and that got me singing again.
... every morning you greeeet meeeeee....

2:39 am

westford

I love when we sing

2:39 am

sprite

:D

2:40 am

westford

now I want to watch the Sound of Music

2:41 am

sprite

was thinking the same thing. Want to see that scene near the end when they get the whole public singing that song... like a huge protestation against the nazi's and nothing anyone can do about it.

2:42 am

westford

that was so inspiring

2:43 am

sprite

makes me hopeful, now with the Geert Wilders asshole in the government.

2:43 am

westford

is that his name or his party?

2:44 am

sprite

his name. Party is PVV. Translated it means Party for the Freedom.
"we come in peace and shoot to kill, shoot to kill, shoot to kill..."

2:45 am

westford

doesn't sound very peaceful

2:46 am

sprite

no it is one of those names that serve as a front, while behind it the opposite is going on. I think he is a very dangerous man.

2:46 am

westford

how on earth did he get voted in?

2:47 am

westford

or did he just squeak by?

2:47 am

sprite

he is frighteningly smart, west. He knows how to speak to some groups, work on their feelings and worries.

2:48 am

westford

well hopefully the people will be smarter and vote him right out

2:49 am

sprite

nope, they got quite a few votes. Not enough to rule, but too many to be left out. The bigger parties needed him to make a majority. First they were adamant about not being willing to work with him. Now they say they will 'condone' him.

2:49 am

sprite

can you tell it scares me?

2:52 am

westford

I just googled him what a trouble maker

2:52 am

Christine

The name Bush mean anything to you -- he'll probably get a second term and do as much damage to your country as W did to ours.

2:52 am

sprite

he is. A big one.

2:52 am

sprite

Christine, indeed.

2:53 am

sprite

oh, funny icon!

2:53 am

westford

I really don't like it when young people say they aren't going to vote they don't realize how much each vote counts

2:54 am

sprite

so very true. Better go and vote for a minor party if you cannot decide.

2:55 am

westford

I think it was Sandyloo who said they fine you in Australia if you don't vote

2:55 am

PAV3

just got the 8

2:55 am

Christine

I remember years ago, a woman said we generally vote against someone, not for the other candidate

2:55 am

sprite

as for Geert Wilders:
so now he is a le7/36 while I just wish he were a de7 (not valid, the de7)

2:55 am

sprite

I guess there is a lot of truth in that

2:56 am

PAV3

yes, I completed my early ballot this morning... had to look some candidates up for more info on them..

2:56 am

sprite

that is not such a bad id4, west

2:56 am

Remember Steve and Edie? She was the one who said it. She also said (of Nixon) "in your heart, you know he's an ass"

2:57 am

westford

we could sing for him

2:57 am

Christine

Gorme with an acute accent over the e - lovely people.

Thank you for that clue, three more words.

3:10 am

3:10 am

rubyfoo

3:10 am

sprite

go Christine gooooo!

3:11 am

rubyfoo

if I sang to you, the system would shut down in horror!

3:11 am

Christine

stupid was the first word I saw - except there's no st.

3:11 am

westford

Grin, this is a great place to be

3:13 am

rubyfoo

I am trying to take care of my husband, whose pain is getting worse and worse....and his doctor "forgot" to call back after I left him 5 messages and sent him a fax!

3:14 am

westford

oh no ruby

3:14 am

westford

is it his back?

3:14 am

sprite

sorry to hear that, rubyfoo. Pain can be so very tough to handle when one isn't used to it.

3:14 am

Christine

Sorry to hear that - I was about to ask how he is doing.

3:15 am

rubyfoo

when the dog took him down, he hurt his back, but because of the severeity of the bites, he didn't notice his back pain for a month. He's had an x-ray, but can't handle the pain

3:15 am

westford

if it's anything like here it's the staff that didn't give him his messages

3:15 am

rubyfoo

no, it's very small here and I spoke with his wife. The problem is that there are only 3 doctors for two villages

3:16 am

westford

what did the x-ray show?

3:16 am

rubyfoo

finally, yesterday I went to the pharmacy and put on a real performance (tears and all) to get him some pain meds without a prescription. I should get an Academy Aware!

3:16 am

sprite

fireflies. Sorry to leave you but have to take care of bills. Bye all, have fun.
Rubyfoo, tell your husband I am wishing him well and a speedy recovery. Tell him to breathe into the pain. Prevents tensing up more, which would bring more pain.

3:17 am

rubyfoo

a nerve is pinched in his lumbar spine. He is just not used to pain and is a real baby. If he had to live with what many of us have all the time, he couldn't!

3:17 am

westford

yay sprite !! and good advice

3:17 am

rubyfoo

He won't even let me massage him

3:17 am

rubyfoo

yay sprite, but he won't listen

3:17 am

westford

a pinched nerve is no laughing matter

3:18 am

westford

is he taking the meds?

3:18 am

sprite

don't massage with a pinched lumbar.

3:18 am

Haz1558

ruby - don't underestimate back pain. I have a high pain threshold but a slipped disc nearly made me faint. He will be in agony, he's not a baby.

3:18 am

rubyfoo

actually, I tried to do his shoulders and upper back, just to relax him because he gets so tense and crazy

3:19 am

rubyfoo

he continues to lift heavy things, against all advice

3:19 am

sprite

I had a hernia when I was living alone. If anybody would have suggested a shoulder massage I would have told them to go whatsit themselves.

3:20 am

rubyfoo

hahah sprite

3:20 am

I am very aware of back problems, having a severe congenital scoliosis. But, when you have to, you learn to live with it.

3:20 am

westford

hi herin back home?

3:20 am

PAV3

westford

3:32 am

rubyfoo

ruby is a private pooper; she is "pudique" as the French say, always goes in the bushes and then even looks away

3:33 am

PAV3

Joey goes in a corner...or in the centre of the parking lot...

3:34 am

westford

when nature calls..

3:34 am

herinfernallady

As Pandora was neglected when she got proper food she kind of got a belly hanging down. I don't know if you know Interview with a Vampire movie or not but Lucius is called Louis when he whinges as Louis was ''always with the whining

3:35 am

PAV3

but he'll spend days (seems like) finding the most imperfect place...

3:40 am

herinfernallady

If you saw it you would think it was funnier. He was a great dog.

