Good evening, lynxxx, good morning, BabbleRabble.
3:19 am
Haz1558
It seems to be the quiet time again.
3:19 am
lynxxx
perfect time
3:19 am

Hello, Haz and Lyn
3:20 am
Haz1558
Yes, peaceful and leisurely.
3:21 am
o-o
The grid is too small again.
3:22 am
Dianne
Hi all = I agree with BR - it's nice to have a big grid on a
3:22 am
o-o
Hello, Dianne
3:23 am
Haz1558
You really don't like small grids, do you, BR? I kind of accept what comes although I do prefer the bigger ones as well.
3:23 am
lynxxx
You have heard about the murdered girl Jill Meagher Haz. Such overwhelming sadness and concern here for her - even before they found her. Her death has rocked our whole community to the core
3:24 am
Haz1558
Yes, lynxxx, the tragedy has been covered here. A horrible thing to have happened.
3:25 am
Dianne
It's in today's newspaper here. Some days I hate to even read the paper. We are still reeling here over the ferry accident that claimed 39 people's lives.
3:28 am
lynxxx
yes, the ferry collision made the news very quickly here. 39 is too many but seems like it could have been a lot worse
3:28 am
o-o
"Maybe this loss creates a movement that demands respect for women and says violence against women, violence against anyone, is unacceptable," she said. ... I hope so but am not optimistic
3:30 am
lynxxx
sadly that is probably true BR
3:31 am
Dianne
This is a maritime city - this just should not have happened at all on a fairly clear night without much water traffic around the crash site. Both captainns were arrested and are out on bail pending the investigation.
3:33 am
o-o
I said this before but I find it so incredulous: Women in the US military deployed overseas have a greater chance of being assaulted by a fellow military than getting killed. What is worse is being deployed again with the assailant.
3:35 am
Haz1558
You mean they're deployed together even after the assault has been investigated etc?
3:36 am
Haz1558
So, there's an acceptable level of violence against women in the army.
3:36 am
Haz1558
There's not a lot of point in a female reporting anything, is there?
3:37 am
lynxxx
We have had a rash (yes I know!) of instances like that recently too (although not whilst deployed) - although a lot of instances of men/boys being assaulted too. Being talked about in the highest places but then seems to go quiet again - until the next episode
3:37 am
o-o
I cannot understand how our representatives can let this go on ..... but then our representatives prize power over the interests of constituents
3:39 am
lynxxx
maybe Bastardization still has a place in the armed forces?
3:41 am
o-o
In the US the military simply are commodities ... use them, abuse them and lose them ... just budget items
3:41 am
lynxxx
Can the political reps truly have any influence on the Military - at those levels?
3:41 am
Haz1558
Or is it a case of the military having their own rules/courts etc?
3:41 am
o-o
They can start taking stars from generals
3:43 am
Haz1558
And leave nasty wee holes in their uniforms?
3:44 am
o-o
A talking point is that the military is all volunteers ... since when is the well-being of a volunteer less than that of a draftee?
3:45 am
lynxxx
Its hard I guess...the military needs to be a 'tight' self contained community but being so insular it leaves makes it easier for abusive types to get away with 'murder' so to speak
3:45 am
Haz1558
You're volunteering to serve your country, with the expectation that while your country can't fully protect you from violence from your enemies, it can at least protect you from violence from fellow soldiers.
3:46 am
lynxxx
Yes - agree Haz.
3:47 am
o-o
The investigations are a farce .... liars protecting criminals
3:48 am
lynxxx
Internal investigations BR? I think that is what is happening here too
3:50 am
o-o
military investigating military

Haz1558
Good morning, kje.

