Hello Sprite. So tell me, if you are sick to your stomach of it, why you had to drag what was a private email conversation into the chog? Bit hypocritical of you, yes? Maybe you should take your good friend MollyL's advice, and save your bitching and moaning for email?
You really are living in some kind of fantasy land if you think you were expected to "rejoice" in that information anyway. What a warped point of view you have.
But then, I guess you'd have to be pretty warped to complain about other people complaining about Babblers. No wonder you're known as "spite" in certain circles. *rollseyes*
And as far as Haz not trying to control what people talk about in chat, or never having a bad word to say about anyone? Just because none of you have seen it doesn't mean it never happened. I've seen plenty of vicious nastiness from her directed at people I know. And that nonsense about how she "withdraws in dignity" from conflict? I've seen her cruelly bait people into conflict with her. Nothing dignified about that. And if she'd had sufficient dignity to refrain from copying and pasting stuff that was said about her in the chog in her player profile - stuff she roundly deserves - none of this drama would have unfolded. I would suggest she is the one who needs to be told to take that whining to email, and keep it out of her profile.
****************
Saturday, October 29
4:20 am sprite: someone sent me that piece of chat, expecting me to rejoice in it. Am still sick in the stomach when I think of that.
4:21 am sprite: I think in chat it is extremely important to stay respectful and to realise you don't 'see' the face and don't 'hear' the voice.
4:22 am carleekat: i just try ( not aways succeed) to shut up where applicable
4:23 am dizgrannie: I 'hear' what you are saying Sprite...maybe we need a tongue in cheek smiley thingo..LOL
4:23 am sprite: yeah that is of5 a good way to go.
4:24 am sprite: we do, dizgrannie, we do! And especially people with Haz's kind of humour :D
That british thing does not always translate to chat, alas.
4:25 am MollyL: Name calling in chat is not acceptable. I don't care whether you "like" a person or not. And there was a whole lot of the pot calling the kettle black in that "slam session".
4:25 am sprite: *seconds Molly wholeheartedly*
4:25 am marigold: ol
4:25 am dizgrannie: LOL Sprite, thats why I don't say much, cos our Aussie humour is very dry and others take offense
4:26 am carleekat: like i said... i also saw what instigated that outburst... and it was not nice either...
4:26 am sprite: oh what a shame, dizgrannie, because I LUV aussie humour! I game with a couple of aussies and they sometimes make me almost pee my pants.
4:26 am carleekat: nor was it appropriate... and i agree...luv aussie humour
4:27 am sprite: carlee, no, not nice, but direct. And I think it is true that some subjects have been proven very divisive in babble.
4:27 am MollyL: Am I missing something from the archive of that day? Has something been deleted? Because I read the whole thing and I don't see anything that merited what was said about Haz.
4:27 am carleekat: it was a day or so before molls
4:27 am carleekat: around flip i believe
4:27 am carleekat: and yes i think some stuff has been deleted if i recall
4:28 am dizgrannie: thanx guys, but sometimes we have to explain and it sorta takes the humour out of it (if you know what I mean)
4:28 am sprite: lol yes diz. Same with my own humour. Sometimes it just doesn't 'play'.
4:29 am Kallia: oh I'm a great one for foot in mouth...
4:29 am Kallia: morning all
4:29 am carleekat: but i might be wrong...
4:29 am sprite: tongue in cheek and foot in mouth... small wonder babblers are so flexible. Hi Kallia.
4:29 am Kallia: why I don't chat much :)
4:30 am carleekat: i'm not here often now...
4:30 am MollyL: All I can say is that if people want to bitch and moan about people they should do it in email or private correspondence and leave it out of chat.
************
I have to say I haven't seen this much sanctimonious, spiteful, passive/aggressive backstabbing here since NancyBoy died. Take your own advice please, "ladies" (and I use that term very loosely here) and keep your "bitching and moaning" and your own "slam sessions" about other Babblers out of the chog. Hypocrites. *thumbs down*
3:17 am
sprite
Fauxmage, I am totally not interested in your point of view. Go play somewhere else if you think we are hypocritical
3:19 am
sprite
speaking of which... hypocritical is also your blurb just now combined with your profile text ""Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." ~ Philo". But that aside. Leave me in peace, I don't know you and really want to keep it that way.
3:20 am
sprite
dizzie, did you find the related E words to your recent i words too?
3:21 am
dizgrannie
yea thanx spRite, had them earlier...K's Komplete

Kway to Kgo!

3:24 am

it's kind of funny to have a grid of 200+ words with not a single 8.
3:26 am
dizgrannie
true, I saw 212 and thought OMG then saw the stats
3:26 am
sprite
lots of 'person(s) who' for 6s, but I guess you will have most of them already. I don't have any really uncommon 6s yet.
3:26 am
sprite
lol yeah, same for me, I looked at the stats, blinked, then looked again.
3:28 am
sprite
55... slowing down now!

