Thank God, jilli, I thought I was the only one.
1:37 am
boatierra
If you take the definition, you can look up the word - mu 5/20, 6/33 - a Muslim jurist expert in the religious law.
1:38 am
rururocks
oh m9 .. you are milking it for all it is worth
1:38 am
m9f9l
mu just got shot with a ****r!! szszsott!
1:39 am

1:51 am
rururocks
hey again..
1:51 am
negativeneil
Whaaat? Jilli shot a Muslim? Wow. Babble gets exciting when my attention is diverted elsewhere! Ha.
1:51 am
joey
I thought that you were going to read?
1:51 am
rururocks
I can't wait to use that f word you taught me neil
1:52 am
negativeneil
I taught you, ru? I have serious doubts of that somehow, bud. ;)
1:52 am
m9f9l
he was doing a booktease..
1:52 am
rururocks
no.. no.. that was a new one to me neil.. honest
1:52 am
negativeneil
Hey, that F-word is even in my profile.
1:52 am
negativeneil
More than once.
1:52 am
negativeneil
Yeah yeah, sure sure.
1:53 am
negativeneil
It's a great word though. So versatile... so many meanings, if you think about it.
1:53 am
rururocks
jeez.. I just got out of church.. one step at a time okay?
1:53 am
boatierra
Hey neil, your profile is all filled out again. So things are back to normal?
1:54 am
negativeneil
Things were always normal... or abnormally normal?
1:54 am
negativeneil
Church? *snorts tea*
1:54 am
rururocks
it's the foodie church
1:54 am
negativeneil
Uh huh.
1:54 am
boatierra
That good :)
1:54 am
rururocks
the church of Platter Day saints
1:54 am
mrpresident
who is normal?? no normal people allowed
1:54 am

Yep. And I go to shul each week too.

1:56 am
mrpresident

1:56 am
m9f9l
where your golden rule is to dish it out to others as they dish it out to you??
1:57 am
jillibus
oh great, mrp!
1:57 am
joey
I am glad for you. I know that you are going and have gone through hell and back. Your life could be a great TV movie. It would probably be a tearjerker, and it would have a happy ending
1:58 am
jillibus
have you found a new place, mrp?
1:58 am
gapeach
Well, I sure am sorry I asked for the da**** clue. But Ruru had a good run with it. LOL I'll be back later.
1:58 am
boatierra
Good question...mrp are you keeping a journal?
1:58 am
gapeach
Thanks for all the clues.

Good night jilli.

mrpresident
nite ruru ((hugs))
2:03 am
rururocks
Oh.. if you could read my book mr p.. you'd really think differently
2:04 am
mrpresident
neil, saw your email... yikes and yes. I will reply to you when my husband leaves to go back to the facility later on. I am on here avoiding things of course, but I think I can do that for a little while...
2:04 am
boatierra
G'night jili :)
2:04 am
negativeneil
Oh, ok mrp. I just read back in the chog and was surprised to see he's there?
2:04 am
negativeneil
How's that been going?
2:04 am
mrpresident
ruru, I am just impressed with what a great guy you are... I would read your book anytime
2:05 am
negativeneil
I plan to write a book one of these days.
2:05 am
mrpresident
I asked him to come home to try and talk to Maddison, our daughter, but she has bolted... so I sent her friend out to find her... this is going to be tough
2:05 am
negativeneil
You've written one, ruru?
2:05 am
rururocks
you'd write a f-ing good one neil
2:05 am
rururocks
don't push her mr p.. it will take time
2:05 am
negativeneil
Haha! How did you guess it would be peppered with expletives, ru?
2:06 am
mrpresident
neil, in a way, many of us babblers have written a book, on the chog! LOL
2:06 am
negativeneil
I'm sure, mrp!
2:06 am
rururocks
I'm a f-ing savant
2:06 am
negativeneil
Aww. Why do you think she bolted, mrp?
2:06 am
negativeneil
Yep. I think so, ru.
2:06 am
boatierra
I would love to write a book, if I had the discipline and talent.
2:07 am
mrpresident
indeed ruuster... he isn't moving in anyway to hurt the situation.... he is actually up in her room cleaning it! LOL
2:07 am
rururocks
me too.. I have a lot to say
2:07 am
negativeneil
It's good of him to want to help like that, mrp.
2:07 am
rururocks
that's good mr p.. there needs to be a lot of healing first... Madison will come around..
2:08 am
boatierra
Madison...what a great name :)
2:08 am
mrpresident
well, her demands are clear, he has to prove he is willing to do anything to help the family... and he is starting with her.
2:08 am
mrpresident
thanks boati, we like the name, picked it out before she was even a twinkle in the eye!
2:09 am
rururocks
he has to help himself first
2:09 am
negativeneil
Oh, I see... wow.
2:09 am
negativeneil
Yes, that's most important. He can't really help anyone else until he does that.
2:09 am
mrpresident
oh ruru, I know, but I don't know how to move forward with that one right now... I want him to do stuff for himself and be himself again
2:10 am
mrpresident
cleaning up his daughter's room is not really the priority, but it is making him feel good about himself... he WANTS to do it... wasn't asked to.
2:10 am
rururocks
his mother could use counseling so that she doesn't become a bigger codependent than she already is and make things worse
2:11 am
boatierra
Madison has been a very popular girls name over here ever since 'Splash' was released :)
2:11 am
boatierra
That's great that he's making efforts, making strides, both for himself and for the family.
2:11 am
mrpresident
I think that shows good changes are coming. Cause we were all darn tired of the 'argument'... nothing got done without a fight and we see now why.
2:12 am
negativeneil
Oh yeah, mrp?
2:12 am
negativeneil
That's progress then. Big progress.
2:12 am
rururocks
yes...I hope that's true
2:12 am
mrpresident
ruru, she wouldn't get help if I dragged her to a counsellor, she has to want to see the issue for what it is and stop placing blame everywhere else.
2:13 am
negativeneil
Positive changes start with recognizing what was going wrong... and admitting it.
2:13 am
negativeneil
Oh man. So many people do that, mrp. Can't accept fact and will do anything not to see it.
2:13 am
mrpresident
Maddison was also a president's name, and 'splash' was a great movie, and it was not used here at all.
2:14 am
negativeneil
Encountered some of that earlier.
2:14 am
rururocks
If someone from the facility could get through to her that she is adding to the struggle .. and she needs help to be able to help him.. that'd be the best
2:14 am
negativeneil
I agree, ruru.
2:14 am
negativeneil
She's probably only hear and believe it from someone professional.
2:14 am
mrpresident
neil, I get told what a 'good girl' I am when I say I am moving forward with him... but if I say something negative, I cop it bad
2:14 am
rururocks
thank god you didn't call her millard mr p
2:15 am
negativeneil
Ugh, mrp. Ok, there's still a looong way to go then.
2:15 am
mrpresident
what the heck is a milard? some type of retarded duck??
2:15 am
rururocks
you... need to take care of yourself and your kids mr p.. that's the bottom line..
2:15 am
negativeneil
Haha!
2:16 am
mrpresident
ruru, believe me, that is exactly what I am doing... i have seen what I need to do
2:16 am
rururocks
excellent
2:16 am
boatierra
Can I get a clue for the be 5/20 please?
2:16 am
negativeneil
I hate that all this is happening, mrp. It's not like you don't have enough stress and struggles already, geez.
2:16 am
o-o
Maddison, I expect, is dealing with a sense of abandonment.
2:16 am
rururocks
thankfully you have great friends that are true friends.. to support you since the rest of the family can be weird in this
2:17 am
negativeneil
be + tailor-made clothes are a good ***.
2:17 am
rururocks

