my most vivid memory of Sunday School was walking there (in Shanghai) with a friend and seeing a beggar woman with a baby in her arms, all dressed in rags -- and then the baby's rags slipped a bit and underneath was a beautiful red silk cape. My introduction to the Beggar Kingdom there.

1:05 am

1:06 am

I'm a couple of miles from open land, in the middle of Hollywood, but we often get ugly coyotes, and an occasional not-so-fragrant skunk.

1:08 am

jillibus

flosey, I was joking

1:08 am

jillibus

I guess the clip was on FB

1:08 am

flosey

lol, not one on the island

1:09 am

IndiaJan

No bears here..but lots o skunks

1:09 am

Christine

Those don't seem to come into Hollywood, but some of the outlying parts of LA see them - generally where ther's a large garden, pool, small animalsleft outside - and not something I wanat to find outside (or inside) my apartment. I'll stick with the fish, and an occasional sleepover with DD's cat.

1:11 am

jillibus

the clip was about this dumb female who phoned a radio station to protest a deer crossing sign beside a busy highway. She thought it should be moved to s less busy place so that the deer would try to cross in such a heavily trafficked area.

1:11 am

IndiaJan

Lol

1:11 am

jillibus

*wouldn't try

1:11 am

flosey

We had a bear up the hill behind the house - hubby wondered why the dog was making a strange sound - it was huge and standing against a tree as if he was thinking of climbing(?)

1:12 am

Altagolfnut5

and she was adamant.....wrote letters etc, but no-one wrote her back.

1:12 am

jillibus

the radio person was so patient with her. Maybe it's on YouTube.

1:13 am

Altagolfnut5

it is

1:13 am

flosey

oh jilli, I had not seen that, sounds like one of the "dumb blonde" jokes that circulate (sorry all natural blondes)

1:13 am

Christine

Pitiful. But, in the SD area, there are signs (a man, woman and child, holding hands and running) on the freeway, alerting drivers to people crossing the lanes on foot. Unfortunately, some people (thought to be undocumented) mistook the signs for a safe place to cross.

1:15 am

1:17 am

jillibus

flosey -- there IS a deer crossing sign on Vesuvius Bay Road. Last Christmas someone put a red nose one the painted deer.

7:19 am

smores

evil offspring...lol crossy

7:19 am

rbud

he'll likely be horizontal most of the time now that he can claim the whole couch, lol

7:19 am

crosshair

you nailed that right

7:20 am

crosshair

have the livingroom furniture in new position now and last night he was..yup,horizontal all night

7:23 am

rbud

just like our son - when he deigns to grace us with his presence, haha

7:26 am

rbud

it's looking pretty good for he and his buddy to be on schedule for a move to Iowa in late Nov, complete with jobs in a locomotive-making company. Will believe it when I see it.

7:27 am

rbud

21 and he's never lived away from home yet.

7:27 am

Lizlin

is iowa far from you?

7:27 am

rbud

not really, the next state over.

7:28 am

rbud

state line's about 60 miles away, they'll be able to run home on weekends if they want.

7:28 am

Lizlin

still, moving away from home is good - and the next state over is far enough to encourage independence! don't let him bring his washing home at the weekend though!

7:29 am

car.eeyore

Good morning Babble Land! TGIF!!!!

72 Temple Owl

i got up early to shop pre storm but now it is late

7:47 am

Mom

I hope you will stay safe. It looks nasty on the radar. You are talking about the hurricane, correct?

7:47 am

72 Temple Owl

yes, but it will turn nor'easter then merge with the cold front. leaves still on trees, nasty.

7:48 am

Mom

oh dear, I didn't hear about the nor'easter

7:49 am

72 Temple Owl

yes. not yet sure where it willl make landfall. i need to get some peanut butter, things i can eat without power.

7:50 am

Mom

7:50 am

72 Temple Owl

morning all!

8:11 am

car.eeyore

Good morning uusue!

8:11 am

car.eeyore

How is Frank? And how are YOU?

8:11 am

smores

morning uu

8:11 am

uusue2

hi car!

8:11 am

uusue2

and hi smores!

8:12 am

uusue2

Frank and I are both doing pretty well. He had pancakes last night, and is ok!

