hello all - it amuses me how kids use as many swear words as they can as long as they think they are safe from the wrath of parents or teachers
1:30 am
flosey
and they think they have a captive audience
1:30 am
ursh
well I suppose in this case they do !!
1:32 am
flosey
some have actually been caught - seems they heard from a teacher?? quite a while ago
1:32 am

well done cos, I'm listing and have 57 yet to get
1:34 am
ursh
agree rbud - really have to sit on my hands not to pass a mean comment
1:34 am
jessmom
hi all - I think I remember that, flosey. The teacher used babble as a school activity, and then caught her students misbehaving. That was quite a while ago.
1:34 am
rbud
so many mental midgets around these days.
1:35 am
cosdem
lol a teacher let someone chat online?
1:36 am
jessmom
they were mainly supposed to be working on the puzzle, but some asked for help and others acted up
1:36 am
cosdem
recipe for disaster
1:38 am
jessmom
I'd like to think they were safe here, it was kind of cool that the teacher thought this was a good exercise
1:38 am
rbud
I have a rule at my library, no chat rooms - but the kids still go to game sites with SMS and little side chats like this one - it's hard for me to be too mean about it.
1:38 am
rbud
And the little boys play such icky games, seems the grosser the better
1:39 am
cosdem
give me plain old legend of zelda :)
1:39 am
flosey
sorry, left to get a drink, so cos, they were caught and (I think, if I remember correctly) they were known by a teacher who then spoke to them about the behaviour
1:40 am
cosdem
i can see how the game would benefit students though
1:42 am
rbud
sometimes all three other computers are taken up by three brothers who compete madly at the same game, though not actually playing against each other, you know. They don't seem to want to read, sigh...

Another library problem - our little local grade school is now closed as of last May, and the kids will now have a long bus ride to and from school. thinking of changing to slightly later hours so they might actually have a chance to come in. don't know how it will work out.
1:53 am
rbud
woohoo, cos!
1:53 am
flosey
that long day must be tough on little kids rbud,
1:54 am
gapeach
Congrats, cos!
1:54 am
rbud
I know, it's really sad. The new school isn't far away, really, but they've had to cut back on busses and drivers, so now one bus has to go to more towns to let them out. We're far down on the list.
1:55 am
flosey
I did that for one school year, grade 2, we had to walk about a mile to school, thenbe bussed to the next school while portables were being built

what's even sadder is, the next town over is much closer, but no one wants their kids to go there, as its about 75% Mexican. An odd little ethnic pocket in our area, complete with Spanish-speaking bars and grocery stores, etc.

Hello, lynxxx.
3:33 am
Haz1558
What about celebrity gossip? We could talk about celebs and their dogs, that'd have you asleep in no time.
3:33 am
jmcnrick
someone was talking about going to London. . . peri maybe?
3:33 am
jmcnrick
haha that would do it for sure. . . an irresistible combination
3:34 am
Haz1558
So, Paris Hilton and her chiuahua it is.
3:34 am
jmcnrick
does she have a chiuahua? poor beast
3:35 am
Haz1558
chiuahua - I think it is. You can't get rottweilers into handbags.
3:36 am
jmcnrick
do people dye chiuahuas like they do poodles?
3:36 am
Haz1558
Why can I not spell that word? Chihuahua or as husband pronounces it - Chi Hooah Hooah.
3:37 am
jmcnrick
don't look at me. . . i was just copying your spelling since you spell so much better than I
3:37 am

3:44 am
jmcnrick
no i woke up way early
3:44 am
lynxxx
That is sad to hear jmc
3:45 am
jmcnrick
i really hate it when people say it must have been my fault i was bit
3:45 am
rubyfoo
yes, like when husband was -- it was strictly the fault of the "MASTER"
3:45 am
lynxxx
yes you must stop pulling random dogs tails
3:45 am
Jivingjenny0
I seem to wake up at about 4 a.m. every morning, a real pain as I can never get back to sleep. This has been happening since I had to start taking steroids about a month ago
3:46 am
rubyfoo
OR CALLING THEM NAMES!
3:46 am
jmcnrick
oh poor jenny! well i am not taking steriods
3:47 am
Haz1558
It's the sight of jmc approaching them with a bottle of dye in her hand that has them reacting defensively.
3:47 am
jmcnrick
when my son and i would walk down the road and there was a dog i would put him in between me and the dog
3:47 am
rubyfoo
I need a handbag large enough for a chow -- funny idea -- it would have to be made in Chinca!
3:47 am
lynxxx
Although dogs do pick up on emotions somehow so maybe that has something to do with it. Although actually biting I am not sure about. I think you have just been plain unlucky
3:47 am
Jivingjenny0
they are miricle drugs - a month ago I couldn't walk without 2 sticks and was in constant pain, now I can walk anywhere and have thrown the sticks away and no pain!!
3:47 am
rubyfoo
or even China
3:47 am
Jayk
Hi jmcnrick! the curse will be lifted when you overturn CU!
3:48 am
jmcnrick
the worst was this dog trainer started training his dogs right outside my office door. . . I would be trapped for an hour
3:48 am
jmcnrick
yay jayk!
3:48 am
lynxxx
Sounds like waking up too early is well worthwhile Jenny. Glad you have found relief
3:48 am
jmcnrick
I will be emailing an article soon
3:48 am

