Both abridgment and the more regular abridgement are current in America, only the latter in the UK. Similarly for the word lo8. Both judgment and judgement are in use interchangeably everywhere, although the former prevails in America and the latter prevails in the UK

Im not that keen on them as they make me feel groggo but occasionally they work.
Had stuff I needed to do first thing this a.m and then of course there was sudoku and then the grid - the rest of the day is pretty much "whatever".

3:10 am

sprite

3:24 am

rubyfoo

sprite

I noticed, liz, lol. So fast a space got in between.

3:52 am

FMitch

lo

3:52 am

FMitch

and it is a strange word

3:52 am

sprite

it has to be. Have been looking for big Lo words all this time. Ok, time to entice the monkeys with banana splits...

3:53 am

sprite

hah! Works every time. Come and get your banana splits, guys, you did great work.
Thanks FM :D

3:54 am

FMitch

LOL isn't it funny how that works!!

3:54 am

sprite

it is amazing!

3:55 am

rubyfoo

I found it, too, but would have thought it had an internal l!

3:55 am

FMitch

actually it is a pretty normal word once you have found it and double checked the def.

3:55 am

rubyfoo

e*

3:55 am

sprite

I would expect an E in between.

3:55 am

rubyfoo

snap, sprite

3:56 am

sprite

:)

3:56 am

FMitch

I think the e is lost once you start adding the various endings.

3:57 am

FMitch

Blame the English for the english spellings (probably) :)

3:57 am

sprite

that must be it. No logic in english, grin. Nor in dutch, for that matter.

3:57 am

FMitch

If HAz was here she could tell us.

sprite

ok! See, some things a foreigner will never learn. Thanks FM.

4:02 am

Kazzer99

FMitch

4:02 am

4:09 am

rubyfoo

I was blocking that, lol

4:09 am

Kazzer99

Morning HAz - you have missed some great laughs.
lol ruby.

4:10 am

Haz1558

Oh, ruby, I ALWAYS read the chog.

4:10 am

rubyfoo

oh no!

4:10 am

Haz1558

It's the only way to keep up the register of misdemeanours.

4:10 am

sprite

it may spoil finding a biggie, but will make up for it in laughs

4:11 am

FMitch

we were calling for you earlier for gramatical info.

4:11 am

rubyfoo

several of us (especially me) have black splotches.....

4:11 am

Haz1558

Grammatical info? Let me loose.

4:11 am

sprite

*writes one down for Haz because of the vacuum joke!*

4:12 am

Kazzer99

rah - no more 8s or 9s - now I will concentrate on the rest of the little ones - i am cooking a roast for lunch today which is unusually cos we noramlly have it in an evening

4:12 am

FMitch

the question was why is there no e in the lo8/9 where you would think one would be.

4:12 am

Haz1558

Phone..

4:13 am

sprite

sounds lovely for any time a day, Kazz. And gratz.

4:13 am

FMitch

Haz thinks she can phone a friend?

4:13 am

sprite

Haz is going to look up the question

4:14 am

FMitch

She must think she is on "Who wants to be a millionaire"?

4:14 am

rubyfoo

just found a strange ma7/8, friend of mine's last name

4:15 am

dizgrannie

Hey all you Americans...when is Thanksgiving? I know its coming up, not sure of date

4:17 am

FMitch

She is a big turnip?

4:17 am

sprite

roflol!

4:17 am

Haz1558

Sorry, the e in the middle of lo8/9 is negotiable and both versions are acceptable.

4:17 am

rubyfoo

he is, but sweet like a rutabaga

4:17 am

Haz1558

I'd spell it with an e in the middle because it looks wrong without, but there you go.

4:18 am

sprite

thanks Haz, for obscuring that even more for me

4:18 am

FMitch

darn thought we would bet a black and white answer from you Haz.

4:18 am

Haz1558

Clear as mud, isn't it?

4:19 am

sprite

well at least now I know I wil spell it correctly... if all goes, all goes.

4:20 am

FMitch

and funnily enough enable does accept the lo with an e spelling.

4:20 am

FMitch

so we have all enriched our wordpower for today :)

4:21 am

rubyfoo

enable is relaxed about s vs. z, also

4:22 am

FMitch

I think that must be a US influence

4:22 am

rubyfoo

see you later, folks, getting on toward luch time

4:22 am

FMitch

Toodles ruby.

