mrp when you finish with Jilli I have one for you
1:06 am
westford
ruru : (
1:06 am
mrpresident
ok here it comes jilli
1:06 am
mrpresident
ok west
1:11 am
mrpresident
Jilli, your purse is a symbol of material possessions, values, security, purchasing power and prosperity or lack of it.
To leave it behind in busy areas is leaving behind material, monetary, pratical and functional states of consciousness all in having to do with making and spending money.
Not having found the purse represents the price you hat to pay, a lost sense of values, loss of freedom, identity, capability, power, energy, conections ; loss of something you value highly.
This could all come down to mean material rewards for labours of your mind and body, an exchange of energies or it could be karmic debt!
Hope this helps jilli... just my understanding of your dream and if you need any clarification, let me know.
1:13 am
jillibus
Thanks, mrp -- food for thought
1:15 am
jillibus
how about loss of husband and planned way of life, mrp? Still haunts me after 15 years.
1:15 am
mrpresident
ok west, give me a short and sweet one... anything too long I have to take time to decipher
1:16 am
mrpresident
are you being haunted??
1:16 am
westford
we stayed in a hotel recently and there was a white duvet on the bed I woke up and thought someone had hung it on the wall and it scared me so much I yelled out in my sleep woke myself and my husband
1:17 am
mrpresident
send me your dream about the loss of your husband and what happens in it, email it to me and I will help you find some light!
1:19 am
mrpresident
ok west... working on it now
1:20 am
jillibus
mrp, loss of husband was no dream. It happened suddenly 15 years ago.
1:23 am
mrpresident
West - the hotel represents a transient state, attitude or feeling, a phase you are going through or may symbolise constant activity with much coming and going of ideas.
The duvet symbolised security or a cover-up... finding the duvet on the wall may denote no security or feeling unsure of yourself... as it is on a wall, it represents your obstacles, limitations, boundry or protection. Wall represent mental limits, barriers, prejudices, obstinancy, fixed thinking or old habit patterns which obstruct your thinking and understanding abilities.
Hope this sheds some light on the dream xox
1:23 am
westford
that is excellent mrp thank you !!
1:24 am
mrpresident
oh jilli!! reality is just awful! I am sorry you still greive!!
1:24 am
mrpresident
west - white duvet means success where failure is feared.
1:24 am
jillibus
it's ok, mrp
1:25 am
mrpresident
you are just beautiful jilli... sorry you are alone ...
1:26 am
westford
it makes sense now mrp
1:27 am
jillibus
me too, mrp -- thanks.
1:28 am
jillibus
I mean I'm sorry too
1:28 am
mrpresident
oh good west! glad I could help you through that
1:28 am
westford
jilli my dad went quietly in his sleep good for him bad for us
1:28 am
jillibus
but I don't dwell on it
1:28 am
jillibus
west, I'd like to do that too
1:29 am
westford
I think we all would
1:29 am
jillibus
you betcha!
1:29 am
westford
I've been meaning to ask you jilli, how long have you been on Salt Spring Island?
1:31 am
jillibus
I've been here for that 15 years, west. Hubby went to that permanent sleep the evening after we put the offer in on this house. We had already sold the place in the Montreal area. Luckily this happened when we were staying with his brother here and he and my sis-in-law were a great help.
1:32 am
westford
my goodness sorry he never got to enjoy it
1:32 am
mrpresident
oh jilli! so so sorry!
1:32 am
jillibus
I had to pack up the big place and move here within 2 months.
1:33 am
westford
since our oldest daughter has decided to move to Seattle we'll probably be out that way one day
1:33 am
mrpresident
you are one strong lady jilli... luv ya
1:33 am
westford
what a predicament but good you had to keep busy
1:34 am
jillibus
Yes -- when we looked at the plce he saw the lovely view from the bedroom window and said "Imagine waking up to this every morning!" He never did.
1:34 am
westford
that was his gift to you
1:35 am
mrpresident
he made sure you were alright jilli... a gift indeed!
1:35 am
jillibus
That and many other intangibles. But we had so many plans, such as driving down the west coast and exploring it...no fun alone.
1:36 am
jillibus
Anyway, such is life and we go on and make a new way.
1:37 am
mrpresident
so so sad, i feel sorrow for you jilli, but know you have luv around you
1:38 am
westford
I want to be jilli and to hell with duvets lol
1:38 am
jillibus
Life is pretty good (except for that damned lost purse, lol!)
1:39 am
westford
you need to dream that it has been returned
1:39 am
westford
jilli how far are you from Seattle?
1:39 am
jillibus
It's really scary and I wake myself up
1:41 am
westford
not so scary in real life big hassle but it can all be replaced
1:41 am
jillibus
Not far in miles, west, but it's an hour and a half ferry ride plus another 35 minute ferry ride plus half an hour to get to the ferry and half an hour to get there in time to ensure getting on it, plus maybe missing the connection and waiting another two hours, plus driving about an hour on the mainland to get there, lol!
1:42 am
westford
but it's a lot closer than Rhode Island
1:42 am
westford
did you see that our daughter is moving there?
1:43 am
jillibus
no west -- moving where? to SEattle?
1:45 am
westford
yes Seattle so I imagine we'll be going out there to visit one of these days
1:46 am
jillibus
Well, there's another way -- taking a float plane to Vancouver directly from here (25 minutes) and then the drive to Seattle -- and the reverse. So if you go to visit her you could come and see Salt Spring and stay here.
1:47 am
jillibus
My guest room awaits...
1:47 am
westford
we'd love that jilli but I think the ferry trek sounds more fun
1:47 am
westford
and the same goes for you if you ever come back east
1:47 am
jillibus
The ferries are great.
1:48 am
westford
I think we wouldn't want to leave
1:48 am
jillibus
Come and see!
1:49 am

But RI is pretty nice, I hear. I loved New England.