3:52 am
jmcnrick
oo sorry ruby. . .the moment i hit send i worried i would hurt someones feelings :(
3:53 am
jmcnrick
i don't hate dogs so much as i am afraid of them. . . but i have been working to get over it
3:53 am
rubyfoo
no no, not to worry jmc. I am just watching my beloved Ruby fade away, so it is making me sad
3:53 am
jmcnrick
now when i see someone walking a dog i don't cross the street. . .
3:53 am
jmcnrick
oh how sad ruby!
3:54 am
rubyfoo
you would never say anything hurtful, jmc, and if you met my sweet dogs, it would help you get over your fear -- unless you didn't like to be licked
3:54 am
rubyfoo
the (huge) puppy is a licker!
3:55 am
jmcnrick
*shudders*
3:55 am
rubyfoo
hahah, that's why my sister doesn't like dogs
3:56 am
jmcnrick
i actually have a neighbor who fosters labs. . . but i know he would never tolerate his dogs to bite. . . he is great with them and i am not afraid even around new ones because he is so good with dogs
3:57 am
rubyfoo
that's a good thing for you, jmc, trusting the owner is very important
3:58 am

4:04 am
Haz1558
You're posing for Playboy?
4:04 am
grannyrose
my estranged son's wife contacted me, and we have spent the better part of the day, in the local pub, chatting. lots of tears, but also lots of laughs
4:04 am
Haz1558
That sounds better.
4:04 am
grannyrose
lol, haz, not quite yet. let me lose another 10kgs....
4:05 am
jmcnrick
oh does that mean there is hope for you being unestanged?
4:05 am
jmcnrick
my sister was in playboy
4:05 am
grannyrose
yes, jmc. and a lot of beliefs on both parts were shot down in flames today.
4:05 am
grannyrose
????? jmc. WOW!!!!
4:06 am
jmcnrick
ah mistaken beliefs . . . good things to go down in flames
4:06 am
Haz1558
Lots of assumptions on both sides, I presume?
4:07 am
jmcnrick
she was standing behind woodward and bernstein in the newsroom of the washington post when they were in an article about watergate in playboy. . .
4:07 am
grannyrose
yup. we have both resolved not to listen to other peeps. we will call one another and say....what the.....? and sort it out from there.
4:07 am
Jayk
AH! THAT makes sense
4:07 am
jmcnrick
my daddy loved to take it to the bars and say. . . my daughter was in playboy. . .want to see her picture?
4:08 am
grannyrose
lol, jmc.
4:08 am
grannyrose
what a naughty daddy!!!!
4:08 am
jmcnrick
good plan granny . . . communication is key in any relationship
4:08 am
Haz1558
Well, at least I can say with truth that I had breakfast with Michelle Obama....
4:08 am
jmcnrick
he was the man from whom i got my perverse sense of humor
4:09 am
jmcnrick
really haz? i did not know that!
4:09 am
Haz1558
You mean you haven't heard my breakfast with the Obamas story?
4:09 am
grannyrose
now the hard part is to pick up the phone and call my son. he probably won't answer, but at least he'll now i cared enough to reach out.
4:09 am
grannyrose
hey lyn
4:10 am
jmcnrick
no i missed that haz *settles in chair to listen*
4:10 am
grannyrose
me, too, haz
4:10 am
jmcnrick
it has to start somewhere granny
4:11 am
Haz1558
Short version - Nairobi, August 2006, when he was plain Senator Obama and visiting his father's homeland. We were staying in the same hotel, had breakfast with a very tall lady and two girls (black Americans), then saw them later when they emerged from a convoy to plant a tree in the local park.
4:12 am
Haz1558
We saw the then Senator later in the hotel talking to business people. It was interesting at the time, but riveting when it emerged that he was in the running for the presidency.
4:13 am
Haz1558
So, we always say that we had breakfast with the Obamas. The end.
4:13 am
Jayk
what a terrific story!
4:14 am
Haz1558
I don't suppose they remember us with quite so much clarity!
4:15 am
jmcnrick
haha! you can't never tell as loretta lynn says. . . politicians are good at remembering because it helps them get elected
4:15 am
Haz1558
Husband likes to claim that he's met President Clinton as well but since it comprises watching him walk off Air Force One at Belfast Airport, I don't think it counts.
4:15 am
Jayk
like Haz was a potential vote
4:16 am
Haz1558
Yes, but think how I could influence babblers.
4:17 am
Haz1558
Don't vote for Obama, he doesn't use a napkin properly.
4:17 am
Haz1558
Or Michelle can't use a knife.
4:18 am
Jayk
good point, haz
4:18 am
Haz1558
They say manners maketh the man...
4:19 am
jmcnrick
i a shocked at the idea of foreign influence in our electoral process! ;-)
4:19 am
jmcnrick
not a potential vote but habits of the politician . . .
4:20 am
jmcnrick
stats for third row o please
4:20 am
Haz1558
Yes, forget the policies, how does he/she cope at the table.
4:20 am