3:40 am

westford

KUSC is an all-classical station in Los Angeles, and they played some of her recordings last night. The volume was low, so I didn't hear if it was a tribute program.

4:12 am

Haz1558

I'm sure it would have been, Christine.

4:13 am

Haz1558

She died in her home in Switzerland.

4:14 am

lynxxx

Hi, back. Our news mentioned that, as a schoolgirl she failed 'choir' as she was considered too loud

4:14 am

Haz1558

Oh goodness, lynxxx, if only they had known!

4:17 am

Haz1558

Any news on the employment front, lynxxx?

4:20 am

lynxxx

not yet, interview was good...and they had a sofa for sale which I really like! We had gone shopping for one on the weekend coincidently

4:20 am

Haz1558

Staff discount?

4:21 am

lynxxx

lol. Even I am not that cheeky. (yet)

4:21 am

zoozzoom

Dame Joan Sutherland Had a beautiful â™ª â™« â™ª â™« â™ª â™« singing voice â™ª â™« â™ª â™« â™ª â™«

4:21 am

Haz1558

Still, it would be a nice perk, wouldn't it?

4:22 am

lynxxx

what a clever Zooz

4:22 am

lynxxx

very nice perk indeed - keep your fingers crossed for me

4:22 am

Haz1558

Hello, zooz. I have her singing in the background (youtube) with Pavarotti. Gorgeous. And lovely notes from you as well!

4:22 am

zoozzoom

fingers crossed for you Lynxxx

4:23 am

Haz1558

They'd be a fool to take anyone else, lynxxx. Tell them the babblers will get them otherwise.

4:23 am

zoozzoom

Hi, Haz, yes i watched a couple from youtube, good source of music videos from there.

4:24 am

Haz1558

It's amazing - so much variety.

4:25 am

lynxxx

It means my husband won't get part old age pension though. $350 a fortnight possibly lost! but he will still get a pensioners card which means quite a few savings. Goody!

4:26 am

Haz1558

Has he been retired for quite a while, lynxxx?

4:27 am

lynxxx

No - he has just hit 65 but is still working part-time. Me working part-time will mean there is no pension $s

4:29 am

Haz1558

Okay. The way things are going over here, some people will have to work until they drop, meanwhile others will never work a day in their lives. The system's just a little mad.

4:29 am

lynxxx

I can see now why my father was constantly juggling his finances when he retired - to make sure he got the old age pension. It is quite funny

4:31 am

lynxxx

It is not bad here - as long as you own your home and you don't want any extras/luxuries. Most people have some level of personal Superannuation nowadays to supplement any pension.

4:32 am

bichon

Superannuation?

4:32 am

bichon

Hi everyone

4:32 am

Haz1558

I'll leave lymxxx to explain superannuation! Hello, bichon.

4:34 am

lynxxx

Retirement funds....Employers have been obliged to pay a % of annual wage to Superannuation fund/s over your employment lifetime. Accessible only at official retirement age. Started at 5% now 10% I believe. Most took a dive with the GFC though

4:34 am

lynxxx

hi Bichon

4:34 am

bichon

Okay, a pension as it's called here.

4:35 am

lynxxx

Government initiative late 80s when they realised all the baby-boomers would hit retirement age and drain Government coffers

4:36 am

bichon

Not a pension, but Social Security. This also included Medicare, health insurance.

4:36 am

lynxxx

A pension here is not your 'own' money but Government benefit based on your assets or income - about $20,000 pa for a couple over 65

4:37 am

Haz1558

I'm desperately hoping that zooz will be able to explain the British system.

4:37 am

lynxxx

The Superannuation is your 'own' money to do with what you will after you reach retirment age

4:37 am

bichon

I guess that's different from hee. Social Security isn't based on anything after you fulfill a basic pay in

4:37 am

Christine

Iwas able to retire at 65, but the age requirement is pushed up, noe. My daughter will need to work until 67, and her husband who is a couple years younger will work yuntil he's 69.

4:37 am

zoozzoom

thats easy, `C.R.A.P`

4:38 am

Haz1558

So eloquent, zooz!

4:38 am

zoozzoom

lol

4:38 am

Christine

We have IRAs which are ubdividual retirement accounts, tax free until you start to withdraw the funds, when you expect your tax bracket to be lower.

4:38 am

lynxxx

They started that here too Christine...I reckon they are hoping people will die on the job before they need a pension!

4:38 am

bichon

I started taking Social Security at 62, when I retired. But, I have it in an interest bearing account and will repay it when I'm 70. Then I can collect at ta higher rate and keep the interest. Sounds confusing

4:38 am

Christine

oops *individual

4:39 am

zoozzoom

i think thats the idea Lynxxx, cost effective i think they prefer to call it.

4:40 am

Christine

thank God, I have my social securiy payment, and a pension payment from an emplyer, plus social security from UK

4:40 am

Haz1558

You hear that, zooz? We're sweating to keep Christine in luxury!

4:40 am

bichon

I have a husband who still works and I won't let him retire

4:41 am

zoozzoom

yes, i was trying to work out how that works?

4:41 am

lynxxx

Really, I don't think there are many jobs that a 67 year old can do as effectively as a , say, 37 year old. (Yes I know there are exceptions but as a general rule) And really who is going to employ a 67 year old if they need a new one

4:41 am

Haz1558

Long hours down the mines for you and me so that Christine can babble. Life isn't fair.

4:42 am

Christine

I worked while you were all snoozing in your prams.

4:42 am

zoozzoom

LOL

4:42 am

Haz1558

I was up sweeping chimneys before I could walk.

4:42 am

Haz1558

Now I know why.

4:42 am

lynxxx

I wish Christine

4:43 am

Christine

Well, Haz, as has been pointed out, someone needs to keep me in the lap of luxury.

4:44 am

Haz1558

(She's shameless, zooz. No conscience)

4:44 am

Christine

Apparently I could've received the UK soc.sec. payments at 60, but the notices went to my Mum & Dad;s address, and they'd moved.

4:45 am

zoozzoom

i reckon, she is laughing at us, Haz while eating her luxury items..lol

4:45 am

zoozzoom

talking of luxury,off to make a cup of tea.

4:45 am

lynxxx

How does that work Christine...you have been out of the UK for over 40 years haven't you?

4:45 am

Haz1558

I know. Us on beans on toast with the occasional beef dripping and she's on caviar and smoked salmon.

