I forgot. We have apples and pears, too. One particularly delicious apple tree is called Cornish Aromatic. I have never tasted apples like them. Sweet, but with a bite to them, and incredibly juicy.

i know people worry about loss of contact between doctors and patients but there are SOME things where an exam really is a waste of time, i think.

11:15 am

No, no, no. You don't give someone something that YOU would like.

I agree with Molly. You give something nice by thinking of the person and finding out what he or she would love.

I don't want etiquette.. I"m charming enough as it is

That's the thing. If JMC had expressed an interest in something like that, it would be a thoughtful gift. Since she didn't, I think it was very insensitive.
11:17 am
rururocks
the most cynical man in the world
11:17 am
rururocks
truly jmc.. emily post would roll over twice
11:18 am
jmcnrick
and i agree with you molls that it is a better thing to give something someone has expressed an interest in. . . and that is why she gave me a crepe myrtle of my choice when my yard is back
11:18 am
jmcnrick
so would miss manners i suspect ru if miss manners were dead
11:18 am
sprite
jmc, you should only accept it if you really want to go. Since you don't, don't accept it. You can easily give it back without insulting her, I think... just tell her you appreciate the intension but the gift is absolutely not for you.

I have to say though... that I think the judges are not doing a great job
12:06 pm
stidmama
hey BR.
12:07 pm
cybernan
but I assume it begins with french fire
12:07 pm
medusa
thanks guys
12:07 pm
cybernan
same with the sync diving, stid -- the judging is really an opinion
12:07 pm
stidmama
nan, meant babblet: french for fire, ends with chemical symbol for argon
12:08 pm
cybernan
very subjective
12:08 pm
o-o
there is no better clue than the one at 12:05
12:08 pm
cybernan
chemistry? -- that lets me out
12:08 pm
stidmama
What I see is that they are reducing difficulty for missed elements (which should be an execution consideration) and not giving penalties for things like stepping out on dismounts.
12:08 pm
stidmama
try the first two letters of the element I named...
12:09 pm
crosshair
totaly lost the clue direction for that fe 5 with fires in quebec and babblers speaking french lol
12:09 pm

uphill battle, this gr4.
1:12 pm

so - long ago I discovered that the kids I tutor can write on my car with dry erase markers, no harm, no foul. For whatever reason, this embarrasses my two daughters beyond measure. So today, at break time, I let ALL the kids at work write on my car -- They all wrote messages to the daughters -- it is SO FUNNY! I am going to take a ton of photos, and then wash the car
1:13 pm
Trifioso
One of them wrote "Hey all of (Secondo's) friends, look at this!" and they wrote stuff like "does this embarrass you (Tertiare)?" I was DYING laughing
1:13 pm
car.eeyore
Luv it!

hi all! sitting around in the nursing home while my friend is off at radiation therapy...
2:04 pm
uusue2
...and not having much luck finding actual words in this gr**
2:05 pm
Bugsaw
hi uusue. I just started this and it is not very easy right off the bat
2:05 pm
MollyL
Hi Sue. Nice of you to be there with him while he goes through his treatment. I'm sure it is comforting to him.
2:05 pm
uusue2
hi bugs! and hi molly!
2:06 pm
uusue2
yes, Frank goes with him to treatment and I stay behind in his room so he doesn't have to pack up all his stuff while he is gone (ugh)
2:07 pm
Bugsaw
ou mean people take stuff if you are not in your room there? How sad
2:07 pm
MollyL
You and Frank are good people. He is lucky to have you as friends.
2:07 pm
uusue2
well, I think they tell him to do that to avoid any liability - they also have Alzheimer's patients wandering around, and who knows what they can get into?
2:08 pm
uusue2
In the local county home they have a separate Alzheimer's wing, which makes more sense to me - we are trying to get him in there but there is a waiting list
2:10 pm
MollyL
In my experience with places that care for Alzheimer's patients, it's always better to have them in a separate place.
2:10 pm
Bugsaw
dementia is so devastating. I am sure they were people who wud never have taken anything that didn't belong to them when they were healthy. It is one of the things that cause them distress in the early stages
2:11 pm
uusue2
there's one lady who keeps coming in and insisting he's in her room, that there's a woman in bed with him, that someone's in the bathroom - if we call the staff they come get her, but it's distressing
2:12 pm
uusue2
ah well. I get to babble while he is gone :-)
2:12 pm
MollyL
Distressing is a good word to describe anything to do with dementia.
2:12 pm
Bugsaw
I think the people who work with dementia patients are saints
2:14 pm
uusue2
well, I have managed to get exactly half way here but it has been a struggle!
2:14 pm
MollyL
I do too Bugs. After my Dad passed, we got his nursing team some flowers to say thank you for all they had done for him.
2:15 pm
uusue2
and I agree too, bugs, I think that is one of the hardest things to deal with - and they can linger for years (as happened to my grandfather). Very sad.