4:21 am
grannyrose

4:29 am
Haz1558
I saw your town on the news, Flask, the flooding looked awful. I hope that doesn't happen again.
4:30 am
grannyrose
lol, his very first song which i remember was 'sadie, the cleaning lady'. when i think of it now, all i can say is OMG
4:31 am
grannyrose
jmc, they refer to his country of birth, or his parentage. i am australian australian.
4:31 am
Flask1
so do we Haz!....it was the shopkeepers I felt it for the most.....very small and struggling businesses, really didn't need it!
4:32 am
Haz1558
I know, things are tough enough.
4:32 am
jmcnrick
oh i see granny. . .different custom than the U.S.
4:32 am
jmcnrick
do people really say australian australian?
4:33 am
grannyrose

Settling back to hear about floods.
4:38 am
grannyrose
mind you, if you were to ask, i could probably fill the chog with my heritage, from europe. lol. but i appreciate friends, and don't like to put them off.
4:38 am
grannyrose
hey lyn, we fixed the swamp in our backyard...finally
4:39 am
jmcnrick
hard to put off this crowd granny . . . i will ask you about it another day
4:40 am
jmcnrick
lynnx you have us waiting! :-D
4:40 am
Haz1558
This crowd? This fine group of women and men labelled 'this crowd'?
4:40 am
grannyrose
dug out a skip's worth of soil, put down a trailer load of lime, blue metal, and topped it with a golden-coloured lilydale topping. also put in new drains.
4:40 am
lynxxx
we are at the sink hole end of a v large drainage system that cannot cope with the storm events becoming more common. We flood! and authorities are willing.......to talk about it! Has been going on for 80 or so years
4:41 am
Haz1558
80 years! No local politicians available to get things moving?
4:41 am
grannyrose
mind you the authorities in lyn's area are now octogenarians. lol
4:41 am
lynxxx
sounds good Rose...we have lilydale topping in our back yard...only thing is after a few year you get moss on it each winter
4:42 am
jmcnrick
dear me all i can find for lilydale is a spiritualist community in australia!
4:42 am
lynxxx
Needs to be state politicians unfortunately = local council is only responsible for their own drains.
4:43 am
grannyrose
ahhhh, will ask our landscape gardener if he knows a solution. he has already advised us to throw chlorine tabs down the pit drains in summer, to kill off the mozzies
4:43 am
jmcnrick
there is a neighborhood in dc which has been flooding for about as long and now that it is "transitional" the flooding has started making the news
4:43 am
lynxxx
Anyway doesn't matter as in 80 years 1/3 of this suburb will be under water because of sea rises
4:44 am
Haz1558
Is there any angle involving wildlife? If there's a threat to a species or something would people want to get involved?
4:44 am
grannyrose
jmc, try lilydale stone
4:45 am
lynxxx
Lilydale topping - is fine white clay mixed with white and grey stones. Compacts down. Looks quite lovely
4:45 am
grannyrose
okay, dinner ready, enjoy the game, see you all at the flip.
4:46 am
lynxxx
well we are quite wild about it - does that count? Nice thought Haz but no
4:46 am

a lot of lurkers, methinks!
6:06 am

we are on a hillside (rocky, thin soil), but the only flooding we have is on our bottom floor, when the drains fill up
6:06 am

otherwise, we're very lucky

6:07 am
rubyfoo
hello TO!! how are you?
6:07 am
Flask1
yes, drains seem to play a big part where flooding is concerned!
6:08 am
rubyfoo
unfortunately, these are our "personal" drains, so no helping except if we have somebody re-pave our parking and that is a huge (and expensive) job.
6:09 am
rubyfoo
I have one neighbor who, when it rains, opens her front door and her back one, and the water just runs through!
6:09 am

fine and how are you all? we had no power last nightbut it is back now.

i am getting fb timeline (ugh) and it has stuff on it friends like making it look as if I like it. how do i remove?
7:56 am
Mom
I had that a while ago, I think it has to do with your security settings. Let me go see. brb
7:58 am
Mom
I don't know if this will work or not:
7:58 am
Mom
https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab

7:59 am
Mom
that is not what I wanted to do. if you go to the privacy settings I have in the order that they appear on the screen:
friends
friends
off
friends
of
f
friends
7:59 am
Mom
and that seems to have taken care of the issue with me
8:00 am

skip that extra f
8:01 am
Mom
under the timeline and tagging I have this:

Zack "found" a coelophysis!
9:33 am
Trifioso
did he lose his mind?
9:34 am
car.eeyore
It was the kids dig area...the bones are under the sand, so they were uncovering the bones...but Zack named the dinosaur correctly...which was very funny because apparently it threw the "palentologist" because that comes later in his script!

bichon, I am just not sure. The work I do is a marathon, always a marathon, never, ever a sprint. and just this summer, shirlockc, which makes it even more special. she has connected with me in just the short time we have had, and I feel incredibly lucky, and chosen. she is a wonderful, special soul, and the fact that something in me spoke to something in her makes all my other incredibly shitty days worthwhile

