Yeah, did it again Jellen... hole in head.

1:12 am

rururocks

our babble savant

1:12 am

flosey

your list sure helped yesterday

1:12 am

negativeneil

Did you dheck for that new article link, ru?

1:12 am

Erda

WHEEEEEE -- Thank you, Neil!

1:13 am

negativeneil

Sorry if you said and I missed it.

1:13 am

jillibus

well, I can't think of the un7 -- obviously bedtime so goodnight all...*poof

1:13 am

VolleymomDee

totally agree and really appreciate your lists, neil!

1:13 am

vanillaslice

ty Neil you're a lifesaver

1:13 am

negativeneil

Well some didn't appreciate it, flosey!

1:13 am

Jellen

G'night, jilli

1:13 am

Erda

fiar

1:13 am

jillibus

and thanks again neil -- can't imagine anyone not appreciating your list

1:14 am

flosey

well fooey, Neil, why did they have to say anything at all

1:14 am

negativeneil

Ha, I saw someone when told it was in my profile saying "Who the heck is Neil? Neil Armstrong?" kind of sarcastically... then complaining they couldn't find my profile even though I left myself logged in all day when not here, just so it was easy to find. Duh?

1:14 am

VolleymomDee

neil, your list has the code in it <BR>

1:14 am

negativeneil

Don't ask me?

1:17 am

negativeneil

And then it got copied into other profiles, which is fine... but so it would be "easier to find without having to search"? Even though I did that? Uh, how is my profile harder to find that anyone else's when I'm logged in... weird?

1:17 am

negativeneil

Code, Dee? Huh?

1:17 am

VolleymomDee

nm....

1:17 am

negativeneil

What code?

1:18 am

jillibus

May I suggest thatall here put Neil in your "My Friends" so that you can access a list when he has one?

1:18 am

negativeneil

No, you said it had code in it? What did I fail to remove that I should have? Tell me please, so I can fix it?

1:19 am

jillibus

I didn't see any code

1:19 am

VolleymomDee

when I copied and pasted your list into word pad, <BR> showed up

1:19 am

VolleymomDee

jili, how and where do I do what you suggested?

1:19 am

dart001

all anyone has to do to find someone who has played recently is to go to the rankings page and look (or do a find) for that person and click on the name.....you can still find people like moonwoof, who hasn't played for at least 3 years now

1:20 am

VolleymomDee

ty dart

1:20 am

negativeneil

I was very careful to remove everything I should have?

1:20 am

dart001

as long as they are somewhere on that page...and all of us diehards are there

1:20 am

jillibus

Oh, I didn't copy and paste -- just resized the profile and put it over where Lickety's list goes in Expert.

1:20 am

rururocks

I miss moonwoof

1:21 am

negativeneil

Oh, maybe because you copied a blank line under it, Dee? <br> line-break code. You copied a line below the last line of the list, I guess?

1:21 am

flosey

I copy and paste so that I can tick them off as I find them

1:21 am

VolleymomDee

I don't remember moonwoof. Me, too, flosey.

1:21 am

rururocks

she was hysterically funny

1:21 am

MPittore

well golly!

1:22 am

flosey

I just remember the name

1:22 am

jillibus

Dee, you go to Who's Online, look for negativeneil, and click on Add to Friends. You can do that with sprite or me and keep tabs on the icon themes

1:22 am

VolleymomDee

you must be right, neil... I just did a "find and replace" and removed them.... no problem.

1:22 am

dart001

she was on all the time for a while volley...I'm sure you have seen her

1:22 am

licketySplitAUS

mrp here. will try and do solver.
sorry if it doesn't work, will let you know

1:22 am

rururocks

someday.. I won't be around and dart will say.. don't you remember ruru?

1:22 am

flosey

hi mrp

1:23 am

jillibus

hi mrp -- you're a love.

1:23 am

VolleymomDee

hi mrp good to see you. Have been thinking of you you all day.

1:23 am

dart001

that almost happened ruru... a few years back

1:23 am

dart001

hi mrp hugs

1:23 am

flosey

lol ru, we could never forget you

1:23 am

Jellen

Hi, mrp

1:24 am

negativeneil

Oh hi mrp... I replied to your email.

1:24 am

negativeneil

Hope you got my reply ok?

1:25 am

negativeneil

What almost happened a few years back, dart? ru not being around? No ruru... don't leave!

1:25 am

dart001

ruru almost gave it up for new year's resolution I think

1:26 am

VolleymomDee

I vaguely remember that conversation

1:26 am

dart001

lasted about a week

1:26 am

negativeneil

Oh no? Geez. You can't give up word games and puzzles like this... way too addictive.

1:26 am

negativeneil

Yep, I'm not surprised.

1:27 am

negativeneil

See what's behind me in this photo, dart?

1:28 am

dart001

can't really tell...bars and some kind of building

1:28 am

Jellen

Oh, poof, Neil! I've been there!

1:29 am

negativeneil

Ok, you'll know what building it is in the next photo... now refresh.

1:29 am

negativeneil

It was 2007... can you blame me?

1:29 am

dart001

DC?

1:30 am

negativeneil

Yes, of course.

1:30 am

Jellen

Although it was in the 70's...

1:31 am

negativeneil

I see, Jellen. I wasn't even thought of then.

1:31 am

dart001

was there in '82..and then again the year of the ok. city bombing

1:31 am

Jellen

Ouch!

1:31 am

vanillaslice

clue pls for fi7/40

1:31 am

negativeneil

Well I wasn't born until the end of 1984.

1:32 am

negativeneil

fi7,40 -- more aflame?

1:32 am

negativeneil

Or more on fi4,7.

1:33 am

negativeneil

Or more hot-headed.

1:33 am

negativeneil

You catch my drift...

1:34 am

negativeneil

I'd better change the photo back, lol.

1:35 am

vanillaslice

start from the bottom Neil?

1:36 am

Jellen

No, from the top F

1:37 am

vanillaslice

I have 7/44 from the top

1:38 am

negativeneil

Huh, vanillaslice?

1:38 am

Jellen

Hmmm...my fi 7/40 is from the top F

1:38 am

negativeneil

Oh, that... from the bottom F.

1:38 am

Jellen

Will need to look for the 7/44

1:38 am

negativeneil

No it isn't, Jellen.

1:39 am

Jellen

Oh. Very confused now.

1:40 am

negativeneil

There's only one fi7,40 and it starts from the bottom F. And I know my F's... you've seen how many times I use an F-word in my blogs, haha.

1:40 am

Jellen

haha

1:40 am

vanillaslice

lol thx Neil I'll keep lookin

1:41 am

negativeneil

Go left then right, then down and left.

1:41 am

negativeneil

Sorry! Go right then left and up, then down and left.

1:41 am

negativeneil

I'm way too tired for this. :P

1:42 am

negativeneil

[going to raid my brother's kitchen for a drink and snack, then hit the hay when that's done]

1:42 am

negativeneil

BRB!

1:42 am

rururocks

1:42 am

Jellen

1:48 am

flosey

1:49 am

vanillaslice

I am just lost with tis one. fi7/40 is the second fi and must come before the fi.. weather

1:50 am

vanillaslice

so it must start with fi vowel

1:50 am

VolleymomDee

van are you asking for the fi 7/40 after the fi 4/7??

1:50 am

Jellen

Yes, it does

1:51 am

vanillaslice

yes Dee the first fi is 4/7

1:52 am

VolleymomDee

the second one has a suffix... more of this boiling over (as in volcano)... or more angry or passionate

1:53 am

Jellen

(And it starts with the top F, honest!)

1:53 am

VolleymomDee

her passionate speech indicated she was fi 7 than John was about the protest

1:55 am

VolleymomDee

fireworks ty neil for your helpful list!

1:55 am

2:06 am

negativeneil

I'm back... just about falling over from exhaustion, but I'm back while I drink this tea and eat this snack.

2:07 am

negativeneil

fi7,ff -- gun

2:07 am

Jellen

What's for snacks, Neil?

2:07 am

negativeneil

fi7,44 even. :P

2:07 am

negativeneil

Geez. Told you I was tired?

2:07 am

negativeneil

Don't laugh. Just some toast with peanut butter.

2:08 am

flosey

yw Jellen

2:08 am

Jellen

I just had some trail mix and pineapple juice.

2:08 am

flosey

toast and pb is an old standby

2:09 am

negativeneil

It was something I could throw together fast.

2:09 am

negativeneil

I was too tired to do much else.

2:09 am

flosey

love pb cookies

2:10 am

negativeneil

I'm sure A has way better things I could snack on but trying to see anything in that crowded fridge is a chore... pulling things out and putting them back. No thanks!

2:11 am

negativeneil

Oh me too flosey... they're my favorite! Those and really good, big, soft and warm from the oven chocolate chip cookies. Yum!

2:11 am

Jellen

I need to clean my fridge out...it's too crowded for me...

2:12 am

negativeneil

Well there's only 2 of them here, plus me now as houseguest... but they do entertain a lot. People are always dropping over when they're home.

2:12 am

negativeneil

So the fridge is always FULL.

2:12 am

negativeneil

And Mom's here frequently too.

2:14 am

Jellen

At least they have turnover, because food is used. Mine is mainly old condiments and things I won't eat or drink.

2:15 am

flosey

you've made me hungry, having some lemon yogurt

2:15 am

negativeneil

Things you won't eat or drink? Uh, why would you have things you won't eat or drink in your fridge?

2:15 am

Jellen

Things left over from Tim...

2:15 am

negativeneil

Oh. :(

2:17 am

negativeneil

I found an extra letter in my clues list I have to remove, ugh.

2:17 am

Jellen

I've gone through and cleared out some, but it's hard...

2:18 am

negativeneil

Yeah, guess it would be. Probably better to get rid of that stuff though... it's just gonna remind you all the time.

2:19 am

negativeneil

Unless you would use it.

2:19 am

negativeneil

But it's probably not good after all this time.

2:19 am

Jellen

Yeah. You are right.

2:20 am

negativeneil

I had a few science experiments growing in jars in the back of my fridge after I got home from a few months in East Asia this past spring... ugh.

2:20 am

negativeneil

Rubber gloves, boiling hot water and bleach.

2:21 am

Jellen

haha

2:21 am

negativeneil

I think we're the only life on Babble... and being as tired as I'm am, I'm sure I'm only half-life at this point, if that.

2:22 am

dizgrannie

I am still here, just enjoying working from your list, thanx Neil...xxx

2:22 am

Jellen

Yes, I think you are right again. Think I'll listen to my audiobook a while. Stopped finding words at 2:09.

2:23 am

flosey

I'm still here, was just out to the kitchen

2:23 am

Jellen

Hi, diz

2:23 am

flosey

hello diz

2:23 am

dizgrannie

hey Jellen and Flos...xxx

2:26 am

dizgrannie

been here and there, just been talking to my Mum, trying to cheer her up, she's a bit down cos she broke her hip 7 weeks ago and is having trouble getting around - she's always been very active so she is very frustrated

2:27 am

Jellen

That would be so hard!

2:28 am

dizgrannie

it is, she's 84 and has always been a goer (on the move)...she's back home and slowly adjusting

2:29 am

flosey

very tired, must get to bed, goodnight all, bb in the morning

2:29 am

Jellen

G'night, flosey...