2:17 am
boatierra
Ah, thanks :)
2:18 am
rururocks
it's too big a picture for her right now BR.. she couldn't understand it now
2:19 am
rururocks
Madison that is..
2:19 am
boatierra
I was only looking at the e to the left of the b. No wonder I couldn't see it.
2:19 am
negativeneil
Oh, sent you that other email btw, mrp... you should have it by now.
2:19 am
negativeneil
You're welcome, boat. :)
2:20 am
boatierra
Clue for the last em 4/8 por favor?
2:21 am
rururocks
ostrich like creature boat
2:21 am
mrpresident
Maddison is feeling completely abandoned, but more so for me... she sees it from everyone else's perspective and can't understand how WE were left in this lurch... that is her thinking
2:21 am
negativeneil
mrp? I sent you another email.
2:21 am
rururocks
or e + three consonants .. a babblet
2:21 am
mrpresident
ok, will go check neil
2:22 am
rururocks
she has you mr p.. that is just as important
2:22 am
negativeneil
And yes, I'm sure she is in that respect... but you've all been abandoned, for the time being.
2:22 am
mrpresident
ok neil, thanks so much.
2:23 am
negativeneil
You're welcome, mrp.
2:23 am
boatierra
I have the em 4/5 and the em 4/6.
2:23 am
mrpresident
she has me and her brother ruuster, and that is all she wants for now. i will make sure we are fine and with that will come some clarity for her.
2:24 am
negativeneil
em4,8 boat.
2:24 am
negativeneil
em + 2 more consonants.
2:24 am
boatierra
That's the one I'm looking for. I need a clue for it.
2:24 am
o-o
Add grieving to a sense of abandonment and her feelings are in complete disarray. Maddison, despite blaming others, is likely very angry and wondering if she somehow is responsible for what her father is dealing with.
2:24 am
negativeneil
And it's a "plural" word.
2:25 am
boatierra
Ah, got it! Thanks neil :)
2:25 am
boatierra
Dictionary.com doesn't have it as a word. So I wonder what it is.
2:26 am
rururocks
it always looks like a swear word to me boat
2:26 am
mrpresident
i gotta go... bbs friends

Ah, thanks BabbleRabble :)
2:27 am
boatierra
G'night and Good luck mrp :)
2:31 am
o-o
boatierra, are any of the babblers you started with still around?
2:31 am
boatierra
Sprite I can recall.
2:32 am
boatierra
The gal the introduced me, I don't think she plays anymore.
2:33 am
boatierra
BR, your profile pic is a hoot!
2:34 am
boatierra
But I don't notice any other players from when I started. At least not in the chog.
2:35 am
o-o
runningforhome; cz; parsec
2:36 am
boatierra
Oh parsec, that rings a bell.
2:39 am
boatierra
I'm sure there are others that I'm totally forgetting. When I look at the rankings I see/recognize a lot of names that I don't see here on the chog anymore.
2:40 am
o-o
periwinkle ... lawyer-1
2:44 am
boatierra
I was thinking periwinkle and marigold, the two top points holders.
2:47 am
mrpresident
i luv peri!! she is one of the first babblers I met, she is a rock and just the sweetest person
2:47 am
boatierra
But I do see peri on here frequently just not marigold.
2:47 am
mrpresident
marigold hasn't chatted in forever!
2:48 am
mrpresident
sprite is around boati, but later on, in about 4 hours or so
2:48 am
boatierra
Oh ya. BR was just asking who I could remember.
2:49 am
mrpresident
I miss greywoulf... I really really miss him
2:49 am
boatierra
Ya, I wish my friends still played. It'd be nice.
2:50 am
mrpresident
and franmag... luv her, but she doesn't chat anymore :(, I do see her on other games I play on my iphone and we get to chat then. :)
2:50 am
boatierra
She went under the name Tolinya, it was her WoW character.
2:50 am
boatierra
OMG, franmag, I remember that name.
2:51 am
mrpresident
and then we had that interesting moment when a babbler that we all thought was 'family', interestingly introduced a 'japanese boy' to us... he had a terrible illness???
2:51 am
mrpresident
and that went very pearshaped when the japanese boy started using her account name whilst they were online together... many people fled then
2:52 am
boatierra
Sound like they were using the chog for something other than Babble?
2:52 am
mrpresident
some thought it was a massive insult, felt they had been taken by someone asking for help... when this babbler was allegedly on two accounts, being two different people
2:53 am
mrpresident
indeed boati, but this was a babbler we all knew for a long time! She disappeared after that... couldn't come back to face it.
2:54 am
mrpresident
it was sad really, cause we all became super wary... we were a tight family
2:54 am
mrpresident
and then arguments started, it was disappointing.
2:56 am
mrpresident
however, as we all said, you don't know who is on the internet, who is on the otherside of the chat... we can only trust and find out who they are gradually... I opened myself up to FB for babblers, and they have seen video of me, my family, my pics, my life was opened up to them... but then there are those that don't do that, and that is also fine...
sometimes you have to go with your gut feeling IMHO
2:57 am
boatierra
I agrees. I totally missed all of that. I chose not play for a long time because I didn't like the way the whole penalty box thing was being dealt out. People were being very persnickety/mean with it. So I left for a loooooong time. Kinda glad I missed all it. I much prefer Babble to be funny and the player to be helpful and funny :)
3:00 am
boatierra
Jeez, my typing is atrocious.
3:00 am
o-o
Many things have changed even in the time I have been here. I do not stay around much since I have a talent for getting trouble. I think the people here now are less considerate than when I started .... but no matter ... I just leave.
3:01 am
boatierra
Ya, if I feel things are getting icky, I just leave. That's the best thing.
3:08 am
negativeneil
Hi again mrp. :) I haven't seen anyone being persnickety/mean about the PB, boat... it's a joke getting sent there. I sent myself there when I accidentally type a grid word in the chat box. I think maybe you're taking it that way when nobody intends it seriously? I doubt anyone would have tried to be mean about it.
3:09 am
negativeneil
Uh, "send" myself there even. Too tired.
3:09 am
mrpresident
i did have a time where i left... but i have learnt to avoid certain people... and happily send myself to the PB just to P*** some of them off... who is anyone to say how we play the game??
3:10 am
boatierra
Oh this was several years ago. Not talking about recently. Nobody has been that was about recently thankfully.
3:10 am
boatierra
*way about it recently thankfully
3:10 am
mrpresident
neil!! I did it, on purpose a few years back, just to show what a friggin joke it was!! LOL
3:10 am
negativeneil
Oh I send myself there when I accidentally type a grid word in here, mrp... besides it's not bad in there. There's all kinds of goodies to be had!
3:10 am
negativeneil
Oh, ok.
3:10 am
mrpresident
and yes, I got crap, but so what! no one tells me how to play and they can FO otherwise
3:11 am
negativeneil
Oh there are some who seem to live for dishing out crap to others on here mrp. Even others who have never said a word to them yet... figure that one out? Must be pretty unhappy people to do that. I kinda pity them.
3:12 am
mrpresident
don't worry about anyone neil... just enjoy your game the way you want to.
3:13 am
mrpresident
boati, I don't know if you were around when the whole bullshite about 'no clues at all in the first hour after flip' came out... I hit the roof with that one!!
3:13 am
mrpresident
For goodness sake flip happens here at like, 4-5pm.... and I only have so much time to babble before life gets in the way!! LOL
3:14 am
boatierra
No, I was not. Jeez, what a load of crap. If you don't want to see the clues then turn the chog off. It's not that hard.
3:15 am
negativeneil
I don't, mrp... much as some may want me to. lol
3:15 am
negativeneil
And you have email btw.
3:16 am
negativeneil
Yeah, boat... that's nuts. It's so easy not to see the stats if you don't want to. What, do they have no self-control?
3:16 am
boatierra
Hey, how's the new place?
3:17 am
negativeneil
Oh, getting there.
3:17 am
boatierra
Are you still in the process of moving?
3:18 am
mrpresident
sorry, phone... bbs
3:21 am
negativeneil
It's clean and more or less organized anyway. But they started working on the roof early yesterday morning, would you believe? Seriously. On a SUNDAY. "Bang, bang, bang!" at 8am sharp. Ugh. All day today too... so I went downtown for the afternoon.
3:21 am
negativeneil
Aside from a couple pieces of furniture I have to collect and keys I have to drop off sometime this month, no. I'm moved in already.
3:22 am
boatierra
Sweet! (except for the Sunday roof noise, grr)
3:24 am
boatierra
Can I get a clue for the first st 6/18 please?
3:25 am
negativeneil
st + v**** are what you put flowers in.
3:26 am
boatierra
Oops, haven't done that in a looooong time!!
3:26 am
boatierra
Now that's one for the PB :)
3:27 am
mrpresident
boati, to the PB with you!!! **throws TimTams at boati on her way the the pb**
3:27 am
boatierra
TY Neil :)
3:27 am
negativeneil
yw boat! :)
3:28 am
negativeneil
Uh oh... the dreaded PB! At least there are TimTams there though... whatever the heck those are? I'm assuming they're delicious though? :)
3:28 am
boatierra
They're like chocolate dipped bread sticks?
3:29 am
boatierra
Or are those Yan-Yam?
3:29 am
negativeneil
Oh are they?
3:30 am
mrpresident
no no no.... heavenly biscuit with magical properties! chocolate heaven really
3:30 am
mrpresident
Sending TimTams to my USA friends is just one of the services I offer :)

