf -- cul8r

10:49 pm

stidmama

hm. you str***** a s*****... remove the R and get the ST 7.

10:49 pm

stidmama

and I guess horses eat hay...

*considers how to insert the st 7 into a conversation in a casual manner when I have no haystacks nor horses...

10:50 pm

jillibus

I got it, thanks, stid. Last word now -- st5/12, the second.

10:50 pm

stidmama

it's windy here...

10:51 pm

stidmama

like the fabric scots wear? st*** like pl***

10:51 pm

jillibus

not here...yet

10:51 pm

stidmama

I think it sounds like the first st 5/12

10:51 pm

jillibus

ty stid -- SPARKLERS!

10:52 pm

stidmama

YAY jill!!!!!

10:54 pm

stidmama

how are you jill? did you have fun with your visitors yesterday?

10:55 pm

jillibus

We had a blast, stid -- everyone got along like old pals -- so gratifying!

10:56 pm

stidmama

so nice to hear, jill.

10:57 pm

jillibus

Looks as if our Happy Hours (TGIF) will be continuing among the 3 households now.

10:58 pm

jillibus

Not that our Fridays are all that important except for the school-teacher's <wink>

10:59 pm

jillibus

She is a Montessori trained early ed teacher.

10:59 pm

stidmama

I am glad you will have some TGIFs... I might join you at some point, eh? My last teaching day will be Nov 10... will have a lot of writing to do when I am done, but it will be manageable by that point, as I will be doing all the groundwork while I student teach.

10:59 pm

jillibus

Mi casa su casa, stid

11:00 pm

stidmama

I am still alternating between optimism and all-out panic. Not for the actual teaching... I know how to handle kids and can "punt" a lesson if necessary from my toolkit of prior knowledge.

11:00 pm

stidmama

But the paperwork. YEGADS!!!

11:00 pm

jillibus

(see, I do know some Spanish, lol!)

11:00 pm

stidmama

gracias, Jill!!! (me too) *grin*

11:00 pm

jillibus

Oy yoy, paperowrk.

11:01 pm

jillibus

see -- I can't even type

11:01 pm

jillibus

Where did JC go? Said hello and he disappeared!

11:02 pm

stidmama

LOL it's okay jill, I have trouble reading the small font these days. Hold on, I will exit Lickety and go into the regular babble so I can resize the fonts.

11:02 pm

jillibus

resizing fonts is beyond me.

11:02 pm

stidmama

oh, that is MUCH better!

11:03 pm

Hello, all...

11:04 pm

stidmama

hold down control key and hit the "plus/equal" key at the same time and it makes the whole thing bigger...

11:04 pm

stidmama

hey jellen! how are you? survived your playdate okay?

11:05 pm

Jellen

Yes, barely...we went on a walk around a golf course...it nearly killed me, lol...

11:06 pm

Jellen

The four-year-old went to a friend's house...

11:06 pm

stidmama

argh! I was going to order some books from the International Reading Association... but Tom didn't tell me which card he wanted me to use in time and the session timed out. Now I have to remember the books I wanted. *sigh*

11:06 pm

stidmama

oh! so you got to walk just as grown-ups?? what a treat for your friend!

11:07 pm

Jellen

I mighta coulda kept up with a four-year-old, though...

11:08 pm

stidmama

LOL

11:08 pm

jillibus

plus/equal? Well, I don't really need to change font size but will keep that in mind if I do (if I don't forget!)

11:09 pm

Kalyn

the minus key takes it down again.. easy to restore it

11:10 pm

Christine

Hello, all - averrrry late flip tonight.

11:11 pm

Jellen

11:11 pm

stidmama

Hey Kalyn and Christine

11:11 pm

Kalyn

hey Jellen :)

11:11 pm

jillibus

Minus key? Is that the same as the hyphen or in the Numbers section?

11:11 pm

Kalyn

hi Stid :)

11:11 pm

Kalyn

same as the hypen

11:11 pm

Christine

Hello, again. The computer slept-in late, thismorning.

11:12 pm

Kalyn

hyphen (right beside the plus key)

11:15 pm

jillibus

OK, thanks.

11:18 pm

stidmama

*waiting as patiently as possible for Woulf to reappear*

11:20 pm

stidmama

Jill, do you know that one reason I have been able to go back to school, and now into the classroom -- the reason I am "this close" to becoming a teacher -- is that first visit I made to see you and Hetty??? I just wanted you to know that.

11:20 pm

GreyWoulf

I'm baaack!

11:21 pm

herinfernallady

pounce on Woulf

11:21 pm

stidmama

WOULFIE!!!! *hugs and hugs and choclits*

11:21 pm

jillibus

Goodness, stid! I'm amazed!

11:21 pm

GreyWoulf

and so is lady! :-)

11:21 pm

stidmama

how are you? I miss you so much! Do you know I see your mother here more often than you?

11:21 pm

GreyWoulf

{*stidmama*}

11:21 pm

stidmama

I miss hearing about the kid updates, and seeing you.

11:22 pm

Christine

Thank goodness ... Stidmama wore a path in the carpet.

11:22 pm

stidmama

LOL Christine! it's only a little path...

11:22 pm

GreyWoulf

let's see -- I am fine, just very tired from working way too hard
The family are all fine
And yes, I know -- when last we emailed, she said pretty much the same thing

11:22 pm

Christine

You're happy noe ??

11:23 pm

Jellen

Hi, Woulf

11:23 pm

Christine

or now, even ??