4:46 am

lynxxx

OOh I wonder if we could back claim UK soc Sec payments for my Dad (dec'd) he was born in UK

4:47 am

zoozzoom

Hang on, there will be none left for me, when i retire in 26 years time...lol

4:48 am

lynxxx

I imagine there will be nothing left anyway - the government is crying poor already isn't it?

4:48 am

Haz1558

You should enquire, lynxxx. Meanwhile, I'll just add another shift at the mines.

4:48 am

Christine

I worked in UK, and they just kept putting interest inyo the fund for me. It's not a lot, but it's good to get. I know of a number of expats who don't get the money, for whatever reason. But I worked for it, so I'm not going to refuse it.

4:48 am

zoozzoom

LOL

4:49 am

lynxxx

damn...well Dad left when he was about 18 months old - guess he didn't work

4:49 am

zoozzoom

Don`t blame you Christine, get what you can, you worked for it afterall.

4:50 am

Haz1558

They'll probably say that he's due for a refund for donkey's years. Just when we thought we were getting on top of the deficit.

4:50 am

lynxxx

Woops - PB for me

4:50 am

Christine

I didn't realise I could get the money, after such a long time away, but another Englishwoman told me to apply. The irony is that she applied, they okayed payments, then rescinded.

4:51 am

Christine

Time for a cuppa -- anyone else want one?

4:51 am

lynxxx

yes pls - just white for me

4:52 am

zoozzoom

ust got mine thanks christine, plus 4 teacakes :-)

4:52 am

lynxxx

4 ! that's a bit greedy...you don't think you should share them Zooz?

4:52 am

Haz1558

Not Tunnock's teacakes?

4:53 am

Haz1558

He's obviously building up his strength for a long day down the pits.

4:53 am

lynxxx

I think he has shoved them all into his mouth so he doesn't have to share and now he can't talk

4:54 am

zoozzoom

sorry, had my mouth full..lol...no just normal teacakes, and cold with butter

4:54 am

Haz1558

I hope he hasn't put himself in danger of choking. 4 teacakes all at once can't be wise.

4:54 am

lynxxx

...and I bet he made them himself so they would be really yummy

4:54 am

zoozzoom

i still have three here Lynxx, if you would like one?

4:55 am

Haz1558

Well, at least you can still have butter and you're not reduced to scrapings of marge. I wouldn't like Christine to have that on her conscience.

4:55 am

lynxxx

Yes please, especially if you made them

4:55 am

zoozzoom

lol

4:56 am

zoozzoom

*sending (one only) over now*

4:57 am

lynxxx

BBS better go and make myself a tea to go with the cake. Christine is taking to long bringing one to me

4:58 am

zoozzoom

if i try `update` once more i will scream.

4:59 am

Haz1558

It's all the pent-up emotion having to work so hard down the mines in order to keep ex-pats in luxury.

5:00 am

Haz1558

Try deep breathing and NOT typing update.

5:02 am

zoozzoom

I know, and there is no `T` in the grid , i must be in shock of knowing there will be no money in the pot when i retire..lol

5:02 am

Haz1558

Can I give a cryptic clue for di7/40? Begin with the girl's best friend, end with a singularly bad day for Julius Caesar.

5:02 am

bichon

I was reading tha Briain was going to do away with the children's allowance for wealthier families

5:03 am

bichon

*Britain

5:03 am

Sally-catlover

Morning everyone. Thanks for the di7 Haz!

5:03 am

zoozzoom

That is correct Bichon, but there are ways round it, so i have heard.

5:03 am

Haz1558

They're going to do away with Child Benefit for people earning over a certain amount each year. I've always felt that it was a nonsense that the Government gave everyone money for having a child.

5:03 am

zoozzoom

Nice clue, thanks for that one , Haz

5:04 am

bichon

That's something you'd never see here. I guess it was a good deal while it lasted

5:04 am

Haz1558

You're welcome - hello, Sally.

5:05 am

zoozzoom

if you earn over Â£40,000 a year then you will not receive it, but if you and your partner earn say Â£22,000 each, then you can still claim

5:05 am

Haz1558

The idea was to give money directly to the mother for the benefit of the child. It started off as being a nominal sum but it escalated. It seemed crazy that very rich people should receive it when they didn't really need it.

5:06 am

bichon

They have [had] that in Germany too "Kindergelt"

5:07 am

zoozzoom

I do agree, Haz, but some people will say "i have paid my taxes i am entitled to it"

5:08 am

zoozzoom

even if they do not need it.

5:09 am

Haz1558

I can see all the arguments for and against, but common sense to me is that if the government is going to have to cut down on expenditure, here is a prime candidate for reform.

5:09 am

zoozzoom

Common sense is the key thing , Haz, but it never seems to happen.

5:10 am

Haz1558

I did receive child benefit for my two girls and it always seemed a bit odd - their father worked to keep them, why should the government have to chip in?

5:10 am

bichon

And perhaps parents didn't actually spend the money to benefit their children

5:10 am

Haz1558

I, of course, was working long hours down the mine as well....

5:11 am

Christine

Let's be fair, times are hard for everyone, and if the child allowance means you can keep the little place in the country, the flat in Mayfair, the farm in Tuscany, and the yacht -- well what would YOU do ?

5:11 am

zoozzoom

you are soo right on that one, Bichon, well on a few i know down my street.

5:11 am

zoozzoom

LOL, Haz

5:11 am

Haz1558

That's the thing, bichon, there's no control over how the money is spent. Some people just put it into a savings account for the children, others probably spent it.

5:11 am

zoozzoom

LOL, Christine.

5:13 am

Haz1558

Most other benefits here are means tested to a certain extent - universal child benefit was the exception.

5:15 am

zoozzoom

I Had worked for over 30 years non stop, then when i got my depression this year i had to stop work & the truoble i had trying to get a little bit of assistance, was a nightmare.

5:17 am

Haz1558

That's awful, especially when you're not feeling up to a struggle.

5:17 am

zoozzoom

they stopped my benefits after a while, so now i am living on my savings that i managed to save whilst at work..lol

5:17 am

Haz1558

The same goes for trying to claim things like Attendance Allowance. It's trying to work out what they want or need to hear in order to get the right boxes ticked.

5:17 am

bichon

Yes, Social Security Disability is very difficult to get here, especially if it's due to depression

5:18 am

Haz1558

Did you try Citizen's Advice, zooz?

