12:43 am

VolleymomDee

12:44 am

VolleymomDee

would have to forego telling my Protestant friends, they might have a cow, if I did that lol

12:44 am

cosdem

VolleymomDee

dart001

th4 Ok

12:55 am

cosdem

she was insane in tonight's debate.. every other word was "obama care"

12:55 am

negativeneil

Yeah, that's why I added "to say the least".

12:55 am

negativeneil

Check my profile, cosdem.

12:55 am

negativeneil

I have my full commentaries on it in there.

12:55 am

melonheadjujube

12:56 am

I was posting them on my Twitter and G+ pages simultaneously, then added them in there too.

cosdem

dart001

top left a volley

12:59 am

negativeneil

I do a LOT of paraphrasing... because they need it. They need to cut the crap and just say what they really mean. :P

12:59 am

cosdem

thanks da4 i couldnt remember which

12:59 am

cosdem

dailykos does a good job blogging the debates too

12:59 am

VolleymomDee

ty!

12:59 am

negativeneil

Good night, melon.

1:00 am

negativeneil

Oh yeah, I belong in the PB for greeting you earlier, da4,5001!

1:00 am

negativeneil

Or maybe I'll just call you "001" for now.

1:00 am

VolleymomDee

1st column greyed!!!

1:00 am

dart001

OK....almost everyone he4 has said the word th4 in the last few mins

1:00 am

boatierra

I just saw a bit about Bachman. I can't believe she said, "Take the 9/9/9 deal, flip it, and you'll see the devil is in the details." How can she be expected to be taken seriously when she says things like that?

1:00 am

jillibus

neil, it was decided that saying dart's name is an exception to the PB rule.

1:01 am

negativeneil

Or any other name that appears in there, jilli?

1:01 am

VolleymomDee

lol you are correct da

1:01 am

joshuavorbis

same with peri, if you ask me, jilli

1:01 am

dart001

like boat just did at the end lol

1:01 am

negativeneil

I think that rule should apply to any Babbler's name that appears in there, if it's a legitimate grid word.

1:01 am

dart001

and neil lol

1:01 am

negativeneil

My name appears in many of the grids, but isn't a word anyway.

1:02 am

VolleymomDee

ae 6, 7, 7

1:02 am

negativeneil

ah sure, but my name isn't a word, dart.

1:02 am

dart001

talking about ( that and there)

1:02 am

cosdem

11 more 7's ughhhh lol

1:03 am

joshuavorbis

pb and pb

1:03 am

joshuavorbis

but don't worry, dart, that is an empty th6

1:03 am

boatierra

Unless I make a blatant mistake in the chog, I pretty much say screw the PB. I really don't care for it. But that's just me. I don't mind if others play.

1:04 am

jillibus

It's only a joke, boa

1:04 am

dart001

been calling ev1 else on it...but no-one seems know which ones i'm talking about

negativeneil

And you, cosdem. ;)

1:05 am

cosdem

woo hoo!

1:05 am

boatierra

Like I said I don't mind if others play. And if I a really bad mistake I'll put myself there but otherwise it's just really not a game for me so I stay out.

1:49 am

jillibus

ah, that's what happened to Babble -- the tangleworders arrived

1:49 am

VolleymomDee

1:49 am

meliae

no co words, sorry boat

1:49 am

rururocks

1:49 am

dart001

and maniac mitch...all of the really fast ones he4 are the ones th4 came over from Word Racer

1:50 am

Oh I didn't ask for any co words, but thanks :)

1:50 am

VolleymomDee

you are correct da

1:50 am

negativeneil

I'm a regular in Social Lounge 7, at Table 1. :)

1:50 am

dart001

tangleworders are just semi-fast compared to those

1:50 am

VolleymomDee

I loved the original boggle site at hasbro, was sad when that stopped, too

1:50 am

negativeneil

And I play Letterblox on OMGPOP too.

1:50 am

dart001

my point exactly. Neil

1:50 am

VolleymomDee

true

1:50 am

negativeneil

Do you play Word Racer, dart>

1:51 am

negativeneil

Woops. ?

1:51 am

VolleymomDee

letterblox is fun, but not as friendly as tanglewords

1:51 am

jillibus

but Babble was never a racing game before

1:51 am

rururocks

I used to play on the hasbro site dee..loved it

1:51 am

dart001

no...cause I used to mouse at tangleword...typing is not my strong suit

1:51 am

VolleymomDee

great group and the tourneys were really fun

1:51 am

negativeneil

I type what seems impossibly fast to most too, Dee. But I write/type for a living.

1:51 am

meliae

tanglewords is back?

1:51 am

meliae

I moused at tanglewords as well

1:52 am

VolleymomDee

that makes sense neil

1:52 am

VolleymomDee

never a fast mouser, but nice to have a choice

1:52 am

boatierra

I've never heards of tanglewords

1:52 am

meliae

Dee you were really good at tanglewords I used to strive to beat your score, lol

1:52 am

negativeneil

Which also accounts for my love of words.

1:52 am

dart001

I think my high rating at TW was about 2600 out of 4000...and that was one of the higher mousing scores....th5 were many 4000 ra5 typers

1:53 am

VolleymomDee

lol mel, ty vm

1:53 am

meliae

Dee brought me from tanglewords to here a bout 5 years ago

1:53 am

negativeneil

Oh cool, meliae.

1:53 am

dart001

volley brought me he4 too

1:53 am

VolleymomDee

so glad I brought you both!

1:53 am

jillibus

boa, I think it was a speed game and competitive, unlike Babble. It was cancelled several years ago and many fans came here -- they're the ones who race.

1:54 am

meliae

so she is the source of our addiction, lol

1:54 am

VolleymomDee

LOL

1:54 am

negativeneil

Laura got me hooked on this... she knew I'd love it. Some other friends had told me about it too, knowing I'm a real word nerd.

1:54 am

VolleymomDee

great folks he4

1:54 am

rururocks

*gives dee a trenchcoat*

1:54 am

VolleymomDee

not seeing cos' ar 7 / 7 / 8

1:54 am

VolleymomDee

LOL ru

1:54 am

dart001

don't really race Jilli...you may think th4 though...we just see words Quick

1:55 am

rururocks

"come he4 kid.. wanna play a word game?

1:55 am

meliae

imagin having this grid and you have a set time to find as many words as you can

1:55 am

negativeneil

It isn't a race here though because it doesn't matter how fast you finish these grids, as long as you do, right? There aren't extra points for finishing early that I'm aware?

1:55 am

meliae

2 min rounds I want to say

1:55 am

meliae

LOL Ruru

1:55 am

meliae

no Neil there isnt

1:55 am

negativeneil

yes, meliae. That's exactly how Word Racer works.

1:55 am

VolleymomDee

lol ru

1:55 am

dart001

yes, Mel...true Neil

1:55 am

VolleymomDee

correct, neil

1:55 am

negativeneil

You have four grids like this per game... one grid per round, with each round lasting about 2 minutes.

1:56 am

boatierra

Thanks jili for the description :)

1:56 am

meliae

we just like to race each other for fun, and Dart and Dee usually win lol

1:56 am

VolleymomDee

I need help though mel, da and neil finish on their own... I almost always have stragglers I don't see

1:56 am

meliae

oh tangle words was one grid at a time

1:56 am

negativeneil

So you have to gain the most points of anyone at your table, by entering the most high-scoring words you can see. I only play "fives" in that game. That means I'll only enter words 5 letters in length or more... because they're worth so much more than smaller words, it's a waste of time entering small ones.