look at volleymumdee's profile, she has a list (just ask google)
6:04 am

ugh, i was coming here hoping to STOP thinking about politics and the first thing i see is ROMNEY in the grid!
6:08 am
Shallow One
and his first name also ...
6:08 am
rubyfoo
hurshy: do you think it's a subliminal message planted there by his people?
6:08 am
hurshy
lol, so it is
6:08 am
hurshy
it's not subliminal if you notice it
6:09 am
Shallow One
id' get conspicious, when its on three grids in a row ;)
6:09 am
rubyfoo
I wqouldn't have seen it....
6:09 am
Buggie
americans ignore our politics, so I tend to ignore theirs, makes life easier :)
6:10 am
hurshy
i think we americans would prefer to ignore our own...
6:10 am
rubyfoo
it is so weird being an American here
6:11 am
Buggie
from what I've seen of the debates, I get the impression most of you already do anyway, at least one half of it... ;o)
6:11 am
rubyfoo
<-- hasn't seen the debate. Husband won't watch
6:12 am
hurshy
it's political theater anyway, i'm sure you aren't missing anything.
6:12 am
Buggie
oh I mean in general, haven't seen the latest one, not interested
6:12 am
rubyfoo
we don't talk about politics -- our votes would cancel each other's out
6:13 am
Buggie
also, not having a TV helps, I find the TV has more disinformation than information...
6:13 am
Buggie
ruby, is your husband french?
6:14 am
rubyfoo
no, he's from St. Louis but we don't agree on politics
6:14 am
Buggie
ahhh, french couples with opposing political views are extremely rare
6:15 am
Buggie
the french aren't that political, however there's a clear divide between left and right
6:16 am
rubyfoo
but I think they realize that they made a mistake in voting in Hollande and will probably bring Sarkozy back in the next election
6:16 am
Buggie
actually, no, sarkozy doesn't stand a chance in hell
6:16 am
rubyfoo
we are nothing like a French couple!!!!
6:16 am
Buggie
the french hate him
6:17 am
rubyfoo
you think? they are certainly dissatisfied with Hollande
6:17 am
Buggie
hollande is still on probation, as most of what is going on is the result of sarkozy's decisions
6:17 am
Buggie
no, his polls have dropped a little, but nothing unusual 6 months after the election
6:17 am
hurshy
*sits back to enjoy a non-american political discussion*
6:18 am
rubyfoo
I don't follow it closely
6:18 am
rubyfoo
hahah, hurshy

whoops, sorry

Shallow One

6:19 am
Buggie
there's no major dissatisfaction, only the right wing opposition trying to kick up a fuss because they're not in power, but they don't represent the general opinion :)
6:19 am
rubyfoo
yay, shallow!
6:19 am
Buggie
well done shallow

Sue, my daughter-in-law has Crohns, I know that whole hospital drill. Sorry you're going through this.
6:49 am
uusue2
thanks, molly, we are still waiting for a definitive diagnosis, sounds like it will be a few days more
6:50 am
uusue2
the hospital is actually kind of nice, all the rooms are single rooms and have chairs that make into a single bed if family want to stay (which I do)
6:51 am
MollyL
That's good. At least they make you as comfortable as possible. My son always stays over when his wife is in too.
6:52 am
uusue2
everybody really has been very nice. And I guess the gastroenterologist will see us after all (it's the same one that wouldn't take him as a self-pay patient when I called a couple of weeks ago)
6:53 am
MollyL
There is some irony in that.
6:53 am
Buggie
hospitals can be quite pleasant if you allow them to be - a complete break from everyday worries (as you can't do anything about them from where you are), and the nurses and cleaning personnel can be quite happy to chat with a nice patient, most people they deal with don't give them any personal consideration
6:54 am
KatieMcG
morning everyone
6:55 am
Buggie
hello Katie
6:55 am

I don't think Frank would describe it as pleasant although if he gets the nose tube taken out he will be much happier
6:55 am
uusue2
anyway I am going to go take a shower, will be back later ((((babble)))))
7:12 am

I hear you Sue. I can't stretch far enough to get "hospital" and "pleasant" in the same thought process.

we were lucky. We did not start the car. Called the... what is it called where you live? The helpful guys that come when your car breaks down... you pay a membership fee. Took about an hour, but then he had emptied out our tank. So we could tank again... DIESEL this time... all in all 100 euro down the drain though.
9:06 am
sprite
yes, the car will survive! Thank God.
9:06 am
uusue2
Ah so you were able to drain it out or something? Also, interestingly, diesel is much more expensive than gasoline here, go figure.
9:07 am

oh lol! It is the other way around here. LPG (gas) is cheapest, then diesel, then gasoline.

9:33 am
Shallow One
i often go blinmd on the plurals too
9:33 am
Shallow One
not to mention my fat fingers on the keyboard
9:34 am
sprite
yes :) It comes from 'hit me with a fish for being so stupid'. Also, fish is special to us old time Babblers. We used to find a fish in every grid and ask eachother: did you find the fish yet?
9:34 am
Haz1558
Yes, it relates to being slapped with a fish for missing obvious words. Originally there were particular fish for missing plurals, others for not seeing past tenses etc.
9:34 am

9:54 am
Shallow One
i'd say BAD pun, not any old joke

9:55 am
sprite
have to share: I was gifted a gold bracelet. From a very dear friend to my mother's, who has been very important to me in my youth. She died and left me this and some other jewelry in her codicil. Am so happy with it. Am wearing it now and thinking of her.
9:55 am
crosshair

