I'm really worried for my old friends in NJ, with that awul storm looming

12:31 am

cybernan

hello everyone -- looks tough

12:31 am

jillibus

hi nan -- I thinks so

12:31 am

dizgrannie

Hope all our babblers on the east coast are safe xoxo

12:31 am

stidmama

12:31 am

stidmama

hey nan!

12:32 am

stidmama

12:32 am

flosey

Jill, my NJ friend was looking for a game of bridge but I don't know where he is in NJ

12:33 am

jillibus

Of course I feel for everyont there too -- lots of babblers

12:33 am

stidmama

the U, grannie -- assume it's fishy, but pretty tired

12:33 am

Marais

We got water, batteries, milk, bread, and our outdoor grill if/when the power goes.

I don't think my old pals play bridge.

12:33 am

dizgrannie

12:33 am

jillibus

hi marais -- good luck to you

12:34 am

Marais

Thank you.

12:34 am

stidmama

sounds like you're ready, marais -- I know you-all still have lots of leaves on your trees, which makes even a moderate storm more hazardous.

12:34 am

stidmama

*gasp* thanks grannie...

12:34 am

stidmama

that's NBT for me! LOL

12:35 am

The tsunami warning has just been updated, jill, to extend south to the BC/Washington border. I think it's an advisory there. Hoping it is not too high.

12:36 am

jillibus

oh -- needed that middle I too (looking)

12:36 am

stidmama

can help with those if you like, jill

12:37 am

jillibus

wow, helens, I didn't hear anything about it!

12:37 am

stidmama

oh, good to know helensgirl... we're okay, but I hope people get the warning!

12:37 am

stidmama

hey bugs! It is now said to have been 7.7 bugs

12:39 am

helensgirlkid

I looked up earthquake haida gwai and ther it was - the earthquake doesn't appear to have done much, but 7.7 was enough to trigger automatic tsunami warnings.

12:39 am

cybernan

ty - didn't see that

12:39 am

stidmama

I think you are enjoying giving that clue a little too much dizgrannie... *wicked mama grin*

12:39 am

jillibus

12:44 am

stidmama

we'll "weather" it, lizlin... at least the east coast is getting a lot of solid warnings. They are evacuating low-lying areas in many states already

12:44 am

Lizlin

Better safe ..., as they say.

12:44 am

saanichcat

Hello stidi! I am keeping warm around my neck with a handmade silk scarf.

12:48 am

cybernan

lol - tried that too, sannich

12:48 am

Bugsaw

my computer only lets me play Babble and is set to get fixed on Tuesday. I sure wish I cud check out the quake on line. So far no injuries

12:48 am

stidmama

:-D usually, saanich...

12:49 am

PAV3

that was a blip...saying I had less than a minute left for the game

12:49 am

stidmama

I am glad you are getting it fixed, bugs... and gladder still you can still babble!

12:49 am

jillibus

naughty computer, bugs -- howcum?

12:49 am

saanichcat

yes, tes stid you are right. Tsunami lifted

12:49 am

saanichcat

for Alaska

12:50 am

jillibus

CNN said the tsunami was aimed right at Hawaii and most of the Pacific is not affected

12:50 am

stidmama

so you-all are likely safe too, you're closer in than alaska!

12:50 am

stidmama

I have all the S words now...

12:50 am

stidmama

34

12:50 am

Bugsaw

I don't know what happened Jilli. I tried to open the musical instrument thing you sent me and the whole thing froze up. Ever since it has been getting slower and slower and things freeze all the time

12:51 am

cybernan

leaving the last 35 for tomorrow -- good night everyone :)

12:51 am

stidmama

sweet dreams nan

12:51 am

Lizlin

Good night Cybernan

12:51 am

jillibus

oh dear, bugs -- sorry I caused it!

12:51 am

saanichcat

I think the whole area will be lifted - it was one of the earthquakes types that doesn't cause tsunamis

12:52 am

jillibus

How old is your computer, bugs?

12:52 am

Bugsaw

I am not sure you did. It was getting weird off and on before that.

12:52 am

Bugsaw

not old enough for me to get a new one, that's for sure!

12:53 am

jillibus

I keep trying to make gerunds out of words with a G in them. Doesn't work.

