VolleymomDee

hi mrp! How are you holding up

12:22 am

MLFAN17

mrp does it go with either of the 7s?

12:22 am

negativeneil

Yeah, it happens more when I'm using a laptop keyboard. I should plug in my regular keyboard.

12:22 am

MLFAN17

hi nonnie

12:22 am

jillibus

accent-uate the positive, elim-i-nate the negative, don't mess with mister in-between. You'd be too young to remember that.

12:22 am

negativeneil

hi mrp! How goes it -- and did you get my email?

12:22 am

mrpresident

yes, the second sc7,40... past tense

12:23 am

VolleymomDee

not sure why they altered the spacing of the keys

12:23 am

NonnieLight

hello mlf

12:23 am

negativeneil

I've heard it though, jilli. I don't live under a rock and I have parents... and even grandparents.

my newish laptop has biligual (eng/fr) keys and it's a pain.

12:24 am

mrpresident

I have two sc7's and the second one goes onto the 9

12:24 am

jillibus

or, I should say, neutral keys, so no "Shift" etc.

12:24 am

negativeneil

It's redundant now anyway mrp. I just hadn't read all of your bio yet when I asked the question. Silly me.

12:25 am

negativeneil

I wonder about the second question though?

12:25 am

dcseain

i have 5 sc7s so far

12:25 am

MLFAN17

12:25 am

12:26 am

MLFAN17

12:26 am

jillibus

I can't see ANY sc words.

12:26 am

MLFAN17

12:26 am

negativeneil

ugh. Afterwards, Seain... I'm furiously finding and typing in words!

12:26 am

dcseain

and the u

12:26 am

VolleymomDee

need to keep looking... don't have the right sc 7 yet... have the tricky plan past tense and sneaking about... hmmmm

12:27 am

jillibus

well, just got the misspelt sc 5/22 -- didn't believe it

12:27 am

negativeneil

Oh you mean... yeah, I have that.

12:27 am

VolleymomDee

12:27 am

MLFAN17

dee i hav ethe two that go together

12:27 am

negativeneil

Found the other obvious one too. ;)

12:28 am

dcseain

12:28 am

jillibus

12:28 am

VolleymomDee

hi dc! Did you fare well through the storm?

12:28 am

negativeneil

Yes, exactly.

12:28 am

dcseain

absolute non-event where i live, dee, so yes :)

12:29 am

VolleymomDee

fantastic

12:30 am

jillibus

oh, good, dc. So my Rockvill cousins should be ok too? No power outage?

12:30 am

jillibus

*Rockville

12:30 am

MLFAN17

dc did you win your game/

12:31 am

dcseain

LOTS of power outages in Maryland -- they got more wind and downed trees and many, many above ground power lines.

12:31 am

dcseain

MLF, i lost one on tie-breaker.

12:31 am

jillibus

Oh dear.

12:32 am

MLFAN17

bummer dc what were you playing?

12:32 am

negativeneil

I just found the place we go with family for the high holidays, Seain... never seen it spelled with a "c" before though?

12:32 am

dcseain

here in Virginia, the majority of our lines are underground. Maryland has not spent the money to do that, so every thunderstorm or tropical storm, Maryland usually has as many or more dark as Virginia and North Carolina combined.

12:33 am

dcseain

it's usually with a C around here, but i've seen without also.

12:33 am

jillibus

short-sighted MD :-(

12:33 am

negativeneil

Oh yeah?

12:33 am

dcseain

Trying to remember the name of the game, Jilli. It was a train game, building tracks and moving goods.

12:34 am

mrpresident

it is a schmuk of a word!

12:34 am

dcseain

with C direct from German/Yiddish, without is anglicised or from Russian/Latvian

12:34 am

negativeneil

Haha!

12:34 am

negativeneil

Yes, but we never spelled it with one in our family. Don't know why... just the way it is I guess.

12:36 am

jillibus

I don't think I know that word

12:36 am

dcseain

school in german, jilli

12:36 am

jillibus

ty dc, gotcha

12:37 am

negativeneil

I was guessing it would be from German... but our family surname is Ashkenazi and from around that area of Europe. So it's weird that we never spelled it with a "c". I guess because other people our family knew didn't, maybe.