Shirlockc

9:47 am
Shirlockc
in other news, i adopted a new kitty and she has decided that the bathroom sink is the best litter box in the world
9:47 am
Shirlockc
and the new kitty and old kitty is having their dominance issues ...
9:47 am
car.eeyore
Oh No! But SQUEEEE new kitty!
9:47 am
car.eeyore
Put a litter box on top of the sink.
9:48 am
Shirlockc
i must admit new kitty is very cute
9:48 am
Trifioso
I think that sounds great! you can just wash the product away
9:48 am
car.eeyore
Trif...remember George using the toilet?!?!?
9:48 am
Shirlockc
i did litter in the sink then transfer to the box and she's 50/50 so far -- i have to fill the sink with water or else it's still the preferred spot
9:49 am
Trifioso
best cat ever! okay, poof
9:49 am
car.eeyore
Keep at it. shirl!
9:49 am
Trifioso
i would much prefer primos cats peed in the sink, rater than all over the house,no matter WHAT we do! and on that stinky note, I poof
9:49 am
Shirlockc
i was thinking that i may be able to train this one to use the toilet
9:50 am
Shirlockc
she seems to be limber enough
9:50 am
car.eeyore
That is what is so funny about my cat George...I never trained him. He just started using the toilet one day. He was about 10 years old then.
9:50 am
Shirlockc
that's awesome car
9:51 am
Shirlockc
maybe i need to set more of an example :)
9:52 am
car.eeyore
The first time I "caught" him, I thought my husband had left the sink on. I went in and the sink was off, but there were bubbles in the toilet. The next time, I saw him and just about died! I was so excited! Such a good boy! However, now that we have moved, those days are over.
9:52 am
car.eeyore
Honestly, Shirlockc, I think that is all it was. The cats always came in the bathroom when I was in there. Lead by example I guess!
9:53 am
Shirlockc
i'm not home during the days so the opportunities are not as many
9:53 am
Shirlockc
but i'll keep it in mind
9:53 am

thought that meant first choice, when you have it
10:49 am
MollyL
It means "rights to"
10:50 am
MollyL
Many times people claim "first di4"
10:51 am
Shirlockc
how about the di5 right after that?
10:51 am
doseffing
... covering for a baby's bottom ... I believe
10:51 am
MollyL
That di5 is how some refer to baby underwear
10:52 am
o-o
di -- completed and for example. abbr
10:52 am
Shirlockc
hmmm, never heard of that word but thx for clue
10:53 am
o-o
my clue was wrong

11:03 am
stidmama
good morning all
11:03 am

11:03 am
stidmama
in my saturday webinar, only partially here
11:03 am
cybernan
hi stid :)
11:07 am
stidmama
finally found that last tile... *shakes head sadly* I am getting slow in my old age (old being relative. Grant takes every opportunity to remind me how decrepit I am!).
11:08 am
o-o
Grant needs a stern wifey look
11:08 am
cybernan
I still think that so 6 is 3 words
11:09 am
doseffing
... a mere child compared to some of us
11:09 am
cybernan
Grant is you son?
11:09 am
stidmama
LOL Grant is my son... and he gets LOTS of stern mama looks!
11:09 am
o-o
so 6 is a synonym of "amen"
11:10 am
cybernan
give him a few more years, stid -- all of a sudden you will be brilliant again!
11:10 am
cybernan
agreed bab rab, but 3 words, not one
11:10 am
stidmama
thanks for the encouragement, Nan!
11:11 am
stidmama
oooh got the so6!
11:11 am
cybernan
then you get to the point where you really are slowing down and the kids donèt recognize it
11:11 am
stidmama
okay, starting up for real. back later.

so, did dr god take care of minnie last night
12:02 pm
rururocks
I don't know
12:03 pm
rururocks
I wish he'd be more attentive to getting rid of them
12:03 pm
MollyL
I wish he would be more attentive to that too. Or have someone do it for him.
12:03 pm
rururocks
I mean if he made the world in a week why can't he get rid of trolls
12:04 pm
stidmama
dr G is on vacation right now -- and to be fair, that troll appeared at midnight his time. He doesn't earn enough from this site to hire 24-hour surveillance.
12:04 pm
stidmama
rofl ruru!
12:04 pm
rururocks
he should have 5 or 10 moderators like on other sites that if a troll comes in.. they'll eliminated
12:05 pm
stidmama
that might work -- people who have been here for a long time perhaps could have a flush button...
12:05 pm
sammysmom
i agree and nominate you as a moderator.... i do not have the compouter savvy to take on the task
12:05 pm
MollyL
I agree Ru. It's as easy as asking a friend with the know how to watch your board while you are away. It's done all the time and it doesn't cost anything.
12:05 pm
rururocks
Boy would I love that
12:05 pm
stidmama
"isodirt" dirt, with the chemical structures reversed...
12:07 pm
rururocks
maybe some long-time players like peri, une, dee, me, and others as moderators.
12:07 pm
rururocks
It would take great restraint on my part to not flush kje.:D
12:07 pm
stidmama
oh, the sun is up and the house is getting warmer. back later when I need an excuse to sit for a while. *poof*
12:08 pm

