I am back with oatmeal. I can stay another 5 min or so.

6:18 am

6:19 am

Sally-catlover

Just spent five minutes searching for word I already have. Sigh.

6:19 am

Flask1

well there's another for yoyu!!

6:19 am

Scrabbler

I already have that, Flask, and Sally, I often do that.

6:20 am

Sally-catlover

I didn't have that!

6:21 am

Flask1

Oh well....ah'll try better next time!!

6:21 am

Flask1

It was a wee b/day pressie from me to Sally~!!...lol

6:22 am

Sally-catlover

I do object to the singular of the childhood disease. Even if you only have one, you never call it by the singular name surely!

6:22 am

Scrabbler

It's your birthday, Sally?

6:22 am

Sally-catlover

It was very wee, Flask. Can you make it a 7-letter high scoring one next time?

6:22 am

Sally-catlover

Scrabbler would be the expert here.

6:23 am

Flask1

the plural is there.....

6:23 am

lynxxx

my 3 7s are all compound with same last 4 letter word

6:23 am

Flask1

Oh I have no 7's or 6's....driving me mad!

6:23 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, I have the plural as well. It's the singular word I object to!

6:23 am

Scrabbler

Aha, I had missed that word, and I agree that the singular is silly, like "measle."

6:24 am

Sally-catlover

I have five of the 7s.

6:24 am

Flask1

Oh I see....sorry.....any clues Lynxxx for the 7's please?

6:24 am

Scrabbler

sp6 = a different way to say that some has rotted

6:24 am

Sally-catlover

There you are, I bow to your expert advice Flask.

6:24 am

Flask1

or even Sally!

6:24 am

Scrabbler

st6==puts one's foot down repeatedly

6:25 am

Sally-catlover

em 7/36, start like not full minus the last letter, then add another word for cans

6:25 am

lynxxx

sorry - actually only 2 end with the word opp of least

6:25 am

Scrabbler

st6= plural of devices one can walk with to be taller

6:25 am

lynxxx

the pe7 is perhaps a dog that needs the most pats

6:26 am

Sally-catlover

li 7/32, like the li 6 but add a vowel

6:27 am

Michnick

Hi all, the clues are flying here to fast for me, off to make a cup of coffee and I'll be back in a bit.

6:27 am

Scrabbler

I don't have time to figure out those last 2 clues. I mu4 get ready for work. Bye all. Enjoy the day!

7:02 am

hailey

7:03 am

hailey

i do not know give me other hint

7:04 am

Well the tu 4/7 is a word I only learnt when we came to Shropshire.

7:06 am

hailey

i think u do not want me any more

7:06 am

MollyL

Time to move to Birdwell Island Trif.

7:06 am

jmcnrick

i am giving you clues hailey

7:07 am

Trifioso

wonder what Birdwell did with all Clifford's dumps? they never showed THAT on the show!

7:07 am

jmcnrick

and remember to add S to any word you find just in case hailey

7:07 am

MollyL

Um...that's why no one swims at the Birdwell beaches Trif. : P

7:07 am

jmcnrick

lol trif!

7:07 am

jmcnrick

rolf molly

7:08 am

MollyL

*Sigh* I miss John Ritter.

7:08 am

NonoNanette

good morning Babblers :)

7:08 am

Trifioso

I think Birdwell was such a clever name for that island....the author of the original Clifford books was named Bridwell

7:09 am

MollyL

Ah, fun fact I did not know Trif.

7:09 am

hailey

u are

7:09 am

Trifioso

I am such a word nerd....love stuff like that

Hi Nono....

7:10 am

Sally-catlover

hailey, there is a help button at the top which will show you how to play, but this is really a game for adults with a big vocabulary so you may find it a bit difficult.

7:10 am

jmcnrick

hi nono

7:10 am

hailey

u hate me

7:10 am

Trifioso

and it's bridge!

7:10 am

NonoNanette

am still following the progress of our local high school band on their jouney to London. Because of the storm it is taking them forever to get the entire band there.

7:10 am

FMitch

lol Sally I was just about to say the same thing.

7:10 am

MollyL

The li 7 word is bizarre.

7:11 am

jmcnrick

i concede here

7:11 am

Sally-catlover

Think you are right trif

7:11 am

jmcnrick

i can't quit get the li7 word

7:11 am

FMitch

We don't hate you hailey but this chat/game is not really suitable for a child.

7:11 am

Trifioso

nono, are they really still not there? how stressful! but imagining them coming on stage one at a time as they fly in is sort of fun....

7:11 am

Sally-catlover

There are two li7 words

7:11 am

MollyL

Who is that trap, trap, trapping?

7:11 am

Kaplan the Magne

I think we have a troll. Anyway, what is the o on the far right, for NBT?

7:11 am

NonoNanette

some are there Trif but some still waiting for a flight out of NYC

7:12 am

hailey

trifioso i found 10 words today

7:12 am

Trifioso

7:12 am

Trifioso

good job hailey!

7:12 am

MollyL

Sorry Sally, I meant li 7.28.

7:12 am

jmcnrick

ou7/36 a compound word

7:12 am

jmcnrick

wtg hailey

7:12 am

Kaplan the Magne

TY.