4:22 am

Haz1558

Bye ruby - I'd better head towards the kitchen as well. Toodle-oo all!

Hi Sprite if you're still there. Just going to read back in the chog before I start (for the chat, not the clues!)

4:42 am

sprite

hi Sally, the chat is hilarious, grin.

4:51 am

Sally-catlover

Back from quick read. Yes :-)

4:51 am

sprite

fireflies for me. Very interesting grid. Some odd words, but also some lovely biggies. Have loads of fun, Sally!

4:51 am

Sally-catlover

Now is it cheating to put in the oo word which is spelt out?

4:52 am

Sally-catlover

The little ones just pass me by!

4:52 am

sprite

nope. You have seen it, you cannot unsee it now. So put it in. The other biggies are much more fun anyway.

4:52 am

Sally-catlover

Done. Gave me some root words as well. Well, I have only just started!

4:53 am

sprite

it is a twisty grid. Some words are like snakes, that twisty.

4:53 am

sprite

you will love this grid. Sorry to leave you, but I have to get going. Enjoy yourself, Sally, and have a grand day!

4:54 am

Sally-catlover

OK, thanks Sprite. Have a lovely day yourself.

I cannot believe there are 22 words from that M!

5:31 am

Norma

I don't think I know 22 words beginning with M lol

5:33 am

Sally-catlover

I have 13 of them and don't think any more are possible!

5:34 am

Norma

Are there any Long Words from the M ?? Sally

5:35 am

Sally-catlover

Longest I have is 7 (so far!)

5:35 am

hurshy

you definitely know more than 22 M words. here are 22 NOT in the grid that i'm sure you know... mood mush must musk moan merry make mellow mash mask many mangle mope mole mode motion mocha match muse major minor more

5:36 am

hurshy

which is not to say that THESE 22 are easy, for i need six more myself.

5:36 am

Norma

Show off hurshy lol

5:36 am

Sally-catlover

All right, I give in! Now I shall see those words all the time I am looking.

5:37 am

hurshy

anyone can come up with lots of words if they aren't confined to words that are in the grid :)

5:38 am

hurshy

i must say i am sad that you can't be either a mandog or a dogman :(

5:39 am

Norma

LOL

5:43 am

Sally-catlover

Just found an ma 7/8, a root vegetable if you don't have it.

5:46 am

Norma

Thank you Sally

Sally-catlover

Do you want the stats?

5:54 am

hurshy

5:54 am

Sally-catlover

5:55 am

hurshy

5:55 am

hurshy

5:59 am

hurshy

6:00 am

Sally-catlover

I think in English (as opposed to US English) we would tend to put the letter E in the middle of the lo words.

6:01 am

hurshy

you might, but it might be wrong, if it's like ju* end the same way. i don't think in american english we use these LO words at all! but thank you i found them

6:01 am

Sally-catlover

I think it's optional, but I haven't looked it up. Just tried it and it worked!

6:02 am

hurshy

Morning all. Ma7 is Mari's brother. : D

6:30 am

Sally-catlover

It's a sort of dirty yellow, lynxxx, and as far as I know never eaten by humans - don't know why, perhaps it's very tough.

6:30 am

Brookie

Cute clue, Molly, and Hi!

6:31 am

Good Morning Fellow Babblers. I had plans for brunch this AM; but the world has turned in to a ice rink outside on just a minimal amount of drizzle. 370+ accidents here in the Twin Cities (MN) overnight!

8:41 am

welki

i see you've gone pro ... didn't take long :)

8:41 am

Anniebrook

I have the oo 8 and 9, thanks to clues..does anyone know what the other 8 and 9 start with

8:41 am

hi nef

8:42 am

Anniebrook

hi nef, stay home and safe

8:42 am

72 Temple Owl

er, when were those clues?

8:42 am

LuckyIrish

good grief nef-------stay home. Don't be a statistic!

8:42 am

LuckyIrish

good grief nef-------stay home. Don't be a statistic!

