It was an unexpected last-minute invitation to a Chinese Moon Festival party for a little adopted Chinese girl of 6. I wore an old embroidered silk jacket genuinely from China pre-WW2 and took my 1938 doll made in Shanghai plus some "magic flowers" which are paper and "bloom" when put into a glass of water -- also pre-war -- big hit with the little girl and everyone else.

I spent all of this last spring, into early summer in East Asia on assignment. Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, then Thailand again before returning home. Man, was I ready to come home... the sweltering heat and humidity was something else!

1:08 am

joey

negativeneil, what do you do that you were sent to those places?

1:08 am

jillibus

Scared some kids at Halloween once when I wore one...

1:10 am

negativeneil

There were various ones, jilli. I stayed there so long because I kept taking one after the other, offered in those regions, since I was already there... I access online databases I have memberships in, that post various assignments for journalists.

Yes, I guess you've taken good care of them.

1:12 am

jillibus

Hmmm -- should get my photographer son to go to those sites -- he did do some photojournalism years ago and is an excellent writer, hiding his light under a bushel as they say.

1:12 am

negativeneil

The most fun assignment was spending a few days with elephant trainers in Chiang Mai, Thailand and writing about how they train them... I had to learn how to train them and I ended up covered in elephant spit, snot and bathwater when one decided to spray me, haha! But it was fun.

an7,36 is a word used to avoid repetition. an + vowel + getting high is drug-induced eu****ia. Then plural for the an8,50.

You're welcome. You run into all these words playing boggle type word games... I do a lot of that. I've played Word Racer for years and Letterblox is a new addiction.

negativeneil

Uh, like I'd care? It's more than justified in the case of who I'm talking about and if she doesn't like it, she doesn't have to look. It's only a word! *headshake*

1:33 am

rururocks

I was talking about my sentence

1:33 am

Haha, maybe that should be my babble name.

2:02 am

Fauxmage

Yeah. You'd have to find a more Neazley picture of yourself though.

2:02 am

jillibus

why do people use :P and not :D which is a bigger laugh?

2:02 am

jillibus

Yes -- it's much more positive

2:02 am

negativeneil

Because :P isn't a laugh... it's something else.

2:03 am

negativeneil

How do you explain it, Laura?

2:03 am

jillibus

yes, a raspberry

2:03 am

Fauxmage

I use it to denote being silly.

2:03 am

negativeneil

Kind of, yeah... it indicates joking or that you find something silly/funny.

2:03 am

negativeneil

Yep, me too.

2:03 am

jillibus

Ah, that makes sense or something

2:04 am

negativeneil

Like when I tried to make that joke the other night... I'd typed a :P at the end of it to indicated I was joking around/teasing.

2:04 am

negativeneil

To indicate, even. Geez... typing's shot to hell.

2:05 am

negativeneil

Must mean it's time for sleep or something.

2:05 am

jillibus

and I missed it and got all snarky :-(

2:05 am

Fauxmage

yeah a lot of the time I use it to indicate I am making fun of myself.

negativeneil

Yes, I do that too.

2:05 am

Oh, ok. You can get one easily enough. If you uploaded them on there, you could stream them into your profile on here.

2:27 am

negativeneil

They just have to be set to "public" to show up in your profile.

2:27 am

negativeneil

I have some set that way, most are not... but those that are show up in here.

as9,66 - to make rough, harsh, or uneven. Do you have the as8,45 yet, boat?

3:56 am

negativeneil

The as8,45 is present tense of that
and the as9,66 is the past tense.

3:56 am

boatierra

No, I just have the as 5/12. I'm going thru my link looking for the signs thing. BRB

3:57 am

negativeneil

First 3 letters are a snake. Think Cleopatra.Then a vowel and a speed or time?

3:58 am

negativeneil

Ok, the as5,12 is the root of it. Build on that.

3:58 am

negativeneil

[now you should get it]

3:59 am

boatierra

Found it! Will send it off :)

4:02 am

boatierra

OK, will start working on the words again. Thanks for the clues :)

4:02 am

boatierra

Ah! Got the as 8/45

4:03 am

boatierra

and the as 9/66 :)

4:03 am

negativeneil

Thanks for that link, boat... already had that site bookmarked but didn't know about that page!

4:04 am

negativeneil

You're welcome. :)

4:05 am

boatierra

One of the signs featured in that link is from down around my university. It is chronically grafittied.

4:05 am

negativeneil

That first sign made me laugh out loud... that's exactly what it looks like, haha!

4:05 am

negativeneil

Oh really?

4:07 am

boatierra

Every year when the new school year starts up, someone defaces their "belief". Sometimes creatively, mostly not. The one featured in this list is the most creative Iâ€™ve seen.

4:07 am

negativeneil

"SPEED LIMIT 30 -- checked by Radar" Haha!

4:08 am

negativeneil

Oh, ok.

4:10 am

negativeneil

Ok, the "Applaud the Jellyfish" sign just made me laugh so loud I hope the guy in the next apartment didn't hear me!

4:11 am

negativeneil

Haha! "Beware of Crane" and some smartass makes a paper crane [bird] and sticks it on the wall. :P

4:12 am

negativeneil

Haha! The "Walk" guy hung the "Stop" guy!

4:13 am

boatierra

I love this blog, there are new signs every time I look at it!

4:13 am

negativeneil

lol "No Uni-Brows"... please tell that to some of my relatives!

4:13 am

negativeneil

Yeah, this is cracking me up. :)

4:14 am

negativeneil

"Bill Posters is an innocent man"... hilarious!

4:14 am

boatierra

My favorites are the Post No Bills and This Is Sparta! You'll eventually see 'em.

4:15 am

negativeneil

"Happiness is Submisson to God[zilla]" ROFL!

4:15 am

boatierra

That's the one!