2:30 am

dizgrannie

2:30 am

2:30 am

2:31 am

dizgrannie

2:40 am

negativeneil

Just about, Jellen.

2:40 am

negativeneil

I was just responding to comments on G+.

2:41 am

negativeneil

Good night, Jellen. Soon as my tea's done I'll be joining you in slumberland somewhere.

2:41 am

negativeneil

Haha, oops. She was already gone.

2:46 am

negativeneil

yw dizgrannie... sorry about your mom, hope she's healing ok?

2:48 am

dizgrannie

thnx Neil, I get frustrated as well cos its a 3hr trip to get to see her, but we talk everyday on the phone

2:49 am

dizgrannie

3hrs each way

3:01 am

negativeneil

Wow. Yeah, it's a longer drive than that from where I've been living for the last several years to here [L.A.} where my brother and now Mom live... and about another hour and a half, give or take, from here to San Diego. It's tiring... that's part of the reason I'm moving. Just got a new apartment here and I'll have to drive home, give notice, pack up and move... fun, fun. Did I mention how much I HATE MOVING? lol

3:02 am

negativeneil

[sorry... my dad and stepmom are in San Diego]

3:10 am

negativeneil

Ok, bedtime for Bonzo. List in profile and I'll be in "Who's Online" until I leave here in the am.

hi diane

3:40 am

rubyfoo

3:41 am

Dianne

I think it just the tow of us.

3:41 am

Dianne

my fingers are not working right as you can see.

3:41 am

rubyfoo

at least, for once, I can concentrate on the grid. Usually, I gab too much

3:42 am

rubyfoo

yesterday, I was in the chog and wound up typing about a dozen words into it. I was so embarrassed!

3:42 am

Dianne

arise

3:43 am

Dianne

sorry

3:43 am

rubyfoo

that makes me feel better, so I'm not the only one.....hah

3:43 am

rubyfoo

and I didn't have that, so thank you

3:44 am

Dianne

I always forget to get right out of this chat box.

3:45 am

rubyfoo

me, too. There's evidently something called Expert which prevents that, but I am not savvy enough to install it

3:46 am

dizgrannie

Hi Ruby and Dianne, there is a list in negativeneils profile if you want it.

3:47 am

Dianne

I'm sure we both could install it. I think you have to ask likkety to send it to you. But I'm really not sure.

3:47 am

rubyfoo

hello grannie! sorry about your mum's hip and your long drive; hope she's healing well and less frustrated. I never list, just get as many words as I can.....

3:47 am

rubyfoo

somebody sent it, but I still couldn't install it.

3:48 am

Dianne

Hi grannie. Thanks for the list info. I working hard at this one and am down to needing 7 more.

3:48 am

rubyfoo

I only have 133 left! hahah

3:52 am

rubyfoo

time for DH's apero. See you later!

4:07 am

Dianne

searching and searching and finally - right in front of my face! One of the last 3 was sooo easy and it took so long for me to see it.

4:09 am

dizgrannie

**FIREWORDS** see ya all tomorrow

4:10 am

dizgrannie

Dianne, my last one was the last wo 7....silly me had the others...LL

4:12 am

Dianne

I guess you don't spend much time fretting. Mine

4:13 am

Dianne

to continue: was one of the getting out of bed ar/5.

4:14 am

dizgrannie

LOL the simple ones are always harder (well to me) to find

4:15 am

Dianne

sometimes I get stuck because isimply going in the wrong direction (that's life..).

4:17 am

dizgrannie

how long you been playing for?

4:18 am

Dianne

Not sure - 2006 I think. And you?

4:19 am

dizgrannie

4:20 am

Dianne

It's pretty addictiive.

4:22 am

Sally-catlover

Good morning everyone.

5:13 am

Norma

Morning Sally and babblers

5:52 am

boatierra

Thank you Neil for making the list and posting in your profile :)

5:53 am

sprite

good afternoon all

5:54 am

sprite

hiya Sally :) I sent you a message in postcrossing. I finally can!

5:54 am

Sally-catlover

Hallo sprite!!

5:54 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, I just read it and have replied.

5:54 am

sprite

oh great :) This is really gonna be fun. Am so happy you told me about it.

5:54 am

Sally-catlover

You have only sent 1 card? I rushed to send 5 at once!

5:56 am

sprite

I sent 5 straight away. One was to the netherlands, that is why it was so fast.

5:56 am

sprite

and I am sending one today, one arrived means I can send another, yay! And I am sending an extra. Happened upon a special card someone asked for, after I already sent another one.

5:56 am

Sally-catlover

Oh of course, I was forgetting, it only shows "sent" cards which have been received. I haven't opted to send to my own country yet.

5:57 am

sprite

I hope I will get you some day :D

5:57 am

Sally-catlover

It's such fun.

5:57 am

Sally-catlover

Oh that would be funny Sprite:-)

5:58 am

sprite

yes :)

5:58 am

Sally-catlover

You realise that all the lurkers are wondering what on earth we are talking about :-)

5:58 am

sprite

yeah... but if they really want to know, they can unlurk and ask ;) Or use google.

5:59 am

Sally-catlover

True.

6:00 am

sprite

the one card that arrived has been picked as favorite twice already, that is kind of fun.

6:01 am

Sally-catlover

Oh I must go and look at what you sent. brb

6:03 am

Sally-catlover

It's lovely! I have picked it as a favourite too :-)

6:04 am

Sally-catlover

I have sent some pictures of owls and lots of people have picked those as favourites, which surprises me.

6:04 am

sprite

I love owls. I really do.

6:05 am

sprite

oh cool :D

6:06 am

Sally-catlover

Just noticed I am just over half way, but it's taking ages.

6:06 am

sprite

not a smooth one?

6:08 am

Sally-catlover

A bit twisty. I'm out of practice.

6:08 am

wvteach

good morning all

6:11 am

Sally-catlover

Good morning wvteach

6:11 am

wvteach

hello sally

6:18 am

sprite

hi teach! Sorry, am half afk

6:19 am

wvteach

hello sprite

6:22 am

sprite

sorry. My son just came home, hugged me and I smelled he had been smoking.

6:22 am

Sally-catlover

Uh oh sprite!

6:23 am

sprite

had a bit of a confrontation and a pretty serious talk. I don't like it that he smokes, but that he is sneaky about it, that I HATE

6:23 am

Sally-catlover

They are always amazed that you can tell, aren't they.

6:24 am

sprite

lol yes. He went white as chalk, eyes staring, you could SEE the little cogs in his head turning to find a way out.

6:25 am

sprite

goes to show you can never tell what a teenager will do. Sheesh!

6:26 am

Sally-catlover

They do grow out of it :-)

6:26 am

car.eeyore

Good morning!

6:26 am

hi car.ee :)

6:27 am

wvteach

good morning car

6:27 am

car.eeyore

Hello Sprite! Hi WV!

6:27 am

sprite

oh I really hope so, Sally! My mother brain is going all haywire, thinking: if he doesn't tell me this, what else isn't he telling? Drugs? Unprotected sex? Crimes?

6:27 am

car.eeyore

Ooh! And Hi Sally!

6:28 am

Sally-catlover

Probably all those sprite, but not necessarily at the same time :-) And hi Car.

6:28 am

sprite

roflol Sally... thanks... I think :P

6:28 am

Sally-catlover

Main thing is to make sure he can talk to you.

6:29 am

sprite

yeah... just established that sentiment for the ughth time

6:31 am

car.eeyore

BRB...

6:35 am

sprite

he is really sorry. Really. Pretty shook up. I hope that will help. Just sent him to the stores to buy a bulk of chewing gum

6:39 am

car.eeyore

Whee! Got an 8!

6:40 am

sprite

wtg!

6:40 am

Sally-catlover

Just found the ea 7/48 (a compound) which I always think must be a made-up word and for once, looked it up. I never knew that. You learn something every day.

6:40 am

sprite

my only 8 is a W

6:41 am

car.eeyore

Yes! That is the one I found wo 8

6:41 am

sprite

6:41 am

7:11 am

car.eeyore

I know, I know....

7:12 am

Car, try not to waste any more of the day feeling bad about the crummy start. I am sure that you will make up for it as the day goes on.

7:12 am

car.eeyore

It is a half day for them and we have an outing with the Cub Scouts to the local Audubon Center today and then dinner with friends. I do hope they can enjoy the rest of the day.

7:12 am

yeah doesn't make you feel better, I know... We mothers so want to do it all right. But we can't, and if we could, our children would suffer!

7:12 am

Good morning, all! Not to beat the dead horse, but I am sort of terrible at grids without Licketys. It seems to kill my confidence. Is this a managable beast?

I have, but it's sort of a stumbly beginning. Only 21 so far. But that's better than 0! : )

7:21 am

Even thoguh I don't use the list until the end, knowing it's not available seems to deflate me, lol!

Further to Neil: I copy list into Excel as Unicode, do Data, text-to-columns fixed width markers at 3,4,5 check if there are any over 9 letters which will need manually altering, and then get rid of the comma columns. Then one can search for all the 4-letter words etc with ease.

7:25 am

sprite

hi Bea, hi Yvo

7:26 am

car.eeyore

Oh no Sprite! So sorry to hear.

7:26 am

Okay, not good. That means there is an internal link problem.

7:30 am

Hi Molly: and others who have just come on. Lickety definitely out of action for indeterminate length of time. However, NegativeNeil has given us a list for today. Let's hope he can go on helping those of us who cannot find the words staring us in the face.

7:31 am

How do we find NN's list?

7:31 am

grant, go to rankings, search (control + F) for negativeneil and open his profile

hi scouser. Yes, and if neil can't, somebody else will.

7:32 am

EvaNadine

hints for the right-most O?

7:32 am

Sally-catlover

He said he would stay on line, so quicker to go to Who's Online and find him there and click on his profile.

7:33 am

Sally-catlover

And if you then add him to your friends list, you can find him very quickly in future.

Ruby, we went 'paperless billing' about a year ago after our company decided to charge for paper. Plus side - no paper to lose!

8:03 am

Thanks for the fi7, Sprite.

8:03 am

yvw Uni, took me ages to find. I am so bad with compounds

8:03 am

rubyfoo

good idea, but husband doesn't want to give them the bank code....

8:04 am

wvteach

several compounds toay - i think more than usual

8:04 am

Uniquity

I can see the point there. Ours doesn't have any of our banking info, but we did have to make an online account with them so we can look at the 'ebill.'

8:05 am

Uniquity

Of course, occasionally their website has issues and then you can't see your bill at all which I find maddening. I love paper. : )

8:05 am

rubyfoo

it makes it harder because the Fr menu is spoken very fawt and I can't get a real person

8:05 am

sprite

yes I agree, teach

8:06 am

Sally-catlover

Can you not send them an email ruby?

8:06 am

Uniquity

Many compounds doesn't bode well for me. I'll have to pay attention to clues, as I am frequently blind to them as well.

