Oh, that wasn't a word clue?
12:44 am
Griffums
wow, you just took me back...to the night my three big brothers told their tiny little sister to pick up that dead bat in the yard, and it wasn't. Not that I was scarred or anything from that incident which occurred in late August, in the evening, 43 years ago.

You actually have a bat in your bedroom?

Empty plastic tub/container and some cardboard... put the container over the bat, slide the cardboard under, hold that together and take it outside... done that before.

12:52 am
mrpresident
it is something to do with membrane lining... anatomy
12:52 am
negativeneil
pe11 is an infection of the pe9.

12:52 am
mrpresident

12:52 am

Infection/irritation?
12:52 am

Inflammation? All three, I think.
12:52 am
GroovyKiwi

1:04 am
uusue2
ok, finally found the 9 that the 11 is an infection of - didn't realize it was plural
1:05 am
negativeneil
yes, that's the plural form.
1:06 am
negativeneil
The singular ends in 'ium'.
1:06 am
dizgrannie
sue, there is a 10 in the middle of them
1:06 am
negativeneil
The 10 means pertaining to the 9.
1:06 am
uusue2
oh, with the same root? would make sense, I suppose..
1:06 am
negativeneil
Pertaining or of it.
1:06 am
negativeneil
Yes.
1:06 am
uusue2
ok, thx, got it

1:07 am

Hey, my last name is in the grid again!
1:07 am
uusue2
not bad for being half asleep, did I mention that I took a sleeping pill and was nicely out when the bat showed up?
1:08 am
negativeneil
Oh no, Sue.. what woke you up?
1:08 am
Griffums
I'm guessing it was the bat.
1:08 am
flosey
axactly half way, now off to bed
1:08 am
negativeneil
Yes, Jellen. I'm pretty sure mine will never be. My first name shows up a lot, though.
1:08 am
negativeneil
Oh, ok. They're usually not very noisy though.
1:08 am
GroovyKiwi
my first name is in the grid :)
1:08 am
uusue2
actually Frank woke me up and told me the bat was there
1:09 am
negativeneil
Oh, ok.
1:09 am
Griffums
They are when they're flapping all over the place.
1:09 am

Mine often is, Kiwi.
1:09 am
negativeneil
Or Groovy... or GK?
1:09 am
uusue2
I think it's like the monkeys and Shakespeare, neil, eventually everything shows up in the grid
1:09 am
Jellen
Lol, Groovy!
1:09 am
GroovyKiwi
not very often you see a j in the grid lol
1:09 am
jillibus
thanks for the pe 9 & 10 explanations, neil. Now I just need a 7 and 8, lol!
1:09 am
negativeneil
I've had them in my place a couple of times... it doesn't make that much noise that it would awaken me.
1:09 am
jillibus
too often, kiwi!
1:10 am
negativeneil
Which 7 & 8, jilli?
1:10 am
Jellen
ti 7/36 is a nice one, jilli...
1:10 am
uusue2
no, they are pretty quiet
1:10 am
GroovyKiwi
well you hardly ever see Groovy in the grid but shes allways here in spirit mostly lol
1:10 am
negativeneil
In the grid or in the chog?
1:11 am
jillibus
jellen, I'm blind to long words
1:11 am
negativeneil
ti7,36 is a type of bird, plural, jilli.
1:11 am
Jellen
It's a compound
1:11 am
negativeneil
Ok, it's like a compound word... try a 3-letter bird with a 4-letter rodent, plural?
1:11 am
Jellen
At least it looks like one...
1:11 am
jillibus
I saw that before, thanks, neil, but brain isn't working
1:12 am
negativeneil
They are very cute little birds, too.
1:12 am
negativeneil
Laura just had one in her shed recently and posted a photo of it.
1:12 am
GroovyKiwi
i always thought it was the singluar rodent not the plural lol
1:12 am
jillibus
oh, I see -- all I could think of was the singular and there's no U here.
1:12 am
negativeneil
Not when the bird is plural.
1:12 am
negativeneil
That word means more than one of them.
1:12 am
negativeneil
I told you plural, jilli.
1:12 am
uusue2
ok, I guess we are assuming the bat has left
1:13 am
negativeneil
I know... it's late.
1:13 am

Oh good, Sue. Hope so!