3:33 am
mrpresident

3:34 am
boatierra
I bet you could get them at Cost Plus World Market or a similar store.
3:34 am
mrpresident
omg, I have to send you the youtube link to that line.... 'pet, i say luv, i say pet... ', it is very funny aussie humour
3:35 am
mrpresident

3:36 am
boatierra
Hey ruby :)
3:36 am
negativeneil
Hi ruby.
3:37 am
boatierra
Apparently Pepperidge Farm carries a line of Tim Tams.
3:37 am
negativeneil
That would be a real tease, mrp... it would leave you just wanting more!
3:37 am
negativeneil
They do, boatierra? Wow. I must get some.
3:38 am
negativeneil
Oh mrp? And boat? Ask Laura about me and cookies sometime.
3:39 am
boatierra
Mmmm, I just looked on World Market's site and they do not carry them.
3:39 am
boatierra
Will do Neil :)
3:39 am
rubyfoo
every now and then I mess up and type, usually too fast, a bunch of small words in the chog. Fortunately, they are usually words everybody already has. I'm just no good at multi-tasking!
3:39 am
mrpresident
Pepperidge Farm do, but they are not Arnotts TimTams, they are a fake!!
3:40 am
rubyfoo
and almost everybody is kind about it -- almost....
3:40 am
boatierra
That's what the site that I found was saying, that they are not the read deal.
3:41 am
rubyfoo
how I miss Pepperidge Farm products! Even the white bread! When I go back to the US, I carry an empty suitcase and fill it with stuff I can't buy here
3:41 am
negativeneil
There's kind of a running joke about me and cookies. But just don't ask my brother about it. Oh no. Ask Laura instead!
3:41 am
boatierra
So far I've found like three different site as to where to buy Arnott
3:42 am
boatierra
Arnott's Tim Tams. Very popular!
3:42 am
negativeneil
Oh? Are only Arnotts' the real deal mrp?
3:42 am
negativeneil
You mean here, boat?
3:42 am
boatierra
Dare I ask, are you a "cookie monster"?
3:43 am
negativeneil
Uh, kind of... just ask Laura.
3:43 am
mrpresident
yes neil... Arnotts only
3:43 am

How much do they cost there, mrp?
3:47 am
herinfernallady
BUT Aussie post have became epically stupid on posting
3:47 am
mrpresident
I'll say infern! we should be ripping the world off!! but I don't have the fortitude!
3:47 am
negativeneil
Or herin... you live there too, haha!
3:47 am
negativeneil
I'm slow when I'm this tired.
3:47 am
herinfernallady
Neil about $3 or $2 on special. I don't buy them over $2 (I am a tight arse)
3:48 am
sprite
nor the inclination, mrP :P
3:48 am
boatierra
But the second site listed has them at 6.95 a package.
3:48 am
negativeneil
Wow. That's cheap.
3:48 am
mrpresident
indeed sprite! **hugs**
3:48 am
herinfernallady
$9 for a jar of Vegimite
3:48 am
boatierra
Nothing about how much to send until you actually check out your cart.
3:48 am
mrpresident
yeah, $2 is what I spend, and $3.60 when I 'need' them
3:48 am