8:42 am

Nef

Annie, there's an lo 8/9 and an ho 8/9 too

8:42 am

welki

oo + cell that can be fertilized (then plural)

8:43 am

Nef

We will stay home for a few hours anyway. I don't want to dent our new (to us anyway) car

8:43 am

72 Temple Owl

8:43 am

oops, thought someone asked for the oooooooo

8:44 am

Anniebrook

can you clue the ho 8 and 9?

8:44 am

Nef

I have all 4 of the 9's but am missing an 8 yet

8:44 am

NonoNanette

8:45 am

Anniebrook

hi Nono

8:45 am

Nef

ho 8/9 are combo word and pl

8:45 am

NonoNanette

annie the ho8/ 9 are what you might be called if you get angry easily

8:45 am

Anniebrook

thanks nef, will start my search

8:45 am

Nef

(someone with quick tempers?)

8:45 am

Anniebrook

8:46 am

Anniebrook

hotheaded?

8:46 am

welki

irish, have you found babble expert or lickety's list yet? the list will help you finish grids, but unfortunately, isn't working today. babble expert is an import/export program that allows you to see the list, the grid and chat all in one screen

8:46 am

Anniebrook

I got it!!!

8:46 am

NonoNanette

sort of but think body fluids

8:46 am

Nef

there are several words that use the bl 5/16 (also a hint for ho8/9, Annie)

8:47 am

Anniebrook

Yes, thanks to you all, I got it

8:47 am

Nef

welki, Babble expert doesn't work with Macs yet.

8:48 am

Anniebrook

is the lo 8 a compound word?

8:48 am

welki

does irish have a mac? (i know that, since i do)

8:48 am

welki

<-- just assumes she's the odd one out using a mac :)

8:49 am

Nef

Annie, yes, just leave out a vowel in the middle

8:49 am

Nef

Oh! welki! I didn't know that you used one too! Now I don't feel *quite* so slighted! ;-)

8:50 am

Anniebrook

thanks, nef, will search

8:50 am

Nef

or, rather Odd, not slighted

8:50 am

LuckyIrish

Irish has a pc. I have become a pro member. don't know anything about babble expert or lickety's list.

I am missing one 4 letter m word - I think it's an ma

8:52 am

welki

when you have a moment, click on the link at the bottom of the page .. lickety's list .. some people tile their screens and add words (helps you find out which ones you're missing). if you send lickety an email, he'll send you the link to babble expert (unfortunately, this site will be upgraded in the future, so expert is a temporary thing)

8:52 am

Nef

Welcome, Irish! I always tell newbies that AngelSong's Babble Page (found under the tiles stats grid, in the "Friends of Babble" list is) is very helpful.

8:52 am

Jayde287

hehehe .. .the canine criminal investigation show ... book'em, dano

9:08 am

MollyL

I don't consider the lo8/9 combo compound words. Maybe it's just me.

9:09 am

Anniebrook

I am still searching for the lo 8 and 9..any clues, molly

9:10 am

MollyL

The first part of the word usually has "ski" in front of it. Leave off the last vowel. The second part is a and after dinner m*** with a different vowel.

9:11 am

Nef

A rooming house? MollyL, I guess to me it *looks* like a compound word; but in strict terms,you are correct

9:11 am

Anniebrook

Thank you! Molly

9:12 am

Anniebrook

got the lo 8 and 9

9:13 am

Nef

WTG, Annie!

9:13 am

Anniebrook

I have the oo, lo, ho, 8 and 9's...anyone know the other one

9:13 am

Anniebrook

thanks, nef

9:14 am

Anniebrook

great clue, molly

9:14 am

Nef

Annie, I don't think the last one is an 8/9 combo. I have all 4 9's but am missing an 8

9:15 am

Anniebrook

an9 is going to be a doozy..I am not crazy about long words starting with a vowel

9:16 am

Nef

maybe there's a 7/8 combo I don't have yet?

9:16 am

Nef

an(??? I have a bl9/78 as my unmatched 9

9:18 am

Anniebrook

the only bl I have is the red stuff

9:19 am

Nef

extend it (pertains to eyes)

9:19 am

Anniebrook

LOL, I read your chat incorrectly...I took your an 8/9 for a clue. my error

9:19 am

phaeton

hello

9:20 am

Nef

Oh, my! Sorry!!!

