6:28 am
mrpresident
sorry, not 'o', but 'l'
6:28 am
Anniebrook
thanks for the ae ending
6:28 am
mrpresident
ahhh, a bit of greek or latin never hurt anyone :)
6:29 am
Anniebrook
no, that ae ending finished the F;s for me
6:29 am
mrpresident
the gl7 has the L ending
6:29 am
mrpresident
perfect annie! :)
6:31 am
mrpresident
I still remember being totally stunned by our school principal teaching us latin.
we were so well behaved and perfect in that class and took in every word she said!
6:32 am
mrpresident
she could read and speak latin like a pompenian lady of the house!
6:32 am
Anniebrook
really a lost language....do you remember much of it?
6:32 am
fuzzybunny
Mr. P, you are a lucky girl for having learned latin!
6:33 am
fuzzybunny
I have always wanted to learn Latin
6:33 am
mrpresident
I do annie! we were taught the language on the back of english... told how many of the words came from latin
6:33 am
mrpresident
thanks fuzzy! I really enjoyed Latin, and it was facinating cause we also learnt the culture and heritage
6:33 am
Anniebrook
yes, it does help with language.
6:34 am
mrpresident
we were also taught Egyptian and Greek.
6:34 am
fuzzybunny
I had a Russian teacher that taught us both the language, culture and history, great class
6:35 am

6:36 am
periwinkle
bye for now
6:36 am
mrpresident
it is important to learn the culture and heritage/history of a language!~
6:36 am
fuzzybunny
I imagine Slovanian is not that much different than Russian.
6:36 am
fuzzybunny
bye Peri
6:36 am
mrpresident
not at all fuzzy! slovak is the root of the eastern european languages
6:37 am
mrpresident
i could understand chec, russian, polish etc, just from the slovaki I learnt
6:38 am
fuzzybunny
I know that I can help Polish speakers in a pinch when they don't speak english, it isn't pretty though!
6:38 am
mrpresident
hahaha! same here fuzzy! the root is the same, but the dialect is so difficult!
6:38 am
fuzzybunny
Maybe I will go back and study slovaki, at least it would not be like learning a whole new language.
6:39 am
fuzzybunny
I truly want to learn a Chinese dialect, I also speak French poorly
6:39 am
mrpresident
oh fuzzy! I speak french and german poorly... very poorly, but can understand it better
6:40 am
Winter.River
No school today, fuzzy?

if it's going to be near freezing, I very much prefer snow to rain - very cold rain is my least favorite weather, I think
8:06 am
Focal
I agree with you there!
8:06 am
uusue2
although sometimes we get really bitter cold weather here (-30C or so), I don't like that much either

Good morning, Babblers.
8:13 am

How is BabbleRabble these days?
8:13 am
o-o
Hurshy, if you are here, I just listened to a the margaret farley lecture by the franciscan friar on the value of life
8:15 am
o-o
I am so so ... the short days and darkness affect me.... thanks for asking and hope you are well and smiling
8:16 am
hurshy
oh hi brabble!
8:16 am
Concepta
My mothers name is Margaret Farrelly, how bizarre
8:16 am
hego
Babble always makes me smile. : )
8:16 am
o-o
Hello, hurshy
8:17 am
hego
Except when it drives me crazy.
8:17 am
hurshy
i don't remember having a franciscan friar. what year was it from?
8:18 am
hego
Keep the lights on BR
8:19 am
uusue2
hi BR, you are colder than we are for sure! We are at 10F with a wind chill of -2, positively balmy :-)
8:19 am
o-o
The 2010/2011 Margaret Farley Lectureship took place on April 11th. Daniel Sulmasy
8:19 am
hurshy
oh i didn't realize he was a friar! i don't often get to go to the lectures myself. perhaps i should watch that one, was it good?
8:20 am
o-o
Dr. Sulmasy, a Franciscan Friar, is the Kilbride-Clinton Professor of Medicine and Ethics in the Department of Medicine and Divinity School at the University of Chicago, where he serves as Associate Director of the MacLean Center for Clinical Medical Ethics.
8:20 am
hurshy
i edit and upload the videos without ever having to see most of it (i just cut the applause which is startlingly loud). it's kind of sad really.
8:20 am
o-o
I had to really pay attention but I enjoyed it
8:20 am
uusue2
must go get day started - I don't teach until 3:30 but I am not at all ready...
8:21 am
hurshy
maybe i'll watch that today.
8:21 am
hurshy
that's so cool though to actually know that someone i know watched a video i uploaded!
8:22 am
o-o
the lecture is controversial and more applicable to theists, in my opinion
8:23 am
hurshy
well academics never mind being controversial amongst themselves because mostly they know how to disagree in a friendly manner, unlike politicians these days.
8:24 am
o-o
What is kinda cool is how the friar is at odds with his church
8:24 am
hurshy
ah but who isn't really? :)
8:25 am
o-o
Hard to tell what the church stands for anymore
8:25 am
hurshy
esp catholics. the catholic church is so insistent on being ri5 that it just begs you to disagree with it!
8:25 am
o-o
You keeping busy?