5:18 am

Haz1558

Phone.

5:19 am

lynxxx

Attendance allowance?

5:20 am

zoozzoom

Yes, they said once the government doc says you are ok to work, not much more you can do, my doc told them to do a re-exam, but only scored 9/15 points..so no joy, went to claim, JSA, but then got DVT, so have to go through the whole process again..lol

5:21 am

bichon

To change the subject, I've been watching Law & Order UK. Do the attorneys and judges feel strange wearing those wigs?

5:22 am

Haz1558

bichon,my cousin is a barrister and he says you just get used to it.

5:22 am

zoozzoom

Attendance Allowance, is for people who need some-one to help them whilst they are not able to look after themseves, Lynxxx.

5:22 am

zoozzoom

Not sure , Bichon, must be itchy in the summer..lol

5:23 am

lynxxx

They wear them here too Bichon. I think they look rather distinguished

5:24 am

Haz1558

Attendance allowance is claimed by the person who needs help. The problem is that they have to specify why exactly they need help and this takes the form of a long questionnaire. When we were filling it in for my father-in-law (now deceased) three of us took two hours to decipher it - how is an elderly, confused person supposed to cope?

5:24 am

ursh

hello all - please clue the di6/27 driving me crazy

5:24 am

lynxxx

especially racing through the city streets with the black robes billowing out behind

5:24 am

ursh

the first di6/27

5:24 am

Haz1558

The funniest bit was when they asked 'What medication do you take?' and then in big letters 'DO NOT SEND EXAMPLES OF YOUR MEDICATION'.

5:25 am

zoozzoom

I had similar papers , Haz, the papers must of reached about 2 inches thick..lol

5:25 am

lynxxx

hi Ursh

5:25 am

ursh

nm found it

5:25 am

Haz1558

DI6 - to rhyme with a slang word for a violin.

5:26 am

ursh

tx anyway haz - did not see to use the double d

5:26 am

Haz1558

No problem ursh.

5:27 am

bichon

The e in the fourth column?

I have no `E`s sorry , Bichon

5:35 am

MollyL

Morning all. Haz, thanks for the clues.

5:35 am

lynxxx

hi Molly

5:36 am

Haz1558

Hello, Molly, glad if they've helped.

5:36 am

zoozzoom

Hello, molly

5:36 am

zoozzoom

Sorry was listening to heintje, got a bit carried away.

5:38 am

Haz1558

Rusty German - mother, don't cry over your children. Or perhaps it is don't cry over your sausage. As I said, my German is rusty.

5:38 am

lynxxx

Molly - are both boxes ticked in "My Account" on the right hand side - if they are then you would get a US flag

5:39 am

zoozzoom

You were about right the first time , Haz. :-)

5:39 am

Haz1558

My tertiary education wasn't a complete waste, in that case.

5:40 am

lynxxx

You did languages Haz?

5:40 am

zoozzoom

you are a source of good information, Haz, and i am not taking the michael either.

5:41 am

Haz1558

I did. I did Spanish for two years, German for 7 years including two at university and French for 10 including three years at university.

5:41 am

bichon

I remember when children studied German at school. At least here in the US. No longer, most people study Spanish

5:41 am

Haz1558

French is my first love, though.

5:42 am

zoozzoom

I so want to learn Latin

5:42 am

Haz1558

German isn't the easiest of languages. I've not had the chance (or desire) to practise it much but French has stayed with me longer.

5:43 am

zoozzoom

yay, found the 8

5:43 am

Sally-catlover

I've taken up Latin again, zooz. Did it at school, but have now been doing it for about 5 years. Great fun.

5:43 am

bichon

German is a very difficult language, as attests my German born, US raised husband

5:43 am

Haz1558

Go for it, zooz. I did it for 5 years as well and ended up enjoying it. You just have to be prepared to do a lot of learning, but it is an exercise in logic.

5:43 am

bichon

zooz, care to share the 8>

5:44 am

zoozzoom

it is an `re` word Bichon

5:44 am

bichon

could you share a bit more zooz?

5:44 am

Haz1558

I have a friend here who's doing a night class in Latin at the university in Belfast.

5:44 am

zoozzoom

i will study it, that i know, once i am in a normal state..lol

5:45 am

zoozzoom

bits of metal you hammer into word , Bichon

5:45 am

Sally-catlover

You might find it helpful anyway zooz. Takes your mind completely away from everything else.

5:45 am

zoozzoom

wood*

5:45 am

Haz1558

I can still rhyme off the verbs etc because we had to learn them by rote.

5:45 am

lynxxx

hi Sally

5:45 am

zoozzoom

yes, good point, Sally

5:46 am

bichon

TY for the 8 zooz

5:46 am

zoozzoom

yw :-)

5:46 am

Sally-catlover

I do mine with a U3A group so doesn't cost, but there might be an evening class, and if you are not earning you might get help with that financially.

5:48 am

Haz1558

Is it mostly translating from Latin into English, Sally, or do you do the English into Latin as well?

5:48 am

Sally-catlover

Both Haz, but mostly Latin into English. We are only doing it for fun, not for exams or anything.

5:49 am

Sally-catlover

Did you know you can get the news in Latin?

5:50 am

Haz1558

And is it trying to use Latin in contemporary fashion? My friend's teacher is Italian and is teaching them to pronounce the words Italian style, also trying to get them to give directions down the street rather than instructions about how to fight battles.

5:50 am

zoozzoom

Sorry, was on phone, that sounds ideal , Sally, just for fun to begin with, just incase i find it too hard..lol

5:52 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, we have been doing a series of stories. Also have recently been doing fairy stories, which one of us reads out, so that is a different technique, you have to get your ear in for that rather than just reading.

5:53 am

Sally-catlover

So there are stories about love and marriage, about court cases, about Pompei, etc.

5:53 am

Sally-catlover

We do the grammar as well :-)

5:53 am

Sally-catlover

Not sure about pronouncing Italian style. That would not be correct Latin really.

5:53 am

zoozzoom

there is a U3A group on the isle of wight too.

5:54 am

Sally-catlover

Are you old enough zooz? You might find it fun.

