well you know, that was the greek way... sex with young boys/men was kind of common. pedophile comes from child love, this word has same start (child) but different ending. not a common word in today's usage.
12:24 am
hokie carla
kept seeing a phantom tr7, but then I realized it actually exists.
12:24 am
hurshy
cause you know the greeks didn't marry women for love, just for like, children, i guess, and there was great separation between the sexes socially, so all the close emotional bonds were within the same sex, and so then...
12:25 am
cosdem
not seeing it ugh

this little story will give you a bit more insight into my mrs..around out 7th aniversary i said to her"hey hon,how about we invite a nice female friend to join us to,you know,spice things up a bit?" and without a pause she said "sure go ahead,but i will leave you for the other woman exactly 6 months later and we will both sue you for alimony"
10:56 am
Deeha
My brother used to tell his wife he was leaving her for his beautiful mistress(joke)and she would say why does she want a quadraplegic - he'd say I'm not. You'll prbably be ahead of me here - she'd say you wil be if you leave.
10:58 am

i sould invest in sod farms now for next year cause 90% of the lawns in my area are done,dead.they will never come back now
10:59 am
rururocks
<---thinks front lawns should go away
11:00 am
rururocks
for things that use less water
11:00 am
bichon
We've had enough rain to keep lawn and garden alive, but we're lucky.
11:00 am
crosshair
saw one fella down the street gave up and did the lawn like they do in dry climates,decorative stone,wood chips,dry grasses etc
11:00 am
bichon
But, lawns produce cooling
11:00 am
crosshair
they do indeed bichon
11:00 am
rururocks
that's because they use so much h20 bichon
11:01 am
crosshair
take away all the green ruru and you have nevada lol

Hi there
just a quick shout out to the English on here - great job on the Olympics! Opening was incredible and my family has been enjoying watching the competition. Also, congrats on the medal wins!
11:01 am
rururocks
here it is a total waste
11:01 am
rururocks
most of my neighbors have big lawns
11:02 am
bichon
and probably sprinkler systems. We don't water anything unless it's a new planting. And, I used the dehumidifyer water on the plants
11:02 am
crosshair
last thing we want to do is have less green space
11:02 am
rururocks
I don't feel any cooling from them
11:03 am
crosshair
lay on a lawn ru..they lay on a space filled with crushed gravel..will give you a nice comparison
11:04 am

trust us,they cool
11:04 am

i agree there ru.my brother says vegas is in critical stage with tap water.they seem to have but a single aquifer they draw from

in that case,front lawns are a no go
11:06 am
rururocks
pe + the beginning of what you do with a book oggy
11:06 am
bichon
try convincing people of that crossy
11:06 am

we either have feast of famine when it comes to rain... lush yard or crunchy.
11:07 am

and then for the pe 6 toss another vowell in

if your water situation can afford it,have lawns,if not,don,t
11:07 am

11:07 am

well.. if I had my own private lake.. maybe
11:07 am

In Israel, lots of people have cactus gardens.
11:09 am
crosshair
as long as we still get a winter,i am afraid cactus gardens are out
11:10 am
rururocks
that's because cactus is really easy to replace once the mortar shells are removed
11:10 am

For a really hot summer, I'm surprised how much rain we've had since the beginning of July
11:10 am

Peri... your picture on your profile is MUCH too big to see... you'll have to re-format it
1:26 pm
dianedecoder
I mean here, in Babble
1:29 pm
periwinkle
I don't know how to reformat.
1:29 pm
periwinkle
that looks like a picture of the balloon
1:30 pm
dianedecoder
I think you have to first change the resolution of the picture. I know that once I posted a HUGE picture and everyone told me it was slowing down the workings of Babble... so I just removed it
1:31 pm
periwinkle
now do you see me with big red lips
1:32 pm
dianedecoder
I do, but I have to move around in the picture to see them
1:32 pm

even the thumbnail is slow to load
1:32 pm

amelu0218
there are quite a few sites that you can use to resize your picture/avatar. I've used them before...
1:33 pm
periwinkle
I don't know how to fix that.
1:33 pm
periwinkle
they upload just fine to FB
1:33 pm
periwinkle
they were all taken with the same camera
1:34 pm
dianedecoder
Just remove it for now, and work on it later, because I think it is slowing Babble down.
1:34 pm
MollyL
You can resize it in Paint.
1:34 pm
uusue2
you can resize it using Paint, if you are on a Windows computer
1:35 pm
uusue2
(great minds think alike!)
1:35 pm
periwinkle
I am in the process of changing it back to the baloon
1:35 pm
dianedecoder
thanks Molly... that would be the quickest way . First make a copy of the picture, Peri, and then just resize the copy.
1:35 pm
MollyL
Just make sure your dimensions are no bigger than 300
1:36 pm
dianedecoder
that way, you'll still have the original picture with the same resolution.
1:36 pm
dianedecoder
okay, balloon is back !!
1:37 pm

I am not computer literate. how to I make a copy of the picture?
1:37 pm

I tried to show a picture of me and one of zoe-anne but it did not work
1:37 pm
dianedecoder
right click on picture.... hit copy in the dropdown menu, and then hit paste.
1:38 pm
periwinkle
ok,thanks
1:38 pm
periwinkle
I will leave things alone for now
1:38 pm

I'm not on your Facebook list, or I'd take the picture from your photos and do it for you :-)
1:39 pm
dianedecoder
that is, if you got it successfully into Facebook
1:39 pm
uusue2
you can have it a little bigger than 300, mine are usually 600x600
1:39 pm

a different picture is on FB.I a wearing white jeans and a flowered top. and there is a picture of zoe-anne too
1:40 pm

can I look for you on FB.... e.g.... do you want to share your user name ??