Okay Babblers. I usually don't say much any more in the chog. I feel I have to speak up...
3:31 am
dizgrannie
go right ahead gramma
3:32 am
gramma
Oinker isn't a word? Really? If oinker isn't a word then my whole life has been a lie! I can't take it anymore
3:33 am
dizgrannie
you're right Gramma, what else does one call a pig...lol
3:34 am
dizgrannie
but if one uses a D at the end.....
3:34 am
gramma
Oh, I bet you thought I was going to comment on the hideous and embarassing dialogue. ;)
3:35 am
gramma
Oops (as she ducks her head in shame) didn't see the past tense or I wouldn't have drawn attention to it.
3:35 am
dizgrannie
wouldn't worry me if you did...don't really care...but if you want to contribute...go right ahead...lol
3:37 am
gramma
No thank you. I've seen this sort of upheaval before and it actually upsets me. So I'll keep my nose to the gridstone.
3:38 am
dizgrannie
fair enough, I mostly ignore it..all cyber b/s to me. It is real life one has to worry about.
3:38 am
gramma
I come he** not to
3:40 am
gramma
If hokie isn't a word, how can you do the hokie pokie and what's it all about?
3:41 am
dizgrannie
LOL Gramma, my g/kids know not to worry me too much when I am playing Babble. Eldest (11) loves playing, and now we have 2nd puter hooked up, she made her own ID etc and plays when she's here
3:42 am
gramma
You're very lucky they're close enough to know not to bug you.
3:43 am
sprite
sorry, I got sidetracked! Hi gramma, yeah, shocking isn't it!
3:44 am
sprite
I think it was more of a monologue, actually, gramma.
3:45 am
gramma
I only have 2. I see them every week. I used to keep Ellie Sunday and Monday for what became affectionately known as Grammy Day. She's in school full time now, so I have the wee one, Madeleine. Instead of grammy day it's Maddie Day.
3:45 am
dizgrannie
LOL Gramma, they sometimes sit here and watch, youngest 2 often find 3 letter words that help me to bigger words. They think its great.
3:45 am
gramma
hi sprite 8)
3:46 am
sprite
it must be wonderful to have grandchildren. I kind of hope I will some day.
3:47 am
gramma
It's ok. (she says with a smile)
3:47 am
dizgrannie
I have 5 but 2 are in another State, but we talk often on Skype....the other 3 are close by and for now I have them early morning till school as their mum has a new job.
3:48 am
gramma
I would Love that.
3:49 am
dizgrannie
Sprite, just wait and you'll soon find out the wonders and errr regrets of g/kids.
3:50 am
sprite
*grin* I bet! Although you can never predict what your children will do, I have hopes for my daughter... she is crazy about children and I would be really surprised if at some point in time she wouldn't try to have them.
3:50 am
dizgrannie
I have eldest g/dtr nearly every w/end as a break from her little bro who is ADDHD/OCC.
3:51 am
dizgrannie
Sprite,how old is your dtr?
3:51 am
sprite
that is so good... I can imagine her needing time and attention alone.
3:51 am
gramma
Have her open a day care. She could love them and get rich instead of drained. ( Do I sound bitter?)
3:51 am
sprite
my daughter is 13 now. She is NOT allowed to think about kids of her own for a long time, lol.
3:52 am
dizgrannie
LOL Sprite, we should hook your dtr and my g/dtr up as penpals
3:52 am
sprite
aw gramma *hug* Yeah, a little bitter. But not without cause, I bet.
3:52 am
gramma
I love my family. I love my family. I love my family. I love my family. I love my family....
3:52 am
sprite
oh that would be great, dizzie. I am sure my daughter would love that.
3:53 am
dizgrannie
Gramma, dunno what to make of your comment at 3:51???????
3:53 am
sprite
how about: I love my family. Even when I do not love their attitude/actions, I love their persons. ;)
3:54 am
gramma
It was a sick attempt at humor.
3:54 am
gramma
I really do love them and I know they love me.
3:54 am
sprite
humour is a grand thing. Even black humour. It helps us relativate, grin.
3:56 am
sprite
is that even english, I wonder now? Relativate? See things in perspective, I meant.
3:56 am
gramma
I'm going to get a little coffee and regroup. I told you in the beginning, I don't chat much anymore. Now you know why. ( misunderstood, she slinks off with her head hanging low )
3:57 am
sprite
aw gramma, please come back to chat whenever you want. I like your humour.
3:57 am
gramma
Relativate! I love it. I wrote it down to use or abuse as the case may be. BRB
3:58 am
dizgrannie
hey Gramma...I always liked the song from Monty Python...ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE.....we all have ups and downs and that song seems to spring to mind for me
3:58 am
sprite
fee fee... feefee, feefee, feefee!
3:59 am
sprite
I so remember those feet of the people on the crosses... tapping in time to the music.
4:00 am
dizgrannie
okies Sprite, if we want these kiddos to hook up as penpals, how'd we go about sending email addies etc, without the whole world knowing?
4:01 am
dizgrannie
LOL Sprite, hubby found the video in a 2nd hand shop and recorded it on DVD for me.....PERFECT!
4:02 am
sprite
my email addy is in my profile. bin _ there at planet . nl
Just leave out all the spaces. If you drop me a line and your g/d addy, I will give it to my daughter. Is that ok?
4:02 am
dizgrannie
yep will do
4:03 am
sprite
they are gonna have a ball, lol, I just know it.