3:49 am
mrpresident

3:50 am
sprite

3:50 am
mrpresident
and yes, Jolanda is just a mouthpiece for your father in my opinion
3:50 am
mrpresident
she seemed like nothing to me anyway
3:50 am
sprite
yes, nothing more. She had no 'feeling' of importance either in my dream.
3:51 am
mrpresident
good, I read that correctly then!
3:52 am
sprite

3:52 am

rubyfoo
I thought tr6/30 was a science fiction movie word
3:53 am
rubyfoo
but tried it anyway
3:53 am
rubyfoo
Day of the Tr****s
3:53 am
sprite
lol I was just wondering what kind of word tw5/20 was and what must have moved me to try it.
3:53 am
mrpresident
If I ever see one, I am leaving the planet!!
3:54 am
sprite
it is a s/f movie, that is for sure. But I think the word must have had meaning before then.
3:54 am
rubyfoo
I monkeyed tw5 haha
3:55 am
rubyfoo
looked it up, means divided into three parts
3:55 am
mrpresident
disappointed today... my games were cancelled... I didn't get to do my three hours of running! waaahhh
3:55 am
rubyfoo
yay, half
3:55 am
sprite
ok, yes, it means cleft into 3 parts or lobes. So the name has been derived from the word.
3:56 am
sprite
aw poor mrP. Well, maybe it is time to take things a little easier ;)
3:56 am
mrpresident
and that 3 hours of exercise and concentration includes lot's of hot men in shorts!! darn it!!
3:56 am
rubyfoo
did the aliens have 3 heads? never saw the movie
3:57 am
rubyfoo
mrp is obsessed with the outfits; ruby is obsessed with the colors!
3:57 am
sprite
no they don't. They are kind of walking plants. They have 3 'rootlegs' on which they move.
3:57 am
mrpresident
three legs
3:57 am
mrpresident
i just luv a soccer player!! especially in warm up!
3:57 am
rubyfoo
the weeds in my garden must be walking because they appear to be taking over!
3:58 am
sprite
you will have to look at lickety's not at all untasty legs then, mrP :)
3:58 am
mrpresident
no shirt.... sweaty... perfect view of my favourite part of the male body... uuuuuuuhhhhhh!
3:58 am
mrpresident
lickety stopped playing sprite!! I am choked up about it!
3:58 am
sprite
jeezzz I suddenly remember the times when we joked about lickety's package, mrP ;)
3:58 am
mrpresident
hahaha !!!!
3:59 am
sprite
aw that is sad. Why has he stopped?
3:59 am
mrpresident
I am choking laughing!!
3:59 am
rubyfoo
oh no! my sister keeps sending me newspaper headlines about packages....
3:59 am
mrpresident
cause the club he was with screwed him and me badly last december, after 6 years with them!!
3:59 am
mrpresident
luv a package!!
4:00 am
sprite
lol yes, brilliant. Rubyfoo, when lickety had to make moderations to the stats, we said he was adjusting his package. And I offered to help.
4:00 am
rubyfoo
I'm too old..... :(
4:00 am
rubyfoo
just fell off my chair, sprite
4:00 am
mrpresident
he had no idea what was coming!!
4:00 am
rubyfoo
I had never heard that usage before the "wiener" incidents
4:00 am
sprite
not old at all then, rubyfoo, grin
4:01 am
sprite
lol no, it was bad and soooo good.
But am sad about the club, mrP. That hurts. Good for him though to quit them.
4:01 am
mrpresident
well, when a man says he is adjusting his package... and he is a geeky dork dweeb... he deserved it! cause he is also gorgeous!! and naive!
4:02 am
mrpresident
he felt like a million dollars after that sprite... thinks all the girls luv him now!
4:02 am
rubyfoo
time to leave this fair group! see you all much later, 75 words so far
4:02 am
mrpresident