8:12 am

car.eeyore

:) :) :)

8:13 am

smores

that's great uu - it sucks that crohns is kinda hit and miss of what you can and can't have

8:14 am

uusue2

I've started to do sort of a modified eat-every-other-day diet, where I alternate days of eating very little with days of eating normally, maybe I can get my weight down

8:14 am

car.eeyore

Make sure your blood sugar stays even though.

8:14 am

smores

that sounds like what crossy is doing

8:14 am

uusue2

it does suck, smores, and he is still in mid-flare, so much more restricted than he probably will be once it calms down

8:15 am

uusue2

well, my eating very little days aren't quite as restricted as what crossy's doing; I'm eating three times a day, just not very much each time

8:16 am

car.eeyore

Just add in a fruit or veggie if you need a snack.

8:17 am

smores

my niece has something similar ( forget what it's called) no dairy, nothing with tomatoes, lots of fruits affect her

8:17 am

uusue2

yes, I've done that (college senate meeting yesterday morning had some fresh raspberries and blackberries - yum!!)

8:18 am

smores

nice uu - good that meeting are turning to the fruits for morning meetings instead of the donuts and coffee

8:18 am

car.eeyore

Nice choice! Super fruits!

8:19 am

smores

just make sure on the days you aren't eating much to still eat a little something 1st thing in the morning

8:19 am

uusue2

our dean is a bit of a health nut (although there are usually some muffins or something as well)

8:20 am

uusue2

and Frank is ok with dairy, thank goodness, as long as it is low fat (yogurt ok, ice cream not)

8:21 am

smores

if he likes ice cream, maybe try some of the frozen yogurts - I switched to that a while back trying to lose a little weight myself

8:23 am

uusue2

I did get him some vanilla - he can't have the ones with chunky fruits right now - he seemed to like it

8:25 am

smores

that's good, I had a bad ice cream habit :) mostly eat the frozen yogurt now - still have the occasional chocolate moose tracks :)

8:26 am

car.eeyore

Y'all are making me hungry!

8:26 am

smores

sorry car :)

8:27 am

uusue2

It's really complicated with him because of the celiac - everything has to be gluten free - and right now he has to be on very low fiber, and nothing that has large pieces (so almost pureed) - the pancakes worked because they pretty much disintegrate.

8:27 am

uusue2

I could talk about his symptoms and take your appetite right away, car :-)

8:28 am

car.eeyore

Such a learning process for everyone.

8:28 am

uusue2

boy, is it ever!

8:33 am

car.eeyore

SQUEEEE!!!! OUr new bed is here!!!!! Bye for now!

8:33 am

smores

yeah car !!!

8:34 am

uusue2

bye car!

8:34 am

rbud

wow, new recliners for crossy and the Mrs., and a new bed for car - it's a banner day! :)

8:34 am

smores

uu - have you checked this site? http://www.ccfacommunity.org/

8:35 am

uusue2

and I have nbt (although all my words are 4 and 5 letters), better get my day started. I think Frank is well enough that I can walk to work (don't need to worry about dashing home).

8:35 am

uusue2

thanks, smores! I haven't been on the site much myself but Frank has been reading it a lot.

8:35 am

uusue2

Hi Judi

Judi

9:12 am

smores

?

9:12 am

hego

lol Judi

9:13 am

Buggie

Petri takes a capital P, it's named after a person, so it's a proper name, not a common one

9:13 am

smores

lol...thanks Judi {slurp}

9:13 am

hego

I think it was named after the inventor.

9:13 am

Judi

Yep. It's right there next to the Bunson burner. Damn self-promotional scientists anyway.

9:14 am

smores

still seems odd to me

9:14 am

Buggie

hah, you should see all the common british terms that aren't accepted

9:14 am

Judi

There's a lot of propper nouns that have become part of our daily lexicon... Kleenex, etc.

Judi

Tissue? I don't even know you.

That would be "poon", ruru.

9:18 am

9:21 am

Judi

Yes, hego! I'm totally psyched for it!

9:21 am

YAY!!!! I'm thrilled!

9:24 am

Judi

High noon on the Riverfront. Sounds like a Gary Cooper movie.

We returned from our walk around the block last night and our cat greeted us and proudly showed us the (still alive) mouse he had captured.

9:46 am

smores

what a wonderful treat Judi

9:46 am

smores

gotta love cat presents

9:46 am

Judi

Of course we were very impressed and lavished praise on him.

