Did everyone get out to look at the spectacular moon?

1:11 am

rbud

I did, it was a lovely moon. we were driving back from dining out. very nice!

1:11 am

DR1965

1:12 am

rururocks

was bill clinton with you?

1:14 am

jillibus

I tried to take a picture of the moon the other night -- it was spectacular even though not quite full. Had lit up the clouds and the tree branches added spooky interest, but it didn't turn out. Should have done a time exposure but I had just woken up at about 3 am and didn't bother.

1:15 am

flosey

I'll download now, bbs

1:15 am

jillibus

My one puff of weed was long before the Clinton days (daze)

1:15 am

It's a lovely moon. I am down to 22 words. But tired.

1:27 am

flosey

extend re6/18

1:27 am

flosey

the witty response

1:27 am

jillibus

don't have that yet, flosey -- I'm allergic to re words

1:27 am

rbud

the re6 is also, I think, a word describing a container used in chemistry for distilling, doubt if that helps, lol

1:28 am

jillibus

now yer talking, rbud -- got that re6, lol!

1:29 am

jillibus

nbs now too -- ty flosey and rbud

1:29 am

flosey

wtg jilli

1:30 am

jillibus

did a lot of chem and biochem at university, rbud, lol!

1:30 am

rbud

well, that explains that! glad I could help.

1:31 am

jillibus

the wit made me think "riposte"

1:32 am

flosey

understandable

1:36 am

rbud

I recall the re6 from chem in college, too, I always thought it was kind of odd, so it stuck in my head

1:36 am

rbud

not much else from chem did, though, lol!

1:41 am

rururocks

I did a lot of chemicals earlier in life.. but not quite the same way

1:42 am

rururocks

in case you were wondering where I got my weird sense of humor.

1:46 am

jillibus

We used to sing this back in the 1940s:

1:46 am

jillibus

Cocaine Bill and Morphine Sue

Now Cocaine Bill and Morphine Sue
Were walking down Fifth Avenue

Chorus:

So honey have a [sniff] have a [sniff] on me.
Honey have a [sniff] on me.

They came to a drugstore painted green
Outside was a sign said "No Morphine."

They came to a drugstore finished in oak
The sign outside said "No More Coke."

From Broadway to the state of Maine
They search in vain for more cocaine.

So in the river side by side
They both committed suicide.

Now in the graveyard on the hill
Lies the body of Cocaine Bill

And in that graveyard by his side
Lies the body of his Morphine Bride.

The moral of this story goes
There aint no future in snuffin' snow.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
If the coke don't get ya, the morphine must.

1:48 am

jillibus

We thought the whole idea of such drugs was stupid -- but booze was something else.

1:49 am

scouser

to go back to the chem re6 - I have one in a cupboard here. I think it was named for its shape.

1:49 am

rururocks

... funny jilli

1:49 am

flosey

clever one jilli

1:49 am

rururocks

I maybe have one cocktail a year

1:50 am

2:53 am

Glantarell

I planted some broad beans (fava?) three weeks ago - they never fail, but this year there's no sign of them germinating

2:53 am

rubyfoo

I haven't even looked at the potager, which is down below. It is so marshy down there, I can't imagine we'll have any strawberries or raspberries this year

2:54 am

rubyfoo

2:54 am

Glantarell

2:56 am

rubyfoo

I planted it in the most sheltered part of the garden and it had grown very large and had to rounds of fruit every year. I think the warmth in (I think) Feb, followed by a very cold snap, did it in

3:29 am

rubyfoo

3:29 am

grannyrose

such a shame, ruby, when we see our loved ones fade before our eyes

3:29 am

sprite

3:31 am

grandy

3:32 am

grannyrose

hey grandy

3:32 am

rubyfoo

how old is he, grandy?

3:33 am

grandy

yes, it is.. one never knows from day to day what will not work next.. he is 67... it is limb onset and he can still talk and breath. He was a stocky muscular man and now they are like indents. humor gets us through most days.

3:33 am

grannyrose

ruby, for goodness sake, give him his campari, and get back here

3:34 am

rubyfoo

happily, he's still out walking Ruby

3:34 am

sprite

humor is an amazing force.

