12:34 am

cosdem

no its nice lol.. ryan got a new job (lost his a month ago) hes currently working overnight shift training .. in 3-4 months he will take over two stores . which means we'd have to move to manitou springs, co -- can't wait! gorgeous part of the springs

westford

en5/12 mel

12:36 am

VolleymomDee

if it is that close, why is move necessary?

12:36 am

cosdem

no car. we've been using the neighbor's car. she lets us use hers. but i dont like driving her car at night every night. then she picks him up every morning

12:37 am

cosdem

he could take a bus yes but the buses don't run at 10pm when he starts work

12:37 am

westford

nice neighbor

12:37 am

VolleymomDee

aww that makes sense; especially if you are excited about a new location.

12:37 am

VolleymomDee

usually is the prob with bus routes - never run when they are needed

12:38 am

cosdem

she said shes 86. never drives anywhere. may as well let me use it lol but i only use it for necessary things like groceries, bills, dr. appts etc.

12:38 am

westford

I know thanks to van the 9 starts with go..may I please have the stats..just not getting it

12:38 am

1:38 am

melonheadjujube

hi flosey. actually I went to bed, then remembered an email I needed to send, so here I am again!

1:39 am

rbud

both 8's are based on past tense of na 4/4, something you hammer, then hammer again, then don't hammer, lol

1:39 am

grannyrose

flosey, just remember that there is an n next to the s, a lot of plurals

1:39 am

1:44 am

jillibus

Hello all -- late arrival after bridge and stuff

1:44 am

flosey

hi jilli, lovely poppies

1:44 am

rbud

go9/72 - I was picturing a strange woodworking tool myself, lol

1:45 am

grannyrose

anyone here who can help me with some insight? i thought it was irritabble bowel playing up a few weeks ago, but over the last few days, have been very careful about what i eat or drink. came home early today, just not feeling right. sure enough, off i went again, plus a headache to boot. severe tummy cramps, too

1:45 am

flosey

thanks rbud

1:45 am

grannyrose

do you think it's nerves??

1:46 am

flosey

sorry about that rose, could possibly be nerves but would have it checked out

1:46 am

jillibus

are you on any medication, granny?

1:46 am

melonheadjujube

yes, they are lovely, jilli. My poppies were early and runty this year. They don't like the competition from the lavender and peopnies. That and a hosta that won't quit and an everlasting sweetpea (invader) I'm about to name Audrey II.

1:46 am

grannyrose

and not sleeping, awake from 2am to 5am, everynight

1:46 am

rbud

wow, someone's rattling dishes in my kitchen, wonder if the dish fairies have landed

1:46 am

melonheadjujube

funny rbud!

1:47 am

grannyrose

whoot, rbud, send 'em my way please

1:47 am

jillibus

thanks, melon -- I love that colour

1:47 am

jillibus

and thanks flosey too

1:48 am

jillibus

granny, I would check things out with your doctor.

1:48 am

grannyrose

jilli, you wouldn't believe it, but we had self-sown red poppies come up in our back garden. was a real treat

1:49 am

melonheadjujube

halfway. I should have bben in bed hours ago. I want to garden before 8 am, owing to the heat. Neither I nor the plants should be disturbed after about 9 am.

1:49 am

grannyrose

that's what i was afraid uoy all would say. * fingers crossed* don't want anything to stop this surgery going agead.

1:49 am

bigbirdboss

sounds like what I had a couple of weeks ago, going around these parts...a stomach bug.

1:49 am

flosey

that happened here last year, rose, a huge pink poppy plant just appeared at the corner of the house, has not come back this year

1:50 am

flosey

that reminds me though, I did take some seeds

1:50 am

grannyrose

bigbird, lasting an awful long time.

1:51 am

bigbirdboss

how long?

1:51 am

grannyrose

started about 3-4 weeks ago

1:51 am

bigbirdboss

Mine last about 24 hours, but the nausea lasted a week longer.

1:52 am

bigbirdboss

No......that's gotta be something else. I'd check with a doctor for sure.

1:52 am

jillibus

the doc might very well agree that it's just nerves -- that sleep interruption sounds like it

1:55 am

grannyrose

* whines* but everytime i see him, he tells me my high temperatures are due to my autonymous nervous system playing. reckon i'll get the same speil

1:56 am

sprite

2:03 am

sprite

aw :( Poor you!

2:03 am

jillibus

oh, that's not funny, sarah!

2:03 am

sprite

lolllll well that was me, falling for the 2 am hiccup trap!