8:38 am
jmcnrick

For those of you who have a daily commute to work of a 1/2 hour or more, I highly recommend audio books. It is a great way to add to your reading/listening time.
11:13 am
crosshair
westford,i have more titles floating in my mind than i will ever use,but www.goodreads.com will also keep track of what you have read and what your likes and dislikes are
11:13 am
Riverdance
right now I am reading Silent Thunder by Iris Johansen - not sure I am crazy about it though
11:14 am
crosshair
and the rule of thumb is 33 pages..give a book 33 pages and if you still cannot get into it,then it is not for you
11:14 am
Riverdance
geez - boss is looking for me - just got here and have to go
11:15 am
MollyL
I will give a book the first chapter. If it has not captured me by then, it's not going to.

The late rebellion in Massachusetts has given more alarm than I think it should have done. Calculate that one rebellion in 13 states in the course of 11 years, is but one for each state in a century and a half. No country should be so long without one. -- Thomas Jefferson in letter to James Madison, 20 December 1787

I have a friend who is 38 and she lives alone. She slipped and fell in her shower and couldn't get up for a few moments, only because the fall stunned her. In those few moments, she was horrified at the the thought of rescue workers breaking in to assist her while she lay there naked. She takes her cell in the bathroom with her now. : )

Anyone a fan of Sarah Jessica?
6:46 pm

designing women is a knockoff of the golden girls. but i love them anyway. they are on 6 times a day here on the tv guide channel. and kap, i cannot stand SJP
6:46 pm
rururocks
I used to like her.. but this fashion thing she's into completely turns me off

It just seems like if you're going to focus your career on appearance, you should at least look like Elizabeth Taylor.
6:48 pm

Sarah Jessica Parker makes me gag.
6:48 pm
rururocks
currently I'd have to agree molly.. she's not really a great actress all her parts are the same person

Who voted Jennifer Aniston the world's most beautiful woman, or something like that?
6:49 pm
Uneaixoise
ugh, true, ruru
6:49 pm
MollyL
I laugh on a regular basis that Sarah Jessica Parker considers herself a "fashion diva" and she just fails in every outfit she wears.
6:50 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Hey- did anyone see the picture of Snookie without makeup? She looked like a cute young girl!
6:50 pm
MollyL
Gag factor increases exponentially at Jennifer Aniston. Another no talent.