9:47 am

smores

lol...of course

9:47 am

Judi

He batted it around and made sure it squeaked so we could hear it.

9:48 am

hego

oh yuck

9:48 am

Judi

So today, I'm sure he'll be kind enough to barf it up somewhere in the house.

9:48 am

smores

ughh

9:49 am

Judi

Yeah. That part I could really live without.

9:49 am

smores

mine usually don't barf their catches back up...thankfully

9:52 am

smores

one rarely catches anything ( too sophisticated for that) the other two leave me "presents" on the porch all the time

Good Morning All. Speaking of cats; if mine finds one, she delivers it to us and uses the very odd low pitched meowing sound, and it's usually fairly dead. Thank goodness we haven't ever found her vomiting them up somewhere!

9:53 am

hego

and a squirrel. dead.

9:53 am

hego

hiya Nef!!!!

9:53 am

smores

wow - never got one of those hego

9:53 am

Judi

My husband would love it if our cat killed snakes. My husband is the biggest baby about snakes.

9:54 am

smores

awww not a squirrel :( - you must have a large cat

9:54 am

Nef

that's impressive, hego! Can I borrow that one? We have these squirrels that keep destroying our bird feeders

9:54 am

hego

she was a great hunter and she was small.

9:54 am

smores

hi nef

9:54 am

Nef

hi hego, Judi, and smores!

9:55 am

hego

she's long gone nef.

9:55 am

Judi

Hiya, nef!

9:55 am

Judi

It's pretty rare that our cat gets a kill now. He's gotten very fat and lazy.

9:55 am

saanichcat

yhis is gross -- my cat brings in lizards, swallowed head first with its tail wiggling away -- literally one tail wiggled across the floor. better than birdies though.

9:56 am

Nef

Darn, hego; I need a squirrel catching cat..

9:56 am

Judi

LOLOLOL. Oh that's awesom, saani!

9:56 am

hego

oh, saani!

9:56 am

Riverdance

hello folks - only here for a few minutes

9:56 am

smores

lol...cool

9:56 am

saanichcat

catching the tails is a must because they really smell bad after a few days

9:56 am

smores

hi again River

9:57 am

Nef

Ewww, saanichcat! Thankfully, there aren't many lizards here!

9:57 am

Judi

If my husband saw that, he would scream like a girl.

9:57 am

hego

must go. hagd All.

9:57 am

Nef

hi River. How are you?

9:57 am

Riverdance

we dont have lizards up our way - thank goodness

9:57 am

Judi

Seeya, Hego!

9:57 am

Judi

Hi, River.

9:57 am

Riverdance

bye hego

9:57 am

my daughter would freak if her cat ever caught a lizard - she also has a gecko

9:58 am

smores

9:59 am

Nef

bye, hego. HAGD

9:59 am

saanichcat

my mother's cat once brought home a duck; she had it by the scrff of its neck and pushed it through the cat door, both legs flapping away! My mother didn't know there was a cat behind it! too fuuny.

9:59 am

Judi

Gotta go heat up 2nd cup of coffee. Later, peeps! *POOF*

10:00 am

Nef

Coffee! THAT'S what I'm missing! I started a pot, now to pour a cup

10:01 am

smores

wow - see must have a rather large cat

10:01 am

smores

did the duck get loose in the house?

10:02 am

smores

*she

10:02 am

saanichcat

she was huge and gentle ginger rescue cat. Loved to go clam-digging with my dad down on the beach. Dad would open them for her. what a cat. Miss her.

10:03 am

smores

sounds like a very cool kitty

10:04 am

saanichcat

The duck got away with the aid of a broom. But once I brought over a box of crabs (lucky day) and they got loose from their box and scuttlrd sround the kitchen and bit the same cat.

10:04 am

smores

ohhh, too funny

10:06 am

Nef

wow! I'm glad I don't have those types of stories

10:06 am

saanichcat

country life Nef - you either deal with it or turn up the stereo

10:09 am

Nef

true, saanichcat. And I love sea food, but wouldn't want it running around loose (and with my kids; I'm glad we lived here in MN when they were young! We'd have that type of stories then!

10:09 am

saanichcat

I clean the crabs at the beach now.