4:03 am
mrpresident
any surprises in my dream reading sprite!!??
4:03 am
mrpresident
***kisses*** back to ruby!!
4:04 am
sprite
yes, the different parts of the car, I never heard that before. Very interesting.
4:04 am
mrpresident
yes, those details are important!
4:05 am
mrpresident
I would have liked to have known what animal your sister was holding
4:05 am
sprite
and the bookshelves too.
4:05 am
sprite
mrP, I don't really know. It was something between a dog and a cat. But not domesticated, although it was tamed.
4:06 am
mrpresident
yes, I figured tame, so wrote it into the interpretation
4:06 am
mrpresident
I didn't care if it was a wolf, a badger, a penguin.... you said it was kind and smart
4:06 am
sprite
yes, and that fi4 very well with the rest of the dream.
4:07 am
mrpresident
cool... am glad
4:07 am
mrpresident
the bookshelves was important
4:07 am
sprite
your interpretation is a great addition to my own, I am very happy with it. Thanks again for taking all this trouble.
4:07 am
mrpresident
destroying things is very empowering, and what you destroy shows deeply what you are hurt by
4:08 am
mrpresident
it is ok sprite... I even got additional help from another reader.
4:08 am
mrpresident
she had some good insights too
4:09 am
sprite
tell her thanks for me, please
4:10 am
mrpresident
i will sweetie... I loved your ancient tree view of yourself... so so true!!
4:10 am
sprite
that was a very powerful moment in the dream, yes. Very nice to feel!
4:11 am
mrpresident
I believe you are all those things!! take them and run with them!!
4:12 am
sprite
I will. You know what Young always said about dreams: 'Dreams are letters from God. And most people throw them away unopened."
4:12 am
mrpresident
oh no!! so so sad... I luv dreams and read them regularly
4:13 am
mrpresident
it really helps us to see through the bulls**t
4:13 am
sprite
yes so do I. They tell a lot about ourselves and our process.
4:14 am
sprite
one a sideline: if I try 'setup' one more time, please kick me.
4:15 am
mrpresident
*positioning the foot*... to the fender?? or side of car?
4:17 am
mrpresident
were you satisfied with the opening statement of my reading? telling you about who the people meant first??
4:18 am
sprite
yes, that was helpful. And doing that first makes the rest of the reading more clear, so I think that was the right way to go about it.
4:19 am
mrpresident
oh good! I didn't want to explain it all during the reading... that would have been confusing to me too
4:21 am
sprite
hey, that funny ya verb from yesterday is here again. And now I know it. Babble student graduation!
4:22 am
mrpresident
the ya is a babblet!
4:22 am
mrpresident
I automatically type it in now
4:23 am
mrpresident
I want twifi to be a word!!
4:24 am
sprite
looks like one to me, so you have my vote
4:24 am
mrpresident
'it is twifi to have good friends!'
4:24 am
mrpresident
a shortening of terrific
4:24 am
sprite
works for me
4:24 am
mrpresident
I am making that word viral!! LOL
4:25 am
sprite
that was an aborted attempt to make something from yup
4:25 am
mrpresident

4:26 am
sprite

4:26 am
mrpresident

sprite
remove needles = depin, right?
4:27 am
sprite
and taking away someone's beer...
4:27 am

4:28 am
mrpresident

mrpresident

4:29 am
mrpresident

4:30 am
mrpresident

4:30 am
sprite
oh man I have 53 left and I really cannot see where they might hide, lol.
4:31 am
mrpresident
my friend made me laugh so hard.... we have an aussie band with a song 'cheap wine and a three day growth'... guess what she sings??
4:31 am
sprite

4:32 am
mrpresident
'cheap wine and a three legged goat' !!!
4:32 am
sprite
roflollllll
4:32 am
mrpresident

4:34 am
sprite

And "Tell it to her plain - tell it to her plane"
But a friend of mine had the best of all: "You're the devil in disguise - you're the devil in the skies."
4:35 am
mrpresident

4:38 am

4:39 am
sprite
we have this music to dance on in sacred dance, which is in some language I do not know at all, like russian. A friend of mine once pointed out that at one point they sing "milkshake" and "melkdieet" (last word means a diet with only milk). We can never keep a straight face anymore when we dance that one.

I don't see why we can't shake the babble letters more.
7:07 am

I think someone at Mission Control has gotten lazy.
7:07 am
lynxxx
DrG does it on purpose - lulls you into thinking you can do it easily for days on end - then hits you with an impossible one
7:07 am
Kaplan the Magne
He sits there and plots each letter?
7:07 am
MollyL
So much for all those claims that these grids are random.
7:08 am
lynxxx
absolutely - didn't you know?
7:08 am
Kaplan the Magne
I wonder how many days in advance he plans them.
7:09 am
Kaplan the Magne
Maybe we're supposed to have toea 8 times a month, and crwth once a year.
7:09 am
lynxxx
not far - one Christmas a few years ago we ran out!!
7:10 am
MollyL
I am now picturing Dr. God, alone, in a room littered with empty Mountain Dew cans and beef jerky wrappers, laughing maniacally as he plots out each grid.
7:10 am
Kaplan the Magne
Ran out of letters?
7:10 am
lynxxx
Yep - well - grids anyway
7:11 am
MollyL
Now picturing the Babble page, with nothing on it but:
SORRY - RAN OUT OF GRIDS
7:12 am
hydra
Hi all. Do you think Dr God reads the chog?
7:12 am
Kaplan the Magne
Sorry, ran out of letters. Grid only half full.