2:04 am

grannyrose

sarah, suggest go4 soaking in a pine-tar solution, the dab each spot with betadine and calamine. only way, my friend

2:04 am

sarah6girls

my girls think it funny has they not got them lol

2:05 am

grannyrose

i had 9 weeks of chicken pox with my 3 sons, and my mother had 12 weeks( the twins got it at the same time)

2:06 am

sprite

not at all funny. I really hope your kids won't get it.

2:06 am

grannyrose

the pine-tar reduces the itching, the betadine fights the virus and the clamine also helps with the itching

2:06 am

sarah6girls

all 6 have had them

2:07 am

grannyrose

thank goodness for small blessings, sarah. now, just do as granny tells you

2:07 am

sprite

2:11 am

grannyrose

2:12 am

3:16 am

Dianne

3:16 am

sprite

I think I will be fine. I have spent a few more euros and opted for first class, solo seat. The tickets say that is what I got!

3:16 am

rubyfoo

just on here, but it's a couple of years now and we play scrabble every day

3:16 am

sprite

no, we haven't. First time ever!

3:17 am

rubyfoo

I feel like we're old friends, even though she is just a kid, compared to me

3:17 am

Dianne

I think this is just great !

3:18 am

3:24 am

my computer is deadly-slow even though I defragments and tried compressing files

3:24 am

sprite

3:25 am

rubyfoo

defragmented*

3:25 am

sprite

do you have enough free space?

3:25 am

rubyfoo

3:31 am

rubyfoo

will check back later

3:32 am

sprite

ok ruby! I hope it will arrive soon.

3:50 am

andrew in drag

*whisper* I'm very late, but try checking the CPU - see what programs are running when you start your computer, without you knowing/needing them - those can slow down your machine.

3:50 am

sprite

good advice, andrew, and hi :)
I will check when I am visiting ruby.

3:51 am

andrew in drag

hi! and oh, you're visiting Ruby? that's so cool!

3:51 am

sprite

it is! Next week already.

3:52 am

andrew in drag

oh man, you two must be excited :)

3:52 am

sprite

we are :)

3:53 am

andrew in drag

it's nice that you two have that sort of trust in each other. actually, this seems like quite a trusting place. but still!

3:53 am

sprite

fireflies! A rather challenging grid for me. Fun.

3:54 am

andrew in drag

bravo! I don't think I'll make it today :P

3:54 am

sprite

yes, this is a special place. Ruby and I have been chatting and emailing for years now, and I think it is safe. I will behave when there too :)

3:55 am

andrew in drag

haha! you'd better ;)

3:55 am

sprite

*grin*

3:56 am

sprite

well you know it... when I am good, I am very very good. But when I am bad, I am even better :)

3:56 am

sprite

for me, this grid went very fast and easy until halfway, and then BANG, screeching halt and only word by word, slowly, till the end.

3:57 am

sprite

sorry to leave you, but gtg. Have a lovely day and enjoy the grid :)

3:57 am

andrew in drag

no troubles. have a good day! :)

3:59 am

I agree with sprite about this grid.

5:45 am

li6 is plural of li5/10

5:47 am

Uneaixoise

sunporches, i believe

5:47 am

they're not in the computer yet, was just trying to enter them via the CF card

rubyfoo

I learned a new (slang) Fr expression today "en mr, like "je suis en mar" because everybody is sick of the endless rain

5:52 am

MollyL

Ruby, I don't get what you are doing with pictures. When they are on a card, you put the card in the comuter (or a card reader connected to the computer) and they show up on one of your alternate drives.

5:52 am

rubyfoo

molly: can I not transfer the photos directly from the CF card via the card reader?

5:53 am

rubyfoo

I'll try it again. I thought that's what I was doing

5:53 am

MollyL

Yes, that is what I meant.

5:54 am

If they are not showing up there may be a problem with your card reader.

hurshy

babble clearly has no experience with kids and winter clothing, or reun4 would be a word

8:48 am

hurshy

WHAT?! a tuile is a thin crispy cookie thing i see them on cooking shows all the time this is an OUTRAGE

8:48 am

grant

not a toile?

8:48 am

hurshy

no, toile is a fabric

8:49 am

hurshy

as is tulle

8:49 am

Judi

I think the cookie is "tuille*. Who ever knows with froglish.