10:11 am

smores

mmmmm......crabs

10:12 am

Nef

We live in a 1950's-type suburb within 10 minutes of both Minneapolis and St. Paul city centers. But we have deer that wander through here; mallard ducks that nest on our lawns, and rogue geese that can scare the dogs (they come through the yards in flocks in the spring)

10:13 am

saanichcat

setting the table for them is easy - newspaper, hammer, butter etc

10:13 am

Nef

I love crabs too.

10:13 am

smores

don't forget the lemon :)

10:14 am

saanichcat

where do the deer come from? Are they city dwellers? We have that "problem" here too but we are taking away their homes.

10:16 am

saanichcat

a snow goose can break your arm with its wing.

10:16 am

Nef

There are about 5 lakes within 1-2 miles of us; then there is also a preserve just 2-3 blocks away and lots of wetland running through an area just a mile away that runs for about 3 miles

10:17 am

saanichcat

oooohhh I see.

10:17 am

saanichcat

nice place to live!

10:18 am

Nef

12:30 pm

Nef

the 10 isn't an extension of an 8; it's to come back to your country again

12:30 pm

Shallow One

an again re, but the word it was derived from doesnt work - that threw me off track at first

12:31 pm

I have been trying to find words like that. Thanks, will find them now :)

tape

12:52 pm

hurshy

well, he's ok. i mean he doesn't eat enough, but he does eat. and then i found out from my sister that when her dog had this kind of issue they put her on a steroid which increased her appetite and she gained the weight back. so now i know that's an option i feel better.

12:52 pm

periwinkle

what is wrong with your kitty, hursh?

12:53 pm

Shallow One

good to hear

12:53 pm

Shallow One

lost his ap7

12:53 pm

hurshy

nothing much peri, he lost some weight, but his blood and urine tests came back looking pretty good. we've switched him to wet food because some of his kidney levels were SLIGHTLY elevated, but it's hard to get him to eat enough of it, because he's never been very into food.

12:53 pm

Glantarell

to5 has the same ending as the gladiator

12:53 pm

periwinkle

oh, ok

12:54 pm

hurshy

i sometimes have been stressing about him more than may have been warranted...

12:54 pm

periwinkle

you are allowed, hursh, he is your baby

12:55 pm

hurshy

and such a little love-bunny

12:55 pm

hurshy

food, he says, i can take or leave. but LOVE, i will DIE without.

12:56 pm

hurshy

hmm the top R's seem challenings.

12:56 pm

Nef

Aww, hurshy. I hope it's just that he's fussy about what he's eating these days

12:57 pm

hurshy

yeah there doesn't seem to be anything particularly wrong, and like i said, now that i know he could potentially be given something to stimulate his appetite if necessary, i feel better.

12:58 pm

hurshy

if we could do a "freaky friday" sort of thing and trade appetites, he'd do fine...

12:59 pm

Glantarell

*fireworks*

12:59 pm

I've never had a cat that lost weight by being finicky about what they eat.

1:01 pm

Glantarell

happy babbling all, not sure what i am having - salad was planned but it's too cold to njoy salad so i'll probably have pasta with tomato sauce

1:01 pm

Nef

(just realized I need to go to the PB too

1:01 pm

Shallow One

well, enjoy

1:01 pm

Glantarell

see you tomorrow *poof*

1:02 pm

1:05 pm

Sounds rather fishy to me

1:10 pm

Shallow One

hi br

1:10 pm

periwinkle

hi there BR

1:10 pm

hurshy

name that proper noun is a game we play to get the proper nouns out of our system, since we can't enter them.

1:10 pm

hego

Just a little side game, Shallow.

1:10 pm

hurshy

i invented it. :)

1:11 pm

yes you did.

1:11 pm

you did, indeed, hursh

Hey Matt. :)

proper nouns are okay as long as they are in the Enable dictionary

I don't get this ex and re word either. Clarify, pls

1:37 pm

it's not an ex word that's in the grid

1:37 pm

hurshy

it's if you were an ex... well related to pa7

1:38 pm

Shallow One

yes, but slightly different spelling

1:38 pm

hurshy

just think of the word that means someone going back to their own country (without the negative connotation of deport or extradite)

1:38 pm

Shallow One

and verb-form

1:38 pm

o-o

the ra turnip leaves word is ensconced

1:39 pm

now that one i feel less hopeful about deciphering.

1:39 pm

I got the pa 7, but what am I looking for with the re?