9:55 am
Shallow One
how nice
9:55 am
sprite
ah ok, Shallow, then it is not exactly the same as our jokes with a beard.
9:56 am
sprite
it truly warms my heart. Am so honored she thought of me.
9:56 am
crosshair
then that would be a type of joke that we call a "graoner" one that is so bad it is almost funny
9:57 am
sprite
hahaha yes.
9:57 am
Shallow One
i bet you expert in those, too, right crossy?
9:58 am

9:59 am
crosshair
br as well,but his are more "dry" humor
10:00 am

that is true. both have a very personal sense of humour and both make me laugh every time.
10:00 am

my humor tends towards the "earthy/offensive" genre
10:00 am

Cross, it's dear, it's true. I am lucky that I drink wildly good coffee that is roasted at work, and otherwise drink mint tea, so I treat myself to good black tea. I really don't do it often.
hi, aloy!

yeah, bad. Muslims are definitely no heathens.
11:06 am
sprite
hi Pickles, to you too
11:09 am
MollyL
Technically, a heathen is anyone who does not acknowledge the God of Judaism. So Muslims, Catholics, Protestants...all fall under that definition.
11:09 am
bichon
I don't know what the Crusaders thought the Muslims were, but we know better now
11:10 am
rururocks
wow.. at least I know what crowd I'm in
11:10 am
sprite
yeah. Well, each religion that is based on love has my full support.
11:10 am
sprite
that's funny, in a way, Molly. So in that definition, Christians are heathens?
11:11 am
bichon
That's a weird definition Molly. Probably going way, way back
11:13 am
MollyL
Heathen is a weird word, that goes way, way back.
11:14 am
bichon
I am going to have to look up the word origin
11:14 am
uusue2
Could someone give me the stats for the 8?
11:15 am
sprite
I just did, and found different etymology
11:15 am
bichon
It's actually Old English and means not Christian or Jewish
11:17 am
sprite
it says here it started as a referral to people who lived on the 'wild heaths'. Developed to mean 'wild people from the heaths'. Then into people with a different belief from 'us'. Etc.
11:18 am
rururocks
that's where all those Heathers came from then
11:18 am
sprite
that is another heather on your cap, ruru
11:19 am
MollyL
Interpret the word as you will. One derivation comes from a gothic word that means gentile.
11:19 am
rururocks
heathen help us
11:19 am
MollyL
Mental note: Never, ever step in here with a definition again.

11:22 am

yes it does. What I read here, is it goes back on the proto-german word for field, acre. Almost all languages in our area have a similar word.

of course. Just be sensitive. Works like a charm.

since I'm new here, would someone be so kind as to tell me why, if I've used the Y 4 times, the tile stats still say Y 0/3?
11:52 am
rururocks
Molly has Dee's list nan
11:53 am
rururocks
Kaman..it's because you haven't found the three words associated with the y
11:53 am
rururocks
they are all ye words ye 4, ye 4, and ye 5
11:53 am
Kamanjah
meaning they start with y?
11:54 am
rururocks
one is an expression of disgust
11:55 am
Kamanjah
and someone has figured out there are no yo words? I'm not really understanding how you guys figure the second letter so consistently!
11:55 am
rururocks
there are no yo words
11:56 am
cybernan
ar 6/24, please?
11:56 am
rururocks
we're just really brilliant people..lol
11:56 am

You figure out the second letter either by getting all the words or looking at the list.
11:56 am
rururocks
just kidding
11:57 am
Kamanjah
great help, thanks! Now I can use the tiles stats to help me figure things out...have been watching your clues and have figured out quite a bit just from watching

Since Mitt and Romney are in the grid today, did anyone hear about the high school student who was ridiculed by her teacher for wearing a Romney/Ryan shirt. The teacher compared the student to someone in the KKK. Good Lord.

