Haz1558

From a distance your icon looks like a distinguished gent wearing shades, BabbleRabble. The close up is less flattering! Good morning/evening all.

3:47 am

o-o

Hello, Haz.

3:49 am

Haz1558

Hello. This is getting to be the quiet time in the chat log.

3:50 am

Sally-catlover

Good morning Haz :-)

3:50 am

Soodle

Hi Sami, Diz, Haz, and BabbleRabble. My icon today is the two feet of snow we are currently experiencing.

3:50 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Sally and Soodle. We are not alone.

3:50 am

Sally-catlover

I see BabbleRabble is feeling cheerful!

3:51 am

Haz1558

That's a lot of snow, Soodle. Hopefully your own feet aren't that cold?

3:52 am

Sally-catlover

Obviously this grid will be a doddle, already have two greyed squares, top left and top right :-))

3:52 am

Soodle

Nice and snug indoors, Haz. But the roads are very very dangerous. My little car is iced in!

3:52 am

dizgrannie

2 foot of snow....cannot imagine it!!, but I know you guys/gals get it.

3:52 am

Haz1558

I'll find it hard to match your pace, Sally.

3:53 am

FMitch

Morning all
Have been burried in the grid and then doing emails.

3:53 am

Sally-catlover

:-)

3:53 am

dizgrannie

I love snow, but only to go an visit.

3:53 am

Haz1558

We haven't had as much as that, Soodle, but more is forecast to fall this afternoon. I'd like to see green grass again, please.

3:53 am

Haz1558

Hello, FM.

3:54 am

Soodle

Agreed, Haz. I feel like I'm living a black and white movie.....everything is monochrome.

3:54 am

FMitch

Hi Haz.

3:54 am

Sally-catlover

Hallo FM. We have a hoar frost today, very beautiful but minus 7 when I went out to chickens.

3:55 am

dizgrannie

Haz, plenty of green grass here, the Lawn is over grown and we have had rain these past 6 days...so much for an Aussie summer...LOL

3:55 am

FMitch

Blimey! but that must have been beautiful.

3:55 am

lynxxx

Hello everyone.

3:55 am

Haz1558

Hello, lynxxx.

3:56 am

FMitch

Evening lynxxx

3:56 am

Soodle

Hi Lynn, FM and Sally :-)

3:56 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, it is spectacular, all the trees look so (checks grid anxiously) eerie.

3:56 am

FMitch

lol

3:57 am

lynxxx

Here we have a chorus of crickets (not the locusts yet) singing after a very warm day

3:57 am

dizgrannie

hey Lynnxx, what is weather like in your area?, rain everyday here.

3:58 am

FMitch

I think my brain is just not tuned into the grid this last week, every word has had to be forced out.

3:58 am

FMitch

although somehow I did stumble over the 10 today, go figure!

3:59 am

Haz1558

All babblers would wish to em7 you on that find!

3:59 am

lynxxx

Been hottish (low 30s) with daily downpours for the last few days - know what you mean about long grass! You are not in the flooding parts DizG?

4:00 am

Sally-catlover

ty Haz!

4:00 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Sally.

4:00 am

Hi everyone!

4:05 am

Soodle

Hi Brookie :-)

4:05 am

Haz1558

Hello, Brookie.

4:05 am

Brookie

Hi soodle, hi haz!

4:05 am

lynxxx

hiya Brookie

4:06 am

Brookie

Hi lynxxx!

4:06 am

Brookie

Okay, so I gotta vent. I was dumped by my b.f. last night.

4:06 am

FMitch

Hey Brookie
Anymore public speaking planned?

4:06 am

Sally-catlover

Back from phone. Oh that's rough Brookie.

4:07 am

lynxxx

hmmpphh - who needed him anyway!

4:07 am

Brookie

Just normal speeches in my Toastmsters club for awhile. The next contest isn't till the spring. Hi sally, and thanks.

4:07 am

Brookie

I sensed something was wrong for the last couple weeks and finally asked him about it.

4:08 am

FMitch

((Brookie))

4:08 am

Sally-catlover

Just remember men are like buses, there'll be another along soon.

4:08 am

dizgrannie

No lynxx not in the flooding parts, have friends that are but things are good for them. They are totally stocked up if need be.

4:08 am

Soodle

Sorry to hear that, Brookie. His loss.....

4:08 am

Brookie

That's true. It's just that I had finally found someone who was kid-friendly and whom my parents liked.

4:09 am

Brookie

He's clearly too picky.

4:09 am

Sally-catlover

Well when I was younger and dating, it was always a bad sign if my parents liked them :-)

4:09 am

lynxxx

good one Sally

4:09 am

Soodle

Were you with him long, Brookie?

4:10 am

Brookie

LOL, Sally. Unfortunately, my parents are normally right about these things. I was with him for just 5 months, but he seemed like a keeper.

4:11 am

Soodle

Well, he sure won't find another Brookie. Like I said....His loss!

4:11 am

FMitch

I've given up on the dating game. Decided that solo works for me but I am a lot older than you Brrokie so don't give up.

4:12 am

Brookie

I think I'm also upset (and sorry to keep going on about this) because I had taken a vacation day today to celebrate his birthday. If he knew he was going to end it, he could have spared me the vacation day.

4:12 am

Brookie

Okay, I'll stop talking about this now. I appreciate everyone's support, though. It means a lot!

4:14 am

FMitch

*passes candy and chocolate and champagne to Brookie so she can enjoy the day anyway*

4:14 am

Sally-catlover

Good idea FM. Yes, have a really good "me" day Brookie.

4:14 am

FMitch

Oh and a blankie and some tissues too :)

4:15 am

Brookie

Thanks FM! Hey, it's a good thing I lost 15 lbs in that weight-loss challenge... now I'll be extra enticing to my new suitors!

4:15 am

FMitch

LOL you sure will girl!

4:15 am

Sally-catlover

And something scented and some nice candles for that long luxurious bath.

4:15 am

Soodle

At the risk of being rude, I have always found that the best way to get over one man, is to get under another one!

4:15 am

Brookie

You guys are really nice.

4:16 am

Brookie

Not rude at all, soodle. Very true.

4:16 am

Sally-catlover

lol soodle!

4:16 am

FMitch

*giggle*

4:17 am

Brookie

(Feeling much better.)

4:19 am

Brookie

Phantom: skull. As in, my ex has a thick skull.

4:20 am

FMitch

lol had forgotten to look for words.
But I had better get on with some work for now. Happy Babbling !

4:21 am

Brookie

ttyl, FM!

4:21 am

Haz1558

Bye, FM. I'm off as well.

4:21 am

Sally-catlover

MollyL

(((Brooke)))) Boys are dopey.

4:33 am

Brookie

Thanks, Molly. He seemed so level-headed, too.

4:33 am

Brookie

Obviously, I was mistaken.

4:34 am

Sally-catlover

Brookie, men are only for Christmas, but Babblers are for life.

4:35 am

Brookie

Awww....

4:35 am

MollyL

Brooke, I suggest that you spend the day you took off for him, doing something very nice for YOU.

4:35 am

herinfernallady

HI. I just read back sorry Bookie

4:37 am

Brookie

Thanks, herin. I will spend part of the day sleeping, as I've been up since 2:30 a.m. Plus, my eHarmony subscription hasn't expired yet (though it had been inactive for several months), so I'll conjure up some new interest.