12:38 am

cybernan

crashing -- good night *poof*

12:38 am

jillibus

gnight nan

12:39 am

dcseain

schtetl,schtetel, shtetl,shtetel, shtetel all valid. there is much variation.

12:39 am

negativeneil

Good night nan.

12:39 am

dcseain

g'night nan

12:39 am

negativeneil

Of course, Seain... and no correct English spelling of transliterated Yiddish anyway.

12:40 am

dcseain

there seems to be regional conventions. At least from here to Boston, the spelling is pretty consistent.

12:44 am

negativeneil

Phew! Finally found an re word that was driving me crazy!

12:47 am

flosey

negativeneil

No, Jill. The links I sent before didn't work for ruru, probably because he's using IE as his browser. It won't play them full browser window size, like Firefox and Chrome etc. will... so I've sent the regular links this time. Check your emali and fwd on to him please? Thanks. :)

hello dose

9:31 am

rubyfoo

my husband was making speeches about how Irene was a non-event; he's the expert, having grown up in Florida! I had to leave the room

9:32 am

rubyfoo

I felt like smacking him!

9:32 am

Riverdance

tell him to come over and see all the non-eventful damage

9:32 am

rubyfoo

it's so nice to come here and not get to hear that!

9:32 am

rubyfoo

how bad was it, river?

9:32 am

doseffing

... everything was always tougher in our youth ... and what I had to put up with was always more onerous than what you're stuck with today ...

9:33 am

rubyfoo

exactly, dose

9:33 am

rubyfoo

THOSE were the hurricanes!

9:33 am

Riverdance

not bad where I am but up north it is a mess. rivers overflowed, dam let go, the flooding northern NH and Vt was bad

9:33 am

doseffing

... in one sense it was ... the buildings in New York didn't come down and the subway didn't flood

9:33 am

rubyfoo

I said that a woman was drowned in her car after calling the police who couldn't get there in time and he said she was full of sh**

9:34 am

redturtlehead

Well Ruby, it was a Non-event IN Florida, totally missed us, but wow, I've seen some photos from a friend of mine in Long Island...

9:34 am

rubyfoo

he's going off the rails, I fear

9:34 am

... north of that into Quebec it's pretty bad too ... ... major power outage ... 100,000

9:37 am

Riverdance

I think we had 8-13 inches depending on where you were in the state

9:37 am

rubyfoo

that is huge!

9:37 am

jmcnrick

to be fair, i grew up in texas and sat through several category 5 hurricanes and a tropical storm is really not as bad--but the dam breaking is worse

9:38 am

carleekat

( and am I the only fool who thinks Irene is what is going to jump start the US economy...housing starts, tradepeople who had nothing to do will be subcontracted by ins cmpanies...retail for all the building and finishing materials...furniture destroyed by water and sewage... road repair and bridge repair...all the hotels and motels for temp shelter...

9:38 am

rubyfoo

he is just being a jerk!

9:38 am

Riverdance

there is a campground up north that is totally under water...can barely see the roofs of the campers

9:38 am

rubyfoo

smart carlee!!!

9:39 am

9:39 am

carleekat

( the news keeps saying how it is goign to devestate the economy... but....all these people need a place to stay...

9:39 am

Riverdance

unfortunately flood damage is not covered under a basic homeowners policy...those folks that dont have flood insurance will have to apply for assistance with the government

9:39 am

rubyfoo

I didn't know that

9:39 am

jmcnrick

only about 7 inches of rain on sunday

9:39 am

rubyfoo

about the insurance

9:39 am

Riverdance

and most of those folks dont have any money

9:40 am

rubyfoo

even 7 in is a lot of rain. We had a nasty little storm last week that took out many computers and TV's

9:40 am

jmcnrick

well flood damage is different from wind and rain damage

9:40 am

rubyfoo

30 minutes of storm and Annecy made the national news

9:41 am

jmcnrick

7 inches in a day is a good bit of rain--but no i have no need of your dh

9:41 am

carleekat

river...some lawyer somewhere will find an angle someplace and get a group of them together to sue the govt or noaa or the individual dams owners ( state authorities i presume ) for tonnes of money

9:41 am

rubyfoo

we live on a (minor) fault line and I don't know if it's covered in our homeowners insurance

9:41 am

jmcnrick

i think my insurance will pay for my damage if i can ever get a hold of them

9:41 am

rubyfoo

:(

9:41 am

Riverdance

earthquake is not usually covered either...need an earthquate endorsement

9:42 am

Riverdance

yes yours should be covered jmc

9:42 am

carleekat

i thin kLMC..they are a bit busy atm

9:42 am

EvaNadine

not likely, carlee. there are people still homeless + suffering in New Orleans and that was a few years ago.