12:10 pm
MLFAN17
ruru i was saying when i found out mitt was the other candidate..could we have a third choice lol
12:10 pm
MLFAN17
But between the two sorry to say but i still think obama is the better choice
12:10 pm
rururocks
I'd even consider that whacko Nader over what has been served up..lol
12:11 pm
MLFAN17
ruru when obama ran the first time iw as hoping for guliani. the previous mayor of ny
12:11 pm
cybernan
no vote is worse -- if you can't vote for, vote against
12:12 pm
MollyL
No vote is NOT worse. No vote says you refuse to keep settling for the lame candidates served up.
12:12 pm
cybernan
* I have become an expert at voting for the lesser of 2 evils over the last decade or so
12:13 pm
rururocks
I agree with that. It says none of the above
12:13 pm
cybernan
and you let others make the choice for you?
12:13 pm
MollyL
I will not vote to re-elect a President who has done nothing for four years. That is not an option.
12:14 pm
MLFAN17
i am not voting but i would have voted for obama the first time and he still got in without my vote
12:14 pm
MollyL
I am only responsible for my vote and what it says. I will not vote for someone I don't think is qualified for office.
12:14 pm
rururocks
uh Nan.. this is the country that elected George Bush TWICE.. what does that tell you?
12:14 pm
cybernan
but molly - you can't say that he hasn't tried -- for the last 2 years he has been blocked at every turn
12:14 pm
MLFAN17
Molly it is an option you are choosing not to vote for him
12:14 pm
MLFAN17
ruru George w?
12:15 pm

12:15 pm

Nan, sorry. That is a lame excuse for not enforcing his powers of The Presidency.

No, that is not how our government works. I'm bowing out of this now.

12:18 pm

I don't know all that much about how your government works (or doesn't as the case may be) but I do know that Mitt scares me

Not if i dont vot
12:20 pm
cybernan
are you looking at numbers or percentages? -- there is a big difference!
12:20 pm
rururocks
I don't think you can put all that on him ouw... a lot of it was roll-over from Bush
12:21 pm
MLFAN17
ruru i was about to say the economy was in trouble BEFORE Obama came in
12:21 pm
MollyL
*Sigh* "I read it on the internet" has become the new "I seen it on the TeeVee".
12:21 pm
MLFAN17
If its percentages then Obama is ahead so i last saw on a chart of the US via facebook
12:21 pm
Ouwachita
He is the only one that blames Bush for everything...he has had 3.5 years to do something worthwhile and all he does is take vacations with his wife and 200 friends at a time
12:21 pm
cybernan
weren't some of his debt reducing initiatives blocked by the republicans in congress?
12:22 pm
MLFAN17
i think so yes nan
12:22 pm
cybernan
Which tabloid are you reading ouwa?
12:22 pm
rururocks
He has doubled the stock market.. that's a positive
12:23 pm
MLFAN17
Ouw they all take vacations
12:23 pm
Ouwachita
most of the ones that were blocked were TAX INCREASES...that doesnt work
12:23 pm
cybernan
and he didn't spend billions of dollars to kill daddy's worst enemy
12:24 pm
MLFAN17
Ouwa Mitt doesnt want the rich taxed because HE IS rich
12:24 pm
Ouwachita
Have you ever gotten a job from a poor man??? if so, vote for Obama
12:24 pm
MLFAN17
Ouw most rich companies are gone now were before they came into office
12:25 pm
Ouwachita
MLF...he earned every penny of it
12:25 pm
cybernan
at the expense of how many others over whom he rode roughshod, ouwa?
12:27 pm
MLFAN17
So he want sto support the rich and screw the rest of the country? what kind of president would he be?
12:27 pm
MollyL
For a President who campaigned on change (Yes we can!) Obama has a piss poor track record. And if you believe that The President is powerless over Congress and The House, then we might as well not have a President.
12:28 pm
MLFAN17
yes bills can be vetoed
12:28 pm
cybernan
The president does not have is much power in your political system as our prime minister does
12:28 pm
Ouwachita
Obama was right about Change...it is aqll we will have left in our pockets if he gets re-elected.
12:29 pm
MLFAN17
did you mean equal?
12:29 pm
cybernan
better than nothing but debt if Romney is elected, I would think
12:29 pm
MLFAN17
cyber do you think we would be in more debt is that what you are saying?
12:29 pm

Oh yeah, that's why I quit playing this game. Too much pontificating about politics (and religion). Bummer. I really used to enjoy chatting when this game first started. Guess it's back to hiding the chat.
12:30 pm