[for not being on FB with its lack of privacy]
2:12 am
GroovyKiwi
i find it very private have all my setting set so only get friends seing what im doing and not having a public profile
2:13 am
westford
it just seems too big
2:13 am
negativeneil
Well no, Kiwi. No matter how privately you think you've set it, it isn't. Google "view private facebook profiles" and you'll learn there are countless web pages with scripts enabling any member of the public to view the full contents of any "private" FB page.
2:14 am
negativeneil
That's what made me empty my FB page completely and not use it. I only ever joined there to connect and keep in touch with my college alumni anyway, otherwise I wouldn't have joined... they are still connected with my dead, empty page. I'm gradually getting them all moved over to Google+.
2:14 am
GroovyKiwi
i must be doing relatively ok then because ive never been hacked ive never been bombarded by ppl or things i dont know and i dont accept friendships from ppl i dont know
2:14 am
GroovyKiwi
ive started exploring google+ but havent got to grips with it yet
2:15 am
negativeneil
Well sure, you wouldn't have the privacy concerns that I and members of my family do, probably.
2:15 am
negativeneil
But I cannot take that risk... I need to be sure any network I use has real privacy, before I share anything in my page with my family and friends.
2:15 am

kiwi are there lots of ads now? seems every company is saying ..
2:15 am

Neil, what is google+? I've seen you mention it a few times these past few days.
2:16 am

Oh, are you on G+, Kiwi? I can show you the ropes on there if you like.
2:16 am
negativeneil
It's a new social network on Google, which is still by invitation only.

My family and friends are all connecting on there.
2:16 am

I have decided not to go with the whole 'hate the muslims' thing. I am sad for the people who lost their lives and all those that miss them. And I am sad there isn't world peace. My prayer is that all will hold peace in their hearts.

well, the dog woke Frank, who figured out that the dog was going nuts because there was a bat flying around. So he got me up, and I came out to my computer room and babbled for a while (what else to do when there's a bat?). Then Frank said that the bat was gone, so I went back in; a few minutes later the bat went out again. More babbling. Finally Frank shooed it out the window, and I went back to bed, fully awake. So I was reading a book, trying to get sleepy again, and the cat bit my wrist (have I mentioned that my cat is psychotic?). So that was my night.
7:31 am

Haha, sometimes. If he's not out very late then no... he does like to sleep in when he can. But he gets up earlier than you'd assume, because he likes to get his workout out of the way. He's been out for a run/jog and then doing weights, while I've been sitting here being lazy... putting me to shame.

have no list, no time...do you mean you don't believe them Molly ?
12:55 pm
Kallia
find, and type....goodness they must be quick
12:55 pm
sadie52
oops sorry
12:55 pm
mkg
once you really do this for years it becomes very fast. the same words appear over and over.
12:55 pm
Kallia
well I haven't found that mkg lol
12:55 pm
Kallia
I must be thick or something
12:56 pm
negativeneil
Especially if you know most of the words from doing other puzzles and playing word games all your life, yes... and have fast typing speed.
12:56 pm
mkg
it used to take me hours and hours to get 50 words. now can do many more. but i dont do 250 in 30 minutes. also depends on grid. i did one grid myself, no list, in an hour and it was about 165 words. i was very proud.
12:56 pm
JBV
and if you use the list and MoreWords :)
12:56 pm
negativeneil
It's got more to do with what I just said than intelligence, Kallia... I'm sure you're not "thick".
12:56 pm
sadie52
ive a very fast typing speed just a very slow brain
12:56 pm
Kallia
Well I think I have an above average vocab.....I can usually do half very quickly
12:57 pm
flosey
typing speed comes in handy when monkeying
12:57 pm
Kallia
ah do most use the list
12:57 pm
negativeneil
That would takek longer, JBV... I do use the list on occasion if I'm really stuck. Usually just the tile and word stats. They really help.
12:57 pm
negativeneil
I'd be more lost without those!
12:57 pm
negativeneil
And just when entering words you can see, flosey.
12:57 pm
Kallia
I don't use anything but what we get here
12:57 pm
negativeneil
Ugh. "take" even. Too early for accurate typing.
12:57 pm
JBV
lists help when there are a lot of words and you have a tendency to forget to add plurals, -ing, etc.
12:58 pm
negativeneil
Oh well see? you're better than me then, Kallia. :)
12:58 pm
Kallia
no Neil, I know I'm not thick....was tic
12:58 pm
flosey
I use the list - otherwise would take too much time
12:58 pm
Boobear
Ugh this grid is mean
12:58 pm
mkg
where are the ism words? cant find any!!!!!!!!!!
12:58 pm
negativeneil
They sure do, JBV. I pull the list up if I'm really stuck. It helps immensely to see what you need to find.
12:58 pm
JBV
and more words helps when you just don't have a word that begins with cw in your vocabulary!
12:59 pm
Kallia
well actually I don't care if I finish or not....just like to find the words I can
12:59 pm
Kallia
pick up a few from the chog of course!
1:00 pm
JBV
I remember the very first few days I played - I was so in awe of people who could clue and play at the same time - I could barely follow the chat, it was flying by so fast
1:00 pm
flosey
thanks for the ve
1:00 pm
mkg