4:16 am
dizgrannie

4:16 am
sprite
roflollllll oh priceless.
4:17 am
dizgrannie
is there a place where one can look up time differences? eg to find the best time to skpe or whatever if they want to?
4:17 am
dizgrannie
*skYpe
4:18 am

you are 10 hours ahead of us... will tell her that too. Though with email things are never a problem.
4:18 am

I bet there is. Will google, let's see.
4:18 am
gramma
If you can say "I boated over to New York last night." Why couldn't you have taken your ark? I arked over instead. More biblically speaking.

Happy Halloween to everyone!!!!!!

gramma, I think it might even be a sin that it is not valid!
4:20 am

hiya rubyfoo :)
4:20 am
sprite
hey movie my man!
4:20 am
sprite
I tried it too. Twice, in case it bounced because of a typo.
4:21 am
dizgrannie
we can create our own dictionary
4:22 am
rubyfoo
I'll never have grandchildren -- DIL doesn't want kids and I only have one son :( May I borrow a couple?
4:22 am
gramma
I have in my head
4:22 am
sprite
wouldn't that be fun. We'd have to check all the babble chogs for all the brilliant words we invented.
4:22 am
gramma
I put in all kinds of words I know are real. (To me anyway)
4:22 am
dizgrannie
Ruby you can have my 9yr old g/son
4:23 am
sprite
mine are still ghosts of baby future, sorry ruby!
4:23 am
dizgrannie
he's ADDHD/OCC and a little terror but fantastic for anyone but his Mum
4:24 am
rubyfoo
it is too bad I never had a daughter; after all, A daughter is your daughter all of hr life, your son is your son, until he takes a wife!
4:24 am
sprite
oh so do I, gramma! I am so happy Babble does not register all the not-valid tries. I think I type it 3x as much words as the grid size demands. Or more.
4:24 am
gramma
Back to basics now. Bottom left E for nbt. Please?
4:24 am
sprite
err bottom left as in bottom right?
4:24 am
gramma
Of course. Your other left.
4:25 am

I'm seeing 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' for Halloween!!!!!
4:25 am

eo 6 and eo 4
4:25 am

Van Dijk's left, we call that here. My husband always mixes them up, lol. For the bottom E, it is 3x ei words.
4:25 am
rubyfoo
at midnight, of course! what costume are you wearing, moviem
4:25 am
dizgrannie
eo 4, it takes years
4:26 am
sprite
they all come from the middle E, the eo words, lol. For the bottom, it is EI
4:26 am
gramma
my eo years came from the middle E
4:26 am
dizgrannie
oopsie, can never remember
4:26 am
sprite
it did not, lolll.
4:27 am
sprite
it is easy to remember, but hard to spot for me. Words always come from the first tile they can be made from, going left to right, top to bottom.
4:28 am
sprite
bottom E: ei5/18, ei7/44, ei6/30, all related.
4:29 am
gramma
Well they're not related to me. How may possibilities can there be?
4:31 am
sprite
greek words, actually. Think of the little picture next to our names and be creative with it ;)
4:31 am
gramma
Got 'em. ty
4:32 am
sprite
dizzie, how about this site:
http://worldtimezone.net/
4:32 am
rubyfoo
O thought that was avatar.....lol
4:33 am
sprite
hehehe :) Yes, that is true. An avatar is a picture you pick out to represent you on the web (one of the meanings of the word anyway). The word I meant is more general. Can be any small pic.
4:34 am
rubyfoo
just kidding
4:35 am
sprite
sorry... school teacher genes. I apologise for lecturing :)
4:37 am
rubyfoo
this is a fun grid
4:37 am
rubyfoo
if it only had a t, there would be a million words!
4:37 am

I agree! Last bit seems a bit slow, but with me chatting, mailing and googling, that is probably to be expected.
4:38 am
rubyfoo
the queen of multi-tasking
4:38 am
sprite
indeed, ruby :)
4:39 am
sprite
*smug* now that you mention it... I AM multitasking! And it isn't driving me crazy and things turn out pretty ok... it is a milestone, ruby ;)
4:39 am
dizgrannie
I is still here, Sprite, thanx, looked up that sight.
4:40 am
rubyfoo
I have a large lizard who has taken up residence in my studio
4:40 am
rubyfoo
He is so beautiful and comes inside in the mornings
4:40 am
gramma
If I only had a brain
4:40 am
sprite
glad you are still here :)
It has the zones and the times. But I wish I could find an easier overview.
4:40 am
rubyfoo
he sleeps under the door jamb
4:40 am
sprite
oh ruby! Can you make a picture? Lizards are nice.
4:40 am
rubyfoo
if only I had a heart....
4:40 am
sprite
gramma, I have one and believe me, the darn things are overrated.
4:41 am
gramma
sing it, girls
4:41 am

ah, same on that one, ruby ;)

dizgrannie
Gramma..Brain??? Wizard of Oz...LOL

we had beautiful green ones with red throoats in Miami. These are brown and black and a little bit blue, less pretty but I love them anyway
4:41 am