1:57 am

dart001

in TW, you did get an extra point for finding a word first.....1 pt for a 4 letter word...2 for 5....3 for 6 letters, etc...and the extra for finding it first

1:57 am

jillibus

and some of us don't like to race, just take our time and do it leisurely, enjoying chatting with other players.

1:57 am

dart001

nobody is forcing anyone to race...or do icon themes..or chat or anything as far as I know

1:57 am

negativeneil

Oh? You don't in Babble though that I know of?

1:58 am

rururocks

I like the cooperativeness of this game

1:58 am

jillibus

quite so, dart

1:58 am

VolleymomDee

me, too, ru

1:58 am

VolleymomDee

can anyone guide me to the ar 7's?

1:58 am

jillibus

I do too, ruru, when it happens

1:58 am

meliae

and TW was so addicting you would keep telling yourself, just one more game then I am going to bed, pretty soon your eyes are bleeding and you are hearing that briiiiing sound when the game starts and you realize you just fell asleep on your keyboard, lol

1:59 am

VolleymomDee

ooops nm just found em

1:59 am

dart001

volley..short music piece

2:00 am

negativeneil

Do you like speed word=finding games, boat?

2:00 am

dart001

2:00 am

meliae

oh some kind of patent issue I think or something lame like that

2:00 am

VolleymomDee

missing one stupid 8 ...

2:00 am

negativeneil

word-finding, even?

2:00 am

jillibus

no idea, boa -- do you tanglworders know?

2:00 am

dart001

me too volley

2:00 am

boatierra

I would not be very good at the racing ones. I like to take my time, that's why like this one so much.

2:02 am

meliae

I found a neat Ap for my kindle called "everyword crossings" and another just called "everyword" I really like them both

2:02 am

meliae

its the witching hour! no typing for 4 minutes

2:02 am

jillibus

me too. boa

2:03 am

meliae

so far no babble like games that I have seen

2:03 am

boatierra

I like words finds, sure :)

2:03 am

dart001

and they just axed the Facebook game Scramble...which was similar to TW but was 3 mins. long

2:03 am

meliae

I play words with friends, scrabble like game on FB

2:04 am

VolleymomDee

did you ever hear why they axed it?

2:04 am

VolleymomDee

mel, me, too!

2:04 am

meliae

trademark infringement I bet, Scrabble is very anal about any games that even look like theirs

2:04 am

dart001

nope...should ask FiremanRFDNY ..he had some contact with th4, I think.

2:05 am

VolleymomDee

I was surprised words with friends was ok... so similar to scrabble

2:05 am

meliae

rhonda wetzell look me up over there and add me Dee =)

2:05 am

negativeneil

Well there's www.lexulous.com, which has a game that looks exactly like theirs, although you have 8 tiles in your tray instead of 7. Otherwise, exactly the same game, but not by the same name.

2:05 am

dart001

this game is the exact same thing...except 24 hrs vs. 3 mins

2:05 am

rururocks

I wonder If babble rabble will be sued by scrabble

2:05 am

meliae

yep I bet it goes bye bye soon

2:05 am

jillibus

we do Lexulous on Facebook with friends, neil

2:06 am

negativeneil

:P

2:06 am

jillibus

Lex was threatened but adapted the game so that it isn't exactly like Scrabble.

2:07 am

negativeneil

I will not use Facebook, jilli. I'm just waiting [and can't wait] to get rid of my account on there. I thought I had deleted it but that didn't work! But now I'm waiting it out just a little longer... trying to get a few more of my college alumni to move over to G+, which has real privacy. Facebook has none and I can't risk posting a lot of personal stuff there.

2:07 am

negativeneil

I have emptied my FB page and put up a silly photo that nobody would know me by.

2:07 am

jillibus

I know you refuse to use FB, neil -- you've said so many times.

2:07 am

negativeneil

Not one of me.

2:08 am

Oh, ok. Thought you were trying to interest me in that... the Lexulous on there. I just play email games with family and/or friends. Works better for busy people.

oh, good, before the holidays! sure hope you get some answers

2:40 am

neil, it does not work, because the chog uses a proportional font. For these beauties you need a font that uses the same amount of space for each letter and sign.

I know the feeling, peach :D

2:48 am

I'm not religious at all either... I'm a very secular Jew.

2:48 am

But I figured if you were Catholic you'd be in that confessional box a LOT.

2:48 am

negativeneil

Or is it a booth? I never know.

2:48 am

rururocks

it's too late for the box neil..

2:49 am

Oh ok, just checked a Catholic joke someone sent me and it says "box".

2:49 am

rururocks

you can't really blame Monica..

2:49 am

negativeneil

This one...

2:49 am

negativeneil

Tom goes into his church's confessional box and says,
"Bless me, Father for I have sinned. I have been with a loose woman."

The priest says "Is that you, Tommy?"
"Yes Father, it is I."
"Who was the woman you were with?"
"I cannot tell you Father, for I do not wish to sully her reputation."
"The priest asks "Was it Brenda O'Malley?"
"No father."
"Was it Fiona MacDonald?"
"No father."
"Was it Ann Brown?"
"No father, I cannot tell you."
The priest says "I admire your perseverance, but you must atone for your
sins. Your penance will be five Our Fathers and four Hail Marys."

Tom goes back to his pew and his buddy Sean slides over and asks what happened.
Tom replies: "I got five Our Fathers, four Hail Marys and three good leads."

Monica makes me think of the description of the perfect woman:
about waist-high, pouty mouth, big ears, and flat on top so you can put your beer down.

2:52 am

LOL!! but sprite, you left out the tattoos so there will be moving pictures...

Sweaty dreams?

sweaty dreams... and more sheets for the cleaners

Ta Neil, This particular Labrador Oscar is the best ever. I just wish they lived as long as we do.

3:12 am

Enable does not accept a lot of Spanish words, though, that does not stop me from trying over and over and over, etc.

3:13 am

oh me too, Pat. I never want to live without our terra anymore...

3:13 am

negativeneil

I know, Pat. It was heartbreaking losing ours.

3:13 am

the only consistancy of Enable is its inconsistancy

3:13 am

And I really can't have any pets in my life at this stage.

Oh, you meant THAT co6,21?

3:17 am

I had another dog with the same closeness He was an alsatian, ex police dog and I still miss him. His handler got divorced and I was asked to look after Duke for a 'couple of weeks'. His new wife had 4 young children, so difficult, and I kept the dog. What a star he was.

3:18 am

I like avoiding nasty diseases, lol.

3:18 am

I love German Shepherds, Pat.

some dogs just enter your he6 and never leave, Pat, don't they

3:19 am

negativeneil

I bet he was... they're so intelligent.

3:20 am

I like cats too but I'm allergic... although short-haired ones don't bother me too much and some, not at all.

3:20 am

boatierra

Our dog Porsche was an Alsatian. We got her from our former neighbor before he moved back to Ireland. She was a terrific dog.

3:22 am

Patxxx

I always said I didn't want a small dog but I acquired Holsten, part collie/spaniel red like a fox and same size, when my daughter and her husband went to live in the South and were renting. He was a cartoon character and in danger of being shot for a fox! There were other dogs but some do stand out.

3:23 am

negativeneil

Aww. Bet he was cute?

3:23 am

sprite

our Terra is a small dog, a king charles cavalier spaniel. But he is ALL dog. Not a lap dog.

3:24 am

rubyfoo

I choke up just he**ing about lost dogs. Every time I look at my beloved Ruby, who is almost 9, I think of the fact that chows are short-lived. I feel the way sprite does about her Terra!

3:25 am

negativeneil

yes, ruby.