3:34 am

grannyrose

oh, grandy, thoughts and prayers coming your way

3:34 am

rubyfoo

how hard for you both, grandy, you are fortunate to have your humor left

3:35 am

sprite

grandy, have you read or seen "Tuesdays with Morrie"?

3:36 am

grandy

thank you... it is nights like this when I can not sleep, that show the strain. but a little babble with friends is a joy. Does not happen often though. I am usually just too tired.

3:36 am

sprite

{{{{{{grandy}}}}}

3:36 am

grandy

I have not see Tuesdays with Morrie... I have heard of it though.

3:37 am

rubyfoo

this is the most wonderful support group!

sprite

if you can spare the time and energy, it might be worth it. Very beautiful.

3:38 am

rubyfoo

*poof* for now

3:38 am

rubyfoo

bye, sweet friends!!!!

3:38 am

grandy

Yes, it is... I could not handle a face to face support group. there is one but is a few hours away. Just stick to routine that gets me through to.

3:38 am

sprite

bye ruby

3:40 am

grannyrose

night, ruby, talk to youn real soon

3:40 am

sprite

routine is good because it saves energy and gives you something to hold on to. It is a tough road you travel, both of you.

3:40 am

grandy

the light of our day is our 5 year old. we are raising our great grandson. He is a bright star.

3:41 am

grannyrose

and grandy? just tap into us whenever you need. my email is in my profile

3:41 am

sprite

same for me, grandy. If you need a listening ear/reading eye, we are here.

3:42 am

grandy

Thank you all so very very much.....

3:42 am

sprite

you are raising your grandson? May I ask about his parents?

3:42 am

grannyrose

3:43 am

grannyrose

3:44 am

rubyfoo

no, he wasn't ready; it isn't 11 yet! lol

3:44 am

grandy

he was born to our grand daughter who has mental capacity issues. He does not have any of that he is as bright as a button and yes, he can out smart us sometimes.

3:44 am

rubyfoo

he's given up martinis

3:44 am

grannyrose

now, spritey, you wouldn't be referrring to the ot5 night, would you?

3:44 am

rubyfoo

don't tell me I was tipsy online?

3:45 am

rubyfoo

that is a noble undertaking, grandy. My parents raised my sister's son and he became a great success

3:45 am

sprite

it must be demanding, to take care of a 5 yo in these circumstances. But I can imagine his being a blessing too :)

3:46 am

sprite

me, rose? Never! You know me. Would I ever do that to my babble friends? *looks innocent*

3:47 am

grannyrose

if you gals are okay...i will just slip quietly away. see you at the flip

3:47 am

grandy

It comes and goes and we have a fantastic family of support. we have always raised him in a village of attachement, so he is comfortable with family.

grannyrose

* poof *

3:48 am

grandy

I must look at this grid... three times I have almost posted a word....

3:48 am

rubyfoo

I THINK i'VE MISSED A SCANDALOUS STORY....

3:48 am

sprite

in that case, rose, you are leading a very innocent and clean life :)

3:48 am

rubyfoo

whoops, caps again errant pinkie

3:49 am

grandy

oh and pass the martini this way... a little virtual booze never hursts

3:49 am

sprite

don't worry, grandy. It happens to all of us. It is a silly thing in the setup of this site

3:50 am

3:53 am

Kazzer99

3:53 am

Kazzer99

If I catch you tomorrow Ruby I will give you recipe - your could do it with champagne

3:54 am

grandy

our garden is so wet we can not even rototill yet, net alone plant

3:54 am

sprite

3:55 am

sprite

hmz... I don't like the combination of cr4 and fe4.

3:55 am

grandy

a spring in my step too... would help

3:56 am

grandy

maybe that is what the bellini will help with

3:56 am

Kazzer99

grandy

Kazzer99

huppelen is dutch... don't know the correct english. Maybe skip? frolic? It is what kids do, a happy walk, twice on the one leg, twice on the ot5.

4:00 am

4:01 am

grandy

sprite

4:04 am

grandy

12:18 pm

wvteach

went to one yesterday and there will be one the following Saturday - but not involved in organizing those

12:18 pm

stidmama

I am glad it went well -- I used to love those sorts of things. In Newport News, they used to have a festival in May or June I think (might have been later in summer though) that was so amazing. Clogging, lace making, GOOD bluegrass, crafts... I loved it. Still miss the good Appalachian foods and music.