1:00 pm
JBV

1:01 pm
Kallia
when I started we had no stats! that happened when Dr God decided to have pro players
1:01 pm
JBV
the stats definitely help too
1:03 pm
Kallia

1:03 pm
JBV

1:03 pm
Kallia

1:04 pm
flosey

1:04 pm
JBV
to 5 - weight (I think it's a British spelling)
1:05 pm
JBV
nope, I see it has a different definition - never knew
1:05 pm
flosey
thanks jbv - never fails - ask for it and then find it!
1:05 pm
JBV
I know, flosey it happens to me too, fascinating

1:06 pm
JBV
ok, see you later, have fun
1:10 pm
negativeneil
Oh really, Kallia? There were no stats at first?
1:11 pm
gremlinn
That would make it like most Boggle-type sites - main difference would be the one grid per day instead of every few minutes, I guess.
1:13 pm
flosey
still 21 to go, think I'll go for a walk, bbs
1:13 pm
negativeneil
Yes, that's true.
1:13 pm
negativeneil
But on most Boggle-type sites you aren't going to find every single word in the grids, either.
1:13 pm
Boobear
Clue for er 9 please
1:13 pm
gremlinn
suffix on the er6
1:14 pm
gremlinn
I have a few times on 5x5 boards, 3 minute time, with few enough words - still kind of rare though
1:14 pm
negativeneil
One who "practices" the er6,21.
1:15 pm
negativeneil
Yes, it's not going to happen often.
1:15 pm
gremlinn
Or writes about it, perhaps?
1:15 pm
negativeneil
Or that too, yeah.
1:18 pm
rururocks
it's a fun one to practice
1:18 pm
negativeneil
Certainly is. ;)

1:44 pm

I think Novak will be worn out a bit from Federer
1:44 pm
Uneaixoise
yeah, but they both have all day today to "rest" . . .
1:44 pm
Uneaixoise

1:53 pm
Uneaixoise

1:53 pm
uusue2
it was about 12:30 am and I was out cold; Frank woke up because the dog and cat were leaping around
1:54 pm
uusue2
then he saw the bat flying around the bedroom
1:54 pm
Uneaixoise
OMG, my dogs would have been hiding under the bed LOL
1:54 pm
Uneaixoise
how did it get in??
1:54 pm
uusue2
opened the windows so it could get out; he thought it had so I came back in - then about 5 minutes later it started flying around again
1:55 pm
Uneaixoise
LOLOL!!!
1:55 pm
uusue2
dunno, une, but it's an old house (about 120 years) so there are plenty of possibilities
1:55 pm
Uneaixoise
what an adventure!!
1:55 pm
uusue2
so I went back out again (and babbled some more), finally he did chase it out the window, and saw it leave
1:56 pm
uusue2
so I came back in and started reading in bed (since at that point it was 2 am and I was wide awake), and then the cat bit me.

2:29 pm
MollyL
But you are not a vocabusnob, which is one of the reasons I'm sure you are a very good teacher.
2:29 pm

Two friends on the golf course. One of them was getting ready to swing, when he sees nearby a group of people attending a funeral. The guy stops in the middle of the swing, pulls off his hat, closes his eyes and lowers his head.
His friend saids:
- Oh, this is the most touching thing I have ever witnessed. You are a truly wonderful man.
The other guy answers:
- Well, we have been married for over 35 years.

