1:36 am

jillibus

Hello babblers

1:38 am

flosey

hi jilli

1:39 am

flosey

how was your game?

1:40 am

jillibus

we got the cards -- but what a night for driving there! Thank god that's over!

1:40 am

flosey

oh yes, in the rain, and so dark out there

1:40 am

jillibus

I was so grateful for that GPS!

1:40 am

flosey

I bet you were

1:40 am

jillibus

rain and fog patches too

1:41 am

flosey

oh yes, fog is bad by the lake

1:42 am

flosey

hope she had a bridge table! we played on the diningroom table there, which was a bit of a reach

1:42 am

jillibus

fog was all over the place

1:43 am

flosey

ah, was out this afternoon, but home before supper

1:43 am

jillibus

she had a bridge table but we played in the kitchen -- her hubby was installing a washing machine

1:43 am

flosey

I can hear the fog horns now! hadn't noticed before

1:45 am

flosey

did that create a bit of commotion?

1:45 am

jillibus

but the decks of cards were weird -- either huge numbers and sticky old things, or what we changed to -- regular size cards but ith little stories about Canada instead of the regular dots and pictures

1:45 am

flosey

oh, that is distracting!

1:47 am

flosey

makes you feel like taking a couple of decks with you when you go to some homes!

1:51 am

jillibus

the washing machine thing only lasted a while at the outset -- Jane had been helping -- be we played in the kitchen because hubby was home.

1:52 am

jillibus

*but we played...

1:52 am

flosey

you know, it's funny, I read it as you intended!

1:52 am

flosey

missed the error until you corrected!

1:53 am

jillibus

anyway, AH is over, thank goodness. I've enjoyed playing with Gisela but that'a over too, regrettably.

1:53 am

flosey

oh, is Gisela not playing next year?

1:54 am

flosey

this is my last - and mean it this time

1:55 am

jillibus

we both decided not to play next year

1:55 am

flosey

ah, I do enjoy most of the games but it's such a nuisance getting the 4 people together

1:57 am

jillibus

same here

flosey

1:59 am

flosey

2:00 am

jillibus

ru is getting to be a real speed demon

2:05 am

flosey

out to beat Dart

2:05 am

flosey

that glitch is starting to last much longer!

2:06 am

flosey

that was 5 minutes

2:12 am

jillibus

yes, I've noticed that lately -- good oppotunity to check email or something

2:12 am

jillibus

guys are so competitive!

2:12 am

flosey

true

2:12 am

jillibus

part of their dna I guess

2:12 am

2:55 am

herinfernallady

Hi and thank you Jill

2:55 am

jillibus

hi herin -- glad somebody saw it!

2:56 am

herinfernallady

http://tinyurl.com/47y86h9 This is Amanda Palmer covering Ted Egan's The Drovers boy. I know the quality isn't great but I tell you what the entire theatre when I saw her sing it you could hear a pin drop

3:01 am

dizgrannie

thanx for the link, jilli, twas wonderful...xxx

3:02 am

jillibus

you're very welcome, diz -- glad you enjoyed it. It even made me gulp a bit, on behalf of my Aussie grandparents and cousins.

3:03 am

rubyfoo

good morning everybody

3:03 am

rubyfoo

the x word was first, I remembered it from ca couple of days ago

3:03 am

rubyfoo

how are you dizgrannie?

3:04 am

jillibus

The Drover's Boy has a haunting tune but I couldn't make out the words much. Not familiar with the song, I'm afraid.

3:04 am

jillibus

hi ruby

3:05 am

herinfernallady

HI Ruby

3:05 am

rubyfoo

3:06 am

herinfernallady

Jill it is about a Drover and the death of his ''boy''

3:06 am

jillibus

ah, got the 9 -- nbs at last -- and 65 left for tomorrow. It's bedtime for moi.

3:07 am

herinfernallady

The boy was actually a woman survivor from a camp

3:07 am

jillibus

I'll google it, herin.

3:08 am

jillibus

Sounds like some Australian history I know nothing about :-(

3:09 am

jillibus

So farewell all, and happy babbling...*poof*

3:09 am

herinfernallady

http://tinyurl.com/4jponyk Website about half down

3:17 am

jillibus

*back again -- I did google and found this Ted Egan version: http://tinyurl.com/47y86h9

3:18 am

herinfernallady

Yes he is the original writer and singer. Amanda Palmer was breath taking

3:26 am

jillibus

Thanks for the history clip, which I've bookmarked. My Australian Granny gave me a book when I was four, which I still have: "The Little Black Princess" by Mrs Aeneas Gunn. One of my Australian cousins remembers actually meeting her.

3:26 am

jillibus

Mrs Gunn, I mean, not the Princess!

3:27 am

jillibus

And now I must go to bed -- goodnight all again..*repoof*

6:26 am

sprite

hehehe thanks :) How are you today?

6:26 am

FMitch

I hope you are well this fine and sunny Saturday?

6:27 am

FMitch

Am feeling pretty good, sun makes all the difference.

6:27 am

sprite

am not altogether well, but slept as a baby last night, with good dreams to boot, so am a lot better than yesterday :)

6:28 am

FMitch

A good sleep is worth it's weight in gold.

6:28 am

FMitch

I woke up and thought hmm it must be time to get get up but the clock said 2.15am so rolled over and got up at 6.

6:29 am

sprite

we don't have sun today, it is a dark day.
Oh good you could get back to sleep :)

6:30 am

FMitch

I have trained myself over a long period of time to go back to sleep.
I will send you some of our sun and springish weather (it is +7) yay!

6:31 am

sprite

oh lovely! And enjoy, FM. Sounds like a good day to charge up the batteries.

6:31 am

FMitch

You will enjoy the grid today and should finish it fairly quickly, it is a fun one.

6:31 am

sprite

thanks :) It is fun so far for sure.

6:32 am

FMitch

HAve you spotted the x is the same as yesterday yet?

6:33 am

sprite

yes :) The rather mystical repeat of grid words shortly after one another.

6:34 am

FMitch

I am sure I will have forgotten it by the next time it crops up!
Hows the family doing and Terra too of course?

6:35 am

sprite

family is fine! Terra didn't want to eat this morning, but has finished his bowl now. Otherwise he seems fine.

6:36 am

Soodle

Hello (((Sprite))) (((FM))))

6:36 am

sprite

hi Soodle :)

6:36 am

FMitch

How old are the kids now I forget, I am sure they must be growing up so fast.

Soodle!!!!!! great to see you!

6:37 am

FMitch

All well in your world Soodle?

6:37 am

sprite

tim will be 15 end of May, and Caya has turned 13 last month. It is amazing how fast they grow up. And I still like them most of the time :)
Love them all the time of course, though that is not the same thing ;)

6:37 am

Soodle

Like yourself, FM, the sun is shining here, and although I didn't win Euromillions (again) - all is well!