7:13 am

NonoNanette

They were to have a couple of days for sight seeing on their own but that part will not happen now. These kids worked so hard for this trip its sad

7:13 am

Sally-catlover

It's a figure of speech meaning an understatement, and you could say a typically British way of talking. li plus kind of carry bag, plural

7:13 am

jmcnrick

my boys girlfriends dad drove her and her sister down from nyc to dc so the sister could get a flight back to chicago

7:13 am

hailey

tanks and good bye .......poof.....i will come back soon

7:13 am

Trifioso

nono, could they tack a couple of days on to the other end

7:13 am

jmcnrick

bye hailey

7:13 am

Sally-catlover

Can't wait ...

7:13 am

MollyL

Yes, I already have the word. I just think it's strange.

7:14 am

hailey

bye...poof

7:14 am

NonoNanette

then they would have the same nitemare of scheduling flights home Trif.

7:14 am

Trifioso

oh dear, nono

7:14 am

jmcnrick

sally what are you cluing?

7:14 am

Sally-catlover

Oh sorry, Molly. I am lucky in that I studied grammar quite extensively at school which I think doesn't happen now.

7:14 am

hailey

i will play soon

7:14 am

Sally-catlover

jmc, the li 7/28

7:15 am

Flask1

ok...I have em7/36...li7/32...ou7/36...pe7/36 and to7/36.....anyone know what am missing please?

7:15 am

Trifioso

sally, did you used to diagram sentences? we were just talking of that the other day at work. NO ONE does that anymore!

7:15 am

kim m

morning...is there a list somewhere?

7:15 am

jmcnrick

oh ty then sally (not that I have found it)

7:15 am

NonoNanette

at least they have been comfortable while waiting in NYC. The airline put them up in a very nice hotel and they have been well taken care of.

7:15 am

jmcnrick

hi kim

7:15 am

Flask1

no list...

7:16 am

FMitch

Volley has one in her profile

7:16 am

kim m

thanks

7:16 am

jmcnrick

there are worse places than nyc to get stranded

7:16 am

EspritdJean

diagramming sentences...cripes I hated that

7:16 am

Sally-catlover

Gosh, can't remember Trif. But I did English to A level (whatever the equivalent is in US, it was exam taken at aged 18)

7:16 am

rbud

up 7/36 (pl of up6/24)

7:16 am

jmcnrick

okay i am off to get some things done

7:16 am

NonoNanette

true jmc! and because the delays are weather related the airline did not have to accomodate them but they did

7:17 am

jmcnrick

would have left earlier but felt i couldn't leave once i encouraged hailey

7:17 am

jmcnrick

hi bye rbud

7:17 am

Kateq

2 li 7's

7:17 am

jmcnrick

bye all

7:17 am

bye jmc

7:18 am

thanx RBUD

7:18 am

Sally-catlover

I am curious about how young kids find Babble?

7:18 am

Flask1

bye JMC

7:18 am

MollyL

Ruby, I diagrammed sentences.

7:19 am

Trifioso

I did too, Ruby, but not as extensively as some examples I have seen. It can get REALLY complicated!

7:19 am

Flask1

Possibly parents who have been on and are no longer interested....but still have the programme!

7:19 am

movieman

the em7 plz

7:19 am

Kaplan the Magne

OK, gotta get dressed and face the day...

7:20 am

NonoNanette

oh Lord, I remember diagraming sentences. We had an english teacher who demanded perfection in that

7:20 am

Sally-catlover

em 7/36" start with not full, minus the last letter, then four letter word as alternative to cans (what you store food in)

7:21 am

Trifioso

here is a good example of a brilliant sentence diagram: http://tinyurl.com/283rt37

7:21 am

movieman

ty sally

7:22 am

Sally-catlover

We didn't do anything like that that I remember, Trif, think that may be a particularly American way of teaching.

7:22 am

rbud

wow, Trif, that's really something!

7:23 am

NonoNanette

holy moly, I'm glad I never had to diagram that one :)

7:23 am

MollyL

Oh my God. I'm right back in 8th grade with Sister Anicetus.

7:23 am

Trifioso

(ok, now remember, I am a self-confessed word nerd...) I rather wish I had the skills to do that. It is sort of beautiful in it's structure....almost like a chemical expression

7:25 am

rbud

uh, hate to admit it, but I agree, Trif - fun to follow it around. (I might be a closet word nerd of sorts, lol!)

7:26 am

Trifioso

ummm - love you rbud, but I have had quite enough coming out of closets for a good while, dear.

7:28 am

Trifioso

my big phantom to day is "misanthrope" -- how funny is THAT!

7:29 am

7:30 am

"isotope" wants to be there as well

7:30 am

MollyL

Trif, someone who posts on a message board I visit has the username Miss Anthrope. I love it.

7:30 am

Trifioso

good morning grant! all shoveled out down your way?

7:30 am

Trifioso

and it looks like you have power?

7:31 am

Trifioso

great name molly! would be a good drag queen moniker as well...."Hedda Lettuce" is one I love

7:31 am

NonoNanette

morning Grant

7:31 am

grant

yes on both fronts

7:31 am

Trifioso

well done you, grant!

7:32 am

trentsnana

Good morning, all!

