1:24 am

scouser

kazzer: one of my grandchildren used to worry about going down the bath plughole: what would she make of the one in your icon?

1:24 am

jillibus

I see, kazzer -- and I recognised your zoea from Friday clue-day too :-

1:25 am

jillibus

I wondered where you were, rennie -- pirates don't drink tea, do they?

1:25 am

Kazzer99

i was quite impressed by it scouser - thanks Jilli - i am trying - its just during the week i run out of time in the mornings and then i dont get back in tll the evenings. Anyway i am off to do a walk somewhere

1:26 am

renfield

tea? no just rum - like mother's milk

1:26 am

o-o

Hope you and your mate are fully recovered, well and smiling, Ren.

1:28 am

o-o

Hello

1:29 am

1:29 am

renfield

tea - yes jilli - i'm slow i know - but even though

1:30 am

o-o

I suppose the outhouse has sold, Ren?

1:31 am

o-o

I know, I am an odd sort to be asking about that.

1:31 am

renfield

no rab - we're keeping it for company. saving all the trash catalogs the come via post to keep in there rather than pay the price to toilet paper.

1:32 am

jillibus

I am thinking you are thinking green, yes.

1:34 am

renfield

i thank you for thinking i'm thinking green

1:37 am

o-o

Politics, eh? I would like to scream at our leaders to remind them playing with the lives of their constituents for power and profit is just so, so wrong. Be well all. Armor is on and a windmill is in sight.

4:12 am

Sally-catlover

lol

4:15 am

rubyfoo

why isn't spam a word?

4:16 am

Sally-catlover

Because it's a trademark for tinned meat.

4:16 am

rubyfoo

but since we all get it, not in the tins.....

4:16 am

dfmchfhf

or an abbreviation for short pointless annoying message.

4:17 am

dfmchfhf

hi {{ruby}}, sally, frog! :o)

4:17 am

rubyfoo

is that its etymology? really?

4:17 am

Sally-catlover

Presumably it hasn't yet reached enable, same as email which I always try.

4:17 am

dfmchfhf

erm. acronym.

4:18 am

dfmchfhf

no, spam in that sense is a backronym

4:18 am

rubyfoo

hahah

4:18 am

rubyfoo

I thought it was an acronym after the fact....

4:18 am

dfmchfhf

the etymology, actually, is from Monty Python's Flying Circus.

4:19 am

dfmchfhf

silly songs from which colloquialisms arose!

4:19 am

rubyfoo

(which I've never seen, shame on me!)

4:19 am

Sally-catlover

6:34 am

it's a good idea, but I have to warm it up, first!

6:35 am

Spam is not in the dictionary????????????????????????????

Don't sl4 and say oo4 or you will end up in the PB. : P

6:35 am

sprite

hehehe think it over... might be worth it

6:36 am

sprite

Molly: and no da4 either

6:36 am

MollyL

I'm guessing it's considered a proper noun since it's a brand name Kap.

6:36 am

rubyfoo

hahah, molly

6:36 am

rubyfoo

or write mollie like yesterday (well connected, she is!)

6:37 am

MollyL

Yes, I imagine between those three words, the PB will do a lot of business today.

6:37 am

movieman

hiya all

6:37 am

Kaplan the Magne

the stuff you screen out of your e-mail is spam.

6:37 am

Kaplan the Magne

I protest.

6:37 am

rubyfoo

hello movie man -- are you really a film expert?

6:37 am

MollyL

Yeah Kap, but Enable has proven that it is computer term illiterate.

6:37 am

sprite

hiya movie my man!

And Kaplan: the enable version Babble uses doesn't know the internet. So how should it know about spam?

6:38 am

movieman

certainly am ruby

6:38 am

Kaplan the Magne

I guess complaining about Enable is getting pretty old.

6:38 am

sprite

yes it is, but don't let that stop you

6:39 am

sprite

rubyfoo, movieman is THE expert on films here.

6:40 am

movieman

Just missing one word.....a p4

6:40 am

movieman

could anyone list the p4's plz

6:41 am

Kaplan the Magne

which one?

6:42 am

rubyfoo

loved your profile, movie man! Have you seen Deadwood, my all-time favorite American series. Great movies: Almost Famous, Blowup, Chocolat, Plots with a View, and 1000's of others. Does the star of Bones have Aspergers' do you think? I would love to have an Aspergers friend as I think I';m borderline as I identify movies from one voice, one line, just from having read the review. And use IMDB, too

6:42 am

sprite

I don't have all Ps yet, sorry

6:42 am

movieman

Don't tend to watch american tv ruby

6:43 am

movieman

Except for South Park and Family Guy

if you can get it on a disk, it would be worth it. It's spectacular!

6:43 am

ty sprite

6:47 am

6:48 am

movieman

my missing one has to be the pi4

6:48 am

MollyL

How did you know it was a 4?

6:48 am

rubyfoo

nap time, see you later!

6:48 am

Kaplan the Magne

It's Spanish for floor.

6:48 am

6:51 am

MollyL

How can there be a plural of mi6?

6:52 am

sprite

have fun movieman!

Molly, I really really don't know. It is a crazy plural.

6:52 am

hurshy

maybe it's not a plural, but an alternate way some people say it, molly. like some people say "anyways"

6:52 am

Kaplan the Magne

There can be two mi6's- one in each hemisphere?

6:53 am

hurshy

or something like "amidships" which applies to one ship

6:53 am

MollyL

I don't know. Some people say "alot" but it's not a recognized word.

6:53 am

Kaplan the Magne

How come someone has no name oricon?

6:54 am

Kaplan the Magne

or icon?

6:54 am

MollyL

*Stops wondering what a name oricon is*

6:54 am

MollyL

I think it's because they haven't gone pro.

6:55 am

Kaplan the Magne

Usually they get a name...

6:55 am

MollyL

Oh but wait, they would have a name. Hmm.

6:55 am

hurshy

but "alot" is just a writing mistake - it's "a lot" - which are too short to count in babble. and sometimes, depending on the type of mistake something is, if enough people say it, it becomes the truth. (credit s colbert). or "anyway" and "anyways" could have arisen simultaneously among neighboring groups of people.

6:56 am

Flask1

a clue please for the 7 please?

6:56 am

Kaplan the Magne

I hate people who say "anyhoo."

6:56 am

MollyL

Flask, plural of when you are suspended in....

6:57 am

Flask1

thanks MollyL....

6:57 am

Kaplan the Magne

Plural of the 6we have been discussing

6:58 am

hurshy

by the way i'm not saying it doesn't seem bizarre to me - just thinking of possible explanations.

6:59 am

7:09 am

Aloyisius

aww, scratches behind the ears to Terra, sounds like he is really "family".. (-=:

7:10 am

Trifioso

oh, sprite --> please tell terra to ask Indy to quit it with the massive growth. Took Indy to the vet yesterday. On Jan 11 he weighed 17 pounds. On February 25, 33!