5:54 am

Haz1558

Oh, that sounds interesting! Latin at school was very much an academic exercise, and we never really got the sense of a language being spoken. The pronounciation thing surprised me, but maybe she's just taking a bit of poetic licence. Unless they've dug up some old recordings....

5:54 am

lynxxx

LOL at QI...what a funny show

5:55 am

Haz1558

It's very funny, lynxxx. They can go off on the most marvellous tangents.

5:55 am

zoozzoom

QI, is wonderful,, Lynxxx, i always try and watch it.

5:55 am

zoozzoom

Not sure , Sally, looking at the website now.

5:55 am

Sally-catlover

lol Haz. Well there is evidence of how it sounded, when you look at the poetry. But the Italian rules for pronouncing the letter C, for instance, would not be the same as Latin. Did you see my message about the news?

5:55 am

Haz1558

And 'Have I got news for you' is coming on again soon.

5:56 am

Haz1558

Yes, where can you get the news in Latin? Online?

5:57 am

Sally-catlover

Sorry, was looking up the link: <http://www.yle.fi/radio1/tiede/nuntii
_latini/> You can read it or listen to it. Very strange, Latin with a Finnish accent!

5:57 am

lynxxx

I don't believe we have had that one here

5:58 am

Sally-catlover

You could lie, zooz.

5:58 am

lynxxx

why would they do the news in Latin?

5:58 am

zoozzoom

they do not do latin here, Sally, oh well.

5:58 am

Haz1558

lynxxx, it's a quiz based on the news of the past week. It might not translate too well into other countries, as it does highlight British news.

5:58 am

Sally-catlover

The Latin news is great fun.

5:59 am

Sally-catlover

lynxxx, it's to keep interest in the language alive. It is the root of so many other languages and so many people just don't have a clue about the construction of a language.

5:59 am

zoozzoom

Haz, Paul Mertons face always cracks me up when other people are talking..lol

6:00 am

Haz1558

I know, and again he can go off on the most wonderful flights of fancy.

6:00 am

zoozzoom

oh sorry, cross talking here, i thought we were on `have i got news for you` lol

6:01 am

zoozzoom

phone again

6:02 am

Haz1558

I'm looking at it now. So funny to see an article about Nokia.

6:03 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, I love it Haz. I sometimes print out bits and take them in. Also funny when they talk about sport.

6:04 am

Haz1558

Do you think they just make up words if they didn't exist before? (Chemicorum, biologicorum,nuclearumque)

6:05 am

Sally-catlover

Well they do follow rules. I assume nuclearum didn't exist!

6:05 am

lynxxx

that last one has to be alcoholic

6:06 am

Sally-catlover

alcoholic?

6:06 am

lynxxx

nucleaRUMque

6:06 am

Haz1558

I think you're right, Sally, but it is funny.

6:07 am

Sally-catlover

ooooh! lynxx!

6:07 am

Haz1558

Those Aussies can sniff out a drink anywhere.

6:08 am

Sally-catlover

It's actually very good practice Haz, and I assume good Latin. I also have Winnie the Pooh in Latin, and that is very hard Latin we all find.

6:08 am

lynxxx

I do miss BabRab - he must have studied latin I am sure

6:08 am

Sally-catlover

Do we know where he is? I got hints that he wasn't well.

6:08 am

Haz1558

I haven't checked recently to see if he's still playing. He's maybe just not in the mood to chat.

6:09 am

zoozzoom

he is still playing.

6:09 am

Haz1558

Just checked. He's playing every day. A quick hello if he's around.

Good to know that zooz. One doesn't like to pry.

6:10 am

Haz1558

He did chat briefly maybe a few weeks ago but said that he hadn't been great.

6:11 am

Sally-catlover

Salve, BR!

6:11 am

Haz1558

(That means hello, not apply some ointment)

6:12 am

zoozzoom

lol

6:12 am

Sally-catlover

Just wondering how I would cope with a Latin version of Babble.

6:12 am

lynxxx

I thought Sally might have a special potion she has conjured up

6:12 am

Sally-catlover

Would be fun to try to invent one.

6:12 am

Haz1558

It would cut chat down to a marked degree, Sally.

6:12 am

zoozzoom

oh gosh, don`t go there , Sally, i would never finish a grid..lol

6:12 am

Sally-catlover

Potion, lynxxx? That sounds like Asterix!!

6:13 am

Sally-catlover

You can get Asterix in Latin, too.

6:14 am

lynxxx

If updo is allowed, wonder why updid isn't

6:14 am

Uneaixoise

i tried that one too LOL

6:15 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Une :-)

6:15 am

lynxxx

hi Une

6:15 am

Haz1558

Hello, Une, nice to see you!

6:15 am

Uneaixoise

hey, all :-)

6:15 am

Sally-catlover

Hi, une.

6:15 am

Uneaixoise

ditto, haz!

6:16 am

Uneaixoise

was just reading online that the pastor who was in the news re a public burning of the Koran is coming here for a rally at our convention center -- aaaccckkk!

6:16 am

Haz1558

Tell him Nashville is still under water.

6:16 am

Uneaixoise

topics will include Islam, abortion, and homosexuality -- good lord . . .

6:17 am

Uneaixoise

haz LOL!

6:17 am

Trifioso

get some pamphlets from his church and burn them on the convention center steps - see how HE likes it.

6:17 am

Trifioso

and good morning friends

6:17 am

Uneaixoise

howdy, trif :-)

6:17 am

zoozzoom

Hello, trif

6:17 am

Haz1558

Hello, Trif.

6:17 am

lynxxx

good id** Trif. Goodmorning

6:18 am

Sally-catlover

Remind him, Let he who is without sin ...

6:18 am

Uneaixoise

article in local paper: http://tinyurl.com/2ewku52

6:19 am

Trifioso

I think the best response ever to people like that pastor is resounding silence. let his lecture hall be filled with nary a soul who turned up to listen

6:19 am

Uneaixoise

trif, i thought the same thing -- how wonderful it would be if he walked into an empty auditorium

6:20 am

lynxxx

mmm 10 people turned up to the rally in Tampa - seems like 10 too many

6:20 am

Trifioso

i think that about kkk rallies, abortion protests, anti-gay protests, etc. Picture them being greeted by empty streets, not a news camera in sight, because people just didnt care to show up and give them the satisfaction of an audience

6:22 am

Haz1558

You could always just play country music at him.