7:32 am

bichon

up 6/24 last one

7:32 am

grant

glad we don't live in Scituate

7:32 am

Trifioso

gm trentsnana, you gorgeous stack of pancakes, you!

7:32 am

trentsnana

lol

7:33 am

trentsnana

you are so funny, Trif

7:33 am

Trifioso

amen to THAT grant! oh, those poor people! but seriously who thought it was a grand idea to build those houses out on that teeny little strip of land out there?

7:33 am

trentsnana

you think I'm beautiful because we've been through the same experience - we're joined at the hip because of our "exes".....

7:33 am

grant

hubris?

7:34 am

trentsnana

I'm pretty sure it was you.....right?

7:34 am

Trifioso

I think you are beautiful because I saw those wedding photos!!!

7:34 am

trentsnana

you are so sweet, Trif

7:35 am

Trifioso

I can't remember the name of the beach I mean, but I think you know the one -- you see the houses as you go down the driftway towards the center of Scituate. I am sure they are nice in the summer, but most of them look like they were built by the second little pig

7:35 am

Joanne123

Bichon up and to gently throw a ball

7:35 am

hurshy

don't build your house on the sandy land
don't build it too near the shore
well it might look kind of nice
but you'll have to build it twice
oh you'll have to build your house once more

7:35 am

Trifioso

and yes, trents, I think we do have our exes situations in common. thriling!

7:36 am

trentsnana

It's a bad thing to go through, but you'll come out at the end just fine. I met a wonderful man and have now been married for 28 years.

7:36 am

grant

peggotty beach- (probably not a reference to Dickens)

7:36 am

Trifioso

oh, it writes it's own jokes at the moment. The kids told me they about died laughing at christmas, as mr hate and the roomie bought themselves a karaoke machine, and serenaded the kids with a duet on the day....wait for it....."dancing queen" I mean -- really?

7:36 am

bichon

ty Joanne, but that's not the one I need after all. I need the one before it. The one after being in a sad, unhappy state

7:37 am

trentsnana

OMG - that is soooo funny.

7:37 am

Joanne123

ut 6/24??

7:37 am

Trifioso

and they are going on a cruise to the carribbean too. How fun!

7:37 am

grant

to the nth degree= ut

7:37 am

trentsnana

My son is gay, too, so it didn't quit after the divorce! But I've learn to accept and forget.

7:37 am

bichon

no, I have the up 6/27 and the 5/14. The 6 after that

7:38 am

Trifioso

I hate to sound cliche, or homophobic, but....seriously?

7:38 am

trentsnana

ut 6/24 just like the 6/27, only first consonant is different

7:38 am

trentsnana

ut 6/24 just like the 6/27, only first consonant is different

7:38 am

Joanne123

up and tip the board slightly

7:39 am

bichon

No, I have the ut. It's the up 6/24, the first one I need

7:39 am

trentsnana

oops - why does that repeat?

7:39 am

Smdnjv

Greetings Babblers. Is there a list lingering somewhere??

7:39 am

bichon

tip the board slightly?

7:39 am

trentsnana

anyway, you learn to forgive and forget - it's sooo hard at first

7:39 am

Joanne123

used to be a carnival ride ti.. a whirl

7:39 am

Flask1

Hi SMD

7:40 am

scouser

bichon: think of windmills and Don Quixote

7:40 am

Trifioso

I just keep finding things funny, trents....well, that or terribly sad. I mean, how lovely they are going on a cruise, but um....hello? poverty here....

7:40 am

Smdnjv

Hello Flask

7:40 am

bichon

Got it ty

7:40 am

trentsnana

I know - my ex is STILL in horrible debt. Living waaaay beyond his means. Oh well, his problem and not mine!

7:41 am

Trifioso

ugh, have to get ready for work soon. I mean, I am happy to have a job to go too, but the couple of days off around the holiday have been looooovely

7:41 am

Trifioso

we are rather the other way, trents. he is living it up, I am scraping by

7:41 am

trentsnana

I always hated going back to work after the holidays!

7:42 am

Flask1

there is a list on somebody's profile....just can't remember who's....not helpful, sorry..:-(

7:42 am

trentsnana

I'm retired now, but starting to get a little bored. May have to get a part-time job or do some volunteering.

7:42 am

Trifioso

I did see some good job listings recently, but they are mostly in the city, and that is such a hellish commute, no matter which way you go, car, boat or train

7:42 am

trentsnana

oh, I see, trif. that is NOT fair.

7:42 am

Aloyisius

hi Babblers.. volleymomdee has a list

7:42 am

Trifioso

what did you retire from, trents?

7:43 am

trentsnana

I was the same way until I met my husband. He didn't pay hardly ANY child support, but lived high on the hog himself.

7:43 am

Flask1

Hi Aloy

7:43 am

trentsnana

I worked for county government. The last ten years I worked in accounting at the juvenile court.

7:43 am

Trifioso

aloy, is that your granddaughter? she is beautiful!!! look at those eyes! I am thinking she could kick up some mischief if she wanted!

7:44 am

trentsnana

When I got my divorce, though, I wasn't working. Got a job at a law office. Worked there for 5 years and then got the job at the county after I was remarried.

7:44 am

trentsnana

Worked 25 years and retired.

