1:07 am

1:07 am
saphyre

My mother was a downer from the gitgo. I finally realised part (I think) was because I was a better cook and housekeeper.
1:13 am
saphyre
My mother is 94 - she told me she loved me for the first time 4 yhears ago - my sister is all she ever cared about - and now my sister doesn't even call her - but I am ok with it - it made me stronger i think
1:14 am
saphyre
And I am very close with my daughters and my granddaughter
1:14 am

I sent a christmas card about 20 years ago to my folks... it had a rocking chair on the porch of a house and it said on the card: This Hoiliday it is especially important to be nice to your children ... and the inside said " because they pick out the nursing home".. ya know I never heard from them afterwards.. I wonder why?
1:15 am

1:17 am
Pinikula
Last time I went to my parents, it was for help (dau to mom/dad) regarding siblings; they're response was, 'we're too old to get involved' and 'you may not get over, but you need to get on with your life'...

I mean if they can 'ignore' me; I sure don't have a problem 'ignoring' them!
1:20 am
saphyre
I send gifts to those I want to send them to, not to those I am obliged to send them to
1:21 am
hootowl
Or when my mother was staying in Az w/my youngest sister, and she would come to NY in the summer. I would get a phone call from the middle sister telling me she was there and to get over there to see her!
1:21 am

I go to 'gatherings' just to see all my nieces and nephews...could care less about the adults.
1:21 am

my mother died a couple of years ago. My cousin called me totell me to go to AZ. I am on SS of $1018 per month and I told her I couldn't afford it and wouldn't be able to pay her back if she paid.

Hello -- how's this for a late arrival!
1:39 am
jillibus
I had a lot of fun tonight -- looking back at the chog it seems nobody else did! Sorry!
1:47 am
jillibus
It also seems nobody is here.
1:54 am
Douglas
I'm here, jilli...
1:54 am
jillibus
hi doug -- how're you doing?
1:55 am
Douglas
I'm doing well...My #2 son graduated from Minnetonka High School this week
1:55 am
jillibus
congrats to him! Going on to college?
1:56 am
Douglas
He is going to Concordia College in Moorhead MN
1:56 am
jillibus
Any special interests?
1:56 am
Douglas
I should be happy, but I'm hysterical about the amount of debt he is going to have
1:57 am
jillibus
over halfway
1:57 am
Douglas
He scored the highest possible score on the International Baccalaureate oral Chinese exam. I think he is the Chinese geek of the High School
1:58 am
jillibus
I know -- kids these days are saddled with such student loans to start life with. It seems all wrong.
1:58 am
Douglas
He is quite possibly one of the most fluent Chinese speakers out of the mass of 18 yo Americans
1:58 am
jillibus
Wow! And waht a useful language to know nowadays. Smart move.
1:59 am
Douglas
But who knows, maybe it will all turn out wonderfully
1:59 am
Douglas
I have 8 words left, perhaps I can help?
2:00 am
jillibus
I'm ashamed that I was born in China and lived ther until I was 12 but never learned the language except for a few words. My Scottish dad was fluent and my Brit mother knew a lot -- Scottish grandfather translated the Bible into Chinese, but me? Nada.
2:03 am
Douglas
I recently read an article saying Chinese people are developing "character amnesia"
2:05 am
Douglas
Smartphones are to blame