1:39 pm

Shallow One

youre on the right track for the re 19, hurshy

1:39 pm

1:44 pm

hurshy

is that the one you mean?

1:44 pm

bichon

We didn't have power for a day during Irene and nothing went bad. But more than that, I don't know. During last year's Oct. snowstorm we didn't have power for 3 days, but it was much colder out

babble something about entering the country again is one of the RE words that could be an ex word?

2:40 pm

hurshy

it is re10, yes, and it could be ex10, if the grid were arranged differently.

2:45 pm

o-o

In general terms, the ex (not in the grid) is a person who moved to another country, may renounce his citizenship, and became a citizen of the country he/she moved to. The re in the grid refers to a person who comes back to his/her country of origin

2:45 pm

hello all

3:33 pm

Hey Cos

3:33 pm

Soodle

((((Molly)))). No need for the uiske. My needs have been well catered for this week!!

3:34 pm

Soodle

Hey Cos.

3:34 pm

cosdem

i have hot apple cider frothing in our hot drink maker

3:34 pm

Soodle

Sounds delish, Cos :-)

3:35 pm

MollyL

Yes but that whiskey, lemon, sugar and cloves thing that a fellow Irishman posted here is such warmth on a cold night.

3:36 pm

Soodle

Indeed. As you know, I am not a whiskey drinker, but, if one is feeling unwell, or if it is very cold outside, or if the day of the week has a 'Y' in it, a hot whiskey is always comforting!

3:38 pm

MollyL

People are in total freak out mode over this impending storm. State of emergencies have been declared in advance, the electric company is leaving "be prepared" voice mails and I'm sure people are at the grocery stores buying everything in site.

3:38 pm

Soodle

I heard an old man (80+) asking for a 'What Hiskey' in the pub a while ago. Clearly, it wasn't his first...........

3:39 pm

3:40 pm

To teach someone how to do their job again?

3:40 pm

Soodle

Jeepers, even over here, we are getting news bulletins about the impending tempest.

3:41 pm

sammysmom

thanks molly

3:41 pm

MollyL

My only concern is a tree out back that has the kind of branches that don't do well in high winds. It shouldn't cause much damage if it goes down, but I have deep affection for trees. Especially that one.

3:41 pm

Soodle

Great clue, thanks Molls.

3:43 pm

Dorens

hi :)

3:45 pm

Dorens

i'm trying to ignore this, since last year i lost my electricity for 6 - 7 days in August and again in October. And still didn't get a generator

3:45 pm

Soodle

I'm not sure if its because of the rotten Summer we have had, or maybe I am just becoming a bit more observant in my old age, but the colours of the trees this Autumn (Fall) are the most spectacular I ever remember.

3:46 pm

MollyL

I would love to have a generator. It would take a lot of the worry out of big storms.

3:46 pm

Dorens

you had a lot of rain, right Soodle? that does make for great color

3:46 pm

MollyL

The amount of rain you have over the summer has a lot to do with the intensity of the fall trees.

3:46 pm

Dorens

Molly, i was so close to getting one... a pushbutton generator was on sale for a great price at Costco

3:46 pm

MollyL

Snap Dorens. : )

3:48 pm

uusue2

hi all! taking a break from work...

3:48 pm

Dorens

hi sue

3:48 pm

Soodle

How much could you expect to pay for a generator?

3:48 pm

uusue2

hi dorens, soodle, molly!

3:49 pm

Dorens

oh it runs the gamut.. the one i was look at was about $700... but they go much higher. particularly if you don't feel very mechanical and want one that will sort of start on its own

3:51 pm

hego

hi Ladies

3:51 pm

uusue2

hi hego!

3:51 pm

Dorens

hi hego. made storm preparations?

3:51 pm

MollyL

It also depends on how many things you want to keep running. They are priced by the electrical output they provide.

3:52 pm

hego

not much to do.

3:52 pm

Soodle

Hiya Sue & Hego :-)

3:52 pm

hego

have water have batteries, have food.

3:52 pm

hego

And the stores are a zoo.

3:52 pm

Dorens

yes, i guess that is about it

3:52 pm

Soodle

Hmm... $700 plus is a big outlay.

3:53 pm

hego

and I live 3 miles from the ocean

3:53 pm

grammaterri1

can I get the re 6/18 between the 10 and the first 8?