seain, the pics you posted from your walk -- looked so familiar. This is the season I miss the tidewater region the most.
1:07 pm
stidmama
except for the humidity. I don't miss that AT ALL.
1:09 pm
dcseain
I've never seen a natural area in Tidewater, though i imagine the James valley will be similar to the Bull Run/Occoquan valley and the Potomac valley. :)
1:09 pm
dcseain
interesting. Mac software update just failed for the first time.
1:09 pm
stidmama
It has been over 30 years since I was there, there were some natural areas when I was a kid, but they were well hidden and mostly accessed by boat.
1:10 pm
dcseain
Ah, yeah, that sounds like what i know of Hampton Roads LOL
1:10 pm
stidmama
We would go up both the York and James rivers, and I agree the James was wilder
1:11 pm
stidmama
My dad loved boats and fishing and such. Tom, not at all as far as I know -- so my kids have only a little experience on the waters here. With my dad, of course.
1:11 pm
dcseain
oh, i forgot that the York's right there too. Nice.
1:12 pm
stidmama
We got our dog from a place my folks looked at on the York river, they took the dog, left the house. LOL probably just as well. It was waterfront and would have gotten my brother in LOTS of trouble, I am sure!
1:13 pm
stidmama
"froid" is not in the dictionary. But haute is, every time. *sigh*
1:14 pm
dcseain
well, we have haute couture, but neither chaud nore froid except in sangfroid i don't think.
1:15 pm
stidmama
That's probably true, I just get so confused when some latin words (outside the phrases they are in) count and a lot of common french words or german words don't. Oh well, it's my confusion, I am sure.
1:17 pm
stidmama
and stuck at 49 for the last several minutes. Off to work on mucking out the office. I have finally dug down to my workbench and clearing it off completely to clean and then replace everything. THEN I can start working through the pile of supplies and materials that are outside! [note to others: never let someone else put your materials away, it inevitably leads to disaster!]
1:17 pm
dcseain
i think really it's ENABLE's confusion. Purulent Scots, after all. LOL
1:17 pm

dcseain
huh. archaic English. i'd never have guessed
1:43 pm
carleekat

2:28 pm
redturtlehead
I am glad they are showing it, for whomever is intersted. but..yeah not for me.
2:28 pm
stidmama

2:46 pm
Uneaixoise
not my area of expertise :-)
2:48 pm
crosshair
but it is done.we give our time at the loacal shelter and it is sad to come in the morning and see a pregnat dog or a few pregnant cats tied to the front door
2:50 pm
crosshair
they do that because there is a drop off fee as we are a no kill shelter
2:54 pm
Uneaixoise
kudos to you for neutering and for being a no kill shelter!!
2:54 pm
Uneaixoise
<<<< am picking up Ralph later today to help him on his way to his forever dad! :-)
2:56 pm
crosshair
it take work.we have a donated facility that can hold roughly 150 cats and 50 dogs.when the shelter gets to 90% capacity we have a foster parent list that comes into play.and the ones who have been waiting the longest get a foster home first
2:56 pm
crosshair
yaaa for ralph!
2:56 pm
Uneaixoise
labs are sooo adorable!! can't wait to love on him from Hurricane Mills to Nashville :-)
2:57 pm
crosshair
it is a new building from donations.the town gave us the land,free hydro and free dump pass and no taxes free water etc
2:57 pm
Uneaixoise
a lot of work indeed, crossy -- and you're lucky to have fosters available to you
2:57 pm
crosshair
i am glad he has a forever home:)
2:57 pm
Uneaixoise
wowser!!!
2:58 pm
crosshair
well the land they already had,and the rest is just fee waivers,except the hydro
2:58 pm
Uneaixoise
still quite a coup
2:59 pm
crosshair
it is 600,000 in donations,builders offering time etc
2:59 pm
Uneaixoise
that's fantastic
3:00 pm
crosshair
two amazing local vets ho allow us to give with each pet all shots,any treatment needed,free microchip and a cert for free spay or neuter
3:01 pm
crosshair
for all that you get a kitten for 225 a cat for 150 and a dog for 175
3:01 pm
Uneaixoise
vets like that are absolute saints -- we have some who provide discounted services but not sure if anything is actually free
3:02 pm
Uneaixoise
ALTHO MY vet donates his services for dogs being trained as service dogs
3:02 pm
crosshair
i think materila cost must still be paid to vet
3:02 pm
crosshair
material
3:02 pm
Uneaixoise
makes sense
3:03 pm
crosshair
good for the vet.service animals are a special breed
3:03 pm
Uneaixoise
i used to work with a lady who trained a new pup as a service animal every year -- amazing woman
3:04 pm
Uneaixoise
soooo hard to leave her pups alone -- they were usually black labs and cute cute cute
3:04 pm
Uneaixoise
she has to train US to back off LOL
3:05 pm
crosshair
humans need more training than the animals sometimes
3:06 pm
Uneaixoise
we were allowed to play with them on day one and that was IT
3:06 pm
crosshair
well,she must allow them to play when class is out or they are not on duty?
3:07 pm
Uneaixoise
at home at nite but not during the day at the office
3:08 pm
Uneaixoise
she was so dedicated . . . flew to meet some of the folks who got "her" trained dogs :-)

HI Soodle. Trust me when I tell you that there is more serious drunken Babble playing that goes on around here than JMC and I sharing a shot. : P

My hubby's friend is seriously ill with very little hope of recovery, it finally hit us tonight with his wife having to make the most awful decision. I'm praying for all of them. on the positive side the olympics have been fantastic and we are nearing the end of the kitchen building project

I always get a bit sad after the Olympics...but today I am not so thrilled with what they are showing us on the tv...

Oh Molly. You know I was only kidding, right?
4:41 pm
KatieMcG
Kate has been fantastic turning up at what would be considered to be 'minor' events over here. The picture of her and Will hugging in celebration at the cycling last week must have gladdened many a heart
4:42 pm

Short stories, novels & plays. Very readable. I can highly recommend her work.
5:15 pm

It's an empty feeling when we know we will get no more stories from a favorite writer.
5:17 pm
Soodle
Molly, I believe you would really enjoy Meave Binchy's writing. Quintessential Irish, without being 'Oirish'!