negativeneil
Hi debjed. :)
3:49 am
herinfernallady
I don't need them I bought a pack on Sunday when shopping as they were cheap and I don't really like store bisuicts
3:49 am
mrpresident
vegemite is shoe polish
3:49 am
negativeneil
I think it's like Marmite? Am I right?
3:49 am
boatierra
Looks like the third site has them listed at 3.95 a package, before shipping.
3:49 am
rubyfoo
all these exotic foods.... lol
3:49 am
sprite
vegetarian salty paste like Marmite
3:49 am
negativeneil
Haha, mrp... don't think so!
3:49 am
rubyfoo
nourishing? or just salty?
3:50 am
negativeneil
Yeah! So I was right for once. [I'm Left otherwise].
3:50 am
herinfernallady
Nothing like marmite. You serious Mr pres?
3:50 am
sprite
salty... like a seasoning, added to give taste
3:50 am
negativeneil
It's not like Marmite?
3:50 am
herinfernallady
MR Pres the boy say Get out of my country
3:50 am
boatierra
I know that Cost Plus World Market (at least when I worked there in 2000) used to carry both Veg and Marmite.
3:50 am
herinfernallady
Neil it is but tastes different
3:50 am
mrpresident
neil, I do kid, but it looks like shoe polish, and smells like salty brewers yeast/old beer.... and must be used sparingly
3:50 am
sprite
yep but vegetarian
3:50 am
mrpresident
Marmite is disgusting!
3:51 am
sprite
some people love it though
3:51 am
negativeneil
Haha, yep. Sounds just like Marmite... which I like, but as you say must be used sparingly. I spread it on my toast very thinly.
3:51 am
negativeneil
Uh, I like Marmite. Does that make me disgusting?
3:51 am
herinfernallady
Sprite there is Vegimite that is Kosher too. It has a K on it
3:51 am
negativeneil
When I went to the UK a couple of times, I brought back jars of it.
3:51 am
rubyfoo
too funny!
3:51 am
herinfernallady
Mr Pres sparingly? I slab it on
3:51 am
negativeneil
Good to know, herin... but it's not as good as Marmite?
3:51 am
mrpresident
infern, do you go corner to corner??
3:52 am
herinfernallady
Yep
3:52 am
sprite
some love it better, neil
3:52 am
rubyfoo
in the halall grocery store, many of the foods are kosher as the muslim dietary restrictions seem to be similar
3:52 am
negativeneil
Personal taste I guess.
3:52 am
herinfernallady
But I also mix it with Peanut butter on corn thins
3:52 am
boatierra
I'm turning in the for the night kids. Time for a bit of reading then bed. Thanks for all the clues and for the good conversation. G'night all :)
3:52 am
negativeneil
Yes, ruby. I'm Jewish.
3:52 am
mrpresident
neil, you aren't disgusting, just when you compare vegemite to marmite, it is disgusting
3:52 am
sprite
yeah. I like peanut butter with sambal...
3:52 am
negativeneil
[in case you couldn't tell]
3:53 am
negativeneil
I love peanut butter.
3:53 am
boatierra
Oh and for anyone who wants it, I've posted a non-flour chocolate cake recipe in my profile :) I've made it several times. It's very good :)
3:53 am
negativeneil
Non-flour? How does that work? [checking]
3:54 am
rubyfoo
I never had peanut butter or white bread as a child but when I left home (to get married at 19), I pigged out on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on Wonder Bread

3:54 am
negativeneil
Yes, that's a beautiful photo boat.
3:54 am
boatierra
The first time I saw the receipe I was fascinated by the fact that it has not flour, that it was chickpeas, so I had to make it, and sure as sh**, it WORKS!
3:55 am
negativeneil
I can't imagine it, haha!
3:55 am
boatierra
Thanks! Love that pic :)
3:55 am

ok you made me enter shit in the grid
3:55 am

3:55 am
rubyfoo

3:55 am
negativeneil
Same here, ruby.
3:55 am
rubyfoo
I discovered that leaving the tahini out of hummus makes it better
3:55 am
negativeneil
How did we do that, sprite?
3:55 am
boatierra
It's some of the best cake I've ever had. And I love my hummus! But it workds for cake too :)

3:58 am

That's usually typed like this:
"OMG!!!!!!!1" [when I see it online]
3:58 am
herinfernallady
Dates in Chocolate cake sorry
3:59 am
negativeneil
It always has to end in a "1" for some reason.
3:59 am

it is quite a job and demands a load of molten chocolate, but yum do those guys taste good after.
3:59 am
mrpresident
omg... my husband is leaving to go back to the hospital... feel sick
3:59 am
negativeneil
Lailah tov, boat. :)

Doesn't he have to return there?
4:00 am
negativeneil
Yeah, sprite... that's what I figured.
4:00 am
mrpresident
I want him to stay, but it isn't the right time yet... he hasn't embraced his 'honesty' factor yet
4:00 am
sprite
it is hard, honey. Breathe. He needs the treatment and therapy. And you need us and a whole lot of other support.
4:00 am
rubyfoo
uh oh, thumper is afoot
4:00 am
negativeneil
Yes, mrp.
4:01 am

4:01 am
negativeneil
Take care ruby.
4:01 am
rubyfoo
hahah, fat chance
4:01 am
sprite
thumper is DH, neil. He thumps when he needs ruby.
4:02 am
negativeneil
Uh, yeah. I'd probably use the broom.
4:02 am
sprite
I would. But then again, I am not half as nice as rubyfoo.
4:02 am
rubyfoo
no no, it's just his footfalls that I hear. I am firmly ensconced in my studio
4:02 am
negativeneil
Me either, sprite.
4:02 am
rubyfoo
thousands would disagree, sprite!!
4:03 am
sprite
nah, not if they knew me. I can be a regular bitch. Especially when I feel manipulated.
4:03 am
rubyfoo
it has gotten to the stage where I just feel sorry for him
4:03 am
rubyfoo
<-- doesn't believe that for a second!
4:03 am
rubyfoo
sprite always brings sunshine to the chog!
4:03 am
sprite
that is good, ruby. As long as you are not scared anymore, it's ok. But you know, I can still come to visit :P
4:04 am

4:15 am
sprite
jeezzz finally I spot tmesis all by myself and now it is a phantom.
4:16 am
negativeneil
And he can't tweet at me anymore because the first thing I did was block him on Twitter... so that should solve it.
4:16 am
negativeneil
Oh, after I had my say.
4:16 am
sprite
great. You can do without such nutters
4:17 am
negativeneil
After I laughed at him for his lame trolling abilities, I gave him a *slow clap* and told him he's just the kind who gives our Marines a bad rep. Then I blocked him.
4:18 am
negativeneil
But your assessment? Yeah. I was thinking that was a strong possibility myself. And my brother thought so too.
4:19 am
sprite
it is very likely. No need to go all hostile unless you feel threatened.
4:19 am
negativeneil
Oh that doesn't stop some, sprite. Learned that lately just on here.
4:20 am
herinfernallady
Well I am going to go now
4:20 am
sprite
bye lady *hug*
4:20 am
negativeneil
Ok herin... take care.
4:20 am
sprite
if they do, they feel threatened in some way
4:21 am
negativeneil
Even when there's no reason to... it's amazing.
4:21 am
sprite
I think there is always a reason. But usually it is inside ourselves and not something we like to be aware of.
4:22 am
negativeneil
Oh probably. Which is why I usually just shake my head and feel sorry for them. And employ block if it's an option... that works.
4:23 am
sprite
lol yes. And if it is myself who feels hostile, I try to check why I feel threatened.
4:24 am
mrpresident
I am so exhausted after that!! good lord
4:24 am
negativeneil
I can't say I really feel that way too often... it takes a very serious, strong reason for that to happen.