8:08 am

rubyfoo

I finally got a person

8:21 am

rubyfoo

I have no 8's, no 9's, not much of anything. This has been a frustrating day so far, having spent more than 1 1/2 hrs on the stupid telephone

8:27 am

wvteach

8:27 am

hurshy

8:27 am

8:28 am

hurshy

8:28 am

wvteach

there are 2 fo 9 and 1 re 9

8:29 am

hurshy

8:29 am

wvteach

sorry thought she said she got the fo 9

8:29 am

hurshy

8:29 am

hurshy

8:32 am

rubyfoo

8:33 am

rubyfoo

hah, I added an e and got the 9. Thank you, ladies

8:33 am

Riverdance

change the last letter for another one ruby

8:33 am

rubyfoo

I had enough time, BTW, to argue with my husband about the hawk that is hanging around trying to eat the birds on the feeder. He wants to shoot her

8:33 am

rubyfoo

thank you, river

8:34 am

rubyfoo

she is incredibly beautiful and he is being a jerk

8:34 am

Riverdance

its nature....she is not disturbing your property so she should be left alone

8:35 am

rubyfoo

she landed in the tree in which the birds roost three times last evening but I don't think she was successful

8:35 am

rubyfoo

I also think she's not a very adroit hunter!

8:36 am

Riverdance

they usually look for small animals..

8:36 am

rubyfoo

she seems to like the green finches

8:36 am

o-o

Then the very adroits should be safe.

8:36 am

rubyfoo

the smacked one into the window the other day and after it flew away she sat on the window box, looking around

8:37 am

Riverdance

I have never seen the hawks at home go after birds...usually the chipmunks

8:37 am

rubyfoo

sally said she's a sparrowhawk (epervier d'europe)

8:37 am

rubyfoo

I guess she sees the birdfeeder as a hawk dinner plate

8:38 am

rubyfoo

she must live in the hills above the house (not sally, the hawk)

8:38 am

Riverdance

our feeders are put away now....got to watch out for bears....only the humming bird feeder is out but I think they will be leaving soon

8:38 am

rubyfoo

I'm sure she's the same one who came in the front door on another occasion when she missed her prey

8:39 am

Riverdance

yikes....in the house?

8:39 am

rubyfoo

bears? what kind of bears do you have? "little" brown ones?

8:39 am

rubyfoo

yes, I carried her out by the shoulders and she flew straight up, what a thrill it was!

8:40 am

Riverdance

I wouldnt say they were little but yes brown bears...we have lost many feeders to them over the years. Just saw one a couple weeks ago crossing my road.

8:40 am

Judi

Good morning, fellow planet dwellers.

8:40 am

Sandieangel

does anyone know if there is a list today. For some reason I don't seem to be able to connect to licketty.

8:40 am

Riverdance

they are foraging for food now getting ready for winter

8:40 am

Riverdance

NegativeNeil has one in his profile Sandie

8:41 am

Sandieangel

Thanks - any idea what's up with Licketty?

8:41 am

Riverdance

Lickety is out for a while I guess

8:41 am

rubyfoo

no bears here (they say they saw one about 100 years ago!) and few other visible animals although it is said, by the locals, that there are many wild boar, roe deer and chamois in the cliffs above us

8:41 am

o-o

List: http://www.playbabble.com/profile_mini
.php?id=54799

8:42 am

Riverdance

we have deer, moose and bear...no boar...what is chamois?

8:42 am

rubyfoo

some kind of mountain goat, I think, but they are very shy

8:42 am

Sandieangel

Thanks - found neil's list.

8:43 am

Riverdance

no mountain goats here....we do have coyotes and fisher cats

8:43 am

rubyfoo

a deer ate all my neighbor's roses, but she lives about 100 ft straight up from us, nestled against the cliffs

8:43 am

rubyfoo

100 ft*

8:43 am

Riverdance

the deer eat my hostas

8:43 am

rubyfoo

1000 ft! duh me

8:44 am

rubyfoo

we saw our first squirrel, if you can believe it, two days ago.

8:44 am

rubyfoo

no rabbits, either

8:44 am

Riverdance

we are loaded with squirrels....their chatter is quite load at times

8:44 am

rubyfoo

what's a fisher cat?

8:44 am

rubyfoo

which color squirrels?

8:45 am

Riverdance

nasty little creature....will attack and eat small animals...my big dogs keep them away from the house

8:45 am

Riverdance

we have both gray and red squirrels

8:45 am

rubyfoo

Ruby just stays in front of the house near the feeder, her form of dog TV

8:46 am

o-o

86 days; 16 hours; 14 minutes until Christmas

8:46 am

rubyfoo

she never chases anything away, even the local cats

8:46 am

Riverdance

my Tori stares at the stone walls waiting for chipmunks to come...has caught quite a few of them.

8:46 am

rubyfoo

hi BR, but who's counting?

8:46 am

Riverdance

thats a depressing thought BT

8:46 am

Riverdance

*BR sorry for the typo

8:50 am

rubyfoo

smiling, bichon, I'll have to put something bright on the lawn

8:51 am

bichon

so I did. Bad me

8:51 am

rubyfoo

please forgive her!!!

8:51 am

bichon

must be doing Google Earth incorrectly. It isn't real time. I was using street view

8:51 am

boatierra

Hey all :)

8:52 am

hurshy

i don't think it's supposed to be real time

8:52 am

rubyfoo

hi boat

8:52 am

o-o

forgiveness is part of the Christmas spirit

8:52 am

Judi

Google doesn't have real time.

8:52 am

bichon

I agree hurshy

8:52 am

Judi

ACK! Don't say Christmas. It's too early!

8:52 am

rubyfoo

there is a way of doing it where you sort of fly around the valley and see the cliffs and all

8:52 am

rubyfoo

hi judi

8:52 am

boatierra

hurshy, if you had not mentioned that bichon had written a word from the puzzle list in their post, I doubt anyone would've noticed. I certainly would not have. I'm not that word savvy.

8:53 am

boatierra

But thanks for the clue :)

8:53 am

rubyfoo

and she was right about my little street

8:53 am

Judi

Boat - your icon is hilarious.

8:53 am

bichon

that is a very funny idea, boat, but they don't show Jersey Shore here (am I lucky or what?)

No doubt ruby :)

8:55 am

Judi

The Governor of New Jersey just rescinded a permit waiver for Jersey Shore. Something about the show portraying NJ in a bad llight. Good for him.

8:55 am

boatierra

I've never watched an ounce of it, and its soooo pervasive in our culture right now, ugh. It's EVERYWHERE. You can't get away from it!

8:55 am

rubyfoo

it is hard to find stuff in English with French subtitles as husband is deaf, so "reads" the movies

8:56 am

EvaNadine

babblers -- i need some ideas!
coming up on my first anniversary, and i need an idea for a gift for hubby. i already have the cards, and i bought the cologne that he bought from disney when we were on our honeymoon.
since first anniversary is traditionally the "paper" anniversary, im trying to come up with a unique idea of a paper gift he would really like... id love to give him concert tickets, but i havent found any shows he would be interested in. my other idea is to have our wedding vows printed up and framed, but im wondering if i would like that more than he would...

8:56 am

boatierra

Good for Christie!! (Gov. of New Jersy)

8:56 am

rubyfoo

do you think he will actually become a presidential candidate? I feel very out of touch

8:56 am

Boobear

Hi Eva

8:57 am

rubyfoo

how about a paper list of "promises"

8:57 am

boatierra

No, I don't because I don't think he's intersted right now. I think he's interested in focusing on his state.

8:57 am

rubyfoo

or maybe a "coupon book" of promises: favorite meals, etc

8:57 am

Judi

Christie said the other day that he wasn't going to run (this time).

8:57 am

o-o

a divorce complaint uses paper

8:57 am

Judi

Eva - have you had a wedding picture framed yet?

8:57 am

boatierra

Eva - how about a paper sculpture? Just plug that phrase into a search engine and see what comes up.

8:58 am

EvaNadine

ooh, actually, i DID just find some concert tickets he might really like...
i will look into a paper sculpture too...

8:58 am

Judi

BR! You are not helpful!

8:58 am

Judi

Movie tickets, comedy club tickets.

8:59 am

what are the stats on the lone i and the lone r?

9:10 am

boatierra

I have a bumpersticker on the back of my truck that says 'Read a f***ing book'. I get more positive comments about it than any other.

9:11 am

Judi

Lone i is a flower.

9:11 am

bichon

boat, can you give me a link to that picture. I want to share it with my friend

9:12 am

boatierra

I "stole" or rather copied the link from someone else. I don't know where they got it from.

9:12 am

boatierra

Not link, sorry, picture.

9:12 am

bichon

okay

9:12 am

boatierra

Let me see if I can find it on Yahoo...BRB.

9:14 am

boatierra

You know what? I just plugged that entire phrase, 'A book commits suicide every time you watch Jersey Shore' into Yahoo images, and the pic shot right up.

9:14 am

bichon

, then to Picasa. It worked

9:15 am

boatierra

Excellent!

9:15 am

saved it to desktop

9:21 am

if i had the money, i would TOTALLY give it all to him in cold, hard cash.

is he an atique buff? does he like old things,coins,stamps etc?

9:22 am

boatierra

Morning Ibuxx :)

9:22 am

EvaNadine

not really.
he does like Frank Herbert books and Hunter S Thompson. i thought about trying to find a first-edition or an autographed copy of one of them, but the good ones are also out of my budget.

9:22 am

crosshair

cause if he does,old rail stock/bonds make a great gift,the common ones are not expensive and they are amazing works of art in themselves

9:23 am

crosshair

books are alway good if he is a book hound like most of us here

9:23 am

crosshair

sec eve let me check someting..

9:24 am

boatierra

Eva - Getting a copy of the newspaper from the day he was born and framing the front page.

9:24 am

EvaNadine

he likes toys and comics, but honestly, he really has WAY too much of both. and i just bought him some for his bday and will probably buy some for christmas too. so i want to avoid them for our anniversary...

9:24 am

gran

Down to last two - re 9/78 and in 4/4 clues please

9:24 am

boatierra

Go gran!

9:24 am

EvaNadine

boat, i thought about getting a newspaper from our wedding day. i think that might be the kind of gift *I* would appreciate more than him, though.

9:25 am

boatierra

Does he have a favorite album cover that is precious you could have framed? Something like that.

9:26 am

no actually i remember the 7th..got her that gold chain,was lucky it was in clearance cause it was the remainder of some lost set at the time i got it for 400 dollars..think has 4 ounces of gold in it and is now to0 valuable to wear lol

9:39 am

EvaNadine

i found a really cute idea where for your 1st anniversary, you take a photo of yourselves holding your wedding photo.
for the 2nd anniversary, you take a photo of yourselves holding the photo from your 1st anniversary.
each year, you take a photo of yourselves holding the photo from the year before...
i love that idea. :)

9:40 am

EvaNadine

crossy, i did come across that site. i was just a bit overwhelmed -- i dont know which books are his favorites, so unless i ask (and kinda ruin the gift) it would be a total shot in the dark...

it's a harsh consequence - does it take a month to get results of a diptheria test????

12:49 pm

crosshair

well we have a appt set up already for october 8th,mrs and i are getting physicals,maybe we can sneak the boy in for shots,pop over to health dept with recipt and stop this

12:49 pm

JBV

I presume that's what the delay is for - to make sure he will not infect the whole school

12:49 pm

crosshair

not sure at all jbv

12:49 pm

crosshair

not test...innoculations he is missing

12:50 pm

rubyfoo

I THOUGHT A dpt SHOT WAS GIVEN TO BABIES AND THAT WAS THAT....