3:53 pm

hego

but I do wish I had a generator also.

3:53 pm

MollyL

After living through two long power outages, I keep a "storm kit" stocked. That way, I don't have to battle the last minute folks at the store.

3:53 pm

Dorens

it is soodle, and then there are other costs involved, unless you can just lug it up and down the steps, and they are heavy

3:54 pm

hego

good idea Molly

3:54 pm

Dorens

yup. i have my lantern andflashlights and batteries, etc all together and pull them out and have them ready whenever one threatens

3:55 pm

grammaterri1

oh my word, nevermind lol I found it

3:55 pm

cosdem

is it me or is this grid boring as hell?

3:55 pm

grammaterri1

3:56 pm

hego

it's not you.

3:56 pm

grammaterri1

3:56 pm

cosdem

3:56 pm

MollyL

I agree, it's not you Cos. I've been doing it in dribs and drabs because I keep getting bored with it.

3:56 pm

Dorens

3:56 pm

Aloyisius

hi all, back to find my last 15 - company has gone, supper went well and kitchen is clean.. aah, time to relax!

8:13 pm

stidmama

YAY NANCY!

(((aloyisius))) hey all

8:13 pm

Aloyisius

howdy ((stid)) !

8:14 pm

Aloyisius

.. and congrats to Nancy!

8:15 pm

stidmama

how are you aloyisius? where are you? is storm Sandy going to cause you any problems?

8:16 pm

Aloyisius

stid, I'm still in Ohio for 10 more days.. yes, we are supposed to get the "backlash" and maybe 3+ inches of snow on Halloween, but not as bad as other areas .. just had a going away supper for neighbors who are headed for southern Texas tomorrow afternoon.. they are getting out in the nick of time

8:17 pm

Aloyisius

are you dressing up for Halloween?

8:17 pm

stidmama

well three inches isn't horrible, just more than I know you usually get this time of year. I hope the storm won't be as bad as feared.

8:17 pm

stidmama

I don't observe halloween, so -- no. :-)

8:18 pm

Aloyisius

me too! The power outages are the worst part, I think.. some trees still have leaves, ergo heavy snow snaps branches on top of power lines

8:18 pm

Aloyisius

Mother Nature knows what she is doing when trees shed their leaves

8:20 pm

stidmama

definitely -- the maples here are only just turning (WAY late) and I hope they finish and drop the leaves before we get a wind storm. Last time we had an early "blast" it was pretty bad.

8:21 pm

stidmama

are you doing anything special for the holiday? other than shoveling snow?

8:22 pm

Aloyisius

lol, no.. I bought some Snickers just in case kids come, but they haven't been by for years (sniff).. the neighborhood kids are all grown and gone

8:22 pm

Aloyisius

now, what AM I going to do with those Snickers, lol

8:23 pm

Aloyisius

sigh, guess petri is proper, as in petri dish

8:24 pm

stidmama

our neighborhood has a small resurgence in kids -- a family that moved in last year, one that moved into their recently vacated grandparents' home, grandparents parenting their grandkids... but it's a lot quieter now than it used to be. Snickers don't last long, do they. I suppose you can justify not letting them go to waste with all the extra calories burned because it's chilly when snow is being shoveled? And if you are the one shoveling the snow you can justify a few more...

8:26 pm

Aloyisius

well, ya know.. Snickers freeze well, but I don't know that

8:27 pm

Aloyisius

we have a contract with a snow "pusher".. if there is 4" or more, he comes.. otherwise, our circular driveway on an incline is impassable

8:27 pm

stidmama

not enough room in our freezer for snickers, with all the apple pie filling (I canned it, but a few of the jars didn't seal well), the frozen berries from summer, the ice cream...

8:28 pm

periwinkle

2nd pi6/21 pls

8:28 pm

8:29 pm

MollyL

Guy with an eye patch and peg leg, Peri

8:29 pm

Aloyisius

knock on the door + m*** skirts may come back in fashion

8:29 pm

stidmama

oh my, yes one of grant's friends has a similar driveway, and the last big snowstorm I had to deliver Grant... I slowed down on the road, skidded past, pushed the kid out... *wicked mama grin* managed to slow enough to navigate the round end of the cul-de-sac and relied on the traction bit on the car to pull me out.

8:29 pm

stidmama