6:38 am

sprite

hehehe in dutch we have a saying: either lucky in love or lucky in the game... meaning you cannot have both. So you must be lucky in love, Soodle. That is the best part *hugs*

6:38 am

FMitch

lol Soodle.
15 and 13 oh my, well I guess as we have been babbling so long I remember them being just kids.

6:39 am

Soodle

Yikes, plenty of hormones chez Sprite!

6:39 am

Soodle

How are you, FM?

6:40 am

sprite

7 years already, FM! They were 7 and 5 back then, aboutish.

6:40 am

sprite

oh yes, Soodle, hormones aplenty. Back in a bit, need to hang up laundry.

6:40 am

FMitch

Pretty good thanks Soodle, v happy at the longer days and above freezing temps.

6:41 am

FMitch

and of course the clocks go forward at the end of the month. Am already making plaing plans for the garden.

6:41 am

Soodle

And the daffodils..... don't forget the daffodils! They are on the point of blooming here. Its been a long winter!

6:41 am

FMitch

*planting plans even!

6:42 am

FMitch

My minature ones are already flowering the standards - probably about another 4 days.

6:43 am

MollyL

Good morning Spring lovers. I was just watering my tomato and green pepper seedlings.

FMitch

Good morning springy Molly :)

6:43 am

Soodle

Hey MollyO. :-)

6:44 am

Soodle

Aargh. Just got the 'Low-Battery' warning. I better go... Have a great day everybody. 'Poof'

6:44 am

FMitch

I really really hate the winter it really brings me do4/9 but as soon as spring starts to show itself then I start to bounce.

6:45 am

FMitch

Byeee

6:45 am

MollyL

Looks like a rainy weekend here. But this is the time of year I know that it's good for the growing things, so I don't mind so much. And rain on the weekends is easier than rain on work days.

6:45 am

FMitch

so true Molly. I can't wait to get stuck into the garden now that the soil is starting to warm up.

6:47 am

FMitch

7:42 am

I remember a friend of mine had a laughing, gurgling baby as a ringtone when a friend of us died. We spent so much time in the hospital and the baby sound incited smiles all the time, even though we were so sad.

7:44 am

that wasn't supposed to be a stopper. It was actually very beautiful. A happy sound that reminded of life :)

8:12 am

oh dear, lol! You know, when I just started on the internet, someone asked me if I wanted to cyber with him. I didn't know what it was, asked a friend, and the friend advised me to say: "Sure, at about 5 am tomorrow morning. If I am not there, start without me."

8:13 am

the hi8 carcass sat on the taxidermist's table, the hi4 awaiting stuffing.

8:18 am

Mr Bob

Good morning all

8:18 am

welki

annie, i saw yesterday that you found shoes .. tell me what kind, please

8:19 am

Anniebrook

welki, wow, that is weather!

8:19 am

sprite

morning MrBob

8:19 am

NonoNanette

morning Mr Bob

8:19 am

Anniebrook

annie, I was at Easy Spirit and found a loafer in my odd size, 9 1/2 WW

8:20 am

Anniebrook

I had ordered the shoes on line and was returning them and the store had WW and they did not have it online. I have a terrible time finding shoes that do not hurt.

8:20 am

welki

maybe that player changed his name .. can't find him in 'rankings'

8:21 am

welki

me too, annie.

8:21 am

sprite

same here, Annie

8:21 am

uusue2

morning, all!

8:22 am

sprite

hi uusue, morning

8:22 am

NonoNanette

mornign sue

8:22 am

Anniebrook

sometimes I think I am the only one that has such an awful time finding shoes. My friend told me about a place in the city. I will go in ne4 week or so.

8:22 am

Anniebrook

hi sue

8:23 am

uusue2

Annie, I have a terrible time with shoes also, although my problem is the opposite one - my feet are very long and narrow, and flat.

8:23 am

welki

me, i'm falling apart .. even my feet. plantar fasciitis, achilles tendonitis and heel spurs

8:23 am

Anniebrook

oh dear, welki, I have peripheral neuropathy

8:23 am

sprite

awful, welki :(

8:24 am

welki

BUT ... i'm hoping that things will start improving soon. i've just been diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnea. turns out things just can't heal if you're not getting enough oxygen/deep sleep

8:24 am

Anniebrook

welki, there is a store in New York that deals with "problem" feet. Eneslow is the name...perhaps you can buy shoes online

8:24 am

uusue2

glad they found that out, welki!

8:24 am

welki

'course it involves going to sleep looking like an android. next test in a few weeks and then machine shopping

8:25 am

welki

i'll be in jersey in may, may be worth a trip, annie

8:26 am

Anniebrook

welki, it might be worth the trip...they are on Park Avenue South and 32nd Street

8:26 am

Anniebrook

and good luck with the tests, welki

8:27 am

welki

hehe, when i went for my first follow-up (after the home test), the doc looked at me and said, 'i'm REALLY glad you came back' he said that severe OSA is when someone stops breathing over 30 times/hr. i stop an average of 54 times/hr and my O2 levels drop to 62 (average 86 when it should be over 90 - )

8:28 am

welki

had a pulmonary function and blood gas test yesterday .. O2 sats are much better during the day, 93 average

8:28 am

welki

downside is that nothing is covered by insurance, not even on my extended insurance

8:29 am

Anniebrook

welki, now that you are taking charge of your breathing you will start to feel better...

8:29 am

welki

(as she monopolizes the chat)

8:29 am

Anniebrook

welki, crossy has sleep apnea..ask him about insurance coverage (that's a shame it should be covered)

8:30 am

gramma

welki, I wear a snuffleupagus machine at night. It took me a long time to get the right one; but, man is it worth the effort. It's great!

8:30 am

welki

he's in a different province .. one that covers a portion of the testing/equipment

8:31 am

welki

here in alberta, it's soooo dry .. i'd like one with a humidifer

8:31 am

crosshair

machines come in 3 cost levels here 750 for cheap,1400 for mid level and 2200 for top of line.here govt covered 700 and i had to pay 1000,do not get the cheap machine (i stop breathing 40 to 60 times a night without)

8:31 am

welki

he was lurking .. cheeky bugger

8:31 am

Anniebrook

there he is!

8:31 am

welki

alberta health doesn't cover anything

8:32 am

welki

i don't care, though .. i need it, i'll manage and i'll get the best i can. i've been feeling crappy long enough

8:32 am

crosshair

and if you see molly tell her i am sorry fit my comment the other day,had a bad real life day and was uncalled for

8:32 am

sprite

back again, seems I am having trouble with the connection. Hiya crossy!

8:33 am

crosshair

howdy sprite;)

8:33 am

welki

i was looking for you the last couple of days, crossy .. had so many questions

8:33 am

uusue2

crossy, you are a true gentleman :-)

8:33 am

welki

sorry you had a bad day, crossy .. things better now?