7:10 am

7:11 am

Aloyisius

Trifioso

large breed puppy food, of course

7:12 am

hurshy

not an OUNCE?

7:12 am

Trifioso

not one that shouldn't be there. he is quite lean, is what I am saying

miracle gro?

7:15 am

hurshy

marty sure is glad it's the weekend.

7:16 am

indy is right where he should be growth-wise, it is just amazing how fast it's happening, and how big he is getting

7:17 am

7:49 am

hurshy

FMitch's profile

7:50 am

uusue2

hurshy, could you define "fish" for me in this context? (I think I get it, but just to be sure...)

7:50 am

NonoNanette

ty hurshy

7:50 am

NonoNanette

I have copied FM's list to my profile

7:51 am

hurshy

a fish is a word which is so normal and easy that you feel so dumb when you realize you missed it that you want to slap yourself in the face with a fish.

7:51 am

uusue2

ah :-) thx

7:51 am

Soodle

Nicely put, Hurshy.

7:51 am

hurshy

a fun babbler named anj who doesn't come around much anymore came up with that.

7:52 am

hurshy

he was dating another fun babbler, lola, they met through babble. but they aren't together anymore. ruined our hopes for a babble wedding. sigh.

7:53 am

uusue2

oh, well! something to look forward to, then :-)

7:53 am

hurshy

mi6... i didn't know you could spell it that way... 1/2 fish.

7:54 am

hurshy

no5, common babblet rhyming with mines from lord of the rings, fish.

7:54 am

hurshy

for me it's a fish anyway.

7:55 am

7:55 am

periwinkle

too even

7:56 am

NonoNanette

spam as enable knows it is a brand name therefore a proper noun. Enable not into the coputer age LOL

7:56 am

hurshy

pi's - not fish

7:56 am

Scrabbler

Good day to all.

8:12 am

Scrabbler

Has everyone finished the grid and run away?

8:13 am

uusue2

hi, scrabs! I'm still here, nowhere near done.

8:13 am

NonoNanette

hi Scrabs!

8:13 am

Scrabbler

Whew, I'm not alone. I don't like being alone on the chat knowing that the lurkers are watching when I talk to myself.

8:14 am

NonoNanette

still here with 14 words hiding form me

8:14 am

Scrabbler

I just started. I FINALLY had a good night of sleep after 3 wks of insomnia.

8:14 am

uusue2

hi, nono!

8:14 am

NonoNanette

hi Sue

8:14 am

uusue2

oh wow, scrabs, that must have been awful (the insomnia, not the sleep)

8:15 am

Scrabbler

Yes, it was frustrating.

8:15 am

NonoNanette

thats a long stretch Scrabs, gald you finally got some good sleep

8:15 am

Kaplan the Magne

I am an advocate of ambien. Insomnia is hell.

8:16 am

Scrabbler

I use melatonin but that only helps me fall to sleep, then I'm wide awake in 3 hrs. I took Benadryl last night.

8:17 am

uusue2

I went through long periods of difficult sleep; ambien helped but what finally did the trick was divorce :-) (not that I am recommending it!!!)

8:17 am

cybernan

good morning, all :)

8:17 am

Kaplan the Magne

Melatonin and benadryl do nothing for me if I am in a badsleep cycle.

8:17 am

Kaplan the Magne

Ididn't try the divorce route though.

8:17 am

uusue2

morning, nan!

8:18 am

NonoNanette

hi Nan

8:18 am

Scrabbler

My sleep is very sensitive to my daily life so if I have an overstimulating day or I am worried then sleep is disrupted.

8:18 am

Scrabbler

Hi Nan

8:18 am

uusue2

I was being facetious but my point was that if distress is keeping you awake then sometimes the only real solution is to remove the source of distress (not always possible, of course, or even desirable)

8:18 am

Scrabbler

Qu tile is grey!

8:19 am

uusue2

you're one ahead of me then, scrabs!

8:19 am

Scrabbler

The source of my stress is my dysfunctional family, esp one of my sisters.

8:20 am

uusue2

Ah. Families can be very difficult.

8:20 am

Kaplan the Magne

qs quashed.

8:20 am

Scrabbler

And I must keep repeating The Serenity Prayer.

8:20 am

uusue2

ha. got the last q (a fish, pretty much)

8:20 am

Scrabbler

Bottom row is grey.

8:21 am

Scrabbler

8:22 am

Scrabbler

I got you right in your solar plexus, Sue.

8:22 am

NonoNanette

i wonder if it was the last q that i found....... it sure was a fish for me

8:22 am

uusue2

well, being a university person, it sure was for me :-)

8:23 am

Scrabbler

Uh, oh, I hear Miss Bea Bunny getting into trouble. BRB.

8:24 am

uusue2

8:24 am

NonoNanette

8:24 am

NonoNanette

coming back in for a bit...just had a cable outlet installed in the spare room, which I have been using as the main room for almost a year...the cable guy found an interesting splitter on my line at the source into the building that shouldn't have been there..more thievery going on...! well at least this should give me uninterrupted service for a day or two...

12:35 pm

rbud

here's hoping for the best for ya, PAV!

12:35 pm

uusue2

Hi, rbud and pav! Interesting discovery, pav - I've found things like that on my cable lines as well but they were all inside the house - historical splitters :-)

12:36 pm

uusue2

Explained why the signals were so bad, before we sorted it out.

12:38 pm

rbud

I was informed the other day that our library (where I'm the director) should probably put a password on our router - this from a local kid who's been arrested for doing bad things on computers.

12:38 pm

rbud

guess he has nothing else to do for entertainment but try to hack into accounts all over town...

12:39 pm

rbud

he says he can see our stuff on his PC. Too bad kids like that can't use their powers for good instead of evil, lol!

12:39 pm

PAV3

the latest episode of "The Good Wife" shows the wife and her brother driving from Oregon to Chi and she has to find a WiFi signal..the ones she finds are locked and he gives her a code to unlock them...does this make sense?

12:40 pm

rbud

hacker! ? ! don't know, PAV, sounds unlikely to me, unless he's a government spy type.

12:41 pm

PAV3

his character is that of college prof

12:42 pm

rbud

hmmmm... strange! But TV often plays to us all like we're clueless, after all. Unlikely scenarios abound.

12:43 pm

Judi

Hello, all. Anyone have a list posted?

12:45 pm

PAV3

well, I'm supposed to help my neighbor set up her new laptop with a wireless router connection from Qwest..it's Win based, so I'm a gonna be guessing...

good luck with that and your signal, PAV

I have a quandry. DH is back in bed (since 10:30A, after getting up at 9) Our daughter has her roller derby bout tonight; and I just asked DH if I should try and see if a friend would go to the bout with me and he can just stay in bed all day (this is something that NEVER happens!). He said yes. I'm worrying about him; and now my 2 closest friends aren't able to go to the bout with me. What to do....