12:18 pm

stidmama

I think it's more fun to attend than to organize...

12:18 pm

wvteach

in June the food will be traditional appalachian cooking - ramps and potatoes, soup beans and cornbread

12:19 pm

stidmama

I am going to a one-day learning about Irish next weekend! language, music, dance... VERY excited to go!

we had similar weather yesterday was worried we wouldn't see the moon, then it cleared up really nicely around 10. Sunny at the moment, but high clouds filtering the light

12:22 pm

wvteach

saw the moon while at the festival briefly and only through the trees, while driving home it was clouded over

12:23 pm

stidmama

I loved sassafras, it was one of the first deciduous trees I could identify reliably. That, and ironwood. Our woods have lovely trees, too -- and BIG! but I still miss the mixed woodlands sometimes.

12:23 pm

stidmama

through the trees would have been pretty!

12:23 pm

wvteach

we had one in the woods behind our school and could easily get the kids to identify it

12:25 pm

stidmama

I had to look up ramps because it doesn't grow in the tidewater area. Here is a marvelous resource I found! http://www.wvagriculture.org/images/Li

12:27 pm

stidmama

12:27 pm

ivesy3

ty ty .. didnt see the double consonant

12:27 pm

wvteach

ramps are a cross between onions and garlic and grow wild in the woods - i personally don't like them but there are many ramp festivals here in the spring - yesterday at the festival they were selling "ramp butter"

12:27 pm

stidmama

can you send a hint my way, LA?

12:28 pm

stidmama

there were little wild onions where we lived, teach -- my brother and I used to snack on them while we played in the yard... LOL pull them up, peel off the outer layer and yum! but I don't know that I would have liked a garlicky plant much although we eat lots of garlic now.

12:29 pm

LeslieAnn

compound word - 4 + go, past tense

12:30 pm

stidmama

thanks LA

12:30 pm

LeslieAnn

i've got ho8, what's the other 8?

12:30 pm

wvteach

we have wild onions here but they are not ramps - ramps are much stronger and larger bulbs and a definite garlic taste - in June they will fry them up with hash brown potatoes

12:30 pm

stidmama

re 8. will trade...

12:30 pm

LeslieAnn

ho8 is another compound. to ho** your skills + st. john's ****

12:31 pm

wvteach

ho 8 - compound word - never heard of the word before - someone said it was another name for parsley

12:31 pm

stidmama

person who answers back quickly and with disdain... re + layered cake + "one who" suffix

12:31 pm

stidmama

thanks LA and teach

That one, LeslieAnn?

12:51 pm

LeslieAnn

ahh thanks rbud. 12 left and hitting a wall

12:51 pm

negativeneil

Oh. Or what rbud just said... which is a better clue.

12:51 pm

jesdraggon

hahaaahahahahahaa. i love the fo7/56. tried it on a whim and it's real! :D hehehehee

12:52 pm

rbud

I laughed about the tw6/39 - buy one, get one! :)

12:52 pm

negativeneil

Well the present tense of it works, jes, so of course that does. ;) I've seen it before but it does seem kinda weird.

12:53 pm

jesdraggon

i've never seen it before... but i like it :)

12:53 pm

negativeneil

Oh that's a term used in online pool games, rbud... maybe real life pool games too for all I know. When you sink two balls in one shot.

12:53 pm

jesdraggon

thanks, rbud, i didn't have that one :)

12:54 pm

rbud

well, someone early in chog said there was a tw6, and that was the only thing that popped into my head, was surprised it worked

12:55 pm

LeslieAnn

missing one from the bottom r? have ro4, ro5

12:56 pm

wvteach

last word - fe 7/52 - very strong want or idea

12:56 pm

jesdraggon

there are 2 ro5

12:56 pm

negativeneil

Yeah. When you do that in a pool game people will say "Nice tw6!" Maybe you've heard it somewhere before and just don't remember?

12:56 pm

LeslieAnn

ah ok. thanks jes. congrats teach!

12:56 pm

jesdraggon

yay teach! and thanks :)

12:57 pm

negativeneil

Or seen it? Actally I've only seen it... typed by people in online pool games.