8:33 am

crosshair

fighting the good fight;)

8:33 am

Anniebrook

molly is probably in the PB putting away snacks for us all

8:33 am

welki

gramma, what was difficult about finding the right one? the mask? the machine?

8:34 am

Anniebrook

(((crossy))) we heart you

8:34 am

sprite

*hugs* crossy. Nothing like you, and Molly may be around still.

8:34 am

crosshair

fitting is all important welki

8:34 am

welki

(and i love that gramma calls it the snuffleupagus machine ... will save that for when grandkids are around!)

8:34 am

crosshair

i have a full mmask,some prefer a nose mask

8:34 am

uusue2

nbt :-)

8:34 am

crosshair

((annie))

8:35 am

gramma

I have the nose one because they couldn't fit me properly with the full one

8:35 am

crosshair

and the machine setting is critical,mine is set for an 8 on the pressure

8:36 am

welki

i'm doing an in-lab overnighter in a few weeks .. he wants to compare the results of daytime function to the funky stuff that happens at night, says that my charts are so weird as to make him think that my machine needs something more than auto-fine tuning .. he called me "complicated" hahahaha, nothing new

8:36 am

crosshair

and to be honest,my machine and i fight back and forth all night,it is not comfortable for me;(

8:36 am

crosshair

i did lab 3 times

8:36 am

gramma

They all say that. I think it's to justify the expense.

8:37 am

gramma

Me too, crossy

8:37 am

welki

i asked why he just doesn't send me home with an auto-setting until the next sleep study .. he said he wanted to make sure i don't have ANY bad experiences with a machine that may turn me off to using one .... so maybe crossy, you and your machine need to be re-acquainted

8:37 am

crosshair

my risk of heart attack and stroke was too high to do without one

8:38 am

welki

gramma, i thought that too (and to some degree, still do) -- but when he shows you the results, it's hard not to say YES YES YES to any recommendation he makes

8:38 am

crosshair

mine is set correct now welki,it just takes training(on my part)

8:39 am

gramma

No I meant we're all complicated cases.

8:39 am

crosshair

you always need to use the "ramp up" button,it gradually increases the pressure to the setting your dr chose

8:40 am

welki

that's what i meant, too, gramma (we hear "complicated" and jump right on the CPAP bandwagon because we're afraid ... when it really might be a grab for money. i hate thinking like that, though)

8:40 am

uusue2

phantom: lesion

8:40 am

crosshair

correct breathing at night affects you in so many ways,it does not matter,pay him the extra visit

8:40 am

welki

...so will give doc benefit of doubt and consider that, over the years, i have thrown away more money on less

8:41 am

welki

^5 crossy

8:42 am

sprite

and a doctor would be at fault if he did not tell you what he thought, even if it means an extra visit. Benefit of the doubt is a good way to go, i think. It is your health. Nothing can be more important.

8:42 am

crosshair

it also affects ..mmm...intimate performance,and that could not be allowed to continue

8:43 am

uusue2

ah, the ultimate motivation :-)

8:43 am

sprite

quality of life, crossy, very important :)

8:44 am

crosshair

indeed sprite

8:44 am

crosshair

my risk of stroke was increased 52% without it...amazing!

8:46 am

crosshair

so,welki,i know it is 1400 dollars but i recommend the mid level machine,it has a better water resivoir and humidifier than the cheap one

8:47 am

welki

if i came up with the extra 800, would you recommend the most expensive one? why/why not?

8:47 am

crosshair

the most expensive one,just gets smaller and more compact imho

8:47 am

crosshair

half the size and portable

8:47 am

welki

i travel a lot, so maybe it's a possibility

8:48 am

crosshair

they will explain all the machines in detail to you

8:49 am

crosshair

a big choice will me nose mask vs full mask

8:49 am

crosshair

a full mask is an extra 200

8:49 am

welki

i'm on the cancellation list, have an appt scheduled the 21st, but hope to get in earlier

8:49 am

crosshair

but good if your nise stuff up a lot at night

8:50 am

welki

i'm fairly certain we're talking mask mask mask with me ... i want the hannibal lechter model, my husband wants me to get the darth vader

8:50 am

Hello, Dorens. Spring is in the air sort of ... so is spring flooding ... record high flood levels predicted .... sandbagging anyone?

12:24 pm

Dorens

yo _ monty pythons k**ghts who say **

12:24 pm

crosshair

flood warnings are issued here for the low areas,4-6 inches of rain in the next 24 hours;/

12:25 pm

Dorens

i actually went outside and did about five minutes of gardening.... then remembered that it is still early march, so i'm sure we'll have more snow. flooding near your home babrab?

12:25 pm

EvaNadine

TY dorens.
::back to semi-unconsciousness::

12:25 pm

Dorens

that was supposed to be yo+ k**ghts who say **, sorry evaN yo4 and yo5 plural

12:25 pm

o-o

Yep. The Red River of the North

12:26 pm

Dorens

i'd come lend a hand if it were closer.. i live on top of a hill, the only flooding i get is when my sewer backs up. which it did on tuesday.. pretty sh**ty

12:26 pm

uusue2

Isn't he great, Doren? My stepmom is crazy to leave him (IMHO, of course).

12:27 pm

12:28 pm

Dorens

haha crossy, but you will figure it out. also, it is one of the most hilarious movies

12:28 pm

Dorens

not fargo, holy grail, but then again fargo was a pretty good movie, too!

12:28 pm

crosshair

watched the meaning of life,but never got to the others

12:28 pm

uusue2

Yes, we've been hearing about floods in your neck of the woods. *sends dry thoughts to BR*

12:29 pm

o-o

Fargo, the movie, was a Minnesota flick.

12:29 pm

welki

hi folks

12:29 pm

o-o

I hope the rest of me keeps as dry as my thoughts.

12:30 pm

Dorens

i know (my sister llived in minnesota... love the accent) but still it was the name! you just wrote fargo. i always think of the movie when i see the name, can't help it

12:30 pm

12:34 pm

crosshair

it is going to run right on top of all this snow and ice;((

12:34 pm

Dorens

well the rain we had last week helped to melt the snow piles.. i only have a bit left now

12:34 pm

12:35 pm

weatherbug says it's 63F here now, doren; it's 30F back home so I will have to prepare to adjust :-0

uusue2

12:37 pm

ni + uno dos tres quatro cinco ***s

12:37 pm

Boobear

can't remember that one

12:38 pm

hurshy

geez, my parents are crazy.

12:38 pm

uusue2

how come, hurshy?

12:38 pm

hurshy

i don't know how they got that way :) but i assume you mean what makes me say that...

12:39 pm

uusue2

well, that is what I was wondering, yes, if you want to share... :-)

12:40 pm

hurshy

they both really need individual counseling as well as marriage counseling, and i was just talking to my dad to try to encourage him to get the help he needs, personally, and he said he told mom that he would go if she did and she said no, so he wouldn't.