3:25 am

negativeneil

I feel like that thinking about the dogs I grew up with.

3:26 am

rubyfoo

I massage her for about an hour every night, hoping it will make her last longer

3:26 am

rubyfoo

there

3:26 am

negativeneil

Aww.

3:26 am

Patxxx

I prefer them to be dogs not fashion accessories. It maddens me when I see them in handbags for no good reason. An old lady nearby did eventually have to take her small dog to necessary places ie vet, trims, in a bag but that was not through choice as the dog had a walking problem. She let him go before it hurt too much and we cried for her.

3:26 am

rubyfoo

sorry

3:27 am

sprite

that will certainly help, ruby

3:27 am

rubyfoo

imagine having a handbag large enough for a 75 lb dog?

3:27 am

negativeneil

Haha, ruby! Who could carry it?

3:27 am

sprite

aw Pat :( I agree about letting them be dogs, as they are meant to be. All the fashion stuff, the high squealy voices, the carrying if not necessary... yuck.

3:28 am

rubyfoo

brb

3:28 am

negativeneil

And even worse... colored hair rinses and nail polish on Poodles? Yuck. :(

3:28 am

negativeneil

Not to mention those ridiculous hairdos.

3:29 am

sprite

nail polish! I have seen that! Some show on TV about a dog beauty parlour cum hotel! I was totally baffled.

3:29 am

negativeneil

Yeah, some people are ridiculous.

3:29 am

boatierra

Oh have any of you seen those cable shows where people go to town on coloring and trimming their dogs? They make them into strange pieces of artwork. It's amazings stuff but I worry about the dogs.

3:30 am

negativeneil

And ressing them up. Ok, I can totally understand a winter coat on certain breeds in cold climates, sure. But some people put clothes on dogs and other fashion accessories for no reason... ribbons in their hair, etc.

3:31 am

negativeneil

Uh, "dressing" them up, even.

3:31 am

sprite

let them do that with dog dolls. Let the dogs play, sniff, run, sleep, cuddle, chase invisible prey etc.

3:31 am

negativeneil

Exactly, sprite.

3:33 am

negativeneil

If you can check your email, sprite, can you just let me know if that email reached you, please... with the video clip attachment? I'd like to know if that worked so I can send it to some other people?

3:33 am

sprite

ok neil, will check now for you

3:34 am

Patxxx

The fox-like dog was my husbands first canine pet. He and Holsten formed a gang. My 6' plus husband and this small very fiesty dog were perfect together. And hubbie was shocked at his own feelings when H died.

Thank you sprite. :)

3:35 am

sprite

hm no I don't think it works. I see a link to g+ but that takes me to your profile, which is pretty empty

3:36 am

negativeneil

It's not surprising, Pat. You do get very attached to a dog who's part of your family.

Oh it's very full sprite... it's just you have to be on G+ and connected with me to see the content.

3:36 am

negativeneil

But that link is just my email signature. It's in all my emails. There should be an attachment to that email?

3:36 am

sprite

ok in that case maybe it only works for G+ ppl

3:36 am

negativeneil

A file attachment... an mp4 file, video clip?

3:37 am

negativeneil

No, G+ has nothing to do with what I'm talking about.

3:37 am

negativeneil

That is just an email. The link in my signature has nothing to do with the file attachment I sent with the email.

3:37 am

Deeha

y first dog was a small one, an old neighbour used to say 'we used t'clean windows wi' dogs like that oop north'!!

3:37 am

negativeneil

Haha, Deeha! I heard people talking like that when we were over there last year. Cracked me up!

3:38 am

boatierra

This is the type of grooming I'm talking about: extreme grooming - http://www.pinkcoyote.net/creativegroo
ming.html

3:39 am

sprite

see, that is why I shouldn't try doing two things at a time when ill, lol. Yes, the link works, downloads ok and plays fine. Good little piece about your brother.

3:40 am

negativeneil

OMG. What is the point of that? It's not benefitting the poor dogs in any way. Geez.

3:40 am

sprite

boa, disgusting. Why do people like that always say the dog loves it? I think I'd love to groom the lady. For hours. Then make her stand and 'prance' for hours. Then make her go through the whole cleaning phase. Tsk.

3:40 am

negativeneil

Oh thanks, sprite. :) Glad to know it worked. Can you tell I was nervous doing that? lol

3:40 am

sprite

lol Deeha, indeed! We call those a 'mop on legs'.

3:41 am

negativeneil

Exactly, sprite. I wonder if you can leave a comment like that on that website somewhere?

3:41 am

boatierra

My jaw dropped the first time I saw any of that, which I think was in an ABC new report. I mean why do that on dogs? Do it on wigs or on scuplture.

3:41 am

negativeneil

NO dog would love that... that poor dog would rather be out running around, playing, sniffing, digging, just being a dog.

3:41 am

negativeneil

No kidding, boat?!

3:41 am

sprite

yeah, but it is not obvious, neil. You look pretty natural. Good voice, clear diction, good eye contact and facial expressions.

3:42 am

sprite

boa, I couldn't agree more

3:43 am

boatierra

Agreed. A dog much rather be running around, or snoozing. Not being forced to stand and be primped and preened like that.

3:44 am

sprite

I don't think so, neil. This lady doesn't want comments. You can email her, if you want.

3:44 am

negativeneil

I think it's slightly obvious if you know me.

3:44 am

negativeneil

I just noticed that, sprite... that there's nowhere to post comments there. Gee, I wonder why?

3:44 am

sprite

lol yes but you asked me, and I don't know you.

3:44 am

boatierra

I mean when you look at that you can see that those people have tons of talent, just why do it to a dog?

3:45 am

negativeneil

Yeah, I know... and thank you for the lovely compliments. :)

3:45 am

sprite

;)

3:45 am

negativeneil

I know, boat. It's total selfishness. And cruel, as far as I'm concerned... to use dogs that way.

3:46 am

negativeneil

Just for the owner's amusement. Do that to a human friends' hair... a willing participant.

3:46 am

Patxxx

It's abuse and we should say it as such. However, too many celebs like 'the look' and 'see my expensive dog and the very expensive collar and even more expensive designer bag he uses'. it causes others to copy them.

3:46 am

negativeneil

Or something inanimate.

3:46 am

negativeneil

YES, Pat. Exactly.

3:46 am

negativeneil

I don't think those people are 'celebs' Pat.

3:47 am

sprite

it is abuse, absolutely, Pat.

3:47 am

Deeha

I hate it but on the other hand dogs love attention and they are getting plenty of that

3:47 am

negativeneil

I've never seen or heard of them. They're just strange, selfish people who don't care about what's best for their dogs.

3:47 am

negativeneil

Sure, but that's not the kind of attention any dog wants. That would take HOURS to do.

3:47 am

negativeneil

The poor dog would have to stand on a grooming table for a very long time.

3:47 am

sprite

true, but I think they'd love cuddle and brush and walk and play attention a lot more.

3:48 am

negativeneil

Exactly, sprite.

3:49 am

sprite

my dog (yeah it is a spaniel) loves few things more than just snoozing, pressed against me, on the couch. I read, he snoozes, I reach out and cuddle him, he opens one lazy eye, sighs contentedly and relaxes even further against me. Now THAT we can do for hours :D

3:50 am

negativeneil

Aww. :)

3:50 am

boatierra

I double that aww :)

3:51 am

negativeneil

Ummm, boat? Gonna follow my DC blog? ;)

3:52 am

Patxxx

Neil, I fell out with a friend who had decided to adopt a rescue dog and proceeded to pop it in a basket and 'walk it'. The crunch came when I found out that it lived in a cage, one outside and one inside, whenever it wasn't on show. I told the vet, who called the rescue centre and they re-rescued it. It needed attention. I told her, none of this was behind her back. She and hubbie now have a proper dog and love it!!!