12:59 pm

jmcnrick

hi all

12:59 pm

jesdraggon

morning, jam :)

12:59 pm

rbud

never played online pool, but it may have come from pool players in my past, though I'm pretty sure I've only ever heard it used when buying/selling something

12:59 pm

jmcnrick

*inserts toothpicks to hold up eyelids*

1:00 pm

negativeneil

Oh, maybe. Online pool is way too addictive.

1:00 pm

negativeneil

Hi jmc! Wakey wakey? lol

1:00 pm

jmcnrick

stayed up too late trying to catch some clear sky to see the moon

1:00 pm

negativeneil

Still drinking coffee and trying to wake up myself.

1:00 pm

jesdraggon

*slides jam a mug of tea*

1:01 pm

negativeneil

And it's 2 hours since I got out of bed. :P

1:01 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Everything is addictive.

1:01 pm

jmcnrick

yeah but it 2 pm here

1:01 pm

jmcnrick

mmmm thanks jes

1:01 pm

negativeneil

Hmmm no, Kaplan. There are definitely some things that would never addict me.

1:02 pm

jmcnrick

not everything is addictive but someone can become addicted to anything

1:02 pm

jesdraggon

30 left and slowing way down

1:02 pm

negativeneil

Oh I can think of things I couldn't become addicted to... because I don't like them in the first place.

1:02 pm

jmcnrick

heroine is addictive. . . we are addicted to babble because of our personalities

1:03 pm

negativeneil

Or because we're just word nerds. ;)

1:03 pm

negativeneil

Speaking for myself there, definitely.

1:03 pm

jesdraggon

that doesn't mean they wouldn't be addictive to someone else

1:03 pm

Kaplan the Magne

This is a debate in the field. Heroin doesn't addict everyone who uses it.

1:03 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Babble does.

1:03 pm

negativeneil

Really? Wow. Didn't know that.

1:04 pm

LeslieAnn

i'm at 9 jes, practically immobile. :)

1:04 pm

jmcnrick

haha i know that is not true kap. . . some people have avoided the babble addiction

1:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

There are people who moderate their use and make sure they don't build up a habit.

1:04 pm

rbud

heehee, just had to giggle, our little dog was napping, th4 I heard her coming through the bedroom to find me - sounded funny. when she got here, she had one paw stuck up in her collar - time to tighten it a smidge, I guess!

1:04 pm

negativeneil

OMG. What's their secret, jmc?!

1:04 pm

jmcnrick

but you are correct some people do not become addicted to heroine but they are in a very small minority

1:05 pm

negativeneil

Aww. I guess so rbud.

1:05 pm

jmcnrick

oddly enough the opposite is true of cigarettes. . .most people who try smoking do not become addicted

1:06 pm

negativeneil

Hi Seain.

1:06 pm

jmcnrick

aww poor baby i bet she was scared

1:06 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It's not even that small a minority- but it is a hidden population. There's been a lot of research over decades, but it is considered heretical.

1:06 pm

LeslieAnn

missing one c? have 1 ce, 4 co, 4 cr

1:06 pm

rbud

well, it's happened before, she just finds me and figures I can fix it, I suppose.

1:06 pm

negativeneil

I'm still not smoking, jmc! Been struggling not to get any more but held off so far.

1:07 pm

jmcnrick

it's good she knows she can get help!

1:07 pm

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!! neil

rbud

yay, neil! good job!!!

1:07 pm

negativeneil

Of course rbud. Moms can fix anything. :)

1:07 pm

jesdraggon

i wonder how many of the people who never get around to trying heroine because it holds no interest would be people who didn't become addicted if the did try it...

1:07 pm

LeslieAnn

i think dogs are just kind of like, hmm this isn't right. cats are the ones who freak out about it

1:08 pm

negativeneil

Yeah. Interesting point to ponder jes.

1:08 pm

rbud

she's old, and pretty wise now, got a lot figured out.

1:08 pm

negativeneil

Yeah, Leslie.

1:08 pm

jmcnrick

well there is the other downside to heroine which is the fairly high opportunity to overdose

1:09 pm

negativeneil

True. That would be a serious deterrent.

1:09 pm

negativeneil

Just the whole idea of it never had any appeal for me... that or any other hard drugs. No thanks.