12:40 pm

hurshy

and i said, but i don't mean marriage counseling, i just mean help with your depressive tendencies

12:40 pm

uusue2

Ah. So sort of like mine, except mine just totally split.

12:41 pm

hurshy

and he said yeah, that's what he meant. and said, i don't understand. i agree that she needs help also but why should that prevent you from getting help??

12:41 pm

Dorens

my parents went many moons ago and it was fine, until the therapist told my mom she had a couple of things to work on... then she was done

12:41 pm

uusue2

Hmmm. Good question.

12:41 pm

Dorens

hursh, sometimes people don't want to look at their own issues

12:42 pm

hurshy

and he said well even if he goes to individual therapy he can't get anywhere because they want to talk about mom and she won't let him.

12:42 pm

bodz

we arnt all nice people who want to sort things out.. its just life...

12:42 pm

bodz

unfortunately

12:42 pm

hurshy

i said what do you mean she won't LET you?? it's not like you're a toddler trying to touch a hot stove, you can't let her tell you that you can't talk about things in therapy that you need to talk about!!!

12:42 pm

uusue2

Well, if it's individual therapy she doesn't have to know what he's talking about - he doesn't have to lie about it but he doesn't necessarily have to share everything either

12:43 pm

hurshy

yeah but she preemptively says not to talk about her cause she doesn't want other people knowing their problems or something.

12:43 pm

hurshy

and i said well just don't listen when she says that!

12:43 pm

crosshair

yes,he does not have to write a report when he gets home

12:43 pm

uusue2

but that can make it tough, when I was married to my previous husband he raised such a stink about me going to therapy that it eventually was less stressful just not to go

12:43 pm

bodz

pointless going then

12:44 pm

hurshy

and they both basically think that the other one is the one who really needs work, and that they personally are doing everything they can, but the other one isn't.

12:44 pm

uusue2

of course then it eventually dawned on me that it would be even less stressful still just not to be married to him, so I am not. And much happier for it. Although I would not recommend this as a universal solution!

12:44 pm

Dorens

that is fairly typical, you know

12:45 pm

hurshy

"oh, well, *I'D* be willing to do such-and-such, but S/HE is the obstacle"

12:45 pm

hurshy

it's so maddening.

12:45 pm

Dorens

you have no idea how often i hear it from parents of students.. it's tiresome, really

12:46 pm

uusue2

ah, yes. This is not an unusual state to be in; doesn't the therapist have any suggestions for how to make progress? (of course, if they're not interested, that makes it tough!)

12:46 pm

crosshair

wife and i thought that,in our 15th year we needed a few visits,some outside insight in the way things were going and how we can alter things for the better before things get out of hand.small changes at first but it is like pebbles rolling down hill,small things led to big changes

12:46 pm

bodz

my last ex was married 3 times before.. i was with her 6 years.. she is about to marry again... it all seems a bit messed up to me :) life is a strange old game

12:47 pm

Dorens

i am increasingly staying at home and not dealing with people at all.. just babbling.. safer

12:47 pm

bodz

i never married her btw.. and i think i did the right thing

12:47 pm

hurshy

there isn't a therapist, uusue, that's the problem!

12:47 pm

bodz

i hear you Dorens.. but you never know what or who is around the next corner :)

12:47 pm

uusue2

sounds like, bodz!

12:48 pm

hurshy

BUT my dad did say he had talked to someone before and that guy was helpful and he was planning to talk to him again but they just hadn't got back going again since his almost-dying thing.

12:48 pm

uusue2

I see - so they can't even agree to get started! That IS frustrating, hurshy!

12:48 pm

Dorens

but they're al crazy, bodz and we'll never get along

12:49 pm

hurshy

so, i just encouraged him to be open to what that guy says an suggests, and not to be so unwilling to try medication if it is recommended and stuff like that. i mean i go to counseling and am working on trying to find meds that will help me, so i feel like i have some grounds to say this, experientially.

12:49 pm

uusue2

ok, well, almost dying does tend to distract one :-/

12:49 pm

Dorens

hurshy then it sounds like he will go back to this guy...

Dorens

12:53 pm

Dorens

12:53 pm

bodz

life changes.. things change.. and it is never that easy even so

12:54 pm

welki

12:54 pm

hurshy

yeah, so that made me feel better, dorens, cause my sister had made it sounds like he wasn't planning to do ANYthing.

12:54 pm

uusue2

lol, welki! There is an art to telling the difference, and I'm not always sure I've mastered it!

12:54 pm

crosshair

life is interesting,but another day on this side of the dirt is a good thing;)

12:54 pm

Dorens

12:55 pm

bodz

12:55 pm

uusue2

12:55 pm

welki

12:55 pm

bodz

into each life a little rain will fall... just hope it is never a monsoon!

12:56 pm

hurshy

and the guy who had been his supervisor recently and stressed him out so much and kinda pissed everyone off, and probably contributed to my dad almost dying of this aortic dissection, well this week dad found out that guy will be gone as of may, so that is a big relief too.

12:56 pm

crosshair

usually you get total understanding and clarity as to the meaning of life in the last 10 minutes,but by that time no one will listen to you;)

12:56 pm

uusue2

Ha! Good to hear that, hurshy!

12:56 pm

hurshy

now how do you know that, crossy? :)

12:56 pm

well i know the answer already hurshy,i am just trying to figure out the question;)

12:57 pm

uusue2

hi, sciencegeek!

12:57 pm

bodz

he has been told :) it doesnt mean anything even if you have been told.. till the last 10 mins :)

12:57 pm

1:10 pm

uusue2

PB for bodz!!

1:10 pm

hurshy

i mean not that proper nouns aren't words. but it's a word that COUNTS in the grid and thus not eligible for NTPN.

1:11 pm

bodz

PB?

1:11 pm

hurshy

PB = penalty box (where you go for saying a word)

1:11 pm

1:23 pm

bodz

;p

1:23 pm

hurshy

ha

1:24 pm

hurshy

i know what you mean but i would rather be overly nice than deal with some of the nasty situations i have gotten into here in the past!

1:25 pm

hurshy

some people are just naturally inclined to take everything in the worst possible interpretation.

1:26 pm

hurshy

so... how's that sixpack going?

1:27 pm

bodz

i never do.. i'm always inclined to apology rather than .. what the hell!!.. just the way i am.. well.. most of the time :)

1:27 pm

hurshy

does the beer make you even more mellow, or the same?

1:27 pm

bodz

i lost half a stone in the last 2 months.. its nearly there.. just need to execise a bit

1:27 pm

uusue2

1:27 pm

OH THAT sixpack!

1:27 pm

hurshy

1:28 pm

bodz

4 beers left

1:28 pm

hurshy

so which sixpack were you mentioning earlier? the beer one or the ab one?