4:37 am

Sally-catlover

Well think about it Brookie. Where else would there be someone to chat to 24/7, chocolate on demand with not a thought of your weight, jokes and hugs available at all times depending on your need? Would you get that in a mere man?

4:38 am

herinfernallady

I have some excellent news that will cheer you up.

4:38 am

Brookie

Very good point, Sally! Plus, no one is more internationally minded and culturally diverse as Babble!

4:38 am

Brookie

What is it, herin?

4:39 am

Soodle

How right you are, Sally. I never thought of it like that, but you are 100% right.

4:39 am

herinfernallady

OK no squeeling. I have a job.

4:39 am

Brookie

Squeal!!!!!! Tell us about it!

4:39 am

Soodle

Yabba dabba doo, Herin!!!

4:39 am

Sally-catlover

Oh herin! (very quiet squeal). What is the job?

4:40 am

MollyL

Yay Herin!!

4:40 am

herinfernallady

Same as what I ahve been studying. Legal Sec Trainee job

4:42 am

TheLegend

ME 10/98. Jenny

4:43 am

Brookie

Oooh, I haven't been paying attention to the grid. Oh, there is a 10! Sorry, can't help you on this one!

4:44 am

Soodle

<------- Multi-tasking!

4:45 am

Brookie

Soodle, you are so funny! I'm not the typical female in that say... I stink at multitasking! It's amazing if I can get through my day AND feed my children at the same time!

4:45 am

herinfernallady

Thanks everone. I have to before my PC over cooks

4:46 am

herinfernallady

I have a game running in the back ground.

4:46 am

Soodle

When I say multi-tasking, I mean, keeping one eye on the grid, and one eye on the chog. It certainly has nothing do to with housework or feeding kids....

4:46 am

Brookie

It was nice hearing from you!

4:47 am

Brookie

I know what you meant. I was just joking.

4:47 am

herinfernallady

Just take care. I have a very heavy game running in the back ground and it is making my pc very very warm

4:47 am

Soodle

:-)

4:49 am

TheLegend

this grid is tougher than it looks

4:50 am

Brookie

Yes it is. It's especially hard at 5:50 a.m. EST.

4:50 am

TheLegend

i just yawned so hard it hurt my jaw

4:51 am

Brookie

LOL!

4:51 am

Sally-catlover

It is not flowing. Listing already, and the AL words are mostly weird.

4:52 am

TheLegend

i have 78 and stuck....unusual for me

4:52 am

Brookie

You're 10 ahead of me, legend, which is even more impressive considering your sore jaw.

4:53 am

Jivingjenny0

why does my mind go completely blank when given stats like me10/98? I can't even think of a 10 lettered word beginning with me - please could I have a clue?

4:53 am

TheLegend

smile....i thnk i will live...its just a flesh wound..:)

4:53 am

Sally-catlover

sorry jenny don't have it yet.

4:54 am

smaandmea

Nor do I have the 10 = third letter anyone?

4:55 am

Soodle

It feeds off the ME 7/40, which is a bit of the brain. ME, opposite of bright, and vowel....

4:55 am

FMitch

The me 10 builds from a 7 and 8 but I can't work out a decent clue yet.

4:56 am

Soodle

I hope you got the ME 7..... if so, stick one of the Kennedy brothers at the end of it for the 10.

4:56 am

Brookie

Awesome clues, soodle!

4:56 am

Sally-catlover

ty for the me7 soodle.

4:57 am

FMitch

wtg Soodle

4:57 am

Sally-catlover

and for the 10!

4:57 am

lynxxx

me10...the end sort of rhymes with how a snake or a belly dancer moved - un...etc

4:57 am

Soodle

YW. :-)

4:57 am

FMitch

oh good one lynxxx!

4:58 am

Jivingjenny0

managed 3 with that clue soodle, thanx

4:58 am

Sally-catlover

phone

4:58 am

ChampFit

SOODLE! Just got on and my first 3 words are the 7,8,10 thanks to you!

4:58 am

Soodle

Just pop the cheque in the post, Champ....LOL

4:59 am

Brookie

Yeah, Champ, I already owe soodle some $$ too.

4:59 am

ChampFit

No problem...feel ike quitting while I'm ahead here!

4:59 am

Soodle

"Soodlebum Ireland" should get to me.....

4:59 am

ChampFit

Sure...it's a small country...everyone must know you! ;)

5:00 am

Brookie

Babble is apparently some money-making scheme for Soodle. It's a good thing we all like her.

5:00 am

ChampFit

How 'bout "World Famous Soodlebum Ireland"? Perfect!

5:00 am

Soodle

The queen is in the counting house, counting our her money......

5:03 am

smaandmea

and thanks from me

5:04 am

Brookie

Okay, so I've now returned to eHarmony after a long hiatus. I reactivated my membership a FULL 3 hours ago... and I'm still not seeing results! Shouldn't all American men be up at 3 a.m. just waiting to hear from me? Hmmmph!

5:05 am

MollyL

Oh...I guess I needed to use my "brain" to get the 7, 8 and 10. Thanks for the clues.

5:06 am

Soodle

Clearly they are all getting their beauty sleep, Brookie. And stocking up on their energy levels, for what lies in store for them.

5:06 am

FMitch

Patience child, don't forget you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your Prince.

5:07 am

MollyL

A wise person once told me that you usually find what you're looking for when you stop looking.

5:08 am

Sally-catlover

I found my second husband at a bus stop. As I said, there is always another bus!

5:08 am

Brookie

All very good advice, and I've heard that too. It's strange, but I tend to meet people when I'm in a receptive mode.

5:08 am

Brookie

That's a sweet story, sally!

5:08 am

Soodle

LOL Sally. You make him sound like a lost umbrella!

5:08 am

FMitch

Where did you lose your first one, you careless person! :)

5:09 am

Sally-catlover

My car had broken down and he offered me a lift. I thought (as I frequently tell him) that he looked old and harmless. I would normally NEVER take a lift with a stranger!

5:09 am

Brookie

Your car breaking down was a good thing, then!

5:09 am

Sally-catlover

I left the first one in the left luggage. As far as I know he is still there and unclaimed :-)

5:10 am

lynxxx

sure Sally, sure

5:11 am

FMitch

I divorced my first one and then fell in love with the bulder that was doing wok on my apartment.

5:11 am

TheLegend

i was up at 5 waiting to hear from you brookie..:)

5:11 am

Sally-catlover

Chinese builder FM?

5:12 am

Brookie

Well then, legend, you're a very smart man. :-)

5:12 am

FMitch

hah hah

5:12 am

Soodle

ROFL Sally

5:12 am

TheLegend

and im debating eharmony here

5:12 am

lynxxx

Clever FM - a tradie!

5:12 am

Brookie

Don't debate eharmony. It can't talk back to you.

5:13 am

Brookie

Have you tried eHarmony before?

5:13 am

Sally-catlover

Is eHarmony an online dating agency? Should we just cut out the middle man and put Brookie in touch with TheLegend?

5:13 am

FMitch

B was a great craftsman.

5:13 am

TheLegend

lol...nice comeback brookie

5:13 am

TheLegend

and no...ive not done eharmony

5:14 am

Soodle

Legend - meet Brookie. Brookie - meet The Legend. Now you both have been introduced. Its up to you from here....