1:09 pm

jmcnrick

whereas cigarettes only kill slowly

1:10 pm

negativeneil

Well that's why I've quit.

1:10 pm

jmcnrick

stats for the top O please

1:10 pm

rbud

never tried it myself, along with a big list of stuff - I was always one to watch how things affected ot5 people, if I didn't like what I saw, I never tried it. good way to stay outta trouble.

1:10 pm

do you have the re6/18 that means a snappy verbal response? the re8 is one who does that.

dont worry got it now never heard of it though

2:24 pm

and for those budding writers,i offer a nice crossy tidbit of the day.this is a freeware program.run your first draft through it http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/1u7jHd/:
1ZWWtgtVU:EsFk_MPu/www.gingersoftware.
com/grammarcheck/

2:25 pm

ch1212

Looks fun and useful -- thanks!

2:25 pm

crosshair

it is quite usefull

2:25 pm

crosshair

and it will take entire pages at a time

2:37 pm

crosshair

now,it is just the big tease to get you to buy the premium program,but is still handy

2:40 pm

rastapopolous

I worked in a lab where we had a grammar check program. The boss wanted us to use it as we were writing papers. What a lousy program! It didn't recognize latin plurals, so it was always telling me my subject and verb didn't agree when they did.

2:41 pm

rastapopolous

And it didn't understand that in scince writng you're *supposed* to use the passive voice.

2:41 pm

crosshair

well,i cannot promise how it will handle other languages including dead ones,but try it

2:41 pm

rastapopolous

And it kept scolding me for using big words when you sorta have to in technical work...

2:42 pm

crosshair

heck 99% of all checker programs in the states balk at colour,arbour,theatre etc etc...so i amused to it

2:42 pm

crosshair

lol

2:42 pm

rastapopolous

And that I was using the same word too often

2:42 pm

crosshair

am used*

2:42 pm

rastapopolous

I think these things would be great for someone in high school learning to write papers.

2:43 pm

rastapopolous

for those of us who already know how they are just an irritant. My 15 cents

2:43 pm

crosshair

it is a handy tool,not a rock solid final draft sort of thing.i would use most of them in that way

2:44 pm

ch1212

Agreed, rasta, but I'm going to check it out anyway. Crossy's reccommend is usually spot on.

2:44 pm

crosshair

for final drafts,it is as it has always been .get five people who do not like you very much to read your book/paper and tear it apart

2:45 pm

rastapopolous

And if English isn't your first language, have someone read it for whom it is....

2:45 pm

crosshair

this is true

2:45 pm

6:17 pm

MollyL

Bye River. Husbands who make dinner are definitely worth hanging onto.

6:18 pm

Soodle

Husbands who make dinner??? I thought they were like Santa Claus.........

6:18 pm

MollyL

I was referring to what he said about the "b" who set him up.

6:19 pm

MollyL

They are mythical, for the most part, Soodle.

6:19 pm

Soodle

Mythical, legendary creatures, similar to leprechauns, only taller............

6:19 pm

rururocks

I make Breakfast Lunch and Dinner daily for mrs ru

rururocks

unless I'm not here.. and even then I cook ahead for her

6:20 pm

jesdraggon

6:20 pm

MollyL

I did say "for the most part" to cover my ass.

6:20 pm

Soodle

Putting my name down for a Ruru, should one become available.

6:21 pm

MollyL

Soodle, apparently we just don't know the right men. Which is no big secret to either of us.

6:22 pm

Soodle

Well, actually, Molls,............ I found a sort of a man......

6:22 pm

rururocks

sort of?

6:22 pm

MollyL

You should have been here earlier when rbud said her husband was in the recliner, napping on and off, waiting to be fed. Where do you sign up for that gig? WHAT???? SPILL

6:22 pm

rururocks

oh boy

6:23 pm

jesdraggon

sort of a man? or sort of found a man?

6:24 pm

rururocks

maybe half man/ half horse.. a centaur?

6:24 pm

MollyL

Oh, and here she had everyone keening about the "life circumstances" that have kept her away from the computer.

6:24 pm

Soodle

Oh crap. I knew I shouldn't have menitoned it........