When NASA started to send astronauts in the space, they discovered that the regular pens don’t work in space because there’s no gravity. To address this problem, the government spent 12 million dollars and the scientists worked round the clock for 10 years to make a pen that would work in space, where is no gravity, holding it upside down, under water, on any surface - including glass - at any temperature - from freezing all the way to 300 degree C. The Russians used a pencil.

kind of amazing really.i am a better person for having cancer.i know it sounds strange,but cancer strips away the garbage and crap that often drag us down in life.it causes you to toss everything overboard that is small and petty and not important to your health and to focus on healing and family.you come out of the dark when you are healed with a new sense of the wonder and gift of life and everything around you seems a little better,you laugh more,you love more and you do not sweat the small stuff..lol sorry for the ramble,but there is something important there for sharing

and the small beauty that used to pass us by..mrs and i were up in the hills doing our scenic drive,one of those super narrow dirt roads that you almost never see anymore,the kind where the trees are allowed to grow over it in a canopy because there are no power lines overhead.we park the car and in inhale the smell of nature as in places like this,you can actually smell green.i noticed a boulder just in the trees a few feet off the road it had split in 2 and it almost look that a giant axe had parted it,the cut was so clean,and out of the ground beneath it was a small sapling about 8 inches in height.i looked at it for a few minutes and noted it was kind of a symbol in that not matter the weight of life or other problems,that with patience,strength and commitment,much in life can be overcome and we can stand in the sun again

I assume you've had your hormone levels checked, dorens? I put on about 15 pounds all of a sudden a couple years back. turns out it was because my progesterone was in the pits and my estrogen through the roof.
7:15 pm
72 Temple Owl
oh no? you have not seen me in a while. and i think one needs to put on a few when older, i am sagging all over
7:15 pm

started progesterone, lost the 15 pounds, had tons more energy and generally feel way better.
7:16 pm
Dorens
my md has done various tests... don't know about hormones... wonder if that might be it. thanks for the tip
7:17 pm

mine wasn't really sudden,, seems to have been very gradual, but i'll look into it... glad it worked like that for you jes, and I'd be delighted if i could drop 15 pounds, get tons of energy and generally feel way better!!!!
7:17 pm

worth a try if it is that extreme

7:27 pm

I was going to say Dorens, with the wine you drink, you don't qualify for a bumpkin card.

i agree. life is too short for bad music. and i am doomed,cannot even find these words with th list

Dorens, I have no use for shoes either. I do have some pretty, dressy ones, but mostly, I hate wearing them.
7:36 pm
72 Temple Owl
no they are whack, they did not spread at all, and i don't like them out of the oven, i like them out of the freezer
7:36 pm
Dorens
goodness gracious, cookies are always irresistible to me when they've just come from the oven.
7:37 pm
MollyL
TO, did you defrost them before baking?
7:37 pm
72 Temple Owl
i know, but then i froze them and i love them just when they are thawed enough to bite them
7:37 pm
Dorens
shoes either look good or are comfortable... rarely do both.. but when they do i definitely buy them,.. otherwise i prefer comfort over looks at this point in my life (and really always did i think)
7:38 pm
welki
did you get the clue for ce6, owl?
7:38 pm
72 Temple Owl
lol i was reading a fashion blog today where the (young) author stated re shoes that "comfort is overrated, you never get a second chance to make a first impression" ty welk
7:39 pm
Dorens
that is just patently absurd.
7:40 pm
72 Temple Owl
nomolly i had the dough in the fridge and i guess it needed to soften more
7:40 pm