if romney is elected i agree with you cyber
12:31 pm
cybernan
scary for us too -- if the US economy goes the way of most of Europe, we will be dragged right along
12:31 pm
Buggie
Mind you, I find it funny that people blame Obama for not managing to change things, when every single thing he's tried to do has been opposed by the republicans just to spite him. They blocked the budget until it was almost too late
12:31 pm
Ouwachita
Democrats have historically taxed everyone in order to give money and benefits to people who don't want to work because they get more than the working class in the final tally
12:32 pm
MLFAN17
Agreed Buggie
12:32 pm
Buggie
Nobody over here can understand why universal healthcare receives universal hatred over there... Nor why socialist is an insult... And we certainly don't live in a communist country...
12:33 pm
cybernan
I don't understand it either, buggie
12:33 pm
Ouwachita
do you want to die because a death panel decides that you are too old to receive an operation? bottom line of Obamacare.
12:33 pm
MLFAN17
Buggie sorry for not recognizing the flag but where do you live?
12:34 pm
cybernan
however, health care in the US is extremely expensive. Big fancy privately owned hospitals and enormous medical fees -- no caps on doctors salaries, etc.
12:34 pm
Buggie
I guess Ouwachita has never been unable to get a job...
12:34 pm
Buggie
France :)
12:34 pm
cybernan
where in France Buggie?
12:34 pm
Ouwachita
no i havent buggie...I was out of work for 1 day in my life...got a new job the next day.
12:35 pm
MLFAN17
cyber US health care is ridiculously hgh in most places in the US and trying ot get health insurance is almost impossible for a lot of people here
12:35 pm
MLFAN17
I was jsut curious Buggie:)
12:36 pm
Buggie
Ouwachita, even extremely bright and motivated people don't necessarily find a new job quickly, being unemployed is actually very hard to live with for most people. It's only right that society helps them in their time of need
12:36 pm
Ouwachita
I pay over $1,000 per month for my healthcare...out of my own pocket
12:36 pm
MLFAN17
I so agree Buggie but here in the US we have so many that are not getting help and a lot who are that dont really need it as much as others do
12:36 pm
cybernan
aren't you fortunate that you can afford $1000 per month? --- very few can
12:37 pm
Ouwachita
buggie...I have no problem with people in need...but the habitual out of work is a major burden on all of us.
12:37 pm
smithchick
My husband and I managed for over a year without any handouts and a $2600 house payment. We took whatever jobs we needed to and could find that we were overqualified for to pay the bills until he got a job in his chosen field.
12:37 pm
Kamanjah
a part of the healthcare bill offers affordable insurance to anyone, my brother found a good policy that covers all existing conditions, each state has a different name for it - if I think of it, I'll post...try google for something like assigned risk health coverage for your state
12:37 pm
MollyL
So it's official. It doesn't matter who is President. Because it's the Republicans who block everything that are responsible for what is wrong with the US. Got it.
12:37 pm
Ouwachita
good for you chick
12:39 pm
Buggie
I'm certainly very lucky I live in France. When my type 1 diabetes was discovered nearly 3 years ago, all my bills were automatically paid for by my social security. I wouldn't have been able to afford hospital if I had to pay for it myself. Or the equipment and medication I need every day
12:39 pm
MLFAN17
Molly depends on wether a Republican or a Democrat is the winner in the end as to who does or doesnt do what
12:39 pm
Buggie
(my medical bills I mean)
12:40 pm
MollyL
Still, whatever the party, the opinion here is that the President is powerless. Wow.
12:40 pm
MLFAN17
Maybe we should all move to France lol
12:40 pm
MLFAN17
I suppose with some things yes they are
12:41 pm
MollyL
We should definitely all move somewhere else as we are told constantly here how much better their countries are than ours.
12:41 pm
cybernan
France does have an excellent system, buggie. The last time we were there I got caught in Honfleur with an intestinal infection. The hotel clerk called a doctor, who made a housecall, spent 40 minutes with us and gave us 2 prescriptions -- the total bill came to 25 euros ($40 Canadian) -- didn't even bother to claim it on our insurance when I got home!
12:42 pm
Buggie
From what's seen frpm outside, your president only has the power lobbies and the opposition give him, which at the moment isn't much...
12:42 pm
MLFAN17
Cyber that is so awesome
12:43 pm
MLFAN17
Molly No those from foreign countries say its a better life for them here
12:43 pm
Ouwachita
the President's powers are only limited by the opposing party...which tries to keep him/her in check...if his party is in control, he has a free reign to do anything he/she wishes
12:44 pm
Buggie
I just hope our health system survives, it was badly hit by Sarkozy, and Hollande doesn't seem to be taking it in the right direction either
12:44 pm

where in france do you live, buggie?