8:49 am

medusa

off for a short while. wont be long

8:50 am

hurshy

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuile

8:51 am

grant

tuille has my vote

8:53 am

hurshy

but tuille isn't how it is spelled. that comes up with nothing on wiki other than, "did you mean tuile"

8:54 am

hurshy

let's see, apparently a tuille is: A steel plate used in medieval armor for protecting the thigh.

8:54 am

Judi

What. Ev. Er.

8:55 am

hurshy

ooh, as7, nice word

8:56 am

Judi

If it makes you feel better, there is an anagram of tuile. Ut/5.

8:56 am

hurshy

indeed. it doesn't really make me feel much better, unfortunately. :)

8:57 am

stidmama

for NBT, the E in the lower right corner please? almost to halfway and starting to stall out.

8:57 am

hurshy

boredom

8:57 am

Judi

Okay, how about two anagrams?

8:58 am

hurshy

nothing can make up for the lack of tuile!

8:58 am

stidmama

thanks hurshy!

8:58 am

stidmama

and there's me at halfway. Back tonight I hope! *poof*

8:59 am

hurshy

ta ta stid

9:04 am

hurshy

hmmm, anyone like to help with the 8's or 9?

9:06 am

Judi

Ironically, ga6/27 is allowed, but tuile is not. We should demand equal opportunity for french desserts!

9:06 am

hurshy

exactly! and thanks. :)

9:07 am

hurshy

name that proper noun! poe

9:07 am

Judi

If Marie Antoinette was here, she would say (in French, of course) "Let them eat ga6/27!"

9:07 am

hurshy

indeed

9:08 am

Judi

Okay. I have whittled my way down to 24. Time for that 2nd cup. BBL to finish! *PEUFF*

9:14 am

crosshair

200..though i swear when i first opened it it said 199...how odd

9:15 am

rbud

yw :)

9:16 am

hurshy

so the 9 is still a mystery...

9:16 am

crosshair

i have the 9...

9:16 am

hurshy

would you care to help? :)

9:17 am

rbud

go9 is like a cross between the male and female bird, what's go4 for the go5 is go4 for the g*****... or a strange winged woodworking device (take out last letter of the female and first letter of the male)

9:17 am

crosshair

tarry stuff+ what is used to smooth wood

9:17 am

hurshy

thank you both!

9:17 am

rbud

or crossy's more succinct clue, lol

9:17 am

crosshair

or icky stuff and what is used to smooth wood

9:18 am

crosshair

:)

9:19 am

hurshy

it is funny how happy my cat marty gets when i take a bath. he loves water, and he loves me, so he feels this is the perfect combination. throw in some carrots and he'd be in paradise.

9:19 am

crosshair

you take your cat in the bath with you and feed him carrots???

9:20 am

hurshy

i don't take him in, he doesn't want to get soaked. he just stands on the edge of the tub. and sometimes he dips his paw in and then licks the water off.

9:20 am

crosshair

our kitties do that

9:20 am

hurshy

the carrots, well, he can't actually eat them because he hasn't got the right kind of teeth. but he loves them. he is a weird cat. he will rub on the cutting board and lick after you cut some up and you have to yell at him to get off the counter.

9:21 am

crosshair

make a carrot mush for him like baby food carrots,but check with vet first that carrots are ok for kitties

9:21 am

hurshy

but when he stands on the edge of the tub, he's just purring like mad.

9:22 am

hurshy

you know crossy i've tried various things - gave him grated carrots, he ate a teeny bit. got baby food that had nothing in it but carrots and water, he was completely uninterested. i guess he'll have to wait for kitty heaven to really satisfy his carrot cravings.

9:22 am

crosshair

we have one that adores sour cream

9:22 am

hurshy

that at least is normal.

9:22 am

hurshy

our girls like meat, dairy, fat, that sort of thing.

9:22 am

hurshy

although they all like tomatoes.

9:23 am

crosshair

he sits up on his hind legs like a meercat and begs when the container ,or any container that looks like it comes out of the fridge

9:23 am

hurshy

and living with humans they get interested in more sugary things than they would like in the wild. heavy syrup from canned peaches... orange peach mango juice...

9:24 am

hurshy

but i will say that they intelligently remain uninterested in chocolate, as if they know it's bad for them. smarter than dogs i think.

9:25 am

hurshy

at least in that respect.

9:30 am

hurshy

na7 homonym of the manner in which children are behaving when they disobey

9:31 am

hurshy

i guess it is the plural of that shell...

9:33 am

hurshy

well since things are awfully quiet here and i've finished, i guess i'll be on my way.