11:23 pm

stidmama

(((woulf))) sorry about the working too hard. I hope the kids are wonderful as always?

11:23 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi, Jellen

11:23 pm

stidmama

I am happy now, and noe also if that makes YOU happy!

11:24 pm

GreyWoulf

Kids are doing great -- Kristianna is way way excited about starting 2nd grade on Tuesday and Seb is just as excited to go to preschool starting the following week

11:24 pm

stidmama

preschool already?? wow... *suddenly feels WAY older*

11:25 pm

herinfernallady

I have a friend that keeps sending me spam emails. I sent him a message via fb that he may have been compromised and he ignores me then sent me another spam email. i know that he has read and seen the message. So he has been sent a rather snotty 2nd message. Next time I am getting from you tube the ''leave Britany alone' messageand forwarding that to him

11:25 pm

stidmama

I hope K will enjoy the 2nd grade. They are big enough to write and function on their own, and feel so competent that they can handle some extra challenges. It's a good year in school for most kids.

11:25 pm

GreyWoulf

Kirsten says hi as well -- she is sitting here waiting for her brownies to finish baking so she can end her birthday with a choclit brownie with vanilla ice cream on top

11:26 pm

stidmama

*waves happily at Kirsten* HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! you don't look a day older to me! :-D

11:27 pm

GreyWoulf

I just hope 2nd grade is ready for her, stid -- last year she was accepted into the gifted students program here -- only one of two 1st graders to be recommended

11:27 pm

herinfernallady

awww too cute Grey

11:27 pm

stidmama

of course she was, woulf! LOL she'll want challenges, but remember she is still "little" and be patient when your wise young sage acts her real age...

11:28 pm

GreyWoulf

I figure her biggest challenge with 2nd grade will be the same as last time -- getting her to slow down while doing her homework so that her handwriting is properly legible

11:29 pm

herinfernallady

Grey she may be a doctor in training if her hand writting is bad

11:29 pm

stidmama

that can be a real challenge when the brain works so much faster than the still-developing fine-motor skills.

11:29 pm

GreyWoulf

lady -- she has expressed the desire to be the first nurse on Mars

11:29 pm

herinfernallady

awww

11:29 pm

stidmama

if anyone can do it, woulf, she can!

11:30 pm

GreyWoulf

so long as we still have a proper space program by the time she has the proper training, I am sure she can too! :-)

11:31 pm

stidmama

I hope we will, woulf. I think there will be something, at least.

11:33 pm

GreyWoulf

well with NASA on the chopping block -- there will be a perfect opportunity for private enterprise to step in and fill the void -- I am just a bit concerned about how that will impact safety for the public

11:34 pm

GreyWoulf

to paraphrase an old Bob Newhart routine -- I have visions of the 'Grace L Ferguson Spaceline and Storm Door Company'

11:34 pm

stidmama

public safety seems incompatible with business these days (mine disasters, gulf oil, product recalls...)

11:34 pm

stidmama

rofl woulf!

11:35 pm

herinfernallady

Do 6 please

11:35 pm

stidmama

take the 4/5 before it and double all the vowels

11:35 pm

GreyWoulf

to be the recipient of the preceding do4 with two sets of double vowels

11:36 pm

herinfernallady

then what is the 5 under it please

11:36 pm

GreyWoulf

past tense

11:36 pm

Jellen

d + public disturbance, anagrammed

11:37 pm

GreyWoulf

or did you mean the dr5, which is want Jellen just said :-D

11:37 pm

Jellen

Oh, that's dr5...

11:37 pm

herinfernallady

Thankds

11:37 pm

herinfernallady

stupid thing didn't take the mister ed ending before

11:37 pm

Jellen

I'm going to slip off and read a bit...

11:38 pm

stidmama

11:38 pm

11:40 pm

redshoes

how's ever-one doin'?

11:40 pm

stidmama

we can't really afford it, but my eyes are getting worse and my netbook from last summer needs me to scroll when I upsize most things. And I have a LOT of reading to do.

11:40 pm

stidmama

so it's a sort of investment. I'll use it after I graduate, for sure.

11:41 pm

redshoes

I heart my mac

11:41 pm

herinfernallady

I love my laptop ehen it behaves

11:41 pm

stidmama

LOL red!

11:41 pm

stidmama

LOL red!

11:43 pm

stidmama

love my netbook, and will continue to use it when I am actually in the schools (it's cheaper so if dropped, lost or stolen not so big a loss); but for the intensive paper writing and online reading I do, need a bigger screen. going to get a 15" one.

11:43 pm

11:53 pm

stidmama

oh! and I put my hair UP in a bun this past week -- will keep doing that when at school because it keeps the hair out of my eyes and makes me look a little more forbidding (I think).

11:53 pm

Minveryork

Yes,I commented on that earlier tonight. Pini said it was mentioned at the flip which I was not here then.

11:54 pm

stidmama

I will see if I can do that tomorrow and have Tom take a picture of me for you-all. I leave so early in the morning that he isn't even thinking about being awake...

11:54 pm

Bugsaw

why would you want to be forbidding? the kid will love you. (altho I coloured my hair this week)

11:55 pm

Bugsaw

I must say I am suprised to see you still up now, stid. Don't forget to rest.

11:55 pm

stidmama

*thinking of bugs with green hair* because I want them to be clear that I am in charge, not a friendly auntie or grandmother.

11:55 pm

Minveryork

I am done! I have fireworks! st7/36 was my last word

11:55 pm

stidmama