3:53 am

sprite

how could she, Pat? Total ignorance? Didn't she realise?

3:53 am

boatierra

Sure. I read it all. Are you adding anything new to it?

3:56 am

Patxxx

Are we nuts. My black cat prefers to sleep on my keyboard. My tabby sleeps on top of my legs then blames me when I tip him on the floor in my sleep, I apologise. The Labrador sneaks on the bed followed by the black cat and there's NO chance of turning over. PS The friend now has a cat but the difference is the new hubbie who doesn't indulge her and she's a nicer person all round now. WAIT WHILE SHE HAS KIDS!!!

3:58 am

negativeneil

Not to that particular one, boat, because it's an old blog I've reposted, that was wiped out when a hacker took down my website. I meant "follow" it as in click the "Join this site" button and follow with your Google account [Google Friend Connect], so you appear in the "Followers" list?

3:58 am

boatierra

Followed.

3:58 am

negativeneil

Aww, thanks boat. :)

3:58 am

sprite

ah good for her. And LOL about the nuts household. Yeah, kind of same here. Terra is endlessly creative when it comes to sleeping spots. The hollow of my knees. The top of my head. Draped over me from ear to stomach, turning himself into a 1,5 m dog.

3:58 am

negativeneil

You just helped make it look one person more popular. ;)

3:59 am

sprite

(and I am the person that said: the dog will NOT sleep in our bed. The dog will NOT sit on the couch. Yeah right.)

4:00 am

negativeneil

Why wasn't the rescue dog a "proper dog", Pat?

4:00 am

negativeneil

And someone who treats a dog the way that person treated that rescue dog shouldn't have ANY dog, in my opinion.

4:00 am

negativeneil

Size doesn't make any dog not a dog.

4:00 am

negativeneil

Or I guess I should say a lack of size.

4:01 am

Patxxx

I have said NO a thousand times. It like one person trying to stop a union. I was much tougher on the kids, as they often remind me. I tell them if you had eaten leftovers then I might have been kinder to you.

4:02 am

negativeneil

Haha! They didn't eat any leftovers?

4:02 am

negativeneil

We wouldn't have gotten away with that... we ate what was served for dinner or went hungry. Parents didn't want any food going to waste.

4:02 am

sprite

lol :D
I do say no a lot though. And stick to it, and make my dog and kids mind the limits.

4:03 am

Patxxx

Sorry Neil. I meant she treats the now dog like a dog should be treated.

4:03 am

negativeneil

Good for you, sprite.

4:03 am

negativeneil

Yeah, too bad she couldn't do that with the other poor dog though, huh?

4:04 am

Patxxx

They're not fussy with food really but they prefered a plate each and first go at it, if you follow me.

4:05 am

Patxxx

Neil, the 'other dog' has a normal owner, within a week, and is happy enough.

4:11 am

4:20 am

Norma

Keep well

4:20 am

mrpresident

i am tired, trying to get some stuff done and the kids to bed within an hour... hahaha! not gonna happen (as parents we know that)

4:25 am

sprite

kids know when you are trying for that. It hits their 'postpone and drag' buttons like crazy.

4:30 am

negativeneil

Hi mrp. :)

4:30 am

negativeneil

Oh I'm glad to hear he's getting better!

4:31 am

negativeneil

ah, yes, Pat... if you're still here?

4:31 am

negativeneil

Glad the other dog is ok now.

4:36 am

sprite

neil am checking out that game site, looks like a new addiction. Thanks for that *kicks neil's butt into next week*

4:43 am

negativeneil

Which one, sprite? The one linked to in my profile?

4:44 am

sprite

that omg site

4:44 am

negativeneil

If you mean OMGPOP then yes, the "Letterblox" game on there is very addictive. Ask dcseain and featherbee, they play it with me. :)

4:44 am

sprite

I just found letterblox

4:44 am

sprite

that is BAD

4:44 am

negativeneil

See my profile on there?

4:44 am

negativeneil

I have a lot of bling in it, haha!

4:44 am

negativeneil

My dad and stepmom are on there too, lol.

4:45 am

sprite

haven't looked at your profile, yet, but you are added as a friend

4:45 am

negativeneil

If you read the postings on my "Wall" there you will see some messages from them.

4:45 am

negativeneil

Yes, because you joined on my link. :)

4:45 am

negativeneil

And thank you for doing so. :)

4:46 am

sprite

yvw. I am a sucker for word games. Just got a gold medal, lol

4:47 am

negativeneil

Haha, in my profile you can view my ratings.

4:47 am

negativeneil

And see how many of each medal I've won in that game.

4:47 am

negativeneil

Or stats, I think it's called?

4:48 am

sprite

no id4. Ok, better finish this grid, got a few more words to find

4:48 am

negativeneil

Tell you what I'll do, sprite.

4:48 am

negativeneil

I'll send you an email with a list of the profile links for every Babbler who's a member on there... then you can go to their pages and add them all. :)

4:49 am

sprite

wow... ok, lol. If you think that is a good id4.

4:49 am

negativeneil

Sure, why not?

4:49 am

negativeneil

It makes it easier to hook up for games if you're logged in there at the same time.

4:50 am

sprite

I am usually more the 'play alone' type. I stink at networking.

4:50 am

negativeneil

Meanwhile, you can post a photo and some info in your profile... so they'll be sure it's you. ;)

4:50 am

negativeneil

Oh?

4:50 am

negativeneil

We meet up on there for group games of Letterblox from time to time.

4:50 am

sprite

oh that would be fun. And I added a pic of a cat.

4:56 am

negativeneil

It's sent, sprite.

4:57 am

negativeneil

Oh, ok. A pic of you might be nice? Never seen one.

4:57 am

sprite

thank you neil. Fireflies!

4:57 am

negativeneil

You're welcome sprite and congrats!

4:58 am

sprite

am usually not so free with my personal stuff on the internet. Let me see.

4:58 am

negativeneil

Oh, ok.

5:02 am

ok, check your mail for a pic.
Stupid question: how do I use the profiles links to add them to my friends?

good morning my love. Tertiare has after school stuff today, and she asks that you please pick her up after you get the boyos. does that work for you?

7:07 am

Trifioso

I can make other arrangements....

7:08 am

car.eeyore

I am all set. She texted me earlier.

7:08 am

Trifioso

secondo has a game at five, which I would like to at least pop in to for a second. may I collect tertiare after that?

7:09 am

car.eeyore

Sure.

7:09 am

you are, as always, a blessing to me

Hi Trif...just saw your line of expertise in the grid!

7:19 am

beetleguise is not in the grid...that is my favorite winona ryder movie

7:19 am

Trifioso

thanks car

7:19 am

car.eeyore

I like the look of Real Steel, but I think it will get sappy. Three Musketeers....looks silly to me, so I will be very interested in your review.

7:20 am

car.eeyore

That is a good one indeed, Annie! Good morning!

7:20 am

Anniebrook

hi car. and everyone

7:20 am

movieman

I also like Edward Scissorhands

7:20 am

Trifioso

(I was going to say something crabby, like "b*tching is in the grid?" but decided to just take the compliment gratefully instead. personal growth :))

7:20 am

car.eeyore

Yes! Excellent! Trif had to talk me into seeing that one and I am so glad she did!

7:21 am

Anniebrook

Loved Edward Scissorhands and What's Eating Gilbert Grape is one of my all time favs

7:21 am

Trifioso

I vote for Little Women. I will watch that every single time I channel surf and find it.