1:46 pm
periwinkle
don;'t know sue
1:46 pm

You don't need to make a copy of the picture if it's on your computer. Just open it with Paint and re-size it. By the way, that is a funny picture Peri.

Red, you made me laugh this morning when you posted that you needed to "put on pants and go to work." I was so glad that pants were a part of that schedule. : D

How are you Jean? Haven't seen you around in a while.
6:56 pm
redturtlehead
Pants are so important Molly!
6:57 pm
MollyL
Red, I was secretly hoping you put on the sauna pants, but I figured those don't fly at work. : )
6:57 pm
redturtlehead
I did wear a pair of compression tights...and regular black pants.
6:57 pm
redturtlehead
Sauna pants not part of the dress code.
6:58 pm
redturtlehead
I did see my boss wearing peeptoe shoes today, also not allowed. :(
6:58 pm
redturtlehead
Hi Jean!
7:00 pm
redturtlehead
I have brutally injured, perhaps killed chat. Sorry folks.
7:05 pm
MollyL
Hush, you didn't kill the chat.
7:05 pm

Isn't it dangerous (falling needles) for nurses to wear any kind of open shoe?
7:07 pm
uusue2
hi again all!
7:08 pm
MollyL
Sue, I am kind of scared of your icon. : O
7:08 pm

My Boss is like me, she is the Risk Manager. We don't handle needles.
7:08 pm
redturtlehead
Hi Sue!
7:09 pm
redturtlehead
Really excited to see what comes back from the Mars Curiosity!!!!
7:09 pm
redturtlehead
but yes, it is risky anyway.
7:09 pm

it's actually a pretty cool video, molly, but I know what you mean about the icon (screen shot)
7:09 pm

I have a friend who is a hospital administrator, and she loves to say that "it is a man's *&% dream that hospital administrators dress like Lisa Cuddy" (House)
7:13 pm
redturtlehead
congrats lbd!!!
7:13 pm
redturtlehead
Hysterical. My Boss is 62 years old, so we want here to continue dressing like she does...
7:14 pm
Shirlockc
you mean they don't, molly? ;)
7:14 pm
redturtlehead
I should add she looks "Several decades over herstated age"
7:15 pm
MollyL
Hahaha...her stated age...that is such a medical term.
: )
7:16 pm
uusue2
ha, I just totally made up the pr7, for my last 7. 11 left.
7:16 pm
redturtlehead
I just about fell off my chair the other day I was reading a chart on a 91 yr old, and the Doc wrote, :She appears several decades older than her stated age" and I'm thinking, like...she looks 120?
7:17 pm
MollyL
Having been involved in medical transcription lately, I am convinced that most of the reports doctors dictate are done while sleep deprived.
7:17 pm
redturtlehead
I'd agree to that.
7:18 pm

3rd is to go over the manuscript again before publishing
7:22 pm
lbdawger
hi jilly
7:23 pm
lbdawger
sorry about that, mbh. apparently i can't count tonight.
7:23 pm
Kaplan the Magne
You can even go over the manuscript BEFORE you go over the manuscript!
7:23 pm
Jillyjill
Hi Dawg...nice weather but certainly feeling like fire weather *fingers crossed* no fires...
7:23 pm
MollyL
*Passes Jilly an early gin related night cap*
7:23 pm
redturtlehead
thanks Kap. I am down to 35...
7:23 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Now, there's a feat!
7:24 pm
redturtlehead
the gin, or the fact that I am down to 35?
7:24 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Wouldn't that be WRITING it?
7:24 pm
Jillyjill
Thanks Molly!
7:24 pm
MollyL
No, going over the manuscript before you go over the manuscript.
7:25 pm
Kaplan the Magne
How exactly do you pr*ed4 something?
7:25 pm
MollyL
I object to pr7/36.
7:26 pm
MollyL
I was half expecting preread to be okay after getting that one.
7:26 pm
Kaplan the Magne
you can pr*write something, right?
7:26 pm
MollyL
No you can't. You can't write something before you write it. Not in my world.
7:26 pm
Kaplan the Magne
PB Molly. It's been a while since I've put anyone there.
7:27 pm
Kaplan the Magne
But if you haven't written your book yet, it's pr*written.
7:28 pm
Kaplan the Magne
So again, how do you pre7 something? Just write it?
7:28 pm
Kaplan the Magne
What does that even MEAN?
7:28 pm
Jillyjill
Well, grill ready for fish...bbl to finish this...*poof*
7:28 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Cop out.
7:29 pm
MollyL
Who knows. Enable is so dumb, it only gives the definition for ed4 for pr7.
7:30 pm
Kaplan the Magne
What do you expect from a dictionary that doesn't recognize daycare?
7:31 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I can see something being pr7ED, as an adjective, but not as a verb form.
7:31 pm