2:11 am
Douglas
I've heard that Chinese Christians are exceedingly good at memorizing large chunks of the Chinese Bible
2:12 am
jillibus
I have my dad's box with one-inch high drawers, each with one-ince dividers, each holding one-inch squares of cardboard bearing a Chinese character on one side and its different meanings on the other side. He studied these in the rickshaw taking him to work for the Chinese Postal Bank in order to qualify for their civil service exam. An extra 8 points were awarded for writing the exam in Chinese so he got 108%.
2:13 am
jillibus
This was all Mandarin, of course, and in the early 1920s.
2:14 am
Douglas
For the longest time, China reported that there were about 25M in the TSPM churches. They recently upped that to about 70M
2:14 am
Douglas
Your grandfather's efforts have borne great fruit
2:14 am
jillibus
I can sing the chorus to "Jesus Loves Me" in Chinese, lol! Can never remember more than that :-(
2:16 am
jillibus
My grandfather was not the only one who did that translation. I read that Pearl Buck's father also translated the Bible and scorned other people's efforts at doing so.
2:17 am
jillibus
But he was American and my grandparents were Brits.
2:17 am
Douglas
The French have a proverb "To translate is to betray."
2:18 am
jillibus
(Scots, but educated at the London Missionary Society)
2:18 am
Douglas
Did Pearl Buck's father think others wouldn't do as good a job at translating?
2:19 am
jillibus
What an odd sentiment from the French!
2:20 am
Douglas
I think it just shows what a tricky business translating is. Sometimes there just isn't a word in the target language for a word in the source language
2:21 am
jillibus
That was the impression I got from her book "Fighting Angel".
2:22 am
Haz1558
I can understand what they mean - translating poetry, for instance, might convey the meaning but it can't reproduce the rhyme, rhythmn or the sound of the words in the original language.
2:22 am
jillibus
Well, of course the Bible we know in English is translations from translations from translations...
2:22 am
jillibus
hewoo to yoo too cos
2:23 am
Douglas
Hello haz, I saw a French translation of The Jabberwock once

That must have been interesting but slightly weird to be translating non-existent words into non-existent words.
2:25 am

And good morning/evening all.

I think I saw that Jabberwocky en francais too
2:26 am
Douglas
I just read the Amazon description of Fighting Angel, which seems to go along with what you said
2:27 am
jillibus
Here you go:
2:27 am
jillibus
Il brilgue: les tôves lubricilleux
Se gyrent en vrillant dans le guave,
Enmîmés sont les gougebosqueux,
Et le mômerade horsgrave.
Garde-toi du Jaseroque, mon fils!
La gueule qui mord; la griffe qui prend!
Garde-toi de l’oiseau Jube, évite
Le frumieux Band-à-prend.
Son glaive vorpal en mail il va-
T-àla recherche du fauve manscant;
Puis arriveé àl’arbre Té-Té,
Il y reste, réfléchissant.
Pendant qu’il pense, tout uffusé
Le Jaseroque, àl’oeil flambant,
Vient siblant par le bois tullegeais,
Et burbule en venant.
Un deux, un deux, par le milieu,
Le glaive vorpal fait pat-à-pan!
La bête défaite, avec sa tête,
Il rentre gallomphant.
As-tu tué le Jaseroque?
Viens àmon coeur, fils rayonnais!
O jour frabbejeais! Calleau! Callai!
Il cortule dans sa joie.
Il brilgue: les tôves lubricilleux
Se gyrent en vrillant dans le guave,
Enmîmés sont les gougebosqueux,
Et le mômerade horsgrave.
2:29 am
jillibus
Good old Google!
2:29 am
Douglas
Good morning to you...good night to me...
2:30 am
cosdem
i dont like this grid
2:30 am
jillibus
Good night Doug!
2:32 am