4:17 am

negativeneil

Oh man, LOVE that handwashing sign, haha!

4:18 am

boatierra

Wash your own, so obvious :)

4:19 am

negativeneil

Uh, yeah. Even I would think of that! :P

4:19 am

negativeneil

"This Door Is Alarmed". Uh, someone actually worded a sign that way?! *headshake*

4:21 am

negativeneil

"Use Rosswalk"... groan. :P

4:22 am

negativeneil

"POST NO BILLS" -- that's good! :)

4:23 am

boatierra

I love the fact that someone took the time to find five different Bills to post. That's my kind of nerd.

4:24 am

negativeneil

Yeah, love it! That's something I would do.

4:24 am

negativeneil

I'm a nerd, dork, etc.

4:25 am

negativeneil

Ok, this really cracks me up:

"NEED SIGNS? DRIT CHEAP! SPELLING FREE!"

[gee, spelling that BAD had BETTER be free]

4:26 am

boatierra

Same here :)

4:26 am

negativeneil

"same here" to which?

4:27 am

boatierra

Oh that entire conversation, via anonymous signs, CRACKS ME UP! Oh, same here, being a geek :)

4:27 am

negativeneil

Clown College?

4:28 am

negativeneil

Oh, I see. Well I'm not technically a geek. ;) Haha! No, I'm a nerd and a dork, though.

4:28 am

boatierra

OK, what is the difference?

4:28 am

negativeneil

The "Ninja Entry" is great! :D

4:29 am

negativeneil

A geek is someone very technical. A nerd is just a very uncool person and a dork... well, looks dorky. Like me.

4:29 am

Thanks so much, boat... my stomach hurts from laughing now!

4:30 am

boatierra

yw :)

4:30 am

negativeneil

[and I doubt the guy next door to me thanks you]

4:31 am

boatierra

Laughter is always a good thing. Its one of my favorite things to do.

4:32 am

Jayk

Tampa General's website has a little google map on it--no street names, just topography with an arrow where the hospital is. Underneath it says "This map should not be used when seeking medical attention."

4:32 am

negativeneil

Jayk, you want more addictive word games? See the OMGPOP "Letterblox" link in my profile.

4:32 am

boatierra

Though I'm not very technical, I do belong to a group of geeks. At least that's what we call ourselves. Definitely lots of nerds in our group.

4:33 am

boatierra

Jayk - Classic :)

4:33 am

Jayk

I did see that. I was trying to avert my eyes.

4:33 am

negativeneil

Uh, yeah... that makes sense, Jayk! :P

4:33 am

Jayk

Did Bachman really say that??! Squeak?

4:34 am

negativeneil

No, you shouldn't avert your eyes. Letterblox is TOO good. Resistance is futile. ;)

4:34 am

sprite

good morning all

4:35 am

negativeneil

And yes... either literally or figuratively, depending what precisely you are referring to?

4:35 am

negativeneil

Morning sprite.

4:35 am

Jayk

about the fed...

4:35 am

boatierra

Good morning :)

4:36 am

sprite

good grid today?

4:36 am

negativeneil

Oh yeah. She's digging her own grave.

4:37 am

negativeneil

I enjoyed it, sprite.

4:37 am

negativeneil

I like a nice meaty one... hope for some bigger ones, so far I haven't seen any over 300 words.

4:37 am

sprite

good! *divng in*

4:37 am

negativeneil

But I'm told and assured they exist.

4:38 am

sprite

yep, around 600 even

4:38 am

boatierra

Oh yes, there have been the elusive 300, 400 + puzzles.

4:38 am

negativeneil

Wow. Wooow.... I'd LOVE that. Bring it ON!

4:39 am

negativeneil

BRB

4:39 am

boatierra

I've never seen 600 but then again I've been a sporatic Babbler over the years.

4:39 am

sprite

they are fun, though very time consuming. But no way to tell when they will hit, it is almost totally random.

4:42 am

sprite

and mrP once made the ultimate monster grid, that was over 700... or even 800, I don't remember exactly.

4:42 am

boatierra

OMG, that would take days...

4:43 am

sprite

yes indeed :)

4:43 am

boatierra

I like the 24 hr rotation.

4:43 am

sprite

so do I. There isn't much about babble I would change.

4:44 am

boatierra

Same here.

4:45 am

sprite

desparate desperate

4:46 am

sprite

omg... I am so sorry! Don't know how that happened :(

4:46 am

sprite

darn... neither is valid!

4:47 am

boatierra

Meh, no biggie.

4:47 am

sprite

lol indeed, thought I'd found my first one. But no.

4:48 am

boatierra

I keep wanting to make 'spoork'

4:48 am

sprite

ooo that would have been a nice one

4:49 am

mrpresident

evening all :)

4:49 am

boatierra

Evening :)

4:50 am

sprite

hey mrP :)

4:50 am

sprite

just told in chog you once made a MONSTER grid. Remember it?

4:51 am

mrpresident

hi sprite :)
hi boati :)
nice size grid!

4:51 am

mrpresident

yes sprite, still have it

4:52 am

sprite

would still be nice if we could do it one day... Jamie should put it up on a separate page

4:52 am

negativeneil

Back... hi mrp! :)

4:52 am

mrpresident

hi neil :)

4:53 am

mrpresident

he doesn't want to change the program at all. It would be great, but would not be via Jamie unfortunately.

4:53 am

sprite

nope, don't I just know it

4:54 am

negativeneil

I'm such a word nerd that I did the Babble cake grid on jilli's Flickr page in a comment on that photo.

4:54 am

mrpresident

i will check with lickety to see what we could do to put one out there... and it would not be publicly available of course.

4:55 am

sprite

lol, addict!

4:55 am

negativeneil

Uh, yep. That about sums it up.