9:33 am

MollyL

Or the plural of Captain Nemo's sub. : D

9:34 am

MollyL

As if there could be more than one, but it's Babble, so you know.

9:35 am

hurshy

yes :) ttfn!

9:35 am

MollyL

Or, for the fitness minded, plural of the exercise equipment.

9:35 am

MollyL

Ta ta for now Hursh.

... by teh way ... your Nats certainly did a number on the Jays last night ... ... have you bought your World Series tickets yet? ...

3:07 pm

jmcnrick

haha it looks like the eastern division DOMINATES!

3:08 pm

doseffing

... both leagues ... even the Jays are above .500

3:08 pm

jmcnrick

*puts on foil cap to avoid a jinx* play offs do seem a real possibility

3:08 pm

jmcnrick

i assume season tickets gets me some kind of priority

3:09 pm

doseffing

... did you buy your 1923 Senators commerative jersey yet? ... thats the last time Washington won wasn't it? ( forgetting Damn Yankees) ...

3:10 pm

3:12 pm

... have a friend who is a Cubs fan ... seems the newspaper that owned the Cubs also owned the largest employer (the paper mill in his home town) ... went to Cooperstown and just had to buy him the shirt that say Chicago Cubs World Series Champs (1907, 1908) ...

3:13 pm

jmcnrick

poor cubs fans. . .

3:13 pm

doseffing

... they live ... they die ... they dream ...

3:14 pm

jmcnrick

we play them in Sept in DC

3:15 pm

jmcnrick

but you reminded me i meant to see what the prognoses is on bernadino. . . silly man wanted to show his stuff and hurt himself in an unnecessary slide to 3rd base

3:15 pm

doseffing

... I'm sure my friend will be there ... he has seen the Cubs everywhere else ... look for a guy wearing a jacket that says "Bell Canada" and a Cubs hat

3:16 pm

doseffing

... that's okay ... we lost Morrow last night ... which gives us no stopper or consistent front line pitching ... the air went out of the balloon here last night

3:17 pm

haha i am sure i will see him!

3:17 pm

jmcnrick

strained ham string. . .

3:17 pm

and jackson pitched an amazing game for us

3:17 pm

doseffing

... must admit it is dumb to get hurt in a game you've already won ...

3:18 pm

doseffing

... he certainly did ...

3:19 pm

doseffing

... that is an amazing pitching rotation and a great infield ... ... we just show flashes of greatness in between our flashes of excessive post-teenage exuberance (Lawrie) and our twenty years of futility at the plate

3:19 pm

jmcnrick

especially since there was no reason to think that the catcher was going to throw to 3rd

3:20 pm

jmcnrick

still it must be fun having a (more or less) local boy like Lawrie

3:20 pm

HarryHood

hi all! just got halfway and nbt

3:21 pm

doseffing

... oh Arencibia will throw at anything ... ... besides he was trying to make up for throwing to third in the bottom of the tenth in Atlanta and putting it nicely into left field for the winning run ...

3:22 pm

jmcnrick

well tonight's will be a game worth watching . . . Wang is a good pitcher with an occasionally odd stance

3:23 pm

jmcnrick

my bad. . . that is what i get for listening to the announcers. . . they made it sound like he was at least from the same province

3:23 pm

doseffing

... I'm sure that all National's fans will enjoy it ... ... Jays rotation is pretty close to being decimated

3:24 pm

doseffing

... he's from Langley BC ... just south of Vancouver ... he's almost from Seattle

3:24 pm

jmcnrick

geez luweez silly announcers *hangs head in shame*

3:25 pm

doseffing

... no around here we're all becoming Reds fans so that we can cheer for Joey Votto ... ... he's from here ...

3:26 pm

jmcnrick

i understand that completely!

3:26 pm

doseffing

... if you're going to cheer for anyone you might as well cheer for the leading hitter in the game

3:29 pm

jmcnrick

haha! yep that makes sense

3:31 pm

doseffing

... well they're playing indoors tonight ... maybe that will help ... maybe the sound of the rain on the roof will throw your guys off ... ... must go ... words are refusing to appear and the rain looks like it will appear any moment and I'm at the library fifteen minutes of walking from home ... must dash ... bye all

hi lyn

4:53 pm

periwinkle

I hurt my right foot when I fell off of a chair a few weeks ago. But foot is fine now

4:53 pm

lynxxx

good to hear

4:54 pm

Jillyjill

Just started....179 left, working on nbt

4:56 pm

leighprefect

Ugh....so I started Lickety's list while I was at work since I can't babble at work, and was going to print the list out but I accidentally closed the browser. No more words. =(

4:57 pm

MollyL

Peri, glad to hear your foot is healing.