7:13 am

carleekat

8:50 am
Mom
I did make chicken enchaladias (sp) on Monday. I can't eat them but the kids and sweetie loved them
8:50 am
carleekat
or turkey ( turkey has more flavour so i generally do turkey leftovers )
8:51 am
Mom
Cheap works good in this house too ..... bought chicken breast tenderloins for 1.99/lb. this week
8:51 am
Mom
we will tons of turkey after today, ship some to the kids and will have plenty for sandwiches and ala king
8:51 am
carleekat

8:53 am
Mom

Mom, it's amazing what is here and what isn't in Canada and vice versa. My husband was very disappointed that we have no Kraft Peanut Butter (if you can dig that)
8:55 am
carleekat
enjoy mum..have a great day
8:55 am
Mom
((Carlee)) thanks for the food ideas. I hope something strikes your fancy for supper
8:55 am
carleekat

8:55 am
carleekat
me too... me too mum
8:55 am
MollyL
Never heard of it until Dan got here.
8:56 am
Mom
((Molly)) agreed. Also surprised that England doesn't have graham crackers
8:56 am
carleekat
( mind i only use skippy lite when making peanut butter cups )
8:56 am
Mom
hmmm Kraft peanut butter. Wonder if it taste like Jif
8:56 am
MollyL
Digestive biscuits Mom (why that name I'll never know)
8:56 am
carleekat

( they are easy to digest...)
8:57 am
Mom

8:57 am
MollyL
Makes them sound like a laxative. Bye Mom, have a good day.
8:57 am
carleekat
any slow cooker ideas molls?
8:58 am
MollyL
I only do really standard stuff. Pulled pork barbecue, pot roast, etc. Anything you put onion soup mix in is a home run in my book.
8:59 am
carleekat
<sigh> nothing is sounding appealing... i am in a food funk...
8:59 am
MollyL
July is use up the frozen meat month for me. I try to keep a six month limit on what I freeze. Defrosting pork tenderloin to have in a sauce over noodles.
9:00 am
carleekat
i cant do pork....
9:00 am
carleekat
( when i did...we used to make a nice buttery sage dressing..and slice the tenderloin lengthwise..and stuff... cut into medalians when served..was one of my most favs )
9:00 am
MollyL
Pulled beef barbecue is just as good.
9:01 am
MollyL
Oh, you meant the tenderloin. I don't use my slow cooker much in the summer.
9:01 am
carleekat
yes..with the pork tenderloin
9:02 am
carleekat
well..will feel like 106 today... and i dont have a/c...so i dont want to turn on my oven..and the bbq is still at old house....so....i ned to slowcook something or other...and get it strted soon
9:02 am
MollyL
That beef recipe with the spaghetti sauce mix and coke is always a hit with my clan.
9:02 am
rururocks
I don't see how I could have a slow-cooker if I am a fast eater..personally...
9:02 am
MollyL
Har-dee-har Ru. You're in the grid again. wi4. : P
9:05 am
rururocks
spaghetti sauce and coke? ugh
9:05 am
carleekat
taking some chicken out of freezer....mabybe a creamy chicken something or other...then throw pasta in later...hmm..chicken and shrimp in a cream sauce..over rice???
9:05 am
MollyL
Far too plebeian for your high falutin' cooking style Ru.
9:06 am
rururocks
I'll say
9:06 am
carleekat
its going to be a make it up as we go along dish me thinks
9:06 am

9:06 am
rururocks

9:07 am
rururocks

9:10 am
MollyL
Oh aren't you the funny one. Go put some more balsamic vinegar on your kiwi. : P
9:12 am
carleekat
i have peas... i dont have carrots atm...but i want to do over rice..am rather sick to death of taters...mind i do have baby taters in the fridge
9:12 am
rururocks
taters add texture to slow cooking
9:13 am
carleekat
so..for some reason i had a bit of a flood in my laundry room...gotta figure out where the ealk coming from..so started another load...
9:13 am
hego
You people are making me really hungry!!!!!
9:13 am
carleekat
but taters in sauce over rice is kida redundant to my way of thinking
9:13 am
carleekat
food porn
9:13 am
rururocks

9:14 am
rururocks

that's a lot of gagging over there carlee
9:17 am
hego
yes indeed ruru
9:18 am
carleekat
the chicken and shrimp with peas and onion...in a cream sauce... should be yummy ( I can start with a can of cream of mushroom soup..add thyme...and lots of fresh ground pepper..

I hear that
9:43 am
carleekat
well mrp..something i have learned ... even tho the adage is popular..."thou dost protest too much"..really does hold true... the police try hardest to nab a suspect on the weakest of cases ( ie..the right to remain silent....using coersion etc to get a statement of so me kind) and this sounds like that with her too...