12:53 am

jillibus

Could you hae a virus, bugs?

12:53 am

saanichcat

gee I wonder why Jilli!

12:53 am

Bugsaw

cud be. that is why the geeks are coming

12:54 am

jillibus

glad you have geeks coming.

12:54 am

Bugsaw

they are lovely geeks who come to your house

12:55 am

rururocks

jilli? should I send you guys some mustard?

12:55 am

stidmama

THIRTY!!!!

12:55 am

stidmama

oh -- jill and bugs and flo -- put two pics up of the kiddo on my blog, homecoming dance tonight!

12:56 am

stidmama

mustard? *confused mama look* what sort of mustard should accompany tsunamis?

12:56 am

Bugsaw

you are doing well stid. I will check the blog when the geeks save the day

12:56 am

rururocks

oh ... tsunamis.. I thought they said salamis

12:56 am

stidmama

rofl ruru!

12:57 am

Bugsaw

WHAT?! LOL

12:57 am

stidmama

according to local news, the south central alaska tsunami today was about 12 inches

12:58 am

jillibus

I was lucky today. My computer shut down overnight, unbidden. When I opened it I got a black DOS screen with white writing on it, and there was something about a power surge. I hit a key they suggested and another DOS "Restore" screen came up, and I had no clue what to do. So I phoned the place I got the computer from (they built it) not really expectoing to find anyone there on a Saturday morning, but bingo -- got a very helpful lady who walked me through the fix and all is well.

12:58 am

stidmama

that is good news, jill -- nice to know some tech personnel are still around!

1:00 am

jillibus

I'm glad I got the machine there --it cost a bit more but as they say on the business card -- "Computer Sales With Service".

1:01 am

rururocks

jilli missed my joke

1:01 am

Bugsaw

that sounds very weird too Jill. glad it worked

1:01 am

stidmama

well, 28 seems like a good place to start. the caffeine pill has finally worn off! (((hugs))) so good to see you all. Hope your weather and substrates will be calm!

*poof*

1:01 am

jillibus

No I didn't ruru -- was just busy typing, lol!

1:02 am

jillibus

gnight stid -- sleep well

1:02 am

Bugsaw

oops, just discovered a word I have been using here. Off to the PB

1:02 am

Bugsaw

nite stid

1:03 am

jillibus

Bugs, it's possible that a Hydro "smart meter" was installed early this morning while I was alseep and cause the power surge. I'll have to check in the morning if it's not pouring rain again.

1:03 am

PAV3

I have nbs and +1, but not NBT

We're ready. Wish we weren't in the zone though.

I have a friend in Easton, MD, and of course many Babblers are in danger.

I have a sister in northeastern NJ that is ready to get slammed.

8:48 am

Hi everyone!...sorry to hear about the weather conditions.....where is MD?

8:48 am

MollyL

I'm holding good thoughts for the Delaware and Maryland eastern shore towns. They have special places in my heart.

8:48 am

Scrabbler

Maryland--east coast USA

8:49 am

Scrabbler

Flask--read info on www.weather.com

8:49 am

Right next to Washington, DC, Flask.

8:49 am

Flask1

Sorry for asking....being a foreigner, am not too familiar with them!...:)

8:50 am

Thanx Molly!

8:50 am

Flask, the same thing happens when UK-ers mention towns and areas. e.g. the Midlands

8:51 am

Flask1

How about the Scottish Borders???....thats where I am.....

8:52 am

Scrabbler

I look at a UK map A LOT since joining Babble 6 yrs ago.

8:52 am

MollyL

I have to look at maps to get an idea of where people in other countries are too.

8:53 am

Flask1

Good....it can be very interesting!

8:53 am

Scrabbler

"Eastern part of the Southern Uplands"--haha

8:53 am

lynxxx

I recognise all the US towns and the States however the relative new use of 2 letters (postal address?) for the States confuses me

8:54 am

Flask1

Yes....definitely me too.....

8:54 am

Scrabbler

Yes, lynxxx, I shouldn't have typed MD

8:55 am

lynxxx

NP Scrabbler just hard for us outsiders

8:55 am

Flask1

Am definitely in the East, Scrabbler.....a town named Jedburgh....can u see it?