1:29 pm

hurshy

1:29 pm

bodz

i'm at that stage in life where .. umm no other half.. not overweight.. need to exercise.. would like to add to my frame.. and well.. dunno... see what life throws at me

1:29 pm

Kazzer99

i might start on the 6 pack - its a saturday night and i need a drink - prefarably in the bath with a cabana boy massaging my shoulders

Mark Jones

Biscuits!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1:38 pm

bodz

1:38 pm

Glantarell

1:38 pm

hurshy

yep that's it giantarell. they vary a lot really but you have the general idea - sugarless sconish

1:39 pm

Good Enough

biscuits with honey and butter! yum! (no gravy cuz i'm no southerner)

Powermilk biscuits, from Prairie Home Companion

1:42 pm

cathy22w

love this biscuit conversation...and i love mine with the gravy.

1:42 pm

cathy22w

i asked them in red lobster how they make their biscuits... they said it's bisquick. lol

1:42 pm

hurshy

for me it's mostly been learning about factory farm conditions, combined with my high cholesterol. but knowing me, i'm more likely to do it for the animals than for my health, lol

1:42 pm

Glantarell

i've only tried them with gravy - bvery odd experience for a brit LOL

1:42 pm

sciencegeek

biscuits, gravy and snogs

1:43 pm

Shirlockc

no7?

1:43 pm

Good Enough

you can get the red lobster recipe online and yes it uses bisquick

1:43 pm

hurshy

bisquick with a whole lotta cheese and fat i should think, cathy!

1:43 pm

Glantarell

snogs?

1:43 pm

sciencegeek

snogs are sausages

1:43 pm

hurshy

no7 - most loud

1:43 pm

Glantarell

i know what that means in the UK - what does it mean in the US?

1:43 pm

cathy22w

i'd think so too, hurshy! love the cracker barrel ones... alongside the corn muffins. yum.

1:44 pm

hurshy

i'd rather have UK snogs, lol

1:44 pm

Glantarell

ah, here it is slang for kissing - he snogged her

1:44 pm

Glantarell

they are snogging

1:44 pm

hurshy

see i don't do the cornbread thing. never have. don't know why.

1:44 pm

sciencegeek

In the US, snog means something totally different! LOL. I learned snogs from my Aussie friend. She waqs putting snogs on the barbie and I had no idea what a snog was

1:44 pm

sciencegeek

cornbread is the bomb!

1:44 pm

Shirlockc

got the no7, but it's not most loud, it's most snoopy

1:45 pm

bodz

isnt snog a very english word?

1:45 pm

Glantarell

we don't have cornbread either

1:45 pm

hurshy

oops, looked to quickly, sorry shirlock!

1:45 pm

cathy22w

i would make chili with a cornbread mix on the top.. stud it with a few lumps of cheese and bake it. it was good.

1:45 pm

sciencegeek

yummy cathy!

1:45 pm

Kazzer99

biscuits in the US sound bad if you are on a diet

1:45 pm

Glantarell

do you have dumplings in the US?

1:45 pm

sciencegeek

why do we always talk about food on the chog?! LOL

1:46 pm

sciencegeek

we have dumplings in the US, usually with chicken.

1:46 pm

hurshy

they can be, kazzer, but if you do some light drop biscuits made with veg oil (esp smart balance or something), they can be fine.

1:46 pm

sciencegeek

what is an English dumpling?

1:46 pm

hurshy

dumplings.... moan, groan, want dumplings....

1:46 pm

cathy22w

the english dumplings are lighter than the chicken and dumplings in the us

1:46 pm

cosdem

i lovvvvve dumplings

1:46 pm

Glantarell

it is made from flour and suet (vegetarian or animal) and water and sometimes we add herbs

1:46 pm

bodz

dumplings in gravy mmmmmmmm

1:47 pm

Kazzer99

dumplings are a mixture of flour, minced suet, salt and water - you mix it all together and cook it in stew

1:47 pm

Shirlockc

chinese dumplings!

1:47 pm

hurshy

but even in the US dumplings vary a lot. in my house it was basically a biscuit dropped into stew so you didn't have a crusty exterior, but cracker barrel dumplings aren't like that at all.

1:47 pm

Mark Jones

Hi cos!

1:47 pm

Glantarell

we usually cook our dumplings as part of a stew or casserole

1:47 pm

cosdem

hi everyone :)

1:47 pm

Mark Jones

I don't usually eat dumplings.

1:47 pm

sciencegeek

yes for the Chinese dumplings! They are the best

1:47 pm

cosdem

dumplings covered with butter and gravy is a christmas dish for us :)

1:47 pm

cathy22w

love them

1:47 pm

hurshy

i was VERY disappointed when i was eating at the house of a chinese friend who said we would have dumplings and they turned out to be what they were! i'm not so good with new things.

1:48 pm

Glantarell

so what are US dumplings made from?

1:48 pm

Shirlockc

esp. my mom's dumplings! chinese chives and pork!

1:48 pm

Mark Jones

1/2 for me!

1:49 pm

Kazzer99

chinese dumplings can be like a form of dim sum - wrappers with tasty stuffings

1:50 pm

hurshy

can't anything be a form of dim sum? i thought dim sum was just... a meal made up of miscellaneous chinese foods. like tapas.

1:50 pm

Glantarell

anybody clue me for the ne4/7?it's my last n at the toop...

1:51 pm

hurshy

(so by anything i meant anything chinese)

1:51 pm

Glantarell

1:51 pm

hurshy

ne4/7 variant spelling of gullible, innocent

1:51 pm

Glantarell

TY hurshy - i had that spelt with an a

1:52 pm

cosdem

thanks hursh!

1:52 pm

hurshy

yeah that word has almost as many spellings as czar

1:52 pm

hurshy

well, i guess the same number. :)

1:53 pm

Glantarell

the other thing i am struggling with are the an words - I have one for small insects but can't find the others

1:53 pm

Mark Jones

Agreed.

1:53 pm

uusue2

3:35 pm

uusue2

I was originally on an earlier flight but it was cancelled; we didn't move back our drive-to-the-airport time much, though, as dad didn't want to drive home in the dark.

3:41 pm

Soodle

mumble grumble mutter.. I swear... I gain weight just reading the chat on Babble...mumble grumble

3:41 pm

uusue2

Newark airport has these big posts full of outlets, so we can all plug in - I am not running on battery power, so you will all probably be stuck with me until my plane leaves :-)

3:42 pm

sammysmom

and well worth the pounds soodle

3:42 pm

uusue2

But I did finish earlier, so can clue.

hi, molly!

3:47 pm

MollyL

It's my favorite river Soodle. Did you say you were on a diet? Whatever for? If anything, you're looking way too thin these days.

3:48 pm

hurshy

i've heard of up**** and down**** and mid**** and even bean****, but never in****.

3:48 pm

Soodle

I love Molly. I love Molly. I love Molly. I love Molly. (She clearly needs new specs, but...) I love Molly

3:49 pm

uusue2

gee, hurshy, I live right in****.