7:44 am

Aloyisius

hi Flask.. grid is going quickly, (-:

7:44 am

wvteach

good morning all

7:44 am

trentsnana

Any clue with the "O" in the last column?

7:44 am

trentsnana

hi teach

7:44 am

Aloyisius

hi Trif.. yes, that is my 3 yr old granddaughter and you have accurately read those hazel eyes!

7:45 am

Trifioso

she is absolutely adorable!

7:45 am

Trifioso

ou 7 36, trents. farthest away

7:45 am

Aloyisius

ty, Trif.. she is treasured

7:46 am

Flask1

could be quicker, Aloy...lol

7:46 am

wvteach

thnx trif

7:46 am

Trifioso

wow, trents, interesting career path, well done! I am encouraged. I was at home for 15 years, and have been lucky to find work at all. And i do love my work, but I get paid next to nothing, and enrollments are way down, so I am in a pickle now.

7:46 am

trentsnana

So, Aloyisius, can you tell us your REAL first name?

7:46 am

MollyL

Trif, I just spewed water laughing at The Karoke Dancing Queen thing. Ahahahahahaha!

7:47 am

trentsnana

Well, now is a bad time to be going through what you're going through. The job market stinks. Hopefully, it will pick up this year. Any chance of getting grants and going back to school?

7:47 am

Trifioso

glad to have cheered, molly. I mean, how could I not laugh? But I did feel like maybe I shouldn't have....not in front of the kids anyway, or I should have scolded them for laughing, or I don't know what

7:47 am

trentsnana

That WAS funny, wasn't it, Molly?

7:48 am

Aloyisius

takes me a while... h'mm, trent.. you don't believe Aloyisius? LOL.. can tell you it starts with an A and ends with an a

7:48 am

MollyL

Look, I don't care what side of the sex option you're on. Anyone singing ABBA on Karaoke is laughable.

7:48 am

trentsnana

It's hard, Trif. You want to be respectful of their father, but there is a lot of anger there and it's tough.

7:48 am

trentsnana

Andrea?

7:48 am

trentsnana

Amelia?

7:48 am

trentsnana

Alesha?

7:48 am

Trifioso

maybe trents. would help if I had a clue what I wanted to do. Need to find a creative, interesting job that pays tons but allows me to set my own hours so I can put the kids first. Form an orderly queue, prospective employers! oh, and I will need all school vacations and summers off.

7:48 am

Trifioso

annie?

7:48 am

Aloyisius

close enough.. are you on FB? I joined the Babble group on FB

7:49 am

trentsnana

Too bad you're not a school teacher. Great job for mothers.

7:49 am

trentsnana

Yes, I am on FB.

7:49 am

Trifioso

LOL molly! And i agree trents, but I also am a huge believer in two things - 1) being able to laugh at yourself, and 2) yes, fathers should be respected, but the need to be fathers worthy of respect

7:49 am

trentsnana

That's true.

7:49 am

Trifioso

*they need

7:50 am

Aloyisius

(-: one of your guesses is correct.. reminds me of that fairy tale.. what was it? Rumpelstiltskin!

7:50 am

Trifioso

andrea?

7:50 am

trentsnana

btw, thnks for the clue, Trif

7:51 am

MollyL

I'll cast my vote for Amelia.

7:51 am

Aloyisius

(-: yup

7:51 am

Trifioso

oh, dear - who gets the yup, me or molly?

7:51 am

Aloyisius

you do

7:51 am

Trifioso

:)

7:52 am

trentsnana

It's funny how you associate names - there was a girl named Andrea in my class when I was in like the 1st or 2nd grade. She was kind of a tomboy and was always threatening to beat me up - ha!!

7:53 am

Trifioso

every single boy I ever dated that broke up with me for another girl always, always broke up with me for a "debbie" ....still not a fave

7:53 am

trentsnana

I'm sure you're much nicer than her, Aloy!!

7:53 am

Aloyisius

I was also a tomboy, but not an aggressive one.. I just liked sports and climbing trees and being outside as much as possible

7:54 am

Aloyisius

still climb trees, lol

7:54 am

Trifioso

oh, aloy, come out to NE for vacation, and i will take you to visit one of the Newport Mansions in Rhode Island. It is called the Elms, and it has THE most amazing weeping beech trees EVER

7:55 am

trentsnana

It's going to be 35 here today, but only 7 tomorrow. Supposed to get a foot of snow, too. Ugh.

7:55 am

Trifioso

big ugh!

7:55 am

Trifioso

i think it is only about 13 here today. everything is frozen solid

7:55 am

trentsnana

I don't climb trees anymore, but do love to do outdoor things. Like hiking, camping, biking, and hunting.

7:56 am

trentsnana

Hope this doesn't come your way!

7:56 am

Aloyisius

ooh, you may have to restrain me, Trif.. (-: sounds wonderful

7:56 am

trentsnana

Are you in Florida for the winter, Aloy?

7:57 am

Aloyisius

yes, and we had another bad freeze last night.. not good for crops and citrus and other living things, sigh

7:57 am

Aloyisius

but warming, starting today, whew

7:57 am

Trifioso

oh I tell a lie...it's 30 degrees, with freezing drizzle in the forecast. excellent

7:57 am

trentsnana

Hubby and I will be in Punta Gorda from Jan 16-22nd. Visiting my dad and stepmom. They rent a place there for three months every winter.