9:42 am

mixi6

earthquake and hurricane insurance have huge deductibles.

9:42 am

carleekat

JMC* even... <---thinks sh eis getting sick... too much going on...and its either allergy or a cold or strep....

9:43 am

jmcnrick

part of the problem with new orleans is that the local government used it for ethnic cleansing

9:43 am

rubyfoo

this is such an old fault line that I don't think they've ever had anything bigger than a 3 -- toppled some chimneys is all

9:43 am

carleekat

yes...well we also know that those are " not important " people

It would be a fascinating course.

11:47 am

12:02 pm

jmcnrick

if i were to take a lit course i think children's lit would be my choice

12:02 pm

carleekat

well..my problem is i have 2 separate goals... I want to challenge and grow myself as a person..to taste what is "out there" and challenge myself to new ideas vs...being practicle and focussing on what i want to do in life...

12:04 pm

jmcnrick

ah but school is the time to taste what is out there--this isn't a voc-ed school and you have your basic requirements

12:04 pm

jmcnrick

take whatever catches your fancy

12:04 pm

carleekat

cdn lit is my challenge...childrens it is my do in life

12:04 pm

jmcnrick

my boy took auto mechanics, criminal psych and ended up with a business degree

12:05 pm

Jellen

Yes, you should go with your instincts...

12:05 pm

jmcnrick

well if your fancy is to be challenged. . . .

12:06 pm

Dispatch

Samantha...yes, there are two sc 7/40s.

4:27 pm

Dispatch

oh my! I am not a new yorker nor do I eat bagels! lol

4:27 pm

MollyL

JBV, I bet that maple tree is gorgeous.

4:27 pm

SamanthaJoy

And the sc 7/9 builds off the clue Molly just gave. Sorry, my typing is slow today.

4:27 pm

SamanthaJoy

It's a Yiddish word, if that helps.

4:29 pm

SamanthaJoy

*ahem* The second sc 7/40 is an anagram of the first one. Is that more helpful?

4:30 pm

Dispatch

ah...maybe

4:31 pm

SamanthaJoy

Switch the fourth and fifth letters.

4:31 pm

Dispatch

got them! thanks!

4:31 pm

Dispatch

now I get the New Yorker clue!

4:32 pm

SamanthaJoy

If you're not from the right part of the country, it's a hard word to get. Glad to help.

4:33 pm

Anniebrook

now past tense for the sc 9

4:34 pm

Dispatch

last word: me5/14

4:34 pm

SamanthaJoy

As someone so eloquently said earlier, French poop

4:34 pm

MollyL

Always nice to end the grid on a swear word.

4:35 pm

BzznBea

re6/27?

4:35 pm

SamanthaJoy

. . . That was literally my first word. I take it we're very different people, you and I. :)

4:35 pm

SamanthaJoy

We just effected re6 change in Libya?

4:37 pm

Dispatch

nice way to end indeed! And it was that kind of word for me as I do not speak french!

4:37 pm

Anniebrook

I am going to start dinner, bye dear babblers

4:37 pm

Dispatch

Thank you who helped with these last three!!!

4:37 pm

Me too... usually by Babble.

5:06 pm

Bugsaw

hi neil

5:06 pm

Bugsaw

you are one of the speedier people I think

5:06 pm

negativeneil

I'm a word nerd.

5:07 pm

Bugsaw

do you have a better clue for the sc 7/40 words then? I heard it was a yiddish word for cream cheese on a bagel when in New York. I would do better with Greek

5:09 pm

negativeneil

Well being Jewish I'm very familiar with the term, yes. To spread something on something... it sounds similar to the English word but of course, it's Yiddish sounding. That should be a clue for what consonant follows the "sc", before the double vowel?

5:09 pm

mrpresident

yiddish of spread butter?

5:09 pm

Bugsaw

got it now! thanks Neil

5:09 pm

negativeneil

If you mean the "sc7,40" that is followed by the past tense "sc9,78"?

5:10 pm

negativeneil

Oh good, Bugsaw!