4:58 pm

periwinkle

:-)

4:58 pm

periwinkle

it be healed, Molls :)

4:58 pm

MollyL

Leigh, just copy your words here and use the bulk add feature at the top of Lickety to paste them in.

4:59 pm

MollyL

Good Peri. Now no more falling off chairs. : )

4:59 pm

leighprefect

I would have copied the list but I closed the browser and lost all the words I found.

5:00 pm

periwinkle

I was adjusting the AC vent, Molls. if I have to do it again, I promise to be more careful

5:00 pm

MollyL

I don't get it. Your words should be here every time you log in.

5:01 pm

leighprefect

I entered the words into Lickety's list before I even entered them here because I was slacking off at work. Babble is blocked at work, but Lickety's list isn't. So usually I start there and then enter them here when I get home.

5:02 pm

MollyL

Oh, I get it now. Yep, that way you will lose your words if you close the browser.

5:03 pm

leighprefect

Yeah. As soon as the browser shut I was cursing myself.

5:04 pm

Jillyjill

nbt

5:05 pm

MollyL

Well done Jilly

5:05 pm

Jillyjill

ty molly...now for nbs

5:12 pm

negativeneil

You can copy the word list though via "Bulk Grab" at the bottom of Lickety's list, then paste it into a word document or notepad and save it.

5:12 pm

yarn lady

hi all, been lurking here on and off and down to 3, help with ar5/14 please?

leighprefect

Thanks. =)

5:24 pm

yarn lady

thanks neil, the ca was one I should know-I've done enough of it. and sorry leigh about your lickety closing, I've done that one before too.

5:24 pm

negativeneil

You're welcome. It was a very amusing read. :)

5:24 pm

negativeneil

I see, yarn lady.

5:25 pm

5:28 pm

stidgmere

Hello. Just starting and would like to get 100 words. Hope you all have had good days.

5:30 pm

blueheron

neil, doesn't look like you're negative at all!!

5:32 pm

blueheron

watching the news about the sandusky trial. What a pig that man is.

5:32 pm

negativeneil

Not really, blueheron. It's just a joke, pertaining to my particular style of blogging.

5:33 pm

Jillyjill

time for a break...bbs

5:33 pm

negativeneil

Frost, yarn lady? Where are you?

5:33 pm

negativeneil

And have to agree with your sentiments there, blueheron. Strongly agree.

5:35 pm

negativeneil

Although I'm sure there are worse terms for him that would be even more appropriate.

5:35 pm

blueheron

prison for him, they should chew him up and spit him out.

5:35 pm

negativeneil

Absolutely.

5:35 pm

negativeneil

But what he's done will not be tolerated well in prison. He'll get his.

5:36 pm

blueheron

I hope he is not protected in one of those resort prisons.

5:37 pm

ChampFit

Did y'all hear about the man here in Texas who walked in on someone molesting his 4 year old daughter, and beat him to death?

5:37 pm

negativeneil

Even if he is, like I said, other prisoners will get him for what he's done... unless of course he's in solitary confinement. That shit isn't tolerated.

5:37 pm

blueheron

on another subject, so you see the Hollywood sign everyday?

5:37 pm

negativeneil

Wow, ChampFit.. no, I hadn't?

5:38 pm

negativeneil

Well yeah, most days.

5:38 pm

ChampFit

He hasn't been arrested. Don't know yet what's going to happen, if anything. In Shiner, TX.

5:38 pm

negativeneil

Can't see it from our apartment... view is blocked.

5:38 pm

blueheron

no I hadn't Champ. Good for him.

5:39 pm

negativeneil

We're right behind an In-N-Out Burger joint. That's a lovely view, haha. Well there are some trees in between.

5:39 pm

ChampFit

That's the consensus, blueheron!

5:39 pm

blueheron

You must see alot of actors.

5:39 pm

leighprefect

As fun as it's been, I need to get ready for physical therapy. Happy babbling, and maybe I'll be back later.

5:41 pm

blueheron

We're having alot of air traffic here going to Pease Airport in NH. Lot of military planes. Hopefully our troops are coming home.

5:47 pm

dcseain

may troops be returning, indeed

5:48 pm

blueheron

hey seain my friend:))

5:49 pm

negativeneil

Seain. :)

5:49 pm

dcseain

evening.