6:22 am

zoozzoom

Thats half the promblem now, you can bet there will be more cameras & news crews than people who are deluded in listening to it.

6:23 am

Haz1558

Send him home weeping at all the dead dogs and the crops dying in the fields and the women who didn't stand by their man.

6:23 am

Trifioso

you are exactly right, zooz! and the pastor thinks they are all there to see him "in support" and quotes that figure to others.

6:23 am

lynxxx

seems to me most of America is embarrassed by this man

6:23 am

Uneaixoise

there will be an unbelievable media frenzy here, I'm sure

6:23 am

NonnieLight

The sad thing about it is those types of people will always draw a crowd.

6:23 am

Uneaixoise

morning, nonnie

6:24 am

Trifioso

Him I don't notice so much. The ones I am well and truly ashamed of are those nutjobs who protest outside of military funerals.

6:24 am

lynxxx

hi Nonnie

6:24 am

Uneaixoise

oh, trif, those people are beyond understanding . . .

6:24 am

NonnieLight

hello une and all===and a good morning to everyone.

6:24 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Nonnie!

6:25 am

Haz1558

Good morning, nonnie.

6:25 am

Trifioso

I agree, une, but they do make me ashamed of america, of those who corrupt the name of church goers, etc

6:25 am

Uneaixoise

saw earlier chat re BR -- I've really missed him as well . ..

6:25 am

NonnieLight

lynxxx, zoom, haz :o)

6:25 am

Trifioso

I noticed the chatter about BR as well. is he not feeling up to his usual self?

6:26 am

Haz1558

Trif, the last time he was on he said that he was having more than his usual struggles, and that his mood meant that he didn't feel like contributing to chat.

6:27 am

Sally-catlover

Have fireworks, and must get my broomstick and fly. Any clues needed?

6:27 am

Trifioso

oh dear. I love when he contributes to the chat. His intelligence is completely intimidating, but he never condescends....

6:27 am

NonnieLight

congrats sally

6:27 am

Trifioso

huzzah for sally!

6:27 am

Haz1558

Well done, Sally!

6:27 am

zoozzoom

WTG Sally!

6:28 am

lynxxx

Hooray for Sally!!

6:28 am

Haz1558

Hopefully he'll be feeling more like himself soon.

6:28 am

NonnieLight

He is a nice fellow and I miss when he is not around.

6:28 am

Sally-catlover

OH just getting up and I wouldn't like him to realise just how long I've been on Babble :-) Will just rush and get mop and bucket.

6:28 am

Trifioso

i will pray for our dear friend. I am going to assume god will know who I mean....

6:28 am

Uneaixoise

congrats, sally!

6:28 am

Haz1558

Always have an instrument of cleanliness to hand, Sally. A duster is good.

6:29 am

NonnieLight

lol haz

6:29 am

Sally-catlover

A duster? Will look it up in wikipedia Haz.

6:29 am

Sally-catlover

If he saw me with a duster he would think I was ill.

6:29 am

Trifioso

ummm. also in the prayers department - I don't really want to discuss this, but I would appreciate prayers on thursday, those of you who are inclined. It is my court date for the dreaded divorce. Hopefully the LAST time I will have to go to court.

6:29 am

Haz1558

A full wastepaper bin by your side,ready to grab. 'I was just emptying this'

6:29 am

zoozzoom

Trif, i hope you don`t mind me saying, but i hope all goes well for you on thursday.

6:30 am

Sally-catlover

lol Haz. *gone*

6:30 am

Trifioso

I dont mind. I hope so too.

6:30 am

NonnieLight

I will keep you in my prayers, tri. My heart goes out to you and your kiddos.

6:30 am

Haz1558

Best wishes for Thursday, Trif. Head high, dignity and clean underwear.

6:30 am

lynxxx

same sentiments from me Trif. Hope 'that' bloke is reasonable when it comes to it

6:30 am

Trifioso

ty nonnie

6:32 am

Trifioso

LOL re the underwear -- forgive me for revealing this, but it is sooooo good -- I was gifted with a beautiful, well made cami to wear under my blouse on thursday. in delicate silk embroidery it says "do not f*ck with me!" it's like a little armor breastplate, just for me

6:32 am

Uneaixoise

all best wishes for Thursday, Trif

6:32 am

NonnieLight

ahahhahaa=="clean underwear"!

6:32 am

Haz1558

6:52 am

Ouwachita

did you know the average person releases those other sounds about 14 times a day?

6:52 am

Trifioso

sorry to burst your bubble there, zooz. contrary to popular opinion, women do indeed do THAT. angels do not swoop down from heaven and carry our away in little silk bags, as popularly believed

6:52 am

MollyL

di7/40...first four letters of sparkly gem + I went for a r*** on my bike.

6:53 am

carleekat

my cat has been on perma purr the last 24 hours...her coat is such that u cannot tell if she has clumps of loose fur knotted in there...and she has never until now ( 7 years ) needed to be brushed... its the nature of her coat ( norwegian forest cat)...i realised yesterday she needed it..badly...pulled out disgusting ammounts of loose fur....and she is over the moon happy now..poor kitty...i was a bad mommy

6:53 am

Trifioso

perma purr!!! LOVE that!

6:53 am

Anniebrook

8:14 am

crosshair

8:19 am

crosshair

warning! bookworm is very,very addictive

8:19 am

Anniebrook

8:19 am

Anniebrook

8:20 am

crosshair

a copy in the store(if you can find) will be just 8 dollars,so you may as well grab it lol

8:20 am

hello again, 80 words this AM

8:23 am

Anniebrook

bye, crossy

8:23 am

Anniebrook

ruby!!

8:24 am

Anniebrook

ruby, send me more pictures..I really enjoyed them. How are you and hubby? Is the arm healing well?

8:25 am

rubyfoo

I have so many pictures, annie, name your genre, e.g. flowers, dogs, mountains, etc.

8:26 am

rubyfoo

nurse is with him now, he is very depressed about his back pain and in general and it is rubbing off on me!

8:26 am

Anniebrook

dogs, the house and anything else you would like to send

8:27 am

rubyfoo

will do it a little bit later, just say "uncle" when you've had enough!

8:27 am

Anniebrook

ruby, is the back pain a result of the fall? never say "uncle"

8:28 am

rubyfoo

yes, when the dog took him down, he hurt his back but didn't realize it because he was so focused on the bites. Therefore, he continued with his regular activities (lifting) and now it is worsening, not getting better.