speaking of gossip mags, I have a hair appt tomorrow and will get the latest installment of my hairdresser's post-divorce behavior.
6:58 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I need a barf emoticon here.
6:58 pm
MollyL
Kap, do you get extra special, in depth details because she knows your profession?
6:59 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I think I do, actually, Molly.
6:59 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I wish I had said I was an electrician.
6:59 pm
bichon
I'm missing something here. What is your profession Kaplan?
6:59 pm
MollyL
Or a systems analyst. She wouldn't talk to you at all then.
7:00 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Hairdressers should get the same supervision about boundaries that psychologists do.
7:00 pm
bichon
My hairdresser will never talk about politics or religion
7:00 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Remember, the client with the dye setting in her hair is a captive. Don't abuse the privilege!
7:01 pm
MollyL
The only thing I have done to my hair is color. And I found the one person at my local salon who will not yack my ear off the entire time she is doing it.
7:01 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I wish mine would.
7:01 pm
bichon
We talk about children and grand children
7:02 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I once had a quiet hairdresser. She was great but she left the business. I don't mind yakking about the tabloids or my kids or movies, but I do NOT want to hear about her sex life.
7:03 pm
MollyL
Oy, Amen to the boundaries comment.
7:03 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Why do I not go elsewhere? Because this is a recent phenomenon, and I had been going there for years with no problem.
7:04 pm
MollyL
Why oh why do people find that appropriate conversation with a relative stranger?
7:04 pm
bichon
Wear a sign "Please ask me about my boundaries"
7:04 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I think she just assumes we are friends because I am friendly. I am hoping that her sister (who owns the salon) tells her stop disclosing.
7:04 pm
MollyL
Oh Bich, that would make a great t-shirt.
7:05 pm
Good Enough
my boss (female) shares. eeewwww

Okay, I just had a water accident because of Bich's mistaken typing in the chog. Hilarious!
7:05 pm

Yes, Kaplan
7:06 pm
rururocks
what's wrong with fl5?
7:06 pm
bichon
Nothing, I just earned my way to the PB
7:06 pm
Kaplan the Magne
You knocked over your water glass?
7:07 pm
MollyL
Oh, and by the way, it is now politically incorrect to refer to an article of clothing that is beige or tan, as flesh colored. Just so y'all know.
7:07 pm
bichon
Speaking of which, I had lunch at the Cheecake Factory today. Came home and took a 2 hour nap
7:07 pm

That's been true for a while, i.e. Crayol

7:08 pm
MollyL
Well, you know, I live under a rock, so I am slow to learn such things.

It SHOULD be incorrect to assume fl5 is fl5.

There is no real life.
7:16 pm
MollyL
McCurl, I heard you all are getting hammered with awful winter weather. *Sends cinnamon rolls, hot chocolate and fire wood*
7:16 pm
Kaplan the Magne
So you might as well stay in Hawaii.
7:17 pm
MollyL
Forgive me Bich, I have not had a vacation in more years than I want to say. But I dream.
7:17 pm

You can turn on the TV and take a trip to the Jersey Shore.

Thanks molly; feeling a little better now that hubby is home; roads so trecherous wish post office would think out the safety of their people like so many others do. No school for me again tomorrow--makes 4 days this week (not counting monday's holiday)

the weather is lovely up here, actually -- and all those pesky trees that needed pruning are getting pruned for free. And the little critters that thought it was spring are disillusioned. And... *sigh*

McCurl -- we could have a virtual tea party tomorrow. Here in Babble. We'll serve coffee, tea, lemonade, hot cider, hot cocoa, and mulled wine. With little sandwiches and cookies. And we'll wear dainty hats and ladylike gloves.

We didn't get as much as Seattle, but tomorrow is another story -- snow and freezing rain. Neighbours had planned a long drive to Parksville for the weekend :-(
7:43 pm

I hate driving in the snow
7:43 pm

the worst of it has been the freezing rain, I think. It makes it all very very dodgy on the roads.