8:55 am

Scrabbler

I have looked at a map of Australia many times since joining here.

8:55 am

MollyL

The abbreviations must not be familiar in other countries. We have been using them here since 1963.

8:56 am

Scrabbler

I see it, Flask! Near 2 parks--Northumberland and Kielder--those are places I would go to

8:59 am

lynxxx

but not in speech (books/film/TV) or for example on maps - so, unless you live in the States, the abbreviations would rarely be referred to.

9:04 am

Scrabbler

Bergen County, 1/4 mile from New York state. She is in Montvale and has a brook in her back yard. She got flooded with Hurricane Irene 14 mo ago and spent $15K to get the brook fortified this past summer. This storm is a big test.

9:05 am

hego

but it's lucky she did that.

9:05 am

Scrabbler

The brook heads into the Passaic River, if I recall.

9:07 am

hego

wow! kazz, that's quite a day.

9:08 am

That is a LONG day, Kazzer. Is it a long commute that causes the long day?

9:08 am

Now I have heard of the Passiac River..but where is it?

9:08 am

My husband just got back and I'm so glad he's here.

I'm wondering if the storm will disrupt the election in the affected states?

No rain, but the wind is picking up

It shouldn't, nan -- formal voting is a week from this coming Tuesday.

1:11 pm

but if there is a lot of flooding?

1:11 pm

Hopefully, the election won't be affected. My biggest hope is that the utilities can bring back the power more quickly than last year.

1:11 pm

MollyL

I don't know if extended power outages will have an impact on polling places or not. Time will tell.

1:12 pm

4:46 pm

Minveryork

By the way,congratulations to all the finishersHooray

hurshy

yes, everything but like food and medical stuff

5:11 pm

o-o

Does Marty have the day off?

5:11 pm

hurshy

they've never done this before in my experience - they usually make you take a sick day if you feel that you can't safely come in because of the weather

5:12 pm

hurshy

no, marty has to eat every day

5:15 pm

Deeha

Thinking about our East Coast American friends tonight. Hope the satorm blows itself out soon

5:15 pm

Minveryork

Hello Jillyjill.I am experiencing the calm before the storm.

5:16 pm

cosdem

Molly I bet you're excited about Dr. Whale aka Frankenstein :P I read an article that the writers said the show was not only limited to fairy tales but all stories. thats why the towns called storybrooke.. and it was the fans that assumed it was limited to fairy tales

5:17 pm

hurshy

4th row done!

5:17 pm

o-o

1476 hurshy

5:18 pm

hurshy

lol i am not close

5:18 pm

hurshy

the fourth row only has 7 words :)

5:21 pm

Jillyjill

Glad you are OK minv...is your school shut down for tomorrow?

5:22 pm

Minveryork

Yes,I phone call this afternoon saying saying "no work"

5:22 pm

MollyL

Well Cos, it was widely touted as a show about fairy tale characters. I think the writers have taken big liberties.

5:22 pm

o-o

Thanks, Deeha, for thinking about the East-coasters.

5:22 pm

MollyL

And if you think about it, there was nothing in Henry's book about Frankenstein or any other such characters.

5:24 pm

cosdem

They said they would probably do an episode about Oz. The book had flying monkeys they said. Need to watch that episode again/

5:25 pm

MollyL

I've never seen any flying monkeys in Henry's book.

5:26 pm

cosdem

Thats what I thought too. I dont like the idea of Frankenstein but at least it looks to be a Regina show. I love these ones the best.

5:31 pm

wht

Off for dinner. Hope to be back later to finish.

5:32 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye wht! I will see you later on in the chog maybe.

5:36 pm

Jillyjill

5:37 pm

MollyL

Min, I love Annie Potts. : )

5:37 pm

Minveryork

I like her too. She was funny in Ghostbuster and Pretty in Pink. I cannot believe that she is 60 years old already!

5:38 pm

MollyL

She was also one of the Designing Women, all of whom I just love.

5:40 pm

Soodle

Hi all. Hatches all battened down in the East Coast?

5:40 pm

Minveryork

I forgot about that show. I never watched that show. I thought Dixie Carter was annoying so I did not watch it.