Almost as bad as him doing "Bohemian Rhapsody" there is also a cover of "She Blinded Me With Science" on "Seeking Major Tom". Listen to this stuff at your own risk. I think the CD should come with a demise of sanity warning disclaimer.

There will be another song for me- for I will sing it.
7:04 am
Kaplan the Magne
Spring was never waiting for us, girl
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance
Between the parted pages and were pressed,
In love's hot, fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants
CHORUS
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down...
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!
I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave
On the ground around your knees
The birds, like tender babies in your hands
And the old men playing checkers by the trees
CHORUS
There will be another song for me
For I will sing it
There will be another dream for me
Someone will bring it
I will drink the wine while it is warm
And never let you catch me looking at the sun
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
You'll still be the one.
I will take my life into my hands and I will use it
I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it
I will have the things that I desire
And my passion flow like rivers through the sky.
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
I'll be thinking of you
And wondering why.
Chicago or even "Classical Gas" by Mason Williams>
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down...
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!
Oh, no
No, no
Oh NO!! (upon which Harris suffers an irreversible gender change)

So cute. I had a dream about having loose bunnies in the house and there were 2 bunnies that were not familiar and I did not know how they got into my house.

one is gray and the other a butterscotch color - sister - just adorable
8:40 am
Scrabbler
Yes, my bunnies have always been litter box trained and they learn quickly. Restrict them to a cage initially and place a box with paper-based litter (not clay stuff nor aromatic wood chips!) and they do their stuff in one place, usually a corner.
8:40 am
bichon
And, if there's an accident, at least it's easy to pick up.
8:41 am
Scrabbler
Baby bunnies are so damn cute. But when those 2 hit puberty within the next few months they will fight. Have the family read www.rabbit.org re bonding rabbits. It is a challenge.
8:41 am

when we had our bunnies they were kept out side in a rabbit hutch - the small room we made in it for a bedroom, they used as their bathroom...too funny

our two were sisters...they constantly humped each other.....domination I guess

Does neutering help with the fighting. My fluffs are ex boys and the sibling rivalry sure shows
8:42 am
saanichcat
civvies as opposed to khaki
8:43 am
Scrabbler
They should absolutely be neutered--less aggression. And male bunnies can spray urine soneutering st5 that.
8:43 am
Riverdance
these are both females
8:44 am

My Bichons have alsways been neutered. The are such a dominating breed, they still mark in the house [they wear belly bands]
8:44 am
Scrabbler
My female bunnies have always been quite fe5-y!
8:45 am

I have always had female pets not wanting to deal with the male issues....drives me crazy when my neighbors dog has to mark my yard all the time

8:51 am

How are bunnies different from dogs?
8:51 am
bichon
I didn't mean physically. As pets
8:52 am
Scrabbler
Use litter box so lower mainteneance.
8:52 am
bichon
And they don't need walking. But I need exercise, so a plus for dogs
8:53 am
rubyfoo
we've had two male chows over the years, neither one neutered and both as gentle as can be. Neither one ever showed any interest in girls....too much inbreeding?

Ruby was spayed as DH couldn't deal with the idea of heat!
8:55 am
bichon
mine have always been neutered. When the late Biscuit discovered the puppy next year, he humped him and got an erection. What an emarassment
8:55 am
rubyfoo
Max is so timid anyway, that side from the pungent P issue, neutering would have been a mistake
8:55 am
saanichcat
whoops sorry
8:55 am
Aaronitor
any clues for the u word please
8:56 am
Riverdance
I must get back to work - have a great day everyone
8:56 am
bichon
ruby, I know you're American, but I think it's the European influence. Vets here expect you to neuter if you're not intending to breed or show. And, it's more expensive to license an unneutered dog
8:56 am
bichon
Aaron, it's like the sttate, but different last letter
8:56 am
rubyfoo
Max isn't licensed and neither was Rufus, we just had to prove that they had rabies shots when we imported them
8:57 am
rubyfoo
I think that chows must be different from other breeds in that the females are much more aggressive and are better watch dogs. The males just want to be admired
8:57 am
bichon
ruby, if you don't license here and they are caught by animal control, you pay a big fine to retrieve them
8:58 am
rubyfoo
the dog that attacked DH was never even put down, so you can imagine how lax the laws are here!
8:58 am
rubyfoo
Max has never been off the property and we've had him almost 8 years. When he needs a vet, he gets a house call
8:59 am
rubyfoo
2/3 done and it's cocktail time in Dixie
8:59 am
rubyfoo
2/3 done and it's cocktail time in Dixie

bichon
I think if a dog bites a person, they are quarantined. and, if there's a lawsuit, your insurance premium skyrockets. Some insurance companies won't write a policy if there is a certain breed in the home. And, I think chows are one of those breeds
8:59 am
rubyfoo
have small, curly-haired dogs. Grooming issues are our biggest problem with chows
9:00 am
bichon
A house call by the Vet. Never heard of that. But, what do I know.
9:00 am
Aaronitor
any clues for the tu4,5 please
9:01 am
rubyfoo
the dog that attacked my husband was quarantined for 2 weeks, kept in dog jail for another week and then released to his owners with various provisos about when and where to walk him, keeping him muzzled, etc., but none of it was enforced
9:01 am
bichon
Bichons need lots of grooming. They go to a groomer every 8 weeks and I brush them about once a week on the average. I also brush their teeth.
9:01 am
bichon
I think a lawsuit can enforce a lot of rules
9:01 am
rubyfoo
that is so cute! I comb Ruby every other day but it is an endless task as she has an extremely dense and long undercoat
9:02 am
bichon
not yet Aaron
9:02 am
rubyfoo
we filed a criminal complaint, the owner paid the initial expenses but it just went to court yesterday to see if we can get damages. My poor husband deserves something, as it has been all downhill for him, since the attack.
9:02 am
bichon
After they're groomed, there's nothing really to brush. But by 3-4 weeks, I need to. If they get matted, the groomer is not happy with me
9:03 am
bichon
The US is a litigious place. You'd win big here
9:03 am
rubyfoo
Ruby looks gorgeous, but her tail is matted and she's greasy underneath.
9:04 am
rubyfoo
I tried bathing her myself last week and, although I got her clean, she immediately headed for the mud and was dirtier after the bath, than before
9:04 am
bichon
tu + present tense of the verb to be
9:04 am
rubyfoo
we'll be lucky if we get $5,000 here!
9:04 am
bichon
I don't tend to bathe mine unless there is a big calamity. I don't mind in the summer, but who wants a shivering dog
9:04 am
rubyfoo
see you later!
9:05 am
bichon
Wow! 5,000. a pittance of what you'd get here for pain and suffering
9:05 am
bichon
got the 8. it is a tu word
9:08 am
Aaronitor
how do the tile stats work
9:09 am
bichon
aaron each tile is worth a certain numer. The f is worth 4 points. You add up the points of your word and multiply them by 1 for a 4 letter word, 2 for a 5 letter word, etc
9:09 am
bichon
try looking at the help page
9:10 am
Aaronitor
yes but say u were looking for the last t word, how would you know how many letters it is
9:13 am
Aaronitor
and why are there more than one tile stat for say the ts
9:15 am
Xoviat
It's an indicator of where the word starts on the board not just the letter
9:19 am
Aaronitor
thank you i understand it now
9:20 am
Xoviat
I only started playing this late last night, takes a while for it all to sink in.