4:55 am

sprite

no that would be great! It would be so much fun, but for a grid that size we really should have a kind of add box system.

4:56 am

sprite

yeah well, you know what they say, neil... it takes one to know one.

4:56 am

mrpresident

i will talk to lickety about that for sure

4:56 am

sprite

it would be awesome, mrP.

4:57 am

sprite

so... how have you been? Any news on the dickhead department? And how are you feeling atm?

4:58 am

boatierra

A Babble cake?

4:58 am

mrpresident

the Prick tried to call me!! I found his number on my missed calls list... he must be missing me, cause I have been layed up in bed for over 2 weeks. Psychopath is looking for me.

4:59 am

sprite

omg how sad is that. Isn't that a violation of his restraining order?

5:05 am

sprite

... did chog freeze again?

5:07 am

boatierra

sibilance, sibilance...

5:07 am

boatierra

Looks like its working :)

5:07 am

sprite

:D

5:08 am

sprite

just you and me left, boatierra, it seems!

5:08 am

boatierra

:)

5:15 am

negativeneil

Ugh. Sorry to anyone who may have said something to me to which I didn't respond because that's kinda hard to do when you're rebooting because your cursor decides to freeze on you and you can't make it move! :P

5:16 am

negativeneil

Ummm, mrp? Surely, isn't a phone call a violation of the prick's restraining order?

5:16 am

sprite

sure is. happens to me sometimes when I am gaming. very frustrating.

5:16 am

negativeneil

Frustrating ain't the word for it!

5:16 am

negativeneil

Severely aggravating!

5:17 am

sprite

that too

5:17 am

negativeneil

I'd be showing proof ot that to the police for a start, mrp.

5:17 am

negativeneil

Ok, "of that" even.

5:17 am

negativeneil

[typing's going to hell in a handbasket again]

5:17 am

sprite

looks like mrP dropped off the babble world or computer world as well, neil

5:18 am

mrpresident

sorry all, just got another threatening call

5:18 am

sprite

jeez, just while we were talking about it? Did you take the call?

5:19 am

mrpresident

sleeping with one eye open over the next couple of months now!!

5:20 am

mrpresident

my husband took the call.

5:20 am

oh that is for boatierra, she asked about the pie.

5:21 am

boatierra

That

5:21 am

mrpresident

i am fuming... just fuming! calling my lawyer and police

5:21 am

boatierra

That's so cool, the cake :)

5:21 am

boatierra

Sorry about the jerk mrp :(

5:21 am

negativeneil

Oh yeah, mrp. Thought about changing your phone number while you're at it? I know that's a pain, but might be worthwhile?

5:21 am

sprite

very wise, mrP. Sounds like you should be taping the phonecalls.

5:22 am

negativeneil

Absolutely, sprite! Yeah, it might not be "admissable evidence" in court but I'd do it anyway. It's still proof of his harrassment.

5:24 am

negativeneil

This is the cake photo I should have used to do that grid... but I left a silly comment under it:

Oh, Ok.

ho right back at ye, Mema

Not me... I'm a good boy. 0:-)

5:34 am

boatierra

Oh Jesus...wah..wah...:)

5:34 am

Mema

sorry!

5:35 am

negativeneil

Haha!

5:35 am

sprite

lol... a ho can be a good boy too, though

5:35 am

negativeneil

How do you figure that, sprite?

5:35 am

sprite

welcome to the chat, Mema ;)

5:35 am

boatierra

BRB

5:35 am

Mema

thanks

5:36 am

negativeneil

No problem, Mema... it was amusing. :)

5:36 am

sprite

I don't hold that a ho is automatically a bad person

5:36 am

negativeneil

Well no, I don't either... but I meant "good boy" asi in, well... not a "ho".

5:37 am

negativeneil

"as" even, geez.

5:38 am

sprite

I was thinking a good boy with a bad occupation

5:38 am

negativeneil

Haha! Not me... mine's very tame.

5:39 am

sprite

lol no I wasn't thinking YOU were. Just playing with thoughts and words.

5:39 am

negativeneil

Yep. :)

5:40 am

negativeneil

*polishes up halo*
[and hopes sprite doesn't read all of his bio]

5:41 am

sprite

believe me, I wouldn't judge anyone by any part of bio... just by behaviour.

5:42 am

negativeneil

lol... just meant there might be a swear word or two in there. :P

5:42 am

sprite

hey I can cuss with the best of you, grin

5:42 am

negativeneil

[actually more like several but who's counting?]

5:43 am

sprite

not me... I let a real bad one fly yesterday in front of my kids. I slapped my hand over my mouth and looked as horrified as I felt. And my daughter said: "Relax mum, we know we are not allowed to say that." "Not in front of you anyway," my son added.

5:45 am

negativeneil

Haha! "Do as I say, not as I do?" ;)

5:45 am

negativeneil

Or... not as you SAY, in that case. :P

5:46 am

sprite

yeah, something like that :)
Well, as long as they know, we must have taught them correctly, right?

5:46 am

negativeneil

Sure. We both swear but then you should hear our dad, haha. We turned out ok anyway. ;)

5:48 am

sprite

oh, no swearing in our house when I was a kid! All very clean, at least to look at. Doesn't give a measure of a good family though!

5:48 am

negativeneil

Our parents never made a big deal of it... they just made sure we knew the time, place and company when, where and with it was inappropriate. You can't control what your kids say when they're out with their friends anyway... they're gonna swear.

5:49 am

negativeneil

Not really. We're a very good, close-knit family!

5:49 am

sprite

absolutely. Especially boys my son's age (15). It is a phase for most.

5:50 am

negativeneil

Yep. One I haven't exactly grown out of. :P

5:50 am

sprite

we were not. Not at all even. I'd take a cussing but good and close-knit family over mine anyday.