If I had a hammer...
4:41 am
gramma
I'd hammer her in the morning
4:41 am
rubyfoo
and you were a carpenter...
4:42 am
dizgrannie
and I was a lady
4:42 am
gramma
I'd be a nail
4:42 am

evening all :)
4:42 am
rubyfoo
i'd be a crooked bookshelf lol
4:42 am
dizgrannie
hammer, nail and lump of wood, I'll build a dols house.
4:42 am
sprite
I once read a quote in dutch, that translates as: "If your only tool is a hammer, you are inclined to view every problem you encounter as a nail."
4:42 am
dizgrannie
*dolls
4:43 am
dizgrannie
lol, in other words belt it over the head
4:43 am
rubyfoo
that's a great quote, sprite, and probably sounds wonderful in dutch
4:43 am
gramma
Er um, we were just having a very intelligent conversation. Don't look back. I'm sure it's over your head
4:43 am
sprite
nah it just sounds dutch, lol. But I agree, it is a great thought.
4:44 am

rubber hammer = great sleeping aid for kids and grownups alike

4:46 am
mrpresident
i tried to convince the darling daughter not to go up to Hillbillie Avenue, but she insisted!!
4:46 am
sprite
rubyfoo, we don't have lizards here I think, it is too cold. Though not as spectacular, we do have frogs in the garden. Tiny ones in spring, and now they are so big!
4:47 am
dizgrannie
OMG what happened
4:48 am
mrpresident
the Hillbillies teased her... gave her a hard time. She took offence and the rest is history. What do you expect from 14-15 year old boys??
4:48 am
dizgrannie
Oh shyte!!
4:48 am
mrpresident
typically, they wanted her attention. idiot boys
4:49 am
sprite
we also have loads of sparrows. Common birdies, but they are so much fun. Cheeky, playful and so cute.
4:55 am
mrpresident
i can't spend my time critisizing the bringing up of other people's nasty, bad children, but it is free to look upon those that do with righteous condemnation! :))
5:00 am

I cannot find the en5 for the life of me. Please, can I get a clue?

Oh! I hadn't even got that. Told you I'd only just started. Now I must go and hang my head in shame!
6:20 am
uusue2
obviously I am not awake yet. Time to do some exercise, maybe that will get the blood flowing to my brain.
6:20 am
scouser
A minor infringement I think. Just a single piece of toast. No shame in PB, just nice food instead.
6:23 am
debjed
any clues for the bottom right E?
6:25 am
scouser
Hello uusue2 you have most interesting profile. I studied physics and some astrophysics (as distinct from astronomy) with the Open University as part of my degree. I still object to the acceptance of 'emfs' : we always had to say it as the letters in sequence not as a word.
6:26 am
scouser
debjeb : I think it was the word for long ages without an a at start
6:27 am
lynxxx
ei5.18, ei7, ei6...ei & another brand of camera - ***ica
6:27 am
scouser
Once we get fireworks we cant tell which word was which: in this case there are two ways to get that word
6:29 am
scouser
thanks lynx
6:29 am
debjed
thank you lynxxx and bye scouser
6:35 am
scouser
I just found out if I go to another screen and back the fireworks disappear and I get the counting-grid back again. Must remember that.
6:35 am
uusue2
hi scouser, glad you like my profile! and I agree with you about the emfs!
6:37 am
scouser
It sounds more like a word to go with harrumph. Perhaps physicists use it instead for disgust?
6:39 am
uusue2
well, I never have. Interestingly we only use the acronym now when teaching students, as the full name tends to confuse them (it's not a force)
6:41 am
uusue2
and now I must get ready for my day - be back later!
6:42 am
scouser
Ah that's a good point... I have to go now but hope we can chat again some time.

No. He is only 8. but he is TERRIFIED of Halloween : (
8:13 am
uusue2
thanks, car! I sent Frank out to buy candy last night, and I see that some of the bags have been opened - I suspect my son had a bit of a treat last night!
8:13 am
uusue2
oh, bummer, car!
8:14 am
car.eeyore
We had another lovely morning of fighting because he did not want to go to school and hear about everyone's scary costumes, decorations, etc.
8:14 am
car.eeyore
I had to call the teacher and ask her to keep it to a minimum....I feel for him but c'mon!
8:17 am
uusue2
what about it bothers him, car - he's just scared of all the images?
8:18 am
car.eeyore
Twice he was frightened while out trick or treating. I get it. He doesn't like it. But it is out of proportion.
8:19 am
uusue2
My son was afraid of masks for a long time, and still doesn't like clowns (he's 21!) - it's funny what can set them off!
8:19 am
Anniebrook
car. how old is he?
8:19 am
car.eeyore
Yes...but if people talk about masks...does he fall apart?
8:19 am
car.eeyore
He is 8...almost 9...and Happy Halloweeen Annie!
8:21 am
Anniebrook
HH to you too, car. Oh, he is so young, maybe someone frightened him. I can understand his being so afraid. Halloween is scary.
8:21 am
uusue2
ok, off to work - giving my classes an exam today *evil professor grin*
8:21 am
MollyL
What is it with clown fear? I have never gotten that.
8:22 am
car.eeyore
He did get really frightened twice. The first time was out T&T-ing and a guy was dressed up sitting on his porch. All the kids thought it was a dummy. But of all the kids...he reached out and grabbed poor Zach.
8:22 am
flosey
car, was he ever bullied by bigger boys? happened to my son and his buddies one year
8:22 am
car.eeyore
Last year, we were T&T-ing and there were some older kids that had a really scary setup. We were doing our best to avoid it, when a junior high age kid jumped out from a bush and tried to grab him and drag him over to the house.
8:23 am
Anniebrook
car. THAT did it! I dont blame the poor kid...I would be afraid of Halloween too.
8:23 am
flosey
next house they went to were very understanding and took them in for a bit
8:23 am
car.eeyore
I totally get why he is frightened and does not want to go T&T-ing, but it is morning, the sun is shining, no one is in costume at school...he just is afraid of the other kids talking about their costumes, decorations, etc.
8:24 am
Anniebrook
car. I can understand it...he is projecting about what is to come at night.
8:25 am