5:14 am

Sally-catlover

mmm, checks profiles. Ages are about right.

5:14 am

TheLegend

thanks soodle

5:14 am

Brookie

Thanks, soodle. I'll send you some more $$.

5:14 am

Sally-catlover

Are you good with children, Legend?

5:15 am

FMitch

*wishes that Lgend would change his icon - a guy in a vest is so not good*

5:15 am

TheLegend

dont have any of my own...but im the fave uncle to 8 nieces and nephews

5:15 am

Brookie

Very good answer, legend.

5:16 am

Sally-catlover

Wouldn't this be fun if it really happened? Has there ever been a Babble romance?

5:16 am

TheLegend

:)

5:16 am

Soodle

Just had a look at The Legend's pic. Notwithstanding the vest, is elbowing Brookie out of the way.....

5:16 am

Sally-catlover

lol soodle.

5:16 am

TheLegend

lol

5:16 am

Brookie

Pushing soodle to the back..

5:16 am

lynxxx

There has been one

5:16 am

Soodle

Handbags at dawn............

5:17 am

FMitch

Yes there was a few years ago Sally and UK one and a US one

5:17 am

FMitch

but neither worked out.

5:18 am

Sally-catlover

Oh sad.

5:18 am

Brookie

Okay, so I'll put myself out there. If you check out the link on my profile, the YouTube video has my full name. If you're not scared away from the video, track me down. I'm easily Google-able.

5:19 am

TheLegend

im going to do just that..:)

5:19 am

Sally-catlover

Bravo Brookie!!

5:20 am

Brookie

Oh, and I purposely look frumpy in the video due to the topic of my speech. So don't hold that against me. :-)

5:20 am

Sally-catlover

*Wipes away a sentimental te4*

5:20 am

Soodle

Oh my! I wonder are we witnessing the beginning of something wonderful....

5:20 am

Sally-catlover

Sitting here grinning like a Cheshire cat.

5:20 am

FMitch

well we have had some babble weddings and quite a few babble babies.

5:20 am

Sally-catlover

Ssshh, let's tiptoe off and leave them to it.

5:20 am

Brookie

My fellow Babblers make me smile.

5:21 am

Soodle

Are babble babies called Bablets?

5:21 am

Sally-catlover

lol soodle.

5:21 am

FMitch

lol

5:22 am

Brookie

They'd be babble boomers.

5:22 am

FMitch

Does this mean I need to build a chreche in the PB?

5:22 am

ChampFit

BaBabes! BBL...going out for a bit...thanks again for the great start Soodle!

5:22 am

Soodle

Bye Champ. Have a good day!

5:22 am

TheLegend

im joining toastmasters..:)

5:23 am

Brookie

Bye champ!

5:23 am

lynxxx

bye Champ

5:23 am

Soodle

Drumming fingers on keyboard waiting for the return of The Legend.....

5:23 am

FMitch

Isn't she great Legend!

5:23 am

Sally-catlover

Well if nothing else this has cheered up you two (and the rest of us).

5:24 am

Brookie

Toastmasters is really cool. You can talk about anything you want, and people have to listen.

5:24 am

Soodle

Herin got a job, and sparks are flying with Brookie & The Legend. This is a GOOD day!

5:24 am

FMitch

I'm Brookie's unofficial cheerleader!

5:25 am

Brookie

AND I still have vacation today!

5:25 am

FMitch

Soodle if you haven't seen Brookie's 'talk' you are missing a great laugh.

5:27 am

Soodle

Oh I watched a couple of weeks ago, FM. Absolutely brilliant.

5:27 am

FMitch

:)

5:28 am

Brookie

Thanks so much!

5:29 am

Soodle

Frankly, I'm a tad peeved. The Legend is going to fall for her, now, and not give a thought to poor old Soodle, languishing away. Bah. Foiled again.

5:29 am

Sally-catlover

I think she's nearer than you are soodle :-)

5:29 am

TheLegend

what a hoot! Brava, Brookie!!

5:30 am

Sally-catlover

Although, my knowledge of US geography being what it is, that might not actually be true :-(

5:30 am

Brookie

Thank you so much!

5:30 am

Soodle

How close, geographically, are you two?

5:31 am

Brookie

Actually, I just googled myself, and there are more Brooke Grubb's than I thought. My email is delawarebrookie@gmail.com. Only if you want to say, hi.

5:31 am

Brookie

I guess we're a few hours away, driving.

5:32 am

Sally-catlover

Hey, just a friendship is good, if nothing else. Don't knock it.

5:32 am

Brookie

If you don't want to email me, I'm sure soodle would be happy to fly out to meet you.

5:33 am

TheLegend

im dropping you an email right now..:)

5:33 am

TheLegend

did you do a Paperless sketch?

5:33 am

Brookie

:-)

5:33 am

Soodle

Mustering as much dignity as I can manage.... I concede defeat!

5:34 am

Brookie

Yes, I did that too. My coworker and I put that together in a rush. Purposely corny.

5:34 am

TheLegend

my name is Chris, btw.....

5:34 am

FMitch

and very gracefully done Soodle.

5:34 am

TheLegend

but you can call me Sir

5:34 am

TheLegend

lol

5:34 am

Brookie

How about Sir Legend?

5:35 am

Brookie

Soodle can take consolation in all the money she gets from her fellow babblers.

5:35 am

TheLegend

that works..:)

5:35 am

Sally-catlover

Hands up all those in the chog who are grinning all over their faces right now.

5:35 am

Soodle

Me!!!

5:36 am

FMitch

nah.

5:36 am

Sally-catlover

Spoilsport FM.

5:36 am

FMitch

Sorry but I will get my hat out if there is a wedding.

5:37 am

Brookie

Replying to email right now...

5:37 am

TheLegend

:)

5:37 am

Sally-catlover

Thought that was being saved for the Bill'nKatie one.

5:37 am

FMitch

I'm just too jaded with relationships

5:38 am

TheLegend

tiger blew a 5 stroke lead....and lost....cant say i feel all that sorry for him

5:38 am

FMitch

personally that is - not on babble or anywhere else.

5:40 am

Soodle

Fireworks here! Chris & Brookie.... if anything develops from this......Me and Sally & FM MUST be kept in the picture. I am feeling like a benign maiden aunt in the presence of all this romance!

5:40 am

Sally-catlover

Sprite will be pleased that there are 5 K words :-)

5:41 am

Brookie

Again, I completely forgot about the grid. No comments about multitasking, soodle! I was too busy sending an email!

5:41 am

FMitch

Congrats Soodle!

5:41 am

lynxxx

congrats Soodle

5:41 am

Brookie

And congrats, soodle!

5:41 am

Soodle

Thanks all. Anybody need a soodle-clue before I go?

5:42 am

Sally-catlover

Congrats soodle. Eek! Still have 76 to find here.

5:42 am

FMitch

not for me thanks, am done.

5:42 am

Brookie

Yeah, just some quick clues for the 117 words I have left. And you get to guess which ones I'm missing. :-)

5:42 am

lynxxx

congrats too FM

5:42 am

Sally-catlover

Not for me thanks, just plodding through.

5:43 am

Soodle

I'll be off, so. Have a great day everybody, and thanks for chat. Poof

5:43 am

FMitch

Toodles Soodle :)

5:43 am

Brookie

Belated congrats to FM, and bye soodle!