2:19 pm
Bugsaw
Marc: hu + come **side
2:21 pm
uusue2
right, hu** ergo parce Deus - part of the Requiem (so if you are Catholic, or sang a lot of choral music, maybe that will help)

2:25 pm
Bugsaw
oops I need a break PB for me
2:25 pm

Dominus vobiscum, yes I am. However, not many places perform the Requiem in Latin anymore.
2:25 pm

3:18 pm
MollyL
Isn't er5/14 a fungus?
3:18 pm
stidmama
sometimes caffeine does and sometimes it doesn't with me. There was one night when I did a LOT of work on a project for school (couldn't sleep) next day, it was illegible.
3:19 pm
flosey

3:19 pm
stidmama
Looked like chickens had walked all over it.

3:48 pm
cosdem
exactly. once i got the weird ones done it came easy
3:49 pm
cosdem
and after a year and half of babblng. i finally figured otu a trick

a federal judge, a republican appointed by GW Bush, today ruled Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional
3:57 pm
MollyL
See, not all Republicans are bad. : D
3:58 pm
MollyL
And, ahem, it was a Democratic President who signed that one into law. : P
3:59 pm
MollyL
But then, he never too marriage very seriously in the first place.
4:00 pm
MollyL
*took marriage
4:25 pm
Marc Freeman
I am back, I am trying to get this done between meetings. Could I get a clue for ca8, please?

4:31 pm
sciencegeek
oops the 8 reading clues
4:37 pm
Marc Freeman
So Molly are you saying you are against gay marriage? I am not gay and happily married for 38 years but just wanted to know.
4:38 pm
MollyL
No, not at all. I'm very much for anyone being able to marry anyone they want. I was just pointing out who did the legislating.
4:39 pm
Marc Freeman
Which legislation? The Defense of Marriage Act? Wasn't that done by a Republican against gay marriage?
4:39 pm
MollyL
It was signed into legislature by Bill Clinton.
4:40 pm
Marc Freeman
I don't understand why he would sign that bill? Is that bill for or against gay marriage? I am sorry I am so confused.
4:42 pm
sciencegeek
or 5?
4:44 pm
MollyL
It's a bill that only recognizes male/female marriage. I was just teasing Cos, it's no big deal.
5:04 pm