Bye, Douglas.
2:33 am
jillibus
Did the French Jabberwocky scare everyone away?
2:36 am
jillibus
Hmmm -- I guess so :-(
2:36 am
cosdem
it terrified me like poor alice
2:37 am
jillibus
la pauvre petite fille, tsk tsk.
2:37 am
scouser
Hello Jillibus: brilliant Jabberwock. gallomphant will definitely be added to the vocabulary here. TY
2:38 am
jillibus
Hah! Glad you enjoyed it, scoser!
2:38 am
cosdem
i still need 3 for nbt ugh
2:38 am
cosdem
and i have no 6 or 7
2:38 am
jillibus
*scouser
2:38 am
jillibus
I have 1 6, no 7
2:38 am
cosdem
finally found an A word and it was a fish
2:40 am
scouser
Winni ille Pu is required reading round here too, since that is hobby No.2.
2:40 am
jillibus
My 6 is fo 6/27, a pl of the fo 5/16
2:41 am
jillibus
and while were onto Latin, the fo5 is a ditch.
2:41 am
scouser
The 7 word is apposite for this time of year in England.
2:42 am
scouser
Yes and the plural of that ditch seems to be missing from Lickety's long wordlist, it only has the Latin plural.
2:43 am
cosdem
ugh i cant find it lol
2:43 am
jillibus
funny -- it's an English pl here.
2:43 am
cosdem
must be an unusual word
2:44 am
scouser
the English plural is in the list ending in -es; this one is -as.
2:44 am
jillibus
I see what you mean, I think.
2:45 am
scouser
PS I think we have actually got a grid without babblets.
2:45 am
cosdem
what does the 7 start with
2:45 am
scouser
7 starts with b and is very pretty
2:46 am
jillibus
ty scouser!
2:46 am
scouser
I am off to the garden to dead-head some b7s now. Byee
2:46 am
jillibus
but I have found some babblets -- depending on what you call babblets.
2:47 am
jillibus
and now I have nbs too.
2:47 am
scouser
To me a babblet is a word that has no entry in the Enable dictionary.
2:47 am
cosdem
oh duh a fisj
2:47 am
scouser
What is nbs?
2:48 am
cosdem
im missing a 6 for nbs and i oneed the O and S in middle column for nbt
2:48 am
scouser
what is nbt?
2:48 am
jillibus
no blank stats -- i.e. at least one word from each of the Word Stats boxes
2:48 am
cosdem
no blank tiles
2:48 am
cosdem
and no blank stats
2:48 am
scouser
the o is bony and the s happens at sea a lot
2:48 am
cosdem
i assume anyway
2:49 am
Haz1558
Apparently no blank stats, meaning you've got one of every word length, no blank tiles meaning you've got one from every available word tile.
2:49 am
jillibus
nbt is No Blank Tiles -- at least one word from each of the Tile Stats boxes where words are available.
2:49 am
scouser
or possibly that s is a geology term about hillsides - once they are in the grid you can't tell which is which
2:50 am
cosdem
whats the 2nd letter for that O?
2:51 am
cosdem
is it a 4 5 6?
2:51 am
scouser
OK ta for explanations. If Lickety is up I do the 4s first and then can see what needs to go between, so often I don't look at the stats counts.
2:52 am
cosdem
now for that S in midle column...
2:52 am
jillibus
sn 4/6, cos
2:53 am
scouser
No I was wrong below - it is the geology word. take off the first s and you have one of the t4s with a duplicate letter in it.
2:55 am
jillibus
11 left and I'm heading for bed -- they'll have to wait for the morrow. Farewell, all.....*poof
2:55 am

2:58 am
Haz1558
bl7 - what precedes fruit on an apple or cherry tree.
3:00 am
cool.girl
ty haz i can always rely on you
3:00 am
Haz1558
You're welcome.
3:01 am
cool.girl
sometimes words can be looking straight at you and you still cant see them
3:02 am
Haz1558
I know - it's funny how things can hide themselves from you.
3:05 am
cool.girl
is the bl6 to do with the same 7
3:06 am
cool.girl
i cant find any 6s
3:06 am
Haz1558
No, it's b plus a kind of slang version of a man's name - think Bernstein.
3:06 am
Haz1558
Or Mr Nimoy.
3:07 am
cool.girl
just found 2 f6s
3:08 am
cool.girl
still dont get it
3:09 am
Haz1558
Don't get what - the bl6? B plus Mr Henry the comedian.
3:10 am
cool.girl
ty would never have got that without that clue
3:10 am
Haz1558
Or bl plus the last letters of the least valuable coin we use.
3:12 am
cool.girl
ive got the 2f6s and the bl6 what am i missing
3:13 am
Haz1558
no6 and so6.
3:20 am
Haz1558
I'm off to get the day kicked into shape. Enjoy the grid!

morning, cute baby grid. does it bite?
6:50 am
crosshair
well for you early birds,here is crossy,s tidbit of the day!....
6:50 am
mamabook3
fireworks!! Not bad for most of the puzzle. Just a handful of words that are really mindbenders!
6:50 am
crosshair
When Albert Einstein died, his final words died with him. The nurse at his side didn't understand German.
6:50 am
featherbee
congrats mamabook
6:50 am
crosshair
it does indeed bite..actually i think it is teething
6:51 am
featherbee
i remember hearing that before crossy.
6:51 am
redturtlehead
congrats Mama!
6:51 am
mamabook3

6:53 am
featherbee

6:53 am
mamabook3
Yeah, but have been out of the loop for about a year. Just started back with summer vacation. but fireworks twice this week will probably keep me around for a while
6:53 am
robbie09
morning babblers!
6:53 am