5:46 am

lynxxx

yawning too much here...goodnight all

5:46 am

Sally-catlover

Goodnight lynxxx

5:46 am

FMitch

... time for lunch. and good night lynxxx.

5:47 am

TheLegend

5:47 am

Sally-catlover

Enjoy, FM.

5:57 am

Scrabbler

Any news from LizSark about her dog, Oscar?

5:58 am

Sally-catlover

Not that I've noticed in the chog, Scrabbler.

5:58 am

Scrabbler

TY, Sally.

5:58 am

Sally-catlover

But I haven't seen her in the chog for ages, we must be on at different times.

6:00 am

Scrabbler

I am laughing because a mistyped word turned out to be a real word. I love when that happens.

6:01 am

Sally-catlover

Yup :-) Also when you try a made-up word at random and it works.

6:04 am

Brookie

Gotta go now and get ready for work. Have a great day, everyone!

6:05 am

Sally-catlover

Bye Brookie. You too!

6:05 am

Scrabbler

Bye Brooke

6:06 am

Brookie

Hi and bye, Scrabbler!

6:07 am

not quite good morning; it'w after lunch, but hello

6:16 am

Sally-catlover

hi ruby!

6:16 am

rubyfoo

it's raining and the nastiest (slipperiest|) parts of the snow and ice are goen, but it's still pretty white out there

6:16 am

rubyfoo

I only fell once!

6:17 am

Sally-catlover

Be careful there ruby. Was minus 7 when I went out to do chickens this morning and is still below freezing.

6:23 am

rubyfoo

I wish I could go to work; retirement isn't all it's cracked up to be!

6:24 am

Sally-catlover

Things must be bad if you wish that! Aren't you glad you don't have to turn out looking smart in weather like this though?

6:24 am

crosshair

good morning..well all my appts are canceled today. snow up to my ying-yang and blowing and drifting road conditions with poor-nil visability...soooo i must stay home and babble;)))))

Sally-catlover

sorry crossy, phone rang. Wasn't ignoring you.

6:34 am

Trifioso

crossy, I am not really here, but I am glad to see you. Please check out my icon, which I swear to the heavens, I found on my computer, after secondo was messing with it. Did you call her or something?

6:34 am

crosshair

awww..we get to stay home,byt we live within walking distance of the school and it is open today:))) my boy has the longest face at this moment;))))

6:34 am

crosshair

looking trif...

6:34 am

crosshair

LOL!!

6:35 am

rubyfoo

hello ttrif, how are you doing?

6:35 am

rubyfoo

Crossy, make some snow ice cream for when he comes home from school

6:35 am

rubyfoo

maple syrup

6:36 am

Trifioso

really crappy ruby. really. depressed, and not dealing well with some recent revelations that I am just not ready to discuss. it's why I haven't chogged lately

6:36 am

Sally-catlover

{{{hugs}}} anyway Trif.

6:37 am

crosshair

((trif))

6:38 am

Trifioso

dammit. knew I shouldn't have chogged....crying. dammit

6:38 am

rubyfoo

trif, I can understand as this is a crappy time for me, too. If yo would like to "talk" privately, my e-mail is" nelliekelley50@yayhoo.com and I am always here

6:38 am

crosshair

and those bacon cheerleaders rock!

6:38 am

rubyfoo

I know what you mean....I'm on the verge, too

6:38 am

rubyfoo

I think it's better to cry.....

6:39 am

Sally-catlover

{{{ruby}}}

6:39 am

Sally-catlover

wanna hug, crossy?

6:39 am

crosshair

"crossy stands ready to offer bear hugs as needed...

6:40 am

rubyfoo

I was so angry with husband yesterday, that I finally said something. Very rare for me. I was right, but he got angry

6:40 am

Sally-catlover

I'm glad you said something, ruby. Better to get it out than bottle it up sometimes.

6:41 am

crosshair

my wife holds nothing back,she is a firm believer in instant karma i think....:/

6:41 am

rubyfoo

he put cinders where he had to walk, and ignored my path. I trusted that they were there and, of course, fell. He said it was because I am clumsy!

6:41 am

rubyfoo

I am poor at expressing anger

6:41 am

Sally-catlover

Husband and I very rarely get angry with each other. Occasionally a bit ratty, but not more.

6:41 am

crosshair

you should take some lessons from my elegant!

6:42 am

rubyfoo

he gets very nasty when he's wrong

6:43 am

rubyfoo

and he should take some smacking around from our crossy!!!!

6:44 am

Trifioso

my ex husband is now touring ireland (where he is from) with his male roommate, whom he repeatedly looked me in the eye and said he was "just friends" with. It's a lie. He told the children the other night that he and the roomate are actually lovers, and then sent them home to tell me. so, there you go.

6:44 am

rubyfoo

eew! he sounds like a real sh** head

6:44 am

Sally-catlover

Oh Trif! No wonder you are having problems. I would find that so hard to deal with.

6:45 am

Trifioso

so basically, my children had to be the ones to tell me that my whole life has been a lie.

6:45 am

rubyfoo

that is so horrible, trif, your reaction is not inappropriate!

6:45 am

Trifioso

and please understand me - I am not upset that he is gay, per se. there is nothing - absolutely NOTHING - wrong with being homosexual. I have HUGE problems with liars and cowards, however. huge.

6:46 am

rubyfoo

and your husband probably feels good that he has been honest! what a louse

6:46 am

Sally-catlover

Not your whole life, Trif. Sometimes people do change in this way I believe. They deny things to themselves until they think it might be too late otherwise. Remember you have some great kids from the relationship.

6:46 am

Trifioso

now I wish I hadn't said anything. It was a weak moment, forgive me.

6:47 am

Sally-catlover

No, I'm glad you did. It is the beginning of moving on. I feel for your kids too! They have to deal with this. Now if you like we will change the subject.

6:47 am

crosshair

you know that you can vent here anytime about anything

6:47 am

MollyL

Trif, loving someone is never a lie. ((((Trif))))

6:48 am

rubyfoo

we are here for you trif; we all go through these bad moments and this group is very supportive! NEVER regret what your tell us. We are ultimately sympathetic and understanding.

6:48 am

Trifioso

I just can't stand that he lied to me. over and over. and that he used the kids like that. Rule #1 of getting divorced is don't use the kids as messengers, and it's all he ever does. it's gross.

6:48 am

rubyfoo

My husband is very jealous of this support system, but too bad for him!

6:49 am

Sally-catlover

I agree with you there. One thing from my own experience is that the kids will work this out for themselves, you don't have to play that game.

6:49 am

MollyL

It's unfair to use the kids that way. I'm sorry to hear that's happening. I know it must be difficult for you Trif.

6:49 am

kittychan

I have known many gay men who were once married. It strikes me as so, impossible, hurtful? because I know that there are the women who tried so hard to be what he wanted and they never knew that it wasn't possible. All those years of effort....

6:49 am

Sally-catlover

Your husband is jealous of Babble ruby? How strange.

6:50 am

rubyfoo

I just shouldn't talk about it, but it is important as a supportive part of my life. He is very isolated

6:50 am

Kaplan the Magne

I know several women that this has happened to and the sense of betrayal is horrendous.

6:50 am

rubyfoo

hello kitty

6:50 am

kittychan

hello

6:51 am

rubyfoo

it is a horrible betrayal

6:51 am

Sally-catlover

I talk about Babble and what goes on to my husband, and about another group I belong to. I'm sure he isn't jealous, but it is no part of his life.