The answer to all your problems is in this little bottle. Vitameatavegamin. Yes, Vitameatavegamin contains Vitamins Meat Vegetables and Minerals. Yes, with Vitameatavegamin, you can spoon your way to health. All you do is take a great big tablespoonful after every meal. Mmmmmmm..... It's so tasty, too! Tastes just like candy! So why don't you join all the thousands of happy peppy people and get a great big bottle of Vitameatavegamin tomorrow! That's Vita-meata-vegamin! (wink)

Hi Nef. I have 48 to find and have Babble Blindness.
2:30 pm
Nef
slow work day; or are you off?
2:31 pm
Scrabbler
Waiting for next patient. Oh, I see that they just arrived 15 min late. I am at the Indian Reservation and there are no-shows and late arrivals.
2:31 pm
Nef
I have 144 left; I've been on the phone for over 45 minutes and haven't been working on Babble
2:32 pm

It's been easy so far. No odd words.

I have a medical question...
2:32 pm
MollyL
Hi Jellen, cute icon : )
2:33 pm
Jellen
Thanks, Molly!
2:33 pm
Scrabbler
Of course. Dr Scrabbler is here. 5 cents for a consultation.
2:33 pm
Jellen
UTI. Burning. Help!
2:34 pm
Jellen
Oh, not 5 cents a word...
2:34 pm
Scrabbler
Drink lots of fluids, pee a lot, and you need a urine culture done. Did you call your doc?
2:35 pm
Nef
OUCH! Did you see a doctor yet? Push (drink) lots of fluidsYou need a culture first before treating
2:35 pm
Jellen
Yes, I've called. Gone through a cipro series.
2:35 pm
Nef
And they cultured it first?
2:36 pm
MollyL
So, no truth to the idea that cranberry juice helps with that?
2:36 pm
Scrabbler
You need another culture--you may have a resistant organism if you have been on antibiotics recently.
2:36 pm
Scrabbler
You have to drink a LOT of cranberry juice to acidify the urine, and that is a lot of sugar.
2:36 pm
Nef
pyridium helps with the burning (uri stat is the OTC name); but a culture should be done before you take it
2:36 pm
Scrabbler
BRB, need to see kid.
2:37 pm
Nef
there are also cranberry pills that can change the urine pH
2:38 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Ah, pirydiuum. I remember those days.
2:39 pm
Nef
And the really important thing is the drinking of liquids (esp. water) -- at least 2 quarts!
2:39 pm
Nef
pyridium will turn your urine bright neon orange
2:40 pm
MollyL
Oh that must be what my friend takes. She's told me about the bright orange pee. How fun! : )

I just read a medical article that urinary incontinence is one of the health problems that goes unreported and untreated the most often. Both men and women have problems with it and it costs up to $800 million/year
2:52 pm

That Depends, Nef.
2:52 pm
Nef
LOL! Good one, Kap!
2:53 pm
MollyL
Oh Kap, Ruru would be so proud!
2:53 pm

I'd teach my preggers patients that they could do them up to 100 times/day; it's an exercise that you can do anytime and anywhere and no one knows you're doing them

damn space bar
2:58 pm
Kaplan the Magne
You have to do them regularly. They do work, but now without consistency
2:58 pm
Nef
yes, smoove; but you really have to be consistent with doing them
2:58 pm
Jellen
Bye, Scrabbs
3:00 pm
Nef
smoove, the Kegels are for a weakened pelvic floor. If there are other problems (such as over-active bladder); then some other things are necessary too. #1 thing is cut out the caffiene (it's a bladder wall stimulent)
3:03 pm
Jellen
Could I have stats for a word from the bottom right E, please?

Or maybe he's not a Make-Up kinda guy, Molls.

hey all, working on a small variant of the chicken "pot pie" I usually make on October 31, didn't feel like doing the whole cook it all and then brown it in the oven after. Nothing like a nice hot meal on a cool evening. It was sunny all day long, so cooler during the day than normal.

Crossy.... I love your name for Mrs Crossy. Elegant says it all!