5:40 pm

Minveryork

Hello Soodle! How are you doing? Welcome to the chog

5:40 pm

MollyL

Aye Cap'n. Braced for the worst, hoping for the best.

5:40 pm

Soodle

Hi Min :-). Thanks.

5:41 pm

Minveryork

I fear I will not be able to Babble for the next few days.\

5:41 pm

Jillyjill

I like Annie Pots and Mary Steenbergen, both highly underated actresses!

5:42 pm

MollyL

I agree about both, Jilly.

5:42 pm

Jillyjill

Hello soodle...I just missed you the other day during your patriotic gesture for visitors to Ireland...

5:42 pm

Soodle

Thats all you can do Molls! Have the weathermen revised their forecasts, or is it still high alert?

5:42 pm

origami

Hello babblers!

5:42 pm

Jillyjill

I sort of think, molly, that since they are not beauty queens, they got lost in the shuffle...

5:43 pm

Jillyjill

Hi origami, haven't been on with you in a while...how are you?

5:43 pm

origami

Hi Jilly ... I'm good. Been busy on the house -- painting and redoing floors. How are you?

5:47 pm

Ooooh .. Hawaii!

5:48 pm

Jillyjill

Hmmmm. Replacing welcome mat with welcome pole.....

5:48 pm

smores

Hi again, got about 20 min til dinner

5:48 pm

Jillyjill

I don't need no stinking pole....

5:49 pm

Jillyjill

Hello again smores

5:49 pm

MollyL

Isn't Soodle clever? She can type and put out a welcome mat/pole at the same time. Probably while dancing a jig too.

5:49 pm

origami

It probably will be boring ... maybe there will be a lot of alcohol to take off the edge :p

5:50 pm

Jillyjill

May I ask your profession origami?

5:50 pm

Soodle

I'm female. I multi task! :-p

5:50 pm

origami

I work for the Univ of Ca division of agriculture in business and operations management.

5:50 pm

Jillyjill

Darn tooting soodle!

5:51 pm

Soodle

Hey Smores & Origami. :-)

5:51 pm

origami

Ha Soodle! I once hired a young man who answered a question about conflicting priorities with "I can multi-task like a woman!"

5:51 pm

Jillyjill

Well, we sort of have something in common, my father was a professor in agricultlure at Cal Poly SLO...

5:51 pm

Minveryork

Hello smores! How are you? Welcome back to the chog

5:52 pm

Soodle

I'm glad you hired him Origami. An answer like that was awesome!

5:52 pm

5:56 pm

Soodle

Chez Soodle served up a rather nice roast beef, yorkshire pudding, roasted mediteranean veg & roast potatoes this evening.

5:56 pm

smores

fresh veggies season coming to an end - very sad :(

5:57 pm

smores

5:57 pm

MollyL

<---Pork tenderloin, mashed potatoes, fresh broccoli and French bread.

5:58 pm

Soodle

And, I roasted them in Fry-light, which made them relatively healthy!

5:58 pm

MollyL

We get fresh vegetables all year long, thank God. I can't stand frozen or canned.

5:58 pm

wvteach

Jillyjill

I think I am going to visit all of you and eat with you!!

5:59 pm

smores

glad dinners almost ready, chat is making me hungry :)

5:59 pm

MollyL

Word to the wise, roasting in olive oil is pretty healthy and it doesn't have all the chemicals that spray fry products have.

5:59 pm

Soodle

Crackling with the pork, Molls?

6:00 pm

origami

I have four growing seasos here ... I'll have turnips, beets, carrots, lettuce, chard, kale and broccoli from my garden all winter :-)

6:01 pm

I have about 10 onions, 4 carrots and 10 tomatoes left from my garden. If I win the lottery, I'm putting up a real greenhouse that I can grow things in ALL year...

6:01 pm

Back in another lifetime, I used to do a lot of travelling. By the time my youngest daughter was 5, she had visited 4 continents!!

I have my own little Pagan rituals that are outside mainstream Halloween festivities. I also give out candy to the kids when they drop by, and decorate accordingly.