7:21 am

car.eeyore

Good girl! Don't forget the alternate spelling and what you did when you were on stage.

7:21 am

Trifioso

which one, car.....edward scissorhands or beetlejuice?

7:21 am

car.eeyore

ES.

7:22 am

7:35 am

no Trif love for Star Trek, though I do think Alex is adorable

7:42 am

uusue2

green tea here, will share :-)

7:42 am

Trifioso

oh, okay! Actually, we were laughing about star trek at adult sunday school this weekend, of all places. someone said their son had reached pon farr, and much hilarity ensued

7:42 am

pabtrek

LOL Trif

7:43 am

car.eeyore

Well...that is halfway for me. I have a ton of work to do, so I am off. Wishing you all a wonderful day or night. {{hugs}} to all who may need one today.

7:43 am

uusue2

7:43 am

pabtrek

7:43 am

Trifioso

NOOOOO - don't go my love!

7:43 am

Mom

7:43 am

Trifioso

7:44 am

car.eeyore

Have to sweetie. Much to do.

7:44 am

Mom

congrats Trif and Car. on halfway

7:44 am

car.eeyore

Bye!

7:44 am

Riverdance

Good Morning everyone

7:44 am

Trifioso

bye love

7:44 am

car.eeyore

Hi and Bye River!

7:45 am

Riverdance

oh...sorry I missed you car...have a good day

7:45 am

Trifioso

"dehat" -- to remove a head covering by force. should be a word, right?

7:45 am

uusue2

hi, river!

7:45 am

Mom

good morning, River

7:45 am

Trifioso

riverdance! so glad to see you! how are the colors in nh this year?

7:45 am

Riverdance

or rehat - to forcibly put it back on

7:45 am

mrpresident

hi river :))

7:46 am

Riverdance

not as grand as years past but pretty anyway...leaves are falling quickly now

7:46 am

Riverdance

((mrp)) how are you

7:46 am

Trifioso

it has something to do with the amount of rain in the summer, doesn't it?

7:46 am

mrpresident

doing ok thanks river. Mid week run around! :)

7:46 am

Riverdance

I think so and we sure had enough of that this summer

7:47 am

Trifioso

yes....

7:47 am

uusue2

I suspect it does, trif; ours are dropping their leaves really fast this fall too - we had lots of rain in the spring, then a really hot and dry (although humid) summer, then a cool wet September (now it has been hot again). I think our trees are as confused as the rest of us :-)

7:48 am

Trifioso

I had a terrible crop of tomatoes this year, that is for sure. some of the vines did not set even one fruit

7:49 am

Riverdance

we had alot of fruit but all plants were rather short...didnt even go over the tomato cages

7:49 am

uusue2

our garden was a real non-event this year - got overgrown really quickly in the spring and then dried out in the summer

7:49 am

uusue2

we did get a couple of very nice winter squash growing in the compost bin, though :-)

7:50 am

Trifioso

mine too uusue. and I think I was a bit overambitious with plantings, and a bit under aware of how much I would be working.

7:50 am

Riverdance

my carrots are tiny...must have been too wet....gotta love compost

7:50 am

Trifioso

so I will try again next year.

7:50 am

Trifioso

cant do carrots, river....I live on a big old pile of glacier trash, with rocks EVERYWHERE

7:52 am

Trifioso

are all the v words vi- please?

7:52 am

Riverdance

we compost as well and put down horse manure twice a year. We did have a banner crop of potatoes this year. We do them above ground in those round bins....you start with very little soil and keep adding as the plant grows. So much better than in the ground with the critters eating them

7:52 am

Trifioso

easier to dig up too! just dump them out

7:52 am

ladycece920

yes they are Trif

7:52 am

Trifioso

many thanks lady

7:53 am

crosshair

yawn...crossy hates monster grids:(

7:53 am

uusue2

hi, crossy!

7:53 am

Riverdance

I guess this is to make up for the 26 of the other day...good morning crossy

7:53 am

Trifioso

oh, crossy dear, there you are! mind if I talk a little shop with you for a tick?

7:53 am

crosshair

suze!

7:53 am

mrpresident

(((crossy))) :)

7:53 am

crosshair

go ahead trif

7:53 am

crosshair

(((MRP)))

7:54 am

Trifioso

My pathfinder needs a whole new front end bumper thing. It's not covered by the warranty, and my neighbor was saying he bought a new bumper for his truck off craigslist and put it on with zip ties and such. what do you think?

7:56 am

crosshair

i have seen it done,but it is a quick fix at best.i know too many friends ripped off on craigs list.you are better off going to a wrecking yard to get a front end,then getting it affixed correctly at your fav mechanic shop

7:56 am

Trifioso

okay. it's such a bummer.

7:57 am

Trifioso

but thank you very much for the advice!

7:57 am

crosshair

then again,we spend 6 months plowing through snow and zip ties do not make the grade

7:57 am

uusue2

I agree, trif - attaching a bumper with zip ties is not a good idea

7:57 am

crosshair

you just lose bumber #2 that way

7:57 am

crosshair

bumper

7:58 am

Trifioso

I did ask how much it would be to have it replaced at the body shop, and its a LOT.

7:58 am

crosshair

those plastic bumper covers we all deal with now have special fasteners and and it is best to get it done right first time

7:58 am

uusue2

is this a car you are planning on keeping for a while?

7:58 am

crosshair

well like i say,go to the wrecker for the bumber itself

7:59 am

uusue2

and is it a second car or do you drive it a lot?

7:59 am

Trifioso

yes it is sue. I haven't had it very long, in fact

7:59 am

Trifioso

and its my first car. right now I am driving primo's car, since he is away, and thank god, or we would all be walking

7:59 am

uusue2

I would worry about the bumper falling off; if that happens at highway speeds you would be in real trouble

7:59 am

crosshair

and did you know,you can get a ticket or a warning for quick fixes like that ?

8:00 am

Trifioso

I could put it through the insurance company, but figure that once I pay the deductible, and then the jump in rates over six years, or whatever, it's cheaper to just pay cash for the repair

8:00 am

uusue2

your rates shouldn't change much for a single claim

8:01 am

Trifioso

but I had a claim this year on primo's car as well....

8:01 am

Riverdance

half way with NBT - time for breakfast - see you all later

8:01 am

Trifioso

well done, river!

8:01 am

uusue2

bye, river!

8:01 am

crosshair

you can get an entire bumper asswembly at a wreckers for 300 or so and another 200 or so to get a proper mechanic to affix it

8:01 am

uusue2

and I must leave too, see you all later!

8:02 am

Trifioso

really? I was quoted over $900 at the body shop, but of course th4 included the price of the parts too

8:02 am

crosshair

thats right..you do not need a brand new part

8:03 am

crosshair

the wrecker is your friend

8:03 am

Trifioso

how do I find a wrecker yard? I mean, what do I search for?

8:04 am

crosshair

phone 1 or 2 up,give them your cfar specs and ask how much for them to remove it and have it sitting there to be picked up(many offer remove it yourself prices as well)

8:04 am

crosshair

car

8:05 am

crosshair

for instance i needed a back door for a car once,i told them all my car specs and they quoted me 2 prices,one if i show up with tools and hunt and remove it myself,and another if they find it and have it ready for me

8:05 am

crosshair

think the entire dorr was 30 dollars

8:06 am

Trifioso

what are they listed under? car salvage? wrecker lots?

8:06 am

crosshair

look up auto wreckers in your phone book or online

8:06 am

Trifioso

thank you!