5:10 pm

Bugsaw

have them all now

5:11 pm

negativeneil

How many words left?

5:11 pm

Bugsaw

I have 22 so I will keep plodding on as I try to hang new curtain rods. When I get too frustrated, I come back here for therapy!

5:12 pm

Ok, holler if you need any clues... I may be here at the time. I'm working on an article so I'm on here for a while, anyway.

5:29 pm

I remember to forget them, when necessary. ;)

6:24 pm

Mom

like around your parents

6:24 pm

Mom

or the children

6:24 pm

negativeneil

Nah. Are you kidding me? You should hear my dad sometimes, haha!

6:24 pm

negativeneil

Around children, yes.

6:25 pm

Mom

that is different Neil, my dad would say "Don't do as I do, do as I say"

6:25 pm

kje

sc5/16?

6:25 pm

negativeneil

Oh mine doesn't care. My parents aren't anal, thank goodness. But they were careful of that when we were children, of course.

6:25 pm

negativeneil

Nobody wants their young children speaking like that in front of other people!

6:26 pm

Mom

oh sure, you have to be. I am still careful around mine. Although ..... I do slip

6:26 pm

negativeneil

Once we were old enough to know better and know when and where not to say those things, they weren't so concerned.

6:31 pm

negativeneil

I generally avoid those kinds of magazines.

6:32 pm

Mom

I would just put them in a capsule where they would be 5 forever

6:32 pm

negativeneil

In case I see something in them that might make me want to inflict harm.

6:32 pm

mrpresident

thanks Molly. Your clues are ingenious,by tje way

7:30 pm

uusue2

You know how dictionary publishers will sometimes include a few mistakes so they can tell if someone is plagiarizing their work? I think that's where the sc5/22 and sc7/56 pair come from.

7:30 pm

crosshair

my mrs has a degenerative eye disease also inge and i share your pain and wish you every success in this fight

7:31 pm

crosshair

we are holding at 20/400! and medical advances happen every day

7:32 pm

uusue2

I agree with molly and crossy, inge - wish you the best - my neighbor has macular degeneration and can hardly see. My dad has it too but one of his eyes is much worse than the other, so he can still read and even drive.

negativeneil

I'll be ok. Or... not.

8:15 pm

EvaNadine

sue, half the reason i even WENT to my class tonight was because i had a slight gain last week (and i skipped a class last week).
i still feel a little discouraged, but obviously the classes are doing SOMETHING, so i need to keep going!

8:15 pm

regis

thank you for the two words the me will not enter yet says i have it on the list should be fireworks

8:16 pm

negativeneil

Are you spelling it right, regis?

8:16 pm

negativeneil

Are you talking about the me5,14?

8:16 pm

EvaNadine

i must say, to anyone who hasnt tried WW or Skinny Cow ice creams, they are amazinly tasty, and much "healthier" !

8:16 pm

uusue2

eva, you are doing so well! keep it up and I'm sure you will be fine.

8:17 pm

uusue2

8:17 pm

negativeneil

Wow. That's weird... and annoying.

8:18 pm

dan2bit

evening all

8:18 pm

EvaNadine

thanks sue. sometimes juggling the meal planning, shopping, cooking, and exercising gets to be a bit much.
and add that on top of the rest of, well, LIFE, and sometimes it is just TOO much. hence the slight gain last week. hope i do better this week -- im aiming to hit my 15 pound mark!

8:18 pm

uusue2

hi, dan!

8:19 pm

8:23 pm

crosshair

a healthy weight is a good thing,but agonizing over every ounce and every food coice is noty good.in 90 years or less we are all food for the worms.i will not spend most of it panicking over everything ieat

8:24 pm

uusue2

fireworks! last word was the last word :-)

8:24 pm

crosshair

but then again i have a full physical set up for next month and i imagine he will try to cut me off of everythign but tofu and bean sprouts

8:24 pm

EvaNadine

oh, i know, crossy. but i am in the "obese" category, and the scale has only been moving upwards. i have been lazy both with what i eat as well as with my body. this is just helping me be accountable.

8:24 pm

dan2bit

can I have the stats for the lone E?

8:25 pm

uusue2

eg4/6

8:25 pm

EvaNadine

my "healthy" weight range is about 50 pounds LESS than where im at right now.