did anybody else think yesterday's little grid was a stinker?
10:14 am
lbdawger
yeah, for a dinky grid, it was a twisty one.
10:15 am
rubyfoo
I reached half and quit, no fun at all
10:15 am
rubyfoo
I never finish, but enjoy a juicy grid
10:15 am
lbdawger
i finished it, but for so few words it still took me a half hour.
10:16 am
rubyfoo
it took me that long to get half! :(
10:18 am
lbdawger
i like challenges of the grids, and sometimes i just want to fish smack it cuz it has ridiculous words that shouldn't be allowed. like amtrac!
10:18 am
rubyfoo
amtrac????
10:18 am
rubyfoo
I like the big grids with builders
10:20 am
lbdawger
yeah, that was in the grid a couple days ago. i like moderate sized like this one up to the medium sized ones around 200. the monster grids are hard to keep focused on and take me way too long to get half way
10:21 am
rubyfoo
for nbt, please, I need the left-hand e and the i
10:21 am
rubyfoo
I've tried everything! monkeys are lying on the floor, exhausted
10:21 am
Nef
I never want to tackle anything larger than 300 words because I know I'll never get even half way. I get too discouraged with the really big grids
10:22 am
rubyfoo
with the big ones I have simple goals: half and nbt
10:22 am
lbdawger
e from the first column...how you would spell the letter S
10:22 am
rubyfoo
duh me, slap me with a guppy!
10:23 am
lbdawger
the i is io4.4 io5.10, just a little bit

sadie52
i used to have a tortie (reverse calico)
1:07 pm
crosshair
huge head on hom..told the wife if we break down and get him,i want to call him smirnoff
1:08 pm
sadie52
sometimes the rescues do have alot of baggage alot of that is due to their treatment prior to rescue
1:08 pm
sadie52
ours were kept in cages and used for breeding
1:08 pm
crosshair
one of our rescue kitties you canot yell at,she will just shut down
1:08 pm
sadie52
smirnoff lol i like that name
1:09 pm
bichon
Yes, the current two were found as strays and they are afraid of other dogs they see on walks. They are also fearful of riding in the can
1:09 pm
sadie52
yes these had their quirks also lots of love and patience seems to have helped
1:10 pm
sadie52
sometimes they remember abuse always one of these is scared to death of fly swatters of all things
1:10 pm
bichon

its usually the care before shelter that has caused their fears i think
1:14 pm
crosshair
in toronto they have set a new policy for this year at least,you cannot buy a dog or a cat from a pet store,only reputable breeders,or rescue shelters etc
1:14 pm
bichon
We're hoping they will get over their fears of other dogs. It's been around 9 months since we got them.
1:14 pm
crosshair
they want to find homes for all the pund animals and resuce animals first
1:15 pm
bichon
that is good crossy. Pet stores are just outlets for puppy mills
1:15 pm
sadie52
hmmm a good idea
1:15 pm
crosshair
yup,,no dogs or cats at pet stores...period
1:15 pm
sadie52
yes they are bichon
1:15 pm
sadie52
thats where ours came from was puppy mills
1:15 pm
bichon
I see people spending a lot of money at pet stores for animals with very poor backgrounds
1:16 pm
crosshair
we do not have a large mill problem,but this will kill off what is still out there
1:16 pm
bichon
The Bichon rescue organization does place puppy mill rescues, but only in homes with no young children and only in a home where there is a socialized dog
1:16 pm
sadie52
yea i do also and it breaks my heart to see some of those pups and kittens and know where they came from
1:16 pm
bichon
The US has a large puppy mill problem
1:17 pm
crosshair
i have heard that
1:17 pm
sadie52
its nice to have rescues and know we are giving them what they deserve a good home and they are totaly spoiled lol
1:17 pm
sadie52
yes it does bichon
1:17 pm
crosshair
it is sadie,it is a win/win situation
1:17 pm
bichon
Unfortunately, CT has passed a law so rescue groups can't go to places in the country with dogs at kill shelters and bring them to CT. These rescues have to get very expensive and frequent checks at the vet. This makes the vet rich
1:19 pm
sadie52
oh yea it does im sure vets love this
1:20 pm
sadie52
kinda fries ya to think they are just making life harder for rescues and the animals thy want to help
1:21 pm
bichon
don't know why CT went along with this. It's a lose/lose situation
1:21 pm
sadie52
yep it is
1:22 pm
crosshair
our 2 local vets donate thier skills to the shelter and charge for materials only
1:22 pm
crosshair
and our shelter is a no kill one,we foster out all animals when possible
1:23 pm
sadie52
thats very nice of them
1:23 pm
crosshair
we fostered 2 kitties just last month but then they found a forever home for both
1:23 pm
bichon
Our vets do volunteer too, but I don't see the purpose of the law. It only serves to discourage rescue organizations
1:23 pm
bichon
ttyl bye nice meeting you sadie

Do you use the hints?
3:08 pm

but I toook 2 hours
3:08 pm
crosshair
first 6 months pro,i used to obsess and kill myself to finish every grid..now i just relax and enjoy it
3:08 pm

3:09 pm

I'm best at 4:00 am

lbdawger
deinitely use lickety's list or if that's not available whomever might have one. helps me keep from going totally bonkers, otherwise i'm just half bonkers
3:10 pm
Xoviat
I had to go to Lickety's page to figure out the last 9. Being fairly decent at scrabble I thought I'd hack it without. I was wrong.
3:11 pm

smaller dictionary than I'm used to. I play sowpods scrabble, so there were a lot of 'huh?' moments when words like aitu wouldn't go through.
3:12 pm
LuwandaHL
thanx, saanichet. do you have one i don't already have? hehe :)
3:14 pm
saanichcat
Hello Luwanda, I'll try! (Pl. that last one)
3:15 pm
lbdawger
babble uses the enable dictionary. a truly horrible dictionary!
3:16 pm
saanichcat
I don't like it because of the ethnic slur words. That bugs me.
3:17 pm
crosshair
the babble enable dictionary and all other regular ones are distant relatives at best
3:17 pm
lbdawger
me too, saanich. and the made up words as well as the proper nouns it allows, inconsistencies too
3:18 pm
saanichcat
it still won't allow "tech"
3:19 pm
saanichcat
I think it is Sprite who is compiking a words not wanted list
3:19 pm
lbdawger
enable needs to be updated
3:19 pm
saanichcat
*compiling (I have rotten eyesight!)
3:20 pm
saanichcat
They seem to have updated by removing a lot of the old biblical useage except for a few, "saith" comes to mind
3:21 pm
lbdawger
i think the word generator that Dr. G uses probably doesn't choose that many.
3:22 pm
Xoviat
saith is also a fish. Odd that they'd remove that.
3:23 pm
saanichcat
Word people will never agree! The Official Scrabble Dictionary is so crazy I won't play unless we use Oxford Canadian/American
3:24 pm
saanichcat
Actaull "saith" is still there, but many others are not. Sorry for confudion
3:24 pm
Xoviat
There are some 30K more words in sowpods. They'll be even more of a difference next year.
3:25 pm
saanichcat
I have never used sowpods. Do you find it useful?
3:28 pm
Xoviat
Useful? It's the valid words I require to play scrabble competitively. I'd call it more 'hard work' than useful. I'm sure there's a couple of obsessive people here who understand this :)
3:29 pm
saanichcat
Oh, yes indeed Xov
3:32 pm
lbdawger
i guess there are some folks who really get competitive with their games. not me.
3:34 pm
Xoviat
Yeah, it starts off as picking up a few new words here and there, then there's deliberate study of new words. Before you know it, you're reading the paper, and pulling anagrams out of what you're reading. Scrabble's definitely not for someone with OCD tendencies.

