5:28 am
Maryte
*gulp* ....I knew there would be a catch...
5:28 am
Maryte
ooops....sorry...
5:28 am
sprite
well something I have learned here is that the brick walls are personal. Sometimes people fly through grid that I find tough, and the other way around.
5:31 am
sprite
and right now I am certain I found a fi7/8 combo and it will not catch! Haz, you still around? Flames + dug out place with stones around it... not valid? Not one word maybe?
5:32 am
Maryte
2 words I think...
5:33 am
sprite
yes I think so too. Those are frustrating babble moments ;)
5:37 am
lynxxx

And yes, I found two flamey words there, not a combo though.

BzznBea
Hi sue and Molly
6:49 am
MollyL
Same to you Sue. I just had a nice stroll communicating with my growing things.
6:50 am
uusue2
hi, molly and bea! and kap and movieman and ursh and mrp!
6:50 am
BzznBea
NBT. That was fast!
6:51 am
movieman
hiya, uusue
6:51 am
uusue2
btw - has anyone seen zoomzoom lately? I haven't seen him for a while but I am kind of random about when I log on.
6:54 am
MollyL
I have not Sue, and I miss him. Zoom, if you are here but lurking, you are missed.
6:55 am
uusue2
always a little worrying when someone who's been regular doesn't show up for a while....
6:57 am
uusue2
so I would have nbt except for that pesky r in the bottom center.
6:58 am
movieman
sue, for that r, think us actor john.....
6:58 am
uusue2
ha! got it! thx, movieman!
6:59 am
uusue2
that got me a couple more words with the same ending as well. nbt.
6:59 am
MollyL
I miss John Ri6. I'm glad to see his son doing well in show business. He looks very much like his Dad.
7:00 am
uusue2
what does his son do, molly? (I'm actually amazed that i got that clue as I am quite dense on current culture)
7:01 am
MollyL
He was on the show "Joan Of Arcadia" and now he stars in the show "The Event".
7:01 am
MollyL
His name is Jason. If you Google his picture, you'll see what I mean.
7:02 am
movieman
Jason R was also in 'Freddy vs. Jason'......
7:03 am
uusue2
ah, thx! I do see the resemblance.
7:04 am
uusue2
anyway, I am headed back to bed for another few minutes - see you all later!! (I love Saturdays!!!)
7:04 am
movieman
later sue!!!!!
7:22 am
Trifioso
hello dear babble friends
7:24 am
MollyL
Good morning Trif. I thought of you last night, as I took the bay leaf out of the red sauce. : )
7:24 am
Trifioso
LOLOL ....my claim to fame! Oh, you are SUCH a dear, Molly! I am smiling ear to ear....
7:25 am
MollyL
I think you should consider it a mark of distinction. Like the one who gets the baby in the King Cake.
7:26 am
Trifioso
hmmm. that is worthy of consideration! I wish I could ask a psychic or something. Perhaps it does have some significance in other cultures
7:28 am
Trifioso
here's today's excitment: borrowed a mini tiller from a lady at church, and primo and I about wet out pants laughing yesterday as we were trying to learn to handle it. It was bopping and skipping and just cracking us up. Got the hang of it, and will be spending a MAJOR portion of today chewing up parts of the yard that need it, setting in a new front walkway, and the like. Fun times!
7:28 am
Trifioso
*our pants
7:29 am
MollyL
I am always so proud of independent women who learn how to do the "man work". *Pats Trif on the back*
7:30 am
Trifioso
gosh, thanks molly! I have to do it, circumstances being what they are. Truth is, I am LOVING my new independence and the confidence that comes from learning these new skills. Mr. Hate would NEVER have encouraged our even allowed me to do half this stuff
7:31 am
MollyL
And that, is how we not so secretly learn that we are just fine without them. And then, they become relegated to Wicker Man status. Ahahahahaha!
7:32 am
Trifioso
I don't get that reference....
7:32 am
MollyL
Look up the movie. I'm evil.
7:32 am
Trifioso
you are nothing like evil, and I will look it up.
7:35 am
Trifioso
okay, I looked up the movie, and searched wiki, and LOLed when I found out it's a Celtic thing, as Mr. Hate grew up in Dublin....
7:38 am
Trifioso
that movie sounds really scary!
7:40 am
movieman
It is trif, but the remake with Nic Cage sucks!!!!!
7:40 am
Trifioso
movieman! was just thinking of you....question: what movie in 2010 made you laugh the hardest?
7:42 am