7:58 am

trentsnana

Ugh - would rather have the snow than the freezing drizzle.

7:58 am

Trifioso

trents, you come too! the gardens at the elms are lovely, and you can hold the del's lemonade while aloy and I climb, and then help us talk our way out of it when the guards catch us!

7:58 am

Aloyisius

well, we need to get in touch, trent.. you will be VERY close to us

7:58 am

trentsnana

Hope the weather straightens out down there by the time we get there! Trying to escape the cold...

7:58 am

Trifioso

alarm going off....ignoring it...

7:59 am

trentsnana

LOL, Trif. Sounds like a plan.

7:59 am

trentsnana

Wish you didn't have to go to work!!

7:59 am

Aloyisius

write me at chnops@windstream.net, trent.. would enjoy meeting a babbler!

7:59 am

trentsnana

How far away is it?

7:59 am

Aloyisius

stones throw, seriously

7:59 am

Trifioso

such an exciting day, me - work in the morning, and then a filling replacement at the dentists after. wheeee

8:00 am

Aloyisius

we use the PG post office

8:00 am

trentsnana

had that done a few weeks ago, Trif - yuck

8:00 am

Trifioso

trying to get all these things done before my insurance runs out in february....

8:00 am

trentsnana

we'll have to see how it works out

8:00 am

Trifioso

did you have to have novacaine?

8:00 am

trentsnana

we are supposed to meet up with a few people while there

8:00 am

Aloyisius

okie dokie

8:00 am

trentsnana

yes, I did, Trif - mouth (and nose) were frozen for hours - ha!

8:01 am

trentsnana

but it sounds good, Aloy

8:01 am

trentsnana

wish we had more time

8:01 am

Trifioso

bummer. I hate novacaine. HATE it

8:01 am

trentsnana

I wrote down your e-mail

8:02 am

trentsnana

we cancelled our dental insurance - it was going to almost double per month

8:02 am

Aloyisius

good.. I'll do a sun dance for you

8:02 am

Trifioso

I am not going to get it again once my insurance runs out. i will just have to pay cash for what i need

8:02 am

Aloyisius

brb, someone drank my coffee again

8:03 am

trentsnana

us, too - we figured if we put away what we've already been paying each month, it will about pay for it

8:04 am

Trifioso

I just hope I remember to be good with cleanings and all. the fry still have dental, so I will just schedule cleanings when they go, and that should remind me

8:04 am

Trifioso

I am so lazy with check ups and mammos and things like that. Therapy though? Every week, amen and amen!!! LOL

8:05 am

trentsnana

therapy - the best thing for what you're going through

8:05 am

trentsnana

I did not have it at the time, but went later to deal with some of it

8:06 am

Trifioso

that does remind me though, I do need a full check up, before the insurance runs out. fun times! probably find a few cobwebs you-know-where! TMI? LOLOLOL

8:06 am

trentsnana

I was only 24 when it all started and the kids were 3 and 6.

8:06 am

Trifioso

ugh.

8:06 am

trentsnana

LOL, Trif.

8:06 am

trentsnana

Hate those appointments, too. But then, do you know any women who can't wait to go?

8:07 am

alembick

me, oh I can't wait to go

8:07 am

trentsnana

hahahaha

8:07 am

alembick

wish I could have them every month

8:07 am

Trifioso

you are so inspiring to me, trents. I love knowing that not only can someone survive, but they can thrive. and you found love again, which is really encouraging. right now, I want nothing to do with that. but maybe someday

8:08 am

alembick

sorry to be eavesdropping

8:08 am

Trifioso

hmmm. alem, who does YOUR doctor look like? hugh jackman?

8:08 am

trentsnana

yes, Trif, you will be fine - better than fine

8:08 am

trentsnana

no apology needed, alem - it was funny

8:08 am

alembick

was just kidding about the mammos etc. But I do agree about the therapy. I was sad when my therapist told me that he thought I was doing much better and didn't need to come back except on an as needed basis

I used to have a pretty good looking gynecologist, but it didn't change my attitude about checkups.

8:09 am

trentsnana

Probably even more self-conscious!

8:09 am

trentsnana

Therapy is good for anyone. Always feels good to unload on someone else.

8:09 am

Trifioso

i actually found myself feeling sorry for the roomie the other day....I mean, let's consider -- mr hate lied to me about everything for two years straight. do we really think I am the only one he lies to? poor roomie. they are basically doomed, aren't they?

8:10 am

trentsnana

Probably - once a liar, always a liar, is what I say.

8:10 am

Trifioso

my other fave-- quote my mom "if he did it with you, he will do it to you"

8:10 am

hurshy

ONCE a liar? does that mean you've NEVER lied?

8:11 am

alembick

Tri, just came in on this so I don't know the back story but I was lied to for 10 years and 4 years out, nothing for him has lasted . . . including (and especially) the one he left our family for

8:11 am

Trifioso

hey there hurshy!

8:11 am

trentsnana

I mean a pathological type of liar.