3:56 pm
MollyL
I agree LBD. I see no point in learning "new words" that I can't use. I'm not so heavily invested in word games that it would be a plus for me.
4:00 pm
uusue2
another problem with learning new words in a game like babble is that you have to make a real effort to find a definition. I get several word-of-the-day lists that occasionally have words I don't know - they come with interesting tidbits about the origin and use of the words, which I enjoy.
4:02 pm
MollyL
I find it annoying that there are words in these grids with "no definition listed" when you click on the definition link.
4:03 pm
uusue2
me too! although if I really want to know I will google the word; I think I've always found some kind of definition that way.
4:09 pm
lbdawger
i used to look up all the words i didn't know, but not any more. i look up the ones that seem the most interesting or most bizarre now.

Nef I was going to say Hi to you last night but I was on my phone

7:33 pm
Nef
YAY, meliae!!! WTG!!!
7:34 pm
herinfernallady
I was actually in bed babbling on my iphone
7:36 pm
Nef
LOL! I'm not ready to Babble in bed! I lay down; I fall asleep! (And sometimes I fall asleep before I lay down; especially playing Babble when I'm tired!)
7:36 pm
herinfernallady
you would be amazed at how many babblets you find when asleep
7:37 pm
Nef
DH reads in bed; I can't even read a bedtime story to our grandson without falling asleep. Something about laying down puts me to sleep
7:37 pm
Nef
I'm like the old baby dolls that close their eyes whenever they are laid down
7:39 pm
herinfernallady
Cute
7:42 pm
Nef
When I was younger I could stay awake; but not anymore. DH and I used to play Backgammon in bed before going to sleep (that was on my days off; I always worked either evenings or night shifts for most of my life
7:43 pm
herinfernallady
I can't shut my brain off that is the problem
7:45 pm
Nef
I don't know if my brain shuts off or not, to tell you the truth. But I've often wondered why it seems that more women have insomnia than men?
7:46 pm

It does that every now and then. Some people call it haveing a Senoir Moment.
7:57 pm
Nef
LOL! Mine does that too, GA; so don't worry. I had that first ps word this AM; didn't think about there being another til you asked (and I know those words from working)
7:58 pm
gapeach
Well, Nef, it's either laugh or cry at ourselves. Sometimes I do both. LOL
7:59 pm
Nef
me too; sometimes at the same time too
8:02 pm
herinfernallady
I am not over 34 and I have senior moments
8:03 pm
gapeach
LOL, Nef.
8:03 pm
Nef
then they aren't "senior" are they? Maybe just call them time outs?
8:04 pm

I woke up this morning to find one toy snake in the bedroom one cat nudging me and then I got up and found the feather boa toy in the lounge door. I guess he wanted to play
8:05 pm
gapeach
One of my ex-sisters-in-law used to say I was 'loopy'.....notice I said ex.
8:06 pm
Nef
thank goodness they were toys! My daughter found that the one cat gave her a "present" of a half dead mouse yesterday AM!
8:06 pm
herinfernallady
My mother and I have many conversations that my father doesn't understand
8:06 pm
herinfernallady
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWw Nef. No they don't kill anything. Thankfully
8:07 pm
Nef
My daughter's cat doesn't catch mice; but Aunty's cat has found a few this fall
8:08 pm
Nef
(I'm glad about that too! I don't want mice or other critters in my house!)
8:08 pm
herinfernallady
I was at my friends house and she lives on a farm. Her cat often kills mice. She did it when I was there feeding the animals as they were on holidays and the cat got a mouse. I screamed and nearly cried that kitty was killing the poor mouse
8:08 pm
gapeach
Gees, herin, I just glad it was a toy snake. The other night on the local news....a woman had awoke to find a snake in her bed, under the covers......I wouldn't have had to go to the bathroom....the animal control came out and found 3 more in her bedroom.....I'd be "already gone".
8:09 pm
herinfernallady
Ga in that case I would be in my cupboard.
8:09 pm
Nef
YIKES, GA! That would freak me out completely!
8:10 pm
gapeach
Yeah, they would just have to call the coroner.
8:10 pm
herinfernallady
Were they posionous snakes?
8:11 pm
Nef
The reason I haven't ever moved further south (even though I like a warmer climate) is that when I tell DH I want to move; he reminds me that there are bigger bugs down south! And I'll add snakes to that too now!
8:11 pm
LuwandaHL
When I was a little girl. We were runnig in and out of my grandparents's screen door one summer day. I barely remember going up to my mom and telling her there was a snake behind the TV. It was a 3-4 ft black snake. The never discovered how it go in the house.
8:12 pm
herinfernallady
Luw are they posionous?
8:12 pm
Nef
OMG, Luwanda! NO WAY!
8:14 pm
gapeach
They didn't say, herin. But to me, they bring back childhood memories of my grandmother's farm and a large black dog killing a large snake.....my mother went into herysterics ( I know that is not how to spell that word) and of course, I followed her example.
8:14 pm
herinfernallady
?
8:14 pm
LuwandaHL
Nope - My grandmother caught it and let it go in the woods. I guess they kill mice. I can remember gathering eggs and finding on in a chicken's nest.
8:15 pm
gapeach
Luwanda, where did your grandmother live? Mine was in KY.
8:16 pm
herinfernallady
In Aus a lot of our snakes are venomous that is why I asked. In Queensland I remember reading an article on the the floods and one of the isolated flooded properties they had over 1000 snakes on the high ground. I would have been elsewere
8:16 pm
LuwandaHL
There are supposed to be some poisonous snakes in Indiana but they are few and far between. The cold winters used to keep the population down. There were very few north of the Ohio River but warmer climate had increased thier reign north.
8:17 pm
gapeach
Oh, my dear! Did they dispose of them or just let them go?
8:17 pm
herinfernallady
There was no where for the poor snakes to go. It was all flooded
8:18 pm
Nef
did they live?
8:18 pm
herinfernallady
The snakes no idea.
8:19 pm
herinfernallady
If it was me on that farm then I wouldn't be living there Ever
8:19 pm
LuwandaHL
I wandered the woods and the creeks my whole life and have never come upon a venomous snake in Indiana. I had a garter snake crawl across my foot in my flower garden last year. I definitely startled me. I let out a yell and my neighbor came running. Hubby didn't even react. He knows I'm not that scared of them just surprised.
8:20 pm
herinfernallady
I remember my Grandmother telling me about living in Africa and having a bed full of bugs
8:21 pm
gapeach
We moved to GA from KY in 1977....had a very large back yard and my first summer here there were up to 6 snakes crawling across my back deck in one day....now, the Animal Control people and I were on a first name basis. I've always had dogs and my greatest fear was them getting bitten. I had to talk with myself and wonder if I would grab the thing if it wrapped itself around one of them and I finally concluded that I would. I hope I never have to prove that.
8:23 pm
herinfernallady
GA I was watching Cops the other night and there was a large black snake on this lady's porch and she was inside screaming and refusing to come out. Took a very large police officer to kill it with one whack of his batton
8:23 pm
gapeach
Luwanda, where in IN did you live? I grew up in Owensboro, Ky just about 30 miles from Evansville, IN.