5:49 pm

negativeneil

And yeah, you see them around, blue.

5:49 pm

negativeneil

Are you on GTalk Seain?

5:49 pm

dcseain

hi, heron and neil, and i am

5:50 pm

negativeneil

Well so you are. You're way down at the bottom of the list due to that alphabetical order thing... so I never see when you're there unless I do the Jewish thing and scroll, haha.

5:50 pm

dcseain

LOL

5:51 pm

negativeneil

Figured you'd appreciate that Seain. lol

5:53 pm

welki

hi folks

5:53 pm

negativeneil

Hi welki.

5:53 pm

welki

ha! seain, you're icon looks like a fiddlehead made for two!

5:54 pm

negativeneil

There's a praying mantis on that, to add to the green. Just noticed it when I opened up the profile.

5:55 pm

welki

ohhh i see it! should have looked closer - brutal insects, those praying mantises - mantissi - mantisses - matisse!

5:57 pm

blueheron

why are they brutal welki?

5:58 pm

blueheron

Beautiful photograph Seain!!

5:58 pm

welki

well, some might not consider what a female mantis does to her mate after mating - she bites his head off - some might consider it just desserts *lol*

5:58 pm

blueheron

ha ha haaaa!!!

5:58 pm

dcseain

ty, blue

5:59 pm

blueheron

perhaps it's not a fun event welki!!!

5:59 pm

welki

i know i've wanted to ... nevermind :)

6:00 pm

blueheron

lol:))))

6:00 pm

blueheron

I have at times too!!!

6:01 pm

blueheron

way back in my young and naive life.

6:02 pm

blueheron

nice gentle rain outside..............like Hawaii

6:02 pm

welki

whoooo --- we'd better stop right now before we get ourselves into chat-trouble *lol* (so now i have ... "stop right there! i gotta know right now...." in my head, the one that's not been bitten off)

6:03 pm

blueheron

you are so funny!!!!

6:03 pm

welki

<-- likes meat loaf

6:04 pm

blueheron

don't let your meat loaf.. gawd. I better stop now.

6:04 pm

welki

boyhowdy, here we go again

6:04 pm

blueheron

sorry Neil and Seain

6:05 pm

welki

i've probably told you before that i am in awe of herons. my license plate is HERON

6:05 pm

blueheron

let's go back to the warm, gentle rain.

6:05 pm

welki

and seain? did you take that photograph?

6:06 pm

blueheron

Yes you did, I haven't talked to you for so long..

6:07 pm

welki

haven't chatted much lately - sometimes it gets complicated in here

6:07 pm

blueheron

we had a couple of them fly over the house this spring.:))

6:07 pm

negativeneil

Sorry for what, blueheron?

6:08 pm

welki

tell me about new hampshire - all i really know is the motto and what i read in hotel new hampshire (which really wasn't about the state at all)

6:08 pm

blueheron

I haven't chatted either, and yes I understand what you mean. I guess we pick our own battles.

6:08 pm

welki

if a gal wanted to buy a piece of property, isolated property on a lake not too, too far from the ocean, would she have to be a millionaire?

6:09 pm

negativeneil

Well I'm guessing it would certainly help, welki.

6:09 pm

welki

well, that takes care of that, then *lol* brownsville texas, here i come!

6:09 pm

negativeneil

And again... why were you apologizing to Seain and myself, blueheron?

6:10 pm

negativeneil

Haha, welki. :)

6:10 pm

welki

probably because we were being bawdy at the expense of thousands of male praying manti

6:10 pm

negativeneil

That's "bawdy"? lol

6:10 pm

negativeneil

And you think you could shock me with that?

6:11 pm

blueheron

we were talking about male whatevers!!!:)))

6:11 pm

negativeneil

You haven't read my blogs. Clearly. :P

6:11 pm

welki

not bawdy for me, but who knows how many ways i can offend folks in one chat room?

6:11 pm

blueheron

I could do damage too:))) ha ha ha!

6:11 pm

negativeneil

Ha. Well I'm sure I probably have... hell, my bio should probably come with a language warning. :P

6:12 pm

welki

and, for the record, after i looked it up, i can tell you that the plural of mantis is either mantes or mantises

6:12 pm

blueheron

not.:)

6:12 pm

negativeneil

Do a text search in it and count how many f-bombs you can find? lol

6:12 pm

welki

(to satisfy the language police)

6:13 pm

negativeneil

Ok. So now I have to guess what it is.

6:13 pm

negativeneil

Mantisi?