12:50 pm

sammysmom

that seem punative cross

12:50 pm

rubyfoo

whoops, didn't mean to shout, but am angry on crossy's behalf!

12:50 pm

JBV

oh, I see, well I don't see cause I know nothing about how long it takes for an inoculation to take effect

12:50 pm

crosshair

no ruby,he has had many boosters over the years

12:50 pm

JBV

no they have to be regiven on a certain schedule, ruby

12:51 pm

rubyfoo

and I thought tetanus shots were on an as-needed basis

12:51 pm

crosshair

dammit...

12:51 pm

rubyfoo

I don't think my son ever had additional shots and he's 47!

12:52 pm

boatierra

Hey all :)

12:52 pm

hootowl

12:52 pm

JBV

by mistake? my goodness ruby, you certainly have had your stories to tell about that incident

12:52 pm

rubyfoo

me either, hooty

12:52 pm

JBV

that's horrendous

12:52 pm

boatierra

As far as I know, generally tetanus boosters are given once every 10 yrs.

12:53 pm

rubyfoo

if we had been in the US, that would have been a cause for another suit!

12:53 pm

hootowl

I did get whooping cough my junior year and they gaveme the multi-shoy. A little late I'd say.

12:53 pm

boatierra

Hey Jellen & ruby :)

12:53 pm

rubyfoo

and then, of course, he had rabies' shots....

12:53 pm

hootowl

Nevr mentioned , even for my son

12:54 pm

JBV

and how is all that healing ruby? does he have scars?

12:54 pm

wvteach

pertussis (whooping cough) has been a problem in US - found vaccine wasn't really strong enough to keep going until adults - now giving more

12:54 pm

rubyfoo

did they even have whooping cough shots when we were kids, hoot?

12:54 pm

JBV

no and i had whooping cough as a baby, I remember my mom telling me how bad it was - I was an infant

12:54 pm

hootowl

yeah but I guess it wore off

12:55 pm

rubyfoo

terrible scars and generally on a downhill trend. We'll know if he'll get damages (maybe) in October and they surely won't be much

12:55 pm

JBV

we also had measles, mumps and chicken pox (not the shots, the diseases ! ) :)

12:55 pm

JBV

oh, sorry to hear that ruby

12:56 pm

rubyfoo

I never had any of those diseases, even though my sister did and we shared a room

12:56 pm

hootowl

well it wasn't a bad case = whoop was gone in about a week. But doctor insisted on no swimming all summer. No reason.

12:56 pm

rubyfoo

and tomorrow he'll be 86!

12:56 pm

JBV

well, I'm sure you'll celebrate ruby and give thanks for it not being any worse than it was

12:56 pm

12:57 pm

hootowl

12:57 pm

rubyfoo

12:57 pm

hootowl

oh and hi

12:57 pm

rubyfoo

each of them was kept out of school for a year

12:57 pm

JBV

I remember classmates having St. Vitus dance in elementary school - such an exotic name - what do they call it nowadays - it must be different

12:57 pm

wvteach

my granddaughter had scarlet fever last spring

12:58 pm

rubyfoo

12:58 pm

hootowl

12:59 pm

rubyfoo

my mother had it after she came to the US as a baby

12:59 pm

wvteach

Not bad at all - the worry is that later developing rheumatic fever / heart problems - but antibiotics dealt with it quickly

12:59 pm

boatierra

Wow, that's so weird how hair does that.

12:59 pm

crosshair

crossy had an afro for a bit:)

12:59 pm

rubyfoo

1:00 pm

hootowl

An example of something so bad that will curl your hair

I'm back and I have the list in my profile

2:02 pm

Jeff7

clue for that un 7/8 pls

2:03 pm

MollyL

The plural of to gather together as one and the plural of those who do it

2:03 pm

Jeff7

thank you....was looking for the un prefix words

2:04 pm

MollyL

Those are un prefix words

2:04 pm

Jeff7

was looking for those meaning "not"

2:05 pm

Jeff7

love Calvin and Hobbes!

2:05 pm

MollyL

Sorry, I thought you asked for the 7/8 combo

2:08 pm

Flask1

clue for the other un7 please?

2:12 pm

MollyL

One un7 is the person who gathers together as one. The other is the plural of doing that.

2:12 pm

Flask1

anyone?

2:13 pm

dianedecoder

it's the one who "does" the other 7/44

2:13 pm

thankyou all.....

2:13 pm

dianedecoder

I jumped ahead of myself on that one too

2:19 pm

Jayde287

Don't think I said thank you for the list....Thank you!! It's a wonder how some people do without it!

2:22 pm

dianedecoder

I gathered my list from Flosey, who had it from Neil... everyone pitches in. I highlight it, paste it in my notepad and position it along the left of my playing grid..... SURE HELPS !!

2:23 pm

Jayde287

Yes it does!!

2:23 pm

dianedecoder

then I put an "x' beside the words as I get them

2:24 pm

Jayde287

I put the list into word and make 3 columns, then I shrink it down so I can see it next to the grid. Then I delete the ones I have. Works!

2:24 pm

dianedecoder

"hotdog" !!

2:25 pm

dianedecoder

with mustard and onions.... :-))

EvaNadine

peach: havent heard any official word, other than that lickety was at his dads house.

3:02 pm

Thanks EvaNadine. I'm so sorry that they are going through rough times now.

3:02 pm

MollyL

Without making it the topic of chat, I think there are personal issues going on between Mr. President and Lickety that they have to work out. The best we can do is send them good wishes.

3:02 pm

NANCY

Thanks, Molly.

3:15 pm

MollyL

No problem Peach. I know you are very good at sending out warm thoughts and I'm sure that both of them will feel what you're sending.

3:15 pm

Nef

YAY, LBD!!! WTG!!!

3:16 pm

gapeach

Indeed I will, Molly.

3:20 pm

NANCY

well, i am down to two left, first ar 6 and one of the ar 5-10s. I have a headache too.....

3:20 pm

Nef

And I agree, Molly. We just keep sending our rayers and support their way and hope that things will work out okay for them. I think many of us care for both of them; but what's going on is something they need to work out themselves. I think things got in chat that shouldn't have; just send love and support to them.

3:21 pm

MollyL

Well said Nef.

3:22 pm

gapeach

Nef, how are you holding up? How is Auntie? I've been "send" to both of you.

3:22 pm

gapeach

sending

3:23 pm

NANCY

can anyone please clue the first ar 6

3:24 pm

Nef

I'm holding up, peach and I appreciate the support. Aunty is doing very poorly and praying to die again. THis has been a tough week; she needs total care right now. Thank goodness for the oral morphine which helps her breathing

3:24 pm

gapeach

Don't jbiw uf this is the 1st or not: What we breathe, more of it.

3:26 pm

gapeach

Sorry, Nancy, have major sinus problems right now and allergies. Meant to say, I don't know if this is the first.....etc

3:28 pm

gapeach

Nef, if she is ready, then the Reiki prayers will make the transition easier. Maybe "hands on Reiki" will help too. Just keep your strength up. Bless you girl.

3:28 pm

NANCY

gap, I think that is an ai, I need to first ar word

3:29 pm

gapeach

Nancy, were you able to get the "a" you needed?

3:29 pm

3:37 pm

Glantarell

woo hoo nanacy

3:38 pm

Glantarell

Rhuddlan? Red castle on the banks of the river?

3:38 pm

stidmama

the one you showed us -- reconstructed at some point, but destroyed because it had been such a major pain for the British. Now it's more a victorian fantasy of what a medieval castle would have been

3:38 pm

stidmama

it had Goch in its name

3:38 pm

stidmama

I think

3:38 pm

stidmama

or Coch

3:39 pm

Glantarell

oh - doh - castell coch!

3:39 pm

Glantarell

Coch= Red

3:39 pm

stidmama

YEP! that one! LOL

3:39 pm

I was at Chepstow castle today - stunning

I have set up an education progra,mme there - 'preparing for her ladyship' - where the 8-11 year olds help a servant get the room ready for 'her ladyship' by setting the table,making the bed, laying out clean clothes, getting her hunting tbhings out

3:43 pm

stidmama

*grin* your server is currently overwhelmed...

3:43 pm

stidmama

what a great idea! I bet the kids really like that

3:43 pm

Glantarell

i jus got on - darn it

3:44 pm

Glantarell

the kids really enjoy it - what's sirprised me is how carefully 8 yr old boys lay her ladyshop's clothes out onto th ebed

3:44 pm

stidmama

it's okay, I'll look again in a little bit.

3:44 pm

Nef

all the Babblers of the world tried getting on at once. :-)

hello, gapeach, so nice to see you

3:49 pm

Mom

hi Stid and Molly

3:49 pm

Glantarell

Hi Mom

3:49 pm

stidmama

thanks glantarell, will look in a bit. Have it bookmarked.

3:50 pm

Mom

Hi Glantarell! I was telling my sweetie of your experience with your husband and how you have taken it upon yourself to do "therapy" he loved it. He said you were his kind of gal. :-)

3:50 pm

stidmama

sorry hear the horrible husband is still causing trouble

3:51 pm

Nef

Glan, both sites say the same thing: maintenance downtime or capacity problems. So it's very possible that it IS the Babblers of the World messing with them!

3:51 pm

Glantarell

The hideous hisband moved out yesterday ;-))

3:51 pm

Mom

really!, excellent news

3:51 pm

stidmama

woo-hoo!

3:52 pm

MollyL

Oh wow Glant, I am SO HAPPY for you!

3:52 pm

Nef

YAY, Glan! That is good news (for your sake!)

3:52 pm

Glantarell

Nef - I can still gt onto the Cadw website from here...

3:52 pm

MollyL

We need to have a Free At Last party for Glant.

3:53 pm

Glantarell

I am delighted he's gone - but I did actually go against all my principles and tuirn into an unreasonable screaming banshee to achieve iot

3:53 pm

Glantarell

he said I'd had a 'personality transplant \lol

3:54 pm

MollyL

To paraphrase Delores Claiborne...sometimes being a banshee is all a woman has to hold onto.

3:54 pm

Mom

after what he did, Glant, you had every cause to turn into a banshee

3:54 pm

Glantarell

i have been EVIL - and th evil will carry on for weeks but I've also been subtle so he'll never be sure LOL

3:55 pm

MollyL

Glant, the end DEFINITELY justified the means. *Pats Glant on the back*

3:55 pm

Glantarell

he brought another woman home the friday before last and I walked in on them (intentionally)

3:55 pm

Glantarell

I have used a 'seam ripper' to cut the threads form one button on every one of his shirts

3:55 pm

Glantarell

I have slit every other stitch up and down the back seam on every poair of his jeans

3:55 pm

Mom

I love it!

3:56 pm

uusue2

just reading back in the chat, gland, and see that your HH is gone - YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3:56 pm

uusue2

and good for you!!!!!

3:56 pm

Glantarell

I rubbed rosehips onto the inside of evey pair of underpants and some shirts

3:56 pm

Glantarell

(acts as itching powder)

3:56 pm

uusue2

oh, and hi, everyone!