<---------- wondering why all the children are going on the other side of the street and not our side. :-(
5:29 pm
Mom
everyone knows the best candy is on this side of the street
5:29 pm

Maybe they're being methodical, and will work their way back Mom...
5:29 pm
Mom
I agree with Soodle,Crossy
5:30 pm
uusue2
me too, crossy!
5:30 pm
Mom
I hope so Champ, I would hate to have to eat this myself
5:30 pm
Soodle
You betcha, Champ. The kids have probably got a strategy that would baffle any army general!
5:31 pm
Mom
I don't think so .... they are going back up the street. I even have the lights on.
5:32 pm
ChampFit
good grief! crazies!
5:32 pm

silly kids. they'll be sorry :-)

after they were gone,any stragglersgot those candieswrapped orange paper
5:36 pm

It's a shame you can't give out home made treats anymore. Those were my favorites as a kid. We even had a house that gave away home made doughnuts.
5:37 pm
ChampFit
You can't do home made anywhere anymore...schools, etc. Bummer.
5:37 pm
MollyL
Soodle, we didn't get enough snow to care about. North of here got slammed. I heard Dorens is without power.
5:37 pm
Soodle
Why can't you give home-made?
5:38 pm
ChampFit
And of course I'm in the south...it's 76 as we spesak.
5:38 pm
uusue2
my alma mater (in western MA) had to shut down because there was no power - students had to stay in the dorms, which were running on generators
5:38 pm
uusue2
they will resume classes tomorrow, though
5:38 pm
crosshair
here it is 33f and we have had a light dusting twice now
5:38 pm
ChampFit
At schools they don't want to risk germs, contamination, etc. It has to be pre-packaged.
5:39 pm
MollyL
And the nut allergies, and the gazillion other allergies that never were a problem when I was a kid.
5:39 pm
carleekat
no snow here yet..thank god...snow tired go on tomorrow
5:39 pm
uusue2
ok, I am taking the last set of homework home with me to grade (seems only fair)

5:40 pm
MollyL
As for treats at Halloween, parents won't let their kids eat anything that isn't factory packaged. Too many nuts putting bad things in home made stuff.
5:42 pm
Soodle
Oh, for heavens' sake. How in al that's holy did any of us survive? We got dirty, ate blackberries straight off the bushes, drank water from wells, and hey!! We are all still here to tell the tale.
5:42 pm
stidmama
hey again. it was a dead possum...
5:42 pm
ChampFit
Swam in ditches.........
5:42 pm
JBV
I tried giving out non-candy treats a few times - kids hate that, though -
5:43 pm
carleekat
dead possum?
5:43 pm
stidmama
and as a person who is allergic to many very common foodstuffs, I only eat things that are clearly labeled unless I really know the cook very well or the restaurant has a reputation for keeping things straight.
5:43 pm
uusue2
Frank is the same way, stid - has to be super careful
5:43 pm
Soodle
How lovely, Stid.. A dead possum always adds a certain je ne sais quais to Halloween
5:44 pm
Mom
I'm back ... we have had 8 little ones so far
5:44 pm
stidmama
When we lived in apartments and had trick or treaters I gave out cool stickers, little games/toys and occasionally fancy pencils. They were always appreciated.
5:44 pm
Mom
hello Stid and Tceicher
5:44 pm

i just stay away from pink fruit anything ( allergic to strawberries and i dont carry an epi pen)
5:44 pm

5:44 pm

we had one that died in our small outdoor pond over the winter, killed all the fish
5:44 pm

5:44 pm
JBV
I had a little tiny one tonight, no more tham two years old - I gave him pretzels and there was a cardboard insert in the pretzel bag, like a coloring book page, so I gave him that too and he looked right at me and said "I don't want to color!" (The mom accepted it :)
5:45 pm
carleekat
that would yes sue...
5:45 pm
stidmama
I didn't want it getting washed into the culvert and clogging it...
5:45 pm
stidmama
yes -- and I didn't want Lucky getting exploratory.
5:46 pm
stidmama
anyway, have to recharge the computer, go get the younger kid, and then come back and peel the pomegranates from my aunt's yard for tonight's treat for the boys.
5:46 pm
Soodle
JBV - if a man don't want to colour, he don't want to colour.... (at the risk of repeating myself... the ungrateful wretch....)
5:46 pm
stidmama
I am glad that it's Monday so the boys are not tempted to be away from home today, the pretty much missed the last two years' family dinner. Oh well...
5:46 pm
stidmama
LOL soodles!
5:47 pm

5:49 pm
Soodle
JBV.. count yourself lucky you won't have a16 yr old festooned with green balloons calling to your door, seeking treats. (earnestly hoping daughter no2 wont cross the Atlantic tonight...)
5:50 pm
JBV
green balloons? I hope she's wearing some clothes under them, soodle!!
5:50 pm

it was kind of amazing to see the trees bowed down and bent over with the weight of the snow - a branch that hangs over the roof of my sunroom was on the ground - bounced back though

well, not really too awful, MOm - since there is no damage, thank goodness - but I have to figure out how to get that branch out to the street - it's huge

jbv, it might take a tree trimmer to come cut it in pieces to haul to the curb
6:43 pm
JBV
I think you're right, Mom - and I guess it wouldnt' be a bad idea to trim some of the bigger branches that are hanging over the garage - just a precaution

This would have been a significant storm in the middle of winter but because the leaves were still on the trees the damage is much greater.
6:58 pm

This is a demonstration on why trees shed their leaves in the winter.

Rules for Halloween for Seniors
You know you are too old to Trick or Treat when:
10. You keep knocking on your own front door.
9. You remove your false teeth to change your appearance.
8. You ask for soft high fiber candy only.
7. When someone drops a candy bar in your bag, and you lose your balance and fall over.
6. People say: 'Great Boris Karloff Mask,' and you're not wearing a mask.