6:13 pm

welki

both are acceptable - mantes and mantises

6:13 pm

welki

i prefery monty.

6:13 pm

blueheron

at least it's not mountis and mountises. stop wendy

6:13 pm

negativeneil

"Mantes"? Weird.

6:13 pm

negativeneil

Haha, blueheron!

6:14 pm

negativeneil

Or Wendy, if you prefer?

6:14 pm

welki

yep - adjust your foil hat, heron - we're pickin' up the same signal

6:14 pm

blueheron

whoops...I let my real name out.

6:14 pm

negativeneil

I should grab some tinfoil and make one. I'm not tuned in enough... clearly. :P

6:14 pm

welki

(because no one could see it in your profile, toots - it's right there)

6:15 pm

ChampFit

oh cool...tinfoil hats!

6:15 pm

negativeneil

Well gee, mine is right in my online moniker, Wendy. Now should we worry about people tracking us down? I mean you know... I'm probably the only "Neil" in this city. :P

6:15 pm

negativeneil

And that too, Wendy... what welki just said.

6:15 pm

welki

hi, champ - i read about that incident in shiner - nasty, all around

6:16 pm

blueheron

I could be the only Wendy in this city. There really aren't too many Wendy's around.

6:16 pm

ChampFit

It traveled that far? Wow!

6:16 pm

welki

brb

6:17 pm

blueheron

where doe's the tinfoil hat come from?

6:17 pm

negativeneil

Oh really, Wendy? Well your name is less common than mine for sure... mine is way too common.

6:17 pm

negativeneil

Tinfoil I believe, blueheron. Fashioned into headgear. It needs antennae though... what to make those from?

6:17 pm

negativeneil

I'm sure we have some wire around here somewhere.

6:18 pm

ChampFit

Same thing, don't you think? Just make it skinny....

6:18 pm

negativeneil

I'd better not seriously do this. My better half will be taking photos and putting them online if I do.

6:18 pm

ChampFit

New profile pic, coming up!

6:19 pm

welki

Tell her it's research

6:19 pm

negativeneil

Haha. That won't stop her trying to embarrass me. She lives for that stuff.

6:19 pm

blueheron

are you talking about my favorite martian?

6:19 pm

negativeneil

Do you mean Marvin, with the brush on his head? He's my personal favorite.

6:20 pm

ChampFit

Blueheron, that was long, long ago!

6:20 pm

blueheron

omg

6:20 pm

negativeneil

Oh nm. "My Favorite Martian"... yeah.

6:20 pm

negativeneil

I'm not awake today. At all.

6:21 pm

welki

Heck, that's why we're here. If people are humiliating us, they leave the other poor schmucks alone *lol*

6:21 pm

blueheron

funny man!!

6:21 pm

negativeneil

I swear I've been sleepwalking around in a zombielike daze since I got out of bed this morning.

6:21 pm

negativeneil

I think that's definitely one of my great purposes in life, welki.

6:21 pm

blueheron

maybe it's the tinfoil hat.

6:22 pm

blueheron

lol

6:22 pm

negativeneil

I didn't even make THAT yet, blue.

6:22 pm

negativeneil

But I probably should.

6:22 pm

blueheron

was there lightning there?

6:22 pm

negativeneil

A tinfoil yarmulke. :P

6:23 pm

blueheron

maybe you had a shock treatment that left you clueless

6:23 pm

blueheron

yarmulke?

6:24 pm

negativeneil

Ha. It's the tinfoil hat.

6:24 pm

blueheron

yep

6:24 pm

welki

gotta run - dogs need to be fed and so do i. later, people

6:24 pm

blueheron

see you welki!! take care

6:24 pm

negativeneil

Yes, blueheron... aka a "kippah". Google it.

6:24 pm

negativeneil

Take care welki... and return soon.

6:25 pm

blueheron

is that like marmaduke?

6:25 pm

negativeneil

Uhhh, no. Not unless he was a Jewish dog and religious enough to attend shul and wear one on his head. :P

6:26 pm

blueheron

I know now. Thank's.

6:26 pm

negativeneil

Does that answer your question now? ;)

6:26 pm

negativeneil

Haha, yeah.

6:27 pm

blueheron

are you on facebook?

6:28 pm

blueheron

send me an email. wckittielover274@gmail.com

6:28 pm

blueheron

nite

6:28 pm

negativeneil

Well not really. I have an old empty page on there I do not connect with anyone on, because FB is unusable to me due to there being no privacy there.