8:11 am

Trifioso

wow alem. sorry to hear, but it sounds like you are better off now

8:12 am

alembick

MUCH MUCH better.

8:12 am

trentsnana

Trif and I had our hubbies leave for another male....how can you compete with that?

8:12 am

Trifioso

I think it is more than just lying. there is also not being able to confront the truth, ever. it's so weird.

8:12 am

trentsnana

We didn't have the right equipment to compete - ha!!

8:12 am

Trifioso

I don't want to compete, trents. I just want to rest.

8:12 am

trentsnana

I really didn't want to complete, either, but wouldn't have been able to if I did.

8:13 am

alembick

Oh, that stings . . . I had theories about that with my situation also . . . since he always goes for the unavailable woman . . . so he can idealize her but doesn't have to have any icky sex

8:13 am

trentsnana

Most gays and lesbians now are "coming out" and not living lies like our exes did.

8:13 am

alembick

But he denies that . . .

8:13 am

trentsnana

Sounds like a good theory, alem.

8:13 am

Trifioso

Tertiare is coming into my work today, for some educational testing, which they were nice enough to comp for us. And mr hate is dropping her off, about an hour before I am scheduled to be in. I would LOVE to be a fly on the wall for THAT! These women have heard all about mr hate for months now, and here is, walking in....tee hee

8:14 am

Trifioso

but you are okay now, alem, yes?

8:14 am

Trifioso

I would rather, if one of my kids does turn out to be gay, that they never have to come out. they just are who they are, and never try to hide it.

8:14 am

alembick

Yes. Actually being out of the lie and disrespect filled atmosphere resulted in almost immediate improvement . . . although much pain

8:15 am

Trifioso

((((alem))))) big hug!

8:15 am

alembick

Tri, my 8 yo son has already asked what I would do if he was gay and I said "love you just the same"

8:15 am

Trifioso

kick me off here in five more minutes, okay?

8:15 am

Trifioso

well done, alem!!! great answer!

8:15 am

alembick

not sure if he's thinking he is, or if it's just so much in the media that it's on his mind

8:16 am

alembick

last thing I would want is for either of my kids to feel like they had to hurt other people constructing a false identity. . .

8:16 am

Trifioso

my theory is that your son is around the age when they start to notice that people come in different flavors at all. I swear, kids don't even notice boy vs girl before then

8:18 am

Trifioso

I had a friend in college, who, as a child, asked his mom what masturbation was. She told him, and then added "of course, if you do that, Walt will come looking for you!" Who is walt? he asked...."Walt Disney, looking for another fairy!" Can you IMAGINE telling a child that? Ignorant cow! And she was a nurse!!!

8:18 am

trentsnana

My son came out just before college. He is not ashamed of it and does not make excuses for it. I say "you go"! He's a wonderful young man, graduated from Harvard Law School, was in the Peace Corps, and has accomplished more in his 35 years than a lot of people will in their lifetime. He's very interesting and a thoughtful, caring individual. THAT'S what counts.

8:18 am

trentsnana

That WAS ignorant, Trif.

8:18 am

Trifioso

wow, trents! Does he have a partner, or is he single?

8:19 am

Trifioso

see, I don't care what flavor my kids are when they grow up, but I wish they would know love in their lives. Not sex, LOVE. To love, and to be loved in return

8:19 am

trentsnana

I am happy that people are slowly but surely changing their attitudes toward gays. They are people, too. I truly believe it is determined at birth. My son said he knew he was gay by the time he was five - and he didn't even know what sex was! So, explain that.

8:20 am

trentsnana

He has a wonderful partner. A young man from Thailand. We absolutely adore him.

8:20 am

alembick

Tri, you are officially kicked off. I am also leaving. Trent & Tri, good luck with everything, hope 2011 is full of LESS drama and more peace, prosperity, & word games (of the fun kind not the manipulative kind). Trents you must be so proud of your son. Tri, I totally agree. That's what I pray for, for my kids. And myself, for that matter . . . if everyone had more love in their lives maybe there would be less of all the bad stuff, all over. Goodbye, have a great day you 2.

8:21 am

trentsnana

You've got that right, Alem - thank you!

8:21 am

Trifioso

I agree with you trents, and more and more medical science agrees with you too. I wonder what the crazy christians will do, once it has been established without a doubt that it is a scientific structure, and not a "lifestyle choice"

8:21 am

Trifioso

thanks alem!!! can't be late!

8:21 am

trentsnana

I don't know - but I'm glad things are changing.

8:21 am

trentsnana

Have a great day, Trif.

helensgirlkid

It was one of those names you come up with when you're setting up a new computer - mostly they disappear from use (if your lucky!), but this one works OK.

12:06 pm

rubyfoo

I love it, wish I had thought of that. Using my dog's name isn't exactly original....

12:07 pm

rubyfoo

Well okay then --- have fun everyone! *poof*

12:11 pm

Nef

hi ruby. We had a very nice Christmas; but also got a lot more snow. And we are expecting even more this coming weekend

12:12 pm

rubyfoo

I am pretending that our snow is basically over; 4 ft in Dec was very unusual

12:13 pm

rubyfoo

he, we've had a dense cloud on us all day, you can barely see the street and not the lake or mountains, but, fortunately, no precipitation

12:13 pm

Nef

you too??? We have set a new record for December snow here in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN).