2:01 pm

ChampFit

What are you worried about?

2:02 pm

Nef

first, DH. Second, I already have the tickets...

2:03 pm

ChampFit

Is DH sick or having a lazy day? Sometimes you just gotta regroup!

2:04 pm

Nef

I'm worried he's sick (he has M.S.) but he never knows he's sick til he's in trouble.

2:04 pm

Nef

I'm a nurse; I watch him like a hawk to try and keep him out of trouble

2:05 pm

ChampFit

Then you won't feel comfortable leaving. Decision made!

2:07 pm

Nef

Yeah; except he's always made sure that one or the other of us is at either of our kids' functions. She's 28 (for goodness sake!); but he still thinks we have to be at her events. She broke her arm once in grade school when neither of us were there; you know how dads are about their dtrs!

2:08 pm

Nef

AND we were taking his 85 yr old Aunt with us to the bout!

2:08 pm

ChampFit

Oh, I imagine she'll be disappointed to miss it...

2:10 pm

Nef

yes. I think I should go check DH out again (vital signs were normal at 11; I was trying to hold out til 3.....

2:10 pm

ChampFit

Hope he doesn't slug you! ;)

2:11 pm

Nef

nah, I have an *oral* thermometer! ;-)

2:12 pm

ChampFit

:) good luck later! C U tomorrow!

2:12 pm

Nef

bye!

2:29 pm

MollyL

Nef, still here? How is he doing?

2:39 pm

Nef

Hi again.

2:40 pm

Nef

I've check his temp, BP, and pulse. He just checked his blood sugar; all are normal.

2:41 pm

Nef

I'm making him eat and drink a large glass of water. He'll go back to bed after he eats

2:45 pm

Hi, Nef! Hope your DH is ok...

Glad to hear he's doing well. Sorry he's having a bad day.

So this guy buys a camel, and is riding it down Broadway. One of his friends asks him whether the camel is male or female. Male, he replies. How do you know, asks the friend. Because, he says, when I was riding the camel down Broadway I heard someone say, "Look at the schmuck on that camel!"

Buh dum ching! The camel joke that just keeps on giving. : P

3:08 pm

uusue2

Here is the actual version from Joys of Yiddish (my memory has faded over the years, obviously): Lefkowitz is a lonely widower in Miami Beach who decides he needs to make friends and get more attention from the ladies. An acquaintance advises him that he can solve his problem by getting a camel and riding it up and down the street. Lefkowitz looks in the paper, sees that a circus is in town, and rents a camel. He rides up and down the street on the camel, attracting an enormous crowds of gawkers.

The next day, however, he discovers that the rented camel has been stolen and calls the police. They ask him to describe the camel-- its color, height, and sex.

"What do I know about the sex of a camel?!" cries Lefkowitz. "Wait! Aha! It was a male!"

"How do you know?"

"I'm positive officer, because I just remembered. Because when I was riding up and down the street, I kept hearing people yelling, 'Hey, look at the schmuck on that camel!'"

3:13 pm

uusue2

And now I have put the joke in my profile, so I don't have to keep retyping it :-)

3:14 pm

Nef

cute! I guess it's easier to understand Yiddish humor if you've heard it before or were raised with it. I wasn't. In the smack dab middle of the continent (give or take 300 miles) there were very few Jews around as I was growing up. Ask me about Ole and Lena, however, and I could tell you a lot about that humor.

Hi, nef, I grew up in New Jersey but now live in the midwest, so I've become familiar with all sorts of ethnic humor. All of it pretty funny :-)

3:19 pm

Nef

See, *my* weird brain was thinking: "Is That what they call a penis in Yiddish?"

3:20 pm

uusue2

Sure is, Nef :-)

3:20 pm

Unea, we were the ehtnic minority in my small town. My home town was pretty much half French Canadian and half German; we were Irish.

Nef

and then there were these little farm chlusters of Norwegian bachelor farmers...

3:23 pm

Nef

hi jes!

3:25 pm

Uneaixoise

wow . . . pretty cool to see the radical difference now -- in the same little now there's now a large Hispanic population and, outside of town a bit, Amish, Mennonites, and even a mosque

3:27 pm

Uneaixoise

AND Nashville has the United States' largest population of Kurds -- around 20,000 -- go figure

3:27 pm

Nef

Unea, I'm not a fan of movies or "mainstream" TV; I have read Kurt Vonnegut years ago...

3:27 pm

Uneaixoise

well, yeah, me too back in the '70s

3:28 pm

Unea, you have that memory to always remember herin the future. You'll remember the date of her death; but a bittersweet memory each spring also (which hopefully will be more sweet than bitter as time goes by)

3:41 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I don't know the ps5 babblet...

3:42 pm

uusue2

ps + 3 vowels

3:42 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I'm sorry about you rmom. Everyone dies in January it seems.

3:42 pm

Uneaixoise

true, nef, AND since she had progressive dementia, her death was not sudden, so over the last couple of years I've dug up some of her bulbs and planted them in my yard (and shared them with her caregivers and friends)

3:43 pm

Uneaixoise

I know, Kaplan -- my dad died in January as well (40 yrs ago)

3:43 pm

uusue2

latin plural of some muscles that help you rotate your thigh (the ps5)

3:43 pm

Kaplan the Magne

3 vowels- have you LOOKED at this grid?

3:43 pm

Kaplan the Magne

That is actually the muscle that is very sore today

3:44 pm

uusue2

It is a rather vowel-heavy grid.

3:44 pm

Uneaixoise

indeed, sue LOL

3:44 pm

Nef

Kap, in my family it seems that almost everyone died between Thanksgiving and mid-January. For some people, that might make the Holidays depressing; but I see it as these were the people who made me the way I am and each year their memory is fresh again

3:44 pm

Kaplan the Magne

We need to move these vowels.

3:44 pm

Uneaixoise

didn't know that was a muscle . . . hmmm

3:45 pm

uusue2

<virtuous>me either; I looked it up </virtuous>

3:45 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Both my parents died in January(in the past).

3:45 pm

MollyL

It's just a grid full of odd words. I thought gl4/6 was something you add to the end of a word. Not a word in itself. Who knew?

3:46 pm

Nef

that was the muscle that they first thought I'd pulled last August. Treated it for that til December; the X-ray and MRI showed it's the hip.

3:46 pm

Uneaixoise

need to take pups out to pee -- back in a mo

3:46 pm

that one I actually knew, Molly (although not for any good reason)

3:46 pm

3:46 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Gl is brain---oops- almost went into the PB- brain gl4.

3:47 pm

Nef

just lots of medical terms, maybe?

3:47 pm

uusue2

ooh, hip problems are no fun, Nef. Hope it is ok.

3:48 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I think it's my hip but I feel the miscle ...I am probably riddled with arthritis, but have not had the scans to confirm it. A motrin a day makes the pain go away...