6:51 am

Sally-catlover

Like your icon kitty :-)

6:51 am

crosshair

not so strange sally...mins hubby loathes babble and her friends on here..i am lucky that my lady shares my love of babble

6:51 am

kittychan

thank you, Sally

6:52 am

Jayk

That happened to me too. I only found out after I left him.

6:52 am

Trifioso

I think that is what gets me, kitty. Why couldn't he just be honest? This whole divorce he has been so acrimonious, with him blaming me for everything under the sun. why not just be honest? He would have found me the most helpful ally. But here I argue with reality. In order for him to have made healthy, appropriate choices, he would have to be healthy. and he is not. Waaaay outside of the orientation piece. He just is not capable of that kind of higher emotional function. So i argue with reality, and wish things were different. waste of time.

6:52 am

rubyfoo

when he is feeling cross, he throws up what I'[ve told him about my friends on here

6:52 am

Sally-catlover

Tony doesn't loathe Babble, he just wouldn't play it or be involved in an online world I think.

6:53 am

Trifioso

but it is painful to think of them together, driving around Ireland, visiting with all the people I loved there. this is interesting, though -- he did NOT stay with his brother, but called him on the phone - from Ireland - to tell him what was going on. Weird. They might see each other today, but I am not sure.

6:53 am

Sally-catlover

I find this so strange ruby.

6:53 am

kittychan

I'm sorry Tri - there is a whole world of wasted time and effort behind that 30 second story of your life. Here's to better things to come *raises glass*

6:53 am

Trifioso

((((((((((((jayk))))))))))))))))))))

6:53 am

Trifioso

thank you kitty

6:54 am

Jayk

It completely sucks. Plus, I felt exceedingly stupid

6:54 am

rubyfoo

I think, in the end, many men are hard to fathom. I think they repress their true feelings very early on, probably from bad mothers.

6:54 am

Sally-catlover

Yeah, raises glass to Trif! At least now you know that it was NOT your fault or anything you did, if you ever doubted it, he was just trying to make you take the blame.

6:54 am

crosshair

i see so many of my friends become total idiots like that when the marriage fails(we are the last ones married from our original group of friends) and pray that if that ever befell me,i could handle things better and definatly not use lids as weapons..i am so sorry trif

6:55 am

crosshair

kids

6:55 am

crosshair

damn typos

6:55 am

rubyfoo

raising glass to trif; we all care about you and are here....

6:55 am

Trifioso

thank you all. I am just really sad. I am a little surprised at how depressed I have been.

6:55 am

Trifioso

I think I just need to feel it.

6:55 am

kittychan

That is perfectly normal.

6:56 am

Sally-catlover

I would be surprised if you weren't depressed.

6:56 am

kittychan

You'd be weird if you weren't.

I don't think time of year is helpfult. As Dostroievsky said "All happy families are alike but unhappy families are unhappy in their own ways!"

6:58 am

Trifioso

but, in so many ways, I resent being sad about this. I have cried too many tears over that liar, and don't want to waste one more minute on his sorry hide. but really, I am stuck with him, as a co-parent for the next 60 years. how do you co-parent with someone when you can't believe a word that comes out of their mouth?

6:58 am

Kaplan the Magne

It was Tolstoy, Ruby. Anna Karenina.

6:58 am

kittychan

When the kids are out of college the game will change a lot.

6:58 am

Trifioso

and I have legitimate questions that he refuses to discuss. how long has it been going on? did he jeopardize my health at any time? is he happier now?

6:58 am

MollyL

Trif, this is just like any other loss. You need to mourn it, and grieve it and then put it to rest. Then you can move on with your life. And you will do that. First you survive, then you thrive.

6:59 am

Trifioso

thank you molly.

6:59 am

Sally-catlover

Good advice Molly

6:59 am

rubyfoo

amen, molly-the-wise

6:59 am

Sally-catlover

I would suggest you get a check-up though Trif.

6:59 am

Kaplan the Magne

yes.

7:00 am

Sally-catlover

How are the children taking it?

7:00 am

crosshair

get a check up molly,live a good life,be there for your kids and hold to your standards and beliefs that is all you can do,you cannot change this man nor should you give yourself one more second of anguish by trying

7:00 am

Trifioso

sigh. I suppose you are right. of course, since the jerkface didn't give me health insurance, it will cost me....I suppose I don't have to be embarrassed in front of the doctor. I am sure he has heard it all before

7:01 am

crosshair

sorry,just my male musings

7:01 am

crosshair

no need to worry bout what the doc thinks,go to a clinic tell him your health concerns and get a check up

7:01 am

Sally-catlover

You can't get that sort of check-up free? We have specialist clincs here.

7:02 am

MollyL

Okay Cross, I'll get a check up. But I think you were posting to Trif. : P

7:02 am

Trifioso

actually, sally, the children made me really proud of how I raised them. They have no inherent issue with him being gay, and werent' embarrassed or anything. they just found it hilarious. Tertiare made me smile...she said "it's worse than you thing mom. Dad SMOKES!" And she's right. that is worse

7:02 am

rubyfoo

have to go. Take care of yourself, trif, and the offer still stand of a shoulder if needed!

7:02 am

kittychan

Careful - if you're on the verge of getting insurance privately you don't want to establish a pre-existing condition.

7:02 am

Trifioso

and the sardonic part of me smiled to myself and thought Excellent, puff away, I am still the beneficiary on your life insurance policy.

7:02 am

Sally-catlover

rofl Trif. That keeps things in perspective!

7:03 am

crosshair

damn american health plan..keep forgetting

7:03 am

Boobear

7:03 am

Trifioso

I will have to go on public health, kitty. he left us in abject poverty, and I don't get insurance through work.

NonoNanette

we have only had a few fluries here

8:21 am

featherbee

it's funny. if we had this snow in march, they'd probably only do a delay. the first snowday of the year always feels like a freebie.

Hello! It's a white world outside.

9:23 am

NonoNanette

a question from Crossy, his kitty as been sneezing a lot, had runny eyes which have cleared but still sneezing a lot

9:23 am

sprite

snow or fog? Here it is fog, and ice on the streets.

9:23 am

NonoNanette

he says it is ok while sleeping, is breathing ok but when active it sneezes

9:23 am

mkg

maybe the kitty is allergic to cats! hahahaha.that is what happens to me when i get close to cats.

9:23 am

Haz1558

If it's had its cat flu vaccinations, then it's maybe some sort of allergy?

9:24 am

sprite

animals can be allergic as well

9:24 am

sprite

perhaps to humans, grinnnn

9:24 am

Haz1558

Lots of snow, sprite, and a heavy hoar frost which has left everything traced in white.

9:24 am

mkg

an + vowel and then the ***o?

9:24 am

NonoNanette

don't know about the vaccinations but allergies a possibility, could they come on all the sudden?

9:24 am

Haz1558

Or, maybe it has something up its nose that is annoying it and the sneezing is to try to dislodge it?

9:25 am

sprite

it is slightly kinder weather here then, Haz. Come over for tea.

9:25 am

mkg

i got the an word. but it is not a 8 or 9. i am so confused.

9:25 am

Haz1558

If the cat's been in contact with something unusual an allergy might kick in. But if it's eating and sleeping etc, probably will right itself eventually.