5:50 am

sprite

practice makes perfect, neil :P

5:50 am

negativeneil

I don't think I'm that bad... but watching these recent/current political debates is enough to make a saint swear, I tell ya.

5:51 am

negativeneil

Aww. Sorry to hear that. :(

5:52 am

sprite

but I learned to cuss quite good later on :)
Never watch political debates, to be honest. Can't stand them. Can't stand politicians at all.

5:52 am

EspritdJean

I'm with you sprire

5:52 am

EspritdJean

sprite

5:52 am

EspritdJean

don't trust a single one

5:52 am

negativeneil

Well, I'm a journalist and political writer... so I kind of have to keep up on these things.

5:52 am

sprite

glad I am not the only one! Hi dJean :)

5:53 am

sprite

that is what I always say: they all lie. Through their teeth.

5:53 am

negativeneil

Smart, Jean... neither do I.

5:53 am

EspritdJean

arrogance, corruption and greed = politicians in my opinion

5:53 am

negativeneil

Of course they do. It's a political prerequisite.

5:53 am

EspritdJean

or is just because I live in the State of Illinois

5:54 am

EspritdJean

where our governors go from the State House to the Big House

5:54 am

negativeneil

But what can any of us do? Try to vote for the lesser of the evils.

5:54 am

sprite

nope they are the same all over the world. It takes a certain kind of person to go into politics and reach the top.

5:54 am

EspritdJean

that's the frustration neil

5:55 am

negativeneil

Read my entire bio/profile, Jean... my commentaries and paraphrasing of the debates may amuse you.

5:55 am

sprite

that' what I always try to do, neil. Not voting is worse than voting for a politician... but not by much ;)

5:55 am

EspritdJean

our current pool of politicians is a national embarrassment

5:55 am

negativeneil

Of course, sprite. Always, always vote. At least we get a say... people in some countries don't.

5:56 am

negativeneil

Pretty much, Jean.

5:56 am

negativeneil

I think you may enjoy reading my commentaries though... I was online posting them as I was watching.

5:57 am

sprite

I agree. If I really cannot make up my mind, I vote for a small party, like the one for animal rights in our country.

5:57 am

negativeneil

I paraphrase the participants... to show what in fact they're actually saying.

5:58 am

boatierra

100 words. I think I'm done for now. Thanks for all the great conversation and laughs. Boa noite :)

5:58 am

sprite

yeah I see how that could be very amusing

5:58 am

negativeneil

Well it's all in my profile, sprite.

5:58 am

negativeneil

ruru gets a kick out of it.

5:58 am

sprite

wtg boatierra, and thanks for your great company :)

5:59 am

negativeneil

Good going, boatierra... and it's been fun. :)

5:59 am

negativeneil

Good night and sleep well... at 4am, think it's about time I got some shuteye, geez!

6:00 am

sprite

sounds like my kind of nights lately. I try to believe sleep is overrated, but after a while my body disagrees too clearly

6:01 am

sprite

ooooo I found the 10!

6:02 am

sprite

sleep well, neil

6:03 am

EspritdJean

got a def for the 10?

6:04 am

sprite

sure: to protrude abnormally from an enclosed cavity or from the body

6:05 am

sprite

for this grid it is 'the process of...'

6:05 am

EspritdJean

starting letters?

6:06 am

negativeneil

Uh, no... sleep is very underrated. I'm off to get some. Good night/morning people! Over and out.

6:26 am

mrpresident

isn't that sad... to say 'that is the norm' to psychopathic Fwits

6:26 am

Uneaixoise

mrp, after reading in chog about all you and lickety are dealing with, I'm speechless . . . so very sorry and sending big hugs your way . . .

6:26 am

mrpresident

hi sue!!

6:26 am

yes they are very accommodating in that sense, mrP. They will hang themselves in the end.

6:26 am

uusue2

oh, good, mrp, hopefully you can put at least one thing behind you soon

6:27 am

mrpresident

une, thank you... we will prevail

6:27 am

6:27 am

indeed, sprite, which is exactly what happened with my son's ex-girifriendd

6:27 am

uusue2

*girlfriend (my finger stutters)

6:28 am

the sad thing is, while we wait for them to hang themselves, it is eroding our energy etc

6:43 am

6:43 am

Trifioso

I bought a new screen online, and installed it, but now windows won't run. So clearly it requires more help than I can give it, but until the dosh situation improves, it is going to stay broken.

6:43 am

Trifioso

the list of things that are broken at my house right now is TRULY staggering.

6:43 am

sprite

that is a lousy state to be in, Trif. *hugs*

8:37 am

8:37 am

Aloyisius

that was a good one, too

8:37 am

Anniebrook

*hands scrabbs my coverlet*---thank you

8:38 am

Scrabbler

Does anyone have special laundering requests? My technique = toss everything in cold water, wash, dry at low temp. My mother would be horrified.

8:39 am

Anniebrook

lol, fine with me

8:39 am

Anniebrook

cyber laundry, only if it were so

8:39 am

Aloyisius

have ocd related to laundry, trying to get over it

8:39 am

doseffing

... I won't tell you mother if you don't tell mine ...

8:40 am

Aloyisius

can't throw dirty socks in with washcloths

8:40 am

Anniebrook

my ocd is worse than yours, aloy

8:40 am

Aloyisius

so I do a pre-wash, there I have confessed all

8:41 am

Aloyisius

dunno Annie, am pretty hard core here

8:41 am

rubyfoo

hello everybody

8:41 am

Anniebrook

I hope you win, aloy, I am pretty bad

8:41 am

Anniebrook

hi (((ruby))))

8:42 am

8:42 am

JBV

good morning - you are so funny - I'm with scrabbler, everything in one tub - no worries -

8:43 am

Aloyisius

hi JBV, am trying to reform but ...