When I organized the phage meeting I kept lists (dated!) of what, who, when and where. Cross-referenced. Spreadsheet version so easy to share with others. Files or piles of essential materials in a designated location. And I learned to delegate. It turned out well enough. I decided then and there that I was not cut out to be an event planner!

I actually enjoyed the rhythmic gymnastics, though it looks more like opera...
6:20 pm
stidmama
It was a good game.
6:20 pm
blueheron
that's probably better then watching the crap that's going on with our government.
6:21 pm
stidmama
I only was able to see a little bit of the rhythmic gymnastics. It takes such great control to get the timing right, and the extreme agility was so amazing.

the instructions for resizing depend in great part on the hardware and software a person has, it's easy enough to resize using picasa... IF one knows where to look.

So do4/5 anybody want to read a story ri 4/7 with a wi 4/9 variety of clues? Well here it is.When I was young, a gigantic ri4/7 developed between my parents and my sister. My sister attended fe 5/16 at a night club every night and came home drunk.She ended up getting a job at the bo 5/14 she partied at. She was paid to disro 4/6 for the patrons. My sister started dating her bo4/6 who was a real di4/5bag.She got pregnant.Then she got an ab5/14ion. Her irresponsible behavior didn't bo 4/7 well with parents. They got ti 4/4d of her antics.They ended up kicking her out of our ab 5/16 because she wouldn't ab 4/16 by the rules. My sister's lifestyle didn't be 5/20 the lifestyle my parents had wanted for her. Finally, my sister grew up & she realized that my parents were an as5/10 to her life. Both my parents & my sister put their differences as5/12 and rebuilt their relationship. Hubby wants computer. I fr 4/7 what he will do if I do not give him computer. I will give it to him so he doesn't cause a ri 4/4. Hubby te9/72 me with his temper when he do4/5 not get his way.I have to confe4/7 that this story is not true.I didn't ed 4/5 story so there may be some errors. I hope you have found some more words in this gr 4/7. I will iw4/8 be back here later tonite to get my fi4/7works

listing certainly made it easier, red

oooh blueberry buckle. why do they call it buckle?
7:22 pm

NBC is showing a tribute to WWII at the moment wht.
7:22 pm
wht
I guess I have time to finish then. 15 left.
7:23 pm
wht
Red, is it called buckle because cobbler was taken?
7:23 pm
redturtlehead
I'm going to the list.
7:23 pm
stidmama
because the top buckles (creases) when it cooks?
7:23 pm
redturtlehead
I don't know!!! I was kind of wondering about cobbler too...
7:24 pm
wht
The cobbler was busy with peaches so the beltmaker handled the blueberries?
7:24 pm
redturtlehead
ooooh.
7:24 pm
stidmama
rofl wht!
7:26 pm
redturtlehead
While I have an interest in WWII especially the Blit because of my GrandDad, I do find it odd that they decided to do this as part of Olympic PRIME time coverage...
7:27 pm
stidmama
okay, the tip of the finger that I burned no longer has sensation at the surface, so I imagine it's going to do that nasty flaking off thing leaving hyper-sensitive fingertip behind. This might be my cue to learn to read braille (for real, a long-term goal) while I have extra ability.
7:27 pm
redturtlehead
looking on the bright side Stid!

I highly recommend always watching where one is placing one's hand when working in the kitchen...

Is WWII over? Is it safe to go near my TV now?
7:45 pm
redturtlehead
WWII is not over, they are now teaching us about Polio and Roosevelt. It is interesting but not Olympic.
7:47 pm
MollyL
Whew, that sounds boring. Oh by the way Wht, apparently certain people have declared themselves exempt from the PB and feel free to blurt out gr4 words in chat. Just to keep you up to date.
7:48 pm
wht
I know that the competition is winding down, but you would think that they could find something more applicable to fill their time with. Maybe the biography of the squirrel that kept darting out into the racewalking course.
7:48 pm
MollyL
That was Secret Squirrel. His biography is confidential.
7:48 pm
wht
I know that Molly, but I didn't think Crossy was one of those, especially since bacon is often found in the PB.
7:49 pm
redturtlehead
I do think it is inappropriate, and I would have preferred to watch this at 2 pm and then see the relays that have already been run.
7:49 pm
wht
Thank you for clearing that up. I won't mention it again.
7:49 pm
MollyL
Red, are you still camping out on the aeorbed?
7:50 pm

Not unless it is something I want to watch, I need to take Aero bed down, it's become like a large coffee table.
7:50 pm

Anyway. Good night all. Happy Babbling. I should get back to the TV just in time for a long commercial break.