9:26 am

NonoNanette

that was my thought Haz, he says it is eating and drinking as normal

9:26 am

Haz1558

I wish I could, sprite!

9:27 am

mkg

any clues for the 9s? or the 10?

9:27 am

Terra sneezes and coughs when he is overexited. It settles as soon as he does.

Hi Ruby. I hope your Japanese maples are not wrecked. Those are beautiful trees.

12:39 pm

rubyfoo

they are in a beautiful spot but, unfortunately, when snow comes off the (steeply pitched) roof all at once, it breaks off branches. I'm afraid to go out and look

12:40 pm

EvaNadine

is there an 8 that is not related to the AD and EM groupings??

12:40 pm

rubyfoo

I made a little u-shaped Japanese garden in the driveway: the center is a tulip tree, then 3 little maples (2 red, one green), then azaleas, then juniper, then moss and rocks

12:40 pm

rubyfoo

it sounds fussy but is beautiful in spring

It worries me when Canadians are snow bound. I thought y'all were ready for anything snow-wise.

1:31 pm

dfmchfhf

yeah we are, but there are some things you just have to leave to Mother Nature...

1:32 pm

crosshair

we are usually ready,but are now over 3 feet with another 9 inches to come tonight

1:33 pm

crosshair

primary roads get the attention first..our parking lot sadly is not primary:(

1:34 pm

dfmchfhf

I remember a few years back the snow was falling so thickly that after clearing up the whole driveway with a snowblower, the driveway where we started already had a foot of accumulation... is it like that over there, crossy?

1:37 pm

crosshair

last i checked dfm,it was up to the doorhandles of the car...cleaned some away so it would not be to the roofline tomorrow

1:39 pm

crosshair

have some wind whipping it around into lovely peaks and drifts

1:39 pm

dfmchfhf

should've been clearing it while it was falling and manageably lighter. :oP

1:39 pm

MollyL

That is the kind of snow that gets me borderline clinically depressed. We had that last winter. I remember going outside and thinking that I had been transported to Siberia.

1:40 pm

*packs molly in a crate and sends her to Finland*

1:44 pm

dfmchfhf

Or out skiing.

1:44 pm

1:44 pm

1:45 pm

dfmchfhf

1:45 pm

crosshair

ahh one of the big cattaplillar machine with the big blower just went by:)

1:46 pm

dfmchfhf

did they blow all the snow onto your car and/or windows?

1:46 pm

dfmchfhf

1:46 pm

You should build an igloo in which to live. ;o)

1:48 pm

crosshair

lol dfm,you are a canuck as well,you know better than that...an igloo cannot support wifi:)

1:48 pm

trentsnana

Oh, okay - they look like they turned out good!

1:52 pm

dfmchfhf

just bring a couple hundred extension cables... a few power splitters... modem... 10x500m cat5e network cables... join then together and you can go anywhere!

1:53 pm

Kazzer99

what are white chocolate gingerbread blondies please - they sound naughty and good

1:54 pm

crosshair

shh dfm...coooookies.....

1:55 pm

dfmchfhf

I actually made a 200m-long cat6 cable o.0
it is HEAVY... but I run all over the house with it connected to my laptop... :o3
I usually forget to disentangle it though, so part of my Sundays is spent untying the line from walls, posts, tables, and the like...

1:55 pm

crosshair

lol@ 200m cat cable..ever hear of a wifi box and wireless nic card?

1:55 pm

dfmchfhf

(well actually it's closer to 170 metres... meh, close enough)

1:56 pm

crosshair

and i still use cat 5..or used to

1:56 pm

dfmchfhf

yep, sometimes go wireless too, but wired is faster.

1:56 pm

crosshair

now i use 802.11 n wireless

1:57 pm

dfmchfhf

when I'm on wireless I use that too :oP

1:58 pm

crosshair

it is off of cable,so fast enough for me

1:58 pm

crosshair

54mbps

2:00 pm

dfmchfhf

cable is still so much faster :oP

2:00 pm

crosshair

it is indeed;)

2:01 pm

crosshair

i got rid of phone line net 2 months ago

2:02 pm

dfmchfhf

I'm also connected to my computer and not my router via cable, and my computer doesn't have wireless. :oO

2:03 pm

crosshair

get one of those small wireless keys dfm,i got one for the wife...22 bucks,just plug into usb 2.0 port and yer done

2:03 pm

dfmchfhf

hard disk of laptop doesn't actually contain much, most files are stored on the computer and externs

2:04 pm

dfmchfhf

so that cable actually sees a LOT of volume.

2:05 pm

dfmchfhf

I should probably consider making/getting a shorter cable (probably 70m) so I don't need to run around the house disentangling everything, and it's lighter, and probably a bit faster. In theory.

2:05 pm

crosshair

soon they will have usb video cards lol,will no need to open up a computer anymore,to upgrade just jam a usb key in!:)

2:06 pm

crosshair

ger a wifi key like i told you and a wireless router all for under 70 dollars,forget hauling all that cable round

2:07 pm

crosshair

d-link makes good ones

2:08 pm

2:56 pm

stidmama

*hands out choclits to celebrate* I have NBT!!! going to go "read" ....

2:57 pm

stidmama

yes, winter break has begun for me. Which means I am frantically trying to get some order and cleanliness back into my home. Haven't actually had time to clean and neaten in over two years and it shows.

2:57 pm

Scrabbler

I have 2 blank tiles still. I'll work on those when I am home later.

2:57 pm

stidmama

also beginning to think about starting on the research for the official master's thingy.

2:58 pm

Scrabbler

Just do the basics of housecleaning. It gets dirty as soon as you finish cleaning anyway.

2:58 pm

stidmama

hence the reading -- which I gratefully am using the text to voice functions of my mac now.

2:59 pm

Scrabbler

Text-to-voice---very cool!

2:59 pm

stidmama

yes. that is my approach -- the basics. and making sure the piles of books and papers are small enough that when they fall over I can still crawl out from under. *wicked mama look*

2:59 pm

stidmama

I will be glad to be rid of researching for a while when I am done!

2:59 pm

Scrabbler

See you later, munchkins!

3:01 pm

stidmama

I am nearing the end of a master's program dfm - rather than a thesis this program has us do a "project" which in this case is a meta-analysis around a specific education-teaching related topic.

red, I had a bad day on 9/12/01 and still have little PTSD flashes every once in a while. Please at least seriously consider it

7:52 pm

herinfernallady

I think I would rather just have the bourbon alone. Seems like a waste of cognac

7:52 pm

Dorens

Dorens

7:54 pm

MollyL

Red, sad and tired are very valid feelings. Your energy gets drained from dealing with things like that. Sending positive, warm thoughts your way.

7:55 pm

redturtlehead

but after wednesday...I have a week off! so all will be relaxed.

7:55 pm

Dorens

i'm feeling drained too.. long day.. any last clues needed before i go try to figure out how to get fedex to send a prepaid label up to boston?

7:55 pm

8:13 pm

herinfernallady

Pa died last Wednesday. He was 86 married for over 60 years to Gran

8:14 pm

Nef

I'm sorry for your loss, herin.

8:17 pm

Minski

YUM herin. Can you put one of those in the pb please?

8:17 pm

Minski

I'm sorry about Pa but that cake sounds awesome!!!

8:18 pm

Minski

that didn't come out as serious as I intended it. Seriously, condolences.