8:43 am

JBV

but I do use OxyClean as a pre-soak, could do a commercial for it, I think it's fantastic

8:43 am

Anniebrook

hi jbv, you are well adjusted...lol

8:44 am

redturtlehead

I admit....I wash in Hot water. I know it is wasteful but I have some clothes that come out smelling like they went in if I dont use the hot, and I do like JBV use Oxyclean.

8:44 am

Anniebrook

*must buy Oxy Clean* --must buy Oxy Clean

8:44 am

rubyfoo

just two day's newspapers

8:44 am

rubyfoo

days'

8:45 am

rubyfoo

this is a nice grid but of course I won't finish.....

8:45 am

JBV

unless you have really seriously ugly laundry (muddy kids' clothes, etc.) I think it doesn't matter

8:46 am

redturtlehead

I was just wondering exactly when the grid would get yukky, I have only 109.

8:46 am

Anniebrook

youre absolutely right

8:46 am

rubyfoo

the only things I wash in hot water and bed linens and underwear

8:46 am

rubyfoo

everything else at 30C

8:46 am

vanillaslice

hello everyone back to try and finish 16 left

8:46 am

Scrabbler

Hi ruby, jbv, vanilla

8:46 am

Anniebrook

go vanilla go

8:46 am

rubyfoo

that's amazing, vanilla

8:46 am

rubyfoo

I have 177 and will be hard-pressed to find any more

8:46 am

Scrabbler

I use oxy clean but not as prerinse

8:47 am

vanillaslice

lots of sweat earlier lol

8:47 am

redturtlehead

yes, well, my laundry gets sweaty. or hospital gunk.

8:47 am

Aloyisius

I am still mourning the loss of my suds-saver machine, long gone.. why oh why, in this age of "green" marketing.. no suds-savers, sob, sniff..

8:47 am

Scrabbler

Oooh, vanilla, you are so close! I have 166 left.

8:47 am

rubyfoo

ty for he7, scrabs, I'll bring you an iced tea in the PB

8:47 am

redturtlehead

Oh Aloy, we will install one in the PB....with a plaque on it for you.

8:47 am

Aloyisius

I would be so honored !

8:48 am

JBV

hospital gunk - another special category, of course :)

8:48 am

Scrabbler

My mother is very OCD about lots of things but esp laundry--presoak, wash (whites/colors/knots are separated), then a double rinse.

8:48 am

rubyfoo

I keep trying to type appetite or appetit (fr) but no luck

8:48 am

Aloyisius

but where are you going to find one?

8:48 am

Scrabbler

change last vowel

8:48 am

Anniebrook

name that proper noun...scarlett"s beloved ?

8:48 am

rubyfoo

I'm only OCD about dishes, everything is pretty much clean before it goes in the dishwasher

8:49 am

Aloyisius

... rhett

8:49 am

Anniebrook

ding ding ding

8:49 am

Scrabbler

NO, bad clue! ap7 is homophone for appetite

8:49 am

MollyL

I separate whites, colors and towels. And I only do whites and towels in hot water. I have clothes that would be ruined if I washed them in hot water.

8:49 am

Aloyisius

eek, ruby.. my sister is the same way.. you do need to reform that practice, but I know you can't

8:50 am

Scrabbler

then another ap7 = e.g. gym ap*****us = equpiment

8:50 am

rubyfoo

I can't stand stuck-on food!

8:50 am

MollyL

No point in using the dishwasher then Ruby.

8:50 am

rubyfoo

OCD, for sure

8:50 am

Scrabbler

Confession: sometimes I wash an item or 2 when I am in the shower, then hang to dry

8:51 am

rubyfoo

I put it on eco setting and run it at off-hours and only at 45C

8:51 am

Boobear

Clue for ar 6

8:51 am

Aloyisius

nice, Scrabbs

8:51 am

JBV

LOL, scrabs - are you wearing it at the time?

8:52 am

vanillaslice

8:52 am

rubyfoo

still trying to find the ap's :(

8:52 am

Aloyisius

click and clack, the ta6 brothers are in the grid

8:52 am

Boobear

Ty srange word

8:53 am

vanillaslice

dipht... is a serious disease

8:53 am

Aloyisius

no idea what it means

8:53 am

Aloyisius

had my shot against it yesterday

8:55 am

Aloyisius

almost fell over in the pharmacy when I had to copay $70 for my ear drops

8:55 am

Scrabbler

No, I don't wear an item as I wash it. Just a bra, or shirt that I really need to clean but when I don't need to do a full load.

8:55 am

vanillaslice

one ap7 sounds like a yearning for food

8:55 am

rubyfoo

just got it, ty

8:55 am

MollyL

That's a lot Aloy. Weird how it turned out you and Red both had ear infections.

8:55 am

rubyfoo

uh oh, thumper is afoot. see you later

8:56 am

vanillaslice

the other 7 like a thing without the final us

8:56 am

Aloyisius

yes.. and I think it was the same ear

8:56 am

Scrabbler

Aloy, I doubt those were the only ear drops your doc could have prescribed. Shame on doc.

8:57 am

Aloyisius

Cipro, Scrabbs..

8:58 am

Scrabbler

Probably CiproHC. You could have been rxd a generic that would be just as effective. Docs should always factor in co-pay amt when rxing drugs.

8:58 am

Aloyisius

will let her know what they cost next time I see her

8:58 am

Aloyisius

$140, insurance covered half

8:58 am

rubyfoo

back for a couple of minutes; he's out feeding the fish and the birds

8:58 am

Aloyisius

yup, that was the one

8:58 am

rubyfoo

that is a shocking amount for ear drops!

8:59 am

Aloyisius

thought so too, ruby.. thought I misheard, lol.. so I made the clerk repeat it

8:59 am

Scrabbler

You can always speak with the pharmacist about less expensive alternatives. And I bet the bottle you got has just 5 or 10 ml in it. Shame on pharm company too.