movieman
I would have to say........'Kick-Ass'!!!!!!
7:42 am
Trifioso
hmmm. I am going with "easy A" -- I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard at a movie
7:42 am
Trifioso
didn't see Kick Ass though, so I will have to catch up.
7:43 am
Trifioso
my son got a list of the supposed 100 best movies of the last 10 years, and he is working his way through them. luckily he has seen more than half of them already, so he won't disappear for too many hours
7:43 am
movieman
Next on my agenda will be 'X-Men: First Class'
7:44 am
Trifioso
I did - ahem - receive a quite upsetting email from our internet provider, saying our account was used to illegally download a movie. Had to have a rather st5 chat with the boyo about THAT one
7:45 am
Trifioso
the worst part is, it was "Jackass 3D" .....I was more upset about that than the piracy, I think. I will go to jail for "The King's Speech" but for Jackass? That's just embarrassing
7:46 am
movieman
'The King's Speech'......now there's a bloody good film!!!!!
7:47 am
Trifioso
indeed! Geofferey Rush was AMAZING in that movie! I wish he had won the Oscar over Christian Bale
7:48 am
MollyL
I would kick my kid's ass from here to kingdom come if I got in trouble with the law over a Jackass movie.
7:49 am
Trifioso
this is what I am saying, Molly. For the King's Speech, or Out of Africa, or Hitchcock I would stand up for him. If there is a fine to be paid, he's paying it for Jackass
7:49 am
MollyL
And that...is how it should be, Trif.
7:50 am
movieman
How old is your son, Trif?
7:50 am
Trifioso
seriously, have I had no impression on this child at all? Jackass? geez louise!
7:50 am
Trifioso
hes 18, Movieman, so he is rather the target audience for Johnny Knoxville
7:51 am
movieman
I didn't have the internet when I was 18 (in 1996), so my parents were lucky really!!!!!
7:51 am
MollyL
I've given up saying "I raised you better than that". I did, it's just that some of it didn't stick.
7:51 am
herinfernallady
Hi. Can I ask where T got that list from Trifis
7:52 am
Trifioso
Yes, I think Primo was actually pretty embarrassed. Hey, it could have been a LOT worse, so I'm okay
7:52 am
Trifioso
hello herin!!! I will ask him when he wakes up. Or you can ask him on FB, when he wakes up! LOLOL
7:52 am
herinfernallady
Howdy. There is a lot of lists about that is why I asked
7:53 am
Trifioso
yes, and somehow they all end with "citizen Kane"
7:54 am
herinfernallady
Well I found Broke Back Mountain very very very LONG and boring
7:54 am
Trifioso
I actually liked that one. Have you seen Easy A?
7:55 am
movieman
A few years ago, Empire magazine published a list of their readers' Top 500 movies, and I've at least 50% of them on DVD
7:55 am
Trifioso
wow, movieman, that is really impressive!
7:55 am
herinfernallady
Thank you Movie. I was trying to remember that magizine
7:56 am
Trifioso
is that a british magazine? given the title I would assume so
7:56 am
movieman
Yes it is trif
7:56 am
movieman
And I have every issue of it, dating back to June 1989
7:56 am
herinfernallady
Movie is this the list : http://tinyurl.com/4gwvmw
7:57 am
Trifioso
we get maybe 6 copies of hello magazine a month over here, and I legged it to the one seller around here that carries it, but the issue after the wedding was gone in seconds. I was so bummed.
7:57 am
Trifioso
I know hello is pretty fluffy, but I like it's happy attitude and their focus on uplifting stories
7:57 am
Trifioso
its a nice change
7:57 am
movieman
Although I had to buy quite a few back issues from eBay, 'cos I only started getting it seriously in 1996
7:57 am
herinfernallady
I will never watch Saw and I found Oceans 12 remixed to be rather dull
7:58 am
Trifioso
wow, that is quite a list herin! I posted the link on Primos' wall...
7:59 am
movieman
When I first saw the top 500 list, I couldn't believe that the remake of The Fly wasn't on it!!!!!
7:59 am
car.eeyore
Hello!
7:59 am
movieman
hiya car
7:59 am
Trifioso
I can't believe Saw is on it.
7:59 am
herinfernallady
OPPS wrong kid sorry Trifs I got confused with T :D
7:59 am
herinfernallady
Is this the list Movie?
7:59 am
herinfernallady
Hi Caree?
7:59 am
movieman
Yes it is, herin
7:59 am
Trifioso
Good morning car! I was so hoping to see you today!