8:06 am

crosshair

and do not be afraid to phone 3 or 4

8:07 am

crosshair

and have the exact year,make and model of your car ready

8:07 am

crosshair

you want the price to have it taken off the wreck and waiting for you..you might also ask how much they would charge to put it on for you as well

8:08 am

crosshair

now,the newer the car,the more you will pay as there will be less of a later year in a junk yard

8:08 am

Trifioso

wow, I googled it and found a right old list. Not one within 50 miles of me, but I could swing it

8:09 am

crosshair

let your fingers do the walking.pick 3 or so closest and see what they can dig up for u

8:10 am

crosshair

give them the specs,they will wander the lot and see what they have and call you back..say my husband wanted me to get price quotes on this bumper

8:10 am

Trifioso

ah, yes, the old "my husband" requirement.....sigh. what year is it again? LOL

8:11 am

crosshair

sorry,but they will still try to zing ladies with the higher price

8:12 am

crosshair

trust crossy

8:12 am

negativeneil

Oh hi crossy.

8:12 am

negativeneil

At 6:12 am.

8:12 am

crosshair

howdy neil

8:12 am

crosshair

brb,store run..semi poink

8:13 am

Trifioso

thanks again crossy. you are my hero!

8:13 am

negativeneil

Nice to see a sane, reasonable, down to earth person after the bizarre "conversation" I've just had the misfortune to be briefly involved in... ugh. Just... UGH.

8:13 am

negativeneil

Oh well... that didn't last long. lol

8:15 am

Mr Bob

Good morning friends

8:15 am

herinfernallady

Hi

8:15 am

Trifioso

I am so sorry to hear that, neil

8:15 am

Trifioso

hello herin, and bob

8:15 am

negativeneil

Hi Mr Bob and herin.

8:16 am

herinfernallady

Hi back. Neil no point arguing with stupid people you can never really understand them

8:16 am

herinfernallady

ahead

8:16 am

negativeneil

Haha, it's just someone I suspect has probably missed taking a dose of their meds this morning, Trif. Something definitely isn't right there.

8:16 am

herinfernallady

Hey look speaking of stupid (penalty box in under a minute yah me)

8:17 am

doseffing

... never argue with stupid people ... they will bring you down to their level ... and they have more experience there ...

8:18 am

negativeneil

No, I left after the person started an argument out of what had been a pleasant chat, based on nothing but their own invented presumptions about someone they know nothing about [me]... and proceeded to call me "arrogant" when all I did was repeat something they said and ask what they meant, because I wanted to make sure I understood. Trying to be fair, you know? Geez.

8:18 am

negativeneil

Haha, doseffing. That's very true.

8:18 am

Trifioso

I appreciate it, herin, as I had missed that one

8:19 am

negativeneil

I fear I did feel my I.Q. drop several points lower while trying to reason with that moron. I'm sure I'll recover from the experience.

8:20 am

herinfernallady

Trifs I should have just stayed lurking

8:21 am

Trifioso

I am happy to see you in the chog, herin my dear oen

8:21 am

Trifioso

one

8:21 am

negativeneil

You can never totally avoid typing grid words in here. I sent myself to the PB last night just by greeting another Babbler!

8:21 am

herinfernallady

Trifs all good for you?

8:22 am

Trifioso

ooh, neil, I just checked out your profile. Where did you go to college, if you don't mind me asking, and did you study photojournalism?

8:22 am

Trifioso

yeah, herin, it's goodl. mr. h4 left for the old sod today. wish he would do us a favor and stay.

8:22 am

negativeneil

UCSC, for Political Science.

8:22 am

Trifioso

hows you, herin?

8:23 am

herinfernallady

Good about to go to bed.

8:23 am

negativeneil

I did have a journalism class and photography also.

8:23 am

Trifioso

thank you neil. my daughter is keenly interested in photojounalism, so it's good to have someone to ask

8:23 am

negativeneil

But my intention was to become a political writer. Didn't quite work out that way.

8:23 am

Trifioso

we are looking at Boston University at present= they have an excellent program

8:24 am

herinfernallady

How is T handling uni Trifs?

8:24 am

Trifioso

you still could get there if you wanted to, neil. never say never

8:24 am

negativeneil

Although I worked as a temp grad student intern in Washington DC for 3 months in the spring of 2007.

8:24 am

Trifioso

he is ridiculously happy, herin. He picked the right school, and is loving college. I am so happy for him

8:24 am

negativeneil

No. I'm happy with what I'm doing now actually.

8:24 am

herinfernallady

Good good

8:25 am

Trifioso

neil, I would say she is more interested in the photography aspect that really keeping up with politics and such. can the two be separated?

8:25 am

herinfernallady

He must be having a great time FB has been very silent

8:25 am

Trifioso

he is BUSY herin, too! They WORK the first years at his uni

8:25 am

herinfernallady

Trifs Photo-journalism?

8:25 am

negativeneil

I thought you said she was interested in journalism, not politics?

8:26 am

Trifioso

yes, indeed. photo journalism

8:26 am

negativeneil

Or did you mean journalism and photography? It wouldn't be wise to separate the two... photo-journalists are more in demand.

8:26 am

Trifioso

but must she follow politics closely to be a good photo journalist?

8:26 am

negativeneil

Photographs are often needed to accompany articles.

8:27 am

negativeneil

Well no, because not all assignments will have anything to do with politics. But it's a good idea to have a good general knowledge of anything newsworthy, including that.

8:27 am

herinfernallady

Excuse me for being nerdy but does anyone know when the iOS5 for apple is coming out?

8:28 am

negativeneil

Excuse you for being nerdy? I'm about as nerdy and as much of a dork as it gets.

8:28 am

Trifioso

okay, thank you. I do half wonder that with everyone whipping out their phones with cameras every two seconds, photojournalists may go the way of the dinosaur

8:28 am

negativeneil

I'm just not a geek... and that is what I'd call "geekky", not "nerdy". ;)

8:28 am

negativeneil

"geeky" even... geez.

8:28 am

negativeneil

Typos must be excused this early in the morning.

8:29 am

herinfernallady

Trifs a man made a butt tone of cash by using film not digital in the Clinton fiasco

8:29 am

negativeneil

Yeah, cellphone cameras can be a real annoyance.

8:30 am

negativeneil

That was then, herin. This is now. I shoot with a digital camera... most do. Much more convenient. And of course they're better and better quality all the time.

8:30 am

negativeneil

I do have a film camera too though.

8:30 am

herinfernallady

He used Dig and film

8:30 am

negativeneil

But I've had it for several years already.

8:31 am

janejaned

I wish people were able to find peace in themselves and could let peaceful ones to themselves. Wish they could leave their discriminative ways and COMPLEXES and try to listen and understand. Effing up someone's morning mood shouldn't be that easy...

8:31 am

herinfernallady

Well said Jane

8:32 am

janejaned

thanks, nice to know someone understands:)

8:33 am

negativeneil

Funny you should say that. I've just encountered someone like that already this morning... however I'm not letting it bother me. It's their problem... so I just left them to it.

8:34 am

herinfernallady

That just reminded me I have to go to the store and get film processed

8:34 am

janejaned

Well it's too late for me now... Have a minor ache in my stomach

8:35 am

Trifioso

okay, that's all the babble time I have today. It was so nice to see so many lovely friends! oh, how I miss having time to really play!

8:35 am

herinfernallady

Hugs Trifs

8:36 am

negativeneil

Oh? I don't let people like that bother me... if I did I'd probably feel like that a lot, considering how many of them I encounter in various places. Can't let it get to you... not worth it.