8:18 pm

herinfernallady

HI Mins. Thanks too Nef. Apparently he was sick for a while

8:18 pm

Minski

ok. I'm done talking.

8:18 pm

herinfernallady

Not it is ok Mins. I need to smile at the moment

8:18 pm

Minski

8:19 pm

Nef

i bet he didn't tell anyone he was ill, right?

8:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

al6/30 pls?

8:20 pm

Minski

Still missing an 8. I have ad8x2, em8x2, me8. What am I missing?

8:20 pm

Pinikula

ad8 x 3

8:20 pm

MollyL

(((Herin))) I hope all goes as well as it can tomorrow.

8:21 pm

Minski

Is the 3rd ad8 related to the 1st 2?

8:21 pm

Minski

Is the 3rd ad8 related to the 1st 2?

8:21 pm

Pinikula

no

8:21 pm

Pinikula

it's a pl of the first ad7

8:21 pm

Minski

Then I am definitely missing the 1st ad7.

8:22 pm

Pinikula

ad7 = type of grland

8:22 pm

Minski

TOUCHDOWN PATRIOTS!!!!

8:22 pm

herinfernallady

Thanks Molly

8:23 pm

big red

Woo Hoo. Love the Pats!

8:23 pm

herinfernallady

I am trying to do the 5 thing and ignoring it

8:24 pm

Nef

herin, you've totally confused me now....

8:24 pm

Minski

would that garland be known to someone who doesn't decorate for Christmas?

8:24 pm

MollyL

You just take it as it comes Herin, and remember to hug the loved ones around you when you do.

8:24 pm

Minski

17-0

8:25 pm

herinfernallady

Molly if I hug anyone in his family I will tower over them

8:25 pm

MollyL

In that case, warm pats on the back work wonders.

8:26 pm

Nef

you can still hug them herin (just bend your knees to get closer to their size! )

8:26 pm

herinfernallady

Nef to ease your confusion. Pa was sick but by a twist of fates b.fs mum sent him a text about 8 weeks ago saying that the ''oldies were sick''. He didn't get the message and we were only informed 2 weeks ago. We were going to see him on Thursday but he died on the Wednesday.

8:27 pm

Minski

sorry, not getting the garland clue for the ad7/8 I am missing. could you dumb it down for me please?

8:27 pm

Nef

oh, no, herin! That is tough!

8:28 pm

herinfernallady

Well I figure that whatever reason we didn't know was a good one. I did have a crow or 3 hanging about. Maybe they were just watching out for me and making sure I got the best I could on the studies. And the B.f would not be upset for so long

8:28 pm

MollyL

ad + you use a r**er to measure + I *** too much at dinner. Then past tense.

8:29 pm

herinfernallady

Nef b.f gets on average 100 sms messages a day. he just doesn't have time to read them all

8:30 pm

Minski

I have that one Molly. I'm pretty sure I'm missing the 1st ad7/8 combo. the hint I was given had something to do with garlands that I didn't get.

8:30 pm

ch1212

Minski, my first ad7/8 has to do with glands.

8:30 pm

Nef

Do you have totem crows, herin? My FIL was part ojibwe indian and his totem was the crow

8:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

me10 pls? realted to the 8 & 9?

8:31 pm

Minski

that's the problem. I misread the word glands and thought you were saying garlands and I didn't get it. Now I do. Thanks Nef.

8:32 pm

Minski

Now the 8s, 9s, and 10 are greyed out.

8:32 pm

Minski

9:24 pm

herinfernallady

45c is closer to 113f

9:27 pm

Minski

yeah. it was hot in the desert there. 78 is a georgous summer day. but that is a ridiculous amount of rain. gather what harvest you can while you can.

9:28 pm

Minski

but dry heat isn't so bad. If it got to 113F here in Massachusetts with the humidity it would be ridiculous.

9:28 pm

herinfernallady

Thankfully I am not a farmer. The sad thing is the pricers go up in the stores and the farmers get squat. At least of the markets and such you know that it makes a difference

9:28 pm

Minski

yeah. I hear you. what time is it there?

9:30 pm

herinfernallady

stidmama

oh oh... not ready for bananas then. *replaces with pedialyte*

10:13 pm

Minski

11

10:13 pm

dfmchfhf

heh, herin, I do that so often... *falls asleep into soup*

10:13 pm

herinfernallady

bannas?

10:14 pm

stidmama

SO glad my "kids" are pretty much past those types of illnesses!

10:14 pm

TeaNCrackers

and she missed her archaeology field trip today because if it - oh the drama!

10:14 pm

dfmchfhf

aww, poor her... illness?

10:14 pm

herinfernallady

It is one of those days DF were the weather is right for a nap

10:14 pm

stidmama

that IS sad. Is it some place you can take her over the winter break?

10:14 pm

TeaNCrackers

no fever, so I have no idea

10:14 pm

stidmama

too hot, lady?

10:14 pm

TeaNCrackers

no one else got it, either

10:15 pm

dfmchfhf

<-- is recently narcoleptic.
And insomnic too, paradoxically.

10:15 pm

TeaNCrackers

it was the archaeology department at the university, so they will be on break, too - I'll figur eit out

10:15 pm

herinfernallady

Not hot but humid and stormy and I know that tommorrow is going to blow and suck

10:15 pm

TeaNCrackers

I think she was more distressed about not getting to ride the school bus. it is a novelty

10:15 pm

herinfernallady

Tea maybe you can speak to the people at the Arch department to show her through

10:16 pm

dfmchfhf

Food poisoning? Illness caught at school?

10:16 pm

TeaNCrackers

I might just pull her out of school one day while Crackers is in afternoon kindy and take her up there

10:17 pm

stidmama

that's a good idea.

10:18 pm

TeaNCrackers

you know, dfm, she has the weakest stomach and it usually takes her two days to feel better. Cracker is a one and done kid.

10:18 pm

herinfernallady

Stid sadly b.fs Pa died last Wednesday and his funeral is tomorrow. Have to wear full suit that kind of thing. I am going to wear a sleavless dress and cardigan

10:18 pm

stidmama

is the ten fishy?

10:18 pm

dfmchfhf

no stid, not really.

10:19 pm

stidmama

*very sad mama look* I am most unhappy to hear that. Your choice for clothes sounds perfect. Just wish you were wearing them for a happier occasion.

10:19 pm

stidmama

help please dfm? I am not listing, just want to have the ten.

10:20 pm

TeaNCrackers

ok, off to bed for me - hubby is on the schedule from last Saturday until Christmas, without a day off - love the post office! So, I must get up there and spend a few minutes with him before he leaves for work.

10:20 pm

TeaNCrackers

Night all! Thanks for the commiseration!

10:20 pm

herinfernallady

So do I. Poor B.f has to wear the full suit. I hope he doesn't bake. I will wear a sleeveless dress and short sleeve cardigan as it is a Catholic mass and it is disrespectful to have bare arms in a church

10:20 pm

dfmchfhf

Do you have the me7/40?
part of the brain, me7 oblongata

10:20 pm

herinfernallady

O MY Gosh TEa how you going to cope?

10:20 pm

stidmama

sweet dreams tea. ((hug)) hope all feel right in the morning!

10:20 pm

stidmama

yes, I have the me 7

10:21 pm

dfmchfhf

night tnc!
Hope Tea gets better soon!