3:56 pm

MollyL

Glant, nothing you have done could possibly be worse than what he has done to you.

3:57 pm

Mom

hi uusue

3:57 pm

Glantarell

I rubbed all the condom packets he'd left around with a cut chilli

3:57 pm

Glantarell

i just took small and irritating revenge

3:57 pm

Glantarell

but when he bought another womnan inbto my private bathroon, and used my towels, i saw red

3:58 pm

Glantarell

and he still didn;t leave

3:58 pm

Glantarell

so three days of me swearing at hom and tellinghim he was hideous seems to have done the tick

3:59 pm

Glantarell

and now he hs gone (wonderful) and I have been cleaning the house frantocally

3:59 pm

uusue2

love the chili!!!!! you are BAD, glant!!! :-)

3:59 pm

periwinkle

GOOD FOR YOU, Glant!!!

3:59 pm

periwinkle

I love the chilli too!!!

4:00 pm

uusue2

and hi, mom, your icon is creepy but I get that it is from your son's film

4:00 pm

MollyL

Beautiful Glant. Get rid of every trace of him. Perfect.

4:00 pm

Mom

not permitted to change the locks though?

4:00 pm

Glantarell

well, the revenge hs to suit the crime...

4:00 pm

Glantarell

not permitted to change the locks#

4:00 pm

Mom

it is creepy. He is a camera man for the film.

4:01 pm

Mom

are you permitted to possibly adding a lock?

4:01 pm

Glantarell

He goes to New Zealand for 6 months at the end of October - wonderful - but he has told me he won;t be paying anything toards the ortgage for the 6 months he'll be gone - not so good

4:01 pm

Mom

uusue, I am not a zombie person or a western person but what I have seen of the film it looks pretty good

4:02 pm

Glantarell

hmm, nev er thought of ADDING a lock - thans MOM!!

4:02 pm

stidmama

are you able to garnish wages/pension for times he does not meet his financial oblications

4:02 pm

Mom

you're welcome

4:02 pm

Glantarell

He has also aid he won;t move anyn of his stuff out

4:03 pm

Glantarell

No, stid - we own the property jointly, we have a joint debt on it

4:03 pm

Mom

then you should be able to charge him a storage fee

4:03 pm

Glantarell

at my choice, we have overpaid the mortgage for a few years - we have 7 months payments in credit

4:04 pm

stidmama

which means, if he doesn't help pay for the property mortgage, he is not meeting his obligations -- there should be a clause of some kind that gets activated if he does that, so ...

4:04 pm

stidmama

oh, I see.

4:04 pm

Mom

that might come in real handy now, Glant

4:04 pm

Glantarell

i am tying to work out whetehr ot it better for me to keep paying my share or to say i will not pay either

4:04 pm

stidmama

oh well.

4:05 pm

Mom

Glant, when you divorce will the property be sold?

4:05 pm

Glantarell

but i am so glad he is leaving the country for 6 k=months

4:05 pm

uusue2

maybe you could put his stuff outside?

4:05 pm

Glantarell

although he plans ot come back on my birthday -I'm sure he's planned thta

4:05 pm

Mom

if so then I would think you would be entitled to a greater percentage than he would since he isn't paying

4:05 pm

stidmama

under a tarp in the garage...

4:06 pm

stidmama

and what Mom just said

4:06 pm

Glantarell

the property is already on the market but the UK property market is at a standstill

4:06 pm

Glantarell

i plan to advise him tnhat anything he leaves behind i will consider to have been abandoned

4:06 pm

Glantarell

and therefore disposed of

4:07 pm

Glantarell

he can have the pittance the house clearnace person pays

4:07 pm

Mom

on these judge shows they have here on tv, if someone moves out and leaves their stuff, the other person can advise them that if the property isn't removed in xx number of days if will be discarded. If he leaves it they have been awarded judgements for storage fees

4:08 pm

stidmama

wouldn't it be great if it sold while he was gone, and he wasn't around to pull his things out...

4:08 pm

Glantarell

i have told hi that may happen - the problem is that he won't set up anythin g legal to sel in his absence

4:09 pm

Mom

then he would just have to get his butt back there

4:09 pm

Glantarell

he has said tht he#ll 'fly back form New Zealand' if it sells

4:09 pm

Glantarell

which is ridiiculous

4:09 pm

Mom

it would take some burden off of you if it would sell Glant.

4:09 pm

stidmama

he's not a very nice person, is he?

4:10 pm

Glantarell

i have asked him to set something up with a lawyer sp tnat we can sell quicklyif an offer is made

4:10 pm

Glantarell

he has the skin of a rhin

4:10 pm

Glantarell

i am not sure whther he does things on purpose, or whether he just doewn't think things through

4:10 pm

Glantarell

*rhino

Nef

Glant, I threatened DH (back when we 1st got married) that he'd never see me again if he ever hurt me physically or emotionally after hearing about a "friend" of his who was messing around. The second half of my threat was that he'd be sorry because I'd figure out how to make him pay for it for the rest of his life.

4:16 pm

Wolvie

fi 7/40 - more aflame - but switch the normal placement of the fi 4/7 that means flame

i have seen the chat... lot's to be said, i just wanted to say i am greiving. lickety went missing, there was no major argument, there was no issues between us... he fucked up, really and truly and instead of facing things, he 'ran away'. we have my MIL here, Lickety never made it to his Father's and continues to be missing

5:07 pm

Oh oh, I thought he went to visit his dad

happy babbling all

6:50 pm

Minveryork

I ar5/10 early to start babbling,but never got ne4/4 to fi4/7works. It is ra4/4 for me to finish big grids. I feel that a story of clues is needed since it is hard to babble with ea4/4 with such a huge grid and no list. I was in a shoe store last week on the lo5/18 east side of Manhattan when a male with a fi 7/44 came in and robbed it. This man was fi 4/8 about getting what he wanted.He made the ow5/18 of the store give him all the money that was in the register. He was a fo 4/7 and made an un6/33 decision to not we4/8 any mask which made it ea 6/18 to identify him.Could fo4/7tell that it wasn't going to end well for him.Anyway,after the robber left, all the witnesses had to give fo 4/8al statements giving in 4/7 about the events that took place. I le4/4ned on the news the robber was caught and arrested.He will not be rele5/10d any time soon, because he has prior arrests. This man ow4/8 people alot of money in legal fees. But I don't care about his financial wo 4/8. I ro5/10 the police for being wi 4/8 and catching him quickly. If I have to testify against him I'll sw5/18 to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Even though I know he is locked up,I can't era4/4 the scary event from my mind. Hubby is a wo 7/44 & wo7/44 every time I go anywhere alone now. Hubby is being an ar 4/4 and wants this computer to brow4/8 the internet.Can see the fr5/24 on his face as he waits for the computer.If I don't give it to him, he will hit the ro 4/7. Now I am going to be a ri 5/10 and ri4/4 out of this seat and go get a glass of wi4/8 and watch the movie "One Fi 4/7 Day". Be back later.

I think that fr5ier should be a word. This grid is making me fr5ier than I was an hour ago!

9:03 pm

stidmama

that is good news, Jill!

9:03 pm

hi, crossy

yaa for stidmama!!

you've had many a flag in your day, stid, and welcome to ours anyway ;)

ae8?

9:05 pm

Erda

Anybody heard from mrp? I think she obliterated the clues completely...

9:05 pm

stidmama

:-D

9:07 pm

JBV

hi stidmama! and hi everybody

9:07 pm

jillibus

erda, I'm glad she did -- it avoids confusion. She did say last night that she would try to supply the clues, but I guess she didn't succeed.

9:07 pm

JBV

Erda, mrp was here earlier = things are bad, she says Lickety is still not home, no other details

9:07 pm

Minveryork

Yes, r46.me babble clues comes up as a blank screen.

9:08 pm

Minveryork

Hello JBV!How are you doing?Welcome back to the log

9:08 pm

JBV

hi Min

9:09 pm

lil*monkey

Is something wrong with Lickety?

9:09 pm

lil*monkey

What did I miss?

9:09 pm

lynxxx

ae8 taking the 'shape' of air

9:10 pm

Minveryork

She said Lickety still isn't home and he never made it to his dad's house. She wanted to make it clear that he never got to his father's house and is still MIA.She has contacted the police I think. I hope that he is ok.

9:10 pm

lynxxx

Lickety is taking some time out

9:10 pm

lil*monkey

what?

9:10 pm

Uniquity

Lil*Monkey, he was missing, then there was a post that he was found, then today a correction saying he was never found. It's very complicated, and I think they all need time out of the limelight, as it were.

9:10 pm

Erda

Ah well -- I was thinking of abandoning this game, as we were faced with more and more utterly ridiculous and obstruse words. Maybe I'll do it now.

9:10 pm

lil*monkey

yikes

9:11 pm

stidmama

hey those who came in while I was on the phone.

9:11 pm

JBV

no, don't give up ERda - we can still have fun with Babble even without the clues

9:11 pm

Minveryork

I can't believe she would offer to do list when she has so much on her plate already. How so very kind of her

9:11 pm

JBV

hi stid -

9:11 pm

Erda

It takes too damn long to get to the end...

9:11 pm

stidmama

and there are lists and such.

9:11 pm

stidmama

(((JBV))) so glad to see you here this evening!

9:12 pm

JBV

hi stid - I think we've changed places.... are you teaching? I've become a student again!

9:12 pm

wildcat17

ty

9:12 pm

stidmama

LOL I am substitute teaching, and helping in friends' classrooms on days I don't get work. Why are you back in school?

9:12 pm

Uniquity

I really enjoy the satisfaction of completing the grid, but I've learned to enjoy just giving it my best. That's usually all I have time for anyway. : )

9:12 pm

JBV

I'm taking an Italian literature course at Rutgers - I go in two days a week - I'm loving it!

9:12 pm

Hi JBV et al.

Nel mezzo di cammin di nostra vita...

9:13 pm

stidmama

well, the friend I helped today has a 4th grade classroom, but want to write to my 7th grade friend and see if he can use me, too.

9:13 pm

JBV

hi neil,

9:13 pm

stidmama

hey neil

9:14 pm

stidmama

JBV, that sounds amazing!

9:14 pm

JBV

and hi erda - that will be my next challenge, not quite there yet :)

9:14 pm

negativeneil

hi stidmama.

9:14 pm

wildcat17

missing one ar5/10

9:14 pm

stidmama

in the middle of the road of our life?

9:14 pm

Erda

Stick around there JBV -- it's really worth it!

9:14 pm

jillibus

as I've said to many people, to me Babble is is much more than a word game

9:14 pm

JBV

it's from Dante, stid

9:15 pm

stidmama

It's the chog... the grid is just an excuse.

9:15 pm

stidmama

Yes, but it has been over 20 years since I read L'Inferno

9:15 pm

negativeneil

Which ones do you have? I'm guessing you need this one: ar5,10 -- ar + ***e and shine?

9:15 pm

Erda

Opening of Inferno.

9:15 pm

JBV

I really took the course as a way to improve my Italian, but I am also learning a lot - the content is quite challenging - we're reading and analyzing literature and cinema -

9:15 pm

wildcat17

good guess ty

9:15 pm

wildcat17

and the ea7 please

9:15 pm

negativeneil

I'm a pretty good guesser. yw

9:15 pm

stidmama

Right now, I can probably make it through childrens' books...