I just found the on7. Seems to fit right in with the er words.
8:00 pm
jmcnrick
well the escalade swore some how his tiny truck pushed the untouched escalade into the kia although the kia said it felt two bumps so he got the ticket
8:00 pm
Minveryork
The or 7/28 is or plus the to 5/10 word 72 Temple Owl
8:01 pm
herinfernallady
So the kia was an idiot. My dads car was written off in a similar way
8:02 pm
jmcnrick
no the kia admitted there were two hits--the escalade guy lied and claim that rather than he hit the kia and boy hit him that the boy rammed him into the kia
8:02 pm
jmcnrick
anyway the truck is totaled
8:02 pm
jmcnrick
its always something
8:02 pm
herinfernallady
That sucks JM is he covered?
8:03 pm
jmcnrick
he has insurance thank heavens
8:03 pm
wht
jmc, there seems to be a path of destruction following you around.
8:03 pm
jmcnrick
and this truck has already been in a collision which is why he got it so cheap so he may as well fix it and move on
8:03 pm
MollyL
So the Kia driver caused the accident by passing improperly and your son got the ticket? What a joke.
8:04 pm
jmcnrick
maybe i should change my screen name to JBtfsplk
8:04 pm
jmcnrick
that is a lil abner reference in case you didn't know
8:05 pm

8:59 pm
carleekat
then next year i will do teachers college
9:00 pm

so many emotions.glad i watched a few of them.it is the duty of the living to to give meaning to the sacrifices of those who died and to never forget,but also life must carry on as we show those who would unleash terror such as that that we will never bow down or give in to fear..but enough of that how is school going carlee?
9:05 pm

9:20 pm

this young girl planned out a way to hurt my daughter in all this. As soon as (on the very day) I found out about the porn on her phone, she got onto maddison's facebook, befriended a boy that maddie was planning to go rockclimbing with (in a group) and seduced him.
9:20 pm
carleekat
anyway...on this note i am off to bed... i may check in in the am before heading off... this drive will likely be the death of me for the next 2 years
9:20 pm

9:21 pm
mrpresident
She convinced the boy that maddie was frigid and wouldn't put out like she could... and they met up... she had never met him!! Maddie had met him several times and got on well with him...
Maddie has learnt a nasty lesson about best friends and boys all in one

jilli, the re word means someone who is quite shy
9:36 pm
jillibus
That would have been great, sue!
9:36 pm
uusue2
or describes such a person, I should say
9:37 pm
mrpresident
re + spell it backward + dollars and ce**s
9:37 pm
uusue2
well, I like the neutron stars colliding and producing gold, too, jilli :-)
9:38 pm
jillibus
tyvm, mrp -- it's a word misused all the time when people mean either reluctant or hesitant, which drives me up the wall.
9:38 pm
Bugsaw
Nef!! I was wondering how you are so, how are you?
9:38 pm
jillibus
I mean, tyvm sue, duh!
9:39 pm
Minveryork
Hello uusue2! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
9:39 pm
Minveryork
Thank you jillibus! However, I am really not that cool.
9:39 pm
jillibus
Yes, sue, that about the gold was interesting too.
9:41 pm
Minveryork
Bugsaw,I picked somebody I knew people would know the most or somebody I knew who would be known by the most people. By the way, great ic4/5 theme idea!
9:42 pm
mrpresident
good lord I am bored... this laying around thing just doesn't work for me :(
9:42 pm
jillibus
I thought I had Botticelli as a birthday sharer, but it turned out that was his deathday!
9:42 pm
Jellen
5 words until halfway...trudge, trudge...
9:42 pm
Bugsaw
Americans should know Babe Ruth
9:42 pm
mrpresident

9:43 pm
jillibus
mrp -- please...lying, not laying!
9:43 pm

9:43 pm
mrpresident
lying, lying, lying
9:43 pm
uusue2
95 left for me but I have lost interest for the moment, rest of the evening will either be writing another lecture or (more likely) going to bed
9:43 pm
Minveryork
Yes, Americans should know Babe Ruth,however, not all babblers are Americans and not all watch baseball.
9:43 pm
mrpresident
i don't lay much... LOL, (poor lickety)
9:43 pm
jillibus
I had either, bugs, but Google spewed something wrong
9:44 pm
jillibus
hens lay eggs
9:44 pm
jillibus
sorry, but it's one of my bugs, mrp
9:45 pm
Jellen
Glad you survived the bat incident, sue.
9:45 pm
Bugsaw
good point Min
9:45 pm
Minveryork
I have just been trudging along with 7 left since 8:11.
9:45 pm
mrpresident