6:54 am

sigh, i should scoot. the kitchen awaits.
6:57 am
robbie09
crossy, mine says friend request sent, too:(
6:57 am
mamabook3
good thing about kitchens, they tend to wait as long as you let them
6:58 am
robbie09
lol mama
7:00 am
crosshair
sorry robbie,i am new at fb,so you will have to be patient with me
7:01 am
mamabook3
unfortunately, robbie, kiddos aren't as patient, especially when it comes to breakfast!
7:01 am
robbie09
no problem crossy:)

we should of got it looked at sooner,but came on so fast,a simple blocked pore or sweat gland can cause this it seems
7:15 am
robbie09

well, I better get going! I'll be back at lunch time:)

4:05 pm
stidmama
overcast here too -- Tom spent the morning working in the yard (SO much to do!) and I spent the morning running errands in town (stidkid#1's prom tonight).
4:05 pm
stidmama
glad your bonny boy is doing okay, too.
4:06 pm
uusue2
hope kid#1 has a great time!!!
4:06 pm
stidmama
I think he will, going with his best friend from 1st grade (now girlfriend)
4:07 pm
sciencegeek
O clue please
4:08 pm
uusue2
o + double cons + vowel
4:08 pm
stidmama

4:11 pm
sciencegeek
Festival is slow..not many folks
4:12 pm
uusue2
no5/14, no6/24 (chemical and plural)
4:12 pm
Minveryork
no 4/4:what some call their grandmother sciencegeek
4:12 pm
uusue2
and no4/4 (meaning nothing)
4:12 pm
stidmama
too bad. everything here is slow, too. slow to start, slow to move. Even our local fruit stand isn't open yet.
4:13 pm
Minveryork
no 5/14 is negative prefix plus sometimes vowel plus a consonant and no 6/24 word is plural of no 5/14 word.
4:13 pm
sciencegeek
Got the ns. Need one more s, m, b
4:13 pm
stidmama
aha! thanks Min!

4:21 pm
Minveryork
Here is a story of clues fr 4/8 Minveryork.I am amazed at the really mo5/12 speed some babblers are able to get their FWs sa4/4 the list. If I were to babble alo4/4 I'd never finish any of the puzzles. Thank goodness for the chog. I would be lo4/4 without the expert cluers in the chog.Mo4/5 of the words I find are because of expert babblers who give great clues. If no 4/4 of you existed, I would never finish. It ro4/4 when I come to Babbleland and the chog is empty. Hubby is about to to4/4 me off the computer. Now I'm going to go make so4/4 franchais for dinner.Then I'm going to go watch the movie "Gr5/14 Anatomy" with my two so4/4 on my so4/7 couch.I hope the we don't lose power because of the thunder st 5/12. I will be back later on tonight.
4:21 pm
Mom
oh Min, allergies are awful
4:21 pm
Minveryork
Goodbye stidmama! I will see you later on in the chog.