9:16 pm

negativeneil

List in profile if anyone needs it.

9:16 pm

stidmama

LITTLE childrens' books, that is!

9:16 pm

Uniquity

Okay. I'm stuck and off to bed. Ciao, bellas! : )

ea7 compound, yucky insect in your hearing organ

9:16 pm

Erda

Try subscribing to Italian TV -- it keeps the language in your ears...In the US, Dish TV has it.

9:16 pm

stidmama

yes, and cippolino, maybe -- with a dictionary

9:16 pm

lynxxx

bye Uni

9:17 pm

ty lynxxx

9:17 pm

wildcat17

forgot there was an E over there

9:17 pm

stidmama

I have an Italian channel on "speed dial" on my ipad, actually

9:17 pm

JBV

I watch RAI news, Erda - no subscription needed, half hour each night, and there's also a lot available on their website

9:18 pm

stidmama

yes! RAI is the one I have been watching sometimes

9:18 pm

Erda

Yes, but I have it 24/7

9:18 pm

negativeneil

Over where, wildcat17?

9:18 pm

jillibus

stid -- crop your picture square! Youre not that squished!

9:19 pm

negativeneil

Or send it to me and I'll unsquish it like I did to Jellen. She looks much better unsquished.

9:19 pm

jillibus

I have to go and warm up that deli supper...cul8r

9:19 pm

stidmama

LOL it is a square on my computer, not sure why it did that. I don't mind looking peculiar, though.

9:19 pm

Erda

Neil -- is that you in front of the War Memorial Opera House?

9:19 pm

negativeneil

I can still fix that if you want -- if not, cool.

9:19 pm

stidmama

(((Jill))) ciao, buon appetito!

9:20 pm

wildcat17

first fo7?

9:21 pm

negativeneil

It's me Erda, yes... but a war memorial in Washington DC, during my time as a WH intern post-grad.

9:21 pm

jillibus

Neil has a lot of pix of himself -- I don't!

9:22 pm

JBV

first fo 7 is a body part

9:22 pm

Erda

Ah -- thank you. The War Memorial Opera House is in San Francisco and I've been there A LOT...

9:22 pm

stidmama

okay, down to 61 and I am tired. It's been good to see you-all! *Poof*

9:22 pm

negativeneil

You don't have a lot of pix of me jilli? lol

9:22 pm

JBV

ciao, stid

9:22 pm

jillibus

I do have a recent passport pic, though, lol!

9:22 pm

negativeneil

Don't know why you'd want any? Dart boards?

9:22 pm

negativeneil

You have some photos of yourself on Flickr.

9:23 pm

jillibus

Bye, stid -- I still have 98 left...

9:23 pm

negativeneil

I've seen them... can't fool me.

9:24 pm

negativeneil

I know it is Erda, yes... I've been to San Fran quite a few times too. I'm from San Diego orignally and have lived in Santa Cruz for almost 8 years... moving to L.A. very soon though.

9:24 pm

jillibus

only a few, neil, and quite a while ago

9:24 pm

negativeneil

Uh, orignally even. Can't type.

9:24 pm

Erda

I've been thinking...if anyone can replace Lickety, it will probably be Neil...

9:25 pm

jillibus

and now for cabbage rolls and perogies...

9:25 pm

negativeneil

Mine are mostly silly photos... go figure. Many of them just too silly to post.

9:25 pm

lynxxx

yum Jilli

9:25 pm

negativeneil

I don't think anyone can ever replace anyone else. And I don't have his program... no clue how he does that page of his?

9:26 pm

Erda

I always thought computer gurus can just look at a program and figure out how it's programmed.

9:28 pm

wildcat17

ty

9:28 pm

wildcat17

fi7/40 please

9:29 pm

fi7.40 something with more flames

9:30 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye Erda! I will see you tomorrow in the chat log

9:31 pm

wildcat17

not getting the flame clue

9:31 pm

Minveryork

I did not get flame clue earlier either. Then I gave up.

9:31 pm

lynxxx

starts from top F - you are probably leaving out the second vowel

9:32 pm

wildcat17

I just got it. ty lynxxx

9:33 pm

wildcat17

omg done with the F's

9:34 pm

Minveryork

Fantabulous widlcat17!

9:34 pm

wildcat17

I agree!

9:35 pm

negativeneil

What word, Minveryork? And hi to you too.

9:35 pm

wildcat17

now I need the first in5

9:35 pm

negativeneil

Sorry for delays... doing too many things at once.

9:35 pm

wildcat17

9:35 pm

lynxxx

9:35 pm

Minveryork

Look at my reprimand and you will see what word Neil

Hi Sue!

9:46 pm

Minveryork

Hello uusue2! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

9:46 pm

uusue2

hi, lynxxx, neil, and min!

9:46 pm

negativeneil

I saw the "reprimand" Min... but if it's the only word I think it could be, it still doesn't make sense in that context?

9:47 pm

uusue2

I only have a few words and probably won't get many more, but I did get a bunch of work done today :-)

9:47 pm

negativeneil

Or "just doesn't make sense' I should've typed. I'm too tired again... long drive today.

9:47 pm

wildcat17

firewords

9:48 pm

Congrats, wildcat.

9:48 pm

wildcat17

ty this one was work

9:48 pm

lynxxx

Congrats Wild!

9:48 pm

negativeneil

Anyone still need a clue for the fi7,40?

9:48 pm

Minveryork

I am just kidding w/you anyway Neil.Nothing to take seriously. Why did you have such a long drive today?

9:48 pm

wildcat17

and goodnight to all

9:49 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations wildcat17 on fi4/7works! Good for U!

9:49 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye wildcat17! I will see you tomorrow in the log

9:49 pm

negativeneil

Because I had to return home from L.A. after hunting for and securing a new apartment there. Now I've given my notice and have the fun of packing... ugh. And arranging movers.

9:50 pm

negativeneil

I should mention that I really HATE moving.

9:51 pm

negativeneil

But I'm looking forward to it at the same time... I'll be much closer to my family and able to see some of them a lot and the others much more often than I have, over the last several years. That will be nice... and the new apartment's great. :)

9:52 pm

negativeneil

I'll post photos of it on Flickr when I get moved in and settled.

9:53 pm

Minveryork

I hate moving too. I have done it several times and it did not get any ea 6/18 each time I did it. Good luck!

9:53 pm

negativeneil

No. It never does, does it? Don't know about you but I just seem to accumulate more and more stuff over the years... despite trying to keep it to a minimum.

9:54 pm

negativeneil

But moving has a way of making you get rid of a lot of junk you don't need too... so that'll help clear out some of the clutter.

9:55 pm

Minveryork

Me too & what makes it worse is that I'm a pack rat, don't even attempt to keep things to a minumum Neil.

9:56 pm

Minveryork

During my last move,husband said I needed to get rid of like a whole wardrobe of clothes.Got rid of 5 things

10:01 pm

flosey

back for last few

10:03 pm

flosey

oh neil, I hope you don't mind, I put your clue list in my bio - giving you the credit of course, but just to make it easier for players to get when you're not here, ok?

10:04 pm

Minveryork

Did the same thing flosey. I always give credit where credit is due.Thank you Neil for posting the list today

10:05 pm

cybernan

stuck on the first few lo's -- have the 4/7 and a 5/10 then nothing until the 2nd 4/4

10:06 pm

Minveryork

lo5/18 is the opposite of upper and plural it cybernan

10:06 pm

herinfernallady

Hi.

10:07 pm

Minveryork

lo4/8 is l + to possess something. lo5/18 is l + ow 4/8.

10:07 pm

Minveryork

Hello herinfernallady!How are you? Welcome to puzzle

10:09 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Min and thank you for your welcome

10:09 pm

herinfernallady

Neil you moving?

10:09 pm

cybernan

ty min -- just need the lo 5.18 following makes not so high

10:10 pm

cybernan

got it :)

10:10 pm

negativeneil

Yes, herin.

10:11 pm

herinfernallady

We just down sized ourselves. It sucks

10:11 pm

negativeneil

Of course I don't mind, flosey... why would I? I wasn't online all day, so that was a good idea and would've made it easier for others to find.

10:11 pm

flosey

thanks Neil

10:12 pm

negativeneil

I was just puzzled the other day, that's all, because someone copied the list from my profile to theirs and someone else was telling everyone to look in that other person's profile... even though I had left myself online so mine could be easily found and that other person wasn't even online later. Weird?

10:12 pm

harpjane

fi7 help please?

10:12 pm

flosey

yes, I remember that, and understand

10:13 pm

negativeneil

Oh, I'm not moving for that reason... I'm reluctantly leaving beautiful Santa Cruz because my family and I want to be closer to each other, plus I'll get more work down there.

10:13 pm

negativeneil

fi7,40 -- "flamier" but also more of a temper? More hot-headed?

10:14 pm

negativeneil

I should've said "more aflame"... sorry. I kind of gave the word away saying it like I did in that clue.

10:14 pm

herinfernallady

Neil we moved a 5 bedroom into a 4 bedroom combining my 1 bedroom. Then moved into a 3 bedroom. We haven't moved but we now have most things that will fit into a 2 bedroom.

10:14 pm

Aloyisius

Hi all.. just logged in to try to finish after a busy day.. negneil, ty for posting.. I'm going to your list and am grateful for it !

10:14 pm

herinfernallady

It is nice to be near family

10:14 pm

negativeneil

You're very welcome, Aloyisius. :)

10:14 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Aloy

10:15 pm

negativeneil

Yeah, sure is herin. I've lived so far from them for the last nearly 8 years now... and really missed them. We get together when we can but with my being such a long drive from them all, it hasn't been as often as any of us would've liked.

10:15 pm

Aloyisius

hi herin! long time , no see.. hope all is well with you

10:15 pm

harpjane

i tried that this morning and can't get it, hm.

10:15 pm

negativeneil

And just call me Neil btw, Aloyisius.

10:15 pm

herinfernallady

Everything is great

10:15 pm

negativeneil

harpjane? I gave it away with that clue!

10:16 pm

Aloyisius

super duper, herin!

10:16 pm

herinfernallady

Neil we figured that if the landlord raises the rent we will have to move. Most 3 bedrooms are out of our price range these days.

10:16 pm

negativeneil

When I said "flamier"... which I shouldn't have. What's another word meaning "flame"? What burns hot and is comprised of flames?

10:16 pm

harpjane

i only get a six letter word, maybe it's just time to quit...

10:16 pm

Aloyisius

ok, Neil.. (-:

10:16 pm

negativeneil

There's only 2 of you, herin? You don't really need a 3 bedroom then. Or even a 2... but the extra room is helpful I know.

10:16 pm

carleekat

hi all

10:17 pm

herinfernallady

We chucked out a 4x4 meter skip with crap and still tossing out stuff.

10:17 pm

lynxxx

hi Harp, work from the top F and there is the second vowel which you are probably leaving out

10:17 pm

negativeneil

It's not easy to live in a 1 bedroom apartment when you're a couple, but my ex and I managed for a while... until I had to kick her out. But that's another matter I won't get into.

10:17 pm

harpjane

oh, there's a TOP f? lol that might help....