5. When the door opens you yell, 'Trick or...'.and you can't remember the rest.
4. By the end of the night, you have a bag full of restraining orders.
3. You have to carefully choose a costume that doesn't dislodge your hairpiece.
2. You're the only Power Ranger in the neighborhood with a walker.
And the number one reason Seniors should not go Trick Or Treating...
1. You keep having to go home to pee.

You're welcome Button. Weird words.

Molly, I am a minister so you would think I would see a Hebrew word like that but i have looked for 30 minutes.

i was thinking next year should be good because there are so many 1 year olds on my block this year
8:56 pm
Nef
hi dan2. It makes me wonder if the tradition is dying out?
8:56 pm
wvteach
We have a house in the next block that goes all out with decorating and people come from all over for that house so we always get people parked everywhere and lots of kids.
8:57 pm

I think it all depends on the neighborhood - we have a lot of retired folks and first generation immigrants
8:57 pm

I was at the grandkids house to hand out goodies while they were out and they had about 40 - 50 kids. They are in a small subdivision. My husband covered the "goodies" here at our house
8:59 pm
EvaNadine
we were still on our honeymoon last year, so we missed it.
the 2 years prior, we lived in an apartment + kids didnt go there.
this year, i had my running class tonight, so i missed the beginning. we had no candy + were totally unprepared, but hubby ran out for a few bags. all gone now!
8:59 pm
Nef
I went out onto the street, the 1st 5 houses on our block from a fairly busy street are all lit up (that includes our house) and have jack-o-lanterns and other decorations out to invite the kids; and only 3 kids showed.

I used to *have* to finish every grid; but now - a few years after about a year of no Babble at all- I look for smaller goals
9:24 pm
jmcnrick
was that a self imposed no babble at all nef?
9:27 pm

sort of. Between knowing I was too hooked to Babble and not doing the things I had to; I jsut decided I had to quit for a while
9:28 pm
JenMO16
i understand that nef
9:28 pm
JenMO16
i need a stat for the first e in the second row down and the middle n on the bottom
9:29 pm
jmcnrick
i admit that when i first started babbling i did it a lot but i was mainly having stress in my life that didn't let me sleep then
9:30 pm
jmcnrick
but there was a great deal of fun in getting to know the different groups of people
9:30 pm
JenMO16
how about the e in the lower right corner?
9:31 pm

unfortunately some people have allowed themselves to be driven off the chog because of some junior high school shenanigans

shdybr8,I'm bummed out that I bought way too much candy for Halloween.I bought 80 treat bags and gave out only 25. Too bad I can't save bags until next year
9:53 pm
jmcnrick
you can freeze candy min--when my son used to bring home pounds of it i would freeze it
9:53 pm

gotta be more like me, Min, (i.e. big pushover) i tell them to grab a few, they grab a few few's! fun for all
9:55 pm
Nef
Min, we had all of 3 (THREE!!) trick or treaters tonight. DH had bought 3 bags of chocolate and I thought it wasn't enough (I think we had close to 60 kids last year). I'm bummed too
9:56 pm
shdybr8
here (baton rouge) we mostly get kids from other neighborhoods, parents bring them in a car and only let them walk a house or two. Sad statement about BR, but great for those kids whose parents care enough!
9:58 pm
shdybr8
thanks to all who cared about my Bear, he is doing amazingly well - staggers to the left a little, but crazy well.
9:58 pm
jmcnrick
your bear? is that one of your dogs?
9:59 pm
shdybr8
yeah, jmny, he had a stroke a week and 1/2 ago, he's 14 and big
10:00 pm
jmcnrick
oh dear i am glad he is doing okay! my last cat had a stroke and i was surprised how well she got over it
10:00 pm
Nef
we have nice weather tonight; there were 5 houses lit up and decorated on both sides of the street right off a busy street; I can't think why there weren't any kids
10:00 pm
Nef
I'm so glad bear is better, shdy
10:00 pm
jmcnrick
it is such the luck of the draw nef
10:02 pm
jmcnrick
well i am tired and have to get up to drive to an 9 am meeting so i think i will call it a night with 163 left
10:02 pm
shdybr8
ty, nef, sorry about the trick-or-treaters! Can't believe Bear's recovery, he is down to 40 mg of prednisone every other day now (starting tomorrow),can't believe how strong my boy is
10:02 pm

I was a ho5/12 and ho 5/14 in on the grid when I got home from work. It took me ae 5/10 just to find 158 words so I gave up on grid. Even though I am no way ne 4/4 done, he 4/5 is a story of clues for those who ne 4/5 it to help them se4/8 more words.My husband is av 6/27 to Babble. In fact, he is not ke 4/8 on the idea of babbling at all. I have pleaded with him to try to play the game, but he will not conce4/6.My please have fallen on deaf ea 4/4. My husband is not so 4/5 on babbling.He does not understand the sh5/12 joy I get from babbling. He's le4/4y about me babbling. He is scared I will meet another man in the chog. I have told him that he won't lo 4/4 me to another in a chat room and that I love him with my heart and so 4/4. I haven't he 4/6ed his warnings about my babbling so I have to sneak in my babbling. If he catches me, then I am up the cr5/20 w/out a paddle. Sometimes he will open the office door unexpectedly and he scares me. I look at him like a de4/5 in headlights. I really should not feel this way though.I have ea4/4ed the right to Babble. Sometimes I want to stick my sh 4/5 right up his ar4/4. Husband ne 5/12 the computer. I think he wants be a se 6/21 and plants se 5/12 on his farm in Farmville.Wish that I could sh5/14 his farm to pieces I am going to look for next ei 5/18 and then give him the computer. I hope you have found more words, at least the easy on4/4. Goodnight to my fellow babblers