7:52 pm
redturtlehead
can I get a clue for that te 5?
7:53 pm
Minveryork
te 5/12 is te + vowel plus a Freudian term redturtlehead
7:54 pm
redturtlehead
Oh gee a common babble word. thank you.
7:56 pm
redturtlehead
fo 6, 27?
7:57 pm

8:21 pm
Minveryork
Phantom wordsfor me were besi4/5, forbid and forgive
8:21 pm
MollyL
Let's see, in order to be fluent in Babble, we need to know French, Scottish, Old English, Middle English, some African words...etc. and then recognize them when they are clued as such. No problem.
: P
8:21 pm
ShadowHyrst
jmcnrick--uncomfortable, even for mad dogs and Englishmen I would gues
8:22 pm
jmcnrick
don't forget greek hawaiian and welsh
8:22 pm
ShadowHyrst
and words that are in dictionaries, but not allowed in the puzzle
8:22 pm
MollyL
That's why I added etc. I couldn't remember the plethora of other languages.
8:23 pm
jmcnrick
ah yes i see that etc works there! haha
8:23 pm
Minveryork
We also need to remember all of those chemical words.
8:23 pm
MollyL
And words that are not in dictionaries but are allowed in the puzzle.
8:23 pm
jmcnrick
and anatomy
8:24 pm
ShadowHyrst
...ines, ...enes, ...ytes,

8:26 pm
MollyL
<---Great at dummy clues. Also often accused of "spelling them out".
8:26 pm
jmcnrick
a new word for me. . . and it means a nightclub?
8:26 pm
redturtlehead
Ok, going to watch Mo Farah, I hope...depending on what NBC wants to show...
8:27 pm
jmcnrick
you'd think as much time as i spent in nightclubs i would have heard of it
8:27 pm
ShadowHyrst
if you were in France, maybe
8:27 pm
ShadowHyrst
but I could never hear anything in nightclubs--or I was always too distracted
8:28 pm
jmcnrick
i do like to build up from stats to definition to spelled out but i take with gratitude what clues are offered
8:28 pm
Minveryork
Well being quite a dummy myself, it is way easy for me to give dummy clues! I also tend to spell out the words.
8:28 pm
jmcnrick
ah well the only time i was in france was paris with my then 15 year old boy
8:28 pm
jmcnrick
worry lbd
8:29 pm

anyone who gets fireworks today deserves a 'long cold one' afterwards...or two fingers of your favorite alcohol
8:34 pm
jmcnrick
i already had my two fingers so i guess i better work harder. . . 47 left
8:35 pm
ShadowHyrst
but you deserve to start with the 'help;; I had to take a break at about 50 left...but not as much as I did when the grid had 400 words...
8:35 pm
MollyL
Two fingers is so much better than the two fingers x 10...but those people have already passed out.
: P
8:35 pm
jmcnrick
haha i didn't finish the recent 400 word one
8:36 pm
jmcnrick
haha that is too much even for me!
8:37 pm
Minveryork
I usually don't finish puzzles that are over two hundred words.I gave up on caring about my status in the ranks
8:37 pm
ShadowHyrst
the smaller grids are more 'reasonable', but still taxing

Minveryork--being a Type A personality...I find it difficult NOT to finish and am irritated when I don't--and I 'have' to compete with myself it seems
8:39 pm
jmcnrick
but small ones often have really hard words
8:41 pm
ShadowHyrst
short or long, some of the works are difficult--I spent about 5 minutes looking for one of the ri/4 words today, looking in the wrong spot for a while, and that happens when it even seems easy
8:42 pm
MollyL
I don't get people who care about their status in the rankings. I thought people played this game for fun.
8:42 pm
jmcnrick
well sometimes people enjoy being the "best" molls. . . something i understand but have learned to set as***
8:43 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
hi-de-ho my fellow addicts
8:43 pm
ShadowHyrst
it is for fun...but why we play varies; I like the puzzle of words...being partially linguistically trained in school
8:43 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
we can't talk about the gr4 today huh lol
8:44 pm
ShadowHyrst
it takes true gr/5 for that
8:44 pm
kje
Clue fir the 9?
8:44 pm
jmcnrick
we can talk about it but we cannot use the word
8:45 pm
jmcnrick
make afraid kje
8:46 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i play because i love boggle and this is boggle, in fact!
8:46 pm
jmcnrick
true. . . i played boggle with my mother until she went blind
8:47 pm
jmcnrick
then my sister and i would solve a crossword puzzle out loud with her
8:47 pm
jmcnrick
my sister has new respect of my word abilities!
8:47 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i'm not so good at scrabble or crossword, they are too different frm boggle
8:47 pm
jmcnrick
hi kje hows the new digs?
8:48 pm
jmcnrick
i am okay at scabble
8:48 pm
jmcnrick
but i have a cousin-in-law-in-law who is fabulous at scrabble
8:49 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i have a friend who sucks at boggle, can't spell, can hardly hold a pen, but a genius with math and computers, and can cream me at scrabble
8:50 pm
jmcnrick
yes my cousin-in-law (the husband of the in-law-in-law) is terrible with words but is always doing 7 and 8 letter words in scabble. . . it is a spacial thing i think
8:51 pm
kje
Settling in, jmc. On my phone as no Internet yet, so cannot see grid and chog at same time. Forgive any thing I miss, not ignoring on purpose ; )
8:51 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i think so, too, a function of the brain that involves a kind of mathematical skill that i don't have (also essential to doing anagrams)
8:52 pm
jmcnrick
i have tried to babble on my phone and find it completely impossible so am impressed you are able to do it at all
8:52 pm
MollyL
I love words and linguistics. I would like this game more if it were not based on an out-dated dictionary, or word list, or whatever it is.
8:53 pm
jmcnrick
yes i agree molls the enable dictionary is frustrating
8:53 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
hell i can babble on a *phone* -- lolol
8:53 pm
rururocks
great now I can give some smart aleck response to kje and she won't see it
8:53 pm
jmcnrick
she will see it just after the fact so no rapid reparte
8:54 pm
MollyL
I think it's been made clear that nothing about this game is going to be updated. So we all just have to like it or lump it. : )
8:55 pm
jmcnrick
well as long as dr_god gets rid of the trolls in a reasonable amount of time i will like it. . .
8:55 pm
torgone
Dr_G has never shown any interest in updating the word list ..
8:55 pm
jmcnrick
haha just the color scheme
8:55 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i keep track of which words this game will not take (sort of), and which words Bookworm and Wordsplay won't take, too -- all variations on boggle
8:56 pm
jmcnrick
on the other hand i have no clue how much work it would take to update the game
8:56 pm
rururocks
wish there was a troll flush buttom
8:57 pm
jmcnrick
well i like the idea someone had of each of us typing one letter and enter until the troll is bored to death
8:58 pm
rururocks
trolls don't get bored
8:58 pm
MollyL
That won't work. They will just thrive on the attention. The best way to deal with trolls is to ignore them.
8:58 pm