( defrosting the chicken the fast way...)
9:53 am
uusue2
morning, all! trying to think of the fastest way to defrost a chicken - doesn't involve rocket fuel, does it?
9:53 am
MollyL
Microwave defrost?
9:53 am
carleekat
sink of hot water
9:53 am
MollyL
Soak in hot water?
9:54 am
crosshair
sink of lukewarm water does best
9:55 am
uusue2
I read an article once about a bunch of guys trying to come up with ever faster ways of lighting the barbecue - one set wound up with liquid oxygen rocket fuel and incinerated the whole thing in a matter of seconds
9:55 am
uusue2
it was pretty funny, actually.
9:55 am
carleekat
hahaha... that is soemthing u would see on mythbusters...
9:55 am
uusue2
but perhaps I need a bit of coffee before I am really thinking straight...
9:55 am

sounds like a guy idea
9:55 am
crosshair
lol we are all still in awe of you guys deep frying turkeys lol
9:56 am
carleekat
coffee...me wants more...toddles off to kitchen again
9:56 am
carleekat
( i cannto imagine deep fried turkey....i like stuffing and gravy way too much ...and the smell of turkey in the oven...)
9:57 am
uusue2
it's supposed to make it really nice and tender but the process is really dangerous - it has to be TOTALLY defrosted first or you can set the whole thing on fire quickly
9:58 am
hego
Let's hear it for ovens!!
9:58 am
uusue2
and I agree about the smell of roasting turkey, and the taste of stuffing that's been baked inside - they tell us for safety now that you are supposed to bake the stuffing separately but I don't think anyone actually does that
9:58 am
MollyL
Brining a turkey makes it nice and tender. I'll never mess with deep frying one. And agreed, the whole fun of having a turkey is the roasting smell in the house.
9:59 am
hego
brining is excellent
9:59 am
LuwandaHL
I like deep frying but the peanut oil is way too expensive.
9:59 am
MollyL
It's amazing we all aren't dead from all that stuffing roasted in the turkey. : P
9:59 am
MollyL
Peanut oil is the only thing I will fry in. Hence we have fried food very seldom.
10:00 am
hego
if you take it out right away it won't hurt you Molly
10:00 am
carleekat
well..i soak mine in wine...for 24 hours...inside and out...one would think that kills some of the bacteria????
10:01 am
MollyL
I was kidding Hego, I always take the stuffing out right away. Why leave it in? It's to be eaten.
10:01 am
carleekat
mine comes out right away too...
10:01 am
MollyL
Um, how much wine do you soak it in?
10:01 am
hego
Right Molly
10:02 am

Halfway. BBL

my turkey gets a whole bottle of sauv blanc to itself... i swish it inside..and lay it in a bath of it overnight..then i just stuff..and bak..in the wine it soaked in overnight
10:02 am
MollyL
Damn, I baste mine in white wine and butter and I find that a terrible waste of wine.
10:03 am
carleekat
molls..i end up with more than a L of gravy..i often still have gravy when the stuffing is all gone...and oh man..kick ass gravy
10:03 am
carleekat
( no butter..just the stuffing..and wine )
10:04 am

i baste myself in wine and the turkey gets basted un butter lol

10:05 am

oh usue, pull it off, clean it out and get it back to work
10:05 am

Nutmeg in gravy...never heard of that...not sure I'd care for that flavor in gravy.

10:06 am
uusue2
I can do that on a laptop? I've pulled keys off regular keyboards before but the laptop makes me nervous
10:06 am

I think snags is referring to the boxes in Babble Expert, which is a program you can get from Lickety.
6:20 pm
sadie52

snags
I don't wht
6:23 pm
wht
So, if you go to resources and click on MoreWords, it opens a panel on the right that hides the chat.
6:24 pm
wht
If you click on the yellow bar with the triangles on it to the left of morewords, it shows the chat again.
6:24 pm
snags
morewords is at the bottom of this page
6:24 pm
wht
click the bar, and Morewords comes back.
6:25 pm
wht
That is the resource I use most often.

Magyk
Be right back. Storm is coming and my chickens are out!
6:38 pm
Magyk
You're quite welcome, wht.
6:40 pm

OK, I googled it. I don't know the families of flora and fauna very well.