3:49 pm

hurshy

but wouldn't you have thought that was two words???

3:50 pm

aslindy

oh my goodness... my two kitties who hate each other are sitting only inches apart, beside me

3:50 pm

uusue2

After months of babbling it is clear to me that I do not think like the Babble dictionary. :-)

3:50 pm

sammysmom

in 6/30??

3:50 pm

hurshy

yay for progress in cat truces!

3:50 pm

hurshy

sammysmom... see my below convo with uusue2

3:50 pm

uusue2

that was the word we were talking about, 'smom

3:51 pm

sammysmom

got it

3:51 pm

Soodle

How long will it take you to get home to your own abode, Sue?

3:51 pm

aslindy

I doubt there will be a truce.. they are both too old for that now

3:51 pm

sammysmom

3:51 pm

uusue2

well, let

3:51 pm

3:51 pm

hurshy

pl of 4/7

3:52 pm

uusue2

plural of in4/7

3:52 pm

Soodle

I hope it goes quickly for you Sue... hanging around in airports can be soul-destroying.

3:53 pm

uusue2

That's where my babble buddies come in :-)

3:53 pm

hurshy

why do people think statistics and facts do not apply to themselves?

3:53 pm

uusue2

erm, now what, hurshy?

3:54 pm

hurshy

i keep telling my sister how they proved on mythbusters that driving while talking on a cell phone is as dangerous as driving drunk, but she continues to talk on her phone while driving.

3:55 pm

uusue2

true, hurshy, and it doesn't matter much if you have the hands-free option - it's the distraction that does you in

3:55 pm

hurshy

i know, i told her that!

3:55 pm

aslindy

and what about those that text while driving? they are nuts

3:55 pm

Soodle

Oh,(((Hurshy))) your family is giving you a lot of grief today.

3:56 pm

hurshy

she said, "how is that different from having a passenger and talking, then?" well, i don't know if it IS, but i would theorize that if the person is WITH you, then if you fail to see something coming, perhaps your passenger notices it and alerts you, so it may somewhat mitigate the distraction to have two of you there watching for things.

3:57 pm

uusue2

exactly, hurshy - the passenger can adjust their interaction with you to external conditions (they will tend to shut up in heavy traffic or whatever)

3:58 pm

hurshy

well, sometimes my family gives me grief, but perhaps i give them grief also!

3:58 pm

uusue2

{{{{{{{hurshy}}}}}}} - sounds like you could use a vacation from your family!

3:58 pm

hurshy

no, i love my sister, i just worry about her.

3:58 pm

hurshy

i love both of my sisters, they are great.

3:59 pm

hurshy

i love my parents too but they can be more exasperating.

3:59 pm

uusue2

I know, hurshy, that's why I suggested a vacation rather than a divorce :-)

3:59 pm

Soodle

'Tis the way of the world, Hurshy, 'tis the way of the world!

3:59 pm

hurshy

well the thing is we were talking on skype and she said she would call me from the car because she had to go, and i said not to, and the thing is, she probably will just call someone else!

4:00 pm

hurshy

she gets bored/lonely while driving.

4:00 pm

MollyL

I truly don't get people who use their phone in any way while driving. That's what books on tape are for Hursh.

4:00 pm

uusue2

And believe me, I know what it is to worry - one of the reasons the care of my dad has fallen exclusively on me is that my younger brother and sister are both gone (brother fell off a cliff at age 27, sister died of breast cancer at age 41).

4:00 pm

hurshy

oh my, uusue. that's awful.

4:01 pm

uusue2

So I always tell people to treasure their family (if at all possible); at least you have them around to irritate you!

4:01 pm

MollyL

Oh my God Sue, I'm so sorry to hear that.

4:02 pm

uusue2

It was all a long time ago...

4:02 pm

Soodle

Sue, I suggested that to my huxband (a vacation rather than a divorce). back in 2007. He took me up on the offer, vamoosed to Thailand (!!) and I haven't seen him since

4:02 pm

hurshy

yes - when i was talking to my dad today about getting help for depression i was saying how i was so glad and thankful that he didn't die in december and that i don't just want him to be around, i want him to be glad to be around too.

4:03 pm

uusue2

Thailand, eh? Good grief.

4:03 pm

uusue2

Very well put, hurshy! He should listen to you.

4:03 pm

aslindy

I hope that helped him, hurshy

4:03 pm

hurshy

my goodness, my stories always seem so tame compared to the rest of yours!

4:04 pm

GardeNom

hey hurshy

4:04 pm

GardeNom

hey hurshy

4:04 pm

aslindy

I struggle with depression, too

4:04 pm

hurshy

me too aslindy - so i can relate to him and i hope that means he is more likely to listen to what i have to say about it.

4:05 pm

Soodle

(((((Aslindy))) ((((Hurshy))) and all depression sufferers... It is a hideous cross to bear.

4:05 pm

aslindy

thank you, soodle

4:05 pm

GardeNom

tiss

4:05 pm

GardeNom

oops

4:06 pm

GardeNom

lol its not even a word

4:07 pm

hurshy

thanks soodle

4:07 pm

Soodle

Yup, Sue. Apparently he has being doing 'the grand tour' of South East Asia for the past 4 years. (The man is 55, for heavens sake). Now, THATS what I call a mid-life crisis!!

4:07 pm

GardeNom

hey soodle

4:07 pm

Soodle

Hello Garde :-)

4:08 pm

uusue2

So is he planning to return, or have you given up on him?

4:08 pm

GardeNom

it's been a while

4:08 pm

uusue2

Or both (which would be my tendency)?

4:09 pm

Soodle

Ahem... 4 years in SE Asia???? I wouldn't spit on the fecker if he was on fire!!

4:09 pm

aslindy

lol soodle

4:09 pm

MollyL

I love Soodle. I love Soodle. I love Soodle.

4:10 pm

aslindy

I'm sorry... you know I meant funny what you said, not funny that he left (I hope)

4:10 pm

Soodle

Mutual love fest between Moll & Soodle (avert your eyes)

4:10 pm

GardeNom

hey molly

4:11 pm

Soodle

Aslindy... I know exactly what you mean :-)

4:11 pm

uusue2

Good for you, soodle!

4:11 pm

aslindy

ok, good. =)

4:11 pm

Soodle

((((Aslindy))))

4:11 pm

MollyL

I have to wonder about people who just up and run away from their lives. I read a story on the internet yesterday about a Mom who just decided she didn't want to be a full time Mom anymore and turned over custody to their Dad. WHAT?

4:12 pm

GardeNom

ugh parents

4:12 pm

uusue2

too bad she didn't figure that out before actually having kids :-(

4:12 pm

GardeNom

well said

4:13 pm

aslindy

I have always loved my kids... but I'm glad they are grown now

4:13 pm

MollyL

I mean, nobody really knows what they're in for when they have kids. But to just say "I don't wanna play anymore"??????