hi babblers!

wait, what herin?
8:00 am
car.eeyore
Hello!
8:01 am
Trifioso
I need to call you car, but I can't find my phone at the mo....
8:01 am
herinfernallady
Trifs I put in the chat T not Primo sorrys
8:01 am
Trifioso
oh, that's okay herin. most people are well on to it anyway
8:01 am
herinfernallady
Can I say that I would rather the non remake of Oceans twelve.
8:02 am
car.eeyore
mine is upstairs and I am not.
8:02 am
car.eeyore
Do I need to go get it?
8:02 am
Trifioso
well, then, remind me later to ask you something about grad
8:03 am
car.eeyore
Thank you. I crushed my big toe last night and it is painful to walk.
8:03 am
Trifioso
golly, what is it with you ladies over there?
8:03 am
car.eeyore
We are just partying hard!
8:05 am
Trifioso
car, I wrote you a message on FB...it's nothing urgent, its just my squirrely mind these days
8:05 am
herinfernallady
Movie You have me curious. I am counting up that list
8:08 am
Trifioso
oh hey - speaking of graduation - I need a chog rating on this one. My son is graduating HS next weekend. If the weather is nice, graduation is outside, and there is no seating issue. If the weather is poor, grad is held inside, and each grad gets four tickets. I get one, the father gets one, and that leaves two extra. My youngest daughter will need one, and that leaves just one. I would like to offer it to my mother, but do you think etiquette dictates I offer it to Mr. Hate's boyfriend instead?
8:08 am
Anniebrook
YOUR MOTHER
8:08 am
car.eeyore
Got your message. Of course.
8:09 am
car.eeyore
Absolutely Grammy gets it. She has been supportive of Tristan for the last 18 years...not the boyfriend.
8:09 am
Trifioso
hahaha annie - didn't take a lot of thought, did it?
8:10 am
Trifioso
sigh. and I suppose I have to invite them both to the grad party, don't i?
8:10 am
Anniebrook
Not at all, Trif. She is Primo's grandmother...the boyfriend is a stranger to the family
8:11 am
car.eeyore
Unfortunately that would be the right thing to do.
8:11 am
Trifioso
but he is part of the father's life, and I dont want to be THAT ex-wife
8:12 am
herinfernallady
Well I think you should leave it up to the kidlet
8:12 am
Trifioso
I dont mind them coming to the party so much, as long as mr hate doesnt start acting all lord of the manor and preening around like he had SO MUCH to do with all primo's success
8:12 am
herinfernallady
MOther and f them
8:12 am
car.eeyore
No, you are better than THAT. You will focus on Primo and not yourself and not the father's pettiness or hatefulness and certainly not the boyfriend's place in all this. It is primo's day.
8:12 am
Anniebrook
Trif, You are not being THAT ex-wife..you only have 4 tickets.
8:13 am
Trifioso
I love you guys, did I mention that yet today? there truly is no problem the chog can't solve
8:13 am
herinfernallady
I have four tickets. Your Grandmother is a lot more important than a new toy
8:14 am
Trifioso
the new toy is over two years old, herin, and I am pretty sure they got married at some point....
8:14 am
herinfernallady