6:29 pm

negativeneil

Why do you want an email? My address is on profile if you want to send me one too.

6:29 pm

Kenny Chuck

Clue for the first go5?

6:29 pm

negativeneil

I'm just waiting to delete my old FB account, once I get the remaining contacts moved to another network.

6:30 pm

Kenny Chuck

Found it!

6:30 pm

negativeneil

Oh good Kenny. Sorry... was elsewhere for a minute or two there.

Hi Jilly. How are you?

Yes, we have one here Molly. Some great prices on "get-aways"

8:04 pm

Nef

8:05 pm

MollyL

That's great Nef. That is such a pick me up for a house.

8:06 pm

Jillyjill

LOL, Molly the salmon was unsalvagable (remember I'm a nurse). So quickly put the roasted potatoes and fresh asparagus to keep warm and defrosted another two salmon steaks.

I am not sure, Nef. They are sort of dumb. Bird-brains, you know.

Nef

cute as in my son's age, Molly. He was in ahurry, but polite (the ER and hospital were both at full capacity

8:40 pm

stidmama

Nef, would his name be on any of the paperwork DH came home with?

8:41 pm

Nef

LOL, stid! I wondered what Lucky had eaten!

8:41 pm

Nef

Nope, stid. 3 different docs saw DH that night (it was another 8 hour ER visit)

8:42 pm

stidgmere

We decided not to go to the pot luck this evening. Dad was quite happy when I suggested I could whip up a nice dinner at home.

8:42 pm

stidmama

well, so far he has only tried to nibble one once, this afternoon. Usually he is interested but not aggressive.

8:42 pm

stidmama

I think that is a good idea, Mother -- well done.

stidgmere

And so to the grid. Not the griddle.

unfortunately, he being a LARGE predatory critter and they being small prey critters, I know that he is likely to try to taste test one of these days.

8:43 pm

Lucky and the parakeet.

8:43 pm

stidmama

Nef, I am sorry you had such a long ER visit. We have gone a few times to the ER for the boys, and it is imho a horrible place

one thing I'm thinking is that if people (singular) are "people" and corporations (made up of people) also count as "people"; then *someone* gets more than one vote!

Foil hats? Why not foil slippers to keep the vibrations from reaching the sole?

9:00 pm

no actually wht that quote is a compliment to lawyers. . .it is two bad guys in shakespear who, once they take over the legitimate government, want to kill all the lawyers lest they figure out before everyone else what is going on

Mostly they want them to stop from contributing to electoral campaigns.

9:29 pm

I got bored quick. Most "erotica" in the "literary" genre (Best Women's Erotica, et al) is trying to be both literary and sexy at the same time and thus fails at both... but cheesy and poorly written is also horrible

9:29 pm

10:01 pm

Nef

very true, Jilly (but we got to wear them as young girls, how odd wass that?

10:01 pm

10:02 pm

MollyL

I almost choked on my coffee when I read one of those "what kids say" emails that said "Mary got pregnant with Jesus because she had an immaculate contraption".

10:02 pm

Nef

as an RN in a Catholic hospital, if a nun came through and thought your uniform was too short you had to kneel and if the uniform wasn't touching the floor, you were in trouble!

10:03 pm

viajes

wtf is this go9 word? I just monkeyed it but it says it's a merganser and I don't know what that is either.

10:03 pm

viajes

All of my contraptions are immaculate.

10:03 pm

Nef

megansers are ducks

10:03 pm

I have been laughing all day at people cluing it as a merganser. Like anyone knows what THAT means.

10:04 pm

jmcnrick

its a duck viajes

10:04 pm

I thought it had to be exactly the floor, Nef, and even if it was longer, that was bad too.

10:04 pm

Jillyjill

When I was a new grad, my nurses hat got caught in the elevator...never wore one again...Catholic hospital required it, but no one ever forced me ...

10:04 pm

it's a fish go5, according to Mr. Dictionary

10:04 pm

I nearly went bald wearing the darn nursing cap! They were your usual midwest wide front; but there was only one place to put a bobby pin in on top and my hair is still sparse up in that spot!

10:06 pm

jmcnrick

i put up with a lot for my mother's sake but measuring my skirt crossed the line

10:06 pm

Jillyjill

You want a laugh....now the rule is it can't be shorter than the end of your finger tips with hands down by side...

10:06 pm

jmcnrick

so if you have short arms. . . .

10:06 pm

I guess at The Little Genius Day School, they go to the lake to feed the mergansers.

10:07 pm