4:14 pm

uusue2

My son's dad was kind of like that (didn't come out and say he wasn't interested - in fact he insisted he was - but was totally irresponsible and certainly acted like he had other priorities)

4:19 pm

uusue2

OK, didn't mean to shut down the chog. How about a funny cat video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JyOHpl
zUNo&feature=player_embedded

4:20 pm

Soodle

That was what was so unbelievable about my departed hubby.. He was actually quite a good dad (when it suited him). I can understand that marriages fail, businesses fail, but for a dad to run away from his own kids... well, thats something else...

4:20 pm

uusue2

oh, soodle, so you have kids too? What a bum!

4:21 pm

uusue2

Tiny url for cat video: http://tinyurl.com/47llkkn

4:21 pm

aslindy

can I have a tiny clue for le 7 32 please?

4:21 pm

Soodle

Ah, no bum there, Sue! I happen to have been blessed with the three best kids on the planet!

4:22 pm

uusue2

no, I mean him, for leaving.

4:22 pm

aslindy

never mind

4:23 pm

uusue2

gee, and i was just coming up with a wonderful clue (not) :-)

4:24 pm

aslindy

yeah, no idea how it would get clued

4:24 pm

Soodle

Paul is now 20, Sarah is 19 and Suzie is 16. So, they were at particularly difficult ages when 'yer man' took off. But, they are well rounded, well educated people in their own right now. I am hugely proud of them.

4:24 pm

aslindy

excellent, soodle

4:25 pm

uusue2

OMG, soodle, it must have been awful for you when he left! And congratulations on three wonderful kids!

4:27 pm

Soodle

Of course I worry about the kids, and affect of a 'vamoosed dad', but I think they have weathered the difficulties, and are getting on with their lives. Heck... Onwards and upwards, eh?

4:29 pm

uusue2

Indeed, soodle. The main thing is that they realize they are in no way at fault (kids tend to think that they are responsible for everything that happens when of course they are not). Sounds like they are doing well, and you too. Kudos to all!

4:31 pm

Soodle

Thanks Sue. Enough of me monopolising the chat.....Anybody got any good jokes?

4:32 pm

aslindy

of course, you say that, and my mind goes completely blank

4:32 pm

uusue2

Well, there's always the camel joke in my profile :-)

4:33 pm

Soodle

:-)... I saw the camel joke! Loved it!!

4:33 pm

uusue2

And I am happy to continue (not) cluing...

4:34 pm

aslindy

excellent camel joke!

4:34 pm

uusue2

lindy, just looking at your profile - you have a black lab mix? I have a black labradoodle.

4:35 pm

aslindy

yes, I do. =)

4:35 pm

aslindy

ok, I need to make some supper, and we have a lot of potatoes... suggestions?

4:35 pm

uusue2

They're great dogs, aren't they? We rescued ours about a year and a half ago from the local shelter.

4:36 pm

aslindy

yes, he's a good dog... he's almost 8 - and from a shelter as a pup

4:36 pm

uusue2

Baked potatoes with cheese and stuff?

4:38 pm

Soodle

Baked potoatoes with chilli.... I had them this evening and they were Yummy and pretty fat free..

4:39 pm

aslindy

both ideas sound yummy, thanks

4:39 pm

uusue2

You can do oven fries - cut them up into french-fry shapes, sprinkle with seasonings, and bake - also fat free

4:40 pm

stidgmere

Hi all. Baked potatoes are lovely this time of year. I also like potato salad with dill weed and mayonnaise.

4:40 pm

uusue2

Hi, gmere!

4:41 pm

Soodle

Hello Gmere :-)

4:41 pm

stidgmere

Hi uu, asl, and soodle.

4:42 pm

aslindy

hi, how are you?

4:43 pm

stidgmere

This completes the first full week of having a new puppy as a member of the family. He is a labrador and is named Murphy. That is also a family name of my great grandmother.

4:44 pm

aslindy

when raven was a pup, he chewed on everything

4:44 pm

aslindy

especially paper

4:44 pm

Soodle

Aha! You can take the girl out of Ireland, but you can never take Ireland out of the girl. Go Murph, go!!!

4:44 pm

aslindy

he would pull anything paperish out of the trash

4:45 pm

aslindy

I had to get lids for the bathroom trash cans >.<

4:45 pm

stidgmere

We dog proofed the house, we thought. To keep him off the furniture we put magazines down on the seats. It worked and today I've been able to remove the visual reminders and he is okay with favorite places to sit on the floor.

4:45 pm

Soodle

Oh, Lindy.. been there, done that!

4:46 pm

uusue2

great, gmere!

4:47 pm

Soodle

G'mere... I wish you many a long year of happiness with Murph.

4:47 pm

uusue2

lindy and i were just talking about our lab mix dogs :-)

4:48 pm

stidgmere

ty soodle. We had a golden/lab mix when the kids were little and she was the most wonderful dog imaginable. We always compare dogs against our Brandy.

4:48 pm

aslindy

no idea what raven is mixed with... but he has black spots on his tongue and a curled tail, and is only about 65 lbs

4:49 pm

uusue2

Is that the new pup in the photo, gmere?

4:49 pm

stidgmere

Yes, that was Murphy about a week ago.

4:50 pm

uusue2

He's a real cutie!

4:50 pm

stidgmere

ty. I notice a good training word in the grid. he** and plural.

4:50 pm

Soodle

Oh my! A charmer, if ever I saw one....

4:52 pm

Soodle

Well, wouldja look at that... fireworks.....

4:53 pm

aslindy

well done, soodle

4:53 pm

uusue2

yay, soodle!

4:55 pm

stidgmere

Congrats soodle!! Nice to complete a grid, isn't it.

4:56 pm

4:56 pm

MollyL

Gran Mere, that puppy is adorable.

4:57 pm

stidgmere

ty molly. He's asleep as we chat and that makes him doubly cute.

4:58 pm

Soodle

The fireworks just crept up on me. Hey gals... my email is in my profile. Feel free to make contact.

5:00 pm

uusue2

I might just do that, soodle :-)

5:02 pm

aslindy

yay fireworks!

5:03 pm

uusue2

yay, lindy!

5:03 pm

stidgmere

Congrats aslindy!! Fireworks are nice on a gray day such as we find ourselves in here in the Northwest.

5:04 pm

aslindy

well, I better go get cooking some supper.... see you all another day!

5:37 pm

Yes, I discovered how badly I suck at that.

5:37 pm

uusue2

Ah. I think I have enough addictions for the moment :-)

5:38 pm

negativeneil

I tried it very late at night though. Was overtired.

5:38 pm

5:38 pm

featherbee

you have to be fresh for it

5:38 pm

negativeneil

Fresh as a daisy?

5:38 pm

featherbee

lol, yup. and you have to stop playing every now and then to remember how to blink.