4:25 pm
uusue2
hi, ruru and jes!
4:25 pm
Mom
Sunny, bright and hot here. Suppose to cool off tonight
4:26 pm
rururocks
nice here too.. on my way to SF... to walk the beaches
4:26 pm
Mom
sounds delightful, ruru
4:26 pm
jesdraggon
that's a very ... smiley... goat you've got, ru
4:26 pm
uusue2
sorry, all, but I feel pretty much like sh4/4 and am going to go lie down for a while - bbl -
4:27 pm
Mom
oh uusue, so sorry to hear that. Feel better soon. ((hugs))
4:27 pm
jesdraggon
bye, uusue, feel better.
4:27 pm
rururocks
oh.. any luck with the restraining order?
4:27 pm
Soodle
Hi everybody :-) Sue - sorry your not feeling too good.
4:27 pm
jesdraggon
i need to go slip my dog some valium, as the thunder is upseting her. back in a couple seconds.
4:28 pm
Mom
(((Soodle))) hello
4:28 pm
Soodle
(((((Mom)))). Long time no 'see'. How are you?
4:28 pm
rururocks
*holds out dog dish for jes*
4:28 pm
uusue2
ruru, I can't get one b/c I have no relationship to son's gf. Best I could do is call police, file a report, and ask that she be banned from my house; then if she returns it would be trespassing and I could have her arrested.
4:28 pm
Mom
Just dandy, Soodle! HOw are you?
4:29 pm
rururocks
that's a start uu.. good going
4:29 pm
uusue2
but I haven't done that yet (son doesn't want to involve police) and probably won't. However if she ever shows up here again that is what I will do.
4:29 pm
Mom
oh uusue, that sounds terrible
4:29 pm
rururocks
maybe some new locks on the door will help UU
4:30 pm
Minveryork
Hello jessdraggon! How are you? Welcome to the grid.
4:30 pm
Soodle
Also dandy, Mom :-). Sue, that sounds like a horrible problem. (((())))
4:30 pm
Minveryork
Hello Soodlebum! How are you doing? Welcome to grid
4:30 pm
jesdraggon
no dog dish; she's too nervous to eat. Just gotta shove 'em down. 2 valium and 1 ambien, down the hatch. :)
4:30 pm
Soodle
I am very well, thank you Min. I hope those allergies aren't causing you too much grief.
4:31 pm
uusue2
we are keeping the house locked (although son keeps forgetting his keys and removing windows to get in); I don't plan to have son's door replaced, figure it is his problem (it was locked but she shattered the frame to get in)
4:31 pm
jesdraggon
I am pretty sure, uusue, that you don't have to get a prior police contact for trespassing. All that's required is that you ask the person to leave your property. If they don't immediately do so, they're trespassing.
4:31 pm
rururocks
no jess.. just for me..:D
4:31 pm
MollyL
Hi All. Sue, I'm sorry psycho girlfriend from hell is still causing you grief.
4:32 pm
uusue2
Yes, I will do that if she ever shows her face here again, jes.
4:32 pm
jesdraggon
That said, I'd recommend contacting them anyway, and keeping records (date, time, duration, details) of every incident.
4:32 pm
jesdraggon
just for you, ru? the valium? or the dog dish?
4:32 pm
Soodle
<--------- Had valium once. At the dentists. (I bit him, drew blood, and he refused to treat me again unless I was sedated!). I LOVED the whole valium experience. I can see how people could get addicted.
4:32 pm
uusue2
good idea, jes, I will get that started. Hopefully there will be no more additions to the list (she did smash his glasses a couple of weeks ago)
4:32 pm
LuwandaHL
Hi all. Quick babble before going to dinner with niece.
4:33 pm
Minveryork
Hello MollyL! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
4:33 pm
Mom
<---- never had valium
4:33 pm
Minveryork
Hello LuwandaHL! How are you? Welcome to the chog.
4:33 pm
uusue2
Valium sounds like a good idea right about now :-P
4:33 pm
Mom
hello LuwandaHL, there is no such thing as a quick babble with this one, it is a stinker
4:34 pm
Soodle
Sue, that sounds like a nightmare situation. Is she likely to return to your house?
4:34 pm
jesdraggon
For anybody that cares, I am writing up and posting stories and pictures from my recent Alaska vacation. I'm about half way through. Go to http://draggonlaady.livejournal.com/ta
g/alaska and start at the bottom.
4:34 pm
LuwandaHL
I keep popping in and out. It is definitely a stinker. I haven't gone to the list yet
4:35 pm
Mom
the list will definitely help
4:35 pm
Minveryork
It's a small grid, so I will have plenty of time to look at that jessdraggon. Thank you so much for sharing w/us
4:35 pm
Mom
sounds neat Jes
4:35 pm
LuwandaHL
I loved alaska!
4:36 pm
Minveryork
LuwandaHL,just posted a story of clues if need to use
4:36 pm
jesdraggon
I loved alaska too, luwanda, but am not a big fan of alaska airlines...
4:36 pm
jesdraggon
i swear, if i ever go back i'm taking the ferry.
4:37 pm
Minveryork
I listed after 30 words,then got down to 4 words with a list LuwandaHL. I am saving my last word for later on.