Heya Jellen ..Heyas kids ..

pr 7: (computer science)
To edit data before feeding it to a computer.
7:32 pm
Kaplan the Magne
PB PB PB! What is with you guys! is there no PB anymore?
7:32 pm
Kaplan the Magne
have you no decency?
7:32 pm
MollyL
Nope, not at all. People blurt out grid words as much as they blurt out clues no one asked for. It's total anarchy.
7:33 pm
Kaplan the Magne
That was yesterday with the premature clues, right?
7:33 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I had all the 8s in the first five minutes, just from saying hello.
7:34 pm
uusue2
Hi jellen, torgone, BR!
7:34 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Who's minding the store?
7:34 pm
o-o
I think many here like to start by precomplaining and before the real thing
7:34 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Hi to all who just arrived.
7:35 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I must be the many.
7:35 pm
MollyL
It's a lost concept that people actually like to find words in the grid on their own.
7:35 pm
Kaplan the Magne
You mean like the White Queen.
7:35 pm
o-o
I close the chatterbox and do that
7:36 pm
MollyL
And there is a difference between complaining and wondering why people do things.
7:36 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Remember- she screamed before she pricked herself with the needle, and stopped when it happened?
7:36 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I love Lewis Carroll.
7:36 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I never complain.
7:36 pm
o-o
In this case, a distinction without a difference
7:36 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I precomplain.
7:37 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Once it happens, I'm over it.
7:38 pm
MollyL
Kap, chat is a lot like Lewis Carroll sometimes.
7:38 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Your icon reminds me of AJ Soprano discovering "Nitch."
7:39 pm
Kaplan the Magne
None of it means anything.
7:39 pm
MollyL
And some of it means everything.
7:40 pm
Kaplan the Magne
All or nothing.
7:41 pm
Kaplan the Magne
And those silly trolls thought we didn't know we are ridiculous all by ourselves.
7:41 pm

It's like when my kids sneer at me watching Days of Our Lives. If they were REALLY smart, they would be telling me why Public Television is stupid.

you and BR are very special people that we love.
7:45 pm

I have never been so insulted in all my life.
7:46 pm

No, I am a pariah here .... ostracized for being weird
7:46 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I think I need to go to bed. I am clearly not getting anywhere.
7:46 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Yeah, right.
7:46 pm
o-o
Hope you are well and smiling Holly
7:47 pm
Kaplan the Magne
How did we finally get rid of the trolls yesterday?
7:48 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Was there an explosion? Were they evaporated?
7:48 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Was there a moment when they felt themselves disappearing?
7:50 pm
lbdawger
BR you're ostracized? did it hurt? ;-) weird is the modern cool.
7:51 pm
lbdawger
i'm so glad i missed out on the trolls. the grid yesterday was too big for nonsense.

8:02 pm
cosdem
not that big of a fan
8:03 pm
cosdem
but yeah ty :)
8:07 pm
MollyL
It's a unique part of your history to be able to say you saw a President in person, whether you are a fan or not.
8:07 pm
cosdem
yes yes it is. I've seen 3 actual President, Obama would be the 4th
8:08 pm
cosdem
I mean. Presidents while in office.
8:09 pm
MollyL
That's cool Cos. Not too many people can say that.

The problem is, we can't get a man with balls into The White House. (May get banned for saying that)
8:19 pm

I've seen worse language here.
8:19 pm
Jillyjill
We cannot get a Congress with any balls either (gladly joining molly in banishment!)

I'm not that big of a Hilary fan either, but she was the clear choice and I still don't understand why the Democrats (sorry Cos) dissed her.
8:29 pm

I didn't diss her :) I was a delegate for her.
8:29 pm
cosdem
she actually got more VOTES than Obama. Obama got more delegates though.

No, I meant no slam to your party of choice. I'll never understand why a candidate with Hilary's experience was passed over for someone with literally no experience.
8:34 pm
cosdem
I agree Molly. Totally.
8:36 pm
Dorens
A - she was a woman and a lot of folks weren't ready yet.
8:37 pm
Dorens
B- she got negative feelings for some as being opportunistic.. (rumors that she only stayed with Bill because of political ambition
8:37 pm
cosdem
my point is: more democratic primary voters voted for Hillary than they did for Obama. however the system was set up so Obama got more delegates.
8:37 pm

sandra day o'connor gave an interview yesterday and talked about her deciding vote in bush v gore. she says she would have still done the same thing today.
8:39 pm

when the news networks called FL for Gore in 2000. O'Connor was heard on tv saying "this is terrible news" --- that alone should have made her rescue herself.

just interesting to see their "interpretations" are
11:03 pm
stidmama
pattern recognition... allows us to filter some of the mental "noise" to get at what we are really dealing with I think.
11:03 pm
jmcnrick
:-) that is true . . . hearing someone else say something can sometimes help you see things differently
11:04 pm
cosdem
a fun way to get a 2nd perspective lol