3:49 pm

Kaplan the Magne

P.S. I Love You.

3:49 pm

Kaplan the Magne

or P.S.- IOU.

3:50 pm

Nef

I need a hip replacement. I'm allergic to the non-steroidals (Ibuprofen, aspirin, etc) and also metal; so I got a cortisone injection and am doing much better. Will get by on cortisone injections every 3-4 months for now

3:50 pm

Kaplan the Magne

My arthritic life is just beginning.

3:51 pm

jesdraggon

do they make plastic hip implants?

3:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oy, Kvetch.

3:52 pm

uusue2

Ah. I have to avoid steroids but am fine with metal (both knees so far).

3:52 pm

Kaplan the Magne

My future looks bleak indeed.

3:52 pm

uusue2

I don't think so, jes; I think plastic wouldn't be strong enough. Carbon fiber, maybe, in the future...

3:52 pm

Nef

not yet. That's why I'm going to *limp* along on this for now

3:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Do any of you have those awful knuckle bumps?That's when I knew for sure time was notgoing backward

3:53 pm

Nef

I wanted the synthetic/gel cartilage for my hip, it's only approved for knees so far

3:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

A life of Babble and TCM in the senior center...

hmm. be expensive to do it off insurance then, i suppose

3:54 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I am feeling very Yetta.

3:54 pm

uusue2

I do, kap. The thing that got me was when my thumb joints started hurting. Knees, hips, ok, but THUMBS??? Who ordered that???

3:54 pm

Nef

they won't do it. Kap; I was diagnosed with arthritis when I was 18; the deformities stated about 2 years ago

3:55 pm

uusue2

Hey, as long as the senior center has wi-fi..

3:55 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Yeah, my right thumb sometimes hurts. But today is my ps5. I strained it extra at the gym.

3:55 pm

Nef

there you go, uusue! :-)

3:55 pm

uusue2

Oh, that's tough then, Nef - so you've been living with this for a long time.

3:56 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have probably had arthritis for a long time-both my parents had it much younger, but denial has worked well till recently.

3:56 pm

mkg

hi all. easy grid or tough?

3:56 pm

uusue2

Ah, yes. Denial is very useful :-)

3:56 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I reaIlly should have an MRI- but what would it tell me? That I have arthritis?

3:57 pm

Nef

I've been lucky so far. The metal allergy is what caused me to have a 3rd surgery for my foot several years ago. Surgical staples weren't a good idea

3:58 pm

uusue2

Well. There are other things; I had osteonecrosis in my knees (the bone died around the joints) and replacement was my only option. (Had some arthritis too but the collapsed bone trumped it).

3:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Aging sucks- even witht all this wonderful wisdom I've acquired!

3:58 pm

Nef

that's about it, Kap; and that there is or isn't soft tissue injury too

3:58 pm

uusue2

Are you allergic to all metals, nef, or just some of them?

3:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Wise and decrepit- what good is that?

3:59 pm

Who listens to wise decrepit old people?

3:59 pm

I had platinum earings once that didn't bother me (but I lost one and could never replace them. I wear my wedding band all the time; but sometimes have a bad reaction from that too

3:59 pm

4:00 pm

kaplan, i read rostens book, or maybe two of the kaplan ones. very very cute and funny. but my kids didnt get it as they werent raised with grandparents who were native yiddish speakers who spoke english like kaplan did. i ono the other hand was hysterical from the book.

The person who played Yetta was "Millie"on theold Dick Van Dyke show.

4:01 pm

I'm sure you've heard of the will o' the wi**, Moll?

4:17 pm

uusue, it's the part about "catastrophic failures" from different prosthetics that scares me

4:18 pm

Yeah, I've heard of one. I picked up the chat when someone said "willow".

4:19 pm

Nef

Soodle, I thought that was an excellent clue myself

4:19 pm

Soodle

I live right across the road from a bog, and I see them regularly. A little bit eerie...

4:20 pm

MollyL

As long as you are not hearing Banshees or seeing Pookas, you are okay Soodle.

4:20 pm

uusue2

Nef, that would scare me too. If you do decide to go that route, you would do well to find an orthopedic surgeon who deals with people with metal allergies (and not just the usual contact allergies from nickel).

4:21 pm

Soodle

Nef, thats very worrysome. Good luck in your search.

4:22 pm

Nef - Titanium hip replacements are common here. and FYI my father-in-law - long passed - had 3 hip replacements from age 60-90 and was very happy with them

4:22 pm

Nef

it wasn't just me, uusue. I took some of the pictures of my foot (when I had the surgeries back 4-5 years ago) with me when I saw the ortho doc and she agre.ed with me.

4:24 pm

Nef

I know, lynxxx. It's the fact that I'm allergic to metals and non-steroidals that's the problem.

TY jes - obvious now you've mentioned it \lol

Angela

and ty jilly - I know how hard it is so I am impressed!

5:23 pm

Jillyjill

@molly, it breaks many of the dieting rules, I'm doing the injections (did my research), during 6 week period you are on 500 calories a day..

5:23 pm

Soodle

Well done to all you losers (of weight). Its so flipping easy to put it on - different story trying to lose it.

5:23 pm

jesdraggon

took me a lot of monkeying to find it, G

5:24 pm

Soodle

Crikey Jilly - 500 calories a day is seriously little food....

5:24 pm

Angela

i started the Atkins diet and started running the same day - now have done 2 5ks and 1 6k...never ever thought I would be running, that's for sure!

5:24 pm

MollyL

Jill, the only thing I have heard about it is that the HCG stuff probably isn't necessary since you are on such a severely low calorie diet. Anyone would lose weight on 500 calories a day.

5:24 pm

jesdraggon

it's not cheating if it's something you're really deficient in. i lost 10 pounds just from starting progesterone supplements... makes dieting a LOT more successful when you don't have a medical issue forcing the weight gain.

5:25 pm

MollyL

Good for you Angela!!

5:25 pm

Soodle

Sorry, but what is HCG?

5:25 pm

Angela

and seriously...if I can do it... I never thought I would run unless someone was behind me with a weapon ;)

5:25 pm

MollyL

It's a hormone produced in pregnancy Soodle. It's supposed to speed up metabolism.

5:26 pm

Jillyjill

Actually Soodle, it's been just fine. 100 oz fish/chicken/beef, 2 cups vegies, and a fruit. It's the hormone we have when pregnant. The theory is that it pulls the fat from areas you want to lose, so really your body is using 1500 calories from that, you really aren't hungry

5:27 pm

Soodle

Wow. Whenever I was pregnant, all I ever did was get fatter :-(

5:27 pm

Jillyjill

This is the first time I've lost inches from my damned upper arms....3 inches so far!

doesn't sound very appetizing though :(

Jillyjill

there are definitely better pics of him than that one, but to each his own :) He's no Jason Statham however!