9:20 am

Nef

Hi phaeton

9:20 am

phaeton

Anniebrook

Nef, thanks...got the bl 9...bless you

9:21 am

Anniebrook

no list, phae..doubt if I will finish

9:22 am

Nef

I was here last night after the flip and someone said they posted clues in their profile. I was just looking to see who it was and can't find who it was so far

9:22 am

sixty7stang13

9:28 am

Anniebrook

Thanks Molly!

9:28 am

Nef

thank you , Molly. I kept trying to extend the fruit

9:28 am

LuckyIrish

thanks molly

9:28 am

MollyL

Apparently it's some kind of root vegetable grown to feed cattle in the UK. I've learned my something new for the day.

9:28 am

smooth_pappa

thanks molly, and good morning all!

9:29 am

Anniebrook

and I was trying to extend the thing you hang on refrigerators

9:29 am

Nef

(But not the right way)

9:29 am

Nef

hi smooth! Did you get the freezing drizzle and ice roads overnight?

9:29 am

Anniebrook

hi smooth

9:29 am

Anniebrook

I must be on my way...be back later

9:30 am

Nef

bye, Annie

9:30 am

smooth_pappa

actaually, no... it's still ry. We're supposed to get some rain today, but it's warming up. Should cool back down tomorrow

9:30 am

smooth_pappa

*dry

9:30 am

Deeha

When we were little we used to be read a book named Worzel Gummidge about a scarecrow and one of his friends was called Earthy Ma8!!

9:31 am

Nef

370+ accidents here in the Twin Cities overnight. The roads are sheer ice and we had less than 1/10th of an inch in moisture

9:32 am

Nef

what was the title of the book, Deeha?

9:32 am

smooth_pappa

wow! No, we really haven't had any sign of winter yet. Every now and then it will dip below freezing, and stay there for a day before getting back up to the 40s and 50s. I'm kind of getting tired of this, and just want it to start snowing already

9:32 am

MollyL

Smooth, your photographs are amazing. Do you sell prints?

9:32 am

Kazzer99

back again - keep getting distracted - had a lovely lunch of roast brisket, follwed by apple crumble

9:33 am

Nef

We had 8 inches of snow a week ago Saturday; the wet heavy stuff. It's only on the north lawns and snow piles now. How are you missing this stuff? ;-)

9:33 am

Deeha

It was a whole series I suppose the original was called Worzel Gummidge- they evenutually made a tv series but it wasnt as good as the books.

9:34 am

smooth_pappa

thanks molly. I do... although, my printer closed down, so I'm looking for a new printer at the moment. :(

9:34 am

smooth_pappa

Nef... it keeps going north or south of us. I swear, there is a giant umbrella over Madison right now.

9:35 am

MollyL

Good. I'd like to purchase a copy of "Golden Ripple". I will contact you via your web site.

9:36 am

Nef

LOL! There must be --for now. It sounds like we will be in for some more bad weather the middle of the week. Maybe you will get that?

9:36 am

smooth_pappa

I sure hope so Nef ;)

And thanks Mol!

9:43 am

smooth_pappa

gah! so many phantom words today!

9:49 am

Angelsong

hi, all. I've been waiting for today for a while. I get to start preparing the food for Thanksgiving. I love cooking holiday meals.

9:52 am

Nef

Hi Angel. I was waiting for today to go visit my former neighbors for brunch; but until the icy roads improve, we are stuck at home

9:52 am

Nef

(Sorry, I wandered off an made coffee. I totally agree with you about the phantoms, smooth

9:53 am

Nancy Boy

hi, all

9:53 am

Kazzer99

dosh

9:53 am

Nef

AND, my typing stinks today

9:54 am

Kazzer99

oh bugger again - soory folks must take more care where i am leaving the cursor

9:54 am

Nef

hi NB and Kazzer

9:54 am

smooth_pappa

no worries Nef, I wandered into a list to help me find some words. :) Hey nancy!

9:55 am

Deeha

Think dosh must be an English expression Kazzer?

9:55 am

Kazzer99

hi nef - i have been in and out of here today like a g*ness knows what

9:55 am

Kazzer99

whos got a list today

9:56 am

Deeha

Fiddlers elbow Kazzer!!

9:56 am

Nef

VolleymomDee

9:57 am

Nancy Boy

awww there's no list? I'm feeling waaay too fragile after last night, to do this without a list...