Glantarell
Hi all. Back for the last 73. Is is me or is this a tricky grid?
5:44 pm
stidmama
noswaith dda, glantarell!
5:44 pm
stidmama
it's tricky. I am slowly making my way forward at 54 and considering listing at 50.
5:44 pm
Glantarell
noswaith dda Stidmama - sut wy ti?
5:45 pm
Glantarell
I'm listing now LOL
5:45 pm
stidmama
not bad, and you?
5:45 pm
stidmama
well, you have to get up MUCH sooner than I do! LOL
5:45 pm
Glantarell
iawn, diolch. Had a lovely evening woth my knitting/crochet/spinning group
5:46 pm
Glantarell
oh, I will aim to be at work tomorrow at ten - thank goodness for flexitime!
5:46 pm
stidmama
Do you know, in the last two weeks my body is telling me it only wants 7 hours of sleep? I think I may be getting healthier... So I am going to start staying up a little later and getting up as soon as I am awake instead of thinking I need to try to get back to sleep.
5:46 pm
stidmama
what fun! I haven't been part of a crafting group before. I am a closet crafter...
5:47 pm
Glantarell
7 hours is good. I get between 5 and 6 hours most nights these days - and then every now and then i seem to have a 'catch up' night where i slee 9 or 10 hours
5:48 pm
Glantarell
there are just half a dozen of us, and we meet in a bar once a fortnight, and craft and chatter for 2-3 hours. It's my entiore social life LOL
5:48 pm
stidmama
I usually seem to really need 9 hours of sleep; but it's summer, and we are finally getting sunlight so perhaps my internal clock is resetting. OR it could be the whole getting older thing and no longer being able to sleep.
5:49 pm
stidmama
sounds like a lovely evening to look forward to -- fortnight = two weeks, yes?
5:49 pm
stidmama
ah. down to 49. listing.
5:49 pm
Glantarell
yes, two weeks - don;t you have fortnights?
5:50 pm
stidmama
mostly Americans say bi-weekly, or 'every two weeks'
5:50 pm
Glantarell
we had an American guest member tonight, one of our regular member's mum
5:50 pm
stidmama
I don't think anyone in my acquaintance actually says fortnight, although all the Anthony Trollope novels I used to read used it.
5:50 pm
Glantarell
i'd think bi-weekly was twice a week LOL
5:52 pm
stidmama
that would make sense, too, Glantarell! hm. Did I mean bi monthly??? *sigh* I am fighting another migraine, and I think my language circuits are being affected as much as my eyes
5:52 pm
Glantarell
painkillers and a dark room, quickly - it's the only way...
5:54 pm
stidmama
too late, actually... it's a low-grade that isn't going to respond at this point to much of anything. It started this morning, abated for a while and came back while I was out of the house with Mother.
5:55 pm
Glantarell
ouch...
5:56 pm
stidmama
yep. I am going to be fuzzy. Just had to confirm that 1/3 of 30 is ten. *sigh* If I take exedrin now I will be up really late. But maybe I should anyway.
5:56 pm
stidmama
but I found the word I wanted...
5:57 pm
Glantarell
good... and you can always catch up on sleep
5:57 pm
Glantarell
I should be thinking about sleep but am wide awake
5:57 pm
stidmama
too much coffee with friends?
5:58 pm
Glantarell
i'lll pay for it tomorrow or the day after, but i think i'll stay up and try to finish ths one - midnight now LOL
5:58 pm
Glantarell
no coffee - just two galsses of what you call hard cider
5:59 pm
stidmama
sounds tasty, at least! LOL If I had that much I would be completely asleep!
5:59 pm
Glantarell
only half pint glasses, 2 hours apart...
5:59 pm
stidmama
oh, I was thinking bigger glasses!
6:00 pm
Glantarell
Lovely Welsh cider, called Taffy apple
6:00 pm
Glantarell
it's kind of a joke as a nickname for Welsh people is Taffs (after the river that runs through Cardiff, our capital city)
6:01 pm
stidmama
mmmmm. *wiping drool from keyboard*
6:03 pm
Glantarell
hmm, just tried anoxic and anoxi - all letters there but not in the right places LOL
6:03 pm
stidmama
oh! I didn't know there was a river with that name. cool!
6:04 pm
stidmama
I have tried several creative words, only a few of which worked.
6:04 pm
Glantarell
It's the river Taff - it runs for 50 miles from near Brecon (where I used to live) to Cardiff Bay
6:04 pm
stidmama
there is AN 6 which means without pee...
6:04 pm
Glantarell
with the an words, the 3rd letter is the last English vowel
6:05 pm
stidmama
I bet it's pretty -- do you have salmon that lay eggs in rivers like we do?
6:05 pm
stidmama
yep. that made them easier to find
6:06 pm
Glantarell
we do in mid Wales, also many trout. The Taff was one of the most polluted Welsh rivers 20 or so years ago but is really clean now, and the salmon and trout are just beginnng to be seen again now
6:06 pm
stidmama
I love when rivers recover. The whole world around them seems brighter.
6:07 pm
stidmama
We just took down some dams on the Olympic peninsula that were blocking the Elwha river, and already it's better.
6:07 pm
Glantarell
Fly fishing is a big deal in aprts of Wales, particularly along the Wye, Usk and Severn rivers - big tourist attraction
6:07 pm
stidmama
My dad used to fly fish. I remember going through his tackle box and examining all the flies
6:07 pm
Glantarell
Ours were bad form industrial pollution - mainly mines and metalworks
6:08 pm
stidmama
it's harder to recover from that, I think -- arsenic persists for such a long time
6:08 pm
Glantarell
My dad took me fly fishing every Saturday night after he finished work form when I was about 4 to when I was 8 - I only learned as an adult thta he did this because they were so poor thta if we didn;t bring fish back for Saturday dinner, then we didn;t eat dinner...
6:09 pm
Glantarell
for me, it was a special time of the week with my dad, where I learned about nature
6:09 pm
stidmama
oh my -- but what a great way to help your child learn a useful skill and spend time together.
6:10 pm
Glantarell
yes, i loved it - except for the night when we caught no trout and took eels home - my mum was not a happy woman LOL
6:10 pm
stidmama
my younger son likes gardening with me and I think he learns a lot, the elder never really did
6:11 pm
stidmama
I get squirmy just thinking about eels...
6:11 pm
Glantarell
so did he LOL
6:11 pm
Glantarell
but the killed it, chopped it and fried it - not sure we enjoyed it
6:11 pm
stidmama
your poor mother...
6:12 pm
Glantarell
but i love jellied eels these days, they are a rare speciality food here
6:12 pm
stidmama
well, when you are hungry you eat what comes home, right?
6:12 pm
periwinkle
jellied eels, not
6:12 pm
periwinkle
hi all
6:12 pm
stidmama
not sure I ever had eel except in sushi. I love unagi (which is in the gr4 but doesn't count)
6:12 pm
Glantarell
jellied eels are fab if they are doen well LOL
6:13 pm
periwinkle
unagi?
6:13 pm
Glantarell
i have never heard of unagi
6:13 pm
Glantarell
Hi Peri
6:13 pm
periwinkle
hey Glant
6:14 pm
stidmama
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unagi I like it better than anago
6:15 pm
MollyL
Yes Peri, I agree. Jellied eels, not.
6:16 pm
stidmama