10:17 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Carlee and Lynxx

10:17 pm

negativeneil

Hi carleekat.

10:18 pm

harpjane

got it, 'twas a brain thing....

10:18 pm

herinfernallady

We have a 3 bedroom - one is my room one is the library and one is the master bedroom

10:18 pm

negativeneil

The fi7,40 is from the bottom F, harpjane.

10:18 pm

lynxxx

hi Infernal

10:18 pm

carleekat

hi herin.. hi lynxxx..

10:18 pm

negativeneil

And sorry, I should've mentioned that.

10:18 pm

negativeneil

Probably.

10:18 pm

lynxxx

hi Carlee

10:18 pm

harpjane

nope it's from the top one, neil

10:18 pm

carleekat

and hi neil

10:18 pm

Minveryork

Hello Aloysius!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid

10:18 pm

herinfernallady

We need the room for a library. We have wall to wall on both sides with books.

10:19 pm

negativeneil

Oh la de da... you're so spoiled to have a 3 bedroom! The apartment I'm moving into is only a 1 bedroom, but I could turn the dining room into another bedroom if I wanted to... which I probably won't. And at least it has a breakfast nook, which the one I'm moving out of doesn't. That will help!

10:19 pm

Minveryork

Hi harpjane! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

10:19 pm

negativeneil

But the whole place is more spacious, so I'm happy. And hardwood floors, which I love.

10:19 pm

Minveryork

Hello carleekat! How are you doing? Welcome to grid.

10:19 pm

Aloyisius

hi carlee, hi minver.. left to grab a glass of water

10:20 pm

carleekat

sounds lovely neil...

10:20 pm

carleekat

hi aloy and minver

10:20 pm

negativeneil

And I'll be paying exactly the same rent I have been, even though it's in L.A. and in a nice area. So that's not bad at all. Mind you, SC isn't cheap either.

10:20 pm

herinfernallady

What can I say we like room. We are both used to large houses. But there is some really lovely apartments out there that are 2 bedroom

10:20 pm

negativeneil

Yeah, I'm pretty thrilled. Mostly to be near my family again and in a place where I'll get more work without having to travel so much... it's been getting tiring.

10:21 pm

herinfernallady

O that is great. I have heard LA in parts can be pricey. I have a friend that lives in LA

10:21 pm

negativeneil

Yeah, herin. Don't we all? Can't blame you there... I'd like that too.

10:21 pm

Minveryork

I SOOOOO want to downsize.I have a three bedroom house and it is just me and hubby. Would like to have a condo/atownhouse. My friend downsized and loves it. We just cannot afford the mortgage on the house.

10:21 pm

herinfernallady

We don't have a yard though.

10:21 pm

negativeneil

It is kind of pricey but so is the place I'm leaving. At least it's within my budget because it's the same rent I've been paying.

10:22 pm

herinfernallady

Min I have been cleaning and downsizing everything since May.

10:22 pm

carleekat

i want to downsize in a couple years... move to an apartment..am renting a 3 br house... am sick of yard upkeep and snowshovelling...

10:22 pm

Minveryork

We also have a big backyard that takes a lot of work.

10:22 pm

negativeneil

Then you should, Minveryork. It's never a good idea to live beyond your means. I won't go any higher than what this place will cost me. I just can't at this stage of my life, when I'm my only source of income.

10:23 pm

negativeneil

Oh yeah, property is a lot of work!

10:23 pm

herinfernallady

My parents did the insane thing and moved across the seas to Tasmania. They love it there. They were so worried I would mind

10:23 pm

Minveryork

The housing market is so bad. Not a good time to sell.

10:23 pm

negativeneil

That's one major advantage to apartment living.

10:23 pm

negativeneil

Why is that insane if they love it there?

10:23 pm

herinfernallady

Min great time to buy though. Sadly that requires more money

10:23 pm

negativeneil

Oh yeah, I guess there is that to think about.

10:24 pm

carleekat

and its just me most of the time... i hate the idea of hauling groceries up and down an elevator...but i want to be in a decent 2 bedroom apartment...

10:24 pm

herinfernallady

It was insane as they had to move everything via sea boat

10:24 pm

negativeneil

Hey, better than up and down flights of stairs!

10:25 pm

Minveryork

Hubby & I rented for YEARS and did not want to keep throwing away our money.But if we sell the house it'll be a loss anyway.We'll be throwing away money again

10:25 pm

negativeneil

Pretty easy on an elevator. I've done that for enough years now.

10:25 pm

flosey

does anyone have a clue for ea7 please?

10:25 pm

uusue2

ok, I popped in a bit ago, popped back out again, and am going to bed even though I only have 60 words. So there. Night, all!

10:25 pm

carleekat

i will never be able to afford ownership its jsut a fact aht due to dxh i will be in debt until i die...i hope to be out of debt by time i die so my kids dont inheirit it

10:26 pm

herinfernallady

If we had the money and I had a job I would have a deposit for a place and one in mind at the moment. And only $150 more a month in repayments than we are already paying

10:26 pm

flosey

goodnight Sue

10:26 pm

herinfernallady

Goodbye uusue2! I will see you tomorrow in the chog.

But when you own your own home, your property taxes can be as much as some people pay for rent in apartments, depending where you live... shit, my brother's property taxes are more than some pay to rent a house each month! Mental. Mind you he's in a very upscale N. Hollywood suburb. And is a house ever really yours? So easy to lose it... scary.

10:27 pm

carleekat

<---- has catonassitus

10:27 pm

Minveryork

Well, unfortunately it is NOT the same thing he wants

10:27 pm

negativeneil

I'm not even sure I'll ever want to own a house at this point. But then I'm only 26 and single at this point... that might change in years to come.

10:28 pm

herinfernallady

That is why you need to figure it out together

10:28 pm

Minveryork

Anyway, I should not have said anything.I don't want to talk about. I get upset.I am off to bed. Goodnight!

10:28 pm

herinfernallady

Neil at 26 I had just got my own apartment and was getting my wings again.

Aww sorry, Min. :( Sure didn't mean to upset you?

10:30 pm

Ummm, you have a cat on your ass?

10:30 pm

[still trying to figure that out]

10:30 pm

carleekat

yes... i do... i am laying on sofa..on my stomach....on laptop and my cat is curled up on my ass

10:31 pm

herinfernallady

Awwww. How is that big puppy Carlee?

10:31 pm

negativeneil

Oh! Haha. And I was thinking huh? How is that even possible if someone's sitting at their computer?

10:31 pm

negativeneil

Well duh me.

10:32 pm

herinfernallady

Laptops are great for lounging

10:32 pm

carleekat

big puppy is such a sucky boy...( up to 80 pounds now)... i've missed him the last couple days... ( school and work so not home)

10:32 pm

negativeneil

Sure are. That's all I have... 2 of them. A PC laptop and a Mac notebook.

10:32 pm

herinfernallady

Wow Carlee. He has grown

10:32 pm

carleekat

i came home from schol just 1/2 hour ago and he crawled into my lap and nibbled the ear like usual

10:33 pm

negativeneil

Sounds delightfully goofy and playful.

10:33 pm

negativeneil

Oh congrats, flosey.

10:34 pm

carleekat

he is that neil... he's a gorgeous black german shepherd

10:34 pm

herinfernallady

I have been debating whether or not to do my test to see if I can get into Law

10:34 pm

carleekat

go for it herin if that is what you want

10:34 pm

negativeneil

They're great dogs, carlee. Have known a few and loved them. Grew up with 2 labs though... one after the other.

10:35 pm

herinfernallady

I have no idea what I want

10:35 pm

carleekat

( grew up with chihuahua's here... and have had cats for 20+ YEARS.... going back to a dog..and to a large dog has been..interesting...but he is sooo fun )

10:35 pm

negativeneil

My parents already had a Lab when I was born... she belonged to my dad before he met my mom. His parents got her for him when he was still a kid living at home and she was his... so he had to take her with him when he moved out.

10:36 pm

herinfernallady

I thought you had a lab Carlee. Don't know where I got that from

10:36 pm

negativeneil

She was very pale... almost white. I guess that's probably why someone didn't want her. She was adopted from the pound when she was a pup. Sad that she was surrendered.

10:36 pm

negativeneil

I guess her color just wasn't right. Stupid.

10:36 pm

negativeneil

She was the best dog.

10:37 pm

herinfernallady

We have so many staffies and amstaff's at the moment at the pound surrendered in light of tomorrows new slaughter law

10:38 pm

carleekat

its the ears herin... we taped his ears for a few weeks but they are sooo big they still wont stay up... but if u look at my pics there are a couple with his ears right up

10:39 pm

herinfernallady

Why bother trying to alter the ears

10:39 pm

carleekat

frig my brain is tired..and my body is..but i am still wired...

10:39 pm

carleekat

cus everyone thinks he is a lab but he is a shepherd

10:40 pm

carleekat

as soon as u see him with his ears up there is no question and i get tired of people stopping me on the street when i am walking him...oh..you have a lab...no..acutally he is a shepherd....

10:41 pm

carleekat

then they proceed to argue with me like i am a moron and dont know the differnece between a shepherd and a lab

10:41 pm

carleekat

and since his colouring is not typical of a shepherd.....

10:41 pm

herinfernallady

Carlee is he a black Shep?

10:43 pm

carleekat

*~*~*POMPOM TOSS*~*~*cyber

10:43 pm

carleekat

yes... he is a black shepherd..that is what i said

10:43 pm

herinfernallady

Not that uncommon colour. Love the look

10:44 pm

carleekat

but with flopped over ears...he looks like a lab

10:45 pm

herinfernallady

Awww

10:45 pm

herinfernallady

My friend has a Belguim Shep. She has been abused for starving her dog. Her dog is naturally thing

10:46 pm

carleekat

i just get tired of stupid people stopping me...oh..what a handsome lab...no..acutally he is a shepherd... and yes i understand that....when panz had his ears taped i couldnt take him for a walk...i was screamed at for cutting his ears....i didnt... we taped them...

10:47 pm

herinfernallady

I would never have thought that you would be cruel to him. Does he have bat ears now?

10:47 pm

carleekat

yeap... he does...

10:47 pm

herinfernallady

awww

10:48 pm

herinfernallady

Sorry at the moment my net is chocked I can't see more than one page

10:48 pm

carleekat

( and to go to a completely different topic... today..in all 3 of my classes including childrens literature...discussion came around to transubstantiation...HOw WEIRD is that????)

10:49 pm

herinfernallady

I need to look that up

10:50 pm

carleekat

( follows the eucharist when catholics believe that the bread and the wine actually become the body and the blood of christ )

10:50 pm

herinfernallady

I just found that out

10:52 pm

carleekat

now..i get it that we talked about it in my religious studies class as we are discussing christianity.... BUt... in phil of religion when we are discussing the socratic Natural law theory and contrasting it to the divine command theory.... and in childrens literature whilst talking about the little mermaid????

10:52 pm

herinfernallady

I like bable I learn things

10:52 pm

harpjane

were you discussing Tom Lehrer's The Vatican Rag?

10:53 pm

herinfernallady

Gigle Harp

10:53 pm

carleekat

no harp we werent

10:54 pm

herinfernallady

What the frog does the Little mermaid have to do with it?