8:28 am

rubyfoo

and his birthday was on the 30th and he's very depressed about getting old

8:29 am

a water heater should never need to be bled for pressure,it has a pressure relief valve and if the water temp is correctly set it should never come into play

2:27 pm

crosshair

jmc,please tell me what you do not like about the tankless unit please

2:27 pm

PAV3

exactly crossy...which is why i said "may"

2:28 pm

jmcnrick

it is not able to deal well with changes in water flow so if I start with a high flow and lower it the WH starts running around in circles flapping its hands, crying "What am I supposed to do now?"

2:29 pm

PAV3

I take it it is somewhat programmable? is there is factory reset?

2:29 pm

jmcnrick

and I got the one with all the best ratings

2:30 pm

jmcnrick

I could kinda understand the water going cold when I increase the rate of flow but I am baffled by it getting cold when i lower the rate of flow

2:31 pm

crosshair

mmm,strange

2:32 pm

jmcnrick

i am wondering if there is an issue with the gas flow

2:32 pm

crosshair

i have seen those top end unit run 3 showers at once

2:33 pm

PAV3

so...higher rate of flow = less time being heated; lower flow rate = longer heating; but is the WH unit big enough to handle the total need for your home?

2:33 pm

jmcnrick

anyway I need to figure out what to do because it has been bad enough when it was warm outside but having a shower suddenly go cold in the winter. . . . brrrrrrrrrrrrrr

2:33 pm

jmcnrick

i got a unit that should be big enough for my house --- it is just me

2:33 pm

PAV3

ah, a gas heater...out of my 'element"

2:34 pm

i may have to have a real plumber come look at it instead of my reliable handyman who is a plumber

oh, m9, I am SO GLAD you let me know about this great resource in my own backyard! - I found something amazing - a copy of my grandfather's marriage certificate (NYC 1905) - so cool!

3:11 pm

SeaSpray

ty crossy..I will check it out...

3:11 pm

m9f9l

isn't that neat!! You know you can search at familysearch from home.. no fee. I think I've told you that before:

3:12 pm

JBV

but I am having a real hard time finding a passenger list for my grandmother -

3:12 pm

m9f9l

at home.. google beta familysearch. that has updates in it everyday from the stuff folks are indexing

3:13 pm

m9f9l

did they both go back?

3:13 pm

JBV

yes, I am exploring the resources - I am going back on Wednesday night when the lady who helped me before is on duty - she is really great!

3:13 pm

m9f9l

Have you gone to the Ellis Island site?

3:13 pm

m9f9l

She's probably a clone of the one I work with!LOL

3:13 pm

JBV

yes they both went back to Italy, but right now I'm trying to find her passage from Italy to NY

3:14 pm

m9f9l

What was her name again?

3:14 pm

m9f9l

and have you contacted your cousins about maybe finding his birth in Italy?

3:14 pm

JBV

well, of course, that's the $64,000 question - either Girolama LaBarbera or Girolama LaBarbara or about a hundred other possible misspellings

3:15 pm

JBV

I am walking on eggshells with the cousins, there are a few reasons why I can't push this - one day I'll write a book :)

3:15 pm

m9f9l

then make sure you don't have "exact" checked!LOL

3:16 pm

m9f9l

OOOooohhhh..

3:17 pm

m9f9l

just found passanger list. she's from Mezzoiuso right??

3:18 pm

m9f9l

arrival date 06 May 1898

3:18 pm

m9f9l

yes?

3:19 pm

m9f9l

wait...were they already married?

3:24 pm

JBV

thanks, m9 - I was just looking at the beta site you gave me - I think I have a copy of that one 1898 - but what's her age?

3:24 pm

m9f9l

36

3:25 pm

JBV

I don't think so - the marriage certificate (which I am 99.99% sure is theirs) has her at age 30 in 1905

3:25 pm

JBV

it's very unlikely = age 36 in 1898, would make her 45 when my father was born in 1907

3:26 pm

m9f9l

but she may have lied about being older just for proprietys' sake??

3:27 pm

JBV

or lied about being younger when she got married? remarried? very intriguing

3:28 pm

m9f9l

what year do you think she arrived? approx?

3:28 pm

JBV

I've tried with a range between 1895 and 1905 (marriage certificate is March 1905 in NYC)

3:28 pm

m9f9l

i was 42 when Gage was born.. just sayin'

3:29 pm

m9f9l

wow.. there's a lot of gals with that name!

3:30 pm

JBV

my father wanted to name me with her name!! My mother put her foot down and said absolutely no way, so my name is Joanne (father Joe, mother Anna)

3:31 pm

JBV

it's the female version of Jerome (Girolamo)

3:32 pm

m9f9l

here's someone got here in 04 and is 25...

Once every 24 hours the grid/puzzle changes.

4:27 pm

J. C.

Other than that, no.

4:28 pm

bichon

Hi everyone

4:28 pm

bichon

A clue for the li 7 would be delightful

4:28 pm

mrswhiski

how do I read the tile stats?

4:28 pm

J. C.

Hello, Bichon.

4:28 pm

J. C.

They show you how many words start with each letter tile in the grid, mrswhiski.

4:29 pm

bichon

Hi J.C. Are you new to Babble?

4:29 pm

J. C.

For instance the upper left one - U0/2, means that two words start with that tile. If you find a word, it will change to U1/2.

4:29 pm

J. C.

No, bichon.

4:30 pm

mrswhiski

thanks J.C.

You're welcome, mrswhiski.

4:30 pm

Sorry, thought you were the newbi, not mrswhiski

4:31 pm

mrswhiski

but why are some people asking for clue li7 ???

4:31 pm

mrswhiski

Nope - I'm the newbie

4:31 pm

J. C.

Because they can't find the 7-letter word starting with the letter pair 'li'.

4:31 pm

J. C.

If you open the lickety's list page, you will see what you need to find - it lists all the letter pair groups, alphabetically and gives their point values.

4:32 pm

bichon

because I don't know what it is. If you have Babble Expert you get a list of all the words in the grid, first two letters, number of letters and points

4:32 pm

J. C.

You will find the link for the lickety's list page below the tile stats area...

4:32 pm

mrswhiski

how do they know it starts with "li" ?