pffft still not family
8:14 am
car.eeyore
Grammy has seniority. End of story.
8:14 am
car.eeyore
And if the boyfriend pouts, that is HIS problem.
8:14 am
Anniebrook
You are not responsible for Mr. Hate's behavior. He is. Be kind and invite them both to the party...but Grandmother gets the 4 ticket. I dont care if they are married, grandmother gets the ticket. Are you bringing someone special??? Hmmm.
8:14 am
herinfernallady
How disappointed would Grammy be?
8:15 am
Trifioso
there is also the bigger grammy problem - do you think she is up to a graduation?
8:15 am
Trifioso
Yes, annie, my youngest daughter! :)
8:15 am
herinfernallady
Serve him a slice of guilt pie with a side of Catholic Guilt
8:15 am
Trifioso
Secondo is in the marching band, so no ticket for her!
8:16 am
car.eeyore
OK...I just asked her. She would like to go, but does not want to cause stress for any one.
8:16 am
Trifioso
I do not believe he is capable of feeling any sort of guilt, herin. seriously. I am totally, totally serious. I do not believe he can feel guilt
8:16 am
Anniebrook
Trif, If your mother has to leave the graduation early, then so be it but she was there. Let the bf pout.
8:16 am
Trifioso
she won't be stressing me out, car!
8:16 am
car.eeyore
Heh, heh, heh. Tell boyfriend he can wait at the house with me...heh, heh....
8:17 am
herinfernallady
Secondo goes for free?
8:17 am
Anniebrook
Mr. Hate sounds like my first husband re: the guilt department.
8:17 am
Trifioso
oh, hey, car, by the way - did you get an invitation to Primo's Eagle scout thing?
8:17 am
herinfernallady
Grammy has been in Primos life ALWAYS not this new person. Sorry if I sound like a bitch
8:17 am
car.eeyore
Of course! We will be there!
8:17 am
Trifioso
secondo plays in the school band, so she has to be there anyway
8:17 am
Trifioso
okay. didn't know if they had gone out yet or not
8:17 am
car.eeyore
Herin, join the party!
8:18 am
Trifioso
you don't sound like one at ALL herin!
8:18 am
Trifioso
oh, that reminds me, I need to call day. Where the heck is my phone????
8:18 am
Trifioso
dad, even
8:19 am
herinfernallady
Well I would be upset if Grammy wasn't asked. It is sort of a family even
8:19 am
car.eeyore
Seriously, trif, there really shouldn't be any argument here. You, the father, tertiare, and grammy get the tickets. If it is outside, then everyone comes and it will be fine. If Mr. Hate has a problem with that, you let Kadresa, Joe, Brian and i know. We got your back on this one.
8:19 am
Trifioso
thanks all.
8:20 am
car.eeyore
OK...so enough energy spent on stressing about this! We are going to have a wonderful graduation for PRIMO!!!!!
8:21 am
car.eeyore
wheeeee!
8:21 am
Trifioso
I will be the one in the stands crying my EYES out
8:21 am
car.eeyore
You and many other parents, so just let it all hang out!
8:21 am
Mr Bob
Good morning friends

That's even worse!!!!
8:25 am

Trifioso
never mind. got them both. silly words
8:27 am
Trifioso
I have 29 of the 32 w's with no li4, and I just cannot coax out those last 3....arrrrgh
8:32 am