9:45 pm
jillibus

9:46 pm
mrpresident

9:46 pm

9:55 pm
Nef

Go, Go, MIN!!! You can do it!!!!
10:06 pm
Minveryork
I don't deserve to get fireworks. It took me 3 friggin hours to get all of the al4 words! Ok, 1 more word left
10:07 pm
Minveryork
I am done! I have fireworks! ve6/30 was my last word
10:07 pm
Nef
you do too deserve it, Min. I'll bet most players didn't work so hard and gave up
10:08 pm
Nef
YAY, Min!!!! WTG!!!!
10:09 pm
Minveryork
Too late to do a story, but I'll stay to give clues for a bit.I'll be here 'til 11:30 to help out w/clues if needed.
10:09 pm
uusue2
yay, min!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
10:09 pm
uusue2
and if you get all the words in less than 24 hours, you definitely deserve fireworks. So there.
10:10 pm
Minveryork
Thanks guys!
10:11 pm
Nef
I totally agree with sue: less than 24 hours to solve the grid = fireworks!
10:12 pm
Minveryork
Rank went from 818 to 788 from last Sunday to today
10:13 pm
Minveryork
That is because I did not finish any grids during week
10:15 pm
uusue2
mine is 721, I haven't finished very many grids at all
10:15 pm
Nef
I don't even look anymore; I was MUCH too addicted when I tried to keep my stats up
10:16 pm
Minveryork
It seems like if you finish a grid, your rank doesn't go up much but if you do not finish the grid, it plummets.
10:16 pm
uusue2
whatever, I seldom look at it anyway (like once every few months)
10:17 pm
Minveryork
I am the opposite.I used to not look,now I look every week. I think I should go back to not looking like you.
10:19 pm
Nef
It's much healthier feeling
10:19 pm
uusue2
ok, I am going to write a slide or two on hydrostatic equilibrium in stars and then go to bed :-)
10:19 pm
Minveryork
The last grid I finished was last Monday. I can't finish a 200+ puzzle after working all day.Most of the grids this week were over 200 words I think.Lets hope for smaller grids this week.
10:20 pm
Minveryork
Goodbye uusue2! I will see you tomorrow in the chog.
10:20 pm
Nef
they were all larger grids, Min.
10:20 pm
Nef
niters, sue!
10:21 pm
Minveryork
So I slept today until almost 1:00. Think I'll be able to go to sleep any time soon?Bad habit of mine: sleeping in late on Sundays and then going to bed very late at the start of a work week and starting week off tired.
10:23 pm
Nef
That's the worst thing you can do to yourself, Min: try keeping your wake times regular through the week and you will feel more rested.
10:25 pm
Nef
Could I please have a clue for the 9, 10, and 11 words so I can get NBS please?

pe9/60 is pe5/12, but end with cross letter plus first number + vowel & the pe10 and pe11 build off the pe9
10:29 pm
Nef