5:35 pm

I never really saw it before. I am so creeped out. there is one mom of a 2 yr old that says that she wants her to be miss america. I mean...what if the kid actually wants to say, be a rocket scientist.....

5:36 pm

Angela

turns my stomach, that show...sad

5:37 pm

Minveryork

Justin Bieber is also SO not eye candy! I do not have Bieber fever!

5:37 pm

redturtlehead

Agreed with Minverm and Angela. It is just so so wrong!

5:37 pm

LeslieAnn

well for us it would still be pedo fever, so that's probably a good thing...

In li 4/5 of watching my GH so5/12 on So4/5Net Sunday night,I'll be watching the awards. I hope that Natalie Portman wins. She has really gr4/10n as an actor. I'll gr5/22 if The Social Network wins an award.They say it's a true story, but a lot of it is not true.It was not worth the $9.95 I pa 4/6 to see it. I like to watch as the camera ro4/5s the red carpet before the show.I wonder if anybody will sl 4/5 this year as they go get their award. Finally, I look forward to watching Anne Hathaway and James Franco. I think they will make a great pa 4/5 as Oscar hosts.I don't think they will do a po 4/5 job at all. And that James Franco, I could sw 5/18 over him any day!He's so HOT! I hope nobody sp 5/12 the show with a bad speech. Da 4/6! My hubby wants laptop!It never fa5/16,my hubby wants laptop just as I'm getting comfortable for all night cluing.He gr 6/36 if I don't give computer to him. I wish I could po 6/21 all of his farm animals.I am going to go watch a film no 4/4. I hope this story gets you fireworks so 4/4. Ad 5/12!

7:12 pm

we are watching carebears movie on tv (bringing me back to watching with my daughter umpteen years ago) and i'm trying to babble while watching with them and listening to my hilarious 19 month old grandson talking nonstop!

7:12 pm

redturtlehead

I got a few this time! down to 14...

7:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

doren did you ever get the chance to check out my class mates restaruent up there? i udnerstand it used to be on th eharvard campus before it moved

7:12 pm

Dorens

no min, i just usually am pretty much finished when i read them... but honestly i always enjoy them
what is the name of the restaurant owl? and hi sue. how is dad doing?

7:13 pm

Dorens

i don't think there has ever been a restaurant ON the campus, but maybe in harvard square?

7:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh heck, you would ask, i have to find it. i unbderstand it used to be upsaitrs on the sqaure then moved

7:14 pm

uusue2

Doren, he's doing really well. Physical therapist came today. He's getting more independent every day (although there are still things he can't do for himself; I worry about how he will manage after I leave)

7:14 pm

Dorens

ok, harvard square sounds more plausible... that isn't the campus.. the campus is harvard yard.. harvard square is the area around it

7:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

7:50 pm

lbdawger

Nell, you'll be addicted to this game like the rest of us in no time!

7:51 pm

negativeneil

There's a word I run into a lot in online word games that's in this puzzle but this site doesn't accept.

7:51 pm

featherbee

(dawg, that's neil, rather than nell!)

7:52 pm

featherbee

babble uses the enable dictionary

7:52 pm

featherbee

which means some words you'd think were proper nouns are accepted, and other words you think SHOULD be accepted are not

7:52 pm

negativeneil

Hmm!

7:53 pm

lbdawger

ooh, i'm sorry, neil. need to clean my glasses!

7:53 pm

hi, Pinkula. It probably is.

7:54 pm

Pinikula

welcome aboard, neil ;)

good luck, weed!

7:55 pm

I dunno if I still have that invitation to there. send me one if you want, featherbee?

7:56 pm

featherbee

7:56 pm

featherbee

i'm not too fond of today's grid here.

7:56 pm

Pinikula

(any clues needed?)

7:57 pm

featherbee

just started a little bit ago, still 75 left. too many vowels.

7:57 pm

negativeneil

I'm not doing too good with this! 34 words.

7:57 pm

Pinikula

y'all can do it!!! I have faith...

7:57 pm

featherbee

nahh, that's good! i've only got 31, and i started it just seconds before you found me

7:58 pm

negativeneil

my bother joined a while ago and completed the one puzzle he did! He said it was a small one though.

7:58 pm

featherbee

yay for him!

7:58 pm

Pinikula

sometimes the smaller ones can be vicious

7:58 pm

negativeneil

I think this one is biting me in the butt already.

7:58 pm

featherbee

i like the ones with lots of er, ed, est endings. they fly by.

7:59 pm

featherbee

i don't like this one.

7:59 pm

Pinikula

y'all are being rather 'negative'! LOL

7:59 pm

featherbee

8:28 pm

8:29 pm

uusue2

ugh, I am so glad I don't get migraines! They sound truly awful. Glad your m-i-l is better.

8:29 pm

stidmama

oh, give the mrs my best -- I am having daily migraines again, but they go away over night and have the decency to respond to regular meds right now

8:29 pm

stidmama

brb phone

8:29 pm

Minveryork

Hi crosshair! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

8:30 pm

crosshair

i try and help my beloved,she says they come with tunnel vision and all hight hurts,but i cannot relate well as i get 3 standard headaches per year and when i do get one they are so foreign to me,it take me a while to figure out what is going on:/

8:30 pm

crosshair

howdy min;))

8:30 pm

crosshair

light

8:30 pm

gapeach

Sitdmama, do you wear sunglasses inside? It helps my migraines.

8:32 pm

EvaNadine

3 a year?
crikey, i get 3 a day!

8:32 pm

crosshair

and she says sound hurts..hell she already has super hearing cause of her poor sight,but add a migraine to the mix and she gets bionic hearing;/

8:33 pm

crosshair

bout 3 a year for me eva

8:33 pm

gapeach

That has to be terrible, corss.

8:33 pm

gapeach

Cross, sorry.

8:34 pm

EvaNadine

ooh. ive only had a few migraines, but they really are horrible. everything hurts, and you cant get comfortable enough to sleep.

8:34 pm

crosshair

i get her in the bedroom with dim lighting and she can use the e-reader to read quiety or i put a cold cloth on her head and she can nap in peace and quiet

8:34 pm

EvaNadine

i can only recommend Excedrin migraine medicine and there are also strips you can put on the forehead that tingle kinda like ben-gay. they sorta distract a bit...

8:36 pm

crosshair

i am told many women 'age" out of migraines when they get 50+ but we will have to see

8:37 pm

stidmama

it's Mother... we were resizing her icon

8:37 pm

stidgmere

With the help of Stidmama perhaps this works. Small problem compared to others.

8:37 pm

uusue2

somehow that sounds very funny, stid...

8:38 pm

stidmama

sometimes I do, peach, but the migraines for me are caused by using my eyes... and even sunglasses don't help that! LOL

8:38 pm

uusue2

and stidg, looks good!!