9:58 am

Nef

NB, VolleymomDee has a list

9:58 am

Nancy Boy

I might be feeling too delicate to do it anyway ;) my body's being punished today.

9:59 am

Nef

NB, you sjouldn't have punished it last night!

10:00 am

Nef

er, shouldn't. I had to learn the hard way that my body doesn't like booze.

10:00 am

Nancy Boy

but last night I could be blase about it ;)

10:01 am

Nancy Boy

oh no, that's the unfair thing, I didn't even drink! Still have that gone-through-a-blender feeling though

10:02 am

Nef

I know. I found even as little as 1 drink could make me yell "Ralph" the whole next day. It's a tough lesson to learn: what or how much you really can have and survive intact

10:05 am

Nef

oh; sorry! Here I thought that you'd been drunk! However, we do have to learn limits on other stuff too. I pulled a groin muscle over 2 months ago and I can't lift my grandson now until it's fully healed. (I've had to learn that the hard way!) :-(

10:12 am

smooth_pappa

can anyone clue the HO 8, please?

10:12 am

Nef

Just looked out the front window at the road. The only tire tracks on it are from the neighbor across the street: the marks show they backed out of their drive, but when they tried driving forward; they must have slid right into the curb on this side of the street! Their tire marks show they skidded the whole rest of the street that I can see. I'm sorry, but I'm not *that* crazy to get anywhere just yet! It's starting to warm up (Just 32 degrees right now; up from 28degrees (F). I can wait.)

10:13 am

smooth_pappa

nevermind... got it :)

10:13 am

Nef

smooth, someone who has a quick temper can be called this combo word (and its' pl)

10:14 am

crosshair

good morning everyone -2 c here and snowed a tad last night:)

10:14 am

smooth_pappa

Yeah, when I saw that word, it was like looking in a mirror ;) just so obvious.

10:14 am

sciencegeek

Good day all! Can someone clue the upper middle e, please?

10:15 am

Nef

YOU, smooth???!!! Not in my memory! ;-)

10:15 am

Nef

Hi crossy and science

10:15 am

Nef

it's a volcano alert word, SG

10:15 am

crosshair

howdy nef;)

10:16 am

smooth_pappa

lol... well, me, my mom, and her dad all have some very similar traits, and when the three of us get together, we can get a little HO8, just because we all have the same buttons ;)

10:16 am

sciencegeek

volcano alert? lost me

10:17 am

Nef

there is a volcano in Italy that often shows up here in grids, SG. I thought you may have been here long enough to run into it. et 4/4

10:17 am

sciencegeek

that is not the middle e, that is the corner e

10:18 am

crosshair

en 7/44 a compound word

10:18 am

Nef

OOPS. try E 4/5 then

10:19 am

sciencegeek

ty crossy that was one of them

10:19 am

Nef

b;s are hard today

10:22 am

sciencegeek

oops b's

10:23 am

MollyL

I can't believe no one has clued ho8 as the singular of a song by Foreigner. This is not a very rock and roll kinda group.

10:23 am

Nef

at least 3 relate to a body fluid

10:23 am

sciencegeek

have two of the fluid ones

10:23 am

Nef

maybe many of us are older that that age group, Molly?

10:24 am

crosshair

back in a min or 2,must whip up a nice omlette,with onions,green pepper and some nice shaved extra old white cheddar,fried in butter of course;)..semi-poof!

10:24 am

Nef

bl 9 relates to your eyes, SG

10:24 am

MollyL

The bi's are a bitch, which is not technically in the grid, but the letters are in there : D That is a definite possibility Nef, the age thing.

10:24 am

sciencegeek

yes ty!

10:24 am

sciencegeek

lol

10:25 am

sciencegeek

ok 41 left and I need to go do laundry and other mundane things

10:26 am

Kaplan the Magne

Hot Ice

10:26 am

MollyL

Good eye Kap, I missed that.

10:27 am

Kaplan the Magne

If my eye was so good, I'd be done.

10:29 am

Kaplan the Magne

I can t wake up this morning.

10:29 am

Nef

I'm just confused by that Kap.

10:30 am

Kaplan the Magne

By what, Nef?