5:39 pm

featherbee

any cluers in here? neil's on his second grid, i think, and getting down to the last few!

5:39 pm

negativeneil

Blinking's usually automatic. Maybe that was my problem? I didn't stop blinking.

5:40 pm

featherbee

lol, perhaps

5:40 pm

negativeneil

few? Oh sure, if you call 50 "few"?

5:40 pm

5:42 pm

negativeneil

oh you did? Good. Someone has to, haha!

5:43 pm

I usually whip him too. He doesn't like that much.

5:43 pm

5:49 pm

uusue2

university has a deal with Verizon (with whom I would not otherwise deal) - modem is $50/month for unlimited data. A bargain for them, really, as it meant I could keep working while gone.

7:02 pm

7:04 pm

uusue2

right, of course, jilli, maybe I shouldn't clue while distracted :-)

7:04 pm

uusue2

7:04 pm

Pinikula

7:05 pm

7:22 pm

jillibus

<-- shaking head at infant techies

7:23 pm

dcseain

jilli, my younger nephew learned to read by playing online games, starting when he was 2

7:23 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

children under age 5 (give or take) are wired to learn. they can learn a language, or how to use computers, whatever, way faster than us grownups

7:24 pm

jillibus

"for I dipt into the future,far as human eye could see, Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be..."

7:24 pm

Bugsaw

kids under 5 can also change all the settings on your computer faster than the eye can see!

7:25 pm

Bugsaw

hello everyone

7:25 pm

Pinikula

the most impressive years, eh, gwen? along with personality and character...

7:25 pm

Pinikula

hey bugs ;)

7:25 pm

dcseain

nice quote, jilli. Hi, bugs

7:26 pm

Pinikula

how appropriate, cuz

7:26 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

yep. my dad loves to tell story of his friends, who went to france for a short time, forget how long, and his 4-y-o learned how to speak french, but his 7-y-o only picked up a few words

7:27 pm

Pinikula

I learned German between 6 mos and 3 yrs...lost it though because no spoke it when we returned to the States :(

7:27 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i mean his frend's kids, not my dad's kids (OY)

7:27 pm

jillibus

Hi bugs!

7:27 pm

Bugsaw

hello all.

7:28 pm

jillibus

brb -- gotta thaw something for supper

7:28 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

yet, us public schools don't teach a foreign language until the kids are like 14-y-o. stooopid

7:28 pm

dcseain

my niece is learning Spanish from me. Since half her neighborhood speaks it, it'll be a useful life skill.

7:28 pm

Pinikula

agreed, gwen!

7:28 pm

dcseain

we're debating putting her in French or Chinese immersion elementary school.

7:29 pm

Pinikula

my gdau is allegedly learning Mandarin in school; I have yet to hear her say anything in it tho

7:29 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i took german in high school, and if i had to survive on the german i learned, i'd be dead

7:29 pm

Bugsaw

the only drawback to early learning of a second language is that their vocabularies in both languages they know are not as full as their contemporaries. Not a big problem if you ask me

7:29 pm

Pinikula

(Mandarin and Spanish) ... in other than songs

7:30 pm

dcseain

i agree, that mandarin and spanish is more useful

7:30 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

more than 1 billion people speak mandarin -- it's the gubmint language of china

7:30 pm

Bugsaw

mandarin could be of more use in the future but only if she wants to go into business

7:31 pm

dcseain

indeed, bugs. OTOH, getting the early exposure to tonal language could be a huge bene

7:32 pm

Pinikula

in her first grade, they had her trying to learn mandarin, spanish, and french...a little much if you ask me especially if they can't ultimate even say 'hello'

7:32 pm

Bugsaw

I agree dc. lots of languages early really helps to cement them

7:32 pm

negativeneil

I think so dc. Languages are best learned early.

7:35 pm

periwinkle

hi all, se7 pls

7:35 pm

8:28 pm

Trifioso

the dishwasher is on, but this is hardly the first time he has heard it.

8:28 pm

dcseain

yes, or he can hear something we cannot maybe?

8:29 pm

Trifioso

I think he is just pissed because he would rather be up with us, wreaking all sorts of havoc.

8:29 pm

dcseain

heh. could be that, too :)

8:30 pm

MollyL

You know how kids get, on those nights they need to come sleep with you? Maybe that's it.

8:31 pm

dcseain

oy. i so often miss those ED words.

8:31 pm

dcseain

easy they were, once i noticed :)

8:32 pm

MollyL

There are a bunch of words that I regularly miss. I think I need to make a list and just type them in at the beginning of each grid.

8:33 pm

oh, weird thing i found today. part of Ordway St NW in Washington, DC has one side of the street numbered in the 3000 block and the other in the 3100 block.

10:37 pm

Pinikula

interesting concept, dc

10:37 pm

Pinikula

(sorry to have missed the fw...koda had a moment)

10:39 pm

dcseain

it was bizarre. in that part of town it goes 30th NW to 34th NW, so additionally, the 3000/3100 block becomes the 3400 block.

10:39 pm

Pinikula

somebody forgot their math classes

10:40 pm

dcseain

quite so. Arlington, VA does it better, regularly changing blocks numbering mid-block where street is missing.

10:40 pm

Pinikula

gets confusing, eh?

10:42 pm

dcseain

In Arlington? Yes. I go into Arlington several days a week via Washington Blvd. There is a left turn labeled 21st N and N Potomac St at the same time, one sign atop the other. You look down the street and it forks. I checked map. Left one is 21st St N right one is N Potomac St.

10:42 pm

Pinikula

egads!

10:42 pm

Pinikula

...and here I thought 1-ways were bad enough...

10:48 pm

dcseain

there is rhyme and reason to the system in Arlington, but the imposed a grid over a non-grid street system :)

10:48 pm

dcseain

so, if you know the system, you can *usually* find what you need.

10:48 pm

Pinikula

usually being the operative word ;)

10:49 pm

dcseain

though the 200 block of 32nd St N is a court off of 36th St N, and there are a number of such oddities

10:50 pm

Pinikula

I think that's probably one of the reasons I stay away from big cities...

10:51 pm

Pinikula

'been there, done that' kinda thing

10:53 pm

dcseain

I've always lived in or near an urban area. There are 120,000 or so people in the 2 ZIP codes that make up the unincorporated place that is Reston, VA.

10:54 pm

dcseain

i want to live back in the urban core. Eventually, want a house in the mountains, too.

10:54 pm

Pinikula

the area I'm in (2 cities; one on either side of the freeway) totals about 250K

10:54 pm

dcseain

well, i plan to move back in4 the urban core :)

10:56 pm

dcseain

The town proper across the highway from where i live has another 100,000, not including the areas around it with the town as its mailing address

10:57 pm

Pinikula

the next closest city is about 45-60 mins away...and PTD is about 2 hrs...close enough to visit, but far enough not to overwhelmed again