9:00 am

Scrabbler

The cost of meds makes me crazy, as does the direct to consumer advertising.

9:01 am

Aloyisius

de7 my complaints, I paid the bill

9:01 am

Anniebrook

cipro is so expensive

9:02 am

rubyfoo

ty aloy

9:02 am

rubyfoo

183 words

9:02 am

Anniebrook

great clue, aloy, sorry about your earache tho

9:02 am

MollyL

I'm glad you got it treated Aloy. I know someone who ignored an ear infection way too long because of something she read on the internet and she ended up in the ER.

9:02 am

Aloyisius

no pain, Annie... just a buncha gunk

9:03 am

rubyfoo

it must be terribly painful

9:03 am

Scrabbler

Brain death is occurring--BBL

9:03 am

rubyfoo

ooops!

9:03 am

Aloyisius

well, Molly.. I kept hoping it would "go away", so I didn't go to the doc for a month, shame on me

9:04 am

rubyfoo

*poof* for now

9:05 am

Aloyisius

ruby you remind me of a comedian (can't think of the name now, will find it) with a great routine about being in France and dying for Italian food.. days, weeks go by, and then he finds out he's a 45-minute drive from Italy - did you ever see it?

10:39 am

rubyfoo

no, but that's very funny because we used to go to Aosta for lunch, but don't do it any more

10:39 am

rubyfoo

this part of France used to be Italian, but they've forgotten how to cook

10:40 am

rubyfoo

Aosta is a great place, but DH's driving isn't what it used to be....

10:42 am

I"m taking notes ruby - would love to go to Aosta....

10:42 am

rubyfoo

if you go to Aosta on one of your family-related trips, please come to visit! we have a super guest room and bath, very private and with a view of the lake!

10:44 am

rubyfoo

we used to go there whenever we had a visitor, mostly the first few years

10:44 am

rubyfoo

and I would shop for groceries

10:45 am

rubyfoo

what's funny is that the first time we went there, we struggled mightily to speak Italian (none of us could) and found out only later, that it is a French-speaking town

10:45 am

JBV

thank you ruby, I will remember your lovely offer :)

11:09 am

Nef

since I've had surgery, the main clinic has moved and one of the CNM's (Certified Nurse Midwife) is quitting. We only had clinics once or twice a week; but losing someone who has been there for 20 years is a shocker

11:10 am

I could go for a really good, not too sweet, homemade yeast bread cinnamon roll

12:10 pm

Unfortunately, the donuts in there are invisible and have as much flavor as they do appearance. :P But at least they're non-caloric, I guess.

12:11 pm

rururocks

we have lousy donuts up here in the Valley

12:11 pm

gremlinn

neil: those are the donut holes. Holes are invisible.

12:12 pm

Or did YOU eat everything else?

12:12 pm

Someone desperate ate the sprinkled ones.

12:13 pm

I go more for cookies than donuts myself... and not really sweet ones, usually. I like peanut butter cookies... those really big, soft ones, warm from the oven. Yum!

ugh the iowa governor (dumb republican) has appointed a democratic state senator to a board, which means she will resign and her seat will likely go republlican, throwing control to the republicans and then they will vote to repeal the gay marriage thing. my marriage could be repealed.

4:18 pm

Nef

DANG!! Caught again! <stomping off to the PB> ;-)

4:18 pm

gremlinn

it wouldn't just affect future marriages? Dang.

4:19 pm

cosdem

i hope if they do a repeal it'll be like california's ... future marriages only...

4:19 pm

trentsnana

Hi all

4:19 pm

cosdem

well it wouldnt be a repeal. it would be put up to a statewide vote but you never know with people.

4:19 pm

trentsnana

Sorry to hear that, Cos. Hope it doesn't happen.

4:20 pm

cosdem

polls in iowa show a small majority in support of marriage equality so let's hope for the best

4:20 pm

trentsnana

I'm with you.

4:20 pm

cosdem

thanks :)

4:20 pm

trentsnana

My son just got married in Boston this year. He's happy, so I'm happy.

4:21 pm

cosdem

my uncle and his partner got married in california when it was legal. then they repealed it but his marriage was still valid so .. what a mess.

4:21 pm

4:22 pm

lbdawger

finito!!

4:22 pm

gremlinn

yeah, especially a mess with having to worry about which states "recognize" marriages performed in other states

4:22 pm

Nef

Go, lbd!

4:22 pm

trentsnana

It is a mess. It should just be allowed in all states.

4:22 pm

Nef

YAY, lbd!!! WTG!!!

4:22 pm

gremlinn

only a matter of time, I'm sure

4:22 pm

trentsnana

My son and his partner moved to DC. I'm pretty sure it's legal there, too.

4:22 pm

trentsnana

GG lb

4:23 pm

cosdem

yes its legal in DC

4:23 pm

cosdem

DC, MA, CT, VT, IA and one more state I forget.. I want to say maryland but i thinkt hats wrong

4:23 pm

MollyL

Cos, that is crazy. How can they repeal marriage vows?

4:23 pm

cosdem

duh. New York.

4:23 pm

Nef

I saw a bumper sticker saying something to the effect of " how many gays does God have to make to make them equal?"

4:24 pm

cosdem

molly -- i think it'll only affect future marriages.

4:24 pm

trentsnana

Good one, Nef.

4:24 pm

trentsnana

God doesn't make junk.

4:24 pm

cosdem

even dick cheney came out in support of marriage equality lol come on.

4:24 pm

trentsnana

All are equal in my eyes.

4:24 pm

MollyL

I would hope so. Marriage is a legally binding contract. They can't just do a "take back".

4:25 pm

BzznBea

Doesn't Cheney have a gay daughter?