I think I would try jellied eels -- it looks like they would be safe for me to eat
6:16 pm
Glantarell
Hi Molly
6:17 pm
stidmama
and hello molly
6:17 pm
Glantarell
Jellied eeels are really just poached in their won juices - taste lovely and easy to get off the bones
6:17 pm
stidmama
Rs and Us finally complete, down to 32
6:18 pm
stidmama
with enough taffy apple I think I could probably make do....
6:18 pm
Glantarell
:-) and I would love to try unagi
6:19 pm
stidmama
I think you would like it. It is served with a sweet sauce, and it's very tender.
6:19 pm
Glantarell
Japanese restaurants are very uncommon here - we have very few japanese people living her
6:20 pm
Glantarell
or Koreans
6:20 pm
MollyL
Getting queasy...back later...
6:20 pm
stidmama
not surprising, you are quite on the other side of the world, while we are just on the other side of the ring of fire from each other. I really love Japanese and Korean food.
6:20 pm
Glantarell
Sorry Molly!
6:21 pm
stidmama
I have grown up with Asian food so that the flavors seem comfortable.
6:21 pm
Glantarell
Also, I guess some people arrived from those countries inot the US as a result of the wars
6:22 pm
Glantarell
We have plenty of Chinese restaurants and Tha food is more common too - but the British 'foreign' food of choice is Indian food...
6:23 pm
stidmama
yes, although the entire west coast had thriving chinese and japanese populations at various times in the 1800s -- until "exclusion acts" were passed (not unlike the current hateful things against Hispanics) and they were chased away. Or until the concentration camps in WWII
6:24 pm
Glantarell
what's ahppening wth th Hispanics?
6:25 pm
redturtlehead
I want more food. Hello!!!
6:25 pm
Glantarell
I got the impression on my last visit (2009) that Spanish was already the second language of the US and might even overtake English in terms of numebr f peope speaking it - especially in California
6:25 pm
stidmama
well, there are many people who feel that the only folks who do drugs, sell drugs or are otherwise engaged in crime are Hispanic, and they blame a porous border and lax enforcement of immigration law. They forget that Hispanics were, by and large, part of North America long before there were United States and Canada... and they resent the use of Spanish by anyone at any time.
6:25 pm
Glantarell
Hi Red - I am eating hand fried crisps (potato chips)
6:26 pm
funhs
thought the japanese and germans were allies. hard to believe that the germans put their allies into concentration camps.
6:26 pm
stidmama
My grandmother's aunt was the first Anglo baby born in one part of the Los Angeles basin, but certainly not the first baby with European ancestry.
6:26 pm
stidmama
hey red!
6:28 pm
Glantarell
My mother's family were all on their way to NY in the 1800s then realised that one family member would never get through Ellis Island (ill health) so they got ff the ship in Liverpool and laid terrazo floors there when the city was growing rapidly, and stayed..
6:29 pm
stidmama
the United States put its own citizens who had Japanese ancestry in concentration camps -- no matter how far removed in generations; from the Pacific Ocean to the Rockies they had to leave everything behind...
6:29 pm
stidmama
ah Glantarell -- amazing how people's lives and histories work, isn't it?
6:29 pm
stidmama
I guess it's a good thing her family stayed where one day your mother would be able to meet your father
6:30 pm
Glantarell
My mother's fmily were designated 'aliens' in the second world war - even though they were partly second generation immigrants - they didn;t get put into camps but restrictions were placed upon them
6:30 pm
stidmama
I fear that similar things are now being done to people with Hispanic ancestry and names.
6:30 pm
Glantarell
yes, good job my mum and dad met LOL
6:30 pm
stidmama
Oh -- were they German?
6:31 pm
Glantarell
Italian
6:31 pm
stidmama
WAY cool! (molto bene, I mean)
6:31 pm
funhs
lots of things happened in that war that seemed necessary at the time.
6:31 pm
Glantarell
I apprecite that funhs
6:32 pm
Glantarell
I suppose a lot of things happen in every war that seemed to be the right things at the time
6:32 pm
Glantarell
even though we may feel differently wiht the benefit of hindsight
6:34 pm
funhs
hopefully hindsight helps us avoid making the same mistakes twice. there's not a lot of evidence that it actually happens that way but that's my theory.
6:34 pm
redturtlehead
Family history is so interesting...My Grandmother was adopted under dubious circumstances, so our history kind of ends there...
6:34 pm
stidmama
Yes, it was clearly necessary that schoolchildren be kept behind barbed wire, hundreds of miles from home. No, I don't believe it was considered necessary, I think it was a way to demonize innocent people and make it look as if the government was in charge. And I don't believe much was learned.
6:35 pm
Glantarell
My great great grandfather appears to have been the product of some 'droit de seigneur' and was taken to a monastery immediately after being born, so tht's one line of research which is at a standstill
6:35 pm
redturtlehead
What frightens me Stidmama is that many many kids and adults don't even know about the internment camps...
6:36 pm
Glantarell
Have you read 'The Striped Pyjamas'? Everybody should.
6:36 pm
funhs
weren't those school children with their parents?
6:36 pm
stidmama
oh really, Glantarell? Wow... unless you can find a male descendent and trace Y-chromosome that way
6:36 pm
redturtlehead
I have not yet. I admit, I am currently feeling overwhelmed with work...
6:37 pm
Glantarell
What's worse, Red, is htose who are denying they ever happened. I went to Belsen last year, appalling when you see the scale of deaths recorded on the memorails
6:37 pm
stidmama
there were also camps for German-Americans and Italian-Americans, I believe, but they were not as extensive.
6:38 pm
stidmama
oh red -- not still? *worried mama look*
6:38 pm
redturtlehead
I was never taught about them until I was in a private very liberal High School...
6:39 pm
redturtlehead
I am waiting for the Olympics prime time to come on, and there are so many spoliers.
6:39 pm
stidmama
my grandmother lost friends in the Nazi camps... she was here, but not her friends
6:39 pm
stidmama
don't watch the TV until it comes on, red - you'll be happier.
6:40 pm
redturtlehead
Well, I admit, I knew the results of themens relay and watched a replay at 4 am and was still totally excited...
6:41 pm
stidmama
I was so very sad about the mens team coverage -- they showed only the worst moments, it seemed, and I know those young men did have good moments, too. But honestly -- the pommel horse was almost universally awful. They just seem to lack the upper body strength.
6:42 pm
stidmama
any help on the GA 6 that leads off that group?
6:42 pm
Glantarell
don;t have it yet
6:43 pm
stidmama
I have been staring and monkeying it for ages it seems
6:44 pm
Glantarell