10:31 am

Nef

your oxymoron. But I'm just now getting my first cup of coffee; so am a bit slow today

10:32 am

Kaplan the Magne

It's in the grid. Hot ice. not a real word.

10:32 am

Kaplan the Magne

What other clues for ho8?

10:33 am

Nef

DUH! Thanks!

10:33 am

MollyL

When people get angry they are said to have...

10:33 am

Nef

Ho 8 is what you might call someone with a short temper

10:34 am

MollyL

I'll just sing Foreigner by myself. : P

10:35 am

Kaplan the Magne

All I can think of is hothead. My brain is running through its song catalog.

10:35 am

Krysten

warm + what vampires drink

10:35 am

MollyL

I'm _______ check it and see, I got a fever of 103

10:35 am

Kaplan the Magne

Oh, that. I think of it more as passionate than angry.

10:36 am

Nef

try adding a bl5/16 to the beginning

10:36 am

Kazzer99

down to final 15 - all s's

10:36 am

Kaplan the Magne

12:48 pm

Judi

Was it an allergic reaction?

12:49 pm

MollyL

I can't find anything searching subonone. Was it suboxone?

12:49 pm

12:56 pm

sammysmom

Hello again. Molly, are you still here? Ididn't mean that most of us were too old for Rock and Roll earlier; I meant that most of those on at that time probably didn't know who Foreigner was! (BIG difference, there!) :-)

cosdem

66 left

6:51 pm

herinfernallady

That said Nef I am wearing winter cloths

6:51 pm

herinfernallady

clothes

6:52 pm

Nef

why herin? When it's 80 F you should dress lighter than winter clothes

6:53 pm

herinfernallady

Um because our house is old and it takes time to warm up. INside it is about 20C

6:53 pm

Nef

OOPS! I bet "winter clothes" means something different "Down Under" than it does here! :-D

6:54 pm

dfmchfhf

<-- is wearing summer clothes and it is -2C outside o.o

6:54 pm

herinfernallady

6:56 pm

cosdem

4 more days til blizzard watch here!

6:56 pm

herinfernallady

ButOk. brrrrrrrr

6:57 pm

cosdem

This is odd. I am finding words easier using a list i printed out rather than use lickety's.

6:58 pm

dfmchfhf

Paper tends to do that, cos :o)

6:58 pm

dfmchfhf

I tend to find more words if I play with my paper grids than if I just stare at my screen

6:58 pm

MollyL

I love using lists I copy and paste into a word document. I can then DELETE the words I get.

6:59 pm

cosdem

i have 50 left and ive only asked for clues maybe 3 or 4 times

7:00 pm

herinfernallady

I have a question. As a first Christmas present for a friends baby. I am looking at getting a book as a keepsake is this a good idea?

7:01 pm

cosdem

i do that for my nieces

7:01 pm

herinfernallady

http://nickigreenberg.com/hamlet.shtml THis is the book both parents are book nerds

7:01 pm

7:09 pm

dfmchfhf

7:10 pm

herinfernallady

7:38 pm

The UN has removed a reference to sexual orientation from a resolution condemning arbitrary and unjustified executions.

The UN General Assembly resolution, which is renewed every two years, contained a reference opposing the execution of LBGT people in its 2008 version. But this year's version passed without any reference to gay rights after a group of mostly African and Asian countries, led by Mali and Morocco, voted to remove it.

7:38 pm

herinfernallady

Pini isn't it funny when a woman of 40 plus has a younger man everyone goes OMG stop the world and if it is a male it is all Woot go you

7:39 pm

Pinikula

no kidding, herin...

7:39 pm

Pinikula

when will we ever learn, cos?

7:39 pm

herinfernallady

Cos that is a bit frightening as you still have LBGT refugees that plead asylum on those grounds

7:40 pm

cosdem

I know. I'm just relieved I'm a citizen of a somewhat sane country.

7:40 pm

herinfernallady

But then again in China you can be thrown in a Labour camp for twittering

7:41 pm

cosdem

idk whats wrong with people sometimes.

7:41 pm

herinfernallady

Cos you just gave me a mental image from Southpark of Sparky the dog and ''don't be gay'' Don't ask me why it just popped into my brain

7:42 pm

cosdem

I mean.. it's fine if you oppose being gay for whatever reasons.. i respect that (but i dont like it!) but... to advocate killing them.