Saw some pics of the mcleary building that collapsed. I hope it's easily replaced.
7:48 pm
mcurlschool
it was a "playshed" building that collapsed under the weight of the snow...had a flat roof
7:48 pm
jillibus
building collapsed? Heavy snow the cause?
7:49 pm
mcurlschool
thank goodness it wasn't the school building itself since they just finished a total remodel last year---just an old playshed
7:49 pm
jillibus
you're without power, stid?
7:49 pm
stidmama
oh, flat roofs are the worst. followed by roofs that have a gully in the middle. kids were taking bets on capital's roof collapsing again
7:49 pm
stidmama
not at the moment, jill -- Mother still is, though.
7:50 pm
stidmama
oh dear, big lag
7:51 pm
jillibus
oh dear! We're lucky here in that our particular area has partial underground wiring so we are often spared outages -- unless a tree falls on the main supply line.
7:52 pm
jillibus
your capitol's roof collapsed? When?
7:52 pm
stidmama
years ago jill -- not this time
7:53 pm
stidmama
and it was the high school, not the capitol building
7:53 pm
jillibus
Oh -- I wondered -- your capitol building has a dome, right?
7:54 pm
stidmama
yes. it's problem is that it shifted in the 2001 earthquake. Took a long time and a lot of money to make it safe again.
7:56 pm

Flat roofs have been illegal here since 1922, when the Knickerbocker Theater collapsed due to snow load, killing hundreds. All roofs must have at least a 5% pitch since then.

I was able to babble with ea4/4 until I got 176 words Then I did not feel like continuing.Now here's a story ri 4/7 with clues for you to brow4/8.La 4/4 Sunday I watched the Golden Gl 6/30 Awards. I wanted to see who would win for the ro 5/10 they portrayed. Most of the women looked gorgeous. Nobody wore gl 5/18 of make-up.I always say le4/4 is more.Nobody looked like a sl4/6 either.Nobody looked too ob5/14 in their dresses. Some women wore dresses with slits that sh 4/9ed off their le4/6, which I'm sure the men og4/6d at.Some people wore dresses that had a sa4/5. Some people wore earrings that hung off their ear lo 5/14. But I was agh 5/16 when I saw Sarah Michelle Geller's dress. It was so ugly! Many gi4/8d that dress. There were no women there about to give bi 5/16. The men al4/4 looked good.I wish Colin Fi5/18 had been there I like him. Out of the 2 fo4/7, Elton John & Madonna, I am glad Madonna won.Sh4/5 so much more talented than Elton John. Did you see the look on Elton John's face over his lo 4/4? He looked like he just wanted to shoot Madonna with a ri 5/16. I am glad he lo 4/4! He deserves it after boa4/4ing he would win.La4/4, but not le5/10,there was the host, Ricky Gervais. I must confe4/7 I do like Ricky Gervais,although some don't I'm sure some of the celebrities were gr4/6ting their teeth hoping that he would not insult them.I thought his jokes were not too gr5/14. Although I know he gr 7/36 some people out.When it was all over, nobody la 4/5ed out at him for being offensive. Hubby is about to ha 6/21 me about the computer. He ha 7/32 me all the time when I am babbling. Now I am going to go do something el 4/4 like watch the film Horrible Bo 6/24.

That's about the pitch on our roof, too. It's not enough for the kinds of snows that are common north and ea4, but is enough for this.

8:51 pm
lbdawger
okay, but adjourn to tvland with hubz. see you all tomorrow! good luck with the grid!
8:51 pm
wht
doffit, the order is somewhat traditional. New Hampshire has a state law that says their primary has to be before any others. But the order of the rest changes from time to time as the states try to get candidates to campaign in their states.
8:51 pm
dofith
Yes, I should go too. Hub's gone to the beach and I should be washing a dish or something. At least I don't have to water the garden! Thanks for the chat. I'll kill a roach or two for you'll tonight! And have a swim in the Indian, too!
8:52 pm

Many states don't want the elections so late that the race is decided and no one cares.
8:52 pm

Thanks, wht. New Hampshire - Live Free or Die!, right?
8:54 pm

Or Live Free and Die. At least as far as the lack of a law requiring motorcycle helmets.

We will become a republic one day - I doubt that we'll take the U.S. system of electing a president - more likely go for someone nominated by joint sitting of parliament, I think.