6:47 pm

I was really sad about the mens competiton too. they are an inspiring group but they did suck at the horse.
6:49 pm

Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone doing
6:49 pm
Minveryork
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Way to go!

I really like Orozco, and he felt just awful. I hope he will be able to grow from the experience.

6:51 pm

I don't know red -- have been trying to figure out how to find that info.
6:51 pm

6:52 pm

rofl sue!
6:54 pm

roflmao... the van has the parking brake as a pedal, and he forgot to release it, "I was backing it up, and thinking it was moving a lot slower than the other car..."
6:54 pm
stidmama
all A words
6:54 pm
Glantarell
I have lots of As LOL
6:55 pm
stidmama
yep, but you started from the top, like a normal person!
6:55 pm
Glantarell
I usually start with what jumps out at me then go to the bottom and work back
6:56 pm
stidmama
I do that too -- started listing at the bottom for a change, and that's a little more challenging for my brain
6:57 pm
Glantarell
I am missing 2 x Ar
6:57 pm
Glantarell
the first 2
6:58 pm
stidmama
my last two are 6-letter words, at least not as likely to be fishy
6:58 pm

AR 8 and the 5 after it perhaps?
6:58 pm
Glantarell

Can't help but comment on the odd sports, though - I taught a course in the physics of sports this spring and after doing some of the more usual ones (at least for us in the US) I did some less familiar ones (sumo, archery, sailing) and it was a lot of fun.

That happens in pubs (not bars) here, Molly. Mostly country pubs, what few are left after the smoking ban. Otherwise, it happens in Gentleman's Clubs - mostly containing Government ministers.

8:38 pm