4:37 pm
MollyL
<---- Thinks certain people who are way too hyper and drama queen-ish would be better off with daily doses of Valium.
4:38 pm
Soodle
Jes, I just bookmarked your page. I'm going to read it tonight in bed...... My uncle was a priest in Alaska in the '60s and '70's, and it seemed to us back then to be about as exotic as the Moon.
4:38 pm
Mom
<---- Molly, not nice to talk about me like that
4:38 pm
Soodle
LOL Mom, I thought Moll was talking about me!!!
4:39 pm
Mom
Molly, not nice to talk about Soodle like that
4:39 pm
MollyL
Oh Mom, not you. If everyone was like you, the world would be a much happier place. You too Madame Soodle.
4:39 pm
uusue2
Soodle, I hope not but they have a history that goes back several years, punctuated by this sort of thing (although this is the first time she's done property damage to my house), and she lives about half a block away.
4:40 pm
Mom
ah shucks, thanks Molly. You are far to kind
4:40 pm
Soodle
((((Thank you Madame Moll)))). Sue, does you son still have feelings for this girl?
4:40 pm
jesdraggon
Sounds like a good, healthy relationship, uusue
4:41 pm
uusue2
I think he does, soodle; they broke up earlier this spring and he got a new gf but then went back to this one ("I know the bad parts are pretty bad, mom, but the good parts are really good!")
4:42 pm
uusue2
if he starts seeing her again I am forcibly dragging him to therapy; this is an extraordinarily unhealthy relationship.
4:42 pm
Soodle
Jeepers, I just read what I typed.....Does he still 'have feelings for this girl'... I sound like my mother!!!!
4:42 pm
uusue2
lol, soodle, it's scary when we start sounding like our parents, isn't it?
4:42 pm
Soodle
How old is your son, Sue?
4:43 pm
MollyL
<---- Would like to have a talk with Sue's son about setting healthy boundaries. Believe me, I have walked the road he's walking.
4:43 pm
uusue2
he's 21, soodle; they've been going out for 3 or 4 years now (at least 4 now that I think about it)
4:43 pm
uusue2
hey, molly, any time you want to come over and talk to him you are more than welcome. I think he needs to hear it from someone other than me.
4:44 pm
Mom
would he listen to Frank, Uusue?
4:44 pm
MollyL
That's why a therapist of some sort is probably a very good idea. They can't hear it from those close to them, but they might from someone objective.
4:44 pm
uusue2
and I've been there too, molly, with his dad no less, aargh.
4:45 pm
Mom
((Molly and Uusue))
4:45 pm
Soodle
Hmm. I have a son who will be 21 soon. To talk to him is like talking to the wall. He knows it all. I am an old fogie who knows nothing. Its a difficult place to be, Sue, I totally understand.
4:45 pm
uusue2
he does a little, mom, but Frank is also part of the "parental units" to him so not as effective as an outside observer.
4:45 pm
uusue2
thx, soodle; he really is a great kid in many ways but this is just driving me insane.
4:46 pm
Mom
Use to have a refrigerator magnet when my boys were younger ... Now I know why animals eat their young.
4:47 pm
Mom
I see, uusue, about Frank I mean
4:47 pm
Mom
they are all great kids, you love them dearly, just don't love what they do
4:47 pm
uusue2
lol, mom! I understand the feeling! (although I would also cheerfully dismember anyone who threatened him, of course - he is still my baby after all!)
4:47 pm
Soodle
LOL Mom, I'm going to look for one of those for my refridgerator!
4:48 pm
uusue2
anyway I still feel pretty crappy (headache) and am going to go lie down for a while. see you all later - and thanks for all the understanding - it really does help!!!
4:48 pm
MollyL
I think it's hard to see anyone you love participate in self-destructive behavior
4:48 pm
Mom
I don't have it any longer or I would send it to you. I have replaced it with:
Money doesn't buy happiness but it sure keeps the kids around
4:49 pm
Soodle
But I can empathise with your frustration Sue. To see a loved on heading on a collision course and not heeding the warnings is very upsetting.
4:49 pm
Mom
take care ((Uusue))

I said a prayer..please God no rain for the wedding or reception....well, He took me literally...it stopped raining at exactly 2 PM..the start of the wedding..lol
5:16 pm
Soodle
My eldest is 20, and my youngest is 16, with a 19 yr old in between, so I guess its a safe bet that they will all get married within 5/6 years of each other. I will be a snivelling mess.........
5:17 pm
robbie09
lots of weddings to look forward to Soodle!
5:17 pm
Mom
we must have had a hot line to heaven last week. It didn't rain until 10:30 pm
5:17 pm
robbie09
Yeah, Mom!
5:18 pm
Mom
you will indeed be a wreck, Soodle