8:36 am

negativeneil

Take care Trif.

8:36 am

uusue2

bye, trif!

8:37 am

uusue2

and hi again all, had to reboot my work computer, almost time for class now!

8:37 am

herinfernallady

Hi Sue

8:38 am

negativeneil

Hi Sue! :)

8:38 am

janejaned

Yeah but I can't help it..And even though I'm pretty upset, I would want it any other way..I think that is my problem I care about people and their arrogant ways.

8:38 am

negativeneil

Almost time for me to return to bed and try to get a little more sleep. :P Haha!

8:39 am

janejaned

Yeah judging and putting stamps on people is the easiest, the virtue is in understanding and making amendments I guess..

8:39 am

janejaned

Thanks for listening anyways...

8:39 am

herinfernallady

Bye all

8:39 am

janejaned

alwaysaguest

8:39 am

janejaned

:)

8:40 am

janejaned

bye

8:43 am

negativeneil

Oh I don't. If someone is presumptuous and ignorant enough to accuse me of being "arrogant" just because I'm well spoken, and wanted to make ridiculous assumptions about me... including that I'm a "paparazzi" without even knowing me in the least, that's their problem. Yes, someone was actually that unreasonable with me in what had been a pleasant chat, until they made a statement I didn't understand. Then my asking what they meant to try and be fair, resulted in being called "arrogant", etc. Interesting. Takes all kinds I guess?

8:44 am

negativeneil

Uh huh. I figured it was that idiot who just got very nasty with me in a chat on OMGPOP for no reason, when we were having what I thought was a pleasant chat... take note everyone! The person I mentioned when I came into the chog? That's him/her/it.

8:44 am

negativeneil

So obsessive, they even followed me here to try and continue the argument they started for no reason. Amazing. Some growingi up needed there I'd say if not some serious psychological help.

8:45 am

negativeneil

Uh, "growing up" even... too early for accurate typing, geez.

8:45 am

janejaned

8:45 am

d calls themselves well spoken

8:45 am

janejaned

nd very mature

8:45 am

negativeneil

Oh, so you apparently can't count either?

8:45 am

negativeneil

Grow up.

8:46 am

negativeneil

Yes, thank you. That I am. You on the other hand, stalking someone obsessively as you are, are not.

8:46 am

janejaned

if growing up is what you have done i'd rather stay as a child

8:46 am

negativeneil

You're acting like a moron, yet think you're not going to look like one? Ok.

8:46 am

janejaned

no, I was already on the site

8:46 am

negativeneil

I haven't done anything. That woudl be you.

8:46 am

janejaned

when you first gave me the link

8:46 am

janejaned

then I saw what you wrote

8:47 am

negativeneil

Starting to insult me and try to create an argument for no good reason, when we'd been having a pleasant chat? Yeah, ok.

8:47 am

negativeneil

Yes, what I wrote was simple fact.

8:47 am

Riverdance

OK kids....this is supposed to be a nice place...relaxing....getting away from it all....

8:47 am

janejaned

I didnt insult you

8:47 am

Riverdance

and good morning

8:47 am

ladycece920

i'm sorry to intrude but babble is a safe place, this does not feel safe to me.

8:47 am

negativeneil

And what you are doing right now is stalking me and trolling, which is not well tolerated on here, FYI.

8:47 am

janejaned

sorry guys

8:48 am

negativeneil

I left our chat because I did not intend to engage you in the argument you wanted to create. I'd had enough before it got a chance to start, thanks.

8:48 am

ladycece920

OK, enough.'

8:48 am

negativeneil

No, ladycece. I'm sorry but this clearly obsessive, deranged stalker has followed me here from OMGPOP.

8:48 am

negativeneil

I'm about to email Dr. God to have it removed.

8:49 am

janejaned

:S yet you still go on spewing all this insults

8:49 am

negativeneil

RED ALERT

8:49 am

ladycece920

probably a good idea neil.

8:49 am

Riverdance

both of you just STOP

8:49 am

Marmar

take it off line guys...

8:49 am

negativeneil

You're the one who was doing that, to me. That's why I left. Now I wish you'd just leave. Nobody asked you to follow me here and start your crap.

8:50 am

negativeneil

Marmar, it followed/stalked me here. I'm emailing Dr. God to have this troll removed.

8:50 am

Riverdance

neil...stop...it just keeps it going

8:50 am

Marmar

I understand, but it's so uncommon here, unnearving!

wish you lived down here LBD, a local bookstore is moving into where Borders use to be and they are hiring the people who use to work there

10:43 am

stidmama

I am sorry, LBD -- I have one job lined up for Friday, but nothing so far this week. It has been frustrating to sit here -- hurt my arm a couple weeks ago so shifting boxes and such is out of the question for now -- so I have been indulging my babble addict more than usual.

10:44 am

Mom

we love having you here Stid, but so sorry about your arm

10:44 am

lbdawger

thanks, sadie, ahh, mom wish i lived there too! poor stiddy. owie on the arm!

I miss Borders, have had to go to Barnes and Noble a couple times, and I really don't like that store as much. I liked the fun, quirky, knowledgeable folks at Borders.

10:45 am

sadie52

ouch stidmama that hurt I bet good luck also on job hunt

10:45 am

stidmama

thanks -- the arm is getting better, but as usual when I "push" it sets me back. I am learning patience the hard way. On the PLUS side... I have been getting a lot of training time in for subbing, too. And it really helps me when I go in to classrooms.

10:45 am

lbdawger

B&N is very conservative, likes to cater to the "intellectuals" read that as snobs.

10:45 am

3:43 pm

bethn

thats a doer stidg

3:44 pm

stidgmere

Ty bethn. I had lunch at home and am seeing a misty afternoon with yellow honeysuckle leaves falling.

3:47 pm

bethn

it is rainy here and cool, after 5 days of 80 degree weather. i guess fall has truly arrived. Several of our trees are starting to turn, then comes the raking

3:48 pm

stidgmere

We pray for wind (the neighbors probably pray for a northwind, we want a southwind.)

3:50 pm

bethn

hahahahahah....we live at the bottom of a slight hill we get everbody's leaves. i always threaten to put up one of those orange mesh construction fences to block them

3:52 pm

stidgmere

We get the weather first and then it goes inland to Idaho and Montana. We get the rain and they get the leftovers. Meanwhile it is quite peaceful in our part of the country.

3:53 pm

bethn

where are you at stidg?

3:54 pm

stidgmere

NW of US. Washington.

3:54 pm

bethn

friends just moved to seattle, they love it there

3:56 pm

stidgmere

The gray months (those are the ones with an r in the name) plus June, July, and August tend to get on peoples' minds. But after awhile, we forget about the heat and humidity of other parts of the country and are quite smug.

3:58 pm

bethn

i used to think i would miss having 4 seasons, as i get older and winter approaches i am not so sure, i could probably live quite nicely with only three

4:00 pm

stidgmere

For us, the season this past year was so uniform that I keep looking around for summer but realize it is time for Halloween. So, I got out the decorations and bought new orange towels with pumpkin faces and candy corn themes.

4:02 pm

bethn

i used to decorate for all the holidays, my back is not in good shape now so hitting the attic for the decorations is not in the gameplan I have candy corn towel envy :)

4:03 pm

stidgmere

When I saw the candy corn towel, I was like a kid in a candy store and was ready to buy it at any cost. It was half price.

4:05 pm

bethn

ooooh very hard to resist half price. I have to restrain myself from buying new each season thus alleviating the need to go into the attic for said decorations.