8:59 pm
o-o
I troll with the trolls
8:59 pm
jmcnrick
do not feed the trolls?
8:59 pm
MollyL
I wish everyone would, Gwen. People feed the trolls here all the time and it just makes them worse.
8:59 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
jmc wins a virtual cookie!
9:00 pm
jmcnrick
virtual yum!
9:00 pm
o-o
I do not feed the trolls .... I have fun with them
9:00 pm
jmcnrick
i find that sometimes people assume trolls too quickly. ..
9:01 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
giving a troll any mention at ALL is feeding them
9:01 pm
kje
Bottom middle I?
9:01 pm
o-o
Like I said, I have been reported at a troll
9:01 pm
ShadowHyrst
too bad the last troll killed the updating; maybe when Dr. God gets back from vacation ... it will be fixed
9:01 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
io + i know what you *** last summer
9:01 pm
MollyL
Paying them any attention is feeding them. And JMC, the latest batch have been REAL easy to identify.
9:02 pm
kje
That comes from the top
9:02 pm
kje
That comes from the top

9:02 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
is4 = is + *** *** black sheep
9:02 pm
MollyL
Trolls can't get into the mainframe of the board and kill the updating. If something is wrong with that, it is because the board owner is on vacation and is not updating it.
9:03 pm
jmcnrick
the updating? what is not working?
9:03 pm
jmcnrick
the rankings?
9:03 pm
o-o
I do not get all worked up about trolls
9:04 pm
jmcnrick
some of them are less terrible than others
9:04 pm
ShadowHyrst
yeah, the who's hot; the other two columns seem to be updating, except that one day when the TROLL who did the repeating stuff was here
9:05 pm
jmcnrick
that was when dr_god got frozen out from his server while on vacation
9:05 pm
jmcnrick
i was actually somewhat impressed with that troll
9:05 pm
jesdraggon
hi all
9:05 pm
o-o
Are you working now, kjean?
9:06 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
a troll who messes with the back door programming is not a troll, they're a cracker and possibly a criminal
9:06 pm
jmcnrick
but had had a very bad day and was terrifically disappointed not to be able to chat
9:06 pm
MollyL
Again, trolls can't do what you all are referring to. They would need passwords. If Dr. God was frozen out, it was for other reasons.
9:07 pm
kje
No. I start mOnday. Right now resting. Every muscle in my body aches. Tired of unpacking
9:07 pm
jmcnrick
i have no idea why he got frozen out. . .but it was the same time period

9:11 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
od bad smell
9:11 pm
jmcnrick
duh! ty shadow
9:12 pm
ShadowHyrst
Book Doctor Gwen--how do you 'collect words'?
9:12 pm
MollyL
A troll would have no idea how to access the mainframe of this board. Don't give them that much credit.
9:12 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
it's called a text document 8-)

Hi minver. Thinking about your lobster dinner. Lucky you!!
9:13 pm
ShadowHyrst
Book Doctor Gwen--I thought, like with antiques, you would collect them and put them somewhere...
9:13 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i have a list of weird words and when i find a new one i add it. after a lot of adds i re-alphabetize the list using the automatic sorting function
9:14 pm
Minveryork
Yes,they were on sale at Shoprite so could not pass it up.Fortunately,my husband knows how to cook lobster
9:14 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
and i have clusters of words that build off each other, e.g.: don, donna, donne, donned, donnee, donnerd, donnert
9:14 pm
ShadowHyrst
ah; with this game, you must be busy collecting words at times...
9:16 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
and i have a section to help me use word scores for clues, e.g.: 7,64 = one 6 and a 4 [refixed]; or a 5, a 3, and two 2s [bushwah]; or a 5, a 4 and a 3 [finking]
9:16 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
anyone wants me to email them my "cheat sheet" just holler
9:16 pm
jmcnrick
sounds complicated
9:17 pm
ShadowHyrst
impressive; usable for scrabble as well, and easier to search than a scrabble book
9:17 pm
kje
Lower corner e besides correct a paper?
9:17 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i can't do mathi in my head, so i started collecting examples. i mean sure, 4/4 means all the letters are 1-point letters, but how about 9/66?
9:17 pm
ShadowHyrst
holler....

9:20 pm