8:39 pm

crosshair

see,i think many of my wifes migraines are caused by her poor vision and her chronic eye disease

8:39 pm

gapeach

Bless your heart, stid.

8:39 pm

stidmama

okay. that's good.

8:39 pm

Trifioso

hello dear friends

8:39 pm

8:39 pm

crosshair

howdy trif;))

8:40 pm

uusue2

Hi, trif!

8:40 pm

Trifioso

howdy crossy love. You are SUCH a lovely, caring partner to your dear wife. how lucky she is!

8:40 pm

Trifioso

hello sue

8:40 pm

Minveryork

Hello Trifioso! How are you? Welcome to the chat log.

8:40 pm

stidmama

I didn't realize she had eye problems, cross. My love to you both. My own eyes are not likely to get worse at this point, just not likely to get better.

8:40 pm

stidmama

hey trifioso!

8:41 pm

Trifioso

min! how nice to see you! it's been a long while. and hello stid, and family....

8:41 pm

stidmama

oh my, there is a CDC measles alert... an airplane passenger was on three different planes and three different airports this week.

8:41 pm

crosshair

with artificial lenses and cataracts removed,and twice yearly laser treatments we are holding her vision at 20/400 and we thank god for that much

8:42 pm

Trifioso

what does that mean, crossy, 20/400. one eye is worse than the other, yes?

8:42 pm

crosshair

measles? well most of us have been immunized for that i hope,ir had it once as children

8:42 pm

stidmama

well, that is at least something. that means she is VERY near-sighted in both eyes, trifioso

8:42 pm

crosshair

20/400 is the top letter on the eye chart only

8:43 pm

crosshair

but with the marvel of e-readers she can read and i have s special set up on her computer ..we are fortunate

8:43 pm

stidmama

My tom is worse than that without his glasses. He's pretty much a lights and color and fuzzy shapes vision when uncorrected.

8:44 pm

stidmama

With his glasses, he is pretty close to 20/20

8:44 pm

Minveryork

FYI: I got a story of clues about the Oscars in profile

8:45 pm

crosshair

glasses do not help my beloved,she gets growths on the back side of the lens that flatten it over time,hence the laser to keep it at a 20/400 level

8:46 pm

stidmama

that's rough. Progressive things suck.

8:46 pm

stidmama

Thanks Min!!!

8:46 pm

Minveryork

yw

8:46 pm

crosshair

but i show her all of nature i can in the summer we are lucky here on the shores of georgian bay at the base of blue mtn,i take the time and let her see all the be and she is spared a detailed look at my ugly mug;))auty around us,while she still can...

8:47 pm

crosshair

beauty of nature*

8:47 pm

Jillyjill

back and needing clue for pi4/5

8:47 pm

Trifioso

again,crossy, I am so impressed by your love and devotion

8:47 pm

stidmama

Yep. she is one lucky lady to have you around.

8:47 pm

Trifioso

I have one, jilly - pi and I am ** impressed by crossy

8:47 pm

uusue2

like the leaning tower, jill, except with a different vowel at the end

8:48 pm

crosshair

she is the rock i lean on when my cancers flare,i am her walking stilck to guide her when her eyes dim

8:48 pm

uusue2

Yes, crossy is a true gem.

8:48 pm

crosshair

we are one

8:48 pm

stidmama

that's spanish for floor, I think Jilly

8:48 pm

Jillyjill

ty uusue and crossy

8:49 pm

Trifioso

you have a brother somewhere that needs a good woman, crossy? lol

8:49 pm

stidmama

LOL trifioso!!

8:49 pm

uusue2

so it is, stid!

8:49 pm

MollyL

Trif...he has a brother that sends him Costa Rican coffee.

8:50 pm

Trifioso

hmmm. a coffee man.....

8:51 pm

MollyL

Trif, that picture in your profile is an award winner.

8:51 pm

crosshair

sorry trif,my brother is spoken for;)

8:51 pm

stidmama

it's funny, sometimes I can still remember what words mean, but feel very inadequate actually trying to speak Spanish any more. My plan is to start reviewing some while I commute for the next student teaching. Which starts in three weeks!!! *bounce bounce* SO excited to do that again.

8:51 pm

crosshair

and i and far from perfect lol

8:51 pm

Trifioso

thanks molly! that's my secondo, and she took the photo her self! she is really, really talented

8:52 pm

Trifioso

in the big version, just her eyes are in color, and it's really, really wicked pissa

8:52 pm

uusue2

Oh wow, stid, that's coming up soon!

8:52 pm

MollyL

You have a talented brood Trif. Wicked pissa and wicked smaht as well.

8:53 pm

Trifioso

thanks molly! LOL I watched "The Fighter" last night, and was DIGGING the accents

8:53 pm

stidmama

yep. and elementary this time. I just don't know where, with whom, or exactly what grade level... so I can't be obsessing about planning lessons (a mixed blessing with my eyes -- a little ability to look ahead now would help later)

8:54 pm

crosshair

no more costa rican coffee,my brother has been moved to las vegas by his work;(

8:54 pm

stidmama

bummer, cross -- but at least he is employed!

8:55 pm

Trifioso

molly, hang on one sec....need an honest opinion

8:55 pm

MollyL

Trif, I have a friend who says that every time he watches "The Depahted" his Boston resurrects. : D

8:56 pm

stidmama

Molly -- did the rest of the trees stay upright?

8:56 pm

Trifioso

okay, molly, please check my icon now. Secondo can't decide which photo to enter in an upcoming show. what do you think of this one?

8:56 pm

crosshair

the little snot make crazy money doing security for a internet poker site;P

8:56 pm

MollyL

Most of them Stid. I am a tree lover and it hurts my heart to see them fall over like that.

8:57 pm

stidmama

I hear that. We have some wind coming through and it reminded me to ask... I don't think it will be enough to knock anything over though -- it's frozen ground now, not soggy.

9:01 pm

uusue2

OK, all, I am going to bed. See you tomorrow!

9:01 pm

Trifioso

ugh. I have 17 left, and haven't entered a word in about 20 minutes. I think maybe I am done

9:01 pm

stidgmere

Well, this is as much as I have time for now. Hope everyone has pleasant evenings!

9:01 pm

Trifioso

good night sue!

9:01 pm

stidmama

down to 24. I am taking a break

9:01 pm

stidmama

sweet dreams sue

9:02 pm

stidmama

see you (and Murphy) tomorrow Mother -- we'll post a pic of him then!

9:02 pm

MollyL

Wow...can she enter them both? I think I'm partial to the first one. There is something about all that expression of hers just coming out of one eye.

9:02 pm

Trifioso

molly, are you still here?

9:02 pm

Jillyjill

niters sue!

9:02 pm

Trifioso

ah, there you are! thanks. I am not sure how many she can enter in total, but there is a limit of only one per category, and these would come under portraits

9:03 pm

MollyL

She obviously has a good feel for her own work. I have a feeling she will "know" which one to enter. Amazing stuff Trif. Thanks for sharing it.