12:14 pm

rubyfoo

and the arena collapsed! WAY too much snow for you

12:14 pm

Nef

We have sunshine today for the first time in over a week at least (I can't remember the last sunny day we had)

12:14 pm

rubyfoo

this was the most snow in France since 1957!

12:15 pm

Nef

Well, it *was* an inflatable roof on the dome. After 30 years, it's not that bad an average (it had partially collapsed back in 1982-83 too

12:15 pm

rubyfoo

I don't really mind it because we're out in the country. As long as there is food and grog in the house, no problem

12:16 pm

rubyfoo

when I lived in Binghamton NY, the arena they were building collapsed under the weight of snow BEFORE it was completed!

12:17 pm

Nef

true. However, the big problems people are having now is ice dams on the roofs. I hired a guy to come get some snow off our roof yesterday; it's over waist deep on the south side of the roof and the weight is a concern

12:18 pm

rubyfoo

stay in the house!!!!

12:18 pm

rubyfoo

when the snow comes off our roof, it usually hurts the little Japanese maples

12:18 pm

Nef

My friend has a snow drift covering her 2nd story bedroom window (south-facing) on her roof

12:18 pm

rubyfoo

wow!

12:20 pm

rubyfoo

speaking of roofs (rooves?), French roof and plural

12:21 pm

Nef

the pile of snow in our front yard keeps getting deeper and deeper from digging out the drive way. Right ow it's taller than my Toyota RAV-4 by the front door/driveway. And we've been able to have friends who've come to dig us out.

12:21 pm

rubyfoo

that is a lot of snow, nef!

12:21 pm

Nef

12:22 pm

Flask1

clue for mo6/21 please?

12:22 pm

rubyfoo

12:24 pm

periwinkle

where is there a list pls

12:24 pm

rubyfoo

rubyfoo

MollyL

VolleyMomDee Peri

12:25 pm

periwinkle

12:25 pm

rubyfoo

hello again, molly. Now there is leftover spicy whole wheat pasta

12:26 pm

Nef

hi boo, Flask, peri, Molly, and all

12:26 pm

rubyfoo

I'm hoping the leftover capon will fly away (it's outside)

12:26 pm

rubyfoo

can capons still fly?

12:26 pm

Nef

is it alive?

12:26 pm

crosshair

best way to learn ruby :)

12:27 pm

rubyfoo

no, I was kidding. I offered leftover capon to molly before and she said "No way after 2 days!"

12:27 pm

rubyfoo

I just don't want to deal with it

12:28 pm

Nef

freeze it then

12:28 pm

rubyfoo

too late, I'm afraid

12:29 pm

rubyfoo

it's been outside since Christmas

12:29 pm

onyx

no critters

12:29 pm

Nef

oh. Then you *have* to deal with it before it stinks!

12:29 pm

onyx

no critters have gotten to it?

12:29 pm

rubyfoo

fortunately, it's cold!

12:30 pm

rubyfoo

no critters here; the French have eaten all the critters

12:30 pm

MollyL

Ruby, do something about that capon before it morphs into a gooey blob and attacks your house. : D

12:30 pm

onyx

if it were here many a wild critter would have got it

12:31 pm

crosshair

they ate all the racoons as well? lol

12:31 pm

onyx

and some domestic ones too

12:31 pm

periwinkle

ruby how long have you be in France and how did you end up there?

12:31 pm

rubyfoo

it is so cold here, if I take care of it before March, it will be OK!

12:31 pm

rubyfoo

13 years and it was a new start for us, bluebeard having been married a lot before

12:32 pm

periwinkle

MollyL

Nef, if you are into yoga, Peggy Cappy has a great Yoga For Arthritis DVD out.

1:13 pm

Nef

Molly, I just got a yoga for arthritis video when I re-upped for public TV. I also have a Tai Chi video for chair-bound people (from when DH was so sick) and we're trying to use both of those.

1:14 pm

Nef

(I don't even know hwo does the yoga video we have; I'll check though)

1:15 pm

Nef

LOL! It is Peggy Cappy; her "Yoaga for the rest of us" videos! :-)

1:17 pm

MollyL

My only problem with Peggy Cappy's DVD is that the people she has doing yoga with her look like androids. No expression in their eyes whatsoever. Creepy.

1:19 pm

Nef

Wow. I've never paid that much attention to them before. Now I'll probably fixate on that! I don't think I've never looked at the faces of any of the people on exercise tapes

1:21 pm

I always see words in groups. One night just after the flip I entered about 10 words in rapid succession -in CHOG!_ before I knew I was in the wrong box. I really need to learn to look AT the screen instead of at the keyboard!

1:39 pm

cybernan

icing sugar is a powdered sugar used to make cake frostings and berry sugar is a very fine granular sugar that is made from berries rather than cane

1:39 pm

jmcnrick

i make my own by throwing regular sugar in the food processor

1:40 pm

jmcnrick

apparently mo** of the 7s end with the same 4 letters! ;-)

1:40 pm

cybernan

*you can use all icing sugar or 1/2 regular sugar -- the cane sugar makes the shorbread a little harder.