4:32 pm

bichon

the list on the left hand side of the screen will tell them

4:33 pm

J. C.

You will have access to view the stats for a fortnight after joining, after which they will disappear unless you buy a pro membership - which is very cheap and only a one-time fee. The low cost ($14.95 US) goes to help support the cost of providing this site...

4:33 pm

J. C.

Going pro also enables you to have a bio/profile.

4:34 pm

bichon

That's how I know so many nice things abut J.C. :-)

4:34 pm

mrswhiski

OK thanks for the help JC & Bichon! I'm off to find lickety's list!

4:34 pm

J. C.

Well. If you load the lickety's list page in another window, you will see how - it shows you what you need to find. You see all the letter pair groups.

4:34 pm

J. C.

And the point values for each word you need to find.

4:34 pm

bichon

li 7?

4:35 pm

J. C.

You want a clue for the li7, bichon?

4:35 pm

bichon

yes I do

4:35 pm

J. C.

Think of a word for something Tarzan swings on, plus a robotic ending.

4:36 pm

J. C.

And mrswhiski - you will find the link for the Lickety's list page in the section of links just below the Tile Stats. Right-click that link and open the list page in another browser window - then alt-tab back and forth beteween the two. Easier that way...

Hi, jilli!

8:13 pm

jillibus

Good news on the news, btw -- a California judge has overturned the appalling "don't ask, don't tell" ruling by the US military.

8:14 pm

J. C.

Well Jill, how nice to see you - and naturally. You're probably aware of the 'Bertha' character I often joke about in my shows, yes?

8:14 pm

kje

ooooooo - wet t-shirt? can I throw oe back?

8:14 pm

kje

hi jilli

8:14 pm

J. C.

Well no, blueheron. Only those who assume much without knowing what's behind anything - most have the courtesy to ask if in doubt, fortunately.

8:14 pm

featherbee

*revs up supersoaker*

8:14 pm

Nancy Boy

Ohh Blue, it wasn't meant in a derogatory way! JC is the nicest I know.

jillibus

Yahoo page, JC?

8:16 pm

blueheron

ok JC..point taken.

8:16 pm

J. C.

Well ruru, the fact that I am flaming gay should show that I'm obviously not insulting anyone else for being, one would think?!

8:16 pm

J. C.

Yes, Jill...

8:25 pm

Jellen

But I'll be an honorary gay person, if you like...

8:25 pm

kje

I am happy - does that count?

8:25 pm

dan2bit

I prefer to think of myself as straight but not narrow

8:26 pm

Jellen

Who isn't anyone, blue?

8:26 pm

J. C.

I don't understand, blueheron - when I am gay?

8:26 pm

featherbee

an honorary gay person... i like that. yep, that's me.

8:26 pm

J. C.

Try again...

8:26 pm

Nancy Boy

Ummmm...Blue, I really don't know what you mean...?

8:26 pm

rururocks

8:28 pm

Nancy Boy

8:28 pm

gapeach

May I please have a clue for sa6-21? Thanks

8:28 pm

J. C.

No. I don't either, Jesse. Blueheron, I am gay. I am also a comedian and 'Bertha the Bulldyke' is a funny, fictitional character I mention a lot during my shows. I'm sorry if you don't have enough of a sense of humour to understand or appreciate that, but thankfully those who see the shows do - including my other gay friends - both male and female.

8:29 pm

blueheron

my point is that

8:29 pm

blueheron

my point is that

my point is that

8:29 pm

Pinikula

* hiccup *

8:29 pm

J. C.

I think it's wisest not to assume anything about what you don't have any idea about...

8:29 pm

Nancy Boy

Pini, your picture is really pretty!

8:29 pm

blueheron

how did you like the hiccup?

8:30 pm

Jellen

Ooh, got the sa 6/21!

8:30 pm

Pinikula

I'd say 'bless you', blue, but it wasn't a sneeze...

8:31 pm

tcnjgrad10

anyone in here a baseball fan at all?

8:31 pm

Pinikula

...what do you say to someone who hiccups? anything? :)

8:31 pm

blueheron

yes tcn

8:31 pm

Pinikula

jmc is, grad10, but she's not here

8:31 pm

Jellen

8:31 pm

Nancy Boy

I just count the hiccups Pini, but that's just me!

8:31 pm

blueheron

thanks jellen

8:31 pm

Pinikula

thx jellen ;)

8:32 pm

Pinikula

Does standing on one's head while drinking a glass of water help hiccups at all?

8:32 pm

Nancy Boy

(or try and make the person hiccupping clear their throat, because that makes them about 10x funnier)

8:32 pm

Fauxmage

I usually suggest a spoonful of sugar Pinikula.

8:32 pm

tcnjgrad10

I'm a Met fan so my season has been over for a while but I love the postseason

I, like others here, am straight, but not narrow, and there are lots of gays babbling and doing all sorts of brilliant things, including my d-i-l's brother and many great people I knew in the dog-showing world, and so on and on and on. Please feel perfectly comfy here!

Even reading your posts on here has my heart racing.

10:21 pm

Hi, Jac

10:22 pm

Jacula

Hi Jellen. I'm not coping well with this.

10:22 pm

Jellen

You know, I used to go down into the old lead and zinc mines when I was a child...don't think I could do it now...

10:23 pm

Jellen

Just try to think of the wide open spaces the rescued are escaping to...

10:23 pm

Jacula

I did, too, Jellen, and the old manganse mines in Wales but only so far before I couldn't see light and had to race out.

10:24 pm

Jellen

Oh, I went down in a bucket...

10:24 pm

Jacula

I assume my claustrophobia is due to me trying to be born with my cord wrapped thrice around my neck.

10:24 pm

Jellen

Goodness, Jac!

10:25 pm

Jacula

Jellen - re the birth story - I can only imagine that my first slice of life outside the womb was acompanied by a feeling of beeing crushed and hemmed in, and strangled, whilst seeing light above me. I know that the crack of light above me through a floorboard above was the only thing that kept me from running and screaming from the first room in the Warwick xcastle dungeon experience. Beloved realised what was happening when I stuck myself into a corner out of the crowd and held me until I could escape through the door we'd entered through. I left him and 'Step' to go through the rest of the dungeon. he ended up getting his head chopped off (but not really).

10:30 pm

Jacula

The dungeon experience is a laugh, if you're not claustophobic.