12:46 pm

good wine country, I believe! :)
12:46 pm
Buggie
Molly, the US like all countries has it good sides and bad sides. I think for the bad sides are health care coverage and politics (but then you could cite politics for any country)
12:47 pm
Buggie
Yeah, there are some good wines from here, but I usually prefer the ones from further south
12:48 pm
cybernan
I am so thankful that we have medicare it isn't perfect, but the essential stuff get's taken care of immediately.
12:49 pm

Orange wouldn't be bad either! Lyon is a little too big and too far north, although I loved Alsace
1:03 pm

The hill towns in the southeast are lovely too -- spent a week in Gordes one year
1:08 pm

I just wish our train system wasn't centred on Paris and didn't cost as much, so it would be much easier to travel

Mind you, we rented a car and drove everywhere

ah -- we haven't been to France for 6 years, now
1:17 pm

a return trip to paris (only an hour and a half TGV trip) used to cost about 60€ full price I think (I had a studen reduction then), now I'm lucky if I can get it under 100€

now this may mess up the chog,but it is stunning and will serve as crossys quote of the day
3:06 pm
crosshair
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.†-Marrianne Williamson

You will continue to be confused by the term "Babblet" (hate that word). People throw it around all the time and have different definitions for what it means.

Well, I started the physics babblet list because there was a word in the grid that was being described as stupid, when it was actually a gamier term to me. But I recognize that I have a rather specialized vocabulary.
7:01 pm
uusue2
Ok, I still can't type, should read familiar, not gamier. Way to ruin my point, iPad.

See, that discussion just goes to show that "Babblet" depends on who you are talking to. Tent? Eons? Not exactly words you only see in Babble. Nor are the British/American spellings of things.
7:12 pm

well, i'm not there NOW... i'm planning ahead :) will be in town the week up until the 21st

I think if we had congressional term limits, we'd probably evolve into 3 or 4 parties within a decade or so.
8:13 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
george blinkin' washington warned us about parties, and especially about having only 2 parties, and i guess that's why we did it. (actually we have more than 2, but the others are too small to count in most races)
8:13 pm
MollyL
Evolved is such a pretty word. A lot of power and influence has gone into forcing this country into a two party option.
8:14 pm
cosdem
A's done. 30 to go
8:14 pm

Awesome Cosdem!

Book Doctor Gwen
we need proportional representation. term limits does not make for more parties, IMO
8:15 pm
crosshair
well,i suppose we are not much better.we have the liberal,the ndp,the pc and partis quebequois and some fringe parties like the green party etc
8:15 pm
nrkii
I chose "evolved" specifically. We have had more parties in the past, and different parties even when it was only 2. But over time... we landed here. And yes, there is a tremendous amount of power and money keeping us locked in this 2 party mess.

BDG, I think with term limits, you'd see 3rd and 4th party candidates become more viable.

I agree Wht. There are some strange words allowed by Enable. Although some people get huffy when people say that. : P
8:34 pm

If I cannot complain about Enable, what can I complain about around here? The lack of Democrats in the grid?

huffy (def) 1. Easily offended; touchy. 2. Irritated or annoyed; indignant.
8:39 pm
pam
I had old school skates--metal with wheels. Not shoe skates, the kind that attached to the shoes.
8:40 pm
pam
Yes, Molly, I know what the word means. But I've not seen anyone grow indignant when enable is "called out."
8:40 pm

What difference does it make if there are strange words? ENABLE is the final arbiter ... nothing else matters.

Ph 4/10! I am finally done with grid! I dove in 4/4 the grid at flip time and made a di4/5 in the puzzle.Then finished the rest later. I was able to find all the words am 4/6 all the letters in the grid.Now here's a story.I watched the debate between Barack & Mi 4/5. I stood in front of the TV ar 4/5 folded in disgust as Romney acted like a jerk. I kept wondering to myself what the he4/10 was going through his mi4/6. That guy is totally insa4/4! I wish that Barack Obama could've de 4/10ed Romney in the head or sma4/6ed his face in. Although many people are not so en 6/21ed with Obama, I like him. I wish I could be in 5/10duced to him in person.Finally,I think Jim Lehrer did an excellent job mo 7/32ing the debate. He did not give the candidates any mo 8/55 looks, even though he had reasons to. He probably wanted to wring Romney's ne 4/9 when he said he would cut funding for PBS. Some people are undecided who to vote for, but I know I will definitely support the democratic pa 5/16 in Nov.By the way,Obama is not a pa6/30. Husband is acting very do 5/16 waiting for computer. I'm sorry I om4/5ted several grid words,but it's very hard to do a story that includes all the words. I am going to da 4/5 on in4/4 my bed and watch some TV. I will be back wh 4/9 the grid flips and start the grid an 4/8. Goodnight for now to all babblers.