4:25 pm

cosdem

what they did in california was they left the ones who got married legal and just didnt let new couples get married,

4:25 pm

cosdem

yes bea. thats why he supports it.

4:26 pm

trentsnana

well, I think everyone would be surprised if they realized just how many people in the world are gay. there are some still hiding it because of fear.

4:26 pm

trentsnana

a lot

4:27 pm

trentsnana

it's getting better and I'm glad

4:27 pm

cosdem

NC will vote on a ban in May 2012 but a new poll shows 55% oppose such a ban there.

4:27 pm

cosdem

Colorado thre is an effort to get a repeal of the ban on the ballot in 2012.

4:28 pm

trentsnana

the numbers are getting better all of the time

4:28 pm

i dont want the repeal of a ban ont he ballot in Nov. 2012 though. it'll bring out the more conservative voters and help the republican nominee for president. like it did in 2004

HALFWAY! To the list!

5:06 pm

Takes a pretty gross picture to gross me out. I didn't even wince at the pics in my anatomy book (like the front half of a human head, seen from inside).

5:07 pm

6:08 pm

hurshy

:(

6:08 pm

Oh no! That sucks.

6:08 pm

hurshy

it could be worse, jmc. i have a friend who is five months pregnant and found out she has an aggressive form of breast cancer.

6:08 pm

jmcnrick

i gave the go ahead in june

6:08 pm

negativeneil

Oh my god, how awful hurshy. :(

6:08 pm

jmcnrick

true that is worse hursh

6:09 pm

jmcnrick

will the baby be born in time?

6:09 pm

hurshy

well the tentative plan i heard was to give her low dose chemo now, carry the baby 6 more weeks, then take it out, do the surgery for the cancer, then higher dose chemo.

6:10 pm

hurshy

should know more after the meeting with the surgeon they were having today.

6:10 pm

jmcnrick

wow rough

6:10 pm

negativeneil

Wow. How will the chemo affect the baby? That can't be good?

6:10 pm

hurshy

yeah, i mean, new baby, rough. preemie, rougher. preemie plus cancer treatment, geez.

6:10 pm

negativeneil

Yeah, very rough. I guess they have to do something though.

6:11 pm

hurshy

no, i imagine it can't be good. i don't know enough about medicine to know what the effects would be.

6:11 pm

negativeneil

I know. Hope she'll have lots of help?

6:11 pm

negativeneil

I don't either. Not a clue.

6:11 pm

jmcnrick

well the thing is chemicals have bigger effects on younger babies so the fact that she is 5 months rather than 4 months is to the good

6:12 pm

hurshy

i hope so too. think she probably will. her husband is a pastor so the church people will be eager to help, and family too.

6:12 pm

jmcnrick

affects? whatever

6:12 pm

hurshy

they have an adopted 2 year old daughter, too.

6:12 pm

negativeneil

Oh that's good.

6:12 pm

negativeneil

[that they will have all that suppport and help]

6:12 pm

6:13 pm

6:13 pm

hurshy

sigh

6:13 pm

hurshy

well, sorry, i didn't mean to prevent you from venting, jmc :)

6:13 pm

jmcnrick

no no i will pass your need to vent trumped mine

6:14 pm

hurshy

well there is no reason you can't vent too

6:16 pm

jmcnrick

yesterday when i was at the mcdonalds on the way back to town i met two old married couples who were fussing at each other and we talked and laughed a while and when one of the men went back to fussing at the staff (nicely) she complained and i poo pooed it and she said i didn't have to live with him and i said no and laughed and thought what i wouldn't give to be fussing at my hubby and she didn't know when she had it good

6:17 pm

hurshy

i guess that's the thing. the fact that other people have worse problems never makes our problems actually better.

6:17 pm

jmcnrick

so that is my real vent for the day--i will pray for your friend and her husband and children and remember life is too short to worry about things

8:01 pm

MollyL

Time for a new Chinese delivery place.

8:01 pm

stidmama

"spoiled" as in tasting funny, no. As in kills bacteria that might be there and make it fully cooked, generally yes -- BUT if you are at all suspicious then of course don't worry about it.

8:01 pm

mab

it is probably ok.

8:01 pm

jmcnrick

yes mab tell me more

8:01 pm

mab

probably

8:01 pm

jmcnrick

more detail to be more precise

8:01 pm

8:02 pm

mab

but you won't enjoy it because you'll be thinking it's spoiled. throw it away...

8:03 pm

lbdawger

when in doubt, throw it out!

8:03 pm

jmcnrick

haha you are so right mab and i can't even foist it off on the boy--he's very suspicious of anything i give him that isn't in a can

8:04 pm

jmcnrick

sigh well at least i am not hungry anymore--the crispy eggplant was way too sweet and the duck weird--i should have gotten my regular food from them

8:05 pm

jmcnrick

for example i had an employee come on shift so strung out that when i went to send him home,he forgot where he lived

8:53 pm

jesdraggon

very nice

8:53 pm

jmcnrick

well should i be a telephone solicitor for the school i am going to or should i be a transcriber?

8:53 pm

crosshair

i had to look it up in payroll and toss him in a cab

8:54 pm

jesdraggon

transcriber, jam

8:54 pm

jmcnrick

i shared a waitressing shift with a woman stoned on acid--it was in a jazz club

8:54 pm

crosshair

transcriber,telephone solicitors do all that cold calling everyone hates

8:54 pm

jmcnrick

no it is not cold calling--we are calling alumni

8:54 pm

jesdraggon

worked with a guy once who cleaned out the cab of the work truck one day.

8:54 pm

jesdraggon

with a HOSE

8:55 pm

jesdraggon

it was a carpeted floor, cloth-upholstered pick up.

8:55 pm

jmcnrick

hate to think what was on the floor of the cab to make him think that was a good idea

8:55 pm

jesdraggon

don't do it, jam. it's a crappy job--i know the people who called me certainly got a crappy response.