8:25 pm

dan2bit

ty uu duh

8:26 pm

uusue2

and I am in the same situation as eva, so it's not ounces that I'm worried about but many pounds (about 50 for me too to be in the healthy - not overweight - range)

8:26 pm

crosshair

as is mine eva,as is mine

8:26 pm

uusue2

and I am short so 50 pounds is a pretty big fraction of my weight

8:27 pm

EvaNadine

since this is my first time really truly having a go at it, i will be happy with ounces, so long as they are ounces in the right direction. ;)

8:28 pm

crosshair

ladies,you are right of course,i am just in denial atm,but i am sure the physical,and the stress test will set me right as well as the lipid test

8:29 pm

uusue2

and I'm sure Mrs. Crossy will give you lots of encouragement :-)

8:29 pm

crosshair

that she will,she is the staff that i lean on

8:30 pm

EvaNadine

honestly, i have been somewhat depressed for a while now about the weight i have put on. i was never heavy growing up -- quite the contrary, i was quite thin and very fit, having grown up a dancer.
and in the next few years, im going to be thinking about having babies, and id like to be as fit and healthy going into that as possible.

8:31 pm

crosshair

lol eva,we are the opposite,our babies are ready to leave the nest and we wish to be halthy for each other to do all the things we have but dreamed of

8:31 pm

uusue2

well, I was never exactly thin, but I was pretty fit (used to run 7 miles a day when I was in my 30s) but got pregnant when I was 38 and never did lose all the weight - have cycled up and down since then

8:33 pm

EvaNadine

when i was younger, i was a dancer who looked like a dancer.
now im a used-to-be dancer who looks like a never-was dancer.

8:34 pm

crosshair

i do not wish to be paralysed by excess weight and arthritis at 60

8:35 pm

EvaNadine

well crossy, maybe you should join our babblers weight loss FB group. :)

8:37 pm

uusue2

well, I am 60, crossy, and not exactly paralyzed, but would like to be thinner

8:37 pm

crosshair

perhaps i should,but the physical is next month and i shall shee how badly i am off first

8:38 pm

mrpresident

8:38 pm

EvaNadine

em5,12 can be spelled with one vowel instead of the double vowel that follows, before the ending consonant. I don't like spell-out-the-word clues. That's a tough one to clue, but it means an Arab/Islamic ruler.

9:37 pm

jesdraggon

i prefer definition clues, usually. thanks

Evening, specificity.

im4,6 you'll probably want to monkey. A child acting like a monkey plus a vowel?

9:40 pm

mkg

nanny who????????????

9:40 pm

negativeneil

im5,14 is the plural of that.

9:41 pm

mkg

just home from israeli dancing. fun fun fun

9:42 pm

negativeneil

Israeli dancing? Are you also Jewish, mkg?

9:43 pm

negativeneil

Nanny Mc****, mkg -- 2005 fantasy film. Emma Thompson, Colin Firth?

9:44 pm

mkg

dont know it. yes very jewish. religious. a bubby.

9:44 pm

negativeneil

Sorry, Jess... then the im4,6 is the plural of children who act like little monkeys.

9:44 pm

negativeneil

A bubbe? :)

9:44 pm

negativeneil

I'm Jewish too.

9:44 pm

mkg

bubby means grandmother in yiddish.

9:45 pm

negativeneil

As if you can't tell. I'm always told I look like a Sabra.

9:45 pm

negativeneil

sabra, don't know why I capitalized that.

9:45 pm

negativeneil

I know very well what it means.

9:45 pm

is the photo you neil?

9:45 pm

negativeneil

I'm Jewish, remember?

9:45 pm

jesdraggon

it's alright neil. you don't need to clue them all... i haven't even gone to the list yet. and as a general rule, i don't ask for clues for 4 letter words.

9:45 pm

negativeneil

Yes, mkg.

9:46 pm

negativeneil

As are those in my Flickr... the ones you can see. A lot of them are private, that's why there are jumps in the numbering... but there are several public ones.

9:46 pm

mkg

you look jewish but could also be italian, greek, turkish, etc. gee somehow i think i saw something you wrote which meant you were probably jewish. the photo is one of my israeli grandkids. from years ago.

9:46 pm

negativeneil

Ok, jes. Just trying to be helpful as so many are here.