4:07 pm

gapeach

Come on down to GA bethn. The winters are very nice, only need a sweater. My bones like it here. LOL

4:07 pm

stidgmere

We don't have an attic. We have storage under the eaves and the doors are easily accessible. When I retired from teaching, I purposely did not bring home all possible holiday decorations.

4:09 pm

stidgmere

We are being told our winter will be like last year's winter. Snow, cold, storms. So I bought a new popcorn popper. I think we're ready.

4:09 pm

bethn

i can close my eyes and see colorful leaves, pilgrim hats, flowers all the things that used to be on our bulletin boards when i was a kid. you are the model of willpower and restraint

4:09 pm

Oh, I also have a bedroom (not any more) that has boxes of really good stuff. Some of it is from my mother and grandmother and great grandmother and none of us could throw it away. Family photos and the like.

Sue... you will probably keep those 7 lbs off. Usually if you lose weight quickly, you are inclined to put double back on again even more quickly

4:27 pm

I wish we still had a group, but people move away, etc.

6:31 pm

periwinkle

gap is that your e-maill addy in your name

6:31 pm

It might be easier to start one now....I think more people are aware and are interested. In CT there were ads in the paper and signs in a lot of places.

Peri, add 23 to the numbers and that will be it.

we used to meet at Borders at first and then at people's homes. we meet several times in my apt cause it was midway from most folks. but now I live with my sis and bro in law

6:39 pm

gapeach

A lot of people who are into health food and such are more apt to be aware of Reiki.

6:40 pm

periwinkle

I wonder if the church where I volunte4er for the food pantry would let us use space in the parish harll. will ask. but I need to find some reiki folks around here.

6:41 pm

periwinkle

I put up an ad in the whole foods market and/or trader joes. both are near me and then ask the church

6:41 pm

gapeach

Most people who advertise charge for treatments....that is something I could never charge for. Is there a newspaper that you could put in a line or two?

6:41 pm

periwinkle

I am considering being re-attuned.

6:41 pm

periwinkle

I do charge for a reiki session

6:42 pm

periwinkle

there is a free booklet in whole foods but I would need to pay for ad . might just be easier to post a flyer

Hello all.

7:06 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Hi JM. You know, I forgot to finish that 26 word grid. I never got the ch's.

7:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

David Sedaris reads on the radio show and writes books.

7:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

He's sort of a commentator.

7:07 pm

MollyL

Hi Wht

7:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Which reminds me of one of my favorite dumb jokes. Why didn't the Idaho potato let his daughter marry Harry Reasoner?

7:08 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Cause he was just a common 'ta***.

7:08 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Almost put myself in the PB with that one!

Kaplan the Magne

No---I didn't quite get into the PB, did I?

7:11 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I didn't say it.

7:12 pm

MollyL

Did you all know that some people get offended by the PB thing? I read some chat about that the other day. Isn't it obvious that it's a joke?

7:12 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I was really really close, but my word had an O.

7:14 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I think it's sort of like saying the secret word on "You Bet Your Life."

7:14 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I like the food in the PB so I'm not offended.

7:15 pm

BzznBea

Why do thye find it offensive?

7:15 pm

lil*monkey

who the hell is offended by the PB?

7:15 pm

MollyL

I've always thought of it as a humorous reminder to not post words in the chat log. Hey Lil.

7:15 pm

lil*monkey

That is just retarded, and I'm sure I just offended someone by saying retarded, and I don't care.

7:15 pm

Hi Bea

7:15 pm

I'm offended that they're offended. I find that offensive.

7:17 pm

lil*monkey

Whaaaaaat???? How do you turn chat off?

7:18 pm

Shirlockc

well when we have trolls it's not worth having the chog

7:18 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Why Molly- has chog been bugging you? And have we been getting a free pass on words like th4?

7:18 pm

MollyL

Kap, sorry got called away. Normally I wouldn't call you out for th4 but for it to be in a message about how you missed the PB was just too ironic to miss.

even if you need to be in the PB.

7:19 pm

lil*monkey

I love the PB

7:20 pm

I love it when trolls are here and people pretend there is an ignore button.

I will send you a FB message about it

7:21 pm

And I love how Molly always calls out the ones who pretend there is an ignore button.

7:21 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Now I wanna know. It's like being in middle school.

7:21 pm

How do they pretend there is an ignore button

7:21 pm

Hi everyone!

7:21 pm

The one after th4 is the place to see plays

7:21 pm

lil*monkey

Do they type <ignore> like that?

It's just dumb Bea. And people think they are out of the loop because they don't know about it.

if lickety's clues are brought up, the page can be minimized and moved over to cover up the chat.

7:22 pm

MollyL

No Lil, they tell people to click on the IGNORE button and to "check their email" for how to do that. Of course there is no email.

7:22 pm

lil*monkey

From now on, if certain drama-makers are in the chog, I'm going to type <ignore>

7:23 pm

lil*monkey

I really don't care who is offended *hmpf*

7:23 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I really think that taking comments in a chatterbox seriously is overheated.

7:24 pm

lil*monkey

yes Kap

7:24 pm

MollyL

There is actually an ignore feature on most message boards where you can have certain people's comments blocked from your view. I would love it if they had that here.

7:24 pm

periwinkle

I would like that too, Molly and hello all.

7:24 pm

oh me too Molly! I imagine we might have some of the same "ignores" on our list

9:14 pm

Minveryork

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

9:14 pm

crosshair

best way to keep a fire going in the rain is to have a good base of coals,and set up a longer log on a line of rocks about 2 feet high and as it burns you can feed it into the flames..you can get flames very high this way

9:14 pm

negativeneil

Oh interesting, dawger.

As I said I don't live in the states so I have no idea on your supermarkets and stores

9:15 pm

herinfernallady

Camping is over rated

9:15 pm

uusue2

right, once you have a big enough fire the rain won't put it out. getting it started in a downpour can be annoying, though

9:15 pm

for big parties we used to have 15 foot long logs and support them on picnic tables and feed it to the flames

9:16 pm

9:16 pm

I'm amazed a fire can keep burning in the rain, Sue?

Making me miss SC badly already.

10:33 pm

mrpresident

thongs there are g-strings here... i suppose cause they only cover your g-spot!?? LOL

10:34 pm

Uh, considering how innacurate I've found some of the pages on there to be, Jellen, I wouldn't say so.

10:34 pm

negativeneil

Haha, mrp!

10:34 pm

negativeneil

They sure don't cover much.

10:34 pm

10:34 pm

jellen, our kids are not allowed to used wiki in any assignments

10:35 pm

negativeneil

Good plan, mrp. There's a lot of misinformation on there.

10:35 pm

Jellen

Yup.

10:35 pm

mrpresident

on all assignment booklets it states:
Please DO NOT use Wikipedia. This is not a reliable source of information.

10:36 pm

DR1965

we dont use it either

10:36 pm

negativeneil

No kidding. I've found several inaccuracies in the pages of some people I know... wonder who posts that info?

10:37 pm

Jellen

You can edit the information yourself...that's the problem...

10:37 pm

negativeneil

Yep.

10:37 pm

Jellen

The best Wiki articles have links to authoritative sources.

10:37 pm

negativeneil

But apparently they hadn't... other people who didn't know the facts did it.

10:38 pm

negativeneil

Of course, Jellen.

10:38 pm

lbdawger

I can't remember which news show had a segment on wikipedia, but they were saying they found all sorts of inaccuracies in it.

10:39 pm

lbdawger

one anchor said it was like a facebook or myspace bio page, filled with stuff that could be made up and no one the wiser.

10:42 pm

Yep. I've found all sorts of inaccuracies in it. So that doesn't surprise me.