8:44 pm
herinfernallady
I did tell the other half to fix his car or hand in his man card and I would do it.
8:46 pm
herinfernallady
Cars I can deal with. Computers and heating not so much
8:46 pm

the way I deal with cars is I tell someone else to "FIX IT!"

A couple of weeks later, not thinking about this, I moved an angel statue in the garden as revamping work was going on. It scared she sh** out of my Other Half. LOL.
10:51 pm
Jacula
Whatever you do, DON'T BLINK! LOL
10:55 pm
Jacula
I din't blink. Did you? Oh, if you did you're a stone angel now and so can't answer me.
10:57 pm
Jacula
Funny thing is I don't think anyone in that audience blinked, except for the man who coughed, even though we all knew is was pure bunkum.

'Bye jmc.

Clues are up
11:10 pm
Jacula
New grid time already? 2 mins to go according to my pc.
11:11 pm
Bugsaw
it should happen in 50 minutes here Jacula
11:11 pm
Jacula
Nope, another hour to go yet. MrP will get it down to a tee when she can. Thanks anyway! xx
11:12 pm
Bugsaw
I didn't know mr p was doing it now.
11:15 pm
Jacula
Yes, she is Bug, 'cos Lickety's not well right now.
11:16 pm
Bugsaw
I am not sure she is very well either. I wish things could be easier for them both.
11:17 pm
Jacula
I'd say that I never use the list, but that's not true, because I do sometimes consult it for my last few words. I also know many people rely on the lickety list that lets them enter words.
11:17 pm
Jacula
Bug - no, she isn't the best she could be, but she's trying her very best.
11:21 pm
Jacula
I also think that all this being 'honest' in public and trying to help others thing should just stop and that families should just go off line and get themselvesback together again, without feeling they need to say or help .
11:24 pm
Bugsaw
LOL perhaps you have noticed that I have not been here much the last couple of months for the very reason you just said!
11:25 pm
Jacula
Bug - yes and same here.
11:25 pm
Bugsaw
I hope things settle for you then Jac. Sometimes I just play because finding words is the only thing I can control
11:26 pm
Bugsaw
and sometimes I don't play because it just seems like another chore
11:26 pm
Jacula
And, to stop you saying, in case you were tempted to, I'm going off line now. (HUGS)x
11:26 pm
Bugsaw
hugs to you too. thanks for the laugh!

Some people seem to get a lot of comfort from sharing their troubles here

Hi bugs
11:28 pm
Bugsaw
Hi jilli. hugs to you too
11:29 pm
jillibus
beautiful icon, bugs
11:29 pm
mrpresident
indeed jilli :)
11:29 pm
jillibus
I thinks it's time for me to change icons though...
11:29 pm
Bugsaw
I would agree if I thot people here could help but I am pretty private about a lot of things involving family.
11:30 pm
jillibus
hi mrp!
11:30 pm
jillibus
to each his/her own, bugs
11:30 pm
Bugsaw
Hi mr p ! I hear you are covering for Lickety because he is not well. Are you sure you are up to taking care of us
11:31 pm
mrpresident
hi bug... i am sure. i get comfort out of helping
11:32 pm
Bugsaw
I try to help too but I meant I don't always tell people what is going on in the chog. I prefer email
11:32 pm
Bugsaw
I could never finish grids without your help
11:33 pm
jillibus
bugs -- you haven't been here so maybe you're not aware of what has been happening with mrp
11:33 pm
mrpresident
I understand that bugs... emails are thick and fast at the moment, and not all of them helpful, but am happy with the babble friends I have cause they have helped me in ways that I never believed... given me back my confidence in humanity and charity.
When all is better here, I will be changing my outlook on helping people.
11:35 pm
mrpresident
jilli, don't worry too much about it... ***hugs*** and each to their own... is nice to be here :)
11:36 pm
mrpresident
bugs, I could never finish grids without the list! LOL!! It makes it fun for me to have clues and I know it helps lot's of other people have fun too! :))
11:36 pm
jillibus
mrp, I've avoided emailing you because I figured you'd be snowed under, but you know you're in my thoughts all the time.
11:37 pm
jillibus
That list is indispensable to me -- others try to hlep when it doesn't appear but there's nothing like it.
11:37 pm
jillibus
Espcecially when we have Expert.
11:38 pm
mrpresident
luv to you jilli, I know... today is such a better day for me! I get my husband back soon! :)) And have been given a chance to forgive and experience forgiveness... not many people can say that!
11:38 pm
mrpresident
jilli, the chog is a clue paradise when the list is down! LOL!!
11:39 pm
jillibus
oh, that's great news, mrp!
11:39 pm
mrpresident
I like the clueage, it is nice to have help on that level too cause you get to know people that way... like a nice introduction.
11:40 pm
jillibus
oh yes -- the chog full of hints and the lists other make are super helpful too.
11:40 pm
Bugsaw
mr p I hope you will remember that if you miss posting the clues, you are really giving a gift to the Babblers because we do try to take care of each other too. SOme people who are quick at grids are wonderful about posting the stats for the rest of us slower ones.
11:41 pm
jillibus
I love making up word-clues but seldom get a chance -- too slow.
11:42 pm
mrpresident
yes bugs, I just said that... I enjoy that side of it too
11:42 pm
Bugsaw
I must get ready for school tomorrow so will play later. love and prayers to you both mr p.
11:42 pm
mrpresident
bye bugs and thank you :)

Is there a way to move the word list to Lickety without typing them in one at a time?
11:55 pm
jillibus
There is if you use BabbleExpert (unless you have a Mac). Otherwise there's Bulk Add (See the bottom of the list.
11:57 pm
jillibus
Suitably nuts, cos, lol!
11:57 pm
pigeonman

11:58 pm
cosdem

11:59 pm
MLFAN17
Hiya cos
11:59 pm
cosdem
expert is a godsend
11:59 pm
jillibus
mlf, if you have Expert and still use Bulk Add you're not using Expert properly.
12:00 am
jillibus
Aren't you using Lickety Add?