6:24 pm

rururocks

LOL

6:25 pm

rururocks

*wonders if centaurs roll in the hay .. or just eat the hay?*

6:25 pm

TheLegend

6:26 pm

Soodle

There I was, pushing my cart around the supermarket, and a 'man' said Hi, and I said Hi and whaddya know?

6:26 pm

rururocks

hmmm.. go on ...

6:26 pm

Soodle

Nah, Ruru. Your gonna have to buy the book...........

6:27 pm

jesdraggon

so you brought him home and put him in the cupboard with the rest of the groceries?

6:27 pm

MollyL

*Pretends she never read anything and fills in the sordid details on her own*

6:28 pm

rururocks

what's sordid about vegetables?

6:28 pm

MollyL

Read between the lines. He squeezed her melons.

6:28 pm

rururocks

Unless soodle was fondling them while she was talking to him

6:29 pm

Soodle

Good Lord above...... you lot are worse than my mother!!!! She is off to buy a hat in the morning. And light a candle in thechurch...'Glory be to

6:29 pm

6:29 pm

rururocks

6:29 pm

Soodle

Sorry. I got over excited

6:30 pm

MollyL

So far, the "we met in the market" thing is very When Harry Met Sally.

6:30 pm

Soodle

I'll have what she's having!!!!

6:30 pm

rururocks

really saladacious if you ask me

6:30 pm

MollyL

Oh okay, she's talking to her Mom about him already. Yee Gods.

6:32 pm

Soodle

Putting nose in the air, and ignoring the snide remarks, and putting the record straight... It was in the frozen food aisle.

6:32 pm

jesdraggon

sounds fishy...

6:34 pm

Soodle

Mother's first question was.... Does this man lurk around supermarkets all the time?

6:34 pm

rururocks

probably something to do with Cool WHip

6:35 pm

MollyL

Best pick up place ever for over forty people is the supermarket.

6:35 pm

Soodle

Muttering quietly to self.. I knew I shouldn't have said a word....

6:35 pm

rururocks

as long as he doesn't always go through the express lane

6:36 pm

MollyL

Five items or less, five minutes or less, what's the diff?

6:37 pm

ChampFit

Clean up on aisle 9!

6:37 pm

jesdraggon

you know we only tease cuz we likes youse! :D

6:39 pm

MollyL

I bet she wishes she had dropped this on the tamer crowd who would have said things like "Oh how lovely. Have you had tea with him yet?"

6:39 pm

rururocks

ROFL

6:41 pm

Soodle

She wishes she had stayed shtumm!!!!

6:41 pm

ChampFit

Oh Soodle! I think it's awesome...good for you!

6:42 pm

MollyL

Too late. I'm sure the underground Babble emails are already flying.

6:43 pm

rururocks

I hope shtumm isn't what i think it is

6:47 pm

Soodle

With as much dignity as I can muster, I will bid you all a good night. (It's 00.48 here).

6:47 pm

rururocks

lol.. bye soodle.. we love ya.. we're just teasing.. take care

6:48 pm

ChampFit

'night Soodle!

6:48 pm

MollyL

Well that's it, she will never chat with us again.

6:48 pm

Soodle

Not a shred of offence taken!!!! I love it!!! See you guys very soon. ((((Hugs))))

6:48 pm

jesdraggon

sleep sweet, soodle

6:49 pm

rururocks

6:50 pm

rururocks

*wonders how much frozen food is in SOodle's freezer now*

6:50 pm

MollyL

Me too Ru.

6:50 pm

jesdraggon

she's off to get warm and cozy with the man she met in the iced aisle :)

6:50 pm

rururocks

6:52 pm

MollyL

*Tries to imagine grocery store pick up lines*

6:54 pm

rururocks

Paper or Plastic?

6:55 pm

rururocks

*do you shop in the frozen food aisle often?*

6:55 pm

rururocks

*need any taters with those tots*

6:56 pm

MollyL

Don't be fooled. She came right out and said she didn't stay shtumm.

6:57 pm

MollyL

No wonder her sainted Mother is off to light a candle.

6:57 pm

rururocks

(maybe two)

6:58 pm

rururocks

it'd be great if she met a nice guy after that jerk of a husband

6:58 pm

MollyL

I agree.