I will Google Hallowen Pagan rituals. I'd love to know more about them. And, of course, we here also must stock up on treats for the kids who will be cali

Samhain marks the Druid New Year. Traditionally, all fires in the home are put out and people await fire from the new one lit at Tlachtga.

6:41 pm

Soodle

I did'nt know that Samhain (or,in English November) was the start of the Druid New Year. Interesting!

6:46 pm

It is a good night to raise a glass and commune with your ancestors. Actually, you can commune with mine too since they probably walk the sod over there. : )

Molly, i will actively engage with whatever spirits care to visit me. (jesus..... Am I Ebeneezer Scrooge?). LOL

And, as its past midnight here, I must say goodnight. But, before I go, can I suggest that any poetry lovers have a read of The Wild Swans At Coole, by WB Yeats. The poem has been going round in my head for the last few weeks.

8:50 pm

thesnark

Thank you!

8:50 pm

I know Wht, I have often wondered why they don't make that distinction. It's a rare event for a municipal area to be unable to provide water.

8:50 pm

Minveryork

I am going to fill up my bathtub tonight.Have never done that before.I laugh at the panic too jmcnrick.Like people have never experienced a tremendous storm before.

8:50 pm

Minveryork

Delightful jesdraggon!

8:51 pm

uusue2

Hi jes!

8:51 pm

jmcnrick

so far the only issue with water in dc was when the sewer overflow meant you needed to boil it

8:51 pm

uusue2

Although if the power is out it can be tricky to boil water unless you have a gas stove

8:51 pm

Minveryork

Hi thesnark! How are you doing? Welcome to the chog.

8:52 pm

wht

Now we had a problem here with the water a year or two ago, but that was when they blew out the main aqueduct from the Quabbin Resevoir. And then it was because of bacteria in the water.

8:52 pm

jmcnrick

i have yet to be convinced that a storm with 60 mph wind surges is a major storm. . . maybe if i lived on the coast and had to worry about tidal surges. . . .

8:52 pm

how goes the new job, uusue?

8:52 pm

Minveryork

I do not think there is a di4/5 need for my story,but I am going to write one anyway, so here it is. I'm in7/32d by so many skillfull and talented babblers here. I as5/12 to be just as talented as some of the babblers here.I'm so far behi4/6 in the ranks. Most people's ranks are pretty high,but not mi4/5.I don't think I will ever me4/6 my rank. I am such a di4/7bat when it comes to babbling. I think I need a Babble dr 4/8 that would enhance my mi4/6 and make me skillful at finding words. I hardly ever get any fireworks,but when I do,it puts a big gr4/6 on my face.I usually hi 4/6 from the chat log because I don't want to admit I don't understand the clues. The monkeys I hi 4/5 do not help much either. Hopefully,some day I will get a gr4/7 on the clues and I will be a better babbler. This is the en 6/27 of my story. I hope you have found mo 4/5 words in the gr 4/7 with this story. I am ir5/14 husband with my babbling. My hubby is making sn 5/12 remarks about Babble as usual.I gr4/6 at what he'll do if I do not give the laptop to him. He always ru 5/12 my babbling. I will get off my he 6/21 and watch "We5/20 Science".I'll be back tomorrow morning at about ni4/4 to begin again

*Pictures JMC on her roof top deck, giving the bird to the gale force winds*

10:46 pm

cosdem

65 and sunny tomorrow i feel left out

10:51 pm

MollyL

Shame you live so far away. You would be fun at a hurricane party.

10:52 pm

cosdem

id drink hurricanes1

10:52 pm

cosdem

Molly guess what I'm doing Thursday Nov 1

10:53 pm

dcseain

it's raining and windy with the outer bands here, and i'm sipping amaretto.

10:58 pm

MollyL

What Cos?

10:59 pm

cosdem

putting out my santa clauses :-D

11:01 pm

MollyL

Dammit. I should have guessed that. : D

11:01 pm

cosdem

Ryan says no tree til 2nd weekend though :(

11:01 pm

MollyL

According to the local weather guys, we are a ways from the fun stuff Seain.

11:02 pm

dcseain

indeed we are, Molly

11:02 pm

dcseain

the slow-moving storms are always 'exciting' that way.

11:02 pm

cosdem

when do the "fun" stuff begin?