9:04 pm

Trifioso

thanks for looking, molly!

9:04 pm

MollyL

It is a HUGE smile for me to see the work of talented young ones.

9:04 pm

stidmama

brb phone. a friend who talks long. back tomorrow *poof*

9:05 pm

Trifioso

I am partial to the photo she took of Indy (it's on my flicr page, under my profile). Hopefully that one she can enter in a pet category or something, and not under portrait!

9:06 pm

MollyL

The puppy one with the blue in his eyes showing?

9:07 pm

MollyL

Or the one where his eyes look brown?

9:08 pm

Trifioso

the one where his eyes look brown.

9:16 pm

lbdawger

9:17 pm

lbdawger

9:17 pm

MollyL

Have you read the books?

9:17 pm

gapeach

Now, where are you lbdawger, I've forgotten.

9:18 pm

gapeach

Y'all have had a rough winter, haven't you?

9:18 pm

lbdawger

lol feather

9:19 pm

lbdawger

it's been bitterly cold this winter.

9:21 pm

Jillyjill

heavy on the bitterly cold....

9:24 pm

lbdawger

especially these last couple of weeks!

9:24 pm

Jillyjill

Yep, tonight I'm in fleece from head to toe, under a blanket babbling...lol

9:24 pm

lbdawger

did you get a lot of snow out of this storm, jilly?

9:25 pm

lbdawger

i've got the fleece on, but not in bed yet.

9:25 pm

Jillyjill

Still just a few inches on the ground. Not nearly what 'they' promised...how about you?

9:25 pm

Jillyjill

I'm not in bed, on the couch....

9:26 pm

lbdawger

it snowed again this afternoon, but not much certainly not the 6-8 inches

9:27 pm

Jillyjill

Some roads pretty icy...

9:27 pm

crosshair

going to warm all the way up to plus 5 c -about 38f tomorrow,a veritable heat wave for us;)

9:28 pm

Jillyjill

Same here, it actually got to 20 degrees today, only 10 yesterday

9:30 pm

Manatee-$5

wait, so everyone here that has an account picture had to pay for i

9:30 pm

Manatee-$5

t

9:30 pm

Jillyjill

yep, lifetime amount...WELL worth it

9:31 pm

crosshair

when you pay the 14 dollars for a lifetime membership you get a few perks,but it is well woth it

9:31 pm

Jillyjill

okay, monkeys exhausted and I refuse to beat them, but am stumped on last word...WO4/10

9:31 pm

Manatee-$5

okey-doke. I don't think I will get one, though. I mean, you get to play anyway without one

9:31 pm

Jillyjill

But without some of the helps

9:31 pm

Manatee-$5

so how is everybody

9:32 pm

lbdawger

but you wont have the stats to follow

9:32 pm

Jillyjill

good, welcome to babble manatee

9:32 pm

Jillyjill

wo4/10?

9:32 pm

Manatee-$5

ah. Thanks for the advice, jillyjill. I don't know that word, either

9:33 pm

gapeach

jilly, childhood poly *** + pl.

9:34 pm

Minveryork

That wo 4/10 word is polly wo** Jillyjill.

9:34 pm

Jillyjill

hmmmm, not getting clue....

9:35 pm

Minveryork

wo 4/10 rhymes with ants on a *** plus a snake letter.

9:36 pm

Jillyjill

is it in your story?

9:36 pm

Minveryork

a polly*** is a kind of tadpole if that U helps out Jillyjill

9:36 pm

Minveryork

No, I did not use that word in my story today Jillyjill.

9:37 pm

Jillyjill

*slap* *SLAP*

9:37 pm

Jillyjill

embarassing

9:37 pm

Jillyjill

anyway...fw

9:39 pm

Manatee-$5

minveryork, since you seem to be very good at giving hints, can you give me one for one of the 7-letter ones

9:40 pm

Jillyjill

plural the mi6/24

9:40 pm

Jillyjill

there's only one 7

9:40 pm

Manatee-$5

what do you mean by "plural at the mi624"

9:41 pm

Manatee-$5

sorry, I'm very new to this

9:41 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations Jillyjill on fireworks! Hooray for you!

9:41 pm

Magyk

wtg Jilly!!

9:41 pm

lbdawger

whooooo hooooooo JILLY!!

9:41 pm

Minveryork

mi 7/36: plural of a mi**** collision between two planes

9:41 pm

Jillyjill

take the mi6/24 and add a consonant to make it plural...we call it a snake letter

9:42 pm

lbdawger

and welcome manatee to babble!

9:42 pm

Minveryork

Manatee-$5, did you read my story of clues in profile?

9:42 pm

Manatee-$5

thanks, lbdawger. Wait, what does "mi 7/36" mean

9:42 pm

Jillyjill

manatee, I played for about a year without paying, but never could finish a grid...so I paid, makes things much nicer

9:43 pm

Jillyjill

mi is first two letters, then the number of letters/point value

9:43 pm

Manatee-$5

ah. Still, though, I just don't think that the $15 is worth it.

9:43 pm

Manatee-$5

Oh, thanks. I'll remember that.

9:44 pm

crosshair

i played for exactly 3 days ,then paid the 11 dollar to go pro lol

9:44 pm

Jillyjill

well, crossy, I am much denser than you...;)

9:44 pm

Minveryork

Oh it is SO worth it! It's 15.00 for a lifetime of Babble with extra perks like the fireworks and the tile stats.

9:45 pm

crosshair

lol jilly,i am as thick as a brick

9:45 pm

lbdawger

you may change your mind, especially if you get addicted to it like the rest of us.

9:45 pm

Jillyjill

The price of one cheap dinner out and you can babble for the rest of your life!!

9:45 pm

Minveryork

Waited a year before I went pro,but finally made the plunge. Howevever,I'm still not a pro babbler, not yet

9:45 pm

crosshair

i am totally lost when babble is down for the day

9:46 pm

Jillyjill

You are too humble minv...

9:46 pm

Jillyjill

I miss everyone if I can't play

9:47 pm

Minveryork

I'll never work my way up to the talents of stidmama, Jacula, Gremlinn, Jillibus, & many other babblers here

9:48 pm

Minveryork

Everytime internet goes out or my power,I think "No Babble!" & then immediately go into withdrawal mode.

9:48 pm

Bugsaw

It gets harder after the first couple of weeks Manatee. I needed the Tile and Word stats to help me know how well I was doing and they disappear.

9:48 pm

Jillyjill

You have a point there minv...I could NEVER do a grid without a list (if lickety is down).

9:49 pm

Manatee-$5

they disappear?

9:49 pm

Jillyjill

yep when the trial is over

9:49 pm

Minveryork

Hello Bugsaw!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

9:49 pm

Jillyjill

HI there bugs!