9:46 pm

negativeneil

Well true, mkg. If you knew our family name you'd know. ;)

9:47 pm

anyone have the two k words? kefir is not in grid. and i am stumped.

jesdraggon

love the quote in your profile, neil

9:47 pm

negativeneil

Very cute, mkg!

9:48 pm

mkg

my first and last names are totally jewish. my daughters were so happy that they married guys whose names dont sound jewish having grown up where everyone knew they were jewish. i grew up with a not jewish name and was so proud to have a jewish name. go figure.

9:48 pm

What, "Irene is punishment for Gay Marriage in NY."? That gave me a good headshake -- accounting for my comments [questions] which follow.

Hello all. Hi Neil!

9:48 pm

negativeneil

My middle and last names are, mkg.

9:48 pm

who said that about irene? how bizarre.

9:48 pm

negativeneil

Hi, m9!

9:48 pm

jesdraggon

the bit about omnipotence not coming with a good sense of timing.

9:48 pm

mkg

is middle name a surname from your mother or somethibng?

9:48 pm

negativeneil

Some Twitter moron. There are many of them.

9:48 pm

mkg

i dont do twitter. who has time.

9:49 pm

negativeneil

No, my brother who is the firstborn of the two of us, has Mom's maiden surname as his middle name. My middle name is a Jewish first name.

9:49 pm

jesdraggon

oh, only about a half dozen rabid uberconservative christian wackos, mkg. The same ones that pop up and blame every other disaster on gays.

9:49 pm

negativeneil

Well I do, because some of us use it for various reasons.

9:49 pm

mkg

by the way, i think almost a quarter of those who come to israeli dance arent jewish. very interesting. many are jews for jesus or messianic jews.

9:50 pm

negativeneil

Exactly, jesdraggon. They're in plentiful supply unfortunately.

9:50 pm

mkg

i also named 4 of my kids with middle names that were surnames.

9:50 pm

jesdraggon

the ones that are so dedicated to making the rest of the world disgusted and hateful towards all of christianity.

9:50 pm

negativeneil

And my brother is gay, so you can imagine how unimpressed I am with that homophobic crap.

9:51 pm

mkg

so many gay jews. amazing. sad for our birth rate but otherwise fine by me.

9:51 pm

mkg

any clues out there? for the k words?

9:51 pm

m9f9l

I'm Klueless

9:52 pm

jesdraggon

don't be too sad for your birthrate, mkg. been a couple studies that showed gay teenage boys are MORE likely to get a girl preggers than straight boys.

9:52 pm

jesdraggon

gotta prove they're not gay, you know.

9:52 pm

mkg

good one m9

9:52 pm

9:52 pm

wow jes that is amazing. how do they manage to get turned on if they are turned off by women? i dont get it but then why would i.

9:53 pm

mkg

how about clues for the h words for bottom left corner h?????????????????????????????????

9:53 pm

m9f9l

that sounds like a mythical statistic to me.

9:53 pm

jesdraggon

by closing their eyes and thinking about a guy? I dunno. I've never bothered to have sex just to prove i was something i wasn't. but it's apparently pretty common.

9:53 pm

ty. got both k words

Thanks for that, jes. [shakes head]

*curtsey* Enjoy that mental image, completely gratis!

9:54 pm

Gee, mkg. Lots of gay guys I've met have had girlfriends in the past, in their teens and even twenties.

9:54 pm

negativeneil

Life isn't so black and white, you know.

9:55 pm

negativeneil

And I should say, people aren't.

9:55 pm

jesdraggon

few things are starkly black and white.

9:55 pm

jesdraggon

but there is a lot of pressure on kids to prove that they are "normal"

9:55 pm

jesdraggon

and a lot of kids are quite susceptible to pressure.

9:55 pm

mkg

nothing is starkly black and white. i guess i just dont get it because i cant imagine it.

9:56 pm

jesdraggon

for that matter, so are a lot of adults.

9:56 pm

mkg

i agree jes.

9:56 pm

negativeneil

I think our birth rate is doing just fine. And someone being gay or not doesn't need to meet your approval. Being gay isn't a choice anyone makes. It just is. My brother decideded to be gay the day you decided to be straight. It's his natural sexual orientation and he can't do anyting about that.

9:57 pm

negativeneil

Yes Jes, very few things in life ever are.