11:03 pm

MollyL

Tomorrow afternoon into Tuesday morning.

11:03 pm

dcseain

with trailing bits into Wednesday

11:04 pm

MollyL

And the rule of thumb around here is, if it's usually open, it's closed, if it usually flies, it isn't and if it usually transports you on the ground, it won't.

11:05 pm

dcseain

yes, Metro went from regular service monday to closed in about 30 minutes. Even the Smithsonian is closed in DC and NYC at least Monday, likely Tuesday too.

11:05 pm

cosdem

just saw a pic of times square subway stop. so deserted

11:05 pm

dcseain

NYC public transit shut down at 7PM through at least Tuesday.

11:06 pm

cosdem

yeah i saw that. just the pic was we5 to see

11:06 pm

dcseain

indeed :D

11:07 pm

MollyL

So many people in city areas depend on mass transportation. That is a big problem for some.

11:07 pm

cosdem

i cant imagine what chicago would be like if the el's stopped so i can only think what its like in nyc

11:08 pm

dcseain

less than half of new yorkers have cars -- BIG issue there.

11:09 pm

MollyL

Those are the people who need to stock up for a storm like this. Me, I'm five minutes from the grocery store by car. Although they do get pretty depleted in storm times like this, so I do shop ahead.

11:10 pm

cosdem

i have a 7-11 50 feet away :P

11:19 pm

MollyL

Well, I hope it's a big gr4 next time. Because it could be thin around here the next few days after that.

11:19 pm

cosdem

ahh yes hmm

11:21 pm

dcseain

though i finished two days in a row :)

11:21 pm

MollyL

Big blessings out to all the first responders and medical personnel. It's likely to be a rough four or five days for them.

11:21 pm

dcseain

it's been nice finishing a few for a change.

11:22 pm

cosdem

yes and lets hope for minimal damage

11:22 pm

cosdem

governor of vermont asked everyone to take down their political yard signs to try to decrease the mess

11:23 pm

dcseain

that makes sense with the flooding and wind expected.

11:23 pm

cosdem

right. i thought it was good. forget politics - help lessen work for everyone

11:24 pm

MollyL

At this point, the political signs have done whatever job they were going to do anyway.

11:25 pm

cosdem

right.

11:25 pm

dcseain

indeed, Molly. And my goodness is the Maryland Senate race contested! The ads on WTOP -- just wow.

11:25 pm

dcseain

even the VA Senate seat is not that contested.

11:25 pm

MollyL

Ah, the Giants swept the Series. I'm not surprised.

11:25 pm

cosdem

really? cardin in a contested race? thuoght that was safe D

11:26 pm

cosdem

oh the world series was tonight?

11:26 pm

dcseain

yes, the Giants 4-3 in the 10th :D Sweep, baby!

11:26 pm

MollyL

Didn't it pre-empt Once, Cos?

11:27 pm

cosdem

yay go cubs!

11:27 pm

cosdem

no. once was on abc

11:27 pm

MollyL

Oh yay. I was sure that I had to wait until next week for my Sunday night shows.

11:27 pm

cosdem

but you knew that lol sorry. i think the game was on fox. ryan wanted to watch family guy but he said a game was on i assumed football

11:28 pm

cosdem

the once episode was pretty good.. made sense to me... i thought id be disappointed but. next week should eb good. its the beanstalk episode

11:30 pm

MollyL

Cos, are you still into 666?

11:31 pm

cosdem

Nah. Lost interest but have it on hulu queue just in case

11:32 pm

cosdem

too much like rosemary's baby but with a slow boring plot

11:33 pm

MollyL

I was drifting away, but last week's episode got me interested again. Revolution is another story. I don't think that is going to survive more than one season.

11:34 pm

cosdem

revolution ratings strong. ill watch lastt weeks episode of 666 though ty for heads up

11:34 pm

cosdem

i dont watch revolution i cant stand the girl

11:36 pm

MollyL

This "new season" is really pathetic. I don't think one new show will make it to next year.

11:37 pm

cosdem

the only one i havent lost interest in is "the neighbors" and that wont make it either

11:41 pm

MollyL

Okay, everything that needs doing is done. Have fun with the flippers Cos. : D

cosdem