evening babblers. I have not started, should I?
6:58 pm

Go ahead, red. It is a smallish grid and not too bad.
6:58 pm
redturtlehead
Well, OK!
6:58 pm
redturtlehead
nyone have big 4th of july plans?
6:59 pm
sadie52
not me just going out back and watch fireworks in park behind house :)
6:59 pm
sadie52
what are you planning?
6:59 pm
redturtlehead
Sounds good! Nothing here, I thought I was going to have to work. But might see some Fireworks...if we have them..
6:59 pm
Magyk
Did that help, wht?
7:00 pm
wht
We will go into Boston and listen to the Pops and watch the fireworks there.
7:00 pm
redturtlehead
oooh wht, that is nice! I remember a few 4ths watching it on television with my parents! never actually been to Boston which is sad.
7:01 pm
sadie52
i would love to go and listen to the pops that sounds like a nice evening
7:03 pm
sadie52
but I likely will listen to them on tv
7:03 pm
redturtlehead
It does, especially somewhere where it is nice to sit outside...
7:03 pm
wht
We will go sit on the Cambridge side of the river. They have speakers set up there so we can hear the concert and the firworks barges are right in front of us.
7:03 pm
redturtlehead
I like Tanglewood and Wolftrap. Florida lacks these sorts of things.
7:04 pm
wht
Now that the show is televised, there are these long gaps in the concert for the comercials.
7:04 pm
MollyL
Is there a lot of traffic involved in doing that Wht?
7:04 pm
sadie52
gee i always thought they just kept playing
7:04 pm
redturtlehead
that is no fun wht, we always saw it on PBS.
7:04 pm
wht
We take the subway.
7:04 pm
wht
The trip back is not for the claustrophobic.
7:05 pm
MollyL
Ah, we have that option here in the DC area too. However the subway cars are like sardine cans.
7:05 pm
redturtlehead
I've heard complaints that the metro only uses AC on 1 of 3 cars...
7:06 pm
wht
It is worth it to us because fireworks on TV just do not match being there in person and feeling the explosions in your chest.
7:06 pm
MollyL
I've just heard that recently. I don't take the subway much, but I've never been in a car with no AC. I'm quite sure I would faint. I can't stand anyplace where the air doesn't move.
7:06 pm
redturtlehead
I think it would def be worth it.
7:07 pm
sadie52
me either molly
7:07 pm
redturtlehead
Wow Molly, you would hate me. I have no air on in the house right now at all, but there is the ceiling fan.
7:07 pm
MollyL
<--- Is claustrophobic and stays away from crowded subway cars.
7:07 pm
wht
We have been doing it for years now.
7:08 pm
MollyL
Fans are fine, they move the air. It's that closed up, no air moving feeling that gets to me.
7:09 pm
MollyL
I've known people who never open the windows in their houses. Talk about some stale air.
7:09 pm
redturtlehead
I just hate to run the air unless it is really Catastrophic hot.
7:09 pm
wht
The subway is crowded but everyone is in good spirits, and it is free.
7:09 pm
wht
At least getting back.
7:09 pm
redturtlehead
Plus I spilled a really old cup of coffee, by accident all over the carpet today. UGH, I am trying to get the smell out with baking soda...

That was truly a barbaric punishment. Those colonists were hard core.

I think the French were a little rougher
7:18 pm
rururocks
with the guillotine
7:18 pm
MollyL
What did you have for dinner Ru? Squid with goat cheese and balsamic vinegar? : P

congratulations Ruru, sorry I got distracted, by facebook!
7:32 pm
Magyk
Thank you! I apologise if I'm asking too much.
7:32 pm
wht
I'm glad you got it. It was a bit of a cryptic clue.
7:33 pm
wht
You are not asking too often.
7:33 pm
Magyk
That clue made my head itch!
7:35 pm

Sorry about that.

How is everyone?
7:43 pm

Hi Jac. I'm fine. Having a quiet evening.

Just fine, Jacula. How are you?
7:44 pm

hi jac. I am popping in and out.
7:45 pm
Jacula
Hi both. I've had a nice relaxing day after a busy day in the garden yesterday.
7:45 pm
uusue2
hi, all! I fell asleep and was confused whether it was morning or evening but apparently it is evening.
7:46 pm
uusue2
so I can find the last 11 words and to to sleep for real....
7:46 pm

Hello sue.

hi, nonnie!
7:47 pm
Jacula
Hello Sue. Well, it's 1.47am here in UK.
7:47 pm
uusue2
ah. I am actually on Babble time.
7:49 pm
Jacula
I'm trying to get used to the various time zones, what with my daughter being here, there and everywhere in the world in the past few months, but mostly in Australia. She's in Canada now, and her brother has just gone out there to meet up with her. I got phonecalls from both at a reasonable time today. (Daughter sometimes forgot the time difference after a drink or two in Oz and rang me in the early hours.) Kids. Gotta love 'em!
7:50 pm
uusue2
It can get confusing - I remember trying to set up video conference calls with colleagues in Texas, Switzerland, and Japan - it was always the middle of the night for someone!
7:51 pm
uusue2
cute kitty, btw...
7:52 pm
Jacula
That's a cat that looks very like my beloved Kira, Persian cross moggy queen. Still miss her!
7:52 pm
uusue2
awww - very sweet :-)
7:53 pm
Jacula
Tiggsey, the silver tabby 'Tom', who doesn't know he's had The Operation and so still fights and hunts follows me round since Kira died.
7:53 pm
uusue2
fireworks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7:54 pm
Jacula
He's a moggy, too. He has the 'hunting st6/21 down his back.
7:54 pm
Jacula
Well done Sue!
7:54 pm
uusue2
and Tiggsey sounds cute too :-)
7:55 pm
Jacula
Actually, that st6/21 is a fighting/hunting one that many tabbies and wild cats share.
7:56 pm
wht
Congratulations Sue.
7:56 pm
uusue2
mine are both declawed, so indoor cats (got them from the rescue center that way) so not a lot of real fighting for them. Both are female tabbies (generic cat).
7:57 pm
wht
I am going to pop out now. Does anyone need a clue before I go?
7:57 pm
uusue2
and thx, wht!
7:57 pm
Jacula
Sue, he's only 'cute' in the sense that he can 'talk' so must also have Siamese in him. If I say 'Hello' when I get him up in the morning, he miaows 'Hello' back. If I say 'Morning!', he will miaow 'Meeorning!' back. If I go out of the house without him, he will follow me so far yelling, 'Ow No! Don't go!' It's very funny, but he did lose his mother too early.
7:58 pm
rolotom
Clue for last pr5 please?
7:59 pm
Jacula
rolo - pr + electrically charged particle.
7:59 pm
wht
It sounds like it should be some kind of sub-atomic particle
7:59 pm
uusue2
one of mine is also very mouthy, jac; she really is cute, and funny...
7:59 pm
wht
But I think it is a fragment of a virus.
8:00 pm
uusue2
it is, wht, like the things that cause mad cow disease
8:00 pm
Jacula
wht - it's also another word for a petrel (seabird).
8:01 pm
wht
What a versatile word. :^)
8:02 pm
Jacula
Anyone need any more clues?
8:04 pm
DR1965