9:49 pm

Magyk

evening all

9:49 pm

Minveryork

They all disappear after your trial is over Manatee-$5

9:49 pm

Bugsaw

yup. Hi Minveryork. I think you are being too hard on yourself here

9:50 pm

Minveryork

Hello Magyk! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

9:50 pm

Jillyjill

((magyk))

9:50 pm

Manatee-$5

oh...then I might end up getting a membership

9:50 pm

Bugsaw

I was lurking looking for my last 13 but I wanted to encourage Manatee to consider joining the group.

9:50 pm

Magyk

((jillyjill))

9:50 pm

Jillyjill

That reminds me minv, it is always wonderful to enter the grid when ur on to welcome me!

9:50 pm

Magyk

how is everyone tonight?

9:50 pm

gapeach

Manatee, you have stumbled upon a great group of people here....take my word for it....however if you would rather not pay the small amount to get the goodies, then perhaps you may want to look elswhere.

9:51 pm

Magyk

I agree Jilly!!

9:51 pm

gapeach

And perhaps I should learn to spell. lol

9:51 pm

Minveryork

Thanks Jillyjill.I think that is the only thing I am good at here; wlecoming people.It makes up for my lack of babble skills. I like to think I am improving day by day

9:52 pm

Jillyjill

remember, spelling is optional in chat... ;)

9:52 pm

Pinikula

(back...is it time for flip yet?)

9:52 pm

Jillyjill

Don't forget your stories minv

9:52 pm

Minveryork

At first I thought, why pay if I can play for free? But it really is not the same as babbling with a pro status.

9:53 pm

Jillyjill

rofl....wishful thinking pini..i will be in bed @ flip

9:53 pm

Manatee-$5

ah, I'll remember that "gapeach1066". I didn't realize that the Babble group is actually close. I thought it was similair to something like YouTube chatting where you never know.

9:53 pm

Magyk

Oh Min, you're wonderful! I look forward to talking with you every time I babble!

9:53 pm

Manatee-$5

Do you guys know Mark Jones?

9:53 pm

Pinikula

oooh, a newbie among us! :)

9:53 pm

gapeach

Not at all.

9:53 pm

Jillyjill

yes

9:53 pm

Pinikula

welcome aboard ;)

9:53 pm

Magyk

((Pini))

9:53 pm

Jillyjill

in the babble frame that is mannatee

9:53 pm

lbdawger

yes, mark frequents this haunt quite often

9:54 pm

Minveryork

I've seen him here before, but he does not chat much

9:54 pm

Manatee-$5

ah. Yes, he got me to join. I live near him. We travel country to country all the time, (or at least his status does).

9:55 pm

Bugsaw

see? Mark is so addicted he got you to join! Resistance is futile!

9:56 pm

Minveryork

Thank you for the compliment Magyk. Wish I saw you here more often though.Babble time has been limited since we're down to 1 computer that I have to share.

9:56 pm

Jillyjill

*waving pendulum*...manatee..you...will...join
....

9:57 pm

Pinikula

9:57 pm

Jillyjill

9:58 pm

lbdawger

you're meeting the sillier of the group right now, Manatee

9:58 pm

Jillyjill

I love your icon magyk!

9:58 pm

Minveryork

Manatee-$5,if you go pro,you can choose to have an icon of your choice. There's a daily icon theme as well

9:58 pm

Manatee-$5

9:58 pm

Magyk

9:59 pm

Jillyjill

9:59 pm

Minveryork

9:59 pm

Manatee-$5

9:59 pm

lbdawger

Minveryork

Do you guys think Manatee-$5 is also a teen. I didn't think so. Also didn't know Mark Jones was a teenager

10:06 pm

Jillyjill

We were chatting one night and he told me that

10:06 pm

lil*monkey

10:06 pm

Minveryork

Just ordered 2 boxes of Girl Scout cookies; samoas & thin mints, they are the best! I LOVE those cookies!

They're everywhere! At the Food Lion, at the Wawa, at the bank

10:09 pm

Minveryork

I didn't order any last year and was so jealous when I saw people around me getting them.I wish they were available all year round. Did you know they have Girl Scout cookies ice cream? Think they have samoas ice cream flavor. Definitely have to try that out as well.

10:09 pm

Pinikula

Sadly, I just can't seem to part with the amount of money a box costs and then eat in 30 seconds! :/

10:09 pm

Magyk

Pini, I have a homemade samoas recipe...

10:09 pm

Jillyjill

I LOVE WAWA's lil, they are the best!! Trying to get our state gas station to step up to their level!!

I'm the same way Min. I'm a stickler for grammar

10:37 pm

Minveryork

Oh me too!I so hate terrible grammer.Which reminds me,I made up a poem about double negatives. Let me see if I can find it when I put it on FB. *be right back*

10:38 pm

stidmama

and down to 11 and my eyes are hurting. thanks again for the help, a much better finish today than yesterday. (((hugs all))) see you-all tomorrow probably! *poof*

10:39 pm

Minveryork

I hate double negatives, I really do!
Theyâ€™re wrong to say for me and you.
A double negative is not good English.
They should go away, I really do wish.
Every time I hear one, I want to scream.
It isnâ€™t proper grammar, do you know what I mean?
So please people, donâ€™t use them anymore.
Kick those double negatives out the door!

10:39 pm

Magyk

g'night stidmama!

10:39 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye stidmama! I will see you tomorrow in the log.

10:39 pm

Magyk

Yay Min! I love it!

10:41 pm

Minveryork

Thanks

10:42 pm

Magyk

It irks me to grade papers where students have written u instead of you and 2 instead of to. "My mom lets me do it" is almost always the excuse!

10:47 pm

Magyk

Oh, I've killed the chog. Well, I should go. Need a cuppa tea and a warm blanket. G'night babblers!

10:48 pm

Minveryork

My husband has the WORST grammar!I am correcting him all of the time! He does not know how to use the past perfect tense versus the perfect tense Magyk.

10:48 pm

Magyk

You and I are very much alike Min. :)

10:49 pm

Minveryork

Actually,hubby doesn't get any of the perfect tenses.

10:50 pm

Magyk

Fortunately, Patrick has wonderful grammar and no so bad spelling. Although he seems to double check with me.

10:51 pm

Minveryork

He also says me and John went to the store not John and I. Sad thing is,I work with teachers who also talk the same way. It's like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.

10:52 pm

Magyk

I agree. It's hard to say anything without coming off as rude, too.

10:56 pm

Minveryork

I can say anything to my husband. I have no problem being rude to him.

10:57 pm

tijani

ps5/12 please

10:57 pm

Magyk

Haha!! Well, Min,, I should say goodnight. It's midnight. Still need to do my evening yoga. It was wonderful talking with you. I do hope to do so again soon. :)

11:01 pm

Minveryork

11:01 pm

Minveryork