2:40 pm

jmcnrick

kaftan is from morrocco or other middle eastern type places

2:41 pm

Glantarell

but it does have neat tie-dye patterns and ebroidery

2:43 pm

MollyL

Glan, do a Google image search on mu4 and caftan. You will see the difference.

I get so confused about what are allowable words here. I've been told abbreviations are not allowed. And yet te4/6 is playable in this grid.

5:09 pm

redturtlehead

essentially what is allowed is whatever the enable dictionary has in it.

5:09 pm

redturtlehead

it confuses all..

5:09 pm

Kaplan the Magne

MollyL

Short for what you take when you have a fever.

i've been tired and listless

7:31 pm

Dorens

sorry to hear that mere, but at least it wasn't cocacola

7:31 pm

Dorens

well owl you are in mourning, allow yourself that, ok?

7:31 pm

stidgmere

Muscle tone would be good to increase I expect for many of us. Oh, you're right Dorens we were very thankful it wasn't sticky and/or chocolaty.

7:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

and this band is pretty awful :(

7:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

actually, pretty average

7:32 pm

I bought some science fiction books and am starting "Contact" which I know is an old book but somehow I never read it.

7:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am waiting for "the last boy" but i think i am number 150 on the list

7:34 pm

stidgmere

I believe if one were born in the mid 80s they would be the same age as the book. I could look it up but frankly it is not that important a fact.

7:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

will be needing some book recommendation but will not allow it until i have done my year end cleaning. boy is this place neglected. all i need are 20 cats.

yes, the wifi version is quite nice -- I think the 3G version that allows downloads from the cellphone system would be nice if I commuted on trains and such, but not worth the price for my situation.

7:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

stidge, i have not htought about it. the library is free. i think i need a tv made in this century for starters.

7:39 pm

9:12 pm

jmcnrick

*mini poof*

9:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty

9:13 pm

welki

the goldberg variations? in the 1700s, bach wrote a bunch of music for the harpsichord .. they were called variations. goldberg was the guy who played them

9:13 pm

welki

yeah, what jmc said

9:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

ok. i do not know classial music in depth

9:13 pm

dfmchfhf

they used to merely be part of his KlavierUbung books.

9:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

my god, his fingers just glide over the keyboard

9:14 pm

welki

i grew up with it, owl, but don't know squat about it either. just what i like :)

9:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

now, ask me about aeronatuics and it's a different story

9:15 pm

welki

hmmm...what's bernoli's principle (or something like that)

9:15 pm

dfmchfhf

Bernoulli ;o)

9:16 pm

welki

bernoulli .. the other is olive oil :)

9:16 pm

yay jmc!

9:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

and more of a maintenance type

9:20 pm

EvaNadine

*pops into the chog just in time for bernoullis principle*
we used to teach about that back when i worked at the air + space museum. :)

9:20 pm

dfmchfhf

"as long as it gets off the ground I don't care how!"?

9:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

esp for avionics and hydraulics

9:21 pm

jmcnrick

the fairies get under the wings of the plane an lift

9:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

er, yes, je. yes they do. :/

9:22 pm

dfmchfhf

so... if I have a pipe that narrows, with air flowing through... where is the pressure lowest? Where is the airspeed lowest? ;o)

9:22 pm

EvaNadine

bernoullis principle basically states that fast moving air has low pressure.

9:22 pm

welki

you could explain principles to me all day and i still couldn't grasp how planes and helicopters fly around in the sky

9:23 pm

EvaNadine

the pressure would be lowest at the narrowest point of the pipe, because the air moves fastest there. :)

9:23 pm

dfmchfhf

well, as long as it doesn't crash it's fine and it doesn't matter how it works, right welki? ;o)

9:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

what did you do at air & space? doren was just talkig about her grands being there today

9:23 pm

dfmchfhf

The Bernoulli Principle, by the way, is not the reasons planes can stay in the air ;o)

9:24 pm

dfmchfhf

they can also fly up-side-down, and the Bernoulli Principle wouldn't allow that!

9:24 pm

EvaNadine

i worked in the gallery called "how things fly" -- we explained...how things fly! did demos + stuff. :)

9:24 pm

hoyamd

lift and thrust. that's all i got.

9:24 pm

EvaNadine

4 forces of flight: lift, weight, drag, thrust.

9:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

well that's it in a nutshell

9:24 pm

li7/28 means: (and I quote)understatement, esp. that in which an affirmative is expressed by the negative of its contrary, as in â€œnot bad at all.â€

10:36 pm

jan

Yeah, my students end up hearing a lot about the law of the han through ching dynasties on the way to leanring about joint ventures.

10:36 pm

jan

Actually tax is really interesting-it's all about distribution of wealth, after all.

10:36 pm

jmcnrick

interesting i willhave to bone up on the han through ching dynasties and joint ventures

10:37 pm

jmcnrick

it is a big tool for social policy jan

10:37 pm

jan

And it's like a scavenger hunt through the code and regs--a bit like Babble, in that sense. :-)

10:37 pm

jmcnrick

think about the deductions and the exemptions

10:38 pm

jmcnrick

such as the fact that they reduced the amount of mass transit employee benefit but not the amount of parking employee benefit even though the original idea was to encourage mass transit

10:38 pm