Or maybe not! Congrats DR!
8:14 pm
DR1965
I am going to go get the laundry out of hte machine.. thanks for the clues-
8:15 pm
Jacula
There was a car back in the 70s called a TR7. My managing diretor owned one. One day, he stopped to offer me a lift in the rain. It was a very low slung car and I had very high heels and a very short skirt on. Imagine trying to get in and out of that elegantly (and without showing your knickers). LOL
8:17 pm
Jacula
My Gawd! I've made myself sound like Tina Turner, except that I was about 20 then.
8:17 pm
DR1965
ROFL! That is like when my hubby had a car that he was delivering to someone and it was low like that and I was 7 months pregnant and once I got in, there was no getting out :)
8:18 pm
Krista
Hi ladies...speaking of cars, I'll give you one guess what's on the telly, Jac.
8:19 pm
gapeach
Congrats, uusue!!!!
8:19 pm
Krista
Hey there DR. I've got 20 left - what aout you?
8:20 pm
Jacula
DR - I did that late pregnancy thing when I lay down on a bench in the sun in our back garden and forgot that hubby was upstairs at the front of the house playing his electric guitar. I was like a beached whale but on my back on the bench, trashing about and squeaking, 'HELP!' I did eventually manage to roll over enought to get myself up, but it's not easy to bend a baby belly.
8:20 pm
Jacula
Hi Krista. It wouldn't be 'Top Gear' AGAIN, would it? LOL
8:21 pm
Krista
It would. Though Netflix only has four more episodes left...YAAAYYY!
8:22 pm
Krista
Love your preggo stories, Jac and DR. You paint a picture with words, lol.
8:23 pm
Jacula
*smiles @ Krista* He WILL find a way to get more episodes, you know. The latest series, which began last week put Alice Cooper on the track.
8:25 pm
Krista
He is scheming. For some reason, we can't get streaming BBC programs here. He told me some idea he had about getting a British IP address or some other craziness, lol.
8:25 pm
Krista
May I have a clue for that infernal M word, please?
8:26 pm
Jacula
Well, Krista, life with pregnancy, giving birth, life with pregnancy and a job when you already have one child, live at work when you have children, life at home with children, meanopause at home with a step child etc., etc. How can anyone fail to find painful or amusing stories to tell?
8:27 pm
Jacula
Krista - mu + one day you WILL be ri* of that dratted Top Gear programme.
8:28 pm
Jacula
The word refers to a family of rodents - mice mostly.
8:28 pm
Krista
True, we've all got our war stories. Would you believe tried that one? At least I thought I did. Thank you.
8:28 pm
Jacula
y/w Krista.
8:31 pm
Jacula
If no one had 'war stories' to tell, no books would get written. Not even Enid Blyton's books, which, of course, were hanging on to the Old Way.
8:31 pm
Krista
*googling Enid Blyton* :)
8:32 pm
Krista
Ah, ok. I see they found a previously unknown novel in Feb. of this year.
8:34 pm
Jacula
Omigod! YOu've not heard of Enid Blyton? The Famous Five, The Secret Seven, The Mystery of The Missings, Noddy & Big Ears, The Faraway Tree, Those Naught Chidlren.... I could go on. She wrote over 700 books.
8:34 pm
Krista
Not sure if she is lesser-known here or I was culturally deprived!
8:35 pm
Jacula
I guess he never made it in the USA. LOL.
8:35 pm
Jacula
*She, not he.
8:36 pm
Jacula
Her modern equivalent is probably JK Rowling.
8:36 pm
Jacula
Except that JKR appeals to all the adults who ever read Enid Blyton. LOL
8:36 pm
Krista
Patrick said he never heard of her here. Hm, maybe I'll read some of her books. I never let my age stop me.
8:37 pm
Jacula
Krista - read away, you're in for a real treat with lashings of giner beer.
8:37 pm
Krista
Ha, I bet you're right. Though I don't know much about Harry Potter. My kids never liked it.
8:38 pm
Jacula
Krista - never mind if your kidas didn't like Harry Potter - read the books for yourself!
8:39 pm

What a deprived USA population. I have two shelves of EB's. Read Farway Tree to the grade 2's last year and they loved it
8:39 pm
Krista
My sister did just that. She doesn't have kids. I did start the first book with the kids and really liked it (they did not). I'll put it on my to-do list. *adding ten millionth item to list*
8:40 pm
Jacula
Krista - I wonder if you've ever read my favourite book - 'The Secret Garden' by Frances Hodgson Burnett?
8:41 pm
Krista
Many many years ago, yes. :) Yep, sounds like we missed a great author, vanilla.