10:25 pm
jesdraggon

10:25 pm
stidmama
glad to hear!
10:25 pm
jesdraggon
frustrated that people think it's okay to lie to my receptionists, but other than that pretty good :)
10:26 pm
jesdraggon
how're you?
10:26 pm
stidmama
sorry about people who aren't truthful
10:27 pm
lbdawger
hi stiddy!
10:27 pm
stidmama
I am well, jes -- no work today, but maybe tomorrow and since it was lovely (sunny, warmish) and I had energy to do some things around the house which was nice.
10:27 pm
stidmama
hey lbd! how are you? no snow yet in your neck of the woods, I hope
10:28 pm
jesdraggon
oh, day off is nice :)
10:28 pm
Nef
hi stid. Glad to hear you had a good day
10:29 pm
lbdawger
i'm doing well. i'm in Denver right now. trying to collect some furniture and stuff from my dad's house. weather was beautiful today in the 70's
10:29 pm
stidmama
:-) well, after two weeks unavailable because of travel I wouldn't mind the work, but yes a day off is lovely too!
10:29 pm
stidmama
glad to hear you also had the nice weather LBD
10:29 pm
stidmama
hey Nef
10:30 pm
jesdraggon
70s? wow. I think it got up to 37 here...
10:30 pm
stidmama
At least we have a little put aside that will last until I get regular work. I am considering adding another district to my substituting list, and putting my name out as a tutor as well.
10:30 pm
lbdawger
spose to get some bad weather tomorrow night and wednesday. but then melts off and we're heading home.
10:30 pm
lbdawger
yeah, i think that front is suppose to be coming this way, jes
10:31 pm
Nef
DId your dad pass away, lbd?
10:32 pm
stidmama
I hope that you are able to get the things you value, LBD -- it's hard to decide sometimes, as I found when the one grandmother passed away.
10:33 pm
lbdawger
no, nef. my dad moved to a retirement center, and we're trying to clear out the house to sell it
10:33 pm
jesdraggon
stats for the e lower right?
10:34 pm
stidmama
thanks jes, I can officially sit near you and not have asked for the one I still need...
10:34 pm
lbdawger
ei5, 7 and 6
10:34 pm
Nef
ei 5/18, jes
10:35 pm
stidmama
with my other grandmother, I had time to think about what I wanted while they tried to sell the house to pay for her nursing home.
10:35 pm
stidmama
thanks LBD and Nef
10:35 pm
lbdawger
what's hard is, my sisters wanting me to take it all, and i have the smallest house!
10:35 pm
jesdraggon
thanks :) nbt
10:35 pm
Nef
I'm glad to hear that your Dad moved, lbd instead of passing away. Sorting through stuff is tough enough
10:36 pm
stidmama
we wanted the most and had the smallest space, too!
10:37 pm
stidmama
go jes go!
10:37 pm
lbdawger
yes it is, it's hard to remind everyone that it's still his stuff, and our relocating stuff is just that relocation.
10:38 pm
Nef
by Thanksgiving we will have to take Aunty's household furnishings out of storage; and I still don't know what to do with it all. I really can sympathize with you lbd
10:38 pm
stidmama
Granny didn't know that we were emptying and selling the house, but I thought perhaps it would have soothed her to know that her things were being cared for.
10:38 pm
lbdawger
you might want to consider an estate sale, Nef.
10:40 pm
lbdawger
my oldest sister dug up three roses, she said she just didn't want mom's roses going to someone else. guess who gets to move them to montana?
10:40 pm
stidmama
the people who did the estate sale for the one grandmother took care of everything from pricing to setting up to donating the items that didn't sell. It was helpful to my grandfather.
10:40 pm
stidmama
I hope they make the transition, LBD -- I suppose the climate is similar?
10:41 pm
lbdawger
yeah, the company we talked to said they'd do the same thing. but we may have a buyer who is interested in some of the furnishings.
10:41 pm
Nef
her sister called me today and told me to get rid of her big TV (which is old and probably dying as Aunty used to say the picture would shrink (never when I was there though). Her sister also told me that Aunty's beds were better than mine and I should keep them! (she IS the "bossy" sister of the 5; and the only one left at 92 yrs)
10:42 pm
lbdawger
i just hope our ground wont be covered in snow when we get home! so hubz can plant them for the winter hibernation.
10:42 pm
lbdawger
gotta love the bossy sisters!
10:42 pm
Nef
(((lbd))) good luck
10:42 pm
stidmama
oh, five sisters! I bet that was a lively household!
10:42 pm
lbdawger
thanks, Nef
10:43 pm
stidmama
can they hibernate in the garage in a garbage can?
10:44 pm
lbdawger
i have no idea what hubz will do with them. probably put them in buckets and store them in the basement, or in the lean-to...we'll see.
10:49 pm
stidmama
there. just past halfway. eyes tired, I think I will bag it for tonight. Sweet dreams everyone, don't eat ALL the candy in one sitting! LOL *poof*