8:56 pm

MollyL

Oh my God Jes, we had a truck driver who did that same exact thing. I thought he was the only one dumb enough to do that. I thought my boss was going to blow a gasket.

8:56 pm

crosshair

indeed jmc,nothing like dealing with irritated people on the phone all day to burn you out

8:56 pm

jesdraggon

or if you do, try to find out if they are still current students before you call...

8:56 pm

mab

jmc, this is just a wild suggestion, but have you thought of maybe, say, practice law?

8:56 pm

jmcnrick

i did it for my center--generally got good responses

8:57 pm

jmcnrick

hahahaha!

8:57 pm

pigeonman

pe7? please?

8:57 pm

jmcnrick

not sure i can manage going to school full time and practice law at the same time mab but thanks for the thought

8:57 pm

jesdraggon

hah! I haven't ever met anybody else with same story, molly! :)

8:57 pm

crosshair

lol have to tell just one jmc..what is the difference between a trampoline and a lawyer?

8:58 pm

pigeonman

also the pt?

8:58 pm

mab

oh, i didn't realize you were studying. what?

8:58 pm

jmcnrick

you eventually want to stop jumping on the trampoline

8:58 pm

crosshair

you take your shoes off to jump on a trampoline!

8:58 pm

jmcnrick

a masters in conflict transformation mab

8:58 pm

crosshair

but good answer

8:59 pm

jesdraggon

I used to get calls from the alumni center every semester asking for donations, even though I was still a student, and paying more than $10,000 tuition. I was NOT giving donations.

8:59 pm

mab

oh yes, I think I remember that. It sounds fascinating.

8:59 pm

mixi6

pe4 + the quote was ***.

8:59 pm

jmcnrick

then it was not well run jes--unless they were willing to take a $1 donation

8:59 pm

gremlinn

Schools need more money...so they can pay teachers even less. It all makes sense.

9:00 pm

crosshair

jmc,have you heard much on this new thing of lawyer insurance? and if so,your thoughts on it,it seems to be big overseas

9:00 pm

jesdraggon

i couldn't believe they wouldn't cross-check to see if their "alumni" had continued on into a graduate program! it was very very annoying.

9:00 pm

jmcnrick

this school actually doesn't charge much tuition and has a high success with their undergrads getting into med school, etc.

9:01 pm

wht

Good evening Babblers

9:01 pm

MollyL

Grem, teacher salaries are deplorable. It's a shame they are not paid more.

9:01 pm

jmcnrick

lawyer insurance is not new crossy

9:01 pm

crosshair

howdy wht

9:01 pm

gremlinn

hi wht

9:01 pm

jesdraggon

and even after i told them that i was still a student and asked them to stop calling, they called back. every freaking semester.

9:01 pm

crosshair

it is not widely used here yet

9:01 pm

jmcnrick

in fact i am on a panel of lawyers for a plan run by a union

9:02 pm

jmcnrick

how long ago was this jes? a halfway decent run campaign wouldn't do that

9:02 pm

jmcnrick

i can't say it is widely used anywhere crossy but it has been used for about 30 years that i know of

9:03 pm

pigeonman

still can't get that pe7.

9:04 pm

gremlinn

Yep, that was my point, but I was conflating public/private education for the point of the joke, heh.

9:04 pm

The entire time i was in veterinary school, jam. so from 2000 - 2005.

9:05 pm

jesdraggon

Oddly enough, I haven't gotten a single call asking for donations since I actually graduated.

9:06 pm

jmcnrick

well the systems have improved somewhat since then but i know we marked our records at the center if anyone said do not call

9:06 pm

jmcnrick

well they probably improved the system well enough to mark it do not call

9:07 pm

jesdraggon

i think they just don't have my current phone number, jam ;)

9:07 pm

jmcnrick

unless your only phone is a cell phone, they have it

9:07 pm

pe5-12 the 2nd please....thanks

crosshair

lol,was harsh at the time,but to be honest i miss it now,things were more elemental,you were one with nature and the changes of the seasons,hard part was working outside all day in minus 30 temps and you would come in the house to the heat of the wood stove and you had to fight to stay awake

9:29 pm

9:29 pm

Jacula

Hi all. Really annoyed here! I just spent about an hour writing, illustrating and editing a blog post only to have it disappear into the ether - no draft saved, it seems, no trace. What a waste of time!

9:29 pm

mab

i don't have don ho, but i've got sinatra singing the summer wind

9:29 pm

wht

I spent some time in an unheated farmhouse near Utica NY. We named the upstairs bedrooms, Inner Siberia and Outer Siberia.

:(((

9:30 pm

Sorry jac. That is such a bummer.

9:30 pm

jmcnrick

on the other hand i can live close to nature when it is hot

9:30 pm

wht

Maybe crossy will share some of his bacon vodka with you.

9:30 pm

Jacula

There probably is some way of recovering it - but my son would know how to do that.

9:30 pm

MollyL

Jac, is there any way you can write them in a word document, saving as you go along and then copy and paste to the blog site?

9:30 pm

jmcnrick

i write everything long in open office with automatic save

9:31 pm

Jacula

wht - bacon, yes. Vodka, no. Vodka doesn't agree with me.

9:31 pm

jmcnrick

the damn cop down the block is revving his motorcycle

9:31 pm

Jacula

Molly and jmc - yes, I should really write to word or office first. Writing straight to Blogger is a bad habit.

9:32 pm

jmcnrick

okay i think i am done with 105 words left

9:32 pm

MollyL

Jac, can you contact the blog site owner? It probably is somewhere that they can access.

9:32 pm

Jacula

Molly - I'll just write it all again when I have the time. It'll probably be all the better for it.

9:33 pm

jesdraggon