Hi again Vanilla. My daughter has just left Oz when her visa ran out, but she will be back again soon. I just thought of another favourite EB book - The Children of Cherry Tree Farm. And I've also just recalled 'The Naughtiest Girl In The School', though searching for that title re Google may bring up things many peopele may not want to see. LOL

I suspect you are right, Jac. I couldn't believe the trash that would come up when I was a Girl Scout leader and had to Google "Girl Scouts." Sounds like you've got the Babble addiction, Vanilla.

Oh Vanilla, so many places I can hardly begin to type. I want a map so I can do pins and then cotton for the way she whizzed about. Brisbane to start, Cairns, Adelaide and I can't remember where else.
8:50 pm
vanillaslice
ok next time she should 'do the west', particularly up north
8:51 pm
Jacula
She's in Canada now and her brother has gone to Calgary to meet her, and both will be staying with my ex-bro and sister in law there. They have to meet my uncle and aunt, too, and go to stay with my cousin on his conservation island.
8:51 pm
Krista

Minveryork
Oops! I clued the tr 6/30 word Krista, so sorry!

8:54 pm
Minveryork
tr 6/30 is three prefix plus ***o(a popular dog's name)

10:24 pm
uusue2

10:25 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

10:26 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
nevertheless, i hit some garage sales and found some more books, weeee
10:26 pm
uusue2
we got up to 93, yuck
10:26 pm
uusue2
but I still have not turned on the air conditioning...
10:26 pm
Minveryork
Hi Book Doctor Gwen! How are you? Welcome to grid.
10:27 pm
uusue2
I found some books yesterday too but in Barnes and Noble :-)
10:27 pm
uusue2
and I am still reading my way through a stash that I got from a local library that was giving away books that hadn't sold at their sale - got close to 100 books from that, I think
10:27 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
NOOOO!!!!! lolol
10:28 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
(and hi, Min!)
10:28 pm
uusue2
well, I broke down and bought The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, which I have been wanting for a while
10:28 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
me too, on the air conditioning. i really really hate it. and it contributes to the climate prob too
10:28 pm
uusue2
and then a couple of mysteries from their bargain bin
10:29 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
yeah, that science/medical one does look interesting
10:29 pm
uusue2
and costs an arm and a leg besides! (the A/C that is)
10:29 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
you think making hot molecules slow down should be cheaper . . .
10:30 pm
uusue2
I'm also reading No More Enemies, a proposed solution to the Palestinian/Israeli conflict written by my sister-in-law
10:31 pm
uusue2
no, unfortunately the second law of thermodynamics tells us that if you want to transfer heat from a cooler place (your house) to a warmer place (the outside) it takes energy to do it. Sad but true.
10:31 pm
uusue2
This is when I REALLY wish the city had allowed me to install the geothermal heat pump I wanted several years ago...
10:31 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
who published the israel/paletine book, may i ask?
10:33 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i think i found it. deb reich?
10:33 pm
uusue2
it's basically self-published but you can get it on Amazon and Kindle
10:33 pm
uusue2
Yes, that's her!
10:34 pm
uusue2
http://www.nomoreenemies.net/
10:34 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
cool
10:36 pm
uusue2
says it's published by Joshua Joshua and Reich - the two Joshuas are her kids, Amos and Maya :-)
10:36 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
my former, former boss was Palestinian, and my former boss was a Zionist Jew. some ups and downs
10:37 pm
uusue2
Deb has lived in Israel for over 40 years, but has been involved in peace activities all that time - speaks Hebrew and Arabic, has lived in Palestinian towns and has Palestinian friends - not an easy thing to do over there
10:42 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
10 to go and i'm yawning ...
10:43 pm
Minveryork
Has anybody here signed a pettition on FaceBook for Matthew Weatherspoon to be prosecuted to the fullest extent for stabbing his dog 5 times in the face
10:43 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
holy cow, haven't heard about that one. nasty!!!
10:45 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
just found it on FB. still nasty!!
10:49 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
so, did you sign? (i am not going to sign until i know more about the case)
10:51 pm
Minveryork
The man stabbed his dog because it nipped him. Then he threw the dog out into the street where someone found it and brought it to safety. I signed it. Animal cruelty is totally wrong no matter what the case is.
10:52 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
do we know anything about the man? i mean, does he have an IQ of 60 or anything like that?
10:53 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
oh, and FIREWORKS!
10:54 pm
Minveryork
Congratulations Book Doctor Gwen on fireworks!YAY
10:55 pm
Minveryork
The following is a link to the article in the Huffington Post about the incident:

_n_886626.html
10:55 pm
Minveryork
From what he said in an interview, it does not sound like his IQ is 60. He claims that his dog attacked him.
10:57 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
please do not think i don't care about animal cruelty. i just cautious about conclusions getting jumped to
10:59 pm
Minveryork
Yes, I do understand your point and Bulldogs do have a tendency to be cruel themselves. We'll have to see what the outcome will be. Guess nobody really knows what happened except for Matthew Weatherspoon.
11:04 pm
Minveryork
I wanted to stay up for the flip tonight, but my brain is begging me to go to sleep. Goodnight to all babblers
11:05 pm