10:55 pm

carleekat

the symbolism of the little mermaid being asked to kill the prince and let his blood spill over her legs the lead her back down to the sea is antieucharistic

10:55 pm

carleekat

or uneucharistic perhaps... either or

10:56 pm

harpjane

Is that a Hans Christian Andersen story?

10:56 pm

carleekat

but the blood will seal her legs to a fin tail again...yes harp it is

10:57 pm

harpjane

wow, i never knew that. I don't know if I read the story. I watched the movie years ago while I was recovering from surgery, don't remember much about it

10:58 pm

herinfernallady

Carlee I have not heard of that ending. Maybe I have heard the kids version which is she doesn't marry him she dies and becomes foam.

10:58 pm

carleekat

the disney version totally different....the mermaid is essentially a siren... and a souless creature and she desires to have a soul...the only way is to attain the love of a human...

10:59 pm

herinfernallady

I mean the actually book ending not the Disney verson

10:59 pm

carleekat

that the one herin..before she dies..she is asked by the sea witch ( through her grandmother and sisters ) to kill the prince... she refuses... and thus dies..then becomes an air angel or something or other..thus able to gain a soul after 300 years of good deeds

11:00 pm

herinfernallady

My fav stories as a child were the Red Shoes and the Tin Solder and I don't mean the PC version

11:01 pm

negativeneil

Back again. Got busy there doing stuff.

11:01 pm

herinfernallady

Carlee I should go look this up at the 2 books I have at the back.

11:02 pm

11:03 pm

negativeneil

Oh my G-d carlee. Just read what you said:

11:03 pm

negativeneil

"then they proceed to argue with me like i am a moron and dont know the differnece between a shepherd and a lab"

11:04 pm

negativeneil

A friend of ours had a tri-color Sheltie. You know the breed... Shetland Sheepdog? Some people argued with her and even got pretty abusive, because they had said "nice Border Collie" and she proceeded to tell them that's not what the dog was... and told them the breed. The dog was oversized for a Sheltie but geez, it's still not hard to see the difference.

11:05 pm

carleekat

yeap.....i should know what kind of dog i have... one would think..but..apparently i am just a dumb blocde

11:05 pm

negativeneil

Unless you really aren't familiar enough with either breed to know what they look like.

11:05 pm

carleekat

blonde*

11:05 pm

negativeneil

Yeah, no shit. Some people are just morons. I get plenty of those "attacking" me all the time via Twitter... it's amazing.

11:06 pm

herinfernallady

I love it with my friends Belguim shep. People abuse her for starving her dog when her dogs breed is more wippet shaped than shep shaped

11:06 pm

negativeneil

There's a big difference between a Lab and Shepherd. The shape/bone structure alone is very diffierent... enough that you should be able to tell even if the Shepherd's a pup with flopping ears.

11:07 pm

carleekat

ok..i just changed my icon to a younger pic of panz

11:07 pm

herinfernallady

Yep That is a sheppy face

11:07 pm

negativeneil

Belgian Sheepdog you mean, herin. Belgian Groenendael

11:08 pm

negativeneil

The solid black one.

11:08 pm

herinfernallady

Yes I did sorry. She has a shep coloured one

11:08 pm

negativeneil

Or maybe the Tervuren? That one's marked like a German Shepherd but has a longer coat.

11:08 pm

carleekat

the solid black dog is my dog..yes

11:08 pm

herinfernallady

No short coat

11:08 pm

negativeneil

Oh ok, that's the Malinois.

11:08 pm

carleekat

he's short coat

11:09 pm

negativeneil

But it's a Belgian Sheepdog.

11:09 pm

negativeneil

I'm talking about the dog herin's referring to, carlee.

11:09 pm

herinfernallady

No Shepherd

11:09 pm

negativeneil

Not yours. Yours is a German Shepherd. Different breed.

11:09 pm

negativeneil

You said "Belgian Shepherd" so I'd assumed you meant the "Belgian Sheepdog" breed... which resembles a German Shepherd?

11:10 pm

negativeneil

Oh hey, there is a "Belgian Shepherd" too. What do you know... also known as "Chien de Berger".

11:10 pm

negativeneil

Well I sit corrected!

11:11 pm

carleekat

anyway..bed time all

11:11 pm

negativeneil

Haha, which now I'm seeing is the same dog as the Belgian Sheepdog. Ok, I'm confused.

11:11 pm

herinfernallady

Loves Carlee

11:11 pm

negativeneil

Good night and sweet dreams Carlee.

11:12 pm

Aloyisius

sweet dreams, carlee

11:12 pm

herinfernallady

She is a belgian shepherd malinois. Great dog. hates kids as they tormented her

11:13 pm

herinfernallady

Neil she looks like this: http://tinyurl.com/6zh9wto

11:13 pm

negativeneil

Oh ok, yes. Know exactly which dog you mean now. They often don't get along with any strangers, not just kids.

11:14 pm

negativeneil

I know what they look like. I'm familiar with a lot of breeds.

11:15 pm

herinfernallady

She is a high drive dog. Needs lots of mental exercise and training. She is a great dog. Walked outside with a muzzle which is fun as I can pet her through the muzzle which freaks people out

11:15 pm

negativeneil

When we got our second Lab we all went to the obedience school with him... saw all kinds of dogs there of many different breeds. The Belgian Sheepdogs were common there, because they do very well in Obedience, Agility, etc.

11:15 pm

negativeneil

There were Groenendaels, Tervurens and Malinois there each week. Beautiful dogs!

11:15 pm

negativeneil

Yep. That's exactly what they're like.

11:16 pm

herinfernallady

She is at the best age now for police work. I love her to bits. But always with every dog respect her space

11:16 pm

negativeneil

Don't know why it would freak anyone out. She's your dog and has been raised by you so of course you can do that.

11:16 pm

herinfernallady

No she isn't my dog she is my friends but I have known her since she was a pup and she gets that I trust her and respect her space and her humans

11:17 pm

negativeneil

Or am I wrong? I'm kinda confused because I thought you only had cats, no dog?

11:17 pm

negativeneil

Oh, haha. Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

11:17 pm

negativeneil

Yes, if you've known her since she was a pup she's used to you by now.

11:17 pm

herinfernallady

I have cats. Not dogs. Can't with the cats and renting and no yard

11:17 pm

negativeneil

Oh yeah, you couldn't have a dog like that with no yard.

11:18 pm

herinfernallady

Yes but she is very protective of her humans. I am very good with dogs. I respect their space and their manerisms

11:19 pm

negativeneil

Those dogs are.

11:19 pm

herinfernallady

I think it applies to all dogs. The only times I have been bit is those stupid floor mop dogs

11:21 pm

negativeneil

Not really... some dogs aren't protective at all. Malinois are probably one of the most protective dogs. They're just naturally that way... don't even need to be taught that. Bouviers are the same way.

11:22 pm

herinfernallady

She has a Douge (French Mastiff) too.

11:22 pm

negativeneil

Dogue de Bordeaux, you mean.

11:23 pm

herinfernallady

Yep

11:23 pm

Nef

HI. I just thought I'd let you all know that Aunty passed away this evening with DH and myself at her side.

11:23 pm

herinfernallady

O Nef.

11:23 pm

joey

Nef, I am so sorry.

11:23 pm

Oh no, Nef! I'm so sorry. :(

11:24 pm

Aw, Nef.. hugs

11:24 pm

negativeneil

Oh my gosh. How sad for you both! For your family. So sorry to hear this news!

11:25 pm

negativeneil

Must be a shock for you. Thought she'd been doing a little better? Very sad. Hugs!

11:25 pm

herinfernallady

Hugs the NEf

11:25 pm

negativeneil

Hope she had an easy passage.

11:26 pm

Nef

Thanks. Everyone has been so supportive here that I thought I'd let you know. She had had a very rough week, but her last few hours were peaceful. Thank you all for caring.

11:27 pm

negativeneil

That's very sad and an awful loss. Losing a family member is always so hard.

11:27 pm

herinfernallady

Nef loves

11:27 pm

negativeneil

You really loved her to take care of her like you did. She'll take that with her.

11:28 pm

Nef

thanks. She's gone to a better place and there's no more suffering anymore.

11:30 pm

Aloyisius

I believe that too, Nef.. bless her heart.. checking out here.. bye, Babblers

11:30 pm

Nef

we did love her very much, neil. She was a special lady --but she never felt she was special

11:33 pm

herinfernallady

Nef big time hugs

11:33 pm

negativeneil

Aww. That's sad, Nef. We've just had a comment thread going on G+ about insecurities... everyone's been sharing theirs and getting feedback from the rest of us. It's sad how hard on ourselves most of us really are and how we don't see our self-worth like others do. It's so common.

11:34 pm

negativeneil

Bye and take care, Aloyisius.

11:34 pm

herinfernallady

I am going to go. Loves and blessings Nef

11:34 pm

11:36 pm

jesdraggon

evening all. just scanned back, sorry to hear about aunty, nef

11:36 pm

negativeneil

Hi jes!

11:36 pm

Nef

Aunty had a list of affirmations I'd taped to the side of her bedside table and told her to read every day. My friend sat with her yesterday when I had to pick up my dtr. (she'd sprained her ankle). My friend sat on the bed and Aunty was in her new LazyBoy chair and my friend said she read the affirmations and thought: "I wish she'd believe even ONE of them!"

11:37 pm

negativeneil

Aww. I wish she could have too.

11:37 pm

jesdraggon

that's sad, nef :( why was she so down on herself?

11:37 pm

jesdraggon

hey neil

11:37 pm

negativeneil

It's so sad she couldn't believe her own self-worth when all of you were affirming it.

11:40 pm

Nef

Aunty was the youngest of 5 fatherless girls raised in the Depression (her Dad died a month before she was born in a farm accident) She just never got over feeling poor and helpless I think. Anyway; sorry about such depressing news; I just wanted you all to know that it's over.

11:45 pm

negativeneil

Oh man. How sad, Nef. Must've been really hard for her mom to raise them all without him... especially during that time. No welfare in those days!

11:45 pm

negativeneil

So sad her own dad never got to see and know her.

11:46 pm

negativeneil

And don't apologize, Nef... all of life isn't happy and we have to take the bad with the good. You were right to let everyone know.

11:47 pm

11:49 pm

11:51 pm

sorry, sick humor tonight (I helped "pack the bag" tonight. It was a nice closure

11:52 pm

Nef

And I'm serious; but that sounds like I meant it as a joke

11:53 pm

rururocks

not a problem.. I have a very sicko sense of humor

11:53 pm

rururocks

you are the doer in your family Nef.. I can tell

11:53 pm

rururocks

I am the doer also

11:55 pm

negativeneil

Aww ruru. Isn't one negative enough?

11:56 pm

negativeneil

Oh btw ruru... in a post A made on G+ the other day, I left a comment that would crack you up, I think. Wish there was a way to show it to you... I did take a screenshot of it just in case we figure something out. I could send it if I knew how?

11:56 pm

Nef

Yes, ruru; I am the doer in the family.

11:57 pm

negativeneil

It's the kind of comment that you'd be best advised not to be drinking any beverage while reading.

11:57 pm

rururocks

I can send you an email neil.. I'll do it right now.

11:57 pm

Yes, Nef, it's pretty easy to tell.