10:30 pm
Minveryork
Hello dcseain!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
10:30 pm
dcseain
only because i live with a nurse, mind you :)
10:30 pm
dcseain
i'm alrgiht, minver, thank you. How're you this evening?
10:30 pm
Minveryork
Hello Jellen! How are you doing? Welcome back to the grid. Did you finish homework already? That was fast
10:31 pm
Minveryork
I'm doing well dcseain.Just got fireworks not long ago
10:31 pm
Jellen
No, my brain got tired :-P
10:31 pm
dcseain
congrats, minver :)
10:31 pm
Jellen
Oh, congrats, Min!
10:31 pm
Minveryork
I wish my brain would get tired. I slept too late today
10:31 pm
dcseain
minver, you are 2 days older than me :)
10:32 pm
Minveryork
Thanks dcseain and Jellen.
10:33 pm
Jellen
I met a man on FB who shares my birthday...
10:33 pm
dcseain
nifty, jellen, you'll either get on famously or quite the opposite
10:34 pm
Minveryork
Supposedly our luck number is 4 so you were born on the right day.
10:34 pm
Jellen
Haven't messaged him in quite a while...He's in Australia.
10:34 pm
Nef
there was something I read somewhere that said that in a group of 15 (or 20?) the chance of 2 people having the same b'day is pretty high
10:35 pm
Minveryork
I hate having a winter birthday.Wish it was in the fall
10:35 pm
dcseain
statistically that makes sense, esp since births tend to cluster at certain times of year.
10:35 pm
dcseain
yes, Winter birthday does sometimes suck.
10:35 pm
Nef
DH's b'day is Feb 4th
10:36 pm
Jellen
One of my best friends shares my birth date, but not year (she's a few years younger).
10:36 pm
dcseain
my sister is Feb5th, twin cousins on the 7th. great-grandma on the 9th, aunt on the 14, other great-grandma on the 12. At one point, i had a family member born on each of the first14 days in Feb.
10:36 pm
Minveryork
I know siblings who have the same birthday,but they are not the same age.I haven't met anybody with my birthday yet. My Principal has same B-day as husband
10:37 pm
Minveryork
Wow! That's cool dcseain. My husband's step-father's b-ay is Feb. 7th so we always celebrated it together.
10:38 pm
Minveryork
*b-day
10:38 pm
dcseain
my sister was born 3 days before my 3rd birthday. Since i was 4, we had single celebration, until i was in Bosten the year we turned 24/21. We hated always sharing, but when we were far apart, it felt wrong by ourselves.
10:39 pm
Minveryork
Now,I don't care if my b-day is in the winter because I don't really celebrate my birthday anymore anyway.
10:39 pm
Nef
In my family (sibs and half sibs); we have 4 of the 7 all born on the 7th of the month; but the months vary (Aug, Sept. Nov. & Dec)
10:39 pm
dcseain
er, Boston.
10:39 pm
dcseain
7 Dec is my mom's birthday
10:39 pm
dcseain
i have a friend with a Feb birthday that throws a party each June or July for herself.
10:40 pm
Minveryork
April is a big birthday month for my family.Husband is April 18th, my niece is April 15th and my nephew was born in April too, however, I don't remember the date
10:40 pm
Nef
Ooops! I meant the 9th! And my brother, step mother and BIL all were born on May 25th
10:41 pm
Minveryork
I always wanted to celebrate my birthday on my half birthday which is August 6th but I never did.
10:41 pm
Nef
why not, Min?
10:42 pm
uusue2
ok, 4 slides written. Next subject is spectral classification which I will write tomorrow. See you all then!
10:43 pm
Minveryork
When I was a little child,I asked my parents if I could and they said n. Then I forgot about it. Now I do not care because like I said, I do not celebrate anymore.
10:43 pm
dcseain
be well, sue, and i always liked spectral classification
10:44 pm
Nef
Oops! Gotta go dish up DH's meds for the week! Guess that ends my working on this grid now. Happy Babbling, Everybody!!
10:44 pm
dcseain
my birthdate is a legality, due to us observing when grandparents were in town. One year, i didn't realize til i walked into library to get a library card, and the librarian wished me a happy birthday.
10:44 pm
dcseain
til later, nef
10:44 pm
Minveryork
My mom shares her birthday with Brooke Shields who was born on May 31. My Dad shares his birthday with actor Robert Redford who was born on August 18th.
10:45 pm
Minveryork
Goodbye Nef! I will see you tomorrow in the chat log.
10:45 pm
dcseain
as a child, i remembered my mom's year of birth by the fact that she was born on the 7th anniversary of Pearl Harbor. since that matched the date, made the math easy. :)
10:46 pm
Minveryork
Wonder what people do if they are born on Feb. 29th
10:46 pm
dcseain
one friend i have born on the 29 observes on 1 March, except in leap years, an claims to be 1/4 her age, since that's how often she has a birthday.
10:46 pm
Minveryork
My niece's b-day is easy too. She was born on tax day
10:47 pm
Minveryork
Never knew anyone born on Feb29th,but my dog was.
10:48 pm
jillibus
Min, my aunt was born on Feb 29, 1896 and didn't have a real birthday until she was 8 years old because there was no leap year in 1900. I think they celebrated on Feb 28.
10:48 pm
dcseain
one of my closest friends birthed her daughter on her own birthday.
10:48 pm
dcseain
28th feels more right to me for observance vs the 1st.
10:48 pm
dcseain
evening, jill
10:49 pm
Minveryork
We celebrate our dog's birthday on February 28th. I do not much of a celebration. He gets an extra treat or bone that day. Dog's b-days are easy to celebrate.
10:50 pm
dcseain
indeed so, minver
10:51 pm
jillibus
hi dc -- an appropriately distinguished birthday-sharer for you, I see!

10:53 pm

That's right, min -- I'm trying to remember what kind of dogs he has...anyone?