9:58 pm

jesdraggon

I know, neil. I don't disapprove and didn't intend it to sound that I did. I'm quite a bit off the center line of "heteronormative cis-gender" myself.

9:58 pm

negativeneil

No, jes. I didn't think that at all.

9:58 pm

jesdraggon

tangentially, thank you for standing up for your brother and not disowning him. :)

9:59 pm

negativeneil

Why would I disown him for that? It would be like disowning him for having blue eyes.

9:59 pm

negativeneil

He can't help that any more than he can help what color eyes he was born with.

9:59 pm

mkg

i agree it is not a choice. it is not easy either. i am sure this is inborn. totally sure. that is why i get upset by those who look down on gays or feel they "chose" it. i agree it is inborn. i was attracked to me when i was a small girl. i remember things like that. no one told me anything, it was just there. so you are right it is just nature neil.

9:59 pm

jesdraggon

dunno. but there are a lot of families out there that do.

9:59 pm

mkg

oh doesnt anyone have any h clues for that bottom corner h???????????????

10:00 pm

negativeneil

Well not in our family. I have intelligent, well-educated parents who have good common sense, so of course it was no issue to them either.

10:01 pm

negativeneil

Maybe we do, but we were kind of busy there, weren't we? Looking.

10:01 pm

jesdraggon

don't have them, mkg

I know, Jes. :(

10:03 pm

mkg

herin that is horrible. how could parents be so horrible??????????

10:04 pm

negativeneil

It happens, sadly. Even to someone my brother and a couple of his friends knew... the kid was totally disowned by his parents and they were very cruel about it too.

10:04 pm

herinfernallady

His father. But I lay no blame with him as it is how he was brought up. Like my father. No problem with ''them'' but lord forbid if I was a flaming lesbian

10:05 pm

jesdraggon

f's finished

10:05 pm

mkg

m9 ty. got the ho words from that phrase. ty neil too for clues.

10:05 pm

negativeneil

Well I do. Because no matter how you are brought up, you have a mind of your own and hopefully don't choose to live life with your head in the sand, blindly believeing whatever you're told to believe. Think for youself and use common sense.

10:05 pm

m9f9l

When I was in a highschool a lesbian friend came to live with our family. Her Dad was saying he wanted her to change her last name.. and her mom sent "get well" cards...!?!?!?

The problem is, a lot of people just don't THINK.

gay men suffer more than lesbians i think. especially effiminate men. i feel so sorry for them. it is a hard life. i have a relative who went to s hock therapy for years trying to "change". how terrible. he never told us this. it was terrible.

10:06 pm

herinfernallady

If I blamed his father I think I would implode

10:06 pm

jesdraggon

the father deserves blame for the way he treated his kid. He's an adult, he can get over how he was raised.

10:07 pm

jesdraggon

i'd probably have EXploded, in the direction of the father, lady

10:07 pm

negativeneil

I would explode... all over him. I'm rather intolerant of intolerance!

10:07 pm

jesdraggon

but then, i've never been particularly subtle or shy ;)

10:07 pm

mkg

at some pooint a person has to say that regardless of their upbringing they will do what they want to do. but then it is easy for me to say since my parents were fabulous loving giving people.

My darling best friend just got disowned by her family. I was holding her because she was not invited to a family bbq because of her ''life style''. I was so saddened because she is with a caring woman who I have been friends with for 8 or so years. I was so angry and if I didn't have some respect for my elders I would have rung up her parents and told them at least she is with someone that cares and isn't bed hopping and being drunk like the atypical 19 year old

10:09 pm

negativeneil

Haha! I can tell.

10:09 pm

Jess I am angry and annoyed that my idiot government are on a witch hunt with Pitt Bull / X dogs

High-fives to you all the way, jes. For everything you're saying here. You're saving me the trouble.

10:12 pm

Or maybe IDK using DNA or banning puppy farms or booting people in the arse properly over animal cruelty

10:12 pm

but since gov'ment is a bugger to change, and you ahve your friend's folks' number, give 'em a ring and tell them they're being dopes.

10:14 pm

herinfernallady

I just gave her tea and chocolate and a stiff drink till her partner turned up. Might we add that they are listed as a civil union couple with the pension office :D

10:15 pm

jesdraggon

at least that's an option there, lady. lot of places here won't even honor domestic partnership.

10:16 pm