7:42 pm

chiromomm

L top row- got le 4 5 4 4 4. last one?

7:43 pm

Pinikula

fear and ignorance, cos...amazing what it can do...more often than not...very sad what it can do

7:43 pm

cosdem

it pisses me off how some people.. my brother included.. thinks its a choice. do they really think i chose to get kicked out of the house when I was 16 and live on the streets?

7:43 pm

Pinikula

li 4 5 4 4 4 4

7:44 pm

cosdem

i have to say i was worried about chatting in babble when i first joined but i have found this group of people to be very friendly and open minded and loving. im glad i found this game

7:44 pm

herinfernallady

Cos my friends dad kicked him out of home when he went ''Dad I am gay''. Thank gods at my friends funeral I didn't recognise his father. Half of his family didn't have a clue and sucked

7:45 pm

Pinikula

one of the things I love about the community here, cos ;)

7:45 pm

herinfernallady

Cos my response to people saying ''Don't be gay'' is don't be straight

Pinikula

hi magy

7:50 pm

dfmchfhf

hi mag, and everyone else I missed greeting while my Internet was down :o)

7:50 pm

MollyL

You know, I don't know why people get uptight about people who love each other. No matter what sex those two people are. As I recall, the suggestion was "the greatest of these, is love." I don't recall there being a sexual orientation sticker put on that suggestion.

7:51 pm

Pinikula

agreed, molly

7:51 pm

dfmchfhf

I never understood the problem with sexual orientation :o/

7:52 pm

dfmchfhf

then again, I never quite understood love in general...

7:53 pm

Pinikula

you'll learn, dfm...eventually

7:53 pm

Pinikula

keep the faith

7:54 pm

dfmchfhf

"eventually"...

7:55 pm

Pinikula

hey, what can I say...I'm still working on it ;)

7:55 pm

Pinikula

I think

7:56 pm

MollyL

Cos, if you are still around, I'm sending a "Mom like" hug to your young boy self. I'm sorry that being honest about who you are cost you so much.

7:58 pm

herinfernallady

Molly I agree. I have a g.f that has a g.f but they have a very not ''normal'' relationship

7:59 pm

weiik

Hey, how can blog not be a word yet?? Hasn't that been used quite awhile?

8:00 pm

Pinikula

apparently not enough yet, weiik

8:01 pm

Magyk

my opinion is that everyone deserves to happy...not matter who they are with.

8:01 pm

herinfernallady

Exactly.

8:02 pm

Nef

hi again. I think that there are so many people out there that are afraid of anything different that they become hatemngers of others not exactly like themselves.

8:02 pm

herinfernallady

O wow. Once again English publishers are in the dark ages

8:03 pm

alembick

blog isn't a word, but a word Sara Palin made up (by ignorance) made it into the OED this year . . . something is wrong

maybe we should petition the dictionary gods here, if sarah can get in

8:04 pm

weiik

dcsean ... you out there???

8:05 pm

MPittore

I am reminded...let he without sin cast the first stone....a whole lot of people are so eager to chastise others for what ever reasons they make up...isn't there only one that can judge us????

8:05 pm

alembick

oops my ignorance, misspelled "Sarah"

8:05 pm

herinfernallady

Did you know that the JK Rowlings publishers told Jo to publish as a male to keep male readers

8:05 pm

alembick

ABC Newsâ€™ Mary Bruce reports:

Sarah Palin has officially changed the modern lexicon, one tweet at a time. While one might expect the New Oxford American Dictionary to refudiate the former Alaska governorâ€™s favorite verb, today they embraced it, announcing â€œrefudiateâ€ as the official 2010 word of the year.

8:06 pm

MPittore

well I can't refudiate that!!!!

8:06 pm

alembick

8:07 pm

I love a good love story. I don't care who the players are.

11:12 pm

PAV3

it's lunchtime somewhere dfm...

11:13 pm

dfmchfhf

yeah, but I doubt "It's nine o'clock somewhere..." isn't an excuse that would work if I turn up for work after noon... or later... again...

11:14 pm

PAV3

11:22 pm

11:36 pm

dfmchfhf

11:37 pm

dfmchfhf

"a beet" = definition
"mutilated" = meaning of a word that sounds similar

11:38 pm