I love the smell of sweet peas, don't have much luck growing them though

there is a beautiful road up in the hills that i like to take the mrs on when we go for our sunday drives and it really made us think what the progress of man has sneaked away from our lives.we were driving at random enjoying nature when i turned onto a road that had an entire canopy of of trees over top of it for its entire 2 mile length,what sun there was was coming through the chunks in the leaves overhead and making dappled patterns in us and the road we followed.we wondered at the reason as to why the road was allowed to remain like this and not trimmed back like the others when it dawned on us that we were in a small amish/mennonite area.They often prefer to have no power to their homes and live off the farm entirely.so there was not a need for power poles or lines on this road and no need to trim back bushes or the trees or the grass.it was beautiful and we discovered that while electricity is nice we found something lost that we had forgotten was taken away....

11:19 am
uusue2
bye, cos!
11:21 am
uusue2
ha, my son when he was 16 was out playing late at night with some of his buddies - they were playing in an elementary school playground and then climbed to the roof of the school. The police came, charged them all with criminal trespass, and he had to pay a $1500 fine!!! Struck me as being excessive especially as there was no damage.
11:21 am
redturtlehead
Oh My Oh My!!! None sounds nice!
11:21 am
Aloyisius
agree with you, sue
11:23 am
uusue2
the conviction was supposed to have been struck from his record as he was a juvenile but the arrest is still there :-(
11:23 am
Aloyisius
bummer, sue - hope it goes away
11:23 am
wildcat17
police can be hard on kids when they catch them where they're not supposed to be
11:24 am
uusue2
really really stupid imho
11:24 am
wildcat17
sue I think you actually have to take action to have that kind of thing removed from the record once he's eligible
11:24 am
rbud
sounds like last summer here, dau's boyfriend's kids were visiting, they and 3 or 4 others climbed on top of the roof of the bathroom in the nearby park, whole crew of road repair guys stood around watching, then called police when they said the kids wer "breaking off shingle pieces and throwing them"
11:24 am
uusue2
well, I understand being hard on them, and they shouldn't have been on the roof, but it still seems excessive
11:24 am
uusue2
we did once the fine was paid off
11:25 am
uusue2
*sigh* one of the joys of parenthood that I wasn't quite expecting :-)
11:26 am
rbud
tried to charge their parents for a new roof, but the estimate was for a much larger area of roof, like just enough to redo the mayor's house, haha.
11:26 am
wildcat17
yeah no kidding. she's my youngest and I thought was the most responsible considering that she's watched her older siblings and their shenanigans
11:27 am
rbud
what I don't get was why didn't the road crew say something, like "hey you kids shouldn't be up there!" - they are all 9 to 12 years old. Nooo, waited and called the cops. Sigh.
11:27 am
uusue2
ah well - I have friends whose children are in much more serious trouble, so I am overall glad that it was nothing worse
11:27 am
wildcat17
that's men for you
11:27 am
uusue2
you are right, rbud, those were little kids! people have no sense sometimes.
11:28 am
wildcat17
good perspective sue. sometimes kids will just be kids. I'm hoping this is the end of it for her
11:29 am
uusue2
meanwhile I do not see how there can possible be 15 words from that a.
11:30 am
wildcat17
I have 13 of them so there's hope
11:30 am
uusue2
*possibly
11:30 am
Glantarell
15 a word not a problem, but the Ps....
11:31 am
Aloyisius

11:31 am
wildcat17
yay aloy!
11:31 am
uusue2
yay, aloy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
11:31 am
rbud
(and then, to top it all off, the cop who lives in town here came by the library - which I run - looking for the father [our dau's BF] to give papers to, and ended up yelling at ME when I suggested it was handled badly and the estimate was ridiculous. I told him to get out.) :P
11:31 am
Glantarell
hint for pe7 would be good
11:32 am
Aloyisius
add a comparative ending to the pe5 before it
11:33 am
Glantarell