10:21 pm

stidmama

*envisions an airconditioned shirt to wear under suit*

10:21 pm

Minski

5

10:21 pm

dfmchfhf

The having of a me7 is to be me10.

10:21 pm

herinfernallady

I think he is also opting for a long sleeve shirt.

10:22 pm

herinfernallady

I was going to go and wear a ''cow'' print sun dress but I have a feeling that black would be better. And it is likely to rain at the burial so that should be muddy fun

10:23 pm

Minski

need help with my last 2 words.

10:23 pm

stidmama

hm... *thinking*

10:23 pm

Minski

AN6/24 & AN6/30

10:23 pm

dfmchfhf

what are you missing, mins?

10:23 pm

Minski

please?

10:23 pm

stidmama

black would work, and doesn't show stains if you are like me an always drip tea on things

10:24 pm

herinfernallady

I know but the cow one is higher cut. Less boobs

10:24 pm

Minski

Traditional black not super sexy but not tentish either with a cardigan.

10:24 pm

dfmchfhf

an6/24 is a wreath for your head

10:24 pm

dfmchfhf

Not sure what the other is, lemme check...

10:25 pm

stidmama

well if you are wearing a cardigan too, probably won't be too many boobs flying around anyway?

10:25 pm

dfmchfhf

oh, huh, an6/30 is a moon of Jupiter. Enable is sooooo silly...

10:25 pm

herinfernallady

True but that cardi is on only in church or I will bake too

10:25 pm

stidmama

tough decision!

10:27 pm

herinfernallady

I will go on his lead.

10:27 pm

stidmama

FINALLY got the 10. thanks dfm

10:27 pm

Minski

10:28 pm

Minski

10:29 pm

herinfernallady

dfmchfhf

10:29 pm

herinfernallady

10:29 pm

Minski

10:30 pm

Minski

10:30 pm

herinfernallady

10:30 pm

stidmama

Evening all. May I please have a clue for me7-40? Thanks

10:35 pm

stidmama

10:36 pm

dfmchfhf

Part of your brain is the me7 oblongata.

10:36 pm

gapeach

Hey there, stid. Thanks/.

10:37 pm

stidmama

*gasp* I only JUST saw the FISHY fish!

10:37 pm

stidmama

10:43 pm

stidmama

stidmama

10:46 pm

gapeach

10:51 pm

gapeach

11:05 pm

herinfernallady

is anyone here?

11:06 pm

dfmchfhf

<-- was busified with KoL

11:06 pm

dfmchfhf

oops, wrong answer. I me4...

11:06 pm

dfmchfhf

no, herin, you're totally alone... alone, and there is nobody else here...

11:07 pm

Susan-Victoria

gapeach, to pattern your behaviour after..

11:07 pm

herinfernallady

Well if that is the case I can run about naked

11:08 pm

dfmchfhf

yes you can... but you shouldn't, there may or may not be innocent people watching...

11:08 pm

herinfernallady

I know that is why I said I could

11:08 pm

herinfernallady

or meant to

11:08 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Susan

11:08 pm

Susan-Victoria

Hi herinfer...

11:09 pm

dfmchfhf

hi Susan :o)

11:09 pm

herinfernallady

herin please it is will be easier

11:10 pm

Susan-Victoria

Hello, young Canuck (dfmchfhf...)

11:10 pm

dfmchfhf

:oO Susan our Babble ages are the same!

11:11 pm

Susan-Victoria

We've got babble ages?

11:11 pm

Susan-Victoria

So we do!

11:12 pm

dfmchfhf

haha, there are 176 Babblers between us... and I joined slightly earlier than you :oP
yeah, check the profiles...

11:12 pm

Susan-Victoria

West coast or east coast or somewhere in between, dfmchfhf?

11:13 pm

dfmchfhf

At the moment, in the nation's Capital... usually a bit further down south. And a bit further west.

11:14 pm

Susan-Victoria

I imagine you're a little colder than we are... No snow here, but a southeaster promised.

11:18 pm

dfmchfhf

I heard there was a snowfall that more or less equals the yearly average on the west coast recently?

11:19 pm

dfmchfhf

I think we're a bit colder over here... more inland... but we've barely had any snow.

11:20 pm

Susan-Victoria

It didn't actually hit my neighbourhood, but there was a sprinkling on the ground for a day or two.

11:22 pm

Susan-Victoria

When you're ready to retire to the warmth, come west young man!

11:22 pm

Susan-Victoria

I guess it'll be quite a few years for you tho', since you're under a year....

11:23 pm

dfmchfhf

hehe.
actually nineteen... still in university...

11:24 pm

dfmchfhf

and I like the cold... o.o
even though I was born in Hong Kong...

11:24 pm

Susan-Victoria

Excellent! What are you studying?

11:24 pm

Susan-Victoria

Math?...

11:25 pm

Susan-Victoria

Guess based on that Rubik's cube...

11:25 pm

dfmchfhf

good guess!
And you're right...
CS / Pure Mathematics

11:26 pm

Susan-Victoria

Interesting. You're obviously a well-rounded person because here you are using the other side of your brain doing word games.

11:26 pm

herinfernallady

back later sorry life has to interrupt

11:27 pm

dfmchfhf

bye herin, hope it's not a serious issue!

11:28 pm

dfmchfhf

<-- is a mathophile.
"matho" prefix meaning "knowledge", not "mathematics".

Close enough to a polymath, I guess, but most of what I know isn't in-depth... :o(

11:28 pm

dfmchfhf

although I must admit I'm also a mathephile ("mathe" meaning "mathematics" and not "knowledge")!

11:30 pm

Susan-Victoria

It's a nice, reliable subject. What do you plan to do with it? Accounting? Business?

11:32 pm

dfmchfhf

stuff that's neither nice nor reliable -- quantum mechanics, or quantum computing.

11:33 pm

Susan-Victoria

gulp. Sounds like a heavy course load.

11:35 pm

dfmchfhf

CS + PMath already is, I need to take 55 courses to5 :oS and standard is 40... thinking I'll take an extra term, and delay the physics half until later... (though a minor in physics is included in the 55.)

11:36 pm

Susan-Victoria

That's very ambitious. It'll be wonderful when you're done, but I don't envy you right now. Don't let it wear you down.

11:40 pm

dfmchfhf

wonderful that is, if I can find some place to work or make a discovery... ;o)
Research-oriented jobs are difficult, or so I've heard... kind of a bit anxious about it, being on a co-op term with a "normal" job this term is making the anxiety a bit worse...

11:44 pm

Susan-Victoria

If you're studying something you genuinely enjoy, then it will definitely work out for you. The problems only arise when people aren't committed to their choices.

11:48 pm

Susan-Victoria

And the co-ops give you a bit of a 'foot in the door' of the places you might be interested in working, don't they?

11:50 pm

dfmchfhf

yeah they do :o)

11:50 pm

cosdem

greetings earthlings

11:50 pm

dfmchfhf

hi cos :o)

11:50 pm

Susan-Victoria

So, you'll have a job before you've even graduated!

11:51 pm

Susan-Victoria

Hi cosdem!

11:51 pm

cosdem

this grid sucked but im glad i finished it

11:51 pm

cosdem

hi dfm and susan!

11:55 pm

dfmchfhf

ooh, cos, greeted you wrongly... should have said

Salutations, squishy flesh-being

11:55 pm

cosdem
